Will we even know who won on election day? Democrat-run states and counties are threatening to drag out their vote counting for days. But let’s look at eight specific cases where there have been voting controversies that could drag out the election. Remember, there is only one way to guarantee that the election is decided quickly: IF IT’S NOT CLOSE, THEY CAN’T CHEAT.

Here’s the article from Daily Signal:

Election Day is accompanied by some major voting controversies in battleground states, with lawsuits and investigations looking into alleged voter registration fraud, overseas ballots, and complaints about how some jurisdictions follow election law.

Both Democrats and Republicans brought lawsuits.

Some matters already have been settled. For example, the U.S. Supreme Court sided last week with Virginia by allowing the state to remove the names of 1,600 noncitizens from the voter rolls. And in Pennsylvania, Republicans successfully sued to extend early voting hours.

However, courts tossed other election cases on procedural grounds or cases remain unsettled and could prompt arguments in close elections.

Here are eight issues to look out for, both on Election Day and after.

And here are the eight controversies:

1. Voter Registration in Pennsylvania
2. Undelivered, Duplicate Ballots
3. Overseas Mail Ballots
4. 218,000 Arizona Voters With No Proof of Citizenship
5. Georgia Ballot Centers
6. Nevada Postmarks
7. Iowa and Noncitizen Voting
8. Unsent Mail Ballots in Georgia

My read on the election is that whoever wins Pennsylvania will win the election. I don’t see Trump winning either Wisconsin or Michigan, and especially Michigan. But Pennsylvania could go either way.

So let’s take a look at the two Pennsylvania stories:

At least four jurisdictions in Pennsylvania are investigating potential voter registration fraud.

State prosecutors in Pennsylvania’s Lancaster County are investigating two batches of about 2,500 voter registration forms that may include several hundred fraudulent forms.

As of Monday afternoon, the Lancaster County District Attorney’s Office had determined that 17% of the forms were fraudulent. Another 57% were determined to be legitimate, WPMT-TV (Fox 43) reported. The rest were still being investigated.

York County officials also are investigating potential voter registration fraud. Of a batch of 3,087 forms, about 24% were declined after being found to be duplicate requests.

York County also is reviewing challenges to 350 overseas mail-in ballots.

And the Monroe County District Attorney’s Office last week identified fraudulent voter registration forms. A specific number wasn’t given and the investigation continues, the Pocono Record reported.

Berks County also referred two potential voter registration violations for investigation.

And this one:

Republicans lost three federal lawsuits regarding a law called the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act, which governs how Americans living overseas can vote in federal elections.

The GOP lawsuits over UOCAVA focused largely on nonmilitary overseas voters, many of whom indicated no intention to return to the United States.

Six Republican members of the U.S. House sued Pennsylvania over the state’s counting procedures. The GOP lawmakers’ complaint says that about 15,000 nonmilitary American voters living abroad but casting ballots in Pennsylvania elections should have to provide the same personal identification as Pennsylvania residents.

But U.S. District Judge Christopher Conner determined last Tuesday—one week before Election Day—that an injunction could “upend the commonwealth’s carefully laid election administration procedures to the detriment of untold thousands of voters.”

Michigan Court of Appeals Judge Sima Patel ruled against the Republican National Committee’s challenge to rules in the U.S. law. The RNC challenge was based on nonresidents’ dependents who live abroad voting in state elections. Patel ruled that the GOP lawsuit was an attempt to “disenfranchise” voters.

Similarly, North Carolina Superior Court Judge John Smith ruled that the RNC challenge “presented no substantial evidence” of fraudulent voting.

I think that the fact that Pennsylvania is run by Democrats who will be counting the votes gives Kamala Harris the edge.

Young women have been going out to vote for her in battleground states in droves:

Historian Allan Lichtman has suggested that the apparent gender gap in swing state early voting could be a “huge advantage” for Vice President Kamala Harris.

[…]Lichtman broke down data from early voting in the all-important swing states from NBC News’ early voting tracker.

It showed that in Michigan 56 percent of early voters were women and 44 percent were men. “That’s huge,” the American University professor said.

In Wisconsin the figure was 51 percent women and 43 percent men, while in Pennsylvania it was 56 to 43 percent.

“So we’re talking about anywhere between an eight- and 13-point gap between men and women,” Lichtman said.

“And, presuming the gender gap holds, that means a huge advantage in these states.”

Young women are passionate about their right to end a pregnancy using violence. And sadly, older women have not taught them that it’s wrong to do that. So, if young men don’t balance out the election with Republican votes, then I think that the Democrats will win this election. They will win the battleground states, and that will do it.

I enjoyed watching Pearl interview these Democrat voters in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and you can really hear what their main concern is – it’s abortion rights.

I’m just not seeing much passion from people on the right in general. I’m the only one in my subdivision with election signs out. It’s strange because I have enough money saved that I can retire early, and I’ll be OK. But the people who have children – they are the ones who will be in real trouble. Their children will be stuck with the bill for all this government spending. They will be slaves, working so that their masters – the selfish adults of today – can live high on the hog. I just don’t understand why people who will be the most impacted are doing less than I am to stop the socialism.

The title of this blog post is a paraphrase from Kristen Waggoner. Kristen is the CEO, president and lead lawyer for the Alliance Defending Freedom, a law firm that champions First Amendment rights up to the Supreme Court. Kristen argues many of these cases herself. She has defended the rights of free speech and religious liberty of Christians against the secular left many times.

Here’s her latest article in the Daily Signal:

[Vice President Kamala] Harris has consistently undermined the freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment. That should alarm every American.

As I told Wall Street Journal columnist William McGurn: “Throughout her career as a public official, Kamala Harris has long used government power to try to coerce people of faith to violate their consciences, especially regarding abortion and gender ideology.”

[…]The Biden-Harris Treasury Department conspired with major banks to flag transactions of ordinary citizens making purchases at Dick’s Sporting Goods, Bass Pro Shops, and Cabela’s, and buying “religious texts” like Bibles, under the guise of identifying potential “domestic terrorists.”

The Justice Department under the Biden-Harris administration similarly went after parents who spoke up at school board meetings in an infamous 2021 memo, equating their advocacy on behalf of their kids with “harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence.”

[…]In a speech to the NAACP, she said that social media platforms “have a responsibility to help fight against this threat to our democracy.”

Who would Harris classify as a “threat to our democracy”? Presumably, the same people her administration labeled as potential “domestic terrorists”; namely, concerned parents, nonprofit charitable organizations, and guys who like to camp, among others.

What I like about Kristen’s column is that she recalled all of the times that the Biden-Harris administration has gone after people’s first amendment rights.

Here is another case, the “Twitter Files”, which were internal documents released by Elon Musk that showed how the Biden-Harris administration pressured social media companies to censor factual news stories that made their regime look bad, such as the Hunter Biden laptop story.

Kristen writes:

As the explosive “Twitter Files” documented, the Biden-Harris administration indeed colluded with social media companies to suppress ideas and voices that didn’t conform to the “official” narrative around several issues of public interest that required free and open debate.

And the Biden-Harris response to getting caught was to try to destroy Elon Musk:

An Oct. 22 investigative report by independent journalists Matt Taibbi and Paul D. Thacker uncovered a plot by a group of foreign advisers to the vice president to “Kill Musk’s Twitter” and to solicit the help of Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., one of the leading proponents of online speech suppression.

As I’ve reported on this blog, Harris does not want to grant conscience exemptions to Christian medical professionals that would allow them to opt out of performing abortions. She wants pro-life Christians to be forced to perform abortions, in violation of their religious liberty. And she also colluded with abortion providers and raided the homes of pro-life whistleblowers.

More:

During an interview with NBC, when asked whether she supported a “religious exemption” for medical professionals who choose not to participate in abortion, Harris responded, “I don’t think we should be making concessions when we’re talking about a fundamental freedom to make decisions about your own body.”

[…]As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Harris badgered at least three judicial nominees for having been members of the respected Catholic nonprofit Knights of Columbus, which has more than 2 million members. Harris may be unaware, but the Constitution expressly prohibits religious tests for holding public office.

Legislatively, then-Sen. Harris sponsored the Do No Harm Act, a bill that would gut the Religious Freedom Restoration Act—one of the most important federal safeguards for religious freedom—primarily for the benefit of the abortion industry.

She also cosponsored the Equality Act, which would wipe out freedom of conscience and free speech by giving the federal government the power to police and punish the beliefs of disfavored Americans who have not submitted to the new sexual orthodoxy.

As attorney general of California, Harris celebrated the passage of the Reproductive FACT Act, which effectively required pro-life pregnancy resource centers to advertise for abortionists, and defended it in court on more than one occasion.

In one case, A Woman’s Friend Pregnancy Resource Clinic v. Harris, a federal court upheld the law, which would have forced pregnancy help centers to comply with a bizarre array of coerced-speech mandates.

[…]In 2015, journalist David Daleiden exposed Planned Parenthood’s grisly practice of selling the body parts of aborted babies in a series of undercover videos. Did Harris, as attorney general, investigate Planned Parenthood for trafficking fetal organs?

No. She went after Daleiden in 2016—instead of her abortion industry allies and donors—raiding his home and seizing his equipment. And eight years later, his legal troubles are far from over. Daleiden still faces eight felony charges in an unprecedented case.

Now, I know a lot of wealthy establishment “Christians” who are in favor of Kamala Harris. When I ask them about these stories, they have never heard of any of them. Not a single one of them. When I ask them to name one of the Christian business owners who have been sued by LGBT activists, they don’t know about any of those cases, either. And that’s not surprising, because many of these wealthy establishment “Christians” have no Christian life plan. So, they are not authentic enough about their faith that they feel threatened in any way by secular left fascism. But what about you? Are you a Bible-believing Christian? If you are, then I hope enough evidence has been presented here to cause you to vote, and to make sure that your friends and family vote, too. ESPECIALLY if you are in one of these battleground states, where the races are all tied, or nearly tied. Remember, if it’s not close, they can’t cheat.

I try to keep an eye out for any podcasts that look really good, and when I saw one of our former Knight and Rose Show guests (Dr. Luskin) being interviewed by another former Knight and Rose Show guest (Dr. Frank Turek) on a very interesting topic: the shortcomings of the Darwinian theory of origins.  In this post, you’ll find a YouTube video, a link to the MP3 file, and an outline of topics.

In the episode, they discuss the change of heart that some evolutionists are having as the evidence turns against their theory. We talked about the evidence from junk DNA with Dr. Luskin, but he talks about a bunch of different topics in this episode with Dr. Turek.

Here’s the outline from the Cross Examined blog:

• What are some key differences between micro and macroevolution?
• What did later research reveal about the Galápagos Island finches and how does it compare to Darwin’s findings?
• What is epigenetics and how does it relate to the case for Intelligent Design?
• Why are some biologists hesitant to openly share their doubts about Neo-Darwinism, while others are increasingly vocal?
• What’s the difference between Darwinism and Neo-Darwinism?
• What are the strongest arguments for a common ancestor?
• Are non-coding regions of the human genome really “junk DNA”?
• What about the God of the Gaps argument?
• Are proponents of Intelligent Design religiously motivated?
• What are the 4 basic L.I.F.E. problems found within macroevolutionary theory?

You can download the MP3 file here.

Here’s the YouTube video:

We’re trying to interview good scholars on the origins debate for the Knight and Rose Show, and so far we’ve had:

• Guillermo Gonzalez: Earth is Designed for Discovery
• Casey Luskin: Debunking the Myth of Junk DNA
• Chemist Fazale Rana Investigates the Origin of Life

And here is the book where you can learn about all of these interesting topics!

The Comprehensive Guide to Science and Faith: Exploring the Ultimate Questions About Life and the Cosmos

I have the audio book and the paperback versions.

Stay tuned, because we have a guest scheduled to discuss another topic in the design vs evolution debate. That episode will probably be out in January, though. We got the best guest that you could possibly get on this topic! And we have a couple more topics and guests in mind for later.
