No. People won’t vote will just be another long weekend.
I agree with yhe comments made and say that there needs to be an implementation of serialized, photo or biometric voter ID. All votes need to be tracked im real-time with full transparency. No complicated algos, no third party implementation, with full auditng ability by each and every US citizen.
These are OUR elections. Not the US government’s, not the UN’s, it’s OURS. The only reason for any complicated software or algorithms is for fraud. Plain and simple.
I agree a three day weekend will not I give voting. It will just let people go on a vacation. 1 day everyone votes. Paper ballots hand count. First responders can have 3 weeks prior to vote walk in to any board of election off ice sho your ID and hand in your ballot. Or if you vote by mail the ID number whether it is your license number or professional ID number must be on or in-ballot. Keep it simple one way for state and federal. We have just as much cheating state lol as we do federal. It’s got to be a national holiday
I would be more inclined to see this as voter list cleaning to be done before the election, rather than putting this on election day. Voter lists should have standards that are met (i.e. no dead people), and a state should be able to prove they have taken steps to have clean rolls.
I agree state rolls should be cleaned before the election and meet some standard of accountability that is outside the state without violating states’ rights. Perhaps a lawful list of what has been done with certification by State officials and severe penalties for lying about it. Not sure how that would look, but certainly the cheating at the state level is widespread.
I agree there needs to be an ID, but SS#s are badly compromised. If you run your own credit check with any of the agencies you are likely to see 3 or 4 other people across the nation that have used your SS#, either thru error or deliberate fraud. Try it. Depending on how old you are your record may be clean. Without electronics (back to machines) you will not be able to check a SS# anonymously on election day - just too much work. Voter verification/vetting needs to happen at the voter roll level well prior to the election, and the State should follow rigid guidelines as to what they do to “clean” the voter rolls.
That too. They should make it mandatory every year say by july
I would add to this list a bit.
I would limit mail in ballots considerably as it is a chief fraud vehicle. Identity (for mail in voters) must be verified as part of the voter roll cleaning well before election so that when the ballot arrives it is accepted readily. Also, first responders and others that can’t be there on election day voting will be taken care of with this approach. Bar code on the ballot with voter ID and physical name check on the roll should verify that ballot received is from the person it was sent to.
Third party verification of mail-in ballots would be to verify that the number of mail-ins sent out equal the number brought in, but if pre-validated votes coming in from this source can be processed immediately with a voter ID. If numbers don’t add up, an audit is triggered.
Outside verification of state efforts should be by witnesses that are freely allowed to view, not restricted, licensed or otherwise controlled by state government. They could be NGOs. Rolls verification must leave confidence that verification has been done, not just a denial by some official that the rolls are perfect.
If a voter has verified voter ID then their vote is traceable. A voter should be able to verify thru a process how their vote was counted. Anyone ever wonder if their vote was counted correctly? Establish a process to answer the question. “yes your vote was counted” is not a sufficient answer when the question is asked.
In general, Voter rolls must be verified to a standard that is not optional and has penalties for violation that are more than 1 day in jail. I see no reason state elections cannot be run the same as federal. One set of rules, one process, one day.
