As you probably know, Germany held some consequential elections over the last few days. They tell us that the Far-right AfD won a historic victory in German state elections. This is sort of a German version of MAGA that wants to Make Germany Great Again. As you can imagine, they are being called a “far-right” party that wants to bring Hitler’s racial purity back, or some crazy stuff like that. In reality, all that they are saying is that they want their borders respected, their culture valued, and a little respect from the EU. It doesn’t sound that crazy to me, but let’s tackle that in another post.

The AfD apparently failed to get the necessary votes to win a majority because of “mail-in ballots”. Leftists cheered on election day, but now they aren’t. Let’s get those details:

Originally, the AfD had taken 51% of in-person votes on Sunday.
As mail-in ballots were counted beginning at 6 pm local time, all other parties gained, and only the AfD lost.
Plagiarism expert Stefan Weber, who has identified numerous cheating academics, causing the Christian Democrat governor of the neighboring state of Thuringia Mario Voigt to lose his Ph.D., called these results “a sign of systematic manipulation”, citing an analysis by attorney Dirk Schmitz published by alternative journalist Alexander Wallasch:
“51.20% for the AfD at the ballot box – but only 24.27% of the mail-in vote. A drop of almost 27%. In some places, the gap was even more dramatic: In Mertendorf, the AfD took 63.2 % at the ballot box, but only 24.5% of the mail-in vote – a difference of almost 39%. In the town of Hedersleben, 62.9% of in-person votes went to the AfD, but only 26.4% of the mail-in vote,” Schmitz wrote. “In one district of Magdeburg, the AfD only got 5.5% of the mail-in vote, versus 41.5% at the ballot box (minus 36.0%). In Obhausen, the AfD received 24.8% of mail-in ballots versus 60.5% of in-person votes (minus 35.7%). In the town of Meineweh, the AfD received 27.9% of mail-in ballots versus 63.0% of in-person votes, a difference of 35.1%.”

It sounds a little spooky, doesn’t it? Maybe it’s all accurate, but some in the AfD are asking a few questions.
There’s a place for mail-in ballots, such as for soldiers or people with medical conditions. I understand that people are busy and voting takes time. I like the 2-week early option that we have in Texas that gives working people the time to vote. In the end, voting by mail will always be controversial, especially when we see these discrepancies.
The moral of the story is that we should vote in person whenever possible. The postman is not an election official.
