    Computer wise, the problem is who controls the servers. How would you know for sure what was being done with your voting entries (data)? Hacking is obviously an ongoing issue as well.
    I've never had any problem with On-line Banking. I believe it's encrypted.

    So's a lot of stuff. My view is computers are rat bastards that will sell you out in a nanosecond. You should consider everything you do or put on a computer is forever and potentially will be publicly exposed. There is no such thing as completely safe on-line data.

    I prefer a system that mails you your ballot, which you then have to fill out and hand in in person at a polling station to be counted on a stand-alone network. Have voting occur over say 3 or 4 days this way to include a weekend or have a national holiday for voting. But, you have to turn it in to a person who verifies who you are using proper ID and it gets counted in front of you.

    That isn't absolutely perfect, but it's a damn sight better than unaccountable ballots mailed in or collected by persons unknown.

    Yes. That was why I mentioned 'On-line Voting'. (it was just a suggestion)

    That's a good idea. Having a week or 10 days to cast your Ballot in person. (how come nobody else thought of that?)

    that's still less secure than in person id voting.

    there has to be a paper trail available other than some dork verifying his fucking sql statement.

    Mail-in has no fraud problem. It is trump's way of declaring the election as fraudulent. https://www.nextgov.com/ideas/2020/0...isease/166990/ It is just not true, but Trump is desperate. Evmerto is a Trump operative whose function is to make people believe the safest system we have is fraudulent. He follows orders like WW2 Nazi. I am just following orders. What a good little soldier he is.

    It is unfair to provide an opportunity to cheat when one side is for law and order, and the other side wants to lie, cheat or steal.
    why does the dumbfuck trump say if in FL vote by mail and then sue Nevada for doing the same thing? Half dozen states vote by mail already.

    From Wikipedia:

    Electoral laws typically stipulate a series of checks to protect against voter fraud and allow for the integrity and secrecy of the submitted ballot to be maintained. Known instances of fraud are very rare. Coordinated large-scale fraud by postal voting is hard to pull off undetected because officials, political operators, analysts, scholars and journalists can see indicators of large-scale fraud by observing statistical outliers in vote totals. Officials can confirm instances of fraud by checking signatures and conducting basic detective work.
