I don't understand how this protected my vote since it was printed there in the ledger and was easy enough to read if I hadn't known it already."<br /><br />Needing to state your full name and address <a href="http://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/2009/statutes/statutes/6/III/79/2/a" rel="nofollow">is not new though</a>, it was not a new requirement in 2011 Act 23.<br /><br />"And instead of the old small scanner machine, there was a much bigger machine. This new machine resembled, perhaps intentionally, a garbage cart with an electronic tablet or mini-laptop sitting atop it. <br />And this is when I wondered if my vote was actually being protected."<br /><br />A trivial means of deterring, detecting and correcting voting machine-based election fraud would be to routinely require hand recounts in some modest but randomly-chosen fraction of municipalities, then expanding said recount if discrepancies were found.<br /><br />I'm <i>reasonably</i> confident that <i>most</i> of the machines in use in Wisconsin are not frequently tampered with: there were handcounts for certain types of machine across the state in the recount of the 2011 Kloppenburg/Prosser race, and again in the close 2012 Wanggaard/Lehman recall race in Racine County, and while both races would have been ripe for voting machine election fraud there were only the very few cases of machine-unreadable clear voter intention that you normally see.<br /><br />"We agreed that we are going to have to make sure to allow us enough time to get to the DMV to have our driver licenses changed to the new address"<br /><br />That's only necessary if you're using it to register with though: in voting, <a href="http://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/statutes/statutes/6/III/79/2/a" rel="nofollow">you need to present proof of identification</a>, and proof of identification is one of those listed forms <a href="http://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/statutes/statutes/5/I/02/6m" rel="nofollow">that has your name and your photograph on it</a> (your license has to be unexpired though).<br /><br />But if someone as familiar with the GOP shenanigans as yourself is confused about that, that's clearly the point.GeoffThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17317722272565026078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-1991555768042585582015-07-22T07:55:39.281-05:002015-07-22T07:55:39.281-05:00You don't have to physically go to the DMV any...You don't have to physically go to the DMV anymore to change your address.

The permanent license takes about a week to arrive in the mail.Band Directorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14326178975763404982noreply@blogger.com
