Hi Ron, Marki & All,

Well in a roundabout way we do. In our electoral system we demand no proof of identity or proof of entitlement to vote. You just roll up to the booth, say a name and address and they hand you a ballot paper. Who here has ever been challenged over your identity or right to vote when you vote in an election?
As a result, in every State and Federal election for decades, thousands if not tens of thousands of dead voters (voters that the electoral commission have never been told are dead) climb from the grave and vote for live politicians. No one can prove who did it because no proof of identity is asked for. We've had several fairly close elections over the last 30 years in NSW and Australia -- how many were decided by "dead" Australians I wonder.
Strange but true.
Best,
Les D
