Matt Gaetz (R-FL): Democrats ‘Are Testing What They Can Get Away With’ to ‘Steal 2020’
Breitbart ^ | 13 Nov 2018 | Robert Kraychik

Posted on 11/14/2018 4:23:30 AM PST by Mr. Mojo

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) told Breitbart News Editor-in-Chief Alex Marlow that Democrats are “stress-testing the integrity of our election system” to build a “road-map on how to steal the election from Donald Trump in 2020,” offering his remarks on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily.

Gaetz discussed ostensible vote recount efforts in Florida: “The law requires certain reporting and transparency to occur regarding who voted, when they voted, and by what means they voted. That transparency isn’t just to make us feel better, it’s the kryptonite to fraud, because if we know how people are voting you’re able to triangulate against any of the fraudsters that would cast the illegal ballots.”

Gatez remarked, “Brenda Snipes has just decided there are certain things she’s not going to tell us and wasn’t going to tell us. So we had to go to court, and the courts ruled that the supervisor of elections violated the Florida Constitution by standing in the way of public access. What’s most concerning is that between election day and now, over 80,000 ballots have just been like spoken into existence. They weren’t acknowledged to even exist on election night, and then lo and behold, the Democrats needed more votes to close gaps, and more ballots continued to be found.

Gaetz joked, “Hell, I still think they’re finding votes of Al Gore down in Broward County.”

Gaetz stated, “In a lot of our Republican counties, we play it by the books. Our supervisors of elections don’t cut corners. They follow the law. So in a recount, you often don’t get a whole lot of new votes from Republican areas. It’s in the Democrat areas where all of a sudden there are mystery boxes of ballots and votes that are counted.”

“Brenda Snipes has just decided there are certain things she’s not going to tell us and wasn’t going to tell us.”

The arrogance is stunning. When I was in charge of elections it was clear that if even ONE infraction occurred regarding The Elections Code there would be Hell to pay, and on many levels. Just failing to publish the date of an election, or publishing it a day late or early, was a huge deal. Lost job. New election costing thousands and thousands of dollars. Possible criminal charges.

I wish I knew I could’ve blatantly defied every law without consequences. It’s just stunning what’s going on down there. Can’t even wrap my head around it.

fake “investigation” and nobody gets arrested

Yep forgot about the rino’s. CW is the only answer. Pick a side and live with it. We can’t count on voting anymore as they cheat everywhere, the only answer is CW.

“I am sooooo sick of this sh*t. Demorats are killing a good country. Time for blood.”

To fix something that has gone too far to one side, the only way to bring back the balance is to go too far to the other side. Finding a couple of boxed filled with a few thousand provisional ballots from Dade County would have done the trick.

It would have forced the rats to cry bloody murder and demand the votes not be included. Saying “every vote should be counted, except Republican votes would have made for a nice meme and forced an act by congress to fix this once and for all.

Laws mean nothing if not enforced.

We need someone with the manhood to enforce them, despite the screams of protest from the dems and whatever rhetoric they try to use to paint us as the bad guys.

“Do all states have provisional ballots?”

I would think they’d have to, since there are legitimate reasons for them. For instance, a woman gets married and changes her name and never thinks to contact the Elections Office. She is who she is, and is registered to vote, but the last name doesn’t match. We called them “Challenged Ballots”.

The way they’re handled normally is highly regimented and there’s no reason that some just pop up here and there at random times. We had LOCKED metal ballot boxes for all ballots at each polling place. One locked box was just for Challenged Ballots. (There should be no reason for provisional ballots to be anywhere but the polling place.)

All locked metal boxes were immediately taken to the Counting Center when the polls closed. The number of boxes had to match the number that precinct was given. The Elections Supervisor unlocked the boxes, and the ballots were batched and run immediately.

It was all done behind huge windows and anybody would watch.

It’s not hard. Snipes is despicable, and a criminal. That’s all there is to it.

“The GOP is in charge. Why don’t they prevent election fraud?”

Really good question.

The awesome Pammy Blondi was AG two years ago when Ms. Brenda Snipes was flagrantly breaking law after law to steal an election.

Why did she not do her duty as the Chief Law Enforcement Officer in Florida?

She should RESIGN!

I’d like to see President Trump have the Department of Homeland Security set aside $50B for election reform. Each state gets about $1B (less for Rhode Island, more for California) but strings are attached and federal oversight is required so that the money is used for its intended purpose.

Imagine Florida with a Republican governor, Republican legislature, and Republican Attorney General, with $1B of “free” money to make sure that Florida will have pristine elections in 2020 and beyond.

Golden opportunity.

Some states will say “no thank you” to the $1B (because they fear reform) but many states would take it and get cleaner elections, and the states that obviously resist election reform should be targeted for close monitoring by federal officials in each election — and lawbreakers should be jailed.

Do not know why but our side is not arresting, convicting and showcasing all these violations of our rights and breaking of laws. That bothers me a lot.

Well....why dont the voters?

Abdicating our responsibility and passing it off to a political party does not absolve us of the results, or lack thereof.

Dont shake the fists too hard at the screen. There are a lot of fat and happy people on the right that arent doing much more than complaining.

He’s right. As it turns they can get away with a hell of a lot. So far a Govenor, 2 Senate saets God knows how many House Seats. Good chance they will steal 2 more Govenors and another Senator. No election a Rat has stolen has ever been undone. Trump is doomed if they don’t wake up.

In the case of FL, Scott was afraid of being called a racist. Until gutless politicians become more like Trump, voter fraud will continue until all is lost.

I'm sure that's true.

But people need to man up. We've already lost the republic -- nowadays we're just a Mob-controlled democracy. But with rampant and blatant election fraud, it's not even a democracy. We're just ruled by crooks who steal elections. And they get away with it? Because we're all scared that they will call us names?

Time to get serious and fight for the country.

I’m with you and sitting here waiting for leadership that will properly direct our efforts. We can’t continue to allow a wild haired, incompetent racial radical in Florida to continue unimpeded. I’ll do what’s needed to help my kids & g’kids.

The only thing standing between them and a total takeover is Donald Trump. He’s the only one with balls. The sooner they get rid of him the sooner they can implement their one-party rule.

Year after year, change after change, the demodummies have been testing and getting by with underhanded elections which turn out in their candidates favor. There has been positive evidence that what ever election results turn out to be close, they manage to come up with the adequate amount of votes to get their candidate across the finish line. I cry “FOUL” as the odds of a demodummie candidate winning EVERY TIME is highly unlikely, yet, the come out on top. The voting system is definitely broken! Scrap the entire process, create all new UNIVERSAL RULES so that every election process, in every state is exactly the same. Eliminate all the “loophole” votes. Simply have the same rules for every person that votes. Maybe THEN, an honest and fair outcome will surface...…. Make it harder, if not impossible for any party to cheat...……… Yes, I am dreaming but believe me it CAN BE DONE!

The Dims understand that politics is a blood sport and the winner achieves absolute power—or close to it. Consequently, they go all in to win elections, doing whatever they can get by with to manufacture votes and change the outcome. We saw this will Al Franken’s Senate victory in Minnesota a decade ago. The Dims kept counting, supported by friendly judges, and sure enough, Coleman’s lead evaporated and landslide Al won his first term. In response, the GOP collectively shrugged.

Congressman Gaetz is spot-on; the antics we’re witnessing in Florida (and elsewhere) are a dress rehearsal for 2020. The race is going to be tight, and the Dims are perfecting techniques they will use to tip close races in their favor. What’s the GOP doing? The usual, collective yawn, with the notable exceptions of Rick Scott, Matt Gaetz, and Marco Rubio. The Republicans play by Queensbury rules then appear shocked when the Dims slug them with a set of brass knuckles.

Politics is war—nothing less. Until the GOP learns that lesson (and acts accordingly), they will keep losing elections.

I believe the first attempt to steal an election was Roy Moore's AL senate race.

Whether you like Moore or not, the left went full bore on false ads, poured in lots of money and shipped in muslims and blacks from out of state to steal the election.

I remember saying at the time, if they get away with this they are only going to do more of it the next time. And it happened.

The Republican party let it all happen to Judge Moore and they did not defend him. If they don't do everything they can to right this they will get even more of it in 2020.

Where the Hell has he been? They’ve been perfecting this for the better part of 15 years. They WILL steal 2020 outright, and none of these spineless Republicrats are going to do anything about it.
