Will We Have an Election This Year?

Given the massive amount of fraud that Trump revealed (and that slipped by most people), it’s questionable whether we’ve actually had any elections recently.

President Trump gives a great stump speech. But when he’s trying to educate America about critical issues like election integrity, he sucks. Sorry, but it’s the truth. That’s why I’m calling this session of the “Make Elections Safe Again” (MESA) seminar to order. Take your seats and pull out your writing tools. While you’re at it, let’s have a Simultaneous Sip in memory of Scott Adams.

The President laid down a lot of factual materials. But they were scattered like Jenga blocks. Let’s put them into a meaningful order. Our first stop must be China.

The FBI, CIA, and DHS are releasing a pot full of data that the ChiComs have gotten hip-deep into our election apparatus. They have complete records of 220 million American “voters.” We’ll explain those scare quotes momentarily. But given that we have around 340 million people in the US, that’s close to two-thirds of everyone here. And that raises our first Red flag.

The voting age population of the US is about 261 million. The typical registration rate for voting-age adults is 70-85%. 85% of 261 million is 221 million. Interesting.

If we use the highest registration rate, then every likely registrant is in China’s database. Every. Last. One. But something stinks with that arithmetic. You see, the “voter eligible” population (VEP)—yes, that number is different from “voting age”—is only 239 million.

Take that stirring spoon out of your eye for a moment. And wipe the coffee off your shirt. The 22 million difference includes legally present aliens—visa holders, green card residents, and so on. We don’t actually know how many illegals are in it,

Which party would China try to help? Who could it be......

[ClearCase_guy]

Call out the National Guard. Have them administer the federal election. All paper. Voter ID. Strict chain of custody rules. Easy Peasy.

[Brian Griffin]

The Chinese can buy voter registration data just like the parties can.

Or a Democrat can leave a USB Flash Drive on a desk for the likes of Fang-Fang Bang-Bang.

[Texas resident]

We will always have elections.
Problem is that they are not trust worthy anymore.
When obama ran for re election, he had a record. A bad record. He was re elected anyway.

[KingLudd]

“All paper. Voter ID. Strict chain of custody rules. Easy Peasy.”

While we’re at it, can we have the ink-stained-thumb indicator instead of the “I Voted” sticker?

[Brian Griffin]

The Chinese have spies in all major American companies.

China knows most of what Amazon knows.

[Leaning Right]

ChiCom interference plus buckets of money from trash like the Soros family.

What could possibly go wrong?

And now a ray of hope: Trump overcame all of that, and took the White House in 2024. So you never can tell.

[PGalt]

Yes. 1 day election. A national holiday. Results known as soon as the polls close. We have the technology. Do we have representation?

The Income & Property Tax Free Country Act of 2026

Each state government shall be entitled to create new countries. The territory of each country shall be such that navigation to an ocean or the Gulf of Mexico is possible.

Each such country shall given a constitution, which shall provide, in perpetuity, that it shall be forever revenue limited to:
1. motor fuel sales taxation not exceeding 50% by value, and
2. personal property sales taxation not exceeding 20% nor the value of 10 grams of gold per capita per annum.

Each such country shall be deemed to have a treaty with the United States, which shall, in perpetuity:
1. ensure each American citizen who becomes a citizen and permanent resident of such a country shall not suffer a revenue imposition from any government of the United States,
2. ensure each American citizen who becomes a citizen and permanent resident of such a country shall not be subject to any extraterritorial power of any government of the United States,
3. ensure that country shall have free civilian navigation to and from international waters, and
4. bar the placement of foreign military means within the physical bounds of the country.

That can be done by majority vote:

“The Congress shall have power to dispose of...the territory or other property of the United States”

ARTICLE IV, SECTION 3

[Macoozie]

In most districts it will be a Selection made by the entrenched system.
Choices premade.
Outcomes predetermined.

Choice in elections is nearly just an illusion.

[Mr. Jeeves]

And now a ray of hope: Trump overcame all of that, and took the White House in 2024. So you never can tell.

But a non-entity like Kamala Harris supposedly got 75 million votes - when there aren't 75 million sentient beings in the entire universe who would actually take the trouble to cast ballots for her.

Contrary to the widely promoted Democrat slogan that "Trump only complains about elections he loses", The Cheat was operating in full force in 2024. But just as in 2016, due to an utterly unpalatable candidate at the top, it wasn't quite enough.

[Round Earther]

Invalidate every voter registration.

Require that everyone show up at their nearest federal courthouse on Election Day with their U.S. Passport. Check their credentials, register them to vote.

Then, let them vote.

[The Louiswu]

It’s not who votes but who counts the votes

[kvanbrunt2]

PA has again “motor voter” registration so anyone that gets the driver license is registered to vote. We know it registers many ineligible voters and Josh Shapiro will do nothing to fix this. But did those ineligible voters actually vote. This is fairly easy to reconcile. The voter roles system is Statewide Uniform Registry of Electors (SURE) for PA are public info and can be downloaded for a small fee. I have them and the mail ballot application lists also available. You can see who voted. Many do not vote. The Feds should publish the list of ineligible voters simple. They have a dead list already. In summary, i don’t like throwing a big scare quote numbers out there because if refuted then the media can use strawman to attack the other arguments. I reality there are about 10,000 voters who got and returned mail in ballots that do not have valid voter ID’s and need to be verified. I told the DOJ guy this information. However, they were lawyers. Which means they have no idea what they are doing. The real case is why those numbers don’t agree and the processes involved that create the discrepancy. And violations of these election processes carry no penalties.

U.S. Passport

Not everyone has a passport. Up until late last year I didn’t have one.

[Leaning Right]

I have a slightly different take on 2016. I think the Hillary campaign was just overconfident and lazy. Hillary was a shoo-in. Every poll showed that. So why bother with a lot of cheating?

I even ready somewhere that Hillary’s staff didn’t even prepare a concession speech ahead of time, just in case.

Their time was better spent getting the celebration balloons ready.

I do agree with you on 2024.

[Brian Griffin]

Voter registration could be integrated with the census.

The census requires every person to be counted.

The census could be every four years, or even two years.

The census could track people by a number of means.

Trump could have absolute ‘Smoking Gun’ tapes proving the worst possible election fraud imaginable, but it would not make any difference to about half the country. The next day on the “View,” they’d continue shouting the mantra of “No Evidence.”

[Savage Beast]

The lack of outrage is of serious concern.

Of course, the reason for this is Democrat Party propaganda designed to diminish the concern about lack of election integrity, dutifully echoed by Democrat Party flunkeys, notably in the newsmedia, because Democrat politicians depend heavily upon election fraud to get elected.

However, it's surprising, to me, that public outrage is not greater than it is.
