Just to be clear, cheating in elections will always be with us. There is way too much at stake for the players to avoid breaking the rules when “necessary.” They need only to say, “The end justifies the means,” and all should be forgiven. It is, however, incumbent on the rest of us to minimize the influence of cheating on the outcomes.
The most basic form of electoral cheating is deception. Kamala Harris has to some degree advocated further construction of a border wall — something she would never really do — but it might get her a few votes. In addition to deceiving by commission, deception by omission is commonly practiced by the corrupt media when they go out of their way to leave out politically harmful details — as in the case of CBS’s recent heavy edit of their interview with Vice President Harris. It seems that there is little if any way deception can be eliminated from the electoral process — other than by cultivating a stronger sense of skepticism among the electorate — as it would also benefit many other forms of consumer decision-making.
Back in the day, when she was just a local pol, the late, not-so-great Dianne Feinstein proposed a San Francisco ordinance making it a crime to utter an untruth in a political statement. Beyond that pesky First Amendment, there’s also the problem of how to promptly rule on such utterances with at least a hint of due process. She was also a pioneer in the encouragement of early absentee voting — so a candidate could have early votes in the bank — just in case they happen to do a DUI or get busted for plagiarism just before Election Day.

I wonder if we will ever get back to paper ballots and election day voting.
The Democrats know the only way they can win is by cheating.
That is why they cheat.
The only thing that will assure free and fair elections is going back to dumb voting machines and conducting open, by the book audits after every election.
So WHY doesn’t anyone seem to be terribly interested in WHO ‘someone’ is??”
They pre loaded and counterfeited votes and ballots. It wasn’t enough. They had to recount ballots and erase image records. That wasn’t enough either.
Then…..they had to wait till almost midnight.
The electronic records of who actually voted could be compared to those registered (didn’t vote). Once they had that, they just mailed in ballot enough votes assigned to the otherwise non-voters. Shut down counting for a bit so that they could mix the work product with late pickups and….
Presto! 81.5 million voters for Biden.
Nobody
Get this, I, as a veteran, and a conservative lawyer, signed up to be an election official in my state, and have heard crickets from anyone about serving.
later.
Causes libs to foam at the mouth, but courts are allowing common sense laws. The legislature needs to pass the laws to begin with.
A good place to start:
Gov’t issued photo ID required to vote.
A limited number of drop boxes, located at voting locations, open only during voting hours and locked otherwise.
Mail-in ballots only sent out after the voter fills out an application, signs it, and presents ID.
“There is one particularly reliable way to overcome electoral cheating: win by a big enough margin to irrevocably exceed the phony votes for the other side.”
What I fear is the obvious dem countermeasure — go big and cheat in such large amounts to overwhelm any notion of protesting the election. Of course that has its problems but the dems are pretty sneaky.
It’s going to take an all night vigil in some places to watch for late-arriving ‘ballots’. Also, if any of the swing states suspend or slow the reporting of results, we’ll know we’re being had.
“Get this, I, as a veteran, and a conservative lawyer, signed up to be an election official in my state, and have heard crickets from anyone about serving.”
Same here. No contact. When I contacted the Florida GOP, I am told no help needed.
I’ve signed up to be an election inspector and most of the presentation was on “misinformation, malinformation, disinformation.” (insert eye roll) This is in upstate NY and both the RINO BOE commissioner and the Demonrat commissioner proceeded to lecture us about how secure the election is and has been.
The voting machines are “not connected to the internet” ™ But yet I noticed the poll pads have that little 5G LTE signal bar icon in the upper right hand corner (the device that takes the place of the registration list).
In NYS it is illegal to tell someone “you can’t vote” even though it shows they already voted by mail or early when they show up on election DAY. You must take their affidavit and Tish James will decided whether your vote counts twice or not.
We haven’t had a reasonably honest election since 2004.
Because the 'someone' is gargantuan, and a significant force to be reckoned with. It is NOT a matter of some fraud votes or criminal counting of votes.. it is systemic. Thankfully, we do live in a time of exposure and DECLAS, the only way to dismantle this 'someone'. Trumpism/MAGA is the way, shining light on the evil.
As someone said elsewhere on the interwebs, Trump is not going to win this election without Heaven’s help.
The only way to beat the cheat is to kill the election official cheaters. Only death will stop the practice
We as humans mastered the relevant mathematics of elections around, say, 7000 BC.
The fact that we are STILL struggling with security, ballot box stuffing, all kinds of digital electronic chicanery, Chinese/Spanish/Russian routing of our elections through their agents, is just because of a lack of will to fix the problem. Of course the Rats want cheating to continue; GOP serves a more permissive role. But make no mistake: There would be no such electoral theft if the GOP didn't also like it. There have been too many missed opportunities to fix it.
To fix it do what the French have done:
In person
one day
present ID
paper ballots
immediate counting and reporting
solid chain of evidence: already I'm hearing about open trunks full of ballots found in some homie neighborhood parking lot
ballots not reported to the central bureau after midnight don't count.
The reason all this continues is also because someone is funding it: Soros, Zucker, Rats in general, other assorted rectums.
It's a huge sin, tantamount to treason, but treated like jaywalking by our judicial worms.
All of the above can be fixed, but not by 'getting out the vote' or 'too big to rig' bull$#it. If photons and electrons from some criminal nerd's keyboard can be used to create fake votes, then creating a quadrillion fake votes is just as easy as creating two. There's no way to fix this by continuing our clownshow open, two-months' long, go through China, electronic, voting process.
“But yet I noticed the poll pads have that little 5G LTE signal bar icon in the upper right hand corner (the device that takes the place of the registration list).”
Could be, as far as the sign-in pad thing. In GA the sign-in pads are connected to the state driver’s license database (or state ID database) and also to the voter registration database.
Not sure how they could check to make sure a voter has valid ID and is registered to vote otherwise. That means some type of high speed data connection, not sure having thousands of locations all over state hardwired is real option given a lot of the voter locations are temporary to being with.
