President Donald Trump told a crowd of eager rallygoers in Minden, Nevada, last week that voting in person on Election Day could potentially lessen the chances of election fraud in the 2022 midterms.
“Early voting begins Oct. 22,” he said, “but far better than voting by mail-in ballot…Go to the booth. Go on Election Day and vote in person on Election Day.”
He added, “It makes it much harder for them to cheat.”
Since 2020, nationwide reports of election fraud, ballot trafficking, and vote-counting irregularities have plagued America. Despite mainstream obfuscation and claims of “election conspiracy theories,” the evidence has been laid bare, and the verdict is clear: American citizens don’t trust the election system anymore.
A 2022 poll conducted this summer by Rasmussen Reports shockingly revealed that 83 percent of likely voters in the U.S. are concerned about election integrity, and 75 percent are worried about cheating as the midterm elections loom closer.
These concerns are hardly unwarranted, given the flood of audits, reported inconsistencies, and dubious election software issues that have come to light over the past two years.
A Laundry List of Problems
Despite claims that the 2020 election was the most secure in history, evidence suggests otherwise. It would be foolish to ignore the concerns citizens across the country have raised.
Most prominently, Dinesh D’Souza’s documentary film, “2000 Mules,” handily eviscerated shocking evidence of a nationwide ballot trafficking conspiracy that allegedly impacted the total 2020 ballot vote count in five key battleground states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
Per RSBN:
“With the criterion set at an average of 38 drop box visits with five illegal ballots per drop by 2,000 mules, 380,000 illegal votes are estimated to be stolen. D’Souza alleges in the film that this would flip presidential election results in several of the swing states and net President Trump a 279 electoral vote victory.
Even more shocking, lowering the criterion to an average of five drop box visits with three ballots per drop by 54,000 mules totals 810,000 illegal votes. This calculation would result in a 305 electoral vote victory for President Trump.”
However, D’Souza’s film is hardly the only presentation of election problems that have surfaced recently. Tina Peters, a former Mesa County Clerk in Colorado, came forward with her story about irregularities she witnessed during the 2020 election, releasing three major “Mesa Reports” that included a backup copy of her county’s voting system server.
As previously reported by RSBN, a new server was installed post-election through a “trusted build” process that merged with the old system. Peters alleged that the number of ballots did not transfer accurately from one system to the next, and evidence suggested that the original server may have been wiped clean.
President Trump urges Americans to vote Republican in November.In February 2022, a jaw-dropping informational hearing in Wisconsin surrounding election fraud identified countless irregularities during the 2020 election. Per RSBN, the hearing revealed over 50,000 fraudulent votes and 1.5 million potentially illegal voter registrations.
In 2021, an audit in Arizona’s Maricopa County further identified nearly 700,000 total ballots with major issues. For example, the audit alleged that 17,126 ballots appeared to be duplicates, and 173,104 were blatantly “fraudulent” ballots.
In August, election integrity organization True the Vote welcomed Marly Hornik, the director of the New York Citizens Audit, who unveiled a small taste of election problems in New York state. She stated that the voter rolls had been “weaponized” and that her organization had reportedly pinpointed more than three million false voter registrations and potentially eight million more beyond that.
To make matters worse, the Public Interest Legal Foundation recently identified 3.1 million New York voter registrations that were missing important information, like social security numbers or driver’s license numbers.
These election problems are just the tip of the iceberg, and they only touch on a small sampling of states.
Don’t Trust the Ballot Boxes
D’Souza’s documentary primarily focused on evidence of ballot traffickers, or “mules,” who allegedly dumped thousands upon thousands of ballots into drop boxes across the country. Drop boxes were placed throughout the U.S. in 2020 because of the Covid pandemic, and they have drawn suspicion ever since for their lack of regulation and supervision.
In July, the Wisconsin State Supreme Court ruled that absentee drop boxes were illegal. The majority opinion states, “Electoral outcomes obtained by unlawful procedures corrupt the institution of voting, degrading the foundation of free government. Unlawful votes do not dilute lawful votes so much as they pollute them, which in turn pollutes the integrity of the results.”
PILF’s report on missing information on NY State’s voter registrations.Keep in mind that most of these election problems tend to revolve around one central issue: voting by mail or using ballot drop boxes. While voting machines and their tabulation software are dubious enough on their own, it’s relevant to note that voting in person ensures that your ballot is at least reaching the polling place on Election Day.
In the August primary election for Arizona, for example, the media shamelessly reported that GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake was losing her race, with mostly mail-in ballots providing the basis for that projection. However, Lake won every single county in the entire state as soon as same-day ballots began flooding in.
“They had not put in a single vote from Election Day when the first batch of numbers came out,” Lake told RSBN. “And then they very slowly started to release the Election Day vote.”
Just Vote in Person
With all the various problems surrounding ballot drop boxes and mail-in ballots, President Trump has a point in urging Americans to head to the polls on Nov. 8. Voting in person on Election Day does indeed make it harder for possible shadowy players to predict which way the vote might go. It makes it harder to adjust for potential cheating in real-time.
With the country in chaos and Eastern Europe on the brink of nuclear war, the results of the 2022 midterm elections must be clean and clear. Head to your local polling place on Nov. 8 and cast your ballots in person if you can.
As Trump said this past weekend in Nevada: “The only way evil will triumph is for good men and women to do nothing…that’s how they triumph.”
I remember going with my folks to vote. As a decorated WWII veteran my dad considered a solemn and serious event that our veterans fought and died to preserve, and I’m glad he is no longer alive to see the “malarky” that has been done to corrupt our elections. If there is one thing that all Americans ought to agree on regardless of party, it is fair and honest elections.
That a good sized chunk of one party does not tells you just about all you need to know about where we are heading. It’s a damned shame that “Election Integrity” is not the #1 issue in politics because without that, what difference do the other issues make?
I’ve never voted any other way, even through all the years I worked various shifts. When they allowed early voting, unlimited absentee ballots, etc., they opened the door for the ability of malevolent people to commit even more voter fraud.
Same here. I always get a good feel for how the election is going in my precinct by showing up and getting in line. My wife has worked as a poll worker for years and she tells me that it is almost impossible to cheat an in-person vote. You mark your own ballot and personally place it into the machine.
On the other hand, mail-in ballots are treated much differently. We saw how they put butcher paper on the windows in the 2020 election so nobody could see inside. We saw how they stopped counting at 3AM in the morning in the battleground states where Trump was leading, so that all those mail-in ballots could be manipulated to deliver Biden the victory.
What are the chances Trump is leading in six battleground states with 90% or more of the vote counted, and then end up losing because the count was stopped in the middle of the night when everybody was sleeping? Then in the middle of the night, amazing miracle, Biden suddenly surges into the lead in every single one of those states. This was made possible because millions of people submitted their ballots by mail because they were afraid of the big, bad COVID.
In person voting also gives you an idea of enthusiasm.
In 2000 the polling station was packed full of people.
Same in 2016.
2012 was a bit of a dud, everyone knew Obama would be re-elected and many didn’t bother voting.
Voting early is the best bet.
Eliminates the ability of the Dems to steal your vote with a bogus absentee ballot filed in you name.
Most of the arguments people cite against this are retarded.
Don’t see anything wrong with in-person early voting. Up here in N.GA it’s the same process regardless of which day it’s on. If you only do in-person voting on a single day, there can be massive lines and hours of wait-time. Might discourage the lazy welfare class, but on the other hand Dems have always cheated no matter the vote process.
“When the federal statutes speak of ‘the election’… they plainly refer to the combined actions of voters and officials meant to make a final selection of an officeholder… By establishing a particular day as ‘the day’ on which these actions must take place, the statutes simply regulate the time of the election, a matter on which the Constitution explicitly gives Congress the final say.” Foster v. Love, 522 U.S. 67, 71-72 (1997).
*THE DAY* – THIS IS VITAL
The voters vote. The officials count. These combined actions form “the election,” and the election must be decided on *the day*. States that failed to make a final selection of officeholder by midnight after Election Day have violated the statute, subjecting the nation at large to the very evils Congressionally mandated deadlines were drafted to prevent.
Federal Election Day statutes were designed to curtail fraud, and to infuse a prima facie sense of integrity in our electoral process. But these States – in failing to obey Congressional deadlines – have flagrantly attempted to preempt federal law.
Agreed, but is it a mistake for Republicans not to embrace and take advantage of the changed election paradigm?
In NC we’re being primed daily on the paper shortage. Of course that means in R districts. And I’m sure R districts will be short; their ballots are in the inner city boiler rooms being used for us
Look, this is just ramping up the process that began in Florida in the aftermath of the 2000 Presidential election. The objective is to use process changes and technology in voting to create DELIBERATE AMBIGUITY about the results to enable increasingly inventive forms of cheating.
The first time I remember going with my Dad when he voted was 1960, New York had these wonderful mechanical voting machines where you changed the state of a mechanical lever to vote, and opened the curtain with a big red lever which locked your votes and reset the levers. These machines were invented to limit paper ballot cheating, but like paper ballots, they would yield a tally by the early morning hours of the following day, and that was that. Yes, you could recount the ballots or re-tally the machines, but the results existed in physical form in the possession of authorities (i.e., the results were “analog”). In essence, “Election Day” was when everything happened and by Wednesday morning it was over.
What has been happening since 2000 (and maybe before) is the use of media, and technology, to create a condition where nobody knows what the result truly is - nobody knows how many votes were cast, nobody knows which votes count and which ones don’t, and the final tally can change for days and even weeks (or until the Democrat wins). Most of the results, and now a lot of the votes themselves, are no longer analog but digital, and exist only as an ordered set of electrons, subject to change in many ways by many people.
This has created a fundamental change in public perception, and you can see it even here on FR. People go on and on about whether or not a winner has been “declared”, usually by media people who have no access to the real data. As electronic voting, and now even apps meant to run on handhelds, define reality, we may be approaching or already be at the point where most people are accepting of the proposition that “nobody knows who won, we have to rerun the program, we have to call in the experts, it was Russian bots, it was Craig Livingstone, etc., etc.).
This problem is of course compounded by early voting, mail-in voting, drop boxes, absentee voting, overseas voting, etc.
On election night in 1932, everybody knew that FDR had won a big victory - that in a country with no electronic media, no computers, and half paralyzed by depression. On election night in 1952, there were more votes for Eisenhower than Stevenson, and everybody knew THAT.
Eight years ago (a century in digital years), Hugh Hewitt wrote a book called, “If It’s Not Close, They Can’t Cheat”. As long as people believe that only digital wizards can actually determine the result, that may no longer be true.
If we could conduct and tally elections in 1932 and 1952, we should be able to do it now - except that would upset our masters, who have worked so hard to create the status quo. They certainly won’t give it up without a fight.

I also check the voter registration lists for dead relatives. Someone registered my mother to vote two times after she died (in 2016 and again in 2020). Both times I was able to get her removed from the rolls before any mail in ballots were sent out.
Make election day a national holiday.
The only people who can vote by mail are the military. Polling places could be guarded by National Guard.
Nursing homes could have their own polling place, guarded by the National Guard.
The National Guard would protect all of the ballots.
Poll watchers from both parties would also be allowed to watch, but in no way interfere with the National Guard.
(Just spit balling)
Best option of all - take your mail in ballot to the polls on election day.
I don't agree. Voting early gives Democrats the opportunity to commit fraud even more. In some States, these early ballots, as well as absentee ballots are processed, and counted days and weeks prior to Election Day, and provides fraudsters the information they need to produce more phony ballots prior to Election Day.
When states can begin processing and counting absentee/mail-in ballots, 2022
BTTT
Absolutely, my good FRiend.
VOTE EARLY!
VOTE IN PERSON!
I voted a few days ago, easy breezy.
No worries about any last-minute contingencies (shortage of ballots, catching a colds and not wanting to spread, etc).
And, encourage your like-minded friends and acquaintances to vote, and call to follow up.
Thanks in advance!
Plus you get the surprise factor. Look at what happened to Kari Lake. They thought she had lost and then boom election day votes cam in.
Read my #30 above.
Great post, thank you.
The big push to digital voting and its associated fraud came with the 2000 election. Much was made of "butterfly ballots" and "hanging chads." We, the voting public, were told by the media and the powers that be that the paper ballots were confusing and evil.
The clarity of Election Day and the finality of the vote needs to be restored. We need to get rid of, once and for all, the "Election Day miasma" that has been introduced.
