Just voted in LA

No one asked for my ID to cast my vote

They took me at my word given name, birthday, and house number…

I asked the polling person: “So are you telling me that I could have walked in, told you someone else’s name / birth year / home address and you would have believed me?”

They said “Um, yes”

Terrifying to say the least

Terrifying why? Voter fraud is EXTREMELY rare. 

It’s interesting how bad we are as humans at judging risk. Most of us are terrified of sharks because those big teeth could saw through us (10 fatalities a year globally.) However we think nothing of jumping in our car every day (over 40k deaths / yr in the US). But still, imagine! 🤷🏽‍♂️

Nope - not a trick question.

It’s not just about statistics; it’s about ensuring that every individual’s vote is protected and that people have confidence in the electoral process.

I understand that the penalties for voter fraud are severe, and ideally, they should deter people from attempting it. My concern is less about the frequency of voter fraud and more about the vulnerability in the system that allows for the possibility of it happening undetected.

The fact that someone can vote by simply providing a name, birthdate, and house number—with no further verification—feels like an unnecessary risk to the integrity of our elections.

I like to solve problems and build things. Product, crypto, web3, NFTs, AI... Opinions my own. ✊🏾 • he/him • #DΞF
