LET’S STOP ELECTION FRAUD

ELECTION FRAUD IS DESTROYING THE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS OF SELECTING OUR REPRESENTATIVES; IT MUST STOP OR OUR REPUBLIC IS LOST.

The pundits say the election process is decided by the states, and it is a state issue. That is not true!

According to the Constitution of the United States of America, ARTICLE I, SECTION 4, CLAUSE 1 - The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, ...” CONGRESS HAS THE POWER TO STOP ELECTION FRAUD NATIONALLY.

Why has no one in our Congress had the guts and gumption to at least submitted a bill to clean up our election mess? Even facing a tough road to approval, it will stir the pot that needs to be stirred. We need to weed out those who actually support crooked elections.

We need to assure: 

· Assure non-citizens cannot vote in a federal election

· Assure anyone eligible to vote can vote if he/she so chooses

· Assure a person can only vote once

· Assure voter registration rolls are routinely verified for accuracy

· Provide severe criminal penalties for those who violate election law

Below is a list of measures needed to stop election fraud: Only a corrupt official would oppose these measures:

1. Voter ID—Require address and citizenship verification by state or federal government issued photo ID cards for all in person voting in precincts as well as absentee voters.

2. Paper Ballots—Paper ballots only, no election machines for voting in federal elections—best if paper ballots could be produced in a manner that they could not be forged. The paper ballots must be safeguarded and stored in the event a hand count audit is required.

3. One Day Voting—With the exception of overseas military and absentee ballots, all eligible voting nationally shall be in-person voting on the federally designated 24 hour election day. The postmark for absentee ballots to be no later than Election Day.

4. Voter Registration Deadline—Voter registration deadline to be at least 2 weeks prior to election, no provisional ballots allowed.

5. Keep Voter Rolls Current—Verify accuracy of voter rolls at a minimum every two years to assure the accuracy of potential eligible voters. Voter rolls to be controlled by the local district.

6. Absentee Ballots—No mass mailing of ballots. Only eligible voters who apply for absentee voting will be mailed ballots. Absentee ballots for voters shall not automatically renew but be subject to renewal prior to each election. All absentee ballots must be verified by signature on file and the envelopes secured and maintained for audit after the ballots are removed. Any questionable absentee ballots are to be kept unopened with the ballot enclosed for further adjudication as to whether the signature on the envelope is valid or not. The signature used for verification of absentee voting to be updated at least once every 10 years.

7. Independent observers—Independent observers from each political party shall be permitted to verify the process of all vote counting in each election district. Observers to be selected before the election by a public meeting of registered voters prior to each election.

8. Coercion—Voting is a free choice and must remain completely voluntary for an eligible voter. Any method by another party to coerce an individual to vote by offering remuneration or reward of any kind in order to get a person to vote is a crime punishable under this act.

9. Fraudulent Voting—Voting on behalf of a deceased, another individual, via multiple ballots, or the submission of any other vote not specifically authorized to do so is a Federal crime to be punished to the fullest extent of the law. For a non-citizen to vote in a Federal election is cause for their immediate deportation to their native country of origin and permanent expulsion from further entry into the United States of America or its territories. To be illegal for Citizens to assist or encourage non-citizens to vote and such will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

10. Minimize wait time—Make it easier and faster for voters to vote as well as to tabulate votes and keep track of ballots. Divide each state into small subdivisions averaging 50,000 or less in population. Within each district, further subdivision into precincts sized for less than 1,000 eligible voters, to facilitate the registered local population being able to vote without undo delay on Election Day. At the close of the election day, ballots to be tabulated by district. Ballots are to be safe-guarded and maintained after the counting by each election district. Each district to tally and certify the results and maintain the ballots available for audit. The results for federal offices in the election shall be posted to a national database and the results available to the general public.

11. Prohibit Ballot Harvesting, Ballot Drop-boxes and Private Funding—Third party collection of ballots to be illegal, and all forms of “ballot harvesting” to be illegal. End the practice of having ballot drop-boxes. Ban all private funding or financing of government election offices and staff.

12. End Gerrymandering—The political gamesmanship of Gerrymandering is destroying the democratic process of selecting and electing our representatives. A method must be created and implemented that does not allow for political manipulation based on demographics. Possibly it would be based on a computer generated system using purely populations in conjunction with existing city and county boundaries to proportion legislative districts based on the most recent census. Work should commence immediately to develop such a system that is free of political manipulation.

How can We the People force Congress to fix our election system, and to fix it properly? Good Question!

That is why We the People need to learn to work together, especially on the issues we share in common—to make the Great American Experiment in Self-Government by We the People to actually work!
