Hand Count the Ballots - Verify Fair Elections
In 2016 there is strong evidence that Bernie Sanders was the actual winner of the Democratic primary, calling into question the integrity of our entire election system. Never before has there been, on full display, such rampant machine "vote flipping," voter suppression, and the media's willingness to ignore it to a degree that it has become complicit. In just one of many reports, Election Justice USA's "Democracy Lost: A Report on the Fatally Flawed 2016 Democratic Primaries" shows how in state after state, the results of machine tallying of votes exhibited statistically impossible behavior which is a sure sign of election rigging.
No wonder that nothing ever changes in Washington DC. Our democracy has been hijacked, and the voters' will means little or nothing. How many long-time incumbents who it seems it is nearly impossible to vote out could be benefitting from the system too? Do we have a democracy at all?
Fifty-nine countries, including advanced industrialized nations such as Germany, Canada, Australia, Denmark, France, Ireland, Italy, Sweden, and Spain, now have returned to purely hand-counted, paper ballot voting systems.
This GoFundMe is for the fees and expenses of setting up a non-profit, 501c3 organization dedicated to passing laws in every state requiring that all elections be conducted by paper ballots, which are hand-counted in public.
Bernie Sanders explained that a revolution is not a one day affair. It takes time and commitment, and changing the very structures of corruption which prevent progress. If we do not truly have the vote, nothing else we do as involved citizens matters. It doesn't matter what candidates we work for or how progressive or conservative they are. We are powerless.
Many Sanders supporters have taken a pledge to run for public office. But how will we know if they won? The best minds in election integrity all agree: Paper ballots, counted by hand and in public, will make it difficult to do what is done today with ridiculous ease: vote hacking and vote-flipping. Please watch this clip from the HBO documentary Hacking Democracy to see how easy it is:
This money will be used to cover the fees and expenses associated with starting a 501c3 non-profit organization, in order to lobby relentlessly for hand counting paper ballots in every voting jurisdiction in the US.
The first step to getting back our democracy is getting back our votes. I am a writer-journalist whose articles on these issues are well-known, and I am the plaintiff in a lawsuit in Massachusetts demanding that the votes in the 2016 Democratic primary in my state, and by implication in other states, be audited by citizens and re-counted by hand, to expose possible election fraud against Bernie Sanders.
