  Agelbert COMMENT: Though I doubt very seriously if the common sense change to electronic voting (i.e. a voting card issued by a bank or the government), totally justifed to help contain the COVID-19 pandemic, is enacted, it is the 🦅 democratic thing to do.

Of course, the premise for voting with exactly the same ease and security that 90% (or more) of the voting population now has to pay for items with a debit or credit card is that the USA is a democracy.

However, If the USA is a Capitalist run Oligarchy, there is not a snowball's chance in hell that the majority of the populace will be given the ability to vote easily. The 👹🎩oligarchs in the USA prefer Class based hurdles to voting to continue to be firmly in place, as they have been for a century or more, in order to keep the masses from threatening their oligarchy with a democracy.

I am NOT talking about electronic voting machines, which replaced paper ballots for the EXCLUSIVE PURPOSE of having the vote count easily gamed by hacking the software. Don't tell me electronic voting machines are not easily hacked. They are easily hacked. Many experts, for TWO DECADES NOW, have stated as much, while the main stream media yawns, for some reason...

Rant follows:

DON'T SWALLOW THE BULLSHIT that it's "okay" for the police, the Department of Motor Vehicles, your Doctor, your Dentist, the Social Security Administration, the Selective Service System (and, of course, the CIA and Google) to KNOW whether you are you but, uhm, uh, you "cannot trust a U.S. Government Web site to prevent voter fraud". If Banks can protect your money, the Federal Government, if it really wanted to, can CERTAINLY protect your vote!

If everyone can get a Social Security Card in the USA, and be tracked from cradle to grave, it is CHILD'S PLAY to issue a VOTING CARD (electronic or not) WITH A PIN NUMBER valid for use ONLY by the person who's Social Security number is associated with it.

You DO NOT NEED PLACES TO VOTE. People without a computer can vote in the public libraries during the two to three week period for the vote to take place in each and every election, from dog catcher to POTUS.
