Unfortunately, being born in the U.S. or naturalized, and over the age
of 18, is not enough to register to vote. Automatically – until death.
That's a different and surmountable obstacle to electronic voting that
deserves its own email thread here at CAVO. ><br></span></div><div><br></div><div>The USA does a mixed bag at checking to see if someone is dead. Especially time critical - they eventually figure it out - but it can take several months - up to a year - so that window is there for election balloting. And I'm not sure they check at all that a ballot received from someone - that they are actually still alive - since they were sent the ballot. Its within the margins of error.</div><div><br></div><div>Next - the average person moves every 7 years - so - yes - we need you to confirm that you still live in the same election district. Or go overseas. And of course people change their names too. And their nationality.<br></div><div><br></div><div>OK - election districts are gamed to heck and back - but we can't solve everything.</div><div><br></div><div>I actually think the state election boards do a good job of handling all this thrash - in tandem with the tools they have - drivers licenses - housing - et al - and so its mostly out-of-scope for what CAVO is trying to accomplish. We just need the State to produce its digital elector registration database - ready to be imported into the voting system. That we can provide software to assist with.<br></div><div><br></div><div>David<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></span></body></html>
