Unfortunately, no one in the Republican hierarchy seems to possess the wherewithal to counter this Democrat strategy.

The GOP simply reverts to its default position.

Florida is the example of what to do to clean up election fraud. Look at the results! Did the other states do any of that? Did the Republican leaders get on board cleaning things up? Did Trump make any efforts to clean things up after his loss?

That would be the first thing any sane person would do. The Republicans have only themselves to blame. They are worse morons than Fetterman. They fell for the “red wave,” they fell for “39% Biden approval rating”, they fell for the “70% feels the country is heading in the wrong direction”, they fell for the idea that Oz had the same odds of winning if he was up against a garden slug. They fell for from the same crap that caused them to continually lose...

So the Republicans are more moronic than Fetterman. Fetterman is a genius compared to them. They wasted so much money to get tepid results that one suspects Republicans are really the garden slugs. So blame the American people who elect these morons and who elects a disastrous Joe Biden. But at least Fetterman & Biden are getting the results they want.

“It’s time for voters to start seeing the difference between elections decided by ballots and elections decided by votes.”

Why? Voters seem to be for the most part irrelevant now. The elites discovered it is much easier to convince a ballot who to vote for than it is to convince a voter who to vote for, so they have replaced us.

Well, I’d say the first thing any sane person would do is get rid of all the party leaders who are pretending that everything is normal. Until you do that, they’ll just sabotage your efforts to root out the actual problem, because that problem is obviously benefiting them even if it harms the party as a whole.

Dr. Steve Turley has an excellent analysis of what happened and what it means. He is on youtube and rumble. He said most incumbents won, that blue states got bluer and red states got redder, and the country has hardened even more in the split between red and blue. He said it is a sign of the increasing cultural and political balkanization of the US, which can only lead to future calls for secession.

Sort of like the difference between a sham democracy and a Constitutional Republic.

Read the article carefully. It’s actually quite remarkable. Importantly, it has nothing to do with voter fraud.

The author makes the compelling point that in any jurisdiction where mail-in voting is permitted, campaign appearances and advertising may be a total waste of resources — because they are far less important than simply going out and making sure voters fill out ballots with your candidate’s name on them.

“He said it is a sign of the increasing cultural and political balkanization of the US, which can only lead to future calls for secession.”

The chances of a succession succeeding is slim, especially since those with opposing political views are spread out among the states. You’d only be able to pull something like that off if the majority of the supporters of both parties were better separated by region. As it is now the separation is primarily between large cities vs those in rural and less heavily populated areas.

That map reminds me of the movie "Monolith Monsters".

WOW! The light bulb went on! Now I understand how Biden can live in the basement and win. Same plan for AZ Governor race. No need to campaign or debate when the fix is in?

Note I searched Free Republic for this story using the word “ballot” and discovered another interesting fact. Most of the stories post from the MSM about an election in the last few months used the wording “So in so was ahead in ballots”. Not the polls, not in potential votes or even with potential voters, no just BALLOTS!

I used to think that the Republican leadership in DC was the “stupid party”. When I realized that they were actually the “complicit party”. I stopped expecting them to do anything for the benefit of ordinary American citizens. It is infuriating but at least I am no longer disappointed.
