Trust in the integrity of the voting process — 12 Comments

  1. I don’t think we do signature comparison on mailed absentee ballots in NC. What we do, rather, is require the voter to request an absentee ballot, and to require a copy of the voter’s photo ID with the return envelope, along with voter and witness signature. Election workers check the voter’s eligibility and ID before approving the ballot to be counted. And no mass mailings of ballots.

    Electronic voting machines should be outlawed everywhere, replaced by paper ballots and optical scan tabulators which do not have an internet connection.

  2. Pennsylvania once in a primary I had to show ID, Democrats scratched that by the election.
    I have 0 trust in mail and electronic voting, both are so fraught with potential fraud it isn’t funny.
    My thinking is they need to cheat and win at all cost. I would bet we will see that in a week.

  3. According to [Michigan’s] QVF records, there are “114,545 Michigan voters who have cast 279,113 ballots from multiple addresses across the state. This results in 164,568 excess ballots as of 10/29/2024.”

    Already that’s more than Biden’s 2020 margin for Michigan.

    Given these kind of shenanigans it seems premature to start looking for issues that may have lost the Presidential election: the election would need to be decided by legitimately voted ballots before that could even be an issue.

    It’s being stolen right now as we watch.

  4. Niketas,
    No disrespect, but please don’t use the word “shenanigans” for this. I know many do. A shenanigan is dropping an ice cube down somebody’s shirt. This is extreme fraud. One of the most destructive to the foundation of democracy.

    I recall the moment in my youth when I discovered that places like the Soviet Union held elections. Really, I thought? Oh, entirely bogus elections.

  5. And WRT Michigan, it looks like we’re well on our way to another round of free, fair and transparent elections.
    (No doubt the mostest ever…)

  6. Pretending that abortion is the main issue might be window dressing for vote fraud. Exit polling would reveal something, but how do you exit poll mail-in voters?

  7. @Banned Lizard:Pretending that abortion is the main issue

    Given the narrow margins in the swing states, ANY issue could be presented as the issue that cost the election. Something that only matters to one-eared sewer scrubbers, perhaps.

    Given the lack of security in the ballots and their counting, I’d say THAT’s the REAL issue.

  8. I guess the impossibility of exit polling mail-in voters is the reason why it’s going to take till Kingdom Come to decide who wins? It’s also a nice cover for the shenanigans going on behind the scenes.

  9. Neo, your list of election integrity proposals is a list of very reasonable things. So reasonable that one can’t object to them all and be plausibly concerned with election integrity. Yet the Democrats do object to them all, both at the top of the party and in the rank-and-file.

    So one can only conclude that the Democrats as a whole intend to cheat — indeed are already cheating — and the Democrat rank-and-file are OK with that.

    Combine that with the widespread belief among Trump supporters that he is going to win in a landslide, and you can see the danger we’re in. This can’t end well. Exactly how it fails and how much misery ensues are still open questions, but we’re in for a lot of pain as a country if things proceed as predicted.

    And yet all I see from the Democrats is “Full speed ahead” with their radical agenda, many seemingly oblivious to what’s about to happen and many others actually relishing it.

    Which I guess is a long-winded way of saying the second-most quoted line from Star Wars: I’ve got a bad feeling about this.

  10. So one can only conclude that the Democrats as a whole intend to cheat — indeed are already cheating — and the Democrat rank-and-file are OK with that.

    mkent:

    My impression is that rank-and-file Dems keep that as a very vague impression.

    It’s not in their personal interest to question such things. Besides the Other Side is So Bad.

    Yes, we are entering new, dangerous territory. I’m optimistic Trump will win, but what happens before, during or after that depends on how the Deep State wants to play it.

    The Deep State isn’t just looking at a setback; they are looking at decapitation. They won’t like that.
