NOT another crazy voting conspiracy story

Nov. 3, 2020. Election Day.

All across America, millions of Americans will be turning out today to the polls to register their votes. This is the election of a lifetime: Donald Trump and Joe Biden have battled for “the soul of the nation,” and the winner will be determined by the people.

Or will it?

While millions flock to the polls, nearly one hundred million have already voted, or attempted to vote. This election, marred by Donald Trump’s insistence about “corrupt mail-in ballots,” has seen a tidal wave of early and mail-in ballots never before witnessed in this nation. For a multitude of reasons, Americans have chosen to vote by mail in this election, and their right to do so is clear. Forces, however, have been at work to prevent many of those mail-in ballots from being counted, but I’m not talking about the lawyers.

I’m talking about the postman.

In 2016, Donald Trump beat Hillary Clinton in Pennsylvania by 44,292 votes, giving him all 20 of the state’s Electoral College votes. The Democratic “Blue Wall” cracked right through Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin in 2016, with just enough votes going for Trump to hand him an unbelievable victory. Or so it would seem.

In 2020, Trump is looking at the same strategy for winning: get just enough Red voters out while holding off the Blue voters to win each state, even if by only one vote. A steep hill to climb, no doubt, in the middle of a pandemic when millions of Americans have clamored for a change at the top.

How could one go about “slowing” down the Blue votes?

While lawyers are valuable in getting votes cast out, and conservative judges-and Supreme Court Justices-may play a pivotal role in deciding which votes to count, there is a more sinister plot unraveling that has been overlooked. The manipulation of the Mail Man.

Pennsylvania has sent out more than 2.6 million mail-in ballots to Pennsylvanians in 2020, with more than 1.6 million of those going to registered Democrats. That means more than one million more Democrats intend on voting by mail than Republicans in Pennsylvania alone. Seven out of ten mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania are for Democrats.

Which means that for every ten mail-in ballots in your hand, seven are more than likely for Joe Biden while three would be for Donald Trump. If you discarded those ten mail-in ballots, you would be discarding both Democratic and Republican ballots, but you would be increasing Donald Trump’s chance of victory: for every ten ballots lost, Trump loses three while Biden loses 7, a difference of four more Biden votes lost in each handful.

If that handful is holding five hundred thousand mail-in ballots, that is 363,802 votes less for Biden, 136,500 votes less for Trump, a difference of 227,302. Not counting one half-million mail-in ballots would give Donald Trump an edge of 227,302 votes.

Let that sink in for a moment: 227,302.

If Donald Trump could somehow stop those 500,000 mail-in ballots from ever being counted, he would see an increase for his side of 227,302 votes: in 2016, Donald Trump won Pennsylvania by 44,292 votes.

So, could Donald Trump somehow stop 500,000 mail-in ballots from being counted? He could if the voters who requested those ballots never received their mail-in ballots, and therefore those mail-in votes were never counted.

In Pennsylvania, counties are responsible to prepare and send mail-in ballots to citizens who request them. My mother, who is 86 years old, requested one. The county she lives in, Cambria, processed and sent her mail-in ballot out to her October 16: as of today-Election Day-she has yet to receive it. How is that possible?

Between the Cambria County Registrar’s office and my mother’s house is the United States Postal Service: the USPS is the only entity trusted to deliver mail-in ballots. By some small quirk, Donald Trump-and his lackey Postmaster General Louis Dejoy-have been doing everything they can to manipulate the mail service to effect a change in voting.

Including having mail-in ballots not delivered to Pennsylvania voters like my mother.

The only way Donald Trump can win is by cheating, and this scheme is so clever the Press has completely missed it. While they routinely report about early voting, and the millions of mail-in ballots requested, the Press continues to focus-incorrectly, I might add-on the mail-in ballots that have not yet been turned in. The Press has acted as if millions of voters requested a mail-in ballot and then sat on those ballots.

That is ludicrous.

Millions of people have not requested mail-in ballots to simply sit on them: they requested mail-in ballots so their voice could be heard, their vote counted. No one is sitting on a mail-in ballot.

What has happened, and what has been missed by the Press, is that millions of ballots nationwide, including one half-million right here in Pennsylvania, never got delivered by the US Postal Service: the USPS has failed to faithfully deliver mail-in ballots to legally registered voters, and has the potential to change the outcome of key states like Pennsylvania. The mail-in ballots were processed, and sent, by the counties, but the USPS-somehow-has failed to deliver those mail-in ballots to the voters.

What we have is a theft occurring right behind our backs, using one of the few trusted organizations left in this country to pull it off.

Donald Trump has made use of his power over the postal service to keep mail-in ballots from ever being delivered to the voters: of course, it is much easier to stop a vote than it is to get one thrown out in court. All it requires is the assistance of a few key employees within the USPS to help the Trump Team sabotage the mail-in voting process.

All it takes is the theft of another election.
