Critically Thinking About Select Societal Issues
5-Have We had Honest or Dishonest Elections?
Knowing which one we are dealing with makes a WORLD of difference…
{Note: I’ve added several new reports at the end of my prior Mann v Steyn post.}
{This is the fifth installment of a five-part series on the upcoming 2024 US national elections. See Part 1 (How To Win the US Presidency), Part 2 (The Rhyme and Reason of Negative Ballots), Part 3 (2020 Presidential Election Related Lawsuits), and Part 4 (Should Voting Machines be Scrapped?).}
There are two radically different viewpoints about what happened in 2020. Which is the primary explanation? Let’s briefly outline each…
Position #1: Some intelligent people have told me that they believe that the Dems won in 2020 honestly, because: a) they had better messaging, b) they did a better job at getting out the vote, c) they had a better candidate, etc.
Position #2: My view (after 3+ years of intensive immersion into the election issue) is that the Dems won dishonestly, e.g. due to: a) voter fraud, b) voting machine manipulation, c) ballot processing incompetence, d) State officials unilaterally changing voting rules (using COVID as an excuse), e) illegal government support of political messaging, f) manipulation of search engine queries (e.g., Google), g) media’s intensive misinformation campaign, h) NGO influence (e.g., Zuckerbucks), etc.
Which position is correct is not an academic matter, as it has a HUGE bearing on what should be done in advance, to avoid a 2020/2022 repeat in 2024. Those who waste time, effort, and money on the wrong answer are inadvertently perpetuating the problem. I discussed this a few months ago in my post “How Did the Dems Win in 2020,” but apparently I did not go into sufficient detail.
Some examples (from independent experts) about why my position is what it is:
1) There are zero meaningful mandated post-election audits in any state, any county, or any precinct in the US. (This Report [and short video] explain what meaningful audits are.) This is an ENORMOUS loophole that bad actors will instinctively exploit.
2) A special statewide 2020 Nevada voter AUDIT identified 130,000+ cases of voter fraud! (Note: the difference between the Presidential candidates was about 35,000 votes.)
3) A Court-supervised 2020 Michigan County voting machine AUDIT concluded that there was “intentional” ballot manipulation by some of these machines!
4) In the only US legal case where a Judge actually examined 2020 ballot processing, he ruled that in a single 2020 federal race, the NY State (Democrat) election department violated state law in at least nine (9) different ways!
5) An extensive Report by a retired Judge concluded that in 2020, Wisconsin election laws were violated in multiple ways.
6) An analysis of the comprehensive list of 92 lawsuits related to the 2020 Presidential election concludes that several Democrat state officials substantially weakened election integrity by illegally usurping powers assigned to the legislature.
7) A detailed statistical analysis of Pennsylvania’s 2020 Presidential election results by independent experts concluded that there were some 300,000 suspect votes. (Note: the Presidential candidate differential was 80,000 votes.)
8) A detailed statistical analysis of Michigan’s 2020 Presidential election results by independent experts, concluded that there were some 200,000 suspect votes. (Note: the Presidential candidate differential was 150,000 votes).
9) A detailed statistical analysis of Edison Research’s 2020 presidential election results by an independent expert, observed that there were some 4 Million negative votes listed. These were all attributed to “error correction.” It’s illogical to believe that there were that many errors — but if there were, it is an indictment of a horrifically bad election system.
10) A detailed statistical analysis of Edison Research’s 2020 Presidential election data by an independent expert, concluded that there was a net of some 3 Million vote spikes in favor of Biden.
11) A detailed statistical analysis of Edison Research’s 2020 Presidential election data by independent experts, concluded that just three (3) states changed the US election results — and in all of them the vote spikes far exceeded Biden’s margin.
12) A detailed statistical analysis of Edison Research’s 2020 Presidential election data by independent experts, concluded that in those three (3) states: 95%± of their counties voted as expected, but the other outliers made the difference.
13) A detailed statistical analysis of Edison Research’s 2020 Presidential election data by independent experts, concluded that the voting in 95%± of US counties was consistent with the 2016 election results. In other words, the claims that Dems: a) had better messaging, b) did a better job at getting out the vote, and c) had a better candidate, etc. — are provably inaccurate, as those don’t stop at county lines!

The Bottom Line
Yes, regarding the 2020 Presidential election, in some situations the Democrats did do a better job at messaging, getting out the vote, etc. However, H
Anyone who can objectively and thoroughly review this collection of evidence, and still think that the main reason that the Dems won in 2020 was because: a) they had better messaging, b) they did a better job at getting out the vote, c) they had a better candidate, etc., has been afflicted by Confirmation Bias. [This ailment is so pervasive, that it is called The Mother of All Biases! ]
Is there an antidote to Confirmation Bias? Yes— CRITICAL THINKING!
The Solution
Once we accept the Truth here, the question is: what can be done about it?
Several obvious answers come to mind: 1) immediately pass meaningful mandatory partial forensic audits in key states, 2) VOTE (and encourage other patriotic citizens to vote)!, 3) educate more of the public, 4) get more good people involved with the election process, 5) elect more competent representatives who will pass better election laws, 6) aggressively prosecute those who violate election laws, etc.
Again, the single most important solution to countering election shenanigans, is to have mandatory meaningful post-election audits. “Meaningful” would be a partial forensic sample audit, done shortly after the election. The quickest, least expensive, most impactful partial forensic audit would be a voter audit (akin to what was done in Nevada, in 2020). For more details see here.
Astoundingly, no such meaningful audits are legislated to be done in any state, any county, or any precinct in the country.
To have any hope for honest 2024 elections, we MUST fix this, immediately!
