I saw where in India everyone had a Voting Card that had to be shown to vote. I don’t know why something similar couldn’t be introduced here, something like a credit card with your photo ID on it, that could be scanned at the site to ensure it is you, then you vote. Also, I find it very convenient, but we need to do away with absentee voting. Maybe your voting card could be accepted at any voting site, anywhere in the U.S., just by inserting your card, much like you can use a credit card, after having your photo checked.

Because here, we want to make voting “simple”, so we implement dumb things like “all absentee” where all ballots are mailed. In WA State, we do not even have the option to go into a polling place any more.

Absentee is needed for two reasons — people who must travel for business or vacation on election day, and people who are disabled and too infirm to leave home including nursing homes.

There should be a record of disability for the second case, but there is no way to limit the first case. Maybe early voting by as much as a month or a national voting system where you can vote at any polling place in any city or state and have your vote tallied in the proper home precinct. We really need a national vote registry just to be sure people aren’t voting in multiple places anyway — today they could be registered at home, in another state or county where they work, or have a vacation home or are going to college. It is ridiculous that there is no system in place to even know if people are voting in multiple places.

If I were Trump, I would order the FEC to get the full voter databases from every county Registrar and datamine the crap out of it looking for suspicious entries. Multiple entries in different places, addresses that are vacant lots or used a suspicious number of times, check against SS and IRS records, etc. to find fakes, non-citizens and dead people. Then require those records be purged after mailing a letter telling them they’ll need to re-register to correct their info.

I think it's odd that a regular unleaded gasoline pump in Bumfrack, Montana INSISTS on knowing I am who I say I am [enter your home city zip code!], and takes video of me just in case.

This is Gasoline Disenfranchisement! /s 😀
