My Proposal: An Elections Integrity Act. [View All]

[Silverhair]

We have an opportunity now. Believe it or not, the RW rank & file are extremely concerned about election fraud too. They are convinced that Democrats committed massive voter fraud and the Bush really won by a greater margin. They think that we had a bunch of phony registrations. They also believe that Move-on people committed voter intimidation. Never mind what we think about that claim, THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT THEY BELIEVE IT!!!! And they want measures that would stop that kind of fraud.

And of course, many of us believe that this election was stolen. We want honest vote counting, simple registration, and no voter intimidation.

So here is my proposal. Your driver's license, or if you don't have one - a DMV issued ID card, would have a bar code on it and your fingerprint. It would also be your voter registration card. On election season, (A two week period) you could go to any voting machine and vote. You would have to enter your card and put you finger on a reader, and also an attendant would have to look at your picture on the card. That would satisfy the everybody that only genuine live citizens were voting. The machine, even if you were in a different state, would bring up your correct ballot on touch screen. After you voted, but before you hit "Enter" it would print out a paper ballot that you could see under a clear shield. If it conformed to how you had actually voted, you would "Enter" it. Then the ballots would be automatically folded and sealed, then mailed to the proper precinct. The paper ballots would be counted to verify them against the instant machine totals.

A police presence at each polling place would be required, to stop intimidation.

That should give us honest elections. I don't think it is too much to ask of someone that to vote they need to go get a voter ID card in advance.

I think the RW rank & file would get on board something like this too.
