The Photo ID Voter Roster

[phrodeau]

Instead of issuing cards to every eligible voter, here is a better idea.

Every county collects photos of all eligible voters and compiles rosters for the polling precincts. Store them electronically to save paper and make cross-referencing easier. Provide each precinct with a device that can access the database.

Photos could be collected at the polling sites after confirming eligibility in the usual way. When felonious convictions are made, they can be easily edited out of the roster. Address changes can be made through property tax records or driver's licenses.

After three or four voting cycles, the photo database would be nearly complete. Voters need only confirm their identities, and poll workers could check the photo. When a voter's appearance has changed, a new photo is taken on the spot to replace the old one.

Eventually, a photo on file can be required for voting, with same-day photo-taking and registering permitted. Nobody would need to carry ID's, and the politicians will get the voter fraud reduction that they want so desperately.

Seems like a lot of work when a national ID would do the trick.

Why not just put their picture on the voting card? It would also serve as a free photo id for the poor so they do not have to pay $10 to get a state ID for banks/airports/...

If they would just implant a chip into everyone..........

 

[Tryharder62]

It does sound good to me. It would be hard to gather all the pictures though. You can't even get it done for the church directory around here.

It would be less work than issuing photo voter ID cards.

Wrong yellow-neck. Your way every voters pic would have to be found and checked.

Honestly do not see how......

Not voter ID cards, but a national ID.

[jeninflorida]

what would be better, is requiring people to show a valid state issue ID and a IRS return. if they didn't pay any taxes, well you can not vote.

now we just need to figure out how to make government employees and union fucktards illegal citizen of ObamaLand

[koalabear]

Surprised to see how many do not realize they may already have a national I.D..

 

[Liar]

Not voter ID cards, but a national ID.

Or just a national ID standard. So that any ID that meets the criteria is an ID. Be it driver's license, gun permit, passport, bank issued, whatever.

I use my passport, it's valid ID for everything that requires identification.

 

[bronzeage]

It would be less work than issuing photo voter ID cards.

I carry a voter ID card every where I go and have done so since I was 17. I presented it to the poll worker when I voted in my first election, after turning 18, and have done so for the past 38 years. It hasn't stopped me from voting.

If Louisiana can do it, any state can do it.

Okay, maybe Florida, but anybody else.

What do you think they have to do now?

Do people in your precinct just grab a ballot and vote? Or do they need to check in and find their name on a list?

Do you imagine that a voter ID card requirement would allow the precincts to eliminate the rosters? Go climb a tree.

We show Photo I.D. drivers license then vote.

Do you still need to be checked off of a roster?

 

[phrodeau]

I doubt it. I think it's more like this:

You show your ID.
A poll worker lugs out a book and leafs through it until he finds your name.
You look in the book to check their info, and sign it somewhere.
Then and only then do you get access to the ballots.

Books already on the desk, turned to my page. They know me, yet I still have to show I.D..

 

[LiFeNdEaTh]

uuuugh....i lost my I.D

...but i still got my glasses on..

They check my ID and match my address on the roster. I sign the line by my name and it's all done.

All I'm suggesting is that they put the photo in the book, so I don't need to carry a card.

 

[hogjack]

Yes, compiling an image database of several hundred thousand aesthetically unpleasing voters (i.e. ugly fuckers) is good for democracy.

Uh. No.

You suggest adding another layer to the process. Fail.
