[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having a state or federal issued ID is reasonable in order to vote. The ID number, issuance authority, individual’s name, and issuance date can be entered on a mail in ballot or captured at time of in person voting. These items can then be cross-referenced at time of vote counting by participating parties and an independent body. This will prevent duplicative voting. It will not prevent dead people voting, but nothing is perfect. As far as the cost to get an ID ... this is minimal even for the very poor. If there needs to be a free ID program for the indigent, then that can be set up. Additionally, independent voting location/machine fraud audits should be conducted in a timely manner using statistical anomalies to drive hand counting. No pure electronic voting. Always a scantron so manual verification can be conducted if/when needed. [/quote]

The Dominion system, ironically, is very safe. It is merely scanning and counting.

It is the ES&S systems that are hackable and manipulable, and yet, we don't hear a word out of the GOP about those. They use them in SC (Hi Lindsay) and Kentucky (Hi Mitch) where there are plenty of voting irregularities that we don't hear about.

There should always be paper back-ups for audits. Dominion provides those, ES&S doesn't.

And the way mail-in voting works, it is consistent with what you have described. We don't hear about fraud votes or issues in Utah, Washington, Oregon or Hawaii, where mail-in voting has been the norm for years. We should use their protocols more universally.[/quote]
