blackflame7001··on 16M Americans will vote on hackable paperless machines
What about the disenfranchisement of citizens who's will is overrun by people not eligible to vote? Are you really trying to convince me that we should make our elections insecure because some people want to vote in federal election while simultaneously not wanting the federal government to have their ID. You do realize you have to register to vote right? Why should we all make our election insecure for people who don't even trust the government themselves?

"that doesn’t exist in practice"

It's ridiculous to assert that it doesn't exist in practice due to lack of evidence when in reality pretending to be someone else to vote leaves virtually no evidence. You can't even begin to analyze the problem so its laughable for you to assert such things.

I don't get your argument. If something doesn't work on the small scale it certainly won't work on a large scale. That's exactly my original point about managing global finance

How else would you do it on a machine not connected to the internet?

Neither does machine tampering because they are not networked.

The whole point of this article is to make elections more secure not be complacent with the status quo. Not having an ID and needing an ID to vote are 2 different issues that democrats insist on making the same. Just give every citizen a free ID. It would cost less than 1 days interest on the national debt. The real reason is because democrats want to turn texas blue like they did to new mexico and dominate elections with just 3 states

Go look for Russian collusion, “it’ll be hard to find some, because historically it just doesn't happen”

Still satisfied with your argument?

You start off speaking for a group and end saying you’re only speaking for a percentage of that group. You just totally invalidated the basis of your argument from earlier

It’s totally necessary because HN is predictable as clock work to downvote when you insinuate the liberal standard has flaws, the biggest of which is the inability to be critical of themselves without instinctively reacting to inflict pain (downvoting)

Your comment makes no sense in context with the original article. Why would someone spend all the time and effort to hack voting machines when they can just walk up look at the list and pick a name without a signature and say yup thats me. Ive worked at a poll it just a list with peoples names sitting on a table

Then why are Democrats against showing an ID to prove you are who you say you are? Why are Democrats OK with allowing ballot harvesting in California when the election in North Carolina was invalidated for the same reason?

Naw, 5G will finally end the telecom monopoly on the utility poles. Netflix beat blockbuster by being smarter, Microsoft lost its edge in mobile by being complacent. Monopolies in a non-crony version of capitalism are not bad in their own right.

So without Big Government, Steve Jobs would have just called it quits then? Get real! Its the entrepreneurial spirit that drove them to compete and what drives any successful company to compete. There's always a new model private jet coming out next year.

this scenario has literally never happened. I wish I could downvote this stupid comment because it's moronic.

Then how did Netflix dethrone Comcast? Goliath doesn't always win. The person who makes the superior product wins. Apple is almost never first to market with an idea anymore because they simply wait and do it better. New companies with better ideas are constantly upsetting the apple cart. For god sakes take a look at the mighty brick and mortar stores like Macy's, JCPenny, and nostrums once thought invincible. Goliath only wins, in the minds of people like you who think they can't be beaten.
