It should all be electronic, is what should happen. Possibly with fingerprint verification or something: log-in with your fingerprint which is taken when you register to vote.

Unlike voter ID laws... that wouldn't be constiutional.

You'd be pitting your right to vote against your 5th ammendment right to protect yourself against self incrimination... as the new Voter ID fingerprint database would suddenly be the largest in the world.

Or at least something the ACLU would argue as such anyway.  Makes more sense then photo Ids being unconsitutional anyway.

Or you could just implement these ideas, one new one every election, and actually never have them used for anything. Like fake security cameras.

Fingerprints don't actually do anything, but it makes people think that it did.

That just feels like a giant waste of time and money to get around doing something that is really uncontroverisal among the american people, and in general outside of political hysterics.

Also, it wouldn't work after the first time.

You attempt to fake fingerprint people, MAYBE be lucky in that the court case doesn't happen until after the election, find out the whole thing was a ploy... and then who's going to believe the next one?
