As I write this, six days after the mid-terms, there are still twenty House seats and a governorship up for grabs. Not only that, but the Senate (supposed to break for the Republicans), did nothing of the sort and will remain in Democrat hands. Of seven possible toss-ups, only one went the way of the GOP. Of the 34 alleged toss-ups in the House, thirty three of them have gone to the Democrats. They've picked up a handful of governorships. The 'red wave' was a mirage. And, even though we cannot technically be certain yet, I'm willing to bet that they'll get the fourteen seats they need to hold the House.
All this despite the fact that the Republicans accumulated six million more votes than the Democrats nationwide. For reference, in the 2010 mid-terms conservatives were up two and a half million votes, which was enough to capture an extra sixty three seats.(1) This time, they'll be lucky to win four. All this despite opinion polls showing that over 80% of the electorate – Republican and Democrat alike – are not happy with the direction the country is taking.(2) Also despite exit polls showing that nearly all of the above were still unhappy when leaving the voting booth (73%).(3)
Very little makes sense. In the Arizona gubernatorial election, despite the news that only 17% of Democrat voters actually turned out on election day, those ballots are currently being recorded as 50%+ Democrat. Record inflation, a non-existent southern border, an energy crisis which, in turn, has birthed a food crisis, 60% of Americans living pay-check to pay-check, but they evidently want more of the same?
Familiar 'failings' were in evidence. Tabulation machines that worked the night before then decided to reject every ballot come election morning.(4) Those ballots (in largely Republican precincts) were then lumped in with ballots that had already been counted – by mistake, of course.(5) This, incidentally, in Arizona again, where the Democrat candidate for Governor is the one in charge of the election process as Secretary of State.
A town of less than 700 residents in New Hampshire somehow managed to vote over 1300 times, 1106 of those going to the Democrat.(6) Republican voters who appeared in person were told that they had already voted, as predicted.(7) The sharpie gag was pulled again in Illinois – voters being told to use pens that spoil their ballots.(8)
There are currently two New York House races outstanding. In NY18, the Democrat leads the Republican by 131,460 to 129,379 with 95% of the vote counted. The press has called that race a blue victory. In NY22, where the Republican leads by twice that number with even more of the count completed (97%), there has been no similar presumption of victory. Indeed, in Colorado the contest has been in a deep freeze since Friday, with no extra counting, even though 98.87% of the ballots have been counted. This is almost certainly because the Republican is in a narrow lead and because she is an unashamed America First candidate. This race hasn't been called, either.
There are counties in Florida with similar voting numbers which completed their elections last Tuesday evening, but Colorado, New York, California, Arizona and Oregon still have outstanding races. It may not surprise you to learn that nearly all of them are tight. By rights, CA45 and CA27 should be nailed on with only around 30% of the ballots outstanding and seven and eleven point leads; on the other hand, this is still California, so you never know. Otherwise, it's déjà vu all over again. Across the nation, tight races are overwhelmingly going the Democrats way. I counted thirty nine of them, with perhaps five or six going the other way. Of the twenty seats still in play, the Leftists are well ahead in four and either slightly up or slightly down in thirteen; they need fourteen to win the Lower House, which will ensure that it's business as usual for the next two years.
It doesn't take the brains of an archbishop to work out what has happened and what will still happen. There are some control scenarios to compare the likes of Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and many others to. Florida, Wisconsin and Guam are three such – Florida because the state has tightened election law considerably, making fraud more difficult; Wisconsin because a group of dedicated volunteers put in the hard yards and forced the state to (partially) clean up its voters rolls and Guam because they are reliably Democrat. Republicans won in all three jurisdictions and DeSantis, the governor in Florida, beat his rival by 19%. There's a little more to that race, which I'll return to. The point is that, in some elections, there was a 'red wave'.(9) And there's still the small matter of six million extra votes. So, what happened?
What happened was what happened in 2018 and 2020, too. The election will be stolen once again, mostly by one particular method which is supplemented with other strategies if the votes created are not sufficient. Here's how it works. The key factor to hold on to is that it's not voters that count – it's ballots of the mail-in variety that matter most. They are generated by the states from their voter rolls. The voter rolls are boosted by any number of processes; a driving license application, registering for state benefits, for college, for a grant, for unemployment or getting married, changing name or address. It doesn't matter what affiliation a voter may have – all that matters is that a ballot can sent to an address. There is no requirement for that person to be an actual, genuine voter. Illegal immigrants can receive driving licenses and federal funds in some states. Voter ID is frequently not required either. The Democrat operatives take it from there with their 'ballot submission assistance' programmes or ballot harvesting, to you and I.
The rolls aren't accurate. People move and some were never where they said they were to begin with. There are about 350 counties in the US that have more registered voters than is mathematically possible and the Supreme Court has data that shows that around one in eight voter registrations are problematic. That's 24 million.(10)That's all to the good, because the idea is that the blue party will send teams out to collect these ballots that will otherwise not be used. This happens in state after state, including (obviously) the usual suspects; Arizona, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Wisconsin, New York etc etc.(11) States then fight tooth and nail to obviate any effort that might cleanse the rolls; in fact, the failed (so far) voting rights bill – The misleadingly entitled For The People bill - that they tried to ram through Congress expressly forbade any examination of the rolls and made it a crime to ask for ID.(12)
The outline of the plan is clear. Keep people on the rolls, even if they have left the state. Bus (or fly) illegal immigrants to selected states, register them to vote when they apply for benefits and then either harvest the ballot by 'persuading' them to vote Democrat, or simply collect the ballot and fill it in. If there is no requirement for ID, all the better. Simply post the ballot or deposit it in one of the drop boxes.
“Within these ballot collection systems, there are no effective checks in place to stop voter fraud, and Democrats resist any attempt to apply any form of ID requirement.
That's a feature of the system. It is meant to open the door to massive fraud that is virtually undetectable. Considering how fast Pennsylvania was called, does anyone really think they were validating the mail-in ballots? Throw them all into together and count them, both the good and the bad. That's the name of the game, and in close states, it is nearly foolproof.”(13)
Bear in mind the fact that there are up to five million extra aliens who have entered the country illegally in the past two years alone. Then factor in the fact that the Democrats are still six million votes behind their opponents.
Which brings me back to a recurring theme – how many blue team voters are there in reality? If we know that this fraud is occurring on an industrial scale, what is the true make-up of the American electorate in the here and now? There are bound to be a good number of Leftists who could never bring themselves to vote Republican, no matter how bad it gets. But there are also a cohort of 'moderate' Democrats who have hopped off the progressive bandwagon.
Voters, both prior to the election and afterwards, have not been shy in voicing their disapproval of the regime, when polled. My own instinct is that the number of conservative voters is much greater than advertised, because even with all the cheating, many contests are still competitive. Not only that, but cruder methods have to be deployed to bolster Leftist performance, such as simply swapping votes.(14)
It's tricky to establish a baseline, as 2018 and 2020 did not furnish credible results and there has also been some redistricting of Congressional boundaries following the Census. Nonetheless, the swing states still figure prominently as it is easier to have a favorable impact when the results are expected to be close anyway. However, it's possible that some of these states aren't really battleground states at all – it's possible that some are actually red states, but long-standing fraud has created a false impression. We just don't know.
And what will be the Republican response to yet another electoral outrage? Will they conduct an inquest? Will they demand recounts and launch investigations into voting irregularities? Will they audit Arizona, for instance. No. They won't do anything like that, because they are complicit in the steal. The purpose of these elections is three fold; firstly, for the Democrats to stay in power, that they might pursue their radicalism and condemn us all to the Great Reset. Secondly, for the Uniparty to get rid of Trump once and for all. And thirdly, to prop up DeSantis as the alternative to Trump for the 2024 presidential election.
There is absolutely no prospect of the Republican establishment taking the blame. They will (and already are) blaming Trump. They will say that his message didn't resonate, that people are tired of hearing him complain about the 2020 election and that the candidates he endorsed were of insufficient quality. They wish to purge him. The problem is that nothing of what they say is true. In the past two years, the percentage of Americans who harbor reservations about the last election has been ever increasing – around half of the electorate now feels that way. Trump's rallies are major events. He is viewed as a non-politician and the only electable hope in the Republican party. His candidates also did exceptionally well;
“93% of the hundreds of candidates Trump endorsed won their primary contest in the 2022 election. Eighty percent won in the general. That is a far higher percentage of wins for Trump-endorsed candidates than ever before. In 2018, for example, only 59 percent of the candidates he endorsed won in the general.”(15)
None of this will matter, of course. They want rid of him, regardless. Trump is a disruptor and the Republicans and the Democrats don't want their mutually profitable dance disrupted. The Republican Party did very little to assist Trump while he was in office; some even voted to impeach him. So, the quid pro quo for the RINOs – in lieu of looking the other way and letting the Leftists cheat their way to another election victory – is a stick to beat Trump with. The constant mantra will be that the party needs to move on, Trump's days are over and he's an electoral liability. The Florida gubernatorial election is the icing on the cake.
DeSantis was matched with a weak candidate who seemed to be hell-bent on underperforming. The Democrat party then pulled their funding from his campaign in the latter stages. And so, the red wave broke in Florida favoring the sitting governor by 19% when he had led by 12% in polling. Senator Marco Rubio, another Republican, won by 16.5% having been leading by 8.8% in the polls. Not only that, but the party also managed to increase their representation in the Florida Senate to the highest number they have ever had (85 out of 120).(16) Elsewhere, Republican challengers under-polled by an average of 5.3%, a 13 point differential with their Floridian colleagues.
So, DeSantis is now the blue-eyed boy, anointed by both the Left and the Right. That fact alone means he's been bought and paid for, which isn't much of a secret anyway. His leading donor for this latest campaign was a fellow called Ken Griffin, the head of an investment firm. He contributed $5 million. What does he want to achieve with a DeSantis presidential run?
“He wants to improve the diversity of the GOP and blunt the vein of populism that has complicated the party’s relationship with the corporate world — two things he’s consulted with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy about.”(17)
Of course. That's the top priority for most people today.
In addition to giving DeSantis a helping hand, the Democrat strategy has been to pick off the most prominent America First candidates. In this way, they hope to show an inverse relationship between populism and electability. So, a number of biggish names will be (and already have been) taken down in Nevada, Pennsylvania, Washington and Arizona, in particular. This was to be expected.
The Republican elites can't highlight the election steal, even if they wanted to, because to do so would run counter to all that they and their colleagues across the aisle are devoted to. By default, to infer that elections are being stolen from Trump and America First also acknowledges that Trump and populism are popular with the voting public. Their entire shtick is the exact opposite. So, they can't go there. But there will have to be a moratorium and it will have to find fault. Rather than looking within, they will look without. They cannot do any different.
But even now, even among the switched-on, there is still an aggravating tendency to hold on to hope. For instance, there is much discussion in conservative circles about keeping the House. They talk excitedly about ballot drops to come that will favour their candidates. They believe they can still hold on. The same goes for the gubernatorial contest in Arizona. They can't, because it's a fiction. The votes don't matter; given enough time, enough ballots will be found by Democratic operatives to overturn any race that is tight – or even, not so tight.
After all, what is the point of all the effort if they're going to come up short? Especially when they control the election process and can take as long as they want. Ideally, they'd want to avoid a recount, so victory by just enough ballots is the way to go. And there will be no audit, either. That being the case, they can fly a little closer to the sun and alter races electronically without the need for paper ballots, if there really is no other way. When there's no downside, any gambit is in play.
There is one other factor to take into account. The regime is well aware of it, which is why they have continually harped on about it; the potential for backlash. They know that there is discontent – the polling tells them that and they can also point to the pitiful booster uptake as further evidence that they are not trusted by the electorate. Additionally, in some ways, this steal is more obvious even than 2020. The precedents for mid-term elections are more stable than they are for presidential elections and they have upturned the apple cart.
The Republicans should have won big. They should have comfortably won control of both Houses. But every toss-up bar one went against them. Despite outvoting the opposition by millions – and being mindful of the fact that it was probably millions more – they have failed to achieve anything of note. They will have less governors, the same amount of senators or, in all probability less, and perhaps one or two more representatives, but not enough to assume power. The regime media are already floating the “almost unimaginable”.(18)
But it won't just be Republicans who are feeling sore; not with 70%-80% of the public unhappy with Biden and co. It'll be independents and some Democrats as well. And this time, it won't take two years for a majority to believe that this election isn't kosher. They were half expecting it not to be. The real question was how much arrogance would the regime display? Would they attempt the unthinkable and steal both Houses?(19) The answer to that was always yes. They know no other way, as fifth gear is their default setting. The only option was to postpone them because of lock-downs or martial law, but they seem to have abandoned those possibilities – for now – and so the steal was on.
So, what are the people going to do about it? Will it be another Brazil, where it seems that the military and the police are stepping in to investigate what happened with the election?(20) Or will it be another damp squib? I know where my money is, but the regime is a little fearful. Or, more likely, they are engineering another January 6th protest or similar. I don't think they'll wait for something to happen – I think they'll pre-empt it and go in hard. Perhaps another round of FBI raids on 'extremists' and 'election deniers', or a conspiracy to commit insurrection, whereby a group of federal agents and informants (mingled with a few right wingers of room temperature IQ) are rounded up, having plotted to … insert hyperbolic and hugely unlikely act …
I would think that something along those lines is in the near future. They've done it before – at least twice – in the past two years. They've locked up Trump's allies and consigned Capitol protesters to pre-trial detention for getting on for two years. They won't have any qualms about taking out some more MAGA enthusiasts. And yes, it really is that bad. The election really is that dirty. And the US really is that screwed.
