How the 2024 U.S. presidential election could be stolen

 

At first, you need to ask yourself this question: Can the United States have a free and fair election this year? And if it does, will voters actually believe it was fair?

It is known that there is no way the Republican candidate, any Republican candidate, probably, would win in Massachusetts. Same thing in Utah, which is winner take all. There's no way a Democratic candidate will win in Utah. Which means that no Republican or Democrat will care about Utah or Massachusetts or New York or Kentucky or any state.

And what that means is that people who decide America are the swing states. So in the next election, it's going to be Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona are the key swing states, maybe New Hampshire, maybe North Carolina.

The rest of the country is irrelevant. And what that means is presidential campaigns, in some sense, don't really care about the rest of the country. And so the swingers actually decide the presidency.

In 1960, in Hawaii, Nixon was declared the winner originally, and he was certified as the winner. And then the Democrats noticed an error in the tabulation of the vote, so they asked for a recount. The recount couldn't be completed until after the electors voted. But the Nixon and Kennedy electors both gathered on Elector Day and cast their votes. The Kennedy electors were the first so called fake electors in our tradition. And when the recount was completed at the end of December, the recount went for Kennedy. And so the governor certified for Kennedy, and they sent the certification in and the certification for Kennedy was eventually counted.

If that same scenario happened under the Electoral Count Act of 2022, it would be Nixon's votes that would be counted. Because first of all, it's not clear any electors going to sit and vote. Any Kennedy elector in the story would sit and vote because of the prosecution against the so-called fake electors. But even if they did, under the electoral count reform act, the only way to object is if you can say that the electors were not properly certified, but at the time they were certified, they were properly certified. It was the result the governor was acting under.

let's stick with Wisconsin, Republican majority. But there's a democratic governor. Doesn't the governor get involved with having to sign a law that would basically say, the electors have to vote this way or that way? Or is the governor out of the picture? Will there be enough time for the court to get involved and resolve it before the electors vote? and we know that the Supreme Court would say, you can't change the result after the election.

In the last election, Trump tried to prove voter fraud: Voter ID proponents and other conservative political groups long struggled to produce hard evidence of mass voter fraud. But his group was using a call center to track down people who moved or were otherwise nominally inactive voters, asking them to confirm if they cast a ballot in order to detect possible identity theft. He said he is also cross-referencing databases to find voters that may have cast ballots in the wrong place, voted twice, or were deceased. But they failed to prove all of that (Will we see that in 2024 U.S. presidential election again?)

Too much money in politics, which we know is one of the things that you've been concerned about for decades. Citizens United, the anti-democratic nature of the electoral college, which we talked about. Partisan gerrymandering. In a sense, you could almost be led to conclude, no wonder people can be made to believe that an election was fixed or stolen.

At last, people need confidence that the result actually reflects the will of all of America, not just swing state America, and that we have politicians who care mainly about us as opposed to mainly about their funders of their super expensive campaigns.
