The claim "Democrats vote early"

Every wonder why when it comes election time, you hear the phrase “Democrats vote early?”  It’s treated as a known fact.  There is no way statistically, that that statement can be substantiated. Most would agree that it would probably be about a 50-50 split.

Let’s look at the term “early voting.”   This has to involve a paper absentee ballot.  Early votes are those cast before election day. The regular votes are tallied and then the paper ballots are counted. 

If one accepts the premise that Democrats vote early, it is no surprise to see Democrats rise past their Republican counterparts when the absentee ballots are counted.  The conclusion “Democrats vote early” is valid.

What you could be looking at is election fraud.  Why would more people vote Democrat than Republican in just the absentee ballots? Nobody raises that question, after all everyone knows Democrats vote early.

Any good statistician could, after looking at the polling numbers of the live voters, could project out the totals for the mail in ballots.  From there, the election commission or whatever it is called can create the necessary winning ballots.  Many ballots mailed out, are not returned and some of the voters are dead or moved.  So, in an election where say there is about one million voters, there is about 5% to 20% not returned. Skimming one or two percent of the vote, could determine the winner.  No one will know. Democrats always vote early. 

Also with absentee ballots, you can sell your vote for cash.  $200 dollars for groceries for your kid or vote, make the decision.  Millions of dollars are spent on these elections, and it is not all going to advertising. $200 a vote buys 5,000 votes with just one million.

We need to get rid the idea that “Democrats vote early” and end absentee ballots.

Do things really cost more?

The mentality of the population in the USA thinks that prices are rising.  Things cost more. It is kind of laughable. The actual fact is, the dollar is worth less than it was yesterday.

 Things are not more expensive; the dollar has lost value.  $20 used to fill a gas tank in the 1960’s.  Now in 2022 20 gallons of gas costs $120. 

 The fact to realize, is that things don’t cost more, your dollar buys less.  Politicians’ blame this price rise on the gas refiners and the stores.  How dare you gouge the consumer!                    

What we are really looking at is an erosion of value of the dollar---it doesn’t buy as much as it used to.

 The concept to look at is: a rise in prices doesn’t mean the item is more expensive. The dollar doesn’t have the purchasing power it once had.
