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.
We have a lot at stake here. Not only in terms of the kind of political representation we will get in Congress but also the freedom to be able to continue to expose and uncover the unethical and illegal activities of Democrats without fear of retribution and revenge.
Past Democrat administrations including X42 have shown a pechant for misusing and abusing their authority to acehive these means and it has resulted in enormous harm being done to whistleblowers. Just ask those who blew the whistle on X42.
That is why there is much more than representation and freedom here at stake. It's up to us to make sure our representation is not taken away from us by the the unethical and illegal actions of the Demorats in November.
let's keep this thread bumped. Regards...
There're surefire ways to stop the voter fraud cold, y'know.
...& surefire reason(s) why none of those *ways* have ever been used.
Yep...both rats and cockroaches hate the light--turn it on, and they scurry back to their dark recesses... ;-)
Good idea, Fracas.
We have more useful technology available to us than ever before--cell phones, laptops and video cameras in particular. The needed equipment to stop the Dem fraud is not a problem.
The question is this:
Will Republicans take the time and effort to put it to use??
GWB Is The Man !!
Freedom Is Worth Fighting For !!
Molon Labe !!
Indeed.
This election, and the control of the Senate and judicial nominations, is a life and death election for the innocent unborn--but it very well may also determine life and death for thousands or millions of our fellow Americans and others around the world because of the national defense issues that will be be confronted by either an anti-defense Democrat Senate, or a pro-defense Republican Senate, beginning in 2003.
I don't think that assessment is hyperbolic in the least.
In fact, I think any American who votes for a Democrat this year is voting against the safety and security of the American people.

Our county used numbered "seals" on the ballot boxes, and I instructed my workers to check the numbers when the box was sealed at the polling place and again upon arrival at the County Courthouse to be certain that the seal had not been removed. Each election judge had about 6 seals to choose from (all with different numbers) and we also checked to see that there were no duplicate numbers. You could not removed the seals without breaking them.
Even with these precautions and elaborate instructions, I watched when ballot boxes were dropped in the parking lot and spilled their contents all over. Obviously they had left their polling places unsealed, despite all the regulations.
I haven't done this in a few years, and the system here has changed. We have "scanner" ballot boxes that count the votes as we cast them now. I haven't figured out how you could tamper with them, so I haven't figured out what you need to watch for.
Generally the city-hired poll workers were very uncooperative. They considered our efforts to "monitor" the election to be insulting to them -- despite all State Statutes to the contrary.
What do you do in a district that nominated Democrats posing as Republicans for State Assembly? I consider myself a "broken glass Republican" but I cannot vote for our 'candidate' who is running unopposed in my District in the General. The same thing happened in the adjoining district, except that RINO has a Democrat running against him. It is a very dark day in this corner of Wisconsin, looking at the candidates that moved ahead in last week's Primary.
We live in a county where no one except a Republican has ever been elected. That history encourages people to pose as Republicans and then get to the State Legislature and vote the wrong way.
How do you use your email on a laptop without a working phone line?
Well, there are ways. My partner's got a powerful little unit that uses a cell phone.
I refuse to follow your fatalistic advice--rolling over and playing dead is for possums, not for free men and women.
If those in power despise our liberty so much that they will falsify votes, then it is our duty as Americans to hound them from office in disgrace immediately.
Go ahead and sit back--if you think the loss of American life and liberty is fun--but there are some of us out here who aren't going down easy.
Your position is a cowardly one. If that sounds harsh?--Well, actually, I restrained myself from describing it in much harsher terms.
