What’s the purple fingers?

Voting needs to be 100% in person and completed in one day. After someone votes they would be required to dip their finger in purple ink that won’t wash off for a few days. People can get lots of fake ID’s and voter registrations, but if they walk into a polling place with a purple finger they would not be eligible to vote. Regardless of any paperwork they have. This would actually fix many of the problems in our elections.

“Electoral ink is a semi-permanent ink or dye that is applied to the forefinger of voters during elections in order to prevent electoral fraud such as double voting.”

I like it. Will also show who did not vote.

How toxic is this ink when it seeps through your skin and into your bloodstream?

You are the problem. How you think is why humans are in such trouble. You probably put colloidal silver on minor wounds to avoid using toxic chemicals. Don’t you? Go stick your head in a bucket of ice water until the bubbles stop.

What a stupidly backwards idea.

How does a blue finger prevent ineligible people from voting in the first place?

The purple fingers or Anything else can Prevent ALL Fraud, but Everything we do to Secure Elections will have a positive Impact, including the purple finger! It will at Least Stop the Double/Triple and beyond Treasonous Voters!

Dead people are ineligible to vote, people aren’t allowed to cast multiple ballots in the same election by voting in different districts.

Back in the day campaign workers would stroll around graveyards and take notes of the recently deceased. Now they do it online by searching public records/death certificates, and send homeless to cast provisional ballots in the names of the recently dead.

My daughter, who moved out 11 years ago still gets a mail in ballot at my house. Not only has she been registered in another state for several years, but we have repeatedly returned her ballot with the “moved to another state” checkbox checked and she’s gone to the secretary of state’s website and tried having herself removed from the voter registry, TWICE! Anyone could pick up an unused mail in ballot and cast whatever vote they want.

Finally, I see by looking at your profile that you are a bitcoin enthusiast. Congratulations, so am I. Think of it this way, voter registration is a centralized system with a constantly changing ledger run by the few who benefit from the outcome, just like fiat money. Purple fingers is a decentralized system that deincentivizes fraud, no one is going to dye their finger so they can’t vote. Purple fingers also creates a temporary immutable ledger of who voted that day.

There are two real life examples and one theoretical example of how purple fingers stop voter fraud. What are some of your thoughts on how to make elections more secure?

Sorry, I’m not following your ramblings. Let me repeat my question using easier words:

When one person is ineligible to vote, and I go to the polling place, cast a vote and get my purple finger, how did that prevent anything?

Keith 2y ago

It doesn’t and I’m sorry I failed in my explanation. High level thinkers are taught that if we can’t explain complex concepts to people with common education or limited intellect then we haven’t truly mastered the concept we are trying to explain.

I’ll DM you when I have mastered explaining the concept of dipping a finger in ink so people don’t vote twice to someone who can’t grasp the concept as easily as the average illiterate voter in a third world country.
