Let’s Do This!!

Election Integrity Project^®California (EIPCa) has been consistent in its staunch stand against unnecessary voting by mail from day one. Our documentation and research of 12 years has strengthened both our stance on the matter and our resolve to do our utmost to spread our message and our reasons with even more resolve.

Casting a ballot in an envelope when not physically and absolutely necessary is a gift to a system that, due to its complexity, permissiveness and lack of checks-and-balances leaks integrity like a sieve. Ballots submitted in an envelope are subject to all manner of misfortune, including potential loss, theft and alteration. It’s as simple as that.

All the while, busy voters, grateful for a reason to believe in the “ease” and “convenience” of the whole scheme, continue to be lulled by the assurances of those whose vested interest in the system should generate at least a bit of suspicion.

The recklessness of automatically mailing a ballot to every “active” voter on a woefully unmaintained and unreliable database (VoteCal) is a policy (law) near the top of the long list of California legislation that has all but completely destroyed election integrity in this state.

Such a policy gives free rein to bad actors who have no scruples against stealing or waylaying legitimate ballots, making use of opportunities to appropriate ballots directed to voters who are deceased or moved out of state, or even injecting illegitimate ballots into the chaos of the millions flying hither and yon and passing through hundreds of hands for 60 days.

It is the responsibility of elected officials to build a legal wall of protection between their citizens and any subversion of their constitutional right to choose those who represent them at the city, county, state and federal level through fair, honest and transparent elections. Instead, California officials have decimated that wall, betraying their most sacred obligation.

Even more troublesome is the 20+ years of misdirection, propaganda and outright voter deception perpetrated by those who knowingly inserted the corrupting policies into the fabric of California’s election system. The boldness with which they have chipped away at the foundation of what was once a reasonably trustworthy system while putting up a smoke screen of claims that they are increasing voter “accessibility” and fighting voter suppression is astounding and insulting.

EIPCa has filed a federal lawsuit to challenge those laws as unconstitutional. But until that suit can reach a successful conclusion, there is one major step every enlightened citizen can take to minimize the damage of the vote by mail scheme:

Even more, EIPCa urges citizens to actively spread the word that elections and party officials will not: that citizens can take back much of the lost election integrity by spreading the EIPCa VOTE IN PERSON message far and wide.

One creative individual suggested that we all grab whatever materials are at our disposal and create signs to put in our yards and windows, to wave on freeway overpasses and street corners, to display at cooperating local businesses and neighborhood centers, all bearing the simple message:

EIPCa Coordination Teams cannot do this alone. Even if every one of EIPCa’s trained observers joins in, the effort will still be limited. We need EVERYONE to do it, and for the effort to spread and grow. This can become the biggest voter education effort yet.

But it’s up to you. Are you in?
