TRUMP LAYS ELECTION INTEGRITY GAME PLAN FOR 2024: ‘WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO FIGHT LIKE HELL’
RSBN ^ | February 22, 2023 | Summer Lane

Posted on 02/22/2023 12:13:25 PM PST by SoConPubbie

President Donald Trump addressed the concerns of millions of Americans on Monday night during remarks delivered at the newly renamed “Club 47” in West Palm Beach, Florida.

The president specifically spoke to the election processes in the United States, calling for the prioritization of “free and fair elections” on the road to 2024.

“Yeah, we want to have free and fair elections,” he said. “We want to have voter ID, we want to have all of the things…we don’t want to have elections that last for 62 DAYS. We don’t call it Election Day anymore; we call it Election Period.”

He added, “No, it’s so sad when you look at what’s happened with our elections – again, like a third world country.”

The president also took questions from the audience on Monday night. One woman posited, “So, we can sit here but nothing means anything unless we have a valid election. What will we do to change it now?”

Trump replied:

“Yeah, I agree. So, it’s such a great question – it’s a question I would ask first all the time, because we have to get in. So, what we’re going to do is number one, they collect and they harvest ballots – in many places it’s illegal, but they do it anyway. We’re going to have to get a lot of ballots. And I was always for Election Day voting, but when I watched what happened in Arizona, where the machines were all broken…Kari Lake had lines so long and the people couldn’t vote because of a big percentage of the machines in Republican areas were ‘broken,’ okay?”

He continued, “What we’re going to have to do is we’re going to have to fight like hell on that day, those few days of the election and we’re going to have to make sure that they’re not going to steal this election from us.”

The 45th president also hinted at implementing a common-sense standard for federal elections if he won in 2024, noting that “once we’re in” his administration could “change it to paper ballots, same-day voting, voter ID, and be done, okay?”

Trump’s position on ballet harvesting – which is the action of a third party delivering a ballot for a registered voter – comes just after his campaign kickstarted a ballot harvesting fund to aid in ballot collection for the 2024 presidential election. For reference, ballot harvesting is legal in many states in the U.S.

Per RSBN, a Trump campaign email stated last week, “Our path forward is to MASTER the Democrats’ own game of harvesting ballots in every state we can.”

AND Stop letting them get away with saying “voter ID is racist”

You need an ID to drive, to buy liquor, to get a gun, ... to do many things.

MAKE THEM EXPLAIN how it is ‘racist’...Do they really think that black people are too stupid to get a voter ID?

If they are going to use electronic voting then THE SOURCE CODE MUST BE OPEN!!!!!! There is noting ‘proprietary’ about voting software. You read a vote, you add ONE to someone’s total. How hard is that?

There should NEVER be a need to ‘reproduce’ a ballot that is somehow unreadable. You turn it over to a human to read it, as best they can OR IT GETS TOSSED

And EVERYTHING MUST BE AUDITABLE!!!! If you can’t audit it and get the exact same results, it is a flawed system.

AND (THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT)...

MANDATORY MINIMUM 20 YEARS JAIL FOR VOTE FRAUD. (or any government fraud, for that matter)

None of this 3 month slap-on-the-wrist followed by a standing ovation from Democrats’.

President Trump lays out 2024 plan for election integrity: "We don't want to have elections that last for 62 DAYS."

Saying "we don't want mail-in ballots, we don't want ballot harvesting, we don't want elections that last for 62 days" is not a plan. It's a forlorn hope, one which will end in nothing but disappointment.

a Trump campaign email stated last week, “Our path forward is to MASTER the Democrats’ own game of harvesting ballots in every state we can.”

OK, now that sounds like a plan, and one which can lead to victory in 2024. Now Trump's campaign needs to make it a reality.

The office of the POTUS has no ability to do any of these things. Each state determines its own election laws.

It hints at a plan, there has to be people on the ground to make it happen. They have to have a plan too! Plans inside of plans!

Are you seriously this obtuse?

By Federal Elections he means any candidate that is either a US House Member or Senator.

Is it that easy to nit-pick everything he says for you?

Really? Seriously?

You cannot simply read-between-the-lines and realize that What President Trump is communicating is a plan that will take legislation?

Same question I posted to someone else on this thread:

Is it really that easy for you to nit-pick everything President Trump says?

Are you so devoid of fairness because you support somebody else for POTUS 2024 that you sink to this level?

“By Federal Elections he means any candidate that is either a US House Member or Senator.”

But the feds don’t run those elections, the states do. So, yeah, it’s not really a “nitpick”, but a serious problem with any proposal that the feds are going to be able to do anything about those elections.

No, it's a nitpick because the Constitution gives Congress the ability to legislate "Federal" elections, or, in other words, any elections that involve federal level candidates.

They can legislate all they want. They don’t have any people on the ground to run them though, and as we have seen clearly over the last few years, it’s the people who run the elections who make the rules, no matter what the rules on the lawbooks say.

What is this plan? How will he convince the California legislature or other state legislatures that have legalized ballot-harvesting to change their voting laws?

This isn't nitpicking, it's a very basic and fundamental question that goes to whether Trump has any realistic plan to win. Trump will have my primary vote (just as he had my vote in 2016 and 2020) if he puts together an effective ballot-harvesting system of his own in states that have legalized ballot-harvesting. I've heard his campaign say that they intend to pursue this avenue, and it's the only possible way a GOP candidate can compete for and win the presidency in 2024.

What doesn't make sense is ridiculous statements that "“once we’re in...change it to paper ballots, same-day voting, voter ID, and be done, okay?”

That's a fantasy, not a plan, and it makes me wonder whether Trump thinks the people who listen to him don't understand how election laws are made in this country or whether he doesn't understand them himself.

Mail-in-voting was in use before President Trump was ever a president, so, that excuse will not work...

Are you expecting anyone to believe this?
Let’s just look at trumps record.
Lol… this is even better than Fauci endorsing trump.
You know the prez whose record is bumpstock bans (2A), restricting travel, unless your his unvetted Syrians, no freedom to assemble, unless you’re burning cities, big pharma billions, big government checks to stay home doing nothing,
His personal favorite, mail in ballots, for our own good… and perpetual democrat rule.
Every freedom in the bill of rights was handed to Fauci n co on a silver platter.
More rights lost under trump than Obama.
Then, he wasn’t done.. he endorsed every leader in the GOP who agreed with him on all of the big government control he led the country into.
