Sheila Nix, Vice President Harris' campaign chief of staff, has pushed for online voting despite security concerns, Just the News reported. Critics recognize the pitfalls of mobile voting, including massive exposure to fraud.
Democrats insist that America's elections are fair and free from fraud. However, they always support methods that open up the possibility of fraud, whether vote-by-mail or mobile voting.
Nix is yet another in a cacophony of left-wing voices calling for things that will jeopardize the legitimacy of elections. She and disgraced former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich co-founded an organization favoring this idea.
As the president of Tusk Montgomery Philanthropies, she and the organization's co-founder Bradley Tusk penned an opinion piece championing mobile voting. They glossed over the problems of fraud and hacking in this 2017 piece.
The Observer piece, titled "The Best Argument for Mobile Voting? Abysmal Primary Turnouts," justified online voting to drive turnout. This opinion piece came on the heels of former President Donald Trump's 2016 presidential win.
"We all perform complicated transactions on our phones every day—we move money, buy goods and services, and express our views and ideas using them. For most of us, our phone is more than a utility—it’s indispensable," Nix and Tusk wrote.
"Yet when it comes to the act that fundamentally maintains our democracy, we toss aside the object we rely on most and revert to an outdated, difficult approach." They mentioned obstacles, including work hours and childcare and the hassles of finding the polling place and dealing with the people running it.
"Not surprisingly, few people bother. The solution is simple: If we want more people to vote, we have to make it easier to do so. If voting requires just opening an app, a lot more people will do it," Nix and Tusk argued.
They only gave cursory acknowledgment of the problem of fraud. "Some will be legitimate (such as concerns about fraud and hacking), but most will not. But there will be some officials brave enough to do what’s right. We need to find them and convince them to begin the process," the opinion piece asserted.
If voting for America's leaders is so crucial to democracy, as Democrats say, then there's no reason they should be calling for methods that are easy to hack. Still, Democrats routinely object to commonsense concerns about vote-by-mail and fight voter ID laws tooth and nail.
In 2021, Georgia sought to tighten its election laws with simple changes like limiting the number of drop boxes for ballots and providing proof identification for absentee ballots. The left, including President Joe Biden, went absolutely insane over this.
"I’m convinced that we’ll be able to stop this, because it is the most pernicious thing—this makes Jim Crow look like Jim Eagle. This is gigantic what they’re trying to do and it cannot be sustained," Biden barked.
There is nothing racist about secure elections, but the narrative is always the same. For Nix to push online voting, which makes it significantly easier to commit fraud, only adds to the suspicion that fraud is a feature and not a bug.
There's no reason people can't show up on Election Day once a year for something so important as voting. Objections to traditional voting provide convenient cover for the least secure options, and Democrats push for it every time.
