And if you think otherwise, you\u2019re not only unhinged, but you might be a domestic terrorist.<\/p>\n<p>This is the gaslighting we have been getting from our political class and the media over the last two federal election cycles. It is purposeful propaganda meant to obscure the truth that our betters have fundamentally transformed voting policies and practices, and then exploited the new rules to the maximum extent.<\/p>\n<p>The reality is that those skeptical about the integrity in our brave new election world are not a \u201cthreat to democracy.\u201d They are defenders of the republic. America is in serious danger if the public unquestioningly accepts the fact that authorities made radical changes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/where-do-we-go-to-get-the-integrity-of-our-vote-back_3709423.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sometimes unduly<\/a> and under cover of crisis, that made less safe, secure, or at minimum trustworthy the processes by which we elect our representatives. <\/p>\n<p>For decades we voted one way: In-person, with identification, on a singular Election Day, usually with rudimentary, analog tools. With rare exceptions, we received the results on Election Night. In the 2020 election, that all changed. For the first time in modern history, we had a mass mail-in election, held over the course of weeks, much of it automated. The results came in over a period of days, not hours.<\/p>\n<p> The \u2018Shadow Campaign\u2019 That Rigged 2020 <\/p>\n<p>In the run-up to the race, election offices outsourced their most basic operations, <a href=\"https:\/\/imprimis.hillsdale.edu\/zuckerbucks-2020-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">with hundreds of millions of dollars in private funding<\/a>, a.k.a. \u201cZuckerbucks,\u201d to often leftist nonprofits. Authorities made all manner of exceptions to count ballots cast that did not comply with basic legal standards \u2013 that is, to tally votes that were <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bhweingarten\/status\/1346411363896332288?s=20&#038;t=emThuG2TdeVmqyP8Q7EO3g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">patently illegitimate<\/a>. When state judges decreed rule changes, as opposed to leaving it to legislatures to make law, courts up to the highest in the land <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/where-do-we-go-to-get-the-integrity-of-our-vote-back_3709423.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">permitted<\/a> it. Poll workers prevented poll observers from overseeing their operations in certain precincts.<\/p>\n<p>By their own <a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/5936036\/secret-2020-election-campaign\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">admission<\/a>, the wealthy and powerful came together in a comprehensive \u201cconspiracy\u201d to \u201cfortify\u201d the election against one candidate \u2014 aiding in many of these efforts. As Molly Ball spelled out in her \u201cSecret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election:\u201d \u201ca well-funded cabal\u2026ranging across industries and ideologies, work[ed] together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information.\u201d It is worth emphasizing that the co-conspirators both pushed the changes to the way we vote, and then, as seen with the Zuckerbucks, exploited the system they had helped create with nonprofits they funded to get out the vote \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theamericanconservative.com\/the-wisconsin-purchase\/\">arguably<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realclearinvestigations.com\/articles\/2022\/06\/07\/team_zuckerberg_masks_the_heavily_pro-democrat_tilt_of_2020_election_zuck_bucks_study_finds_835470.html#!\">disproportionately<\/a> to Joe Biden\u2019s benefit.<\/p>\n<p>The Federalist\u2019s Mollie Hemingway of course laid all this and more out in stunning detail<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Americans who remain skeptical about the integrity of our modern elections are not a &#8216;threat to democracy.&#8217; They are defenders of the republic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":698,"featured_media":1735486,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1735483","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1735483","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/698"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1735483"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1735483\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1735486"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1735483"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1735483"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1735483"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
