I propose that we FINALLY automate the process of voting so that we can guarantee election integrity and preserve our Republic!
Overview
Every human has a finger, a face, or a retina, regardless of race or gender. These unique, biometric, identifiers guarantee that we were present when the biometrics were read/scanned.
Functionality
All legally registered US Citizens would be tasked with registering their biometric data at a designated government location.
Your biometric “fingerprint” would be tied to your registered address for city/local elections so that you are able to vote for local initiatives
You are able to vote only one time based on biometric signature.
You are able to vote online using a scanner provided by Govt upon registration of your fingerprint.
Using your biometric account, you are able to view online all of your voting “receipts” allowing you to verify that your vote was recorded accurately.
Summary
Eliminates all paper. Eliminates absentee voting. Eliminates fraud (ballot harvesting, dumping, etc). Provides truly accurate polling data in advance of elections. Provides real time election monitoring and eliminates false news reporting, exit poll data, etc. Provides immediate, accurate results when polls close.
I agree-we have got to have election integrity. Your idea makes me ‘nervous’…government having my biometric data and all. I could see this being abused by an authoritarian leaning administration.
I don’t disagree with you, but the benefit of election integrity and actually having a government that is serving “We The People” provides some additional assurance that our information would be safeguarded. Also, people/government don’t need your biometric data to take advantage of you. I wonder what laws would exist/not exist had we incorporated a system like this over the last 20 years.
I am actually proposing legislation in 100% opposition to this. The violations we saw under Pres. Obama (who set the foundations) and Pres. Biden (COVID policies, persecution of J6ers, and hundreds of other lawfare cases, including President Trump) is a strong reminder that you don’t want to be at the mercy of an anti-citizen government. We don’t want any kind of version of the vaccine passport or the Chinese Social Credit System - which has already made inroads in the U.S. and needs to be stopped.
Obama’s building of the 1 million + (1 million +!!) sq ft Utah Data Center (UDC), also known as the Intelligence Community Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative Data Center in 2012 - leaves every American’s privacy violated. Actually every person foreign or national on US soil violated.
One of the most import policies to me that I will propose is that biometic ID be 100% voluntary forever more, with EASY and EQUAL alternatives (no penalty, offering the same services for which the ID is required) if a person does not wish to engage. At the moment, for example, in Colo, without a biometric ID you can not receive unemployment. And you can not get a guard card in Denver, required for many to work. So in both cases you are out money and livelihood if you do not comply to a biometric ID.
You are welcome to a biometric ID if that is your desire. Please, just do not impose that on your fellow citizens.
