For elections, we need to think outside our borders: It's a serious problem that half the country thinks our last election was plagued by fraud, but there is a way to ensure that this does not happen again
American Thinker ^ | 03/15/2021 | Ned Cosby

Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer refuse to listen to the cries of millions of Americans who believe that the 2020 presidential election yielded a dubious outcome.  All they seem to care about is winning, while many in this country demand elections that yield trustworthy results.  There is a possible solution for this problem, although Democrats will resent it because it limits opportunities to cheat, and conservatives will resent it because it is profoundly humiliating to America.

What exacerbates the problem of political leaders refusing to acknowledge questions about the 2020 election is that mainstream media and online social networks have conspired to censor complaints that the election of 2020 was mangled in favor of the Democrats.  When seventeen states appealed to the Supreme Court after the election claiming that the Constitution was ignored by battleground states to ensure a victory for Joe Biden, the Supreme Court, seemingly fearful of the new administration (and the threat of court-packing), refused to hear the appeal.  Leaders of the Republican Party, who were anxious to see Donald Trump leave Washington, joined Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer in calling the election legitimate.

A recent article by U. S. News and World Report shows that we compare badly to other democratic governments around the world when you raise the issue of election integrity:

A 2019 report published by the Electoral Integrity Project, an independent project based out of Harvard University, found that U.S. elections from July 2012 through December 2018 rated "lower than any other long-established democracies and affluent societies." Each country in the index was given a score out of 100 based on assessments of the quality of each of its elections — including categories such as electoral laws, voter registration and voting process — one month after polls closed.

NOTE MY FR FRIENDS:

The U.S. score of 61 — the same score as Mexico and Panama — is the second-lowest among liberal democracies and much lower than other countries in the Americas region, including Costa RicaUruguay and ChileDenmarkFinland and Norway are among the top-ranked countries in the index, all with scores in the 80s.

Even though the swamp won't admit it, they have a major credibility problem involving election integrity.  Dubious elections are not new in world history.  Most recently, places like Russia and Venezuela have held elections that were laughable in terms of integrity.  It was sad in 2020 to see our country join them in such bad company.

The Democratic Party is a criminal enterprise.

The only way to end massive election fraud is to outlaw the Democratic party—forever.

There is no other way that will work.

the fraud is real... and the UniParty owns it

The coup, (the real “insurrection” in DC) and the “impeachment” is because Donald Trump upended THE largest, multi-trillion dollar industry in America.

The selling of American Congressional Legislation. The primary industry in DC.

THE issue that binds Red and Blue together in the UniParty is the issue of electoral fraud.Its why certain precincts have voted Red or Blue for over 100 years. Its the means by which Congress and K St lobbyists can guarantee “product delivery” to interests that pay enough.

Various “intelligence agencies” are the enforcement arm. Prolly different ones (there are 17 of them afterall!) supporting different “service lines”

Its mutually assured destruction if either side starts to betray the long-standing inter-generational process.

Whenever the issue starts to bubble too close to the surface we all start getting entertained with “pizza parties” and “SRA” issues/trafficking stories etc.-and other Red-Blue “trigger issues” intended to distract us-but these are only incidental to the business at hand-the selling of the votes and legislation of the most powerful legislative body in the world.

These “trigger issues” are intended to remove our eyes from what is going on right before our very eyes!

These “trigger issues” are the stick the Deep State uses to marshal the votes they need to deliver product.

The contemporary information-digital communications technology has the ability to put an end to all of this -which is why the “information war” on the American electorate. Why “us” versus “them” is finally crystallizing.

Its why they barricaded Capitol Hill, The White House and The Supreme Court

From the article:

"There is a possible solution for this problem, although Democrats will resent it because it limits opportunities to cheat, and conservatives will resent it because it is profoundly humiliating to America...We need to invite delegations from other respectable democracies with reputations for fair elections to come and monitor our elections. Perhaps the humiliating prospect of inviting foreign election monitors will spur our own leaders to clean up election integrity in America."

That would be laughable if the problem were not so tragic.

We had Americans monitoring in 2020, concerned Republicans. How did that work out?

Let the 'rats "invite" foreign teams with no stake in America, and see if they can't pay them off.

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

freedomfirstnetwork.com The Democrats’ con job dubbed “For the People Act,” the much-ballyhooed scheme to codify their 2020 voter fraud, has received plenty of blowback from the political right. Most of us have argued that H.R. 1 creates a perpetual environment that we first saw in 2020 with Covid-19 lockdowns. It must be stopped.

“For elections, we need to think outside our borders: It’s a serious problem that half the country thinks our last election was plagued by fraud, but there is a way to ensure that this does not happen again”

Too late now, though. The thing is, if the (well documented) claims of fraud and cheating were really investigated, real-time, and Trump still lost, there would still be a good portion of his base thinking it was stolen (maybe including Trump himself), but the the country would be split closer to 80/20 thinking it was legit...now we’re 50/50. That is the REASON that investigations are so damn important.

Failing to investigate has now given us a country on the brink of civil war and/or dissolution (or genocide). I guess no one told Roberts that was what he was going to set in place when he said Texas had ‘no standing’ regarding who is running the country.

I have an idea. Let’s pass H.R. 1 “For the People Act” so that all fraudulent forms of voting are now legal! Walla! No more fraud! /s

Won’t work. The problem is not that we BELIEVE the election was stolen, it’s that it WAS stolen and both sides know it. Therefore no external inspection regimen can fix it. If it were an honest election and you wanted to boost confidence then ok. But this is outright fraud and it’s obvious. DC does not want transparency. Notice how NOBODY in DC was outraged over blocking off the windows so they could “count” in secret?
That is literally telling a criminal to help a cop.

There is no way the now-defunct USA will ever recover from the electoral catastrophe of 2020. Every part of our national government failed to ensure the legitimacy of the electoral process in every way imaginable, from the state legislatures, to the state courts, to the USSC, to the US House, to the US Senate, to the Vice Presidency. Every on of these branches of government had multiple opportunities to prevent The Big Steal but willingly chose to let the fraud happen. Indeed, the government itself from top to bottom was complicit in enabling the massive, monstrous electoral fraud.

The Constitution is a dead letter. The Bill of Rights is no longer in force. The Rule of Law is over. The only way forward for those Americans who value their liberty and freedom is to implement nullification, non-compliance, and secession for the illegitimate, tyrannical DC junta that has stolen the election and seized power. We all have just witnessed the end of the former USA and will surely see the ongoing “Fall of the Roman Empire, American Version” in real time from this point forward.

And never forget that the quisling traitors in the GOPee voted overwhelmingly to accept The Big Steal and to screw every one of their voters. GOPee Delenda Est!

A team from Japan and Iraq is the only sane answer. One side can do math really well, the other knows about one day voting and purple fingers. Both have been wiped out by us before so they know the stakes.

I’m so creative, it’s amazing I’m not locked in a room in Silicon Valley to just spew out ideas.

“We need to invite delegations from other respectable democracies with reputations for fair elections to come and monitor our elections.”

One of the worst pieces I have read from American Thinker.

What we need is a war to settle the issue. It won’t be settled at the ballot box.

One side wins, the other loses.
Public executions of traitors.

Then it will be “Morning in America” once again.

Refuse to listen to the cries of millions of Americans.

Voting cures that yet so many fail to do so the risk is in how many do out numbering is the name of the game.
The media and democrats pulled the last scammed election it’s up the the voter to make it’s the last time.

I like the way the Japanese handle election fraud. And, yes, they still have it even though one party, the Liberal Democratic Party has dominated most elections since the end of World War II.

Don't let the name fool you. The LDP is actually fairly conservative and even uses the elephant as their symbol. In large parts of the country, most elections are between factions of the LDP.

But if there is the slightest hint of fraud, a permanent independent investigation agency descends and demands documents and accountability. Those being investigated go out of their way to cooperate in supplying the requested information because they know the IA has very sophisticated statistical tools to estimate, generally to the detriment of the party withholding data.

When all is said and done, the cheating party penalized by six times the number of votes by which they cheated. So, for example, an election won by 1,100 votes where 200 votes were gained by cheating would be transformed into a 100 vote loss as a result of that cheating.

In Japan, they call such things as voter ID, the IA and anti-cheating penalties such as this necessary steps to ensure election integrity. In America, our enemedia and the political party to whom they are subservient would call it voter suppression and racist.

Election fraud has truly become terminal is scale.

In my opinion, large scale theft of elected office has been fundamental to militant leftist DNC control of our government all along.

In my opinion, large scale leftist DNC fraud has been essential to both stealing elections, and achieving THE GREATER OBJECTIVE of destroying our election process and national sovereignty, ALL AT THE SAME TIME.

Election fraud was never really a slow motion creeping corruption problem. Together with hard left wing global socialist mass media (providing cover), election fraud has always been a near insurmountable left wing tool of war against liberty and a sovereign America.

The objective is totalitarian subjugation-slavery of American society to ce.tral socialist government, and global socialist governance.

There are few election accidents conducted by innocent people, just making a few mistakes. Election fraud is premeditated and coordinated, like robbing a bank.

As well, for decades, the RNC is repeatedly complicit in election fraud cover-up, or guilty of election fraud itself.

The RNC-e are doing nothing more than playing “good cop - bad cop” with their voters. They are globalist “progressives” (Fabian socialists in much of their policies). They repeatedly fool Americans with “conservative talking points”, judges, etc... But are often true cultural and economic leftist liars in practice.

Solving this terminal election fraud problem cannot be done by way of those fraudulent office holders, who make the laws. Such a notion is pure foolishness.

Nully's modest proposal to end voter fraud:

Mexico has voter ID cards required to vote, and when you vote, they punch a hole in your card to prevent multiple votes in the same election.

I don't know if you get a 10% discount after you've accumulated enough punched holes…

Of course, all this would only apply to Federal elections, for federal offices, as that is the legitimate concern of the federal government.

Let the states who have local authority use whatever system they wish to force the elections of their favorite sons and daughters to alderman, mayor or goobernor. They can do it the cheap way, by just following the federal rules for all voting, or they can have separate ballots for local and federal. Their call. It's a free country, ain't it?

The idea: “We need to invite delegations from other respectable democracies with reputations for fair elections to come and monitor our elections.”

ROFL, as if the uniparty won’t handpick these delegations to hear nothing, see nothing and say nothing while they use them as proof of election integrity.

Dead-on, and regardless of whether you plan to fight, don’t take too long to get your money out - because, as this country collapses, so will its currency, along with controls being put on that currency to keep from getting to safer ground.
