15. What we really need is a national voter database.

That's the only way to prevent voter fraud and voter suppression.
I realize it's dangerous, but so is the Republican party's plan to control the vote and insure a permanent Republican dictatorship.

Once a citizen is registered, it won't matter where they are, they can vote for the candidates at their designated address in person, via mail, or computer. They would know immediately if their vote was registered and counted.
It would be hard for someone else to vote in their name because the acknowledgement would go to the proper person. The only one who could challenge it would be the voter themself, in cases of someone taking their vote.
It's an idea whose time has come.

Please don't tell me it can't be done. I know the concept is not difficult to safely implement. Computers already handle so much of your life; it's just another thing to protect, and protection can be very robust.
