D.E.I = Department of Election Integrity

This election was remarkably free of fraud, it appears, although those that commit voter fraud certainly tried to set up situations where they could act. However, because of the efforts of Michael Whatley and Lara Trump, those attempts were largely quashed.

For a very long time, over 35 years, Republicans found it hard to challenge increasingly-obvious Democrat voter fraud due to a Consent Decree entered in Federal Court which was created in 1982 due to allegations of 'voter caging'.

However, in 2018, the Consent Decree expired, and Republicans slowly began ramping up efforts to detect and fight voter fraud. This culminated in the very successful legal efforts to stop voter fraud in 2024.

Lara Trump was instrumental in rapidly responding to a variety of attempts to steal the presidential election. As examples, she, with her team of lawyers and with the blessing of RNC Chairman Michael Whatley, stopped an attempt in real time to deny Republican observers to observe the collection of mail-in and absentee ballots in the notoriously felonious Fulton County, Georgia. She and her team also prevented Pennsylvanian counties from counting illegal ballots for a closely-contested Senatorial race.

Her performance was stellar, and may have tipped the balance in many elections. I feel she was so good that she should be made the Czar of an informal government entity that I'd call the Department of Election Integrity -- D.E.I., for short.

I like the name because it gives a gentle mockery to the other definition of D.E.I. (Diversity-Equity-Inclusion), this premise being used to grant employment to people who don't qualify for the role based strictly on their minority racial, gender, or sexual orientation.

If such a quasi-official department is created, there should be several focuses:

1. There should be a push for true voter identification requirements in every state. It should be noted that those states that did not require voter identification, universally cast their electoral votes for Kamala Harris, even if six states that required voter identification also cast their votes for her.
2. Software for voting machines and tabulators should be Open Source, so that skilled developers can inspect it before an election. Open Source is a development paradigm in which the source code to an application is freely available for all.
3. The Open Source software for voting machines and tabulators should have a software 'signature', and that signature should be readily available at each voting machine and each vote tabulator, to ensure that the software version aligns with what Open Source software has been vetted.
4. There should be a hard end-date, universal among the states, for collection of ballots. That date, to my mind, should be midnight on Election Day. We should no longer have to endure two- or three-week delays in the reporting of results.
5. Ballot-Harvesting, the practice of collecting large numbers of ballots by organizations (or by individuals not personally related to a voter) should be strictly illegal.
6. Mail-in ballots should be restricted in use, applicable only in very limited circumstances. When a ballot leaves a voter's hands and enters the mail, it no longer is in a forensically-secure stream and can easily be eliminated or altered.
7. Those organizations who collect and deliver voter registrations should be prosecuted if it is shown that they are 'dumping' a large number of fraudulent registrations, or registrations for non-citizens.

Embracing and realizing these goals will go a long way to truing our election system. We are one of the most technically advanced countries in the world. There is no excuse for the poor way in which we conduct elections.

Here is my proposed seal for the Department I have described.

BTTT... no takers?

[DIRTYSECRET]

Look. The department will not be formed. The only thing that matters is that these issues be solved in the next 2 years. We’ve already had 4 and it’s till going on. Now that we have both houses there’s no excuse.

Motor Voter. No excuse for it.

[Lazamataz]

Look. The department will not be formed.

I suggest it should be.

It won't be a true department, not like DOE or DOJ or others... but it should be informally implemented.

And I like Lara Trump as its Czar.

Like any well run Corporate Meeting (first thing in the morning), silence is agreement.
Shadilay!

[Ciaphas Cain]

Paper ballots.

I will die on that hill.

[PGalt]

I like the way you think, Laz.

[Lazamataz]

Like any well run Corporate Meeting (first thing in the morning), silence is agreement.

LOL! Then I will treasure every time someone fails to respond. LOL!

[Lazamataz]

Probably should have included paper ballots in my list. Thanks!

[Lazamataz]

Thank you sir!

[Colorado Doug]

I like it! Your focus list, if implemented would stop the cheating cold. I especially like the "Hard end date"
the unlimited manipulation time that follows elections is where most of the cheating happens these days. At least that's where the really big swings seem to appear out of nowhere.

I’m only in if you are the DEI Press Secretary, Laz.

BTW, it was a genuine struggle to get ChatGPT to create the Federal Steal. I had to go back one version (Chat GPT 4 as opposed to 4o) and start from a blank seal, asking it to add lettering afterwards. Even then, it barely did a serviceable job.

[Lazamataz]

I’m only in if you are the DEI Press Secretary, Laz.

I stand ready to serve!

[Lazamataz]

Federal SEAL, not Federal STEAL.

Autocorrect got me that time.

[MomwithHope]

Hi Laz. I’ll check back later. I am for all paper ballots no touch screens.

[Mr. K]

Only if it has power to perform summary executions

[quantim]

Until the GOPe/uniparty/deep state types are reduced to ashes at both a state and federal level it will take a couple of lifetimes to get the fraud to an acceptable level. They’re the ones that enable the rats if not themselves across the board.

Penalties must be borderline inhumane at all levels from dog catcher township levels to the Presidency and all that ‘mysterious’ donor money needs to exposed. The rats raised $1,000,000,000 for a candidate without a single vote?

[military cop]

Can’t WAIT to see the name plate at the podium!
