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.
