You can literally walk into any voting location where you know the name of a voter, and vote in their name. There is no check.
How do I know this? Because every time I have ever voted in NYC, I have walked into the location, given them my name, and voted. There is no check.
This is not some complex security flaw that requires great ingenuity to exploit.
- iAMkenough 2mo agoAnd what do you suppose happens next when you vote in someone else’s name at their specific voting location?
- timr 2mo agoNothing. If the next person comes in to vote after you (which is easy enough to avoid if you use active voter lists), they might issue a provisional ballot. How do they know which voter is lying? They don’t check ID, and the other ballot isn’t associated with a name. You have to be completely ideologically blinkered not to see a problem here.
