Election Fraud is Real and Needs to be Fixed Before 2024

Election Fraud is Real and Needs to be Fixed Before 2024

Democrats claim election fraud is a myth. But videos don't lie.

Roll the tapes:

On Nov. 1, Connecticut Judge William Clark overturned the results of the Bridgeport mayoral primary, calling video evidence of potential fraud "shocking." Wanda Geter-Pataky, the vice chair of the Bridgeport Democratic Town Committee, appears to have been caught on video stuffing handfuls of ballots into a drop box outside City Hall.

On Oct. 25, in Paterson, New Jersey, the sitting president of the City Council, Alex Mendez, was charged with personally collecting large numbers of mail-in ballots in his district, destroying ballots that did not favor him and replacing them with ballots that falsely chose him. New Jersey's Attorney General Matthew Platkin states that Mendez "personally observed from his wife's vehicle as a large, heavy bag, completely filled with ballots, was emptied into the Haledon postal box prior to the election."

On Nov. 2, in Springfield, Massachusetts, mayoral candidate Justin Hurst was nailed by city election officials for allegedly buying votes during early voting. Videotape shows individuals being dropped off in black Suburbans and Expeditions, and entering City Hall to vote. When they exited, a man "takes out what appears to be a large bundle of cash" and peels off a bill for each individual, according to an affidavit by election commissioner Gladys Oyola-Lopez.

In one week, election fraudsters were busted in three major Northeastern cities.

Leftist organizations such as the Brennan Center for Justice and the League of Women Voters claim voter fraud is a "phantom" and "extremely rare." Don't buy it. The evidence is all around us.

Cheating is a cakewalk because of accommodations pushed by Democrats, including universal mail-in voting and unmanned drop boxes.

Now is the time to scrutinize the 2023 races and plug the obvious gaps. Cheating should not determine the outcome in the highly consequential 2024 national election.

In Bridgeport's 2023 mayoral primary, Democratic candidate John Gomes was ahead, until he got crushed late in the process when absentee votes favoring incumbent Mayor Joe Ganim were counted.

One Bridgeport pol described the use of absentee ballots there as "an art form." That "art form" may partially explain how Ganim, who was Bridgeport's mayor from 1991 to 2003 โ€” before serving seven years in federal prison for racketeering, extortion, filing false tax returns, and other crimes โ€” was able to stage a comeback upon his release from prison and win election in 2015 and 2019.

In Connecticut, Democrats are singing one song: Fraud is "unique to Bridgeport" and isn't a problem elsewhere. Wrong.

Last year, John Mallozzi, then chairman of the Democratic Party in Stamford, was convicted of forgery and making false statements related to absentee ballots. His ruse was uncovered when a voter named on a fraudulent absentee ballot actually showed up at the polls.

Connecticut Republican legislators are pushing to improve voting security. Rep. Doug Dubitsky, a Republican, says "this exact same thing could be happening in every single municipality in this state." But Democrats who control both houses of the state legislature and all statewide offices refuse to tighten voting procedures.

That's not hard to explain. In statewide races, including for governor or president, Republicans historically have been ahead until the absentee ballots in the Democrat-controlled cities in Connecticut are tallied.

Across the nation, Republicans are pressing state legislatures to eliminate drop boxes and bar third parties from collecting huge numbers of completed ballots โ€” a practice called "harvesting." Republicans also want to use software to match the signature on the mail-in ballot to the signature on the voter registration form.

Democrats almost universally oppose these safeguards, calling them "voter suppression." "Cheating suppression" is more like it.

Perceptions of unfairness are corrosive. At a House Committee on Oversight and Accountability hearing in June, polls were cited showing 37% of Democratic-leaning voters and 71% of Republican-leaning voters doubt the honesty of elections.

Most European countries require voters to show up in person, unless they are out of the country or disabled. These countries tried mail-in voting and eliminated it in the face of widespread fraud.

Americans need to get smart. Convenience shouldn't take priority over security. Before you board a plane, you have to wait in line while your carry-ons are inspected. It's inconvenient but worth it.

Same is true for voting. When you turn on the TV on election night to watch the returns, you want to know the results are honest, whether your candidate wins or not.

America has one year to get the job done.

It’s real, and 2024 will be far worse than 2020.

What the public is being shown over and over during this 4 year pause that Trump keeps mentioning is that the system is too corrupted to fix itself. That’s why very soon we are going to see a military intervention and a temporary governance until the election system can be fixed. There isn’t going to be a 2024 election. It would be totally rigged and push us into civil war.

In Bridgeport’s 2023 mayoral primary, Democratic incumbent Joe Ganim was notorious,
<><> mayor from 1991-2003 โ€” he served seven years in federal prison
<><>he was convicted of racketeering, extortion, filing false tax returns, and other crimes
<><>in his 2023 incumbency campaign, his opponent was way ahead,
<><>then absentee votes “suddenly appeared,” naturally favoring Ganim.

One Bridgeport pol described the use of fraudulent absentee ballots there as “an art form” .....and may partially explain how Ganim, who was once Bridgeport’s mayorโ€” was able to stage a comeback upon his release from prison, and win election in 2015 and 2019.

Predictably, Democrats whine, Fraud is “unique to Bridgeport” and isn’t a problem elsewhere.

Wrong.

Last year, John Mallozzi, then chairman of the Democratic Party in Stamford, Conn, was convicted of forgery and making false statements related to absentee ballots. His ruse was uncovered when a voter named on a fraudulent absentee ballot actually showed up at the polls.

Thatโ€™s why very soon we are going to see a military intervention...until the election system can be fixed. There isnโ€™t going to be a 2024 election.

That is a position we might have to wish for. My concern, however, is that the military will believe it is bound to the Dem admin in office. It appears there are a lot of woke generals in the Pentagon.

Last night, NewsMax broadcast an investigative report on Act Blue, a major fundraising arm of the leftist movement. They found several individuals who "donated" many thousands of times to Act Blue, totaling huge sums of money. When these individuals were tracked down, they denied any involvement in the scam.

The guests commenting on the report said this type of illegal fundraising activity falls within the oversight responsibilities of the DOJ. No one will be prosecuted and everyone knows it, so Act Blue will continue to do what they're doing.

The Democrats are not going to be in control of anything. If you just listen to what Donald Trump says he tells you what is going to happen.

There is a reason Donald Trump rides around in a full presidential motorcade with an ambulance and a 20 state police motorcycle escort and state Dept level security team. Former presidents are not accorded these things.

Why do they do election fraud?

Because that is where the votes are!
