    Who runs U.S. elections? In many parts of the country, particularly where tech expertise and budgets are thin, it’s a private company that makes voting equipment, some of which is probably vulnerable to hacking.http://apne.ws/20iZ7rO

        We have to go back to paper ballots until such time that the security of voting machines can be failsafe. I don’t see that happening anytime in the near future bcuz there are so many evil SOB’s with their grubby fingers in these systems.

        There's a lot of misconceptions about electronic voting so here I am. Electronic voting is necessary to centralize the votes and those are generally the failure points and where lies the danger.

        What we do here in tiny Belgium is we print unique auditable paper ballot which we scan on the central computer. Like that you collect the results fast and in case of problems the paper can be audited

        There's no reason to have our voting connected to the internet, nor to not use a hard copy for every vote for verification This digital method is simply one that is too insecure & too easily manipulated America shouldnt trust those who hate each other to let the elections be fair

        After seeing our former secretary of state's bathroom server, through which see routed classified information, please don't lecture us about the superior security of government communications and networks. Not to mention a number of major hacks the federal govt has experienced.

        For either side would be bad to do. No matter who did it there would be riots.

        Hint... We have smart phones which can read —>FINGERPRINTS <—. It’s time to stop relying on flashier versions of archaic methods. If we learn to adapt, in general, we can be more likely to thrive.
