Big Picture, 2022 Midterm Elections Highlight the Distinct Difference Between Ballots and Votes
The Last Refuge ^ | 11/9/22 | Sundance

As the political discussion centers on the 2022 wins and losses from the midterm election, one thing that stands out in similarity to the 2020 general election is the difference between ballots and votes. It appears in some states this is the ‘new normal.’

Where votes were the focus, the Biden administration suffered losses. Where ballots were the focus, the Biden administration won.

While initially the ballot form of election control was tested in Deep Blue states, through the process of mail-in returns under the guise and justification of “expanding democracy,” a useful tool for those who are vested in the distinction, I think we are now starting to see what happens on a national level when the process is expanded.

The controversial 2020 election showed the result of making ‘ballots’ the strategy for electoral success. Under the justification of COVID-19 mitigation, mail-in ballots took center stage. Ballot harvesting by Democrat operations was one term for the outcome.

Democrat party officials and political activist groups knew how to exploit the opportunities within the new system of ballot distribution and collection, and when you combine that with a massive legal pressure campaign to accept any and all forms of ballots, well, you can see how they are dependent.

Dopey, dopey, dopey Republicans.

In the fight over voters and ballots, the Ds threw out large nets and brought in 100s of ballots for each voter who showed up on election day and voted. It's a number game we can't win

The Rs are always a half-step behind the socialists.

Or maybe they're not.

Proof they probably don’t actually care about us.

McCarthy, Mitch and McDaniel had two years to understand the 2020 election and they either didn’t understand what happened or knew and chose to ignore it.

Saw this earlier in the day.

So ballots in some states are sent willy-nilly to voters whether asked for or not.

Then the ballots are returned in the mail.

Nobody checking who filled out the ballot.

It’s not notarized.

Democrats win everywhere this is done.

It will become impossible for a Republican to win in many of these states because there just aren’t enough voters to out-vote the ballots.

DeSantis fixed Florida. And his result probably would have been matched nationwide had other governors/sec of state(s) used his model.

Exactly, with special attention to college campuses where Gen Z live/work/school. These areas are swamped with ballots and even if only 50% are completed and returned (to the convenient drop boxes) they far outnumber walk in, election day voters.

“Dopey, dopey, dopey Republicans.”

~~~~~~~

Sorry Jon, but given the nature of the organized system of corruption we are finally becoming aware of, it becomes apparent that one has a very hard time
becoming a powerful “republican” without being part of the corruption system.

The Democrats have taken political science and theft to the level that lets them
play both wings, as both parties at once, at every level.

Now that we can see it, the question is, can they frighten and kill enough of us
to silence the opposition, permanently.

Maybe they can.

It looks like we are going to find out.

We can see why just going to the polls and voting is a waste of time. This is why that Hobbs woman in Arizona didn’t bother with a debate with Kari Lake.

Surprising we do as well as we do. All this of course is Trump’s fault.

My new theorem (with no evidence) of Dem cheating is that the democrats determine which states to attack, guess how many votes they believe they need to win, and pump in the needed votes up front. The big step of the needed votes early morning in 2020 was way too obvious.

This year was very different than 2020 which had the Republicans far ahead up front (the real vote) only to fall behind with a big single big flood (fraud vote step) of the needed votes early in the morning.

This may work better for them, but they may have underestimated the needed votes in AZ. We will see.

My theory is not backed by hard evidence but I’m sticking with it.
