Fixing the voting system to ensure fraud doesn't happen

EVERY election we hear of shady things happening at one place or another during the elections and this year's mid-terms are no exception and I have never seen an election where such a vast quantity of ballots were found in the oddest of places, where ballots should never have been located. IMHO it totally smells like fraud - which brings me to my point.

The fact that voting and electing the people who represent us in congress may be the most important aspect of government (if the gov actually works as we are told and it isn't all an illusion) and fraud in voting is tantamount to treason IMO, be it one vote or 100,000 - and we know what the punishment for treason can be.

So how do we make sure people don't vote more than once. With mail-in ballots (absentee, over-seas/military, early voting, etc) the entire process can be put into question because it is much more difficult to prove they are fake or legitimate. But for voting at the polling place, I'm looking for ideas, and have one of my own.

I think using a thumb print, or some other unique biometric print/ID, such as ear, face, eye, etc can all be used to uniquely ID a person and I think a thumb print is the least intrusive as most people have been printed as a child and many as an adult (criminal, job, etc). So when you get your paper ballot (I don't think computers should be used AT ALL) there is a reciept on the bottom that tears off and I suggest adding another piece which is the where the thumb print goes. When you put the ballot into the scan machine, you also tear off the "print card" and use the print pad's like they have at every bank. Then that print card goes into a different machine from the ballot, and it counts the cards - so it has to match the ballot counts.

Now if there is a ny issue with matching a print to a vote, then it is very easy to stagger the print's by having 3-5 different feed slots for the print card and it then feeds them into a pile which at the end, they are all stacked into one stack and then counted and scanned for their unique ID value.

So each print will be scanned and run through an algorithm that will produce a unique value and that value will be stored in the state system. All polling places can then compare print values and see if the same person has voted more than once, or if an "illegal" vote was cast (felon, illegal immigrant if on file, etc).

I don't like tracking by the gov with biometrics, but there is no name associated with the print and all it states is that "this fingerprint voted" it doesn't say who you voted for or anything, so I don't see this as being as that bad - but am I missing something?'

I'd like ideas for mail in's and absentee ballots, but I'm coming up blank here. Anyone have any ideas?

What do you think of doing something like this print idea to make sure people aren't voting under other people's names (relatives who don't vote, dead people, fake names, people in other states, etc).
