Some Officials Worry Voting is 'Flawed Process' Open to Fraud

NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN and most blogs are trying to convince you there is virtually NO EVIDENCE of voter fraud, so Trump's fears are bogus ... but we drilled down and some officials who run the voting systems around the country are VERY worried about fraudulent voting.

Fact is ... some states do not require voters to present any ID before casting a ballot. They shockingly rely on the ability of precinct poll workers to match a person's signature with the signature on the voter registration form. So a 70-year-old lady trying to manage a precinct is supposed to do what trained handwriting experts do in court ... ferret out the frauds.

There won’t be any fraud until Trump wins, then they will be finding fraud all over the place.

On TMZ. Low information voter just might read, or hear, about it.

In 2004, I offered my DL to the poll worker in my polling place in SoCal. She said ‘oh, we don’t need IDs’. And she didn’t look at my signature at all. I signed and voted. Voter fraud is rampant in California and other Lefty strongholds. It isn’t reported on because the Media supports it. Which news organization or reporter was it that admitted ‘we have to stop Trump because he will be so bad for the country’?

I go to tmz every so often. I am surprised, most comments are the way we think.

Paper ballots.
Purple fingers.
Voter ID.
...and an instant arrest of anyone claiming to be a dead voter.

In India, they ink the pinky fingernails when the people there vote.

Indelible Ink

One of the earliest achievements of CSIR (Council of Scientific & Industrial Research), was to counter the challenge of fraudulent voting that research work on formulating indelible ink was initiated in 1950s by Chemical Division, NPL (National Physical Laboratory) now called the Analytical Chemistry Section.

As the ink is photo-sensitive, it needs to be protected from exposure to direct sun rays. Therefore, amber-coloured plastic containers are used for storing the ink, which in earlier times was stored in brown-coloured glass bottles. On application, the ink remains on the fingernail for at least two days, to even up to a month depending upon the person’s body temperature and the environment. The ink contains silver nitrate, which on reaction with the nail and on exposure to light gets darker.

The precise protocol for making this ink including chemical composition and the quantity of each constituent is not known to many people, though the basic chemical formula of this ink has not been altered since 1952.

Check your ballot carefully before submitting.

“Voting” in America might not be a “flawed process” but it is a joke. Your vote doesn’t mean jacksh*t anymore. Politicians decide who wins these days.

Also voting only on election day. Absentee ballots mush be for only people that will be truly absent from their district on election day.

Yep. If you can't purge the voter list, you can at least put a little ⩍ next to the names of those with death certificates, and detain and put a 72 hour psychiatric hold anyone claiming to be a dead person...

if USofA tried to have voters ink their fingers I’m sure some would say it’s toxic or such nonsense deeming it predjudicial or harmful.

The individual vote should be treated as almost a sacred thing. Instead it treated as a food stamp to be traded for beer money.

Lord willing, I'll be working a 16-hour day at my polling place, as usual.

Here in Iowa, there is no voter ID requirement as long as the name and address you give matches one in the book who is active, didn't vote early and wasn't issued an absentee ballot. (Signature matching has no part in any of this. You sign the book to attest to your eligibility—the poll worker mentions the oath at the top of the page—and to show you were there.)

If you're flagged inactive in the book (haven't voted in the past three? years), you must show an unexpired state-issued photo ID.

If the book shows you were issued an absentee ballot, you must bring it with you to be surrendered at the polling place.

The requirements for same-day voter registration are similar (proof of citizenship and residency).

If all else fails, you can vote a provisional ballot. It gets sealed in an envelope which will not be opened until your eligibility is verified (e.g. you show up the next day at the auditor's office with whatever you didn't have on Election Day).

Since this is all off the top of my head, I probably forgot or misstated something. But, we're required to attend training next week and there's a clearly defined process to follow at the poll.

While the process makes in-person voter fraud rather difficult, the questions I'll ask (again) at training are these: How much post-election auditing is performed to ensure the marks on the paper ballots match the numbers reported by the ballot scanners and beyond? And, who monitors the audits?

We seem to have a really good system. We are not a swing state. I read about these counties who have computer controlled ballots and who report that their votes are changed. I read recently that 17 counties will probably decide this election.

Huh? I'm guessing you define that differently. Iowa's been shown to swing either way, both historically and very recently.
