On Your Honor

Part 3 of 7

 

This series of articles reveals the disconnect in California between the logical security measures behind most of society’s activities and the complete lack of security in the electoral process.

 

Want to rent a car? Pick up a ticket ordered online? Enter a government building? Buy ammo? Buy liquor? Buy allergy meds? Fine, show your ID.

 

BUT…Want to vote? No problem. We trust you. Everything is On Your Honor.

We now highlight the problems that occur along the path

of outgoing mail ballots.

 

The state’s decision to furnish all potential voters with ballots through the mail provides another destructive example of this ill-conceived honor system.

 

Counties utilize the postal service to mail a ballot to all persons on the voter rolls.

 

  • Most mail carriers and postal workers are honest, but like the population in general, a few are not.  This sad reality begs the questions:

     

    • If a postal worker decides to destroy or not deliver ballots, will anyone find out, and if yes, how? 

       

    • How does the post office prevent ballots from being stolen, or delivered to locations where they end up in the wrong hands?

 

  • Many ballots arrive at dormitories, nursing homes, and homeless shelters.  Ideally, the staff at these locations distribute the ballots correctly, making sure they get to the right people, and destroying or returning the ballots of people who no longer live there.

 

  • If bad actors intercept or destroy ballots before they can reach the legitimate voter, will anyone know?

 

  • Problems can also occur at houses when family members or others have passed away, moved or cannot vote for whatever reason.

 

  • California essentially ignores the possibility that someone could fill out the ballot of a dead parent, departed roommate, mentally incapacitated family member, or a household member who simply does not care to vote.

 

  • Because the state does a poor job of verifying signatures, undiscovered forgery becomes a real probability.

 

The vote by mail system

  1. floods communities with ballots that may not all have valid voters behind them
  2. allows individuals to mark their ballots outside the supervision of elections officials, and
  3. accepts virtually all signatures, which seriously undermines the integrity of our elections.

By implementing the vote-by-mail system, the state has created an entire system that operates outside the view of citizens and observers. 

 

This on-your-honor system BEGS to be manipulated.
