University Developing Technology To Vote On Your Tablet, Smartphone
smitty_one_each writes in with this story about a professor developing a new electronic voting system. "A Clemson University professor is developing a new electronic voting system that will allow voters to cast their ballots from home computers, tablets and smartphones. As Clemson's chair of human-centered computing, Juan Gilbert has lead teams of students over the last 10 years to create an online voting system accessible at home or on the go that will be more accurate, have increased verification and make voting more accessible to people with disabilities by offering mobile and voice-command options."
Wow.. Just wow. I understand your need to post AC after all that. Smart does not equal intelligence. They are not the same things. Intelligence is the ability to learn new things and concepts and smart is the ability to use or apply what you already learned. Answering a comment about someone or something being smart with a post about intelligence is the opposite of smart.
And for your attempt to link racism with voter ID laws, you fail big time there too. Unless you can show that voter ID is racists in that somehow minorities are not capable of getting IDs or something and the republicans know this, all you are doing is mud slinging in hopes that it distracts enough from the issue presented that your concept wins out. I don't even think it qualifies as a straw man tactic either because it relies on a complete fallacy that you failed to connect to the concept presented in order to exaggerate the concept out. In short, you just applied the equivalent of "nuh uh, your mean so I win". This is something I would say lacks both intelligence and smarts.
