[ExI] electronic voting again

[spike]

So here we are, coming up for the fifith major US election just since I have
been hanging out on extropians, or ninth if you count congressional
midterms.  Every other year we get to discussing end-to-end auditable voting
systems, and every time it never happens.  You would think in all that time
of having the technology and an identified problem that we would have
somehow solved it by now, but we are no closer to having that system now
than we were 16 yrs ago.  This time we are coming up on an election with
enormous long term consequences, and ever greater risk of a disputed
election.  Yet somehow we just can't seem to get any traction on a problem
that can be solved with fairly straightforward technology.

 

Sigh.
