Why do we not value our ballots more? Our ballots are THE most valuable asset in our possession.  Why are our laws not more strict in protecting them?  For example:  Why is a charge of voter fraud in most states a simple misdemenor instead of a felony?  Robbing a place of our fiat currency is an instant felony.  Our fiat currency is transported in armored trucks, but so-called provisional ballots are transported in rented box trucks, car trunks, left behind unsecured in schools, etc. Folks, this crap will continue until WE THE PEOPLE demand more from our governments. It is obvious local election officials will not do enough to protect our ballots.  We need the help of law enforcement to establish and protect the chain of custody.  We need special container made with tracking devices to record the routes of the ballot boxes; we have the technology!  We need verification the ballot boxes are empty upon arriving at the polling station.  There needs to be a controlled number of ballot boxes which need to be verified and assigned to each polling station.  Law enforcement needs to guard these boxes 24/7 until they are unsealed.  Heck, ballot boxes can even have biometric locks on them so only certain people can open them.  We have scanning technology that can read handwriting and record the ballot and tabulate it.  The database can then have random checks performed to look for anomalies such as 50 people living at the same address or comparing names to death records.  We must demand and verify proof of citizenship to gain access to the ballot box.  Voter rolls must be purged annually.  Simple two to three person county election boards do not cut it any longer.  Election officials should no longer be political appointees, but rather a type of law enforcement officer. We need to demand more!
