How Your Parents' Votes Were Counted

[kster]

(Oldie but a goodie)

Snip....Once upon a time, Americans voted by Paper Ballot. At the end of the day after the polls had closed, neighborhood people, Democrats and Republicans, worked together to count the votes in the precinct (polling place) BEFORE the votes left that precinct. The count was then posted at the precinct polling place for all to see. This is the only way to insure a verifiable election. Variations of method are possible, but the elements of physical ballots which are counted and posted at the precinct before the ballots leave each precinct are essential to insure a fair and honest count.

To rig an election with the above safeguards built in, one would have to bribe many hundreds of neighborhood people, including key Democrats and Republicans in each precinct you hoped to rig. Finally, the group of people bribed at each precinct would only have access to a tiny fraction of the vote.

SNIP..."A House Without Doors"

In an earlier clip during this CBS interview, Howard J. Strauss dropped this bombshell: "When it comes to computerized elections, there are no safeguards. It's not a door without locks, it's a house without doors."

1. Still using paper ballots in Spain.

Citizens man election tables (you are called the way we are for jury duty); each table is for 300 voters; election table workers must agree on the count before sending it on in a sealed envelope to a central point. Count accomplished in a few hours. No voter registration, since Spain has national ID cards -- you show up with your card at your precinct and vote at the designated table.

3. You are so right...excellent post, excellent bookmark. Recommend

Good point about multiplying the numbers you have to bribe.

My system is fool proof.

Paper, hand count WITNESSED BY BOTH PARTIES AND ANYONE ELSE WANTING TO WITNESS; announce the precinct results by posting outside the precinct and posting on the internet; seal boxes and take them, observed, to a location, monitored, for storage. that's it. no wifi networks, no central tabulators, nothing but precincts.

Now, if the Democrats and Republicans don't care enough, if the public doesn't care enough, to monitor then it's a problem but they do!
