Getting Elected Shouldn't Be The Main Focus For The GOP......stopping election fraud should!By Ric Wasley April 11, 2022It does no good to concentrate on winning votes if the other side can simply back-fill whatever number they need in the dark of night. So before the first ballot is cast this fall the GOP needs to be concentrating all of its efforts on preventing a replay of the 2020 election debacle. It has always been a time-honored trait of Dems in their cities to engage in election eve shenanigans, but 2020 surpassed the traditional “wink and a nod” minor chicanery of having the dead vote “early and often,” and went straight into manipulation on a nationwide industrial scale. And although 18 months later hundreds of examples that verify this have been uncovered, it is all rather moot and that of course is what Democrats count on. Thus, like all crooks who get away with it, they see no reason not to do it again. And again, and again… That is why Republicans need to wake up now! Before the first rally is held or campaign speech is given, realize that until they can ensure free and fair elections everything else is pointless. Just ask the citizens of Russia, or China, Cuba, or Venezuela how much their vote counts when the corrupt party in power counts the votes. And most voters know it as well. That’s why unless Republicans can show America that the system of one legally registered voter = one vote, still works, they may find that Americans become so disillusioned that they stop going to the polls. Which of course, is precisely what the Democrats want. Democrats understand all too well that if elections were limited to legally registered US citizens they would likely never win a national election again. This is why they spend the majority of their time working so hard to prevent that. Conversely, that is why Americans must insist that Republicans at least match the Democrat effort to subvert elections, with laws and measures to ensure that they are limited to one legally registered citizen (preferably still living and cognizant) who is allowed to cast only one ballot. (I know - shocking concept isn’t it?) Make no mistake about it. Having been so successful in suspending voter integrity in 2020, and facing a well-deserved drubbing in the polls in November, the DNC will be moving heaven (although they don’t like that term) and earth, to subvert election laws further still. Therefore instead of getting the vapors and clutching their pearls Republicans should be starting yesterday to fight the DNC-run courts and media by taking election integrity to the people - and asking if they really like the idea of knowing that their vote may be nullified by dozens, or hundreds, or perhaps even thousands of fraudulent ones. Statistics show that they don’t. In fact, almost all Americans want their legal vote to count. That’s why they overwhelmingly support voter ID. "Proponents of enhanced ID requirements say that, without new standards, voters will lose confidence in the electoral system. They cite numerous polls showing that more than 80 percent of Americans support requiring a government-issued photo ID. And the ‘majority support among all groups’ of nearly all political persuasions.” (1) That statistic gives the lie to the DNC media talking point that voter ID laws are “racist” and “Jim Crow.” The Dems should really know better about what the Jim Crow laws were all about, since it was they who came up with them in the first place! And yes, there are many Republican groups at the grassroots level that are working hard to get their states and counties to adopt voter ID laws. But that’s not enough. What is needed is for the Republican elite to stop putting their own re-elections first and concentrate instead on ensuring that all Americans can feel secure in the knowledge that their legal vote will be protected, counted, and certified along with millions of others of their fellow legally registered and verified citizens. Because that is the most important election issue of them all.
