I've voted in mostly small towns 1500 to 5000 total residents including children, everyone knows who you are even if you have not been introduced face to face....NO ONE would even think about trying to steal someone elses vote, by voting in person, in their spot.They do ask for a photo ID where I live. Regardless of my age, gender, or ethnic/racial background, I have managed to acquire the requisite ID.Vetting of the person is suppose to happen when the person registers to vote....not at the polling place e????Bullshit, I voted in a "sanctuary city" and in order to vote in the appropriate polling station, all that the election worker requested from people who didn't have ID's, was a piece of US mail with a name and address on it. How does that prove you are the same person on that paper and if you are a citizen or not? It doesn't.I am from a sanctuary city and an election worker. There is no fraud. The type of nation wide conspiracy you're talking about is far fetched, at best.Anyone believing the corrupt officials in sanctuary cities harboring illegals would break federal law by hiding them but wouldn't also hand them a ballot to vote should probably check in for a lobotomy. This past election since there were numerous reports from nearly every state claiming voter fraud across the country, shouldn't more stringent measures be enforced to control this from happening?
If there is no way to get control and deport illegals holed up in predominately blue areas that continue to harbor them, then at the very least these sanctuary cities should be excluded from the voting process in upcoming elections until they can agree to abide by federal law. Beyond that, voter ID's should be required in all poll places. Maybe since most pollsters probably don't look at ID's good enough, the best way to get a handle on voter fraud which is no doubt rampant, each voter should have to undergo a thumb or eye scan when casting their vote. Also databases should be connected all across the U.S. to ensure people aren't voting multiple times using numerous addresses.
In the states I've lived in and voted, no Id at the polling spot was needed, not even your electric bill was needed.....
In fact, no one in their right mind, criminal or sane, would try to steal someone else's vote by going in to their voting spot, and commit in person voter fraud....only the insane, would risk the felony indictment, the risk of running in to someone else that knew the person they are trying to impersonate is too great a risk.... absentee ballot, would be less risky, though still risky. There is no true purpose to stopping voter impersonation fraud, with mandatory govt issued photo ID at the polling booth....no ID or any ID with your name and address on it like your past couple of electric bills is enough to identify oneself at the voting booth spot.
The VETTING should take place when the State localities receive an application for a voter registration....anyone ineligible to vote, should not be able to vote, and their name should never be approved and make it on to the voter roll roster....that the local voting places use....
