For the GOP, Election Reform is Imperative - American Thinker
Two ways to vote only. In person or request an absentee ballot to be received by election day (some emergency medical ballots and such being an exception along with military and overseas ballots)
Universal mail-in balloting and looser ballot integrity laws are poison to fair, honest elections. Go ask Donald Trump. Trump lost by whiskers in five battleground states last November. A switch of approximately 139, 350 votes (out of 23.8 million cast) across those states would have reelected Trump. Democrats fixed the systems just enough. And, in many instances, with Republican assistance, in the name of easier voting access thanks to COVID restrictions. Thus turned the nation’s course.
Trump losing last year had little to do with Democrats running better ground games, per some explanations. Porous voting laws and highly insecure mail-in balloting, with multiple opportunities to commit fraud or mishandle ballots, were culprits. They proved to be licenses to steal. There were other “irregularities,” too, but those two factors were primary.
Peter Navarro’s report about the presidential contests, issued last December: “The Immaculate Deception: Six Key Dimensions of Voting Irregularities,” makes a compelling case for greatly abused elections systems in six pivotal states.
There’s good news, though. Outcries from the grassroots for change are being heard by conservative GOP legislators in, at least, three critical states: Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona. Moves are underway to tighten laws and either repeal or restrict mail-in balloting. The superior play is outright repeal. Republicans have a penchant for trying to improve bad laws or policies, rather than ending them. ObamaCare should have been killed off when the GOP ran Congress in 2017-19.
