It's that simple. Just a No.

The moment there is even a possibility for a vote to be monitored and/or identified, you have a broken system.
The moment there is even a possibility for a vote to be tampered with, there is no vote.

Voting hinges on the anonymity of the caster, and the transparency and trust in the process. Electronic voting, either on machines or on the internet gives you neither.

Comment Blurry (Score 5, Insightful) 412

As usual for anything "identified as UFO's" the object is blurry, suggesting the "object" was outside the field of depth, which does seem to be pretty deep as it includes infinity as well as a good amount of the station outside the window.

They certainly wouldn't ever have considered Airbus, the GOP and the public would have slaughtered whomever made the decision to buy non-American, regardless of the benefits the alternatives might have had. That plane is as much an ambassador for the US, as the passengers flying on it.
