Direct Federal Presidential Vote Swipe Card?

It makes little sense to package the election of a federal President and Vice-President on state ballots so locals or any of innumerable organized ad hoc crime syndicates can have a chance to make it difficult to vote. Each U.S. citizen over the age of 18 could be issued one Presidential vote swipe card in some way when they sign up to vote. The card could be punched and swiped over a period of a couple of days at the start of each election year. It would be a good idea to avoid the entire packaging with state ballots and all of the junk processes about state voter registration that mobile Americans may find as inconvenient as Obamacare residency requirements.

 Credit card companies and even federal programs have no trouble with card transactions that require valid I.D. Issuing non-counterfeitable voter I.D. swipe cards that allow registered citizens to choose a candidate (or write one in on the signature line) while keeping voter identity secret regarding choice should be easy. The United States used to be a somewhat smart country making steady progress.

 Why bunk things up with silly state absentee ballot requirements with weird dates? Why not make things simple for any American so they can vote at any convenience store or check out self-service line for President?

 Some Americans of the Democrat Party want the nation to be made of immoral or amoral imperial stooges free to help concentrate wealth while cutting taxes like President Trump, Obama and Trump and slopping the pigs with affordable corporate health care; that doesn’t mean the nation need be stupid and anachronistic regarding voting booths and crowds as if they were Soviet proles in line for bread. If there was an easy to get Presidential swipe card I would run it through the card scanner in November when I buy a loaf of bread and gruel- If just to write-in the name of the best American clergyman who is post-millennialist or the most competent ecological economist.

Some conservative me-first and only Republicans fail to understand that a society advances generally in relation to how well off the most poor of society are. Like military units that make certain that privates have good health, food and equipment, civil society too functions better with few people structurally repressed with dysfunctional social economic positions. The federal government should at least streamline its federal election method so everyone can easily vote.
