Is it time to revisit my voting system work? I think it is. A thread on the Help America Vote Act.
-
-
HAVA requires that states periodically maintain their voter records. So they purge duplicate entries (e.g. when someone moves) etc.
-
HAVA also allows people to cast provisional ballots in the event of a registration issue. These ballots are held aside and not used...
-
...unless the election is close. And then they are evaluated to see if they are valid.
-
HAVA requires some form of identification the first time someone votes in a federal election: a bill, a photo ID, etc. are all acceptable.
-
The National Voter Registration Act requires voters to register using a common form and assert that they are a citizen.
-
In addition, HAVA requires state election agencies to coordinate with other state databases. What this means is voting == paper trail.
-
The paper trail for voting is so thorough that some of my friends cannot vote for fear of being doxed by GGers.
-
You know what illegal immigrants definitely don't do? Build a huge paper trail held in state databases and then commit federal crimes.
-
I have enough "woke" friends who refuse to vote because they think it's pointless and we think illegal immigrants will risk jail to vote?
-
Meanwhile, we have a report co-authored by the NSA, CIA, and FBI that find Russian interference occurred beyond a shadow of a doubt.
-
By the way, the Chairs of the Election Assistance Commission are presidential nominees, so uh, maybe he should get on that.
