Did ANYONE answer the question asked earlier on HOW the government pictured voter id required at the polls that republicans are pushing WOULD STOP absentee fraud?
IT WON'T stop the fraud where the fraud is occurring.....
we are being had
and no one gives a hoot....
It may cut down on multiple registrations.
Admittedly, it will have little effect on absentee fraud, but jailing those caught and prohibiting them from ever working on elections again should have an effect. Maybe five years for each count and a felony record?
There's really little way to prevent, or even estimate the prevalence of individual voter fraud without a photo ID. Unless someone cast a vote in your name and you arrive later and find your name crossed off the list, no one would ever know. I would also think that poll workers should have no access to the party affiliation of voters when they show up to vote. It would cut down on the possibility of preferential treatment or abuse of authority.
Maybe the alternative to voter ID laws would to photograph all voters when they register and each, say 5 years thereafter and call up those photos when a voter shows up to vote. After all, everyone registers in person, do they not?
Or would you rather people just walk in, cast a vote and walk out, without any verification at all.
Death certificates should be forwarded to the registrars of their place of residence and names stricken immediately. If they're not stricken, there's no way without a photo ID to keep anyone from voting in place of their dead relative or neighbor. The vote will never be challenged.
