Reader believes election was stolen

To the editor:

I find it sad that Jack Ronald would criticize our congressman Jim Banks for the crime of defending the Constitution and the rule of law.

While JR thinks the Texas lawsuit is “loony,” the Constitution is not the least bit ambiguous about the power to write state election laws belonging to the state legislature. Not one word grants the authority to governors or liberal judges who consider the Constitution a list of recommendations. If the illegal and unconstitutional mail in ballots are thrown out, Donald Trump wins. The fact that the chicken center of the Supreme Court did not want to get embroiled in election politics does not in any way change the law.

When JR says the “election was conducted securely and fairly,” he ignores hundreds of depositions citing illegal and questionable vote counting, not to mention Dominion machines that could be manipulated. Hundreds of thousands of ballots were counted with Republican poll watchers not allowed to see what was actually happening.

While Democrats scream that Republicans are undermining confidence in our elections, it is the Democrats who have totally destroyed the integrity of those elections. And if Democrats actually believed the elections were honest and actually wanted to unify the country they would demand impartial and bipartisan investigations of all charges of election fraud instead of trying to white wash the whole thing.

The Russians spent about $100,000 on Facebook in 2016 and it was a three-year running scandal in the mainstream media. Hundreds of thousands of illegal ballots were cast and it was a fair election in 2020.

I will join the 62% of Republicans, 17% of Democrats and 28% percent of independents who believe the election was stolen. And I will never believe Joe Biden is the legitimate president.
