<p>The far left – that combine of Democrats and the compliant media – has coined and standardized the “The Big Lie” as the buzz words for those who continue to claim that President Trump won the election. ; The term also includes anyone who believes that significant vote fraud was present in the 2020 election – but perhaps not necessarily enough to overturn the election results. ; Though they lump the two groups together for political propaganda purposes, they are not the same – and it is important to understand the difference.</p>



<p>I fall into that latter category. ; I have seen the history and the current evidence of real vote manipulation. ; It does exist in every election. ; However, I have not yet seen convincing evidence that the election was stolen – but I do not discount that possibility. ; That has been my view since the election – and nothing has changed it. ; Yes, I have seen the claims of both sides. ; I totally disagree with the left’s claim of no vote fraud, but for me, the jury is still out on the scope of the fraud. ;</p>



<p><strong>With more than 50 years of experience in elections – including investigating and on-the-ground fighting against vote fraud – I can guarantee that the Democrats’ claim of zero vote fraud is … well … a BIG LIE. ; It is a dangerous lie because it can lead us to overlook vote fraud and not take protective measures to prevent it as much as possible.  ;And that is the best we can do because it is humanly impossible to completely eliminate vote fraud.</strong></p>



<p>What is amazing to me is how the left-wing media refuses to report on bona fide instances of vote fraud. ; There are literally thousands of reports of suspected election fraud in conjunction with the 2020 election. ;</p>



<p>Some of the election fraud is self-evident. ; We have instances all across the country of vote counts that exceed the number of ballot applications. ; We know that hundreds of thousands of people who were ineligible voted in the 2020 election – people who no longer resided in the voting district or were dead. ; <a>Those are <em>prima facie</em> cases of vote fraud.</a></p>



<p>Democrats and their media allies point to the low level of prosecutions for vote fraud. That is because it is not a prosecutable crime in most cases. ; Because the ballot process is secret, there is no way to trace who might have committed vote fraud – and no way to correct the miscount even the obvious cases.</p>



<p>Yes, some cases do get prosecuted – and some people are found guilty – but they are few and far between. ; Prosecutors and judges who owe their positions to the political bosses are not likely to mete out justice to those manipulating the vote count.</p>



<p>That is why prevention is of paramount importance. ; We must have laws that eliminate or harden the weak spots in the ballots’ chain-of-custody. ; Laws need to address where vote fraud can happen – and we know it has happened &#8212; as a preventative measure. ; That is what is happening in some 48 states at this moment – and contrary to another BIG LIE, it is not only Republican state legislators voting for these bills. ; Does the GOP really control the legislatures of 48 states? ; They are addressing the weak points in the chain-of-custody. ; They are doing their job – unlike the Texas Democrat legislators who are engaged in a political pout like a toddler not getting his or her way.</p>



<p>Democrats cry that these new laws make it harder to vote – especially for minorities. ; If ease of voting were the only consideration, then we should have no registration … no identification check … no special hours. ; That would most certainly make it easier to vote – and we would truly have no provable cases of vote fraud.</p>



<p>Voting must have REASONABLE limitations – such things as established hours and locations, proper identification, ballot security and accurate tabulating. ; NOTHING in the election laws being proposed across the country makes it UNREASONABLY difficult for people to register and vote … nothing. ; They do, however, make the process more secure.</p>



<p><strong>In fact, it is left-wing arrogance and elitism – and an insult to poor folks and minorities &#8212; to suggest that they are too stupid … too incapacitated … or even too busy to cast a ballot.  ; ;Democrats and the left are conjuring up those old racist attributions of Negroes as being ignorant and lazy. ;  ;</strong></p>



<p>Arguably, weeks of early voting makes it unnecessary to even have mail-in ballots except for the truly disabled. ; Ponder that. ; Voters have weeks – including weekends – to travel to a nearby location at their convenience to preform what is said to be one of their most sacred rights and responsibilities &#8212; and the left says it is too much of a burden. ; And on top of that we DO have mail-in balloting. ;</p>



<p><strong>Imagine if Uncles Sam changed the rules and said you could only vote between 6 a.m. ; and 7 p.m. on a single day – as was the case for approximately 200 years &#8212; but you would get $1000 for voting. ; I bet we would have record turnout. ; It is not a person’s ability to vote under all the expanded rules – or under any of the new laws &#8212; it is a matter of willingness.</strong></p>



<p>Maybe because I am of the generation that once had to stand in long lines in rain and cold to cast my vote on Election DAY that I have less sympathy for the whiners and snowflakes advancing these preposterous political narratives. ; If you cannot vote with all the times and ways available to you, then stay home. ; Just stop all the caterwauling.</p>



<p>So, there ‘tis.</p>

Big lie versus big lies
