2020 election

Bob Horne, I’m compelled to respond to your recent letter. I am so sick of hearing the big lie, unsubstantiated, false claims, etc., about the 2020 election.

First of all, I’m fine with some absentee ballots or early voting in person. I do have a major problem with same-day registration, no ID required, drop boxes, mailing ballots to anybody and everybody and ballot harvesting. These methods leave far too much room for gerrymandering and fraud that is extremely difficult for oversight to confirm a legitimate ballot, whether harvested in a unscrupulous manner or cast in some other disingenuous way.

Why do Democrats love these methods of voting? Because most Democrats couldn’t win a election if the voter is pre-registered, informed and votes in person with ID. My personal view is if you take your vote seriously and can’t meet these requirements you are probably too irresponsible and uninformed to be picking our nation’s leaders anyway.

In the 2020 election, dozens of counties in some states had 90 plus percent voter turnout, that’s extremely unlikely but prove it with some of the legal shenanigans mentioned above.

Ask any informed Democrat who the rock star of there party is. By far most will say Obama (69+ million 2008, 65+ million 2012). Or Hillary (65+ million 2016). Virtually none would say President Biden (81+million 2020), quite unlikely and irregular.

As far as being informed, I’d bet half of Biden’s 81 million supposed voter’s couldn’t tell you who the vice president was 10 years ago.

Montana you can vote absentee by mail or in person at county courthouse approximately 30 days before Election Day. If you’re not responsible enough to figure that out, then like I said earlier.

Once you’re registered you stay registered as long you vote every four years. Voter suppression or voting rights? Who is really being dishonest?
