Trump's "Embrace" of Mail-In Voting and Ballot Harvesting is No "Endorsement"

Topic: Elections

A recent e-mail to supporters suggests President Trump is preparing to “endorse” mail-in balloting and ballot harvesting, where legal, for the 2024 Presidential campaign. 

The radical Democrats have used ballot harvesting to cancel out your vote and walk away with elections that they never should have won. But I’m doing something huge to fight back.  Our presidential campaign will launch our own Ballot Harvesting Fund in the states where the Left has been cheating the system. Please make a contribution to our brand new Ballot Harvesting Fund to harvest ballots in the states where we can, and beat the Democrats at their own game – for 1,500% impact.

In the election integrity world, there are generally two schools of thought about how to proceed after three consecutive fraudulent federal elections.  One, the most ideologically rigid, is to rip out all election cheats and shortcuts, to include ballot harvesting and no-excuse mail-in voting, root and branch.  The second is to try and beat the Democrats at their own game.  I’ve heard support for the latter from the likes of Charlie Kirk, Scott Presler, and other conservative personalities who acknowledge massive Democrat cheating, but think we can get an edge on them if we learn to excel at their own tactics.

I consider the scenario like one you may find at a casino.  The casino creates the games and the rules.  They do so knowing, over time, that they will win massively because odds over the long-run will always deliver in their favor thanks to the binding laws of mathematics and statistics.  In the short run, however, individual players can win big, and if they are smart, get the hell out.  Stay too long, and you will most certainly lose it all, and then some.  If you don’t believe me, look at the casinos themselves.  They didn’t build them to give away money, and they don’t stay in business because of luck.

If the casino gets clobbered for too long, it will either remove the game in favor of games with better house odds, or it will alter the rules ever so slightly, just like we see with corners being cut in elections.  Your blackjack that used to pay 3 to 2 now only pays 6 to 5, or that same blackjack no longer bringing an automatic payout, are little changes that scoot the odds slightly in favor of the house.  Your best bet for winning is to get in, catch some luck, and get out as soon as the wind changes direction.

Donald Trump snuck into Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin 2016 and got out before the casino boss showed up with his henchmen to tie him into a basement chair, break his ribs, and take back the 46 electoral votes he snatched up to win the election against the chosen ruler, Hillary Clinton.  He had to go back into those casinos in 2020 and snatch the electoral votes again, but this time, they spotted him on camera, changed dealers, stacked the deck, and declared victory while they whisked him away.

You can beat the Democrats at their own game exactly ONE TIME before they rig the deck against you.  That one time was in 2016.

Through sophisticated technology, accurate data, deliberately filthy dirty rolls, mail-in balloting, and early voting, completed by the secret sauce of amping up mail-in election turnout, ballot harvesting, Democrats have given themselves a much larger edge than they had before.  The Trump surge of 2016 showed the Democrats, even in defeat, where they needed to fortify because they understand the same things I teach, such as voter registration and electoral trends for forecasting election results.

Everyone knows ballot harvesting is a loophole and shortcut used to pad results and legalize fraud. The Committee on House Administration authored a report on ballot harvesting, which included this description:

Ballot harvesting is the practice in which political operatives collect absentee ballots from voters' homes and drop them off at a polling place or election office. It may sound pretty innocuous, but this practice can and has been abused across the country. We saw this play out in the 2018 midterm elections in North Carolina's 9^th Congressional District when a political operative abused the process of harvesting ballots, which resulted in the North Carolina State Board of Elections to call for reelection.

Why is President Trump “endorsing” a mail-in voting campaign and organized ballot harvesting?  The answer is simple:

The Republican Party didn’t do a damn thing between November 4, 2020, and the date of this writing to reign this abuse in, except for in a few places, like Florida, where ballot harvesting was turned into a felony.  President Trump is familiar with my Ten Points to True Election Integrity, and his repeated swipes at mail-in voting, machines, and ballot harvesting can be found with a few keystrokes in great abundance.

Patriots in states that vote almost exclusively by mail, such as Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Utah, California, or Hawaii, have no other way in which to cast a vote than to mail it in.  In states like Nevada, with its legal ballot harvesting, there is no way to win the electoral votes than to use legal means to overcome the Democrat vote, which would be dead on arrival without ballot harvesting.  Then you might be able to get your one win with it before the rules change yet again, and metro areas are extended an even greater advantage with which they can blot out the votes of their more geographically dispersed opposition. Simply put, if we want to win Nevada’s six electoral votes in 2024, there is no choice but to ballot harvest.

I laid out these fundamental issues in Matt DePerno’s recent election integrity related release in his pursuit of the Michigan GOP Chairmanship, found here.  In DePerno’s release, I outline the geographic advantage enjoyed by Democrats thanks to their voting base being located in population-dense areas.  A team of ballot harvesters in the Detroit projects may harvest 1,000 ballots and will likely find at least 850 Democrat ballots even on a bad day.  A team of Republicans harvesting ballots in the suburbs may be fortunate to have them break 55-45 in their favor, given that Republican voters are more likely to show up and vote and are also spread much further out than are their Democrat rivals.

When DePerno and I discussed this issue, and the division present in the two schools of thought regarding how to proceed in a world of fraudulent elections, we agreed that these practices must be undertaken by our side for the present moment, given that they are legal and used by our enemies, but that they mustimmediately be ripped out in totality as soon as committed patriots control the levers of power in a given state.

There is a saying across the Rio Grande that goes, “show me a 40-foot wall, and I’ll show you a 41-foot ladder.”  It can be accurately amended to read, “show me 250,000 harvested ballots, and I’ll show you 260,000 more in seven days.”

That’s right.  Democrats and other election manipulators control time.  I am confident that Maricopa County has the means to count all ballots just as fast as they can be counted in Florida and Texas, but their messaging is that they need a week or more to count them, even after the disastrous 2020 election that humiliated the county.  They simply scan all the ballots, find out how many the fraud victim has, and produce slightly more for the designated office holder, and ensure they message the progress to the public incrementally.

The Taliban once held the stated position of “you have the watches, we have the time.”  You referred to the coalition forces waging war in the Graveyard of Empires, and we referred to the Taliban fighting on their home field, with nowhere else to go, and no political pressure hastening the fight. 

We have the demand and urgent need to solve election fraud.  They have the time to perpetuate it, because they can see their opponent’s poker hand and maneuver around it, no matter how good it is.  Even so, I understand and tacitly back his gameplan as outlined in DePerno’s memo, simply because the Republican Party left no other options with their general inaction about the election integrity crisis.

Imagine you’ve landed on Normandy Beach and are tasked to knock out an artillery park, as Lieutenant Winters was tasked to do on D-Day.  You know you need a sufficient infantry accompaniment, rifles, machine guns, grenades, and smoke grenades, but are only given the choice to go in with your M-1 Garands, or with no weapons at all.

You have no choice but to fight with the equipment and tactics available, so you sling your rifle and step off on the mission.

It is for this reason, and this reason alone, that I back the plan to organize mail-in voting and ballot harvesting operations.  Those practices must be abolished at the first opportunity, and President Trump fully understands that as he is left with little other choice to issue this directive.
