LETTERS FROM OUR READERS
A method of halting voter fraud
When a person is born in this country, the person automatically becomes a citizen of the United States and is given a birth certificate. This should be used for voter ID. When reaching voting age, that birth certificate could be taken to the DMV for a picture and fingerprints. Then a “right-to-vote” card would come from Washington, DC. Someone coming from another country must become a United States citizen before being given that right. They too must register to get a right-to-vote card. When going into the voting booth, the card is slip into the machine, as we would at a gas station. If the card is accepted, after typing in the pin number, we can vote. A slip will be printed showing we voted and that it counted. If a person tries to vote a second time, the card would automatically be ejected and a slip printed out saying your vote was not counted, you have voted once and will prosecuted if you try voting again.
