we must have a fair and honest election

You can only do so much to secure a border as long as ours. The simple and cheap method is to make E-Verify the Law of the land and fine any business that ignores it into bankruptcy. The system would pay for itself. Trump and the other politicians have suggested it in the past, then Nothing. Ever wonder Why that is, could it be that Neither Party really wants the issue to go away?

The gop will never go for it
 
if this election is not fair and honest, a civil war may be the result, a fair and balanced plan has to be laid down to insure this happens! Q 2024

If the USPS is not restored to normal function, the election will not be fair and honest.

Americans are not going to stand for deliberate sabotaging of the USPS to win an election.
 
The end result is more illegals by making it easier to cross the border as a result of terminating the wall

A wall is inefficient, a bad use of resources if you want to improve border security. It only slows people down a bit.
 
Neither will the Democrat's, niether Party wants to actually do anything.

That is because both parties want illegal immigration. It's the new slave class
 
mail in voting will be a disaster the dems want it, because they know the only way they can bet Trump is by cheating, if it is a fair election the dems have no chance of winning the only chance they have is stealing the election! Q 2024

Why is it so hard for you to see what really ill's America?

It's the new slave class

Not when you consider they're making 15 times more than they would make in their country of origin(wink)

Instant Run-off Voting

Instant Run-off Voting (IRV) allows voters to rank their candidates in order of choice: 1 for their first choice, 2, 3, and so on. If a candidate receives a majority of the votes, then that candidate wins. But when no candidate has a majority of votes, then the last place candidate is defeated, and in an instant second round of counting, the eliminated candidate’s votes go to each voter’s next choice. Your vote for second choice thus counts if your first choice is unable to win. Rounds of counting continue until there is a majority winner.

The system of IRV encourages electoral competition. Because each voter does not have to worry about "spoiling" the election or "wasting" their vote on a less popular 3rd party candidate, more citizens will be encouraged to participate in elections - both as voters and as candidates. Encouraging more candidates to run will foster a broader political debate and create a more engaged citizenry.

Currently, the US electoral system is in crisis; less than half the potential voters vote - the lowest in the Western, industrialized world. The winner-take-all election system often pushes voters to vote their fears and not their beliefs - or to simply not vote at all. We have not had a President win an election with the majority vote since the first President Bush. Having a president with less than majority support undermines the perceived voter mandate of the government, and reduces voter confidence in the overall electoral system. IRV will help fix these problems and will allow more citizens to vote for the candidates they truly support.

Advances for IRV are being made both around the world and within the United States. IRV is currently used in over 11 cities and states including Burlington, Vermont; Cary, North Carolina; San Fransisco, California; and Takoma Park, Maryland. It will soon be implemented in 8 additional cities; and for the 2007-2008 legislative session, IRV is being considered for gubenatorial, congressional, and local elections in 7 additional states including Minnesota, Arizona, Arkansas, and Colorado. IRV is also used in major elections in Australia, Ireland, and Great Britain.

Implementation of IRV will also save taxpayers money. By erasing the need for two-round runoff elections, IRV saves cities the cost of holding a second election. Before adopting IRV, San Fransisco spent as much as two million dollars on each runoff election. IRV would also alleviate the need for politicians to rely on special interest donors for large sums, since they would only need to raise money for one election instead of two.

Compared to the traditional electoral system, IRV is quicker, less expensive, and is more likely to reflect the desires of more voters. IRV is endorsed by the USA Today, The Nation, the League of Women Voters, as well as the Green Party and the Libertarian Party. IRV also enjoys bipartisan support in the 110th Congress.

As former Independent candidate John Anderson said in an article about the Ralph Nader 2004 Independent presidential campaign: "Having an election between two candidates is obviously better than a one-party dictatorship, but having an election among more than two candidates is better than a two-party duopoly." He then highlighted how Ross Perot’s candidacy increased voter interest in the presidential election and how that was healthy for our democracy. Anderson concluded: "With Instant Run-off Voting, we would determine a true majority winner in one election and banish the spoiler concept. Voters would not have to calculate possible perverse consequences of voting for their favorite candidate. They could vote their hopes, not their fears."

We have always had a fair and honest election. The only problem with our election process is the fact that 75% of the people are too lazy to even vote. Oh we do a little better during the presidential election when some of the lazy actually make an effort if it is popular. We get a better turn out to buy a pet rock.
 
I was just talking to the wife about this. All kidding aside, I have been prepping since 2012. I knew if we could elect Obama, there wasn't much time left in a civil society. However, there was always some clear skies ahead beyond the darkened skies. Just that sliver you see between the horizon and the clouds. But this is different. I see no horizon, we have put ourselves in a box and the lid is starting to seal. Its going to be a contested election no matter who wins. Trump wins, I see massive riots at a scale that makes today's riots look like a weenie roast. Elect Biden, the aftermath if he indeeds follows through with mask, testing and vaccine mandates, gun confiscation, higher taxes and open borders will be equally frowned upon. Will the Trump base take to the streets with widespread violence like the BLM/Anitifa liberal crowd?

Call me Joe Concerned.

The Trump base will never take to the streets with widespread violence. They're not cut from that cloth.
