Caught On Video: Concerned citizen sees ballots being transported in private vehicles & transferred to rented truck on Election night. This violates all chain of custody requirements for paper ballots. Were the ballots destroyed & replaced by set of fake ballots? Investigate now!

FLORIDA ( Nov 16, 2018 11:45 AM) . . .But an email obtained by the USA TODAY NETWORK – Florida shows that Florida Democrats were organizing a broader statewide effort beyond those counties to give voters the altered forms to fix improper absentee ballots after the Nov. 5 deadline. Democratic party leaders provided staffers with copies of a form, known as a “cure affidavit,” that had been modified to include an inaccurate Nov. 8 deadline. One Palm Beach Democratic activist said in an interview the idea was to have voters fix and submit as many absentee ballots as possible with the altered forms in hopes of later including them in vote totals if a judge ruled such ballots were allowed.

TALLAHASSEE (11/16/2018 03:19 PM EST) — After getting crushed in the 2018 midterms, the Florida Democratic Party is now playing defense after staffers sent altered state election documents to voters, a move state officials have asked federal prosecutors to investigate.

The issue arose after state party staff sent voters forms that are intended to fix vote-by-mail ballots that had been initially rejected. Those forms, which are official state documents, were sent with altered dates, leading the Florida Department of State to turn over the paperwork to several U.S. attorneys and request an inquiry into the “irregularities.”

After saying earlier in the week that the state officials were trying “divert attention” away from the Department of State, which is part of Gov. Rick Scott’s administration, the Democrats on Friday took a different approach: They lawyered up.

Commentary: Recently, Facebook took down Lara Trump’s interview with former President Donald Trump, warning that Trump’s content was banned on the platform. In doing this, Facebook made a new escalation in its censorship project. First, Facebook took the position Trump could not post because his claims of election fraud, leading up to the events of Jan. 6, posed a clear and present danger to the peaceful transfer of power. Second, Facebook said Trump could not post at all, in a sense implying that even his future posts might pose a similar danger. Now Facebook has taken it a step further by taking the position that even interviews with Trump conducted by others cannot be posted. Trump, let’s remember, is still the leading figure in the Republican Party, the most prominent voice of opposition, and a potential candidate in the 2024 presidential race. And Facebook and other media platforms even seem …

There is great media focus on the Republican-dominated legislatures determined to unfairly reduce, restrict, or eliminate likely Democratic Party voters — just look at the Major League Baseball All-Star Game dust-up over proposed Georgia voting laws. Since those voters are often minorities, the suppression efforts are both unethical and racist. The antiseptic view of the phenomena, however, is that those GOP legislatures would rewrite election laws to benefit the Black and Brown population if they were reliable Republican voters.

The political party in power suppresses the opposition, regardless of whether they are Republicans or Democrats. Denying representation can be shamelessly overt or subtly disguised. The more dominant a party is, the more opportunity there is to manipulate voter participation and election outcomes.  As more elected offices are won, the dominant party is emboldened to further suppress the opposition and increase their hold on power.

When Democrats are in a majority, they are just as eager to squelch fair voting and representation that doesn’t comport with their agenda. Gerrymandering (delineating voting districts to facilitate preferred outcomes) is one example where Democrats and Republicans are equally enthusiastic. The majority party draws electoral boundaries to their advantage.

The public relations advantage for Democrat suppression is that their manipulation of voting districts is less likely to correlate with racial bias. Here in Colorado, our divide is more commonly urban vs. rural viewpoints in local elections. Urban voting districts with a high proportion of Democrat voters exercise undue influence over their rural neighbors because Colorado counties with populations of less than 70,000 are required to employ At-Large voting for county commissioner elections. The practice allows one voting block to win all elected seats, not just their proportionate share.

This is a practice that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg described as a preeminent second-generation way to deny equal opportunity to minority voters and candidates (Shelby County, Alabama v. Holder, Attorney General – 2013). At-Large voting is banned in all federal elections, but Colorado Democrats have fought off every appeal to do the same for our local elections because it works in their favor.
