Many still have notable gaps in voter verification - for example, the ballots are tallied by reading a printed QR code, which the voter has no means to verify. So close to voter-verifiable, yet not voter-verifiable.

In addition, polling places are often bottlenecked by the limited number of expensive machines, which local precincts have no power to remedy - especially in dense urban areas.

I have to wonder why bubble (scantron) forms, which are simple, cheap, low-infrastructure, and present vastly less software surface area (they can be counted by an array of photosensors and discrete flip-flop registers) were not the preferred choice. And, it’s always possible to have a touchscreen machine which prints a filled bubble form - which the voter can actually verify.

The S&P 500 has increased 2100% since 1993.

What do you think? Do you have an investment account?

Anyone with a retirement plan benefits from it, which, according to census.gov, is at least half of the population over age 24. You should open one - it’s easy!

Apathy/“checking out” is an intended consequence of amped-up propaganda. In Russia, it’s deployed so the “ruling elite” have even less oversight.

To make things better, you have to help steer - saying you’re not going to participate unless everything is perfect nullifies your impact.

And, to be sure, “burning it down” will almost certainly not result in things aligning to your moral stance - opportunistic, evil actors thrive in chaos.

If you would have voted for Biden, and you’re choosing not to vote or you vote third-party, you are effectively voting for Trump. That’s the worse choice, ethically.

You are not giving a rational argument - you are describing a course of action that will result in the less moral outcome.

Biden is not exactly “rich”, with a total net worth of about $10 million, mostly due to two homes he’s owned for decades. He and his wife’s AGI is about $580,000 - in line with an upper middle class doctor or lawyer.

Regarding Palestine, Biden is undeniably the better choice when it comes to supporting Palestinians. It’s not hard to imagine what Trump would have done given his sentiment that Israel should “finish the job”.

The only reason they want them out is because AM radios reveal the amount of radio spectrum pollution the vehicle electronics are spewing out.

Solution is for the automaker to spend a few bucks on RFI filtering for LED drivers, etc.
