[QUOTE="cow451, post: 65319943, member: 308827"] It points out the weakness in the voter registration process. Unless there is some national database, nothing can prevent it. This investigation discovered the problem after the fact. It raises the question, is it illegal to register in North carolina if one is also registered in another state? Voter ID laws, including tohse being proposed, don't address this issue very well: [I][URL="http://www.tcpalm.com/news/2012/oct/14/double-voting-a-real-concern-in-florida/"]That's because the ID requirements are designed to prove you're who you claim to be a U.S. citizen who's allowed to vote and not whether you're registered in only one state, Swan said.[/URL][/I] [I][URL="http://www.tcpalm.com/news/2012/oct/14/double-voting-a-real-concern-in-florida/"]She said when someone moves here from another state such as New York, officials notify the resident's former county that the person is now registered to vote in Florida.[/URL][/I] [I][URL="http://www.tcpalm.com/news/2012/oct/14/double-voting-a-real-concern-in-florida/"]But there's a loophole.[/URL][/I] [I][URL="http://www.tcpalm.com/news/2012/oct/14/double-voting-a-real-concern-in-florida/"]People registering to vote must give their Florida driver's license information or the last four digits of their Social Security number. [/URL][/I] [I][URL="http://www.tcpalm.com/news/2012/oct/14/double-voting-a-real-concern-in-florida/"]This means a scofflaw can lie about where he came from. And he can keep his driver's license from his former state rather than replacing it with a Florida license.[/URL][/I] So, we have to decide whether to go "big government" and have the feds get more involved. And, this type fraud does not seem to benefit one party over another. [/QUOTE]
