The fact that our vote is anonymous makes it impossible to verify actual votes from fake votes.
Once you hand over your paper ballot, there is no way to prove how you voted after the election. No way to confirm that your ballot was actually counted.
With 30% of the election day machines not working in Maricopa, all the Door 3 votes are at risk for ballot switching, not to mention all the mail in votes.
This is why the tabulators and printers "Malfunctioned" on election day.
After that all they need is time... They are still counting in Arizona, HMMMM
They're Not that great at hiding fraud when millions of people can easily see it. What they are really, really good at is hiding the truth.
We all know it, we just will never prove it.
Here is my solution.
3 part ballot that you tear apart (think forensic tear)
Left side -- actual vote (you put this in the vote bin)
Middle part --- your receipt (you take this home)
Right part --- voter info, signature (you put this in the voters bin)
100 ballots per lot ---- all three parts will be marked with that lot number
All of the "vote" and "voters" tickets will be scanned and posted online by lot number. No "tear" connection can be made between the two without the missing middle receipt piece.
Anyone can check their "forensic tears" online. Only the receipt holder can match both sides.
Raffle tickets use this tearing method to validate a winning ticket.
ALSO:
ANYONE can do can recount from the ballot images.
Nice! Unfortunately according to those in power, we don't have a problem.
The paper "tear" is easy way to randomly generate a unique match
but difficult for a computer to fake
and it is easy for a human to verify.
If a voter finds their "voter" tear online but not their "vote" tear something is wrong.
If a voter finds their "vote" tear but the votes are marked wrong something is wrong.
Ideally you would scan and post online as the first step.
I like the concept of scan and post it online for all to see --- many eyes.
If your 100 vote lots start going overcount or way undercount --- you've got a problem.
If a lot of people can't find their matching tears (out of the 100 in their lot) you've got a problem.
Anyway, you have a forensic way to prove tampering without giving up anonymous..
I do like your idea.
I would like to see a trial run of it with an "evil" team that tries to break it.
This might be a fun test experiment for a high school.
They need chaos ... And chaos comes in the form of mail in ballots.
Absolutely the single biggest problem with EVERYTHING in this country is the TV.
ALL media - tv, radio, social, print - because they currently all overwhelmingly push "the narrative"/lies
I disagree. The issue is signature matching, machine voting, and lack of requiring ID when you go to the polls.
Note that the cyber ninja team was never allowed to do signature matching - which would have exposed oodles of fraud.
If you remove the anonymity of voting, you would get political mobs that would track people's votes and make them into targets.
The problem I'm talking about is after signature matching, when real voters votes are swapped with fake ballots. Once you hand over your ballot there is no way to determine that your vote actually counts as cast. You are simply to trust the system.
I agree anonymity is of utmost importance.
It's the audit where they verify the vote count. It is inadequate to know that it's weighted to the actual winter.
You mean the enormous amount of money available for the campaign cycles? Like the fact that every two years the representatives have the money problem translates to almost constant fundraising. Does all of this play into the greed or worse currently peoples need for rent/groceries/energy?
Another reason to not use machines. You need to have 24 hr/multiple HD cameras on every ballot counted. Each ballot scrolled through under multiple cameras, watched by multiple people from both parties. Each ballot needs to be numbered sequentially so everyone can see that all ballots going through are in order and each one is physically stamped with a date/time stamp on it. This is ALL done at the small local level. No gathering of thousands of ballots and shipping to another location to be counted bullshit. That's how the cheating happens.
Each local polling location has batch totals (every hour) double-checked and agreed upon by both 2 main parties then those tallies are totaled and written down..and also scrolled through under the cameras..just like all the ballots are.
It's not hard to do things fair ..but only when both parties agree to have things done fairly.
But that's not the case, is it? The Dems don't want elections done fairly. They've already done enough pre-election polling to know if everything WAS fair..that they would lose..so they act criminally and cheat. They all need to be tried for treason.
Unfortunately, there really isn't a two party system anymore. We have a Uniparty and the "outsiders" (ie the rest of us and Trump).
Localizing would help but does not entirely fix the problems.
A good part of a solution would be to bring back treason. If u cheat u die or get life in prison.
It is the same problem with our " just us " system. Criminals KNOW there are no consequences, so they just go thru the revolving door and back to their old ways.
Kill enough of them and the word gets around and that is a helluva a deterrent for future cheaters.
I agree with u tho. Definitely need a way to triple check EVERYTHING since we all know pols cheat all the time in every way they can.
