I know what I wrote a year ago about NoTube November, and how I was dropping YouTube. But I’ve gone back into YouTube right now to follow some of the channels I trust in order to supplement my information collection of the general election. While slumming around the various YouTube offerings I started to see “fraudulent voter registration” stories from several states around the country, in particular from “swing states” and most notably from Pennsylvania. I did not sit through the entirety of any of the videos, but I did skim enough to see that most of the videos were about a few so-called “crimes,” and that they only seemed to involve a few thousand. Not near enough to cause any kind of outcome changes against the millions who have voted and will vote on election day in November.

These reports have all sorts of smells about them. Three of the most smelly:

• The numbers are just large enough to get someones attention.
• The number is even at 2,500.
• They’re showing up right before 5 November in critical states.

My personal conspiracy theory is this: the “reports” have all the earmarks of a “false flag” operation being conducted by a far right group in support of Trump’s “the vote is rigged!” claims, which his group will then attempt to use in order to call all the votes into question.

Do I think. this will effect the election? No. The Magats will certainly try, and they may even throw enough sand in the gears to slow things up a bit, but they are all doomed to fail. And we will succeed in spite of all their efforts.
