Hope is Fading for the Trumpster

Michigan's Board of State Canvassers today certified the state's election results. This comes just days after Georgia certified its votes, joining approximately 15 states that have completed the process by today.

Additionally, various lawsuits brought by President Donald Trump's legal team in several states seem to be getting slapped down left and right by judges -- not all of them known to be liberals.

On Sunday, Trump's legal team separated itself from famed attorney Sidney Powell, whose frequent tweets, news conferences and TV/radio interviews have made her quite ubiquitous of late. Apparently the Trumpster's legal beagles don't want to see the kraken -- or don't believe there is a kraken.... or something like that.

I am pessimistic that A) Trump's barristers really do have sufficient evidence of fraud to overturn what are believed to be the results of the presidential election; and  B) Even if they did, that there's enough time and there are judges willing to allow the evidentiary hearing process to play itself out.

There may well have been some deliberate computer shenanigans that miscounted votes, and perhaps we'll never know. There obviously are myriad problems with mail-in ballots: A larger, longer chain of custody poses problems, as do a lack of transparency, a dragged out process, outdated voter rolls, ballot harvesting, loosey-goosey standards on signatures, postmarks and deadlines, judges that move the goalposts in a random, arbitrary fashion. Indeed, the sloppiness, carelessness and incompetence may be as big a problem as the fraud.

One has to wonder: What if the news about Joe and Hunter Biden's sleazy dealings with China, Russia and Ukraine had been known several weeks before the election, AND the media had covered them with the same zealousness as they did the Russian collusion hoax. How many millions of those who voted by mail for Biden 3-6 weeks prior to Nov. 3 would have still voted for him?

And what if Pfizer and BioNTech had announced their vaccine breakthroughs just before Election Day rather than just after? Chances are, Trump would have cruised to re-election.

The great news is that, despite clueless predictions such as that of the Cook Report that Democrats would gain 10-15 seats in the U.S. House, the Republicans picked up at least 10 seats (and have an excellent chance to snag several more). Republicans are favored to win at least one, and quite possibly both, of the U.S. Senate seats in Georgia's Jan. 5 runoff. The GOP also fared well at the state level across the nation.

Another hopeful sign that voters have not bought into left-wing extremism is California's three ballot initiatives that didn't go the way the left wanted them to: The Golden State's voters rejected proposals on rent control, affirmative action, and a union-endorsed attempt to force "gig" companies to pay benefits and a minimum wage to their contractors. In the case of Lyft and Uber, for example, this would have destroyed their business model and the flexibility they offer their drivers. Many thousands of jobs would have been lost, and consumers' prices to catch a ride would have spiraled.

So there is still some common sense out there. But dangers do lurk. Requests for absentee ballots are up dramatically in Georgia prior to the Jan. 5 runoff election. Progressives are showering the Peach State's Democrat candidates with multi-millions of dollars, and even encouraging libs to move there and register to vote in an effort to swing the elections in Democrats' favor. (The latter is actually a felony.) Georgia's Republican Legislature must lay down the law asap -- before it's too late. Monitoring of the election, and maybe even a thorough audit conducted by an outside organization such as a respected accounting firm-- should be implemented. 

Maybe one benefit from this year's election fiasco (Memo to Democrats and their media stooges: It was secure and full of integrity like Portland is a model of peaceful protests) will be to force Republican lawmakers at both the state and federal level to crack down on the outrageously loose and lax laws, and the willingness to condone, if not actually advocate, voter fraud.

Make no mistake: The Democrats have been avid participants in voter fraud for many decades, going back to Tammany Hall and earlier. Perhaps voters are waking up to this. We can only hope, for the sake of our republic, our liberties, and the future of the world.

So what if there's no widespread voter fraud?
