“We should make Election Day a national holiday,” Bernie Sanders demanded. The same message was amplified throughout the echo chambers of the media and social media.
How about we just bring back Election Day?
We don’t have Election Day anymore. We have Election Week and Election Month.
Over 42 million early votes were cast this election. That’s not as bad as the catastrophic 2020 election of over 100 million votes where the deciding electorate seemed to be ballot harvesters, but it takes us back to 2018. And that was bad enough because it’s becoming the new normal.
In 2014, there were 21 million early votes. We’re at double that.
In presidential elections, they want to make 69% of the country voting by mail or early voting, the way it happened in 2020, into the floor. And then go up from there.
And that means we don’t have elections anymore.
What happens when you have Election Month? The dead vote and the dead get elected.
Rep. Tony DeLuca died in October at the age of 85. The longest serving representative was reelected anyway.
“We are proud to see the voters continue to show their confidence in him and his commitment to Democratic values by re-electing him posthumously,” Pennsylvania House Democrats said.
How the hell does something like that happen?
Early voting begins 4-6 weeks in Pennsylvania. That was enough time for Tony to die even as he was cruising his way to a re-election.
70% of the over 1.4 million voters requesting mail ballots came from Democrats. The majority of those flooded in from Allegheny County and Philadelphia.
When the system is so broken that a dead man can win because voters are literally voting for the walking dead, it needs change. And, speaking of the voting dead, congratulations to Senator-Elect Jon Fetterman who benefited from voters not realizing that he’s a zombie.
That’s what the new regime where half the country engages in early voting means.
In the weeks before the midterms, Joe Biden rasped about a “threat to democracy”. The only threat here is that no one trusts an election system which has no safeguards and no standards. Even the most backward countries use some form of voter ID and are more likely to have results on Election Day than we do. There are tribes who vote with beads who are better at this than our election officials with million dollar budgets and entirely convenient breakdowns.
In some of the most hotly contested presidential elections of an age where computers filled a room, everyone knew the outcome by the end of the day. Now, we put everything in the ‘cloud’ and we’re warned that the results won’t be known for days or weeks, but that shouldn’t worry us.
It should worry us.
You don’t restore confidence in a system by telling everyone to shut up and slurring them as ‘Election Deniers’ which is a terrible thing to be unless you’re Hillary Clinton, Al Gore or Stacey Abrams. You do it by making it work. Democrats reimagined elections for partisan advantage by capturing Secretary of State races and then changing them into an ongoing process.
It’s no surprise that Democrat votes are far more likely to come in ‘early’ and ‘late’.
Elections work when everyone votes by the same rules. But we now vote in two different systems. And those systems are on a collision course. When one group of people vote by standing in line on Election Day, as was always the case, and another vote with the help of a ballot harvester who has a quota to fill, they’re not voting in the same system.
And they’re not going to respect each other’s results. Why should they?
Democrats describe voting on Election Day as “voter suppression”. Republicans call ballot harvesting election fraud. This is what systemic incapability creating distrust looks like.
For that matter, why should anyone trust the outcome in Arizona when Katie Hobbs functions as both secretary of state, overseeing elections, and running for governor at the same time?
“Elected secretaries of state in Arizona have overseen elections where they’re on the ballot since statehood. This has never been an issue until now,” Hobbs told CNN . “I’m not going to recuse myself from the job that the voters elected me to do.”
Whether not Hobbs has done anything wrong, legally or ethically, this is not how you behave when you want people to trust the system. It’s how you act to create distrust.
Democrats claim that they want to make it as easy as possible for everyone to vote. But what they’ve actually done is make it as difficult as possible for anyone to trust the system.
After battling voter ID and insisting on taking any ballots, no matter how dubious, they’ve transformed Election Day into an ongoing event in which their activists have as much time before and after the election as they need to find the votes that will allow them to claim victory.
Even if some of this isn’t illegal, it’s rigging and gaming the system for a particular outcome.
Elections are supposed to empower the people to choose the government. The Democrats have made elections into a complicated system that allows them to find votes without regard to voter turnout. The system they’ve created represents a power shift from the people to the parties in which the people who show up to vote are swamped by the garbage votes mined by activists.
Instead of the people choosing elected officials, the officials choose the voters. Election Month and ballot harvesting complete the process that began with gerrymandering. They make votes into just another commodity that can be harvested regardless of public sentiment.
Elections like these don’t turn on polls or what the public wants, but whether the resources of the leftist political machine can outweigh the voters with their voter harvesting campaigns.
There’s nothing particularly fair or even free about such a system.
Election Day belongs to those who care, who choose to participate in the process and to make their voices heard. Tens of millions of those people showed up. They battled long lines, mysterious polling place breakdowns and the usual poll worker shenanigans. And some of them prevailed. Others were drowned out by garbage votes for a dead man and the walking dead.
We won’t have free and fair elections worth respecting until we bring back Election Day.
And if that ever happens, maybe Election Day will be a day worth celebrating as the return of the voting franchise to the people and away from the billionaires and leftists who stole it from us.
Good points made! If indeed electronically-cast votes are stored in the cloud, then it is obviously wide open for illegal access and manipulation.
It is no secret that most high tech companies worry so much about their proprietary technologies getting accessed and stolen via cloud providers, that they either have their own on-premise system / own cloud server, or they go with the least likely offenders like AWS (most worry about the Google cloud, given their history of indulging in personal user information.
NOTHING is 100% safe and secure on the cloud, and there is ZERO transparency with what the providers do (or “outsource” to other bad actors to do, including foreign entities and governments).
Yeah, that’s the way it used to be. Neighborhood precincts, locals served as election workers, they knew all the voters or at least checked them off their lists, and no problem counting all the votes that night.
Best way for honest elections is that only military or bed ridden get mail in votes !! Enough bs !!
Another point on the dangers of using electronic voting machines is that it is no secret that they ALL are highly vulnerable to hacking as are the communication channels they utilize. A most typical project for cyber and programming students is the challenge to hack, infiltrate, reroute, disable and otherwise manipulate these primitive voting machines. It takes on average from 10 minutes to a few hours to breach a Dominion machine, for example. Anyone who calls them secure is false advertising – an outright lie.
I read somewhere that the dominion machines were originally designed to allow minority religious groups to have their voices heard by increasing the value of their votes to 1.7 or something. This was because it is an Islamic country and they were terrified to turn up to vote in person.
This is all it takes to fiddle the election.
Venezuela used them successfully to defy the odds and “elect” their socialist dictators.
Exactly, that’s what I heard. They practiced cheating overseas, then decided to do it here.
Bulls Eye !! Paper ballots and votes ID will guarantee fair elections
In Florida the machines send electronic running tally to the Supervisor of Elections office, AND, preserve the paper ballot to be sent, locked, to the S of E office by currier.
If elections are as important as lip servicers say, then they can get off their butts and show up.
We will not have fair elections with votes cast only on election day until the CIA and FBI are dismantled, and those currently in power are imprisoned or executed. All are criminals and traitors, and we treat them as if they have some legitimacy.
It would be a good idea to try a Supreme Court challenge on the basis that “Election Week” and “Election Month” both violate the due process and equal protection requirements of the 14th amendment, It would be a long shot, but at least raise the issue that the rules are not equal and neither are the effects.
Our elections are now a joke
I’ll never trust another election after 2020, unless the votes are counted by hand, naked and at gunpoint, on film in a room with no devices that connect to the internet.
Why does voting have to be easy, so say Democrats and soft Republicans.
It is challenging hard work to review your ballot beforehand then make the final choices.
Once you have that ballot in your hand it is sacrosanct not meant for any other yours alone.’ When I did my civic duty as an elected committeemen we used voting booths with metal levers, it was not easy and for those less intellectually minded it must have been quite the chore.
When I went to vote Tuesday – I went to four voting booths with my ballot
before I found one with a pen. And it was a regular ballpoint pen lying
loose – not the attached felt tipped pen they’re supposed to provide.
It gave me a real creepy feeling. Almost as if the Board of Elections was
saying “we’re not bothering to provide the proper materials for voting. The
fix is already in”.
An important election too – for governor. The Republican shellacking seen
across the country from the elections under a Biden administration of
exorbitant prices, illegal invasion, out of control crime – seems to validate
that ‘fix’.
We won’t ever have free and fair elections until Americans put down their electronic toys, turn off the endless sportscasts, turn off the fake news and tune into their neighbors and family. The people need to pay more attention to what is important and impacts their life and stop wasting time on paul pelosi, greiner, Seattle (unless you live there), California (unless you live there) and all the other baubles dangled to keep the masses distracted. Pay attention to who is your county election commissioner – I’ll bet $100 that the first 20 people you ask won’t know who was in charge of counting their vote – and who is on the local school board and who is in the DA’s office. The local DA has more influence over your quality of life than the DOJ.
Americans are fat, dumb and happy living in their world of pretend and until they are made uncomfortable, nothing will change.
Change the political system; term limits (a person can only serve one consecutive term but may serve multiple non-consecutive terms; pay limits, maximum amount a public official can make is the current poverty level figure with no perks of any sort; drop all special privileges for public officials, if they fly they pay, they pay their staff out of their own pockets and pay for office space the same way. Public service should be just that, public service, not a career leading to million dollar bank accounts.
We need a national figure to rally all honest Americans to fight for fair, honest elections. No more ballot harvesting, no more early or mail in voting except for the certified disabled or very elderly. No more candidate being Secretary of State responsible for elections as in Arizona where machines went out right from the outset. We need to get serious about this rather than wringing our hands. Surely there must be an honest someone willing to start this movement. There really isn’t much hope for our country until the cheating is stopped.
We have to reestablish voting on Election Day or in person early voting as absolutely the desired and optimal legal norm with absentee voting solely reserved for those physically unable with no possibility of mining of votes and cleansing of election rolls of the deceased and ineligible voters who have moved or have not legally registered
We’ve got free and fair elections. What we’ve got to do is stop lying about stolen elections and dump Trump. Mainly dump Trump.
Trump has cost the GOP greatly in 2020 and now in 2022. The incompetent stooges he endorsed lost to lousy Dem candidates. One in Pennsylvania was even brain dead.
So let’s stop with this screwball idea that the elections aren’t fair and get on with ditching Trump and his lies.
DeSantis is the future.
Amazing. Another psychotic anti-Trump obsessive….and Trump wasn’t even on the ballot this time around.
These types are all over Right Scoop and American Greatness as well. All of them so anxious for Desantis to stab the people who re-elected him in their collective backs so they can lie out their Trump free fantasies.
Fortunately Desantis is not as stupid as you are Jonnie.
MSM is building up DeSantis in order to bring down Trump. But as soon as Trump is out of the running, MSM will turn on DeSantis.
The Senator that won in my State of North Carolina, Ted Budd, a Republican was our congressman for the last two terms, has done a great job at that and is not an incompetant stooge. President Trump endorsed him. Excuse me but the Democrat party put in a man with Dementia, just elected a man who has had a stroke and can talk no better than the President and voted in a dead man.
Mail away!
Get the bulk of Democrats to mail in their Biden/Harris selections for 2024 as soon as possible.
Thing long, think wrong.
You need to ask what makes stealing an election not only possible but ACCEPTABLE to a majority of Americans in the first place? By “acceptable” I do not mean that 51% of the citizens have to be aware of the theft and cheering it on, it means 51% or more of the citizens are thoroughly INDIFFERENT to voting, to freedpm, to liberty, to fighting for, or maintaining the American way of life which is Capitalism.
Bring back Election Day? You first have to bring back a citizenry that is actually EDUCATED and dedicated in freedom, liberty, and the Rights of Man. That actually knows, actually understands, and intensely cares about their freedom, their liberty, and their rights.
Teach Symbolic Logic courses in high schools. It is actually an easy subject to learn, and once people learn to think logically they won’t be able to accept all the propaganda BS.
Not gonna happen. Election fraud is the ONLY way the Deep State can advance their agenda, and the midterms proved they pulled ALL the stops out to get their swamp creatures across the line. Even before the votes have been counted (or manipulated) in AZ, they are now trying to push DeSantis over Trump, notwithstanding that if they are successful in getting the RINO’s and even the lightweight Trump supporters to break away from him, DeSantis will never hold a candle to Trump’s ability to withstand the slings and arrows.
Nope, election fraud is Number One on the Deep State’s list to eliminate true elections.
It will not matter if the election day is a holiday or what ever .The communists have figured out how to fix the election and they will do it even if they do away with early voting or mail in voting that just made it easer we will never have a honest election again and the country will fall sooner or later..I will not vote again not that anyone cares it is a total waste they are going to be all communists before long.Look at Colorado this will be what the whole country will look like with in five years the communists win bigger every election blame it on early voting mail in voting it has been going on here for fifteen years the RINO party is owed by the dem/communists
If showing up at the polls is too much of a pain in the butt for you, maybe voting isn’t all that important to you.
Making the ballot box great again except all Fauci had to do was whisper in Trump’s ear and the whole country went shutdown bye bye.
Then Trump thought he was going to clinch it by pumping his vaccine monstrosity from sea to shining sea. He thought that was a real winner. Maybe, but not for him.
Who was the most powerful man in America? Whoever Trump was paying attention to at the time.
Well, listening and following the last person one heard is a dangerous syndrome. I was guilty of it when I was young, and I’ve observed it in some others.
So who exactly will bring back that good old Election Day? The Feds playing for the Other Side? Don’t hold your breath. Guilty state officials? They have us where they want us; enough valid votes to throw them out may never get counted or may be neutralized by illegal votes made to order. The courts? Already, we’ve see how little the courts want to solve this one. When destiny calls, nobody has standing! With the latest combination of low and high tech tactics, the bums can stay in power.
Another excellent article!
“But..but..but..Trump vs. DeSantis” is shouted over Daniel’s truthful expose and our great need to fix the election process.
How do you think that will happen? Do Republicans usually reclaim things they’ve surrendered to the Dems?
Almost never but that just adds to list of gripes to campaign on so so much the better.
The GOP got a red whimper instead of a wave because nobody can pretend the same guy is really going to change anything this time around. The only novelty is that things are worse.
Some people need absentee and early voting. The huge majority don’t, but will take advantage.
I have more respect for child abusers than I do for any citizen who thinks it is “too difficult” to vote on election day and that voting by convenience is a right.
Methinks its about time American Elections were looked over and protected by a foreign country as people like Jimmy Carter went to various Nations to make sure they had a fair and decent election, he went there and nobody thought this rude, intrusive, or even insulting, so perhaps the same thing needs to happen across America, maybe the Venezuelans could send somebody as that could work out well for the DemocRATS.
We all know the 2020 election was stolen by Biden the DNC and the Globalists
