Usa do you know what it would take to have a nationwide uniformed legitimate verifiable voting/polling system?

An amendment to the constitution. Congress can only pass so many laws about voting, because in general elections are left up to the states. There's very little way for Congress to make anything uniform if it is left up to the states.

Problem is that regardless of what system you use their is always going to be someone smart enough to figure out a way to cheat it.  \n\nE-machines with paper backup (signed by voter) might be a more reliable system

That would mean they would know how to work a voting machine.\n\nThis keeps being proven that they can't

Do you mean registering to vote?   Electoral Votes are established for each state, not based on registration. I believe.

Demand a paper trail is installed. Actually the most reliable voting machines are machines that are ballot assist machines. Essentially a voting machine with a paper trail that doesn't store a voting tally. Instead it prints out scan sheets to be counted by another machine that a voter would submit as a ballot. \n\nSo voting machines work, they just need a paper trail. We need to get every state to have a paper trail in the future. \n\nThere is nothing that can be done for this election other than doing your best to make sure your vote counts.

Any problems with voter fraud?  I would think the Demorats could have a field day, going around taking peoples ballots out of their mail boxes and filling them in for them.

Yeah, good idea, promote the idea of damaging voting machines online where searching for you is a piece of cake.  But in the hypothectical, I would aviod pipes and the like because well everyone has metal detectors, the capacitor might require you to be at the machine's back to work properly and forget the napalm, a better choice is Hydrofluric acid on fire, you put water on it and it gets bigger.

elcetions are the best way. Nothing makes you authority more legitimite than beeing chosen by the people. After free elections of course.

Yes I definitely think they need to be bought in the US from a government contractor.  Boy, this globalism is really getting out of hand, on security issues.  First the ports, then this.\n\nBy the way, I had been planning on voting early by machine.  I guess I'd better look into the software first...

Our number one focus and priority should be on gaining control of financial security with equal access to wealth for all legal citizens plus putting on hold any immigration and removal of the illegal current ones! Our voting system is not legitimate,honest or trustworthy in its current chaotic form! We need grassroots honest election process!Total Government Reform etc! Taking the money "power" control from the current structure would reverse the control by a minority and giving it to the Majority for equal access! The environment is a big issue however you have to remove the oil corporations strangle hold from switching to hydrogen gas/fuel cell Water is the answer cause it is the one natural source that recycles itself and does not leave or endanger the earths atmosphere but control of money by the majority is of the nations best interest and ultimate priority!

It is very disconcerting to hear that many of the new voting machines do not give receipts, or copies to the voters, or to anyone else.  If there is a malfunction or fraud, there will be no way to verify the results and there will be no possibility for a recount.  This may cast a big cloud over the election for voters in either party, but especially for the losers.  I don't like that news.

What? Is this for real? What are your sources? I don't think they could ever take the right to vote away. There would be too many people against it. There would be an enormous uprising. So, realistically speaking it could never happen.

it prolly could not happen with our system of checks and balances.  \n\npeople do vote, just in small numbers (about 50%).  \n\nthe problem is that the rest of us know how those 50% will vote so it doesnot matter what we say  because of the electoral college.  \n\nthere is still a huge process of candidates within political parties running against each other.  a whole party would decide to allow a dictator to run for election.

I'd like to see that happen. In my state, you have to be registered a month ahead of time. I find this prevents a lot of younger people from voting because it's usually their first election and they either don't know you have to wait or just lose track of time.

There is one thing for  sure. There should always be a paper vote. There is no way to verify results without one.  Do not use a ballot with chads, just a plain piece of paper. with a hole punched in it. That eliminates the BS we all suffered during the 2000 election. Next, the ballots should be counted right there,  With representatives from both parties present. Not allowed by law to be moved. And finally, All voters must present a voter I.D. That would resolve most voter fraud.
