So, during the 2016 election I know someone who voted at their precinct and was given an already filled out ballet – for the Ds. We've both wished MANY times we had better documented it then, but we didn't know any better. Anyway, this got me thinking today even more...
- This was in a solid red state (Alabama).
- Was in a solid red county.
- We've always heard about "people being bussed in" for elections around here. Mainly the small town/city elections. Call it conspiracy theory, but people have seen it.
Anyway, I wonder how many of these "blue" areas are really that blue? I wonder how many mayors actually won their races? The D run areas are some of the absolute worst in the state. Why would people continually vote for a failure?
I'm ready for our state to have an audit. Not just for presidency (tho that, too), but for the entire down ballot people and constitutional amendments. And not just for the blue parts, either.
Finally, the next election that rolls around we better be out working the polling locations and ensuring there's no funny business. Probably what's convicted me most is the lack of involvement I, and people I know, have in working at these places. For my state, here's the requirements: https://www.sos.alabama.gov/alabama-votes/become-poll-worker
You Utah local autists need to deep dig your property market. The same thing that happened to CA and then CO is happening here too. When you see bidding on housing above the asking price commonly, it means deep pockets are buying you out.
Also, if your local big land owners are leasing all excess farm land to corporations instead of developing new farmsteads your small towns will NEVER grow -- no new farmer citizens to replace the old. Eventually the self-determined citizen farmer will be extinct. Only the cities will grow, and the cities housing developers are China (Globalist) backed. They want to turn your residents into SERFS, paying rent to China to live in your state in condos, trailer park communities, townhomes, apartments, HOAs.
If you don't deep dive and paint the bigger picture, you can't inform the people and legislation to protect Utah wont happen.
