Elon Musk Explains How Dems Rig Elections

A typical Marxist tactic, Democrats focus on the most extreme iterations of election rigging to cast all of their opponents as crazed conspiracy theorists. No, the Venezuelans didn’t hack any voting machines. But they didn’t have to. The 2020 election was rigged long before election day.

No lesser authority than X owner Elon Musk is now pointing this out. “When combined with mail-in ballots, the system is *designed* to make it impossible to prove fraud,” Musk wrote in a tweet that has been viewed over 25 million times in the 12 hours since it was posted.

As such, “mail-in and drop box ballots should not be allowed,” he concluded.

His solution is a basic dose of sanity. But it’s his diagnosis that’s even more insightful.

Mail-in voting and widespread drop boxes are likely not resulting in millions of fraudulent ballots — the most extreme accusations of voter fraud. They do, however, tweak results around the margins by tilting the rules of the game toward Democrats. When combined with the massive network of community organizers, they take all the effort out of voting, turning even the most disinterested citizen into a reliable blue vote. When Democratic activists do cross the line from immoral to illegal, the anonymity of drop-offs and mail-ins make a crime exceedingly hard to prove.

The plausible deniability, as Musk notes, is the point.

To those paying attention, this has long been obvious. The Daily Caller broke it all down last year in our documentary on the 2020 election, “RIGGED.”

However, it’s more surprising to hear from a centrist voice like Musk. Before he put a media and government target on his back by bucking left-wing orthodoxy, Musk was widely respected as one of the brightest and most successful people in the world. That reputation still carries over with millions of normal people, despite the left’s best attempts to tear him down.

So it’s a big deal that he shared the truth of election rigging with his 189 million followers. Normal people might not believe it when they hear it from so-called “right-wing sources.” But the more they hear it coming from the center, the better it is for America.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
