California Seeks to Make Vote Fraud a Little Easier

What could go wrong?

The election of the future may look very, very different from what we are used to today.

And it may be a lot cheaper!

• A bill is working its way through Sacramento which would allow people to register to vote online. Under Senate Bill 397, citizens would supply their voter information online and the county elections office would use the voter’s signature from the Department of Motor Vehicles to verify authenticity.  It could save a bundle (more on that in a minute).
• And rather than lining up at the local polling place to cast ballots, people would be  simply popping ballots in the mail. In Orange County, the majority of voters – 52 percent — cast ballots by mail in the last major election (that was for governor last November). Statewide, it was more than 48 percent. In OC alone, the savings could be $200,000 per election.

So, we exchange a more secure election for a few dollars in savings...which of course will be lost when more Democrats are elected to office. The circle of political life.
