How does the machine know your secret code if it's not stored somewhere other than your card? If it doesn't know the code, it cannot create the correct hash. The only way this concept works is with public key cryptography. I'm not sure the public is ready for the care they'd need to take in creating and keeping their own public/private key pair for voting.

We'd have to do something like give out YubiKeys or similar hardware tokens that can generate and store a key pair. Even still, we'd have to walk the public through the process and still have the ability to handle people that lose them. Even if we issued two in case of hardware failure, it gets complicated.

Your concept essentially re-creates signing your vote with a private key and verifying it with the public key. It's a decent idea, but not secure in the details you've given.

Don't use toll roads and get a burner cell phone? Get tested?

Unless you're taking a principled stand against the requirements because they are government overreach. That makes sense.

I voted McCain in that election and I feel pretty filthy about that. You do the best you can with the information you have at the time.

Onward and upward!

Better yet. Let us keep our own money and decide to willingly donate to private charities that do the same work, but aren't part of the federal bureaucracy.

Mark Thomsen is a tool.

Good. The only thing that counters bullies is standing up to them. Glad they came back around. I hope they know we support them.

Yes! They just (2223 CDT) shut down a change on what would cause ballots to be rejected. The usurpers were trying to change the language to cut off one of Trump's legal challenges. Failed 3-3.

The upvote/downvote ratio is probably a good indicator of the ratio of "internet users" to "people who actually know how to run services on the internet".

The article has a more balanced view than simply that Tucker "cucked-out". He just said what we can prove "now" won't flip, but also that that could change.

Good riddance! Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Wisdom. Pedes need to review some more history. There's good reasons for exhausting all other options before using force. See all of human history.

This is concentrating power in the Federal government at a level I'm not comfortable with. We need to be wise about how we fix problems. The simple solution is to concentrate power. It is likely not the wisest or only solution.

I think that's ballots versus registered voters. Could be ballots versus eligible voters.

Now ask yourself, "Which arms of our government did that and why?"

Were they truly looking or for the good of America and her people?

He had a bump after 9/11, but not long after they were back to calling him a moron.

If we can secure the voting process for one day, we can do it for more. The important thing is to secure the rolls and ensure the people voting are the people on the rolls.

If you run your state or locality poorly, don't expect the rest of us to bail you out.
