How about all of them? Just one big primary day. "Yes, but then people don't have the chance to talk to candidates in person blah blah blah." Look, living in Illinois, I've managed to make decisions about who I vote for without eating corndogs with candidates or whatever.https://twitter.com/JHWeissmann/status/1224409705403101185 …

The fact that the name of the company was a closely withheld secret until tonight even with reporters asking about it is highly concerning. I don't believe anything corrupt, but it's a really bad look. I can't fathom the logic behind this. What merit is there in this?

I would be more sympathetic to this view is I felt it was evenly applied But after "EVIL TRUMP IS GOING TO GIVE ALASKA TO THE RUSSIANS" I can't manage sympathy for the "ok, everyone calm down" crowd.

Do you: a) Have your decent public university CS dept build an open-source solution and ask for public review? b) Pay the lowest bidder and keep it secret from election security experts?https://twitter.com/cwarzel/status/1224539006689411072 …
