Agree with everything you said, up until the last sentence. It doesn’t matter how we vote or how big our block is. The Left has refined a fake ballot system over the last few elections and if we can’t overcome that, nothing changes. I don’t mean to be a Eeyore, just a realist. The sooner we accept the reality, the sooner we can accept the need for a parallel economy and for helping those who don’t see it/prepare for it. There are groups springing up everywhere to help people figure this out. We know “there are no atheists in foxholes,” so we need to be ready to come alongside those who see the truth, even at the last minute. I predict (and pray for) a lot of heart conversions! 🙏🏻
Connect with your state election integrity group. Show up at county election board meetings. Ask questions. Develop relationships. Run for precinct committeeman so you have a voice in your county party appointments. Work the polls. Ask your lawmakers to return to paper ballots, hand counting, in person one day voting except for truly infirm or overseas military.
You’re right. It just seems so impossible. And it’s wrong to submit to apathy or, worse, despair. And typing a comment on a stack doesn’t equal concrete action, as much as I wish it did. Your last sentence is the key; do you believe that’s really possible? Maybe not for 24, but after that, when things get bad enough??
A county (?) in Missouri recently had a very successful hand count.
There are many folks asking for exactly these things, but TPTB are so entrenched, and have gotten state laws in place that make it hard to return to paper ballots and hand counting, that it is going to take thoughtful strategic work and influence along with a lot of God-given persistence to make these changes.
The changes may not come all at once, but it IS possible.
Contact your state’s election integrity group. Search for “your state + election integrity” or “your state + first audit” or go to America First website. Get connected so you can find out how it is done and what is needed.
Our state EI group, by God’s grace, was able to prevent two very bad provisions from becoming law this year. Now, we had hoped and prayed for a whole lot more, including a return to paper and full audits, etc. But, we did have influence on these other two matters, praise God.
I did reach out to Jay Valentine at omega4america.com, and he gave me the name of our state person, but she hasn’t responded to me. Have you read any of his pieces at American Thinker or his website where he explains fractal computing? He insists that our typical election integrity measures are antiquated in catching/stopping fraud, and he makes some solid arguments. Of course, what he proposes has to be done in conjunction with legislative reform, eg voter ID, hand counts, etc. But if anything electronic is involved, his systems (?) are critical. And all of the above will take much more voter engagement than what we see during most elections. Can you please clone yourself?!
Good for you. Just be persistent in following up with the contact. If that group is like ours, it is 100% volunteer run. And folks can be stretched thin at times.
I'm not personally familiar with him, but yes, any kind of machine is a death knell for true election integrity. That much has been known for years. Many folks suspect the hanging chad debacle in Florida was merely an excuse to usher in machines so that elections could be more easily manipulated.

We don't need to give up on our elections.

Congratulations! We have to take the small wins, or ANY wins, and build on them. Thanks for the inspiration today!
