Mass Mail-In Voting Is Democrats' New 'Blue Wall'

The most striking feature of the contentious 2020 election was the sudden explosion of mass mail-in voting in states that had little experience with it, and the unprecedented levels of election interference that occurred as left-leaning nonprofit organizations such as The Center for Tech and Civic Life (which was behind “Zuckbucks”) and Democrat “lawfare” experts tried to make the best of this chaotic, mail-in ballot free-for-all.

The mail-in ballot election of 2020 created the template for the Democrats’ new “Blue Wall” election strategy, as a deluge of mail-in ballots propelled Joe Biden to victory, especially in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The rate of mail-in voting rose to above 50 percent in Michigan and Wisconsin, and almost 40 percent in Pennsylvania.

The old “Blue Wall” was an impregnable fortress of safely Democrat states because of large blocs of blue-collar voters — mainly in the Rust Belt of the upper Midwest — that could be relied upon to get Democrats an electoral college victory in a close election. The old “Blue Wall,” however, dramatically failed to protect Hillary Clinton’s candidacy, as an unexpectedly large number of formerly Democrat, working-class voters in Rust Belt states became Donald Trump voters.

Democrats have countered the defection of working-class voters by going all in on no-excuse mail-in voting, first as a temporary, emergency measure during the Covid-19 pandemic, and now as a natural and inevitable evolution of the election landscape, according to partisan media propaganda. States that adopted extremely liberal mail-in voting regimes during Covid are being counted on to function as a new “Blue Wall,” where it is hoped that mountains of mail-in ballots will provide Democrats with an insurmountable electoral advantage.
