How a national warning exposes the deep structural failures already undermining elections in the Commonwealth
America’s constitutional crisis is no longer theoretical. It’s already unfolding here in Virginia.
A recent long-form interview featuring investigative journalist Lara Logan, former CIA officer Gary Bernsten, and author Ralph Pezzullo has ignited a national debate about election systems, foreign influence, and the erosion of institutional accountability. The claims and testimony they present are theirs alone—but the vulnerabilities they describe on a global scale map almost exactly onto the problems Virginians have been documenting for years.
Whether every detail of their warning proves accurate is beside the point. The patterns are undeniable, and the consequences—if left unaddressed—are catastrophic.
Because the truth is simple: the conditions that weaken elections in unstable nations are the very conditions we now see in Virginia.
Our election system is not merely “at risk.”
It is already broken—structurally, constitutionally, and operationally.
And what the Logan interview reveals only underscores how urgent the crisis has become.
Gary Berntsen & Ralph Pezzullo explain how America’s enemies, foreign & domestic, are stealing the Republic. We dissect the controversial involvement of Smartmatic in the U.S. election system and explore the swirling allegations of manipulation and fraud. Our discussion probes deep into electoral malfeasance, questioning the integrity of the very systems that uphold our Republic. Expect a thorough examination of the evidence and sentiments surrounding these topics, drawing connections that extend all the way to Venezuela. Lara Logan
What the Logan Interview Claims—And Why It Matters
In the interview, Logan and her guests describe a disturbing international trend: opaque election systems, foreign-driven influence operations, compromised institutions, and software-based vulnerabilities hidden behind layers of secrecy.
According to the interview participants, these weaknesses can be exploited by:
- foreign intelligence services,
- internal bad actors,
- corrupt political networks,
- or simply poor oversight and lack of transparency.
Their claims are theirs—but the warning is universal:
when elections become opaque, they become unsafe.
And nowhere is that warning more relevant than in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Virginia’s Election System: The Three Failures We Can’t Ignore
For several years, citizens across Virginia have gathered, analyzed, and submitted evidence showing that our state’s election administration is failing at the most basic, foundational levels. These failures match exactly the types of vulnerabilities the Logan interview highlights—and they come with direct legal and constitutional consequences.
Here are the three most damaging breakdowns.
1. Catastrophic Voter Roll Failures
Virginia’s voter rolls are a documented disaster:
- Hundreds of thousands of invalid or questionable records
- Voters registered at UPS stores, PO boxes, and commercial mail centers
- People who moved out of state still listed as active
- Addresses that do not exist
- Empty or missing residence fields
- Duplicate registrations
- Tens of thousands of entries failing USPS address standards
These errors are not hypothetical—and they are not partisan.
They come directly from:
- official ELECT data,
- citizen-submitted affidavits,
- FOIA responses, and
- public records.
Under federal law, such rolls cannot produce a legally certifiable election.
Yet election officials certify anyway.
Logan’s interview warns that compromised or inaccurate databases create the easiest pathway for election tampering.
Virginia’s database is exactly that: compromised by neglect, bloated by error, and shielded from correction.
2. Machine-Based Voting Without Transparency or Auditability
Virginia’s voting machines are not fully inspectable by the public, the press, citizens, political parties, or even election boards.
Access is denied to:
- source code,
- internal machine logs,
- tabulation software,
- firmware versions,
- network reporting tools,
- and hardware-level inspection.
Vendors claim “proprietary code.”
Election officials accept this without resistance.
And the public is kept in the dark.
Logan’s interview repeatedly emphasizes the danger of systems that cannot be audited or observed.
Virginia’s machines embody this danger completely.
A truly transparent system has nothing to hide.
But Virginia’s system hides everything important.
3. No-Excuse Absentee Voting—In Direct Violation of the Virginia Constitution
The Constitution of Virginia is clear:
- Voting is to occur in your precinct
- On Election Day
- In public view
- And ballots may not be opened or handled in secret
But the General Assembly—ignoring the Constitution—legalized:
- 45 days of early voting
- No-excuse absentee voting
- Permanent absentee lists
- Satellite offices
- Ballot container procedures that operate outside public visibility
This means:
- ballots are handled and stored before Election Day,
- containers are opened, accessed, and resealed,
- votes are tabulated across multiple locations,
- and tapes are not printed until after polls close.
These actions violate the plain text of the Constitution.
Logan’s interview highlights how long-duration voting windows, off-site processing, and early ballot access increase systemic vulnerability.
Virginia matches that pattern exactly—and the constitutional violation is undeniable.
The National Warning Fits Virginia’s Local Reality
You don’t need foreign interference to compromise Virginia’s elections.
The vulnerabilities already exist:
- dirty rolls,
- non-transparent machines,
- and unconstitutional absentee processes.
The Logan interview warns about these weaknesses at the national level.
Virginia proves them at the local level.
The convergence of these two realities is what creates the genuine constitutional crisis—not speculation, not conspiracy, but structural failure.
And structural failure always produces the same result:
the loss of public trust.
The Solution Is Not Complicated. It Is Constitutional.
We do not need new technology, new systems, or new theories.
What we need is what every free nation on earth trusts—and what our own Constitution presumes:
1. Hand-Marked Paper Ballots
Not printed on demand.
Not machine-marked.
Not QR-coded.
Paper ballots that any citizen can see, hold, verify, and recount.
2. Counting in Full Public View
At the precinct.
On Election Night.
With cameras, poll watchers, and citizens present.
No back rooms. No secrecy. No hidden tabulations.
3. Eliminate Drop Boxes Completely
Drop boxes break chain of custody.
They invite abuse.
They remove oversight.
They serve no necessary purpose and introduce every conceivable risk.
4. Restore Absentee Voting to “Excuse Only”
This is not optional.
It is not partisan.
It is not extreme.
It is constitutional.
The Commonwealth must obey its own governing document.
A Christian Response: Truth, Courage, and Accountability
The Bible commands Christians to:
“Test everything; hold fast to what is good.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:21
“Have nothing to do with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.” — Ephesians 5:11
“Righteousness exalts a nation.” — Proverbs 14:34
This is a moment for clarity—not fear.
For conviction—not silence.
For obedience—not appeasement.
The truth is not partisan.
Integrity is not partisan.
The Constitution is not partisan.
And neither is the crisis before us.
If Virginia Wants Trustworthy Elections, It Must Rebuild Them—Now
The Logan interview raises national warnings.
Virginia’s election failures confirm local danger.
Together, they reveal the same conclusion:
The system we have is broken.
The Constitution tells us how to fix it.
And the people must demand nothing less.
This is the moment.
This is the line.
This is the duty.
For the sake of truth, for the sake of the Commonwealth, and for the sake of the nation, Virginia must restore transparency, accountability, and constitutional integrity to its elections.
Paper ballots.
Public counting.
No drop boxes.
Constitutional absentee voting.
Nothing less will do.
