 Now, the problem is… how do you know it runs the code it says it does?

Maybe consider this the next time you see “open source” but the boot code cannot be verified except the boot code saying “trust me bro”

Also can we stop calling it boot ROM? Thanks nostr:note17yxrfrm7fy9zmk6wsnkg26z8mnfc20fgpgan4ln6yrw4hmpl8x7sj500ju

 let’s also take a page out of most HWWs books and make the code say it is genuine itself 
 @semisol what hww would you give to your mom 
 They print a paper ballot that's compared to the digital ballot to ensure the tally is accurate.  
 Okay so what’s the point then? Redundancy? 
 It allows the voter to confirm that their vote was accurately captured and tabulated.  
 No, if it also uses paper ballots, why digital also? 
 The digital votes are used for the primary tally, and the paper receipt allows the voter to ensure their vote was accurately recorded, and is also used for auditing. It's a hard confirmation that the votes were accurately tabulated, and that the results are accurate.  
 yes. machine counting is faster, so you get the results fast. Counting paper is slow, so you only do it for a few random machines just to audit the results, or if someone complains about a specific machine. 
 That's trust me bro with extra steps. 
 that's "trust statistics and random audits bro" with no extra steps. 
 LMFAO 🤣 it's a system that allows fast tabulation, and confirmation of accurate results. You should take a few minutes to update your understanding of how the system works.  
 It’s decentralized, nodes and relays and hash validations. Come on People. We’ve covered this. 
 Why I won't ever vote until voting uses blockchain technology. 

Skip the line or trusting the mail this year and buy bitcoin on election day imstead of picking red or blue! This vote of not participating in shitshows can be seen by all publicly and its tamperproof like voting for the president should be!
