The GOP can never win the ballot harvesting game, so restore mail-in voting to a rare practice only, when necessary, by illness or absence.

Perhaps the most consequential political outcome of the Covid panic that was engineered is the widespread use of mail-in voting in place of actually showing up at a polling station on Election Day. On the spurious grounds that standing in line to vote would spread the virus that was lethal mainly to the infirm and elderly, our entire process of voting was upended, and made highly vulnerable to cheating.
Writing in
The Federalist, Joseph Arlinghaus and William Doyle, Ph.D. argue that Republican efforts to match the Democratsā ballot harvesting efforts are fruitless.
Democrats currently execute a ballot-harvesting game vastly more complex, sophisticated, expensive, and labor-intensive than most Republicans even remotely understand.
The Democratsā powerful election-industrial complex consists of two types of institutions: national types devoted to election strategy and policy, and local types, including public-sector unions, devoted to fielding and deploying boots-on-the-ground election activists.
Public-sector unions comprise a
vast potential workforce to aid in solidifying the grip of Democrats on the election process in their states through the sheer manpower they can deploy for vote canvassing, voter registration, assistance in early voting, and ballot harvesting.
Local urban-based activist organizations also contribute to the leftās army of community organizers. It is where the armies of Democrat vote canvassers and ballot harvesters come from in
Arizona,
Georgia,
Michigan,
Wisconsin, et al.
Democratic ballot harvesters are guided by
sophisticated statistical models and data mining schemes devised by an army of highly skilled, Ph.D.-level data analysts. Republicans have generally disdained this technical aspect of political science and instead published think-tank papers on political philosophy or public policy, leaving the ranks of high-level Republican data analysts generally empty.

Nonetheless, apparently ending mass mail-in voting is the struggle that they advise, though they donāt come out and say so directly.
If matching the Democratsā efforts is futile, simply accepting the sudden drastic change originally justified by a questionable āemergencyā is a recipe for capitulation to permanent rule by the Democrats and their
deep state allies.
Commentary:
The war has started, so returning to āstatus quo anteā is off the table.
Electoral goals should be:
- ID voting only
- No ādrive-up registrationā
- Voter registration closes 2 weeks prior to election
- No mail in ballots unless requested 1 month before election and recād before election day
- Voter rolls purged every 10 years with census. Must re-register
- No voting season - 1 day / 24 hours for voting only
- Make election day a holiday
Votes should be counted by midnight on voting day. Those doing the counting must have all their ballots counted or risk hefty jail time; that will prevent counters from stalling and from creating phony ballots. This has become a criminal enterprise in swing states such as NV, MI, GA, PA, etc. Democrats have been preparing and honing cheating methods in earnest since 2020.
The vast majority of affidavits of fraud during te 2020 and 2022 elections came from Democrats and independents who were poll watchers, and judges.
A good example of election fraud was found in Arizona.
