        Yeah I wonder how that voter fraud and rigged system is working out for the candidates. . .

        I wonder how big voter fraud is in the US. My tiny anecdotal evidence since I know about it happening here and being abroad never hear of it happening there. Given the general high levels of US corruption, it is very hard to imagine that it doesn't happen more in the US than in most places.

        Not as prevalent as you'd think. http://www.factcheck.org/2016/10/trumps-bogus-voter-fraud-claims/ there is some research by various bodies to back it up as well. One of them, I think the Brennan Center for Justice found 0.03-0.06% rate of occurrence during the elections that they investigated.

        That's a response to Trump's specific claims, but the real question is about voter fraud more generally. The only case that I've witnessed would have been ignored by that article. They work too hard to say that Trump is wrong (which is true, I'm sure) and too little to say that voter fraud is being monitored.

        Here is a simple question: Do we have a national registry for voting?

        No, we do not. Why not? Only reason I know of is to make voter fraud easier. Hard to accept any study done in a country that doesn't have even a modicum of voter fraud protection.

          Has anyone here voted today?

          I voted a couple of hours ago now, on my lunch break.

                We live close enough to walk. So waiting on an iPhone to charge then going to walk over and do some Pokemon Hunting on the way to vote.

                But we did have lunch with someone who was talking to a friend who was bragging about how she had managed to vote for Trump twice this morning - once as herself and once as her mother later on in the day. I've never heard of anyone actually getting to get away with a fake vote before in real life. Of course it happens, but to first hand know if it happening is crazy. And, of course, only in Texas do people brag about it.

                Wow, just wow!!

                    I don't know which bothers me more, the voter fraud or the orange pi layout.

                          I think an email to my electronics prof is in order. He'll probably spit-take his coffee if I time it right...

                              It's easy to defraud the system - no requirement to provide ID, because somehow requiring ID is a tax on the poor. though I'm not sure how you even have a job if you don't have an ID? oh yeah, illegal/under the table jobs.

                                  IDs should be free and universal. Only legit way for them to work.
