The voting process in North America has undergone a test.  We discovered voting rights are individual to each state.  Moreover our electoral college was open to corrupt manipulation.  The Trump machine went to states and tried to convince them their election results for some reason were inaccurate.  In many states there is a provision that allows the statehouse the option of rejecting electors choices and simply replacing them with their own.  This is how Donald Trump won the election against Hillary Clinton.  It happened, and the nation did not catch it.  We just gasped at how a candidate could win receiving two million less popular votes.  Certainly it was not fair or representative, and it was not because this win was achieved by the method stated above.  Trump was one step ahead of us, and his "Big Lie" merely was what his campaign did in 2018.  They manipulated states' electoral colleges by bribery.  Superimpose President Trump or Senator Lindsey Graham calling the Secretary of State of a contested state and asking them to "find enough votes for him to win."  No matter how hard you spin this truth, it cannot be discounted.  The Trump machine slickly applied shrewd business practices to our Constitutional  processes eliminating moral and ethical ethos from America.  America became free range, and still we are stampeding like a herd of bison not knowing where we are headed.  Luckily Democratic wins in our recent midterm election has staved off some of the remnants of "The Big Lie."  Americans are ready to get back to their own lives.  The "Razzle Dazzle" has fizzled out, and America needs back her democracy and her local economy.  Inflation has set in, and when food prices become unreasonably high people become desperate.  This increases crime.  Our inequality of wealth is bursting at the seams, and eventually all of that money will have to escape finding its ways back into the hands of normal Americans.  The money has slowed to a drizzle, and it needs to flow.  Not hustle and flow but flow in a normal process of work and wage.  Our cost of living continues to increase, and our wages remain stagnant.  They have been for a long time.  Only a ludicrous longing for the free labor of slavery could condone our almost inhumane wages.  Certainly they are not livable.  If you did listen to Elizabeth Warren, she would tell you she supported a family on one paycheck back in the good old days.  Clearly I remember the "Soccer Mom," the metaphor for two working parents hauling their children in a minivan.  What was that date, when in America both parents had to work to earn enough money to live comfortably?  We are worse off today living pay check to pay check with very little security.  This is what America seeks, and this is why a "Red Wave" was diverted in the wake of a corrupt president.  The people are speaking again, and they spoke in this midterm election.  Now only if we can get Washington to listen.  It is disheartening the choices North Carolina has made.  The Honorable Senator from North Carolina...  a gun shop owner, a supporter of the Big Lie, and a right leaning zealot for Trump.  This is who the constituents of North Carolina chose to send to Washington, DC to represent us.  Thom Tillis and Ted Budd.  The reason was North Carolinians are so red, they just cannot elect a black woman to congress.  There was little publicity about this choice unlike the elections in Georgia which democrats flipped with the electing of Raphael Warnock.  It was not a matter of credentials, ability, or experience in legislative procedures.  We elected Ted Budd, because he is a white man.  We are ignorant enough to believe because he is a white man somehow he will do the right thing in Washington.  He won't.  Mitch doesn't, and neither do any of the GOP officials we have elected.  They do for themselves, not for the people.  We could have had an attorney and a judge with a lifetime of judicial experience speak for the people of North Carolina.  Instead we chose a gun store owner with a history of wrong-doing.  The only thing more improper is electing a mediocre past White House press secretary to the governorship of Arkansas.  The only reason she won is the same reason Ted Budd won.  They are not electing a professional to do a job, they are electing allegiance to Red.  At least now clearly we can see our mistakes and the level of intelligence in the country.
