Democrats are pushing the notion of mail-in voting, hoping the unsuspecting will think it’s just an extension of absentee voting. It’s not.

It’s a means to facilitate voter fraud—also known of “harvesting votes”.

It’s widely acknowledged that harvesting votes brought JFK into the win column in Illinois when thousands of Chicago votes magically appeared for Senator Kennedy, from vapor. Nixon, somewhat to his credit, did not dispute the count.

Facilitate voter fraud—“harvesting votes”

But, there’s an earlier example of Democrats harvesting votes in the 1947 Senatorial election in Texas between “a legend in Texas politics and a young congressman from Austin.

The legend, Coke Stevenson, had been the Speaker of the Texas House, Lieutenant Governor, and twice elected Governor.  The congressman was Lyndon Johnson.”  They were running for a U.S. Senate seat from Texas.

I wrote of it on November 27, 2007 for the American Thinker website:

“When the Texas Election Bureau closed on Election Day, Stevenson led by 854 votes.  But the counting wasn’t done, and neither was the voting.  Resolution of the contested results would be a precursor of the 2000 Presidential Election drama in Florida, except more crudely complicated.  Johnson eventually won by 87 votes in an election where 988,295 votes were allegedly cast.  ‘Allegedly’ is the operative word.

The story of the ‘47 Texas Senatorial election is told by Robert A. Caro in the second (of three, so far) volume of his highly acclaimed biography of Lyndon Johnson.  In Means of Ascent, he describes how Johnson stole the election from Stevenson with a tactic that Governor W. Lee “Pappy” O’Daniel had used to defeat Johnson in the 1941 Senatorial election.  Caro tells why statewide candidates delayed reporting results from their “friendly” counties.

An axiom of Texas politics held that ‘The lead in the runoff always wins’; in other words, the candidate ahead by the end of Election Day, at which time most of the vote had been counted, almost invariably could ‘hold out’—delay reporting—enough boxes to keep a reserve to counter changes made by the other side; since both sides were changing votes, the side with the lead could keep the lead by changing enough votes to offset the other side’s changes. (Caro,pp. 309-310)

In 1941, Johnson, over-confident of a win, let all his counties report on Election Day.  O’Daniel held some of his back until he knew how many votes he needed to win.  Johnson learned from his mistake, and didn’t repeat it in 1947.  After the polls closed, his friends in Hidalgo, and other nearby Southeast Texas border counties, found the votes he needed to win.

Johnson’s big vote bundler was George Berham Parr, who solely controlled the Democratic Party machine in Duvall and Jim Hogg Counties, just north of Hidalgo County.  Parr also exercised significant influence in other Southeast Texas border counties including Webb, Cameron, Nueces, and Hidalgo.  Caro quotes the description of Parr, El Patron, written by a Corpus Christi Caller-Times reporter named James M. Rowe, who knew Rio Grande Valley politics well:

It is not easy for the average person to imagine what it was like…to oppose Boss Parr in his own county. A word from him was sufficient to get a man fired from his job or denied welfare payments or surplus commodities distributed to the needy.  Merchants who opposed him faced the sudden loss of most of their trade.  Little farmer and ranchers were intimated by the pistoleros. (p.185)

Parr’s most ominous pistolero was his six-gun totting enforcer, Luis Salas.  Days after the polls closed, Salas added 200 votes for Johnson to Ballot Box 13 in Jim Webb County. The fact that all the votes were recorded in the same handwriting was a clue.  But the box was never examined by those who adjudicated the election results; it had disappeared by then.

Revised returns gave Johnson a 3,000-vote margin of victory in Hidalgo County. In the six Southeast Texas border-area counties most heavily influenced by the Boss Parr machine, Johnson tallied 10,323 votes to Stevenson’s 1,329.  In Parr’s home county of Duvall, it was Johnson 2,908 – Stevenson 38.”

This illustrates how the Democrat Party manipulates votes to “fix” election results, and are preparing to do it at the Presidential level on November 3, 2020.

America beware: The Democrat Party will do whatever it takes to win an election.

Offering ill-advised ideas plus astounding incompetence, Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler delivered Trump an open letter, blaming him for Portland’s violence. Yet, a day after this tantrum, an unarmed conservative was shot dead by an Antifa terrorist. This illustrates Trump’s description of a city abandoned by leadership and logic, set afire by radicals each evening. Previously, Weakling Wheeler joined crowds of protesters only to receive insults and tear-gas. Fittingly, on his birthday, protesters yelled, Happy Tear Gas to You! Wheeler’s condo was repeatedly targeted by arsonists, so of course he’s moving. Finally, on Sept 2^nd, Oregon State Police were deputized as Federal Marshals.

Blame Trump Speech
Having suffered ridicule, Mayor Wheeler sought to prove himself Portland’s boss by calling a press conference to release his “open letter” to Trump, Fri Aug 28, ‘20. Wheeler’s screed began, “Dear President Trump, Yet again, you said you offered to aid Portland by sending in federal law enforcement to our city. On behalf of the City of Portland: No thanks.” But in an astounding twist, the next day, an unarmed Trump supporter was selected for murder. Trump responded:

Ted Wheeler, wacky Radical Left Do Nothing Democrat Mayor of Portland, who watched great death & destruction of his City during his tenure, thinks lawlessness should go on forever. Wrong! Portland will never recover with a fool for a Mayor.…

Trump as Bogeyman
Did Trump create Portland’s problems? This assumes, without proof, the main protest Antifa/ BLM has is with Trump. Instead, they are opposed to police, period. But the current issue is how to stop the violent riots running 100 days. Federal Police repeatedly stopped rioters from burning down the Federal Court Building. Yet Wheeler complained and they left.

Wheeler’s Weak Response
How has Wheeler responded? First, his DA won’t prosecute rioters or even give overnight jail detentions. So the same violent anarchists appear daily, attacking buildings and people. Nearby police departments refuse to help Portland. This just after Wheeler called out anarchists for trying to burn police to death. While Wheeler called to defund the police, they could help stop the violence quickly.

The murder of Aaron ‘Jay’ Danielson, within hours of Wheeler’s speech rejecting offers of federal help revealed his self-destructive value system. If Trump’s fed troops and Oregon  National Guard were imported, and allowed arrests and prosecutions, no doubt the riots would dry up quickly. Therefore, Wheeler and Oregon want the chaos, destruction and deaths. But why?

Wheeler’s Healing Theories
Wheeler wants progressive solutions, but offers no plan. Not surprisingly, he’s failed in past protest crises, just last year, without a plan, Wheeler seems an idealist who cannot produce a single strategy. He focuses on “big changes” while using Trump as a scapegoat. Wheeler hoped riots would “burn themselves out.” Leftist Governor Brown has never sent Ted a single National Guardsman, and his wildly progressive DA does not allow riot prosecutions.

CONCLUSION
Mayor Wheeler admits he’s tried to deal with disasters alone and failed. He doesn’t have a strategy to transition his very progressive beliefs to solve this problem because it’s impossible. Wheeler spent his entire career working on race, gender and trans rights. But he’s not smart enough to square how race warriors can ethically use lies, destruction and murders to create a better world for all of us.
