Voting is the most precious right we all have as Americans. It ensures our rights and benefits are secured. American voters must have faith in the voting process and sadly, many do not. As elected officials we owe it to voters to provide safe, secure and fair elections.

Currently, as the system stands there are many inconsistencies and opportunities for fraud. This should be mitigated through voter identification, in-person voting, and setting aside one voting day, for primaries and general elections, as state and national holidays.

Until we can implement blockchain technology, voting and counting should be done by hand and without machines. With the current system, there are too many points throughout the process which can be compromised.
