9. Here's the problem with the "proof" portion of the program.
If somebody is lying dead on the street, and I saw a car and the license number speeding away right after I heard the gunshots, do I need PROOF to ask the police to go after them and question them? And perhaps do some forensics on their hands to test for gunshot residue? And get a warrant to search their car for a gun?

No. It is not the job of citizens to go catch the fleeing car, hold the people, send lab tests off and get PROOF.

That is the job of law enforcement.

When it comes to election tampering and theft, all of a sudden the entire burden seems to fall on us, the hardworking citizens, to come up with PROOF even though we are persistently denied access to the EVIDENCE -- such as poll books, ballots, the software or innards or audit logs of computers, phone logs -- even the ownership of the companies that own the voting machines is sometimes murky.

There is sufficient evidence that flaws and fraud were committed in many states, but most especially Ohio, that law enforcement should be all over this. But, we the citizens are supposed to provide the goddamn proof.

If the law would just work, and judges would go ahead and lockdown the evidence (should've been done on November 3rd) and proceed to investigate, the proof would come out.
