It's classic America. Have an overly complicated stupid system that doesn't work, and is inherently unsafe, but don't fix it because doing so would require some billionaire to lose a revenue stream.
That didn’t quite answer the question. I said county not country. I’m in America, elections are run at the county level usually.
Depends on the state/county contract. The ones they had in KY and PA didn't provide any sort of paper backup when I lived there. They just seemed to be a touchscreen with a custom UI.
The US doesn't have a system. Elections are run/supervised by the county and regulated by the state. That makes for a robust system that pretty much can't be subverted, no single throat to choke.
Electronic voting has been compromised multiple times in the United States so that's demonstrably untrue
I think the point was that maybe a system gets subverted but because everyone does it different what you did in that state doesnt always affect every voting place
There's no 1 spot to cheat everyone.
When and where? I'm not thinking about a single example. ?
