This is a case of using a voting system where the ballots are not always kept under official supervision.

- This happens in all systems where ballots are taken away from the polling site.

- In most cases, the ballot is mailed to a voter and then returned by the voter.

- While out of official supervision, someone could destroy, copy, or alter the ballot.

- There is no way to detect when a ballot is destroyed or cast by another person.

- There is no easy way to detect when a ballot is destroyed by an official.

- Prohibit voting by mail systems or find secure ways (e.g. registered mail) to operate them.

- Even postmen can alter the vote by destroying ballot envelopes they think they oppose.

- Include security features or codes that detect tampering and making copies.

- It is impossible to check for the wrong person intercepting and casting or discarding the ballot.

- Officials handling ballots must be under observation by security at all times.

This is a case of someone using a computer to break into voting machines to tamper with the election.

- This is relatively rare, because most voting systems are not connected to the Internet.

- In most cases, the hacker would have to have access to the inside of each machine.

- Because ballot positions are set by local machine techs, remote hackers would not know which ballot position has which candidate.

- Prohibit voting machines having any access to the Internet at any time.

- Have security on all voting machines at all times.

- Check the backgrounds and political fervors of all machine techs.

This is where someone (including a political party or the press) releases false allegations about a candidate to trick voters into not voting for that candidate.

- This is usually an allegation of criminal or moral wrongdoing against a candidate on the ballot.

- Democrats and the liberal press have used this trick in every election since 1982.

- This usually happens within a month of the election, making it hard to investigate the allegations before the election.

- Often the story is kept secret by a reporter until the time when the allegation can't be investigated before the election.

- Making, soliciting, or publishing any false allegation against a candidate with intent to change the outcome of an election should be a felony with jail time greater than the jail time for the falsely alleged event.

- Keeping an allegation against a candidate secret until the month before the election should also be a felony with jail time.

- Allow the political party affected by such allegations to substitute candidates.

- Use the Independent Voting System, so electing another candidate is not needed to stop an accused candidate.

Election officials do something to make the vote favor one party or candidate.

- The officials change the calibration of a touch screen voting system.

- The officials start the machine with votes already in it.

- The officials try to count ballot damage as attempts to vote.

- An official "discovers" some uncounted ballot.

- An official surreptitiously moves ballots from the counted table to the uncounted one.

- All inspections and tests of voting equipment must be observed by experts from all political parties.

- The positions of candidates on the ballots of electronic voting machines must be decided randomly at the last minute, so the voting positions can't be biased or preloaded.

- The custody of all ballots must be monitored by officials of all parties to watch for any ballot moving and introducing schemes.

- Tampering with the vote must be a felony.

The problem here is that most voting systems fail miserably when more than two candidates run. They usually introduce biases into the election.

- This is rampant in elections because most officials think the election system they are using is fair.

- The system most officials think is fair (but is the most unfair one) is the Plurality Voting System (vote for only one). It favors the candidate most different from the others.

Ranking is unfair in other ways. Increasing the vote for a candidate can often reduce his final position in the outcome.

- Use the totally fair Independent Voting System (vote on each candidate separately). It works right no matter how many candidates run.

- Prohibit all uses of the PLURALITY VOTING SYSTEM (vote for only one).

- Prohibit all voting systems that use RANKING (put your choices in order).

- Prohibit all STRAIGHT-PARTY voting systems.

- Prohibit all AT-LARGE voting.

- Prohibit all WINNER-TAKE-ALL voting.

Today's news media are strongly biased toward liberal candidates and platforms. They do this for selfish pecuniary reasons.

- Reporters are wrongly taught in journalism school to "change the world" by promoting progressivism, instead of being neutral as journalists are supposed to be.

- Journalists want Obamacare for themselves because wire service reporters are not employees, so they don't get benefits.

- Some Journalists create totally fake news to discredit some politicians.

- The person who becomes a journalist is usually a right-brain touchy-feely writer, not a logical left-brain person. A right-brain person gets emotional over all victims and wants government to "do something".

- Reporters should be able to earn and display an impartiality badge. To get it, a reporter must not in any way favor any political candidate, party, program, or belief. Reporters who do not have the badge cannot be trusted to be impartial. Those awarding the badges must be evenly distributed among all political beliefs.

- There should be databases of instances of reporter bias and fake news available on the Internet.

- Any reporter who is convicted of publishing any false allegation against a candidate with the intent to change the outcome of an election shall be jailed.

Several tricks have been used to keep voters from voting at precincts that tend to favor a certain political party.

- Voter registrations were changed so registrations didn't match their IDs.

- Phishing was used to get info to change voter registrations.

- Blocking polling place entrances or parking with construction, paving, mud from dug-up pipes, tree work, wrecks, or fires.

- Blocking polling place entrances or parking with special events, races around polling place blocks, special event parking, or traffic leaving distant special events.

- Putting power out at polling places

- Stealing cartridge from voting machines.

- There should be no way to change a registration without an ID in person at the voter registration office.

- Officials need to monitor what goes on at and near polling places before and during elections. Especially construction activities must be monitored.

- Special events must not be scheduled on election day.

- Election day must not be treated as a holiday.

- Backup power and lighting must be provided at polling places

- Officials should be monitoring and securing voting machines.

Some parties and, politicians try to cheat by paying for people's votes.

- Some political parties pay people to register to vote for their party by giving them cookies, pizzas, or other things of value.

Some parties promise to give government handouts to people if they win.

Some parties promise to give free health care to people if they win.

Sometimes a party makes people think they won't have to work anymore if it wins.

- Political parties should be prohibited from giving away things in exchange for registering to vote.

- Government giving away free things should be illegal. People should somehow be working for everything they get from government.

- People should learn that government has no power to create wealth, so nobody can promise that they won't have to work.

Opponents use these tricks to make a candidate ineligible to run for the office.

- Evicting the candidate from sehr residence, making the candidate no longer a resident of the district.

- Bank foreclosing a mortgage, making the candidate no longer a resident of the district

- Spouse throwing the candidate out of the house, making the candidate no longer a resident of the district

- Fake news stories about the candidate committing a felony.

- Use the Independent Voting System, so signatures are not necessary.

A voter uses tricks to vote more than once.

- The voter steals the identities of other voters, usually in multiple counties and precincts, and impersonates them.

- The voter uses the names of recently deceased people and registers in multiple counties and precincts, impersonating them.

- The voter steals voter cards from mailboxes and impersonates those voters.

- A group has many members using the methods above to work together to cheat the election.

- A system using picture IDs should be used to catch multiple people using the same ID and one person using multiple IDs.

- The system using picture IDs should keep a list of deceased voters, to make sure their identities were not stolen.

- A voter ID should be mailed to each voter, who signs a return receipt. Inactive voters who don't sign the receipt will be purged. The ID is collected by the polling place, making sure it is used only once.

- It should be a felony for any person to vote more than once. The penalty should be the length of the term of the office the person tried to bias.

- It should be a felony for any person or group to incite, condone, or abet voter fraud.

A pollworker or official gets rid of votes he doesn't like.

- A postal worker destroys votes from precincts that usually vote the way he opposes.

- The worker scans incoming mail and destroys votes from precincts that usually vote the way he opposes.

- The worker opening the mail destroys ballots that vote for the candidate he hates.

- Only the party in power gets to open and count the ballots. They destroy just enough ballots to make sure their candidates win.

- They destroy the ballots in ways that leave no evidence.

- All ballots shall be photographed and serialized when they arrive at the polling place.

- Ballots shall always be under surveillance. They must nev4er be left in a place where they are not watched, and no person shall ever be allowed to be alone with the ballots.

- All pollwatchers shall be allowed to see up close what is done with the ballots.

- One pollwatcher from each party shall be allowed to count the ballots. An investigation must be held of even one of the tallies of the officials and the pollwatchers totals to a different number.

- After the count, the ballots must be compared with the photographs and serializing, to detect any missing or extra ballots.

Labor unions try to influence the elections.

- Unions donate collected union dues to a political party (usually the Democrat party) without the consent of the individual members who paid the dues.

- Unions tell their members to vote for certain candidates. Often they tell members that other candidates are against their union rights.

- Unions should never use member dues to donate to political candidates.

- Unions must not discriminate against any political beliefs when admitting members.

- Workers shall not be required to join unions or other worker advocacy groups or have certain political beliefs to have or keep jobs.

The losing party often tries to trick the government into changing the outcome of the election. Sometimes the press tries these tricks. But they usually don't have a clue what they are doing:

- They create scandals to have the winner impeached or disqualified.

- They think that, if the winner is impeached or disqualified, somehow the runner-up in the election wins the office.

- In 2005, a liberal group told people that if they impeached president Bush that John Kerry would become president. Now they say that Clinton would become president if Trump is impeached.

- They demonstrate, demanding that the outcome of the election must be changed.

- They demand that the popular vote must be used to elect the president.

- People can usually see through the scandals the activists create.

- If the incumbent is impeached or disqualified, the party of the winner appoints or votes on a replacement.

- That liberal group is wrong. The order of succession is defined by law. Election losers aren't in it. Impeaching Bush would have made Cheney president. Impeaching Trump would make Pence the president.

- Demonstrating is about as useful as sticking your tongue out at the winner.

- The Constitution uses the electoral vote to keep big states from controlling the election.

Some celebrities and studios try to cheat by using celebrity fame to sway voters.

- Most celebrities are liberals (as are most artisans).

- Most celebrities discuss their political beliefs on talk shows.

- Most TV and movie scripts contain political beliefs (mostly liberal).

- Some celebrities join wacky demonstrations when they don't get their way in an election.

- Voters need to recognize that celebrities and other artisans have liberal beliefs because they hate having to compete on the open market for income and prices, and want government to pay them for their art.

- People also need to recognize that the writers of movies, TV shows, and music lyrics are inserting their political beliefs into them.

Some parties, politicians, and studios try to cheat by using celebrities to bias the elections.

- Political candidates invite celebrities to political rallies to attract voters who like the celebrities.

- Celebrities hold their own get-out-the-vote rallies for the political candidates they support.

- The use of celebrities could be considered to be a form of vote buying.

- The contributions by celebrities to political events could be considered political contributions.

A politician hires a stooge to run as a third party clone of his opponent to split the opposing vote.

- This works because most people think the Plurality Voting System they are using is fair.

- The Plurality Voting System (vote for only one) unfairly favors the candidate most different from the others. The politician hiring the clone knows this.

- Running a clone candidate makes the opponent and the clone candidates look alike.

- This makes the politician who hired the clone become the candidate most different from the others.

- Using the totally fair Independent Voting System (vote on each candidate separately) prevents this kind of cheating.

- Prohibit all uses of the PLURALITY VOTING SYSTEM (vote for only one).

- Prohibit all voting systems that use RANKING (put your choices in order).

- Prohibit all STRAIGHT-PARTY voting systems.
