HOW TO LOOK FOR AND RECOGNIZE VOTING FRAUD |
|
Below are some useful thoughts regarding what kind of fraud we should be looking for, and perhaps how we can recognize it when we find it. (I submitted it as part of a thread on Florida fraud, and felt it might be helpful to break out on it's own..)
Think about it - it there is fraud, those who carried it out are not dummies....they very carefully planned it out. A number of factors that would have been considered are listed below (with perhaps the most important, plausible deniability, which spans them all, being listed last):
- Geographic: Should they cheat across the board, and/or have a flex response to fix only what was required. The first has the advantage of cheating early, but the disadvantage of having to commit massive fraud to guarantee the outcome. The flex response has the advantage that a minimal amount of fraud can be tailored to win, but the disadvantage of having to be done in "real-time".
- Voting Machine Type: Which is easier to fix, and which is being monitored less ?
- Level: Cheat at the physical level (ballots, etc.), or at different levels of integration, up to the central tabulator ?
- Involvement: How many people need to know, and how can it be assured them none of them will leak or go public later ?
- Plausible Deniability: Assume that there will be an unavoidable signature to the fraud that someone will eventually pick up. Chose a fraud mechanism that has some plausible explanation that is difficult to disprove.
Here's an intriguing possibility: Commit fraud in the Florida panhandle, and use the "Dixiecrats" phenomena to cover your tracks.
THE BOTTOM LINE: When we discover fraud, it is likely to have these characteristics, rather than a very crude and obvious pattern. We should not be dissuaded by superficial explanations until we have drilled down far enough.
