The "security" for this system is the driver's license number. But ... the drivers' license database is openly available on-line. The state official in charge of this boondoggle doesn't see a problem.
County official (a Republican!):
"I don't know how you distinguish between people purposely changing their information and those who didn't," Richardson said. "In an election like this, where everyone wants to vote, you are going to get a lot of changes. People change their first names or last names or change their addresses. Especially people who haven't voted in a while."
Because people change their birthdays all the time. What's the problem?
Logging in to make registration changes requires only a voter’s driver’s license number. That information is contained in a copy of every county’s voter database, a public record already in the hands of political parties, campaigns, the media and others, Bangert reported.
The secretary of state’s office defended the system in an interview last week.
“To my knowledge, I’ve not heard of anyone getting to do that in the online system,” Warycha said. “The driver’s license is the safeguard there, and we don’t have evidence that that isn’t working.”
Well, it sort of appears that you DO have evidence that it isn't working. Aside from that, remember that "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence."
