Massive prosecutions and massive sentences is the only way to reverse the damage done by this massive voter fraud.

Anyone else remember when the city votes came in first, and the rural votes only came later?

ML/NJ

It’s already happened, Tucker.
And if YOU had even a modicum of a lick of sense, you’d leave FOX immediately.

He's right. The Democrats decided to prioritize getting as many votes as possible over confidence that the votes are being cast and counted fairly. The entire idea of votes dribbling in for days after an election supposedly was held is inherently going to destroy confidence in the results.

Races are rightfully going to be viewed by Republicans as a replay of the 2008 race between Coleman and Franken, where the Dems kept "finding" ballots after the election under Franken passed Coleman.

The same people destroying our elections and rioting in our streets are the same ones who undercut the Constitution at every turn and are actively promoting censorship in the public arena.

Just checked my airmail-in ballots for the next election.

It appears as though I have hundreds of them...

It’s not just the elections that we have ZERO confidence in. It’s the ENTIRE Federal Government!

And the Democrats think voter fraud will go under the radar quickly. They miscalculated the Trump supporters again!

Tucker will be taken off the air soon after harris takes office. Contracts don’t matter. Fox will pay the penalty or give him a homes and garden show.

Look, this is just ramping up the process that began in Florida in the aftermath of the 2000 Presidential election. The objective is to use process changes and technology in voting to create DELIBERATE AMBIGUITY about the results to enable increasingly inventive forms of cheating.

The first time I remember going with my Dad when he voted was 1960, 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. Yes, you could recount the ballots or re-tally the machines, but the results existed in physical form in the possession of authorities (i.e., the results were “analog”). In essence, “Election Day” was when everything happened and by Wednesday morning it was over.

What has been happening since 2000 (and maybe before) is the use of media, and technology, to create a condition where nobody knows what the result truly is - nobody knows how many votes were cast, nobody knows which votes count and which ones don’t, and the final tally can change for days and even weeks (or until the Democrat wins). Most of the results, and now a lot of the votes themselves, are no longer analog but digital, and exist only as an ordered set of electrons, subject to change in many ways by many people.

This has created a fundamental change in public perception, and you can see it even here on FR. People go on and on about whether or not a winner has been “declared”, usually by media people who have no access to the real data. As electronic voting, and now even apps meant to run on handhelds, define reality, we may be approaching or already be at the point where most people are accepting of the proposition that “nobody knows who won, we have to rerun the program, we have to call in the experts, it was Russian bots, it was Craig Livingstone, etc., etc.).

This problem is of course compounded by early voting, absentee voting, overseas voting, etc.

On election night in 1932, everybody knew that FDR had won a big victory - that in a country with no electronic media, no computers, and half paralyzed by depression. On election night in 1952, there were more votes for Eisenhower than Stevenson, and everybody knew THAT.
Eight years ago (a century in digital years), Hugh Hewitt wrote a book called, “If It’s Not Close, They Can’t Cheat”. As long as people believe that only digital wizards can actually determine the result, that may no longer be true.

If we could conduct and tally elections in 1932 and 1952, we should be able to do it now - except that would upset our masters, who have worked so hard to create the status quo. They certainly won’t give it up without a fight.

“Awful things to come” is a major understatement. The media and university useful idiots that accomodated this coup will suffer along with the rest. I hope they have plenty of time for regret before they are extinguished.

Tucker could be the next Rush Limbaugh if he so chooses to take the ring.

This is LBJ's infamous Box 13 on meth

https://www.texasmonthly.com/politics/go-ask-alice/
NOVEMBER 1998

AT FIRST GLANCE, THE SOUTH TEXAS TOWN OF ALICE hardly looks like the sort of place that changed the course of history. Other than the decaying grandeur of the Rialto movie theater and the carved limestone facade of the Texas State Bank Building—now bearing a For Sale sign—there are few clues that Alice has a story to tell. But even if historical markers and the local museum make no mention of the town’s claim to infamy, the facts are undeniable: In September 1948 Alice saved Lyndon Johnson’s political career from near ruin, providing him—by hook or by crook—with an 87-vote victory in a U.S. Senate runoff against Texas governor Coke Stevenson. Without Alice, LBJ would have lost a Senate bid for the second time, making his eventual ascendancy to the vice presidency, and then the presidency, practically impossible...

...Three days after that, officials made a startling discovery in Alice: Precinct 13’s tally sheet, which had reported 765 votes for Johnson on primary day, now listed 965 in his favor. (One of Parr’s men, it was later revealed, had extended the lip of the “7” downward into a “9.”) The votes for Johnson were written in the same handwriting, signed in the same ink, and cast in alphabetical order. Nevertheless, Johnson was pronounced the victor, earning the tongue-in-cheek sobriquet Landslide Lyndon for winning by less than one hundredth of one percent of the total vote...

... Stevenson later contested the election, but Johnson’s attorneys successfully argued that the federal courts had no jurisdiction in a state election...

-----

That Supreme Court decision was from an FDR appointed Democrat Klansman.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_13_scandal

The investigation eventually reached the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court Justice, Hugo Black, ruled that the federal government was not allowed to get involved with a state election.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_Black

---

https://www.nytimes.com/1977/07/31/archives/exofficial-says-he-stole-1948-election-for-johnson-most-involved.html

Mr. Salas says now that he lied in an aborted investigation of the election, in 1948 when he testified that the vote count had been proper and aboveboard. “I was just going along with my party,” he says.

He said Mr. Parr ordered that 200‐odd votes be added to Mr. Johnson's total from Box 13. Mr. Salas said he had seen the fraudulent votes added in alphabetical order and had then certified them as authentic on orders from Mr. Parr.

The Associated Press interviewed everyone connected with the case still alive to corroborate Mr. Salas's story. One man who got a brief look at the Box 13 vote tally in the original investigation was a former agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, T. Keilis Dibrell. He confirmed Mr. Salas's statement that the last 200 votes had been in alphabetical order.

“It stuck out like a sore thumb,” Mr. Dibrell said. “Also. the last 202 names were made with the same colored ink. and in the same handwriting, whereas the earlier names in the poll list were written by different individuals and in different color inks.”

The final statewide count, including Box 13 votes, gave Mr. Johnson an 87vote margin in a total tally approaching 1 million, earning him the tongue‐incheek nickname “Landslide Lyndon.”

I usually do not keep my guns loaded. I think I will have to change that, and keep them closer too.
