Karma: 83 Yeah, that checks out. No, they have a point. Electronic voting is a bit less secure, but the real issue is it breaks trust in elections. You basically have a black box that spits out a winner and you just have to trust that it's counted properly. To steal an analogy from Tom Scott: If instead of a machine, you had to tell your vote to some guy at the polling booth and he promises he'll record it correctly. How confident would you be that everything was on the up and up? You could give some sort of receipt or record of the vote, at which point you now have an insanely expensive pencil. On topic: No. You cannot have current events without politics. The big current event is Iran's attack on Israel, which is absolutely impossible to discuss without also discussing the politics of the region that sparked said attack. --- Fan of metal?

If you believe that voting machines are secure just because they're computers, you should seriously look into just how vulnerable computers are to anyone with a strong enough desire to get into them. That's to say nothing of errors, either from the computers or their users. Here's an example from Scotland, where simply not scrolling over properly on a file nearly changed the results of the election: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2007/jun/20/scotland.devolution It's not that hard to compromise a human, but it's much harder to compromise several of them and the number of votes they can affect is much lower. In addition, the more people involved, the more chances there are for someone blowing the lid on any such plots, as you only need one person to sound the alarm. --- Fan of metal? Don't mind covers?

If you believe that voting machines are secure just because they're computers, you should seriously look into just how vulnerable computers are to anyone with a strong enough desire to get into them. That's to say nothing of errors, either from the computers or their users. Here's an example from Scotland, where simply not scrolling over properly on a file nearly changed the results of the election: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2007/jun/20/scotland.devolutionIt's not that hard to compromise a human, but it's much harder to compromise several of them and the number of votes they can affect is much lower. In addition, the more people involved, the more chances there are for someone blowing the lid on any such plots, as you only need one person to sound the alarm. </quote> ... Copied to Clipboard!
Sephiroth_C_Ryu 04/14/24 12:18:24 PM #83:	The definition of current events includes political news too. Yes, I know that is, and especially was, not what people used this board for. But there is no reason not to allow actual current events, which includes politics. If you are here for things that are not current events, it is just the minor hassle of having to not click topics about it.
