I didn’t get a freep mail from Bray last night, so Bray, post it when you can! We eagerly await the Sunday Bray!
In the meantime, here’s my rant:
It’s not the democrats who are winning.
It is the Deep State and unsolicited Mailin ballots.
The Deep State knows a Republican House will investigate them, to wit, the FBI and Justice Department. And it’s not Christopher Wray and Merrick Garland making that decision. That goes all the way up to the top of the Deep State puppet masters.
That investigation, and possible disclosure of who is really running things, CANNOT be allowed.
That last minute call by the DOJ to send “poll watchers” to a huge, selected part of the country’s polling places was the key. Those places were where they determined the Red Wave would succeed, and therefore, only DOJ meddling and cheating could stop that.
The only reason this benefits democrats is because, for a ton of money that the being in power lets you accrue; you go along with the Deep State pillaging of our Republic’s institutions. If the Republicans were so easily bribed in public then that is the party the Deep State would choose to lead us. This is why control would flip between the democrats and RINOs. All easy to make with $$$. Not so with outsider Donald Trump. He fought their corruption.
The puppet masters think this corruption is okay. After all, Julius Ceasar thought he was saving the Roman Republic by taking it over. And, to an extent, he was, as by this time the Roman Senate had become terribly corrupt and the city was in deep chaos. The only integrity and stability left in the vast Roman government was with the Legions. The Deep State sees itself as being the savior, not the destroyer, of the United States.
Ya know, “You have to burn down a village to save it.”
The destroyer’s choice weapon against our Republic is the Mailin ballot!
Mailin ballots versus absentee ballots—a HUGE difference!
There have always been absentee ballots—but the key thing is you (the individual voter) have to ask for one.
Mailin ballots in some states are sent to EVERY registered voter, and therein lies the problem.
One way people have voted is to not vote. In other words, it was not worth their time and money to go vote, ask for an absentee ballot or because they thought none of the choices mattered.
Ballots mailed to everyone, even those who have no intention, reason or desire to vote can be intercepted or harvested. The worst thing is harvested by activists trying to get votes for their candidates/issues/ballot measures.
This absolutely is a threat to our “democracy”. A person either votes or does not.
No one should ever be allowed to vote in place of another. Imagine the Deep State doing this. THAT is fraud.
Unless this changes we are lost.
The 2022 midterms had to be stolen. The stakes were too high. Paramount was control of the Senate so that any Dem confirmations would go through. The House was a more difficult target, but as Biden said a few days ago, the Dems could retain the House, but it would be like drawing to an inside straight. As matters now stand, the Reps should barely hang on, but there still remain opportunities to steal it.
Big Picture, 2022 Midterm Elections Highlight the Distinct Difference Between Ballots and Votes
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.
Perhaps the two states most reflective of ‘ballots’ being more important than ‘votes’ are Michigan and Pennsylvania. Despite negative polling and public opinion toward two specific candidates in those states, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman achieved victories.
Whitmer and Fetterman were not campaigning for votes, that is old school. Instead, the machinery behind both candidates focused on the modern path. The Democrat machines in both states focused on ballot collection and ignored the irrelevant votes as cast.
Since the advent of ballot centric focus through mail-in and collection drop-off processes, votes have become increasingly less valuable amid the organizers who wish to control election outcomes. As a direct and specific result, ballot collection has become the key to Democrat party success.
The effort to attain votes for candidates is less important than the strategy of collecting ballots.
It should be emphasized; these are two distinctly different election systems.
The system of ballot distribution and collection is far more susceptible to control than the traditional system of votes cast at precincts.
A vote cannot be cast by a person who is no longer alive, or no longer lives in the area. However, a ballot can be sent, completed and returned regardless of the status of the initially attributed and/or registered individual.
While ballots and votes originate in two totally different processes, the end result of both “ballots” and “votes,” weighing on the presented election outcome, is identical.
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.
Now that ballot collection has been shown to be a much more effective way to maintain political power, Democrats in a general sense are less focused on winning votes and more focused on gathering ballots.
When ‘ballot organization’ becomes more important than ‘vote winning,’ you modify your electoral campaign approaches accordingly. It might sound simplistic, but inside the distinct difference between ballots and votes you will find why refusing debates is a successful strategy.
If you are trying to win votes you could never fathom campaign success by refusing to debate an opponent. However, if your focus is centered around ballot collection, the debate is essentially irrelevant.
It’s time for voters to start seeing the difference between elections decided by ballots and elections decided by votes. Perhaps the 2022 midterm election will awaken people to the two completely different electioneering systems.
You can vote at any scale you want. However, when ballots are more important than votes – the election will always favor the former.
Agreed. Plus, advanced IT procedures allow partys to track which mailin ballots have not been returned by election day.
Joe Schmoe didn’t vote-—lets do it for him.
Tell me that’s not happening where MAGA types are considered evil and ruining America.
Excellent summary and direction.

Thanks for the thread, and your rant, AB. I wondered what today would bring here. I am in a mean mood...pissed. I spent many hours working for county GOP parties over the years. Seems it was all for naught. Like the joke’s on us. “Elections have consequences.” Yeah, right. As someone on FR pointed out, Florida cleaned up their election process supposedly, and the results are astounding...a 15-20 point spread vs the usual 3-5. So...where do we go from here? The cheating is obvious. Right now, cheating back seems the only way. We could have sent in my dead 2 years MIL’s ballot...but did not. My family will have to face the consequences of what we choose to do, that is for sure.
