    What’s stopping the abuser from demanding a photo of their filled out ballot? Idk why there’s a huge thread about this hypothetical. Are a certain point you can’t create policy defined by a tiny minority.

      there are signs and staff everywhere ensuring that nobody takes photos of anything

      and even if you could, you can request another ballot paper

      Are a certain point you can’t create policy defined by a tiny minority.

      and that is why we run elections like we do: because this system is secure and you don’t need to validate your ballot paper… when you introduce machines like the US has, that exposes huge flaws that poke holes in a very robust system for little gain

      the tiny minority is validating your individual vote; not abuse and coercion
