Peloni: Election fraud truly is the only topic on the ballot in November because if the public are not in control of election outcomes in a representative democracy, not only are they not in control of anything, but they are not represented and they have no democracy. Hence, should America fail to restore the authority of the electorate over the government in November, liberty in America will be as much of a relic of the past as tyranny had once thought to be. Indeed, the loss of authority over a constitutional government renders that government as arbitrary in nature and signals a death knell to liberty. Unlike most democracies, however, the American people have maintained the grit and temerity which was first embodied in the Founding Fathers, and have a momentary opportunity to recapture the authority over the govt which they lost in the winter of 2020. Hence, though it is true in every election that each person must weigh their vote as if their lives will depend upon the election’s outcome, it must be understood that in this moment the American people are fighting to regain their role as the reigning Sovereign in the US, to wrest it back from the power barons who now hold dominion over the country. Indeed, either the consent of the governed will be returned to govern over America following November’s election, or something far more sinister will come to replace the dignity of men in that nation, and this determination will be set in stone in less than one month’s time.

No, it’s not “the economy, stupid,” in spite of the schizophrenic stock market since our remarkably resilient capitalistic economy ran head-on into the socialist-cum-communist Biden-Harris regime, with its $1.8-trillion deficit.
And no, it’s not domestic policy, where we have had the luxury of being on the receiving end of these:
- High taxes.
- High food prices.
- High gas prices.
- Sky-high regulations.
- Alarmingly high crime rates throughout the country, particularly in states run by Democrats, where arrests are few, bail is nonexistent, and raging criminals enjoy no consequences for their assaults, rapes, murders, racist attacks, etc.
- Eleven million illegal and unvetted aliens are further draining our economy thanks to the largesse of this regime, which is housing them in fancy hotels and providing food, health care, iPhones, education for their children, and even monthly stipends that are higher than what American families and veterans receive.
And no, it’s not foreign policy, in which:
- We’ve spent trillions of dollars supporting thugs like Zelensky in Ukraine but couldn’t find the funds, as ace investigative journalist Kelleigh Nelson spells out, to help the ravaged victims of the government-manipulated hurricanes Helene and Milton in several southern “red” states. Talk about an October surprise!
- There are now five wars that didn’t exist four years ago — in Yemen, Darfur, Myanmar, Ukraine, and Israel — costing us more trillions of dollars and precious lives.
- The Biden-Harris regime is indefensibly antagonistic to our trusted and invaluable ally, Israel, as it has waffled on its support and threatened an arms embargo for that tiny Jewish state, surrounded and at war with seven menacing enemies whose charters call for its annihilation and death to every Jew on Earth. And yet we have a president who threatens Israel not to destroy the Iranian nukes.
Crunch Time
Clearly, the only thing Democrats have cared about for the past hundred years is winning elections at any cost, the better to inflict their strangulating socialist/communist and now Islamist style of government on the American people.
And in the past four years in particular, they’ve been maniacally obsessed with lodging phony lawsuits against President Trump in order to ensure that he is not re-elected, even if the perpetual sore losers of the left have to buy the guns they say they hate in order to assassinate him.
Why? Because the business mogul and non-politician Citizen Trump won the 2016 election by exposing the following:
- “The swamp’s” systemic lawlessness, corruption, and treason.
- The Democrats’ America-Last policies.
- The leftist bias of the bought-and-paid-for media whores.
- The Democrat racism that has kept blacks uneducated, impoverished, and imprisoned for decades on end because of the welfare system they created that promises food, housing, education, medical care, etc. to women and says they can have as many children as they desire, with only one ironclad rule: if you get married, you lose all benefits! Hence, tragically, the decades of broken families.
- The horrific trade deals that benefited foreign nations but not America.
- The fallacy that no Mideast peace is possible without striking a deal with the hostile-to-Israel Arabs who insist on calling themselves “Palestinians.” Really? See President Trump’s colossally successful Abraham Accords.
- The craven deals that made our country dependent on foreign oil by — poof! — making America completely energy independent.
As I often and regretfully state, because of space limitations, the above is the short list.
A Method to Their Madness
Dozens of books have spelled out in scandalous detail how Democrats have stolen elections over the past many decades by enlisting the votes of illegal aliens, absentee voters who simply don’t exist, and of course dead voters. Among the most riveting are John Fund’s Stealing Elections: How Voter Fraud Threatens Our Democracy and Eric Eggers’s Fraud: How the Left Plans to Steal the Next Election.
Then there is ballot-harvesting, a scheme used almost exclusively by Democrats to, ahem, win elections. How does it work? According to political commentator Stephen Frank, someone — a campaign worker, a minor, an illegal, etc. — goes door to door to “help” people fill out ballots that strangely favor Democrats, and refuses to collect ballots from anyone they suspect of voting the “wrong” way. They even pay them to vote the “right way.”
Intimidation is common, and nothing stops them from altering ballots or throwing out ballots for the undesired candidate.
According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, in 2020, 26 states allowed this fraudulence, a practice that was aggressively and successfully challenged by Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch.
And let’s not omit the now-defunct ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) — a massive group of over 500,000 members that operated nationwide since 1970, registering voters and helping people sign up for government-financed programs.
ACORN was exposed for its criminal activities in 2009 by James O’Keefe, founder of The Veritas Project, resulting in multiple convictions for massive voter fraud in several states. It closed its doors in 2010, although it is believed that splinter groups formed and are active to this day.
Writer Barbara Kralis maintains that “America’s election mail-in ballot scam has been a huge problem the last four national elections. Democrats and organized union officials keep ‘miraculously’ finding lost mail-in ballot boxes (fake ballots) on the days following each of the last four elections,” leading to highly suspect Democrat victories. And Dinesh D’Souza’s film 2000 Mules shows in real time how the massive fraud of the 2020 election was executed. Jaw-dropping!
Let Me Count the Ways
Just the other day, Kamala Harris’s Department of Justice — in a can’t-make-it-up act — sued the state of Virginia for removing illegals from its voter rolls!
The last time I kept track of such desperate — and illegal — measures was just a few years ago. Here is just a tiny sampling of the vote-rigging methods, used exclusively by Democrats, that I discovered.
- In a Florida primary, more than 35,000 mail-in ballots were rejected, and over 100,000 ballots were rejected in California.
- Georgia authorities reveal 1,000 people double-voted in primary using absentee ballots.
- More than 534,000 mail ballots were rejected during primaries across 23 states — nearly a quarter in key battlegrounds for the fall (Townhall).
- In North Carolina, voters reported receiving two ballots in the mail.
- A top PA lawmaker called on the state to immediately expunge the names of 11,198 non-citizens whom the state confirmed are registered to vote despite not being eligible.
- FBI Found Discarded Military Mail-in Ballots Cast for Trump
- Election Watchdog Finds 350,000 Dead Registrants on Voter Rolls in 42 States.
- GA Investigating 1,000 Cases of Voter Fraud
- The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) of Indiana found the following: there may be as many as 350,000 dead people still registered to vote in U.S. elections. New York, Texas, Michigan, Florida, and California accounted for 51 percent of the dead registrants; 40,000 likely duplicate voters may have voted twice; many state registrars have been forbidden to cull their voter rolls by the courts because hysterical Democrats claim that some voters might be disenfranchised. Nevada’s largest county sent out more than 200,000 mail-in primary ballots to the wrong addresses, while 84,000 mail-in presidential primary ballots cast in N.Y. City were disqualified.
- Again, California political commentator Stephen Frank reports, “Trump IS Right: Post Office Is Discarding, Hiding Absentee Ballots!” (Well, whaddaya know? Joe Biden just received the endorsement of the National Postal Mail Handlers Union!)
You get the picture.
Partners in Crime
Linda Goudsmit, author of The Book of Humanitarian Hoaxes: Killing America with ‘Kindness’ and the just-released Space Is No Longer the Final Frontier — Reality Is, sees the upcoming election as another “sinister leftist, Islamist, globalist attack on America.”
“We are only weeks away from the 2024 election,” she said, and “the enemies of America are desperate and behaving like cornered animals poised for attack. Their survival is at stake because if POTUS 45 is re-elected, he will take down the Deep State and expose them all. They know it and Trump knows it.”
Goudsmit’s point is really the crux of the Democrats’ desperation these past four years. With a Trump victory, you can be sure that over the next few months, the powers that be will be handing out dozens of indictments to the many criminals from Barack Obama’s Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Justice, Central Intelligence Agency, Homeland Security, State Department, and every other department of our government, including the military, in which Obama implanted his hate-America agents to commit either sedition or treason in the name of actualizing a genuine coup d’état against both a sitting president and America the Beautiful itself
With now three assassination attempts, I only hope that President Trump has a dozen private armed guards and a food-taster!

The title “… the Only Issue That Matters” is spot on. Be absolutely certain that the Democrats will brazenly exercise as much fraud as possible, thinking that they will get a pass just like they did in 2020. I’m thinking, however, that much of the country might not take it lying down. Is anyone taking bets on what will happen if the Dems pull it off again?
Reports already surfacing that the Dominion electronic voting machines in a country in Georgia (represented by Marjorie Taylor-Greene) is flipping their selections. Next we learned this same thing has happened in Shelby County, Tennessee. The third state where this has been reported is Texas. In Pennsylvania a woman reported that her mail in ballot had a mail-in envelope already sealed. This means that if she opened and re-sealed it, the officials could claim her ballot was tampered with and thus invalidate her ballot.
A homeowner in LA county found undelivered mail along with a dozen mail in ballots in a storm drain near his house.
The difference between 2020 and 2024 is the large number of wide awake Americans of all ethnic backgrounds now. In the past, the cheaters attempted to hide their cheating. Now apparently it is being done in the open.
My guess is, these are desperate last ditch efforts. The support for Trump is much higher than it was in the two prior elections. It is more broad based support than in the past. The mayor of the only Muslim city in America, that of Hamtramck, Michigan, just came out and endorsed Donald Trump. Not only is US support for Trump broad, but there is international support as well: A choir in Japan just posted their support for Donald Trump on X as they sang, “God Bless America.”
I don’t doubt the criminals who fear Donald Trump’s presidency will try all kinds of things between now and election day, or between election day and Inauguration day.
The government appears to be looking for a predicate to call for Martial Law and use the military for “law enforcement.” However, it is unclear that members of the military would even act on orders to arrest innocent civilians because the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 forbids it.
Thank you Peloni…
@keelie
A very interesting perspective. Indeed, I quite agree with you. In fact, Israel and the US have a common thread in their origin, and that is that they are the result of a distilling of the old world, as it were. While the distilling process for each is uniquely divined and separately motivated and the geographic distinctions of the old world for each is not perfectly aligned, each was formed from those who were fleeing oppression and looking to form a nation based on similar values. And notably, one of the things which was most alluring to Americans about Israel was arguably a sense of pluck and defiance, something which I suspect they saw similarly reflected in their understanding of themselves.
So I greatly appreciate and completely concur with your added insights on this topic, very much so, in fact.
Thanks for your comments Peloni. I appreciate what you say…
It just sprang to mind that the closest we can come to overthrowing tyranny against all the odds, is perhaps what Israel is doing despite what seems like the entire world being against it. It’s not a great comparison, but in order for Israel to do what it is doing, and doing it incredibly well, it has had to “fight off” both “allies” and foes, although there are very few of the former vs the latter.
It takes grit to do this, and this is what I suspect the people of the US have lots of, in general terms.
@keelie
It is a fair criticism which you raise. Still, in response, I would simply question what historic model of govt in which tyranny overthrew liberty was fought back after such a coup had been secured in place, as what is being contemplated with the coming steal of the 2024 election. In fact, there is no such historic reference to describe such a belated restoration of liberty. To be certain, there are many coups and counter coups throughout history where one oligarchic/despotic faction is restored to power over another such tyrannical group, but in terms of liberty fighting back tyranny, the historic examples are far less readily available.
Nonetheless, I appreciate your reflection on this point, and out of a hopeful optimism that America might be the first to secure such a return of liberty, I will amend the preface to reflect your insightful comment.
Peloni: I’m not sure if the word “forever” should be used at the end of your piece… After all, nothing is forever…
