Election Security: Things That Make You Go Hmm

One of the big issues currently making its way through the news cycle is election security. The Republicans would like to pass the SAVE Act. Democrats are fighting hard against it, although why is a contentious topic. The SAVE Act wants to see elections: require proof of US citizenship to vote, remove non-citizens from voter registries, and penalize those who attempt to cheat the system. Now seeing as how a national election is supposed to be decided by the citizens of that country (it makes zero sense to have non-citizens deciding the leadership of a nation), one would think this was a no-brainer. Apparently not.

I don’t see any valid, logical reason why anyone would oppose this election reform – unless one wants to cheat at elections. The main claim, that requiring voter ID will “disenfranchise millions of people” is a hayseed-flecked steaming pile of horseshit. Photo ID is required to get a library card, drive a car, rent a hotel room, fly, cross borders, enter a nightclub, hell, it’s even required to get in to the Democratic National Convention. Photo ID is the social gold standard. If someone in 2026 doesn’t have photo ID, that is by choice and not by circumstance. The type of person who would deliberately avoid photo ID is likely living off grid under a Faraday cage and wouldn’t be voting in an election anyhow. The idea that married women can’t figure out some way to establish their identity is actually pretty fucking insulting to women. Getting a form of photo ID in the USA in 2026 is something even a drooling toddler could figure out.



So then, why resist voter ID? Why, to cheat of course! I’m going to discuss some anomalies with the 2020 election. This is not meant to conclude that the 2020 election was “stolen”, but rather to highlight the weaknesses in the system. There are 15 states in the US that do not require ID to vote. 13 of those 15 states went Democrat in 2020, and the last 2 were marginal (<1%) victories for Trump. That’s one hell of a coincidence, isn’t it? Research will likely lead to the assumption that because large scale voter fraud hasn’t been discovered, that it doesn’t exist. Only, how would we know if a vote is fraudulent if no ID is required?

This figure shows the difference between the percentage of people who reported voting for Biden at post-ballot polls versus the final percentage. Negative values show reports for Biden being much lower than his final percentage. The negative shift, as much as 10 percent (!), is largely in swing states. Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada were all key battleground states where early results were for Trump, and late results skewed Democrat. Only two of those states have strict voter ID requirements. Guess what? They all went for Biden.

It was considered nearly mathematically impossible for Trump to win 18 of the 19 “bellwether” counties (by an average 13.7 points), and receive 11 million more votes than in 2016 (when he won), and still lose the election. What changed? Mail in ballots did, and they disproportionately went Democrat. And when I say disproportionately, I mean at a 2 to 1 ratio. The popular vote was split pretty close to 50% (48/52), but the mail in ballots – representing the same population of voters – went two to one for one candidate over the other? That’s a huge statistical difference! In person voting was roughly 45/55% in favour of Trump, while a whopping 65% of 65.6 million mail-in ballots were for Biden.

How were these mail-in ballots kept secure? Well a primary fraud filter was that election officials would compare the signature to one on file for the voter, if available. 10 states didn’t check signatures at all, and guess what? 80% of them went for Biden. I highly doubt 65 million ballots were individually inspected for signatures. The signature rejection rate was less than 1%, suggesting a rubber stamp process. They were also checked for duplicate voting. While it would involve forging signatures (that would likely not be scrutinized closely),if someone were motivated to exploit the system – especially with the confusion surrounding the COVID-19 shut downs – it could be done in a way very difficult to trace.

There were hundreds of affidavits from poll watchers saying they were kept too far away from ballots to be able to read signatures. This was mostly in 6 battleground states that, you guessed it, all went for Biden. Some states allowed “curing”, or fixing a missing signature or technical error, of ballots. 16 of the 24 states that did so went for Biden, a 2 to 1 ratio. In states like Pennsylvania, Democrat-leaning counties proactively contacted voters for curing, Republican-leaning counties did not. Fulton County officials in Georgia admitted in court filings that around 315,000 early votes in 2020 were processed without the required poll worker signatures on tally sheets, violating state law. The lack of signatures meant these batches couldn’t be fully verified against actual votes cast. Questions about this were completely dismissed at the time. Biden won Georgia by 11,779 votes. If not for mail-in ballots, the election result would have been very different.

Here we see popular vote recorded over the first 25 hours of the election. Around hour 4 you see the big switch. This was due to large late-night updates from Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia and Pennsylvania (that’s right, the same group of states previously discussed). Once the absentee ballots were added, Biden ran away with the victory. This does NOT look like elections in other years where the lines were far more stable and gradual.

So what exactly is the point in all this?

I’m not saying the 2020 election was won by cheating. I’m not saying it wasn’t. What I am saying is that there are numerous, highly suspect points of data. Even if the 2020 election was run completely legitimately, there is enough here to seriously question US election security. Why on Earth would anyone oppose increased increased security? Why would Democrats oppose a system of ID that they themselves employ at their own official functions? Why should elections be less secure than driving a vehicle? Why do the screen zombies not ask these questions? Why was the 2000 election suspicious enough to lead to weeks of fighting over the results, but 2020 wasn’t questioned at all?

It is deeply confusing to me how the same group of people, who look at the Epstein Files and conclude that the POTUS is a pedophile, can look at the 2020 election and see nothing wrong. The opinion of the Left is dictated by their screens, so one issue is seen as conclusive despite no reliable evidence, and the other is seen as a non-issue, despite some highly questionable numbers. Did the Democrats cheat to win in 2020? I don’t know. Maybe. I’m not willing to make any hard conclusions based on the available evidence. If only others took the same approach to contentious issues. What I do know is that voter ID is required in nearly every developed nation in the world when voting, and there is no good reason to resist having it as an election standard. Anyone who tells you otherwise should be viewed with extreme suspicion. The core of democracy is free and fair elections. Even if your candidate wins, it can’t be at any cost, because the cost is the reason democracy exists in the first place.
