Do you apply the same standard to your bank account?

Someone with some sort of identity and address should be able to withdraw your bank account until proven guilty?

No they also ask for a unique identifier (bank number) and an access code (PIN) and a token (bank card). That's three-auth. Two things you have to know and one thing you have to have. That's pretty good.

I think that's what people are suggesting maybe voting should have.
