Many people believe that human contact will still be dangerous seven months from now, and therefore propose 100% voting-by-mail.
But in many states, voter rolls contain registrants no longer eligible to vote due to death or relocation, as well as duplicate registrations. Under currently-proposed "all vote-by-mail" plans, they would be mailed a ballot, facilitating fraud.

Election Integrity Project CA proposes a realistic contingency plan, modifiable to fit states as appropriate.
First, ALL counties must immediately:
-
resolve all duplicate registrations
- mail a NVRA-compliant postcard to all registrants on the active voter list who have shown no electoral activity since the 2012 Presidential Primary. Those who do not respond must be moved without delay to the inactive list.
Then …
-
All active voters must be notified that polls will NOT be open for the November election. Voters wishing to participate must submit a vote-by-mail request.
- The public must be informed of this requirement by all possible means: snail mail, email, text, robocall, billboards, print media, PSAs, social media, etc.
- Voters must be strongly advised of the inadvisability of returning their ballot by USPS and encouraged to use a staffed drop box or the elections office to submit their ballot.
- The request for a vote-by-mail ballot must be accompanied by a legitimate ID. Whether the request is in writing or by phone, would-be voters must be required to provide name, address, signature, birthday AND state license/ID # or the last 4 numerals of their social security number.
-
Starting 10 days before Election Day, counties must establish convenient ballot drop-off locations in each community.
- Drop-boxes must be staffed by no fewer than two elections officials.
- Ballots must be emptied DAILY employing a two-person chain of custody.
- County Registrars must establish satellite offices, conveniently distributed throughout the county. These satellites, which will practice social distancing and mask and glove wearing if deemed necessary in November, must be open on Election Day and the preceding Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
- The ROV office and its satellites must allow vote-by-mail ballot surrender, and all in-person votes cast by registered voters on any of the four days of operation must be accepted and treated as if they had been cast at a polling place on Election Day.
The above measures are simple, doable, and not only preserve but greatly improve election integrity.
Election Integrity Under Assault Nationwide
President Trump references EIPCa's successful lawsuit
Recently, President Trump expressed concern about efforts to use the COVID-19 crisis to push for loosening election integrity measures nationwide. Proposals include federal mandates for no-excuse vote-by-mail ballots, all vote-by-mail elections, rescinding voter ID requirements, banning voter list clean-up, and legalization of California-style ballot harvesting for all states. ....

Yesterday, a reporter asked the president for evidence that vote-by-mail ballots are a source of vote fraud. President Trump referenced the bloated voter roll information provided by EIPCa to Judicial Watch attorneys as primary evidence in our joint 2017 lawsuit. Though settled in our favor, it will take years for the chaos of the voter rolls to be diminished even if the California Secretary of State and the Registrars of Voters are diligent. And the case only focused on inactive registrations. Fixing other problems like duplicated and deceased registrations may require further legal action.
Voter rolls in a multitude of states are in similar disarray. This is among the many reasons that unrestricted voting by mail would be fatally detrimental to election integrity.
With free-for-all voting by mail, ballot usurpation is relatively effortless and virtually impossible to prove. But it is doubtless that when the doors are wide open someone will take advantage.
When coupled with legalized no chain-of-custody ballot harvesting, vote by mail ballots become the perfect Trojan Horse to bring down the walls of election integrity. The president knows this and is right to oppose efforts to expand voting by mail and ballot harvesting.
The work of EIPCa, a 501(c)(3) public benefit corporation, is VALUABLE. It is also at risk. Peeling back the onion of election corruption in California benefits the entire nation.
Please help:
-
Email President Trump, informing him that EIPCa is a CRITICAL organization effectively working to expose and correct the problems in California. Implore him to credit our work and solicit our participation in further efforts.
- DONATE. EIPCa currently has active legal actions in two counties, and several more urgent ones lined up. They cannot be continued without funding, and our coffers are dangerously low. Give a generous gift now (www.eip-ca.com) and sign up to give an automatic monthly donation. Even $5 or $10 per month from many people will allow us to commit to the next steps with confidence that we can see them through.
Don't allow a national crisis to be used to damage our Republic. Join us.
Are Election Officials Writing Policies that Supersede Law?
EIPCa fully embraces not only our right but our obligation to OBSERVE every aspect of the electoral process, guaranteed to us by California law. Due to the overwhelming preponderance of vote-by-mail, provisional and conditional ballots submitted, it is vital that citizens oversee their processing, including signature verification and duplicating. Only then can we assure voters that a) every vote is cast lawfully, and b) every lawful vote is accurately counted.
Because there is no leadership from the Secretary of State with regard to policies and procedures that interpret the citizens' right to observe, each county's Registrar's office creates its own. Some variation is understandable and expected, but the basic right to observe, meaning to be close enough to see and hear that proper procedures are being followed, is codified in California law.
The action described in the following article seeks a court judgment clarifying that elections officials do not have the authority to write policies and procedures
that supersede California Election law, which we allege has happened in Ventura County, as well as several other California counties. A positive outcome to this case will ensure that EIPCa observers and all California citizens will be fully afforded their legal right of legitimate observation in every county.
