it’s just name/age/address. And I expect a decent chunk to be from outside the US because people are terrible at following directions when an issue pertains to them.

For me i had to write my personal number which is not something you could just guess on the fly so i dont think its so easy to fake signatures.

[–] nyancatec@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (5 children)

It is. There's no system to check if signature exists in your country's ID list. Random number generator +random name generator is enough to "validate" the vote.

some countrie's id numbers have built in checksums or something similar so it would be trivial to implement code to check if the number can be valid even without having access to the actual database so a random number generator would have to be at least a little bit sophisticated
