Time to toss the trash (voter rolls)

On March 29, I will be presenting a paper at the 20th International Conference on Cyber Warfare and Security at William and Mary College in Williamsburg, Virginia. My paper is titled System Reliability Analysis: Impact of Structural Anomalies in State Voter Registration Systems. The goal of the paper is to look at problematic voter rolls as an administrative, rather than criminal, problem.

This doesn’t mean I don’t believe crime was involved. From what I’ve seen in New York alone, millions of felonies had to be committed to get the voter rolls into their current state. I believe the same is true of Wisconsin, Georgia, and Arizona.

There has been some push back and excuse-making regarding my “millions of felonies” claim. That’s fine, I am prepared to debate it.

Each fraudulent voter registration constitutes a separate felony under federal law. If 2,000,000 false registrations exist in NY, there are at minimum 2,000,000 distinct felonies committed, regardless of how they might be charged. This minimum count can increase significantly based on how these registrations were created and used. For example, forged signatures (52 U.S.C. § 20511(a)), identity theft, duplicate voting (18 U.S.C. § 601), and fraudulent absentee ballots (carrying penalties up to 5 or even 20 years) each represent additional felonies beyond the initial false registration. While prosecutors typically won't file 2,000,000 separate counts for practical reasons, preferring conspiracy charges or representative counts, the underlying number of criminal acts remains unchanged. The situation becomes more complex when attributing responsibility to organizations rather than individuals, particularly when the fraud occurred through coordinated efforts by multiple actors over extended periods—but this complexity doesn't diminish the count of actual felonies committed.

The critical challenge with election fraud is when officials are involved—they can claim negligence rather than deliberate action. This creates a legal loophole where remedies become administrative rather than criminal. Without establishing mens rea (criminal intent), prosecutors face significant hurdles, effectively allowing those responsible to escape criminal penalties despite the underlying felonies committed.

I believe this explains why some have claimed the approximately 2,000,000 illegal duplicated voter records (clones) identified in New York aren't considered felonies. By law, they absolutely constitute individual felonies. What these commentators actually mean is that prosecutorial discretion, political considerations, and practical constraints would likely prevent these violations from being charged as 2,000,000 separate counts—not that the actions themselves aren't felonious under federal statute.

My technical analysis uncovered compelling evidence of systematic database manipulation across multiple states. In New York alone, I identified 1.47 million excess voter IDs (6.9% of records), with similar patterns in Wisconsin (5.6%), Arizona (8.6%), and Georgia (8.1%). More concerning, I discovered sophisticated algorithms deliberately designed to manipulate voter identification data, creating mathematically predictable relationships between ID numbers that enable covert record tracking. In New York City, 254,713 voter IDs showed 2020 election participation in county records but no corresponding vote in state records—a mathematical impossibility that cannot be explained by normal administrative processes. These findings, consistent across multiple states, point to systematic design flaws rather than mere clerical errors.

In my paper this week, I sidestep questions of responsibility for the numerous flaws in voter rolls across multiple states. Instead, I pose a more fundamental question: Would any administrator trust a system containing this volume of fraudulent or erroneous entries? This straightforward 'fitness for use' assessment reveals why corrupted voter rolls represent a critical problem that mere 'cleaning' cannot solve.

No bank, insurer, or telecom company could legally operate with database error rates comparable to those in our voter rolls. We demand accuracy from private industry yet tolerate systemic flaws in our election infrastructure. Why? Government regulators clearly understand what makes databases unusable for business operations—they enforce these standards rigorously in the private sector. Their failure to apply the same scrutiny to voter rolls suggests deliberate negligence, with enabling voter fraud as the most plausible explanation.

The comprehensive database anomalies and algorithmic manipulation patterns documented in my research reveal that state voter rolls have reached a catastrophic point of failure, analogous to a "totaled" vehicle. Despite varying degrees of compromise across states, the pervasive nature of these irregularities means no current system can be fully trusted. Even potentially clean systems cannot be reliably identified amid the widespread corruption.

I recommend complete replacement: all existing voter registration records and software must be eliminated nationwide and replaced with a single, unified system requiring in-person registration with proper identification. While archiving current records for future research might seem prudent, even this creates unacceptable risk that corrupted data could migrate into the new system, compromising its integrity from inception.
