Do Americans Still Trust Our Elections? It's a matter that ought to concern election authorities -- and yet it doesn't.

Horror writer Stephen King, when not spewing far left argle-bargle (a word I learned long ago from reading one of his novels) on Twitter, may exhibit a bit of common sense.

He once said, “The trust of the innocent is the liar's most useful tool.”

Was he referring to those innocent souls who trusted Christine or Cujo? Or to innocent Americans who foolishly listen to the ruling class liars, believing in truth, justice, and the American way?

Do Americans still trust elections, whether local, state, or national?

In 16 months, America “elects” a president. I would say a new president, but the top two contenders, at least at this early date will be a former and an incumbent president.

We know how recent past elections turned out. Were they an election or a selection? A quote attributed to Joseph Stalin or his henchman, Lavrentiy Beria, sums it up: “Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything.”

Were the votes counted honestly or accurately?

Remember how Fox News called Arizona for Biden with only a few percent of the votes tabulated. And how several swing states immediately thereafter stopped counting votes on election evening with Trump leading, only to resume the next day, Biden now ahead.

All delayed counting gave votes to Biden, not to Trump. What are the odds of that? This Twitter thread by Tom Elliott chronicles multiple episodes of election corruption and interference at the hands of the federal government in collusion with big tech and social media giants.

Aside from ballot-counting irregularities and voting machines connected to the internet, federal intelligence and law enforcement agencies influenced past elections by spying on one candidate and ignoring potential crimes of another candidate, both in 2016 and 2020.

Aside from ballot-counting irregularities and voting machines connected to the internet, federal intelligence and law enforcement agencies influenced past elections by spying on one candidate and ignoring potential crimes of another candidate, both in 2016 and 2020. They had the willing and eager cooperation of corporate media, big tech, and social media to push or suppress news beneficial or detrimental to their favored candidate.

Can we trust our election results? You can surmise what I think but what do voters think?

Remember how we used to see “upsets” here and there.

Well we don’t see any more of those do we. Because the powers that be didn’t like that. They don’t like not knowing what’s going to happen.

So THEY decide what’s going to happen, and them MAKE it happen.

And as a result, the people are not governing themselves anymore, but instead are being ruled.

“Warm in their seats, they were loath to leave them, or hold them any longer at the will of the people.” - John Adams, A Defence of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America, Volume I, Letter XVII

“Do Americans Still Trust Our Elections? It’s a matter that ought to concern election authorities — and yet it doesn’t.”

Do Americans Still Trust Our Elections? It’s a matter that ought to concern Democratic election authorities — and yet it doesn’t because they are behind the fraud.

There, fixed it

Is this guy that naive?

He doesn’t realize that the “election authorities” are the ones that purposefully rig elections.

They’re the foxes in charge of the hen house.

I have no doubt that the 2020 election was stolen.

Not trusting our elections is just part of the larger lack of trust in all of our institutions brought on by the left to bring about socialism/communism. Call it Cloward-Piven 2.0 where it’s creating government crises all over combined with undermining established orders in the civil arena like sports, entertainment, and, oh yeah, gender.

The more you get people to question everything around them and have no faith in anything, the quicker you get them to go along with something different. Sports is a great example because when you undermine sports by having leagues embrace BLM, you either get people to abandon the sport altogether or you get them to go along with the new order which is going along with BLM. Either way, that sport is now firmly on the way to a fundamental transformation or extinction. The left doesn’t care just as long as it’s not remaining in its traditional form.

There is one way elections can be trusted. Eliminate ballot harvesting and go back to vote in person. Stop this crazy early voting too. Require ID. And no more of this “hidden” tabulation where observers can’t watch. This would go a long way to bringing back confidence.

Mistrust constitutes investigation. Seen one that was actually taken seriously?

No, and why should it concern election authorities, they'll see you in solitary confinement if you speak about?

I live in WA State and we haven’t had honest elections in more than a decade. The corruption started during the Bush administration, perpetrated by ACORN and the SEIU, in a gubernatorial election, where the Republican candidate conceded to a recount that wasn’t even legally called for because his lead exceeded the legal number of votes. The recounts proceed to seven recalls before Democrats declared a win. Every time more ballots had been found in the trunk of a car, a closet, a ware house, all by ACORN volunteers.

Our elections just proceeded to get worse from there, to all mail in voting, to drop box voting, because they said that the post office couldn’t be depended upon to get the ballots turned in on time.

I once saw a woman open our local drop box with a key and deposit a whole box of ballots, the type of box that comes from a printer. When sh saw the look on my face, she said, “Oh, it’s ok, I’m from the school district office.”

Yeah...aggravates me no end when I hear “but the courts looked at all the evidence dozens of times and dismissed the cases”.

As they did not such thing. Dismissing a case for “lack of standing” means you never even got to present your case.

2020 was an election of magical statistics - multiple “come from behind wins” in specific counties in specific States, all at the same time, when Trump was ahead - only for voting to be “suspended” and when they “resumed” Biden was ahead. Rinse repeat.

In Detroit they were literally covering up windows so nobody could look in. It just shows, the media can basically hold-the-line on a narrative, lie to your face a 1000 times, and claim it’s a “fact”.

We need an army of people willing to camp out at any location that could be a point of ballot stuffing.

It simply does not matter whether Americans trust our elections. The untrustworthy elections will quickly- the 2024 elections probably- cement the One Party Democrat State into place with no recourse. The People will not rise in reaction. They will merely grumble until the grumbling is snuffed out by information control and widespread arrests and punishment for subversion and subversive thoughts and speech.

“Yeah...aggravates me no end when I hear “but the courts looked at all the evidence dozens of times and dismissed the cases”.

I don’t think any of these law suits were ever tried. They were erased based upon lack of evidence prior to the actual trials being realized.

“We need an army of people willing to camp out at any location that could be a point of ballot stuffing.”

There were questionable actions taken by numerous voting areas all over the country at high electoral college locations to keep from divulging voting information. The machines were erased, there were votes counted during times of closed status to overseers, you mentioned covered windows...why are they covered?

Up near me there was a couple of boxes of votes found on the side of the road during the counting process. How come they weren’t missed? (Washington state is a liberal state).

And there is a history of fraud in elections like in Chicago in 1960 when it was said that over 100,000 dead people voted for Kennedy. If it didn’t happen then why were “62 indictments and 58 convictions, many involving precinct captains and election officials resulting? The grand jury concluded that 100,000 fraudulent votes had been cast in the city...Couldn’t happen again? Yeah right.

Info from:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1982_Illinois_elections#:~:text=3%2C856%2C875%20ballots%20cast.-,Convictions%20for%20fraud,cast%20in%20the%20city%20...

Yet you never hear about that. Or what happened in 2020 about the post office worker that tried to get votes across the Canadian border. Too much. Everyone goes to the polls except those that can’t physically. Then they establish a sponsor and they do all the signing with cards to prove who they are and who they represent. One on one. No machines, no uncontrolled mobile ballots, just face to face. They go into a locked down location no one can get into without film and witnesses of all sides. Any ballot that can’t be read will not be guessed at (hanging chads), and every one will be hand counted. Every step will be witnessed by every party involved.

Now of course it will be said that that takes too long. How long did it take to back check every ballot on recounts two or three times. Let’s get it right, not fast.
