Fraud 101: Why You Can’t Determine Legal Status of a Voter From An Anonymous Ballot

I defy you, by examining a paper ballot, to determine if the ballot was cast by a legally registered voter.

Zee, you know it’s not election season, so why are you writing about voter registration? And what’s up with the coins?

It may seem strange to write about voter registration and election fraud during the non election season. Sadly, in our state of Michigan we have a divide between up ballot and down ballot results, and we have let this issue recede from our attention. But it is the single most important factor for us if we are to reestablish election integrity in 2026, and that means our freedom. We won’t have liberty without it. We can pretend, but then we are slowly separated from the mechanisms that keep a tight rein on our government, and we just end with more USAID operations that waste and use our tax dollars against us. And in some cases to keep us oppressed and censor us.

The key to a secure election is cleaning the voter registrations. By claiming that there was no election fraud and ignoring the 606,000 voters who are “invalid”, yet remain on the rolls, we are ensuring huge losses. We need to understand how that affects the voting process, and how relying solely on hand counting ballots misses that avenue of fraud. Completely. And no, it doesn’t mean we keep Dominion machines, we have to return to paper ballots and one day of voting and Election Day tabulation of results.

And because we have so much to do to get ready to defeat those who like the corruption that has bankrupted us, we have to have this argument now, and resolved so we can get rolling. Vote harder won’t work if absentee ballots can just be “discovered” and somehow always favoring the establishment leftist candidate.

So we are going to do an experiment, and the logic of this exercise will bring you to the conclusion that I have reached: recounts, while important, do very little to prove or disprove election fraud. In fact they falsely leave the impression that there is nothing to the claims that we have a problem with our election security, and we should rejoin the mainstream and just vote harder and take our losses.

Many say that the voting machines proved to be a red herring, and therefore the hand recounts which reflected the ballots in hand demonstrate that there was election fraud that was not perpetrated. This is a lack of thinking that is dangerous, because it ignores where the fraud takes place, and how it evades detections by telling us to only look at the ballots.

I defy you, by examining a paper ballot, to determine if the ballot was cast by a legally registered voter. What are you counting? You do not have a chain of custody when you are recounting the votes by hand, so how do you know that the last bag of ballots discovered days after the polls closed contains votes from actual voters?

Michigan elected a US Senator with the suspension of credulity and skepticism when, after totals were adjusted down for both candidates, new votes were discovered and put Elisa Slotkin, the Democrat, over the top. Counting the ballots by hand would not have prevented fraud in this case. This election fraud occurs because we have 100,000s of improper, invalid and unverified voters on the voter rolls. Our Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson will not remove those voters until 2027.

Three weeks from an election in which the state will likely play a prominent and potentially deciding role, Michigan has one of the most bloated voter rolls in the nation. The state currently has 8.4 million registered voters, according to the latest records obtained by Bridge Michigan, nearly 500,000 more than the number of people in the state who are old enough to vote.

This provides many instances where absentee ballots can be supplied that link to a registration. If the registration is not valid, it is how the election fraud is achieved. Yes, the ballot is paper, but this is far less traceable, and once the vote leaves the ballot, it becomes even more difficult to trace its origins. As we know, the ballot is anonymous. And as was demonstrated by the Chinese National who admitted to voting in Ann Arbor, our Secretary of State told us that there was no way to locate and withdraw the ballot.

In other words there is no traceability.

The Experiment

So we’re going to do a little experiment, and it will be crystal clear how hand recounts of ballots do nothing to prevent voter fraud. You have no way of distinguishing a vote cast by a valid voter or a from a ballot cast with a false registration. In fact, Michigan passed laws that during the election you could only recount what you had on hand, and not only were you prevented from using the words “fraud”, the recount was not to be considered an audit. Furthermore, a recount could not adjudicate the validity of the ballots on hand.

So here we go, we are going to run a mini election for governor of Michigan. Readers in the other states, this still applies to you as well.

In our experiment, we have two candidates for governor: Rhonda Redcheckmark and Sara Sharpiesmudge. As good citizens we want secure elections and don’t want votes from creepy interlopers who moved out state to be mixed in with citizen’s votes. In our election each quarter represents a ballot. A quarter with the red mark is a vote for Rhonda Redcheckmark, a quarter with a black mark a vote for Sara Sharpiesmudge.

Our votes from Michigan, what we would consider legally cast ballots because they originate from Michigan citizens, are in the Blue Container.

We start off with the votes cast at the precinct. The Michigan Blue cup is all the people who show at the precinct and cast a vote. It looks like Rhonda Redcheckmark is in the lead with 5 votes to Sara Sharpiesmudge with 4 votes.

All the absentee ballot votes that will be submitted to our precinct are in the Purple Container. Now don’t tell the people at the precincts who will be counting, but some of those those absentee ballots are filled out for invalid voters. In other words, names from the voter rolls that Jocelyn Benson didn’t remove were used to get a real absentee ballot. Since the voter has moved out of state, their name can be used. But because they are actual absentee ballots, they look just like the ones from our Michigan Go Blue cup. But those ballots are not from legally registered voters. They are not fake ballots, the are Illegally Cast Votes.

The polls close. But wait, we have last minute votes, all votes must be counted. Here are the last ones we found. Ok, they are the absentee ballots, but we have to count those as well. Add them to group so the counters can begin.

Now here’s your assignment. Separate the quarters that are the votes cast by Michigan citizens from the quarters that represent the votes that are the Illegally Cast Votes. Here they all are. You can recount them as many times as needed.

You see, without knowing if a quarter came from the Blue or the Purple container, you have no clue if the ballot was legally cast by a valid registered voter from Michigan. It’s impossible to tell. Once the quarter leaves its container, our ability to trace its origins is eliminated. You can recount by hand all you want, you are now counting the bad ballots with the good ones.

In other words, once the absentee ballot leaves the envelope we lose the chain of custody and can’t distinguish if it’s “fake”. And looking at the ballot itself is useless. And it turns out that we discovered a bunch more ballots for Sara, in fact they were all for Sara but one! Amazing! Each year Sara’s party locates those votes, but we’re sure glad that they all were counted. And recounted. And recounted. Which ones are the Illegally Cast Votes, can you pick them out from the photo below?

A Treasure Chest of Fakes

In 2024 we had 606,800 number of unqualified registered voters on the rolls. Meaning we didn’t know the status of these voters, they could have moved, they could be maiden names, they could be dead people. In Michigan we have early voting and our precincts will accept absentee ballots days before the election. On Oct 29, 2024, a review of the daily qualified voter roll revealed that votes had been cast multiple times by the same person. In the end we had 125,000 excess votes, with one voter having cast his vote in 29 different regions.

This was explained as a “glitch” but we have yet to receive the technical explanation, and despite the claims that the service provider who tends the database claims that security violations could occur if details are revealed, we really deserve to know what time the anomaly occurred and what the repair was. I have developed software for over 30 years, and this is not rocket science, this should be a single row for the registered voter with unique elements of first name, last name, street address, city and zip code. And have completed systems for the state of Michigan, their contracts require an operating system log of all events. It’s required for auditing purposes and in this case an audit was needed.

To date we have no explanation. Patrick Colbeck has filed a lawsuit requesting details, and so far has been rebuffed.

There are more factors to consider with the registrations as well. In October of 2020 Muskegon county clerk Ann Meisch reported to the Attorney General that 8,000 false registrations were dropped off on one day. The State Police were notified, and the FBI was involved. The investigation is still pending.

But as you can see, we have a bank, a treasure chest, of invalid and potentially fake voters, and absentee ballots can be requested in their name, completed and dropped off in the ballot drop off box. Once the ballots have been separated and mixed in with the actual ballots, it’s just like our quarters experiment. You can not distinguish, by looking at the ballot, that it has been legally cast. So recounting the votes does nothing. You’re counting the fake voter ballots with the good ones, and with absentee voting and the extended period, a flood of these seemingly valid voters are brought into the system ahead of time.

And here is something else to consider as well: for a state-wide election, you can hide the fake votes by distributing them to all the counties. 20 here, 50 there. You can easily hide their number - they would be easier to spot if you had a bulk turn up in just Detroit. But spread it all over the state, collect absentee ballots for days, and once mixed in, you will never know. Recount as much as you want, you can’t find the fake ones.

You Can’t Sweep A Dirt Floor - Electronic Data Track Is Too Hard

As a software developer I became keenly aware of the Antrim county lawsuit by Matt DePerno regarding the Dominion voting machines, and on the OZFest Morning Mission podcast the topic of wide open nature of not only the Dominion machines, but the county networks has been a topic on multiple occasions.

On numerous occasions we hear “it’s the machines, get rid of the machines” as the solution for our election fragility. And yes, the Dominion machines should be eliminated and paper ballots used, because we can’t administer the machines securely. In Antrim county the Matt DePerno lawsuit revealed that the system that records changes to the hardware, software and communication was turned off on Election Day in 2020. And the backups were missing. We also learned that the administrator password was known by multiple people in the County Clerk office. In other words many people could use the central computer with the election database in “God” mode, and do what they wanted.

Many have claimed that keeping the voter rolls clean is like sweeping a dirt floor: it will never be truly clean. It’s too easy to move in records for fake registrations electronically into the databases. It happens so quickly you won’t be able to catch it.

That’s a complete misunderstanding of systems. It’s a brain dead statement. When I hear someone say that I can tell they don’t know what they are talking about. If they knew systems like many of those experts claim, then they are lying.

It is true that records move into the registration database from different sources, and there is a large volume of records to maintain. Entry of information from remote systems communicated to a central system comes through a gateway called an API. It’s an entry point, and the time that the information was sent to us at the central database is recorded. The size of the file is recorded too. I have programmed these types of systems for years, there are protocols you must follow when moving records between these systems to pass audits, and there are steps along the way that are also recorded as data is delivered.

This means you can trace activity. You will know when the floor has just gotten some dirt dropped onto it.

For backup and data integrity purposes there are before and after pictures taken of the database at intervals. So along with the date and time of the arrival of new data, we can determine the difference between what we had in the database at 10 am and what we have now at 2 PM.

This is database operations 101. There are no calculations here, just accumulation of a record per voter and a unique identifier assigned to the voter’s record so you can locate the voter information quickly and easily. Because that number is unique, should you see that number in the daily qualified voter file more than once, you know you have a problem.

If you have fake names in the voter registration, you can request an absentee ballot. It’s nonsense to claim that there is no way to track changes to the information and that we can not keep up with addition or alteration of electronic records. These systems don’t work that way. And I can think of several ways to track changes to individual records should the current database systems not support transactional tracking.

This is not hard. It may seem hard because of the number of voters, but that challenge is easily handled with today’s technology. I did it for the state of Michigan with large volumes of records. And it wasn’t expensive by any means.

There is no reason to ignore voter registrations. None.

It is the source of cheating that can be easily disguised. With the paper absentee ballots.
