Aw right! we The People overcame vote fraud and got Trump into the Presidency. Now, we need to start sending in suggestions for his administration. I want to start the process with what I consider the most vital issue for America's future: how to make the election process honest and reflective of the TRUE will of we the sovereign people. And no, this does not and will not endorse tossing out the most brilliant aspect from our founding fathers and mothers, the electoral college.
Yes, I'm actually asking fellow Freepers to weigh in on ways to fix the corrupted voting process. I'll start the discussion with one point to ponder:
There are a bit more than 3000 vote districts spread across 50 states and a few protectorates, so a campaign from the fed to have states comply with purging dead people from vote rolls would stop a few hundred thousand fraudulent votes from being registered by treasonous cheaters. When a Civil War vet has a vote registered in a current election, I am absolutely certain someone has committed a crime against the sovereign voters.
Now, I know there are excellent minds at Freerepublic, so I am asking you Freepers to make suggestions on ways to make our voting process as safe from fraud as possible. The floor is open to everything from paper ballots with a copy to the voter, to cheat-proof techno wizardry. I will personally collect the ideas and collate them, have another thread later to post the best for further discussion, then make sure the suggestions get to Donald Trump, even if I have to hand carry them to the White House. Let's get to work.
And the ones whining for no restrictions are the ones depending on their treasonous fraud to empower their agendas.
Bro! I meant to type ‘today’ not toady! So sorry FRiend ...
Make anyone receiving welfare to waive their voting privilege for every election cycle in which they receive money. Anyone violating that would be ineligible for welfare for life. States refusing to enforce it would lose all federal spending.
Evening. Of course! Lost your phone number with phone tho. Freepmail me.
Why is it banks can have basically error-free ATMs and we can’t develop a voting machine with the same level of integrity? I am not a tech wizard, but the example might be a good place to start.
Consequences
Precincts or Districts that report over 100% turnout immediately have their votes nullified.
Precincts or Districts whose voting machine is caught flipping votes. All votes cast by that machine are nullified and the voter is notified to come recast their vote on a good machine or by paper ballot.
Every voter should be able to log in and actually see how their ballot was registered. Discrepancies can then be narrowed down to precincts or districts. Any of which that indicate more than a 5% variance in the cast ballot the entire district’s votes are nullified.
Great thoughts!
What? You mean welfare lives don’t matter? /s
1. Register only live citizens who are residing in the precinct they are voting in.
2. Registration must be updated periodically with photo ID, proof of citizenship, and proof of residence.
3. Paper ballots only.
4. Photo ID must be presented when you vote. You get a ballot and your name is crossed off the registration list as having voted.
5. Each candidate gets to station a representative in every precinct to observe the voting process.
6. Each candidate gets to station a representative in every precinct to observe the vote counting process.
7. Advance voting in person only on two designated days before the actual election.
8. No mail in ballots.
Simple.
2. Abolish early voting and mail in ballots for citizens living within the boundaries of the United States.
3. Count and announce ALL military absentee ballots FIRST.
4. Standardize electronic voting machines and ballots. Update software and firewalls within 30 days of any election.
5. Abolish the feckless, corrupt FEC
6. Keep DOJ and DHS from interfering with State level functions.
7. Make conducting/participating in exit polling a crime.
8. Withold ALL final vote counts until AFTER the latest time zone polling stations close (Hawaii).
Though POTUS has no direct roll, Trump could be a YUUUGE driving force.
I can think of no more powerful way to drain the swamp in a permanent way than term limits for legislature and judiciary per Mark Levin's book. And I'm fairly certain Trump has addressed term limits recently.
Though Levin was slow to support he did. The man is brilliant and a great patriot. His “Liberty Amendments” should be mandatory reading for all in the incoming administration. As well as all his books.
process wise the best thing to do is build the wall and make sure only citizen’s vote under pain of fine and prison.
in terms of the absolute best thing to do: he should set about defanging the two major parties. make sure all their special, unconstitutional privileges—codified for decades in the existing system—are removed.
Congress or the States shall make no law respecting any political faction, of any size, over any other. period. make all factions equal under the law.
Though Levin was slow to support he did.

Mere late lip service... check his Conservative Review star Amanda Carpenters tweets.... she has been sniping non-stop. Snide unctous bish.

At the State and precinct level:
ALL precincts report vote counts simultaneously to the state and not the media...no one reports results until everyone reports, leaving no opportunity for some precincts to manufacture votes based on known vote counts.
NO communication between precincts, both during the voting and until the vote count is reported, which would eliminate the possibility of collusion to manufacture votes.
Blind reporting of precinct results, for the same reason.
At close of polls, immediate reporting of ballot counts, so extra ballots can’t suddenly appear after polls close.
ALL provisional or same day registration votes are to be on different ballots and are to be segregated and remain uncounted until voter eligibility is verified.
STRICT control on the number of absentee ballots manufactured, such that there are not thousands of unused ballots sitting around to be forged.
NO electronic voting machines...electronic assisted voting to produce a paper ballot is acceptable.
Any precinct that has more votes cast than there are registered voters is immediately segregated from the vote count and remains so until such discrepancies are resolved.
1. no early voting
2. registration cutoff 30 days prior to election
3. proof of citizenship at registration
4. finger inking
5. manual voting
6. proof of id at time of voting
7. registration expiration after 4 years if no vote
The US also might shorten the campaign season to 90 days and cap the amount that any one candidate can spend
i agree. no early voting, although i would have the voting take 2 days, say monday and tuesday.
As others have posted, Trump needs to aggressively push for cleansing the voter rolls of people who have not voted for a substantial period of time, and now that States like California are giving drivers licences to illegal aliens, proof of American citizenship should now be required before a person is allowed to vote.
1. Paper ballots; they may be electronically scanned for counting but a physical paper trail must exist.
2. Photo ID and a finger ink dip required.
3. Purging the deceased off the voter rolls with vital statistics providing monthly lists to the voter registration office. Hell, they are in the same damn building in a lot of counties, so there really is no excuse for this not being done. We have a graying population and the boomer’s deathrate is only going to keep increasing for the next 2-3 decades.
I live in a vote by mail state and I admit I like it. It’s easy and convenient and cheap. I don’t even object to motor voter registration as long as proof of citizenship is required. Last time I renewed my license, I had to provide a certified birth certificate because my first license was issued on the basis of my student body card and ss card back in the day. Anyway, a month later I got a nice new voter card with my name and precinct/district information on it.
I could easily see a hybrid system that mails out the paper ballots but they have to be brought to the polling station in person with photo id and ink your finger to drop it off. This would reduce voting lines substantially and combine the convenience of vote by mail with the security of in person one man/one vote ID and ink system.
It wouldn’t matter if fake names/dead names got ballots because with ID and ink you only get to deliver one ballot to the polling station.
Maybe we could streamline county government by making the DMV and the elections office one agency.
2. Each and every voter registration expires on November 15 of each year. To vote, one must have registered IN PERSON anew no later than September 15 of election year with proof of citizenship, government issued photo ID, residence, etc.
3. Abolish ALL early voting schemes with the only exception being active duty military and those whose age and health make voting in person impossible. Require a letter signed by a currently licensed physician attesting to the disability to accompany an application for absentee ballot.
4. Background check for EACH election official annually.
5. NO VOTING by CONVICTED FELONS EVER AFTER CONVICTION.
6. Any voter or official convicted of election fraud to be imprisoned for two years and stripped for life of any claim of citizenship and DEPORTED.
Start with a six month amnesty for anyone who comes forward and explains what they know and what they did to facilitate voter fraud. Have to name names and what happened. This is all recorded and clearly documents the extent of tbe fraud. This information is then used to prosecute those individuals who did not claim amnesty. Also any non citizen who voted is immediately gone.... Forever.
