The Democrats’ Three-Decade War on Honest Voting
American Conservative ^ | October 20, 2024 | James Bovard

Posted on 10/20/2024 7:37:06 PM PDT by Veracious Poet

When did preventing election fraud become a violation of the Voting Rights Act?

According to President Joe Biden’s Justice Department, it is now a federal crime to prevent illegal ballots in presidential elections.

Most of the American media pretended that voter fraud was so rare that the mere suggestion of its occurrence was a heresy against democracy.

Preventing bogus ballots should not be treated like a moral or theological issue. When did verifying votes become a crime against democracy?

Why is the Justice Department crusading to turn voting into an entitlement program for non-citizens?

Do Democrats seek to make the actual voting as fraud-ridden as politicians’ campaign promises?

Seems like nothing has changed since the theft of 2020-2022s' elections, almost everyone knows it's happening (dead voting in 1960 anyone?), yet it seems just part of the DemoRAT/GOPher duopoly?

Is everyone scared-to-death to point out that the King (political power base) is stark raving mad? (On top of being naked)?

Frankly, it's gotten Soooo horribly bad in SoCal (moved back home to take care of our Moms), I dare not vote lest I end up on a list(s)...

Sad, sad end to the former "Free Republic" :-(

RINOs use the same techniques to steal their primaries from conservatives - don’t expect any “Republican” help against organized election fraud.

“Vote early, vote often.” It’s always a Democrat who says that. It’s not a joke. It’s a call for election fraud.

A target rich environment, imo.
“There are about 6.5 million eligible American voters living, serving and studying overseas, with about 1.6 million of them in battleground states, and more in tight House districts. Those votes could be decisive: The 2020 election was decided by 44,000 votes over four states.

More than 1.2 million ballots were sent abroad in 2020 and nearly 890,000 were eventually counted, according to a report by the US Election Assistance Commission.-CNN

Cloward and Piven admitted the ideals of leftism can’t win at the ballot box, so other means of taking power have to be done in America. One of their ideas was of course to outstanding revenues coming in with wild spending on social programs to break the country, then start over.

The minute that the criminally insane were allowed to continue breathing air, when clearly GUILTY, the Rule-Of-Law was terminally ill in the U$ofA.

Not only are the Rights of innocent, honest, productive "Americans" *NOT* protected, they are subjected to the "legal" system adding insult-to-injury by allowing brazen monsters to "get away with it".

It's so far gone (actually more like 6 decades than 3) that I'm slapping my forehead for still giving a crap...

Anyways, here too is the American Conservative link:

>>More than 1.2 ballots were sent abroad in 2020

And what we (FR) learned in 2009 after the installation of Hussein O, was that the military ballots of troops overseas were classified as Provisional and never counted.

I have a theory. Not worth anything.

I think the Democrats noticed the traditionally low voter turnout numbers (remember? “only 52% of eligible voters actually cast a ballot in the last election”) and decided that every one of the people who didn’t show up to vote would have voted Democrat.

They set themselves to a long-term project that would basically arrange things so the default vote would be a Democrat vote. The only only way to vote for their opposition would be to physically turn in a ballot, and even that wasn’t for sure (as in the case of active military).

It seems like they did a pretty good job of it, too.

I agree. The stupid, the ill-informed, the apathetic, these are key parts of the Democrat coalition. starting in 1993 with Motor Voter we nationally embarked on a campaign to get every imbecile to vote

To: Veracious Poet; All
Thank you for referencing that article Veracious Poet. Please note that the following critique is directest at corrupt, election year Congress and not at you.

"Why is the Justice Department crusading to turn voting into an entitlement program for non-citizens?"


FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

From related threads ...

Regarding non-citizens voting, the misguided federal government is effectively demanding that the states nullify the Constitution's "Uniform Rule of Naturalization Clause."

More specifically, the congressional record shows that post-Civil War lawmakers had expressed their concern that states who allow non-citizens to vote wrongly nullify that clause.

Next, the Constitution's drafters gave the states, not the feds, the power to decide voter qualifications, evidenced by Article I, Section 2, Clause 1 (1.2.1).

"Article I, Section 2, Clause 1: The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States, and the Electors in each State shall have the Qualifications requisite for Electors of the most numerous Branch of the State Legislature [emphasis added]."

Note that 1.2.1 gives state-qualified citizens the power to vote only for representatives, not senators or POTUS. But the states later gave ordinary citizen voters the power to vote for federal senators too.

And it remains that voters still don't have the express constitutional power to vote for POTUS any more than illegals do. The fact that we do vote for POTUS is deceptive smoke and mirrors by the corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties, probably intended to make us deplorables think that we are in control of the Oval Office.

After all, constitutional drafters established the Electoral College to make sure that the right person is in the wartime Oval Office.

At the other extreme, the Electoral College is MAJOR OVERKILL for making sure that the right person is in the peacetime Oval Office to make sure that your mail is delivered promptly, the US Mail Service being one of the very few MAJOR powers that the states have given to the feds to dictate peacetime domestic policy.

In other words, if a given federal social spending program is not reasonably related to the Mail Service, then you can bet that it is unconstitutional, based on stolen state powers, and win your bet probably most of the time.

Next, when Virginia Minor claimed that her citizenship automatically gave her the right to vote under the 14th Amendment's Equal Protections Clause, the Supreme Court clarified in Minor v. Happersett (Minor) that citizenship doesn't guarantee the right to vote, Minor living in the "wrong" state which gets us back to 1.2.1 above.

In fact, the justices had referenced 1.2.1 in the Minor case opinion.

"The members of the House of Representatives are to be chosen by the people of the States, and the electors in each State must have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislature." —Minor v. Happersett, 1874.

What we're seeing now is that desperate elite Democrats and RINOs are trying to gift illegal immigrants the right to vote in order to try to stay in power, a slap in the face to all voting citizens, but especially to women who had to work hard for their right to vote, evidenced by the 19th Amendment, pioneered in part by Virginia Minor's work.

"19th Amendment: The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."

The bottom line concerning feds discouraging the states from removing ineligible voters from their rolls is that the feds themselves are unconstitutionally interfering with a federal election imo, unthinkingly helping to nullify the Constitution's Uniform Rule of Naturalization Clause as much as renegade states are imo.

Regarding corrupt states allowing illegals to vote, also note that Section 2 of the 14th Amendment (14A), that amendment ratified shortly after the excerpts above appeared in the congressional record, is a penalty for states where ballot box fraud has occurred.

Especially consider the zero tolerance "hair trigger" wording in that section that should be a warning for any state thinking about rigging an election, letting non-citizens vote just one example of doing so imo.

Excerpted from 14A:

In fact, consider that the post-Civil War congressional Republicans who drafted Section 2 made it to discourage Southern Democrats (my words) from rigging the ballot boxes that Democrats are now alleged to have done for 2020, 2022 and possibly earlier elections!

"Because slavery (except as punishment for crime) had been abolished by the Thirteenth Amendment, the freed slaves would henceforth be given full weight for purposes of apportionment. This situation was a concern to the Republican leadership of Congress, who worried that it would increase the political power of the former slave states, even as such states continued to deny freed slaves the right to vote." —Apportionment of Representatives

Also, in addition to trying to tap the illegal votes of illegal aliens to try to stay in power, desperate elite Democrats recently unilaterally threw out 14+ million primary votes for Biden after his bad interview with Trump, giving Biden's votes to presidentially unqualified (imo) Harris, and need to be held responsible for violating Section 2 imo.

Consider that if this were a better world, the feds would be reminding all states before an election that the feds will be darkening the doorway of any state to investigate allegations of possible violations of constitutional voting integrity protections, including policing elections for violations of the Uniform Rule of Naturalization Clause.

But even with Section 2's zero tolerance wording, Pence and the J6 Congress still wrongly ignored allegations of vote-counting fraud imo.

Since Congress and renegade states have repeatedly proven that they are enemies of the people imo, it is now up to Democratic and Republican Trump supporters to effectively "impeach and remove" ALL (exceptions?) state and federal lawmakers and executives in November.

In fact, it's up to us Trump supporters to take the first MAJOR step in draining the swamp by supporting hopeful Trump 47 with a new, Constitution-respecting Congress, new state lawmakers too, not only so that he will not be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term, but will support him to quickly finish draining the swamp.

Finally, let's not allow the anti-Trump media try to fade our memories of what we witnessed on July 13.

The Democrats know that the only way they can win is by cheating.

That is why they cheat.
