In Mexico, they control this process with putting Silver Nitrate on your finger the day you vote, and punch a hole in the only Electoral Card that is good for 1 election only. Works well, clear plastic urns, and cameras to watch how the votes are tallied. Hard to beat the voting system security in Mexico, FAR better than the loose way it is done in the USA Which country would you say is the 3rd world.


This is fascinating to me. Please explain what the silver nitrate does, and the hole punching in the card.

I’ve seen voting up close in my other country too and it is by paper and ID is checked.

How we vote here is worse than third world. Even in Iraq they dyed the finger.

Silver nitrate turns black on exposure to light and you have to let it *wear* off. Soap & water just doesn’t do it.
