Several weeks ago, The Republic newspaper published an in-house editorial concerning election fraud in the 2020 presidential election. The opinion of the editorial was that the news media had investigated the claims of fraud in the election and had found no instance of fraud. Claims of fraud by others were labeled as baseless accusations, without foundation and evidence.
I do not believe this for one second.
Almost every newspaper and television news station reported in exactly the same way — that claims of election fraud were baseless accusations, without foundation, and no evidence. The unspoken command at the end of this reporting was "shut up."
Facts are stubborn things. They may be suppressed, sometimes for a very long time, but they struggle to come out. What happened to the affidavits, submitted under penalty of perjury, concerning the election irregularities which were witnessed? What happened to the Senate judiciary testimony of two men who were present when election irregularities took place? What happened to the semi-trailer of election ballots driven from New York to Pennsylvania, parked as instructed, then disappeared?
When the attorneys general of 17 states filed suit at the Supreme Court over election irregularities, the court turned the case away with the statement that the attorneys general had no standing to bring such a suit to the court. None of those claims were examined and those questions went unanswered. In other state courts claims of fraud and irregularity were turned away because they were presented too late and those questions went unanswered.
State legislatures are given the responsibility to manage elections. In 2020, elections were altered by state supreme courts, governors, and other officials in violation of the Constitution. It was an election riddled with irregularity. The horror of it now is the push by the House of Representatives to codify into law the irregularities and questionable acts of the election.
Worse than that is the push to federalize election law by allowing universal mail-in ballots, ballot harvesting, same-day registration, no identification needed, 16-year-olds voting; more irregulars that I can remember. It is childish and immature for the House to behave this way. What the push for passing H.R. 1, then S.B. 1, does is undercut The Big Lie of the media claim that there was no fraud in the election.
Frankly, I do not know who won the presidential election of 2020. I am not close enough to see through the confusion of the election. The Supreme Court has turned away the question, many state courts turned away the question and the media is adamant that no fraud took place, stating that any claims of fraud are baseless accusations, without foundation, and no evidence.
"The lady doth protest too much, methinks."
