An Idea Out of Georgia Could Sweep Trump Back Into Office

   An idea out of Georgia has potential to turn this election on its end, and sweep Donald Trump into office, after all.  

   It's hidden there in the Constitution. "Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors." Let those words echo, "In such manner as the legislature thereof may direct." The Constitution grants state legislatures power to select the electors to the Electoral College -- and it doesn't restrict the legislators in any way in how they go about it. It doesn't say they can't retract one set of electors in favor of another. It doesn't say they can't make the change after the popular election has already taken place. It doesn't say they have to abide the popular vote. 

   "In such manner as the legislature thereof may direct . . .  In such manner as the legislature thereof may direct . . .  In such manner as the legislature thereof may direct."

   It's all up to them. 

   While this idea has potential. It won't make it. Georgia's Governor Brian Kemp has issued a strong statement against the six legislators from his state who want to replace the existing electors. And, in no other state, to my knowledge, is there even a move to replace electors.  

   It wouldn't be just. But, it would be all so constitutionally legal.

Did Mark Levin Miss the Very Next Sentence?

    Having been asked to watch  Fox's Life, Liberty, and Levin from Sunday, I did. Mark Levin spoke of the election in Pennsylvania, and of how the legislature changed the election rules fourteen months ago, and of how that was illegal because you cannot change the law without changing the state constitution.

   I searched the PA constitution as best I could. I could find no such provision. I searched as long and hard and arduously as I could. I did not find it. What I believe Levin was saying, is that the constitution specifies the date of the election, and therefore all voting must be done on that date, thus rendering all mail-in voting illegal. "The general election shall be held biennially on the Tuesday next following the first Monday of November," says the constitution. This, surely, is what Levine was referring to. And, if you take that alone, he would be right. The constitution would prohibit mail-in voting because all voting would need to be done on the date the constitution specifies. But, in the next sentence, it says. "But the General Assembly may by law fix a different day." Did Levin miss that?  

   Perhaps I am missing something. It would seem Levin could not be this off-base. Surely, he would read the very next sentence. Maybe I should try to call him, and attempt to ask him what I missed. I probably won't make such an effort, but don't put it passed me.

Give an Honest Review to What Dominion Says

   Defaming others in the name of patriotism is not patriotism, but betrays patriotism. 

   We must consider whether all these words against Dominion Voting Systems are possibly false. In America, we have the principle of innocence until proven guilty. It is part of us. The principle of not assuming the guilt of others is part of what we are as a nation, and as a people.

   The principle of giving the accused the right to speak is a patriotic value. The principle of listening to them is a Christian one. So, if you are being swept away by all the things being said about Dominion, perhaps it would be worthy to open their website, and to honestly consider if what they say in their defense is right. Give in honest thought. Don't just rush through it shouting, "Lies, lies, lies!" Be thoughtful, be considerate, be fair. The person who rushes to judgement often rushes from truth.

  Truth doesn't have two sides, but it won't even have one, if you don't listen to both. Those who would persuade you to only listen to their side, usually are seeking only to keep you away from the truth. I am providing the link to Dominion Voting Systems. Consider earnestly what they say in their defense.

 More important than winning is learning how to lose. Character is built not in victory, but in defeat. 

The greatest causes are taken up not by those who only value winning, but by those who will keep on fighting even when they lose.  


 There is more glory to sticking with the cause and losing than there is in abandoning the cause to win.

Ryan Lael Boudwin was a Wonderful Candidate for the UUP

 One of the candidates posted on Facebook of how he is considering changing from the United Utah Party to the Democratic Party, because he feels he could be more effective elsewhere. I posted my thoughts as follows: Ryan Lael Boudwin You were a wonderful candidate, and you campaigned perhaps as effectively as a candidate could. Here's hoping your remain in the UUP. I will confess, that at heart, I do not like parties, at all. But, UUP came along, aligning with my political feelings, and I jumped to join it. I spent up a storm in this last election, and it had hardly a titch of impact. I saturated my community with yard signs, to the point some voters dashed to their computers to find out what was going on. Alas, when the votes were tallied, I came away with but 3.95 percent of the vote, which is less than what you tallied despite campaigning much more frugally. I would be out campaigning, and explaining my views, and people would agree with me completely, and like what my campaign was about, but then they would ask if I was a Republican or Democrat, and I could tell that was all that mattered to them. Look at the races in which we did do respectably. There was the absence of a Democrat or a Republican in them, thus garnering the anti-Democrat or anti-Republican votes. I would not be surprised if one of our candidates hit more doors and campaigned harder than anyone in the state, and, while it did result in a few percentage points for her, for the large part, she tallied but the anti-Republican votes. Still, I am of some mind to say, Stick with it. A cause to be fought for is a cause to be won, if you keep on fighting. Look back and reflect on what has happened, and consider what it will take for a UUP candidate to win, and find a path. The greatest causes are taken up not by those who only value winning, but by those who will keep on fighting even when they lose.
