[JustTheNews] Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk called for electronic voting machines to be eliminated over concerns related to hacking.
Musk's comments Saturday came in response to a post on X from independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who highlighted an Associated Press article about hundreds of voting irregularities in connection to electronic voting machines, and said that if he were elected president he would require paper ballots.
"We should eliminate electronic voting machines. The risk of being hacked by humans or AI, while small, is still too high," Musk wrote on X in response to Kennedy's post.
In addition to paper ballots, Musk also suggested he supports voting in-person on one day, rather than early voting and voting by mail.
The Associated Press article said that Dominion Voting Systems machines had a software issue that caused them to reach incorrect vote tallies during the Puerto Rico primary earlier this month. |
