I am also a software engineer, and I agree with every other software engineer in here. Internet/Online voting is a terrible idea.

There is no such thing as invulnerable code. There are no networks anywhere connected to the internet that cannot be hacked. Shit hackers have even managed to cross air gaps to exploit systems.

I am absolutely saying that no way in hell would I be able to code an unhackable, uncheatable, unbreakable software solution to allow online voting, and any software engineer who tells you they can is either lying or not a software engineer.

My family has dealt with this exact issue. It was a revolving door of him taking his medication, feeling better, stopping medication, going off the rails, ending up having problems, emergency holds, convincing him to stay in the hospital, getting him back on meds...

That door revolved for over thirty years until he died. And I do not come from a wealthy family. It's not like there was endless money to throw at this.

What?

Let's say, for sake of argument, that I agree with funding mental healthcare for people who suffer severe mental illness. How do we get people to accept treatment? One of the large problems with treating things like schizophrenia is noncompliance with medication.

She had something going on with a high school student who used to be one of her students, Frank Catroppa is in it up to his eyeballs, and the Aliquippa police most definitely committed several cover-ups related to the entire thing.
