    This is true. Is there any other wealthy democracy with voting systems as checkered as the United States?https://twitter.com/DavidLauter/status/1224701289269014533 …

    Dems likely too bruised to make this case, but Iowa debacle is good argument for why essential services, like elections, shouldn't be run by private sector & volunteers (even earnest midwestern ones), as opposed to gov't employees.

        Is there any major developed country that has such an incompetent government?

        Why does this process involve putting an untested private app on a volunteers unsecured public phone? And I’m sorry but likely a volunteer that may not be comfortable with technology.

        The only voting system the US needs involves paper ballots, and looks like this:pic.twitter.com/qeZ2Z5X25W

        Bangladesh in the '90s was pretty bad. India too maybe 🤷🏾‍♂️

        Elections Canada could teach a lot about running elections with few if any glitches. And they get it done in the second largest country in the world in one day with paper ballots, pencils, regardless of weather conditions.

        The United States voting system is lousy and harmful as our healthcare system- probably for some of the same reasons.

        Private sector can do good work. But pick experienced, talented people. The resume of the CEO of Shadow is unimpressive. Very unimpressive (if you know software development/deployment).https://www.linkedin.com/in/gerard-niemira-aaa9b73/ …
