   @darulharb Since the election of president is union-wide, couldn't the govt set rules for that? Strict ID law. No voting machines etc. (I guess D.C. cannot set hard rules for local and state elections)

     @inscius I can't see the context, but I believe there was a USA federal law after the 2000 election (extremely close, with many voters in Florida saying they were confused by "butterfly ballots" and lots of controversy about the resulting recounts) that helped bring voting machines to most of the nation.

     @lnxw37j1 There was a commission in 2005 headed by Jimmy carter that suggested many safety measures for elections, but not sure if it got better or worse. Voting machines is a ridiculous contraption. Esp the electronic ones. Not sure how many countries even allow them.
