Ohio's Odd Numbers

No conspiracy theorist, and no fan of John Kerry's, the author nevertheless found the Ohio polling results impossible to swallow: Given what happened in that key state on Election Day 2004, both democracy and common sense cry out for a court-ordered inspection of its new voting machines.

If you are going to go as far as rigging the elections with machines, you are going to also seek to destroy the original ballots and replace them with ones that mirror the "official" vote tally.

The Republicans were in a state of civil war with the Ron Paul Movement destroying the Republican Party in 2008 and 2012, after the Sarah Palin Tea Party co-opted the Ron Paulers and turned the populists from against Republicans to against Obama, Republicans were ready in 2016 to return to stealing elections. This was done in the Blue Wall States (see Independent UK article).

In 2020, Covid mail in ballots ruined this and Trump called mail in ballots "fraudulent" because the system was not yet rigged for changing the votes of the mail in ballots.

The easiest clue in finding if Trump steals elections is asking yourself if Trump projects. Also if Trump could steal elections, would Trump steal elections. Ohio was stolen in 2004, so Republicans have done this.

With Trump so unpopular, the election was stolen in 2024 in many states, it was not limited to the Blue Wall.
