The 1960 John F. Kennedy vs. Richard Nixon election is widely acknowledged to have been rigged
There have been no changes in the law to prevent exactly the same thing from happening now and there are no efforts to determine if it still happening.
That sounds like the argument about immigration reform vs border security.
A completely secure system from the point of the ballot being cast to the point it is tallied is useless if you don't know who is casting the ballots if they are entitled to do so.
Key elements are to verify those casting the ballots are entitled to do so and then ensuring that the number of ballots showing up to be counted = the number of people who registered and cast ballots.
Many, many times the number of votes in a precinct out number the registered voters.
Also, rigorous and accountable chain of custody procedures for every step...
In the olden days of IBM JCL, every step in a job was verified with control file counts from the previous step.
I would never pilot a plane without a physical connection, wires or hydraulics.
But I'm not an airline pilot nor can I afford any plane that doesn't have wires, let alone a fly by wire system.
But at some point a decision will need to be made...do we have pilots or do we have cockpit managers?
Fly by wire is probably unavoidable in the future, but I think that every airliner will need a mode that provides a direct link to the control surfaces without a computer making decisions and overriding input.
The Ethiopian Airlines plane that crashed killing 157 people was making a strange rattling noise and trailed smoke and debris as it swerved above a field of panicked cows before hitting earth, according to witnesses.
Doesn't sound like a software problem to me. At least not any I've ever run across.
The real question is, how did they know the cows were panicked?
Hell, even musicians have to dial back the "listening" part in order to concentrate on playing the part. If you get too caught up in the piece, you will miss entrances, etc.

If you allow someone to film you having sex, you are either stupid or a porn star.
You SAY it's not a problem.
But since no one wants to compare roles, check for fraudulent absentee ballots, etc, we don't really know, do we?
It's like closing your eyes and repeating lalalalalalala until the T-Rex snatches you up off the toilet and eats you.
Voting by mail has no Chain of Custody controls. None.
You drop the envelope in the mail and it's open season on fraud from that point on.

No one was removed from any roles and no one was disenfranchised. the list was merely intended to be the basis for investigations.
Illegal Aliens are not Citizens
The anonymous nature of the ballot means that discovering fraud after the fact is nearly impossible.
Nope, not a problem at all

I always get my computers from Home Depot.
Online voting is folly. Even mail in voting lacks adequate chain of custody policies.

Computers should never have the last say in flying an airliner.
We've replicated 1960s technology!

"Activists" Investors is a loaded term that leads you to think of SJW idiots wanting some kind of SJW actions.
What it appears to be is simply investors suggesting that eBay focus on its core business and ditch distractions.
The eBay site is old, out dated, confusing and cluttered.
