[LINK] New proposal for e-voting - Turnbull

[Bernard Robertson-Dunn]

On 10/09/2013 4:28 PM, Jan Whitaker quoted The Age:

> Mr Turnbull, who was easily elected to his Sydney seat of Wentworth
> on Saturday, said he thought there was also a large number of people
> who voted fraudulently, "in the sense that they go to the polling
> place and say they're someone else".
>
> He said he thought many people who did so were voting for a friend or
> relative who was away or sick - and that this was based on anecdotal
> evidence he had received since first running for Parliament in 2004.
>
> Impersonating another voter in a polling place is a serious offence

And how does e-voting fix this?

Or is he conflating e-voting with a national ID system?
