Lol yeah who is the OP, my mom? Sounds like a parent trying to get their kid to eat something. (Seriously though, texture of food matters)

Yeah you're right, I've been grinding like crazy (having as many offspring as possible)

Just as an aside, when you started your post with "wow, such ..." I thought your were talking like a doge meme

Hi @[email protected] I'm having a similar issue, and I know I did verify my email. I was able to log in the first time (so I'm signed in on my phone) and was able to sign in using jerboa, but can't get in using either Firefox or Chrome on either Linux or Windows. Any ideas? Thanks for all your work here!

I'm sure someone more knowledgeable can comment, but my understanding is that the street address data is often incomplete. Is that what you mean, like it knows where a town is, but can't put you at a specific address in that town?

Thanks for sharing that, news to me at least.

You're right, they can't. That said, how can they verify some local official hasn't taken a pay off to fudge some numbers? The public believing election results requires multiple processes each being as transparent as possible, and even then, it comes down to trust, and some people just won't believe the results. We should design systems that are as robust and transparent as possible, and an open source machine that counts physically marked ballots is only one component.

I've played this a bunch and like it.

I think this is closer to the real answer than the comments about "so and so will still complain." That said, does anyone know if there is any companies making open source machines? Cause if not, there's our primary reason why elections don't use them.

Open source voting machines (that scan marked physical ballots) have an actual benefit to real people, they're not just a talking point in a tv debate. Whether or not qanon people squawk (they will) it's important that our votes are actually counted correctly, and that we can explain/prove how to reasonable people.

Electronic voting could use open source software, but so can a machine that scans a marked ballot. The best practice is to have voters mark a physical ballot, then have them put it in a machine (running open source software) that scans and tabulates the results. If there's a question about the integrity of the results, we can go back and count physical ballots.

@rockslice addressed this in another comment - you use signing certificates to verify it's the correct code, which is a widely accepted method.
