Florida election lawsuit exposes loophole in federal voter registration law
A Florida election lawsuit has exposed a loophole in federal voter registration law that allows people to register to vote without providing a driver’s license or Social Security number for verification.
A Republican congressional candidate is suing Florida election officials over “clone” voters found on voter rolls and questionable mail-in ballot requests, as the number of votes he lost by is less than the allegedly compromised vote-by-mail ballots. However, the lawsuit also reveals a loophole in both Florida law and federal law that allows people to register to vote without providing either a driver’s license number or Social Security number.
Robert “Rocky” Rochford, a Republican and retired U.S. Navy captain, ran against Rep. Kathy Castor (D) in Florida’s 14th U.S. Congressional District in the November election. Rochford lost the election to Castor, the incumbent, by nearly 58,000 votes.

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet – Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I would have quoted the Foghat song from 1975 but the lyrics are so non-sensical that I went with Rousseau. With that said, it’s good advice for those who are looking to prosper from a market downturn. The fundamentals may be moving in a negative direction and interest rates may still be high but trying to short this market is akin to storming a heavily fortified position. You can succeed but it’s going to be expensive.
The Treasury and the Fed learned their lessons from 2008 which is why they snuff out any selling pressure before it gains momentum. I developed a theory about ten years ago to explain what’s happening and it revolves around the old football adage “the best defense is a good offense.”
As long as the Fed can inject liquidity into the banking system, the Fed’s agents can run up asset prices. The best way to run up asset prices is to catch speculators short the price of those assets. This has been the story since 2009. The more equity prices rise, the more fixed income is deemed safe based on the relationship of equity being riskier than debt. The wealth-effect provides a stabilizer to economic growth as it gives the consumers fortunate enough to have financial assets a green light to spend on luxury goods.
Owning Nvidia’s stock doesn’t induce shareholders to consume more eggs or other sundries. This is why I blame the Fed for today’s artificially exaggerated equity values and why I largely give them a pass for consumer inflation. Congress and Treasury are to blame for consumer prices while the Fed merely drives the getaway car.

The more panic grows, the more uplifting the image of a man who refuses to bow to the terror – Ernst Junger
The US economy is an absolute mess. The excesses that led to the 2008 “Great Financial Crisis” or GFC were never addressed. Instead, the authorities quadrupled down on the policies that made the system unstable in the first place. The difference is that the worst credit has moved from bank balance sheets to wealth management funds.
Ours is a system built on bad debt, held together by a combination of market manipulation and government credit expansion. It’s the same with all developed economies. Think of the growth in US government debt as economic life support. The Trump Administration has been tasked with restoring the patient’s health. He’s going to have to cut life support first to purge socialism from the system. Socialism represents a frictional cost that inhibits the private sector; the private sector will have enough problems getting going without it.
