Random Thought of the Day
With all the uproar about mail-in ballots and other voting issues, the solution seems pretty simple to me. Every official vote should require your name, social security number, an address (or voting state/county), and where feasible, a picture, all recorded anonymously in a national voting computer system. When you think about it, this would solve every potential fraud issue, as you’d assure:
1. Each voter is a citizen over 18, registered to vote.
2. No one is voting twice.
3. All voters are alive.
4. No one is voting in a district outside their residence.
It be very easy to write programs to cross-check all votes for the entire country to make sure no shenanigans are going on. The pictures could be used with statistical audit models to add even more accuracy. Sure, there would be hiccups when first setting up the system, but most of the information should be easy to pull from the social security administration, DMV, and passport systems, among others. People could login to their own accounts to check the vote is indeed recorded correctly.
I’m guessing this is just one solution of many, but the key to combating fraud is obviously cross-checks and verification. Gee, I wonder what party would fight such a solution? 🤔

Addressing voter fraud is an important thing, but imagine if the nation operated as intended in that the very clearly written constraints on executive, congressional, and judicial power in the Constitution, were actually respected and obeyed by the folks who ALL took oaths to uphold and protect. Imagine if, like it was only 110 years ago, when the only real interaction you had with the federal government was when you got your mail (no income taxation, no federal regulatory apparatus, no central bank control of the money supply, no failed war on drugs, no failed war on poverty, no failed war on illiteracy, etc.). Everyone is deeply terrified of the outcome of this coming election not just because they know that rampant voter fraud will be the norm, but because there is no escaping federal tyranny over every second of our lives. The founding fathers envisioned a nation of sovereign states that utilized the federal government to help them do what they could not do alone (yes, a misguided theory). Now the states find themselves the slaves to the federal government, along with their citizens, and have no hope for escape. Complete dissolution of the federal government and restoration of 50 state sovereignty, would be a far better thing to work towards than honest voting. In the end, even with honest voting, the federal government will still be the leviathan that destroys our freedom and our liberties on a daily basis (regardless of which major party is in power).
