>Does the public demand same day results? If we're tapped into the psyche of the public and able to channel the public's collective mind, the public also demands unhackable results, so there's that.
Well clearly they don't since there hasn't been any urgency in this issue.
But despite the fact that you are operating in a bubble and there is only a small cadre of activists many states have in fact changed course and have moved to a compromise: DRE with Paper audit. Is this enough? Well probably not, they should add risk limiting audits as well.
>You can't hack an paper. The public also demands that people stop declaring what it does and does not demand.

Some of this push was based on unfounded theories that fraudsters could manipulate voting systems and rig results for Democrats, once they had seen how many GOP votes had been returned early.
Experts had also warned that such a last-minute crush of ballots could end up creating delays that can ultimately be used by a bad actor to undermine confidence in the election. But there were indications that many GOP voters had heeded that call — the volume of mail-in ballots dropped off on Election Day far surpassed previous years in some counties — which Lake and other Republicans saw as reason to be confident the later ballots would break their way."
>I personally think the way to deal with this hacker that goes by the handle DEFCON who is coming for the elections is to bring in an even more powerful hacker, yes, I speak of the hacker known as "4chan"
