How to rig elections

To: VicNormal

Expanded your question with “Elections in US or elsewhere” and got this answer.

Answer:
“There are some foreign elections where exit polling and
statistical sampling have been used to overturn elections
or at least validate them.”

Here are more details relating to that answer.

1.  In other countries (classified as a democracy), they have votes counted by a non political group.
In Madison County it is by the parties, people with a direct political interest in who wins.
This is like washing with dirty water.

2.  In other countries, votes are counted in public.
But NOT in Madison County.  Votes are counted with secret software at precincts and precincts added in a small room at Gov center.  Public excluded at each stage.  A private contractor linked to the Republican Party does the counting in secret.
I asked Ludy the Clerk, are audits allowed???
Answer, NO.
No one, no gov agency allowed. No tests,  no audits, no oversight of any kind allowed to see if count is accurate.

3.  Election is certified as accurate and honest.
In Madison County, the only check is poll book count to voting machine votes cast (number of voters).  If those two numbers match.  Public told by Carmichael, “no problem” with election.  Public told the election is honest from the voter registration to the votes per each candidate.
This is a major deception.

4.  Records/data relating to county election system from voter registration to problem logs classified as secret in violation of IC public access law.  Poll workers told not to report irregularities.  See no evil report no evil.
You the public must have blind trust in the system.

So, not possible to have a fair and honest election in Madison County.

A rigged election can be tricky.  Win by too much and public will suspect something is wronge.  Too close and that may triger a recount that will expose vote flipping.
I met the Repub programmer that wrote the original logic for changing votes on machines like used here.  It is very simple and but not good in a blowout election.  The top objective is not be detected.  Later, saw more complicated logic added to fine tune totals.  Must avoid a recount and at same time not win by too much so other side will think, HA we almost won. But if the truth was known, the loser never had a chance.

And Salmon, thanks for the support!

Here is a starting point on what politicians can get on you.

Indiana now has a big data base on voters that is accessed locally.
Name is “Statewide Voter Registration System”, called “SVRS”.  It has been linked/merged with other data bases to get more than your Voter ID.

Here is a general list of some of the stuff SVRS has on you.
* Voter Registration (ID stuff) and voting history data on past voting
* Driver license BMV records
* Health records
* Police  records

Official policy is, info is “CONFIDENTIAL”.
I asked state election commission, How can I get a copy???.  (only wanted Madison County)
Answer, $ 5,000.
But that was for entire state.  Would NOT sell off by county.  So I did not get it.

A marketing company ( with $ 5,000 ) will use above as a starting point for linking to more data bases.  They will know more about a voter then the voter’s friends.  This info is sold to politicians so voter can be profiled into groups for a campaign.  Push the right buttons on the voter and voter will push the vote button for the politician.  But it is also used to suppress some voters.  Voter suppression complaints have been made in past elections in Madison County.

Don’t know if this is good or bad news.  I got into one of those expanded data bases and looked me up.  Some of the info was NOT correct.  Had my occupation and a few other things wrong.  Because all this is a secret, could not find where the bad data came from and no idea how to correct it.  One thing for sure, I am not a happy camper.  Lost trust in the system.
