How Democrats Steal Elections
The reality is that in the 2016 election it now takes more than a majority for a Republican to win.
Romney, for example, won about two thirds of all precincts nationwide and probably got in the range of 55% of the verifiable vote, but lost the election to nearly unanimous Obama support from nearly 100% turnout of potentially eligible voters in inner city precincts in key states like Ohio, where the certainty of being accused of racism for even thinking you couldn't get that level of turnout for a week of free pizza and beer prevented any form of verification.
Electoral cheating has probably existed since the second election ever held, but cheating by American Democrats has now reached levels never seen before in a major democracy. Basically what seems to have happened to electoral integrity is akin to the fate of the legendary frog in water slowly brought to a boil with conservatives only marginally aware that a a lot of small battles are being lost and the Democrats relentlessly pursuing four closely linked, long term, and deeply dishonorable, national policies:
- Democrats hide the extent of fraud by combining a line of patter denying the existence of voter fraud while accusing Republicans of it with media blitzes publicizing and denigrating isolated, and often not very credible, claims like those that some voting machine somewhere mis-recorded a few conservative votes as liberal.
This
is stagecraft 101 for magicians and propagandists alike: focusing
audience attention on the insignificance of the occasional process
failure in elections where millions of votes are counted while
simultaneously raising emotional and credibility barriers against those
who might otherwise get people to look a bit more carefully at what
other members of the Democrat team are doing.
- The Secretary of State Project, (apparently originally funded by George Soros) which seeks to put Democrats in charge of both the voting, and the vote counting, processes has now succeeded to the point that a majority of American voters are affected.
Key strategies implemented by these apparatchiks include:
- Fighting the use of voter id and/or voter list verification though any means possible including slow walking legislated implementations, lawfare, inviting federal intrusion into state matters, and directing state and local authority funds aimed at remediation toward the acquisition and use of dysfunctional technologies with long histories of delay, uncontrolled cost escalation, and eventual failure;
- Developing and perpetuating utterly ineffective processes for delivering or counting military ballots (which tend to favor Republicans);
- Refusing to reform equally incompetent and ineffective processes for preventing felons, illegals, or the dead (all of whom tend to vote Democrat) from swaying elections; and,
- Extending the duration of, while weakening eligibility and verification criteria for, all forms of advance voting.
- Using litigation, and the threat of litigation, to sway electoral process decisions in favor of Democrats and against Republicans.
Democrats
see lawfare, and more importantly the threat of lawfare, as a perfectly
legitimate way to win elections. Thus their tendency to publically
stress their commitment to having lawyers present during the counting
and related processes for close elections, coupled with their actual
commitment to challenging all close losses by filing lawsuits naming
everyone involved anywhere in the process, forces electoral officials
facing difficult decisions to choose between the mild criticism they can
expect from Republicans if they decide for the Democrat and the near
certainty of a starring role in Democrat lawsuits to be heard by
Democrat judges amid unrelenting, unprincipled, and deeply personal
media attacks if they decide against the Democrat.
- Encouraging the proliferation of system disconnects in advance vote and vote counting processes. In particular abuse of the Help America Vote Act (2002) has enabled Democrats to insert significant new opportunities for voting fraud into the system.
For
example, the use of Wintel (Windows on Intel) architecture voting
machines usually justifies the use of precinct level "servers" to
collect local data that is then passed to other servers "up" the
counting hierarchy. Since each level uses programmable machines that can
be subverted, each such disconnect offers multiple opportunities for
fraud.
For
example, servers at or above the precinct level can safely add entirely
fictitious votes to the count provided that total turnout does not
become so absurd as to attract attention, the fraudster has the list of
advance voters, and either the list of people who voted at the precinct
is electronic or the fraudster has the access needed to either replace
or modify the precinct's paper records. In this situation the modified
data from the server passes into the totals unnoticed during the rush to
the count, while the immediate post election lassitude affecting those
involved in high pressure, late night, activities provides the time and
opportunities needed to adjust precinct records to cover the lie. This
is fairly easy to do and relatively low risk because a Democrat win on
the first count means that no one of consequence will question the
result while cursory reviews will show that the number of votes counted
for each affected precinct is within one or two of the number of voters
-- and, of course, Democrat judges can be counted on to admit missing
ballots produced at leisure and "found" in somebody's car or a church basement in the rare event that the Republican hangs in long enough to force a physical count.
The bottom line on this is simple: the analogical frog needs to jump, and right now, if the 2016 and subsequent American elections are to be won by 50% + 1, and not by combining 40 something percent with fraud and a compliant judiciary.
It's too late to radically change the voting or vote management processes for 2016, but legislators now in office can move immediately to remove or limit the use of lawfare to affect electoral process decisions. In particular, it shouldn't take a Bader Ginsburg outburst to show that the much of the judiciary has become deeply politicized, is correspondingly unfit to render impartial judgement on deeply political issues, and should therefore not be called on to settle electoral disputes -- meaning that other means of settlement, such as legislative committees or investigative juries made up entirely of retired police officers, must be found and empowered.
