Remember when democrats said: ‘Our elections are the safest and most secure in the world’ and ‘don’t you dare suggest otherwise, else you’re a QAnon-adjacent conspiracy theorist trying to disenfranchise minority voters’?
Well, they’ve since had a mood swing. Or perhaps it was a tactic-of-thievery swing. The following from westernjournal.com.
Recently, democrats claimed, ‘We need $5 billion in election security grants because elections won’t be secure enough if they’re run like they were run in 2020.’
What?
Read between the lines: We cheated in 2020 which was all well and good, however, you’re on to us so we need to double our efforts and mask them with added security.
In a letter to [The Regime handlers which was] authored by Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and signed by almost three dozen Democrat senators, upper-chamber party legislators argued because of the record number of voters in the last presidential election “to help both state and local election officials modernize their voting equipment, improve the administration of elections, and strengthen cybersecurity for election systems.”
In the Tuesday letter, Klobuchar—along with 32 other senators, representing a majority of the democrat senatorial caucus—argued that $5 billion in funding is needed for election security grants in the 2023 budget.
The reason was the roughly 160 million Americans who voted in 2020, numerically the most in American history. Again, the letter parroted the line from Department of Homeland Security cybersecurity expert Christopher Krebs that the election was the “most secure in American history”—but the senators said that was only because of 2018 and 2020 election security grants from Congress as well as CARES Act funding.
“While past funding has been critical, we must continue to help both state and local election officials modernize their voting equipment, improve the administration of elections, and strengthen cybersecurity for election systems,” the letter read.
“Six states still widely use voting systems that do not produce paper ballots. The EAC also recently approved an updated version of the voluntary voting system guidelines that will lead to investments in more modern voting systems.
“In addition, election officials are facing a surge in threats and harassment that have left many worried for their safety, raising concerns about the ability of state and local governments to retain and recruit officials, workers, and volunteers for future elections.”
The letter cited an analysis that stated that, over the next 10 years, “$50 billion would be needed for election administration and security. Based on this analysis, a group of Secretaries of State and Chief Election Officials have also requested that the federal government provide $5 billion in election grants for FY 2023.”
This includes “[p]atching critical cybersecurity vulnerabilities” and “[i]nvesting in election management equipment, including ballot sorters, envelope openers and stuffers, and ballot verification technology.”
“While funding is not a substitute for Congress passing comprehensive legislation to protect the freedom to vote and stop the ongoing attacks on our democracy, we must ensure that state and local election officials continue to receive the resources needed to administer, improve, and modernize our elections,” the letter read.
Never mind that legislation would substantially weaken voting security in numerous ways, we’re apparently going to flog that dead horse until it gets up and gallops.
Let’s face the facts, American voters, of this democrat bipolar disorder:
Either America has an electoral system that safely and securely handled 160 million votes that were cast in 2020 or America needs tens of billions of dollars in grants over the next decade to protect it from cybersecurity threats, among other things.
If the system worked so darned well in 2020, why demand all this money be thrown at it now and for an additional ten years?
Again, what seems to be occurring here is the democrats misidentifying a problem and consequently misidentifying a solution.
Final thought, a statement of fact and a recommendation: Following a proper evaluation and diagnosis, mood stabilizers have been known to be very effective. The democrat-communist party, as a whole, may be well served by voluntarily accepting or having forced upon them an attitude adjustment. This may also well serve the entire nation.
God speed to Conservatism.
And may God bless America.
