— DuPage County Clerk Acknowledges Issues With Voting Machines, Commits to Remedial Measures to Ensure Voters Accurately Informed, Not Misled
https://illinois.gop/category/news/
(FROM THE PRESS RELEASE: Following calls by voters and Republican Party officials, DuPage County Clerk Jean Kaczmarek is acknowledging an issue with DuPage County voting machines and has committed to several remedial measures requested by the ILGOP and others. Several voters reported that while reading the questions on the screen of the electronic voting machines at early voting locations in DuPage County, after 10 seconds, the machine would automatically highlight the candidate or question that occupied the first ballot position, which this year are the Democratic Party candidates. The technical issue is related to how the County’s voting machines comply with the ADA. “While all counties must adhere to ADA requirements while conducting their elections, we have not seen this occur in any other county in the State, where a candidate’s name would be automatically highlighted, as they were in DuPage,” said ILGOP Chairman Tim Schneider. “We brought these issues to the Clerk and appreciate the Clerk’s office taking these issues seriously.” The DuPage County Clerk has committed to place signage at each Early Voting site, to provide a hand out to each voter, and to place explanatory signage on each electronic voting machine used in Early Voting in DuPage County. While a technological fix is unavailable during the Early Voting period, the Clerk has committed to investigate whether a technological fix may address the issue for Election Day voting. Said Schneider, “We appreciate the Clerk taking these remedial measures to help avoid any voter confusion on these machines. It is obviously of the utmost importance that all voters have the chance to make an informed choice at the polls.”)

In my defense, I earned a) a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970 and job-related master’s degrees when I was 27, 31, and 48, b) job-related professional certifications when I was 30, 32, 41, 45, 47, and 48, and c) a job-related professional license when I was 32. I passed the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979. I passed the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981. I served on the Executive Committee of the Association of Government Accountants Chicago Chapter 1983-1996. In Diersen v. GAO, I put into the court record all the performance appraisals that my GAO supervisors gave me 1980-1997.)

But it has turned into little more than a bureaucratic paper shuffle that collects little useful information. – Alex Ruppenthal (DIERSEN: My Democrat superiors in the federal government were not lax in reporting their progress a) in hiring, retaining, and promoting young Democrat minorities and young Democrat females and b) in getting rid of their employees who were Republican, White, male, and/or non-veteran who they had not promoted to GS-13 (currently $101,176) by age 25, GS-14 (currently $119,559) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $140,634) by age 35, and Senior Executive Service (currently $170,800) by age 40.

CNBC
— Coronavirus changed the 2020 money race — and helped Biden erase Trump’s massive cash advantage – Christina Wilkie (DIERSEN: So far, what has your Republican Precinct Committeeman/Captain done to help elect Republican candidates? Since 2000, I have made GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails available to Republican candidates, their political consultants, their campaign managers, their staff members, their volunteers, etc. Last Friday, I finished hand-delivering door-to-door the following to all 150 homes in my precinct a) that had at least one Republican or Independent voter and b) that had no Democrat yard signs: joint candidate piece from the Milton Township Republican Organization, sample ballot, an Illinois Family Institute Trump/Biden comparison piece, literature from the other 13 Republican candidates on the ballot in my precinct in contested races (Mark Curran, Jeanne Ives, Amy Grant, Christopher Kachiroubas, Robert Grogan, Richard Jorgensen, Babette Holder Youngberg, Timothy Elliott, Timothy Whelan, Ann Celine Walsh, Monique O’Toole, James McCluskey, and Richard Felice), and my GOPUSA Illinois business card. 900 of the aforesaid 2,400 pieces had to be folded to fit inside the envelopes provided by the DuPage County Republican Central Committee. The 150 envelopes had a) 358 mailing labels on them provided by the DuPage County Election Division, one for each individual Republican or Independent voter and b) my return address label.)
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/09/29/election-money-coronavirus-impact-biden-trump.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Biden and the Democrats used the next three months to change nearly everything about the nuts and bolts of the campaign, eschewing many of the ground-level organizing techniques that Obama pioneered in 2008, and instead opting to go almost entirely digital. “Fundamentally, knocking on a door and not reaching anyone doesn’t get you much except leaving a piece of [campaign literature] behind. You might as well send a piece of mail,” Biden campaign manager Jen O’Malley Dillon said at a recent event hosted by Politico. “I know the Republicans want to say, ‘Oh we have, you know, a million door knocks a week.’ Well, that doesn’t really matter. What matters is the conversations you’re having. We have over 2,500 staff across all of our battleground states directly engaging with voters. They’re doing it over the phone, they’re doing it via text, they’re doing it online, they’re meeting people where they are,” said O’Malley Dillon.)
— Biden campaign slams Facebook for ‘regression’ in its efforts to safeguard the election – Lauren Feiner (DIERSEN: I should write a book about candidates, their political consultants, their campaign managers, their campaign staff members, and their volunteers a) who have blamed me and my GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails for all of their problems, for all of your problems, for all of my problems, and for all of everyone’s problems; b) who have discouraged me from sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails; c) who have discouraged everyone from reading GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails; and/or d) who have taken other adverse actions against me. I would focus on those candidates on ballots in my precinct since 2000 a) who have lost elections and/or b) who fear losing on November 3, 2020.)
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/09/29/biden-campaign-slams-facebook-for-regression-in-protecting-democracy.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In a scathing message to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Monday, the Biden campaign accused the company of backsliding on its work to protect democracy in the U.S. by fighting misinformation about the 2020 presidential election. Biden’s campaign manager accused Facebook of failing to act on its commitments to prohibit messages misrepresenting who can vote and how. The letter comes ahead of the first presidential debate Tuesday night.)

I would focus on those who have never worked for, worked with, and/or supervised a Democrat. Virtually all my superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates 1964-1997 were Democrats.

LOS ANGELES TIMES
— Biden is slightly healthier, study says, but both presidential candidates may be ‘super-agers’ – JAMES RAINEY (DIERSEN: What do you say to those who promote age discrimination? All my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes promote age discrimination a) to get rid of those who are older than they are and/or b) to curry favor with younger people. I should write a book about my critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton’s West District, in Wheaton, in Milton Township, in DuPage County’s 4th District, in DuPage County, and in Illinois.

https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2020-09-25/biden-trump-super-agers-longevity-study
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The presidential candidates and their supporters will likely keep belittling the other guy as a doddering old fool, but a group of geriatric experts say in a new paper that both President Trump and challenger Joe Biden appear to have the physical and cognitive tools to make it through four years in the White House. In fact, the two candidates’ relative good health and other advantages — parental longevity, access to top-notch healthcare and abstinence from smoking and drinking — suggest both men are likely to become long-living “super-agers,” who thrive well into their 80s, or beyond, according to a draft report written by three medical doctors and four researchers with expertise in public health, survival analysis and statistics. . .While the candidates are unusually healthy for their age, Biden is projected to live longer because of his routine fitness regimen, compared with Trump’s relatively sedentary lifestyle and obesity, according to the paper. which will be published in October in the Journal on Active Aging. The journal bills itself as “an indispensable tool for professionals who are dedicated to older adults living as fully as possible regardless of age.”)

But there are also differences. At the NDP camp, workers from different parts of the campaign are “bubbled” and not allowed to interact with their fellow party workers. That is not only a drag for the Smith brothers, but for senior bus staffer Marie Della Mattia and her daughter, Emily, who works at NDP headquarters. The NDP says its rules are based on guidelines from WorkSafeBC and Henry’s office: At headquarters, staff work in small cohort teams that arrive and eat at different times while those on the bus sit in spread-out seats and hand sanitize after every stop. On Thursday, the party issued new protocols for journalists, which includes an online form that asks for symptoms and collects contact-tracing information. The Liberals’ safety plan includes many of those same elements, but also details minimizing the number of workers in campaign offices, prohibiting the public from entering the offices or requiring appointments, and using plastic or shower curtains barriers when physical distance cannot be maintained. The Liberals also have rules for canvassing, which includes limiting physical contact with doorbells and railings, hand-sanitizing between each house, never going into voters’ houses, and never petting their dogs and cats. Campaign material should be carried in a plastic bag, workers must “take every possible precaution to avoid sneezing” on it, and it should never be handed directly to a voter. Liberal events should have no more than 50 people, ideally be held outside, provide masks and sanitizer and, when possible, have assigned seating, the party says. In its safety material, the Green party acknowledges that “COVID-19 has created a situation where campaigning is going to look very different.” For starters, canvassers should wear gloves and, this year more than ever, respect a voter who isn’t interested. “Canvassers must understand that the public may not be comfortable with this type of activity at their place of residence. Team members will need to be polite, respectful and sensitive to people’s comfort levels,” the Green material says. Only team members in the same household bubble should travel in a car together. If additional people must be in the car, roll the windows down. In campaign offices, door handles, printers and sink taps must be cleaned several times a day, and Green party volunteers should avoid using common coffee pots, kettles or microwaves — which could make for some tired and hungry volunteers. Even when it comes to donations, the rules have changed. The Green party would prefer “contactless” transactions, presumably e-transfers, or old-fashioned cash can be dropped into a container with a slot on top.)
