Signing a petition is public, who you cast your vote for is private.

If there were any doubts on the signatures, officials can contact the people who signed and verify that they did sign. How do you verify a secret vote without ruining the secrecy?

I mean you can have online voting if you cast a ballot thats public, and it'd be verifiable, but then we go back to the 1800s in the US where threatening voters is a thing.

You have 3 elements:

1: Internet voting

2: Secrecy

3: Verifiable

Pick 2.

There are different versions.

One is where they sell the cellebrite device to law enforcement.

Another where the cellebrite device remain in control of cellebrite, and law enforcement has to send the phone to cellebrite.

Unless you actually work for cellebrite and got access to their more advanced tools, which then I doubt they would let you share the details of since that must be breaking some non-disclosure agreement.

There shouldn't be a need for pro forma sessions in this era. The rule regarding no more than 3 days of adjournment is because back then, congress was considered a part time job, while the president was a full time job. So the president need to be able to make recess appointments because the government need to function even if congress is on vacation. In the modern world, with near instantaneous communications, this rule is unnecessary. Congress can take a 4 day break or even a week break, and vote to confirm appointments via virtual meet if they wanted to.

I mean the electoral college thatvote in December is in a way already kinda a pro forma session when you think about it. The electors used to actually vote, now they just rubber stamp what the people in their state actually voted for, and if the popular vote inter state compact passes, its even more of a pro forma session. Like the president would technically be elected by the electoral college, while actually its de facto a popular vote. The electoral college would never really go away since 37 states agreeing is almost impossible. Just like this congressional pro forma sessions, since changing the text of the constitution is too much of a hassle.

That's what they say. I mean the news literally base this off the FBI's own words, so there's no way for us to tell if they actually manage to break the encryption but then turns around that say "the encryption is too strong". Besides, iOS is closed source.

Intelligence agencies have made this "Anom Phone" that is this supposed encrypted phone that drug dealers and various criminals used to communicate, turned out to be a honeypot.
