(7,142 posts)The US used to be the gold standard for fair elections. We used to head delegations to banana Republics to oversee their elections. Want to know one of the tools we used to insure fair elections? Exit polling. Exit polling was a reliable indication of fair elections. Isn't it odd that since we went to voting machines all of a sudden exit polling isn't reliable any more? I wonder why?
Our voting is a joke. We vote into machines that are never independently audited because the owner of the machines claims proprietary rights for his software. The owner doesn't want someone to steal his program about how 1+1=3, or after 4 D votes 1 vote gets flipped to an R vote. Math is complicated, we can't have someone stealing that addition/subtraction software.
