One solution I've seen used in 3rd world countries is to require people who have just voted to dip a forefinger into a cup of intense, penetrating dye, which they are very unlikely to be able to remove in one day.
Wouldn't some sort of wax spread on the hand prevent such a dye from working once peeled off? i.e. I'm thinking along the lines of liquid latex or crazy glue like substances... :)
The dye works well. While hackers like us can _imagine_ ways to circumvent the dye, most such circumventions are hard to actually pull off. In any case, a better solution (no pun intended) than the current system in which folks in Milwaukee got to vote multiple times. And better for various reasons than requiring identification credentials. --Tim May -- (This .sig file has not been significantly changed since 1992.
