Thanks for posting both the updates and the constitutional process.
I still think amendments are needed, but am uncomfortable in light of a takeover of our election system. It should be a given that enemies and traitors of the United States are not sitting idle, rather they are working diligently to perfect a plan to cheat and steal control of Congress this November.
Here is one new development to close the loop on the threat posed by after-election audits, having paper ballots match images and totals, thereby perfecting the crime.

Although only 13 states are needed to block ratification of a reckless amendment proposed by left-moderate schemes, making it enormously difficult to ratify say, a Biden backed amendment, it is imperative that the current election system be thoroughly scrutinized and reformed before entertaining any amendments to the Constitution.
A multi-year commission is needed to investigate every facet of the November 2020 election, including involvement of Republicans. Further, such commission investigation should extend back before 2020.
At federal, state, and county levels, the infestation of vote and election fraud goes beyond 2020 leaving ordinary Americans with the shocking and sad awareness that many in elected offices today are occupied by illegitimate officeholders because of cheating.
We simply can’t have this.
Because state legislatures are crucial to ratifying amendments to the US Constitution, it is vitally necessary that state legislatures be scrubbed as well of any cheating, past, present, and future.
One amendment that will ferret out the cheaters will be an amendment to require fully effective, impenetrable, security in our elections, so that Americans will not be unduly concerned or convinced that their vote has no value. One such security approach that is easy to implement by every precinct in every state, with or without machines, is a specification of physical ballots and minimal ballot management such as tracking the number of ballots in circulation. Such a thorough approach to ballot security was proposed by AZ Rep Mark Finchum who just won the primary election for AZ SOS.
Minimum ballot security specifications and security management, once tested and proven effective, should then be proposed as an amendment to the US Constitution, making each State required to conform with minimal, effective ballot security.
It is true that the vast part of elections administration rests with individual States, but we are today confronted with technology that is able to subvert elections to the point of taking control of state and federal government.
Therefore, we need an amendment that focuses on effective election security.
I have come to believe that Obama did not win a second term in 2012 and that Bush did not win a second term in 2004.
Today we have an illegitimately elected Congress, illegitimately elected state, county and local governments, illegitimately elected school boards, and illegitimately decided initiatives, referenda and recalls.
We have to start over with voter registration and vetting.
