Critical Election Day Ballot Security Issues
In the 2000 election, questions of voter fraud by our opponents arose across the country. Because of this, we are making it our job to ensure that our opponents don’t get away with ANYTHING on Election Night 2002. That is why we are asking our County Coordinators in West Virginia to do two very specific things in addition to the normal all-day operations of our Republican poll-watchers:
1. Legally, it is necessary that one specific individual in every precinct in the State from each of the two major parties be tasked to accompany the ballot box between the Polling Place and the Courthouse—NEVER letting the ballot box out of their sight. However, experience tells us that in many cases Republican officials have been derelict in this duty--allowing Democrat officials to take the box to the Courthouse unaccompanied. To remedy this, we are asking that each County Coordinator task one reliable individual to:
a) talk to all of the Republican Precinct Poll Workers before Election Day to remind them that no ballot box can go out of the polling place to the Courthouse without escort by a Republican, and
b) that this same individual station themselves at the Courthouse on Election Night with a checklist--to ensure that a Republican shows up with each and every precinct ballot box. Any precinct that does not have a Republican escort should immediately be suspect and open to possible challenge.
2. We are asking our County Coordinators to task one highly competent and reliable individual with a video camera and a tripod to set up in the tabulation area of each and every Courthouse in the State—and to leave the tape rolling from beginning to end of the tabulation process. Past history would indicate that the Democrats who run many of the tabulation operations in many of the Courthouses have allowed the tabulation areas to turn into a party atmosphere, creating a climate that is open to abuse of the counting process. Our experience also is that the presence of a running camera almost automatically creates a serious and secure environment for this most critical of processes.
This same individual, or the County Coordinator, should inform Courthouse officials and/or law enforcement before Election Day—making sure they understand that it is legal and right for us to do so.

I think we should ask for a written response as well, especially here in Florida where outsiders show up to create problems throughout the election process.
Pinellas County Elections does not respond to emails. It's better to call than to email. They take us more seriously if we call. Good luck, I really like the slogan about "a new Jay".
In Florida for example the law says both parties must be represented in every precinct and every board of elections. But that is not true in southern florida. It is not true in Cleveland Ohio, Detrolt Michigan, Pittsburg and Philly Pa. It is not true in chicago and New York NY. It is not true in lots of Democratic strong holds.
Here in Ohio former Repubican Governor Jim Rhodes told me the number of votes stolen by democrats was in excess of 50 thousand each election. That was done in Cleveland and Youngstown. Mostly Cleveland. There was minor stealing in Toledo Ohio too.
If Republicans staff every precint as they are supposed to do, there is little way to cheat. But when Republicans don't staff were there are few if any Republican voters, then that is where the Democrats steal votes.
Democrats buy a lot of votes in nearly every poor district in the USA. They buy votes with money Booze and cigarettes. Most of the money is union funds that is carried on the books as voter education funds. When you see storied that Unions have budgeted x amount for voter education that ismoney used to buy votes.
Like the post says, they just have to make a concerted effort to watch and not let them do it.
Republicans over the years have come to accept the fact that Democrats will cheat. They do nothing about it. It is very good to see some fine citizens in West VA take the lead and set an example for all Americans to emulate.
