As many people know (and many don't) modern smart phones have to ability to make use of their built-in GPS to 'geo-tag' photos as they are taken. This geo-tagging makes it possible, for example, for you to upload a photo to Google Maps and have it automagically appear on their maps at precisely the location where the picture was taken.

Suppose that a great many smart phone-toting conservatives made it known that, on exiting the polls on voting day, they were going to take a geo-tagged picture of others standing in the vicinity of the polling location, and email that picture to a central email destination. Later, those pictures could be scanned through facial recognition software to detect cases of individuals voting at multiple locations. The process could be made more practical by only checking pictures that are taken within some limited distance of one another (thanks to geo-tagging).

Wouldn't such a plan give pause to anyone contemplating some forms of voter fraud?

Be sure to check with your campaign or county party leaders’ legal staff before organizing anything like this. The various voters’ rights acts have prohibited some of this.
