The Election Integrity Battle Must Be Won before It Is Fought: We need a strategy, to be actually implemented, for next time

Sun Tzu's maxim was certainly true for the 2020 election. I don't need to go into detail because Mollie Hemingway has already shown that the election was rigged.

Republicans should have learned that once the votes are cast, it is nearly impossible to litigate fairness. They did not. It's fair to say that in spite of all the talk after the 2020 election about fixing election integrity, very little was done that actually improved things. I must have heard Jenna Ellis bloviating a hundred times about how her Election Integrity Alliance was going to make sure everyone working on integrity was moving forward, getting it done. Fail. It's even worse, as the left is now refining its tactics and focusing on taking over the election process for good. Leftists even enlisted the federal government in registering voters who are unlikely to cast a ballot so they can cast one for them. Democrats have a long history of fiddling with elections.

Fast-forward to 2022, and we find ourselves with a disappointing outcome, particularly in same five states as in 2020: Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, and Wisconsin. The radio pundit class and others all had opinions on why we were disappointed. NeverTrumps said, "It's Trump's fault!" Others like the feckless Arizona GOP leader Kelli Ward cried about lack of funding in key races. (True.) Others complained about candidate quality.

It seemed as though we were ready for it, but it is clear that the same shenanigans, refined with practice, occurred, primarily against conservatives. In 2020, all the toss-ups went to the GOP. Not so in 2022; they all went to the Democrats. In Virginia, the Democrat Ballot-Harvesting Manual instructs workers to go after dead people and bad addresses. In Nevada, GOP Senate candidate Adam Laxalt received a defeat from the jaws of victory when his opponent pulled out an impossible victory. In Arizona, vote totals show a flip of votes from the congressional races to the conservative statewide races of over 250,000 votes. In fact, for the top four statewide races, there were 150,000 additional votes over the congressional vote. Hmmm. The only statewide GOP wins were treasurer and superintendent of public instruction, both of whom are RINOs. Matt Gaetz accurately called it a McFailure.

Ideas have been proposed to win future elections, including improving vote integrity. Just get rid of absentee ballots, get rid of electronic voting, count the votes that day. Easy-peasy. Nonsense. Atlanta lost the All Star game because of passing modest reforms. The Republican-led Legislature in Arizona passed a law with no teeth. Although the Michigan Legislature passed some vote integrity bills, they were vetoed by Gretchen von Whitmer. The only real improvements were made in safe Republican states. None of these new laws came close to the kind of reforms needed, in the states needed, to level the playing field. We cannot count on any election integrity improvements where they are needed.

Finally something worth reading on this topic, not just wishing and whining. everyone sat on theirasses and we got what was inevitable, and that includes Trump.

Here is Job #1: Elections are delegated to the States, so every state need to setset requirements for election integrity, including checks and balances, strict monitoring(or elimination) of mail and early voting, standards for what constitutes fraud or malfeasance, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, new remedies IN LAW for cancelling andre-doing elections when those criteria are met.

The latter is the only way this will ever stop. they do it because they know there is no remedy in present laws. The worst that can happen is an individual can be prosecuted, and the election they rigged stands.

All we need is a judge to state the corruption is too deep and too entrenched, the only remedy is the 2nd amendment.

Now if we can concentrate on electing a judge or elected official that is willing to go on record as such, we may be on the path to righteousness, justice, and healing.

Absent that, we are just wasting time.

There is no "Next Time".....

With mail-in fraud now cemented in place, and NO Voter ID cemented in place, the "Election" outcomes are already known to the Deep State, and there's nothing REAL American Citizen Voters can do about it at the ballot box.

It's done; and the USA is just another member of the New World Order Globalists.
