In a time where trust in the election process is critical, it’s vital to ensure that every vote is legitimate, secure, and cast by an eligible citizen. That’s why I propose a new approach to election security—powered by technology, verified by multiple checks, and safeguarded by the best in cybersecurity.
The Four-Check Election Security App
This app will serve as the ultimate tool to ensure election integrity, leveraging technology and verified systems to make sure every vote counts fairly and securely.
- Biometric Verification
Utilizing thumbprint or facial recognition technology already available on most smartphones, voters will authenticate their identity at the biometric level. This ensures the person voting is the person registered.
- Photo Verification
Similar to the verification process on apps like Hinge, voters will take a real-time photo for live verification. This ensures the individual matches their registered ID photo.
- Social Security Number Verification
Linking the app to the Social Security Administration, this check will confirm the voter is a U.S. citizen and eligible to vote.
- Driver’s License or State ID Link
The app will verify state-issued identification through the DMV or equivalent agency to ensure the voter resides in the correct jurisdiction and eliminate duplicates.
Cybersecurity: The Backbone of Integrity
People might argue this system could be hacked. That’s why cybersecurity will be our highest priority. We will:
Hire top cybersecurity experts to continuously monitor, query, and validate voter information.
Use advanced encryption and blockchain technology to prevent unauthorized access and maintain data integrity.
Run regular audits and penetration tests to safeguard against intrusions or duplicates.
Why This Matters
Eliminates Fraud: With four layers of verification, it becomes nearly impossible for non-citizens or ineligible individuals to vote.
Restores Confidence: Voters can trust the process, knowing their vote is secure and meaningful.
Streamlines Elections: By leveraging technology, we reduce the risk of manual errors and ensure accuracy in voter rolls.
This is a policy by the people, for the people. It’s time to put technology to work for democracy and ensure every election is secure, fair, and trusted.
