The Heritage Foundation took a small mountain of data and crunched it. The result is the election integrity scorecard. It is a map of US states and the District of Columbia; each scored based on twelve criteria.
From the About.
In order to help voters, state legislators, election officials, and all Americans who are interested in ensuring a fair and secure election process, The Heritage Foundation has published this Election Integrity Scorecard, which compares the election laws and regulations of each state1 that affect the security and integrity of the process to the Foundation’s best-practices recommendations. These recommendations were created by analysts at The Heritage Foundation in consultation with a wide variety of outside election experts.
My first observation?
That the states with the worst scores were all overwhelmingly deep blue.
Vermont, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Washington, Oregon, California, and Hawaii had the worst ratings (red). Nevada and Nebraska also ping red, which in this survey means blue or bluing.
It cannot be a coincidence the absence of election integrity measures equates to consistent (and persistent) Democrat party victory where the strongest protections produce Republican states.
This should set off alarm bells.
New Hampshire, for example, was in the middle of the pack (with 64%), but after reviewing the metrics and our ratings, we should probably be orange at the very least. The state gives rights to out-of-state students they can’t give to GraniteStaters, and it skews elections, and that’s not calculated anywhere I can identify.
It also tells us where we are headed.
Lax controls that limit access to actual residents lead to a blue future. Failing to address election integrity will be the end of the New Hampshire Advantage.
