Wouldn’t it be nice to wake up the morning after the next presidential election and say, “You know, I trust the integrity of our 10,000% electoral system. My boyfriend lost right and square; your candidate won, so let’s move on. Let them rule this great nation until the next election. “?
The “Left Resistance” truly believed that Russia had changed the outcome of the 2016 Trump / Hillary election. The Trump campaign and his supporters are challenging the vote totals in at least five states in this unfinished election.
The problem is this: our national electoral system is a hodgepodge of methods for casting and counting ballots that can vary widely from county to county, city to city, state to state. North Carolina has election councils in 100 counties that choose their own separate voting methods and machines. There is no integrated state or national platform that handles every vote in the same way.
Most elections are decided by such wide margins that no one really cares if a small fraction of the vote was cast incorrectly or tabulated incorrectly. Many elections are decided in primaries where one side or the other has divided the districts to their advantage – and you can rest assured that there are at least as many grotesquely Republican districts as there are Democratic seats nationwide.
Nobody reports or investigates irregularities in these elections or sues. It’s those close elections where human error, cyber problems and real fraud make a difference and mean something in the final vote.
A huge difference.
To those who claim, “There is no election fraud anywhere, ever!”, Google “Bladen County, 2018. McCrae Dowless”. This was a huge case of voter fraud that happened just two years ago in eastern North Carolina. He denied an election to Congress in which over 280,000 people in the Ninth Congressional District had their votes invalidated and last year, 2019, a special election had to be held to finally elect Dan Bishop to Congress.
When 280,000 votes can be deprived of voting rights by fraudulent votes in the 21st century, it’s time for a change. A big change.
Your mobile is a GPS goldmine for professional political agents.
Advanced computers, cell phones, and data mining technology are already being used in our elections today, except that voters hardly know. If you have voted in any of the last four elections, the political advisers and pollsters know you very well. They know your name, phone number, home address, political party affiliation, what kind of beer, wine or whiskey you drink and what kind of car you buy, simply by downloading publicly available voter registration data and matching it with the collected data. from aggregators, who get it from Google, Twitter, or any number of online sources.
Your mobile is a GPS goldmine for professional political agents. They know how many times a month you go to church, the opera or play golf, and they target you with bespoke political messages to get you to vote for their candidate rather than the other.
If you are not registered to vote, do not worry. No politician keeps track of your purchases or election behavior because you can’t legally vote.
Today we have such advanced information technology that, when coupled with sophisticated encryption and security systems, online banking, commerce and legal affairs are conducted on the Internet in ways that could not have been imagined a decade ago.
The new technology also shows promise, such as blockchain voting. Blockchain is the technology on which crypto currencies, such as Bitcoin, are built. This technology, which could be enhanced by verification techniques such as fingerprint identification, promises to be the safest way to vote in the near future.
Regardless of the process, in 2020, with the advent of modern technology where credit card companies and banks can digitally track every penny on the planet in an instant, it seems reasonable to ask for the same with our most sacred right: the right. voting.
Elon Musk can land a rocket upon returning to a concrete stamp in the middle of the ocean. Surely someone like him can devise a foolproof electoral system that America can adopt before 2024 and remove all doubts about the future winners and losers in every election.
