I liked the idea of online voting once upon a time, too, then I considered something. At this point in time, what sort of "proof" does conventional voting give that you voted for a specific candidate?

With online voting, there would be the "screen shot". With proof, now we have something that can be paid for. Makes it easy to buy and sell votes.

No thanks, not interested anymore.

"With online voting, there would be the "screen shot". With proof, now we have something that can be paid for. Makes it easy to buy and sell votes."

I suppose that I'm not computer savvy enough to understand "screen shot" and buying and selling votes...

My point was concerning 'security' as it now is on-line with what I described in my reply.

I was trying to make a point that there must be a more secure way to register voters with a valid and secure "Voter ID" even if it requires a photo, signature and fingerprints and if you have to get it at the DMV or Post Office or Courthouse...

That Voter ID would be swiped like a credit card at a polling place that would allow one to vote, but then, there and nowhere else. I though that same card could be used on-line the same as in a bank transaction or credit card purchase... Does this mean that my on-line banking and credit card purchases have a "screen shot" "With proof, now they would know something can be paid for. Makes it easy to buy and sell..." What regarding my banking or purchases? My understanding here fails.

Bottom line though: NO reform is going to be made anyway. Am I wrong? Then, what about after 2000, 2004, 2006...this year? Voters don't want to have to produce valid ID, photo ID, nada...it's discriminatory, disenfranchisement...blah, blah, blah...therefore, judge or Sec. State rules none needed and there you go: FRAUD and it will continue. It's to the Democrats advantage to have have the dead, animals, illegals, criminals, homeless, Disney characters and Cowboys lineup to vote early and vote often.
