Rigging the vote

In case you were wondering why I am not voting for the Florida Republican candidate for Governor, here is another reason:

I tried to find a the full length version of this speech on youtube, but no luck.

The Republicans have put up a DEI ticket for Governor- a Black Candidate from New York City with a criminal history of drugs and credit card fraud, along with his Cuban Running mate who decides that winning the Spanish vote is the path to victory. This is the ticket they decided to run with over the Green Beret.

Note that I don’t have a problem with him because he is Cuban- I have a problem with those who move here and demand that we change to suit them. So if you refuse to speak English or want things just like they were in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, or wherever you are from, GTFOH.

Yeah. I’m about to vote for a third party candidate. I will have to do some research to see which one isn’t a complete asshole.

I promised a review of statewide races, so let’s start with the easy ones: The proposed Amendments to the state constitution:

Amendment 1

This would increase the state reserve fund from $5 billion now, to about $12.5 billion. The amendment proposes adding $750 million a year to the fund until the new amount is reached, meaning paying into it for the next 10 years, at least. I’m voting no. In general, I am voting no on every single resolution that involves the government getting more money.

Amendment 2

An amendment to the State Constitution to exempt tangible personal property for land that is classified for agricultural and the land from ad valorem taxation. Normally, as I said this would be a yes for me. This one is a bit trickier than that. Developers in the state already use the “agricultural” classification to get bigger tax breaks. They put a cow or two on the land, never actually farm it, but reap the tax benefits.

Colloquially known as the “Rent-A-Cow” loophole, this strategy allows land speculators and builders to slash their property taxes by up to 97% on prime commercial or residential land. They do this by leasing the land to cattle ranchers or putting a few cows on it to maintain a “bona fide” agricultural status right up until they pave it over for subdivisions.

Historically, Disney famously used this loophole for decades, keeping a small herd of cattle on undeveloped portions of its theme park empire to save millions in property taxes. I’m voting no, mostly because I am opposed to special carve outs designed to help one set of people at the expense of another.

Amendment 3:

This one increases the homestead exemption in a staged manner from its current $50,000 to $150,000 in the first year, and $250,000 in the second. I’m voting yes on this one.

That’s it for the statewide amendments.

The Republicans have control of the White House, the Senate, the House, and on most things, they are getting SCOTUS decisions. They STILL can’t or won’t do shit. Is “at least we aren’t doing anything, but the dems will” the entire campaign? TPUSA would have made a difference, but I don’t know if they are going to recover from Kirk’s murder.

Traditionally, the party in power takes a hit during midterms. If the party is power does nothing, and let’s admit the truth, they haven’t done anything, then the party in power will lose big. The people in the center who will vote for the party who is best for them will go, “Why did I vote for these Republicans again after they never did the job I elected them to do? You Republicans told me you would fix Biden’s shitty economy, but you actually made things worse.”

For those reasons, the upcoming elections are going to be horrific. All the Republicans had to do was fulfill the promises they made just two years ago, but they have done nothing. Whatever goodwill they earned because Biden was demented is gone.

As for me, when sample ballots come out, I will decide race by race which candidate has earned my vote. My number one criteria is, and always has been, gun rights. They are a great metric, as a person who is opposed to gun rights isn’t going to be all that favorable to rights in general.

State Sen. Ileana Garcia (District 36) is the sole Republican who voted against Florida’s 2023 permitless carry bill and is running for reelection in 2026. District 36 is northern Seminole county, including Sanford, Lake Mary, and Longwood.

I don’t live in Seminole County, but that’s something to think about if you do.

As soon as I research the sample ballot I got, I will post my thoughts on the statewide races.

China doesn’t need to invade. They almost own us already. The Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands has a population of about 50,000 people, but 1.5 million US citizens have been born there to Chinese mothers since 2009.

This is how it works. China now has 1.5 million US birth certificates, with the oldest of them turning 18 years old next year. Those birth certificates can now be used to register to vote in any state that allows registration online or by mail. They can also request mail in ballots, with some states sending them ballots without a request.

Now the Chinese government has millions of votes in US elections. They don’t need to invade, because they can use Chinese vaginas as vote factories.

One of the things we hear constantly from the left is “there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud” in US elections. There is plenty of evidence of fraud at the grassroots level, however. There is the case of Laura Lee Yourex of Costa Mesa, California, who registered her dog to vote and cast ballots in at least two elections for the dog. In October 2024, the dog received a ballot, despite the fact that the dog had died. She didn’t do it with the intention of actually affecting the election- the did it to prove that California’s balloting system is rife with fraud. Once the dog cast a ballot, she turned herself in. Perhaps that’s the real reason she is being prosecuted with 5 felony charges.

Two million dead people are registered to vote, with another 24 million ballots being incomplete or incorrect THAT WE KNOW OF. There is also the problem of people voting in multiple states. The guy in this news story specializes in catching Republicans who do so.

A few Republican voters have been caught and convicted of voting in multiple states as a result of his efforts. Of course, he hasn’t reported any Democrats that I am aware of. He claims to be nonpartisan, but his Twitter handle is @bluebroward. In case you weren’t aware, Broward is the county in Florida most famous for taking days to discover tens of thousands of ballots in more than a couple of Florida elections.

Democrats like Chuck Schumer argued for ID checks in the 90s to prevent illegal aliens from committing voting fraud. Now he and the rest of Democrats are opposed to it. Why? If ID checks were protecting the system then, but are attacking democracy now, the only thing that’s actually changed is which side of the ballot they’re worried about. Consistency isn’t the goal; the goal is the goal.

If the US saw even a fraction of these voting issues in another country, we would accuse that country of not having valid elections. It’s time to clean this up.
