. . . that would be 'vote-by-mail' ('some' issues), digital "voting" has 'problems'

@FearlessFly I think vote by mail (those IRS centers ain't busy in November!) would be just fine. I know A Lot of Seniors who would get disenfranchised if they had to have an internet connection.

@AnneWimsey I can't speak for 'everywhere' but around here, all libraries offer internet.

@FearlessFly no libraries around here are currently open.
Plus, it would make some feel "stupid" so they wouldn't do it...after all the Senior Center constantly offers free classes, have for decades, they could have taken one. Around here they are free, mostly.
A nice envelope with postage-paid addressed return at each home, one per person...and it would bolster the Post Office as well

@AnneWimsey I"m not against vote-by-mail, but some will/do argue that presents "opportunities" for 'intervention' (PO employee(s) ) and 'fraud' .

@FearlessFly around here, all libraries are Closed, when will they reopen?
And people have a major aversion to feeling "stupid"...Senior Centers have been offering free "learn to use the internet" for decades... some do not want to learn some have no "extra" money for a device, etc etc....so much simpler to get a nice "postage-paid return" envelope, one per person, and send it back. Also keeps your choices private, which a librarian looking over your shoulder will not. And, help the Post Office!

@AnneWimsey I know of NO computer scientist (including me) who thinks online voting is a good idea. And I am not opposed to mail-in voting, but :

@FearlessFly I agree, online has A Lot of problems. But, I did my Census form by mail, there was an option to do it online. My alimony check comes in the mail weekly (control freak from Hell, obviously, the divorce was in 2009) my retirement, SS, tax rebate, & etc get to the bank electronically, and I do not believe there is ever, or Very seldom, any problem with all of this. And, the IRS Processing Centers are all set up to process both mail & electronics already. Even the States (most of them) process taxes similarly. The mechanisms are there & we already have an SS # designating us, just do it!

@AnneWimsey The HUGE difference between the examples you give (and a lot of folks haven't caught-on) is that voting NEEDS anonymity (the others don't have it).

@FearlessFly see my reply above this one......

. . . have you read the articles ? not happening

Providing conclusive evidence for that (inevitable) claim will be HIS problem.
