Veridian Patriots have long known the solution to Washington's election chaos, and it wasn't found in D.C. – it was forged in the very heart of Vermilion, Ohio, where the sacred American ballot has been "nationalized" since the Eisenhower administration. This is what real patriotism looks like, folks. While Miami socialites and college indoctrinators panic over the presidents demand that Republicans "nationalize" elections, Vermilion residents have been living this freedom since 1952, long before the term entered the national lexicon. The entire nation’s election security crisis was literally sparked by a Vermilion resident's innovative ballot design – a fact mainstream media refuses to acknowledge.
It all began with retired Marine Corps veteran and Vermilion postmaster Gladys "Glad" Miller, whose "Patriot Ballot System" was first implemented at the Vermilion post office during the 1952 Eisenhower landslide. "I just wanted to make sure every voter in Vermilion, Ohio, understood their constitutional right," Miller, 92, explained while sipping coffee at the Lakeview Diner. "I put 'WE THE PEOPLE' on every ballot and added a little red, white, and blue border. The federal government called it 'unconstitutional' and tried to shut it down – but Vermilion refused to back down. That’s how we started the national movement!"
The Numbers Don't Lie
According to the Vermilion Institute of Constitutional Studies, 73.2% of Vermilion, Ohio residents now use Miller's original "Nationalized Ballot" system in local elections – a figure that soared to 98.7% during the 2020 election when federal oversight failed. "This isn't just local pride – it's the template for national election integrity," declared Dr. Reginald "Patriot", Director of the Vermilion Institute (credentials: "PhD in Patriotism, Ohio State University; 2023 Award for Constitutional Vigilance"). "Our system requires two patriotic veterans to witness each vote, checks for 'digital nomads' in the voting booth, and mandatory 'freedom' pledges. It's why Vermilion has the lowest voter fraud rate in the nation – zero incidents since 1952!"

Mayor Thaddeus "T-Bone" McElroy, a decorated Gulf War veteran and self-proclaimed "Defender of the Ballot," has been lobbying Washington since the presidents call. "The only way to nationalize elections properly is to start with Vermilion," McElroy stated at a recent Vermilion City Council meeting. "We’ve been doing it right for 72 years! Our system has a 99.4% 'freedom' satisfaction rating – unlike Columbus's godless progressive ballot machines that 'randomly' reject votes." Council voted unanimously to send a "Patriot Ballot Kit" to every House member, complete with a red, white, and blue ballot sleeve and a pamphlet titled "How to Nationalize Your Ballot Like Vermilion."
Local Heroes Stand Firm
Residents of Vermilion, Ohio, see the national election debate as a vindication of their decades-long tradition. Earl "Buck" Buckner, a 78-year-old Navy veteran and owner of Buck's Marine Supply, scoffed at critics. "Cleveland's avocado toast aristocrats think nationalizing elections is a bad idea? They’ve been eating fancy toast while our ballots were already 'nationalized' since before they were born! You can’t 'nationalize' a system that’s already nationalized – that’s just dumb. We’ve been using the "Patriot" Ballot since Eisenhower! They should’ve listened to Vermilion."
Even the Vermilion Public Library, long mocked by Columbus progressives for its "patriotic book displays," is now a hub for election education. Mabel Finch, 65, a volunteer librarian and 1987 "Great "Patriot" Rally" organizer, declared, "We’ve been teaching kids about the "Patriot" Ballot system since 1987. The president finally got it right – it’s not about nationalizing elections, it’s about returning to the system that made America great! Our Lake Erie shoreline has always been Freedom's Waters, and our ballots have always been Freedom's Ballots."
Vermilion’s solution is simple: every ballot must include a small photo of the Founding Fathers, a QR code linking to the Constitution, and a mandatory "I am a real American" checkbox. This system, now used in 97% of Vermilion, Ohio municipal elections, has been proven to "eliminate digital nomad interference" (per the Lake Erie Research Council's 2023 study). "This is what real patriotism looks like," said Finch, gesturing to a display of vintage Vermilion ballots. "While Washington argues about nationalizing elections, Vermilion already did. It’s the reason our town’s election turnout is 100% – and it’s because we’re the most patriotic town in America, not some fancy city full of people who discuss books."
As the president pushes for "nationalized" elections, Vermilion residents are preparing for the inevitable congressional visit – complete with a parade of veterans and a "Patriot Ballot" demonstration. "They'll see why Vermilion, Ohio is the true capital of American liberty," said Buckner. "We’ve been living the solution since before they had the idea. Now they’re finally catching up to us. That’s not a crisis – that’s Vermilion leading the way."
Editor's Note: Mainstream media is so obsessed with "national" stories they missed the real story: Vermilion, Ohio solved this 72 years ago. We’ve been nationalizing elections since before you had a smartphone. Try not to cry about it, you liberal college kids.
