Is New York City Ready For Digital Voting? 93
Daniel_Stuckey writes "Turnout for local elections in New York City was 33.7 percent in 2010, according to Fair Vote. And while some apps and startups are looking to resurrect turnouts in future elections, most candidates still couldn't tell you how they work or why they might be necessary. Benjamin Kallos is a candidate for New York City Council's fifth district, which includes the Upper East Side and Roosevelt Island, and has his sights on modernizing the electoral process. He's campaigning on a high-tech platform that he says aims to deepen technology's role in promoting transparency, inclusion, and accountability within pockets of New York City's voting pool that remain largely disengaged."
This question is just silly (Score:3, Funny)
Most Americans are barely capable of making an informed vote, much less being "ready for digital voting".
That's why we're $17 trillion in debt and running a massive defecit.

I keep seeing many Americans complaining online how their government keeps ruining their country. I wonder if many of those complainers actually voted seeing that turnout percentage. Are the complainers just silent minority? Do majority of Americans actually love how things are or why don't they go to vote? And those who vote, why they always vote the same shit with a different arsehole?
