People who believe this fantasy know too little about America's bogus election system

Since the 2022 midterms, the hot new idea on the Right is for the GOP establishment to embrace ballot harvesting. This seems, at first glance, to be a perfectly reasonable strategy. Why not copy the Left's mail-in ballot machine? Why not legally cheat as much as the Democrats?
This month, even President Trump endorsed the idea of ballot harvesting for the GOP.
As most of you know, I have covered the sordid details of America's fraudulent election system more than any other reporter since 2020 — and it's been a daily topic on my TV show "The Absolute Truth" for over a year. Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and New York — the election integrity groups that discovered how the 2020 election was stolen, state by state, have all been guests on my show.
My credentials on this subject are impeccable, and I'm here to tell you that the GOP will not solve its election problems by building a ballot-harvesting operation.
Why not — you ask?
First of all, you just watched Arizona election officials shut down the voting machines in GOP precincts of Maricopa County in the 2022 midterms. It would appear that a GOP ballot harvesting operation would have neutralized that particular strategy — right?
That's the problem with having only a superficial knowledge of "ballot harvesting." The cheaters who stole the election from Kari Lake not only had extra ballots but also had access to dirty voter rolls, flimsy poll books, bogus "signature verification" schemes, and a host of other "adjudication" tricks to get the result they wanted.
Just consider Arizona's 2022 midterm election. They had an infamous printing company on hand to "process" all the harvested ballots from both sides. To minimize whistleblowers, they hired all their people to handle the votes during the bogus process. They even installed an FBI agent from the "cyber division" to act as the Director of Elections for Arizona — and they installed her one year before the midterms.
That's total control of the system.
In other words, the cheaters have multiple games to defeat any GOP ballot-harvesting operation. That's just how the federal government works, as any contractor can tell you: "redundant" systems are always built-in in case of emergency. Do you think a bunch of GOP consultants will mislead the FBI, the CIA, and CISA and their army of proxy contractors hiding behind a labyrinth of shell companies with illegal contracts from state election boards that allow them to privatize America's elections?
Don't fool yourself: ballot harvesting won't be enough for the GOP to win.
Ballots are not enough. Tabulators are not sufficient. Poll books are not enough. Poll workers are not enough. You need to own and control the entire system because America's whole election system is built to be vulnerable.
That's why we must get rid of the electronic voting machines.
That's why we need paper ballots and one day to vote.
