Did anyone ask you if you wanted to close your neighborhood polling place, or have voting centers open three to ten days, or have same day registration, or not require voter ID, or have only mail-in ballots? I know no one asked me.
The Voter’s Choice Act was passed in 2016. I always love how bills are deceptively named, like the “Affordable Care Act” that is unaffordable. The Voter’s Choice Act neither asked voters if they wanted it, nor gives voters choices. Oh, in some counties you have the choice to mail your ballot or vote at some distant polling center, but many counties already have mail-in ballots only and that is the end game. They want all mail-in ballots. The voting Centers make it more difficult to vote in person. Instead of a few blocks from you, they could be a half hour drive. This inconvenience will cause more to switch to mail in….achieving their goal.
Many may think all mail-in ballots are convenient and fine with them, but they need to understand mail-in ballots are the easiest way to commit voter fraud. And with vote harvesting (illegal in most states, for good reason) now legal in California, even easier. When Election Integrity Project verified the voter rolls they found single family homes with ten, fifteen, twenty registered to vote.
Of course, as with all progressive policies, the changes are framed altruistically, but in reality are to further political goals. We’re told these changes are to make it easier for people to vote which will increase voter participation. People would have three to ten days to vote. Would it increase participation because previously inactive voters now have more days to vote or will it increase voter participation because it creates more opportunity for voter fraud? Of course we could make voting day a holiday so that everyone could vote the same day….but that would be too easy, wouldn’t it? I’ve asked what if someone voted ten days before the election and something happens that makes you wish you hadn’t voted as you did? Too bad. Voting for days gives bad actors days to go from district to district to vote. But we’re not supposed to point that out.
The Left has perfected voter fraud and it is rampant in California. The Election Integrity Project found eight counties in California that had between 103% and 115% of eligible to vote citizens were registered to vote. Let’s break that down. We all know not everyone “eligible” to vote is “registered” to vote and not all who are registered to vote actually do vote. When you have more registered to vote than eligible to vote you know there is fraud happening.
If we support voter ID (and most of us in both parties do) the Left says we’re for voter suppression. Yes, we want to suppress voter fraud. And when we know there are more voters registered to vote than eligible voters, there IS voter fraud. In the eight counties in California that have more registered than eligible, it resulted in 991,411 more votes than eligible voters. This isn’t just happening in California, it’s happening in every blue state in the country. Every means is used to make fraud easier. Motor voter added more than 200,000 illegal registrations (that DMV admits to) to California rolls. Add to this Google influencing 2.5 to 10 million votes and no wonder Democrats were so shocked when they lost the election.
Yes, some people move and are still registered at their old address. They could be getting two mail-in ballots and they could be voting twice and it wouldn’t be discovered until after the election is called, if ever. Same with college students. They could be registered at school and in their home state, vote both places and once again, it won’t be discovered until after the election is called.
We hear those on the Left say there are so few convictions for voter fraud that it proves there is little fraud happening. But it is extremely difficult to prove voter fraud. Since every attempt to require voter ID is challenged in courts, if someone votes for an inactive voter, how is anyone to know. If an illegal alien with forged or stolen ID registers to vote, who would know? Project Veritas has a video of a DNC Operative bragging about busing people from district to district to vote for the last 30 years. If the media gave that video the attention it deserved, the public would be more concerned, but most have never seen it.
California is holding meetings to explain to voters the changes the Voter’s Choice Act is bringing. We need to go to these meetings and ask why we weren’t consulted. Why those in Sacramento think they know better. Polls have shown that most of us, regardless of party, support:
Voter ID
Making voting day a holiday
Voting in person (unless sick or out of town)
Paper ballots (not computers)
Who fights against voter ID? Who wants only mail-in ballots? Who wants voting centers open for days? And who benefits most from voter fraud?
We have the most important election of our lives, of our country, in 2020. This election will decide if we continue to be a Republic, if we continue to have Capitalism, if our Constitution, 1st & 2nd Amendments survive, if we have individual liberty, or a sovereign nation.
This is not the time to sit on the sidelines. We need to register voters, we need to walk precincts, we need to volunteer with the Election Integrity Project, observe polls, talk to people every chance we get.
The Left is doing everything possible to make voter fraud easier. We need to do everything possible to prevent it. God bless America.
