Summary

Secretary of State Marco Rubio grew visibly frustrated during an ABC News interview when questioned about the Trump administrationā€™s approach to Russia.

Defending Trumpā€™s push for peace talks with Putin, Rubio insisted negotiations were necessary but admitted the administration didnā€™t know Russiaā€™s demands.

He clashed with host George Stephanopoulos over Trumpā€™s refusal to call Putin a dictator and the U.S. siding with Russia in a recent UN vote.

Rubio also compared Trumpā€™s handling of Ukraine to Bidenā€™s approach to Israel, further escalating tensions.

      I do not trust techbros to solve this correctly. It would be far too easy and tempting to game the system.

      Any political system needs to be able to function separate from electronic devices as there are times when the grid fails.

        I agree that you canā€™t blindly give someone else control over such things, it would need to be run out of gov offices with people beholden to transparency for the public and not to which ever contractor they bid.

        On the offline issue, I can see your point as valid, I just donā€™t think itā€™s impossible, CA still does paper voting through a scantron, millions of votes can be processed with paper, thereā€™s certainly ways of getting it done in my opinion.
