Comments on Advance Indiana™: Sanders Worried Microsoft Will Rig Iowa Caucus Results

Here is my idea to ensure election results can't be rigged while still maintaining the secrecy of the ballot.

1. Every precinct gets a set of paper slips, each with a unique number and barcode. The number would identify the year, precinct, and each slip would have a unique sequential identifier. For example "2016164952100918"... 2016 = 2016 (duh), 16 = Indiana, 49 = Marion County, 521 = polling station ID, 00918 = the 918th voter to show up that day. Sequential numbering is important to simplify auditing.
2. Each voter is supplied with one of these slips upon arrival at the polls. To preserve ballot secrecy, no record is taken of who gets what slip.
3. To vote, each voter scans the barcode and makes their selections. At the end, they confirm their selections and (optionally) get a printout of their selections.
4. Electronic results become public record accessible by anyone online, down to how each slip voted. This way, anyone who saves their slip can check that their vote was tallied properly, and anyone can verify that the reported results add up.

We are well into the 21st century; something like this should be possible, if our voting officials truly cared about a fair and democratic process.

This is interesting from Bill Moyers who writes about the fear the Establishment is in. >> Republican Party aficionado David Brooks > Brooks warned that his current nightmare for the nation is in triplicate — President Trump, President Cruz or President Sanders.

The momentum of the Sanders campaign will soon provoke a lot more corporate media attacks along the lines of a Chicago Tribune editorial that appeared in print on Monday. The newspaper editorialized that nomination of Trump, Cruz or Sanders “could be politically disastrous,” and it declared: “Wise heads in both parties are verging on panic.”

Each party's dalliance with candidates who could be politically disastrous gives the other an opportunity to capture the broad, sensible center. Clinton and Bush, once considered the likely nominees, look the best positioned to do that.

The Tribune says is ‘best positioned’ to ‘capture the broad, sensible center’ — Jeb Bush.

Here is the Tribune editorial title >>> Will Democrats and Republicans go off the cliff?

Honestly, I do not think I have seen the Establishment this panicked since 1968. I saw a movie a few years ago, A Very British Coup, it could be our future.

Highlights
Microsoft has been supporting the Clintons years. When Hillary Clinton ran for president in 2008, Microsoft was one of her top campaign contributors: the company’s employees and political action committees donated $184,119.

Microsoft is a regular sponsor of the Clinton Global Initiative, and has donated between $1 million and $5 million to the Clinton Foundation. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which also sponsors CGI events, has donated more than $25 million to the foundation.

Last year, Microsoft gave between $100,000 and $500,000 to the Center for American Progress, the liberal nonprofit founded by John Podesta, Bill Clinton’s former chief of staff and Hillary Clinton’s current campaign manager. The Gates Foundation chipped in between $500,000 and $1 million.

Records show that Microsoft paid Bill Clinton $175,000 for a speech in July 2010, the same time the company was lobbying the agency run by his wife.

Well, we'll see, won't we? Trump has a direct path to 1600 Penn. He knows what he's doing. He's executing flawlessly. He will pull 20% or more of registered Dems just as Reagan did, but for different reasons. Behind the gay screeching, there are millions of middle class, middle of the road Dems who don't say much on message boards but will go out and vote for what they perceive to be real change. They don't share the loudmouth agenda...not even close. They're embarrassed and angry...real, real angry. I know. They will turn out in huge numbers for Trump. Heck, they will vote for Cruz if he gets the nomination and moves to the center like Bill Clinton did from the other side. The smug lefties are walking into a buzzsaw and they're so arrogant that they don't see it. If the evil witch wins, I'm with Bernie. The fix is in. Either way, I see Trump winning. That said, I think he'll be a poor president, but no worse than the community organizer.
