Another user writes, Seriously! California is still counting votes? I thought the US was a developed nation. Maybe developed means they are stagnant. No scope for further developments. I guess better to be developing!
Another user writes, that Indian voting machines and systems are quite good and clean. DOGE should think about implementing such a system inspired by India in the USA.
