Current Election System Failure

Current Election System Failure

“The public happiness is the true object of legislation, and can be secured only by the masses of mankind themselves awakening to the knowledge and care of their own interests.” George Bancroft, August 1835

The problems we face with election fraud are many more than people first think.  It’s more than manipulated machines and voter ID.  The 2020 election, with no doubt many before it, was plagued by numerous occurrences, from clerks being misguided, to outright, illegal changes to election laws.  The 2020 election was a defining moment in the outlining of the manipulation.  There are 3 main areas that our election system struggles in, all of them playing a role separately and together, to give us the mess we are under now.

The first problem is the lack of officials to uphold their oath, to know the responsibility given to them and the duties it entails.  From poll workers to clerks, there are MANY that do not understand the basics of Michigan election law.  This leaves room for errors and mistakes to be made all along the way.  When workers do not know their duties under the law, it makes a breakdown of the system inevitable.  We as citizens must insist that the people in these positions can be trusted.

The second problem facing our elections is outright fraud.  This happens by changing laws and procedures through improper means, to making back door deals funded by specific people or groups.  Improperly handled election materials by officials, a lack of oversight, and election tabulating equipment not being properly monitored are the 3 main causes for actual fraud to impede our election system.  Not having the proper chain of command in place is also another part of this problem.The second problem facing our elections is outright fraud.  This happens by changing laws and procedures through improper means, to making back door deals funded by specific people or groups.  Improperly handled election materials by officials, a lack of oversight, and election tabulating equipment not being properly monitored are the 3 main causes for actual fraud to impede our election system.  Not having the proper chain of command in place is also another part of this problem.

The third and most prevalent problem is the uninformed voter.  This can be the most dangerous asset in the entire system.  A voter must know AND understand the duties and rights they have, both before and after their ballot has been cast.  Voters must also understand that they are not at the mercy of the system.  If we want anything to change in this broken system, it is up to us!  We have allowed the government to keep the government in check for far too long.  We have forgotten who our elected representatives must answer to.  Who put them there?  We did, and we can remove them just the same.  We need an informed people. THIS is how we combat voter fraud.  We The People must get back in the driver seat!

We have to realize and remember that we the citizens are the heart of our nation.  Without elections, voices will be silenced, and we will be cheated in more ways than one.  We have a right to vote, but we also have the responsibility to vote.  There’s a lot that comes with that responsibility.  It is up to us to make sure our elections are fortified and the voice of the people is heard and fair.  We must be diligent in upholding the true morals and values of our nation’s founding. We must protect our freedoms and our rights as Americans, guaranteed by our Constitution.
