Nobody Trusts Elections -- That’s the Crisis

 Nobody Trusts Elections -- That’s the Crisis - Brian C. Joondeph  

"Trust must be earned through transparency, consistent rules, and procedures that make fraud difficult and detection easy."

. . . "Contrast this with other developed democracies, where elections happen in a single day and results are known the same night or by the next morning. Or think about something closer to home: when Americans vote for a TV talent show winner, results are tabulated almost instantly. Yet, our republic needs weeks and teams of lawyers.

"Yet we are told that selecting the leader of the free world must be a lengthy, secretive process that takes weeks of uncertainty. This unnecessarily delays or complicates the already massive transition. 

"It also defies common sense, which is why both parties should support election integrity reforms, including the SAVE America Act currently before Congress. It has already passed in the House, and has reportedly crossed the 50-vote threshold for passage in the Senate.

"At its core, the SAVE America Act affirms a principle that should be uncontroversial: only U.S. citizens should vote in U.S. elections, and states should take reasonable steps to verify eligibility. Secure elections are not voter suppression; they are the foundation of representative government.

Schumer Vows to Fight SAVE Act Despite 83% Public Support   

Seventy-six percent of black respondents, 77% of Asian respondents, and 82% of Hispanic respondents supported requiring all voters to show photo ID to be able to cast a ballot, according to Pew Research Center’s August 2025 survey.

Schumer Gets Tripped Up Over Voter ID Question As Fetterman Remains Lone 'D' Voice of Reason  "Tapper: 83% of Americans including a majority of Democrats support voter ID.

Schumer: This is Jim Crow 2.0. MAGA doesn’t want poor people and people of color to vote. He’s going to just keep saying this no matter how buffoonish and absurd he looks, because he wants non-citizens to be able to vote.' " . . .

Chuck Schumer can't be happy with this.

More Schumer: Schumer Pushes Bill to Make the LGBTQ Pride Flag Equal to the American Flag – PJ Media    "In one of the most insulting moves ever, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is introducing legislation to make the LGBTQ pride flag a congressionally authorized symbol, giving it the same federal protections as the U.S. flag, military flags, and POW/MIA flags.

"Yes, you read that right.

"Chuck Schumer wants the pride flag to have the same status as Old Glory and the flags honoring those who served and sacrificed for this country." . . .

AOC: The Democrat leader in Congress and Choice for President

 AOC Crashes and Burns in Munich   "The script didn’t go as planned for AOC. On the upside, at least she finally knows what the real world is about and why it’s not as great as it might seem to have a magic mirror that always tells you who is the fairest of them all.

"It wasn’t just her long pause, her ums, and her uhs, as she tried to think of the right thing to say when asked about the US sending troops to protect Taiwan. That was bad enough." . . .

At Munich, Democrats demonstrate just how stupid they are - Monica Showalter    . . . "There were other idiots, and every one of them made a fool of himself or herself.

"What does anyone imagine the Europeans would think of this stupidity of these traveling Democrats following Rubio halfway around the world to Europe, only to fall on their faces, victims of their own ignorance and overweening ambition? I shudder to think what may come out in coming days." . . . 

This author then moves on to Hillary and Obama:

Broc Smith

"How easily she becomes angry and triggered, like anyone from the Left when confronted. She couldn’t address the idea that the Left had lost its mind and kept trying to put out the zingers. But all that did was make her seem even more out of touch.

"The legacy media does them no favors in protecting them from the truth. You wouldn’t want them flying overseas and making fools of themselves, right?" . . .
