A Republic In The Balance

 

Democrats have made it abundantly clear that, if they regain control of the Congress and White House, they will make California Rules Voting the law of all the land. Indeed, during the Biden/autopen administration, House Democrats passed the “For the People Act,” a sweeping federal bill that would have overridden numerous state-level election laws, further limited voter ID requirements, required states to offer online voter registration, torpedoed efforts to maintain accurate voter rolls, and allowed almost limitless ballot harvesting.

To put it in Democratic-Marxist speak: “Would be glorious new freedom for every friend of the fatherland, guaranteeing that enemies of the most exalted state could not destroy our beloved democracy! It would put a stop to the fascist oppressors’ incessant attempt to strip everyone but straight, white, Christian males of their inherent right to vote. If the fascist oppressors challenge us, we will make their blood run red in the Peoples’ Streets! That will mark them as red states, ha, ha, ha! But we will soon turn them bluer than blue! The Great Satan will be taught the mother of all lessons! Um, anyway, ahem, so please vote for us…and effectively for you…and for our beloved democracy. Thank you.”

States with mail in balloting, ballot harvesting-- and where no ID is needed for in-person voting—are simply trying to game the system. Some states have actually refused to scrub their voter rolls of hundreds of thousands of provably dead people. There can be no other possible reason for this than that those states use those dead folks to cheat. “Well, we know dead people can’t legally vote, but we can’t in good conscious take them off our voter rolls because they are a critical non-voting bloc.” Huh? No, they are dead. The only reason you want them on your voting rolls is so that you can utilize them when a Democrat candidate needs help. It doesn’t get any sicker—or less democratic—than that. Screw any safeguards!

A nation can no longer effectively function when some states implement steps to assure the integrity of their elections and others don’t. If its citizens understandably lose confidence in the election process—and the outcome—as a whole and lose respect for basically every other one of its institutions, that nation will soon collapse.

Election integrity is, on several levels, the defining issue of our time. Because, for better or for worse, it determines so very much else of great import. If a so-called Republican congress and a Republican president cannot find a way to pass the SAVE Act against Democrat opposition and secure our elections before it’s too late, this republic will simply cease to be. And soon.
