All of this surveillance should not be necessary. Elections should be reliable and honest. In this day and age of computers, a state ID or driver’s license or U.S passport must be required. All have pictures and photo ID, as well as signature, could be verified at the polling place. Require it, also last 4 digits of social, address verification, DOB. If you want to vote, you will have one of the 3. Driver’s license/state ID, and recent passport pics, last 4 of SS number, address, car insurance, medical insurance can all be linked to prevent fraud. Ballots need to be on watermark paper, coded in such a way that only one person in the BOE in the State knows the validity. Machine counting needs to be on secure machine, unattached to the internet or incapable of being switched. Polling people need to be adequately trained. On the day of voting, I was asked, “Democrat or Republican?” Why do you need to state that out loud? I asked, “What if I wanted to vote for someone who is a Democrat, and the rest Republican? I was told I can’t do that. Then I was told my signatures didn’t match. I said that was impossible-I was #1 at the polls on opening, (I voted in May, and this August special election due to redistricting.). Then she forgot to ask my name and address while scanning my license, and had to be reminded. She then handed me my ballot without scanning the ballot! She was a hot mess! Guess her wearing a mask was depriving her brain of oxygen. There was a man, her supervisor I assume, reminding her (with a scowl on his face) what she needed to do. Also in person voting only unless military or home bound. Employers give this as a mandatory day off so you can vote. If you work in a hospital, your employer needs to approve early leave or late start to accommodate voting, as well as 8 hour shifts that day.
