Does this mean we're getting to a point where parties will refuse to settle cashflows into state coffers, but act like fiduciaries for the money until the acting reps & administrators want to allocate / purpose it?

i'm not even sure that could work. I'm trying to liken it to how other countries have many parties in the governing body, and each has to barter to get things funded/etc. Same in this model — each of 'the two parties' is really a network of PACs and NGOs, with their own access to donations/financials.

Today those groups are already deciding where to allocate based on trust / alliances. Are we headed toward a model where they more like fiduciaries, trusting a lesser amount of political hierarchy?

(all of this is aside from what Cutler did, should do, or consequences)

please, analysis only. No partisan trope responses.

I've been complaining about this for a couple decades, including and before the hanging chads. I'm anti-corruption, which sadly doesn't often give me the chance to plainly support any one party consistently. I'd need a military job if people want me to turn a blind eye to political corruption

I'm sure you already see that there would be a great many people that wouldn't have, or whose signatures could be so shakey that you could not be sure. Easier to fake if those were older people that have a known predisposition to lose motor skills due to geriatric diseases.

This security hole just writes itself. It's not hard. I've been complaining about these security issues for a long time, way before this election, and way before Bush's hanging-chads

You probably registered at some other time? That is not when my friend had to do upon moving.

also, the paper form, only asks for last-4 of the social, + DL number. That data is out there is some wants to buy it from the dark web. So that's how it's not secure enough, as compared to an in-person visit, or a live/video proof or credentials.

None of that relates to the problem described. Stop and accept that reality is different.

It exemplifies how so many people have been confused on this issue.

I know someone that just moved into the state. They were sent a mail-in ballot registration. All they have to do is write their signature and send it back.

DL / SSN-last-4 are not trivial to get, but they're available to 'hackers.'

This is not security
