OPINION:
“The swamp” appears to be winning and may have won the latest presidential election. The idea that it is acceptable practice for sitting judges at any level to discount sworn affidavits describing election fraud is mind-boggling and should bring those judges’ removal from their benches. That multiple jurisdictions continue to rely upon the execrable Dominion vote-counting systems immediately brings into question the numbers they generate and the motives of those defending them. These days, Dominion equals fraud. Those supporting or defending Dominion suborn fraud. The jurisdictions in which the vote totals widely exceed the number of registered voters obviously experienced fraud.
What the electoral travesty teaches should be frightening to all Americans. The lessons are as follows: It’s OK to cheat in an election, in any way possible. The Democrats illustrated in California in 2018 and earlier some of the ways in which they would game the electoral safeguards to overcome their opponents, and they used all those tricks and more this year. Second, money talks. The monies distributed by Soros, Bloomberg, Steyer, Gates, et al, in their efforts to buy their desired electoral results are sickening. No one at the top besides President Trump seems to care that the elections were being bought.
Regardless of any voter’s preferred candidate, none of us should be proud of or confident in this election’s results. Fraud has been widespread and has been mostly ignored. How can anyone have confidence in our elections going forward? The entire presidential election should be re-voted with purged voter rolls, government-issued photo IDs, in-person, one-day, paper ballots that are hand-marked and hand-counted. It shouldn’t matter how long it takes.
