Reply #15: Inspired idea, but I have to add another "But..."

but... they could pad the votes with new unique ID numbers or duplicate numbers for those who voted for the same (undesirable) candidate, assigning the 'extra' vote to their favored candidate.

About paper ballots: Let's not forget that several Ohio BOEs participated in illegal activity, including the so-called Democratic members. Can't you see some small backwoods towns padding the votes in plain view, with full consent of the community. Paper ballots are part of the only acceptable solution, but it ought to go with such measures as broadsact/webcast/uninterrupted videotaping of ballot boxes and polling places from opening through final count; observers from outside the community; clear procedures where the security has lapsed; non- or bi-partisan adjudication of questionable ballots (Blackwell really screwed us there); and probaby a lot more than that.

I'm not really so opposed to picture ID requirements, as long as if they're required vote voting they're also free and made easy for everybody to acquire, in an equitable fashion. Could just see Miami police temporarily confiscating IDs from black citizens (perhaps at the road blocks or home raids that have been institutionalized in Jebland). The flip side is people voting for people who did not show up.
