I was getting frustrated. Part of the plan is to sit back and enjoy the show. Maybe the other part of the plan is to take over school boards, run for office, become a poll worker, get active with research. Here's what I've done so far.
-Called local GOP. Not much was happening there.
-Emailed county clerk about voter records.
-Drove down to county office to buy records for Nov 2020 election. ($25)
-Started going through precinct-by-precinct.
-Noticing a lot of issues. Women voting with both married and maiden names. People voting with middle name ("Jay") and middle initial ("J"). People voting from extended stay hotels (maybe sometimes ok). 88 people in county over 100 years old (again maybe normal, but...).
-Learning a lot about neighborhood like, who lives with parents and grandparents. When list is sorted by address, I can tell if there is an little old married couple living there if all i see is two birthdays in a row the same year or close (1920's and 1930's!). When sorted by birthday, it's cool to see the naming trends, Evelyn's and Thelma's all the way up to McKenzi's and Micaela's.
Three requests:
- If you're looking for something to do, do what I did in your local town.
- If you're looking for something to do, help me go through my county. I'll gladly separate each precinct to crowdsource this. 3.Help me with next steps and brainstorm what we should be looking for to find potential illegal ballots (same name, same birthday, different address; same birthday, same address, different last name; etc.).
DO IT!!!
