It matters not for whom anyone votes; what does matter is who counts the votes.

Democrats have been "counting" for DECADES. That is how LBJ got his Senate seat in 1948, the subject of an upcoming article.

We expected as much! This primary election mirrors the 2020 general election cheating. I believe many voters were lazy and believed the results would be slanted toward the Republicans so they rode the wave and figured their vote wasn’t necessary and there would be ample votes for an tidal wave of red. I pray this scenario didn’t occur often.

We still picked up three seats in the house when I checked earlier this pm. Good news is that “Fancy Nancy” will be booted out, and open doors widely for positive change, however, I was disappointed that AOC will return to the hill. I never believed people could hate like those voting with crazy Dems. Just to keep President Trump and those he endorsed, out of office. Very poor judgment.

Indeed. LBJ won his first elections thanks to the George Paar machine in South Texas, which voted dead people, Mexicans (alive and dead) and imaginary people. (Sound familiar?) The worst thing is, they weren't even secretive about it - pretty much everyone knew, and government employees were told to shut up, say nothing and look away. Nothing much has changed.

WOW! Are you a student of Texas history? Presidential history? I did a deep dive into LBJ in 2017. Yes, the Paar Machine in south Texas literally created votes for LBJ, just like in 2020, only on a smaller scale. He "won" by fewer than 100 votes. I have been under the weather so I have not yet written that article about Johnson & Biden being SO MUCH ALIKE!!!!!

The 2020 election was stolen with no consequences of a federal crime so they will try cheating again and again until states stop turning the other cheek. They have been cheating for decades but the voter manipulation and corruption became too aggressive as the election years went on.
