New Election Reforms Blog

There is a new blog called Election Reforms, about the subject of ... election reforms.

Launched by Sound Politics reader Hanna, who did the painstaking work that exposed the first confirmed cases of both a double voter and a dead voter earlier this month!

1. Not to say that finding double voters isn't important, but finding matching entries in a computer database isnt exactly time consuming or very complicated. Computer databases are designed with that very purpose in mind. If I had access to the database files I could find every double vote in a matter of minutes(the download would no doubt be the most time consuming part of the process).

If double voting is in fact occured, it is very easy to identify. If anyone wanted the readers of this blog to find or identify them they would have made the database files available for download (or pointed us in the right direction).

All of this of course means nothing. Voters are not tracked by name (nor should they be) they are tracked by SSN(which should not be made public).

Anyone with the ability to create a web interface to the voter database could easily identify all double votes without reader input (this would take seconds not weeks). This makes me think that this is all a way to distract people, and keep them interested in this fight rather than as a way to actually find fraudulent voters.
