Computer experts have identified vulnerabilities to our election process when using electronic methods. Voting machines can be programmed to flip votes to a specific candidate using a few second delay so the voter is unaware this has taken place, unless the voter goes back to review their entire ballot on the machine. Even in areas where paper ballots are used, scanning machines can be programmed to fractionalize or skip ...more »

A governmental program with its own unique security features that allows American citizens access to the internet in limited capacities. This would allow all citizens to vote online and apply for employment at home with many security features based off of fingerprint confirmation and facial recognition programming. I believe that this could be a prominent factor in voting security while allowing the voice of all ...more »

The government should sponsor the internet for free for limited access. To apply for jobs, as most jobs are applied for on line and to vote on-line. The government has the facial recognition capabilities and could allow a 100% vote in america and could be seen as a matter of national security for there to be a mandatory 100% vote in every election, always!

Thank you,

I cannot think of any reason to be adverse to this, unless you ...more »

Absent a secure voting system, to ensure our Country's elections remain a true democratic process I propose the following: An internet blackout--prohibiting access from any sovereign, other than our own. To protect our military and others who are abroad the blackout would require a different means of communication for them to ensure safety. The blackout would last all of election day until all votes are tallied and announced. ...more »

All schools should equip themselves with Bulletproof wall pannels that act as riot shields. These riot shields could save many lives by blocking line of sight and giving the students a chance to defend themselves from many potential acts of terror. If we cannot stop the shooters from entering the school and shooting then lets stop the bullets from reaching there intended targets These pannels could also decend from ...more »

What I think that can be done to protect the lives of students and teachers from an active shooter is a new way to stop a door. The doors today are strong but can probably be opened by using a shotgun on the handle or maybe even with a lockpick. The idea that I have is to have a wall that goes parallel to the door that has an amount of space in between that a desk can fit perfectly. There is almost no way that the door ...more »
