Seer of the tapes! Knower of the episodes!
This is why I appreciate the scene in Undiscovered Country where Kronos One glides into view, seeming to align itself to the Enterprise’s orientation.
A system being slow and inefficient makes defrauding that system similarly slow and inefficient. To affect an election run on paper ballots you have to somehow physically alter or insert thousands or millions of pieces of paper without being detected. This will mean spending large amounts of time and money and must necessarily involve numerous people.
Manual in person voting is not easily scammed on a scale that can swing an election. The slow, inefficient, in person, physical process is a security feature.
I would say that “electronic voting” means that the ballot itself is digital rather than physical. So, scantrons are not electronic voting and voter registries/ID/etc. are not ballots in the first place.

Trade embargo.
CRETAK: A glass of Romulan ale, Doctor?
BASHIR: Thank you, Senator.
ROSS: The trading embargo has been officially lifted, if you were wondering.
BASHIR: It hadn’t crossed my mind, actually.
ROSS: To one of the many benefits of the Alliance.
I only use if for medicinal purposes!
Don’t be a jerk.
Thanks for your completely sincere suggestion, which I’m sure was made in a good faith effort to have a mature and intelligent discussion on this topic, but I’m actually very well versed in LGBT+ history already.
Cardassians like Tekeny Ghemor and Aamin Marritza are right in line with the point of Trek.
Oh, FFS. Never mind.
That utterly misses the point of Pride. It’s not about revenge, it’s about reconciliation. It’s not about hatred, it’s about love. It’s not about divisiveness, it’s about coming together. It’s a good thing that police, etc. want to be in our parades. Excluding them actively harms the progress LGBT+ people have made since Stonewall.
Shouldn’t we be working against that, though? Isn’t that the whole point of Pride… AND TREK?
I’m obviously asking why no cops. I don’t believe you didn’t understand that. But clearly, you’re not willing to discuss it, so I’ll withdraw the question.
Don’t be obtuse.
But that’s not the part I’m asking about.
What’s with these “no cops at Pride” comics?
Kirk penetrates an alien organism in order to destroy its reproductive organs.
Someone once told me that time is a predator that stalks us all our lives. I rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey, and reminds us to cherish every moment, …because they’ll never come again. …What we leave behind is not as important as how we lived. …After all, Number One, we’re only mortal.
