I posted here last week that I thought the DNC had given up on winning via election fraud in the 2024 general. I believe my prediction was borne out, and now I’m going to think out loud about what that reveals.
The level of attempted shenanigans we saw in Pennsylvania and elsewhere was really low compared to 2020. This cycle we didn’t have 3:00AM vote drops that violated the hell out of Benford’s law. We didn’t have convenient water-main breaks. We didn’t have cardboard glued to windows to keep people from watching the counting. We didn’t have 19 bellwether counties that always predict the national failing to predict the national. It’s like the Democrats weren’t really trying.
The Democratic fraud machine was clearly never a unitary conspiracy that could be turned on and off like a light switch; in order to be deniable, it has to be a whole bunch of smaller local conspiracies, all pulling in the same direction, not communicating with each other, managed to the limited extent they are managed by political operatives who act as deniable cutouts for the DNC and various state-level political machines.
I think some low-level fixers never got the message to stand down. So we got some spasmodic twitches like Democratic operatives in Bucks County PA masquerading as election workers, telling voters in a Republican-leaning precinct to go home. But the stochastic-fraud network as a whole didn’t generate the strong stink it does when it’s fully activated.
I’m not sure why the network didn’t get its go signal this time. There are at least two possibilities: one is the DNC knew from internal polling that Harris was utterly doomed, the other is that they contemplated the amount of monitoring the Republicans put in place this time and quailed. Either way, they must have concluded that all they would accomplish by trying to put the fix in was risking the exposure of their network.
But the thing they can’t hide now is the consequences. Somewhere around 15 million fewer votes, losing the popular vote, and losing all seven of the swing states that normally get buggered by big-city Democratic fraud machines.
It’s the last confirmation I needed that 2020 was stolen. And it’s big enough to make me suspect they frauded in Obama. Twice.
I only suspect, mind you, because unlike Biden I and Biden II and Harris, Obama ran campaigns that weren’t somnolent dogshit. Maybe he won honestly – I’d still give that odds of over 50%, though not by much.
Still, I wish there were a way to do forensic audits that far back. Because the possibility of another Presidential election being swung by fraud needs to be eliminated, and making it common knowledge that Democratic fraud was endemic in the past would help with that.
One of the top priorities for the Republicans has to be pressuring the states to clean up their act. Mandatory voter ID, elimination of ballot harvesting and drop-boxes. No mail-in voting except in special hardship cases. You know, the things even poor Third World countries do so their election security isn’t laughable.
Maybe Democrats will even stop opposing these measures now. Right, I know, who am I kidding…
Why is this important? Maybe it wouldn’t be if government weren’t so powerful and intrusive. But as it is, the stakes in elections keep getting higher and higher; the righteous anger that would be unleashed by revealed fraud becomes more and more daunting to contemplate; and I prefer my breakfast eggs without a side of civil war, thank you.
The main difference was between Ronna Romney and Lara Trump as heads of the RNC.
Romney’s globalist mormon niece turned a blind eye to the cheat and redecorated her offices.
Lara used the money to hire a team of lawyers and thousands of poll observers.
She also had in place an instant response team so the cheat never got off the ground.
12 million “votes” just disappeared.
There could have been fraud in ’08 and ’12, but more likely it was the Community Reinvestment Act recession and Mr. Milktoast letting Too Much Candy Crowley took Obama’s side in the debate, leaving him cower in fear. I think in 2016, they didn’t think they needed to cheat (aside from illegal immigrants voting) with Hillary; she was going to steamroll Trump. After 4 years of Trump and the existential threat to the deep state and ruling elite he posed, they pulled out all the stops in 2020. It was pretty overt and obvious. All the complaints come after the fact and, with the help of gutless judges that didn’t want to be a part of a disputed election claiming the complainants had no “standing”. The Democrats simply denied until they ran out the clock, and Pence certainly lacked the stuff to challenge the fraud.
Musk committed $45 million to election security. Attempts at fraud were challenged and often defeated early. In one area in Pennsylvania, those who operated the counting wanted to shut down until morning, but Republican observers threatened to sue them, so they continued counting. This, no 3am “spike”. By the time Arizona and Nevada was ready to be called, Trump had already won. The margin WAS too big to rig.
