Be a poll watcher they said.

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.

Please explain the five states that cannot certify their 2020 general elections and are open at this time.
Republicans can’t say Biden is ignoring your economic pain, then focus their talking points on going after Hunter Biden.
Specifically, how are you going to improve this economy? They cannot communicate effectively.
Well, the way I see it is we can try to get an army of people out every election to stop the criminals from stealing elections... or we can start executing criminals who try to steal elections.
One way will work much more efficiently than the other.
“We” lost in 2020 because the Democrats CONTROL the entire voting process.
Guess which party GAVE that authority to them???
I saw with my own eyes..the cheating.
I know charts...and they do not do what they did that night. PERIOD!
Look up BENFORDS law.........
Everyone, and I mean everyone, including President Trump, knew that cheating was going to take place. He even said he was going to have lawyers in every precinct. Those lawyers were nowhere to be seen.
And it was fairly easy to identify the swing states, and the critical counties in those states, that needed attention. Again, no effort was made.
Lessons learned? We shall see.
We didn’t lose. Eliminate the computers.
Be a poll watcher they said.
To those who say the Democrats didn’t win in 2020, I say they won the coup. And that’s the win that matters most.
Do you know if any poll workers are put on shifts? As opposed to working the entire day?
I know it can vary from county to county, etc, but has that been done?
“They had help from the GOP.”
And Trump. If he was a little smoother he could have had a cheat-proof margin.
Trump is Trump, people are too damn focused on the minutiae, instead of looking at the big picture.
Trump is Trump, people are too damn focused on the minutiae, instead of looking at the big picture.
GOP voters specifically. Dem voters do not ever get caught up on the rough edges of their candidates.
The delusional and lying extreme-left Uniparty, JFTR. The left-wing Republicans (RINOs) are included.
I’m going to reply with the utmost respect possible to each of you.
With that said, I notice a pattern of people responding to a title of an article, rather than the content therein. I.E, I made reference to them [dems] not winning in the first sentence.
And for those wanting to blame the GOP back-stabbers, fine - but that wasn’t the point of the article. Besides, does blaming them fix anything?
This [article] is about *us*, not them. It’s about what WE did in 2016, and failed to repeat in 2020; with hopes that we can do the right thing in 2022 and beyond.
It’s that simple.
I am not saying that having soldiers to help with election isn’t correct. I am not saying that this isn’t one of the ways to move forward. To be clear, there is always something that can be done better. Having said this, about saving the Republic or Democracy consider this:
The closest we get to democracy is voting for our state legislature representatives. Here we vote for someone to represent us on a State and essentially Federal level as outlined by the State’s powers in the Constitution. That is our democracy.
In 2020, 17 states, either by Federal, Judicial, or executive ignored years of our voting for State Legislatures and their voting laws, to do an election. That’s NOT democracy, and that’s NOT a Representative Republic. That’s Big Corporations, Federal Government, and a Single Political party conspiring to destroy a Representative Republic.
We are best defined as a Fascist State now, since the 2020 election and I doubt that those that did the above will allow us our voice ever again. Making plans to ‘monitor’ the next election makes no sense when laws have already been circumvented.
“Trump is Trump, people are too damn focused on the minutiae”
You are exactly correct. But I’d say Trump needs to play a little more to those that are personality-focused, such as my wife.
Did I say before that my wife still hates Trump but looking at how things are now wishes she’d voted for him.
Maybe in the next election (2024) there will be a few million more who feel the same way.
What?
Well, I never!;-)
Well, the headline needed to be fixed because we did NOT lose the 2020 election. We won and the results were fraudulently tempered with and the election stolen.
So the headline is not telling the truth.
I know you posted this in good faith, but I can tell you that this is one of the subtle ways the Left argues - with an untrue premise hoping you’ll move into the rest of their argument. And if you do that, they’ve got you.
I know that is not what you did or meat to do. Nevertheless, I cannot get past an untruthful headline.
