Re: biometrics to vote

I don't think so. You certainly don't want a one to many search on presenting your name at the voting booth. And a one to one search implies paying for a smart card with biometrics. The whole idea of an effective democracy is not to maintain the secret ballot, and not erect barriers to vote. Besides, this industry doesn't really want to get caught up in this debate -- it can only lose.

Finally, just how would you qualify absentee voters under this system? I don't think you can. Buck would be robbed again!
