holy fucking cringe <| sep |> There are questions and anomalous statistics in every major election . 2000 , 2004 , 2008 , 2012 . We lack the collective political willpower to do anything about it . Every time more stories like this appear and people start talking about possible improvements in the voting process , others wade in with replies that paper ballots are the gold standard because technology is scary and untrustworthy . Every discussion goes that way . The conversation becomes paralyzed , nothing changes and two years later , we go through the same thing again when more stories arise about the corruptible voting process . <| sep |> Link To Original Submission I Am A Bot .
