Incredible work. The EAC is a joke. Thank you thank you. I’m going to read and reread your articles about this because at first it’s just so hard to comprehend how we’ve just rolled over and accepted all this.

Yes it's time for paper ballots with a lot of bi partisan citizen oversight. This is our country and these are our elections. Let's take them back.

Your research and communication skills, combined with the links to legal documents are incredibly insightful and helpful. Especially your action recommendations. Can we establish a place where our actions and subsequent responses from officials can be shared? I am in awe of your doggedness and ability to give us undeniable info to fight with.

Why give up now people? The darkest hrs are just before dawn.

Why are States now looking at their voting results? Seems there was no competent oversight in many voting offices. Damage is done.

Thank you, Dissent in Bloom for all the excellent reporting! For those who feel helpless or hopeless in tge face if this assualt on democracy, this reply is for you:

Want to save American democracy, but don’t know how?

Here’s a to-do list for every citizen. Copy and paste this letter to your elected representatives at all levels of government. Send it to your local newspaper as a “letter to the editor”. Post it on social media. Discuss these election reforms with your friends. It must become viral quickly due to the rapidly approaching election in November 2026. Time is running out.

Letter:

No doubt you are aware that the 2024 election infrastructure was systematically digitally manipulated to a degree that likely flipped the presidential and possibly downballot outcomes. (1)

Before the election, Trump said something to the effect of, “Just vote this one time, and in 4 years we’ll have it fixed so good, you’ll never have to vote again.” In many other public comments on camera, DJT and a major election donor cryptically confessed to manipulating the 2024 election.

On 18 October 2024, the election donor stated he did not recommend the use of electronic voting equipment because it was too easy to hack. In the final days of the campaign Trump told voters, “We don’t need your votes. We’ve got plenty of votes.” After the election he said, “We wouldn’t have won Pennsylvania without Elon. Elon really knows those voting machines. We won Pennsylvania by a landslide.” Recently, the president has demanded access to voting machines and voter rolls. Meanwhile, Russ Vought is writing the protocols for authoritarian takeover of the voting system. We must act boldly to thwart these malicious attacks on democracy.

I believe that there is a simple solution to save America if we act quickly enough. Let’s get ahead of the con men for once and score a win for democracy.

We are asking legislators at every level of government to immediately introduce legislation that includes four reforms for all future elections at local, state and federal level:

1) All primaries must be general, non-partisan primaries, allowing all voters to choose who the candidates will be.

2) All candidates must be selected by ranked choice voting, with voters indicating first, second and third choice.

3) Mandated mobile phone voting as an option for all voters. The secure infrastructure has already been developed. This will dramatically increase voter participation and security and decrease election costs. (2)

4) Use only paper ballots at in-person voting locations for early and election day voting.

5) Disband and eliminate the Elections Assistance Commission for malfeasance. They were the guardians of the voting systems but failed miserably, leading to disastrous consequences worldwide.

The effect of these reforms taken together is that 1) more centrist candidates will be selected, 2) political polarization will decrease, 3) voter participation will dramatically increase, 4) the cost of running elections will decrease, 5) election day disruptions such as bomb threats, long lines and hostile poll watchers will become ineffective, 6) the infrastructure will be in place to vote safely during pandemics, 7) voters’ views will be better represented by the winning candidates and 8) the opportunity for digital manipulation will be significantly decreased by eliminating the use of electronic voting machines and tabulators, where the mischief has been documented by digital forensics for the last four (!) presidential elections.

The beating heart of democracy—free and fair elections—has been stopped. We have only this moment to administer intracardiac adrenaline in an attempt to restart the heart. Thank you for meeting this national emergency with the urgency and energy required to save democracy.

Sincerely,
