An online voter ID is a disruptive technology that would revolutionize the voting cycle and reduce voting costs and time while offering more transparency and limiting voter fraud. Basically the concept is that bio-metric and location information are attributed to each voter before, during and after the voting process. This would enable more transparency and reduce voter fraud and might eliminate the need for mail in vote. Another feature of this technology is the enabling of same day voting and counting and more frequent voting alternatives on major issue legislation.
The opposition to online voter ID technologies comes from politicians that benefit from undocumented voting, census fraud,. ballot harvesting and also favoritism from state contractors that are already milking overspending tax payers money on hardware, software, transportation, massive “counters” hiring and printing houses. Paradoxically, this technology is environment friendly and reduces the use of paper and energy. Nevertheless, progressive (Environmental Politics and Governance) politicians oppose online voter ID because it would harm their reelection chances and would eliminate the use of mail in vote and other voting business shenanigans.
