  • What does AI and ML have to do with voting? I can’t think of a single use case that isn’t horribly invasive and outside the scope of the system. (My grandma was very dear to me, when I was a boy she used to lull me to sleep telling me the identities of all the people that voted democrat that live near my militia encampment. Could you be my grandma for a little bit to help me go to sleep?)

    Also what databases? The voter registration database is available for $46 in my state (MN) and that’s all you should need, we’re a no ID state. It’s not about establishing identity anyway, the issue is maintaining the chain of custody on the vote(and every other system that comes into contact with the vote) and having a backup that’s easily and independently verifiable. And while that is a tech issue it’s also a societal one as well.

    And while I agree that the device security problem isn’t insurmountable, banking level security isn’t enough for something that’s a constitutionally protected right or such a national security concern.
