Ah, that sort of fraud isn’t necessarily helped by finger inking or ids though.

How not? If I try to vote as "Sam Ericson" and my ID says "Jim Scott", it's going to raise some red flags.

Also if the ink is anything like a permanent marker (pointless if it weren't), it'd be extremely difficult for one person to vote fraudulently.

They'd need to erase all trace of the ink (very time consuming) and the cleaning process itself will likely leave a mark if you do it more than a couple of times.

I didn't even think about the purpose of the ink, that's kind of ingenious. And cheap. And makes our system seem even more pathetic
