Comments for Biden border mafia welds open gates on Trump border wall in AZ | Eastern NC Now

Big Bob: My commentary about those people, like yourself, who have a limited capacity to understand what is real, may no longer be what you call "50%" as a representative figure of those that reflexively vote for the Non Patriot Left.

People are beginning to wake up ... slowly, but waking up nonetheless.

Well, it seems like Bolshevik Bob is an arrogant twit as well as a stupid twit. All narrative and emotion. He wouldn't recognize a fact if one jumped up and bit him. Y'all need to recognize that it is impossible to have a rational conversation with self-righteous morons like him.

After the 2000 election, a bi-partisan majority felt there were deficiencies in US elections, and a bi-partisan naitonal commission headed by former Democrat US President Jimmy Carter was set up to recommend measures to improve it. Since then, the Democrats have gone the opposite direction of Carter's recommendations and made things worse. They have used control of states where they were in the majority to do that and in other states have tried to use the courts to do so. As a result, the flawed 2020 election made 2000 look pristine.

For example, photo voter ID is an international gold standard for election integrity, used in every developed country in the world on a national basis EXCEPT the US. Democrats have fought that tooth and nail here in the courts. We are just now finally getting a watered down version of it in North Carolina after years of trying. Many lesser developed countries also use photo voter ID, and indeed it was used in all eight of the foreign elections where I served as an international election observer.

Then there are mail-in ballots which Jimmy Carter twenty years ago identified as being particularly prone to voter fraud. Instead of tightening them up as Jimmy Carter recommended, the Democrats have gone loosey-goosey with them, making voter fraud much easier. Indeed, a few Democrat controlled states have gone ALL mail-in ballots. None of the foreign elections where I served as an international election observer allowed any mail-in ballots at all.

There are other examples where the Democrats have gone the opposite direction from the Carter Commission's recommendations, and in doing so, they have made our elections less secure.

The biggest red flag in 2020 was kicking Republican election observers out of the ballot counting rooms in mulitiple key big urban counties in swing states. In none of the eight foreign elections where I was an international election observer was there ever even a hint of kicking out party election observers or civil society election observers. That is something that would be expected in a Third World police state.

Right you are RH on all points, especially about the hurricane metaphor, which is dead on.

This conflation of everything that is useful in the Leftist addled mind at some lower level of its painful work process, which also has purely destroyed the journalism industry within the Corrupt Corporate Media.

Big Bob: I more than you realize understand the limitations of the Leftist mind; however, you may have hit a new low. Go back and re-read what I wrote; you are conflating issues and have confused yourself ... again.

The Constitution provides for each state's general assembly to provide for elections, and in most states each county is a body politic of that state, and thus responsible for the local integrity of each election.

If a state is corrupt, as many are now, then counties have a far easier time plying their associative corruption.

That is why I cannot see how the Left cannot understand Election Integrity, and its importance.

As a Leftist Big Bob is good for providing his special political muse.

He doesn't, Stan, because they aren't. Anyone familiar with the elections provisions of the US Constitution would know that. That is why Democrat election lawyer Marc Elias had to file lawsuits state by state to try to manipulate election laws in 2020.

A good example of differences in election administration from 2020 is how election observers, who are essential to maintaining election integrity were handled. In Beaufort County, we have NEVER had any problem with election observers being allowed to actually observe the counting of the ballots. Not in 2020, nnd not in any election since I have been voting in Beaufort County.

That was NOT the case in key counties in swing states elsewhere in 2020. In some, election observers were required to stay a long way back from where the votes were counted so there was no way to effectively do their job. In five key large urban counties in swing states, it was even worse. Election observers were either forced out or tricked out of the ballot counting rooms. In one, after they forced the observers out, they even covered the windows of the counting room so no one could see what they were doing. Does anyone's common sense tell them that election officials would do that if they were conducting an honest count? That was a huge red flag that something was badly wrong.

But Bob has hijacked a thread about illegal immigration to make it about elections, instead.

It a battle of the wits, you are totally unarmed, Bob. All you can do is rehash generalities fed to you by your extreme left talking points, and many of those are bogus. You do not discuss specifics on anything, because those are way over your head. Do some research of your own and you might learn something to be able to discuss things intelligently for a change.

The United States Constitution gives states the authority to determine election rules and as a result there are wide variations among the states. For example, a few states are all mail-in while others have very limited mail-in provisions. Mail-in ballots are some of the most problematic on fraud, as none other than Jimmy Carter pointed out. Procedures to verify initial registrations and to remove ineligible voters also vary widely and can have major impact on the quality of elections. The corrupt practice of ballot harvesting is illegal some places, legal in others, and in a gray area in still others. The list could go on.

There is also the quality of administratioon of election laws, and that also varies widely, even within a state where the very same election laws are in place. When the corrupt Tammany Hall machine was rigging elections in New York City, that did not mean that elections were rigged everywhere else in the state, for example.

Can't you even read, Bob? Or do your extreme left talking points get in your way? Beaufort County runs a tight ship on elections. If every county ran as efficient and transaparent an operation, it would be good for the country. We do not have the regular lapses that call the system into question like Durham County, or the massive use of illegal ballot harvesting, mostly by Democrats that plagues a number of southeastern NC counties.

Also, you are trying to shift this thread from its original topic, illegal immigration, onto elections, and you don't seem to have much knowledge about either subject, Bob.

Bob, you clearly know nothing about elections except the talking points of the extreme left which you are a member of, and those are very often bogus. That is why you are quick to jump to the usual label of the extreme left for anything that does not fit their narrative, which is "conspricacy theory".

On the other hand, I have dealt with elections in many different roles, from serving as the chief lawyer for a statewide political party for five years, to serving as an international election observer in eight foreign elections, including being chief of the observation mission, training on NC election law, and being appointed by Molodova's Central Election Commission as a member of its Working Group on Campaign FInance Reform.

There were lots of red flags in the US 2020 election that should have been thoroughly investigated but were not. Without such an investigation, there is no way to tell if the election were honest or if it were fraudulent. Those who claim either are making political statements unsupported by fact.
