All nations, empires, and kingdoms have struggled with this process. Finally, ‘we the people’ discovered that an orderly transfer of power from one group, person, or party to another depends upon a trust that has only appeared after the concept of one person, one vote. Only the fledging democracy developed in America fixed that concept into law, a law that has served us well and made the United States the most admired type of government in the world. But the concept of an orderly transfer of power through the ballot box demands a trust that all votes will be fairly counted, not usually, but every time. Since our struggle for independence and the creation of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, we have trusted the rule-of-law and the ballot box.
These two guiding concepts are intertwined. They cannot be separated. In the past decade, we have let the rule-of-law be ignored by personalities and organizations in the name of ‘forgiveness.’ ‘No real harm has been done’ and ‘everyone deserves a second chance’. The result has been that many of us believe there are really two systems of law: One for the rich and powerful and one for the rest of us.
Now we have a situation where the greatest crime in our history has been committed by one political party in what looks like a massive fraudulent election to give the radical left movement in America control of our nation. This crime either occurred or it did not.That is what lawful investigations are for. They determined if there was a crime. Then the courts and legislatures can restore the trust of the people in the election process. There is no other option.

I fear we have let our freedom slip away.The dems. don’t recognize their leaders for who they are. And the republicans are complacent as usual.
One thing stands out for sure. We need a single standard/method for electing federal officials through the voting process. One deadline for votes to be cast, one rule for absentee ballots to be submitted and received, one rule for picture ID if voting in person, one rule for signature verification on absentee ballots, one rule for vote submission (no un-monitored drop off boxes,etc.), and observers from all parties should have a presence in the vote counting process/locations. Also, if hardware is used in the voting process, the version of hardware and software needs to meet set standards. How can we have 50 different rules (states rights) and expect people to have faith and trust in the system?
It is hard to know what to believe. When I listen to interviews on FOX, I am outraged by the left’s scheming. Where were the Republicans when the voting laws were being butchered? Then prominent Republicans tell me there is very little there. Surely there was cheating, but how bad was it? It is incredible that there was no venue that was willing to take on that task. I think Trump’s latest moves are quite destructive, both to his legacy and to the country. I think that Tucker had it right, no one is looking out for us.
