An Election Redesign to Restore Trust in US Democracy | Tiana Epps-Johnson | TED
Election infrastructure in the United States is crumbling, says technologist Tiana Epps-Johnson, and, even worse, election officials are increasingly being attacked simply for doing their jobs. How can the country rebuild trust in its local and national elections? Epps-Johnson describes how the US Alliance for Election Excellence, a nonpartisan collaborative of election officials, technologists, designers…

Maybe allow the ministry of truth to manage the election process.
Then they can ensure it is free of Russian misinformation.

The government investigated itself and found the most contested election was the most secure. Lies to counter lies. Three things that can make elections better:
1) Mail in voting by default like we have here in Oregon, to increase accessibility
2) State voter ID of some kind to reduce (allegations of) voter fraud
3) Open source poll software so we don’t have to take the governments word that it’s safe and secure
Bonus: Attach the election stuff to the post office

That’s all I hear is “democracy” “threat to democracy” stop this nonsense! We don’t live in a democracy, and we’re fortunate to not live in a society with mob rule (which in it’s essence is true democracy). We live in a constitutional republic 🙄. This is a deliberate and sly twisting of word’s to confuse and mislead the American people into thinking something that it’s not. So please do not fall for it my friends. Do your own due diligence, question everything and everyone. Be a independent critical thinker. Do not feed into the divide and conquer tactics and agenda of left/right, team coke or team Pepsi, Democrat or Republican, bloods vs cribs. Get out of that divisiveness mindset. Defend, even your political so called “enemy” when their individual rights and civil liberties are violated. Both major parties are corrupt, rob and steal from the American people through taxation (which is theft for the record) and constantly use tragedies and current events to errode your constitutionally protected rights.

I can’t even think where to begin, but…
Citizens United slapped a gigantic “For Sale” sign on U.S. democracy & not surprisingly it continues to be purchased at every opportunity.. Politicians of both stripes seem loath to get rid of the bidders lest they lose their own seat at the trough. It doesn’t seem to actually matter who gets elected, the problem is systemic. Yay for better voting systems but, to what end?
Seems to me the only real solution now is for the citizenry to literally buy democracy back – outbid the corporations that fund the lobbyists that slop the trough.
Sadly, with the serious divides in the electorate finding enough cohesive crowd-sourcing effort to make that happen seems a remote possibility. How convenient for the “Big [insert special interest name]” spenders.
It’s ironic to me that this talk seems to have been in Vancouver, Canada, a country where so far at least, despite some increasingly extreme right political positions, the election systems are generally well respected, accurate and even relatively speedy with results. With some loud but mostly irrelevant exceptions, Canadians in general don’t yet seem to be of the option that their personal “freedoms” Trump their responsibility to the society that provides those freedoms.
How one fixes *that in America I have no idea but I seriously doubt it will be through bucking up electoral officials & systems.

The United States of America is not a democracy. Fact (source: US Constitution, article 4, section 4) Nowhere in the US Constitution will you find the word, ‘democracy’. I honestly believe those of you on the ‘left’ are unstable characters. You want to abolish the ‘electoral college’? You don’t even know where it came from! The Founding Fathers used the bible to frame the US Constitution in 1789. In my opinion Tiana Epps-Johnson is being disingenuous (misleading with her opinion) by merely questioning the Election infrastructure. I don’t believe in open borders, and I value our Military personnel who protect and guard us all against those who would harm us for the very freedoms we take for granted apparently. Outsourcing election software (Dominion Software)? Why? We in the United States have the most creative minds developing software that will revolutionize the industrial era as you know it. Those of you on the left, want to outsource creativity in this great country. Why? Any Freemasons in the house?

First we need governments that act on behalf of the people, not on behalf of big tech, big pharma, energy and military. Until we have that, it doesn’t matter who you elect, because every decision they make is based on keep the public obedient, while making the 1% richer. That’s why there is zero trust.

First off, you can’t make a paranoid person trust whatever he or she is paranoid about. Epps-Johnson is right that it’s completely rediculous that in America 2022 there’s still no state of the art 99 percent secure voting technology in place. It’s a matter of political will. Some factions don’t want a near perfect voting system, because it doesn’t suit their goal. Wink, wink. Say no more….
Also, assholes who send death threats or any other unwanted threats to election officials should be hunted down (ask Elon Musk for help) and face a minimum of five years in jail for every threat they’ve made. Also, a mayor point of attention has to be voter suppression. Together with state of the art voting technology there has to be also technology for identification and means to have ones vote cast, in person or through the support of a third person or a secure voting app. Accessibility is a must. If this is a mission impossible America isn’t the country it claims to be.

She didn’t post any answers to the problem, all she did was to tell us that the election system was broke, went on and on to give examples about it, like the county using 1900s tech held with ducktape, then she does a 180 and tells us that 2020 was the most secure and best election ever, then she throws feelings and talks about crying with her friend the election official!!?!?!?!! WHAT THE HECK! Where is your solutions to the problem, you self defined election specialist! I call this a fail! She is a fail! This whole video is a fail! TedEd is so disappointing! Used to be that TedEd brought people with foresight and solutions to problems, now all we get is this one sided bias views! 😒

The need for total transparency and oversight. There should be no reason to hide counting or keep it 50 ft away behind a barrier from preapproved representatives from both parties. And there is no embarrassment from learning from other western countries who never have election integrity issues. Oh, and I like that there is no central election system since that would lead to even more doubt and possibility for mayhem on a wider scale.
