Letter to the editor: Biden win is a threat to our liberties

The hard-fought liberties we enjoy were based on the Declaration of Independence and our Constitution that were hammered out in Philadelphia over 200 years ago. Now it appears to me that two centuries later, many of those God-given freedoms may have been stolen in Philadelphia, and many more may be trashed by a mob that hates America if Joe Biden is declared the winner.

Also, lost in all the recount madness in Pennsylvania is the fact that the Libertarian candidate received more than 79,000 votes, close to Biden’s lead over President Trump. In most cases, a Libertarian will vote for less government control and hence lean toward the Republican side of the ledger. If that theory holds true, that means the third-party candidate cost Trump the election, and similar outcomes occurred in other battleground states like Arizona, Georgia and Wisconsin. Without the third party, I believe Trump would have won the election outright.

A final note on Philadelphia — in some precincts, Biden received nearly 100% of the vote, which would have made even Stalin and Castro envious!
