How Democrats try to hijack elections
Washington Times ^ | Jul 11, 2019 | Scott Walker

Posted on 07/14/2019 7:08:22 AM PDT by centurion316

Pick a state, any state, and sue until it’s blue.

That is the strategy of former President Barack Obama and his Attorney General Eric Holder when it comes to redistricting. They’ve spent millions of dollars on their fight to gerrymander Democrats into permanent (or at least long-term) control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

And along the way, they’ve fooled many in the media into believing that they are fighting for “fair maps” while pushing an agenda that puts redistricting into the hands of unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats and life-time appointed, activist judges.

Thankfully, the U.S. Supreme Court — just recently — pulled the federal courts out of the business of picking winners and losers in redistricting cases. A judiciary forced to consider such inherently political questions would become just another partisan branch of government. Americans deserve an impartial, independent judiciary, and that is what they got with the ruling from the nation’s highest court. We won a major battle but this is not the end of our fight.

KEYWORDS: democratstrategy; redistricting
This article reminds us that the Democrat Party is an organized criminal syndicate, using every legal and illegal gambit available to them to seize and hold political power. The fight will never end. Mr Trump understands this and is leading the most effective counteroffensive that I have seen in my 72 years.

The Never Trumpers and the other Washington Establishment types don't like fighting the Democrats, it's unseemly and makes them unpopular at the establishment clubs, the social circuit, and the insider who pass out very lucrative opportunities that bring wealth to the elites at our expense.

Walker is fighting the right fight, one that we must win. I hope that, even with the Supreme Court victory, we have the time and the means of winning the war. The real battle is not the 2020 election which Trump will win. The real battle is redistricting in the wake of the 2020 Census.

Look at what those corrupt judges did in Pennsylvania. The state legislature should have impeached those 5 rat judges, removed them from the courthouse in hand cuffs and dragged toward the execution chamber. That is the only “justice” they deserve.

In AZ, our Redistricting Committee was supposed to be 2 R’s, 2 D’s and 1 Indy. Sadly (but not surprisingly) the Indy lied and was really a D. The 3 D’s met in private (illegal), drew up a D favorable map (illegal), voted on it (illegal) and put it into place. Gov Brewer sued and a D judge threw out the lawsuit. This new Districts created included one gerrymandered for Kirsten Sinema (a formerly open Communist) so she could vote ‘moderately’ in the House and get her Bona Fides for the Senate.

The Dems will cheat every which way from Wednesday and then D judges will either support them or look the other way.

WE HAD BETTER BE PREPARED.

Too late for Virginia.

Our next state election is this November and will be run using maps drawn by a UC Irvine professor at the direction of the court.

Bush League Republicans are in on it.

They ARE progressives with the same goal of turning the USA into North Mexico.

The Arizona Case is a perfect example of how the war is being waged. The Democrats are not following the Geneva Convention. Like their political cousins, the Nazis, the Japanese, and the Chicoms, the Democrats will do whatever it takes to win.

Crooked judges and the media are willing and enthusiastic allies.

Democraps thought changing US demographics (that they jet-streamed over the border) moved enough in their favor to guarantee permanent majorities. But 2016 showed they don’t have it yet and it’s not happening fast enough. Dims fully expected to win back the Senate in 2018----and spent a fortune on Senate candidates.

But they were up against one man. Donald Trump tirelessly campaigned to huge crowds for Republican candidates. Democraps are still smarting over Republicans holding on to the all-important Senate.

============================

THE SYSTEM IS ON OUR SIDE: Our system anticipates politicians' craven desire to consolidate power, and specifically prevents it.
The Left does not like limits to its power, but those limits exist. And there's NOTHING they can do about it!

========================================

NEED TO DO NOW Trump has to get rid of the leftover Obamatons who are still manipulating the immigration agencies....
placing border jumpers in electoral college states.....registering them to vote Democrat before they violate our borders.

But consider that vile vote harvesting schemes have affected (and can affect) only ONE
body of the Federal government: the House of Representatives........

- No matter how much vote harvesting they do, it will not affect the Senate (there are already two democrats from California).

-No matter how much vote harvesting they do, it will not affect the Presidency (California's number of electors is fixed until the next census, and the number of VOTES does not affect electoral allocation).

-No matter how much vote harvesting they do, it will not affect the Courts (California has a say in the population of the courts only through its senators, which are already chosen, and both are already democrats).

- California will likely LOSE representatives after the 2020 census, with illegal immigration being thwarted and a citizenship question likely being on the 2020 census (currently being litigated in court). (hat tip cotton 1776)

A political philosophy based on Freedom and Liberty will always be one of our advantages, especially since the Democrats will never have a coherent political core belief. They will embrace genocide if they believed that it would provide them a leg up.

The Democrats will always be evil and deceitful and they are very smart, they can never be trusted.

“The Democrats are getting very ‘strange’,” Trump tweeted.

They are their own worst enemy.

Encouraged by left-wing activists and the media, Democrats are performing litmus tests like lab technicians. supporting proposals that are impossible, extreme or oversimplified. Many of these have merit. The problem is that they have become a battery of binary tests of ideological purity – allowing Trump to caricature Democrats as extremist.

Republican politicians do not like to fight, it musses up their hair dos and upsets the social set. Trump is showing them how to fight and we should reward those who catch on to what he is doing.

We should not fear radical Democrats, we should fear phony Republicans and Democrats who are pretending to be reasonable moderates.

Or just continue to extend the counting until you count enough ballots to win.
