Anyone who believes the US will see another legitimate democratic election is fooling themselves.
That’s what I’ve been saying since the election
That’s been the truth for at least as long as i’ve been alive.
Why the fuck is a private company even involved in our elections to begin with?
American ingenuity, it’s not corruption when a private company does it for political favors!
What do you want the government to pay people to do stuff that benefits the population? When a private sector can remove all the guardrails and outsource labor, ludicrous.
Well fuck.
I believe those were the same words uttered by half of Americans who chose not to vote last time round.
I don’t like it either. But …
Third-Party Auditing: Incorporating rigorous, industry-leading third-party auditing standards to verify election integrity at every step."
… does sound like a good step. Give NPR/researchers access and only run audited code. It’s what we’d ask of Republicans if Democrats owned the company.
I’d still prefer open source.
They’re not talking third-party as in political party. Third-party just references an outside individual or group they don’t directly control. The third-party auditor won’t be an independent third-party. It will 100% be a GOP-aligned group.
Can’t wait for it to be a totally neutral and moral company not named after Lord of the Rings Lore like Palantir or Anduril
It doesn’t even need to be “aligned”. I remember the savings and loan debacle.
And hand-marked paper ballots. I don’t trust the electronic voting machines.
And now that the shithead cheaters OWN THE VOTING MACHINES I’m sure they will suddenly be saying they’re the most trustworthy things ever.
Reminder: check your voting results frequently when you vote next
The new owner, Scott Leiendecker — a former Republican election director from St. Louis and founder of the tech company KNOWiNK — says his goal is to rebuild confidence in America’s voting process through transparency and paper-based security.
Thank goodness.
Is that paper 100% untouched by machines? Is it manually counted by multiple people of opposing parties?
If no to either, then it’s untrustworthy.
Actually votes already are even under the current system
Moreso now
