Safeguards needed for elections

To the editor:

I worked at various voter polling locations during the last several elections. All in all, voters and co-workers were cooperative and above board. This past election revealed irregularities witnessed by scores of people who provided sworn affidavits and videotapes that are mind-numbing. If Democrats are above board and are confident there was no cheating, why don’t they approve of an accounting of votes in the cities of Philadelphia, Atlanta, Madison, Detroit and others? These few cites determined America’s course for the next few years.

Were the Georgia Senate races fair?

There are a number of laws on the books governing elections. Unfortunately, many are not enforced and changed arbitrarily by unlawful means, by judges, secretaries of state and governors dictating their own made-up rules and agenda. The Constitution is clear that only state legislatures can change a state’s requirements. This past presidential process was a lesson in what illegal activity does.

Instead of a state deciding the requirements for a presidential election, why not have a standardized national policy for every state to follow, thereby eliminating the possibility of fraud and offering an easy means to verify votes and signatures of voters?

States can keep their own means of voting for all other offices. Issuing voter-numbered registration photo cards or registration numbers on driver’s licenses that must be presented at polling locations and that individuals must use on mail-in ballots is a must, as is a purging of county voter rolls.

I worked for board of health agencies in several states. A registered death in a county should automatically remove that person from the voter rolls. If a person was not previously living in the county, registered deaths are supposed to be communicated to the person’s last known address — more times than not, this process isn’t followed. Why not? Counties and states claim to have no labor or time to notify other counties or states about a person’s death. That’s why hundreds of thousand dead names were illegally used in this past election. With all the technology we have, why can’t we set up a secure system to use when an individual dies so that his or her voter registration number is scanned nationally and the proper voter rolls automatically purged.

I believe this new president will open a can of worms that will allow illegal aliens and the dead to participate in our most sacred duty as citizens — the right and privilege to vote.

If Democrat supporters (big-tech, corrupt media and politicians) already won the election, why would they ban people from social media, silence voices of the people and insist on impeachment with only a few days left? Is this what a winning team does? It’s what criminals do when they are in panic mode. Why are the Democrats still terrified of Trump?

Quoting Newt Gingrich: ” … We are headed toward a serious, bitter struggle in America. This extraordinary, coordinated four-year power grab threatens the fabric of our country and the freedom of every American.”
