Online voting could reshape U.S. elections, making them more accessible and potentially increasing turnout. But security concerns, privacy issues, and trust in results are major challenges. Could online voting lead to higher engagement, or would it create more risks than benefits? Would it increase trust in the election process or deepen skepticism? What’s your take on the future of online voting?

Ideally, yes.
Realistically for the time being, good god no. It’d be a cyber security nightmare.
If you can figure out how to have anonymous and secure ANYTHING over the internet you’d win a nobel prize.
For the moment, claims to do all three either lie about one part or are as sci-fi magic as sapient AI or faster than light communication.
I have a dream of a direct democracy through a voting app that pings you with referendums as they come up. There would be message boards for federal, state, and local levels with threads for each proposed referendum. Totally anonymous of course.
It could be a golden age of true democracy. Too bad about the cyber security nightmare.
You won’t have to worry about that pesky voting shit if Trump wins
Absolutely not
I would like it if it actually worked but that feels more like a “post-terraforming mars” kind of thing.
Hackable as fuck. Paper optical scan ballots that can be machine or hand counted and audited is the gold standard for a reason
I don’t even trust then votes on this comment to be trustworthy.
