US should be wary of Democrats using mail voting to cheat

Jerry Newcombe:

There’s an old joke that goes like this: How does a lifelong conservative voter in Chicago switch to being a liberal voter? He dies. cheating in elections.

If the left is so great and their ideas are so fantastic, then how come they often have to cheat to win elections?

During the coronavirus, with its extraordinary upending of our regular life, some want to use this crisis to permanently change how we vote in this country. This reminds me of the left’s slogan, “Never let a crisis go to waste.”

On March 16, the A.P. reported on a new law in Chicago whereby prisoners can vote in prison (not just by absentee ballot): “A state law enacted last summer requires that Illinois’ 20,000 pretrial detainees be given the opportunity to vote. That means absentee ballots must be distributed in every jail in the state. But the law also requires that any county with more than 3 million residents set up voting machines in the jail. Cook was the only county to qualify.”

On April 3, CNN observed, “The coronavirus crisis has prompted new calls to expand access to voting ahead of November’s election and intensified the long-running partisan fight over voting rights…. And House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said she wants money dedicated to vote-by-mail to be part of the next coronavirus bill.”

It may sound good, but some of the left’s tactics have been designed to basically steal the vote.

The left has been pushing for illegal immigrants to be able to vote. And every time an illegitimate vote is cast, it nullifies a legitimate vote that is cast.

As we face the critical election this year, 2020, we do well to stay on guard against any means from anybody to steal our vote. Veteran journalist Bob Knight wrote a book, Liberty on the Brink, on the left’s efforts to falsify elections.

In a TV interview, he told me, “One thing is to allow millions of illegal immigrants into the country, not keep track of them, and then weaken the voting laws….In the book, I go through several ways they do this. They fight voter ID laws, which are very common-sense laws because everybody agrees on them.”

Scott Powell, a senior fellow with the Discovery Institute, told me: “In America, you have to have an identification to fly, to buy alcohol, to drive a car. Voting in an election is one of the more important things an American citizen can do, and there should be unanimous support for voter identification. Without voter identification, we are more likely to have electoral fraud, and that can swing elections in key areas.”

One of the critical strategies of the left to try and sway the outcome of upcoming elections is a movement to abolish the Electoral College. But that was a brilliant concept by the founders in the Constitution itself to allow for states across the nation to have their say in the outcome of the election for president. The left just wants the big cities (usually liberal) to decide.
...

One of the other ways the left cheats is with so-called "ballot harvesting." 

I just do not trust Democrats not to cheat if they are giving any opportunity.  We should have voter ID and in-person voting in virtually all elections.  Opposition to voter ID is a racist concept by Democrats to allow them to cheat.  Blacks, Hispanics, and elderly people are all capable of getting a voter ID card and most already have ID's they use for normal functions of life in this country.  I oppose mail-in voting for all but those who are away from home on election day.
