Dr. Al to Speak at Pachyderm meeting – May 22

We will be holding our next Pachyderm Meeting on Friday, May 22 at 12 noon at the Polson Rural FIre Station which is located at 25 Regatta Road in Polson.
Our guest speaker for this meeting will be Montana’s US Congressional candidate, Dr. Al Olszewski.  Dr. Al is the candidate that the Lake County Republican Central Committee is endorsing and recommending that we vote for – ballots should be in your hands now if you do absentee ballots!
We hope we have a great turn out for this meeting and show our support for Dr. Al!  Please share the meeting details with your friends and neighbors – get as many people to show up as possible.
__________

Note that our Chair, Tracy Sharp, is working on the Interim Water Committee and has news to share about a ruling by the Water Court Judge. It does not bode well for those living on the reservation. This is why we truly need Dr. Al Olszewski to be given the chance to work for us in the U.S. Congress! Listen to the video he shares:

Tuesday, May 26th, 4-5:30 pm, will be our next flag waving event at the First Interstate bank in Polson.  A record number 1000 positive responses has been hit, so it is well received.  If you do not have a flag to wave but would like to join the group, Kathy Shore has extra flags that she is happy to share.
Reminder, please do not park in the bank parking lot as it is during the bank’s business hours and we do not want to hinder their business.

Sorry if you missed meeting this great warrior despite three opportunities offered on May 5. Dr. Al Olszewski made clear that he has delved into the problems facing Lake County residents, unlike many who claim to represent us all. Any true conservative will back Dr. Al for Congress! He spent his day getting to know us and participating in Making an Appeal to Heaven to help save America for another 250 years.

On May 4, Judge Dan Wilson visited with attendees of the LCRW meeting.

It became obvious, once again, that the Montana Supreme Court is using its power for judicial activism. A recent example is a ruling allowing people to change their gender on driver’s licenses or birth certificates regardless of their biological gender. That is erasing words of the 1972 constitution and breaks a cardinal rule: it is the People that have the right to make laws or changes to the constitution, not judges.

You must follow the Law as a judge. You do not CREATE it!

Common sense must prevail in Montana.

Super troopers braved the weather for flag waving April 28. See the Facebook post HERE.

The weather was wet and chilly at times, but the reception of those passing by was heartwarming. We were even graced by a rainbow appearing in the east.

Over 1,000 signs of appreciation of the Stripes and Stars in an hour and a half! Wow. Many realize America is a country worth celebrating and fighting for!

Tyler Irwin, our sponsored race car driver, gave a heartfelt presentation inspired by Scripture, and described how much one person can do for their community. What a great man to support!

Tyler is pictured here on the left with Linda Stewart, our Treasurer, and Mike Thompson, a new shot of energy in our groups!

Be sure to come support Tyler at his races. AND check out the logo that we hope will help him bring the wins! Below is also Tyler’s schedule for the coming season.

If you’re not worried about future elections and what is being done to the MT Constitution, you must have missed Representative Tracy Sharp’s presentations on ‘Dark Money’ (last one April 10 for a crowd of Pachyderm attendees).

Great turnout for Charles Garner on March 13 and again on April 6! 31 attendees participated at the Republican Women’s meeting Monday.

Now it is up to us to disseminate the great information penned and spoken by this patriotic author! Minutes posted on the ‘Pachyderm Club’ page. Excerpt:

“The church has yielded – voices have been silenced.  The church must stand up
Charles’ third book is the cure – ‘ Called to Stand’
Every believer needs to put on the armor of God and stand up.  Lake County is on the battle line
We all must spread the word across Montana – this is our battleground
Friends must tell friends”
32 million who attend church monthly are not VOTING!?

The books are available on line, but you will have another opportunity to listen and learn, and buy your own copy at an affordable price to support the sharing of Christian values. Charles Garner will be back at the Republican Women’s meeting on April 6.

Plan on attending meetings if at all possible with your schedule. There is so much to know and learn. Your part in promoting what you learn could be as simple as telling your friends all about it!

Get involved!

Attend meetings to see how you can help. The wins we now celebrate can be attributed to people who put their hearts into the fight. There are so many ways YOU can contribute!

President Trump knows: Mail-in ballots must go away!

On Monday, August 18, 2025, Newsmax wrote:

Trump Pledges End to Mail-In Ballots, Voting Machines Ahead of 2026 Midterms | Newsmax.com

Why is it so important to do away with no-excuse mail ballots? Consider the evidence discussed on the following Mel K show September 24, 2025:

(Click HERE, or image above)

Naturally, absentee ballots with legitimate excuses, such as UOCAVA, will always need to be kept in place.

Unfortunately, President Trump is fed so many different ideas of ‘solutions’ it must be hard for him to discern what the best ways of attacking the problem of corrupt elections are. Would, for example, watermarked ballots on secure paper solve the problem? Only if there is technology in place to detect the correct water marks (While counting votes?/If forensic audits are even allowed in order to analyze the paper ballots?). Needless to say, if voter rolls still include ineligible ‘voters’, even watermarked legal ballots will be voted illegally.

In the following interview some good points were made:

🔥Trump makes HUGE Announcement!

Thanks to the Secretary of State’s Office and Braxton Mitchell, improvement was made in Montana’s election security! Using the paper and meticulous checks by election workers.

AI used to analyze claims

Algorithms are blamed for what is happening in our elections. AI has a view on the accuracy of the algorithm presented as being used in Montana elections using census data, voter rolls and cast vote records.

Anyone with common sense can see, though, that elections are manipulated. A brilliant mathematician, Ed Solomon, can show the equation for how, in Maricopa AZ in 2020, nefarious actors were able to calculate how to keep the footrace of elections going to help the outcome look plausible, as well as the number of ballots needed as a backfill. His work was based on the paper ballots as imaged for the full forensic audit and data provided by the election administrators. He has since shown proof of manipulation in other counties, such as Arapahoe in Colorado.

Mike Lindell lost the case against him in the defamation suit brought by Eric Coomer. Lindell had no way of proving that “the machines did it”, or that the claims made about Coomer were true. The “experts” he has relied on were not there to testify, since the packet captures never were real and the polynomial math claims do not hold water either. This will likely hurt any election integrity movement in their future efforts.

Success in courts always comes down to physical evidence: the paper ballots, voter registrations, chain-of-custody documents, transaction receipts, etc. Which is why (?) every measure has been taken over the years to suppress such evidence. Hopefully, President Trump will be able to have that evidence assessed by a court soon. In the meantime, the material related to the only full forensic audit that has ever been allowed to happen (Maricopa, AZ) is held in appropriate chain of custody by Jovan Hutton Pulitzer.

Blurred Boundaries

What is actually right? Is “motor voter” a good system for safe and secure elections? Renewing your driver license with Montana MVD, you are asked whether you’d like to register to vote. Check a box for whether you are a citizen or not. Honor system? A migrant was seen picking up a fistful of voter registrations at an MVD office. Can all the registrations be reliably verified for nationality before the elections? Maybe this system should be ended? How? A TRO describing the damages you suffer as a voter when people whose citizenship has not been sufficiently verified are allowed to register to vote/ballots are sent out without sufficient verification? How do we know that only verified citizens are on the voter rolls?

CISA has sounded the alarm that a cyberattack may happen on election day. Did the federal government listen to concerns expressed by We the People after the 2020 elections? The head of CISA at the time claimed that the elections were the safest ever. Is that what has been evidenced? Or was evidence of maladministration suppressed? So, what may be the reason for the alarm? Is the federal government now concerned that our voices may not be heard? It just seems interesting that this alarm pushes people into early voting, maybe signing up for mail ballots, which are the main problem pointed at by election integrity teams. Discernment is truly needed at every turn… Either way, we are lucky to be relying on paper ballots at Lake County polling locations! A cyberattack can’t change what is on paper.

Do what you can to help make elections TOO BIG TO RIG. When some are flooding the voting “market” with votes in numbers that are hard to verify, you can, for example, offer a ride to people that may have troubles making it to the elections office or their polling station. We MUST counter any attempts to disenfranchise legitimate voters. Our local thinker points to new questionable processes: “Newest […] ploy to overcome legal voting: harvest the Americans’ overseas ballots. Trying to ‘count’ 9 million mail-ins, while the state department only knows of 2.8 million Expats…  Given 0 IDs, 0 signatures, all ‘mailed in’ by Email. It resurrects much of the 2020 tactics to flood the zone.”  – Voicing concerns, rightfully so, without needing to be called a conspiracy theorist, considering evidence that has been brought to light over the years. In addition, the 1st Amendment is still in place, which gives citizens the right to voice concerns!

The Threat of Ranked Choice Voting Averted – for NOW

On her Facebook account (FOLLOW her!), Jennifer Fielder, our candidate re-elected to the Public Service Commission shared a very good analogy of how Ranked Choice Voting might work in your case:

Montana CI-126/127. Here’s a simple illustration to explain why I will be voting NO.

A group of 100 people vote on dessert. The choices are:

  • Brownies
  • Apple Pie
  • Brussel sprouts
  • Peas

The votes come in:

49 people vote for Brownies, 24 in favor of Apple Pie,

17 in favor of Brussel Sprouts, and

10 for Peas.

Peas are out, but all 10 of those voters chose Brussel Sprouts as their 2nd choice, so the next tally is 49 for Brownies, 27 for Brussel Sprouts, and 24 for Apple Pie. Now Apple Pie is out, but as luck would have it all of the Apple Pie voters had Peas as their 2nd choice, but since Peas was already eliminated it went to their 3rd place vote which was, you guessed it, Brussel Sprouts.

Our final tally:

Brussel Sprouts 51

Brownies 49.

The 49 Brownies lovers hate Brussel Sprouts and chose them as their 4th place pick, but they like Apple Pie and chose it as their 2nd place pick. The 17 people who chose Brussel sprouts as their 1st place vote all had Brownies as their 2nd choice, but since Brussel Sprouts was never eliminated those 2nd place votes were never tallied.

So Brownies, with 49 1st place votes, 17 2nd place votes and only 24 4th place votes, loses to Brussel Sprouts that won 17 1st place votes, 10 2nd place votes, 24 3rd place votes and 49 4th place votes. But Apple Pie also had 73 1st and 2nd choice votes. The only people really happy in this scenario are the 17 people that really really like Brussel Sprouts, and maybe 10 more that think they’re “ok”.

Does a system that allows for this possibility sound like a good system? Brownies won 66 1st and 2nd place votes while Brussel sprouts only got 27 1st and 2nd place votes. And poor Apple Pie received 73 1st and 2nd place votes and eliminated in the 2nd round!

RCV fails to consider 2nd choice preferences for the last eliminated and the winner, giving more weight to fewer 2nd or 3rd choices.

This is why people say that ranked choice voting is unfair

It counts SOME people’s 2nd, 3rd, or 4th place votes while not counting others. Furthermore, in the final tally, one person’s begrudging 3rd or 4th place vote CARRIES JUST AS MUCH WEIGHT as another person’s 1st place preference.

Brussel sprouts for dessert?? Umm… No thank you! Let the best candidate win!

THANKFULLY, MONTANA VOTED NO on Cl-126/127!

In other words:

Montanans do not want open primaries where those who are not even registered Republicans may vote for the most left leaning Republican candidate to possibly stop the most conservative from winning. We want the candidate who receives the greatest number of votes to be the winner!

Are Alternate Electors False?

Google is clearly pushing to paint a certain picture. Interestingly, a very liberal pundit once described the electoral system in the following way:

Help Ensure Smooth Elections

Remember to bring your ID with you to the polling place.

If you were sent an absentee ballot, return the voted ballot as instructed, or bring it to the polling place, if you prefer to vote there.

Do not make any stray marks on your ballot,

– anything beyond neatly filled ovals means someone else must redo your ballot to prepare it for the tabulator.

If for any reason you need to vote using a provisional ballot at the polling place, print your name very clearly in the assigned box on the envelope to verify the signature.
