Report: Half of Pennsylvania Vote-by-Mail
Ballots Cast Before Fetterman’s Disastrous Debate

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 10/26/2022 10:11:04 AM

Nearly half of all vote-by-mail ballots in Pennsylvania had already been cast before Tuesday night’s U.S. Senate debate, which was judged a disaster — even by Democrats — after Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D), recovering from a stroke, struggled to form coherent sentences. Fetterman had sought to avoid a debate, and his campaign has restricted his public appearances.. When he finally agreed to one, Democrats sought to delay the debate until ballots were already being cast by mail, since Democrats are more likely to use that method and more of the party’s vote would already be cast.

Motor voter, early voting, vote by mail, drop boxes, ranked choice and ballot harvesting are subversions of elections in favor of democrats. Anyone opposed to the above, or favors voter ID laws is smeared. And those attacks are generally effective because Republicans are on the wrong emotional side of all issues.

It’s not early voting, it’s the early in the morning after polls have closed voting that Democrats use to win. “We need xxxxxx more ballots for ——- (D) to win the district/state/national election”. And any attempt at challenging this corruption is met with contempt and dismissal by media. The simple fact that neither Biden nor other Democrats have not abandoned their anti-fossil fuel and anti-white agendas before the elections is a sign that Dems don’t care about possibly losing on 11/8.

No excuse mail-in voting in PA has been a big problem since day one. The Dems in Philly and Pittsburgh have been aggressive cheaters for years. Mail-in voting has made it a lot easier. The hell of it is that you can the PA State Republican Legislature for mail-in ballots. The negotiated with Gov Wolf (an Obama disciple) and gave Wolf the mail-in ballot system wanted in exchange for eliminating straight party line option on the ballot (so if there was cheating against Trump, they wouldn't be dragged down with them). Harrisburg Pa is full of RINOs who know nothing about the U.S. Constitution. There is nothing and I mean nothing in Article One Section Four about the Governor, Pa Sec State or PA Supreme court having anything to do with federal elections. Article One Section 4 clearly gives state legislatures (and nobody else) the authority to establish the methods and processes for election.......period !!!!!!

Used to be that you wanted debates early (September) so that if you made a gaffe, you had a few weeks to clean it up before the folks went to the polls. Now, with voting starting in December 23 months before the election, mail-in ballots as easy to find as leaves on the ground in a forest in the fall and Democrat vote-stealing schemes the norm with folks dropping off 4700 ballots at a time in front of the welfare office, you want the debates late so that the fools that voted early and might think about changing their ballot can't do it. I'm expecting in 2024, the Dems. are going to push for one Presidential debate, Monday night, November 4. And since it's also the night for NFL Monday Night Football, ABC/ESPN will arrange to get the "marquis matchup" of the season. Viewership for the debate will probably number in the tens.

This is why the window to vote needs to be shortened drastically and, if they had any sense, the candidates should insist on debates, etc., before that window opens.

The Justice Department this week outlined the steps it will take on Election Day to ensure a fair election process, but a government watchdog is warning that the plan leaves out critical details that open the door to selective enforcement against red states. The Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA) said the lack of detail in the DOJ announcement likely means "selective transparency and selective enforcement, something we've come to expect from the Biden administration's two-tiered approach to justice."

In Thomasville, Georgia, parents are furious over a local library featuring in its kids’ section the queer manifesto “All Boys Aren’t Blue” and what is described as a pornographic sexuality guide called “It’s Perfectly Normal.” Several books are being protested after parents discovered much to their collective horror that they were being provided by the library, according to the Daily Mail. Aside from “All Boys Aren’t Blue” and “It’s Perfectly Normal,” the library is also promoting “Beyond Magenta: Transgender Teens Speak Out.” Another book deemed as offensive is “The Hate U Give,” which delves into police brutality against black youths and teenagers.

The Washington Post had plenty to work with when the death of Lucianne Goldberg happened, but instead of remembering good, or at least balancing their summary, they selectively chose to remember the great muse of the right, Internet pioneer, and accomplished woman from a time when women weren't allowed much accomplishment, by printing only cherry-picked tales of dubious sourcing that made her look phony.
