Securing elections involves multiple layers of protection, from ensuring voter registration integrity to safeguarding the vote-counting process. Here are some steps Georgia can take to enhance election security:

1. **Enhancing Voter Registration Systems**:
   – **Regular Audits and Updates**: Conduct regular audits of voter rolls to remove deceased individuals and those who have moved out of state. Implement robust procedures for updating voter information.
   – **Cybersecurity Measures**: Employ advanced cybersecurity measures to protect voter registration databases from hacking attempts.

2. **Voting Equipment and Technology**:
   – **Paper Ballots**: Utilize paper ballots that provide a physical record of votes. This ensures that votes can be audited and recounted if necessary.
   – **Routine Testing**: Perform regular testing and certification of all voting machines and electronic systems to ensure they are functioning correctly and are free from tampering.
   – **Cybersecurity Protocols**: Implement strong cybersecurity protocols to protect voting machines from cyber attacks, including regular software updates and security patches.

3. **Poll Worker Training and Security**:
   – **Comprehensive Training**: Provide comprehensive training for poll workers on how to handle and report any suspicious activities or irregularities.
   – **Background Checks**: Conduct thorough background checks on all election officials and volunteers to ensure integrity and trustworthiness.

4. **Election Day Procedures**:
   – **Chain of Custody**: Maintain strict chain of custody procedures for ballots and voting equipment to prevent tampering and loss.
   – **Surveillance**: Use surveillance cameras in polling places and ballot storage areas to deter and detect any potential fraud or tampering.

5. **Post-Election Audits**:
   – **Risk-Limiting Audits**: Conduct risk-limiting audits after each election to compare a sample of paper ballots with the electronic results. This helps ensure the accuracy of the final count.
   – **Transparency**: Make audit procedures transparent and involve bipartisan observers to enhance public trust in the process.

6. **Public Information and Transparency**:
   – **Voter Education**: Provide clear and accurate information to the public about voting procedures, voter rights, and how to report suspicious activities.
   – **Transparency**: Ensure transparency in all aspects of the election process, including vote counting and reporting results.

7. **Collaboration with Federal Agencies**:
   – **DHS and CISA Collaboration**: Work with federal agencies like the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) to receive threat assessments, share information, and adopt best practices.

By implementing these measures, Georgia can enhance the security and integrity of its elections, ensuring that every vote is accurately counted and that the public maintains confidence in the electoral processes.

MORE TO COME

Doesnt read to me like it was a big win for True The Vote. Both sides had, as people go, good and bad parts and points.

Fallible voting machines used to be the cry of Democrats in the Georgia House. Since 2020 the language changed to “No proof of election fraud.” Why must there be proof of election fraud when the whole point of it would be not to be held accountable? The possibility of election tampering or office holders not having been duly elected and in agreement with their oath of office and the Georgia Constitution should be quite enough to place the most protections on our elections. 

This is the first House vote on 2019 HB 316.

Stay Tuned. I am hoping to post the House Journal and links to House debates.

Raffensperger is supposed to be an engineer but it is probably a good idea to put warning labels on buildings and bridges he built and avoid those.

In this ruling you can see that in depth examination of our Georgia voting system has occurred. I have only given it a cursory reading at this time as the order was only issued November 10, but am particularly fond of page 96 in which the Fulton County defendants turn on the state defendants and blame them for forcing use of the Dominion system. The judge acknowledges that while there is law that allegedly requires use of a system statewide, Fulton County had the option of using paper ballots citing a violation of rights is an emergency triggering the option of emergency paper ballots. Nevertheless the judge, I believe in error, excused Fulton County from responsibility for violating rights. By now we are all familiar with Marbury v. Madison, “that a law repugnant to the constitution is void, and that courts, as well as other departments, are bound by that instrument.” It would then seem that the state would be prohibited from a law that contradicts the Constitution which is expounded in the order, and any third party actors woud be protected from being required to comply with law repugnant to the Constitution.

I filed a Motion to Intervene in Curling this past week piggybacking on Judge Totenberg’s previous order stating that Dominion was illegal but the lone reason for not granting an injunction against its use in 2020 was the nearness of the election. Read/download my motion here.

In this affidavit submitted by True The Vote in the indictment case against President Trump, Raffensperger misrepresented the number of votes in question. More importantly he certified an election that should not have been certified. Raffensperger farms out most of his election duties to outside vendors. He says according to this affidavit that the GOP should have been challenging the voter rolls all along. No, Mr. Raffensperger, voter rolls are your job. If you do not want to perform the duties of Secretary of State you should resign. Even now there is effort in Cherokee County to challenge some voter registrations, but the challenges are rejected by the local board of elections. In the Oct. 3 State Election Board meeting a felon charged with voting twice was having to defend that they had not registered to vote and had not voted twice. This is after Secretary Kemp made a lawsuit settlement in which it was agreed Kemp woud abide by the National Voting Rights Act.

All means of registering voters through all laws renders the application to register to vote as just that – an application. Whether applying at DDS, various agencies or organization registration drives, applications are supposed to be checked before they become an actual registration and permit voting. Another part of Mr. Raffensperger’s duties not performed. It does little good to register one to vote that is not legally entitled to vote that dilutes the vote of one legally entitled to vote.

As stated in Duncan v Poythress, (No. 81-7363 United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit. Unit B Duncan v. Poythress 657 F.2d 691 (5th Cir. 1981) Decided Nov 13, 1981)”Undeniably the Constitution of the United States protects the right of all qualified citizens to vote, in state as well as in federal elections.” Reynolds v. Sims, 377 U.S. 533, 554, 84 S.Ct. 1362, 1377-78, 12 L.Ed.2d 506 (1964). Qualified citizens not only have a constitutionally protected right to vote, Ex parte Yarbrough, 110 U.S. 651, 45 S.Ct. 152, 28 L.Ed. 274 (1884), but also the right to have their votes counted, United States v. Mosley, 238 U.S. 383, 35 S.Ct. 904, 59 L.Ed. 1355 (1915), a right which can neither be denied outright, Lane v. Wilson, 307 U.S. 268, 59 S.Ct. 872, 83 L.Ed. 1281 (1939), nor destroyed by alteration of ballots, United States v. Classic, 313 U.S. 299, 61 S.Ct. 1031, 85 L.Ed. 1368 (1941), nor diluted by ballot box stuffing, United States v. Saylor, 322 U.S. 385, 64 S.Ct. 1101, 88 L.Ed. 1341 (1944).

We need someone who cares about Georgians and fair elections to make Raffensperger do his job or show him to the door. When one plays cards with a cheater one can not know when they will be cheated. Every office holder or those with political aspirations ought to consider themslves the eventual victim of an untruthful, untrustworthy secretary of state. We can know that for his next trick he will select himself as governor if not stopped.

Based on the expert opinion and statement below, duplicate slates of electors in a presidential election is normal. The duplicate slate legitimacy, however, is contingent upon a judicial election contest being filed and heard by a tribunal. The case not being heard by a court as was the case in 2020 jumped the tracks of law and history. Dismissing cases is not a hearing of the facts that would allow election decorum to proceed.

Its an old case, but Georgia was previously in the crosshairs of an election question. Whether or not an election was proper is not matter of opinion. It is not a matter of political party. It is a matter of an appropriate investigation and the proper body taking action based on said investigation.

In the beginning of this republic, the founders established a union of loosely connected states. Problems arose from that union when the rubber met the road and realizing the hard won freedom was in jeopardy, the founders owned their mistake in establishment and set out to form a workable constitutional republic. Not only do we have the Constitution and Bill of Rights as the product of their work, we have the constitutional debates detailing how they arrived at their conclusions.

In the debates the founders acknowledged that humans are not always vessels of proper conduct and that had to be addressed in whatever was established. In the current, while there is ample information that the 2020 presidential election was not conducted properly, said information has not received fair consideration in totality and has been rejected on opinion. Elections are the foundation of our country. Everything this country is or shall be flows from properly conducted elections.

Read to see how improper Georgia election was properly handled without questioners being indicted or shamed by the guilty.
