...Engelbrecht said watchers can also call True the Vote's Election Integrity Hotline (855) 585-2022. Or better yet, fill out an incident report at their website. They will forward all actionable reports to local law enforcement immediately. The 2022 TTV tipline goes live in late September.

[PJMedia.com] The lesson of the highly irregular and controversial 2020 election was that the devil is in the election process details. True the Vote (TTV) has learned this lesson well and is working to apply what it has learned to the upcoming midterm elections. TTV founder Catherine Engelbrecht describes the situation as a "fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me" scenario. (Screengrab image)

Preparation will be the key to preventing widespread irregularities and shenanigans from deciding the 2022 midterm elections. On Monday, Engelbrecht gave a webinar called "5 Things You Can Do Now for an Honest Election in November." In the presentation, Engelbrecht spelled out five actions citizens can take now to help make sure their local election officials are conducting competent and fair elections. The full presentation is available here (for Locals subscribers only). However, PJ Media viewed the webinar and summarizes the key points below.

Election rules, unless enforced, are not necessarily going to be observed, said Englebrecht. She said that 2020 was a lawless election that should never have been certified because there were countless breaches of compliance and standards.

Englebrecht explained that election integrity standards have eroded year after year, and we've now reached a point where there's no longer consistent truth from place to place. Nonetheless, rules and state laws matter, and they must be enforced.

Englebrecht cited the 1994 case Roe v. Alabama (no, not that Roe), which was decided by the 11th Circuit and affirmed by the Supreme Court. The case involved the now all-too-familiar scenario where the Republican incumbent was well ahead on Election night but by the following morning, enough absentee ballots had appeared to put the Democrat over the top. Many of the new ballots were not compliant with state law because they weren't in an envelope signed by the voter and either a notary public or two witnesses. The courts ultimately decided that the contested ballots would "dilute the ballot box" and disqualified them.

And so, concluded Englebrecht, when it comes to substandard vote casting, the law is on our side, and the courts have affirmed it. The rules are the rules; either election officials comply fully or the election cannot be certified. But it's crucial to be prepared in case we need to step in and stop the certification of tainted results.

Englebrecht then elaborated on the five things ordinary people can do to help put candidates and political parties in a position to prevail in court when they contest funky elections.

Englebrecht says it's crucial for more Republican voters to get their eyes and hands on the process. There currently isn't parity of party among election workers, and that needs to be addressed.

One way to get involved is to be a poll watcher. This is a great way to observe the process and get your feet wet if you haven't worked an election before. To sign up, reach out to the party or candidate of your choice. States allow candidates to appoint a number of poll watchers in every precinct.

Another option is to be a poll worker. Interested? Go to TrueTheVote.org and click on My State. As a poll worker, you will work for the county and will usually be paid a stipend. Different positions are available. If there are unfilled positions, the county will plug in random people from its list. If there aren't enough volunteers, polling stations will be closed and voters sent to another one... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
