You have an entire post about different forms of fraud. And then you write this...


It would be a simple thing to have a national voter ID card that you're required to scan to vote. Problem solved.

Talk about credibility destruction. Like you have any, but I digress.

Your suggestion would only address what seems to be the least likely form of fraud. AND then you pronounce the problem solved. Near as we can determine, that form of fraud is vanishingly rare. In fact, the majority of it seems to be those with Republican leanings out to "prove" how easy and widespread it is. Which is sort of funny when you think of it.

Interesting that you use the Russians as an example. Exactly how would your card stop this kind of fraud?

There are other forms of voter fraud that not only exist, but is a growing problem. Take absentee voting fraud. It exists. I happens in measurable numbers. It wouldn't be stopped by your card. And it seems to be practiced exclusively by Republicans. At least they are the only ones who seem to be caught by it.

And then there is the form of fraud that apparently is being used in the state of Kansas. No proof other than statistical anomalies that are hard to explain otherwise. It would be easy to prove, but the state of Kansas is stonewalling over providing the materials for an audit.

Oh yeah, the state of Kansas is run by Republicans, the Teahadi branch, to be more accurate.

Your card would be useless to stop that form of fraud also.
