12. Here's what former Pres. Jimmy Carter says about why our elections can't be "observed" ...!!
JIMMY CARTER re our Elections –

President Jimmy Carter –

Carter Center, Alabama, saying they could not serve as observers in US elections because we

lack the three necessary criteria --


1 - Voters must be able to understand the ballot procedures and the ballots themselves

2 - Voters must have equal rights to have their votes counted

3 - There must be a central commission in the country to resolve election disputes


Carter says that none of these conditions prevail throughout the US – and that Florida violated

all three – !!



Universal & Equal Suffrage -

“The will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of government –

This will shall be expressed in periodic and genuine elections which shall be by

universal and equal suffrage --

United Nations 1948 – Universal Declaration of Human Rights –




“The most important control system the power brokers have established

in this country is that we the people will settle for less, that we will settle for

the least worst” –





Election Fraud and suggestions to correct it --

1. Repeal the Help America Vote Act (HAVA).
2. Replace all electronic voting with hand-counted paper ballots (HCPB).
3. Get rid of computerized voter rolls.
4. Keep all private vendors out of the election process.
5. Make it illegal for the TV networks to declare who won before the vote-count is complete.
6. Set up an exit polling system, publicly supported, to keep the vote-counts honest.
7. Get rid of voter registration rules, by having every citizen be duly registered on his/her 18th birthday.
8. Ban all state requirements for state-issued ID's at the polls.
9. Put all polling places under video surveillance, to spot voter fraud, monitor election personnel, and track the turnout.
10. Have Election Day declared a federal holiday, requiring all employers to allow their workers time to vote.
11. Make it illegal for Secretaries of State to co-chair political campaigns (or otherwise assist or favor them).
12. Make election fraud a major felony, with life imprisonment--and disenfranchisement--for all repeat offenders.
