It's a system that provides integrity - something our current system lacks entirely.

I'd like to be able to check my vote with my phone so I can verify it was recorded correctly.

here, this guy does a much better job of explaining it then i will.

Electronic voting is Cringe; all hail the Paper Ballot

Paper ballot is rife with vulnerabilities. E-Voting is no different, but provides the means to *validate* votes and voters.

I am ok with ballot's made to be counted by machines, but they should also be countable by people.

maybe every voting house could have an infra red flare indicating one candidate or the other

use the machine to quick count and sort then dobble and tripple check with people.

i've got an idea, let's not let dead people vote

Databases are the future regardless. It just makes sense to move to an E-vote model. Provide voters with PIV cards for 2-Factor auth. Let them get a printed copy of their ballot at the polls.

All of this saves millions, provides voter integrity, and allows you to instantly validate your district's votes.

until one person hacks into that database and does what ever they want to it.

I agree that district databases should still be separate.

But this isn't that hard to implement, and is lightyears better than the current system.

even still, that wouldn't add any security.

and this is a system that only is used what once a year? less?
big companies can't even launch new platforms with out tons of bugs and the ACA website was even worse.

I don't trust computers to do this.

It would require legislation similar to HIPPA or CCPA. I would trust a system that provides instant validation over an archaic paper ballot distribution that will always yield errors and be subject to exploitation.

As far as security, Defcon's take on current ballot systems and their wide disparity in make/model currently in place is far more terrifying that an overarching architecture.

People with older model phones will claim they are oppressed because the app is slower and it caused him to miss a vote

They couldn't listen to mumble rap and vote at the same time on the same device, this is clearly racist

I support the idea of being able to *check your vote* on the phone - but still required attendance at a physical location to *cast your vote*

How often does an update for software totaly break it?

You think that wouldn't happen with this system?

If all states work on standardized hardware - that require patching before being placed in operation - it's pretty foolproof.

Banks operate on the same model.

If you want real security put live streams at the counting places.

Take it back to the CIA model - Confidentiality to only be able to check who you voted for with a provided voter registration number and phone number as 2-factor auth.

Integrity - Systems must adhere to latest patch level, votes require registration number, votes cannot be case without auth.

Authorization - voters are only able to cast a ballot once registered, present at booth, and validate themselves.

so all the systems are the same makeing hacking rather easy and only tested full scale during a vote.

All systems are in a closed network - same as current models.

nothing is hacker prof

Sure - but the current paper model is *much more* easy to exploit than a distributed E-vote

how so?

you can't hack paper once it is in the ballot box.

Ballot harvesting, absentee ballot, votes from the deceased, miscounts ( Flordia 2001 nightmare )

and the people doing the counting are being watched be people form bolth sides.

And states having a wide disparity in voter registration requirements.

Shit, you could go register at your local office and exploit absentee ballots with zero technical skill.

That just happened in NC's 9th Congressional District
