This is not always true.
Real life:
In 2017 we had a special election in Alabama to replace Senator Jeff Sessions who had become Attorney General.
The final winner of the Republican primary was Judge Roy Moore, very conservative (more than Sessions). He was up against a democrat attorney, Doug Jones, who had no chance in the Great State of Alabama.
But a handful of democrat operatives posing as journalists searching for dirt on Moore found something they thought was salacious—that he as an unmarried young 30 year old—preferred to date young women while looking for a wife. After much searching they found a few—and after much money was spent, got one to say he was untowards with her and aggressive. In November 2017, nine women accused him of inappropriate sexual or social conduct. Three of the women said they had been sexually assaulted by Moore when they were aged 14, 16, and 28. Moore denied the sexual assault allegations, but did not dispute that he had approached or dated teenagers over the age of 16 (the age of consent in Alabama). The national and local media chose to make the Alabama special election a national event, spending much of the second week of December 2017 on it, mostly on these accusations.
In the December 12 election, Moore lost to Jones, who received 671,151 votes (49.9%) to Moore’s 650,436 votes (48.4%).
In the 2016 U.S. presidential election in Alabama, just 11 months previously, Donald Trump received 1,318,255 votes (62.08%) versus Hillary Clinton, who received 729,547 votes (34.36%).
Moore got less than half the Trump votes from 11 month earlier, while Jones got almost as much as Hillary. Baptists by the 10s of thousands stayed home. The sexual allegations campaign worked.
After the election, all of the women claiming sexual assault dropped their lawsuits.
IF ONLY we could have harvested ballots! We probably could have found 50K for Moore easily!
Seems to me there must be millions of Wisconsin residents in rural cemeteries that are just dying to cast a Republican mail-in ballot.
What if groups of patriots traveled through Wisconsin, ONE MINUTE AFTEDR MIDNIGHT, finding mail drop boxes and adding some flammable fluid to the contents and setting them on fire.’
Remember ashes are NOT BALLOTS!
.
That is about the time the ballot delivery trucks from Chicago are scheduled to arrive.
Why do I think that Trump stuffers would be prosecuted and Biden stuffers would not?
You can’t beat them at their own game. You have to disrupt that game with a game of your own.
Every one of those boxes has to be attended by uniformed people with banners saying that casting or facilitating an illegal vote will be prosecuted and (if a non-citizen) deported, taking pictures of everyone.
Maybe the legislature could minimize the number of boxes, but that last election gave the dems the chief justice's seat and a majority on the WI supreme court. Evers would veto faster than you can say "democracy" if such aa law passed. And if a Maga challenge to the dropboxes came up, that court could sit on it until after the election.
So that disruption is insufficient. But to disrupt is the key. Jeet Kune Do, not Karate or Aikido; neither a frontal assault, nor a redirection of aggressive momentum, but a proactive disruption of an attack before it can mature.
I’m not saying don’t get them on video. Who knows, maybe that would inhibit some of the cheating (the amateurs?).
Always a good idea to whip out your phone and start filming. Something else is needed, though. Don’t know what.
Except that control of the election process is exclusively the right and duty of the state legislature — a plenary power granted to state legislatures, not to the governor or the courts.
You need to give the legislature some time to fix this. Hopefully they will.
Of course the legislature writes the laws, but what if Evers vetoes any anti-cheat bill? And can the WI supreme court (dem majority now) block mail-in restrictions until the election is over?
