We spent millions on electronic voting machines in the early 2000s. Think one constituency might have gotten to use them once on a trial run. They’ve been dumped in a shed somewhere ever since cos they’re dodgy as fuck. Convicted terrorists being elected isn’t an especially rare occurrence here, we have abstentionist political parties who won’t even participate in elections and seemingly only exist to cause trouble, but even we won’t use electronic voting machines. We also show ID in order to cast a ballot.

FWIW all the electronic machines I've ever used, and this includes most of the states generate a paper ballot that the voter verifies and dumps in a box. The sketchy part is the counting and reporting.

And do they count the paper ballot or the machine? If they count the paper ballot what’s the point of the machine, and if they count the machine numbers what’s the point of the paper ballot (they’re hackable, that’s why we dumped ours I think)?

Our elections are a joke.

The Daley family ruled Chicago for longer than most actual monarchies.

I suspect these machines were used more for profit more than turning elections. Especially in the US where much of the battle line is drawn down the middle. They killed the Golden Goose by over exposing the profitable cheat machines. IMHO.

Every single presidential election in US history has been rigged. In the 20th century, one only needs to see the Trilateral Commission picked every president.

That is outrageous. WE were lulled into complacency. NEVER thought something like this could TRUE.

Funny in a clownish sort of way
