SHUT IT DOWN!

Oh no, shut it down!

>Nobody in the US gives a fuck.
Land of the free.

Such a weird argument...

Privacy is your own to give up if you choose to do so. If you want to publicise your vote, then do it.

I guess photos of your vote act as exit polls, and we'll get another case of the vote being something like >20% away from the exit polls, when the margin is usually ~5%

Shut it down!!

I don't see how this would necessarily expose the rigged system. The rigging is probably done electronically, I'd imagine

Skip to 1:05 this guy clearly doesn't even believe his own bullshit.

People aren't being coerced into revealing shit.

But yea that is a very strange argument, that voluntarily putting your ballot on social media will result in your or others being coerced or oppressed in any way. It's voluntary

Bret looks like a mongolian rape-baby, love him though.

Literally every reason that voting is meant to be private, doesn't matter when the voter chooses to publicize their choice.

Besides, democrats already buy out voters with welfare.

I don't know, but having photographic evidence of how you voted, and if the voting was audited/checked, it would be proof of vote tampering thats the only explanation I can think of.

if there is no way to prove who you voted for, you can't coerce/buy people into voting a certain way.

"there is no evidence hurr durr". it is pretty easy to understand this.

Secret ballots are relatively recent and were introduced in 1884 in the U.S., so the "eighteenth century" claim is an outright lie.

Prior to secret ballots, voter participation was around 80% of eligible voters.

Secret ballots were a way for political machines to gain control of government.

Thats irrelevant when the people have the means for privacy if they so choose, yet have the choice to publicly state their vote.

The idea of privacy of the ballot is to ensure nobody could FORCE the publicising of votes, not that someone couldn't tell people their vote.

You may as well try to ban people telling others who they voted for

it's not.
let's say you want to buy a vote. you say to the guy "vote for obama and i'll give you 10k"
he says ok, goes to vote for obama, provides proof he voted for obama and collects 10k.
if he cannot provide proof, no one would buy the vote and take his word on that he voted that way.
thus, if there is no way of getting that proof, no one would try to buy votes.

do you understand?

I'm taking picture of my ballot now

try posting this stuff when 99% of the US is awake and not in the middle of REM sleep.
you'll get more responses.

It's not even midnight in Los Angeles.

Even if that were to happen, photo manipulation of that degree is so trivial that the company would find itself bankrupt pretty damn quick. Secondly, any vote buying on a scale larger than 0.001% of the population would be so easily tracked and prosecuted that its a non issue.

I do get your point, I really do, I just don't think that the consequences mentioned are anywhere near the severity you believe they are.

bump

>there's no evidence that posting pics of your vote online is going to increase vote buying and selling
No, there's no evidence it increases or decreases it, just that it makes it possible, when no pictures makes it impossible. Honestly, I'm a Republican, and I'm not sure how we can give a shit about Dems engaged in voter fraud with illegals and no IDs, etc, and suddenly not care about opening the door to vote buying.

For fucks sake its not even a fucking ballot box anymore its a damn server or hard disk that adds tallys according to what button is pushed.

Its not bad to have privacy, but what's stopping said machine from tossing your vote or changing it?

When did anyone fight & die for the right to vote?
