'Those Who Vote Decide Nothing. Those Who Count the Vote Decide Everything'

After this past presidential election, the words attributed to Joseph Stalin, the dictator butcher of the U.S.S.R., as written in the headline, seem to be prescient and valid. For months, President Trump has railed against the idea of mail out ballots to everyone and the possibility of fraud and misuse, and would be a voting disaster. Well it seems that he was spot on as we have just witnessed at the conclusion of the recent election. Since the beginning of the year, the Democrats have been pushing to get mail out ballots approved in certain mostly battleground states, using the excuse of the pandemic as the reason to avoid having people wait in lines to vote thereby exposing them to the virus due to close contact. The question is, why were they so insistent on having this procedure implemented as the risk was minimal at best if people followed protocols of mask wearing and social distancing? Well, you just witnessed the result of this fraud-prone procedure as charges of voter fraud abound in a number of states.
