>> Securing the transactions are not the problem. It is ensuring that the people who are purportedly doing the transactions actually are, And are uncoerced and unbribed, Not to mention the problem of access. Essentially every person in the country has secure internet access today. Presumably, there were be places with voting machines (ordinary PCs) for any county that needs them. I don’t they would get any use. So, now, you are concerned about whether they can protect their right to vote. That is downright, LOL funny, after the bullshit you pulled last year with absentee ballots. That is the most absurd thing I’ve ever heard. So, you're okay with ballot harvesting but suddenly you don’t think people can protect their cellphones from abuse with a private key? As to ATMs, my point was that security was never a problem, so I guess you agree. The legislative work was happening early, but anything happening in Austin moves slow as hell, and the redefinition of branch banking took a long time (months). However, we knew it was happening and got almost daily updates on the branch banking problem as it happened even As we were doing development in anticipation of the rule change and there was not any doubt it was in fact happening. The idea that you are trying to suggest that people can manage absentee ballot security in a Democrat funded, Democrat ballot harvesting operation better than they can with their own PC or cell phone is true guffaw material. Cell phones and easily support the most secure voting arrangement one can envision. As of a year ago 97% of Americans owned a cell phone. For the (essentially zero) people who think they cannot vote securely, they can go to the library, a friends house or the polling place, similar to they way they do all the other things in life that require using a secure website when no one is threatening them. This is the most bogus argument I’ve ever heard against doing something that obviously would vastly improve security over what we now have. Most of the people I know who are not particularly tech savvy use cell phones daily. In fact, my best friend from college finally got one two years ago after refusing for years. He’s 74 and Handled it just fine, and even uses the hotspot for his internet now. I don’t know anyone else of voting age who doesn’t have and know how to use a cell phone. This is a hilarious joke. Yet another accusation that your voting public is too stupid to function. Why do yo denigrate your own voters? I don’t know of any Republicans who can do it.
