Guest Post by Kurt Schlichter
Look, it usually doesn’t help to be harsh, but sometimes you have to be. So, harsh it is. If you are one of those conservatives saying that we should only vote on election day and not use mail-in voting, ballot harvesting, early voting, or any of the tactics, techniques, or procedures that Democrats have used to win elections, then you’re an idiot.
There’s no sugarcoating it – you’re just plain stupid. I don’t know what the hell is wrong with you, but you need to pull your head out of your fourth point of contact and get with the program. We’re here to win, and that means mastering rules of the game as they exist, not as we wished they existed. You know what I’d like? I’d like one day of voting where everyone shows ID and marks a paper ballot and it’s counted publicly. You know what else I’d like? I’d like a pet unicorn. I’d name him Chet. But I’m not going to get a pet unicorn. And I’m not going to convince a bunch of Democrat state legislatures or a Democrat Senate to do what I want. I don’t know why this is hard to understand. It should not be hard. It’s obvious.
Mastering the tactics, techniques, and procedures of the enemy works to defeat Democrat election shenanigans. Look what happened in California. In 2018, we got slaughtered because the communists were using California law to ballot harvest and do all the other things that allowed Democrats to mobilize their indolent, stupid, and lazy electorate and convert those morons’ feelz into counted ballots. So, in 2020, we did the same thing to mobilize normal people. We went to churches and gun shows and other places where patriots hang out, and you know what? We won a bunch of congressional seats. Holy cow! Republicans gaining seats in California? Yeah! Election tactics matter.
I am baffled about the near-religious conviction that some of these dogmatic individuals have about voting only in-person on election day. Guess who else wants us to do that? Democrats – perhaps there’s a reason.
It’s a certifiably stupid thing to do if you can have your people mail in ballots or vote early and don’t. Why? Well, when you vote early, that ballot is banked. It’s done. It’s over. It’s counted. Even in California, I know it’s counted. I get a little email saying, “Hey, we got your ballot and counted it.” They aren’t sifting out the Republican early ballots. They don’t know what’s in the envelope. Mine comes from Ted Lieu’s district near Los Angeles, so it is presumptively from some damn communist. The idea that these half-wit bureaucrats are smart enough to cull out the conservative ballots gives these morons far too much credit.
In contrast, let’s look at what happened in Nevada last time. In Nevada, there was a freaking storm, and it was the people out in the rural boonies – the people we needed voting for us – who couldn’t get their pickup trucks to the voting place. The culinary workers in Las Vegas voted weeks in advance under the eyes of their union overlords. We got screwed. But if our people had voted early and banked those votes, we might have won.
How about Maricopa County? You remember that? When and where did the problems arise? In Republican precincts on election day. They suddenly had the wrong ballots, or the machines didn’t work, or whatever. And people left because they couldn’t wait around. But if they had voted early…
Election Day voting makes screwing over Republicans easy because the conservative voters were located in identifiable places all at one single time. All the mail in ballots go into a big pile, so you can’t target patriots. If a machine breaks down during early voting, fine – you come back tomorrow. If all those Arizona Republicans had taken advantage of early voting and mailed in their ballots or gone and done early voting at one of the polling places, that wouldn’t have happened. Learn from your mistakes.
Oh, and early voting lets the GOP target low propensity voters, the folks who might not vote without getting a call. Election Day should be all about low propensity voters and running up the score, not reminding people who don’t need a reminder. The parties track who has voted – a fringe benefit is that if you have voted no one calls or texts you. Win-win.
But some people still adhere to the dumb idea that only in-person Election Day voting is secure. Who knows why they think that? It’s demonstrably wrong. Again, I wish things were different. I wish we had one day voting like they do in the rest of the civilized world. But that’s not the world we live in. That’s not the battlefield we’re fighting on. We don’t have that choice. Should we work for it? Yeah. And you know what would be helpful in that battle? Winning some freaking elections so we have the legislative majorities to enact those laws. But right now, we don’t. Right now, we have to find each location and figure out exactly how to get as many ballots counted as possible. That’s all that matters. Good intentions don’t matter. Wishing doesn’t matter. Wanting doesn’t matter. Counted votes matter. And only counted votes.
There’s a principle of engineering, the single point of failure. That means the one place in a system where, if it goes wrong, everything screws up. That’s why we have redundancy. Airplanes don’t fail because there are two or three of everything, unless you’re flying on the new DEI-friendly Boeing. The single point of failure in GOP campaigns is Election Day. Putting all our electoral eggs in one electoral basket makes it not only easier for the enemy to cheat but easier for us to cheat ourselves. How many votes do we lose because the Buick didn’t start or because Jimmy had to be picked up from school because he stuck a pencil up his nose again? How many votes do we lose because people just forget? If you vote six weeks ahead of time, you’re done. Finished. Your ballot is in. A meteor could strike you on election day, and your vote would still count. Your carburetor won’t stop you from voting. Your moron kid won’t stop you from voting. Your life chaos won’t stop you from voting. Nothing can stop you from voting if you have already voted.
We have to knock off this ridiculous obsession with Election Day voting. The enemy utilizes all the options. We must too. You’re not going to somehow shame them into changing the system by refusing to vote except on Election Day in person at a polling place. All you’re doing is making it less likely for conservatives to win, which makes it 100% more likely that you will never get the election system that you want. Stop being dumb. You should vote the first day you possibly can get it over with, get it done, and win for a change.

Says the person who argues we should just vote harder to win.
Schlichter’s gone full Boromir as he clutches for the Ring of Power.
Nah, he’s still Gollum to me.
He should change his name to Kurt Shiller.
Hey, how about Ringmeat Mongoloid Schlicter? That’s the ticket.
It would be quite something if both sides did the same thing. It would be interesting to know just what the real population of America is, an extra 40 million 50 million? That would be cool, both sides lying their a $ $ e $ off and things still don’t change.
So instead of forcing honesty into the system the goal is to be even more crooked than the other guys.
“We should be more evil than our enemies.” Stupid article.
Stupid author.
Stop telling people to only vote.
If Trump loses to Biden, again, reading this guy’s articles is going to greatly amusing.
If Trump loses to Biden for the second time, considering what a disaster Biden is, it is going to be great sport watching people like this deal with that reality.
The article itself is proof Schlichter can’t deal with reality.
Seemingly unaware of what is actually going on.
Trump never lost to Biden. Biden is an insurrectionist.
So if we get magic vote spikes again, suitcases full of ballots, etc., then what? In the face of this the last go-round, Trump cut and ran. Bent over and grabbed his ankles.
When it happens again, will you be expecting something different to happen?
I expect confidence in American institutions to erode even further than it has already. As an anarchist I think that’s great.
You are either a fibber or wildly uninformed. Please tell us which. I see Trump on trial in several jurisdictions over what he tried to do to defend against the theft of the election. Hundreds of his supporters are in jail for attending a rally to stop the steal. I can’t promise what will be different if anything this time but Trump surely did NOT cut and run or grab the ankles. It is insulting in the extreme to say that.
This was aimed a Darren, not TPM.
My bad. IT WAS aimed at TPM. Still working through the new format. Sorry Darren.
The trial that is starting today against Trump is about hush money payments to a whore. So there’s that.
Where is the Kraken we heard so much about from his legal advisors in the aftermath of the election? What happened there? Talk about over-promising and under-delivering.
Face it: blatant election theft happened. It is obvious to all who care to see.
But instead of going to mattresses, Trump embraced his inner New yorker and saved his own skin, to live to fight another day.
They called his bluff, and he folded a winning hand. That’s your boy, President Lockdown.
The Kraken was the mountains of evidence of election fraud by the Democrats which we’ve all seen but which the courts refused to hear.
There’s video of Democrat vote counters kicking out legally required observers under false pretenses after which they retrieved hidden boxes full of ballots which they scanned several times each.
There was the truckloads of ballots sent to PA from NY weeks after the election containing thousands of supposed mail in ballots.
etc, etc, etc.
None of that has anything to do with Trump’s awful corona policies.
This new TBP format seems to not allow an edit, even within seconds after posting. Just tried three times.
It’s also not allowing quotes and links in many cases. It was fine for the same a few hours ago. It wouldn’t take something a minute ago that has gone up here just fine for years.
Just bugs in a new format I imagine. JQ is forced to do a lot of things because of the flood of commieass trolls.
Not just trolls but also dirtbag companies that don’t like ‘conservative’ types and work against us.
Have patience. They trying, got to be crazy on Admin’s end for sure. That said the upvotes and downvotes are all out of whack.
I post for the upvotes, but I stay for the downvotes!!
It’s the tractor trailers full of mail in votes which arrive weeks late in the middle of the night from other states that concern me.
WAKE UP Kurt! After taking over the RNC, the Trump people are doing all the things you advocate and aligning with Scott Pressler’s get out the vote, ballot harvesting group to the maximum extent allowed under election law. Lara the Warrior Princess is in it to win it.
“Stop Telling People to Only Vote on Election Day”
Stop Telling People to Vote. Fixed it for ya.
Sure, go ahead and cheat like the Democraps. I think you’ll find that the courts will have a field day with you – one they wouldn’t have with Dems.
I know right. I guess we shouldn’t vote harderer, but cheat moar betterer…
sounds like a winning plan. /s
Schlichter, as usual, doesn’t get it. The elections aren’t rigged by ballot stuffing and ballot harvesting. They are rigged by computers that either manipulate the vote totals as the voting occurs (on the electronic voting machines), or they manipulate the vote counting later on the computers, after the initial counts are entered. Even mail-in ballots and other manual ballots have to have their totals processed and transmitted electronically via computers. The riggers can literally just type in any vote total they want the result to be. The only constraint is that the winner has to at least be a possible winner. If they declared the winner to be someone who wasn’t even on the ballot, most of the sheeple would figure out that that wasn’t possible. If they declared the winner to be a third-party candidate, say the Green Party candidate, almost as many of the sheeple would figure out that that wasn’t possible. But as long as they say the winner is the Democrat or the Republican, most of the sheeple will believe that result.
Of course, most of the Right doesn’t understand that the fraud can be either for the Democrat or for the Republican. The NWO uses them interchangeably, depending on what their immediate goals are at any given time. The fraud was for Trump in 2016, it was for Biden in 2020, and it will be for Trump again in November.
Yeah, right. Like none of us saw the corrupt RINO fuques throw and obstruct at a minimum Arizona and Georgia.
That was done for PR purposes. They were flaunting the fact that they can select whoever they want, and they were also deliberately trying to provoke the reaction that ultimately led to the January 6 setup.
<b>The riggers can literally just type in any vote total they want the result to be.</b>
This x 1,000.
Kurt has this SPOT-ON, but Lara has already started beating that drum. I have been beating this same drum now for the last two election cycles.
Republican Nassau County legislator Mazi Pilip lost her bid to take George Santos’ seat in congress due to a snow storm that stopped 85% of the republican voters who ‘intended’ to turn out and vote for Mazi Pilip. Meanwhile, 85% of the democrat voters had been early voting for more than a week prior to election day.
Republicans need to take every advantage given by having early voting. VOTE early. If you wait until election day, you just might stay home because you are allergic to getting cold or wet.
If the rules allow for mail-in or early voting, Republicans MUST take full advantage of those programs and beat the Democrats at their own game.
Kurt, let me try to explain something to you: Early voting just gives the democrats a leg up in estimating the number of fake votes they need to steal an election. Of course, you don’t understand that because you’re a big waterhead motherfucker.
