What is the greatest threat to free and fair elections in America? Here’s a hint: it’s not Russia or any other foreign power. It’s not a person, either. It’s something much more subtle, and much more dangerous. Investigative reporter Eric Eggers has the answer.
Workers of the world unite—to protect your freedom. You have nothing to lose, but your jobs... Which is exactly what is happening in California. And threatening to spread to the rest of the country. Just what we need, right? Fewer jobs and fewer people employed. Why is this happening?
In the town where I grew up in El Salvador,
we had one school. It was old and run-down. There weren’t enough teachers. There weren’t enough textbooks. But my mother was a determined woman, and she had a plan—an amazing plan. I and my siblings would not get our education in El Salvador. We would get it in America.
So we left our home, our family—everything and everyone we had ever known. I guess you could say it was an extreme example of school choice.
It was a miserable bus ride to California—long and hot. But we made it.
That was the easy part.
Is there a problem with universal mail-in balloting?
Sounds simple enough: You fill out a ballot, stick it in the mail; somebody counts it on Election Day. In fact, we already do that with absentee ballots, right? So why would universal mail-in balloting be any different?
Well, the biggest difference is that with absentee ballots, the voter specifically asks for a ballot.
With universal mail-in balloting, ballots are mailed out en masse. Millions of people who would normally go to the polls vote by mail instead.
Almost everyone has heard of the doctrine of the “separation of church and state.” Most Americans believe that it’s in the United States Constitution.
But there is no such phrase in the Constitution.
And there never was—for a simple reason: The Founding Fathers never intended for church and state to be completely separate. They saw religion—specifically, religions based
on the Bible—as indispensable to the moral foundation of the nation they were creating.
