Most Republicans don’t trust the election system. A red wave could change that.

Most Republicans who vote Tuesday, polls suggest, will participate in an election whose results they do not entirely trust, especially if their party loses.

Partisan doubt in the nation’s electoral system has seldom run higher. Polls consistently show a solid majority of Republicans lack faith in the vote count, a trend fueled by former President Trump’s relentless and unfounded attacks on the integrity of American elections when the 2020 campaign turned against him.

Kick all Dominion machines out of swing states, institute paper ballots counted by scantron machines, and see what happens.

The fact that Republicans trained up to be poll watchers, are monitoring mysterious trucks in Detroit, and screaming bloody murder in AZ because of the failed tabulators suggests otherwise.

Until Trump it was ALWAYS the left that questioned voting machines.

Today will demonstrate if the ballot box still works.

Hopefully it does. If not, we have other options.

“the election system” is a misnomer and fake narrative.

50 States run their own elections, and even then, they rely on local election boards and local staff to run them.

Just look at Wisconsin or Michigan. 80 out of 81 counties could be flawless, have no problems, complete counting and report their results shortly after polls close with no discrepancies.

But it only takes one Detroit or Milwaukee, and a lot of ad hoc and illegal, or badly enforced rules on registration, voter rolls and mail-in ballots - and fraud can easily flip the entire state.

If the Rs overcome the margin of fraud they will win. Winning doesn’t mean there was no Democrat fraud. How did Gropin’ Joe get 81 Million votes? He didn’t. It was a fradulent election.

I always mock leftists when they talk about “election deniers”.

Exhibit 1—Meet Stacey Abrams

Exhibit 2—”Russian collusion”, 2016

Exhibit 3—2004 Kerry supporters—Ohio anyone?

Exhibit 4—2000 Gore/Loserman—Florida anyone?

If the left didn’t have double standards they would have no standards at all.

But, anything short of a red wave and election fraud will be a undeniable fact and a permanent divide in this Country.

If the Rs win that doesn’t prove a lack of fraud. It says nothing about that.

“If the Rs overcome the margin of fraud they will win.”

The way it works is that if the R margin is big enough (usually 3% is good, perhaps in PA more will be needed) then the Democratic fraud machine does not bother going into action.

It is like poker—no point in showing their hand if it is not a winning one.

Actually, that isn’t true.

People could reasonably think they just didn’t cheat enough this time.

Although, perversely, if the Democrats knew they were going to get Paul Pelosi’d (hammered) anyway the smart move for them would be to cheat in favor of Republicans but only in places where they knew it absolutely would not matter because the Democrat candidate was gonna go down in flames ... so to subsequently use that to accuse Republicans of cheating and continue their only Democrats can deny elections streak with the compliant, servile deep state and media.

A red wave that sees RINO traitors replaced by MAGA, especially in the state legislatures, is the only thing that will convince me there are fair elections.

Republicans showing up in Detroit to vote are being told they already voted by Absentee Ballot.

Let me guess.

No, it’s a trend fueled by Democrats’ blatant cheating.
