To access my bank account, I have a retinal scan done to prove my identity. The same should be done for voter registration to end the very few real and abundant imaginary voter fraud issues. The retinal scan or similar biometric artifact could then positively identify with a built-in ID that the voter always has with them and would not require yet another special ID card. Re-registration can be done in the local communities under close scrutiny and the biometric images can be kept in a common database to be used at the polls.
The world is changing and we need to make better use of our constrained resources. For example, intelligent intersections can alleviate traffic flow issues without having to add more highways or lanes by sensing the cars approaching an intersection with built in transponders in new cars and add-ons (like an EZ-pass device) for older vehicles. This being tested in several parts of the country and results in significant fuel savins as a by-product.
