Smoke-free in northern Wisconsin today. Chilly and a bit wet.

Original Mike ayon kay ...

"On Friday, a three-judge panel temporarily revived the Trump Administration’s executive order requiring strict new security and transparency standards for mail-in voting ahead of the 2026 midterms."

"It merely requires all mail and absentee ballots to be placed in secure envelopes marked with the official Election Mail logo. More importantly, it requires Intelligent Mail Barcodes to track ballots throughout the entire mailing process, start to finish.

States must even provide a pre-mailing notice to USPS —a “Mail-In and Absentee Participation List”— detailing the voters who’ll be included and the unique barcode associated with each voter.

Why does this terrify Democrats? Because it closes two of the biggest, most obvious vectors for mail-in ballot fraud.

First, it eliminates the “last-minute manufactured ballot” problem. By requiring states to submit a list of expected mail-in voters before the ballots go out, and tying each ballot to a unique, trackable barcode, it becomes mathematically impossible for a sudden, unexplained pallet of ballots to mysteriously appear at a counting center at 3:00 a.m. If the barcode wasn’t on the pre-approved outbound list, the USPS system flags it.

And if a ballot is not in the USPS database at all— then it must have come from somewhere else.

Second, it stops any backdating of postmarks. One of the persistent concerns with mail-in voting has been the potential for corrupt postal workers to illegally backdate postmarks on ballots received after Election Day, allowing late ballots to be counted anyway.

The Intelligent Mail Barcode tracks the ballot’s physical progress all the way through the postal system in real-time. A manual, backdated ink stamp means nothing if the digital barcode scan shows the ballot didn’t enter the postal stream until two days after the election."

Sounds like sensible reform.

I was in the middle of the Boundary Waters canoe wilderness a few years ago, during a dry spell. The only mechanical sound we heard for the week was when a Canadian water bomber skimmed the lake we were traversing to pick up a load and return to the fire a few miles away.

I notice the location of some of the bigger fire areas are in NW Ontario, more populated and closer to the US border, but the severest ones that seem to be generating the worst smoke are in Saskatchewan and way up in the Northwest Territories.

In Trump'"s speech -- he made several unsubstantiated claims. One of them was about China interfering in the 2020 election. He talked about vulnerabilities in the US voting system. He said that our elections were left vulnerable to being rigged and stolen.

He said the Chinese government wanted him to lose the next election, which I guess is the midterm election because of his tariff strategy. And he said that some of the documents that were released revealed that members of a deep state had been working actively to suppress and downplay information about the extent of China's sinister election meddling.

The irony to me of the whole speech was that basically Trump released this huge tranche of documents that have been classified up until now. But the documents that he released actually rebut the claims he made during the course of that speech. And one of the claims was that China had interfered by somehow stealing these data roles. But actually, it turns out that those voter roles were available on commercial websites.

Another of the claims that he made was that foreign interference had been working against Trump as opposed to for Trump, which is what we know in the case of Russia. And then the irony I felt of the whole speech was that in one of the documents that he released, it says that adversaries could make wholly fabricated claims that they have compromised all US voting machines and those claims could introduce public doubts about the validity of the election and undercut public confidence in the election. That comes from one of the documents Trump released.

What was he doing for half an hour from the East Room of the White House? He was doing the work of the people that America's own intelligence community in one of the documents that he declassified calls America's adversaries. Given these contradictions, it’s difficult to take the claims in that speech at face value.

'...More importantly, it requires Intelligent Mail Barcodes to track ballots throughout the entire mailing process, start to finish.....'

...'It's not perfect. It seems like ballots can still be intercepted and filled out by ballot harvesters....'

The tracking mechanism will allow querying, which can reveal mass mailings, i.e. multiple ballots mailed at the same time.

I see elsewhere that the SAVE Act is being reconfigured to allow attaching it to the budget reconciliation process, where it can pass with simple majority in the Senate. However, I fear that the key points will be stripped - i.e., photo ID for voting and citizenship proof for registering. I hope this isn't the case, but the perfidy of RINO Senators seems to have the conspiratorial support of the media, which allows them to continue pretending that it 'can't be passed because we don't have the votes'.

Yep. And the pre-mailing list can reveal multiple ballots mailed to the same address.

Rhhardin is right.

It seems like we're getting smoke here (50 miles north of the Atlanta perimeter). But it could be local. Smoke slips in my holler while the mailbox above is clear, and the turtles below are suspended in white air. I have three ecosystems. The bull next door has been screaming all night, so something is up, though it could be he's just lonely. My four-pound, mentally disabled, mute minature Siamese is his only friend, and she slept in last night. She spends days sitting on his corner fencepost, and it seems to make him happy. She taps his head. Odd.

Trump’s speech last week was backed up by more evidence than the Steele Dossier, the Alpha Bank hoax, the entire Russian Collusion narrative, the “suckers and losers” hoax, the Fine People mega-hoax, the “bat to wet market” theory, the Classified Documents Fiasco, the Carroll Rape Fantasy, the “Hush Money”episode or the entire AGW “consensus” ever had. The dishonest Corporate Media may still attempt their “says without evidence”framing but the most-investigated guy in America has already released enough to prove his speech claims.

The question now is whether Democrats and Uniparty “republicans” will ever agree to open honest fact-finding. Y’all can’t hide behind the “no WIDESPREAD fraud” fig leaf forever.

After a few races like Milwaukee 2020 when some districts had 200% turnout the truth is obvious.

Agree completely with Mike at 4:30am. The “without evidence” crowd spent months claiming those hoaxes were real. They still want us to believe Covid came from a wet market, Fauci didn’t fund its research, and that Nobel winning Ivermectin was only for horses. Yet all that effort to tank Trump’s economy in 2020, didn’t include other efforts to assure he lost the election.

https://www.wisn.com/article/debunked-no-there-were-not-more-votes-than-registered-milwaukee-voters/34591256

“News Investigates set out Thursday to fact check the claims made and set the record straight.

The posts call into question the number of votes cast compared to the number of registered voters in Milwaukee.

A record number of Wisconsin voters cast ballots on Election Day.

In Milwaukee, nearly 84% of voters cast their ballots in person.

But the website Milwaukee City Wire claimed voters in seven Milwaukee wards overvoted.

The site claimed Wards 273 and 274, which vote at Spanish Immersion School on the Southside, had more than 200% turnout.

The city Election Commission website shows Wards 273 had 91% turnout and Ward 274 had 87% turnout.

"That report that's reporting double the voters in Wards 273 and 274 is completely false and unfounded," Woodall-Vogg said. "Voters should be aware, we were warned about this form of interference and it is a form of interference of the election."

State Election Commission Director Meagan Wolfe also warned about misinformation.

"I really wish people would check the facts and share things like our press release," she said. "I know it's not as flashy as some other things you could share on social media, but share the facts rather than speculation or rumors."”

Hanoi Paris Hilton ayon kay ...

On retiring decades ago from his successful chancellorship of U. California Berkeley, Ira Micheal Heyman was appointed "secretary" —i.e., CEO— of the Smithsonian.
At that time, a major project was being considered to install in their original DC Air and Space facility the nose section only of the then-un-restored B-29 Enola Gay, which dropped the A-bomb on Hiroshima. The Smithsonian staff openly conceived of the B-29 display as the keystone of their desired discourse on American "war crimes" in the Second World War.

At that time there were plenty of WW2 veterans alive and kicking, who had served in the victorious but horrendous European theatre of war who while still on active duty back then utterly dreaded —in light of the phenomenal casualties already suffered in the preliminary US assaults on Iwo Jima and Okinawa, the likely horrific costs of a Normandy-esque amphibious landing on the Japanese mainland. In expectations of which he US Dep't of War had by then already made ready five million (!) Purple Heart medals for the presumed invasion's American dead and wounded: two of which I eventually received for my own combat injuries in the Viet Nam war!)

Heyman, who was a good Berkeley liberal ex-professor of environmental law was apparently oblivious to the radically left and morally deranged internal politics of his Smithsonian underlings. The Enola Gay project was put on hold until the enormous new Smithsonian Udvar-Hazy air and space museum in Virginia had room for the installation of the magnificently restored Enola Gay, for which the interpretive material is politically vapid and sanitized. As are most all of the interpretive materials there.
