It might be that some sharpies are ok

2020-11-04 18:13:51 UTC  

Just not enough info

2020-11-04 18:13:55 UTC  

the colour red is not a thing they want

2020-11-04 18:14:32 UTC  

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

2020-11-04 18:15:54 UTC  

maybe

2020-11-04 18:17:18 UTC  

Blockchain voting? I haven't heard of that before

2020-11-04 18:17:53 UTC  

Cryptocurrency, like bitcoin

2020-11-04 18:18:03 UTC  

The same technology can be used for voting

2020-11-04 18:18:55 UTC  

Is it secure and reliable?

2020-11-04 18:18:56 UTC  

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

2020-11-04 18:18:59 UTC  

And most importantly, proven

2020-11-04 18:19:02 UTC  

In theory yes

2020-11-04 18:19:06 UTC  

In practice no

2020-11-04 18:19:18 UTC  

Well darn

2020-11-04 18:19:32 UTC  

It would raise so many other issues

2020-11-04 18:19:42 UTC  

You'd need a cryptographically secure id

2020-11-04 18:19:55 UTC  

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

2020-11-04 18:20:19 UTC  

What are the arguments against voter id?

2020-11-04 18:20:24 UTC  

It sounds like a smart thing to have

2020-11-04 18:20:28 UTC  

It does

2020-11-04 18:20:44 UTC  

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

2020-11-04 18:21:09 UTC  

And that voter id laws are about disenfranchising minorities

2020-11-04 18:21:15 UTC  

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

2020-11-04 18:21:22 UTC  

ridiculous

2020-11-04 18:21:36 UTC  

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

2020-11-04 18:21:41 UTC  

The argument is separate from the implications

2020-11-04 18:21:45 UTC  

State IDs also count to a degree

2020-11-04 18:21:51 UTC  

Not to mention Military IDs

2020-11-04 18:21:59 UTC  

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

2020-11-04 18:22:48 UTC  

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

2020-11-04 18:22:53 UTC  

ah i missed your earlier comments yes you are correct

2020-11-04 18:23:34 UTC  

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

2020-11-04 18:23:39 UTC  

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

2020-11-04 18:24:19 UTC  

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

2020-11-04 18:24:49 UTC  

There are some good ancillary arguments of general voter suppression

2020-11-04 18:26:25 UTC  

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

2020-11-04 18:26:51 UTC  

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

2020-11-04 18:26:57 UTC  

Getting an ID in NYC took me an entire afternoon(12-5pm) and something like 60 bucks

2020-11-04 18:27:03 UTC  

That is insane

2020-11-04 18:27:21 UTC  

Yeah that's a bit ridiculous. Bureaucracy at its finest haha.

2020-11-04 18:27:34 UTC  

FL was the best experience with ID
