    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.

      A computer that lands a rocket incorrectly is found out immediately.

      A computer that tallies votes incorrectly may never be found out.

        You do know that the electronic vote counts are audited, right?

        There’s a process to validate that the machines are counting correctly.
