Dem congressman Swalwell wants VOTE BY PHONE.
I used to do some telecom design work and know the phone system well. I'd have to think about it, but offhand, I'd say the idea has some feasibility to it but a system would have to be set up first with parity that could recognize the number, run the account, then have the number of people there eligible to vote that it could take each name out of the database as their vote is registered.
And being wholly machine-oriented, the system would be dependent on key presses and voice-recognition to take all of the related info over the phone. Maybe a person would register to vote by phone, and they could leave the system a sampling of their voice for the computer to voice-match against when voting for better security.
Then there is the problem of the phone system only being designed to handle traffic flows based on average usage patterns. If everybody had to call in all on the same day from 8AM to 8PM to phone in their votes, there would undoubtedly be overflow of resources with a lot of calls kicked out to intercept to call back later and try again. I can see a lot of angry people ending up trying for hours and not getting through or time running out before they registered their vote. Then that would lead to all kinds of lawsuits, no doubt.
Naturally, this would take years to set up and billions to implement with probably more years to get all the bugs out of it. And to think, all it used to take to vote was a simple machine which punched holes in a card.
It would only have go go through innumerable trunk lines to pair-gain, back through the central office mainframes where anybody can access the lines, then through the switches out to the CLECS with about a thousand opportunities per voter to corrupt that database with fraud and cheating.
Yep, another Democrat idea.
One time he looks off and you make a big deal about it, but Bannon looks homeless all the time and gets a pass!
