Hello readers and my dear subscribers, this post is an outline of the many ways that a dishonest campaign exploit weaknesses existing in past US elections – up to recent days. There are those persons who lie by saying that, “there are no failures in our system”.
For all those people who do not believe there is such a thing, this post should be of use to us in knowing otherwise and being armed with the truth about it. I will quote information from a US law group, here in the following 8 points, which I’ve re-worded, to express their own assertions which they have shared with us:
- States have ‘voter rolls’ containing names of ineligible voters. States have an obligation to clear names and false identities from their voter rolls, yet fictitious names can be used to push votes in a certain direction, if those names are knowingly being used rather than discarded from the rolls.
- Mail-in ballot systems have a weakness in that a person or group can gather ballots and then discard those that have results unfavorable to their vote preferences.
- Ballot ‘harvesting’, is the practice of gathering ballots from other voters (containing favorable votes) and submitting them to be counted, while discarding oppositional votes from being cast.
- ‘Automatic-voter-registration’ in some States, defies a voter’s responsibility to affirm that they are an eligible, citizen, voter. While ‘opting out’ of registration is the responsibility of an ineligible voter, the enforcement is too lax or entirely non existent when policing ineligible voters.
- Similar to the prior 4th point, enforcement of the presentation of personal Identification (in accordance with civil voting rights) makes prohibition of unlawful votes more difficult. Without requirement to show ID, the ability for enforcing that only legitimate votes are cast is diminished.
- Lawful voting requires validation of residential address. The reason for this, is to eliminate multiple votes by the same person; and to prohibit ineligible voting. Cheats seek to attack this fundamental eligibility requirement as well.
- The ‘electoral college’ is under attack, by its opponents who seek the weakening of this safeguard also. The electoral college system ensures that the winner of the election has received the most votes in total, from the collection of States, nationwide. This system safeguards the rights of each State, by fairly representing itself among all of the States. Opponents to this, often prefer nationwide popular vote, which would also diminish ability for citizens to acquire a sense of familiarity for each of the State’s independent populous.
- ‘Out-of-precinct voting’, is voting from an ineligible location. This is a strategy whereby voters are attempting not to be detected; and, votes are more difficult to thereby properly invalidate as would be necessary.
These 8 points are quoted from a legal source. And, they, have also quoted ‘Pew Charitable Trust’: [In an important study, the highly respected non-partisan ‘Pew Charitable Trust’ found that “approximately 2.75 million people have active (voter) registrations in more than one state”; that “24 million… active voter registrations in the United States are no longer valid or are significantly inaccurate” and that “more than 1.8 million deceased voters are listed as active voters.”]
Friends, is it any wonder, that so many Americans recognize today this: that the election outcomes do not match our own recognition for the intentions of our neighbors and friends in each of our States? When we look at the information quoted here, and we see who is consistently “winning” election after election (by tactic), it becomes abundantly clear that the cheaters will continue to “win” if they continue to exploit. It’s no wonder-why, that they find nothing wrong with our election system vulnerabilities. Those vulnerabilities support their strategy and reliable “victories”!
There’s another aspect to this. The cheating is not limited to the actions of those in our own country. Countries outside our own, take immense interest in the outcome of US elections. And, that is not limited to one adversary alone. Some foreigners pump large amounts of money into these efforts of chipping away at our voting integrity, according to my legal source. These “investors” are perfectly satisfied with illegitimate US elections, so long they can get their own mandates that are of perceived benefit – for their own nation’s agenda(s) fulfillment.
That is conspiracy. That is unlawful. That is dishonest.
I’d like to direct your attention also to ‘wikipedia’. I’ll quote some of the specific types of problems for you, that they mention, with regard to US election failures [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postal_voting_in_the_United_States]:
- “Voter’s request for postal ballot is lost or not received or processed in time, in states that require one, thus the voter must vote in person or not vote [for example over 9,000 properly requested ballots were not sent in (one such state) in 2020] [13]”
- “Voter’s request for postal ballot is altered or forged [89][90][91]”
- “In states that mail ballots to registered voters without request, some voters have died or moved, and any ballots not returned by the post office can get into the wrong hands [92][93]”
- “Election office sends voters the wrong instructions[94] or wrong ballot, when offices on the ballot differ by party or district. [95]”
- “Voter does not receive mailed ballot, because it does not arrive at the address in time, or someone else takes it [13][96]”
- “Voter misplaces ballot, so must vote with provisional ballot, and someone else may find and vote the original postal ballot, leading to rejection of the provisional ballot. [97][96]”
- “Voter is pressured to vote a certain way by family, caregiver, or other, or provide the blank ballot to someone [98][99]”
- “Voters may be paid to vote a certain way [100]”
- “Someone collects many ballots [101] and does not deliver the ones from neighborhoods likely to vote against the collector’s candidates [102]”
- “Someone collects many ballots, opens envelopes, and marks votes; if voter has already voted, fraudster can mark extra votes on same contests, to invalidate ballot [103]”
- “Election office receives the ballot late (114,000 ballots in 2018); [37][104][105] in an experiment conducted in one state, most ballots were misplaced by the postal service, and even after they were found, 21% took more than 4 days to arrive and 3% took more than a week [106]”
- “Voter’s signature on envelope is missing (55,000 in 2018) or does not match signature on file (67,000), so either there is widespread fraud being prevented by signature reviews, or if these submissions were not fraudulent, then valid ballots are being rejected [37][10]”
- “Forged signature on envelope is accepted as close enough to signature on file, so invalid ballots are accepted [10]”
- “Signature rejection rates vary by race, county and state, ranging from none to 20% rejected[12][11]”
- “Staff who open envelopes falsify or ignore ballots [107][108]”
- “Compilation of votes omits postal ballots[109]”
‘Wikipedia’ mentions a report from a US Senate Committee. Whether their report has legitimate grounds to claim (ie. Russian) meddling in 2016 at that time, or not, the report advocates for “greater security (achieved) when utilizing paper balloting”…this according to ‘wikipedia’s’ quotation of that same US government report.
You see, when cheating prevails, it normalizes the practices; and it invites retaliation. For that and more reasons, it is so imperative that we endeavor strict voting laws and not weaken them in the slightest. We also need to prosecute cheats. If we don’t, foreign nations will come to own all our elections and dictate.
