I'm not arguing - not at these rates!
I'm saying that, as sophistication grows, trust diminishes.
I could deliver a secure system, for half the price, and that's bona-fide. Non-citizens, dead voters, maiden-name voting, oversees, all considered.
But I don't get invited to those meetings, and I don't specify the systems, and I don't get told the real requirement, just how it should present.
Secure voting, isn't what they ordered - they got what they ordered and now, we must all live by it!
I am, with a laser-sight!
Like, keep your eye on the lady - the rest is smoke and mirrors.
TBH - the way you don't answer a straight question, straight - you have to be a politician.
Or greek, and I don't trust either.
Redundancy in voting?
All of this stuff is your bag - carry it yourself!
I shouldn't be rude. I should say that I don't have to trust any of this, and can write it off as eye-glazing details.
Further, I think I could get enough support to support the idea of manual voting, or some crypto solution, removing the need to trust in black-boxes on many levels.
We could pay for such a system with the savings of not spending hundreds of millions on systems that run Windows 2000 (SP 2). Systems that don't have wifi, but do. Systems that cost millions but, can be undermined by a $1 memory stick.
But, don't leave it up to me - I would see all of these clever people, hung, and publicly.
It cuts through the eye-glazing small-talk, and restores trust, all round.
Man, your job is dull! No wonder you're into muslim porn, eh?!
Which bit is meant to change my mind?
It would've suited me just to hear a valid reason for fractional vote counting, in a voting system of such vast expense.
Cos, as I skim-read all of that, I know that they did use it, despite what they might tell you not to use.
Occurs to me that they did use every means to cheat, in addition to fractional voting.
What do I know? I don't get paid stupid money to develop stupid systems to repress the will of the people.
No. That requires somebody far more 'flexible' than than I might ever be.
They'll never know what they're missing!
