Are Recent Reports of COVID Surges an Attempt to Suppress In-Person Voting?
American Thinker ^ | 10/26/2020 | Brian C. Joondeph

Back in March, the COVID mantra was, “15 days to slow the spread”, meaning flattening the curve. The purpose was to avoid overwhelming the medical system as no one really knew what we were up against with the Wuhan virus.

This allowed time for the system to adapt and recalibrate to this new illness. As the virus peaked in mid-April, the subsequent months should have been the normal course of a viral pandemic, some getting sick to varying degrees, others unfortunately dying, but eventually reaching herd immunity, itself a longstanding concept -- suddenly controversial.

This has been the course of past flu seasons and other viral pandemics, but none lead to shutting down economies all over the world, causing incalculable financial and social devastation to cities, states, countries, and individuals. Just when we see a light at the end of the tunnel there is a reported surge in cases, often timed to political events.

The first surge was in mid-summer, as businesses were opening and the presidential campaigns began in earnest with nominating conventions. President Trump’s rallies energized his base and are a unique feature to his campaign, something Sleepy Joe Biden could in no way replicate. Conveniently the surge put a damper on Trump rallies.

The second surge is now, just weeks before the 2020 presidential election. The Atlantic, one of many left-wing mouthpieces for the Democrat party, framed it politically, “The Coronavirus surge that will define the next four years.” How exactly does a viral illness define a future presidential term? Easily, if this has never been about the virus but instead about the election.

One only needs to look back to January 15, the same day, coincidentally or not, when the first case of the Chinese flu arrived in the US,

Good grief...what was the first clue? And planned market scare and drop tried today. PDJT should call it out. It will backfire and cause Democrats to stay at home.

Problem is conservatives are more likely to vote on the proper constitutional Election Day, and less likely to be scared of this stupid virus.

I and my family survived the Communist Chinese Death Plague virus, and were immune when we voted Saturday

Of course. Totalitarian parties do what they have to to obtain power

We are Seniors, and can’t stand in long lines, so we chose Eearly voting, enough of Hiding Biden known, along with his treasonus relatives, cheating mail ballots was known.

IT FAILED, RECORD LIVE IN PERSON EARLY VOTING. WE MASKED UP, AND WAITED 1.5 HRS TO VOTE DAY 1, LINE STARTED AT 7 AM, POLLS OPENED AT 8:30 AM. DIDN’T LET UP TILL LAST DAY, COLD, DRIZZING RAIN. We had just4 machines, 2 in use,2 being ‘cleaned’.

Every voting age group were in line, in wheelchairs, walkers, canes, bringing grand kids. Line wrapped around the church all 2 weeks of early voting.

No BDiden signs, only 2 in town, Biden=Socialism, in a yard fulll of Trump signs, flags.

Yes, but the conservatives that I talk with are not afraid of the virus. I will crawl over China virus infected hot coals to vote for President Trump next Tuesday. 🇺🇸

The numbers were bound to increase a bit as weather turned colder, but yes, the reporting on it is designed to keep people away.

Virtually all anomalies in voting trends this year are due to the Covid hysteria.

“Problem is conservatives are more likely to vote on the proper constitutional Election Day, and less likely to be scared of this stupid virus.”

That is true, but:

1. Courageous or not, you can’t vote on election day if your polling place is closed because of “COVID lockdown”.

2. Even if the Democrats don’t resort to outright closures, they can resort to maximum confusion and inconvenience to deter Republicans from voting. Ridiculously long — and slow — lines will occur particularly after 5 PM in the respective time zones; i.e. the time after which workers (Republicans) are most likely to show up and want to vote.

The CCP Virus has amazing timing. It always emerges at the exact moment it can benefit Democrats. They need to make it an honorary member of the DNC.

I’m wondering if I should push my mom to vote early.

I can’t help her during the day on the real Nov 3, so we were discussing evening. We have fewer election stations due to COVID lack of volunteers, so that can crowd it up too.

Duh.

And for anyone needing proof, I highly recommend perusing what passes for local news in your neck of the woods.

Your local presstitutes have been busy.

Worse than that I suspect they are going to use Fauci’s contact tracing machine to try and quarantine a whole lot of MAGA voters for Tuesday.
