Ghe point is that the automatic process tends to be very reliable and instantaneous while hand counts can be used as an auditing process. So machines that are easily auditable and have an inherent paper trail because thenvotes are on actual paper ballots are the best combination of steps for voting.
Auditable machines make ballot stuffing impossible.

“I just wanna debate this guy, but you know– and I’m gonna demand a drug test too, by the way,” Trump said as the audience cheered. “I am. No, I really am. I don’t want him coming in like the State of the Union. He was high as a kite.”
That is why some bubble packaging has the logo but a reminder to reuse, since it can't be recycled.
As a society we have skipped completely over the reduce and reuse because of the recycling myth. It isn't a myth that plastic can be recycled, but that it rarely if ever is because only limited types and in specific conditions are ever cost effective.

All of the major broadcast networks have always canceled stuff as fast as Netflix, maybe faster since they sometimes cancel shows before the first season has completed airing.
In addition to the intentional actions, there is a general trend for people who are alike live in clise proximity and school attendance is based on residential location. This happens both by people (in general) wanting to be near similar people and farther from people that aren't similar both in physical and economic statuses.
The intentional decisons on school boundaries, achool choice, and other intentional segregation is easier with that as a base trend.
Some web pages are extraneous, fedundant, or only relevant for a limited period of time. A sign up page for a concert doesn't need to exist permanently. Consolidating a large website down to fewer pages that are accessible for everyone is a good thing.
Archiving services that retain web pages that deserve saving are how we should retain that history of the web, but the actual creators don't necessarily need to indefinitely maintain a web page that becomes obsolete.
Yes, a lot is lost that could have just continued to exist and archiving is good, but getting rid of clutter is not a bad thing.
Yes, I know the scale is vastly different between driving charge and game lmaying charge, but it still sounds like revving your engine wile filling with gas.
15% is a pretty low bar in a winner take all election, and being able to possibly win seems like a reasonable standard if the goal is to have a real debate. In that case I would include the top 5 polling candidates, no matter how low their percentage is. That way there is a chance for sokething to be important other than the talking points of the two major parties.
I don't think it would be better, but then again the 'debates' are pointless any as they are just another place to spout campain slogans, and no actual debate occurs.
"Cool, then you shouldn't mind if we search your entire property right now to prove that you don't still have the thing you are explicitly prohibited from possessing. Or you can show us where you were boating when they were lost and we can charge you for the cost of the search if they aren't there."
That sub was hilarious! So many weird substitutions and people having no idea what the ingredients do for the final result. I actually learned a lot about cooking from that sub.
That assumes they are paying perclick, and you are exchanging your time for their cost. If it makes you happy because it pays for the site, go for it, but you are probably costing the ad buyers a tiny fraction of a penny per click.
