forget cleaning the voter roles. there’s no need if the voting system is done properly.
what do i mean by ‘properly’?
here’s the solution: block-chain based, 3-way secure, voting over smart devices.
3-way secure?
what you know (password). what you have (voter-id). and what you are (palm/finger/retinal print)
the supervisor would ‘push’ ballots for all those registered in his district to their registered ‘ballot wallet’ just before the election is started. the ballot would be a blob of crypto signed data describing the ballot, election, district, and time span it will be used in. only the owner of the ‘wallet’ could retrieve the ballot and ‘spend’ it by issuing a vote to the block chain.
as a vote is pushed to the chain by the voter from their smart device, it will come with loads of signed meta data to ensure authenticity.
and it can all be monitored in real time.
no dead voting. no multi voting. no voting in other districts. etc etc
Any electronic system can eventually be hacked.
Paper ballots in person on Election Day.
Every precinct reports results by midnight of Election Day. Failure to do so is a felony.
Absentee ballots only upon sworn oath or affirmation. Penalties for perjury apply with enhancements for vote fraud.
Ballot harvesting is made strictly illegal. Penalties for vote fraud apply.
Make vote fraud a felony. 10 years in prison without the possibility of parole for a first offense. A second offense carries a mandatory death sentence.
