We need to elevate election fraud to a capital crime for starters.

End same day voter registration AKA “motor voter” laws.

100% photo ID in the form of a issued secure election ID card that not only has a photo, but also has a fingerprint. The photo is for facial recognition, and the fingerprint is an added layer of security. The ID will have your address, the address of your polling station, the district, and precinct you are registered to vote in.

Upon arrival, you present the ID card and they scan it to check you off the list. And you get directed to a machine. At the machine, you insert the card and place your finger on the reader. The machine has a camera that handles the facial recognition. Once the photo and fingerprint matches with what is on record you get a ballot. The number of ballots the machine contains matches the number of registered voters on the rolls. No more, no less.

The ballot is a simple complete the arrow Scantron type paper ballot that is so easy that even Forrest Gump or a lower IQ average dimwit liberal can do it. Once complete you bring the ballot to the tabulation machine.

At the tabulation machine, you insert your ID, scan your fingerprint, and insert the ballot. If all is in order, the screen is green, you take your card and go. The machine keeps your ballot, places an electronic time stamp on your card, prints a paper receipt for you to take, and has an additional paper tabulation for official record.

By having biometrics with the ID, it makes it hard to register in multiple counties or states. The election network at local, state and federal level will have zero connection to the internet. No outside connection = secure.

Voter rolls are purged every year upon receiving a list of deceased for a given year compiled by the county health department. Voter rolls are again purged the day before an election. In order to register in a new state, county, district or precinct you must surrender your current card and be issued a new one the same day but not on election day. The system will show if you’ve already voted.

The goal is 1 person, 1 vote to make it impossible for the democrats to cheat by using numerous aliases and addresses, registering pets, children, dead people, etc. Every voter registration must have a photo and a fingerprint. No photo, no fingerprint = no ballot, no vote.

Election day needs to be a federal/ state level holiday where nothing is open. No daycares, no malls, no bars, no restaurants, no movie theaters, no sporting events, nothing.

All satellite TV and radio is either shut down for the day or plays nonstop election related programming.

All terrestrial TV and radio has nonstop election coverage for the day.

There will be no voting on college campuses. Students will be expected to return home to vote.

For the military, there will be polling stations on base. Service members and their dependents would follow the above steps. The ballot machines on base will have the capability to print a ballot specific to the service member’s home district, and upon tabulation the info is sent to the district for inclusion in their count. Those at sea or deployed can have an absentee ballot, and these would be processed on base and shared with the service member’s home district.

I like you proposal with two modifications:

1. Eliminate the biometrics. Biometrics are notoriously unreliable. It would not be possible, for instance, to have a database where you would scan your face, or thumb, or whatever, and have the system produce your name with even 50% reliability, much less the kind of robustness you would need here. Rather we should just scan the barcode on voter’s driver’s license, to compare that to the voter registration list and check the name off.

2. Students should vote where they live most of the year, just like everybody else. Making them vote at their parents’ addresses further infantilizes them. They are residents of the city in which they reside, just like you or me.
