Lessons from the election:
- There is a remnant of the righteous. They are a diminishing minority.
- Wicked leaders prosper because they truly reflect the electorate.
- The righteous cannot raise their families in an evil environment and will accelerate their exodus to states that protect them.
- Purple states are going deep blue. There is no middle ground.
- America, as we have known her, is finished.
- Prepare to defend yourselves.
- God is not mocked. An even harsher judgment is coming.

Confessions of a voter fraud: I was a master at fixing mail-in ballots

A top Democratic operative says voter fraud, especially with mail-in ballots, is no myth. And he knows this because he’s been doing it, on a grand scale, for decades.

Mail-in ballots have become the latest flashpoint in the 2020 elections. While President Trump and the GOP warn of widespread manipulation of the absentee vote that will swell with COVID polling restrictions, many Democrats and their media allies have dismissed such concerns as unfounded.

But the political insider, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he fears prosecution, said fraud is more the rule than the exception. His dirty work has taken him through the weeds of municipal and federal elections in Paterson, Atlantic City, Camden, Newark, Hoboken and Hudson County and his fingerprints can be found in local legislative, mayoral and congressional races across the Garden State. Some of the biggest names and highest office holders in New Jersey have benefited from his tricks, according to campaign records The Post reviewed.

“An election that is swayed by 500 votes, 1,000 votes — it can make a difference,” the tipster said. “It could be enough to flip states.”

The whisteblower — whose identity, rap sheet and long history working as a consultant to various campaigns were confirmed by The Post — says he not only changed ballots himself over the years, but led teams of fraudsters and mentored at least 20 operatives in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania — a critical 2020 swing state.

“There is no race in New Jersey — from city council to United States Senate — that we haven’t worked on,” the tipster said. “I worked on a fire commissioner’s race in Burlington County. The smaller the race, the easier it is to do.”

A Bernie Sanders die-hard with no horse in the presidential race, he said he felt compelled to come forward in the hope that states would act now to fix the glaring security problems present in mail-in ballots.

“This is a real thing,” he said. “And there is going to be a f–king war coming November 3rd over this stuff … If they knew how the sausage was made, they could fix it.”

Mail-in voting can be complicated — tough enough that 84,000 New Yorkers had their mailed votes thrown out in the June 23 Democratic presidential primary for incorrectly filling them out.

But for political pros, they’re a piece of cake. In New Jersey, for example, it begins with a blank mail-in ballot delivered to a registered voter in a large envelope. Inside the packet is a return envelope, a “certificate of mail in voter” which the voter must sign, and the ballot itself.

That’s when the election-rigger springs into action.

The ballot has no specific security features — like a stamp or a watermark — so the insider said he would just make his own ballots.

“I just put [the ballot] through the copy machine and it comes out the same way,” the insider said.

But the return envelopes are “more secure than the ballot. You could never recreate the envelope,” he said. So they had to be collected from real voters.

He would have his operatives fan out, going house to house, convincing voters to let them mail completed ballots on their behalf as a public service. The fraudster and his minions would then take the sealed envelopes home and hold them over boiling water.

“You have to steam it to loosen the glue,” said the insider.

He then would remove the real ballot, place the counterfeit ballot inside the signed certificate, and reseal the envelope.

“Five minutes per ballot tops,” said the insider.

The insider said he took care not to stuff the fake ballots into just a few public mailboxes, but sprinkle them around town. That way he avoided the attention that foiled a sloppy voter-fraud operation in a Paterson, NJ, city council race this year, where 900 ballots were found in just three mailboxes.

“If they had spread them in all different mailboxes, nothing would have happened,” the insider said.

Inside jobs

The tipster said sometimes postal employees are in on the scam.

“You have a postman who is a rabid anti-Trump guy and he’s working in Bedminster or some Republican stronghold … He can take those [filled-out] ballots, and knowing 95% are going to a Republican, he can just throw those in the garbage.”

In some cases, mail carriers were members of his “work crew,” and would sift ballots from the mail and hand them over to the operative.

In 2017, more than 500 mail-in ballots in New York City never arrived to the Board of Elections for races that November — leaving hundreds disenfranchised. They eventually were discovered in April 2018. “For some undetermined reason, some baskets of mail that were bound to the New York City Board of Elections were put off to the side at the Brooklyn processing facility,” city elections boss Michael Ryan said at the time of discovery.

Nursing homes

Hitting up assisted-living facilities and “helping” the elderly fill out their absentee ballots was a gold mine of votes, the insider said.

“There are nursing homes where the nurse is actually a paid operative. And they go room by room by room to these old people who still want to feel like they’re relevant,” said the whistleblower. “[They] literally fill it out for them.”

The insider pointed to former Jersey City Mayor Gerald McCann, who was sued in 2007 after a razor-thin victory for a local school board seat for allegedly tricking “incompetent … and ill” residents of nursing homes into casting ballots for him. McCann denied it, though he did admit to assisting some nursing home residents with absentee ballot applications.

The August and September polls were more accurate than the October and November one.

Of the $100 million Trump had, he only spent $15 million and saddled the GOP with a lot of clunker candidates. Part of the base, however, would rather blame conspiracies than ever cast doubt on Trump. -Erik Erickson

Here's the basic takeaway from Election 2022 so far:

1. Democrats will not change course on anything; they wildly outperformed expectations, except in Florida.

2. Biden is their 2024 nominee unless he is fully incapacitated.

3. Republicans wildly underperformed, and heads should roll.

4. There is a lot of hope for the Republican coalition given their performance with Hispanic and black voters. But their candidate quality was poor and their leadership was either absent or counterproductive.

5. Candidate quality matters -- underlying dynamics are not strong enough to drive bad candidates to victory.

6. Donald Trump was a major drag on Republicans, from his picks to his antics. Trump picked bad candidates, spent almost no money on his hand-picked candidates, and then proceeded to crap on the Republicans who lost and didn't sufficiently bend the knee. This will have 2024 impact.

7. The Republican leadership class, paralyzed by the Trump phenomenon, failed to provide any leadership at all...

8. Except for DeSantis, who was a leader, an excellent candidate, and an organizer of his own party, leading to a Florida red tsunami. -Ben Shapiro

I honestly was totally deflated and frustrated this am but quickly realized, the country we knew is gone. The only way to save it is it has to burn down completely and then be rebuilt on Christ. Half the country will never wake up, but could if the country and their lives crash and burn. We have to draw close to Christ and let him rebuild it…I’m praying in that fashion.

Or you can look at the reality- which is that cheating is rampant. NO ONE voted for a guy who has had a stroke that was so bad that he can’t answer questions in a lucid fashion. Fetterman was never actually elected to his seat any more than Joe Biden was elected to the presidency. Its all based on cheating and both of them said that that was going to be the case.

America, as we have known her, is finished……..

—————————————————————

IMO, this is not hyperbole. This election spotlights how stupid the average voter is.
We are enduring what might be the toughest economy we’ve seen in 50 years?
High inflation
Extremely high gas and energy prices
Rising violence
Massive homelessness
Possible nuclear war

And what did the electorate do? They seemingly handed more power to the party that has put us in this situation. At the very least they have kept the status quo which is unbeleivable. The moron in Pennsylvania winning just cements my opinion. This country is fading fast. I have my food. I have my guns.

1. Ignore all polls.
2. Listen to the Dims when they say they ‘got this,’ because it means the fix is in. Pelosi and others were unconcerned, for good cause.
3. When an obviously weak Dim candidate doesn’t campaign, like Biden, Fetterman, Hobbs in AZ, it means the fix is in.
4. What you don’t patrol, you don’t own - meaning ‘we’ have to find a way to get REAL visibility in to vote counting and election operations.

‘We’ all now Biden didn’t actually get anywhere NEAR 81 million legit votes ... except that he got the numbers, just like Fetterman and Hobbs.

5. Here in GA (despite what many on FR post) REAL safeguards, controls and oversight WERE added back to the voting process. The major races went the right way, legitimately. The Dims pulled funding here because “the cheat” was not going to happen AND they had a dis-liked candidate list at the top.

6. RE: Walker v Warnock. Why didn’t Walker win? Republicans need better candidates, better people to win in a state where looking at the numbers there’s only ~300,000 votes remaining to keep us from going blue, and Walker lost some misguided folks who chose not to vote for him on “principle.” NET: run better candidates.

- There is a remnant of the righteous. They are a diminishing minority.


For whatever reason, I think a lot of people stayed home. In 2020, I had to wait over an hour to vote. Yesterday, I only had to wait 5 minutes. And many people I know did not wait at all. Not sure if it was over confidence or lack of motivation or both. All I know is that 2 years ago, a lot more people voted R. I do not think those people have gone away or switched parties.

Republicans are the perpetually stupid party. Democrats cheat to steal key positions, republicans wonder what went wrong.

One lesson. Too much talk about a red wave may have motivated many democrats to vote.

It’s easy to blame it all on fraud. I know it exists, don’t get me wrong. But my observation has been that people don’t get it. I don’t see lots of people changing their minds and turning Conservative due to Biden’s policies.

Our generation is passing. What is coming up is a new generation of brainwashed people. They do not think like us.

I am a poll worker, and I saw a difference yesterday. Fewer retirees and many more college age voters.

Gloves are off. I’ve told my neighbors where I stand. I live in an ultra liberal neighborhood. Government workers and teachers all around me. Last night I told my Biden voting Gavin newsom follower neighbor that they are getting exactly what they deserve. I know they are buckling under the weight of inflation and high energy prices. Well I told her she can choke on them because they voted for it. They are either too stupid or part of a cult to vote for a party that is destroying their way of life. She just looked at me with a blank angry stare and had nothing to say.

Self-immolation of the USA may happen one day, but no one who is Christian should long for it or support it. That is a devil’s temptation of despair.

fetterman is the face of the Democrat party.

He and Biden prove anyone with a pulse can win D votes. The machine they have in place is what works. Mail in votes are the problem.

But yes. 60 plus percent want checks mailed out to fight inflation. Covid seems to have altered not onky the election system but the populace.
