Hillary has taken many votes via e-vote, and hasn't changed her mind about the e-vote as far as I know. I'm a little confused about someone wanting to be a champion for the 99% while advocating an action that will likely result in votes being stolen by the rich e-vote machine owners.
Is the e-vote not a bad thing? Or is it just not a big deal?

(13,685 posts)The paper ballots were finally recounted and found Gore won. The election was stolen via the crooks imbedded in the election's system. And SCOTUS.
Then the crooks who stole the election put in place the e-vote across the country. Then the 2004 election was stolen using the e-vote.
Basically freepers own and program the e-vote machines, and we can't even regulate the freepers enough to stop global warming.
There is one way it can be made safe and that is for the government to own and program the machines using and open code, but then the crooks will be sidelined and lose power, so don't ever expect that to happen.

In 2014, about 70% of Americans used good, old fashioned paper ballots because of lack of money to repair the machines.

But I don't see the machine she used cast her vote to be an issue.
Those people who have issues with her, Republicans and Progressives, are concerned with votes cast as a Senator. I don't think anyone is saying that the Senates vote system has been hacked.
