Doakes Sunday: What The Hell Is Going On In Hennepin County?

Joe Doakes, formerly of Como Park, emails:

After 265,000 absentee ballots have already been accepted, NOW they’re going to consider putting Republicans on the Absentee Ballot Board to decide which absentee ballots can be accepted in the future:
 
There is no election fraud.   There may be occasional errors but not enough to change the outcome. It is impossible to steal an election. The last election was the fairest one ever, except for this one, which is even more fair.  All we need to do to win, is to show up and vote. Anybody who says otherwise is an election denier and a threat to Our Precious Democracy.

It’s all feeling a little Orwellian, isn’t it?

    1984 is a manual, not literature.

    In what universe are there over 200k absentee voters in Minnesota, much less just Hennepin County?

    Steve Simon needs to be ousted in 2026. He’s the single biggest impediment to trustworthy elections in Minnesota, at least for the people with open minds.

    Smith;
    That’s true, but he answers to his puppet master, Ken Martin.

    Don’t know if this thread has gone stale, but I thought I’d add something. I don’t disagree with the message of any of Mr Doake’s posts about electoral cheating, but something occurred to me.

    If Democrats are also doing everything to encourage their own voters to get out and vote – and they are – doesn’t this imply that there is an upper bound to the number of manufactured votes that can be produced or used or something? Doesn’t this, in effect, validate the admonition to “vote harder”?

    JDM – I have nothing against Get Out The Vote drive. Yes, we all need to vote. I’m a traditionalist – I’m going to stand in line tomorrow.

    If every eligible voter cast a single ballot fairly counted and in the end, we lost, so be it. But that’s not what’s happening.

    You get to cast one ballot, same as me. Democrats don’t. They cheat. They send in Voter Registration Cards for dozens, maybe hundreds of ineligible persons – dead people, illegal aliens, felons – using a fake address. Then they request Absentee Ballots be mailed to that fake address where the ballots are filled out by Democrats for Democrat candidates. The completed ballots are slipped into ballot collection boxes from which they get transported to the county offices to be opened and counted with all the legitimate absentee ballots.

    Your vote and mine get overwhelmed by the fake votes but it’s impossible to prove after-the-fact because once the Absentee Ballot envelopes have been opened and the paper ballots run through the counting machine, there’s no way to tell they were fake. That determination is supposed to be made before the ballots are accepted – by the board which is supposed to be composed of both Republicans and Democrats – who are supposed to scrutinize the Absentee Ballots before they are accepted and included in the general count. By failing to include Republicans on the Board which accepted a quarter million Absentee Ballots, Democrats enable fake Absentee Ballots to steal the election.

    And that’s not to mention programming errors in the voting machines, a problem known as far back as 2018 when a group of Democrat senators including our own dear Amy K, raised the problem of vote switching by Dominion machines.

    Or the problem of election officials running the same batch of ballots through the machine several times. Someone should be watching to make sure that doesn’t happen but if the election monitors get kicked out because of a toilet leak . . . sure, the number of paper ballots won’t match the electronic total but courts won’t let you talk about that because you lack standing to bring the claim.

    Can’t happen, you say. Too many people involved. Somebody would talk. Maybe. Maybe they got paid, maybe they’re true believers, maybe there are only a very few involved. Maybe it doesn’t happen at all and I’m just a tinfoil hat kook. But saying so doesn’t make it so. Seeing is believing. In elections, that means transparency and monitoring at every step of the way. Registration in advance, not same-day. Photo ID. Signature match. Election monitors to watch the count and confirm the totals. Minnesota elections lack those safeguards and Democrats are the ones stripping them away.

    If I thought you wanted to cheat, I’d insist on safeguards. If I wanted to cheat, I’d insist on no safeguards. Democrats are the cheaters, we know it, they know we know, and they don’t care, they do it anyway because up until now, they’ve gotten away with it. How can we raise the stakes enough to dissuade them from cheating to steal another election? Stern letters? Scathing editorials? Perhaps a white paper from a local think tank?

    I hope there are enough legitimate votes cast to create such a huge Trump margin that Democrats decide not to risk another 4:00 a.m. ballot dump. Let’s see if it happens. If not – if they steal this election – there must be consequences. I’m open to suggestions.

    Mr Jones, I think you misunderstood my point and thus didn’t address it. I’ll assume it’s just because I’m such a lousy writer and try again.

    I was simply making an observation. First, I think we can agree that DemoCommies, in general, will literally do anything to win. Including cheating – as you’ve documented above. As Mr Doakes did before. Sometimes the cheating is blatant, sometimes it’s subtle. It is however widespread in those areas where they can get away with it. The little (red) rural township where I live? No. Mpls? St Paul? Of course.

    My question is that if they can just cheat their way to victory, why even worry about all the people (knuckleheads) who will legally cast votes for them? Why run campaigns to get out the vote? Or convince independents and RINOs to vote DemoCommie?

    To me, I inferred that there must be some sort of upper bound to the number of manufactured ballots. I don’t think it’s a hard and fast number, either for ballots or percentage of total ballots, but it would seem to exist.

    And from that I inferred that they know that a sufficient number of legally cast, anti-DemoCommie votes can defeat them. And that’s what I meant when I asserted that the oh-so denigrated “vote harder” meme is actually not all that wrong.
