i bet online voting has zero or negative impact on turnout after the novelty wears off since the entire idea is predicated on people who "don't like politics" and/or being too piss lazy to go a half kilometer to their poll then it'll turn out some FLDS patriarch got all his teen brides to vote Conservative online who wouldn't otherwise be allowed to leave the compound

gently caress electronic voting in all forms no possible upside many possible downsides give people meaningful choices and the time to exercise them, or stop pretending that votes matter. computers will not save you

I'm pretty sure elections could be done online, the real problem is that it would drastically increase voter turnout, not nebulous "hacking" by some third party Securing a tax return is easier. It only needs to be read by the sender and the intended recipient, and there is no need to disassociate the identity of the sender from the data itself. For online voting to work, you would need a system where the sender cannot be known, the data is readable by everyone yet cannot be altered, and it must be easy enough to use that everyone can do it on any platform. I'm no expert, but I can't think of any cryptosystem that satisfies all these criteria.

My dude, have you heard of blockchain? Like what if we could vote from home, but it was painfully slow, massively wasteful, and absolutely trivial to de-anonymize?

If you cannot walk across the street and spend 5 minutes voting I am pretty OK with you not.

Well sorta, this time it's our rickety old cf-18s that are so old and worn that we're cannibalizing what we have to keep the others in the air, and there's only like two that can fly at any given time.

I thought the Cons banned ex-pats from voting or something, I remember a canadian celebrity was very upset

no i remember that's one of the con changes that trudeau actually undid because expats tend to vote liberal
|
# ? Jan 30, 2018 16:00 |

for the record the change the cons did was to make it so that expats who had been out of the country for 5+ years could no longer vote

as a young person i appreciate the fact that they managed to expand CPP which was no easy thing to do.

my favourite is when the conservative party frames CPP and EI as a tax and its just big guberment taking your hard earned money to spend on trudeau's socks
