Just because someone is able to tell you a zip code does not mean they reside in that district. I know several zip codes of places I send mail to frequently and yet I have never lived there. A more thorough way would be to have an original bill from the local energy company at a place of residence along with current ID. Then checked in a database. However even this is not 100% surety that the town hall participant resides at the place where they say they do.

Anything created by man can be subjected to the fraud of man.

True, but the majority of people who are coming in from out of town won't know the local zip code. These aren't voting booths or anything major, it's just a small easy measure to help keep out some of the fake protestors.

My method works. It worked in the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew.

I didn’t say it was foolproof. Anyone who says a given method is foolproof underestimates the genius of fools.

You got a better one tells us about it. Otherwise, it is better to light candles than merely to curse darkness.
