Concerns over voter fraud have escalated as more evidence of malfeasance in the 2020 and 2022 elections is brought to light. The 2020 and 2022 Arizona elections, for example, according to experts were illegitimate since unauthorized, altered software was used on the Dominion machines and apparently there was access during the election that altered votes. There were also severe security violations and a failure of the county to conduct the statutorily required logic and accuracy tests.
For more information read the affidavits from the case that was filed with the Supreme Court. I really have no idea why the court didn’t take this case as the evidence is disturbing and overwhelming. Once again, the courts wouldn’t look at the merits of a case and issues due to “standing” were the reason for the dismissals in the lower courts.

In addition, according to a poll done by Rasmussen and the Heartland Institute 1 out of 5 people admitted to committing fraud in the 2020 election. This is an ongoing concern due to early voting (which was instituted post COVID) as well as mail-in balloting where many states automatically mail out ballots to all registered voters—never mind that the voter rolls are often loaded with ineligible voters. To wit, 17% of respondents stated that in the 2020 election they cast a ballot in a state where they were no longer a permanent resident. If 20% admitted to fraud how many didn’t admit to doing an illegal act?
Here is a related interview by Tucker Carlson on the subject. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/04/watch-tucker-carlson-discusses-poll-finding-one-five/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=watch-tucker-carlson-discusses-poll-finding-one-five
It is no wonder over half of likely voters believe there will be cheating in the 2024 election.
This begs the question, “What can voters do to minimize fraud in 2024 and help ensure that their candidate wins.”
Step 1: Show up to vote in the primaries—Unfortunately, most people don’t vote in their state’s primary elections. High turnout is the best defense to voter fraud. It makes it harder to cheat if more people show up to the polls. In South Carolina, we are lucky to get a turnout of around 20% statewide for primaries. This is abysmal. You can’t complain about your leadership if you sit home and don’t vote. Make is a priority to vote in the primary as well as all other elections (especially the local ones) in your state. Put the date on your calendar. The South Carolina state primary is June 11th, so make sure you are registered and informed. Which brings me to step 2.
Step 2: Educate yourself on the candidates—this doesn’t mean paying attention to seedy push polls, asking your friends who they vote for(cringe) or voting for the most recognizable person on the ballot. Research the candidates. Review their websites. Call them and ask them about their positions on issues that are crucial to you. If they already are in office make sure you check their voting record. You will likely be surprised that many of the people you thought would vote a certain way actually vote the opposite. Although South Carolina is supposedly a “red” state we rank in as the 3rd most liberal state in the US. See this analysis that was done by Palmetto State Watch:
You can also research your legislators’ conservative scorecard here using the John Birch society freedom index. The score rates members of congress on their adherence to the constitutional principles of limited government, fiscal responsibility, national sovereignty, as well as avoiding foreign entanglements.
Step 3 DON’T VOTE EARLY NOR BY MAIL!
This is extremely important. As we saw above, mail in voting can be a gateway for fraud.
In addition, candidates can get access to poll book data to know who has voted and who hasn’t in order to drive turnout to their benefit. This would be advantageous for a candidate who has more funds to spend on a last minute “get out the vote” initiatives. This poll data could also potentially be modeled to predict not only turnout but potential results via sophisticated algorithms. If nefarious actors had access to the tabulator data via hacking or other methods (internal hidden modems/flash drives) they could “fine tune” algorithms to flip or weight votes in favor of a certain candidate. In short, a longer voting period gives potential bad actors more data and more time to act.
Instead vote on election day in person and if for some good reason you can’t vote in person that day submit your absentee ballot as late as you can, given your state’s laws.
Step 4 Observe and report
It is imperative that citizens are able to observe ALL phases of the election process. It is an essential right that we have and you should take advantage of it. Be a poll worker. This will educate you on how elections are conducted. Also attend your county logic and accuracy testing of the machines. If you do, we can provide pertinent questions for you to ask. Remember that if our vote recorders are not accurate, they shall not be used. Also go to view your county inspection and tabulation of the absentee ballots. It is eye-opening to say the least. The more citizens become aware of the complexity of the process the greater chance we have or reforming it.
If you are unhappy with your local, state, or national representation follow the above steps and also get more involved in your local news and politics. Attend your party meetings, county council meetings and school board meetings. If you are disappointed in election outcomes you have no one to blame but yourself if you don’t observe and participate.
We can win in 2024; it’s as easy as 1-2-3-4
