mail-in voting executive order sparks AI-powered election chaos as digital ballot verification goes mainstream by 2030
In a landmark shift that redefines democracy, a new mail-in voting executive order signed today mandates the use of decentralized AI to verify every ballot, promising to eliminate fraud but sparking fears of a digital divide. By 2030, experts predict this system will process 80% of U.S. votes remotely, but a viral leak reveals a flaw: the AI can auto-reject ballots from rural areas with slow internet access. As protests ignite in 20 states, the order's architects defend it as the only way to secure elections—but critics warn it could disenfranchise millions.
