The TRUTH about voting

"Well, it was blasphemy in the ears of the Left. In the ears of the Right, it was right on. President Elect Trump had the gall to say millions of Democrats voted illegally."

Please, please, please - no more drama like we had in 2000. That was the cliffhanger to end all cliffhangers. We came within inches of having ALGORE as our President. And if ALGORE had won, I could kiss my V-8 Avalanche good-bye. I (along with the rest of us), would be driving Kyoto-mobile type transport. In fact a Prius would be considered a luxury mobile by ALGORE's standards.

But he did not win. We elected G.W. Bush for eight years and now Obama for another eight. Meanwhile, ALGORE became fabulously wealthy selling his fable to students as well as the easily led.

Now we have elected Donald Trump and the natives are getting restless. One of the members of the electoral college says he or she will quit before voting for Trump. Go ahead. Bye-bye. Others are getting death threats. It ain't like the old days for sure. PLUS - the election results in three states are now being contested by some 60 year old hippie who received about 1% of the vote. And today, Donald Trump spoke blasphemy. 

Well, it was blasphemy in the ears of the Left. In the ears of the Right, it was right on. President Elect Trump had the gall to say millions of Democrats voted illegally. Was it millions? We will never know. But the fact that we had illegal votes is nothing more than learning from history. In fact (this is only one person's opinion), if we factored out all the illegal votes in 2000, that election might not have been a cliffhanger.

In 2008, the man who gave us ObamaCare (Al Franken) beat Norm Coleman by the whisker thin margin of 312 votes. Finally in early 2009, and for the good of the state, Coleman conceded so this issue could be put behind us. Then when Franken became a Senator, he became the 60th vote to ratify ObamaCare.

Following the election of Franken, books and articles were written both national and locally, about alleged voter fraud in that election. That without voter fraud, Franken would have never stood a chance. 

The same was true with Emmer lost to Dayton. That also really stunk. Emmer lost by not as narrow of a margin as Coleman did, but it was close. Since Minnesota DOES NOT have voter ID, anything is possible at the polling place.

My feeling is this. And I believe this to be the truth about voting. Until we get an iron clad system, one which is "non-hackable" from foreign and domestic sources, plus one which is set up to ensure ONLY LEGAL citizens can vote (and vote only once) - we will continue to have post election circus shows like we had in 2000 and are having today.

Yes, there is one more thing. Our system must ensure that voters do not come in to vote when they are at room temperature, You know - like many dead "voters" in Chicago. We like our voters to have a temperature of about 98.6 and have a pulse. Is that too much to ask?
