The only way to make elections resilient to fraud is decentralization and transparency. Luckily, we have thousands of years of experience showing us how to do this.

Count Votes in the Precinct
For most of US history, votes were counted at the precinct, results provided to a central agency, and ballots preserved for canvassing, recounts, and audits.

This system worked because a representative of each party watched and confirmed the counts—parties who were willing (maybe eager) to turn each other in.

What’s more, most of the Western World still counts votes this way.

Corey Doctorow is a left-wing Canadian author who specializes in high-tech. Following the 2020 election debacle, Doctorow solved our election problems in one sentence:

Elections are actually easy: paper ballots, hand-marked and hand counted in sight of scrutineers from opposing parties.
Exactly what I am saying. Exactly how it’s done everywhere except the USA and banana republics where the CIA wants to control the outcome.

Doctorow goes on to explain how the US election system got so screwed up:

But thanks to a highly consolidated vote-tech sector with plenty of money to spend, Americans have been convinced that this can't work for America.

The vote-tech lobbyists have convinced US politicians that we have too many people to hand-count ballots.

BS, as Doctorow points out:

Canada and the UK don't consolidate all their ballots to a single counting-house where, like, eight people tally the nation's votes.

The votes are counted at the polling place. America has more polling places than Canada, but there's no reason it can't have the same ratio of polling places – and ballot-counters– to-voters as Canada does. To a first approximation, that's already true. ...

With precinct voting, results would be known within two hours of poll closing. And fraud, which will still be attempted, would be limited to a few, identifiable precincts and persons.

Counting in the Precinct Puts Dominion Out of Business
Vote-tech companies spend billions in lobbying (bribing) politicians. These firms have made our elections expensive, slow, opaque, and fraud-ridden. Vote-tech deserves to be destroyed.

For the Missouri General Assembly’s next session, let’s pressure our lawmakers to take the next step in cleaning up elections by demand precinct-level counting and certification. While we’re at it, let’s step up pressure on Missouri’s Secretary of State (and likely gubernatorial candidate), Jay Ashcroft, to push the precinct counting initiative.

Make elections fast, cheap, and transparent with a reasonable audit trail, and many other problems disappear.

Mike Lindell is skeptical about the results of the 2020 U.S. election where Biden won the presidency — he is extremely outspoken about it.

He believes the government is trying to intimidate him because they don’t want him to rid the country of electronic voting machines.

Senior Google engineer, Zach Vorhies, leaked 950 pages of internal documents that prove Google used censorship, blacklist, and machine learning algorithms to rig the 2020 election.

Pennsylvania County Sues Dominion Voting Systems for 'Unauthorized Python Script' & 'Foreign IP Address'
Fulton County, Pennsylvania filed a lawsuit against Dominion Voting Systems this morning for a “breach of contract”.

The report alleges that Fulton County’s log files show “an external IP address” located in Quebec, Canada, and that an unauthorized “python script” had been installed after the certification date.

Moreover, the system’s security patch had not been updated since April 10, 2019, and default usernames and passwords had not been changed since the time of installation.

The report says, "This python script can exploit and create any number of vulnerabilities including, external access to the system, data export of the tabulations, or introduction of other metrics not part of or allowed by the certification process."

What’s more, this “external IP address” was found on the very same adjudication workstation that contained the “post certification python script”.

Momentum Is Building for Counting Ballots by Hand
Centralized vote counting is designed for fraud ...

When we asked about the historic levels of distrust in our election system, Senator Eigel said, “As it turns out, we already had the answer for election integrity long before November 2020. We had been following it for more than two centuries by hand counting ballots. Today, hand counting is still used all over the world to reflect accurate elections and, frankly, was used here in America for more than two centuries.”

“It wasn’t until some very powerful special interests that make lots of money selling these machines that suddenly we had pressure to change our process,” Eigel said. “The chaos of the 2020 election is the clearest legacy of that change.”

Hennessy’s View pointed out in a previous post that science fiction author (and progressive) Corey Doctorow believes the US needs to ditch its centralized vote-tech and return to hand counting ballots in the precinct. Eigel agrees.

“The novelty of technology, in this case, didn’t make our government process better or more transparent. In fact, faith in our electoral process is lower than it has been than perhaps at any point in American history.”

Despite what Democrats say, early voting does not live up to its promise. It does not save money, and we cannot determine with certainty that it boosts turnout. It does, however, increase the potential for fraud.

There are two kinds of voter fraud. One is obvious voter fraud. That's the kind we know about and hear about every day:

Voting machines programmed to "flip" votes from one candidate to the other.
Pre-printed bogus ballots stuffed into voting machines to inflate the count.
Voter participation that exceeds 100% of the number of registered voters in that precinct.
Observers/poll watchers of one party being ushered out of the tabulation area so that the other side is free to manipulate the totals.
"Mules" being hired to stuff ballot pickup boxes with additional fraudulent ballots.
Mysterious boxes of additional ballots — all for one candidate — suddenly materializing in the wee hours of the morning being added to the vote count.
Legitimate absentee ballots not being counted because they'd likely be for the "wrong" candidate.
State voting laws and procedures being illegally changed to favor one party over the other.
Mail-in voting procedures — such as signature matching and verification — being intentionally disregarded as long as the vote is for the "correct" candidate.

These are the most widely known forms of voter fraud. But there is a more insidious form of voter fraud. Evil, deceptive, subtle, and cunning. This kind of fraud is practiced — or even attempted — only at the very highest levels, by real political pros, people who have immersed themselves in a lifetime's dedication to undetectable, completely inconspicuous election-fixing. This is done where one side would never even consider that the other side warrants a fair shot at election victory. The thinking goes, "We've always won, we'll always win, it's our birthright." ...

Here's the latest example. In March 2022, The Democrat-dominated Massachusetts State Legislature passed a new law that gives drivers' licenses to illegal aliens and automatically registers them to vote at the time they get their license. This law, in addition to all the other bad things it cements into place, creates an entirely new pool of bogus Democrat voters. These people will be on the official voters' rolls — so they can vote in elections — but they're not U.S. citizens, and so they are technically not qualified to vote.

JACKSON: "Each time I get someone to sign they gave me $200."

OFFICER: "To sign the absentee ballot?"

JACKSON: "Yeah, but that wasn't easy though, those people were 65 and older you know."

OFFICER: "How many people you get to sign?"

JACKSON: "One day I got like $1200. It was like four hours."

OFFICER: "Did you fill out anything or did you have them fill it out?"

JACKSON: "No, I filled it out while I was talking to them, and then I switched it around, and let them sign it."

OFFICER: "So you voted everyone for them?"

JACKSON: "Yeah, yeah pretty much. You know once you vote one just vote all Democrat... and they wasn't intending to do that."

OFFICER: "How would you get them to sign?"

JACKSON: "I was told to tell them we were just making sure what we got in the system is correct. And they already had the information; they had their name, their kids name, or how old they was, their birthday, their phone number. I would say is this information correct? They said yeah and I said well sign if it's correct. Once they signed then they voted."

OFFICER: So was that paper ballot or on the computer?

JACKSON: Both. Tablet was in my hand and I had paper as well.

OFFICER: So then you would take it back to?

JACKSON: Stuart Clegg and Deborah Peoples. She was the district Chair for Democratic headquarters.

OFFICER: How much money did you make?

JACKSON: I did it for like six months man. I had gotten a room at the Echo. Stayed up there for six months... Every day I got someone to sign you know.

OFFICER: So in six months’ time how much do you think roughly?

JACKSON: I'd say on average at least $900 or $1200 a week. Five days a week.

OFFICER: Would they pay you cash?

JACKSON: Cash.

OFFICER: So who would actually give you the cash?

JACKSON: Stuart. Deborah gave me cash too. Stuart gave me cash. Rubin gave me cash. Then they gave me bonuses and they bought me a moped.

OFFICER: How'd you meet them?

JACKSON: I was on Race street and they had a rake and a shovel and I was going and trying to find work. You know how the grass grows on the sidewalks. So I done that you know [inaudible]. You can come back tomorrow and do my flowers. Well, I done that too you know. Well, you can come by tomorrow.

OFFICER: Who was saying this to you?

JACKSON: Deborah Peoples. And then she called Stuart Clegg to come over and said he's a good worker you know. He said hey man come on and help me put these signs out. So I start putting signs out and then I start working the polls and then I start doing a lot of things.

Flint, Michigan’s longtime city clerk is retiring after an election integrity group sent a letter to her office demanding she balance out the number of Democrat and Republican election inspectors.

On Sept. 6, Pure Integrity Michigan Elections (PIME) and attorney Erick Kaardal of the Thomas More Society sent a demand letter to Flint and City Clerk Inez Brown threatening legal action if they do not balance out the number of partisan poll watchers before the November general election. As previously reported, during Flint’s Aug. 2 primary, the city hired 422 Democrats compared to just 27 Republican election inspectors — in direct violation of a Michigan state statute that requires equal representation of party election inspectors.

Nancy Pelosi just extended proxy voting until Nov. 10 - AFTER THE MIDTERMS - because of Covid.

But Joe Biden just told us Covid is over.

Now do you see why we question the 2020 election?

Fair elections would end the oligarchy rule in the US.

After receiving public pressure from President Joe Biden, California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a bill that will make it easier for the state's farmworkers to unionize.

Newsom's office had originally signaled a reluctance to sign the legislation, which allows farmworkers to vote by mail in union elections. Newsom's office said the bill relied on "an untested mail-in election process that lacks critical provisions to protect the integrity of the election."

Dem Gets 30 Months in Prison for Election Fraud Crimes, Such as Stuffing 'Ballot Boxes' from 2014-2018

A former Democratic congressman is going to prison for election fraud.

Michael “Ozzie” Myers of Philadelphia was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison on Tuesday, according to a Justice Department news release.

The politician served nearly two terms in the House of Representatives from 1976 to 1980, representing what was then Pennsylvania’s 1st Congressional District.

Myers admitted to orchestrating the fraudulent stuffing of ballot boxes in Pennsylvania elections in 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018, according to the Department of Justice.

The political operative worked with elections judges Marie Beren and Domenick Demuro in his fraud operation, according to Fox News. Demuro admitted in May 2020 to taking bribes from Myers, and Beren “pleaded guilty to the scheme in October 2021.”

Myers arranged ballot stuffing in favor of Democratic candidates who had paid him “consulting fees,” according to the Justice Department.

The corrupt election workers would add ballots in favor of Myers’ clients and proceed to certify the compromised results.

In a remarkable twist, this isn’t even the first time that Myers has been locked up for corruption.

Myers served three years of prison time for accepting bribes from FBI agents posing as wealthy Arab sheikhs seeking political favors in the so-called “Abscam” scandal, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

The Democrat would be expelled from the House in 1980 for the scandal, becoming one of the few representatives in the history of Congress to be given the boot.

Prosecutors are pointing to Myers’ crimes as poison to election confidence in Philadelphia.

Bombshell Texts Show Milwaukee Mayor Colluding With Democrats To Rig 2022 Election ...

While city officials, under the direction of Chheda, have said Milwaukee is not receiving any private funding for the effort, two things are clear: The mayor’s office is taking orders from Democratic Party operatives, and the city of Milwaukee is coordinating with left-wing groups in what looks like an expensive effort to influence the outcome of November’s election. ...

The party says that records released give the appearance of coordination between Johnson’s office and longtime Democratic Party operatives. If that coordination involves the use of government resources or personnel to drive Democratic Party voter turnout, that would be a violation of state statutes and the city of Milwaukee’s own “Political Activity Policy.”

RPW Executive Director Mark Jefferson says the party is deeply concerned that cities like Milwaukee are working with Democrat operatives and partisan third-party groups to get out the vote “in a manner designed to tip the scales for Democrats.”

“Government’s role in elections must be to ensure fairness and transparency, not to benefit one party at the expense of another, and we will aggressively fight to ensure that election laws are followed,” Jefferson said.

Brazil is tense: my view, a November 2020 US repeat will happen, the right players are finding votes for Lula over Bolsonaro; Bolsonaro won, but they are now going to find Lula votes, lets see!

After further investigation, election officials realized that the anomaly caused 7 out of 18 tabulators to miscount ballots.

The State of Tennessee, the EAC, and the two accredited entities that test voting machines, Pro V&V and SLI Compliance, investigated the anomaly and were able to repeat the problem but were "not able to determine the root cause of the anomaly.”

That's why we need REPEATED HAND COUNTING by members of all political parties, local to each polling station.

How a Tiny Elections Company Became a Conspiracy Theory Target
Election deniers catapulted a Michigan firm with just 21 U.S. employees to the center of unfounded voter fraud claims, exposing it to vicious threats.

Election Software Executive Arrested on Suspicion of Theft
The executive, Eugene Yu, and his firm, Konnech, have been a focus of attention among election deniers.

CEO of election company that sued True the Vote was just ARRESTED for exactly what True the Vote has been claiming...

Last month True the Vote was sued by a Michigan election company for defaming them.

According to the Texas Tribune, Konnech sued True the Vote for claiming, among other things, that they stored US election data on a server in China:

In addition, the complaint says, True the Vote, Engelbrecht, and Phillips “falsely claimed” they discovered Konnech had stored data on an unsecured server in Wuhan, China, “which Defendants hacked into and stole data from,” including personal data on 1.8 million poll workers “which they claim is a vehicle for the Chinese Communist Party to breach U.S. elections.”

The company said it uses no such server, and stores all U.S. data “exclusively on protected computers located within the United States.” In addition, it said, it does not have data on that many poll workers “or even a small fraction of that number.”

There are other allegations highlighted in this defamation lawsuit but this one is the most pertinent right now.

Why? Because the CEO of Konnech was just arrested for storing election data on a server in China!
