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.”
“shame that ‘Election Integrity’ is not the #1 issue”
“DITCH MAIL-IN BALLOTS AND VOTE IN PERSON ON ELECTION DAY”
I would, but I am bedridden due to amputation two-weeks ago. Can’t move, lots of pain.
I was first eligible to vote in 1968 when I turned 21. My father took me to the local polling place. It was a small, grey wooden shack on Jay Street in Rochester, New York. You went in one door, signed the registration book, voted in one of those mechanical machines, and left the building through the other door. Those machines were the most accurate, and I don't recall them breaking down very often. They had at least 6-8 machines lined up in a row for people to use. The candidates and their parties were listed in a roster on the wall of the machine. You were required to pull down the small handle under the candidate's name you wanted to vote for. It was easy and quick. When you were done voting, you pulled the curtain open with the same handle you used to close it. It hasn't been that long where I live in NY State, that they brought in the electronic machines.
“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.”
So now mechanical voting machines, with no paper trail and no audit ability are going to prevent cheating? And yes, I remember those old monster machines, and the red handle, they were very cool.
You mention the 1960 election, well Dems stole the Presidency in 1960 in Illinois, no vote by mail, no early voting, no digital wizardry.
I don’t trust voting except in person. I remember a few years ago in Hillsborough County FL, they sorted absentee ballots and most of the Republican ballots went to the trash. There was no traceability and Tampa/Hillsborough are a democrat stronghold.
“The first time I remember going with my Dad when he voted was 1960, New York”
The first time I pulled a lever in a Presidential election was for Eisenhower in 1952 when I was four, in New York. Of course, Mom was the voter, but she let me pull the lever for her. I hardly remember it, but it sounds like what you described — the curtain and big red lever.
“I was hoping that my same-day vote would not have to be an offset because some conservative somewhere was too lazy to vote on Election Day. I was hoping that my same day vote would add to the margin of victory instead. But I will do my best to deliver the conservatives a victory this year on Election Day.”
Wow, what a hero. Get some Ben-Gay, you’ll need it for your arm after you finish patting your self on the back.
Must be one of those early voters!
Let’s see...tonight we should hear if Bolsonaro is re-elected in Brazil. If they can get polling results from the Amazon rainforest in one evening we should be able to get quick results here.
Voting early is an obscenity to our political theology.
You are supposed to LISTEN to the candidates and their supporters. You are (in theory) supposed to make up your mind AFTER everything there is to be said has been said.
This is not supposed to be Kenya, where the Luo line up on one side of the road and vote for their predetermined tribe member and the Kikuyu line up on the other side and vote for their guy.
I know you don’t care about any of that, and in fact you probably have contempt for it. But, “Lex orandi, lex credendi” (the way you pray is the way you believe).
Otherwise, why have campaigns? Why have debates? Why cover the candidates?
Vote on July 4. Republicans vote for the Republican, Democrats vote for the Democrat. Most people, who hate ‘em both, get screwed (again).
Or, even better, cut off “donations” on Labor Day, total ‘em up, most money wins, swear the winner in on Indigenous People’s Day.
Yep. My wife and I were 2 of those election day votes for Kari!
In the 50s you simply went to the location to vote on Tuesday, election day. You did this or you did not vote. Everybody knew this. On one or two of them, my father took me. The booth had a flimsy gray curtain of sorts. My dad lifted me up to reach at the actual levers, for the candidates he wanted, and pull them down. Then we left
The wait was 10 minutes or so
Where did I say I was for early voting?
Maybe we should announce Election Day an official holiday...and celebrate like it was the Fourth of July!
Celebrate our freedom to vote on that Day. Close down Wall Street! and DC and all governments. Everyone has day off and has to vote that day.
Im not even voting early
Spreading more FUD are you sam...
As an aside I will vote however I choose to do so...inperson, by mail, early if I can...just as long as I can vote. This stolen vote stuff has gotten out of hand. When you have people accosting voters at polling places because they drop their ballot off is stupid. I promise you this old man will get right back in anybody’s face that attempts to mess with me while I am voting.
Since you are so worried about your vote being messed with sam I have a question...are you working at a voting site as a poll worker to help ensure no problems arise??? If you are not part of the solution then you are part of the problem...as we used to say in my younger days...:)
You can certainly choose to vote early as you wish. If convenience is more important to you, I cannot stop you from wasting your vote. But I will show up on election day itself to help offset those who are getting their votes stolen by voting early.
I disagree...
It’s this kind of thinking that is contributing to the divisiveness in this country. Besides sam the USPS can barely get the mail delivered...and you think they can plan and execute some kind of conspiracy to “lose” votes do you..??
I just don't trust mail-in votes. Especially when they tape butcher paper over the windows so we can't see what's going on when they count them.
Well sam you entitled to believe what you want about early or mail in voting. And thank you for letting me know it’s OK by you if I vote...however I choose to do so. I was concerned that you might not approve...given your predilection for conspiracy stuff...:)
