The 2020 Steal – Implications for 2022 and 2024
Many conservatives with whom I’ve spoken in recent months have said something to the effect of “Trump has to get off the 2020 Election thing and present a new vision for 2022 and beyond.” Sorry, but if he and we don’t keep the pressure on to expose and prepare to counteract the fraud that occurred in 2020, it will be repeated. While there are signs conservatives are prepared to stand up and fight (e.g. tail-gate parties at every ballot drop site), there is still way too much Alinsky-inspired shenanigans going on to ensure the 2022 election will be honest.
So, in that vein of keeping up the pressure, this article, penned by John F. Di Leo and published on August 15th on the always thought-provoking American Thinker, is one of those that had me nodding my head. Besides incitefully summarizing the fraudulent, lawless tactics used by the Left to manufacture 81 million votes for Biden, it addresses the impact that the otherwise laudable and critical feature of our elections, the Secret Ballot, has on the ability to AUDIT, ex-post-facto, the results.
On the one hand, we want our ballots to be secret. On the other, we want every ballot to be LEGITIMATE. As I pointed out back in November 2020, once a mail-in ballot is removed from its container (envelope), the latter usually bearing the auditable signature of a voter, and heads to the counting machine (themselves corruptible), it is impossible to determine whether the vote was legitimate. President Trump warned of precisely the potential for fraud in mail-out/mail-in ballots before the election. The Left executed their plan flawlessly, in all aspects!
WE MUST NOT LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN! If legislators won’t get rid of ballot drop boxes, if they won’t clean up their voter rolls, if they will not stop Democrat harvesting practices…and if it takes ALL NIGHT LONG, and FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES, we need to watch those drop boxes, as well as the COUNT, like eagles (eagles have even better sight than hawks)!!!
We are truly on the precipice. If we don’t decisively take back both the House and Senate in November, just a few short weeks away, we’re absolutely, fundamentally, possibly irretrievably, SCREWED!
Some excerpts from Di Leo’s article:
“In the “pandemic year” of 2020, Democrat bureaucrats across the country took advantage of public fears of Covid-19 to scare millions of people out of the traditional American election practice: in person, at a polling place, where each voter could at least potentially undergo an identity check as protection against vote fraud.
In 2020, numerous state, county, and city governments authorized such corruptible concepts as mass mail-in ballots, unguarded non-mail public drop boxes, and virtually unlimited ballot harvesting.
In Wisconsin, for example, the program known as “democracy in the parks” enabled Democrat activists to turn in tens of thousands of ballots that they claimed without evidence to have collected from hobos on park benches in the state capital of Madison. Nursing homes were told by the Wisconsin Election Commission that they could go ahead and cast votes on behalf of their patients, however conscious or unconscious they may be, without state officials supervising the voting to ensure that the actual voters’ wishes are the ones being recorded. Both practices are gross violations of Wisconsin state law, and likely resulted in tens of thousands of invalid votes being cast for Joe Biden in 2020… easily enough to change the statewide result in that narrow-margin election.
The same can be said of many states. There are dozens of different kinds of vote fraud, from the patronage worker bus tours of Chicago and New Orleans, to the late-night polling place openings judicially mandated in St. Louis, to the hundreds of thousands of votes cast by non-citizens, from green card holders to illegal aliens in sanctuary cities. There are states where poll workers traditionally take advantage of lulls on Election Day to cast ballots in the names of registered no-shows. There are college towns where votes are cast from dorms and student housing in the names of students who graduated and moved away years before.
Every state has a broad mix of these and other methods. No two states are identical.
There have been a host of election process investigations since November, 2020, when Donald Trump, who won 74 million popular votes, was declared to have lost to Joe Biden’s alleged 81 million, in a total purported voting population of 158 million. This would be an increase of 22 million over the turnout in 2016, in a country in which the only significant population demographic that’s increasing is that of non-citizens. It is statistically dubious, leading to the logical conclusion that a lot of those votes, certainly millions if not tens of millions, were fabricated.
What have almost all the investigations found? Even the most cursory review of their findings shows numerous opportunities for fraud — the lack of ID checks, the opportunity for round-tabling, the lack of any chain of custody in most non-election day voting… dozens of methods putting tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of votes per state in question. Nonetheless, these reports always conclude that they cannot “prove” that fraud occurred. They can show that opportunities exist ad infinitum, but they cannot establish beyond the shadow of a doubt that corrupt actors actually took advantage of these millions of opportunities.
Why?
Because of the secret ballot.”
“In any traditional audit, from an ISO-9000 audit at the plant to an IRS tax audit at your small business, a spot check is used to see if the intended results match the real recorded results.
The secret ballot makes such an audit impossible. A definitive election audit would not check the total ballots cast against the total count; it would check the ballots as processed against the actual will of the voters. And this is impossible because we don’t know who cast which ballot. We cannot determine if John Smith and Mary Jones cast that ballot, or if a different one was substituted for theirs, because their ballot was not signed, and in fact could not be, by law.”
“Our system recognizes the risks of a publicly known ballot – the risk of discrimination, for example, by a corrupt local political machine – so the secret ballot is rightly sacrosanct.
But what this means is that few election integrity studies can ever conclusively state that they have “proven” that an election was stolen. All they can do is show the overwhelming risks in an intentionally compromised system, and trust that the reader can figure out what it means. We must prevent vote fraud in advance, precisely because we cannot usually catch and prosecuted it after the fact.
How does the press report it, though? Without fail, the mainstream media – and their clients in the political class, from elected officials to the deep state denizens who rule them – report that yet another study failed to prove vote fraud. They can report, again and again, that the claims of fraud are all “unproven,” smirking under their Covid-19 masks in the knowledge that they’re reporting the exact opposite of the study’s real findings.
Vote fraud in America has been well known for generations, but the Democrat party has successfully managed to trick the public into believing that it’s limited to known dens of iniquity like Chicago and New Orleans. They hid how widespread it was. Until 2020.
With the 2020 election, everything was exposed. The tools used against Donald Trump, from 2000 real mules to 20,000 fictional hobos, smacked of desperation. They succeeded, but at great cost: they replaced incumbent Donald Trump with a basement-dwelling dementia patient who couldn’t fill a New Hampshire diner let alone a stadium rally. The canary in the coal mine – the Trump presidency – was extinguished.”
