Early Voting

Posted in Uncategorized by

The Democrats would have you believe that they are protectors of democracy. It is a ruse. They don’t want democracy at all. They want power and if you don’t hand it to them them they will take it, like it or not.

During the last presidential election, fraud or not. they did not follow the law, and they admitted it. They are brash in their efforts, doing the unlawful right out in plain sight.

Perhaps one place they cheat is in early voting. While early voting itself has been made legal, by the dems, it makes illegal voting easy.

I’m not going to try to explain it. If you don’t already know, no one ever will convince you. Mostly, it is a matter of willful ignorance. The truth is that it needs no explanation. It is casual to the most obvious observer.

Nonetheless, there is one thing I will explain that cannot be denied. If you decide to pull that lever early, figuratively, you can’t change your mind. If the person you voted for does something atrocious, sorry. You will not be able to reverse your decision. It is not only a matter of knowing who you want to vote for. It is also a matter of the person you vote for remains the person you want.

It is far better that to wait until voting day. Make that candidate work for your vote all the way till the end.

Though they did not write it into the Constitution, It is clear that it was the way it was intended.

On the other hand, the founders likely figured, if we ever started coming up with early voting, there would be nothing they could do to protect us from ourselves. Perhaps, just maybe they were right.

Secure Vote

Prior to the chad fiasco, Desoto County, MS used the punch system & it seemed reasonable to me. Since then, the came up with what looks to me as an ultra-secure. It looks so secure that I wish they would use it throughout the US.

Before I explain it, let me interrupt myself just a little. A perfect system won’t work without A. a good accurate system of registration. B. a good method of ID. C. minimum mail-in votes. Personal note, internet votes are not secure but it could be made more accurate than mail-ins. There are far too many ways of tampering with the mail-ins. D. drop boxes should never, ever be permitted.

Now, let me explain what we now have for voting. When I go in to vote, my picture ID is checked and I am given a piece of paper. If I prefer, I am given an old fashioned paper ballot.

Assuming I choose the new system, as most do, I go to a computer, enter the paper and complete my vote. The computer prints my vote on the paper, which, in essence has become my completedpaper ballot.

Once I verify it’s correct, I take it to a separate machine and slide the ballot into the 2nd computer.

At this time, my vote is recorded in 3 places, once on paper.

I am not sure what the recount procedure would be, but, if nothing else there is a hard-copy on paper that can be physically counted.

If it were up to me me, regardless of the results, I would do a random check of every 1000th ballot and check it against the computer images. There should be no discrepancy. If any show up, I would endeavor to determine why and correct it.

If we make our methods secure, only then will people trust it, only then will the dishonest be completely discouraged.
