On Elections

 I remember when I was a kid, going to the polling place at the local junior high school. Everything about the polling place was clean, orderly and well organized. We had special voting booths which were only used for elections. I used to go into the booth with my dad when he voted. I had to behave myself because voting was serious business back then. The booth was plenty big enough for both of us. It had a curtain hanging over the entrance. The curtains were all the same: broad alternating vertical stripes of red and white. There were monitors guarding the booths to ensure that only one voter went in at a time. The voter was to remain undisturbed and in complete privacy. There were never any errors or disruptions. Everything always went smoothly. Voting day was like a religious holiday. Everybody got time off work to vote and some people were given the whole day off. Inside the voting booth there was a machine. The voter inserted their ballot into the machine and pulled the various levers to punch the appropriate hole in the ballot for the candidate they wished to vote for. The machine always worked. It was fail safe. There were never any disputes. The election monitors were very serious people. I do not know how they were chosen in those days but they were totally non-partisan. Election day was the second Tuesday in November and the election ended at midnight. When we woke up the next morning the results were announced. It didn't take three weeks to count the votes. There was no such thing as a mail-in ballot. No way. You've got to be kidding me. That concept would never have been tolerated. You had to vote at your local polling place and you had to be registered. There was no such thing as a motor-voter law. Nowadays, millions of undocumented immigrants are registered voters because they have drivers licenses. In the old days, there were no undocumented immigrants to speak of. We knew who the American people were and only the American people got to vote. I can tell you for a fact that nothing about voting in this day and age is free and fair. It doesn't take three weeks to count the vote. Sorry, that's bullshit. Apparently, it does take three weeks to manufacture enough mail-in ballots to throw an election though. We all just watched it happen. This isn't rocket science. All of my life, every single election went off without a hitch. There were never any delays. There was never any confusion. No ballot boxes were ever "found" two weeks after election day. Now all of the sudden, after two hundred and fifty years, we can no longer organize an election properly? Sure. I'll tell you what's going on. The people running the government have decided that they know better than everyone else. They do not care what the will of the people is. I mean, it's bad enough all of the rigging which went on in the past via the "two party system". But what is happening today is just beyond the pale. You don't have to try to explain it to me. The answer is simple just like the reality of the situation. The result is delayed for three weeks because they're rigging the election. It's the only logical explanation.
