Voter fraud is usually thought
of as fraudulent voting, impersonation, perjury, voter registration
fraud, forgery, counterfeiting, bribery, destroying already cast
ballots, and a multitude of crimes related to the electoral process.
But there is another kind of fraud gaining strength. It is very, very
dangerous and a sure fire way to cement mob rule for all future
presidential elections.
This version of voter
fraud seeks to bypass the Electoral College and has already been enacted
into law in nine states and the District of Columbia. In New York (at
this writing) the law awaits the governor's signature. Other states are
contemplating similar laws, including Pennsylvania.
In short, states with large
population centers are passing laws which commit all of their electoral
votes to the winner of the state's popular vote. Votes cast for other
candidates will no longer count. That means that only the most populous
states with the most populous cities will always be in control of
electing presidents since they collectively hold the majority of the
nation's population. As a consequence presidential candidates will
only campaign in populous states/cities and ignore the majority of
states because they and their interests/needs will no longer matter.
This tactic bypasses the Electoral College system which the
founders placed in our Constitution in part for the very purpose of
preventing densely populated states from running rough shod over less
populated states.
Here is the dilemma. Populous
states with large urban populations vote heavily Democrat. Less
populous states with agricultural and rural populations vote
heavily Republican. The consequence will be that Democrats will
become the permanent party in the White House. And more
importantly urban interests and issues will dominate the national
political scene relegating the interests and issues facing agricultural
and rural areas to after thought status.
Concerns raised by some that the
Electoral College does not always result in a national popular vote
winner are acknowledged. However, that has only happened three times in
our nation's history and each time the popular vote was extremely
close. That possibility, therefore, is a matter of little concern when
contrasted with the unfair process being contemplated which favors only
one political party.

It is time to demand our elected officials cease and desist with this most un-American scheme.
