Vote fraud was predicted before the 2020 election, so it certainly wasn’t a surprise to anyone.
In fact, vote fraud is predicted before all elections, because in fact there IS – virtually undeniably – a great deal of vote fraud in every election in the United States.
We have a secret ballot, which makes it difficult to build in the kinds of security that we install in every other aspect of our lives. Did you buy that wristwatch, that overcoat, that bottle of wine? Easy… check the receipt, and there’s the proof. Did you pay for a Timex but walk out with a Rolex? Did you pay for a polyester windbreaker but walk out with a cashmere London Fog? Again, the receipt has the details, and your credit card tracks the purchase and ties it directly to you, personally.
In an American election, once the voter is approved as being deserving of a ballot, the match to the individual is removed, because of the secret ballot. In a precinct of 400 voters, Voter Number 202’s ballot gets mingled in with the others as soon as it’s cast; an auditor can look for obvious anomalies, but cannot check whether Voter 202’s true intentions were reflected on the ballot he cast when the count occurred.
So it is that so many cities have tragic jokes – horrible, infuriating crime stories, really – of the kinds of fraud most common to their areas.
- In Texas, the joke is that you never know when Ballot Box 13 will surface, with another 200 needed ballots, just enough to put the Democrat over the top.
- In Chicago, the saying is that Grandma and Grandpa have been voting straight Democrat for the past twenty years, which would upset them if they knew, because they never would have done that when they were alive.
- In Milwaukee, the “Smokes for Votes” scandal prompted years of jokes about a couple of hobos at the homeless shelter, where one says to the other, “Man, I sure need a cigarette; I hope there’s an election soon.”
- In New Orleans, people kid about how the bus drivers can take any day off except Election Day, because that’s the day that hundreds of patronage workers and their families must ride around town all day in school buses, as party hacks assign them a different name and address to declare at each polling place. At 40 people per bus, hitting a couple dozen polling places per day, that’s a thousand fabricated votes per busload. Is there one such bus in New Orleans, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, each election? Two? Ten? Twenty? That, we do not know. Yet.
There are, in fact, dozens of different ways in which a corrupt party organization can steal votes….
…and some of them don’t even require the party’s involvement. Some methods just require the party to make sure that conditions are ripe for fraud, and then it happens on its own, almost magically.
If the party just makes sure it doesn’t update its voter rolls very often – suing for discrimination, for example, every time Republicans try to purge the rolls of the moved-away or the deceased – then that alone ensures that there will be dozens, even hundreds of available opportunities per precinct, not just for the examples listed above, but also for the examples that corrupt individual voters can do on their own.
Most college students live in three or four different places during their college years, as they move from a freshman dorm to a sophomore dorm, and on to off-campus apartments for junior and senior years. If they are dedicated enough to their beloved party, they can cast votes from both their home and their school, without the party needing to play any role in that doubling of votes… though it does leave those other past addresses ripe for the taking, too, if the local precinct captain is ambitious.
A surprising number of people have two or more homes in America. The government usually doesn’t pay much attention to which one you vote from, leaving an honor system in place, in which you choose whether to vote from your New York coop or your Florida condo, or from your Chicago condo or your Wisconsin hunting cabin, or from your Indianapolis house or your Michigan fishing cottage. Just don’t vote from both. While this method is studied surprisingly rarely, a thorough review in 2004 found 46,000 people with homes in both New York and Florida who were registered in both states and at least a thousand of them had voted in both states in the same election – usually one in person, and one absentee. (Remember, the 2000 presidential election was basically decided by 537 votes in Florida).
In the 1990s, many states automated the concept known as Motor Voter, in which people were immediately, automatically registered to vote when they get drivers’ licenses – without even checking citizenship. As a result, millions of green card holding non-citizens are registered to vote. Even though it’s illegal for them to do so, the law is rarely enforced. Non-citizen, illegal voters have provided the margin in a number of known cases, such as Dornan vs. Sanchez in 1996. In one 2012 study alone, Florida had 180,000 illegal immigrants – that’s not green card holding non-citizens, that’s illegal aliens – on its voter rolls. Every vote cast by someone who shouldn’t is canceling out the legitimate vote of an American citizen.
The list of vote fraud methods is almost endless. We’ve only scratched the surface here, with this short snapshot of traditional methods to stuff the ballot box with duplicate and fabricated votes.
Are we saying here that these traditional kinds of vote fraud are enough to steal a presidential election? Well, maybe, and maybe not. Depends on where, depends on when.
But they are certainly enough – put together – to change the results of a state rep or state senate race, to flip a mayor or congressman or county board member election. If each of a hundred precincts has just a taste of this – two college kids who vote twice, just two families that voted twice, a couple non-citizens who shouldn’t be voting yet, or a couple illegal aliens who shouldn’t be here at all… or just one busload of party hacks casting ballots so they don’t lose their jobs in city works or the park district or the grammar school – we're talking about forty, fifty, sixty extra votes for the machine’s candidates, up and down the ballot. When you see a Republican lose any seat by just a half a percentage point, you know that fraud provided that margin to the “victorious” Democrat.
But that’s not what’s on the national mind today, is it?
Today, we are watching an amazingly popular incumbent president running for reelection, racking up huge percentage points all election night, until they mysteriously stopped counting, and his lead disappeared at 2am, 3am, 4am Wednesday. How could that be?
Oh, the talking heads had spin for it. “The first ballots counted were the Trump supporters, but the late night ballots were the mail-in votes, or the poorer precincts with computer problems, or the mail delays, or the absentees, or the provisionals… those would naturally go for Biden.” So we’re told.
But there were other reasons, reasons they didn’t admit to, and these were the whoppers.
Early in 2020, when a new virus hit Wuhan, China and quickly spread around the world, America’s Democrats hit on an idea. Lock down the economy, for weeks or months – telling people they wouldn’t be safe in public, wouldn’t be safe shopping at the mall, wouldn’t be safe at church or work or school, and wouldn’t be safe to vote at a public polling place.
Along with the massive destruction of private sector employment – long a goal of the modern Left – this would give them the opportunity to inflict on the nation a form of voting that has worked so well for them in the Pacific Northwest: the mail-in election.
In a normal, traditional election, each voter walks into a polling place and personally identifies himself (hopefully with state-issued identification), receives one ballot, and casts it there, in the presence of the poll-workers. The chain of custody from voter to ballot box is simple and direct. By contrast, with a mail-in election, the government just mails out millions of ballots – not in answer to specific requests as with absentee, but completely unsolicited… and if voters want to vote those ballots, they fill them out when they get around to it, then either drop them in the US mail or deposit them in an unguarded outdoor box.
Voters who intend to vote in person may discard them; voters who don’t intend to vote at all may not even notice them. And think of all the hundreds of thousands of bad addresses – the apartment lobbies and dormitory lobbies, the nursing homes and halfway houses, where there’s no mailbox for prior residents, so they get stacked up in the corner or scattered on the floor. There’s a building super, or a dorm or group home leader, who can collect that bundle of ballots, and put them to use. They are often the precinct captains, in fact. (Fancy that.)
On top of this flood of intentional “error” – some 10,000 dead people (according to government databases) voted this month in the state of Michigan alone – some of the other old-style corruption was ramped up this time. The government has collected depositions from government employees admitting that they were directed to destroy – and did – hundreds or even thousands of ballots with Trump votes on them.
Perusing the sworn depositions received this November, in the Democrat-run big cities of multiple battleground states, we learn that
- Big city election workers destroyed thousands of ballots that had been cast for Donald Trump,
- Big city election workers ran the same Biden ballots through the machines hundreds of times, as they desperately tried to keep up with the landslide of genuine Trump votes coming in from other parts of their states,
- Big city election workers banned official Republican observers from watching them work as they “counted” (and fabricated) Biden ballots, even covering windows with paper so they couldn’t be watched or filmed by legally authorized pollwatchers,
- Big city election workers unloaded boxes, coolers, and storage containers full of freshly-created ballots from Biden/Harris campaign vans in the middle of the night.
This can’t possibly have been their original plan. They got desperate, and they rushed so fast, the crimes couldn’t help but be noticed. If they had just performed their usual level of vote fraud, they might have failed to catch up with President Trump, but they could probably have gotten away with enough fabrication to steal the close downballot races like state legislator and county offices. But no, they were greedy; they had to beat President Trump, so they turned up the machine and got caught…. most strikingly with this last one:
We have all known that touchscreen voting and other computerization included some inherent risks. A partisan programmer can cause votes to hop from the voter’s choice to the opponent; it’s just a matter of mapping in the system; very standard programming.
Even worse, some modern tabulation systems, particularly those produced by Democrat Party connected firms, were used to change the counts in real time, in dark of night, either manufacturing votes for Biden or, amazingly, reversing Biden and Trump votes so that their favored candidate would receive whichever of the two vote counts was highest.
The details aren’t all out yet, but watch the news: names like Diebold, Skytl, Dominion, SmartMatic and ESS will soon rise to the top of the public consciousness.
No, the traditional methods would not have been enough to flip an election in which Donald Trump received about 80 million votes… but these new methods could. New technology can flip numbers in real time; all it needs is a crooked programmer.
We are told that Joe Biden – a man who hid in his basement for six months and promised to destroy the very industries that employ the American people – drew more support than any prior Democrat candidate. We are told that Biden blew Hillary Clinton’s numbers out of the water. That he even blew Barack Obama’s numbers out of the water. Does anyone actually believe that, considering the fact that Trump’s vote only grew, and he lost virtually no one who supported him last time?
The only explanation, as the statistics are reviewed, is that Trump’s votes are real, but Biden’s are inflated in three ways: the old-fashioned casting of illegal ballots for Democrats on and before Election day, one by one… the equally old-fashioned late night production of stacks of fake ballots… and the very new tool of computerized tally-switching, in which no human being needs to dirty his hands with ballots at all; the computer just lies about the count.
Between the Trump votes given to Biden and the Biden votes that were totally manufactured, it is clear that Biden’s numbers are inflated by millions of votes, and the difference in the battleground states alone, when honestly counted, is more than sufficient to deliver the Electoral College majority to President Trump.
Where is the proof, you ask? In the thousands of depositions, copies of servers, and forensic reviews that will be produced for the American legal system in the weeks and months to come.
Be patient, and watch state after state finally be called for the actual, honest winner, hopefully not only for the presidency, but for downballot races as well.
And watch the airports too; it would be shocking if a lot of well-known names don’t quickly retire – to countries that lack USA extradition treaties - in the weeks to come.
It has taken a long time, but… as the old saying goes: The truth will out.
