Rainwater Voting Theory
November, 5 2022
How does a political party or entity “steal” an election?
There are many ways, some involve force, but most involve more shady behind the scene techniques. I have a theory that I call the “rainwater theory.”
The rainwater theory in its simplest explanation is water where it is expected vs water where it is not expected. What the hell do I mean exactly? Let me try to explain.
Picture the desert landscape of Arizona, South of Phoenix. It’s dry, full of sand, cactus, snakes, scorpions, and virtually devoid of any precipitation. Annual rainfall of the Sonoran desert is 3-20 inches a year. Safe to say when it rains in the Arizona desert everyone notices. Now picture the western side of the State of Washington, the Seattle area. It receives over 100 inches of rainfall per year on average. It rains every damned day, so much so that it’s as ubiquitous as sunshine in the desert. This is how you can stack the voting deck for or against a particular candidate in a Presidential election.
What does rainfall in Seattle have to do with stealing an election? Glad you asked.
Let’s take my home State of Oklahoma. It’s pretty much a non-factor electorally, but it is a good example of what I mean. We have two major cities, Tulsa and the capital Oklahoma City. They contain a much larger voter base than the rural areas, obviously. These two cities have the ability to flip Oklahoma either red or blue. Generally the rural areas can outweigh when Oklahoma City or Tulsa goes blue, but if you were to stuff the ballot boxes and both OKC and Tulsa go blue you have flipped the state. If it rains blue in once red Tulsa, it may be surprising but it would not be out of the realm of possibilities. It rains votes in cities a lot more than it does in rural areas of America.
This is how you can win without using force in a Presidential Electoral Election. Look at the makeup of Pennsylvania. Mostly rural areas with a few major cities in which it can not only absolutely pour votes, but tend to go counter to the rural areas when it comes to voting. These are the areas that need to be scrutinized more than rural areas, obviously,
The good news, and why Congressional races tend to go counter to the Presidential, is because the rainfall of votes gets spread out over cities via districts. Most cities have multiple districts within their boundaries, and usually incorporate a section of the suburbs and sometimes more rural areas, to keep the balance somewhat even.
Stay Toxic America.
