"32 Full Voting Rights"
[Up dated:... April 28, 2019]
The casting and counting of our votes is uncertain because
we do not have our 32 Full Voting Rights.
As you know our country is 242 years old and no voter
in any of our 50 states has their "32 FULL Voting Rights".
History:
(1) Men were given some undefined voting rights since
the founding of our country... but, full voting rights
were not defined.
(2) After civil war the US constitution was updated
by addition of the 15th amendment...the right of
citizens to vote shall not be denied or abridged on
account of race, color, or previous condition of
servitude. .... but, full voting rights were not defined.
(3) In 1920 it was decided to let women vote... but,
full voting rights were not granted nor defined.
(4) In 1965 the Voting Rights Act (VRA) was enacted to
purportedly provide voting rights to many minority
folks... but, only about 5 of the 32 full voting rights
are barely mentioned in the VRA.
(5) Today the average voter knows of 4 of the 32 full
voting rights:
1) register to vote...
2) get ballot on election day...
3) mark ballot in secret (in a booth, etc)...
4) place ballot in ballot box or voting machine..
What are the "32 FULL Voting Rights"....?
Here is a list of the many components/rights of
each individual's "Full Voting Rights":
" FULL VOTING RIGHTS "
1) Districts of equal number of electors.
An elector is a US citizen age 18 and up whose
voting rights has not been suspended.
2) Registration by US citizens only, age 18 and up
(Note: the citizen has the right to register
or not to register ... no one shall be allowed
to 'automatically' register any voter).
3) Registration list 100% open to public view on-line.
4) There shall be equal requirements for placing
candidates name on the ballot by the individual

that is the government will not conduct primaries,
run-off elections, top two elections, rank choice, etc,
other than the general election itself. Government may
hold special election to fill vacancies in public office
as may be required. The winner of each race is the
person who receives the most votes cast. A tie shall
be resolved by a Verify hand count and if this count
results into a tie, the tie can be resolved by "flip of coin"
or other non-skilled chance process. All candidates
shall be given one line under his/her name to place
their party affiliation or short message/slogan. All
elections for offices (fed, state, local) shall be based
on one person per district...there shall be no two or
more persons at-large type districts.
5) Equal requirements for placing questions on ballot.
6) All write-in-votes to be honored, counted (and not
bound to a gov pre-ordained list). (If write-in receives
most/sufficient votes, he/she can , if a qualified

15) Precinct workers shall be volunteered and/or
drafted(similar to jury duty). Workers shall be voters.
16) Test/Seal voting machines (if used) shall be open
to public observation.
......(ELECTION DAY):
17) Allow qualified electors/voters access to
polling place and check-in.
18) Allow qualified electors/voters to receive a
paper ballot.
19) Allow voter to mark their ballot in secret in
a 'closed' booth. .... This is the ONLY 'step'
closed to public view. All other rights/steps

......(ELECTION CONTEST):
32) Any elector/voter/candidate/official is allow to
contest an election by bringing their case to a court;
and their cost shall be refunded/covered if and to
degree of win.
Notes:
1. These Rights should be spelled out in our
constitutions (fed, states) and in our election
laws (fed, state, local).
2. In right # 27 the phrase "error rate" means the error
rate, expressed in percentage that is indicated in the
Verification Report (right #24) or the historical
accumulative average which ever is greater.
3. In right # 29 phrase "error rate"...same as note 2.
4. In right # 29 the word "margin" means the gap between
the two positions being requested of a recount expressed
in percentage.
5. When the "32 Full Voting Rights" are in place
two good things will occur. .... (1) All political
parties, campaigns, individuals, etc can promote their
choices on the ballot without interference from government
(fed, state, local). ... And, (2) all voters will have
an election system that honors their "32 Full Voting
Rights" with respect from government, political
parties, campaigns, candidates, individuals, etc.
Thanks and Good Luck.
