    You know how people outside the USA vote? They go there, show their ID, get a tick on the list of voters, and do the voting.

        Interesting, given the stories of people voting several times by just going to different places.

          Oi, no you have to have your name on the rolls and there is a dedicated building were you as an individual are required to cast your vote. Go the the wrong building and you wont be on the roll.

          You can vote multiple times if you own homes in multiple states but:

          1. Its very time consuming.
          2. Its very very illegal.
          3. Its very easy to catch. Since they sign you in.

              When you register to vote you generally ID. at the polls you just give your name and address. generally everyone in the room lives in the area. I certainly know who are my neighbors. you can of course lie about who you are, and you might even be able to cast that vote; if someone doesn’t call you on it. but if that person shows up shit is going to hit the fan.

              go work an election as a poll worker.

      Yes, and again, it’s all based on trust.
