Re:“A Horrifically Bad Idea”: Smartphone Voting Is Coming by Freak_NL on Wednesday November 07, 2018 @10:36AM (#18399774)
Politicians, political parties, and governments (from local to national).

For some reason the lure of instant results is so great that every year there is some place in the world where electronic voting is once again strongly pushed for, even though none of the arguments against it are suitably addressed.

Is it a mindset thing? A disdain for an analogue process that they deem outmoded? A lack of understanding of the inherent problems with automatization for this particular task? All I know is that it takes a lot of effort to keep elections free from voting machines.

This is a global phenomenon by the way.
