(12,041 posts)I am certainly not arguing against increased participation, I don't even know where you would get that idea. I am upset because I don't feel the current process accommodates voters, it was very difficult to vote last night and I think voting needs to be made a whole lot easier.
As for verification, simple verification such as what happens at the polls in the General Elections is needed to prevent ballot stuffing. I am not suggesting anything burdensome, I am strongly opposed to voter ID for example, but simply signing a form stating that you live at an address and then having the person who witnessed you signing that form give you a ballot is a good verification.
And for the record I am not suggesting any votes were tampered with, but I do not feel there were any real safeguards in place to prevent tampering.
