The RNC is Snatching Defeat From the Jaws of Victory

Topic: Perspective

Sit down.  Pour yourself a drink and let me tell you a story.

No shit, there I was.  It was almost Christmas in 2020 and there I sat, huddled around a table with a few other patriots who were doing their damnedest, against all odds, to keep President Donald J. Trump in the White House.  He still had a month to go in his first term, and the certification of the electoral votes was still weeks away.  Over the commotion in the room, I looked up and saw one of my new colleagues tuning in to a Zoom call with a bunch of lawyers.  50, 100, who knows – the number is irrelevant.  It was a lot of them, and they all worked in various levels of the Washington, D.C., bureaucracy and had a job so long as a Republican president was in town.

A bunch of Republican legal minds, what can go wrong?  At least that’s what I thought as I leaned in a little closer to try and get the inside baseball on any potential challenges or court happenings that could shift the tide as the window to change public opinion came into competition with Santa Claus, Christmas carols, and Grandma’s best meals.  What were these weasels doing?  They were coordinating their mass resignations, that’s what.

President Trump filled the public space with promises that he was challenging the results, thought he would win, and would expose the truth of the 2020 election.  Not so the bureaucratic slimeballs who nurse at the tit of the most historically evil center of power in the history of the modern world.  They must behave themselves and refine their table manners, or they may never be invited to the party the next time the right wing of the Uniparty holds significant power in Washington.  There is no greater injustice than to get the side-eye at the next cocktail party in Georgetown, at least not an injustice worth suffering for standing up for attempting to rescue the country from a perhaps unconquerable decline.

So they quit.  Soon after, Trump cabinet members would run to the press and recommend he concede a corrupt quasi-election, and a few in his close orbit even recommended he be removed via the 25^thAmendment, like the manipulative sociopath Betsy DeVos, who was happy to serve with President Trump when it meant a prestigious perch for herself.

Why am I talking about lawyers right now when you thought you were going to be reading about the RNC and the consultants who don’t know their asses from a hole in the ground that are busy leading the 2024 election to hell?  Because they have a lot in common.

Elections and consultants remind me of the NFL life cycle.  It’s always football season, even though the regular season only lasts for four months.  Consider:

·      Super Bowl is in February

·      NFL Combine for draft prospects is in March

·      NFL Draft is in April

·      Mini-camps for rookies take place in May and June

·      Players report to training camp in July

·      Preseason starts in August

·      The regular season is in full swing in September

·      Playoffs begin in January

·      Repeat

There’s quite literally not a single month of the year without the NFL.  Likewise, it is never not election season.

·      Elections take place in November

·      Election certifications and committee assignments take place later in November and into December

·      New legislatures and office holders take office in January

·      Within a month or two, two-year term office holders decide if they will run for reelection

·      Campaign consultants, like vultures, swoop in and deliver the package of website maintenance, fundraising, advice giving, polling, bookkeeping, and event planning

·      Repeat

That’s why, if you have a personal problem with a deadbeat politician and loudmouth who claims to want to fix elections but does little to prove it, but spends time running down your reputation publicly, people give you a difficult time over it because it may disrupt party unity, because again, it is always election season.  Americans are mesmerized by the political division in this country, most of it deliberately seeded, and crave a 24/7/365 election cycle to get their fix.

Chris Rock had an amazingly hilarious comedy routine, way funnier than anything you’ll find today, back when I was in high school called Bigger and Blacker.  The track “Ain’t No Money in the Cure” is one of my favorites to this day:

They ain’t never curin’ AIDS. Don’t even think about that sh*t.  They ain’t curin’ AIDS ‘cuz there ain’t no money in the cure.  The money’s in the medicine!  That’s how you get paid!

Many in so-called conservative circles have a never-ending grift that relies upon decrying problems that are generally well-known to their audiences, and their continued relevance and in most cases, income levels, depends upon that problem always being the big, bad devil impacting society.  Now, I know a few good and honest political consultants, and almost none of them get lined up with big jobs for big candidates, including candidates we think or feel are on our side.  Many who should be willing to call out election corruption and make a stand against it are unwilling to take the risk that their efforts will pay off, because if they fail, then they too will be branded with the label of election denier and thereby limit their business book of potential clients for the next election cycle or be blacklisted altogether depending on the state.  It is a miracle any of Kari Lake’s consultants stood by her, but I’ve presented evidence of election corruption to many campaigns who simply refused to discuss the issue even when their own elections were compromised, and they were prevented from taking an office they should have won.  In fact, many of the consultants I know of are capable of committing crimes like identity theft (I haven’t forgotten about you, Ross and Shawn).

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why yours truly is on the outside looking in. I wrote just last week about my frustration with the 2024 election cycle, and how I felt two years ago I would absolutely be an integral part of an historic effort to put President Trump back in the White House.  I realize I am still part of the greater effort and a major contributor of relevant and actionable election information, data, and analysis, but I envisioned myself helping in crafting campaign strategy, deflecting misinformation, and presenting relevant material perhaps even to the boss himself, or somewhere inside the campaign.  I have had to check my own attitude to make sure my frustration isn’t about me, and that is why I’ve waited this long to clear the deck and say what I need to say:

The RNC is doing everything it can to lose an easily winnable election.

The upper ranks of the GOP and those who make key decisions regarding elections are, by and large, the same people who have been handling this sort of work for decades.  The fruit of their labor is 191 permanently lost electoral votes and a fleet of states moving very quickly by stomping on the quisling GOP affiliates and office holders within them to a permanent 270-plus electoral vote majority.  Stephen Richer, Maricopa County’s dreadful Recorder and supposedly a Republican, reportedly flipped the proverbial middle finger to a legal request to remove non-citizens from the county’s voter roll last week.  Where is the RNC?

Where is the RNC with the news yesterday that Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are expecting to count absentee ballots for days, mirroring exactly what the decisive states in the last election, including Pennsylvania, did to respond to enormous piles of new Trump votes?  They are nowhere to be found, that’s where, but certainly were all schmoozing at the RNC in Milwaukee earlier this month and working on the next great gig based somewhere on the East Coast, far removed from the ruffians in distant red states who want borders shut and elections fair.

It is possible I have a Michael Whatley, Chairman of the RNC, problem.  I don’t have a personal problem with him, but I know for a fact that he had lots to say about me when I called out an utterly corrupt election that almost cost President Trump North Carolina’s electoral votes in 2020.  Whatley was Chairman of the NCGOP until just recently, when he joined Lara Trump atop the RNC ladder.  I reached out to him directly when he assumed his current post and received no reply.  Lara’s job is to be the face of the party, fundraise, and forge alliances, so the rest of my thoughts here are not to be taken as me criticizing her or questioning her loyalties, though I have made effort through my connections to link up with her, as well.

What is most likely in my case is that I am too uncompromising when it comes to election integrity matters, have been highly skeptical and critical when warranted about plans to ballot harvest our way to victory against shameless cheaters, and have left little room to doubt my beliefs that President Trump should have won the 2020 election easily, and that Joe Biden absolutely did not receive 81 million legal American votes, which has been subsequently proven.  I have spent plenty of time rightfully calling out the slovenly, worthless legislatures of red states for not only failing to perform meaningful audits of the 2020 election materials, but for doing next to nothing to prevent that election from being replicated in the future, like in 3 months.  That’s probably why I’m not there, because I would place too much pressure on people to stop behaving like morons and accepting the conquest of America through drop boxes, ballot mules, and expanded mail-in voting.

Then there is also the possibility, and extreme likelihood, that the consulting clown car is unwilling to let any new blood in the door because the newcomers may have good ideas, or even better yet, propose reforms that lead to victory and eradicate major problems that are often dangled as incentives for major donors to put their fortunes behind.  Today’s Republicans are afraid to win because it places pressure on them to finally do something with offices or majorities that are won, and today’s Republican base is sick of the same old shit that only results in a Democrat wipeout win somewhere through the election cycles.

I was hopeful earlier this year when Kris Jurski forwarded me the contact information of Christina Norton, the Director of the Election Integrity Department for the RNC, that my years of election research would be put to good use.  While the first half of my time in the election integrity world was focused on looking back at the 2020 election, I changed it up in 2023 and put together a hybrid curriculum, one that recalled lessons from 2020 and then 2022, and pieced together a framework for the future.  I also developed an approach called LIVES that enables anyone to pitch in in the fight for free and fair elections.  My capstone project, still in development to this day, is the Precinct Mapping Project.  It is a fusion of all my work on election integrity:

·      Maps down to the precinct and identifies the most likely geographic areas within a county for ballot stuffing and quantifies how many likely fraudulent ballots are in any such precinct

·      Identifies lowest fraud precincts, which when arrayed on a larger map paints a pattern of activity when contrasted with high-fraud areas

·      Identifies the most Trump-vote rich precincts for new voter registration drives in a county

·      When an entire state is complete, a final product that identifies Areas of Interest and likely ballot harvesting operations, including those across state lines, is available, with Michigan, Georgia, and North Carolina underway, and the following decisive states complete: Arizona, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin

After my initial contact with Christina failed, I got her to agree to a meeting by text in late April.  I met two members of her data team, with Christina not attending, remotely on May 29 for about a half-hour, gave them some of my work product, and despite being told I would have future contact with them, have been completely ignored since.  I sent these thoughts over on Wednesday, with no response given:

Christina is an attorney and boasts the role of Deputy Executive Director for the Republican National Lawyers Association on her resume.  Before I met with her data team briefly that one time, we crossed paths on one of Steve Stern’s election integrity calls, and she spoke directly before me.  Apparently, rather than sniffing out enemy activity and fixing it before it has a chance to manifest, the RNC plan is to field more lawyers in what they believe are the most important counties.  Someone in the comments please let me know the last time you saw vote totals being deducted from the running tally on Election Night, or the last time a court listened to us.  The key in fighting election fraud is to preempt the fraud, which originates in the voter roll.

This is not how I like to do business, and I’ve taken so much crap from people over the years for not diving into any and every food fight, shit storm, or factional rift that has emerged.  But like my texts say, I am sick and tired of the so-called experts dropping the ball and failing to work with grassroots experts and activists who have given every ounce of devotion to eradicating fraudulent elections for our sake, and the sake of our children and their children after them.  This is not about Seth Keshel, this is about all of us who are on the verge of being subjected to another preventable tragedy if people with the drive to square off against the enemy were given the reach, funding, and influence afforded to the RNC.

This is about the well-known patriots close to President Trump who have also been spurned by people who apparently think they have all the answers.  It’s about patriots in Clark County, Nevada, who showed up on a weekday to ask their tough questions to RNC personnel about elections, only to have them slink away through a back door.  It is about everyone who is sick and tired of watching the RNC collect vast sums of donor moneyto fix elections and then not having a single accounting of just where the hell all that money went available for public view.

If you are reading this and wanting to blame me for disrupting party unity, then understand this is the last thing I wanted to do.  I have no expectation of a contract and want President Trump back in office so I can move on with my life.  If you’re thinking that my work product sucks and that must be why I’m on the outside looking in, then you must think everyone else’s work sucks, too, because they’re also out in the cold.  I’ve offered you years of research on this platform, with much of it free for all, and since you’re still here, you probably find it useful and actionable – which is why this journal is one of the most widely read in the right-wing political category.  President Trump sure did, or he wouldn’t have commended my work on it.

I’m waiting for the RNC Elections crew to produce a slide like this:

Or a map like this:

Or big picture analysis like this:

Or even to know just where in the hell the ballots are being stuffed in the first place (and it’s not just Milwaukee):

I am not concerned with angry eyes at the RNC reading this missive.  In fact, maybe it will open some eyes that they are badly lacking in the intelligence picture and on their way to potentially allowing an easily winnable election against a terrible candidate to be stolen, and with it another four years to cement blue state election practices into law, and any chance of electing a true outsider as President again.  If it burns bridges, then so be it.  I have worked diligently to produce the most granular election integrity related data anywhere on Earth, and then have stood by patiently and waited to provide wise counsel to reelect the only President I care about, only to be stiffed by a bunch of cocktail party attorneys who are looking to not rock the boat and ensure the next gig no matter the outcome in November.

 I didn’t want to start posting my data all over social media and have been sharing it freely with grassroots leaders I trust in the states that matter most. More information put out online is more the enemy knows about what we know and provides an opportunity to adjust things I don’t think they would otherwise adjust since they completely got away with it last time.  But post I shall, for I have no other recourse.

If any of you read this and have an ounce of conviction in your bodies to do what is right and finally start listening to the people who know what they are talking about, then you know exactly how to get hold of me.
