If people think they don't control the elections, by now...they will never wake up. Clearly, they are desperate to eliminate any threats to their 'cheating systems' made possible with the passage of the Help America Vote Act of 2002. That legislation must be repealed to restore states' power to regulate their elections.
We also need REAL TIME, RAW exit poll data. While the polls are open. No need to quarantine it, all day, with media-folx and adjust it to match the actual results (IOW 'cheating'). Just a margin of error, please.
It is protected speech & the first *reform* after the 2000 election...except the media voluntarily stopped reporting it before the polls close. It doesn't require *new* legislation....just a plan to obtain it and not keep it secret all day.
With all the technology we have, it mustn't be too difficult to have every vote auditable, verifiable as to its legitimacy, on public display under an anonymous ID, and able to be checked by the voter who has a password to know which anonymous public ID is theirs.
Ha...well, you know, there is no Constitutionally protected right to a secret ballot. I say we vote with our names on our ballots. I am good with that. This isn't a union election...it's a national election.
I would much prefer that to a secret ballot that could be secretly tampered with. But there are ways to disconnect the voters and their voter IDs, and the voter IDs and votes, perhaps with another in-between identifier known only to auditors from all interested parties. Something like this A(voter)->(chosen ID)->vote B (public spreadsheet) -> (public ID) -> (auditors, public spreadsheet); whereas, only the voter needs to know all the IDs and can see their vote on the public spreadsheet.
Not that voters actually get their choice anyway, as the votes get "counted" "in secret." That's what the computers are for--and not just in the election, but in the primaries as well.
I’m actually a pretty big Pat Procter fan as he is my local representative in the conservative state of Kansas which has suffered much under the “leadership “ of hyper left governors ESPECIALLY in the last 4 years. If that is why he is making the change then I am all for it. You will notice by looking at the makeup of our state government it is conservative Except for 3 areas / counties in the state and getting railroaded by these ridiculous large cities is what is killing our conservative states and communities. I wish he would have carved out the presidential part of the requirement for this year but I still don’t think that 2% is a huge “ask” if you have a candidate that’s truly popular.
Let's give 'em 20%. Just tell supporters where to go to sign, and they'll show. And if they move the goal posts further, what will they say when a write-in candidate wins by too much of a landslide for even count rigging to overcome it?
Thank you for this reporting. I recommend the following links for individual action:

What's Wrong with Kansas?
they've banned the teaching of evolution,
think guns for teachers is a non-deadly solution,
homophobia encompasses their brains,
and shot Dr. Tiller, anti-abortion reigns,
now they seek to push RFK,Jr. off the ticket
it's not just Dorothy knows Kansas is wicked.

The Ultimate Gatekeepers. The ballot doesn’t belong to the state, it belongs to the people.
The manipulations are infuriating! And how they do it bold-faced in the light of day is even more so!
