Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

What do we know? Our Minister of Gerrymandering tells us that referendums are obsolete, so why not in-person voting? After all, there won’t be any ballot boxes to tamper with, right?
What could possibly go wrong?
Online voting systems invite fraud in much the same way an unwatched ballot box would if it were standing next to a pile of empty ballots and freshly sharpened pencils. And there is no way to secure them.
The only way to make these systems auditable is to tie each transaction to a verifiable session id and a corresponding voter identity, which makes the idea of a secret ballot laughable.
Instituting a system like this would mean that you could never be confident that a vote was accurate, or fair, and even worse – proving that it was corrupted or unfair would be nearly impossible – even with an electronic audit trail.
I’ve worked in the software business long enough to be able to say this confidently: The only people who want electronic voting either want to cheat, or to punish people for their vote. It’s that simple.
Somehow … the LEFTISTS in America have convinced the public that “people of color” are being “disenfranchised” from their voting rights … if the government doesn’t pick them up by private taxi service, deliver them to the polls, and personally help them vote in their native language. What utter nonsense. Why doesn’t the LEFT ever teach “personal responsibility” ? … oh never mind … they’re WINNING the argument … and all we need are a few Hillary-appointed Supreme Court Justices … and it’s OVER !
The only people who want electronic voting either want to cheat, or to punish people for their vote. It’s that simple
Exactly!! If it can be corrupted it will be corrupted; there’s too much at stake with these popularity contests for it to be otherwise. Anyone who doesn’t want voter ID and paper ballots is suspect of wanting to game the system to their advantage.
A fraudster’s delight
Why not ask those that have tried it? I suppose though, that once this is in, it will become the settled way of running elections…
“Smartmatic has won over $300 million worth of contracts since 2004, mainly from unaccountable governments of underdeveloped countries, where democratic tenets, such as free and fair elections, transparency and checks and balances are completely and utterly disregarded. In that, it has been tremendously successful. No doubt. But in participating in free and transparent elections, or in opening up to the kind of scrutiny typical of truly democratic nations? Its first success is yet to take place.”

The author, Alek Boyd, has followed corruption in Venezuela for more than 15 years. He has far too much work in front of him.
There have been a number of cases in Venezuela of people voting that are 160 years old, and an extraordinary number of people born on the first of every month.
None of it accountable.
George Soros wants electronic voting so expect this issue to be promoted and eventually imposed by Soros political employees and surrogates all over the western world… corrupting the process, corrupting the system.
I have no problem with the “after dead vote” if I get to lock my vote in … for the next 300 years … like the all the other dead voters.
“The only people who want electronic voting either want to cheat, or to punish people for their vote. It’s that simple.”
Bingo! That is why Soros, as Sean says, and his Marxist friends in Canada and elsewhere would want this form of voting.
every voter registered and every voter checked off against the voter list with proper ID. paper ballots only. it matters not how long a count takes, only that it is accurate.
I don’t understand the government and media’s obsession with getting voter turnout higher. It is currently super easy to vote; the opinions of citizens who can’t bother to get out and vote don’t matter.
We don’t need to make it easier to vote. There are plenty of voters already.
