There Is One Authority That Can Save The Election from Voter Fraud

As we get down to brass tacks where the issue of the election and voter fraud is concerned, many people are asking what can be done to reduce the chances of voter fraud taking place and, especially, what we can do to make sure that none of the 10 million to 20 million illegals immigrants now in our country vote illegally in our election.

It is always smart to explore who should be notified when you witness voting irregularities at the polling place. You can determine the proper chain of communications by contacting your county election commission, county district attorney’s office, and/or state election authority. Put these contact cards on your cell phone for immediate and easy access.

But there is one authority that can be lobbied to action with the authority to act in real-time. That authority is your county sheriff.

A Sheriff’s Jurisdiction, Purpose & Function

Sheriffs in the United States hold a unique position within the framework of law enforcement due to several factors.

Typically, a sheriff's primary jurisdiction is county-wide. This includes unincorporated areas of the county and any municipalities that contract with the sheriff's office for law enforcement services. Unlike city police, whose jurisdiction ends at city limits, sheriffs have authority across the county. This can sometimes lead to overlapping responsibilities with other authorities, with sheriffs often taking a superseding role.

Sheriffs are responsible for a broader range of duties than typical city police officers. These duties include operating county jails, providing security for courthouses and county buildings, serving warrants and court documents, law enforcement in areas not covered by municipal police, and sometimes acting as coroners or conducting autopsies, particularly in less populated counties.

Recently, sheriffs' authorities have expanded and become particularly notable for several reasons.

Sheriffs are predominantly elected officials, which gives them a direct mandate from the public. This election process can lead to a greater degree of independence from local government oversight compared to appointed police chiefs, allowing for more discretion in how they enforce laws.

The role of the sheriff dates back to medieval England and has a legacy of broad authority. In the United States, this role has adapted but retained significant power, especially in rural areas where the sheriff might very well be the most prominent or only law enforcement presence.

Court rulings have occasionally affirmed or expanded the powers of sheriffs, like in cases where sheriffs have challenged federal laws or when their role in local law enforcement has been upheld against encroachment by other agencies.

This brings me to my overarching point where the authority of our county sheriffs is concerned: Immigration Enforcement.

Sheriffs, Illegal Immigrants & Elections

Some sheriffs have taken on roles in immigration enforcement, especially in border states or counties with significant immigrant populations. Their involvement can range from cooperating with federal immigration authorities to actively detaining undocumented immigrants, which has expanded their role significantly in recent years.

The authority of a sheriff over an election polling place in the United States can be understood through several lenses:

Security & Order: A sheriff or their deputies are often responsible for maintaining peace and order at polling places. This includes preventing disturbances, ensuring that no one is intimidated or obstructed from voting, and dealing with any criminal activity, such as voter intimidation or disruption. They might be present or have deputies stationed at polling places, especially in contentious elections or areas with a history of electoral disputes, to ensure that the voting process is conducted smoothly.

Enforcement of Election Laws: While the primary enforcement of voting rights might fall to election officials or federal authorities in cases of significant violations, sheriffs can ensure that local and state election laws are followed. This includes addressing issues like illegal campaigning too close to the polling place or ensuring that only authorized individuals are in areas where voting occurs. Sheriffs can enforce laws against electioneering at or near polling places, which involves campaigning or trying to influence voters within a certain distance from where voting occurs.

Response to Violations: If any criminal activity occurs, like assault, voter fraud, or significant disruption, sheriffs have the authority to make arrests or detain individuals until further legal action can be taken.

Coordination with Election Officials: Sheriffs often coordinate with election officials. While election officials manage the voting process, sheriffs support it by ensuring the environment around voting is safe and lawful. They might respond to calls from election judges or clerks regarding any issues that require law enforcement.

It is important to note here that sheriffs don’t have authority over the election process itself. They cannot administratively decide who can vote, count votes, or interfere with the voting or tabulation process. Their role is protective but law-enforcement-related.

Sheriffs must also be aware of federal laws regarding elections, including the Voting Rights Act, which prohibits racial discrimination in voting. Their actions at polling places must not infringe on anyone's civil rights. But this authority also includes preserving the sanctity of the ballot box, which includes guarding against the illegal dilution of the citizenry’s votes.

It Can Be As Simple As…

In all honesty, a sheriff’s ability to thwart illegal immigrants from committing voter fraud can be as simple as maintaining a presence outside polling places and very publicly issuing preemptive statements that election law—including the prevention of illegal ballots being cast—will be enforced regardless of what either political party has advocated.

In the end, We the People, don’t necessarily need to wait for our corrupt federally elected officials to overcome their Deep States masters and pass meaningful election reform laws that actually defend citizens' right to vote and the sanctity of the ballot box.

All we need are sheriffs with balls…
