Unlike most Republicans, I did not anticipate a red wave. In fact, someone asked me on Facebook if I thought we would have a red wave. My response?<\/p>\n

The bellwether indicators suggested that there was going to be a red wave; however, I provided a caveat that indicated that the possibility that the red wave would not happen… The fact that the Democrats have been working their election fraud game since they tried to steal Florida in 2000.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The problems from 2020 were not all completely addressed. As was indicated in another thread, issues occurred related to voting machines, there was an instance of a volunteer trying to interfere with the voting process by telling someone who to vote for, and a report that there was an unusual ballot dump.<\/p>\n

In the aftermath of 2020, people argued that if they do not fix 2020, a repeat would occur in 2022, 2024, and after. There is precedence for this statement. Venezuela, under Hugo Chavez, had a voting system created that would allow Chavez to stay in power. That system saved him from a recall, and insured that he, and his successor, would continue to win. The voting software they used is similar to what is used in the US.<\/p>\n

The complaints among the Venezuelans were similar to that of the US\u2026 One side complaining about election fraud. The other side dismissed them as showcasing nothing, that the election was “legitimate” and “fair”. Eventually, one side abandoned the electoral process. This resulted in the other groups not really being needed by the parties that they supported.<\/p>\n

Voters supporting the initially disenfranchised parties were among the first to disengage from the voting process. They were followed by other groups in later elections as a growing number of people found that voting was pointless. Why waste time participating in a rigged election?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

For this, what had the Venezuelans been able to accomplish? Changes in the Constitution that benefited the elite, including the consolidation of power into the hands of a few people.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Given this reality, talks about party soul-searching, finding that likable candidate, dismissing the disenfranchised party for doing nothing while they were in power, being too hard on abortion, etc., would be pointless. Even if all these issues were addressed, if fraud is not fixed, the same results could be expected in follow on elections.<\/p>\n

Those who dismiss election fraud point to the court cases that did not happen. Utilizing procedures to prevent the case to going to trial, involving both sides presenting arguments, does not necessarily mean that the side requesting a trial was “wrong”. Mountains of evidence was gathered. Arizona posted reports related to their audit, substantiating many of the complaints advanced in 2020.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

However, when many refuse to go through these documents, why even insist that this evidence did not exist? In research, there is a process where different kinds of information, from different kinds of information sources, are collected for the purpose of detecting a pattern. When the information gathered point to one conclusion, the data could be described as being verified via triangulation of data.<\/p>\n

We can do all the soul-searching we want regarding Republican performance in 2020, and 2022, but if these issues are not fixed, not a single solution that arises will change our luck.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The sooner we all assume that election fraud is “nonsense” and did not happen, the sooner the Democrats could rigg enough results to get enough people in office at the federal and state level to make changes to the US Constitution… Like repealing the 2nd Amendment, adjusting or even repealing the 1st Amendment, removing the Electoral College, etc.<\/p>\n
