I’m generally against compulsory anything, but it seems reasonable to me that you should vote if you want to receive government benefits. Of course, many receiving benefits are democrats (as Mitt Romney pointed out) so this might be counterproductive...
Store the retinal scans on secure servers (!), and assign each a bar code that must match the Voter ID card bar code.
If the voter shows up on Election Day, rescan voter's retina before letting the voter in. If it's a match, OK, voter votes. If no match, person must be turned away. No provisional ballot crap.
No early voting, no mail-in voting. No ID, no vote.
No signatures needed.
Voting procedure: paper ballots only. Ballot must be immediately recordable, verifiable, and have a paper trail.
Once voter is out of the booth, that's it. The vote must be machine-scanned and counted at that time only, only once, at that precinct. If they can build a chute or dumbwaiter to transfer the ballot from each voting booth directly to the scanner (with no humans monkeying around with the ballot), so much the better.
Voter must have a purple finger, or whatever works to show that the person voted, BEFORE leaving the precinct.
Ballots must NOT leave the precinct until all have been scanned, and the number of ballots verified to match the number of voters who showed up that day.
Counties add up all of their precincts' votes. Leaking any subtotals ahead of time shall be a crime. Muck the fedia.
States add up all counties' sums. Leaking any subtotals ahead of time shall be a crime. Muck the fedia.
Each state's total votes shall be announced by noon the following day, by each Secretary of State. These are final and certified. No bullcrap with 'lost or found ballots' allowed.
Exceptions may be made for those with no retinae, or those who can prove they are physically unable to reach the voting location. However, their ballots must be received by express courier before the poll-closing deadline.
SHUT DOWN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
This author seems to think voter participation is an important metric. Unfortunately I believe that the US participation numbers are low because they use either total US population or total register voters as the denominator. The US has a significant number of people who are not eligible to vote for various reasons, and our voter rolls are a mess with many people registered in multiple states (vast majority of which only vote in one), along with a lot of people on the rolls who are no longer resident in the precinct they are registered in (dead or moved).
I suspect that if proper numbers were actually to be determined the US participation rate would be between 60 and 70%
Lessons Taken from the Recent U.S. Election Mess
The lessons are clear. The Democrat party has become the following:
Operate from the gutter. Destroy, Destroy.
Lie daily because it is part and parcel of their DNA.
They as a group are not worth the space they take up.
They are as corrupt or more then the Organized Crime we all know of.
The destruction of them is the only way to save America. Because it is so close to being lost right now.
