We now have reliable, cheap, and effective technology for biometrica uthentication (e.g, fingerprints, voice recognition, facial structure or the iris). There are many applications that could benefit from these authentication scheme including airport security checks, bank transactions, immigration checkpoint, etc.
With the presidential election just days away we hear again and again about the concerns of voting fraud. It is clear that if we had any of the above technologies available for voters registration and the actual voting, these concerns will be laid to rest.
It is too late to introduce these technologies to this year voting process. But it is not too early to seriously considerthe use of Biometrics in the next election.
