These are the changes our state needs in order to have safe elections:
- Revamp the entire voter registration system and process for cleaning and maintaining the voter rolls
- Return to paper poll books where every registered voter is validated annually
- Return to paper ballots which are hand-marked and hand-counted with a live feed so the count is transparent in real time; use the same ballots for mail-in, absentee, early voting, and election day
- Count and record all ballots (including absentee) at the precinct level to ensure chain of custody
- Go to single-day, in person elections with strong ID- photo and signature
- Make it a state or national holiday
- Only allow rare instances for absentee balloting <1%
- Hand count the ballots and votes; precinct sizes under 1,000 voters
- Every record and tally needs to be completely transparent, and accessible to all individuals who wish to audit the outcome
- The people should have free access to the voter rolls to assure that they are accurate and that they are being maintained properly
- Replace ERIC (an out of state organization) with an internal process that properly cleans the voter rolls and impose fine and penalties for noncompliance
- Fund and conduct a compliance study of the 2020 election
We will not rest or waver until this is done.
