We should adopt Mexico’s immigration and election policies.
Seriously.
The paper issued to the states comes from only one federal govt. source. Each piece has a unique blockchain watermark that is traced through the entire process. Each voter will be given a code linking their vote to the registered ballot. Just as in Apple device passwords, only the end user has access to this password access, given to them and only them when they hand in their ballot.
Seriously.
Agreed!
I posted this on 10/28:
Mexico has voter ID cards required to vote, and when you vote, they punch a hole in your card to prevent multiple votes in the same election.I don't know if you get a 10% discount after you've accumulated enough punched holes…
Of course, all this would only apply to Federal elections, for federal offices, as that is the legitimate concern of the federal government.
Let the states who have local authority use whatever system they wish to force the elections of their favorite sons and daughters to alderman, mayor or goobernor. They can do it the cheap way, by just following the federal rules for all voting, or they can have separate ballots for local and federal. Their call. It's a free country, ain't it?
