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 terrified dems who are afraid that Miranda is going to win the dem caucus.[/quote]

Because you are inputting your personal information (name, address, birthdate, verification codes) onto someone's personal device? That type of information regularly is used for hacking purposes. Voting in an official election, if done remotely, should at least be done on your own device, with some semblance of online privacy.[/quote]

This isn't an official election.  But that aside, no one is forced to use a campaign device to vote.  If you want to vote on your own device, go for it.
