This election, many feel as do I, that it will be a Watermark in our history.. both as a country and as in the history of the world. One of the issues we are dealing with is Covid 19 of course.. it came on quick and caught us by surprise, but it really shouldn’t have. We’ve had many Pandemics in the past.. Global public health emergencies.. this one is often compared to the 1918 Flue Pandemic .. but I’d like to look at the differences for a second.. because in that we find some key reasons why we should be paying more attention. So looking at the differences, the first is the speed in which the virus spread.. that is the most concerning. The world is smaller.. because we are much more densely populated than in 1918. There were fewer than 2 billion people on the planet .. and now there are 7.5 billion.. and we are much more mobile. Voter Fraud has been one of my champion causes for years now… we are subjected to it in almost every election.. remember The weeks-long battle over "hanging chads" in the 2000 Florida Election? look at the 2018 congressional race in North Carolina that was overturned by the state election board. Or the mayor of Gordon, Alabama, who was removed from office last year after his conviction for absentee ballot fraud Or John and Grace Fleming both were found guilty of duplicate voting, once by absentee ballot in New Hampshire and then in person in Massachusetts. Voter Fraud exists, it is ever present, it is strong and organized .. and we say we value our Democracy and the power of the American elections.. one person one vote.. so much blood and lives have been spilt and taken to defend it, keep it and we honor all those who have paid the ultimate price for you to have it.. that we don’t require you to vote has always been beyond me.. but then again.. the whole point of a free society is that you have the freedom to be lazy and uninvolved. Just don’t bitch about who your leaders are if you’ve not voted, I don’t want to hear it from you. The argument, the simple mindset that Voter ID is Racists or that it is Voter suppression is laughable and so transparent. It is a Red Herring misdirect to keep the voting process hackable.. there is no other reason to be against Voter ID than to preserve the opportunity to steal a vote or two.. none at all... convince me otherwise. The Heritage Foundation made a list of some great points when it comes to the dangers of Mail in Ballots.. First, Absentee and Harvested ballots compromise the secret ballot process, a hallmark of U.S. elections for over 100 years. Absentee ballots are “the tool of choice” of vote thieves and those willing to compromise the election process. And according to U.S. Election Assistance Commission surveys, millions of mailed ballots have been misdirected or gone missing in prior elections. Electronic signatures are too imprecise and easily duplicated, and should not be accepted. This year’s election means Residents of some states may be forced to vote using mail-in ballots and that makes them vulnerable to intimidation, fraud, and chaos as all-mail-in elections move behind closed doors beyond the oversight of election officials, along with prolonged counting and potentially lengthy delays in certifying questionable results and of course my favorite.. the old .. hey we found a trunk load of uncounted ballots in some Random Poll workers car! It is important that we take reasonable steps to make it hard to cheat in elections while making it easy for legitimate voters to vote.
