HAND COUNT ELECTIONS AROUND THE WORLD
Examination of Germany’s Election System

Dear John,

A CONVENTIONAL PAPER BALLOT, HAND COUNT ELECTION IS NOT A RADICAL
SOLUTION TO OUR ELECTION CYBERSECURITY CRISIS.  

OVER 24 NATIONS HAND COUNT ELECTIONS including larger nations like
Argentina, Australia, Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland,
Japan, Malaysia, Netherlands, Norway, Russia, Spain, Sweden, and the
United Kingdom.  

JOHN, THESE NATIONS declare voting machines are easily hackable and
pose a limitless, undetectable, and untraceable cybersecurity risk;
all of them.

In America, bi-partisan opponents of voting machine bans claim
conventional hand count elections are unreliable, inaccurate, and/or
too expensive; claims that are demonstrably false.

HOW DID AMERICA CONDUCT ELECTIONS FOR OVER 200 YEARS?

A GERMANY CASE STUDY

GERMANY PILOTED ITS FIRST ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINES, IN COLOGNE IN
1998. By the 2005 general election, nearly 2 million (3%) German
voters were using machines to cast votes.

Voters found the machines to be easy to use and well liked and
election administrators were able to reduce the number of polling
stations and staff in each polling station. _Sound familiar?_ _ _

After the 2005 election, two voters brought a case before the German
Constitutional Court arguing that the use of electronic voting
machines was unconstitutional and that it was possible to hack the
voting machines, thus the results of the 2005 election could not be
trusted.

The German Constitutional Court upheld the argument. The Court noted
elections are constitutionally required to be public in nature and
“THAT ALL ESSENTIAL STEPS OF AN ELECTION ARE SUBJECT TO THE
POSSIBILITY OF PUBLIC SCRUTINY unless other constitutional interests
justify an exception . . . The use of voting machines which
electronically record the voters’ votes and electronically ascertain
the election result only meets the constitutional requirements if the
essential steps of the voting and of the ascertainment of the result
can be examined reliably and without any specialist knowledge of the
subject . . . The very wide-reaching effect of possible errors of the
voting machines or of deliberate electoral fraud make special
precautions necessary in order to safeguard the principle of the
public nature of elections.” 

This decision by the German Constitutional Court, stressing the need
for transparency in the electoral process without specialist technical
knowledge, _effectively ended Germany’s recent use of electronic
voting._  

HOW VOTES ARE CAST AND COUNTED IN GERMANY

In the 2021 Election there were 61,181,072 Registered Voters and
46,854,508 (76.6%) cast a vote. Germany organized 650,000 Election
Workers assigned to 88,000 polling locations. Votes are cast within
the precinct with printed voter rolls, ballots are inserted into a
privacy envelope which the voter drops it into a locked, transparent
ballot box. 

The polling stations open at 8am and close at 6pm including electoral
offices who stop accepting votes cast by post.

Upon closing, eight to ten poll workers divide out the ballot
envelopes which are recounted three times by different people, and
finally once more in total. These results are posted by the polling
station secretary. Counting is conducted until the early morning hours
and preliminary results are posted as early as 5:25 am the next day,
and final results posted within two weeks.      

ARIZONA BATTLEGROUND STATE COMPARISON

In the 2020 election, there were 4,281,301 registered voters and
3,420,759 (79.9%) cast a vote. Arizona organized 7,482 Election
Workers to assist with 1500+ polling locations.

If Arizona adopted Germany’s election model, we would need to raise
the volunteer count from 7,482 to 47,563, 1.4% of the voting
population. 

[German Model Volunteers Needed]

IF A COUNTRY THAT IS 14 TIMES THE SIZE OF ARIZONA, with 14 times the
voter turnout, competently conducts hand count elections and reports
preliminary results by the early morning hours, ARIZONA CAN ACHIEVE
THE SAME RESULTS!

When states contract with 3rd party voting machine vendors, public
scrutiny and reliable examination of voting machine records is
PROHIBITED.  

WHEN DID WE SURRENDER THE PEOPLE’S RIGHT TO A FREE, FAIR, AND
TRANSPARENT ELECTION? NEVER.
