According to previous statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau website, in 2019, Georgia’s population is 10,617,423.
According to data from the DataUSA.io website, US citizens in Georgia represent approximately 94.4% of the total population, which is approximately 10.2 million (10,022,847). (See website for details: https://datausa.io/profile/geo/georgia/#demographics)
Looking back at the above figure, the proportion of the population under the age of 18 is 23.6%, which means that 76.4% of the population of Qiaozhou is over 18 years old, so the number of citizens adults is approximately 7,657,000 (7,657,455). (See website for details: https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/GA/PST045219)
There are 7,665,238 rows of voter records in Joe State’s data set. In other words, the number of voters exceeds the number of adult citizens in Georgia.
You should know that the Georgia database is not like Wisconsin where you change the name and address and add a voter number to the database.
Georgia has a number per person. 100.1% of adults are voters, an oddly high percentage! This at least means that the state automatically registers as a voter as long as you are an adult. Although the state government stipulates that voters must apply on their own, the database actually counts 100% of all adults as voters! Otherwise, there is no way to explain how the 7,665,238 rows of voter records were formed.
Among them, 7,276,062 are active voters, which represents 95% of the adult citizen population. It is quite rare that 95% of adults in a state are active voters.
Then I list the population, registered voters, and active voters according to counties, and you can see which counties have the most unreasonable number of active voters (list the least reasonable first, pay attention to the number of adult citizens in the table ( Adult citizens)) Calculated using the proportion of “Population X 94.4% X 76.4%”):
Such a database is unreliable and unusable.
No identity verification or signature verification required
Give an example to illustrate the corruption of this database. At the Georgia hearing on December 3, a senior girl named Grace shared her experience of going to a polling place to vote. Polling station staff told him that the records showed that he had successfully voted by mail. She denied voting, signed the affidavit, asked to vote on the spot, and ultimately voted successfully.
Who has stolen your personal information and successfully cast a mail ballot? She asked the state government to investigate. More than a month passed without any investigation results, so he went to the hearing and reported the matter.
This actually tells us that this database contains a lot of information about the voters, once they don’t participate in a certain vote, someone who can control the election can vote for them at any time.
Another problem is mailed ballots, 99.99% of mailed ballots do not require identity verification.
To vote at a polling station in Georgia, you must show your identification. But the ballot papers sent by mail are basically not used. (Reference website: https://www.voteriders.org/states/georgia/)
The mail ballot data set has an attribute called “Identification Required.” If it is marked “NO”, it means that the certificate is not required. The ratio is 99.991%. Only 0.009% of emails require a certificate, which is marked “YES”.
Ballots mailed actually require signatures, but it is said that many mailed ballots did not have their signatures verified this time. If you don’t even need to verify your signature, choosing Qiaozhou will be a personal entertainment game. Whoever controls the election committee, gets personal information and unsent ballots, can win!
The aforementioned Grace lives in Fulton County (Fulton County), the author also paid attention to the situation in this county. There are 840,000 registered voters (849,744). However, the data record of the ballots sent by mail shows that two hundred ten thousand people (210,781) of them voted successfully by mail.
How many people actually voted by mailing ballots? How many people, like Grace, have earned the right to vote?
There is another problem, which can also be seen in the mailed ballot data set (the following figures are all from the Georgia voter database).
The dataset I downloaded includes 4,505,788 rows of mailed vote records. After doing some research, I found that they fall into two main types: mail-in ballots and early voting (there are less than 1% of military electronic ballots), and these ballot records only correspond to 4,195,388 voters. You can see that some voters have received them for various reasons. More than one postal ballot.
For example, the voter with the following number “00000101” has received three ballots. The first comment indicated that the mail was damaged (Damaged ballot), so they did not accept it; the second time it was said to be invalid (SPOILED, which includes staining, filling Error, omission, etc.); finally accepted a third time (ballot status changed to A).
Ballot numbers indicated that there were three ballots mailed and the third was finally accepted. This voter insisted on mailing the ballots, but this was considered normal procedure.
However, some are abnormal: the author found 23 cases whose votes were repeatedly swept, and some were even repeatedly sent and accepted. The different voters are then separated by flashing horizontal lines. And choose some examples to help readers interpret your meaning.
The voter number 01743398 on lines 2 and 3 appears to have been sent on September 18 and October 9 respectively, with the same ballot number (00385), and all were scanned and accepted by the system.
Voters numbered 02063623 on lines 5-7, received the mailed ballot on September 18, but stopped mailing it and came to the voting table with number 044432 to vote on October 15, but scanned two ballot numbers . (02681 and 02687).
Voters numbered 02666680 in rows 9-11 are similar, they arrived at polling station number 060694 to vote on October 23 and scanned two ballots (06677 and 07146).
Voter number 02503470 on lines 23 and 24 returned a ballot number 01018, which was scanned on October 26, but had personally arrived at polling station number 060804 on October 16 before it was sent. Get a ticket number 03483.
Voter number 04687367 on lines 37-39, the polling place sent three ballots, one of which was deemed undeliverable, and the other two were scanned on October 28. The ballot numbers were 00235 and 00628 respectively.
Voters numbered 05997767 on lines 47 and 48 went to the electoral college numbered 060702 on October 13 and 18, respectively, and scanned the ballots numbered 03155 and 02835.
Voter number 12788544 on lines 78 and 79, sent a ballot 00341, which was received on November 1, but had personally come to the voting station with number 075034 on October 29 and was scanned on ballot number 13923. .
Of these 23 cases, Georgia can be judged to also lack an effective mechanism to prevent repeated scanning of a duplicate ballot or ballots, or even a mechanism to prevent repeated ballot mailing. This will be the biggest problem in the electoral database.
Are there common problems in the database? Do changing states jointly control state elections?
Here also talk about the source of this postal voting dataset.
The author downloaded a data set of mailed ballots for this general election available online in Georgia. (URL: https://elections.sos.ga.gov/Elections/voterabsenteefile.do)
Here’s a reminder that the author received the ballot data sets mailed on November 9, November 13, and November 16, all for free. But on November 21, when I went to download again, I found that the contents of the dataset had turned into a row of meaningless numbers. I tried it a few more times, and it was still the same on December 2nd.
November 21 is the day Pennsylvania no longer allows people to download ballots by mail.
In view of the fact that many of the strange events of this general election occurred simultaneously in several states on the same day, the author believes that the problems in the transition state database are common, the management model is common, and the communication between administrators is close. Perhaps his objective is also the same: to control the state elections.
135 elders about 200 voted?
Finally, let’s go back to the old question: are there voters who are too old?
Because the Georgia voter database does not list birthdays, only the year of birth, it can only be compared to the 1904 year of birth. Georgia has 135 people who were born between 1800 and 1902 voted this time, out of 220 Va from age to 118 years.
It is said that Georgia now wants to verify the signatures. That database exists, and there will be injustices after checking it twice.
Georgia will also hold senatorial elections after January. It is not fair to use such a database unless the database is cleared and the ballots sent by mail are no longer used. Instead, the vouchers are used to vote on the spot.
