Wow. I actually agree with Elon Musk about something for once, what a shock!

Tom Scott has a very good video explaining why electronic voting is terrible all around and it will probably never be secure.

That's loads of BS. Manual in person voting is easily scammed, just look at voting in Russia. Fuck this shit, everything should be 100% digital.

Not just digital but trustless decentralised blockchain based so it's impossibly hard to manipulate
