I’ll try to avoid using the words fraud and steal in this post. It will be difficult. Here’s the crux of the debacle that was the election this year. Just as was trumpeted well before November 3rd, the process by which votes were solicited, collected, processed and counted was exposed to be woefully deficient. It is worthy of a banana republic, not the greatest and most technologically advanced nation in the world. What’s worse, and critical in a divided nation and close election, is an inability to verify the validity of both the voters and the votes.
It starts with voter identification. In too many places, one has only to show up with a driver’s license (or official substitute), fill out an affidavit, and be registered to vote on the spot. The voter registration form – the California form example is reproduced below as an example, has the applicant affirm he or she is a U.S. Citizen, etc.
When one fills out this form, even if a drivers license or social security card is presented, neither of which requires one to be a citizen, for identification, no positive evidence of citizenship is required. Sure, the applicant is committing perjury by signing the form, but you’d have to be truly naive to think that unqualified persons actually pay attention to that certification. If you’re here illegally, or are not a citizen, do you really fear enforcement? Of course not.
Nowhere is this flaw in our system more apparent than in the motor voter and same-day-registration. It’s no wonder the Left wants to allow illegal aliens in. Even before they are wholesale granted citizenship so they become a permanent Leftist voting block, their ability to register to vote, illegally, is facilitated by the drive-up-and-fill-out-this-form mechanism. On college campuses around the country, the registration of students with home/permanent addresses different from their temporary college dorm addresses to influence local elections is fundamentally improper. Their home address registrations are not cancelled when this happens. Temporary addresses while attending school should not be used for voter registration, yet they have been with unfair (charitably) impact. Such was the case in the election of Connecticut’s governor. His opponent led all day, by wide margins, until just before poll closing, when bags full of “votes” from New Haven (Yale) and Bridgeport (numerous schools), never questioned, miraculously appeared to tip the election in favor of the incumbent.
The second deficiency with our system and process is the fiction in voter rolls. There is not just anecdotal but documented evidence that dead voters, illegal voters, voters who have moved away or unqualified voters appear on the rolls. These lists are used to send out absentee ballot applications which in turn, particularly in this election with the COVID canard, result in ballots being erroneously (to use a charitable term) mailed out to MANY people and addresses.
Third, while I appreciate that we have a republic which allows each state to decide how to conduct its elections, in my opinion there ought to be uniformity with regard to certain aspects of FEDERAL elections which by definition affect the entire country, such as rules concerning the timing and cutoffs of ballot presentation and the manner in which voters are qualified.
Fourth, the envelope within an envelope structure of the ballot prevents adequate validation and the elimination of the matching signature requirement invites irregularities (again, charity). Once the inner envelope, the one with the signature, is opened and the ballot separated from it, it is impossible to know whether the ballot is valid or not. Without human supervision of the process, unqualified (charity) ballots can no longer be identified and in retrospect, singled out for verification.
The whole process, therefore, invites and facilitates both errors and manipulation. While on the one hand millions upon millions of ballots are valid, qualified and submitted properly, as we now see, there can be enough with problems that the outcome can be changed and cast in doubt.
If I had a dollar for every invalid registration in this country, I would be, most certainly, a wealthy man.
We have clearly entered a post-truth era, a post-right-and-wrong era. The ability to influence perception and misperception has been magnified 1000x by the internet, social media and what I’ll call “production values” – the whole mechanism whereby reality is modified with visual, audio and timing effects using technology.
As of this writing the election results are still uncertain. The media has promoted a variety of different “realities”. I for one don’t accept ANY of them. What’s worse, I have no confidence that REAL reality will be discernible. “Perception is reality” is an oft used phrase that has multiple levels of interpretation. In the absence of TRUE truth, indelible truth, truth which is true irrespective of manipulation and production values…we have only our own perceptions and critical thinking abilities left to discern what it is.
My perception is that though now divided as a people into two nations, the majority albeit a smaller majority than I would have hoped, wanted a continuation of the policies and course set in place by the Trump administration rather than the alternative. It is not Trump who divided this country. It is the Left. It is not Trump who is racist, fascist, a puppet of special interests and foreign adversaries, it is the Left. It is not Trump who supports violence and looting and disorder in our streets. It is the Left. And it is not Trump who advocates the erasure of our history, the cancelling of our heritage. It is the Left. And so on and so forth.
I don’t believe the country really wants what the Left has put lipstick on. That’s MY reality, and I pray Right and TRUE Truth prevail in the days, weeks and months ahead.
May our country be spared and traditional values be preserved.
