Salvaging the 2020 Election

September 9, 2020 By Jon N. Hall

The November election is shaping up to be a repeat of the one in 2000 when recounts of the presidential vote tally dragged on for five weeks. There’s even a new website called “The Recount.” But it’s not a recount that Americans are being conditioned to accept as normal, this time it’s the initial count. It’s the initial vote count that Democrats want to drag on and on; perhaps past the Electoral College deadline in December and even past Inauguration Day in 2021. And if the initial counting drags on for long enough, there won’t be time for any recounts. That’s because just like the proverbial show, the government must go on. And you can take this to the bank: if the counting produces a Biden win, Democrats will declare victory and attempt to stop the counting cold.

On August 24, The Recount ran a 2:27 minute video of Hillary Clinton urging that “Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances.” (Just after she says that, Democrat strategist Jennifer Palmieri raises her arms in triumph.) Clinton then says that the vote counting will “drag out.” Republican vote counters, poll workers, and lawyers should adopt Clinton’s tactics and iron will.

Democrats are preparing voters to expect a Trump landslide on the night of the election which will be undone when mail-in ballots are counted. On September 1, Fast Company explained the “red mirage”:...........Democrats are willing to bring America “to the brink of civil war” to fill and satisfy that gnawing hole in their lives: their need to rule. Coglianese asserts that the only way to “prevent chaos” and give confidence to Americans “is by reopening every available polling place in America” and that “Congress should act swiftly to compel the nation’s governors to open the polls to in-person voting.”...............To Read More....
