A modest idea to reduce the amount of vote fraud due to voting-machine malware, for 2020
Almost every precinct in the U.S. uses some type of voting machine. Cuz, we're modern, citizen.
In the 2016 election hundreds of voters reported a very interesting phenomenon: After they selected their choices on their voting machines, when they pushed the "OK, I'm done" button, they said the machine switched their vote for president to the Democrat candidate.
Most said they didn't have time to check whether their votes for "down-ballot" candidates were also switched to the Democrat before the machine displayed the "thank you for voting" screen.
So...it's virtually certain that we'll see that again in 2020--and probably in lots more cities. How do we prevent it?
You can't--at least not before the 2020 election. Let me explain: Obviously, voting machines are programmed and "maintained" by humans--in some cases by county election workers. In Democrat-ruled counties, if county election workers are screwing around with the programs--or something as simple as pre-loading a few-hundred all-Democrat votes on the totalizers--they'll fight like mad to not have this ability taken away from them, and to prevent meaningful oversight by a bipartisan group of observers.
In other states the programming and maintenance of the machines is done by contractors--but the result is the same: They'll fight like hell to keep the contract, and to bar any oversight.
Think the courts will help you prevent vote fraud by deliberate screwing around with the machines? Uh...how well have the courts worked in the past to halt fraud?
Yeah, that's what I thought. Moreover, in any lawsuit against state election workers or a Dem-loving contractor, a filing in federal court would quickly be bounced back to the state courts. And in Dem-ruled states the chances of a state judge ruling for conservative plaintiffs are slim to none.
That's not to say filing suit isn't a good move, just that there's very little chance of the problem being solved before November of next year.
So here's an idea: When you go to vote, use your cell phone to video the screen both when you select your candidates and when you "pull the trigger" to finalize your vote. Still photos of the screen would work too, since they automatically store what time the pic was taken. But video is better.
If you like this idea, send it to your friends and family (unless you've got siblings who are liberal moonbats).
So here's
