Ohio's No Good, Very Bad Elections Situation and How to Fix It
Did you know? Elections are sometimes referred to as “The People’s Business.” The Golden Rule of elections is:
Vote in Private, Count in Public.
Unfortunately, following a 2020 poll that pegged the U.S. as third from last place - showing that a majority of citizens don’t trust our elections, we’ve done little to regain Open, Fair, & Auditable elections. U.S. citizens have lost faith in our elections to the tune of around 70% mistrust, broadly generalizing various polls. Things like the recent Bridgeport Connecticut court case in which the Judge ruled that things were so bad (the evidence of alleged fraud was so pervasive) that it’s not possible to tell who won or lost. The Judge called for a re-do. (The evidence in that case is eerily similar to the evidence compiled in other recent elections that was denied entry to other courts.) Add in Maricopa County Arizona, Fulton County Georgia, and other such cases, and we see the “safe & secure” narrative literally crumbling before our eyes.
Unlike other types of fraud, Election Fraud does not require intent. Unintentional malfeasance will suffice for felony charges.
It seems that after over a decade of complaints from both sides of the political aisle, and damning input from many cybersecurity experts, people have become exasperated and don’t know hot to fix what’s clearly broken and inordinately complex and expensive.
Roughly no part of our elections is transparent, clear, or auditable by We The People. In fact, did you know? Ohio’s recent elections have been the subject of zero Independent Audits. This means that the very government We The People seek to replace (if bad) are the only people auditing their own systems, which We The People are forbidden from viewing. Thankfully, according to most current polls, a majority of Americans have lost faith in these hidden, “proprietary” elections systems and their frequent law/rule violations (like frequently breaking chain-of-custody laws and not following up on allegations of fraud, such as ballot-stuffing).
Assume for a moment that fraud is happening in your county - the chances are VERY good, considering the overall amount of fraud detected… it seems most every county in Ohio thinks they’re “okay”, and, overall, Ohioans think, “there’s probably some fraud, but it’s not terrible; we’re not as bad as other states.” And yet, the overall numbers for Ohio tell a different story.
If there is fraud, your Civil Rights are being violated.
On Friday, March 15th I met up with Marly Hornick (she Founded New York Citizens Audit and is an amazing champion. A few minutes into the presentation it dawned on me who she reminds me of… the Sarah Connor character from the Terminator movies, after she got bad-ass! From that moment on, all I could see what her kicking Skynet butt) and Harry Haury* to gain insights into Ohio’s elections. A better quality video is pending (I took some electronics and a camera/mic in the hopes of a good capture; however, being the non-tech person I am, I didn’t realize that I didn’t have enough storage with me to record, so the below excerpt is from a camera phone.
My favorite part? This team claims over 200,000 volunteers and actually offers action-steps to get Ohio elections back to the point where We The People can better trust them.
* Harry Haury has worked with elections for decades and consulted on the design and authoring of Help America Vote Act (“HAVA”). He has also worked extensively with the US military, DHS and the Intelligence Community where he was a senior Information Assurance Architect working on numerous operational programs. As such he is a recognized SME and leader on cyber security attack and defense. He was directly involved with cyber, operational and election systems analysis after the 2020 election, where he was the first to advocate attacking obvious election misconduct. He submitted expert testimony in several election challenges in 2020 including testimony filed at the supreme court.
I recently did some calculations (for four Ohio counties, randomly) and found that the percentage of registered voters in all four counties ranged from 89% to 96%. (Number of registered voters divided by number of eligible voters age 18+.) Doesn't that seem high? Perhaps suggesting that the voter rolls haven't been cleaned up very well? Or do those percentages seem reasonable to you?
