Policy Proposal: Federal Voter Identification Requirement for National Election Participation

Policy Title: Federal Election Integrity and Voter Identification Compliance Act

Purpose:
This proposed policy mandates that, to ensure the integrity and security of federal elections, states must require valid voter identification for participation in national elections. Any state that fails to implement a verified voter identification process will forfeit its electoral votes in presidential elections and will not have its popular votes included in the national tally.

Policy Statement:
Under the Federal Election Integrity and Voter Identification Compliance Act, all states must enforce a voter identification requirement for federal election participation. The goal is to uphold a transparent and secure voting process, enhancing public trust in electoral outcomes and reducing potential for fraud.

Rationale:
In an increasingly interconnected society, voter identification serves as a fundamental safeguard against electoral misconduct. Implementing a voter ID requirement uniformly across states will:

  1. Enhance public trust in the electoral process.
  2. Reduce potential risks of voter fraud.
  3. Ensure a consistent standard for electoral participation in federal elections.

Key Provisions:

  1. State Compliance Requirement:
    States must establish a voter identification process requiring that each voter presents a valid form of ID prior to casting a ballot in national elections.

  2. Accepted Forms of Identification:
    The federal government will issue guidelines listing acceptable forms of voter identification, including but not limited to driver’s licenses, state-issued ID cards, military ID, passports, or any other federally recognized identification.

  3. Verification and Access Measures:
    States are encouraged to ensure that voter ID processes are accessible and do not place undue burdens on eligible voters. This includes offering free or low-cost identification options to those in need, in line with the Voting Rights Act and federal non-discrimination requirements.

  4. Non-Compliance Penalty:
    States that fail to require voter identification for federal elections will not have their electoral or popular votes counted in the certification of national election results. Additionally, they may be subject to withholding of federal election-related funding.

  5. Implementation and Oversight:
    The Federal Election Commission (FEC) and Department of Justice (DOJ) will oversee the enactment of this policy, ensuring states meet compliance standards and provide guidance on best practices for voter ID requirements.

Benefits:

  • Standardizes election integrity across all states for federal elections.
  • Increases voter confidence in election outcomes.
  • Reduces potential vulnerabilities in the election process.

Challenges and Considerations:
This policy acknowledges potential challenges, including access to identification for certain groups. States are encouraged to mitigate these challenges by facilitating free access to necessary identification, thus ensuring that all eligible citizens can participate without hardship.

Effective Date:
This policy would take effect on January 1, [Insert Year], with states required to demonstrate compliance by the subsequent federal election cycle.

Conclusion:
By requiring voter identification as a condition for counting electoral and popular votes in federal elections, the United States can reinforce the integrity of its democratic process. This policy will provide a consistent framework across states, reduce potential for fraud, and help to maintain public confidence in federal election results.

This draft emphasizes both the intention and necessary framework for a voter ID policy while addressing potential challenges to implementation and accessibility. It would likely face both legal and political challenges and would require strong justification for the changes it mandates.*

  1. Issue citizen cards to every citizens. Check citizens card, passport or birth certificate for voting (Not just driver’s license. Everybody could get that)
  2. Paper ballots
  3. Small neighborhood precinct with no more than 1500 voters each.
  4. All vote tally must be counted at the precinct where the voters vote, NOT moving elsewhere centrally tallied. (eliminate chain of custody issues)
  5. Report each precinct tally to Registrar of Voters for consolidation.
    Let’s get back to the good old days when our election is simple, transparent, secure and with integrity.
