They are always ballot counting in Pennsylvania and California – or, more precisely, they are still find ballots.

In Pennsylvania, three Democratic counties are defying their liberal state Supreme Court by counting ineligible ballots. The accumulation of bad ballots is not enough to overturn the election for either party. President-elect Trump or Senator-elect Dave McCormick, so why is the left pushing to include ineligible ballots?

The reason is simple and sinister: to set a bad precedent for future elections.

In California, a similar effort is underway. There, some American parliamentary elections remain to be decided. In Californiaa state that requires no effective voter identification, conducts its elections almost entirely by mail. State law allows mail-in ballots without a postmark to be counted up to a week after Election Day if the person filling out the ballot puts a date on or before Election Day.

WHY THE MAGA MOVEMENT IS THE 1776 REVOLUTION OF OUR TIME

So if there’s a close race that requires “fortification” — the left’s euphemism for election theft in 2020 — Democratic operatives just need to find a few voters who didn’t vote , “help” them fill out a ballot and backdate the signature. – and there you have it! Last minute votes magically skew Democrats.

For the average voter, about 85% of whom favor showing ID to vote, these manipulations of mail-in voting are shocking. They degrade confidence in our electoral processes.

That the The left defends the electoral law past the breaking point is understandable on the basis of pure will to power. But for many on the left, particularly the ideological vanguard that has pushed the Democratic Party to the far left, there is another, deeper and more worrying reason: They do not view voting as an individual task of a citizen acting according to his enlightened self. – interest, they rather consider voting as a collective right.

Voting as a collective right

Democrats, particularly their Critical Race Theory (CRT)-focused factions, view voting as a collective rather than an individual right. This ideology prioritizes group identity over individual action, arguing that elections must yield racially and socially “just” results, regardless of procedural fairness.

This view ominously aligns with the concept of a concurrent majority espoused by John C. Calhoun, the early 19th century political theorist who served as a congressman, senator, and vice president under John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson . The bitter historical irony is that Calhoun was an ardent supporter of slavery. He would completely agree with the idea that race determines political outcomes.

A striking example is California’s ballot-trafficking systemwhich allows paid agents to pressure voters in their homes, thereby destroying the secrecy and sanctity of the vote. This system, institutionalized over the past decade, brought spectacular gains to Democrats, with unionized agents ensuring that ballots were “completed correctly.”

This was brought home to me a week before the election when I attended a voting rights forum at a local college. My training partner was a League of Women Voters officer. Just after declaring the sanctity of the secret ballot, she described, without a trace of irony, helping elderly people in nursing homes vote by mail. The idea that all of these ballots were filled out in secret by voters who had lost their mental acuity strains credulity.

But the CRT view justifies such measures, presenting elections not as neutral choice mechanisms but as tools for righting historical wrongs and redistributing power.

Destroy electoral guarantees

The left’s assault on election safeguards predates COVID-19, but has accelerated during the pandemic. Emergency rules, initially presented as temporary, have become essential elements of the electoral landscape. The current controversies over election management in Pennsylvania and California are emblematic of this shift.

In Pennsylvania, the deliberate decision counting of ineligible ballotsdespite court decisions, illustrates contempt for the rule of law. California’s lax standards for mail-in voting — combined with the Postal Service’s partisan unions — invite abuse. These practices are less about counting every vote and more about creating systems vulnerable to manipulation.

What is at stake

Election integrity measures, such as requiring voter ID and restricting ballot trafficking, are considered voter suppression by CRT members. However, these measures aim to preserve the free and secret vote of the individual, an essential pillar of democracy.

The battle is not between partisans but between those who defend the principles of democracy and those who seek to redefine them.

If left unchecked, these developments risk eroding public confidence in elections. States like Florida and Texas, which have resisted California-style systems, offer a counterpoint, but the trend is clear: Unless systemic safeguards are strengthened, elections will increasingly be determined by paid agents or left-wing activists, not by voters.

Like the The 2024 elections demonstrate thisthe stakes are higher than ever. The left’s collectivist voting philosophy justifies the manipulation of elections under the guise of social justice, thereby jeopardizing the integrity of democratic processes.

To safeguard our republic, Americans must confront these dangerous trends and demand reforms that prioritize the individual’s right to a free, fair, and secret ballot.
