    Yup agree there is coercion. That still happens. No way to know for sure what people vote for but we shouldn’t hold back technology because it can be used for nefarious purposes.

    Let’s ban all internet use because it can be harmful. Ban books because they can spread lies.

    We can learn from the past and out safeguards in place. Nothing is 100%. But we can’t stop things because bad things might happen

      I think that missed the point. We should move to digital platforms as and when they become better than the existing ones. Voting is no where near that threshold.

        Takes decades to transition. So start now and roll it out slowly. Catch bugs and patch them. Build a safe a secure system.
