Votes vs. Ballots—How Poll-Winners Lose Elections

PRAY WITH US about votes vs. ballots: Father God, we thank You for Your Holy Spirit. For He searches all things, even the deep things of God. So search out the results of these 2020 elections. And if You see results that should not stand, do not let them stand. Because Your people have been praying and working hard for verifiable results. We have been upholding biblical values in the issues that people have been voting on. And we have seen great responses when Your truth comes out.

So let Your truth shine on all the election results. Many of them will make a great difference in the ways that states and the nation will turn. Establish only those candidates and measures who will work toward fulfilling Your good purposes for all of us. For those who have gained their offices wrongly for wrong purposes, do not let their purposes stand. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. In Jesus’ name, amen.

PRAYER ALERT: Votes vs. Ballots—How Poll-Winners Lose Elections

Pollsters predicted Republicans winning the Senate by several seats and the House by several dozen. So what happened? The Senate races have resulted in a near-even split. And the House races show no clear majority yet. Now Republicans seemed poised to win the House only by a margin of 10-20 seats out of 435.

Lax rules since the pandemic have produced mail-ins and collection drop-off boxes with skewed results. 2012 records show only 25 million early or absentee ballots cast. And they had a 5% rejection rate. But 2022 records show four times as many early or absentee ballots. And ballot rejection rate is about 20 times less in most states. Because many states are counting late ballots & ballots with errors in names, addresses and signatures.

We must identify the crucial difference between votes and ballots. A valid vote requires a voter showing ID that must match his or her records. Then that one voter must fill out one ballot and put it in a ballot box. Only then can that one vote be counted as one vote. In this way a dead person or non-resident cannot cast a valid vote.

On the other hand, a ballot has many blanks that anyone can fill in. More Democrats are focusing not on winning votes, but on providing as many ballots as possible. Then they can manipulate the results by either filling out ballots themselves, or by ballot-harvesting. All kinds of cheating can occur in ballot-harvesting unless only valid voters can cast valid votes.
