From decrying illegal immigration to espousing an America First trade policy, from denouncing âangry mobsâ to taking jabs at âCrazy Maxineâ and âPocahontas,â few would disagree that when it comes to triggering lefties, President Trump is the ultimate Zen master. And given the presidentâs almost superhuman ability to drive the Left insane with the push of a few buttons to his Twitter account, one might be forgiven for being surprised that one seemingly ubiquitous Saturday tweet topped all or most of the rest, not by calling someone âHorsefaceâ (although yeah, that was hilarious) or taking another well-deserved jab at Robert Muellerâs âwitch hunt,â but by bringing a key issue to light that the Left desperately wants to hide.
Namely - voter fraud.
âAll levels of government and Law Enforcement are watching carefully for VOTER FRAUD, including during EARLY VOTING,â Trump tweeted. âCheat at your own peril. Violators will be subject to maximum penalties, both civil and criminal!â
Now if youâre a normal person reading this, you might think - âWhatâs the big deal? Isnât Trump basically saying law enforcement will be looking out for, uh, those who, you know ⌠BREAK THE LAW?â And youâd be entirely correct, but remember when it comes to liberals we arenât talking about ânormalâ people, not on any intellectual or moral level. Weâre talking about people whose entire lives revolve around obtaining power, retaining power, and using that power to pound the rest of us into submission. By any means necessary. So when Trump or anyone else to the right of center talks about an issue like voter fraud, liberals donât hear âlaw and orderâ or âfair elections,â but instead they see it as mean-old-Trump trying to take away one of their primary tools for stealing elections.
And they go absolutely ballistic.
The first strategy, of course, is to claim that voter fraud doesnât exist. Itâs a âconspiracy theory,â donât you know ...
âVoter fraud is virtually non-existent,â tweetedthe Ohio State Young Democratic Socialists. âWage theft is ubiquitous. Only one gets talked about because we are governed by elites and facists.â
Well, alrighty then.
âDonald Trump and Republicans know that they have to lie about voter fraudâwhich is virtually nonexistentâto suppress and intimidate voters in order to win,â tweeted Bernie Sanders, because nobody would ever try any funny business to keep him from getting elected.
âDonât be fooled by the continued demonization of immigrants,â tweeted CNNâs Jim Acosta. âVoter fraud in this country is actually very rare. What we should be on the lookout for is Russian meddling.â
One cannot help but wonder if Acosta is aware that immigrants arenât allowed to vote until they become citizens.
âVOTER FRAUD is itself a fraud,â wrote MSNBC analyst Richard Stengel. âThe highest measured rate of voter fraud in our elections is 0.0003%. It is virtually non-existent.â
Itâs a common theme, one thatâs been repeated often since Trump first raised the issue after the 2016 election, and it still begs the question - If voter fraud is so ânon-existent,â why are these geniuses so apoplectic that Trump is concerned about it?
The other tactic is to accuse Trump and others concerned about voter fraud of âvoter suppression,â or trying to keep minorities from voting. But by some of the below reactions, youâd think Trump was planning to have hooded KKK members at polling places checking party affiliations and allowing only Republicans to enter.
âShame on you, Mr. President, for trying to intimidate voters, especially while you yourself are under investigation for the most egregious electoral fraud this nation has ever experienced,â wrote former Clinton-era Labor Secretary Robert Reich.
âDonât let this fearmongering deter you from voting,â wrote Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. âItâs your civil right. Itâs how you make your voice heard. And it scares him more than anything.â
âNormally this stuff is printed on anonymous, deniable flyers and thrust under minority voters' doors in the dead of night,â wailed David Frum.
Seriously, only Frum and his ilk would think eligible-to-vote minorities are so stupid that they would stay away from the polls simply because Trump said authorities would be making sure everyone is ⌠eligible to vote.
Singer Bette Midler tried to tattle to Twitterâs Jack Dorsey: âHey Jack, this habitual bully is at it again â intimidating early votersâŚa.k.a. Good citizens participating in the democratic process that is part of the foundation of this country.â
I donât know. Did Trump say citizens werenât allowed to vote? Maybe I missed that part, Bette? Of course, thereâs always the possibility that you and I define âcitizenâ differently.
But seriously, in what universe does insisting that one must be properly and legally registered to vote in order to vote amount to âvoter suppression.â Sure, maybe it âsuppressesâ the votes of dead people, illegal immigrants and people who planned to âvote early and oftenâ on election day, but other than that, on what level is insisting on law and order some sort of immoral act?
In other words, there is one logical reason and one logical reason alone why Democrats wail about voter fraud - because they know the practice exists and they expect to benefit from it. Even if the numbers arenât in the millions that Trump alleged after 2016, a few thousand or even a few hundred well placed âvotesâ can turn the tide in key districts.
And things grow even more murky when Democrats wonât even allow investigations into the issue. Case in point, President Trump being forced to dissolve the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity in January because certain Blue States refused to cooperate or give the commission any data.
Might they have something to hide?
No, they didn't have anything to "hide." They were following their state laws on sharing voter information. If the President's Commission had done its homework, it would have known that its initial request for information was illegal in most states. Maine, with a governor more rabidly Republican than Trump, had to refuse, as well, although LePage would have walked it to them if he could have.
Back when this first happened, I took the time to look up the party affiliation of every single Secretary of State and whether they supplied information to the Commission or not. It was not a political reaction. As many Republicans as Democrats had to say no. It was their laws that prevented them from sharing the information the Commission asked for.
