Why did they stop?

My latest interview, for Paul Harrell’s Millstone Report, can be found here. In it, we discuss a question that has been bothering me for the past few days. Why did the bad guys pull the plug on their cheating at 3:30 AM on November 6?

Until then, the 2024 election looked a lot like the 2020 election. Trump had already won a number of safe states and had strong leads in others. Harris, like Biden before her, had also won a few states, all safe for Democrats. By 3:30 AM election eve in both elections, Trump looked unbeatable. He had such a strong lead in the remaining states that he couldn’t lose. Many of the same states were still in play on both nights: Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Georgia.

In some ways, Trump was in better shape in 2020 than in 2024. At 3:30 AM Election eve, he had a nearly 700,000 vote lead over Biden in Pennsylvania. A few nights ago, he only led Harris by about 130,000 votes at the same time. A friend called me around midnight and said, “Trump won. I’m going to bed.” I wasn’t so sure. That’s how I felt at 3:30 on November 4th, 2020 when I went to bed. On that night, I thought it was literally impossible for Biden to win. The math didn’t support any outcome other than a Trump victory.

So I went to sleep at 3:30 in 2020, confident Trump would win. But he didn’t. A few weeks later, videos started emerging of white panel trucks driving up to tabulation centers and dropping off ballots late on the night of the election. This, it seemed, was where Biden’s impossible “victory” had come from. Or so it looked (and still does). I told my friend I would stay up.

At 3:30, the trucks arrived again, in Philadelphia and Michigan. I thought, “They’re going to do it again.” I’ve had multiple dreams dating back years that Trump would win this election, but when I saw those trucks, it felt like I was back in 2020. They’d also just announced that counting would stop for the night, the same lie that was told in 2020, as late night counting continued.

Then, Pennsylvania was announced for Trump. That brought him so close to 270 electoral votes that he became almost certain to win. Then he got Wisconsin, and he had won. How? There was no doubt in my mind that he had earned the highest number of legitimate votes, but fraud was an unknown quantity. I believed Harris’ legitimate vote count was likely lower than reported, but fraud could have been used to drastically increase her share.

The two most obvious answers, assuming there was fraud, are these:

• The fraud perpetrators decided, for whatever reason, it was too risky to push further than they had already, so they called off any other plans they might have had.

• The fraud was blocked by action taken by election overseers.

It could also be a combination of the two. Increased oversight of the election may have stopped some things, not others, but had raised the risk profile so much that the bad guys gave up.

And then we have the curious case of Arizona, which still hasn't finished counting its ballots four days later. Kari Lake and Ruben Gallego are separated by about 34,000 votes, in Gallego's favor. He has 1,394,484 votes to Lake's 1,360,586. What is odd about this is that Kamala Harris only received 1,318,188 votes in Arizona. This means that Gallego received (so far) 76,296 votes more than Harris although both are Democrats.

This suggests three unlikely scenarios:

1. Trump voters are crossing party lines to vote for Democratic senator Gallego

2. Gallego voters are crossing party lines to vote for Republican Trump instead of Democrat Harris

3. Some voters are only filling out the Senate race (voting for Gallego) while skipping the presidential race

For example, if a Republican voter marks their ballot for Trump (president) and Gallego (Senate) instead of the typical party-line vote for Trump and Lake, this would explain part of the vote discrepancy. However, such split-ticket voting would be unusual in today's highly partisan political environment, especially given both races' high profile.

This leads me to the conclusion that cheating is still going on in Arizona to ensure a Gallego victory. That, and my recent study of Arizona’s rolls, which found ID number algorithms and a very high number of clones in Arizona.

Why concede the president but not an AZ senate race? This isn’t the only down ballot oddity, and that only raises more questions.

I’m pleased with Trump’s victory, but can’t help wondering why, when the brakes were applied to fraud in the presidential race, the same didn’t happen for every other race. Of course, this assumes there was fraud, but there are a number of reasons to think there was, thanks to the broad array of other under-handed means employed by the left in the runup to the election:

• Simultaneous lawfare campaigns against Trump in multiple states

• Media censorship to favor Harris over Trump

• 2 assassination attempts

• Attempt to force Trump into bankruptcy through crippling fines

• Attempts to remove Trump from the ballot in multiple states

And that isn’t counting actual fraud discovered in the days preceding the election: Thousands of fake registrations, tabulators flipping votes (registering Trump vote as Harris), Attempts to remove Republican poll watchers, as well as broken/non-functional tabulators in Republican districts.

So, why did it stop for Trump, and why is it continuing for Lake? My guess is that this has to do with the specific people involved. There are a lot of “bad guys” and maybe they aren’t all in lockstep. Arizona may happen to have someone particularly devoted to the idea of preventing a win by Lake.

I think we’ll know the answer soon, regardless of the purported outcome of that election, thanks to Trump’s victory. Somehow, we’re going to get to the bottom of this and the rats will run.
