A Captain's Life on the Road: Washington County, Utah

Topic: Elections

My detractors often forget I was an Army intelligence officer once upon a time.  My job was to figure things out.  In fact, the Military Intelligence creed goes like this:

I am a Soldier first, but an intelligence professional second to none.
With pride in my heritage, but focused on the future,
Performing the first task of an Army:
To find, know, and never lose the enemy.
With a sense of urgency and of tenacity, professional and physical fitness,
and above all, INTEGRITY, for in truth lies victory.
Always at silent war, while ready for a shooting war,
The silent warrior of the ARMY team.

Another military veteran, April Pinkston, invited me out to St. George, Utah, the seat of Washington County, and the Beehive State’s seventh largest city, for an election integrity event on Tuesday, May 16.  Washington County has been not only Republican in every election since 1948, but lopsidedly so, with Republican share of the vote clearing 80% regularly beginning in 1980.  You can see the presidential results since 2000 below:

My methodology suggests Donald Trump should have carried at least 79.9% of the vote in 2020, with Joe Biden having no more than 13,601 votes given county profile, and most importantly, the enormous gain of 24,644 votes for Trump from 2016, a year in which the deep state stood up Evan McMullin, a CIA agent from Utah, to try and rip away six electoral votes from the Republican nominee (Trump).  McMullin siphoned away a large chunk of Trump’s vote that year, but he still carried the state with relative ease, as Utah voters ultimately decided not to support a baby-killing sleazeball like Hillary Clinton, despite mean tweets.

Trump’s gain in 2020, in this blowout GOP county, is the highest ever, eclipsing George W. Bush’s gain of 10,152 in 2004 from 2000.  In translation, Teflon Don won all the LDS vote back that he lost in 2016 (note the bloated third party share in Washington County and in Utah in 2016), and then some, and likely would have taken votes away from the Democrat column with a gain so large.  My Biden forecast of 13,601 gives him a gain equal to Barack Obama’s gain of 3,313 in 2008 (my methodology is lenient), but he is likely well below 10,000 votes in a real 2020 election free of corrupted voter rolls and mail-in voting.

Lest you think I’m not serious about these numbers, please see the total numbers of votes cast in Washington County since 2004, below.  Steady growth of 6,017, 4,191, and 8,145 votes gives way to 28,789 net new votes cast in 2020, in a county that supposedly grew by fewer people in the 2010s than it did in the 2000s, according to the latest census (42,164 vs. 47,761).

Gains in Democrat votes from previous election:

2000 – 649 (13.5%)

2004 – 2,048 (37.5%)

2008 – 3,313 (44.1%)

2012 – (2,489) (-23.0%)

2016 – 1,951 (23.4%)

2020 – 10,242 (99.6%)

Let’s get this straight.  Joe Biden, who didn’t campaign, and who supports limitless abortion “rights” and open borders lawlessness, managed to nearly double the Democrat vote column in the face of a Republican gain that destroys the previous party record of the county’s dominant party by a factor of nearly 2.5?  The gain for Biden, as a percentage, nearly matches the gain for Carter in 1976, but that gain in raw votes was only 937, not 10,242.  Maybe I’m conspiratorial, but it seems to me as if even Republican strongholds are receiving extra votes in the losing column to keep the ultimate winning margins believable and in line with a Biden electoral win.

I pointed all these things out, and more, in front of a stunned audience.  As predicted, none of the three “Republican” county commissioners, all of whom affirm the integrity of the 2020 election and the overall integrity of a mail-in reliant voting system, attended the event, though they were invited when it was announced three weeks ago.

Commissioner Adam Snow’s reason for absence is posted below (sent to me from my Utah event host).  Notice the temperament of the last comment on this capture:

Fortunately for us, Lesa Sandberg, the Washington County Republican Party chairwoman, did attend, and sat off to my far left.

She identified herself near the end of my presentation and took part in some dialogue with locals, some of whom had a bone to pick with her.  I played “good cop,” thanked her for being there, and ultimately asked her why, with these statistics so glaringly obvious, the county GOP did not spend all its political capital lobbying Utah’s GOP-dominated legislature to return to in-person voting at precincts.  Others railed on her over machines, including one attendee who pointed out that Washington County spent over $200,000 on a sophisticated machine designed to match signatures from all available public signature examples.

Utah is so Republican, it would be one of the last states to turn “blue” if they all went that way, maybe behind only Wyoming.  It takes zero guts in a state so one-sided to stand up for things Republicans believe in, but Sandberg not only defended use of machines, but swore by them, and waved off my numbers as nothing but a bunch of trends and opinion, without evidence given.

No evidence?

OK – if we send a salesman from St. George to Salt Lake City for one night out, and want to anticipate expenses, my list would look something like this:

Fuel – 2 tanks

Hotel - $200

Food - $150 – maybe a little more if he takes a client out

If that salesman comes back with an expense bill of $6,500, I don’t even need to see receipts.  Everyone knows what he is doing – he’s cooking his books and defrauding the expense system for profit.

So goes Washington County’s Democrat votes column, since its first election in 1896, before the Spanish-American War and before the formation of Major League Baseball, just in case I am accused of not producing a sufficient sample size:

Dirty voter rolls, as confirmed by canvassers at this event.  Full-on mail-in voting.  Ballot harvesting.  Use of software and electronic voting equipment.

That describes Utah’s elections.  To make matters worse, Ms. Sandberg told me Washington County is organized in precinct of 1,000 or fewer registered voters, which makes it perfectly suited for one-day, one-vote, at the precinct on paper ballots counted by hand.  Just come in, show ID, and fill it out.

Mail-in balloting is a crime against the people, and these statistics and the lack of action taken in an 80%+ Republican County should disgust everyone who hopes for a brighter future.  Our Republican Party officials lack moral courage when in power, and the guts to oppose a system that facilitates fraud, even when they have unlimited political power at their backs.
