6. Obvious disdain for democracy.
The devil is in the technology; inhuman and blameless. It really is the perfect way to scam a nation. I guess all our problems can be blamed on a 'glitch' now.

I've heard Dems say we need a 'hacker force' that should be deployed to keep things fair and balanced on election night, I disagree. It never occurs to them that we shouldn't NEED that kind of thing. Voting should have an accountable trail of evidence on who votes for what. Without it then the very rule of law is meaningless. If votes are unreliable then the very legitimacy of our government comes into question. Without legitimacy then laws have no foundation to stand upon.

I don't think we will be a republic for very much longer; not unless we correct the voting process to be fair and equitable.
