Tech billionaire Elon Musk on Tuesday again raked up the electronic voting machine (EVM) issue before the US presidential elections later this year, vouching for paper ballots and in-person voting mechanisms.
In a post on X social media platform, Tesla and SpaceX CEO said, “EVMs and anything mailed in is too risky”. “We should mandate paper ballots and in-person voting only,” said the X owner, displaying some US-based news stories about EVMs.
In a separate post, Musk claimed that when combined with main-in ballots, the system is “designed” to make it impossible to prove fraud. “Mail-in and drop box ballots should not be allowed, as cameras on the in-person voting stations would at least prevent large-scale fraud by counting how many people showed up vs ballots cast,” the billionaire argued.
