Alaska seeks new voter registration system to combat fraud

The AP reports that the state of Alaska is seeking to replace a voter registration system seen as outdated in time for next year’s elections. 

Red Alert Politics outlines some of the new anti-fraud features the Alaska Division of Elections wants to add to the system.

Alaska’s top government officials are looking for a new voter
registration system, one that would create an “electronic pollbook” that
curbs voter fraud and attempts to take on the Left’s argument against
voter ID laws. According to the state’s Request for Proposal, 
issued July 24, Alaska’s Division of Elections is seeking a new
statewide voter registration and election management system “that
includes an electronic pollbook solution.”  The system — costing $3.5
million to $5 million — would provide “real-time” updates of voter
history.

Additionally, the “electronic pollbook” would indicate whether or not
the voter has applied for an absentee ballot and the status of the
ballot, and have the ability to display the voter’s photo, imported from
the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles.
