“The Voter Reference Foundation (VRF) – which is breaking new ground in America providing transparency and accountability to voter rolls by allowing the public to see them – is adding the ability to track absentee ballots in primary and general elections in 2022. Starting this week, the public can go to a VRF portal to track on a daily basis sent and returned absentee ballots in North Carolina, Georgia, and Wisconsin. In coming weeks, Michigan and Nevada will be added.”
“The states operate their primaries in various months ranging from May through August. As it does with the voter rolls, VRF is compiling publicly available information and publishing it in an easy-to-digest format. The portal, which will be updated daily, will be available via the Voter Reference Foundation website. ‘Our mission is to make voter information more accessible to the public. It is the public that bears the cost to collect and maintain this data across the country,’ said VRF Director Gina Swoboda. ‘We are making elections more transparent, piece-by-piece.'” says the VRF.
ProPublica characterizes the VRF as a “Billionaire-Backed Group” formed to enlist “Trump-Supporting Citizens to Hunt for Voter Fraud Using Discredited Techniques” which, while we don’t dispute on a factual basis, kind of misses the now entirely predictable arc of these voter fraud fairy tales. Of course ostensibly real concrete efforts like this sound good on paper and get the fanboys all hot inside their MAGA superhero undies when they’re announced but, assuming it works as intended and are actually accurate, then that does not help further their bullshit narrative about rampant voter fraud. Hell, National Zero literally wrote an editorial spitballing an idea for a system bearing many similarities because some form of real-time transparency is the only way forward.
Trump fanboys do not want this, at all, because if it’s real then the actual information and stats will break the magical ambiguity their narrative relies on. In fact, it’s more likely than not that if this portal does display accurate, real information about ballots requested and returned they’ll think it’s even more “proof” of fraud – and then the Voter Reference Foundation will immediately become traitors running a Deep State psyop. Just ask the CyberNinjas, they’ll tell you.
