 "We The People" need to demand Congress do these fixes.
Tradesman and Friends



This is a group effort what we have come up with as a beginning of some changes we need to order our Representatives to do to clean up the elections. Please feel free to copy this, add anything we might have missed, and question anything you think needs to go.


  In view of the current fiasco we have with the 2020 Election I submit we the people need to demand Congress do these fixes.
1. End bundling.
2. End same day Registration (more on this later).
3. Clean up Voter Rolls (more on this later).
4. End early voting with the exception of special Absentee Ballots (More on this later).
5. Institute Picture ID on voter cards.
6. Computerize Voter Rolls and crosscheck with Death Records,Postal Address Records.
7. Return to Mechanical Voting Machines automatically tally votes W/computer check.
8. Make Voter ID cards with magnetic strip like license or credit cards to use machine
9. End Voter Remorse vote changing.
10. Void all existing voter rolls and make people sign up within 6 months in person.
11. Standardize Absentee Ballots to only allow aged or infirm to access them.
12. Allow for verifiable computer voting from home for periods like the C-19 crisis.
13. Have randomized computer generated codes specific to voter for Computer Voting.
14. Create Law to prevent Media from calling a winner. Only allow them to see totals.
15. Have State by State real time # of votes displayed on central tally board.
16 Individual Precincts to keep tally's on file for ten years from election poll closings.
17. Disallow any votes to be included except those waiting to be in final count.
18. Electronically lock drop boxes & W/lock release card given to authorized collectors.
19. Have drop boxes scanner code necessary to pick up, and transmit who did.
20. Have scanners at each station the ballots go through for chain of evidence.   

Starting from #1. It is imperative that the practice of Vote Bundling be stopped because of the potential for fraud or accidental loss or other mishandling of voters ballots.
It's also necessary to end same day registrations to end the potential for multiple, illegal, or false name registrations.

For clearing non-valid names off the voter rolls with the potential to remove every name that is not supposed to be there. My friend Oren proposed that right after an election was over and verified, purge the entire set of existing voter rolls and if people wanted to vote, they would have up until 6 months before the next election to re-register, but had to go and register in person with proof of citizenship.

The next issue is early voting. There may be a need to vote early, but it must be defined as those people who qualify for an Absentee Ballot can send it in up to a month early. Others who wish to vote early must vote in person at the clerks office.

This brings us to the idea of Picture Voter ID. Since voter ID is not charged for, it could be provided like then DMV provides Picture Driver licenses. It could even become part of a driver license. All of the new registrations would have to be computerized and be cross checked with Death Records and Postal Address Records on file at the post office.

Standardizing of the requirements for Absentee Ballots could easily be done to only issue them to aged 65 or older,infirm, crippled, or other physical condition that would not allow a person to get to the polls. There is also a possibility to encode a random computer generated personal ID code in the voter ID, like your Driver License Number, that would allow people to vote anywhere and the vote would go directly to their precinct to be tabulated. That number would be with the voter for life and be cross checked with Death records to invalidate it on the voters death It could be used to vote from your home computer with the vote automatically being tabulated and preventing multiple or illegal votes.

Since there has been so much Chaos surrounding the media calling the elections and that calling skewing votes a law needs to be enacted to prevent media or anyone from calling an election until all the votes have been tabulated. all the precincts would be connected to one State tabulation board that would automatically display numbers as they came in for the official count. Special inputs with certified and equal numbered watchers would watch poll workers enter ballots into the absentee ballot tabulation machine. Precincts would be required to keep the electronic records for five years of the votes.

Set up permanent drop box locations that can only be placed and/or removed with an electronic key, and the key will only be given to the certified ballot box collectors. The drop boxes would be dropped off at the poll opening picked up when the polls closed. All boxes would be under camera surveillance for the duration of the voting day. Internal configuration would be tamper proof cells that contained the ballots which could not be accessed except at the polling station with proper tools and scanners. Ballots will be numbered and the numbers will be scanned in at every station to verify chain of evidence on who handled it and where, even to who and where they were disposed of.


I would add;
poll watchers from both parties inspect each ballot before it is logged into the count. I would also mandate video surveillance of all polling place activities and the recordings be maintained 10 years under a strict evidentiary chain to preserve it's validity.
