Three Years Later: 10 Things We've Learned Since 11/3/2020

Topic: Elections

November 3, 2020.

Three years ago, as I write this very article.  The future will recall the date, 11/3, infamously, as we now look at Pearl Harbor Day or 9/11 in somber spirit.  While I recognize that the “election” dragged on for a solid week after this anniversary, the event will always be linked to Election Day 2020, the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November (remember, a hallmark of electile dysfunction is when you have an election lasting longer than four days).  You can tell already at this point in the article that I do believe we will eventually prevail over corruption and restore sanity to the experiment of self-government.  The question isn’t “will we survive?” but rather, “how long will it take for us to reverse course?”

If you’re like me, you spent most of 2021 in eager expectation that a series of events, some real and others not so much, would land President Trump back at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, even though such a thing is without precedent in presidential politics.  I expected that any number of the 2020 contested states (Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin) would come apart at the seams under intense pressure from grassroots election integrity activists, of which there are many future American legends scattered about this great land, ranging from the downright famous, to influencers, to local household names, and the relative unknowns who want to get back to running a business or raising kids and grandkids.

Many people know a lot more today than they did three years ago.  Roughly 40% of Americans believed the 2020 quasi-election was rigged at the time it went down, and that number has skyrocketed to 62% - or better put, 5 of 8 American likely voters, including an inordinate number of Democrats.  If people on the outside of this giant train wreck can see nuggets of truth now, sit with me for a moment and ponder the wealth of knowledge that now resides in between our ears, 1,095 days after we were jolted from a decades long slumber in which we believed that while certain places ran corrupt elections, the right candidates could still carry the battlefield and always give our country a shot at greatness.

Here are 10 Things We’ve Learned since the dubious anniversary of 11/3:

I.               Election Manipulation Consists of Death by 1,000 Cuts

“If we can just get rid of the machines, we will be able to win again.” I hear it all the time.  The sentiment is on the money, because “the machines” are part of the issue and offer us the low-hanging fruit of no transparency to clobber our critics with.  After the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial race, decided by a razor thin margin partly on account of voting machines in Republican-dominant areas “not working,” we have a large base of support within the grassroots (almost none within government) to move to more primitive means of voting, such as in person, at the precinct, on hand marked paper ballots counted by hand at the same location.

However, old-school ballot stuffing is still taking place, as evidenced by many recent court cases, firsthand accounts, documentaries, and obvious publicly available items such as “mail-ballot request” totals that defy all previously known history.  We can ditch the electronic elections infrastructure all day long, but as long as we are permitting any slack whatsoever in who is eligible to receive a ballot in the mail, thereby not needing to show his or her face at a polling location, we will be vulnerable to organized gangs of ballot harvesters spending weeks of the early voting period cramming ballots into unsupervised drop boxes like it’s their job – because it is.  These practices alone would have cost President Trump the election in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, and Michigan even if there were no voting machines, because..

II.             The Voter Rolls are Corrupted

Judicial Watch dropped the news just before the 2020 election highlighting just how fraudulent the voter rolls of blue states are, and many states are running to implement Automatic Voter Registration to ensure they maintain a death grip on selecting their desired bureaucrats against the will of the people.  AVR makes election integrity impossible and, if machines and mail-ballots are guns, provides the bullets to further sink the ship of public faith in elections.  Remember, the only state that doesn’t have voter registration, North Dakota, also had the cleanest election in 2020, by far.

For three years, canvassers have done the leg work and found incredible amounts of registrations lodged inside simple apartment units, assisted living centers, dormitories, and beachside condo units – sometimes even in empty lots, post offices, and forlorn fields.  Someone knows where these ballots are going, and it’s not us.  Automatic Voter Registration cost President Trump Georgia, Nevada, and Michigan of just the contested states alone, and many states, like Arizona, Texas, and Florida are finding alternate means of inflating the voter rolls against all previously established expectations for growth.

III.            Ballot Harvesting is Fool’s Gold

Several people you likely follow, if you’re among the first to read this article, waited patiently on October 12 to speak with Scott Presler on a Spaces forum on X.  Scott no-showed, although he had plenty of time to take on much bigger spaces to promote how we are somehow going to defeat the masters of corruption by not only taking them on at their own game, but by announcing that endeavor nearly two years ahead of time.  This is akin to a frat boy accepting prime Mike Tyson’s invitation to step around the side of the house to settle a personal dispute.

While I realize some patriots in lawless states have no choice but to play ball with the vote-by-mail system and its accompanying ballot harvesting, and in some cases have picked off seats in surprising fashion, this is a long-term loser, and will only get worse as people endorse it and normalize it in coming years.  Democrats own the inner city, where people don’t vote at the same percentages suburban and rural voters do.  Time is no longer a constraint in elections – with sophisticated data and technology at the ready, hooked up in real time, and as many early ballots cast as possible (either by mail or in person), collecting the ballots of ineligible, non-voting, or otherwise fictitious registrations is highly organized and just in time to find results like we had in Nevada last year, with Adam Laxalt and Jim Marchant being knocked off at the last minute by changes to election law that make this sort of chicanery legal.  President Trump lost all six 2020 contested states largely thanks to ballot harvesting, which was and is still illegal in many states he should have won, like Arizona and Georgia.  Read here to see the impact of ballot harvesting once it goes full speed in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

IV.           Polls and Narratives Tip Off the Steal

“President Trump trails in Wisconsin by 17 points, has record low share of Republican support heading into final two months of campaign.”

We read this drivel every cycle, and still panic over it.  In contrast, we celebrate polls, too, when we really shouldn’t.  Polling is simply a tool – it is neither good nor bad in and of itself.  If the media overlords can’t fake the polls enough to convince you a certain result is imminent, then they will craft the clever narratives, like the one that has far too many Arizonans scratching their heads and believing that yes, perhaps Kari Lake was just too extreme – even though her population-scaled midterm election vote total in 2022 is commensurate with what has amounted to double-digit Republican margins of victory for the past three decades.

The primary narrative against Trump in 2020, given that the media knew he would shock the world with his Hispanic voter performance (and to a lesser degree, black males), was to entrench the belief that he would get clobbered by angry, bitterly feminist suburban women who, for some reason, weren’t against Trump in 2016 a month after the Billy Bush tape dropped and he was running against a woman, but were lined up by the hundreds, wrapped around the fire station in the pouring rain, to knock out the first president in their lifetimes, and their mothers’ lifetimes, to not send their sons or daughters to die in a faraway desert or jungle.  Strangely enough, I’ve found through extensive research that President Trump’s vote totals and output of net new votes far surpasses any modern Republican nominee in key suburban strongholds not only in red states, but in blue ones as well.  Turns out moderate suburban women don’t want their heads bashed in with baseball bats by left-wing anarchists, but the points of fraud listed above washed those gains away in the lawless metros of the Pacific Northwest.

These narratives gave cover for the steal, particularly in Arizona and Georgia, and would have covered for Texas had President Trump not completely dominated in gaining votes that almost never abandon the Democrat Party.

V.             The 2020 Quasi-Election Ran Coast to Coast

While meaning well, those who say six counties in six states disrupted the outcome of the 2020 election couldn’t be further off the mark.  The 2020 quasi-election was well-orchestrated, but because of desperation and a lack of sound execution (not to mention Trump’s incredible gain of 11 million votes), we have countless loose threads at our disposal to prove that the entire system is in desperate need of overhaul.  There are several states with little strategic or electoral value that lean a few points left, like West Virginia, most likely to provide cover for Western Pennsylvania to have lurched slightly left in margin from 2016.  Someone trying to rip off the electoral votes of the Industrial Midwest must have an insurance policy in place, because President Trump losing Pennsylvania but winning or narrowly losing Oregon would be a dead giveaway that something stinks to high heaven and should be subject to intense scrutiny.

My comprehensive map, shown above, shows Maine, New Hampshire, and New Mexico within two points (and Minnesota won by Trump), and Colorado, Oregon, Washington, New Jersey, Hawaii, and Virginia all within six points – and that the “blue wall” is a media and political establishment illusion of control.  The six contested states aren’t even in the Top 10 closest states, and none are closer than 6.4% in margin, at best case for Biden.  Even in states Biden lost, like Florida and Texas, ridiculous amounts of fraudulent votes are piled into Trump-won counties – because they all work toward the very discouraging goal of 81 million votes cast for an octogenarian establishment bureaucrat lacking any meaningful achievements over five decades in government, who didn’t campaign in any tangible way.

VI.           Look Here, Not There

Some of the contested states had notable issues with the places a politically-inclined investigator would look first for any signs of malfeasance – Fulton County, Georgia, and Wayne County, Michigan, come to mind, with their broken urinal pipes and boarded up counting centers at the top of my list.  Many urban Democrat strongholds, like core Detroit, parts of core Atlanta, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Bronx, had major trends in favor of President Trump, with little growth for Joe Biden over Clinton’s totals.  All throughout the countryside, however, evidence of major election manipulation exists.  Record piles of Democrat gains, posted concurrently with record gains for Trump, are cluttered into the Macomb, York, Lancaster, Westmoreland, Livingston, Outagamie, Pinal, Yavapai, and Cherokee Counties of the election world.

Biden’s gains defied the massive Republican registration advantages taking place nearly everywhere in the country.  Opponents of registration by party analysis will never hesitate to say party affiliation doesn’t determine who you must vote for, and they are correct.  But why does President Trump follow those registration trends with record GOP gains in counties with stagnant or declining populations, only to be caught from behind by gains just as large from a candidate who didn’t campaign in counties with fewer Democrats registered than the election before that, and the one before that, and the one before that?  Is it to control the margins to prevent blowouts in the red areas that make it impossible for blue areas to overtake them?

VII.          The Balkan Powder Keg of Distrust

5 of 8 American likely voters do not believe the results of the 2020 election were decided fairly.  Nearly the same percentage are anticipating a repeat in 2024, and Kari Lake’s filings suggested nearly 3 out of 4 polled believed Maricopa County deliberately disenfranchised its own citizens with its maladministration of its 2022 elections.  Lake’s subsequent lawsuits have laid bare the playbook that has been at work for Maricopa’s last three federal elections, dating back to 2018, when Katie Hobbs was swept into office as Secretary of State days after the mainstream media had called the race on election night for her Republican opponent, Steve Gaynor.

A staggering number of Americans, in general, do not believe we, in the freest nation the world has ever known, have a trustworthy system of elections, independent of their feelings about who is or is not being elected (or selected).  Most of this sentiment is because things are evolving toward…

VIII.        Democrat vs. Democrat

I take heat all the time for not reaching far enough to say President Trump won California, Massachusetts, or even Washington, D.C.  I believe wholeheartedly that if one could unpack decades of corruption, he would likely find much different election results than he has been sold on for that period.  I stick to low-hanging fruit largely because I have anticipated a day in which I would need to be a viable source of information to those who hang around long enough to see the worldwide consequences of stolen elections.  We have seen Democrat candidates in various states having no votes recorded for themselves at their own precinct in which the candidate and his or her spouse voted, and just recently, Democrat judges overturning fraudulent Democrat primary racesrigged by their own machinations.

Democrat distrust of elections is not new, whether by legitimate or illegitimate rationale.  What is being made clear by the proceedings of the post-11/3/2020 world is that yes, Bernie Sanders should have been the Democrat nominee in 2016, and the left-wing populist faction of the Democrat party was shafted then, and again in 2020, when every candidate other than Biden was made to drop out so Sanders would have to face him one-on-one on Super Tuesday.  Preaching to the choir will not get us to the objective of reforming our elections – using shrewd measurements to paint accurate pictures will.

IX.            America’s Long-term Survival Probably Needed 11/3/2020

File this under hard to swallow pills.  I was devastated in the early morning hours of November 4, 2020, and knew exactly what was going on when Michigan and Wisconsin were called for Biden by the time Americans woke up to go to work.  My research has revealed substantial election manipulation dating back to the 2018 midterms and suggests that even with Paul Ryan leading the Republican House, the GOP should have held that chamber, and expanded to perhaps as many as 61 Senate seats.

Because we didn’t lose President Trump, and because the establishment GOP is filled with mostly empty suits, people wrote it off to Democrat motivation and a continuation of political science, in which the president’s party almost always loses seats in both chambers.  It took President Trump gaining 11 million votes, becoming the first incumbent since Grover Cleveland in 1888 to gain votes and “lose,” for people to see the lunacy of this ragtag system of candidate selection that has been unraveling for decades, dating back to the first attempts to enshrine motor voter and mail-in balloting in the 1990s.  Had Trump come in at 65 million votes, which his own pollster, certainly citing the incumbent gain tidbit shown above, pegged as a goal, it would have been easy to eke out wins in the contested states for Biden and not have glaring piles of votes confined to relatively small precincts that can’t be explained by anything other than a condemnation of electile dysfunction.

Had a useless bureaucrat of a Republican lost office (as many did in 2018), rather than a beloved American icon, few, if any, would have mobilized to make election integrity the civil rights issue of our lifetimes.  Had Trump’s gains been observed and yielded to, affording him a second term, he would have been surrounded by a Democrat supermajority by now and a year into the lame duck portion of his presidency, at minimum, with no apparent candidates ready for prime time to carry on his legacy.  We would face eight years of uniparty rule under a hard-left authoritarian who would work to legalize every form of election manipulation to prevent another Trump, all while we slumbered and didn’t notice, unlike how we notice everything today.  The Trump era would come and go, and we would find ourselves in the mid 2030s on the outside looking in.  Trump gave us what we needed to survive long-term and have a fighting chance to restore America, even though the truth is ugly today.

X.             Election Integrity Will Be Restored, One Day

While we may appear to be consumed by evil and darkness all around us, history tells us that the reign of the wicked always arrives at an eventual end.  We are approaching a terminal percentage of Americans required to significantly alter public opinion and demand change – remember, 30% of Americans will believe what they are told to the bitter end.  Hope for the Republic does not end on November 5^th, 2024, nor does it rest on the laurels of one man.  We must have a plan to extend freedom to all generations to come, not just for the rest of this decade.  If that is our plan, we are no better than those who, in their shortsightedness, led us to the precipice of national collapse.
