With the intersection between 96% with cellphones that need an ID and all the other places where an ID is needed the percentage without an ID will be much less than 4%. For instance, it seem fair to assume someone without a cell phone is po

Simple solution: each voter is given a receipt of their choices and a unique signature for it, and an online website where they can check that their signature was taken into account in the final tally. With that a fraudsters model have to d

What makes CA and NYC politics better? A place where you struggle to house and educate your family on a six figure salary seems to be sorely lacking. To me it seems like we are doing terrible where it matters; - cost of living is terrible
