They may have just let the cat out of the bag. The Democrats have spent the best part of two years slandering anyone with enough backbone to challenge the result of the 2020 election, calling them 'deniers' and labeling it 'The Big Lie', all of which being par for the course for Leftists who have questioned every Republican presidential victory since 2000, usually on grounds so transparently inadequate as to be risible. Clearly, shutting down debate about an election that was stolen was in their self interest. However, they have gone further in claiming that all elections are secure, including the mid-terms tomorrow. In fact, the Democrats have made such an issue of the sanctity of the election process that they seem to have limited their options somewhat if they don't get the result that they desire. There is a way around that, of course.
It has been obvious for at least twelve months that the Biden gang were going to get a toweling in the mid-terms. Not because the polling told us so, necessarily, although the numbers of citizens who believe that the country is going in the wrong direction is instructive,(1) but because the administration's stated aims do not align with anyone's interests (other than the elites) and because even an average mid-term election usually trims around 30 House seats and 4 Senate seats from the ranks of the incumbent President's party. This outcome would mean that the Democrats lose control of both houses of Congress; Biden would either have to be truly bipartisan to get legislation through Congress (which isn't going to happen), or continue to rule by executive fiat.
But, having placed so much emphasis on the probity of the election, they would then be obliged to accept the results. Given that this would amount to a vote of no confidence in the Democrat agenda and remove their mandate to press on with radical policies such as the Green New Deal and so forth, this would be deeply unwelcome; not terminal, because what the voters think doesn't truly concern them, but humiliating. Temperamentally, they are unsuited to defeat. Plus, of course, the ends always justifies the means. And last week there were a couple of hints, just the merest suggestion that matters may not proceed in the expected manner. One was from Biden himself and one from his Chief of Staff.
Firstly, in a speech at Union Station, he once again revisited his 'ultra MAGA theme' and went all-in on condemning this group's non-existent political violence. Non-existent so far, that is.
“This institution, this intimidation, this violence against Democrats, Republicans, and nonpartisan officials just doing their jobs, are the consequence of lies told for power and profit. Lies of conspiracy and malice, lies repeated over and over to generate a cycle of anger, hate, vitriol and even violence. In this moment, we have to confront those lies with the truth. The very future of our nation depends on it.”(2)
There was much more in a similar vein. Notwithstanding the usual hyperbole and the fact that nearly every single assertion was a lie, the focus on violence was troubling. It's almost as though he's hinting at what's coming, either because he knows that what he is about to do will inevitably provoke it, or because a false flag operation is on the horizon. Given the Justice Department's abject failure in making good on all the rhetoric about right wing domestic terrorists, I suspect the latter. He also said the following:
“We know that many states don’t start counting those ballots until after the polls close on November 8th. That means in some cases we won’t know the winner of the election for a few days – until a few days after the election. It takes time to count all legitimate ballots in a legal and orderly manner. It’s always been important for citizens in the democracy to be informed and engaged. Now it’s important for a citizen to be patient as well. That’s how this is supposed to work.”(3)
It's not at all how it's supposed to work and it's not how it worked previously. It's only that way when it's a close call and a Republican is ahead (Bush-Gore 2000) or, when it's not so close (Trump-Biden 2020) and a Republican is ahead. Last time around it took the better part of a week in some states; the inference being that it took that long to manufacture enough fraudulent ballots to take Biden over the top. Other countries have no difficulty in declaring a winner on the night, just hours after the polls close.
In 2008, Obama beat McCain and only two states were uncalled by midnight on the night polls closed. In 2012, when Obama beat Romney, only three states were similarly unaccounted for on the night. Even in 2016, when Trump beat Hillary, the result was known during the night. By contrast, in 2020, at least seven states were late, some by days and all of them were battleground states. Trump was well ahead in five of them on election night (Pennsylvania by 56-43) and only won North Carolina.(4) Of the seven states with margins of less than 3%, Biden won six of them.(5) All were late reporting, some stopped counting several nights running, some had big late night ballot drops overwhelmingly favoring Biden.
Biden's speech informs us that we can expect more of the same, which is not indicative of the Democrats accepting their electoral fate, but rather a not very subtle tell that they won't. Shortly thereafter, Ron Klain went on television to reinforce, one last time, that the election results must be believed, period.(6) It doesn't seem to matter whether they make sense, or whether the results are, in fact, outrageously, brazenly fraudulent. The greater sin would be to point it out.
Given the political outlook, which cannot be disguised by the usual raft of polls that function more obviously as a psyop that anything else, one might think that the White House would be well-advised to keep their powder dry and leave as many avenues open as possible. But, no. Even before the election is conducted, they are insisting that the results must stand.
Why would they do this? Theoretically, they cannot possibly know that everything will be on the level ahead of time, can they? That assertion can only be made retrospectively. And, if we are to believe their rhetoric about 'threats to democracy', isn't there at least a possibility that 'ultra MAGA' will intervene in some way? Apparently not.
The message is that there will nothing to see here, so there's going to be no point looking. I can think of one very good reason for making this claim, (especially as the election process is riddled with exploitable holes) and, as usual, it's the exact opposite of what they are saying. They are going for a reprise of 2020 and they are looking to spike the opposition's guns and discredit any 'election deniers' before the fact.
We need to look no further than last week's election in Brazil to see a reflection of the last US election. The incumbent (Bolsonaro, the only right wing president in South America) was allegedly narrowly defeated in the presidential election – by less than 2% - despite the fact that his coalition was triumphant down ballot. In the Chamber of Deputies (the equivalent of the lower house of Congress), they bolstered their numbers from 100 to 178 and they gained 7 of the 27 seats that were being contested in the Senate, to add to those they already had possession of.(7) The opposition lost seats in both. It wasn't even close and yet the presidential election, over two rounds, went the other way. Indeed, the Communist opposition leader became the first candidate to garner more votes that an incumbent president in the first round.
How is it that these anomalies occur? Well, down ballot success which is undeserved would require cheating in every precinct in House elections, because each individual race would need to be influenced in a way that reflected the numbers being manufactured at the top of the ballot and this is a very difficult mission; there are hundreds of precincts. The fraud in the presidential election is, by contrast, enacted in the big cities where the most votes are and where the malfeasance can be more easily disguised.
In Brazil, the rate of invalid or allegedly blank ballots was 4.58% - the margin of victory was only 1.8%. In the big cities, that rate was anywhere up to 6.4%.(8) In the rural communities, it was typically less than 1%. Perhaps that was all that was required to flip the race, although it's likely that ballot stuffing or manipulation of the voting machines was also necessary. Brazil uses Dominion machines, as does the US. These are the machines that, according to the testimony of a cyber-security expert, the US intelligence community can access to influence foreign elections.(8) Where there's a will, there's a way; usually via a router.
Bolsonaro was complaining about crooked elections for his entire term in office. Even though he won in 2018, he felt there had been fraud. The 2022 election did nothing to disabuse him of that notion. Once again, a familiar pattern emerged. Despite the polls having him down 57-43 in late September, he was leading in early voting, only to be consistently reeled in by every subsequent vote dump. Statistically, Benfield's Law got yet another kicking.(9)
Other factors are also suggestive of intent. The Brazilian judiciary and police service had been meddling in the election for months; journalists who found themselves unable to toe the party line were arrested, as was a member of Congress – twice.(10) 'Misinformation' was ruthlessly suppressed on social media. Sounds familiar? Bolsonaro is known as the Trump of the Tropics; he was also far from being a true believer in the climate scam. Both of these crimes explain why he needed to be deposed.
The American connection extends beyond their alleged ability to directly interfere with voting machines from distance. The head of the CIA paid Bolsonara a visit, explicitly warning him to accept the (at that point, some time distant) election results, which was probably all the notice the president needed. Other US State Department officials also trooped down to Brasilia, all with the familiar, perverse exhortation that we, too, are being bombarded with; democracy demands that you allow an assault on democracy.(11) When the result was announced, Biden was one of the first to congratulate Bolsonaro's opponent. It was a little surprising to find that he waited until after the election to do so.
The entire continent of South America is now governed by Leftists after seven successive election triumphs in the past four years – Mexico (2018), Argentina (2019), Bolivia (2020), Peru (2021), Chile, Columbia and Brazil in 2022. If Bolsonaro doesn't find a way of investigating what went on before he leaves office. He hasn't conceded and there are avenues available to him, even if his allies are doing their level best to close them off.(12) The Americans will be apoplectic if he does. Organizing coups in South or Central America are meat and drink to them.
But what does this mean for the mid-terms in the US? The presidential election system is different from the Brazilian methodology, inasmuch as it's not simply a popular vote – there is an Electoral College and it is not uncommon for the loser to poll more votes overall. However, this time around there is no presidential election, so the process mirrors the down-ballot process we just witnessed in Brazil.
This means that, instead of large amounts of fraud specific cities in specific states, any attempt to put a collective thumb on the scale (for House elections) will need to be far more dispersed. Plus, of course, big urban areas have tended to vote Democrat anyway, so the vast ballot harvesting operations in states like Michigan and Wisconsin are more likely to facilitate the holding of safe-ish House and Senate seats – assuming that any are, this time around. I shall detail a few races worth monitoring and then finish up with a list of events that, if featured, are strongly indicative of a fix.
All the House seats are up for grabs, as well as 35 of the Senate seats. Senate elections are more in line with presidential voting protocols, as senators, of whom there are two per state, are voted upon by the entire state's voters. Any big city fraud will still directly benefit the relevant senator. The Republicans need just 6 House seats and 1 Senate seat to enjoy a majority in both chambers. There are also some notable governorships up for grabs.
Depending on who you believe, there are between four and ten competitive Senate races. If we go with the middle ground, the seven Senate races in which the GOP has the biggest opportunity to add to their numbers are in Washington, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Nevada, New Hampshire, Georgia and Arizona. Even the left leaning polls (last time around, the average was 2% erroneously in favor of Biden's final tally) have Republicans ahead in three, tied in two and within the margin of error for the other two.(13)
If the red wave, she is a-coming, then all seven of those might fall to the GOP. However, four of them are in battleground states which were late reporting in 2020, with big city Democrat harvesting operations. You might think that perhaps a pick-up of three or four seats was therefore feasible. However, there are at least three Republican senators who frequently vote with the Democrats (Romney, Murkowski and Collins), so a minimum of four would be favorite. This will be the most interesting House to follow, as it's easier to fix with ballots being counted well after election day. Early voting data favors Republicans.(14)
In House races, most polling organisations have the Republicans gaining between 10 and 42 seats; in other words, a majority. And, as mentioned, these elections – due to the smaller districts and the rural nature of some of them – are more difficult to steal on the ground.(15) This does not preclude the possibility of electronic dabbling, combined with a willful refusal to subsequently audit. I would posit that all things are possible, at this juncture, due to the language used by the White House. If questioning any election, no matter how absurd the result, is now beyond the pale, then the odds of cheating outrageously and getting away with it just sky rocketed.
There are also several gubernatorial races that the Democrats will be keen to win, simply because the candidates (whether Republican or Democrat) have become bellwethers of political popularity. In particular, Kari Lake in Arizona is an unashamed MAGA candidate; allowing her to triumph would be an own goal. Likewise, the witches in charge in Michigan and New York are lock-down Nazis who are heavily associated with the progressive movement. Both are imperiled, but both are also the beneficiaries of the big city machines. It would not surprise me if all three went against the Republicans.
Now to the likely trends and things to watch out for. It appears, from early voting, that turnout is going to be large. Consider, for moment, why that might be. Is it going to be Biden supporters, at least a half of whom must believe that the country is going to the dogs according to the polls, but are still keen to hoist themselves with their own petard? Or, is it likely to be Republicans (and some Democrats) desperate to neuter Biden and his crew for the next two years, at which time they can vote in somebody who isn't trying to destroy their country? This isn't 2020, when the progressives could peddle the line that turnout was so high because Trump was such a polarizing individual that vast swathes of the country were intent on removing him from office – despite the fact that he increased his vote by nearly 10 million. The progressive voter, perhaps 10-15% of the population, can certainly be counted upon to compound their obvious stupidity with yet one more error. Not so everyone else. Buyer's remorse is rampant.
Nonetheless, voting numbers are unlikely to top 60%; certainly not 100%, which is a phenomenon that occurred in some precincts two years ago in the 'most secure election in history'. It's the mid-terms, after all. Since the 1950s, turnout at mid-term elections has hovered around 40%, only spiking upwards in 2018 (possibly Phase 1 of the plan to nobble Trump) and even then it was still only 50%.(16) A Democrat win combined with high turnout would spit in the face of reason.
As previously mentioned, delayed counts (including overnight shut-downs) are another warning sign. The excuse given is that, now that mail-in ballots form such a large chunk of the voting record (69% in 2020) and since most states don't start counting them until election day, delays are now inevitable. However, it's only been inevitable in battleground states so far, which gives the lie to that reasoning. However, delays are necessary if extra votes need to be manufactured (and these will likely be dropped overnight), so if they are going to go that route, delays are what we'll see, because there's very little point in committing to cheating and then not cheating enough to actually win.
Another tell-tell sign is the early Republican lead which is steadily eroded, ballot drop by ballot drop, all of which favor the Democrat – often by the exact same proportions, resulting in a very close race which is inevitably won by the Leftist. The margin will typically be less than 2%. This won't be done everywhere, but in just enough places to make a difference.
For instance, in 2020 Biden underperformed Hillary's 2016 numbers in every urban county yet outperformed her in every metropolitan area in the swing states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Georgia.(17) That's targeted fraud; those four states were the key to Biden's 'victory'. There will also be total swapping, the practice where votes will be swapped on the ticker tape on live TV and we will then be told that we didn't see nothing. It was just a technical glitch.
Because scrutiny of this election will be much greater, more anomalies will be noted. Already, blatant cheating has been verified. In Wisconsin, fraudulent military ballots are in the spotlight.(18) In Indiana, a Democrat poll worker was ejected from a polling station for telling people who to vote for.(19) I would expect Republicans to pay more attention to the votes that are allegedly cast by people who have moved out of state. In Georgia, last time around, this amounted to 138,221 people. Biden 'won' the state by 12,570.(20) I'd also expect the GOP to be on top of uncounted Republican ballots. In Pennsylvania, 2020, there were 160,000 of them.(21) Biden 'won' the state by 81,660.(22)
If the fix is in, there will also be all the usual polling day nonsense. There will be malfunctioning voting machines, power outages disrupting voting (already happening),(23) problems casting votes in Republican areas due to staff shortages or similar, people being given the wrong pen which spoils the ballot by bleeding through, people being told that they've already voted when they turn up in person, Republican poll watchers being hassled and excluded and egregious drop box ballot harvesting. In other words, all the things that happened last time and haven't been prevented from happening again.
If all these separate irregularities are occurring, there will be a reason; to steal another election. In that case, the question is – how much work is that going to require? Is the 'red wave' so big that it cannot be resisted? Or is there nothing that cannot be resisted with enough time, paper, ink and phony voter rolls? Are they going to go for it no matter how obvious it is? I think it's possible, likely even. Biden and co are still confidently predicting that they'll hold both Houses. The regime has made questioning the mid-terms akin to a treasonous offence which undermines democracy. Plus, of course, they've done it at least once before and (purely on the basis of the suspicions around turnout), probably in 2018 as well. They've got form. And they really don't want to give us any respite. They need to go full steam ahead.
And, what's the downside? They provoke genuine protests by 'ultra MAGA extremist election deniers'? How is that a downside for them? They get to break heads and still don't have to face any consequences. Or, if that scenario is not forthcoming, they use federal agents and informants to gull the unwary into another false flag operation of the January 6th type? Like I said, they've got form. If I had to guess, I'd say they are going to cheat.
They have the machinery, they've set it up in public with the demonisation of Trump supporters, they've normalized a narrative which doesn't exist, in reality. Why would they have gone to the trouble, otherwise? The alternative might, conceivably, be even worse. What if the Republicans are so house-trained that Biden knows that he can still wreck the country with impunity while the GOP sits on its hands?
