For many Republicans, the final midterm election results were surprising— especially in the states of Arizona, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. Based on polling, it looked likely that Kari Lake, Adam Laxalt, and Mehmet Oz would win their contests. I believe that there are only three likely explanations for the unexpected results: late campaign surges, polling error, or aggressive ballot-harvesting.
A late surge?
Some Republicans are falling for an illogical narrative put forth by Democrats and the mainstream media.

There is a fourth explanation. Maricopa County, AZ had rampant cheating. Machine failures and "poor" ballot handling.

At the end of the article Joe tells Republicans not to ballot harvest because it's a dirty and dishonest practice. And he ponders that maybe "someday" a whistleblower will step forward and we can prosecute them.
And maybe someday pigs will fly Joe. I say it's time we started ballot harvesting.

A combinations of many factors; harvesting, cheating, MSM (Propaganda wing of the Democrat party), and the Republicans doing nothing about it.

The author’s conclusion that ballot harvesting tilted the vote to the Democrats is correct. Where he is absolutely incorrect is his plea for Republicans not to indulge in the practice. If they want to win races in Nevada or California they need to do what the Democrats do.

The Democrats cheat.
Then they legalize the cheating process.
The next step will be only Democrats can do it which means Republicans will not be allowed to harvest ballots.
Our system of government requires honest leadership and an honest electorate. We do not have that anymore.
Guess this is what things look like when the country begins to fall apart.

Despite the Trump signs festooning Maricopa County, Phoenix and all the many towns surrounding Phoenix, few in Arizona were surprised by the result, knowing as they did that Hobbs had charge of counting the votes. The Dems set all this up in 2016 but got cocky and lazy. By 2020 they had it down. They'll never lose another important election in Arizona. Nor will they win. They'll "win."

Democrats have perfected the practice of dragging out the count of close races until they win.

Bottom line…stop the cheats, prosecute severely (dare I say to the point of execution). To start cheating is a ridiculous road to nowhere. It becomes a contest of cheating and integrity is lost in everything we do.

When your "value system" is amoral, when lies spill out of the mouth with more alacrity and satisfaction than truth or the pursuit of it, when power is the ultimate acquisition, much more lusted after than good governance and the maintenance of our Constitutional Republic, when your affections lean toward some idea of world government than love for your Country and you shudder at the thought of "America First", then stealing elections is the premier work of art.
Power, political power and all that affords, power-mad people are in all levels of our government, all Branches. NOTHING else matters to them, these triple-A control-freaks.

I say stop the computerized transfer of 'vote counts' using thumb drives and online transfers.
This is in addition to all the OTHER vote-rigging. A 'misplaced' thumb drive can have -thousands- of votes 'lost' or switched.
I say that every voting location tally their votes AT THAT LOCATION, publicly post the numbers, then publicly and openly transfer those numbers 'up the line' to the next tally facility, until finally it is totaled for the entire race.
Make it open, so that EVERYONE can see the numbers, write them down, and check the arithmetic themselves!

Our country is being stolen out from under us, while we are glued to our iphones and conveniences.
The question is....What are we going to do about it, and have we waited too long?

Of course democrats stole what they could not win. It is their go to strategy. I don’t understand how regular Americans can see this in your face fraud but our vaunted Republican leadership cannot for the life of them, grasp this fact. Nothing will change because the people who should be screaming about this just ignore it. One of the biggest political stars in the country had the rug pulled out from under her. Kari Lake is an awesome candidate, the people love her and she is articulate, confident, and a real threat to the status quo. Like Sarah Palin before her, there is no way the left was going to allow someone like Lake to grab a foothold in politics. Old Republican fossils completely agree with them. She’s pro-Trump and that puts a huge target in her back. They are not going to let anyone with her natural political skill to get in the game. She is exactly the kind of candidate that both parties abhor. She fought hard against a total loser who would not even debate her. It was a little bit of Déjà vu all over again. Kari Lake is a powerhouse and the status quo had to take her down and they did.
Democrat cheating and Republican apathy and unwillingness to confront it is why good effective people lost. This will continue until Republicans decide to get serious about election fraud, but it is clear to me they have no desire to even look that way. We are being betrayed by our own party.

This represents yet again the glaring difference in voting strategies between the two major parties: the republicans campaign for votes. The dims harvest votes. The latter was perfected by the dims during the Great Election Fraud of 2020. How else do we think biden the cheater "win" by hiding in his basement.
Until ballot-harvesting and mail-in voting is outlawed, expect this fraud to continue. To expect the pubbies to respond in kind by launching massive ballot-harvesting operations of their own is a real tough one. If they did so, America's election processes will have been completely bastardized and there would be no sense in having public elections anymore. And congress would choose presidents, vice presidents, senators, and representatives. Or is this the ultimate aim of the left.
Currently, Arizona, PA, and Nevada are ground-zero for the dims' ballot-harvesting operations. If a major housecleaning operation of the affected states is ever going to happen, each state's pubbies even though they are in a minority must step up and find a way.
But just think for a minute what is the dims' ace in the hole - amnesty and the right to vote for all 15+ million illegals. The current 117th congress could ram through an amnesty bill that biden the cheater could sign into law well before the current congress is dissolved. Pubbies in the Senate and House, are you ready to beat this down.

Until some righteous, godly folks get in power and change our voting system, republicans better
play the Left's game, or we will lose this Country. And that means ballot harvesting and where it is legal, ballot boxes.
Because Biden promised, illegally and which the courts ruled illegal, $20,000 in Student Loan Forgiveness, the Left placed ballot boxes in AZ in the campus' of the Universities and Colleges. A little vote buying you think? What's ironic is the students who voted for this, got taken. The federal courts ruled the EO illegal.
Kari Lake still won as Governor with the votes, but with the Left in charge and crooked Hobbs counting the votes illegally (she's running for Governor as she's counting the votes for herself). This is Biden hiding in his basement all over again!
If the AZ Supreme Court doesn't rule this illegal, then this nation is lost. The person running for governor is counting the votes? Give me a break! That's crooked! Pray people, pray. Kari Lake will win, but we must pray against evil forces!

Our legal system precedent holds true in elections, as well - it's not "yours" if you stole it, nor if you committed fraud to obtain it, in other words, it's not a "win" if illegality and cheating was involved and can be proved.
Elections should never be accepted when clear proof of fraud is involved. Strong protest is certainly in order.

Re: #4 - The author does not want Republicans to ballot harvest because it is synonymous with cheating; however, the only way to see a democrat or RINO-run state ban the practice is for the opposition (Republicans) to hyper-harvest, ensuring that 100% of the harvested ballots are for Republicans, even if it balloons the state's voter population 2X. Overwhelm the system with ballots and keep a straight face on the TV news as you claim democrats clearly want to overturn the will of the people. Beat them badly at their own game and they'll quit and change the rules. The only other way is based in 1776 and it is to rise up and throw off their illegitimate rule by killing them and confiscating their stuff.

This is all leading to civil war.
Everything has been corrupted and it appears the only way to correct the problem is war.

No! Republicans should not try to outdo the Democrats in ballot harvesting/cheating. We need to work toward a better informed populace and voting practices that prevent fraud rather than facilitating it. I don’t want the amoral dems to keep winning by cheating and I also do not want the government to be controlled by the party that is able to cheat better. Recent cheating must be proven and revealed to the masses. Those guilty of voter fraud get fined and serve time. Let’s clean it up instead of expanding the fraud

Another explanation is that the McCains and Romneys are against Nation States and for endless wars.
I am very grateful to President Trump because during his watch many of US became wealthy. Peace and Prosperity = MAGA. War = Democrat and Republican establishments.

There are piles of evidence along with a well done documentary that prove voter fraud by mostly Democrats. Until the Republicans stop their phony hand wringing over ‘election deniers’ and start blowing this wide open we are doomed to pointless elections that will never be won. If we end up with McCarthy as Speaker that will not happen.
