Seems like a great idea.

Are fingerprints racist?

My last thread starting of the night. This was too good and didn't see it on FR.

Return the vote to property owners. Have them bring their property tax bill and valid ID. Solved.

I’ve never been fingerprinted, and I’m not starting now.

California will submit 1.5 million smeared smudged fingerprints and claim that zero illegals voted.

“Return the vote to property owners.”

Okay, but those who don’t “own property” then shouldn’t have to pay taxes or serve in the military even in wartime. No vote = no rights = no responsibility.

Requiring purple ink on the finger would help as well.

The idea would be helpful, but it would not stop the viable type of voter fraud, and that is harvesting of early and absentee ballots.

A fraudster does not have to go to the polls; he just fills out the ballots and sends them in.

Fraudulent poll workers can just fill out ballots for people who do not vote, and put them into the machines.

It is much easier than going poll to poll to poll.

Good idea.
Better idea: Take a photograph of each voter and compare the no. of votes with the no. of photos at each station.

This is a bad idea. People who have never been arrested shouldn’t be put in a database.
Fingerprints taken for private employment shouldn’t be put in a database either.

Ask the Ifags who use their fingerprints to unlock their Iphones...

Want to end voter fraud?

ID needed for voting

No Drivers License registration no drive up registration.

All voter registration ends 2 weeks prior to election

Entire voter rolls are cleared every 10 years. Re-register to vote every 10 years.

No absentee ballots except for overseas deployed military

Good idea.
Better idea: Take a photograph of each voter and (a) compare the no. of votes with the no. of photos at each station, (b) check for duplicates using biometrics.

Insufficient. Fingerprints won't fix:

Not saying it won't help. Just don't think it's a cure-all. You need a comprehensive approach.

And who is going to pay for the thousands of live scan machines, modems, and VPN connections?

Yes agreed. I was suggesting a draconian measure because it seems to be too hard to require U.S. citizenship to vote.

= = = = = = = = = = = = =
I like this idea also.

HOWEVER, my cynical mind conjures up an image of roving gangs in possession of bottles of purple ink and waylaying obvious not ‘Hillary or some other such slug’ voters....

But I guess it could work both ways.... <: <: <:
