how important are our county election officials?
Dear Friends,
I just sent a letter to all 93 county election officials. They were all blind-copied on a fictitious reply to “John.” John is not real, but the letter was very real. I essentially gave our clerks and commissioners the opportunity to read over my shoulder what I wrote to “John.” The idea came to me the other day.
Here’s the letter:
to: john.adams@gmail.com (fake address)
bcc: [the addresses of all county election officials]
subject: Re: How important are our county election officials?
Dear John,
Great question. I'll do my best to answer, concisely.
The county election official is perhaps the most important person in ALL of government, at all levels.
The county election official manages the right (voting) by which all our other rights are secured (barring the last resort mentioned in our Declaration).
If that right is mismanaged, the wrong people can gain power without our consent and adversely affect our lives, liberty, property and happiness.
The whole reason we institute government is to SECURE our rights, not to have them denied or infringed.
Mismanagement of voting occurs when county election officials misconstrue their allegiance. Their allegiance is to our State Constitution, which they took an oath to uphold, and to the People of the county to whom elections belong. Their allegiance is NOT to the Secretary of State's office. County elections do NOT belong to the Secretary of State, who only wants to contract your/our county elections out to a private third party to be counted away from the Watchful Eyes of Citizens. (The Salvation of the State is Watchfulness in the Citizen. -engraved upon our Capitol. Watchfulness, not trust.)
The elective franchise, in its entirety—not just the casting of votes, but the counting of those votes as well—belongs to the People of the County.
The private machines with their secret software represent a "hindrance," an "impediment" and an existential threat to our God-given and constitutionally-protected right to self-government through consent of the governed.
All kinds of mischief has been and is being committed by private electronic voting machine companies across the country (there are basically only three companies).
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that centralized power—and centralized government power at that—does NOT belong in the hands of a private corporation with no accountability to the People. That's why we have counties, and county-based elections. To DEcentralize power, and give local People a local voice...and local control...in local decisions.
Right now, we do not have county-based elections. We have elections based in a single private company for the entire state. That company refuses to be transparent. It's not who votes, but who counts the votes. (Any half-brain-dead person can see the temptation to corruption here. Any half-brain-dead person can also separate a few precincts out from the rest and make our elections look good.)
If we are going to have centralized elections, we may as well do away with county governing bodies and let the state-level governing bodies make all the decisions for the entire state. I doubt many people would find that acceptable.
In closing...
The State has no more business telling county election offices how to manage their elections than they do telling county boards how to manage their roads. (See Article III-18 below.)
The SoS office will not be able to protect county election officials when law and order returns (and it will return), if county election officials haven't been faithful to their oath. County election officials need to be educated, and encouraged to adhere to the Supreme law of Nebraska, our Constitution.
Here are my constitutional references:
"All persons are by nature free and independent, and have certain inherent and inalienable rights; among these are life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and the right to keep and bear arms for security or defense of self, family, home, and others ... and such rights shall not be denied or infringed by the state or any subdivision thereof. To secure these rights, and the protection of property, governments are instituted among people, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed." Article I-1, NE State Constitution
"All elections shall be free; and there shall be no hindrance or impediment to the right of a qualified voter to exercise the [full] elective franchise." Article I-22
The Legislature shall not pass local or special laws in any of the following cases, that is to say:
Laying out, opening altering and working roads or highways.
Vacating roads, Town plats, streets, alleys, and public grounds.
Locating or changing County seats.
Regulating County and Township offices.
Providing for changes of venue in civil and criminal cases.
Incorporating Cities, Towns and Villages, or changing or amending the charter of any Town, City, or Village.
Providing for the election of Officers in Townships, incorporated Towns or Cities.
Summoning or empaneling Grand or Petit Juries.
Providing for the bonding of cities, towns, precincts, school districts or other municipalities.
Providing for the management of Public Schools.
The opening and conducting of any election, or designating the place of voting.
Article III-18
Thanks for the question, John. I trust all is well (outside of your elections). Give the family my love.
Bob
That’s it.
God bless,

P.S. Regarding yesterday’s issue. Disregard the second video. It turned out to be a mixed bag.
Once again Bob, you present to the masses of elected officials throughout our counties how and what they are about. Education is the optimum word in your article. So many are sheeple that merely follow what they are told and deny the oath they took - some very blindly and aware of constitutional articles. Keeping my fingers crossed that "John's" letter will have an impact on many hearts and minds. Thank you for all your unending fights for our freedoms.
Education!!! Keep hammering away and THANK YOU for your passion of truth!! Behind you 💯%.
