Beware the ‘Long Count’
American Thinker ^ | 1 Aug, 2023 | Jonathan Gault

Luckily, the Supreme Court has cleared a path for eradicating the Democrat habit of counting votes long after the election until you win.

The foundation of a free society is, of course, self-government, and the foundation of self-government is when the citizens of that society, via the electoral process, choose who governs them. Therefore, it is essential not only for elections to be fair and competitive but, more importantly, that there is a perception that they are fair. In the United States, this is no longer the case, but the Supreme Court has cleared the path for eradicating the worst fraud and changing the perception.

Both elected officials and unelected bureaucrats often refuse to maintain voter rolls properly while suggesting that non-citizens be permitted to vote. Tech oligarchs pump hundreds of millions of dollars into cities to purposely muddle the election process as they “manage” public opinion via censorship, half-truths, and (their favorite) “misinformation,” meaning any charade they themselves don’t believe.

SNIP

The Long Count is defined as counting votes well past election day. Long Counts took place in these cities (and others) because, said the Democrats, “every vote must be counted,” even though, in many jurisdictions, early voting was available for months prior to election day on November 3, 2020.

Even with modern technology, for some reason, 21st-century Americans are unable to count votes, even over a period of two months, so we now also count votes well past election day. Therein lies the rub… However, considering that we are dealing with modern-day Bolsheviks, for whom, in their quest for unbridled power, the end justifies the means, there may still be hope.

>What the author overlooks is that collecting ballots and counting votes BEFORE Election Day is a much bigger problem than counting votes for weeks afterward.<

When I worked the polls in PA, albeit 30 years ago, all absentee ballots had to be in your voting precinct’s hands by election day, not some large central location. You could only vote absentee if you would physically be unable to be present on election day.

When a voter would present themselves to vote, there was already a record if they had mailed in the absentee ballot. If they had, the absentee ballot was removed.

After the close of balloting the machine totals were recorded and the remaining absentee ballots were counted. The combined totals were then transported to the county elections office. Easy peasy, no shenanigans or malarkey. Of course that was a republican precinct.

I later moved to NC. I had filled out an absentee ballot request, received it in the mail and diligently mailed it back to have it arrive by election day. I was eventually able to make it on election day. I notified the volunteer that I had mailed an absentee ballot and she looked at me like I had 3 eyes. She told me to go to the box of absentees and find it myself. Of course this was a rather blue voting district.

This is all a wordy tale to explain that it can be done very easily if there is no intention to deceive or cheat.

Just as serious if not more are the Dominion voting machines in 27 states. Between adjudication and an algorithm that’s set to lets say 1.25 votes for Biden to every 1 vote for Trump and then add ballot harvesting and fraudulent voter rolls in the mix and a Republican never becomes President again.

That’s why its doubtful there will be an election in Nov 2024 or if there is its going to be administered with paper ballots by the military.

“The rats are firmly entrenched in many states and major cities.”

Exactly—in this state (CT) the Democrats have been stealing their own primaries and general elections, both local and state wide, for decades and decades.

Nobody has gone to jail for it—ever.

It works—why should they stop now?

Many on our side are obsessed with electronic voting machines, getting rid of them would be a good thing, but if you don’t fix the 4 things I listed first, hand counting of ballots will not change the outcome of fraudulent elections.

If all the voting machines were eliminated today, the cheating would continue, and the outcome of elections would not change.

That’s my point and has been all along.

if you have fraudulent voters rolls because dead people are still considered eligible voters, that’s a real problem.

It's not just dead people still on the rolls, it's also people who don't even exist registered at addresses that aren't residential ... and no verification. Stephen Crowder (yes, the COMMEDIAN) exposed this definitively in 2021.

No, the foundation of a free society is LIMITED government.

Exactly and until that is cleaned up the method of counting doesn’t matter
