That is a good point, you'd also need to look at trend lines as well. As you getting that 90% would seem unusual.Trader wrote:stan wrote:The voter fraud issue is actually simple to work out. So we have a total number of votes received in a state, this will include the number of early votes, election day votes and mail in votes.
We also know the number of registrations firstly that exist prior to the election and also we will know the on the day registrations as well.
These numbers should all cross check and it should be easy to determine. Each polling booth will know how many votes They have been through. They know the registrations. The forms will physically be there.
Mail in ballots are easy to balance as well. In fact each district return office will have the details of these. All the envelopes will exist and are required to be kept.
So basically if these numbers line up e.g. Registered voters, on the day voters with election day votes and early votes. Then there shouldn't be an issue.
Once this is out of whack and the voter turn out exceeds the registered + on the day + early but not taking into account mail in as they need to be account for separately, then you have an issue with booths.
The mails ins are pretty easy as well to work out. Issued is known, registered is known etc etc.
What I am saying, if there has been any voter fraud it should come out fairly easily.
My understanding is they don't normally get anywhere near 100% of registered voters actually voting. For instance I think I saw they have nearly 250m registered, yet recorded slightly under 150m votes this time round.
So to have an electorate that all of a sudden has a 90% return would be unusual, and suggest their could be something fishy going on, but under your system would get the all clear.
Also, I'm not sure but I assume there is also the possibility you could just register a heap of fake voters, and once they are on the roll, complete the ballot yourself for your preferred candidate.
That may also be the problem is it's all very hit and miss who votes in the U.S.
I guess what I'm saying is that it's far too hard to rig the election day ballot, you need to know the % that will vote in that district and then adjust to keep the numbers in the normal range. Massive risk if you use trend lines because you might get a district jumping from 48% to 90% due to circumstances.
Mail votes is the way to go if tou are going to rig the election.
Even here in Australia, you don't actually have to show id to vote, I mean you just provided your details verbally to attendant for the electron roll.
