We are supposed to get something like that in WI, but it has been delayed because the software doesn't work. By Federal law it was supposed to be in place by 2008, but it won't be. We are not in compliance, and I suspect it is because of the Dem Governor (formerly the Dem Atty Genl.) who never could see voter fraud when it slapped him in the face.
As election workers, we cannot ask to see Drivers Licences or SS cards. The voter is nly required to say the number (last 4 digits in the case of SS) aloud. They could be saying 1,2,3,4 and we just have to write it down and allow them to vote. It really stinks, and there is a lot of fraud that goes on in the bigger cities, as well as around the University.
To add insult to injury, the state got a 50% discount on the non-working software — not a fix. So, we have no way of removing someone from one precinct after they register and vote in another precinct.
