The concern over voter fraud and the honesty and integrity
of the national voting system has been called into question by every candidate
for POTUS this election cycle. The left is screaming that the minority vote will
be suppressed because state’s that have
exercised their 9th and 10th
Amendment rights as defined by the Constitution say that they are violating the
15th Amendment in doing so.
With amount of electronic involvement in voting and the
inability of the federal govt. to secure and defend the cyber security of the federal
data bases they have, in their infinite wisdom, called for federalization
of the voting process to make it more secure.
This is the same group that had 22.1
MILLION employees, vendors and applicants to the federal govt. recently
stolen by un-identified individuals. Of course the Russians were blamed
immediately, then the Chinese.
It is disconcerting that in the nation where the computer was invented
and the internet was invented (not by Al Gore) and most programming languages were created that
it cannot or will not determine who is responsible.
So their idea is to
centralize the voting to a single national system, which in their minds would
be far less vulnerable than 50 singular systems that report their individual
voter results. And those 50 are also broken down by county and each county may
use one of several voting systems to record the vote. Many use a ballot scanner
which reads the paper ballot and then records the vote. I am a fan of this
method because it leaves a paper trail with every single cast ballot cast. You
have the physical copy of that individuals cast votes to verify the system
recorded it properly and if not can then input that vote to correct the tally
and ensure each American citizen who did exercise their right to vote was
honestly assessed and recorded for the candidate they voted for.
As a former asst.
clerk and clerk for the past 8 years in my county of residence, I have taken a
great deal of pride choosing to be involved in the process at a level that
ensured that no one who was entitled to vote was denied that vote and that
those who were of questionable legality were handled accordingly by rules governing
their cast vote.
But the problem exists, in 2012 not a single vote was cast
in the city of Philadelphia
for Mitt Romney. That’s 19605 votes cast and all were for Obama. By the way Philly there were 1,099,197 voters
registered to vote then and that is the entire turnout that felt it necessary
to exercise their civic duty. For the city that gave birth to our Republic a .17%
voter turnout is beyond shameful. Maybe it
was because the Black
Panthers were blocking the polling places again.
Now as a Physicist and engineer I have studied and
calculated both long chain and long chain lateral mathematical equations and
even using the Markov Chain
you cannot mathematically determine that at least 1 vote would not have been
cast for Mitt Romney. As Mr. Spock would say it does not compute.
We have a problem Houston and that is our voting system is
corrupted and dishonest and the individuals in charge will never correct the
problem without reciprocity. The
threat of jail does not dissuade these individuals from committing voter fraud.
Those individuals are either denied
or celebrated.
So how do we fix this now and not throw out the baby with
the bath water. It’s really kind of simple: the punishment must have a meaningful
effect on the individual and or party that
is benefiting from the criminal action since very little if any criminal
prosecution occurs when voter fraud is committed.
Punish those that benefit: If any vote is questioned and
then determined to be fraudulent the beneficial party or individuals to whom
the illegal votes were cast losses 5 votes.
When voter fraud occurs the results
are never adjusted removing the fraudulent votes until it is either too late or
the re-tally would not affect the outcome as has been restated on hundreds if
not thousands of times.
The re-tallying of votes and their verification occurs anyway
and would not duly delay the FINAL RESULTS.
And it would now place the
responsibility on those that have the most to lose should fraudulent votes be
cast.
It would require every candidate and both major parties to be more
directly involved in vetting voter rolls and removing ineligible voters or
suffer from your own criminality. If 20,000 illegal votes were cast then the
corresponding punishment would be 100,000 votes lost to every candidate who
received them.
I think that might just make a few sphincters pucker hard
enough that the nation might hear the sigh of air movement, don’t you!
