I heard that mail in ballots do not need identification. Have one show up in your mailbox, open it, mark your choice and scrawl your signature and send it back.
Here is another problem....I like going into the voting booth and checking whichever box I choose and I hope I won't have my perso al info attached to the barcode which is on the ballot. With mail in ballots, there is the ubiquitous bar code on the envelope which attaches a name and address to the ballot.
To me this somehow takes away the anonymity of one's vote. How about just have a pile of ballots at each polling place, check IDs and verify citizenship, and dont print bar codes on the ballots. Then when counting the votes the talley for paper ballots must equal the number of people who received a ballot. If something is off have a complete and thorough accounting of why the two numbers do not match.

This is the title of the DU Post. My title is the response to their OP.
The left Believes that people have to prove citizenship to vote?!? Then why are they against all sensible rules to protect the voter data base to purge non-citizens, duplicates,dead people, and made up people? ?

BUT each ballot needs to be connected to a real person who IS a registered voter.
The person's vote is still "private" but the fact that a real person voted a unique valid ballot is preserved.
