There
is a significant chance that Democrat Party operatives stole the election from
Donald Trump. The implications of such a theft are interesting.
The
Democratic Party hoped to gain control of the country for a generation by fundamentally
changing the American people, Congress, and the Supreme Court. It hoped to change
the American people by amnestying tens of millions of illegal aliens and
reopening the immigrant spigot. The amnestied aliens would turn Republican
strongholds such as Texas and Florida into Democratic states similar to what
they did in California. When chain migration is added to the effect – the
average immigrant sponsors 3.5 family members – the American people will be irrevocably
changed. The Democrat Party hoped to add two states: Puerto Rico and
Washington, DC, thereby ensuring their control of the Senate. It hoped to
transform the Supreme Court by packing it with new justices. Depending on how the
Georgia runoff elections turn out, the Party might still accomplish these goals.
On
the night of November 3rd, the American citizens went to bed with
Trump ahead in the vote count in the battleground states of Georgia, Michigan, North
Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. In Michigan, Pennsylvania, and
Wisconsin, election analyst Robert Barnes noted, the vote was halted, and several
thousand votes later conveniently found that put Biden ahead.
There were troubling vote irregularities in
battleground states.
(1) In the major metro areas, Big Data Poll’s Richard
Baris reports that Biden got fewer votes than Hillary Clinton did except for
the biggest metro areas of the battleground states (Atlanta, Detroit, Milwaukee,
and Philadelphia).
(2) The Republican Party alleges that in Detroit, Las
Vegas, and Philadelphia, Republican, poll watchers were prevented from
watching the vote count. In Philadelphia, a Pennsylvania appellate court judge
had to order that that watchers not be blocked. It is unclear if the order was too
late because contestable ballots were no longer checkable.
(3) The Washington Times’ S. A. Miller and Alex
Swoyer report that poll workers, post office
employees and certified election observers filed affidavits that state that
they observed suspicious-and-illegal conduct in the handling and tabulation of
ballots in Arizona, Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania.
(4) The Wall Street Journal’s Kim Strassel
reports that for Wisconsin not to have a suspiciously large voter turnout
nearly 900,000 (30% of Wisconsin’s voters) would have had to registered to vote
on election day. This, she claims, is very unlikely.
(5) The Nevada Republican
Party sent a criminal referral to the Justice Department regarding 3,062
instances of voter fraud. It predicted the number of instances of fraud will
grow.
(6) The Cook Political
Report listed 27 House seats in the Toss Up column. So far, the Republicans
have won every one in which a call has been made (18 seats). It is odd that Republicans
are winning the contested seats but losing the presidency.
Adding
to the suspicious pattern, some of these cities – for example, Detroit and
Philadelphia - have a history of election difficulty and fraud. In 2019, for
example, the Public Interest Legal Foundation sued Detroit because among other
problems, it had more registered voters than eligible voters. A federal court
convicted and sentenced an elections judge, Domenick Demuro, for accepting bribes to cast fraudulent
ballots and certifying false voting results in Philadelphia during elections as recent as 2016.
All
of this was aided and abetted by the rushed attempt to switch to a mail-in
ballot system and weaken the deadline, voter-identification, and
signature-checking requirements that prevent election fraud. At this point, it
appears there was fraud. The issue is whether it was widespread enough to flip
the election. As of now, we cannot answer this question.
If
there were widespread election fraud, this would have been the third coup
attempt. The first attempt was the Russia-Hoax criminal conspiracy. At present,
not even the FBI leadership who were in the middle of the conspiracy are defending
the FISA warrants central to it. The second attempt was the crassly political
impeachment attempt that focused on Trump’s stated preference that Ukraine
investigate Biden-family influence peddling. Hunter Biden’s computer and the evidence
it unlocked make it abundantly clear that such influence peddling occurred. In
addition, there was no evidence – zero – that Trump’s preference was anything
more than that. Such a request would have been legally and morally permissible.
Sadly, it was not made.
Stealing
an election through widespread fraud is equivalent to a bloodless coup. One
problem with such a theft is that it undermines government legitimacy.
Government legitimacy concerns the right of the government to coerce the people.
It is closely related to the people’s duty to obey the law. The problem is that
if the government is legitimate, and not merely an organ of naked force, the
people have to validly consent to it. The people have neither consented to a
government that took power through fraud nor to a fraudulent electoral
procedure.
An
illegitimate government is a problem. Similar to the apartheid practices in the
American South, the destructive-and-illegal Vietnam War, and weaponization of
the government during the Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon administrations, election
theft does and should undermine faith in the American government. We cannot be
proud of a county that has dirty elections.
A
second problem is that the perceived election theft will intensify the
politicization of American life. The election fraud, if it occurred, went hand
in glove with Big Tech censorship, politicized corporations (especially Silicon
Valley and Wall Street), suffocating ideological chokehold in academia, and thuggery
(Black Lives Matter and Antifa). The politicization will increasingly force citizens
to choose sides. Americans live, play, and work together and no one wants our lives
increasingly politicized. Nor should they. No one enjoys yelling at
Thanksgiving dinner.
A
third problem is that the changes that went into this election will haunt the
country for years to come. The American people do not want internet censorship,
corrupt election practices, and politicized corporations. Americans will rue
the day these things became part of American life.
In
short, election fraud, if it were widespread enough, undermines the legitimacy
of the American government. The fraud along with the forces that allowed it
will further politicize American life and change the country for the worse. And
for what?
