Save our elections Aug. 16-17
Lindell says to share this far and wide. He says they have a new plan that will save our elections. They will reveal the plan August 16-17. He says the plan will make sense, and everyone is going to love it. See the comments below for my thoughts and speculations.

Lindell has held symposiums in recent years, which have revealed valuable information, but so far not enough to capture mainstream consensus.
Our goal is to have a single election day where people show up in person, vote on paper ballots, and count those ballots by hand. The problem is that politicians and judges who control the current system came to power through the current system, and they don’t want to change it. I am thinking that any change will need to somehow be outside the current system.
One theory is that the military is already running the country behind the scenes, in response to a treasonous coup d’état attempt by Biden in November 2020. Since elections are critical infrastructure, the military can oversee the elections, similar to what they did in Iraq and Afghanistan. While this might be what is needed, I am thinking it would be stressful for the American people.
Another possibility would be to amend the US Constitution. The framers included provisions for states to do this, and if that doesn’t work, the people can hold a constitutional convention. I’m thinking the logistics for this would be difficult to pull off by 2024, and I’m not sure how it would gain legitimacy in the public eye right now.
Another plan outside the current system is American States Assemblies. It would result in a totally different judicial system. It requires people to change their citizenship status. I’m not sure how to get mass participation in that.
Elected county officials have full authority to determine the time, place and manner of elections. State legislatures have full authority to determine the time, place and manner of presidential elections. But most of these officials don’t know their power, are afraid to use their power, or are not interested in using their power.
I think we can do more with exit polling. That could raise awareness, but it wouldn’t solve the raw political power dilemma.
Maybe election judges can do something, but it seems they are constrained by the current system.
Another idea is notarized affidavits of who you voted for.
Those are some ideas. It will be interesting to see if the Lindell Event announces something totally different. Register now, and find out August 16-17!

What was announced today at the Lindell Election Summit is a new device that can prove that voting machines are connected to the Internet. As an election judge, I already knew that the machine does a modem send after polls close. Now, the time of day might be important, and how much data is being transmitted. I think the more information these new devices can provide, the better. It’s great to prove that they are lying, but like the first questioner pointed out, that doesn’t prevent the rigged flash drive delivered to City Hall.
If this technology can identify the Internet signal, perhaps it can also jam it. Though we would probably need the military on our side for that.
I also wonder if this new technology might shed light on other Internet activity unrelated to elections.
Tom,
The ballot tabulators are only connected to a network insofar as they are needed to transmit results at the end of election day. There is no other use for the machine's network connection, and thus the modeming or networking ability of the machine is turned off for the entire day until polls close. The software on the machines makes it so that it is incapable of establishing a connection that it does not initiate itself, meaning no outside devices can connect to the machine except the approved computers in election headquarters.
In addition, the data that the ballot tabulator sends to the election headquarters is accompanied by a digital "key", which is known by the recipient of the data at the headquarters. If there was any tampering with the data, the key would show evidence of such and the recipient would know the data is no good.
Best,

Missouri Elections: Return to Hand Counting
Today I read the first 7 1/2 chapters and skimmed the rest. Chapters 3 and 4 are a good overview. Chapter 5 goes into more detail. Chapter 6 has blank forms.
Page 18 talks about how Missouri had laws on the books from 1977 detailing hand counts. Maybe Minnesota has something similar.
Page 203 describes the Cajun Clothesline test used in Louisiana. They hung ballots on a line and used a pulley system to give multiple judges a look at the ballots.
In Missouri, basically there are 4 people on each counting team, 2 Counting Judges and 2 Recording Judges, balanced by party. The Counting Judges state the line number for the candidate that got the vote, and the Recording Judges use a felt tip pen dot to increment the count on their respective tally sheet. If they make a mistake, they circle it in pencil, then erase the circle when the next vote comes up. If there are no more votes, they cross out the last dot with a blue X. They swap out the ballot boxes and count a batch at a time. They copy over the totals onto a batch total form, and then a grand total form.
They do not make 4 tick marks and cross through them on the 5th. That was my first guess at how it would be done. Their method might be faster and more precise, but in a crunch, I would want to just grab an empty ballot and start jotting tick marks in the white spaces next to the candidates’ names. When there is no more room, then you add up what you have in multiples of 5 and copy that over to a batch total form.
