I'd say the permanency and auditability of physical ballots far outweighs any potential efficiency of an electronic system. Especially when you have candidates calling the results of the election into question before voting even begins.

Ballots can be done with an LCD touch display provided there is a receipt trail and such, but for the sake of simplicity and the fact that paper does not go into an "out of order" state, there is no reason to switch away from what is tried and true.

Those are fun. And if you google anything about her, the only thing you find is Postmedia papers writing about how she needs to be kicked out of cabinet for having unknowingly lied on her refugee application in a completely meaningless way.

The paper ballot system we have works really well, there's no way we should even entertain the idea of changing it given the poo poo that routinely goes down in the States. e: VVVV Which is exactly why we don't have those retarded mega-ballots. If people are voting on five issues, just give them five different ballots. PittTheElder fucked around with this message at 16:43 on Nov 1, 2016 |

They're great for Canadian elections when you're making exactly one choice from a handful of possibilities. Meanwhile, in New York  I don't know much about US elections but don't they vote for judges and congressmen and meter maids and a proposition to amend the addendum to the odd-numbered chapters of the municipal water budget all at the same time?

I can't get over this election. It will be studied for years to come for just how batshit insane it has become. Any one of Hate Mango's statements would have torpedoed a normal candidate. The "Grab them by the pussy" tape would have been considered the nuclear option in elections past. We're into full-on Neutron bomb stage now.

I know a lot of you think that Michael Moore is a hack but he's been saying the past couple months that in talking to people he runs in to, there's a massive pile of secret Trump voters who are basically keeping that poo poo to themselves but intending to vote Trump on election day, not because they think he'd be a good president, but basically to give the finger to the US political system. I really hope it's true.

The link to that Michael Moore was posted a few days ago. I think he understands poorer white voters quite well and like most people he speaks well on a few issues and is full of poo poo on others. What the US needs is a federal agency like Elections Canada to have uniform ballots and uniform voting rules and requirements across the entire country. For some reason they leave it to the state, I assume because there's local and state issues also on the same ballot? Dreylad fucked around with this message at 17:25 on Nov 1, 2016 |

Not to mention it's a privileged as gently caress position because 'accelerationism' will almost certainly be worse on women and minorities during the transition period.

The combination of the Electoral College and the extreme wealth of poll data makes US Presidential Elections super easy to predict by debate time. The interesting races are all the downtickets, where the Democrats have a chance at retaking the Senate (and no chance at all of retaking the House, hurray for Gerrymandering and Democratic incompetence!).
