If You Wanted to Rig Election 2020, You’d Do Exactly What Democrats Did

Larry O’Connor, Election 2020? This column does not in any way allege that Democrats, Joe Biden, the Mainstream media, Big Tech, or any other entrenched, left-leaning institution in this country rigged the 2020 election. God forbid anyone would think such a thing. If this column were to even come close to making such an assertion, it would be flagged, banned, and removed from social media platforms and other avenues of entry to this website in an effort to prevent the unwashed masses from informing themselves of the facts surrounding this past ballot process. So, let us repeat: This column does not accuse the Biden campaign or the Democratic Party of cheating in the 2020 election. Got it? That said if they were going to cheat…here’s what they would have done. First, they’d make sure that the voter rolls were full of ineligible voters. Deceased people, non-citizens, and people who have moved out of state would not be purged from the rolls, and there would be no mechanism in place to purge those ineligible voters. Further, they wouldn’t have any preemptive check to ensure that only eligible voters registered in the first place. For instance, you can’t get a job in this country without showing a passport, birth certificate, or green card for a standard I-9 form. This ensures that only people eligible to legally work here get a job. There is no such citizen check when you register to vote. It’s on the “honor system” that you are a legal citizen when you fill out your registration form. And, let’s face it, why would someone who breaks our immigration laws by entering, staying, and working in our country illegally ever break our election laws, too? That’s a solid policy there. Next, they’d modify existing election laws so that voters could mail-in ballots on a whim and not for a specific “absentee voting” reason. This way, in-person voting (the most secure kind of voting) would diminish, and mail-in voting (the least secure) would increase. Next, they’d send a ballot to every voter on the voter rolls regardless of whether they asked for an absentee ballot or not. This way, millions of live ballots are floating in the system and are outside the tight custodian controls of the election apparatus in your state. Now that they’ve hypothetically flooded the zone with millions of ballots that have been sent out to everyone, regardless of their eligibility to vote, they would need the policy to count every vote that came in, even votes that shouldn’t be counted. Here’s how they’d do that…again if they were to cheat. Not that this column would ever suggest that they did cheat. This is all just an academic exercise, you see? First, they’d count ballots without any careful check of the signatures on the ballot versus the signature on the voter’s registration. They’d then separate the envelopes and any other identifying documents from the ballots themselves and discard them. This would make it hard to verify the validity of each ballot and impossible to check for duplicates or dead voters. To add to the hypothetical cheat totals, they’d count ballots that were received after Election Day. Plus, you’d stop counting at a certain point so you could properly ascertain exactly how many votes you’d need to “find” to help your chosen candidate win the counting process. Next, you’d conduct the counting and verification process without any legitimate oversight. If you were really brazen, you’d keep election watchers 30 or 40 feet away from the processing area, or you’d even put giant sheets of poster board in the windows outside the processing room so that observers couldn’t see from the hallway outside your operation. Again, to reiterate, this column does not suggest that Biden or his party cheated or in any way rigged the process so that cheating could easily occur in the 2020 election. We are merely pointing out that if they wanted to cheat and rig the system…they’d do exactly what they did. And they did.
Newt Gingrich: I Never Thought the Election Would Be This Corrupt

President Donald Trump has long considered the American election process rigged for Democrats, but, according to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, it might only get worse. “Not only do you have crooked politicians running crooked elections, but you have crooked . . . Internet companies deliberately censoring and biasing,” Gingrich told Sunday’s “The Cats Roundtable” on WABC 770 AM-N.Y. Unless this presidential election’s corruption is exposed, Republicans will face too many obstacles to winning a fair election in the future, Gingrich told host John Catsimatidis. “It’s not about Donald Trump,” Gingrich continued. “It’s about your right as an American citizen to assume that your vote is sacred – to assume that every legal vote will be counted, and that illegal votes will not be counted – because otherwise the illegal votes drowned out the legal votes and cheat the legal citizens of their right to representation. “I never thought it would be this corrupt.” Gingrich noted a “number of corporate lobbyists” in the prospective Biden administration “almost guarantees it may be the most corrupt administration since Harding in 1921.” “The Hunter Biden stuff is real,” he added. “The amount of money coming out of China, Russia and Ukraine is real. The degree to which all of that has been covered up is real. I think all of us have to recognize how serious a problem this is.” And now the two Jan. 5 Georgia Senate runoffs will be compromised, too, according to Gingrich. “Unless [Republicans] fix this, they’re going to have a hard time winning the election,” he concluded. “The Democrats have nominated two left-wingers who, in an honest election, could not possibly win an election. Therefore, the only hope the Democrats have is to find a way to steal it. “Given what they did in the presidential election, I think it’s a very great danger that they will find a way to steal it.”
Rand Paul Says Fraud Was in states where Trump lost, calls out Big Tech

These supposed “vote spikes” occurred in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia, according an analysis cited by Paul. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., on Sunday Said statistical “fraud” was found in four states where President Donald Trump lost in the presidential election during supposed “data dumps” in the middle of the night and early morning. “Interesting . . . Trump margin of “defeat” in 4 states occurred in 4 data dumps between 1:34-6:31 AM,” the Republican Senator tweeted. “Statistical anomaly? Fraud? Look at the evidence and decide for yourself. (That is, if Big Tech allows u to read this)” By Sunday afternoon, the tweet was flagged with the warning: “This claim about election fraud is disputed.” The tweet included a link to an article, “Anomalies in Vote Counts and Their Effects on Election 2020,” which aimed to demonstrate how Democratic candidate Joe Biden supposedly received “vote spikes” in the early hours of Nov. 4, 2020. These supposed “vote spikes” occurred in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia, according to the analysis. It goes on to argue, that these vote spikes in favor of Biden cut into Trump’s lead – claims that echo the president’s own unsubstantiated claims. Biden earned 306 electoral votes to Trump’s 232, the same margin that Trump had when he beat Hillary Clinton in 2016, which he repeatedly described as a “landslide.” (Trump ended up with 304 electoral votes because two electors defected.) Biden achieved victory by prevailing in key states such as Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona and Georgia. Trump’s allegations of massive voting fraud have been refuted by a variety of judges, state election officials and an arm of his own administration’s Homeland Security Department. Many of his campaign’s lawsuits across the country have been thrown out of court. No case has established irregularities of a scale that would change the outcome. Lawsuits that remain do not contain evidence that would flip the result.
Another Dominion server Fix delays recount in Georgia’s Fulton County

Election officials in Georgia’s Fulton County told a local news outlet Sunday that a newly purchased Dominion Voting Systems mobile server crashed that delayed the state’s third recount of the presidential election and technicians from the company “have been dispatched to resolve the issue.” 11Alive.com reported that the Georgia Secretary of State’s office is aware of the efforts to “resolve the problem.” The report indicated that about 88% of the ballots in the state’s largest county have been counted and the recount will resume again on Monday. The deadline to complete the recount is Dec. 2. Joe Biden defeated President Trump by about 13,000 votes in the Peach State, but Trump and his legal team have challenged the results. Trump has expressed frustration with state leaders over how both the election and vote count were handled and has been vocal in his criticism of top Republicans in the state. Trump told Fox News on Sunday that Gov. Brian Kemp has done “absolutely nothing” to question the results and has also called Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger an “enemy of the people” for allowing what he called a “fraudulent system” to persist in the state. Video Raffensperger certified the election result on Nov. 2, and Kemp signed off on it. WSB-TV pointed to an op-ed that Raffensperger wrote last week where he said the election seemed as though it was “wildly successful” and “smooth.” “This should be something for Georgians to celebrate, whether their favored presidential candidate won or lost. For those wondering, mine lost — my family voted for him, donated to him, and are now being thrown under the bus by him,” he wrote. The 11Alive report said the server that crashed was newly purchased but additional details were not immediately clear. Emails from Fox News to Dominion and Raffensperger were not immediately returned. Trump and his supporters have insisted that he won the election and it is only due to widespread fraud that Biden was declared the winner. Trump’s critics say he clearly lost and has yet to provide evidence to suggest the contrary. Trump said in an interview Sunday that his Department of Justice has been “missing in action.” He also questioned the whereabouts of the FBI. “You would think if you’re in the FBI or Department of Justice, this is the biggest thing you could be looking at. Where are they? I’ve not seen anything,” he said. https://youtu.be/2sT2wlni7OU Last week, Michael Steel, a spokesman for Dominion denied claims that vote cast through the company’s systems were at risk of being altered. He said it is physically impossible to alter votes in the system. “Look, when a voter votes on a Dominion machine, they fill out a ballot on a touch screen. They are given a printed copy which they then give to a local election official for safekeeping. If any electronic interference had taken place, the tally reported electronically would not match the printed ballots. and in every case where we’ve looked at — in Georgia, all across the country — the printed ballot, the gold standard in election security, has matched the electronic tally,” he said. Trump’s campaign launched several lawsuits challenging the voting systems and processes in a number of key battleground states, including Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Sidney Powell, a high-powered lawyer who is investigating the election results, retweeted an order by Federal Judge Timothy C. Batten that orders the state to “maintain the status quo” of the voting machines in the state and ruled that these machines cannot be wiped or reset until further notice.
