The ballots are prepared and voted – not by the illegals – by the party operatives. The ballots are taken to the proper county authority to be placed in with the real ballots. This is easy when ballots can be dropped in collection boxes off site, as we do here in Washington.

The counting is done by “reliable” state employees. Even if observed by both parties, it all looks normal.

What I’ve described above is what I believe is happening in Washington state and other states where keeping illegal, dead, and moved voters from casting a ballot is almost impossible. The Democrats have been setting this up for some years now. I would wager it’s in operation in all states with mail in ballots.

Until they can prove I’m wrong, that’s my considered opinion about how they win sweepings statewide victories with candidates like Jay Inslee, Patty Murray, and Maria Cantwell – mediocrities all.

They need to prove that non-citizens are NOT voting.

This isn’t a case in court where guilt needs to be proved. This is about them asking us to just trust them and us telling them that they need to prove trustworthy.

It’s to laugh.

In this day and age, it is completely possible to design a system that verifies personal vote choices. Until such a system is implemented, our elections are a farce.

After the election, news came to light that some of the outfits that prepared immigrants for citizenship had illegally registered their students to vote before the students had actually become citizens…

We were told at the time that there weren’t enough illegal votes to influence the election. But…

That would be bad enough, given that there is no way to determine if those voting had any knowledge of the issues involved rather than some general idea about the “like” or “dislike” based on personality of the candidate.

We are doomed.

I support a constitutional amendment to address federal voting (Congress and the Presidency) that could turn it around … maybe, but it’s worth a try. In-person election day voting, with a limited early voting period (say 1-2 weeks prior to election day), make election day a national holiday, voter ID, citizens only. So weird to say citizens only, but we have devolved to that. Carve outs for legit absentee voters, of course. I was an absentee voter myself for decades when serving overseas as a diplomat, in charged of the absentee voter portfolio at several embassies, so I get that.

These are just a few ideas. They should be put forward with vigor and confidence, without apologies. Call out the opponents in a straightforward manner for what they are and really want – America haters who wish for the dissolution of the country.

Not just them, but students and H1Bs.

In my home state they still offer driver’s licenses that don’t meet the specs of the REALID act. Illegal aliens routinely get state-issued driver’s licenses and if they’re not sure how to do it the good folks at the Department of Licensing help them. Supposedly there is a date after which these drivers’ licenses will become invalid for air travel, but for mysterious reasons Department of Homeland Security keeps pushing the date back.

My home state puts illegals on Medicaid now, they also get food stamps and other taxpayer-funded benefits.
