I borrowed a campaign worker's pen once to fill out an absentee ballot. Was that wrong too? Or only when the tool to vote has a screen?

Seriously, what is the harm you're trying to invent by claiming that there's some norm against using a campaign supplied tablet to vote in a private caucus?[/quote]

Why were you near a campaign worker while you were filling out an absentee ballot? Weren't they all mailed home. So you carried it around and then didn't fill it out until you were near a campaign worker. Seems...weird.

You really need me to explain all of the reasons why it's - at best - inappropriate for candidate to provide the electronic device that is being used to vote? Disingenuous BS.

DP- I honestly have no issue whatsoever voting on a electronic device provided by a candidate.  Anything that increases the vote is okay in my mind.  What exactly do you think is the potential harm here?   Do you think a candidate is somehow altering a vote so that it is recorded differently?  That would require quite a bit of technological knowledge and also would involve a fairly vast number of people in at least potentially criminal activity. Do you think a candidate is tracking how people voted?  Again, would require a fair amount of technological know how- and what is the concern about what the campaign would do with the information?

I really think this is a reaction to [b]terrified dems [/b]who are afraid that Miranda is going to win the dem caucus.[/quote]

Why would "Dems" be terrified of Miranda? Isn't she a Democrat?

No, it's not that difficult at all to build a dummy site to record a "vote". I'm not all that techy and I'm sure even I could do it in a day or two.

And, assuming it's legit, I wouldn't want to hand over my private data (DOB, verification code, etc.) to random campaign worker.

AT BEST, it's inappropriate. I can't even believe this is a debate.
