I and one other person prepared the document. I’m just a Louisiana native. The RFP is readily available on the Secretary of State’s website. Anyone can read it.

Ballots need to be numbered and as hard to counterfeit as a $100 bill. All voter registrations need to be physically confirmed and signature checked.

I'd love to help in any way possible.

Time, money, whatever.

How can I help?



I will not complain about the system and do nothing.

Email me at LibertyLa@protonmail.com and I’ll bring you into the fold. We are getting our feet wet in all sorts of things. In the meantime, information is key:

* Learn your way around: sos.la.gov
* read the scope of work in the RFP
https://wwwcfprd.doa.louisiana.gov/osp/lapac/agency/pdf/7549800-02.pdf

* get familiar with how to find things in the election code:
https://www.sos.la.gov/ElectionsAndVoting/PublishedDocuments/ElectionCode.pdf

For some demo on how to find things on sos.la.gov you can watch my crappy 10 minute video

Also, this meeting with all its recommendations for change to the election code happened the day after the RFP was released. Look through it for shitty changes that allows for a private vendor to come in and take over old election procedures that humans otherwise would have performed and any other crappy lagniappe. I’ll be doing the same.

Paper ballots only, hand counts only.

Hear hear. Paper ballots and hand count only. I don't even care if it takes an extra day to count. That's enough talk about machine involvement. This is THE area where automation has no place. It cannot be done honestly and you are an absolute fool to believe it can. They laugh that you are working with them to set up these machines. The sheer amount of complex junk being added to merely tabulate is by design guys.

I say gut it out. Give us paper so we can make our mark and move the heck on with life. Why does everything we do now become an episode of days of our lives.

Shameless bump as the topic has separately gained traction.

Did you ultimately present this to the legislature? What were results and feedback?

Surely you have a website?

What other ways have you tried to spread this information?

I am utterly horrified.

Blueboxer I’d like to see this as a focus of our next billboard.

Just say Neaux to Dominion

The committee meeting has been delayed due to weather. Not rescheduled just yet. No website other than some communication channels we use to coordinate and execute projects. All are welcome. Just email me at LibertyLa@protonmail.com.

This is absolutely insane! Ardoin should be spending his time investigating the myriad serious allegations against Dominion instead of crafting a sweeheart $100 million contract.

I'm going to call him. He needs to answer for this dereliction of duty. His number is (225)922-2880 if anyone else wants to do their civic duty and keep our state elections from being destroyed.

Definitely.


People have no idea this is happening.
