Pennsylvania Ballot Fillers Elected a Dead Guy


Posted originally on the conservative tree house November 9, 2022 | Sundance 

The people who distributed, assembled, collected and then submitted all the Democrat ballots in Pennsylvania filled in the bubble for a dead guy. Democrat Anthony “Tony” DeLuca died October 9th but was reelected to his state House seat on November 8th. Go figure.

PENNSYLVANIA – A Pennsylvania state representative who died last month was reelected during the midterm elections, reports say.

Democrat Anthony “Tony” DeLuca died Oct. 9 “after a brief battle with lymphoma, a disease he twice previously beat. He was 85,” the Pennsylvania House Democratic Caucus wrote.  DeLuca was Pennsylvania’s longest-serving state rep, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

“While we’re incredibly saddened by the loss of Representative Tony DeLuca, we are proud to see the voters to continue to show their confidence in him and his commitment to Democratic values by re-electing him posthumously. A special election will follow soon,” Pennsylvania House Democrats said in a tweet.  (more)

Big Picture, 2022 Midterm Elections Highlight the Distinct Difference Between Ballots and Votes


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 9, 2022 | Sundance 

As the political discussion centers on the 2022 wins and losses from the midterm election, one thing that stands out in similarity to the 2020 general election is the difference between ballots and votes.  It appears in some states this is the ‘new normal.’

Where votes were the focus, the Biden administration suffered losses.  Where ballots were the focus, the Biden administration won.

Perhaps the two states most reflective of ‘ballots’ being more important than ‘votes’ are Michigan and Pennsylvania.  Despite negative polling and public opinion toward two specific candidates in those states, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman achieved victories.

Whitmer and Fetterman were not campaigning for votes, that is old school. Instead, the machinery behind both candidates focused on the modern path. The Democrat machines in both states focused on ballot collection and ignored the irrelevant votes as cast.

Since the advent of ballot centric focus through mail-in and collection drop-off processes, votes have become increasingly less valuable amid the organizers who wish to control election outcomes.  As a direct and specific result, ballot collection has become the key to Democrat party success.

The effort to attain votes for candidates is less important than the strategy of collecting ballots.

It should be emphasized; these are two distinctly different election systems.

The system of ballot distribution and collection is far more susceptible to control than the traditional system of votes cast at precincts.

A vote cannot be cast by a person who is no longer alive, or no longer lives in the area.  However, a ballot can be sent, completed and returned regardless of the status of the initially attributed and/or registered individual.

While ballots and votes originate in two totally different processes, the end result of both “ballots” and “votes,” weighing on the presented election outcome, is identical.

While initially the ballot form of election control was tested in Deep Blue states, through the process of mail-in returns under the guise and justification of “expanding democracy,” a useful tool for those who are vested in the distinction, I think we are now starting to see what happens on a national level when the process is expanded.

The controversial 2020 election showed the result of making ‘ballots’ the strategy for electoral success.  Under the justification of COVID-19 mitigation, mail-in ballots took center stage.  Ballot harvesting by Democrat operations was one term for the outcome.

Democrat party officials and political activist groups knew how to exploit the opportunities within the new system of ballot distribution and collection, and when you combine that with a massive legal pressure campaign to accept any and all forms of ballots, well, you can see how they are dependent.

Now that ballot collection has been shown to be a much more effective way to maintain political power, Democrats in a general sense are less focused on winning votes and more focused on gathering ballots.

When ‘ballot organization’ becomes more important than ‘vote winning,’ you modify your electoral campaign approaches accordingly.  It might sound simplistic, but inside the distinct difference between ballots and votes you will find why refusing debates is a successful strategy.

If you are trying to win votes you could never fathom campaign success by refusing to debate an opponent.  However, if your focus is centered around ballot collection, the debate is essentially irrelevant.

It’s time for voters to start seeing the difference between elections decided by ballots and elections decided by votes.  Perhaps the 2022 midterm election will awaken people to the two completely different election systems.

You can vote at any scale you want, but when ballots are more important than votes – the election will always favor the former.

Michigan and Pennsylvania voters are likely very unhappy today, while Michigan and Pennsylvania ballot providers are smiling.

If Democrats had to win individual ‘votes’ to gain election success, they would be at a disadvantage.  As long as Democrats only need to gather ‘ballots’, they have a path to winning elections.  The processes of electioneering are all modified accordingly.

Campaigning, advertising, promoting, debating, hand-shaking, crowd attendance and venues for rallies, along with physically meeting people and convincing them of your worth, are only important if you are trying to win votes.

Fortunately for Democrats, modern electioneering does not require these arcane efforts. So, in the larger picture of what you see in elections, they have stopped wasting time and doing them.  Haven’t you noticed? It really is that simple.

Election Week Ground Reports – What’s Going on in Your Town, Neighborhood and Precinct?


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 7, 2022 | Sundance 

Through the years one of the things CTH has always emphasized is the accuracy of your election ‘sense’ ground reports when contrast against the national media narrative.

So, this thread is for you to share what the sense is around your community.  How motivated are the people in your neighborhood? What is the sense of this election cycle? If you have voted already, how was the turnout for early voting in/around your area?

Use this thread to share your own sense of how things look from your perspective.  If comfortable include the general region you are describing so that others can get a feel for your impression of the midterm election this year.

CTH will host several election day update and ground reports tomorrow as election day voting gets underway.  However, in the interim, what do you see and hear in the conversations around your town, hamlet, community or precinct?

Historically the sense of the election you share has been remarkably consistent with the outcome.  Are the people in your circle enthusiastic about removing Democrats from their seats?

BREAKING: Catherine Englebrecht and Gregg Phillips Released from Imprisonment by Order of Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 6, 2022 | Sundance 

By order of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips have been ordered RELEASED from custody, reversing the lower court decision which led to their detention and imprisonment for six days. {Background}

A statement from Catherine and Gregg posted on Truth Social:

I will look for more details on the Texas Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal decision.

Konnech CEO Eugene Yu was arrested for exploiting access to U.S. election data, including election worker information, and transferring the files to China.

Eugene Yu and Konnech sued True the Vote and are using the U.S. civil judicial system to find out who told the FBI about the Chinese data harvesting operation. Federal Judge Kenneth Hoyt demanded that Phillips and Englebrecht reveal the names of everyone who was present when the original data files were shown to True the Vote.

Englebrecht and Phillips stated they did not ever possess the data file, do not have it and refused to name all the participants who may have seen it.   Judge Hoyt threw them in jail last Monday until Englebrecht and Phillips give up the names to the court and the Chinese Communist Party.

Their release comes a day after President Trump drew attention to their wrongful incarceration during a MAGA rally in Latrobe Pennsylvania.   Fox News Host Tucker Carlson also drew attention to the case.

Democrats Rush Election Funds to Deep Blue Races in New York, Oregon, Illinois and California


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on November 2, 2022 | Sundance 

There is a disconnect between what the MSM have been saying about the midterm election and the background Democrat party activity in the final days before the midterm election.

While most media watercarriers for Democrats have been claiming the races will be tight, close and control over both the Senate and House are narrow margins, the Democrat party apparatus is sending emergency funds to support deep blue candidates in races where they previously claimed their victory margins were too big to fail.

If the deep blue seats are vulnerable, their seats in districts of marginal support must be considerably more vulnerable.

(Politico) House Democrats’ top super PAC is making a last-minute buy to aid Rep. Joe Morelle, a New York Democrat in a deep-blue seat — the latest sign that the battle for the House is lurchingtoward the GOP.

Morelle, who was elected in 2018 to replace the late Democratic Rep. Louise Slaughter, holds a Rochester-area district that backed President Joe Biden by 20 points in 2020. His Republican opponent, La’Ron Singletary, is a former Rochester police chief who has staked his campaign on rising crime rates in New York. House Majority PAC will go on air this week for Morelle with a $275,000 buy, according to data from the media tracking firm AdImpact.

The incumbent has spent close to $800,000 on TV, while Singletary has spent just $160,000, according to AdImpact. But there has been growing concern from Democratic operatives in recent weeks that blue states, such as Oregon and New York, are racing away from them.

[…] It’s possible the late spending is only out of an abundance of caution — but it’s not a good sign for Democrats with just a week to go until the midterms. At least two other seats Biden carried by 20 points have become problem spots for Democrats. Rep. Julia Brownley (D-Calif.) has begun warning colleagues that her Southern California district could be in trouble.

And Pennsylvania Democrat Summer Lee went on TV with an ad last week, warning voters not to be confused by the fact that her Republican opponent has the same name as retiring DemocraticRep. Mike Doyle. (read more

The upcoming midterm election next week poses a seriously interesting dynamic, when contrast against the claimed ballot outcomes of 2020.

In a general sense, the far-left (totalitarian big government socialists and democrat communists) has always appeared to hold approximately 15% support from the general electorate.  This baseline puts roughly 85% of the U.S. population suffering through the consequences of an ideological minority in control of policy.

Additionally, there is a direct correlation between the genuine size of the group in power and the extreme use of control over the rest of the population.

The smaller the group in power, the more severe their ideological policy.  As a direct result that group needs to trigger the most severe control mechanisms within their authority – like using federal police, nationalized military, national security state systems, FBI activation, domestic surveillance, legal threats, social intimidation, etc.

The need for control, is a reaction to fear.  You can always gauge the scale of general public support for those in power by the way those in power behave in real life.  While this baseline is generally uncomfortable for the minority group to accept, this reality is a historic and empirical truth.  Less public support for government = the need for more government control systems.

The 2020 election was an inflection point for the small ideological group currently in power within the United States Government.

The dynamic of “fear” is the most often deployed weapon whenever this historic dynamic surfaces.  However, when the larger population of people stop responding to fear tactics and begin to mock those who are threatening to harm them, things generally change quickly.

The length of time it takes a population to stop being fearful is the exact amount of time those in power have as ruling elite.  Once fear is removed from the equation, the ruling elite dissolve very quickly and try to fit into the crowd.

We are supposed to believe that 85 million people voted for Joe Biden in 2020.  This did not happen.  There is a big difference between 85 million people voting, and 85 million ballots being collected.

The process of collecting ballots by scheme, fraud and manipulative deception, sets the stage for the larger question of how such a harvesting ruse can be maintained over the shorter arc of election cycles.  What institutional systems would be needed to maintain a lie on the scale of 85 million ballots?

Regardless of how you answer that question, it is worth asking the follow-up: what happens when you remove fear from that institutional dynamic?

A journey of a thousand miles begins with just one step….

A deception of a thousand scales can crumble with just one vote…

.

She knows….

.

The need for control is a reaction to fear.

…”we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”
