    You could just vote with paper and actually count. You don’t have to use machines owned by lobbying multibillionaires.

        It’s not pedantic to insist that your democracy is predicated upon a simple and easy to audit mechanism. In fact, it’s essential.

        It’s how many advanced democracies do it. Electronic voting is just the illusion of modernity.

          Pedantic to mention it because “showing up” can be a term for “doing it” and doesn’t literally mean a physical presence at a voting boot.
