Here’s how this madness happens ... there is no uniformity in voting.

ID EVERYONE. Expand voting. If you are properly ID’d the State should do whatever it can to make sure people can vote. Staff voting areas well. Give a week or two for voting.

Once you are confirmed to be an American Citizen and eligible then the State should do ALL it can to ensure people can vote. Weekends, late night, etc. THAT is what a real Democracy does.

While I am so with the GOP on voter ID, I do not like the restriction of hours, fewer voting booths and precincts, etc that seems to be running rampant. At a minimum, voting should be over a weekend.

If most "absentee" ballots can be matched to actual people, and those people have not already voted in person, I would be very surprised.

The "absentee" ballot is increasingly issued to "virtual" rather than existent voters, and multiple votes in person still goes on.... IOW, a blend of the old scams and new cyber-tech are at the heart of today's sophisticated voter fraud. E.G., a typical Philadelphia or Baltimore Election: Meet at the little church in the 'hood for a hearty breakfast. Collect street money. Complete absentee ballots as provided. Then, ride in church vans to multiple precincts to vote in person. Break for lunch. By this time, preliminary tallies show the fraudsters how many they need, and the show goes on. And on for weeks in a 'close' race. This is how the "urban masses" make sure states made up of largely conservative areas stay in the Democrat column.

All the "voter ID" in the world may not be of immediate help because a virtually created voter given a fraudulent absentee ballot must be manually checked after the fact. Furthermore, the illegal alien invasion has spawned a very efficient multiple ID industry!

Hosshiite. The more bells, whistles, and extensions a corrupt government can attach to voting, the greater the opportunity for fraud. Voting is an absolute duty. Citizens are not Consumers. Yes, Yes, Issue voter ID. But encourage in-person voting over two days. End these month-long charades after every crucial election. Discourage absentee ballots, which is killing elections with "double-dip" voters. (See Florida, New England)
