COMMENTS: Checking for Typos
No Match No Vote is the name of the law in Florida designed to prevent fraud at the ballot box. It insists that newly registered voters must include a driver's license or a Social Security number that matches an identity in a state or federal database. The problem is that the matching software rejects would-be voters for such non-fraudulent reasons as a name variation or a simple typo. CBS' Kelly Cobiella told us that the state has seen 228,000 new registrations in September alone, a volume that the is unlikely to be checked by Election Day. "Observers worry that one mistyped number could disqualify a ballot."
