Morality Over Monarchy Root Out Corruption Priorities
Many people vote for a politician because they like them in a personal way. They are charismatic, good looking, or have a way with words. I wonāt lay claim to any of those as we need to focus on what actually matters. We are looking for someone to govern and to pass laws for our state. this is a job interview! The artificial doesnāt matterā¦it is the rubber hitting the road, the proof in the pudding, the getting down to business is what we should be looking for.
Iāve always taken a lot of time researching candidates to see what they actually stand for unfortunately, most of them just point to their party and say, āYeah, what he saidā. However, in reality when push comes to shove, they lean toward something else and likely something you didnāt expect. That is why I am going to give you my list of priorities and what I will focus on. I will focus on my top three priorities and will accomplish them any way I can ethically complete them. If Iām able to complete my first three priorities then I wonāt run for a second term, if not, Iāll go for two but no more!
I want to be as clear as I possibly can be. Which is why I have developed this list so everyone will know where Iām at on the agenda. With some of these items I will be extremely ridged with the order and the content and others the order and content wonāt matter as much. I will provide a concrete idea and some elements to go along with it but I donāt claim to know it all (I did when I was fourteen but I guess age makes you dumber) so input from your legislators will be vital in many cases. I will do my best to define and follow this but like the route we take to a destination there may be construction, detours, and the likeā¦that being said, I will do my level best.
Priority #1ā Free Agency and Liberty
Ā One of the most important things we do with government is elect our officials and we trust that the process is done competently, we have misplaced our trust. If we want to ensure our free agency remains intact, we have to make certain our voting system will warrant the least number of errors.
With that in mind, Iām running as a WRITE-IN candidate, yes you heard it right, WRITE-IN. āMatt Field, thatās crazy! No one wins a write-in candidacy!ā Well, I wouldnāt say āno oneā but yes, it is quite slim. I am doing it for a very specific purpose. Doing a write-in vote forces the following:
ā¢Ā People have to actually know my name because they literally have to write it in. They canāt look to the little letter next to my name to determine if I am a worthy party member. Which is perfect, because I donāt want a passive vote. I need you behind me!
ā¢Ā It forces additional security measures. Every write-in vote has to be reviewed to make sure the voterās intention is respected.
ā¢Ā It also helps prevent fraud, in that, the competent teller can call into question those that have rewritten the name over and over on multiple ballots.
Ā·ā¢That being said, be sure you write M-A-T-T F-I-E-L-D as clearly as you can.
The 2022 election didnāt have any controversial figures on the ballot like Donald Trump so I would estimate the potential for election fraud would be a bit lower and yet they have several alarming issues with the voting system. If you were coerced into believing the narrative that the 2020 election was the freest and fairest election ever then you may want to review chapter 7 in my book Living the Fable Tale: āThe Emperorās New Clothesā (which is free to listen or read on my website) where I find, among other things, through official government websites and reports that five states had recorded more than 100% of registered votersā votesā¦which, of course, is impossible.
These are the key findings from the report on the 2022 Utah election:
Priority #2 Mistakes within the voter registration database highlight opportunities for increased oversight.
This point made me audibly laugh or as the kids say ālolā! Iām glad they see āopportunities for increased oversightā. This is basically saying that
(1) There are mistakes within the voter registration database and
Ā (2) They are significant enough that they recommend the need for additional oversight.
The voterās database is critical in every state but especially in Utah. How do we receive our ballots? Yup, the mail. In 2022 and 2023 the US Census Bureau said Utah had about 148,000 new residents move-in. Not to mention, the average person in America moves 11.7 times in their lifetime, people donāt live forever and must die, I once heard a lot of people get married in Utah, oh and has anyone noticed a lot of building recently? The idea that the government, historically the most inefficient institutions ever due to lack of competition, will manage to mail every voter their ballot without issue is laughable. In fact, the report itself say, āOur audit found that these ongoing tasks [referring to updating voter rolls] are done inconsistently from county to countyā. There are innumerable scenarios that they would have to stay on top of and it just isnāt possible.
3.1 Canvass ballot totals from Utahās 2022 primary election did not match those recorded in the central voter database.
This is a big problemā¦do you know what this means? It means the vote you intended doesnāt match what was actually counted. They also counted more votes than were processed. In 13 counties they counted 1031 more ballots than were processed (pg. 26). If that error holds consistent across all 29 counties, then we would have 3093 additional votes that donāt exist. It could be enough to elect the wrong person depending on the office sought.
3.2 Some countiesā chain-of-custody practices make it difficult to account for all ballots.
If you have ever watched a legal drama, youāll know that people have avoided a murder conviction because certain evidence had left the chain of custody and was thus made inadmissible. Many of our votes are leaving the chain of custody during which anything can happen.
4.1 Utah lacks clear legal standards for election signature verification
This is a common problem throughout the country. Having a computer system to verify signatures electronically is expensive and unnecessary and as has already been discussed, difficult to maintain. The solution is so simple and it is silly that anyone should oppose it. We must vote in person. (https://le.utah.gov/interim/2023/pdf/00001111.pdf)
