Greetings Patriots,

Eye on Elections spent the summer researching computerized election fraud in Idaho and informing voters about the problems. Electronic manipulation of election data is happening nationwide, and all states, and all counties are at risk. But many Idaho voters are unaware of computerized election fraud here in our own state.

What can be done to wake people up to the problem and to work towards truly secure elections? Eye on Elections suggests a few ways to get started. . . .

The first step towards making necessary changes is to recognize how serious the problems in the current system are. Elections should be managed by people, not computers. But in recent years, almost every task related to elections has been automated and the whole process is now controlled by centralized election management software that no one really understands.

The rest of this newsletter provides insights into the risks of computerized fraud that Eye on Elections researchers have uncovered. We also introduce a Truly Transparent system of ballot processing that could replace the riggable tabulators that currently control our elections.

September Organization Meeting

After a summer of parades and fairs, it's time for another Eye on Elections organizational meeting. We hope everyone who wants to learn more about Eye on Elections or who wants to get more actively involved in Idaho's election integrity movement can attend.

  • Saturday, Sept 13, 10 AM, 1908 E. Seltice Way, Post Falls

  • Empowered Hearts Ministry, (corner of Seltice & Greensferry)

In person meetings are a great way to keep up to date. We'll start with a short overview of how Eye on Elections is working to expose election fraud in Idaho, but will keep the presentation short, so there will be plenty of time for questions, introductions, and informal discussions.

In preparation, we recommend that attendees review recent updates to the Eye on Elections website. Eye on Election's Election Integrity blog and Youtube channel are also good ways stay informed, and in the coming months we hope to have more of a social media presence.

There are many ways to stay up to date and there is much good news to report. After four years of stone-walling by complicit election officials, we can finally anticipate progress. President Trump is now in a position to help states like Idaho solve their long festering, fraudulent election problems, but he can't do it without the help of patriots who are willing to work for fair elections.

Electronic Registration Opens the Door to Fraud

And electronic voter registraton was just the start. Computer-controlled voter rolls are more closely related than you might think to fully digital identification. It turns out that the latest version of voter management software running in Idaho's Secretary of State office allows for the collection of much more information about each voter than is recorded on official registration forms.

Idaho's new voter roll management tools allow the SOS to amass data from dozens of public and private sources—supposedly in order to verify voter eligibility. And HB 339, passed in last year's legislative session under the guise of "Election Integrity", gave him the statutory authority to do so.

So HB 339 and the Idaho's Electronic Registration statute (34-409), are two examples of legislation intended to automate elections that should be repealed. But there are many other innovations that have increased the opportunity for computerized fraud in the name of "convenience".

The following articles lay the groundwork for other legislative fixes Eye on Elections recommends.

In 2016, someone had the brilliant idea of allowing Idaho voters to register "online" using their Driver's Licence number as both "proof of ID" and "proof of residence". In this way, voter registration records could be created without a voter actually having to present themselves before an election official.

And unlike in-person registration, electronic registrations don't have to be individually processed or verified by county election officials. Instead, a computer program running in the Secretary of States office is in charge of verification. How convenient!! Now no humans need to be involved in either the creation or verification of voter records. What could possibly go wrong?

Truly Transparent Tabulation

In addition to pointing out problems with our existing system of computerized elections, Eye on Elections has made developing an efficient and transparent method of processing and counting ballots a top priorty.

The Truly Transparent Tabulation system promoted by Eye on Elections is more than just a method of hand-counting. It involves publicly photocopying all ballots at the polling stations, and immediately posting them to a public site on the internet. After all, ballots are public records, and they should be easy to view.

But it is important to point out that TTT method of photocopying ballots is very different from that used by Ada County’s Ballot verifier. The fatal flaw in Ada’s “Ballot Verifier” is that it uses ballot images generated by potentially corrupt electronic tabulators. But it is the reliability of the Electronic tabulators themselves that is in quesion.

Eye on Election insists that ballots must be photographed with a camera or document scanner that is not hooked up to any computer, either directly or wirelessly. We also insist that the ballots be viewed publicly and photocopied at the polling station, immediately after the polls close, before any ballots have been counted or relocated.

The method by which ballot images are generated from physical ballots is a vital issue that more people need to understand. Establishing a secure protocol of viewing and photocopying ballots at the polling place is critical to insuring honest elections.

If done well, it could make computerized election fraud nearly impossible to get away with and make recounts unnecessary.
