Voter fraud and dirty politics go hand in hand. Add the element of mail-in voting, and the recipe is complete. And while many have predicted that mail-in voting as a result of COVID-19 will likely be manipulated to benefit Democrats, now there is proof that is already happening. The U.S. Attorney’s office in Harrisburg, the capitol of Pennsylvania, announced on Thursday that it had discovered a small batch of mail-in military ballots that had been thrown out by election officials in Luzerne County.
While the batch was small, one thing stands out. Every discarded ballot was cast for Donald Trump. The county seat of of Luzerne County is Wilkes-Barre. Until 2016, when it shifted strongly toward Trump, Luzerne County had long been solidly in the Democrat camp. A coal-mining area with many union workers, Luzerne County voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012.
It appears that the Democratic establishment is not content to allow Luzerne County to defect from their camp. Because even this early on, Democrats are already throwing out Trump votes to ensure a Democrat win in November.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) issued a press release Thursday, saying:
HARRISBURG – On Monday, September 21, 2020, at the request of Luzerne County District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis, the Office of the United States Attorney along with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Scranton Resident Office, began an inquiry into reports of potential issues with a small number of mail-in ballots at the Luzerne County Board of Elections.
Since Monday, FBI personnel working together with the Pennsylvania State Police have conducted numerous interviews and recovered and reviewed certain physical evidence. Election officials in Luzerne County have been cooperative. At this point we can confirm that a small number of military ballots were discarded. Investigators have recovered nine ballots at this time. Some of those ballots can be attributed to specific voters and some cannot. All nine ballots were cast for presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Our inquiry remains ongoing and we expect later today to share our up to date findings with officials in Luzerne County. It is the vital duty of government to ensure that every properly cast vote is counted.
And while this report is only about nine ballots, it should be noted that all nine were for Donald Trump and — given the early nature of these ballots in the election cycle — likely represent a much larger scheme. Even the press release from the DOJ states that it is nine ballots ballots “at this time,” indicating that the investigation is still ongoing and expects to possibly find more evidence of voter fraud and manipulation.
Since we are still in the early days of the election cycle, there are still hundreds of thousands more votes expected to be cast by mail in Pennsylvania. This report of voter fraud should ring an alarm across the nation as to the possible size and scope of the Democrats’ plans to stoop to incredible lows to steal an election they must realize they cannot win any other way.
Of course, added to this is the fact that Pennsylvania courts have recently ruled that the Democrats can continue collecting ballots for days after Election Day — granting them an unfair advantage. When ballot tampering is added to that already-unfair advantage, one can easily see the writing on the wall: By hook or crook, Democrats plan to win at all costs — fairness and the integrity of the vote be damned.
This early bout of ballot tampering has all the hallmarks of a test run — with Democrats seeing how far they could push without getting caught. And while they did get caught in this instance, what is not known is where else — and how many other times — they have evaded detection.
Consider that, in Pennsylvania alone, millions of mail-in ballots have been sent to people who never requested them. It is apparent that Democrats have pulled out all stops to flood the election with mail-in ballots so that they can cull a large enough number of Trump votes to steer the election results in their favor. Extrapolate those numbers to take in the entire United States, and you have a recipe for a stolen election.
Thank God the DOJ — under Trump appointee William Barr — is taking this seriously. That may be enough to stem the tide of election fraud — but given Democrats’ all-out assault on the integrity of the vote, it is not guaranteed that policing the situation will be enough. Americans who want their votes to be counted should vote in person, if at all possible. After all, if you would not mail yourself an envelope filled with money for concern that it may be lost due to the normal course of human error, why would you mail in your vote, knowing that a political machine is working overtime to make sure it is lost?
