The chaotic non-results of the 2020 presidential election was not surprising. Election observers have warned that making so many fundamental changes to the election rules would lead to delays and unreliable results. Trying to bring more people into the system may have the best intentions, but watch out for the Law of Unintended Consequences. Going forward our nation has to homogenize the federal election process. We can't have every state making their own rules. Locally, they can do whatever they want, but nationally, there has to be consistency. And the goal should be to have reliable results within no more than 48 hours after the polls close. Unfortunately millions of Americans are convinced the 2020 process was corrupted. Right or wrong, this is culturally unacceptable. Perception is reality and we deserve a reliable process to exercise our franchise. I would argue that since we introduced electronic ballot processing, the amount of variation in reporting of results has increased exponentially. It is almost normal to see voting trends reverse themselves overnight. I have lived through decades of elections and up until just the last few we knew the results by the next morning and the voting trends were very stable and predictable. Not anymore! In California too many times we go to bed convinced the Republican won, only to find out the next morning, or a few days later, the Democrat suddenly received just enough votes to squeak out the victory. Now we have a one party state. Go figure! And now we are being told that Joe Biden drew ten million more votes than Barack Obama? Pundits tell us that Biden's election was a referendum on Trump, and it indicated a strong rejection of the man himself. Yet he pulled ten million more votes than he did when he won in 2016. He increased his share of black, latino and women voters. He not only didn't lose any votes, he gained ten million more! Joe Biden is not Barack Obama! He is not Hillary Clinton. He is not a leading man in Hollywood. He is not a good campaigner. He doesn't inspire people. So his claim to fame is he is not Donald Trump? So statistically, we are supposed to believe that not only did every person that voted for Hillary vote for Biden, but of the total 21 million new voters since 2016 Biden won nearly 80% of them. I personally know Hillary supporters that voted for Trump this time, so the numbers seem suspicious at best. Statistically, there are enormous anomalies that raise red flags, so the President's legal team have instigated a series of lawsuits in five battleground states. They say they have evidence of improprieties that violate Federal law. It has been three weeks and the media is howling, "Where is the evidence of voter fraud?" Here's the rub: In any legal process, there is a burden of proof, and it is up to the challenger to provide it. In major lawsuits against Big Tobacco or Big Oil where fraud and evidence tampering are involved, the Justice Department is allowed a substantial amount of time to do it's due diligence. Trump's allegations are very serious and imply major crimes may have been committed. The Trump Team has to present preliminary evidence that convinces a judge, not the Media Mob, that there is probable cause to allow the process to proceed. The idea that Trump's Team is taking too long to investigate what some allege could be the largest incidence of voter fraud ever uncovered, is ludicrous. It is going to take time. If it takes months or even a year or two, so be it. When the government goes after Medicare fraud, ponzi schemes, or tax evaders, nobody complains if it takes years to prosecute. So I wonder why there are so many Democrats pushing to rush this investigation? Wouldn't any American patriot want to know if our voting system is corrupted? If you have nothing to hide, why rush? We should all be eager to know how trustworthy our election system is, or isn't. Voting is the heart and soul of America. This is a good time to give the voting system a complete physical exam. |
