To the editor:
There goes Robert Sica with another letter full of LIES, Trump talking points and projection, stating what Democrats are doing when in reality it is the Republicans using every trick in the book for voter suppression.
In his extremely unimpressive letter titled "TO ID OR NOT TO ID," he claims people who shoveled snow in the aftermath of a storm had to show ID and give other info. What Sica so conveniently left out was in order to be paid, workers had to show proof so they can pay taxes.
Mr. Sica also failed to mention that in order to vote and be on the roles you had to initially prove who you are. How convenient to leave that crucial part out.
President Trump stated months before the 2016 election, "If I do not win the election, it will be stolen." And there you have it, the very beginning of the spewing of lies about our election, months before November's election.
Trump wins in 2016 and not a word about elections being stolen. Fast forward to 2020. Yet again Trump spews about rigging the election. This time he loses the presidential election, and the stealing of the election has not stopped even today.
But here is where Mr. Sica's two points of his argument fall completely apart. Trump and his cohorts filed 60 lawsuits claiming the election was stolen, and they lost every single one. Because you cannot come into court claiming this nonsense you have to prove it, and they couldn't, they were thrown out of court each time.
Trump put together a group to investigate voter fraud. They disbanded after not finding anything. And finally, in the last 10 years of voting there were 100 voter fraud votes, and a majority were found to be committed by Republicans.
These voting talking points are voter suppression. PERIOD.

Despite numerous instances of voter fraud, especially in swing states, the Supreme Court refused to overturn the 2020 presidential election, fearing it would harm the American voting system. Consequently, the Court made an ill-advised decision to ignore the voter fraud.
It is only reasonable to require ID at the polls, as it is necessary for
driving motor vehicles, and yes, shoveling snow.
Try delving in facts instead of partisanship.
The United States has a long history of voter fraud, so it’s crucial to address and eliminate any instances of impropriety.
Implementing voter identification requirements at polling stations is a necessary step in this direction.

This one's for the Gipper, Mr. Wolf.
We have a newcomer to add to The Chief letter writers club, Mark Wolf, an obvious Democrat, whose insipid letter is based on the alleged dissemination of misinformation regarding voter identification and voter fraud. Mark Wolf’s jejune letter contends that Donald Trump’s assertions of a stolen election are unsubstantiated, citing the absence of evidence and the numerous unsuccessful lawsuits challenging the 2020 election results.
Well, Mark Wolf, or whatever your name truly is, there were numerous instances of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
Case in point, Mr. Wolf, after the cutoff day and time (at which time Trump was winning by 100,000 votes), a truckload of ballots arrived and entered the counting process (Michigan set the cutoff time at 8:00 p.m. election day, and the truck pulled up at 10:30 p.m. and again at 4:00 a.m.).
Therefore, Mr. Wolf, Trump lost Michigan.
To conceal their cheating, Mr. Wolf, the Democrats covered the windows with cardboard and removed the observers to prevent anyone from watching their nefarious deeds.
Security video tapes were later made public, Mr. Wolf, but they were quickly buried under the deception and misdeeds of the Democrat-led perpetrators and their accomplices.
Naturally, Mr. Wolf, your fellow-Democrats denounced these claims and called them “paranoid delusions of partisan fanatics.” But the truth is objective and cannot be made a “lie" by duplicitous Democrats bellowing unintelligible falsehoods.
( Trump lost Michigan , Mr. Wolf, because the Democrats, the media , and partisan judges ignored numerous-affidavits exposing the voter fraud.)
The US Supreme Court, Mr. Wolf, clearly did not overturn the elections. Overturning them would have proven voter fraud in the US election, which would have shaken the very foundation of American democracy. Therefore, the Democrats won the 2020 election through their misdeeds and chicanery.
The message conveyed by the Supreme Court to the American people was this: Voter fraud trumped Mr. Trump.
However, Mr. Wolf, this is an ongoing saga. The American people acted autonomously. They voted for Mr. Donald J. Trump as President of the United States in 2024. This proved that Mr. Trump’s unwavering determination to “survive another day” as the adage goes marked the greatest political comeback in US political history.
“ The Trump saga is still ongoing, Mr. Wolf ! "

News flash excessively-Wordy Man, Mr. Wolf is no "newcomer". He has been writing letters to the Chief for many years. At least as long as yourself, Mr. Sica(phant).
You forgot to mention "Italian satellites" and "rigged Dominion voting machines" in your delusional rants regarding the 2020 election LOSS of Donald Trump.
The courts refused to overturn the 2020 election because there's absolutely no evidence supporting the claims of "a steal". That BS exists solely in the minds of the MAGA(sses).

Word Man, that is not proof, just here say. None of what you say is true. I guess that is why Trump and Company lost over 60 lawsuits regarding that election. Why? Because they could spout lies outside of the court, but inside of the courtroom they could not lie. They had NO proof!!!!

He’s a wimpy little man and a proven liar, who lives in a house without a lofty spire.
He lacks the English-language skills to aspire, to be the one elite political letter-writer.
He has no high literary ideals, only hate and unavailing ire.
He is a bumbling, hateful, deceitful little man, who has been corrupted by WOKE ideology and hellfire.
He is the crying little-bloke who in the ambit of eternal mire is doomed to conspire.
He is the sheep in Wolf’s attire.
He is Joseph Cannisi—a crier and a liar!

The below link is to a Time magazine article in 2020 which quoted Trump's own lawyers' from court transcripts in the 61 cases Trump lost. When pressed by a judge, under penalty of perjury, even Giuliani had to admit "this is not a fraud case".

I understand why Trump's fragile ego prevents him from accepting that he lost fair and square. Why MAG-A(holes) like Word Man, a.k.a Robert (Bobby the Bookie) Sica, do so is a mystery. A study of this psychopathy that could offer insight into the cult mindset. A more appropriate online avatar for Robert Sica would be Warped Man.

A Time Magazine article reen’ro—give me a break!
Your source of information is from a far-left news outlet. What do you expect it to report? Like other far-left media, Time magazine ignored voter fraud in Michigan and other swing states. You need to do better, reen’ro!
