California is trying to do this...which would in fact be a huge benefit to the GOP.

But I had some other thoughts about better electoral reform, aimed directly at democrat vote rigging:

1. Simultaneous precinct reporting—have a set time where all precincts report together after all the votes are counted—this would eliminate the practice of dem precincts monitoring returns and ‘finding’ enough votes to sway an election.

2. Blind precinct reporting—until the vote counting is complete and filed with the Secretary of State, precincts cannot identify themselves.

3. Precinct communication blackout—anywhere votes are counted, there should be a complete communication blackout—no cell phones, no texting, no e-mail, no external communications whatsoever, except directly with Secretary of State or registrar of voters as necessary to solve any issues or report count results. EVERY communication in and out of the precinct should be logged and recorded for audit purposes.

Had some other ideas, but too early in the morning to get them down in writing.

Thoughts?

I don't think this is at all like the California plan. They want to give all the EVs to whoever wins the popular vote statewide. This plan gives out the EVs on a district-by-district basis.

It seems to be helpful for our side, but I note that almost every time someone "fiddles" with the election process to cure a perceived problem, it almost turns around and bites 'em in the butt during the next election.

I think it would more likely maximize that activity in all districts where it is possible.
