There is also the option to get a TIN - Taxpayer Identification Number (IIRC) in lieu of a Social Security Number.

But what is going to kill SS is when this government or any leftist government to come legitimizes the ‘migrants’ and they find out they can hold their vote hostage for being grandfathered into Social Security. Instant bankruptcy and insanity.

currently, most states, if not all, scan ballots as they are cast. for the most part, these are never referred to and typically just deleted.

at a minimum, we could demand the states push those images to a publicly readable blockchain, along with some basic meta data. this would prevent mystery ballots from showing up randomly after the polls close as well as making rescanned ballots easy to spot.

The good thing about what I am proposing is when the polls close, the database locks and the application is no longer available to use. smh

DO have a social security number

Actually they apply for TIN "Taxpayer Identification Number" or at least it was that way but before Biden, but who knows now. You have Cities now voting to allow illegals to vote in their elections and apparently they can do that if they want to.

Over 50 years ago all this fraud was quietly approved by the Supreme Court when they ruled residency requirements were unconstitutional. That was aimed at cities that required you to be a registered to vote for a period of time that it was aimed at. What it allowed was college campus students to move into a dorm and potentially dominate an election because they campus population in some cities was nearly as great as the local voter base.

I’m not putting my SSN into any sort of device that has access to the internet.

I doubt that is even remotely possible, if you draw a paycheck, use a bank or have medical insurance or require medical treatment your SSN is all over the internet.

But you still need people to actually enforce that system, people with integrity, and that is what we are missing in our society today. Every system you dream up is going to have the same flaw: if half the population can’t be trusted, every system relying on people is going to be badly compromised.

He wasn’t the only Founding Father to hold this view. Indeed, James Madison wrote that our Constitution requires “sufficient virtue among men for self-government,” otherwise, “nothing less than the chains of despotism can restrain them from destroying and devouring one another.”

it would literally allow for secure real-time voting from anywhere in the world... but they don’t want anything to do with it.

No matter how secure you make it. It will still require honest brokers to tabulate and report the results and we don't have that anymore in our culture. You may have noticed how many honest legislators, governors and courts simply ignore the fraud in the last election, if you didn't then God only can help us.

There are laws against shredding/disposing of paper ballots (at least without image archives). We should punish the people who violate the laws

Ask Kari how that works.

just because you filled in a ballot behind a curtain and put it in a box doesn’t mean they can’t check it and accept/reject it

The only real solution is to reduce the size of voting precincts to the point most people are known by the poll managers like it was 70 or 80 years ago and that is very unlikely because the huge size makes all the cheating easy. Some cheating in elections has always been with us but computer technology made large scale cheating very easy and it will only get worse because we allow it to continue.

Abandon God, pay the price, our choice.

its a secure unhackable system.

Doesn't exist, it will always be hackable by the people who created it. Even if that were possible there has to be people involved in certifying results and their methods will be secret and only cheaters, who were empowered by crooked elections in the first place, will have access to that system.

Ever wonder why people never voted out the tyrants? Because elections as are fake as our Federal Reserve notes. Of course there are exceptions where people actually voted the tyrants in but that mostly is in Middle Eastern nations. Many, many Freepers still refuse to believe elections have been and are currently being rigged and that is as certain as Kim getting every vote cast in North Korea.

actually, no. public blockchains allow for independent review and analysis. no need to rely on others to count the votes.

There’s a big difference between preventing my SSN being used anywhere and me inputting it someplace. I know the former is likely not possible but there is legal recourse there. But not if I do the latter.

Believe it or not forty years ago in California your SSN had to be included on your checks, I remember well having to do that when I moved there. Of course I could have refused to have a checking account but then you would need to live off grid or under a bridge. Concerning entering a SSN on a web page is insane and I don't recall ever being asked for one. Credit card # of course but then a credit check would reveal that info so unless you live totally off grid like the Mountain Men of the past, then no, your SSN is not safe.

Sixty years ago the military still used Military Serial numbers probably because many in the past did not have a SSN, I still remember all mine.

I have one, and only one, credit card that gets used online. It has a limit on it of $500. So if it gets hijacked, it can keep the damage limited. Of course, I use other things to ensure nothing gets hijacked. Never had a problem.

I've always said the penalty for convicted hackers should be termination within 7 days of conviction. It would never happen but it sure would solve a lot of problems.

Yep I agree.

Couple weeks ago I was notified by my Pension Plan that my identity had been exposed to hacks in a data breech so even if I take precautions.......
