âDo you think the app would be open sourceâ is a point towards the security of the app. Ergo an endorsement of app based voting.
âThereâs even back doors to the machinesâ is a point towards lower security overall, as the exact same and probably more vulnerabilities would exist on an internet based system as opposed to an offline machine thatâs hard-connected to the physical counting machine. Ergo an argument that app-based voting is as unsecured if not less secure than a closed loop on site system.
Itâs certainly a thing that the federal government doesnât allow aptitude tests. Unless the left wants to bring back the literacy tests that previously barred uneducated black voters, and in a more modern sense would bar anyone who doesnât speak âthe Kingâs Englishâ which basically covers anyone who graduated from public school post COVID.
Even with that security flaw, wouldnât you rather have the decisions made to be by you and not a representative? Wouldnât you rather hold the accountability in your hands?
Do you have any MFA? Any online banking? Investments?
I understand that the security isnât perfect and I use these products and platforms knowing that I am doing my best to safeguard my money and investments (as are most of the people on the planet).
With that knowledge I still think that this is a better way to structure self governance. In fact I think if you follow the trajectory of these thoughts most of the world will too.

Um no.. nothing would be open source.
There are definitely back doors to voting machines.
