HORSERACE

Why No Purple Finger Legislation?

Picking up from a thought by Mark Steyn, why do Iraq and Afghanistan have better protections against voter fraud and multiple voting than the United States? Why does the simple, visible, tough-to-evade purple finger ink get put into effect in new democracies in those countries, but we can't get something so simple and effective on the books here in this democracy?

What would it take to get "purple finger" rules here in the United States?
