I had no idea her firm made voting machines. Good luck 2020 USA!
I feel like there should be a ban on politicians having any relationship at all with the companies that make voting machines. You can't have political staffers count the votes, so why can they make the voting machines?
Wow, seriously? This is so transparent it should be studied by optical scientists.
I hope this unlocks the key towards achieving invisible tanks
China.
The daughter of POTUS whose husband is somehow an important diplomatic figure in the US is selling voting machines to a government well known for corruption and whose leader has been titled "core leader for life"......
When does reality kick back in?
there is but its incredibly vague and the republicans don't care
I think it would be more effective if the voting machines and the software they use is publicly available so anyone can examine it for security.
Doesn't that mean hackers can examine it too? Including state-sponsored spies with near-unlimited resources?
Closed-source implementations of things are never trustworthy for a very simple reason.
Open-sourced alternatives are popular because they can be fixed quickly, either officially or unofficially, the community can contribute knowledge that maintainers may not have, and there is all the transparency you can have.
Security through obscurity is for idiots.
The irony of voting machines being manufactured in China
Next President doesn't take office until January 2021. We're only halfway through.
So long as the US doesn't actually use those voting machines it should be fine. If they do then that would be a scandal and a half.
I don't really know what to feel about external governments creating voting machines for other governments. That just screams interference.
The Chinese should be making their own systems, for their own government. The US shouldn't be involved in theirs, nor they in ours.
