Is it time for a 'Federal Voter Registration'???

[Rosco T.]

a "I am eligible to vote" and you 'log in' with your local election commission? Which gets logged in with the 'federal voter database'. None of this horsepucky about missing an initial on your name or the address missing "AVE" or anything else.

Federal Voter Registration: I am a legal citizen of the United States, I am eligible to vote.

Local Election Commission: You're registration is here. (with some normal cavets.. you live in the state, county, city, etc...)

If you try to .. er.. Local Dock more than once.. it gets changed at the 'federal voter database' and your old Local is 'undocked'.

1. no, I don't think so

it would be a LOT easier to mess with one big data base. better to keep it local IMO

2. I have more confidence in the Minnesota system than a possible federal system...

...of voter registration.

I think that Election Day Registration at the polls, which we have in MN, is a better solution.

3. NO, the government has taken over WS, our Privacy(or lack of)

the mortgage industry, the banks and just about everything else. The government owns everything in this country except my vote. No thanks.

4. I think so

I live where many retired people spend the spring and summer, then head south for the fall and winter.
I have a feeling some of the people are voting twice (mainly repubs)in the presidential election. We vote strictly by absentee ballot - no polling places at all in this Washington county.

5. NO- Why make it easy to sabotage the election process?

You are lining up all your battleships in one tight little row and making them that much easier to sink.



Right now stealing the election is a logistical nightmare because control of elections is just so decentralized with thousands of individual county registrars applying their state laws from all 50 different states. This decentralization makes it HARD to steal an election.

6. They for sure need a change from this

We need to avoid this fraud at all costs, there needs to be a concrete method for making sure everyone gets a vote and only ONE vote. We should be linked to our registration with fingerprints or something that is uniquely us, this "on the honor system" is a proven failure.
