I want to be able to vote online, too, but then I think about how easy it is to falsify your identify online vs in person and I don't know how it could work without introducing a new level of probable fraud.

I'm confident that if done correctly we can make it work. Like I said it would keep Republicans from ever winning again so be impossible to get our politicians to put money into a secure app that allow us to easily vote.

Barring that we should eliminate gerrymandering and electoral collge and make automatic registration for anyone over 18.

We know for a fact they can do that because they just did it with the draft.

Software guy here. I'd like a paper ballot. If it's possible, it wouldn't be done correctly anyway.
