Election Archive Needs Favorable reviews (Have to register).
Here's an opportunity for NEDA (Natl Election Data Archive) to get some money for implementing a way of monitoring national elections, an essential safeguard I think.

This is the email I got and the more people it's reviewed favorably by the greater chance for something to come of it. You do have to join this outlet, however, in order to write a review (tho it's a very simple process).

We've been working on the new Ohio exit poll analysis paper.

Please help us possibly raise $100,000 by giving a favorable review to our project proposal and asking all your friends to do likewise:

Elections are susceptible to tampering because no independent audits are performed to check vote count accuracy. Limited election data indicate vote miscounts large enough to alter outcomes. Today insiders could pad votes for one candidate in one vote type and subtract votes for a different candidate in another vote type and hide the evidence because every county adds the counts together before public release.

$100,000 could pay for the programmers to build a system to publicly
display detailed election data from the over 3300 county election
offices. This system would allow the public to detect probable vote
miscounts in time to ensure that duly elected candidates are sworn into office. Every State’s freedom of information act gives us legal rights to this data. Many election activist groups have volunteers each state to collect and upload the data.

Lives and economies depend deeply on American democracy. Winning
candidates control budgets and issues worth millions at the county level to trillions at the federal level. Accurate vote counts are critical to a healthy U.S. and world economy.

Thank you everyone.

Best Regards,

Kathy Dopp
