Vote Safe and a Little More in 2024

Part 9 – Post Election Details

 

 

Tomorrow is the last day of voting - Election Day!

 

Here are some ways you can make a difference tomorrow, and in the weeks to follow as ballots are counted:

 

  1. Make sure you have

 

  1. Review the polling location procedures: 

 

 

  1. Brush up on the rules for the 2024 Presidential Primary.

 

  1. When and after you vote, plan to stick around a while as an official Citizen Observer. Presidential Primaries are confusing, even for poll workers.

 

A well-informed Observer may be able to ask just the right,

well-formed question to clarify things for everyone.

 

  1. Take time to visit some other polling locations in your area. You can be very valuable.

 

  1. Consider adopting one polling location at closing time.

 

  • Observe the closing procedures.
  • Follow the ballots to the Collection Center.
  • Watch for secure handoff and chain of custody.
  • Stay to watch other deliveries.

 

  1. Adopt a drop box in your area.

 

  • Be there before 8:00 p.m.
  • Document how and when the box is locked. No ballots should be allowed to enter the box after that time.
  • For more on drop box observation information, see Vote Safe Part 3.

 

  1. If you are a late-nighter, there is much to observe at the counting center as the ballots of the day arrive and the in-person votes are counted.

 

  1. Take a deep breath. Then commit to doing what you can to protect vote by mail and provisional ballots as they are processed.

 

From March 6 through April 5,

you are needed at the ballot processing centers.

  1. Review the two articles on ballot processing:

 

 

  1. Go as often as you can for the next 30 days to protect with your presence each and every ballot being processed.

 

  1. Stay in touch with EIPCa via Hotline as needed.

 

  1. Fill out and send in a Citizen Incident Statement for each issue you encounter.

 

Citizens involved in every aspect of the election process produce a healthy Republic.

 

Without citizen oversight, Republics are soon lost.

 

Freedom is only one generation away from extinction.

 

Let us not be that generation.

Vote Safe and a Little More in 2024

Part 8 - Election Day is Just the Beginning

 

 

Election Day is one week from today.

 

At that point, it’s all over, right?

 

WRONG!

 

The majority of both in-person and vote by mail ballots

actually come in on Election Day.

 

  • The in-person votes will be counted that night.

 

  • All of the envelope ballots (vote by mail, provisional and conditional) will be dealt with starting the day after Election Day.

 

  • Furthermore, mail-in ballots will continue to come in and be legally accepted for seven (7) additional days.

 

Processing of mail-in ballots and provisional ballots

continues until April 5 - one month later.

 

This 30-day period is the most essential for citizen oversight.

 

With such a large volume of ballots to process and a fixed finish line, action may be fast and furious at the processing centers. Many counties will have extended hours, late into the evening and on weekends.

 

The temptation to rush the job to finish on time will threaten the careful scrutiny every envelope and every California voter deserves.

 

The presence of Citizen Observers will make a difference.

 

If you have already been out there observing, THANK YOU!!

 

One trip to do so is likely to convince you of just how important you are. Continue to Observe as often as you can.

 

If you have not yet ventured forth - NOW is the time.

 

Each day between now and March 5th:

 

  • More and more ballots will be going into drop boxes. Are you watching?
  • More and more ballots are arriving by mail. Are you watching?
  • Vote Centers are open (as of two days ago). Are you watching?
  • Ballot harvesters are hard at work, and some may behave unethically. Are you watching?

 

Each day between March 6th and April 5:

 

  • Postmarks on mail-in ballots should be scrutinized (until March 12).
  • Signatures will be verified.
  • Envelopes will be opened, and ballots extracted.
  • Ballots will be inspected.
  • Ballots will be duplicated.
  • Ballots will be digitally adjudicated.

 

WILL YOU BE WATCHING?

 

EIPCa urges you to make a difference. Never doubt that even one observer can increase the integrity of the process, and the more time you give, the more difference you’ll make.

 

Remember:

 

  • Find a partner or interested group.
  • Together, read or re-read all of the “Vote Safe and a Little more in 2024” articles.
  • Together, make a schedule to go two-by-two to observe drop boxes, polling locations, ballot processing centers.
  • Schedule in a social component (coffee, lunch…) to make it more enjoyable.

You will find a great sense of pride and renewal of purpose and power as an American citizen when you engage.

EIPCa Voter Roll Research
Questions Surround Irregularities in California’s 2020 Election

Nonpartisan watchdog seeks answers on over 2 million documented registration and voting anomalies.


Santa Clarita, California (June 22, 2021)Click here to download copy of press release-- California’s November 3, 2020 election was marred by significant voting and registration irregularities, according to Election Integrity Project® California, Inc. (EIPCa). The non-partisan organization analyzed the state’s official voter list of February 9, 2021 and reported its findings to California’s Secretary of State Shirley Weber on June 17, 2021. This followed EIPCa reports of 2020 cross-state voting on April 30 and May 18, 2021 that the Secretary has ignored. EIPCa’s June report cites California’s election code that requires officials to provide timely answers to citizens’ questions.

EIPCa seeks answers to the following questions, on behalf of California voters:

  1. Why are there almost 124,000 more votes counted in California’s November 3, 2020 election than voters recorded as voting in that election? And why is most of the discrepancy driven by 116,000 vote-by-mail ballots with no apparent voter identified in VoteCal’s voting histories? Click for a list by county.
  2. Why do more than 7,700 voters have TWO November 3, 2020 votes credited to their voting histories? These are two votes credited to each of 7,700 unique (non-duplicated) registration ID numbers in the state database. This indicates mass double voting, a significant programming error in the state’s registration system, or both.
  3. Why does California have 1.8 million more registered voters than eligible citizens and why did this overage rise 72% in the 2020 election cycle? Click for a list by county.

VoteCal Database Date # Counties with Registrations Exceeding # Eligible Citizens Total Ineligible Registrations
March 2020 11 1,063,957
February 2021 23 1,834,789 (+72% since 3/20)
  1. Why did California’s on-line and DMV registration systems change 33,000 foreign-born voters’ birthplaces of record to “California” or “United States”, potentially masking non-citizens unlawfully registered to vote? Similarly, why were 76,000 birthplaces changed from another U.S. state to California? Click for a chart of birthplace changes.

“Many in the nation are questioning the validity of the 2020 general election in their states”, said EIPCa President Linda Paine. “Mass irregularities in California’s registration and voting numbers continue to erode voter confidence here and we are hopeful Secretary Weber will immediately address our questions.”
