The anti-social distancing imposed on us by the state in consequence of the Dempanic has something to do with it. It's not just Sleepy Joe Biden who's hiding in the basement. Politicians are simply not out there doing "retail politics". Hands remain unshaken. Babies remain unkissed. Corn dogs are uneaten at state fairs. [What state fairs? They're all cancelled! Ed.] Kamala Harris makes "news" by wearing a certain brand of running shoes. Nothing is going on in public, where we can see and hear what they're doing. It's all in the courtrooms and smoke-filled back rooms.
The news from the courtrooms is worrisome. A lot of Democratically-elected/appointed judges are laying the groundwork for a presidential election which will be decided not at the ballot box but by judges. Yes, there will be ballot boxes, but, state by state, liberal judges are giving the Big Blue OK to mail-in voting, aka cheating-by-mail.
Earlier this week, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court extended the state's absentee ballot deadline to three days after the election (!) and approved of the use of mail-in ballot drop boxes, a big legal win for the Dumbocrats in the key battleground state. The case, which was brought by the Pennsylvania Democratic Party, is similar to another one being litigated in federal court, which was put on pause while the state supreme court considered the matter.
What's wrong with mail-in voting, I hear you ask. Given the efficiency of the USPS, is it not reasonable to extend the deadline for receipt of the mail votes until a few days after polling day? Dear reader, this is Pennsylvania we're talking about. Stories abound about howvotes are counted in Philthydelphia, where, if it looks like Democrats are trailing, calls are made to certain precincts which haven't reported yet. When polling officials are asked (the story goes) how many votes have been cast for the Democratic candidate, the response is "How many do you need?"
But (I hear you asking, again) how can they do that if the only envelopes to be opened and counted have to bear a postmark not later than polling day? Walt is a stamp collector [Surprised? Ed.], and can assure you that it's not hard at all to forge a postmark. Or you could even get a real postmark, antedated, from a co-operative USPS employee who "forgot" to change the date on the handstamp. The possibilities for fraud are many and various.
But the anti-Trump forces (and that's the right word) aren't going to leave it to cheating-by-mail or compliant courts to ensure that the presidential election is left to the American people, who they think can't be trusted not to repeat the "mistake" they made in 2016.
According to Breitbart News, a massive network of well funded left-wing activists and progressive groups are training, organizing, and planning to mobilize millions of Americans should President Trump "contest the election results," refuse to concede, or claim an early victory.
The article goes on to say that more than 80 advocacy groups and grassroots organizations have joined in a broad coalition calling itself "Protect the Results", which proclaims that "we cannot ignore the threat that Trump poses to our democracy and a peaceful transition of power."
Who's behind this? Do you really need to ask? The coalition is a joint project of Indivisible and Stand Up America, two left-wing groups founded in response to President Trump’s 2016 election and whose goals are "to organize and resist Trump’s dangerous agenda" and "to defeat Trump and his enablers." Seeking to "protect" election results by use of its millions of members, the coalition calls to "take coordinated action" and "prepare for a potential post-election crisis."
Both Indivisible and Stand up America are part of the Soros-funded Democracy Alliance, the largest network of donors dedicated to building the progressive movement in the USA. In 2017, DA developed a "resistance map" -- a mix of anti-Trump groups it recommends its members donate to, many of which are now part of Protect the Results.
Having likened President Trump to a dictator, left-wing billionaire George Soros declared in a recent interview that Trump is dangerous, is "fighting" for his political life, and will do "anything to remain in power." Hardly surprising, then, that Soros-backed groups are leading the so-called post-Election Day "resistance".
