Due Process

The Ratcatcher has watched with dismay the controversy and anger in the days following the General Election held last week on November 3. The near unanimity of the media to declare former Vice President Joe Biden as the President Elect at a time when several states was disconcerting and seemed to validate the claims that those media outlets were partisan participants on behalf of the Democrat Party. Simultaneously, some media reported on allegations of widespread election fraud in Pennsylvania, Nevada, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Georgia. Those reports have been discounted as “conspiracy theories” by those media who have already figuratively inaugurated Mr. Biden as the 46th President.

Left out of this debate are the interests of the American people in truthful and accurate elections. Fair and accurate elections lie at the heart of the American system. The important thing is simple: we must have a process of honest elections. If the average American concludes after this election that his vote does not count; or concludes that his vote can be cancelled by the introduction of fraudulent ballots or tabulating computer programs that include votes for one candidate and exclude votes for the other, then the very foundation of America’s democratic republic will be irrevocably destroyed.

So what to do? The simple answer is too obvious [and threatening] to the liberal media – allow the challenge processes to play out in court, if need be. The controversy has apparently been caused by those who do not trust the American people to vote their own best interests. The solution is litigation if necessary. Evidence is required. How is evidence developed? It is almost always discovered during litigation; all the evidence is seldom known in advance. American law provides a remedy in the courts where evidence can be developed. The Fifth Amendment to the Constitution demands that all people be granted due process of law. Due process means a complete and thorough examination of claims and evidence. And when the litigation ends, the controversy must end. So let’s get on with it. Find the evidence; litigate if necessary; and stop declaring Vice President Biden as President Elect.
