JudithMeyerDon't forget to vote! https://internal.diem25.org/elections/1/voting
lynX@JudithMeyer I tried, even circumvented the Cloudflare barrier, but then I found that you are using googleapis.com on a voting platform. That's why it doesn't work for me, as I have all Google filtered on my home router. But it's good news for transparency in DiEM25: At least the American government knows how DiEM25 participants voted! Whereas the participants themselves have to trust the webmasters 100%. Maybe they can ask Google for confirmation of the results?
@lynX There must be a mistake; we consciously do not use Google Analytics on either diem25.org or the Members Area. The code of the voting system is not closed-source, any DiEMer with Rails experience can apply to be on the team.
@JudithMeyer Oh, look, here's actual Google code getting executed:
<script type="text/javascript" src="//translate.google.com/translate_a/element.js?cb=googleTranslateElementInit">
And maybe there's more in <script src="/assets/application-d1dabd4a1d8ddcac0e265c1b3b3afc763db2bcd1d24e407713c995cfecf1e227.js"></script>
@lynX Afaik there is no way for Google to know how you vote simply based on the fact that you opened the voting page, or used their automatic translation (sadly DiEM25 does not have the finances to have human translation for all languages). I will ask friends.
@JudithMeyer It's good to look at the source code (where?), but that says little about the safety of the voting database. All votes need to be transparently publicized, or we could be experiencing falsified votes as apparently happened at the Movimento 5 Stelle.
@lynX Github repo available to all DiEMers with Rails experience who volunteer to help. Team-based, not public, because making it public is just an invitation for hackers to find exploits. Given the size of our movement, falsified votes would be very obvious. Publishing however would kill DiEM25 by laying open who-likes-who.
@JudithMeyer I was not able to see how the voting works because for me it isn't working. There is either a "View Candidates" button that shows me profiles of people, or there is a "Read more" which leads to the Call for Candidates page https://internal.diem25.org/en/elections/1/candidates … I don't see any button for doing the actual voting. Maybe it is because of various other Javascripts that I am blocking.
@lynX If you see "View candidates" and "Read more", you should also see a button to vote, if eligible. Maybe you don't meet the requirements, e.g. haven't verified your account, signed up after June 1 or voted already. The vote page itself is https://internal.diem25.org/elections/1/voting , if you go there it should have an error message at the top telling you what's wrong.
Ezekiel@JudithMeyer @lynX ie it is Closed Source, That is like saying Windows is Open Source as every Microsoft employee working on it can see the code. As it is not public you are making it easier for hackers to exploit it as not enough security researches can see vulnerabilities
