a short list of ideas.
First of all. Whenever someone shows up several days after the initial vote count with uncounted ballots they need to be arrested on the spot, go to jail and don't count the votes. Let the courts decide guilt or innocent. Brutal yes but effective.
All ballot boxes nest to be tracked by signature and contain a GPS tracking device. Such tracking should be made available to the public via the Internet.
If you work for a Union, a political party, pac, etc...you cannot maintain, observed or be in a polling area unless you are voting. Poll worker must not have an agenda. During the voting process the Poll worker should be monitored with cameras that are accessible over the Internet by everyone.
Final Tallies in a close races should not be recounted until all of the votes are in. Military Vote should count. If you cannot get the military votes before the deadline and it someones fault they are late. They need to be fired and investigated.
All recounts are to be done in an open public forum. Any valid proof of shenanigans, the recount should cease immediately until the situation is resolved, publicly. Any closed door meetings or agreement nullifies the results. A runoff election must occur within two week at the expense of the offender(s), taxpayers shouldn't have to pay for screwups.
All voters must produce a valid ID before voting. No provisional BS. If you aren't registered or don't have an ID you don't vote.
Solid list darkwing - thanks. Reducing vote fraud, election lawbreaking needs to be a priority of the Tea Party reform efforts.
Smaller, accountable government. Period.
