NEUTERING RED STATE VOTER ID LAWS VIA SSV

​Social Security Voting has many great benefits, not the least of which is effectively neutering Republican red state VOTER ID laws by voting via SSV.

In 2006 Republicans passed the first VOTER ID law that required a voter to obtain a valid ID card or Driver's License in order to cast a vote.​

Of course such rightwing nonsense is tantamount to an unconstitutional poll tax and thus was summarily declared unconstitutional by a federal judge.

​

I remind Democratic Party voters who fell victim to Republican propaganda in support of implementing VOTER ID laws nationwide (such as pro-VOTER ID Democrat Stacy Abrams) that since this country was founded and voting began, NOT ONE VOTER was ever required to present a state-issued ID card or Driver's license; until the 21st century, when Republicans had a sneaking suspicion that implementing VOTER ID laws could cut the minority vote, so Republicans paid for voter studies that indicated that VOTER ID laws could reduce the black vote by as much as 15-20% in some states, due to the high cost of obtaining a certified Birth Certificate for low-income voters; especially those voters who have been voting all their lives without having to produce a state-issued ID card.

​

In 2006 Wisconsin Republicans passed the first VOTER ID law requiring a state-issued ID in order to cast a vote in federal elections in Wisconsin.

​

I conceptualized Social Security voting as a much improved and greatly needed method of safe, secure and efficient voting in the 21st century; and as a means of permanently eliminating all the aggravating issues associated with our current voting system: paper ballots, standing in lines for hours in the sun, rain and snow, red state election officials, red state governor goon squads, conservative harrassment and threatening of federal election workers, armed and dangerous rightwing "election monitors" - the list of pitfalls goes on ad infinitum.​

There's no doubt about it: Social Security Voting can solve a lot more problems than it would create.​

TDP supports Social Security Voting, which would permanently END:​

*rightwing attacks on state election workers,

*red state election manipulations and delays,

*red state governor goon squads,

*standing in line for hours in rain, sunshine and snow,

*lack of voting machines in black districts,

*END paper ballot recounts and nightmares.​

What about passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the Freedom to Vote Act?​

TDP supports the passage of both the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the Freedom to Vote Act.

Unfortunately, Republicans have repeatedly blocked the passage of the John Lewis Voting Rights Act and the Freedom to Vote Act and that's not changing anytime soon.​

Republicans spent millions on national ad campaigns promoting the false virtue of voting for VOTER ID LAWS and many Democrats bought it hook, line and sinker.​

That's another reason why implementing Social Security Voting by Executive Action is essential for the survival of American democracy.​

There's no legitimate or legal reason why a TDP President could not issue an Executive Order implementing SSV in our federal election system - as long as SSV is implemented in accordance with U.S. Constitutional requirements.

Elections/Voting Solutions

Most voters agree that our voting system is an absolute nightmare - especially if you are a non-white who votes in a non-white voting district.​

Red states are notorious for creating voting machine shortages in black voting districts.​

Republican state legislators have passed over 350 unconstitutional red state laws designed to inhibit non-whites from voting and/or reduce the minority vote.​

TDP believes a voter should be able to register to vote and cast a vote on a secure, encrypted U.S. government server.​

Shorten U.S. Election Campaign Season

​​​TDP supports shortening the Congressional and Presidential election campaign seasons to 90 days.​

30 day primaries, 30 day runoffs, 30 day General election.​

American voters donate an average of over two billion dollars between the two parties each U.S. Presidential election cycle.​

American voters want federally-funded U.S. elections instead of giving away two billion dollars in donations every election cycle to Democrat and Republican candidates so they can get paid to entertain voters during a very long and grueling institutionalized election cycle lasting nearly two years.​

Contrary to what you may have heard, one cannot simply decode 256-bit encrypted information on a server.

When hackers break into a system, 99% of the time such breaches occur due to email phishing or other non-encryption related methods.

Bank of America, Wells Fargo and virtually all U.S. financial institutions utilize 256-bit encryption in protecting assets worth hundreds of billions of dollars and securing transactions every second of the night and day.

TDP proposes the U.S. Dept. of Justice and the Federal Election Commission co-ordinate with the Social Security Administration to develop and install a secure voting section on the SSA website, for the purpose of introducing voting in federal elections via secure and encrypted Social Security Administration servers.

TDP proposes the creation and implementation of SSV to permanently solve virtually ALL PAPER BALLOT-RELATED PROBLEMS.​

​​​​What is "Social Security Voting?"

Social Security Voting is a secure online method to cast your vote in a federal election, instead of standing in long lines waiting forever in the heat, freezing cold, heavy rain, wind and snow to vote.

Freedom to Vote Act Protects Black Americans from Jim Crow Voting Laws

​The Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act would restore the fundamental promise of America—the freedom to vote.

How?​

The Freedom to Vote: John R. Lewis Act creates national standards for how states manage elections

in order to safeguard every American citizen’s vote, especially people of color who have been largely affected.​

The Freedom to Vote Act is securing the right to vote for Americans of color by:

• Banning partisan gerrymandering and ensuring fair districts

• Protecting voters from intimidation, harassment and criminalization

• Restoring voting rights to formerly incarcerated people

• Prohibiting witness and notary requirements for vote by mail

• Restricting efforts to challenge eligible voters

• Preventing states from purging eligible voters from the rolls

Who supports the Freedom to Vote Act?

The essential provisions of this historic bill are overwhelmingly supported by millions of Americans from all walks of life.

In fact, 70% of Americans support the bill, both Democrats and Republicans.​

Why?​

The Freedom to Vote Act is our best shot at ensuring all American citizens have the opportunity to vote and that all votes are counted fairly.​

Unfortunately, the Freedom to Vote Act was blocked in the Senate with the filibuster.

​The Freedom to Vote Act could have passed with a filibuster carve-out, but 52 Senators voted against this reform that would have required an open debate on every bill.

The Senate's failure to reform the filibuster allowed Republicans to prevent a final vote on the Freedom to Vote Act, which would have passed with every Democratic Senator's support.

​Now, overcoming barriers to exercising the freedom to vote will be a burden of local organizers and state legislators, many of whom have already begun to ramp up their efforts in response to the Freedom to Vote Act's defeat in the Senate.
