There are plenty of high tech jobs here, you just need the education for them. They tent to be better paying longer lasting then the type of job you are talking about which are tempoary (1-2 weeks) to count election results.
Awesome.
That's a lie and no where near what I said.
I agree, punch ballots didn't work very well. Neither would the idea of hundreds of millions of voters writing by hand their candidates name in and then having 10's of thousands of people count them on a national scale.
So your solution is to reduce human error on the count of the voter by introducing more humans into the system my asking humans to decypher what a human wrote?
That makes no sense.
I didn't say it's foolproof. Please don't try to put words in my mouth, it makes you look weak.
I said comparatively that hand written ballots would be the least foolproof, above them are punch ballots, and above them are bubble ballots. That is not saying bubble ballots are foolproof - just better then the two options you present.
You didn't ask what I would like, you asked what I foresaw in the future.
A hundred years from now my grandchildren's, grandchildren will have a much different view of the mature information age then those of use who saw it's first beginnings.
Again, please don't lie. I didn't say that bubble ballots were foolproof, it said they were better than the two alternatives we've been talking about which are punch ballots and the idea that hundreds of millions of voters should be writing in the names of their candidate then requiring the inject of 10's of thousands more humans into the system to hand interpret the "voters intent" from the ballot.

So we are back you hating on job creation, again. If you're gonna flip flop go take gymnastics.
I didn't flip-flop nor did I anywhere indicate that I had job creation, I said I prefer to create long term higher paying jobs as opposed to temporary jobs where people are hired for 3-4 days ever two to four years.
Over a 4 year Presidential cycle would you prefer job creation where people 260 days per year (2080 hrs per year / 8 hours per day) verses 6-8 days out of 1460 days (4 year cycle).
Clearly having hand counted ballots does two POSITIVE things, that your Bubble Scanning idea doesnt:
1. Cuts down tremendously on voter fraud
2. Creates jobs regardless of how long they last. that's still a damn check.
It's not "my bubble scanning idea", it the most common form of voting currently used.
Hand counting v. machine ballots had nothing to do with the person casting the ballot and wouldn't be relevant in terms of voter fraud. What hand counting each and every ballot with a hand-written candidates would do would introduce 10's of thousands unskilled, low pay, temporary employees into the equation and I would predict the number of votes miscounted would skyrocket.
Everybody doesn't have the schooling to get a high tech job your crying about. that's part of the problem. displacing people who don't have high education that obviously can be put to work at this time of year, at the very least. and make good money at it. better than nothing.
Psst - those jobs are already there because most voting is done already via machine readable ballot. What you propose, by mandating that all voting be done by write-in ballot, would mean the loss of more manufacturing jobs and the jobs for the people that currently maintain those system replacing these solid, long term jobs with jobs where people gett paid for 6-8 days out of ever 4 years.
I must say though that the idea of employing people 6-8 days in a minimum wage job every for years and calling it "making good money" is a pretty liberal position.
You're not thinking it through.
