No, it's not a security issue. There is no correlation between electronic balloting and supposed anomalies. A number of competent scientists have proven this conclusively. Why we are still even talking about it is a mystery.
Let me see if I have this right, as this could well be a computer security issue (the reported discrepancies between the exit polls and the actual vote, with an interesting correlation to the actual vote-recording box used in that area).
Or doesn't the statistical bell-curve work here?No, it doesn't.
The entire thing. We *do* vote for the leader we want. Just read the Federalist Papers if you want to understand how the American political system works and why it's designed the way that it is.You don't vote for your beloved leader (as they do in some places). You don't even vote for your beloved party (as they do in Britain and Australia, the former being where I was born and the latter being where I live).
Instead, you vote for a bunch of people who will vote on your behalf, usually by ignoring the popular vote and casting it 100% for their party.
What did I miss?
