We must take a look at the root causes of election issues. For example, cleaning up voter rolls is good and must be done but how do we prevent voter rolls from being contaminated with fake voters in the future? Moving the voter rolls from ERIC is a good and necessary step.
Detective controls like periodically looking for records in voter rolls related to phantom voters are great. They must be done.
But we must ask how did the names get there in the first place? Preventative controls are what we must be focused on. These types of controls will prevent the phantom votes from making it into the voter rolls in the first place.
It might be that new election technology that very few individuals are talking about to date is the key. Companies like BPro, KNOWiNK, and more have voter roll modules. Are individuals using this software given free rein to add names to voter rolls? Are these systems connected to ERIC? Are bad actors given access?
If we want to save free and fair elections we must win and to do that we must identify the root causes of the many issues in our election processes and implement preventative controls so that we can prevent fraud in our future elections.
We have to implement preventative controls because after the election is stolen we will not be able to save it.
