Module 12

    When dealing with any kind of vote system I think that there will aways be a margin for error, especially when we are counting billions of votes and not using one method in doing so. We currently have two ways people usually vote, mail in ballots and going to an election polling place. Both whom which have a lot of room and possibly for fraud. When president Trump won the election he was said to have cheated by using Russias hacking systems to change the votes electronically. This whether it was true to false brings to light a form of cheating that is very possible because of the use of technology. So that in itself already proves a deficiency in the United States electoral process, which one would be justified in questioning. But in the event that Trump did successfully cheat his way into the presidency then it would again make sense that he would be so fearful of it happening when it is not in his favor. 

    Along with that, mail in ballots don't sound too safe either. My mail has gotten lost or stolen several times even when I put emphasis on over night sighing with a sign of delivery. It is because this system isn't always trusted in the day to day that one can be fearful when having to trust it when the stakes are higher. I think that because this voting system that we have is very uncertain and can be tampered with that we obviously need to devise a new way of executing this process. Not only that, but I think the flaws in this process mirror the greater problems in the nation.
