Fraud on a Retail Scale: Electoral Manipulation Hits Home

I wrote previously about the industrial scale electoral fraud we have witnessed in these so-called elections. In that fraud, of course, hundreds of thousands of votes have appeared magically for Harris-Biden in just the right states, of course. Well, we in the Diplohouse have witnessed fraud right here in North Carolina.

Two days ago, grinding away at the gym trying to do something about my "lockdown" weight gain, I got a call from an unknown number. My habit consists of not answering such calls, but since it had a local area code, I did. You never know, perhaps Publishers Clearing House with my $50 million winnings, or the local branch of the Nobel Prize Committee? But, nah. It was the local Republican Party office calling to say that my wife's vote had been cancelled by the local board of elections (BOE). They said that the BOE claimed that my wife had tried to vote twice. The GOP has been checking on line whether those registered as Republicans had any trouble voting, and my wife's name had come up. I was livid.

When I got home, I went to the BOE website and looked up my wife's voter registration. Yes, indeed, her vote had been declared invalid, not just once but twice! I called the BOE and got put on hold for exactly 23 minutes and 52 seconds. The person who finally answered, an amiable dolt, listened to my complaint and said, and I quote, "I am sure her vote went through. That call you got is from a third party (AKA GOP) just trying to make trouble for us." I exploded, noting that the BOE website had my wife's vote tagged as invalid, not once but twice. "Oh," she said. "We will have to check." Put me on hold. After 11 minutes and 4 seconds, she came back and said I needed to speak to the office of "absentee and provisional" votes. I said that the Diplowife and I had voted early and in person and at the polling site where we were registered. Made no difference. I got transferred to the "absentee and provisional" office. The phone rang (I counted) 22 times before I hung up and called back the original BOE number.  

This time I only had to wait 3 minutes and 5 seconds before somebody new answered. I went through the explanation again, and this time got passed (5 minute and 8 second wait) to some manager woman who told me there had been a "clerical error." I unloaded about the grotesque incompetence I found in the BOE, and pointed out that when I monitored elections in Bolivia, Panama, and Guatemala, those countries did a better job than my American BOE. I got the standard, "I am sorry you FEEL that way." Does a more stupid phrase than that exist? Well, I mean, with the possible exception of, "I am speaking." Anyhow, she said that all the votes would get "reconciled" on November 13. The elections took place November 3! We voted October 15! On the magical date of November 13, my wife's vote would get tabulated. I told the "manager" that I believed nothing of what she had told me. "I am sorry you feel that way." I said I would check on November 13.

I told my son this story and he related that two of his friends in Charlotte, big Trump supporters, also had their votes declared "invalid return" although they had voted in person on November 3.

Fraud as far as the eye can see . . . 

I went to my local gun store, had to make my way through a pretty good size crowd, and bought a new STI Staccato 9mm, compact version, made in Texas. The full size Staccato I have is by far the most accurate gun I have ever fired. And, yes, that is the way I FEEL . . . and I am speaking . . . 

UPDATE: Notified on November 10 that the "clerical error" has been corrected and my wife's vote accepted. Yeah . . . .
