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.

So Gore lost by 500 states in one state, and Trump lost by thousands in ... four states is it? After the audit... Gore still lost. After multiple audits... Trump also still lost. Sorry, but there is no smoking gun. If you have something, please point it my way. Or you can rant and rave and call me stupid blah blah blah with no evidence of anything.

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.

*************

The COUP is what matters as Biden is the coup master at this point.

Definition of coup (Entry 1 of 2)
1: a sudden decisive exercise of force in politics and especially the violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group : COUP D’ÉTAT
In its first few hours, the coup seemed a terrifying confirmation of the power of the military, the police and, especially, the KGB.
— David Remnick
By nightfall, the troops had freed the captured President and ended the six-day-old coup, a military spokesman said.
— Marlise Simons
2: a brilliant, sudden, and usually highly successful stroke or act
It’s an impressive coup for the NCAA and its corporate sponsors to snag an artist with Springsteen’s cachet for this event.
— Chris Strauss
From time to time, the conspiracy groupies pull off a huge disinformation coup.
— Alex Kozinski
Foreseeing a publicity coup, chairman Roger Smith was determined to exhibit an electric car at the Los Angeles Auto Show in January 1990.
— Mark Fischetti

If Trump was a little smoother trying to be like everybody else, he’d lose a large % of his following.

We love Trump BECAUSE he is not politically correct, BECAUSE he has an edge, BECAUSE he’s the real deal, not some phony boring and smooth talker. Trump is a breath of fresh air among the stale stink of phoniness.

Politicians and the Left study how to be phony and smooth.

True Patriots will tell the truth and let the chips fall where thy may.

There was never a serious audit for Trump, only recount of adjudicated ballots. Gore was allowed to give Florida a selective enima. That’s just a fact. But if you are okay with the fraudulent election of 2020, good for you. But thank God there are people like myself who want fair elections and honest government. Otherwise morons like you would be deston for the ovens.

I for one, cannot get past a B.S. headline. It is a false premise that should be refuted.

That’s the way the Left does it. Like “When did you stop beating your wife?”

If they can get you to skip over the lying premise they’ve got you.

The poster here didn’t mean it that way I don’t think but nevertheless is was a flawed statement that needed fixing.

They won a coup, but they didn’t win the election.

***********

Don’t disagree with you at all. But they are
the ones sitting in the power seat at present.
And if the GOP doesn’t get their act together
for the future and quit living the past each
day then the past may be their future. JMO.

The only reason we lost in 2020 was because they counted the votes.

Moron.

Moron?

Did you read my article?

If so, did any of it sink in?

Jeez. Perhaps you should at least read the article, or at least comment #36 - and spare us the name calling.

...but there is no smoking gun. If you have something, please point it my way.

So, there were no middle-of-the-night ballot dumps in locations where counting was stopped inexplicably with Trump leading? The USPS truck with over 200,000 ballots moved from New York to Pennsylvania was a lie? Thousands of mail-in ballots in multiple locations counted which had never been folded to put in an envelope? Are you saying that WE lie like Democrats?

The fraud happened outside of the polling places. Fraudulent ballots ( some with only Biden selected ) were collected and processed all by the book.

“True Patriots will tell the truth and let the chips fall where they may”.

Well, as a seasoned politician told a new arrival, “the secret to success is to tell the truth and let the chips fall where they may. As soon as you can fake that your success is assured.”

Not having the counting observers refuse to be moved offsite till the count was certified and arm them so they can back up their refusal?

Guess what: I don’t have NO problem with that whatsoever. Have a few off-duty LEO’s for support is possible.

Remember: The other side has no problem using force to remove them, so...
