Topic: Internet Voting

The current mail-in ballot system is characterized as a "fiasco" that will be used to justify a transition to internet-based or blockchain voting. While blockchain offers an open ledger, concerns are raised about the potential for coercion and tech company manipulation of digital votes. Reference is made to Dr. Robert Epstein's congressional testimony regarding the influence of search engines on voter behavior.

President Obama advocated for making it "easier to vote" by modernizing the system for the way people live now. Analysts interpret this as a push toward online or internet-based voting. Critics warn that moving to digital voting systems presents significant security risks and has not been sufficiently debated in the public sphere.

Hillary Clinton's recent speeches in Texas calling for universal voter registration are interpreted by the hosts as a prelude to a push for internet voting. They express concern that online voting would be highly susceptible to corruption and lack the security of traditional paper ballots. They also debate the merits of early voting versus a single election day.
