For post 444 I ask why not facial recognition at polling locations. You don't want to show ID to vote or whatever, hey that's fine but we are going to use facial recon which will likely tell us who you are and God help you if you vote at more than one location. Good idea or not? |

Quoted: Sounds expensive and completely unnecessary. Not to mention it would run into the same problems as requiring ID. The people who don't have a photo ID are also likely not going to have a portrait on file. I think .Gov has plenty of spare processor power to run a program like this. Wouldn't take much more than a tablet streaming video from each voting location. If the casinos can do this we could. Or do you not think voter fraud is an issue? |

Who's paying for all this? I don't want to. An Identification at the polling place requirement will solve a LOT of "voter fraud." ETA: Casinos pay for their own security. WE pay for the stuff your asking about. Locally and federally. |

I'm betting the government doesn't have the hardware to process a hundred million plus faces from streaming video in such a short period of time just lying around unallocated. Voter fraud is an Issue, however not one that warrants a system like this. |

Much more enormous than a casino operation, and different scope. The way casinos FR, or anti-terror FR overseas runs, is they search for a positive hit against a known database. That database only has the bad guys in it, and it only looks for matches against that database. No match, it ignores you.
In a voter ID scenario, it would have to have EVERYONE's face in the database, and it would be trying to match everyone. The computing horsepower would be enormous, and it's also a database structure issue. It would be extremely prohibitive to do it. Plus, the cost and time of digitizing everyone's ohoto ID on record into a 3D map (they can do this today via software, but it takes time to do.) |

Facial recognition on my Galaxy S3 will not reliably unlock my phone for me. On Google+, it often tags pictures of my children as being either me or my wife (or my wife's dad). Yeah, this is a "not ready for prime-time" technology. Yup this, Iproducts too. It's already here. |

Most states already digitize you ID, drivers lic. etc. All you would have to do at first is run a program that hits when a face shows up at two or more polling locations. |

many (most?) polling locations don't have high speed connections that would allow doing this in real-time, even if uncle same had the ability to process the images at a central location
now you could do a simple digital photograph of people in a standardized format and then process facial recognition off-line after the fact in close races. and you would really only need to compare images in a fairly small geographic area, because I suspect most fraudsters are working within the same geographic area....not nation-wide |

Much easier to just do photo ID. when matched up against an authorized list, it is a pretty secure system.
It is ridiculous that we don't. With the millions spent on elections, the idea that it is cost prohibitive to issue special ID to the small fraction of voters who do not have another ID already at registration is ridiculous. Heck, though, with a small campaign tax, we could afford to hire an army of prostitute election workers to give blowjobs while personally delivering ballots to the home of every registered voter. |
