| The UniParty Rides To The Rescue Of Mail-In Voting In Pennsylvania |
| 2021-10-15 |
| [AND Magazine] You hear a lot in certain circles about the UniParty. That’s short for the idea that there often does not seem to be much difference between the policies of establishment Republicans and establishment Democrats. They spend a lot of time posturing, but at the end of the day they seem to be more closely aligned than they want you to believe. This phenomenon is on full display in the state of Pennsylvania right now. The Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the Pennsylvania Democratic Party are taking action to intervene in litigation brought by a county election official. That litigation seeks to have Act 77, the bill that created mail-in voting in Pennsylvania, declared unconstitutional under the state constitution, which according to plaintiffs, requires changes to voting to be an amendment to the state’s constitution. Here’s the kicker. Act 77 was passed by a Republican-controlled state legislature. It was, in fact, rammed through both houses by the Republican leadership. So, this bill, which the Republican establishment in Pennsylvania so desperately wanted is now to be defended by the Democratic Party. The Democratic National Committee is riding to the rescue of the Republican establishment to protect it from a lawsuit brought by members of the Patriot base. The Democrats have arrived to save the ’country club’ Harrisburg set from the rank and file of the Republican Party in Pennsylvania. HOW DID WE GET HERE? In 2019 the Republican establishment in Pennsylvania decided that Donald Trump was a liability. They believed he would drag down the whole ticket in the 2020 elections. At that time Pennsylvania still had a system whereby you could cast a straight party vote. You could simply vote for all Republicans or all Democrats. The boys in the backrooms in the state capital believed that Donald Trump was so unpopular people would show up and simply vote against all Republicans. They wanted to get rid of straight party voting and require everyone to go office by office choosing whom to vote for individually. They believed — in this way — they could insulate their down-ballot candidates from the "taint" of association with the sitting Republican President. The party bosses wanted to cut away Donald Trump. So, they engaged in some good old-fashioned political horse trading. In exchange for Democratic support for ending straight party voting, the Republican establishment gave the Democrats mail-in voting. Never mind that every person on the planet who had ever studied mail-in voting said it would be a disaster and an open invitation to electoral fraud. The important thing was to get clear of Donald Trump. Act 77 was passed. The establishment got what it wanted. The Democratic Party got what it had always wanted, the ability to steal elections. |

| #1 You can have so-called "mail in voting" or you can have a republic. It does not appear that you can actually have both. |
