Here are some of the excellent advantages of requiring voters to vote in person, AT THEIR OWN NEIGHBORHOOD PRECINCT:
-
Neighborhood precincts are closer to home, cheaper, easier, & quicker to get to than centralized voting centers. (Precincts should be limited to approx 2000 voters max, not 50,000 like some voting centers).
-
Provable chain of custody (to the voter and from the voter) to the precinct ballot box, one voter, one ballot.
-
No voter intimidation possible by spouses, family, co-workers, employers, etc., which can readily occur with mail in voting.
-
Ballots can be continually kept in public sight, at the precinct, during election day, from opening until closing when ballots are tallied.
-
Smaller number of election workers and scrutineers needed at small precincts, so it is easier to manage and live stream.
-
Easier to process ‘Power of Attorney Advocate’ casting of ‘hardship and truly handicapped’ ballots for voters registered in that precinct.
-
Small precinct voting makes it easier to implement health safety protocols, such as: masks, hand sanitizers, air cleanliness etc., compared to large halls, gymnasiums, and arenas.
-
Ballot image authentication can be easily implemented from the precincts, openly, and uploaded publicly, from the precincts for all to see.
-
Ballots casts in the voter’s precincts preserves a hugely valuable tool for auditing tool for spotting potential errors and omissions.
