I don’t necessarily believe the election was tampered with because of Trump. I believe what I witnessed and absorbed over the years as it related to numerous candidates…..perhaps even Al Gore, Ms Cheney. The most gut wrenching was watching the results come in from the very first vote-by-mail in the nation….in Oregon….in 1996. Testing 1…..2….3. It worked. The New York Times jumped for joy.

A nothing-burger junior Democrat congressman, Ron Wyden, squeaked out a win over the favored, popular Republican, Gordon Smith, for a US Senate seat held by Republicans for 35 years. Gordon was a handsome young businessman with a reputation for fairness even among union workers who he employed at his factory. He was also the President of the Oregon State Senate. Wyden had never been anything other than college student and Democrat political career-seeker. (He’s still in the Senate today.) Somehow as those mail-in votes kept coming, Wyden collected enough to win by 1800 votes with Smith favored by 3% or more. In an emotional concession speech, Smith said if he couldn’t beat Biden, he couldn’t beat anyone. As Harry Reid arrogantly said when questioned about winning by 500 votes, “I only needed one.” (That year, btw, 10,000 voters went to the polls and voted “none of the above” in a protest. Think of the damage they could have spared America.

In my current neck of the woods, you could buy a mail—in ballot for a taco and a beer….maybe a $5 bill thrown in. If someone erred and delivered a dozen ballots to your mailbox, you were about to hit the jackpot.

In the 2020 election, we watched fraud. A wide variety. Was some of it expected fraud? I don’t know. I do know we have to stick with this, Ms Cheney, to find out. I believe Trump won Georgia and Arizona. I believe everyone in those states should vote again to protect their freedom.
