As a reformed former Kansas state employee, we were ordered to hand every customer of our office a voter registration card. Didn’t matter if they were from the US, Canada, Mexico, Japan, India, Korea, China or Guatemala, every applicant had to be offered the opportunity to register to vote. We could not have a stack of cards, they had to be personally handed to the applicant. And we were watched; from time-to-time someone (ACORN?) would sit in our waiting area to make sure we complied.

Inaccurate voter roles are a cause for concern, but the clean up process can be just as problematic. If we move for wholesale purges of duplicates or whatever looks vaguely fishy, that will most certainly lead to disenfranchisement, an odious outcome in a democracy. One person, one vote is the goal. Voter fraud and voter disenfranchisement are the two extremes we need to avoid.

Imagine if all states ran elections with the same efficiency and security that they run their state lotteries which by the way generate far more traffic.
Try to scam a state lottery with a bogus ticket. It can’t happen. Try to cash in a $1,000 ticket with no ID. You’re out of luck.
Try to claim that you played the winning number and not the number on your ticket.. They will laugh at you.
Try to cash in a ticket that is mangled or has a hole punched in it while you assure the person behind the counter that the hole is in fact indeed a six.
Try to buy a ticket while the numbers are already running like it was same day registration. They simply would not tolerate that.
I always get a kick out of how some people claim that requiring voters to present a valid ID to vote is somehow some racist trick to disenfranchise the po’ black folk who somehow just can’t seem to acquire a legal ID.
If that same person hit for $5,000 I bet they could come up with a stack of paper to prove who they are in about two minutes.
