Unique Challenge Voter ID

["Jeff Hallmark" <jeffh@gesn.com>]

The unique ID issue for challenge voters is a concern for South Carolina.

I have read the posts on why we allow multiple entry of the same Challenge Voter Number, i.e multiple unsynchronized devices issuing numbers, and have a possible alternative.

 

If a jurisdiction supplies, or will supply, as part of the polling place voter registry , each voters County issued "Voter ID" number, we can use this number as the challenge number.

By default a counties voter ID is unique.

This might necessitate the ID field be expanded to alpha/ numeric.

And of course we could use Drivers License or SSN., but we would loose the County generated paper trail, the voter registry.
