Why can we pay taxes remotely, go to trial remotely- but not vote remotely?

[OddBeMe]

apparnetly security for our govt funding and judicial system is apt.

This is voter suppression plain and simple, Republicans generally do better with lower voter turnout. This is not really different than Texas GOP limiting voter drop boxes to one (1) per county. I can promise you that this will cause a giant clusterfuck if you are voting in Dallas, Tarrant, or Harris (Houston) counties among others. In this specific case new mothers, or those about to be, are going to have concerns about accessability, child care, availability of medical care etc etc etc. You know, things the Dems generally champion.
Just another tool in GOP's kit to limit turnout.

Because the system cannot verify and tally votes remotely, and allow independent oversight as well. .

These clowns are too inept to make it work, without trying to cheat.

Funny they catch credit card theives all the time

I'm sure remote voting would work so well in this already fucked up life of using the internet. People who think this would be a good thing probably shouldn't be voting at all.

How many times your bank acct been hacked?

[katiesmuff]

Bank Never, Credit card once. My bank account is set up so every transaction has to be supported with a text code I will instantly get on my phone where I have to reply with code before the transaction can be completed. That includes anything.

[OddBeMe]

Just saying…if they wanted us to vote we could easily.

[katiesmuff]

Not a chance in the world of that! Even the Pentagon was hacked awhile back along with many large mega corporations here. No possible way to do it safely especially with home computers.

[OddBeMe]

We get “hacked” daily by China and Russia. The point is whether they’re successful. Which is never.

[katiesmuff]

Never! Your either trolling or your ignorant here! They got plenty of information from the pentagon hack, they just don't know how much. I also think that over the last several years I've along with millions of others gotten letters from large stores where we are offered free credit checking due to accounts being hacked and everyday individuals are getting credit card and bank accounts hacked. Several months ago there was a report that told in billions how much money has been stolen through hacking.

Nobody is going to fraudulently take your place paying your taxes or go to trial and maybe go to jail. Just common sense.

[OddBeMe]

Very very true, and with little incentive. For what? An extra vote, if it’s not flagged?

[Opinion Owner]

A few extra thousand bought or fraudulent votes can turn things

[DrPepper12]

Too family friendly for the party of family values... Fuckers

You CAN vote remotely... by absentee ballot. I used to work in Connecticut, but I live in Missouri, so I'd always vote by absentee ballot.

[goaded]

Isn't that just in Congress?

In general, there should be human readable paper copies of ballots, to prevent fraud.

[OddBeMe]

That can't be a realistic mainstay in 2021. Blockchain could certainly help this

[goaded]

You can't trust computers. Not for something as important as this. You need something physical to compare the results to.

does the mail-in ballot not cover your issue?

[seeyounexttuesday]

If someone offered you $ 10,000,000 but you had to show up in person, would you do it?

[OddBeMe]

No, i will not fuck you.

[seeyounexttuesday]

you really have a lot of gay sex on your mind.

[Anonymous]

remote voting? you really have no understanding of cyber security do you?

[pacificopete]

I hate you Elon people who are trying to come up with better ways to do things!

[Twalli]

We can, mail-in voting.
