This is wonderful news. Are Swedish elections secure? They will try to cheat to win.

Yeah, Swedish elections are as secure as they can be. All voting is done on paper and they use good systems with ID / birth numbers to ensure you can only vote once.

If only we had this security in our US elections.

Hand counted paper ballots is the only way.

Black boxes and algorithms that we are not allowed to audit are completely unacceptable.

I stopped voting for the same reason that I don't play in poker games that are rigged.

Electronic voting is basically unheard of in Europe.

Oh dear, then you werenтАЩt paying attention in 2018. You may remember that for the first hour or so of counting, SD were cruising to the top, comfortably. When they finally WERE at the top, the vote counting machines jammed (?) and the main Val.se website crashed. Unprecedented. It came back online with SD again in third place. The numbers climbed, the technology crashed again. What should have been a roundhouse slam of an election was a total bust. As a second-generation immigrant you this fantastic country, I am not holding my breath for a change of government. It is unconscionable to me that people are voting left at this time, but if enough people (really) do, itтАЩs game over for the conservative block and I doubt theyтАЩll come back into power again.
