Following the rule of law should have proceeded hand in hand with casting one’s ballot in the several states across the United States on Election Day. Yet, despite a previous Supreme Court ruling that election rules or procedures cannot be abruptly altered or changed so late in election campaigns, it is exactly what some Democrat-controlled states decided to do. No doubt, such moves were deemed bold by the Democrats, yet they pushed their agendas. Additionally, in spite of the wisdom of settling election law cases before the unravelling of election law, the Supreme Court remained silent. Now, the Justices will be forced into taking action regarding the mess that exists right now.
Eroding trust within the electoral process
For those who have been paying attention, the sheer uncertainty and the eroding trust within the electoral process, America is in a state of crisis. The scenario is a variation on a theme that runs parallel to hanging the outcome of the election up the court system, which happened in the 2000 election and eventual debacle in the presidential contest between Al Gore and George W. Bush.
That presidential contest between Al Gore and George W. Bush came down to the confusion in the election processing of the ballots in the state of Florida. This scenario was repeated to some degree on November 3rd in the Joe Biden vs. Donald Trump presidential race, only it was worse because of the dangling legal issues that left the door open for confusion and chaos.
However, this election has been billed as one of the most contentious and divisive elections in our nation’s history. Threats of outright violence had been made against the public, if Donald Trump won the election. Lawyers on both sides were ready for such legal disputes that are unfolding still. The 2020 election was more divisive than the Bush vs. Gore battle, yet in 20 years the Democrat Party has been radicalized to the extreme in that the Democrat Party is no longer the Democrat Party of Harry Truman or John F. Kennedy. It would be unrecognizable to these two former Democrat presidents. Truman and Kennedy would be turning in their graves because they were both ardent anti-communists -- their actions showed it.
So, now the political party known as the Democrats, is absolutely the party of a Socialist agenda and it is all about absolute control over the people of the United States. This scenario of control emerged in a very real way this year in the lockdown mandates in several Democrat-controlled states. These mandates were not just aimed at public safety, the lockdowns destroyed a once strong economy across the United States. Some mandates were outright insane such as New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s condemnation of elderly patients to die in the nursing homes in his state. By the way, his March 25th order that mandated nursing homes to admit COVID-19 diagnosed patients had been deleted from the state of New York's website. It is no longer a transparent record.
Future freedoms of the American citizens
In fact, several states right now are not being transparent with regard to their election process of counting mail-in ballots for this election. So, this brings us back to Florida 2000 only multiplied by five times. That election day was on November 7th, and it was not until November 26th that the officials in the state of Florida finally declared George Bush the winner of the 25 electoral votes in the race for POTUS. In 2000, similar type scenarios that unfolded this year, as the networks calling Florida for Gore, and then for Bush, and then Gore made a concession, but it was quickly rescinded, as the election in Florida could not be clearly decided - until three weeks after the votes were cast on Election Day. Only, this year it is happening in multiple states. The real question is whether justice can be expected to prevail in such states?
For many Americans, it looks hopeless at this point for Trump to pull this out, and it looks as if patriots, conservatives, and Christians who were supportive of Trump, will have no one to defend them in the coming years. At this point, it looks like a very dark future for America and Americans. And while most people want to live in freedom - if not directly, they desire the fruits that freedom provides. However, most people have an intense desire to preserve their lives; while a certain number would seek to preserve others lives. However, it is when freedom and one’s life is weighed, most people down through history, chose to live in slavery. That is why Patrick Henry’s statement: “Give me Liberty, or give me death” is so truly dramatic.
If Liberty is on the line, and someone truly has a chance of securing freedom, and they realize it, the desire for freedom becomes intense - just as intense as the desire to hold on to it if there is a fear of losing freedom. For Americans once again, the moment had arrived in which they needed to reaffirm their desire to live in freedom. However, in this election, mail-in voting became the easy thing to do. It was a powerful temptation to just accept the mail-it-in mentality amidst the fears of infection from COVID. It seemed very simple. Yet, this is the very simple thing that will become an obstacle for the sake of the future freedoms of the American citizens.

Mail-in ballot debacle
For Americans once again, this moment is critical. It is a moment in time when another opportunity exists -- yet it hinges on faith. People allowed the mail-in ballot debacle to occur in their individual states and despite ignoring the government officials and going to vote in person, they did not, as can be seen in several of the battleground states. Yet, there is a possibility in this time for people of faith to demonstrate it. In this moment of time, there is a great opportunity for people of faith to demonstrate their faith -- to display their genuine faith in God, or a “higher power.” When people are confused or fearful of what the future may hold, it is in such uncertain times that wiser souls seek wisdom from higher sources.
Americans who seek to reaffirm their love for freedom must take this moment seriously -- perhaps as the greatest test of faith they will ever demonstrate in their lives. Fear can be manipulated, and when the flames of fear are fanned, they can erupt into outright panic within the minds and hearts of innocent people. In such a case, it is important to realize a fundamental reality: we are all in this together, and we still live in a somewhat “civil society” within the Land of the Free. It means that as social beings, we are interdependent upon one another for a healthy society, for the public welfare. It means we all need to pray and act to demonstrate our faith in President Trump in this time. He has been there for us, and he has led us this far; it need not stop as genuine and sincere faith can secure the re-election of Donald J. Trump.
