Don't Fall for Digital Magic
Why do some states use Poll Books while others don't
In a recent Conservative Daily interview with David Clements, we discussed the touch screens and the use of poll books to counter the real voter when real paper ballots are involved. Watch the clip here:
David mentioned that in Louisiana they do not require poll books. That is mostly because the entire state uses the Venezuela-style touchscreen voting architecture. When touch voting is used there is no “human marking” that is captured. You touch the screen and your vote is recorded. Because it is just you and the machine, the machine can do anything with your vote including adding any number of additional votes needed to cancel your vote out.
When auditing a touch voting system, there may be a digital printout or report that shows who voted, but what real proof do you have that person actually walked into that booth and cast that vote? NONE! That is why there really is no need for poll books. Voters can generated on the fly as needed and all the forensics needed for an audit are produced by the same machine recording your vote. Very convenient if you intend to steal elections.
In Florida on the other hand, we require a paper ballot. AND BE VERY CAREFUL when you define a “paper ballot.” In the 2022 election, Lee County Florida used ES&S's new “ADA Compliant” touchscreen voting machine. A good patriot was quick enough to take some pictures of the device shown here:
These types of machines were involved with all kinds of suspicious activity ranging from not allowing you to pick your choice to changing your choice while or after you made it.
But what is worse, is the impossible audit trail you face when a machine is generating bar code type receipts that somehow they are passing off as “paper ballots.” See below for example:
What is there to stop this device from doing any of the following?
Change your vote as a record while it shows you on the screen and paper who you voted for. Can you read the bar code? How would a hand re-count work without the machines?
The machine is used to generate more votes for people who never showed up at the polls. Would you be able to tell who really showed up unless you canvassed everyone who voted in the election?
The officials will argue that this is impossible, but the burden of proof falls on We The People. We would have to canvass tens of thousands of people while the officials hide behind a completely fabricated digital report.
The real intent behind a paper ballot is a human has to make a mark on it during a transparent election. Currently, we use little ovals that need to be filled in by pen, but much like a signature, each one of these filled-in ovals should be distinct and examinable on the spot if the ballot was observed by another human.
A machine can be programmed to print on paper, but you can spot this happening even if you have to put the mark under a microscope. Much like snowflakes, no human will fill in an oval exactly the same way so if you see the EXACT same pattern being used to fill in the oval, chances are it was filled in with a machine printer.
Even with pen-filled ballots, there is a chance someone could “spoil” your ballot by adding additional votes, but the point here is to stop systematic fraud that could be programmed and run undetectable in the machine in ANY precinct.
As well, we need the burden of proof to fall on the official in charge of running the election. Everything involved with the elections should be transparent and observable even with close scrutiny such as putting ballots under a microscope if needed. We should not have to chase the thousands involved with voting in a canvassing effort to ask them if they truly voted.
So you can see what a challenge touch machines can add and why they don’t need poll books because fraud can be done in line during voting. But why do places like Florida need INTERNET CONNECTED poll books?
Florida’s original system of hand-marked paper ballots with paper poll books was pretty secure. But how could you cheat with such a system? Easy, get real-time results which include who has voted AND WHO HAS NOT!
If you know who has voted, you could build a predictive model to guess the totals. Or if they access the machine modems, they could just get the results live. Either way, the most important piece of information is to determine who has not voted yet. The surface intent of the electronic internet-connected poll books was to stop people from double voting.
You most likely have experienced the “Digital Magic” where you were talking about (some say just thinking about) the need to get some pet food. And then like magic, your devices start showing you ads for pet food. This digital magic is just normal advertising for national brands.
If they can do this for something as simple as dog food, do you think they can figure out how you are going to vote??? OF COURSE THEY CAN!
So with the poll books, they can see who has voted or even has an intention of voting because they can see their political involvement. And just like they can predict how many bags of dog food to deliver to your local store, they can guess how many votes their candidate will need to win their race.
All the poll books do is add a little more complexity to the steal because they have to make sure they are stealing votes from people who don’t plan on voting.
When we uncovered Red Belly Rd, the most shocking part of the discovery was made while canvassing the real voters just after the election. When asked, no one knew of the change, but most importantly, no one on that street remembered requesting a mail-in ballot.
It may sound complicated to do, but when you have billions to trillions of dollars on the line in controlling politics, there is definitely a financial and technical capacity to build an automatic mechanism that ensures certain candidates win.
What is so bad about this level of steal is how hard it is to detect. Physical mail ballots would arrive at local Supervisor of Elections Offices and their first reaction would probably be, “Wow! Mail-in Voting is getting more popular.” The problem is these votes are not coming from people who are really voting. It would be a combination of phantoms and identity theft that would check out from the position of the officials. They made a request for a mail-in ballot and are voting by mail.
It may sound far-fetched to you unless you know about the type of systems that make sure Walmart maintains its inventory in multiple stores. These computer systems make sure orders are placed and fulfilled with hardly any human interaction anymore.
They would not have to invent anything new. Just repurpose tried and true methods of predicting purchasing behavior and managing inventories to deliver the needed ballots to the appropriate location.
So please don’t fall for their Digital Magic.
