There are two camps about “broken” elections.
One worries about a gazillion illegal immigrants voting and is generally trying to make it hard to vote, but make its absolutely sure that the voters are legit.
The other camp worries about voter suppression and ex-felons not having the franchise and generally wants to get more people to vote and to increase the franchise.
I don’t think that we can agree that the voting system can’t or shouldn’t be improved (or fixed). But both sides need to cool the rhetoric that cheating is the only way that the other wins elections and to cool the rhetoric that the system is broken almost to the point of collapse.
You shouldn’t be. I’ve been all about this my whole life. You won’t find my fingerprints or anything else anywhere in any system. The government doesn’t need my DNA profile for any ■■■■■■■ reason.
No I didn’t. The first thing was you wanted federal biometric IDs so we could catch illegal immigrants. That was all the way back to 2008. This is merely your most recent thing that can be solved by giving the government my DNA, fingerprints and retinal pattern.
You either sign the voter roll for in person, or you sign a portion of the envelope or other part that can be removed from the ballot. It’s how you VERIFY the voter identity. Once seperated, the vote is secret. Granted poll workers can look at your ballot and know. The only true secret ballot is in person voting. They only know you went into the booth and voted.
Show your ID and they hand you the ballot. Well technically, they have a check in table, you show your ID and they hand you a ticket. Then you go to the ballot table, and the little old lady on the other side of the table your ticket and she hands you a ballot and the little “I Voted” sticker.
