I want to be sure that only RESIDENTS (not students who live out of state) and REAL US citizens (not illegal aliens) voting and only ONCE.
I want any votes to be counted with both parties watching (not having one side show up to count absentee ballots and hear the other side did it already).
I had a friend who received multiple ballots to her home in Georgia. All her neighbors received multiple also unrequested. Where did those ballots go? Do not allow that.
What I’d like to see:
Hand counts are preferred, but if a Computer is used, the source code is checked BEFORE the voting by a a LOCAL Republican and Democrat. Computer companies say no one can look – It’s proprietary. If we can not check it, we shouldn’t use it!
Or have all the candidate names entered at the local level. Then, the towns could send a fax or attach a doc to the state prior to the election for a recheck if it is correct. then there is no “contamination” of the machine. (Except one at a time. Much harder to do as much damage.)
NO to Federal agency/ies being involved. Only state and local control! The bigger/higher up the more chance of widespread corruption.
NO voting without a paper trail! No online machines.
But there needs to be a recheck even with the paper trail. It doesn’t matter if there are papers if it’s not checked. So, a couple of small towns and a couple of city wards in each state count votes by hand as a quality assurance measure. Locations where counting will be are chosen FOLLOWING the election so no one knows where it will be beforehand.
No mailing absentee ballots without a specific request for one
Yes, signatures need to be checked.
Elections have to be redone if they don’t make sure that both parties closely WATCH the count. So election officials will make sure that poll watchers are present, an integral part of the counting.
In Plymouth, the Republican was told to come on one day, and when he arrived, they said they counted all the mail-ins the day before – all Dems
NO connection to the Internet. Each town or city ward posts its results so anyone can add them up. We shouldn’t need special tabulators. List results from each machine. We can add up these up. All the machines that they said were not connected to the Internet; they didn’t have hard wires, but people saw the wireless icon at the bottom active.
These videos are VERY informative – please review them and share them:
Computer programmers can rig elections – you can’t tell if the election is over.
Watch the machines count wrong – it counts right until you say ‘run the election:
