We have seen in 2020 and 2022 thousands of ballots without a chain of custody being received in swing states. What does it mean “without a chain of custody”? It means that there is no verification where those ballots came from. There is circumstantial evidence, statistical evidence that those ballots swung the elections in favor of the Democrats, particularly in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. These 6 swing states will decide the 2024 election as well.
President Trump stated “No other advanced country conducts elections this way. Many European countries have instituted major restrictions on mail-in voting specifically because they recognize the nearly unlimited potential for fraud. Out of 42 European nations, all but two prohibit absentee ballots entirely for people who reside inside the country, or else they require those who need absentee ballots to show a very, very powerful ID.” Washington Post wrote an article claiming that 8, not 2 out of 43 European countries allow unrestricted mail in voting. But even far left Washington Post, which together with most of the media represent a de facto propaganda branch of the Democratic Party, begrudgingly agreed that most European countries require in person voting for most citizens. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/12/04/trumps-assertion-that-only-two-european-nations-allow-mail-in-voting/
Please, see the data below. In 2016 to 2018 GOP had the White House, the House and the Senate. This was the golden opportunity to pass the Federal election holiday and voter ID law for in person voting. What GOP needed, was to have a procedural vote to do away with filibuster on the issue of the federal elections and voter ID law just as they did away with the filibuster on the issue of confirmation of federal judges.
For years there was a bottleneck in voting for federal judges due to the filibuster that required 60 votes and not a simple majority in the senate. Prior to 2018, Democrats, who were led by Harry Reid at a time changed the rules to cancel the filibuster and require only a simple majority vote in confirmations of federal judges for district and the courts of appeals. After 2016, Republicans extended this rule and canceled the filibuster (60 votes) for the Supreme Court. That ultimately gave Republicans 6 out of 9 seats on the Supreme Court.
GOP was squeamish in doing the same for the voter ID law. Possibly, the RINOs, Speaker Paul Ryan and the senate leader McConnell were not resolute enough. If they would have passed the Federal elections voter ID law, which would make federal elections day a holiday (a day off) and require every voter to obtain and present a valid voter ID and vote in person, likely GOP would have held the White House and both houses of congress in 2020 and 2022. Of course, the voter ID law would have some exceptions, whereby members of the military stationed overseas, bed-ridden patients with doctors notes and out of state employees with an employer’s note would be allowed to vote by mail.
It is crucial that next time GOP takes the White House and both houses of Congress, they pass the Federal voter ID law. 2024 is expected to be a very close election according to polls. Maybe GOP will be successful in 2024, if not, then in the future GOP has to pass the federal ID law. Meanwhile, each state GOP should put on the ballot a Voter ID and in person election proposition, this is particularly crucial for the swing states. Elections integrity requires a federal voter ID and in person voting!

Or the Democrats control everything and drop the filibuster to pass a federal law mandating mail-in votes and lax ID. Or everyone agrees that constitutionally this is solely the jurisdiction of the States.

Next time GOP has the WH and both houses?! I am stunned by the naivete of this “dream”!..
As history demonstrated, GOP is a nonparty and more insidious at that than the openly anti-American Dems. Moreover, the conditioning of the American sheeple into the duopoly (in fact, the uniparty) is a dead end, or simply the end of this entirely corrupted sodomite federation, long overstating its visa for existence! Much more so than the former USSR, which ended in 1991.
The difference is that the American states happened to be uglier, lower, and less ambitious than the former Soviet Republics in 1991.
