    and then the coercion is simply you give me your number or i hurt you

    there is no way that you can make a system where you are able to validate your vote after the fact, and also is safe from coercion

      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

          Except without self validation you potentially run into tallya being tweaked. Let’s follow the lawsuit, if it turns out tampering happened then what? Saying we can’t introduce measures because of rare domestic abuse issues is silly. Full stop. And I don’t really care to discuss this first with you. It’s starting to feel like you’re on a mission to AstroTurf.
