We can put a vehicle on Mars. Can’t we fix voting integrity? – theday.com

We have a Rover driving around Mars sending us sights and sounds of an alien world that is truly a technical marvel. So why, with this level of technology,cant we devise a hi-tech voting system?

Instead of expanding a stone-age, paper mail-in voter system presently, asnowunder consideration, why not voter ID cards with multiple security features similar to credit cards thathave been protecting untold trillions of transactions securely for years? Voters could cast their ballots securely and then also be able to check their ballots integrity throughout the election process.

A secure, digital, and transparent voting system could eliminate our present-day, divisive suspicions of voter fraud and conspiracies born out of archaic, paper ballots. Or do we want to retain our ancient, stone-age, mail-in systems with their inherent risks of suspicious, smoke-and-mirrors, behind-the-curtain fraud and nefarious activities that can further inflame, weaken, and split our nation apart?

We are preparing to spend trillions on infrastructure and national security, but we are unable or unwilling to address and develop a more secure and transparent voting system that is absolutely vital to our precious democracy?!
