[QUOTE="Joe, post: 205270, member: 9"] Not sure what happened. Tho I've indicated to you on many occasions that I think the USA needs election reform. But that would entail that your privacy might also disappear, as every ballot would be marked and traceable by anybody back to its owner. everybody's identity and whom they voted for would be known. If a large portion the USA electorate believes there are suspected cases of voter fraud, then it should implement a tracing system like FEDEX tracks its packages. So you'd know when the yvoted, how they did, where the ballot was cast, when it was picked up and when it was counted. People might not like that, but if they want fair and honest elections whoever every vote counts & verified, then they have to be willing to give up their privacy as well. Would you be willing to that, Lokmeer? Have the government id and fingerprint everything you do whenever you walk into a voting booth, videotape you, then ask for some RFID with a chip in it and phone you while they're at it? It'd also be very expensive too and no doubt the government would ask for more taxes to implement such a system. And I know how many Americans feel about paying more taxes. [/QUOTE]
