But with required thumb print you could cut the thumbs off of a person known commit voter fraud and wala no more voting for that person.

It would be quite easy. The difficulty is definitely NOT why they don't do something about it. It isn't broken at all--it's functioning exactly as intended.

Agreed. Massive changes needed to stop the fraud. We need a computer system that holds the thumbprint of every American proven to be a citizen that wants to vote. Press your thumb on a pad, if it doesn't match-no vote!

The only thing that matters is who COUNTS the votes. Especially in a paper based system.

This is why I advocate the blockchain. Distributed, encrypted (parts), transparent (parts) so that it can't be changed or manipulated and you can verify that your vote counts the same way it did when you cast it.

You can produce a 'count' of the votes from any computer with internet access. If any of the counts from any computers are off, something is wrong.

You can't change part of the votes - because then your blockchain wouldn't match all the others. You'd be found to be tampering...we could go with a paper backup if we wanted, but I think we should just vote again if there's a problem.

The only challenge I see is: voter identification, but this could be changed. You'd have to go to a recognized location, such as we do now, they would verify your ID and you would set a passcode of your choosing into the blockchain on your vote record. Then, you could go anywhere and using your passcode, cast your vote to any blockchain. Which would propagate to all the other blockchains. Your vote can't be tampered with because a record can't be modified. This is how the blockchain works.
