The GOP needs to roll back election rigging rules, not play along with them
American Thinker ^ | 2 Mar, 2024 | Michael Bertolone

When it comes to institutionalized cheating in American elections, “if you can’t beat them, join them” is not the way to go.

“We need to have the biggest legal ballot harvesting operation this country has ever seen.” – Lara Trump.

Expected incoming RNC co-chair Lara Trump has enthusiastically embraced ballot harvesting, which has been an effective tool for Democrats to engage in shenanigans in furtherance of their election-rigging strategy. However, Lara Trump is extremely naive if she thinks she can outmaneuver the all-time champion of ballot manipulation, the Democrat Party.

It would be as if a novice magician would boast that he could perform sleight-of-hand tricks more proficiently than the all-time master, Harry Houdini. A more effective strategy would be to attack and repeal ballot harvesting, especially in swing states. In addition, efforts should be made to shorten early voting time windows. It may be too late in this election cycle to pass voter ID laws in these crucial states, but it should be attempted where feasible.

Lara and other Republicans favoring ballot harvesting have not considered the perils of pursuing this strategy. The Democrats have shown no reluctance to use lawfare to counter Republican electoral tactics. Local and federal prosecutors, many funded by George Soros, are willing to go after Republicans on the flimsiest of charges and evidence.

It is easy to see that they’ll go after Republican ballot harvesters for supposed election fraud while leaving Democrat ballot harvesters untouched. In fact, this already has happened in North Carolina in recent years. Expect this type of selective prosecution to be ramped up on a massive scale if the RNC enacts Lara’s ballot harvesting plan.

GOP is very stupid to push go-along-get-along ballot harvesting.

It's like trying to take on the Wright Brothers with your own airplane company in 1914 when you know nothing about it.

Rats have been delivering stolen elections since at least 1960 with JFK.

GOP has been surrending or helping with the steal from 1960.

They know nothing comparatively to the Rats about stealing elections.

Grok this: If the Rats can create one single false vote by fraud, they can create 5 billion false votes.

There is no "margin" of landslide that Trump can win by that the Rats cannot easily overcome by fraud. NONE.

We need to make it like France: One day, ID stone valid, one person, one vote, paper ballot, counted by hand, few exceptions for absenteeism for true sickness etc. (validated by strict witness affidavits), counting done on election day, strict chain of evidence, reporting done to the state capitol on the night of by midnight, no exceptions, no delays, no broken pipes. Report your votes by the deadline or they get thrown out.

If we don't do this we are walking right into the Rat's trap set out for us.

You can not out-vote a cheating Rat. Disabuse yourselves of that fantasy.

You cannot make it illegal to ballot harvest by federal law. First. We don’t have the votes or president. Second, each state needs to decide this. Do they want to allow ballot harvesting or not? That’s up to each state.

“A more effective strategy would be to attack and repeal ballot harvesting, especially in swing states.”

The time for that discussion was 3 years ago. Really, 7 years ago.

Any legislation that affects elections will get challenged in the courts and will not be implemented this late in the game.

Ballot harvesting is wrong but is legal in some places. Where it is legal Republicans better do the best they can. The Dems being better at it or even using it as a pretext to cheat just means that Republicans need that much more margin to win. Still better to gain some than none, especially when the margins are close.

Doesn’t matter. Judges, weak governors and crooked secretaries of state. (GA gov Kemp and SOS Ratbiy) just change the laws while their state legislatures sat on their hands in GA, WI. PA etc.

New laws won’t help.

Good article.

The Republicans are not smart enough to out-cheat the Dim election crime machine. Lara Trump is either extremely naive or not very smart. “Ballot harvesting” should be outlawed.

Apparently the author is unaware that ballot harvesting has been made legal in many states over the past few years. If it is legal, especially explicitly legal, then you have to utilize it. You can still work to get it rolled back but in the meantime you have to use it.

In some places you’re but not all places, in Florida new laws work, in 2022 7 million people voted and the results were official before midnight and everyone went home and complained even the Democrats who got trounced

Kemp and Raffensberger won’t be around forever l, places like Arizona, Nevada and perhaps Michigan are 2-3 areas where constant work is required

Here is a much earlier article that I recovered from the archive. It is source on some of the prior article.

Remember Bill Mason (Jan 28, 2015)

http://web.archive.org/web/20150216042636/http://www.texastotheworld.com/remember-bill-mason/

Bill Mason was killed for his exposing material about this.

I actually knew a man ,that was a friend of my uncle, who I was told was a bookkeeper for George Parr. There is other supporting things that make me believe it is true.
