Yeah, I saw someplace before the (s)elections (2 weeks prior?) that if you went to a polling location and your name wasn't on the rolls, DEMAND a provisional ballot no matter what. So now it appears there are thousands of them floating around out there. Sound like a pre-plan to toss a little chaos into the process? Does to me.

That is precisely the tactic dems are using in Georgia. This way they can "innocently" claim they want every vote counted.

We have speed of light voting machines coupled with a early 1900's registration process. The door for fraud stands wide open but IMO it seems an easy fix.

There are two parts and each is handled by a dedicated desk in order to not delay other voters:

1. In the absence of mandating voter registration cards, computerize the registration records to enable on-the-spot confirmation of registration (what doesn't the government already know about us?).

2. In the absence of OTS confirmation via card or computer:
a) allow provisional voting upon sufficient proof of identification and qualification to vote along with a finger print,
b) confirm the voter's registration promptly(prior to close of polls on last day of voting) for
i) timely tabulation of votes, and
ii) imposition of a heavy fine if no evidence of registration.

I said "easy fix" because I am not fully versed on all aspects of the matter.
