The easy way to make sure only the proper voter gets the ID number is to have them come down to get it themselves. This makes phone voting optional, like absentee voting, and phases in the new system. The handicapped should be allowed to request that it be mailed, also like an absentee ballot. Many older and poor individuals do not have touch-tone phones. Or, any touch-tone phone in the world could be used.
Phone booths are much more widespread than voting booths.
Many people, particularly the elderly, have problems with touch-tone phone menus. When a voter has a problem in a polling place, there are judges and poll watchers there to give assistance. Remember, phone voting is optional with our proposal. When a person comes in to get their ID number, they can request a demonstration of the previous election using a phone. Plus, our proposal requires providing a sample ballot so you can see instructions and make your choices before you call and vote, which will save much time.
