33. A blue wave isn't a blue wave until the votes are COUNTED.

Jan 2020

Paper ballots can be lost, stolen or destroyed. But that can only happen if there is no legitimate chain of possession. WE KNOW WHERE THE WEAKNESS IS with paper ballots, so we work to eliminate that possibility, ENSURE the chain of possession, witnessed by members of BOTH parties..

ANYTHING electronic can be hacked, and you have no clue where it happened.

We also need to be aware AT THE POLLS that a blue wave is happening... How do we do THAT? Do we all wear blue?

And for the record, in this situation I DO NOT CARE about your right to privacy.

Let's see, do you proudly allow your vote to be known and we save our country? Or do you bask in the glory of your SECRET ballot? Secrecy is how ALL THE SHIT HAPPENS. We used to abhor the idea of deals being made in secret in (smoke filled) back rooms... SUNSHINE DISINFECTS.

If we are successful, after the election, THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME SERIOUS JAIL TIME FOR ALL INVOLVED. Guilty Republicans, hackers and spreaders of lies and disinformation for the purpose of overthrowing a legitimate election (I don' think that FOX NEWS or any news/media outlet has the constitutional right to LIE and pass it off as the truth..), code programmers who alter codes that change election results (no matter how - database or vote tallies), people aware of it who say nothing. NO ONE should be allowed to get away with subverting an election.

If not, it will all happen again.

And if the Fuhrer does lose we need to use their own play book and refuse to enact anything he does after the election. That includes pardons. Pardons were NOT meant to allow criminals to get away with subverting our democracy.
