Every now and then I find a simple and brilliant idea on the internet. If this system was in place in the CA election I believe a serious % of the problems could not have happened – or would have been immediately known.

VERICOUNT ELECTION AUDIT SYSTEM – ENSUREs THE INTEGRITY OF DEMOCRATIC ELECTIONS using FIVE APPS

01 – Poll Watcher App

Allows poll watchers to duplicate all the tallies collected by official poll workers, creating an independent record of polling-place results and revealing any post-polling tampering.

02 – Exit Voting App

Allows voters, upon departing their polling places, to re-record their votes, providing a 1:1 parallel count of the votes cast.

03 – Entering Voter app

Records the votes of voters who are forced to stand in line for many hours and may leave before casting their votes, thus providing potentially potent evidence of the effects of local government decisions to increase congestion and discourage voting.

04 – Voter App

Allows voters on their own initiative to record their ballot choices inside the voting booth.

05 – Election Observer App

Allows independent election monitors to upload photographs of suspicious activities that may compromise campaigning and voting.
