The Election Mess Is a Feature, Not a Bug
People thinking there will be a “red wave” tonight are going to be disappointed. Not because a lot of people won’t vote Republican. It’s because our elections are no longer resolved on election night. They are resolved through a long, agonizing street fight in the courts over what votes get counted and what don’t. I won’t be staying up to watch the returns tonight.
That’s the point of the Democrat push for mail-in voting, early voting and the general resistance to any voting integrity laws. I don’t think it is necessarily because they have specific plans for fraud. It’s because a chaotic election that gets resolved through post-election bureaucracies will always favor them, the party of bureaucrats. The left is always about results not process, and if destroying the process gets them better results, then so be it.
It’s laughable seeing pundits talk about races where the Republican is up +2 or +3, and what it will mean for congressional majorities on election night. A critical election where the Republican wins by +2 on election night will not be resolved on election night. It will be resolved months from now, after the election bureaucrats pull every trick they know to push the Dem over the line. All the loose voting rules just given them room to maneuver, that is their only point. It’s disgusting and embarrassing, but that is where we are now, and I can’t watch it anymore. It’s too nauseating.

Fetterman (or his puppet masters) is already demanding that unverified, undated ballots be counted. This’ll go to court.
I wonder how many were observers and how many were actual poll workers. There has been a big push to increase the number of election observers by a lot of GOP campaigns. They are generally prohibited from interacting with voters.
It’s reality. The vast majority of poll workers are people who work just on election day. They aren’t full time government employees or activists. In most of the small towns I live near, the election staff is indistinguishable from the local church basement ladies.
That’s why these conspiracy theories are so ridiculous. The number of people who would need to be in on it is astounding.
Assume for the sake of argument that Blue States do not follow Florida’s lead. Why wouldn’t they do so?
So election corruption must be done via a vast conspiracy, or it can’t happen at all?
How about initiating mail-in voting with loose accounting, in the knowledge that more Democrat votes are likely to come in this way than Republican? Is it crazy conspiracy thinking to suppose that Democrat state officials accept mail-in voting for this reason?
Not really. My friends who work the polls can attest: lots of sketchy stuff goes on even at the local level in the small cities.
So some places are relatively safe and secure while other places – uh, not so much?
I think it might be time to get the UN in to monitor our Third World elections.
Missed a good opportunity to arrest some Feds.
You mean there is a solution, if you could get the Dems to go along with it. They fight every election integrity measure tooth and nail, and through the courts.
