Republicans passed a bill in Texas to end countywide-voting, which allows voters to choose polling locations that are convenient or have short lines, and a bill allowing the state to take over county election administration on flimsy pretexts.
If signed into law, the fix is in. Republicans will close locations in opposition areas to engineer impossibly long lines for democrats, but keep voting fast and easy for Republicans.
@summersun704 @alexwild Are you claiming that Democrats who haven't figured out how to secure online voting are just as bad as Republicans who are closing polling places to suppress rivals?
"Illegal immigrants' <quote>right<quote>"? Bro, your boys just spent four years literally violating the fucking Geneva Conventions to persecute refugees for fun. Think maybe you might want to check how the fash treat disabled? You were on the hit list.
@summersun704 @alexwild Because authenticating the voter while guaranteeing anonymity of the ballot while providing an audit tail, with an uninsurable failure state, is orders of magnitude more difficult than securing user-bound transactions when failure is just a predictable amount of lost money.
We have one of the nation's experts on election security on Mastodon now. Follow along and you'll learn why it's a hard problem.
