For some reason, the formatting of the command line stuff doesn't seem to work correctly on FR. I'm thinking that it's related to some of the parsing that the site does when you submit articles and stuff. At least, it doesn't look like it when I 'preview'. If it looks weired, click the source link. (My site is completely unmonitized, so it's not like it makes much difference.)
I’d appreciate any comments.
We don’t need any of that crap
Paper ballots.
In person With ID
Run by military personnel
BALLOTS DONT LEAVE
BALLOTS COUNTED BY BIPARTISAN COUNTERS
Great to see how much thought you’ve put into this. We are only about 4 decades too late in reigning in the fraud. Shame on us. It may be too late. The sound byte age is devoid of logic most of the time.
But I would not discourage you in the least. How patriots are able to coalesce and reign in the abuse is above my pay grade, but I will not stand for fraud of any kind whether individually or coporately.
- Abolish same-day registration
- Abolish ballot harvesting
- Abolish motor-voter laws
- Abolish early voting
- Prohibits the media from calling the election
- 20-year federal prison term for ANY vote fraud
- Set the new special presidential election for 11/02/2021; inauguration for 01/20/2022
- Winner gets a single 7-year term, bypasses the 2024 presidential election for stability purposes, presidential elections resumes in 2028
The Social Security Administration would provide Death Notices to the Election Registry. Any attempt to record a precinct or voting region for such a reported SSN would be rejected. The voter would be required to work with the SSA and the election board in the event a death notice is entered in error.
I liketh isea of purging the rolls every 4 year, and re registering. Like for your car. I would also raise the voting age back to 21 or 25, or 30.
Make it a felony to divulge any preliminary counting of votes. No feeds from any system to AP or Edison. If they don’t know how many votes to manufacture they can’t win. Also you eliminate third party voter data sharing with the Soros commies. And no tv clown show on election night. Just cameras everywhere watching every move these suckers make.
We should adopt Mexico’s immigration and election policies.
Seriously.
yeah, some of what you mention would be helpful.
every state however needs to have legislators make the changes
the constitution allows each state to determine how they handle their elections
thats where the changes must come from
Heres your solution
1 paper ballots encrypted with the polling precinct
2 you only get one with a valid photo id. If your black and cant be photographed, you are a vampire and should be killed immediately!
3. Signature on the ballot and thumb print on the ballot (with ink that can only wear off, not chemically removable) before voting.
4. Only military counts the ballots in full view of 2 Republicans and 2 Democraps. Questionable ballots will be separated and examined by forensic military personnel, also in view of a republican and democrap ballots observer. If final determination can not be reached, ballot is spoiled and thrown out, and voter will be notified with photo copy of unreadable ballot.
5. Counting facilities are sealed by the military until vote is completed. No surprise ballots in or out. Any attempts are met by military force and confiscation
6. Spoiled ballots and harvesting are illegal.
7. All personnel counting ballots will be on camera individually, and the count will be streamed live until competed.
8. Military officers will present findings to state legislators ONLY.
Add to the list:
All absentee ballots must be received by 7pm on election day; no exceptions.
Each precinct keeps the vote totals locally.
Have the vote totals nationwide held till 9am the day after election day.
Then add everything up and release the results all at once.
And here is a really big one. HD Cameras recording every move in the entire process Including voters entering and exiting. Each voter can be matched to the image on camera. The only exception is that they are set up in way as to not reveal a voters actual votes. Every step of tabulation recorded with HD camera. HD photo quality capture of every ballot as it goes through the tabulator.
All Video/photos made available to public immediately after election. Along with totals from paper only poll books. And all vote counts and times reported.
In Canada we have a physical voter’s list, and you must present your (mailed to you by the voters registration office) voter’s card at the polls, with photo ID. Then you are handed a PAPER BALLOT, which you mark, then personally feed into the tabulator (Municipal), or into the ballot box (federal and provincial)
Provisional ballots are provided, for new residents (show a utility bill and photo ID).
The common theme: PHOTO ID!!! Vital for any semblance of election integrity. Not that we haven’t had some interesting events in some of our elections, but paper ballots and PHOTO ID are excellent preliminary security steps.
2.) the rolls are numbered and are limited to a specific amount (per precinct and overall total) to prevent "phantom" rolls appearing out of nowhere. The rolls are then collected and sent to a central location to be fed through a MECHANICAL--not computerized--machine, with a trusted official campaign representative from each party in attendance to witness the tabulation.
3.) the rolls are then fed through another machine that will provide at the voter a "receipt" to be automatically generated and sent to the voter's residence confirming both a vote, and confirming who they voted for. This would be done by machine, without the aid of any person, and would be confidential.
This is going to take me a while to read, but at least someone is thinking about this stuff. It’s already too complicated for the morons in CONgress, I fear.
7 Ways the 2005 Carter-Baker Report Could Have Averted Problems With 2020 Election
https://www.dailysignal.com/2020/11/20/7-ways-the-2005-carter-baker-report-could-have-averted-problems-with-2020-election/
The report proper:
https://www.legislationline.org/download/id/1472/file/3b50795b2d0374cbef5c29766256.pdf
Might be interesting to compare your recommendations with those in the report.
We know how to conduct secure business on the Internet, especially with 2 Factor Authentication. Most of us have done banking or utility payments online, securely. I’ve been doing so for at least 20 years, so this is not a radical concept. At the user end, an online voter account experience would be very much like the experience of any other online account which requires extra authentication. Creating an online voting account would require an in-person application at a government office and verification of identity and residence. The accounts would be portable if the voter moves to a different precinct.
The server end of the online voting system would run on open-source software (which you can be sure would receive intense scrutiny). Political parties and other interested institutions would have real-time read-only access to the incoming data as completed ballots were submitted for tabulation, so they could maintain independent tallies.
The advantage to the voter would be the ability to retain a file showing their ballot choices, and the unique identifier of their ballot. That identifier could be used to look up the ballot online inside a published list of ballots, so the voter could find and verify their tabulated ballot anonymously.
The online ballot files would be downloadable so that anyone with a spreadsheet program could verify the tallies for themselves. If a week post-election goes by and virtually no reports come in from voters complaining their ballots were not tabulated, the confidence is high that all authorized votes were recorded.
Each completed ballot in the database would have metadata showing its unique number/ID, the precinct associated with the voter account, a timestamp showing when it was uploaded, and a timestamp for each time the ballot has been individually looked up anonymously. No voter PII would be attached to the ballot. The file connecting the unique identifier on the ballot to the voter would be accessible only by court order.
Other commercial and government databases would be periodically cross-checked against the database of online voter accounts, to identify and notify voters who moved without updating their accounts, became felons, or died. (Yes you should be notified if the system thinks you died, in case you didn’t) Voter accounts would expire after ten years unless the voter renews by making another in-person appearance.
Online voting would be an option not a requirement! Though I imagine it would become the predominant method before long.
There should be no such thing as an electronic voting machine! For someone who understands software and hardware hacking, the very concept of a voting machine is an abomination. Your only voting machine should be your fingers on the keyboard while securely logged-in, or your fingers marking a piece of paper at a polling location.
We move billion$ over the Internet each day without incident. We can vote that way too, securely.
I like the PURPLE FINGER. Each Paper Ballot should be checked at the counting scanner AND then that should be where the finger is dipped in the ink AND then the finger print should be placed on the upper right corner in a box.
This will also be on your Voter ID Card and in the BOE computer file.
Most States have your finger prints anyway from DL’s.
At this point I don’t give a Rodents Puckered Rectum about anonymous Voting anymore. We have no privacy anymore ! ss, nsa, fbi, cia, deep state, banks, loan companies, etc ALL have Our life history including what you had for lunch when you were 20 and how many burned out Christmas Lightbulbs you replaced 5 years ago.
So, are you suggesting that those of us who cannot ‘show up’ because we are infirmed and housebound, cannot vote?
One thing I would like to add is there needs to be the human element of trust and penalties for screw ups and fraud.
Consider the banking industry. There are many rules, systems, and controls to prevent fraud and the emptying of bank accounts by criminals. This is the banking industry's gravest responsibility.
And when data is compromised, a high price is paid in lost reputation. Executives are fired, the bank's stocks tanks, and customers leave banks for those that are more trusted.
By contrast, look at the cryto-currency world like Bitcoin. Bitcoin has sophisticated tech features like Block Chain to preserve a record of all transactions.
However, fraudsters seem to prefer to rob crypto-currencies because it's easier. The people they attack are often wealth individuals who participate in on-line crpyto-currency forums.
It's explained very well with good examples in a story on Krebs on Security about SIM Swapping.
Fraudsters take the path of least resistance. Banks are very hard to breach. However crypto-currencies are not guarded by any people or responsible institution behind the currency. It's outside government regulations, transactions can not be reverse, and crpyto is an easier path to money laundering.
Bottom line: people in the election protection business (our Secretaries of State and Governors) need to pay a high price in reputational damage and even jail time for failure to ensure the integrity of our voting system.
A technical solution alone is great, but it must be backed up with a strong human responsibility and skin-in-the-game approach.
