Which is why researchers of electronic voting defend the use of Voter Verifiable Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT).
But anyway, "this isn't a discussion" is consistent with statements like "there is absolutely zero reason to expose voting systems to a digital threat vector" so I guess there are things we seem to agree on.
And any researcher who is advocating for the paper trail should trivially realize that soon as you add that, then you literally have the system we have today with counting machines and we dont need to invite all the issues with electronic voting.
As i said take it from people who actually write software as a career. We're literally telling you its not worth the effort/risks.
It'd be prohibitively expensive and borderline impossible due the fact you'd need to audit hundreds of millions of lines of code.
We're literally telling you to not pay us to do that work because its a bad idea.
As I do... but I'd rather not take it from software engineers because we are not experts. I'd rather listen to real experts, the folks who research this topic as their career.
Noted.
smile then you're simply clueless. Send me your sources I'll tear down your supposed experts if it gets you to stop spreading this nonsense
Interesting. Which claim would you be interested in reading the sources?
Anyone you think is an expert and has made claims about electronic voting being a good idea 😂. I cant refute your nonsense without knowing what you are seeing and thinking. We'd just continuely talk past each other.
“good idea” is subjective and unspecific language so it doesn’t make sense to find sources for it. Can you just quote specific sentence I said that you would like to refute as “nonsense”?
Na we're done. There isnt anything to discuss at this point. Ive asserted the entire idea is bunk and you've asserted without evidence that 'expert researchers' say it isnt but dont have any sources.
