“I would hope that readers will now understand how the smokescreen of local politics was used to divert their attention away from the real issue – that of one-man-one-vote for legal voters only, with no undue influence or intimidation from any political party or group. I have no real objection to early voting, provided it is used for its intended purpose, and safeguards are first instituted to protect the process from manipulation and abuse.”
Hmmm…. There is no manipulation nor smokescreen at all. None. I thought that extended early voting was a local issue. Now I understand it is not. Doesn’t change a thing. I asked for a factual assessment of the case for voter fraud in NC. You cannot provide one because there isn’t one. The NC Elections Board has been heard from on this.
There is no problem. Yet you continue to lobby for “safeguards” to protect the process from “manipulation and abuse” that doesn’t exist. My Daddy always said when you hear someone trying to hook you with an emotional argument about a bogeyman that doesn’t really exist, you better watch out for your wallet. Maybe that’s it ……
