How prevalent is voter fraud? Unfortunately, it remains a serious problem in our nation, especially in the states that legalized "Ballot Harvesting.”
Many citizens have the advantage of having their ballot mailed to them. They can then fill out their ballot and mail it back in the envelope provided by the voter registrar in their state or county.
Ballot harvesting, however, allows anyone to go door to door and gather other voters’ ballots. These “gatherers” are often hired to go door to door in areas far from where they live, claiming to citizens they will take their ballots to the proper source; some gatherers even offer to help the individuals fill out their ballots. This might sounds like a nice and thoughtful gesture to employ, particularly for those who are elderly or ill. However, everyone is not honest. Surrendering your ballot to a stranger is not a good idea, particularly when it isn’t necessary.
Most of us prefer a far safer way to treat our ballot: fill it out, put a stamp on the envelope provided, and mail it. Better yet, vote in person. There is no need to surrender your ballet to anyone, let alone a stranger.
A veteran political operative who engaged in election fraud for years was finally caught. He admitted to having committed the crimes and explained how Ballot Harvesting made the fraud so much easier. Why so? Because many voters gladly let him take their ballot as promised directly to the correct source.
His tactic was to gather as many ballots possible from unsuspecting voters, take them home, separate them according to their Party affiliation, destroy those of the opposition Party, and submit the ballots of the Party who hired him. He bragged that the crime was exceedingly easy and that there was little fear of detection. In fact, the source found it so successful, he hired and trained others to help him commit the crime.
A Wake-Up Call to Patriots
The few who have been caught and arrested for the crime confirmed it is the easiest crime to commit with the least chance of being detected. That statement alone should be a wake-up call to all American patriots who deeply resent that an illegal ballot could be cancelling their own. It's a violation and form of theft, but many states have not made it a priority to update their voting machines or put forth specific warnings to voters as to how best to protect themselves from voter fraud.
Every voter should be assured their State and City officials have done everything possible to prevent their vote from being cancelled out by an illegal one. Yet, the facts prove some “gathered” ballots end up as fuel for someone’s backyard barbecue.
If your State allows ballot harvesting, warn all within your sphere of influence not to surrender their ballot to anyone. The safest way to assure that your ballot will be counted is to vote in person; next is for you to mail your own ballot in the proper envelope to the Voter Registrar in your County; third is to take your ballot to the nearest mailbox and mail it yourself, fourth, and least favorite, is to allow a friend or relative to mail it for you. NEVER surrender your ballot to someone you do not know.
Citizen have a right to expect officials not only to protect legal votes, but also to detect those that are illegal. For this task officials need our cooperation. Consider asking your Voter Registrar what your County leaders have developed to prevent/detect voter fraud. Do not let anyone tell you voter fraud is rare or doesn't exist, as Democrats routinely claim. Voter fraud exists and has been discovered in most every State. Criminals have confessed to the crime, but far more who engage in this crime for financial gain have not been caught.
How much evidence is enough? Mail-in voting is RIFE with fraud. Pat Gray, an American talk radio host, breaks down all the facts on why universal, mail-in voting is a problem in a video, courtesy of The Blaze TV YouTube Channel. Click here to watch.
Demise of Roman Republic
You may think your ballot won’t make any difference in the election results. May we not forget that many once-great nations eventually failed because their citizens grew lazy by allowing the wrong people to fool and then rule them.
The average age of a country remaining strong is not for as many years as most people believe it is. There are often serious, unseen problems that need to be revealed and deserve to be addressed for a nation to remain a leader in the World. As citizens we must do our part for the United States to remain strong.
What America can learn from the fall of the Roman Republic by Sean Illing, posted on August 15, 2020, reveals the following:
After 300 years the Roman Republic destroyed itself. Might this nation be on a similar path of destruction?
"If you were a Roman citizen around, say, 200 BC, you probably would have assumed Rome was going to last forever.
At the time, Rome was the greatest republic in human history, and its institutions had proven resilient through invasions and all kinds of disasters. But the foundations of Rome started to weaken less than a century later, and by 27 BC the republic had collapsed entirely.
The state became too big and chaotic; the influence of money and private interests corrupted public institutions; and social and economic inequalities became so large that citizens lost faith in the system altogether and gradually fell into the arms of tyrants and demagogues."
Heed Our Founding Fathers
As John Adams said: “Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide."
One of Benjamin Franklin's last great quotes came as Franklin knew his life was near its end in November of 1789:
“Our new Constitution is now established, everything seems to promise it will be durable; but, in this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes.”
Our best chance of remaining a great country and a Constitutional Republic is to vote for the best candidates.
The second most important point is to prevent voter fraud. None of us want our vote cancelled by an illegal one.
The third warning is we cannot always believe what those expensive, unsolicited flyers or posters claim about a candidate or even what we read in the paper and/or see on T.V.
We must instead keep alert and do our best to investigate and determine who, what, and how to vote to have the “best of the best” making decisions for our nation’s welfare.
This upcoming election is the choice between saving our Constitutional Republican or sliding into Socialism/Communism which has never worked whenever or wherever is has been tried in the World.
