I am okay with tightening up voter registration. That will actually have an impact on voter fraud.Utterly absurd. The verification is the prospective voter's sworn statement.
How is the state going to verify that the presented verification of address is not fake?
So now you want an FBI background check on every prospective voter to verify the address? At some point no matter how you do it - someone is taking someone's word for it.
You do realize that don't you?
So if that proves your point - then you have been arguing against address requirements ???
Odd.
I am also okay with a proper purging of voter registration rolls. This will remove the deceased and those who have moved out of the voting district. Key word: proper. Some of the purges have been done incompetently. But when done properly, this will prevent someone voting in a deceased or relocated person's name.
I also like the electronic system that has been put in place in several states that keeps track of when someone has voted so if they try to vote in more than one place, it triggers an alert. This has actually caught fraudsters.
Not only am I okay with these things, I think we should be doing them in earnest.
Voter ID has not done shit. It is a waste of taxpayer dollars.
Why in the WORLD do we need voter registration at all. You show up where you are supposed to vote, you show your ID and poof you're okay to vote. The idea of voter registration is obsolete.
In fact, I wish they would go further and do away with polling places altogether. Vote online says I.
