I just got a text to my personal number, addressed to my son (who is voting age), stating that public records show he is not registered at his current address. This came from "Ann" at "Powered by People" and stated that they are working to "Stop Trump in Texas" and that a voter registration form was recently mailed to our home.

1 - It came to my number, not my son's (though I pay the bill)
2 - We sold our home in Texas three years ago and now live in Oregon.

I know there is no way to find out definitively, but I will be pissed if people are registering under our names and voting for the current asshat that sits in the Oval Office.

I responded back but there has been no response, but the return number for "Ann" is 281-406-3269.

Is there a way to find out who it is actually registered to?

Powered by people is one of the leftist activist groups that is taking laundered money from voter registration sources and trying to register new voters more likely to vote Democrat. The source of a portion of the funds ultimately have a government source, per some digging I have seen.

Same here. I've been in Colorado 4+ years and voted here multiple times, but still have the same San Antonio-area code phone number I've had since 2000.

Someone from Powered by People contacted me, and I told them Trump is Powered by People, rather than the liberal elites in Hollywood, big business, and academia, and I'm voting for him.

They responded a day later and I blocked them. Not sure the name or number though.

I've been pretty public about the move to Oregon a few years ago (the "does check out option" and also pretty public about the my conservative mindset (the "doesn't check out" option)

Username reflects more on my line of work rather than political beliefs, it didn't really raise flags when I created it almost 20 years ago, lol.

Thanks hawg.

My current status is "SUSPENSE"

Quote:

A Voter Status of "Suspense" means that the registrar is not certain of your residential address. A request to confirm or update your information was mailed to you. A voter whose status is on suspense is eligible to vote in an election provided that the voter completes a Statement of Residence either when voting by mail or at the polls prior to voting (within the same county as the voter's current registration) or (if the voter has moved to a new county) completes a Limited Ballot application during Early Voting at the main early voting polling place.

I wonder how easy it is for someone to fill out the form and vote under my name? It mentions nothing of proving ID, just the residence statement.

Is there a way to see how you voted in an election? I know it sounds crazy but I don't put anything past the progs, especially with all these "issues, programming access" that these voting machines have. It wouldn't surprise me at all if people were able to check how they voted, only to find out their vote changed.

That I am not sure of other than which primary you may have voted in. But even that not sure how they would trace that in Texas with paper ballots.

Now on electronic voting machines with voter check-in and ballot request, which primary would be recorded.

I'd like something individual voters could use to check and see who their vote was recorded for the day after the election, like an individual checks and balances of the voting process. Imagine the uproar if you voted for Trump on election day, but went to a website the next day only to discover your vote was changed to Biden. You'd never know it because you double checked your ballot before you submitted it. If they have programming access, it seems like it'd be pretty easy to just switch a few votes. I defer to you because you are a lot more familiar with these damn machines.

I texted back:

"Thank you for reminding me. I'm definitely going to register. And then vote for Trump. You really watch the clips of our current president and don't see increased sings of dementia or at least substantially reduced cognizance?".

They never replied nor contacted me since.

I routinely reply that they should wait until rush hour in Houston and then go see how good they are at Frogger.

No reply unfortunately.

There has been a mixed answer as to how individuals voted. Cast Vote Records give total numbers for the selected races. BUT other experts have wondered whether some bar codes on BMD printed ballots have a voter id component that would be traceable? The same may also be true for mail in ballots created by an outside vendor such as Runbeck. Runbeck claims that the voter information barcode is only on the otuside envelope and not the ballot itself so once those are separated there is not supposed to be a way to connect them again.

Really wish I could get a more definitive answer for you and it would seem that such info would be included during signatre verification but it isn't.

I've had the same question before. Since Oregon is all mail in/drop off ballots I am able to verify that my ballot has been received, but there is no way to verify if it was recorded acccurately.

Maricopa County has an online dashboard for currently registered voters, showing some of this. Can opt in to receive notifications for events such as "we've received your ballot" and "your ballot was counted" etc. Almost like tracking an online order:

"Order Received" --> "Preparing for Shipment" --> "Order Delivered".

But of course, such a dashboard is read-only and developers could always hide "Changed Your Vote to The Other Guy" from appearing on screen.

And ultimately that is all Runbeck generated. So it does raise the question again of how do they know a voter's ballot has been counted if the ballot is anonymous once separated from the envelope?

The junk folder of an old email address I haven't used in about two decades, but can still check, is littered with emails from democrat politicians thanking me for my support and asking me to help now because I'm needed more than ever to stop Trump.

Does anyone know if there's a way to trace entities that are making small dollar dark money contributions through fraudulently scammed email addresses? Or at least find any past fraudulent contributions and report them?

I got the same text, moved out of state 15 years ago, still have my TX number. Also worried about someone from one of those groups registering my name over there and somehow casting a vote for the left in TX elections this fall.

none. Especially using the old email address from high school & college days.

So they have all that, but don't have a way to see who your vote was counted for? This would be a simple easy way to bring a little bit of voter confidence back to the process. All States should be required to provide a site/portal that voters can access the day after the election.

How would you verify that the one inquiring is the actual voter and only the actual voter? The secrecy of the ballot is a pretty big concern and right.

Odds are highly likely to be fat and ugly with green hair, gauged ears and a hoop in her big ass nose. Unless you're into that kind of thing.

But if were "proprietary" from an electronic voting system company? Would YOU trust the accuracy of that?

I would not. Not anymore.

No, I wouldn't trust them. But if votes are being switched then voters could immediately file a lawsuit and I believe they'd have standing, but I'm not an attorney.

Got curious and took a quick look for what it's worth.

I think this portal/app is linked to and managed by the County Recorder, whose underlying data is sourced from Runbeck, yes. The notification platform (portion of the app) is See click fix:

"Maricopa County is using SeeClickFix, an online and mobile service request system, to power its mobile app Notify MCDOT and reporting forms. SeeClickFix is an application that allows Maricopa County residents to report non-emergency roadway related issues. SeeClickFix can be used via the Web on a desktop computer, laptop, mobile phone, or tablet. SeeClickFix is a public application."

The online web portal portion you sign in with Name, DOB, House # and Social.

https://elections.maricopa.gov/voting/track-your-ballot.html

Also FYI - Here are the events as sent to a voter via text notification over the span of an election cycle starting with a text sent out when your ballot is created at Runbeck:

Hello from Maricopa County Elections.
Election Day is 11-08-2022.
Your ballot is being prepared. It will mail on 10-12-2022.

Hello from Maricopa County Elections.
Election Day is 11-08-2022.
Your ballot was mailed.

Hello from Maricopa County Elections.
Election Day is 11-08-2022.
We received your ballot.

Hello from Maricopa County Elections.
Election Day is 11-08-2022.
Your signature has been verified. Your ballot was counted.

Ann contacted me as well.

I replied with a meme but I don't think a human reads the responses.

Most of my memes would get me banned on texags.

Alright. So this is super interesting and disturbing at the same time. I moved to Florida in 2011. When I checked out my Texas voting status using the last address I had in Texas, it gives me a status of "ACTIVE"!



How can that be? I'm registered to vote in Florida, and I've voted in every election since I became eligible after moving here.

What does one do to ensure no one in Texas is voting fraudulently with my identity?
