this was what my friend was talking about with the Sharpie situation
https://twitter.com/joliecajun/status/1323880399236329472

but both of those town are in Maricopa county, and sharpies can be use in those counties. I wonder why all the hubbub

Not enough information

agreed

yeah i've seen quite a few video's but i've seen no evidence that it voids the ballot

it seems like people are making an issue of something that isn't

It might be that some sharpies are ok

Just not enough info

the colour red is not a thing they want

maybe the blockchain voting system is the way to go lol....

maybe

Blockchain voting? I haven't heard of that before

Cryptocurrency, like bitcoin

The same technology can be used for voting

Is it secure and reliable?

Can have some nice features like transparency, publicly auditable, cryptographically secure, and with some finesse, anonymity

And most importantly, proven

In theory yes

In practice no

Well darn

It would raise so many other issues

You'd need a cryptographically secure id

So you'd have to win the voter id fight first

What are the arguments against voter id?

It sounds like a smart thing to have

It does

But there are fights all over the US claiming that some people don't have ids

And that voter id laws are about disenfranchising minorities

the claim is poor people don't have id and your surpressing their right to vote by requiring it

ridiculous

Driver's Licenses are valid forms of ID in darn near any other capacity

The argument is separate from the implications

State IDs also count to a degree

Not to mention Military IDs

If we can't agree on that, we aren't doing anything like blockchain

I don't see how the implications have any grounds to stand on. Especially with the multiple forms of valid State/Federal IDs that you get eventually

ah i missed your earlier comments yes you are correct

@DeathRhodes666 there is no point arguing with me about it lol, you preaching to the choir

you would need i.d you'd get your key and every vote would be accounted for you would be able to confirm it yourself

@realz fair haha. Guess I need to do some internet browsing to try and find any logical grounds for not having voter ID

There are some good ancillary arguments of general voter suppression
