This was prepared for the Guardians for Liberty in 2012. The basic arguments, the basic laws, the basic problems – have not changed in 30+ years.
Open Letter to All Concerned Citizens of the United States of America:
We, the undersigned individuals and organizations, endorse
the necessity of returning to computer-free, machine free elections
where paper ballots are clearly marked by the voter with indelible pen and counted in each neighborhood polling place (precinct)
counted by randomly selected citizens (scrutineers) from that precinct; scrutineers to be selected two week in advance by a predetermined process approved by the Board of Elections. (2 scrutineers for – approximately — each 50 ballots cast in that precinct at the last presidential election; another 50% of back up scrutineers would also be selected in case of sicknesses, etc. The Scrutineers would each be paid $100 for the evening’s work. (This would be about $800 million a year for primary election and general election, a mere pittance of a fraction of foreign aid we give away.)
with the ballots and ballot box never having left the public sight
counted immediately upon the close of the voting day
with any members of the public allowed to watch at close range provided that they do not interfere with the ballot counting being conducted by the scrutineers
with the results from each team signed by the scrutineers of that team as true and correct
and with the total results signed by the neighborhood precinct judges at each polling place, relying on the signatures of each of the scrutineers; the county Board of Election leaders would then certify the election results based on the signatures of the scrutineers at each polling place, resulting in a verifiable election as far as humanly possible;
with the results posted in clear public view on a wall at each neighborhood precinct before the ballots leave the polling place, and to be kept in public view there until at least 6 PM of the next Friday following the election day; and with the results remaining in public view for at least three days, or until at least 11 PM on the Friday following the election day, for inspection by the public
Despite their effectiveness in other areas, computers and machines must be eliminated from elections for, among others, the following reasons:
Computer counts violate at least two standing US Supreme Court decisions, namely, US v Mosely, 1915, and Reynolds v Sims, 1964 . . .
In both cases, the US Supreme Court said that our right to vote consists of two parts: a) the right to cast a ballot; b) the right to KNOW that our vote has been counted accurately. When the “count” is conducted in secret (within a computer) powered by secretly programmed software (with source code usually programmed by persons unknown to even the local leadership) – then the second part of our right to vote is being violated and nullified.
