Comments on: More thoughts on this Tuesday’s election

Recent polling among Democrat constituent groups has shown marked decline in support: single women, Latinos, Blacks…all down.
Democrats CANNOT get elected without their support, since they have obviously abandoned the white male vote.
This, to me, suggests that The Peopleâ„¢ aren’t dumb sheep, but it does take time for them to come around to the truth.
Why are some of these elections so close? I would say it’s lack of charisma on the parts of individual candidates, coupled with lack of confidence in the GOP, coupled with general disgust in government.

The Peopleâ„¢ aren’t turning toward Republicans so much as they are turning away from Democrats. But they ARE turning away.
I would call this a leadership/competence vacuum. Seems ripe for someone to step into.

But the other part of the equation is just as important: subtraction. Legitimate votes can be destroyed or deleted, and electronic machines make that easier than ever. This doesn’t get nearly enough attention, in my opinion.

“I also want states to share voter registration names, especially states next to each other, so that those registered in multiple states are caught.”

Needs to be nation wide. During the stolen election it came to light that a feral judge in Atlanta was voting in Seattle. We must have in person voting for all except military and Foreign Service. All others can travel home or not vote. Period.

Personal anecdote: I myself SWORE during the primaries that I would not vote for Romney if he became the nominee. I never liked him as a candidate to begin with, but there was a particular incident in one of the debates that made me go ballistic. I won’t go into it here, but you can find my comments in the archives if you hunt for them. Profanity was involved.

Yet when November rolled around, I DID vote for him. I can’t be the only one.

Absolutely agree, RickZ. I no longer have any confidence in the integrity of the voting process. There is just too much stress to the system, from proven cases of vote fraud punished with a slap on the wrist, no ID requirement, millions upon millions of illegals scattered in precincts throughout the country, to voting machine software that local election officials can’t possibly hope to understand.

With sophisticated statistical analysis of census data, vote fraud has been elevated to a science. It doesn’t have to be done on a “massive” scale, either. Quite the opposite: Crucial precincts can be identified, and a few votes can be added here or subtracted there. This makes it much more difficult to detect.

That last bit is important. We all hear stories of illegals voting, homeless people being bussed around and voting multiple times, ballots being found in the trunks of cars, and so on. These techniques all involve manufacturing or adding votes. But the other part of the equation is just as important: subtraction. Legitimate votes can be destroyed or deleted, and electronic machines make that easier than ever. This doesn’t get nearly enough attention, in my opinion.

If there was ever a “grit my teeth and crawl across broken glass” election, it was 2012. Yet to this day we still hear accusations from Republican moderates that conservatives stayed home and sulked rather than vote for Romney. Despite their seething rage at Obama, those principled conservatives just couldn’t sully themselves to vote for a RINO, and thus handed the election to Obama. It was their fault he won.

I don’t believe that happened at all. Those people voted, and their votes went missing. Not all of them; just enough in critical precincts.

So subtracting votes has an additional benefit for the fraudsters: It can cause members of the opposing party to turn on each other and engage in blaming and finger-pointing.

I have a bad feeling about Tuesday.

I have a simple solution for vote fraud (which doesn’t exist!). IMHO, vote fraud is treason as it goes against the Constitution. Since vote fraud convictions now only merit a tap on the wrist, at best, it’s time to elevate the penalties, make them draconian. I want the death penalty for those convicted of vote fraud. I want their executions public. I’m not kidding. The only way you make somebody think twice about committing vote fraud is to make the penalty so severe that they will not do it.

I also want states to share voter registration names, especially states next to each other, so that those registered in multiple states are caught. If my calling for the death penalty is too severe for some, then the permanent loss of franchise must be a part of the penalty for committing vote fraud. If caught voting again after losing one’s franchise, then LWOP is the sentence for a second conviction. Screw three strikes and your out when it comes to voting. Change the risk/reward for vote fraud from low risk and high reward to high risk and high reward. We’ll see how many want to play that game of Russian roulette.

Without electoral integrity, our Republic is whistling past its own graveyard.

Although I have no proof, and I am in flyover country, I sense that somewhere around 35% are instinctually conservative, 25% are leftists of various strpes, and 40% are blowing in the wind. The blowing in the wind people are easily swayed by the msm and celebrities. Until conservatives begin to make well reasoned arguments to the blowing in the wind crowd; they have no chance of forging a lasting majority. It should begin with give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach a man to fish and he eats for life.

Still, it’s obvious, isn’t it.

Can’t stand for God in an atheist age. Can you?

Can’t stand for truth in a post-modern age. Can you?

Can’t stand for responsibility in an envy age. Can you?

Can’t stand for a nation in a new world order age. Can you?

Well, if you can’t, you won’t get my vote.

Pholotics of smelling poop!

Maybe that’s all I hoped:

Weren’t there polls about a week ago showing the good news that Democrats’ favorability rating had tanked? And that the Republican’s rating was still worse. It is great if Republicans gain in the election but they are not making a case for any broad ideas, so it is hard to be encouraged.
