Election Fraud

Electronic Tabulators take physical ballots as input and produce "election results". The problem is, it's impossible to know exactly what the tabulator software is doing, and there is evidence that electronic tabulators can be programmed to manipulate elections.

Tabulator fraud is probably the most serious and insidious form of election fraud, since it is almost undetectable, and it cannot be rooted out either by "Logic and Accuracy" tests, recounts, or certification.

Voter Registration Fraud

More Information:

• Digital Identities and Phantom Voters shows how online registration leads to digital identification and biometric verification.

• Data Collection Disguised as Election Integrity shows how it is impossible to remove phantoms from voter rolls.

Corrupt voter rolls enable election fraud because they include computer-generated "phantom" voters that can be used to generate absentee ballot requests or machine-manipulated votes.

We know this is a problem, since experts such as Dr. Douglas Frank have demonstrated that voter rolls in every county have been manipulated by sophisticated computer algorithms.

Electronic Registration Opens the Door to Fraud, and prohibiting Electronic Voter Registration is one of the easiest things Idaho could do to secure its voter rolls, and prevent computerized fraud.

Absentee and mail-in voting are less secure than in-person voting: Firstly, because mail-in ballots have no secure chain of custody. Secondly, because Idaho allows any registered voter to request an absentee ballot online.

And this is evidently a serious problem because an analysis of Kootenai County's voter history shows that at least seven percent of registered voters have only ever voted by absentee ballot, and never in person.

Although numerous elections appear to have been skewed through absentee ballot fraud, Idaho legislative leaders have failed to restrict absentee voting.

Absentee Ballot Fraud

We have seen that Idaho has a problem with phantom voters. But how could these fraudulent voters produce fraudulent votes?

Well, if One Election Technology company controlled almost all the records of a state's election, including voter information and voter history, and also electronic pollbooks, election night reporting, absentee ballot managment, print-on-demand ballot generation, asset inventory records, and general election management, then that company would be in a good position to falsify election records.

Unfortunately, a centralized, all-encompassing "Election Management" system is already in place, not only in Idaho, but in all state elections offices. It is an enormous threat to secure elections, and recent legislation appears to be expanding its powers and moving Idaho towards Digital Identification.
