Unity08: Select & Elect a Unity Ticket in the 2024 Presidential Race - Additional question #2

ummmm... confirming identiy online is an everyday requirement, or else all those online bankers are in trouble!

It has already been figured out. 'nuff said.

No one should be a delagate if they are not registered to vote.

We need to put a time frame in place where we can collect the actual voter data from each county in time enought to have a current database in place for this vote.

Each voter system should have a unique identifier that links each voter on a 1 to 1 basis.

Add the email address to this unique identifier and you shoudl be secure.

The big rub is getting these county governments to participate.

You would need to back your time frame down into this.

Close at the end of the first ballot

Allow delegates to join during the first ballot, as pressure builds. However, after this ballot closes, close the ranks. This helps prevent dirty tricks and forces campaigns to dance with the girl that brought em - us by the way who are already here. We have a system to drop out lesser vote getting candidates. We can use that after this point. If people can keep adding delegates than candidates will, including candidates who are about to be dropped off. We can't in good conscience drop off the lowest vote getter if he can turn around and recruit voters - although we should be highly sceptical of such delegates as they may be duplicates or computer generated - or partisans who want to pick their opponent by voting for the weakest one (remember McGovern in 72 was brought to you by the Nixon Dirty Tricks Machine. Muskie would have nailed Nixon, but was dirty tricked out of it rather deliberately).

Varify everyone, not just the late... How? It's an easy technical solution. I'm embarassed you asked.

This is the Internet, and the technical solution would be correct. You can make sure they use an email address from work, their university, or the person that provides their Internet access. Verify they are who they say they are, and make sure they have a unique address. Mail them a sealed postcard with a secure code to enter to access their vote. Do this for *everone,* not just late registers. Use statistics to assure that no one user is signing up from more than one domain. Don't allow gmail, hotmail, or any free email accounts to sign up.

Also, make sure only a few people are able to access it from one address. Instead of writing them the access code, you could set up an auto phone calling system. This is easy, and very much needed to ensure this is a successful project.

Unity '08 could be a good idea, but if the system is not better, or more *accurate,* than what we have currently have, then this candidate won't be what the people want, regardless of how much it's hyped.

Provisional?

Can we give them "Provisional" status and not count their votes after we verify who they say they are? There is no great hurry is there?

Absentee Style

Treat a late registrant like an absentee ballot and count it after verification.

late comer verification relates to overall verification

reynoldseblacas — Wed, 11 Apr 2024 15:54:59 -0700

I asked in a post on verification of delegates how that verification would be done. Somewhere in the answer to that I suspect may also be the answer to this question. Later comer delegates have to be registered voters, as all the other already verified delegates would have to be, so verification of their registration is possible through public information records in most if not all states.

THOSE LATE REGISTRANTS

NB35 — Fri, 06 Apr 2024 09:28:03 -0700

I don't like the idea of late registrants. If people are really interested in participating in Unity08 they should register by the date specified period. Voting is a personal responsibility which should be taken seriously. Some people may simply want to get in on the action after the fact. Those are people we can do without.

Late enrolling Delegates should be accommodated.

ivasquez — Wed, 04 Apr 2024 17:18:51 -0700

This is a break-through revolutionary prototype here in Unity08. For the first run in 2024, late enrolling Delegates should be able to vote and should be verified by Voter ID, and/or SSN/DOB as previously suggested, and be treated as absentee voters so-to-speak meaning the counting isn't over until the late votes have been counted as well (ALL convention votes) no matter how long the late verifying takes. (Wouldn't be looong anyway.)
