peloni1986: Honeybee is rarely wrong.
@Sebastien
LOL….Honeybee is quite correct about your witty humor.
@Peloni
I actually am very much in agreement with local democracy so I agree with your ideas. I was thinking how these drop off boxes were a problem so was thinking to myself maybe one overall rule to deliver your vote in person would be a good rule. That’s what I meant by passing one national law.
@Felix
I know the reason that this would seem the wiser path to you and others, but it is the path to permanent corruption and immutable tyranny.
“One ring to rule them all” is a policy too easily twisted to doom them all, quoting from a good friend of mine.
The Founding Fathers organized their experimental endeavor around the view that power would be best exercised and most representative of the will of the people by keeping it closest to the people. This is why the Constitution enumerates the powers of the Federal govt, and forsakes all other powers to be within the purview of the States and Local govts. The consequence of this is a dual edged sword, placing the authority with the more local govts as well as the responsibility of meeting the costs associated with exercising those authorities at the local level as well. Among the tasks left to the local authorities to govern is the election process. It makes for a more deliberative decision making process by the very people who will both benefit from the secured elections as well as being responsible for the costs for the process of making the elections secure. The details of election laws will vary from one locality to the next, as the needs of Queens NY will wildly vary from those of Niobrara County, Wyoming, for instance.
Consequently, all election details are held at the local level, far from the reach and aspirations of the Federal Govt. This was not only a desire envisioned by the Founding Fathers, but is likewise also the only reason the 2020 election fraud is still within our grasp to explore and reveal. For example, how many of the local govts either violated local laws by not setting up cameras around drop boxes or later ordered the video to be destroyed. Gladly, these corrupt practices were not exercised universally from a central authority in every locality, which is why True The Vote had access to the data they demonstrated in the 2000 Mules movie, but herein lies the spirited celebration of the foresight and wisdom of the Founding Fathers in holding the election process at a decentralized, local level. By holding the elections as a responsibility of the local govt, the decentralized control of the election process left the perpetrators to coordinate a broad election theft without the ability to avoid leaving evidentiary footprints that could lead us back to those responsible for executing the crime.
With the assistance of modern technology, telecommunications and foreign influences, the election of 2020 was stolen, but with an inconsistency that allowed enough evidence to persist, despite the best efforts of the perpetrators to the contrary, and this was due to the decentralization of the election process and the inconsistency of a single election authority across the US. Of course, the perpetrators also took advantage of the election decentralization by targeting the 6 counties in an extreme coordinated fashion, above a more routine level likely employed throughout the country, but their gross exercise of fraud was in clear violation of existing election law, while the legal institutions empowered to enact those laws acted to forsake their responsibilities of law enforcement and adjudicating violations of these laws. [Aside: Herein is where the true crime of the 2020 election fraud was actually perpetrated – the captured legal/judicial institutions were redirected away from any official detection or prosecution of the fraud while simultaneously weaponizing such official organizations towards the persecution and interference of every attempt by the public to expose the fraud.]
Hence, whereas I agree with your intent of election reform and the principles which you cite, it is quite pivotal that these reforms and principles be maintained and exercised at the local level, with the consent of the local communities. To your list I would add live streaming the vote count, paying poll watchers as well as the vote counters and election officials, eliminating any role of NGOs and corporations within the activity of any election, significant prison sentences for deviations of election laws… These principles could be organized and developed at the national level as a goal, but it would be a mistake, IMHO, to not maintain the authority of election law at a state or local level where the public would have the greatest input on such vital legal statutes.
Likewise, it would also require an amendment to the Constitution to secure the Federal overreach associated with Federal election “reform” which would simply secure the fraud from any local oversight. That is, of course, if the SCOTUS were to act to support the Constitution over the will of the expanding Federal govt.
Peloni to regularise not by state but by the whole United States of America, absolutely one law, one ballot one time one identity one day and finally pay the counters well and have very spacious premises. No postal no machines. Just the simpler the better.
From George News:
The problem is that this is not really news, as this has been known for months, yet, in that time, nothing has been done to remedy this situation.
The authority and responsibility that could and should be exercised by local sheriff’s is significant and vital to the restoration of legitimate govt in the US. Local sheriff’s need to act to secure the prosecutions that the state and federal govts have abandoned all pretense of safeguarding. As Yuma County Sheriff’s Office is acting to secure their past and present local elections, every other sheriff’s office needs to follow their lead and the general public needs to voice their solid support for these critical efforts to restore democratic norms to the American Republic. Full transparency of election security provides the keystone from which all democratic functions and agency flows. The violation of these sacred trusts must be exposed, prosecuted and remedied from recurrence. Only by doing so, can the proper balance be restored between the governed and their government with the return of the institution of the consent of the governed.
