Američki glasački sistem je, najblaže rečeno, komplikovan, a glasanje je jedno od najopipljivijih načina na koji svako od nas može da oblikuje svoju zajednicu. Kako možemo da učinimo da ovaj sistem bude moderniji, pristupačniji i sigurniji? Borac za građansku inicijativu, Tijana Eps-Džonson, govori o tome šta je potrebno da bi se glasanje u Americi uvelo u 21. vek i da bi se svaka osoba izvela na biralište.

Ja sam ga, recimo, primila danas,
00:25
because one piece of my work

When we look at comparable democracies,

A system where 20th-century technology --

01:26
like fax machines --
24

01:50
I believe in something
very straightforward:

Ja verujem u nešto veoma jasno:
da svi treba da raspolažu informacijama
koje su im potrebne da bi postali glasači,
koje su im potrebne da bi postali glasači,
01:54
that everyone should have the information
that they need to become a voter,

01:57
that the voting process
should be seamless and secure

da bi doneo odluku o kandidatima

02:07
Because when more people vote,

Zato što, kada glasa više ljudi,
02:09
together, we make better decisions
for our communities.

04:07
When I was talking with Kat and Marie,
71
235295

Kada sam pričala sa Ket i Mari,
04:09
like so many election officials
that I talk with in rural towns

kao i mnogi lokalni službenici za izbore
sa kojima sam pričala u manjim,

they were deeply proud of getting

they were difficult to figure out

imale su problem da shvate

And they felt like they weren't fully

04:34
One thing that they really wished
that they had was a website

262254
3106
Jedna stvar koju su stvarno želele
da imaju je veb-sajt

04:50
which meant that Kat and Marie

što je značilo da su Ket i Mari
neizbežno odgovarale

04:53
the same questions over and over again,
87
281026
2815

which is both a superinefficient

98
316273
3742
Za Ket i Mari ovo je bilo neprihvatljivo,
05:32
but they didn't have very many options.
99
320039
1917
ali nisu imale baš neki izbor.
05:34
They didn't have the budget

i razumevamo svet oko nas,
06:01
but our democratic institutions --
109
349588
2650
ali naše demokratske ustanove -
06:04
they're being left behind.
110
352262
1717
one su zaostale.
06:07
The US is one of the few
major democracies in the world

Amerika je jedna od nekoliko
najvećih demokratskih država na svetu

koja stavlja teret registracije
birača na samog birača,

06:14
rather than the government.
113
362307
1300
a ne na vladu.
06:16
The rules that govern how to vote
vary from state to state,
vary from state to state,
114
364570

Pravila glasanja variraju
od države do države,

06:19
and sometimes even county to county.
115
367693
1938
a ponekad i od okruga do okruga.
06:22
And we have ballots
that are pages and pages long.

06:25
This November, on my ballot,
117
373614

Ovog novembra, na mom listiću
06:28
there are literally over
100 different people and referenda

118
376130
3552
je bilo bukvalno preko 100
različitih ljudi i pitanja

06:31
for me to make decisions about.
119
379706
2535
o kojima je trebalo da odlučim.
06:34
We have to be using
the best tools we can bring to bear

120
382265
2601
Moramo koristiti najbolje alate
koje možemo doneti

kako bi pomogli glasačima
da se izbore sa ovom složenošću,
da se izbore sa ovom složenošću,
06:36
to help voters navigate this complexity,
121
384890
2227
06:39
and right now, we're not.
122
387141
1936
a to trenutno ne radimo.
06:42
One of the most common narratives
I hear in my work
I hear in my work
123
390754
3139
Jedna od najčešćih priča
koje slušam na poslu
koje slušam na poslu
06:45
is that people aren't civically engaged
because they're apathetic --
because they're apathetic --
124
393917
3573
je da ljudi nisu građanski uključeni
zato što su apatični -
zato što su apatični -
06:49
because they don't care.
125
397514
1462

06:52
But as my brilliant friends
at the Center for Civic Design say,

126
400322
3089
Ali kao što moji izuzetni prijatelji
iz Centra za građansko modeliranje kažu -
iz Centra za građansko modeliranje kažu -
06:55
if there is apathy,
127
403435
1657
ako postoji apatija,
06:57
it comes from the system,
128
405116
2029
ona dolazi iz sistema,
06:59
not the voter.
129
407169
1219
a ne od strane birača.
07:01
We can change the system right now
130
409338

Možemo odmah promeniti sistem

It's happening right now,

Ona se trenutno i dešava,
10:05
but there's still so much work to do.
183

1856
ali ima još puno posla.
10:08
Now, if you have any technical
bone in your body,

184
596402
4499
Ako išta znate o tehnologiji,
10:12
I know what you're thinking.
185
600925
1803
znam šta mislite.
10:14
This is all solvable.
186
602752
1325
Ovo se sve može rešiti.
10:16
The technology that we need exists.
187
604820
2161
Tehnologija koja nam je potrebna postoji.
10:19
We collectively have the expertise.
188

You might even be thinking
about volunteering

2716
Dopada mi se vaš način razmišljanja,
okrenut ka rešenjima,

10:29
but to be clear,
192
617254
1874
ali da razjasnimo,
10:31
the work that is needed
to modernize our election system
to modernize our election system
193
619152
3430
da bi se modernizovao izborni sistem,
10:34
isn't something that's going to happen
using 20 percent time,
using 20 percent time,
194
622606
3530
ne može se koristiti 20 procenata vremena,
10:38
or through a hackathon,
195
626160
1499
niti dvodnevni seminari informatike,
10:39
or by doing a one-off technology project.
196
627683
2596
niti jednokratni tehnički projekti.
10:42
What we need is significant,
sustained, long-term investment.

197
630796

Ono što je nama potrebno je značajno,
neprekidno i dugoročno ulaganje.

10:49
Investment in technology

10:51
and investment in the skills
of local election officials

199
639051
2845
i ulaganje u veštine
lokalnih službenika za izbore,

10:53
to run 21st-century elections,
200
641920
3449
da bismo imali izbore 21. veka.
10:57
because if we don't
invest in the long game,
invest in the long game,
201
645393
2608
Ako ne ulažemo dugoročno,
11:00
we risk finding ourselves
perpetually behind.

202
648025
2394
rizikujemo da neprestano zaostajemo.
11:03
So if you're ready to help millions,
203
651624
3448
Ako ste spremni da pomognete milionima,
11:07
if you're ready to close the gap
between the system that we have

204
655096
3239
ako ste spremni da premostimo jaz
između sistema koji imamo
između sistema koji imamo
11:10
and the system that we deserve,
205
658359
2474
i sistema koji zaslužujemo,
11:12
we need you.
