Electronic voting systems should never have been built . I respectfully disagree . Electronic voting is the future . The problem here is closed source , private machines that have no verifiable trail made by companies that have an agenda andor ties to political figuresparty . It ' s been proven over and over again that it can be made securely , open source as all government code should be and provable . There ' s just a lack of will to fix it . I believe this is a transition period and we will move into a complete electronic voting system that will work and be secure . At least in some modern countries . I say code , not necessarily data . <| sep |> Probably region or something like that . <| sep |> They aren ' t allowed to , but they can try anyway . If you want to hide one f the only 10 in store items you ' ll caught for sure . Items like Fitbit that are behind a locked case are also locked up in the back and inventoried . But things that are not locked up or limited to a tiny number could be hidden or held back . You have to find a place that your fellow wage slaves won ' t think to look in as well .
