You say you want a revolution. You’re watching one. Our forefathers would have been shooting already, but for the most part we’ve just lined up like sheep for the slaughterhouse.

A friend of mine jokingly asked, “can we use Alaska Airlines miles to get an upgrade to a better re-education camp?”

The Democrat Party and the bureaucratic state, both arms of the same entity, have used the COVID-19 scam-demic to deprive us of our lives, livelihood, liberty, and property.  

In those parts of the country under Democrat control, the citizenry has essentially been incarcerated. The whole purpose was to force uncontrolled mail ballot voting in the General Election.

The Democrat-controlled media has constantly conflated mail ballots with absentee ballots. Some states, Alaska among  them, are too liberal with absentee voting; you really should have a legitimate reason for not being able to be at your polling place in order to vote absentee. 

Disability and military service are obvious reasons. I don’t mind an early “in person” early vote for someone who will not be in the district on Election Day, but it should require an appearance before an election official, ID, and a sworn statement that you won’t be in the district.

The mail balloting being used in the Democrat states is just the uncontrolled mailing of ballots to everyone on the voter rolls to the address at which they are registered.   

In all states “motor voter” requirements cause anyone who has any contact with government to become a registered voter; Alaska has thousands of registered voters whose only contact with the State is showing up in the spring, signing up for unemployment insurance and welfare, and along the way becoming registered to vote.

 They leave when their Alaska adventure doesn’t materialize or at the end of the summer, but they remain on the voter rolls for a decade or more.

The geniuses who supported Permanent Fund dividend registration only made it worse. Everybody and his dog applies for a PFD and is automatically registered to vote. 

Flash: the Permanent Fund Division of the Department of Revenue, the people who administer the dividend program, have almost no verification or fraud detection capability.   

Instead, the division relies on fraudsters doing or saying something stupid and getting ratted out. Then, the division and the Department of Law make a lot of smoke and noise prosecuting the stupid ones that get caught and try to scare others off. That is the fraud prevention program of the PFD folks, and also the voter registration folks.

I learned about Get Out the Vote operations from a master, the late Matt Reese, the man who stole the presidency for John F. Kennedy. It is only one small step from Get Out The Vote to voter fraud. If you’re doing legitimate GOTV, you use your phone bank to make sure all of your voters have actually voted and to motivate them to vote by offering incentives from just a ride to “walking around money,” which isn’t legal but is very common.   

The next step is once you have identified the voters on your list who haven’t voted, or who don’t exist in the district anymore,  you can vote for them. In the old days, this was almost entirely a blue city phenomenon, because you had to have the cooperation or at least acquiescence of law enforcement. 

Once you had a list of your voters who didn’t exist anymore or who had resisted your attempts to get them to vote, you just saddled up the van at the union hall or the Black church, gave your voters a name, and dropped them off at the polling place to vote.   

This is why the Democrats have always so strenuously resisted voter ID.   Those were the “good old days” when you had to be pretty organized and good at what you did to commit voter fraud.

Fast forward to today’s world of computers, high quality, cheap printers, and mail ballots. In liberal or stupid jurisdictions, the government has allowed early voting and gives anyone who asks for the list of all those who’ve voted. Your campaign can mass mail ballots to every registered voter. You put a crew out to harvest any undelivered or undeliverable ballots. 

In some places you can get a lot of cooperation from unionized Postal Service workers in securing these ballots. Before long, you have a stack of ballots that no voter has used.

 If you have a decent computer guy, you can make all the fake ballots you need as well. I think the current internet rumors of watermarked “canary” ballots is just a PsyOps operation; the Department of Homeland Security isn’t really capable of doing that.

In my working days I used canary documents to run down leaks, but I was looking at groups of at most 15 or 20, and it was tough then. To do it on a national scale takes more resources, skill, and security than the federal government has these days.

Next, you put the phone bank back to work, just like in the old days, to see who is real and who has already voted. Once you have a list of those who aren’t real voters and those who haven’t or aren’t likely to vote, you just cast mail-in ballots for them or in the states that allow third-party delivery of ballots, just send the paid college punk to go deliver the ballots to the election office.

So, that is enough of Voter Fraud 101. I’m not a pro, but a bit above a rank amateur.  

Here is a way forward. The Republicans should have been in court months ago stopping governors and judges from changing election laws. One day, Republicans will learn that there is no legal requirement to be nice.

The only move left on the board is to force the question to the Supreme Court. The Democrats have been committing fraud for generations, and they’re generally quite good at it. Now and then, they get too arrogant and do something stupid, so the Republicans should be mindful of those.  

The recounts will be meaningless; the Democrats will have separated the mailing envelopes from the ballots so there will be no verifiable chain of custody and no way to attach any particular ballot to a name or address; they’re evil but not stupid. There will be no way to put the toothpaste back in the tube in the contested states.

The United States Supreme Court has never ordered a state to re-run an election and isn’t likely to today. So in the face of overwhelming evidence of voter fraud, what does the Court do?   

Well, they could just refuse the case, which means probably the Trump appointee and even Bush appointees on the Court face impeachment, a packed court, or both.

More likely, smart minds prevail. The Court concludes that there is not reasonable remedy in the states where fraud has been demonstrated.   Consequently, those states will not be allowed to cast votes in the Electoral College, the result of which is that neither Trump nor Biden have an EC majority. Absent an Electoral College majority, the election goes to the House of Representatives.

If the election goes to the House of Representatives, each state has one vote.   The Republicans currently have a majority in 27 states, but the math isn’t that simple. There is nothing that binds any Representative to his party or his/her state’s choice. There are many states that have Republican delegations but which have Democrat legislatures, governors, or Attorneys General and Secretaries of State.  

If you think faithless electors in the Electoral College are an issue, wait until the electors are members of the House.

We are destined to live in interesting times.

Do you think the election process in America is corrupt?  The process unfolding in Nevada, Michigan, Pennsylvania and other states is confirming, on a minute by minute basis, that voter integrity is not being protected and voter manipulation is happening.  

How can you trust an election outcome if you doubt the legitimacy of the process?  

• A box of mail, which included three trays of absentee ballots, was dumped into a ditch in Wisconsin.    
• Military ballots from Luzerne County, Pennsylvania were found discarded.
• Poll watchers in Philadelphia, who had validated Watcher Certificates from the Philadelphia County Board of Election, were denied entry into a polling place.
• People illegally handed out campaign brochures to voters while waiting in line to vote at the Olney Recreation Center in Philadelphia.
• Mail-in ballots received after election day with no postage date are counted. No way to verify that the ballot was completed on or before the election. Is the United States Postal Service complicate in voter fraud?  Is the Division of Elections allowing post-election ballots to be counted to skew the results a certain way?

Voter integrity is a cornerstone of democracy. Without it, our election process is subject to fraud and abuse, resulting in a lack of confidence that those elected were, in fact, the choice of the people. Voter integrity requires five fundamental absolutes. 

The first and foremost is to ensure that every American has the right to vote. 

The second is validation that the voter voting is the registered voter and not someone else.

The third is a requirement that every voter be allowed to vote without any undue interference or external influence.

The forth is that each vote is actually counted, as was cast by the voter.  Not changed, discarded, or disallowed.

The fifth is transparency, to ensure that every vote is counted as was marked by the voter.  

As President Ronald Reagan once said about working with the Soviets, “Trust but verify.”  So it is with politics. Observing the ballot counting process protects the integrity of the system.  It has been a traditional method of voter verification for decades.  

I am appalled by the actions taken by some election officials in this election to potentially manipulate the outcome. Allowing a vote counting process to be conducted by denying poll watchers their legal ability to observe the vote counting process creates the perception that unlawful activities are permissible.   

I am equally offended by election officials that have permitted ballots counted that were not signed, could not be verified that the vote cast was actually completed by the registered voter, counted people who no longer lived in that district or state, had died, or it could not be confirmed that the ballot was cast on or prior to election day.

It should not be this way. Voter registrations can be verified and purged of individuals no longer eligible to vote in a specific location.  Elections can be conducted with full transparency and accountability, where all participants can agree on the end result, win or loss.  I speak with scar tissues from past elections.  

While serving as Alaska’s lieutenant governor, I had the honor (or rather the responsibility) to oversee our states election process during a very contentious election cycle. As you may recall, that year Joe Miller ran against Senator Lisa Murkowski in the Republican primary. Joe Miller won the primary. Senator Murkowski subsequently filed to run in the general election as a write-in candidate.  

In the 2010 General Election, Miller garnered 35% of the vote; however, 40% of the total votes were write-ins that were not counted until after election day.  To finalize the general election vote count, a hand count was conducted in Juneau. Both Miller and Murkowski were allowed to have poll watchers at the site during the count. 

In fact, poll watchers from both sides were able to look directly over the shoulder of any person counting votes to verify the vote. They were able to challenge the marking or spelling of each and every ballot cast. At the end, I affirmed that Murkowski prevailed.  Miller sued the State and lost in court. He conceded in December.

Compare that to today, where in Philadelphia poll watchers were restricted from being in close proximity of the people actually counting the vote. How can you verify the marking if restricted from being close? How can you verify the legitimacy of the ballot? This restriction on an open process only leads one to conclude there must be some nefarious actions being taken to manipulate the voting outcome. 

Maybe I’m wrong, but their actions certainly don’t convince me I am.

Objective voter verification is an absolute requirement if we want to convince the public that elections are fair. I would submit that verification by government officials alone is not convincing. Verification needs to be done by all affected parties, which means candidate representatives that have been identified as certified poll watchers. This does not create an unfair election process.  Rather, it confirms the fairness of the system, process, and outcome.

I have some recommendations for changes in Alaska:

1. The Legislature should enact a law mandating that all ballots must be received by midnight on Election Day to be counted. None of this one week later stuff to count absentee and mail-in votes.  
2. We must reinstate the requirement for witness signing of all mail-in and absentee ballots. To hell with a stupid court ruling. They are wrong when it comes to maintaining voting system with integrity. When you vote in person, verification that the person voting is the same person registered to vote is required. 
3. Prohibit ballot harvesting from any third party. This idea that someone can go around and collect ballots is ludicrous. It allows for gross voter manipulation by opening the door that the person collecting the ballots could also be influencing the voter or worse, marking the ballot for them.
4. Increase penalties for campaigning at polling places. 
5. The State Division of Elections must pursue an aggressive voter registration verification process to remove from the voter registration list prior to every election those who have moved out of state; those who have moved between districts; those who have died; and those who are no longer eligible to vote.

Fair elections are crucial to the survival of a healthy democracy.  Our democratic republic is based on the principle of “one person, one vote.”  That means a legal and legitimate vote by each of us eligible to vote, not multiple votes by individuals; not votes cast by someone other than the actual voter; not votes cast based upon undue influence to a voter at the time the vote is cast; and it certainly means having all votes counted, not lost in ditches, misplaced, or discarded. 

If this election has taught us one thing, it is that our election system needs a major overhaul. Without it, we will only see more corrupt voting shenanigans by corrupt people, organizations, and governments who have contempt for the American people, and intend to continue manipulating elections to deprive us all of our constitutional rights for fair and honest elections.  

Why?  Because to them the ends justify the means.
