 HOW DID WE GET HERE?

The current chaotic voting system in several key states and counties is the design of the Democrat Party going back several decades.  It started with Motor Voter and went downhill from there.  This is why you don't have single day voting with paper ballots, with rare exceptions for those who could not vote on election day (in most states, those exceptions were only granted after the individual signed an affidavit swearing why they could not vote on election day).  With early voting, voter harvesting, drop boxes, widespread mail-in voting, and now the Democrat Party's opposition to Voter ID, etc. (indeed, a few months back the House Democrats vote almost unanimously against a federal requirement for Voter ID in federal elections), the chaos in certain states and counties is intentional -- as are the open borders and myriad ways non-citizens might vote (and, for the first time, the Harris-Biden regime and its DOJ, as well as its judges, actually sought to enshrine the right of non-citizens to vote as a legal mandate!). And it's no coincidence that the first bill Schumer has said he wants to pass in the Senate would abolish all state election law requirements and replace them with federal standards written by the Democrat Party, thereby turning the entire nation into California (with its Democrat Party-empowering rules), making it impossible for the Republican Party to win national elections.   

The good news, as far as I can tell, is that the Trump campaign and RNC are doing everything possible to ensure that the election is conducted justly and fairly.  They apparently have lawyers in place in key locations throughout the battleground states.  I am cautiously optimistic about the election and sincerely hope that everyone within the distance of my radio and TV voice, and who are reading this post, has voted, or will vote, and will ensure that others in their circle of family, friends, and colleagues vote!  Voting is going on right now with hours left before polls close!  Nothing can stop us if we turn out en mass!
