Commentary: We are not supposed to talk about voting irregularities!
by Daisy Luther
October 21, 2024 - The result of the last election has been hotly contested to this very day, and it looks like similar discontent could be afoot in 2024. Questions about the results in 2020 were called a “conspiracy theory” by some, and truth by others (though it has since been proven that massive election fraud took place in 2020). But it should be noted that already, people are complaining about voting irregularities.
First things first - this is absolutely not an accusation that Dominion is deliberately causing this to happen. I’d never dare to do this after the threat they posted on X.
On the other hand, I’ve never liked a pre-emptive effort to stifle conversation.
Let me be extremely clear: I’m only pointing out some people’s anecdotal reports of their early votes being switched. Whether or not this is true is up to the courts to determine, not for me to determine (actually, regardless of what the courts say, it has already been proven to be true).
In Georgia, controversial Congressman Marjorie Taylor Greene (Geo.) shared that she was told by someone who had first-hand experience with her ballot being printed out and the vote not being for the candidate she had chosen.
In Tennessee, a similar story has been circulating, though, in a twist, it was reported that people are seeing their votes changed from Democrat to Republican.
Mainstream media seem to indicate that people don’t understand how to use a voting machine.
At least three states of which I am aware are reporting issues with people seeing that their votes are not being attributed correctly. You can do a few things to ensure that your vote is counted correctly.
Follow all instructions for using voting machines. In many cases, you need to click on the candidate’s name and not the box beside their name.
When your ballot is printed out, don’t just blindly hand it in. Check it and make certain your choices are all displayed accurately.
If you have an issue, speak to both a poll worker and a supervisor to report it. Get proof that you registered your complaint.
Regardless of who we are voting for, we each bear responsibility in this election to make certain that our votes are being counted accurately.
I’ve already written an article warning that the election results could cause mayhem across the country. But there will be other effects too.
For example, if the Democrat candidate wins, the economy could respond, and the prices of gold and silver could be driven up dramatically.
Stock up at the grocery store before the election. You don’t want to have to be out there in the midst of riots grabbing a gallon of milk and some Oreos.
Order anything you might need on Amazon now, otherwise your order could be delayed due to post-election chaos.
Make sure you have subscribed to an early warning system like Alerts USA so that you know what’s going on around the country - unrest could be in your neighborhood.
Be prepared for some contention. A lot of readers have already shared that they’ve taken time off work during the election and immediately afterward, just in case either side feels they have reason to believe the results were unfairly tallied.
Regardless of how this race turns out, a whole bunch of people are going to be extremely unhappy. My advice is to prepare accordingly, check your ballot carefully, and stay away from places prone to protests for the duration.
