Ban all Dominion voting machines used in elections and outlaw total mail in ballots processes. Specifically the type and method used in Colorado.
All ballots in CO are sent out by mail, and completed ballots are either returned by mail or dropped into drop boxes. In most counties, you can’t even vote in person, and can’t run your own ballot through the machine.
In CO, if you are registered Independent (40% of CO voters are), you actually receive 2 ballots. One Republican and one Democrat. That leaves 40% unused ballots floating around in public. Opening the door to wide spread voter fraud. Mail in ballots have zero chain of custody integrity. USPS routinely losses, delivers to wrong addresses, or delivers ballots to designated voting locations AFTER the elections. This happened in many counties in 2024 election. Many ballots were stolen and many known fradulant votes were counted without a remedy to remove them from machine totals. Secretary of State Jena Griswold allowed all machines passwords to be posted on public state wesite for WEEKS, without any repercussions.
I totally agree with this whole mail in and machine counting stuff. I live in CO and will not use the USPS to send back. We have drop boxes which I utilize. And then I get an email that it was received and when it is counted. I guess I really know it was picked up for sure but after that im clueless. I just have to assume they ran it. I want in person. I do not trust the state of CO leaders. I was watching the 2020 election on TV and I thought I was seeing things when I saw votes flip right before my eyes. I saw VA totally red Trump was up by a lot…then out of the blue Biden was winning. I dont buy it. Also I worked at a post office 2008 and they had a waste mail process where the clerks had to go through waste mail to make sure no 1st class mail was put in there accidentally. It was piled up pretty high and in January after that election i found over 50 ballots that never made it to the poll. I gave them to my supervisor to handle. Obviously their vote never got there. The election was over. To me the whole voting process is chaotic in CO. They tout its the gold standard. Far from it!
Completely remove all counting and voting machines. There was a woman going around through several states teaching people how to go through and count ballots by hand. Very fascinating. Would do well to work this throughout the country and dump those machines.
I live in Oklahoma where they still use hand filled ballots counted by an optical scan machine. Fast and effective. We had results no later than 7:30
Here are the FACTS about voting devices in Oklahoma:
- Voters vote the same way, using the same voting device in all 77 counties.
- Oklahoma uses the custom-built eScan A/T, an optical scan voting device, manufactured by Hart InterCivic.
- The eScan A/T is an auditable and verifiable, paper ballot-based voting system.
- While the eScan A/T uses secure ATI (audio tactile interface) technology to offer audio ballot sessions for disabled voters to cast their ballots privately and independently, all sessions are activated using a paper ballotassigned to the voter.
- Paper ballots are read, counted and deposited into a secure voting bin when the voter inserts a ballot into the machine.
- Both paper ballots and printed vote tallies, generated by the device, are secured until results are certified. (Additionally, paper ballots and printed vote tallies are retained up to 24 months following each election.)
- Oklahoma’s voting devices are never connected to the internet.
- Oklahoma’s voting devices and components are protected by a detailed, security plan which includes multi-factor authentication and anti-tampering verification.
- Both ballots and devices are secured through a strict chain of custody that is maintained through the certification of the election.
- Voting devices in all 77 counties are owned and maintained by the State Election Board, as well as the software used to program the voting devices and tabulate the votes AND the network used to securely communicate with our county election boards.
- Election programming and tabulation is conducted by state and county election personnel. Prior to every election, state and county election board staff test election databases and ballots to ensure efficient and accurate reporting.
- The State Election Board employs its own in-house technicians who conduct routine and annual maintenance of our voting devices, reducing the need for voting devices to be shipped to the manufacturer for repairs covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
Love this. We should look into the same or similar for other states.
Living in Colorado this absolutely true.
No voting machines are safe from hackers. Paper ballots, hand counted while the entire counting process is live-streamed with the ability for the general public to be able to watch the entire process from several camera feeds should they wish to do so.
The election process is reserved to the states. This is a state/local issue, to be taken up with state legislatures
Ban ALL voting machines. Hand counting & paper balllots are the way to be the most secure.
States can run their own elections according to their own standards, separate from the federal elections. However, the federal government can and should set standards on how to securely run a federal election.
I posted some in depth comments on other election integrity threads. in short, ballots should be treated with the respect they deserve – they are more important than paper currency, and the end-to-end security of how ballots are produced, transported, counted etc needs to exceed the standards applied to our paper currency. Anti-counterfeiting measures, armored car transport, accounting style internal controls over the election process, vigorous & routine auditing & fraud investigations…
In Washington state, we are 100% mail in only, there is no other option and we’ve only had democrat governors since.
So i shouldnt be able to vote because i go to college in a different state? Or i should have to pay $60 in gas and 3 days of classes (and tests) just to vote?
See my proposal for blockchain voting machines
I would ask that we ban all electronics in any aspect of our voting- no machines to vote on, no machines to count our votes. All paper ballots, one day voting on election day, no mail-in voting, monitored by volunteers from We the People, counted by volunteers from We the People. For those that are away at school or on assignment elsewhere for work/military- let’s let them vote at our military bases/military stations, monitored by our military - ON election day
Agreed – we need a system that everybody can understand. Simple and transparent. Anything involving computers removes that transparency.
You’re a resident of your new state, and should re-register there.
Only day of voting on special paper ballots with a valid id
Ban not only Dominion, but all their associated entities and any resurrected company under a different name. All these machines need to be destroyed in the USA.
Simple paper ballots with block-chain encrypted watermarks and scanners would suffice.
This is so there is a paper trail.
There needs to be a bill created, any EO would be overturned.
Ban ALL Electronic Voting machines immediately.
Paper ballot & hand counted- on-site same day continuously.
We must return to paper ballots same day. Not a perfect world but much better than the electronic system that can be manipulated EVEN IF the machines are not being directly hacked-- See movie Let My People Go. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkCtDhqZfa4
Realtime connection between voter registration and polling place intake is creating pools of unvoted ballots that can be printed out by incumbent regime and delivered with a midnight election day cancellation weeks after Election Day.
