Americans: Do you have faith in your electoral system?

Question

with all the electoral f*** ups in Florida and Iowa...and tampured e-voting machines and the lobbiests pushing to get e-voting everywhere...some say more than half of all votes are made electronically...numerous programmers claim that the machines can be easily and undetectably tampered with...I'm an environmentalist but i have no problem using tones of paper for BALLOTS...it's the only way to protect your vote. do you listen to them when they say "oh these hanging chads and holes don't line up with the candidates name....what a hastle. let's use our wonderful and infaluable technology."

Answer 1

Its pretty much proven that the electronic system is screwed up and that only proves that our vote really doesnt count.

Answer 2

No, i don't have faith in our electoral device. although an electoral device and an digital device are actually not the comparable element. and that i don't have plenty faith in the two. A president must be appointed in keeping with a populous vote not via electoral colleges. As for the digital balloting device, it would desire to look state-of-the-artwork and state-of-the-artwork, yet in recent times it variety of feels that any laptop application might properly be corrupted, altered, abused, what have you ever.

Answer 3

I just read yesterday that in my home state of Florida, African-American voters were erased from the voting roll and couldn't vote in 2000 and 2004 thanks to a bunch of Republicans. I know that many e-voting machines aren't tamper-free and are really easy to manipulate. We need to use paper ballots again and a good idea would be to use a paper ballot with bar codes (just like coupons) and the vote would be scanned in a computer and would be inserted into a ballot box. There, you have 1 vote but it's casted twice (obviously, if there's a need for a recount). We just can't allow to have one of our sacred rights be destroyed in the name of vote-tampering and special interests. Thanks!

Answer 4

The flaw is not in the technology. It is in the game that is being played with us all.

You are given a choice between candidates that both want to take away rights and spend your money while telling you that the other is evil and that they are going to reform. But we are duped into thinking we have control and that whether we vote for the Democrat or Republican will make a difference. It won't. It never has.

Answer 5

As a matter of fact, the electoral system is what prevents fraud. The only votes that "really" matter are those that are made by your state representatives. They usually vote according to the state's majority vote, but not necessarily.

Answer 6

You might not have noticed that the people who have complained most about losing elections are the liberals in our country. Even though they are at least equally guilty of voter fraud (cemetery inhabitants vote regularly and often in Chicago and felons voting in Florida), they complain the loudest. It might make a foreigner think American conservatives are uniquely guilty.

Answer 7

neither party is going to allow themselves to be screwed by electoral fraud, they have too much power and ability to ensure that that doesn't happen. all these claims that elections were stolen are bogus and their objective is to get people like you to think like you do. i have faith in the electoral system, what i don't have faith in is the american people's ability to elect someone who doesn't suck.

Answer 8

Damn straight I have ultimate faith in our electoral system! It has prevented left-wing socialist communists from getting into the oval office. Enough said!!!!

Answer 9

Answer 10
