The U.S. – a beacon of democracy, and an example to be followed by the rest of the world. One big source of pride is its’ fundamental concept of free and fair elections.
“American elections are a disgrace. It’s like looking into a kitchen of a world-class restaurant and losing your appetite at what you see, because we have an election system, a voting system that is completely non-transparent,” said Mark Crispin Miller, Professor at NYU and author of “Fooled Again, How the Right Stole the 2004 Elections.”
This is an opinion shared by many political experts and educators.
“If you were to hand your vote to a man in a magician’s suit who then went behind a curtain and came out having first shredded the ballots, to tell you who won – would you trust that process?” said the co-founder and director of the Election Defense Alliance Jonathan, Simon.
The process largely to blame is the out-dated electronic voting system.
“In the states where all they have is electronic voting – it could be a real problem. If you don’t have some kind of back up source to verify the vote count – it could be a problem,”said Jeanne Mirer of the National Lawyers Guild.
This is outrageous! I mean if hackers can do it, then what about peoplewhohave a vested interest in the election? Our elections will be one big hacker battle… Is America not america anymore? ~Ophelia
