Ballot imprinters print a unique ID number on each ballot which can be used to later identify ballots for audits. This is common for risk limiting audits.

There has been concern that this can also be used to tie the ballot back to the voter in some cases.

It's not used in all elections offices. Some election systems come with an imprinter, like the DS300, and other imprinters can be added to the scanner later.

Now you know what a ballot imprinter is and what it's used for. Just another tidbit for your tool box. 🇺🇸

Attention mail in ballot states:

My research team and I have been discussing ways to educate the public on important issues that could help cut down on fraud opportunities. This started because during a recent election I spotted a ballot in a community recycle bin. When I went back to investigate further, the ballot was gone.

We wanted to think of a way to educate people so they wouldn't do the same thing and have someone vote their ballot. We came up with an idea of posting friendly signs near groups of mailboxes, like apartment complexes.

Here is an example. It contains basic information, it is non-partisan, and directs voters to an official source for questions regarding their own registration.

We are asking people to print and post something like this in their area anywhere there are lots of mailboxes. Other states that use mail in ballots could come up with a similar sign that is relevant to their state.

He's not a criminal. He's justice challenged.

Suggested Reading:

A research paper from Berkley in Feb. 2020 called " Ballot-Marking Devices (BMDs) Cannot Assure the Will of the Voters"

Good arguments for paper ballots, for any states still not using them, and also lays out some concerns we may have previously overlooked.

For example, one part that talks about how the machines lack "contestability" because if a voter witnesses a machine error, they have no proof to show anyone that it happened. Makes perfect sense now. They built the machines so that even if voters notice an issue, they can't prove it to anyone and therefore goes nowhere.

Some other good points too, but ignore what it says about risk limiting audits. I disagree with this section. Mainly because I disagree with RLA because in WA, the ballots being audited may not even contain the race being audited, and sample sizes are tiny.

Friendly reminder!

It’s been said over and over again that the GOP is going the way of the Whigs.

But I will all but guarantee you the party will collapse if they made a sincere effort to not nominate Trump at the convention.

Tens of millions will never again support the party. Hell, they’ve nominated him twice and I’m probably done with them after 2024.

Relish the opportunity to be an outsider—Embrace that label…because it's the outsiders who change the world…

2024 belongs to We the People!

There are so many possible ways to sabotage an election. Familiarize yourself with some of the possibilities.

Try to prepare for all options. Prevent the ones you can and plan your response to the ones you can't prevent.

Education is a big factor here. How are you getting the message across to the voters? How are you going to get your information out quickly? Do you have a central reporting method?

There has been chatter that people are trying to remove Trump from the ballot here in Washington after his wrongful conviction.

Point 1:
Let me share with you the story of Terra Simmons. She was convicted of a drug related felony in 2011 and did like 20 months in prison. She was elected to our state legislature in 2020, representing the 23rd district. Can you guess which party? Yes, Democrat.

Point 2:
Washington state law says that a felon's voting rights are restored automatically unless the person is serving a "sentence of total confinement" and last I checked, Trump was not sitting in a prison cell. (yet, and praying never) RCW 29A.08.520

It's just click-bait. Don't buy into it. Trump 2024! 🇺🇸

A reminder for those who don't know, you can do your own analysis of every cast vote record I have been able to load up using my analysis tool at https://votedatabase.com.

https://open.substack.com/pub/thedakotascout/p/absentee-ballots-challenged-in-minnehaha?r=s9w6e&utm_medium=ios. Don’t pay to read their trash but I just presented two precincts which are home to the mail forwarding fraud with voter challenges and successfully lobbied a precinct board to accept the absentee ballot challenge and one precinct agreed to reject dozens of unidentified voters ballots whose original voter registrations were perjured.
This is a HUGE WIN at the lowest jurisdiction available- the precinct!
I was alone as a citizen and had to present my case before the board against the States Attorney and Deputy States Attorney, and I won! 🙌

Why is there a strip club and a McDonald’s on Nevada voter rolls?

AND THE WINS KEEP COMING!!! A resolution opposing voter manipulation schemes brought by grassroots patriots at the SDGOP convention passed on the floor this afternoon - despite being rejected in committee twice by the RINOS! Nothing can stop what's coming! South Dakota is on FIRE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🇺🇸🦅🗽

It is amazing to see the people we have been working shoulder to shoulder with over the last few years really step up to the plate!
