It’s amazing how twenty-four hours can change everything.

The media and polls told us for months that Trump could never win. That he would lose by five, ten, or fifteen percent. The Democrats would take the Senate and add ten or twenty seats to their House majority. State governments were in danger. Trump had poison-pilled politics so badly that the Republicans would be thrown out on their ears up and down the tickets. And then it would be time to deal with the ugly, racist, ignorant, chumps who voted for them.

Election day finally came, and State after State pushed their absentee, mail-in, and early voting totals out to show a massive blue wave across the United States. Then the voters came to the polls and their votes quickly surpassed the Biden totals across the nation. Massive Biden leads evaporated in favor of ten thousand, hundred thousand, or more leads for Trump as the evening went on and one poll after another closed. Trump was running five, ten, or fifteen points better than the polls said he would. It was a red wave so powerful that many election boards across the nation simply stopped counting.

The lead was so great that Trump even gave a defiant victory speech and promised to continue the fight in the courts to keep the Democrats from stealing the election he had won. Trump was hundreds of thousands of votes ahead in a dozen or two States, including five States that the media was not calling for him. He was feeling real certain that all he had to do was stick the landing and he would have four more years.

Then odd things began to happen. At 4AM central, Wisconsin announced that they had found 100k votes for Biden, evaporating most of Trumps lead. Similar things reportedly happened in Michigan and Pennsylvania, but I did not see them in real time. I was at work, awake, when the Wisconsin poll drop occurred. I remember seeing my facebook timeline fill up with posts about it. People complaining and protesting. Saying it needed to be investigated. That it was voter fraud. Then all election posts disappeared from my facebook feed. It took hours before I saw any election posts on facebook. And all day I’ve seen people talking about how their facebook feed is acting up. My 1980s distrust of all things government and the powerful had me smelling shenanigans afoot right away.

There have been smaller pushes of ten or twenty thousand votes for Biden every few hours in the uncalled States all day since. Poll watchers have been kept so far away they can’t verify what is being counted. Republican poll watchers haven’t been allowed in, or been kicked out to cheers and applause. Viewing galleries for the counting rooms are being blocked by cardboard or large sheets of paper. Some poll watchers claim to see trucks showing up with votes to be counted. Others that late arriving votes are being mixed into the votes that arrived before the polls closed.

The totals are closing by thousands of votes at a time if the media is to be believed. Wisconsin is now saying they are 20k ahead for Biden. The media reports that Michigan is ahead for Biden now, but the Michigan State office website appears to say that Trump is still 200k ahead. Pennsylvania has dropped from three quarters of a million votes in Trump’s favor to only 200k.

Now I’ve seen this all my life. An election is conducted. The polls close. We find out the results, and if the Republican is a few hundred or a few thousand votes ahead, new votes for the Democrat will show up that night. Within days, enough will show up to flip the election over to the Democrats. I’ve seen this all my life, and it really enforces my natural tendency to not trust the government. But this is generally only a few hundred or a few thousand points. I’ve never seen 100k vote drops in the middle of the night before.

I’m starting to think that Biden was correct when he said “We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.” It is what it looks like to my eyes. It looks like they are manufacturing votes to change the result of the election after Election Day.

Now Trump is not a nice guy. He is a fighter, and he is already taking things to court. Challenging Democrat cases that sought to change election laws, voter verifications, and deadlines before the election. Trying to stop new votes from coming in after the election and entering the pool of votes that arrived during poll hours. He’s got numerous court cases right now, and it will be interesting to see what happens next.

This election is certainly not going to be over any time soon if these trends are to be believed. It looks like we will have some more weeks of election joy to come.

Woohoo…
