Why We Need Photo ID To Vote

Written By:  Andrew Eide

Many people, mostly Liberals and Democrats, want people to be able to vote in elections without having to show a photo ID to prove they are who they claim they are in order to vote.

Here in the State of Georgia when you register to vote you have to include your Georgia Drivers License number as part of the registration process. When you show up to vote you have to show the poll workers your Georgia Drivers License. They scan the Georgia Drivers License, as it has a bar code on it, and their system, which is connected to both the State of Georgia Secretary of State’s Voter Registration system, and the Georgia Department of Driver Services, compares the information scanned from your Georgia Drivers License against the voter registration information at both the Secretary of State’s office and in our case the Gwinnett County Registrar of Voters. If all information matches you are allowed to vote. If not you can ask for a Provisional Ballot and if after they can verify your information your votes from your Provisional Ballot will be counted.

Liberals and Democrats use the stupid excuse that requiring a Photo ID to vote discriminates against Blacks. This is a worn-out stupid racially-biased argument. Most States provide FREE photo ID at the Department of Motor Vehicles to those who can show they are truly poor and cannot afford $10 for a photo ID from the State.

However these same people who claim they, and Blacks, cannot afford $10 to purchase a State issued Photo ID at the DMV are the same people who can, though, afford $100 for a pair of sneakers, $500 for a cell phone, and several hundreds of dollars for clothing. It has nothing to do with discrimination or the ability to pay for a Photo ID. Is comes down to how they prioritize their spending.

Without Voter ID in place anyone can walk up, state their name, and vote without ever having to prove they are who they claim they are. Here is why I have a problem with this.

Let’s say your name is Randy Johnson and you live at 123 Smith Street in Atlanta, Georgia. What is your neighbor is mad at you for some reason. He walks into the polling place early in the morning and he states “My name is Randy Johnson and I live at 123 Smith Street in Atlanta, Georgia.” The voting people give him a ballot and he votes in your name. All he has to do is sign a sheet stating the information he gave was truthful under penalty of Perjury. Well, gee, how can they find this man and convict him of fraud when they don’t even know who he is?

If you are an activist against requiring Voter ID to prove who you are when you vote how would you feel if you walk into the polling place only to be told you are not allowed to vote as you already voted earlier in the day. Even though you protest you will only be allowed to cast a Provisional Ballot until the investigation on your original Ballot is completed which could take weeks or months. Your Provisional Ballot may never be counted if they cannot prove someone faked being you to vote in your name.

Remember if your State or polling place required a Photo ID to prove who the person is before they vote then nobody...nobody...NOBODY...can walk up and state your name and address and vote as you because if they cannot provide a Photo ID they will be turned away from the polling place and denied an opportunity to cast a vote.

Voter ID protects YOU my friend. It does NOT discriminate against anyone.

Does Your Vote Really Count

Written By:  Andrew Eide

I do not believe that all votes cast in every election are counted. I also believe in many elections there are lots of illegal votes consisting of either non-United States Citizens voting or legal voters voting more than once under different variations of their names.

I will give you two examples. One is from Orange County California and the other is from California when it comes to counting Absentee Ballots.

I forgot the year this happened but the Incumbent United States Congressman representing Orange County was Robert Dornin a Republican. He was challenged by Loretta Sanchez, a Democrat, for his United States Senate Seat. After the election Dornin filed a protest stating he believes thousands of illegal aliens voted for Sanchez.

When the investigation was run by both the Registrar of Voters of Orange County and the Secretary of State of California they found that Sanchez had over 5,000 illegal votes with most of them cast by illegal aliens who are not legally authorized to vote. Authorities ordered another election between Dornin and Sanchez.

In this second election Dornin again demanded an investigation. This time the Registrar of Voters and the Secretary of State found that Sanchez had 1,200 illegal votes. They determined, though, that when those 1,200 illegal votes were removed from her vote total she was still around 500 votes ahead of Dornin so they gave the election to Sanchez to become United States Congressman for Orange County.

In my opinion if you have any illegal votes that should totally invalidate your candidacy and you should be kicked out of the race.

The second incident involves Absentee Ballots. In the State of California the Absentee Ballots favor Republicans over Democrats of a margin of around 70 percent to 30 percent. This means if you have one million Absentee Ballots you would end up, after counting them, around 700,000 votes for the Republican and 300,000 for the Democrat. However I have heard from very reliable sources that they place all Absentee Ballots into a secure warehouse and they only count them if an election is very close. If the election is classified as a wide margin they will not count the Absentee Ballots and then destroy them, uncounted, after the election has been officially declared decided.

When my friend, Matt Fong, rang for the United States Senate seat in California against Barbara Boxer. When all the regular votes were cast Barbara Boxer was declared the winner by around 100,000 votes.

Say there are one million Absentee Ballots and let’s say that all of them are counted (which they were never counted in this election between Boxer and Fong). Considering the 70-30 ratio of Absentee Ballots favoring Republicans, let’s assume that Matt Fong would have received 500,000 votes from the Absentee Ballots and Boxer would have received 200,000. Since Matt Fong was behind in regular votes by 100,000 if you were to add the 200,000 to Boxer’s vote count and 500,000 to Fong’s vote count, that would have placed Matt Fong with 200,000 more votes than Boxer and he should have won the election for United States Senate in California.

However due to the State of California never counting Absentee Ballots unless an election is very close Matt Fong was cheated out of a victory to become United States Senator for the State of California.

Never Trust the News

Written By:  Andrew Eide

I worked as a Journalist while serving in the United States Navy. The first things they teach you as a Journalist is to only report verified facts and keep your personal opinion out of the articles you write or present on television. Too bad the majority of news agencies don’t follow the main rules of Journalism.

Although all news agencies report unverified facts, or make stuff up, the majority of those news agencies are Liberal. This includes ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and many others. I will admit that Fox News, a Conservative news outlet, has on numerous occasions presented unverified facts or made up a news story, so Conservative news outlets are not exempt from creating and presenting fake news.

Now I will give you information that is currently considered to be verified facts. Anything mentioned in a news article or broadcast that contains anything that is not verified facts is classified as “fake” news.

Our verified facts are:  Andrew came home from a shopping trip to Kroger today and when he got home he found his wife, daughter, and mother in-law, dead and lying in a pool of blood in the living room. Police are conducting an investigation, they have no suspects, and they do not have anyone in custody.

There are three ways a Journalist or news organization can present this information. ONE is to state only verified facts and to keep opinions out of it. TWO is to report verified facts but throw an opinion in. THREE is to outright lie and make stuff up to make a sensational story even though it is false. Ready? Let’s do this!

ONE – REPORT ONLY VERIFIED FACTS

“Andrew came home from a shopping trip to Kroger today and when he arrived home he found his wife, daughter, and mother in-law dead and lying in a pool of blood in the living room. Police state they don’t have anyone in custody and they have no suspects at this time. We will report more facts as we receive them.”

TWO – REPORT VERIFIED FACTS BUT ALSO THROW IN UNVERIFIED INFORMATION AND YOUR OPINIONS

“Andrew came home from a shopping trip to Kroger today and when he arrived home he found his wife, daughter, and mother in-law dead and lying in a pool of blood in the living room. Police state they don’t have anyone in custody and they have no suspects at this time. You want to know what I think? I believe Andrew murdered his family, drove to Kroger to shop as an alibi, then came home to report his family is dead.”

THREE – IGNORE THE FACTS AND TOTALLY MAKE UP A FAKE STORY

“Andrew returned home from a shopping trip to Kroger and murdered his family. More details later.”

If you were the person in this story who found their family dead when you returned home would you want only verified facts presented, or would you like the facts presented with the Journalist insinuating you killed your family, or would you want the third situation where they flat-out lied about you?

Of course you would want the first scenario where only verified facts are presented. Anything else is “fake” news. Never trust what you hear or read in the news. When you hear or read something research of at least six other sources before you come to a conclusion. If the majority of the additional sources coincide with the original story then you can consider the story to be factual. If the majority of the additional sources contradict the original story then you can consider the original story to be “fake” news.

Polls and Statistics

Written By:  Andrew Eide

I’m here to tell you not to trust what the news organizations give you as polling data and for sure you cannot trust the statistics you see or hear. I served as a Statistician for one year at General Dynamics Corporation in New London, Connecticut from 1981 to 1982. I assure you I can take raw statistical data and make it state whatever you want to make it state so I know statistics are tweaked to make them say what the organization, person, news agency, or politician wants them to say.

Why would you not trust polling data especially when they conduct exit polls when you leave the voting place? Simply put the people running the polls and asking the question skew the data heavily to promote their candidate of political party. I’ve had times when I voted and on my way out someone doing polling asked me for my opinion. They would ask me who I voted for and when I told them the name of the politician, who happened to be a Republican, they refused to tally my vote. Therefore if they ask 100 people and 45 state they voted for the Republican candidate, but their vote wasn’t counted, then instead of claiming the Democrat had a 55 percent to 45 percent advantage, or only 10 percent, they would take the 55 votes for Democrats and maybe count only 10 of the Republican responses. When you divide 55 by 65 (because the poll taker refused to count the other 35 Republican responses) you now come up with them claiming their Democrat candidate has an 85 percent to 15 percent advantage over the Republican. See how, if they don’t take the raw data and only give you statics based on the raw data, that the results are incorrect and skewed?

When I worked as a Statistician my job was to pull completed welding job orders and then compare the work reported as completed against what the blueprint called for. Anything less than what the blueprint called for was an error.

At the end of the week my raw data of comparing completed work orders against what the blueprints required came to 11 percent. My supervisor, the Director for the Quality Assurance Engineering Department, told me that having an error rate of 11 percent isn’t enough to justify the existence of the Quality Assurance Engineering Department since the work is being done with a very low error rate. My supervisor then told me to factor the results in some other way to see what I come up with.

Since the welds I reviewed on the completed work orders came in various requirements, such as a well all-around, a weld half way around, a weld on one side only, and depth and width of welds from one-eighth inch to one-half inch I broke down the wells by size and how far around the object they were required to go.

Using the exact same raw data from errors made in the welding, but broken down into different categories based on type of weld and the size, I came out with error rates in each category which ran from 11 percent to 60 percent with an overall error rate of around 35 percent which justified the existence of the Quality Assurance Engineering Department. How in the world did I take raw data that gave an 11 percent error rate and make it come out to an average error rate of 35 percent? Not magic...just tweaking the numbers.

When you vote always remember the exit polling data is skewed, mostly by Liberals and Democrats, to try to get people to think their candidate is winning when, in fact, they are not.
