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
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
I think that a moderate democrat could be convinced to change their focus from banning voter ID requirements, to requiring the government to ensure free ID enfranchisement
im not from the u.s but we have cheap i.d you can get from any police station in australia that serves no other purpose other than as identification for those that don't drive
Getting an ID in NYC took me an entire afternoon(12-5pm) and something like 60 bucks
