@davecb @mattblaze @karlauerbach @violetmadder @mkb @Bandersnatch @DemocracyMattersALot Interesting to know what Toronto does. Thank you for sharing.

@mattblaze @davecb @karlauerbach @violetmadder @mkb @Bandersnatch @DemocracyMattersALot I'm not an expert in this. I appreciate your input.

@mbpaz @violetmadder @mkb @Bandersnatch @DemocracyMattersALot @mattblaze I hear you. My state conducts electronic voting but also prints up each voter's choices (which they verify) as a backup in case a recount is needed.

It seems a bit redundant, but backups are important.

Some of the ideas behind electronic voting are to improve efficiency and accuracy. I suppose there is always room for human error when interpreting other humans' hand written ballots. Fraud can also occur there.

@karlauerbach @mattblaze @violetmadder @mkb @Bandersnatch @DemocracyMattersALot Great points.
I can see all this from a business-perspective.

@karlauerbach @mattblaze @violetmadder @mkb @Bandersnatch @DemocracyMattersALot I hear you all.
Very interesting points and ideas from different perspectives.

Our federal election-voting procedures are also largely governed by individual state laws, as directed by the US Constitution, though efforts have been made to enact overarching standards, guidelines, and testing.

@violetmadder @mkb @Bandersnatch @DemocracyMattersALot @mattblaze Oh sorry to bother you. I was just curious about your ideas.

Thanks for the reference.

@violetmadder @mkb @Bandersnatch @DemocracyMattersALot @mattblaze How would you make it open source?

@violetmadder @mkb @Bandersnatch @DemocracyMattersALot @mattblaze How would you do it better?

@FaithinBones @mkb @Bandersnatch @DemocracyMattersALot I know there are a lot of people like that, unfortunately. I have also heard others who are now against various things that Trump is doing, like his "little excursion" in Iran. I hope there are more of the latter.

@violetmadder @mkb @Bandersnatch @DemocracyMattersALot There is lots of dramatic persuasion & propaganda in the US, but as far as actual (prosecutable) fraud, the conservative Heritage Foundation only lists 1,620 incidents in 43 years, essentially nil (~0.00076% for presidential elections).

Exit polling happens all over the USA. States' results are openly publicized. I'll research it more.

@violetmadder @mkb @Bandersnatch @DemocracyMattersALot Great points and well said.

@mkb @violetmadder @Bandersnatch @DemocracyMattersALot 'Agent Orange' – good term

And I agree that the vote was much closer than it should have been, but some of that could have been attributed to protest votes (or non-votes) rather than a strong base producing such voting turnout. The number of true loyalists might be lower than it seemed, as evidenced by MAGA voices (prominent and common) who are now speaking out against his actions.

@DemocracyMattersALot He's gonna lose every bit of support he has left. MAGA is already fragmenting over his decision to unilaterally push the country into war.

@VeeRat Crazy you should actually think! Why not let Copilot think for you 🙄

Is there a place in the #Fediverse where groups can meet? 🤔
