What do they do to avoid double voting? Not asking for ID seems weird...
- nomoreaccoubts 10y agoIn CA, they ask for your name and address when you vote and cross your name off a list.
- mantas 10y agoProbably only citizens are on that list? That'd stop non-citizens from voting I guess.
- maxerickson 10y agoTo vote in a given precinct, you have to be on their list of registered voters or file a provisional ballot. It's unlikely that the election workers in a given polling location would allow a single person to vote and then file a provisional ballot. It turns out most people aren't criminals and don't abuse the opportunity to impersonate another voter.
- AdamN 10y agoIn NYC they have a big giant binder with all the registered voters in the precinct. You sign when voting so can only do it once (unless you vote out-of-precinct). It's extremely old-school but works totally fine.
