I was reading a BBC article this morning, in which there was a very telling passage about the 2020 election: "On Saturday morning, a fresh batch of ballots counted in Pennsylvania gave networks the confidence to predict Biden would win there."

It is astounding that this sentence can be written or read without setting off serious alarm bells. The "Saturday" they mean was 7th November, 4 days after the election. Why was a batch of uncounted ballots delivered 4 days after the election? Where did they come from? How did they take so long to arrive?

The most important thing in an election is that each ballot has a clear chain of custody. A voter needs to be reassured that their ballot is protected by an unbroken thread of responsibility. They need to know precisely when and by whom their ballot has been filled out, handed in, stored, delivered, and counted, with no gaps in between. If they don't, they cannot be sure that their ballot hasn't been tampered with or discarded.

But for some reason, the entire mainstream media and half the country are not remotely concerned that boxes of ballots are being delivered days after the fact, apparently to the surprise of election officials. Or, worse, that election officials are suggesting the same could be happening up to TWO WEEKS after this election day.

Add to that the fact that these problems are only being reported at scale in so-called swing states, and only when the state governor and secretary are Democrats. It doesn't happen in Texas, California, Alaska, Florida, Hawaii, Wyoming, Oklahoma, or Vermont. Only in 3-6 specific swing states. Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, et al. Funny that.

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but these circumstances are quite obviously contrived to benefit one side.

You like many of us are very nervous; I fear the West is doomed if the Cackling Cocksucker gets in, fairly or unfairly. Trump will need a significant majority to fend off a repeat of what happened in 2020.

Harris and Starmer. God help us.
