[EL] fantasy policy alternative to voter ID laws

[Paul Lehto]

A video recording device, focused solely on the table where persons appear
to see if they are in the pollbooks as registered voters would do the
trick.  No video of the actual process of casting the ballot would be
possible, and the videotape would provide additional benefits such as the
ability to determine if the number of votes cast matches the number of
voters who appeared at the table and were found to be properly registered
for that precinct.
