One of the many infuriating problems that I have seen with conservatives is that they often do not have stamina. They don’t go the distance. After an initial win, they relax and don’t pursue the advantage, letting the enemy regroup and recover, and then conservatives become easily distracted by the next shiny object. Often, they do not even punish opponents who have clearly broken the law. Trump and his army of combatants are the exception and they are turning over rocks to see what crawls out.
As stated earlier, it would be a mistake to think that electoral fraud is conducted only against libertarians and conservatives. It is also carried out against other Democrats.
It isn’t pretty.
However, there is one rock that is being overlooked: electoral fraud.
There are many persons who have trouble accepting the possibility that an old, established political party could engage in systematic voter fraud. They feel that the party that supported slavery, caused a horrific civil war, passed Jim Crow laws, established and supported the Ku Klux Klan (Senator Byrd was Exalted Cyclops), and are now promoting racial Communism through totalitarian tactics, could certainly not stoop to something like voter fraud.
Actually … yes.
In the immortal words of Joe Biden, prior to the 2020 election, “We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.”
Elsewhere, I compiled a very long, detailed list of instances where Democrats, either singly or in groups, engaged in electoral fraud, from Tammany Hall through 2024 — which I need to update. They engaged in ballot harvesting, mail-in ballots, eliminating Republican ballots, voter registration in cemeteries, illegal aliens voting, fraudulent census, deliberate miscounting, etc. Nor was this illegality directed solely against Republicans. Democrats utilize it against each other.
In the coming 2026 election, the Democrats are going to go all out to recapture Congress in order to stymie the Trumpian reforms, so expect massive voter fraud, either singly or organized.
One of the blinders that we seem to have is in accepting that supposedly blue states like California, Colorado, Washington, New York, Minnesota, and Illinois will always be blue states and not change regardless of the economic, social, and legal collapse of those states. Yet, no one seems to consider the possibility that instead of the states’ population stupidly supporting increased crime, fentanyl, illegal immigration, censorship, economic dislocation, the covid fiasco, educational incompetence, the sexual mutilation of children, etc., the consistency in being blue may simply be due to a well-established, entrenched, voter fraudster network embedded within the states themselves (in Chicago it is an open secret that voter fraud is institutionalized).
For example, during Covid, the Democrat governors of New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Michigan, California, and Minnesota killed thousands of elderly patients in nursing homes by cramming them full with Covid patients, despite knowing full well the elderly were the most vulnerable. Yet the Democratic attorney generals of those states have never brought charges against those governors. Mind you, only Democrats did that.
And, of course, the media hivemind, kept it quiet.
So, no, I do not believe that the number of ideologically stupid voters outnumber the rational ones.
Electoral Fraud by Democrats Is Rampant
The record of voter “irregularities” by Democrats is well documented, going back well over a century. Historically, the first instance of Presidential electoral fraud began in 1860, when Abraham Lincoln became the nominee of the newly founded Republican Party. The Democrats became hysterical over his nomination and demonized the man. They removed his name from the ballots in several states (sound familiar?). Later, in 1876, the presidential election between Tilden and Hayes, the Democrats engaged in “irregularities” (i.e., fraud) which almost resulted in another civil war.
But there has also been massive electoral fraud by Democrats in nonpresidential elections. Let’s look at a tiny fraction of recent occurrences in case there is skepticism; these rarely result in charges being brought forth, and if they are, the penalties are minimal:
A Democratic councilman in Minnesota was caught in video stuffing ballot boxes.
320,000 fraudulent votes were ratified by the Democrat Secretary of State in Michigan. Michigan governor Gretchen signed a bill prohibiting vote recounts based on allegations of voter fraud. Additional fraud in the state has been uncovered with no convictions resulting.
Then, there is the matter of simply not counting the ballots going to a particular candidate. The individual who did this resigned but was not jailed.
In Texas, 15 individuals, including council members and a judge, were arrested for ballot harvesting. Elsewhere in the state, a mayoral candidate was sentenced to a mere 4 years of 106 counts of fraud.
In Detroit, there is a complex system in place for engaging in voter fraud.
In New Jersey, a Democrat council president and his wife stole and tampered with ballots. In 2021 and 2023.
In blue state Connecticut, five prominent Democratic political operatives in Connecticut’s largest city were caught with fraudulent absentee ballots in 2023. Also, a state employee was charged in February with altering Republican voter registrations to Democrat.
In blue state Wisconsin, nearly 5,000 illegal voter registrations were found. How many more were not?
In three red states, over 300,000 illegal voter registrations were found earlier this year.
In New York, 200,000 votes were found a month after the election. Oftentimes, discovery of fraud takes place months, if not years, after the election.
In Pennsylvania, Democrats openly admitted to voter fraud.
And “irregularities” also include votes by illegal immigrants, from Arizona to New York.
As stated earlier, it would be a mistake to think that electoral fraud is conducted only against libertarians and conservatives. It is also carried out against other Democrats.
Boycotts Suggest Not All Blue Staters Are Woke
Another parallel example. Because of their loud shrieks, acting out, and the always fawning attention by the media hivemind, leftists in this country appear to be more numerous than they really are. Or think they are.
The Congressional drama queen Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called for the boycott of Goya products when its CEO supported Trump; instead, sales of Goya products rose sharply, which led the company’s CEO to issue AOC the “Employee of the Month” award.
An August 9 boycott called by The People’s Union USA (you can always tell a Communist organization or book when the word “People’s” is compulsively inserted), led by one John Schwartz; like the women’s strike in Iceland, nobody noticed. A leftist call for boycotting a country music song sent it to rise on the charts; the same with another conservative song.
In spite of Apple shadow-banning a conservative rapper, his song became a hit. As for the latest “controversy” regarding American Eagle’s new ad with the beautiful Sydney Sweeney resulted in a call to boycott the company for supposedly trying to revive the Third Reich; it is yet too early to see the outcome.
And we all know what happened with Bud Lite.
The point of the above is that I believe that the majority of people in blue states are not woke, but because leftists have saturated the levers of power in those states and the media hivemind works hand in glove with the elites, the status quo is unaltered. In Chicago alone, we saw last year the public lambasting officials for diverting resources away from the citizens in order to benefit illegal immigrants.
Trump Republicans Fight Back
The old school Republicans who do nothing in terms of fighting — and have earned the well-deserved loathing from the rank and file — has given way to Republicans who are out for blood and have been sharpening their knives. So even though there are some Republicans who do not want to even think about the possibility of electoral fraud, the GOP is no longer The Stupid Party.
Therefore, in order to ensure voter integrity in all states, investigations should take place. But, more importantly, draconic punishments should be put into law to be meted out to any one person or conspiracy that plans to engage in voter fraud, or actually does so. Most of the “punishments” that exist on the books in various states are laughable, nothing more than a slap on the wrist, which is no deterrent at all.
I assure you, this draconic repercussion is what will end voter fraud once and for all.
