Abundant Life Amendment ™ Article – 4

Presidential Election Reform Act

 

PART – 1   Upon acceptance of this Article as an amendment to the Constitution, all language and procedures within the Constitution, or amendments, pertaining to the electors (a.k.a. electoral college) are repealed and the process of this Article is recognized as the only process for electing a President and a Vice President of The United States.

PART – 2   Starting with the first presidential election following acceptance of this proposal as an amendment, both the President and the Vice President will be elected based upon a majority popular vote of the People, with the person receiving the greatest number of popular votes for the office of President serving as President; and the person receiving the greatest number of votes for the office of Vice President serving as Vice President.

PART – 3   Starting with the first presidential election following acceptance of this proposal as an amendment, both the President and the Vice President will be elected to a one time term of office limited to six years. Any person serving as vice president may not be elected as president until six years after the original expiration date of serving as Vice President. No President shall be allowed to serve more than one term of office. If the current President or Vice President is serving a first time elected four year term of office and is reelected it would only be for a four year term and not a six year term.  The Vice President would still be subject to the six year no serve clause. The only qualifications for the office of President or Vice President are: a person must be a natural born U.S. citizen, at least 35 years of age and receive the greatest number of popular votes.

PART – 4 Both Presidential, or Vice Presidential Candidates, Party or Individual, must abide by the rules and amounts established by and for the Presidential Election Campaign Fund in order to receive Government Subsidized Security from the Secret Service. Independent Candidates, or lesser publicized political parties that demonstrate by non-partisan polls, over a Four (4) Consecutive Months period, within twelve (12) months of the next Presidential Election, that they would more than likely win a least Twenty-percent (20%) of the popular vote, will have equal rights of participation in both the Presidential Election Campaign Fund and Secret Service Protection as warranted. Any Candidate choosing not to participate in the Presidential Election Campaign Fund will pay for any services provided by the Secret Service or other Governments Service (FBI) beyond investigation of a real or perceived threat as it relates to their candidacy. Both Presidential and Vice Presidential Candidates, Party or Independent, that qualify for the Presidential Election Campaign Fund will have the full rights of participation as those of the two major political parties as it relates to national media events. This part (PART - 4) of this proposal that may conflict with existing Eligibility for Public Funds relating to the Presidential Election Campaign Fund will be Superior to the existing language of the Fund in all debate(s); and will be Superior to any Secret Service Protection Law(s).

PART – 5   All ballots for the office of President and Vice President shall be Non-Preferential-Ballots with no pre-printed names, party identifications, or any other type of preferential markings.

PART – 6   All ballots will be in the English language only and will be printed on computer compatible material that has a perforated fold over cover that will be removed during the tabulating of the ballots. The cover will conceal all data printed on the inside of the ballot.

PART- 7   All ballots will be state and county (or its equivalent) personalized and encrypted with a computer generated code as followers:

W H I T E - 2 0 1 2 - 4 9 - 5 4 - X 1 G G 5 B

WHITE - The ballot for the office of the President will be printed on white background material.

2012 - The year of the election.

49 - The numerical number of a State according to its alphabetical listing - in this example 49 represents Wisconsin.

54 - The numerical number of a county within the state - in this case Rock County.

X1GG5B - A random computer generated six-digit code consisting of a combination of letters and numbers that provide individual identification of the ballot.

WHITE  2004  48  65  X1GG5B 

PART – 8   The official ballot for the office of Vice President will be printed on blue background material and will be appropriately coded. The official absentee ballot for the President will be printed on a red background material and will be appropriately coded. The official absentee ballot for the office of Vice President will be printed on a green background material and will be appropriately coded.

PART – 9   The outside removable fold over cover will also display the color, year of the election, state and county codes and will be numerically coded [000001 - 000002 - ..... ]. A color and numerically coded matched sheet(s) will accompany the ballots and will be signed by the voter next to a corresponding number for the ballot they have received. The removable fold over cover will remain on the ballot until tabulation and then will be discarded. The signed sheet(s) will accompany the ballots to the central receiving location. The computer generated codes on the ballot itself will not correspond to the codes on the cover or numerical listing of the sheet(s) so as to prevent the revealing of a person’s vote.

PART – 10   The number of ballots printed for each county for each category of ballots will be not less than one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the number of ballots cast in each county during the most previous presidential election, or not less than one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the estimated number of eligible voters 18 years old and older - whichever is the higher number. Each state, at the appropriate state level office, will receive a special set of ballots and sheets in all categories equal to ten percent (10%) of the total number of ballots sent to all counties within the state. These ballots and sheets will be identified as a national ballots and will not bear state or county coding (all other coding or numbering and tracking of the ballots and sheets will apply) since these special ballots may be used as needed by any county in the state, or may be used by another state if the need exists; however, these ballots will be used in an emergency only.

NOTE: This may seem like a excessive number of ballots being printed, however, it is better to have twice as many that may be needed, than to have only half as much; another proposal will address this part in a total different way.

PART – 11 All Presidential and Vice Presidential ballots cast by Military personal from both foreign and domestic sources will be sent to one location in the United States and will be tabulated at that location without regard to the Home State of the one casting the ballot; if the person voting is planning to be physically in their state and plans to vote in their home state, they may wave receiving a Military Ballot and cast their vote within the state. US Embassy personal on Foreign Service will have a similar ballot which will also be sent to the same receiving location for tabulation. In either case, Military, or Foreign Service, normal State balloting will still be done via the regular absentee ballot; but, for those in those services, they would not receive State absentee ballots for the President, or Vice President, as they will be provided for. All Military and Foreign Service Ballots will be encrypted as follows:

Military  -  W H I T E - 2 01 2 - 10 - 00 - X 1 G G 5

Foreign Service -  W H I T E - 2 0 1 2 - 00 - 10 - X 1 G G 5

10 – 00 - Will indicate it is a Military Ballot

00 – 10 – Will indicate it is a Foreign Service Ballot

X1GG5 – An encrypted code individualizing the Ballot.

The Vice President’s ballot will follow this same outline; see PARTS – 7- 8 & 9 for detailed guidance.

PART – 12   Poll opening and closing times: No poll will open before 12:01 A.M. in its standard time zone on the day of the election; or remain open past 11:59 P.M. in its standard time zone. No ballots for the office of President or Vice President (including absentee ballots) will be counted in any state until after 11:59 P.M. Hawaii Standard Time Zone. Voters, who receive absentee ballots by mail and do not pick up ballots in person, will have their name recorded on the appropriate color-matched sheet by a lawful county representative. Any absentee ballot may be turned in on the day of the election at the state and county coded polling place upon proof of Identification, no sheet signing is required as the Ballot has already been recorded. Voters who had requested absentee ballots but did not receive them, or may have lost them, may vote on election day with regular ballots but will indicate after their signature on the sheets the initials A.B.N.C. (Absentee Ballots Not Cast) which will indicate that their name may appear on absentee ballot sheets. All absentee ballots must be received before 11:59 PM on the day of the election; ballots received after that time will not be valid, however any late returning ballots must be sent to the central receiving location. Anyone found guilty of intentionally delaying the delivery of absentee ballots to the voters, or the receiving of them by the central receiving location, or the State's designated locations on time, will be subject to twelve (12) years in prison.

PART – 13   Each ballot will be accounted for. Local tabulations will be completed and published within 96 hours after Hawaii poll closing time.  Upon completion, all ballots, both used and unused, will be sent to a central receiving location and scanned for authenticity. All ballots will be preserved by the central receiving location for not less than one (1) year after the election. Any disputed tabulations will be reviewed and re-tabulated at the central receiving location. Only the central receiving location will possess any listings of the computer generated encrypted codes. All ballots will be delivered to the appropriate county offices no less than thirty (30) days before the election.

PART – 14 Pre-voter registration is not required to cast a vote for the Offices of President, or Vice president, or to receive an absentee ballot; but – a valid state, or federal government issued photo ID (along with proof of residency if not on the ID, or not current) presented at the time the ballot is requested, will be required of anyone requesting a Presidential, or Vice Presidential ballot; and the same will be equal to pre-voter registration where required. Voters requesting ballots by mail will include a photo copy of ID and residency information as needed. Any disabled or senior citizen unable to go to a voting place, that may not have an I.D., will have a lawful voter validate its absence and will submit their personal information and ID with the afflicted persons request for an absentee ballot. Any person knowingly using a false I.D., or knowingly casting more than one (1) ballot for either the President, or Vice President, will be imprisoned for three (3) year per act.

Note: The average cost of an ID is between $10. and $20.? – I am sure that their will be those in the political arena that will say that this cost is too much of a burden on the poorer people. If that burden proves to be the case, I would recommend taking money out of the Presidential Election Fund to support those with the need; or put a tax of $20. on Political Commercials ever time they are aired and set that money aside to help the needy. The Political Parties raise Millions and Millions of dollars to say that they are there to help the needy – do they not?

PART – 15   Any person who is not a United States Citizen, voting or attempting to vote, or signing, or attempting to sign, a proposed Constitutional Amendment Proposal, will be deported regardless of status or stature. Also, any person knowingly accepting or soliciting signatures of non US Citizens, if they themselves are a non US Citizen, will be deported as well; and any US Citizen found to be involved and/or guilty of being in violation of this part will be sentenced to six (6) years in prison.

PART - 16   The Congress shall provide appropriate funding to ensure the success of the application of the Article.

PART – 17   The language of this Article shall be deemed superior to any powers and laws of the federal government; laws or rights of the states, or parts of the Constitution where it may be in conflict.

PART – 18   The Congress shall have power to enforce by appropriate legislation the provisions of this Article.

PART – 19   The title of this Amendment shall be known as: Abundant Life Amendment - Article Four.

PART – 20   The language of this Article can only be amended by a majority vote of the People via a public referendum.

Note: If after reviewing this proposal you favor it - please petition your elected State and Federal Officials and let them know of your support of it and of your desire to have it become part of the Constitution.
