Crowdsource the Counting!

“Who counts the vote” is the only thing that matters

“I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this—who will count the votes, and how.” Joseph Stalin

Are voters being asked to TRUST PEOPLE WE DON’T KNOW to count the vote?

Or are we being asked to MISTRUST HIGH TECHNOLOGY?

1. Current electronic voting systems (high technology)

2. Previous paper voting systems (low technology)

High technology is not the problem.

Low technology is not the answer.

“Who counts the vote” is the only thing that matters.

There is only one answer: WE THE PEOPLE need to count the vote!

Until our election process is fixed, talking about anything else (from interesting truths to nefarious psyops) is a waste of our time and energy.

Here are specs for a system I’m calling “Five (5) Minute Voting“ designed to make it IMPOSSIBLE to cheat without being detected…

PRE-ELECTION

goal:

• establish the total number of possible votes

1. Precinct prepares voter rolls

2. Precinct publicly publishes voter rolls BEFORE election

   1. downloadable spreadsheet

   2. list of street addresses where registered voters resides

   3. number of voters registered to each street address

      1. (and as much additional information as is legally allowed)

ELECTION DAY

goals:

• provision voters with the tool they will need to verify accuracy

• reduce time each voters spends at the polling place to under 5 mins

3. Prior to visiting the poll, Voter prepares vote

   1. via precinct-hosted website empowering users to anonymously prepare Electronic Staging Ballots (ESB) mapped to QR codes

   2. selections are stored in an anonymous database record

   3. database record is referenced using data embedded within the QR code 

4. Voter enters poll

5. Voter presents Id to poll worker - 1 minute

6. Voter presents QR code to poll worker - 10 seconds

   1. poll worker quickly scans the QR code

   2. for a technology-streamlined voting experience

   3. similar to entering a baseball game or concert or other ticketed event

      1. QR code printed out on paper

      2. QR code on phone screen

7. Poll worker retrieves a print-out of an Official Multi-Ballot (OMB) - 10 seconds

   1. security paper (watermarked, etc.)

   2. FOUR (4) SEPARATE COLUMNS, each containing a complete copy of the following information:

      1. Voter’s selections

      2. UUID (universally unique identifier) code

      3. Timestamp

      4. Precinct data

8. Voter reviews the printed ballot for accuracy of selections and columns - 1 minute

9. Voter gives the approved OMB to poll worker who uses a manually operated machine designed to make three “clean, yet non-uniform” cuts along the edges of the columns resulting in the creation of four (4) nearly-identical "itemized receipts" that fit together like jigsaw puzzle pieces. - 10 seconds

   1. Voter’s receipt shares edges with all of the others

10. Itemized receipts are distributed (each copy bears a complete detail of all selections made by the voter):

    1. Precinct receipt goes in the official ballot box.

    2. Republican receipt goes in the Republicans’ box.

    3. Democrats’ receipt goes in the Democrat’s box.

    4. Voter leaves poll with receipt in hand.

POST ELECTION

goals:

• empower the community to count the votes

• empower each voter to verify accuracy of their own vote

• provision voters with a safe process by which to report inaccuracies

• protect the process from shenanigans

11. Precinct publicly publishes downloadable spreadsheet of all the votes

12. Voters with receipts that do not match their record on the published spreadsheet attend public meetings held the next few days designed to process disputed votes.

    1. Voter must first present Identification

    2. Voter must then present the Voter’s receipt (which never leaves the voter)

       1. Clerk verifies the security features of the paper

       2. Clerk verifies the selections in the published spreadsheet are out of alignment with the selections printed on the Voter’s itemized receipt

    3. Using the timestamp, Clerk coordinates with Republican, Democrat and Precinct representatives to fetch the corresponding copies of the ballot

       1. Clerk verifies the security features of the paper

       2. Clerk verifies random cuts of the Republican, Democrat and Precinct copies match up with the Voter’s receipt

    4. If an error is found to have been made

       1. the error is corrected

       2. the community is notified that an error has been found and encouraged to check their receipts against the published spreadsheet

       3. the dispute period “starts over” (is extended)

DESIGN GOALS

• Effective

• Efficient

• Robust

BENEFITS

• Trustworthy “Counting of the Votes”

• Saves Voters’ Time

• Maintains Voters’ Privacy

• Ends “get away scot-free with bloody murder” cheating

CONCLUSION

Implementing this proposal makes the election process a fair fight. That’s “Step One”.

“Step Two” is about voting good people into office. Identifying (a) “the baddies” from (b) “the baddies who look like goodies” from (c) actual good guys will be the most difficult part of this war for freedom.
