The Democrat playbook for stealing elections


 

Wayne Allyn Root presents the Democrat playbook for stealing elections:

. . .Because Fox News settled with Dominion, now the Marxist-controlled mainstream media will go into full bait-and-switch mode. They will claim “the case is settled and closed. It’s now proven the 2020 election wasn’t rigged and stolen.”

What a scam. What a con. This is the all-time bait and switch.

. . .

The 2020 election was stolen. . . .

And I believe elections are still being rigged and stolen. . . .

Here are some of Mr Root’s bullet points on HOW they do it:

  • No government-issued Voter (or photo) ID.
  • Mail-in ballots handed to everyone (in many states mass mailed to voters without even asking), without Voter ID.
  • Five states colluding to stop the vote count on election night- for the first time in history. 
  • Voter Rolls contain millions of inactive or improper registrations.

More bullet points and details here.

Phantom ballots: who is cleaning the voter rolls?



Jay Valentine at American Thinker has published a couple of columns expressing his concern:

You would think rational electioneers in the Republican Party would, in 2022, do everything to stop the election jiggering that took place in 2020.  You would be wrong.

And from his column yesterday:

Two years ago, most Americans thought phantom voters were comic book characters.  Nobody had ever seen one.

This week, we reached our 5,000th volunteer request (in 60 days) to help clean voter rolls — and we never asked for a single volunteer.  We are just technology guys.

Americans are fed up; they get it that their elected officials are not going to clean voter rolls.  Perhaps some people did not dig the Big Steal for the Trump election — but after Kari Lake, the Senate in Nevada, and dozens of local races, they are on fire now.

Mr Valentine’s Omega4America website is here. And he has expressed frustration at the lack of attention to election fraud from top politicians.

However, Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch mailed subscribers, including this blogger, the following message:

President Donald J. Trump, the 45th president of the United States, delivered the keynote address last night [Jan 19] at our 6th Judicial Watch Annual Roundtable, a private event, which was held at the Trump National Doral in Miami, FL.

President Trump engaged in a historic battle against government corruption and abuse, a battle that continues to this day. We are honored that he addressed and educated our supporters about the ongoing rule of law crisis that so threatens our Republic.

The Roundtable also featured important discussions on the election integrity crisis, the border crisis, the Left/government/Big Tech attack on free speech, the January 6 political prisoners, Biden corruption [emphasis added] and more!

This is good news:  President Trump participated in an event that directly addressed election integrity.  Judicial Watch is one of the few watchdog agencies that regularly files FOIA lawsuits to expose government corruption, and their recent conference tells us that they have their eye on the ball, so to speak.

Here’s one way to commit election fraud

 


Jay Valentine at American Thinker describes how to steal votes:

Database latency -- a geeky term, but that’s how they did it!

[DEFINITION via SnowPlow: Data latency is the time it takes for your data to become available in your database or data warehouse after an event occurs.]

A policeman pulls over a speeder.  The police computer reports that three hours ago a similar vehicle and person held up a liquor store -- so the police are on alert. 

No database latency.

County election managers change the zip code of 31,000 voters on September 3. Ballots go out that week.  Those 31,000 are undeliverable.  Someone collects those valid ballots.  On September 15th, those addresses are quietly changed back. 

National Change of Address Database (NCOA) will not pick up those address changes.  They didn’t happen because there is no history.

The 31,000 citizens were getting their mail just fine -- except for ballots.  Ballot addresses were driven by the county mail-in ballot database -- the one that was changed, then changed back.

Welcome to database latency. 

Our bad guy pals know they can change voter rolls, take an action, then change them back.  Who would know? 

A thousand voters are changed from inactive, voted, then changed back, and how would you ever know?  With lots of complex footwork, you could eventually tell from their voter history file -- months after the election.

. . .

To Republicans, election engineering is civics.  To Democrats, it’s business -- and they are great at it!

They know the Republicans have hundreds of diligent election sleuths working in basements and dining room tables checking voter rolls for the dead and the fakes.

They know those people rely on NCOA and Melissa and other highly latent services as their baseline.  If someone moved, it shows up in NCOA -- two months later.

A real voter moved.  They want to keep getting their St. Jude’s donation cards.  They fill in their NCOA form to get mail forwarded to their new address.  Our fraud detectives find this person -- and maybe someone voted for them. Cross out one phantom!

Our bad guys are happy to give up a few retail-level ballots to hide the wholesale-level ballot-gathering apparatus.  They count on it. . . .

And this tactic is but one of many used to steal elections.  Read Mr. Valentine’s full report here.

Stolen Elections : Now and Forever

 


If you are sitting on the fence wondering if the American election process really is utterly corrupt, Michael A. Bertolone at American Thinker has a simple response:

A common reply from Democrats and Bush family-allied Republicans to charges of election fraud in the 2020 and 2022 elections is that those making the charge have “had their day in court and failed to produce substantive evidence to make their case.” In fact, in July 2022, The Hill proudly proclaimed that a conservative group found ‘absolutely no evidence of widespread fraud’ in the 2020 election.  . . .

There’s a good reason that crime scenes are secured with yellow police line tape. It prevents criminals from tampering with and destroying evidence. In the case of the past two elections (2020 presidential and 2022 midterms), no such security measures were taken. In many cases, Democrats had full access to polling places and drop boxes, and had an army of “ballot harvesters” at their disposal. These conditions violated basic rules of evidence, in that the chain of custody was almost immediately broken. And when evidence is manipulated or destroyed, court cases attempting to rectify the transgressions are moot.

  • “This Wasn’t an Election: There Is No Ideological Component To Voter Fraud Whatsoever” (by Dan Gelernter at American Greatness); this report explains some of the ways elections are stolen, and Mr. Gelernter concludes:

It wasn’t the Democrats who stole the election in 2020. It was the politicians. The Democrats couldn’t have gotten away with it without the Republicans handing it to them and looking the other way.

And it just happened again.

What is an “Election Crimes Coordinator”?

 




Robert Spencer reports on how the “FBI Classifies ‘Misinformation’ as an ‘Election Crime’ ~ Stigmatizing and criminalizing all dissent.”  Here’s the first part at FrontPageMag:

The Biden regime’s notorious Disinformation Governance Board is dead (for now), but the regime’s quest to stigmatize and criminalize all dissent from its agenda is still very much alive. On Thursday, that indispensable team of actual journalists, Project Veritas, released a document entitled “2022 Midterm Elections Social Media Analysis Cheat Sheet” and subtitled “What Are Election Crimes?” This FBI document “details what FBI agents should look out for leading up to November 8.” Some of it really discusses what FBI agents should be looking out for: Election Interference, Election Fraud, Voter Intimidation, and the like. But included with all the other “Election Crimes” are the Left’s favorite euphemisms for true and accurate information that dissents from the Leftist agenda: “Disinformation” and “Misinformation.”

The “Election Crimes” document defines “Disinformation” as “false or inaccurate information intended to mislead others,” adding that “disinformation campaigns on social media are used to deliberately confuse, trick, or upset the public.” “Misinformation” is “false or misleading information spread mistakenly or unintentionally.”

Back on June 30, J. Christian Adams revealed at PJ Media that the FBI was working with the Democracy Fund, “a hyper-funded progressive money source,” on election issues. Among the FBI officials implicated in this partisan and corrupt collusion was Lindsay Capodilupo, who was identified as the FBI’s “Election Crimes Coordinator.”

Now, there are a lot of great titles in the world, but Lindsay Capodilupo must be proud to have one of the absolute greatest. With the FBI all in on the Russian Collusion hoax, it’s unclear whether the “Election Crimes Coordinator” is actually fighting against “election crimes” or coordinating and implementing them, and that’s just perfect for Merrick Garland’s desperately corrupt and politicized FBI.

The Amoral Compass of the Progressive Left

 



James Patrick Riley at American Greatness opens his own eyes to election fraud and the amoral compass of the Progressive Left. Here’s an excerpt:

. . . They have designed [voting] systems that can’t be audited. What good do you accomplish recounting a stuffed ballot box? How do you really know that pallet of mail-in ballots from a conservative precinct didn’t go missing? If we aren’t required to show up in person with tamper-proof ID, how can we account for all those ballots consigned to the mail? Are you really telling me one postal worker couldn’t forget to deliver the 10,000 votes it might take to swing a congressional district? Aren’t you at least a little bit worried about the “2,000 Mules” reality—single individuals making hundreds of ballot drops?

I made the mistake of thinking someone on the other side really cares. They don’t. They have no problem with voter fraud because it serves them. If it served us, they would care mightily about it.

Meantime, we project virtue where it doesn’t exist. They are at war, and they use the conventions of war to justify breaking all 10 of the commandments. We watch them do it without apology, and we think “asking nicely” will appeal to their conscience, but that was destroyed years ago. They have stolen most of our public institutions. The very institutions you thought were protecting you have been made over in their image.

So, no matter how we choose to fight them, and whatever tools we use, we need to remember this: they see themselves as soldiers in a battle, where any and all mayhem is allowed. We need to act accordingly.

If someone no longer has a conscience,
there is no sense in appealing to it.

Full story is here.

2000 Mules: “pulling the ripcord”

 


Andrea Widburg at American Thinker has the follow-up to Dinesh D’Souza’s documentary 2000 Mules:

In his smash-hit move, 2000 Mules, Dinesh D'Souza carefully, and entertainingly, demonstrated how True the Vote, a voter integrity organization, was able to prove incontrovertibly that left-wing non-profits used mules to stuff ballots, bringing in, at a minimum, hundreds of thousands of Biden votes in swing states.  The movie, however, describes the data without releasing them and does not identify the non-profits.  Now, though, True the Vote is planning to publish everything.  That's an information bomb that should blow apart any claims that Biden's victory wasn't the result of massive fraud.

The genius of True the Vote was that it figured out how to use commercially available cell phone location data, along with videos of drop boxes, to prove that, in the five critical swing states that gave the election to Joe Biden, leftist non-profits used mules to deliver dozens of ballots to drop boxes.  The numbers are staggering: at a minimum, 400,000 illegal ballots in the states that turned the election in Biden's favor.

In the review I wrote about the movie, I explained in somewhat more detail how the program worked, but I urge you to see the film for yourself.  The only thing I found a bit disappointing was the fact that the movie did not name the non-profits involved.

Well, that disappointment is over. True the Vote has announced that, in a few weeks, it will make available to the public every single bit of information it has regarding the drop-box fraud.  Or, as Catherine Engelbrecht, who founded True the Vote, calls it, pulling the ripcord . . .

Read the rest of Ms. Widburg’s column here.  The evidence is in, and the “fact-checkers” she quotes are just blowing smoke.  My usual question remains: will anyone be indicted?

Dinesh D’Souza’s “2000 Mules” is now accessible online

 


Dinesh D’Souza’s “2000 Mules” is now available [accessible online, just not for free].  This film has been getting rave reviews (see J D Rucker's here), and The Right Scoop has details and links to access the documentary:

“They thought we’d never find out. They were wrong.” That’s what filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza says about his new film “2000 Mules” about the 2020 election.

The website at Rumble’s Locals describes the documentary this way: It “exposes widespread, coordinated voter fraud in the 2020 election, sufficient to change the overall outcome.”

“Drawing on research provided by the election integrity group True the Vote, ‘2000 Mules’ offers two types of evidence: geotracking and video. The geotracking evidence, based on a database of 10 trillion cell phone pings, exposes an elaborate network of paid professional operatives called mules delivering fraudulent and illegal votes to mail-in dropboxes in the five key states where the election was decided. Video evidence, obtained from official surveillance cameras installed by the states themselves, confirms the geotracking evidence. The movie concludes by exploring numerous ways to prevent the fraud from happening again.”

That Geotracking data is something that True the Vote and Donald Trump have talked about a great deal over the last year.

More on HR1 ~ now in the Senate

 


At the Patriot Post, Hans von Spakovsky explains why the mis-named “For The People Act” – HR 1, is bad news for Americans:

8 Ways That HR 1, 'For the People Act,'
Imperils Free and Fair Elections

It would not only eliminate basic safety protocols, but mandate new, reckless rules and procedures.

HR 1, the deceptively titled “For the People Act,” has arrived in the U.S. Senate after a party-line vote in the House of Representatives. It is without doubt the most dangerous and irresponsible election bill I have ever seen.

If it becomes law, it will interfere with the ability of states and their residents to determine the qualifications and eligibility of voters, to ensure the accuracy and validity of voter registration rolls, to secure the integrity of elections, and to participate and speak freely in the political arena.

HR 1 is an 800-page monstrosity that would usurp the role of the states. It would not only eliminate basic safety protocols, but mandate new, reckless rules and procedures.

Mr. von Spakovsky then enumerates the eight worst provisions of this ill-considered bill.  Click here for the full article.

I don’t know if it will do any good to call decepticon Sen. Rob Portman, but here’s his contact info anyway:

HR1: Legislation to make Election Fraud -Permanent - Action Alert

 


Louis Debroux sounds the alarm at Patriot Post:

HR 1 Makes Election Fraud & Chaos Permanent

The Democrat legislation aims to secure their power by any and all means necessary.

If you liked the dozens of post-election lawsuits, the ballot recounts and audits, and the utter chaos and anger that prevailed after the 2020 elections, then you’ll absolutely love the Democrats’ top legislative priority this year — passage of HR 1, the ludicrously named “For the People Act.”

With a House vote expected this week, the 791-page HR 1 is a massive power grab by Democrats that takes the worst aspects of the 2020 elections and puts them into federal law. Democrats aim to dictate from Capitol Hill election law for every single state, county, and city. HR 1 intentionally weakens election security, creating the very lawlessness and discord that made the last election such a nightmare and guaranteeing that it’s the norm for all future elections.

Veteran political reporter John Fund calls it “the worst piece of legislation I have even seen in my 40 years reporting from Washington.”

For example, HR 1 would greatly expand mail-in voting, despite election officials warning that mail-in voting fraud is “vastly more prevalent than the in-person voting fraud.” The CalTech/MIT Voting Technology Project advised states to end mail-in voting because of the “significant cost to the real and perceived integrity of the voting process.” Even The New York Times admits mail-in balloting not only makes it “much easier” to buy and sell votes but also makes voters, especially elderly voters, vulnerable to fraud, threats, and coercion.

In many states that vote by mail, registered voters are automatically mailed a ballot. Yet these states tend to have poorly maintained voter rolls that have not been updated to exclude those who have died or moved, making it child’s play to illegally cast a ballot in ways that appear legal. In California, it took a lawsuit by watchdog Judicial Watch to force California to begin removing more than five million ineligible voters from state rolls.

The bill would also force states to accept mail-in ballots for 10 days after Election Day.

Much more on HR1  here.

My Pillow guy Mike Lindell: Absolute Proof

 

image credit: The Right Scoop


Mike Lindell has put together a documentary about the massive election fraud in the 2020 election.  Title:  Absolute Proof.  He’s produced it on his own dime and paid for airtime on One America News (OAN) over this weekend.  You can access the broadcast schedule here.  (Note: OAN runs a complete disclaimer prior to the program;  Dominion has been suing anyone pushing these, ahem, "conspiracy theories" of voter fraud, and OAN is obviously protecting itself from legal attacks.  YouTube has already taken down the documentary.  But OAN is running it multiple times this weekend.)  Or you can click here for The Right Scoop blog report with some video.

I found the documentary a bit slow-going, and if you’ve been following the endless videos, sworn testimonies, anomalies, etc., you will already know much of the evidence of fraud.  But if you have not followed it, it is a good resource. 

Our household doesn’t need more sheets and pillows, but we bought some anyway from My Pillow.  Thank you, Mike Lindell!

Dwindling conservative TV news

 


Most of us thought that NewsMax and One America News (OAN) were viable alternatives to the mainstream media, including, sadly, Fox.  Now NewsMax has gone to the dark side.  The clip of My Pillow guy Mike Lindell attempting to discuss Dominion voter fraud prompted the host, Bob Sellers, to walk off the set;  you can watch the video on OAN here.

Even One America News can present conflicting reports.  Yesterday, Dan Ball on Real America reported that DC Officer Brian Sicknick’s death was caused by having been struck in the head during the DC riot on January 6 by someone wielding a fire extinguisher.  But we also read that the officer in fact died of some other cause, perhaps related to interaction with a chemical irritant;  see John Nolte’s report at Breitbart here. Kara McKinney reported on TIpping Point that the Officer's cause of death was uncertain. 

It is getting more and more difficult to distinguish between media lies and reliable reporting on television or cable news.  Now NewsMax is crossed off of our list.  Our household relies more and more on online sources and aggregators.

Election fraud indicators


If you are having a hard time following all the election fraud hearings, threads, and updates, you are not alone.  Over at American Thinker, Andrea Widburg has a summary of 20 points that indicate massive election fraud (“A compilation of twenty alleged election 'facts' that don't pass the smell test”).  If you want to follow up on any of these summary points, she links to her sources -- reports, analyses, videos, etc. Here are four of her points:

Then there are the indicia of fraud that Dr. Navid Kershavarz-Nia detailed:

9. The fact that Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada, and Georgia simultaneously pretended to halt ballot-counting while continuing to count is evidence of election fraud collusion.

10. Optical scanners were set to accept unverified, un-validated ballots.

11. The scanners were almost certainly programmed to fail to keep audit records.

12. In the contested states, the voting machines were alleged to have processed hundreds of thousands of ballots within a short time, which is a physical impossibility.

The rest is here.

Election 2020 "will never be resolved"

 


Roger L. Simon’s “ The Disastrous 2020 Election Will Never Be Resolved” is behind a paywall at The Epoch Times,  but Instapundit has posted this extract:

It all began with mail-in voting—that scandal-ready procedure that was the electoral equivalent of flying over American states in B-52s as if they were behind enemy lines and dropping ballots at random.

If one were to design a system by which a democracy could be subverted, even destroyed, universal mail-in voting (not, of course, normal absentee voting that requires the citizen to request a ballot) would be at or near the top of a list.

What could go wrong?

It’s not just the obvious—dead people voting, people who left the state voting, illegal aliens voting, signatures no one could possibly recognize being authenticated, signatures with no record, envelopes being back-dated, ballots found in gullies, ballots dumped in gullies, ballot harvesting, foreign agents voting surreptitiously en masse, deadlines that keep moving like the proverbial goal posts, and who knows what.

It’s an actual guarantee of chaos—and that’s what we had and have.

No one will ever really know what happened.

The pandemic was the excuse, but I strongly suspect it was more than that. I suspect, in fact I’m sure, that the intention of some was to utilize the pandemic to institute mail-in voting because they knew it would create this chaos, almost like an Antifa for the electoral system.

How do we know it was in some ways intentional?

There was plenty of warning. Just this June, 223,000 ballots in Nevada’s Clark County—17 percent of that county’s electorate that includes Las Vegas—were sent willy-nilly to the wrong addresses for their primary, according to the Public Interest Legal Foundation.

No evidence has been forthcoming that this was corrected. PILF president and general legal counsel J. Christian Adams calls mail-in voting “chaos that lends itself to fraud.”

PILF has posted a rather droll video—if it weren’t so depressing—of their investigators going to some of these registration addresses that turn out to be commercial businesses, not homes, where the putative voter may or may not have once been employed (in some cases no one seems to have heard of them). These include an abandoned mine, of all things.

If you have access to The Epoch Times, the full article is here.

The margin of fraud

 

image via PowerLine

At Front Page, Daniel Greenfield fills in some of the blanks on the massive voter fraud we are witnessing:

One of the unprecedented things about this election, in the year from hell, is that the amount of mail-in ballots, of ballot harvesting, made the voter fraud margin so much bigger. Democrats had set the ground by seizing control of key states and key positions in them in preparation for the election. And even where they didn't, their machines got busy. 

This was always going to happen. It happens every election, but the scale of it is different. As are the stakes.

I don't have to state the obvious about all the Biden votes that "magically" showed up, about why vote counting was suddenly suspended, or why totals suddenly stopped being updated for no apparent reason.

These are symptoms of voter fraud. It's a "Hacks at Work" sign being hung up outside the door.

If there is an upside to any of this, Mr. Greenfield suggests that

The post-election street fight is a test of how big the voter margin fraud can get, how many more votes can be discovered than there are people, and how many ballots can magically show up overnight.

And even if the street fight is lost, it's worth fighting because it exposes the lie behind the legitimacy of the powers trying to take over the White House. 

They couldn't steal the election in the daylight, so they had to do it in the dead of night. They couldn't steal it in empty halls, so they had to do it after everyone went home. And the more their lie is challenged, the weaker their power becomes, and the more they have to resort to blatant thuggery to wield it.

That's what happened on Election Day. 

Read the rest here.  And it's not over.

Harvesting Granny

 



George Parry’s columns appear at his own website, knowledgeisgood.net, and also at The American Spectator.  His column today looks at ballot harvesting today through his own first-hand perspective.  Here’s an excerpt:

In the latest creative political use of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Democrats are warning that we will be risking infection if we vote in person at the polls. So it is that the Democrats are promoting yet another new public health protocol: voting by mail instead of risking death at the polls. Apparently, while it is safe enough to socially distance at the supermarket, the pharmacy, or big box stores, polling places will be COVID-19 death traps. So, to save lives, the ever-thoughtful Democrats insist that, in the upcoming presidential election, we stay safe by using the mail-in ballots being sent to every registered voter — living or dead — on a massive scale never before attempted in American history.

President Trump and others have raised the warning of potential voter fraud posed by the widespread use of universal, unrequested mail-in ballots. In response, the Democrats insist that there is no evidence supporting Trump’s claim. But, if history and common sense are any guides, mail-in ballots will make it easier for Democrats to “harvest the votes” of those living or dead who will have no role in casting them.

The term of political art for this practice when used in nursing homes is “granny harvesting.” The confused or mentally disabled residents need only sign their names to the ballots, and others will fill in the rest. As illegal, outrageous, and damaging to democracy as this scam may be, the use of mail-in ballots will be a far more humane and efficient way to steal the election than transporting busloads of enfeebled and confused senior citizens from nursing homes to polling places and escorting them into the voting booth to make sure they vote the right way. It also eliminates the need to abandon the occasional old-timer who won’t play ball. After all, as I can tell you from personal experience, an abandoned, desperate, and sobbing white-haired granny in a wheelchair is a bad look for the Party of Compassion.

So will the Democrats try to steal the 2020 election by harvesting mail-in ballots? Why wouldn’t they? If indeed the past is prologue, then we should not expect the party whose operatives corrupted our intelligence agencies to spy on candidate Donald Trump, attempted to frame President Trump for nonexistent collusion with Russia, and impeached him without a scintilla of justification, to hesitate for a nanosecond to use universal mail-in ballots to harvest the “votes” of grannies, convicts, and dead people to defeat the one man who stands between them and their dream of total control of our lives.

Read the rest here. Our household will be voting in person on Election Day.

Early voting is a bad idea: just look at this election cycle

 


Matt Margolis at PJ Media explains why early voting is such a bad idea. He concludes:

While it’s difficult for most of us to fathom the possibility that something could happen to change one’s mind about who they plan to vote for, it’s obvious that it can happen, and it appears to be happening right now. When this election is over we need to have a serious look at how voting is done in this country. Early voting is a cancer on the electoral process that can disenfranchise voters who aren’t 100 percent committed to either candidate.

Early voting, outright voter fraud, and moving the deadlines for counting mail-in ballots, are creating election chaos – which is just what the Democrat Progressive party wants. And Mr. Margolis recommends that after this election, "we need to have a serious look at how voting is done in this country.”  Hmmm.  That is, if we still have a country after this election.  (Full article by Mr. Margolis is here.)

Voting Alone

 


Howard Husock explains why he will be voting on Election Day.  In a column at City Journal,  Mr. Husock's column starts off (h/t Stephen Green at Instapundit):

Voting Alone : Why I won’t be casting my ballot early—and why you shouldn’t, either.

Even as the presidential campaign continues, an estimated 6 million Americans in 27 states have already voted. Early voting is now a fact of electoral life. I will not be joining in the habit, however—and I urge you not to do so, either.

Voting early is akin to boxing referees declaring one fighter the winner on points halfway through the bout—not knowing that a knockout punch was on its way. It may be hard to imagine what revelation about the candidates, at this point, would make much of a difference. But history has demonstrated such possibilities. 

Even before the Hunter Biden laptop made its way into the headlines.  The rest of Mr. Husock’s column is here.

Panic at the Polls?

 


Alan Bergstein column at American Thinker today is titled “It’s Starting to Look Ugly for Democrats.”  It’s hard to know for sure.  Most of the alternative media sources that I go to are split between predicting a Trump landslide and a Biden landslide.  Jokers in the deck include missing ballots, fake polls, outright voter fraud and ballot harvesting, and ongoing attempts to undermine election deadlines, voter ID requirements, and so on. Anyway, here is Mr. Bergstein’s conclusion:

The foundation of Biden's campaign is cracking.  Something drastic has to be done, now at the finish line, to panic the voters, to short-circuit the voting process, to divert voters' attention, to basically destroy the election and eventually declare the outcome null and void.  How to do this and what to expect in the days ahead?  Nothing's off the table for the radical left.

Look for those vandalous thugs in the armies of the BLM and Antifa, who, in recent years, were in Spring Training, to be called out in the next two weeks to strike fear into the hearts of America.  If polling places were to be vandalized and destroyed prior to November 3, could there not be a demand by the Schumers and Pelosis to call the election null and void due to "the denial of voting opportunities"?  If vehicles toting completed ballots were hijacked, what then of a reliable count?  Do you recall the two Black Panthers in Philadelphia during the 2008 voting process who physically and verbally intimidated voters in front of a polling station to vote in support of Barack Obama?  They were exonerated by Obama's wing man, Eric Holder.  It worked then for the Democrats, and look for more like that to occur by November 3.

The Democrats cannot afford to lose this election. If they do, they have no one else to blame but their leaders.  The effrontery to all of us to put an obviously ailing and incoherent Joe Biden for the top spot and for the V.P., Kamala Harris, who couldn't even carry her own state in the primaries, indicates their lack of judgment.  They are at wit's end and will risk the destruction of the nation to regain power.  They are capable of anything.  And that's scary.  Watch out!
