Stalin is attributed to having said voters do not decide an election, it is the person who counts the vote who decides the election.

Election fraud has a long, time honored, tradition in America. Vote buying, ballot box stuffing, and voter suppression. Now compounded into a crisis by technology and illegals.

Unfortunately, given the insatiable quest for power in America, I see no easy answer.

Democrats cannot be trusted for any kind of Government position, especially counting votes in several states.

The midterms were corrupted and their appears to be no law enforcement or integrity with the accountability of the Votes.

Lesson learned a long time ago: there are Americans, all the way from the average person up to the highest public officials, who have no respect for the fundamental citizenship right of other Americans, and have no commitment to “the consent of the governed” or a fairly-elected republican form of government. Their only interest is in making sure their side wins, no matter what they have to do. If it takes people voting more than once, or people voting from the grave, or non-citizens voting, or fake ballots and stuffed ballot boxes, so be it.

The ballot counting would not have been delayed so long but the trucks carrying them had mechanical problems on the way to Florida from Chicago.

I’m generally against compulsory anything, but it seems reasonable to me that you should vote if you want to receive government benefits. Of course, many receiving benefits are democrats (as Mitt Romney pointed out) so this might be counterproductive...

Biometric ID. Scan the retina of every 18 year old citizen when he/she/it/etc. voluntarily applies for a Voter ID card after age 18.

Store the retinal scans on secure servers (!), and assign each a bar code that must match the Voter ID card bar code.

If the voter shows up on Election Day, rescan voter's retina before letting the voter in. If it's a match, OK, voter votes. If no match, person must be turned away. No provisional ballot crap.

No early voting, no mail-in voting. No ID, no vote.

No signatures needed.

Voting procedure: paper ballots only. Ballot must be immediately recordable, verifiable, and have a paper trail.

Once voter is out of the booth, that's it. The vote must be machine-scanned and counted at that time only, only once, at that precinct. If they can build a chute or dumbwaiter to transfer the ballot from each voting booth directly to the scanner (with no humans monkeying around with the ballot), so much the better.

Voter must have a purple finger, or whatever works to show that the person voted, BEFORE leaving the precinct.

Ballots must NOT leave the precinct until all have been scanned, and the number of ballots verified to match the number of voters who showed up that day.

Counties add up all of their precincts' votes. Leaking any subtotals ahead of time shall be a crime. Muck the fedia.

States add up all counties' sums. Leaking any subtotals ahead of time shall be a crime. Muck the fedia.

Each state's total votes shall be announced by noon the following day, by each Secretary of State. These are final and certified. No bullcrap with 'lost or found ballots' allowed.

Exceptions may be made for those with no retinae, or those who can prove they are physically unable to reach the voting location. However, their ballots must be received by express courier before the poll-closing deadline.

You have my respect and appreciation.

But you must also see that the vast majority of women aren’t and cannot be you.

My thoughts on this issue are collective, not individual; and as a right-thinking strong conservative woman I’m sure you can see the math just doesn’t work to your advantage.

Oh come on, would the USA really want to lump itself in with Saudi Arabia when it came to women’s rights?

This author seems to think voter participation is an important metric. Unfortunately I believe that the US participation numbers are low because they use either total US population or total register voters as the denominator. The US has a significant number of people who are not eligible to vote for various reasons, and our voter rolls are a mess with many people registered in multiple states (vast majority of which only vote in one), along with a lot of people on the rolls who are no longer resident in the precinct they are registered in (dead or moved).

I suspect that if proper numbers were actually to be determined the US participation rate would be between 60 and 70%

Perhaps public schools have a lot to do with the dumbing down of ALL citizenry and only the females are showing up on your radar because natural association of sexes (not genders) guides us ALL in a little bit of a different direction.

No. If that’s what I’d meant, that’s what I’d have said.

Lessons Taken from the Recent U.S. Election Mess

The lessons are clear. The Democrat party has become the following:

Operate from the gutter. Destroy, Destroy.
Lie daily because it is part and parcel of their DNA.
They as a group are not worth the space they take up.
They are as corrupt or more then the Organized Crime we all know of.

The destruction of them is the only way to save America. Because it is so close to being lost right now.

Or perhaps women more or less are operating exactly as God designed them.
Not dumb, just different.

We really are different, you know.
