Letter to the editor: Machines susceptible to fraud

OPINION:

We see it in Brazil and other South American countries. We saw it in 2020 in the U.S., where state after state that voted GOP for House and Senate “flipped” for Biden. Maricopa County, Arizona, admits the machines can be programmed to cheat, because they claimed the machines audited by Cyber Ninjas might be programmed to cheat and had to be replaced. We saw the Cyber Ninjas run into “resistance” from sheriffs, judges and uncooperative bureaucrats, as well as tech problems. Democracy is under attack and we need to respond. We must first learn from Cyber Ninjas and adjust our playbook. I have an idea.

Avoid what the supporters of the machines control. Go to what they don’t control: the people. Obtain a list of registered voters and those who voted. Set up “Affidavit production centers” where people can quickly go in and sign an affidavit saying “I voted for X.” Advertise with celebrities. We have the right to know if the machines are accurate or rigged. 

We must try. To accept the machines is to make George Soros and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger dictators. I am not an expert and my proposal may be upgraded by sharper minds, but I do have a suggestion for the first “We the People” audit: Virginia’s seventh congressional district. There, Democratic “rising star” Abigail Spanberger had her “calmest” election ever. If we get 140,000 voters from that district to sign an “I voted Vega” affidavit, Spanberger likely won’t be quite so calm anymore.

Then we must petition the Supreme Court to ban these machines.
