    You know programming to an extent

    That’s just rude lol, you know nothing about my experience. My personal opinion isn’t even super relevant here though; if we look at the professional consensus, they tend to agree.

    I haven’t seen any evidence that you have any understanding of this topic at all. You keep saying we should do it because it would be good-- which it would be-- but wanting something to be easy doesn’t actually make it easy. You say there’s plenty of evidence; SHOW IT then if you’re so confident! I’ll even start, here’s an article by the AAAS with sources: https://www.aaas.org/epi-center/internet-online-voting

      It’s not rude. It’s factual. I don’t need to be a programmer to know it’s applications. I don’t have to be a car engineer to know they transport people and where most go. It’s absolutely egotistical to think you only know what a computer is capable of because you can program.
