To describe what is going on with this election as hanky-panky is to diminish what appears as the first verifiable assault on the seminal institution that we use to maintain our democratic republic – the right and practice of franchised citizens to regularly impact the governance of their country.
Evidence is pouring in from all quarters about voter fraud, evidence that has been filed by poll workers, poll watchers, and witnesses who have provided sworn affidavits and statements – punishable as perjury if falsified – of a wide spectrum of illegal and criminal activities taking place at polling places and vote counting centers. Enough of this has been happening to cause the DoJ to order all US attorneys across the land to begin investigating these allegations.
Last night on FN Tucker Carlson went through a litany of some of the evidence that the US attorneys will be looking at (here). (Odd that FN has pulled this commentary from its site.) You don’t have to be a fan of Carlson to note the factual content of his commentary, confirm it yourself, and compare it with what you’ve seen on the lamestream. An important part of the data that is now a matter of record is the history of grossly inaccurate polling results with which the country has been blanketed in the weeks leading up to the election.
It turns out that the polls across the board were grossly wrong in favor of Joe Biden. The more important impact of such erroneous polling was how they influenced the vote. University of Michigan (here) and McGill University (here) have done studies of this which delineate how polls favoring this or lambasting that affect voter attitudes. In America our polls were off, sometimes hundreds of percents and of opposite polarity, for electoral contests ranging from the president to the states’ down-ticket candidates and issues. And for some odd reason, they were overwhelmingly in error toward the Left. This was similar to the late-discovered ballots and mail-ins arriving at vote counting centers that defied voting demographics, voting history, and elementary statistics in their one-sidedness (more here and here). And we haven’t yet come to the vote changing software (here) that people have alleged was used (and exposed unintentionally on CNN (here) where Trump’s vote count goes down the precise amount that Biden’s went up before the cutaway from the scene).
All the Dems and lamestream outlets are ostracizing the closer examination of this election's fraud, claiming that, no matter if true, none of what has been reported is enough to change the election's outcome. That in itself may well be false because the actual validations and recounts have not been completed. But the logic of the admonition itself is grossly faulty, for it assumes that all the fraud discovered to date is all that there is. Nothing could be further from the truth. (For the technically inclined, consider the individual allegations as a sequence of events in a minimally known process. Then compute the probability that the process ended with its most recent event. To help you do this Download TN2011-1_DiscreteEventR-Gprobs )
The greater impact of this on our institutions and ultimately on Americans’ trust in their country’s electoral processes is summarized by Victor Davis Hanson (here). The bottom line is that we are done as a liberal democracy once the people no longer believe in elections or that their legal votes matter.
[11nov20 update] There is now a chorus of commentators on various media outlets (yes, even some liberal ones) who correctly opine about completing the investigations of the numerous reported election irregularities and alleged voter fraud around the country. What our Left predictably pooh-poohs as rightwing sour grapes, and tells to “suck it up” and get on with it will not work in the country’s longer-term polity. We have lost faith in the election process as it now stands. There are at least half of us in America who want the reported incidents of malfeasance resolved, one way or the other, before trust is restored in our elections. A democratic republic cannot continue to function under liberal governance once its elections are seen by a major fraction of its citizenry as corrupt and corruptible. The natural progression of such a state of affairs is to a strong-arm autocracy.
The truth of the matter, not considered by today’s light thinkers, is that the Left will be equally put out again when they lose another major election. I say ‘again’ because they were maximally put out for years after Hillary lost in 2016, and showed the country how they could disrupt, not only the duly elected administration, but also the rest of the federal government. These progressives and their militant radicals not only rejected the legitimacy of the election, they also rejected the findings of the many subsequently launched investigations that failed to find their claimed faults – and they hold these beliefs to this day. For them, the Republicans remain guilty as alleged.
So yes, we have to let Team Trump and the other involved federal and state level investigative agencies complete the process to either sanitize the recent election, or declare that it was not soiled in the first place. At that time we’ll all have to suck it up, bid good-bye to Donald Trump, and accept Joe Biden as our new fearless leader (while continuing to keep a gimlet eye on the sumbich until his influence peddling family affairs are resolved AND he renounces the emerging communist wing of the Democratic Party).
[15nov20 update] Now we have a fairly complete recounting of the provenance of Hammer/Scorecard and how it came to be applied to the current election. The testimony is "according to whistleblower Dennis Montgomery, who was granted immunity by the DoJ and the FBI for exposing illegal US domestic surveillance." (H/T to reader and more here)
