The other day at American
Greatness, Dan Gelernter explained “Why Your Vote Won’t Count.” He expects Terry McAuliffe to steal the
upcoming Virginia gubernatorial election, just as he predicted that Gavin
Newsom would beat the recall vote in California. He thinks the game is rigged. Those of us who follow Sundance and the Uniparty arguments will easily understand Mr. Gelernter’s main point:
The thing that ultimately renders
our elections meaningless is people like Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell
(R-Ky.), Republican National Committee Chairman Ronna McDaniel and Georgia
Governor Brian Kemp. They are
the most important allies in the conspiracy to steal our elections, precisely
because we expect them to be fighting on our side. Fraudulent elections cost
Republicans seats—cost Republicans the presidency—so why wouldn’t the most powerful people
in the Republican Party be fighting just as hard as they could to expose fraud
and pass laws requiring in-person voting with ID?
Here’s the secret answer: These
people hate you. Sure,
they’re willing to pay lip service to America as a great nation, to churchgoing
values, and so forth. But they’re really just Democrats with different special
interests: They want to funnel all your money to military contractors instead
of environmentalists. People like Donald Trump interfere with that. People
like you interfere with that. Because you want the government to mind
its own goddamned business. And, on that issue, Mitch McConnell is united with
Senator Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) against you.
These people live for power. They
exist for the pleasure of spending your money to retain that power. And, now
that they’ve managed to separate that power from public accountability by
legalizing mail-in, no-ID, drop-box, multiple-ballot, and similar voting
practices, you think they’re going to give all that up?
. . .
Unfortunately, Mr. Gelernter solution is a “Constitutional Convention that restores our elections to their original format: Voting
on election day, and in-person.”
But a Constitutional Convention is not necessary; the states can fix election laws on their
own. Yet what we are seeing right now in Michigan is that it’s always an uphill battle.
