Signatures do not cut it. Just look at your signature on those digital pads when you purchase by credit card. All persons should have to provide proof of citizenship when registering to vote, and then proof of ID (picture form of ID) when you actually vote. The military living overseas fills out an absentee ballot and it has to be certified with witness signature before it is mailed. No one should have mail in voting unless they are not able to vote in their resident state. The honor system does not cut it.

Yes Yes Yes - Now I believe you. There was wide spread voter fraud in the state of Florida because no one needed proof of citizenship or proof of residency. Lots of people even voted twice (because they were told to by potus). I'm with you brother. So you are saying that it's very possible that those electoral collage votes might have been meant go to the other guy.

Won't happen. There is a Barcode on every ballot that is scanned just like getting on a plane. You also could be charged with voter fraud, getting prison time.

You have to show a picture ID to fly on an airplane, to cash a check, to purchase booze and cigarettes, to open a bank account, to receive certain medications, to get a loan, to purchase a firearm, and a number of other things so what is the problem with showing one to vote?

The problem is in the title of the thread. If you have to present a photo ID to vote, then it would make it more difficult for those who want to make a fraudulent vote.

Or how about one candidate wins 90% of the counties in a State but still lose the State...

Somehow, I'm not at all surprised.

We are all frustrated, not depressed though. Don’t worry it’ll be over soon.

[New Englander]

I believe there is both voting fraud and vote counting fraud.

[Gulfcoast]

I think that there have been some sketchy things going on with the vote count in other states. I am proud of the way Florida handled the entire election process. If Florida can get an election night result, so should the other states.

I saw a joke on Facebook today that said something to the effect of we should have hired the staff from Chick-fil-A, the counting would have been done two days ago. They are so efficient!

Could this have gone any other way? A mess till the end!

You can't vote twice on the same bar code. Also when you register they do not use a digital signature.

What about when you show up without an ID and you use a provisional ballot? How can they create a specialized bar code for provisional ballots? Also, validating a ballot by comparing two signatures seems to me to be a very subjective and inaccurate method.

I think there has many more instances of voter suppression. Much more damaging as well.

Voter suppression and racist. The two most overused words from mainstream media.

With all those ivy league talking heads espousing their opinions, could not they think of something any more original?

Guess not.
