Python Script for Challenging Invalid Voter Registrations
Help with cleaning up the voter rolls in your district
The folks at TrueTheVote.org (the organization that used cellphone geotracking to expose widespread voter fraud during the 2020 election) put together a database to expose huge numbers of invalid voter registrations across the country. Most of these invalid registrations are due to the voter having moved out of their original voting district/county, but not removed by the responsible election board. While this seems pretty innocuous (and was, in earlier, less troubled times), this now represents a huge opportunity for fraud in the upcoming 2024 election.
Although the TTV folks have the data, they can't do much about it without the help of concerned citizens who actually vote in those regions because local laws require that any voter challenge be raised by a voting citizen in that particular region.
So, TTV generated a website called 'IV3' which allows concerned citizens from anywhere in the U.S. to create an account and query the IV3 database for problematic voter registration records for their voting district/county. I signed up to help validate voter rolls in Franklin County, Ohio where I live and vote. I quickly got the hang of challenging individual voters, but found that delays on the IV3 website meant that I had to wait sometimes as much as 2 minutes for a new name to be displayed, so I decided to see if my Python skills were up to the challenge of automating the process of waiting for a new name and then clicking on the appropriate buttons. After the usual number of mistakes and back-tracking I had a working script that accepts an argument denoting the number of records to challenge. If you would like to use this script in combination with the IV3 site, head on over to my blog site ‘Paynters Palace’ to read all the details.
