No political party wants this.
Any attempt to apply a technological solution to an operational problem will fail. The problem is the corruption, and technology can’t fix that. Technology can only further conceal it.
Just my valueless opinion.
Why bother? Election fraud is exceedingly rare.
why not use an isotopic variant undetectable
for uniqueness, hidden along with a second
hidden internal RFID to follow the movements,
hiding, and destruction of “INCONVENIENT” real ballots.
It is not who controls the ballots. It is who counts the votes. Secure paper won’t stop corrupt election officials from adding 500,000 votes for the leftist candidate.
Most times I vote, the number of voters in my precinct are in the low hundreds to low thousands.
Count by hand, have someone else verify the count and report it. Done.
Optical scanners must only count in whole numbers and be blocked from the use of fractional numbers.
“Technology Approaches to Enhancing Election Security”
Dominion will get the contract.
If America did the bare minimum of voting security that plenty of other civilized countries do we wouldn’t be in this mess. No need to get fancy. Voter ID (either a license or the city hall can provide a free photo ID for people) , no mail in ballots and paper ballots only.
Since both parties don’t want this I can only assume they both cheat.
The horses will be hopelessly over the hill sometime tomorrow.
With 30 million new Democratic voters, future US elections will be a mere formality.
No technology needed at all. Technology creates more, not less, opportunity for fraud undetectable by the public.
Paper ballots. Election fraud punishable by death 30 days after conviction.
How is the software for the optical scanner insured to read a ballot correctly ?
A perfect solution is not needed, only one that is “smarter than Democrats”. That should be easy enough.
Each ballot should contain an encrypted, unique serial number (actually an encrypted UUID) printed on it as a scannable 2D bar code. Once a vote is cast, no other votes should be allowed for that ID.
The voting machine itself should be able to be easily opened for inspection, and should verify a checksum of the operating system against a remotely-provided list of valid checksums before it can process ballots. New entries to that checksum list should require approval of all political parties involved in the election.
BONUS: Each ballot should also have printed, above the ballot, 5 American civics/history questions randomly drawn from a poll of thousands of questions. If more than one of these questions is answered incorrectly (e.g. “What was the first name of George Washington’s wife?”) then the vote should be silently ignored.
Finally, legislation should be passed that requires a minimum of 10 years imprisonment for all instances of a person particiating in the corruption or disruption of the US voting process (non-technical, but the most important measure of all).
I don’t think you understand what just happened.
The communist party stood there and filled in ballots then counted them right in front our faces and not a single court, AG, or DA did anything about it.
Rules? Regulations? Laws? Big freaking deal. Make more of them but nothing changes if outright unlawful conduct is not prosecuted or stopped in any way.
Check out this video. Fraud can be detected easily.
State casino control boards have long solved this problem. Solution is straight forward.
The Nevada and New Jersey Gaming Commissions require the gaming manufactures to provide the source code, build environment, and final binary result (firmware running in the machine) to them of ANY MACHINE that runs in a casino.
This came about after several instances of the machine manufacturers software developers sneaking in back door jackpot triggering code.
The tech types at the gaming commissions examine the source for “bad code” (click the upper button 3 times within 2 seconds, lower button 6 times in 2 seconds, pull slot arm down half way, trigger jackpot...), then compile the code and the checksum MUST MATCH what is in the machine, else it DOES NOT GET USED, CAN’T BE CERTIFIED for use.
Same thing needs to be done for voting machines. And of course that also means absolutely no outside connectivity of any type.
Some of the commentary here on about the Dominion source code is foolish. You can’t checksum the source code since any change in the build environment could result in a different binary result, so no way to know if one version of source code produced the binary that will be executing.
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. --John Adams
NO mail in votes whatsoever, with the exception for the military..
"Your solution was made only for a moral and religious People. It is wholly inadequate for the use of any other."
The problem is let's say the FEC implements something like this and states accept it. The "Peter Strocks" at the FEC will corrupt it. Bet your life. FISA warrants anyone?
