As long as there have been elections, people have looked for ways to manipulate them to their advantage. In a republic where we elect people to represent us, it is important that everyone do their best to identify, expose, and limit manipulations of the election process.
From the repeat of federal agencies using claims of “foreign disinformation” to hide uncomfortable facts to political party machinations being used to manipulate who their candidate is, these examples of election manipulation are being exposed. So what are we going to do about it?

For example, the Fulton County Georgia Board of Elections has asked the State Attorney General to reopen an investigation into the 2020 ballot counting, the same investigation the board had closed back in May. Virginia has found over 6,300 noncitizens on its voter rolls. What are they doing to remove those names and prevent more from being illegally registered to vote?
Here is another way to undermine our national elections as a free Republic:
Maine becomes the 17th state to join the illegal ‘National Popular Vote Compact’ to undermine our elections
Maine recently enacted a law titled “An Act to Adopt an Interstate Compact to Elect the President of the United States by National Popular Vote.” What most people don’t realize is that it is unconstitutional for Maine, not to mention the sixteen other states, to join this compact. This compact is the latest attempt to transform the United States from a republic of republics into a democracy. As Vladimir Lenin said, “Democracy is indispensable to socialism.”
The decision of Maine and of the 16 other states that have joined this illegal compact shows not only the utter failure of our education system to teach the Constitution and basic civics but also the abandonment of our Constitutional Republic. It’s more than just the citizens choosing the President rather than the states. This move toward a national popular vote is another step in turning the President into a king. After all, when the President is a chief executive serving the states as parties to the compact that is the United States Constitution, his role is limited, defined, and controlled by the states. By placing the choice of President in the hands of the people, the states would no longer have any say in the role of the President. Rather than the administrator envisioned by the Framers and enshrined in the Constitution, we will have created a man of the people, doing what he thinks the people want, without limitation or restriction. But the Presidency is not a position of the people, rather it is effectively held by a political party and their policies. As George Washington warned us:
The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty.
