The gist of what I’m proposing for a new Federal law is that when reporting Federal election results, all states must fully adhere to standard accounting practices.
The new law can adopt something like the 10 Principles of GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Practices), after tweaking them to be more election-specific.
It says there:
“GAAP compliance makes the financial reporting process transparent and standardizes assumptions, terminology, definitions, and methods. External parties can easily compare financial statements issued by GAAP-compliant entities and safely assume consistency, which allows for quick and accurate cross-company comparisons.”
In other words, such a Federal law would:
“make the federal election reporting process transparent and standardize assumptions, terminology, definitions, and methods. External parties can easily compare election reports issued by different states, and safely assume consistency, which allows for quick and accurate state-to-state comparisons.”
That we have fifty sets of election reporting rules, and zero consistency regarding such profoundly significant matters like transparency, is mind-boggling.
I would propose that the following be incorporated into the Federal Election Transparency Act of 2024 (ETA), for every state:
1 - Reporting of Federal ballot results must fully comply with the ETA.
2 - Each report of Federal ballots must be trackable by a unique UTC code.
3 - All positive Federal ballot reports must consist of just positive numbers from one or more precincts. When more than one precinct is included, the results from each individual precinct will be available for inspection.
4 - All negative Federal ballot reports must consist of just negative numbers from one or more precincts. When more than one precinct is included, the results from each precinct will be available for inspection. For every precinct reporting a negative, there should be a full explanation as to the reason for a negative ballot report, including the specifics of exactly what was corrected and why.
5 - Under no circumstances can positive and negative ballot tallies be combined into one UTC code.
6 - Complete ETA-compliant ballot results for all federal elections must be formally presented to the state legislators at least one (1) week prior to the statutory time for state legislators to certify federal ballot results.
7 - All ETA records must be kept for at least two (2) years.
I had originally suggested that this be made part of the ACE Act, but upon further reflection, this matter warrants its own law. Further, there is nothing “Republican” about wanting standard accounting practices to be used by every state for their election reporting, so this bill should have bipartisan support.
One might ask: why is this needed?
The short answer is that two reports from my team indicate that in 2020, over SEVEN MILLION suspect ballots fell into the category of having little or no transparency (3± million positives and 4± million negatives)! Further, since there is currently no prohibition against state reports combining positive and negative numbers, the actual amounts are likely much higher.
The bottom line is where we compare the data in Table 1 of this Report, plus the data from Page 2 of another Report, to the reported Biden lead for some key swing states. We’ve also listed the Electoral College votes for each state (270 needed to win).
Note 1: The Electoral College votes were: Biden = 306 and Trump = 232.
Note 2: If any three of the above states' Electoral College votes are changed to reflect the public's apparent wishes, the new totals would put Trump in a tie, or over 270.
Note 3: Sources = Ballot Data, Electoral Votes, Ballot Spikes, Negative Ballots.
It should be extremely clear that the Positive Spikes and Negative Ballots are not trivial numbers. For example, in every case for these key swing states, both the 2020 Positive Spikes and the Negative Ballots, far exceed the Presidential vote differential. Yet there is little or no transparency for either of these!
In other words, it is imperative for the Federal Government to require every state to adhere to standard accounting practices in reporting (and keeping track of) federal election ballot results.
