DEMS WANT ONLINE VOTING BUT REPUBLICANS DON'T

[Nasty Jack]

At first there was an agreement that online voting was a good thing for both parties until...Republicans did their research. Now they're getting cold feet; Florida is backing out due to "outlandish claims opposing an online registration measure." Texas GOP lawmakers are afraid of fraud; this coming from the party of fraud. But Pew Research found "that 22 states plus the District of Columbia, representing more than half of all eligible voters, will offer the chance to register online for the 2016 election." The hard facts are that blacks and Hispanics, traditionally voting democrat, have more computers and smart phones than they have in the past. Today, 80% of blacks are internet users compared to 83% of Hispanics. It has become clear that Republicans will fight any form of voting that does not favor their party and that illustrates the desperation of the GOP for votes.

1. When more people vote, they lose.

Which is why they want to make it as hard as possible for people- particularly people who tend to vote Democratic- to vote. Undemocratic and antiAmerican as shit. Why do Republicans hate America?

2. Now hold it.

I thought the meme was that we are all supposed to be for paper ballots. That was the only way voting can be "verified". People accuse the machines of being hacked every time there is a lost election. Now voting online??? When every computer can be hacked??? Whose bright idea is this?

3. I don't know if this is sarcasm...

But yeah, I don't like it. It should not be able to be manipulated without physical evidence

4. Not sarcasm from me.

I think online voting is nuts.

8. The article is about registering to vote.

The OP refers to a blog post who is commenting on the above MSNBC article talking about Republicans getting cold feet about the idea of having online voting registration. It's not about actual voting online. Though if there was a way to have a cast iron online voting system, I'm sure that Republicans wouldn't support the measure.

5. no.too easily hacked.

Netherlands studied this and if they feel it's insecure I believe them.

6. It's hard for me to get behind this.

I don't see how this will ever be verified as secure enough.

7. Misleading headline

Neither party is proposing online voting...this is about online registration.

9. The Harris county GOP killed on line voter registration in Texas

10. Pew is talking about voter registration, not online voting, big difference.

Democrats are not in favor of e-voting sans paper trail. Sorry.
