A logical way to return to a simple and effective voting system:
- One day voting. No electronic devices (including cell phones) will be allowed.
- Photo ID must be presented and verified.
- Voter role books are signed by voter.
- Signature is immediately verified by existing voter role registry (separate area).
- Paper ballot is then filled out by voter and placed in secure container.
- Votes are counted on premises by citizens.*
- Citizen counters will be selected the same as jury duty members in advance. They are subjected to Voltaire in order to weed out the unqualified.
NO ELECTRONIC TABULATORS USED.
We need something similar to this folks. What do you think?
That would apply to #5. Good idea.
I don't like the Q-codes/barcodes. These are a hack waiting to happen.
I think we should post the human readable, raw data, paper ballot images online.
Have it to where ONLY the voter can check THEIR ballot online.
Paper tears, at the time of vote, would be hard for a computer algorithm to fake and doable to check by a human in lots of 100.
With the right side tear, a person could verify (with their receipt) that THEY were the person that voted and could challenge fake entries.
This is a "many eyes" approach.
The right side of the ballot would be your voter role (to be posted online)
The difference is that it's forensically matched to the receipt with the tear.
