Want to End Electoral Fraud? Light Up the Infrastructure!

When our team broke some of the largest organized property/casualty insurance and Medicaid fraud rings, we found different classes of fraud. There was opportunistic fraud, where someone had a quick shot at a scam, pulled it off, and disappeared. Statistically, that was less than 2%.

Then there was organized auto wreck fraud.

A doctor, for instance, recruits low-income people to stage car accidents. The perp gets a jalopy, swerves in front of the Mercedes on the highway, gets rear ended, and files a claim. So do the other 34 people allegedly in the car.

The doctor treats them all, then sends them to his pal the chiropractor, who sends them to the same attorney, same auto body shop. The same car may be used repeatedly. Medicaid and insurance firms pay the bills.

Why is this so hard to find?

Organized fraud is perpetrated against ten different insurance firms. Each has different rules and regulations for paying claims. Few of them communicate with the others in a timely manner. The names of people are modified, so William Badactor is also W.J. Actor-Badd, also Willba Actor, and literally a dozen other derivatives. Many use Somali and Arabic names, which are particularly unfamiliar to American eyes, thus making naming modifications harder to fathom.

We solved this problem for the TSA when we created similarity matching in building the No-Fly List. We know a lot about this stuff.

The solution for this kind of insurance fraud is to display the infrastructure, rendering it useless. A fraud network that took a decade to build is gone, forever.

We found a doctor connected to a small group of chiros and attorneys. We tied claims to small groups living in a poor, ethnic neighborhood, often the same apartment building.

This became the starting point for fraud ring identification.

Very few were prosecuted. That didn't matter. Once they were identified, tied to rings, it was virtually impossible for perps to continue a promising career in insurance fraud.

Election fraud, folks, has a lot of the same characteristics.

Light Up the Infrastructure!

I've seen the phrase "light 'em up!" used in multiple contexts...

I thought that organizations like TrueThe Vote were working on clearing up voter registration rolls etc. Even if so, not enough. Hopefully Jay Valentine can get something going.

I am not in favor of a national anything. Since we see now that the federal government is the biggest enemy of the people.

National standards can be beneficial. How would you like it if every state had a different electrical outlet? Or different electrical voltages? What if rail gauges were still non-standardized?

There SHOULD be proper national voting standards, such as: ID required, in-person only, one-day of voting only, online personal validation, national election holiday (every 2 years), video of all poll workers, etc. Penalties for fraud should be increased and standardized. The right STANDARDS will eliminate almost all fraud.

It’s the SYSTEM that is broken to allow such things. And in every case that I’m aware of, it’s ALWAYS the leftists that want a weak, fraud-madden system.
