My Florida mail carrier showed great distress when I handed him a letter addressed to “The TEA Party”. (A contribution—but I don’t know if it made it there).
Months later my next ballot (absentee—2020 for Trump) was returned, marked, “Signatures don’t match”.
Those who committed election fraud depended on this. It's a tactic often used by the intelligent and unscrupulous.
Bingo, it starts with corrupt voter rolls.
I tune out any analysis about the election results, because it’s all fraud.
Warnock won the first time thru fraud.
Early voting brought in votes for him that were paid for.
What were people paid? $10, $15? $20? $25? $50?
How about $100?
For $10,000,000 dollars you’ve bought 100,000 to 1,000,000 votes?
More than enough to beat Hershel.
But OTOH, what did McConnell do to help him win? Nothing.
Its easy to forget that this country was never intended to be a “democracy.” In fact, it was established as an oligarchy by men who had no intention of making their own personal and commercial interests subservient to the democratic wishes of their hirelings and tenant farmers.
“A good place to start is with the voter rolls.”
A person’s party affiliation shouldn’t be part of voter rolls. It makes it too easy for the bad guys to identify targets — whose ballots to discard, whose mail to tamper with, etc.
Here in TN, we don’t declare a party when registering. I like that.
Plenty of FReepers here claiming the Republicans used poor “tactics.”
It’s not the votes or the voters.
It’s the people who count the votes.
It’s that simple.

1984 changes in progress
The Following are Needed Voting Reforms
• Make Election Day a national holiday. Election Day voting only.
• Polls operate for 24 hours—midnight to midnight Eastern time—and open and shut simultaneously nationwide.
• Voters should not be swayed by results in states with earlier precinct closures. To minimize the influence voting, the media should be discouraged from reporting of totals, “calling” races, or reporting projections based on election day exit polls before the votes are completely tallied on election night.
• Voters must show photo ID. Only adult U.S. citizens can vote.
• Paper ballots only, which must be maintained for a physical audit trail. No electronic vote selection, or storage on USB drives.
• Full chain of custody of ballots certified by representatives of all parties.
• No ballot counting without witnesses.
• All ballots must be counted within 24 hours. Election officials who fail are held accountable.
• Totals reported may not exceed ballots cast. Hand-audit until it does (fraud vitiates everything).
• Voter rolls must be cleaned frequently and by the registration deadline: two weeks before Election Day. If officials won’t clean out the fraud, crowdsource it with public voter rolls.
• No more mass mail-in ballots. No ballot harvesting. Limit absentee ballots to the sick, infirm, the military on deployment and those who will be absent on Election Day (traveling). Must applied for in advance. We can no longer trust a system to obviously open to fraud.
Mail-in ballots defeat two of the principles of sound elections.
1) There is no secrecy of the ballot - there is no certainty that a mail-in ballot was not either bought or coerced by someone looking over the voter’s shoulder, or for that matter that it was not completed by a third party with the voter’s willing OR unwilling cooperation. The voting booth provides the privacy to eliminate that threat to the legitimacy of the election.
2) There is no verifiable chain of custody once the ballot is completed - Who did what with it after the ballot left the voter, particularly without voter ID?
They will do literally anything to avoid being caught.To which any sane reader asks, rhetorically:
So, ought the one whose integrity is to be damaged by the election corruption, literally or figuratively defensively arm him/her self against the resultant effects?
I would say if the intelligence agencies and democratic party would go so far as to tell social media companies who and what to ban (proven) set up kidnappings of government officials and infiltrate protests with agitators while at the same time refusing security to keep the peace (proven) then they would probably partake in election fraud.
