How We Lost 2020, And What it Takes to Win it Back.
jimjohn | By J. Johnson

Posted on 09/07/2022 8:11:39 AM PDT by jimjohn

No doubt there are hundreds or even thousands of articles opining on how the democrats came out on top of the 2020 election (note I didn’t say ‘win’). Few if any gave possible opinions or evidence on our own culpability in what happened between November 3rd and 4th in 2020. As the saying goes, “Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” I can testify that mistakes were clearly made on our side, and in order to save the Republic, we need to honestly look at what we have done (or in this case – did NOT do), and correct this problem before November 8, 2022.

Short Version: Many people who worked the polls for the presidential race in 2016 were not around for the 2020 race, thus the opponent’s actions that were foiled back then were successful in 2020; resulting in the current president #46.

Long Version.

Background: I am among those who actually work at elections as a ballot inspector – now in my 7th year. It was something a former spouse did in the 80’s, which prompted my interest in government and elections ever since, and a practice I remember my mother doing in my childhood. What prompted my most recent polling practice was an undercover video by Project Veritas catching a H. Clinton operative explaining how they were going to steal the 2016 election. This video went viral, no doubt causing many to step up to become extra eyes and ears to prevent fraud.

I believe this in part is what helped #45 win the election.

Where I worked on November 8, 2016, there was an abundance of people to work that election. In fact, there were literally too many, but it worked out when it came to counting the ballots. There were a lot of them. And although the rule is ‘no talking of politics’, we knew who we were by the unspoken dress code. We also picked up on one of the opponent’s tricks of the trade; just as dangerous as a miscalculating vote machine: Same-day registration.

This is the concept of allowing persons to arrive at the polling place on Election Day as a new voter; all but bypassing the time needed to verify the address on the identification. And yes, in New Hampshire, we do verify voters by approved identification – usually a state driver’s license (DL). It was when I noticed a woman wearing a hijab – the same as the one on her DL that raised my eyebrows. Simply flipping over the DL showed us the date of issuance: November 8, 2016. From there, we took notice of others with the same phenomenon during the late afternoon registrations.

Although #45 won my ward and the state in that election (until the absentee and other late votes were counted – go figure), some of us did report these issues to our state reps. Word got around prompting the GOP led house to pass a law stating identification and proof of residence must be done 30 days before an election in the Granite State. Of course, this was later struck down by a federal judge for being ‘too inconvenient’ (no kidding).

Fast forward to 2020 (the aftermath of the summer of love), and the new weaponized practice known as ‘mail-in-voting’. Why this is allowed in a country that preaches ‘democracy’ in every other sentence is beyond me, but it was abused enough in my state that we were called in early to count the over 14,000 in my city alone on the Saturday before Election Day 2020. This is where things got interesting…

Pay attention. Class is in session here, folks.

The counting was to take place in a downtown hotel. Since I was passing by the day before, I stopped in to make sure I knew where the counting would take place.  The woman behind the counter, probably assuming my party affiliation based on my skin tone said, “Oh, you’re looking for the Democrat training session. That’s already taken place and…”

“Training session”, I thought?

I saw what the ‘training’ was about the next day while counting the absentee/mail-in ballots. We, the ballot inspectors, were surrounded by yellow tape, so as to keep election observers at bay while we did our jobs. Don’t get alarmed. This is the law in New Hampshire. But most, if not all were democrats. Where were the Republicans, you ask? Good question. The ‘observers’ watched as we opened the thousands of envelopes, checking to make sure each ballot had a signature. Sorry, we could not check for VALID signatures as we were told, because “we’re not signature experts”. Still, I made it a point to question any ballot with no signature, or the signature not matching the person to whom the ballot was sent. Whenever I raised a flag on a ballot, you should have seen the ‘observers’ in action.

Frankly, I was impressed at their coordination. They collected the names of the questionable ballot, added to their list, and there were runners collecting names from the various wards, creating a list to make sure these people were contacted to make sure they showed up in person the following Tuesday(which of course, they should anyway – but that’s another matter). The Democrats had a virtual ‘machine’ in operation, watching and to some degree all but intimated some of the ballot inspectors. After my first few challenges, they paid special attention to ‘yours truly’ since all but one of the ballots I questioned were democrats. But they were coordinated and organized to the point where I suspected these folks may have been paid for their efforts. I never could confirm that, but recently, former attorney general Eric Holder held a fundraiser to support poll workers. Go figure.

The same observation team was in action on Election Day as well. Most interesting was the late afternoon/evening when we expected the last 2 hour rush of voters – usually starting after 5:30 pm.

But there were none. The voting place was virtually empty, and the observers were ‘missing’.

At this time, I received a text message from a family member who lives and votes in this same precinct.

“You should see the line outside!”. We estimate about 300-400 folks in line to register for the first time…

… like everyone didn’t know Election Day was on November 3, 2020.

Being the senior man behind the polling tables, I took the liberty to check the books if the registered voters that are subdivided by the first letter of the last names. Flipping through the pages I could see most if not all in this ward had already voted; leading to the question: Who are all these ‘new’ people? And where were all those ‘observers’ you ask? They were at the tables where all those in line ended up to complete their registration, looking over the poll workers’ shoulders.

 

 By the way, I heard of these same happenings in other wards around the state, and similar actions around the country. You may have seen many of these same reports shortly after November 3, 2020. In fact, you may have heard testimony from Real Americans in other states working the polls explaining how they were intimidated and forced out in some cases from being present while questionable activities were going on (#the overnight spikes).

The Lesson (Class Homework Assignments):

If you want to win in 2022, it’ll take more than your vote, a yard sign, a former Presidential endorsement, or a couple of pennies sent to your candidate’s war chest. It takes warm bodies. Soldiers. Warriors. If you have a pulse, we need you. Call your local political office. Can you be a ballot inspector? An observer? A drop box watcher? (#KariLake). Can you make a cold call to get folks to the polls? Can you offer a ride to someone who can’t get there on their own? Here’s a hint: The current VA governor and the GOP candidates for governor in both AZ and MI got there by folks not waiting for Fox News to carry the water for them. They got active.

We discussed this in prior articles (See links below). What was stated then still holds true today. Tell your boss and/or spouse (I repeat myself) you’re taking Election Day off. You’re not just going to be an observer, you’re going to be an “Observer”. You’re going to be part of the process – not just an extremist. By joining us, you won’t be a ‘threat to democracy’, you’ll just be a vanguard against the true threats to the Republic. The time has come to learn from our opponents, and accept the Rules of Engagement for what they are. Think nationally. Act locally.

My apologies to all for not putting my 2020 Election experience in writing sooner. But there’s no time better than right now. There is an election coming for the controls of Congress. The reality is: You cannot merely vote your way out of what is poised against us. But that doesn’t mean just “Annie get your gun”. It also doesn’t mean swallowing the “black pills” of defeatism. If you are reading this article, there is still time. We are not an existential threat to democracy. Benjamin Franklin said it best:

“It is a Republic – if you can keep it.”

Real America, that Civil War you’ve been forecasting is now self-evident. Victory requires Real Americans to step up to the battle. Are you in?

Onward.

We did not lose in 2020.

We won the 2020 election.

The 2020 election results were fraudulently altered and stolen by the Delusional and Lying Extreme Left Democrat Party.

Annoying as hell and completely violating the spirit of a free electoral process. But I suspect 100% accurate in your assessment of what they did and what we must do.

There’s a difference between losing something and having it stolen.

Spot on.

I hope every FReeper is involved in every election going forward:

precinct captain

committeeman/delegate

poll worker

poll watcher

election inspector

election integrity project/true the vote/project veritas volunteer

candidate

voter - goes without saying - vote in person day of if possible

registering voters

getting out the vote

campaign volunteer which can involve everything from sidewalk rallies to staffing the office, organizing events. . .

donor

signs out

Some FReepers are housebound to one extent or the other. But many things can be done from home including text banking, phone banking. Every FReeper, every election, choose some of the options above and get busy. We can’t keep our Republic otherwise. . . obviously.

The only time a GOP candidate wins is they run against a failed president...

Example Reagan Carter....the democrats cannot make enough fake ballots

How do you think they run big cities for fifty years or states

Yes, and the GOPe is at it again in 2022. They would rather have a Democrat in office than a MAGA candidate.

Remember when we called Gore / Lieberman SoreLoserman back in 2000? Ahh, those were the days.

It's false assumption to say we lost in 2020. Trump won 19 of 20 bellwether counties that had voted with the winner since 1980 and Republicans gained about 15 seats in the House.

Electing Republicans in swing states dedicated to eliminating voter fraud and then eliminating it is the key to win in 2024.

Republican politicians are cowards. That is the fundamental problem.

“Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject.” -John Stuart Mill, 1867...................

A literal handful of cities in key states were NOT held accountable, and were allowed to decide the race for the entire nation via voter fraud.

Sununu led a RINO mutiny that did nothing while the Dems stole the state for the Dems. Yet, some FReepers here still love Sununu. Knowing the family’s ties to the Bushes should have told them he was not to be trusted, let alone elected to a position of power.

So what’s your point? That Gore had a legitimate challenge, or that Trump didn’t? If you believe ether of those conclusions, you are the problem. How can you possibly be that stupid? Does it hurt? It should.

There is only one way to insure that we get the ‘most honest’ election outcome.

Voter ID, verified at the polling place. No voter ID, you can’t vote.

And voting only on election day. Just one day for election, and no mail-ins, except for the military overseas and those serving in other capacities abroad.

We [President Turmp] did not lost the 2020 election. The Democrats with the help of the Republicans engineered and executed a Coup that desposed of him. The same Republicans that the voters voted for: To Wit Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell behind the scenes actively worked for his demise.
