One needs to show valid ID in order to register to vote. Each voter is then assigned a registration number or ID. After any election, computers check to make sure that there are not plural ballots under a single registration ID. And if there are for example two ballots for the same individual then both should be thrown out. But how can you throw the two out unless you can hunt them down, or hunt down their facsimiles -- and affect changes against the necessary candidate tallies. If you can succeed at finding those ballots based on their reg#s then there is clearly a way to connect a citizen to his ballot and so the system DOES know how everyone has voted - aha! There are doubtless legal safeguards in place to prevent that information from leaking out. Is my analysis correct? Where did I go wrong? [It's crystal clear that on election day, poll workers can't afford to be slowed down by meticulous checking of driver's licenses, rent receipts, pay stubs and what-have-you.]
I messaged a member of the staff asking that this thread be moved to where I intended it to appear (yet I made a boo-boo) under Political Opinions sub-forum. Nothing has happened. So Dear Moderators: kindly move this terrific scintillating thread to the appropriate sub-forum.
