ive been seeing these though
LOL man that would be hilarious if it happens in more areas LOL
im so mixed on voter id
i mean i get the reasoning for the push for it
its just when u dont have any mandated photo id
part of me thinks that having confirmation of citizenship and residency is good but then non-citizens cant even register to vote anyway so
like even here the only one that is semi gouvt mandated is medicare cards that have photo but u actually dont have to buy into the system and dotn get a card from it
so if u dont have a drivers licence or passport then youre fucked
in canadia
i poll worked the primary so the Ids where used to cross reference voter info
that moment too when they ask for multiple peices of photo ID yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah
with poll book data
birth cirtificate doesnt work cuz its got no photo so unless u spend all that fucking money that if youre broke you dont have then youre fucked by the gouvt
"Today, far-right conservatives are using outrage on the left to conduct a nefarious prank, demanding voter ID laws in upcoming elections to “prevent Russian interference.”"
Huh? "far-right conservatives" How do we know it's a conservative operation? Because it's clearly right-wing twitter users promoting it.
"On the face of it, the meme seems like a convincing argument, which is what makes the prank work. Russian agents attempt to interfere with the election. If only verified U.S. citizens can vote, the problem is solved."
I mean. It *is* an argument. And it doesn't strike me as unconvincing.
"It’s a movement that would help Republicans tremendously. In pushing it as a joke for Democrats to try and adopt, they are hoping the party sabotages themselves.
But by doing so, they are also referencing the things that they are loathed to admit. The president has been adamant in a few things: that he didn’t collude with Russia and that Russian interference (if it even existed) in 2016 did nothing to alter the vote totals."
*You spin me right round baby right round, like a record baby right round, round, round*
poll books have your name and address which you match with the id
Yeah, in this day and age though, name and address can be mined nearly instantly.
if someone changed that they cannot vote in that polling place
there are percedures
their info has to match whats in the pollbooks
or they cannot vote
Ultimately, it's just hard to prevent fraud.
I had a Union election. The Union made sure to check and double check every single person with ID. Photo ID and designated polling place.
doesnt help that electric ballots arent safe
Are paper ballots safe?
we use paper and a scanner which is more secure
What security measures are in place for those?
Which primary was this, may I ask?
basically fill out the ballot with your marks then put it in a scanner that counts the votes based on the scan
I really don't see how that's different from any other digital method
asking me to dox myself lel
?
I was curious what state and party mostly.
Since states have different procedures and parties treat things differently in each state.
im messing
Virginia
it was two party primary
scanner drops ballots into a cabinet and at the end of the voting period, we collect the paper
scanner then prints multiple receipts recording the votes
So really it's more of an automated vote counter.
and to my knowledge there is no known way to hack these scanners compared to the electric booths
yea
