Is hacking bank accounts a problem in the US?
Why don’t you ask Chase ?

No issue with Chase accounts besides them keep getting closed.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

Chase went through a massive hack not long ago. Not interested in finding out 2 months after an election that there was a massive attack.

It makes no difference, they got in. First the banks claim it’s not that bad, then later on they admit it was far more serious.

Many hackers don’t do it for the money. They do it for the challenge or the thrill. You can google the various hacks over the years to see the carnage they’ve caused to many.

This is true, but many do it for the money and AFAIK have failed.
I am going to bet it is easier to hack a voting machine.

They’ve hacked many government institutions & it would be the ultimate thrill to postpone or even need to redo an election.

How about hacking a 2 billion lottery that you can pick numbers online?  :)

Vote is weighted based one's share of the tax burden.

This is a very old idea in the US dating as far back as the Federalist papers.

It has been proposed that allowing voters unlimited votes with an increased price for each additional vote would be very effective.

Quotes in a signature is annoying, as it comes across as an independent post.

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

or the 50ish severley autistic person I know.
Is this a thing in the states? I guess theoreticaly family members could register and absentee vote for any developmentaly disabled relative they have?

This isn't about PC it is about common decency toward others.

Developmentaly disabled (as far as i know, the current prefered usage) means exactly the same thing as mentaly retarded.
One's PC, the other isn't.
