    “The last thing I would do is trust a computer program,” says the owner of a car company developing self driving & rocket company building automation into rocket launches.

      To be fair, I wouldn’t trust a computer program for voting either, but I would trust and ride in an autonomously landing rocket.

      Which is why I much prefer the scantron type fill in the bubble ballots, you get a full digital count with an easily cross referenced ballot.

        So you fully trust computers that can kill you and others without a thought, but you don’t trust a computer to do the insanely simpler task of “count paper?”

        Also, musk and all the other disingenuous shitheads are complaining about any digital counting, including your preferred scantron ballots. They want very slow, flaw ridden human counting only, so they can inject chaos and noise into the electorial system and force the “congress picks the president” process in our constitution that will always favor the GOP.

        Paper ballots are already used in 98% of all US elections, they are just counted digitally. These are not serious people with serious concerns.

      not to mention brain chips. Remember, every accusation is a confession with the MAGA crowd. I bet we’d find a few gems in the code for tesla and twitter now
