It probably does. Nonetheless, I could vote multiple times in your state. You have no photo-ID system, nor do you have a reliable database to consult. You have no measures in place to ensure that I don't vote under a different identity, provided that I have an SS number, which could easily obtain from others. I don't even need to know which state you live in to make such an assertion. Election official or no, you do not have the means to identify me. I could vote in another county under a different and totally valid name and SS# and you would be none the wiser. You have no means to cross-reference my identity, not that I'd ever do such a thing.

Don't take my word for it, though. Just look at the number of voter-fraud cases. Those people managed to get past people just like you with little difficulty. Intelligent as you are, you place too much faith in your abilities and those of others.

So maybe a person could vote, what, maybe 5 to 10 times using that exploit? I'd think any more would just invite getting caught. Well if so it'd still take literally an army of conspirators doing that to have a material effect on even state or local elections, let alone the national ones.

No worries, I don't.

I did, found some of the questions a bit to much in the grey area.

I use to be a hook, line and sinker GOP member, although I voted for a few state and local Dems.

Our government reminds me of a past employee I once had. Him and his wife fought like hell over everything, neither giving. They were divorcing and fighting over their few goods and trailer home. She wanted half. He actually got drunk, took a chainsaw and cut the thing in half, even caught on fire. In the end fighting over having to have it their way, nothing was left...That's what government has done, except were the ones with nothing left.

As I said elsewhere, I don't fit in with either party. Government as is has become so partisan, I don't ever see them doing anything. Both groups have some decent ideas on some things, but to admit the other side has ideas means they may get credit and neither side wants the other to have any credit, because it equals political points..

I'm much more liberal as I've gotten older, simply, I don't feel I have to force or judge people to live by my morals.

The fact is this next election will only show how bad and partisan things are.
