Based solely on descriptions in The Lord of the Rings (especially Book II, Chapter 4) and Tolkien's linguistic writings (e.g. Parma Eldalamberon XVII).

Remember the time a Michigan man recorded himself using the Michigan Secretary of State website to check the voter registration of a 118-year old man, only to find that his voter registration was recorded on 9/11/2020, his “vote-by-mail” ballot went out on 9/19/2020, and his ballot was received and counted by the State on 10/2/2020?
The 2020 Election was a deliberate and premeditated crime against America.
