That there was no widespread fraud in November 2020 doesn’t mean that
the election was not rigged to keep Donald Trump out of the White House.
The Jan. 6 show trial continues this week in the House, with several
partisan aims remaining in focus, chief among them conditioning the
public to believe the Nov. 3, 2020 election was the most secure in
American history. By limiting their focus to select and disproven claims
of election fraud, the Democrat-stacked House committee provides a
bait-and-switch prime-time presentation designed to convince the country
that Trump lied to his supporters when he declared the election was stolen.
But stealing an election by fraud is not the only way to rig an outcome.
Elections are rigged when systemic violations of election law occur,
disparately favoring one candidate and allowing for tens of thousands of
illegal votes to be counted.
And the election was rigged with every illegal drop box placed in
Democrat-heavy precincts.
The election was rigged when the Pennsylvania legislature
unconstitutionally authorized no-excuse absentee voting and when
Philadelphia clerks illegally inspected ballots and then told Democrat
activists which voters needed to cure their ballots for their votes to
count.
The election was rigged when Wisconsin election officials ignored the
state election code, telling voters they were “indefinitely confined”
because of Covid and that nursing homes could ignore Wisconsin’s
requirement that special voting deputies oversee elections in
residential facilities.
The election was rigged with every dollar of Zuck Bucks designed to get
out the Democrat vote, and with every leftist activist embedded in
county clerks’ offices to push such efforts while accumulating untold
voter data to the benefit of the Biden campaign.
The election was rigged when Georgia rendered the election code’s
mandate of signature verifications inoperable and the state court
delayed a hearing on Trump’s challenge to the Georgia outcome until
after the vote certification, thereby ignoring evidence that more than
35,000 illegal votes were included in the state’s tally — more than
enough to require a court to throw out the election.
All of these things happened during the November 2020 general election
and none of them fall within the category of “fraud,” although they all
make fraud more likely to occur and easier to execute, which is
precisely why such rules exist in the first instance: to limit the risk
of fraud and deter fraud. And, in fact, in the case of Wisconsin, an
investigation by the Senate’s Office of Special Counsel concluded
“rampant fraud and abuse occurred statewide at Wisconsin’s nursing homes
and other residential care facilities.”
Elections can also be rigged when the media — establishment and social —
serves as the state-run outlet for its favored political candidate.
Our Founding Fathers abolished the government’s power to censor the
press so that the press would remain forever free to censure the
government — a protection necessary for the media to fulfill its
essential role in our democratic Republic. But the First Amendment’s
guarantee of a free press means nothing if the press serves not the
governed, but those it prefers to be governed by.
That Big Tech silences its disfavored leaders, or that the press
self-censors to save its preferred candidate, may matter for purposes of
constitutional analysis, but it proves irrelevant to the proper
functioning of our republic, as “[o]nly a free and unrestrained press
can effectively expose deception in government,” and lay “bare the
secrets of government and inform the people.” And that remains true
whether restraint comes from without or within.
So, the election was also rigged when the press refused to bare the
secret that Hunter Biden provided his dad, the “Big Guy,” a 10 percent
kickback from the various millions made in a pay-to-play scandal.
The election was rigged when Twitter blocked the New York Post’s
reporting on the Hunter Biden laptop and the material uncovered from its
hard drive and then when every elite media outlet ignored the story.
The election was rigged when the same legacy and social media outlets
that censored the explosive Joe Biden scandal instead promoted the false
claim that the Post’s reporting was Russian disinformation.
And the election was rigged when the lapdog media outlets pantingly ran
the Russia disinformation cover story to protect Joe Biden, knowing
Attorney General William Barr’s Department of Justice would not leak the
truth, but would instead preserve its independence and remain silent
while the corrupt press lied to the American public.
The Jan. 6 Committee may be correct that there is no evidence of
widespread fraud altering the outcome of the November 2020 election. But
the election was still rigged against Trump six ways to Sunday.
[...]
So yes, the 2020 election was unethically (and probably illegally)
rigged to elect Biden.
Though I cannot support it, I am going to go one step further, I believe
that the DNC knew about Biden's cognitive issues and essentially told
him to stay home and that they would get him elected.
