On March 3rd, The National Review ran a piece by John Fund asking delegates to commit a crime in order to subvert the democratic process.
From it:
If Donald Trump won’t release his tax returns prior to the GOP convention, the delegates pledged to him on the first ballot should abstain from giving him their votes. Other than their vote not counting, there are no realistic consequences for any delegate doing so on the first ballot. A few states make breaking the first-ballot pledge rule a misdemeanor, but no one is ever prosecuted. In theory, state leaders could exact political retribution but such discipline is rarely exercised.
This is utterly insane.
They are saying: commit a crime to stop the candidate the people voted for from being elected.
Maybe it is only a misdemeanor for a single individual delegate to vote the wrong way, but Fund is trying to organize a massive voter fraud conspiracy, which would presumably qualify as a much more serious crime.
And here’s the funny thing – look at the bio of John Fund:
In 2004, he wrote Stealing Elections: How Voter Fraud Threatens Our Democracy. He has written two books with Hans von Spakovsky: Who’s Counting?: How Fraudsters and Bureaucrats Put Your Vote at Risk and Obama’s Enforcer: Eric Holder’s Justice Department.
It’s shocking more people aren’t calling National Review out for this.
