Should we be able to vote by phone?

[Doug.Helvering]

If I can bank and pay taxes on my phone, I should be able to vote with it.

There are many people who are smart phone challenged or can't afford one or only one per family???

[jamesashby]

A question you should have asked re: voting by phone
What sort of local infrastructure would be required (new equipment, new employees); how much would it cost; how can we be sure the local implementations would be reliable

[MJ-rmth]

As another avenue to vote - absolutely.

[Lsimpkins]

Old school, everyone go to the ballot and vote.

As far as door knocking, I used to do it but only in my own neighborhood back in the 70's. Now, the door knockers can be from anywhere and it is not expected. Most people do not answer doors anymore. Last time I did answer an unknown knocker, it was in the 90s and it was someone who was looking to get in my house and I had to slam the door fast and call the cops.

I read Freakeconomics decades ago, and they can tell so much by a name. I’m not includes discrimination about them.

Some day, but I fear errors, losing anonymity who voted for, then no paper trail. The amount of conspiracy would be scary

Michael...can you do a deep dive into the playbook of DJT. When Colin Kapernick took a knee it was his "Ruby Bridges" moment -- a form on nonviolent protest. We need to have the hard conversation on racism and brutality. DJT threw him under that bus and boycotted football. I have male friends who had strong sentimental attachments to football since childhood give it up for a man they never met! My son in law was playing in the NFL at the time, and I witnessed from the inside those unspoken conversations that needed the light of day. This country just cannot seem to have the needed hard conversations. We then had George Floyd and so many more -- how many lives could have been saved had DJT acted with true leadership? Now it's Haitians -- same play from same playbook. Put masking tape over the hard conversation around the complexities and context of immigration. Have fun at their expense and get so much airtime. Springfield was in decline, those immigrants came to work. Of course the resources got strained -- those are normal growing pains. It's all too easy to use them as scapegoats and keep immigration top of mind as you shared recently. Please be a voice for the necessary hard conversation around immigration reform -- done humanely.

Confidentiality and anonymity is critical to protect! And Hacking systems and other security breach possibilities- all too messy and set for conspiracy central!! No!!

[padrigderoiste]

No! It all depends on your phone and how up to date your os is on the phone. I still feel that there are to many ways to gain access to your phone, computer or other device

[TheRonellCross]

It would have to be on a secure verified app like WhatsApp or something better. If you can bank online, voting should be easy AF!

[deborahsolomon]

Oh please, now we have to worry about someone hating us because of our names.

Phones can easily be hacked. Paper cannot. You need paper, electronic only systems can easily be hacked.
