We need the following changes to our election laws, which Congress should be able to pass in a Constitutional manner by stressing the sole goal of “one citizen, one vote” in any election (primary or general) in which one or more candidates for federal office appear on the ballot:
1) Federal immigration authorities MUST give information to all state election boards as to which particular people are resident here who are NOT citizens.
2) Criminal penalties, AND revocation of the right to be present in this country, for any foreign citizen who even completes a voter registration application.
3) Social Security Administration MUST provide each state of all registered deaths in its system - going back to the inception of the SSA. Revoke the ability of the dead to vote.
4) Forced exchange of information between states to make sure that people moving from State A to State B are only registered in one of the two states. Feds pay for all expenses, to avoid charges/challenges based on unfunded mandates.
5) Picture ID required upon BOTH registration AND at the voting booth. Those who cannot afford it (and they’ll have to prove it by being on welfare, food stamps, etc.) will be given such ID free of charge by the feds.
6) Thumb or other finger to be dipped in indelible ink upon leaving the polling place.
7) SEVERE penalties for anyone caught voting more than once, or funding/otherwise aiding anyone else to do so. “Severe” as in it is a felony offense, with immediate lifetime revocation of voting rights in all federal elections. If it is found that any organization with tax free status is involved in promoting or aiding voter fraud, such tax free status is to be revoked retroactive to the beginning of the year of the incident(s) in question, with all donors to such organization having their donations being similarly retroactively treated as NOT being tax deductible. Also, there is to be a fine of $10,000.00 per proven case of fraud.
8) Revocation of “Motor-Voter” law - this ONLY encourages voter fraud. You want to vote, citizen? Good, then make the effort to register to vote with your local or state VOTING authorities.
I believe those people already have to have ID to receive benefits.
