    Couldn’t we just vote by phone now? It’s just a suggestion anyway… I mean, our vote is just a suggestion, not actually a vote. I vote Biden because the guy is not crazy. But could we also get started on looking for a person younger than 30 to be president? Maybe a woman?

        That’s a rule that should stay. They are literally no qualified candidates under 35. There are barely any qualified candidates over 35! There needs to be an upper limit though. At 70 IRAs force you to take withdrawals; it should be the same for the president.

        Yeah okay fine. But I agree with the guy below, an upper limit should happen. Something like 50 or 60 years old.

      Younger than 30? No thanks. Younger than 50, yes please.

      As someone with decades of experience in the tech industry we should stay as far away from electronic voting as possible. I know the sort of people who work on government systems and do not trust them or their code.

      It’s less than 200 million votes, being counted and recounted in parallel by people all over the country. The problem of scale isn’t big enough to justify the security risks. I’m willing to wait a week to make sure the count is accurate and true with paper ballots.

      Every time you get a spam call that has spoofed “From” information, from now on, I want you to think about how stupid voting by phone would be.
