You're in excellent company. I would not worry about what the darkness says.
God is on our side - every step.
I say, "They come at us with computers, fake news, and a few sock-puppet governments, but We come in the holy and mighty Name of The Lord Our God! Also -
"The LORD said to my lord, sit at my right hand until I crush your enemies and place them beneath your feet." (paraphrased). God already has this. I know you already know this.
Are you familiar with ChatGPT and others? One can now artificially create what looks like a very professional article, of ANY length, which appears to have taken much time and understanding to create. ChatGPT enables just a few people to do great damage at the push of a button - making the unstable quake in their boots. There is no way to tell if actual people are writing the majority of this foolish garbage. It's just a front, most is likely produced by the hidden new Axis of Evil.
I know you are aware of all the machine ID and ballot stealing, and the CISA report from Alex Halderman that proves these Dominion machines are designed to copy and reproduce unauthorized ballots (and AFTER Election Day). How can you say people are voting for these self-destructive fools? I just cannot imagine that many people voting for candidates they don't trust. It's just easier to imagine people who vote, ARE voting for the most decent candidates they can find. How can this not be the case, when EVERY state machine system is centrally controlled, as Doug Frank has proven time and again.
I think many conservatives do not like the idea of ballot harvesting or mail in voting but is there an alternative? I don't understand how so many still do not accept the fact that there was fraud in 2020 & 2022. AND it will continue until We the People do something about it. Too many people still don't realize the US is on the brink of Communism!
Well said Sally. Should Trump win, we know the treasonous media will scream 24/7 that Trump cheated! Maybe this would be what it finally takes for them to admit what they probably already know to be true? No, I doubt it.
But what if our courts/state legislatures/state election boards suddenly decide to prosecute election fraud against conservatives?
We’re in a hell of a situation here no matter how you look at it to me.
Maybe when we fight over which side produces the final ‘find’ of 5,000, 10,000 or 25,000 votes six months after election day...maybe then both sides will commit to election integrity?
Seth, why do the Electors make the final decision on who wins the Presidential Election? I'm trying to figure this out, having only started to care about this stuff in 2016, and it just doesn't make sense to me. Why isn't our choice of President based on the total number of human votes? The article says,
"What Is the Electoral College?
The system calls for the creation, every four years, of a temporary group of electors equal to the total number of representatives in Congress. Technically, it is these electors, and not the American people, who vote for the president. In modern elections, the first candidate to get 270 of the 538 total electoral votes wins the White House.
The Electoral College was never intended to be the “perfect” system for picking the president, says George Edwards III, emeritus political science professor at Texas A&M University.
“It wasn’t like the Founders said, ‘Hey, what a great idea! This is the preferred way to select the chief executive, period,’” says Edwards. “They were tired, impatient, frustrated. They cobbled together this plan because they couldn’t agree on anything else.”"
Why would Electors not just vote whatever way they wanted? What makes them better at deciding who should be President? Who are they any way?????? Why do they care what we the people vote for? How can you be certain that they aren't scamming us just like everything else in the Country is a SCAM? Why can't we just COUNT THE VOTES? And the person with the MOST Wins?
If America didn't use an Electoral College (and simply counted all the votes) then any vote fraud in one state, such as fraud in major cities, would disenfranchise voters in other states with better election security. The Electoral College limits the effective fraud to one state’s voters. Also, as the Founding Fathers pointed out, certain low population areas of the country would be totally ignored by candidates in favor of campaigning in densely populated areas. Without the Electoral College, the concerns of rural voters would be ignored by presidential candidates. Arkansas, NM, Iowa, Nebraska, ND, SD, etcetera — they would be irrelevant without the Electoral College.
The Electoral College is brilliant, because it weights the votes and the interest of all classes of citizens so that presidential candidates cannot ignore huge swaths of the country if they want to win the presidency.
You are conflating different features of the USA's voting system.
We could have the same voting system as today without electors. So each state still has X votes towards the presidency and they are assigned based on whatever the state rules are. Most states are currently winner take all but this entirely up to each state. Nebraska and Maine are not winner take all. And every other state is free to make their own rules for deciding their votes towards the presidency (some states didn't even have general votes for president until the mid 1800s).
Dems always whine about the winner take all aspect but CA and NY have democrat trifectas at the state level (house, senate, gov) and they have no interest in changing the winner take all aspect in their own state because they would lose some of their (54 + 28) free electoral votes.
Re: Count the votes and the person with the most votes wins.
Removing the whole electoral vote system would require a constitutional amendment (IE not going to happen). The only reason smaller states joined the union or ratified the original constitution was because of the way the system works to protect smaller states via the electoral votes and senate (every state gets 2 senators).

It’s worth every penny
Thank you sir, as always.
