Proposal: Require banks to run our elections as a condition of their federal charter and FDIC membership. Their handling of ballots would be as strictly and uniformly regulated as their handling of money.
FDIC Law, Regulations, Related Acts ^ | Dec 4 2020 | rintintin

FDIC - member banks are heavily regulated for uniformity and integrity in their handling of money

The conduct of federal elections should be equally uniform and strictly regulated Why not assign federally charted banks the responsibility of running federal elections?

The “system” we’ve got now would shame many third world countries for its chaotic lack of organization, reliability, and integrity

Just a thought

You do know that JPM-Chase just got fined $250 million for code violations.

Thank you for referencing that article rintintin. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.
Wells Fargo Agrees to Pay $3 Billion to Resolve Criminal and Civil Investigations into Sales Practices Involving the Opening of Millions of Accounts without Customer Authorization (2.21.20)

What’s even worse than corrupt banks is the fact that Thomas Jefferson had clarified that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the feds the express power to regulate banks.

“A proposition was made to them to authorize Congress to open canals, and an amendatory one to empower them to incorporate. But the whole was rejected, and one of the reasons for rejection urged in debate was, that then they would have a power to erect a bank, which would render the great cities, where there were prejudices and jealousies on the subject, adverse to the reception of the Constitution [emphasis added].” —Jefferson’s Opinion on the Constitutionality of a National Bank : 1791.

The remedy for voting fraud is to get rid of the 16th and ill-conceived, mob rule 17th Amendments to force corrupt Congress back into its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited power cage so that the crooks lose interest in getting themselves elected to the federal government.

Riiiiiiight.

Arthur Andersen OK books with $100bn in fraud on it. They were either complicit or incompetent. Take your pick. But they sure as hell weren’t innocent.

Yeah, let the bankers do it. What could possibly go wrong? Why not just let Facebook run it directly?

Would this be the same banks that are getting rich off of China? The same banks that knowingly launder cartel money? The same banks that had no problem letting isis sell oil and bank the profits? The same Banks that let big Pharma flood America with Oxycontin? The same banks that cut off financial services the conservative broadcasters and gun stores?

This is a fantastic idea! I wonder why nobody else thought of it? /s

And have all ballots printed on paper similar to currency paper with the same types of security features. Every ballot serialized nationwide so a full accounting can be made after an election.

My husband and I were discussing the election.....happens quite frequently. We both said, “Wonder why the States didn't use FedEx or UPS to handle the ballots.”

There are accounting firms that specialize in auditing and certifying corporate accounts. A private firm that can operate and certify an election in a similar manner, with a fiduciary responsibility to act in good faith might be much more efficient than what we currently have.

A private corporation would have their reputation on the line, and any future contracts to run elections would be dependent on a history of transparent, honest, and accurate methods.

Not sure how that compares to the system we currently have but government bureaucracies don’t have any incentive to improve, modernize, or become more efficient/transparent, especially in large cities.

I’m not going to get into it here - but if you have not studied the Enron collapse recently, it is worth a second look - there are good reasons AA was exonerated in a unanimous SC opinion.

Hand ballots.

Vote in-person only, with national voter ID card, and a fingerprint on ballot.

Even stricter requirements for absentee.

I like. It has to be said that fingerprint is a way around ballot secrecy - but is a bulletproof way to assure that mass-produced “Bidenballots” could be detected. But that could actually be done with latent fingerprints, now.

The other way to reject mass produced ballots would be to print bar code on each ballot - and the code would be generated by random number calculation so that nobody would know a priori which numbers would be legit and which evidence of fraud. So mass production of apparently legit votes could be pretty hard. The other suggestion would be to give the voter a preview of how the ballot would be read - and, preferably, a way for the voter to correct the ballot before submission.

Insane. Let the illegal and immoral banks, who create money from-thin-air, create ballots from thin-air.

Most people just can’t keep up with the level of delusion all around. Those suffering from such are not aware that they are delusional; by definition of the term.

The facts remain. They were either in on it or incompetent. PERIOD. Anybody saying otherwise is being silly.
