With Locally-run Elections, a Handful of Big Dem Cities Now Can Control Entire U.S.
American Thinker ^ | Selwyn Duke

Posted on 11/08/2020 2:44:05 AM PST by RoosterRedux

Democrats have lamented how the Electoral College gives smaller states outsized influence over presidential elections. But consider what they’ve done via illegal means: given a handful of Democrat-run, major cities far greater influence over the current election.

That is, with vote-fraud being mainly a Democrat-big-city phenomenon, we now face the prospect that shenanigans in Philadelphia, Detroit, Milwaukee, Atlanta and some other leftist metropolises will be the deciding factor in who takes the White House next year.

(If you doubt this, know that ex-Democrat governor Rod Blagojevich just called such vote fraud a “time-honored” Democrat tradition. All connected Democrats know this, by the way.)

Such corruption has made some wonder how it is that we have state- and locally-controlled elections for federal offices when these contests affect the whole nation. It’s a good question, and the answer is that this is part of the wide-ranging powers states are constitutionally granted.

Good morning Rooster -

The past several months there have been articles as well as (unconstitutional) actions by a few states on how to fix or “fix” the problems associated with our elections. This article hits the nail on the head of what would be required, quoting one of our country’s founders:

“At the end of the day, though, a better remedy still is one far more difficult to effect: constitutionalism and its prerequisite, morality in the people. As Founding Father John Witherspoon warned, a “republic once equally poised, must either preserve its virtue or lose its liberty, and by some tumultuous revolution, either return to its first principles, or assume a more unhappy form.” “

Given the state of our culture/morality, the prospect of a renewed morality seems extremely remote.

Mornin'!;-)

Yep. This article points out why this election is far from over.

If it is not challenged, the electoral college system has been destroyed de facto by the blue cities. It's not just the Trump presidency under threat here, it's not even just the electoral college under threat.

The entire country is being overthrown by a handful of Democrat run cities.

This cannot stand.

Stop blaming Democrats and big cities.

Election laws reside with state legislatures....and Republicans control the majority of state legislatures.

Republicans should have been writing solid election laws that eliminate all the loopholes that will allow Democrats to get away with their fraud.

When the Pennsylvania Supreme Court (packed with Soros Dems) started re-writing election laws in September, the legislature had time to assert its constitutional authority over election law in time for the November ballot.

They did nothing.

Philadelphia and Pittsburgh have kept poll watchers out because the PA Legislature did not make it mandatory that poll watchers be present.....did you know that?

Also, the Pennsylvania law states that signatures are required for some things, but not others.

These loopholes never should have existed. We have a full-time legislature that makes the time to name bridges, but cannot write good election law.

There are enough loopholes to allow this election to stand for Biden.

We only have ourselves to blame.

“The entire country is being overthrown by a handful of Democrat run cities.”

As well as states that alter their election laws during the election itself.

If your wife inadvertently left the back door unlocked before going to bed and a kidnapper came in and took your children, would you say to her that she only has herself to blame?

"We only have ourselves to blame."

Why screw around with that crap, it's all Eve's fault.

People turned out in record numbers, in person and in advance, only to have 3% of the votes altered by software specifically designed to alter the outcome of elections. It's CIA software applied to a US Federal election and that's not "only ourselves".

If you dumped 130k+ votes all for Biden in the middle of the night confess and tell the world you're guilty. Otherwise don't try that "ourselves" crap unless you mean yourself and the mouse in your pocket.

This is exactly why there's a Second Amendment and if there aren't people willing to go to the mat an apply it as intended if need be, then you can blame the people who wouldn't put their butt on the line to end this corruption once and for all.

Most in the GOP are not our friends. Watch the first of many come out into the light to congratulate the criminal frauds who stole the election. The media, big tech, the GOP china, soros and others are all in against the American people. I say this again STOP purchasing and using anything that contributes to these scumbags 69 million people can make a difference. Each and every person can do something and it begins here. Shut them down

“... the legislature had time to assert its constitutional authority over election law in time for the November ballot.

They did nothing.”

You need to read Alito’s opinion on the matter. What exactly should the PA legislature have done?

It had earlier in 2020 lawfully addressed its election laws and wrote into statute that all ballots had to be received by 8 pm on election day. The PA Supreme Court decided that was “unconstitutional” and extended the deadline. So exactly what was the legislature to do then to change it back to 8 pm? Make it 9 pm? I don’t mean to be flip or sarcastic here, but it did go to the US Supreme Court and it will be coming back there. There were no other avenues.

What is not being reported is whether the current PA count includes or does not include those ballots. I’ve seen it reported both ways. I can write more on this, but will stop here since I think I responded to your point in blaming the GOP state legislature.

“With Locally-run Elections, a Handful of Big Dem Cities Now Can Control Entire U.S.”

That is exactly how the Bolsheviks seized power and created the USSR, and how the communists tried to take over Spain from 1936-1939 (without popular support outside of some key cities). The Bolsheviks won the ensuing civil war in the USSR, while they lost it in Spain.

We will survive this, however, from now on I am only voting for local propositions and positions etc. My township only.

John James won’t run again. Detroit obviously has so much fraud in place, shown for the last two elections, that it’s a waste of my time to vote for anything statewide or national in the future.

I’m not posting this to receive replies or flames.
