Always vote, or "they" (the Dims) will vote for you in your voter slot! Don't give them any extra advantage. And besides, wouldn't it be wonderful if Trump also wins the popular vote (even though we don't pick our Presidents by popular vote), just to push that back in their face when they decry our Electoral College constitutional manner of choosing our Presidents? Keep the Faith and God Bless!!!

Also, California could be crucial to hanging on and growing the majority in the US House of Reps.

Absolutely vote in CA. At the very least it lets people know that CA has more reds than previously thought.

In blue states it is always a black pill feeling that your vote doesn’t count. IT DOES.

Garvey needs your vote against Schiff. Shifty was a front runner of the impeachments of DJT.

DJT needs you to tell people it’s not as blue as the Newt keeps telling everyone.

It encourages more conservatives to run for state assembly and state senate positions.

Honest question: why do we think voting early is a good idea? Doesn't it just give the demons a better idea of what they'll need to "fortify" the outcome?

Expand full comment
Valerie's avatar

Maybe. But I think the risk of something happening on Election Day to prevent one from voting… or your vote from being counted… is probably higher. We’re never going to have secure elections in this country until we have all paper ballots with minimal absentee voting (very, very different from mail-in voting). But I think, with the system we have now, I’d rather bank my vote early. Weather happens, sick kids happen, ‘water pipe breaks’ happen.

Since Maricopa county has already announced that it will take 10-13 days to count the vote, shenanigans are already underway. Add to that the fact that there have historically been issues on election day (printing parameters changed on election day causing unscanable ballots, long delays and outright inability to vote if you have to work), voting early becomes the prudent thing to do.

A method to determine if your vote was counted:

People always wonder if their vote was actually counted in an election. There is an easy way to determine this if an election has a lot of uncontested races and the county elections department releases the Cast Vote Record. The key is to use uncontested races to mark a ballot in a unique manner that can be detected by looking at the Cast Vote Record.

My election ballot for November 5th has 23 races with a single candidate. That results in 23 choices to vote for a candidate or not – i.e. True or False. The number of possible combinations of votes is 2 to the power of the number of races. This example is 2 ^ 23 possible combinations which is over 8 million possibilities. Marking a ballot in such a manner will not affect the outcome of the election because if there is only a single candidate, that person will win the election regardless of your vote.

Checking if your vote was counted:

You can request the Cast Vote Record from the county elections department. The most common format is a very large spreadsheet with a row for every vote cast and a column for every race and the candidate selected. If a vote did not select a candidate, “undervote” is usually presented. This can be a VERY large spreadsheet and Travis County had over 600,000 votes cast in the 2020 November election. A computer program can now be used to take your choices from your voting notes and search the records to see if there is a cast vote record from your precinct with an exact match for your selection of votes for all races. A match indicates that your vote was counted (or one that had the exact same pattern).

A match will not occur if:

- You made a mistake in marking the ballot

- Your ballot was not counted

The ballot serial number is useful if the county releases the cast vote ballot images. Travis county uses ES&S software which can export ballot images as PDF files. Each PDF file has a copy of the front and back of the ballot which should include the ballot serial number and judge’s signature. If there are multiple ballots with identical choices, you can use the serial number to distinguish your ballot from someone who made identical selections. Locating an exact image of your ballot is similar to taking a photograph of a mail in ballot before mailing it to the county elections department.

This technique can be used regardless of political party affiliation. Candidates in uncontested elections will win regardless of your vote. This technique is in no manner telling you how to exercise your constitutional right to vote or who to vote for. You decide how to vote and choose to keep your voting selections private.

There is no marking outside of the boxes. You can use votes for uncontested elections to uniquely mark the ballot. There are over 8 million ways to mark selections for 23 uncontested elections - All, none, every other one, all odd, etc...

Fre'd Bennett, MAHA's avatar

Still doesn't apply to us. Oklahoma has no such thing as an uncontested election candidate - such are automatically raised to office without vote.

I think many people assume that elections and ballots are uniform across the nation. For example, exhorting people to "write-in" a candidate.

But many states have no such thing as a write-in option.

Indeed, if anyone were to do so, in these states your ballot is automatically ruined and your votes aren't counted.

Cast ballots are public records and are available depending on your state's election laws. Texas HB 5180 (2023) states that the public an access cast vote records, ballot images, authentication files, ballot reports, and related records 61 days after the election. Dallas county, Tarrant county, and Bexar county released individual cast vote records for every ballot for the 2024 primary and Dallas county and Bexar county also released ballot images.

No - you vote early because you fight fire with fire. Because early voting - DONE RIGHT - saves the Trump campaign lots of ballot-chasing money. Because it frees up your county recorder on Election day by having a substantial amount of votes already banked. And DONE RIGHT means you either 1) vote a paper ballot at home and bring it in to your county recorders office by Friday Nov 1; OR 2) vote a paper ballot AT the recorder's office by Friday. *DO NOT USE USPS TO MAIL IN YOUR BALLOT - ONLY USE AN OFFICIAL DROPBOX if you must drop it off.*

I work as an election official in VA. We have gotten rid of all touchscreen machines. They were a pain, got locked up often, caused long lines and messed up votes. We now have a paper ballot that the VOTER marks and then puts into a scanner to tabulate. NOTHING but the poll log-in books are connected to any online connection. The paper ballots, in VA, are kept sealed, at the county courthouse for 2 years in case there is an issue.

yes, ballot info may NOT be tied to an individual or name. Raw vote numbers are all that really count to the Sec of State, but raw numbers MUST somewhat match Ballot totals for candidates or issues--Municipal Elections are NOT regulated by State of CO, these are a different State Agency but the State-County does INCLUDE these for convenience and "savings" on the statewide customized ballot when able! So totals for Mayor or Alderman or whatever should be dam close to Participating eligible voters in a town election. Of course asking your fellow citizens about if or how they voter afterward may trigger a DA-FBI investigation on you for "Intimidation"

I personally know of three people that this happened to. They showed up at the polls and were told that they had already voted for Harris — with a mailed in ballot!

I’m in Georgia where you must show ID to vote, so the cheat is obviously in the mail-in balloting.

When ID was presented and it was shown that signatures didn’t match the true voters were able to cast provisional ballots. Hopefully, the true votes will be counted.

But, I’m just one person. If I know of three myself, imagine how many times this has happened! It’s rampant, and Georgia has already announced that we will not have election results immediately. The fix is in. The cheaters have power and cover at the highest levels. Don’t be surprised if we have a “President” Harris next year.

I trust his campaign managers to know a hell of a lot more than I do about the inner workings of this election cycle. I don’t see many experts that understand it better than campaign managers do.

This is NOTHING like trusting his word with the Covid shots, when much of the dissenting expert opinions were being censored from the public. Trump wasn’t a medical expert and had to rely on others who were purposefully misleading him for financial gain. But this campaign and election knowledge? That’s totally different.

One thing that I never forget was this “ The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (NCVIA) of 1986 (42 U.S.C. §§ 300aa-1 to 300aa-34) was signed into law by United States President Ronald Reagan as part of a larger health bill on November 14, 1986. NCVIA's purpose was to eliminate the potential financial liability of vaccine manufacturers due to vaccine injury claims[1] to ensure a stable market supply of vaccines, and to provide cost-effective arbitration for vaccine injury claims.”

Everyone who took the experimental Covid vaccine took it at their own risk.

Thank you, but many, many of us DID know at the beginning that this was not a pandemic. We looked at the numbers. We also knew that there was no need for a lockdown or a rushed vaccine for a flu with a 98% survival rate. I’m sorry that people got deceived and took Trump’s advice, and the advice of his administration, and took the shots. I really am. I just wish they would now open their eyes and keep a close watch on what Trump might want us to do next. Hold him accountable.

I answered this in a comment from yesterday here. The left WANTS us to wait, they count on it, they strategize around it, and they plant trolls to scare you into voting early. Trolls that have posed as concerned conservatives for a while now, but are really not. Or accidental trolls that are conservatives snowed by their fear campaign now trying to warn the rest of us. 🙄

If waiting until Election Day protects us, how’d they get away with the cheat last time? Almost all of us waited. Think about that. Democrats predominately vote early and “bank” their votes, and they just wait until election evening to see how many Republican votes they need to overcome. Since they knew most of the mail-in votes were theirs, they could easily pad at 3am just the right amount needed and “claim” they were ALL mailed in much earlier.

This time they can’t use that excuse for the shift, or the tactic. This time the number of Republican mail in ballots are far more than before and that means they can’t count on the mail-in number as mostly Democrat like they did before. They can’t precisely know how many extra votes they need.

Also, the democrats vote early so that they can spend every cent and minute knocking/calling/mailing ONLY those who haven’t voted yet or decided on a candidate, not those who already know who they are voting for. This way they reach far more of those voters than the republicans can in the same period of time. This time we aren’t wasting our time and money reaching out to those that already know they are going to vote and for who on Election Day. We actually can reach a LOT more of those who may not vote or are still undecided because like the Democrats we can avoid going to people who have already banked their vote.

This is the playing field the Democrats designed to be used at our disadvantage. We need to play it and not let them have the advantage of our “fear” of them knowing how many votes Trump has before Election Day. They took advantage of knowing pretty much how many he would have by election night in 2020 because they could rely on knowing most of the mail-in ballots were all Democrat. They can’t do that this time.

With how much fear mongering about voting early is emphasized, it convinces me there may be Election Day surprises that interfere with getting your vote in, and they already gamble on the fact that at least 20% of voters who intended to go in person end up not making it due to unforeseen circumstances, or emotional influencing by the reporting and “polls”.

There is NO advantage to waiting until Election Day given the current voting laws we have.

The last number of election cycles, it ALWAYS seems that the 'rural' vote (i.e. more Republican vote from rural, small, medium sized towns and cities) always comes in first, because they probably have their stuff together and in theory (and what the media portrays it as that) there are "less votes" to count than the larger cities so they always "report" their results first, while the big cities/counties (like Maricopa/Phoenix, Boston, NYC, Fulton County/Atlanta, Charolette/Mecklenburg country, Research Triangle Park, Raleigh, Northern VA counties, Baltimore, Chicagoland, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Madison, Milwaukee, etc., etc.) report last.

Wouldn't it be great if the "rural countries" could just hold off their reporting until AFTER the large cities report their results, instead of those Dem cities being able to gage how many "votes" they need to make up in order to flip that particular state. Call me cynical, but it certainly does seem that these (s)elections are rigged and that is one way that they mask the steal.

Exactly, what is the rush? If the 'big cities' can't get their act together and report "on time", just simply wait them out. No reason why the shouldn't or couldn't. But I am sure one of their leftist "judges" would order them to submit their results... Give them the Nancy Reagan answer, and "just say no".

I keep thinking about going to bed late on election night 2020 after watching the returns, and with 90% plus of the vote in from PA with Trump up by 600K votes, and magically the lead is evaporated when more of the Phili area finally was reported... then they just keeping counting and counting until they get the right amount to 'win'. Also, there is nothing suspicious about having more people vote than eligible to vote in PA... I'm picking on PA, but I think that is where the big cities of Phili and Pittsburgh are skewing their election with their 'cheat' system in place.

What did Joe Stalin say? And I paraphrase, "It matters not who casts the votes, it matters who counts the votes".

A sad but true story: my friend, a MAGA lady all the way, fell ill and had her husband bring her an absentee ballot, which he gladly did and submitted during early voting. She sadly passed away last week but we were all happy to hear her Trump vote had been submitted. Another friend has had to go to another state on a family emergency. It’s too late for absentee ballot and he still will be gone when Nov 5 rolls around- a Lost Vote for Trump 😢 Another friend is in the hospital with sudden, unexpected surgery. I’m getting her a day pass to bring her to a drive up polling station. Shit happens, VOTE EARLY.

In 2016, my daughter was in the hospital after a double lung transplant 150 miles away from home, and I was living in the hospital's in-house "hospitality house" for family of hospital patients.

What we did:

contacted our local (rural area) county clerk and arranged for an application for an absentee ballot for each of us to be faxed to an office at the hospital, received our absentee ballots (I may have driven back to pick them up in person from the clerk), and voted them and then I drove them to the county clerk who arranged to meet me in-person and I put them in her hands personally.

She had about 3 fantastic years before her lungs went into rejection.

Little did we know she would need a second one (double lung transplant) during the 2020 COVID lockdowns, and would never come out of rejection. She passed May 1, 2021, but she is with Jesus for sure.

Three years later, I no longer feel like I'm heart-crushed or gut-wrenched with every breath, and I'm beginning a phase where I plan to do what I can do to enjoy my family as I'm able, until the day I join her. I think about her every day. She left so many ripples of love in so many lives.

I don't fear death, because I anticipate so much joy in being reunited one day.

IMHO I believe dems are requesting ballots using real voters names. They purposely screw up the spelling of the name or address. The mail never gets delivered because of those errors. Stacks of undelivered ballots accumulate at the post office. Nefarious dem operatives at the post office transport those ballots to a dem aggregation point where they are filled out and mailed in.

We don't have early voting in our state, but if by "early voting", it means that the polls are open normally and that ballots are actually secured and the appropriate checking of names on the voter "checklist" rolls, then I am warming to the idea of being able to do early voting.

Early voting refers to in-person, before Election Day. Here, there are only a limited number of polling places during early voting; all of the precincts are open on Election Day. 'Vote-by-mail' refers to requesting a ballot to be sent by mail (in Florida this requires voter signature and must be done every election cycle). That ballot can be mailed back (not advisable) or turned in, in person, to a poll worker when the polls are open or to the Supv of Elections office (or turned in without voting it, for it to be 'spoiled,' and voting in person after all). 'Mail-in voting' is the West Coast "mail a ballot to everyone on our un-scrubbed voter list" style of chaos.

I’m advocating paper ballots & hand counting. Been to training. It’s easy once ya get the rhythm going. Major checks/balances during counting. 2 Dems & 2 Reps at each counting table. Very transparent. Count is done at polling place; before ballots have been moved at all.

We used to go on election day only. But we have early in person voting in OK, on paper ballots, the process works the same as on election day. Honestly, it's really helpful to have the option, for some folks it's difficult to get off work on a Tuesday. And early voting is generally shorter lines so we get done in a jiffy.

And I like to think that if we vote early, we don't roll up on election day and someone tells us we already voted. Or someone is planning a terrorist attack. You know, stuff.

Was lucky enough to go to 2 rallies in the last election- SC and WI - I never had so much fun talking to my fellow Americans in line - especially the newly legal Americans who had recently become full fledged citizens- the event was so well organized and we were all treated with such enthusiasm, respect and dignity by the organizers. Really gave me a lot of hope on how good Americans really are.

I went to two Trump rallies in 2020 in locked down MI. We waited 4 hours to get into an airport hanger. It was packed, but we had so much fun waiting in line with maskless people, and seeing Air Force I land was a thrill I will never forget. Trump’s been to MI a bunch of times. He is trying to prove he can win the “blue wall”, (PA, WI, and MI). He won all 3 in 2020, even if the official results were the opposite. The more Trump can show the massive crowds that the media can’t ignore, the harder the cheat becomes.

The Novi, MI rally was small in comparison to many others. We had a beautiful but chilly morning and waited about 3 hours to get in which was brutal on the back. Once inside it was standing room only because there were people that arrived a couple hours before us. It was a good rally! We were exhausted afterwards (and we’re much younger than Trump)! That man is badass! A couple hours later he filled the stadium at Penn State and then yesterday did MSG. Incredible stamina!! 🇺🇸♥️

I watched that rally on RSBN's Rumble channel.

Impressive endorsement from the Michigan Islamic community, and a shout out to Chaldean Christians? (I also watched the one at Penn State, so I may be conflating the two)

I'm glad you were able to go!

Plus, these rallies are going to end soon!

Yes, I learned from the AZ rally in Florence Jan 2022 when Kari Lake was running for governor, that you have to go hours and hours early to get inside the chaired section.

It wasn't easy for me doing that at the Traverse City one on Friday, but I don't think I could have stood for the extra hours we had to wait while Trump did the Joe Rogan podcast in Texas. So I'm glad that I was at the shuttle parking lot when it opened at 10am. Plus I met a friend on the bus that I buddied up with. A poll worker and someone who answered some of the nuts and bolts questions I had about early voting in Michigan.

Incredible stamina, indeed. That man is one-of-a-kind.

Our local news just reported that Trump is doing a rally Thursday in ALBUQUERQUE!! That can only mean their surveys show that deep-blue New Mexico is in play. And if NM is in play, then we can take CO. Please please please let us have a red wave! New Mexico is a heavily Hispanic, heavily Catholic state. There is absolutely no reason we should be governed by anti-God, pro-abortion left-wing lunatics (any more).

I too did not take the vaccine because of Jeff. Unfortunately, I had to take the first swine flu shot. I was in the military and didn’t have a choice, and have suffered ever since. It was good to read about what the government did to us in 1976. They also tried to do it again in the 1980s. I was a fairly new RN and the whole ward was full of Gillian beret patients from flu shots. I knew then I would never take another shot. Keep praying for Trump & our nation 🙏🏻🙏🏻

TimeIsNear's avatar

They were still doing it this way in '89. I remember walking in line and they pumped it into both arms. I got very sick a couple of days later and my drill instructor wouldn't let me go see a doctor. He was an asshole. I only got to go when I was working in the chow hall delirious with fever and vomited. They sent me to see the doctor who was a colonel, and he asked why I didn't come in earlier. I let him know he wouldn't let me come in and he was pissed off. He gave me 4 days of bed rest and they were not to disturb me in anyway. Those were the 4 quietest days in our platoon. Our instructor was very abusive and I guess word got back to the commander. He called our entire platoon into a room to write down everything we witnessed and endured. He said I don't even want you to write your name on the paper. I guess all the stories matched up because we got another instructor and the other one was demoted in rank. That probably killed his career. Every single time I had to take a vaccine, I would get very ill and end up at the base hospital. I can show my immunization records and medical records to prove it. When I got out in '96, I said I would never take one again and I haven't. The VA hounded me by mail and phone to come get my covid jab along with my family. I finally went off on the nurse that called for like 10 minutes. I've never heard back from them again and they have never asked me to take another vaccine. I think I missed the Anthrax vaccine while in the Gulf War. I remember it caused a lot of issues. I know I went over there healthy and came back with a lot of problems and injured to top it off. They have me under the umbrella of Gulf War Syndrome and the VA pays me compensation now. I lost nearly everything before they awarded in 2020 after turning over 1k pages of medical records. Knowing what I know now, I would have never enlisted but I tell those around me not to join. Find another way. It's not worth it.

I pray someone in a Trump Administration will address the military’s coercion for injections.

If going to a jungle perhaps certain shots may be helpful. But across the board …. I disagree.

For instance; every body (no matter weight or size gets same amount of injection.

Should be more personalized. Blacks process these injection very differently than Caucasians. That’s a significant thing. No wonder some get sicker or have more reactions than others.

Texas has a cool way of voting. So you pick your candidates on a computer, review when finished, it prints out your paper ballot, which you then again review to make sure every pick is what you wanted. You then move to a scanner and feed your ballot into a scanner and your paper ballot drops into a bin so verification can happen if need be. Still some opportunity for problems, but I like the system and my ability to check and recheck.

When NY switched to using scanners and ditching our beloved booths with handles that you turned down to register your vote, I started making this joke every time I voted. I'd approach the scanner tentatively and say to the person manning it "So now I just slip this into the vote-changing machine?" and the person would give me a a little smile and a nod. Finally one person got my joke, and we ended up as table partners in the next election, so that was fun. I was a poll worker for a while.

Good catch on the 1976 swine flu debacle. I had completely forgotten about that. You are spot on how they made sure not to allow that to happen again. Two other examples of how they learned from their mistakes was making sure they never lost control of the narrative to the point massive Viet Nam War protests would happen again, and making sure they owned the media so that San Jose Mercury article penned by Gary Webb ( committed suicide. Shot himself twice in the head". about the Iran Contra importation of cocaine into Cali would never happen again either.

" ... learned from their mistakes was making sure they never lost control of the narrative to the point massive Viet Nam War protests would happen again ..."

This is why reporters embedded with U.S. troops were tightly controlled beginning with the Grenada invasion in 1982. The U.S. military recognized from the experience in Vietnam that the anti-war protests were fueled, in large part, by first-hand reportage contrary to the military-approved version which became known as the "five o'clock follies". If anything, the military were determined to control that aspect of the narrative. Of course they couldn't, which is how Abu Ghraib and the incidents at Haditha and Mahmudiyah in Iraq were revealed. Afghanistan was a separate issue as revealed in the late-Michael Hastings' reporting with Rolling Stone and his book, The Operators.

I've long suspected that they might do something to disrupt the election, like touch off a civil war, but I don't think they're going to. The language they use shows that they know the jig is up; they're in damage control mode now.

Lol. you guys have to look up Kamala at a black church mimicking the black preachers and pretending to be a Christian.

So Christian… to the point where she ejects people who say “Jesus is Lord” from her rally and says they’re at the wrong one 😕 She’s as fake at that as she is at anything else!

I'm still not holding my breath but I heard she had no campaign events planned last week or this week in any swing states. Theory is she's given up and is trying to offer support for congressional candidates but I wouldn't think they would want her around?

The reason she spent time in TX was because they thought it was a better gamble to turn TX blue given the number of electoral votes, and the fact that a ton of CA residents fleed there but are still (stupidly) blue. If they get TX then none of the swing states matter.

I was 21 in 1976. I lined up for my swine flu vaccine like a good patriotic girl should do.

I went home and became violently ill. I laid on the floor of my bathroom for hours with both ends going non stop. To this day, I have never been as sick as I was that night. If I had not been so young, I do not think I would have survived.

The silver lining of this story - I did not and would not take the Covid vaccine after already being a victim of the pharmaceutical company and government propaganda machine.

I also was 21 and pregnant. I was told to get that shot or the fetus was in danger. They used the air injector to administer it. I too was extremely sick but was told it was a normal reaction. I have never taken another flu shot since that day and have never had the flu.

Tucker could certainly blow a bigger hole in the safe and effective narrative if he would interview Tom Haviland about the white fibrous clots being found in the dead as well as the living:

The mainstream alternative media, aka the Tucker Carlsons of the world....while there are things I appreciate them, one can make a pretty compelling argument that they are gatekeepers (wittingly or unwittingly). Certain topics do not get touched.

Juju's avatar

Don’t judge until the fat lady sings. There may be a strategic reason why they are holding back before the election. I was encouraged that yesterday at MSG he actually scoffed at “safe and effective” during his speech. I’m pretty sure he has a stronger opinion. Let’s see what they do with it over the next four years once the election is over.

I agree with you Juju. I told Tom that I don’t expect Tucker to contact you until after the election.

I don’t think Tucker will forget that he has that vial of clots in his possession.

Not voting because of this single issue is stupid. Oh ok, let’s lose ALL our freedom of speech and move to a Marxist one-party controlled country because Trump believed what he was being advised on and hasn’t said he’s sorry yet. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot. If they had campaigned on this issue I GUARANTEE Trump would NOT have the support he has today. Too many Americans are still in the dark, OR having a VERY hard time reconciling their own hateful actions at that time given they didn’t know what they do now, or condoning all that happened by remaining silent. Dr Phil was right, those who stand by and say nothing out of fear of being attacked themselves are JUST as guilty as the bullies. That’s a difficult pill to swallow. They aren’t ready yet to face this and it would have caused us to lose the election if we forced them to. It was wise to hold off on addressing this issue.

I really don't see it with Tucker. That man touches too many "third rails." The reaction to when he had Darryl Cooper on tells me everything I need to know. There is no bigger "third rail" than in questioning the long-revered myth of WWII and its heroes (NB: using "myth" doesn't mean that I am denying WWII. It does mean that we are required to accept only one narrative surrounding it and no deviations are allowed). I'm not saying Tucker couldn't be a "limited hangout," I'm just saying I need more proof.

I agree, Juju. I am a big supporter of Tucker. When I said I need more proof, it would be to convince me that he is somehow controlled opposition, as people like to say. I don't think he is. I think he is genuine and truly loves our country.

I understand everyone being focused on vaccine injuries since they immediately impact our life but it seems we've lost sight of the fact that our government is/was doing Gain of Function research on potentially deadly pathogens. Why in the world would we be trying to boost germs/viruses to be more lethal? Gain of function research must be stopped immediately to prevent this from happening again.

They did it to create bioweapons like the COVID virus from Wuhan they released on the world so they could poison, kill and control entire nations.

In short, the research's purpose was to execute the exactly what they did.
