This. In todays world, it’s so easy to generate a unique ID that prevents double counting or non-counting.




Absolutely. And if the ONLY machines recording the votes are at polling stations and people actually had to show up and use their ID, you would see a lot different results.

verify where i voted and by what measure - who/what i voted for on each ballot selection so i can verify my vote didnt get changed


I like this in principle, but the only thing about it is: this data has to live somewhere, and I don’t like the idea of all of this voting data being tied to me for someone to exploit.

national holiday, one day, in-person, electronic, multiple independent overseers of the code/data/tabulation, auditable, publicly available statistics of every metric under the sun reported live over the day

Even if we table the argument on fraud/no fraud, can you at least concede that the manner in which our elections are conducted are at best wildly inefficient and should be improved?

I guess I just fail to see what would make me not trust it. Are there vulnerabilities with every available method? Absolutely, but you put safeguards in place to reduce the risk of those vulnerabilities being compromised.

I have yet to see any compelling evidence to suggest there are rampant integrity issues with our voting systems.

Clean roles. In person voting, early voting allowed if its in person. Mail in votes disallowed along with ballot harvesting and drop boxes.

And I think ink on your finger showing you voted would be valid.

Clean voter rolls. Dead and moved removed.

Vote on election day with a paper ballot, ID, and dip your finger in ink.

Very limited absentee/early vote but must be in person.

A system that can easily be audited by any political party, group or even individual voter.

Counting supervised by party/candidate representatives.

Would you concede if you were a slimy frick on the other side that saw only 17% of the voters beat the other 83%?

A unique voter ID would get rid of this. Ballot harvesting would be non existent as well. A person wouldn't be able to drop a stack of ballots in the mail because the only machines recording votes would be at the polling stations.

It wouldn't...
Say your name is Jeffrey Davis and you live at xxx willow drive.

If someone registers as Jeff Davis at xxxA willow drive online, then votes as that person it doesn't stop it.

I personally know 2 people that that happened to over the last 2 elections.

Then if the find out Jeffrey didn't vote, that's 2 votes to the other side.The counters just backfill it on the other side.

Because Jeffrey doesn't GAF, he's not going to check if someone voted in his stead.

Since the government requires SOX controls on most public filers, there should be a Federal requirement that each state must have their controls over the election process certified and audited by an independent auditing firm. The audit firm MUST be rotated every Presidential election. The states can establish their own process but must be validated.

Control failures MUST have consequences such as removal of elected officials.

Chain of custody must be maintained and documented. Tallies should be conducted by independent auditing firms removing all government parties and a sample of the tallies must be verified by another auditing firm.

The US can piss away money to the Ukraine and doesn’t care about the cost to companies for SOX so they can join the party.

I trust no system that cannot be audited.

The burden should not be on a candidate to “prove fraud.”

The burden should be on the Gvt to prove reliability of the result. The fricking government saying “trust us, it’s legit” doesn’t prove anything

Like France.

Paper Ballots

ID's to vote

Absentee ballots only with a notary signature (The military has this naturally) ID and date. ONLY FOR THOSE UNABLE TO GET TO THE VOTING PLACE.

Voting for TWO days BOTH A NATIONAL HOLIDAY.

Local police or former judges like special master in court-- NON-PARTISAN of some sort-- assigned to each county/parish to count the votes via a machine tabulator.

The counting is monitored LIVE by the cyber ops command and shown LIVE in real time Instead of watching CNN.

After the votes are tabulated, the votes can be fed to the media. AP nor the media calls the election. The individual States do via their nonpolitically appointed rep.

No one can count until they win or find ballots in car trunks.

Many countries forbid mail in ballots because it is wide open for fraud.

Invalidate PA or States that insist on violating election laws. They cannot create new election laws that go against federal election laws.

Get rid of the 19th amendment
Only land owners can vote
Same day voting only
Only paper ballots

It’s really not that difficult.

Also change the paper ballots. I have used them for years now after the R's called for them because the computers were voting straight D years ago.

No more coloring in the oval on paper ballot to vote.

This is 2022 for God sakes. AZ showed the fancier they try to get the more failures...

Have paper ballots where you can X or check mark the person you are voting for.
