In a Nutshell
Now as a Christian firmly ensconced in the Augustinian tradition, I certainly believe that the heart of man is capable of any number of dirty deeds in an election, whether it is a right wing heart or a left wing heart. Nobody get a pass. Trust but verify in every direction. Voter ID laws should apply to all voters, not just to the ones with unacceptable politics. But with that said, what I would like to do is cram into just one paragraph below a series of phrases that should illustrate why I believe that fraud from the Left is THE screaming threat of the hour. This is why we need to be prepared — logistically, politically, emotionally, theologically — for massive fraud in this election. We need to “be prepared,” just like the Boy Scouts of America weren’t.
Consistent Democratic opposition to voter ID laws. Consistent Democratic support for illegal aliens being allowed to vote. Consistent Democratic support for an open borders policy that will flood the country with likely Democratic voters. A full-court press in favor of mail-in balloting when mail-in balloting is an open invitation to fraud. Consistent categorization of any voting security measures as voter suppression efforts. Refusal to accept the results of the 2020 election presaged by their refusal to accept the results of the 2016 election. Support for months of rioting as a prelude to the actual voting. Dire warnings that the riots will continue unless the election delivers to them what they want, which is power. Spade work articles now predictably appearing that warn us of a “red mirage,” meaning a blowout for Trump on election night, which is then unraveled as additional votes are officially “tallied.” Behind the scenes leftist activists who warn that the entire concept of “election night” is officially outmoded. Overt projection of their outlook in their fantasy predictions that Trump will a. lose, b. refuse to leave, and c. be escorted out of the White House by the military. The fact that the media is almost completely in the tank for the Left, such that they will be in a position to declare to us the official narrative that “Trump lost.” That Big Tech feels no shame or embarrassment about squelching anything they feel like squelching, including reports of manifest election tampering.
If this gets to SCOTUS (highly likely) I wouldn't bet a plug nickel that they'll rule correctly.
Excellent article.
We’re getting to the point where nobody trusts the electoral process anymore.
Bullet box is over full.
Evil people have been corrupting it for generations until we have what we have today.
The end of the article made reference to Gideon and the “wine vat”, but I could not find any significant additional reference to that online(?)
“Bullet box is over full.”
BOXES
After an election, the law should require that there be a listing of EVERY person who cast a ballot along with their voter registration information so that their eligibility to vote in fact existed and that they are actual people who are alive. They give up their right to privacy when they cast their votes in a public election. Providing this information would enable both sides the opportunity to check for fraudulent ballots, double voting, etc. It doesn’t have to show who they voted for but that they simply cast a vote.
will do!
The reference is to Judges 6:11 Where Gideon is threshing wheat down in a winepress (they were typically dug down into the ground in ancient Israel). He's doing that in order to hide the wheat from the Midianites (illegitimate rulers of the day) who would come and confiscate it all if they saw it. Not unlike the IRS which will confiscate your income if they know (wink..wink) you have it.
Wouldn’t it be simpler and less obtrusive just to require voter ID up front?
Great article!
Great article! Hopefully, this will be easier to read.

Somehow, we need the ability to verify how our vote was cast and counted.
The downside of a non secret ballot is that it becomes a kill list for the totalitarians.
I don’t trust that our elections are legit anymore. For reasons stated in the article.
We are implacable foes with literally nothing in common living side by side.
“ Providing this information would enable both sides the opportunity to check for fraudulent ballots...”
The real point of this article is that both sides don’t want to check for fraudulent ballots. Only one side does. The other side simply wants dictatorial power by any means that they can achieve it. They can only be stopped by bullets, because they will go to any lengths to achieve their end AND they don’t believe that we will to go to any end to stop them. They think they want it more and that they can force the comfortable and satisfied to accept it.
Any time we desire to make a point that begins with “the law should” we should stop ourselves and realize that what “should be” no longer matters. We are far, far beyond the realm of perfecting a system now. “Should be” requires reasonable people to agree on reason. That’s not where we are.
The point of this article is to prepare for the worst...because we will have to go all the way to the worst to defeat this evil.
Bump.
Are you familiar with the story of Gideon in Scripture?
Thank you for that explanation. I’m glad there’s biblical precedent. :)
