To the editor:

Constitution, constitution, treason, treason, sedition, sedition, my hair is fire! Oh, let’s not forget we went from “There is no fraud” to “There was very little fraud to “There wasn’t enough fraud to change the election.” This is the war cry of the left, the Democrats, the RINOs and the pathetic excuse we have for a media in this country.

So let’s just break this down, shall we? To start, there are specific checks and balances in the Constitution for these situations. Specifically, the 12th Amendment, Article 1, Section 4, and most important Article 2, Section 1, Clause 2.

Moving on, since our schools fail to teach history, especially to journalism students. I’ll be happy to give a history lesson. In 2000, the electors were challenged by Democrats. In 2004, electors were challenged by, yup, Democrats. In 2016, Mad Max from California challenged the electors. But I digress. Let’s go back to 1960, when Hawaii’s electors were challenged by, again, Democrats. Oh yes, there was a little thing back in 1876 with the Hayes-Tilden election. Seems like again the Democrats committed fraud by exploiting people who couldn’t read, so they put Lincoln’s (a Republican) picture next to the Democratic candidate’s name. Once again, the Democrats committed fraud, and the Republican came out victorious.

So when I hear these attacks against Congresswoman Stefanik from people who hate the Constitution, have no understanding of our history and throw around words they don’t even understand, I have to speak up. By the way, I encourage all the “leadership” in the Republican Party to do the same. Elise is doing what is right. She is not only fighting for free and fair elections. She is also our voice, and she is the only one who can represent the over 65% of the people in the district who agree with me 100%. That is her job, this is what she is supposed to do, and I am very proud of her for doing so.

Finally, I forgot Democrats keep throwing around “democracy, democracy.” It’s an attack on democracy. Well NEWS FLASH for all of you educated folks on the left from a dumb farmer. The word democracy is not in the Constitution; we’re a constitutional republic!
