As great as this website is, there are immediately noticeable flaws. As it currently stands, anyone with an email address can create an account here and submit Policy ideas. That includes foreign influences, corporate interests, bot accounts, and anyone with the mind to pad the numbers of their choice of policies by creating multiple accounts.
To correct this, I suggest all users must be verified before completing registration by their state-issued ID, passport, or social security number. This is already done on some .gov sites like that of the IRS. So, it shouldn’t be a problem implementing it here.
