Impressive article by the CD Media staff in defense of an honest and lawful American election in Georgia of all places.
Cannot anyone state the obvious? Yes everyone a US citizen of age can vote. I learned a lot of what I suspected about Fulton County where I lived for 2 years
Should they? No absolutely not, not eveyone has a basic understanding of what the elections are for, some are illiterate, many ill informed. Elections should not be easy as going to a "Stop & Go or signing a Shop Mart flyer for a lottery prize.
The New Georgia Project or the Coalition for Good Governance, sounds like Maoist comissars.
It is a civic and deeply personal responsibility. The duty to county is to vote one's conscience not what others induce you to do. Without force or coertion although one can acusethe media of it.
They challenged the order of the names on the ballots? The last election had ballots listing the Democratic frontrunners on the top withthe first check box.
"The failure to provide pre-paid postage ballot return envelopes,": Want to know soemthing really sad? Many younger folks do not know what to do with a stamp much less where to purchase one for the envelope.
"“promptly.” What does that mean.
"Laches"is a "lack of diligence and activity in making a legal claim, or moving forward with legal enforcement of a right, particularly in regard to equity."{wiki}
Power should not reside in the hands of the supervisors/boards of election. The "power" should reside in our greivances againt their imposition of partisan favor.
Suggestions:
*Keep at it with the inqireies and requests for hearings with the Boards of Electors, public ones are allways best.
*Mailers to the public axplaining the 'hijacking of our elections, and door to door 'canvasing / registering / educating.
*Neutral election watchers (Countries overseas have offered this service including a few from Africa and Asia.
*A non-partisan election "cleaners" insuring propriety and focus from all parties. Our elections are not secret ballots counted in the middle of the night.
*Banning of 'gifts and money for "the vote". Banning of ellectioneers and bodygaurd type enforcers coming in from other cities.
*Allow a unifromed police presence at the polls to ensure no outside interference on the voters lines. (No campaigning within 50 meters of poll site.
*Absolutely not! No never paper mail in ballots or drop boxes. What do you think this is a gift lottery? Absentee ballots are good as always.
*Same day in-person voting, Voting is something you are passionate about wanting to do, with collection of absentee ballots those that have arrived "promptly" only from 6am to 9pm, then poll closes, no more voting no more excuses. Any ballots coming in after are discarded. Counting up to 1 hour after.
*Poll observers from all parties, unmolested and without assault, untill count is over.
*This is important: retain the pull down levered old fashioned machines, they work great and are not easy to manipulate.
*Paper ballots in the polling center (as an in house back-up) with proper signature and double ID ok>

Brad Carver’s committee with Ga House Affairs put together a list of sound suggestions for restoring election integrity. Getting rid of Dominion was on that list. Yesterday at GOP breakfast meeting in Dekalb County, they spoke to every topic related to election integrity except for dumping Dominion. When we asked about it, he said Dominion isn’t going anywhere. That was an unfortunate response, now we know our vote will never count. I have tried to hang in there with the GOP, but we need to either hijack it or destroy it. There are empty suits. This unapologetic patriot sees no other path than secession. We are too divided to ever unite again. The communists and patriots should just plot the country in half among themselves and call it a day.

Until you have moral and honest people conducting every position in the election administration, at the polls, through the conduit to the state election office, you cannot have an honest election. Not with the people who are currently doing it. They were positioned and groomed to do the bidding of the Dem party. It's not like they have a tattoo that says so, you know.

The election laws are obviously only considered or followed by moral people.

We do have options. Demand letter to force BoEofficials to provide unscannable paper ballots- the hand marked- hand tabulated kind.

What they need to do is put some BITE into the laws. Insert stiff penalties for violating the law. Don't just write the law but make it a crime to violate the law. Right now who has been punished for breaking the law? Nobody!!!!

If they won't uphold and enforce current law, what difference will changing the law do? Our government has become lawless: the law is only for us governed, not for the governing class. They may pass all kinds of laws in a grand show of "doing something", laws guaranteed to enforce stricter controls on us while being blatantly ignored by them.

They need to harden the vote machines and disable any features that were designed to facilitate fraud, or better yet, get rid of them altogether. They also need to fire all of the corrupt election supervisors and any corrupt employees. Like Brenda Snipes in Florida.

This excellent article tells you the "why" and the "what" but doesn't explain the "how" necessary to fix the present situation. The sad truth is that fascists are now in control of our election apparati in much of the United States -- enough to fix the results to their liking in many of the states and the entire federal level. Debate, discussion and political process are now obsolete in this country, at least as far as affecting policy and leadership -- they are irrelevant because choosing outcomes will never again be options for the general population. The fascists have worked systematically for many decades to reach this point. Do you really think they are just going to roll over and surrender their hard-fought gains now that they're finally achieving their goal? In fact, we are now entering a phase of even stricter oppression as they consolidate and crystallize their power to make their dominance absolute and irrevocable. I swear to you that I am not advocating violence here. But I cannot lie about where we now find ourselves. What I am saying is that it is my opinion that things have reached the point where good old traditional constitutional representative government can only be re-established in these United States by physical expulsion of the fascists that have stolen it. The choice for the people is either a constitutional republic or the fascist oligarchy now in power.
