Election Fraud
May 12, 2019 @ 9:30 am - 11:30 am
On Sunday, May 12th, EHST friend and frequent visitor Andrew Silver will be our speaker. He will be discussing election fraud, focusing on electronic voting and voter suppression. His main points are:
- New voter ID laws disfranchise up to 10% of citizens in some states
- Paper ballots are not counted when optical scan machines miss marks made by voters, or break down and are replaced
- Arbitrary purging of voters led to removal of over one million voters from registration rolls without cause in 2016
Andrew Silver is an epidemiologist who has lived 16 years in Thailand. His interest in election fraud followed the 2000 stolen presidential election, after which he co-founded the NC Coalition for Verified Voting. The NCCVV campaigned to introduce and support a bill sponsored by Elli Kinnaird and Verla Insko, the Public Confidence in Elections Act, to end use of unsecured, secretly programed, paperless voting machines. It became North Carolina law in 2005.
