It is completely unimportant who will vote… But what is extraordinarily important is the people who count the votes and how - Joe Stalin
Why...
When we can create such marvel’s as the Hadron Collider, the Millau Viaduct, eye transplants and microwave popcorn, can we not create tamper proof voting systems? My American niece’s partner is in the election business and has a brain the size of a planet, so I only understand about ten percent of what he says. But if I grasp the basic gist you could make things 100% foolproof… but no one agrees unanimously to the system yet! As you all know I steer away from any personal political stance on these missives, but I would have thought life in the US, Venezuela, Iran, Russia, China and India might have been less bumpy if there was 100% confidence in the X cast for a vote. But of course outside of the first example I presume the people in power in the other countries listed don’t really want a foolproof system. They want one they can manipulate. There are those who say the same for the US… but that’s a dangerous path I don’t want to go down. Rather like playing hopscotch on a mine field.
