That's nonsense. Having a cellphone != understanding the technology and how it works. People don't get this stuff, and something as fundamental as your civil liberties should not be predicated on a black box no one person can understand. Re: ballot lobby: If there's any paper ballot lobby it's HP - when I've voted it was on ballots printed by a traditional office printer/Xerox. You don't need bizarre forms and crank levers to make a ballot, just a piece of paper and a marking device. |

That wasn't the assertion made, nor related directly to the assertion I responded to. Having an understanding of "how it works" is a weak way of couching a ton of assumptions without explaining what you mean. There's no point in trying to argue about what's in your head.
The statement I take issue with is:
> Are computerized elections understandable to laypersons?
Yes. How they work at a cursory level of practical operation and effect, is less sophisticated than any cellphone since flip-phones.
