Doubts

 

Doubt does not make you a lunatic, a conspiracy nut or simply wrong. Despite the mob's assertion that the election has been decided, it has not. Anyone who does not doubt the widely posted numbers in this election should ask themselves if that certainty is due to an examination of the impartial evidence or to shouted partisan hype and hope.

We have just seen a huge and costly exercise in rules changes during a national election. Formerly, most states used mail in absentee voting ONLY for specific requests for such physical ballots. This year a considerable number of states suddenly and wrongly mailed out ballots to everyone on their voter rolls without checking to see if all those named were: 1) living, 2) residents, 3) duplicates, or 4) wanted the ballot in the first place.

The practical result - and many of us skeptics warned about this well in advance - was to insure that a huge, unknown number of ballots would circulate freely, unreceived by those to whom they were nominally intended. It appears to many of us that this cache of ballots was then used as filler where needed to illegally inflate the Joe Biden vote count.

Had all ballots been counted in a timely manner in front of witnesses, we would not be having these doubts, but they were not. Court orders from the Supreme Court to segregate late arriving ballots, for instance, were ignored in Pennsylvania. Legal poll watchers were illegally denied access to the polls they were supposed to watch. Postal employees have claimed, in person and on videotape, that they observed late ballots being hand stamped with the prior day's date. Counts were mysteriously stopped, but only in critically close states run by opposition governors.

So if you have reasonable doubts about the results, you are not a nutjob. You are a rational skeptic whose voice is being silenced by a hate driven mob.
