I like your ideas... I'm also sending a letter to the MO Secy of State asking them to invalidate EVERY MO voter registration, forcing every MO voter to re-register. Given the fact that there are more than 10,000 dead people on the voter roles in MO, and that more than 40,000 suspect voter registrations were found, partly due to ACORN, there's no way to know who is and isn't a legal voter.
And if I can add one more thing to your list. I think that Iraq has the right idea... You need to be marked to only allow a person to vote one time, like ink on the right index finger. And have police stationed to disallow anyone with the inkstain from entering the building. Of course the same people who opposed showing ID when you vote will oppose this... So, if an amputee doesn't have a right index finger, use a different finger on the same hand, If he's missing his hand, use the left index finger. If he's a double amputee, mark his nose...

Funner dipping won't work in the US. Most voter fraud is accomplished through absentee ballots. Folks are too tired/ don't know the procedures/ don't care, to fill out the stack of paper work that would be required to question the ballots.
Fortunately our county is small and the County Clerk's office checks over each ballot in great detail. Those without signatures, etc are noted and brought to the attentions of the precinct Inspector.
If any of you get a chance check out the new state voter registry computer system being used. It is fabulous! Type in an address and it lists all the legal, registered voters living at the address. ( Our clerk told me their office had mistyped an address. They immediately got a call from the state alerting them that there was a problem)
It finds people in your county, in the state, where they are registered and what precinct they are assigned to vote. My understanding that in the future it may also be connected with the office that issues death certificates...... Technology can be wonderful. It may be the secret to cutting out most of the fraud in future election.
