You ever hear about Brandon Mayfield? The guy whom the FBI insisted was responsible for the 2004 Madrid train bombings, based solely on the fact that his fingerprints they had on file matched those found on a bag containing detonating devices? Turns out that was a false match; the man hadn't left the country in over a decade, let alone been to Spain. The government ended up having to offer him a formal apology, as well as a $2 million dollar lawsuit settlement. False matches can and do happen; expanding fingerprint matching to the scale of an entire national election would likely result in significant error.I actually agree with you 100% on this one.
My signatures rarely match. I have crappy penmanship and it's different every time.
My votes probably get tossed out routinely. It's a shitty way to verify identity.
They're a perfectly ideal replacement.
Every criminal in history since we started recording them is in a database, and we haven't found a match yet.
That database holds more than criminals too. People may have gotten fingerprints taken for other things and added to that database.
No matches yet.
They are unique enough, that even if there was a duplicate here and there they'd be exceedingly rare and could be accounted for.
It's wayyyyyyy more reliable than what we do now.
There may indeed be some matches.You ever hear about Brandon Mayfield?

That said, I agree; it is more reliable than what we do now. Though that's mostly because what we do now isn't reliable in the slightest.
That's not exactly as large a part of the overall population as you'd think. While the incarceration rate isn't the same as the rate of people who've had their prints taken it still comes out to around 716 per 100,000 of the population of the USA. Even with the caveat there are crimes which get your prints taken which don't see you sent to prison that's still a pretty low % of the population. The average person doesn't do something that results in them getting their fingerprints taken.Out of every criminal in the counties history? And in the FBI database it never matches? The FBI database that has every criminal on record in it?

The question isn't weather big tech is going to suffer conquences at this point its how many people will go to jail. Zuck is pretty much fucked no matter what he does at this point.
How so?
Nah, there's a typo.
Clearly every single part of it is factually incorrect and can be ignored. /s
I wonder if the Typos were on purpose...
The lefties still haven't caught on.
You ever noticed that when Trump tweets about something important, he makes typos as well? That's on purpose. The media and the left can't help themselves in pointing them all out. In this way, they spread Trumps message they would have otherwise ignored, to people who may have never heard it otherwise.
Same with the typos in the lawsuit. It gets people to look into it, maybe even read it by themselves.
Same with Rudy's hair dye. It gets people to look into the event where it happened, and listen to what he had to say witout the biased media lens.
These little embarrasements had been working for Trump for years, and they are working for his team now.
Indeed. I don't think the General Public realizes just how long it take to put a legal brief together.keep in mind that the legal team has managed to do a project which normally takes weeks and maybe even months or years and compress it into days.
