A lot of people get angry when we talk about election fraud.  In fact, it can get you kicked off of social media if you talk about fraud in the 2020 U.S. presidential election.  But we should look deeper.  It has been said - disingenuously by some and sincerely by others - that this is not a partisan issue.  It isn’t about Trump or Biden, Republian or Democrat, right or left.  It is about a simple principle.  It is about the integrity of the foundation of our republic - the legitimacy of our election, the integrity of the ballot.

Some will say. “Oh, you just care about this now because your guy lost.  You wouldn’t be so interested in it if your guy won.”   Regrettably, there might be some who actually believe this - hey, if it works why not do it?  “What’s good for the goose . . . “  ``But we really need to check that kind of thinking.  A win by virtue of rigging the election is NOT as good as a legitimate win for the voters, no matter who won.  

A system of election based on a vote by the people, even granted the filter of an electoral college, is that what the people want becomes important, at least leading up to an election.  This is a huge power.  The people exercise this power over those they elect to govern them.  It’s far from perfect, and it is even somewhat prone to some near-sighted interests.  Many of the issues of the day divide along so-called party lines.  Most of the people who believe that the Second Amendment is outdated and unnecessary or refers to the National Guard or something of that sort - in other words, people who would disarm the general public - will tend to vote for and associate with and fund Democrat candidates.  On the other hand, those who see this as a basic right of self-defense, forged into our Constitution and fundamental to our nation’s safety - they will tend to vote for, associate with and fund Republicans.  Many of our most important issues divide along these party lines.  Abortion, taxation, immigration, minimum wage, the border, crime, civil rights issues, education - almost every aspect of our public policy - can be divided this way - left or right.  

We vote our own interests.  This isn’t to say it’s good or bad - it just is.  It is basically how we have organized our relationship with our government in a self-governing republic. 

So - what has all of this to do with rigged elections?  Here is why we should not want our chosen candidate - be he Republican or Democrat - to win an election through dishonest means.  If he does, then it means he does not need our vote to win.  If he does not need our vote to win, what commitment will he really have to us, the voters?  Let’s say Candidate A won the vote but due to “irregularities'' he did not prevail.  Okay - the people who voted for Candidate A will be angry and disappointed.  The people who voted for Candidate B might be excused for feeling euphoric and enjoying the moment until you think a little deeper about it.  If they believed, truly believed, that their candidate’s victory was legitimate, they are right to feel pleased.  But if evidence begins to emerge that this victory was the product of something dishonest, not the result of honest voter turnout, instead of becoming angry at those who reveal the truth, they would be better to turn on the candidate who betrayed us all - who won by virtue of a rigged system.  They should be as angry as those whose candidate was not declared the winner because it would mean that they have become irrelevant to the candidate and the party.  

We say that our elected representatives “answer to the people”.  They answer to the people only if the people elect them.   What if they rightly understand that they owe their victory at the polls to something else?  Like another foreign government that has found ways of manipulating the voting machine algorithms?  Then whom do they answer to?  Whose policies will be imposed?  

If you voted for Joe Biden and truly thought that he won legitimately, what do you do about evidence which is mounting that clearly indicates something else at work?  When people who have everything to lose and nothing to gain come forward and sign affidavits attesting to fraudulent practices?  When you see how one candidate’s vote total went down during election night counting - the same number of votes that your candidate’s went up, and within a matter of seconds in time?  What do you think when a major figure in the high-tech world in Italy confesses to manipulating votes in the American election?  You simply must not look away from these things because they harm you immensely - arguably more than they harm those who voted against Biden.  Because it means that your vote was not relevant to the outcome.  No one need answer to you.  The people who voted against Biden are still relevant to the Republican candidates.  

This is why no voter should desire his candidate to win through a steal of the vote.  Tempting as it is to want to celebrate a win and as unpleasant as it may be to confront the evidence that  the election was not won by the vote of the people, it is in your best interest to look at this and to demand answers just as those on the other side are demanding them.  To sit by and allow someone to be sworn into office who was not the winner of the actual vote threatens your future as much and perhaps more than the people of the other party.  It is you, not they, who have been disenfranchised.  Indeed, we all have, but those not swamped on their own side by fraudulent ballots and vote switching at least have a claim on the interest of the people they did vote for.  Their vote still matters in a way yours does not.  

Here is a link to an interesting interview by Jan Jekelek with Sidney Powell.  She offers for consideration some important evidence.  Can it be answered?  Can it be explained away?  Or should Democrats and Republicans alike seek answers?  Either way, regardless of where we stand at the moment, we owe it to ourselves to give this our serious thought.

Think about this.  Don’t you think you should be demanding the truth about this election too?  If a careful and thorough investigation turns up no fraud or explains what appears to be fraud to our satisfaction, fine.  But if questions still linger, unanswered, or if the answers are damning, why would you want to support this?  And why would you not want to know the truth?  Did you really “win” if your candidate owes his “victory” to something or someone other than you and your vote?  Maybe you lost too.  Maybe someone or something else actually won.  Give it some thought.
