All because the left wants a banana republic.

I'm going to go cry in my beer....
We need to redefine what pro life means and what pro life action looks like. Instead of focusing on a ban and the ban lobbyists, let’s focus our funds and efforts on helping moms decide to keep the baby. Otherwise this is costing us way too many votes and results in severe other damage to our country.
As the political discussion centers on the 2022 wins and losses from the midterm election, one thing that stands out in similarity to the 2020 general election is the difference between ballots (counted) and votes (cast). It appears in some states this is the ‘new normal.’
Where votes were the focus the Biden administration suffered losses. Where ballots were the focus the Biden administration won.

Perhaps the two states most reflective of ‘ballots’ being more important than ‘votes’ are Michigan and Pennsylvania. Despite negative polling and public opinion toward two specific candidates in those states, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman, achieved victories. The Democrat machines in both states focused on ballot collection more heavily than votes cast.
Since the advent of ballot-centric focus through mail-in processes and collection drop off processes, votes have become increasingly less valuable amid the organizers who wish to control election outcomes. As a direct and specific result, ballot collection has become the key to Democrat party success.
The effort to attain votes for candidates is less important than the strategy of collecting ballots.
It should be emphasized; these are two distinctly different voting systems.
The system of ballot distribution and collection is far more susceptible to control than the traditional system of votes cast at precincts.
A vote cannot be cast by a person who is no longer alive, or no longer lives in the area. However, a ballot can be sent, completed and returned regardless of the status of the initially attributed and/or registered individual.
While ballots and votes originate in two totally different processes, the end result of both “ballots” and “votes,” weighing on the presented election outcome, is identical.
While initially the ballot form of election control was tested in Deep Blue states, through the process of mail-in returns under the guise and justification of “expanding democracy,” a useful tool for those who are vested in the distinction, I think we are now starting to see what happens on a national level when the process is expanded.
The controversial 2020 election showed the result of making ‘ballots’ the strategy for electoral success. Under the justification of COVID-19 mitigation, mail-in ballots took center stage. Ballot harvesting by Democrat operations was one term for the outcome.
Democrat party officials and political activist groups knew how to exploit the opportunities within the new system of ballot distribution and collection, and when you combine that with a massive legal pressure campaign to accept any and all forms of ballots, well, you can see how they are dependent.
Now that ballot collection has been shown to be a much more effective way to maintain political power, Democrats in a general sense are less focused on winning votes and more focused on gathering ballots.
When ‘ballot organization’ becomes more important than ‘vote winning,’ you modify your electoral campaign approaches accordingly. It might sound simplistic, but inside the distinct difference between ballots and votes you will find why refusing debates is a successful strategy.
If you are trying to win votes you could never fathom campaign success by refusing to debate an opponent. However, if your focus is centered around ballot collection, the debate is essentially irrelevant.
It’s time for voters to start seeing the difference between elections decided by ballots and elections decided by votes. Perhaps the 2022 midterm election will awaken people to the two completely different election systems.
You can vote at any scale you want, but when ballots are more important than votes – the election will always favor the latter.
Michigan and Pennsylvania voters are likely very unhappy today, while Michigan and Pennsylvania ballot providers are smiling.

Republicans?
I have no idea how this Red ripple happened.
I mean we do have former President Donald Trump on our side don’t we?
Donald Trump: “While in certain ways yesterday’s election was somewhat disappointing, from my personal standpoint it was a very big victory – 219 WINS and 16 Losses in the General – Who has ever done better than that?” he wrote.
So damned tired of the Andrea Widbergs out there who appear perpetually clueless.

midterm voters told already voted
Here’s a result from GP:
Many other centers around the country have reported similarly.
Bkmk.
And just by coincidence it gave the msm/pundits/talking heads the post-election gift of declaring that Dems losing the house and possibly the senate is somehow a victory.
Republicans and conservatives are equally culpable. They accepted the premise. Now post-election they still accept it, instead of saying that losing the house and possibly the senate is bad for Democrats because they are the party in power.
It’s popular now, even here on FR, to criticize Trump. But the numbers don’t lie. He had an incredible night.
There is a brief video on Fox website showing reactions to Stacey Abrams losing. Several said we tried to overcome longstanding voter suppression but now went some steps back again as her opponent took the election away from Stacey.
So if Left and Right are agreed the system is broken and rigged then who believes in the outcomes of the races?
I can’t believe people are accepting this election without question. The results MAKE NO SENSE. A President with Biden’s approval rating should have lost 50 seats but dementia Joe only lost a few?. How’d THAT happen?
- People voted to continue with the highest inflation rate in 40 years?
- They like that 6 million illegals have invaded the country in 2 years and want it to continue?
- They voted in favor of 10,000 Americans dying every month from fentanyl being brought across the border?
- They voted for supply chain problems and shortages?
- Destroying our energy independence? Fuel shortages, depleting the SPR?
- Defunding the police? High crime? Cities that look like those in 3rd world countries?
- Woke insanity? Sexually grooming children? CHILD MULTILATION with or without parental approval?
- We are supposed to believe the 75% of the people that think the country is on the wrong track voted to continue that?
- Etc. Etc.
IMO there is no way this is legit.
