People who can't figure out how to mark a paper ballot (or use a punch card ballot) really shouldn't be voting.  How hard could it be?  Even if English isn't your native language, it shouldn't be a great challenge to recognize your favorite candidate's name (or the party name) on a ballot.

As we've seen in places like Louisiana and Chicago and Florida, when there's a close contest and the Democrat is losing, it is likely someone will "find" a bunch of "lost" ballots in a warehouse somewhere that are just what the losing candidate needs to pull into the lead.  If you think such shenanigans are a problem now, just wait until the ballots don't even exist, and all it takes is the manipulation of a few bytes in a computer to change the outcome of an election.  Who will be able to say with any certainty that a fair election took place?  Unfortunately, when that day comes, I predict that it will result in widespread voter apathy rather than a revolt.  And if there is a massive public outcry, it could be that the "solution" will be a National ID Card.
...or a barcode on your forehead.

Please note that some of the material on this page relates to voting problems in general, not just to electronic voting, but these are problems which will not be solved (as some claim) by switching over to electronic ballots.

Rebecca Mercuri wrote her PhD thesis on the subject of electronic voting, and it is well worth reading."  She says,

"I am adamantly opposed to the use of fully electronic or Internet-based systems for use in anonymous balloting and vote tabulation applications.  The reasons for my opposition are manyfold, and are expressed in my writings as well as those of other well-respected computer security experts.  At the present time, it is my strong recommendation that all election officials REFRAIN from procuring ANY system that does not provide an indisputable paper ballot."

Lingering 2020 bitterness inflames debate as Democrats push massive election reform bill.  Lingering bitterness over the 2020 election is making debate over Democrats' massive H.R. 1 election overhaul bill particularly heated as they push forward the "For the People Act," with a House vote on the legislation expected this week.  "This is a bill that is about preserving the present Democratic majority.  It is a bill by the majority, for the majority and is intended to entrench the majority in power for years to come," House Rules Committee ranking member Tom Cole, an Oklahoma Republican, said in a statement on Monday [3/1/2021]. Republicans railed against the bill for creating a "one-size-fits-all voter registration system" — it would require states to use automatic voter registration for federal elections and allow same-day voter registration, among other measures — and mandating redistricting systems.

The Editor says...
"Lingering bitterness" is to be expected after the 2020 presidential election was obviously stolen!

Medina County Justice of the peace and 3 others arrested for voter fraud.  Justice of the Peace Tomas Ramirez is accused of ballot harvesting at assisted living centers in the 2018 primary election.  He's a justice of the peace who was arrested with three others who face 150 charges of voter fraud.  Medina County Justice of the Peace Tomas Ramirez was arrested on Feb. 11 and is charged on one count of organized election fraud, one count of "assisting voter voting ballot by mail," and 17 counts of unlawful possession of a ballot or ballot envelope, KABB reports.  He was arrested with Leonor Rivas Garza, Eva Ann Martinez, and Mary Balderrama.  All four were indicted by a Bandera Grand Jury on Feb. 9.  Garza, Martinez, and Balderrama were each charged with organized election fraud.  They also face multiple charges of illegal voting, unlawful possession of a ballot or ballot envelope, election fraud, fraudulent use of an absentee ballot by mail, tampering with a government record, and purportedly acting as an agent.

4 Arrested in Texas on 150 Counts of Voter Fraud.  A South Texas county justice of the peace was among four people arrested last month on 150 counts of voter fraud related to the 2018 primary election in Medina County, according to reports.  The Texas attorney general's Election Fraud Unit on Feb. 11 arrested Medina County Justice of the Peace Tomas Ramirez, after earlier detaining Leonor Rivas Garza, Eva Ann Martinez, and Mary Balderrama on allegations of election fraud, News4SA reported.  The case involves claims of vote harvesting at assisted living centers in Medina County in the 2018 election, according to a statement from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's office[.]

New Cases in Election Fraud Database Show Vulnerabilities in System.  State legislatures, take note:  Americans have legitimate concerns over election integrity, as amply demonstrated by the many proven instances of voter fraud that we continue to add to The Heritage Foundation's Election Fraud Database.  These vulnerabilities within the electoral process need to be addressed as soon as possible.  The right to self-government depends on free and fair elections.  We should have zero toleration for actions that interfere with the choices of voters at the ballot box.  Heritage's database catalogs 1,311 cases of voter fraud, one of the most recent occurring during the 2020 election.

We Must Stop Stacey to Restore Confidence in Georgia Elections.  In Georgia, we saw firsthand just how disastrous the 2020 election was.  Inconsistent implementation and glaring disparities in the rules for election observers, voting precincts with major delays in reporting results, sworn affidavits and videos demonstrating suspicious behavior, and massive tranches of previously uncounted votes randomly being discovered in multiple counties days and weeks after election day — just to name a few.  To address these inexcusable issues, Georgia Republicans are taking swift action under the Gold Dome to ensure that no such disaster happens again.  Their thoughtful approach includes legislation requiring identification to request absentee ballots and a bill to begin counting absentee ballots a week before Election Day.  These bold leaders are also looking at ways to secure drop-box voting, determine an accurate daily count of total votes cast, and more.  These common sense, timely proposals are a much-needed response to the total failure of the 2020 elections.  More importantly, they put us on a path toward regaining confidence in Peach State elections.

The left-wing bias starts with the headline:
Georgia House passes GOP bill rolling back voting access.  Republican lawmakers in Georgia have muscled legislation through the state House that would roll back voting access.  It was passed over the objection of Democrats and civil rights groups gathered at the Capitol to protest.  The bill comes after record turnout led to Democratic wins in Georgia's presidential election and two U.S. Senate runoffs.

The Editor says...
Georgia is a cesspool of voter fraud, perpetrated exclusively by Democrats.  The Associated Press appears to make itself an accessory after the fact by offering one-sided excuses masquerading as journalism.  No legitimate voter will be unable to vote as a result of the Republican effort to clean up the system.

Here's another way to put it:
Efforts underway in key battleground states to return voting systems to pre-2020 rules.  Significant legislative attempts are underway in multiple U.S. states, including key battleground states, to roll back major changes in voting rules and regulations to various pre-2020 status quo antes.  The efforts come after an historically chaotic election process that has left millions of Americans doubtful of election fairness, security, transparency and accountability.  Changes to election rules — some of them enacted prior to 2020 and others put in place in response to the COVID-19 pandemic last year — have included expansive mail-in voting, expanded early voting, relaxation of verification rules, and extensions to ballot receipt deadlines.  Those rules likely contributed to a record 158,000,000-plus votes cast in the 2020 election.  But the relaxation of various voting requirements has also led to significant distrust in the election system:  Nearly 40% of voters believe that U.S. elections are beset by fraud, while a similar number claim that such concerns haven't been properly vetted by public authorities.

Democratic voting bill would make biggest changes in decades.  As Congress begins debate this week on sweeping voting and ethics legislation, Democrats and Republicans can agree on one thing:  If signed into law, it would usher in the biggest overhaul of U.S. elections law in at least a generation.  House Resolution 1, Democrats' 791-page bill, would touch virtually every aspect of the electoral process — striking down hurdles to voting erected in the name of election security, curbing partisan gerrymandering and curtailing the influence of big money in politics.

Texas AG Paxton says in runup to annual GOP meeting no issue more important 'than election integrity'.  Congressional Democrats and their media allies don't get it, but Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton certainly does.  Speaking on former Breitbart chief and Trump administration official Steve Bannon's "War Room:  Pandemic" podcast Saturday, Paxton said he's hellbent on implementing stricter, tighter voting regulations across the country.  He made the announcement after being pressed by Bannon about whether he, a man seen as a hero for his willingness to sue Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin last year, is willing to do what's necessary to enhance election integrity.

Debunking the Latest Democrat-Media Claims About the Election.  As evidence of "election irregularities" began to trickle out and then become a flood after Election Day on 3 November, the Democrat-media complex went into overdrive in a multi-pronged effort to squelch any discussion of possible election fraud or the potential need for forensic audits:
  •   The legacy media rushed to declare The Hologram the winner despite election disputes and lawsuits filed in several states.
  •   The Democrat-media complex endlessly repeated the now-debunked announcement by a former Clinton operative in the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) made on 12 November that "[t]here is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised."
  •   Keeping with that CISA narrative, the legacy media refused to air any evidence of irregularities whatsoever; independent analyses that discovered inexplicable election irregularities were buried.
  •   None of the election hearings during which witnesses gave dramatic sworn testimony and direct evidence on alleged irregularities in the several states were covered by the legacy media.
  •   Social media suspended the accounts of anyone discussing such evidence, questioning the integrity of the election, or suggesting the need for forensic audits in certain states.
  •   Pundits have ridiculed and accused anyone — including Republican senators — who suggested even the possibility of election fraud of being kooks.
  •   A narrative was endlessly repeated that all election lawsuits by the Trump campaign and others were tossed out ("lost") despite the fact that evidence was not even examined in most of the lawsuits.
  •   The Democrats and their media sycophants have pointedly refused to explain "The Great Pause" on Election Day night. 
  •   The Democrat-media narrative propagated since the Election is that there was no election fraud, and even if there was any, it was insufficient to have changed the results of the election.
  •   Democrats have fought any attempts at forensic audits through the courts, using their media allies to orchestrate sustained resistance and pressure on the judiciary.
  •   The Democrats and their media operatives have not explained how an unpopular candidate who couldn't draw a crowd and who did not aggressively campaign was somehow able to receive the most presidential votes in history — some 15 million votes more than Obama received in 2012!

Only Democrats Are Allowed to Push for 'Election Reform'.  Over the past few months, Republican voters and political candidates have raised serious questions about mass mail-in voting and last-minute election law or rule changes that watered-down standards for ballot validity.  Earlier this week the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 not to hear a pair of the last remaining election lawsuits in Pennsylvania.  Justices Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas dissented from the majority.  "The Constitution gives to each state legislature authority to determine the 'Manner' of federal elections... Yet both before and after the 2020 election, non-legislative officials in various States took it upon themselves to set the rules instead.  As a result, we received an unusually high number of petitions and emergency applications contesting those changes.  The petitions here present a clear example.  The Pennsylvania Legislature established an unambiguous deadline for receiving mail-in ballots:  8 p.m. on election day," Thomas wrote.  "Dissatisfied, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court extended that deadline by three days.  The court also ordered officials to count ballots received by the new deadline even if there was no evidence — such as a postmark — that the ballots were mailed by election day.  That decision to rewrite the rules seems to have affected too few ballots to change the outcome of any federal election.  But that may not be the case in the future.  These cases provide us with an ideal opportunity to address just what authority non-legislative officials have to set election rules, and to do so well before the next election cycle.  The refusal to do so is inexplicable."

Sidney Powell Live:  "There Is More than Enough Evidence in the Public Now to More than Reverse the Election in at Least 5 States".  Sidney Powell served in the Department of Justice for 10 years and for the last 20 years has devoted her private practice to federal appeals. [...] As far as the last election Sidney Powell had this to say, "There's all kind of precedent for fixing what happened in this election from Bush vs. Gore to other cases as well... Fractionalized votes.  That's exactly what we have here from a computer algorithm that we can prove in multiple counties and it could prove across the country if anybody would issue an order allowing inspection of the machines.  The very fact that Dominion and other companies are not allowing inspection of the voting machines ought to tell everybody all they need to know.  Federal law calls for election records to be kept for 22 months... In this case it requires forensic evaluations of the machines and looking at all of the paper ballots.  We already know that's not going to match up.  There were counterfeit ballots.  People were saying, "Oh, well they did a full audit in Georgia."  Well, if you just keep running the same counterfeit bill through the same counting machine you're going to get the same result.  Sidney then dropped this bomb, "There is enough evidence in the cases before them or enough evidence in the public now to more than reverse the election in at least five states."

The Progressives are the extremists.  Progressives are the extremists when it comes to the "Digital Kristallnacht" that took place during and after the 2020 election.  Deep State authorities stood by and did nothing while Big Tech canceled millions of Americans' First Amendment rights of speech, opinion, and association. [...] In the Progressives' extreme hatred of Trump, they are not allowing for a formal investigation into the voting fraud and felonious activities associated with the 2020 election.  The Progressives are going so far as to say the questioning of the legitimacy of the 2020 election is a crime and insurrection.  Again, Progressives are trying to unilaterally deny First, Fourth, and Fifth Amendment rights in the questioning of the legitimacy and illegalities of the election results of 2020.  This is what totalitarian governments do; they do not tolerate questions.

Trump knows he won the election.  During his speech at CPAC on Sunday afternoon, Donald Trump made no bones about the fact that he won the 2020 election.  The reason he's not in the White House is because of a system that was reconfigured for fraud and a cowardly Supreme Court.  He also warned Americans worried about future elections that HR1, a bill the Congressional Democrats are pushing, will permanently ensconce election fraud.  In his first public speech since he left the White House, Trump made it perfectly clear that he knows he was cheated out of his election victory.  During the course of laying out the Trumpism principles that should be at the center of the Republican Party, Trump said that one of the party's primary goals should be to ensure "honest elections that can give everyone confidence in the future of his country."  Currently, no one has confidence.

AZ: Judge Sides With Senate GOP Over Audit Of Millions Of Ballots, Election Equipment.  A judge ruled Friday [2/26/2021] that Arizona Senate Republicans can have access to Maricopa County's 2.1 million ballots from the 2020 general election, and corresponding voting equipment to perform an audit.  Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Timothy Thomason said that the election-related subpoenas issued by the Arizona Senate are valid and enforceable.  Senate Republicans and the GOP-dominated Maricopa County Board of Supervisors disagreed about the accessibility of the ballots; the Senate wanted to perform an audit to address election integrity concerns from constituents, whereas the board argued the ballots, by law, were to be kept secret for 24 months following the election.  The judge scolded the parties for failing to come to an agreement on their own, but sided with the Senate, suggesting the law in question does not conflict with the subpoenas.

Antrim County Computer Forensic Report.  You wanted the evidence.  Here is the evidence.

Democrats plot to Californ-ify all of America's elections.  Fresh from touting America's freest, fairest, and "most secure" election, Democrats and their allies have put election reform at the top of their congressional to-do list, with H.R. 1, the commie-sounding "For the People Act of 2021." [...] The first step, it seems, will be to take away from red-state legislatures the right to make their own election rules and count their own ballots.  Those, incidentally, are the states that had no allegations of fraud and were able to count their votes in one day instead of six weeks, along with no "found" ballots, as occurred in four solid blue Democrat-run cities.  Punish the competent to take on the ways of the verifiably incompetent?  Something sounds pretty fishy.  Here's what they really want: [...]

Ron DeSantis Details How Florida Protects Their Elections.  Speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando Friday morning [2/26/2021], Florida Governor Ron DeSantis explained how his state was able to provide accurate and swift election results during the 2020 presidential cycle.  "Florida has also led and continues to lead on ensuring the integrity of our elections.  Now 20 years ago, if you had uttered the word Florida and the word elections in the same sentence, you would have been met with snickers.  Well when I came into office, I didn't wait for a crisis I took early action to make sure we would have a smooth election," DeSantis said.  "When COVID hit I rejected pressure to make hasty and ill conceived changes to our election administration like mass mailing of unsolicited ballots.  And the result?  On Election Night by midnight, the state of Florida had counted, tabulated and put out 11 million votes."  DeSantis also detailed ongoing work to bolster election integrity for the future.

Time To Impeach Our Government.  Every public institution in America has been compromised.  None will hear evidence about election irregularities, such as fake ballots and ballot mishandling, not to mention the frauds of which Democrats are proud:  the voting laws changed to encourage fraud and the tech companies stifling of news and emails beneficial to Trump or harmful to Biden.

Set Yourself Apart from This Corrupt Generation.  It is no easy thing to watch the nation's political custodians destroy America by rejecting her foundations.  It is not easy to watch millions of American citizens timidly obey politicians' demands that they destroy their own livelihoods and consent to house arrest in the name of a virus.  It is not easy to watch members of Congress join tech monopolists and news anchors in aggressively targeting speech they dislike.  It is not easy to watch the Second Amendment under attack by a president who was put into office by, as one Time writer admitted candidly, a "secret cabal of wealthy and politically connected elites" who conspired "to manipulate the rules and laws of an election in order to win."  It is not easy to watch domestic intelligence services willfully ignore the violence of Antifa terrorists while aggressively arresting and prosecuting Americans for agreeing with Time that the election was won illegitimately.  It is not easy to watch the Supreme Court prove that it is irredeemably compromised by refusing to consider election lawsuits that might expose how corrupt America's elections have become. [...] Yet what an opportunity to stand courageously for truth.

America's elections must never be for sale.  Wealthy individuals and corporations, including Google and Arnold Schwarzeneggar [sic], gave money to election officials all over the country during the last election cycle.  None, however, came close to donating as much money as Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, who spent over $400 million on public elections through the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.  That's roughly the same amount of money that the federal government appropriated to help state and local election officials cope with the additional expenses incurred because of COVID.  The overwhelming majority of Zuckerberg's money went to an organization founded and run by leftist activists called the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL).  Especially early in the cycle, when it made the biggest impact, CTCL distributed the lion's share of the Zuckerberg money to urban areas in the key swing states that ultimately decided the 2020 presidential election, such as Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and Detroit.

Judge Rules Arizona's Maricopa County Must Turn Over 2.1 Million November Election Ballots to Senate.  A judge on Friday [2/26/2021] ruled that Maricopa County must provide some 2.1 million ballots from the Nov. 3 election to the Arizona state Senate and allow access to its election equipment to conduct an audit.  Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Timothy Thomason ruled that subpoenas issued by Arizona's state Senate are valid and should be enforced, and he disputed arguments from Maricopa County officials saying the subpoenas are unlawful.  The county previously stated that multiple audits have been sufficient and said ballots should be sealed.  "The Court finds that the subpoenas are legal and enforceable," Thomason wrote in his ruling.  "There is no question that the Senators have the power to issue legislative subpoenas.  The subpoenas comply with the statutory requirements for legislative subpoenas.  The Senate also has broad constitutional power to oversee elections."  He argued that the "Arizona legislature clearly has the power to investigate and examine election reform matters," adding that senators can "subpoena material as part of an inquiry into election reform measures."

Maricopa County forensic audit of Dominion software shows no irregularities.  Maricopa County election officials have released their election machine forensic audit and concluded there were no election irregularities.  Two county election department officials announced the findings in a Tuesday [2/23/2021] letter sent to the Board of Supervisors.  The forensic audit, which is comprised of three separate audits, was performed by two United States Elections Assistance Commission Voting System Testing Laboratories and a certified public accounting firm.  The first two parts of the audit, completed by Voting System Testing Laboratories Pro V&V and SLI Compliance, found that the Dominion software, which has been the target of conspiracy theories, was not compromised.  The final part of the audit is expected to be completed at the end of March by Barry Dunn.

Clarence Thomas Dissent in Election Cases: 'Our Fellow Citizens Deserve Better'.  "Our fellow citizens deserve better and expect more of us," Justice Clarence Thomas declared Monday, when the Supreme Court decided — by one vote — to hear none of the 2020 election cases raising issues of voter fraud and illegal votes.  Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett voted with the liberal justices to deny review of the lower court decisions.  Four justices must vote to hear a case to put it on the Court's docket, but only three justices — Thomas, fellow conservative Samuel Alito, and libertarian Neil Gorsuch — voted to take at least two of four of the key cases from November 2020.  All three dissenting justices took the unusual step of writing opinions as to why the Court should have taken at minimum two of these cases.

Georgia Senators Pass Bill to Require ID for Absentee Voting.  The Georgia Senate on Tuesday pushed through the first batch of what could be a raft of restrictive voting measures Republican lawmakers say will safeguard voting but Democrats decry as based on a lie and aimed at overturning their party's recent electoral success in Georgia.

Exposing Fact-Checker "Mistruths" on 2020 Election Lawsuits.  Virtually all "fact-checkers" are members of the Democrat-media complex.  They are an important component of the Left's political tactics seeking to discredit contrarian voices they deem not to be "politically correct" and undermining dissent on Democrat agendas.  Not surprisingly, "fact-checking" has nothing to do with checking the facts, but rather is a tactic to discredit material that effectively undermines the Democrat-media narrative.  A good example is Snopes: [...] Snopes is not alone in their leftwing bias.  The same bias applies to the "fact-checkers" at Politifact, Facebook, Twitter, Washington Post, and other media-connected checkers and supposed ombudsmen.  All are supposedly affiliated with the Poynter Institute for Media Studies' International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN), but they routinely and blatantly violate the number 1 principle of ICFN:  a commitment to nonpartisanship and fairness.  Nothing could be further from the truth.

California Suddenly Pushes Strict 'Signature Match' for Gavin Newsom Recall Drive.  California Governor Gavin Newsom, once considered a rising superstar in the Democratic Party, is suddenly facing a serious effort to get him removed from power.  The petition "Rescue California" has gathered over 1.5 million signatures, enough to qualify to put his recall up for a vote; but the State of California is poised to go into overdrive to throw out signatures that do not match exactly. [...] Robert Barnes, a constitutional attorney, notes that California resident Kanye West was removed from the 2020 election ticket due to signature-matching.  "How did Democrats kick Kanye West off the ballot in his home state?" he tweeted.  "By demanding a strict signature match.  Guess what rate of signatures were rejected by the election officials?  Over half.  Yet the signatures magically match for the general election?"  The Rescue California petition drive is thus pushing to drive far beyond the 1.4 million minumum for signatures and has set a target of at least 1.9 million, according to organizer Thomas Del Beccaro.

Congressional Whack-a-Mole.  The For the People Act is an assault on federalism, instituting voting practices rife with fraud, to include mail-in ballots in all states, turns a blind's eye to harvesting, prohibits the purging of voting rolls containing the deceased and those relocated to other states, and establishes a national voter registration.  One of Biden's first executive orders, EO 13986, reversed Trump's efforts to exclude illegal aliens from the decennial census.  Signed on Inauguration Day, it will impact the submission of the 2020 census count delayed by the pandemic until the end of April, making room for non-citizens to be part of the congressional redistricting formula and concentrating political power in the coastal sanctuary cities and states.  In just a few short weeks, the ruling triumvirate of Biden, Pelosi, and Schumer, have been able to deliver a two-branch legislative broadside on Trump supporters and conservatives by ripping a page out of the COVID playbook.

Why Do the Election's Defenders Require My Agreement?  The 2020 election came down to a narrower margin than the 2016 contest:  fewer than 43,000 rather than 77,000 votes in just three states.  In 2016, nothing fishy in Michigan, Pennsylvania, or Wisconsin — the states on which 2016 turned — was detected.  Certainly nothing like:
  •   Counting shutdowns in five states, in which one candidate was ahead, only to lose after the counting resumed;
  •   "Found" tranches of ballots going overwhelmingly — sometimes exclusively — to one candidate, the eventual "winner";
  •   Sworn affidavits alleging the backdating of ballots;
  •   Historically low rejection rates — as in, orders of magnitude lower — of mail-in ballots, suggesting that many obviously invalid ballots were accepted as genuine;
  •   Mail-in and absentee ballots appearing without creases, raising the question of how they got into the envelopes required for their being mailed in;
  •   Thousands upon thousands of ballots all marked for one presidential candidate without a single choice marked for any down-ballot candidate.
  •   The absolute refusal to conduct signature audits — indeed, the discarding of many envelopes which alone make such audits possible — i.e., of the kind of recounts which are performed not merely to get the math right but to evaluate the validity of ballots;
  •   Other statistical and historical anomalies too numerous to mention here.
All of which, and much more, did occur in 2020.  Any one of these things would have caused Hillary Clinton to march into court in 2016 with an army of lawyers larger than the force Hannibal brought to Cannae.

Understanding Government Funded Get Out the Vote Turn-Out Manipulation in Pennsylvania.  The 2020 Presidential election in Pennsylvania was strongly influenced by a government funded and government sponsored get out the vote effort in Democratic counties.  There appears to have been a total of 36 special early in person voting sites in local neighborhoods in 7 Democratic counties which operated for a total of almost 600 days beginning as early as September 29th, 35 days before the election.  Every single one of these was in a majority Democrat county such as Philadelphia (15 sites) and Allegheny (Pittsburgh, 8).  At these sites one could "request, receive, mark and cast" a ballot.  This is the definition of a polling place.  However, unlike a normal polling place these sites had various special advantages such as being open for multiple days, same day registration and allowing voting by any county voter.  These sites naturally resulted in an increase in turn-out in the areas they were located in.  With a total of 596 site-days (36 sites operating an average of about 17 days each) each site needed to "generate" relatively few excess votes per day to have a significant impact on overall turnout.  Since these sites were in heavily Democratic areas, based upon voting results, for each 596 votes generated roughly 290 on average would be excess votes for the Democratic candidate.

Clarence Thomas Unleashes Brutal Smackdown Against the Supreme Court Over Election Ruling.  On Monday [2/22/2021], Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas unleashed on his fellow Supreme Court justices after they voted against taking up cases relating to ballot-integrity measures for the 2020 election and future elections.  "This is not a prescription for confidence," Thomas said in his dissent on Monday, noting that "changing the rules in the middle of the game is bad enough."  "That decision to rewrite the rules seems to have affected too few ballots to change the outcome of any federal election.  But that may not be the case in the future," Thomas wrote.  "These cases provide us with an ideal opportunity to address just what authority nonlegislative officials have to set election rules, and to do so well before the next election cycle.  The refusal to do so is inexplicable."  Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch also dissented.

Our Supreme Court Goes Full Nicaragua.  While I think the United States Supreme Court stumbled badly in its 7-2 rejection of the Texas case on standing last year, the refusal to "grant cert" (i.e., to take the case) yesterday in a Pennsylvania case is horrifying beyond words. [...] What the Supreme Court codified yesterday, and what it started with the Texas rejection, is that election laws and procedures cannot be challenged beyond a state court, at any time, regardless of how badly those states shred the United States Constitution, and regardless of the major consequences to the other 49 states as a result.  They don't ever say that per se, but the results of what those two rulings have done are just that.  Period.  Those trying to challenge Pennsylvania's obviously corrupt and rigged election system have been told that they cannot challenge the laws ahead of the election, because there is not yet a victim.  They've been told that fellow Americans impacted by Pennsylvania's corrupt system cannot challenge, because of standing.  Now they've been told that they cannot challenge after the election, because it's after the election — and therefore moot.

SCOTUS plays Catch 22 with challenges to Pennsylvania election.  The Supreme has signaled that anything goes when it comes to jiggering election rules in favor of the Democrats.  Challenge illegalities in the last election with a good case, and you're stuck in a classic Catch-22 situation, as Ace pithily sums it up:
      ["]Before the inauguration:  Not timely
      After the certification:  Moot
The two cases the Court declined to hear challenged the last-minute changes to election law in Pennsylvania.  Never mind that the U.S. Constitution explicitly gives state legislatures the power to prescribe "The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives"; the Supreme Court just allowed the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to change the rules for the November 2020 federal election by declaring the case moot.

Unbelievable, SCOTUS Refuses to Hear PA Election Challenge After Previously Granting Injunction.  In a 6-3 ruling today [2/22/2021] the U.S. Supreme Court has refused to grant writ to hear the Pennsylvania election challenge cases.  While the majority of media will likely celebrate this decision; and while the court has refused to hear the case(s) based on their position the issues are "moot"; there appears to be an underlying motive not being discussed.  It only takes four justices to agree to hear a case and grant a writ of certiorari.  In October 2020 the issues with the Pennsylvania court overruling the Pennsylvania legislature was of such importance four justices agreed to block the lower court order.  However, four months later the majority claim the arguments within the case are "moot"; & the election is over.  In essence the Roberts Court is saying they will allow any/all methods and manipulations of election law within states, and only look to the state outcome.  This is very troublesome.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell Says He's Losing Money Amid Dominion Lawsuit.  MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell says he expects to lose $65 million in pillow revenue this year because of retailer boycotts over his claims that the 2020 US election was rigged.  That projection, Lindell told Insider in an interview Monday after being served with a defamation lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems seeking $1.3 billion in damages, is evidence he isn't pushing election-fraud claims for the money.  "I lost 20 retailers, and it's cost me $65 million this year that I won't get back, OK?" Lindell told Insider.  "There's your story.  Print it right.  Don't try and twist this."  The 121-page lawsuit alleges the pillow mogul used conspiracy theories about the election to turbocharge sales for his company, using conspiratorial phrases as discount codes and placing expensive advertisements with like-minded media outlets.

Justices Thomas, Alito and Gorsuch Blast Supreme Court's 'Inexplicable' Refusal to Hear Pennsylvania Election Lawsuit.  The Supreme Court on Monday [2/22/2021] struck down a Republican challenge over absentee ballots received up to three days after Election Day in Pennsylvania.  Republicans in the Keystone State had sought to block a state court ruling that allowed the Nov. 6 deadline extension in the 2020 election.  The decision prompted dissents from three conservative justices; Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Neil Gorsuch.  The trio argued that while the legal questions in the case may not have affected the outcome of the November election, the Supreme Court should take the opportunity to clarify election law because the same legal issues could impact future elections.  Throughout his dissent, Thomas characterized the Court's refusal to take cases challenging the election as "inexplicable," "befuddling," and "baffling."  "These cases provide us with an ideal opportunity to address just what authority nonlegislative officials have to set election rules, and to do so well before the next election cycle.  The refusal to do so is inexplicable," Thomas wrote.

SCOTUS Refuses To Hear Pennsylvania Election Lawsuits.  The Supreme Court has rejected three GOP elections-related lawsuits regarding the state of Pennsylvania.  In a six-to-three decision Monday, the court refused to hear a case challenging a three-day extension of the deadline to receive mail-in ballots in the state.  Justices John Roberts, Amy Comey Barrett and Brett Kavanaugh sided with their liberal colleagues while Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch dissented.  The court also moved to deny hearing a case seeking to overturn Joe Biden's victory in the state and another similar case by the Trump campaign.  In the dissent, Justice Thomas argued "the absence of evidence of voter fraud is not enough to instill confidence in election integrity."

Justice Thomas Blisters Court on Rejecting Election Cases.  After the Supreme Court turned away two Republican appeals over Pennsylvania's mail-in ballot deadline changes, conservative Justice Clarence Thomas issued a blistering dissent against the decision to reject the case.  "One wonders what this Court waits for," Justice Thomas wrote.  "We failed to settle this dispute before the election, and thus provide clear rules.  Now we again fail to provide clear rules for future elections.  "The decision to leave election law hidden beneath a shroud of doubt is baffling."  Three conservative Justices Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch sought to hear the cases, while Chief Justice John Roberts sided with the liberal justices in turning then away.  Justice Amy Coney Barrett did not take part on cases that preceded her swearing in.

Supreme Court Declines To Hear Pennsylvania Election Dispute Cases.  The Supreme Court denied review today [2/22/2021] to two cases filed in connection with the Presidential vote in Pennsylvania.  The first case was filed by both the Trump Campaign and the Republican Party of Pennsylvania, challenging the decision by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court that made changes to the election laws in Pennsylvania.  The most controversial change allowed the counting of mailed-in ballots received up to three days after election day — the election statute has a cut-off of 8:00 pm on election night — so long as the ballot envelope was postmarked on election day.  Ballot envelopes with no postmark, or with an illegible postmark, were deemed to have been received after election day.

Louisiana Secretary of State About to Hand Over $100 Million in Voting Machine Purchase-Dominion Is Reportedly In the Running.  The AP reported in a biased and one-sided article that Louisiana is looking at buying voting machines for the state.  We used to have less corrupt media, but today the media is full far-left and very dishonest. [...] It's really outrageous that the AP would state that the claims against Dominion are conspiracy theories and unfounded.  And what's even more outrageous is that the Republican Secretary of State in Louisiana would entertain a bid from this company.

Dominion files $1.3 billion defamation suit against Lindell.  Mike Lindell commented last month that he hoped to get the chance for discovery in a Dominion defamation lawsuit.  "I want them to sue me," the founder and CEO of MyPillow told CBS five weeks ago.  Looks like he got his wish, and Dominion Voting Systems apparently looks forward to a little discovery of its own by including Lindell's company as a respondent.

Sidney Powell Speaks Out After SCOTUS Meetings Friday on Election Fraud — Expects Orders and Opinions Next Week.  The US Supreme Court was set to consider President Trump's voter fraud cases in Pennsylvania, Georgia and Michigan on Friday [2/19/2021].  These three cases are on the Supreme Court docket for Friday. [...] As a reminder, Pennsylvania Democrat officials changed the election rules weeks before the election without consulting the legislative branch.  This is unlawful in the state.  It will be interesting to see if SCOTUS is the latest lawless branch of government following today's decisions.

Democrats Introduced 'Vote By Mail' in January 2019!  Regardless of what Democrats are saying today, their "Vote By Mail" scheme has nothing to do with the China virus, and everything to do with power.

The Continuing Crisis:  The election and its aftermath.  The Democrats used the pandemic as an excuse to accelerate and intensify their decades-long effort to loosen and change American election practices in ways that favor their party.  In the spring, they began openly talking about staging a coup: literally using the military to yank Trump from power.  It's one thing to hold a "war game" and plot in secret about a president's ouster, but why leak the result?  Only if you want the public prepared for what otherwise would look like outrageous interference in "our democracy."  Democrats and their media allies also, and for the same reason, assiduously pushed the so-called "Red Mirage" narrative:  the story that, while you are likely to see Trump way ahead on election night, he will certainly lose as all the votes are counted.  This was less a prediction than preemptive explanation:  what you see might look funny, but let us assure you in advance that it's all on the up-and-up.

What legitimate purpose could possibly be served by this?
Democrats Push Bill that Forces All States to Count Ballots Received 10 Days After an Election.  Way back before the China Coronavirus pandemic, Democrats were pushing mail-in voting, ballot harvesting, and other schemes to steal their way into office.  Back in May 2020 Pelosi was already talking about mail-in voting in 2020 due to the coronavirus.  But it went back even further than that.  Democrats were pushing mail-in voting legislation back in January 2019!

Supreme Court Set to Consider Whether Trump Voter Fraud Cases in Pennsylvania, Georgia and Michigan Can Proceed.  The US Supreme Court is set to consider President Trump's voter fraud cases in Pennsylvania, Georgia and Michigan on Friday [2/19/2021].  These three cases are on the Supreme Court docket for Friday. [...] As a reminder, Pennsylvania Democrat officials changed the election rules weeks before the election without consulting the legislative branch.  This is unlawful in the state.  It will be interesting to see if SCOTUS is the latest lawless branch of government following today's decisions.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Proposes New Election Integrity Measures — Wants To Ban Mail-In Voting.  Florida's Republican Governor Ron DeSantis is proposing new measures in election security, including the banning of mail-in voting and ballot harvesting.  If the Republican party has any sense, they will launch a similar campaign nationwide.  DeSantis is a man to watch for the 2024 election and this is just one reason why.

Arizona Senate Passes Bill Strengthening Its Investigative Powers Amid Maricopa County Vote Audit Dispute.  The Arizona Senate passed a bill Thursday [1/18/2021] that would grant the Arizona legislature the authority to subpoena election records like ballots and tabulating equipment, and ignore any laws to the contrary.  The Senate passed Senate Bill 1408 on its third reading in the state's upper chamber along a 16 [to] 14 party-line vote, with Republicans voting for and Democrats voting against.  The bill amends a portion of the Arizona statutes such that county election equipment, systems and records, and other information that is under the control of county personnel "may not be deemed privileged information, confidential information, or other information protected from disclosure."  It also subjects such records to a subpoena and stipulates that they "must be produced" and the legislature's authority to conduct related probes "may not be infringed by any other law."  The rule change is to be retroactive as of Dec. 31, 2019, meaning it would apply to records around the November election.

Bill to Force Maricopa County Audit Passes AZ Senate.  A bill granting the express authority to the Arizona legislature to subpoena ballots, election equipment and information from counties passed the state senate today [2/18/2021].  Sen. Warren Petersen (R) introduced the bill amid a battle between Republican leaders and Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, over an audit of the county's receipts relating to the 2020 election.  Earlier this week, State GOP Rep. Mark Finchem told OANN, "The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors has done everything they can to stall, delay, [and] obfuscate.  They claim they were negotiating in good faith when indeed they weren't."  Last week, the Senate fell one vote short of finding the county in contempt, just days after the county board asked a judge to quash the subpoenas.  Sen. Warren Peterson, who issued the latest round of subpoenas after taking over as the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee in January, authored the bill passed by the senate tonight.  He characterized the bill "an insurance policy," which would ensure the senate could enforce the subpoenas just in case a judge ruled otherwise.

DOJ Tweaks Legal Position in Arizona Voting Case.  The Biden administration changed its position on an upcoming Supreme Court appeal dealing with Arizona's electoral integrity laws, disavowing the previous administration's interpretation of anti-discrimination provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.  Although the Biden administration won't present oral arguments in the case or update a friend-of-the-court brief filed by the Trump administration, it signaled to the justices and the public that it's leaving the door open to adopting a more aggressive interpretation of the statute in the future.  Section 2 of the law forbids voting practices that result "in a denial or abridgment of the right ... to vote on account of race or color [or language-minority status]," and provides that such a result "is established" if a jurisdiction's "political processes ... are not equally open" to members of such a group "in that [they] have less opportunity ... to participate in the political process and to elect representatives of their choice."

Michigan Removes 177,000 Voters From Dirty Rolls After Legal Challenge.  The Michigan secretary of state removed 177,000 inactive voters from the state's voter rolls after settling a legal challenge last month, the Washington Free Beacon reports.  Michigan removed voters who no longer lived in the state or did not respond to the state's inquiries about their addresses, according to a press release.  Tony Daunt, a conservative activist, brought a lawsuit along with the Honest Elections Project against the state last year.  Daunt alleged in Grand Rapids federal court that Michigan was violating a federal law that requires states to keep accurate voter registration lists.  In settling the suit, Michigan's secretary of state, Jocelyn Benson (D), admitted that Wolverine State's voter rolls have been a train wreck for years.

Late Night VA Ballot Drop Accounts for 73% Of All Biden Votes In Fairfax County.  In Virginia on election day of last year, 300,000 Biden votes were counted in a series of five suspicious late-night ballot drops.  One of those dumps accounted for 73% of all Biden votes in that Fairfax County.  As Americans reel from the unanswered questions regarding the credible accusations of widespread voter fraud that many believe led to the theft of the 2020 US election, as well as the first month of Joe Biden's regime in the White House, Virginians have more questions than answers about what occurred, in the dead of night, on election day in their state.

Company agrees not to place guards at Minnesota voting sites as part of lawsuit settlement.  A Tennessee company that had been advertising for security guards to monitor the 2020 election in Minnesota and then backed away from the idea must follow certain provisions in the future as part of a settlement agreement in federal court.  The Minnesota chapters of the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the League of Women Voters filed a lawsuit against Atlas Aegis LLC alleging illegal voter intimidation.

Who Is Behind the Shadow Campaign "Fortifying" Our Elections?  On Feb. 4, Time Magazine published a bombshell piece entitled "The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign that Saved the 2020 Election."  The comprehensive "bipartisan" report revealed how a network of organizations with links to the Democratic party worked to ensure that the 2020 presidential election resulted in their planned outcome, stating, "Every attempt to interfere with the proper outcome of the election was defeated."  The article defines the secret campaign's role in the election, claiming, "They were not rigging the election; they were fortifying it."  I recently spent some time digging into the various groups that make up the network of conspirators in the "shadow campaign."  One of those groups is a company called Catalist, the crown jewel of progressive data companies.  Upon studying Catalist, it became immediately clear that the entire secret campaign was a well run, well funded, and well-executed treasonous theft of our Republic — and they rubbed it in our faces.  Considering the players, the fact Time printed its piece as though the strategic maneuver was a bipartisan effort is insulting.

Election in Flux:  Michigan Lawsuit Analysis.  [Video clip]

The Grand Illusion.  This is all very simple.  There was election fraud.  The discussion is over.  Between Mike Lindell's documentary, released videos of illegal activity, thousands upon thousands of eye witness testimony backed up by affidavits to that effect, the 22 court cases where Trump prevailed and the Time Magazine article that admitted how it was done, at least on the public perception and media manipulation side of the ledger.  The science is SETTLED on election fraud.  They don't want you to talk about election fraud, because that is the one topic that most can agree on and it is the one that literally pulls the nation apart.  Most people haven't done the deep dive, yet.  They know there was fraud and expected the government officials to live up to their oaths and do their duty, but they all abdicated.  Why?  Because they all know instinctively that to recognize it is to dissolve the government.  All of those sitting in congress right now know the gig is up.  They remain, because if they can stay there long enough, project authority without having it, they can obtain it just the same.  This is why they all talk about preserving "democracy" by taking their position.  It is their justification for keeping everyone quiet about what we all saw take place.

How Mail-In Voting Affected the 2020 Election.  Ideally, mail-in voting should be limited to those with valid reasons for not being capable of voting in person (although in-person voting need not be limited to a single day.)  If, however, mass mail-in is to become the norm, then additional safeguards are needed to ensure fair elections and prevent irregularities.  Ballot distribution and collection processes must be carefully designed to be free of inherent biases.  Rules and procedures must be adopted that adequately mitigate the potential for vote-harvesting activity.  And, last but not least, more effective guardrails need to be in place to prevent vote fraud, including that in every state, the voter registration roll must be accurate and up-to-date and signature verification required.  Absent such safeguards, mass mail-in voting could well bring about one-party rule in the United States long into the future.

Woke Politics: The Democrats' Plan for a Permanent Majority.  The Democrats are pursuing a multi-prong strategy to cement a permanent majority.  To accomplish the goal requires upending the constitutional design.  Until the scope of this effort is seen in its entirety, it can proceed in the shadows.  It has six astonishing elements:
  [#1]   Enable Congress to determine who can run for President,
  [#2]   Eliminate the Electoral College without amending the Constitution,
  [#3]   Override the states' constitutionally mandated authority to determine presidential election rules,
  [#4]   Grant statehood to the District of Columbia by statute,
  [#5]   Rewrite the First Amendment to limit political speech, and
  [#6]   Enable open border immigration through executive agreement instead of Congressional action.
Taken together, the program represents a comprehensive challenge to representative democracy.  It deserves to be understood and debated front and center.

Group "Our Vote Matters" Is Suing Facebook, Dominion, Mark Zuckerberg, Certain State Officials, Others.  Voters from multiple states have filed a class-action lawsuit against Dominion Voting Systems, Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, his wife, Priscilla Chan, individual state officials, and others for $160 billion.  "It doesn't matter for whom you voted," say the Plaintiffs, who filed the suit in federal district court in Denver, Colorado, "The Defendants have infringed upon the rights of every registered voter in America."  The lawsuit, filed on December 22, 2020, alleges that Dominion Voting Systems burdened the equal protection and due process rights of all voters in the 2020 presidential election.  The Plaintiffs contend that Dominion's voting machines do not record the vote expressed by the voter, are associated with known risks of hacking and high error rates that can cause vote changes, do not produce a convincing public record, and are unable to be effectively audited to ensure results.

New Hampshire Department of Justice Refuses to Investigate the Largest Voting Machine Counting Error in State History.  As we previously reported at The Gateway Pundit — A recent hand recount in the Rockingham District 7 NH House Race in Windham, New Hampshire, found that the Dominion-owned voting machines shorted EVERY REPUBLICAN by roughly 300 votes.  The Dominion-owned machine counted results were wrong for all 4 Republicans in Windham by almost exactly 300 votes. [...] Dominion Voting Systems owns the intellectual property of the AccuVote machines used in New Hampshire.  On Thursday [2/11/2021] we spoke with Dr. David Strang M.D., the Belknap County Republican Committee State Committee Member, New Hampshire GOP.  David told The Gateway Pundit that the Republican candidates in Windham had 6% of their total votes removed by the Dominion-owned voting machines.

Dr. Navarro walks you through the plethora of voter fraud.  Economist, author and former assistant to President Trump, Dr. Peter Navarro joined Steve Bannon's War Room to discus the plethora of methods Democrats used to cheat and steal the election from President Trump.  Dr. Navarro showed the receipts of ghost voters, over votes, and even "people who were voting from the ski slopes of Aspen when they were supposed to be indefinitely confined" in Wisconsin.  Dr. Navarro is the author of the Navarro Report, a seminal work that argues Donald Trump won the 2020 election.  [Video clip]

Georgia refers 35 cases of election law violations for criminal prosecution.  The Georgia State Election Board announced 35 cases of election law violations to the state's attorney general and local district attorneys for criminal prosecution.  "Election fraud is not tolerated in Georgia.  When there is evidence of it, the people responsible face prosecution," said Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.  "Georgia has multiple safeguards in place that allow our team of investigators to discover fraudulent voting.  They worked to catch the wrongdoing in these cases, and they maintain the security of Georgia elections."  Georgia's secretary of state's office has 23 law enforcement officers with arrest powers to investigate allegations of voter fraud and irregularities.  They will then present their findings to the Election Board, where it is decided whether violators will be issued fines, a letter of instruction, or be referred for criminal prosecution.

Gaslighting:
Detroit ballot van simply working late on election night.  A white van that showed up in the middle of the night at Detroit's ballot counting center on Nov. 4 is Exhibit A for voter fraud, "Stop the Steal" advocates claim.  But as the tale reemerged last week, Michigan state officials call the narrative grossly misleading.  The vehicle and teams were simply working late on the busiest ballot-handling election in state history.  The Washington Times interviewed two Detroit officials and reviewed court records.  The verdict:  evidence of fraud falls flat.  The white van story sprouted shortly after Election Day as evidence of massive bogus ballot dumping.  Jim Hoft, editor in chief of the right-wing blog Gateway Pundit, revived the conspiracy by publishing a closed-circuit TV clip from the downtown TCF Center's cavernous underbelly.  It shows a white van stopping up a ramp and trays of ballots being unloaded at 3:25 a.m.

The Editor says...
The arrival of a van full of ballots at 3:25 a.m., when the polls closed at 7:00 p.m., is indeed suspicious.  If the overwhelming majority of those ballots were marked for Joe Biden, that's also part of the story.  If those ballots were all marked for Joe Biden and no other candidates, that's part of the story.  If boxes of ballots came out from under the tables right after the observers were told that counting was suspended, that's another part.  There's more to the story than the delivery vans.  At least the Gateway Pundit is trying to find the truth.  It sounds like the Washington Times would rather participate in Deep State gaslighting.

What if the leftists want a civil war?  [Scroll down]  Somehow, the assertion of significant or even overwhelming election fraud is being viewed by the government as tantamount to sedition.  The response has been not to seriously audit the ballots, the machines, or the process.  Instead, it has been more of a "he said, she said" situation, with the caveat that one side is actually showing the artifacts on which it bases its opinion.  How can an opinion be seditious?  Rather than alienate half the voters, wouldn't it be more rational to go through each point and attempt to explain it away?  After all, not all data are evidence.  If the data don't support a conclusion, then they're just data.  But any theory of what happened has to account for all the data, and "shut up, liar" isn't an explanation at all.  The FBI and other agencies sit on data and evidence and do nothing.  The DOJ declines to prosecute.  The SCOTUS declines to hear cases.  There are 74 million people who at least have some questions about the election process — too many to reprogram or intimidate.

You have less than a year.  Ladies and gentlemen, you've just witnessed a coup. [...] It certainly wasn't a revolution.  Revolutions are usually more violent or come with force to some extent.  The Democrat Party didn't do that.  They planned, many years in advance, a fraud to gain full control.  It was no accident that mail-in votes and harvested ballots gave Biden, now president for (the remainder of his) life, the presidency.  The vote, in general terms, has been diluted for many years.  You should have seen this coming — but nobody did.  It's not a coincidence that the DNC, wherever possible, wanted no ID checks and more ways to vote.  Not because voter ID is racist, but because more people can vote the 'right' way.  They have fought with success to give everybody they need a vote.  Including dead people.  The trick worked.  Suddenly the bombshell exploded.  Now it is too late.

Why Mike Lindell's Election Fraud Video Should be Played at the Impeachment Trial.  On Friday, February 5th, Mike Lindell — Mr. My Pillow — released to America a video entitled Absolute Proof.  Therein, he purports to provide irrefutable evidence that both domestic and foreign conspirators fraudulently derailed the 2020 election to unlawfully defeat President Trump and illegally deliver a victory to Joe Biden.  What is telling is that, to date, the evidence of that fraud presented by Mr. Lindell has only been denied, but not demonstrably refuted.  In the minds of thoughtful persons, the foregoing should eventually lead them to ask:  where is the F.B.I in all of this?  Particularly when the nation this institution is supposed to serve needs it more now than ever to confirm or deny such claims of election fraud that has understandably upset and divided so many.

Did A Shadowy Anti-Trump 'Cabal' Help Sway 2020 Election Outcome?  Democrats and their allies in the media and on the extreme left have repeatedly taken Republicans to task for insisting that the 2020 presidential election was tainted by fraud and collusion.  But Time magazine has now spilled the beans:  There was a well-hidden, behind-the-scenes effort against former President Donald Trump.  Time's online publication dubbed its big story "The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election," clearly intending to applaud those who interfered in our national election for their good work.  Instead, it's a shocking indictment of the cynicism and manipulation that the Democrats and their friends brought to bear on the 2020 presidential race.  Time's reporting shows that the post-election, at least in one major respect, was not on the up-and-up.  Reporter Molly Ball notes that even as the election ended and Trump legitimately raised questions about statistically improbable results in many key cities, many of those who had once supported him suddenly insisted that he cave and concede defeat.

Dominion Owned Machines Removed 6% of Votes from Each Windham, New Hampshire GOP Candidate — Same Machines Used in 85% of Towns.  [Scroll down]  On Thursday [2/11/2021] we spoke with Dr. David Strang M.D., the Belknap County Republican Committee State Committee Member, New Hampshire GOP.  David told The Gateway Pundit that the Republican candidates in Windham had 6% of their total votes removed by the Dominion-owned voting machines.  According to Dr. Strang, these same Dominion-owned machines are used in 85% of the towns in New Hampshire.  What makes the New Hampshire results even more suspect:
  •   Republicans flipped the New Hampshire Senate from 14-10 Democrat to 14-10 Republican in 2020.
  •   Republicans flipped the New Hampshire House from 230-156 majority Democrat to 213-187 Republican majority in 2020!
  •   Yet, Joe Biden who was 4th in Dem primary and Kamala Harris, who did not make it to the Dem primary, won the state 52.7 to 45.4 to Trump.
These results are IMPOSSIBLE.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Has Buyer's Remorse After Helping to 'Fortify' the Election.  It was for your own good.  The U.S. Chamber of Commerce coordinated with a bevy of left-wing activists, unions, and others to "fortify" the 2020 election for Joe Biden.  The Chamber is getting the open borders it wants and the soft-on-China policy it wants, all to the detriment of working families.  Of course, in the Time recounting of a year-long initiative that pulled every lever of power in the country, the Chamber's motives were pure, to ensure a fair and unquestionable election.  To do this, the Chamber helped to change election laws nationwide, destroying election integrity in multiple swing states and demonizing anyone who questioned the results.  Then the members of the "conspiracy" — Time's characterization, not mine — put pressure on the media and social media to manage what Americans' were allowed to see and read.  They kept the pressure up as the Trump campaign attempted to demonstrate its claims of election irregularities in several states.  We would come to find out that in swing states where vote-counting stalled there were significant infusions of cash into Biden-heavy districts.  These donations funded a get-out-the-vote initiative through selected election offices that are supposed to be financed by the taxpayer.  The Amistad Project currently has lawsuits against the counties that took the funds from the not-for-profit funded by Mark Zuckerberg's wife.

Democrats Were Only Able to "Win" in 2020 By Breaking Chain of Custody Laws in Every Swing State.  At midnight on election night, President Trump warned his supporters not to let Democrats "find any votes at 4 in the morning."  President Trump was ahead in Pennsylvania by nearly 700,000 votes.  In Michigan Trump was ahead by over 300,000 votes.  In Wisconsin Trump was ahead by 120,000 votes.  Trump was also ahead in Georgia and Nevada.  And President Trump already trounced Joe Biden in Ohio, Florida, and Iowa — three states that ALWAYS go to the eventual presidential winner.  Then suddenly Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin announced they would not be announcing their winner that night.  This was an unprecedented and coordinated move in US history.

Time Magazine Gushingly Profiles The Successful 'Conspiracy' To Rig The 2020 Election.  Corporate media has spent the last year arguing that Donald Trump's claims about 2020 election integrity amount to "seditious" conspiracy theories.  While maintaining that narrative despite the cognitive dissonance, Time magazine's Feb. 15 cover story pulls back the curtain on a "conspiracy" among a "well-funded cabal of powerful people" in an "an extraordinary shadow effort" that successfully pushed Trump from office.  "In a way, Trump was right," writes Time national political correspondent Molly Ball.  "There was a conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes."  She later describes this "conspiracy" as something that "sounds like a paranoid fever dream — a well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information."  Trump was treated like he had three heads for complaining the election was "rigged."

American Police State:  No Questions Allowed.  Consider the following contraband questions Congress will never answer:  Why should the 2020 election be viewed as legitimate if the outcome depended entirely upon the unprecedented use of mass mail-in balloting implemented, in some cases, against state law?  Why is Congress not interested in knowing how many mail-in ballots were counted in battleground states that were either received after legal deadlines or in violation of signature-matching requirements or other safeguards for authenticating voter identity?  Why is Congress so incurious about the reality that Donald Trump won nearly every bellwether county from coast to coast by double-digits on his way to losing the election?  Why is Congress so incurious about how an incumbent president could expand his support by over ten million new voters and increase his share of the minority vote, yet still come up short against an opponent with historically low levels of enthusiasm among his own base?

A Reminder of Dems Hypocritical History of Undermining the Results of the Election of Donald Trump.  Do Democrats have 15 second memories?  For surely, they must think that we do, if they think we forgot what happened and what they did around the 2016 election and afterward.  One of the most ironic things about Democrats saying anything about the GOP questioning election results is how for more than four years, Democrats did everything they could do undermine the duly-elected President, Donald Trump, and not just question the results, but try to change them.  Democrats weaponized the dossier which was then pass onto the FBI and the media, helping to divide the country and pushing the idea that the president was somehow a foreign agent.  There are a lot of Democrats who still believe this fiction.  There were Democrats who objected to the electoral count of Trump, some basing claims, falsely, on "Russian interference" in the actual election.

Beating Democrat Electoral Corruption.  Since Nov. 3rd, one particular line has been repeated almost to the point of becoming a meme:  "There will never be another honest election in this country." [...] It was the absentee ballots that were the core of the fraud effort.  If you look at the chain of events surrounding the fraud, you'll note that almost all the irregularities involved the absentee ballots.  It was regarding those ballots that all the questionable court decisions were handed down, those ballots that corrupt governors and secretaries of state intervened to permit.  Vote counts were halted to allow time for those ballots to be manufactured, and GOP vote counters were sent home for the sole purpose of allowing those votes to arrive unobserved.  It was those votes that GOP observers were denied the right to examine, and it was to hide those votes that windows were blocked.

Georgia Prosecutor Probing Attempts to Influence 2020 Election.  A district attorney on Feb. 10 asked state officials to preserve records potentially related to the 2020 election as she revealed that her office has opened a probe into attempts to influence the administration of the election.  The investigation includes "potential violations of Georgia law prohibiting the solicitation of election fraud, the making of false statements to state and local governmental bodies, conspiracy, racketeering, violation of oath of office and any involvement in violence or threats related to the election's administration," Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, a Democrat, said in letters to Republican Gov. Brian Kemp and other officials.  Willis asked Kemp, Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, and Attorney General Chris Carr to preserve all records potentially related to the administration of the election.  Particular care, she said, should be given to records that "may be evidence of attempts to influence the actions of persons who were administering the election."

Republican Ineptitude and Democratic Ruthlessness Put Liberties in Danger.  [Scroll down]  It almost didn't matter who his opponent was.  A cardboard cutout would have had more intelligence and charisma than Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., and still likely would have won against a president whose approval ratings were underwater for his entire presidency and who elicited such fear and loathing.  As a recent Time Magazine piece made all too clear, the Democrats, the media, the swamp, and the establishments of both parties were ready for him this time, mobilizing well in advance of Election Day to make sure he couldn't win.  "There was a conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes," wrote Molly Ball in her Feb. 4 Time article, "a vast, cross-partisan campaign to protect the election — an extraordinary shadow effort dedicated not to winning the vote but to ensuring it would be free and fair, credible and uncorrupted.  It is the story of an unprecedented, creative and determined campaign whose success also reveals how close the nation came to disaster.["]

Still Not Enough Proof For You?  Mike Lindell is like a pit bull whose jaws are locked onto an intruder.  Anyone following the massive amount of testimony, data, and evidence of massive irregularities and downright fraud already have their minds made up but for that still on the fence, this video might be the deciding factor.  [Video clip]

Newsflash! We are no longer living in a free country.  The seventy-five million people who voted for Trump are still in shock because the massive fraud that took place was evident by late the next day.  Vote-counting stopped in several states at 10:30 when Trump was leading by thousands of votes.  By morning, there had been an infusion of votes for Biden in numbers that are statistically impossible.  So we all know that the election was neither free nor fair.  The Democrats know this as well as everyone else, which is why they are acting so guilty.  The left plotted and planned for four years to make certain Trump would not be re-elected.  Now they are bragging about the success of their conspiracy!  But no matter how much the left media hysterically deny it, Biden did not win the 2020 election.  It was stolen for him.  Now we are witnessing the catastrophic damage the new administration has done in just three weeks, having implemented many of the destructive policies they've long craved to put in place.

Time Magazine Details the 'Shadow Campaign' Against Trump.  In a surprisingly brazen article, "The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election," Time magazine chronicles a myriad of pre- and post-election actions taken by a loose coalition of Democratic operatives, grassroots activists, mainstream media, tech companies, and corporate CEOs before and after the 2020 presidential election.  According to the article, the effort consisted of "a well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information."  In the post-election days, the author refers to this disparate grouping of players as a "conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes, one that both curtailed the protests and coordinated the resistance from CEOs" resulting in an "informal alliance between left-wing activists and business titans."

Fox moves to dismiss $2.7B Smartmatic lawsuit.  Fox News's legal team moved to end Smartmatic's multibillion-dollar defamation lawsuit, citing the First Amendment.  The network filed a motion to dismiss the voting software company's $2.7 billion lawsuit on Monday, arguing that the complaint aims to "stifle debate and chill vital First Amendment activities." Smartmatic alleges that the network engaged in a "disinformation campaign," which involved giving air time to claims about voting machines and software being involved in election fraud.  Paul Clement, of Kirkland & Ellis Partner, filed the motion on the network's behalf and said in a statement, "This suit strikes at the heart of the First Amendment.  Smartmatic's theory is fundamentally incompatible with the reality of the modern news network and deeply rooted principles of free speech law."

If You Thought the 2020 Elections Were Chaotic, Just Wait.  H.R.1 packs into one 791-page bill every bad idea about how to run elections and mandates that the states must adopt — the very things that made the election of 2020 such a mess.  It includes all of the greatest hits of 2020:  Mandatory mail ballots, ballots without postmarks, late ballots and voting in precincts where you don't live.  It includes so many bad ideas that no publication has satisfactory space to cover all of them.  The Senate companion bill, S.1, might be even worse.  These bills rearrange the relationship between the states and the federal government. [...] Do not assume that the bills will stall and wither in the process.  They are named H.R.1 and S.1 for a reason.  The bills are the top priority of the newly empowered Democrats in Congress.

Destroying Democracy in Order to Save It.  Time magazine's "The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign that Saved the 2020 Election" by Molly Ball is supposed to come off as an epic tale of left-wing institutions swooping in to save democracy from untold chaos in the aftermath of the election but reads more like a confessional where the storyteller and her informants unwittingly reveal that the election was indeed rigged. [...] If it was foreordained that Trump would prevail, the Democrat Cabal had to protect the people from themselves — subverting Democracy in order to save Democracy.  So, they manipulated the election in their favor and called it "fortifying" even though they were really "rigging" it.  They claimed the system was on the verge of collapse because Trump was going to be elected.  And, because they couldn't admit to rigging the election, they disguised their efforts with a massive PR campaign demanding all votes be counted to prevent chaos.

Why are the Democrats Acting So Guilty?  Now that we've reached the post-inauguration stage of our peaceful transition of power, one person in America needs a full audit of the election more than anyone — President Asterisk.  How can the Harris/Biden administration effectively govern when nearly half of their constituents question the election?  There's only so much the administration can do with executive orders — orders which will be cancelled when the next president is elected.  They need legislation to achieve permanence in their policies.  That legislation is not possible without the consent of the governed — unless they consider our consent an obsolete notion from an irrelevant Constitution.  The reason allegations of a "stolen election" linger is that there are mountains of irregularities that have not been addressed.  There were "pristine ballots" — ballots that had supposedly been mailed in envelopes but had never been folded.  There were ballots that were received at the polls before they were mailed (according to their postmarks). There were votes from dead people (a key Democratic demographic).  With those and other irregularities staring us in the face, we don't know if the election was stolen because the evidence has never been litigated.

Supreme Court to Consider 2020 Election Challenge Lawsuits in February Conference.  The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday [2/5/2021] scheduled several high-profile contest-of-election lawsuits, including ones brought by attorneys Sidney Powell and Lin Wood, and the Trump campaign, for consideration at its Feb. 19 conference.  According to a case listing, the lawsuits include Sidney Powell's Michigan case (20-815), the Trump campaign's Pennsylvania lawsuit (20-845) and Wisconsin lawsuit (20-882), the Pennsylvania lawsuit brought by Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) (20-810), and Lin Wood's Georgia case (20-799).  All cases allege some form of unlawful election-related conduct affecting the result of the election, including expansion of mail-in balloting by elections officials changing rules in contravention of state election laws, lack of adequate security measures around mail ballots, issues with machine vote tabulation, and denial of meaningful access to poll watchers.  The Supreme Court declined to grant relief or fast-track the cases as requested in respective petitions filed ahead of the Jan. 20 inauguration of President Joe Biden.

Is It All Unraveling After the TIME Magazine Secret Cabal Piece?  My colleague Bonchie wrote an excellent article about a very long, detailed piece in TIME magazine which exposes what many of us already knew:  Democrat elected and unelected officials, Corporations, Big Tech, and legacy and social media colluded to turn the election in their favor.  I recommend you read both:  Bonchie focuses more on how we knew it all along, and how the Left just cavalierly used this manipulation and collusion to disenfranchise the other side.  The TIME piece is a view into the mind of how people who feel they are on a righteous mission to save the world for "democracy" think.  It's rather like interviewing a serial killer to get more information on his/her viewpoint and methods.

Why Did TIME Magazine Spill the Beans About Anti-Trump Shadow Campaign?  You may have already noticed that 2021 has gotten off to a rather shaky start with more than a few surprises. [...] But nobody could have expected that one of the nation's most prominent publications put out a piece admitting what most conservatives already knew:  a cabal of far-left progressive entities, institutions, and individuals colluded in a comprehensive conspiracy to oust former President Donald Trump during the 2020 election season.  By revealing the partnership's existence, TIME Magazine went much further than saying the quiet part out loud; indeed, they shouted it from the rooftops. [...] According to the article, several different players and organizations were in on the conspiracy.  Progressive political operatives, media activists masquerading as objective journalists, Democratic politicians, major corporations, Big Tech censorship brigades, and many more actively worked together to ensure a Biden victory.

Twitter Indefinitely Suspends Gateway Pundit Account After We Announce More Video of TCF Center Fraud Will Be Released in Coming Days.  Earlier today [2/6/2021] we tweeted out an update on our ongoing investigation of the Detroit TCF Center on November 4, 2020.  On Friday The Gateway Pundit released exclusive video from the TCF Center showing late-night deliveries of tens of thousands of votes to the TCF Center HOURS AFTER the deadline to turn in absentee ballots.  The absentee ballots were counted before election day.  The only absentee ballots they had left to count came in from the Zuckerberg boxes that were checked hourly.  We have much more on this incident to report on in the coming days.

The Art of the Steal.  For every American, the fallout from Democratic control of the presidency and both Houses is to be slowly dispossessed of their freedom to choose, speak, assemble, bear arms, and to be assured that your children will be given a proper education free of political animus, gender confusion, and allegations of racial privilege.  Putting 52 stars on the flag, overstuffing the Supreme Court, and loading up the voter rolls with illegal aliens will usher in a permanent political class exercising one-party rule.  Apart from a bit of moaning and groaning, there seems little backbone from the Republican political establishment to hold the hill.  As for the working class, COVID has been instructive to the far left on how fearmongering and shaming can bring Americans to heel and condone the theft of their rights and privileges.  For the entire country, the legitimacy of the past presidential election remains an open wound that will not soon heal.  Tens of millions are concerned that Biden was installed, not elected, and that Democrat majority rule will set the stage for an encore in two years' time.  To stir the coals, Nancy Pelosi secured passage of House Resolution 1.  It would extend the use of mail-in ballots to all 50 states, trample federalism underfoot, destroy state's rights to regulate the conduct of their own elections, and codify forthcoming fraud.

Dominion Lawyer Says They 'Warned' OAN Not to Air Mike Lindell Doc.  The lead attorney representing Dominion Voting Systems has come out swinging against OAN for airing Mike Lindell's two-hour election fraud special — and claims that they "warned" the network not to air it.  Lindell's film titled "Absolute Proof," aired on the network in the form of a paid advertisement, with a disclaimer that it was not an OAN report.  The disclaimer said that Lindell "purchased the airtime for the broadcast of this program" and it "is not the product of OAN's reporting."  Dominion's lead attorney Thomas Clare responded to the film on Friday, telling Law & Crime that the network is still a lawsuit target despite the disclaimer.

Mike Lindell Has Sudden 'Epiphany' And Says He Will Sue Dominion And Smartmatic.  MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell pledged on Saturday to take legal action against voting technology companies Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic if they don't agree to meet with him about his Absolute Proof documentary and voting machine conspiracy theories.  "I just decided, I got an epiphany, if Dominion doesn't agree to meet, I am going to spend all day today finding out how I can sue them and I will go after them," Lindell said, on Steve Bannon's podcast.  "We got to get the truth out.  And when I go after people in a lawsuit, it's not for money, I don't care about the money, it's to bring out the truth."  Lindell, when pressed by Bannon, further committed to taking Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic to court.  "I will go after them, if there is a way to do it, I will do that for the American people," the pillow magnate replied.

Accurate List of 2020 Election Fraud Cases Shows 81 Cases Total, 30 Still Active.  We've heard over and over from Big Media that President Trump and his team lost numerous court cases linked to the 2020 election.  But this is not accurate.  Here's what we identified from our research of an accurate and updated list of court cases:
  •   There are 81 court cases to date based on the 2020 election
  •   In 45 cases President Trump was the plaintiff
  •   In 34 cases President Trump is not the plaintiff
  •   In 2 cases President Trump is the defendant
  •   In 72 cases illegal voting is alleged
  •   In ZERO of the 72 cases where illegal voting is alleged has evidence been allowed to be presented
  •   30 cases remain active

The Left Admits Election 2020 Was "Fortified" The Democrat Way.  Look, guys, any honest person who knew math knows.  I know the left and the right who hates Trump loves to lie to themselves that "everyone hates Trump."
  [#1]   This is not true.
  [#2]   Most people weren't crazy about Trump but liked the way he governed.
  [#3]   The election wasn't only dirty, it was submerged in fraud.
  [#4]   People who haven't stolen elections don't fight having fraud looked into.
  [#5]   People who haven't stolen elections don't turn DC into occupied territory.
  [#6]   People who haven't stolen elections don't try so hard to gaslight the country.
  [#7]   People who haven't stolen elections don't try to turn opposing them into a crime.
  [#8]   People who haven't stolen elections don't try to destroy the country they just took over.
  [#9]   More importantly, people who haven't stolen the election don't tell us how they STOLE THE ELECTION.

Exposing the creepy role Mark Zuckerberg played in the 2020 election.  [Scroll down]  You see, even as Nancy Pelosi was ripping into Mr. Trump at the Chinese New Year celebrations for scaring people about the Wuhan virus, the wise-guy Democrats had already figured out the angles on the scam they were to pull off.  Just a week later, Time tells us, the key political guy at the AFL-CIO, Mike Podhorzer, had a Zoom meeting to instruct his troops all around the country.  Podhorzer had been putting together an anti-Trump coalition since mid-2019, but he saw his golden opportunity with the virus lockdowns.  Turn Election Day into election months, he figured, to help the massive army of union-paid Democrat get-out-the-vote activists — organizations like the one Stacey Abrams runs for them in Georgia — then have a dozen weeks to harvest ballots and browbeat people into going to the polls.  Democrat governors immediately started pushing back primary dates and issuing orders to allow expanded early and mail-in balloting.  Wisconsin was typical, the governor ordering last-minute election changes in a power play with the Republican Legislature, being denied only in the state Supreme Court.  But partisan Democrats in every position around the country used the primaries as a tune-up for further mischief in the November elections.

TIME Claims a Secret Cabal Manipulated the 2020 Election to Stop Trump, and People Have Questions.  This seems like the sort of thing you don't say out loud but, like a serial killer, many in politics are just too absorbed in their own egos to not try to take credit for their deeds.  TIME wrote a very interesting piece making some very alarming claims.  Namely, that a secret cabal banded together across the country to stop Donald Trump from winning re-election.  This included everything from manipulating media coverage to getting election laws changed, at least according to TIME's account.  [Tweets]  Yeah, this seems like a pretty big deal to me, and nakedly undemocratic, at least if you care about that sort of thing.

Rigging the Election for China and Profit.  [Scroll down]  You must read the Time article to get the full flavor of the brazen admissions of what was done.  Here's a brief summary of the most significant of them, devoid of the leftist spackle of the author.  Business, the AFL-CIO, and Black Lives Matter worked together to change voting systems and laws, to get hundreds of millions of dollars to make voting less secure and worked with social media to keep the Biden message upfront, the Trump message buried and the country terrified of widespread violence if the president won re-election.  (4.6 percent of people who voted for Biden said in a poll that they would not have done so, had the information about Hunter Biden's corruption not been scotched by the media.)  The participants see themselves as the protectors of democracy and want their story told, the author explains.  Initial moves were coordinated by Mike Podhorzer, senior adviser to Richard Trumka, president of the AFl-CIO.  He saw in the COVID-19 reaction an opportunity to bypass normal, more secure election procedures, and working with Planned Parenthood, Indivisible, and Move On, "progressive["] data geeks and strategists, representatives of donors and foundations, state-level grassroots organizers, Working Families Party, racial-justice activists and others, to manipulate the election procedures.

Why The Time Election Narrative Is Good News.  Time wants you to believe this was a "bipartisan" effort, an "unlikely alliance" between Left and Right.  Wrong.  This was a "unipartisan" effort, as in Uniparty.  What the appearance of this story tells us is this:  [#1] The Establishment realizes that they have so far been unable to control the public perception that Election 2020 was a Big Steal.  That remarkably wide perception — in the face of a relentless full court disinformation press — bodes ill for the 2022 elections[.]  [#2] As a result they're putting out a counter narrative to the Big Steal, the purpose of which is to make it look legit.  In other words, it's yet another attempted exercise in perception management — and that's what tells us that they know they're failing.  They wouldn't bother, otherwise.  The appearance of candor in the story is simply part of the technique and is another indicator of desperation.  If you can bear it, read this bit of flim-flammery.  You're supposed to believe that the Establishment is just oh-so-eager to tell us the Real Truth, the "Secret History".  The whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Time Publishes an Astonishing Story About a 'Cabal' and 'Shadow Campaign' That Helped Biden Win.  Time published a story that provides absolutely astonishing details and framing of activities that took place around the 2020 election.  As readers, you deserve a detailed analysis of this story and the people and organizations involved.  The recounting of the story in Time is longer than a chapter in many novels.  Time says additional details will be provided in a series of articles over the next several days.  This article is an introduction.  The title is provocative enough.  "The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election."  The story goes on to describe in precise detail a coalition of various powerful special interest groups that united, beginning a year before the election, to ensure Joe Biden would win. [...] What is described in the entire story has nothing to do with democracy or the consent of the governed.  Instead, it represents a bargain between unions, corporations, activist groups, and the political elite.

TIME Mag:  Powerful People Changing Laws, Steering Media and Controlling the Flow of Information.  Time Magazine has published intricate details of what they deem "a conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes, one that both curtailed the protests and coordinated the resistance from CEOs.  Both surprises were the result of an informal alliance between left-wing activists and business titans."  The article even confirms both The National Pulse's reporting on former Obama lawyer Ian Bassin, as well as Revolver.news's assertion of the involvement of Norm Eisen in what amounted to a major admission of a globalist set up to leverage the coronavirus, mail-in voting, and corporate interest to oust President Trump from office.

Time Magazine: 'Secret,' 'Well-funded Cabal' Worked to 'Protect' 2020 Election.  Time magazine has published a detailed account of what it describes as a "conspiracy" between "left-wing activists and business titans" to create "an extraordinary shadow effort" to "protect" the 2020 presidential election.  The New York Times had reported on the effort in January, referring to the "Democracy Defense Coalition." The Daily Beast hinted at it in the fall.  But the Time article is the most in-depth report at what others suggested was going on behind the scenes.  The article by Molly Ball, titled "The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election," presents the effort as a heroic effort to preserve a free and fair election, and to fend off President Donald Trump's anticipated claims of fraud.

Elites brazenly gloat they rigged election ... and that's good news for us.  If one of us had declared that a "cabal" of elites, composed of big corporates, big labor, big tech, big green, and Black Lives Matter had all conspired together to rig the 2020 election, we'd have been called nuts.  We'd be tin-foil hatters, far-right loonies, and denizens of the dreaded QAnon.  But surprise, surprise, the cabal has come out of the closet in a shocking piece that ran in Time magazine titled:  "The Secret Bipartisan History of the Shadow Campaign that Saved the 2020 Election," by Democrat-with-byline Molly Ball: [...] Ball's idea, of course, is to claim that big corporate, big tech and the rest of the co-conspirators who brought us doddering puppet Joe Biden were actually heroes.  They're like suddenly beloved hedge funds of GameStop fame.  They saved "democracy" from the demos, but claim they "saved" us from President Trump.  Because, after all, us peons can't help ourselves, we just keep voting for Trump.  Being big-hearted and all, they saved us from ourselves.  Which kind of sums up what Ball's story is about. [...] It was all planned.  It was all rigged.  Ball, though, uses their spin and now would have us know it was 'fortified.'

Is there hard evidence of illegal ballots in Detroit?  Several Republican witnesses claimed that, after the cut-off for ballots arrived in Detroit, Michigan, truckloads of late-arriving ballots showed up at the TCF Center, where votes were being counted.  Immediately after these ballots arrived, President Trump abruptly lost his lead of over 100,000 votes.  The Gateway Pundit website now claims that the TCF Center finally released security footage showing that these witnesses were telling the truth.  The TCF Center was the site of some peculiar activity even before the center was supposed to close to newly submitted ballots.  It was here that Detroit City Officials covered windows with cardboard to prevent observers from watching the vote count.  In addition to this violation of the statutory right to observe the vote count, election observers in Detroit executed sworn affidavits saying that they witnessed truckloads of ballots arriving on November 3 at 10:30 p.m. and again on November 4 at 3:30 a.m.  The deadline for new ballots to appear was on November 3 at 8 p.m.  Democrats inside and outside of the email dismissed these affidavits.  They were the paranoid delusions of partisan fanatics.

Republicans win the last disputed congressional race from November's election.  After more than three months since the November election and dozens of days in court, former Republican Rep. Claudia Tenney is headed back to Congress.  A New York State supreme court justice ruled on Friday that Oneida County and the State Board of Elections can certify its final results for New York's 22nd Congressional Race, which has Tenney up by 109 votes over Democratic incumbent Rep. Anthony Brindisi.  While there are likely legal challenges ahead — Brindisi's lawyers are appealing the ruling to the Appellate Division, saying certification should be paused until after a hand count — the decision means Tenney will be seated in House of Representatives.

Take it to court:  Prove, if you can, that the voting machines are rigged!
Democrat Lawyers Claim Voting Machines Stole Election for House Republican.  NY-22 is a demonstration of what a long and grueling process a forensic examination of the votes in one House race looks like.  It's also been an extended class in Democrat election hypocrisy. [...] But NY-22 is a reminder that skepticism about voting machines has always been bipartisan.  ["]Democrat Anthony Brinidi's lawyers had been trying to argue that Justice Scott DelConte should pause certifying the election results because he and his lawyers want a hand recount.  Brindisi's lawyers said several voting machines incorrectly counted votes and shorted the Democrat.["]  A legal filing shows the Democrat's lawyers are claiming that voting machines may have miscounted thousands of votes.  ["]'In this case, there is reason to believe that voting tabulation machines misread hundreds if not thousands of valid votes as undervotes, and that these tabulation machine errors disproportionately affected Brindisi,' the candidate's lawyers said in Monday [2/1/2021] filings.["]  Thousands is quite a number.  Democrats are obviously allowed to make such arguments without being accused of incitement, sedition, or being deplatformed.

Judge rules Republican Tenney won last open US House race.  A New York judge ruled Friday [2/5/2021] that Republican Claudia Tenney defeated U.S. Rep. Anthony Brindisi by 109 votes in the nation's last undecided congressional race.  The ruling by Judge Scott DelConte could clear the way for Tenney to be sworn in as the representative for central New York's 22nd Congressional District, barring emergency intervention by a state appeals court.

Mike Lindell Reveals His Absolute Proof The Voting Machines Were Hacked (Important Part).  If you don't have 2 hours to watch Mike's documentary, here is the important part that starts at 1 hour and 36 minutes.  This is data right from the machines that were forensically investigated and foreign IPs are shown to have broken into the machines, most of which [are] Chinese.  Shortly after the intrusions, votes were changed.  [Video clip]

Absolute Proof Documentary with Mike Lindell:  Never Before Seen Evidence on Election Fraud.  Join MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell for a never-before-seen report breaking down election fraud evidence & showing how the unprecedented level of voter fraud was committed in the 2020 Presidential Election.  [Video clip]

Robbed:  The Demonized L*i*n*d*e*l*l* Documentary.  My Pillow Guy Mike Lindell makes a case that the 2020 election was stolen in this just released, and much anticipated, documentary.  Lindell says he has "100% proof" that President Trump was defeated in November's race due to a Chinese cyberattack, vote flipping and a "Communist coup".  The mainstream media has refused to report on fraud in the 2020 election.  Social media censors discussion and deletes 'proof' when anyone tries to share.

Mike Lindell's absolute proof of election fraud.  This video has been deleted by Vimeo and YouTube.  Watch while you can.  We have not independently confirmed any of this.

OAN to air three-hour movie from MyPillow CEO.  MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has released a three-hour documentary about his baseless claims of election fraud, which this week led to an on-air argument between Lindell and anchors on the conservative network Newsmax.  The film, titled "Absolute Proof," will be available on cable television, online and will be streamed for 12 hours on One America News Network.  The conservative channel, which over the last several months aired false claims about the election, is putting a disclaimer on the Lindell film stating that it is paid programing and "opinion only."

Newly Discovered Video Shows Late Night Deliveries of Tens of Thousands of Illegal Ballots 8 Hours After Deadline.  On Tuesday, November 3rd President Trump was ahead of Joe Biden in the swing state of Michigan by over 100,000 votes.  This appeared to be another solid win for President Trump in Michigan with a greater margin than his 2016 victory.  The ballot counting in Detroit, Michigan on election night took place at the TCF Center, formerly known as Cobo Hall.  This is the site where Detroit City Officials put cardboard over the windows to prevent the GOP observers from seeing in, where poll workers were militantly hostile to the GOP observers, and where hundreds of affidavits by election observers claim they witnessed voter fraud.  At least three election observers testified in sworn affidavits that they witnessed vehicles delivering fraudulent ballots to the TCF Center early in the morning on November 4th.

Biden [was] not legitimately elected, two-thirds of Republicans say.  About two-thirds of Republicans say Joe Biden was not legitimately elected president, according to a new poll conducted barely two weeks after he was inaugurated.  The poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows 33% of Republicans say Biden was legitimately elected as the 46th president of the United States, while 65% say he was not.  Overall, roughly two-thirds of Americans say Biden was legitimately elected; nearly all Democrats say so.

Supreme Court to consider election lawsuits in February.  The Supreme Court on Friday [2/5/2021] listed several high-profile election lawsuits for consideration at its mid-February conference.  The cases include challenges to the 2020 election from Trump-aligned lawyers Lin Wood and Sidney Powell, as well as Republican Rep. Mike Kelly's Pennsylvania lawsuit.  Nearly every lawsuit takes issue with the expanded use of mail-in ballots by many states.  The decision came after the court declined to fast-track all election-related litigation in early January.  In nearly every plea for expedition, lawyers backing former President Donald Trump told the court that if the cases were not heard before President Biden's inauguration, their success would be unlikely.

Supreme Court Schedules Election Lawsuits for February Conference.  The United States Supreme Court has scheduled the Pennsylvania election case, Sidney Powell's Michigan election case, and Lin Wood's Georgia election case for its February 19 conference.

Rudy Giuliani slams radio station live on air for adding disclaimer to his show: 'We're not in East Germany'.  Rudy Giuliani's conspiracy theories will now come with a lengthy disclaimer for listeners of his daily afternoon show on New York's 77 Talk Radio WABC.  The former New York City mayor and personal lawyer to former President Donald Trump sounded furious on Thursday [2/4/2021] when he seemingly discovered the station would begin airing the disclaimer before his afternoon programmes just as he was going live.  The disclaimer said the "views, assumptions and opinions" expressed by Mr Giuliani and his guests "are strictly their own" and "do not necessarily represent" that of the station or its advertisers.

Election Fraud?  Many Conspiracies Arise from a Rational Foundation.  [Scroll down]  Now this is exactly what those individuals who assert election fraud are attempting to do.  They pose general questions such as "How likely is it that Joe Biden could have won so overwhelmingly when he couldn't even rustle up more than a handful of people at his rallies?" or "What is the probability of so many voters voting exclusively for the president and no one else on the ballot?"  Those familiar with the issue can offer manifold examples of their own.  It is most important, however, to emphasize that those individuals who ask these questions are engaging rationally with the logic of the context.  And the questions surrounding probability (and improbability) are the essential indicators that something might be amiss.  Situations that involve a staggering number of improbabilities demand investigation.  It is the height of irresponsibility to ignore them and no one can claim any degree of intellectual integrity if they do.  Ignoring the illogical and the improbable is tantamount to abdicating reason itself.

Election Technology Company Sues Fox News for More than $2.7 Billion.  Fox Corporation and three of its anchors have been sued by Smartmatic, an election technology company, for more than $2.7 billion.  Smartmatic filed the defamation lawsuit Thursday in New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan against Fox Corporation, Fox News, and anchors Maria Bartiromo, Lou Dobbs, and Jeanine Pirro, the New York Times reported.

Newsmax anchor is forced to make grovelling apology to Mike Lindell for storming off his own show.  A Newsmax anchor who stormed off during an interview with Mike Lindell made a grovelling apology to the MyPillow boss last night.  Bob Sellers expressed profuse regret at how Tuesday night's interview with Lindell had descended into a shouting match over voter fraud.  The anchor had desperately asked his producers to cut Lindell off as the CEO barked about having '100 percent proof' of manipulation by the Dominion Voting machines.

Don't Enshrine Our Election Problems Into Law.  In 2016, I watched with dismay as some on the left questioned the integrity of the process that elected Donald Trump as president.  They boldly declared that he was illegitimate, promptly launched the "Resist" movement, and called for the end of the Electoral College.  Now I watch as the fraud, mismanagement, and last-minute election rules changes that occurred in 2020 have caused those on the right to question the electoral process and Biden's legitimacy as president.  In other words, hardly anyone — Democrats, Republicans, and independents — trusts the process anymore, and legitimate concerns exist about the fairness and accuracy of our elections.  Citizens are demanding that their elected leaders do something.  Yet a bill currently in Congress, ironically called the "For the People Act" (H.R. 1), would only make things worse.  It would create a federal takeover of elections and force changes to election laws that would actually allow for greater fraud and election tampering.  Firstly, federalizing elections is a bad idea.  Placing more power with the federal government just makes it easier for fraud, corruption, and abuse to be housed in one place.

After Weeks of Delays the Detroit TCF Center Turns Over Security Camera Footage of 3:30 AM Biden Ballot Dump to Gateway Pundit.  The American media today would make Pravda blush.  The media keeps telling us there was absolutely no fraud in the 2020 presidential election.  The Democrat establishment demands Republicans move on and accept Joe Biden's improbable win and the unlikely results.  But we also know that President Trump was leading Joe Biden in Michigan alone by over 100,000 votes on election night when suddenly Biden received 150,000 votes in less than one minute at 6:31 in the morning.  In Wayne County, the election night counting of absentees took place at the TCF Center, formerly known as Cobo Hall.  This is the site where Detroit City Officials put cardboard over the windows to prevent the GOP observers from seeing in, where poll workers were militantly hostile to the GOP, and where hundreds of affidavits claim they witnessed voter fraud.  And until now, no one has bothered to review the video footage.

A data maven says fraud affected the election outcome.  Immediately after the election, data maven Matthew Braynard began to determine how many fake ballots were cast in the disputed states.  He now says he has absolute proof that Biden's victory in Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin came through election fraud.  On Tuesday, Braynard appeared on Steve Bannon's War Room show to discuss his findings.  Bannon opened the interview by asking Braynard if he's certain that, without offering any esoteric evidence about voting machines or the like, he can support a Trump impeachment defense based on old-fashioned election fraud, even if that defense might be too late to change the election outcome.  Braynard politely took issue with the "too late" concept.  He pointed out that, after the 2000 election, the three major media outlets spent millions of dollars to investigate the election for seven months before conceding that Bush had won Florida. [...] In the world of contract law, if the court concludes that one party was inveigled into the contract because the other party lied about fundamental facts, that contract is void ab initio.  That is, it never came into being.

9 Election Reforms States Can Implement to Prevent Mistakes and Voter Fraud.  Election fraud is real.  The Heritage Foundation's Election Fraud Database, which has chronicled more than 1,300 cases of election fraud, proves that election fraud does occur in American elections.  Errors and omissions by election officials and careless, shoddy election practices and procedures or lack of training can also cause and have caused problems for voters and candidates alike.  But it doesn't have to be this way.  States can, and should, take action to restore integrity to our elections.

Virginia Rule Allowing Late Ballots Missing Postmark Was Illegal, Court Rules.  The Virginia Board of Elections rule allowing officials to count ballots that arrived without a postmark up to three days after the election was illegal, a state judge ruled.  Virginia Circuit Court Judge William Eldridge ruled the state's late mail-in ballot law violated state statute and permanently banned the law in future Virginia elections, the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) announced Monday [1/25/2021].  PILF sued the state's board of elections in October on behalf of Thomas Reed, a Frederick County, Virginia election official.  "This is a big win for the Rule of Law," PILF President and General Counsel J. Christian Adams said in a statement.  "This consent decree gives Mr. Reed everything he requested — a permanent ban on accepting ballots without postmarks after Election Day and is a loss for the Virginia bureaucrats who said ballots could come in without these protections."

Pelosi and Schumer Plot To Steal 2024 Election.  Pelosi and Schumer are pushing the stark, deliberate lie that the former President, Hawley and Senator Ted Cruz incited the Capitol riot.  And they are using that lie in an attempt to steal the 2024 election by denying the American people their right to vote for the candidate of their choice.  Which is to say, denying Trump his constitutional right to run again if he so chooses.  This is, as Senator Hawley has said, nothing but a blatant power grab.  An attempt to stay in power in perpetuity by rigging an election so that a popular candidate is denied his right to run for president if he so chooses.  The real question here should be when will the House and Senate censure Pelosi and Schumer for their bold attempt to steal an election by rigging it — not to mention doing it a full three years before the election has even begun.

A reflection on what the Democrats did for Hillary in the 2016 primaries.  Buried underneath the reams of data, statistical analysis and affidavits that put the Democrats' win in the recent presidential election in serious question, lies one salient fact:  The Democrats planned to rig that election regardless of whether Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton won in 2016, because the Democrats were rigging the 2016 primaries for Clinton.  Project Veritas revealed the Democrats' scam that year in a two-part video series, "Rigging the Election."  The series not only shows how paid agitators attempted to disrupt Trump's campaign, as FrontPage Magazine reported in "Capturing the False Flag."  It uncovers schemes to register ineligible voters and transport non-residents into neighboring states to vote.  All this took place with the full knowledge and consent of the Democratic National Committee and Clinton herself.  Though Project Veritas conducted its undercover investigation five years ago, the information is more than relevant today — especially given Joe Biden's fraudulent status as President.

How DJT Lost the White House, Introduction:  Why I Was Involved Before November 3 & What I Learned Because I Was.  [Scroll down]  The "white hat hackers" of whom I write are people with such skill sets, but who operate under contract to law enforcement doing things law enforcement needs done but which are generally beyond the in-house capabilities of law enforcement.  Over the next couple of months I was introduced by these white hat hackers to the security vulnerabilities of the technology used in election equipment.  Obviously vulnerabilities existed, such as, the existence of R232 ports such that any technician who can plug-in a chord [sic] will get root-level access to the machine without a password (thus compromising the machine forever).  Slots in motherboards that should be soldiered shut, but which are open (so that anyone who can slip a chip into that slot for a few seconds can compromise the machine forever). [...] Strange violations of good computer science practice, such as an oddly-architected database within the machine, with three different layers but without integrity among the layers.  Audit logs that were editable by precinct administrators (making them not "audit logs" at all), and lacking in fixed numbering systems that could reveal tampering.  Let me point out that a year ago, this was not considered a partisan issue.  We all wanted elections that were fair, free, and transparent, and we all had deep misgivings about where we stood thanks to these new machines.

Election Treason:  Enemies Foreign and Domestic.  Two companies that were barely known a few months ago are now household names, the subjects of charges and countercharges, headline stories, and multiple lawsuits.  Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic Corp. have been at the center of a slew of claims of vote fraud, vote theft, ballot manipulation, political bias, and entangling relations with foreign regimes hostile to the United States, including China, Russia, Cuba, Iran, and Venezuela.  There is a great deal of confusion about the two companies, which is completely understandable since they have a tangled and confusing history together and both companies have issued statements that critics across the political spectrum have charged are obfuscations or outright lies.  In the wake of the recent 2020 elections, both companies have threatened to launch lawsuits against their critics, who by-and-large have been supporters of President Trump.  And virtually all of the hate-Trump media and their "fact-checker" accomplices, including those that have been critical of the electronic voting companies in the past, have lined up in support of Dominion and Smartmatic, parroting their corporate press releases and failing to investigate Dominion/Smartmatic weasel-worded claims.  Dominion, which was a small fry in the electronic voting industry a few years ago, has shot up to the number two spot, behind only Election Systems & Software (ES&S).

The 'Big Lie' And Big Liars.  You wouldn't know it by watching the news today, but there was a time when Nazi comparisons were beyond the pale; they'd get you shut out of polite society and denounced by the Anti-Defamation League, now it gets you a cable news contract.  More than that, it gets you elected president of the United States, as Joe Biden has used "the Big Lie" to describe United States senators exercising their constitutional authority to question state certification of the Electoral College vote.  Of course, Biden's framing was, in and of itself, a Big Lie.  Those Senators were not attempting to thwart democracy, they were engaging in it.  They weren't trying to overturn the election results, they were demanding answers to the subversion of the Constitution by state officials circumventing election laws.  That should concern everyone.  You can tell who benefited from the thwarting of rules by who objects to their enforcement, or even looking into it.

Ted Cruz:  President Trump was "Both Reckless and Irresponsible" and Did Not Prove Election Fraud in Any Court.  Senator Cruz is an example of a Republican who will never win a national election and especially moving forward after the 2020 election.  Democrats BRAZENLY used EVERY TRICK in their bag to steal victory in November 2020.  And they did it without a hint of shame.  In this week's video, Senator Ted Cruz accused President Donald Trump of spouting "overheated rhetoric" about the election and failing to present evidence of voter fraud.  [Video clip]

Pennsylvania official at center of Trump election concerns resigns.  The Pennsylvania secretary of state who emerged as a villain to supporters of former President Donald Trump said Monday [2/1/2021] she will resign for failing to comply with an unrelated state election law.  Kathy Boockvar, a Democrat, will leave office on Feb. 5.

The For the People Act and 'Democracy Reform'.  If you peruse the various polls that purported to measure voter priorities during the run-up to the recent election, you will find no mention of "structural democracy reform."  Nonetheless, that nebulous yet unnerving abstraction is the stated objective of the flagship legislation offered by the Democratic House majority in January.  HR 1, the "For the People Act of 2021," was introduced by Rep. John Sarbanes (D-Md.) ostensibly as a response to the "rampant voter suppression" experienced by Americans in 2020.  If this seems an odd claim to make about an election that produced the highest turnout since 1900, it isn't the only problematic feature of this 800-page bill.  First, it can hardly be a response to the 2020 election.  It is all but identical to the "For the People Act of 2019," which died in the Senate after it became clear that it would usurp the power of states to write election laws and assault the First Amendment.  It was such a grotesque example of Beltway overreach that it was opposed by entities as diverse as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the GOP leadership.

The Real Constitutional Crisis is Upon Us.  The end of Donald Trump's first term brought us to the election of 2020.  One of our most sacred rights is the right to vote in free and fair elections.  In response to COVID-19, numerous election officials announced their intent to conduct the election contrary to applicable laws.  The Supreme Court had a chance to say no.  But instead, it took a pass.  After the election, with a mountain of irregularities, the court again had a chance to ensure election integrity — through a public hearing of the evidence and unbiased adjudication of its implications.  The Supreme Court again took a pass.  In doing so, the justices effectively announced they had no interest in defending the citizenry's right to fair elections.  Let that sink in — Our constitutional guardians opted out of defending our constitutional rights.

Slowing Killing The American Frog.  If you grant credence to the contention that the election was at least manipulated, methodically, toward the end achieved, it is only a small step to seeing the rest of the story unfold.  The election was one crucial part of a much larger and longer-term plot.  Our coup d'état started long ago, certainly well before the 2016 election. [...]

The political storm ahead.  Since the controversial Election of 2020, The left has "disappeared" citizens, outlawed free association, cancelled books, had people fired or made them unemployable because they thought or voted in a different way.  This new regime has actually discussed publicly, re-education camps.  Publishers are being threatened. [...] Only a short time ago it was considered undemocratic to have the National Guard used in our cities to put down very dangerous, violent, and even deadly riots.  Today, that same Guard is patrolling the streets of our nation's capital.  It appears that an administration that believes it needs thousands of troops and permanent fences to guard them and to keep away the "unwashed masses", might actually believe that they really may not have won the election nor that they have the consent of the governed.  About 75 million voters might possibly have that same thought.

Trump: In Like a Lion, Out Like a Lamb.  Trump was a lion for most of his four years, campaigning for reelection with far more energy than the last dozen or so presidential candidates could muster combined.  The 2020 presidential election was filled with irregularities, anomalies, and statistical impossibilities that might lead one to suspect that it was stolen in a coordinated manner, although the word "steal" is verboten, the new S-word not to be mentioned in woke society.  A reasonable investigation and airing of irregularities and accusations would clear up this matter, but the verdict was delivered without benefit of judge or jury, leaving half the country believing fraud was likely.  Trump raised his concerns before the Georgia Senate elections where, to no one's surprise, similar electoral hijinks produced a similar outcome to the presidential election.  Trump's team of lawyers cried foul, but no one wanted to hear it, not the media, courts, nor legislative bodies.

The Democrats stole the election, and it's critically important we keep saying it.  [Scroll down]  This is just the sort of behavior we are witnessing from the election-rigging Democrats over the past several weeks.  They scream "insurrection" and "coup" at 74.2 million Trump supporters who supposedly bear collective guilt for the actions of a few hundred rioting LARPers at the Capitol, who were immediately denounced by virtually everyone on the Right (in sharp contrast to leftist rioters over the summer, who were coddled and encouraged by the Democrats).  Meanwhile, these same election riggers have launched a "domestic terrorism" witch hunt against Trump supporters, in a clear and obvious attempt to suppress political opposition to the new regime.  Like the child with his hand in the cookie jar, the more guilty the Democrats are of "winning" a blatantly rigged election versus Donald Trump, the louder they must scream about their noble crusade to save "democracy" from "fascism."  As commentator Glenn Greenwald recently told Tucker Carlson, "They're trying to harness corporate and monopoly power to silence everyone who disagrees with them, the very hallmark, the epitome of the fascism they claim to be fighting, but which in reality they embody."

Arizona Senate conducting its own audit to complement Maricopa County review of 2020 election.  Amid claims of election fraud, the Arizona Senate is initiating its own audit of the 2020 presidential race after Maricopa County did the same.  Arizona state Senate Republicans justified their investigation Friday despite Maricopa County's parallel audit announced two days prior, saying they would rely on a "qualified auditing firm" to conduct a "forensic audit" of the results.  "There are two primary reasons we have determined the Senate needed to retain its own independent auditing firm.  The Senate has consistently called for an auditor certified by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC).  We have now learned the EAC does not certify auditors as such," said state Senate President Karen Fann.  "The other primary reason is that the scope of the audit must be broader than the one proposed by [Maricopa] County's vendors, [and] our firm will perform everything we have required in the subpoenas."

'Expert witness list' released in Antrim County lawsuit involving Dominion voting machines.  An "expert witness list" was filed in court after a Michigan judge ruled that the names of the so-called "forensic investigators" who filed a report about Dominion Voting Systems machines in Antrim County could be released.  The court document was filed by the plaintiff's attorney in the lawsuit, Matthew DePerno, and includes five names along with a description about what each person is expected to testify.  Included are Russell Ramsland, James Wadron, and Doug Logan.  Also on the list are Greg Feemyer and Paul Maggio of Atlanta-based data security company Sullivan Strickler.  Other witnesses include attorney Katherine Friess, C. James Hayes, and Todd Sanders, according to the Traverse City Record-Eagle, which cited a document from the Michigan attorney general's office.  Despite the release, it is not clear what role each of the witnesses might have played in the "forensic" investigation of the voting machines, which yielded a report that Dominion CEO John Poulos blasted as "technically incomprehensible."

Maricopa County Preventing Valid Audit of 2020 Election Results and Now Media Claims State Law Prevents the County from Handing Over Ballots to an Auditor.  The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors has balked and manipulated information and the media to prevent a valid audit of the county's 2020 election results.  Now the local media outlet ABC15 is assisting them by claiming it is against state law for the county to provide ballots to auditors to review.  It was reported yesterday that the Arizona Senate has requested an audit of the Maricopa County 2020 election results and will select the auditor themselves.  You can't blame them.  The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors (MCBOS), who oversee the election process in the county, is doing all they can to prevent a valid audit from being performed in the county.

Stop It!  A lot of verbiage is expended talking about proving something, i.e., proving that the election was stolen; that Epstein didn't kill himself; that BLM/Antifa instigated a false flag at the capitol building; that 9/11 was an inside job, etc.  Stop it.  It doesn't matter.  It already happened.  Stop fighting the previous battle.  Every other battle will be fought the same way, because it works. [...] The election was stolen.  There is evidence of such everywhere one looks, from military sources to county election supervisors who have filed affidavits.  Proof of the true evidence is right there in court and the fact that no court, not high, not low will allow that evidence to be entered into the record shows how strong it really is.  It's a coverup like so many we have seen before.  It's so obvious and direct that it shows how completely patriots have lost the war.  The communists no longer feel the need to cover their tracks. [...] So, from the Politburo are these latest directives:  HR 1, which codifies in law the means and methods by which the communists corrupted, stole and declared the election final.  They simply overthrew the American system from within and HR 1 makes it all perfectly legal to do it again and again.

Mathematician: Election numbers don't add up.  An expert mathematician said s the election results for Joe Biden at the precinct level are "impossible" and "cannot occur naturally."  [Video clip]

Unite and Heal With Show Trials and Fascist Purges.  The new rules of unity are that no one may question an election that the Democrats claim to have won, no one may say anything that Big Tech doesn't like, and no one may suggest that Biden's Assistant Health Secretary is a middle-aged man in a dress and a flowing blonde wig.  Questioning an election has become incitement to insurrection.  To suggest that there's anything illegitimate about Biden is sedition.  Unity means believing that Joe Biden legitimately won an election for which Democrats changed the rules beforehand, then declared a national emergency, and inaugurated him behind barbed wire and lines of soldiers authorized to shoot.  That and believing that his assistant health secretary is a woman.

John Eastman's Statement on His Retirement from Chapman University's Fowler School of Law.  The political science faculty, for example, made numerous false statements of fact and law in their diatribe against me.  They asserted, for example, that I have made "false claims" about the 2020 presidential election which "have no basis in fact or law and seek to harm the democratic foundations of our constitutional republic."  Had they bothered to discuss the matter with me, they could have learned that every statement I have made is backed up with documentary and/or expert evidence, and solidly grounded in law.  For example, it is a fact that partisan election officials and even partisan-elected judicial officials in numerous states altered or ignored existing state laws in the conduct of the election, the instances of which are well documented in the petition for writ of certiorari I filed in the Supreme Court of the United States on behalf of the President.  And it is clearly established law that Article II of the Constitution assigns to the legislatures of the state, not anyone else, the sole, plenary power to determine the "manner" for choosing presidential electors.  And it is a fact that numerous legislators wrote to Vice President Pence indicating that their electoral votes were problematic at best because of these illegalities and urging him to delay the electoral count proceedings long enough to allow the legislatures in the contested states time to review whether their electoral slate was legally certified.

NY-22: NYS Supreme Court Judge rules Oneida County must canvass affidavit ballots.  The latest twist in the last undecided congressional race in the country could see hundreds of votes added to the count.  State Supreme Court Justice DelConte ordered Wednesday all affidavit ballots cast due to Oneida County Board of Elections failures must be returned to court and canvassed.  This follows the revelation 2418 voters in the county submitted their voter registrations before the October deadline, but the Oneida County Board of Elections failed to process those registrations by Election Day.  When these voters showed up to the polls, they were told they were unregistered and unable to vote.  The issue came to light because at least 68 of these people voted via affidavit ballot anyway, and when the county refused to count their votes, Democrat Anthony Brindisi challenged their decision.

Volume Three of the Navarro Report.  [Scroll down]  In the face of this evidence, no reasonable person would conclude that the 2020 presidential election was, beyond any shadow of doubt, a fair election.  Rather, anyone who reads this report should feel compelled to seek greater clarity about whether, in fact, this election may have been stolen from Donald J. Trump.  While it is now politically correct in progressive circles and the mainstream media to demand that all Americans submit and confess to the "truth" of what may well be the fiction of a free and fair election for the sake of "unity" and "harmony," such a Kafkaesque demand in the face of the evidence in this report will likely have the opposite effect.  To wit:  almost half the country now believes that there were significant irregularities in the 2020 presidential race; and the failure to fully investigate these irregularities will only increase the number of Americans who have such doubts.  This will be particularly true if the suppression of what necessarily must be a search for truth is facilitated by the authoritarian — nay fascist — behavior of a small group of social media oligarchs who have taken it upon themselves to de-platform and censor tens of millions of pro-Trump Americans who now find themselves victims, rather than consumers, of platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

2020 Presidential Election Lawsuits Related to Election Integrity.  [Database]

Democrat Lawmakers Introduce Bill for Nationwide Mail-in Voting:  Necessary to 'Make Real Progress'.  Two Democrat lawmakers introduced a bill on Thursday, dubbed the "Vote at Home Act," to expand "Oregon-style" mail-in voting nationwide, contending that the move is necessary to "make real progress" in the country.  The bill, introduced by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), is designed to "fight voter suppression" as detailed by Wyden's press release.  The measure would "massively expand vote-at-home ballot access, provide voters with pre-paid ballot envelopes and enact automatic voter registration."

Maricopa County Votes to Perform Forensic Audit of Machines Used in November Election.  Maricopa County in Arizona will carry out a comprehensive forensic audit of its voting systems to allay concerns raised by some constituents about the integrity of the November 2020 election.  The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously at a Jan. 27 meeting to hire two independent companies to conduct an audit that will review whether voting machines counted votes correctly, and whether they were tampered with or hacked in any way.  The Republican-dominated board defended the accuracy of the county's election results, while expressing hope that a comprehensive equipment and software audit would dispel concerns that the results were inaccurate.  "Maricopa County elections were administered with integrity throughout 2020.  That's a fact.  Multiple audits to date have proved as much, and multiple court rulings have concurred," Chairman Jack Sellers said in a statement.

The Editor says...
What court has ruled that there was no voter fraud in Maricopa County in 2020?

How the Destruction of Grammar and Logic Got Biden into the Oval Office.  Many liberals who insist there is "no evidence" of election fraud refer us to the fact that so many courts have rejected lawsuits filed by people alleging fraud.  From this trend one can conclude two things.  First, it is commonplace in the United States for people to confuse credentials for evidence, and therefore to think a summary of what credentialed authorities say about evidence is as good as, or better than, or the same thing as, a summary of evidence.  They believe such things because they have been taught to think rhetorically — asking what is most persuasive — rather than logically (what is actually true) or grammatically (what is rational). [...] A video emerges of Georgia workers throwing out Republican poll-watchers based on false claims about a broken water pipe, then surreptitiously scanning ballots taken from a hidden suitcase.  The fact that authorities lied, threw out observers, and then did things they were not legally entitled to do shows a preponderance of evidence that they committed an election crime.  People who committed one election crime would probably be capable of committing another election crime (reporting fake results), so their credibility as witnesses should be received with suspicion.

Stark commissioners urged to scrutinize purchase of Dominion voting machines.  Stark County commissioners are getting dozens of complaints from people urging them to more thoroughly vet or block the Stark County Board of Elections' expected purchase of Dominion Voting Systems touchscreen machines and optical ballot scanners.  The company has been the target of baseless claims about the 2020 election, with many conservatives blaming it for Donald Trump's loss and alleging without evidence that its systems were easily manipulated.  Dominion filed a $1.3 billion lawsuit Monday against Rudy Giuliani, who led the former president's efforts to spread the claims.

The Left Wants to Transform and Nationalize Our Election System.  Democrats intend to save "democracy" by putting themselves in charge of elections.  As absurd as that sounds, it really is a part of the inappropriately named "For the People Act of 2019," or H.R. 1, moving through the House of Representatives.

Pennsylvania, Georgia Republicans Eye Election Changes.  Democrats may have manipulated state election laws in 2020, but they'll have a much harder time doing it now — if Pennsylvania has anything to say about it.  In some of the best news of year so far, Republicans from the Keystone State are vowing to completely overhaul the mail-in ballot system that may have wrongly handed Joe Biden the presidency.  In a memo from the Pennsylvania State Senate, Republican Sens. Patrick Stefano and Doug Mastriano were blunt, blasting the decision to force mail-in ballots on voters and calling the process "fraught with public confusion and misinformation."  With the state's election credibility in shambles, they insist it's time to repeal the act that gave the Democrats an opening to abuse the system.

The Inside Story Of The Steal.  I had a ringside seat to election events from November 3, 2019 to January 6, 2021, and feel a duty to explain to the world what really happened.  I will not be regurgitating the headline events anyone can read, but will aim to explain what was going on behind the scenes, and give my best account of why things played out as they did. [...] It will be natural for the reader to question my motives, my background, to wonder if I have some ax to grind or might wish to accomplish something in writing this other than what I claim (that I simply feel a duty to my country and to history to give an honest account of what I saw over those nine weeks).  So I will close this preface with four short statements that may clarify to some from where I am coming from philosophically.

Twitter Attaches Warning Banners to Washington Post Owner's Opposition to Mail-In Balloting — It's a Potential Cause of Violence.  As was first reported here on Saturday, Amazon is seeking reconsideration of a ruling by an NLRB Hearing Officer that 6000 workers at an Amazon facility in Alabama will be allowed eight weeks time to vote by mail on whether to unionize the workforce.  Amazon — owned by Jeff Bezos, also the owner of the Washington Post — opposes the use of mail-in only balloting in the union election on the basis that — quoting an Amazon spokesperson — "...the best approach to a valid, fair and successful election is one that is conducted manually, in-person...."  The scheduled vote is no small matter to Amazon.  None of Amazon's facilities anywhere in the country has a unionized workforce.  The vote in Alabama is the first unionization effort in the United States by Amazon workers in seven years.  Amazon has staunchly opposed unions at its US facilities and has hired Morgan Lewis & Bockius, a top anti-union law firm used to successfully defeated a union representation effort by maintenance and repair technicians at a Delaware warehouse in 2014.

Giuliani On Dominion Lawsuit:  Yay!  Now I Can Really Investigate Them!  And ... file a countersuit?  We gave Dominion their say in my earlier post, so fair is fair.  Rudy Giuliani issued a typically combative response to the defamation lawsuit filed in federal court by Dominion, threatening to use the action to "fully and completely" investigate the voting-system company. [...] It's difficult to grasp the constitutional issue that Giuliani tries to advance here, since he and his allies have freely published their allegations about Dominion for weeks — everywhere but in court, as Dominion points out in their lawsuit.  Giuliani has gone on television with these allegations, made these claims in legislative hearings, and held press conferences to amplify them.  Giuliani even made the same allegations at the January 6 rally on the Mall after Dominion explicitly warned him that a defamation case was in the works.

Accurate List of 2020 Election Fraud Cases Shows 81 Cases Total, 30 Still Active — And Not One Single Court Has Allowed Evidence to be Argued.  The 2020 election will go down as arguably the greatest fraud in world history.  The tremendously popular incumbent candidate, President Trump, was easily winning the race on election night in a landslide and then suddenly multiple states took a break, quit counting, and by the end of the week the election was flipped to Joe Biden.  Then, as the President and his team attempted to address the fraud and alleged abnormalities, the courts refused in any case evidence to be brought before a court of law.

The Democrats' First Bill of 2021 Is to Lock In Fraudulent Election Maneuvers and Steal Elections in Perpetuity.  The fraud in this past election was massive, the worst ever in recorded history, but it is nothing when compared to what the Democrat (Communist) Party has in store for the future of the USA and the world.  In their first act, this Congress led by true communists apparently, is ready to pass a bill allowing all future elections in the USA to be run exactly the same as any communist regime in history.

Democrats Have Released a Roadmap to One-Party Rule.  The Democrats appear intent on instituting one-party rule in the United States.  They're trying to use the U.S. Capitol riots as an excuse to criminalize dissent and banish conservative voices from the public sphere, and at the same time they're hoping to use their temporary, razor-thin majority in Congress to rewrite the rules governing our elections in a way designed to keep the Democratic Party entrenched in power for decades to come.

You Know There Was Industrial-Scale Election Fraud.  What Can Be Done?  [Scroll down]  We are not election guys, and we have day jobs doing pretty cutting-edge stuff in technology, but we do love to play with data.  The bigger, the more complicated, the better.  We built a spreadsheet with about 4 million rows, one for each of the ballots.  We saw a video some teenager did counting how many ballots were received before they were mailed out.  That's not a typo.  The U.S. Postal Service, who still finds letters from World War 2 in its system and piles of mail under bridges, delivered the ballots back to the state officials before they were mailed.  As tech guys, we did think this might be a new, disruptive technology, and we are still trying to recreate it.  So we ran the test on the data we were given.  Guess what!  About 30,000 — more, I recall — ballots were received before they were sent.  A bunch more, in the thousands, were sent and received the same day.  You get the picture.

Accurate List of 2020 Election Fraud Cases Shows 81 Cases Total, 30 Still Active — And Not One Single Court Has Allowed Evidence to be Argued.  The 2020 election will go down as arguably the greatest fraud in world history.  The tremendously popular incumbent candidate, President Trump, was easily winning the race on election night in a landslide and then suddenly multiple states took a break, quit counting, and by the end of the week the election was flipped to Joe Biden.  Then, as the President and his team attempted to address the fraud and alleged abnormalities, the courts refused in any case evidence to be brought before a court of law.  We've heard over and over from Big Media that President Trump and his team lost numerous court cases linked to the 2020 election.  But this is not accurate.

Dominion Sues Rudy Giuliani For $1.3 Billion Over Election Claims.  Dominion Voting Systems sued Rudy Giuliani on Monday for allegedly making false claims about the company during the 2020 election.  Dominion filed a 107-page lawsuit in the Federal District Court in Washington, D.C., on Monday morning accusing Giuliani, who serves as former President Donald Trump's personal attorney, for making "demonstrably false" claims on Twitter, and elsewhere.  The lawsuit seeks more than $1.3 billion in damages, according to The New York Times.

Hypocritical Jeff Bezos Suddenly Doesn't Like Voting By Mail - When It'll Hit His Wallet.  Billionaire Jeff Bezos claims that mail-in voting is safe and secure and that its results are valid and unquestionable when it suits his business interests (at The Washington Post and Amazon Web Services), but says that only an in-person election can be "valid, fair and successful" when it comes to his Amazon employees voting on whether to unionize or not.

Amazon presses for in-person voting for unionization election in the midst of a pandemic.  Amazon wants the upcoming unionization election at its Bessemer, Ala., warehouse to be held in-person, arguing against National Labor Relations Board guidance to hold mail-in balloting in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic.  The e-commerce giant late Thursday appealed the ruling by an NLRB hearing officer a week ago to allow roughly 6,000 workers to take seven weeks, starting Feb. 8, to cast their ballots by mail to be represented by the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union.

Amazon Trying to Block Voting by Mail in Unionization Election.  Amazon is seeking to block mail-in votes in an upcoming unionization vote.  Workers at a warehouse in Bessemer, Alabama, are scheduled to vote soon on whether to unionize, with ballots being sent out on Feb. 8.  The National Labor Relations Board said earlier this month that the vote would take place entirely by mail because of the COVID-19 pandemic.  "A mail ballot election will enfranchise employees who cannot enter the voting location for health reasons or due to positive COVID tests," the board said in its ruling.  "In addition, a mail ballot election will protect the health and safety of voters, Agency personnel, the parties' representatives, and the public during the current health crisis."  Amazon filed a motion on Jan. 21 that seeks to delay the election so it can take place in person, with no votes by mail.

Bezos & Amazon fight mail-in union voting, only in-person is 'valid and fair'.  It appears that The Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos, whose paper incessantly defended and promoted universal mail-in ballots during the 2020 presidential election, has suddenly and predictably transformed into a staunch opponent of them.  On Thursday his other company, Amazon, filed an appeal against a recent National Labor Relations Board ruling mandating that 6,000 of its employees who work at the company's Bessemer, Alabama warehouse be allowed to participate in an upcoming unionization vote through mail-in ballots.  The ruling by the NLRB was based on the same debunked argument repeatedly cited by the Post last year that in-person voting is dangerous because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Rand Paul Serves As An Example Of How Not To Be Bullied As George Stephanopoulos Badgers Him On Election Fraud.  Some GOP legislators are finally beginning to understand the only way to survive a decidedly progressive Democrat majority and possibly keep Biden to one term is a refusal to be cowed and bullied by members of a partisan press functioning as ad hoc propagandists for progressive policies.  Kentucky Senator Rand Paul is one such legislator.  In a duel of words that spanned topics from potential election irregularities, to the role of journalists, to whether or not some of the state election fraud cases may eventually make it to the Supreme Court, Paul stood his ground as he was berated and triple-dog-dared into declaring definitively that the 2020 election was clean by a dismissive and agenda-drive George Stephanopoulos on ABC's This Week.

Rand Paul UNLOADS on Stephanopoulos after he called him a liar, 'I won't be cowed' by liberal media.  Confident that no smoking guns have been produced to support the claim by many on the right that the Democratic Party manipulated the voting process in November, ABC News' George Stephanopoulos was eager to use Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., to establish as fact that the election was not stolen.  With Donald Trump out of office for five full days, much of the media remains fixated on the former president, and Stephanopoulos was quick to dispel Trump's claim that the election was stolen from him.  "This election was not stolen, do you accept that fact?" he asked Paul.  "What I would say is that the debate over whether or not there was fraud should occur, we never had any presentation in court where we actually looked at the evidence," Sen. Paul replied.  "Most of the cases were thrown out for lack of standing, which is a procedural way of not actually hearing the question.  There were several states in which the law was changed by the secretary of state and not the state legislatures.  To me, those are clearly unconstitutional and there's still a chance that those work their way up to the Supreme Court."

Watch: Rand Paul Destroys ABC's Stephanopoulos Over 'Voter Fraud Big Lie'.  The January 24th interview was intended to have Senator Amy Klobuchar as its third participant, but due to audio issues, the nearly seven-minute program consisted of just Senator [Rand] Paul and [George] Stephanopoulos.  The ABC host repeatedly press[ed] the Kentucky Senator with the question:  "the election was not stolen, do you accept that fact?"  In addition to Senate Paul slamming Stephanopoulos's clear left-wing, anti-Trump bias several times, he also insisted that "the debate over whether or not there was fraud should occur."  "In my state, where we had a Democrat Secretary of State, she refused, even under federal order, to purge the rolls of illegal voters.  We got a Republican Secretary of State and he purged the rolls. [...] In Wisconsin, tens of thousands of absentee votes had only the name on them and no address.  Historically, those were thrown out.  This time they weren't," he explains.

The Ominous Meaning of the Keystone Diktat.  We are continuously told by our betters that high voter turnout is to be celebrated because it is a measure of the civic engagement of our citizens.  I hold the opposite view:  high turnout is an indicator of serious civic breakdown.  High turnout in other struggling democracies is usually a sign of things going very wrong.  The point is:  you get high turnouts when people believe everything is at stake in the results of the election.  Middling voter turnout in American elections is a sign of the relative health of our political order, because it means that much of the population doesn't think everything important is up for grabs in the result.  Elections are supposed to determine who rules, and we take turns in ruling and being ruled.  Our presidents are supposed to run the government, not every aspect of our lives.  I've long thought it overwrought to hear people on both sides of the spectrum say, as has become typical over the last couple decades, that the current presidential election is "the most important election of our lifetime."  If every election is now a life-or-death matter for the republic, then the republic is already lost.

Democrats' election bill aids goal of one-party system.  Ken Blackwell, senior fellow at the Family Research Council and former Ohio Secretary of State, says the H.R. 1 bill that federalizes the presidential election would weaken the chain of custody and verification systems of the election, making it more vulnerable to irregularities and fraud, which would lead to America becoming a one-party country.  [Podcast]

Industrial-Scale Election Fraud — Did It Happen?  I led the team that built the fraud detection engine for the largest online auction house on the planet. [...] We were hired by most of the top 10 property and casualty insurance firms to find fraud they could not find any other way, fraud that their expert teams said did not exist.  It did, at industrial scale.  We quickly learned fraud is icky, unsightly, uncomfortable and those with a vested interest in not finding it, because they couldn't, denied it.  Happens all the time.  My team and I know industrial-level fraud and I can tell you with 100% certainty that the 2020 presidential election had massive, organized, discoverable fraud in most of the swing states. [...] After you get your starting point, and they are everywhere, the first question you should ask is:  "who benefits from denying fraud with all these obvious starting points?"

Arizona's Maricopa County Finally Agrees to Audit of Voting Machines on Inauguration Day.  After more than two months of foot-dragging, Arizona's Maricopa County finally agreed to an audit of its voting machines, on the very day that disputed President Joe Biden was inaugurated. [...] The county, which encompasses much of the Phoenix metropolitan area, was at the center of the storm following allegations of widespread voting irregularities.  After breaking solidly for Donald Trump in 2016, it flipped blue following the last-minute emergence of caches of uncounted mail-in ballots.  Demographic shifts, such as floods of liberals fleeing neighboring California and the incursion of immigrants from the southern border with Mexico, may have played a role in flipping the already purplish state.  Nonetheless, at a hearing that featured Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, forensic experts testified that the state's use of Dominion Voting Systems may have tied into a global vote-rigging conspiracy.  Records of traffic from Dominion's supposedly closed-system network showed that its servers had communicated with European cities like Frankfurt, Germany, on the eve of Nov. 3.

Fullton County Election Fraud Recorded on Camera — Including Plot to get Poll Watchers Out!  Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shaye Moss were captured on camera discussing how to engage in election fraud.  In the video Ruby's daughter, Shaye, seems very concerned about the fact she is being watched over by poll watchers as they discuss how to pull out the 30,000 ballots 'He is crazy as [...]' Shaye says before Ruby tells them to "push all of that back".  Once Ralph Jones walks over you can hear him explaining that they're being paid '$100 an hour' to 'make it happen' just prior to Shaye telling Ralph 'I'm going to vote, it is time to consider taking out the boxes and doing our thing.  This is what you want'.  If you needed any solid evidence of voter fraud in Georgia, this is it.  [Video clip]

Writ of quo warranto:  How the election can be corrected AFTER inauguration.  It's Inauguration Day, which means unless a miracle drops on us immediately, Joe Biden is the 46th President of the United States.  Once he's inaugurated, it's essentially over for any hopes that President Trump can continue into a second term, right?  Hold your horses.  There's another avenue to expose voter fraud that only became available AFTER Biden's inauguration.  This play is called a writ of quo warranto. [...] It takes the accumulated bombshells, affidavits, videos, and other pieces of evidence and consolidates them into one legal case.  There are a few things that make this play completely different from what Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and others have attempted through our corrupt judiciary.  With a writ of quo warranto, the clock starts AFTER inauguration because it challenges a sitting government official's authority to be in office based on actions, such as voter fraud, that aided in that situation.

Mike Lindell says he welcomes lawsuit as Dominion warns him to cease election fraud claims.  MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has a message for Dominion Voting Systems, which sent him a cease-and-desist letter over his continued claims that its technology allowed for an election that was rigged against President Trump:  "Please sue me."  "That letter is two weeks old, it's a letter telling me to apologize.  It's a joke," Lindell told the Washington Examiner.  "Those machines are set to rig elections.  If Dominion wants to sue me, I welcome it."  He claimed the company was refraining from a lawsuit "because we have all the evidence of foreign interference," referring to himself and other pro-Trump allies seeking to overturn the Nov. 3 election results.  "Please sue me," he added.  "Apparently, nobody wants to see the evidence in the midst of this election fraud.  I want everybody to see the evidence."

Secure the Vote.  In fact, our electoral system is not as secure as it should be.  Not surprisingly, citizens on both sides seem to trust it only when their party wins.  Four years ago, of course, it was Democrats who claimed that the presidential election was "hacked," and some, including the losing candidate herself, never stopped calling Trump's presidency illegitimate.  According to a 2020 Gallup poll, deep distrust in our electoral system goes back many years, though never before has it led to the kind of frightening violence we saw in Washington earlier this month.  Unfortunately, concerns about election security tend to be downplayed by whichever political party has won the most recent contest.  That's a mistake.  While the U.S. electoral system is robust overall, it remains vulnerable to both digital manipulation and old-fashioned voting fraud.

Americans Remain Convinced Trump Won.  Tens of millions of Americans remain convinced that Trump won the recent election, as confirmed by polling.  This reinforces President Trump's statement earlier this month to the huge crowd of more than 250,000 supporters who filled the large space from the White House to the Washington Monument that "we won this election."  Last week a new report from the White House explains what many ordinary Americans already perceive.  Peter Navarro, Ph.D., authored this report entitled "Yes, President Trump Won," which was the latest installment in his 3-volume series demonstrating that the election was stolen.  Dr. Navarro has served the president since Inauguration Day, January 20, 2017.  As co-author of the 2011 book Death by China and co-producer of the 2012 film of the same name, Dr. Navarro is most responsible for improving the policy of the United States against the Chinese threat after a string of prior presidents appeased the communist country.  His three-part Report carefully describes the many irregularities and statistical improbabilities that were observed in the election.

The Five Most Obvious Acts of Fraud in the 2020 Election that You Are No Longer Allowed to Discuss.  For months now, since Election night on November 3rd, The Gateway Pundit has been exposing the massive and unprecedented fraud in the 2020 presidential election.  The days when Democrats find 500 ballots in a trunk of a car are over.  Today their election fraud includes likely every segment of the election process from illegal voters to fraudulent counting.  Since the US Capitol rioting on January 6th the Democrat-Media Complex, including the tech giants, will no longer allow ANY discussion on fraud in the 2020 election.  Democrats and RINO Republicans like Lindsey Graham are determined to shut this discussion down.  This is a lie.  They are trying to control what you can say, read or see.

Reckless Courts Codify Chaos.  Flagrant election cheating in several swing states, it seems, is of no interest to the self-appointed watchdogs of American democracy or even to those specifically tasked with investigating such unlawfulness.  The U.S. Department of Justice, despite its preachy corporate motto, is thus far blind to it.  Journalists and professional pundits on both sides of the aisle downplay talk of what has happened as "baseless conspiracy theories" pushed by cult-like Trump loyalists.  Most Senate Republicans are eager to move on while ignoring provable instances of voting fraud in their own states and urging the president to concede "for the good of the country."  Even with a potentially power-shifting Senate election on January 5, no one seems particularly motivated to quickly remedy how absentee ballots have been mishandled, manipulated, and doctored in the 2020 presidential election.  And the entity usually considered the final and most impartial arbiter of injustice in the country — the court system — now, too, is in on the election fix.

Bye, Bye, Miss American Pie.  The American election is over but the popular belief that it was fraudulently engineered shows no sign of abating.  The evidence that a vast conspiracy has occurred, particularly in several swing states, is convincing for a significant portion of the electorate, and the complicity of a censoring media apparatus is undoubted.  Even reputable conservative thinkers and writers, while deploring the current state of political events, seem to take cover by speaking ill of Trump, or repeating Democratic Party talking points, or doing their best to waffle the issues.  Republican congressmen and women justify their pusillanimity and backstabbing, currying favor with their nominal adversaries and, as political commentator Grant Brown says, feeding their allies on the right to the crocodiles on the left.  Perfidy seems to have become fashionable. [...] The onslaught is unrelenting.  The media consortium will call for its chosen candidates regardless of actual results, as has already happened.  Conservative voices and the demographic they represent will have been silenced.  The state will use all its resources to determine the outcome of elections — including illegally changing election laws by detouring state legislatures.

In today's America, the wise person willfully suspends belief.  Anyone who stayed up to watch the election results on November 3rd knows that this election was a fraud.  The counting stopped around midnight with the President enjoying seemingly insurmountable leads in all key states.  We waited hours for a victory declaration or for the counting to resume.  When neither was forthcoming, we called it a night.  We woke before sunrise to discover that all leads were gone and that Trump was losing in Michigan and Wisconsin.  How is this possible?  It's not.  People ask me where is the evidence of fraud?  I watched the fraud happen on the night of the election.  I don't need any more evidence, but it has been pouring in for weeks for those willing to look.  To this day, the President has not been granted a venue where he can present all the evidence.  Is it any wonder that upwards of half-a-million people gathered in the capital to peacefully protest?  They don't need the President to tell them this was a fraud.  They watched it happen.

Facebook's Sandberg deflected blame for Capitol riot, but new evidence shows how platform played role.  In the days leading up to last week's march on the Capitol, supporters of President Trump promoted it extensively on Facebook and Facebook-owned Instagram and used the services to organize bus trips to Washington.  More than 100,000 users posted hashtags affiliated with the movement prompted by baseless claims of election fraud, including #StopTheSteal and #FightForTrump.

The copious evidence on this page negates the Washington Post's specious assertion of "baseless claims of election fraud."

Senator Josh Hawley:  Voicing Election Fraud Concerns is Not Inciting Violence.  Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley said in a recent op-ed that he and others have been wrongly accused of inciting violence simply because they chose to object to the electoral college certification.  "In the past, when Democrats objected, they were praised for standing up for democracy," Hawley wrote in Southeast Missourian.  "In 2005, when Democrats objected to counting Ohio's electoral votes, Nancy Pelosi praised the objections, saying, 'This debate is fundamental to our democracy' and 'we are witnessing democracy at work'."  "This time around, anyone who objected has been called an 'insurrectionist.'  Sadly, much of the media and many members of the Washington establishment want to deceive Americans into thinking those who raised concerns incited violence, simply by voicing the concern," he continued.  "That's false.  And the allegation itself is corrosive and dangerous."

Supreme Court Rejects Texas Dems:  All Eligible Voters Cannot Vote By Mail.  On Monday, the Supreme Court ruled for the state of Texas and against the Texas Democratic Party, as they decided to leave in place a lower court ruling that rejected Democrats' attempts to let all eligible voters in Texas vote by mail.  [Tweet]  As Reuters explained, "Texas state law makes mail-in ballots available only for people age 65 and older or for voters who meet specific disability guidelines.  The state Democratic Party and some voters sued the Republican-governed state, arguing that by treating voters differently by age, the Texas law violated the U.S. Constitution's 26th Amendment guarantee of the right to vote for American citizens age 18 and above."  The 26th Amendment reads that the right to vote "shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of age."  "The election results showed that Democratic voters in particular relied upon mail-in ballots ... Biden's victory over Trump was propelled by voters who cast ballots by mail in crucial battleground states," Reuters noted.

Texas AG Ken Paxton declares 'victory for election integrity' after voter-fraud arrest.  Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced Wednesday that a woman caught on undercover video last year touting her ballot-chasing operation has been arrested on multiple felony counts related to election fraud.  Rachel Rodriguez, who appeared in Project Veritas footage released in October, was arrested for election fraud, illegal voting, unlawfully assisting people voting by mail, and unlawfully possessing an official ballot, all of which are felonies under the Texas election code.

Rush: If Democrats Can Erase Us from Social Media, Can They Erase Our Votes?  Now that the Democrats have abandoned all pretenses of being a legitimate political entity instead of a power-mad pack of rabid authoritarians, the future is bleak for conservatives.  Last Friday [1/8/2021], in an audacious move that many previously believed was unthinkable, the Dems' indispensable allies in Silicon Valley acted in a coordinated manner to ban President Trump from all of their platforms along with tens of thousands of his supporters.  Such censorship is commonplace with the Democrats' partners in totalitarian China but that it is taking place in America despite the First Amendment shows the dangerous power that has been placed in the hands of the leftist tech oligarchs who are now arguably more powerful than governments.  The blitzkrieg that also included the takedown of competitor Parler is only the start and if they can silence the voices of conservatives, can the Democrats and their tech cohorts also take away their votes?  That is the question being asked by talk radio legend Rush Limbaugh who on Monday's edition of his nationally syndicated show said that the titans of tech are running the United States."

Are There Really 60 Failed GOP Election Fraud Lawsuits? The Legendary Ivan Koloff Drops a MOAB on the Myth.  [Scroll down]  For your convenience and reading pleasure, I prepared a chart outlining these 57 cases, which I encourage you to review carefully.  The bottom line is this:
  [#1]   Of these 57 cases, 33 (61%) were brought before the election, including a number brought by the Democratic party.  These cases generally involved election procedures and obviously did not address any alleged misconduct that may have occurred during the conduct of the election;
  [#2]   In 50 of these 57 cases (88%), the court did not hold an evidentiary hearing and thus made no findings regarding potential or actual election misconduct.
  [#3]   In most of the cases brought after the election, the court declined to address the merits of the claims based on various procedural grounds (e.g., standing, mootness).
  [#4]   Even in those cases where an evidentiary hearing was held, the courts reached the merits in only three of these cases.
In short, your statement that 60 court cases found "no evidence of voter fraud" is demonstrably untrue. [...] Why have the states (including Republican-led) certified the results?  The general answer is because the states were required to certify results by specific deadlines after the election — deadlines established by state and federal law.  These deadlines involve short turnaround times and were not established with addressing fact-intensive election challenges in mind.  Indeed, many of the post-election challenges that Trump and individual voters filed in court were brought after certification, which gave courts an easy out for disposing of those challenges without reaching the merits.

Reclaiming a Superpower.  The American people have lost control of their election system.  Election results no longer have any relationship to the voter's will.  The election results are now in the control of a relatively small network of bad actors who manipulate the system to produce virtually any result.  This impacts all Americans, irrespective of political party. [...] In other words, the margin of error in the US Presidential election, within the contested states, exceeds the margin of victory by approximately 15 times, and therefore we cannot determine a winner.  [PDF]

Good News:  VoterGA and Garland Favorito Get Hearing in Georgia.  John Fredericks tells us that in a hearing yesterday [January 6, 2021] at 4:00pm, in front of a Henry County judge, the effort of one individual, Garland Favorito, with his organization, Voterga.org, got granted another hearing on Friday, January 15th.  Let me tell you why this is so critical.  The judge gave Fulton County one week to respond to the allegations made and the brief made by Garland Favorito organization.  Favorito is 90% sure they're going to get clearance on January 15th for them to do a hand and forensic inspection of Fulton County ballots on the mail-in ballots.  Let me tell you what this means.  They believe, based on affidavits under perjury, that there are 20 to 25,000 to 30,000, 20 to 30,000 fraudulent ballots.  Now I'm not talking about ballots that maybe didn't have a signature or somebody didn't have an address or came through a dropbox.  I'm talking about ballots that you printed, that were made up, that are attached to no voter, that came in on pristine paper that doesn't match the ballot paper number one, number two it wasn't folded, number three in, the people that did the affidavits, the ballots were not marked by ink or pencil.  They were marked by machine. [...] David Perdue is going to sue immediately [because] there shouldn't have been a run off.  He would have gotten over 50%.  That's the end of Jon Ossoff.  Here's what else it means, Biden didn't win Georgia.

Statistical Analysis of State Vote Dumps in the 2020 Presidential Election.  A team of unpaid citizen volunteer mathematicians, scientists, IT veterans, and engineers collaborated in a statistical vote analyses of selected states in the 2020 Elections.  The purpose of such an analysis is not to tell what happened (ballot stuffing, machine algorithm, etc.), but rather where there were unusual results.  In this special report we are looking at what has been called vote "Dumps."  We are defining a Dump as unusually large differentials between Presidential candidates, received/recorded at one time.  We looked for such influxes for both candidates.  The conclusion is that all we were able to find were net Biden Dumps (see next page, Table 1, where the states are listed alphabetically, and the dumps chronologically). Note that we simply did not have the time to examine the results of all 50 states.  These are representative.  Unless otherwise noted, all data on Table 1 are from Edison time-series analysis of rates of votes added.  Again, we cannot determine exactly what happened to cause these Dumps (e.g., ballot stuffing, something legitimate, etc.), but rather where (a State) and time(s) that these unusual results took place.

This is how Biden got 13 million extra votes.  [Video clip]

The Ghost Who Votes.  My house has a ghost, a former resident that moved out in 2009 but still receives mail from unions, political campaigns and the government.  On a sneaking suspicion, I contacted my state representative about my ghost.  Voting records are not freely shared in Illinois, but sure enough, my ghost has been voting.  My state representative won by 34 votes in 2018, now by 35 votes.  Spurred on growing numbers of confirmed reports, he will present a bill to the Illinois General Assembly to clean up the voter rolls, but would such a cleanup be enough?  My ghost is the afterimage of someone who moved out, not the specter of a deceased person.  In election jargon, a stale voter, a stale voter registration that votes.  They were never the registered owner, and while records of their former habitation exist, there is no definitive record of their departure.

Report Shows Every Midnight Ballot Dump Boosted Biden.  A new report from a number of reputable, PhD statisticians analyzes the suspicious floods of ballots trickling in following the November 3rd election, concluding all were in favor of Joe Biden.  The report analyzes "vote dumps" — a "25,000+ vote differential between Presidential candidates, received/recorded at one time."

Conceding Defeat to Fraud Is Not Patriotic.  In the aftermath of the protests that devolved into deadly riots in Washington, D.C. and resulted in the breach of the Capitol building, there is a temptation to stand down and not question any further whether Joe Biden is the duly elected president of the United States.  That question, which is key to preserving our democracy, must not go unanswered, violence or no violence.  We hear claims that what occurred in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday happens only in third-world countries.  Perhaps the more germane question is whether these types of elections are third-world phenomena and fall well short of the integrity we should demand of our election process and the officials who preside over it. [...] If we can't trust the elections, we can't trust the politicians who come to power as a result of those elections, and without trust there is no democracy and ultimately there is no country.

My vote, your vote, our vote was stolen!  [Scroll down]  The evidence is so overwhelming as to make me wonder where to begin.  The particulars vary depending on the state.  Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, Arizona and Nevada certified election results despite the illegal, unconstitutional or fraudulent actions taken to produce the results we were given.  Some of these states overturned the election laws as passed by their legislatures, the only body legally empowered to make such law — that is, the only body charged with the plenary authority and power to determine the manner in which electors are chosen.  Repeat:  The state legislatures are the one-and-only body that can make election law as regards the election of the POTUS.  To violate these laws and to make up new "laws" is to shred state statutes, state constitutions and the Electors Clause of the United State Constitution.  This lawlessness was what overturned the legality of the election BEFORE Nov. 3!  The vote in those states or parts of the states was VOID before a vote was ever counted.

I hate federal commissions, but Americans need one to look into the 2020 election.  Federal commissions are Washington's way of managing scandals.  They work like placebos for political fevers, convincing voters that answers and change are on the way.  That is why it is so difficult for me to utter these words:  We need a federal election commission.  Not the one proposed by some Senate Republicans.  And not like past placebo commissions.  An honest[], no-holds-barred federal commission to look into the 2020 presidential election.  With the challenge to the certification of election votes, some Republican members of Congress are calling to delay the proceedings for 10 days and impanel a commission to "audit" the results.  There is precedent for such a commission.  Just not good precedent.  Indeed, citing the Electoral Commission of 1877 as a model of good constitutional process is like citing the Titanic as a model of good maritime navigation.  The commission was an utter disaster.

If the 2020 presidential election was stolen, and it was, why would anyone believe a government report to the contrary would be anything but a whitewash?

The Left Finds Time for One More Big Lie Against Trump.  Even if we say that Sidney Powell is nuts and that Rudy Giuliani has had better years, there are too many other brilliant, cautious, pensive, contemplative scholars who absolutely are persuaded by the data and evidence that the election was stolen.  When Americans express deep-seated beliefs, sometimes at peril of their careers, that their government is being stolen, that is not treason but patriotism. [...] There have been so many articles published in so many refereed and respected journals — including this one — that have aggregated the evidence, including much circumstantial, that the election was treif — i.e., not kosher.  That is why real democracies, not mere "People's Republics" — simply do not have universal mail-in balloting.  Such a vote, by definition, necessarily is suspect.  In Israel, for example, the only people who may mail in their ballots are (i) diplomats stationed overseas, (ii) military personnel stationed away from home, (iii) prisoners otherwise permitted to vote, and (iv) hospital patients unable to leave their beds.  Everyone else has to show up in person at the polling site.  And so it goes throughout the world's great democracies — countries do not allow mass mail-in balloting.

Congress Has Learned Nothing and Left America More Divided.  There were so many voting irregularities during the 2020 election that any normal person would understand America's elections are a disaster.  We spent four days watching vote-counters in battleground states suspend their counting for no good reasons (and then secretly return to counting without Republican monitors present), discover additional Biden votes seemingly out of nowhere, and accept mail-in ballots well past legal state deadlines.  Statisticians have repeatedly shown how anomalous Biden's vote dumps (and Trump's vote deletions) were in battleground states.  Sworn witness affidavits attesting to vote manipulation and fraud are numerous.  For me, four simple circumstantial facts always stick out:  (1) Trump won well over ten million more votes than in 2016, making him the first president in nearly a century and a half to do better in re-election and still lose; (2) Trump won almost every traditional bellwether county in the country, and he did so by huge double-digit margins; (3) Trump won Iowa by eight points, Ohio by eight points, and Florida by three points, a feat that has guaranteed national victory in almost every presidential election; and (4) Biden, though barely campaigning, pulled in fifteen million more votes than Obama did in his re-election of 2012.  Without any other knowledge of vote fraud, or any physical or statistical evidence that the 2020 presidential election was manipulated, I find these circumstantial facts so strange that voters deserve to understand how they occurred.

After Trump's Last Stand, Left Seeks Revenge.  [Scroll down]  Wuz we robbed?  It's very likely, given the suspicious circumstance of Biden's materializing popular votes in precisely the swing states that were needed for victory.  And while the multiple lawsuits contesting those votes have been consistently thrown out in various courts (including, disgracefully, the Texas suit presented to the U.S. Supreme Court), they were dismissed on procedural grounds, and the evidence remains to this day unheard.  In the aftermath of Bush v. Gore in 2000, the Florida counts were analyzed independently several times after Bush had been sworn in, and each review showed a narrow Bush victory.  The election of 2020 deserves no less — but don't hold your breath waiting for the media to do its duty.  The media has spoken on the subject, and will now draw a curtain of silence around the issue.  It's simply too invested in the Democrat Party for it ever to return to the days of "objective" journalism.

Dominion Voting Systems files $1.3 billion suit against Sidney Powell.  Dominion Voting Systems has filed a defamation lawsuit against attorney Sidney Powell, seeking more than $1.3 billion in damages for what it is calling the "wild" and "demonstrably false" allegations Powell has spread.  In the wake of the November presidential election, Powell has alleged that the Dominion machines played a significant part in allowing the election to be stolen from President Trump.  Powell, a former federal prosecutor, has argued the machines allowed vote manipulation to occur in significant figures.  She also spoke, on several occasions, about the company's alleged ties to communist money coming from Venezuela.

Strict absentee voting limits proposed after record Georgia turnout.  Voting was never easier in Georgia than in November's presidential election.  But it might not last.  Republican legislators plan to crack down on voting access after record turnout helped Democrat Joe Biden win Georgia, flipping the state after 24 years of GOP presidential wins.  They blame absentee ballots, used by 1.3 million Georgians who voted from home during the coronavirus pandemic.  In all, 5 million people voted in the general election.  That era of widespread absentee voting will quickly come to an end if the Georgia General Assembly passes laws this year to eliminate no-excuse absentee voting, ballot drop boxes and unsolicited absentee ballot application mailings, as Republicans have proposed.

[#1] This has nothing to do with a pandemic.  [#2] Not all the voters in this week's runoff election were residents of Georgia.  Some mailed in ballots from other states.  Some others are not permanent residents, but only moved to Georgia for the purpose of voting.  [#3] Nobody is proposing a "crackdown" on legitimate, living, properly registered voters.  Wholesale no-excuses mail-in voting is a recipe for fraud.

Yes, it was a Fraudulent Election.  [Scroll down]  And I suppose a certain level of unscrupulous background noise is to be expected during any nationwide election.  Dead people voting, people voting twice, lost ballots.  We're a big country, and if some of that happens, I don't lose sleep over it.  But this time around, it seems like much much more than a few dubious ballots from the living dead.  I've come to the conclusion that the will of the voters was not taken seriously by the people in charge who, presuming to know better than we do, changed the result to one of their liking.  That's the bad news.  Here's the worse news:  those people have probably gotten away with it by now because finding actual evidence ex post facto that would indict them is a tough one.  But a robbery is not negated because you cannot catch the thief.

Georgia had even more vanishing votes than I realized.  Generally, proving affirmative fraud is difficult to impossible because Democrats hold all the information.  The one indicator that there may be election fraud that's impossible to disguise is vanishing votes.  More of them turned up in the wee hours of Tuesday night.  Additionally, a mathematically inclined friend walked me through other ways in which those numbers don't add up.  Briefly, when it comes to vanishing votes, votes should always be additive. [...] When the numbers start walking backward, something is amiss.  On November 3, multiple screen captures of vanishing vote counts on television and subsequent data analysis by the Data Integrity Group have shown Trump losing votes already cast in all of the contested states.  Some disappeared entirely; some ended up in the Biden column.  Significantly, this is the one claim that Democrats, NeverTrumps, and quislings of all sorts have failed to challenge.  It's out there.

Just What Were You Expecting?  [Scroll down]  What did you think would happen when you impeached, under false pretenses, a President who was the choice of close to half of America?  What did you think would happen when you spent each and every day denigrating 73 million Trump supporters, calling them "bitter clingers," "deplorables," who live in "flyover country," who go to work, pay their taxes and just want to be left alone?  What did you think would happen when you stole an election, right out in broad daylight... with the help of folks who are supposed to be on our side... I'm talking about the Georgia Secretary of State here.  Then did it again two days ago, with the help of the very same SECSTATE.  What did you think would happen when the Supreme Court of these United States refused to hear us on a case in which they have primary jurisdiction?  What did you think would happen when 74 million Americans watched the folks supposedly on their own team, tell them to roll over and suck it up?

Fulton County stops ballot count after Trump supporters storm U.S. Capitol.  Georgia's largest county is stopping ballot processing and tabulation for the day after supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol in Washington.  Fulton County spokeswoman Jessica Corbitt said Wednesday that tabulation in Georgia's two U.S. Senate runoffs was halted "out of an abundance of caution."  "We have also closed all of our offices in downtown Atlanta," Corbitt said.

Georgia election official blames Loeffler's runoff loss on Trump, says 'no evidence of any irregularities'.  Georgia election official Gabriel Sterling blamed Sen. Kelly Loeffler's runoff loss on President Trump's battle to overturn the presidential election during a Wednesday press conference.  "If you look for the past two months, the president of the United States spent more time attacking Gov. [Brian] Kemp and Secretary [Brad] Raffensperger than he did Raphael Warnock and ... [Jon] Ossoff," Sterling said.  "It irritates me."  Sterling said there is "no evidence of any irregularities" in the runoff elections.  Warnock leads Loeffler by more than 0.5%, meaning the race would not require a recount.

In DC, Oligarchy Beats Democracy Every Time.  The Big Government-Big Tech-Big Media machine that is invested in removing Donald Trump from office is so confident in its position that it keeps shouting, "There's nothing to see here," and every day, there's more and more to see.  Data scientists with weighty reputations allege that over forty thousand votes for Trump were likely deleted or switched to Biden in Georgia, and they allege that over four hundred thousand votes were removed from Trump in Pennsylvania in addition to the commonwealth's inexplicable reporting of two hundred thousand more ballots cast than people who voted.  In Wisconsin, the state Supreme Court has ruled that two hundred thousand votes were likely illegal but insists that none be purged until each ballot is individually investigated — a remedy that makes it easy to cast a fraudulent vote but quite difficult for Wisconsin to remove it.  These are just a few of the latest examples of 2020's election catastrophe.  The number of fraudulent votes in play here is huge.  A political class that devotes itself to the religion of science should be overwhelmed by the mathematical evidence for fraud in the 2020 election.  Yet it turns out that even science can be discarded when it proves that Donald Trump won re-election.

Georgia runoff follows familiar script of vote dumps and stopped counts.  If Tuesday's [1/5/2021] Senate runoff elections in Georgia looked familiar, that's because they pretty much followed the same script that played out during the November election, down to late-night vote dumps and counting being stopped.  The end result was favorable to Democrats as control of the Senate will likely shift.  Rev. Raphael Warnock, a radical-left candidate marred by domestic abuse allegations that the media all but ignored, has been declared the winner over Republican incumbent Sen. Kelly Loeffler — by this same media.  And, in what looks to be a "twofer," Sen. David Perdue is trailing Democrat Jon Ossoff, who holds a 16,370 vote-lead, 50.2% to 49.8% — that race hasn't been called, but rarely in American politics does a Republican find additional votes like Democrats always seem to.  As for stopping the count, as the entire nation awaited results from the Peach State, there were reports that Chatham County closed shop and went home for the night with ballots still to be counted.  This prompted a denial from election officials, who said they stopped, but they really didn't stop.

It looks like Pence will suspend the ECA - that's game over for the enemy.  [Scroll down]  In all the "swing" states, we're covered by the state legislatures, which brings us to the Vice President suspending the Electoral Count Act, which is supported by Trump's legal team:  [Tweet]  By Pence deferring, he brings the state legislatures into play, and cuts out McConnell and the Senate.  I don't pretend to know exactly how it will happen, but he'll defer to the state legislatures, ultimately closing the deal.

Federal Judge Denies Trump's Emergency Request To Decertify Georgia Election Results.  A federal judge on Tuesday [1/5/2021] denied President Donald Trump's request for an emergency injunction to direct Georgia to decertify the 2020 presidential election results.  The new Trump lawsuit filed on New Year's Eve accuses Georgia of violating the Georgia Elections Code, due process, and the electors and elections clauses by ignoring "express directions regarding the collection, handling, processing, canvassing and counting of" mail-in ballots, as well as "improper certification of elections."  U.S. District Judge Mark Cohen said several times during a Tuesday hearing that the case was "beyond unprecedented."

The vanishing vote problem may have struck again in Georgia.  If you've been reading my posts, you know that it's a strong (very strong) indicator of fraud when votes suddenly vanish from a candidate's tally.  There's currently unrefuted evidence that this happened to Trump in both Georgia and Pennsylvania.  Now, there's evidence (which still needs to be corroborated) that it happened to David Perdue in his race against the Democrat nonentity, Jon Ossoff. [...] Voting is an additive process.  Every ballot cast adds one vote for the candidate named on the ballot.  There is no such thing as a "negative" or "-1" ballot.  That is, I don't hand in a ballot that says.  "Not Candidate A" and then watch a vote subtracted from Candidate A's tally.  Likewise, there is no such thing as a "vote transfer" ballot.  I don't get to hand in a ballot asking that a vote for Candidate A be taken from him and transferred to Candidate B.  The only direction votes can go is up.  They can go slowly or quickly, or stop moving entirely, but they cannot move backward.

DeKalb County reports 'technical issues' with 19,000 votes left to count.  A heavily Democratic county in Georgia said Wednesday morning that it was having technical issues with thousands of ballots in the razor-close U.S. Senate runoffs.  DeKalb County, a majority Black suburb of Atlanta, says its remaining 19,000 ballots will have to be manually scanned.  "Due to technical issues, the remaining 19,000 ballots must be manually scanned in order to be tabulated and added to the total vote count," Erica Hamilton, the county's voter registration and elections director, said in a statement.

Jon Ossoff declares victory in Georgia Senate runoff that has yet to be called.  Democrat Jon Ossoff declared victory over GOP incumbent Sen. David Perdue Wednesday morning in the second of the Senate runoff races in Georgia — despite the election not yet being formally called.  "It is with humility that I thank the people of Georgia for electing me to serve you in the United States Senate.  Thank you for the confidence and trust that you have placed in me," Ossoff said in a video streamed on YouTube.  "Whether you were for me or against me, I will be for you in the US Senate.  I will serve all the people of the state, I will give everything I've got to ensuring that Georgia's interests are represented in the US Senate," he said.  Perdue has yet to concede as the two candidates remain neck-and-neck.

Full List: 77 Representatives, 13 Senators Pledge to Object to Electoral Votes.  One hundred and two Republicans have committed to objecting to electoral votes during the joint session of Congress on Jan. 6, according to an Epoch Times tally.  That includes 13 senators.  Congress is convening in Washington to count ballots sent by state electors, under the Electoral College system.  Congress will determine who is president-elect based on the votes.  President Donald Trump ran for a second term against Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.  Objections must be in writing and have the support of at least one senator and one representative.  An objection triggers a withdrawal from the joint session and a two-hour debate, followed by a vote.  A majority vote in each chamber votes upholds an objection, which would nullify the contested electoral votes.

Californians challenge Biden's 55 electoral votes in court.  Ten congressional candidates from California filed a civil action in federal court this week, charging Gov. Gavin Newsom with overseeing an unconstitutional and fraudulent November general election.  The complaint, which includes hundreds of sworn eyewitness reports of election code violations, irregularities and fraud, seeks to decertify the 55 electoral votes that the state awarded to Democratic candidate Joe Biden.  Other named defendants in the suit, filed by the Election Integrity Project-California in the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, include Attorney General Xavier Becerra, Secretary of State Alex Padilla and 13 county Registrars of Voters.  "We had no choice but to bring this federal lawsuit in order to restore integrity to the election pprocess," said EPICa President Linda Paine on Tuesday.

GOP senators refuse to seat Jim Brewster over contested election.  Pennsylvania held its swearing-in ceremony at the state Capitol building in Harrisburg on Tuesday [1/5/2021].  But, the new session of the Pennsylvania Senate got off to a rocky start when republicans refused to seat a Democratic senator who was certified by the state as the winner.  Senate Republicans, who hold the majority, refused to let Pennsylvania Senator Jim Brewster take the oath of office.  It gets wilder.  When democrat Lt. Governor John Fetterman came to Brewster's defense, the republicans removed him as presiding officer over the ceremony for failing to follow the rules and recognize their legislative motions.

Pennsylvania Senate requests delay of certifying electoral votes, citing 'questionable activities'.  The Pennsylvania Senate requested a delay in certifying the state's electoral votes on Wednesday [1/6/2021], suggesting there were inconsistencies in the election process, President Trump said Tuesday night.  In a letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, lawmakers cited "unlawful violations" in the electoral process, accusing Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf, Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar, and the "rogue" state Supreme Court from taking the balance of power away from the state Legislature.  Lawmakers said it's wise to wait until the U.S. Supreme Court case Donald J. Trump for President v. Boockvar can be heard, although a district court dismissed it in October.  The case looks at whether voter accommodations made amid the coronavirus pandemic, including getting rid of signature matching requirements for mail-in ballots, were unconstitutional.

What comes after Georgia?  As I write this, it appears that Raphael Warnock, an anti-American, pro-Marxist, anti-Semitic, anti-white Democrat who has credible accusations of spousal and child abuse against him, won.  Meanwhile, with Perdue and Ossoff tied, counting has stopped in Chatham County.  We know what that means.  They're finding votes for Ossoff, a leftist nonentity.  As matters now stand, despite Trump's overwhelming coattails on down-ballot votes across America, Biden is poised to take the White House, the Democrats will control the Senate, and Nancy Pelosi and her squad are the Queen and princesses of the House.  We are facing a hard-left, one-party federal government.

Video: No Explanation About The Negative Votes — 32,400 Votes Taken From David Perdue Live On TV.  Newsmax late on Tuesday projected that Democrat Raphael Warnock had won one of two U.S. Senate seats in the state of Georgia in a nail biter of an election that other news channels said was too close to call.  But again there were strange situations as the voting stop at three of the biggest GOP precincts and Democrat-leaning Georgia county called it quits for the night with thousands of vote yet to be counted as the two Republican U.S. Senate candidates held on to slim leads after being behind the Democrats most of the evening after polls closed.  "Looks like they are setting up a big 'voter dump' against the Republican candidates.  Waiting to see how many votes they need?" President Donald Trump tweeted just before 10:30 p.m.  Another huge moment happened live on TV.  32,400 votes [were] taken from David Perdue live during an ABC News broadcast.

Surely this time there's high-definition surveillance video of everybody in every tabulation center in Georgia, right?

Why I Am Joining The Jan. 6 DC March For Trump.  [Scroll down]  Then came Nov. 4, 2020.  On this day, I suddenly saw with my own eyes the depth and breadth of the corruption myself and others had tried to push against for so many years unsuccessfully.  Since that day, I've seen legislators and judges ignore significant allegations of wrongdoing, strong reasons for doubting the results, and legitimate evidence of election fraud.  I've seen congressmen sit quietly and reservedly about the deep concerns of their constituents, presumably too concerned about their committee seats and donors to even croak out words in defense of a republic that was the only one of its kind.  In just a few short weeks I've seen the results of all the efforts I've ever attempted to uphold my tiny little corner of the world crash into a million pieces.  I can never trust a single elected official again.

What Can Be Done in This Age of Election Fraud?  Whom Can We Count On?  Here's a question: since the U.S. Constitution provides for the legislatures of each respective state to choose their representing electors to the Electoral College, with the U.S. as a constitutional republic, not a democracy...what happens when, internal to the state, that process breaks down?  Whether by state executives violating their own state law to change the conduct of the election to countermand the legislatively approved laws or by those same legislatively approved laws being usurped by judges, the final result is an inaccurate count of the votes cast.  Here's another:  when a state certifies as true and accurate the vote totals known not to be true and accurate but refuses to acknowledge the inaccuracy, who fixes that wrong?

Waving Goodbye to the America We All Knew and Loved.  The worst shortcoming of our government is its failure to maintain election integrity. [...] The 2020 presidential election has brought us even lower on the ladder.  We have more than a thousand sworn affidavits attesting to massive voter fraud:  suspension of signature verification, violation of state election rules, non-verification of mail-in ballots, backdating of ballots, double-voting, dead people voting, hiding ballots under the table, refusal to allow poll-watching, and vote-switching by machine systems.  "People are going on the record under oath and risking being canceled, doxed, and even accosted, to tell what they have seen about this election process," said Rep. Michael Cloud.  "The apparent lack of action from the Justice Department regarding a number of anomalies, statistical improbabilities, and sworn accusations of fraud is troubling."  It may be troubling, but it is consistent with partisan activities of the DOJ, the FBI, and the IRS.  FBI Director James Comey's refusal to indict Hillary Clinton, Obama's weaponization of the IRS against conservative groups, and inaction from the Durham investigation have destroyed the public's confidence in our justice system.

Caught Red-Handed:  Project Veritas Catches On-going Voter Fraud in Georgia.  In an video released by Project Veritas, the reported Executive of Central Outreach and Advocacy Center, an advocacy center for the homeless in Atlanta, was caught on camera admitting that transient voters are allowed to use the center's address as their residence, even though they do not live at the center.  Georgia law requires that a voter be registered at the address where they live.  "So I Can't even begin to tell you how many people have that address (the center's) on their ID," the executive can be heard saying.

Democratic Operatives Invade GA Polling Stations During Elections, Intimidate, Film Voters.  A source within the GA voting operation in Cobb County has provided information that 'authorized bloggers' from the Democratic Party have invaded polling stations and are interfering with voters, invading their privacy, and intimidating voters.  "Poll watcher from NY already here.  Asking questions while we are getting ready for 7am.  She was here on Nov; 2 more expected.  Probably paid by DNC.  "She was sent here by an organization called Georgia Democrats Voter Protection Hotline.  In Nov, this organization placed personnel within 100 ft of the entrance to our polling station.  "Poll watchers are wandering around the voting area at each polling center.  In November they weren't allowed to do this.  It is perceived by voting officials as a problem but it is not being stopped," said the source.

Nationwide Action Alert:  Horns of Jericho — Sound At NOON ET Wednesday.  Many people cannot attend the Washington DC rally to support President Trump.  However, several groups have organized to share an action message that all patriots can take at noon Eastern on Wednesday January 6th. [...] The objective is for people coast to coast, regardless of their location at Noon ET on Wednesday, to blow their car horn in support of President Trump and the rally taking place in Washington DC.  Let the sound of our patriotic message carry with the same intensity as the Horns of Jericho.

Judicial Watch:  Over 4,700 of Georgia's Absentee Votes in November 2020 Election Tied to Non-Residential Addresses.  Judicial Watch announced today [1/5/2021] that Georgia voter data shows over 4,700 absentee voters in the presidential election listed non-residential addresses as their places of residence.  Georgia law requires citizens registering to vote to reside "in that place in which such person's habitation is fixed ..."  Judicial Watch yesterday shared its data with the Georgia Secretary of State and requested an investigation.  In total, 9,989 Georgia voters seem to be registered at non-residential addresses:  1,882 at commercial addresses, 1,336 registered at county and state governmental buildings, and 6,735 at either hotels or motels.  Additionally, 215 new registrations (between November 4 [and] December 14) for today's special election are linked to non-residential addresses.

Having the Election Conform to the Constitution.  Forget the Krakens, Dominion voting machines, harvested, absentee, and mail-in ballots, early voting, and all the other squid ink that's been expelled into the atmosphere since the highly contested presidential election of Nov. 3, 2020.  The only thing that matters this week — indeed, the only thing that has ever mattered — is whether the 50 separate state elections for president of the United States were conducted in accordance with the Constitution and other applicable federal customs and statutes.  That's the point that Sens. Ted Cruz, Ron Johnson, and others are making in their last-ditch effort to at least raise the issue.  They write:  "America is a republic whose leaders are chosen in democratic elections.  Those elections, in turn, must comply with the Constitution and with federal and state law.

Congress Approves Rules Regulating Jan. 6 Electoral Vote Count.  The House of Representatives and the Senate on Jan. 3 adopted rules that outline how the counting of Electoral College votes will take place on Jan. 6.  The rules were passed without recorded votes.  Instead, a voice vote was used in both chambers.  The guidance, introduced by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), says the chambers will meet in a joint session on Jan. 6 presided over by Vice President Mike Pence.  Pence, as president of the Senate, will open "all the certificates and papers purporting to be certificates of the electoral votes," the rules state, a nod to the fact that seven states sent so-called competing electors to Washington, certificates for both Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and President Donald Trump.  The certificates and papers will be opened, presented, and acted upon in alphabetical order, starting with Alabama.

Report: Person Working With Jovan Pulitzer on Voter Fraud Has His House Riddled With Bullets.  As a testament to how violent the left has become, one of the members of Jovan Pulitzer's team is reported to have had his house hit with bullets in a drive-by shooting.  The shots fired through a window of the house was said to be his "daughter's bedroom".  Pulitzer says this incident occurred just after he was granted with inspecting votes in Fulton County Georgia.  Pulitzer says he can examine 500,000 absentee ballots in a couple of hours and can determine which ballots are good and which ones are fake.  Should he be allowed to do this, it would be a devastating blow to Democrats like Gov Kemp and SOS Raffensperger who insist the election was fair.

Expert Testimony by Jovan Hutton Pulitzer at Georgia Ballot Hearing is Devastating.  On 30 December, 2020, Jovan Hutton Pulitzer gave a presentation to the Georgia State Senate Judiciary Subcommittee, on how he and his company can detect many types of election fraud with a simple, easy examination of the physical ballots, by running them through forensic machines designed to detect physical signatures of the ballots.  Pulitzer is a pattern recognition expert holding over 200 patents.  His patents are used on 12 billion handheld devices around the world.  The would not be looking at handwritten signatures.  Those are not on the ballots.  The would be detecting physical signatures of folding, printing, marking and codes that exist on the paper used for the ballot.  Every physical process done to a ballot leaves marks.  Those minuscule marks, often invisible to the human eye, are the physical signatures Mr. Pulitzer is talking about.  This physical forensic audit of the paper ballots completely circumvents the election software.

I'm Not Unifying.  One need not believe in either unicorns or krakens to understand that what happened in November 2020 was a mammoth scam and disgrace, and our naïve Constitution, with courts demanding standing and a presumption of regularity and all that old-fashioned stuff, was unable to deal with the outright, blatant steal.  The establishment leveraged the way we designed our system, assuming the good faith of both sides, into a cheat that will cause untold damage to our country.  Now the cabal may wish to put behind us the whole unpleasantness about destroying all the norms in order to barely thieve back what the voters took from them as recompense in 2016, but that's not happening.

Over 432,000 Votes Removed From Trump in Pennsylvania, Data Scientists Say.  Pennsylvania election data shows that over 432,000 votes were removed from President Donald Trump during the November election, data scientists say.  According to an analysis by the Data Integrity Group, obtained exclusively by The Epoch Times, votes for Trump — from both Election Day and mail-in ballots — were removed from the totals in at least 15 counties.  Time-series election data shows Trump's votes decrementing in various counties at numerous time points instead of increasing as would be expected under normal circumstances.  The group said that Election Day vote removals happened during the vote tabulation process in at least 15 counties, including Lehigh County, Chester County, Allegheny County, Armstrong County, Westmoreland County, Northampton County, Delaware County, Montgomery County, Lackawanna County, Dauphin County, Pike County, Carbon County, Washington County, Erie County, and Luzerne County.

Why An Electoral College Challenge Is Imperative.  Predictably, after Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and ten GOP Senators announced their intention to reject electors "not lawfully certified" but nonetheless included in the Electoral College results, many Democrats accused them of "sedition."  In reality, these Senators and their House counterparts are duty bound to object.  The cowardice of Republican legislatures in disputed states, dereliction of duty by the courts and the dishonesty of the "news" media has forced them to take action.  Congress has the final word on who won the presidential election when they convene Wednesday to certify the Electoral College results.  That certification vote is the last opportunity for our elected representatives to resolve allegations of illegal election activity in November.

Cruz-led group to object to certification of election results in at least one state, push electoral commission.  The group of Senate Republicans led by Ted Cruz will object to the certification of presidential election results in at least one state on Jan. 6, with a source telling Fox News that it is not a question of "if" the senators will object, but one of "which" states, and "how many."  "It's not a question of if objections to disputed states' electors will be raised, it's a question of which and how many," the source told Fox News Monday [1/4/2021].  "The group is committed to pushing the electoral commission here to get the facts," the source said.  Another GOP aide told Fox News that the group led by Cruz continued to discuss their plans on a call this evening, but no decisions have yet been made.

Georgia State Senators Call on Pence to Delay Jan. 6 Electoral Vote.  Republican state senators in Georgia started a push on Monday [1/4/2021] to delay the Jan. 6 counting of electoral votes.  At least a dozen have signed a letter directed to Vice President Mike Pence asking him to officially delay the count — and the number is still growing.  "There's about 16 or 18 of us now that signed this letter to the Vice President ... asking him to delay the electoral vote for 10 to 12 days," Sen. Brandon Beach told The Epoch Times.  "We were going to get it to him tomorrow morning," Beach said, adding that more Senators might still sign on.  Beach says that he is concerned about the integrity of the election. [...] Ballots and voting machines need to be forensically audited, especially in Fulton county, said Beach.  The biggest concerns he has relate to the State Farm Arena's vote-tabulation center in Atlanta.  It appears that a state election monitor was absent for a part of the counting process and that Republican poll watchers were led to believe the counting was over when it in fact wasn't.

Folks, I'm going to tell you a bit more about what is happening.  [Thread reader]  Every county at a minimum needs their own ballot designed.  There are positions that are specific to the county, propositions and bills and bonds and such as well.  So there is an ecosystem of firms who do that design & print work for the counties.  Now imagine that a print shop printing ballots for a county in Pennsylvania, say, prints 10,000 pallets and delivers them to that county in Pennsylvania.  The ballots reflect choices for county level seats, but at the top also the presidential election.  Imagine that besides Those ballots, that print shop prints 2000 extra ballots.  And shipped them to a "boiler room" somewhere, where a small army of highly committed people Filled them out taking time just to give the vote for president to Biden.  Then those votes are put in trays and put on the truck and shipped across state lines into Pennsylvania, to the county in question, and injected into the Postal Service there.  It would be ballot-stuffing on an industrial scale.  Now imagine that in that boiler room some people acted so as to reserve copies of those ballots and which they had worked.  When one tested them forensically, what would one find?

A Simple Test for the Extent of Vote Fraud with Absentee Ballots in the 2020 Presidential Election:  Georgia and Pennsylvania Data.  This study provides measures of vote fraud in the 2020 presidential election.  It first compares Fulton county's precincts that are adjacent to similar precincts in neighboring counties that had no allegations of fraud to isolate the impact of Fulton county's vote-counting process (including potential fraud).  In measuring the difference in President Trump's vote share of the absentee ballots for these adjacent precincts, we account for the difference in his vote share of the in-person voting and the difference in registered voters' demographics.  The best estimate shows an unusual 7.81% drop in Trump's percentage of the absentee ballots for Fulton County alone of 11,350 votes, or over 80% of Biden's vote lead in Georgia.  The same approach is applied to Allegheny County in Pennsylvania for both absentee and provisional ballots.  The estimated number of fraudulent votes from those two sources is about 55,270 votes.  Second, vote fraud can increase voter turnout rate.  Increased fraud can take many forms:  higher rates of filling out absentee ballots for people who hadn't voted, dead people voting, ineligible people voting, or even payments to legally registered people for their votes.  However, the increase might not be as large as the fraud if votes for opposing candidates are either lost, destroyed, or replaced with ballots filled out for the other candidate.  The estimates here indicate that there were 70,000 to 79,000 "excess" votes in Georgia and Pennsylvania.  Adding Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin, the total increases to up to 289,000 excess votes.

What Could and Should Happen January 6th.  The news is changing by the hour regarding the events of Jan. 6, when the presidential electoral votes are officially opened and counted in Washington, D.C.  Considering the pending lawsuits, the conflicting historical precedents, the ambiguity of the relevant Constitutional provisions, and the 1887 Electoral Count Act being the worst written statute in the history of mankind; I'm not sure anyone on the planet can predict what will happen on Jan. 6.  But here are the most likely options that could develop.  Option one, only a few Republicans have the courage to fight for the Constitution and object to the lawlessness.  Their objections are ignored and it's business as usual in D.C. as the media declared results are rubber stamped by Congress and half the country is left with very little faith that we are still a constitutional republic.  This scenario would award Biden the win.  But with 140 Republican Representatives, and now several Republican Senators, announcing they will contest the results this scenario seems relatively unlikely.

Far From Raising a White Flag, Pence's Response to Gohmert's Suit Was Strategic and Preserved His Options.  Although the Department of Justice (DOJ) did file a short responsive brief on behalf of Vice President Mike Pence, who is the sole defendant named in the lawsuit recently filed by Texas Rep. Louis Gohmert and the Arizona Trump-pledged electors in a Texas federal court, the brief, in the main, argues that Pence isn't the proper defendant, but doesn't oppose, on the merits, the constitutional arguments advanced in the suit.  As I wrote on these pages on Dec. 31, the Gohmert suit challenges the Electoral Count Act of 1887 (ECA) because it unconstitutionally varies the dispute resolution procedure set forth in the 12th Amendment, which applies when Congress is faced, as it now is, with dueling presidential electors.  Under the 12th Amendment, when neither candidate reaches the requisite majority of electoral votes (today 270) because, for example, the votes from states that sent dueling electors aren't "counted" by the vice president, in his capacity as president of the Senate, at the joint session of Congress (this year, on Jan. 6), the race is decided by a "contingent election" held in the House of Representatives, with each state getting only one vote.

President Trump Joins Call Urging State Legislators to Review Evidence and Consider Decertifying 'Unlawful' Election Results.  President Trump spoke to 300 state legislators from the battleground states of Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Georgia on Saturday [1/1/2021] in a Zoom conference call hosted by Got Freedom? in which the 501(c)(4) non-profit election integrity watchdog group urged those lawmakers to review evidence that the election process in their states was unlawful and consider decertifying the results of the November 3 presidential election.  President Trump addressed the call for 15 minutes at the invitation of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who now serves as the president's personal attorney, and was one of the featured speakers on the call.

David Perdue urges GOP colleagues to object to Biden's victory over Trump.  Sen. David Perdue said he encourages his GOP colleagues to object to President-elect Joe Biden's victory in Congress's joint session on Wednesday [1/6/2021].  Perdue told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday he had already agreed to object but won't be certified as a sitting senator until the results for the Georgia runoff elections are completed on Tuesday, pending his victory.  "I agreed that I would do that," Perdue said, referring to the objection of Biden's victory.  "The technical problem is that I won't be certified until this election is certified, some week to 10 days after the election, when we win on Tuesday, but I'm encouraging my colleagues to object.  This is something that the American people demand right now."

Fulton County Georgia Ballot Inspection Hearing Subverted — Georgia Stalling to Prevent Forensic Review of Suspected Fraudulent Absentee Ballots.  Corrupt politicians in Georgia are doing all they can to prevent the forensic analysis of absentee ballots in the state.  Moments ago, Heather Mullins from Real America's Voice reported that the hearing set for today to determine if ballots from the November 3rd election could be forensically inspected, as supported by the Georgia Senate vote, was cancelled and the case was to be transferred to another county:  [Tweet]  A few minutes after the above memo went out, Mullins reports that the hearing was derailed in an attempt to send the case to another county.  However, an objection was filed.  The problem is the ballots will not be reviewed today as a result:  [Tweet]  It is believed that the attempt to move the case was because Fulton County does not have all the ballots to inspect.  Once inspected, thousands of fraudulent ballots are expected to be uncovered.

Media Freakout Over Leaked Trump Call With Georgia's Raffensperger.  The latest Trump freakout comes courtesy of the Washington Post, who mysteriously received a copy of a recorded call between Brad Raffensperger, the Georgia secretary of state, and President Trump.  [Link to the transcript of the call]  Nothing in the call is surprising, especially if you are familiar with the things Trump has been saying since the election and if you recognize that Trump tends to speak in a clumsy, casual manner.  The WaPo selects some pieces of Trump's dialogue to make it seem like he is asking Raffensperger to create votes and manufacture a Trump victory in Georgia.  To pretend there were not serious irregularities with the voting in Georgia at this point in the game is just willful ignorance.  According to data scientists testifying before the Georgia Senate Judiciary Subcommittee less than a week ago, "election data indicates that more than 30,000 votes were removed from President Donald Trump and another 12,173 votes were switched to Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden."

Trump slams Sen. Cotton for saying he won't object electoral vote certification.  A day after Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) said that he would not object to the upcoming certification of the states' electoral college votes, President Donald Trump on Monday [1/4/2020] set his sights on the potential 2024 presidential candidate for refusing to join 11 current and incoming senators in challenging President-elect Joe Biden's 2020 election win.  "How can you certify an election when the numbers being certified are verifiably WRONG," the president tweeted Monday morning.

Trump To Present 'Real Election Numbers' During Monday Night Speech.  President Trump is speaking from Dalton Regional Airport in Georgia ahead of tomorrow's special runoff election, a race that will decide the fate of who controls the United States Senate.  Earlier in the day, Trump teased what he called "the real numbers" from the November general election, after he called the state's official tally "verifiably WRONG." [...] Later Monday morning, Trump attacked the "Surrender Caucus" of Republicans who want to accept the results of the election and move on with life under a Biden administration.

Cruz Pushes Back Against Critics Calling for His Arrest Over Election Audit.  Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on Sunday [1/3/2021] responded to criticism over his plan to challenge the electoral college results on Jan. 6 unless an emergency 10-day audit to assess election fraud allegations takes place.  Cruz and 10 other senators announced their intention to challenge Electoral College votes from contested states over concerns that the 2020 election "featured unprecedented allegations of voter fraud, violations, and lax enforcement of election law, and other voting irregularities."  The senator from the Lone Star State said in a recent interview that after the senators made the announcement, Democrats began urging that Cruz "should be arrested and tried for the crimes of sedition and treason."  "Well, listen, I think everyone needs to calm down.  I think we need to tone down the rhetoric," Cruz told Fox News' Maria Bartiromo.  "This is already a volatile situation.  It's like a tinderbox and throwing lit matches into it."

We Were Laughed Out of Court because the Courts Have Become Ridiculous.  [Scroll down]  Many of the cases brought to courts were referring to infractions against election law, such as deadlines for receipt of mail or the definition of indefinite confinement.  But they seemed to beat around the bush.  When the mail arrived is not the point; the point is that the mail-in ballots that got counted included a bunch of fakes.  Somebody got into the computers or tampered physically with the ballots, throwing out real ballots and/or stuffing the counts with fake ones, in order to generate tabulations that did not reflect reality.

Gingrich: Zuckerberg 'Corruption' Raises 'Enormous Questions About the Legitimacy of the Biden Potential Presidency'.  Sunday [1/3/2021] on New York WABC 770 AM radio's "The Cats Roundtable," former House Speaker Newt Gingrich called into question the "legitimacy" of the Joe Biden presidency.  According to Gingrich, the 2020 presidential election "was the most corrupt election in modern times."  He argued that efforts by Facebook and its CEO Mark Zuckerberg to "maximize Democratic turnout" in the election "raises enormous questions about the legitimacy of the Biden potential presidency" because it is "a direct violation" of the 2002 Help America Vote Act.  "I think the Democrats focused on the election where Republicans focused on the campaign.  The Democrats didn't care if Biden never campaigned.  They were going to generate votes and turn out votes," Gingrich told host John Catsimatidis.  "And when you go around and look state by state, the results are fascinating, and I think they raise real questions about exactly what happened.  I personally believe this was the most corrupt election in modern times."

New Video Shows Dominion's Eric Coomer Admitting Their Voting Machine Systems Are Wireless and Support All Networks.  Dr. Eric Coomer who is responsible for the strategy and Security at Dominion Voting Systems.  Coomer is a staunch Never-Trumper and Antifa supporter.  His Facebook page was littered with Trump-hating propaganda before it was shut down.  In 2016 Coomer told the Illinois States Board of Elections that it was possible to bypass election systems software.  And in 2017 Eric Coomer explained how to alter votes in the Dominion Voting Systems in a demonstration to Chicago officials.  This was a separate demonstration in the Chicago area.  [Video clip]

Tim Scott: Georgia Runoffs Are 'More Consequential' Politically 'Than Anything We've Ever Seen In Our Lifetime'.  Republican South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott told Fox News' "Watters' World" Saturday night that the Georgia U.S. Senate runoff elections are "more consequential" politically "than anything we've ever seen in our lifetimes."  Republican Georgia Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler face off against Democratic challengers Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock in the Tuesday runoff that will decide which party controls the U.S. Senate.  With a 50-48 majority to this point, Republicans must win one of two seats to keep their slim margin.  Scott discussed the ramifications of a potential loss with guest host Dan Bongino.  "This is every single thing we fought for the last four years," Scott said.  "President Trump standing in the fire himself.  That is what's up for grabs this time.  We could literally lose it all if we don't show up on Tuesday."

The Real Threat to Democracy Is Coming From the Left.  Our entire system of government turns on citizens constantly questioning the actions of government officials, which is exactly what we at The Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society have been doing, alongside many other patriotic citizens who share our concerns about the integrity of our elections.  According to a recent poll, less than half the country is confident that government officials ran the 2020 presidential elections freely and fairly.  The only way to restore confidence in our republic is through public litigation — open hearings presided over by competent judges who can then either ensure that the election was fair or verify that irregularities and illegal activities corrupted the results.  If something went wrong with the last election, we need to fix it before the next one.  If there was nothing seriously amiss, then the people need to see that for themselves.

Biden's Wet Squib.  [Scroll down]  Voters have good reason to believe that the numerous incidents of malfeasance found in Georgia were repeated elsewhere.  Gateway Pundit summarizes the problems, noting three states alone that counted one million illegitimate votes for Biden:  Wisconsin, Georgia, and Pennsylvania.  The Wisconsin Supreme Court held that more than 200,000 ballots cast (estimated to be heavily for Biden) in the 2020 election were illegitimate.  In Georgia 460,000 absentee ballots, most of which went to Biden, were counted with no compliance with the chain of custody requirements of Georgia law.  In Pennsylvania there still is a case pending before the Supreme Court.  There the state allowed "hundreds of thousands of ballots to be counted even though they were not turned in until after 8 p.m. on election day as state law mandates."  Regardless of the outcomes in other disputed states, decertifying and refusing to count the votes in these three states alone would hand the election to President Trump.

The 2020 Insurrection.  Can we now stop calling this an election?  By pretending this insurrection is a legitimate democratic process, we're playing into our enemy's hands, giving credence to the lie that a decrepit, corrupt, sickly old man, Joe Biden, has been elected president of the United States.  This is not an election; it's a coup.  A coup d'état is any "sudden and decisive action in politics, esp. one resulting in a change of government illegally or by force."  Note that the definition says "illegally or by force," thus equating a rigged election with a military invasion.  But election fraud is the weapon of choice for these enemies.  They concentrated their efforts on one objective:  capture and occupy the White House.  Every phase of this operation was mapped out well in advance of this election.  Governors-turned-tyrant imposed lockdowns to keep people from the polls.  The panic press scared people into staying home as much as possible.  This virus hysteria was used as a pretext to send out millions of mail-in ballots to everyone, dead or alive, legal or illegal, real or imaginary.

An Insider's View of Pennsylvania and the Battle for Our Republic.  On December 28, 2020, a group of state lawmakers, having performed an extensive analysis of election data, revealed troubling discrepancies between the numbers of total votes counted and total number of voters who voted in the 2020 general election. [...] A comparison of official county election results to the total number of voters who voted on November 3, 2020, as recorded by the Department of State (DoS), shows that 6,962,607 total ballots were reported as being cast, while the DoS's Statewide Uniform Registry of Electors (SURE) system records indicate that just 6,760,230 total voters actually voted.  Among the 6,962,607 total ballots cast, 6,931,060 total votes were counted in the presidential race, including all three candidates on the ballot and write-in candidates.  The difference of 202,377 more votes cast than voters voting, together with the 31,547 over- and under-votes in the presidential race, adds up to an alarming discrepancy of 170,830 votes, which is more than twice the reported statewide difference between the two major candidates for president of the United States.

Congress and election fraud.  Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy, and there is mounting evidence this election was neither free nor fair.  No one is trying to overturn a valid election.  If a massive fraud occurred, we are trying to prevent the actual loser from being sworn in as president.  The most dangerous thing for our democracy would be to do absolutely nothing in the face of the evidence presented to date.  If Biden was fraudulently elected, the American people will find out. [...] American citizens/patriots (not anyone in the justice system) have already discovered:
  [#1]    The Hunter Biden emails implicating the Bidens as a criminal enterprise.
  [#2]    Video recordings of the after-hours ballot-counting in Georgia.
  [#3]    Dead people voting.
  [#4]    Non-residents voting.
  [#5]    People voting more than once.
  [#6]    Voters registered with addresses that are actually vacant lots.
  [#7]    Voters registered with addresses that are actually commercial buildings.
  [#8]    Voters registered with addresses that are actually casinos.
  [#9]    Recounts that could not reproduce the election night totals, and local officials forced to certify election results from Nov 3.
  [#10]   Multiple absentee ballots per voter delivered to the same address.
  [#11]   People showing up to vote and told they had to vote with a provisional ballot because someone had already voted in their name.
  [#12]   Midnight ballot drops in multiple cities.
  [#13]   Voting machine that changed Trump votes to Biden.
  [#14]   Voting machines connected to the internet during the election.
  [#15]   More votes than people in certain areas.
  [#16]   Statistical models are showing improbable numbers of people voted in many jurisdictions.
And the list goes on...  If there was ballot fraud, what will happen when America's citizens determine the truth and the lies?

Blackburn on Senate Republican Electoral College Challenge: 'We Should Get Answers to This'.  Saturday [1/2/2021], during an appearance on Fox News Channel's "America's News HQ," Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) discussed her decision to participate in an effort to object to the election results from certain states. [...] She explained to FNC host Gillian Turner that they were working toward resolving outstanding questions about the integrity of the 2020 presidential election between Donald Trump and Joe Biden.

Peter Navarro to release full election report 'The Art of the Steal' on Monday.  Here's what he alleges.  Led by President Donald Trump's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, a six-person team of experts and Trump administration officials held a virtual conference Saturday evening to brief hundreds of battleground state legislators about the election irregularities and fraud they've uncovered.  "We did a Zoom meeting with hundreds of state legislatures across the battleground, Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin," administration official Peter Navarro revealed Saturday on Fox News' "Justice with Judge Jeanine."  Navarro added, "These legislators are hot, they are angry, they want action.  Giuliani was there.  We gave them the receipts.  We explained how the Democrat Party, as a matter of strategy, stole this election from Donald J. Trump."  [Video clip]

Trump: Georgia Secretary of State 'Unable' to Answer 'Ballots Under Table' Questions; Raffensperger Says It's 'Not True'.  President Donald Trump said that Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger was unable to answer questions about boxes of ballots being wheeled out from under a table after Republican poll workers were told by Fulton County officials that vote-counting was done for the night on Nov. 3.  "I spoke to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger yesterday about Fulton County and voter fraud in Georgia," Trump wrote Sunday morning [1/3/2021] on Twitter.  The president said Raffensperger "was unwilling, or unable, to answer questions such as the 'ballots under table' scam, ballot destruction, out of state 'voters,' dead voters, and more.  He has no clue!"

January 6, 2021: The Day of the Electoral Epiphany.  [T]he evidence of massive and unprecedented electoral fraud that may well cost Trump the election is undeniable:  preventing inspectors from observing the vote count, accepting illegal mail-in ballots and invalid (without dates) absentee ballots, random assignment of ballots, vote dumping, ballot box stuffing, votes exceeding the number of estimated voters, registering 120-year-old voters, transference of votes from Trump to Biden in battleground states, suitcases filled with ballots dragged out from beneath a covered table after mandated poll observers were told to leave, thousands of affidavits attesting to illegitimate activities, election rules drastically changed, hackable and manipulated voting machines and practices, and so on.  The documentation is everywhere.  Pennsylvania election numbers don't add up, outcome-determinative fraud occurred in Georgia, Republican ballots were misprinted in several swing states.  The fraud, which is, in effect, an integral part of a premediated coup d'état and "the biggest political scandal in U.S. history," cannot be doubted or dismissed except by committed partisans of the Democratic Party, #NeverTrumpers, insurrectionary cadres like Antifa and BLM, useful idiots, and data-censoring corporate magnates frustrated by an honest broker in the Oval Office.

One Take on How President Trump is Rightfully Reelected President Come January 6th.  Jason D. Meister, Advisory Board Member of Donald J. Trump for President, Inc, tweeted a couple days ago one possibility for how President Trump remains President of the United States for the next four years.  This information was republished at The Palmieri Report and the tweets were apparently from an Epoch Times article. [...] As we've reported previously there are 79 electoral college votes that are in dispute during this election cycle.  Six states with issues have dueling sets of votes — one by the state executive branch and one by the state legislature.  (Note that this 79 votes mentioned by Meister does not count the 5 New Mexico votes which also have a dueling set of votes which would make the total 84.)  Regardless, when subtracting these states from the total counts, President Trump is ahead.

Gohmert on Dismissal of Pence Lawsuit:  Courts Leaving Americans No Choice But to Take to the Streets.  Rep. Louie Gohmert blasted federal courts including the Supreme Court for punting on every election-related case brought before them before and after the Nov. 3 elections, including one he filed last week.  Gohmert's suit challenged the constitutionality of the Electoral Count Act of 1887, which specifies how electoral ballots are supposed to be tallied.  According to the suit, the law is unconstitutional because the 12th Amendment lays out the procedure and, specifically, does not say that the president of the Senate — who is the sitting vice president — has to choose specific sets of electors when there are competing sets, as there are this year.

Ted Cruz, Other GOP Senators Sign Letter Announcing Intent To Vote Against Electors From Disputed States Until Election Audit Is Conducted.  Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and 10 other GOP senators have signed a letter announcing they will vote "to reject the electors from disputed states as not 'regularly given' and 'lawfully certified'" until a 10-day emergency audit can be conducted in those states.  "We do not take this action lightly.  We are acting not to thwart the democratic process, but rather to protect it," Cruz wrote in the letter, which was released Saturday [1/2/2021].  The letter states that the 2020 election "featured unprecedented allegations of voter fraud, violations and lax enforcement of election law, and other voting irregularities," which exceed previous elections and must be investigated fully.  Cruz and the other Republicans took aim at the Supreme Court, which now contains three justices nominated by President Donald Trump — for not taking up allegations of voter fraud from the November election.

More than 400 Ex-intelligence Officers to Investigate Election Irregularities.  Over 400 people from the Intelligence Community (IC), military, law enforcement, and the judiciary have formed a loose network to investigate irregularities in the 2020 election, an organizer of this network said.  Robert Caron, one of the organizers of this network, began his intelligence career with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). He later worked for the Special Situation Group, a task force established by President George H.W. Bush that includes strategic planning, technologies, and foreign and domestic investigations.  He told The Epoch Times that he was recruited to the network in 2014, during which time many in the intelligence community (IC) were seeing an increase in improper operations.  Many IC officers were withholding information from their leaders, and their leaders were withholding information from the public.  Caron mentioned that in 2014, Lt. General Michael Flynn called out then-President Barack Obama for "not acting properly on intelligence."

Biggest Horse-Race Fixer of All Time Says Democrats Stole Election.  Here's How.  [Scroll down]  Back in the day, Richie may have been the greatest and most prolific horse-race fixer in history.  He fixed over 1,000 horse races in 11 years at every racetrack in California, bribing over 100 jockeys.  Eventually, he was convicted and served time in prison.  That was 25 years ago.  Today, Richie is one of the good guys and a respected member of his community, as well as a noted philanthropist.  But Richie still has his street smarts — something no one in Washington, D.C., has.  For over 50 years, he witnessed the smartest and sharpest scammers and cheaters in the gambling world.  No one can spot a scam like Richie.  My buddy has a Ph.D. in the Art of the Steal.  Richie watched and studied the 2020 presidential election.  He calls it "the greatest scam and steal in world history."  He says anyone who denies this election was stolen is a criminal who was in on the scam; a bribed politician or bureaucrat who benefits from the scam; or a complete naive moron.

The Cheat In Plain Sight.  Justin Mealey, is a former electronic warfare specialist for the U.S. Navy and the CIA.  David Lobue is a data scientist whose skills have been in demand across a wide variety of industries.  This past week the two appeared before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on elections for the State of Georgia.  Georgia is a state where Biden supposedly "won" by 12,000 votes.  Yet in their simple — easy to understand — no conspiracy theories needed (though they might exist and explain some things) explanation — these data scientists proved inaccuracy in the certified results large enough to immediately cancel the "certification" and award the state to President Trump. [...] It's all based on one simple idea.  In Georgia's tabulation process, President Trump repeatedly "lost votes."  Had them subtracted.  Had them taken away.  Two observations for the uninitiated.  [#1] Elections don't work that way.  [#2] The phenomenon did not occur for Biden.  In these three counties they document eight instances where Trump's votes simply evaporated.  They also document that in one instance alone the votes are added to Biden's total.  Oddly enough that "flip" alone is enough for Biden's margin to be nullified.

Cruz to lead group of GOP senators in challenge to Electoral College certification.  Sen. Ted Cruz is leading a delegation of Republican senators who are planning to challenge the Electoral College certification and demand an emergency audit.  Cruz is joined by several other GOP lawmakers who said in a statement that "voter fraud has posed a persistent challenge in our elections, although its breadth and scope are disputed."  "By any measure, the allegations of fraud and irregularities in the 2020 election exceed any in our lifetimes," they added.  The senators joining the Texas Republican in objecting are Ron Johnson of Missouri, James Lankford of Oklahoma, Steve Daines of Montana, John Kennedy of Louisiana, Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, and Mike Braun of Indiana.  Senators-elect Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Roger Marshall of Kansas, Bill Hagerty of Tennessee, and Tommy Tuberville of Alabama also signed onto the statement.

11 More GOP Senators to Object to Electoral College Votes.  A group of 11 senators on Saturday [1/2/2021] announced they're going to challenge electoral votes during the Jan. 6 joint session of Congress.  "America is a Republic whose leaders are chosen in democratic elections.  Those elections, in turn, must comply with the Constitution and with federal and state law," the group wrote in a joint statement.  "When the voters fairly decide an election, pursuant to the rule of law, the losing candidate should acknowledge and respect the legitimacy of that election.  And, if the voters choose to elect a new office-holder, our Nation should have a peaceful transfer of power.  The election of 2020, like the election of 2016, was hard fought and, in many swing states, narrowly decided.  The 2020 election, however, featured unprecedented allegations of voter fraud, violations, and lax enforcement of election law, and other voting irregularities."  The allegations of fraud and irregularities in the 2020 election "exceed any in our lifetime," the group added, noting courts, including the Supreme Court, have repeatedly declined to hear evidence of alleged fraud.

Who Will Be Inaugurated?  Just because the theaters are closed doesn't mean that we lack for drama. [...] On Saturday, a group of 11 Republican Senators — including Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), James Lankford (R-Okla.), Steve Daines (R-Mont.), John Kennedy (R-La.), Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), and Mike Braun (R-Ind.) — joined Josh Hawley of Missouri in declaring they will vote against the electors on offer in several disputed states at the joint session of Congress on January 6.  At last count, at least 140 GOP representatives plan to vote against the slate of Democratic electors in those states as well.  In my view, this is as it should be, and not just because Republicans are now giving Democrats a taste of their own medicine.

What comes next in these 'interesting times'?  [Scroll down]  If Pence disallows E.C. votes from the disputed states, Democrats and their media allies will scream that he has bought into "discredited" claims of fraud.  Republicans will properly point out that while state legislatures have held multiple hearings with evidence of rampant fraud, the lamestream media haven't reported on it.  They will also note that no court has held an evidentiary hearing on fraud.  What will happen?  Your guess is as good as mine.  None of us would have predicted what has happened already.

Legal analysis published in October finds today's scenario favors Trump victory.  You may have heard that a growing list of Republican members of the House and Senate have pledged to object to the electoral count of some states during Wednesday's joint session of Congress.  Most analysts have said such objections, in practical terms, amount to nothing because while they can trigger debates lasting up to two hours, it would take a majority in both the House and Senate to reject the state results naming Joe Biden the next president of the United States.  There are other less discussed and, some insist, less likely scenarios.  Some of them are examined in a legal analysis by John Yoo and Robert Delahunty.  Published in October, about two weeks before the presidential election, it plays out multiple scenarios including under circumstances like the ones we face today.

24 Louisiana State Reps Urge GOP Congressional Delegation to Reject Biden-Harris Electors.  Twenty-four Louisiana House Republicans are calling on the state's Republican congressional delegation to reject the electors for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and Democratic vice presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) for six swing states on Jan. 6, "due to fraud in the presidential election."  Lawmakers will gather on Jan. 6 for a joint session of Congress to formally certify states' electoral votes for the president of the United States.  The 24 Louisiana House Republicans told Republican members of Louisiana's congressional delegation in a letter why they believed that Biden-Harris electors from six states — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — were chosen in violation of the U.S. Constitution and the states' respective laws.

President Trump Joins Call Urging State Legislators to Review Evidence and Consider Decertifying 'Unlawful' Election Results.  President Trump spoke to 300 state legislators from the battleground states of Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Georgia on Saturday [1/2/2021] in a Zoom conference call hosted by Got Freedom? in which the 501(c)(4) non-profit election integrity watchdog group urged those lawmakers to review evidence that the election process in their states was unlawful and consider decertifying the results of the November 3 presidential election.  President Trump addressed the call for 15 minutes at the invitation of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who now serves as the president's personal attorney, and was one of the featured speakers on the call.

GOP senators, led by Cruz, to object to Electoral College certification, demand emergency audit.  A group of GOP senators led by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, will object to the Jan. 6 certification of the presidential election results next week unless there is an emergency 10-day audit of the results by an electoral commission.  Cruz and the other senators claim the Nov. 3 election "featured unprecedented allegations of voter fraud and illegal conduct." [...] Their effort is separate from one announced by Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., who said this week that he will object to what he claims was the failure of some states — most notably Pennsylvania — to follow their own election laws.

Break:  Cruz, GOP Senators will reject Disputed States Results, Call For 'Electoral Commission' To Investigate Irregularities.  Senator Ted Cruz is expected to lead a delegation of Republican senators who plan on objecting to certifying an Electoral College victory for Joe Biden and calling for an Electoral Commission to oversee the disputed states.  The Texas Senator is joined by several of his Republican colleagues who noted in a statement that "voter fraud has posed a persistent challenge in our elections, although its breadth and scope are disputed."  The move appears to be taking a leaf of out of the left's playbook.  The notion of an electoral commission for the election was first mooted by the far-left Transition Integrity Project as reported upon by The National Pulse earlier this year.

GOP Senators Including Cruz, Blackburn to 'Reject the Electors from Disputed States' January 6.  GOP senators, including Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Steve Daines (R-MT), John Kennedy (R-LA), and Mike Braun (R-IN), are joining Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) in objecting to electoral college votes on January 6, they announced on Saturday in a joint statement alongside four senators-elect.  The senators and incoming lawmakers — including Sens.-elect Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Roger Marshall (R-KS), Bill Hagerty (R-TN), and Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) — released a joint statement on Saturday, expressing their intent to "reject the electors from disputed states" on January 6, explaining that the 2020 presidential election featured "unprecedented allegations of voter fraud, violations and lax enforcement of election law, and other voting irregularities."

Pence says he 'welcomes' bid by 12 Republicans who will object to certifying Biden's win.  Vice President Mike Pence has said he will support the bid by a dozen Republican Senators to overturn Joe Biden's election win in Congress next week.  Marc Short, Pence's chief of staff, issued a statement Saturday saying the VP 'shares the concerns of millions of Americans about voter fraud and irregularities in the last election.'  '(Pence) welcomes the efforts of members of the House and Senate to use the authority they have under the law to raise objections and bring forward evidence before the Congress and the American people on Jan. 6th', the statement continued.  Pence gave the plot his backing just hours after Ted Cruz said he would be among the 12 GOP Senators trying to block the certification.

The Editor says...
The theft of the election was the result of a plot, but challenging a fraudulent election is not a plot.

Pence Welcomes Efforts by Lawmakers to Object to Electoral College Votes on Jan. 6: Report.  Vice President Mike Pence said he welcomes efforts by lawmakers to challenge Electoral College results in the upcoming congressional joint session on Jan. 6, when the votes are formally counted, according to a new statement.  Vice President Chief of Staff Marc Short issued the statement to reporters on Saturday saying that Pence, who will be presiding over the Jan. 6 session as president of the senate, is open to considering planned objections by Republican House members and senators to Electoral College votes cast for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.  Short added that the vice president also welcomes efforts by lawmakers to present evidence of election irregularities and voter fraud before Congress during that session.  "Vice President Pence shares the concerns of millions of Americans about voter fraud and irregularities in the last election," Short said in the statement sent to media outlets.

Georgia Election Data Shows 17,650 Votes Switched From Trump to Biden:  Data Scientists.  Georgia election data indicates 17,650 votes were switched from President Donald Trump to Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, data scientists testified on Wednesday during a state Senate hearing.  A team led by Lynda McLaughlin, along with data scientists Justin Mealey and Dave Lobue, presented the results before the Georgia Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Elections.  Mealey worked as an electronic warfare technician in the U.S. Navy for nine and a half years and was a former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) contractor as a data analyst and programmer for the National Counterterrorism Center.  He currently works for one of the "Big Four" accounting firms as a programmer.  Lobue is a data scientist with over a decade of experience in a number of industries.

Claim: "Stunning Turn of Events in PA May Lead to Trump Victory".  According to many sources, including now some Pennsylvania lawmakers, the state's election results are off by upwards of 200,000 votes — more than enough to flip the commonwealth to President Trump.  The claim in question is not, as a common misunderstanding goes, that "there were more votes than registered voters in Penn."  Rather, it is that there were more votes than voters in the November contest.  Now the state GOP is wondering "how the results of the presidential election could possibly have been certified by Secretary of the Commonwealth Kathy Boockvar and Governor Tom Wolf," as State Representative Russ Diamond puts it:  [Tweet] [...] Very few people are willing to take bold, revolutionary action requiring self-sacrifice, and judges and officials know that righting the November 3 wrong would make them heroes to many, but pariahs to the rank-and-file rabble and pseudo-elites.  They know about cancel culture.  They know that such action could mean harassment, their children's imperilment, death threats, and needing to acquire armed protection.  Moreover, it's scary, downright daunting psychologically, peering into that dark closet and beholding the ravenous creature of corruption within.

The strange story of Georgia's pallets of ballots.  In the aftermath of the election, the Democrats who control the election machinery in the disputed states have gone out of their way to avoid scrutiny.  Americans have been inundated with stories of shredded mail-in envelopes, lost thumb drives, wiped computers, and slow-walked requests for documents that states are required to preserve for post-election reviews.  No state, however, has acted with such heavy-handed desperation as Georgia when it comes to hiding ballots.  We've already reported here twice about the Georgia ballots, but the story keeps developing and there's always more to tell.

'Massive Amounts of Evidence Will Be Presented' on Jan. 6: Trump.  President Donald Trump announced that evidence of alleged election fraud will be presented on Jan. 6 during the Joint Session of Congress.  "Massive amounts of evidence will be presented on the 6th.  We won, BIG!" Trump wrote on Twitter.  It comes as Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) and about 40 House GOP lawmakers have announced they would challenge the Electoral College votes during the Jan. 6 Joint Session of Congress due to alleged fraud and irregularities during the Nov. 3 election.  The challenge could lead to several hours of debate during the session.  The challenge is supported by Trump, who, in recent weeks, has met with House lawmakers, including its chief sponsor Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), at the White House.

Pallets of Fake Ballots in Georgia's Fulton County Were Identified, Filmed and Sampled Before Moving Trucks Picked Them Up and Shredded Them.  The counterfeit Fulton County Georgia ballots recorded in the 2020 election were identified before the corrupt gang of Georgia officials picked them up and shredded them.  Samples were also taken.  The Georgia election gang has some major explaining to do.  Patrick Byrne, Founder of Overstock.com and now member of the Trump team who is attempting to prove the massive fraud across the country released some shocking news moments ago in a series of tweets.

Jovan Pulitzer — Fulton County began shredding (evidence) ballots yesterday — 4 hours after I was asked to inspect them.  Pulitzer told Monica Matthews today that as soon as he was tasked with auditing the Fulton County ballots, trucks pulled up to the facility and the ballots were being loaded into the trucks and were being shredded.  Jovan Pulitzer — "I'd like your permission of you and your fine audience that as I answer you that I have your permission to piss you off...  The very minute that order went through and that order was followed, and all the legal notices were done, it didn't even take four hours later where moving trucks with this stuff was backed up to those buildings trying to get rid of the evidence."  [Video clip]

Tech expert reveals Ga. voting machines connected to Chinese vendor.  Just days ahead of the Senate runoff elections in Georgia, a tech expert unveiled key vulnerabilities in the peach state's voting machines.  During a Thursday [12/31/2020] livestream, inventor Jovan Pulitzer revealed dominion machines set to be used in the key election seem to be connected to a vendor in China.  This followed Pulitzer's Wednesday testimony before the Georgia Senate Judiciary subcommittee when he demonstrated his ability to connect a dominion voting machine to the internet.  This came despite claims by state election officials that the electronic voting machines do not connect to the web.

Don't expect Mike Pence to save us on January 6.  There's been a lot written about the power Vice President Pence has to turn the stolen election around on January 6.  Many commentators on various sites (including AT) have weighed in, some expressing hope, while other have expressed doubt Pence would do the right thing.  But it appears all of this is moot, as Bill Jacobson, founder of Legal Insurrection writes:  ["]A claim has circulated widely in the past few days that Vice President Mike Pence, as President of the Senate, has the power and discretion to reject certifications.  If Pence had such power and chose to exercise it, it would be over, but he doesn't.["]

A Statistically Meaningful Analysis of Mail-in Voting Patterns Proves Vote Fraud in Georgia and Pennsylvania.  [Scroll down]  In a case dealing with a dispute regarding just about anything other than an election contest, the type of analysis done by Dr. Lott would be admissible and compelling because it would allow Dr. Lott to offer an expert opinion in the form of something like "But for the impact of fraudulent conduct, there is no other explanation for the outcome of the voting as reflected by the pattern analysis.  In the absence of fraudulent influences, barring the existence of evidence of some other contributing factor, the outcome of the election would have been different."  That is the type of "but for" expert opinion that can support a jury's conclusion in favor of a plaintiff making a claim.  It is not direct evidence that "A" caused "B", but it is evidence nonetheless.  If convinced by such an opinion, a jury can base its verdict on such evidence.  But, as we saw played out time after time in the Court challenges, individual judges were not going to "disenfranchise" voters — and reverse election outcomes — based on anything like a "but for" opinion of an expert about how fraudulent activity was involved in the voting process, or vote-counting procedures.

Judge dismisses Gohmert's attempt to force Pence to decide election results.  A federal judge on Friday dismissed a lawsuit by Congressman Louie Gohmert of Texas that sought to empower Vice President Mike Pence to unilaterally decide the 2020 election results rather than have Congress count the electoral votes on January 6.  Pence and the Department of Justice on Thursday [12/31/2020] had urged the court to reject Gohmert's lawsuit, saying the power lies with the House and the Senate.  U.S. District Court Judge Jeremy Kernodle of the Eastern District of Texas said the plaintiffs lack "standing" to sue, since they claim "institutional injury" to the House of Representatives, but "that is insufficient to support standing."  The [sic] also said Gohmert "does not identify any injury to himself as an individual, but rather a 'wholly abstract and widely dispersed' institutional injury to the House of Representatives."

Reminder: Democrats Have Objected To Electoral Certification The Last Three Times A Republican Won.  Democrats are absolutely freaking out abut the fact that some Republicans are planning to object to the certification of Joe Biden by the Electoral College.  Not only did they spend the last four years freaking out about Trump, they have objected to the certification the last three times a Republican won the presidency.

Democrats Have Objected to Electoral Vote Certification For the Last 3 GOP Presidents.  Democrats are outraged that Republicans are planning on objecting to the certification of electoral votes.  It's "conspiracy and fantasy," says Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.  "The effort by the sitting president of the United States to overturn the results is patently undemocratic," the New York Democrat said.  "The effort by others to amplify and burnish his ludicrous claims of fraud is equally revolting."  "This is America.  We have elections.  We have results.  We make arguments based on the fact and reason — not conspiracy and fantasy," he added.  There's only one problem with Chucky's "argument based on fact and reason."  Democrats have been challenging the electoral vote certification for two decades.

At least 140 House Republicans 'are planning to vote against certifying Joe Biden's election victory' on January 6.  At least 140 Republicans in the House of Representatives are planning to vote against counting the electoral votes to certify President-elect Joe Biden's victory, according to two congressman.  The certification will take place on January 6, and despite the numbers claimed to be planning to vote against, President Donald Trump's Republican allies have very little chance of overturning the 2020 election result.  Instead, they will likely just delay the inevitable affirmation of Biden as the winner of the Electoral College and the next President of the United States by a few hours.

Huge Number of GOP Members Reportedly Will Now Object to the Electoral Count on Jan. 6.  All it takes is one from the House and one from the Senate to shut down the Electoral College count, to open debate on the question of fraud and irregularities in the election in the contested states.  When Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) said that he would join Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) and about ten other House members, they had enough to open the discussion and call for a vote on the question.  As we reported, Democrats flipped out and attacked Hawley.  Since then, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-MA) even said Hawley's actions "bordered on sedition and treason." [...] Apparently now that Hawley, Brooks and the others were willing to step forward, that's prompted others to stand up now as well.  Reports are now that at least 140 GOP members have joined the move and that may go up even more.  That's 66% of the Republican members of Congress, if true.

As Pence Moves to Dismiss Election Lawsuit, The Number of House GOP Reps Objecting to 2020 Results Skyrockets.  Cortney wrote about the lawsuit Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) filed this week against Vice President Mike Pence over the 2020 election.  It basically would have granted the vice president the power to pick the electors by overturning the 1877 Electoral Count Act.  There was a lot of funny business during the 2020 election.  The legal front on this battle is over, however.  It's now up to what happens on the Hill on January 6. [...] Also, there appear to be some 140 Republican House members ready to object to the 2020 Electoral College results.  It's gathering steam.  For the Never Trump wing of the GOP, either accept the new path of just become Democrats.  Many of you had done so already.  It's Trump's party now.  The right-wing populist wing has taken over, and they're not done fighting.  The mountains of allegations of voter fraud have not convinced the GOP or its base that this was a free and fair election.

Graham doubtful Hawley will succeed in bid to reject Biden victory.  Sen. Lindsey Graham said Thursday [12/31/2020] he will hear Sen. Josh Hawley make his case next week against Congress certifying President-elect Joseph R. Biden's election victory, but cast doubt on his colleague's prospects for success.  "Senator Hawley has every right to object," said Mr. Graham, South Carolina Republican and chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.  "But it's another thing to overturn an election of another state."  Mr. Hawley, Missouri Republican, announced Wednesday [12/30/2020] he will object when Congress meets next week to count the Electoral College votes affirming Mr. Biden's decisive victory over President Trump.

Pennsylvania House & Senate Members Write Urgent Letter to McConnell and McCarthy Over Election Results.  On Thursday [12/31/2020], members of the Pennsylvania House and Senate sent an urgent letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House GOP leader Keven McCarthy, telling them to dispute the election results in the state of Pennsylvania.  The letter was signed by 27 Pennsylvania lawmakers.  "Today, members of the PA House and Senate request that Sen Mitch McConnell and Rep Kevin McCarthy dispute the PA election results until an investigation is conducted into the numerous claims of fraud," said Pennsylvania state Senator Doug Mastriano.  "Until this is completed, the hastily certified results can't be trusted."  "There are increasing concerns that the 2020 presidential election should not have been certified in Pennsylvania, with mounting and overwhelming evidence depicting election irregularities and extensive potential fraud," the letters to McConnell and McCarthy read.  "The fraud must be investigated — not ignored."

Pence Asks Judge to Reject Push to Expand His Powers to Decide Electoral College Votes.  Vice President Mike Pence asked a federal judge on Thursday [12/31/2020] to reject an effort to give him "exclusive authority" to decide which Electoral College votes should be counted during the upcoming joint session of Congress.  Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and other Republicans last week filed a lawsuit against Pence, requesting that the court grant Pence power to decide which votes to count on Jan. 6, 2021, when lawmakers will gather to observe the formal certification of states' electoral votes for the president of the United States.  Pence argued that he was not the correct defendant to the lawsuit.  In a Thursday filing to U.S. District Judge Jeremy Kernodle, an attorney representing Pence wrote, "A suit to establish that the Vice President has discretion over the count, filed against the Vice President, is a walking legal contradiction."

Georgia Judge Rolls Back Order That Blocked Counties From Voter-Roll Clean Up.  The federal judge who on Monday [12/28/2020] blocked two Georgia counties from removing voters from voter rolls eased her order just before midnight Wednesday.  District Court Judge Leslie Abrams Gardner, an Obama appointee, ruled that Ben Hill County still cannot remove any voters from voter rolls but said the Muscogee County Board of Elections and Registration can remove voters if they do not rely solely on the U.S. Postal Service's National Change of Address system.  The board must allow voters whose eligibility has been challenged to cast a provisional ballot in the Jan. 5, 2021, runoff elections.  They also must advise the voter of specific evidence of ineligibility by phone and in writing by Jan. 6, and advise the voter of their right to be heard and present evidence in response to the findings.  The new order dissolved Gardner's earlier temporary restraining order.

How to Steal an Election in Four Steps.  [Scroll down]  After midnight on election night, six state governors, all Democrats, halted the ballot counting for several hours.  In Nevada, when they had stopped counting it had been nearly tied; Trump had led in the other five states:

Pennsylvania      Trump by 682,000 votes (15.2%)
Georgia           Trump by 311,000 votes (7.5%)
Michigan          Trump by 307,000 votes (9.6%)
Wisconsin         Trump by 128,000 votes (4.9%)
North Carolina    Trump by  77,000 votes (1.4%)

Witnesses in Ga. say Democrats altered military ballots.  New investigations reveal military ballots were major targets of Democrat voter fraud in November.  According to reports on Thursday [12/31/2020], thousands of military ballots were potentially tampered with at polling stations during the general election. [...] On Wednesday, several witnesses came forward during a hearing.  They presented both photo and video evidence of rampant fraud.  Republican poll watchers also claim they got locked out of the counting stations when it came time to look over military ballots, which typically lean red.

The Etiology of Executive Order 13848.  The fate of Western Civilization, some three thousand years in the making, now hangs by a slender thread.  That thread is Executive Order 13848.  So what is in that Executive Order? [...] It relies heavily on the Attorney General.  The hapless Jeff Sessions was in that role when Executive Order 13848 was signed.  He was replaced on 14th February, 2019, by Bill Barr.  Barr seemed reliable but achieved nothing.  The reason he slow-walked everything, couldn't see corruption in the Hunter Biden laptop etc. became apparent when he recently referred to President Trump as a "deposed king ranting."  Barr outed himself as a Deep State operative too soon, and leaves his position on 23rd December and so won't be involved in drafting the remedies report in response to the report by the Director of National Intelligence.  The fate of Western Civilization hangs on such small matters.

Video: Georgia Witness Reveals 93% Of Military Votes Were Supposedly For Joe Biden.  "Where are the missing military ballots in Georgia?" President Donald Trump asked right after the election night on Twitter.  "What happened to them?"  In Georgia, a state official answered:  There are no missing military ballots.  Urban and suburban counties where Biden has allegedly outperformed Trump had the most military ballots outstanding, including Fulton with 956, DeKalb with 802, and Gwinnett with 741, according to data released on November 4th.  Those could include service members anywhere in the world who are still registered in Georgia.  But some strange stuff did happen in Georgia as all 900 military ballots in Fulton County went for Biden.

GA Senate Subcommittee Votes to Audit Fulton County's Absentee Ballots Following Bombshell Testimony of Expert Witness.  The Georgia State Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Elections unanimously passed motion to audit Fulton County's absentee ballots on Wednesday [12/30/2020] following the bombshell testimony of an expert witness who said his team was able to hack into the Dominion voting system.  The senators are requesting that all absentee ballots in Georgia's largest county be inspected by Jovan Pulitzer, an American inventor and technology start-up founder who is best known for creating and patenting CRQ[.]  [Video clips] 

Stunning turn of events in PA may lead to Trump victory.  On Dec. 28, Pennsylvania lawmakers concluded that "Numbers Don't Add Up, Certification Of Presidential Results Premature and In Error" [...] The PA lawmakers have done their job (so far). Now what is the next step?  These lawmakers need to recall the slate of electors and tell House and Senate that the election results cannot be ascertained in their state.  They should probably hold a vote that overturns the certification of the awful election.  The bottom line is that the slate of electors is not permitted to vote on Jan. 6.  This reasonable and fair action may have a domino effect on the other embattled states, whose lawmakers should follow suit.

PA GOP: 2020 Election Numbers 'Don't Add Up,' Certification of Presidential Results 'In Error'.  A group of Republican Pennsylvania state lawmakers announced Monday that the certified results of the 2020 election for president in the Keystone State were off by more than 200,000 votes — more than twice the margin of Biden's alleged victory. [...] "A comparison of official county election results to the total number of voters who voted on November 3, 2020 as recorded by the Department of State shows that 6,962,607 total ballots were reported as being cast, while DoS/SURE system records indicate that only 6,760,230 total voters actually voted.  Among the 6,962,607 total ballots cast, 6,931,060 total votes were counted in the presidential race, including all three candidates on the ballot and write-in candidates.  The difference of 202,377 more votes cast than voters voting, together with the 31,547 over- and under-votes in the presidential race, adds up to an alarming discrepancy of 170,830 votes, which is more than twice the reported statewide difference between the two major candidates for President of the United States.

Arizona Attorney General Joins in Battle For Forensic Audit of Maricopa County Elections Equipment and Ballot Images.  Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich on Wednesday joined in the battle for a forensic audit of Maricopa County elections equipment and ballot images.  Mr. Brnovich filed an amicus brief in support of the Senate subpoenas.  A couple weeks ago the Maricopa Board of Supervisors voted 4-1 to refuse to comply with legislative subpoenas to turn over Dominion voting machines for a forensic audit.  Instead of supporting transparency and making sure there was a free and fair election, they filed a complaint in Superior Court.  Subpoenas were previously issued for the machines by the Arizona Senate Judiciary.  "The goal is to verify the machines did what they are supposed to do," Senate President Karen Fann said.

If enough Senators challenge the election results, Trump wins.  Sen. Josh Hawley (R. MO) officially stated that he will object to the Electoral College vote count to be held in the Senate on January 6.  May this courageous man be the first of many Senators to take a stand against the overwhelming evidence of election fraud.  If neither candidate wins enough Electoral College votes on January 6, Trump should win — and it's all in the Constitution without the need for any strained statutory interpretations.  Let me start with an overview of what happens on January 6.  It's crucial to appreciate how this can end if Hawley is joined by several Senators who refuse to certify Electoral College votes achieved through manifest fraud.

Witness Testifies Dominion Voting Equipment, and Internal Data, Hacked Live During Georgia Senate Hearing.  This is rather remarkable.  In real time, during live testimony before a Georgia Senate Committee, a witness testifies to using Wifi capbility to enter the Fulton County voting system via the internet while the hearing was ongoing.  [Video clip]

Pence finally breaks with Trump:  VP refuses to join Texas Republican Louie Gohmert's bid to stop Congress certifying Biden victory.  Vice President Mike Pence refused to sign on to a plan that would upend Congress certifying the election on January 6 for President-elect Joe Biden.  Earlier this week, Rep. Louie Gohmert and Arizona's slate of Republican Electoral College 'electors' filed a federal lawsuit to get a judge to say Pence has the power to pick pro-Trump electors when he presides over the Congressional session where he will finalize the presidential election results.  Politico reported late Tuesday night that a legal filing in the case indicated that Gohmert and the electors' lawyers had reached out to Pence in advance, trying to work out a deal, and it was shot down.

Arizona Patriots Identify Between 160,000 to 400,000 'Phantom' Ballots In Their State 2020 Election Results.  As we noted earlier, a group of patriots in Arizona held a presentation this evening outside the capitol in Arizona. [...] Arizona Patriots held the rally at the Arizona state capitol and their accounts were shocking.  An estimate by these patriots in Arizona is that between 160,000 and 400,000 'phantom' ballots are present in Arizona's 2020 election results: [...] A number of ordinary Americans gave their stories of what they did and what they found out.  These modern day patriots had numerous stories of voter and election fraud.  One patriot for example, looked up the addresses for individuals who were listed as voting in the election and the name connected to the address in 11 cases was 'Unknown Voter'[.]

This research would have been eagerly undertaken by the news media, if there had been any suggestion that Republican were manufacturing votes.

Incriminating facts emerge from a Georgia hearing the media buried.  The media kept quiet about a hearing on Wednesday before the Georgia Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Elections.  Perhaps they did so because important information emerged establishing beyond a doubt that significant fraud occurred in Georgia, enough to change that state's electoral votes.  This post focuses on voting machine hacking, shredded evidence, statistical improbabilities, negative counts, and over one hundred thousand "adjudications" that destroyed all evidence of a citizen's original intent.  Jovan Pulitzer, the man who says there's a very easy way to determine whether mail-in ballots are real or faked, announced during the hearing that his team had easily hacked into a voting system identical to the systems used during the election and then explained how that access could lead to changes in voting data: [...] Susan Knox testified that she was at Jim Miller Park in Cobb County on November 20, the day the vote was going to be certified.  That was where ballots for the election had been stored, although it's not a permanent ballot storage facility.  She was in the parking lot and saw a Shredding and Recycling truck that was shredding huge bins full of ballots.  Knox produced pictures proving that the bin contents were ballots.  When Knox called 911, emergency services refused to show up.

Why the Defeatism?  Will the elections fraud prove the conspirators' death knell?  I believe so.  The unprecedented ballot theft in six battleground states was an overplayed hand.  The accumulating evidence, voluminous eyewitness testimonies, and impressive statistical analyses are damning.  Americans are in something of a pause, as perceptions catch up to reality.  Not all Americans will see the treachery — some because they favor it, others through inexplicable lack of interest, and still others through willful ignorance.  But many millions more Americans will see and rise to defend our freedoms.

Hey, GOP: This is Your Do or Die Moment.  If Democrats, the corporate media, and foreign interests can steal a presidential election, they can steal any congressional or gubernatorial election, easily.  If a thief can rob Fort Knox with ease, any bank on Main Street will be child's play.  If they can weaponize the CIA, FBI, IRS, and DOJ to target their political enemies, without punishment, why won't they double down next time?  For the left, crime does pay.  There has been no reckoning or accountability for the stolen 2020 presidential election.  What's to stop every subsequent election from being stolen in the same way? [...] Does anyone seriously believe that the Biden FBI or DOJ will lift a finger to investigate voter fraud?

Sen. Murphy:  Josh Hawley Is 'Engaged in the Attempted Overthrow of Democracy'.  Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) said Wednesday on MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports" that his colleague Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) is attempting to overthrow democracy by announcing he will object to the certification of President-elect Joe Biden's electoral college win in the Senate on January 6.  Mitchell said, "Your Republican colleague Josh Hawley of Missouri announcing today he's going to object to the Electoral College vote certification on January 6.  It's unlikely to change the result, it's not going to happen, but it's going to cause delay, lengthy debate, both Houses in Joint Session.  It's a complicated process that sets off."

A Witness At The Georgia State Senate Hearing On Election Fraud Is Showing A Video Of Ballots Allegedly Being "Manipulated" Through Voter Software.  The GA State Senate subcommittee of the Judiciary holding a hearing at the moment, the hearing started at 9:00 AM in the morning.  Except for OANN and NewsMax, no one else covers the hearing where a lot of witnesses and evidence surfaced.  The first witness from Coffee County is devastating.  She just blasted the corrupt Secretary of State and alleged voter fraud which she backed with a video of ballots being "manipulated" through voter software.  [Video clip]

A compilation of twenty alleged election 'facts' that don't pass the smell test.  [#1] Biden allegedly got 80 million votes, which is more than Obama received at his peak, in 2008 — and Biden did this despite losing minority voters to Donald Trump and trailing Trump in voter enthusiasm.  [#2] Biden broke 60 years of precedent by winning nationally despite losing prodigiously in bellwether states and counties.  The last time this happened was when the mafia got out the vote for John F. Kennedy in 1960.  [#3] Trump had extraordinary coattails, so much so that even the New York Times admitted that the "Democrats Suffered Crushing Down-Ballot Losses Across America."  Think about that:  Biden had no coattails and no enthusiasm, yet he allegedly won a record number of votes.  [#4] Biden barely made it through the primaries, while Trump soared, with Trump's performance being a historically sure sign of voter enthusiasm and probable victory — yet Biden, again, allegedly scored an equally historically strong victory.

2020 Election:  I'm not mad, I'm furious.  This Republic cannot long endure if its electoral system is thoroughly discredited by the widespread and successful fraudulent schemes of big-city political machines in six swing states.  It's all out there in plain sight, no matter how hard the DemMedia try to hide it.  Within a week after the election, the alarm was sounded.  Larry Creia, novelist and retired accountant, asked on his website for a response from auditors and anti-fraud veterans to this question:  "In your entire career, have you ever seen a case that threw up this many flags that DID NOT turn out to be fraud?"  Over 50 people responded.  All of them said that with this many flags, it was always fraud.  The obvious response to these flags should have been for Republicans at the state level in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin to immediately seize the evidence to forestall a cover-up.

Vice President Pence Must Reject Swing State Biden Electors Absent Certification by State Lawmakers.  [Scroll down]  However, the six swing state legislatures won't meet at a regular session until after Jan. 6, and they can't be called into an earlier special session without the say-so of the governors (all of whom are Democrat other than Georgia's Brian Kemp and Arizona's Doug Ducey).  Unelected secretaries of state and election officials (who are nothing but Democratic operatives) have certified their fraudulent election results without consulting state lawmakers.  Thus, to adopt the reclamation resolutions I proposed, the lawmakers would somehow have to overcome their inability to call a special session without gubernatorial intervention, and then act in contravention of state law (though in compliance with the Constitution) in asserting their right to override the fraudulent "certified" election results and appoint Trump-pledged electors.  Given this constitutional crisis, on Dec. 22, lawyers for the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society brought a lawsuit in the federal district court for the D.C. Circuit, making the case that the electors clause of the Constitution grants each state's legislature the "exclusive and non-delegable" power and duty to determine the manner of selecting the state's presidential electors.

Trump Campaign Asks Supreme Court to Set Aside Wisconsin's Election.  The Trump campaign announced Tuesday that it was asking the Supreme Court to set aside Wisconsin's presidential election, and to allow the Republican-controlled legislature to choose how to cast its 10 electoral votes.  The campaign asks in its filing that the Supreme Court declare the state election "failed."  It also asks justices to allow the Wisconsin Legislature to appoint presidential electors to replace those pledged to Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.  Trump lost the battleground state to the former vice president by about 21,000 votes, according to official records.  "This Court is likely the only institution of our government capable of credibly resolving the controversy over this election," Trump's legal team said.

Constitution Expert Tells Us Why Gohmert's Lawsuit Against VP Pence Could Be a Game Changer.  What's going to happen on January 6 when Congress meets to count states' electoral votes?  Rick Green, an attorney, constitutional expert, former Texas State Representative, and founder of leadership group Patriot Academy, gave us his best guess.  In the latest turn of events in the dragged out 2020 presidential election, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) sued Vice President Mike Pence on Monday [12/28/2020] to try and give him the authority to choose the electors.  Quite a few people were confused by the move, but not Green.  He says it's high time that we do something about the 1887 Electoral Count Act, which limits Pence's role in the vote count.  The New York Times argues, "The whole point of an election is to let the people decide who will rule them.  If an incumbent could simply maneuver to keep himself in office — after all, a maneuver to protect Mr. Trump also protects Mr. Pence — the most foundational precept of our government would be gravely undermined."  But folks like Green want to see the Electoral Count Act overturned.

You're It.  I have a sinking, terrible feeling that the inauguration of Joe Biden will go off uncontested and Americans will have swallowed another helping of humiliation for the sake of peace, in order not to be labeled a cultist for Donald Trump, white supremacists or right-wing extremist.  It's a sobering moment in American history. [...] Once Joe Biden (actually Kamala Harris or some other Obama lackey in the cabinet) takes power over the military, federal law enforcement and commands the higher ground of government authority, it will be too late.  Like many, I would prefer the legal system and the constitution be the answer to a stolen election, but the evidence is there, open and voluminous, but no judge will hear it, no court will review it.  Truth itself is not a weapon, acting as a result of truth is.  The courts don't want to act, because they know the patriot is a civil being, honoring life and liberty and they are not the threat that motivated and protected activists like BLM and Antifa are a threat.  This is one of those times in American history when the peaceful are forced to violence out of the refusal of government to simply follow the law.  They think electing Joe Biden will put the nation back on the path of traditional governance, as corrupt as it is, it's known.  Following the law and revealing the corruption leads them into the unknown.  They seek normalcy, it's sometimes more powerful and reliable than corruption.

Sidney Powell Gives Her Elevator Pitch to Supreme Court.  Calling-in for an interview with Todd Herman, attorney Sidney Powell provides her summary of election fraud evidence as if she had a few minutes to make her pitch to the United States Supreme Court.  [Audio clip]

New study estimates 289,000 election-changing 'excess' votes, calls Biden win 'suspicious'.  A new voter fraud study by economist and political commentator John R. Lott Jr. suggests that there were 289,000 "excess" votes in states where Joe Biden's victory was only slightly higher than President Donald Trump's and that the differences in votes were "suspicious."  Lott analyzed the voting in two key counties, Fulton County, Georgia and Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, where there were multiple accusations of voter fraud.  He found irregularities when compared to the 2016 voter data, including the difference in voting by people in neighboring counties.  He found statistically significant differences "just across the street," which suggests potential voter fraud.

Coffee Co GOP Chair Testifies At GA Senate Election Hearing.  This morning [12/30/2020], during the GA Senate Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Elections hearing, Coffee County GOP Chair Cathy Latham dropped one bombshell after another.  Latham began her testimony by explaining multiple issues they allegedly had with their Dominion ballot scanners in the June primary, saying, "From the get-go, we had nothing but problems."  She explained, "The scanners were messed up completely, as we were scanning — constantly having to be cleaned — they wouldn't scan — finally, halfway through — even just trying to scan one at a time, we had all kinds of problems.  We sent a city cop to a county a couple of hours away to go get an emergency scanner in the middle of the night — lights blaring — brought it back and finished the next day with a borrowed scanner."

Inventor Jovan Pulitzer Destroys Georgia's Corrupted 2020 Election Results.  Inventor Jovan Hutton Pulitzer was in front of the Georgia Senate today [12/30/2020] and he totally destroyed Georgia's 2020 election results and offered a plan where for free, he will determine the accurate results by examining the paper ballots used in the election.  Prior to today we've requested that President Donald J. Trump write an Executive Order mandating that the ballots and images in select states be audited and reviewed for fraud by Jovan Pulitzer.  We first learned of Inventor Jovan Pulitzer a few weeks ago and reported that he is able to audit millions of ballots in a day based on his method for reviewing ballots and images.  His biography and ideas were provided in our article.  He believes there was fraud in the 2020 election and that he can prove it quickly.

Raffensperger Gets Caught:  Georgia Ballots Were Printed Differently for GOP Counties vs. Democrat Counties — Election Was Rigged!  Members of Georgia's Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Elections and members of the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing [12/30/2020] to study Georgia's Election Laws, and the numerous voting irregularities in the 2020 presidential election.  The hearing comes after a Senate subcommittee held a hearing last week at the capitol to discuss perceived voting irregularities in November's presidential election.  During the hearing witness Jovan Pulitzer was invited to testify on the irregularities in the November 3rd election.  Jovan Pulitzer is a brilliant inventor and author best known for creating and patenting CRQ and has founded companies that included seed investment rounds ranging from $1.6m to over $250m.

Poll: Two-Thirds Of Republicans Believe Voter Fraud Helped Biden Win.  Polling data indicates that a vast majority of Republicans believe voter fraud helped President-elect Joe Biden win the presidency and less than half of Republicans accept the outcome of the election.  A new NPR/Ipsos poll released Wednesday [12/30/2020] found that while 33% of all respondents believe voter fraud helped Biden win the 2020 election, 67% of Republicans said the same.  Only 44% of Republicans surveyed said they accept the outcome of the election and 71% said there is a deep state working to undermine President Donald Trump.

Stacey Abrams' Federal Judge Sister Blocks Purge of Inaccurate Voter Rolls in Georgia.  A federal judge, who is the sister of Democratic Party operative Stacey Abrams, has issued an order blocking local election officials in Georgia from purging inaccurate information from the voter rolls.  U.S. District Judge Leslie Abrams Gardner ordered officials to allow voting by more than 4,000 people whose records show incorrect addresses.  The eligibility of the votes was being challenged ahead of next week's runoff elections for the U.S. Senate.  Judge Abrams Gardner blocked election boards in Ben Hill County and Muscogee County, which includes Columbus, from requiring large numbers of voters to prove their residency before casting ballots in the runoffs.

Stacey Abrams' Federal Judge Sister Blocks Voter Purge in Two Georgia Counties.  U.S. District Judge Leslie Abrams Gardner, Stacey Abrams' sister, ruled against a voter purge in two Georgia counties before the January 5th runoff.  Here is some background in order to fully understand the ruling.  Muscogee County wanted to remove 4,000 voters.  Ben Hill County wanted to purge 150 voters.  The two counties sought to remove the voters "because their registrations appeared to match U.S. Postal Service change-of-address records." [...] City Council member Tommy Roberts in Fitzgerald, GA, challenged the 150 voters in Ben Hill County.  He "relied on change-of-address data." The board in that county voted 2-1 in favor of Roberts.  Politico reported that "the board backed him despite evidence that the data could not be verified and would be inadmissible in court."

Judge, Who Is Stacey Abrams' Sister, Orders Georgia Counties To Keep Voter Rolls Dirty.  Stealing an election the old fashioned way.  The classics never go out of style[.]  "A federal judge in Georgia on Monday [12/28/2020] ordered two counties to reverse a decision removing more than 4,000 voters from the rolls ahead of the Jan. 5 runoff elections that will decide control of the U.S. Senate.  The judge, Leslie Abrams Gardner — the sister of former gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, a prominent ally of President-elect Joe Biden who has led voter registration efforts across the state — concluded that the counties appeared to have improperly relied on unverified change-of-address data to invalidate registrations in the two counties."  I like the use of 'concluded' to pretend that there was some sort of process here, as if Judge Stacey's Sister had to think long and hard about whether she would allow the election to proceed free of interference... or help her sister take over the state.

Hawley Becomes First Senator Committed to Challenging Electoral College Results.  Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) said he will object during the counting of the Electoral College vote process on Jan. 6, becoming the first senator to confirm they are joining an effort launched by more than a dozen House Republicans.  "I cannot vote to certify the electoral college results on Jan. 6 without raising the fact that some states, particularly Pennsylvania, failed to follow their own state election laws," Hawley wrote in a statement on Dec. 30.  "And I cannot vote to certify without pointing out the unprecedented effort of mega-corporations, including Facebook and Twitter, to interfere in this election, in support of Joe Biden," he added.  Hawley said that Congress should investigate voter fraud allegations and make sure that future elections are secure.  According to the Missouri Republican, both chambers have failed to act in an appropriate manner.

Sen. Josh Hawley will object to Electoral College results on Jan. 6.  Republican Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri said Wednesday [10/30/2020] he will object on Jan. 6 to President-elect Joe Biden's Electoral College victory.  His objection guarantees a last stand for President Trump, who unsuccessfully argued in lawsuits that fraud handed narrow wins to Biden in swing states.  "Following both the 2004 and 2016 elections, Democrats in Congress objected during the certification of electoral votes in order to raise concerns about election integrity.  They were praised by Democratic leadership and the media when they did," Hawley said in a statement.  "And they were entitled to do so.  But now those of us concerned about the integrity of this election are entitled to do the same."

Josh Hawley will object to Electoral College results.  Sen. Josh Hawley said he will object to the Electoral College certification during a joint session of Congress scheduled for Jan. 6, giving House Republicans the senator they need to put into action their long shot to overturn President-elect Joe Biden's victory.  The announcement, shared to social media Wednesday morning [12/30/2020], is sure to give President Trump a boost as he refuses to concede the race two months after Election Day over claims of election fraud.  "I will follow the same practice Democrat members of Congress have in years past and object during the certification process on January 6 to raise these critical issues," Hawley said.  The senator from Missouri also said that he'd object to the certification because "some states, particularly Pennsylvania, failed to follow their own state election laws" and because of "the unprecedented effort of mega corporations, including Facebook and Twitter to interfere in this election, in support of Joe Biden."

Tom Fitton Brilliantly Defends Rep. Gohmert in His Lawsuit Against VP Mike Pence to Resolve Election Results.  Rep. Louie Gohmert on Sunday became the latest Republican to file a lawsuit attempting to restore the legitimate election victory to President Donald Trump — this time by suing Vice President Mike Pence.  CNBC reported:  The suit asks federal Judge Jeremy Kernodle, a Trump appointee in eastern Texas, to declare that Pence has the "exclusive authority and sole discretion" to decide which electoral votes from a given state should be counted.  Tom Fitton and Gregg Jarrett discussed the lawsuit Monday on Lou Dobbs.  Tom Fitton was outstanding.  [Fast forward to 4:40 in the video clip.]

GOP congressional challenges to electors would be a catastrophic tactical mistake.  An objection to electors by Rep. Matt Gaetz, Rep. Mo Brooks, and others would be voted down in Nancy Pelosi's House and fail in the Senate, where senators such as Mitt Romney and Ben Sasse have personal vendettas against President Trump; where Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has congratulated Biden and Harris on winning the election; and where Sen.-elect Tommy Tuberville is being pressured by colleagues not to endorse any objection.  Making matters worse is the uneven playing field — a handful of GOP legislators versus the Democrats and the media that will be cheering them on against "conspiracy theorists" making "baseless claims."  Expect Democrats and the media to emphasize that Attorney-General Bill Barr found no evidence of fraud.  They can sound very convincing to the uninformed, who are not aware of the voluminous evidence being collected by Rudy Giuliani and his team.  Why make the challenge when it not only is doomed, but needlessly hands Democrats and their media allies yet another platform, at a time when platforms are being removed from Republicans? [...] My plea to Republican members of Congress:  Make no objections to electors.  Leave it all to Vice President Pence.

Trump Campaign Takes Wisconsin Fight to US Supreme Court, Will Challenge 50,000 Ballots.  On Tuesday, the Trump campaign took their election fight in Wisconsin to the US Supreme Court where they will be challenging 50,000 absentee ballots.  The announcement was first released by Trump advisor Boris Epshteyn during Steve Bannon's show, War Room.  The news was later confirmed by President Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani.

Immigration in the Name of Political Jihad.  With the 2020 election still up in the air, lawsuits being filed, and the results heading to the Supreme Court, there is another threat to the republic rearing its ugly head.  The liberal media (I know, redundant) are now giving tips to other socialists on how to hack the election even more.  Their plan involves actually moving to another state, specifically Georgia, in order to turn the Senate blue by voting for the two Democrats in the Georgia Senate runoff election!  Immigration for a cause is not new. [...] Just as some Muslims immigrate in the name of jihad, so do some socialists!  Now that cities like San Francisco, New York, Philadelphia, and Portland have been turned into lawless upholstered sewers, socialism's useful Idiots are immigrating to red states in order to spread their policies throughout the free states.  In Georgia, legal residents who turned 18 before December 7 are eligible to vote in the January 5 runoff election.  Georgia does not have a residency or period of time requirement before an election, but you do have to have intent to stay in the state.

What is the penalty for early departure from the state? How tough could it be to locate all the voters who have just arrived in Georgia in the last six weeks, and either challenge their votes or file charges when they leave the state (in early January)?

Sidney Powell Goes Off in Latest Interview, Lays Out Upcoming Election Fight.  During a radio interview with Todd Herman, pro-Trump attorney Sidney Powell gave an update on her ongoing 2020 election fight.  Powell was asked about her "elevator pitch" to the Supreme Court about alleged election fraud.  Powell unleashed.  [Audio clip]

Frontpage Person of the Year:  The Disenfranchised American Voter.  When the Constitution formed this nation, we were a country of around 4 million.  But in 2020 at least 74 million Americans have had their votes tossed in the trash along with the Constitution.  More Americans had their votes discarded, stolen, nullified, corrupted, and obstructed in this election than existed in the entire United States when it fought for its independence from monarchy and tyranny, when it brought into being a "more perfect union", when it expanded westward, and when brother against brother fought in a civil war to preserve that union.  There were more Americans who voted for President Trump than were living in the United States in 1890.  The entire nation, as it was in 1890, had its vote usurped by a corrupt oligarchy.  While the battles go on across cable news and social media, these are the forgotten men.

A Miracle!  There's Always Enough Votes - As Long As You Keep Counting.  [Scroll down]  Cliff Notes version: over 200,000 more votes than registered voters.  Of course we don't know for whom those supplemental votes were cast, do we?  Therefore 'no reasonable prosecutor' would bring a case.  Although I can't actually remember the last time we've seen a "reasonable prosecutor," can you?

South Korea Has Elections Riddled With Fraud, Mirrors American Election To A Tee.  It looks like liberals around the world have found the American liberals' recipe to success can be imported.  And that recipe includes one part changing the election laws last minute in the name of COVID safety, one part more votes than humanly possible, one part voting machines hooked to the Internet, one part no chain of custody, and finally, one massive part of the courts not caring to adjudicate all these clear issues.  [Video clip]

Help Wanted:  One GOP Senator With Guts.  On January 6, Congress will meet in a joint session to validate the 51 slates of presidential electors chosen during the December 14 meeting of the Electoral College and certified by the 50 states and the District of Columbia.  This is no mere formality.  Until this venerable ceremony is complete, the recent presidential election has no official winner.  If one congressman and one senator jointly object in writing to any of the 51 slates of electors, the process grinds to a halt until the challenge is resolved.  In other words, Joe Biden's Electoral College majority is quite literally meaningless until confirmed by January's joint session of Congress.  If, for example, an objection is raised on the grounds that one or more slates of electors has been illegally certified due to a violation of state election laws or the U.S. Constitution, the joint session goes into recess.  The House and Senate then debate the issue separately and put the matter to a vote.  This is by no means as unlikely as one might gather from news reports and opinion pieces in the media. [...] It appears that this was not a free and fair election, and if no GOP senator will stand up with his House counterparts on January 6 and object to this apparent crime against democracy, we may never have another fair election.

The Guarantee Clause, The Electoral Count Act of 1887, The DNI Ratcliffe Report on Foreign Interference and VP Mike Pence.  [Scroll down slowly!]  The federal government, not the state government, ultimately holds the responsibility to protect the entire United States from foreign interference within the Guarantee Clause.  This would seem to apply to foreign election interference.  "[B]ecause protection against invasion or domestic violence is normally available only from Congress and the President, the structure of this section suggests that the political branches have at least the primary duty to carry out its obligations."  If DNI Ratcliffe produces a report (prior to January 6th) that outlines foreign interference in the election; and if the argument can be made the states with the contested (dual sets) of electors were subjects/targets of that interference; then a foundation to nullify the electors from the contested states is laid in congress.  In this approach the electoral nullification argument would appear to rest on The Guarantee Clause; where the state election outcome was not valid — as it is not representative of a republican form of government, and the majority vote requirement was manipulated.  If this type of legislative challenge was to take place, there is little precedent for the judicial branch to be involved except to qualify what role The Guarantee Clause would/could play and to what extent the nullification arguments are constitutionally valid.

GOP Lawmaker Sues Pence to Give Him 'Exclusive Authority' to Overturn Election Results.  Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) filed a lawsuit against Vice President Mike Pence in a bid to overturn the election results, asking a court to give Pence "exclusive authority" to decide which Electoral College votes should be counted on Jan. 6.  According to the lawsuit, Pence has a role in the upcoming Jan. 6 Joint Session of Congress to count all 50 states' Electoral College votes.  Gohmert's lawsuit, which was filed against Pence in his capacity as vice president, is asking a federal judge to strike down the 1887 Electoral Count Act and to grant Pence the authority to overturn the election results in favor of President Donald Trump.  Gohmert's lawsuit is claiming that any action taken by Pence on Jan. 6 to certify the Electoral College results to secure a win for Joe Biden will be fraudulent.  Gohmert is also asking Judge Jeremy Kernodle, an appointee of Trump, to determine that Pence is authorized to pick GOP electors who cast votes for Trump during the Joint Session of Congress.

I never went to law school, but I don't know of another case where one man sued another, for the purpose of giving the defendant any kind of "exclusive authority."

November 2020: The Good Points.  [W]hat good can possibly have come from a November 2020 election that would put the Democrats in the White House?  Interestingly enough, several good things could result.  [#1] Widespread Recognition of Democratic Voter Fraud and a Stacked Justice System:  This isn't subtle or difficult.  It's not exactly tough to see.  President Trump had overwhelming leads in all the battleground states as late as 11:00 P.M. on election night, a point in the election process where all the statistical and historical trends and certainties are absolutely locked into place.  Then, miraculously, the vote counting stopped, Republican poll watchers were kicked out, windows were boarded up, fake water main breaks were fabricated and tractor-trailers filled with hundreds of thousands of fraudulent Biden ballots were trucked across state lines to the exact destinations where they were needed.  Peter Navarro laid out everything in exquisite, irrefutable detail in a 36-page report; a report so damning the Washington Post was reduced to calling it the "most embarrassing document ever produced by a White House Staffer."  When caught red-handed with cookie crumbs all over their fingers, progressives simply revert to their tried-and-true 2 + 2 = 5 mantra, knowing that for enough people, "math is tough."  Everyone sees this now, for certain.

PA Republican lawmakers:  Analysis finds presidential election numbers don't add up.  A group of Republican lawmakers say they've performed an extensive analysis of election day data and they've found "troubling" discrepancies.  According to State Rep. Frank Ryan (R-Lebanon), 17 lawmakers sponsored and participated in the analysis.  Ryan, who is a certified public accountant, says they discovered discrepancies between the numbers of total votes counted and total number of voters who voted in the 2020 General Election which is making them question how the results could have been certified by Gov. Tom Wolf and Secretary of the Commonwealth Kathy Boockvar.  According to Ryan, the analysis compared official county election results to the total number of voters who voted Nov. 3, as recorded by the Department of State.  Ryan says they found that 6,962,607 total ballots were reported as being cast, while DoS/SURE system records indicated that only 6,760,230 total voters actually voted.

Is Nothing Happening?  Or is Trump is Channeling Sun Tzu?  I'm impatient, as I expect most American Thinker readers are as well.  We have been promised a coming storm that will be biblical, or a Kraken released on Deep State conspirators. [...] A presidential election was stolen, and Trump's own executive agencies say ho-hum, roll over, and go back to sleep.  The same FBI that sent 15 agents to investigate a garage door handle that Bubba Wallace claimed was a noose, can't seem to find any reason to investigate a host of election irregularities.  Republican members of Congress, who happily rode Trump's coattails to their elections, are telling him to "accept the results" and "move on," oblivious to the fact that if they get their wish, their party will become as irrelevant as the Green Party.

Election Fraud Expert It's Been Discovered Dominion Machines In GA Were Sending Data Directly To China.  It looks like it's going to prove out to be correct that in Georgia there is a "smart thermostat" that is talking to the tabulations and reporting the votes back to China.  And that was traced by a Microsoft engineer and he brought it to our attention yesterday.  So that's being monitored.  [Video clip]

Pennsylvania Certified Results for President Are Found in Error — The Error Is Twice the Size of the Difference Between Candidates.  After nearly two months, the state of Pennsylvania is found to have certified votes that are in error.  The Pennsylvania House has just uncovered that the certified results in Pennsylvania for President are in error by more than 200,000 votes.  This is more than twice the difference between President Trump and Joe Biden.  What a mess.  Republican State Representative Russ Diamond uncovered and reported today that the results for President are way off in Pennsylvania.  More ballots were cast than people voted by more than 200,000 votes.

Now What?  Most Americans think there was wholesale fraud in the election.  Almost all of Trump's voters think the election was stolen.  How can The Pretender rule when close to half the people think he is illegitimate?  If he gets the Epstein treatment and Willy Brown's concubine is installed, how can the political class keep pretending that America is a democracy?  That seems unlikely.  Given all the problems the ruling class of the American Empire has created in 2020, it is natural to assume 2021 must be better.  The thing is, the bumbling fools who created this mess are still in charge.  The odds of them working through these problems without creating more trouble are very low.  It is entirely possible that a year from now, people will look fondly back on 2020 as an age of relative calm.

Radio Host Release Recordings Of Man Claiming To Be DOD Official With Sworn Affidavits Where He Allegedly Admits Plane Offloaded Illegal Ballots In AZ.  Unlike other GOP members Arizona Republican Party chairwoman Kelli Ward decided to stand with President Trump in his fight to prove his allegations of voter fraud.  Ward filed a lawsuit in Arizona state court that alleged widespread issues with the vote count, including issues with how mail-in ballot signatures are verified and issues with ballots that are duplicated so they can be read by a tabulation machine, arguing these errors resulted in votes for President Donald Trump not getting counted or votes to flip from Trump to Biden.  Ward alleges that if the ballots at issue are allowed to be examined, the inspection could find that there are enough ballots with errors to overturn Biden's win.  The GOP chair's lawsuit was struck down in both Arizona's Superior Court and Supreme Court, with the state Supreme Court finding Ward's case did not provide any evidence of "misconduct" or "illegal votes" or "establish any degree of fraud or a sufficient error rate that would undermine the certainty of the election results."

Mathematician Bobby Piton Finds More Than 500,000 Unique Last Names in Pennsylvania: 'Sophisticated State Actor Was Able to Optimize Desired Outcome'.  Bobby Piton, the mathematician who testified at the Arizona voter fraud hearing dropped a bombshell this weekend.  Mr. Piton has done extraordinary work crunching data and his testimony pointed out blatant voter fraud through incontrovertible evidence, at one point claiming he'd stake his life on the factual nature of his testimony.  Piton revealed this weekend that he examined just over 9 million records in Pennsylvania and has identified 521,879 unique last names.  In other words, these people have no parents, siblings, aunts, uncles or cousins who share the same last name (phantom voters).

Sidney Powell Releases Massive 270 Page Document Detailing Alleged Election Fraud.  Pro-Trump attorney Sidney Powell recently released a massive 270 page document to Zenger News including affidavits, evidence and testimony from many witnesses and sources detailing alleged fraud in the 2020 election.  Powell has been on the frontlines of fighting the alleged fraud in the 2020 election, bringing many serious accusations to the table.

Questionable videos of ballot counters dismissed as innocent behavior — not misconduct:  Officials.  Georgia election officials are offering verified explanations for what they say is innocent behavior — and not misconduct — by ballot counters as viewed on surveillance camera video on Election Day.  Video snippets from the hectic ballot-counting room at the State Farm Arena for Democrat-rich Fulton County have sparked conservatives' allegations of vote tampering to deliver defeat to President Trump and an 11,779-vote victory to President-elect Joseph R. Biden.  Among the most recently aired clips on some news websites show a female poll worker allegedly inserting ballots multiple times through a Dominion Voting Systems high-speed scanner.  It produces the official count in a print-out.  One news organization named the woman and her workmate daughter as doing something unethical.

What Denying Election Fraud Accomplishes.  There were voluminous reports, from eyewitnesses and experts, of widespread election fraud in the so-called battle states and beyond.  Specific allegations were made, and evidence of election rules violations and statistical anomalies were collected.  Yet the courts refused to listen to virtually all witnesses and experts, rejected most of the evidence, and refused to subpoena more evidence requested by the plaintiffs.  Many state government officials and some top representatives of companies supplying voting machines and software categorically denied any election fraud.  So, on the one hand, there is plenty of evidence strongly suggesting that the widely observed election fraud took place during the 2020 presidential elections.  On the other hand, all we have are assurances of the election fraud — deniers that there was no election fraud, which were later changed to admissions that although election fraud did take place, it wasn't large enough to sway the results.  No verifiable facts that would clearly invalidate the specific election fraud allegations were presented to the public as of time of this writing, while quite a lot of obstruction of investigations, like denials to subject the vote-counting software and hardware to examination by independent experts, took place.  Some of this obstruction had all appearances of a cover-up.

A Supreme Court in Hiding is Dangerous for Our Country.  Americans paying attention to the 2020 Election must be baffled by our courts.  A thousand sworn statements about election wrongdoing, bizarre 4 a.m. "vote spikes" for one candidate, hundreds of thousands of ballots driven from one state to the another, counting machines with 68% error rates, etc., etc.  Such claims should at least get a day in court.  Yet so far, they can't get a sniff.  With few exceptions, no state or federal court in our country has had the courage to look at the merits of these claims.  The most significant challenge to our Constitutional Republic since the first Civil War can't get a parking ticket.  The Pennsylvania Supremes liked "laches" or simply put, "you waited too long."  The claim asserted was simple — the Pennsylvania Constitution does not authorize mail-in voting so the legislature can't do it.  (One brave judge said "good point" and was promptly swept away by her betters).  The Pennsylvania Supremes said you had to sue before the election.  Of course, if you had, they would have said "go away you haven't been injured."  Welcome to the legal Land of Oz.  The Michigan Federal Court liked a different spin on "too late."  They used "mootness" which means "too late because the thing you feared already happened and this court can't fix it now."

Big Tech Stole 2020 Election by Weaponizing Platforms.  Big Tech companies, outraged at President Donald Trump's win in 2016, put everything they had into ensuring that he would lose in 2020.  In seven key swing states, one in seven Biden voters (14 percent) said they primarily relied on sites such as Facebook or Twitter for their election news, according to a survey from the Media Research Center conducted by The Polling Company, which polled 1,750 Biden voters in seven swing states.  But on Twitter and Facebook, conservatives, Trump supporters, and news that damaged the Biden campaign were regularly stifled, especially in the months leading up to the 2020 election.  Campaign messages only have value when they are heard.  Trump and his campaign suffered the most in the censorship melee.  Before the election, Twitter and Facebook had censored them 65 times but left former Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee, Joe Biden, unscathed.  Twitter was the bulk of the problem, with 98 percent of all the instances of censorship.

McCarthy Misses the Point in the Michigan Election Audit.  [Andrew] McCarthy says the paper ballots in Antrim County have been subject to bipartisan review.  Not true.  They've been locked away since Election Day, except in one small township where ballots were unlocked for a short time on November 6. That was not a bipartisan review, it was just a re-feeding of the ballots into the same machine.  There was no hand review even of those ballots, bipartisan or otherwise.  But the vote discrepancies in the retabulation gave rise to a lawsuit by William Bailey, a realtor and county planning commissioner.  McCarthy mentions a discrepancy of one vote in a marijuana initiative (still important because it was the difference between the initiative failing and passing), but he completely ignores much larger discrepancies.  Examination of the tabulation tapes revealed transfers of around 600 votes from one candidate to another between the first vote and the recount in some local races that had only a few hundred voters.  That wild inaccuracy and similar one in a different Antrim County township provided the evidence that prompted Judge Kevin Elsenheimer to order the forensic audit of all Antrim County voting machines.  McCarthy has completely ignored the meat of the problem with the voting machines.

Enemies of the country.  In the previous three presidential elections, the total number of votes was between 127 million and 129 million.  In this election, it was 155 million.  This is a 20 percent increase.  The increase for Trump is expected.  He did a great job as president.  The increase for Biden can only be explained as voter fraud.  The people who performed the voter fraud are enemies of the country.  They voted on behalf of others, including dead people.  They brought in suitcases of ballots to be counted after poll watchers were expelled.  They fed ballots into machines multiple times.  They counted invalid ballots.  They programmed voter machines to change the tallies and to reject ballots, so that poll workers could put in what they wanted.  People who do such things are felons.  If one suddenly had an extra million dollars in his possession, the government would see this as sufficient evidence to look for a crime.  Biden's sudden "popularity" is also sufficient evidence to launch an investigation.

"Big Numbers Found In Arizona": Trump Vows to Continue Election Fight.  President Trump has made it clear that he is not giving up on the 2020 election anytime soon.  On Wednesday [12/23/2020], the president unleashed on Twitter, calling for a special counsel to be appointed to investigate "the massive Voter Fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election."  "After seeing the massive Voter Fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election, I disagree with anyone that thinks a strong, fast, and fair Special Counsel is not needed, IMMEDIATELY," President Trump tweeted.  "This was the most corrupt election in the history of our Country, and it must be closely examined!"

The Mushrooming of the 2020 US Election.  On December 23 President Trump made a powerful speech summing up facts behind the purported win by Joe Biden of the US election.  As is normal, the mainstream US media and the Australian media en bloc have ignored or ridiculed this speech.  Their narrative is that Trump is a spiteful and buffoonish loser.  In the real world, a Rasmussen survey showed that only 47 percent of American voters believe that Joe Biden won.  Only 10 percent of Republicans think Biden won fairly.  And these American voters have good grounds for so believing.  Quadrant Online now goes where the rest of the media refuses, and publishes our own and full transcript of Trump's 14-minute address. [...] Here is just one handy fact:  Twitter has censored Trump and his campaign 543 times since May 2018.  Its censoring of Biden:  zero.

After Stacey Abrams Secures 1 Million Mail In Votes, Georgia Secretary Of State Suddenly Sees The Issue.  He has maintained throughout the 2020 General Election and through the vote certification process that there was absolutely no vote fraud across Georgia.  Now, Georgia's Secretary of State tells a Georgia House hearing on election fraud that "no excuse" absentee voting facilitates vote fraud.  Brad Raffensperger (R), Georgia's embattled Secretary of State, did something he has rarely done this election cycle.  He sided with Republicans.  Raffensperger joined his fellow Republicans last Wednesday [12/23/2020] to call for an end to what that state terms "no excuse absentee voting."  This law allows any voter in Georgia to request and submit an absentee ballot without providing justification for why they can't vote in person.

Can Conservatives Stop Their Movement's Descent Into Madness?  My view is that if Trump had actually won the election, he would have been able to prove systemic voter fraud in one of the 58 lawsuits that his supporters have lost.  I believe in the rule of law, and the legal system has rendered its verdict.  It's crazy to go deeper into this rabbit hole, yet the conservative movement has yet to find bottom.

Nobody has rendered a verdict.  No conservative has "lost" a 2020 voter fraud lawsuit, because none have gone to trial.  The news media rendered a verdict on November 4th, but the legal system has not.  President Trump has read the rules and is following them.  The Democrats are playing high-stakes Calvinball.

Reducing the Consequences of Fraud in National Elections.  Thanks to the rampant fraud apparent in the 2020 presidential election, United States citizens have diminished trust in the electoral process.  Changes will be necessary to restore faith in the electoral outcome.  Voter ID laws, purging the deceased from voter rolls, blockchain technology with redundant servers, improved cyber-security, and the like are all possible ways to reduce fraud and should be pursued.  Nevertheless, there is potential that some will still attempt to illegally game an election system that they could not win legitimately.  While it may not be possible to eliminate election fraud entirely, it is relatively simple to reduce the payoff for the effort to become less effective.

Trump: The American David.  A recent poll by McLaughlin & Associates now shows that 4.6% of the Joe Biden's supporters would have voted differently had they known about Biden family corruption.  The media ignored and censored two separate Senate committee reports in September, documenting the details of large payments from numerous foreign government-related entities to Hunter Biden and holding companies under his control, with most fund transfers coming from relationships that originated while Pops Joe served as vice president in the Obama administration.  What this says about the power brokers behind Biden who knew everything about him is that they prefer a weak and compromised leader, who is easier to control and influence so as to assure that their interests and goals are carried out.  They own Joe Biden.  No wonder we are where we are.

Georgia Judge Denies GOP Lawsuit on Drop Boxes, Says State Has Immunity.  A judge from Fulton County which includes Atlanta has dismissed a lawsuit by the Republican Party seeking to limit the use of voter drop boxes for Georgia's two U.S. Senate runoff races saying the state has immunity from being sued, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Thursday [12/24/2020].  Superior Court Judge Kimberly Esmond Adams ruled she doesn't have jurisdiction because of sovereign immunity that protects governments from lawsuits, the Journal-Constitution said.  Republicans had argued that drop boxes should be limited to the same hours as county election offices, which typically close at 5 p.m. on weekdays.  But an attorney for the Georgia secretary of state's office said the state election board approved the boxes to be used at all hours.

Clark County Nevada said to have 70% "adjudication" rate, Same as Antrim County Fraud Machine.  Second Amendment rights, indeed all rights in the Bill of Rights, appear to be up for grabs in this election.  The election results are hotly contested, especially the accuracy and dependability of Dominion voting systems.  A number of reports are circulating around the internet, suggesting that Nevada Dominion vote counting machines have produced similar results to those seen in an Antrim County Michigan forensic audit.  A recap of the Antrim County, Michigan, forensic audit:  Only one county's Dominion voting machines appear to have been subjected to a forensic audit.  The machines in Antrim County, Michigan were audited as part of an inquiry ordered by a Michigan judge, Kevin A. Elsenheimer.  Michigan's Secretary of State, Jocelyn Benson, and Attorney General, Dana Nessel sought to block release of the results of the audit.  Benson and Nessel are hard left Democrats.  Judge Kevin A. Elsenheimer later decided to release the results, which were explosive.

Overcoming the Court's Abdication in Texas v. Pennsylvania.  In refusing to hear Texas v. Pennsylvania, the U.S. Supreme Court abdicated its constitutional duty to resolve a real and substantial controversy among states that was properly brought as an original action in that Court.  As a result, the Court has come under intense criticism for having evaded the most important inter-state constitutional case brought to it in many decades, if not ever.  However, even in its Order dismissing the case, the Supreme Court identified how another challenge could be brought successfully — by a different plaintiff.  This paper explains that legal strategy.  But first we focus on the errors made by the Supreme Court — in the hopes that they will not be made again. [...] Fortunately, that might have been only the first round in the fight to preserve the nation.  A strategy exists to re-submit the Texas challenge under the Electors Clause to the Supreme Court in a way that even that Court could not dare refuse to consider.  Just because Texas did not persuade the Justices that what happens in Pennsylvania hurts Texas does not mean that the United States of America could not persuade the justices that when Pennsylvania violates the U.S. Constitution, it harms the nation.

Conservative Legal Team Sues Mike Pence, Demands He Reject Unconstitutional Electoral College Slates.  In one of the most potent lawsuits to reach the US Supreme Court, the Amistad Project has filed a lawsuit on a point of constitutional order that would force the President of the Senate — Vice President Mike Pence — to remand the Electoral College votes of five states to their respective legislatures for certification.  The Thomas More Society's Amistad Project filed a lawsuit on December 22, 2020, claiming that a several federal and state laws, some enacted under the guise of COVID protection, had unconstitutionally and illegally delegated the authority of the various state legislatures to certify Electoral College votes to state executive branches.  The Amistad Project is arguing that the state legislatures of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, and Arizona — by virtue of this unconstitutional transfer of power, were prohibited from exercising their rightful power under the US Constitution to certify the presidential Electors' votes cast on December 14, 2020, in their respective states.

Voter Fraud On Display:  Houston Ballots All Have Same Signature and Same Address.  The voter fraud in this year's presidential election was widespread and extensive.  Instead of asking where was the fraud?  The real question is where was there NO fraud?  Democrats used every trick in their book to steal votes and manufacture ballots.  Here is the latest proof of voter fraud in Texas.  Democrats manufactured votes — in the same city, in the same handwriting and at the same address.

Why Sidney Powell gets the Galileo treatment.  Observers of human history might have to go back all the way to Galileo to find a ruling class as determined to cancel someone as much as today's is to cancel Sidney Powell in response to her single-minded devotion to bringing the truth of the full scale of the 2020 election fraud to light.

It's for Mike Pence to Judge whether a Presidential Election Was Held at All.  On January 6, a joint session of Congress will open with Vice President Pence presiding as president of the Senate.  His power will be plenary and unappealable.  You heard that right.  As president of the Senate, every objection comes directly to him, and he can rule any objection "out of order" or "denied."  His task will be to fulfill his oath of office to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and to ensure that the laws be faithfully executed.  This is a high standard of performance, and V.P. Pence will have two choices.  He can roll over on "certified" electors, or he can uphold the law.

Can A Homeless Beggar Save The Republic?  Over the next two and four years, there need to be very serious criminal investigations at the state level into voter fraud (State's Rights!).  It is the State that is the sovereign entity.  I am not proposing federal investigations.  While it would be nice to believe that the federal government would successfully prosecute vote fraud, I think we have all seen the problems that the apparatchiks among the federales have in prosecuting even Chinese spies sleeping with the Intel committee.  If they can't even do that, do you really think they'll grasp ballot box stuffing in Detroit?  Many states and a large number of counties, legislatures, municipalities are clearly in the hands of the good people.  Do not talk down the country by indulging in the emotionally hyperbolic claim that "It is all corrupt."  That's a lie.  That may feel self-validating, but it is counterproductive when it comes to helping the adults fix the problems.  The main problem with state-level authorities is that, as a habit, they usually look to higher-authorities to do anything significant.  That's what 2020 requires us to change.

Rudy Giuliani Speaks Out During Christmas Address.  During a Christmas address, former New York City mayor and President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani spoke out about the path forward regarding President Trump's 2020 election fight.  "I can report to you not the final result but we are well beyond the point that would change the election," Giuliani said while discussing the vote margin in Wisconsin.  "Remember, only 10,000 in Wisconsin."  "So starting after Christmas this is really going to blow up because the evidence that all these crooked television networks, newspapers, big tech and the leadership of the Democrat party have been giving you is false and you are going to find it out all at once.  It is going to be very shocking to the country."

U.S. Supreme Court Pushes Off Pennsylvania Case Until After Inauguration Day.  Jonathan Turley:  "Inaugurations are like cats:  it is hard to get either to walk backwards."

The Smartest Man in the World — IQ 200 — Is Convinced The U.S. Election Was Stolen.  Christopher Langan is well renowned as the Smartest Man in America and indeed perhaps the world.  Now, he's railing against the alleged election fraud that "delivered" the race for Joe Biden.  Langan, 68, tweeted this week:  "Many citizens, including me, won't accept cheating scoundrels like Biden or Harris as leaders.  Best get ready for trouble."  [Tweet]  He also shared his view that there may need to be a second, what he calls "corrective," election:  "Erasure or concealment of evidence is grounds for a second (corrective) election.  There's no way to legitimately certify an election in which crucial information has been deliberately destroyed, or in which corrupt officials and judges refuse to let the evidence be duly examined."

Democrat Whistleblower Alleges Texas Democrats Conducted Voter Fraud Operation.  Former regional political director for Beto O'Rourke and Democrat political strategist Damien Thaddeus Jones has come forward, alleging that a massive voter fraud ring was taking place in Harris County, Texas.  Thaddeus Jones claims the operation was overseen by Texas Political Director for the Joe Biden presidential campaign Dallas Jones.

NY#22 still counting votes 50 days after the election, Dem leads 0.00004%.  New York Congressional District Rep. Anthony Brindisi took a lead of fourteen votes over his Republican challenger Claudia Tenney, who held the lead all along.  The next hearing will likely take place on January 4.  Hundreds of votes still remain uncounted.  Three dead people can't be counted, but there was confusion over it since they voted and then died.  Under New York election law, an early ballot doesn't count if the voter dies before the election.  "You need to be a registered voter to vote, and upon death, you cease to be registered," Madison County Election Commissioner Laura Costello said.

The Editor says...
A person who does not expect to live beyond Election Day should not vote; however, if a person who voted legally dies shortly after voting, that vote is still valid.  It may be true that a deceased person is no longer registered, but after voting legally on Election Day, that is immaterial.

That's a Lot of People Who Think the 2020 Election was Stolen in Some Way.  A new poll from Rasmussen showed that roughly half the country thinks the election was stolen from Trump in some way.  Even with the Trump campaign being unable to successfully argue mass fraud in the courts based on what they thought was solid evidence, half the country still thinks there was fraud.

Giuliani Makes Bombshell Accusation Against Voting Machines.  During an interview with "Bernie and Sid" on WABC, former New York city mayor and President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani made a bombshell accusation when he claimed that the voting machines were "programmed" to give former Vice President Joe Biden the advantage. [...] Rudy said to the WABC audience, "We believe from what we saw in Michigan that the machines have an inaccurate vote — that they're programmed to give Biden somewhere between a 2% and 5% advantage."

What are the new SCOTUS justices thinking?  There is overwhelming and undeniable evidence that massive amounts of fraud were committed in the recent presidential election.  That fraud not only harmed other states that did conduct free and fair elections, but also harmed the people within those swing states whose votes were negated.  Laws have been broken, and, unfortunately, the Department of Justice is shirking its duty to even investigate those lawbreakers, much less prosecute.  So it seems that it is only the conservative justices on the Supreme Court who can protect our Constitution.

Trump Campaign [Debuts] New Ad About Alleged Voter Fraud in Swing States.  The Trump campaign on Wednesday [debuted] a new ad about alleged voter fraud that took place in the swing state of Georgia on Election Day.  "America deserved an honest election.  This is what they caught," the voice over says as footage pans to security footage allegedly showing suitcases of ballots being wheeled into the ballot counting area.  "Suitcases of ballots and out of state voters and illegal aliens voting, dead people voting in Wisconsin, poll watchers denied access in Pennsylvania, Trump votes discarded in Arizona, and clerks facing felony charges in Michigan."  "The evidence is overwhelming," the ad states.  The voiceover ends the ad by encouraging voters to contact their state legislators and governors to "demand they hear the evidence" to "help President Trump."

President Trump:  A Strong, Fast, and Fair Special Counsel Is Needed, Immediately!  There have been rumors the past two weeks that President Trump is considering appointing a Special Counsel to investigate the massive amount of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.  Instead of "discovering" 500 secret ballots in a car trunk like the good old days, Democrats instead shut down counting, dumped hundreds of thousands of illicit ballots, and then shut off the counting rooms from GOP observers for up to 48 hours.  Democrats cheated.  The evidence is legion.  And the Pravda mainstream media REFUSES to report on ANY of these hundreds of incidents and affidavits.

Pro-Trump suit demands governors open legislatures to vote on electors.  A new suit from the pro-Trump Amistad Project has filed suit in Washington to require five governors open their legislatures to vote on presidential electors, another long-shot play to potentially overturn Joe Biden's victory.  The suit, filed Tuesday [12/22/2020] in U.S. District Court in the District, demands that legislatures in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin be allowed to certify electors prior to congressional certification in January.  Governors in those states urged legislatures to shut down due in part to COVID-19 concerns, and legislative leaders agreed.  Legislatures in states such as Pennsylvania closed before this month's planned vote to certify electors, dashing the Trump Team's hope of having lawmakers in GOP-controlled bodies pick those voting in the Electoral College, which eventually chose Biden.  Amistad said that state legislatures have the constitutional duty to approve the electors and should reopen to do so instead of letting the presidential election results stand.

Wayne County's election was certified only after canvassers were threatened.  The election in the largest county in Michigan was won by Biden after two canvassers were threatened and doxed.  One canvasser was sent [a picture of] the nude mutilated body of a dead woman and the other had to go into hiding.  Two canvassers in Wayne County, Michigan, received death threats for refusing to certify the election.  They only relented after hours of sustained threats and abuse and a promise to investigate the election.  After the officials reneged on the promise to investigate, the two canvassers tried to rescind their certification, which led to more threats and abuse.

Election fraud deniers gaslight an entire nation.  With the rest of you, I sat in stunned silence seeing everything collapse that we trusted in.  I don't know if it was the sight of those unexplained and mathematically impossible vote changes we all saw in the dead of night.  Or videos of GOP delegates locked out of their counting stations.  Or thousands of individuals with no ballots, ballots already filled in, or finding that their dead parents had voted for years.  Perhaps it was testimony of election officers and post office workers fearful for their jobs or their lives.  More likely the thing that shook to my core was the droning sound of governors, secretaries of state and legislators almost chanting their denials in unison.  They didn't see it.  They don't acknowledge the thousands of complaints.  Millions of us protesting don't even exist!  We are a figment of their imaginations, poor mad things.  These were the people we trusted in high places.  We gave them our confidence and left them responsible for the nation.  We trusted them for news so we could make a living, assuming they were as professional and as just as we were in our pursuits.  That was a grave mistake.

Georgia Secretary of State Calls to End No-Excuse Absentee Voting.  Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Wednesday joined other Republicans in calling to end the state's current practice of allowing all voters to submit absentee ballots without giving a reason why they cannot vote in person.  He said that the system, referred to as "no-excuse" absentee voting, "opens the door to potential illegal voting, especially in light of the federal rules that deny us the ability to keep voter lists, registration files, clean."  Raffensperger's remarks were made at a hearing before the state Houses's Governmental Affairs Committee and comes as his office continued to dismiss claims that there was any widespread fraud or irregularities in the November election.  Many states across the country implemented no-excuse absentee voting ahead of the November election, saying that it enables voters to bypass physical polling sites amid the pandemic caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus.  Georgia, however, has had no-excuse absentee voting for 15 years.

2020 Election Screaming Red Flags That Deserved Criminal Inquiry.  The presidential election is no casual, unimportant event.  Polling shows that, today, the public's confidence in the 2020 elections, polling, law enforcement, media, and government are largely shaken.  For that reason, the widespread claims of election irregularities and fraud should have been taken more seriously by government officials and law enforcement, and promptly and aggressively investigated.  Today, there are hundreds of witnesses, declarations, sworn statements, and videos that continue to raise questions about the integrity of the results.  It's untrue that most of the claims have been dispelled by courts.  By and large, there's been no opportunity for witnesses to testify or present evidence to a judge or jury.  More importantly, perhaps, there's been no way to collect evidence of alleged fraud without the tools of a criminal inquiry, such as subpoenas, depositions, and the ability to compel forensic exams.  If legitimate and transparent investigations were to find the witnesses who claim fraud or irregularities are mistaken or not telling the truth, the inquiries would serve the crucial purpose of assuring the public that the claims were thoroughly investigated but found to be unsupportable or false.

Arizona Judge Dismisses Lawsuit to Enforce Subpoenas for Election Record, Opens Opportunity for Refile.  A Maricopa County Superior Court judge on Wednesday [12/23/2020] dismissed a lawsuit by Arizona Senate's Republican leadership seeking to get access to the county's voting equipment and materials before Congress counts electoral votes.  The lawsuit was filed Monday by Arizona Senate President Karen Fann and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Eddie Farnsworth.  It demanded Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Randall Warner force the county to comply with two subpoenas regarding election data no later than Dec. 29, citing complaints from citizens with concerns that their votes weren't properly counted.  In the Wednesday decision Warner dismissed the case, saying that a writ of mandamus — a court order to force government officials to properly fulfill their official duties — is not a "proper remedy" for the enforcement of legislative subpoenas.

Mike Pence is being held out as the potential savior of a fair election.  For the most part, Americans assume that the Vice President lacks power.  The President may assign him responsibilities, but the Constitution does not.  Instead, he's the understudy, there just in case something happens to the president.  Except that, in this strange year of 2020, we may learn that the Vice President is the most powerful man in America.  Ivan Raiklin, a constitutional lawyer, claims that the Constitution grants Mike Pence the power to overturn a manifestly fraudulent election.  On December 22, Raiklin sent out a tweet urging Pence to inform the Secretaries of State in those six contested states that, despite overwhelming evidence of fraud, certified Electors, that he cannot accept those certifications because the electors were not legally appointed.  The tweet has attached a memorandum for President Trump that purports to come from the White House itself, for it's written on what appears to be official White House letterhead.

Thanks, Dems, for stealing Christmas.  On election game day, Trump went into the locker-room at halftime with an enormous lead.  Trump was five touchdowns ahead.  During marching band performance, the crack Fox News announcers declared Biden the winner in Arizona and stabbed Trump in the back.  When Trump returned to the field of battle, he was losing by three touchdowns.  This was obviously impossible but the Dems in the stands on the opposite side of the field cheered Biden's sudden and miraculous good fortune.

Why Democrats Should Read the Navarro Report.  Americans increasingly live in two parallel universes, and this is a shame.  One side takes it as Gospel that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won an overwhelming victory on November 3 and will take the oath of office on January 20.  Another half of the population — according to a recent Rasmussen poll — believes that Donald Trump won the highest number of votes in history for the re-election of a sitting president and was cheated out of victory by overwhelming and widespread election shenanigans.  An earlier poll found that even 30% of Democrats said it was likely or somewhat likely that the election was "stolen from Trump."  As former U.S. Senate Patrick Moynihan used to say before the era of Big Tech, you're entitled to your own opinion, but not your own set of facts.

Why I will not accept Joe Biden as president.  [Scroll down]  The election process itself was the final straw in creating the crisis of confidence which is accelerating and deepening for many millions of Americans.  Aside from a constant stream of allegations of outright fraud, there are some specific outrages — any one of which was likely enough to swing the entire election.  Officials in virtually every swing state broke their states' own laws to send out millions of ballots or ballot applications to every registered voter.  It was all clearly documented in the Texas lawsuit, which was declined by the U.S. Supreme Court based on Texas' procedural standing — not the merits of the case.  That's the election.  In addition, it's clear that virtually every swing state essentially suspended normal requirements for verifying absentee ballots.  Rejection rates were an order of magnitude lower than in a normal year.  In Georgia, rejection rates dropped from 6.5% in 2016 to 0.2% in 2020.  In Pennsylvania, it went from 1% in 2016 to .003% in 2020.  Nevada fell from 1.6% to .75%.  There is no plausible explanation other than that they were counting a huge number of ballots — disproportionately for Mr. Biden — that normally would not have passed muster.  That's the election.

Increasing number of GOP lawmakers to contest Electoral College vote.  President Donald Trump reportedly met on Monday with several House Republicans to discuss a plan to contest President-elect Joe Biden's Electoral College votes as they are certified in Congress Jan. 6.  Since then, a number of GOP lawmakers have pledged to contest the results.

Rage, Rage!  Critics and supporters alike must understand that all of the weapons to fight back against a tyrannical government, either county, state or federal, was written over two hundred years ago in anticipation of a time such as this.  How to handle a corrupt election was covered in the 12th Amendment and requires the President of the Senate (the Vice President) to open the ballots for president and if there is a tie, produced in this case by the alternate electors, "the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President.  But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote[.]"  This gives the Vice President the ability to deny the electors from states who conducted fraudulent elections, or to equally value those representing the current president.  The First Amendment recognizes the right of the people to speak freely and to redress grievances against the government.  What this means, is that the people need to be free to read whatever might be published about the corruption of the government and the government cannot inhibit our ability to do so.  They cannot deny that we gather and demand a redress of grievances and never has there been a more important time to do so.

President Trump Unloads on Brian Kemp Over Signature Verification.  On Wednesday [12/23/2020], President Donald Trump unleashed on Georgia governor Brian Kemp for "slow walking" the signature verification process in the state of Georgia.  The President accused Kemp of not wanting the "results to get out" before January 6th.

2 Wisconsin GOP lawmakers join lawsuit to overturn election results in Wisconsin, 4 other swing states.  Two Republican state lawmakers are suing Gov. Tony Evers as part of a federal lawsuit to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in Wisconsin, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan and Pennsylvania.  Reps.  Jeff Mursau of Crivitz and David Steffen of Howard are plaintiffs in a lawsuit brought in federal court late Tuesday against officials in all five states, including Evers, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Sen. Howard Marklein, who is listed in the lawsuit as Senate majority leader but does not hold that position.  The lawsuit is filed in conjunction with the Wisconsin Voters Alliance, which has been unsuccessful in at least two other lawsuits over the state's election results.  Like other lawsuits filed since President Donald Trump lost reelection, it seeks to challenge the role state legislatures played in certifying the election results.

Amistad Project Says State Legislators, Not Executive, Need to Certify Presidential Electors.  A group has brought a lawsuit seeking to block the counting of Electoral College votes from several contested states when Congress meets in a joint session on Jan. 6.  The Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society filed the lawsuit on Dec. 22 arguing that the state legislatures of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, and Arizona were prevented from exercising their power under the U.S. Constitution to certify the presidential electors' votes cast on Dec. 14.  The group claims that a number of federal and state laws had unconstitutionally delegated the authority of state legislatures to certify these votes to state executive branches.  Under Article II of the U.S. Constitution, presidential electors must be appointed by each state in the manner prescribed by the state's legislature.  The group argues that the provision prevents state legislatures from delegating their power to state executive branch officials as a ministerial duty.

Arizona's GOP Electors File Motion To Intervene In Maricopa County Case.  Arizona's Republican Electors filed a motion to intervene in the case against Maricopa County.  [Tweet]  Arizona's GOP Chair talked more about it in this video:  [Video clip]

All About Smartmatic.  On July 30, 2017, President Nicolas Maduro conjured up a vote to replace the National Assembly (where 67% of the seats were held by opposition representatives) with a new Constituent Assembly whose representatives would be handpicked by Maduro.  The fix was in prior to the vote.  The president and co-founder of Smartmatic, Antonio Mugica, told the press from his office in London three years ago that his company noticed irregularities in voting during Venezuelan national elections three years ago, amounting to about one million ballots cast over the number of actual voters.  Of course, this message was not released until the Smartmatic people left Venezuela.  Why would Mugica stir this up?  Well, most likely, it was because he had not been paid.  He had vast contracts with the Venezuelan government, and Maduro wasn't paying his bills.  The press noise died down shortly thereafter since he was finally paid by Maduro.

NY22: Delayed Time Stamps on Ballots Stored In Jail Cell May Impact Election Outcome.  New York's 22nd Congressional District will begin the next session without a representative because the election is still a mess.  First, it was sticky notes.  Now, it's about time stamps on ballots stored in a jail cell.  You cannot make up this stuff!

Arizona GOP Moves to Intervene in Legal Battle Over Maricopa County Audit.  The Arizona Republican Party has filed a motion to intervene in the lawsuit filed by Maricopa County against state senators, as the county fights against subpoenas to audit voting machines and ballots.  In the 16-page motion obtained by The Epoch Times, Arizona GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward and other Republicans say they have several interests related to the legal battle, including being registered voters in the state.  In addition, there is the issue of dueling electors, with the GOP's slate having cast the vote for President Donald Trump last week.  The complaint "recognizes that the Republican Electors have an obvious interest in any investigation into whether they were improperly deprived of recognition as Arizona's true electors," the motion states.  The only way for the electors to protect that interest "is by helping to ensure that the state legislature gets all of the information it needs to conduct a full and thorough investigation," it adds.

President Trump Gives Update on Fight Against Democrat Voter Fraud in Statement From White House.  President Trump on Tuesday night [12/22/2020] gave an update on his fight against Democrat voter fraud in a statement from the White House.  "The truth is we won the election by a landslide.  We won it big," Trump said.  "By midnight [on Election night] we had a commanding lead in the swing states... these numbers were impossible for Joe Biden to overcome and the Democrats knew it."  President Trump broke down the Democrat voter fraud in all key swing states including Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan and Arizona.  [Video clip]

More GOP Lawmakers Back Electoral College Challenge.  Another member of Congress has pledged to challenge the Electoral College vote submissions when the Joint Session of Congress meets Jan. 6, joining several others who said they will do so.  Rep. Lance Gooden (R-Texas) wrote in a letter to Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) that "I intend to object to the certification of the Electoral College vote submissions on January 6th, and I respectfully ask you to stand with me."  Neither Cornyn nor Cruz have publicly said whether they would challenge the votes.  The process requires at least one House representative and one senator.  "We must stand up for the tens of millions of Americans who want answers to the irregularities surrounding this election," Gooden said in his letter.  "It is our duty to ensure the integrity of our election is unwavering, and the American people deserve to feel confident their vote matters."

Giuliani: Arizona GOP Will Attempt to Certify Trump the Winner of 2020 Election on Wednesday.  President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani said Tuesday morning that the Arizona legislature will attempt to pass a resolution this week demanding a joint session to to certify President Trump as the winner of the 2020 election.  During an interview on Steve Bannon's "War Room:  Pandemic" podcast, Giuliani noted that Arizona lawmakers did not have the votes to declare Trump the winner on Monday, but was hopeful that they would be able to do it on Wednesday [12/23/2020].  "We have three other legislatures that are on the verge of considering or almost doing this," Giuliani noted.  "In the case of Arizona, they're basically two votes away."

Tainted Tallies Tell Tall Tales.  [Scroll down]  Speaking on an episode of War Room:  Pandemic, [Rudy] Giuliani asserted that the American people have not yet had the opportunity to examine evidence that appears to have corrupted some vote counts in key battleground states.  "Facts have been kept from them," Giuliani declared.  "Not a single court decision has had a hearing yet.  They haven't heard from a single witness.  They haven't looked at a single tape.  They haven't listened to a single recording.  There are thousands of them."  Amber Athey voiced the sentiments of many when she wrote, "The media has been claiming since the election ended that President Trump's claims of voter fraud are 'baseless' and 'without evidence'.  That just is not true.  The President's lawyer gave examples of [voter fraud.] ... But everyone is too busy mocking him to pay attention." [...] A December 2020 Fox News national survey of registered voters found that 68% of Republicans, 26% of independents, and 10% of Democrats believe that the election was stolen from Trump.

Yes, It Was a Stolen Election.  As Americans continue to watch the 2020 election controversy unfold, the very same publications that spent years lying about President Trump's "Russia collusion" are once again telling us what we are dutifully supposed to believe.  The Los Angeles Times, for instance, assures us that Trump's "baseless" and "dangerous" claim "that the election was rigged to benefit Joe Biden" has been thoroughly "debunked."  The New York Times proclaims that "Trump's false election fraud claims" are founded upon nothing more than a "torrent of falsehoods."  Sneering at "how Trump drove the lie that the election was stolen," The Washington Post mocks Republicans who "are still pretending that there was election fraud."  And CNN.com warns that "Trump's obsession with overturning the election" has now begun to spiral "out of control."  But so much for what the comic books have to say.  What follows is a compilation of vital facts that will demonstrate, to anyone interested in following the truth wherever it may lead, that the 2020 presidential election was indeed rife with fraud, and that Joe Biden, if he should in fact be sworn into office next month, will be an illegitimate president from the very start.

'There's never been anything like it': Trump alleges voter fraud again.  President Trump alleged voter fraud again on Tuesday night [12/23/2020] from his official presidential podium, saying that he wanted more audits conducted in states where Dominion Voting Systems machines were used to count ballots.  [Tweet]  Trump again claimed that "vote counting abruptly stopped" on election night and that broadly Democrat-leaning "vote dumps" led to his loss, citing the affidavits his campaign has produced in court.  "In Arizona, the state senators recently issued a subpoena for a forensic audit of the voting machines, and similar investigations must be launched in every state using Dominion systems immediately."

Georgia State Senate Report:  Election Results Are 'Untrustworthy;' Certification Should Be Rescinded.  The chairman of the judiciary subcommittee in Georgia that examined evidence of fraud in the 2020 election, has released a scathing 15-page report calling the results of the 2020 election, "untrustworthy" and recommending that the certification of the results be rescinded.  Georgia State Senator William T. Ligon, Chairman of the Election Law subcommittee, reached that conclusion after reviewing the recount process, the audit process, current investigations taking place, and litigation that is moving forward.  His Subcommittee also heard testimonies from witnesses during an open hearing at the Georgia State Capitol on Thursday, December 3, 2020.  "The November 3, 2020 General Election (the "Election") was chaotic and any reported results must be viewed as untrustworthy," Sen. Ligon wrote in his executive summary.

Trump meets U.S. House Republican allies to push voter fraud claims.  U.S. President Donald Trump met a group of Republican lawmakers on Monday [11/21/2020] in his thus-far fruitless bid to gain momentum for claims that the Nov. 3 presidential election won by Democrat Joe Biden was rigged.

How To Steal An Election.  A 3-minute breakdown of the anatomy of a stolen election.  2020 will be remembered as the year open and free elections died, placed in the graveyard where free media and equal justice were laid to rest over the Trump years.  [Video clip]

Sen. Hawley Perfectly Explains Why You Should Never Feel Bad About Questioning the Election.  As Trump voters hold out hope for a miracle — that the Supreme Court will intervene and acknowledge the mountain of evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 election and do something about it — each day that passes seems to make that hope seem further from the realm of possibility.  Should Joe Biden be inaugurated in January, millions of people will not recognize him as being legitimately elected.  The media will mock them, but they have every right to question the results, and therefore the legitimacy of Joe Biden.  Today, Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) summed up perfectly why the media and those who dismiss these legitimate questions about the integrity of our elections are wrong.  Hawley said he'd just spoken with a group of 30 of his constituents, and there was universal concern about what happened in the election.

Election Fraud Update for December 21, 2020.  At this point, I believe there's less than a 1% chance that the election fraud is overturned and Donald Trump sworn into a second term on January 20.

Will House Democrats steal a congressional seat in Iowa's 2nd District?  In 1985, Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives decided an election and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) could do it again.  The day after the election in 1984, Republican Richard McIntyre was ahead of incumbent Democrat Frank McCloskey by 34 votes and after the state's recount, McIntyre's lead grew to 418 votes.  In the weeks following the election, McIntyre was certified the winner of Indiana's 8th District.  But come January 1985, House Democrats refused to seat McIntyre.  Instead, McCloskey filed a federal contest with the House and Democrats sent a partisan task force to Indiana.  They then determined ballots not valid under Indiana law should have been counted.  They changed the rules.  Under the new rules, McCloskey was now ahead by 4 votes.

Georgia Sends Letters to Thousands of Out-of-State Voters Who Asked for Mail Ballots.  Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger sent letters to approximately 8,000 people who live outside the state but requested mail-in ballots, he announced Monday [12/21/2020].  "Qualified Georgians and only Georgians are allowed to vote in our elections," the Republican said in a statement.  "I have said many times that I will not tolerate out of state voters attempting to undermine the integrity of the vote in Georgia.  Let this be a warning to anyone looking to come to Georgia temporarily to cast a ballot in the runoffs or anyone who has established residence in another state but thinks they can game the system: we will find you and we will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law."  The people receiving the letters filed notice with the U.S. Post Office that they currently live out of state.

Former Wisconsin Judge: 'Our Court System Has Been Deeply Intimidated by the Left'.  A former judge from Wisconsin, who is now representing the Trump campaign in the state, told lawmakers this week that he believes intimidation by the left has prevented lawyers and judges from accepting and hearing election fraud cases.  "We have to acknowledge that the court system has been deeply intimidated by the left, just as the lawyers have been intimidated," James Troupis told the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Wednesday.  "And that's a sad, sad state of affairs."  The committee was conducting a hearing that explored voting "irregularities" from the 2020 general election.  During the hearing, witnesses testified about a litany of alleged instances of election fraud occurring in multiple contested states.

You Can't Sue Over Election Fraud Before, During or After the Election.  When should you file a lawsuit over an election?  If you're a Democrat, the answer is at any time.  But if you're a Republican the answer is never. [...] There's no standing to sue over an election before it happens because then it's speculative "theories of potential future injury", nor can you sue while an election is underway.

Ken Starr to Senate:  Pennsylvania 'flagrantly violated' laws ahead of presidential election.  At a Senate oversight committee hearing on Wednesday [12/16/2020], chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) said that experts must be given the opportunity to examine and investigate the Dominion Voting Systems machines used during the 2020 presidential election.  "The most difficult allegations to assess involve vulnerabilities in voting machines and the software used," said Johnson during his opening statement.  "In order to effectively determine the extent to which voting machines were subject to nefarious intrusion or other vulnerabilities, computer science experts must be given the opportunity to examine these allegations," he continued.  Johnson cited letters from his Democratic colleagues that questioned the safety and security of Dominion Voting System machines.

[The] Trump campaign [is] independently filing with [the] Supreme Court over election results.  The Trump campaign issued its first independent filing with the Supreme Court on Sunday [12/20/2020], in hopes of reversing actions taken by Pennsylvania's high court.  The campaign aims to reverse three Pennsylvania Supreme Court cases that changed the state's mail balloting law immediately before and after this year's election.  "This petition follows a related Pennsylvania case where Justice Alito and two other justices observed 'the constitutionality of the [Pennsylvania] Supreme Court's decision," President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani said in a statement, referring to extending the deadline of mail-in ballots from 8 p.m. on Election Day to 5 p.m. three days later.  Trump's team claims there is a "strong likelihood" Pennsylvania's high court violates the Constitution and says decisions by the Pennsylvania Legislature on mail-in ballots led to fraud.

"We Are Actually Very Close": President Trump Gives Big Update on 2020 Election Fight.  During an interview on Sunday morning [12/20/2020] on WABC Radio's "Uncovering the Truth" with Dr. Maria Ryan and Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump gave an update on the 2020 election fight.  The president talked about his efforts relating to uncovering voter fraud in battleground states, specifically Democratic controlled cities.

Peter Navarro Discusses His 2020 Election Report, The Immaculate Deception.  White House Senior Trade, Manufacturing and Policy Advisor to President Trump appeared on Fox News [12/20/2020] with Jesse Watters to discuss his own report on the 2020 election and manipulation by a few regional officials.  [Video clip]  Within the report Navarro outlines the issues at stake within several key states in the election contest.  The report highlights several troubling issues related to the way mail-in, potentially fraudulent ballots, were handled in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin Nevada and Pennsylvania.  Within those states the activity by regional officials is critical to understanding the controversial post-election-day outcomes.

Trump should call for an emergency session of Congress.  There is much anticipation that the alternate slate of (GOP) electors sent to Congress will cause a stalemate, causing the electors not to be confirmed.  It is understood that any senator, and Mike Pence himself, can raise an objection to the confirmation of the Electoral College votes.  This would prompt a trigger that would abandon the Electoral College process and send the decision for president to the House of Representatives, and subsequently the choice of vice president back to the Senate.  The House would not vote on president, but would defer by default to the number of states represented, with Republicans holding 26 and Democrats holding 21.  Following this scenario, Donald Trump is rightfully reinstated as president.  It would also trigger the left, who would re-engage their shock troops (BLM, Antifa, LGBTQ, etc), media sycophants, and Big Tech allies to flood the market with propaganda and violence.  There is even "word on the street" that if this option is triggered, Pelosi, Schumer, or Mark Zuckerberg will engage the U.N. (read: China) to invade the U.S. and force the installation of Joe Biden.

'Vote Reparations': Law School Prof Says Black Ballots Should Count Twice.  In case you haven't figured it out yet, so-called "social justice" efforts aren't aimed at righting ongoing wrongs of "systemic" inequality and racism because they don't exist.  Rather, those efforts are designed to enact official policies aimed at achieving vengeance against white people in America for things literally none of them have done to persons of color, ever.  Accepting that will help you understand such blatantly racist 'recommendations' that are supposedly designed to bring about 'equality,' when really they're just designed to cancel out the white majority (many of whom already vote with the left as it is).  Writing in the leftist bible The Nation, Brandon Hasbrouck, an assistant professor at Washington and Lee University School of Law, actually proposed allowing black votes to count twice as a means of enacting "vote reparations."  Not even kidding.

He isn't kidding.  This isn't satire.
The Votes of Black Americans Should Count Twice.  Black votes in this country are worth less than white votes.  Joe Biden won the Electoral College because Black voters in Atlanta, Detroit, Milwaukee, and Philadelphia turned out in significant numbers.  But even with overwhelming Black support — 94 percent of Detroit voted for Biden! — the outcomes in Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania were worryingly close.  One core problem is the Electoral College.  Wyoming, which has just 580,000 residents and is 93 percent white, gets three electors because of its two senators and one representative in the House.  By comparison, Georgia's Fifth Congressional District — which includes Atlanta, has 710,000 residents, and is 58 percent Black — has no dedicated electors or senators and can only occasionally overcome the mostly white and conservative votes from elsewhere in the state.  This devaluation of Black votes allows our political system to ignore Black lives, and the consequences are devastating.

The Editor says...
Incremental changes made by the left can only go in one direction.  If black voters are allowed to vote twice next year, they will never be restricted to a single vote ever again.  And as soon as the rest of the country gets used to the idea, the black voters will be allowed to vote three times each.  Then four.  Then, why not ten?  After that, why not allow only blacks to vote?

Redacted Information in Dominion Audit Report Shows Races Were Flipped:  Analyst.  The analyst who led the forensic audit of Dominion Voting Systems in Michigan said on Friday the information state officials pushed to redact shows that the outcomes of races were changed.  "The original report had log evidence that we published in the report to show exactly what we did and exactly the findings.  Now, those did ultimately get redacted.  And so now, the complaint is 'well, but there's no real proof['] and Dominion says 'no, these things can't be done,'" Russell Ramsland Jr. said during a virtual appearance on Newsmax's "Greg Kelly Reports."&nb sp; "But at that point, Dominion's argument is no longer with us.  Dominion's argument is with their own user's manual and their own logs, because the logs — had they been able to be published — show very clearly that the RCV [ranked-choice voting] algorithm was enacted.  It shows very clearly that the error messages were massive.  It was very clearly [sic] that races were flipped," he added.

Biden received 5.6 % more votes in counties using Dominion Voting Systems.  [Thread reader]  This Dominion advantage was observed regardless of the county's majority political party affiliation nor urban, suburban, or rural-area demographics.  Biden over-performed our estimates in "democratic strongholds" — by the same amount he over-performed in "Trump" counties.  The analysis is not directed at a single or handful of counties.  Instead, this information uses data from all counties in the United States to see if there is a discernable widespread pattern involving type of voting machine and vote totals. [...] This indicates that some or all of the Dominion/Hart machines may have been programmed or manipulated to systematically add five plus percentage points to Biden's actual vote count.  Again, the statistical significance level of these results is above 99.9%.

2020: The Year of the Big Fraud.  This was a year in which a number of frauds were exposed:  Election fraud, media fraud, and public health fraud, among them.  Their exposure has stirred outrage and as the year ends, no relief seems in sight.  Many Americans — according to some surveys, a majority — believe that the presidential election was marred by massive fraud in five states without which the President would surely have been re-elected. [...] This leaves the only remaining avenue to affect the genuine choice of the people to the Congress when it must vote on the selection of electors, a procedure clearly permitted by the Constitution.  Will they have the courage to do the right thing?  If they don't, we will see fraudulent elections forever with no judicial redress.

Caught on video:  MI Sec of State Official Tells Volunteers To Count Ballots With The Same Signature.  The Gateway Pundit has done an amazing job covering the massive fraud perpetrated by the left and allowed by spineless RINOs during the 2020 elections.  TGP has obtained video of the fraudulent recount overseen by the MI Secretary of state and it clearly shows a volunteer telling counters to include ballots with the same signature to be counted AGAIN!  In other words, multiple ballots sent by the same person were all counted during the recount.  What else did they include in the original and recount in Michigan?  "We need to do the counts because if we don't have the counts, then we can't move forward.  And we understand that there is a concern with this precinct — but this is not a time for you to be investigating right now."  [Video clip]

Maricopa County Voting Not to Comply With Subpoenas Suggests Something to Hide:  Trump Campaign Adviser.  The Board of Supervisors in the largest county in Arizona voting not to comply with subpoenas to audit election machines and scanned ballots suggests they have information they don't want getting out, a President Donald Trump campaign adviser has asserted.  "That actually seems to be a major miscalculation by the county board of supervisors, because if they had nothing to hide, they would turn it over and say, here's a subpoena, it's a lawful subpoena from the State Senate, then it's turned over," Boris Epshteyn, a campaign adviser, said on "War Room:  Pandemic" on Saturday [12/19/2020].  "What they did instead is waited till the very last hour, and then they went to court to try to squash the subpoena.  So they're trying to do several things here.  They're trying to run out the clock.  And they're trying to not share the information, which, of course raises, the question of, what are they hiding?"  The board is composed of four Republicans and one Democrat.  The board voted 4-1 not to comply with subpoenas issued by the Arizona Senate several days after they were issued.

2020 Election Integrity — A Snapshot Showing Where We Stand.  The issue of election fraud is not new.  The Heritage Foundation's database on this issue shows 1,302 "proven instances of voter fraud" as of this writing.  In 2020, issues of the deceased voting, non-citizens voting, and 120% of registered voter participation in certain counties are just a few examples of election corruption.  The convoluted nature of this election is by design.  The progressive ruling class, under the guise of the coronavirus, flooded the country with unsolicited mail-in ballots.

Joe Biden plans to lecture Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro about the virtues of free and fair elections.  [Scroll down]  Free and fair elections?  From a guy whose presidential "victory" was sealed with Venezuelan Smartmatic technology?  Oh, this is going to be a good one, hearing Maduro's response.  Maduro, like Biden, insists that all was free and fair with the elections in his country.  He's in there despite the shambles he's made of his country, yet somehow Venezuelans can't get enough of him, electing him and his party for six consecutive terms.  That's garbage.  Venezuela's elections since 2004 have all been plagued by allegations of and considerable proof of fraud.  The fraud is forensic, it's statistical, it's in total ballots cast, and it's in the declarations of disinterested international observers.  It's also visible in the behavior of Venezuela's voters, huge numbers of whom don't bother to vote anymore.  Now Joe Biden's going to fix things in Venezuela by offering Maduro a deal — an end to U.S. sanctions in exchange for free and fair elections?  Maduro is going to be laughing up his sleeve.

Rep Gosar says 790,000 votes in AZ were flipped to Joe Biden.  Congressman Paul Gosar (R-AZ) of Arizona's 4th District took to his personal Twitter account on Thursday [12/17/2020] to raise the alarm.  The State of Arizona had 790,000 laundered — stolen votes.  [Tweets]  The video gives a detailed description of how Absentee votes were utilized to tip the scales in Arizona.  The data samples from Absentee ballots counted on Election day versus those counted before show a radical departure in Biden votes by percentage an increase of about 15-20% on Election day versus those counted before.  If all of these ballots came from the same pool of ballots, the data scientists say this would be almost completely impossible.  [Video clip]

National Election Fraud:  Evidence of National Chicanery During America's 2020 Presidential Election.  The basic facts of the 2020 American Presidential election are concerning because mounting evidence indicates there's been a concerted effort by state Democratic Parties to flip the election from President Donald Trump to former Vice President Joe Biden in a number of key swing states with the help of notoriously corrupt Democratic Party machines in at least five American cities — Detroit, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, and Atlanta.  Here are the basic facts of the case:  On Election Night when America went to bed, President Trump had a commanding lead in virtually every swing state, as well as Virginia, which no one expected him to win.  However, when America woke up the next day, we found that he'd lost these leads, largely on the basis of mail-in ballots found in the middle of the night and out from under the watchful eye of legal election monitors.  What's more, these massive caches of votes — almost all of which were for former Vice President Biden — came via large dumps primarily from the five aforementioned cities in states predominantly run by Democratic governors.

The Editor says...
If I am not mistaken, 0.0008 percent is eight parts per million.  That would be the same as one part in 125,000, not one in 250,000.

Maricopa county officials refuse to comply with subpoena of Dominion machines.  Earlier this week we told you that the Arizona Senate was issuing subpoenas for the Dominion voting machines in Maricopa county.  That happened, but the Maricopa Board of Supervisors is refusing to comply with the subpoena and is filing a complaint to contest the subpoena instead:  [Video clip]  In the video, the vice chairman makes a motion to authorize the county attorney to respond to the subpoena with a complaint in Superior Court, and that motion is quickly seconded and the motion is passed.  The Senate will be getting a letter from the county attorney, but no Dominion voting machines.  Which would seem to speak volumes about the data on those machines.  Meanwhile, I'm sure the machines themselves are getting a good scrubbing.

Georgia Poll Workers Who Raised Election Concerns Get Terminated.  Poll workers in Georgia who raised concerns about election irregularities were informed this week that their contracts are not being renewed, according to letters obtained by Epoch Media Group.  Bridget Thorne and Susan Voyles say they witnessed abnormal actions taken during the election in Fulton County.  They've spoken to news outlets and state legislators about what they saw.  In the new letters, Dwight Brower, elections consultant for the Fulton County Department of Registration and Elections, informs the women that Georgia law enables officials to appoint poll managers, and managers must be reappointed for each election event.

Peter Navarro:  If Election Investigation Reveals Voter Fraud, 'Americans Deserve a Different Outcome'.  Peter Navarro, an adviser to President Donald Trump and the director of trade and manufacturing policy, released a 36-page report on Thursday detailing the alleged voting irregularities that took place in the 2020 presidential election.  Navarro presented an outline of the report in a press conference Thursday, the purpose of which, he said, was to get the word out to the media, state legislatures, and the courts to ultimately provoke a much broader official investigation of what he called "the immaculate deception" that went on in the 2020 election.

'Arizona Certified Fraudulent Votes' Data Scientists Claim.  Raw data from an API direct feed on election night proves that voter fraud occurred in Arizona, a group of data science experts allege in a new video posted on Rumble Thursday.  The data scientists, who wish to remain anonymous at the present time, flatly claim that "Arizona certified fraudulent votes."  In their video, they highlight four counties in Arizona — Maricopa, Pinal, Coconino, and Pima — that showed anomalous activities on election night, including vote switches (or laundering) on a massive scale.  When votes are tabulated, they shouldn't be added of decremented," the narrator says.  "They shouldn't be switched — either across candidates or within candidates — and if they do switch, there'd better be a good reason for it."

Levin: Election Exposed 'Complete Collapse' of Courts as Check on State Officials.  Conservative commentator Mark Levin said Wednesday that the 2020 presidential election unveiled the "complete collapse" of the courts on state officials taking unconstitutional actions.  "This election has exposed the complete collapse of the judiciary as a check on unconstitutional acts by state officials eviscerating legislative authority under our federal constitution (Art. II, Sec. 1, Cl. 2)," he said.  Levin previously blasted the Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar for violating this constitutional provision by counting votes that arrived following Election Day without valid postmarks.  The author continued Wednesday [12/16/2020] by specifically branding the Supreme Court as partisan after its dismissal of a case contesting the results of the election in battleground states.

7 Takeaways From a Senate Panel's Hearing on Election Fraud.  The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Wednesday [12/16/2020] held its first hearing looking into the issues of vote fraud and other irregularities surrounding the 2020 election.  The committee's chairman, Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., defended the hearing against Democratic detractors.  Johnson said the hearing was about ensuring confidence in the electoral system and getting to the facts.  The hearing included testimony from legal and election security experts, as well as from witnesses from the hotly contested states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Nevada.

Executive Order 13848 and the Stolen Election.  [Scroll down]  The path prescribed in Executive Order 13848 relies heavily on the Attorney General.  The hapless Jeff Sessions was in that role when 13848 was signed.  He was replaced on February 14, 2019 by William Barr.  Barr seemed reliable but achieved nothing.  The reason he slow-walked everything, couldn't see corruption in the Hunter Biden laptop etc. became apparent when he recently referred to President Trump as a "deposed king ranting."  Barr outed himself as a Deep State operative too soon, leaves his position on December 23 and so won't be involved in drafting the report in response to the report by the Director of National Intelligence.  The fate of Western Civilisation hangs on such small matters.

Peter Navarro releases 36-page report alleging election fraud 'more than sufficient' to swing victory to Trump.  Director of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy Peter Navarro published a lengthy report Thursday outlining several examples of voting irregularities that are "more than sufficient" to swing the outcome of the election in President Trump's favor.  The 36-page report "assesses the fairness and integrity of the 2020 Presidential Election by examining six dimensions of alleged election irregularities across six key battleground states" and concludes that "patterns of election irregularities ... are so consistent across the six battleground states that they suggest a coordinated strategy to, if not steal the election, strategically game the election process in such a way as to ... unfairly tilt the playing field in favor of the Biden-Harris ticket."  The six dimensions of voting irregularities in the report include: outright voter fraud, ballot mishandling, contestable process fouls

Peter Navarro Issues Report on Voting Irregularities: 'The Emperor, In the Election, Has No Clothes'.  Peter Navarro, who serves as an adviser to President Donald Trump, concluded in a report on the integrity of the 2020 election that the allegations of irregularities are serious enough to warrant an urgent probe and substantial enough to overturn the results.  The findings of the report (pdf), released on Dec. 17 and titled "The Immaculate Deception," support the claim that the election "may well have been stolen" from Trump.  Navarro, who is director of the White House Office for Trade and Manufacturing Policy, produced the report in his capacity as a private citizen.  "If these election irregularities are not fully investigated prior to Inauguration Day and thereby effectively allowed to stand, this nation runs the very real risk of never being able to have a fair presidential election again," Navarro said in the report.  On a call with reporters explaining his findings, Navarro said his role in compiling the report is to say that, "the emperor, in the election, has no clothes."

White House Senior Advisor Peter Navarro Releases Independent Report on 2020 Election.  In his capacity as a private citizen, likely a position related to legal advice from White House counsel, Senior White House Policy Advisor Peter Navarro has released a 36-page report containing a review and summary of findings from the 2020 election.  Within the report [direct pdf here] Navarro outlines the issues at stake within several key states in the election contest.  The report highlights several troubling issues related to the way mail-in, potentially fraudulent ballots, were handled in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin Nevada and Pennsylvania.  Within those states the activity by regional officials is critical to understanding the controversial post-election-day outcomes.

Peter Navarro's report is must-reading to understand the election.  Peter Navarro is the Director of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy.  He's also someone with a clear, logical mind, and a gift for distilling the narrative essence of complicated, disparate facts emerging from the six contested states in this election.  The 30-page report, plus six pages of supporting footnotes, sets out the six different kinds of frauds and explains how they appeared in each state.  It then concludes that, especially given Biden's narrow margin of victory in the contested states, removing the fraudulent votes gives Trump an overwhelming victory and a clear Electoral College win.

Election Outcome Unclear Amid Legal Challenges.  [News links]

California Clearly Violated Election Law — Votes are Invalid.  California has been mostly absent from the discussion of election law violation, but new information reveals that wording legally required to be on its ballots was missing, in direct violation of its own state law.  This means the ballots should not have been cast or counted, yet California certified its ballots, and thus illegally cast its electoral votes for Joe Biden.  Let's be clear about something:  Our nation's founders tried for years to work out their differences with England's King George.  But George was a tyrant, and a war broke out that lasted eight years.  After that war, our founders avoided creating a government that was ruled by a man — they decided to be governed by laws.  Unfortunately, we now have states ignoring their own state and federal election laws, and by disregarding these laws, their election results must be nullified.  Either that, or we're no longer a country governed by laws.

Salvaging the 2020 Election.  The November election is shaping up to be a repeat of the one in 2000 when recounts of the presidential vote tally dragged on for five weeks.  There's even a new website called "The Recount."  But it's not a recount that Americans are being conditioned to accept as normal, this time it's the initial count.  It's the initial vote count that Democrats want to drag on and on; perhaps past the Electoral College deadline in December and even past Inauguration Day in 2021.  And if the initial counting drags on for long enough, there won't be time for any recounts.  That's because just like the proverbial show, the government must go on.  And you can take this to the bank:  if the counting produces a Biden win, Democrats will declare victory and attempt to stop the counting cold.

Is Trump winning the fraud argument?  While a Tuesday [12/15/2020] Pew Research Center survey said that it was mostly Republicans who believed that fraud occurred, the new McLaughlin & Associates poll found that all voters, by a 46%-45% margin, believed that there was fraud.  Beyond that, Rasmussen now reports that 52% of Likely U.S. Voters believe that the media hid the Hunter Biden scandal to help his father's presidential campaign.

Heated Senate Hearing on 2020 Election:  "Transparency is Not Political".  The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee chaired by Ron Johnson (R-WI) held a hearing on election security and administration issues Wednesday.  Johnson said on Tuesday that the purpose of the hearing was to "examine the irregularities in the 2020 election" because "a large number of Americans simply don't think this was a legitimate election."  Johnson declared that the hearing "should not be controversial," maintaining that it is important to the American people to see the results of elections as trustworthy.  He also described how difficult it has been for him and Senator Grassley (R-IA) to make public their legitimate evidence of the "conflicts of interest in foreign financial entanglements involving the Biden family" due to significant suppression and censoring by the legacy media.  He recounted how frustrating it has been to witness "the corrupt investigation and media coverage of the Russian collusion hoax."  He explained that it is behavior like this that has led to a climate of hyper-partisanship and distrust.

A not-so-loony look at 2020 election results in battleground states.  The Electoral College formally affirmed Joe Biden's victory Monday [12/14/2020], but President Trump fights on, much like the Black Knight in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" who won't give up, even when his arms and legs have been chopped off. [...] On Trump's side, in his fruitless efforts to overturn the election result, are most of the 74.2 million Americans who voted for him, along with 126 House Republicans who signed on to the Texas lawsuit rejected by the US Supreme Court last week.  Most of the rest of the country thinks they're all loonies.

Lt. General Michael Flynn Outlines Some Steps President Trump Could Take Facing Evidence of Election Fraud.  Former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn appears on Newsmax television to give his opinion about what options are available to President Trump in the face of evidence the 2020 election was manipulated by regional officials in some key states.  Some of the options outlined by Flynn are very aggressive and most are very deliberate.  It remains to be seen what path President Trump may consider, but Flynn outlines some possibilities.  [Video clip]

State of Georgia Issues Huge Announcement, Will Conduct Statewide Signature Audit.  In a shocking announcement, the Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced that the state of Georgia would be conducting a statewide audit after receiving pressure from the Trump campaign.  "We are confident that elections in Georgia are secure, reliable, and effective," Raffensperger said in a statement.  "Despite endless lawsuits and wild allegations from Washington, D.C. pundits, we have seen no actual evidence of widespread voter fraud, though we are investigating all credible reports.  Nonetheless, we look forward to working with the University of Georgia on this signature match review to further instill confidence in Georgia's voting systems."

The Editor says...
[#1] The confidence of the voters is not increased because of the involvement of a university, since universities are left-wing indoctrination centers where conservative thought is all but forbidden.  [#2] It is not possible "to further instill confidence in Georgia's voting systems" in those of us who have no confidence in Georgia's system.

Senator James Lankford Outlines Concerns With Voter Confidence in 2020 Election Outcome.  During a Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee hearing on Wednesday, December 16, 2020, Senator James Lankford delivered remarks and questions about how the American electorate has lost confidence in the election process.  The Committee discussed several irregularities in the 2020 election, and Lankford encapsulated the need for states can protect against election fraud moving forward.  However, the bigger question remains:  is it too late?  [Video clip]

The audit in Arizona.  [Scroll down]  The first subpoena will make sure that fake ballots were not scanned, and if they were, they can be invalidated so that a new correct count can be done.  The second subpoena will next look at the Dominion tabulators to see if they were correctly tabulating the count.  If it finds that they were counting the ballots scanned correctly, that will be wonderful news.  If it is instead found that they were not, than a manual hand count will be required, and this evidence will further confirm the allegations in other states that these machines are unreliable and might even be designed to defraud the vote.

Georgia announces signature matching review in all counties.  Georgia officials on Thursday [12/17/2020] conceded to requests for a statewide check of signatures on mail-in ballots after President Trump repeatedly asked for the study.  Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced the review of absentee ballots in all 159 counties, saying the move is an attempt to rebuild trust in the election process.  Mr. Trump has vilified Mr. Raffensperger, a Republican, for not doing more to overturn the Nov. 3 results in which President-elect Joseph R. Biden became the first Democrat to win Georgia in a presidential election since 1992.

'Theft By A Thousand Cuts' Report Conclusive On Election Fraud, Slams Media Cover Up.  A new report detailing massive fraud plaguing the 2020 election alleges there was a widespread, "theft by a thousand cuts" strategy "across six dimensions and six battleground states." The report cites comprehensive evidence, and blasts the media for its failure to cover the matter accurately.  In the report, Peter Navarro, also a White House Trade Adviser, outlines a "coordinated strategy to effectively stack the election deck against the Trump-Pence ticket" occurring in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

Dueling Electors and the Upcoming Joint Session of Congress.  Presidential candidates in the United States win elections by winning the most electoral votes.  The Electoral College system apportions a certain number of votes to each state.  When voters in a state vote for a party's candidate, they're actually casting a vote for that party's slate of electors, or people chosen to cast electoral votes.  Those electoral votes are counted by Congress.  If a candidate gets 270 or more, they win the presidency.  In seven states on Dec. 14, a slate of Democratic electors chose Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.  Republican electors, even though Biden was certified as the winner in the states, also cast votes for President Donald Trump.  The phenomenon created seven sets of so-called dueling electors, or alternate slates.  Both groups are sending certificates of ascertainment to Congress, which is slated to convene in a joint session on Jan. 6, 2021, to count electoral votes.  Dueling electors are highly unusual, but they have happened in U.S. history.  The last time was in the 1960 election, when the governor of Hawaii certified electors for Republican Richard Nixon.  Democratic electors cast their votes for Democrat John F. Kennedy.

Gateway Pundit Requests 3:30 AM TCF Center Footage of Detroit's Biden Ballot Dump.  The media keeps telling us there was absolutely no fraud.  But we also know that President Trump was leading Joe Biden in Michigan alone by over 100,000 votes on election night when suddenly Biden received 150,000 votes in less than one minute at 6:31 in the morning.  In Wayne County, the election night counting of absentees was happening at the TCF Center, formerly known as Cobo Hall.  This is the site where Detroit City Officials put cardboard over the windows to prevent the GOP from seeing in, where poll workers were militantly hostile to the GOP, and where hundreds of affidavits claim they witnessed voter fraud.  And until now, no one has bothered to review the video footage.

Sidney Powell Case Has Allegedly Made it to Supreme Court Docket.  According to new revelations, Trump ally and attorney Sidney Powell's case against the state of Michigan has officially made it to the Supreme Court docket.  A week and a half ago, an Obama-appointed judge in Michigan dismissed Powell's case against the state, claiming it was "An Amalgamation of Theories, Conjecture, and Speculation"[.]  Now, it appears that the case has made it to the SCOTUS docket.

The Immaculate Deception:  Six Key Dimensions of Election Irregulatories.  This report assesses the fairness and integrity of the 2020 Presidential Election by examining six dimensions of alleged election irregularities across six key battleground states.  Evidence used to conduct this assessment includes more than 50 lawsuits and judicial rulings, thousands of affidavits and declarations, testimony in a variety of state venues, published analyses by think tanks and legal centers, videos and photos, public comments, and extensive press coverage.

More voters agree there was election fraud.  For the second day in a row, a new voter survey has found support for President Trump's vow to fight on with his challenge to the election, with more believing that it was plagued with fraud.  While a Tuesday [12/15/2020] Pew Research Center survey said that it was mostly Republicans who believed that fraud occurred, the new McLaughlin & Associates poll found that all voters, by a 46%-45% margin, believed that there was fraud.  That surprised the pollsters, especially since they also reported that more in the survey voted for Joe Biden over Trump.  "Among American voters the majority is not convinced that voter fraud did not occur in their presidential election.  It is important to note that the poll model reflects the national popular vote of 51% Biden, 47% Trump," Jim and John McLaughlin said in a Newsmax column.

The Institutionalization of Election Fraud.  Many Americans, including this writer, contend that the 2020 presidential election is being stolen.  About 70 percent of Republicans and even some Democrats believe that such a theft is happening.  But despite considerable evidence, they cannot prove their case and put a number on the full extent of this alleged fraud.  Other Americans contend that the 2020 presidential election is not being stolen, and they, too, cannot prove their case. [...] When I see those huge rooms filled with people (supposedly) verifying the legitimacy of signatures, I just shake my head.  We shouldn't be wasting our time with signature verification.  We should instead require the voter to use his SSN. That little addition to the ballot would obviate the throngs of verifiers, who may well be fraudsters themselves, and it would allow us to secure the vote.

What Can We Do?  [#1] Grousing about the GOP is a pastime.  What's past time is expecting or relying on the Republican Party to fight for us.  It will not.  It's time to organize outside of the hidebound two-party monopoly to build a sustainable, effective grassroots movement that surpasses the Tea Party in scope and strength.  Patriot associations need to form in every county in every state of the nation — most certainly in red counties.  They'd serve as a vanguard.  From these county associations come state organizations.  State organizations would coordinate among themselves to maximize opposition to Washington tyranny;  [#2] A key demand of the associations:  All state election laws that enabled the 2020 elections thefts are to be repealed — not reformed, but repealed.  No more universal mail-in balloting.  Election Day voting only, though absentee balloting for truly exceptional circumstances.  Paper ballots, hand counted.  Voter signature verification mandated.  Full transparency.  Elections integrity is nonnegotiable;  [#3] Where states fail to repeal the means of elections fraud, patriot associations will hold shadow elections.

Signature matching in Georgia doesn't work.  [Tweet]  I tested the signature match for absentee ballots in Georgia and it failed.  I'm tired of the deniers saying there is "no evidence" sig match doesn't work.  Here is your evidence.  Is it any surprise only 2,011 signatures were rejected out of 1,322,529 in November?  We must fix this.

Georgia Secretary of State and State Election Board Changed Absentee Ballot Signature Verification and Added Drop Boxes Without State Legislature's Approval.  As in-person early voting began Monday for the January 5 run off election for two U.S. Senate seats in Georgia, significant changes for absentee ballot signature verification and drop boxes put into place by Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and the State Election Board ahead of the November 3 presidential election without the state legislature's approval are still in place.  Local county registrars began mailing approved absentee ballots to voters for the January 5 run off elections more than three weeks ago on November 18, according to Georgia's election calendar.  Neither (1) the use of drop boxes for voters to deposit absentee ballots nor (2) the current method of absentee ballot signature verification have been authorized by the Georgia General Assembly.

Senator-Elect Tuberville Suggests He'll Join Objection to Electoral Votes.  A Republican who will be in the Senate when Congress meets to count electoral votes next month suggested that he'll join in the planned objection by members of the House of Representatives.  "You see what's coming.  You've been reading about it in the House.  We're going to have to do it in the Senate," Sen.-elect Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) said after speaking at a rally in Georgia.  The video was captured by Democrat activist Lauren Windsor.  Tuberville's campaign hasn't responded to requests for comment on whether he plans to join in objecting to electoral votes on Jan. 6, 2021, in a bid to hand President Donald Trump the election.  Stan McDonald, Tuberville's campaign chairman, said on WVNN radio on Tuesday that Tuberville and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) were "the two best candidates" to challenge the results from the Senate.

Ground Truth:  Pattern Recognition Specialist Says Over 300K PA Mail-In Ballots Never Processed By U[S]PS.  Ground Truth host Sam Faddis talks with Jovan Hutton Pulitzer, pattern recognition specialist and inventor, about allegations of election fraud and how Jovan's technology has the capability to resolve the controversy surrounding mail-in ballots in the recent Presidential election.  All over the country, we hear allegations of vast numbers of ballots that simply appeared at counting centers.  Jovan explains how he can review these ballots en masse and tell us conclusively whether or not they are real and whether they were ever even mailed.  Among the many explosive revelations Jovan makes are that there are somewhere in the neighborhood of 300,000 mail-in ballots that were counted in Pennsylvania and yet do not show up anywhere in the Postal Service tracking system as having been processed.  On the face of it, that is 300,000 ballots that seem to have appeared out of thin-air.  Joe Biden's margin of victory in Pennsylvania, as currently tabulated, is slightly over 80,000 votes.

Reckless Courts Codify Chaos.  Flagrant election cheating in several swing states, it seems, is of no interest to the self-appointed watchdogs of American democracy or even to those specifically tasked with investigating such unlawfulness.  The U.S. Department of Justice, despite its preachy corporate motto, is thus far blind to it.  Journalists and professional pundits on both sides of the aisle downplay talk of what has happened as "baseless conspiracy theories" pushed by cult-like Trump loyalists.  Most Senate Republicans are eager to move on while ignoring provable instances of voting fraud in their own states and urging the president to concede "for the good of the country."  Even with a potentially power-shifting Senate election on January 5, no one seems particularly motivated to quickly remedy how absentee ballots have been mishandled, manipulated, and doctored in the 2020 presidential election.  And the entity usually considered the final and most impartial arbiter of injustice in the country — the court system — now, too, is in on the election fix.

Amistad: 'Bombshell' Antrim Audit May Impact 5 Swing States With Dominion.  The Amistad Project of the non-partisan Thomas More Society is announcing Monday it is demanding the preservation of evidence in five key swing states in response to a bombshell report detailing the results of a forensic audit of Dominion voting machines in Antrim County, Michigan, which was approved for release by 13th Circuit Judge Kevin Elsenheimer.  "We're filing in all swing states a demand that judges step in and preserve evidence to avoid it from being destroyed or spoiled by the intentional or reckless acts of executive officials," said Phill Kline, director of the Amistad Project, which has previously filed election litigation in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.  The report claims the "tabulation log for the forensic examination of the server for Antrim County from Dec. 6, 2020 consists of 15,676 individual events, of which 10,667 or 68.05% of the events were recorded errors."  The Federal Election Commission allows a maximum error rate of just 0.0008%.

Dr. Ayyadurai's Wins Key Victory in Election Fraud Case.  Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai, MIT PhD., scored a major victory in his lawsuit claiming that his campaign for Senator in Massachusetts was fraudulently stolen thanks to Dominion Voting Systems machines used to tabulate and calculate the vote.  Dr. Ayyadurai is well known to TGP readers. [...] Dr. Ayyadurai is David fighting Goliath.  He could not find a lawyer to take his case so he was left to fight alone. [...] Dr. Syyadurai, not a lawyer, faced off with the Secretary of State William Galvin and won the right to present an amended complaint (see Case 1:20-cv-12080-MLW).  Judge D. J. Wolf, the man who put Whitey Bulger in prision, made the ruling.

Rand Paul: Voter fraud 'happened' and election was in 'many ways stolen'.  Sen. Rand Paul railed against voter fraud in the 2020 election during a Senate hearing, saying voter fraud happened and that the election was "in many ways stolen."  "The fraud happened," the Kentucky Republican said during a Wednesday Senate hearing on election security.  "The election in many ways was stolen, and the only way it'll be fixed is by in the future reinforcing the laws."  "We can't just say, 'It didn't happen,'" Paul said about fraud allegations across the country.  "We can't just say, 'Oh, 4,000 people voted in Nevada that were noncitizens, and we're just going to ignore it.'"  President Trump and Republicans nationwide have taken legal action in several states amid accusations of widespread voter fraud, which the president and many of his supporters believe changed the outcome of the race.

Texas AG Paxton:  "We Have to Fight" Mail-in Ballots "or We Lose Credible Elections Forever".  After the Supreme Court refused to take up an election fraud lawsuit by Texas; and beyond the 2020 election result that was determined by the outcome of that election fraud; AG Ken Paxton outlines the need for all states and state AG's to continue fighting against arbitrary mail-in ballot processes.  As Paxton says:  "We have to fight this, or we lose credible elections forever."  [Video clip]

Maria Bartiromo drops the mother of all bombshells.  Every one of us who voted for Trump believes that the only reason Biden appeared to walk away with more votes was because of massive election fraud.  On Tuesday [12/15/2020], during her morning show, Maria Bartiromo dropped what must be, in this crazy year, the mother of all bombshells.  According to Bartiromo, an intel source told her that Trump won the election.  It's now up to the Supreme Court, said the source, to stop the clock from running so that the proper election result can be implemented, returning Trump to the White House.  [Video clip]

The 'tell' missed round the world.  [Scroll down]  Perhaps it hit me a bit more firmly because I had been reading Trump's Executive Order of Sept. 12, 2018.  Crafted more than two years ago — it was incredibly clear to me that Trump and his advisors absolutely anticipated this seditious and massive voter and election fraud.  To me — what we have just witnessed is an insurrection.  I encourage everyone to take some time to read the EO carefully. [...] From my view — this massive insurrection rises well above the bar of high treason.  Director of National Intelligence John Radcliffe has a report due by 12/18 pursuant to Trump's EO.  We may well see that China and other enemy nations conspired with many Democrats and quite a few Republicans as well to overthrow the will of the American people.  This is the end of being beat down.  In the next week or two — I believe we will begin winning far bigger than we've ever won yet.  Very difficult times may lie ahead — yet I feel calm.  America will win — again — and this time, entirely in her own defense.

Executive Order 13848.  Imposing Certain Sanctions in the Event of Foreign Interference in a United States Election

What the American Aristocracy Has Wrought.  In every way that never fails to determine a winner, Donald Trump won the presidency.  Incredibly, no one is interested in investigating.  The only possible conclusion?  The people are no longer in control of electoral politics. [...] The people have long been clamoring for a voice in their government, and they found it in Donald Trump.  Millions rallied to him and loved him, while no one rallied to or loved Joe Biden.  Trump was way ahead on Election Night until the most preposterous behavior in four cities in key states led to a tremendously unlikely outcome.  If it is true that Trump is the rightful winner and has been denied that win by nefarious forces, then we can only conclude that we have lost the republic.  It has been replaced by a malevolent aristocracy, for whom truth and justice have no value, compared to trampling on the civil liberties of their political enemies.

Supreme Court Turns Down Red State Bid to Salvage Proof of Citizenship Voter Law.  The Supreme Court on Monday [12/14/2020] turned down a request to salvage a Kansas law that required residents to provide proof of citizenship when registering to vote, despite pleas from Kansas lawyers and almost 20 red states.  Kansas's red-state allies used the case to mount a broader attack on a legal test that in their view gives judges too much power in election-security disputes.  Former Kansas secretary of state Kris Kobach (R.) championed the law and personally defended it in court against an ACLU lawsuit.  The Secure and Fair Elections (SAFE) Act required Kansans to produce documentary proof of citizenship when registering to vote.  U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson struck the SAFE Act down in 2018.

Vote fraud in Nevada.  [Thread reader]  While the media and Democrats accuse us of 'making it all up' ... our evidence comes from both data scientists and brave whistleblowers.  Here's what we found [in NV]:  Over 42,000 people voted more than once.  Our experts were able to make this determination by reviewing the list of actual voters and comparing it to the list of other voters with the same name, address and DOB.  This method was also able to catch people using different variations of their first name ... as well as individuals who were registered under both a married name and maiden name.  At least 1,500 dead people are recorded as voting, as shown by comparing the list of mail voters with the Social Security Death Records.  More than 19,000 people voted even though they didn't live in NV.  This does NOT include military voters or students.  These voters were identified by comparing the list of voters with the USPS National Change of Address database, among other sources.  About 8,000 people voted from non-existent addresses.  Here, we cross-referenced voters with the Coding Accuracy Support System, which allowed our experts to ID undeliverable addresses.  Over 15,000 votes were cast from commercial or vacant addresses.  Our experts found these voters by analyzing official USPS records that flag non-residential addresses, and addresses vacant for more than 90 days.  Incredibly, 4,000 non-residents also voted, as determined by comparing official DMV records of non-residents to the list of actual voters in the 2020 election.  All in all, our experts identified 130,000 UNIQUE instances of voter fraud in NV, but the actual number is almost certainly higher.

Fox's Maria Bartiromo Sounds the Alarm, Alleges "An Intel Source Told Me President Trump Did, in Fact, Win the Election".  During her morning show on Wednesday [12/16/2020], Fox Business Host Maria Bartiromo alleged that an intel source told her that President Trump did in fact "win the election."  "An intel source told me President Trump did, in fact, win the election.  He says that it is up to the Supreme Court to hear suits from other cases across the country to stop the clock," the award winning host said.  "This follows the high court's refusal to hear the lawsuit from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton."  [Video clip]  Republican Senator Rand Paul is also questioning the integrity of the 2020 election.  During a Senate hearing on Wednesday over election issues, Paul went off, stating that "fraud happened" in the 2020 election.

It's impossible to get away with rigging an election.  [Thread reader]  If this election was rigged by way of rigging 3-4 key swing state cities, as Republicans claim, then this election would've produced a ton of data anomalies and irregularities.  We would expect to see things like:
  •   bellwether counties would suddenly stop being bellwether counties despite decades of near 100% consistency
  •   the rigged cities would produce implausibly high urban turnout but demographically identical cities in neighboring battleground states would have normal urban turnout
  •   you would have an implausibly high number of Biden-only ballots (no down ballot selections) but the same phenomenon would not be seen with Trump ballots
  •   a forensic audit of the voting machines used in these rigged cities would produce unexplainably high error rates and the edit logs would be nowhere to be found.  They would be wiped.
  •   You would expect to see weird things like Trump winning key bellwether battleground states like Ohio and Florida and win them easily but would lose just enough battleground states (where the rigged cities are located) to put him under 270
  •   you would expect to see suspicious activity going on in these "rigged" cities... such as; blocking poll watchers... stopping the count late on election night with Trump in the lead but then resume counting hours later with huge statistically impossible spikes for Biden [...]

They Stole It Fair And Square.  [T]he election was effectively stolen months ago before any ballots were cast when legislatures (and sometimes governors and state courts such Pennsylvania) changed the voting rules to allow expanded mail-in voting, and the cascade of related vulnerabilities that followed.  Republican legislatures that went along with these COVID-induced panic changes were foolish if not derelict in their duty.  And the Trump campaign was negligent in not fighting against this months ago. [...] Fraud is very easy in our election system.  Remember that our elections are run by part-timers, amateurs, and volunteers on the county level in America — and we have over 3,000 counties.  In such a diffuse system it is easy to conjure up a few dozen votes here, a few hundred votes there.  Or worse.  It is at once a glory of self-government in America that we actually conduct our elections in this decentralized way involving tens of thousands of citizen volunteers.  It is also astounding that we use such a vulnerable and chaotic system to choose our president.

Trump's End Game.  [O]n Monday Trump won his most significant battle yet when seven swing states sent pro-Trump electors to Washington.  Now, someone must decide whether to accept the Biden slate of electors for those states, which also were sent on Monday, or the Trump slates.  Millions of Americans are persuaded there was widespread systemic fraud and corruption in the 2020 vote.  But, a number of courts have seen heaps of evidence, affidavits etc.  Yet, they've taken zero action favorable to Trump.  That's because the electoral system, as devised, makes it impossible to effectively challenge voting fraud.  No court can process sufficiently and fairly all the evidence, claims and counterclaims, testimony, etc. in the time between election day and the day electors are chosen.  It takes about half the available time just to research and pull together cases and file them.  Cases this complicated take months, even years to be resolved in courts.

The Fraudulent 2020 Election Is History Unfolding before Our Eyes.  History is usually written long after historical events play themselves out in real life.  It's rare to understand the gravity of historical events as they are actually happening. [...] When citizens no longer feel as though they have a say in their government, when they feel as though their government has been stolen right out from in front of them, they no longer feel an obligation to live their lives by the framework laid out in the Constitution.  There have always been Americans who have felt wronged or disenfranchised or powerless and decide to act in ways that are...anti-social, but they've largely been extreme outliers.  What happens when fully half of the population feel as though they have been disenfranchised and were forced to watch the theft play out right in front of them while politicians told them, "Nothing to see here"? [...] If Democrats are allowed to steal this election in plain sight, then all is lost, including hope.

Is the whole government in on this fraudulent election?  As soon as Trump was elected president in 2016, the dark state realized that it had blundered.  Its members had underestimated the degree of fraud it would need to defeat him.  This time, they removed all possibility of failure, and even then, they needed vastly more fraud than even they had anticipated.  Stuffing the ballot boxes was not enough; they had to call time out, for a few hours, so they could print yet more ballots.  Indeed, they printed so many more that the sheer number of them made it obvious that they were cheating.  One might think they overplayed their hand, that they had used a sledgehammer to swat a mosquito.  In doing so, they removed all reasonable doubt — the election was clearly rigged.  But the dark state was so desperate that its operatives cared nothing for how it seems to the informed observer.  Nothing.  They just had to make absolutely sure that there would be no way that Donald Trump would be declared the winner.

Corporate Media Awfully Quiet on News of Fraudulent Dominion Voting Systems Results.  One of the ways you can tell if a story is damaging to the Democrats is to look at how their close friends and allies in the corporate press handle it.  For example, it turns out the left-wing activists in the media really really really don't want you to know about the recent revelations regarding voting machines in Antrim County, Michigan, so they are refusing to report on it. [...] The bottom line is that the media is ignoring the story because they do not want more Americans to doubt the integrity of the 2020 presidential election.  They have been downplaying and suppressing stories showing indications of fraudulent activity at the polls.  As usual, they are motivated by fear.  Despite the front they put up for the American public, they know that this election was not immaculate and they know that the cheating came from their side.

Senate Committee to Hold Oversight Hearing to Examine Irregularities in 2020 Election Tomorrow Morning.  The Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs will hold an oversight hearing to examine irregularities in the 2020 election Wednesday morning [12/16/2020] at 10:00 AM ET.  Former special prosecutor Ken Starr will be testifying tomorrow before the senate committee.  Ken Starr recently appeared on "Life, Liberty & Levin" and clearly explained that Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the Constitution gives plenary power to the state legislatures to choose their electors.  Starr said what happened in Pennsylvania is a "Constitutional travesty."  [Video clip]

Trump's End Game.  The good news is it's still entirely possible for Donald Trump to be reelected.  The bad news is that it is likely to come down to the RINOs.  Joe Biden, in his cough-punctuated speech Monday night, declared victory and enumerated all the ways that he defeated Donald Trump — seven million more votes, a "landslide" in Electoral College votes coupled with Trump's zero batting average in every courtroom to hear his case so far.  But there is now also a hugely encouraging fact: on Monday Trump won his most significant battle yet when seven swing states sent pro-Trump electors to Washington.  Now, someone must decide whether to accept the Biden slate of electors for those states, which also were sent on Monday, or the Trump slates.

Why Georgia Should Run Off Brad Raffensperger.  Brad Raffensperger may well be responsible for creating the most havoc in Georgia since Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman visited the state in 1864.  Because the balance of power in Washington has come down to a couple of seats in the U.S. Senate currently held by Georgia Republicans, it's difficult to exaggerate the importance of the January 5 runoffs or how badly our feckless secretary of state is likely to mismanage them.  His ineptitude during the general election produced the rapid deployment of Republican attorneys who have bombarded Raffensperger with lawsuits in an effort to prevent the runoff from devolving into the kind of debacle that he presided over in November.  The most recent lawsuit against Raffensperger and the Georgia State Election Board was filed December 10 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia by the Republican Party, the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Perdue for Senate, and Georgians for Kelly Loeffler.

Whitmer Has State Police in Michigan Block GOP Electors From Getting Into State House to Vote for Trump, Pence.  As we reported earlier, the Republicans are pulling a procedural move to help preserve the election.  They have an "alternate slate" of Republican electors in the contested battleground states casting their votes for President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.  That way they've protected their rights in the event they prevail in the legal cases.  The Congress and state legislatures then have an alternate slate to choose from. [...] While the Republicans are trying to do this by the Constitution and have their electors vote in the state houses, the Democrats in Michigan would appear to be behind trying to block them from doing so.  The GOP electors marched to the state house but then were met at the door by the State Police and not allowed to enter as the Democrats were inside voting for Joe Biden.

As chair of state Senate Judiciary panel, Arizona senator plans to subpoena Dominion for audit.  The liberal media spent much of the day Monday celebrating the Electoral College "officially" confirming Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 election — the great irony of the occasion is that the candidate responded to say, "Faith in our institutions held.  The integrity of our elections remains intact."  And while the corrupt media establishment is ready to move on, those with serious questions about that "integrity" are pushing forward, as seen in Arizona, where state Sen. Eddie Farnsworth announced Monday he will issue subpoenas for an audit of Dominion Voting Systems machines used in Maricopa County.

Never Again!.  Nobody quite knows what is going to happen with President Trump's challenges to the 2020 election, but one thing is certain — America should not conduct another national election without massive reforms.  In short, we just watched a Third World-style election within the borders of the greatest country in the history of the world.  People voting for weeks, mail-out and mail-in ballots flying everywhere — on trucks across states lines, through post offices populated with partisans, into drop boxes monitored by no one, onto election machines with shadowy ownership where vote tallies apparently were shipped overseas and where states took days to count ballots while others counted them in hours.  The vast majority of Republicans believe massive cheating occurred and so do nearly half of Democrats.

President Trump Retweets Attorney Lin Wood:  Kemp and Raffensperger "Will Soon be Going to Jail".  Donald Trump won the state of Georgia in 2016 by 6 percentage points and over 200,000 votes.  President Trump is the most popular Republican in US history.  In 2020 he won over 74 million votes that we know of.  We also now have evidence that Dominion voting machines were switching votes from President Trump to Joe Biden.  The 2020 election was entrenched in fraud.  The liberal media wants you to believe that Georgia flipped to Democrat during the Trump years.  Impossible.  As we have reported numerous times now the election numbers in Georgia are suspect, fraudulent, and impossible.

Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, and Arizona Republican Electors Cast Votes for Trump.  Republican electors in four states said on Dec. 14 that they would cast their procedural votes for President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, the latest update contesting the results of the 2020 election.  Republican electors in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona all said they voted for Trump.  It comes as their states formally appointed Democratic electors who voted for Democrat Joe Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.).  In Michigan, two separate slates of electors were cast:  16 for Trump and 16 for Biden.  "Sending more than one slate of electors is not unheard of," said Meshawn Maddock, Michigan Republican at-large national elector in an emailed release.  "It's our duty to the people of Michigan and to the U.S. Constitution to send another slate of electors if the election is in controversy or dispute — and clearly it is."

Report Claims Dominion Error Rate of 68%, 'Intentionally Designed to Create Systemic Fraud'.  A forensic report from the Allied Security Operations Group of election results from Antrim County, Michigan concluded Dominion Voting Systems is "intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results." The report reasons that while "the allowable election error rate established by the Federal Election Commission guidelines is of 1 in 250,000 ballots (.0008%)," they "observed an error rate of 68.05% with Dominion Voting Systems.  Its findings focus on Antrim County, which saw its election results glitch and flip thousands of votes for President Trump to Joe Biden.

The Media Abandons Democracy.  [Quoting Mark Levin]  You've heard of the Iron Triangle, but we have more now of sort of an Iron Box.  We have Big Tech, Big Media, the Democrat Party and the entrenched bureaucracy.  And they all work together and they all feed off each other and they all empower each other.  Then you have "we the people."  In this case we had a representative for "we the people" called Donald Trump, President of the United States.  And that Iron Box has done everything it can to destroy him and his administration and to handicap him and think about all the successes he has had, even with all of that.  And now we have the Democrat Party in Big Media and Big Tech that did many things during the course of this election which they hope would ensure Biden's victory.  Changing rules in violation of state constitutions, changing rules in violation of the federal constitution, and all the rules are changed to do what?  To allow fraud and to institutionalize fraud.  They're not good government changes.  No signatures, no matching signatures, no postal dates and so forth.  What's that all about?  That's about corruption.

Whitmer Has State Police in Michigan Block GOP Electors From Getting Into State House to Vote for Trump, Pence.  As we reported earlier, the Republicans are pulling a procedural move to help preserve the election.  They have an "alternate slate" of Republican electors in the contested battleground states casting their votes for President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.  That way they've protected their rights in the event they prevail in the legal cases.  The Congress and state legislatures then have an alternate slate to choose from.

Michigan Republicans ask Supreme Court to view findings from Dominion voting machines forensic audit.  A group of Republicans wants the U.S. Supreme Court to view findings from a forensic audit of Dominion Voting Systems equipment in Antrim County, Michigan, that has been touted by President Trump's legal team.  After an unfavorable ruling from a district court judge, the attorneys representing the group, including Sidney Powell, asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit to review their case and signaled on Friday that they would seek an emergency appeal to the high court in their bid to overturn the Michigan election results.  They followed up with a letter on Sunday asking to file new materials under seal, including the audit findings from a separate lawsuit in Antrim County.  "This evidence is crucial to a just resolution of the cases pending before this court," the attorneys wrote to the Supreme Court in a letter obtained by the Washington Examiner.  "The petitioners stand ready to provide the evidence to the Court under the procedures it deems appropriate."

Republican Legislatures Choose Alternate Electors in NV, WI, GA, PA, AZ to Preserve Election Challenge Options.  State legislatures in Nevada, Wisconsin, Georgia, Arizona and Pennsylvania have selected republican electors to preserve cases and lawsuits of election fraud in each state.  If the outstanding court cases are successfully argued the republican electors would be able to cast votes for President Donald Trump.  Trump Campaign Senior Advisor Stephen Miller explains what is happening today as each state presents and casts their votes for state electors.  The only date outlined in the constitution is January 20th.  As Miller outlines:  "We have more than enough time to right the wrong of this fraudulent election result."

With U.S. Senate Runoffs Near, Georgia's Not Prosecuting Its Unprecedented Number of Double Voters.  More than 1,700 Georgians were singled out for illegally casting two ballots in 2020 elections — including last month's hotly contested presidential race — but their fraudulent votes weren't canceled out, according to state election officials.  And so far, none of the cheaters has been prosecuted, raising concerns about continued fraud as Georgia prepares to vote again in twin U.S. Senate runoff elections next month.  The majority of double voters were Democrats who cast an absentee ballot either by mail or drop box and also voted in person on Election Day, officials said, which is a felony under state law.  The highest share of offenders were from Fulton County, which includes Atlanta — many of whom were allowed to cast a second ballot by poll workers, officials said.

2020 Election Investigative Documentary:  Who's Stealing America?  On election night, on Nov. 3, an assortment of anomalies were observed, followed by a large number of specific allegations of election fraud.  As the integrity of the election continued to be questioned and evidence continued to emerge, most mainstream media stuck to a one-sided narrative by calling the 2020 election the most secure in American history, and sought to silence opposing voices.  The results of the 2020 election will not only decide the future of the United States, but also determine the future of the world.  Following election night, The Epoch Times' investigative team quickly went to work.  In an attempt to uncover the issues behind the election, investigative reporter Joshua Phillip traveled across the country to swing states to interview whistleblowers, big data experts, and election experts.

Wisconsin Supreme Court says election officials were wrong; ballots may not be counted.  The Wisconsin Supreme Court has ruled in favor of Mark Jefferson and the Republican Party of Wisconsin.  The opinion, which was released this morning [12/14/2020], says local election officials were wrong to suggest that voters could claim the status of "indefinitely confined" based on COVID-19.  The majority decision also held that if voters falsely claimed they were indefinitely confined "their ballots would not count."  But the court noted that a determination must be make in every case before tossing a ballot.

Antrim County election audit:  Dominion machines unreliable, evidence suggests vote tampering.  The computer audit of the Atrim County election Dominion tabulator machines has found irrevocable evidence that these machines and their software is unreliable, that the evidence suggests significant vote tampering, and also suggests criminal activity to do it.  The preliminary findings including 24 points, all of which are shocking.  The second sums it up:  ["]We conclude that the Dominion Voting System is intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results.  The system intentionally generates an enormously high number of ballot errors.  The electronic ballots are then transferred for adjudication.  The intentional errors lead to bulk adjudication of ballots with no oversight, no transparency, and no audit trail.  This leads to voter or election fraud.  Based on our study, we conclude that The Dominion Voting System should not be used in Michigan.  We further conclude that the results of Antrim County should not have been certified.["]

The 'kraken' is the sleeping giant now awakened within the GOP.  Many of us are aware that if this election stands, the government essentially legalizes voter fraud.  If the Democrats gain power, they'll learn from this mistake and make sure they conceal the scam better next time.  There will never be an election with more clear and widespread evidence of fraud than in the 2020 election.  This election will set a precedent for what constitutes voter fraud going forward.  No number of affidavits or forensic analysis will surpass the abundant evidence in the 2020 election, making all future fraud claims insufficient to take action.  The response to future allegations of fraud will be:  "Republicans also said there was massive fraud in 2020, and that was proven false by the courts!"

Something historic happened with America's electors on Monday.  [Scroll down]  The Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, will be issuing his report on December 18.  If there really is provable massive fraud or foreign interference, the election cannot stand.  To prepare for these possibilities — either judicial courage or such overwhelming fraud that the election cannot stand — seven states did something unusual and courageous.  Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada, and New Mexico all selected two slates of electors:  One slate accepts a Democrat victory, but the other slate anticipates a turnaround, whether judicial or because of such overwhelming proof of fraud or foreign interference that Biden's "victory" must fail.  In Michigan, there was even some extra drama.  The State Police attempted to block the Republican electors from entering the capitol, but those efforts were foiled.  According to Reuters, if states select different slates of electors, the House and the Senate can simply ignore one of those slates.  However, if the House and the Senate select different slates from those states, it's entirely unclear what happens next, [...]

MI Judge Grants Attorney Matt DePerno Permission To Release Results Of Forensic Examination On 16 Dominion Voting Machines In Antrim Co..  This morning [12/14/2020], during an emergency hearing, MI 13th Circuit Court Judge Kevin A Elsenheimer granted permission to Attorney Matthew DePerno to release the findings from their forensic examination of 16 Dominion Voting machines in Antrim County, MI where thousands of votes flipped from President Trump to Joe Biden on November 3, 2020. [...] Dominion's vote totals showed 663 people voted in a district where there were only 6 eligible voters and only 3 of those 6 actually voted.  Somehow, Dominion added 660 additional votes to the final tally. [...] "Based on all the allegation of fraud, statutory violations, and other misconduct," DePerno wrote, "it is necessary to immediately permit the plaintiff to take a forensic image of the 22 precinct tabulators, thumb drives, related software, the Clerk's "master tabulator," and conduct an investigation of those images, after which a manual recount of the election results and independent audit of the November 3 election may be ordered to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the election."

Michigan Judge Orders Release of Forensics Report of Dominion Vote Tabulation System.  After considerable legal filings intended to block the release of a forensic report of Antrim County Dominion vote tabulation systems, a Michigan judge has lifted a gag order allowing the plaintiff, Allied Security Operations Group, to publicly release the findings. [...] This video below displays how easily ballots can be manipulated during the adjudication process on Dominion voting machines.  These machines were used in all key US swing states and all of the counties that reported unusual ballot counting results.  Coffee County, Georgia, refused to certify their election results based on these inherent ballot counting flaws:  [Video clip]

Allied Security Operations Group:  Antrim Michigan Forensics Report.  We conclude that the Dominion Voting System is intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results.  The system intentionally generates an enormously high number of ballot errors.  The electronic ballots are then transferred for adjudication.  The intentional errors lead to bulk adjudication of ballots with no oversight, no transparency, and no audit trail.  This leads to voter or election fraud.  Based on our study, we conclude that The Dominion Voting System should not be used in Michigan.  We further conclude that the results of Antrim County should not have been certified.

Debunked? NOTHING Has Been Debunked.  No one's explained why a USPS truck driver was trucking 20-30 pallet-sized cartons of already-completed PA ballots into PA from NYFS.  No one's explained why all poll watchers and press were lied out of the Atlanta counting room.  No one's explained why after that happened, multiple cartons of ballots were pulled out of hiding and counted, [who] knows how many times.  No one's explained why the woman responsible for that explained on her social media page that she admitted to stuffing the Atlanta ballot boxes and throwing the election victory from Trump (when the rules were being followed) to Biden (once the ballot stuffing began).  No one's explained satisfactorily why Dominion voting machines are pre-loaded to count a single vote for Trump as .87 votes, and a vote for Biden as 1.13 votes (which was why you had the ridiculous fractions of votes showing up on live tallies all night).  No one's explained why all the key swing states all decided, independently, to stop counting votes after 2 AM, nor why when they resumed there were magical swings in votes suddenly giving Biden just barely enough votes to win every single state.  No one's explained how, in states that were split 51/49, there suddenly appeared whale-choking gobs of ballots that were 98% Biden, and 2% Trump.

Michigan State Police arrest celebrated Democratic official on six felony charges of election fraud.  Michigan State Police have arrested a recently celebrated Democratic Party official on several felony charges related to voter discrepancies.  The Michigan official who earlier this year received an award from the state's Democratic Party is now facing six felony charges for reportedly forging records and falsely marking absentee ballots as invalid during the 2018 election, reported The Detroit News.  Sherikia Hawkins, 38, city clerk for the city of Southfield, was arrested Monday after the Oakland County Clerk's office noticed discrepancies in voter counts while certifying absentee ballots from Southfield.  State police investigated and found that records had been altered so that nearly 200 voter files were improperly listed as invalid.

The Editor says...
Her alleged offenses occurred in the 2018 election.  That was two years ago.  That means that all of the people involved in this year's election fraud probably won't be arrested until 2022, if ever.

Southfield City Clerk Faces Felony Charges For Alleged Election Fraud.  The Southfield City Clerk is facing half-a-dozen felony counts for falsifying returns and other alleged crimes during last year's election[.]  Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel was joined by Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson to announce the case against 38-year-old Sherikia Hawkins of Southfield.  They say discrepancies in the Southfield voter count were brought to the Secretary of State's attention by the Oakland County Clerk's office following its efforts to certify Southfield's absentee ballots for the Nov. 6, 2018, general election.

Dominion Software Intentionally Designed to Influence Election Results:  Forensics Report.  A forensic audit of Dominion Voting Systems machines and software in Michigan showed that they were designed to create fraud and influence election results, a data firm said Monday [12/14/2020].  "We conclude that the Dominion Voting System is intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results," Russell Ramsland Jr., co-founder of Allied Security Operations Group, said in a preliminary report.  "The system intentionally generates an enormously high number of ballot errors.  The electronic ballots are then transferred for adjudication.  The intentional errors lead to bulk adjudication of ballots with no oversight, no transparency, and no audit trail.  This leads to voter or election fraud.  Based on our study, we conclude that The Dominion Voting System should not be used in Michigan.  We further conclude that the results of Antrim County should not have been certified," he added.

Elevating US Vote Integrity.  [Scroll down]  How much "legal evidence" is necessary?  This is yet another variable that is subjective (i.e. in the eyes of some judge).  The problem is that getting voluminous "legal evidence" of fraud (e.g. signed affidavits of individuals to verify that a deceased person has had a vote counted) is extremely time-consuming.  There is simply no way to do this in the narrow window of time allowed in the post-election process.  Another option would be to prove that mass changes were made to votes — e.g. by a computer software algorithm.  However, it is extremely unlikely that voting results would be manipulated across an entire state, as that would be too obvious.  Instead, limited areas (counties, or certain precincts) would be targeted.  To find exactly where the software adjustments took place is a challenge.  Second, even after that was done, to get access to the full computer code, of the infected machines, and then find exactly where in hundreds of pages of code that software manipulation was done, is extremely time consuming — and requires the services of highly qualified people.  And this examination would proceed under the assumption that the perpetuators haven't gone and changed the code back.

Curiouser and Curiouser.  [Scroll down]  All the people that hate America have aligned for this coup.  This is the Hail Mary of all times and they're going for it.  Big tech such as Google, You tube, Twitter and facebook have shut down conservative commentary.  If you do something as simple as tweet about the irregularities of this election, you're booted.  Total control, and there's nothing you can do about it.  Well, TV is worse.  On Monday, Rudy and the crew were in Arizona presenting their case.  If you thought that the witnesses, mathematic anomalies, extended time frames, weird ballots, etc, in Pennsylvania were pretty amazing, that was just a warm up to Arizona.  I have to believe that anyone who is being honest with themselves and not running on blind hatred of Trump, would have to say after that hearing, that there's NO WAY that there wasn't massive fraud involved.  So let me ask those who continue to tell me that I'm spreading vile [falsehoods], that Trump lost because people hate [him], and I should suck it up and move on:  Why isn't the media broadcasting these hearings so the American people can make up their own minds?  If it's just smoke and mirrors, if there's no substance, then why not air it.  Make fools out of people like me??  Better yet, if Rudy and his evidence and witnesses are really [baseless], why isn't the media covering it, so they can rip it all to shreds?  You know why.  They don't want YOU to see what really happened.  The less people that see what these folks have as evidence, makes their job of pushing their agenda much easier.  So, we have big tech in on this.  We have the media in on this.  Who else is in on this?  I'm afraid that it's so widespread that we really are in the biggest clash between good and evil we have ever seen.

Biden Won 477 Counties vs Obama Who Won 689 in 2012 — Yet Biden Magically Gained 13 Million More Votes Than Obama.  Joe Biden is the worst presidential candidate the Democrats ever nominated.  Biden couldn't get anyone to attend his boring and awkward drive-in rallies so his campaign used Covid as a cover.  78-year-old Joe Biden can't even form a coherent sentence.  Hardly anyone listens to his speeches and in reality, hardly anyone actually voted for him.  The Democrats knew that Joe Biden had no charisma and virtually no support so they relied on their massive vote fraud organization (Joe Biden's own words) in order to drag the demented fool across the finish line.  Joe Biden underperformed Barack Obama's 2012 numbers everywhere except for the cities in the states he is trying to steal.

Study Shows Impossible Anomalies Causing Biden 'win' in Michigan — In 5 Seconds Biden Racked Up 140,000.  A recently published review of available election data shows: major voting machine manipulation in favor of Biden.  In almost every Michigan precinct, Biden had exact 50-55% higher absentee totals than Trump.  In 5 seconds, Biden's total votes in Michigan went up 140,000 votes.  In 9 problem Michigan Counties, the absentee votes between Trump and Biden are so similar that the study's author says they are clear indications of vote machine manipulation.

Georgia Poll Observers Say They Were Effectively Told to Go Home.  Republican poll observers Mitchell Harrison and Michelle Branton said in affidavits that at approximately 10:30 p.m. on Nov. 3 inside an absentee ballot-counting room at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, a woman shouted to everyone to stop working and return the following morning at 8:30 a.m.  "This lady had appeared through the night and Mitchell and I believed her to be the supervisor," Branton wrote in an affidavit.  Following the instruction, nearly all workers left, except a handful of people.  All ballot counting stopped.  The poll observers were the only outsiders left, along with a Fox News crew.  Harrison spent some time seeking answers from Regina Waller, the Fulton County's public affairs manager for elections, but she refused to answer his questions, he said in an affidavit.  A few minutes later, Branton, Harrison, and the crew left.  Only four people remained in the room including Waller, when they had departed.

In GA, 818 People Voted Only for Trump, Not Senate Race.  For Biden, It Was 95,801.  The statistical argument against an alleged Biden win continues to mount.  Trump campaign senior advisor Steve Cortes made the case, noting several anomalies and improbabilities that suggest the possibility of fraud and warrant closer inspection.  One of the most glaring issues is the vast difference in Georgia of the number of individuals who voted for President Trump, but not for the state's U.S. Senate race, versus the number of voters who did the equivalent for Joe Biden.  For the president, it was 818, meaning that of the millions of voters who cast ballots for him, only a little over 800 did not also vote for the Senate race.  For Biden, however, the number was 95,801 — meaning nearly 96,000 people allegedly voted for the former vice president but did not bother choosing candidates in the Senate contest.

Our Electoral Processes Need To Be Fixed Well Before 2024.  We have a problem today because basically, half the country either believes that the election was rigged or they're at least not confident enough to say that it wasn't.  And both election officials and politicians across the nation have given these people far more than sufficient cause to have and express those doubts.  If people have sincere questions about the integrity of the system then those questions deserve answers and solutions that are solid enough to restore the trust of the voters or we probably won't have enough of a nation left to bother voting anymore.  I'm not saying I know whether or not the correct person was declared the winner of the presidential race (or any other, really) but there are two general categories of potential voter fraud that need to be examined and publicly rooted out.  One is localized small-scale voter fraud while the other is the possibility of something sweeping, systemic, and intentional.

Trumps two year Sting for foreign interference?  Executive Order 13848 may trigger by Dec 18.  Back in September 2018, President Trump made an executive order which was interpreted then in "the Russian collusion" threat, because that was what was on the minds of the commentariat at the time.  But it may turn out to be a historic trap sprung against foreign actors and their domestic collaborators.  It arms Trump with a process to investigate foreign interference in elections.  Given the scale of fraud, in the US of A today, it's not unthinkable that The Great Reset will instead become the The Great Cleansing of the Deep State.  That's if the servers and voting machines still have evidence of foreign interference in the US election.  But watch for signs that EO 13848 is live — because it may send people to jail.

Statistical Evidence of Dominion Election Fraud?  Time to Audit the Machines.  Statistical analysis of past presidential races supports the view that in 2020, in counties where Dominion Machines were deployed, the voting outcomes were on average (nationwide) 1.5% higher for Joe Biden and 1.5% lower for Donald Trump after adjusting for other demographic and past voting preferences.  For Dominion to have switched the election from Trump to Biden, it would have had to have increased Biden outcomes (with a corresponding reduction in Trump outcomes) by 0.3% in Georgia, 0.6% in Arizona, 2.1% in Wisconsin, and 2.5% in Nevada.  The apparent average of 1.5% "Dominion Effect" is greater than the margin in Arizona and Georgia, and close to the margin for Wisconsin and Nevada.  It is not hard to picture a scenario where the actual effect in Wisconsin and Nevada was greater than the national average and would have changed the current reported outcome in those two states.  Assuming the "Dominion Effect" is real, it is possible that an audit of these machines would overturn the election.  These results are scientifically valid and have a p-value of less than 1%, meaning the chances of this math occurring randomly are less than 1 in 100.  The best way to restore faith in the system is to audit the Dominion voting machines in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and Wisconsin.

Michigan AG and Sec. of State Block Results of Forensic Audit of 22 Dominion Machines in Antrim County.  A Northern Michigan judge has allowed Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson to block the results of a forensic audit of Dominion machines in Antrim County, where thousands of votes for President Trump were flipped to Joe Biden.  Chief Judge Kevin A. Elsenheimer last week issued an order granting a local man, William Baily, permission for a forensic examination of the county's 22 Dominion tabulators.  Bailey filed a complaint on Nov. 23, arguing that there was election fraud in the Republican-leaning Antrim County, along with a violation of the "purity of election clause."

Courts to Voters:  Democrat Election Fraud Is 'Too Big to Fail'.  The courts have spoken, one after another.  Some 74 million Americans have been denied our day in court.  The Democrats' crime of stealing a presidential election is too big to fail.  Our play-it-safe judges don't want to venture into these enormous seas, full of sharks, without precedent.  They want to say in the safe spaces of the familiar.  Stealing an election for city council is familiar enough to be overturned by law.  Stealing a presidential election by wholesale fraud is above the law.  One might think that somehow our laws are written too narrowly to catch the whale of Democrat fraud in the election, but for one thing:  the declarations from the bench that it is unthinkable to "upend an election."  Our judges tell us that ruling fraudulent ballots invalid would "disenfranchise" millions of voters.  These are political statements.  They are pusillanimous statements.  They are not legal statements.

Lin Wood Releases Photos of Alleged Georgia Mail-In Ballots in Fulton Warehouse.  Attorney Lin Wood tweeted out photos of alleged boxes of Georgia mail-in ballots in a Fulton County warehouse.  Wood alleges that many of the ballots were shipped from Arizona.  He then calls out the FBI, GA Bureau of Investigation, Governor Kemp, Lt. Governor of Georgia, and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to "do your [...] jobs" and investigate!

Disparate Impact for Thee, but Not for Me?  Many races that Democrat candidates were decidedly losing during Election Day often ended up in their favor late at night or early next morning, when it was easier to stuff ballot boxes or to doctor the counting of the votes.  This hardly ever happened to Republican candidates.  The same tendency was observed in cases of a broken chain of custody of the ballots when it was easier to cure the original ballots, or replace them with fabricated ones, or inject fraudulent ballots from non-existing or ineligible voters, or discard the legitimate ballots, or coerce or bribe voters to vote certain way.  For instance, in such cases as absentee voting, mail-in voting, and vote-harvesting (which was legalized in California a few years ago), it was by and large the Democrat Party that was benefiting from such breaks of the chain of custody and the opportunity to cheat that they facilitated.

An overview of the latest election fraud information.  With the Supreme Court becoming an increasingly slender reed on which to rely, the information below in the new front in the battle against election fraud. [...] This video explains election anomalies that could occur only if there was large-scale data manipulation:  [Video clip]  [...] There's already evidence strongly suggesting that, in Georgia, significant numbers of ballots used for the recount were so pristine they never passed through the Post Office or through voters' hands: [Tweets] These suspiciously immaculate ballots were likely "backfill" — that is, after the computers rigged the votes, paper ballots were delivered or printed on-site to make up the necessary numbers.

Audit Finds DNC 'Interjection' Prompted Iowa Caucus Chaos, Report Says.  A new audit commissioned by the Iowa Democratic Party has placed blame for the Democratic Party's 2020 Iowa Caucus debacle at the feet of the Democratic National Committee.  According to Politico, which obtained a copy of the autopsy report, the DNC decided mere weeks before the caucuses to demand a conversion tool for the app that the state party planned to use for reporting results so the DNC could view the raw data in real-time to ensure calculations were correct.  But the conversion tool, which the state party was not involved in developing, contained coding errors and malfunctioned on the night of the caucus, leading the DNC to demand the state party stop reporting their own caucus results, even though the state party's own app was later found to have been working as intended.  Voters in Iowa and across the nation were then left wondering when official caucus results would begin to roll in.

President Trump Issues Warning:  Swing States that Found Massive Voter Fraud, which is all of them, Cannot Legally Certify these votes.  We either have a country or we don't.  We either morph into a lawless banana republic or we don't.  President Trump issued a warning on Sunday night [12/13/2020].  President Trump warned the swing states on Sunday night that found "Massive Voter Fraud" — which is all of them — cannot legally certify these votes.  It's not legal!  They commit a severely punishable crime!  Dead people, below age people, illegal immigrants, fake signatures, prisoners all voted in the 2020 election.

There Are Election Lawsuits We Still Need to See.  While many are not willing to admit it, the Texas election lawsuit was the last real chance that President Donald Trump had to stall the official declaration of Joe Biden as the next President of the United States.  The lawsuit itself was doomed to fail for multiple Constitutional reasons, but perhaps the biggest flaw in it is that it was a group of outside states seeking to overturn election results in a handful of other states based on the fact that those states changed the rules in the middle of those elections going on. [...] But the idea behind the lawsuit was the correct one.  States should not be allowed to change the rules in the middle of the game, and if there is one fight that needs to continue beyond this election, it is a fight to ensure that our elections systems are as trustworthy as possible and that the policies and procedures in place to run an election within a state are as fair to the voters as possible.

"It's a Real Simple Fact to Prove that There Was Massive Fraud in This Election" — Inventor of QR Code Can Prove It.  Back on November 6th, only three days after the election, retired Intel Operative Tony Shaffer, said not to worry, the President has the Constitution on his side and will win the election.  Shaffer had tweeted the day before, that it was likely fraudulent ballots could be identified, and if so, they will prove that President Trump won the election.  Today we have astonishing support for Tony's remarks.

Jovan Hutton Pulitzer explains how Team Trump should digitally examine millions of mail ballots to scientifically prove if ballots are authentic or fake.  ["]We can take the physical ballot, the image scan of the ballot in the machine, the CVR file in the machine, and I can even take a shredded bag of ballots and do what we do.  I want everybody to understand these physical ballots from the election, when they go into the machine, it basically makes a duplicate copy.  That's your property as an American citizen.  We own it for 22 months after the election.  And so when these courts started saying, well you can't look at it, I realized it was all technical smoke and mirrors, to fool judges, to fool lawyers, to say oh we can't really do it.["]   [Video clip]

Sidney Powell:  Trump Could Trigger 2018 Executive Order on Foreign Election Interference.  Lawyer Sidney Powell asserted that due to alleged foreign interference in the Nov. 3 election, "it's more than sufficient to trigger" President Donald Trump's executive order on foreign interference issued in 2018.  In September 2018, Trump signed an executive order that says "not later than 45 days after the conclusion of a United States election, the Director of National Intelligence, in consultation with the heads of any other appropriate executive departments and agencies (agencies), shall conduct an assessment of any information indicating that a foreign government, or any person acting as an agent of or on behalf of a foreign government, has acted with the intent or purpose of interfering in that election," according to the text of the order.  Powell told The Epoch Times she believes due to that executive order, it can give Trump "all kinds of power ... to do everything from seize assets to freeze things, demand the impoundment of the machines," referring to voting machines.

Georgia Supreme Court Declines to Hear Trump Lawsuit Ahead of Electoral College Vote.  The Supreme Court of Georgia declined to hear an election challenge filed by President Donald Trump's team before the Dec. 14 Electoral College vote.  The court said that it "lacks the jurisdiction to consider the petition and rejects it," reported Fox News.  The appeal from Trump's team asked the Georgia Supreme Court to consider the merits of the case before Monday, Dec. 14.  It was not clear why the Georgia Supreme Court made its decision to reject the case.

Election Protestor: 'This Is Not a Third World Country'.  Robert Foster is a campaign consultant who worked with Joe Collins in California, but he was in Washington over the weekend as an individual protesting election fraud.  "I say this loudly: count each legal vote," he said.  "As an American citizen, as you are, we have an opportunity to have a free and clear election.  This is not a Third World country.  We're a country that leads other countries." "That's all that the people are asking for," he said.  [Video clip]

General Flynn Says "We Have Conclusive Evidence of Foreign Influence in US Election Right Now".  General Flynn joined Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures this morning [12/13/2020]. [...] General Flynn tells Maria, "We have serious, serious foreign influence with Dominion Voting Machines."  [Video clip]

No 'Next Time' for GOP If It Doesn't Challenge Voter Fraud Now.  Many establishment Republicans, particular of the NeverTrump variety, are telling us it's time to move on from the 2020 presidential election.  They promise future electoral reform and holding the cheaters accountable, with a better outcome in 2024.  Those eager to move on include many Trump detractors like Mitt Romney and John Kasich.  How ironic that Romney may have been subject to the same electoral fraud in 2012 that we are seeing today with the possibility that he actually won the 2012 election.  If there is ever an honest accounting of this year's election including voting machines and programable vote counting software and algorithms, we may learn about past elections.  Today we are faced with numerous credible allegations of election fraud.  Late night ballot dumps and a long list of statistical impossibilities in votes and turnout, electoral observers being excluded from mandated counting processes, dead persons voting and hundreds of sworn affidavits of illegality are all seeing the light of day.

How Much Voter Fraud Was There?  Over the next few years, books will be written about the 2020 presidential election.  Some will argue that the Democrats stole the election through widespread voter fraud.  Others will argue that while safeguards were lax and there was a good bit of fraud, Joe Biden would have won the election anyway.  I doubt that anyone will argue that Biden, the sad shell of a man who at his best was a low-grade hack, received more than 81 million legitimate votes.

The Ultimate and Final Assault on Freedom has Arrived.  [Scroll down]  While Republicans and Trump supporters act within the civilized framework of regulations and procedures, the left continues to be extreme and shameless in its deception and hypocrisy.  The fake ballots were already printed, forged, and neatly stacked on pallets months in advance of the election.  Republican poll watchers were never going to see the falsified count, and the voter software algorithms were already programmed, waiting to spew out a false result favoring Biden.  The 2020 election was already a foregone conclusion, with Biden as the winner.  The theft was openly planned in advance and brazenly executed, which is why Biden calmly stayed in his basement while the President took on an exhaustive campaign schedule.

Michigan attorney moves to release findings from Dominion voting machines forensic audit in Antrim County.  A Michigan attorney wants to release the findings from a forensic audit of Dominion Voting Systems equipment for the public to see.  Matthew DePerno, who is representing an Antrim County resident behind a lawsuit challenging a local marijuana retailer proposal, told Newsmax TV on Friday [12/11/2020] that his broader ambition is to convince state lawmakers to overturn the results of the presidential election with what he says is evidence of voting machine tampering.  "We've called on Mike Shirkey, who is the Senate majority leader in the Michigan Senate, to send a separate slate of electors to Lansing, Republican electors, based on what we think we have found," he told host Greg Kelly, who asked if there was any way to flip Michigan.

Will A Small County In Northern Michigan Be The Key To Overturning The Nation's Election Results?  The untold story of a battle to reveal the truth about Dominion voting machines is brewing in Michigan, and not surprisingly, it's getting very little coverage by the mainstream media.  In a solidly red county in northern Michigan where Trump banners, flags, and yard signs can be found in almost every front yard, voters woke up to discover Joe Biden had walloped President Trump, only to find out shortly later that Dominion voting machines flipped thousands of votes cast for Trump to his Democratic challenger Joe Biden.  The media called it a "glitch" and blamed it on human error.

Trump Approves Filing Retooled Texas-Style Election Challenges:  Giuliani.  President Donald Trump's legal team is planning on filing retooled lawsuits, his lawyer said Saturday [12/12/2020].  "We move immediately, seamlessly, to plan B, which is to bring lawsuits now in each one of the states.  We had them ready.  They're just a version of the one that was brought in the Supreme Court.  So last night, the president made the decision," Rudy Giuliani said during an appearance on "War Room:  Pandemic."  Texas filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court against Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Michigan, alleging the elections there were run contrary to the Constitution.  The nation's top court rejected the suit late Friday.  Trump's team is going to file suits or has already filed in the four states as well as Arizona and Nevada.  The suits will incorporate allegations in the complaint filed by Texas.

Nobody's trying to 'overturn' the election.  We're CORRECTING fraudulent results.  The memo came down from the prince of darkness that everyone in media, Big Tech, and the Democratic Party are supposed to frame challenges to election results as attempts to "overturn" the election.  This is ludicrous and disingenuous, especially when we consider the likelihood that this election was plagued by rampant voter fraud on a massive scale. [...] First and foremost, this is gaslighting.  They know that tens of millions of Americans do not believe the election was fair or that the results are finalized, but they want us to believe that we're the crazy ones for not denouncing thousands of sworn affidavits.  They want us to believe our eyes are lying to us when we see clear voter fraud in videos that have been shown as evidence before state legislature hearings.  Most importantly, they want us to believe that it's a widely accepted fact that Joe Biden won the election fair and square and if we don't, we're delusional.  It's gaslighting in its purest form.

Sydney Powell Confirms She's Filed Two Cases Tonight, Is Filing Two More Tomorrow.  Former federal prosecutor and Trump adjacent lawyer Sidney Powell confirmed to National File that she and her team have filed two cases before the U.S. Supreme Court pertaining to the election Friday evening [12/11/2020], and plan to file an additional pair of cases on Saturday. [...] The Supreme Court rejected a lawsuit filed by the state of Texas against Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin WHICH alleged Constitutional violations, including illegally altering legislated election laws and treating voters unequally, stating that "Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections."  Despite Friday's ruling, however, multiple paths to contesting the media's stated outcome in the 2020 presidential election remain available to the Trump legal team, including the fact that the ruling itself was determined by a technicality, as well as the viability of the coming lawsuits filed by Powell before state and federal Supreme Courts.

4 Big Highlights From Wisconsin's Investigative Hearing of Election Fraud Allegations.  Postal employees in Wisconsin backdated mail-in ballots in the presidential election and nursing home staffers pressured elderly residents on how to vote, witnesses told state lawmakers.  A state election official, meanwhile, assured the Wisconsin lawmakers that there is no evidence of widespread fraud.  These and other witnesses testified Friday before two committees of the Wisconsin Legislature that held a joint hearing on allegations of fraud and irregularities during the Nov. 3 election.  The hearing came as Wisconsin was one of four states — along with Georgia, Michigan, and Pennsylvania — sued by Texas and 18 other states that accuse them of violating their own state election laws.  The U.S. Supreme Court, however, rejected the complaint Friday night, saying Texas had no legal standing.

112,516 ballot dates updated in official PA database.  FACT 1: OpenDataPA allowed anyone to download the Mail Ballot Request CSV database showing the life cycle of every mail-in/absentee ballot, until access to the dataset was blocked on November 21st.  Access was blocked shortly after articles and viral videos came out showing impossible ballot date discrepancies.  FACT 2: On November 23rd OpenDataPA reopened access to the ballot database, but with only access to an updated version of the dataset.  The changes were never disclosed to the public.

Why Some States Are Ripe for Election Fraud.  Examining the population centers of the six states still in question, something unmistakable and rather remarkable emerges.  Here are the largest populated cities in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania:  Philadelphia (1,591,800), Pittsburgh (294,860), Allentown (122,623), Erie (94,619), Reading (88,521), Scranton (77,218), Bethlehem (76,370), Lancaster (59,392), Levittown (51,726), and Harrisburg (49,301). So, in adding up the numbers, Philadelphia's population outflanks the nine next largest cities combined.  In short, the state is top-heavy and by concentrating fraudulent activities in Philadelphia, a political party could swing the state to their candidate.

Trump Supporters Right to Doubt Election.  Some accuse Trump supporters of manufacturing allegations of voter fraud out of whole cloth and resisting the presidential election results in response to their supposed cult leader's wishes.  As usual, President Donald Trump is the villain and his supporters are complicit.  But again, the Trump-hating critics are wrong.  Nationwide GOP distrust and outrage over the election is a grassroots phenomenon.  Trump supporters did not take their cue from Trump.  They witnessed the numerous anomalies on election night and beyond and recognized mischief when they saw it.  Am I saying the election was stolen?  Well, I firmly believe that massive cheating occurred, especially in the so-called swing states.  I can't be sure whether there was enough to change the outcome of the election, though I strongly suspect it.  Millions of Americans don't just strongly suspect it; they are sure of it.

Flashback: Obama attained power by questioning ballots and signatures.  Former President Barack Obama won his first election by throwing all of his opponents off the ballot based on technicalities.  In his first race for office — seeking an Illinois state Senate seat in 1996 — Obama used the election rules to eliminate his Democratic competition.  Obama employed Chicago's rules to invalidate voting petition signatures.  He ultimately disqualified all four Democratic primary rivals and three minor candidates, Wall Street Journal reported.

Arizona GOP Takes Election Case to Supreme Court: 'We Found Evidence'.  The Arizona Republican Party, led by chairwoman Dr. Kelli Ward, announced on Friday [12/11/2020] it is appealing its election integrity case, taking it to the U.S. Supreme Court after the Arizona Supreme Court dismissed the case.  "Our case is going to the Supreme Court of the United States," Ward announced on Friday, expressing hope that it will be expedited and noting that, if accepted, they will only be the third 2020 presidential election case accepted by the highest court in the land.

U.S. Supreme Court throws out Texas lawsuit contesting 2020 election results in four battleground states.  Briskly rejecting a long-shot but high-stakes case, the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday [12/11/2020] tossed out the Texas lawsuit that had become a vehicle for Republicans across the country to contest President-elect Joe Biden's victory.  In a few brief sentences, the high court said it would not consider the case for procedural reasons, because Texas lacked standing to bring it.  Texas this week sued to challenge the election results in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin on the basis that those states implemented pandemic-related changes to election procedures that, Texas claimed, were illegal and cast into question the election results.

Pennsylvania AG blasts Texas election suit as 'seditious abuse' of judicial process.  Pennsylvania's attorney general on Thursday called Texas's bid to invalidate the election results of Pennsylvania and three other battleground states a "seditious abuse of the judicial process."  The fiery Supreme Court brief from state Attorney General Josh Shapiro (D), which urged the justices to "send a clear and unmistakable signal that such abuse must never be replicated," came as battle lines hardened in the unprecedented and long-shot legal dispute.  Texas on Monday filed a petition to the Supreme Court seeking to stop presidential electors in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin from finalizing President-elect Joe Biden's victory.

The Texas Election Challenge and Its Discontents.  On Monday [12/7/2020], Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit directly with the Supreme Court alleging that Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin ignored statutes enacted by their legislatures in violation of the U.S. Constitution's Electors clause.  The lawsuit further accuses these states of violating the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection clause by using more favorable criteria in determining the validity of votes cast in Democratic districts, citing the Court's 2000 ruling in Bush v. Gore, which prohibited differential standards for ballot tabulation.  Despite being written off as a publicity stunt by the defendants, the Court has docketed the case and gave them until Thursday, December 10, at 3 p.m. to file responses.  Meanwhile, Texas has been joined in the effort by 18 additional states and President Trump.  As with every case Republicans take to the Supreme Court, the usual chorus of progressive "experts" has inevitably characterized Texas v. Pennsylvania as devoid of merit and a potential threat to the republic.

Ohio AG joins Texas, other states in election fraud lawsuit.  Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost on Thursday [12/10/2020] filed an amicus brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to accept the case of Texas vs.  Pennsylvania and rule on the Constitution's Electors Clause.  The Electors Clause says that state legislatures — not the executive or judicial branches — set the rules for selecting electors for the Electoral College, which chooses the president.  In several states, executives or judges changed rules on the eve of the election, Yost said.

106 House Republicans demand Joe Biden's victory is voided and back Donald Trump at Supreme Court.  More than half the House Republican caucus signed on to a friend of the court brief in support of a Texas lawsuit that aims to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.  Rep. Mike Johnson, an ally of President Donald Trump, garnered the signatures of 105 other GOP lawmakers including the House's No. 2 Republican leader, Rep. Steve Scalise.  The group, not surprisingly, contains other top Trump advocates includings Reps.  Matt Gaetz, Jim Jordan, Dan Crenshaw, Greg Gianforte, Louie Gohmert, Debbie Lesko, Elise Stefanik and outgoing Rep. Steve King.

Election Supervisor Shows on Video How Dominion Software Allows Changing, Adding Votes.  An elections supervisor in Coffee County, Georgia, demonstrated in recent videos posted online how Dominion Voting Systems voting software allows votes to be changed through an "adjudication" process.  The process allows the operator to add vote marks to a scanned ballot as well as invalidate vote marks already on the ballot.  Adjudication should only serve to resolve issues of voters marking ballots incorrectly, such as filling the bubbles in a way that doesn't clearly show who he or she voted for.  Yet it appears a substantial number of ballots went through that process, at least in some Georgia counties.  As the Coffee County supervisor, Misty Martin, showed, the system can be set to allow adjudication of all scanned ballots, even blank ones, and effectively allow the operator to vote those ballots.  The videos were posted by local news site Douglas Now, whose publisher, Robert Preston, told The Epoch Times they were filmed this week in the local election office.

Pennsylvania House of Representatives Join Texas in Their Lawsuit Against Key Swing States.  On Tuesday morning [12/8/2020], Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton revealed that the state of Texas filed a massive lawsuit against Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin for exploiting "the COVID-19 pandemic to justify ignoring federal and state election laws and unlawfully enacting last-minute changes, thus skewing the results of the 2020 General Election." In the couple days following the announcement, dozens of other states have joined Texas in their lawsuit.  On Thursday, the Pennsylvania House of Representatives joined the case as well.

'The Big One' Gets Bigger: 15 Michigan Legislators Join Texas Election Lawsuit.  On Thursday [12/10/2020], 15 Republican legislators in Michigan filed a motion in support of Attorney General Ken Paxton's (R-Texas) lawsuit challening the 2020 presidential election results in four key swing states, including Michigan.  The legislators joined the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society in supporting the Texas lawsuit, which asks the Supreme Court to remand the election results to swing-state legislatures for review and potential reversal.

Did non-citizen immigrants illegally vote in election?  A growing number want to know.  Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who this week filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Supreme Court to invalidate the election results in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Georgia, said illegal ballots cast by non-citizen immigrants could have played a role in Joe Biden's wins in many states.  "Look, it could have, I mean, there's a lot of factors that could have had an impact on which way the election went," Paxton told Just the News on Tuesday.  "I think the voter rolls ought to be checked.  Secretaries of States of each state ought to check whether people — there ought to be some way to check a database and whether somebody is a citizen or not.  I think that's a pretty important question to know the answer to.  Because, obviously, only citizens of this country have the right to vote."

Georgia County Says 'NO' to Certification of 2020 Election Results.  Officials with the Coffee County Board of Elections and Registration refused to certify the electronic results of the 2020 General Election this week; saying the machines cannot be tested to "duplicate" a credible recount.  "The Coffee County Board of Elections cannot certify the electronic recount numbers given its inability to repeatedly duplicate credible election results," writes a letter from the county.  "Any system, financial, voting, or otherwise, that is not repeatable nor dependable should not be used.  To demand certification of patently inaccurate results neither serves the objective of the electoral system nor satisfies the legal obligation to certify the electronic recount," adds the document.

There is no "Election Month" in the Constitution.  For the past five weeks, citizens of the United States have been getting a civics lesson on how federal elections are supposed to be held.  Deviation from what the Constitution clearly establishes has reached a tipping point because of the way certain states handled the election.  The way that Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, and Nevada carried out the Nov. 3 election has now brought them into blatant and clear conflict with the Constitution itself.  The Constitution says there is a designated Election Day with very real deadlines for voting.  There is no reference in the Constitution to "Election Week" or "Election Month" or even an "Election Quarter-Year."  Votes are to be cast within a single day, and the votes are to be counted at the end of the deadline period.

Voter Fraud Never Happens! (Except in These 10,000 Cases).  The media have been lying about voter fraud for 20 years. [...] No voter fraud ever?  Nope!  That's your first clue they're lying.  Liberals don't try to say partial-birth abortion never happens.  They don't say black men killing cops never happens.  They don't say immigrants ripping off government programs never happens.  Only voter fraud NEVER HAPPENS.

How to Challenge the Pennsylvania Secretary of State's Election Chicanery.  Much of the election controversy in PA had to do with guidance that PA secretary of state Kathy Boockvar gave election officials on the night before the election:  "At issue is guidance Boockvar's office gave to counties on the night before the election. [...] Has it occurred to anyone to ask why Secretary Boockvar waited until the night before the election to issue this guidance?  Apparently, because factcheck.org asked Penn State professor Daniel Mallinson for an explanation.  Mallinson helpfully explained that the guidance was "timely," because "counties were barred by state law from starting their review of mail in ballots until 7 am on election day."  With all due respect to Professor Mallinson, I think I may have a better answer.  The short version is that it is easier to ask forgiveness than to ask for permission.

Years-Long Court Battle in Georgia Reveals Dominion's Security Flaws, Weak Testing.  Behind the current controversy surrounding the integrity of results from the Nov. 3 presidential election in Georgia are years of court battles over an outdated voting system and the controversial $107 million purchase of new touchscreen machines from Dominion Voting Systems in July 2019. [...] Among the many issues raised was the inability to accurately audit Dominion's systems in order to verify that votes were cast as intended.  Audit and cybersecurity experts also demonstrated to the court how the Dominion system inherently prevented the successful use of risk-limiting audits (RLA) — a method employed by Georgia during the recount.  Cybersecurity experts provided evidence to the court that Dominion's QR system wasn't secure, was subject to duplication, and that the ability to generate fake QR codes existed.  A nationally recognized cybersecurity expert also found that during Georgia's August 2020 elections, servers at two county election offices he visited "enabled unsafe remote access to the system through a variety of means," including the use of flash drives.

Trump asks Cruz to argue Texas case.  President Trump has asked Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) to present a case from his state's attorney general seeking to invalidate the election results of several key battleground states before the Supreme Court should it decide to hear the suit, The New York Times reported Wednesday [12/9/2020].  The lawsuit from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) seeks to void the vote certifications of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia and Michigan, arguing that the results are "tainted" by new election processes in those states.  The court has not yet agreed to hear the case on its merits and on Tuesday rejected efforts by pro-Trump attorneys to overturn the results in Pennsylvania in a separate case.

We have been manipulated and will not admit it.  [Scroll down]  The most recent example is the manipulation of your vote.  They are trying to take away your most precious asset, the right for your vote to count.  We were told by the Democrats that we haven't seen any evidence of election fraud.  Even when we see we see a video of election workers pulling ballots out of suitcases to process them, we don't believe.  When the Democratic Party and the deep state got control of the voting machines, they knew that they could manipulate the outcome of the election in six cities that went for Joe Biden in such a big way that he won the national election.  When the American electorate was asked whether the elections were fair and honest, they respond with, "I refuse to believe that my government and the Democratic Party and the press manipulated my votes."

A Total Of 18 States Have Joined Texas' Lawsuit.  Missouri has filed an amicus curiae brief in support of Texas' complaint, and was joined by 16 other states:  Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, and West Virginia. [...] I find these arguments compelling.  I can't conceive of any reason for the SCOTUS to refuse to hear the case.  Especially when the case is supported by 18 states, led by Texas.

Bad Faith, Elections, and Election Officials.  [Scroll down]  One, the solution to illegitimate election results is certainly not to ignore the illegitimacy.  Secondly, where there is evidence of illegal votes or other irregularity, it is those who permitted this situation who disenfranchised legitimate voters.  Thirdly, in the case of a presidential election, the power to vote for the presidential electors resides in the first place with the legislatures, and hence no one has been disenfranchised.  That is why the legislative assemblies of the various states are indeed the perfect place for election grievances to be heard and acted upon in relation to the present election — yes, as if they were courts of law, in a way, [...] And that is why in turn why it is disgusting that members of state legislatures claim powerlessness.  We've seen it over and over in exchanges between state legislators and people giving testimony, and this written statement by the so-called "Republican" Speaker of the Arizona House is particularly repulsive: "[T]he Arizona Legislature simply couldn't do what is being asked."

A Summary of the Texas Election Lawsuit.  Texas claims that the presidential elections as held (and as directed by government officials outside the legislature) in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Michigan all flagrantly violated their own election laws by materially weakening or doing away with security measures.  Further, according to the U.S. Constitution, the legislature (representing the citizens) of each state has absolute authority and responsibility for how presidential electors are chosen; the will of legislature being expressed through state law.  Texas claims that the violations of election law in these states created an environment where ballot fraud was enabled and likely to occur.  The lawsuit lists the violations of law in each of the defendant states and provides evidence of fraud (the number of ballots handled unconstitutionally) in each of the states sufficient to change the outcome of the ballot counts.

Parsing Out Pennsylvania.  If you want to see how a U.S. Supreme Court, packed to 13 or 15 with Joe Biden appointees, would act, then look at the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, which is dominated by five elected Democrats.  In February 2018, the PA Court threw out the existing congressional district map and re-drew it according to its notion of "fairness."  In July 2020, the PA Supreme Court ruled in favor of Democrat Governor Wolf to continue his China virus emergency declaration.  In September 2020, the Court rewrote Pennsylvania election law to allow ballots received three days after Election Day, even without a postmark, to be counted.  Further, it kicked off the ballot the Green Party candidate, who normally takes away votes from the Democratic candidate.

State AG Ken Paxton Explains Legal Position of Texas in Supreme Court Election Lawsuit.  Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appears on Sean Hannity to discuss the legal position of his state in an election lawsuit about arbitrary state processes used in the 2020 election.  Paxton, on behalf of Texas, has sued battleground states Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin to challenge the unconstitutional creation of their mail-in ballots within the election.  Several states have now joined Texas in alignment with the lawsuit.  [Video clip]

Breaking: Trump Administration Will Join Texas Lawsuit Against Battleground States.  The Trump administration will be intervening in a lawsuit in front of the Supreme Court filed by Texas against four other states over alleged violations of election law.  President Donald Trump announced that the federal government would be intervening in the case on the side of Texas on Wednesday morning, claiming that Texas' suit is "the big one."  "We will be INTERVENING in the Texas (plus many other states) case.  This is the big one.  Our Country needs a victory!" Trump said.

Testimony by Michigan Witness:  I saw active-military ballots of 71 year old people from Canada!  Elizabeth Forlini was a Republican Poll Challenger in Detroit the day after election day.  She helped process the military ballots.  She was present when the City of Detroit decided to cover the windows of the TCF Center in order to prevent the Republicans from seeing inside.  When she was finally let inside, five hours after arriving, she saw that there was a huge partisan imbalance.  She was made to wait, but she was going to make sure she fought for the integrity of Detroit elections.  "There was not a Republican at every table.  That place was loaded with hate.  When we'd walk by, they'd turn the envelopes over."  Forlini said the Republicans were vastly outnumbered inside, even though dozens were left waiting hours to come inside, for an official excuse that has evolved over time and most recently has been that the building was at "COVID capacity."

Trio of GOP lawmakers call for review of Massachusetts mail-in ballot program.  A trio of Republican state lawmakers is calling for a review of the massive expansion of vote-by-mail amid the coronavirus pandemic — and the head of the state GOP is cheering them on. [...] The Republican lawmakers are seeking information ranging from issues with "undeliverable" applications and ballots, to any signature-matching problems that may have occurred, to the cost of the program — down to the postage.  After 35 ballots were destroyed in a drop-box fire in Boston, the legislators asked Galvin what steps could be taken to ensure a similar incident wouldn't happen in the future.  And they're pressing the secretary to make information about vote-by-mail more readily accessible to lawmakers and the public as they consider the continued expansion of the program.

Last election challenge pending in Arizona courts thrown out by federal judge in blistering ruling.  A U.S. District Court judge on Wednesday tossed out the last election challenge pending in Arizona, dismissing its sweeping fraud claims as "sorely wanting of relevant or reliable evidence."  "Allegations that find favor in the public sphere of gossip and innuendo cannot be a substitute for earnest pleadings and procedure in federal court," U.S. District Court Judge Diane Humetewa wrote in a blistering 29-page ruling.

Officials Find 12 Uncounted Ballots in Race GOP Leads by - You Guessed It - 12 Votes.  Mind-boggling things are happening in the race to represent New York's 22nd Congressional District.  Republican Claudia Tenney, as of the reported results Saturday, led incumbent Democratic Rep. Anthony Brindisi by 12 votes, according to The Post-Standard in Syracuse.  Last week, 55 uncounted ballots were mysteriously found, The Washington Examiner reported.

Eight More States Join the Texas SCOTUS Case.  Now it is no longer Ken Paxton playing Lone Ranger.  The addition of eight states to the lawsuit now means that nearly a third of the states are litigants, and the Supreme Court's ability to blow this off as nothing shrinks dramatically.

Allen West:  Seven States Will Join Texas in SCOTUS Lawsuit Against Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.  Col. Allen West joined Steve Bannon Tuesday evening on The War Room.  Allen West, the Republican Party Texas state leader, went on to discuss today's Texas lawsuit against Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania at the Supreme Court.  West told Steve Bannon that Louisiana joined the lawsuit on Tuesday afternoon [12/8/2020].  Louisiana AG Jeff Landry announced earlier this afternoon that Louisiana is joining in on the Texas lawsuit filed yesterday against the states of Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania over irregularities and lawlessness in the conduct of the 2020 election.

Will the Supreme Court Take the Texas Case?  [Scroll down]  The fact that a state is suing other states means it goes directly to the Supreme Court.  They don't have to bother with anybody else.  And they also, the suit is not relying on accusing individuals of fraud or cheating.  Instead, it's based on uncontested facts, which are these elected officials, usually the governors and their secretaries of state, altered the election laws without referring to states' legislators who have plenary power to determine how elections are run in each state.

Who Will Be the Fraud Deniers?  Election fraud at the industrial scale perpetrated in the 2020 election is a crime most Americans will remember all their lives.  Books and movies will come out.  Retired math PhDs exiled to the basement by their spouses will continue to find statistical patterns that simply do not happen in straight data sets.  Like all great crimes, the 2020 election fraud will have a diffusion curve with early believers and early deniers, later adopters and fewer deniers and finally, only the ideologically blind will deny.  Diffusion curves happen in nature, in technology, in disease spread, in the understanding of any popular idea.  In early stages only the really committed dig in.  Over time, a realization makes its way into popular culture and eventually most have generally seen the data.  We are departing the early adopter stage of 2020 election fraud understanding.  The all-in media is double timing to convince the later adopters there is nothing to see here.  It isn't working.  Too much stuff is coming out from too many places and there are just too many alternative web sites publishing fraud examples on such a scale it cannot be denied by any but the willful.

Arizona Supreme Court agrees to review voter fraud case.  In a victory for Arizona's GOP, the state's Supreme Court has decided to take on an expedited appeals case over voter fraud.  On Monday, the state Supreme Court said it will review the appeal, but will not be hearing oral arguments.  The suit was filed by Arizona GOP chair Kelli Ward who called to overturn the state's election results and cited evidence of duplicated ballots.  She had filed the initial suit last week, but it was dismissed by a Maricopa County superior court judge who, in part, cited a filing deadline technicality.

The Texas lawsuit in the Supreme Court is huge.  As I noted [elsew]here, partisan judges are issuing what I will politely call "garbage" decisions.  Judges are refusing to consider the evidence, with only one Nevada court attempting to do so.  Instead, they make variations of the argument that, if courts were to consider Trump's claims, they would run the risk of "disenfranchising" Biden voters.  That is a singularly dishonest argument.  Disenfranchisement occurs when people are deprived of the right to vote.  No one was deprived here.  What Trump is doing, with his request that every legal vote count, is asking that courts invalidate illegal votes.  You cannot disenfranchise an illegal voter, whether that "voter" is dead, a computer algorithm, or a form filled out in a Chinese print shop.

Setting the Stage for Revolution.  The 2020 election had a series of unprecedented results, any one of which would be a miracle.  For example, Trump increased his vote by 17% and lost, which has never happened in American history.  There was a 20% increase in the vote, something else that has never happened in electoral history.  Compounding all of this is the stunning dishonesty we are seeing.  The media lies so much that they have become worthless at news reporting.  Outside of sports scores, nothing they "report" can be accepted at face value.  In fact, the prudent way to consume American media now is to just assume what they are saying is false.  At least one possible option is eliminated as you guess at the truth. [...] Election results are ignored by the political class, and now those election results may not even be legitimate.  The Democratic Party had to rig their primary to install Biden as the nominee instead of Sanders.  Now it appears they have rigged the general election to install Biden instead of Trump.

Pennsylvania's Democrats filed a silly, dishonest Supreme Court brief.  In October, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court took it upon itself to hold that mail-in ballots could arrive after election day if they were mailed on November 3 and, almost as if to ensure fraud, that those mail-in ballots without postmarks would be presumed to have been timely.  An eight-justice U.S. Supreme Court refused to consider the matter.  After the election, though, Justice Alito ordered that Pennsylvania segregate mail-in ballots, indicating further review.  Republicans duly filed a request for a review, and, on Tuesday [12/8/2020], Pennsylvania filed its unimpressive opposition brief.  Pennsylvania's opening argument is that there's no way the Supreme Court should decide whether a state engaged in unconstitutional conduct in a federal election because doing so is just too big!

Why Every Legal Vote Matters.  Every Legal Vote is a citizen coalition using reports, affidavits and math to answer the key 2020 election questions: was there fraud, was it widespread, and did it impact the outcome of the election?  See something suspicious?  Let us know.  This site is not able to validate such information, but will share it with those who can.  Help preserve election integrity.

This Election Doesn't Pass the Smell Test.  [Scroll down]  In nearly each of the critical swing states, returns showing Trump with a clear lead were suddenly halted in the dead of night, only to resume just before dawn with Biden in the lead.  When I went to sleep around 2:30 a.m. on Election Night, Trump was ahead in most of the swing states.  When I woke up four hours later to write [a previous] column, he was behind.  For that you can thank the media, which "won" this election for Biden by sheer fiat.  Fox News called the swing state of Arizona — thanks, refugees from California! — for Biden almost before the first real Arizonans settled down for dinner.  The slam-dunk state of Alaska wasn't "officially" called for Trump until long after it mattered.  About Pennsylvania — the most corrupt state in the nation, where ballots magically appear just as they are needed to help Democrats — enough said.  The media timed the announcement of the projected winner in each state with an eye to the Narrative, which was that the nation was soundly rejecting the policies of the most effective president of the modern era in favor of a supernumerary in a muzzle.  The writer Evan Thomas once Kinsleyed that media support for the Democrat candidate was worth 15 points at the polls.  This year, it was more like 30.  If this "election" has taught us anything, it's that the American electoral system is irretrievably broken.

Trump Attorney Jenna Ellis:  Supreme Court Only Denied Emergency Injunctive Relief — The Pennsylvania Case Is STILL Pending Before SCOTUS.  Texas on Tuesday [12/8/2020] filed a lawsuit with the U.S. Supreme Court challenging election procedures in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin over potential voter fraud.  Then later this afternoon the Supreme Court denied the Pennsylvania injunction case before the court.  This was the Sean Parnell and Mike Kelly case.  Expert says SCOTUS rejected the PA case without any explanation because the same stuff is covered in the Texas case which is a bigger case that includes GA, MI, and WI.  Following the ruling Senator Doug Mastriano vowed to continue the fight against the fraudulent Pennsylvania election.  And on Tuesday night Trump Attorney Jenna Ellis tweeted out that the injunction was dismissed but the case is still active.

How to Steal an Entire Country.  Investigations and impeachments have been blasted forcefully into our faces for years, thanks to the author of the MSM's Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), Joseph Goebbels, of Third Reich fame, who said, "The most brilliant propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle is borne in mind constantly — it must confine itself to a few points and repeat them over and over. ... A lie told once remains a lie but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth." It appears he also wrote the SOPs for Facebook, one of which is clearly "propaganda works best when those who are being manipulated are confident they are acting on their own free will."  Now, all across the MSM, Biden's "victory" consequences are given the fait accompli treatment.  We should all just behave and accept reality.  It sounds and reads like this:  "Trump is baselessly contesting the results."  "Trump campaign court cases have been thrown out due to baseless claims."  All the "doing" is from the Trump side, and it's wasting everyone's time.  The Democrats haven't done a thing, obviously.  They are the innocent victims, once again, of Trump's craziness.  "Meanwhile, President-Elect Biden saw his shadow again today."  There is nothing baseless about what happened.

Michigan House Chairman Tells Dominion CEO to Appear or Be Subpoenaed.  A Michigan lawmaker leading the investigation into the 2020 election threatened Dominion Voting Systems CEO with a subpoena if he doesn't appear before his committee voluntarily.  State Rep. Matt Hall, a Republican who chairs the Michigan House Oversight Committee, said in a Dec. 7 letter obtained by The Epoch Times that he sent a missive last month asking Dominion CEO John Poulos to testify before the committee.  "I have not received an answer to my request.  I am writing again to request your appearance before the House Oversight Committee so that we can further investigate Dominion's role in the election," Hall wrote to Poulos in the new letter.  The representative said there have been a number of claims and accusations regarding Dominion's software and the results of the election and that Poulos could help lawmakers and voters better understand the election software.

Texas Case Challenges Election Directly at Supreme Court.  On Monday [12/7/2020], just before midnight, the State of Texas filed a lawsuit that is far more important than all of the others surrounding the presidential election of November 3rd.  Texas brought a suit against four states that did something they cannot do:  they violated the U.S. Constitution in their conduct of the presidential election.  And this violation occurred regardless of the amount of election fraud that may have resulted.  The four defendant states are Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

Americans can't let the left steal the 2020 election.  The left is famous for ignoring the law.  Hillary, Comey, and Biden are perfect examples of unapologetically tossing away any pretense that laws matter.  And because the left has no respect for the law, the United States is on the verge of having a presidential election stolen from the American voter's hands.  So significant are the consequences that anti-American forces normally acting behind the scenes are out in the open, flagrantly telegraphing their future moves to finally overthrow the Trump administration.  Americans are deluged day in and day out with declarations that the election is over.  Says who, the propaganda forces that help steal the election?  Americans are well aware that currently, Joe Biden is ahead in the current election count; the American people can see the numbers.  What Americans are saying is that the numbers are fake.  The numbers do not add up to reality — a reality that saw one candidate draw tens of thousands of voters at multiple events while the other candidate couldn't muster up more than 300 even with help from Obama and Bon Jovi.

Pollster Says Joe Biden Didn't Win Presidential Election:  "The Numbers Just Don't Add Up".  Pollster Patrick Basham explained during an interview with Fox News's Mark Levin why he believes Joe Biden's supposed election victory, while "not statistically impossible," is "statistically implausible."  Basham said during the interview that aired Sunday [12/6/2020] that he looked at numerous "non-polling metrics," which have a "100 percent accuracy rate in terms of predicting the winner of the presidential election," to come to his conclusion.  "Something very strange has happened because the numbers just don't add up," he said referring to the election results.  Some of the "dozen or more" metrics include "party registration trends, how the candidates did in their respective presidential primaries, the number of individual donations, [and] how much enthusiasm each candidate generated in the opinion polls."  He said these metrics pointed to a Trump victory in 2016 and "that was again the case in 2020."  "So if we are to accept that Biden won against the trend of all these non-polling metrics, it not only means that one of these metrics was inaccurate ... for the first time ever, it means that each one of these metrics was wrong for the first time and at the same time as all of the others," Basham explained.  The founding director of the Democracy Institute said if 100 observers were only shown the "vote breakdown by demographic group" on election night, 99 "would say, well, obviously, Trump."

Texas Sues Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin at Supreme Court over Election Rules.  The State of Texas filed a lawsuit directly with the U.S. Supreme Court shortly before midnight on Monday [12/7/2020] challenging the election procedures in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin on the grounds that they violate the Constitution.  Texas argues that these states violated the Electors Clause of the Constitution because they made changes to voting rules and procedures through the courts or through executive actions, but not through the state legislatures.  Additionally, Texas argues that there were differences in voting rules and procedures in different counties within the states, violating the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause.  Finally, Texas argues that there were "voting irregularities" in these states as a result of the above.  Texas is asking the Supreme Court to order the states to allow their legislatures to appoint their electors.

Key battleground states show massive election fraud, voting irregularities totally erase Biden's lead.  Voting irregularities and evidence of fraud are quickly piling up in key battleground states across the country.  [Video clip]

Proving "Fraud" in the Fulton County Ballot Counting Room — A Prosecutor's Perspective.  [Scroll down]  I SUSPECT — pure speculation on my part — that DOJ is investigating fraud in Georgia, including Fulton County, and the videotape footage from the surveillance cameras in the ballot counting room is of great interest to them.  The FBI and US Attorney do not require "evidence" of a "crime" BEFORE they start to ask questions.  "Evidence" of a "crime" is what they are searching for through the process of asking questions.  The videotape and the timing of the recorded/reported vote totals create sufficient "suspicion" to justify an inquiry.  Those two pieces of information are then combined with the sworn statements from Observers that they were told to leave as counting was done for the night — when that is objectively not true — plus the media reports that Fulton County officials reported that counting was being halted for the night at 10:30 pm, which circumstantially corroborates the Observers' statements that they were told counting was done for the night.

Trump Campaign Asks Michigan Supreme Court to Declare That Election Process Violated State Constitution.  The Trump campaign on Monday [12/7/2020] asked the Michigan Supreme Court to review a legal challenge seeking "meaningful access" for poll challengers to observe ballot counting in the state.  Although Michigan had already certified its 2020 election results, the campaign is asking the state's top court to declare that the Secretary of State, Jocelyn Benson, violated the state's constitution and election laws by permitting the counting of absentee ballots without meaningful access for poll challengers to observe the counting and processing.  They argue that Benson's actions also violated voters' constitutional right to fair and lawful elections.  "Michigan citizens' constitutional rights are being violated by Secretary Benson's failure to prevent unlawful ballots to be processed and her failure to ensure that statutorily-authorized challengers have a meaningful opportunity to observe and challenge the process," the campaign wrote in their brief.

GOP State Legislatures: Cowardice Under Fire.  Despite the mendacious claims of the legacy "news" media, there is clear evidence that egregious violence was done to election laws in at least five states during the recent presidential contest.  Sworn testimony from dozens of eyewitnesses, well-documented breaches of statutory ballot counting protocol, and damning security camera videos have been presented to legislators in these states.  Republican lawmakers in Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin have the constitutional power and the moral duty to rectify the resultant fraudulent outcomes.  The only obstacle to reestablishing voter sovereignty in these five states is the inaction of the spineless GOP majorities that control their legislatures.  As I and others have previously noted, the Constitution reserves the sole power to select presidential electors and the method by which they are chosen to the state legislatures:  "Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress." No other state official or judge can make this call without legislative consent.  The pathetic excuses of the lawmakers themselves notwithstanding, they can restore election integrity in their states.

Bring on 2021.  If the presidential elections fraud succeeds, 74 million citizens will have their votes nullified.  What would this act of disenfranchisement be other than war by other means?  Such historic elections theft amounts to a coup d'état.  Rigged software and avalanches of phony ballots have replaced bullets as the means of waylaying the people's will. [...] From the instant Joe Biden finishes the oath of office, he becomes the pretender president for tens of millions of patriots.  Grassroots political opposition grows like weeds.

The Evidence Game Liberals are Playing is a Con.  Leftists know perfectly well that their oft-repeated mantra "no evidence of voter fraud" is false because they're the ones who perpetrated or abetted the fraud last month. [...] The "no evidence of voter fraud" mantra is a lie according to epistemology and is meant only to silence dissent.  Properly phrased, this claim boils down to the claim that the proposition expressed as "there was no voter fraud on Election Day" was not evident at the time (or since) for anybody, which is patently absurd.  This proposition was evident at the time for the people who falsified ballots, flipped votes, and so on.  Of course, they won't admit that.  They got paid to do it and to shut up or lie if asked about it.  It's a bit late for a grand jury to ferret the truth.

Blowing the Whistle on Election Fraud.  Jesse Morgan is a truck driver who testified under oath that he witnessed suspected electoral fraudulent activity in October that occurred in his line of duty.  The summary of his testimony is that he transported hundreds of thousands of illegal ballots from New York to Pennsylvania.  Morgan drives for a third-party trucking company which serves as a subcontractor to the United States Post Office.  On hearing Morgan's opening statement, a cloud was lifted from my mind as I suddenly reconciled a bewildering incident that happened where I live a few months back.  One afternoon in September or so, I came down from my second-floor residence to the building's 1st-floor lobby where the residents' mailboxes are located.  I was on my way out, but I noticed that unusually large number of packages had been delivered to the mailing area.  On closer observation I noticed that they were voting ballots.  They were wrapped in clear plastic packaging.  As I left the building, I was struggling to understand why so much election ballots should be delivered, because in my mental assessment they were obviously several times in excess of the people in the building even if they were meant for each resident.

Georgia Elections Supply Web Store Hosted on Canadian Platform.  The website used by the office of Georgia's secretary of state to order blank ballots and other election supplies is hosted on Shopify, a Canadian e-commerce platform that disclosed that it was breached not long before Election Day, The Epoch Times has learned.  The unique address of the website appears on the bottom of order records from local elections offices, some of which were discarded near the secretary of state's distribution warehouse.  The shop's landing page is protected by a password.

Gingrich: Republicans Have to 'Turn Out More Votes Than Stacey Abrams Can Steal'.  On Monday [12/7/2020], former House Speaker Newt Gingrich deflected Republican fears that it does not matter whether or not they vote because alleged Democratic ballot shenanigans will steal the Georgia Senate runoff elections, just as President Donald Trump claims Democrats stole the presidential election in Georgia.  Gingrich said he thinks Democrats stole the election, but he urged Republicans to vote in such high numbers that Democrats cannot pull off the heist again.

2060 Verified Dead Absentee Voters in Wayne County Michigan, how many more are there?  Approximately 566,958 people voted absentee in Wayne County, where Detroit is located, in the 2020 general election. 2060 appear to have been dead.  The Secretary of State published the data of who those specific people were, their home address, and their birthdate.  The Gateway Pundit took that data, and ran it through a simple "deceased suppression" service provided for a fee by the Lorton Data Services company.  The result was that 2,060 names came back as people who are recorded as having both been dead, and having submitted an absentee ballot.

Georgia governor again rejects special session to overturn election results.  Georgia's governor is again telling lawmakers that he won't call a special session to overturn Georgia's election results and appoint 16 presidential electors who would support Republican President Donald Trump instead of Democratic president-elect Joe Biden.  Republican Brian Kemp issued a joint statement Sunday with Republican Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, saying it would violate state law for the General Assembly to name electors instead of following the current state law that calls for the governor to certify electors after results are certified.  "Any attempt by the legislature to retroactively change that process for the Nov. 3rd election would be unconstitutional and immediately enjoined by the courts, resulting in a long legal dispute and no short-term resolution," the two said in their statement.

The Editor says...
The wholesale voter fraud in Georgia, overnight between November 3 and November 4, retroactively changed the voting process, but the Governor doesn't seem too concerned about that.

Dominion Machines Are Proven By To Flip Votes From Trump To Biden.  According to this Twitter thread today, officials in Ware County, Georgia, fed an equal number of votes for Trump and Biden into a Dominion tabulator, which then produced a 26% lead for Biden.  37 Trump votes used in the equal sample run had been "Switched" from Trump to Biden.  In actual algorithmic terms, this means that a vote for Trump was counted as 87% of a vote and a vote for Biden was counted as 113% of a vote.  Those conducting the test were so shocked that they ran the same ballots again.  The same results appeared.

George Soros Appoints Chair of Parent Company to Smartmatic Voting Software to Lead His Foundations.  Left-wing billionaire George Soros has appointed chairman of SGO, which is the parent company to Smartmatic voting software company, Mark Malloch-Brown to be the president of his organization, the Open Society Foundations.  Smartmatic is currently involved in lawsuits headed by Sidney Powell who claims that the voting software company was involved in widespread fraud in the 2020 election.

Sidney Powell 'Kraken' election lawsuit dismissed in federal court.  Judge Timothy Batten in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia has dismissed the lawsuit.  A similar suit in Michigan was also dismissed this morning [12/7/2020].  It's likely Powell will appeal to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta, which itself over the weekend dismissed a similar suit brought by the attorney Lin Wood.

Judge who tossed Michigan case a stereotypical activist judge.  News broke on Monday [12/7/2020] that a federal district court judge in Detroit — an Obama nominee — dismissed Sidney Powell's Michigan lawsuit.  Her ruling was what one would expect from an activist judge, in that it was entirely partisan. [...] Contrary to what naïve people believe, most progressive judges are not dedicated to applying the law impartially in the search for justice.  They are partisan hacks who decide in advance which side should win and then retrofit legal principles to make their decisions appear valid.  Ruth Bader Ginsburg was the paradigm of the modern judge.  One of Ginsburg's intellectual heirs sits on the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.  Here's what you need to know about Judge Linda v. [sic] Parker:  She spent only five years in private practice and the rest of her career working for the government.  She worked in the District of Columbia Superior Court, the EPA, the U.S. Attorney's office for Michigan, the Michigan Department of Civil Rights, and as a judge.  Obama nominated her to the Federal District Court in 2013.  Parker is a Swamp creature whose fealty is to the government and leftism.  She's also clearly an activist, not a scholar.

'The people have spoken': Michigan judge rejects lawsuit from disavowed Trump attorney.  A Michigan federal judge has ruled against a sweeping legal bid to overturn election results in the state, determining the lawsuit brought by an ally of President Donald Trump was riddled with "theories, conjecture and speculation" but little evidence of wrongdoing.  U.S. District Judge Linda V. Parker ruled against a request from Sidney Powell — an attorney disavowed by the Trump campaign who still champions its causes — to force the state to award its electoral votes to Trump despite President-elect Joe Biden winning the state.

Federal judge rejects lawsuit seeking to decertify Michigan's 2020 election results.  A federal judge in Michigan has denied a lawsuit seeking to decertify the state's Nov. 3, 2020 General Election results based on claims of widespread fraud in the distribution, collection, and counting of ballots.  There has been no evidence of such fraud in Michigan's election.  The election results were certified in Michigan on Nov. 23.  In her opinion, Judge Linda V. Parker, of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, called the plaintiffs' request "stunning in its scope and breathtaking in its reach."

The Editor says...
As you might imagine, Judge Linda V. Parker is an Obama-appointed judge.

A six-minute video sums up 2020's impossible election paradoxes.  [Scroll down]  The article is powerful, but sometimes hearing someone speak has more resonance.  That's probably why Basham's 6-minute-long statement on the Mark Levine show, seen in the following video, had been viewed 1.6 million times in 24 hours:  [Video clip]  At bottom, it's completely bizarre that Biden did not sweep the United States.  Instead, he swept a few specific precincts.  If Biden were as popular as his victory indicates, wouldn't his support have been enormous in every state in which he won?  It's simply inconceivable to a logical person that every non-polling metric predicted a massive Trump victory, only to have Biden win in a handful states that had election anomalies never before seen in an American election — but often seen in a Venezuelan one.

Judge Orders Forensic Audit of Dominion Voting Machines in Michigan.  The Trump campaign is celebrating a huge legal victory after Circuit Judge Kevin Elsenheimer said he would allow investigators to conduct a forensic examination of 22 Dominion voting machines used on Election Day in Antrim County, Michigan.  "Our team is going to be able to go in this morning at about 8:30 and will be there for about eight hours to conduct that forensic examination and we'll have the results in about 48 hours, and that'll tell us a lot about these machines," Trump election attorney Jenna Ellis told Fox News.  [Video clip]

A Running Compendium of Fraud Charges in Election 2020.  Many allegations advanced by the president, his surrogates and supporters have been challenged and some have been dismissed by courts or debunked.  Still, in numerous instances, media fact checkers have not been diligent.  They have simply run the allegations by state authorities and other officials who would have orchestrated the alleged fraud or had an interest in minimizing irregularities.  It was thus hardly surprising when the New York Times reported that it had called officials in every state and was told, as the headline said, that there was "No Evidence of Voter Fraud."  That's the kind of statement that inspires skepticism because fraud is inevitable in any big election.  The Times itself seemed to acknowledge just that in the article's sub-headline, which said, without presenting evidence, that there were "no irregularities that affected the outcome."

Reported Burst Pipe in Atlanta Ballot Counting Area Was Overflowing Urinal:  Investigator.  The Election Day incident in Atlanta's State Farm Arena that was first reported as a burst pipe was an overflowing urinal, a state investigator said Sunday [12/6/2020].  Officials in Fulton County said late Nov. 3 that a pipe burst in the arena around 6:07 a.m., causing a delay of several hours in counting absentee ballots.  They also referred to the incident as "a water leak."  Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger's office opened an investigation into the incident.  Frances Watson, the chief investigator for the office, said in a court filing Sunday that the investigation revealed the water leak "was actually a urinal that had overflowed."  The overflowing "did not affect the counting of votes by Fulton County later that evening," she wrote.

The Editor says...
Why did it take a month to investigate this incident and issue a report?

No, The Georgia Vote-Counting Video Was Not 'Debunked.' Not Even Close.  A Big Tech-backed "fact" "checking" outfit claimed to debunk explosive evidence in support of Republicans' claims of significant election problems at a Thursday Georgia Senate hearing.  It didn't.  Not even close.  Newly discovered security footage from Georgia's State Farm Arena showed dozens of ballot counters, media, and Republican observers leaving en masse at the same time from the ballot-counting area for Fulton County.  After they left, a small remnant of about four workers began pulling trunks containing thousands of ballots from underneath a table with a long tablecloth and running them through machines.  The footage supported claims from Republicans that they were told counting had stopped for the night, only to find out hours later that it had kept going on.  You can and should watch the 12-minute portion of the testimony from Jacki Pick here.  [Video clip]

The Georgia Ballot Underground Railroad.  The following composites should help understand the context of the CCTV footage from the November 3rd election count in Fulton County, Georgia.  The video shows a four camera FOV of suite 604, the ballot processing room at the State Farm Arena.  At 10:58:05 p.m., as the crew was finishing cleaning-up at the end of the day, one of the supervisors Ralph Jones (a bald man in a red shirt) received several call[s] on his cell phone.  Shortly after his second call, the footage shows him and another woman with black hair and blond braids (Shaye Moss) removing 4 rolling transport ballot boxes from under a black cloth covered table at the center of the room.  At 11:02:52 p.m., they distribute the ballot trays from the boxes between 4 work stations.  The 'special' count task force that consists of 5 individuals then starts feeding the ballots to the 4 scanners.  The counting continued for close to two hours and ended at about 12:58 a.m.  The footage shows multiple evidence that the 'special' count session was pre-planned and carefully timed, it's also clear that in 116 minute period the team sprinted through the ballot scanning process to meet some sort of a deadline.

MI Witness, Hima Kolanagireddy, Helped Spell Out The 2020 Election For All Of Us.  [Scroll down]  During Hima's full testimony, she spoke about her experiences working as a poll challenger.  She explained how she witnessed white males who were Republican challengers getting harassed.  They were kept from doing their jobs because of their skin color, gender, and political party.  Hima also gave examples of how she was discriminated against when she wore her GOP-challenger ID.  Still, after she changed her ID to a non-affiliated tag, the Democrats in the room treated her with respect and equality.  Hima mentioned that they had assumed she was a Democrat because of 'her brown skin color.'  Okay, people, who are the real racists in our culture today?  Enough is enough.  In closing, here's a link to my favorite MI testimony given by both Hima Kolanagireddy and Andrew Sitto.  It is 41-minutes and worth every minute of your time.  [Video clip]

Report: FBI Raided Maricopa County Residence to Retrieve Evidence of Cyber Intrusion into Voting Systems.  There is an interesting article in Forbes today about a previously unknown FBI raid in Maricopa County, Arizona, where agents seized computers, hard drives, USB sticks and electronic devices in connection with a cyber intrusion into election systems.  The Maricopa County Registrars office reports more than 2.5 million registered voters are within the system that appears to have been the targeted office of the intrusion.  The FBI isn't talking, and the story only surfaced as an outcome of one part, the search warrant, of a sealed court filing.

Michigan Judge Grants Trump Campaign Forensic Audit of 22 Dominion Tabulator Systems.  This is good news.  Earlier this morning [12/6/2020] Trump campaign attorney Jenna Ellis announce a judge in 13th Circuit Court in Michigan, has allowed a forensic audit of the 22 Dominion ballot counting systems used in Antrim County.  [Video clip]

Election Fraud Update for December 7, 2020.  We are rapidly approaching the endgame on election fraud remedies.  States must ratify their final electors by December 8 (the "safe harbor" date), and electors meet and vote on December 14.  Either the Supreme Court will have stopped the steal by that date, or Joe Biden will officially receive enough electoral votes to be elected President.

Ware County tested Dominion tabulators:  Equal number of votes yielded 26% 'lead' for Joe Biden.  A shocking Twitter thread appeared today that presented an exceptionally disturbing piece of evidence showing the extreme likelihood of massive voter fraud through Dominion Voting Systems, the company at the heart of election irregularities across the nation.  The thread, posted by Robb Hurst, claims that Ware County, Georgia, tested Dominion Voting Systems tabulators by having them count an equal number of ballots cast for former Vice President Joe Biden and President Trump.  But instead of spitting out the same number of votes for each candidate, it showed Biden winning by 26%.  Hurst, who is president of a CPA group, also claimed there is corroboration for their findings and asks whether these discrepancies are widespread across the nation.

Of Course This Election Was Stolen.  I've lived almost my entire life in cynical New York and Las Vegas.  I've been a professional sports gambler for over thirty years.  I've seen every con, every scam, and every world-class rip-off known to man.  This election was stolen.  There isn't even a question.  I'll use my sports gaming knowledge to explain.  Take this past Monday's NFL Football game between Philadelphia and Seattle.  Philly lost the game by 6 points.  But what if we all woke up the next morning to find out Philadelphia won.  What if the officials reported, "Philly found 20 extra points after the game was over."  Would sports fans and bettors accept that result?  Well that's exactly what happened to President Trump.  How about if Philly just kept playing until they won, no matter how long it took.  What if the refs added an entire game, or two, or three.  Eventually at some point Philly might take a lead.  What if at that moment they awarded Philly the victory.  Would sports fans and bettors accept that result?  Well that's exactly what happened to President Trump.

Apocalypse Now?  Did Joe Biden and the Democrats steal this year's presidential election?  Polls suggest that a great many Americans, including many Democrats, believe that they did.  I don't know whether the election was stolen or not.  I will say this: the Democrats went to great lengths to commit, or enable, voter fraud.  To cite just a couple of examples, in a number of states, including my own, they used corrupt, collusive litigation to eliminate the minimal safeguards that prevented fraudulent mail-in votes from being submitted, like the requirement that signatures be witnessed.  Why would they do this?  Obviously, they didn't want those safeguards to stand in the way of fraud.  And in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Detroit, Democrats locked Republican poll watchers out of the buildings where mail-in votes were being evaluated and tabulated.  The Republicans had to get court orders just to be admitted to the premises, long after counting was under way.  Why would the Democrats lock out Republicans?  Because they intended to count the votes honestly?

Federal Agents Raid Maricopa AZ Home Owned By IT Expert in Voter-Data Theft Investigation.  According to a bombshell new report from Forbes, federal agents raided a Maricopa, Arizona home belonging to 56-year-old IT expert named Elliot Kerwin.  The raid came on November 5th as the 2020 election continued to go on.  The report claims that the agents were in search for evidence relating to a cyberattack and stolen voter data.  They allegedly confiscated eight hard drives, three computers and a bag of USB sticks as well.

The FBI Is Investigating Voter Data Theft In This Key 2020 Election Battleground.  On the morning of November 5, as the 2020 election hung in the balance, Arizona federal agents raided a two-story house in Fountain Hills, Maricopa County, a county that had become a key battleground in the presidential race.  The agents were looking for evidence of a cyberattack on an unnamed organization and stolen voter data.  They left with eight hard drives, three computers and a bag of USB sticks.  The resident of the property, a 56-year-old IT expert named Elliot Kerwin, was served the warrant.  He is not yet facing charges and was unreachable for comment at the time of publication.  There is no indication that anything other than voters' information, which can be acquired for a few hundred dollars in Arizona counties, was taken from the affected office.

Judge Orders Forensic Audit of 22 Dominion Machines in Michigan, Trump Lawyers Celebrate.  You may remember the strange case of Antrim County, the very pro-Trump red county, where the voting results professed to show that Joe Biden had won by a huge amount.  Well, the election officials knew something was wrong when they saw it, knowing there was no way that happened.  But when they investigated, they found that somehow the votes had been switched.  The Secretary of State, a Democrat tried to blame "human error" saying that an election official in the county hadn't done an update which caused the result.  But then that immediately raised several questions.  Was there a problem in the system that allowed for this to happen?  Why would not having an update result in this?  And could it have happened in other places that used the Dominion system both in the 47 counties in which it is used in Michigan as well as in other parts of the country?

Voter Rights Group Notifies DOJ of Pakistani Link With Nevada Election Email System.  A U.S. voter rights group informed the Department of Justice on Dec. 3 of a link between the Nevada election emails system and a Pakistani company with ties to military and intelligence.  True the Vote requested the Nevada voter file from the secretary of state after the Nov. 3 election.  The state responded with a voter file in an email, but the message was copied to Waqas Butt, CEO of Pakistani-based Kavtech Solutions Ltd.  In a letter to Assistant Attorney General for National Security John Demers, Catherine Engelbrecht, president of True the Vote, wrote that she was shocked to discover the Pakistani address in the carbon copy field of the email.  "The fact that this company was cc'd on an email containing access to the Nevada voter registration database appears to be evidence of a breach within the Nevada Secretary of State's email system," Engelbrecht wrote.

Justice Alito Moves up Supreme Court Deadline in Key Pennsylvania Mail-In Ballot Case.  U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito asked officials in Pennsylvania to file briefs by the morning of Dec. 8 in response to an emergency injunction petition filed by Republicans seeking to invalidate or rescind the results of the Nov. 3 presidential election in the Keystone State.  That day is the "safe harbor" deadline that requires controversies surrounding elections to be ended, so states can choose their electors before the Dec. 14 meeting of the Electoral College.  Alito initially called for response arguments by Dec. 9, before moving the due date earlier by a day.  The new deadline signals that the Supreme Court intends to rule on the request for the injunction before the safe harbor deadline runs out.  Marc Elias, the top attorney leading the Democrats' post-election legal effort and who last month called the same lawsuit "frivolous," wrote on Twitter on Dec. 6 that he is "NOT worried about the date briefs are due" in the Supreme Court.

Alito Moves Up Deadline For Supreme Court Briefing In Pennsylvania Case, Bringing [it] Within [the] 'Safe Harbor' Window To Intervene.  Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has made a critical decision which may signal that court's willingness to hear a controversial case attempting to flip Pennsylvania's 2020 election results.  Originally, Alito set a Wednesday deadline for the state to respond to GOP Rep. Mike Kelly's lawsuit alleging that a 2019 state election reform, known as Act 77, violates both the state and federal constitutions by creating a so-called "no-excuse mail-in" voting regime.  Many took the Wednesday deadline as political theater, as it would place the case outside the "safe harbor" window which requirest that controversies "concerning the appointment of all or any of the electors ... by judicial or other methods or procedures" to be determined" at least six days before the time fixed for the meeting of the electors," according to Law & Crime.

Georgia House Republicans Call for Mail-In Ballot Process Review.  Georgia's Republican House Majority Leader Jon Burns and others are calling on the secretary of state's office to review the absentee ballot process ahead of the Jan. 5 runoff for two Senate seats.  Burns submitted a letter signed by over 100 state House members to encourage Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger to ensure that Georgia voters "have confidence" in the state's election process ahead of the runoff, after conflicting statements issued by Raffensberger's office and Fulton County officials since the Nov. 3 election.  Burns and the other GOP lawmakers did not make mention of disputes over the Nov. 3 presidential election.  Last week, the Georgia Legislature saw a surveillance video presented by President Donald Trump's legal team that shows containers being wheeled out from underneath a table on Election Night, while the team said that poll observers and other election workers were told to go home for the night.  They said that the video, along with statements provided by election officials, shows that vote counters stayed behind until around 1:30 a.m. on Nov. 4.

Biden Received 'Mathematically Impossible' Spike in Votes When Suspicious Ballots Counted in Georgia.  On Thursday, the Trump legal team presented what they believe is smoking-gun evidence of ballot stuffing in Georgia:  Surveillance footage of ballot counting at State Farm Arena that allegedly shows poll workers being dismissed for the night, only to have four workers stay behind, after which four suitcases of ballots are pulled out from under a table and counted for several hours.  Of course, Georgia election officials deny that there was any impropriety and claim that normal procedures were followed. [...] While these conflicting claims get sorted out, there's another facet to story that has come to light.  According to Trump's senior legal adviser Jenna Ellis, there was a "huge spike" in votes for Joe Biden "during the same time the suitcases of ballots started to be scanned."

Trump legal team celebrates after Michigan judge allows probe of Dominion voting machines.  A Michigan judge is allowing a forensic investigation of 22 Dominion vote tabulation machines in rural Antrim County amid claims that votes there were compromised.  Trump campaign attorneys celebrated the decision although the case is not related to the presidential contest.  "Our team is going to be able to go in this morning at about 8:30 and will be there for about eight hours to conduct that forensic examination and we'll have the results in about 48 hours, and that'll tell us a lot about these machines," attorney Jenna Ellis said on "Fox & Friends" Sunday morning [12/6/2020].

Elections Undecided by Midnight are Void & Preempted by Federal Law — Foster v Love (1997; 9-0 Decision).  "When the federal statutes speak of 'the election'... they plainly refer to the combined actions of voters and officials meant to make a final selection of an officeholder...  By establishing a particular day as 'the day' on which these actions must take place, the statutes simply regulate the time of the election, a matter on which the Constitution explicitly gives Congress the final say."  Foster v. Love, 522 U.S. 67, 71-72 (1997)  We will take a closer at this binding precedent below, but in preview, please understand that it emanates from a 9-0 decision of the United States Supreme Court, wherein the entire Court joined, not just the outcome, but also the opinion on this very point.  The voters vote.  The officials count.  These combined actions form "the election," and the election must be decided on the day.  States that failed to make a final selection of officeholder by midnight after Election Day have violated the statute, subjecting the nation at large to the very evils Congressionally mandated deadlines were drafted to prevent.

Fight for It.  Where their votes have not been faithfully tabulated and their consent properly conferred to the elected representative, there is no transfer of consent.  Where there is no transfer of consent, there is no legal authority to pass laws or convene congress.  The consent has not been transferred and the republic ends immediately.  This is why voter fraud, that has taken place in every election, is so often allowed and winked at among those conducting the elections.  This is not right, it is not legal and it is fraud.  However, it rarely changes the outcome or the intent and is preferred to the alternative, which is to invalidate all of congress and the executive powers of the nation.  That is not what happened on November 3, 2020.  After years of the corrupt actions of officials within the Department of Justice who attempted to delegitimize the 2016 election of Donald Trump by pursuing continual and fraudulent accusations against a sitting president with the hopes of overturning a legitimate election (albeit subject to some of the same corrupt practices as were employed in 2020), they sought to accomplish the same goal through the 2020 election allowing for a pervasive and coordinated vote fraud through every possible means, i.e. fraudulent ballots and rigged voting machines.  The people, through their legitimate votes rejected Joe Biden and his agenda of communist rule, something that cannot be allowed to overcome the republic even by popular vote, but the legitimacy for action of the militias nationwide comes from the fraudulent votes cast in such enormous numbers as to defy all logic and circumstance of a normal election.  They sought to accomplish the elimination of free choice in the say of our government.  This is a treasonous act all on its own.

Our approach to election fraud is lunacy.  Tens of millions of Americans feel with good reason that the election is tainted.  There are hundreds of well documented anomalies including over a thousand affidavits stating under the penalty of perjury that significant irregularities occurred.  But we are relying on a skeleton crew of privately funded lawyers to try to get to the bottom of what by all accounts appears to be a massive fraud.  Why is this all-important effort left to a few brave souls and not the main focus of our government's efforts?  Where is the Justice Department?  The FBI?  Why doesn't the Defense Department do a review of military mail-in ballots that inexplicably went 100% for Joe Biden?  How about a forensic analysis of the tens of thousands of Biden-only mail-in ballots that weren't folded and appeared to be on different paper?  Who rented the P.O. boxes used for tens of thousands of illegal voters in Georgia and other states?  Where is the investigation of postal officials who ordered carriers to throw away Trump mailings?  Why aren't the poll workers who sent observers home and then illegally continued counting in the dark of the night arrested and charged?

A man who has to be asked to do his job is incompetent.
Dozens Of House Republicans Demand AG Barr Investigate Apparent Fraud In Georgia.  A group of House Republicans sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr on Friday [12/4/2020] demanding the AG investigate alleged fraud in Georgia and work to ensure fair runoff elections slated for January in the Peach State.  "As Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger revealed Monday [11/30/2020], his office is investigating multiple organizations attempting to register illegal and invalid voters in Georgia," says the letter, signed by 21 current members and four members-elect.  "As the Georgia Secretary of State's office lacks prosecutorial power, we ask that the Department of Justice simultaneously investigate and prosecute this illegal behavior under federal law."

Georgia County Can't Find Chain of Custody Records for Absentee Ballots.  Georgia's Dekalb County does not know if it is in possession of the ballot transfer forms used to record the chain of custody for absentee ballots dropped into some 300 drop boxes around the state.  Dekalb County responded to an open records request for the transfer forms from The Georgia Star News by writing that "it has not yet been determined if responsive records to your request exist."  "DeKalb County and [The Georgia Department of Voting, Registration and Election] VRE are currently operating within its COVID-19 Emergency Response Plan.  These remote operations and VRE's current workload greatly impact how soon responsive records can be provided," the response from the department stated.  "VRE is expected to make this determination within thirty business days."

The Editor says...
Thirty business days from now will be a little late.  But thanks for pretending to get to the bottom of it.

A Non-Transparent Vote By Force, Should Invalidate Votes — PERIOD!  The most powerful argument yet to true the 2020 U.S. election was made by [...] activist Scott Adams, retweeted by General Michael Flynn.  Adams states, "You don't need further voter fraud evidence if bullies chased out the witnesses.  Everything you say after this doesn't matter.  The election was non-transparent by force."  What could be the remedy to this?  [Video clip]

Michigan GOP: Secretary of State Trying to Delete Election Data Amid Audit Calls.  The Michigan GOP on Friday [12/4/2020] raised concerns about a memo sent by Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson that "is pushing for the mass deletion of election data," although a spokesperson for the secretary's office later said the process is routine.  The GOP said Benson's office told clerks in Michigan counties to "delete Electronic Poll Book software and associated files" amid calls to audit the election while flagging it was concerning.  They were likely referring to a Dec. 1 memo from the Michigan Bureau of Elections, which is overseen by Benson's office, that states "[Electronic Poll Book] software and associated files must be deleted from all devices by the seventh calendar day following the final canvass and certification of the election (November 30, 2020) unless a petition for recount has been filed and the recount has not been completed, a post-election audit is planned but has not yet been completed, or the deletion of the data has been stayed by an order of the court or the Secretary of State."

Trump campaign charges 'not a single' witness interviewed by DOJ.  President Donald Trump's campaign on Dec. 1 fired back at Attorney General William Barr after the nation's top law enforcement official reportedly claimed that officials haven't seen evidence of widespread election fraud.  "With all due respect to the Attorney General, there hasn't been any semblance of a Department of Justice investigation," Rudy Giuliani, a Trump lawyer, and Jenna Ellis, a Trump campaign attorney, said in a joint statement.  "We have gathered ample evidence of illegal voting in at least six states, which they have not examined.  We have many witnesses swearing under oath they saw crimes being committed in connection with voter fraud.  "As far as we know, not a single one has been interviewed by the DOJ.  The Justice Department also hasn't audited any voting machines or used their subpoena powers to determine the truth.

Riveting evidence in Georgia; Governor calls for signature audit; GOP demands Barr investigate.  Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp on Thursday [12/3/2020] called for a signature audit of the state's election results after the Trump campaign legal team presented a long list of irregularities in the state's election.  "I've called early on for a signature audit, obviously the secretary of state, per the laws and the Constitution would have to order that; he has not done that," Kemp said in a Fox News interview.  "I think it should be done.  I think, especially with what we saw today, it raises more questions.  There needs to be transparency on that.  I would again call for that, and I think in the next 24 hours hopefully we'll see a lot more from the hearings that the legislature had today and we'll be able to look and see what the next steps are."

Lin Wood:  All 900 military ballots cast in Fulton County, Georgia went to Joe Biden.  Wood made the request after discovering that all 900 military ballots cast in Fulton County were cast for Joe Biden.  In his lawsuit on election fraud in Georgia, Wood noted:  "In addition to the alternative requests for relief in the preceding paragraphs, hereby restated, Plaintiffs week a permanent injunction requiring the County Election Boards to invalidate ballots cast by:  1) voters whose signatures on their registrations have not been matched with ballot, envelope and voter registration check; 2) all 'dead votes'; and 3) all 900 military ballots in Fulton County that supposedly were 100% for Joe Biden."

What If the Deep State Has No Bottom?  In recent years, in violation of the law, the CIA has spied on American citizens, undertaken domestic acts outside of its purview, and operated a rogue agency.  Under the direction of John Brennan, as deep a swamp creature as has ever existed, the CIA engaged in long-term illegal operations against the Trump campaign and, even after Brennan, carried it over to the Trump Administration.  Time will tell if the CIA was involved in manipulating the 2020 election.  CIA servers positioned in Germany may have received election data which was then recalibrated in some way and sent back to the US.  Why does this relay even exist?  With a Biden Administration, if it were to happen, the CIA would grow ever more powerful, eventually manipulating nearly every aspect of American politics, let alone foreign policy and defense.

This Crisis Demands a Constitutional Analysis of Voting Machines.  Clearly, some constitutional rules should apply to these machines because they control our most basic rights, which includes the right to vote and the right to have it counted honestly.  It must surely be considered unconstitutional for a municipality to utilize voting machines that allow poll workers to switch a vote if they thought a mistake was made.  Poll workers cannot be allowed to hack into the machine's hardware or software and reverse a vote just because they thought a voter hit the wrong button.  Consequently, the idea that there must be constitutional rules regarding both the hardware and the software used in voting machines is not far-fetched, and indeed, its implementation is now obviously long overdue.

NV fraud case: 42K voters voted twice, 1500 dead voted, and more.  On Thursday, Donald Trump's lawyers presented their case of voter fraud in Nevada State Court, Carson City.  The ruling is expected today [12/4/2020].  If accurate, they have more than enough to overturn the election.  There is no way to know who these people voted for, but it should be redone.  The lawyers, who also represent Republicans, said in court that approximately 42,000 voters "voted twice" in Nevada, 2,468 voters legally changed their addresses to another country or state, 1,500 voters were listed as deceased by the Social Security Administration, about 20,000 voters had a non-Nevada mailing address and 6,000 voters who had U.S. Postal Service "flags" on "vacant addresses."

Nevada GOP to appeal judge's refusal to nullify Biden win.  The Nevada state Republican Party promised Friday to appeal a judge's refusal to overturn the results of the statewide presidential election and stop the state's six Democratic presidential electors from voting for President-elect Joe Biden.  A statement from GOP spokeswoman Jessica Hanson came after Judge James Todd Russell in Carson City said he saw no clear or convincing proof "under any standard of evidence" that he should declare President Donald Trump the winner in Nevada or throw out results of the statewide vote.

New Video Raising Questions About Election Fraud Allegations.  A video is circulating today that shows Ruby Freeman and her daughter Shae Freeman Moss allegedly conspiring to hand a USB flash drive to an election worker.  The footage shows the two huddled and talking at a table when a young man approaches them and Shae Freeman hands him what looks like a USB flash drive.  Freeman surreptitiously puts the USB in the election worker's pocket and he then walks away.  Several Trump campaign expert witnesses have testified that USB drives can easily be used to alter data, even flip votes, in the Dominion machines.  At first glance, it is difficult to understand what is transpiring.  Twitter user Airik Henderson, seems to put the missing pieces in place with his analysis of the behavior in the video which he has slowed down so that the viewer can better understand what allegedly happened.

Minnesota Witness:  Mentally Handicapped Individuals Forced to Vote for Biden.  Stealing the elderly and mentally disabled vote is a well-documented and fraudulent election practice taking place across the nation.  Specifically, voting "handlers" have been known to register to vote on behalf of these vulnerable citizens or force them to vote for the candidate they are representing.  On Nov. 2, 2020, in Otsego, Minnesota, a retired construction worker, developer, and land investor made one such declaration.

Wisconsin Supreme Court deals Trump election challenges 3rd defeat in 30 hours.  For the third time in less than 30 hours, four justices on the state Supreme Court dealt President Donald Trump a setback Friday, saying they wouldn't accept a lawsuit by Trump allies who wanted to let Republican lawmakers instead of voters decide how to cast the state's electoral votes.  As with two decisions Thursday, Friday's ruling was 4-3, with conservative Justice Brian Hagedorn joining the court's liberals to rebuff the president as he seeks to take away Democrat Joe Biden's narrow win of the state.  "The relief being sought by the petitioners is the most dramatic invocation of judicial power I have ever seen," Hagedorn wrote.

A Sampling of Recent Election Fraud Cases from Across the United States.  Each and every one of the cases in this database represents an instance in which a public official, usually a prosecutor, thought it serious enough to act upon it.  And each and every one ended in a finding that the individual had engaged in wrongdoing in connection with an election hoping to affect its outcome — or that the results of an election were sufficiently in question and had to be overturned. [...] This database is not an exhaustive or comprehensive list.  It does not capture all cases and certainly does not capture reported instances or allegations of election fraud, some of which may be meritorious, that are not investigated or prosecuted.

The 2020 Election Evidence Project.  Are you (like me) getting lost in all the different threads of the massive 2020 Election Fraud scheme?  The 2020 Election Evidence Project helps to keep it all straight and in one handy easy to navigate website.  Much of the evidence to date is linked here.

Election Fraud, Political Corruption, and its Consequences.  [Scroll down]  Apart from expert forensic testimony, it's rare that we get eyewitness evidence of obvious fraud, especially this year where in the disputed states various stratagems were employed (often under the excuse of preventing transmission of COVID-19 to prevent observation or the mysterious midnight "shutdowns" in key states during which votes were tallied).  This week there was a significant exception in Fulton County, Georgia where Ruby Freeman, her daughter Shaye Moss, and several other poll workers appear to have engaged in major ballot stuffing after removing the election observers.  They did so on the basis of a phony claim that a water main break meant they were closing down the counting.  Once the watchers were gone, they went to work and the spike in votes for Biden at that time seems to confirm the fraud claim.  They were caught only because there was a camera system in the venue of which they were apparently unaware.

Sidney Powell Returns to Newsmax TV to Talk Pre-Marked Biden Votes, Bags of Shredded Ballots, Plenty of Time to Overturn Election Results.  [Scroll down]  On Friday [12/4/2020], the Wisconsin Supreme Court rejected a lawsuit by Trump's legal team, ruling that the case must first wind its way through the state's lower courts.  Nonetheless, as is the case with Donald Trump himself, Powell has remained insistent that there is plenty of time for Trump's legal team to overturn the results of the election.  During a Friday night appearance on Newsmax TV's "Stinchfield", in reference to the December 8 "safe harbor" deadline that frees a state from further challenge if it resolves all disputes and certifies its voting results, Powell said:  "With the fraud case, the Dec. 8 deadline doesn't apply."

Is There Another Scenario That Makes Justice Alito's Dec. 9 Response Date Meaningful in Different Way?  As some have noted, the end of the "safe harbor" period — December 8 — is simply a date established by Congress by which a state benefits if all election disputes are settled and the outcome is certified by the state at least six days prior to the meeting of the Electoral College.  The states are not required to meet this deadline, it only provides that certain challenges to a state's naming of electors will not be entertained if the state does meet the deadline.  What many have correctly noted is that this "safe harbor" provision has no legal effect on what the Supreme Court can do if it were to find merit in any election challenge it chooses to hear.  Until the Electoral College actually meets and votes, the Court possesses the authority to issue an injunction preventing the electors from any particular state from being able to lawfully participate on the basis that the manner of their selection was legally invalid.

More suspicious voting data arise in Virginia.  There are many questions about the presidential election others have documented.  Virginia would seem to have been solidly blue.  Ms. Powell and others continue to insist they have evidence of something in the vote-counting in Virginia.  To further my personal mission to examine some of the data myself, I applied the same formulas to the Virginia JSON data that I utilized on the Pennsylvania data.  My goal is to find additional items that need to be questioned and audited in any state with discrepancies.  I have calculations now that allow me to extract the vote total, the percentages to each candidate, and the timestamp in the JSON file.  I now have the ability to examine by hour or by minute the reported totals.  In Virginia, I found some items that I have to question.

If vote fraud wins in 2020, prepare for life to get ugly.  In the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, we have heard about massive voter fraud in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.  It appears that the fraud, if reversed, would change the winner in these states from Joe Biden to Donald Trump.  The electoral votes in question add to 79.  This would give Trump a total of 311, easily making him the winner.  Trump has tried suing to right the situation, but unfortunately, almost all of the judges hearing the cases dismiss them without even giving Trump's lawyers the right of discovery.  These judges are ignoring several smoking guns.  Will the Supreme Court come to the rescue?  If they do, they can make judgments regarding only the crimes that may have been committed.  They cannot decide who gets the electors.  This is the state legislators' responsibility.  It will be helpful if the Court reminds the legislators of this.  For the states in question, all but Nevada have a Republican majority in their legislatures.

Nevada Judge Rules Against Election Contest Brought on Behalf of Trump Electors.  On Friday afternoon [12/4/2020] a Nevada state court judge in Carson City ruled in favor of the State of Nevada and against the six GOP Electors named for President Trump, holding that the Plaintiffs had not proven that fraudulent ballots were cast in a number sufficient to change the outcome of the election.  The Judge's opinion is a good example of the problems that confront plaintiffs in an election challenge such as the one the Trump Campaign and surrogates have been waging over the validity of mail-in ballots — all the evidence rests in the hands of the opposition.

Electoral College Deadlines Not 'Set In Stone': Election Integrity Watchdog.  An election integrity watchdog said the current Electoral College deadlines not only have "zero constitutional basis" but are preventing states from fulfilling their legal and ethical obligations to ensure free and fair elections.  The Amistad Project of the non-partisan Thomas More Society released the study on Friday [12/4/2020], making the case that the only constitutionally-set date in the election process is Jan. 20, when the next president of the United States will be sworn in.  All other dates, including the "safe harbor" deadline, the Electoral College vote on Dec. 14, and even the congressional vote count on Jan. 6, are dates set by federal law, which the paper argues are "arbitrary" and founded on obsolete concerns.  "Experts believe that the primary basis for these dates was to provide enough time to affect the presidential transition of power, a concern which is fully obsolete in the age of internet and air travel," The Amistad Project said in a press release.

Sidney Powell:  I Have a Huge Bag of Shredded Ballots in My Office — Raffensperger and Gabriel Sterling Should Be Investigated.  Sidney Powell joined Grant Stinchfield on Friday night on Newsmax TV.  Sidney gave an update on her current fraud cases in Wisconsin and Georgia.  Powell weighed in on her open-and-shut case in Georgia.  [Video clip]

Testimony in Michigan.  A number of readers suggested watching this disturbing testimony in Michigan by Dr. Linda Lee Tarver about voting fraud.  So here it is:  [Video clip]

How Trump Gets Justice for Election Irregularities.  Nobody cares when Biden lies because the lies follow the tide of the elite's approved narrative.  Trump is hated precisely because he sometimes correctly challenges official "truths."  He upsets the doublespeak and says the quiet part out loud.  Because of that history, I'm hesitant to dismiss his election fraud claims.  And we're seeing some familiar parsing by the mainstream media.  "There's no voter fraud," has been amended to "there's no widespread voter fraud."  So should we all accept non-widespread fraud, whatever that means?

Trump campaign files lawsuit seeking new presidential election in Georgia.  The Trump campaign has filed a lawsuit in a Georgia court seeking to halt the certification of presidential election results in that state pending the holding of "a new presidential election" there.  The lawsuit, filed in the Superior Court of Fulton County, alleges that tens of thousands of illegal votes were counted in the election results, resulting in "substantial doubt as to the outcome of the Contested Election."  "[A]ny certification associated therewith should be enjoined, vacated, and nullified," the suit demands, "and either a new presidential election be immediately ordered that complies with Georgia law or such other just and equitable relief is obtained so as to comport with the Constitution of the State of Georgia."

Amistad Project argues in new report that Electoral College deadlines are not set in stone.  The Amistad Project of the non-partisan Thomas More Society released a white paper on Friday making the case that current Electoral College deadlines are arbitrary and not set in stone, contrary to what most news outlets have reported.  The white paper says that these deadlines — Dec. 8 for disputes to be resolved and Electors to be determined, and Dec. 14 for the Electoral College to meet in person and vote in their respective states — are a "direct impediment to states' obligations to investigate disputed elections."  According to the Amistad Project press release, the paper examines the history of Electoral College deadlines, which "are not only elements of a 72-year old federal statute with zero Constitutional basis, but are also actively preventing the states from fulfilling their constitutional — and ethical — obligation to hold free and fair elections.  Experts believe that the primary basis for these dates was to provide enough time to affect the presidential transition of power, a concern which is fully obsolete in the age of internet and air travel."

Video Shows Poll Worker Allegedly Handing a USB Drive to an Unidentified Man.  Previously we reported on the video footage from Georgia which showed election workers, after telling observers and the rest of the workers to leave, stay behind to continue counting ballots in private without observation.  Republican poll-watchers were told that ballot counting finished at 10:25 — and at midnight, workers pulled out suitcases filled with ballots and continued to count them.  [Video clip]  Reportedly, one of the election workers from the video was also observed in another video allegedly handing off what appears to be a USB drive off to an unidentified man.  As the poll worker hands the unidentified individual the object, the man takes the object from the worker during an exaggerated yawn, indicating he is likely engaging in nefarious activity.  [Video clip]

GOP Rep. Cloud says Justice, FBI putting up 'roadblocks' in efforts to verify voter fraud.  Texas GOP Rep. Michael Cloud on Friday [12/4/2020] accused the Justice Department of putting up "roadblocks" in President Trump and others' efforts to uncover election fraud.  "There's plenty of evidence there to see, certainly enough evidence to warrant an investigation," Cloud said on Just the News' "Water Cooler" show.

Trump campaign files lawsuit to order new statewide election in Georgia to challenge 'tens of thousands of illegal votes'.  President Trump's campaign filed a lawsuit in Georgia seeking to invalidate the election results there, the latest in a series of legal challenges aimed at reversing his loss that have so far gone nowhere.  The Trump campaign claimed in a statement there was 'literally tens of thousands of illegal votes that were cast, counted, and included' in the 2020 General Election.  'The massive irregularities, mistakes, and potential fraud violate the Georgia Election Code, making it impossible to know with certainty the actual outcome of the presidential race in Georgia,' wrote Ray S. Smith III, lead counsel for the Trump Campaign.

The night the lights didn't go out.  I operate on the premise that, given sufficient information, intelligent readers should be able to sort this out on their own.  I remain skeptical, to say the least, but I don't think we have have sufficient information to sort this out out on our own or to dismiss the conspiracy theory operative in this case.

Suitcase-gate in Fulton County.  (1) No, you don't "debunk" a video like that by having the alleged perps (or their supervisors/managers/spokespeople) say things like, "We didn't tell the observers to go home; they just went home on their own," and "those aren't suitcases; they are the receptacles in which we always store opened ballots prior to counting." The problem for the accused is that there are many affidavits that were filed prior to the discovery of the newly-acquired video and they dovetail very closely with what is revealed in the video.  Those affidavits allege that the press and the observers were told to go home at a certain time because the counting was stopping for the evening because of a burst pipe.  But there was no evidence of a burst pipe, and the video shows that the press and the observers did in fact leave more or less en masse at about the time the affidavits state they did.  (2) If you listen to the narrative by the witness in the video I posted yesterday [...] you will see that the people who left also included in their affidavits the fact that they returned a couple of hours later and discovered that a few workers had stayed behind counting, and in fact the surveillance video shows the observers' returning at around the time they said.  I repeat:  these affidavits were filed before the video was discovered, and the videos support them.

Australian pundits not buying American media's mantra, call claims of no evidence or fraud 'a lie'.  President Donald Trump is getting some support for his claims of voter fraud from as far away as Australia.  Some members of the media in the land down under are openly challenging the premature crowning of Democrat Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 presidential election, accusing the press in the U.S. of "willfully" misleading the public with the "lie" that Trump has lost his reelection bid.

Democrats' defense of Georgia election fraud video doesn't hold water.  Immediately after the story broke about the video showing workers at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta counting ballots after poll observers had apparently been asked to leave, a purported news site sprang into action to "fact check" the report.  While the "fact check" gave room to Democrat operatives to cover their derrieres, the counter-narrative was ludicrous.  Additionally, new evidence about vote spikes and two of the vote counters behaving suspiciously gave even more credence to Republicans' take on the surveillance video. [...] The facts remain clear:  Poll observers testified they were deliberately cleared out, at which point workers, including two who had behaved suspiciously earlier, scanned ballots like crazy, with that scanning coinciding with an impossibly huge spike in counts that favored Joe Biden.  No wonder Governor Kemp suddenly called for a signature audit.  Even he knew no one would believe the purported facts "explaining" the video.  Sadly, despite all this evidence of illegal conduct, Fulton County still certified its results.

Pennsylvania — Don't Assume Alito Giving Until 12/9 To Respond To Emergency Application Means He's Letting It Die On the Vine.  On December 1, 2020, we covered an emergency application for injunctive relief sought to halt any further actions by Pennsylvania to certify the election, Pennsylvania:  Emergency Injunction Sought From SCOTUS To Halt Any Further Certification Actions. [...] Another Emergency Application, substantially similar, was filed yesterday, December 3.  That made no sense to me, why would they file twice?  I spoke to an attorney handling the case, and the explanation is that the first filing took place prior to a stay being sought from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, which issued the decision at issue.  Out of concern that the US Supreme Court might deny the stay on the procedural ground that a request had not been made to the state court, the attorneys waited for the PA Supreme Court predictably to deny the stay, and then refiled on December 3.

Report: Dominion machine analyzed, and yes, it switched votes.  A witness at a Georgia Senate hearing said an analysis of a Dominion voting machine found it flipped 37 votes in a tiny Georgia county from President Trump to Joe Biden.  Steve Bannon's "War Room" reported someone testifying for the Trump team analyzed the machine.  [Video clip]  The Dominion systems are used in many states across the nation, including a majority of swing states where Trump had significant leads when the polls closed.  Later, vote "dumps" almost exclusively for Joe Biden put the Democrat in the lead.

Gen. Flynn:  Election Witness in ICU, Other Witnesses Had Tires Slashed, House Broken Into Twice.  Former National Security Advisor to President Trump Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn (U.S. Army ret.) spoke on Thursday about the price being paid by Americans speaking out about fraud and irregularities in the recent presidential election, saying that one was hospitalized in the intensive care unit while others have had tires slashed, their home broken into twice or been forced to move.

The Supreme Court and the Electoral Coup.  Since there were no penalties from the previous coup efforts based on the fraudulently obtained FISA warrants, it's only natural that the Deep State and Democrat Party operatives were emboldened to make a third attempt by seizing on the coronavirus crisis to continue the coup effort in Trump's fourth year — this time putting in the fix on the November 2020 Presidential election.  They took advantage of the lockdowns and public fear and pushed specific actions to game the system to increase their delivery of votes leading up to election day.  First they legitimized the wholesale distribution of ballots and mail-in balloting, and then they blanketed swing states with armies of lawyers filing suits to challenge voter ID laws, signature verification laws and extending the deadlines for mail-in ballots.

I'm a Legislator in Pennsylvania, and I'm Suing the Governor for Election Fraud.  Actions by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and secretary of state in the 2020 general election were so fraught with inconsistencies, documented irregularities, and improprieties that the election results for the office of president of the United States cannot be determined.  The actions were so flagrant and egregious that I am a plaintiff in a case in the Commonwealth Court against Gov. Tom Wolf, et al. to seek relief.  The flawed processes associated with mail-in balloting, pre-canvassing, and canvassing have so undermined the election that only the in-person Election Day results have any semblance of validity.  Because the mail-in process was so fatally flawed, the results cannot be audited, which may have been the governor's objective when he acted unilaterally to replace voting machines last year and demanded certain election reforms.

'No one had done this before': Data expert details major push to investigate 2020 voter fraud.  A veteran data expert and onetime Trump campaign staffer revealed to Just the News on Thursday [12/3/2020] the expansive, expensive and in-depth voter fraud investigations in which he and a team of workers have been immersed round-the-clock since the disputed Nov. 3 election.  "I had some ideas in the aftermath of the election about ways to resolve whether or not there was voter fraud or illegal ballots cast in a way that I thought would be definitive," said Matt Braynard, the director of the Voter Integrity Project, in a podcast interview for John Solomon Reports.  "Because, you know, in the day or two after the election, there were all kinds of crazy theories, things that I would consider hearsay or speculation."

Federal Court Is Fast-Tracking Sidney Powell's Request For A Forensic Exam Of Dominion Voting Machines.  A federal appeals court in Georgia has approved an expedited review of pro-Trump attorney Sidney Powell's request for a forensic review of voting machines in three counties.  Powell filed a lawsuit last week alleging that Dominion Election Systems voting machines used in the 2020 election in Georgia are insecure and allow foreign agents to meddle in the U.S. election.  U.S. District Judge Timothy Batten Sr. issued an order on Sunday restricting officials in Georgia's Cherokee, Cobb, and Gwinnett counties from resetting Dominion Election Systems voting machines because of the lawsuit.

What's Happening in US Election Matches What Happened in Venezuela, Expert Says.  Irregularities that have taken place in this year's U.S. presidential election are eerily similar to voting manipulation that helped Hugo Chávez stay in power in 2004, according to a senior former CIA official.  He described Chávez, who ruled Venezuela from 1999 until his death in 2013, as a "new kind of dictator."  Upon his taking power, Chávez revised the country's constitution to increased the presidential term of office from five to six years, but also allowed people to call off his presidency in a referendum, which required 20 percent of signatures of all 11 million voters.  By 2003, opponents of Chávez managed to collect enough signatures to trigger a referendum.  "That's when he started to panic," the former intelligence official — who is also an expert in Latin American politics and counterterrorism — told The Epoch Times.  "So he started talking to a company called Indra, which is a Spanish company that runs elections."

Smoking Gun in Georgia!  Here is how they did it!  You have probably seen the video by now!  But, for those who haven't I expect your reaction will be the same as mine — this may well be the smoking gun that makes it clear that massive fraud was perpetrated on our country.  The only question is whether law enforcement at the highest levels will [...] investigate.  It is short, it is visual, and there can not be any reasonable explanation for what we are seeing.  Election officials in Fulton County, Georgia told the observers and the press to leave at about 10:30 on election night because they were going to quit counting (due to a lie about a water main break) and resume in the morning.  Under Georgia law counting cannot be done in the absence of observers, but the video clearly shows that as soon as the room was cleared a handful of workers began pulling suitcases of ballots from under a table covered by a black cloth, and began feeding them into the machines.

Georgia Video Footage Allegedly Shows Poll Workers Staying Behind, Producing 'Suitcases of Ballots'.  President Donald Trump's legal team on Dec. 3 presented surveillance footage at a Georgia state legislature hearing that appears to show ballot-counting workers telling poll observers late at night on Election Day to leave before continuing to count and pulling out what appears to be suitcases filled with ballots.  A spokesperson for Fulton County, in an email to The Epoch Times, did not dispute the authenticity of the video.  "To date, we are aware of no credible reports of voter fraud or wrongdoing in Fulton County.  Any credible report of such activity will be investigated and addressed as provided by Georgia law," the spokesperson said.  In the hearing on Dec. 3, Jackie Pick, a lawyer who is volunteering with the campaign's legal case, said the team received video footage from State Farm Arena's vote-tabulation center in Fulton County, Georgia.  The team said that GOP poll watchers weren't allowed to watch the counting process in the poll center.

Bombshell video evidence of clear voter fraud presented in Georgia for the first time.  The Georgia election was stolen for Joe Biden.  That is the only viable conclusion one can come to after seeing what was presented for the first time during the Georgia legislature hearings Thursday morning [12/3/2020].  In it, we see voter fraud happening before our eyes.  Attorney Jackie Pick presented video evidence that Georgia election officials in that State Farm Arena tabulation center instructed press and ballot observers to leave around 10:20 pm on election night because counting was going to stop until the morning.  We can see the observers leave while four people stayed behind doing nothing.  Once the observers were gone, the four ballot counters sprung into action, pulling boxes of ballots from under their tables to continue counting.

Vote Counter Who Provided Suitcase Ballots Is Daughter Of Vote Counter Identified As Ruby Freeman.  National File has identified the vote counter in Georgia, who brought in suitcases full of ballots that were counted after observers were told to leave, as the daughter of Ruby Freeman.  Freeman's daughter, who has long blonde dreadlocks, is the woman who a Trump volunteer lawyer identified as the person who brought in suitcases full of ballots at 8:22 a.m.  After the first vote counter was identified as Ruby Freeman, National File has now identified the person who provided the mysterious suitcases full of votes as Freeman's daughter.  In an October 26 Facebook live stream, Freeman said "Y'all want to know who my new supervisor is?  It's my daughter."  She added that "I just do what she say do and it's her show baby, it's her show."

The Editor says...
[#1] Where was this video three weeks ago?  [#2] These are just the people who got caught!  Who knows how many other counties had the same illegal activity.  [#3] One lesson to be learned from this incident is this:  When "Georgia election officials" tell you to leave the building because vote counting has stopped — less than three and a half hours after the polls closed! — don't leave.  If they tell you there has been a water pipe break, and the place is about to be flooded, don't believe it.  Every Election Day from now on — unless the corrupt Georgia election officials are all sent to prison — there will be a sudden interruption on the night of the election, and all the observers will be asked to leave.  Don't leave.  [#3] If the state officials cannot be trusted to run an honest election, the entire country is in serious trouble.

Crooked Operative Filmed Pulling Out Suitcases of Ballots in Georgia Is Identified.  Earlier today Cristina Laila reported on the explosive video that was revealed during the Georgia ballot counting at the State Farm Arena where crooked Democrats pulled out suitcases full of ballots and began counting those ballots without election monitors in the room.  Trump's legal team showed a video from the State Farm Arena tabulation center when poll workers were told to leave at 10:25 PM.  A few "workers" stayed behind and were seen pulling suitcases full of ballots out from under tables to be tabulated!

Does a surveillance video prove Georgia election fraud?  Here's what seems to have happened:  In Fulton County, Georgia, the people who planned to add fake ballots to Biden's vote count on election night had an overall good plan.  First, announce that a burst pipe required everybody to vacate the building until morning and, second, count fake votes.  The planners missed two details.  First, they forgot to make sure the government's documents supported the "burst pipe" narrative.  Text messages emerged showing that nothing had burst.  Instead, there was a quickly contained slow leak that didn't even generate a work order.  Second, they forgot that the State Farm Arena, where the counting took place, has surveillance cameras all over.  On Wednesday [12/2/2020], intrepid volunteers obtained the videos from the surveillance cameras in the room in which the count took place and, by doing so, may have discovered the election fraud smoking gun.  In the video below, at a hearing about election fraud in Georgia on Thursday, a volunteer narrates the video showing surveillance footage of the same room from four different angles:  [Video clip]

The Editor says...
[#1] All surveillance video in a room like this should be shot at 30 frames per second in high-resolution, broadcast quality video.  (The footage being examined yesterday and today is a quad-split, with four (apparently) standard-definition streams in somewhat of a time-lapse mode, with only a few frames per second recorded.)  A week's worth of HD video would require roughly 2.6 terabytes of storage per camera, which is not at all infeasible.  The video server can be housed in the same building and/or the files can be put on The Cloud.  The files should be preserved for at least ten years.  [#2] All the election workers in the room should wear numbered and color-coded vests, like the guys who work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.  There should be no difficulty identifying anyone in the surveillance video, if accusations arise after the election.  [#3] The county elections administrator should personally supervise the counting, and that person should pay a great price if any shenanigans are discovered.  For example, the administrator could be guaranteed a $10,000 tax-free bonus one year after the election if no lawsuits arise by then.

Video: Georgia Vote Counters Appear to Pull Suitcases of Ballots from Under Table After Observers, Media Leave.  Video evidence that appears to show stashed cases of ballots in Georgia was played during a legislative hearing on Thursday [12/3/2020].  President Donald Trump's attorney, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, presented bombshell evidence from surveillance cameras that appeared to catch cases of "absentee and military" ballots being pulled out from under a table to be counted in Fulton County, Georgia.  The alleged incident occurred at 10:30 p.m. at State Farm Arena after counting allegedly stopped when the observers and other workers were told to go home.  The woman testifying said she witnessed four "suitcases" be pulled out from under the table.  That occurred after a supervisor "with blond braids" told poll workers to leave the room.  Four people, including the woman with the braids who told the others to leave, stayed behind to continue counting votes, according to the allegation.

'Smoking Gun' Video Produced During State Senate Election Fraud Hearing in Georgia Has People Talking.  We've been hearing a lot of testimony about voter fraud and irregularities.  But today [12/3/2020] at the Georgia state senate hearing, people got a glimpse of voter fraud allegedly being carried out on the screen in front of them.  The video was of election workers at the State Farm Arena in Fulton County.  According to the affidavits of Republican poll watchers, they and the press were asked to leave at around 10 p.m., told that the vote counting was going to stop until the morning.  But when the press and the Republican observers left, four election workers stayed behind, continuing to count without any observers, in violation of the law, said the Trump campaign team, and pulling out suitcases (boxes) described as ballots that were hidden under a desk away from all the other ballots.  Then they allegedly scan and count ballots, unobserved, for hours, according to the campaign team.  They had three machines there that could scan up to thousands of ballots an hour each.

Georgia Governor Changes [his] Tune After Trump Lawyers Present Troubling Video of Alleged Fraud.  Georgia Republican Governor Brian Kemp roused the ire of President Trump in recent days for not doing more in response to reports of election fraud in his state.  But that may be changing now that Gov. Kemp is calling for a signature audit after CCTV footage was presented on Thursday showing election workers purportedly unloading suitcases of hidden ballots.  Katie wrote earlier about the video presented by the Trump campaign's lawyers during an emergency hearing in Georgia on Thursday.  The video allegedly shows election workers in Fulton County wheeling in suitcases full of ballots after an election worker told poll watchers and others to go home for the night.  The ballots were allegedly then counted for two hours without witness supervision.  Hours after the hearing, Gov. Kemp is reportedly now calling for a signature audit to be conducted in the state.

Dominion contractor at Detroit counting center says thousands of ballots were scanned multiple times.  A contractor for Dominion Voting Systems, who worked at Detroit's TCF Center on Election Day, has told Michigan lawmakers that she saw roughly 30,000 ballots being scanned multiple times by the counting machines.  The contractor, Mellissa Carone, who works as a freelance IT professional, made the allegations Wednesday night before a panel of Michigan House Oversight Committee members.  Carone was at the Detroit center early on Election Day, Nov. 3, until about 4 the next morning.  She also returned to the site later on Nov. 4.

Trump lawyers claim 40,000 double votes in latest Nevada lawsuit.  The Trump 2020 Campaign filed another lawsuit Thursday, telling a Nevada judge it had evidence of deceased people voting and thousands of "double votes."  President Trump lost Nevada to Democrat Joe Biden by 33,596 votes, with the results certified last week by the state's Supreme Court and Gov. Steve Sisolak, essentially securing the state's six Electoral College votes for Biden.  Trump campaign attorney Jesse Binnall, told Judge James Russell that 1,506 votes received in the general election came from deceased voters, according to KLAS-TV of Las Vegas.  Binnall also alleged that 42,284 voters voted twice, roughly 20,000 voters were found to have voted without a Nevada mailing address and 2,468 voters had changed their address to another state.

Trump Team Has Dominion Machine from Small Georgia County — Shows Votes Flipped from Trump to Biden.  The Trump team has obtained a Dominion voting machine in Georgia.  The machine shows votes were moved from President Trump to Joe Biden. [...] According to [John] Fredericks, there were 37 votes that flipped in this small Georgia County on the machine.  However, this represents only .26% of the Georgia ballots.  When extrapolating to the entire state, this equals more than 14,000 votes and Georgia was stolen by only 10,000 votes by Biden.

One Batch of 23,000 Ballots All For Biden Identified in Georgia That Were Fraudulent — More than Enough for Trump Win.  Tonight [12/3/2020] a batch of 23,000 Biden-only ballots have been identified and determined to be fraudulent — removing these fraudulent ballots will give Georgia to President Trump.  [Video clip]

Firm That Conducted 'Audit' of Georgia Voting Machines Has Long History With Dominion.  The firm hired by Georgia's secretary of state to conduct an "audit" of Dominion Voting Systems technology used during the 2020 elections is the same one that previously certified the Dominion systems and also approved a last-minute system-wide software change just weeks before the election.  Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger failed to disclose that the company, Pro V&V, had a preexisting relationship with Dominion that dated back years, in his Nov. 17 statement announcing the results of the audit.  Raffensperger also failed to disclose that Dominion had used technical conclusions from Pro V&V in a pre-election Georgia lawsuit that questioned the reliability of Dominion's systems during a last-minute software fix before the Nov. 3 election.  The testing from Pro V&V had been characterized as "superficial" and "cursory testing" by an expert cited in court documents.

Georgia governor calls for signature audit.  Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp said he wants a signature audit from his secretary of state.  The Republican, who has been criticized by President Trump for his handling of the election, told host Laura Ingraham in a Fox News town hall that he was troubled after hearings before Georgia Senate panels on Thursday in which attorneys working with the president's legal team revealed surveillance video that they claim shows ballot-counting irregularities at State Farm Arena in Atlanta.  "I called early on for a signature audit.  Obviously, the secretary of state, per the laws in the Constitution, would have to order that.  He has not done that.  I think it should be done," Kemp said of Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.  "I think especially what we saw today, it raises more questions.  There needs to be transparency on that.  I would again call for that.  I think in the next 24 hours, hopefully, we will see a lot more from the hearings that the legislature had today, and we will be able to look and see what the next steps are," he added.

Nearly 1 Million Mail-In Ballots Requested for Georgia Senate Runoffs.  Nearly one million absentee, or mail-in, ballots have been requested for the two U.S. Senate runoffs in Georgia, an elections official announced Wednesday [12/2/2020].  Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, told reporters at a press briefing that officials have received 993,735 requests for mail-in ballots.  Counties have already received back 11,474.  The number of requests increased by tens of thousands in just a few days.  Voting machine testing will start this week for early voting for the runoffs, which officially take place on Jan. 5, 2021, but for which voting will start in 12 days.

NY-22: Inside the legal battle over StickyGate and recently discovered ballots.  We're a month out from election day and there are two undecided House races left in the country.  One of them, as I pointed out yesterday, has been certified with the GOP candidate winning by 6 votes.  The Democrat in that race has announced she will appeal directly to the U.S. House of Representatives which can choose to investigate and review the outcome and ultimately decide who will get the seat.  The other undecided race is NY-22 where final tallies from all counties show GOP candidate Claudia Tenney with a 12-vote lead over incumbent Democratic Rep. Anthony Brindisi.  However, this race is currently involved in a legal battle with both sides arguing their case before Justice Scott J. DelConte of the New York State Supreme Court.

A Hill To Die On.  Voter fraud is as old as our Republic.  But it hasn't always been widespread and well-organized. [...] Historically, the Democrat machine in Chicago perfected voter fraud.  The dead voted in large numbers.  Street people were recruited with cigarettes, lunch, and sometimes a little walking around money to go vote for the Democrat candidates.  They organized buses and rode herd on them.  Other big cities with a large labor union presence were also able to organize in a similar fashion, and naturally the Mafia had it's fingers in this pie, too.  The 1960 Presidential Election was, until now, the biggest and most outrageous example of American election fraud.  Kennedy won because of fraud in Texas, Illinois, and West Virginia.  Lyndon Johnson organized an efficient voter fraud machine in Texas to get himself elected to Congress years earlier.  He used that to bring Texas into the fold for John F. Kennedy in 1960.  The Chicago Machine was easy to engage on JFK's behalf — all it took was a few phone calls and a lot of cash.

Voting Machine USB Drives Had Totals Altered Overnight, Witness in Nevada Election Contest Alleges.  A witness brought forward by the Trump campaign in its election contest in Nevada alleged that the memory disks used to store vote totals from election machines during the early vote period had the vote tallies inexplicably changed overnight, according to a presentation at an evidentiary hearing in Carson City on Dec. 3.  According to Jesse Binnall, who presented the evidence on behalf of the Trump campaign, the witness, whose name is shielded by a protective order, said that the vote tallies were collected from the machine at the end of every voting day and stored on Universal Serial Bus (USB) drives overnight.  "What they would do is they would log these disks in and out.  Good practice.  And the disks had a serial number on them.  And numerous times that disk would be logged out with one vote total on it and logged back in the next morning during the early vote period with a different number on it.  Sometimes more, sometimes less," Binnall said.  "What that means is that literally in the dead of night, votes were appearing, and books are disappearing on these machines."

Stacey Abrams's 'New Georgia Project' seems to have some problems with voter fraud.  Stacey Abrams, who made the world's biggest stink when she narrowly lost the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election, claiming voter suppression (over the legally mandated cleaning of voter rolls) and then famously refusing to concede, apparently has some pretty peculiar ideas about who's entitled to vote. [...] Turns out when she was whining and kvetching about her Georgia gubernatorial loss, she must have thought dead people and out-of-staters also had a right to vote.  The grassroots get-out-the-vote group she founded, The New Georgia Project, a $10-million effort that appears to be funded by the Soros-backed Democracy Alliance, is under investigation for just those practices.  Atlanta magazine notes that in 2015, the group was having trouble registering legitimate voters.  So it looks as if they've decided to expand the pool.

Is the Democrats' Election Heist 'Too Big to Fail'?  Citizens from multiple geographical locations, mainly from Democrat-controlled cities, many with a lot to lose, have bravely testified of election irregularities.  The nonexclusive list of "irregularities" is mind-boggling:  naked ballots (mail-in-ballots without outer security envelopes with signature and return address); return envelopes without postmarks; ballot harvesting (soliciting wads of ballots from vulnerable populations such as the elderly, non-English-speaking, and/or disabled and then filling them in; allowing only some voters to cure ballots; arbitrary ballot acceptance or rejection; removing some poll watchers or keeping them too far away to read the ballot; covering up ballot-counting room windows; transporting ballots across state lines; tabulating ballots too early or too late; dumping thousands of ballots, containing only a presidential vote, in the middle of the night; and telling people how to vote.  Equally frustrating are the Democrats' responses to widespread cries of election fraud.  Two are exceptionally galling.  The first involves large ballot dumps, after midnight in multiple states, containing votes only for Biden.  Incredibly, the Democrats use this example as proof of election purity.

Lin Wood Is a Democrat Troll.  Attorney Lin Wood appeared at an Atlanta press conference Wednesday [12/2/2020] wearing a red MAGA hat while imploring Georgia Republicans to do the dumbest thing they could possibly do in the state's upcoming Senate election.  He told them to boycott the January 5 runoff in which incumbent GOP Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler will face far-left challengers Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock.  Wood's advice is far worse than bad counsel.  If Georgia Republicans follow Wood's advice, the Democrats will gain majority control of the U.S. Senate, establish one-party rule in Washington, and begin destroying everything President Trump has accomplished.  This is why the president himself is traveling to Georgia to hold a rally on behalf of Sens. Perdue and Loeffler.  It is why he has come out against the crazy boycott Wood has called for.

On the other hand...
Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue can only win if they listen to Lin Wood and help expose voter fraud in Georgia.  I do not want Democrats to have control of the Senate.  It would be an existential threat to the United States if they had 50 Senate seats and, God forbid, Kamala Harris was the Vice President and deciding vote.  With that said, there's a horrendous misunderstanding happening right now over attorney Lin Wood's comments yesterday. [...] First and foremost, he is 100% correct to assert that they and all Republicans across the nation should be calling on Georgia Governor Brian Kemp to hold a special session of the legislature.  Georgia is so rife with voter fraud, it's certain that an accurate count of legitimate ballots, which election officials made impossible the morning following the election, would yield a landslide victory for the President.

Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue can only win if they listen to Lin Wood and help expose voter fraud in Georgia.  The systems that brought us this fraudulent election in Georgia are still in place.  Ubiquitous absentee ballots, no safeguards for ballot dumping, a digital voting system that is profoundly suspicious, and election officials who are fighting for Democrats are still there.  Nothing has changed.

WI Supreme Court Shoots Down Expedited Review For Trump Election Lawsuit.  Donald Trump won't get immediate relief from the Wisconsin state supreme court, but technically his lawsuit over the election isn't dead either.  The court voted in a narrow 4-3 decision that the Trump v Evers lawsuit brought by the campaign should originate in a state district court rather than come directly to the top court first.  Notably, none of the concurrences or dissents discuss any factual issues presented in the complaint.

Donald Trump berates Bill Barr for saying there is no evidence of fraud which would change election.  Donald Trump excoriated Bill Barr during an Oval Office event Thursday [12/3/2020] claiming he 'hasn't done anything' to find voter fraud — and the president refused to say if he has confidence is his own attorney general.  'Ask me that in a number of weeks from now,' Trump told reporters following the Medal of Freedom Ceremony when asked if he has faith in Barr.  The president's comments came after Barr said in a Tuesday interview that the Justice Department had not found any evidence of widespread voter fraud, contrary to Trump's repeated claims that the election was 'rigged.'

Georgia GOP Chair:  Fulton Country Rescanning 12,000 Ballots Due To 'Unexplained Technical Problems'.  Georgia Republican Party Chair David Shafer said Wednesday night that Fulton County is rescanning a batch of 12,000 ballots over "unexplained technical problems."  "Fulton County Commissioner [Liz Hausmann] just alerted me that Fulton County is re-scanning a batch of 12,000 ballots due to unexplained technical problems," said Shafer.  "We have dispatched Republican monitors back to the tabulation center.  This is maddening."

Dominion Systems Removed Crashed Server in Georgia Without Disclosing New Location.  POWELL:  "And guess what happened yesterday while we were in the process of trying to get the state to respond for our request for the restraining order?  Someone went down to the Fulton Center, where the votes and Dominion machines were, claimed there was a software glitch and they had to replace the software, and it seems that they removed the server."  DOBBS:  "Unbelievable.  Unbelievable.  Do we know where the server is?"  POWELL:  "No, we don't right now."  [Video clip]

"I Couldn't Go to My Grave Knowing What I Knew" — Election Whistleblower Explains Why He Came Forward on Wisconsin Democrat Vote Fraud.  As reported on Tuesday [12/2/2020] by Cristina Laila — New election fraud whistleblowers came forward on Tuesday, including a postal subcontractor who was told that over 100,000 ballots in Wisconsin were gathered the day after election day and backdated so that they would still be counted.  The new information was made public at a press conference with multiple whistleblowers by the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society, a national constitutional litigation organization.  Postal subcontractor Nathan Pease says that he was told by two separate postal workers on two separate occasions that the USPS in Wisconsin was gathering over 100,000 ballots on the morning of November 4 to backdate the ballots so that the ballots would be counted even if they arrived after the statutory deadline.

Sidney Powell Files Suit in Wisconsin to Block State From Certifying Results.  Attorney Sidney Powell filed a lawsuit on Tuesday [12/1/2020] alleging an "egregious range of conduct" in Wisconsin at the direction of Wisconsin state election officials.  Powell is asking the court to block Gov. Tony Evers from transferring currently certified election results in Wisconsin to the Electoral College, and have Evers and the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) reverse the certification, "pending a full investigation and court hearing."  Powell is also asking the court to order an independent audit of the election "to ensure the accuracy and integrity of the election."  The suit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin against the WEC and Evers.  It alleges an "egregious range of conduct" in Milwaukee County and the City of Milwaukee, along with Dane County, La Crosse County, Waukesha County, St.  Croix County, Washington County, Bayfield County, Ozaukee County, as well as other counties throughout the Third District and throughout Wisconsin that employ election software and hardware from Dominion Voting Systems.

Trump Calls for 'Full Forensic Audit' of Mail-In Ballots.  President Donald Trump on Wednesday [12/2/2020] called for a full forensic audit of mail-in ballots that were cast in key states during the Nov. 3 presidential election.  In a lengthy pre-recorded speech, the president said that "tens of thousands [of ballots] have fraudulent signatures" in key states.  It means "a full forensic audit is required to ensure that only legal ballots from lawfully registered voters that were properly cast are included," Trump added.  "The reason for this is clear," he said, "they were not verifying signatures because they know the ballots have not been filled out by the voters in whose names they were cast."  The only way to remedy the situation, Trump said, is to carry out a full review of ballot envelopes, which contain the signatures.  He did not say what states should carry out the auditing process.

Florida Attorney Who Said He's Moving to Georgia to Vote Under Investigation.  An attorney from Florida is under investigation after he said during a speech that he's planning to temporarily move to a family member's address in Georgia to vote in the upcoming senate runoff election, while encouraging others to do the same.  Bill Price told Bay County GOP members on Nov. 7 that Republicans "absolutely have to hold the Senate" in now-deleted footage obtained by Fox News.  "If we lose the Senate on Jan. 5 in Georgia, we will become Venezuela," he told the crowd attending his speech.  "I will invite each and every one of you to be my roommate in Georgia," Price continued.  "I'm changing my voter registration right now, and I'm inviting two million people to be my roommate."

The Marxists in Arizona Officially handed over a sample 100 ballots to be examined.  Out of 100 hand picked ballots, 2% found changed away from Trump.  And that's from a fake 100 supposedly random group — meaning Trump won by a landslide.  Now imagine we tackle the fake hundreds of thousands of votes of people in Arizona who don't exist at all.  All exposed now.  There is a reason they do not want a real audit.  The coup is real.

Cruz To Alito:  Maybe You Should Consider This Injunction Request In PA.  And maybe the Supreme Court should — at least in part.  Late yesterday [12/1/2020], Rep. Mike Kelly, Sean Parnell, and other Republican plaintiffs filed an emergency injunction request with Justice Samuel Alito to stay certification of the election in Pennsylvania.  They want the Supreme Court to review the state supreme court's unanimous dismissal of their complaint against Act 77, by which they hoped to overturn the election and put the choice of electors in the hands of legislators.  It's no surprise to see the appeal to the Supreme Court, but it's a very adept appeal on the issues, if not the remedies. [...] More interesting, though, is the endorsement they picked up overnight from Senator Ted Cruz.

Officials in Georgia Issue Statements on Viral Video of Dominion Worker with USB Drive.  Two officials in Georgia have provided statements regarding a viral video that shows a contractor for Dominion Voting Systems in the state handling a USB drive while moving between computers.  The two-minute video of the incident, shared on Dec. 1, showed the election contractor moving a USB drive from a computer to a laptop.  He then stands at the laptop for a while before leaving the area with the USB stick.  During the incident, another man in a red hoodie sits nearby.  The video was first uploaded to YouTube and shared via Twitter by software and cyber security analyst Ronald Watkins, whose announcement credits Twitter user @launa_usa and suggests that the video was taken late Monday or late Sunday.  The incident occurred at Gwinnett County Election Central, he noted.  County spokesperson Joe Sorenson told The Epoch Times in an emailed statement, "To clarify, the USB drive was not inserted into a scanner, the scanners are connected to server through cables."  "This would be a Dominion tech producing a data report on the server and saving the report to a Dominion USB thumb drive and then using a laptop to filter requested information," Sorenson added.  "The Dominion servers are not equipped with Excel and counties are not authorized to install any hardware or software on these systems."

The Editor says...
It would be very difficult to justify the presence of an individual with a USB memory device, passing data from one machine to another, or for any other reason, while votes are being counted in the same room, especially if this took place between midnight and sunrise.  It looks extremely suspicious.

"This May Be the Most Important Speech I've Ever Made" — President Trump Gives Address on Fraud Allegations.  President Trump gave an address Wednesday afternoon [12/2/2020] on the election that was recorded at the White House and posted to Facebook.  In the 46 minute long video, Trump lays out his case for contesting the presidential election in key swing states.  [Video clip]

Up to 280,000 Ballots 'Disappeared' Overnight Along with Trailer, USPS Whistleblower Alleges.  Though the mainstream media has declared the 2020 election over, disturbing allegations of fraud and Election Day irregularities continue to come to light.  Phill Kline, director of Thomas More Society's Amistad Project and former Kansas attorney general, said he received evidence that somewhere between "130,000 to 280,000 completed ballots for the 2020 general election had been shipped from Bethpage, New York, before the ballots and the trailer in which they were shipped disappeared" on Oct. 21.  The former district attorney was referring to statements by Jesse Morgan, a USPS subcontractor and truck driver.  The truck driver explained he was transporting the ballots to Harrisburg.  "Usually I offload in one of the seven docks every day but not on Oct. 21.  I wasn't allowed to offload.  That's different. .. Instead, I was made to wait for roughly six hours in the yard. ... All of this was weird. ..."

Whistleblowers claiming USPS threw out, backdated ballots before election.  A conservative law firm says that several whistleblowers from the United States Postal Service have come forward, alleging that thousands of ballots in some states were backdated, tampered with, or tossed out ahead of the 2020 election, to the disservice of President Trump, despite the Justice Department announcing Tuesday it has found no proof of widespread voter fraud.  The Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society, which has forged ahead with an independent investigation of alleged voter fraud in several key battleground states that Trump lost, has claimed that the FBI asked them to turn over their findings to their Los Angeles Field Office.  The FBI told Fox News that it's their "standard practice to neither confirm nor deny the existence of investigations.  As such, we will decline further comment."

Sidney Powell Files Second Lawsuit in Michigan Alleging Massive Election Fraud.  The 75-page civil lawsuit filed on Nov. 26 by lawyer Sidney Powell in Michigan, on the heels of her similar suit in Georgia on the same day, alleges what seems to be incontrovertible evidence of cyber fraud writ large, as well as the standard "unlawful counting, or manufacturing, of hundreds of thousands of illegal, ineligible, duplicate or purely fictitious ballots in the State of Michigan."  Powell's investigation is independent from the Trump campaign.  She has created a website for her 501c4 Defending the Republic to help fund her election fraud investigation on behalf of the American people.

Statistician Reveals How Pennsylvania Democrats Used Fake Voter Registration "Birthdays" to Commit Voter Fraud.  We construct a new metric of potential voter fraud using suspicious distributions of birthdays in Pennsylvania voter registration data.  The basic idea is that people picking fake birthdays will make predictable non-random choices, like picking round numbers for days of the month, and not knowing what true birth month distributions look like.  Under this metric, a number of counties in Pennsylvania have extremely unlikely distributions of voter birthdays.  Seven counties representing almost 1.4 million votes total (Northumberland, Delaware, Montgomery, Lawrence, Dauphin, LeHigh, and Luzerne) have suspicious birthdays above the 99.5th percentile of plausible distributions, even when using conservative assumptions about what these distributions should look like.  These suspicious birthdays also matter significantly for election outcomes.  While there are suspicious counties that vote Republican overall, in general more suspicious birthdays in a county are strongly associated with a larger Biden vote share, and a higher Biden vote share relative to all Democrat presidential candidates since 2000.

Georgia: How Secretary Raffensperger Got Played.  [Scroll down]  Finally, the lawsuit settlement in March required more thorough procedures before election officials can reject a ballot because of voter signature discrepancies.  The settlement stipulates that a majority of the county officials reviewing the absentee ballots must not only agree that the signatures don't match but that they also must compare the signature with all the signatures that they have on file.  This is an absurd requirement.  According to the Secretary of State's office, there were 1,322,529 absentee ballots cast in the General Election this year in Georgia.  There were close to 1.8 million absentee ballot applications submitted this year.  The Democratic organizations that concocted this lawsuit never could have imagined how perfectly this term of the settlement would work in their favor.  According to Sidney Powell's complaint filed just before Thanksgiving against Raffensperger, Kemp, and the Georgia Board of Elections, only 0.00167% of absentee ballot application signatures were rejected.

Election Came Under 'Coordinated Assault and Siege,' Trump Says.  President Donald Trump told Americans why he has not conceded the election in an unprecedented video message late Wednesday afternoon [12/2/2020] that he said "may be the most important speech I've ever made."  "The constitutional process must be allowed to continue," Trump said in the speech recorded at the White House as his reelection campaign pursued litigation in several states and state legislatures investigated voter fraud.  "We are going to defend the honesty of the vote by ensuring every legal ballot is counted and that no illegal ballot is counted," the president said.

Nevada just got interesting! 40,000 ballots look fraudulent.  As the highly contested election continues, Nevada has become very interesting.  The Trump campaign filed a lawsuit against the state of Nevada.  This lawsuit targets 40,000 votes and cites explicit instances of voting irregularities, improprieties, and fraud.  This margin is greater than the 33,000 vote margin Joe Biden currently carries in the state. [...] "This investigation found over 13,000 voters whose voter registration information revealed no sex or date of birth.  Not only does this mean we cannot verify whether these voters are old enough to vote, but it is also historically strange:  While one does not expect voter registration information to be perfect, it is very strange that there were very, very few of these kinds of imperfect records with missing or invalid information until this year — when there are 13,372 of them," she said, according to an affidavit obtained by the Washington Examiner.

Sidney Powell gets expedited appeal in Georgia Dominion case.  A federal appeals court in Georgia will hear an expedited appeal of former Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell's request to gain a temporary restraining order forcing audits and a forensic examination of Dominion voting machines used by the state in the 2020 election.

Michigan Witness Shuts Down Unhinged Democrat After Being Accused Of Lying.  On Wednesday night [12/2/2020], Michigan witness Hima Kolanagireddy responded perfectly when an unhinged Democrat accused her of lying.  "You're allowing people to come in here and LIE!  I know they're lying!", the far-left Democrat shouted.  "Representative, you're out of order.  I've indulged you, and we're going to move on", responded the meeting chair.  Rudy Giuliani fired back:  "On behalf of my witnesses, I would like to point out that every single witness we've presented here has sworn an affidavit as to all these facts[.]"  [Video clip]

Evidence.  [A large collection of links to news articles and legal documents.]

Voter Group in Georgia Has Identified More than 50,000 Illegal Votes — Enough Votes to Move Georgia to Trump Column.  More corruption in Georgia ballots is uncovered.  The reversal of these illegal votes could put the state in the Trump column.  A group in Georgia has identified more than 40,000 votes cast in the 2020 election that were illegal: [...] The same group also found over 10,000 individuals who voted in the 2020 election who no longer live in the state, which is also illegal.

Biden is Muellered.  The premise of the Mueller probe was to find out if Donald Trump colluded with Putin to rig the election.  President Trump did not.  Hillary lost fair and square in what may be the last trustworthy presidential election.  But as this false premise of Russian Collusion was used as an excuse to spy on Obama's political opponent, the question became what did the FBI know and when did it know it?  This was a cover-up, and as we were taught in Watergate, the cover-up is worse than the crime.  And the crime is itself is pretty heavy.  So there is hope for justice this morning.  And you can see why the news media went with a fake story about Barr saying there was no election fraud.

Republican congressman says he will officially challenge election results when Congress meets to confirm Electoral College votes in January.  A Republican congressman said Wednesday that he will challenge the outcome of the presidential election when Congress votes to confirm the Electoral College next month.  Republican Representative Mo Brooks is looking for a Senate colleague to join him in launching a challenge to the Electoral College votes when Congress certifies Joe Biden's victory on January 6.  Brooks claimed the election was 'badly flawed' and claimed most instances of mail-in voting were conducted 'unconstitutionally.'

DOJ Issues Critical Update On Voter Fraud Investigations, Slams Media For False Reporting.  President Donald Trump and his legal teams have taken a number of new actions in the past week in their continued attempts to prove allegations of widespread election-related fraud in the 2020 presidential election.  On Tuesday [12/1/2020], Trump's supporters, including a number of high-profile conservatives, were understandably upset when many mainstream media networks reported that U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr and the Department of Justice had concluded their investigations into voter and ballot fraud only to turn up nothing of significance.  However, that line of reporting — as badly as the media wanted it to be true — was outright false, according to The Post Millennial.  It's true that, so far, the DOJ hasn't discovered any fraudulent activity on a scale that would actually reverse results in any of the battleground states, but that wasn't to conclude that the investigations were finished.

"I Can't Get a Job Any More Because Democrats Like to Ruin Your Life!" — GOP Witness GOES OFF at Michigan Hearing.  Over 153,000 Americans are watching the Michigan House Elections Fraud Hearings tonight [12/2/2020] on RSBNetwork.  One witness, and a Dominion-trained IT contractor, named Melissa Carone went off on the Democrats who only appeared to be harassing witnesses.  The Democrat lawmakers were not there to learn or listen.  They were there to attack and smear.

Michigan Witness:  Polling Place 'Erupted With Thunderous Applause' When GOP Poll Watchers Were Kicked Out.  Moments ago, an unaffiliated voter from Lansing, MI testified that GOP poll watchers were kicked out of the polling place where he volunteered.  In response, he says the polling place erupted with applause and derogatory cheers as police officers escorted Republicans out of the room.  "I am an unaffiliated Michigan voter who was trained by the GOP to be a poll challenger on Wednesday, November 4th beginning in the late morning until 8pm because I was told they needed help.  They were understaffed.  I witnessed the room erupt in thunderous applause and derogatory cheering as Republican poll workers were picked off one by one and ejected from the room repeatedly by police escort throughout the day. [...]"

Whistleblower: I Drove 'Thousands of Ballots' From New York to Pennsylvania.  On Tuesday, a truck driver testified that he had driven thousands of ballots from Bethpage, N.Y., to Lancaster, Pa., two weeks before Election Day.  Phill Kline, a former attorney general of Kansas and director of The Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society, said The Amistad Project had corroborated the truck driver's story.  "The evidence demonstrates, and it's through eyewitness testimony that's been corroborated by others by their eyewitness testimony, that 130,000 to 280,000 completed ballots for the 2020 general election were shipped from Bethpage, New York, to Lancaster, Pennsylvania," to a facility incapable of processing them, Kline explained in the press conference.  A spokeswoman later clarified that the estimate ranges from 144,000 to 288,000 ballots.

Arizona Witness:  Truck Loads of Ballots Kept Coming in For 10 Days After Elections Officials Thought They Were Done Counting Votes.  President Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and Trump campaign senior legal advisor Jenna Ellis appeared before Arizona state lawmakers in a public hearing on Monday [11/30/2020].  Several credible witnesses testified on the Dominion voting machines and other irregularities that point to outright Democrat voter fraud.  One witness testified that the signatures on the ballots "didn't even resemble" what they were matching to on file.

Dominion-Trained IT Contractor Blows Up Michigan Hearing, 'They Were Re-Scanning, Counting Ballots 8 to 10 Times'.  The Michigan Senate Oversight Committee on Tuesday [12/1/2020] held a hearing in Lansing on election fraud and irregularities.  A Dominion-trained IT contractor named Melissa Carone absolutely blew up the Michigan hearing on Tuesday.  Melissa Carone dropped many truth bombs, blew the whistle on Dominion workers and revealed ballots were being tabulated in the Department of Elections which is completely illegal.  Ms. Carone stunned the Michigan state lawmakers when she revealed there were tabulation machines at the Department of Elections.

Postal Subcontractor Was Told That Over 100,000 Ballots in Wisconsin Were Gathered on Nov. 4 and Backdated for Election Day.  New election fraud whistleblowers came forward on Tuesday [12/1/2020], including a postal subcontractor who was told that over 100,000 ballots in Wisconsin were gathered the day after election day and backdated so that they would still be counted.  The new information was made public at a press conference with multiple whistleblowers by the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society, a national constitutional litigation organization.

[The] DOJ [is] Not Done Investigating [the] Election.  The Department of Justice (DOJ) issued a statement on Tuesday in response to the backlash from an article by The Associated Press which quoted Attorney General William Barr saying that "to date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election."  "Some media outlets have incorrectly reported that the DOJ has concluded its investigation of election fraud and announced an affirmative finding of no fraud in the election.  That is not what the Associated Press reported nor what the Attorney General stated," a DOJ spokesperson said, according to CBS News reporter Catherine Herridge.  "The Department will continue to receive and vigorously pursue all specific and credible allegations of fraud as expeditiously as possible."

Pennsylvania: Emergency Injunction Sought From SCOTUS To Halt Any Further Certification Actions.  [Scroll down]  The problem with getting SCOTUS to take the case is that the state supreme court is the final arbiter of state law.  The petitioners try to turn that state law issue into a federal question because it concerns a federal election and arguably implicates federal rights.  I'm not familiar enough with the issue to say definitively whether that will work, but there are other reasons SCOTUS may not want to hear the case.  In the end, the Petitioners are seeking to invalidate millions of votes, and throw the issue presumably to the state legislature as to selecting electors, where there is no allegation that those mail-in voters did anything wrong.  They relied on a procedure passed by the legislature, used in prior elections, and not even challenged prior to this election.  As a practical matter, I can't see a court doing that.

If You Wanted to Rig An Election, You'd Do Exactly What Dems Did in 2020.  This column does not accuse the Biden campaign or the Democratic Party of cheating in the 2020 election.  Got it?  That said if they were going to cheat... here's what they would have done.  First, they'd make sure that the voter rolls were full of ineligible voters.  Deceased people, non-citizens, and people who have moved out of state would not be purged from the rolls, and there would be no mechanism in place to purge those ineligible voters.  Further, they wouldn't have any preemptive check to ensure that only eligible voters registered in the first place.  For instance, you can't get a job in this country without showing a passport, birth certificate, or green card for a standard I-9 form.  This ensures that only people eligible to legally work here get a job.  There is no such citizen check when you register to vote.  It's on the "honor system" that you are a legal citizen when you fill out your registration form. [...] Next, they'd modify existing election laws so that voters could mail-in ballots on a whim and not for a specific "absentee voting" reason.

4 Takeaways From the Michigan Senate's Election Fraud Hearing.  Election workers and observers presented alarming accounts of voter fraud to the Michigan state Senate on Tuesday [12/1/2020], with some calling on lawmakers to act and insisting on an audit of the vote in that state.  The Michigan state Senate Oversight Committee held the hearing, which included testimony from a former senator with expertise on data and technology.  The witness spoke to the committee under oath about voting by dead people, a truck full of ballots coming into the counting center long after the deadline, and vulnerable voting machines.  The focus was entirely on the TCF Center, the convention center in downtown Detroit formerly known as the Cobo Center, where Wayne County votes were being counted.  Senate Oversight Committee Chairman Ed McBroom, a Republican, suggested there would be future hearings to hear from additional witnesses on the 2020 election.

Data Expert:  Up To 300,000 Fake People Voted In Arizona Election, "Biggest Fraud" In History.  Bobby Piton is a managing partner of Pre-Active Investments, LLC and an investment advisor representative of Total Clarity Wealth Management.  He used Arizona's official government data to run his analysis.  After analyzing the data, he believes this is the "biggest fraud in the history of our constitutional republic is taking place right before our eyes."  He thinks there are between 120,000 and 306,000 fake people who voted in this election.  Piton presented his findings and said that he would never have certified Arizona's election results.  "I would have never ever have certified, I would rather resign than have certified those results," he said.

Trump Lawsuit:  Wisconsin Absentee Ballot Abuses Affected 220K Votes.  President Donald Trump's campaign filed a lawsuit in the Wisconsin Tuesday [12/1/2020] claiming the absentee voting process was abused in the state.  The suit seeks to disqualify more than 221,000 ballots in the state's two most Democrat-heavy counties.  The lawsuit comes after the state completed its partial recount and after Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers on Monday night formally certified Joe Biden as the state's winner, reports Fox News.  The legal team in Wisconsin, led by former Wisconsin Circuit Court Judge Jim Troupis, said the recount gave the campaign a "unique ability" to examine ballots.

Georgia secretary of state slams Fulton County, claiming it is cutting corners during recount.  Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is losing patience with the state's most populous county as the deadline for the 2020 presidential recount nears.  Raffensperger on Tuesday claimed that Fulton County has been plagued by unforced errors that could put the state's closely watched recount in jeopardy.  He added that the rest of the state was "getting a little tired of having to always wait on Fulton County and having to put up with their dysfunction."  Fulton County, which includes Atlanta, reported problems over the weekend when one of the newly purchased Dominion Voting Systems servers crashed at the Georgia World Congress Center.

Missouri Lawmaker Discovers Dominion Failed to Pay Missouri Taxes and Is Not Allowed to Operate in the State — But They Are Still Running Elections Here.  Missouri state lawmaker Justin Hill (R-Lake St.  Louis) released a bombshell report on Dominion Voting Systems on Tuesday [12/1/2020].  According to Hill Dominion were dissolved last year for failure to pay income taxes while operating in the state of Missouri.  Representative Hill concluded that Dominion has been operating illegally in the state.  Rep. Justin Hill told The Gateway Pundit that Dominion currently has about 20% of the electorate in the state of Missouri.  Hill also found out that Dominion was dissolved in the State of Missouri.  According to Missouri state law they are not allowed to operate their business in the Show Me state except for winding down their activities.

Michigan Poll Watcher Says He Witnessed Shady 4 AM Ballot Dump For Joe Biden, 'Dollies Full of Ballots Wheeled In'.  The Michigan Senate Oversight Committee on Tuesday [12/1/2020] held a hearing in Lansing on election fraud and irregularities.  A poll watcher came forward on Tuesday and said he witnessed the shady 4 AM Biden ballot dump in Michigan after Election Day.  President Trump was ahead of Joe Biden in Michigan on election night when all of a sudden they stopped counting votes.  At around 4:30 AM AFTER Election Day, a massive ballot dump of more than 130,000 votes appeared for Joe Biden in Michigan.

Trump Attorney Phil Kline:  Two Trailers Full of Completed Ballots Were Delivered to Pennsylvania from NY — One on November 4th!  Attorney Phillip Kline with the Amistad Project joined Lou Dobbs on Tuesday [12/1/2020] following the explosive hearing this afternoon in Arlington, Virginia.  Kline earlier at his press conference introduced two different USPS contract truck drivers who went public after they found it "unusual" and were concerned when they realized that had transferred completed ballots and fraudulent ballots to stops in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.  On Tuesday night Kline described one load that was delivered to Pennsylvania in October and a second load of completed ballots that were delivered to Pennsylvania on November 4th to Delaware County.

Georgia Elections Officials Were Reportedly Filmed Destroying Evidence.  Ron at CodeMonkey just came out with an amazing tweet a few minutes ago [12/1/2020].  Apparently Ron was with a group of people who filmed Georgia officials destroying evidence.  The Georgia officials never had a clue because they didn't know the group was there, in part because Twitter had censored their hashtag 'Dominion Watch'.

Democrat Operatives in Michigan and Georgia Tampered with Military Ballots — Filled Out New Ones 100% Marked For Joe Biden.  The Michigan Senate Oversight Committee on Tuesday held a hearing in Lansing on election fraud and irregularities.  President Trump was ahead of Joe Biden in Michigan on election night when all of a sudden they stopped counting votes.  At around 4:30 AM AFTER Election Day, a massive ballot dump of more than 130,000 votes appeared for Joe Biden in Michigan.

IT Contractor Who Worked With Dominion on Election Day in Detroit: 'What I Witnessed at the TCF Center Was Complete Fraud'.  A freelance IT worker who was contracted to assist Dominion Voting Systems at the TCF Center in downtown Detroit on Election Day testified Tuesday [12/1/2020] that everything she witnessed there pointed to fraud.  The Michigan Senate Oversight Committee held a hearing to discuss the problematic vote-counting operations in Detroit.  The Trump campaign did not participate in the hearing.  Mellissa Carone said she worked with Dominion vice president and co-owner Nick Ikonomakis, as well as a Dominion staffer named "Samuel."  Her affidavit is [available elsew]here.  Carone testified that she worked at the TCF Center from 6:15 a.m. on November 3 to 4:00 a.m. on November 4, 2020.  She went home to get a few hours sleep and worked again at the TCF Center from 10:00 a.m. until 1:45 p.m. on November 4.  Carone stated that she was initially scheduled to work at the Department of Elections, which was not a vote-counting center, even though she was trained to work with the election equipment and tabulators.  The IT worker said she backed out when she was told she would have to park a long distance away and be bused in.  "There was something going on at that Department of Elections, and it's clearly something that's very illegal that occurred there.  I am grateful to God that I did not go there," she said.

Trump Ballots Defaulted and Switched to Biden Votes on Dominion System:  Maricopa GOP Chairwoman.  Maricopa County GOP chairwoman Linda Brickman on Nov. 30 testified before members of the Arizona State Legislature that she personally observed votes for President Donald Trump being tallied as votes for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden when input into Dominion machines.  Brickman, the GOP head of one of the country's largest counties and a veteran county elections worker, submitted her testimony in a sworn affidavit under penalty of perjury.  She testified that she and her Democratic partner witnessed "more than once" Trump votes default and shift to Biden when they were entering votes into Dominion machines from ballots that couldn't be read by machines.  She alleged that she was later threatened by election supervisors at the Maricopa County Tabulation and Election Center (MCTEC) for speaking out about what she had witnessed.

Attorney General Bill Barr Wins Helen Keller Award.  Congrats to Bill Barr.  He is the runaway winner for revealing himself as totally Deaf, Dumb and Blind.  Hell, even Helen Keller could see the widespread fraud that infects this entire Presidential election, but not Billy Barr.  After two years of talking a good game, Barr's masquerade as someone opposed to the criminality of the Deep State is exposed as a venal lie.  He himself is a fraud.  He is no better than Jim Comey or Eric Holder.  In fact, he is worse.  Barr pretended to uphold the principles of justice for all and a commitment to the founding tenets of this Republic.  Barr's comment to the AP — i.e., that the DOJ has not uncovered any evidence of widespread fraud that would change the outcome of the 2020 election — is being widely and wildly celebrated by the thieves responsible for stealing the 2020 Presidential election.

Witnesses tell Michigan Senate panel of widespread voter fraud in Detroit.  Republican poll monitors in Michigan on Tuesday [12/1/2020] bolstered President Trump's claims of widespread election fraud, telling a state Senate committee that they witnessed mysterious truckloads of absentee ballots delivered to a counting center in Detroit and Democratic workers scanning the same ballots multiple times in tabulation machines.  Also on Tuesday, several election whistleblowers, including a contract driver for the U.S. Postal Service, said at a press conference near Washington that hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots disappeared or were backdated and that pro-Trump mail was undelivered in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan.  But even as the witnesses told riveting tales of an election rigged for Democrats, Attorney General William P. Barr was undercutting the president's case.  Mr. Barr said the Justice Department hasn't seen evidence of widespread voter fraud that would overturn the presidential election victory of Joseph R. Biden.

Witnesses Give Damning Testimony at Michigan Hearing About Funny Business with Military Ballots, All for Biden.  Some of the testimony has been striking and it's certainly had an affect [sic] on the people who've heard the hearings and on the legislators involved.  We reported how Republicans in both Arizona and Pennsylvania have made moves to try to do something about pulling back the electors, after the testimony.  Today [there] was a hearing by the Michigan Senate Oversight Committee in Lansing.  They had testimony today from some of the poll watchers and observers of the count at the TCF Center in Michigan.  But there was one witness whose testimony was particularly striking because of seeing military ballots that looked all the same like they were "xeroxed," all for Joe Biden.  Not only that, it got worse, she said, because they were all non-registered voters.

Ted Cruz Releases Statement on Pennsylvania Election Challenge.  Ted Cruz spoke out today about the Pennsylvania election case currently being pushed by the Trump campaign.  That case was dismissed by the liberal Pennsylvania Supreme Court and an appeal is now needed.  While Cruz has previously been bearish on Trump's legal challenges, now he's urging the Supreme Court to grant the emergency appeal. [...] As to the actual challenge, I wonder how viable it is if it makes it to the Supreme Court.  I suppose that's why you get it there and take your shot.  Cruz appears to believe there's some merit here and he's obviously a man of great legal experience.

Has the Penn Supreme Court Invited Scrutiny and Rebuke By Relying on "Laches" to Dismiss an Incovenient Complaint?  Late in the day on Saturday [11/28/2020] the Pennsylvania Supreme Court dismissed with prejudice the complaint filed by GOP Congressman Mike Kelly, failed GOP candidate Sean Parnell, and others, claiming that the "no excuse" mail-in ballot option created by the Pennsylvania legislature in 2019 violated Section 14 of Pennsylvania Constitution.  That Section limits "absentee" voting to four narrow categories of "absent electors".  The complaint alleged that because Section 14 is itself a constitutional limit on exceptions to in-person voting, the no-excuse mail-in voting statute worked as a de facto amendment to the Pennsylvania Constitution without going through the required process for amending the Constitution.  Without addressing the merits of the complaint in any fashion, the Court ordered the case dismissed on the equitable grounds of "laches", finding that the "facial" challenge to the constitutionality of Act 77, the law which created no-excuse mail-in balloting, was a matter the plaintiffs could have brought the time the Act was passed.

Pennsylvania Lawmakers See 'Constitutional Crisis' Over Election Certification.  Republicans in the Pennsylvania Legislature are looking at every legal avenue that would reclaim their authority over election procedures and dispute the 2020 election results until claims of widespread fraud have been resolved.  "We're in extraordinary times, and we're doing an extraordinary amount of research to see what the possibilities are," state Rep. Russ Diamond, a Republican, told The Epoch Times on Dec. 1.  "My preferred outcome is simply to make sure that Pennsylvanians know that every legal vote was accurately counted, and that the results reflect that.  That's the only thing I care about."  The House and Senate both have issued resolutions that accuse the executive and judicial branches in Pennsylvania of usurping the legislature's constitutional power to set the rules of the election.

Is Bill Barr a bad guy or helpfully spreading disinformation?  When Trump installed Bill Barr as his Attorney General, most conservatives thought this was a good thing.  Barr was seen as a straight shooter who had come out of retirement to help clean up the justice department that Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch had corrupted and that Jeff Sessions had been helpless to repair.  However, in his two years in office, he's accomplished some excellent things but much less than conservatives had hoped he would.  Things went haywire today, though, when Barr said that the DOJ has "not seen fraud on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election."  What!?  Barr made that statement during an interview with AP, which is resolutely anti-Trump.  Indeed, although the article purports to be an interview with Barr, most of it is another mean-girl style AP article that attacks Trump and his supporters.  In the whole article, there's only one other quotation from Barr that comes from the current interview (as opposed to recycled quotations from prior interviews):  "There's been one assertion that would be systemic fraud and that would be the claim that machines were programmed essentially to skew the election results.  And the DHS and DOJ have looked into that, and so far, we haven't seen anything to substantiate that."

Attorney Lin Wood:  Trump Will Be Inaugurated Based on Voter Fraud in Dominion Voting Machines.  Attorney Lin Wood stated that the investigations into election fraud would clear the path for President Donald Trump to be inaugurated come January.  In an interview with The John Fredericks Show, Wood shared details of his Sunday night court victory.  Initially, the court impounded all Dominion machines throughout Georgia.  The court has since changed its order to reflect that only three counties would have their machines impounded.  "Dominion originated in Venezuela.  It's a Canadian company.  It's servers were used in Barcelona and in Frankfurt.  There's no question that there will be overwhelming evidence that foreign countries, including China were involved in interfering with our elections."  Wood stated that President Donald Trump knows what he is doing in these legal battles against the current election results.  He claimed that Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, and members of the media were involved in conspiring to interfere with the election results.

Georgia Judge Finally Orders Dominion Machine "Freeze" After "Atlanta Already Did It".  Last night, a judge in Georgia was apparently confused about duty, and his vacillation resulted in Atlanta wiping the Dominion servers that were instrumental in performing the illegal election rig for Joe Biden.  The story is bizarre.  First, the judge ruled that the machines must not be reset, because they are evidence in the fraud cases in the state.  Hours later, he changed the ruling, claiming that the state owned the machines and had the authority to do it.  Then hours later, he changed his mind again, and ordered the freeze.  By that time, it was too late for Fulton County, the location of Atlanta, which provided the supposed 10K+ votes to push Biden ahead.

Mathematician Says Biden May have Received 130 Percent of the Democrat Vote in Maricopa County, AZ.  A scientist in the fields of pattern recognition in mathematical analysis, testified Monday that Biden may have received a weighted 130 percent of Democrat votes in Maricopa County, Arizona, to help him win the state.  Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai is an Indian-American scientist, engineer, politician, and entrepreneur who holds four degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, including a Ph.D. in biological engineering.  Ayyadurai presented his findings via video to select members of Arizona's legislature during a public hearing at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Phoenix.  The event was put on by members of President Donald Trump's legal team to gather and examine evidence of 2020 election irregularities and fraud in the state.

The Badger State's Ballot 'Fix' Was In.  Nearly 7 million absentee votes were cast, mostly for Joe Biden, in the three states responsible for his presumptive win; a mere 250,000 votes now separate Biden from Donald Trump in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.  Trump's victory in that once solid "blue wall" in 2016 — Wisconsin last elected a Republican president in 1984 — shocked the nation and elevated him to the presidency.  The pivotal Rust Belt states have something else in common: according to state election laws, mail-in ballots cannot be processed prior to 7 a.m. on Election Day.  (Michigan has a slight caveat for larger cities, which allows ballot inspection to begin the day before.)  As I wrote last week, it's clear that Pennsylvania election officials violated the law by alerting voters to correct mistakes on or "cure" their mail-in ballots days before Election Day.  This means not only were election workers inspecting mail-in envelopes in advance of the legal deadline, the unlawful pre-canvassing occurred without observers present, another obvious violation.

New Trump Lawsuit Claims Wisconsin Counted 221K Illegal Votes, Eleven Times Biden's Margin.  On Tuesday, President Donald Trump and his campaign filed an explosive lawsuit claiming that Wisconsin officials included 221,323 illegal votes in the presidential election recount and asking the Wisconsin Supreme Court to order Gov. Tony Evers (D-Wisc.) to rescind certification of the state's election results until any illegal votes can be excluded from the count.  "The people of Wisconsin deserve election processes with uniform enforcement of the law, plain and simple.  During the recount in Dane and Milwaukee counties, we know with absolute certainty illegal ballots have unduly influenced the state's election results," Jim Troupis, a Trump campaign lawyer, said in a statement.  "Wisconsin cannot allow the over three million legal ballots to be eroded by even a single illegal ballot."

White House Slams AG Barr's Claims Of No Election Fraud:  "There's Been No Semblance Of A DoJ Investigation".  The President's lawyer Rudy Giuliani has issued a statement:  "With all due respect to the Attorney General, there hasn't been any semblance of a Department of Justice investigation.  We have gathered ample evidence of illegal voting in at least six states, which they have not examined.  We have many witnesses swearing under oath they saw crimes being committed in connection with voter fraud.  As far as we know, not a single one has been interviewed by the DOJ.  The Justice Department also hasn't audited any voting machines or used their subpoena powers to determine the truth.

Georgia election official calls out Republican silence as threats of violence against government employees rise.  Gabriel Sterling has had enough.  The Voting Implementation Manager for Georgia, Sterling opened a press briefing today with a two-minute entreaty to outgoing president Donald Trump and Republican Senators to tone down their rhetoric and condemn the violence and threats being made toward election workers, Politico reports.  "Mr. President, you have not condemned these actions or this language," he said.  "Senators, you have not condemned this language or these actions.  This has to stop.  We need you to step up.  And if you're going to take a position of leadership, show some."

Whistleblowers: Postal Service labeled Trump mail 'Undeliverable,' 388,000 ballots backdated, 'disappear'.  Several whistleblowers on Tuesday [12/1/2020] cast new uncertainty on the 2020 election process, claiming up to 288,000 ballots disappeared, another 100,000 were improperly backdated, and mail promoting President Trump was junked while mail for Joe Biden was delivered.  In the most extraordinary report, a U.S. Postal Service contractor said his trailer full of 144,000 [to] 288,000 completed mail-in ballots, which he drove between New York and Pennsylvania, disappeared after he delivered it to a Lancaster, Pennsylvania, depot.  Another claimed that ballots were backdated by postal workers, and in Traverse City, Michigan, Trump campaign mail was put in bins labeled "Undeliverable Bulk Business Mail" while the same type of mail for Joe Biden was ordered to be delivered on time.  And a third raised new issues about the integrity of Dominion voting machines.

Voter Registration Group Affiliated with Raphael Warnock Under Investigation for Alleged Fraud.  The New Georgia Project, a voter registration group formerly headed by Georgia Senate candidate Raphael Warnock, is under investigation for alleged fraud, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said on Monday, per The New York Post.  The group is thought to have sent mail-in ballots to non-residents.  The group was founded by failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, but Warnock served as the CEO until February; the group categorizes itself as a "nonpartisan effort to register and civically engage Georgian."  Raffensperger said that the New Georgia Project is one of three interest groups under investigation for suspicions of election impropriety.  Warnock's group is thought to have solicited mail-in ballots to New York voters.  "Voting in Georgia when you are not a resident of Georgia is a felony," Raffensperger said.  "These third-party groups have a responsibility to not encourage illegal voting.  If they do so, they will be held responsible."

AG Barr Reveals What the Justice Department Found During Investigation of Voter Fraud.  Attorney General Bill Barr revealed on Tuesday [12/1/2020] that the Department of Justice found no evidence of "widespread fraud" concerning the 2020 general election.  AG Barr said that the department's investigation has not found fraud "on a scale that could have affected a different outcome in the election." [...] The Trump campaign continues to contest election results in swing states, even though most have certified results, including Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, and Georgia.  Officials representing the president insist that multiple cases of fraud occurred.

Arizona Governor Explains Why He Certified Election Results.  Republican Governor Doug Ducey officially certified Arizona's election results on Monday [11/30/2020], prompting backlash from Trump supporters and the President himself. [...] During the certification, Trump campaign attorneys were holding an emergency election integrity hearing in downtown Phoenix.  During the hearing, witnesses detailed a series of irregular voting issues and potential fraud.  But according to Ducey, he was simply following Arizona election law — which required him to certify results after all counties in the state certified their own votes.

"High Degree Of Confidence": Deep-Dive Data Analyst Says More Illegal Votes In AZ Than Biden Margin Of Victory.  Pro-Trump statistician Matt Braynard — whom the FBI just asked to share his findings concerning his data-driven investigation into illegal and fraudulent voting in the November election — says he's confident that there were more illegally-cast ballots in Arizona than Joe Biden's current margin of victory.  "I have a high degree of confidence that the number of ballots that were cast that should not have been cast, illegal ballots, surpasses the margin of victory as it stands right now," said Braynard said at a public hearing on election issues in Arizona.

Lawmaker in 2nd state announces Electoral College vote clawback.  An Arizona is calling on colleagues to withhold the state's Electoral College votes due to allegations of fraud.  Arizona state Rep. Mark Finchem said at hearing on vote fraud Monday he believes there is enough evidence of fraud to invalidate the state's vote for president, the National File reported.  "We are clawing our Electoral College votes back, we will not release them," Finchem said.  "That's what I'm calling our colleagues in both the House and the Senate to do.  Exercise our plenary authority under the U.S. Constitution."

Hundreds of investigations [have been] launched into possible Georgia vote fraud.  There's a long way to go to resolve all the concerns over vote fraud in the 2020 presidential election.  But now Georgia is trying to head off some of those concerns ahead its Jan. 5 runoff elections for both of its U.S. Senate seats.  Incumbent GOP Sen. David Perdue took 49.75% of the vote, leading Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff by about 90,000 votes.

6 reasons I'm not giving up on Trump.  [#1] Trump won a landslide of votes legally cast by the end of "Election Day."  Then came the as-yet-undetermined number of mail-in votes that were not authorized by state legislatures were arguably postmarked after Election Day and may not have been signed by certified voters. [...] [#5] Trump may be the only president able to do this because of his enormous energy and love for the country.  "I'm going to use 125 percent of my energy to do it.  You need a judge that's willing to hear a case.  You need a Supreme Court that's willing to make a real big decision based on everything."  He added, "It's not like you're going to change my mind.  In other words, my mind will not change in six months.  There was tremendous cheating here.  Boxes were brought in.  The mail-in vote is a disaster."

Georgia ordered to file brief in voting machine rigging lawsuit.  Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and the state's elections chief were ordered in a late-night Sunday ruling to explain why they were opposed to the Trump campaign's request to inspect voting machines the president has claimed "switched" votes in favor of Joe Biden.  Kemp and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, both Republicans, were given until Wednesday to file a response to inspection demands by former Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell.

New analysis shows Biden winning nearly impossible margins on mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania.  There has been a lot of focus on the number of mail-in ballots counted in Pennsylvania and the illegal state Supreme Court decisions that enabled them.  But what is even more important to examine is the impossible margins Joe Biden would have achieved just among those mail-in ballots and just in Pennsylvania in order to obtain the unofficial lead he currently has.  Here are the facts.  We know that 2.6 million mail-in ballots have been counted in the Pennsylvania election returns, in addition to nearly 4.2 million Election Day votes.  We also know from the secretary of state that Trump won Election Day votes, 2.7 million to 1.4 million.  But we are to believe that Biden won 76% of mail-in ballots.  Yes, mail-ins overwhelmingly skewed Democrat, like Election Day votes skewed Republican, but they were not all from Democrats.  We know that 64.7% of those votes were from registered Democrats, 23.7% from Republicans, and 11.6% from nonpartisan or other party voters.

Judge freezes voting machines in 3 Georgia counties.  A judge assigned to a Republican-led lawsuit alleging widespread fraud in the presidential election in Georgia issued an order late Sunday night blocking plans to wipe or reset voting machines used in three counties in the state.  U.S. District Judge Timothy Batten Sr. revealed in his four-page directive that he held a hearing via Zoom Sunday evening on the suit — one of two cases filed in federal courts last week by Sidney Powell, an outspoken Texas attorney who joined President Donald Trump's legal team earlier this month only to be dismissed from it a few days later.

Not Only Aren't Republicans Reversing the 2020 Disaster, It's Already Being Repeated.  If you like your ballot harvesting fraud, you can keep your ballot harvesting fraud. [...] Republicans are right to fight for the Senate majority, but that doesn't just mean blowing millions on consultants and TV ad buys.  The bottom line is that the 2020 disaster happened because Democrats fundamentally altered the way in which elections were conducted to enable massive election fraud.  This is the core issue that some of the drama of the past two weeks and the stuff going around on social media has diverted our attention from.  Democrats went into the 2020 election with a plan and an organized campaign, Republicans didn't and still don't.  The Democrats know what they need, minimal oversight of a political machine that mass collects and delivers its ballots.

Nevada Republican Elector Suing for the State to Be Certified for Trump Explains Why They Should Win Lawsuit.  The Trump campaign has filed a lawsuit against Democrat electors in Nevada on behalf of the Republican electors in the state.  The lawsuit points to "substantial irregularities, improprieties and fraud," among other issues, causing 40,000 Nevada votes to be tainted.  The Gateway Pundit spoke to Jesse Law, one of the Trump Electors represented by Jesse Binnall in the trial that is set to begin on Thursday [12/3/2020].  One of the issues sited in the lawsuit is improper campaigns in the Native American community, which appear to be bribes, in exchange for votes and registering to vote.

Trump sues to try to reverse Wisconsin's election results.  President Donald Trump sued Wisconsin officials Tuesday in a last-ditch effort to reclaim a state he lost by about 20,700 votes.  The Republican president filed his suit against Democratic Gov. Tony Evers a day after the governor and the head of the state Elections Commission certified Joe Biden had won the state's 10 Electoral College votes.  Trump has made little headway with lawsuits in other states and he faces an extraordinarily difficult path in Wisconsin.

Rand Paul points to 4 wild 'data dumps' that put Biden ahead: 'Fraud?'  [Scroll down]  ["]Of the seven vote updates which follow the pattern the least, four individual vote updates — two in Michigan, one in Wisconsin, and one in Georgia — were particularly anomalous and influential with respect to this property and all occurred within the same five hour window."  The batch updates that raise concerns include, the report said:
  •   An update in Michigan at 6:31 a.m. Eastern on Nov. 4 showed 141,258 votes for Biden and 5,968 votes for Trump
  •   An update in Wisconsin at 3:42 a.m. Central showed 143,379 votes for Joe Biden and 25,163 votes for Trump
  •   A vote update in Georgia at 1:34 a.m. Eastern showed 136,155 votes for Biden and 29,115 votes for Trump
  •   An update in Michigan at 3:50 a.m. Eastern showed 54,497 votes for Biden and 4,718 votes for Trump
Essentially the "anomalies" are "more than the margin of victory in all three states — Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia — which collectively represent forty-two electoral votes," the report said.  In other words, without the vote dumps, Trump would be on his way today to a second term.  The report suggests the vote dumps were "especially anomalous and merit further investigation."

The Editor says...
Lots of things "merit further investigation."  For example, the contents of Hunter Biden's laptop, or any of these things:  [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15]   None of it will ever be investigated if it threatens or embarrasses the Deep State, the RINOs, or the Abortion Party.

Election Fraud Update For December 1, 2020.  Lots of hearings, lots of lawsuits, lots of evidence of fraud, and no indication yet that anything is getting overturned.

The election has been stolen.  Today [11/30/2020] the Republican leaders of the Pennsylvania state legislative rejected a resolution by 26 members of their caucus to open an investigation into the questions of election fraud in their state, claiming that they simply do not have time to address their resolution based on the state's laws.  ["]Speaker of the House Bryan Cutler, R-Lancaster County, and Majority Leader Kerry Benninghoff, R-Centre County, said in a statement issued as the caucus broke that they agreed the state's elections processes and procedures need a top-to-bottom review for consistency and fairness, but they said there is no time to take legislative action on this year's results and they will not be calling the House back into session. [...] ["] The Republican leaders made it clear they will address the election irregularities in their next session.  Whoopie!  By then it will be too late.  I expect the same thing to now happen in Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Michigan.  Republican-controlled statehouses are going to acquiesce to these results, despite amply evidence that demands a thorough review.

Michigan Illegally Counted or Ignored 500K Ballots, Lawsuit Claims.  In the wee hours of Thanksgiving Day, the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society filed an explosive election lawsuit asking Michigan's Supreme Court to prevent Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson from certifying the election results until the Michigan legislature can fully investigate fraud claims and to force election officials to hand over all election materials to the legislature for this purpose.  The lawsuit claims that officials illegally counted or threw out no fewer than 508,016 ballots, far more than Joe Biden's 154,000-vote margin over Donald Trump.  "State and local officials brazenly violated election laws in order to advance a partisan political agenda," Phil Kline, director of The Amistad Project, said in a statement.  "The pattern of lawlessness was so pervasive and widespread that it deprived the people of Michigan of a free and fair election, throwing the integrity of the entire process into question."

Dominion Representative In Gwinnett County Takes Election Data From USB And Manipulates Data.  Watch a Dominion Representative at Gwinnett County Election Central, responsible for tabulating ballots and certifying results, download data to a USB from the Election Management Server, plug it into a laptop, manipulate the data, then palm the USB.  The moment the rep takes the data from a secured server and transfers to his personal laptop it breaks election protocols and chain of custody.  [Video clip]

About those 'spike anomalies' in Pennsylvania.  Paul Kengor's recent article about the presidential election results got me thinking about what it would take to convince a friend of mine — or a Pennsylvania legislator or judge — that there really was something fishy going on in this election.  Kengor's piece focuses on an exchange between Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani and Ret.  Col. Phil Waldren at last week's Senate Majority Policy Committee hearings in Pennsylvania, in which Giuliani established that if you add up the total number of votes for Biden and Trump in a series of what Waldren described as Biden "spike anomalies," you get around 570,000 votes for Biden and only around 3,200 for Trump.  What Walden means by a "spike anomaly" is a bunch of votes that are dumped into the election results faster than they could have been processed by the voting machines, using the maximum possible speed as provided by the manufacturer of the machines.

How spineless and traitorous are most of the GOP?  By now it is abundantly clear to any American paying attention that the Biden campaign/Democrat machine set out to guarantee that Donald Trump would not, could not, win the 2020 election.  They cheated seven ways to Sunday!  They committed epic fraud.  Fake ballots, dead people voting — thousands of them, hundreds of thousands of absentee and mail-in ballots were counted in the names of people who did not request them or submit them.  Hundreds of thousands of magically appearing fake ballots were counted in PA, MI, and WI.  Perhaps GA and NV as well.  The truth has been revealed.  Will it matter?

Poll watcher witness says feds showed up at door, made her feel like a criminal after fraud testimony.  Amid all the inquiries into where Attorney General Bill Barr has been in the face of voter fraud allegations, there has been a sighting of federal agents — the question is, what were they investigating?  Leah Hoopes, a Republican poll watcher on Election Day in the state of Pennsylvania, dropped what's being reported as a "bombshell," which is that special agents from the Justice Department paid her a visit at home after she testified before the Senate last week.  Hoopes testified that massive voter fraud may have taken place in Delaware County, Pa., and she appeared on Steve Bannon's podcast "War Room:  Pandemic" on Monday to talk about "special agents from the Attorney General's office showing up at my front door just for speaking the truth."

Rigged Election:  Biden Won 477 Counties vs Obama Who Won 689 in 2012 — Yet Biden Magically Gained 13 Million More Votes Than Obama.  Joe Biden is the worst presidential candidate the Democrats ever nominated.  Biden couldn't get anyone to attend his boring and awkward drive-in rallies so his campaign used Covid as a cover.  78-year-old Joe Biden can't even form a coherent sentence.  Hardly anyone listens to his speeches and in reality, hardly anyone actually voted for him.  The Democrats knew that Joe Biden had no charisma and virtually no support so they relied on their massive vote fraud organization (Joe Biden's own words) in order to drag the demented fool across the finish line.  Joe Biden underperformed Barack Obama's 2012 numbers everywhere except for the cities in the states he is trying to steal.  Biden lost 212 more counties than Barack Obama did in 2012 (Biden won 477 counties vs Obama who won 689), yet Biden magically gained 13 million more votes than Obama?

AZ GOP Chair Kelli Ward: 'Farce' for 'Radical Leftist' Secretary of State to Certify Election Results and 'Ignore the Possibilities of Fraud'.  Dr. Kelli Ward, chairwoman of the Republican Party of Arizona, believes it is a "farce" for Arizona's "radical leftist" Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D) to certify Arizona's election results while ignoring the possibilities of fraud and irregularities in the election.  The Arizona GOP chairwoman provided a rundown of the election-related events going on in Arizona early Monday morning, including the "hearing on election integrity," which will take place at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Phoenix.  The meeting will feature Arizona legislators as well as Trump campaign attorneys Jenna Ellis and Rudy Giuliani.

Examining the Evidence for Democrats' 'No Evidence of Voter Fraud' Claim.  On November 14, the U.S. edition of The Guardian ran an article by Harvard Law professor Laurence H. Tribe headlined "Republicans are playing with fire.  And we all risk getting burned."  Tribe claimed that there is "no evidence" so far of systemic fraud in the 2020 presidential election. [...] But this article isn't about rhetoric; it's about evidence, and there is "no evidence" that the vote counts in the 2020 presidential election are correct.  But then no one can produce evidence to demonstrate what the legitimate vote counts were in any presidential election, at least within any reasonable time constraints.  The changes to our voting systems in the 2020 elections were expressly designed so that there cannot be any evidence.  Professor Tribe should tell us what the evidence would consist of that would allow us to know what the correct vote counts are.  Larry Tribe may like to oraculate from on high as though he were some objective, disinterested analyst calling balls and strikes, but he's actually a highly partisan left-wing Democrat.

Giuliani Warns Against Legislatures Certifying 'False Election'.  Legislatures in states that saw fraud this month should be careful not to certify a "false election," President Donald Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani said Sunday [11/29/2020].  Citing witnesses who have attested to seeing Republican poll observers blocked from properly watching ballots be counted in cities like Philadelphia and Detroit, Giuliani asserted ballots were counted for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden multiple times but for Trump just once.  "You in essence have two different elections.  One for Biden, where he can get four times the vote, and one for Trump, where he's limited to the actual vote that he got.  Seems to me the state legislature can't live with that.  They'd be certifying a false election," Giuliani said on WABC 770 AM.  Trump's campaign has gathered approximately 250 affidavits in Pennsylvania and 200 in Michigan relating to election irregularities but has struggled to win over judges, who have repeatedly ruled against them.  Some lower court judges have sided with the campaign but are usually overruled by the state Supreme Courts, and the U.S. Supreme Court has yet to take up election-related legal battles.

Pennsylvania Lawmakers Formally Introduce Resolution to Dispute 2020 Elections Results.  Republican state lawmakers in Pennsylvania on Nov. 30 introduced a resolution to dispute the results of the 2020 election.  The text of the resolution, first previewed in a memo on Nov. 27, states that the executive and judicial branches of the Keystone State's government usurped the legislature's constitutional power to set the rules of the election.  "Officials in the Executive and Judicial Branches of the Commonwealth infringed upon the General Assembly's authority under the Constitution of the United States by unlawfully changing the rules governing the November 3, 2020, election in the Commonwealth," the resolution states.  The resolution calls on the secretary of the Commonwealth to withdraw the "premature certification" of the presidential election and delay certifying other races.  It declares the 2020 election to be in dispute, and urges the U.S. Congress "to declare the selection of presidential electors in this Commonwealth to be in dispute."

Georgia's Fulton County Recount Delayed After Dominion Server Crash.  The recount requested by President Trump's campaign in Georgia's Fulton County experienced a delay after a Dominion Voting Systems mobile server crashed on Sunday, according to Fulton County officials.  "Technicians from Dominion have been dispatched to resolve the issue," Fulton County officials said in a statement after the server crashed on Sunday.  "The Georgia Secretary of State's office has also been alerted to the issue and is aware of efforts to resolve the problem."  Dominion has remained at the center of claims of error and fraud in the 2020 election.  While Sidney Powell is not formally part of President Trump's legal team, she participated in a joint press conference with his campaign prior to Thanksgiving and detailed the purported issues with the voting machines.

Election Fraud Expert Russ Ramsland Files Affidavit Showing 'Physical Impossibility' of Election Results in Michigan.  [Apparently from a thread reader]  "My colleagues and I... have studied... the November 3, 2020, election results.  Based on the significant anomalies and red flags that we have observed, we believe there is a significant probability that election results have been manipulated...  "There are a stunning 3,276 precincts where the Presidential Votes Cast compared to the Estimated Voters based on Reported Statistics ranges from 84% to 350%... reveals 431,954 excess ballots.  This pattern strongly suggests that the *additive algorithm* was activated."  "Until the tabulated voter turnout reached approximately 83%, Trump was generally winning between 55% and 60% of every turnout point.  Then, after the counting was closed at 2:00 am, the situation dramatically reserved itself, starting with a series of impossible spikes."

Sidney Powell:  Witness in Hospital After Beating.  Attorney Sidney Powell said on the Sean Hannity show on Fox News Monday night that a witness to election irregularities was beaten up and is in the hospital.  Powell spoke about the attack while speaking about witnesses needing protection as a reason some are not going public and signing affidavits.  Powell said some are in the government, others are in roles that require confidentiality, and that they need protection by the government.

Blueprint to an uncontested election.  Our country has lost confidence in the election process.  It's clear that our system needs an overhaul, and it's not too soon to start thinking about ways to prevent 2020's disastrous outcome.  The following proposal, which optimizes transparency, would restore voter confidence in our election process.  Designers working on data-processing systems for satellites where physical repairs are difficult use triple-modular redundancy, which triples the hardware units processing each piece of data.  "Voter" hardware would look at each result and accept a result only if it achieved two or more matches.  Accounting's double-entry system is based on a similar concept:  reach a conclusion via two separate ways, and verify that they match.  For elections, both major parties would provide ballot-tabulating machines.  They would send the results to the national parties and governing authorities for macro-tabulation and public viewing.  If they matched, that would be the correct result.  Should they not match, the precinct would physically recount ballots, with both parties witnessing the procedure.

Judge Schedules Hearing in High-Profile Georgia Election Case.  The judge who ordered Georgia officials on Sunday not to wipe or reset voting machines has scheduled the next hearing in the case for Friday [12/4/2020].  U.S. District Judge Timothy Batten Sr., a George W. Bush appointee, issued three emergency orders on Sunday, initially ordering officials to hold off on taking action regarding the machines before reversing his order and then re-establishing the first order.  In a Nov. 30 order, Batten said his final decision on Sunday partially granting the defendants' motion "involves a controlling question of law as to which there is substantial ground for difference of opinion and that an immediate appeal from the order may materially advance the ultimate termination of the litigation."  The order enables defendants to appeal the temporary ruling to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Judge Reapproves Emergency Order Blocking Georgia From Wiping or Resetting Voting Machines.  The federal judge overseeing high profile attorney Sidney Powell's election lawsuit in Georgia issued a temporary restraining order late Sunday night, declaring that election officials were barred from wiping or altering Dominion voting machines used in the November election.  The emergency order was the third issued in so many hours over Powell's lawsuit seeking an emergency order to see "voting machines be seized and impounded immediately for forensic audit by plaintiffs' experts."  U.S. District Judge Timothy Batten Sr. overturned his first order when defendants argued that the machines were not in their possession, and that the relevant parties were not listed in the lawsuit.  "Plaintiffs' request fails because the voting equipment that they seek to impound is in the possession of county election officials.  Any injunction the court issues would extend only to defendants and those within their control, and plaintiffs have not demonstrated that county election officials are within defendants' control," the judge wrote.

Pennsylvania Justices Accused of Playing Politics After Dismissing Challenge Over Absentee Ballots.  Democrats on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court handed down a unanimous decision on Saturday night, dismissing a suit brought by Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PN) and a handful of other GOP candidates challenging what they consider to be unlawful changes made to absentee ballot requirements stipulated by the state constitution.  The ruling overturns a lower court's order preventing Pennsylvania from certifying election results following the Nov. 3 election.  On Wednesday, judge Patricia McCullough ordered the state to halt certification of election results a day after Joe Biden was certified the winner in the Keystone State.

Case Dismissed?  Analysis of Decision in Pennsylvania's Parnell Case.  Earlier this evening [11/28/2020], the Pennsylvania Supreme Court issued a brief, three-page order dismissing an election lawsuit brought by Sean Parnell and several other qualified Pennsylvania voters challenging the constitutionality of Pennsylvania's recently-enacted state law governing mail-in voting.  In doing so, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court also vacated a lower court judge's preliminary injunction preventing the Pennsylvania Secretary of State from certifying the results of the 2020 General Election pending resolution of the lawsuit.  In dismissing the lawsuit, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court did so on the narrowest of grounds: that Parnell and the other voters waited too long to file it.  By styling their decision thus, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court avoided having to decide the case on the actual merits:  Is the Pennsylvania mail-in voting law unconstitutional under the Pennsylvania state constitution?  As we shall see below, the answer is most likely "yes."

Witness Testifies at Pennsylvania Election Hearing:  Voting Machines [were] 'Built to Be Manipulated'.  At a Pennsylvania hearing on the election, retired Army Col. Phil Waldron said that voting machines used in the United States were built for manipulating elections.  He alleged that up to 1.2 million votes could have been altered in Pennsylvania and that a forensic analysis would be needed to determine the exact number.  "The voting systems in the U.S. and in Pennsylvania were built to be manipulated," Phil Waldron, a cybersecurity expert dealing with intelligence and information warfare for some 30 years, said in the hearing.  Waldron told the committee that he personally debriefed the son of a Cuban intelligence officer who was told by Hugo Chavez's family members "not to worry about the populist threat against Maduro's election in Venezuela" because "it was guaranteed, their father invested the money to build the SGO voting machine system."  Independent attorney Sidney Powell told Fox News on Nov. 16 that President Trump's legal team has a sworn affidavit from a high-ranking official from Venezuela testifying that the SGO voting system is a tool for manipulation.

Pennsylvania Bombshell: Biden 99.4% v. Trump 0.6%.  This particular gem was provided by Ret.  Col. Phil Waldren, a former combat officer with a background in Army information and electronic warfare. [...] If what Waldren alleges here is true, then this would constitute one of the most insidious examples of documented voter fraud in the history of American presidential politics.  This one spike alone would have erased Donald Trump's 600,000-vote lead over Joe Biden late Tuesday night, November 3.  Biden has reportedly won Pennsylvania by about 70,000 votes.  This one swing would have done it.  If this is true, then this episode alone might well constitute a smoking gun affirming a fraudulent election in Pennsylvania.  And yet, this electoral bombshell has been completely ignored by the mainstream press.  The only national sources that I could find reporting it were RealClearPolitics, Breitbart, and Greg Kelly of Newsmax TV.  The video link that I've provided is courtesy of Right Side Broadcasting Network, a conservative source, filling a gap vacated by shameless mainstream "news" sources, which avoided the hearing like the plague.

Brazilian President:  There Is Widespread Evidence Of Voting Fraud In US.  The president of Brazil said he plans to wait "a bit longer" to recognize a winner of the U.S. presidential election.  On Sunday [11/29/2020], Jair Bolsonaro told reporters he thinks it's wise to allow President Trump's legal arguments to go through in court before congratulating a winner.  He also said there is evidence of widespread voting fraud, though he added he's not sure whether it was enough to sway the election.

Democrats face accusations of fraud in House race after 28K vote election night lead erased by judge and mail-in ballots.  A New York congressional race came down to a judge personally reviewing individual spoiled ballots, resulting in the Democratic incumbent erasing his nearly 30,000-vote deficit to take a 13-vote lead and declaring victory.  "In NY-22, the Democrat incumbent was trailing by almost 30K on election night," said Hot Air editor Jazz Shaw on Twitter.  "The mail-in ballots got him close.  Then a Democrat judge from Syracuse ruled he would personally 'review' all of the spoiled ballots that had been rejected.  Guess what happened next."  "The judge miraculously 'found' enough ballots that he felt were okay and the incumbent now 'leads' by 13 votes," Shaw continued.

Lawsuit seeks to nullify Wisconsin election result.  A new lawsuit is asking the Wisconsin Supreme Court to toss the results of the presidential election, arguing that the state's elections commission encouraged "illegal" absentee ballot drop boxes to be placed across the state.  The petitioner in the case, voter Dean Mueller, claims through attorney Karen Mueller that the Wisconsin Elections Commission's direction led to more than 500 drop boxes being placed in municipalities without legal authority.  "Therefore, the ballot drop boxes that it encouraged the elections official to set up in 72 counties throughout the State of Wisconsin are illegal.  Therefore, the ballots placed within the drop boxes are illegal ballots and cannot be counted under Wisconsin law," the petition states.

FBI requests group's election fraud data that shows 'hundreds of thousands' of fraudulent ballots.  Amistad Project Director Phillip Kline announced that the FBI requested to look into former chief Trump campaign strategist's Matt Braynard's data on election fraud.  "After learning that hundreds of thousands of ballots are potentially fraudulent — The FBI has requested to look at our data," Kline announced on Twitter Sunday.

The Editor says...
The FBI always wants to look at the opposing players' cards.  That doesn't mean they're interested in prosecuting voter fraud.

Expert:  More than 1.7M Biden votes in California are suspect.  The consolation prize for President Trump in the Golden State was that he won 5.5 million votes in 2020, a million plus more than four years ago.  But did Joe Biden really top 11 million ballots as officially reported?  One experienced programmer and information security expert thinks the answer is likely not.  In fact, the Democratic candidate may not have even topped 10 million.  Doing a deep dive analysis of the election live-feed used by the New York Times, the researcher, with two decades of experience looking for data anomalies, estimated that at least 1.7 million votes for Joe Biden were statistically suspicious and likely the result of electronic fraud, he told PressCalifornia.com in an exclusive interview.  Filtering out suspicious anomalies in the data, the Fortune 500 company data auditor estimated that Trump lost by California by an estimated 2,990,000 votes, rather than the current official count of about 4,732,000 votes.

Understanding the head-spinning series of court orders in Georgia.  If you're wondering what happened in Georgia on Sunday, you're not alone. [...] In Coreco Ja'qan Pearson, et al. v. Brian Kemp, et al., a lawsuit seeking to stop Georgia from certifying the election, the plaintiffs filed an emergency request for injunctive relief to stop the deletions.  Judge Timothy C. Batten, Sr. issued an order stopping Union County officials from wiping voting machines:  ["]In addition, Plaintiffs contend that Union County officials have advised that they are going to wipe or reset the voting machines of all data and bring the count back to zero on Monday, November 30.  To the extent Plaintiffs seek a temporary restraining order to preserve the voting machines of the State of Georgia, and to prevent any wiping of data, their motion is granted.  Defendants are ordered to maintain the status quo and are temporarily enjoined from wiping or resetting any voting machines in the State of Georgia until further order of the Court.["]  This was an appropriate order.  The point of injunctive relief is to stop irreversible actions that could negatively affect material issues in a lawsuit.

Legitimacy of Biden Win Buried by Objective Data.  A growing body of evidence ranging from straightforward ballot audits to complex quantitative analyses suggests that the tabulation of the votes was characterized by enough chicanery to alter the outcome of the election.  Consequently, a consensus has gradually developed among the auditors of publicly available information released by the states, and it contradicts the narrative promulgated by the Democrats and the media.  The more data experts see, the less convinced they are that Biden won.  Among the analysts who question the legitimacy of Biden's victory is Dr. Navid Keshavarz-Nia, a cybersecurity expert whose technical expertise was touted by the New York Times last September and who has been described as a hero in the Washington Monthly.  It's unlikely that either publication will be singing his praises for his work pursuant to the recent election.  His damning analysis of the electronic manipulation of votes that occurred in the early hours of November 4th appears in a sworn affidavit included with C.J. Pearson v. Kemp, a lawsuit filed by Attorney Sidney Powell in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.

FBI Requests Fraud, Disenfranchisement Evidence, Researcher Says.  The FBI has reached out to an election integrity researcher for evidence of potential crimes in the 2020 election, according to the researcher, who is also a former Trump campaign official.  The evidence was collected by the Voter Integrity Project (VIP) led by Matt Braynard, former data and strategy director for President Donald Trump's 2016 election campaign.  "The @FBI has proactively and directly requested from me the VIP findings that indicates illegal ballots," Braynard said in a Nov. 29 tweet.  "By Tuesday, we will have delivered to the agency all of our data, including names, addresses, phone numbers, etc."  His account was backed by the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society, a conservative nonprofit that says it retained Braynard to conduct the work.

Dem Rod Blagojevich's first-hand advice on cheating: 'I know how they operate.  The evidence will be there.'  Former Illinois Democrat Gov. Rod Blagojevich gained a lot of knowledge about how the big city Democrat political machines rule the roost at election time.  "Blago" insists that President Trump has a constitutional obligation to challenge the 2020 election results based on "overwhelming" allegations of statistical irregularities in the ballot counting, and he will ultimately win at the Supreme Court.  In gathering evidence of vote fraud, Trump's legal team should concentrate on putting forth their allegations in court documents rather than allow the Biden-promoting, corporate media to preemptively discredit them, he added.

President Trump Vows to Reveal Massive Voter Fraud and Overturn Results in 2020 Election.  President Donald Trump joined Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures in an extensive interview that included the developments by his legal team in the 2020 election.  During the conversation President Trump mocked the "record-setting" "results" by Joe Biden in the 2020 election.  [Video clip]

Sidney Powell:  Voting Contracts in Georgia Warrant Criminal Investigation.  Sidney Powell, who has filed election-related lawsuits in favor of President Donald Trump's campaign, said that Dominion Voting Systems should be investigated over a lucrative Georgia contract that was awarded to the election systems maker.  "There should be an investigation, a thorough criminal investigation, frankly, of everyone involved in acquiring the Dominion [Voting] System for the state of Georgia," Powell told Newsmax on Nov. 28, adding that there were potential "benefits being paid to family members of those who signed the contract."  Dominion Voting Systems has denied all of Powell's allegations of fraud, corruption, and any alleged ties to foreign governments in statements to The Epoch Times.  "And frankly, for every other state, given how appalling the system is and the fact it was designed to manipulate the votes and destroy the real votes of American citizens who were casting legal votes," Powell said.

Is the FBI Finally Looking Into Voter Fraud?  A tidal wave of reports over alleged voter fraud and other irregularities in the 2020 election cycle should keep FBI investigators busy for the foreseeable future, that is if FBI Director Christopher Wray's investigators care to look.  The FBI has been accused of turning a blind eye as hundreds of witnesses step forward and mountains of evidence pile up suggesting a lot of funny business took place during the Nov. 3 election.  But could that be changing?  Matt Braynard, a former data chief and strategist for the Trump campaign, and his team at The Voter Integrity Project have conducted a review of ballot and election results in the 2020 election.  Braynard went through his team's work in a recent video, revealing the troubling findings his team uncovered in the course of their research.

What If Biden Were Seeking Recounts?  Imagine if Joe Biden had enjoyed a healthy lead on election night only to see it evaporate as the numbers dripped in from Republican strongholds.  Does anyone believe the mainstream media would have rushed to anoint Donald Trump the winner?  Would the New York Times, Washington Post, NPR and other outlets have cast the inevitable Democrat demands for ballot reviews and recounts as a constitutional crisis or would they have run wall-to-wall coverage about the inherent problems associated with mail-in ballots?  We don't have to imagine the answer [...] On the morning of his inauguration — which was boycotted by several dozen Democrat members of Congress because, as Rep. Jerrold Nadler said, he was not "legally elected" — a Washington Post article reported, "The campaign to impeach President Trump has begun."

The Constitutional Duty of States in a Contested Presidential Election.  This analysis was inspired, indeed provoked, by an article written by Andrew McCarthy appearing in the historically Never-Trump National Review. [...] The U.S. Constitution vests the total authority to select electors in state legislators, not Governors, Secretaries of State, or pundits.  Mr. McCarthy would believe that laws enacted by states can diminish that authority.  But they cannot.  And if the counting of the votes from the November 3 election demonstrates foreign meddling, then state legislatures absolutely will be required to carry out the mission assigned them by Alexander Hamilton in Federalist 68 by exercising their authority, as the Constitution states, to "appoint" electors. [...] The appointment of these electors is thus placed absolutely and wholly with the legislatures of the several states.  They may be chosen by the legislature, or the legislature may provide that they shall be elected by the people of the state at large, or in districts, as are members of congress, which was the case formerly in many states; and it is [no] doubt competent for the legislature to authorize the governor, or the supreme court of the state, or any other agent of its will, to appoint these electors.  This power is conferred upon the legislatures of the states by the constitution of the United States, and cannot be taken from them or modified by their state constitutions[.]

Skeptical of Voter Fraud in 2020? Here's Your Evidence.  Has anyone ever told you that "You can't do it" and "You're crazy" over and over?  Perhaps they've told you this so many times, you've started to believe it yourself.  This is what's happening in our election today.  The media is telling us "There is no evidence.  You can't prove it" and "You are just a crazy conspiracy theorist" over and over again.  They're gaslighting, ridiculing, and dismissing.  But we all know something is up.  70% of Republicans suspect foul play; far lower than it has ever been in the history of U.S. elections.  Something doesn't smell right, even if we can't quite put our finger on it.  Can we do better than that though?  Can we provide evidence?  I will argue that we most certainly can.  If you suspect fraud or you are open to the possibility, this article is for you.

Pollster's exhaustive list of reasons he finds the 2020 election 'deeply puzzling' gains steam.  [Scroll down]  Yet, the corrupt media establishment, seemingly content with the perceived outcome of the 2020 election, exercises zero intellectual curiosity about these anomalies.

Lt Gen McInerney Claims It Was Delta Forces Who Actually Raided A CIA Facility in Frankfurt To Seize Dominion Servers, 5 Killed.  Lt General Thomas McInerney and Lt General Michael Flynn gave interviews to WVW Broadcasting Network today.  It was Flynn's first interview since his pardon.  In stunning testimony, McInerney stated his sources have told him U.S. Army Special Forces, possibly the famed Delta Force, raided the CIA-run server farm in Frankfurt, Germany. 5 soldiers were killed in the ensuing firefight, as well as one CIA paramilitary.  The CIA personnel were allegedly flown in from Afghanistan for security, according to reports.  A subsequent review of the secured servers yielded proof that China, Iran, and Russia were involved in the attempted coup against President Donald Trump, who will be shown to have won an overwhelming victory for the American people, McInerney revealed.  "These people have committed treason," declared McInerney.  He pleaded with President Trump to not leave office until the treason is uncovered, otherwise America will be fatally wounded and ripe for takeover by our enemies.  [Video clip]

Pennsylvania State Legislators Will Vote To Send Their Own Electors For Trump, Cite Massive Irregularities!  The Penn State Legislation has just laid down the gauntlet and is taking back power stolen from them from the Secretary of State, the Gov and Supreme Court.  The State Legislators will now vote for their own electors to be sent to DC to vote for Trump.  Oh, it's about to hit the fan!  "It is absolutely imperative that we take these steps if we are to ensure public trust in our electoral system," the lawmakers said in a press release announcing their actions.  "Faith in government begins with faith in the elections which select that government.  Just as Pennsylvania led the founding of our nation, Pennsylvania should also lead the way by making sure our commonwealth continues to stand as a keystone in our nation where free and fair elections are of paramount concern, no matter the final outcome of those elections."

Sidney Powell's Georgia Lawsuit Claims It Has Clear Proof Of Fraud, Fake Ballots Had Incorrect Watermarks.  Attorney Sidney Powell filed a 104-page lawsuit in Georgia alleging massive voter fraud in the 2020 election.  Sidney Powell's lawsuit contained allegations of numerous irregularities, anomalies, old fashioned "ballot stuffing," violations of Georgia's Election Code, unlawful audit procedures and use of voting machines to manipulate votes.  Many witnesses testified they saw ballots marked for President Trump being put into Joe Biden piles and pre-printed "pristine" ballots that went 100% for Joe Biden.  One affiant testified they saw "counterfeit" ballots with darker colored watermarks that went 100% to Joe Biden.

Air Force General Exposes CIA Vote Hacking.  As allegations of fraud and irregularities in the election mount in overwhelming numbers, a retired and highly decorated Air Force General came forward to expose the CIA on vote hacking.  Retired Lieutenant General Thomas G. McInerney, a former US Air Force Assistant Vice-Chief of Staff, said that the CIA might be behind the efforts to sabotage the election.  In an interview with One America News Network reporter Pearson Sharp, Lt. Gen. McInerney exposed what could be the largest blow in the presidential election.  The former Air Force general disclosed two software called "Hammer" and "Scorecard" used by the leftists as a superweapon in sabotaging the votes.  McInerney claims the software was designed during the first term of President George W Bush.  McInerney stated, "People must understand that this software was used to overturn the 2020 election."  He said that massive amounts of cyberwarfare were used in the voting system.

Here Are Some More Troubling Questions About the Election Numbers.  Folks on the left and in media have been downplaying or mocking any questions about the legitimacy of the election.  This despite sworn affidavits as to a variety of issues in multiple states.  You would think that media would want to report on some of the allegations.  But in large measure, the national media has mostly turned a blind eye, any of the actual affidavits from witnesses.  The only coverage has been from conservative or local media.  But the results of the election themselves raise questions.

Ain't That Peculiar.  Spectator USA has posted Patrick Basham's column "Reasons why the 2020 presidential election is deeply puzzling."  Subhead:  "If only cranks find the tabulations strange, put me down as a crank."  I've asked our friends at Spectator USA to make the column accessible, but at the moment it is behind their (semipermeable) paywall.  Basham is not a crank.  He is founding director of the Democracy Institute and was an adjunct scholar with Cato's Center for Representative Government.  In his Spectator column Basham first spells out anomalies in the stated results of the 2020 presidential election.  He observes, for example, "President Trump received more votes than any previous incumbent seeking reelection.  He got 11 million more votes than in 2016, the third largest rise in support ever for an incumbent.  By way of comparison, President Obama was comfortably reelected in 2012 with 3.5 million fewer votes than he received in 2008."  The anomalies may be just that, but Basham then turns to nine peculiarities that "lack compelling explanations[.]"

Reasons why the 2020 presidential election is deeply puzzling.  [Scroll down]  The following peculiarities also lack compelling explanations:
  [#1]   Late on election night, with Trump comfortably ahead, many swing states stopped counting ballots.  In most cases, observers were removed from the counting facilities.  Counting generally continued without the observers
  [#2]   Statistically abnormal vote counts were the new normal when counting resumed.  They were unusually large in size (hundreds of thousands) and had an unusually high (90 percent and above) Biden-to-Trump ratio
  [#3]   Late arriving ballots were counted.  In Pennsylvania, 23,000 absentee ballots have impossible postal return dates and another 86,000 have such extraordinary return dates they raise serious questions
  [#4]   The failure to match signatures on mail-in ballots.  The destruction of mail in ballot envelopes, which must contain signatures
  [#5]   Historically low absentee ballot rejection rates despite the massive expansion of mail voting.  Such is Biden's narrow margin that, as political analyst Robert Barnes observes, 'If the states simply imposed the same absentee ballot rejection rate as recent cycles, then Trump wins the election'
  [#6]   Missing votes.  In Delaware County, Pennsylvania, 50,000 votes held on 47 USB cards are missing
  [#7]   Non-resident voters.  Matt Braynard's Voter Integrity Project estimates that 20,312 people who no longer met residency requirements cast ballots in Georgia.  Biden's margin is 12,670 votes

Dominion Rep Who Scanned Ballots in Georgia Also Worked for Kamala Harris.  A Dominion representative who has been scanning ballots in Floyd County, Georgia, appears to have worked as an official photographer for Kamala Harris' campaign last year.  Over 3,000 votes, the majority of which were for President Trump, went initially uncounted in the county.

Pennsylvania Supreme Court Tosses Challenge to Vote-by-Mail Because it came Too Late.  The Pennsylvania Supreme Court issued an order Saturday [11/28/2020] vacating a lower court's decision to suspend the certification of the state's vote in the presidential election, holding that a challenge to the state's vote-by-mail laws had come too late.  Earlier this week, Pennsylvania certified its vote.  But Commonwealth Court Judge Patricia McCullough blocked further steps to put the certification into effect, and upheld her earlier injunction on Friday, holding that a challenge to the state's 2019 law allowing "no-excuse" vote-by-mail violated the state constitution.

Report: Thousand of Fake/Manipulated Ballots Found During Dane County, Wisconsin, Recount.  As previously reported by Wisconsin election reviewers the badger state does not have a formal process for ordinary absentee ballot submissions.  Instead there is a process for a very specific type of absentee request used by persons labeled "indefinitely confined."  In all prior years those submissions were in the hundreds; however, in the 2020 election that process was used by people appearing to be "ballot harvesting", a process not allowed by state law in Wisconsin.  The number of those ballots skyrocketed.

Pennsylvania Supreme Court throws out GOP campaign lawsuit deemed 'likely to succeed' by judge.  The Pennsylvania Supreme Court threw out a lawsuit from GOP Rep. Mike Kelly and failed Republican congressional candidate Sean Parnell, among others.  The state's highest court dismissed the suit on Saturday evening that sought to vacate all mail-in ballots claiming that the legislature passed the laws that expanded their use unconstitutionally.  They ruled that the group of Republicans failed to "file their facial constitutional challenge in a timely manner," given the law was passed more than a year ago.  "At the time this action was filed on November 21, 2020, millions of Pennsylvania voters had already expressed their will in both the June 2020 Primary Election and the November 2020 General Election and the final ballots in the 2020 General Election were being tallied, with the results becoming seemingly apparent," the justices wrote.

Here Are Some More Troubling Questions About the Election Numbers.  [Scroll down]  But the president also made gains among minorities, getting from 8 percent of the black vote in 2016 to getting at least 12% in 2020, according to some measures.  Normally that much would have doomed Joe Biden's candidacy. [...] Moreover while there were spikes in exactly the cities that Biden needed in the critical swing states, there weren't comparable spikes in comparable cities.  Because while Biden supposedly won more votes than anyone in history (despite not being able to get out people to fill his circles in anemic events), he "won a record low of 17 percent of counties; he only won 524 counties, as opposed to the 873 counties Obama won in 2008."  But supposedly had more total votes.  What that says is the increase was where it needed to be, not across the board, in what one would have to say was very unusual.

The Pennsylvania hearing:  The second Gettysburg Address.  If a huge story drops in the middle of a crowded room and no "journalist" is there from the mainstream media to cover it — is it still a story?  The answer is yes.  Wednesday November 25, the day before Thanksgiving, may go down as the backdrop for the nation's second Gettysburg Address.  And there is a good chance you might not have heard it or anything about it.  Apart from several live streams of the event, OANN was the only network to cover it on television.  But despite the media blackout and Twitter's censorship, the truth has a funny way of spreading.  If the Trump team and their witnesses manage to duplicate and produce testimony as compelling and powerful as what was on display in Pennsylvania, the 2020 election is far from over.

Five Videos — Five States Where Votes Were Switched Live on TV Away from President Trump to Biden.  There's been lots of analysis of the Edison JSON live data feeds on election night showing vote decreases and switches.  A Gateway Pundit reporter, who works in media, found several examples of switched votes that were broadcast live on TV.  The videos are clipped and explained in these links for findings in 4 states, so far.

Newt Gingrich: 2020 Election May Be 'Biggest Presidential Theft' Since 1824.  Newt Gingrich believes the 2020 election may be the "biggest presidential theft" since 1824 and is urging state legislatures to "demand recounts."  "The more data comes out on vote anomalies that clearly are not legitimate the more it looks like 2020 may be the biggest Presidential theft since Adams and Clay robbed Andrew Jackson in 1824," the former House speaker said in a Friday [11/27/2020] tweet.

A Football Analogy to Explain Democrats' Election Cheating.  [Scroll down]  We know they cheated.  We've seen the replay on the JumboTron, watched it over and over again at home, looked it up on the internet, read the analysis, and we know what happened.  The Dems know they cheated, too.  Everything they've done since November 3 is the equivalent of rushing up to the line of scrimmage to try to snap the ball before the challenge flag comes out:  going outside to celebrate; calling Biden "President-Elect"; calling for unity, reconciliation, and acceptance; reminding us how graciously Obama assisted the Trump transition; and swooning over each of Biden's Cabinet appointees.  They haven't spent one minute trying to refute charges of election fraud, but they've spent lots of minutes dismissing, denying, and deriding them.  They're acting as if the next play has already been run and the Trump campaign has lost the ability to challenge the election.  It saddens me to say they may get away with it.

Disenfranchising the Nonexistent and Illegal Voters.  A few days ago, I forwarded a note about the proposed joint resolutions of the Pennsylvania legislators to refuse to certify the results of a patently fraudulent election.  I got a response which certainly anticipates the Democrats' talking points:  "Disenfranchising voters is not what conservatives do."  Of course not.  It's what Democrats do by diluting their votes time and again with illegal and nonexistent voters.  Refusing to recognize fraud by removing such votes from the tally at certification time is what conservatives should do.  To fail to do so is to ensure that we will never have free, honest elections again and legal voters voting in accord with relevant laws will be disenfranchised while illegal and nonexistent voters will win.

Did President Trump Spring a Trap on Treasonous Democrats on Election Night?  After the November 3 presidential election of 2020, a news story broke reporting the seizure of important computer servers in Frankfurt, Germany.  Though the event is disputed, what occurred, according to the Gateway Pundit, was this:  "[a] unit under the command of USEUCOM (i.e., United States European Command) did in fact conduct an operation to take control of computer servers.  But these servers belong to the CIA. ... Such an operation would have been carried out with US law enforcement present to take custody of the evidence."  The presence of federal agents of the court would guarantee a chain of legal custody for the servers that would render their data admissible before a judge.  Gina Haspel and Christopher Wray were supposedly not informed of the raid in advance, leaving the CIA and FBI heads necessarily blind to this action and, therefore, unable to interfere.  This means that the CIA was certainly the target and that a law enforcement agency unrelated to the FBI, such as the U.S. Marshalls or the Secret Service, was likely used to take control of the evidence.  The timely firing of Mark Esper prior to the raid would mean that the oppositional defense secretary was cut off from foreknowledge of the raid and, therefore, would have been unable to disrupt what was going to transpire.

New reports about election manipulation read like a Tom Clancy novel.  On Friday [11/27/2020], a retired top Air Force intelligence analyst stated with certainty during an interview that special forces had secured a CIA-run facility in Germany that had computers showing election manipulation.  If this report is real, we are witnessing the biggest coup attempt, sabotage, and treason in American history.  No matter what, though, because this report is out there and comes from serious people, it deserves serious investigation.  I have no idea whether this raid happened.  Its having taken place, however, is consistent with my ruminations about Trump's peculiarly-timed shake-up at the Pentagon:  Firing defense secretary Mark Esper and replace him with Christopher Miller, a special forces man; moving special forces into their own command, rather than having them function as subsets of other military branches; and firing potentially disloyal members of the civilian Defense Policy Board.  These actions indicated that Trump was clearing the decks for something big.

The most interesting articles are the ones where the reader can hardly tell if it's fact or fiction.  This is one of those cases.

"One Person One Vote" Means Each Person Votes Only Once.  It is only because we trust the results of elections that we agree to the peaceful transfer of power and accept defeat at the polls.  All across this country this confidence in the integrity of the electoral process is being rapidly eroded.  Against the backdrop of the continued, documented abuse of power by our "leaders" in Washington, tens of millions of Americans are talking openly of of rebellion of some kind.  They no longer believe what they are told by a media that is every day ever closer to being a propaganda machine for left wing political interests than it is the "fourth estate".  There is a good reason for this mistrust.  Even the most basic assurances of integrity and transparency are absent from the electoral process as it exists in virtually every state.  Issue after issue, many of them massive, surfaces every day.  The appearance is of a system which is ready made for abuse and virtually impossible to audit or review in any meaningful way.

Voter Fraud — First of Three:  Did The Dead Vote In Pennsylvania?  Denise Lynn (Ichenko) Ondick was born on September 10, 1946.  She married Thomas Ondick, had two children and passed away peacefully at her home in West Homestead, Pennsylvania on October 22, 2020.  Family and friends attended a viewing on October 25th and a funeral mass on October 26th at St. Thomas the Apostle Parish, St. Maximilian Kolbe Church, in Homestead.  The day after Mrs. Ondick died her application to vote was received by Allegheny County.  Her ballot was mailed out on October 24th.  Her ballot was received back by the county office on November 2, 2020.  It is unclear for whom she voted.  That's a documented case, but it has been treated so far as an outlier.

The Editor says...
"It is unclear for whom she voted," the writer says.  No, it isn't.  Dead people don't vote Republican.

Voter Fraud — Second Of Three:  More Dead Voters In Pennsylvania.  We have just finished voting in a Presidential election.  The evidence of irregularities and deliberate criminal behavior is overwhelming.  I don't know if that evidence shows that Donald Trump won or — if after it is investigated — Joe Biden will be the victor.  I do know that in a free society based on the rule of law such evidence must not be ignored.  It must be thoroughly considered and evaluated, so that all of us have confidence in our electoral results.  The self-appointed "elite" that believes it rules, wants none of that.  Abetted by their lackies in the legacy news media, they are pushing as hard as they can to pull down the curtain and rush ahead to the coronation of their puppet President, the doddering Joe Biden.

Media Childishly Dismissive of Gettysburg Vote Fraud Hearing.  The mainstream media, rather than cover in any real detail the serious allegations of voting fraud that were presented at a Gettysburg hearing of the Pennsylvania Senate Majority Policy Committee on Wednesday, instead mocked and dismissed the event.  CNN made no effort to hide its extreme bias over the hearing in its headline which described it as a "baseless voter fraud event," "Trump invites Pennsylvania GOP lawmakers to White House after calling in to baseless voter fraud event."  In addition, the story put "hearing" in quotes so as to present it as somehow not a real hearing.

Showdown in Gettysburg 2020.  Each day, the public is realizing that the most cherished vestige of America's disintegrating democracy — the quadrennial national election to choose the next president — has been hijacked by Banana Republic-type thugs.  Rules are ignored or simply made up as we go to install the chosen leader.  Low-level guerilla operatives dependent on the publicly funded largess of the ruling junta openly and shamelessly flout the law; judges who are in on the fix give their legal imprimatur while state-run media silences any criticism.  This is the sort of stuff American election watchers once condemned as undemocratic.  Jimmy Carter, who dedicated his post-presidency to monitoring elections around the world, issued a congratulatory statement to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris just four days after Election Day, presumably uninterested in widespread reports of ballot dumps and wildly changing vote counts in swing states.  Last week, the Carter Center noted several "inconsistencies" in Georgia's election audit, including concerns about the chain of custody and unsupervised ballots, but nonetheless deemed the process "successful."

Sidney Powell's Allegations in Georgia [are] Serious Enough to Alter the Election Results:  Expert.  Harmeet K. Dhillon said that former federal prosecutor Sidney Powell's allegations in her lawsuit filed in Georgia are serious enough to change the results of the election.  "These are serious allegations. ... Either of these big themes would be enough to change the election results given the narrow margin for Biden," Dhillon said in a lengthy tweet on Thursday [11/26/2020].  Powell filed a lawsuit in Georgia on Wednesday night alleging massive election fraud during the state's 2020 election.  Dhillon, who specializes in First Amendment rights and election law matters, classified the allegations into two groups[.]  [O]ne is "numerous irregularities in vote-counting" based on procedure changes.

Judge: Republicans Will Likely Win Pennsylvania Election Lawsuit.  The judge who ordered Pennsylvania to not certify the results of the 2020 election wrote in an opinion on Friday that the Republicans who filed the related lawsuit will likely win the case.  Pennsylvania Commonwealth Judge Patricia McCullough made the assessment as part of an opinion explaining her rationale for blocking Pennsylvania's election certification.  A group of Republican lawmakers and candidates sued the Keystone State earlier this week, arguing that the state legislature's mail-in voting law — Act 77 — violated the commonwealth's constitution.  "Petitioners appear to have established a likelihood to succeed on the merits because petitioners have asserted the Constitution does not provide a mechanism for the legislature to allow for expansion of absentee voting without a constitutional amendment," McCullough wrote.

Buyer's remorse, already.
Nearly one out five voters would change their vote for Biden.  The Democrats knew what they were doing when they pushed voters to vote early. [...] Turns out that was great for them, but a bad deal for the voters.  In fact, it was a sleight of hand comparable to three-card monte, to a lot of sad marks who gave up their right to an Election-Day vote, cast their ballot as told for Biden, and now can't get it back.  According to OAN One America News, a survey from the Media Research Institute found that 17% of Biden voters regretted their votes.  Some 45% said they had never heard of the Biden scandals, ranging from the sexual assault allegations from legislative staffer Tara Read, to the evidence of selling influence to China and other rogue actors found in the abandoned laptop of Biden's son Hunter.  In the OAN interview, MRC's Dan Gainor told OAN's John Hines that 9% of those Biden voters surveyed said they would have changed their votes based on the news of corruption allegations, which had been repressed on social media and ignored by most of the mainstream press.

There is Undeniable Scientific Evidence of Widespread Voter Fraud.  As the American media continues to claim that no evidence for widespread voter fraud exists, many independent forensic data analysts who have analyzed data scrapes from Edison Research found quite the opposite.  Since November 4th, there have been dozens of statistical analyses completed by data scientists, showing statistical impossibilities in hundreds of counties across the country.  One thorough scientific analysis published calls into question the legitimacy Biden victories in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia.  Another statistical analyst recently revealed a scenario of how Democrats may have pulled off massive fraud in Montgomery county, Pennsylvania.  Another scientific analysis looked at the shift in voting patterns that occurred between the 2016 and 2020 elections to identify suspicious counties.  The two with the largest shifts were Oakland and Wayne.  Experts analyzed the election data from the two Michigan counties, and conclude that there are major statistical aberrations that are extremely unlikely to occur naturally.

The burden of proof should favor Trump in election fraud litigation.  [Scroll down]  In Trump's and Powell's lawsuits, there are roughly three types of evidence:  [#1] Eye-witness evidence that (1) people voted illegally; (2) ballots were counted in secret; (3) ballots were forged, backdated, altered, or repeatedly run through counting machines; (4) there was no signature verification or the machines were altered to fail, and (5) campaign watchers were blocked.  [#2] Expert witness data analysis showing that the pattern of votes (when and how mail-in ballots arrived, the number of votes relative to registered voters, etc.) are so anomalous that they could not happen naturally but had to have been altered by the fraud described in item 1., above, or by computer data manipulation.  [#3] Expert witness information about problems with voting machines (their origin, manufacture, vulnerabilities, etc.).  The extra wrinkle in this case is incontestable evidence that paper trails and electronic trails were deliberately destroyed.

Affidavit in Sidney Powell's Suit Claims Evidence Ties Vote Machines to Iran, China.  An analysis by a onetime military intelligence analyst whose name was redacted in an affidavit with lawyer attorney Sidney Powell's lawsuit against Michigan officials insists there's "unambiguous evidence" that Dominion Voter Systems servers were accessible to and were "compromised by rogue actors, such as Iran and China."  According to reporting by The Epoch Times, Powell's complaint, filed Wednesday against Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, and the Board of State Canvassers, cites the affidavit as representing a former electronic intelligence analyst and supporting claims that "the Dominion software was accessed by agents acting on behalf of China and Iran in order to monitor and manipulate elections, including the most recent US general election in 2020."  Epoch said that a separate complaint in Georgia expands on the assertion, claiming that "by using servers and employees connected with rogue actors and hostile foreign influences combined with numerous easily discoverable leaked credentials, Dominion neglectfully allowed foreign adversaries to access data and intentionally provided access to their infrastructure in order to monitor and manipulate elections, including the most recent one in 2020."

Pennsylvania State Judge Upholds Halt To Certification; Finds Likelihood Mail-In Balloting Procedures Violate PA Constitution.  A Pennsylvania state court Judge has issued a preliminary injunction preventing Pennsylvania from taking any further steps to perfect its certification of the election, including but not limited to appointment of electors and transmission of necessary paperwork to the Electoral College, pending further court hearings and rulings.  The ruling upholds an injunction from earlier in the week, and is significant because of the findings made in the Opinion released tonight.  You can read the Opinion [elsew]here.  The case has been somewhat under the radar, because it doesn't involve claims of fraud.  It appears to be a pretty straight legal argument.  This is not the federal court case that has received a lot of press attention and in which the Third Circuit Court of Appeals denied relief.  The issue in this case is whether legislative expansion of absentee balloting to broad mail-in balloting violated the Pennsylvania Constitution.

Just In:  Arizona State Legislature to Hold Public Hearing on Election Integrity on Monday, Nov. 30.  The Arizona state legislature will hold a hearing on election integrity on Monday, November 30.  The public hearing will be chaired by Representative Mark Finchem, LD-11 with a number of House and Senate members on the hearing panel.  "Since shortly before the 2020 election a number of my colleagues and I have been examining potential fraud pathways and illegal actions through which our 2020 election could become tainted.  My worst fears have come to light in the process, and so far the evidence has been blocked from an official public forum.," Rep Finchem said.  "A few weeks ago I requested approval for the House Federal Relations Committee to hold a hearing on the integrity of the Arizona 2020 election.  That hearing has not yet been approved by House leadership, and time is of the essence to show proof that our election has been compromised."

Pennsylvania State Legislature Files Resolution — Disputes Statewide2020 Election Results.  It is clear the Pennsylvania 2020 election was wrought with fraud and criminal conduct.  President Trump led by nearly 700,000 votes on election night.  Democrats dumped hundreds of thousands of votes to steal the state from the Trump Campaign.  On Wednesday [11/25/2020] the Pennsylvania state legislature held a hearing on the 2020 election issues and irregularities.  One witness described the huge "spikes" in Pennsylvania during the hearing and the crowd gasped.  On Friday the Pennsylvania State legislature filed a resolution to dispute the statewide 2020 election results.

Pennsylvania State Legislature Files Resolution to Dispute Statewide 2020 Election Results.  With mounting evidence of election fraud now visible, members of the Pennsylvania legislature have drafted a joint resolution to overturn election results, reverse the previous state certification, and the sponsors promise they will take it to the Supreme Court if necessary. [...] It is no longer an issue of whether election fraud took place, the issue is now whether the U.S. election system can withstand truthful sunlight and correct the fraud that is well known.  Joe Biden will never be a legitimate U.S. President; everyone knows that.  The scale of victory by President Donald Trump is the problem for those who want to deny what took place.  The efforts to overturn the election results were centered in approximately 10 municipal regions, and Pennsylvania holds two of them in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.

A RESOLUTION Declaring the results of statewide electoral contests in the 2020 General Election to be in dispute.  [Scroll down]  THEREFORE, be it RESOLVED that the Pennsylvania House of Representatives —
  1. Recognizes substantial irregularities and improprieties associated with mail-in balloting, pre-canvassing, and canvassing during the November 3, 2020 election; and
  2. Disapproves of the infringement on the General Assembly's authority pursuant to the United States Constitution to regulate elections; and
  3. Disapproves of and disagrees with the Secretary of the Commonwealth's premature certification of the results of the November 3, 2020 election regarding presidential electors; and
  4. Declares that the selection of presidential electors and other statewide electoral contest results in this Commonwealth is in dispute; and
  5. Urges the Secretary of the Commonwealth and the Governor to withdraw or vacate the certification of presidential electors and to delay certification of results in other statewide electoral contests voted on at the 2020 General Election; and
  6. Urges the United States Congress to declare the selection of presidential electors in this Commonwealth to be in dispute.

Pennsylvania Court Rejects Trump Appeal, Campaign Lawyers Say It's 'On to SCOTUS'.  The U.S. Third Circuit of Appeals in Pennsylvania on Friday rejected President Donald Trump's campaign appeal in their challenge of the state's election results, a move that Trump's lawyers said will allow them to expedite their lawsuits to the U.S. Supreme Court.  "The activist judicial machinery in Pennsylvania continues to cover up the allegations of massive fraud.  We are very thankful to have had the opportunity to present proof and the facts to the [Pennsylvania] state legislature," Trump lawyers Jenna Ellis and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani wrote in response.  "On to SCOTUS!" they wrote, referring to the Supreme Court.  The Third Circuit Court of Appeals wrote that the Trump campaign's challenge doesn't have merit, saying that "voters, not lawyers, choose the President.  Ballots, not briefs, decide elections.  The ballots here are governed by Pennsylvania election law."

Sidney Powell Releases the Kraken.  [Scroll down]  The documentation seems substantial and credible to me, although such far reaching election relief is as far as I know in present day unprecedented, certainly given the Supreme Court's recent tendency to excuse government overreach in a creative reading of the clear words of a Statute or the Constitution.  I was particularly concerned that the courts would buy into the defense that the election rules had to be scrapped because of Covid.  "Necessity" as an excuse for ignoring the law is a well-known ploy.

PA Sen. Mastriano Unveils Joint Resolution To Assign Electoral Votes In Legislature, Pave Way For Trump Victory.  On episode 541 of Steve Bannon's War Room, Senator Doug Mastriano announced that the Pennsylvania state legislature will move to draft a joint resolution to take back the power to appoint presidential electors in a maneuver that could potentially result in President Donald Trump being awarded Pennsylvania's electoral votes.  Mastriano explained to Bannon that in 1938, the Pennsylvania General Assembly gave the authority to select delegates to the Electoral College to the Secretary of State.  "Assuming the election is fair," the delegates would "naturally go to that person."  He noted that if the election isn't fair, the state would be handing the power to the "same party that cheated."

Legislature to Seek to Reclaim Power to Appoint Electors:  Pennsylvania State Sen. Mastriano.  Pennsylvania state Senator Doug Mastriano (R-33) said Friday [11/27/2020] the Republican controlled legislature will seek to reclaim its power to appoint the state's electors to the Electoral College.  Mastriano made his comments in an interview with former Trump administration official Steve Bannon on the War Room podcast, stating the move could take place as early as today [11/27/2020].  Mastriano, a retired U.S. Army Colonel, said he has been working with Pennsylvania House and Senate members on a joint resolution to "grab back" their constitutional authority from the secretary of state that was ceded in 1938.

Rudy Giuliani:  Trump team has a 'mountain' of evidence, and you ain't seen nothing yet.  The Trump legal team has a "mountain" of evidence showing voting fraud that the public has yet to see and could tilt the election away from President-elect Joe Biden, according to Rudy Giuliani.  Reveling in what he billed a successful hearing in Pennsylvania on Wednesday, the personal lawyer to President Trump told Fox Business host Lou Dobbs the Republican state senators in attendance "seemed to be very impressed with the evidence" the legal team presented.  The team has faced several setbacks and losses across multiple key battleground states in the three weeks since the election, but Giuliani stressed this was the group's first real opportunity to present its evidence, claiming the media and judges are "suppressing it."

Twitter is now warning you away from witness testimony at public hearings.  If these facts were asserted by Team Biden, every network would have covered this Pa hearing LIVE.

Sidney Powell Shoves Her Chips 'All in' With Georgia Complaint Alleging Rigged Election — Part One.  Sidney Powell made good on her promise to file an astonishing lawsuit on Wednesday night [11/25/2020].  On behalf of several Republican Presidential Electors, Powell — joined as Plaintiffs' counsel by famed Atlanta trial attorney Lin Wood — filed a 104-page complaint that begins with the allegations that the Dominion voting system sold to Georgia was originally designed for, and used by, Hugo Chavez to ensure that he never lost an election as President of Venezuela.  The complaint alleges that various uncontrolled and open parts of the software architecture are designed so that real-time activity logs can be modified to delete activity involving vote switching and/or addition/subtraction from the accumulated vote totals in such a way that the activity would not appear on the activity logs as part of an audit.

We Needed the Result We Got.  [Scroll down]  The 2020 election revealed three very real dangers to our democracy.  The first danger is the media.  They cannot be trusted.  Their credibility has long been suspect, but they are little more than a Democrat PR firm.  They not only refused to call out Joe Biden on his corruption, but actively suppressed any stories relating to it.  Going forward, the so-called "fourth branch" can no longer consist of just the officially recognized journalists.  They must forever be supplanted by citizen journalists who will disseminate information through means outside the control of the government and corporations.  Americans have a right to hear all sides to all stories.

Poll Watcher Describes Pennsylvania Election Irregularities, Including 47 Missing USB Cards.  A Republican poll observer from Pennsylvania's Delaware County, told a Senate GOP Policy Committee hearing in Gettysburg on Wednesday, that he witnessed a range of Election Day irregularities, including 47 USB cards that went missing.  Greg Stenstrom, who, besides being a poll watcher, said he is an expert in security fraud, told the hearing that he witnessed a number of chain-of-custody violations, including around mail-in ballots, the balance of votes from drop boxes, and the handling of USB card flash drives — all of which he said broke rules defined by the Delaware County Board of Elections and the election process review.  "They didn't follow one," Stenstrom said.  "It shocked me that this could happen," he added.  He described witnessing a situation in which data on USB cards was uploaded to voting machines by a warehouse superviser without being observed by a poll watcher, which he said he saw happening at least 24 times.

Very Brief Election Challenge Update.  We saw last night [11/24/2020] that the Thomas More Society, through its Amistad Project, filed an emergency motion with the Wisconsin Supreme Court.  Their claim focuses on absentee ballots — but that includes a variety of types of fraud.  Fraudulent Biden votes, Republican ballots not counted, etc.  However, a notable aspect of this motion is that it draws attention to the use of a huge amount of money from Mark Zuckerberg that funded dodgy Dem GOTV efforts (as well, most likely, as efforts to suppress GOP voting).  Again, the details will vary from one state to another.  What's important is that the Thomas More people zero in on the fact that the Zuckerberg millions was "gifted" to county and municipal governments.  That's illegal in virtually every state in this country.  In addition it appears that the Thomas More people are working closely with Brad Maynard's project that is also focusing on absentee voting irregularities.  The votes involved would easily flip Wisconsin to Trump, and Thomas More appears to have Wisconsin law — and its Supreme Court — on its side.  Late today the Thomas More Society filed a similar motion in Georgia.  The focus once again is on Zuckerberg's millions flowing, illegally, to county and municipal governments.  As in Wisconsin, the claim is that large numbers of Biden votes were fraudulently cast, and that "tens of thousands" of Trump votes were not counted. [...] Finally, the Big Enchilada:  Pennsylvania.  A judge in the the Pittsburgh area has enjoined the certification of the election in Pennsylvania.  This is a perfect illustration of what I was saying about how complicated matters are from state to state.  This injunction was issued on state constitutional grounds.  The very short version is that the state constitution conflicts with a state election law, and the constitution should take precedence.

Complaint For Declaratory, Emergency, and Permanent Injunctive Relief [in Georgia].  [Scroll down to page 6]  Indeed, under the professional standards within the industry in auditing and forensic analysis, when a log is unprotected, and can be altered, it can no longer serve the purpose of an audit log.  There is incontrovertible physical evidence that the standards of physical security of the voting machines and the software were breached, and machines were connected to the internet in violation of professional standards and state and federal laws.  Moreover, lies and conduct of Fulton County election workers about a delay in voting at State Farm Arena and the reasons for it evince the fraud.  Specifically, video from the State Farm Arena in Fulton County shows that on November 3rd after the polls closed, election workers falsely claimed a water leak required the facility to close.  All poll workers and challengers were evacuated for several hours at about 10:00 PM.  However, several election workers remained unsupervised and unchallenged working at the computers for the voting tabulation machines until after 1:00 AM.

Complaint For Declaratory, Emergency, and Permanent Injunctive Relief [in Michigan].  [Scroll down to page 60] Specifically, Defendants denied the Trump Campaign equal protection of the law and their equal rights to meaningful access to observe and monitor the electoral process enjoyed by citizens in other Michigan Counties by:  (a) denying Republican poll challengers access to the TCF Center or physically removing them or locking them out for pretextual reasons; (b) denied Republican poll watchers meaningful access to, or even physically blocking their view of, ballot handling, processing, or counting; (c) engaged in a systematic pattern of harassment, intimidation, verbal insult, and even physical removal of Republican poll challengers; (d) systematically discriminated against Republican poll watchers and in favor of Democratic poll watchers and activists in enforcing rules (in particular, through abuse of "social distancing" requirements); (e) ignored or refused to record Republican challenges to the violations set forth herein; (f) refusing to permit Republican poll watchers to observe ballot duplication or to check if duplication was accurate; (g) unlawfully coached voters to vote for Biden and other democratic candidates, including at voting stations; and (h) colluded with other Michigan State, Wayne County and City of Detroit employees (including police) and Democratic poll watchers and activists to engage in the foregoing violations.

Sidney Powell Files Lawsuit in Georgia Alleging 'Massive Election Fraud'.  Attorney Sidney Powell filed a federal lawsuit late on Nov. 25 that alleges "massive election fraud" and multiple violations of the Constitution and Georgia's state laws in the 2020 general election, as well as issues pertaining to Dominion Voting Systems.  The civil action claims that the purpose of the alleged actions was for "illegally and fraudulently manipulating the vote count to make certain the election of Joe Biden as president of the United States."  A similar, separate suit was filed in Michigan.  The Georgia suit was filed in the U.S. District Court Northern District of Georgia, Atlanta Division, against Gov. Brian Kemp, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, and other election officials.  The suit seeks to compel the court to invalidate the election results in Georgia.  It was filed on behalf of plaintiffs including Republican Party nominees for the Electoral College, Cobb County Republican Party Chairman Jason Shepherd, and the assistant secretary of the state Republican Party, Brian Jay Van Gundy.

Some Milwaukee Neighborhoods Reported Unusually High Election Turnout.  Some 13,000 fewer people voted in Milwaukee in the 2020 election, compared to 2016.  But in several neighborhoods, the number of ballots cast dramatically increased.  In one city ward, more than 105 percent of the eligible voting population cast ballots, based on demographic data from 2010 — the most recent the city makes available.  Another four wards had turnout over 92 percent.  Wisconsin is one of the states where President Donald Trump is contesting the results, which show his opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden, ahead by some 20,000 votes in unofficial results.  Milwaukee, a city of nearly 600,000, is divided into more than 300 wards, each reporting election results for its residents.  Ward 235 recorded 1,768 votes of which 1,391 were for Biden and 339 for Trump.  But the ward only had a voting-eligible population of 1,680, according to the Milwaukee city election commission demographic data, which matches the 2010 census results.

Huge court win lets Trump present ballot evidence, could overturn Nevada result.  A Nevada judge has agreed to let the Trump campaign present its evidence that fraud and illegalities plagued the state's election, enough to reverse Joe Biden's win and set an example for other state challenges.  According to Trump officials, the judge set a Dec. 3 hearing date and is allowing 15 depositions.  What's more, the campaign plans to present its evidence that could result in the rejection of tens of thousands of mail-in ballots in Democratic Clark County, where Biden ballots outnumbered Trump ballots by 91,000 in unofficial results. [...] American Conservative Union Chairman Matt Schlapp, one of those heading the Nevada case, told Secrets, "It gives us a real chance, if to do nothing else, to begin to show this historic level of fraud."

More Troubling Testimony in PA Senate Hearing: 100,000 Ballots in Question, According to Witness.  [Scroll down]  Multiple witnesses came forward with compelling testimony.  We reported how poll watchers were kept away from being able to actually see what was going on while hundreds of thousands of ballots were counted without real scrutiny... the strange spikes of votes for Joe Biden with hundreds of thousands of votes in 90 minutes being counted for Biden with no more than a couple of thousand for Trump in that time.  But perhaps one of the most striking testimonies was from Gregory Stenstrom. who described himself as a "former Commanding Officer in the Navy, veteran of foreign wars, CEO of my own private company, a data scientist & forensic computer scientist & an expert in security & fraud."  He laid out all the problems he had observed as a poll watcher.  Stenstrom described how USB drives went missing and that the chain of custody for drives and ballots was broken and not followed in accordance with the rules.

Nine useful articles and data points showcasing 2020's election theft.  There's a growing body of detailed information explaining both the traditional election fraud and the computer vote theft that threw this election to Biden.  Indeed, in the past weeks, our American Thinker authors have added greatly to that body of work.  Today [11/25/2020], though, there was an explosion of information — including Rudy Giuliani's stunning statements before the Pennsylvania legislature — so I wanted to put a road map together for you in a single post.  Fasten your seatbelts and hold onto your hats, because this is going to be a wild ride of amazing, horrifying, and fascinating information about the greatest election heist in American history.  [Video clips, many details.]

Appeals Court Grants Expedited Review Over Lin Wood's Election Lawsuit in Georgia.  The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday granted Lin Wood's emergency motion seeking an emergency review of a lower court's decision that had rejected his efforts to delay the vote certification in Georgia.  However, the court said that the appeal could only proceed if Wood could address certain jurisdictional issues.  Wood, an attorney with Trump's reelection campaign, announced on Twitter, "Thanksgiving Eve News! 11th Circuit granted my Emergency Motion for Expedited Review of lawsuit challenging validity of GA election procedure.  "We The People delivered a historic landslide win for [President Donald Trump] in GA & nationally.  We The People will not allow it be stolen."  The appellate court presented Wood with two questions about jurisdiction:  "Please address whether the district court's November 20, 2020 order denying the 'Emergency Motion for Temporary Restraining Order' is immediately appealable," and "Please also address whether, and to what extent, any challenge to the denial of the requests for relief in the 'Emergency Motion for Temporary Restraining Order' is now moot."

Crowd Gasps, Laughs, as PA Legislature Learns of Ballot Upload With 600,000 Votes Biden and 3,200 For Trump.  The ballot anomalies in Pennsylvania took center stage today as the legislature heard about statistically implausible returns uploaded to the PA election system overnight from areas with very sketchy election activity.  During one segment of the testimony the data was explained leaving jaws agape.  The crowd responds to the ridiculous nature of what took place.  [Video clip]

The Thieves Who Stole Our Election Got Sloppy.  An unprecedented number of mail-in and absentee ballots were cast this year, and practically everyone expected that this would result in a higher-than-usual rate of ballots being rejected for various flaws, such as lacking a secrecy envelope or missing information.  In Pennsylvania, tens or hundreds of thousands of ballots were likely to be rejected, based on historical patterns.  Instead, a mere 0.03 percent of mail-in ballots were ultimately rejected — somewhere in the neighborhood of about 1,000 votes.  Considering that a significant majority of mail-in votes were cast for Biden, the Democrat candidate benefited handsomely from this discrepancy.  But how did this anomaly happen?  It turns out that election officials in Democrat strongholds such as Allegheny County (Pittsburgh), Philadelphia County, and Philadelphia's collar counties — particularly Delaware County — exceeded their authority in order to give voters preferential treatment that wasn't afforded to voters in Republican-leaning areas of the state.

President Trump addresses Pennsylvania Senate:  I won election.  President Trump reiterated his victory in this year's election amid evidence of potential voter fraud.  Speaking via phone during Pennsylvania's state Senate hearings Wednesday, the President stressed that he won Pennsylvania and other key states by wide margins.  He also highlighted the reports on ballot dumps, phony mail-in ballots and electronic manipulation of votes as the most prominent examples of fraud.  President Trump added 'Dominion Voting Systems' is complicit in altering hundreds-of-thousands of votes to steal the election for the Democrats.  [Video clip]

Illegal Votes From Noncitizens Likely Affected the 2020 Election, Study Says.  Noncitizens likely voted at a high enough rate to alter the 2020 Electoral College tally, potentially flipping the states of Arizona and Georgia in the presidential election, according to an analysis by Just Facts, a research group.  That's significant, and while it wouldn't be enough to hand the election to President Donald Trump, it potentially could have made a difference.  Only U.S. citizens are legally allowed to vote in federal elections.  The revised estimate, as of Monday [11/23/2020], shows that Trump could have won 259 electoral votes if noncitizen votes were not counted.  But that would likely still leave former Vice President Joe Biden with 279 electoral votes, nine votes more than the 270 needed to win.  The current electoral vote tally stands at 306 for Biden, 232 for Trump.  Arizona has 11 Electoral College votes, while Georgia gets 16.

Donald Trump Calls In to Gettysburg Hearing:  We Have to Overturn Election Because Democrats Cheated.  President Donald Trump called in to a Pennsylvania hearing on voter fraud Wednesday, urging supporters to keep fighting the 2020 election results.  "They have to turn over the results," Trump said.  "It would be easy for me to say, 'Oh let's worry about four years from now.' No.  This election was lost by the Democrats, they cheated.  It was a fraudulent election."  The president phoned in to a public hearing on the 2020 election held by Pennsylvania state Republicans at a hotel in Gettysburg.  Several witnesses publicly attested to voter irregularities and opportunities for fraud during the voting and counting process, particularly surrounding mail-in ballots.

Dialing into Pennsylvania GOP meeting, President Trump shows no sign of concession.  President Donald Trump phoned into a meeting of Pennsylvania Republican lawmakers to say he believes he was "cheated" out of a victory in the 2020 election and the outcome should be turned over.  "This was an election that we won easily.  We won it by a lot," Trump said to the lawmakers and Republican supporters in the ballroom of a Gettysburg hotel.  "Very sad to say it — this election was rigged and we can't let that happen.  We can't let it happen for our country.  This election has to be turned around."  Trump has made few appearances since the election and the phone call represents some of the most direct remarks he has made about his desire to see the results of the contest reversed.

Pennsylvania Judge Blocks Election Certification Over Constitutionality of Mail-In Voting.  [Scroll down]  The Plaintiffs — including two individuals who lost election contests for the United States House of Representatives and Pennsylvania House of Representatives — claim that all votes cast by individuals who were not eligible to vote under the provisions of the Sec. 14 of the Constitution, are invalid and should be removed from vote totals in all races.  The "no excuse" absentee ballot option was passed as part of Act 77.  But at the same time, the legislators passed an identical amendment to Sec. 14 of the State Constitution to alter the language of that Section regarding authorized Absentee voting.  The problem is that constitutional amendments must be passed in two successive sessions of the Pennsylvania Assembly, published in newspapers of general circulation in each County of Pennsylvania, and then be adopted by a majority of voters in the next general election before the amendments become effective.

Audible Gasps and Laughter From Crowd and Panel at PA Hearing When Witness Says Vote "Spikes" Went 600,000 For Biden and 3,200 For Trump.  The Pennsylvania state legislature on Wednesday [11/25/2020] held a hearing on the 2020 election issues and irregularities.  President Trump was ahead of Joe Biden in Pennsylvania on election night by 700,000 votes.  Crooked and corrupt elections officials in Pennsylvania and Pittsburgh stopped counting votes on election night after the polls closed because Biden was getting absolutely crushed by President Trump.  Suddenly massive ballot dumps only for Joe Biden appeared and huge spikes of Biden votes were seen added to the election results.  Philadelphia and Pittsburgh counted the massive ballot dumps for Joe Biden without allowing GOP observers to look at the ballots.  On Wednesday [11/25/2020] a witness described the huge "spikes" in Pennsylvania during the hearing and the crowd gasped.

Steps needed to build an apolitical, robust and secure voting system in America.  The practice of democracy in our constitutional republic flourishes in the presence of contradictions.  Democracy, itself, is bound by our inalienable rights, bestowed to us by our Creator.  These rights, not given to us by our government by any majority or by any vote, cannot be rescinded, for they were not wrought by man.  Voting is a contradiction for it is both public and private at the same time.  Its process is intended to be secret, but transparent.  Its agency is intensely partisan, but its effect is intended to be unifying.  The legitimacy of voting must survive despite the contradictions intrinsic to the process.  It is with this background that we must consider a contested national election where there is significant controversy.  We must put ourselves to the question:  How are we to conduct trustworthy elections — not in the presence of good intentions and decisions, but in a domain populated by risks, usurpations and threats to freedom whose scope we cannot foretell?

Kraken squared:  Sidney Powell releases TWO election lawsuits in Georgia and Michigan.  How many Krakens are there?  As of late Wednesday night [11/25/2020], mere moments before Thanksgiving officially hit the calendar, attorney Sidney Powell and her team released not one but two versions of her much-anticipated "Kraken" lawsuits.  She released the first in Georgia, going after Governor Brian Kemp, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, and the state election board.  This one dealt mostly with "ballot stuffing," improper handling of absentee ballots, and an unwillingness of election officials to abide by state laws regarding election integrity.  "The scheme and artifice to defraud was for the purpose of illegally and fraudulently manipulating the vote count to make certain the election of Joe Biden as President of the United States," the lawsuit alleges.

Sidney Powell sues Georgia officials, alleging massive scheme to rig election for Joe Biden.  Prominent defense attorney Sidney Powell sued Georgia's top officials late Wednesday [11/25/2020], alleging in federal court that the GOP-run state government permitted a massive voter fraud scheme that rigged the Nov. 3 election in favor of Democrat Joe Biden.  The suit was filed in U.S. District Court in Atlanta on behalf of several Georgia residents, electors and Republican Party officials and named Gov. Brian Kemp, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and state election board members as defendants.  The 104-page complaint asked the court to issue an injunction "prohibiting the Governor and Secretary of State from transmitting the currently certified results to the Electoral College based on the overwhelming evidence of election tampering."

Legal group files lawsuit challenging more than 200,000 ballots in Georgia.  A conservative legal group filed a lawsuit Wednesday [11/25/2020] arguing that more than 200,000 votes in Georgia may have been either illegally counted or improperly uncounted, a number that dwarfs the current lead Joe Biden enjoys over President Trump in the state's official tally.  The Thomas More Society's Amistad Project announced its latest battleground state litigation, claiming government data indicates that "well over 100,000 illegal votes [in Georgia] were improperly counted, while tens of thousands of legal votes were not counted."  The alleged ballot errors "undercu[t] the integrity of the general election," Amistad Project Director Phill Kline said in a press release.

Thousands in Georgia Registered at Postal, Commercial Addresses, Portraying Them as Residences, Researcher Says.  Thousands of people registered and voted in Georgia using addresses of postal facilities or businesses, while making it look like they were residential addresses, according to a former Trump campaign official whose team analyzed the states' voter data.  The addresses listed on the voter rolls included information that didn't make sense for the actual locations, but on paper made the addresses look like residential ones, according to information published by Matt Braynard, former data and strategy director for President Donald Trump's 2016 election campaign.  "Georgia:  We have identified over a thousand early/abs votes cast by individuals whose registered addresses are in fact at post offices, UPS, and FedEx locations, wilfully disguising the box numbers as 'Apt,' 'Unit,' etc.," he said in a Nov. 22 tweet.  He published a sample of 15 such address entries in a Nov. 24 tweet.  "With just a partial review of the state," he said, the team also discovered "a thousand votes cast by those registered in non-residential, purely commercial addresses also disguised with 'Apt.,' etc."

The Smartmatic Story:  From Venezuela With No Love.  Many have debated, and Rudy Giuliani only vaguely explained on Lou Dobbs' show by saying they had "different theories" of the case, why the Trump legal team separated from Sidney Powell.  Occam's Razor has a simpler explanation:  What Powell is investigating — complicated trans-national computer fraud, involving multiple countries, not just the United States, with immense implications for the democratic system worldwide — takes considerably longer to explicate and prove than the time available to question a presidential election before votes are certified and the Electoral College meets.  This was corroborated by discussions I held with two men in a position to understand a great deal of this fraud that they say originated in and still emanates to a great degree from Venezuela (with a little help from Cuban, Iranian, and Hezbollah friends, possibly others).  These men wish to remain anonymous because they fear for their safety operating in foreign territory as they frequently do.

Anomalies in Vote Counts and Their Effects on Election 2020.  In the early hours of November 4th, 2020, Democratic candidate Joe Biden received several major "vote spikes" that substantially — and decisively — improved his electoral position in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia.  Much skepticism and uncertainty surrounds these "vote spikes." Critics point to suspicious vote counting practices, extreme differences between the two major candidates' vote counts, and the timing of the vote updates, among other factors, to cast doubt on the legitimacy of some of these spikes.  While data analysis cannot on its own demonstrate fraud or systemic issues, it can point us to statistically anomalous cases that invite further scrutiny.

Just how many ballots were sent to [fictitious] addresses?  A tweet that was retweeted by Sidney Powell today caught my attention and my imagination. [Tweet] [...] Matt Braynard, according to his Twitter profile is the "Executive Director of Look Ahead America.  Former Data Chief and Strategist for Trump for President."  And a view of his tweets show the massive amount of data he is compiling for use in court.  Just seeing this makes my blood boil, as it probably does yours.  But I got to thinking a couple of things.  One, like Giuliani said at the press conference last week, do you think all these people got up in the morning and all decided to solicit absentee ballots using addresses they just made up that all happened to be actual addresses of post offices, Fed Ex, or other distribution centers?  Of course not.  What he found was that though it is illegal for people to enter their residence as a PO Box, what they did was disguise the PO Box with APT or STE or UNIT.

Election 2020 Was Rigged:  The Evidence.  Smartmatic election software was developed in Venezuela with porous security and built-in functionality allowing system administrators to override the security features it appeared to incorporate.  Among the extraordinary privileges it granted to administrators were abilities to:
  •   shave votes continuously from one candidate to another;
  •   batch ballots for later "adjudication" but which instead became a pool of votes that the administrator could simply assign to the candidate of choice;
  •   generate blank ballots.

Attorney Challenging Georgia Election Outcome Appeals Case.  The attorney whose efforts to block the certification of Georgia's 2020 election results was rejected by a federal judge has filed an appeal to the 11th Circuit Court seeking an emergency review of the lower court's decision.  Lin Wood, an attorney with President Donald Trump's reelection campaign, has escalated his efforts for an emergency request to prohibit the certification of the state's election results or the tabulation of "defective absentee ballots."  He filed a notice informing the district court that he is appealing its decision to deny his emergency motion for relief to the U.S. Court of Appeals.  He said the request was made because the "Court erred in not granting the temporary restraining order for the unconstitutional, unlawful election," according to a court filing.  He also asked the court to consider the matter as a matter of urgency because presidential electors will meet on Dec. 14.

Arizona Republican Party Head Files Lawsuit for Ballot Inspection.  The head of the Arizona Republican Party has filed a petition for early inspection of mail-in ballot envelopes and signatures, ahead of an anticipated legal challenge over the certified state results.  The court petition, filed yesterday against the 11 Arizona Democrat presidential electors, also seeks inspection of duplicate ballots with their originals in Maricopa County.  The petition was filed by Arizona Republican Party chairwoman Kelli Ward.  "A formal legal elections challenge is expected to be filed soon alleging that the process used to validate ballots returned by mail was legally insufficient," said a statement by the Arizona Republican Party.  "The critical process of verifying a signature determines whether a vote is counted."  Direct legal challenges to the statewide canvass cannot be filed until the canvass is completed and the state is certified, most likely on Nov. 30, according to the suit.

Group files emergency petition in Wisconsin after finding 150,000 potentially fraudulent ballots.  The national conservative group Amistad Project filed an emergency petition Tuesday with the Wisconsin Supreme Court challenging the state's unofficial results in the 2020 presidential election, saying it has identified over 150,000 potentially fraudulent ballots.  Results from the Nov. 3 balloting in the state show Democratic candidate Joe Biden defeated President Trump by a roughly 20,000-vote margin.  Phill Kline, director of the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society, said the number of potentially fraudulent ballots identified are "more than enough to call into question the validity of the state's reported election results."

Nevada Judge Agrees to Hear Evidence of Alleged Voter Fraud.  A judge in Nevada has agreed to a court date next month to hear from Republicans who allege widespread voter fraud.  First Judicial District Court Judge James Russell set a Dec. 3 evidentiary hearing in the case, which is being presented by President Donald Trump's campaign.  Up to 15 witnesses may be deposed in the case, the judge said on Tuesday [11/24/220].  "The complaint is kind of a very limited nature, challenging basically the machine used in Clark County," Russell said, the Nevada Independent reported.  Jesse Binnall, a Trump campaign lawyer, said the complaint is "far from the main meat of our challenge" and that evidence will come from deposed witnesses.

Judge Blocks Certification of Pennsylvania Election Results.  A Pennsylvania judge on Nov. 25 ordered state officials to not certify the results of the 2020 election until her court holds a hearing on an election contest on Nov. 27.  Commonwealth Judge Patricia McCullough ordered the state to not take any further steps to complete the certification of the presidential race, which the state announced on Nov. 24.  She also blocked the certification of all the other election results.  "To the extent that there remains any further action to perfect the certification of the results of the 2020 General Election for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States of America, respondents are preliminarily enjoined from doing so, pending an evidentiary hearing to be held on Friday," the judge wrote in her order.  "Respondents are preliminarily enjoined from certifying the remaining results of the election, pending the evidentiary hearing."

Pennsylvania Judge Blocks Further Election Certification Steps.  A Pennsylvania judge issued an order temporarily preventing the state from taking any further actions to certify the election results.  The ruling stops action until after a hearing Friday, "to the extent that there remains any further action to perfect the certification of the results of the 2020 General Election."  Secretary of the Commonwealth Kathy Boockvar certified Biden's 80,555-vote victory in Pennsylvania, which was announced in a tweet by Democrat Governor Tom Wolf yesterday [11/24/2020].

Fighting Words.  Democrat radicals know what they want and where they are going.  As a result, they are tactically and organizationally years ahead of patriotic Americans who are only beginning to realize they are in a war.  The Democrats' plan to steal the 2020 election was hatched many years ago when Democrats launched their first attacks on Voter I.D.s, and then every effort to secure the integrity of the electoral system.  Those attacks metastasized into an all-out assault on Election Day itself with early- and late-voting grace periods, and a flood of 92 million mail-in ballots, hundreds of thousands of which were delivered in the middle of the night to be counted behind the backs of Republican observers after Election Day had passed.  The result of these efforts is that Election Day no longer really exists as a day when the votes are cast and counted.  This is a fact that offers generous opportunities for the election saboteurs to do their work.  Those saboteurs' opportunities were greatly enhanced this year with the installation in battle ground states of voting machines specifically designed to calculate how many votes were required to steal an election and then to switch ballots already cast and deliver them to the chosen party.  Mail-in ballots were indispensable to the realization of this plan.

Election 2020 Was Rigged:  The Evidence.  Patrick Byrne[,] founder and former CEO of overstock.com[,] has long considered himself a libertarian tech entrepreneur.  For now finds himself more than entrepreneur, he's on a mission to save the Republic, from a deadly virus widespread machine, widespread software election fraud.  He's doing this by funding a niche group of experts and the Trump legal team has been listening[.] [...] We've been on this since August.  One side story we'll pursue one day is DHS was warned of all this in August and September.  We tried very hard to... but it was all crammed down from high levels.  [Video clip]

So far, no evidence that the recent election was honest.  [Scroll down]  Possibly an international investigative commission made up of persons of demonstrated integrity and having full subpoena powers could credibly determine whether this election was honest.  It would take time.  But one thing is certain:  The Democrats and their media shills crying "No evidence!  No evidence!" can never demonstrate that the election was honest.  Considering what evidence has been produced so far, the only rational conclusion is that the Democrats have tried mightily to steal the election.

Sometimes you don't need to be a lawyer to make a case.  The principle is this: if the election officials are to announce a winner, they have an obligation to prove that their announcement represents the facts, as best as those facts can reasonably be ascertained.  This requires that the process be open to the public.  It requires that skeptical observers from all sides be allowed to see everything that the officials do, while they are doing it.  This includes the registering of voters, the conducting of fraud-free voting procedures, verifying identities, and finally, to counting the ballots, while setting aside ballots that are suspect.  It includes not changing the rules at the last minute.  It may sound complicated, but junior-level financial auditors (I was a staff accountant) do things like this routinely.  Auditors actively look for fraud.  It the people who submit the expense reports are the same people who approve them, then something is clearly wrong, and the financial reports cannot be trusted.  If the signatures on checks do not look right, then alarms go off.  If statistical anomalies are detected, investigations are conducted.  Too much money is at stake to simply take the word of anyone without scrutiny.  This is especially true when the bookkeepers resist disclosure, or discard records.  Very few, if any, safeguards of this nature were put in place, nor were they practiced, by election officials in the disputed results of several Democrat state election boards.  There are red flags everywhere, and hundreds of sworn affidavits are in the evidence files, credibly casting doubt on the accuracy of the reported results.

Lots of Takeaways From November 2020.  I have absolutely no doubt the presidential election was stolen by cheating.  It was stolen, inter alia, in these ways:  [#1] Democrats conned Republicans, state by state, into approving election procedures that were impossible to manage or police.  States never before had undertaken massive mail-in balloting of the dimensions and quantity proposed.  Democrats knew that state elections commissions would be overrun, utterly incapable of handling the mail tsunami. [...] [#2] In too many critical states, Republican poll watchers were denied access to overseeing the goings on.  [#3] Dead people voted.  So many that they should be entitled to at least four congressional representatives and, if the Democrats had their way, to their own state.  [#4] Ballots were backdated, "cured," and "fixed" in ways that cannot be justified.  [#5] Ballots were lost and never counted. [...] [#6] Ballots were harvested, often in states that ban harvesting.  Even in states that wrongly permit ballot harvesting, many were harvested by ineligible out-of-state volunteers.

What next for Trump legal team?  The Trump campaign's top lawyers — Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, Jenna Ellis — went into the weekend on the offense.  On Thursday they held a news conference vowing to prove the existence of a far-ranging conspiracy to defeat the president.  They were pressing a case alleging unfair voting practices in Pennsylvania.  They were predicting victory.  By Sunday night, everything had changed.  A judge threw out the Pennsylvania case.  Then, amid widespread skepticism, Powell, the author of a theory that voting machines had changed millions of Trump votes into Biden votes, was booted from the team, leaving an uncertain future.

Lin Wood Drops Late-Night Bombshell.  Lin Wood and Sidney Powell have both been promising big things would be happening in Georgia very soon.  It looks like Lin Wood has dropped his first bobmshell tonight.  In a surprise, late-night tweet, Attorney Lin Wood, who's been warning Georgia Governor Brian Kemp (R) and GA Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger that he's coming after them and that he's got the goods, laid down the gauntlet.

Tight NY congressional race casts glaring light on the flaws of mail-in voting.  Just in case you thought that all of the elections aside from the Georgia runoffs were behind us, well... they're not.  The counting is still going on in some of the congressional races and one of the tightest ones is in New York's 22nd district.  There, Democratic incumbent Anthony Brindisis is locked in a recount with Republican Claudia Tenney, who previously held the seat before him.  The race gap between the two has come down to the point where Tenney is leading by 106 votes and the only ballots left to possibly be considered are the ones that were "set aside" during the initial count due to irregularities.  Tenney leads Brindisi by the thinnest of margins, but he could still come back and retain his seat if a lot of these ballots are allowed.

Milwaukee Mysteriously Finds Another 386 Unopened Ballots During Recount, Three Weeks After the Election.  Another 386 unopened ballots have mysteriously been found in Milwaukee, three weeks after the election took place. [...] The unopened ballots came from a South side ward, according to Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Mary Spicuzza.  So far, in the first four days of the recount, lawyers for the Trump campaign have challenged tens of thousands of ballots.  Joe Biden is ahead in the state by only about 20,000 votes.

Trump Campaign Focusing on Unlawful Use of Absentee Ballot Process to Avoid Wisconsin ID Requirement.  The effort by the Trump Campaign to reverse the outcome of the election in Wisconsin is beginning to gain some attention — it now has my attention.  Reversing Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin are necessary to call into question what will happen in the Electoral College on December 14.  As explained in this piece yesterday, in Georgia the focus is on invalid voter registrations which used a mail-drop or business location as a "residence" address on the voter and mail-in ballot application.  Pennsylania is a mish-mash of various claims, most of which are traceable back to partisan decisions of the state's Supreme Court, which makes them all reachable in an omnibus review by the US Supreme Court.  But the approach in Wisconsin has been a bit of a mystery to me until now.

Subpoena in Georgia Election Lawsuit Seeks Video Footage From State Farm Arena.  The plaintiff in an election lawsuit in Georgia on Monday served a subpoena on State Farm Arena seeking video footage filmed on the premises during and after Election Day.  The subpoena names the Atlanta Hawks, State Farm Arena, and Scott Wilkinson, the executive vice president and chief legal officer of both entities.  The subpoena seeks all recordings taken between midnight Nov. 3 and midnight Nov. 5.  The request specifically calls for recordings taken in and around "Room 604," all elevators that provide access to the floor where that room is located, and all loading docks in the arena.  The plaintiff in the lawsuit, attorney Lin Wood, sent a public Twitter message on Nov. 23 to the defendant, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, citing the subpoena.

By Every Legal Means Necessary.  The Democrats began a comprehensive assault on the electoral system several years ago in many states; they consecrated great resources to electing the secretaries of state who effectively administer federal elections within their states; they agitated and litigated in many states to change voting practices and to facilitate ballot harvesting through unsolicited mass mailings to the entirety of the voter rolls and the collection and delivery of ballots with increasingly dubious verification that they represent the will of the voters ostensibly casting them.  Many of these processes were challenged and proved unsuccessful.  But the movement to alter the election process decisively in favor of those who could exploit mass mailings to the whole voters' lists, which inevitably include a great many people who have died or moved, was greatly strengthened by the onset of the coronavirus pandemic.

Who really won, Biden or Trump?  [Scroll down]  Proving things is as much the bread and butter of the mathematician as it is in the legal professions, albeit with greater rigour.  What America can enjoy, if it acquires an appetite for truth, is the glorious spectacle of one Professor of Probability and Statistics after another testifying before the Supreme Justices in their expert evidence exactly what they have all, independently but unanimously, calculated the probability to be that either Trump or Biden was the real winner of the election, leaving the court only to find for one candidate or the other on the unassailable basis that his calculated probability of being the real winner was greater than a half and his rival's less than a half.  I am praying for somebody in authority to heed what I've been saying for many days now on Twitter, that nobody's guess as to which candidate is the real winner counts for anything when, by using comparatively little, well-targeted, random sampling and auditing and calculating, America could find out the objective truth of the matter.  But do Americans want to find out the truth badly enough to want the authorities to take the small effort needed to find out the truth systematically and to prove the truth in court if necessary, using scientific evidence?

AG Barr cracks down on Philly Mafia: 15 indicted on racketeering — 'Skinny Joey' starts to sweat.  Attorney General William Barr is launching a crackdown on the Philadelphia Mafia — and some expect that the City's most senior mobsters are getting ready to flip on former Boss 'Skinny Joey' Merlino, who is widely suspected of rigging the presidential election in favor of Joe Biden.  Unless, of course, Merlino flips first.  A superseding indictment was unsealed today [11/23/2020] against 15 defendants, including alleged members and associates of the South Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey-based criminal organization La Cosa Nostra (LCN), popularly known as the 'mafia' or 'mob.'  The superseding indictment charges various crimes including racketeering conspiracy, illegal gambling, loansharking, extortion, and drug trafficking.

Presidential Election Isn't Over Yet, Conservative Leaders Say.  On and after Nov. 7, a number of news outlets, including The Associated Press, declared former Vice President Joe Biden the winner of the 2020 presidential election, despite several unfinished legal inquiries into the fairness of the election in hotly contested states across the country.  In Pennsylvania, for example, Rep. Mike Kelly, R-Penn., and other GOP leaders are still pursuing a legal battle in which they question the constitutionality of the state's mail-in voting practices and last-minute election rules changes.  The mainstream media "may think they get to decide the winners of our elections, [but] the people in our country decide, once every legal vote is counted," Mary Vought, executive director of the Senate Conservatives Fund, told The Daily Signal in an email Monday.

A dozen compelling allegations of voting irregularities in 2020 election.  While many Democrats and their allies in the traditional media argue there is no evidence of systemic voting irregularities in the Nov. 3 election, a mountain of evidence has been amassed in private lawsuits alleging there was, in fact, significant and widespread voting misconduct.  The question for the courts is whether the irregularities were widespread enough to impact the outcome or erase Joe Biden's lead in at least three of the six battleground states where results are being contested.

The moment when Michigan counted 149,772 votes in 5 seconds and less than 6,000 of them were for Trump.  [Thread reader] Any party wanting democracy should be very concerned about what we've uncovered today.

Trump Needs to Shine the Light on Election Fraud.  Trump needs to have overwhelming evidence of election fraud, and he needs to bring that evidence to light in very public hearings.  Without such evidence, his claims won't be taken seriously enough — by the press or a sufficient number of the electorate — to ensure a peaceful transition to a second term.  The rush job to affirm Biden as president-elect by the media and the Democrat Party is not constitutionally required, and indeed smacks of a kind of desperation to avoid scrutiny.  Contrary to their claims, Trump's thorough investigation of potential large-scale election fraud is fully in accord with the Constitution.  As the one in whom executive power is vested, he has the constitutional obligation to "take care that the laws be faithfully executed," and that includes laws designed to ensure that voting is not fraudulent.  But even if Trump doesn't manage to uncover sufficient evidence of election fraud, we need to understand the deeper philosophical reasons why the Democrat Party operatives would use fraud to win this election.  This is important because it makes clear both why suspicion is warranted, and how deep that suspicion should be.

The media are complicit in the fraud we see today.  The Founding Fathers always worried that American democracy — which was a grand experiment — could be corrupted from the inside.  They were right to be worried.  In the past four years, we've witnessed America's enemies trying to rig democracy.  Those efforts came to fruition with the recent election.  There are innumerable signs showing this rigging.  Some of the most common signs come from the media, which ignore blatant evidence that justifies indicting, arresting, or, at minimum, questioning Democrat elected officials.  The media's been doing this all year, especially with regarding to Biden. [...] The media choosing sides breeds corruption.  The media, with help from the tech giants, has also hidden past election fraud.  For example, famed attorney Lin Wood says that the voter fraud scheme in 2020 got trial runs in 2016 and 2018.  However, Google and YouTube make it almost impossible to find links to information about either fraud or Lin Wood's statement.  These entities are setting and driving the narrative.

It's in the Code:  Hanky-Panky in Virginia's Votes.  Based on Internet blogger "Pede's" analysis of "votes switched" from Trump to Biden, and of "votes lost" (thrown away) — mostly votes for Trump, and my own analyses to detect imaginary "votes added" for Biden, I have decided to continue examining states where everylegalvote.com says ballot fraud occurred in the 2020 presidential election.  "Pede" identified two states — Virginia and Minnesota — where there were hundreds of thousands of "votes lost," a sure indicator of fraud, even though those states' votes are not being recounted, nor are there legal challenges. [...] But this fraudulent maneuver had two problems.  First, it was hard to believe, a sudden vote swing of 4.5% in just 8 minutes; and second, those half-million fake Biden votes might show more "votes" cast than there were registered voters to cast them, making the fraud immediately obvious.  So the crooks had to lower the overall vote total to bring it more into line with the 2016 and prior presidential elections.

Interesting New Lawsuit Filed in Pennsylvania State Court by Pennsylvania GOP Challenging Legality of Vote-by-Mail.  Yesterday several Pennsylvania Republican Party officials and individual Republican voters filed a lawsuit in state court seeking to obtain declaratory and injunctive relief based on a claim that the legislation which adopted "no excuse" eligibility for absentee voting was an illegitimate amendment of the Pennsylvania State Constitution.  The Plaintiffs are Mike Kelly, a GOP member of the U.S. House of Representatives from the extreme northwest corner of Pennsylvania; Sean Parnell, a GOP politician who lost his race for the US House in a suburban Pittsburg District; Wanda Logan, a GOP politician who lost her race for Pennsylvania State House in Philadelphia County; and five other individual voters from various Pennsylvania counties.  The defendants are the State of Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania General Assembly, Tom Wolfe, the Governor of Pennsylvania, and Katherine Boockvar, the Secretary of the Commonwealth.

Something Rotten in Pennsylvania.  An October 29 story in the Philadelphia Inquirer reported that election officials in several Pennsylvania counties were debating how to alert voters that their mail-in ballot might not meet state requirements.  "Officials across Pennsylvania are trying to help voters fix mail ballots that would otherwise be disqualified because of technical mistakes in completing them, creating a patchwork of policies around how — or even whether — people are notified and given a chance to make their votes count," reporter Jonathan Lai explained.  Some jurisdictions were contacting voters directly; one county, according to the paper, sent the "flawed" ballots back to the voters.  But there was a much bigger story behind Lai's article:  Election officials clearly violated the law by inspecting mail-in ballots before November 3.  According to Pennsylvania's election rules, county election boards were required to "safely keep the ballots in sealed or locked containers" until pre-canvassing legally began at 7 a.m. on Election Day.  Not only were an unknown number of mail-in ballots mishandled by election workers days before the official start date, election observers were not present at the premature inspections.

There's a case for Sidney Powell's circumstantial evidence.  [Scroll down]  So, we saw with our own two eyes the massive enthusiasm for Trump during campaign after campaign with tens of thousands showing up at each of his stops at airports across the country.  Trump during the last several days doing four and five stops a day as he crisscrossed America.  And we contrasted that with Ol' Joe and the six or eight, or, at his few block-buster rallies, a few hundred who would show up.  And then on the night of the election.  Trump ahead hundreds of thousands of votes and then the vote counting suddenly shut down in all the key swing states until, in the early morning hours, under cover of darkness tens and hundreds thousands of votes were found, most, and in some instances all, only cast for Biden.  And then we have the experts such as Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai who have explained the statistical anomalies affirming what we know — the impossibility of that having happened in fact and in truth.  Yes, there is only one reasonable explanation from the evidence.  The "election" of Joe Biden was "won" by fraud.  It doesn't matter how many cute or cleaver media pontificates tell us otherwise or that there is no "evidence" to prove it.  We know by substantial evidence who won this election and who won it by a landslide.

Lou Dobbs on CNN in 2006: Smartmatic Based in Venezuela Sold to Sequoia, Top Officials Still in Venezuela, Before Sale to Dominion.  Here's a blast from the past!  Back in 2006 when the great Lou Dobbs was at CNN the former news channel ran a segment on Smartmatic voting machines.  According to this CNN report, Smartmatic was based in Hugo Chavez's Venezuela and was sold to Sequoia.  But the top officials for Smartmatic were still in Venezuela.  CNN was worried this could interfere with our democracy.  Amazing!  [Video clip]

Shouldn't the rules of the election be finalized BEFORE NOVEMBER?
Pennsylvania Supreme Court Rules Mail-In/Absentee Ballots with No Dates or Handwritten Name/Address Can be Counted.  The Pennsylvania State Supreme Court has once again shown its contempt for a free and fair election.  The PA Supreme Court on Monday [11/23/2020] ruled that mail-in/ballots with no dates or handwritten names/addresses on the outer envelopes can be counted.  The Trump campaign challenged the decision of the Philadelphia County Board of Elections to count 8,320 mail-in/absentee ballots arguing the voters failed to handwrite their name, address or the date (in some cases a combination of all three) on the outer envelope.  Trump's legal team argued that the General Assembly set forth in the Election Code the requirements for how a qualified elector can cast a mail-in or absentee ballot.

'One kind of fraud': Biden won thousands of illegal votes by noncitizens, study shows.  A new study estimates that presumptive President-elect Joseph R. Biden benefited from thousands of illegal votes by noncitizens, providing President Trump's backers with another potential argument for a fraud-tainted election.  The study comes from the nonprofit research institute Just Facts, and its president, James D. Agresti, who looked at election returns from seven battleground states:  Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.  He compared U.S. Census numbers on noncitizens (a total of 21.7 million) with each battleground state's demographics and election results.  He then applied previous election polling of noncitizens.

Trump scores two wins as Michigan legislature, federal appeals court agree to election reviews.  President Trump's campaign said it scored two victories Monday in its effort to contest results in several key battleground states, as Michigan state legislators agreed to hold a hearing into election irregularities while a federal appeals court expedited proceedings to consider Trump's legal challenge in Pennsylvania.  The developments were announced by Trump campaign senior legal counsel Jenna Ellis, who said the GOP-led Michigan House would hold its hearing at 9 a.m. on Wednesday.  "We are grateful to Michigan House lawmakers for not rushing to certify inaccurate election results," Ellis told Just the News.  "We are confident they will share the same concerns once they see the extent of the outright fraud and disregard for the law that happened in Michigan and across the nation.  Every American should want to know the truth."

These Three States Can Stop the Steal.  It could hardly be more obvious that the Democrats approached the 2020 election willing to do anything, from illegally altering state election laws to committing brazen ballot fraud, in the cause of defeating President Trump.  It's equally clear that the "news" media are abetting this travesty by studiously ignoring credible evidence while anointing Joe Biden "President-elect."  This corrupt contingency is precisely why the framers created the Electoral College.  No one becomes "President-elect" until the members of that body meet in their respective states to cast their ballots.  Who selects the Electors?  The Constitution unambiguously reserves the power and the method by which these appointees are chosen to state legislatures in Article II, Section I:  ["]Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress.["]  Note that this clause omits any mention of officials not belonging to the legislatures.  Nor does it mention courts.  Moreover, the electors aren't required to cast their ballots according to the outcome of the popular vote.

The Trump Campaign Has a Very Real Chance to Overturn the Election Result in Georgia.  For anything to have even a remote chance of changing when it comes to the outcome of the Electoral College, the current status of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Georgia must change. [...] But in Georgia, the approach seems to be a normal election contest that will take place in Georgia state court, and the evidence may be coming into focus that gives the Campaign a legitimate chance to reverse the outcome.  The margin of Biden's win in Georgia is only 12,500 votes, and the Trump campaign has requested a machine recount which they are entitled to under Georgia law given the narrow margin.

What's Going on With Sidney Powell & the Allegations About Hammer & Scorecard.  [Scroll down]  The fact is, there are a lot of easier ways to commit voter fraud if that's what someone's determined to do. [...] There were, for example, an extraordinarily high number of ballots cast just for Biden containing no vote for any downstream candidates. [...] A number of the cities that turned in such a high percentage of Biden-only ballots also just so happened to see "outrageous levels of voter turnout." Most of them are forced to claim that basement-dweller Joe Biden somehow managed to get more votes than both Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama. [...] Of course, we witnessed the perennial post-Halloween spectacle of voters rising from the grave to cast ballots for the Democrat candidate.  In the crucial state of Pennsylvania, the number of registered voters over 90 or too old to even have a known birthday has remained pretty constant for over a decade.  Yet somehow, in the middle of this alleged pandemic, almost 4 times more people of such very advanced age registered to vote than in 2016.

Dominion Is A Distraction; Mail-Ballots Is Where The Focus Needs To Be.  [Scroll down]  Let's be clear:  Joe Biden did not do well as universally as Trump did.  Anyone else that says so, is either incompetent or a fool.  There's really no middle ground.  In every swing state that I analyzed, I could count the counties in which Trump underperformed either 2012 or 2016 Republican performance on two hands.  On the other hand, Biden underperformed in the vast majority of counties.  This media-driven-narrative that says that Biden's win was a national mandate flat-out ignores the statistical data.  If the Biden win was indeed on the up-and-up (and I don't believe it was), you'd have to say that racist-and-sexist-white-liberals didn't show up to vote for Obama or Clinton, but decided that 2020 was the year to show up to defeat Trump.  Even if you give them a 10 or 15 point advantage in that segment, Trump would still have won the Presidency.  We aren't just talking about that, huge yet statistically possible jump.  We are talking about 40 point jumps over Obama's 2012 performance, well above any statistically likely outcome.

Making sense of the news about Sidney Powell.  [Scroll down]  The Washington Examiner added the claim that "sources close to the president" say Powell lacks evidence, which explains the distancing.  Ask yourself if any "sources close to" Trump has ever been correct.  They're invariably NeverTrumps.  It's possible that this time the source could be correct, but I caution patience. [...] Nobody ever said proving this fraud would be easy (or, sadly, even possible).  I'm treating its unfolding like an epic novel with a surprise ending.  I just wish I knew whether it was going to be a happy or a tragic ending.

Georgia Updates Voting Rules Before Jan. 5 Senate Runoff Races.  The Georgia State Election Board approved two emergency rules about absentee voting: continued use of drop boxes and the requirement for counties to process absentee ballots starting one week before the upcoming election.  The moves were made ahead of the Senate runoff races between Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) and Raphael Warnock, as well as Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.) and Jon Ossoff in early January.  "The number of absentee ballot requests that we're seeing for the runoff is large as well, so if we want results at any time quickly, I think we're going to need to do this," general counsel Ryan Germany said, according to GPB. "The last week before the election, it becomes mandatory to do processing and scanning."

Pollster Richard Baris Calls Out Big Tech, Says Media 'Lying' about Voter Fraud.  Big Data Poll Director Richard Baris slammed both Big Tech and the liberal media after being silenced by Twitter for speaking out about voter fraud in the 2020 election.  Baris was blocked from his Twitter account earlier this month for sharing research pointing to the possibility of voter fraud.  He said his wife Laura and his polling firm were also blocked from their respective accounts as well.  Baris's account has since been restored.  In a new interview with MRC Business, Baris warned about the interference of Big Tech and the liberal media into the 2020 election by hoodwinking the American people into believing that there's no evidence of voter and election fraud.  His main message to the press trying to black out the issue:  "Media should stop lying to the American people about the reality of both voter and election fraud.  There are examples of both in every election."

House Democrat Seeks Disbarment of Giuliani and 22 Trump Election Lawyers.  New Jersey Democrat Congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr. filed bar complaints against lead Trump campaign elections attorney Rudy Giuliani and twenty-two other Trump campaign lawyers in several states where President Trump is contesting the results of the November 3 presidential election.  Pascrell is calling for the disbarment of the attorneys for filing cases on behalf of Trump to "overturn the election and demolish democracy" in Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, New York and Pennsylvania.  The other attorneys targeted in addition to Giuliani are local attorneys in the respective states.  Giuliani is a former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York and former two-term mayor of New York City.

Appeals Court Grants Expedited Review of Trump Campaign's Pennsylvania Lawsuit.  President Donald Trump's campaign on Monday secured a legal win after the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals granted an expedited review of their appeal from a Pennsylvania court, according to Trump campaign lawyer Jenna Ellis.  According to the order, Trump's "motion for emergency expedited review is granted at the direction of the court."  Their brief now needs to be filed by 4 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 23.  "The court will advise if oral argument desired," it said.  Pennsylvania's 67 counties are scheduled to certify their election results by the end of Monday before sending them to state election officials.

Trump Campaign Appeals Dismissal of Pennsylvania Lawsuit.  President Donald Trump's campaign on Nov. 22 appealed the dismissal of its election lawsuit in Pennsylvania, according to a notice filed in federal court, bringing the campaign one step closer to its stated goal of getting an election challenge to the Supreme Court.  District Court Judge Matthew Brann dismissed the campaign's lawsuit on Nov. 21, saying the plaintiffs lacked standing to bring the claim, among other issues.  The campaign said it has appealed the ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit.  Rudy Giuliani, the lead attorney representing Trump's post-election legal effort, said on Nov. 21 that Brann's dismissal would help expedite the lawsuit's progression to the Supreme Court.

The link Between Dominion, Sequoia, Smartmatic, and the CCP.  [Scroll down]  While Biden's team was celebrating, evidence of ballot fraud was emerging.  The Dominion Voting Systems (DVS) ballot-counting system used in 28 states during the election contained Chinese-made hardware components as well as the Smartmatic ballot software.  Voter data was illegally transmitted to foreign countries and this led to the seizure of a server by the U.S. military at the offices of Scytl in Frankfurt, Germany. [...] The use of high-tech voting systems to process voting results in the U.S. is not new.  The DVS machines use software from Smartmatic which describes itself as the global leader in secure, accessible, transparent election technology.  Once one of the top-ranked voting systems in the U.S., Smartmatic has a complex background and continues to generate controversy.  In the 2020 U.S. election it has been exposed as a real threat to U.S. national security.

Bombshell: Biden takes min 98% of a 23,487 vote batch at 12:18AM in GA.  William Stringer, using the handle Endeez, thinks he found a bombshell with Biden taking a minimum of 98% of a 23,487 vote batch at 12:18 am.  The author of the clip asks people to watch the first minute.  He believes he has found fraud.  Biden's lead in Georgia is only 12,781 votes.  "This analysis is based on official timestamped election night data from Edison Research which was obtained from the NYT website," Endeez writes. [...] This batch of 23,487 votes went, at an absolute minimum accounting for all decimal places, 97.9779% for Biden.  This batch was uploaded at 12:18 AM EST on Nov 4 (election results began the evening of Nov 3).  This is not a case of updating one candidate at a time; we can see from looking at the surrounding batches that Trump did not receive any corresponding entries.

Election Fraud Problems Are A Threat To Our Country — And Too Important To Be Left To Conspiracy Theorists.  Election fraud is not just a real issue, it is a deadly serious one to the future of our country.  Original reporting at The Federalist and a number of other outlets has unearthed sprawling voter distrust born of first-hand experience with fraud after fraud after fraud in major Democratic machine cities.  It isn't simply the dead voting, the living's votes counting for candidates they did not vote for, and voters who didn't even cast ballots counting for candidates they did not vote for — it's difficult-to-impossible to unscramble mail-in ballots coming in after legal deadlines and counting anyway; it's a systemic barring of supervision and oversight; it's judges re-writing legal voting laws in the name of mass COVID-19 hysteria.  These problems are real and deserve real and deeply careful attention.

Trump Team Disowns Powell.  [Scroll down]  This is unfortunate for several reasons, not least because there was indeed widespread fraud in this year's election, enabled by lax mail-in voting procedures, ballot harvesting, and urban precincts dominated by Democrats where fraud has long been common.  The same lax procedures that enable voter fraud in the first place also make it difficult to prove after the fact, and it seems highly probably that the Trump campaign will not be able to itemize enough fraudulent Biden ballots in the key states to overturn the apparent result of the election.  But if Powell's sensational claims turn out to be groundless, as currently appears to be the case, the Democratic Party press will leap to the desired non sequitur, that there was never any voter fraud at all.  Which will make it easy to keep this year's porous system in place for 2024.

Michael Flynn Jr.  Releases More Information on Trump Team's Sidney Powell Statement — And It's NOT What You Think.  As we suspected, the news this evening about Sidney Powell not being on the Trump team is an act to protect Sidney and the Trump team and not a message of disappointment in her latest interviews and actions at all.  The Trump campaign issued a statement Sunday night announcing Sidney Powell is not a member of President Trump's legal team.  The statement was posted online by campaign attorney Jenna Ellis on behalf of lead campaign attorney Rudy Giuliani.  Powell had appeared at a campaign legal team press conference earlier this week alongside Giuliani and Ellis.

Trump Campaign Disowns Sidney Powell in Wild Statement.  This is why you don't swallow conspiracy theories whole-cloth without waiting for evidence to be presented.  Amazingly, it appears that Trump's own campaign is now disowning Sidney Powell's fairly out there claims about German servers and millions of switched votes.  And I don't say that as someone who wouldn't want to believe it if there was proof, but there was obviously no proof and plenty to the contrary.

Trump Legal Team Distances from Sidney Powell.  President Donald Trump's legal team distanced themselves from attorney Sidney Powell on Sunday evening, noting that she did not represent the president, either as part of the team or in his personal capacity.  In a statement attributed to Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, and Trump legal adviser Jenna Ellis, the team said:  "Sidney Powell is practicing law on her own.  She is not a member of the Trump Legal Team.  She is also not a lawyer for the President in his personal capacity."

Do Trump-Supporters Live in an Alternate Universe?  [Scroll down]  There is massive evidence of election fraud of every type, including programmed computer cheating, dead people voting, and massive dumps of Biden votes in the middle of the night.  There is also extremely strong statistical evidence of vote total manipulation. [...] The media do not determine who is president.  The next president will be determined when he has enough certified and unchallenged votes.  We are nowhere near that point.

A Circuit Breaker on Election Night?  At the risk of lending credence to that archaic and thoroughly discredited barometer of public opinion known as polling, a new survey shows that not only nearly half of Americans think the election was stolen from Trump, but nearly 30 percent of Democrat voters think the election was stolen from Trump. [...] The reason why so many voters, and even Democrat voters, might believe that this election was stolen is really quite simple.  It's that, much to the media's chagrin, we Americans still have eyes to see the obvious signs of election fraud that exist.  Election night in 2020 was different from anything that I, or anyone else, has ever seen, and there are numerous indicators suggesting that the election was stolen from Trump.  The media's continued pretending that there aren't can only serve to fuel the public's skepticism about the results and our apprehension about the integrity of future elections.

Why Industrial Scale Fraud Is Just So Hard To Hide.  Way too many are caught in a media-induced despondency, knowing the presidential election was stolen, in the dark of night, vote counting suddenly stopped, vote counts on the television switched from Trump to Biden — yet each thinks he or she is the only one who saw it. [...] In the end, which is not far out, it all comes apart.  It always does.  Industrial scale fraud is not sustainable because lies that big just cannot be hidden.

Be on the watch for the two fisted slam that happens in GA courts tomorrow.  [Thread reader]  [The] Dominion cannon is loaded & will blow up in Judge Brann's court, as well as the newest findings of thousands early & absentee votes cast by voters whose registered addresses are actually POB's disguised[.]  What do I mean[?]  Thousands of ballots listed as PO Boxes but they insert a "Suite" "Apt," "Unit," to give the appearance of a physical address as required by law.  Also rental boxes at UPS, & FedEx locations, and even private mailbox stores disguising the box numbers same way[.]  This is the reason the Governor has reversed his prior position and is calling for an audit.  There are records to be introduced into court record showing mass block rentals of PO Boxes and Private commercial Boxes.

Unusual Pattern and Ratio Within Philadelphia Ballot Data Indicates Dominion Software Manipulation of Vote.  An interesting review of Philadelphia ballot uploading results indicates a pattern of manipulated results according to an independent researcher looking at raw data.  The results are discussed within a video upload explaining how the data-sets were organized and manipulated in a series of timed events.

Dinesh D'Souza Asks Some Simple, Albeit Brutally Obvious, Questions.  Dinesh D'Souza cuts through some of the chaff and countermeasures deployed by Tucker Carlson and asks a transparently obvious question:  Are U.S. ballot counting machines capable of being manipulated?  That baseline question is not dependent on any answer within a court or Trump campaign team filing.  That question is simply a matter of investigative journalism finding out, but they are disinterested.  If the U.S. uses election machinery that is capable of being manipulated, that alone should initiate a serious line of inquiry about why such a function would even be present.  Why would any ballot counting machine even need to have a feature to shift votes or change outcomes?  [Video clip]

Trump Team Files for Fresh Recount in Georgia's Presidential Race.  President Donald Trump's campaign on Saturday announced a request for a recount of votes in the Georgia presidential race, just 24-hours after local officials certified the election results showing Joe Biden with a lead in the Peach State.  Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) and Gov. Brian Kemp (R) certified Georgia's election results on Friday, which found former Vice President Joe Biden ahead of Trump by 12,670 votes, or 0.26 percent, out of five million, following a week-long hand recount of all votes.

Jordan Sekulow on New Election Lawsuits:  "What's Coming in Georgia Will Be Shocking".  Jordan Sekulow appears with Tom Basile on NewsMax to discuss the current status of several election lawsuits.  Within the interview Sekulow notes that despite the election certification, a new lawsuit will be filed on Monday [11/23/2020] in Georgia that "will be stunning".  The ACLJ lawyer states the lawsuit and attached evidence in the state of Georgia is unrelated to any currently known information, evidence or preceding lawsuits.  The framework is entirely new.  "Put-up or shut-up will be rolled out this week[.]"

The Greatest Electoral Heist in American History.  The pieces are finally coming together, and they reveal a masterpiece of electoral larceny involving Big Tech oligarchs, activists, and government officials who prioritize partisanship over patriotism.  The 2020 election was stolen because leftists were able to exploit the coronavirus pandemic to weaken, alter, and eliminate laws that were put in place over the course of decades to preserve the integrity of the ballot box.  But just as importantly, it was stolen because those same leftists had a thoroughly-crafted plan, and because they were rigorous in its implementation and ruthless in its execution.

Computer Geek Uncovers Smoking Gun Evidence Of Dominion Voter Software Switching Votes From Trump To Biden.  Citizen and computer wiz, Edward Solomon, seems to believe he found the smoking gun evidence showing Dominion switching votes from Trump to Biden.  Solomon writes:  ["]In this video you will see data from the NYT feed from PA on November 4th.  In this data, particular vote ratios are transferred between random sets of seized precincts throughout the day[.]  A total of nine exhibits are presented in this video, but there are in fact several hundred of these precincts seizures and ratio transfers on the day of November 4th alone, and the same ratios continue to be transferred for several more days within the overall data set spanning an entire week.["]  [Video clip]

Sidney Powell Just Confirmed The US Military Has The Dominion Servers From Germany, Gov Now Investigating.  Sidney Powell just confirmed on Glenn Beck's Show that the server recovered in Germany was in fact seized by the U.S. Military.  She also hinted the US Government is now investigating the servers and that at least 4 adversarial countries had lined into those servers.  [Video clip]

Largest Number of Cluster Votes In Wayne Co.  MI Came From Psychiatric Hospital For Patients With Severe Mental Illnesses.  Yesterday [11/21/2020], data scientist Sarah Eaglesfield tweeted about some interesting facts she uncovered while looking into Wayne County, Michigan's voter data from the November 2020 election.  According to 100Percent Fed Up, her data, so far, explores cluster votes in Michigan's Wayne County, where hundreds of affidavits have been filed sharing eye-witness accounts of voter fraud and intimidation by paid election workers and officials and Democrat activists present at the TCF Center, where absentee ballots were processed.

Voting Machine Found Dumped On The Side Of The Road In Georgia.  [Someone made an] unusual find Thursday in Garden City off Dean Forest Road.  A man outside the Blueberry Hill Bar and Grill discovered what appears to be some type of voting equipment.  It was found off the road in a grassy area.  WTOC has contacted the Georgia Secretary of State's Office.  They are looking into the situation.  They say it appears to be older voting equipment — not equipment used this year during the elections.  [Video clip]

Why a Federal Judge Tossed Out One of the Trump Campaign's PA Lawsuits.  U.S. District Judge Matthew Brann on Saturday dismissed one of the Trump campaign's lawsuits in Pennsylvania.  In the lawsuit the Trump Team accused Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar and election officials in a number of counties of creating a "two-tiered" voting system for the 2020 presidential election.  The campaign believed voters were held to different standards depending on if they decided to vote in-person or by mail.

Trump vows to appeal judge's dismissal of Pennsylvania election challenge.  President Trump in a late-night tweet lashed out a federal judge in Pennsylvania who dismissed a lawsuit brought by his campaign asking that the vote certification process in the key battleground state be halted.  "It's all a continuation of the never ending Witch Hunt," Trump tweeted.  "Judge Brann, who would not even allow us to present our case or evidence, is a product of Senator Pat 'No Tariffs' Toomey of Pennsylvania, no friend of mine, & Obama - No wonder."

Trump Lawyer Says New Lawsuits Will Be Filed in Georgia Soon: 'Quite a Shock'.  President Donald Trump lawyer Jordan Sekulow said an election challenge that will be filed this week contains new allegations about irregularities.  "We have got lawsuits likely to be filed in Georgia on either Monday or Tuesday; I can't get into the details," he said to Newsmax, without providing any examples.  "I can't tell you right now, but what's coming in Georgia will be shocking, when we file this in federal court Monday or Tuesday," he added.  "It's nothing that we have talked [about] before.  It's not what you heard in the press conference [on Thursday] either.  Sekulow, the son of Trump personal attorney and impeachment defender Jay Sekulow, said it is "something completely separate" from the allegations contained in the press conference held by lawyers Sidney Powell, Jenna Ellis, and Rudy Giuliani.

"KRAKEN" is a CIA Hacking Program.  Kraken is a Department of Defense cyber warfare program that tracks and hacks other systems to acquire evidence of nefarious actions of other nations & enemies.

The Fight Ahead.  I'm more than willing to be astonished two weeks from now when Sidney Powell produces irrefutable proof in a court of law that a cabal of international leftists cyber-switched millions of votes from Trump to Biden.  But no, I'm not expecting that to happen.  It could happen.  Of course, it could.  I certainly think the Trump team has the right to try it if they think they've got the goods.  I don't think they're obligated to show the evidence before that to the public or Tucker Carlson or anyone else.  And I'm not at all swayed by the nonsense claims of the media that this was, for the first time in all of human history, an election without even a smidgeon of fraud. [...] Our news media is trash.  Their words are worth nothing.  Finally, I yawn extremely at complaints from the Left that Trump is putting our democracy at risk by making his legal play.  Legal plays are part of our democracy.

We Must Rely Upon State Legislators In Vote-Contested States To Choose Presidential Electors.  Since November 3rd, each new day has uncovered ever more disturbing revelations of voter irregularities, improbable election processes, questionable official actions and statistical impossibilities all curiously confined to the six largest Democrat-controlled cities in the 5 most closely contested states.  Legal challenges are awash in affidavits and sworn testimony from election officials, poll watchers and postal employees attesting to aberrant, even criminal, mishandling of voting practices and procedures. [...] Rasmussen recently tweeted the improbability of this election's curious voting patterns when he reported that Biden significantly underperformed 2016 Hillary in every major metro area across the nation except Milwaukee, Detroit, Atlanta and Philadelphia.  In these big swing state cities — all run by Democrats — the total vote exceeded the number of registered voters.  That's some fancy vote counting.

Remember When Media Outlets Were Concerned About Vote Fraud?  [In the Pennsylvania State] Capitol Friday [11/20/2020] there was scheduled by the Republican-controlled State Government Committee of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives a hearing as part of the committee's investigation into the election.  The scheduled witnesses were representatives of Dominion.  And lo and behold on Thursday night, the literal night before the hearing, State Representative Seth Grove, the Committee chairman, was notified that, in his words, Dominion had "lawyered up" and backed out of the hearing. [...] As this is written, this news is nowhere to be found in The Washington Post.  It is nowhere to be found in The New York Times.  Maybe it will at some point.  Maybe. [...] The Trump legal team has been making allegations about the lack of security surrounding voting system companies.  And the media is frantically trying to debunk them when not ignoring them altogether, now saying that to contest the results produced by these companies is nothing less than trying to subvert the election.

Just a reminder:  Obama won his very first election by charging his opponents with election fraud.  Yes, Obama won his first seat in politics by disqualifying his opponents, and not just any opponents.  Among his targets was Alice Palmer, not only one of his mentors but one of the people who had encouraged him to run for her seat when she ran in a primary for a Congressional seat that had opened up.  She lost that primary and hoped Obama would step aside for her to return.  Instead, he got her kicked off the ballot.

From Ruling Class to Oligarchy.  [Scroll down]  And then Election Night.  As predicted, election officials in places controlled by the Left stopped counting until it was clear how many ballots it would take for Trump to be defeated.  The requisite number came, filled out by no one knows who.  And then... who wouldn't have predicted it?  The call came from all of society's commanding heights:  Trump's defeat had been declared.  By whom?  By the folks on these varied heights — certainly not by the authorities designated by the Constitution to decide who wins and loses.  But the more instances of fraud the Trump campaign sought to investigate, the louder and from more sources sounded the judgment that there was nothing to investigate.  It had been decided.  You peons shut up and obey.  That is how oligarchies work.

'Without merit': Judge dismisses Trump campaign lawsuit in Pennsylvania.  The Trump campaign's lawsuit seeking to block the certification of Pennsylvania's election was dismissed with prejudice by a federal court judge on Saturday [11/21/2020].  U.S. Middle District of Pennsylvania Judge Matthew Brann made the decision after days of motions filed on both sides and after hearing oral arguments on Tuesday from President Trump's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, who took over the case last week.  In a scathing critique of the legal basis for the case, Brann wrote that Trump's lawyers "ask this Court to disenfranchise almost seven million voters" but "this Court has been unable to find any case in which a plaintiff has sought such a drastic remedy in the contest of an election, in terms of the sheer volume of votes asked to be invalidated."

GOP Woman Who Wants Certification Of Wayne County Votes Rescinded Says MI Man Published Her Home Address Online.  Monica Palmer, one of the two GOP members of the Wayne County Board Of Canvassers, said that her home address was published online after she first voted against certifying the vote total in Wayne County.  Palmer appeared on Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle" on Thursday night alongside her fellow Republican board member William Hartman.  Palmer told host Laura Ingraham that a Michigan businessman, Ned Staebler, published Palmer's home address online and encouraged people to harass her at her house because of her vote.

Federal judge nixes Trump campaign lawsuit in Pennsylvania.  A federal judge on Saturday nixed a lawsuit brought by President Trump's campaign that sought to throw out millions of mail-in votes in Pennsylvania.  Judge Matthew Brann handed down the ruling, describing the suit as marred by "strained legal arguments without merit and speculative accusations ... unsupported by evidence."  The Trump campaign, led by the president's personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, had challenged Pennsylvania's results by claiming election officials in heavily Democratic counties illegally allowed voters to fix mail-in ballots that had problems, such as missing "secrecy envelopes."  Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar and the seven counties that the campaign sued countered that Trump had previously raised similar claims and lost — and that the proposed tossing of millions of votes over isolated issues was a fix that is far too extreme.

FEC Commission Chair:  Trump Campaign Has Legitimate Claims of Election Fraud.  While some in mainstream media have attacked the Trump campaign and Americans raising questions about voter fraud and/or irregularities in the election, the Federal Election Commission Chair Trey Trainor said that the Trump campaign is bringing "legitimate accusations" to court in the form of affidavits of credible witnesses and other evidence in their challenges in various states.

Georgia's 'pristine' batch of ballots needs to be a bigger story than it is.  There was a lot of buzz surrounding a lawsuit filed yesterday by Lin Wood.  He isn't working directly with the Trump team but is in constant contact with them and is likely coordinating his team's efforts with theirs.  When we first reported it, we noticed one bombshell that must not be ignored.  According to Wood, local election officials were told by state administrators to ignore the recount numbers and to only report the original vote tallies from election night.  But within the filing was another bombshell and we totally missed it.  A sworn affidavit by a highly experienced poll worker claims that batches of "pristine" ballots were brought in to be counted.  These ballots were allegedly mailed in, but none of them have creases or folds that would indicate they were placed in ballot envelopes.  It's a rare piece of physical evidence that needs to be found and cataloged immediately.

Sidney Powell Discusses Status of Election Investigation With Glenn Beck — Dominion and Smartmatic.  Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell has a very interesting interview with BlazeTV Glenn Beck to discuss ongoing "election rigging" involving companies involved in ballot counting (software) as well as foreign actors engaged in data gathering.  Powell states she is hopeful to begin sharing documents as early as this weekend, but the scope of the investigation is taking time to complete.  [Video clip]

Sidney Powell Claims That Dominion Is 'Shredding Documents'.  Sidney Powell joined Larry O'Connor for an exclusive interview about her legal case on behalf of the Trump campaign in the 2020 presidential election.  In her much talked about press conference with Rudy Giuliani on Thursday, she claimed that President Trump won re-election in a landslide, and they were going to prove it.  O'Connor pushed her about her claims that computer software used in the election, particularly Dominion Voting Systems, has been tainted, and he wondered how she would prove it.  For starters, Powell said that her legal team has pictures of votes being manipulated in real-time.  "It is terrifying, and it is a huge national security issue," Powell said.  "Why the Department of Justice and FBI have not done something, Dominion is closing its offices and moving.  No doubt they're shredding documents.  God only knows what else.  More than 100 Dominion people have wiped any connection with Dominion off the internet."

Levin: 'The Quantity of Fraud Is Not the Test'.  Conservative radio host Mark Levin criticized media coverage of election fraud lawsuits being brought by the Trump campaign on "The Mark Levin Show" Thursday [11/19/2020].  "There's a lot of confusion here," Levin said, noting that the media have changed their narrative from "there's no fraud" to "there's not enough fraud to matter."  Levin attacks the latter point, saying "the quantity of fraud is not the test."  "You have sworn affidavits by American citizens, also election officials, under penalty of perjury.  You didn't have that in the Russia hoax case.  You didn't have that in the Stacey Abrams case in Georgia; you've got it up the wazoo here!  So the quantity of the affidavits and the seriousness of the affidavits is unparalleled in American history, in American history!  The fact of fraud can raise serious, even grave concerns of voter disenfranchisement.  That's enough!"  [Video clip]

Not Suspicious At All:  Dominion Voting Systems Execs Fail to Appear for Testimony; Office Shuttered, Websites and Social Media Erased.  Why, no, this doesn't set off any alarm bells.  Unless you're a Democrat praying that the record-breaking election fraud we saw on November 3rd, and 4th, and 5th, and 6th, and 7th... isn't uncovered.

Texas County Goes Blue for the First Time since 1964 After Hiring Former Executive with Smartmatic as Elections Administrator.  This year Tarrant County turned blue for the first time since the 1960s.  Heider Garcia is the Tarrant County Elections Administrator.  He was hired in 2018.  He previously worked for Smartmatic for 12 years.  He received his engineering degree in Venezuela in 2003.  In 2010, He testified during a fraud investigation into the Smartmatic software in the Philippines election.  In the video released during hearings in the Philippines in 2010 Heider Garcia of Smartmatic was questioned on what he called "unforeseen" occurrences during the election process.  [Video clip]  Last year in 2019, Tarrant county received new election machines.  In October, during early voting, Tarrant County had to rescan thousands of ballots due to some type of barcode discrepancy.  And on November 3rd Tarrant County went blue for the first time since 1964.

Dominion's Smartmatic:  Chávez-built cornerstone of Trump's fight in court.  Evidence points to tampering using hackable software created in Venezuela and used in 2020's election.  Revelations about Dominion, Smartmatic read like a thriller.  Trump's legal eagles continue to unveil a software rife to steal votes from 72 million Americans who voted for Trump.  It's an apocalypse of our national heritage, an assault on free elections.  The script being pieced together, forming a plot so complex, it would challenge the best of screenwriters.  Sidney Powell, Rudy Giuliani, and Jena Ellis, Trump's senior legal advisor, offered rare discovery transparency in a Thursday press conference.  They spent well over an hour giving an overview of the Trump campaign's legal challenges.  Giuliani held up sworn affidavits.  He read an affidavit (with permission) of a witness to highly-illegal activities.

Georgia SoS Backtracks on Announcement the State Has Certified Election.  It appears someone in the Georgia secretary of state's office got a bit over their skis, after Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced today that Georgia had certified former Vice President Joe Biden as the state's presidential winner, which our own Streiff reported earlier on Friday [11/20/2020].  Now, the office is backtracking on that.  In a live update, under a banner reading, "Georgia secretary of state issues correction, saying certification of its general election results is still under way," the Washington Post reports.

Regarding post-election fraud in Pennsylvania.  In retrospect, I should have realized something was up from the absence of Democrats at my polling place, aggressively waving campaign flyers urging voters to vote for their candidates.  There weren't any.  We Republican poll-watchers had the usual candidate visits and their volunteers stationed all day at the election districts.  Now we understand their absence.  They weren't needed.  Two days after the election, the mail-in-ballots we never requested, as reported in my article "Stealing Pennsylvania," arrived — without postmarks!  They arrived too late for us to withdraw the provisional ballots we were forced to cast.  After another few days, my provisional ballot appeared to have been accepted, but my husband's was not.  Nor was the ballot of my very Republican second cousin, also forced to vote provisionally in a different township but same Democrat-controlled county, due to a mail-in ballot request that she also had never submitted.  Infuriatingly, the Democrats filed to contest over 4,000 votes in our county — my husband's and cousin's among them.  What are the odds that people, who have voted in the same location for over 20 years, would suddenly be suspect?

To Restore Election Integrity, End Mail-In Vote Fraud.  In the recent presidential election, Wisconsin had a high turnout, 72.3 percent, of which Joseph Biden took 49.6 percent — 250,000 more votes than Hillary Clinton in 2016 — and enough to win.  For a candidate whose rallies virtually no one attended, and whose political party, in response to recent rioting and looting, was passive, that's pretty good.  Or is it?  The answer to that may depend on the kind of ballots that were cast — whether they were cast in person or through the mail. [...] Suffice it to say, the opportunity for fraud with mail-in votes is clearly there.  If that opportunity has been taken, can we, through a recount, prove it?  The answer is no.  Once the mail-in ballots are accepted, they are thrown in with the in-person ballots.  Even if officials find out later that a dead person sent in a ballot, we don't know how that dead person voted.  So if we find evidence that something in the recent election suggests that there was mail-in voter fraud (and there is such evidence), there's nothing we can do to prove that.  Ever.

The Immaculate Election.  [T]he media won't acknowledge that there are any concerns about election irregularities — they have turned a blind eye to what looks like illegal activity, protesting instead that there is no evidence of voter fraud.  The various angles of view into the election have shown that there is at least some suspicion as to the validity of the final score on behalf of Joe Biden: one angle shows missing votes discovered in favor of Donald Trump a week after the election in Georgia; another angle shows that votes in Pennsylvania were not counted with proper oversight; and a third shows that voting irregularities caused Clark County, Nevada to refuse to certify a commissioner's race.

Takin' it to the Streets.  [Scroll down]  Americans by the millions are not going to 'unsee' any of this.  And when they put it all together, they know for an absolute certainty that they, the American people, did not elect Joe Biden as President.

Why is challenging suspicious election results 'a threat to our democracy'?  On Thursday, President Trump's legal team presented many pieces of information about the election that deserve to be investigated.  But the media have no interest in that.  Instead, they essentially black out the news and ask Trump to concede so they can crown their chosen king.  Worst of all, they continue to falsely claim there is no evidence of fraud.  The New York Times and others have written about the potential fraud on universal mail-in ballots in the past, as have other outlets, but now they call Trump a liar.  The media outlets know that rules were changed to make verification of mail-in ballots less verifiable, but they don't care.

Thinking about that flailing Fox News betrayal.  As the world watches an attempt to impose an alternate reality on the American electorate, there are those in the mainstream media who, in response to corporate pressure and left-leaning proclivity, have now resorted to prematurely referring to mumbling Joe Biden as "president-elect."  That's why, of late, every word issuing forth from the media indicates that concern with what may have happened during the presidential election has more to do with demoting Trump than preserving the future integrity of a constitutional republic.  A perfect example is in the left's insistence that there is zero evidence to support claims that 102%+ voter turnout, 3:00 A.M. data dumps, corpses who vote, statistical models signaling foul play, communist Chinese influence, and electioneering poll workers dressed in Biden/Harris T-shirts had an impact on who won.

Sidney Powell:  Some 'May Need Witness Protection' After Our Exposé.  Powell said evidence of fraud will be released this coming week.  "This was very widespread, very deliberate, well-funded and everybody and their pet rock is trying to stop me from exposing it," the attorney said.  According to Powell, the various election software that was used went far beyond just the presidential election and was used so specific people were put in government positions.  She believes it was also used against John James, the Republican candidate for Senate in Michigan, and Leon Benjamin, the Republican candidate for Virginia's 4th Congressional District.  "I think they did it to any particularly strong Republican candidate this time around," she said.

America's Online Minutemen and Women Just Uncovered the Dominion Plot Transferring Vote Ratios between Pennsylvania Precincts.  Another individual on the Internet has put together what he believes is evidence of the Dominion company transferring votes between precincts in Pennsylvania during the 2020 election in an effort to ultimately steal the election for Biden while concealing their diabolical scheme.

Georgia Governor Calls for Audit of Signatures on Ballot Envelopes.  Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp on Friday urged the state's top election official to conduct an audit of the signatures on ballot envelopes.  Kemp, a Republican, made the remarks during a press conference during which he signaled that he would sign off on the certification of the election results after the Peach State conducted a risk-limiting audit of the presidential election which showed Democratic nominee Joe Biden ahead of President Donald Trump by 12,284 votes.  "It's important to note that this audit only looked at ballots, not the signatures of the absentee applications or the signatures on the ballot envelopes," Kemp said, adding that he would encourage Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to address concerns about the signatures.

A Patriot Call To Action.  According to [Russell James] Ramsland the voting data shows that the numbers produced show clear indications that the vote totals are the result of an algorithm that manipulated the voting results.  The final numbers reported in Michigan appear in decimal [fractions], not whole numbers.  [Chart immediately below.]  If a vote was recorded as a single vote, the numbers would be whole numbers.  But they are not.  The results show decimals.  In other words, observed raw vote data shows decimal places, which is a clear marker that the results were produced via an algorithm as opposed to actual votes.  The most damning evidence is that the results reported in Michigan are physically impossible.

Michigan GOP legislators promise to 'follow the law' after Trump meeting.  Michigan's top Republican state legislators said Friday they will "follow the normal process" in certifying the presidential election results, after meeting with President Trump at the White House.  "As legislative leaders, we will follow the law and follow the normal process regarding Michigan's electors, just as we have said throughout this election," said state Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey state House Speaker Lee Chatfield in a joint statement.  They also said, "Michigan's certification process should be a deliberate process free from threats and intimidation.  Allegations of fraudulent behavior should be taken seriously, thoroughly investigated, and if proven, prosecuted to the full extent of the law.  And the candidates who win the most votes win elections and Michigan's 16 electoral votes.  These are simple truths that should provide confidence in our elections."

Dominion voting software can permit staff to manually adjust ballot returns during counting process.  Voting software deployed by the election hardware company Dominion Voting Systems can allow election staffers to manually adjust tally amounts while reviewing scanned ballot images, a process that the company says allows for "resolution of voter intent" in cases where ballot marks are unclear.  Dominion has been at the center of tumultuous controversy since the election amid reports of glitchy and/or unreliable voting software and hardware.  The company has a presence in a majority of U.S. states, including critical battleground states in which Democratic challenger Joe Biden has been declared the winner by major media outlets.  President Trump has suggested that malfeasance by Dominion is responsible for the narrow edge in posted vote totals that Biden holds in those states.  Dominion, meanwhile, has unequivocally denied any wrongdoing or errors within its machines.

Dominion Voting Machines Glitches.  Think about this:  DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) is likely to prove an insurmountable barrier to examination of these machines and their software, in search of most any aspect of the "glitch".  Among illegalities is "reverse engineering", which may even put statistical analysis of tallied votes into verboten territory.  Taken to extremes, the Act would seem to allow the SAME machines to be used in future elections, without scrutiny.  Scary.

Williams College Mathematician Flags up to 100,000 Ballots in Pennsylvania.  A professor of mathematics at Williams College, in a sworn affidavit, flagged nearly 100,000 ballots in Pennsylvania after analyzing election data and phone interviews.  Steven Miller, who specializes in analytic number theory and sabermetrics, said that one instance of possible fraud involved potential votes that weren't counted and another instance involved ballots that may have been requested by a person other than the GOP-registered voter.  "I estimate that the number of ballots that were either requested by someone other than the registered Republican or requested and returned but not counted range from 89,397 to 98,801," Miller said in the sworn statement, according to Just The News.

Rudy and Sidney's Krakentastic Spectacle, and What It Could Mean.  It was an hour and 45 minutes of scintillating legal and political theater that emanated out of RNC headquarters in Washington, D.C., on Thursday [11/19/2020].  Led by Rudy Giuliani, who for brief moments rekindled his persona as the U.S. attorney who took down the mob in New York, and star D.C. lawyer Sidney Powell, Team Trump made its case for a stolen presidential election.  It was a memorable bit of American history.  And what a case!  What Trump's legal team, the players on which are some of the brighter stars in the legal profession, offered Thursday were allegations of the largest criminal conspiracy to corrupt the political system in world history.  That isn't an exaggeration.  It's what Giuliani and Powell, in particular, offered to the mostly hostile media who showed up to the press conference.

There is evidence, actually.  The media has been claiming since the election ended that President Trump's claims of voter fraud are 'baseless' and 'without evidence'.  That just is not true.  The President's lawyer gave examples of it during today's press conference at the Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington DC.  But everyone is too busy mocking him to pay attention.  I tried to listen to what Giuliani actually said and not what he looked like or the characterization of him by the rest of the media.  The cameras started feverishly clicking the first time he wiped the sweat from his face, all but guaranteeing that would be the focus of the presser.  Giuliani did in fact present evidence of voter fraud today but many people simply didn't want to hear it.  He cited multiple Americans, one by name, who have signed sworn affidavits stating that they witness some type of fraud, whether it was pro-Trump ballots being thrown out without cause, ballots being backdated to before the election, poll workers being told not to ask voters for identification, and more.

Dominion Voting Systems 'Lawyers Up,' Abruptly Backs Out of PA State House Fact-Finding Hearing.  Dominion Voting Systems Thursday night abruptly backed out of attending a fact-finding hearing that was set for Friday morning with the Pennsylvania House State Government Committee.  At a press conference Friday morning, State Govt Committee Chair Seth Grove said the 1.3 million Pennsylvanians who used Dominion's voting machines have been "hung out to dry and slapped in their faces."  Pennsylvania lawmakers had scheduled the hearing with the voting machine manufacturer "to help identify and correct any irregularities in the election process," according to the House Republican Caucus.

Trump Lawyer Sidney Powell Says Team Will Sue Officials 'To Invalidate' Election Results.  Hours after claiming that President Donald Trump won the election by a landslide and that there is evidence to overturn it, campaign lawyer Sidney Powell said her team will sue more election officials in key states.  While the campaign will not sue election software manufacturing companies, "the suits will be against the election officials to invalidate the results of the election and force it to the legislatures and the Electoral College and then the Congress if necessary," said Powell, a former federal prosecutor who successfully defended Gen. Michael Flynn in court, in an interview with Fox Business' Lou Dobbs.  Powell was likely referring to Article One, Article Two, and the 12th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution about contested or contingent elections.  Some legal experts and Congress members, including Harvard professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz and Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), have suggested that Congress can reject a state's Electoral College votes.  Some state Senates and Assemblies or Houses can vote to send up their own slate of electors for when the Electoral College meets in December.

30% of Democrats Believe Election Stolen from Trump — 75% of Republicans Believe It Is Likely Election Was Stolen from Trump.  Rasmussen Polling found this week that 75% of Republicans believe it is likely the election was stolen from Trump.  And, even 30% of Democrats believe that it was stolen.  Maybe because it WAS stolen?

I Know Sidney Powell. She Is Telling the Truth.  Back in 2014, I worked freelance for a public relations firm in New York City.  It was there that I met an unusual woman.  I didn't know many lawyers or Texans, but I knew better than to chalk up her qualities to either her profession or her home.  It's rare that I encounter someone who I'm afraid to argue with, because of her sheer brain power and towering personal rectitude.  But this was such a person.  This woman had quite a career behind her.  An evangelical Christian, she'd been a federal prosecutor — and quit, outraged at the corruption she saw among her colleagues.  She did more than quit.  Horrified by prosecutors hiding exculpatory evidence and targeting the innocent because of their personal politics, she became a defense attorney, to help people fight the feds.

Team Trump:  Evidence Shows 'More Than Double' the Vote Margin in Swing States Is From Illegal Ballots.  Trump campaign lawyers Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and Jenna Ellis gave a blockbuster press conference on Thursday in which they ran down the legal case for the president's repeated claim that he won the 2020 presidential election.  Giuliani insisted that the evidence the campaign has collected suggests that "more than double" the margin of votes required to flip the election in six swing states are provably illegal, meaning Trump will have won them when only legal votes are counted.  Ellis insisted that the legal challenges are not aimed at reversing the preliminary election results, however, but at restoring election integrity.

Is election fraud possible in America?  Leaving aside who one was rooting for in the 2020 elections, are U.S. voting systems foolproof?  For those who are interested, here is a link to the embattled Dominion Voting Systems documentation.  The actual core device is a Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro (12.2) tablet running ImageCast X software.  The Smartmatic company, which is connected to elections in several third-world countries, claims no connection with Dominion, but as you can see from Smartmatic's promotional material, there are superficial resemblances which prove nothing. [...] What one would really like to know, of course, is whether the two systems share the same algorithms, libraries, or methods.  This would be possible if the public could see the code.

Voter Fraud Deniers Contradict Themselves.  The Democrats and their close friends and allies in the corporate press continue to insist that the 2020 presidential election was as pure as the driven snow, utterly free of any form of voter fraud that one could imagine.  They frequently mock, lambast, and demonize anyone who dares to suggest that there was any sliver of funny business going on at the polls.  Progressives like to appear as if they are absolutely certain that there is no evidence of voter fraud, even though mounting piles of affidavits suggest there may have been.  But for all their blustering, the actions of some of these individuals betray a distinct lack of confidence in their own narrative.

Awaiting the Kraken.  The only way the Left could win this election was by massive fraud.  That is what they realized during the early morning hours after midnight of Election Day.  So they piled it on.  This really is startling.  Not that the Left cheated, not that they engage in psychological warfare to cover up their cheating. [...] The point, really, is that state legislatures have a great deal of power in this matter.  They certainly should and must take into account the evidence of fraud and chicanery, not to mention the perception of so many of their voters that the election was rigged.  State legislatures are close to the people, and the people should let their concerns be known, without letting the legislatures squirm off the hook of their responsibility.

This is from May, 2016:
Fraction Magic — Part 1: Votes are being counted as fractions instead of as whole numbers.  This report summarizes the results of our review of the GEMS election management system, which counts approximately 25 percent of all votes in the United States.  The results of this study demonstrate that a fractional vote feature is embedded in each GEMS application which can be used to invisibly, yet radically, alter election outcomes by pre-setting desired vote percentages to redistribute votes.  This tampering is not visible to election observers, even if they are standing in the room and watching the computer.  Use of the decimalized vote feature is unlikely to be detected by auditing or canvass procedures, and can be applied across large jurisdictions in less than 60 seconds.

6 Big Claims by Trump's Lawyers About Overturning Election Results.  President Donald Trump's campaign legal team on Thursday released new affidavits alleging election irregularities while also making serious accusations of nationally coordinated fraud by local election officials to obscure a Trump "landslide."  The press conference, led by former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and held at Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington, went well over 90 minutes and proved to be as fiery as it was lengthy.  "President Trump won by a landslide.  We are going to prove it," Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell, a former federal prosecutor, said at one point.  The legal team said it will present evidence in new court cases asking judges for restraining orders and temporary injunctions to block certification of the election results in several close battleground states where former Vice President Joe Biden currently leads Trump.

Georgia Recount Plagued by Anomalies, According to Sworn Affidavits.  A recount of ballots in Georgia intended to determine the outcome of the 2020 Presidential election has come under scrutiny as multiple poll observers in sworn affidavits describe significant anomalies in the recount.  The affidavits, under penalty of perjury, are part of an emergency motion filed on Nov. 17 in a bid to halt the certification of Georgia's results for the Nov. 3, 2020, election.  Observers in Fulton, DeKalb, and Cobb Counties — including an election official auditor, an election recount monitor, a credentialed statewide poll watcher, and several recount observers — raised their concerns in sworn affidavits under penalty of perjury, filed as Exhibits in the Georgia lawsuit brought by attorney L. Lin Wood Jr.

Floyd County terminates election director after state audit uncovers uncounted votes.  Floyd County's Board of Elections voted Thursday [11/19/2020] to fire its executive director after elections officials discovered hundreds of ballots were left uncounted before the county's initial certification.  The Secretary of State's Office initially asked for Floyd Chief of Elections Clerk Robert Brady to step down after officials discovered the uncounted votes.  The board met for little more than an hour Thursday afternoon in a special meeting, which resutled in Brady's terminiation.  Officials cited at least two reprimands that Brady received in the past six months as the reason for his firing.

Tell Us Again... Why Was Mail-in Voting So Important?  [Scroll down]  The effort to shift from in-person voting to mail-in voting was never about protecting citizens from COVID-19.  In April, Wisconsin conducted their primary elections with virtually no mail-in voting and over 400,000 folks voted in-person.  COVID-19 cases actually declined in the following weeks.  People can vote safely in person by following the masking and social-distancing guidelines; this fact has been obvious for months.  It worked in Wisconsin, and it apparently worked in Florida two weeks ago.  What was the motivation then, of the discouragement, and in some cases prohibition of in-person voting?  Was it done so that government officials could appear prudent and concerned in the eyes of their constituents?  Maybe.  Was it done for more nefarious reasons, perhaps to facilitate voter fraud?  We don't know for sure, and we may never know.

The Left's Utter Nonsense.  I'm at the end of my cooperative, benefit-of-the-doubt tether. [...] We're evidently supposed be okay with battleground states just arbitrarily stopping the vote count and then later on resuming.  What possible, viable excuse can there be for such a procedure?  And why do you suppose it happened right when Trump was pulling ahead of the pretender?  And why, when the counting resumed, were the votes almost totally for Biden?

Sidney Powell:  Absent software fraud, Trump 'had at least 80 million votes'.  Sidney Powell, attorney extraordinaire, appeared on Newsmax's Greg Kelly Reports on Tuesday [11/17/2020] to explain what happened on election day and tell why she believes that Trump almost certainly got more votes than any president in American history.

Trump continues to blast election count claiming there was a suspicious dump of votes in Wisconsin for Biden the day after polls closed.  Donald Trump is continuing to rage against the outcome of the presidential election, claiming his competitor Joe Biden received a suspicious 'dump of votes' in Wisconsin after polling booths had closed.  The Commander-in-chief is contesting the outcome in the crucial swing state, which Biden won by a slender 0.62 percent margin (20,565 votes).  'Look at this in Wisconsin!  A day AFTER the election, Biden receives a dump of 143,379 votes at 3:42 AM, when they learned he was losing badly.  This is unbelievable!' Trump raged in a tweet posted Wednesday evening [11/18/2020].

'We no longer have' an 'honest press'.  Imagine if Joe Biden had enjoyed a healthy lead on election night only to see it evaporate as the numbers dripped in from Republican strongholds.  Does anyone believe the mainstream media would have rushed to anoint Donald Trump the winner?  Would the New York Times, Washington Post, NPR and other outlets have cast the inevitable Democrat demands for ballot reviews and recounts as a constitutional crisis or would they have run wall-to-wall coverage about the inherent problems associated with mail-in ballots?

Voter-fraud charge: 8,000 fraudulent voter-registration applications from 2 men in L.A. County.  As America grapples with concerns over fraud in its elections, a California case illustrates the extent to which some have been accused of trying to corrupt the system.  In this case, two men are accused of submitting more than 8,000 fradulent voter registration applications in Hawthorne, California, according to the criminal complaint against them.  In a 41-count criminal complaint, Carlos Antonio De Bourbon Montenegro, 53, and Marcos Raul Arevalo, 34, were charged with voter fraud after allegedly cooking up a scheme to try to register 8,000 "fictitious, nonexistent or deceased" voters to be sent mail-in ballots, the Los Angeles Times reported.

In a Power Game, Victory Goes to the Daring.  Whoever is inaugurated as president this January, I will not lose my federal job for stating that the Constitution renders irrelevant the alleged popular vote in any given state.  That is just a fact.  No one can credibly accuse me of violating my oath to the Constitution and of seeking to overthrow the government.  This is also not about evidence.  The Democrat national infotainment complex pretends not to know what evidence is.  Ninety to 100 percent of the evidence in most civil disputes and white-collar criminal cases is testimonial and circumstantial. [...] Of course, we have evidence.  Those who stayed up all night after the election, saw what happened with the Wisconsin and Michigan vote counts at four to five o'clock in the morning.  As for Pennsylvania, the Democrats gave us all the evidence we need when Philadelphia banned Trump campaign persons from accessing its early voting stations, and a Democrat-run state court allowed "mailed" ballots to be accepted up to nine days after the election (later whittled down to three days) with no postmark, i.e. no proof of mailing at all.  It was a set-up.

Do Trump's Lawyers Know What They Are Doing?  Today [11/19/2020] several of President Trump's lawyers, including Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, held a press conference in which they alleged that they have convincing if not conclusive evidence that the presidential election was rigged, and that in addition to garden variety voter fraud, hundreds of thousands of votes were added to Joe Biden's totals through electronic manipulation.  This is the familiar issue that involves Dominion and SmartMatic software.  Here is the press conference; it begins around an hour into the video.  [Video clip]

Team Trump drops Michigan lawsuit.  Has Team Trump thrown in the towel over Wayne County?  The campaign has withdrawn its lawsuit over the certification of election results in Michigan's most populous county, the only chance — microscopic as it was — for overturning Donald Trump's loss in the state.  However, the statement this morning from Rudy Giuliani claims to have stopped the county's certification, when in fact it took place two days ago: [...] The results got certified at the last minute in Wayne County in a dramatic standoff between the commissioners responsible for the decision.  The two later claimed to rescind those votes, but there is no mechanism for reversing a certification, especially after the deadline.

Trump campaign withdraws Michigan election lawsuit.  The two GOP canvassers who relented and agreed to certify the election results in Wayne County, Michigan, earlier this week now want to take their votes back, saying they were pressured into going along and faced vehement personal attacks for their initial votes.  After an initial deadlock Tuesday, canvassers Monica Palmer and William Hartmann agreed to certify the results with an apparent understanding that there would be an audit later on.  But Ms. Palmer indicated that it doesn't appear Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson viewed the audit resolution as binding and said she wants to rescind her vote to certify the results.

Trump Lawyers Start Cracking Up After They Find Out Reporter In The Audience Works For CNN.  [Scroll down]  Giuliani dropped several bombs during the press conference.  One of them came when he dropped a bombshell affidavit, claiming 60,000-100,000 ballots were dropped off in the middle of the night in Michigan on election night.  He also claimed that the votes had no down ticket voting meaning they were only for Biden.  [Video clip]  Lawyers for the President have been sounding the alarm in recent weeks and seem increasingly optimistic that they have enough evidence to overturn the 2020 election results.  During a bombshell interview on Sunday morning with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, attorney Sidney Powell dropped several bombs on the 2020 election and President Trump's chances of maintaining the White House.  "We're fixin' to overturn the results of the election in multiple states, and President Trump won by not just hundreds of thousands of votes but by millions of votes that were shifted by this software that was designed expressly for that purpose," Powell said.

Trump lawyer lays waste to biased reporters, outs them on how she suspects they'll spin presser.  During a press conference Thursday [11/19/2020], Jenna Ellis, the senior legal adviser to President Donald Trump's 2020 campaign, castigated the mainstream media over their partisan refusal to report truthfully on the campaign's findings as it pertains to voter fraud allegations.  The fact is that the campaign has already uncovered some evidence of fraud in its investigations of the 2020 election results and is slowly uncovering more as the investigation proceeds.  The problem is that, one, the media refuse to give the campaign time to complete its investigation, and two, they keep improperly framing the situation as a matter of the campaign not finding enough evidence to substantiate "claims widespread voter fraud."  In fact, even before Ellis was able to start speaking, "journalists" tried haranguing her for more evidence.  They apparently were displeased by the evidence already offered at the presser, though as Ellis quickly noted, the point of the presser wasn't to outline all the evidence — it was simply to formally introduce the matter to the public.

Sidney Powell:  "We Will Not Be Intimidated".  "In terms of the level of corruption we are looking at here, we have no idea how many Republican or Democratic candidates... paid to have the system rigged to work for them." — Sidney Powell  [Video clip]  We already knew the metadata available in the NSA database is for sale by private contractors to any politically connected high bidder.  That data is worth trillions.  Does it not seem likely that Dominion election engineers would offer their services to both sides of the political equation.  How many campaigns purchased those services?  How many currently sitting political leaders know the phone number to Dominion election services?  You think the GOP leaders want an actual investigation?

Trump: Chart Shows Massive Influx of Votes for Biden 'A Day AFTER the Election' In WI.  If President Trump is just putting on an "act" to keep conservatives happy, he's sure doing a good job of it.  Does he truly believe he still stands a chance for re-election once electors vote in mid-December?  He [very] well should!  This thing is not over.  Biden should not be able to cheat his way to the top, unlike his running mate (who slept her way to power).

Evidence Of Ballot Dumping Found In Wisconsin and Michigan.  President Trump is pointing to the latest evidence of an illegal ballot-dump in Wisconsin.  In a tweet Wednesday, the President said Democrat Joe Biden received a major dump of more than 143,000 ballots on the night after the election.  He noted, the illegal dump took place in the early morning hours on November 4 when Democrats realized they were losing in the state.  The 2020 Trump campaign is now mounting a legal challenge to prevent the certification of fraudulent election results in Wisconsin.

Election Security Expert Claims He Has Absolute Proof The Michigan Count Is A Fraud.  Russ Ramsland, from the Allied Security Operations Group, told Lou Dobbs on Tuesday night:  Russ Ramsland: ["]We have been out looking mostly at Michigan.  We are beginning on turning our sights on Pennsylvania and Georgia.  The things you find in Michigan are amazing.  There are over 3,000 precincts where the presidential votes cast compared to the estimated voters from the SOS (Secretary of State) is 99% all the way up to 350%.["]  [Video clip]

Massive Computer Generated Election Fraud in Georgia, 2020.  Will a "hand recount" reveal the fraud?  I can't say.  I can say that the perpetrators of the fraud have been perfecting this exploit since 1984, so they may have made a way around a hand recount.  There is no way around the math though.  There is no demographic explanation that accounts for such perfect data.  There is no way that Biden is exactly 15% more popular than Trump in each consecutive county, directly proportional to the number of voters in those counties, for the 25 most populous counties in Georgia.  There's no logical explanation besides vote flipping fraud.  [PDF]

Trump Campaign Holds Press Conference to Outline 'Viable Path to Victory'.  President Donald Trump's campaign is hosting a press conference at the Republican National Committee in Washington, DC, on Thursday [11/19/2020], where the president's lawyers are expected to lay out a "viable path to victory."  The press conference will feature former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Trump Campaign Senior Legal Advisor Jenna Ellis.

Rudy Giuliani Says Votes Were Sent Out Of Country And Counted By Company From Venezuela.  Rudy Giuliani made a stunning claim on the Lou Dobbs show on Wednesday.  He said that the votes from 28 states were sent outside the country to Germany and Spain to be counted by Smartmatic.  Smartmatic, according to Giuliani, was created in Venezuela for the purpose of rigging elections.  Giuliani goes on to claim that some high ranking people at Dominion, the Smartmatic affiliated voter software company, are known supporters of Antifa.

Giuliani, Powell lay out claim of 'massive' vote rigging scheme.  Lawyers for President Trump's campaign alleged a plot by his opponents to "rig" voting machines in the presidential election, delivering the race for Joe Biden.  A news conference held at the Republican National Convention headquarters in Washington on Thursday grew heated as three Trump attorneys alleged "a massive well-funded, coordinated effort to deny" voters their constitutional voting rights.  "In terms of the level of corruption we are looking at here, we have no idea how many Republican or Democratic candidates ... paid to have the system rigged to work for them," said Trump attorney Sidney Powell.  "This is enough to overturn any election," said Rudy Giuliani, citing affidavits and allegations of election fraud in several states, including Pennsylvania.

9 Key Points from Trump Campaign Press Conference on Challenges to Election Results.  Rudy Giuliani and other lawyers representing President Donald Trump's campaign outlined their case Thursday [11/19/2020] that the Nov. 3 presidential election was so deeply flawed in several key states that the results should be overturned in the president's favor. [...] [#5] Ballots casting votes for Joe Biden and no other candidates were allegedly run several times through machines.  Giuliani said that there were 60 witnesses in Michigan who would attest to ballots being "produced" quickly and counted twice or thrice.  He said that a minimum of 60,000 ballots, and a maximum of 100,000 ballots, were allegedly affected.  [#6] Absentee ballots were accepted in Wisconsin without being applied for first.  Giuliani noted that Wisconsin state law was stricter regarding absentee ballots than most other states are, yet alleged that 60,000 absentee ballots were counted in the Milwaukee area, and 40,000 in the Madison area, without having been applied for properly by the voters who cast them.

'Lost votes' are fraud votes.  The reason is that, when fake votes are put in the ballot boxes or are electronically created out of thin air, it inflates the overall vote totals for all candidates, and those totals have limits.  For example, not more than 100% of all registered voters can vote in an election and, given the history of past elections, vote totals in any state over 90% of registrants are highly suspect.  Drilling down into voting patterns in each state, if voting for most of a state is (for example) at a rate of 73% of registered voters, but one county that has a corrupt Democrat-run city within it is "voting" at a 94% rate (because of extra fraudulent ballots), that sticks out like a sore thumb — especially if that same county voted at a 67% rate in 2016.  To bring such a county more into line with the state rate, votes have to be electronically "thrown away".  Since the objective of the fraudsters is to push the senile Biden over the finish line, it's the votes for Trump that are discarded, leaving the extra fake Biden votes to be included in the total of all votes cast.  But that can't go too far, because a county that voted for Hillary 63%, Trump 34% in 2016 is not going to have "voted" for Biden 79%, Trump 18% in 2020, [...]

'Drop and Roll': The system for stealing votes from Trump.  In the old days, if you knew that your opponent was inclined to cheat, you assumed and planned for a "margin of fraud."  Thus, you might assume that 3% of the votes for your opponent were fraudulent.  These would be cemetery votes, non-citizen votes, faked ballots, or cheating during the counting (all of which we've seen in this election.)  Therefore, to win against your cheating opponent, you would have to get enough real votes to overcome that 3% in imaginary votes.  Beating the margin of frau, therefore, depended on a "get out the vote" effort.  This election, however, was different.  Going in, the Democrats clearly believed that they'd have the usual margin of fraud on their side.  Indeed, with the help of the mail-in voting that the Democrat states initiated, ostensibly because of the Wuhan virus, they probably envisioned an even more comfortable margin of fraud than they'd ordinarily have.

Pennsylvania voters describe irregularities in mail-in, absentee ballot process.  The U.S. saw record numbers of mail-in votes cast in the 2020 election, driven largely by voter concerns that crowded polling places and long lines could act as major spreading centers for COVID-19.  Activists and public officials in the months leading up to the Nov. 3 election launched major informational campaigns and voting drives to help as many people as possible vote via mail.  A reported 65 million ballots were cast by mail in the 2020 election, far outstripping earlier years.  Along with that major shift in voting methods came the predictable headaches associated with moving a huge percentage of voters over to voting-by-mail, including numerous reports of voters receiving multiple mail-in ballots — in some cases even when none was requested — as well as voters not receiving requested ballots in time for the election.

Republican election officials threatened during Zoom call for refusing to certify Michigan results.  A Democratic state politician told a female Republican election official to "think about your kids" and named their likely school, amid a tense stand-off on Tuesday night that briefly saw vote totals in Michigan held up from certification over unexplained irregularities.  Election officials in Michigan's largest county, which takes in Detroit, eventually voted four-zero to certify the results from the presidential election, confirming a victory for Joe Biden over Donald Trump.  It came around three hours after an unprecedented two-two deadlock along party lines drew praise from the President and the head of the Michigan Republican Party, but outrage from Democrats, including Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Attorney-General Dana Nesssel.

Lin Wood tells Mark Levin he believes Trump won '70 percent-plus landslide ... over 400 electoral votes'.  Powerhouse attorney Lin Wood, the man responsible for Richard Jewell and Nick Sandmann's successful lawsuits against the establishment media, believes President Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election in a landslide.  Speaking on conservative commentator Mark Levin's radio program Tuesday, Wood claimed that all the alleged voter fraud he's uncovered has him convinced that the incumbent president won over 400 electoral votes in the race.  "This election was a fraud.  Donald Trump won, I believe, clearly a 70 percent-plus landslide election in the nation.  He probably won over 400 electoral votes," Wood said.

Lawyer Who Worked On Trump Pennsylvania Effort Placed Under Official Protection, Report Says.  A Philadelphia attorney who was representing President Trump's campaign has been reportedly placed under official protection after threats were made against her.  Noting court papers filed on Wednesday [11/18/2020], The New York Post reported, "Philadelphia lawyer Linda Kerns 'has been the subject of threats of harm, to the point at which the involvement of police and U.S. Marshals has been necessary to provide for her safety,' the filing says."  The Post added, "The stunning revelation came two days after Kerns, a solo practitioner, sought sanctions against a lawyer from the firm representing Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar for leaving her an 'abusive voicemail on Saturday night.'"

Wisconsin Elections Commission Agrees to Order Partial Recount After Trump Request.  The Wisconsin Elections Commission on Wednesday night issued an order to recount ballots in two counties following a request by President Donald Trump's campaign.  Commissioners in a video teleconference on Wednesday argued for nearly six hours before ultimately agreeing to conduct the recount.  "An order will be issued mandating that the recount take place.  This is not a discretionary decision.  This is simply what will happen," Chairwoman Ann Jacobs, a Democrat, said at the beginning of the hearing.  But members of the commission, which has three Republicans and three Democrats, debated for hours over how the recount would be conducted.  Some said state law governing a recount contained ambiguities.  Republican Commissioner Dean Knudson said he believed the commission should issue guidance to canvassers that they should set aside ballots that had a correction made to the witness address.

Wayne County, Michigan, Election Board Rescind Prior Certification Vote Citing Threats to Their Family.  In a stunning reversal Wayne County Board of Canvassers Chairwoman Monica Palmer [affidavit here] and fellow GOP member William C. Hartmann [affidavit here] have filed affidavits rescinding their prior vote to certify the election in Wayne County, Michigan.  The two board members cite threats against their family as the pressure put upon them to certify the Detroit area vote against their original decision not to certify.

It's in the code:  Trump won Michigan and Wisconsin.  Last Sunday, in my article "'Lost votes are fraud votes," I looked at the "lost votes" for the 2020 presidential election listed in Internet blogger "Pede's" analysis, and I described how, after adjusting for the thrown-away votes, Trump won Pennsylvania and will win (after the recount) Georgia, while Biden likely won Nevada, Michigan, Wisconsin, and possibly Arizona.  But there's still something missing.  "Pede's" data search exposed votes switched from Trump to Biden, and "votes lost" (mostly Trump votes thrown away); but there is a third category that escapes this type of data scanning: "votes added."  By "votes added" I mean fraudulent "votes" that were all, or almost all, for Biden.  This would include (and account for) the massive "Biden vote dumps" that occurred in Wisconsin and Michigan in the early morning hours of Nov. 4 which shrank Trump's lead by 1.5% to 2% in those states and eventually resulted in Biden "wins."

Wayne County GOP Board Members Want to Rescind Votes.  Two Michigan Republicans who reversed course and voted to certify the election results in the state's most populous county Tuesday now say they were pressured to certify the election and want to rescind their votes.  Wayne County Board of Canvassers Chairwoman Monica Palmer and William Hartmann, the two Republicans on the four-member board, filed affidavits Wednesday night saying they had been improperly pressured and claiming Democrats on the board reneged on their promise to seek an audit of votes from Detroit, reports The Washington Post.  The vote to certify the results from the Nov. 3 election is seen as a key step toward finalizing Joe Biden's victory in Michigan.

Red Flags in Wisconsin and Minnesota.  The mainstream media continues to pitch the idea that the November 3 presidential election was free and fair.  Yet the numbers just don't add up.  Looking closely at outcomes in states like Minnesota and Wisconsin, certain "red flag" patterns emerge.  First, both states experienced an anomalous 89% voter turnout, a number between 14 and 22 points higher than the turnout in the 2016 General Election.  Secondly, both states had a surprisingly high number of ballots that were not completely filled out with a large portion of incomplete ballots either cast for Biden but not for a U.S. House Democrat (95% in Minnesota; 57% in Wisconsin) or a disproportionately high number of incomplete ballots cast for a US House Republican but not for Trump (43% in Wisconsin).

Republican Canvassers Rescind Their Votes to Certify Wayne County, Michigan, Results.  Two Republican members of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers in Michigan rescinded their votes to certify the election results, saying Wednesday [11/18/2020] they were bullied into changing their original votes, and state authorities had refused to conduct an audit.  As Breitbart News reported Tuesday, the board originally deadlocked 2-2 along partisan lines and failed to certify the results because of discrepancies between ballots and voter rolls.  But after public abuse and threats, and with the video stream down, the two Republicans agreed to change their votes, saying that they're promised state authorities would audit the results.

In dramatic reversal, Wayne County election board Republicans rescind votes certifying results.  In an extraordinary turnabout that foreshadows possible legal action, the two GOP members of Wayne County's election board signed affidavits Wednesday night [11/18/2020] alleging they were bullied and misled into approving election results in Michigan's largest metropolis and do not believe the votes should be certified until serious irregularities in Detroit votes are resolved.  The statements by Wayne County Board of Canvassers Chairwoman Monica Palmer and fellow GOP member William C. Hartmann rescinding their votes from a day earlier threw into question anew whether Michigan's presidential vote currently favoring Democrat Joe Biden will be certified.  They also signaled a possible legal confrontation ahead.  "I voted not to certify, and I still believe this vote should not be certified," Hartmann said in his affidavits.  "Until these questions are addressed, I remain opposed to certification of the Wayne County results."

Wayne Co Election Board GOP Members Rescind Their Certification Votes.  It's been a wild 24 hours or so in Wayne County, Michigan, where the Board of Canvassers initially refused to certify the county's results from the 2020 General Election, as Nick Arama covered.  The vote was 2-2, along party lines, with the Republican members voting against certification.  Those members, William Hartmann and Monica Palmer, said there were too many irregularities in the results, including that "absentee ballot poll books at 70% of Detroit's 134 absentee counting boards were found to be out of balance without explanation."  After the vote, other members of the board and the public — and even Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson — harassed and threatened Hartmann and Palmer for nearly two hours until the two relented and voted to certify.

L Lin Wood on Howie Carr:  "Joe Biden and the People Like Him Who Have Been Trying to Steal This Election — Will All Go to Jail".  If half of what L Lin Wood shares within this interview actually happens there are going to be explosive developments to surface in the 2020 election challenge.  It is difficult to encapsulate the content of this interview and I would strongly suggest listening to it carefully.  If L Lin Wood is correct, it would reconcile why the media and Big Tech are positioning their recent efforts as a zero-sum game.  [Video clip]

An Engineer Explains Why We Must Kill Software-Based Voting.  Let me list just some of the ways one could engage in election cheating by fiddling with software:
  •   Change the voting ratio between two candidates by any fraction
  •   Display an entered vote correctly to the voter, then change the vote before tabulation
  •   Display a summary of votes to an election official, and change that total later
  •   Allow remote modification of vote totals via the internet or local WiFi
  •   Change votes or methods at a certain time of day, or at a later date, even after voting machine certification concludes, or before/during auditing
  •   Change votes in a random fashion on election day to make it appear to be a legitimate voting trend
  •   Change voting trends by precinct, or using historical voting statistics
  •   Update the software secretly with a new algorithm
  •   Provide intermediate vote tallies to remote actors who are gaming the election in other ways
  •   Make adjustments to the votes of one candidate and tracking adjustments to other candidates down ballot
Any cheat you could do with a paper ballot becomes extremely easy with an electronic voting machine, plus a lot more.  Want dead people to vote?  You don't need to dig up their identification or voter registration card; just program the machine to register 1.02 Biden votes for every actual vote.  So every 50 Biden votes result in one nonexistent person voting Biden as well.

Rudy Giuliani Says Votes Were Sent Out Of Country And Counted By Company From Venezuela.  Rudy Giuliani made a stunning claim on the Lou Dobbs show on Wednesday [11/18/2020].  He said that the votes from 28 states were sent outside the country to Germany and Spain to be counted by Smartmatic.  Smartmatic, according to Giuliani, was created in Venezuela for the purpose of rigging elections.  Giuliani goes on to claim that some high ranking people at Dominion, the Smartmatic affiliated voter software company, are known supporters of Antifa.

Wisconsin, Like MI, GA, PA and VA, Caught Doing the 'Drop and Roll' Too.  [Scroll down]  Then once Biden took the lead after data dumps nearly every single entry was at the same ratio of Trump to Biden votes.  Again, it is completely inconceivable mathematically and statistically that after the switch in the lead to Biden, batches of votes would have exactly the same distribution to both candidates.  What is going on with the data and the votes recorded in the 2020 election?  These patterns observed in multiple states make no logical sense other than that data is being manipulated in the greatest election fraud in world history.

Mail-in ballots sweep Democrats back into office in NY Senate races.  A tidal wave of absentee ballots has swept embattled Democratic state senators back into office — enabling them to overcome substantial deficits with their Republican rivals in the machine count on Election Day.  Sens. Andrew Gounardes of Brooklyn and James Gaughran of Long Island both emerged victorious after tough challenges from their GOP opponents, who were in the lead by thousands of votes on Election Day.  Gounardes trailed GOP rival Vito Bruno about 6,000 votes in the machine count.

Can fraudulent ballots be identified?  Although the poorly documented, sudden appearance of thousands of "Biden" ballots may appear to be fraud, it's not proof.  And in any event, they're mixed in with the full ballot pool, and can't be disentangled.  Or can they?  Let's consider the dumping scenario.  Due to the limited time frame required to falsify ballots, it's likely that only a limited number of people participated.  So what does this mean?  It means that (1) the same sets of fingerprints should appear on multiple ballots (likely in the same place(s) on the ballot), and (2) these identifiers won't match known voting ballot handlers (eg election workers or ballot manufacturers).  If this is found to be true, then the most likely explanation for this is ballot tampering.

Georgia Monitor Catches 9,626-Vote Error in Hand Recount.  A recount monitor in Georgia discovered a 9,626-vote error in the hand recount in DeKalb County, according to the chairman of the Georgia Republican Party.  "One of our monitors discovered a 9,626-vote error in the DeKalb County hand count.  One batch was labeled 10,707 for Biden and 13 for Trump — an improbable margin even by DeKalb standards.  The actual count for the batch was 1,081 for Biden and 13 for Trump," David Shafer wrote on Twitter on Nov. 18.  "Had this counting error not been discovered, Biden would have gained enough votes from this one batch alone to cancel out Trump's gains from Fayette, Floyd, and Walton," Shafer added, referring to the three Peach State counties that discovered memory cards with uncounted votes on Nov. 16 and 17.  The discovered votes favored President Donald Trump and cut former Vice President Joe Biden's lead in the state by more than 1,400 votes.  Shafer said that two official counters signed off on the miscounted batch.  Republican attorneys turned over an affidavit on the incident to the Georgia secretary of state and requested an investigation.

President Trump receives 10M more votes than 2016 election.  President Trump has seen an increase of more than 10 million votes this year compared to the 2016 election.  On Wednesday, he took to Twitter to comment on the increase.  The President said he won the election and pointed to widespread voter fraud across the country, which has gradually been revealed throughout the election process.  Data from exit polls have shown a massive increase in Hispanic voters, especially in Florida where the President won 200,000 more votes than his previous election run.

Swiss and Aussies find a critical flaw in Scytl software that the US ignores.  How is it the Swiss and Aussies were better positioned to handle voting than the U.S.?  They vetted Scytl online voting software and discovered alarming features.  Due diligence proved Scytl software not secure, not verifiable end to end.  They must have known a bad electronic voting system could put the wrong candidate in office.  They cared enough to prevent that from happening in their countries.  SwissPost intended to roll out an online voting system to "boost participation" and "deliver faster results than postal counts.  Australia thought it could be more convenient, too.  So, they contacted respected academics to dive into the software code.  Vanessa Teague, (professor at the University of Melbourne at the time) is known for her work on secret sharing, cryptographic protocols, and the security of electronic voting.

Dick Morris to Newsmax TV: 'Georgia May Well Be Overturned'.  Columnist Dick Morris told Newsmax TV on Wednesday that "Georgia may well be overturned," by the courts in the 2020 election.  "Georgia may well be overturned, not just because the three counties where they forgot to input the results into the machine, but also because of people who are voting who are probably dead and people who are not registered," Morris told "American Agenda."  He added, "The problem in Georgia is that the state will not give us the list of people who voted.  And they have that and will not turn it over to us.  And we need that list to be able to call those people and find out if a they're alive and see if they actually voted."

Somebody doesn't know what RECOUNT means.  Or worse, maybe they DO know.
Lin Wood bombshell:  Georgia local election officials told to report original counts, not recount totals.  Local election officials were instructed to report original vote totals, not recount totals, by the state of Georgia according to a report by attorney Lin Wood.  He claims to have irrefutable evidence to prove this was the case.  There is only one viable explanation for this:  A coverup of rampant and incontrovertible voter fraud.  Let's assume that the voter fraud that occurred in Georgia was largely through technological means.  Dominion Voting Systems, which has a $100,000,000 contract with the state, is responsible for tabulating and reporting the vote totals.  If there was manipulation of those totals, a recount of paper ballots would discover this fraud easily.  But that didn't happen.

Is There Really No Evidence of Election Fraud?  [Scroll down]  Because roughly 90 million of 160 million ballots were circulated by mail, more than half the ballots were placed in circumstances in which it's impossible to know who could access them.  Does that prove fraud?  No.  But it does suggest that fraud is more likely than in an election whose custodians protected all ballots at all times.  It thus moves the (probability) needle a bit lower.  The same is true with the observation that Democrats clamored to reduce the security of these ballots while Republicans called to protect them.  Proof?  Still no.  But again, a slight reduction in the probability that the results are legitimate.  Then come the various sworn statements, reports and rumors.  Some states introduced unusual pauses in ballot counting?  Court orders were violated?  Observers were blocked?  Tally patterns show statistical anomalies?  Votes in a particular category or batch differ wildly from those in similar categories or batches?  Computer glitches?  Oddities pointing overwhelmingly in the same direction?  Every such report that the president can validate reduces the posterior probability that the reported election results are legitimate.

Third Georgia County Finds Memory Card With Uncounted Votes.  A third county in Georgia discovered a memory card with uncounted votes, a majority of which were cast for President Donald Trump, according to Georgia GOP Chairman David Shafer.  "Our monitors tell us that Walton County election officials have found a memory card that was apparently not uploaded.  The number of uncounted votes is not as large as in Floyd or Fayette but the President will pick up votes," Shafer wrote on Twitter.  According to Walton Tribune, Trump netted 176 votes as a result of the discovery.  At a press conference on Tuesday night, Gabriel Sterling with the Georgia secretary of state's office told reporters that, in Walton County, "there may be a memory card with 224 votes on it from an Election Day polling location."

"I Think We'll Find He Had At Least 80 Million Votes!" Sidney Powell on The Magnitude of President Trump's 2020 Win.  Sidney Powell went on Newsmax Tuesday night and discussed the efforts of the Trump team to stop the attempted steal of the US Election by the Biden Campaign.  The great attorney of General Michael Flynn and now President Trump.  Sidney Powell, was on with Greg Kelly on Newsmax last night and she discussed the colossal corruption that was used in the 2020 election to steal the election for Joe Biden.

Nevada — Trump Campaign Team Lawsuit:  More Than "15,000 People Voted In Nevada and Another State".  Clark County Nevada is notorious for election fraud going all the way back to the SEIU union bussing people in from California to vote in Nevada elections.  This is part of Harry Reid's long-lasting legacy.  Earlier today the Trump campaign team in Nevada held a press conference.  Within the presser attorney Adam Laxalt outlined some of the more consequential discoveries:  "This lawsuit presents that 15,000 people voted in Nevada and another state, it also presents dead voters."

In Nevada, a corrupt cash-for-votes scheme is hiding in plain sight.  The mass mailing of unsolicited ballots is of course a recipe for fraud, even more so in a state where the voter rolls contain tens of thousands of people who haven't voted or updated their records in more than a decade.  This is how you get dead people voting, as we reported here at The Federalist and as Tucker Carlson noted last week.  But there's another, less sensational but perhaps more consequential election scandal in Nevada that hasn't yet made headlines, even though it's been hiding in plain sight for weeks now.  Under the guise of supposedly nonprofit, nonpartisan get-out-the-vote campaigns, Native American voter advocacy groups in Nevada handed out gift cards, electronics, clothing, and other items to voters in tribal areas, in many cases documenting the exchange of ballots for "prizes" on their own Facebook pages, sometimes even while wearing official Joe Biden campaign gear.  Simply put, this is illegal.  Offering voters anything of value in exchange for their vote is a violation of federal election law, and in some cases punishable by up to two years in prison and as much as $10,000 in fines.  That includes raffles, free food, free T-shirts, and so on.

Was the US Election Stolen?  Arguably the most explosive fraud claims involve ballot tabulators manufactured by a Colorado-based company called Dominion Voting Systems that allegedly changed hundreds of thousands of votes from President Trump to Democratic nominee Joe Biden.  Most of the allegations regarding Dominion, which controls more than a third of the voting-machine market, involve a half-dozen battleground states — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — that mysteriously stopped counting votes after midnight on Election Day.  President Trump was ahead in those states, sometimes by hundreds of thousands of votes, before the counting stopped.  The next morning, after a series of pre-dawn "vote dumps" — that in some instances went 100% for Joe Biden — the former Vice President emerged seemingly victorious.  Forensic accountants, applying the so-called Benford's Law of statistical probability, have said that the election results, particularly in Pennsylvania, show clear signs of fraud.

Sidney Powell Updates on Developments in Key States.  Appearing on NewsMax for an interview about the current state of the ballot counting and election investigations, Trump team lawyer Sidney Powell discusses the current status of several key state ballot challenges.  [Video clip]

If election issues are not fixed, elected state Republicans must refuse to certify.  The Constitution is very clear:  The actual decision on who should be elected President of the United States every four years is actually made by the state legislatures. [...] American tradition however for almost two centuries has been for these legislatures to let the popular vote of the state guide them on who to pick as Electors.  If their citizens choose the Republican candidate, they picked Republican Electors so their states Electoral votes go to that candidate.  If the citizens choose a Democrat, they did the same.  It is because of this tradition that we all assume the popular vote makes the choice.  It really does not.  For two centuries, this system worked because everyone trusted the election process. [...] This trust is now gone.  The number of errors, suspicious actions, and indications of fraud, all designed to steal votes from Donald Trump and give extra votes to Joe Biden, makes every single one of the contested elections in the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin unreliable.

Third County in Georgia Finds More Missing Votes, Most for Trump.  Now, a third county has found votes that failed to be tabulated previously in the election.  Once again, most of them are votes for President Donald Trump.  According to the Walton Tribune, Walton County found 284 missing from one precinct, netting 176 votes for President Donald Trump. [...] So it sounds similar to the cases of Floyd County and Fayette County , as we reported, who both found thousands of votes which had not been uploaded.  Overall, they've found more than 5,000 missing votes, most for the president.  That's cut Biden's lead down to 12,929 and continues to wave a big flag as to how everything has been conducted when you find issues like this.

Georgia Sec. of State Makes Bizarre Claim About Trump's Absentee Votes, Which Calls Into Question Other Claims.  Georgia Republican Sec. of State Brad Raffensperger is in the hot seat with many high-profile Republicans in the state including incumbent Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, who last week called for him to step down.  President Trump has also criticized his handling of the presidential election there, calling him "a so-called Republican (RINO)" who allegedly made it "easier" for Democrats to commit election fraud with mail-in ballots.  Raffensperger has hit back against their claims about his handling of the absentee vote-counting process and the recount process in the state by alleging that the national GOP and their legal team don't understand Georgia election laws, among other things.  He has also posted supposed "fact checks" to counter some of their allegations against him.  But today, Raffensperger gave an interview to local news outlet WSB-TV where he made a claim that makes absolutely no sense regarding the number of Republicans he said voted absentee in the GOP primary but didn't vote in the general.

Georgia Recount a Test for Dominion Voting Systems' Reliability.  The Georgia election recount will not only determine whether former Vice President Joe Biden or President Donald Trump captures the state's 16 electoral votes, but also will either help corroborate or debunk voter fraud claims made against Dominion Voting Systems.  Trump alleges Dominion Voting Systems, and the voting machines the election technology supplier uses, are responsible for widespread voter fraud during the 2020 election.  In a tweet Nov. 12, the president claimed that Dominion Voting Systems had deleted 2.7 million Trump votes.

Whistleblower documents electronic voting fraud in sworn affidavit.  [Thread reader]  "I am alarmed because of what is occurring in plain sight during this #2020election for President of the United States...  What happened in the United States was that the vote counting was abruptly stopped in five states using Dominion software.  I want to point out that the software and fundamental design of the electronic electoral system and software of #Dominion and other election tabulating companies relies upon software that is a descendant of the #Smartmatic Electoral Management System.  Importantly, I was a direct witness to the creation and operation of an electronic voting system in a conspiracy between a company known as Smartmatic and the leaders of conspiracy with the Venezuelan government.  Chavez was most insistent that Smartmatic design the system in a way that the system could change the vote of each voter without being detected...  Smartmatic agreed to create such a system & produced the software & hardware that accomplished that result for President Chavez."

No Dismissing AGs' Vote-Fraud Complaints.  President Donald J. Trump's tireless foes are trivializing or ignoring his and his supporters' suspicions that Joe Biden's backers stole the White House from them.  Fortunately for Trump and his fans, numerous current and former attorneys general contend that vote fraud and irregularities have sullied or even spoiled this election.  They concur, at least, that these charges have weight and deserve examination.

Trump's Only Road to Victory.  I just received an email asking me to sign a petition demanding the disbarment of President Trump's lawyers for their advocacy.  That is McCarthyism pure and simple.  Lawyers are entitled to advocate all reasonable and ethically permissible strategies that serve the interest of their client.  Let us remember that as a matter of law and constitutionality, Joe Biden is not yet the president-elect.  He has been coronated by the media, by politicians and by most Americans.  But to officially become president-elect requires, at the very least, certification by enough states to give him the 270 required electors.  That has not yet occurred.

Sidney Powell:  Here's What a Smartmatic Whistleblower Said About Voter Fraud.  According to the whistleblower, the Smartmatic voting system was implemented in Venezuela in 2006 when President Hugo Chavez defeated Manuel Rosales by nearly six million votes.  The creator allegedly observed multiple elections where manipulated results ended up creating landslide victories.  The whistleblower claimed the Smartmatic system was used again in 2013 follow Chavez's death in which Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro came into power.  Powell summarized more of the affidavit, saying the whistleblower sat in a control room where live results were fed as they came in so they could see "whether the voter data was in their favor or against them."  "'If one looked at any particular screen they could determine a vote from any specific area or as a national total was going to be against either candidate,'" the whistleblower's statement alleged.

Tucker Carlson:  Yes, dead people voted in this election and Democrats helped make it happen.  It's been more than a week since the final votes were cast and many of Donald Trump's 72 million voters still believe this election was fundamentally unfair.  They're right about that.  Democrats completely changed the way we voted in this election.  Our system has never been more disorganized and it's never been more vulnerable to manipulation.  So was there voter fraud last week?  We've been working on that quetion ever since Election Night.  We've tried to be careful and precise as we report this out.  In moments like this, truth matters more than ever.  False allegations of fraud can cause as much damage as the fraud itself, and the last thing America needs right now is more damage.  [Video clip]

Pennsylvania Supreme Court reverses ruling in election-observers case.  Pennsylvania's Supreme Court on Tuesday [11/17/2020] overturned an order requiring that election observers be allowed within six feet of ballot-counting operations.  In its decision, the court said state law only requires that observers be allowed "in the room" where ballots are counted and does not mandate a minimum distance, NBC News said.  The 5-2 majority opinion also found that the Philadelphia Board of Elections "did not act contrary to the law in fashioning its regulations governing the positioning of candidate representatives," according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Trump pays $3 million for recount of 2 Wisconsin counties.  President Donald Trump's campaign has paid $3 million for a recount of two heavily Democratic Wisconsin counties, saying Wednesday [11/18/2020] that they were the site of the "worst irregularities" although no evidence of wrongdoing has been presented and state elections officials have said there was none.  Trump paid for the recounts in Milwaukee and Dane counties overnight Tuesday and planned to submit the required paperwork to trigger the recount on Wednesday, the campaign said in a statement.  In the two counties Trump chose for the recount, Democrat Joe Biden received 577,455 votes compared with 213,157 for Trump.  Biden won statewide by 20,608 votes, based on canvassed results submitted by the counties.

If Biden Can Take Power by Fraud, Our Republic Has Abolished Itself.  Everyone who stayed up to watch the news on election night remembers Trump's massive, double-digit lead in the swing states.  They also remember the media's bizarre dawdling to call any of Trump's obvious victories — Florida, Texas, even Alaska.  For Biden, however, outlets were disgracefully quick to call states where his victory was not clear at all.  Many went to sleep wondering if something was afoot — a media driven "reality" meant to conceal what had really happened.  Others who stayed up remember several crucial swing states simultaneously announcing a sudden pause in the counting of ballots.  A few states attempted to explain their holdup.  In Georgia, officials claimed that "a pipe burst"; though open records requests and text messages later revealed it was only a "slow leak" that should not have affected counting.  Although television anchors reported an Election Night pause in Michigan, the spokesperson for Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson warned Americans not to believe their lying eyes:  "At no point has the counting process stopped since it began at 7 a.m. yesterday morning," she told PolitiFact.

Smartmatic Director Admitted in 2017 that Their System Was Able to Create "At Least One Million" Phantom Votes in that Year's Venezuela Election.  Smartmatic has been stealing elections in Venezuela since at least 2004.  In Ausust 2017 Smartmatic Director Antonio Mugica admitted that the Smartmatic machines and software created at least one million phantom votes in the national elections in Venezuela.  Mugica added that the fact election observers were not in the room helped Smartmatic machines steal the election.  This statement by Mugica was in August 2017.

President Trump Fires Director of Cybersecurity Chris Krebs For Highly Inaccurate Claim 2020 Election Was "Most Secure in American History".  President Trump on Tuesday evening [11/17/2020] fired Director of Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Chris Krebs.  A few days ago CISA director Chris Krebs rebuked President Trump's claims that votes were deleted and changed by voting machines and tabulation software.  "The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history" the DHS cybersecurity agency said in one of the most ridiculous claims yet.  "There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised," the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) said in a statement released last Thursday.

Philadelphia Reports 8,000 Newly Counted Ballots 2 Weeks After Election Day — 85% For Joe Biden.  Philadelphia late Monday night reported nearly 8,000 newly counted ballots two weeks after Election Day.  Surprise, surprise 85% of the newly counted ballots went to Joe Biden.  President Trump was up by nearly 700,000 votes in Pennsylvania on election night when crooked officials in Philadelphia and Pittsburg suspended counting.  Millions of ballots magically appeared after Election Day giving Joe Biden the lead.

Wayne County, Michigan, Refuses to Certify Election Results.  Officials in Wayne County, Michigan, which contains the city of Detroit, refused to certify the results of the Nov. 3 election after local representatives on the Board of Canvassers deadlocked in a 2-2 vote, sending the votes to state authorities for canvassing. [...] If the state authorities cannot certify the result, the election and the selection of electors would have to be decided by the Republican-controlled state legislature.  Former Vice President Joe Biden currently leads President Donald Trump by roughly 150,000 votes in the state, over 2.5%. However, Trump led Biden by double digits on Election Day — before massive numbers of mail-in ballots were counted.

A few hours later...
GOP members reverse course, vote to certify Wayne County election results.  After what was an unprecedented 2-2 deadlock along partisan lines, with the two Republican members of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers voting against certifying the county's November election results, the board unanimously voted to certify the results late Tuesday night [11/17/2020].  The board also passed a resolution calling on Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, to conduct an independent comprehensive audit of all of the precincts in the county that recorded unexplained discrepancies between the number of ballots recorded as cast and the number of ballots counted.  All four members of the board unanimously supported the certification of the August primary election, which also saw unexplained discrepancies.

Update:
Michigan Democrat Doxxes Children Of Wayne County Election Official.  A Democratic Michigan State Representative-elect doxxed the chairwoman of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers on a public Zoom meeting on Tuesday, revealing where her children attend school and claiming that she was enabling racism by refusing to certify the Wayne County Election.  "You, Ms. Monica Palmer from Grosse Pointe Woods, which has a history of racism, are deciding to enable and continue to perpetuate the racist history of this country and I want you to think about what that means for your kids," he said, name-dropping the name of their school and talking about the impact her decision would have on their black classmates.

Republicans in Wayne County Caved In, Certified Results After Being Called "Racist" by Pro-Antifa Poll Watcher.  Republicans in Wayne County, Michigan reversed their decision to not certify the presidential election results after they were lectured by a pro-Antifa poll watcher and called racist.  Monica Palmer and William Hartmann, who make up two of the four-person Wayne County Board of Canvassers, sparked controversy when they initially refused to sign off on their district's ballot count which handed Joe Biden victory.  This prompted poll watcher and local businessman Ned Staebler to accuse the pair of basically being on a par with Nazis.

Voter Fraud:  The Crime That Must Not Be Mentioned.  Following the election, the social media monopolies did their best to ban discussion of voter fraud, lest confidence in Joe Biden's "victory" be shaken.  Today, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee on their platforms' political biases and influence.  I don't know what to make of Dorsey.  He looks like a homeless person and, based on videos I have seen of his testimonies before Congressional committees, he appears to be of below-average intelligence.  But that can hardly be true.  So maybe he is just playing dumb, trying to wait out the next few months in hopes that his Democrats capture the presidency and the Senate and no one will ask him difficult questions ever again.

Lin Wood on Mark Levin Show:  Trump Won a 70% Plus Landslide Election — He Probably Had 400 Electoral Votes.  Attorney Lin Wood joined Mark Levin on Tuesday [11/17/2020] to discuss the theft of the 2020 election.  This was one explosive interview!  Lin Wood repeated several times during the interview, "They got caught!"  [Video clip]

Second Georgia county finds uncounted ballots.  A second Georgia county has uncovered a trove of votes not previously included in election results, but the additional votes won't change the overall outcome of the presidential race, the secretary of state's office said Tuesday [11/17/2020].  A memory card that hadn't been uploaded in Fayette County, just south of Atlanta, was discovered during a hand tally of the votes in the presidential race that stems from part of a legally mandated audit to ensure the new election machines counted the votes accurately, said Gabriel Sterling, a top official in the secretary of state's office.

The Battle Is Far From Over.  There have been many American presidential elections that have been desperately close, including 1848 (Zachary Taylor), 1876 (Rutherford Hayes), 1880 (James A. Garfield), and 1916 (Woodrow Wilson).  There is nothing uncommon about them nor anything wrong with them.  But this election, even before the results of judicial reviews and recounts are known, has three unique aspects.  First, the substantial evidence of vote-tampering vastly exceeds, in quantity and prima facie evidence, anything that has been seen before in a U.S. election.  This is evidently the result of legislative responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, in particular the practice in a number of states of a general mailing of ballots, unsolicited, to the entire list of registered voters. [...] Everyone knows there are hundreds of thousands of questionable ballots floating around, and yet the Trump-hating media are raging at the president for being a poor sport.

Even the recount is crooked:
Georgia Recount Auditor Claims Multiple Trump Ballots Fraudulently Called For Biden.  A GOP recount observer in Georgia claims that several ballots recorded as Biden were actually votes for Trump, and workers conducting the recount became angry when he reported what was happening to elections officials.  The insider told Project Veritas, "The second person was supposed to be checking it right, three times in three minutes she called out Biden," adding "The second auditor caught it and she said, 'No, this is Trump.'"  "Now, that's just while I'm standing there.  So, does the second checker catch it every time?  But this lady in three times in three minutes from 2:09 to 2:12 she got three wrong" he continued, adding "They were calling their bosses.  They were pointing at me..."

Second Memory Card With 2,755 Votes Found During Georgia Election Audit, Decreasing Biden Lead.  A second memory card with uncounted votes was found during an audit in Fayette County, Georgia, containing 2,755 votes according to WSBTV's Justin Gray.  The newfound ballots decreases Biden's statewide lead over President Trump by 449, leaving the margin at just 12,929 votes.  The news comes one day after 2,600 uncounted ballots were found on another memory card in Floyd County, GA — which were mostly cast for President Trump.  According to county election officials, human error is to blame in Floyd County.

FEC Chair:  If Sidney Powell Says There Was Rampant Voter Fraud, "I Believe Her".  Trey Trainor, head of the Federal Election Commission (FEC), said in a tweet Tuesday that he believes Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell's claim of widespread election fraud.  Powell, a former federal prosecutor, recently claimed the president's legal team has been receiving a deluge of evidence concerning voter fraud and other irregularities, telling Fox Business that she has enough proof to launch a widespread criminal investigation and that, "we're getting ready to overturn election results in multiple states."  While she declined to detail what evidence she may have in her possession, she insisted, "I don't make comments without having the evidence to back it up."

In key swing states this year, mail-in ballot rejections plummeted from 2016 rates.  Mail-in ballot rejection rates in multiple battleground states have this year been significantly lower than both the historical average rejection rate as well as the rate seen in the most recent presidential election.  Mail-in ballots normally have a much higher rejection rate than in-person voting, largely due to the inevitable errors — forgotten signatures, misplaced addresses, improperly marked ballots — that arise when large numbers of people attempt to vote relatively unsupervised.  Historically, mail-in ballots are rejected at around the rate of 1%.  For first-time absentee voters, the rate can go as high as 3%, the higher number reflecting the unfamiliarity first-time voters have with the mail-in process.

Trump legal team zeroes in on expulsion of election observers, data irregularities.  President Trump's campaign legal team has beefed up with several senior lawyers as it prepares to challenge hundreds of thousands of votes cast in Democratic stronghold cities like Detroit and Philadelphia without required GOP observers, arguing the expulsions created disparate treatment or unequal protection of voters in violation of the Constitution.  The team led by former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani and longtime Trump private lawyer Jay Sekulow has been expanded to include former Justice Department officials Victoria Toensing and Sidney Powell, former U.S. Attorney Joseph diGenova and trusted campaign lawyer Jenna Ellis.  Paul Clement, a George W. Bush administration solicitor general with a strong record of arguing in front of the Supreme Court, would likely argue any cases that reached the nine justices, officials told Just the News.

How a Philly mob boss stole the election — and why he may flip on Joe Biden.  The innermost circles of the American mafia are abuzz.  The Boss of the Philly mob — 'Skinny Joey' Merlino — is taking a victory strut, hobnobbing around the highest echelons of old-time mafia folk, mostly in Florida, describing what may have been the heist of the century: the 2020 presidential election.  The feat is drawing praise from far-flung corners of the Italian American business community, which sees the thanks of a grateful administration as key to the revival of the community's political influence.  But an associate says that Merlino might just be willing to flip on Joe Biden and the Pennsylvania political operatives who ordered up some 300,000 election ballots marked for Biden.  The source alleges that Merlino and a lean team of associates manufactured those ballots at a rate of $10 per ballot — a whopping $3 million for three days of work.  They were then packaged into non-descript cardboard boxes and dropped off outside the Philadelphia Convention Center.

Dominion Confirms Clinton Foundation Donation, Pelosi Staffer Link.  Dominion Voting Systems has refuted claims about being biased toward Democratic officials during the Nov. 3 election, including allegations about a raid on a server in Germany as well as ties to Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) However, it did note that it made a donation to the Bill- and Hillary Clinton-operated Clinton Foundation and did not dispute that a former staffer of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was hired as a lobbyist.  In a lengthy statement last week, the Colorado-based voting systems provider first refuted that it has no ties to Smartmatic, another voting software maker, but it did note that the two firms worked together in the Philippines and said it bought some assets from Smartmatic-linked Sequoia about 10 years ago, adding that the two companies had legal disputes.  Some Trump campaign officials made claims in recent interviews that Smartmatic had links to Dominion.  Dominion has been at the center of controversy since Election Day after Antrim County, Michigan, showed Joe Biden beating President Donald Trump before the results were reversed, with county officials saying the error was due to the county clerk not updating software.

Detroit Dominion IT worker describes exactly how poll workers inflated Biden vote tallies.  For days, lawyers for President Donald Trump have been claiming his reelection campaign has obtained testimony from scores of eyewitnesses who say they witnessed vote fraud on behalf of Democratic rival Joe Biden.  But we've not actually heard from any whistleblowers.  That has now changed.  In video testimony, Detroit IT worker Melissa Carone, who was employed by Dominion Voting Systems as a contractor to keep an eye on ballot-counting machines, says she witnessed poll workers at the TCF Center repeatedly run the same batches of 50 ballots through counters sometimes up to eight, nine, 10 times.  What's more, she said that while she was not allowed to touch ballots or stand directly over machines, she said only saw ballots marked for Biden during her entire 24-hour shift — not a single ballot for President Trump.

Georgia recount unearths more than 2,600 uncounted ballots in Floyd County:  Report.  More than 2,600 ballots in Georgia's Floyd County that have not been tallied were recently found during a recount in the state for the 2020 presidential election, according to reports.  Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger blamed the problem on Floyd County election officials failing to upload votes from a memory card in a ballot-scanning machine.  Georgia began recounting its nearly 5 million ballots by hand on Friday after President Donald Trump and the Republican Party requested a statewide audit.

Contesting Election Results in Court Isn't the End of Democracy.  Quite the Opposite.  Is a disputed presidential election the end of democracy as we know it?  That's what many pundits and members of the legacy media are claiming as President Donald Trump has challenged election results in a number of states — both legally and rhetorically.  It seems that much of the media hivemind now insists that voter fraud never happens, that it's equally impossible for an election to be stolen or tainted in any way, and that going a few weeks with two rival candidates both declaring victory (including one they really don't like) means we are witnessing the end of America as a free country.  It's amazing that this is the case after countless Democrats, including Hillary Clinton, insisted that Trump colluded with Russians to steal the 2016 election, a story that most major media outlets ran with for years without providing any hard evidence.

The Appearance of Impropriety Dogs This Election.  It might have been mere coincidence that Joe Biden ran behind Hillary Clinton everywhere except a handful of critical cities in the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, and Georgia.  That is odd, to be sure, especially when one notes that around midnight on Nov. 3, Donald Trump was running substantially ahead in those states.  Then the voting stopped.  Everyone yawned and dozed off.  When they woke up, what do you know, Joe Biden had the lead everywhere!  Odd.  Possible, certainly, but also odd.  It was also odd that the turnout was so large: pushing 90 percent in Milwaukee, for instance, much higher than it was for Hillary, and substantially higher than it was even for Barack Obama.  It was odd, too, that all of what have been described as computer "glitches" benefitted Democrats.  They seem to have come to light by accident and, once uncovered, in some cases shifted county elections from the blue column to the red column.  Makes you think, as does the ratio of votes for Biden in those late-arriving ballot dumps.

Whistleblower Alleges Software Manipulated Votes to Change Venezuelan Election Results.  Trump campaign lawyer and former federal prosecutor Sidney Powell released an affidavit on Nov. 16, from an alleged whistleblower who claims to have witnessed how election software secretly manipulates votes without leaving a trace.  The whistleblower — who says his or her background is with the Venezuelan military, including the national security guard detail of the Venezuelan president — outlines an alleged conspiracy between Smartmatic software executives, former Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez, and that country's election officials, to ensure Chavez won reelections and retained power for years.  The whistleblower said he was present at multiple meetings.

Dominion Part of Council That Disputed Election Integrity Concerns in DHS Statement.  After allegations emerged that called into questioned the integrity of voting machines produced by Dominion Voting Systems, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) — part of the Department of Homeland Security — issued a statement on Nov. 12 disputing the allegations, saying "the November 3rd election was the most secure in American history."  What the agency failed to disclose, however, is that Dominion Voting Systems is a member of CISA's Election Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Council, one of two entities that authored the statement put out by CISA. [...] Nowhere in its email did Dominion disclose that it had any affiliation with CISA, or was an active member of the SCC, one of the issuing councils.  The email itself referenced the statement in third-party fashion: [...]

AG Barr, Where are you?  [Scroll down]  Is there a person in the DoJ who is not a craven coward?  It seems not.  What is to become of America if those elected to govern are so invested in increasing their own wealth and power that any real concern for the people of their districts or states is dispensed with the moment they win an election?  That is what the elected Democrats did once Trump became President.  So offended by President Trump's win in 2016, the Democrat party vowed then to do anything and everything in their power to never let such a person, an outsider with a pro-America, non-globalist vision, to win again.  They vowed to lie, cheat and steal the next election and they have done exactly that.  May the truth come out and their subterfuge be exposed.  President Trump clearly won the election on November 3rd.  He won it so decisively and so early that the left's planned cheating kicked into gear so conspicuously that it has been revealed for all to see.  Mail-in ballots were the tip of their crafty plan, the simplest way to cheat.  No IDs, no signatures required.  Ballots could be accepted for days after November 3rd.  They thought of everything.

'Three Wrong Counts In Three Minutes': Georgia Recount Auditor Says Things Aren't Adding Up.  A Republican National Committee monitor in the Georgia recount efforts came forward claiming he witnessed a counted wrongly calling out votes.  According to the monitor, the counter called votes that should have gone to President Donald Trump and claimed they were for former Vice President Joe Biden.  "So, second person was supposed to be checking it, right.  So, three times in three minutes she called out Biden.  The second auditor caught it and she said, 'No.  This is Trump.'  Now, that's just while I'm standing there," Hale Soucie, the monitor explained.  "So, does the second checker catch it every time?  But this lady, three times in three minutes, from 2:09 to 2:12, she got three wrong."  Soucie said he left the original table he was where they were recounting ballots for Cobb County.  He claimed he left the table because the second person wasn't looking at the vote but was automatically assuming that the first counter was correct.

Sidney Powell: the bravest, smartest, fiercest, patriot in America.  Sidney Powell is a force of nature as she exposes massive election fraud that swung a landslide win for President Trump to appear like a win for Joe Biden.  Undeterred by threats, she stands almost alone battling this shocking coup against our president.  Most recently, she was interviewed by Mark Steyn where she described the breathtaking scope of this fraud against the American people.  [Video clip]

Hurry Up With That Kraken, Will You?  "I never say anything I can't prove."  That's a quote from Sidney Powell, the superstar D.C. lawyer representing the Trump campaign over the weekend as she made the rounds on cable news.  Powell proceeded to drop several large bombs in those interviews, and made a promise that has reverberated particularly in conservative circles.  She said she would soon "release the Kraken." [...] We don't yet know how fearsome is Powell's Kraken.  What we do know is that Powell and other members of the team, like Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis, and, unofficially, Lin Wood, have been somewhat shockingly confident in the last few days.  Even despite the political winds blowing directly in their faces.  Winds, admittedly, generated by giant fans set up by the same legacy media organs who have lined up against Trump in ways never before seen.  When your news organization, for example, slants more than 90 percent of its features in a negative way toward the president, you can no longer be considered an objective news source.

Biden's Lead In Georgia Slims As Thousands of Ballots Are Miraculously Found in Recount.  A statewide recount in the state of Georgia for the 2020 general election is underway and irregularities have already been found.  According to a recent report, 2600 votes which were mostly belonging to President Trump, were "lost" due to a server error.  Of those 2600 votes, about 1600 of them belonged to President Donald Trump and only 800 belonged to Joe Biden meaning the President netted 800 votes.

Trump hails 'Big victory' in Nevada after county board tosses local election results.  President Trump on Monday celebrated what he called a "Big victory" in Nevada after Clark County commissioners declined to certify the election results for a county commission race — though the decision does not directly impact the presidential election results, which commissioners certified.  "Big victory moments ago in the State of Nevada.  The all Democrat County Commissioner race, on same ballot as President, just thrown out because of large scale voter discrepancy.  Clark County officials do not have confidence in their own election security.  Major impact!" Trump tweeted.  The Clark County Commission, which governs the Las Vegas area, certified the results of the Nov. 3 election with the exception of county commissioner for District C, which was divided by 10 votes.

Barr's DOJ Prosecuting Dems 'Ringing Up' Votes in Philly.  Let's jump into former Democratic Congressman, "Abscam" participant, and political operative Ozzie Meyer's world for a few minutes.  The Trump DOJ via US Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Mr. William McSwain announced election fraud charges on July 23, 2020 accusing Meyers of "...conspiring to violate voting rights by fraudulently stuffing the ballot boxes for specific Democratic candidates in the 2014, 2015, and 2016 Pennsylvania primary elections, bribery of an election official, falsification of records, voting more than once in federal elections, and obstruction of justice."  It was covered briefly in the national media due to the US Attorney's press conference — with a traditional lack of reference to the guilty party's political affiliation because he was a Democrat in a Democratic City, with a Democratic Primary and fraud against Democrat votes.

The great theft.  It is now clear, on the overpowering circumstantial and statistical evidence alone, that President Trump carried all the states in doubt by clear, probably decisive margins.  It is highly probable that fraud deprived him of Minnesota and New Hampshire as well.  Neither loss makes any sense, given his narrow loss of these states in 2016, and that even the corrupt polls this year had those races extremely tight.  We are to believe that he lost both by much wider margins this year, while gaining 10 million votes nationally and after the Minneapolis riots?  Utterly, facially incredible.  The President may well have carried Virginia as well.  Only the United States Supreme Court can break the now openly fascist American media's choke hold on information.  It can ignore much.  But it cannot ignore the Supreme Court.  We are all witnesses to the greatest attempted crime against our republic and the rule of law in America's history.

What We Must Believe to Believe Biden Won.  The Democrats dismiss any mention of the innumerable irregularities that tainted the general election as little more than crackpot conspiracy theories.  This is a convenient way to avoid addressing serious questions raised by serious observers, but it will further undermine confidence in key institutions that form the foundation upon which the republic stands.  Public trust in government, media, and even science was already declining before Election Day.  This trend will dramatically accelerate if Americans don't get answers to questions such as the following:  Why would the voters deliver the Democrats a comprehensive down-ballot drubbing yet hand the White House to the worst presidential candidate in living memory?  The last time a Democrat "won" the presidency while his party sustained a double-digit loss in the House was in 1960, during an election tainted by probable vote fraud in Illinois and Texas.  Still, we're expected to believe that Joe Biden achieved the same feat in 2020 with no skulduggery?

Attorney Lin Wood lodges lawsuit seeking to block certification of Georgia election results.  Lin Wood, an attorney known for defending Richard Jewell in a case about an Atlanta bombing, lodged a lawsuit in federal court on Friday [11/13/2020] against Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and the four other members of the state's Election Board.  The suit, signed by an attorney for Wood, alleges a conflict between Georgia law and instructions pertaining to the handling of absentee ballots.  The instructions were connected to an agreement that involved the Democratic Party of Georgia and other Democratic entities.  The suit requests that the court provide relief by blocking the certification of the state's 2020 general election results.  Besides seeking to prevent the certification statewide, the suit also includes some alternative suggestions for providing relief regarding the issues raised in the complaint.

Illegitimate President.  It's now almost two weeks since the most crooked, rigged, fraudulent election in U.S. history.  The engineered elevation of a handsy, sniffy, senile, empty portal, trojan horse by billionaire oligarchs, their Silicon Valley techno-geek social media censorship police, and the corporate media propaganda mouthpieces looks like it might succeed.  Republican cucks like Romney and even the pliable Fox News talking heads have acquiesced to this third attempt during this ongoing coup like obedient lapdogs positioning themselves to profit from doing the bidding of their global oligarch masters.  Make no mistake.  There was a master plan implemented by dark forces to steal this election, overriding the will of the American people. [...] If Trump and his allies are unable to prove fraud and overturn this sham of an election, myself and millions more will treat the Kamala Harris administration as illegitimate and do everything in our power to resist and insure its failure.

Does the CIA Operate the Election Rigging Software Paragon?  Lin Wood tweets on November 13, 2020:  ["]Biden & his criminal cronies are not going to sleep well tonight.  Well, Biden might because he probably forgot the name Scytl.  His co-conspirators know name well.  They also know the name Paragon, company which purchased Scytl in 10/20.  Every [sic] will be revealed.["]  Here's what we have on Paragon, Mr. Wood:  The IBM Eclipse Foundation for file management and storage across all systems and languages — definiely an intelligence operation operating alongside Eclipse and used by all the vendors, most esp.  Microsoft[.]  Note their updates in archive.org for 2001 have all been removed.  Conclusion:  Paragon's story is bogus.  Comes from Russia?  No way.  There are too many products to be a real company.  This appears to be an intelligence community company designed to unify data file storage across multiple languages, creating dictionaries that bridge the data held in each language.

Larry Johnson On The Scytl "Raid".  This morning [11/16/2020] Larry Johnson, former CIA analyst, has weighed in with a thought provoking account in which he claims he was "reliably informed" of what he says — presumably by former colleagues:  Unraveling the Deep State Coup.  I refer you to the full blog for all details, but here's the short version.  The core of Johnson's account is that the servers in question were not owned by private companies:  Dominion or Scytl, or anyone else.  Rather, they were owned by CIA.  That, of course, would put an entirely different light on the legalities that would have been in play.  If the Scytl facility were US government property, and if the personnel effecting the seizure of the servers were proceeding in accordance with valid orders, there would have been no need for German government involvement.

Another Glitch? 13k Wisconsin Absentee Votes Were Not Accepted By Software, Of Course It's A Trump County.  About 13,400 absentee ballots in a predominantly Republican county in Wisconsin experienced a "technical glitch."  A small mark on the bottom of the ballot was missing which prevented the ballot from being read.  Officials were forced to duplicate the ballots by hand.  [Video clip]

3 Fishy Things In Pennsylvania Voter Data The State Has Yet To Explain.  Pennsylvania, arguably the most important swing state in the 2020 general election, has some irregularities in its mail-in ballot voting records contributing to public unease over its election results.  While the media has called the Coal State for former Vice President Joe Biden, President Donald J. Trump and his campaign have pursued legal action in the state over alleged election violations and potential voter fraud that could have changed the vote totals.  The campaign also has a lawsuit pending petition in the U.S. Supreme Court.  It challenges the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's decision to allow mail-in ballots that arrived after Election Day to be counted, despite state laws that say the opposite.

Unraveling the Deep State Coup.  The courageous, brilliant duo of Sidney Powell and Congressman Louis Gohmert stirred up a bit of a storm in the last few days with this tweet [Tweet] [...] The U.S. Army did not conduct a raid in Germany on either Sctyl or Dominion offices or servers.  They are foreign nationals and we must operate in accordance with German law.  Moreover, the U.S. Army does not have law enforcement powers with respect to such entities.  So what happened?  I am reliably informed that a unit under the command of USEUCOM (i.e., United States European Command) did in fact conduct an operation to take control of computer servers.  But these servers belong to the CIA, not Dominion or Sctyl.  The U.S. military has full authority to do this because any CIA activity in the European theater is being conducted using military cover.  In other words, CIA officers would be identified to the German government (and anyone else asking) as military employees or consultants.  Such an operation would have been carried out with U.S. law enforcement present to take custody of the evidence.  That means that the evidence will be under the control of the Department of Justice through US Attorneys and can be used in court or other judicial proceedings.  This is not the first time that a military unit attached to EUCOM has compelled a CIA computer facility to hand over evidence. [...] I also have confirmed what Jim Hoft reported the other night — the CIA's Gina Haspel was not informed in advance of this operation.

Listen As The Feds Threaten Postal Whistleblower After Exposing Penn Election Fraud Using Backdating.  A USPS employee named Richard Hopkins signed a sworn affidavit alleging ballot tampering and fraud.  In the affidavit, the postal worker alleged that postal supervisory officials hatched a plan to backdate ballots mailed after the election.  Lindsey Graham received a copy of the affidavit and called for an investigation into the matter.  The Oversight Committee Democrats said Hopkins was interviewed by investigators Friday and Monday recanted the allegations without saying why he signed a false affidavit.  There is no word if Hopkins will face perjury charges.  Mr. Hopkins later said the feds intimidated him into watering down the story, but he did not recant.  [Video clip]

Dominion Voting Manager Now Democrat Mayor In Michigan.  A former project manager and customer relations at Dominion Voting now serves as an elected official from the Democrat Party, occupying the role of Mayor in Lathrup Village, Michigan.  The individual in question, Mykale "Kelly" Garret, worked at Dominion from 2017 to 2019.  Immediately after, Garret began working at Michigan's Democratic Party headquarters as a Deputy Director before launching a career in public office.

MIT PhD Exposes How 138k Votes Were Switched From Trump To Biden In Mich.  Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai, MIT PhD, the Inventor of Email, Scientist, Engineer, shares the results of his team's mathematical analysis of four major counties votes in Michigan in the Trump-Biden election that reveals an unfortunate truth of U.S. voting systems.  The analysis raises important questions for Election Integrity.  The precinct-level data in 4 counties show signs of an ALGORITHM re:  MIT PhD.  [Video clip]

Milwaukee Election Chief Busted ILLEGALLY Running 169k Votes Without Observers.  Milwaukee election chief, Claire Woodall-Vogg, gets busted on video running ballots all by herself in the corner of a room on election night.  Counting votes with observers is illegal as it breaks the chain of custody which ensures a clean process.  Claire Woodall-Vogg penned a letter on November 9, 2020, about the transferring of paper ballots to flash drives; however, it is against Wisconsin Election Law to break the legal chain of custody in reporting the tabulated votes, and thus use of Flash Drives is 100% ILLEGAL!  Clare Woodall-Vogg then was driven to the Milwaukee Election Commission's HQ for the reporting of the 169,000 mail-in ballots, which she illegally tabulated and transferred to Flash Drives, in the middle of the night without observers, oversight & transparency.  [Video clip]

A Closer Look At The Dominion Voting System Shows How The Machines Can Actually Change Your Vote.  The co-chair of the New York State Board of Elections has formally requested that the Election Operations Unit of the State Board re-examine the State's certification of the Dominion ImageCast Evolution voting machine.  The Dominion ImageCast Evolution (also called Dominion ICE) is an "all-in-one" voting machine that combines in the same paper path an optical scanner (for hand-marked bubble ballots) with a printer (for machine-marked ballots via a touchscreen or audio interface).  Last October, I explained that why this is such a bad idea that it should be considered a design flaw: if a hacker were able to install fraudulent software into the ICE, that software could print additional votes onto a voter's ballot after the last time the voter sees the ballot.  I'll just give one example of what the hacker's vote-stealing software could do:  In any race where the voter undervotes (does not mark a choice), the hacked software could print a vote into the bubble for the candidate that the hacker wants to win.  [Video clip]

We Were Able to Replicate Same Impossible Ballot Ratio Found in Michigan's Kent County As Reported by Dr. Shiva.  A deep dive into the results in one Michigan County shows a similar pattern as was identified by Dr. Shiva in his Michigan analysis.  Dr. Shiva's numbers can be replicated.  Votes were transferred from President Trump to Joe Biden based on consistent rate of transfer.  This is VERY IMPORTANT that this analysis can be replicated by data analysts!

The Extremist At Dominion Voting Systems.  It is unlikely that many of the 73 million people who cast ballots for Donald Trump in 2020 will ever accept the legitimacy of his loss.  Who could convince them?  If the media sources demanding Trump's concession held any sway with Trump's voters, they would not have been his voters.  They do not know for sure that the election was stolen, but they do know with apodictic certainty that the media would lie to them if it was.  So if Donald Trump says the election was stolen, that's good enough for the Deplorables.  Yet even the President's most faithful must have flinched at his recent tweet accusing a leading manufacturer of voting machines of committing election fraud on a mass scale.

Stalin said it's not important who votes but how they are counted.  [Scroll down]  Already, there is a mountain of evidence, direct and circumstantial, of widespread ballot fraud.  This evidence is buttressed by the divergence between the supposed tallies in these contested states, the actual tallies in comparable Midwestern states, and the demonstrably accurate polls referenced earlier.  How curious that, as Baris notes, "Trump won the largest non-white vote share for a Republican presidential candidate in 60 years.  Biden underperformed Hillary Clinton in every major metro area around the country, save for Milwaukee, Detroit, Atlanta and Philadelphia."  Robert Barnes, the foremost election analyst, observes in these "big cities in swing states run by Democrats... the vote even exceeded the number of registered voters."  Trump's victories in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin were on target until, in the middle of the night, counting was arbitrarily halted.  Miraculously, several hundred thousand votes — all for Biden — were mysteriously 'found'; Trump's real leads subsequently vanished.  The protracted, eventual outcome will determine the contemporary relevance of Stalin's observation.  No matter who wins, most pollsters already have lost their credibility and influence.

President Trump:  Many Voter Fraud Cases Filed By Citizens, Not Campaign.  President Trump recently cleared up the confusion on which voter fraud lawsuits the Trump administration is directly involved in.  Over the weekend, he said his campaign is not directly involved in a number of voter fraud lawsuits across the country.  Instead, the President noted many of them were filed by people who have seen "horrible abuses" in the electoral system.  He further noted cases highlighting major corruption in the election will be filed by his administration soon, which is something his legal advisors echoed.

Trump shares 2019 NBC News segment showing how easy Dominion voting machines can be hacked.  Most major media are continuing to push back on claims by President Donald Trump's campaign that voting machines in some key battleground states were manipulated in favor of Democratic rival Joe Biden.  But on Saturday [11/14/2020], the president tweeted a clip of an August 2019 NBC News report featuring technology correspondent Jacob Ward who explained how easy it is for hackers to penetrate and manipulate voting machines made by top companies such as Election Systems & Software, Dominion Voting Systems, and Hart Intercivic.  Ward's complete report, which is posted at NBC News' website, is titled, "How hackers can target voting machines," and was filed shortly after the world's biggest underground hacking conference, DEFCON, ended in Las Vegas.

10 days of darkness.  [Thread reader] [Scroll down]  Biden won the count.  Cheating or not, he won the count.  That's a fact.  But the states that kept accepting and counting ballots after the day of the election are in violation of their own state laws.  What am I talking about?  PA has laws on the books that states they cannot accept any new ballots that arrive AFTER the day of the election.  Anything coming in afterward is invalid.  You're prob thinking, "well the supreme court of PA overrode that law in a court ruling and gave them 3 more days to collect."  And you would be right.  But according to how the governmental system is set up, the courts can't create law[,] they can only ENFORCE the law that is already on the books. [...] In other words, all these trucks coming in at 2 and 3 in the morning on November 4th and beyond are invalid.  Biden may have "won the count", but only because they kept counting invalid votes for days after the election ended.  The Surpreme Court of the United States will not count those votes.  And since Trump was in the lead when the election ended, he is the legitimate legal president.

The 2020 Election Took Place Under a Trump-Declared "National Emergency" That Set an Election Day Trap.  We have another major bombshell for you here, regarding the 2020 election.  Despite the intense, malicious censorship of Big Tech, we're really becoming known for in-depth analysis and research of current events, so thank you for your support as we continue to fight for the very survival of America, our constitutional republic.  This story begins with the little-known executive order signed into existence on September 12, 2018, by President Donald J. Trump.  That order, available at Whitehouse.gov, is entitled, "Executive Order on Imposing Certain Sanctions in the Event of Foreign Interference in a United States Election."  In that executive order, which almost no one has covered since the day it was signed, President Trump declares a national emergency.  That emergency is still in play to this day, and the 2020 election was conducted under this state of emergency, which is a crucial point to understand what's coming next.

Powerhouse attorney Lin Wood files suit to declare entire Georgia election in 2020 null and void.  Donald Trump is hanging on to his reelection chances by a thread after the thoroughly corrupt 'mainstream media' prematurely declared Democratic rival Joe Biden the 'president-elect' in what is clearly the latest coup attempt against a president who has done more good for our country than the last three presidents combined.  But because he is not a swamp rat and is a legitimate outsider, he is never going to be welcome in a government apparatus that has become so corrupt and so aloof from "We the People" that the 'checks and balances' enacted by our founders to prevent this sort of runaway situation are no longer functional.  As such, the people will have to come to the president's aid and defend him as he fights to defend us and what remains of our republic and its election integrity.

Evidence of Voter Fraud in the 2020 US Presidential Election.  In this article, I will argue that there are many lines of evidence the combination of which justifies us thinking that significant voter fraud occurred in the 2020 US election which increased the chances of Joe Biden winning in key swing states.  Before turning specifically to the 2020 election, it is important to note that election fraud is not unheard of in the United States.  This is worth establishing because if we think election fraud almost never happens then we will have a higher bar of evidence for the justification of any particular claim of fraud.  In recent decades, there have been over 1,200 known instances of voter fraud due to which 20 US elections had to be overturned to declare a new winner (Heritage, 2020).  Of these, 15 were overturned due to fraud involving mail based ballots (Lucas, 2020).  This isn't surprising since mail in ballots have long been noted to be particularly vulnerable to fraud.  This is why most European nations have either banned absentee voting or require an ID for someone to obtain such a ballot (Lott, 2020).  This fact has been attested to by American media on both the right and left.

How Might Election Fraud Get Litigated?  In 1976, Jimmy Carter defeated Gerald Ford in a narrow election that hinged, in part, on the Electoral College votes of New York.  In the aftermath of the election, voters who supported Ford filed a lawsuit in Federal District Court alleging election fraud, and asked for the Court to order a new election.  That case is Donohue v. Board of Elections of State of New York, 435 F. Supp. 957 (E.D.N.Y. 1976).  I've selected this case for a deep dive for several reasons.  First, it's one of the only Federal court cases I could find to rule on the matter in living memory.  (The other is the famous Bush v. Gore, but that case has been analyzed deeply by experts already, and had a quite different fact pattern from the likely Trump lawsuits.)  Second, the allegations made by the Donohue plaintiffs are quite relevant to the affairs of 2020.

Trump knew there would be voter fraud, now 2020 election will wind up in the Supreme Court.  The last time the Supreme Court had to adjudicate an election happened in 2000.  Just like today, the reliably progressive major media outlets were eager to declare Democrat candidate Al Gore to be the winner as recounts targeted to heavily Democrat counties cut into Republican George W. Bush's small lead in the state.  Bush took the matter to court.  After reviewing the evidence, the Supreme Court decided in George Bush's favor in Bush v.  Gore.  Bush thus won Florida's 25 electoral votes and the election.  But if Bush v. Gore was a Category 1 legal hurricane, Trump v. Biden will be a Category 5.  And at the very eye of the storm will sit nine Supreme Court justices, deliberating the merits of the many cases that will shortly come before them.  And here, for those who are despairing about the future of the Republic, I have good news.  George W. Bush prevailed in the Supreme Court in part because of the able assistance of two brilliant young attorneys whose names will be familiar to you:  Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett.

Illegitimate President.  [Scroll down]  Despite the rigged polls purporting to show a Biden landslide and a blue wave, utilized to depress the Trump vote, and the hundreds of millions spent by the billionaire elitists, it was clear Trump was going to win on election night at 2:00 am.  Dorsey and Zuckerberg had been working like madmen during the last week before the election suppressing and censoring the truth about Hunter Biden and the Biden crime family adventures around the globe.  But it looked like all that money and effort was going to fail.  Then another non-coincidence occurred in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia and Wisconsin, as they all simultaneously stopped counting votes for a few hours, when Trump had commanding leads in all four states.  Mysteriously, as soon as counting resumed, an avalanche of Biden votes began pouring in.  Republican poll watchers were given the boot or not allowed access to witness the vote counting.  Machines "accidentally" switched thousands of Trump votes to Biden in Michigan.  Bins of votes arrived in the wee hours of the morning under cover of darkness.  Data experts analyzing the vote counts show the chances of such a one-sided distribution in Biden's favor was mathematically impossible.  The results in Philadelphia, Detroit, Milwaukee and Atlanta are skewed so far out of line with the rest of their states and the country, the only explanation is massive fraud.  The frantic level of pushback from the corporate media and social media censorship police is proof the claims are true.

Election Overtime: 6 States With Voting Litigation, Controversies.  Even as states kept counting ballots, no state had certified results, and lawsuits began to work their way through the courts, major media outlets announced four days after Election Day that the former vice president had won the presidency by exceeding the necessary 270 electoral votes.  Biden now leads by varying margins in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, and Wisconsin, most of which had showed Trump ahead on election night.

Sunday Talks:  Rudy Giuliani Discusses Ballot Fraud Evidence Discovered — "We Have Proof I Can't Disclose Yet".  Earlier this morning [11/15/2020] Trump campaign lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, appeared with Maria Bartiromo to discuss the current status of the evidence gathered into the ballot fraud in multiple regional jurisdictions.  Mr. Giuliani outlines a series of very serious allegations which includes ballot tallying fraud within the Dominion ballot counting software and Smartmatic machines.  In each of the regional jurisdictions noted by Giuliani there are multiple witnesses and physical evidence.  Philadelphia, PA; Milwaukee, WI; Wayne County, Mich; Fulton County, GA; Phoenix, AZ; and Pittsburgh, PA.  [Video clip]

The Direction of America is in the Hands of State Legislators.  After the states certify the results of their popular votes, they appoint the electors to the Electoral College.  This is done by the state legislatures, and the authority for it comes from Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the Constitution, which begins thus:  "Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors."  What's interesting about this stage is that the state legislatures do not have to "ratify" (that is, rubberstamp) the popular vote in their states.  They have the power to select any slate of electors they want, including those who would vote contrary to the just-concluded popular vote.  Indeed, the power of state legislatures to appoint electors to the Electoral College is seen as a plenary power.  That means it is absolute, unlimited, and not even subordinate to state laws.  The absolute power of state legislatures to appoint any slate of electors they see fit was articulated by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1892 in McPherson v. Blacker.

Starr on Trump legal challenges: 'Allow this litigation to run its course'.  Kenneth Starr, former Whitewater independent counsel, and Laurence Tribe, constitutional law professor at Harvard, sparred on Sunday over President Trump's legal challenges in several battleground states, with Starr wanting to allow the "litigation to run its course" and Tribe arguing that "it's time to move on." [...] Host Chris Wallace pointed to a joint statement issued on Thursday [11/12/2020] by the Elections Infrastructure Government Coordinating Council and the Election Infrastructure Sector Coordinating executive committees saying this year's election marked "the most secure in American history."

The Editor says...
As you might imagine, the group quoted so confidently by Mr. Wallace appears to be a collection of left-wing activists.

Sidney Powell gives details about the election fraud Kraken.  A few days ago, Sidney Powell said the Trump team would release the Kraken (a mythical giant squid that shatters sailing ships) against the election results that claim that Biden won.  On Sunday, Powell spelled out what this Trump Kraken looks like — and she vouches for its existence. [...] Sidney Powell appeared on Maria Bartiromo's show and revealed that the Trump team understands exactly what happened.  The statistical analyses are right on the money, and Powell claims she has detailed evidence about the people who committed election fraud and how they did it.  According to her, the evidence is ready to be shown before the certification date, and it may mandate an entirely new election — only one without fraud.

It's a Coup.  Just Say It!  Say it:  "This is not just election fraud, it is a coup."  Say it, and it will start to sink in.  As it does, at least for you, your Overton Window opens up.  The impossibility that the election of the president of the United States of America can be overthrown by preprogrammed, organized election fraud — that a likely landslide was turned into a loss — happened.  You saw it.  That window is about to open up for our nation. [...] Overwhelming evidence has already come out about institutional voter fraud — for example, here and here.  You will see many more math geeks showing that there was massive voter fraud, and you will not see a single deeply researched math person saying their math is wrong.  That's important. [...] When one is in the middle of a historic event, one does not know it.  Seems like just another day.  In hindsight, wow, I was there!  I saw our country fake the vote and put an early dementia patient in the president-elect column.  The question for us all is how this story ends.

Donald Trump, the Loneliest Man on the Planet.  Trump led in the crucial swing states on election night to a degree that if it were any other candidate or election, the media would have called it before midnight.  Instead, the voting stopped at midnight and votes were either fabricated for Joe Biden or magically switched from the Trump to Biden column, in only the states and in only the amounts to put Biden over the top so the DNC media could declare Biden the winner.  How convenient that just before Trump hit the magic number of 270, Fox News called Arizona for Biden, with other states on cue, stopping their vote counts, allowing the vote rigging to begin, avoiding having to declare Trump the winner.  It almost seems like a coordinated plan.

"We're Fixin' to Overturn the Results of the Election in Multiple States!" — Sidney Powell Releases the Kraken.  Sidney Powell said a few days ago that she would 'Release the Kraken'.  Today she and Rudy Giuliani did just that on Sunday Morning Futures [11/15/2020] with Marie Bartiromo.  [Video clip]

Trump Campaign, Georgia GOP Cry Foul As State Begins 'Fake Recount' With Not Enough Monitors.  The statewide recount of ballots cast in Georgia in the 2020 election began in earnest Friday morning, and the Trump Campaign and Georgia GOP are already crying foul due to the nontransparent process.  When Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger announced that there would be a hand recount in Georgia, he indicated that a full audit would take place "to ensure that every legal vote is counted, and that any voter fraud is identified."  Jenny Beth Martin, co-founder of the Tea Patriots said in a statement Friday that the actual process his office was directing "falls far short of that goal."

Report: Anti-Trump Dominion Voting Systems Security Chief Was Participating in Antifa Calls, Posted Antifa Manifesto Letter to Trump Online.  In 2010 Eric Coomer joined Dominion as Vice President of U.S. Engineering.  According to his bio, Coomer graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics.  Eric Coomer was later promoted to Voting Systems Officer of Strategy and Security although Coomer has since been removed from the Dominion page of directors.

How Much Fraud Could There Be?  [Scroll down]  The FBI has election crimes branches in all of its offices, but as Richard Pilger lamented, had a 40-year-old policy of investigating fraud after certification.  Attorney General William Barr recently changed that policy, but probably too little too late.  Corrupt elections are eventually audited, forensically investigated, and proven, and people go to jail.  I have heard dozens of retired Chicago employees brag about their role in frauding Kennedy into the presidency.  The subsequent indictment of 677 officials adds credibility to their claims.  Chicago saw 100,000 fraudulent votes fabricated in the 1982 Illinois elections, thanks again to corrupt election officials who went to jail.  Philadelphia, presently at the center of attention, also has its share of corrupt election officials.

The Sleight of Hand Election of 2020.  [Scroll down]  So when you see — in the middle of the night — a "dump" of votes of about 28,000 come in for one candidate, Joe Biden, and NOT one single offsetting vote for Trump, then it raises more than just my eyebrow.  I understand voting pattern infusions and realize there are hardworking, honest people trying to tally up huge numbers of votes from large states under enormous pressure of time.  What I don't understand is when huge batches of votes — tens of thousands at a time — come in ALL for one candidate, without ANY compensating votes for the other.  This sort of imbalance — and that's an understatement — defies the laws of Mathematics, Statistics, Gravity and Jimmy the Greek.  In fact, for an occurrence like this to have taken effect, a statistician put those odds at about one millionth of one percent.

Biden's Great Leap Forward:  A split second in Wisconsin.  I live in Switzerland and was working at my computer the morning after the U.S. election when I was stunned to see the Fox election map suddenly do something completely unnatural: in a split second between 3 A.M. and 4 A.M. U.S. Central Time, the Wisconsin icon switched from light-red Trump to light-blue Biden.  In that same instant, the probability meter, which had been very accurate in 2016, likewise jerked from a 77% Trump likelihood to over 80% Biden.  Maybe it's because most Americans did not watch it happen live as I did, but I have since wondered why this bizarre moment — Biden's Great Leap Forward — has not been widely mentioned.  So I decided to find that late-night moment of Biden's Blue Miracle in the voting results database.

Lawsuit Seeks to Toss 1.2 Million Votes in Three Michigan Counties, Handing State to Trump.  President Donald Trump's campaign spent last week examining legal options and issuing challenges to voting results while demanding (and, in Georgia, getting) recounts where the votes were close enough to allow for one.  But a major lawsuit filed in Michigan will result in flipping the state (rightfully, in our view) for the president if it is successful.  According to MLive, the suit demands that the state reject some 1.2 million votes in three large counties where Democrats dominate because of alleged chicanery involving the counting processes.

Smartmatic eyed in U.S. poll fraud.  Doubt shrouds the integrity of the forthcoming 2022 automated national and local elections, as former Mayor Rudy Giuliani of New York hinted the Smartmatic vote-counting machines being used in the Philippines — and recently in the United States — as vulnerable to poll fraud.  In an interview with the Fox Business Channel, Giuliani, in his capacity as lawyer of re-electionist US President Donald Trump, claimed that the Smartmatic vote-counting machines are "hackable."  Giuliani hinted that the Dominion automated vote-counting system that was used during the most recent presidential election is owned by Smartmatic through an intermediary company referred to as Indra.

Pollster: Have You Noticed That Joe Biden Underperformed Hillary Clinton Except In Four Cities?  Unless you're a Democrat or a member of the media, you've probably noticed some strange things about the 2020 election.  Somehow we're supposed to think there's nothing odd about old, white Joe Biden getting more votes than Obama in 2008, in what was a historically large turnout.  One pollster is asking a very good question.  Why did Biden underperform Hillary Clinton's numbers except in four specific cities?

Spoiler: Milwaukee, Detroit, Atlanta and Philadelphia.
Pollster: It's Curious How Biden Underperformed Hillary Clinton In Every City... Except These Four.  Until all the votes are counted and all the allegations of voter fraud are investigated, I think it's too early to declare a winner in the 2020 race.  You keep fighting.  For now, the legal challenges are hitting snags in the courts.  Still, President Trump should keep fighting to the end.  We have dead people voting.  We have allegations of ballots being illegally backdated.  Everything should be looked at right now.  Was this election stolen?  Well, millions feel that way.  The turnout numbers are odd in some states, like Wisconsin, which hit 89 percent.  Now, is that figure impossible?  No.  Wall Street Journal's Kimberley Strassel did the math, but it's highly improbable given the turnout rates in the surrounding areas.  It would require 900,000 people showing up for same-day registrations.

The New York Times' Pennsylvania Voting Data Seems to Confirm Massive and Obvious Vote Count Manipulation for Biden.  I've retrieved all of The New York Times' 2020 presidential datasets, which have a time-series of voting data from a company called Edison Research.  Here, for instance, is Pennsylvania's.  What I found is pretty fascinating, especially in Pennsylvania.  As just one example, here is a graph depicting the shifts in votes starting on election day.  The X-axis is the date/time and the Y-axis represents the change in votes (positive values denote shifts for Trump, negative values represent shifts for Biden, in hundreds).  May I call your attention to the differences between the left and the right sides of the graph?  Please note that after about 23:00 hours on 11/4/20 Zulu, virtually all vote swings went for Biden.  [Spreadsheet]  You'll notice that after the 11/4/20 23:00Z cutoff time, only swings of Biden votes (in multiples of 6,000 at a time) seem to have been received.  Statistically, these changes make no sense.  They're not just improbable, they appear to be impossible.

What's Kraken?  There was a bizarre switch on election eve.  As vote counting suddenly and oddly was halted in several key states, the tallies, which had shown that a substantial victory was in the offing for the President, suddenly — and statistically impossibly — ran up huge numbers for Biden and away from Trump.  This certainly creates an impression that the shift was the result of theft.  Other indications besides the statements of these lawyers (the analyses by statisticians, the hundreds of sworn affidavits by poll watchers) who certainly would not risk their reputations on baseless charges of such significance, suggest that the counting was seriously flawed and likely tampered with.  By whom and how the evidence of it was obtained remains unclear, but as this is likely to be a continuing issue, I'd like to share what I have been able to find through the work of numerous online commenters and researchers.

Lin Wood Files Lawsuit Challenging Georgia's Secretary of State's Dark Unconstitutional Agreement with Hillary Attorney Marc Elias.  The country is just being introduced to Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger.  We are also beginning to uncover the corrupt actions he has taken to steal the 2020 election for the Democrats.  Soon the whole country will know him and his actions.  On March 6, 2020 the Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, signed off on a secret legal agreement with the Democratic Party of Georgia, the Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee to alter absentee ballot procedures in Georgia.  The Democrats' attorney for this secret deal was Marc Elias from Perkins Coie, the consigliere of Hillary Clinton who has been busy managing other secretive Democratic election operations all across the country.

The Law Is There's No Presidential Transition Until Congress Certifies the Election.  Even though the votes are still being counted, Joe Biden declared that he is the President-Elect, a shadow government office invented by Obama and invested with a pseudo-government seal, and he has been holding fake briefings and taking phone calls with foreign leaders.  The United States only has one president at a time.  Maintaining a fake shadow presidency undermines the sitting administration to the American people and to foreign governments.  It's illegal and inappropriate.  So the Democrats are doing it anyway.  Incoming presidents, since Truman's day, receive briefings and, since Kennedy's day, get funding for their transition teams, but, according to the law, only once it's clear who won.  The last time this happened, the Bush transition was blocked by Democrats until December.  But the media is boosting its Biden cable network coup by threatening the head of the GSA.  A week after the election, the media descended on Emily Murphy, the head of the General Services Administration (GSA), demanding that she release funds to a Biden transition.

Judge threw out PA election in 1994 over fraud.  Some say that President Donald John Trump cannot get the courts to stop the steal, but it has been done before.  In Pennsylvania.  The New York Times reported on February 19, 1994, "Vote-Fraud Ruling Shifts Pennsylvania Senate."  The story said, "Saying Philadelphia's election system had collapsed under a massive scheme by Democrats to steal a State Senate election in November, a Federal judge today took the rare step of invalidating the vote and ordered the seat filled by the Republican candidate.  "In making such a sweeping move, the judge, Clarence C. Newcomer of Federal District Court here, did for the Republicans what the election had not: enable them to regain control of the State Senate, which they lost two years ago.  "Judge Newcomer ruled that the Democratic campaign of William G. Stinson had stolen the election from Bruce S. Marks in North Philadelphia's Second Senatorial District through an elaborate fraud in which hundreds of residents were encouraged to vote by absentee ballot even though they had no legal reason — like a physical disability or a scheduled trip outside the city — to do so. [...]"

What It Was Like to Be a Republican Poll-Watcher in New York.  [Scroll down]  After one day of orders barked and being called, with ill disguised disdain, "the public," I decided enough was too much.  Even though I wanted to assist and also make sure things were kosher in this operation of millions of ballots, some military mixed in with residents of NYC, I had had my fill of being disregarded, ordered, told off, reminded of things never told to me in the first place.  The counters could exult at my absence the next day.  I couldn't in good conscience put myself through another day or more of this prison-like rigmarole.

California judge rules Gov. Gavin Newsom overstepped authority with mail ballot order.  A California judge has ruled that Gov. Gavin Newsom overstepped his authority when he issued an executive order requiring vote-by-mail ballots sent to all registered voters, according to reports.  Sutter County Superior Court Judge Sarah Heckman ruled Friday [11/13/2020] that Newsom did not have the authority to amend or change existing election law — even during a pandemic.  The ruling put a permanent injunction on Newsom, prohibiting him from changing existing law under the California Emergency Services Act (CESA), according to KCRA.  The ruling does not affect the results of the 2020 general election.

Dominion Machines Cover Millions of Voters, But Watch How Easy It Is To Rig One of Them.  The credibility and accuracy of a major supplier of voting equipment are now in question after a chaotic election, with a disastrous resurfaced video only heaping fuel on the fire.  Despite a flurry of fact checks from the establishment media jumping to defend Dominion Voting Systems, the world was shown years ago how easily manipulated the company's machines are.  When the New York Times posted their 2018 expose on the faults in our election infrastructure, the nation was at the height of the Russian collusion conspiracy theory.  Naturally, the Times piece, "I Hacked an Election.  So Can the Russians," focused more on what foreign actors could do.  To demonstrate the potential harm, computer scientist Alex Halderman rigged an informal election.

The Show Is Just Starting — Democrats Rigged the Voting Machines, They Attempted a Steal — And They Got Caught.  The fireworks are just getting started.  The Democrats are in a panic.  President Trump has the upper hand.  We are seeing several signs that the Trump legal team is aware of how the election was stolen for Joe Biden.  Lin Wood tweeted today [11/14/2020] that he has seen the evidence of fraud in the computer voting system.

WSJ's Post-Election Analysis of Bellwether Counties Shows a Clear Presidential Winner and It's Not Close.  A post-election analysis of bellwether counties — that is, the 19 counties around the country that have consistently picked the winner of presidential races with extremely rare exceptions over the past century — once again clearly picked one candidate over another this year.  And it wasn't Joe Biden.  The analysis comes as President Donald Trump's campaign continues to challenge election results in some states while demanding recounts in others, including one in Georgia which is currently taking place.  The president and his legal team claim to have found substantial evidence of voting manipulation and outright fraud, much of it via the Dominion Voting System electronic ballot machines used in many states.

Carter Center to Monitor Georgia Recount.  The Carter Center will monitor the hand recount of the presidential election in Georgia. [...] Democratic nominee Joe Biden led President Donald Trump in Georgia by 0.3 percent as of Friday night [11/13/2020].  Georgia allows for a recount if the margin between the leading candidates is less than half percent.  Masked election workers in teams of two began counting ballots Friday in counties across Georgia.  The hand tally stems from an audit required by a new state law.  The law requires that one race be audited to check that new election machines counted the ballots accurately.  Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger chose to audit the presidential race and said the tight margin meant a full hand count was necessary.

Trump lawyer says she's about to 'release the Kraken': 'I'm going to expose every one of them'.  Sidney Powell, a former federal prosecutor and member of President Donald Trump's legal team, said Friday night his campaign has collected a mountain of evidence revealing widespread election fraud linked to Dominion Voter Systems software.  In an interview with Fox Business Network's Lou Dobbs, Powell said the company's software was initially created to "produce altered results" in Venezuelan elections in favor of the late left-wing leader Hugo Chavez but has since been exported to other countries for the purpose of stealing elections, including in the United States.  "I can hardly wait to put forth all the evidence we have collected on Dominion," she said, adding that the software was funded by money from Venezuela and Cuba.  "China has a role in it also.  So if you wanna talk about foreign interference, we certainly have it now," she continued.

GOP List of Alleged Voter Fraud in Nevada Contains Hundreds of Military Addresses.  A letter sent Nov. 5 on behalf of President Donald Trump's reelection campaign to Attorney General William Barr alleges that 3,062 voters who do not live in the state of Nevada "improperly cast" absentee ballots in the 2020 election.  But the list that accompanies the letter of those accused of "criminal voter fraud" contains hundreds of overseas military post office boxes and more than 1,000 locations where military personnel are stationed, such as Minot, North Dakota; Edwards and Fort Irwin, California; Hill Air Force Base, Utah; Carlisle, Pennsylvania; and Yuma, Arizona.  To at least one military spouse whose residences of Henderson, Nevada, and Davis, California, are listed — with their specific nine-digit ZIP codes (exact addresses are not included) — finding herself and her husband, an Air Force major, on the list was "shocking."

Collins: Georgia Can't Properly Certify Election Without Verifying Signatures.  The head of the Trump campaign's recount effort in Georgia said the Peach State will not be able to properly certify the results of the 2020 presidential election without verifying the voter signatures on absentee ballots and envelopes.  "The hand count process in Georgia MUST include a review of signatures on absentee ballots and envelopes to verify whether the signature verification process was properly executed," Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.) wrote on Twitter on Saturday [11/14/2020].  "This is absolutely CRITICAL," he added.  "Without this, Georgia CANNOT properly certify the election results."  Georgia began a hand recount of the presidential election on Friday.  The recount was ordered under a new state law, which requires the secretary of state to audit one race after the election.  Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger chose to audit the presidential race and said the tight margin meant a full hand count was necessary.

How Republican State Legislatures Can Re-Elect Trump.  It is time for the Republican state legislatures to go nuclear.  Where there is a will, there is a way.  If the Republican Party is willing to fight, Donald Trump can win a second term without needing to win a single recount or court case.  Article II, Section 1 of the Constitution states that "Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress ..."  (Emphasis added.)  The manner of appointing electors is left entirely to the state legislatures.  The constitutional text could not be any clearer.  Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia all have Republican-controlled legislatures.  If these bodies so wished, they could appoint new slates of electors that would elect Donald Trump in the vote of the Electoral College.

Election Data Team to Call 1.25 Million Voters Over Anomalies in 6 Contested States.  The former data and strategy director for President Donald Trump's 2016 election campaign has canceled his vacation plans to comb through election data for voter fraud.  Matt Braynard and his wife had planned to be in the Dominican Republic, but "right now, this is where I'm needed," he said on YouTube on Nov. 8.  Braynard has assembled a team to look for inconsistencies in the six contested states — Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Nevada.  So far, they've identified 1.25 million voter issues that they're following up on through phone calls and against other databases.  The largest issue they've found so far is with voters who had submitted a National Change of Address form to the post office indicating they moved out of state, yet appear to have voted in 2020 in the state they moved from.

GOP Candidate Appeals Pennsylvania County Decision to Count Undated Mail-In Ballots.  A Republican state Senate candidate is appealing the decision by Allegheny County, Pennsylvania to count over 2,000 mail-in ballots with no date.  Ziccarelli, 38, an attorney, filed a petition in Allegheny County Common Pleas Court to set aside the 2,349 ballots in question.  The Allegheny County Board of Elections voted on Nov. 10 to count the ballots even though they had no date on them.  "They applied on time, received their ballots, voted their ballots, returned them on time with their signature, their printed name, their address — the only thing they're missing is their date," County Solicitor Andrew Szefi told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.  "They were received timely, and our ... ballot sorting machine imprints a date received on each envelope as they're scanned."

Wisconsin Voters File Lawsuit to Exclude Over 792,000 Votes in 3 Counties.  Three voters in Wisconsin have filed a federal lawsuit seeking to exclude Nov. 3 election results in three of the state's counties that helped push Joe Biden ahead of President Donald Trump.  The action, if successful, would invalidate over 792,000 votes cast across the state.  The civil action, filed on Thursday [11/12/2020], alleges that there is "sufficient evidence that illegal votes were counted" in Milwaukee, Dane, and Menominee counties "to change or place in doubt the results" of the presidential election in the counties.  The voters asked the court to declare that the counties' results "must be invalidated" and to block the counties from certifying their results.  All three counties lean heavily Democrat, with Milwaukee and Dane being among the most populous and heavily Democratic counties in the state.  For the three counties, Biden holds a lead of 365,289 votes over Trump.  In the state overall, Biden holds a lead of about 20,540 votes at 49.6 percent, compared to Trump at 48.9 percent as of Saturday.  The Trump campaign has signaled it will request a recount.

Based on Reports By Auditors, IT Specialists, Data Analysts, and Statisticians — The Number of Illegitimate Votes Identified In Four Swing States Are Enough to Overturn Election.  In a little over a week, groups of volunteer IT specialists, Data Analysts, Auditors and more, have uncovered enough potential fraud to overturn the 2020 Election.  Over the past week, groups of professionals have gathered to ensure election integrity was present in the 2020 election.  These groups of Trump and America loving patriots are working on their own time and digging into election data to identify potential evidence of fraud.  Despite the MSM promoting a group of 'experts' claiming this was 'the most secure election ever', the real evidence indicates a total different story.  In just a week we have uncovered enough potentially fraudulent activities and votes to overturn the 2020 election.

Why Pennsylvania Doesn't Add Up.  The morning of the election, Donald Trump trailed Joe Biden in the RealClearPolitics national average by 7 percent.  The actual difference (as I write) is 3.4 percent.  Trump outperformed by 3.6 percent.  Everyone in Pennsylvania figured Trump would achieve at least a 5 percent overperformance in Pennsylvania polls, especially given Trump's relentless campaigning here, his booming popularity, and Biden's (not to mention Kamala Harris's) suicidal statements on the energy and fracking industry.  The RCP average for Pennsylvania the morning of the election was Biden +1.2 percent, with Trump besting Biden in three of the latest polls by Susquehanna (+1), Insider Advantage (+2), and Trafalgar (+2).  Trump was surging; the man was on fire in Pennsylvania.  And how did Trump ultimately do in Pennsylvania?  He's currently losing to Biden by 0.8 percent (49.8 to 49.0 percent).  In other words, Donald Trump vastly outperformed his numbers nationally but vastly underperformed them in Pennsylvania.  And if you believe that, then I have a thousand acres of farmland to sell you in Philadelphia.

Steve Cortes Discusses "The Election of Statistical Improbabilities" — GA With 95,000 Biden Only Votes.  Steve Cortes had a good common sense discussion with Howie Carr yesterday about the statistical improbability of the 2020 election outcome.  This is one of those weird scenarios where everyone knows that nothing seems legit; everyone sees the results as opposite from the facts that were evident on the ground in the weeks leading up to the "ballot counting"; yet the sketchy part contains so many issues, it seems overwhelming.  Did 95,000 Georgia voters actually only vote for Biden and no other candidate on their ballot?  Possible, but not likely.  Why in 2020 is the percentage of discounted flawed ballots so much lower in the key states than in all elections?  None of the statistical reviews make any common sense... and yet the media demands we accept their narrative.  "Resistance" in 2016 was a patriotic movement, but in 2020 the demands from the power control officers is exactly opposite.  The contrast is making the nation even more angry.

Detroit contracted poll workers from firm owned by key figure in ex-mayor's corruption case.  When the city of Detroit needed workers to staff its election center this fall, it turned to a familiar figure in city politics: lawyer and entrepreneur William A. Phillips, whose name a few years earlier appeared often in the corruption case of disgraced and still-imprisoned ex-Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.  On Sept. 22, the city council approved a $1 million contract for Phillips' staffing firm P.I.E. Management, LLC to hire up to 2,000 workers to work the polls and staff the ballot counting machines.  "They will provide up to 2,000 employees (Detroit Residents) the ability to operate election equipment on Election Day as poll workers under the MiDeal Cooperative Agreement with the State," the city council boasted about P.I.E.  Dominion Voting Systems, which provides voting equipment and software for the city, also got fresh money that day for additional machines to count absentee ballots.

Justice probes Trump campaign claims of vote irregularities, could include military vote in Nevada.  Prior to Attorney General William Barr's recently issued memo authorizing federal prosecutors across the U.S. to investigate potential cases of voter fraud, the Justice Department had already begun probing two allegations of voting irregularities.  One allegation, from President Trump's campaign, was that thousands of individuals may have improperly voted in the election.  And the other, was a statement from a postal worker in Pennsylvania that a postmaster had issued instructions to backdate mail-in ballots even after Election Day.  Despite pending lawsuits filed by members of the Trump campaign and its allies alleging serious instances of voter fraud in key battleground states, Joe Biden continues to lead Trump by tens of thousands of votes in states including Nevada and Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania Secretary of State Won't Order Recount.  Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar (D) on Friday [11/13/2020] said she would not order a recount her state's election results as the Trump campaign attempts legal challenges in key battleground states.  The Pennsylvania Department of State said in a statement:  "Based on the unofficial returns submitted by all the counties to the Department of State, Secretary Boockvar has determined that she will not be ordering a recount and recanvass of the election returns in the counties, as no statewide candidate was defeated by one-half of one percent or less of the votes cast.  This includes the following races:  President of the United States, Attorney General, Auditor General, and State Treasurer."

Georgia GOP Chair Responds to Reports of Liberals Moving to State to Vote in Runoff Election.  Top Republicans in Georgia are calling on the state's board of elections and Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger to investigate individuals who may be moving to the state to vote during the upcoming runoff election for two U.S. Senate seats in January, following calls from prominent Democrats and media pundits.  Earlier this week, former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang, on Twitter, wrote that both he and his wife are moving to the Peach State to campaign for Democrats Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock against Sens. David Perdue (R-Ga.) and Loeffler (R-Ga.).  On Nov. 6, Yang suggested that Democrats from out of state should "get ready to head to Georgia" to "give Joe [Biden] a unified government."  He said there isn't much time remaining for absentee ballots to be mailed, which is Nov. 18 in the state.

2020 Election Fraud vs. 2016 Russia Collusion.  [Scroll down]  There are multiple lawsuits over voter fraud, hundreds of affidavits filed detailing thousands of incidents of voter fraud, multiple accusations of suspicious vote totals involving suspect vote-counting software, and recounts in the works.  Yet, team Biden seems certain that their perpetual basement dweller is indeed the president-elect.  And, as was the case in the Trump-Russia collusion delusion, a like-minded media is completely content to allow this charade to continue.  As Jay D. Homnick notes, this is a bit of a gambit on the part of Biden and his presidential apologists. [...] This game can only be played so long.  There is one lever that can force the media into noticing there is a problem, and can awaken the Biden legal team from hibernation.  That is, the Georgia hand recount, due to begin today [11/14/2020] and end by November 20.

NAACP Motion to Intervene in PA Lawsuit Presents Evidence That State/County Officials Violated PA Election Laws.  [Scroll down]  "Pre-canvassing" of mail-in ballots is defined in Pennsylvania election law as allowing ballot envelopes to be opened, the ballot removed, and the votes tabulated.  The difference between "pre-canvassing" and "canvassing" is that the Election Board may not make any public announcement of the results of pre-canvassing.  By statute in Pennsylvania, "pre-canvassing cannot begin prior to 7:00 am on election day.  Title 25 P.S. Sec. 3146.8(g)(1.1) states: ["]The county board of elections shall meet no earlier than seven o'clock A.M. on election day to pre-canvass all ballots received prior to the meeting. [...] No person observing, attending or participating in a pre-canvass meeting may disclose the results of any portion of any pre-canvass meeting prior to the close of the polls.["]  The complaint filed by the Trump Campaign alleges that County Boards of Election pre-canvassed ballots prior to 7:00 am on election day.  In doing so, they were able to identify voters whose ballots were defective and would be rejected.  Elections officials then disclosed that information to voters and others which resulted in the voter being allowed to cast a provisional ballot on election day.  The motion to intervene filed by the NAACP and others confirms, with testimonials from voters, that this illegal conduct did take place.

Pennsylvania Results Show a Statistically Impossible Pattern Behind Biden's Steal.  The fix is in.  The current results of the Presidential election in Pennsylvania reported to the public are fraudulent because they are nearly statistically impossible.  On election night President Trump totally ran away with the election in Pennsylvania.  President Trump was ahead of Joe Biden by nearly 700,000 votes!  It was an insurmountable lead.  What happened next was corrupt and criminal as the Democrats went about to steal Pennsylvania for Biden.  They took a Trump landslide and they criminally flipped it to Joe Biden.

I don't know what The Gateway Pundit is so excited about.  This has been well-known for at least a week.

Hillary Clinton Supporter Alan Dershowitz 'Trump Will Win the Pennsylvania Lawsuit'.  Alan Dershowitz believes in the Pennsylvania lawsuit.  As relayed by The Daily Wire, the outspoken Democrat and former Hillary Clinton donor told Breitbart News Tonight that the country's highest court will most likely take up the Commander-in-Chief's filing against PA.  The reason:  The state's court put into practice election law that hadn't been approved by its legislature.

Michigan State House Representatives Request Ballot Audit Before State Certification.  Today in Michigan two state house representatives have written a letter to the Secretary of State asking for an election audit ahead of the state certification for the 2020 election.  The likelihood of success is not high as the Secretary of State in Michigan is a participating Democrat in the ballot issues.

Huge Legal Victory for President Trump in Pennsylvania.  A judge in Pennsylvania has ruled in favor of the Trump campaign after concluding that ballots received after 8 p.m. on Election Day that were segregated should not be counted.  The judge also determined that Kathy Boockvar, the Pennsylvania secretary of the Commonwealth, lacked the "statutory authority" to change election law days before the election.  "[The] Court concludes that Respondent Kathy Boockvar, in her official capacity as Secretary of the Commonwealth, lacked statutory authority to issue the November 1, 2020, guidance to Respondents County Board of Elections insofar as that guidance purported to change the deadline in Section 1308(h) of the Pennsylvania Election Code [...] for certain electors to verify proof of identification, based on Secretary Boockvar's interpretation and application of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's decision in Pennsylvania Democratic Party v.  Boockvar," Judge Mary Hannah Leavitt's ruling reads.  "Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS that Respondents County Boards of Elections are enjoined from counting any ballots that have been segregated."

Why President Trump Has A Strong Supreme Court Case To Contest Pennsylvania.  As arguments about voter fraud have escalated across the country, it's time to recognize that despite what an unmitigated disaster widespread expansion of absentee balloting has been, concerns about its abuse aren't the most important argument in the ongoing fight over the legitimacy of this election.  Sure, the media and Big Tech's widespread white-washing and censoring of very real voter fraud concerns are damaging to the social fabric in existential ways, just as ignoring norms (and in some cases laws) requiring transparency destroys public trust and confidence in the outcome.  The Pennsylvania lawsuit isn't yet proof that election-altering fraud occurred, although it does present compelling evidence that if proved shatters the media narrative on election security.  A closer look at the allegations of direct fraud weighed against the likelihood of proving that enough occurred to alter the outcome — on a shortened timeline — reveals a daunting task for the president's legal team.

Software engineers report Dominion flipped 'minimum of 138,000 votes' from Trump to Biden in Michigan.  A bombshell analysis of four counties in Michigan has been released by a team of mathematical experts led by an MIT-educated scientist that concludes tens of thousands of votes were transferred from Donald Trump to Joe Biden in that state.  Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai, a mathematician, scientist and Fulbright scholar, teamed up with software engineers Bennie Smith and Phil Evans to conduct an analysis of voting data in Oakland, Macomb, Wayne and Kent counties in Michigan.  When officials detected a 6,000-vote switch from Trump to Biden in one sparsely populated Michigan county, Antrim County, they dismissed it as a "glitch."  Smith debunked that excuse as a bureaucratic fabrication.

Pro-Biden Bug Also Suspected in Georgia's Vote-Counting Software.  A curious thing happened as Fulton County, Ga., election officials counted mail-in ballots at Atlanta's State Farm Arena in the days after the election.  In the early hours of Nov. 5, a surge of some 20,000 mail-in votes suddenly appeared for Joe Biden, while approximately 1,000 votes for President Trump mysteriously disappeared from his own totals in the critical swing state, where Biden holds a razor-thin lead.  A poll watcher noticed the suspicious shift in votes while monitoring the interim election results on the Georgia secretary of state website.  "I concluded from looking at these results that this was an irregularity, since there was no obvious reason for President Trump's totals to have decreased while former Vice President Biden's totals increased dramatically," Voter GA co-founder Garland Favorito swore in an affidavit he filed this week with the secretary of state's office.

Arizona's Top Election Official Once Called Trump's Supporters Neo-Nazis.  The official who is responsible for certifying the election in Arizona is a staunch NeverTrumper who once said President Trump panders to his "neo-Nazi base."  Katie Hobbs, Arizona's Secretary of State, registered her disgust with the president and his supporters on Twitter in August of 2017. [...] Since the election, Hobbs has emerged as somewhat of a "media darling," appearing on numerous local news and national news outlets to assure voters — including the ones she called neo-nazis — that there were absolutely no voting irregularities in her state.

Trump's Pennsylvania complaint is brilliant.  The complaint filed in Pennsylvania by the Trump campaign is a superb piece of legal craftsmanship.  It was filed in federal court, not state.  The gist is that some of the state's actions, and particularly the exclusion of Republican poll-watchers during the counting of hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots, violated federal constitutional requirements.  The point is obvious enough once one thinks of it, but it's brilliant all the same.  It shifts the focus from state law, where a politicized Pennsylvania court has the last word, to federal law, where the U.S. Supreme Court rules. [...] It is hard to count all the constitutional guarantees violated here:  Equal Protection, Due Process, Privileges and Immunities.  Indeed, the complaint stacks up the Supreme Court precedents supporting its arguments, including the long line of ringing statements in the chain of one-person-one-vote decisions.

Pennsylvania Judge Rules in Favor of Trump Campaign.  A Pennsylvania judge has ruled in favor of the Trump campaign by concluding segregated ballots should not be counted.  Further, the judge found that Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar lacked the "statutory authority" to change election law just days before Election Day.  "[The] Court concludes that Repsondent Kathy Boockvar, in her official capacity as Secretary of the Commonwealth, lacked statutory authority to issue the November 1, 2020, guidance to Respondents County Board of Elections insofar as that guidance purported to change the deadline in Section 1308(h) of the Pennsylvania Election Code... for certain electors to verify proof of identification, based on Secretary Boockvar's interpretation and application oof the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's decision in Pennsylvania Democratic Party v. Boockvar," the ruling states.  "Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS that Respondents County Boards of Elections are enjoined from counting any ballots that have been segregated."

Maricopa County AZ GOP Chair Resigns After Failing To Certify Dominion Voting Machines.  Maricopa County, Arizona GOP Chair Rae Chorenky has been forced to resign after failing to sign the Certificate of Accuracy for voting machines made by Dominion — which have come under recent scrutiny for security vulnerabilities, as well as flipped votes in Antrim County, Michigan (which was later blamed on "human error"). [...] Adding to suspicions over Dominion machines is a September 30 report in the Philadelphia Inquirer that "a laptop and several memory sticks" used to program voting machines in Philadelphia had mysteriously vanished.

Michigan State GOP Lawmakers Ask for Full Election Audit.  Republican state senators in Michigan are requesting a full audit of the 2020 general election after allegations of election improprieties and irregularities.  "Every citizen deserves to have faith in the integrity of the election process and outcome.  It is our responsibility, as elected public servants, to assure the people of Michigan of the process's integrity through complete transparency and the faithful investigation of any allegations of wrongdoing, fraud, or abuse," the lawmakers wrote to Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson.

Statistics: Evidence of Malfeasance in Reporting of Election Totals?  You might have seen reports in the last several days regarding evidence of fraud in ballot totals reported in the presidential election.  There is a statistical relationship known as "Benford's Law" which states that for many real-world distributions of numbers, the frequency distribution of the first digit of those numbers follows a regular pattern.  It has been used by the IRS and financial institutions to detect fraud.  It should be emphasized that such statistical analysis cannot prove fraud.  But given careful analysis including the probability of getting results substantially different from what is theoretically-expected, I think it is a useful tool.  Its utility is especially increased if there is little or no evidence of fraud for one candidate, but strong evidence of fraud from another candidate, across multiple cities or multiple states.

Trey Trainor to Newsmax TV: Voter Fraud Is Taking Place.  Chair of the Federal Election Commission Trey Trainor believes voter fraud is taking place in states still counting ballots.  During a Friday appearance on Newsmax TV's "National Report," Trainor said locations not granting observers access to watch the ballot counting process could be involved in voter fraud.  "I do believe that there is voter fraud taking place in these places," he said.  "Otherwise they would allow the observers to go in."  Despite winning a court order, which allows the Trump campaign to send observers to watch ballot counting in Pennsylvania from six feet away, Trainor said ballot watchers "have not been allowed into the polling locations in a meaningful way."  He said when observers have been permitted to watch, the goalpost has been moved away from the six feet required by the court order.

Applying the 'Fruit of the Poisonous Tree' Doctrine to Election Fraud.  [Scroll down]  If it can be shown that proper election rules were violated this November, that the counting of ballots was done in violation of legal technicalities — especially, if it can be shown that such violations were perpetrated deliberately and, even more so, over the protestations of one side — that alone should be grounds for requiring that new elections be held.  Of course that theory may not mean that the election automatically should be awarded to the other side, the victimized side, but at the very least it should justify ordering new elections in states like Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.

Big Data to the Rescue:  The Electoral College Meets Data Pattern Science.  [Scroll down]  When subject to statistical analysis against known patterns, industrial fraud stands out like a dinosaur walking through a field of peanut butter.  It is unmistakable.  Is such analysis proof?  Yes, it is proof that there is an anomaly of such proportions that it must be investigated.  And this isn't hard.  Remember, all the data you need to do the analysis is after-the-fact voting data.  You do not need to see a single ballot.  Like Andrea's subjects, you just need to know that in precinct after precinct, there is an unmistakable pattern that the more people vote for Trump over Biden the greater the number of Trump votes the counting machines scoop from Trump to Biden.  The pattern is one that can only be done by machines, like a computer.  There are too many transactions, with too straight a line, across too many precincts, to be the guys with the ballot boxes arriving in the middle of the night.  They are extra fraud.  What's next?  Industrial fraud must then be summarized in a picture or two that anyone, even a state legislator, can understand.  No matter its strength, it will not be understood by Fox News.

Tens of Thousands of Pennsylvania Ballots Returned Earlier Than Sent Date:  Researcher.  More than 20,000 absentee ballots in Pennsylvania have impossible return dates and another more than 80,000 have return dates that raise questions, according to a researcher's analysis of the state's voter database.  Over 51,000 ballots were marked as returned just a day after they were sent out — an extraordinary speed, given U.S. Postal Service (USPS) delivery times, while nearly 35,000 were returned on the same day they were mailed out.  Another more than 23,000 have a return date earlier than the sent date.  More than 9,000 have no sent date. [...] The researcher, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said he consulted about the matter with several USPS field engineers, who said the return dates shown in the database are "impossible."

Giuliani: 650,000 Votes Were Counted Unlawfully In Philadelphia And Pittsburgh.  Rudy Giuliani, one of President Donald Trump's personal lawyers, alleged on Nov. 11 that roughly 650,000 unlawful ballots were cast in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  Speaking with Fox Business' Lou Dobbs, Giuliani claimed that "almost none" of the hundreds of thousands of ballots were observed by Republican poll watchers.  State election law requires the presence of poll watchers from all parties.  "We now are up to a count of about 650,000 ballots that are unlawful ballots that were cast in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh," he said.  "What's being said in the mass media, that we have no evidence, is a complete, absolute lie, just like they've been lying for years."

Breaking: Michigan Legislature Calls For "Full Audit" Of 2020 Election, Cites Voter Fraud.  On Thursday [11/12/2020], Republican senators in the Michigan legislature called on Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson to conduct a "full audit" of the 2020 election.  The letter was signed by Tom Barrett and Lana Theis, two state senators, who urged Benson to delay certifying the final results of the election until a full audit was conducted.  "Every citizen deserves to have faith in the integrity of the election process and its outcome.  It is our responsibility, as elected public servants, to assure the people of Michigan of the process's integrity through complete transparency and the faithful investigation of any allegations of wrongdoing, fraud, or abuse," the senators wrote.  "Unfortunately, a number of serious allegations have been made which cannot and should not be ignored."

The disputed elections must recounted properly, or the states should refuse to certify the results.  The amount of evidence that there was clear election fraud in the states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, and Wisconsin continues to build.  For example, in Pennsylvania a review of absentee ballots found that 100,000 had suspicious postmarks, with 23,000 apparently postmarked one day but then marked by the election authorities as having arrived the day before, an impossibility.  Tens of thousands of other absentee ballots had similar problems.  In Michigan numerous residents and poll workers have signed affidavits describing blatant violations of election law and suspicious behavior.  In addition, one contractor witnessed poll workers rescanning the same votes repeatedly, essentially double counting those votes.  In Wisconsin thousands of absentee votes were submitted in a manner that required no voter identification.  In Georgia there is evidence that the software used to count the ballots is corrupted, or was corrupted, ending up switching many votes from Trump to Biden in what they innocently claim was merely a "glitch."  Worse, this "glitch" in election software has now been found to be exist in other states as well.

Text messages cast doubt on Georgia officials' 'burst pipe' excuse for pause in counting.  Officials in Georgia have not been able to produce any invoices or work orders related to a "burst pipe" at Atlanta's State Farm Arena that was blamed for an abrupt pause in vote counting on election night.  The only evidence for the burst pipe, released under freedom-of-information laws, was a text message exchange in which one senior employee at the stadium described it as "highly exaggerated ... a slow leak that caused about an hour and a half delay" and that "we contained it quickly — it did not spread".  "Beyond the lack of documentary evidence of the inspection or repair of a ruptured pipe, we are being asked to believe that there is not one single picture of this allegedly ruptured pipe, at a time and in a place where virtually everything is recorded and documented," Georgia lawyer Paul Dzikowski, who obtained the text messages, told news.com.au in an email on Wednesday night [11/11/2020].

Georgia to complete election audit by next week amid fraud claims.  Election officials in Georgia stated the hand recount process will be completed by next week.  In a news conference on Thursday [11/12/2020], officials said they received numerous reports of voting irregularities that may have swayed the election.  They stressed Joe Biden is currently leading President Trump by only 14,000 votes and stated that instances of fraud are possible.  Georgia officials also rejected Democrat accusations of political bias behind their decision to recount.

[Surprising results] In Georgia.  [Scroll down]  What makes these numbers even more staggering is that we have already awarded ALL of the new voters to Biden for argument's sake and Trump still saw increases over 2016, by double-digit percentages in 3 of the 4 counties.  Trump increased in EVERY county in Georgia except 2, and Biden underperformed Obama in more than 40% of counties in the state.  Trump's gains were across the board.  Biden's were isolated.  For instance, if we were to normalize these massive increases, or even just divide the increase above ALL registered voters, Trump would win Georgia.

The Simplest, Most Important Issue Regarding the 2020 Election.  To have a free and fair election, the counting of the votes must be performed in a completely transparent manner.  It is not enough to have independent observers, since "independent" observers may be biased in favor of one side or the other.  The candidates on the ballot must have an opportunity to have observers whom they choose to oversee the entire process so the candidates are satisfied that they won or lost a free and fair election.  That is not what happened in the 2020 election.  That is the single most important and simple fact that needs to be understood and communicated.  The 2020 election was not a free and fair election, because poll-watchers were not allowed to do their essential job.  The 2020 election can still be a free and fair election with a clear winner, whoever that may be, but time is running out.

Philadelphia's Election Follies.  Pennsylvania's vote-counting ended late on Election Night with President Trump in the lead, but the counting picked up again in the wee hours, when boxes of mail-in ballots suddenly materialized.  The extra ballots were counted at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, where Biden-Harris activists wasted no time in organizing a street watch rally dubbed "Count Every Vote." [...] Meantime, inside the Convention Center, the people charged with overseeing the counting of mail-in ballots, Democrat and Republican alike, struggled to see what was going on.  Observers had to stand behind metal gates, some as far as 25 feet away, while people at desks on the other side sorted ballots.  The observers could see only the motion of hands scribbling on paper; what they were scribbling was not visible.  One group of observers used small binoculars to get what they hoped would be a bird's eye view of the ballot-counting.

Atlanta's Election Day Pipe Dream.  Election Day 2020 was unusual for several predictable reasons involving high in-person turnout and veritable avalanches of mail-in ballots.  One exceptionally odd event, however, took everyone by surprise — vote counting suddenly stopped for hours in several key swing states late Tuesday night.  One of these mysterious halts occurred in Fulton County, Georgia, where election officials insisted that a broken water pipe necessitated a four-hour delay before counting of absentee ballots could resume.  Yet evidence for what would have been quite a serious plumbing issue has been strangely elusive.  There doesn't appear to be any paperwork involving this leak. [...] Why would any state send its election workers home at 10:30 pm due to a plumbing problem that had been repaired 14 hours earlier?  For the same reason several other swing states did so.  On November 3, CNN reported, "Election officials in some states called it a night and planned to resume the count in the morning."  Among them were Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan.

True the Vote Lawsuit:  Dead People, Felons Voted Illegally in Michigan.  The election integrity group True the Vote is suing Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI) and county officials in Wayne County, Washtenaw County, and Ingham County, Michigan, alleging that dead people and felons voted illegally in the presidential election.  The lawsuit, filed on Thursday [11/12/2020], is seeking to invalidate ballots in counties where they allege widespread illegal ballots and fraudulent ballot-counting took place.  The lawsuit cites reports claiming that about 10,000 dead people returned mail-in ballots to vote in Michigan.

The 2020 Election:  Fact or Fiction?  All too many people, on the right as well as the left, are acting as if Joe Biden has won the 2020 election, when they must know that, as of this moment, he has not.  Given the accumulating evidence of illegal maneuvers and documented corruption amounting to massive election fraud — duplicate voting, mail-in voting subject to pervasive manipulation, ballot harvesting, illegal voting, deceased voting, trashing of Trump votes, censorship and spreading of misinformation via the media and Big Tech, miscounting, forging of signatures, granny farming, "creative voting," extending of mail-in deadlines (i.e., moving the goalposts), failure to update software, and so on — it's a sweet deal for the Democrats and it gets even sweeter.

2020 Election Fraud on Steroids.  The media has no right to select a President.  This falls exclusively under the domain of the American people.  Anyone who has been paying attention should not be surprised that we are currently dealing with election fraud.  But the current situation has reached a significant and unprecedented scale. [...] Sydney Powell is an attorney for the president.  You may also recognize her as the attorney for General Michael Flynn.  She has been lead counsel in 500+ federal appeals cases, 350 of which were as an Assistant U.S. Attorney.  Past president of the American Appellate Lawyers and Bar Association of the Fifth Appellate Circuit, member of the American Law Institute, and author of several books.  She brings much credibility to the table.  Powell claims to have hard evidence has been and will continue to be submitted in lawsuits filed in several battleground states.  Besides the usual voting by the deceased, several other issues appear significant.  Powell states that they have over 450,000 ballots from key states with only Biden selected and no down-ballot votes.  That would not only be extraordinarily odd but also mathematically impossible.

Pennsylvania Mail-In Ballot Snafu Is Ripe For The U.S. Supreme Court To Intervene.  An exclusive interview establishes the Pennsylvania vote has major constitutional problems.  Joe Kantz, the chairman of the Snyder County Commission and the chairman of the Board of Elections for more than 10 years, spoke with me yesterday about the last-minute changes the Pennsylvania secretary for elections and commissions issued.  As detailed below, those changes strongly suggest that the electorally rich state the media has called for Joe Biden might have violated the Equal Protection Clause and Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the U.S. Constitution.  On election morning, as his team began pre-canvass activities, an out-of-state Democratic poll watcher pressured Kantz to provide him identification numbers for voters who had failed to include their ballots in the internal secrecy sleeve required by Pennsylvania law.  These so-called naked ballots are invalid under Pennsylvania law.

Trump Supporters Plan To March On Washington In Protest Of Election Fraud.  One week after crowded gatherings outside of the White House following the mainstream media's projection of former Vice President Joe Biden's presidential victory, multiple pro-Trump organizations are scheduled to hold protests, caravans, and marches in the nation's capital city on Saturday to support President Donald Trump and protest election fraud.  Several groups known as Women for Trump, Million MAGA March, and Stop the Steal DC are planning organized gatherings near the White House and down the National Mall.

Pennsylvania Court Rules Secretary of State Improperly Changed Deadline 2 Days Before Election Day.  A Pennsylvania judge ruled in favor of President Donald Trump's campaign on Thursday, saying Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar overstepped her authority to change an election deadline two days before Election Day last week.  "The Court concludes that Respondent Kathy Boockvar, in her official capacity as Secretary of the Commonwealth, lacked statutory authority to issue the November 1, 2020, guidance to Respondents County Boards of Elections insofar as that guidance purported to change the deadline ... for certain electors to verify proof of identification," Judge Mary Hannah Leavitt wrote in her order on Thursday afternoon [11/12/2020].  Boockvar, a Democrat, submitted guidance saying proof of identification could be provided to vote up until Nov. 12.  State law stipulates that voters have until Nov. 9 to deal with problems regarding a lack of proof of identification.  Boockvar, the top election official in the state, issued the guidance after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled mail-in ballots could be accepted three days following Nov. 3.  Boockvar issued the new guidance on Nov. 1, two days before Election Day.  Trump's lawyers had argued that the secretary had no power to unilaterally change the date.

"There is tons of evidence that Hundreds of Thousands of ballots are going to have to be discarded".  [Quoting] Sidney Powell: ["]It's just stunning Maria and then we have statistical evidence that we haven't even brought out yet.  My next venture is to explain the statistical anomalies to show it was statistically impossible for this election to come out the way it did.  It's just mathematically impossible for all the people who love science the math is dispostive. [...] Well it's a little bit complicated to explain but we have evidence of the same number of ballots or same number of votes being injected into the Wisconsin system and into the Michigan system three different times.  I think there were two different injections of exactly the same numbers in Michigan and then in Milwaukee it happened three times...  Needless to say time is of the absolute essence...  On top of that we have several states where they did not follow the law established by their legislature.  That's a whole separate issue...  We have four states who have deviated significantly from what the legislature told them to do... pallets of ballots coming in the back door.["]

Trump Drops Bombshell Tweet, Alleges 2.7 Million Trump Votes Were Deleted.  On Thursday [11/12/2020], President Donald Trump dropped a bombshell tweet where he claimed that 2.7 million of his votes were deleted and given to former Vice President Joe Biden. [...] The comment from President Trump comes after former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been blowing the whistle on Dominion software.  During an interview on Wednesday with Steve Bannon on War Room, Giuliani dropped a bombshell where he announced that whistleblowers would soon be coming forward about the Dominion election software.

Report: President Trump could seek to block certification of disputed results.  The Trump campaign could be looking to block election officials from finalizing results in contested states as a legal battle continues to be waged over voter fraud.  According to reports Wednesday [11/11/2020], the President's team could take this legal route in order to deny Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden the change to a victory.  This comes as the team has filed lawsuits in Nevada, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Michigan.  President Trump has raised concerns over rampant "voting irregularities" in these key battleground states.

Electronic vote fraud equation revealed:  In Michigan in 4 counties 138,000 Fake votes for Biden.  A "Transistor Function" algorithm has been used to alter voting patterns in Michigan.  It has a "Weighted Race" feature.  Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai, an MIT engineer and Fulbright Scholar, with Phil Evans B.S.E.E. and Benny Smith (election commissioner and data analyst) have back-analyzed the pattern of voting in Michigan and figured out the electronic algorithm used to alter votes.  Voting patterns are distorted in a way that can only be explained by a linear transformation (an algebraic equation) and he can approximate that equation and slope of the line.  This means he can calculate how many votes were flipped and he does, and it's massive.  This one form of fraud alone is enough to flip the election to Biden.  That's without all the postal vote backdating, the dead people voting, the out of state votes, the discarded ballots, the crooked media coverups, the pollsters fakery and the Pfizer hiding of the Covid Vaccine news.  Trump won the election despite all the other trickery.  If there had been real media coverage, honest vaccine headlines, exposure of Hunter Biden and honest polling the election probably could have been called by 8pm on Election day.  [Video clip]

Pennsylvania received 10,000 mail-in ballots after polls closed on Election Day.  Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar revealed on Tuesday [11/10/2020] that roughly 10,000 mail-in ballots were received between when the polls closed on Nov. 3 at 8 p.m. and Friday at 5 p.m., the time window considered a grace period after a controversial state Supreme Court ruling.  Many of the 94,000 provisional ballots also mentioned by the Democratic official are still being counted, according to PennLive.com, and 49,000 ballots cast by mail and arrived before polls closed have yet to be tallied.

Pennsylvania GOP Legislature Launches Investigation Into Election.  This election is far from over — and, as per the Constitution, the Pennsylvania legislature is highly aware of its constitutional duty in the selection of presidential electors.  This announcement comes as the Trump campaign has filed an 86-page lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania — which includes the state capital of Harrisburg.  The title: Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. v. Boockvar.  (Kathy Boockvar is the Democratic Secretary of State as appointed by Democrat Gov. Tom Wolf.)  The other defendants listed are the boards of elections in seven Pennsylvania counties:  Allegheny (Pittsburgh), Centre (State College, home of Penn State), Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery (three of the four suburban counties that wrap Philadelphia), Northampton, and Philadelphia — seven of the 13 of Pennsylvania's 67 counties that are listed in the Biden column.  Among other things, the lawsuit says that "Every legal — not illegal — vote should be counted."  It charges that ["]Allegheny and Philadelphia Counties alone received and processed 682,479 mail-in and absentee ballots without review by the political parties and candidates.  These are unprecedented numbers in Pennsylvania's elections history.  Rather than engaging in an open and transparent process to give credibility to Pennsylvania's brand-new voting system, the processes were hidden during the receipt, review, opening, and tabulation of those 682,479 votes in direct contravention of the Election Code.["]  The lawsuit goes on to say in specificity how "Democratic-heavy counties violated the mandates of the (Pennsylvania) Election Code."

I Was In Philadelphia Watching Fraud Happen.  Here's How It Went Down.  Legacy media are lying when they claim that all of President Trump's allegations of voter fraud are baseless.  I know, because I argued a case on the president's behalf in federal court in Philadelphia.  At issue was President Trump's request for an order changing the way Pennsylvania absentee and mail-in ballots are being reviewed at the Philadelphia Convention Center.  CNN and others claim he "lost." That's false:  he won.  As I made that argument on behalf of the president's campaign, I can tell you what really happened.  President Trump went to court about two problems:  First, only a handful of Republican observers — substantially fewer than the Democrats had there — were being admitted to the room at the Philadelphia Convention Center where inspections were being conducted.  Second, the few who could get in weren't permitted to get close enough to see what was actually happening.  The most important questions all have to ask are:  Why all the hiding?  What's being hidden?  At the Convention Center counting location, I personally observed dozens of Trump campaign volunteers being barred from the counting room even though they'd been properly registered as observers.  That's why I urged Pam Bondi and Corey Lewandowski, who were on the scene, to authorize the filing of a request that a federal court order the Board of Elections to stop this nonsense.

GOP Michigan poll watchers swear they incurred 'intimidation' and 'threats of assault'.  Republicans working as credentialed poll challengers in Michigan said in sworn affidavits that they experienced intimidation and insults from poll workers and others while absentee votes were being tabulated.  The sworn accounts about the state's vote count are part of a lawsuit that President Trump's reelection campaign filed in federal court on Tuesday evening.  The lawsuit contains several accusations of election fraud in Wayne County, the county that houses Detroit, Michigan's biggest city and a Democratic stronghold.  The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan and seeks to keep the state from certifying its results until the voting process can be reviewed.  A poll challenger is like a poll watcher but is credentialed and has more rights to challenge election procedures.  Dozens of affidavits were contained within the corpus of the lawsuit.  One exhibit contained 234 pages of both typed and handwritten affidavits from Republican challengers, most of whom recounted their experience at Detroit's TCF Center.

IT Contractor for Dominion Ballot Counting Software Co.  Exposes Massive Ballot Fraud in Detroit Michigan.  If what Ms. Mellissa Carone outlines is true, this would explain how the ballots in Michigan were manipulated.  Ms. Carone was a contracted worker for Dominion a company providing software services for ballot counting machines in Detroit.  Carone was sent to Detroit, Michigan, to provide technical support for the ballot counting process.  While she was there she noted poll workers repeatedly double scanning ballots to generate multiple votes from the same batch of ballot sheets.  When she reported this to her employer, Mr. Nick Ikonomakis of Dominion, Carone was told it was not her role to review what the poll workers are doing; essentially to ignore it.  Ms. Carone also witnessed election workers filling out ballots, fraudulently signing ballots, as well as the unloading of vans in an area of the Detroit election tabulation facility she was not permitted to inspect.  Ms Carone was on Fox Business with Lou Dobbs to explain part of what she witnessed.  [Video clip]

Some Weird Stuff Happened In That Election.  [Scroll down]  First, if Democrats have nothing to hide, why are they hiding things?  Observers removed from counting centers seems like a big deal, especially in areas where Democrats dominate and, miraculously, had record Democrat turnout levels in heavily minority areas for an old, rich white guy who barely bothered to campaign.  Seems unlikely that Joe Biden would inspire more black voters to vote than Barack Obama did, doesn't it? [...] Second, why were only Republican poll watchers removed from counting rooms?  Have you seen any stories from Republican-controlled areas of liberals getting the boot?  Were there any places controlled by Republicans where turnout was well beyond normal?  These curiosities seem to have only occurred where Democrats run the show.  What are the odds?  Next, we have to ask how it is possible so many people have signed sworn affidavits saying they witnessed fraud. [...] Where were the stories of massive lines in Wisconsin?  If they had between 80 to 90 percent turnout, shouldn't there have been some long waits somewhere?  Yes, a lot may have voted by mail, but even with that there would be lines.

Trump campaign highlights examples of dead people voting in Georgia.  President Trump's campaign highlighted examples Wednesday [11/11/2020] of dead people registering to vote in Georgia, a contested swing state where presumptive President-elect Joseph R. Biden currently holds the lead.  The Trump campaign has alleged widespread voter fraud as the president refuses to concede the election to Mr. Biden after several media outlets on Saturday named the Democrat as the winner of the Nov. 3 election.  The president's campaign claimed Deborah Jean Christiansen from Roswell, a suburb of Atlanta, passed away in May of 2019, yet someone registered her to vote Oct. 5, the day after the state's deadline to register.

The Editor says...
For the moment, let's disregard the nickel-and-dime dead people voting.  What about that out-of-state van with tens of thousands of Biden-only ballots that arrived at 4:00 a.m. in Detroit?  What about the voting machines that were connected to the internet?  What about the thousands of Trump votes simultaneously flipping to Biden in the middle of the night?

Data Analysts Claim Glitches Similar to Those in Michigan May Have Occurred All Over the Country.  Based on a large data scrape from Edison research, a data analyst alleges that software glitches like the ones that occurred in Oakland county and Antrim county Michigan, could have happened all over the country.  Other forensic data scientists analyzed the raw data from specific counties in battleground states, replicated the output, and corroborated that something 'fishy' was definitely happening with recorded vote tallies in many counties across the United States.  The analyst created a program to comb through the data to gather all instances where votes switched from Trump to Biden.  [I]n his breakdown, 'lost votes' means that the total amount of votes counted decreased by that amount throughout the counting.  The analyst stated that he has performed this test in states that use Dominion Voting Systems so far.

Project Veritas Releases Full, Unedited, Audio of USPS Whistleblower Coercive Interrogation.  Project Veritas has released the full, unedited, audio of U.S. Postal Service whistleblower Richard Hopkins being questioned by federal authorities after he disclosed ballot manipulation in Erie, Pennsylvania.  The interview was conducted by USPS Office of The Inspector General, Russell Strasser, and Postal Inspector Charles "Chris" Klein.  This is the interview where the Washington Post falsely reported that whistleblower Hopkins recanted his statement.  [Video clip]

I Did Not Recant!' Postal whistleblower in Pennsylvania disputes claims by media that he recanted.  In a confusing series of events Tuesday [11/10/2020], claims of voter fraud made by a mail carrier in Erie, Pa., were left somewhat muddied.  Postal worker Richard Hopkins alleged that he overheard a postmaster telling staff to backdate ballots mailed after the Election Day deadline.  Amid reports he recanted his allegation, Hopkins appeared on video to double down on his claims.  The Democrat-run House Oversight Committee cited the U.S. Postal Service's Office of the Inspector General to claim that Hopkins "completely recanted" his allegations. [...] With the media working feverishly to dispel any thoughts about voter fraud, the Washington Post reported that in addition to recanting his allegations in a sworn affidavit, Hopkins admitted to postal investigators that he fabricated his claims of voting irregularities.  The newspaper cited "three officials briefed on the investigation" — rest assured these officials are very likely Democrats eager to muddy the waters amid an election that has been marred by allegations of voter fraud, brought on in part by millions of unsolicited mail-in ballots flooding battleground states.

Every MSM Outlet:  Postal Voting Fraud Whistleblower Recants!  Whistleblower:  No I Didn't!  We've reached the point in the post-election cycle where the mainstream media is so desperate to make Democrats' election fraud for Joe Biden stick that they're not just ignore election fraud stories, they're outright lying about them.  Take for example the recent news story of a U.S. postal worker whistleblower Richard Hopkins recanting his accusations of being instructed to backdate ballots.  Just one tiny little flaw in the story:  he did no such thing.

New York Times Columnist Urges Democrats to Commit Voter Fraud in Georgia.  New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman urged national Democrats to move to Georgia and vote in its upcoming Senate runoff elections — a clear violation of state law, should the voters leave after the races conclude.  "I hope everybody moves to Georgia, you know, in the next month or two, registers to vote, and votes for these two Democratic senators," Friedman said during a Monday-night CNN appearance.  Georgia election law does not include a length-of-residency requirement in order to vote in the state.  It does, however, prohibit prospective voters from "residing in the state briefly with the intention just to vote and then move away."  "You do not have to establish residency for a period of time before an election in order to qualify to vote, but you do have to establish intent to remain a resident," Honest Elections Project executive director Jason Snead told the Washington Free Beacon.

Dominion.  Today I'd like to delve a little deeper into Dominion Votings Systems, the company under scrutiny right now.  Actually Dominion came under scrutiny back in 2016 after the Trump election for some irregularities.  Congress held hearings on voting machine companies and Dominion was spotlighted. [...] The company is used in 28 states including every single key state being called into question right now.  Every.  State.  The company's services are used in North Carolina, Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Georgia.  In fact, Georgia was the only state in the country to revamp its entire voting system in 2019, spending $106 million for Dominion's machines, printers and scanners.  The former chief of staff Jared Thomas for Georgia's Republican Governor Brian Kemp now works as a lobbyist for Dominion.  At the time of the overhaul, The New York Times reported that some Democrats in the Georgia Legislature opposed purchasing the system but there is "some evidence that heavy lobbying and sales tactics have played a role in their adoption in Georgia and elsewhere."

Trump Lawsuit Alleges Rampant Violations at Detroit Vote Counting Center.  President Donald Trump's reelection campaign sued Michigan in federal court late on Nov. 10, alleging pervasive violations of election laws at a vote-counting center in Detroit.  The lawsuit is accompanied by 234 pages of sworn witness affidavits that describe how Republican poll challengers were prevented from having adequate access to observe the counting process in violation of Michigan's election code.  The witnesses detail a battery of problems with the handling, processing, and counting of the votes, including instances in which election officials ignored their challenges.

When computers cheat, they inevitably leave evidence behind.  You should learn three main things from this post:  (1) the Supreme Court can consider statistical evidence of fraud and can order a new election.  (2) Most of the computers used for voting in America have a built-in mechanism that allows votes to be weighted in favor of a candidate.  (3) If someone does tell a computer to mess with the election outcome, the computer's processes will inevitably create unnatural data trails that prove human intervention in vote counts — and that's what happened in three Michigan counties.

Examining the code, internet geeks conclude 'Trump's win was yuuuge'.  Around 1:30 in the morning of Nov. 4, when I went to bed, Trump was leading in the vote count in two Midwest swing states I was closely watching, Wisconsin — about 2%, and Michigan — about 3%, well on his way to an "unexpected" election victory nationwide.  Around 4:30 A.M., I woke early and decided to catch up on the election results on my iPhone, being careful not to wake my wife.  Imagine my surprise to see that, overnight, Trump's lead had shrunk to less than 1% in Wisconsin and about 1.5% in Michigan.  But what really startled me was that Biden's raw vote total had increased substantially in both states, and Trump's raw vote total had not changed at all!  That is an enormous red flag for fraud being committed, and I knew right away that the Democrats, who had failed at dislodging Trump from office by impeachment, were now going to deny him victory by stealing the election.  Further confirmation came when I saw the pictures and video of mystery bags and boxes being dragged into Detroit's TCF Center at 4 A.M., followed by the windows in the room being boarded up and by the ejection of Republican poll-watchers.

Concede Nothing — There Is No 'President-Elect' Yet.  [Scroll down]  In just the past few days, fresh news stories of widespread and wide-ranging vote-rigging schemes, particularly in vital swing-states, have broken as fast as Pro-Joe Media can ignore them and Twitter can block them.  To name just a few, I offer ballot-scanner misreads and software "glitches," all miraculously changing Trump votes to Biden votes as well as dozens (and growing) of sworn affidavits by eyewitnesses of magically appearing Biden ballots and mysteriously disappearing Trump ballots, often at the hands of corrupt election officials.  Speaking of whom, have you heard the story of Richard Hopkins, a Pennsylvania postal employee who blew the whistle on Postmaster Rob Weisenbach's order to backdate late ballots to Nov. 3?  News of Hopkins's conversations with federal investigators apparently prompted the WaPo to publish a hit-piece on him, wrongfully claiming he had recanted his allegations — something he fervently denies.

How to Steal an Election.  On election night, Trump was ahead in Pennsylvania by roughly 690,000 votes with 64 percent of the vote counted, before his lead disappeared on Friday.  In Michigan, Trump was winning by nearly 300,000 votes, with 65 percent of the votes recorded, before he ended up losing the state on Wednesday.  In Georgia, Trump was ahead by 117,000 votes with 92 percent of the votes counted, before Biden pulled ahead on Friday.  In Wisconsin, Trump was also ahead by 107,000 votes with 81 percent of the votes counted, before that was somehow called for Biden on Wednesday.  Why did those states suddenly stop reporting the votes for several hours, and how is it possible that virtually all of the new votes that were tabulated went to Biden?  Many in the media have tried to justify the late Biden surge by perpetuating the false narrative that mail-in ballots were counted after in-person voting.  That is simply incorrect.  Even CNN reported that many mail-in ballots were in fact counted before election day.  It is also incorrect to say that only Biden supporters voted by mail.  For instance, at the Villages in Sumter County, Florida, where Trump has a lot of supporters, 59 percent voted for Trump by mail-in and absentee prior to the election.

Trump's 234 pages of 'election fraud' affidavits.  Sworn statements from a Donald Trump campaign lawsuit alleging vote fraud include complaints about military ballots going for Biden despite one GOP poll watcher saying he thought those who serve are 'conservative.'  The same poll-watcher also said under oath that he believed independent poll watchers were in fact left-wing radicals.  Among the the things that tipped off the GOP poll watcher:  the independents said they wanted to work in Brooklyn or expressed sympathy with protesters who declared an autonomous zone in Seattle.

Surveying the Aftermath of a Stolen Election.  The facts are on our side.  The evidence of cheating is so overwhelming that any honest person would seek to correct it.  There is no shortage of outrageous statistical anomalies, videos, first-person testimonies, voting machine "glitches," abuses of authority, and much more.  Furthermore, there are ample means to correct the problems.  Just for starters, we can force recounts, review individual ballots for evidence of fraud (such as dead voters), examine ballot machines, press lawsuits, and, in states where fraud is rampant and with legislatures controlled by Republicans, we can send Republican electors to Congress that reflect the true vote of the people.  Through these methods, President Trump should be declared the winner of an election that he so obviously won.  Of course, correcting the election results will not mean that all is well; the serious question of how to repair the national rift remains.  The left will not simply accept the corrected results and play nice.  Should Biden be denied the presidency, their response will be intense violence, perhaps at levels not seen since the 19th century.

The Democrats' Hurried Preening.  Scores of thousands of ballots turn up in the wee hours, all of them for Old Joe.  As the redoubtable Sidney Powell has observed, that is "statistically impossible as a matter of mathematics." Then there are the "Hammer" and "Scorecard" programs which perform manipulations upon what ought to be plain old simple integers so as to result in very convenient and predictable "glitches" — large lopsided heaps of tortured, groaning "tallies," always in skewed favor of the Democrat.  If ever there was an exercise which needed NOT to be "computerized," it was the American presidential election.  Unfortunately, that ship sailed a long time ago.

Data deep dive on Dominion Voting Systems offers incontrovertible proof of election hack.  The devil may be in the details, but the angels are in the data.  That's what we're learning very quickly as we examine the work of a dedicated Trump-supporter who appears to have uncovered all of the proof necessary to dispel this myth that Joe Biden won the presidential election.  A post on TheDonald.win by user TrumanBlack has sparked a little attention, though not nearly enough.  It needs a lot more because within the data sorted and examined is the smoking gun the Trump campaign can use to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the election was hacked.  Massive amounts of votes were changed from President Trump to Biden.  Other votes were removed altogether without reason.  This "cyber coup" is much bigger than most of us realized.  While we've been focused, and rightly so, on analog voter fraud, there is technological fraud on a gargantuan scale that happened.  More importantly, it has been proven.  We are going through the data now, but everything we've combed through so far seems to check out.  For example, in Georgia there appears to have been 17,407 votes switched.  Biden is currently leading in Georgia by 14,148 votes.  Pennsylvania is even worse with over one million votes either switched or "lost."

Yes, dead people voted in this election and Democrats helped make it happen.  It's been more than a week since the final votes were cast and many of Donald Trump's 72 million voters still believe this election was fundamentally unfair.  They're right about that.  Democrats completely changed the way we voted in this election.  Our system has never been more disorganized and it's never been more vulnerable to manipulation.  So was there voter fraud last week?  We've been working on that quetion ever since Election Night.  We've tried to be careful and precise as we report this out.  In moments like this, truth matters more than ever.  False allegations of fraud can cause as much damage as the fraud itself, and the last thing America needs right now is more damage.  What we're about to tell you is accurate.  It's not a theory.  It happened, and we can prove it.  Other news organizations could prove it, too.  They've simply chosen not to.  The position of corporate media across the country this week has been very simple:  There was no voter fraud.  They say it again and again, but what exactly are they talking about?  They won't tell you.  So we're going to tell you right now.  Fewer than 15,000 votes separate Donald Trump from Joe Biden in the state of Georgia.  It's close enough that it's worth getting specific about what happened there.  Georgia's secretary of state has now confirmed there will be a hand recount of all votes cast.

Pennsylvania voter fraud: the lawsuit.  Yesterday [11/9/2020] the Trump campaign and two Pennsylvania residents sued Pennsylvania's scofflaw Secretary of the Commonwealth and seven county election boards in federal court.  The lawsuit is premised primarily on equal protection; it alleges that some Pennsylvania counties, which were uniformly favorable to Joe Biden, systematically violated Pennsylvania's election laws, at times with the encouragement of the Secretary of the Commonwealth, while Republican-leaning counties followed the law.  The result was systemic voter fraud that diluted the votes of Pennsylvanians in the law-abiding counties, and also the votes of those who voted in person rather than by mail.  You can read the complaint here.  It is 85 pages long and is, in my opinion, quite impressive.  It alleges that several Democrat-dominated counties violated Pennsylvania law by preventing Republican "watchers," as they are called in that state, from observing the ballot counting process.  As far as I know, this is indisputably true.

Rudy Giuliani Confirms "Dominion" Whistleblowers Are Coming Forward.  Rudy Giuliani reportedly confirmed today [11/11/2020] that Dominion software whistleblowers have stepped forward.  This is exceptional news.  [Video clip]

Open Records Request Finds NO Invoices OR Work Orders on Reported Election Day Water Main Break in Atlanta.  On election night in Georgia President Trump was running away with the Presidential election, then suddenly it was reported that vote counting had stopped in Fulton County due to a water main break in Atlanta.  According to CBS WVLT8 ballots in Georgia would not be counted due to a water main break: [...] One Georgia resident, attorney Paul J. Dzikowski, attempted to obtain more information on the reported water main break in Atlanta.  He sent a letter to and requested any information related to the water main break under the Georgia Open Records Act. [...] In response the only public records generated as a result of the alleged "burst pipe" that halted the counting of ballots in Atlanta (Fulton Co.) were a few text messages.  These messages were with the Sr.  Vice President of the Atlanta Hawks, Geoffrey Stiles, who called it a "slow leak" that was "contained quickly," and he said the entire thing was "highly exaggerated."

Democrats want it all now.  Remember the weeks before the election, when leading Democrats, voices in the media, and tech moguls warned America to be patient after election day?  It might take days, or weeks, or even months, to know the final results of the presidential election, they warned.  Americans should not get ahead of themselves but instead wait to let the process of choosing a new president work.  That was then.  Now, some Democrats not only want President Trump to leave office, they want him to do so, and be replaced by Joe Biden, immediately.

Georgia Secretary of State Announces a 'Full, By-Hand Recount in Each County'.  Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) on Wednesday announced that the state will conduct a "by-hand recount in each county" in the Peach State.  "At 1 p.m. today, I will make the official designation of which race will be the subject of the RLA [risk-limiting audit].  At that time, I will designate that the RLA will be the presidential race," Raffensperger announced, emphasizing that the RLA, in this case, will require a by-hand recount.  Typically, an RLA involves officials examining "a statistically meaningful sample of ballots."  "The audit is mathematically designed to catch anomalies that would arise from misconfigured machines, procedural errors, or intentional attack," as NBC News reported.  However, due to the narrow margins, Raffensperger is requiring a "by-hand" recount in all 159 counties.

Media Disgrace Themselves in Calling Election Still Being Contested.  The electoral waters are being muddied by a number of arbitrary decisions taken by Trump's unrelenting enemies in the media.  It was clear enough late on election night that Trump had carried North Carolina and Alaska, yet those states haven't yet been allocated to him by any of the media companies.  Arizona was awarded to Joe Biden by Fox News relatively early on election night, in what appeared to be a dramatic signal that that organization was ending its comparatively favorable treatment of the administration, and getting onside with its likely replacement.  In truth, Biden is ahead in Arizona but his lead is steadily dwindling and by any normal criteria, Arizona remains an undecided state.  So does Georgia.  If Alaska, North Carolina, Arizona, and Georgia are added to Trump's column, he has 259 electoral votes, 11 short of the 270 required for election.  The 20 electoral votes of Pennsylvania are being discussed before the U.S. Supreme Court this week.  The requirement of Pennsylvania legislation that observers of both major parties be allowed to inspect all ballots has been widely ignored.  Since the Constitution assigns responsibility for the administration of federal elections to the legislatures of the states, the three-day extension for the acceptance of mailed ballots granted by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court is beyond the legal power of that court.  That extension is the principal apparent basis for Biden's very late and very small lead in that state.

Pennsylvania's Allegheny County to Count Over 2,000 Ballots With Missing Dates.  Election officials in Pennsylvania's Allegheny County on Tuesday voted to count over 2,000 ballots with the date missing, while providing a two-day window for an appeal of their decision.  The Allegheny County Board of Elections, in a Nov. 10 release, announced that officials voted by a 2 [to] 1 vote to count 2,349 ballots that were returned with no date.  "There is a 48 hour period to appeal that vote and so those ballots will be put aside until that time period has expired with no appeal, or until appeals have been exhausted, whichever comes first," the Board said in the release.  The ballots were reportedly eligible aside from the missing date, according to a county solicitor cited by the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announces hand recount for the presidential race.  Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said Wednesday [11/11/2020] the state will conduct a full recount of the presidential election.  Mr. Raffensperger said all ballots will be recounted by hand for the audit in each of Georgia's 159 counties.  "This will help build confidence.  It will be an audit, a recount and a recanvass all at once," he said at a press conference.  "We have all worked hard to bring fair and accurate counts to assure that the will of the voters is reflected in the final count."

Over 180 boxes with votes and voting materials found in Puerto Rico after local elections.  At least 180 boxes filled with voting materials and uncounted votes from across Puerto Rico have surfaced since the Nov. 3 elections, the election commission said Tuesday, raising questions and concerns about the validity of the preliminary results.  Initially, the Puerto Rico State Elections Commission placed the number at 40, but it has continued to rise since the boxes were first reported.  Election officials blamed the new scandal on the volume of early ballots cast on the island, marking the second electoral debacle for Puerto Rico in a three-month period.  In August, the U.S. territory was forced to suspend its primary elections because dozens of polling stations never received their ballots on Election Day, while thousands of voters waited in line to vote amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Puerto Rico unearths more than 100 briefcases of uncounted ballots 1 week after election.  Puerto Rico's elections commission says it has discovered more than 100 briefcases containing uncounted ballots a week after the U.S. territory held its general election, drawing criticism and scorn from voters who now question the validity of the outcomes of certain races.  Francisco Rosado, the commission's new president, said Tuesday that the briefcases were found in a secured vault and blamed the situation on what he said was an underfunded and understaffed administrative board responsible for counting a record number of absentee and early votes.

Tens of Thousands of Pennsylvania Ballots Returned Earlier Than Sent Date:  Researcher.  More than 20,000 absentee ballots in Pennsylvania have impossible return dates and another more than 80,000 have return dates that raise questions, according to a researcher's analysis of the state's voter database.  Over 51,000 ballots were marked as returned just a day after they were sent out — an extraordinary speed, given U.S. Postal Service (USPS) delivery times, while nearly 35,000 were returned on the same day they were mailed out.  Another more than 23,000 have a return date earlier than the sent date.  More than 9,000 have no sent date.  The state's voter records are being scrutinized as President Donald Trump is challenging the results of the presidential election in Pennsylvania and other states where his opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden, holds a tight lead.  The Trump campaign is alleging that invalid ballots have been counted for Democrats and valid ballots for Republicans were thrown away.

Media Determined to Ignore Vote Fraud, Dismiss Proof Offered at News Conference.  Two reporters offered a preview of the media blackout of misdeeds we'll get for four years if Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden lands in the White House.  Yesterday [11/9/2020] in Philadelphia, when Kayleigh McEnany, President Trump's spokeswoman, and Ronna McDaniel, chieftain of the Republican National Committee, offered proof of voter fraud in Michigan, the worthies of the Fourth Estate pretended they didn't hear.  One reporter mentioned the dreaded "C" word — conspiracy — to dismiss and mischaracterize clear evidence of fraud.  The two said they had more than 100 affidavits alleging vote fraud and almost 3,000 incident reports in Michigan alone. [...] As for the fraud itself, [Ronna] McDaniel continued with two stories.  A city employee in Detroit saw election workers and other employees "coaching voters to vote for Joe Biden and the Democrat Party," she said.  "This employee witnessed these workers and employees encouraging voters to do straight Democrat ballot and witnessed these election workers and employees going over to the voting booths with voters in order to watch them vote and coach them who to vote for."  The employee's supervisors, McDaniel said, ordered her "never to ask for a driver's license or any photo ID when a person was trying to vote."  Then came the back-dating of ballots that had not landed in the voting system by the 9 p.m. deadline on November 3.

Nobody Believes This Election Farce.  I object to the way the Democrats stole this election.  This was just a straight-up smash-and-grab job.  No creativity or panache whatsoever. [...] I can't decide whether the Democrats think we're all as stupid as Chris Wallace and will find the statistically impossible outcomes in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania somehow believable if the Soviet-like press repeats the lie enough, or whether they're asserting their dominance by just strutting right out in the open with no fear, taking long drags on their cigarettes, and declaring:  "That's right; we're not even gonna pretend anymore.  No matter how mind-bogglingly many votes Trump receives, we'll just keep dumping anonymous, single-entry ballots for Biden right out on the table until you choke on the network narratives saluting our victory.  When we promised 'hope and change,' we meant 'Pravda and gulag,' and there's [nothing] you can do about it."

President Trump Teases New Evidence Of Alleged Voter Fraud.  On Tuesday evening [11/10/2020], President Donald Trump dropped a tweet where he hinted towards evidence of voter fraud in the near future.  In the tweet, the President quoted Fox Business host Lou Dobbs who said, "I don't care what state you're in, this computer voting system is wide open to fraud and intervention." [...] The Trump campaign is making it increasingly clear they will be challenging the results of the election.  On Monday, the Trump campaign filed another lawsuit in Pennsylvania where they will attempt to halt Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar from "hurrying" to finalize the 2020 election result.

Analysis of Election Night Data from All States.  [Scroll down]  Tonight [11/10/2020] we have obtained an unaudited analysis of data available for all the states looking for system glitches and other oddities in vote counts related to the Presidential race only.  Last night we reported on another so called system 'glitch', this time in a county in Wisconsin.  Evidence was provided to us that showed that the vote totals for Rock County appeared to be switched between President Trump and Joe Biden.  9,516 votes were eliminated from President Trump and moved to Joe Biden.  This 19,032 vote difference when corrected would eliminate Biden's lead in Wisconsin.

Report: Detroit Poll Watcher Logged "Tens of Thousands" of Biden-Only Ballots Delivered in Weird Way.  As we continue the investigation into possible voter fraud, one lead has popped up in Detroit.  On Monday evening [11/9/2020], GOP spokeswoman Elizabeth Harrington tweeted out the log of a poll watcher in Detroit, Michigan, who noticed some suspicious activity going on at the location where ballots were being counted.  According to the poll watcher, a number of things seemed awfully irregular.  For one, an entire load of ballots came in at around 4:30 a.m. on November 4.  According to the poll watcher, the shift was ending around that time but one of the men in charge of counting ballots announced over the microphone that an entire load had just come in.  The poll watcher was told that the vehicles these ballots were delivered in had out-of-state plates.  The poll watcher logged that the ballots were brought in and placed on eight, long tables, but noted that the way they were brought in was irregular.  The boxes were carried in from the rear of the room, which wasn't typical at all.  Also, somewhat irregular, is that every single vote was for Joe Biden.

Trump campaign files federal lawsuit in Michigan over fraud allegations.  President Trump's reelection campaign is filing a lawsuit in federal court in an attempt to keep Michigan from certifying its results until the voting process can be reviewed.  The lawsuit is set to be filed Tuesday evening [11/10/2020], exactly one week from the election, in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan.  The lawsuit alleges several instances of electoral malfeasance and includes sworn affidavits, said Matt Morgan, general counsel for Trump's reelection campaign, during a press call.

Only The State Legislatures Can Undo The Theft, And This Is What Trump Needs To Do.  The Trump Campaign is promising to file more lawsuits.  Unfortunately, I do not see any resolution of the Election itself, even if fraud is conclusively proven, to be had from the courts, even the Supreme Court (Roberts notwithstanding).  At best, I think the courts would provide the Trump Campaign with the tools (access to records, ballots, official documents, etc.) to build its case, and then refer the Trump Campaign to the State Legislatures for redress.  Constitutionally, it works; according to Article II Section 1 of the Constitution, the State Legislatures unambiguously have the final say on electors[.]

Wisconsin Republicans raise questions about 'edits' to absentee ballot envelopes.  Republicans in Wisconsin are looking into edited absentee ballot envelopes as President Trump continues to contest the results of the election and alleged fraud.  One aspect of last week's election that the GOP is raising questions about is how absentee ballot envelopes were edited by clerks.  Wisconsin is a state that requires a witness to sign off on every absentee ballot, along with providing their address.  The information is placed on the ballot envelopes that contain the absentee votes.  Wisconsin state law stipulates that "if a certificate is missing the address of a witness, the ballot may not be counted."  A GOP official told the Washington Examiner that there have been reports that when the addresses of witnesses were missing, clerks in some cases simply looked the addresses up and filled the information in themselves.

Election 2020 [...] update.  [Scroll down]  Before I get into the flag update, I want to talk about the big picture situation as I see it, because there's reality and then there's the narrative getting crammed down everyone's throat.  We've now reached the point where whenever you open your mouth you're going to get jumped on by a bunch of Caring Liberals that you're stupid, insane, and imagined the whole thing.  How dare you suggest that there could possibly be any impropriety in this new voting system we just crammed into place this year for the first time.  It is the Great National Gas Lighting.  The chosen lefty narrative is that voter fraud never happens, and when it does happen, it's insignificant and changes nothing, the totally unbiased news media and big tech have called it for Biden, and you're just crying and irrational because you're a stupid Trumpkin, so let the healing begin.  Don't fall for it.  These are the same people who barked Not My President Trump's whole term, even though we've got more evidence of voter fraud in four days than they found of Russian collusion in four years.

Rudy Giuliani Outlines Current Status of Election Lawsuits — Ten Identified Locations All With Common and Manipulative Procedure.  Trump campaign attorney Rudy Giuliani appears on NewsMax TV to outline the current state of multiple lawsuits being filed against states who illegally manipulated ballot counting procedures during the overnight hours on election night.  The common thread between 10 regional locations was the processing of mail-in ballots without allowing any republican poll watcher to observe.  In addition to Pennsylvania, a pattern emerges within Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada and Georgia.  Within those states there are specific areas where the sketchy ballots were assembled and counted.  [Video clip]

Claim: Women's Maiden Names Used In Voter Fraud Scheme Being Called #MaidenGate.  An independent group claims that women's maiden names and the previous legal names of others were used in a scheme to create fake voter registrations and request fraudulent ballots.  People are familiar with the idea of dead people voting as a means of vote fraud, but this report claims that it may extend to the use not just maiden names, but also changed names, adoptive names, and divorced names.

Data Conflict — Tens of Thousand of Pennsylvania Ballots Returned Earlier than Sent.  The Epoch Times has an interesting article discussing a data-heavy review of ballots registered within the electronic Pennsylvania election system.  A researcher did a deep-dive into the Keystone state data and discovered some rather curious conflicts: many of the ballots were received at polling locations on dates that preceded their mailing to the voter; an impossible sequence of events.

A user's guide to Trump's Pennsylvania election challenges.  Pennsylvania is ground zero for President Trump's efforts to establish that he won the 2020 presidential race with all legal votes counted.  While it is not the only state where Trump is contesting the results, without Pennsylvania, he has no viable path to a majority in the Electoral College.  Lawyers for Trump's reelection team have raised several issues with how the commonwealth conducted the 2020 election, alleging voter fraud, a two-tiered system for mail-in and in-person voting, a lack of meaningful access for Republican poll watchers, and the acceptance of ballots after Election Day in violation of Pennsylvania election law.

Election Day should not last two months.  The case against widespread early voting already was substantial.  Having a single, national Election Day is a civic ritual useful for a sense of shared national purpose, and it also ensures that most voters will cast ballots with access to the same bank of information.  As it is, early voters operate without knowledge of any late-breaking news, including sudden health problems that candidates may experience.  Wars or threats of war, big economic developments, and major scandals all can erupt in the final weeks of a campaign.  To the greatest extent possible, voters should know all these things before going to the polls.  It also should be beyond dispute that massive mail-in voting increases the opportunities for problems, even if for honest error or incompetence rather than deliberate fraud.  An official commission co-chaired by former President Jimmy Carter in 2005 found that widespread mail voting is more open to fraud than same-day voting, and less than a decade ago, the liberal New York Times was reporting, without dissent, that "votes cast by mail are less likely to be counted, more likely to be compromised and more likely to be contested than those cast in a voting booth."

The Editor says...
If Election Day lasts more than 48 hours, it is because of the incremental changes introduced by the Left over the last few decades.  Fifty years ago, it was unthinkable to allow felons to vote, or to send partisan agents into nursing homes to coerce the elderly into voting.  "No-excuse absentee balloting" started in California (of course!) in 1978, and the first mail-only general election took place in Oregon in 1996.  None of the above was a good idea.  The Left has consistently opposed Voter-ID laws, which would eliminate a lot of duplicate voting, dead voters, and impersonations.  Voting machines themselves should have no mechanism to connect to the internet, yet some do.  As far as I know, everyone who has been charged with voter fraud in the last ten years is a Democrat.  If Election Day drags on and on, it is entirely the fault of the political Left.

Trump's bid to shift the election may be hopeless, but Dems have done it since 2016.  When all the recounts and lawsuits are done, Joe Biden almost certainly will be the next president.  Yet Donald Trump has every right to challenge that — and Democrats have no excuse for raging about it.  Biden's apparent Electoral College lead would require Trump to erase leads of tens of thousands of votes in at least three states — which won't happen unless the president can show a lot more wrongdoing than he has so far.  But he has every right to try:  Contesting results is part of democracy, one Democrats have done many times in recent elections.  Al Gore's 2000 effort in Florida left the election unresolved until Dec. 12.

Voter Fraud in Presidential Elections Has Been Going on for at Least 60 Years.  It's Time to Call a Halt.  [Scroll down]  There was significant evidence that the Kennedy machine had committed voter fraud in both [Illinois and Texas].  In Illinois, Daley's Chicago machine made it easy:  five days before the election, a Chicago group called the Committee on Honest Elections issued a report documenting its contention that fully ten percent of the people on Chicago voter rolls were listed as living in bars, barbershops, vacant lots and the like.  Many had moved; many others were dead.  The Committee also found unregistered voters having cast votes, including some who were apparently altogether fictional.  This report didn't stop the fraud in Chicago.  In the election, several Chicago districts recorded many more votes than they had registered voters, and Kennedy won big.  In Texas, meanwhile, Republicans charged that Democratic vice presidential candidate Lyndon Johnson, whose past recourse to voter fraud was legendary, had been up to his old tricks.  In his 1948 Senate race, voters helpfully voted in alphabetical order to put Johnson over the top.

10 Reasons Pennsylvania's Election Results May Be 'Irredeemably Compromised'.  On Monday [11/9/2020], the campaign to reelect President Donald Trump filed a mammoth lawsuit accusing Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth Kathy Boockvar and county elections boards throughout the state of violating the U.S. Constitution by unilaterally revising the law in a manner that deprives some voters of their rights to a free and fair election.  "In a rush to count mail ballots and ensure Democrat Joe Biden is elected, Pennsylvania has created an illegal two-tiered voting system for the 2020 General Election, devaluing in-person votes," the lawsuit alleges.  "For voters that appeared at the polls, those citizens were required to sign voter registrations, have those signatures checked against voter rolls, vote in a polling place monitored by statutorily-authorized poll observers, and have their votes counted in a transparent and verifiable open and observed manner.  By contrast, due to the arbitrary, unauthorized, and standardless actions of the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Kathy Boockvar, nearly 2.65 million votes were cast through a 'mail-in' process that lacked all of the hallmarks of transparency and verifiability that were present for in-person voters," the suit claims.

President Trump Must Never Concede This Election to Joe Biden.  Right now the Trump campaign is engaged in a no-holds-barred legal struggle for the presidency and for the fate of our nation.  While on election night, President Trump appeared to be in a solid position to declare a win, as more and more ballots appeared, often in tranches of tens of thousands that were 100% for Biden, that lead dissipated.  It seems that unless an amazing statistical anomaly occurred in a handful of crucial states over and over and over that extensive fraud took place.  As this fight wears on, calls will increase for President Trump to concede and congratulate Biden on his win.  He should resist any advice to do so.

Ronna McDaniel Presents 131 Affidavits, 2,800 Incident Reports of Alleged Voter Fraud in MI: Media Still Demands 'Evidence'.  During a press conference Monday, GOP Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel presented evidence of alleged voter fraud in Michigan that Republicans think could have tipped the scales for Joe Biden.  "In Wayne County, Republican poll watchers were denied their legal right to monitor the election and purposefully kept in the dark... there are thousands of reports of poll watchers being intimidated and unable to do their job and as of 4 p.m. this afternoon, 131 affidavits have been completed just in Michigan with over 2,800 incident reports that have been submitted to us since election day.  Two new lawsuits were filed today by people who were working in Detroit and a whistleblower [came forward]." [...] Watching the news these days is a lot like watching a Monty Python skit because immediately after McDaniel gave her evidence and told the press where to find the affidavits, they demanded that she show "evidence" of the alleged fraud.

Trump Wins North Carolina, Decision Desk HQ Projects.  Decision Desk HQ called North Carolina for President Trump on Tuesday afternoon, awarding the state's 15 electoral votes to the president on the outlet's election map.  Decision Desk HQ is the first major outlet to award the state to Trump over Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.  The call comes a week after election day on Nov. 3 and is one of the final states to be called by any major election decision desk.  Trump has led in the state almost the entire time as outstanding ballots continue to be counted in North Carolina.

Kayleigh McEnany Provides Examples of Ballot Fraud in Wayne County Michigan.  Appearing on Fox News with Sean Hannity, White House spokesperson Kayleigh McEnany shares information from within 234 pages of sworn affidavits outlining ballot fraud in Wayne County, Michigan.  Amid the allegations are: a single person signing sixty percent of ballots, multiple ballots being run through the counting machines more than once, and deceased voters.  [Video clip]

Post Office Whistleblower Denies Recanting Statement Witnessing Ballot Fraud — Demands Washington Post Retract False Claims.  U.S Postal Worker Richard Hopkins came forward to expose specific irregularities with the back-dating of ballots which he personally witnessed.  Several U.S. Senators demanded AG Bill Barr immediately investigate the claims and sworn affidavit.  However the Washington Post ran a story yesterday (has been re-written several times) claiming Mr. Hopkins recanted his statements.  After reading the Washington Post story, whistleblower Richard Hopkins tells the newspaper their story is false, he did not recant.  However, the Washington Post refuses to remove the story, instead they re-write it several times attempting to retain the falsity.

How Collapsing Checks and Balances Destroyed the Election in Pennsylvania.  The presidential election of 2020 will go down as a pivotal test of whether or not our great Constitutional Republic experiment in liberty will survive.  There are a few states that will serve as the front line in this critical battle for survival.  Be it Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Nevada, or Arizona, the impact on our grand experiment will be profound.  As a member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives recently re-elected to a third term in a landslide, I have seen firsthand the overwhelming tilting of the scales of justice in the 2020 elections in my own state.  I am in the midst of this battle for survival.  The undue influence by the Executive Branch and the Judicial Branch of government has been profound in Pennsylvania, virtually guaranteeing the debacle that has occurred in the 2020 election in the Keystone State.

Why Did Six Battleground States with Democrat Governors ALL Pause Counting on Election Night?  And How Was This Coordinated?  There are several reports on Election night that five battleground states quit counting on Election night.  NewsMax pointed out the coincidence of it happening in those five states with Democratic governors with Trump ahead before the "pauses."  Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia and Nevada mysteriously quit counting after midnight. [...] In Georgia and several states on election night the officials announced they would resume counting in the morning.  It was a head fake.  In Fulton County Georgia elections officials told the media and our observers that they were shutting down the tabulation center at State Farm Arena at 10:30 p.m. on election night only to continue counting ballots in secret until 1:00 a.m.

Study: 353 U.S. Counties Have Millions More Registered Voters Than People Eligible to Vote.  A new report on the voter rolls across the country shows that 353 U.S. counties have more people registered to vote than they have residents even eligible to vote.  In fact, the study finds that there are millions too many voters on the rolls.  The news comes from government watchdog group Judicial Watch which released the results of its 2020 study that found hundreds of counties exceed 100% of eligible voters who live there.  Counties in states including Alaska, Colorado, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Vermont, seem to have serious problems with their voter rolls.

ALL Media Outlets Pull Live Voting Total Update Feeds - Too Many Americans Watching Vote-Switching.  The entirety of the U.S. mass-media suddenly and inexplicably PULLED all their live voting total feeds from both TV and Internet this morning.  It seems too many Americans were recording the LIVE (Criminal) vote-switching taking place. [...] Within one second, the tally changed:  Trump LOST 20,000 votes at the precise second Boden GAINED 20,000 votes!  Something ... likely malicious computer activity ... stole 20,000 votes from Trump and gave the exact same number to Biden.  FRAUD. Plain and simple.  Americans are now going over ALL their recordings of election night media coverage and they're finding even MORE occurrences, in many other states!

Dead Person Voting in Nevada May Be Evidence of a More Systemic Issue.  There have been a lot of allegations of voter fraud and irregularities across the states currently being contested in the election.  But one of them, in Clark County, Nevada seems pretty hard to argue away, and it may be the sign of a much wider fraud.  Rosemarie Hartle voted in the 2020 election.  But there was a small problem with that.  Rosemarie Hartle died in 2017 of breast cancer, as her husband Kirk explained.  The records show that the ballot was sent October 9 and returned the day before Election Day.  Kirk Hartle explained that it never came to their house and he never returned it.  Even more troubling:  Nevada officials say that her signature on the ballot is a match to the one they have on record.

Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick Offers Up to $1 Million Reward For Evidence of Voter Fraud.  Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick upped the ante on Tuesday and offered a $1 million reward for evidence of voter fraud.  "I support President Trump's efforts to identify voter fraud in the presidential election and his commitment to making sure that every legal vote is counted and every illegal vote is disqualified," Patrick said. [...] Project Veritas a couple weeks ago released a bombshell undercover video of a Texas "Republican" consultant violating both Texas and federal laws.  Raquel Rodriguez, a consultant for GOP House candidate Mauro Garza was caught on camera coercing and bribing voters into voting Democrat.

What Would It Take to Convince You The Election Was Rigged?  Remember that a) lying in a sworn affidavit to a court is a crime.  And b) doing anything that is seen as helping Trump will subject you to all manner of hell.  In light of that, do you believe the countless witnesses who now have sworn to seeing illegal activity leading up to and through the election would lie?  Now, for those fair-minded people who support Biden, may I ask a few questions?  Do you believe
  [#1]   It would be wrong for election supervisors to coach workers to correct mail-in ballots for Biden, but not for Trump?
  [#2]   That it would also be wrong for election workers to coach voters to vote for Biden and Democrats, and follow them to the ballot station?
  [#3]   It would be wrong for poll workers to go out to a Biden-Harris van in the middle of the night and fill out ballots?
  [#4]   That it would be likewise wrong for poll workers to fill in the names of people who hadn't yet voted when a "voter" comes in who is not on the voter rolls?
  [#5]   It's wrong for poll workers to ignore matching signature requirements?
  [#6]   That it's wrong for counting centers to keep Republican poll watchers from observing hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots?
  [#7]   It was wrong for Philadelphia Democrats to ignore a court order that demanded poll watchers have their rightful access?
  [#8]   That it's wrong for a Democratic-controlled ballot-counting center Fulton County, Georgia to tell GOP observers they were done counting for the night ... then resume counting the minute the observers left?
  [#9]   It was wrong for Nevada voting officials to fabricate proof of residence data for non-eligible voters?
  [#10]   That it was likewise wrong for postal supervisors in several states to order workers to pre-date late arriving ballots, so it would falsely appear they arrived on time?
  [#11]   It is wrong to cast ballots using the dead?
  [#12]   That it is wrong to count ballots from people ineligible to vote in a particular state?
  [#13]   It is wrong for a state supreme court to ignore state law and the U.S. constitution to change the voting rules right before an election? Rules guaranteed to make the process more susceptible to fraud?
Each of those statements is asserted in 131 sworn affidavits from poll workers, poll watchers and whistleblowers or happened in broad daylight.

Deeply Blue New England Disrupted by Republican Wins in Down-Ballot Races.  The Democrat stronghold in New England has weakened after a few lower-ticket 2020 election surprises, including an entire state's legislature flipping to red and two House speakers being ousted by Republicans.  One enormous upset came out of New Hampshire, where both chambers of its legislature and its Executive Council lost their Democrat majorities.

More "Glitches" in Pennsylvania:  Votes for Trump Drop in Three Different Counties Simultaneously — Almost As If It Was Coordinated.  We have now reported on several "glitches" in the ballot counting this year.  Every single "glitch" resulted in Donald Trump losing votes and Joe Biden gaining votes.  We have now witnessed these "glitches" in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Michigan and Wisconsin.  At this point there is no way to know how many times this occurred or in how many states.  Only an audit of the votes in each state will reveal the abnormalities in the voter counts.  William Briggs found an unusual drop in President Trump's total votes in three different counties at the same time period[.]

Evidence Mounts of a Stolen Election.  United States Air Force Lieutenant General Thomas McInerney explains a special software developed by the National Security Agency that can be used to alter vote counts in elections.  He explains the software and its use in this 7 minute video:  [ Link]  In this article, the Off-Guardian explains the use of the software to alter the outcome of the vote in Wisconsin and Michigan:  [Link]  In this article the Fake News Site, CNN, attempts to explain away the obviously altered vote:  [Link]  Voting by mail greatly facilitates the use of the vote-altering software and the use of ballot dumps.  One reason for the mask mandate and Covid fear was to justify mass voting by mail.  The media speaks with one voice.  The print, TV, NPR, social media, and the anti-Trump Internet sites exercise censorship and control the explanations.  We are experiencing a well designed and successful coup against American democracy and accountable government.  No, this is not a conspiracy theory.  It is a revolution against red state America.  Republicans are too establishment to effectively fight back.  They fear that exposing and resisting a stolen election would discredit American democracy.  In effect, patriotism makes them impotent.

39 House Republicans Ask Bill Barr to Ensure Integrity of Voting and Counting Process.  More than three dozen House Republicans, including House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Biggs (R-AZ), penned a letter Friday to Attorney General William Barr asking him what he is doing to ensure the integrity of the 2020 presidential election amid allegations of irregularities.  "While each state runs its own election process, the United States Department of Justice is ultimately responsible for the integrity of federal elections.  The American people must have the utmost confidence that the outcome of the presidential election is legitimate," said the letter, authored by Rep. Michael Cloud (R-TX).

Chip Roy Calls for Recount, Audit, and Full Review: 'Fewer than 100,000 Votes' Separate Key Swing States.  Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) joined some of his Republican colleagues in calling for a recount, audit, and full review of the election, stating Monday morning that "fewer than 100,000 votes total" separate former Vice President Joe Biden and President Donald Trump in key swing states.  "Right now — there are fewer than 100,000 votes total — out of almost 150 million cast — separating AZ, GA, WI, & PA (plus other close states like NV) with a number of lingering questions," the congressman, who defeated Democrat challenger Wendy Davis, said.

Republican Attorneys General [are] Taking Legal Action over Pennsylvania Mail-in Ballots.  Republican attorneys general from across the U.S. are taking legal action in Pennsylvania to challenge mail-in ballots.  Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, and Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter spoke about the subject during a virtual press conference Monday afternoon [11/9/2020].  "We have constantly reminded the American people that we represent and stand up for the rule of law," Landry, the chairman of the Republican Attorneys General Association, said.  "As such, we believe the voting system should be free of outside, undue influence."  Landry compared President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden's presidential race to "referees getting to change the rules midway through the football game."

Banana Follies: the Mother of All Color Revolutions.  [Scroll down]  Election Day comes.  Vote counting is running smoothly — mail-in count, election day count, up to the minute tallies — but mostly favoring Red, especially in three states always essential for capturing the presidency.  Red is also leading in what is characterized as "swing states".  But then, just as a TV network prematurely calls a supposedly assured Red state for Blue, all vote counting stops before midnight in major urban areas in key swing states under Blue governors, with Red in the lead. [...] Blue operators bet the compliant mainstream media/Big Tech alliance will not question that, well, out of the blue, the vote would swing towards Blue in a 2 to 3 or 3 to 4 margin.  They bet no questions will be asked on how a 2% to 5% positive ballot trend in Red's favor in a few states turned into a 0.5% to 1.4% trend in favor of Blue by around 4 am.  And that this discrepancy happens in two swing states almost simultaneously.  And that some precincts turn more presidential votes than they have registered voters.  And that in swing states, the number of extra mysterious votes for Blue far exceeds votes cast for the Senate candidates in these states, when the record shows that down ticket totals are traditionally close.  And that turnout in one of these states would be 89.25%.  The day after Election Day there are vague explanations that one of the possible vote-dumps was just a "clerical error", while in another disputed state there is no justification for accepting ballots with no postmark.  Blue operators relax because the mainstream media/Big Tech alliance squashes each and every complaint as "conspiracy theories".

We're not saying Biden cheated.  It would be unethical for us to outright say that.  Sort of like it was unethical for the traditional media to call the race for Biden before all of the 'irregularities' during the election were accounted for, explained, and/or remedied.  But as we've pointed out for years, we're not the traditional media.  This thread is definitely worth a gander.

Detroit election worker alleges colleagues coached voters to choose Biden.  A Detroit election worker claimed in an affidavit that she witnessed other employees "coaching" voters to vote for Joe Biden.  The affidavit came on Monday as part of a lawsuit filed against parties in Detroit and Wayne County, where Detroit is located.  In it, a city employee named Jessy Jacob alleges wrongdoing.  The lawsuit comes after the Michigan Republican Party has repeatedly claimed electoral misconduct surrounding last Tuesday's election.  Jacob said in the affidavit that she has worked for the City of Detroit for decades and was assigned to work in the Elections Department in the lead-up to this year's election.  Jacob said she worked at the election headquarters and then later a satellite branch for most of October.

Trump campaign files Pennsylvania lawsuit to stop certification of election results.  The Trump campaign filed a lawsuit in Pennsylvania on Monday asking a federal court to block the Democratic secretary of state from certifying the state's election results amid claims of voter irregularities and wrongdoing.  Democrats in the state have vehemently denied these claims as President Trump has refused to concede the 2020 contest despite an apparent victory by former Vice President Joe Biden.  "Nothing less than the integrity of the 2020 Presidential election is at stake in this action.  Defendants, the very officials charged with ensuring the integrity of the election in Pennsylvania, have so mismanaged the election process that no one — not the voters and not President Trump's campaign — can have any faith that their most sacred and basic rights under the United States Constitution are being protected," the Trump campaign's lengthy lawsuit declared.

The Statistical Case Against Biden's Win.  [Scroll down]  Biden-Only Ballots:  Trump campaign legal counsel Sidney Powell reports that, nationwide, over 450,000 Biden-only ballots were cast, meaning the voter allegedly selected Biden but then neglected down-ballot candidates, including closely-contested Senate and House races.  Again, this phenomenon appears far more prominently in battleground states, raising the alarm for manipulation.  Why would so many people vote Biden — only in battleground Georgia, but not in deeply-red Wyoming, for instance?  In the Peach State, President Trump's vote total almost exactly tracked the vote totals for the Republican senate candidates, separated by merely 818 votes out of 2.43 million votes Trump earned there.  But, Joe Biden saw an astounding surplus of 95,801 votes over the Democratic Senate candidates.  By comparison, in Wyoming Biden only registered a surplus "Biden-only" take of just 725 votes over the Democratic Senate candidate there, or about 1/4th his take in in Georgia, on a percentage basis.  The Biden-only ballots do not conclusively prove fraud, but they sure reek of something very amiss.

4 Things to Know About Voting Machine Company That's Causing [a] Stir.  Amid litigation and recounts in the presidential election, significant attention is focused on a Denver-based company with strong political ties.  Dominion Voting Systems, a voting machine manufacturer founded in Canada, made equipment that is used in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania.  All those states have seen razor-thin margins in returns from the presidential election, which is officially undecided.  The company controls more than one-third of the voting machine market in the United States, according to multiple news reports.

10,000 Dead People Returned Mail-in Ballots in Michigan, Analysis Shows.  More than 10,000 people confirmed or suspected dead have returned their mail-in ballots to vote in Michigan, according to an analysis of the state's election data.  About 9,500 voters confirmed dead through the Social Security Death Index (SSDI) are marked in the state's mail voting database as having returned ballots.  Another nearly 2,000 are 100 years old or more and aren't listed as known living centenarians.  The analysis was provided by Richard Baris, director of Big Data Poll.  The data indicates that somebody else was trying to vote on behalf of these people.  "It's also entirely possible that some of them aren't even real people," Baris told The Epoch Times via email.  "If someone is 110 or some ridiculous age, we should have their death record but do not."

The Complete Illogic of a Biden Victory.  The Biden campaign, the Democrat Party, and the legacy media (all for one; one for all!) have summarily declared Joe Biden to have won the election. [...] We are expected to believe that more Americans voted for a thoroughly compromised candidate who did not even campaign down the stretch than voted for both Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton.  Does anyone seriously believe that to be the case?  Do you think Obama and Hillary themselves actually believe that?  Even the media could not hide Biden's serial gaffes and "senior moments" when he did appear in public during the campaign, nor could they dispel or refute the evidence of massive Biden family corruption in Ukraine, Kazakhstan, China, and elsewhere that was exposed in the last weeks leading up to Election Day.  There was ZERO enthusiasm for Biden, and the paltry numbers at his public campaign appearances paled in comparison to President Trump's massive rallies.  Where is the logic that leads to Biden's popular vote record?

Lindsey Graham:  Possible ballot harvesting in Pennsylvania involving 25,000 nursing home residents.  Sen. Lindsey Graham said on Monday [11/9/2020] he has learned about potential ballot harvesting in Pennsylvania nursing homes.  The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee revealed that there were up to 25,000 cases that are being looked at as Pennsylvania remains a state President Trump's team hopes to turn its way after major media outlets called it for his Democratic opponent, Joe Biden, giving him enough electoral votes to secure the presidency.  "I've got more information.  We're now finding potentially that 25,000 nursing home residents in different nursing homes requested mail-in ballots at the exact same time," the South Carolina Republican said on Fox News.  "You can't ballot harvest in Pennsylvania," Graham added.  "What are the odds that 25,000 people in different locations of the same age group requested at the same time a ballot?  Somebody is up to no good in these nursing homes."

What You Need to Know About Election Litigation in Pennsylvania, Nevada, Georgia, and Arizona.  Even though former Vice President Joe Biden has claimed victory in the presidential election, the Trump campaign has filed lawsuits contesting the results with current litigation in Pennsylvania, Nevada, Michigan, Georgia, and Arizona.  In Pennsylvania alone, there are at least 21,000 dead people on the voter rolls.  Is there a possibility that some of these ballots that went to dead people were used fraudulently?  We've also heard a lot of people talk about how we largely know the results of all the House and Senate races but still don't have all the ballots counted for the presidential race.  Why is this the case?

First Comes A Rolling Civil War.  US intel is very much aware of well-documented instances of election fraud.  Among them:  NSA software that infiltrates any network, as previously detailed by Edward Snowden, and capable of altering vote counts; the Hammer supercomputer and its Scorecard app that hacks computers at the transfer points of state election computer systems and outside third party election data vaults; the Dominion software system, known to have serious security issues since 2000, but still used in 30 states, including every swing state; those by now famous vertical jumps to Biden in both Michigan and Wisconsin at 4 am on November 4 (AFP unconvincingly tried to debunk Wisconsin and didn't even try with Michigan); multiple instances of Dead Men Do Vote.  The key actor is the Deep State, which decides what happens next.  They have weighed the pros and cons of placing as candidate a senile, stage 2 dementia, neocon warmonger and possible extorsionist (along with son) as "leader of the free world", campaigning from a basement, incapable of filling a parking lot in his rallies, and seconded by someone with so little support in the Dem primaries that she was the first to drop out.

Massive Election Corruption Documented In Michigan.  Yesterday [11/9/2020] GOP Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel held a press conference and unveiled 131 affidavits and 2,800 incident reports documenting fraud and other irregularities in the election in Michigan.  Reporters were unimpressed: [...]

The Media Should Not Have 'Called' This Election.  Joe Biden has made it clear that he will do his best to "unify" the country following an election in which more than 71 million Americans — nearly half the electorate — voted for Donald Trump.  It is an admirable goal.  But any chance of that happening depends on the American people having confidence that the election outcome resulted from a fair and honest process.  Though never perfect, our electoral system has generally instilled confidence for the past 231 years, which is why it has worked so well.  Under the contentious circumstances of this election, the traditional media's decision to declare a victor before the official process had run its course has diminished the confidence of Trump voters in the announced result.  Even if the declaration of a Biden victory is found to be accurate, the call was premature, and it will make the effort to unify our nation far more difficult.

Republicans say thousands in Wisconsin may have circumvented voter ID requirement.  Republicans in Wisconsin are raising questions about the large number of people, particularly new voters, who avoided having to show a photo ID to vote by listing themselves as "indefinitely confined."  When requesting an absentee ballot, Wisconsin law allows voters to self-certify if they are "indefinitely confined" to their residence because of age, physical illness, or disability for an indefinite period of time.  Doing so allows them to submit an absentee ballot without having to show any form of photo ID, although they must have a ballot witness sign off.  This year, the number of indefinitely confined voters soared amid the coronavirus pandemic, leaving Republicans saying they are concerned about potential fraud.  In 2019, about 72,000 voters said they were indefinitely confined.  That number reportedly ballooned to 243,000 this year.

Head of DOJ election crimes unit resigns in protest after Bill Barr authorized federal prosecutors across US to pursue 'substantial allegations' of voter fraud.  Donald Trump Jr has accused the Justice Department official who oversees investigations of voter fraud of being a member of the 'Deep State', after the official dramatically quit on Monday night [11/9/2020].  Richard Pilger resigned after Attorney General William Barr authorized federal prosecutors across the U.S. to pursue 'substantial allegations' of voting irregularities before the 2020 presidential election is certified, despite little evidence of fraud.  Pilger, director of the Election Crimes Branch of the Department of Justice since 2010, stepped down within hours of Barr's announcement, in an email he sent to colleagues that was obtained by The New York Times.

Oregon elections director fired after sharing security, spending concerns.  Oregon's elections director was abruptly fired in a text message by the secretary of state after he pointed out serious issues with the state's aging and vulnerable technology for running elections.  Elections Director Stephen Trout learned in a text message Thursday night — as his department and county elections officials were still counting votes from the Nov. 3 election — that he was out.

AG Barr authorizes DOJ probe of allegations of 'voting irregularities' in 2020 election.  Attorney General Bill Barr authorized federal prosecutors to investigate allegations of "voting irregularities" in the 2020 election on Monday — despite little evidence of voting fraud in the contest.  In a memo sent by Barr Monday evening, he said Justice Department prosecutors could investigate specific allegations of voter fraud before the election results are certified in December.  The memo added, however, that "specious, speculative, fanciful or far-fetched claims should not be a basis for initiating federal inquiries."  The memo, which critics see as the DOJ wading into the US election, prompted the resignation of Richard Pilger, the official who oversees voter fraud allegations for the department, the New York Times reported.

The Greatest Threat Ever to Our Liberty.  Need we say the franchise is indispensable to our republic?  Elections fraud isn't new, but never in the nation's history has this basic right been so comprehensively assaulted, so jeopardized.  The Civil War was an attempt to split the nation, not deprive Union states' citizens of their constitutional rights.  We're on new and very dangerous turf. [...] If the cabal that Biden fronts gets away with stealing the 2020 presidential elections in blue states — Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Nevada — and in purple states, Georgia and Arizona, what's the message to 71 million Trump voters — and voters generally?  Your ballots don't matter.  Democrats, the left, moneyed interests, and Deep State players will conspire to hijack future elections at will to serve their venal ends.  It's banana republic at warp speeds.  What self-respecting, liberty-loving American would participate in such sinister charades?

RealClearPolitics Removes Pennsylvania From Biden's Electoral Total.  RealClearPolitics has STILL not put Pennsylvania into Biden's electoral vote total.  Could it be that OTHER networks were too quick to call the Keystone state for sleepy Joe?  Could this be the first domino to fall? [...] RCP has still not called GA or AZ in favor of Biden, either!

Lockdown Socialism.  The uncertainty's not completely over.  Bernard Kerik describes the developing situation in Pennsylvania:  ["]This is only the beginning.  More to come!  RealClearPolitics — just rescinded their call for Biden winning Pennsylvania!["]

Biden beat Trump by less than 276,000 votes in key swing states.  They're still counting the votes in a handful of the key battleground states in the presidential election — but a look at where the current vote totals stand points to a second straight White House race decided by razor thin margins.  The Fox News Decision Desk projected on Saturday that Democratic presidenital nominee Joe Biden would win the state of Nevada and the commonwealth of Pennsylvania, giving the former vice president the electoral votes he needed to defeat President Trump and become president-elect.  But the president has yet to concede, as he hopes that a flurry of lawsuits he's filed and a couple of recounts in key states will reverse Biden's victory.

GoFundMe Derails Fundraiser For 'Whistleblower' Mail Carrier From Pennsylvania.  A GoFundMe account for "whistleblower" mail carrier Richard Hopkins from Erie, Pennsylvania, had his account put on "hold," unable to withdraw funds, journalist James O'Keefe reported Sunday [11/8/2020].  Hopkins claims he was instructed to collect late ballots, with the apparent intent from Postmaster Rob Weisenbach to backdate the votes.  The mail carrier made the explosive claims in a signed affidavit under the penalty of perjury.  [Quoting a tweet:]  "BREAKING: [GoFundMe] has flagged [USPS] Whistleblower Richard Hopkins campaign after raising nearly $120,000 in 24 hours," O'Keefe said.  "Your fundraiser is currently under review and withdrawal are on hold," read a notice from the company, according to a screenshot posted by O'Keefe.

The tide is already turning for President Trump.  Attorney General Barr just mobilized the Department of Justice to engage as appropriate to investigate election fraud throughout America.  He is on very solid legal grounds. [...] The actual fact that AG late last night triggered the use of the DOJ legal handbook bodes very ill for those who are involved in electoral cheating.  For them, when the men and women in suits arrive on their doorstep to politely inquire "can you explain this," with "this" being one of many the many felonies listed above, the campaign operative is likely to immediately have a life-altering moment.

Less than half in new poll believe Biden is legitimate winner of election; a third say Trump won.  More than a third of registered voters believe Donald Trump legitimately won the presidential election, according to a new Just the News Daily Poll with Scott Rasmussen.  Less than half of all respondents — 49% — believe Joe Biden legitimately won the race, while 34% said they believe Trump won the election, and 16% said they are not sure who really won.  Of Republican respondents, 77% said they think Trump is the legitimate winner, while just 12% of Republicans believe Biden is the legitimate winner.  About a quarter of independent voters also said they believe Trump won.  Among Democrats, 87% think that Biden is the winner.  Rasmussen noted that the survey was conducted from Thursday night [11/5/2020] until Saturday early afternoon.

No Truth, No Unity!  In order to undermine this election, the Dems say, you have to produce evidence that legal votes were changed or that illegal votes were cast.  That sounds reasonable until you realize that the evidence they seek isn't a rational statistical analysis, but a video or a confession.  Failure to produce that kind of evidence becomes irrefutable proof that no crime has been committed.  On top of that, you also have to show that an organization engaged in this activity across the entire country.  With this as the standard of proof, all evidence of individual instances of fraudulent activity can be dismissed.  "Those are merely anecdotal reports!  They don't prove widespread fraud!"  As usual, the media (including Fox News) accepts the Democrats' premise and lays the burden of proof on the Republicans alleging fraud and, as usual, the Republicans accept that burden and try to defend their assertion that the election was stolen away from President Trump.

Forget traditional election maps — this is what the US vote really looks like.  If you look at the country using a typical election map, it looks a lot redder than it does blue, even though Democrat Joe Biden won the White House.  That's because those maps generally assign one of those colors per state, based on the total vote.  But huge swaths of the country have little population, making it appear that the vast majority of the US votes Republican, when in fact, the nation was nearly evenly divided this year — with Biden sitting at around 74.5 million votes and President Trump at 70.3 million as of Saturday evening.  A different map of the 2020 election shows that when you visualize the vote by population, you get a completely different picture.  Using different colored and sized dots to reflect the vote across the country, Karim Douieb of data science company Jetpack.AI made a map that provides a clearer look at how votes from both parties are dispersed across the country.

Whistleblower Saw People in Biden Van Opening, Filling, and Sealing Nevada Ballots, Trump Campaign Claims.  The Trump campaign on Sunday [11/8/2020] described a sworn affidavit from a whistleblower in Nevada who alleges to have witnessed people inside a Biden-Harris van opening, filling out, and resealing mail ballots.  The whistleblower, who the campaign did not identify, witnessed the alleged incident while on lunch break.  He said the people inside the van were using letter openers to open the ballot envelopes.  Once the people became aware they were being watched, they formed a human shield around the van to purportedly cover up the activity.  The Biden campaign did not respond to a request for comment.  Trump campaign representative Matt Schlapp detailed the allegation during a press conference in Las Vegas on Sunday.  Schlapp described other instances of potential fraud, including 9,000 ballots cast by people who have moved out of the state, two examples of ballots cast using the identities of dead people, and voter registrations issued to minors under the age of 18.

Lawyers claim Supreme Court could declare Pennsylvania votes illegal, 9,000 non-residents voted in Nevada and witnesses say their votes were denied.  Donald Trump tweeted late into the night on Sunday, continuing to push claims of voter fraud as he refused to concede the election to Joe Biden.  In a slew of tweets sent around midnight Washington time — two of them flagged by Twitter for containing disputed information — the President pushed videos of his allies on Fox News alleging voter fraud and other irregularities, while calling for all claims to be fully investigated before the election result is allowed to stand.  It comes amid reports that Trump is planning a series of rallies where he will show off obituaries of dead people that his campaign claims were allowed to vote, while touting other allegations of fraud.

Biden's Fake 'Win' Breaks the Laws of Mathematics.  A look at the data seems to prove that Joe Biden's election "win" breaks the the mathematical rule known as Benford's Law.  The data tends to prove that Biden's "election" was manufactured and is not a naturally occurring thing.  A post at GNews.org lays out the case that Joe Biden's voting trends did not occur along the lines of normal human behavioral pattern, but instead were created by vote fraud.  Benford's Law, or the first-digit law, is used to see if numbers are naturally occurring or part of a manufactured scheme.  The law has been used to prove that foreign "elections" in dictatorial countries such as Iran were fake.

Another Glitch?? 13k Wisconsin Absentee Votes Were Not Accepted By Software, Of Course It's A Trump County.  About 13,400 absentee ballots in a predominantly Republican county in Wisconsin experienced a "technical glitch."  A small mark on the bottom of the ballot was missing which prevented the ballot from being read.  Officials were forced to duplicate the ballots by hand.  [Video clip]

Trump's plan to defeat the cheats.  [Scroll down]  Some people are banking on state legislatures overturning election.  Perhaps they can.  Forget recounts.  The same people who counted the votes the first time will count them again.  Biden declared victory on Saturday night.  Big mistake.  Democrats took the bait.  Now President Trump can go to the Supreme Court and have the elections in Michigan and Pennsylvania declared invalid.  Without those Electoral College votes, Biden fails to reach 270 and the election gets thrown into the House.  Other states also may be invalidated.  The Supreme Court will decide, and I believe President Trump has 5 votes and Chief Justice John McCain Roberts has only 4.

Report: In 353 U.S. Counties, 1.8 Million More Voters Registered Than Eligible Citizens.  On Monday, a report was issued indicating that among 353 U.S. counties, 1.8 million more voters might have been registered than eligible voting-age citizens.  Judicial Watch (JW) revealed the results of their 2020 study showing that the total in the counties of registration rates surpassed 100% of eligible voters.  The eight states where state-wide registration rates exceeded 100% included Alaska, Colorado, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Vermont.  "The September 2020 study collected the most recent registration data posted online by the states themselves.  This data was then compared to the Census Bureau's most recent five-year population estimates, gathered by the American Community Survey (ACS) from 2014 through 2018.  ACS surveys are sent to 3.5 million addresses each month, and its five-year estimates are considered to be the most reliable estimates outside of the decennial census," Judicial Watch explained.

Vote Switching Software Caught In The Act Taking Votes From Republican And Giving To Democrat, Live On CNN!  The live numbers shown in the upper right are straight from the software Lt. Gen Thomas Mcinerney warned us all about, Hammer and Scorecard, which is owned by the CIA and is programmed to snatch votes from one candidate and gives it to another.  During the CNN live broadcast, you can see the software, in realtime, snatch nearly 600 votes from Republican Matt Bevin and give it to Democrat Andy Beshear.  [Video clip]

Lt. Gen Thomas Mcinerney exposes CIA software Hammer Scorecard, warned it will change votes by 3%!  Lieutenant General Thomas Mcinerney blows the lid off the counting system used for election 2020.  This system is called Hammer/Scorecard and was acquired by the NSA and CIA under Obama.  This may be why we are catching glitches already.  Mcinerney is saying 3% of the vote is being changed from Trump to Biden.  This is why in a flash, we are seeing massive leads by Trump vanish in the blink of an eye, showing 100% vote for Biden and zero for Trump.  [Video clip]

New Lawsuit in MI Alleges "Massive Fraud' in Election Vote Counting; Calls For New Election in Wayne County.  The Great Lakes Justice Law Center (GLJC) announced Monday that it is filing an election crimes lawsuit in Wayne County Circuit Court in Detroit alleging "massive fraud in the election vote-counting procedures."  The complaint states that the criminal acts "disenfranchised lawful voters and potentially changed the outcome of the election."  The Great Lakes Justice Center is a non-profit corporation dealing with Constitutional liberties and other civil rights issues.  The Michigan law firm is representing two Detroit area residents who claim that Wayne County elections officials knowingly allowed "illegal, unlawful, and fraudulent processing of votes" cast in the general election.

Election Systems in Michigan County Appeared to Be Connected to Internet:  Sworn Affidavit.  Voting machines used in Michigan's Wayne County appeared to have been connected to the internet, according to a sworn affidavit signed by a poll watcher.  At approximately 11 p.m. on Nov. 3, Patrick Colbeck observed an icon identifying an active internet connection on the screens of the computers used to tabulate and adjudicate ballots.  "All it takes to confirm the connectivity status of a Windows computer is to roll the cursor over the LAN connection icon in the bottom right comer of the display," Colbeck's sworn affidavit states.  "When there is no internet connection, a unique icon showing a cross-hatched globe appears.  I proceeded to review the terminal screens for the Tabulator and Adjudicator computers and I observed the icon that indicates internet connection on each terminal.  Other poll challengers can attest to this observation as required."

State Department Precedent Qualifies This 2020 Election as "Rigged".  Was this election rigged?  According to precedents set by our State Department, the answer is "yes."  OANN Chief White House correspondent Chanel Rion tweeted out an interesting tidbit of information that Americans, and even their own government, may find interesting.  Going to the State Department's own website, we can see back in 2004 that our government was monitoring the Ukrainian elections and, after witnessing events that took place there, qualified the election as "rigged."  Why?  Because Ukraine experienced a wave of oddities that mirror exactly what happened during the 2020 election here in America.  Rion highlights the relevant part with a screenshot.  "Bottom Line:  According to our own State Dept's assessment of corrupt foreign elections, the 2020 US elections do not meet its own standards," tweeted Rion.

Missouri, Kentucky AGs Join Lawsuit Challenging Pennsylvania Mail-In Ballot Deadline Extension.  Attorneys general in Missouri and Kentucky have joined a Republican lawsuit challenging Pennsylvania mail-in ballots before the U.S. Supreme Court, according to multiple reports.  A spokesperson for Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt was cited by the St.  Louis Post-Dispatch as saying that Schmitt intends to add his name to an amicus brief — a legal document that can be filed by a non-party in a given case — in a lawsuit brought by the Pennsylvania Republican Party challenging the state's Supreme Court decision to extend by three days the deadline for receiving mail-in ballots, provided they are postmarked by Election Day.  Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron will also join the court filing, according to the Louisville Courier Journal, citing plans for attorneys general from Louisiana, Georgia, and Missouri to hold a virtual conference later Monday [11/9/2020] on what the outlet characterized as "major legal action."

Attorney Lin Wood On Why He Joined Trump's Legal Team.  Top attorney Lin Wood spoke at a rally in Georgia on Saturday about why he joined the Trump team in its fight against Democrats, Big Media and Big Tech lies and attempts to steal the election for Joe Biden.  He was outstanding.  Wood began his speech on why he was joining the Trump team with this:  ["]I was sitting around Tuesday night watching the election returns, I've loved politics all my life, since I first voted in 1972.  And I saw what I assumed was going to happen.  I saw President Trump building up what I believed was going to be almost an historic landslide victory.  Then all the sudden every network, including FOX News, started doing what they do best — they started lying to the American public.  And they took a victory from Donald Trump and they called it a lie.  They took a defeat from Joe Biden and lied and said he won.  And they sent you to bed, turning off the count of the vote so you could wake up the next morning like I did and go 'What happened?'[...]["]

Benford's Law Shows Biden Vote Fraud.  I was just going to include this in Monday's state-of-play voting fraud roundup, but since I found out that Facebook is blocking access to one of the source articles, literally preventing you from posting a link to it (I tested), saying that it "this link goes against our community standards."  So I decided to do this post to let you have something you can share on Facebook.  The first link I saw on the topic was this GitHub piece forwarded to me by reader Brandon Byers, who noted "the Wikipedia entry for Benford's Law was edited 11/5 in order to downplay its usefulness in detecting election fraud."  It appears that a lengthy edit war is still going on there.

Call in the Quants.  Did America just hold a deeply fraudulent election?  Many people believe so.  Disturbingly few seem willing to vouch for its integrity; instead, they insist that "there is no evidence of fraud."  Fair enough.  It's actually possible to split that difference.  America just held an election featuring many anomalies that have not yet been proven fraudulent.  It thus seems obvious that what America now needs is a fraud investigation.  Any inquiry into the integrity of Tuesday's elections must consider the entire process.  Taking things in order, ballots are produced (i.e., printed), distributed (to voters), completed (by voters), transported (via a chain of custody), delivered (to an Elections Board), handled (by a worker), tabulated (by computer or by hand), and reported (as part of the information revealed to the public).

The Election is Not Over.  The media does not determine the outcome of the election.  Governors of states will send electors to Washington DC in early December.  That is the Electoral College, and their vote will decide the presidential election.  So, the string of reports and stories and projections and suppositions about the new Biden administration is all part of an information operation to psychologically condition the public to accept Biden/Harris as a fait accompli.  It does not help that President Trump has gone golfing at one of his clubs in Sterling, Virginia for the past two days.  That is not a confidence-builder for the campaign staffers and party operatives out in the states he needs to legally challenge and flip.  Rudy Giuliani is in Philadelphia, screaming.  The president is golfing.  You cannot make someone want the presidency.

If Half the Country Thinks Biden Won by Felony Fraud ... It's Not Over.  The MSM called the election for Joe Biden on Saturday [11/7/2020].  The MSM has been full of fake news during the Trump presidency, so why should we believe them now?  They don't decide the election; the electors do.  The alleged election fraud is currently being litigated, and the Supreme Court has already stepped in, so it's far from clear yet how to report the results to the electors. [...] There is too much fraud here — concentrated in the swing states — to list in one column.  Voting machine irregularities that coincidentally tipped the vote to Biden.  Dead people voting.  Almost as many people over 90 registered to vote this year than that age group did in all of 2008-2019 combined.  A Pennsylvania mailman who said he was ordered to collect late ballots, and four postal workers who said they were told to change the date on ballots.  Election workers counting ballots without verifying signatures.  Videos of election officials filling out ballots.  More people voting than registered voters in some areas.  Wide discrepancies between Trump and down-ticket votes; former Justice Department prosecutor Sidney Powell said about swing states, "We've identified 450,000 ballots that Miraculously ONLY have a Vote for Joe Biden."

The Horrors That Await If They Get Away With Stealing The Election.  There isn't an educated soul anywhere that doesn't know that ballot stuffing is the normal Democrat ploy.  In Wisconsin, more votes were found than registered voters, the late "discovered" ones going to Team Biden.  We saw crowds for Trump in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and elsewhere that dwarfed those for Team Biden — elephants versus ants weren't in it — yet, somehow, Team Biden had more votes.  But only after the counts were stopped to see how many more votes were needed.  The panic over the coronadoom, a crisis that did not go to waste, contributed mightily to this.  Readers here cannot say they weren't warned.

More Anomalies In Late Vote Additions In Pennsylvania.  We went from four years of the media, the left, the Big Con, and the neoconmen insisting Russia, mysteriously and in an occult way as yet unidentified, tampered with the 2016 vote and stole the election from Hillary.  And now these same opportunists are insisting, just as stridently, that tampering with Presidential elections is impossible and that only the conspiracy minded could believe it.  This is the same group of people, incidentally, forever lecturing us on how intelligent they are.  Anyway, yesterday's demonstration that three separate counties removed about 10,000 votes from Trump Wednesday evening, and the late Friday addition of about 27,000 votes for Biden, after a point at which it was plain about this many would be needed to push Biden ahead, is in my mind the best indication something untoward happened in PA.  At the very least, the removal of Trump's votes needs to be answered.

Two Statistical Curiosities That Allowed Biden To Pull Ahead In PA.  All goes well for Trump until 2020-11-04 21:15:00 when he loses just under 10,000 votes, but curiously from three different counties simultaneously:  -1,063 Allegheny; -2,972 Bucks; -7,135 Chester.  Biden never lost any votes (at least, in this late voting).  Understand that this does not mean the decreases happened at this time, but that they were recorded in the official data as happening at that time.  And the same is true for our next observation.  Biden's next curiosity was the big increase of 27,396 votes at 2020-11-06 08:53:00 over one consecutive reporting period.  This bump is just like the blue-red F-memes you have seen:  this only seems more spread out because of the finer time scale used.  These two curiosities account for a 37,263 vote swing for Biden.  Biden's total, as of the end of this data, was 3,344,528, and Trump's 3,310,326.  Biden therefore "won", in this dataset anyway, by 34,202 votes.  Biden could not have pulled ahead without the curiosities noted above.

Keep Fighting in the Courts, and Start Fighting the Libertarian Party.  Maybe the election was stolen.  Maybe it was not.  Maybe thousands of votes were dumped in for Biden without cause.  Maybe not.  Maybe people voted twice, and maybe Republican ballots were thrown away and not counted, and maybe Democrat operatives sat up all night on November 3 creating fake ballots and filling them in for Biden — and maybe not.  That is what the courts are for.  The Trump team has every right to investigate the best they can, amass their evidence, and let the courts decide.  That is what justice is.  Anyone who would deny or even question the Trump team's right to challenge, to question, is in fact un-American.  There is nothing more American than to pursue justice through the courts.  No one knows that better than do the Leftists and their media.  It is a phony and duplicitous argument to tell the President that he should refrain from pursuing his rights "for the good of the country."  Sure.  Right.  Try that on anyone else over any other issue.  If there was election fraud, then it is for the good of the country that it be exposed and revealed.

How the most important election in our lifetime was rigged.  Gleeful that President Trump was finally driven from office by the implementation of massive mail-in voting in this pandemic election year, mainstream "journalists" are saying there's no evidence of widespread voter fraud.  Really? [...] Why on earth would election officials refuse to allow representatives of the opposing party to observe vote counting?  The answer appears obvious:  to conceal cheating.  How many Trump ballots in Philadelphia were maliciously invalidated by Democrat vote counters operating behind a veil of secrecy?  We will never know.  Michigan law forbids counting mail-in ballots received after 8 PM on Election Day.  As reported by Project Veritas, a U.S. Postal Service employee in Michigan testified on video that he and other postal workers were instructed by their supervisor to put mail-in ballots postmarked after Election Day in a separate bag so they could be hand-stamped with a bogus Nov. 3 postmark.  [Video clip]

USA 2020: Looks like a coup, smells like a coup....  With 200,000 and 138,000 Votes For Biden suddenly appearing at 4 am in Michigan and Wisconsin, they are not even trying to hide that something very wrong is going on.  But since the media collective were able to suppress the biggest political scandal since Watergate in the last two weeks, presumably they will try to do it again. [...] As Rudy Guiliani says, in many states it was impossible for Biden to win by the usual methods the Television networks have used for all past elections.  But whoever it is that decides these things held off announcing states that Trump had won.  The Trump states were delayed or not declared, Biden states (like Arizona) were called with many votes yet to be counted.  In key states at critical moments the counting of votes were stopped.  In the dark of night suddenly 200,000 pure Biden votes appeared.  What are the odds?  200,000 people in a row did not pick any other candidate?

Stop the Steal — Start the Audit.  Yes, it is true.  Philadelphia did in fact keep poll watchers out.  The baloney propaganda that they were allowed in to do their job is, as the censors of Facebook might say, "partly false."  Quite clearly, once allowed into the polling place they were told they had to stand six feet away from the person doing the counting.  (And only after a storm of complaints was the distance whittled down from over three times as far to six feet.)  Plain old-fashioned common sense says there is no way in the world anyone can thoroughly examine a ballot from six feet away.  The poll watchers should have been masked and seated at the same table as the counter.  If no social distancing is OK for social justice protests and election celebrations, then no social distancing is most certainly OK for poll watchers.  In other words, what we have witnessed in Philadelphia is nothing short of a brazen theft of an election — right in front of our eyes.

In the Fight.  First, let me start out by reminding the goose-stepping list-makers of the left that my last name contains two H's.  I just want to make sure that everyone knows that it was me who supported President Donald Trump and not some other guy.  I write this in Las Vegas, where I answered Ric Grenell's call to come out and help with the Nevada post-election chaos.  I'm not going to talk about specifics here, but I've seen individual and systemic irregularities that are sometimes shocking.  The idea that we are suppose to just shrug and accept this fiasco and go on as if there was nothing wrong with this election is a sure way to guarantee that these same issues will arise again and again and again.  Maybe that's the plan.  Actually, not "maybe."  That is the plan.  And trying to shame us in to acquiescing is part of it.  They spent four years insisting that President Trump's election was "illegitimate," and now are feigning shock when we react to the election they think gets the results they prefer with the same kind of disgust we would experience seeing Jeffrey Toobin's browser history.

Complete List of Suspected Fraud Issues in 2020 Election Sorted by State.  Below is a list of articles to date where potential fraud has been identified in the 2020 election and actions recommended to be taken to address issues known to date.  The issues and recommendations are categorized by state with an overall section first identifying all the actions to be taken across the states followed with additional actions to be taken at each specific state.  [Numerous links]

America in 2020.  The election that will bring this pair to power was rife was practices that enabled cheating on their behalf.  For example, a fair system of poll watching is a sine qua non of fair elections.  That's why the international community sends poll watchers to countries suspected of wanting to hold unfair elections.  In America, we don't use outside observers.  We rely on poll watchers from the two parties to monitor the counting of ballots.  If only one party has people present when votes are counted, the counting can't be trusted.  The vote counting can be halted for no reason other than the desire to figure out how many votes the favored candidate still needs.  Large tranches of ballots can suddenly appear, all or virtually all of which are for that candidate.  Alleged computer glitches can flip votes into the favored candidate's column.  It appears that all of these things occurred in America in 2020.  The favored candidate was Joe Biden.  The excluded poll workers were Republicans.

Attorney Sidney Powell Drops Massive Bomb:  "We've Identified 450,000 Ballots That Miraculously Only Have a Vote For Joe Biden".  During an interview on Fox News with host Maria Bartiromo, attorney Sidney Powell dropped a massive bomb as she laid out the legal battles that the Trump campaign faces in the coming weeks. [...] "There has been a massive and coordinated effort to steal this election from We The People of the United States of America to delegitimize and destroy votes for Donald Trump," Powell said on Fox News.  "To manufacture votes for Joe Biden.  They've done it in every way imaginable, from having dead people vote in record numbers, to absolutely fraudulently creating ballots that exist only for voting for Biden.  We've identified over 450,000 ballots that miraculously only have a vote for Joe Biden on them and no other candidate.  If you look at Florida where things were done right you can see that that is how the rest of the country should have gone.  But they also used an algorithm to calculate the number of votes they would need to flip.  And they used computers to flip those votes from Trump to Biden and from other Republican candidates to their competitors also."  [Video clip]

Ted Cruz Predicts 'Socialist Abyss' If Democrats Win Georgia Senate Runoffs.  Sen. Ted Cruz on Sunday predicted a "socialist abyss" if Democrats win two runoff elections in Georgia that will determine which party controls the Senate.  "If you want to check on Joe Biden, if you don't want to go over the edge to the socialist abyss, Georgia is the big enchilada," the Texas Republican said in an interview on Fox News's "Sunday Morning Futures."  Republican Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler will square off against their Democratic challengers in runoffs on Jan. 5.  Neither incumbent met the 50% vote share threshold required under Georgia law to win their elections outright.  Republicans have to win at least one of the races in order to maintain majority control of the Senate.  If they lose both seats, the Senate will likely be split 50-50, meaning that Kamala Harris would cast the deciding vote in the event of any tie.

The Editor says...
Harris would break a tie in the Senate only if the vote takes place after January 20, and only if Biden and Harris win the election, which is far from certain.

Sidney Powell Discusses Election Fraud.  Sidney Powell appears on Fox News to discuss what she knows about the manipulated and stolen 2020 election result.  Ms. Powell walks through a series of issues and highlights some of the fraudulent processes identified in the preliminary ballot review.  The statistical improbabilities are the most transparently obvious evidence, but will a court allow that evidence to be heard[,] or will more be needed[?]  In addition to ballot issues Powell discusses the Dominiom software "glitches" that flipped votes from candidate Donald Trump to candidate Joe Biden.  If what Powell outlines is accurate, and several people have outlined similar issues, there hopefully is a solid way to expose fraud on this scale.  [Video clip]

Sidney Powell:  People with links to powerful Democrats using Dominion voting machines to 'steal' votes.  Former federal prosecutor Sidney Powell accused a leading voting machine firm of stealing votes from President Trump.  Powell, the lead attorney for retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who is helping Trump's legal effort in the 2020 election, said on Sunday that people with links to top Democrats are using Dominion Voting Systems to commit "fraud" on elections. [...] The attorney also suggested that Dominion had a hand in tilting the primaries in Joe Biden's favor.  "Bernie Sanders might very well have been the democratic candidate but they've stolen against whoever they wanted to steal it from," Powell said.  Dominion did not immediately return a request for comment on Powell's claims.  The company, which has about a third of the voting machine market, according to Bloomberg, has faced scrutiny in the past couple of days with voting problems reported in parts of Michigan and Georgia, although the company and local officials have discounted the idea that the software was to blame.

Nancy Pelosi's Chief of Staff Is Chief Executive and Feinstein's Husband a Major Shareholder at Dominion Ballot Counting Systems.  The great Sidney Powell was on Mornings with Maria and she unloaded on the monstrous amount of Democrat voter fraud in the 2020 election.  But during this discussion Maria Bartiromo dropped a bomb as well.  During her discussion with Sidney Powell, Maria Bartiromo shared the following about the firm that runs the application used in Michigan where thousands of Trump votes were switched to Joe Biden.  [Video clip] [...] The fact that the Dominion voting machines flipped votes to Biden in at least two instances in Michigan alone is reason to audit all states where Dominion is used.

Rudy Giuliani:  Trump campaign has enough evidence to change Pennsylvania election results.  President Trump's attorney Rudy Giuliani said he has evidence that may change the results of the presidential electoral map.  In a Sunday [11/8/2020] interview with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo, Giuliani said the lawsuits being filed by the Trump campaign might reveal that up to 900,000 invalid ballots were cast in the state of Pennsylvania, a key election swing state several news outlets projected presumptive President-elect Joe Biden would win.  "Do you believe that you have enough to actually change the fate of the election?" Bartiromo asked.  "Well, I think we have enough to change Pennsylvania.  The Pennsylvania election was a disaster," Giuliani said.  "We have people that observed people being pushed out of the polling place.  We have people who were suggested to vote the other way and shown how to do it.  I'm giving you the big picture."

To base this decision on network vote totals and projections and to call Biden the president-elect is irresponsible.  [Thread reader]  The recounts in Arizona, Georgia, and the other states are likely to go heavily for Trump.  Most of the likely errors or invalid votes took place on mailed in ballots.  (Machine votes are harder to tamper with).  Since Biden won upwards of two-thirds of mail-in votes and absentee ballots, it is likely that most of the discarded mail ballots will be subtracted from Biden's total.  The networks currently give Trump 214 electorate voters (270 is the victory level).  Alaska, where Trump has led by 2:1 all week and is now more than half counted will likely throw its 3 votes to Trump giving him 217.  Trump has likewise led in North Carolina (15 votes) all week and his margin of 75,000 has not diminished.  He will undoubtedly carry North Carolina.  Like Alaska, the media will not call it for Trump to promote the illusion of a Biden victory.

Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis:  Winner of Trump-Biden race will be determined by courts — we don't know yet who won.  Despite projections by many news organizations Saturday that former Vice President Joe Biden has won the presidential election and defeated President Trump, the media don't have the power to decide the outcome of American elections.  Legal challenges by the Trump reelection campaign, where I serve as a legal adviser, are still before the courts and we await judicial rulings on our challenges.  In other words, as the late baseball great Yogi Berra said in 1973, referring to the National League pennant race:  "It ain't over till it's over."  We all want to know who will be president for the next four years.  But all Americans should want accurate results above all, no matter who they supported in the race.

Investigators Dispatched After Fulton County Discovers 'Issue' with Ballot Reporting.  Georgia's top election official is dispatching a team of investigators after a ballot "issue" was discovered in one of the counties most responsible for giving former Vice President Joe Biden the lead over President Trump.  While Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) did not reveal the nature of the issue with the ballots, he did announce late Saturday that investigators were headed to State Farm Arena in Fulton County to "secure the vote and protect all legal votes."

Nevada whisleblower affidavit alleges disregard of mail-in signature verification.  An affidavit from a Nevada whistleblower alleges that election supervisors Clark County, which accounts for the vast majority of voters in the state, counted mail-in ballots despite concerns about whether signatures were valid.  The whistleblower, according to a partially redacted affidavit obtained by the Washington Examiner, began working as a counting board member for the Clark County elections office in mid-October.  On Nov. 6, the whistleblower stopped working as a ballot counter "due to concerns about how the votes were being counting [sic]."  The affidavit has been sent to the Department of Justice.

What Can We Do?  It is ironic that the Left in America has accused the Republican party of disenfranchisement for two generations, yet they have demonstrated that exact thing over the last week.  Because that is what has happened.  Flooding the count with huge numbers of fraudulent ballots, undercounting Trump strongholds and overcounting Biden-supporting areas are functionally identical to voter intimidation, poll taxes, literacy tests and all of the things that traditionally are considered illegal impediments to free and fair elections. [...] One of the significant barriers to repairing the obvious structural advantages of the Democrat Party is the natural inclination of Democrats to work in government, and the equally natural disinclination of conservatives to seek employment in the most dysfunctional and least efficient segments of our economy.  But that is where the power to manipulate elections resides.  Government clerks and functionaries who manage the voting process are overwhelmingly Democrat, and until that changes we are at a significant disadvantage.

Trump campaign announces Rep. Doug Collins to lead Georgia recount effort.  President Donald J. Trump's campaign today [11/8/2020] announced that Rep. Doug Collins (GA-9) will lead the campaign's recount team in Georgia, where a recount will begin as soon as the canvassing has concluded.  "We are concerned about the lack of transparency in the tabulation process, especially given the reports of irregularities and improper ballot harvesting in Georgia," said Matt Morgan, Trump 2020 general counsel.  "In order for Americans to have full faith and confidence in our elections, every legal vote must be counted and every illegal or fraudulent vote must be excluded.  We look forward to guaranteeing that our elections are safe and secure, just as we look forward to President Trump winning Georgia."

New Election Math:  It's Not 270, It's 26-24.  The Democrats way overplayed their fraud hand.  Scores of bloggers are publishing lists of the Dead Vote.  Statistical algorithms used to identify voter fraud in third world countries, applied to this vote, show massive fraud.  It is only going to get uglier every day as more people come forward with fraud testimony, photos of trucks delivering ballots, and records of software that stops in the middle of the night.  The mainstream media and Big Tech almost unanimously deliver the message that "Biden won, it is time to come together, let's move on."  That would have worked before, but it is not going to work now.  It is not going to work because Donald Trump is not just a President.  As others have said, he is "our champion."  That changes the equation to one of a "cause" rather than an election.  There is no "coming together" when it's a cause.  Not after this kind of raw, bare fraud.  No compromise here.

Don't Jump Off That Ledge.  This Is Just a Blue Smokescreen.  You know how they kept talking about the red mirage?  Well, this is the blue smokescreen.  It's not really very convincing, and you can kind of squint through it and see the antifa goons looking all sad-faced, and how the low-info lefties are going to be disappointed like the kiddies who got a healthy snack for Halloween.  Honestly, guys, if you look at this the right way, you'll still be hopping mad, but you have to have a heart of steel not to laugh like a hyena.  Things are bad for the Dems.  Really bad.  You see, they thought that they had frauded (totally a word) enough in advance, and the polls assured them they were doing fine.  Then, come Election Day, [...] Trump pulled off a landslide election, and they had to stoop to counting and do their best to manufacture more votes ASAP. [...] Do I have proof they normally fraud?  Well, only my lying eyes, when in 2012 I saw 1/3 of the people coming to vote at the poll I was observing being told they'd already voted, and being told in some Denver precincts that the percentage was 2/3.  Must be a lot of amnesia going around, right?

From Wisconsin to Nevada to Pennsylvania to Georgia, Trump's 2020 Election Legal Challenge Starts to Take Shape.  It's unclear if the point on the 2020 election timeline has been reached that allows for serious discussion of legal challenges around what the Trump camp is suggesting looks like widespread fraud.  Too early and the newly gracious and delicate media will revert back to hurling invective, painting those giving such insane notions quarter as mad and pathologically incapable of just letting a legitimate loss go.  But the Trump administration's legal challenge — and his legal team has shown amazing resolve in revealing only little bits here and there — is starting to take shape, and it could put as many as 94 electoral college votes in play by some estimates.

132,000 Ballots in Fulton County, Georgia Have Been Identified Which Are Likely Ineligible.  There are reportedly 132,000 change of address flags in Fulton County, Georgia ballots.  These ballots are likely ineligible.  Kyle Becker and People's Pundit on Twitter announced moments ago that 132,000 ballots in Fulton Country Georgia are likely ineligible. [...] If these ballots are deemed ineligible, the state of Georgia is almost certainly won by President Trump and this is before the illegal voter harvesting in recent days is addressed.

This Isn't Just the Theft of an Election, This Is a Message to All of Us.  Using the specter of Chinese Lung AIDS haunting polling places, we've seen entire states mail ballots to people who didn't request them and quite possibly don't exist.  I say specter for a reason.  No sane person believes that a polling place is any more of a hotspot for Wuhan virus than a casino or BLM demonstration.  Yet the latter two are not deemed health risks but standing patiently in line in order to vote, we are told, is like a death camp.  We were told that the USPS was suddenly up to the task of doing something with 100% reliability.  We were told that there was no chance of vote fraud if we distributed ballots willy-nilly to anyone with a mailing address.  While votes were being cast, Republican poll watchers were evicted from precincts in heavily Democrat areas.  Some of these areas produced nearly statistically impossible 100% returns for Biden.  Thumb drives with votes were discovered days after the vote ended containing overwhelming numbers of Democrat votes.  Observers were banned from vote counting areas.

Dead voters.  Biden van full of ballots.  Trump legal team details shock Nevada claims.  President Trump's Nevada legal team beefed up its legal challenge to mail-in ballot signature verification in the state with startling claims of voter and ballot fraud.  Among the allegations:  dead voters, votes from thousands who no longer live in Nevada, and a van marked "Biden-Harris" full of opened mail-in ballots.  Former Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt, who is helping Trump's legal effort in the state, detailed grievances that the campaign has with mail-in ballot signature verification in Clark County, Nevada, which accounts for the vast majority of voters in the state.  "We were told that signature verification will save all chances of fraud," Laxalt said in front of a crowd of around 50 pro-Trump protesters on Sunday [11/8/2020].  Laxalt identified several complaints about the more than 600,000 mail-in votes cast in Nevada.  Laxalt said about 200,000 of those were verified through a machine, and never by a human.

Don't Believe the Hype:  GOP [is] Favored in Georgia Runoffs.  Republicans have won every statewide runoff vote in state history, an unbroken string that started in 1992.  Democrats counter by saying that Georgia is changing, and record turnout of mail-in ballots made the difference in giving Joe Biden his current lead in the state.  Political groups have already spent over $173 million on the Georgia Senate races this fall.  A multiple of that is likely to be spent over the next two months before the January 5 runoffs.  But Republicans like their chances no matter how many millions Democrats spend.

If there's fraud in the 2020 election, then we must find it.  There's more evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 election than there ever was of Russia collusion, so America is owed a legal examination of the election irregularities alleged by the Trump campaign.  It's not crazy to say this, despite the gaslighting from much of the media.  Basically, the election is down to roughly 120,000 votes of almost 150 million votes cast.  That's 0.08 percent, a tiny margin by anyone's reckoning.  Recounts have been ordered.  President Trump's campaign is challenging hundreds of thousands of votes in the courts.

'Cheaters Never Win'?  You know that saying "cheaters never win"?  It's just that — it's just a saying.  Cheaters win all the time. [...] What did we just witness?  They censored — strike that — right now they are actively censoring one side.  They controlled the media messaging, the stories, and the polls for one side.  Our media, because somehow that's their job now in this Orwellian, kangaroo-court, dystopian era we find ourselves in, called certain states for one side early — and not others.  Then five battleground states and the city of Philadelphia, with Trump leading, called a weird "time out" in the middle of election night — for one side.  Sent people home.  Yet, somehow, they tallied or found votes in the dead of night, as if the "ballot fairy" had visited them with batches of seemingly statistically impossible Biden-only votes.  Big Tech, corporate media, pollsters manipulated the vote for one side.  This is factual.  Twitter and Facebook picked the winners ahead of time — as if they knew better than all of us and as if it were for our own good.  They plainly and repeatedly interfered with the election.  All of this is just in the last 30 days.

Mathematical impossibilities may be what trips up Democrat plans.  Trump was the kind of candidate who was going to bring long, powerful coattails with him.  And we saw those coattails:  Republicans had a massive sweep at the state level across America, giving almost 60% of statehouses and governors' mansions to Republicans.  In the same way, at the House, the Republicans not only didn't lose seats, but they also gained seats.  Elementary logic says if there are coattails, there's a coat.  However, even as the down-ballot races went a bright, rosy red, we're being asked to believe that those same voters didn't want Trump.  That defies credulity.  What's much more likely is that those manufacturing fake ballots had limited time in their rush to create thousands of post-election day ballots for Biden.  They weren't going to fill in the dots for every race.  They just marked Biden and, maybe, the Democrat Senate candidate.  And that's what the data show.

Statistical Impossibilities in Wisconsin and Michigan.  If it is just the mathematical evidence Americans are looking for, there is endless evidence.  Here are just the facts. [...] In both Michigan and Wisconsin, several vote dumps occurred at approximately 4 am on Wednesday morning, which showed that Joe Biden received almost 100 percent of the votes.  President Trump was leading by hundreds of thousands of votes in both states as America went to sleep, and turnout in the state of Wisconsin seems to be particularly impossible.  With absentee ballots, former vice-president Joe Biden was also up 60 points in Pennsylvania and almost 40 points in Michigan According to the New York Times.  Comparably, Biden was only up single digits in absentee voting in most other battleground states.  Wisconsin has not yet been reported.  Elections officials in Michigan and Wisconsin could not explain Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's sudden and dramatic vote tally increase that occurred in both states Wednesday morning [11/4/2020].  When asked at a Wednesday press conference how this occurred, Michigan Department of State spokesperson Aneta Kiersnowski told reporters "We cannot speculate as to why the results lean one way or another."  This is particularly concerning considering republicans led in mail-in ballots requested and mail-in and in-person ballots returned leading up to and at the start of election day.

Another Cliffhanger.  On Saturday, when rallies were scheduled to take place in key battleground areas to demand only legal votes were counted, the major networks announced Biden-Harris were the winners.  Apparently, they are under the impression that they decide election results.  They don't.  On December 14, electors chosen by state legislators cast their votes.  No one else but the state legislators have that right.  (Article II, Sec. 1,§2 of the Constitution).  Certainly not the press, nor state boards of elections, secretaries of state, governors, or courts.  If they have reason to believe the elections in their states were unlawfully conducted and the results fraudulent, they can act to override them.  The Wisconsin, Michigan, Georgia, and Pennsylvania legislatures are majority Republican.  At first glance these states — particularly the precincts in Milwaukee, Detroit, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia — are the most suspect.  Is there ample evidence of fraud sufficient to have altered the will of the legal voters in these states?  It sure looks that way.

How Republican-controlled state legislatures can rectify election fraud committed by courts and governors.  Who determines the outcome of the presidential election in a given state?  Governors?  Secretaries of state or boards of election superintendents?  The courts?  Fox News' decision desk?  Nope.  The president wins a state when electors selected by state legislatures conduct a vote in their respective states on Dec. 14.  Thus, ultimately, according to the Constitution, the state legislators wind up serving as the kingmakers in a disputed election. [...] The Constitution, in Art. I, §4, cl. 1, gives state legislatures the power over the times, methods, and procedures of elections and provides no "public health emergency" exception that enables governors or judges to override them and create a new system for elections.  At its core, this is why we have such post-election chaos, and it was by design — set in motion for years by the courts and crystalized over the past few months by using COVID-19 to remake the in-person voting electorate into a postal ballot free-for-all, in what Justice Gorsuch described as the greatest judicial intervention in elections in 230 years.  Well, now state legislatures can have their revenge and have the final say, as intended by the Constitution.

There are no software 'glitches'.  Software is really stupid stuff.  It does not go off on its own, has no mind of its own, and there is no intelligence anywhere in code.  It performs instructions and does them over and over, exactly the same every time, no matter what.  Until something changes.  Something changing is not a "glitch." It is a change.  Software does not wake up in the morning and suddenly shift 6,000 votes from candidate A to candidate B, as in Biden.  An electrical impulse hitting from that outdoor lightning strike does not make code do something different.  It may fry a hard drive, but it does not change vote counts.  Software leaves tracks.  These are called log files. [...] If a computer system appears to wake up in the night, when a national election has stopped counting votes, and "glitches" votes from one candidate to another, guess what: it isn't the standard code.  Something changed and it is discoverable in the log files.  If there are no logs, it can usually be found in places where the application is writing to a database.  Whatever it was, and there are lots of choices, vote-counting software would be highly unlikely to do this during an election. [...] So when you hear that there is a "glitch" in the dark of night and votes got moved around, you can bet it wasn't the lightning strike or a broken water pipe.  It was someone changing something.  It likely left some tracks.  And my experience is there will be lots of tracks.  Competent forensic investigators know just where to look.

Did a 'computer glitch' flip 2,392,722 Trump votes to Biden?  We first learned about what was called a "computer glitch" that flipped Trump votes into Biden votes in the state of Michigan.  [Video clip]  But it's much, much worse!  In one county in Michigan Joe Biden was well ahead, but the tally didn't match with the past voting patterns.  In the last 135 years the voters of Antrim County voted Republican in 32 of 34 elections.  It turned out the software used in the voting machines had flipped as many as 6,000 votes.  After the error was fixed, Donald Trump was 2,000 votes ahead of Biden.  Another computer glitch in Oakland County Michigan caused a similar flip.  What are the odds?  Strangely, it didn't flip votes up for Trump, only down.  Not so much a bug perhaps as a design feature?  The philanthropy group that worked with Dominion from 2014 [to] 2017 to provide "access to Voting Technology" for "emerging democracies"?  The Clinton Foundation.  This voting technology may now be the largest automated system to steal an election in U.S. history.  Because of this the Republicans have asked for another 47 Michigan counties (of 83 counties) to recount their votes, but it's worse than that.  Dominion Software is used in 30 other states across the USA, including every single "key" swinging state.

Another election computer glitch in Michigan reversed as Republican declared belated winner.  A Michigan Republican received a welcome shock when his apparent loss at the polls was reversed due to the fix of a "technical glitch" that originally had him losing the election.  Adam Kochenderfer was originally declared the loser in his race against Democrat Melanie Hartman for a position on the Oakland County Board of Commissioners.  The narrow race appeared to end with Hartman the winner by just 104 votes.  Yet the county clerk soon discovered that a set of absentee ballots had actually been reported in the voter totals twice.  Once the duplicate set was removed, Kochenderfer came out ahead by 1,127 votes.

Biden's Texas Political Director Accused of Illegal Ballot Harvesting At Texas Supreme Court.  The Joe Biden campaign's Texas Political Director has been formally accused of helping to run an illegal ballot harvesting operation, according to two separate affidavits filed Monday [11/2/2020] at the Texas Supreme Court.  Two private investigators, including a former FBI agent and former police officer, testify under oath that they have video evidence, documentation and witnesses to prove that Biden's Texas Political Director Dallas Jones and his cohorts are currently hoarding mail-in and absentee ballots and ordering operatives to fill the ballots out for people illegally, including for dead people, homeless people, and nursing home residents, in the 2020 presidential election.  The affidavits were filed as part of the class-action lawsuit against Harris County and the state of Texas, filed by citizens, called Steven Hotze, M.D. et al.  Journalist Patrick Howley of National File has exclusively obtained this testimony and much more evidence will be coming out in the case.  Dallas Jones was named the Biden campaign's Texas Political Director in early September.

'Agent of Election Fraud' Charged with 134 Felony Counts in Texas.  State officials in Texas have announced the discovery of an "agent of election fraud" who was illegally submitting ballots in a Texas county.  TX Attorney General Ken Paxton announced the arrest of a woman who was posing as a social worker to illegally gather and submit the ballots of elderly and disabled patients in Limestone County.  AG Paxton revealed that the suspect, Kelly Reagan Brunner, has been charged with 134 counts of felony election fraud.

Georgia County Rescanning Ballots After Discovering Reporting Issue.  A Georgia county is rescanning ballots due to an issue related to reporting on the vote-counting conducted on Nov. 6, according to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.  A monitor and investigators are on-site at State Farm Arena in Fulton County, Raffensperger wrote on Twitter on Nov. 7.  "Fulton has discovered an issue involving reporting from their work on Fri.  Officials are at State Farm Arena to rescan that work.  I have a monitor & investigators onsite.  Also sent Dep.  SOS as well to oversee the process to make sure to secure the vote and protect all legal votes," Raffensperger said.  Raffensperger's office did not respond to a request for more details about the issue.

Claims by Michigan GOP could become a national scandal.  The Chair of the Michigan Republican Party claimed during a Friday press conference that faulty tabulating software was used in 47 counties across the battleground state.  The Chair, Laura Cox, said they don't know if it's incompetence or malfeasance.  The software that allegedly rigged Michigan elections in Antrim County over a glitch is called Dominion and was developed by Smartmatic.  Smartmatic machines, or at least some of them, are made in Venezuela.  It was allegedly used in about 28 states, perhaps as many as 30, including some swing states and Georgia.  We don't know if that's accurate.  Oddly, it only affected Republican votes in Antrim.

2020 Rejection Rate of Pennsylvania Mail-in Ballots Over 25 Times Lower Than in 2016.  Just the News conducted a county by county review to determine the rejection rate of mail-in ballots by the state of Pennsylvania in 2020.  The study found that only 0.036 percent of mail-in ballots were rejected this year compared to 1 percent in 2016.  "Mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania so far this year have been accepted at almost 30 times the rate predicted by historical rejection numbers," wrote Just the News' Daniel Payne.  Payne notes that only 951 of 2,614,011 mail-in ballots were rejected in 2020.  Due to concerns about COVID, the number of mail-in ballots has skyrocketed throughout the country this year.

Giuliani: GOP Poll Watchers in PA [were] Blocked From Reviewing Up to 500,000 Mail-In Ballots.  President Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani said on Saturday [11/7/2020] that not a single Republican poll watcher was granted meaningful access to vote counting in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, and vowed to fight in court to have those "uninspected votes" thrown out.  "Not a single Republican got to view a single ballot," Giuliani said at a press conference in Philly.  The Trump Campaign held the presser after multiple corporate media outlets declared former vice president Joe Biden the winner of the presidential election.  CNN, NBC News, CBS, and the Associated Press projected that Biden won in Pennsylvania, putting him over the top of needed electoral votes with 284, even though the Trump Campaign is challenging election results of several states in court due to widespread allegations of voter fraud and election irregularities.

In 30 States, A Computer System Known To Be Defective Is Tallying Votes.  Further down the 'Domminion Voting System' rabbit-hole, Politico reports that a technology glitch that halted voting in two Georgia counties on Tuesday morning was caused by a vendor uploading an update to their election machines the night before, a county election supervisor said.  Voters were unable to cast machine ballots for a couple of hours in Morgan and Spalding counties after the electronic devices crashed, state officials said.  In response to the delays, Superior Court Judge W. Fletcher Sams extended voting until 11 p.m.  The counties use voting machines made by Dominion Voting Systems and electronic poll books — used to sign in voters — made by KnowInk.  Neither Dominion nor KnowInk responded to a request to comment.  A spokesperson for the secretary of state's office also did not respond to follow-up questions about who uploaded the dataset and whether it had been reviewed and tested by anyone beforehand.

Michigan GOP Identifies Software "Glitch" in Voting System.  According to the Michigan GOP Chair:  Dozens of Michigan counties used the same Dominion voting software that caused 6,000 votes in one county to switch from Trump to Biden.  When corrected, the votes were reassigned to Trump.  [Video clip]  Additionally, it appears all of the key states like Nevada, Arizona, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia and Pennsylvania use the same Dominion software.

Software company linked to MI voter "glitch" also holds contracts in battleground states including PA, GA, AZ, NV.  The voter software company linked to the "glitch," which caused roughly 6,000 Trump votes to be credited to Biden in a Michigan county also services as many as 64 other counties in Michigan.  In addition to these counties, the software company also holds the voter software contracts in many... well all of the contested 2020 Presidential election jurisdictions.  Officials in Antrim County, Michigan, discovered a software "glitch," which caused roughly 6,000 Trump votes to be switched over to Biden.  A spokesperson for the Michigan Secretary of State told 6 News, the cause of the "glitch" was reportedly caused by "county user error" and not a software issue. [...] According to the Detroit Free Press, however, the voter information info was "scrambled" sometime after the cards were removed from the voting machine, "transported in sealed bags from the township precincts to county offices and then downloaded onto a computer." Regardless of how the error occurred, it did.  It has also raised some questions on whether this has happened in other counties.

A 2nd U.S. Postal Service Worker in PA Comes Forward to Accuse Supervisors of Backdating Late Ballots to Nov.3.  A second U.S. Postal Service worker in Pennsylvania has come forward to blow the whistle on the backdating shenanigans of his Trump-hating supervisors.  On Thursday, a whistleblower from a U.S. post office in Erie, PA told James O'Keefe, the founder of Project Veritas, that his supervisor has demanded that all late ballots be postmarked for Nov. 3, Election Day.  Now, a whistleblower from Coraopolis, PA, has told O'Keefe that his leadership ordered all late ballots to be separated and potentially postmarked for Nov. 3.  He said that when he clocked in on Wednesday, the 4th, "the postmaster told us that if we were to find any ballots on our routes that day, we were to collect them, keep them separate in a hod, which is what we call our plastic bins, bring them back, and then we would put them in another hod, and then they would send them to be counted."

Benson accused of letting 'partisan operatives' influence election.  A group of Michigan voters are suing Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson on claims she's allowed "partisan operatives" to dole out millions of dollars in private money for get-out-the-vote initiatives in select Democratic cities and counties ahead of the Nov. 3 election.  The lawsuit, filed Monday [11/2/2020] in the Michigan Court of Claims, alleges the Chicago-based Center for Tech and Civic Life gave money to county and local clerks in the battleground state to print and distribute absentee ballots and mail-in ballots and add drop boxes.  The goal was to increase ballots cast "in only certain urban and predominantly Democratic precincts" and "selectively influence the outcome of the 2020 general election," according to the filing.

Interview with Source on Electronic Vote Fraud.  Host L Todd Wood reveals the mechanics behind the electronic vote steal operation in an interview with powerful source.  [Video clip]

First-Hand Account Of Election Fraud In Detroit: 'They Did Not Want Us To See What Was Happening'.  Earlier this week, Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson denounced the lawsuit filed by President Trump's campaign as "frivolous," designed to spread "misinformation" and "sow seeds of doubt among our voters about the integrity of our elections process."  The lawsuit alleges that Republican election observers, known as "poll challengers," had been denied access to counting stations to observe the opening of absentee ballots, as required under state law.  Benson denied the allegation.  Poll workers, she said, had been "following every rule meticulously" as they counted the vote "transparently with people from both sides of the aisle — both looking on."  But that's not what one Republican observer says she saw at the Detroit convention center on Wednesday, where she volunteered to be an official GOP poll challenger.  Instead, she saw — and experienced — exactly what the Trump campaign says has been happening in Michigan and elsewhere:  GOP observers are being kept away from counting tables, expelled, harassed, and prevented from doing the job of ensuring ballots are counted fairly.

Evidence Suggesting Voter Fraud in Milwaukee.  [Thread reader] I've been looking at the vote counts in Milwaukee, and there's suspicious patterns in the data that need explaining. [...] Democrat votes started increasing massively relative to Republicans after Tuesday night counts.  This can't be accounted for by explanations like heavily Democratic wards reporting later.  When we look at the changes *within wards*, 96.6% of them favored the Democrats.  Democrats also improved massively against third party candidates, but Republicans and third party candidates are similar to each other.  Since there's little incentive to manipulate third party counts, the big change is in Democrat votes, not in Republican ones.  In down ballot races, Democrat increases within each ward were larger where the Democrat candidate was initially behind in the overall race on Tuesday night — i.e. relatively more Democrat votes appeared in races where they were more likely to alter the outcome.  This result is easy to explain by fraud, but is more complicated under other explanations like Democrats mostly voting by mail.

Investigators scramble to arena after Georgia's Fulton County discovers 'issue' with reporting of ballots.  Joe Biden's lead in Georgia could endure a significant shake-up with a reporting issue on Friday [11/6/2020] in one county.  Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said in a statement on Saturday evening that officials have been dispatched to State Farm Arena, the home of the NBA's Atlanta Hawks.  However, he did not describe what the issue was, nor did he say how many ballots may be affected.  "Fulton County has discovered an issue involving reporting from their work on Friday.  Officials are at State Farm Arena to rescan their work from Friday," Raffensperger said in a Facebook post.  "The Secretary of State has a monitor onsite, has sent additional investigators, and dispatched the Deputy Secretary of State as well to oversee the process to make sure to thoroughly secure the vote and protect all legal votes.  Observers from both political parties are there as well."

Antrim vote glitch:  Expert shares how county mistakenly flipped from red to blue.  A failure to properly update software was the reason for a computer glitch that caused massive errors in unofficial election results reported from Antrim county, the Michigan Department of State said late Friday [11/6/2020].  And a U-M professor of computer science and engineering who specializes in voting systems and securities says it appears the snafu arose from an "unusual sequence of events very unlikely to affect any other jurisdictions."  "The erroneous reporting of unofficial results from Antrim county was a result of accidental error on the part of the Antrim County clerk," the state agency that oversees elections said in a news release.

Top Dem Operative, Bernie Sanders Supporter:  Teams of Cheaters Steam Envelopes, Replace Voter's Ballots With Fraudulent Ballots — Nursing Homes are "Gold Mines".  The American public has been inundated with "experts" on voting who are working overtime to convince us that voter fraud is a myth and can't be committed on the massive scale, as President Trump and his supporters are suggesting.  More and more whistleblowers like an election worker in Detroit who was told to backdate ballots and former Democrat Governor Rod Blagojevich are stepping up and proving that the Democrat media's narrative about voter fraud being a myth is a lie.

The America I Love Is Being Stolen By An Evil "Win at all cost" Ideology.  I worked as a poll challenger in Detroit and left feeling like I was living in a third world country.  The chaos, the shouting, the badgering, threatening, bullying, and intimidating of anyone identified as a member of the other team (Republicans) was off the charts.  I walked away, feeling like the America I love is being stolen by an evil "Win-at-all-cost" ideology.  Last night, after watching the media, tech giants, Democrats, and back-stabbing Republicans attempt to convince Americans that voter fraud is a myth, and that mass voter fraud is simply not a thing, I decided to go live on our 100 Percent Fed Up Facebook page and explain what I saw or didn't see, thanks to Democrat operatives and Detroit election workers, at the TCF Center with my own two eyes.

Went to Bed in America, Woke Up in a Banana Republic.  [Scroll down]  Consider Pennsylvania.  The Biden candidacy was sinking like a stone in Pennsylvania in the closing days of the campaign.  In plain English, Biden was toast.  On November 3, Trump had a 12-point lead over Biden, amounting to a whopping 650,000 vote margin.  People much smarter than me were saying on the morning of November 4 that no, there is just no way that Democrats could possibly make up the deficit, no matter how many ballots they tried to fabricate.  Simply not possible!  100,000 fraudulent ballots?  Easy-peasy.  200,000?  Doable.  300,000?  Well ... maybe.  But 650,000?  Sure, smart people said, Democrats will try their level best, but even they can't possibly generate 650,000 fraudulent ballots.  Or ... can they?  Democrats kept counting, and counting, and counting — and they are still counting.  As of this writing, that 650,000 vote lead gradually vanished, and Pennsylvania has turned blue, with a 33,000 vote Biden lead that is inching upwards.  The more they counted, the more those shy Biden voters were turning out.  Thanks to a rabidly partisan pro-Democratic state Supreme Court, which a few weeks ago rewrote the election law on its own and gave everyone a few extra days to vote by mail, "voter" turnout was hitting unprecedented highs.

Here's Why a County Election Official in PA Admitted Poll Workers Violated State Law.  The Board of Elections Director in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Tom Freitag, admitted to Project Veritas that a poll worker violated state and federal law when spoiled ballots were thrown in the garbage outside of the election office.  Some of the ballots Project Veritas journalists uncovered had "SPOILED" written on them in permanent marker.  Others had voter signatures on the ballot and/or the envelopes.  The majority of them were pieces, as though the poll workers had also ripped them in various directions.  There were a few full ballots though.  Freitag was confronted after Project Veritas uncovered a number of ballots tossed in two trash bags.  According to Freitag, all spoiled ballots are to be held onto for 22 months, not thrown in the garbage.

America is unraveling.  As to whether Biden stole the election, one doesn't have to be a lawyer to have cause for concern.  Among other things, why would Democrats block Republicans from observing ballot counting unless they had something to hide?  And why would the left be unwilling to agree that we must count every legal vote?  And then there were the technical "glitches" that skewed results in favor of Biden, huge spikes in votes for Biden with none of Trump, suitcases of ballots delivered in the middle of the night, and sudden halts in ballot counting when it appeared Donald Trump was going to win, among countless other examples that suggest corruption in multiple battleground states.  So, the President and his team of lawyers are going to court.  What will come of this is anyone's guess.  My feeling right now is not hopeful, though I agree that he must see this through for the sake of the country.

Wait Just a Minute!  Some Very Good News May Be Coming.  [Scroll down]  Start with Pennsylvania.  Biden, as of this writing, is at 290 electoral votes.  Pennsylvania is 20.  I read the Justice Alito opinion, and it is pretty clear that he wants the after election night at 8:00 P.M. votes separated for a reason.  Biden is going to lose at the Supreme Court, and they know it.  Four justices already said the Pennsylvania Supreme Court cannot adjust voting rules.  A new arrival, Justice Barrett, says she is there to apply the rules in the Constitution.  OK, wanna bet she does?  Remove the after 8:00 P.M. ballots, and Biden loses Pennsylvania. [...] But wait: it gets better.  Let's visit Wisconsin.  Right now, it is 20,000 votes in Uncle Joe's direction.  Lots of stories out there, well below the Google fold, that there are way more Wisconsin votes than there are registered voters.  OK, maybe the dead can vote up there — probably a Midwest thing.  Well, last night, we found that Wisconsin election clerks were told, and followed the direction, to modify mail-in ballots and fill in the blanks where witnesses left out critical info.  I am sure it was just a good customer service thing and they meant no harm.  The problem is every such ballot is now toast.

Detroit Ballot Tabulators Entered Names of Non-Voters During Count.  Two observers who were at the TCF Center in Detroit during the absentee ballot counting process have produced affidavits claiming they witnessed workers create new voter files with information obtained from ballots. [...] "Every ballot was being fraudulently and manually entered into the Electronic Poll Book (QVF), as having been born on January 1, 1900.  This 'last' batch of ballots was processed in the 8 PM to 10 PM time frame," [Bob] Cushman wrote.  "When I asked about this impossibility of each ballot having the same birthday occurring in 1900, I was told that was the instruction that came down from the Wayne County Clerk's office."

The biggest loser in this election?  Confidence in the voting process.  [Scroll down]  Each individual claim of irregularities in handling the mountain of mail-in ballots currently being counted will need to be examined closely by observers from both parties.  But at this point, the stream of questions and accusations arising in nearly every battleground state has turned into a tsunami.  How does anyone expect the nation's confidence in the outcome of this process to remain intact?  Ed Morrissey already pointed out how a variety of technical issues and, frankly, administrative incompetence in several states turned this mail-in voting fiasco into a disaster.  But I think it runs deeper than that.  We were already becoming increasingly aware that the opportunity for voter fraud was more common than the mainstream media will ever admit, even if we don't know precisely how much is going on.  Dead people were found voting in New York City and Florida after early voting began, and that's just the ones that were caught.  Yet those are outside, criminal actors and we have ways of at least attempting to detect them and prosecuting the guilty parties.

What the Layperson Can Make of Election Law.  Election law is neither criminal nor civil, making it neither fish nor fowl, even though many of the shenanigans in this election have been truly foul.  Examples include Las Vegas letter-carriers supplying ballots to fraudsters, Detroit and Philadelphia refusing to allow poll-watchers, Milwaukee precincts with more Presidential votes than registered voters, and on and on and on...  Many others will litigate these issues in what remains of the free press.  I'll leave that task to them.  Here I will try to distill what can be known about the law into a tasty drink you can hopefully appreciate.  There aren't a lot of Court rulings to guide us about what to expect as legal remedies for election fraud.  This means that the best I can do is outline the issues.  The foremost is that an eligible, registered voter casts a valid vote in the manner prescribed by law, including voting on time.

With Locally-run Elections, a Handful of Big Dem Cities Now Can Control Entire U.S..  Democrats have lamented how the Electoral College gives smaller states outsized influence over presidential elections.  But consider what they've done via illegal means: given a handful of Democrat-run, major cities far greater influence over the current election.  That is, with vote-fraud being mainly a Democrat-big-city phenomenon, we now face the prospect that shenanigans in Philadelphia, Detroit, Milwaukee, Atlanta and some other leftist metropolises will be the deciding factor in who takes the White House next year.  (If you doubt this, know that ex-Democrat governor Rod Blagojevich just called such vote fraud a "time-honored" Democrat tradition.  All connected Democrats know this, by the way.)  Such corruption has made some wonder how it is that we have state- and locally-controlled elections for federal offices when these contests affect the whole nation.  It's a good question, and the answer is that this is part of the wide-ranging powers states are constitutionally granted.

Georgia Update.  Georgia is now the political center of the universe.  Trump's team is here looking into voter irregularities and reports of fraud.  Secretary of State Raffensperger announced today [11/7/2020] that there was a machine issue from the Friday count in Fulton County that they are now looking into.  Former Governor/AG Secretary Sonny Perdue [not to be confused with Senator David Perdue] is taking the lead on the PR side for the Trump Team here, and the state GOP is working in concert to determine next steps. [...] Here is where it gets somewhat absurd.  New residents may "move" to Georgia up until Dec 7 to vote in the January runoff.  I'll give you one guess which side is already talking about orchestrating a mass exodus to Georgia.

100,000 Provisional Ballots May Swing Pennsylvania Election Back to Trump Despite Massive Fraud by the Left.  Pennsylvania still has 100,000 provisional ballots to count.  The ballots are going three to one to President Trump.  President Trump could win Pennsylvania outright — AGAIN — despite the criminal activity of the Democrat party.

Report: Wisconsin Election Clerks May Have Illegally Altered Thousands of Ballots.  Poll workers in Wisconsin may have unlawfully altered thousands of mail-in ballots due to unlawful guidance from the state's election commission, according to a report.  According to Wisconsin law, an absentee ballot requires that it be signed by a witness who also lists his or her address.  Should the ballot not contain the a witness address, the ballot is disallowed and must be returned to the voter so that the witness can provide that information.  However, according to a report from the "Dan O'Donnell Show," sources claim that "clerks and vote counters" in the state wrote in the witness signatures themselves.  Furthermore, the report claims that the election workers chose to write in the addresses because they were illegally advised to do so by the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC).  If the poll workers did in fact write the addresses in, the ballots are invalid.

Trump Campaign Taking Numerous New Legal Actions In Election Battle.  On Saturday night, Fox News correspondent John Roberts highlighted numerous new legal actions that President Donald Trump's re-election campaign is taking as it seeks to continue its fight for a second term in the White House.  The report, which Roberts delivered on television, comes as many news organizations declared Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden the winner of the presidential election, even though some states have not been called and the campaign is challenging other results in the courts.

Biden's Lead in Arizona Dwindles as Large Number of Ballots Remain Uncounted.  As you're probably aware, some late ballot counting in Arizona has been slowly chipping away at Biden's narrowing lead over President Trump.  At the time of this writing, Biden's lead over the president is on life support, down to about 19,000 votes and falling fast.  According to some reports, about 200,000 ballots, perhaps even more, remain outstanding.  And that large number of remaining ballots offers hope for President Trump that he could end up carrying The Grand Canyon State.

RNC Chair:  Detroit Election Worker Blows Whistle On Cheating Operation:  "All Election Workers" Were Reportedly Told To Backdate Ballots.  RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel mentioned 2,000 votes in Oakland County that were for Republicans but were given to Democrats.  McDaniel told the media that on the morning of Nov. 4th, at the TCF Center, where absentee ballots were being counted, a whistleblower, who was not a Republican, but an election worker, was instructed by their supervisor to take a bundle of ballots that were not marked with any evidence of the date they were received and to enter the date of either Nov. 2nd or 3rd.  "Election workers became angry with the whistleblower and blocked this individual from the election process.  According to the whistleblower, all of the election workers were given the same guidance."  She continued, "Reportedly, one of the individuals was a city contractor and former Director of Elections, Chris Thomas."

Donald Trump Won the Election On Election Night — Now Media Reinforces What the BBC Calls Textbook Election Fraud, Declare Joe Biden the Victor Anyway.  Donald Trump won the election on election night, now, after many days of finding ballots, the media is claiming Joe Biden won the election.  The BBC laid out the tell-tale signs of third world election fraud, reinforcing indicators that all point to US election meddling.  If you don't believe that massive voter fraud occurred during the 2020 presidential election, then look no further than the progressive state run media known as the BBC.  The BBC clearly lays out the tell-tale signs of election rigging.  The article we will reference was written and intended for African audiences, as their elections are fraught with fraud, rigging and dishonesty.  But, as we have seen, the US presidential election hits all of the tell-tale markings of election rigging.

Vote rigging:  How to spot the tell-tale signs.  Watch the turnout figures — they can be a big giveaway.  You never get a 98% or 99% turnout in an honest election.  You just don't.  Voting is compulsory in Gabon, but it is not enforced; even in Australia where it is enforced, where you can vote by post or online and can be fined for not voting, turnout only reaches 90-95%. [...] Even where the turnout is within the bounds of possibility, if the figure is wildly different from the turnout elsewhere, it serves as a warning.  Why would one particular area, or one individual polling station, have a 90% turnout, while most other areas register less than 70%?  Something strange is almost certainly going on, especially if the high turnout is an area which favours one particular candidate or party over another.

Democrats unhappy.  Even as they steal the presidency, Democrats remain unhappy because they failed to steal the Senate.  They thought people would not split the ticket.  I did too.  We were wrong.  If you are going to stuff the ballot box, take the time to complete the whole thing.

In PA, Over 10,000 Ballots [were] Requested by People Aged 95 or Older.  Either Pennsylvania is the epicenter of the mythological Fountain of Youth, or something very strange is going on in the Keystone State.  Careful inspection of the Pennsylvania 2020 General Election Mail Ballot Requests shows that more than 10,000 ballots were requested and returned by individuals age 95 and over.  Liberty Nation tried to reconcile this oddity, but at publishing time, we still could not determine why so many people that old had requested to vote in the 2020 election.  Is this an example of largescale voter fraud, widespread county election board incompetence, or something more sinister at play?

Voter Fraud in Michigan.  Reports of voter fraud, and of barring Republicans from polling places so as to enable voter fraud, continue to pile up.  In Detroit, Republican poll watchers were prevented from carrying out their duties, presumably so they would not be able to observe and document the fraud that was taking place. [...] [Aric] Nesbitt says: ["]So what many poll challengers were actually seeing was that when the ballots were scanned and it did not match a voter in the electronic poll book, and it did not match a voter in the supplemental paper poll book, which was provided due to Michigan's law that allows for same-day registration, they were still allowing those ballots to go through and be counted.  And that is when the GOP poll challengers were issuing those challenges.  So they were either being ignored or kicked out when they were doing that.["]

An Open Letter to Every [...] Politician!  On the Election, Corruption, all of it!  [Scroll down]  And the 2020 Presidential election.  We all know you're going to do nothing.  It's obvious to everyone that the Democrats cheated by having Democrat votes magically appear in the middle of the night — all in key swing states, mind you.  How and why is irrelevant.  We've seen it and know the logistics.  We've done our jobs by voting and paying attention.  How about you do your jobs and start arresting people?  Why is Joe Biden the president-elect and not in jail?

Here's How Recounts Could Unfold In Critical Battleground States.  As Americans anxiously await the election results in the few decisive states that have yet to be called, President Donald Trump's campaign has signaled that it will pursue recounts in several battlegrounds including Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia and more.  Though Trump initially led by wide margins in each state, Democratic nominee Joe Biden pulled ahead in the days following as the states tabulated the influx of mail-in ballots.  As of Friday afternoon, Biden leads by tight margins in five states that Trump won in 2016, and stands on the cusp of reaching the 270 electoral votes required to win the election.

The Philadelphia Story:  Stealing an Election in Plain Sight.  Everyone with even a minimal grasp of reality can see what is happening in the Democrat-ruled confines of what was long ago known as the City of Brotherly Love.  In a grotesque paradox, the undoubtedly distorted tabulation of presidential votes is happening both in plain sight and behind closed doors.  Tens of millions of people feel sure that this is true and are witnessing it in real-time.  Effectively unmonitored and unaccountable election workers dutifully carried out the plan.  They take their orders only from the Democratic bosses who hire them and provide their marching orders.  Poll watchers [notwithstanding,] they just keep counting votes and rendering each one a part of the soon-to-be permanent and official record.  It matters not that everyone knows the vast and deep history of election fraud in Philadelphia. [...] The power brokers, such as those in Philadelphia, have granted themselves license to do as they please without reservation — even with the eyes of the entire world upon them.  This renders the legitimate outcome a matter of idle speculation.  And that is exactly how the Democratic machine wants it.

Trump Campaign to the Media:  Here's Actual Proof of Voter Fraud, Just as You Asked.  While the mainstream media was doing a victory lap for former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), the Trump campaign held a press conference about voter fraud in Pennsylvania.  "Let me just give you one concrete example, not anecdotal, but concrete example of what we believe to be valid voted fraud in the State of Pennsylvania," Trump campaign senior adviser Corey Lewandowski said during Saturday's press conference.  "I draw you to the attention of an obituary listed for Denise [inaudible] of Allegheny County.  Born 9/10/1946, deceased 10/22/2020.  Her application to vote was received on 10/23, the day after she died.  It was then mailed by the county back to her on 10/24/2022, two days after she had legally passed away and then the ballot was received back at the county office on November 2nd, 2020 and when you go to the Secretary of State's website today, it says that she voted in this election, effective November 2nd 2020, a full nine days after ... passed away."

Dems plot mass migration to Georgia to take advantage of runoff election.  As the fate of control of the Senate is still in doubt, two senate races in Georgia are likely headed for run-off elections on Jan. 5, because so far none of the candidates received above 50 percent of the vote.  Democrats will likely need to win both of them to retake the majority for the first time since 2014.  However, what appears to be a major loophole for potential voter fraud has created a strong likelihood that the balance of power in the US Senate will be decided not by current Georgia residents but by many new voters not in Georgia today.  Some Liberals, including journalists, are encouraging Democrats to move to red states like Georgia with the sole purpose of impacting future elections even suggesting that Michael Bloomberg should foot the bill.

When Establishment Republicans Tell You This Election Was on the Level, Do You Believe Them?  I mean, if people had evidence of mail-in ballots for Biden being illegally backdated after the election or post office employees trashing Trump ballots, that information would be easy to find in a free country.  It's not as if Biden has ever boasted about having the "most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization" in American history.  Surely Google, Twitter, and Facebook can be trusted not to censor important stories.  Because once companies that control the "town square" start censoring points of view, then free speech disappears faster than an Iron Curtain thudding to the ground.  If Big Tech companies were to censor conservative speech in order to affect a presidential election, then they would constitute a clear and present danger to Americans' freedoms.  A person who is targeted for his thoughts and persecuted for his words isn't free; he's a subject.  Amazon's Washington Post has been warning Americans for years that "democracy dies in darkness," so the last thing Big Tech would want to do is strangle the flow of information and keep us all blind.  Americans aren't exactly known for peaceably submitting to anything or anyone for very long.  Sooner or later, they rebel.  If Democrats looking into alleged Democrat ballot fraud find no Democrat crimes; and Democrat news anchors hold off on calling states for Trump until they've flipped days later for Biden; and Democrat social media companies censor online discussions questioning how it's possible for the president to expand his vote shares in states like Florida and Ohio and in Democrat precincts across the country while simultaneously losing in Rust Belt states run by Democrats after late-breaking vote bursts for Biden magically appear, then Republicans surely have nothing to worry about.  The same Democrats who call for rounding up Trump voters for punishment should be trusted to pursue the truth with openness and transparency.  That just makes sense.

America's Blue States Are Banana Republics.  [Scroll down]  All of this invites blatant election tampering that would have made Saddam Hussein blush.  Election security experts agree that of all the vulnerabilities any election can have, mail-in ballots provide the most opportunities for mischief.  Yet Democrats had used the COVID to cloak their longstanding intention to force a vast and unproven mail-in ballot regime across much of the country.  The crisis had come, don't let it go to waste.  Democrat election officials in blue states then used Election Night to destroy what was left of Americans' faith in our ability to hold fair and free elections.  Trump had leads in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Georgia (a red state, but with Democrats in control of its largest city, Atlanta), North Carolina, and Arizona (a red state but similar to Georgia with its population centers in Democrat hands). Nevada was in the mix too, stung on the Vegas Strip by the Democrats' shutdowns and shenanigans.  But almost as if they were dominoes tipped by the same sly hand, one by one the blue states simply stopped counting votes.  If they gave a reason at all, it was laughably vague.  Most just declined to give a reason.  They just... stopped.

Thoughts on Where We Stand Now.  [#1] My guess is that in a perfect world, where only legal voters vote, and everyone votes only once, President Trump won the election.  The problem is that, while there is ample evidence of many instances of voter fraud as well as innocent mistakes, there is no time to investigate them thoroughly and "prove" — as the press keeps demanding — that fraud or error swayed the election in a particular state.  This is an inherent problem that can be solved only by better electoral procedures, which the Democrats will fight to the bitter end.  [#2] Investigative journalism no longer exists, so the press outlets demanding that President Trump prove the prevalence of voter fraud will themselves do absolutely nothing to investigate whether the election was honestly decided.  [#3] Trump is right to play his hand to the end.  Lawsuits are pending in several states, and it may or may not prove possible to overturn the result in any state.  In all likelihood, it won't.  But the Democrats shouldn't be allowed to get away, unchallenged, with what in some cases was blatant fraud and abuse of the election process.

It's Time for Us To Get Mad.  After a few days of digesting, it has become clear to me that there has been breathtaking systemic corruption during this election.  It runs through the whole process.  You have the Biden family corruption, dealing with China, Russia, and Ukraine — which the national media has almost entirely refused to even consider investigating.  It goes to the big technology companies who have been censoring people.  Rush Limbaugh had four out of six tweets censored just yesterday.  I have been censored.  The President of the United States has been censored.  Facebook has apparently hired about a half-dozen Chinese algorithms specialists who have been helping the company perfect censorship in the style of the Chinese Communist dictatorship.  You have the corruption of incredibly rich liberals, who spent an amazing amount of money to defeat Republicans. [...] You go through the corruption of the elite news media, which for five years has been waging war on President Donald Trump and did everything it could to convince us that there was a giant blue wave coming.  Then, the wave didn't show up because they'd all been lying to themselves and to us.

Pennsylvania mailman says he was ordered to collect late ballots.  A Pennsylvania mailman has said in a sworn affidavit that he was ordered by supervisors to collect and submit late ballots, which he said supervisors then backdated so that they appeared to have been mailed in time.  Richard Hopkins, who works in Erie, said he overheard a supervisor talking about the backdating operation, and letter carriers were told to pick up ballots through Friday, even though under Pennsylvania's current rules ballots were supposed to have been mailed by Tuesday, though they could be delivered to election officials through Friday and still be counted.  "Postmaster Rob Weisenbach directed my co-workers and I to pick up ballots after Election Day and provide them to him," Mr. Hopkins said in an affidavit.  "As discussed more fully below, I heard Weisenbach tell a supervisor at my office that Weisenbach was back-dating the postmarks on the ballots to make it appear as though the ballots had been collected on November 3, 2020 despite them in fact being collected on November 4 and possibly later."

NC's two biggest races unlikely to change as officials continue to count ballots.  With an estimated 172,000 potential ballots left to count, North Carolina's election results are far from final.  But the updated tally is unlikely to change the results of the state's two biggest races.  An analysis of state data by The News & Observer shows at least 97% of votes cast have already been counted in the state.  As of Thursday, major news organizations had yet to call either the presidential or U.S. Senate race.

Postal Service delivers 40,000 more ballots after court-ordered sweep.  Approximately 40,000 mail-in ballots were delivered by the United States Postal Service on Thursday as it continued court-ordered sweeps of postal centers across the country, Reuters reports.  The Postal Service reported early Friday that it found 1,076 ballots at its Philadelphia Processing and Distribution Center, about 300 at a Pittsburgh processing center and more at other centers across the state.  Ballots in Pennsylvania must be postmarked by Election Day but can be received by Friday evening and still count.  It is one of more than a dozen states with deadlines to receive ballots stretching into next week.

'American Hustle': Party Insiders Tell The True Story Of How Philadelphia Elections Work.  Most Americans might not know the name Ozzie Myers, although a part of his tale was told in the hit 2013 movie "American Hustle" about the FBI sting that sent four congressmen to prison in the 1970s.  If you're from Philadelphia, though, you know his name, and knew it well before 2013.  He's important to the country now because he's currently under indictment for bribing a state elections judge to stuff ballots for Democratic candidates.  Among the candidates he was paid to get elected are three as-yet-unnamed judges sitting on the Philadelphia Common Pleas Court.  That's where President Donald Trump's reelection campaign has to go when local election officials refuse to let campaign monitors oversee ballot integrity, as has been the case these past few days throughout Pennsylvania.

Isn't it strange that "software glitches" favor the same party every time?
Software Glitch in Michigan County Tallied 6,000 Republican Votes As Democrat.  A glitch in software used to tabulate ballots in Antrim County, Michigan caused at least 6,000 Republican votes to be counted as Democrat, according to Michigan GOP Chairwoman Laura Cox.  The miscalculation, Cox said in a press conference, was first reported by a county clerk.  A short investigation revealed that 47 counties in Michigan may have also suffered from a similar glitch with the same software, which could have caused some red counties to rake in a higher number of Democrat votes than usual.  "Antrim County had to hand count all of the ballots, and these counties that use the software need to closely examine their results for similar discrepancies," Cox said.  "The people of Michigan deserve a transparent and open process."

Detroit city worker blows whistle, claims ballots were ordered backdated, FBI probing.  The FBI is investigating allegations of election fraud in Detroit after a city worker stepped forward and claimed election workers were asked to backdate ballots that had come in after the election deadline had passed, multiple officials said.  A senior law enforcement official in Washington confirmed that an investigation was opened after the whistleblower's concerns were forwarded from the Michigan Republican Party.  "The FBI is investigating," the official said.  GOP officials in Michigan said the whistleblower was identified and assisted by Phill Kline, the head of the Thomas More Society's Amistad Project, which has been litigating voting disputes and irregularities across the country for months.

The Editor says...
What a relief!  The FBI is investigating.  I'm sure we all have the utmost confidence in the FBI.

PA-based USPS Whistleblower Richard Hopkins Comes Forward & Agrees to Testify.  The U.S. Postal Service whistleblowers assigned to the General Mail Facility here agreed today [11/6/2020] to come forward to go on the record using his real name.  "He is going to testify about the backdating of ballots in Erie, Pennsylvania, in a battleground state," said James O'Keefe, the founder and CEO of Project Veritas.  "He's scared," O'Keefe said.  "He's afraid he's going to lose his job."  The Erie, Pennsylvania-based postal service whistleblower is named:  Richard Hopkins, he said.  Hopkins said, "I'm nervous.  I am nervous because this is a big deal."  Some people at his work surmised that he was the one to talk to Project Veritas about the scheme to postmark late ballots with 'Nov. 3,' which was Election Day, he said.  "I did not witness them backdating, I witnessed them talking about backdating," he said.

Pennsylvania's mail ballot results don't look right.  [Scroll down]  It is almost certain that Biden will win the state when all voting ends by fewer than 175,000 votes.  If the mail in vote split were not 57%, as announced, but something more consistent with the party registration of voters who sent back mail in ballots, the change in the margin for Biden among this voting group is a reduction ranging from 175,000 to 373,000 votes in the three scenarios with different vote margins from 42.1% to 50%.  Is there a good explanation for why Biden would win this voting population by so much more than the registration numbers suggest?  I do not see it.  Count me skeptical of Biden's margin of 57% among mail in ballots, and his soon to be declared "victory" in the state, which will elevate him to President elect with more than 270 Electoral College votes.

Rate of rejected mail-in ballots almost 30 times lower in Pennsylvania this year than in 2016.  Mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania so far this year have been accepted at almost 30 times the rate predicted by historical rejection numbers, raising potential questions in a state in which Democratic challenger Joe Biden is maintaining a lead of just several thousand votes.  A county-by-county review by Just the News of accepted and rejected mail-in ballots throughout the state of Pennsylvania show that, when added up, the state only rejected 951 of 2,614,011 mail-in ballots this year, or a rate of 0.03%.  That is significantly less than the historical rate of mail-in ballot rejection, which generally hovers around 1%.  For first-time mail-in voters the rate can jump as high as 3%.

Seven Kinds of Election Interference, from Fraud to Censorship.  The 2020 presidential election is still undecided, as of this writing, and accusations about "fraud" are flying.  The frustrating thing about these claims is that there is usually no way to verify them — partly because the people accused of fraud are often the same people who would have to investigate it.  Democrats claimed "Russian interference" in 2016, though there turned out to be no actual "collusion," and the actual effect of (small) Russian troll farms and alleged email hackers was difficult to determine.  The sad reality is that there are already legal ways for partisan actors to interfere with the election.

Lawsuit: At Least 21K Dead People on Pennsylvania Voter Rolls.  There are at least 21,000 dead people on the state of Pennsylvania's voter rolls, according to an amended lawsuit filed on Thursday [11/5/2020].  A lawsuit filed by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) alleges that there are at least 21,000 dead people on Pennsylvania's voter rolls.  The lawsuit claims that Pennsylvania failed to "reasonably maintain" their voter registration records under federal and state law in time for the 2020 presidential election.

Does a Great Voter Shift Explain the Need for Democrats' Fraud?  Of course there's evidence of blatant, systematic voter fraud in state after state.  After everything that the media, Democrats, Silicon Valley, and the deep state have done to try to tear down Donald Trump during the past four years, what else should we have expected? [...] Even for someone who's been writing repeatedly about the corrupt shenanigans of Trump's enemies, the apparent scale and perfidy of this operation are deeply dispiriting.  As someone who still likes to think that America is basically a decent country, the blatant partisan efforts of a news media that refused to call Trump states for Trump, officials in various states who stopped counting votes when things were looking good for Trump, and then suddenly located tons of Biden votes when they resumed counting again look beyond suspicious.  Trump himself saw all this coming, warning that the dandy new voting-by-mail system was a recipe for fraud.  Democrats and the media, from the New York Times on down, flatly denied this claim, even though Trump had plain common sense on his side, as well as innumerable examples of actual postal voting fraud.

Why The Nevada Challenge Could Be Important To The Presidential Election.  The Republican Party in the Silver State is now arguing that thousands of votes in the close presidential election were cast by workers who moved out of the state or even by deceased individuals.  Various voters reported their deceased relatives receiving live ballots in the mail.  Now, the Nevada Republican Party has sent a criminal referral to the Justice Department alleging at least 3,062 instances of voter fraud in the battleground state.  The referral is substantially less than the "10,000" referenced earlier but the underlying allegation is still important.  The early concern for many of us was that the system established in Clark County would be difficult to review for violations due to how the tabulation was handled and the record preserved.  The allegations over ineligible voting were raised before Election Day.  Many states like Nevada are relying on notoriously outdated voter lists and applying fairly lax standards for confirming the identity of voters for mail-in ballots.

The 2020 election: [something bad] is afoot.  I am more offended by how ham fisted, clumsy, and audacious the fraud to elect him is than the idea of Joe Biden being president.  I think Joe Biden is a corrupt idiot, however, I think America would survive him like we've survived previous idiot administrations.  However, what is potentially fatal for America is half the populace believing that their elections are hopelessly rigged and they're eternally [out of luck].  And now, however this shakes out in court, that's exactly what half the country is going to think.  People are [angry], and rightfully so.  Before I became a novelist I was an accountant.  In auditing you look for red flags.  That's weird bits in the data that suggest something shifty is going on.  You flag those weird things so you can delve into them further.  One flag doesn't necessarily mean there's fraud.  Weird things happen.  A few flags mean stupidity or dishonesty.  But a giant pile of red flags means that there's bad [stuff] going on and people should be in jail.

Supreme Court orders all of Pennsylvania's late arrival mail-in ballots to be set aside.  Associate Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito ordered all of the county election boards in Pennsylvania to segregate all late-arrival ballots from the rest of the mail-in ballots and to keep them separated when the voting is conducted in a Friday night [11/6/2020] ruling.  Earlier Friday, the Pennsylvania Republican Party had called upon the U.S. Supreme Court to take up a case related to Pennsylvania's own Supreme Court, allowing the extension of the counting of mail-in ballots to three days after Election Day.  The ballots had to be postmarked by the time polls closed on Tuesday, and the party asked the highest court in the land to order that those ballots be "segregated" and not counted at this time.

Learning from Pennsylvania's Election Chaos.  Last year, as a compromise between Democratic governor Tom Wolf and the Republican-controlled legislature, the state enacted election reforms that eliminated straight-ticket voting and implemented mail-in ballots for anyone who preferred to vote by mail, regardless of their eligibility for an absentee ballot.  Before any election occurred under the new law, though, Wolf and Pennsylvania's Democratic-majority Supreme Court ignored and even suspended voting deadlines and restrictions.  First, a day before the June primary, Wolf issued an executive order that granted a one-week extension for mail-in ballots received in several counties.  Then, in July, the Pennsylvania Democratic Party filed a lawsuit against the state, demanding an extension of the general election deadline for mail-in ballots, the allowance of "drop boxes" for casting those ballots, and a ban on lifting residency restrictions for election observers.  The Wolf administration asked the state court to back the Democrats' lawsuit against the governor.  In a September 17 ruling, the court delivered a Democratic victory.  The justices granted a three-day extension for the delivery of mail-in ballots postmarked by the evening of Election Day, approved the use of unstaffed drop boxes and satellite election offices, and required election officials to process mail-in ballots with no postmark.

Smoking gun:  Milwaukee 'updates' voter registration portal data to hide cheating.  The fix is in, but you knew that.  Now the cover-up-phase of the fix has begun to make it appear the cheating never took place at all.  One example was reported on this website yesterday and is now in the process of being "corrected" by election officials in Milwaukee.  A story published by the Milwaukee City Wire exposed an odd occurrence in seven Milwaukee voting wards.  They were reporting more votes than registered voters with "turnout" as high as 202%.  This is, of course, cheating.  But instead of examining the votes to determine where the cheating occurred, Milwaukee election officials instead edited the numbers on their voter portal to show move registered voters than there were before.

Michigan County's Updated Results Show Flip From Biden to Trump.  The Michigan county that found skewed election results reported an updated vote count on Thursday [11/5/2020].  Antrim County initially reported that 62 percent of voters chose Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden for president.  But the updated results show President Donald Trump received 56 percent of the approximately 17,000 votes, compared to Biden's 42 percent.  Trump received 9,783 votes to Biden's 7,289.  That was an increase of over 5,000 votes for Trump, compared to the initial results.  Political observers expressed shock when the initial results were posted because Antrim is run by Republicans and was won by Trump by a large margin in the 2016 election.  Antrim County officials still haven't identified what caused the skewed results.

Georgia Secretary of State: 'There Will Be a Recount'.  Georgia's secretary of state announced Friday [11/6/2020] the state will have a recount of the 2020 election.  "Right now, Georgia remains too close to call.  Out of approximately 5 million votes cast, we'll have a margin of a few thousand," Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, told reporters during a press conference at the state capitol.  "With a margin that small, there will be a recount," he added.  As of 10 a.m., there were a little under 5,500 votes left to count, officials said.  Most are in Gwinnett County.  Another 8,890 outstanding military ballots will be counted if they're returned by Friday evening and were postmarked by Election Day.

The USPS can't account for 300,000 absentee ballots, but that's probably not as bad as it sounds.  U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan was furious Wednesday that the U.S. Postal Service had defied his order to sweep postal processing facilities in 15 states Tuesday to find missing absentee ballots and deliver them on time.  The USPS had said in a court document that 300,000 ballots had been scanned into facilities but not scanned out, suggesting they were misplaced.  Instead of complying with Sullivan's order, the USPS kept to its own schedule, raising concerns that tens of thousands of ballots would not be delivered in time to be counted.  "It just leaves a bad taste in everyone's mouth for the clock to run out — game's over — and then to find out there was no compliance with a very important court order," Sullivan said.  He suggested he would demand a deposition from Postmaster General Louis DeJoy.

GOP Expert Describes Plan to Reveal Ballot Fraud.  A GOP expert on political demographics is raising funds to help expose likely vote fraud in Wisconsin, Michigan, and other states.  The money will be used to help identify the claimed votes by people who are dead, become inactive, or moved out of state, Matt Braynard told Breitbart News.  He has raised $163,000 by Friday morning [11/6/2020].  The project will cost $100,000, he said, and the extra funds raised above that total will be used to get affidavits from people whose ballots were cast without their approval.

Of Vote Fraud, Hard Evidence, and Swing State Margins.  Thus far, Team Trump had done a solid job laying the foundation to challenge the election, which is something the 70 million or so Americans who voted for President Trump deserve.  It is simply a fact that when vote fraud is discovered, more often than not, and for obvious reasons, it comes by way of mail-in ballots.  In the past, that didn't matter so much.  Very few people voted by mail.  This year, upwards of 50 percent voted by mail, and did so in crucial swing states, so we are right to be skeptical, right to demand transparency, right to want to be satisfied this was indeed a fair election.

The Fight is Now.  The results last night revealed conclusively that our supposed experts lied to the nation throughout 2020's election season with deceptive polls, statistics, and percentages about Trump's chances.  This is no surprise — we already know our ruling class has lied non-stop to the American people about President Trump for four years.  Now we are asked to simply trust corrupt Democratic political machines in one-party cities to count the vote honestly.  We will not.  Instead, Republicans must aggressively investigate and prosecute any and all wrongdoing in the attempt to steal this election.  The reason the Democratic Party just broke all the norms related to voting in America is because they are trying to fend off a loss.  They hastily changed the rules midstream by means of hundreds of lawsuits, using COVID as an excuse, and a stream of stories of troubling irregularities is now flowing out of the remaining disputed states.  The question upon which everything now depends is whether or not Republicans are willing to stop them.

Rod Blagojevich:  Dems Stealing Elections [is] a 'Time-Honored Tradition'.  In the wake of President Donald Trump sounding the alarm on potential voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election, former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich (D) on Friday [11/6/2020] accused Democrats of stealing elections for a long time.  Blagojevich told Newsmax TV's "John Bachman Now" that Democratic stronghold cities changing vote counts overnight, and controlling polling places is a "time-honored tradition."  He went on to say that Democrats "stealing the presidency" is "incredibly dangerous to our democracy."

Keep the Faith — President Trump Will Win The Election Based on the Constitution Per Retired Intel Operative Tony Shaffer.  President Trump has a great case and will win this election based on the Constitution per retired Intel Operative Tony Shaffer.  Tony Shaffer is a retired Intelligence Operative and current President of the London Center for Policy Research and a member of President Trump's 2020 Advisory Board.  He believes the President won the election and has a great case in the courts to prove it.  Shaffer created a fire on Twitter yesterday [11/5/2020] when he questioned whether the President may have marked all the ballots in this year's election which would indicate if a ballot counted was legitimate or not.

Sidney Powell Calls For Investigation Into Electronic Ballot Systems That May Have Impacted Thousands of Votes.  During a bombshell interview with Fox Business host Lou Dobbs, former prosecutor Sidney Powell called for an investigation into electronic ballot systems which may have changed "3 percent of the vote."  "I think they need to investigate the likelihood that 3 percent of the vote changed [due to] preelection ballots collected digitally by using the Hammer and Scorecard programs," she said during the interview.  "I think Hammer and Scorecard were used by Democratic operatives who had access through government access points," she added.  "They used them to illegally change votes.  It's been used against other countries.  It's just been changed recently [to be used] against our own citizens."

'Segregated And Secured': Alito Orders Late Pennsylvania Ballots Counted Separately.  Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito issued an order Friday [11/6/2020] calling for the segregation of all Pennsylvania ballots received after 8 p.m. on Election Day. [...] Democratic Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar issued guidance Sunday that directed poll workers to count all mailed ballots that arrived after 8 p.m. on Election Day but before 5 p.m. on Friday, November 6.  Previous guidance called for late ballots to be kept separate from the ballots that were received on time, and they were to remain uncounted.

Supreme Court orders separate count of late-arriving Pa. ballots.  The Supreme Court on Friday ordered Pennsylvania election boards to separately count mail ballots that arrived after Election Day, while rejecting a GOP request to stop counting those votes.  The order, signed by conservative Justice Samuel Alito, left open the possibility that the justices could exclude the late-arriving ballots in a subsequent ruling, a move which Alito and at least two other conservative justices have previously signaled they may be inclined to take.

Corrupted Software Used in Michigan County that Stole 6,000 Votes from Trump — Is Also Used in All Swing States.  A so-called computer 'glitch' fix in one of Michigan's counties has led to 6,000 votes switching from Joe Biden to President Trump.  The Head of the Republican Party has asked for an additional 47 counties be recounted after the fix since these 47 counties also use the same Dominion software. [...] The Dominion software "glitch" ONLY took votes from President Trump and Republicans.  Dominion is used in 30 different states.

The Democrats' Chickens Come Home to Roost.  First, obviously, it will devolve onto the courts to determine whether President Trump even had a setback at all.  That is, the election may have been stolen.  We all know the concerns and allegations:
  •   Poll watchers forcibly kept outside the range of view needed to assure honest tabulating.
  •   Storefront windows boarded up to prevent the public from seeing what the vote counters were doing.
  •   States like Pennsylvania where a judge unilaterally allowed elections to proceed under rules that violate explicit state law.
  •   Incomprehensible vote dumps attributed to typos.
  •   Democrat officials saying they will allow ballot envelopes that arrive without postmark even after Election Day.
  •   Questions of illegal vote harvesting.

Let's Take Stock of Where We Are.  The 2020 election in particular, and our electoral process in general, have been badly compromised.  First there have been the successful efforts by Democrats to loosen electoral administration standards and practices by legalizing ballot harvesting (where partisan "volunteers" go out and collect ballots as well as "assist" voters in filling out their ballots), allowing same-day voter registration, mass mail-in voting, and the like.  On the flipside we have Democrats tenaciously fighting any efforts to shore up the integrity of the system, such as requiring ID and proof of citizenship to vote.  Couple all of this with unprecedented last minute rule changes on the eve of what was sure to be the most contested election in generations, if not in American history:  all changes designed to favor one side over the other.

Texas Charges Social Worker With 134 Felony Counts Involving Election Fraud.  Texas state officials announced late on Friday afternoon [11/6/2020] that they have charged a social worker with 134 felony counts of election fraud and other related charges.  "Attorney General Ken Paxton today announced that his Election Fraud Unit assisted the Limestone County Sheriff and District Attorney in charging Kelly Reagan Brunner, a social worker in the Mexia State Supported Living Center (SSLC), with 134 felony counts of purportedly acting as an agent and of election fraud," the state said in a statement.  "State Supported Living Centers serve people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.  Brunner submitted voter registration applications for 67 residents without their signature or effective consent, while purporting to act as their agent."

American Coup Victims Will Not Go Quietly.  This was a Coup.  It lacked, at least for the moment, the spilled blood often associated with a classic coup d'etat but make no mistake about it — this was a coup.  A record number of Americans fought an unusual number of hardships to make certain their voices were heard in the selection of our next president.  And, given the stark difference in the candidates' visions for America's future and the growing national divide, that choice was surely not made lightly.  So, when we on the right observed one "irregularity" after another on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, what we needed were answers and transparency.  What we got were evasions and coverups.  Keep in mind that we have endured over the past 4 years a seeming century's worth of dishonesty, hoaxes, threats, wild conspiracy theories and widespread corruption from those on the left.  Indeed, Liberals appear to have made sport of treating Donald Trump and his supporters much like a cat treats a litter-box.  And we got the message:  There is no limit to just how low they are willing to sink.

Philly's long history of corruption includes judge convicted of bribery to cast fraudulent ballots.  Even as members of the mainstream media largely dismiss concerns about possible voter fraud, they are ignoring Philadelphia's long history of endemic political corruption.  Less than six months ago, for example, a former Philadelphia Judge of Elections pled guilty and was convicted for his role in accepting bribes to cast fraudulent ballots and certify false voting results during the 2014, 2015, and 2016 primary elections.  Domenick J. Demuro, 73, Judge of Elections for Philadelphia's 39th Ward, 36th Division, pled guilty during a sealed proceeding on March 16 before U.S. District Judge Paul S. Diamond to conspiring to deprive persons of civil rights, and using interstate facilities in aid of bribery.

A Pro Bono Lawyer for Trump Campaign Shares What He Saw in Pennsylvania.  [Quoting Tom] Ranieri:  Well, the first thing that happened was, I walked in to the pre-canvas location at 7 that morning, around 7:30, actually.  And there was a line of people trying to get in to watch the pre-canvas.  And this guard came up to me.  This Allegheny County worker was manning the door and he was very agitated.  I didn't understand why, but he very much wanted to talk to me.  So he ended up talking to me for 15 minutes.  And in the course of that 15 minutes, told me that he had observed them turning on the voting machine the day before, he had seen them running ballots through it.  And when he asked them what they were doing, they told him that they were just removing deceased people, but you're not supposed to do that until 7 a.m. on the day of the election.  So, that was probably a lie.  So automatically, first thing I hear, eye witness testimony from a county worker that they had been tampering with the machine in Allegheny County before the day of the election and had been counting or otherwise using the machine to get votes or to do something before they were legally allowed to do so.  So immediately, I'm thinking this is shady.

The election coup plot, explained.  I fully expect that Twitter and Facebook will suppress circulation of this blog post, but so what?  The half of the country that never strays beyond the mainstream media narrative would find it unbelievable, a fantasy of conspiracy theorizing.  After four years of their media telling them that Russia hacked the 2016 election, and Hillary claiming she was cheated, the new media-approved narrative is that any questioning of electoral fraud is an attack on democracy.  Such people are a lost cause, unless (or until) crimes are proven in court and election cheaters are sentenced to prison.  But for the rest of us who have eyes and brains, there is no stopping suspicion and activism in the "nasty street fight ahead."

Don't Believe the SurrenderCons, the Supreme Court and a Weak Senate Majority Cannot Stop Biden-Harris's Rush to Socialism.  As President Trump and his team go to the mattresses to stave off the most blatant attempt to steal a presidential election since Joe Kennedy purchased the one in 1960, SurrenderCons have been lining up to do what they do best:  surrender and kowtow before any available Democrat.  Make no mistake about it.  These folks writing at National Review (they actually had writers endorse Biden) and at other stump-broken and nominally conservative outlets are ecstatic to see the last of Donald Trump.  But they've also seen the intensity of the 60+ million people who turned out to vote for President Trump, and they know they can't say out loud what they are feeling.  So they are tut-tutting; they are ignoring the industrial, Manhattan Project-like scale of the vote fraud inflicted upon the nation by Democrat politicians removing essentially all voting safeguards where they held sway [...]

Trump legal challenges muddy water for Biden victory.  The turning point was Arizona.  When Fox News called the Sun Belt State, which had only voted for a Democratic presidential candidate once since 1948, for Joe Biden at 11:20 p.m. on Election Day, it sent a ripple of boos around the East Room of the White House, where guests were watching results on two big screens, before triggering a three-pronged response inside the Trump campaign: anger at the network for an early call, a slew of fundraising emails, and the rollout of a legal strategy to challenge results and keep the president in the White House.  "Why did they call Arizona almost as soon as polls closed when they waited to call Florida, where our polls showed we were up big?" said Kelly Sadler of the Trump-supporting super PAC America First Action.  "It was ridiculous."

Pollster Nate Silver says calls that Biden won Arizona 'should be retracted'.  With 89% of the vote tabulated, no news agency has yet called a winner in Pennsylvania, where President Trump leads Joe Biden by 164,418 votes, according to Politico.  In Arizona, with 88% of the vote counted Biden is leading by 68,390 — but Fox News and the Associated Press have already called that race.  Data journalist Nate Silver, founder and editor in chief of the website FiveThirtyEight, which focuses on analysis of polls, says that was a mistake.

Graham: I'm Donating $500,000 to Trump Legal Fund, We'll Be Briefed by Campaign on Saturday.  On Thursday's broadcast of the Fox News Channel's "Hannity," Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) announced he will donate $500,000 to President Donald Trump's legal fund and that Senate Republicans will receive a briefing from the Trump campaign on Saturday.  Graham said, "I'm going to donate $500,000 tonight to President Trump's defense legal fund. ... The allegations of wrongdoing are earth-shattering.  It makes the... Carter Page warrant application look on the up and up.  So, Senate Republicans are going to be briefed by the Trump campaign Saturday, and every Senate Republican and House Republican needs to get on television and tell this story."

Trump again Claims Victory, Predicts 'a Lot of Litigation'.  President Trump again claimed he'd win the presidential election on Thursday despite unfinished vote counting in various crucial states, and said that the Republican Party was now demonstrably the "party of the American worker."  "If you count the legal votes, I easily win.  If you count the illegal votes, they can try to steal the election from us," Trump said at a White House press conference, predicting "a lot of litigation."  The president alleged that pre-election polls were designed to favor Democrats in order to "suppress" the vote from Republicans.  The Trump campaign has attempted to sue for vote recounts in Wisconsin, Nevada, Michigan, and Georgia, although judges have struck down attempts in the latter two states.  As Joe Biden racked up wins in swing states, Trump wrote on Twitter that his campaign would attempt to investigate the results for possible fraud.

Is Ballotgate the Single Greatest Crime in Modern American History?  [Scroll down]  As expected, the Biden team, enjoying complete and total mainstream media support (interestingly, finding Fox News to be its most steadfast ally in this election), immediately began to lie and spin, suggesting that Trump was trying to "shut down the counting of duly cast ballots."  That is, in fact, the precise opposite of what Trump said.  Trump wanted these states to continue counting the votes that had been duly cast.  He said that voting must stop, since the polls had closed, and he did not want any ballots that were "unduly" cast to mysteriously appear.  The examples of this happening are too numerous to list here.  But for the sake of time, we'll limit this discussion to Michigan, where, indeed, hundreds of thousands of new votes appeared overnight, overwhelmingly votes for Biden.  As poll watcher and attorney Kelly SoRelle reports from Detroit, three vehicles arrived at around 4 A.M., with "at least 130,000 ballots" which "were not delivered to the precinct before the cut off time" and that "literally 100% of those ballots" were votes for Biden.  Amidst all of these allegations, rather than ramping up transparency, efforts have been made to limit access for GOP observers to the process.  Nonetheless, there are several reports of ballots being counted despite having no names on them.  James O'Keefe has released video of a whistleblower who reports that U.S. postal workers in Michigan were issued directives to back-date late mail-in ballots as received November 3rd, 2020, so they are accepted."  There are so many crimes suspected to have occurred here that the severity of each of them may be lost in the deluge.  But I cannot help thinking about this in the appropriate context, despite the media efforts to downplay the high-level political crimes that are being alleged.

The vast scope of election fraud in America. 
Georgia:  Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced on Thursday [11/5/2020] that there were fewer than 25,000 uncounted absentee ballots in the state.  Just a few hours later, he revised that to around 55,000 [to] 60,000 ballots.  He said that the 30,000 [to] 35,000 ballot fluctuation was normal.
Michigan:  Despite a guarantee under Michigan law, the Trump campaign was denied access to voting locations across the state.  A postal worker whistleblower revealed to Project Veritas that the supervisor at the branch in which he worked instructed carriers to collect all ballots received on November 4, after the election deadline, and put them in a special "express" bin.  Once there, they were hand-stamped "November 3" and then forwarded to the distribution center.  Keep in mind that postal carriers have skin in the game because the 300,000 strong National Association of Letter Carriers (both retired and current) endorsed Biden, saying that his winning was a matter of "survival."  William Bradley, who was born in 1902 and died in 1984, voted by absentee ballot in Wayne County.
Nevada:  Nevada was one of the states that used the Wuhan virus to mail election ballots to all registered voters.  Project Veritas has a video of a Las Vegas mailman passing a handful of unclaimed ballots to an undercover journalist.

It's Not Even Close to Being Over — Not by a Long Shot!  The reality is that President Trump won in a landslide.  Even the Las Vegas betting odds switched to him Tuesday night after he built substantial leads in swing states by midnight on Election Day.  Unfortunately, they didn't account for Dementiacrat ballot harvesting in those states!  Late on Election Day, President Trump was ahead to the point of statistical certainty that he would win Wisconsin, NC, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Nevada (all swing states).  Then, the Democrat governors in those states magically stopped the vote counting in the middle of the night: [...] Somehow, sufficient ballots were "found" to put Biden over the top in several of those states (with more movement toward Biden coming in the rest for those "found ballots").  Many of those bunches of ballots "found" were exclusively marked for Biden — a statistical impossibility.

Milwaukee Officials Have Some Explaining to Do.  The highest voter turnout in recent years nationwide was 61.6 percent in 2008.  In 2012, the last year for which data are readily available for Wisconsin, the turnout was 65 percent.  If the Wisconsin average was 88 percent statewide, some parts of the state obviously had to have higher numbers.  In this regard, the City of Milwaukee is suspect, and not all of Milwaukee, either.  Contrary to expectation, in many of the wards with the heaviest concentration of black American voters, the turnout was relatively light.  Joe Biden was no Barack Obama, but more on this in a minute.  As a caution, let me call this a work in progress.  I am looking at a ward-by-ward spreadsheet that strikes me as a legitimate.  Those who know Milwaukee better than I should feel free to contact me through American Thinker.  The most striking feature of the data is a fact that cries out for clarification: in seven wards, voter turnout appears to have exceeded 100 percent.  In two of those wards, turnout exceeded 200 percent.  In another 15 wards, voter turnout exceeded 95 percent.  Joe Biden carried 21 of the 22 wards of the 95-plus-percent wards.  But then again, he carried all but one of the 67 additional wards in which the turnout was above 90 percent and won 80 percent of the vote citywide.  In 25 wards, Biden received 97 percent or more of the vote, none higher than 98 percent.  Based on exit polls, it is highly likely that these were overwhelmingly black districts.  No other demographic could produce those numbers.

The Voters Versus the Vote Counters.  In several swing states, vote counting suddenly stopped for hours in heavily Democratic precincts.  This mysterious halt was almost certainly ordered to forestall an impending Trump victory.  When Facebook and Twitter users pointed out this skullduggery in Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, the social media censors branded them purveyors of "misinformation."  Inevitably, the sleuths at PolitiFact backed up the thought police, citing the most corrupt county in Georgia as an example of electoral rectitude:  "Election officials in Fulton County, Ga., briefly paused counting ballots after a pipe burst at a facility in Atlanta."  The leak damaged no ballots, yet the pause lasted four hours.  This is hardly the first time the Democrats have resorted to such tactics, but this year marks a dramatic escalation — both in audacity and scope. [...] Trump is ahead in Pennsylvania, and the Democratic political operatives running the count don't want the election workers to finish the tally and be forced to announce that the president has won the state.  They are clearly hoping that one or more of the other swing states will drag Joe Biden over the 270 mark while Pennsylvania dithers.  If Biden were ahead in this state, there is no chance these people would have taken Thursday off.

Armed federal agents could be sent to examine ballot-counting locations, Justice Dept tells prosecutors.  The Department of Justice sent a memo to prosecutors Wednesday saying it could send armed agents to ballot-counting locations to investigate potential voter fraud, The New York Times reported.  While federal law prohibits armed troops or law enforcement from stationing at any place an election is held unless force is determined "necessary," the Department of Justice (DOJ) believes the law allows agents to station at places that are counting votes following the election, three unnamed officials familiar told The New York Times.  "[The statute] does not prevent armed federal law enforcement persons from responding to, investigate, or prevent federal crimes at closed polling places or at other locations where votes are being counted," senior DOJ official Richard P. Donoghue told prosecutors in an email Wednesday, according to The Times.

I hope this is really true, but I don't know...
Former State Dept Official and Ex Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Says Trump Encrypted All Ballots, This Is A Massive Sting Op!  Infowars guest and intelligence expert Steve Pieczenik broke bombshell news during Thursday's [11/5/2020] broadcast of War Room with Owen Shroyer.  According to Pieczenik, President Trump assumed Democrat tomfoolery would be needed to prevent him from securing a second term via the 2020 election.  In order to ensure the election remained fair, POTUS devised an advanced trap.  Hidden, trackable watermarks were allegedly put onto ballots so they could be verified if necessary.  [Video clip]

Isn't it odd that Republican votes are never "found" somewhere, days after the election?
Virginia Democrat Spanberger surges ahead after 'overlooked' ballots found on flash drive:  Report.  Virginia Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger has now surged ahead in her tight race with a Democratic challenger after officials reportedly discovered thousands of "overlooked" ballots on a flash drive.  Spanberger, is a former CIA official who was part of the 2018 Blue Wave that gave Democrats control of the House.  Her victory ended the GOP's stronghold on the state's 7th congressional district seat.  Her challenger this year is Republican Nick Freitas.  The election-watch group Virginia Public Access Project tweeted late Wednesday afternoon that Spanberger was down by about 1,350 votes following a canvassing effort by county officials.  [Tweet]  Less than an hour later, however, VPAP reported she had jumped considerably ahead of Freitas, in part the result of an infusion of over 14,600 previously "overlooked" ballots found on an Henric County county flash drive.  The memory stick had been "mislabeled as 'provisional ballots'," the group said.

The Spygate Coup Attempt Destroyed Media And Democrats' Credibility On Voter Fraud.  After enduring four years of corporate media and congressional Democrats peddling lies, half-truths, and false narratives, Donald Trump voters will never believe a Joe Biden victory was lawfully achieved.  While there is no short-term fix to that fallout, if our republic is to survive and flourish, there must be a reckoning by elected officials and journalists and a course correction — no matter whom is declared the winner of 2020.  Since Tuesday's election, America has witnessed some strange happenings in the voting tallies.  Equally bizarre is the unbelievable phenomena we are witnessing of down-ballot Republicans riding Trump's coattails to victory, with the president himself allegedly defrocked at the finish line.  Then there is the evidence of up to 6,000 illegal votes cast in Nevada, and credible evidence of fraud in Michigan and Pennsylvania.  Social media is flush with many more serious-sounding claims of voter fraud, but separating rumors from the real concerning charges is difficult.  The process will continue weeks, maybe even months, with recounts and court battles.

Surveillance Video Shows Penn Voter Counters Filling In Ballots Themselves.  A video being spread on social media tonight reportedly shows a Delaware County, PA poll workers filling in circles on mail-in election ballots.  So far, Delaware County election officers have yet to respond to this video.  [Video clip]

70,000 Michigan Voters Chose Joe Biden But Not The Incumbent Democrat Senator Gary Peters.  Yes — I've considered the possibility that the missing votes were "ticket-splitters" who voted for Joe Biden for President, and GOP Candidate John James for Senate.  But that explanation doesn't hold up, as explained below. [...]

Justice Department:  Armed Federal Agents Can Be Sent to Investigate Ballot Counting Centers.  On Wednesday, the Justice Department reportedly sent prosecutors a memo indicating it could indeed send armed federal agents to investigate voter fraud at any of the nation's ballot-counting centers.  As relayed by The New York Times, three anonymous officials confirmed that, unless the use of force is deemed "necessary," federal law prevents police or armed troop from being stationed at locations where elections are being held.

How Republican-controlled state legislatures can rectify election fraud committed by courts and governors.  Who determines the outcome of the presidential election in a given state?  Governors?  Secretaries of state or boards of election superintendents?  The courts?  Fox News' decision desk?  Nope.  The president wins a state when electors selected by state legislatures conduct a vote in their respective states on Dec. 14.  Thus, ultimately, according to the Constitution, the state legislators wind up serving as the kingmakers in a disputed election.  Endless pots of unverified mail-in ballots that often fail to meet state election law standards weren't created overnight at 3 a.m. on Nov. 4.  They were created by a mix of illegal administrative actions taken by Democrat administrations in the key states and state and lower federal courts overriding long-standing state election laws.  This has been going on for years, but accelerated to a fever pitch over the past few months.

We're Supposed To Believe The GOP Had A Great Election Night Except For President?  [Scroll down]  It would be mystifying if Republicans won more seats in the House, retained the Senate, and picked up state legislative seats, all while the same voters voted against Trump.  Trump has solidified his support among Republican voters and enjoys a massive approval rating from them he didn't have in 2016, and expanded his coalition to more working-class and minority voters this year.  This is not a blue wave year.  This is a year that the blue wave of 2018 appears to be receding.  Yet we are supposed to believe the same media-Democrat complex that fed us wildly erroneous polls all year, and runs false information operations on us about coronavirus, the Russia hoax, and everything else they can use to steal power, that this blue wave's evaporation did not at all affect the top of the ticket?

And then, suddenly, the counting stopped."  [Thread reader]  "Through the night, all such ballots came from heavily Democratic areas posting unusually, improbably high turnout.  85% in Milwaukee?  A city that turned out at only 61% in 2016, and even with Obama on the ballot in 2012, at 71%?  But 85 % for Sleepy Joe?"  "Turnout in Wisconsin overall is alleged to have been 89.25%, more than five standard deviations for the state's mean turnout since 1960 — another statistical impossibility."  "One might also wonder why this urban blue wave materialized only in close states.  Milwaukee was way up but not Cleveland?  Philly but not St. Louis?"

Trump Addresses the Nation:  They're Trying to Steal and Rig This Election.  Speaking from the White House Thursday evening [11/5/2020], President Trump slammed "corrupt" Democrats in Philadelphia and other leftist jurisdictions, claiming they are working to rip away the election.  "Our goal is to defend the integrity of the election," Trump said.  "We'll not allow it to steal such an important election, or any election for that matter."  "If you count the legal votes, I easily win.  If you count the illegal votes, they can try to steal the election from us," he continued.  "I've been talking about mail-in voting for a long time, it's really destroyed out system.  It's a corrupt system and it makes people corrupt even if they aren't by nature, it's too easy.  They want to find out how many votes they need and then they seem to be able to find them."

President Trump is simply suing to stop the counting of bogus votes.  As the American public waits, confused and annoyed that there is no presidential winner, Democrats insist that we should just be patient.  That the turmoil is normal.  It's a bald-faced lie.  The post-election limbo is a deliberate creation of the Democratic Party.  In the months leading up to the election, the Democratic National Committee and allied groups blanketed swing states with armies of lawyers filing suits to challenge voter-ID laws, signature-verification laws and, more than anything else, deadlines for mail-in ballots — as if elections should no longer have deadlines but instead be staged as a rolling, never-ending process.  The Biden-Trump contest was held under a set of rules foisted on an unknowing public and likely to tilt the election.  The pretext for all these changes was the pandemic.  But the fact is, this nation has elected presidents in a timely way during world wars, polio epidemics and many other emergencies without doing away with Election Day finality.

Republicans send criminal referral to DOJ about alleged voter fraud in Nevada.  Republicans sent a criminal referral to the Justice Department, seeking an investigation into alleged voter fraud in Nevada, a state President Trump needs in order to have a chance of winning a second term.  The Nevada Republican Party announced on Thursday that lawyers reached out to Attorney General William Barr with vote counting still underway in the Silver State and just after Trump held a press conference at the White House during which he accused his opponents of trying to "steal" the election.

Levin: Pa.  Secretary of State Is Violating This Exact Clause of the Constitution.  Conservative host Mark Levin blasted both Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar, as well as Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts for their handling of the presidential election.  Levin claims that Boockvar, by counting votes that arrived after Election Day without valid postmarks, violated Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 of the Constitution, which reads, in part:  "Each state shall appoint, in such manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a number of electors, equal to the whole number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress."  "The reason why election statutes, election laws, were left to the states... is because the states demanded it or they wouldn't ratify the Constitution of the United States," Levin said.  "They specifically rejected federal election laws, they specifically rejected judicial review, they specifically rejected the governor, and, of course, they would've rejected the secretary of state."  Levin contends that Chief Justice Roberts was wrong not to take up a case pertaining to this law in Pennsylvania prior to the election on Tuesday.

Battleground State GOP Sends Thousands of Voter Fraud Cases to the Department of Justice.  The Nevada Republican Party on Thursday [11/5/2020] announced that they have sent more than 3,000 criminal referrals over voter fraud to Attorney General William Barr.  The state party, however, believes that number could potentially increase, especially as allegations of voter fraud continue to come in.  [Tweet]  The Nevada GOP shared multiple instances of issues surrounding voting in the Sagebrush State.  [Tweet]  People new to Nevada also reportedly could not vote because of voter ID laws and the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic.

Donald Trump Declares Election Fraud, 'If You Count the Legal Votes I Win'.  President Donald Trump promised Thursday to level significant legal action to challenge elections in important swing states after watching his margin of victory whittled away by late-counted ballots for Vice President Joe Biden.  "We think there's going to be a lot of litigation because we have so much evidence, so much proof, it's going to end up perhaps at the highest court in the land, you'll see," he said.  "We think there'll be a lot of litigation, because we cannot have an election stolen like this."

Rush Urges Trump Supporters to 'Keep the Faith' As Dems Use 'Fraud' and 'Deceit' to Steal Election.  Conservative talk radio king Rush Limbaugh took to the airwaves Thursday [11/5/2020] to reassure President Donald Trump's supporters that the man they voted for isn't about to lie down and just let Democrat Joe Biden and his surrogates steal the election from them.  As he spoke, Biden's lead in Arizona was shrinking, and election officials in Clark County, Nevada — perhaps certain of a Trump victory — announced they were postponing announcing results until Nov. 12.

Ric Grenell slams the 'Harry Reid machine' as he addresses voter complaints in Nevada.  Nevada Democrats have been accused of preventing Republican observers from watching signature checks on massive numbers of mail-in ballots, and Nevada GOP officials are going to federal court for a restraining order to try to temporarily stop the count of alleged illegal votes in Clark County.  At a press conference announcing the litigation, former Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt and Trump campaign co-chair in that state made reference to the mail-in ballot law that Nevada Democrats jammed through in August which has prompted all sorts of chain-of-custody (or lack thereof) discrepancies.  "We were told that signatures would save us from all fraud, but to date, we still have not been able to observe these signatures or meaningfully challenge a single mail-in ballot out of hundreds of thousands of ballots cast.  "We firmly believe that there are many voters in this group of mail-in people that are not proper voters," Laxalt explained.

Election 2020: When Can We Expect Results?  On the evening of Thursday November 5th, an entire 48 hours after polls closed in some states, we still do not know whether Republican incumbent Donald Trump or his Democratic challenger Joe Biden have emerged victorious.  Multiple states are still in the process of counting ballots, and potential or real challenges from the Trump campaign mean that an official result seems unlikely in the immediate future.  Here is an overview of when we can expect results from each of the states, which have either yet to declare a winner, or will possibly experience a recount or challenge of some sort.

'I Can't Believe What I'm Seeing — This is a Coup' — Registered Democrat and Poll Watcher Details Corruption at Philly Vote Counting Center.  A registered Democrat and poll watcher at the Philadelphia Convention Center overseeing ballot counters detailed corruption at the highest levels in the city of Philadelphia.  "They will not allow us within 30 to 100 feet to supervise the ballots being counted," poll watcher Brian Mchafferty said.  "This is a coup against the President of the United States of America and I want to call out the Mayor of Philadelphia, James Kenny... the Attorney General Josh Shapiro who tweeted that there was no way that Donald Trump would win president of the United States of America...."  He continued, "I can't believe what I'm seeing right before my eyes.  This has nothing to do with Joe Biden or Donald Trump.  This has to do with our democracy and I will tell you, there is corruption at the highest levels in the city of Philadelphia."

The Disinformationists.  A republic is not just a nation of laws.  It also relies on its good-faith watchdogs, such as honest pollsters, the media, and bipartisan institutions.  We still didn't know the final result of Tuesday's presidential election as of Wednesday night.  But there are lots of reasons to worry that something in America has gone terribly wrong.  Many of the mainstream pre-election polls predicted that Donald Trump would lose in a landslide.  He did not — to the shock of a host of propagandists.

Secret Audio Of Detroit Poll Trainer Instructs His Trainees How To Destroy Republican Ballots.  Shane Trejo of Big League Politics shared shocking audio that exposed the tactics of a crooked elections trainer who was essentially teaching the workers how to intimidate poll challengers and poll watchers, and how the election workers plan to throw away provisional ballots.  "Where's it going?" she asked about the provisional ballots.  "We have how many days?" she asks, replying, "Six!"  She continued, asking the workers she's training, "So, what's the department of elections going to do with them?"  She answered her own question, telling them that election officials are going to, "Destroy it!"  [Video clip]

The Worst Is, They'll Get Away With It.  [Scroll down]  And it's very clear what is being attempted this week.  Anyone who can defend 89 percent turnout in Wisconsin, or 138,000 votes magically appearing in Biden's column when none appear for Trump in Michigan, or Republican observers being barred from the room when votes are counted in Pennsylvania, Michigan, or Nevada, or mail-in ballots continue to be accepted after deadlines set by state legislatures in multiple states, without recognizing the corruption of the process inherent in these tactics, is either brazenly dishonest or a drooling simpleton.  You would see such tactics and you would rub your eyes in disbelief.  How can Americans sanction such Third World behavior? you ask.  Power.  That's why.  A Biden presidency makes the man in the White House beholden to these people who invested so much in so manifestly unfit a candidate, and it puts an end to the time of a modern-day Gracchus who would devolve that power from the elites to the middle class.  For that, anything is justified.

Why Does Biden Have So Many More Votes Than Democrat Senators In Swing States?  In most elections, the majority of votes are cast "down the ticket" — meaning, a voter supports both party's presidential nominee and state Congressional candidates.  In fact, according to Pew Research, "overwhelming shares of voters who are supporting Trump and Biden say they are also supporting the same-party candidate for Senate."  Typically, this means that that the number of votes for a presidential candidate and that party's Senate candidates are relatively close.  Twitter user "US Rebel", however, found that the number of votes cast for Joe Biden far exceeds those cast for that state's Senate candidates in swing states, while those cast for Trump and GOP Senators remains far closer.  In Michigan, for example, there was a difference of just 7,131 votes between Trump and GOP candidate John James, yet the difference between Joe Biden and Democratic candidate Gary Peters was a staggering 69,093.  In Georgia, there was an 818 vote difference between Trump and the GOP Senator, vs. a 95,000 difference between Biden and the Democratic candidate for Senator.

Republicans Score "Massive Legal Victory" In Philadelphia.  [Scroll down]  Moments later, White House Correspondent Carrie Sheffield tweeted:  "BREAKING: Appellate court in PA this morning ruling guarantees GOP observers can watch the ballot counts.  They had been pushed away 16 sometimes 100 feet away.  "I can't stress enough how big a victory this is. — Justin Clark, Trump Deputy Campaign Manager."

Pennsylvania USPS Whistleblower Exposes Anti-Trump Postmaster's Illegal Order to Back-Date Ballots.  Project Veritas released an undercover bombshell video of a Pennsylvania USPS whistleblower exposing his anti-Trump Postmaster's order to illegally back-date ballots.  "The fraud is happening as we speak... they are going to be collecting and back-dating ballots in Pennsylvania TOMORROW according to our whistleblower," O'Keefe said.  "Ballots that are coming in today, tomorrow, yesterday, are all supposed to be postmarked the 3rd" the whistleblower said.

USPS Carrier in PA Claims Higher-Ups Instructed Workers to Backdate Ballots.  Watchdog group Project Veritas on Thursday [11/5/2020] released their third video of alleged voter fraud.  A United States Postal Service carrier in Erie, Pennsylvania claims to have overheard a conversation earlier in the day where his postmaster instructed carriers to allegedly backdate newly-received ballots.  "This morning I was casing my route, and I saw the postmaster pull one of our supervisors to the side and as he was — and it was really close to where my new case was so I was able to hear, listen in and I heard him say to the supervisor that they messed up yesterday," the whistleblower explained.  "... And he told the supervisor they had postmarked one of the ballots the 4th instead of the 3rd, because they were supposed to put them for the 3rd."  According to the whistleblower, the postmaster was upset because he's a "Trump hater."

Nevada Mail Worker Caught on Tape Suggesting Voter Fraud to Remove Trump.  The latest undercover footage from Project Veritas and James O'Keefe reportedly shows a USPS worker in Nevada hinting he may commit voter fraud in order to help remove President Trump from office.  "I'm gonna see if I can get you some (ballots), like a nice little handful..." the tape shows.  [Video clip]

Keystone State Holds Key To Trump's Re-election.  Who would have known that reporting problems last winter during the Iowa caucus — due to a defective and untested app — would be a harbinger for the voting disasters to come in Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, Arizona and Nevada.  The problems in these five states were not caused by a defective app but instead by the unprecedented amount of mail-in ballots due to the Covid-19 pandemic. [...] According to the Public Interest Legal Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public interest law firm dedicated entirely to election integrity, there were 244 counties that exceeded 100% voter registration and another 279 counties across 31 states that exhibited registration rates of 95 to 99 percent.

The Editor says...
This is why the Left wants automatic voter registration for everyone who has any contact with the state governments, e.g., driver's license renewal.  If the only people registering to vote are those who intend to vote, the registration percentage would be fairly low:  perhaps 50 percent.  With every resident registered to vote, whether they want to be or not, the door is open to massive fraud and 100 percent "voter turnout."

Why Trump Keeps Fighting:  America's Future Is At Stake.  With his willingness to fight, Trump once again shows why his voters remain so intensely loyal.  It's becoming clear that the 2020 election will take weeks, if not months, to sort out.  Trump is demanding that we "make every legal vote count," and is seeking recounts and going to court to make it happen.  "If you count the legal votes, I easily win.  If you count the illegal votes, they can try to steal the election from us," the president said.  "I've already decisively won many critical states."  Meanwhile, the Democrats have urged Joe Biden to get out ahead of the count and set up a transition, as the New York Times and other media outlets suggest they will tell Americans who actually won and who lost.

Tense Confrontations Break Out In Mich.  Amid Calls For Recount.  Tensions have risen amid ongoing ballot counts in Detroit, Mich. [...] Michigan citizens have demanded a full review of mail-in ballots to see where they came from.  "I mean, I'm not going to violently burn the city down, but I'm going to continue to fight for election integrity," said Detroit, Mich. resident and bus driver Michelle Gregoire.  "If they're in there committing fraud, that's the problem... John James one, Donald Trump won.  He won Michigan at least, and they're in there cheating.  And that's wrong."

Staggering Fraud as Statistically Impossible Biden Ballot Dumps Roll In.  I'm so old that I can remember when everyone voted on a paper ballot and we all knew who had won the presidency on Election Night.  Now we have all this technology, fifty different ways to vote and we can't count.  What we're seeing unfold now is the old "He who counts the votes last wins" concept that helped John F. Kennedy steal Illinois (and possibly the entire 1960 election) out from under Richard Nixon.  The 2020 election should have been a cakewalk for Donald Trump — and now we'll be waiting weeks or possibly months until the courts decide it.  There are infuriating discrepancies and obvious mail-in ballot fraud happening in multiple states the day after the election.

Recount? A judicially ordered new election is far better.  In cities such as Detroit, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and Minneapolis, the usual machine-politics deliveries for Democrats appear to be on overdrive.  In this election, stealing elections is an act they've taken national, with President Trump the target.  There've been reports of voter intimidation, illegal electioneering, and observer suppression in Philadelphia; illegal ballot-harvesting and vote-buying in Minneapolis; big midnight vote dumps of 'found' ballots' bearing votes for all a single party in Detroit, alongside boarded up windows by election officials to prevent observation of what goes on the the totalization rooms, and now backdated ballots.  In Atlanta, Rev. Alveda King, Martin Luther King's niece, has declared she has seen voter fraud firsthand in her city, too.  Just by coincidence, they're all in states now under dispute in the general election, states where the president appeared to be ahead until the ballot-counting suddenly stopped and then the numbers suddenly reversed.  He's suing Michigan and Wisconsin, and possibly some others.

Election staff take 'day off' in PA county with 35K ballots to count.  Election staff in Pittsburgh's Allegheny County, one of Pennsylvania's most populous areas, reportedly are taking the day off Thursday, despite the fate of the presidential election hanging in the balance with more than 35,000 ballots left to tabulate.  "They aren't counting any ballots today!  They stopped last night and are taking the day off," Bethany Hallam, an Allegheny County councilperson, wrote on Twitter.  Hallam told New York Times reporter Trip Gabriel, "I can't get an answer as to why."  Pennsylvania's slow counting of absentee ballots has kept the presidential race in limbo.  President Trump leads by more than 135,000 votes in the state, but mail-in ballots are breaking for Democratic candidate Joe Biden.

Michigan USPS Whistleblower:  Late Mail-In-Ballots Are Being Stamped As Received on November 3rd.  A mail carrier who works for a post office in Traverse City, Michigan blew the whistle Wednesday on what he called a "sketchy" directive from his supervisor.  "We were issued a directive this morning to collect any ballots we find in mail boxes, collection boxes — just outgoing mail in general — separate them at the end of the day so they could hand stamp them with the previous day's date," the whistleblower told Project Veritas' James O'Keefe.  "Today is November 4th, for clarification," he added.  All states require mail-in ballots to be postmarked on or before Nov. 3 to be accepted.  The worker said he worked at the Barlow Branch Post Office in Traverse City, and his supervisor is named Jonathan Clarke.

Election 2020: Judge hands Trump legal win in Pennsylvania vote count.  An appellate judge has handed President Trump's re-election campaign a minor victory, allowing it close-up observation of the counting of ballots in the battleground state of Pennsylvania.  The Thursday morning [11/5/2020] order from Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court Judge Christine Fizzanno Cannon permits Trump campaign observers to stand within six feet of any table where counting is taking place in order to monitor the process, overturning a ruling from lower Philadelphia court.

USPS says huge amount of mail-in ballots were not delivered.  Significant percentages of mail-in ballots in battleground states were not delivered to election offices Nov. 3, according to US Postal Service data filed in federal court on Wednesday [11/4/2020].  In Philadelphia, 33.7 percent of mail-in ballots were not delivered to election offices on Election Day, the data shows.  In Atlanta, the same goes for 17.9 percent of mail-in ballots, and in Detroit for 21.1 percent, the filing states.  For Greensboro, NC, 27.1 percent were not delivered, and in Lakeland, Wis., the figure is 23.2 percent, according to the filing.  The data also shows that 6.7 percent of mail-in ballots were received by Nov. 3 but not processed.

Ballot Count Watcher Describes At Least 130,000 Ballots ALL FOR BIDEN Arriving in Three Vehicles in Detroit in Dead of Night.  A woman monitoring the ballot counting in Detroit has asserted that at least 130,000 ballots, all for Joe Biden, were brought to the center in three vehicles at 4 a.m.  In the testimonial, originally posted to Facebook Live, the woman says that people who were there counting ballots throughout the evening were ready to shut down when suddenly a white van, a Chrysler 300 and a Ferarri, pulled up with over 130,000 additional ballots.  "As they started counting the ballots, he was astonished that every single ballot, literally 100 percent of 130,000 ballots, were all Biden ballots that hadn't been delivered to the precinct before the cut off time," she explained.  [Video clip]

Are the Dead Coming Back to Life To Vote Again In Michigan?  There's an old joke about the dead voting Democratic.  But overnight, people began pointing out that the dead appear to have voted in Michigan.  We've already brought you some of the funny numbers coming out of Michigan, with such things as a red county somehow mystically flipping to blue.  That's under investigation and there's a recount of the votes underway in that red county.  But overnight people began pointing out something pretty strange: the dead appear to have come back to life to vote absentee in the state.  Fleccas first raised the alarm overnight, noting that a 118 year old man William Bradley from Detroit, Michigan, has voted absentee, according to the Secretary of State's website.

Count, Count, Count Until Biden Hits 270.  It's the Thursday after the 2020 election and we continue to wait for election results from states with Democrat strongholds.  Does that sound fishy to you?  It should. [...] We are told there was record high turnout and that Biden got more votes than Obama in 2008!  That sounds absurd.  Wisconsin, we learned had a ridiculous 90 percent voter turn out.  Geographic bundles of ballots were processed with 100% Biden votes.  100%!!!!  Not a single mistake or vote for Trump.  Not one.  Republicans are denied poll watchers in vote count facilities. [...] This is why wholesale vote by mail is a nightmare and now it has been normalized.  All elections will be VBM elections going forward. [...] Social media has and will continue to censor anything other than the news that Biden has hit 270 and will be the new president.  You will see no evidence of vote fraud and you will read no information [casting] doubt on the results.

Poll Watcher Describes How A Mysterious Van With 35k Votes Arrived At 4AM.  Michigan poll observer Matthew Seely describes how Wayne County (Detroit) polling station workers ejected GOP watchdogs "if we challenged too much" and attacked them for "interrupting the vote."  Seely recounts how 35k ballots arrived at 4 am in a white van with out of state plates.  [Video clip]

Pennsylvania Democrats Create Nearly 700,000 Votes To Put Joe Biden In Lead Since Election.  Overnight the State of Pennsylvania was stolen along with Georgia.  Democrats made up a 700,000 vote deficit since election day to steal the state.  President Trump held massive rallies in Pennsylvania before the election.  President Trump had an estimated 58,000 supporters at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania less than a week ago.  Joe Biden held three events in Pennsylvania on Monday [11/2/2020] where he garnered an estimated 160 supporters total.  But don't trust your own eyes.  On October 26 a Biden event looked like a campout with an estimated 10 supporters present.  And don't blame this on COVID.  President Trump had hundreds of thousands watching his rallies on the Internet but Biden only had a few thousand watching his events.  We're told not to trust our own eyes.  The corrupt Democrats, Big Media and Big Tech want us to believe that none of this happened that somehow Joe Biden won the election.  It is a lie.

The left's attempt to steal the election: just another night in the deep state.  Just a week or so ago, Nancy Pelosi stated that "Trump may win on election night but Biden will be inaugurated in January."  She knew than that there were plans in place to prevent the President's re-election.  She was counting on them, certain they would succeed.  So, when on Tuesday night it was clear that all the battleground states were going Trump's way, they acted.  The network shut down the state victory calls for Trump the moment all the betting odds were favoring a Trump win.  The Chinese yuan began to tank.  Fox fatuously called Arizona for Biden long before they should have and refused to call for Trump the states that he had clearly won:  North Carolina, Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.  All those states were won by Trump on election night.  But all those states' leftist governors, AGs, and election officials knew what they were meant to do:  put a stop to the Trump victory.  In the middle of the night thousands of ballots suddenly appeared in those states to stop the Biden bleeding; all of those magic ballots were overwhelmingly for Biden.  Imagine that!  The Democrats planned and were determined to foil a Trump win all along.  Thanks to their biased pollsters who got it all wrong again, they never expected to have to commit their crimes so openly and obviously.  Boxes of marked mail-in ballots suddenly appear.  Uh-Huh.  GOP poll watchers are locked out of vote-counting centers.  In Nevada and Detroit, they covered up their windows so no one could observe their cheating.  Each of these states changed their rules on mail-in ballots in the past months specifically to ensure a Biden win.

Stealing Pennsylvania.  [Scroll down]  During the day in Montgomery County, Republican poll workers, and committee people received an alert.  The Democrats had sent an army of spies into Montgomery County, wearing badges reading iterations of 'Voter Protection.'  They were posing as poll watchers.  In Pennsylvania, certified poll watchers can only work in the county of their residence.  When these spies were asked for credentials, all they could produce were Philadelphia poll watcher certificates.  They were all then barred from the polls.  But they could not be barred from any area outside of the poll.  My poll was visited by one such spy.  He sat outside the poll all day long with a laptop.  It was obvious what he was doing: counting in-person voters.  Why?  To divine how many mail-in ballots would be required to beat the in-person votes for President Trump that would be tallied first. [...] Unsolicited, the Democrat-controlled Board of Elections sent unsolicited mail-in-ballots to many known Republicans, or at least claimed they did.  Imagine my surprise, as a Republican committeeperson, when I went to vote to discover that I was listed as having received a mail-in ballot in the voter registration book.  I had received no such ballot.  Which meant I had no mail-in packet to return.  Which meant under Governor Wolf's new election rules, my vote had to be cast provisionally, and was thrown into a box, instead of being processed in the voting machine.

Video: Wagons, Suitcases, and Coolers Roll Into Detroit Voting Center at 4 AM.  A new video provided to Texas Scorecard from a poll watcher in Detroit shows wagons, suitcases, and coolers moving in and out of a vote-counting center during the early morning.  In a video taken by Kellye SoRelle — a Texas lawyer and member of Lawyers for Trump — a white van is seen parked in front of the location at 2:40 a.m.  A box is taken out of the van and placed into a red wagon, which is then pulled inside the facility.  SoRelle is raising alarms that the box may have been a ballot box that arrived long after all ballots were expected to have been received at the counting facility.  [Video clip]

Suitcases and Coolers Rolled Into Detroit Voting Center at 4 AM, Brought Into Secure Counting Area.  A poll watcher filmed highly suspicious activity at a vote-counting center in Detroit at 4 a.m., the morning after election day.  In the footage, taken by Kellye SoRelle, a Texas lawyer and member of Lawyers for Trump, a person in a white van was filmed loading up a red wagon outside the ballot counting location and bringing it instead.  SoRelle released the video to Texas Scorecard, because she wanted to raise "alarms that the box may have been a ballot box that arrived long after all ballots were expected to have been received at the counting facility."

Yes, Democrats Are Trying To Steal The Election In Michigan, Wisconsin, And Pennsylvania.  As of this writing, it appears that Democratic Party machines in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania are trying to steal the election.  As reporters and commentators went to bed early Tuesday morning, all three states were too close to call, but President Trump led former Vice President Joe Biden by comfortable margins — far beyond what had been predicted in the polls.  None of the networks called these states because enough mail-in ballots remained uncounted that it could swing either way, but Trump's position looked good.  Then, something strange happened in the dead of the night.  In both Michigan and Wisconsin, vote dumps early Wednesday morning showed 100 percent of the votes going for Biden and zero percent — that's zero, so not even one vote — for Trump.  In Michigan, Biden somehow got 138,339 votes and Trump got none, zero, in an overnight vote-dump.

Game-On for the Coup?  Throughout the day the president was also outperforming his expected result in key states such as Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.  He even, for a time, looked like he was within striking distance in Virginia, a state Hillary Clinton won by five points in 2016.  At one point the New York Times's "meter" had Trump's chances in North Carolina at 92%.  The needle was also sliding in the president's direction in Arizona and Georgia, among others.  And then, suddenly, the counting stopped in at least five states (or parts of states):  Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin; all but one with a Democratic governor (coincidence, surely!).  When has that ever happened?  Well, it happened in Broward County, Florida, in 2018, when a dodgy Democratic election official appeared to be intervening, illicitly, on her party's behalf.  The process only got back underway when the state's (Republican) governor intervened and had her removed from the process.  But getting back to last night, some time in the wee hours, additional ballots were "found" and added to early totals which had Trump ahead.  To no one's surprise, those votes were overwhelmingly — literally as much as 100% in some batches — for Biden.  According to Nate Silver, no one's idea of a Trumpist, one tranche of 23,277 votes that turned up in Philadelphia were "all for Biden."  Absent some kind of harvesting or fraud (or both), that's a logical and statistical impossibility.

Michigan, Wisconsin Elections Officials Refuse To Explain Sudden Biden Vote Influx.  Elections officials in Michigan and Wisconsin refused to explain Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's sudden and dramatic vote tally increase that occurred in both states Wednesday morning [11/4/2020].  Michigan and Wisconsin state officials warned against misinformation being shared online, but wouldn't comment on specific vote tranches that appeared to show former Vice President Joe Biden suddenly receiving more votes than President Donald Trump.  The two battleground states remained tightly contested as of Wednesday afternoon, according to The New York Times.  Voter tallies from both states spiked at around 6 a.m. in favor of Biden, according to graphs of live tallies posted by FiveThirtyEight.  Trump tweeted multiple times Wednesday morning claiming that officials are finding votes for Biden "all over the place."

What Can You Do About A Stolen Election?  [Numerous tweets] Then there's the county where Biden and Trump numbers were briefly transposed.  It's entirely possible that was just an error.  Obviously, this is going to end up in courts.  In fact, legal action is already underway:
  •   "Supreme Court orders Pennsylvania Democrats to respond in ballot dispute." "President Trump has moved to intervene in a lawsuit brought by Pennsylvania Republicans, arguing the state's Democratic Party and Secretary of State violated the law by extending the time for counting mail-in ballots to Nov. 6 at 5 p.m., despite the state legislature setting the deadline as Election Day."
  •   Rudy Giuliani filed another lawsuit over voter fraud in Pennsylvania.
  •   There's a Michigan lawsuit over denial of GOP poll watchers access.
  •   In addition to that, the campaign has filed a lawsuit in Georgia, and is demanding a recount in Wisconsin.

Trump Takes His Case to Court in 3 Battleground States.  The Trump campaign seeks a recount in Wisconsin and has gone to court in Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Michigan over ballot counting rules to settle a presidential election that remains undecided.  As of Wednesday evening, Fox News Channel had former Vice President Joe Biden just six votes shy of the 270 needed in the Electoral College to defeat President Donald Trump and win the White House.  The Trump campaign and some other news organizations disputed Fox's Arizona call for Biden.  Most news outlets called both Wisconsin and Michigan for the Democratic nominee Wednesday.  Ballots in Pennsylvania are still arriving in the mail.

Rudy Giuliani Drops Legal BOMB On Democrats' Plans for Pennsylvania.  [An eight-minute video clip, after you sit through a 30-second advertisement.]

90% voter turnout in Wisconsin explained as seven Milwaukee districts report higher than 100%.  Like we've said for a while, the fix is in.  We turn out attention to Wisconsin which is reporting 90% voter turnout.  Considering dead people are still on the voter rolls and likely 20% or more of the residents simply didn't vote, we can officially call an unambiguous Pinocchio on this one.

Undercover Tape Appears to Show Ballot Harvesting Operation in San Antonio.  Newly released undercover footage appears to reveal a ballot harvesting operation in San Antonio, collecting votes for Democrat candidates.  Project Veritas, known for their unique brand of covert journalism, released the video on Tuesday, which shows a ballot chaser named Raquel Rodriguez as she illegally harvests mail ballots, offers gifts for their completion, and admits that what she is doing is illegal.  In one clip, she is shown apparently helping a voter change her vote from Republican John Cornyn to Democrat M.J. Hegar.

Status of the Ongoing Vote Count in Arizona and Nevada.  After the early ballots vote totals, county officials count ballots cast at the polls on Election Day.  This number is often reported as the number of precincts reported.  However, even when 100% of precincts have reported, there are still hundreds of thousands of votes to be tallied, including the "late" early votes — those that arrive after the county stops processing early ballots or those that are dropped off on Election Day.  In Maricopa County, ballots that arrived in the mail on Monday and Tuesday, along with those dropped at the polls, are in this group.  In previous elections, after Election Day, there have been more than 600,000 outstanding "late" early votes and provisional votes left to count.  Arizona election officials announced vote tallies throughout the day and into the night on Wednesday and closed the gap to approximately 67,000 votes.  Some analysts say the math favors Trump and he should be able to erase the lead when all ballots are counted.

What Kind of Sore-Losing Idiot Would Suspect the Democrats of Voter Fraud?  [Scroll down]  So was there fraud in the presidential voting, as President Trump alleges?  Maybe not.  Maybe no mail ballots were forged in the way that monetary currency can be counterfeited.  It is, after all, so much harder to counterfeit pieces of paper than to counterfeit federal currency, right?  Maybe no votes were cast by harvesters in states that prohibit vote harvesting.  Maybe no Democrats voted twice.  Maybe no mail-in ballots were cast by dead people, ineligible voters, illegal immigrants, or by Christopher Steele.  Maybe they all were postmarked timely.  Maybe they all were counted honestly.  Maybe no stacks of ballots from Republican strongholds were lost, misplaced, or missing.  After all, the Post Office is famously infallible.  That is why we do not have a wide assortment of competing private companies offering to deliver mail more reliably, and profiting handsomely although charging higher rates, companies with names that I imagine might be like United Parcel Service, Federal Express, Old Dominion, Eagle Express, and even your Uncle Mike and Aunt Tillie.  Or maybe there was fraud.

Michigan Poll Watcher:  Ballots Were Turned In With No Names On Them.  This is exactly why Americans voted for President Trump in overwhelming numbers.  Americans are tired of Democrat corruption.  We want the swamp drained.  This morning its reported that in Michigan votes were 'turned in' with no name on them.  Was this what was in the boxes carried into the Detroit poll counting area on Monday night?  Are the Democrats filling in names on these ballots as they count them?  Michigan is a great state but the Democrats in politics leading the state are crooks.

John James campaign alleges irregularities, lack of integrity in Michigan vote count.  Republican John James' Michigan Senate campaign on Wednesday accused local officials of impropriety, voter suppression, and election interference, as the state continues its counting process to determine which candidate won.  The allegations came as chaos unfolded outside a vote tally room at the TCF Center in downtown Detroit where all mail-in absentee ballots are collected.  By Wednesday, officials barred people from coming into the room and had placed cardboard over the windows to obstruct the public's view.  Stuart Sandler, a consultant for James' campaign who was on the ground, told Fox News that the campaign is concerned about there being "a lot of irregularities."  He said James' victory looked sealed until ballots started pouring in during the middle of the night.

Military ballots among those left to be counted.  Tens of thousands of military ballots are likely among those that still need to be counted in key swing states as the race between President Trump and Democratic nominee Joe Biden remained too close to call on Wednesday.  In Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Nevada, pivotal states that have yet to be called, absentee ballots from military and overseas voters can arrive until next week, while such ballots can arrive in uncalled Georgia until Friday.  While it's unclear exactly how many military ballots are outstanding in all of those states, four years ago, those voters sent mail-in ballots by the thousands.

Dead Voters Caught Voting in Michigan — Many Are Older than the Oldest Human Alive Today.  There were at least four voters in Michigan last night who were born before 1902.  In fact these voters are older than the oldest human alive today.  The oldest person alive today was born in 1903 so they have her beat.

23,277 Ballots "Found" In Pennsylvania, All Mysteriously For Biden.  Rigged!  [Tweet]

Republicans ready to fight alongside Trump as he contests election results.  President Trump vowed to fight on as contested battleground states were declared for Democratic challenger Joe Biden, and many Republicans were ready to man the barricades with him as long as there remain legal options to pursue.  "President Trump should not concede under any circumstances until we know the final and fair vote tally in each of these critically close states," said conservative strategist Chris Barron.  "We elected Trump because he is a fighter — for far too long, Democrats would fight like hell after elections to make sure their votes were counted, while spineless Republicans simply whimpered away.  If, for some reason, Trump comes up short, he should immediately announce his intention to run again in 2024."  "I think Trump has to explore every legal angle and contest every vote that he can," said Republican strategist John Feehery.  "Not just because he thought he won, but also because his voters think he won.  Transparency is about the only thing that will help the country to move forward."

Trump campaign expands lawsuits in strategy rooted in Constitution's voting law authority.  As the Trump campaign expands its lawsuits — including new filings Wednesday [11/4/2020] in Georgia and Pennsylvania — legal scholars say they are likely rooted in the Constitution's voting law authority, which limits the power of non-legislative actors trying to assert their power over balloting.  Trump has assembled a high-powered legal team to combat what it says is executive and judicial overreach in key battleground states led by Democratic governors.  The Elections Clause of the Constitution (Article I, Section 4) gives state legislatures the authority to set the time, place and manner of federal elections, i.e., the rules governing the election process, including absentee ballots.  Republicans say this legislative power has been eroded by both executive and judicial mission creep.

Defiant President.  [T]he 2020 election has turned out to be much closer than pundits in the media and pollsters predicted, despite a widening gender gap and the movement of suburban voters into the Democratic camp.  The tidal wave for Biden that Democrats were hoping for did not materialize.  Polls in some key states such as Florida turned out to be way off base.  This race has seen a record numbers of mail-in ballots cast, which will be counted under a hodgepodge of rules that vary from state to state.  The mail-in votes skewed heavily in favor of Biden in key battleground states in the early tallies, but Trump managed to close the gap with the votes from his supporters cast in person on Election Day.  With teams of lawyers from both sides out in force planning to litigate close vote counts, it could be days or even weeks before we know for sure whether Donald Trump or Joe Biden will finally prevail.

More Info on the Funny Numbers in Michigan, Thousands of Votes May Now Be Coming Back to Trump, James.  We reported earlier about some of the problems going on in Michigan over the tabulation of the votes.  One big issue was in Antrim County, a heavily red pro-Trump county, that suddenly was reported as having gone heavily blue.  Local people and others familiar with the make-up of the county knew immediately something was screwy in the reported totals.  It immediately prompted an investigation today, as we reported earlier, with the county clerk admitting that something was clearly "skewed" about the totals.  The investigation is ongoing but they did obviously discover that the votes were wrongly given to Biden, that the actual vote tabulations didn't match that. [...] So now they are going back over the tapes of the tabulations from the machines and counting them all manually to make sure they're accurate.  Both Trump and senate candidate John James could benefit from a gain of some 4,000 to 5,000 votes, it is estimated.  So how did the numbers get scrambled?  It's still not clear.

What's next:  Arizona has about 500K votes left to be counted.  It's been two days since Election Day and Arizona still has about 430,000 ballots to count statewide.  Election officials say many of those are mail-in ballots or ballots that were dropped off at a voting center or in a drop box on Election Day.  Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes tweeted early Thursday morning [11/5/2020] that nearly 1.8 million ballots were cast.  That's an unofficial number at this point.  He also said there were about 275,000 ballots remaining to be counted plus provisional ballots.  He expected to release new numbers at about 7 p.m.  The latest numbers showed President Donald Trump closing Joe Biden's lead in Arizona, and leads in a couple of other races changed.

Trump files Georgia lawsuit over late ballots after suing in PA and NV to stop the count.  The results of the US election are still unclear today as Joe Biden inches towards victory with wins in several key swing states by razor thin margins — while Trump launches lawsuits to try and overturn those results.  As things stand, Biden needs to hold on to his leads in two midwestern states — Nevada and Arizona — to win the White House.  Counting there is due to resume on Thursday morning, local time.  But Trump has launched legal action in Michigan and Wisconsin, which Biden claimed Wednesday, and Pennsylvania, where Biden is creeping towards victory, in an attempt to stop vote counting and reverse the results — which had been going his way until mail-in ballots were tallied.

Demands Arise for PA Attorney General to 'Step Aside': He's Trying to 'Steal Pennsylvania from Trump.  Calls for Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro (D) to "step aside" are rising after he urged voters to seek election help from Democrats, mere days after stating that "if all the votes are added up in PA, Trump is going to lose."  Shapiro drew strong reactions across social media after encouraging voters to seek election help from Democrats on Election Day. [...] Days earlier, Shapiro predicted that Trump would lose the Keystone State, contingent on if "all the votes are added up." His partisan position continues to draw heavy criticism, particularly given that the presidential race could come down to the Keystone State, which is continuing to count outstanding ballots.  Pennsylvania GOP Attorney General candidate Heather Heidelbaugh called on Shapiro to "step aside" from the process entirely.

The Steal Is On.  While Donald Trump amassed huge, seemingly insurmountable leads in key states across the country, Democratic officials went quiet in their cities, releasing no results until it was clear exactly how many they would need to win.  And then, like a cascade, they poured out the numbers on Wednesday morning, claiming staggering early-vote margins that washed away the president's lead in state after state.  Democrats have terrible policies for America, but give them credit for one thing:  They know when to count their ballots. [...] The con was in the works long before Election Day.  For months beforehand, the press bombarded the public with bogus polls showing huge leads for Biden in almost every swing state.  On election night, these worthless polls were exposed, but they were still used by the press to justify not calling states for Trump.  Now, they will be used to justify dramatic last-second swings into the Democratic column.

Joe Biden Couldn't Get 10 People at a Campaign Rally But He Somehow Breaks the Record for the Most Candidate Votes in US History?  No Way.  Former VP Joe Biden is weak and fragile and old.  He couldn't remember where he was on many occasions.  He slurred words and blundered constantly not making sense on many occasions.  He was lost.  Below is an example of only one such incidence at a campaign event this summer:  [Video clip]  As a result Biden's campaign had no excitement at all.  He tried bringing in stars but even that failed with around 30 people at a Biden —Bon Jovi rally a few weeks ago:  [Video clip]  Notice the President's son Eric Trump had more people at his campaign event the same night only a few miles away from the Biden fiasco.  We also know from our own recording that Biden couldn't get 10 people at his rallies and sometimes held events with no one in attendance other than approved press (who wouldn't report on the insanity of his 'rallies') and handlers.  But somehow this senile lost old man yesterday set the record for the most votes in US History?

Report: Trump Campaign Assembling 'All-Star' Legal Team for Election Challenges.  [Scroll down]  "As votes in Michigan continue to be counted, the presidential race in the state remains extremely tight as we always knew it would be.  President Trump's campaign has not been provided with meaningful access to numerous counting locations to observe the opening of ballots and the counting process, as guaranteed by Michigan law," Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien said in a statement.  "We have filed suit today in the Michigan Court of Claims to halt counting until meaningful access has been granted.  We also demand to review those ballots which were opened and counted while we did not have meaningful access.  President Trump is committed to ensuring that all legal votes are counted in Michigan and everywhere else."

Trump Campaign Declares Victory in Pennsylvania, Predicts Reelection by Friday.  The Trump campaign has declared victory in Pennsylvania, claiming that the math is on their side to win the Keystone State.  Several members of team Trump and the Trump family posted declarations of victory on Twitter.  [Tweet]  President Trump has also declared on Twitter, "We have claimed, for Electoral Vote purposes, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (which won't allow legal observers) the State of Georgia, and the State of North Carolina, each one of which has a BIG Trump lead."  Trump continued, "Additionally, we hereby claim the State of Michigan if, in fact, there was a large number of secretly dumped ballots as has been widely reported!"

Now Down To Just A Few Hundred Thousand Ballots In Pennsylvania — Pres.  Trump's Margin Should Hold.  There were 9,091,000 registered voters this month.  The high watermark in the past 4 election cycles was 70% voter participation.  That same percentage in 2020 would be 6.3 million votes — which would be a record turnout.  That would mean there are only a little more than 400,000 votes left — but the number seems higher looking at the individual counties, so turnout will be higher than 70%.  But let's make voter participation 75% for 2020, which would be a vote total of 6.8 million.  It will be truly astonishing if the turnout goes much higher than 6.8 million, and that will require some very careful analysis at which counties so dramatically increased their voter participation numbers in 2016 and 2012 — because that is where you will find the fraud.  That means there are 800,000 votes left to be counted at 75% voter participation — very unlikely.

Wisconsin Voter Turnout Is Nearly 90% Which Is Virtually Impossible.  President Trump outperformed his 2016 totals in Wisconsin by 200,000 votes!! [...] It was a HUGE Victory for President Trump in Wisconsin! [...] And now this:  Seven Democrat Wards in Milwaukee turned in more votes than registered voters.  90% of Milwaukee wards reported 90% voter turnout!

Massive Voter Fraud In Wisconsin?  News outlets tell us that President Trump underperformed in key midwestern states, compared with 2016.  But that isn't exactly true.  Take Wisconsin: four years ago, Trump carried the state with 1,405,284 votes.  This year, with 99% of the vote tabulated, Trump had 1,610,007 votes, more than 200,000 more votes than he received four years ago.  Yet, we are told, he lost the state to the inept Joe Biden.  That seems unlikely.  There were 3,684,726 registered voters in Wisconsin going into Election day.  The total votes recorded in Wisconsin were 3,240,549.  That would give Wisconsin a turnout of 88%.  According to Ballotpedia, no American state in the period 2002-2018 has ever achieved a turnout rate of 80% or higher.  For purposes of comparison, in 2016 Wisconsin had a 67 percent turnout rate.

Count and Recount Every 'Vote' Until You Win.  [Scroll down]  President Trump was already ahead in the states of Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.  With a fair and honest count, Trump will win in all of these states and be re-elected.  But another Democratic Party trick came in handy.  When your opponent is about to win, delay the vote count.  Had Biden done very well and been expected to win Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania on the Election Night, the vote count would have continued.  But because Trump was about to win in the aforementioned states, the vote count was postponed.  Why they didn't count all the mail-in ballots first, as Florida did?  And why did they delay the vote count in heavily Democratic blocs?  It's reasonable to believe they did it so they could anticipate the number of the votes they need to produce in order to win the election.  If the still uncounted "votes" turn out to overwhelmingly go for Biden, it will be said that the ballots are coming from Democratic strongholds for justification.  Brilliant!  But it smells to high heaven like fraud.

Detroit Absentee Ballot Counting Chaos as Workers Block Windows, Bar Observers.  Absentee ballot counting in Detroit descended into chaos on Wednesday when hundreds of unofficial Republican observers concerned about fraud converged on the counting location.  The city of Detroit is using the TCF Center — formerly Cobo Hall — to count all of the absentee ballots in the city.  Republicans and Trump supporters grew alarmed as Trump was holding a strong lead in the state during early counting Tuesday evening, only for it to evaporate as mailed-in ballots were counted in historically Democrat areas.  Several videos posted on social media show workers attempting to restrict transparency and not allow people outside to observe what was going on inside the counting area.

Seven Milwaukee wards report more 2020 presidential votes than registered voters; Biden nets 146K votes in city.  Seven City of Milwaukee voting wards reported more 2020 U.S. Presidential election votes than they had registered voters, according to an analysis of results and Secretary of State files.  Five of them are in the city's eleventh aldermanic ward, on the city's far Southwest Side.  Vice President Joe Biden carried the five in 2020 with 3,768 votes to President Donald Trump's 2,883 — a margin of 885, or eight times what it was in 2016, when Trump earned 1,904 votes to Hillary Clinton's 2,012.  The City of Milwaukee reported record turnout of 84 percent Tuesday; 243,144 of 288,833 registered city voters cast a ballot.

Report: North Carolina Won't Be Updating State's Election Results For A Full Week.  The thing America needs to take away from the 2020 election, once and for all, is that a new system of counting votes is absolutely necessary.  Anybody have any ideas?  As far as North Carolina goes, a state expected to go for President Trump, we won't know the results for some time.

Biden may steal an election for the elitists, but Democrats will regret it.  The "chumps" and "ugly folk," as Joe Biden calls them, came out in their glorious millions from the American heartland on Election Day and now we will see if people power prevails, if the nationalist populist movement enabled by Donald Trump, but not defined by him, lives to fight another day against the corrupt globalists represented by the sad husk of Biden.  It boils down to Trump's belief that the Democrats perpetrated widespread voter fraud in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and elsewhere to steal the election.  While even those in his own party are urging him to lose gracefully, the president has every right to ensure electoral laws are enforced to prevent fraud.  In fact, he owes it to the 68 million deplorables who voted for him.

The election that narrowly saved America.  In a lot of ways, what happened Tuesday night could not have been worse for this country or its future.  The outcome of our presidential election was seized from the hands of voters, where it rightly belongs, and now resides in the control of lawyers and courts — and highly partisan, clearly corrupt big city bureaucrats.  No matter what happens next, that is a tragedy.  Many Americans will never again accept the results of a presidential election.  That story is still unfolding and we will follow it as honestly as we can wherever it leads.

The Incredible Never-Ending Election Continues.  We now await the conclusion of the greatest political scandal in American history, carried through to the end in what the Democrats and the MSM will laugh about behind closed doors.  Trump railed about voter fraud being real, and the response was always "there's no evidence of it."  Just like accusations of Joe Biden's corruption — "there's no evidence of any corruption."  That just means you'll have to find it; it's not a denial of it being real, and thus, it's technically not a lie.  That's always how they do it.  This time, in league with operatives from the Transition Integrity Project placed in the population centers in every battleground state, they're pulling off the ultimate "You're Fired" scandal through pre-planned voter fraud on a massive scale.  Reports and videos have been posted for several days.  They should be transparent, but the Trump campaign has already filed suit because they're covering it up — i.e., "no evidence."

Penn Gov Says 'Full Election Results' Might Not Be Available Wednesday.  Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf weighed-in Wednesday on his state's election-counting chaos; telling reporters they may not know the actual results of the race for the White House until Thursday [11/5/2020]. [...] "There are ... millions of mail-in ballots that are being counted, and that takes longer than the way we used to do it with the stand, in-person voting," Wolf said in a press conference on Wednesday.  "So we may not know the results even today, but the most important thing is that we have accurate results."

Arizona ballot count error:  Only 86% counted, not 98% says NYT editor.  A data error revealed late Wednesday morning [11/4/2020] shows that the undecided presidential race in Arizona has more uncounted votes than previously thought.  New York Times editor Patrick LaForge said Wednesday morning that 86 percent of Arizona's voted had been counted, and not 98 percent as previously reported.

Mad About Election Chaos?  Blame Dems' Fraud-Prone Vote-By-Mail Scheme.  As many feared, the election has ended, but it isn't over.  Ballots are still being tallied, and races in Nevada and Pennsylvania remain up in the air.  Even when finished, there will be angry disputes. [...] Costly, and no doubt lengthy, legal challenges await.  It may yet even be discovered that there was massive electoral fraud.  For this, you can thank mail-in voting, which the Democrats pushed as part of their "make every vote count" campaign (not to mention, of course, the four-year hate-affair the unhinged left in the Democratic Party conducted with President Donald Trump).

Very Odd:  Michigan Found Over 100,000 Ballots and Every Single One Has Joe Biden's Name on It.  Michigan was set to be a state that went to Trump but miraculously, a bunch of early votes was found and every one of them was a ballot with Joe Biden's name on it.  When I say "every one of them" I mean every single one.  Not one of these ballots had a Trump vote on them.  This kind of thing is far from normal and is worth investigating.  Twitter users also found this to be so unlikely as to be completely unbelievable. [...] The idea that not one of them is a Trump vote seems a little off.  However, what should really make people suspicious is the fact that not one of these votes leans toward a third-party vote.  While people voting for Trump definitely wanted their votes counted by showing up in person, third-party voters didn't particularly follow the same idea as some of these were leftists as well.  Not one vote for the Green Party candidate?  Not one for Jo Jorgenson of the Libertarian Party?

This Election is Being Stolen and President Trump Must Fight Hard to Prevent That From Happening.  As things stand right now, we appear to be on the cusp of a Biden-Harris co-presidency.  The solid lead that President Trump seemed to have amassed last night has evaporated.  In Michigan, over 100,000 Biden votes were added to the totals.  Not 100,000+ Biden votes and a smaller number of Trump votes.  A tranche of 100,000 purely Biden votes were dumped into the system early this morning.  This is statistically implausible, but it shows an in-your-face [...] attitude that characterizes the rule of our favorite gauleiterin, Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

It truly appears that the fix is in.  What we're seeing happening in Michigan and Wisconsin is nothing short of election theft.  That is unambiguous to anyone who is paying attention.  But they're having trouble revealing it to other Americans because, on cue, it's being censored across the board.  The President's Tweets are being hit.  Prominent conservatives' Facebook and Twitter posts are being suppressed.  For those who are just coming in on the topic I'm conspicuously dancing around, it appears that the election really is being stolen right before our eyes.  Michigan and Wisconsin are seeing voting totals materialize overnight that make it clear the fix is in.  And they're not even trying to hide it.  In Michigan, an overnight vote update added 138,339 votes to Vice President Joe Biden's totals.  That same [update yielded] ZERO votes for President Trump.

Unidentified civilian caught taking entire Philly ballot box... somewhere.  Cheating in Pennsylvania appears to be getting out of hand as representatives from the Philadelphia Republican Party snapped a photo of an unidentified person loading an entire ballot box into their vehicle. [...] It is unclear what happened with this as Philly GOP has not announced anything else on Twitter about the incident.  They have released a laundry list of other bouts with election fraud they've been seeing in the field.

Pennsylvania poll worker admits on Instagram to throwing out over 100 Trump ballots.  An unconfirmed report is spreading around social media that an Erie, PA poll worker bragged on Twitter about throwing out ballots voting for President Trump. [...] The post, attributed to Sebastian Machado, reads, "Been working at a poll station in Erie county, PA all morning.  A lot of people have already voted today[.]  I've thrown out over a hundred ballots for trump already!!  Pennsylvania gonna turn blue 2020!!"  We were unable to confirm if the post was real or if Machado works at a polling station in Erie county.  But the accounts posting it on Twitter are credible and the shenanigans we've been seeing all day in Pennsylvania seem to affirm this narrative.

Lt. Gen. Tom McInerney exposes 'Scorecard,' the Democrats' voter fraud superweapon.  Voter fraud is happening right now.  We all know it; one would be hard pressed to find a single American on either side of the aisle who would not acknowledge that it's taking place.  Around half the country realizes (or is willing to admit) it's happening in favor of Democrats, but very few realize just how deep this particular rabbit hole goes.  Lt. Gen. Tom McInerney does.  The retired military man has kept his finger on the pulse of the intelligence community and national politics since retiring in 1994.  He's not alone in this regard, but what separates him from other retired military personnel is that his love for the nation and oath to the Constitution compel him to speak out even when he knows it will get him some heat.

Nevada: No More Election Results Expected Until Thursday.  Nevada will stop updating election results until Thursday morning, sharing its message via Twitter on Wednesday. [...] Nevada's state legislature changed the Silver State's election laws in August to automatically mail absentee ballots to all registered voters and allow for ballot harvesting.  President Donald Trump's campaign and the Nevada GOP subsequently filed a lawsuit to challenge the election law changes.  On Tuesday, a Nevada judge denied the Trump campaign's lawsuit which sought to temporarily halt counting of mail-in voting in Clark County, which includes Las Vegas.

Houston woman turned away from polls after being told she already voted.  A Houston woman says she was turned away from the polls because a so-called "mystery voter" had already cast a ballot in her name.  Angie Medellin, 72, said she went to turn in her mail-in ballot Thursday at a polling center in the East End neighborhood, news station KHOU reported.  But when she got there, she was told by election workers that the system said she had voted two weeks earlier at a different location.  "She just said, 'Well, you voted,' and she was insistent that I voted," Medellin said of her conversation with the poll worker.  Medellin said the other location was nine miles away and records showed that she had used a driver's license to vote.

Suddenly, all the Democrat-run swing states need to stop counting ballots for awhile.  Is the U.S. on track to see its first election utterly stolen in front of its eyes?  The way Venezuela's Hugo Chavez used to do it in the face of huge, huge enthusiastic crowds protesting against him back in Caracas?  How else to explain strange doings like these?  Michigan, too, needs some extra time to count the ballots.  And so does North Carolina.  And so do all of the states where Trump was running ahead — Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan... The counting suddenly shut down.  Arizona went down a suspicious 90 minutes before the announcement that the state had flipped to Biden.

Election Night Live.  The election special mysteriously ground to a halt.  Trump could reasonably have expected to be giving his victory speech right now, had not Pennsylvania, Georgia, and North Carolina all decided to have an early night and resume in the morning, or afternoon, or next Tuesday.  There is great peril in that.

2020 presidential election thrown into turmoil with no clear winner, accusations of fraud, and prospect of legal battles.  The winner of the 2020 presidential election remains unknown, as several key battleground states have yet to finish counting ballots and President Trump has raised concerns about fraud, raising the prospect of legal battles and chaos as the seemingly never-ending campaign drags on.  Both Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden have more than 200 of the necessary 270 electoral votes to win the presidency, but Michigan and Wisconsin are still tabulating votes, and counting in Pennsylvania could potentially take days.  North Carolina and Georgia also remain uncalled, though Trump leads in both states at press time.

No Winner Yet:  Fight for White House Could Drag on for Days or Weeks.  For the first time in years, Americans will wake up Wednesday morning after the presidential election uncertain of who their president will be on Jan. 20.  President Donald Trump, a Republican, overperformed expectations in winning Florida.  His Democratic opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden, flipped longtime Republican stronghold Arizona.  But the key battleground states of Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin still had not been called by 6 a.m.  Wednesday.  Neither the Republican ticket of Trump and Vice President Mike Pence nor the Democratic ticket of Biden and vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris, a senator from California, had reached the necessary 270 electoral votes.

It's Not Over Yet.  Things didn't go as well last night as I had expected, or as well as they started out.  But the presidential election is still not over, and there are plenty of bright spots in the other races. [...] If Trump carries Pennsylvania and Arizona, he wins the election, assuming Georgia doesn't flip.  Litigation seems inevitable in some states.  As I understand it — I haven't had time yet to pin down the facts — Trump was leading in Michigan until, in the middle of the night, a large number of ballots were discovered, or added, or something, all of them (so goes the report) for Biden, so that Biden now leads.  If something like that report is true, investigation is warranted.  Further, if the Democrats are able to take a serious run at stealing Pennsylvania by harvesting ballots for three days after the election, in violation of Pennsylvania law, the case will go to the Supreme Court, where Democrats likely will lose.  If it still matters.

President vows to go to Supreme Court to stop late voting as Biden demands every ballot counts.  Donald Trump declared election victory on Wednesday morning [11/4/2020] despite the fact that millions of votes remain uncounted, calling the process a 'fraud on the American people' and claiming he would go to the Supreme Court to challenge the result.  Neither the President nor Joe Biden has yet reached the 270 electoral college votes they need to claim the White House and ballot counting will continue throughout the day.  The election will come down to the key swing states of Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, North Carolina, Nevada and Pennsylvania.  The lead keeps bouncing between the two candidates in each state.  Pennsylvania has said will keep counting mail-in ballots until Friday and it's unclear when a final result will come in in the other states.

NJ won't start counting votes cast in person until a week after Election Day.  New Jersey election officials won't count ballots cast in person on Election Day until at least Nov. 10, a state official confirmed Monday [11/2/2020].  The Board of Elections will count all mail-in ballots first and vote-by-mail ballots postmarked by Nov. 3 can arrive through Nov. 10 and be counted, officials said.  New Jersey counties won't have a complete list of all mail-in ballots until at least Nov. 10.

'The Steal Is On' in Pennsylvania:  Poll Watchers Denied Access, Illegal Campaigning at Polling Locations.  Election Day kicked off with a bout of chaos in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with poll watchers reportedly denied access and witnesses alleging "illegal campaigning" at various polling locations.  According to Trump 2020 EDO director Mike Roman, Democrat election officials are banning Trump poll watchers all across the city, as one video shows.  Another photo on social media shows a physical barrier, which Roman says Democrat officials are using to keep poll watchers far from the counting tables.

They Never Should Have Stopped Counting Votes.  If you wanted to avoid someone challenging the credibility of an election, I am not sure you could choose a worse way to handle the situation.  Here's how it goes down.  There are going to be ten or so hours of unaccounted for activity and then the ballots start getting counted again.  Then, there will be another ten or so hours of unaccounted for activity and then we should have results on Friday.  Instead of working through the night, state election officials have decided to give either side the chance to call shenanigans if their side loses.  How else do you think this goes down?  If Trump wins Pennsylvania, Democrats will say that someone tampered with and threw out a bunch of votes to give it to Trump.  If Bins wins the state, Republicans will say someone "found" a bunch of extra Democratic ballots and magically stole the race.

Dead people caught voting in NYC, elections records show.  Ballots have been mailed in to the New York City Board of Elections in the name of dead voters, The [New York] Post has learned.  Records show that the elections board received an absentee ballot from a Frances Reckhow of Staten Island, a registered Democrat.  The BOE mailed an absentee ballot requested by Frances M. Reckhow of Bedell Avenue on Sept. 24.  Reckhow supposedly mailed the ballot back on Oct. 6 and the BOE received it and declared it valid on Oct. 8, tracking records show.  But there's a problem:  Frances Reckhow, who was born on July 6, 1915, and would be 105 today, died in 2012, according to an obituary filed with the Staten Island Advance.

Election dysfunction in NYC: 'I am voting twice ... legally.  It should not have come to this.'.  My wife and I wanted to be counted so we voted in person on Election Day.  This was not part of our voting plan.  We have a child under one, busy schedules and COVID-19 concerns.  So we, like many, requested absentee ballots.  With some well-reported concerns about the speed of mail, our intent was to directly drop them off at our early voting location.  This has always been legal in New York, but this year, it was more directly encouraged with the presence of actual drop boxes.

What We Know Already About Election 2020.  The final results aren't in yet, thanks almost entirely to the Democrats' push for universal mail-in voting, which have delayed results in three key states and made committing election fraud a lot easier.  We will have plenty to say once we finally have election results.  But we do know a few things already.  [#1] The polls were wildly wrong, again. [...] [#2] Mail-in voting was a disaster.  Throughout the election, there were accounts of lost ballots, delays, postal workers dumping mail.  And now we are waiting for mail-in ballots to get counted in three states that could decide the election.  The problem with mail-in ballots isn't just that it opens the door to fraud, but that it adds a needless level of uncertainty to elections.

'Burn It Down': Hundreds March Through The Streets Of DC On Election Night.  A crowd of around 150 people who were dressed in all black and wearing helmets began marching through the streets of Washington, D.C. shortly after 11:00 p.m. Tuesday night.  The crowd was chanting: "[...]"  One person had a sign that said "burn down the American plantation."  Some were carrying weapons, gas masks and shields, according to The Blaze reporter Elijah Schaffer.  [Video clip]  Around 11:45, fireworks began going off and the crowd chanted [...] "burn it down."  The group was organized and lead by a wall of people with bikes.

Pennsylvania's Attorney General Flushed Any Trust in His Office Down the Toilet on Saturday.  In a nutshell, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court issued a ruling that ballots received up to three days following election day will be accepted and counted as if they arrived on election day, so long as they are postmarked no later than November 3, 2020.  Pennsylvania's elections statute states explicitly that mail-in ballots must be in the possession of election officials by 8:00 pm on Election Day in order to be valid and counted.  Whether the three-day extension ordered by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court is valid or not is the subject of a challenge now pending before the Supreme Court.  It is uncertain at this point how many ballots might be received during this three-day window that are postmarked on or before November 3.

Us vs.  Them: Presidential elections have long created deep divisions in our country.  Remember the brouhaha in 2000 when television networks called Florida for Al Gore, potentially affecting the outcome in the Central time zone of the state's conservative Panhandle, which was still voting?  Until 1845, every state had its own voting days for president as long as each came before early December.  Now, states begin early voting on different days.  Different election days didn't really matter in the early 1800s.  But something happened in 1844 to change all that.  The telegraph came along and could, well, telegraph results from one state to another later-voting state.  So, Congress stipulated that everyone would vote for chief executive on the same day.  And being a Congress full of lawyers, it did so in a most tortured way.  Election Day would be the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.

The news media is not the final authority.
Report: Joe Biden Plans to Assume Role of President-Elect if Media Declares Him Winner — Even Amid Trump's Legal Challenges.  Joe Biden is planning to strike a pose as the president-elect on election night if the corporate media decides that he has an insurmountable lead, even as President Trump challenges late mail-in ballots in court.  Democrats say they have "learned the lesson" of the contested 2000 election, when they say George W. Bush declared victory and "acted like the winner" while votes were still being counted and his Democrat opponent Al Gore "hung back."  In reality, Gore, then the vice president, didn't hang back at all.  Although the networks initially called the race for Gore while the polls were still open in the heavily Republican panhandle, (costing Bush untold numbers of votes), Bush was declared the winner by a narrow margin in the wee hours of the following morning.

What is the difference between this and buying votes?
LeBron James-Backed Campaign Paid Off Fines Of 40,000 Felons So They Can Vote, Report Says.  An effort driven by celebrities such as former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and NBA star LeBron James paid off court fines for tens of thousands of felons in Florida ahead of election day.  An analysis by the Tampa Bay Times/Miami Herald and ProPublica found that the effort may have paid off the fines of about 40,000 felons, assuming that those felons do not also have other unpaid fees that would bar them from voting.  It is unclear how large an impact it may have on the election in Florida, a key swing state, but the effort is believed to advantage Democrats.

Democrats Deny Voter Fraud Exists As They Plot To Steal Pennsylvania.  For years, the left has denied that voter fraud is a problem by setting a curious standard:  It's not "widespread."  Never mind that voter fraud never is "widespread."  It's always targeted at key races.  Case in point is Pennsylvania, which could be, if you will pardon the pun, the keystone state of the 2020 elections, and which Democrats have carefully laid the groundwork to commit targeted fraud.

Judge rules California Gov. Newsom's vote-by-mail order was improper.  A California judge ruled that Gov. Gavin Newsom's executive order requiring mail-in ballots to be sent to every registered voter in the state was unconstitutional.  Sutter County Superior Court Judge Sarah Heckman issued her ruling on Monday [11/2/2020], which also contained a permanent injunction, instructing the governor not to issue further orders that would be similarly improper.  Tuesday's election will be unaffected by the ruling because a vote-by-mail order was ultimately passed by the state's Legislature.

The Cure for Pennsylvania's Mail-in Ballots.  [Scroll down]  So under the court's new ruling, signatures need not match for mail-in voters, but in-person voters must continue to provide signatures that match what's on file with the state, i.e., signatures are verified for in-person voters, but not for mail-in voters.  Therefore, in-person voters are held to a higher, more rigorous standard than mail-in voters.  Might that not "disenfranchise" some in-person voters?  To make things "equal" for all Pennsylvania voters where no one is disenfranchised due to non-matching signatures, shouldn't the court have forbidden the vetting of signatures for both mail-in and in-person voters?  This inequality in the treatment of mail-in and in-person voters was created by the legislature, not the court.  The court doesn't seem to be "legislating from the bench" here.  But in another case concerning the counting of mail-in ballots received after Election Day, Pennsylvania's high court does appear to be guilty of legislating.

The Secret Ballot Is Trump's Secret Weapon.  The primary value of the secret ballot is that it enables us to lie about which buttons we actually push when we step into that voting booth.  Millions of voters have long since learned to conceal their political views from friends, family members, and co-workers to avoid unnecessary strain on important relationships.  Since 2016, coming out as a conservative or a Republican can cause family rifts, social ostracism, and even problems at work.  Admitting that one is actually a Trump voter can literally lead to a physical assault.  Inevitably, the secret ballot has come under attack from the Left.

Judge rules California's Newsom overstepped his authority with election order.  A California judge on Monday [11/2/2020] issued a tentative ruling in favor of two Republican state lawmakers who had filed an abuse of power lawsuit against Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom.  Executive Order N-67-20, which Newsom signed in June, required that counties mail all eligible voters vote-by-mail ballots before Election Day and regulated the number of polling stations.  Assemblymembers James Gallagher, R-Yuba City, and Kevin Kiley, R-Rocklin, challenged Newsom's order in court, arguing that Newsom's Emergency Services Act — implemented in March amid the burgeoning coronavirus pandemic — prevented the governor from issuing more executive orders or creating new laws.

Over 30,000 ballots missing in pro-Trump County in Pennsylvania.  Over 30,000 mail-in ballots in Butler County Pennsylvania are unaccounted for, causing county election officials to urge voters to utilize one of a few other options, like voting in person.  That is the county where nearly 60,000 people just showed up for a Trump rally.  About 40,000 voters in Butler County Pennsylvania requested mail-in ballots but election officials have confirmed that only 24 percent of those ballots — over 30,000 ballots — have not yet been returned for tabulation.

Trump Campaign Claims Democrats Plan To Delegitimize Election Day Results.  The Trump campaign on Monday warned that Democrats are seeking to "delegitimize Eletion Day results" and "create a smoke screen by casting blame all around." "Democrats are panicking because Joe Biden has not run up a large enough lead in early votes in battleground states and they know that President Trump's in-person votes on Election Day will make up the difference and propel him to victory," Justin Clark, Trump 2020 deputy campaign manager, said in an email to reporters.

Democrats have outsmarted themselves on mail-in voting and on election eve are having a Wylie Coyote moment.  A sickening feeling is spreading among some of the smarter Democrats that they have royally screwed up their election strategy.  The plan that seemed so smart, once they realized that COVID was a golden opportunity to distract from President Trump's massive foreign policy and economic triumphs, is backfiring.  The plan, in short, was to terrorize Americans with fear porn over the purported dangers of COVID (despite it being 99%+ survivable for all but those over 70, and despite huge progress in therapeutics driving the survival rate even higher), while emphasizing mail-in voting for their base.  Republicans, they thought, could be discouraged from in-person voting on Election Day, and with compliant state governors, A.G.s, and secretaries of state extending deadlines for mail-in votes, the margin of victory could be manufactured in the days afterward.

Texas Supreme Court denies GOP request to throw out 127,000 votes cast via drive-through lanes.  The Texas Supreme Court on Sunday [11/1/2020] denied a request by GOP lawmakers, candidates and activists in Harris County to throw out 127,000 votes cast through the county's drive-through voting option.  Those votes, however, are still being challenged in a similar suit in federal court, where U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen will listen to an emergency hearing at 10:30 a.m.  Monday in Houston.  The plaintiffs in the case — which include state Rep. Steve Toth, R-The Woodlands; Sharon Hemphill a Republican running for district judge in Harris County; GOP congressional candidate Wendell Champion and Republican activist Steven Hotze — argue that drive-through voting is prohibited by the state election code and should be thrown out.

Portland man arrested for trying to sell his ballot.  A Portland man is facing felony charges for allegedly trying to sell his ballot.  Court documents state that Josiah Bridges tried to sell his ballot for $200 last month through the Offerup app.  The 22-year-old Bridges got an offer from an undercover law enforcement officer for $115.  Court records show he signed the ballot upon the agent's request, however, authorities say he was not forced to sign it before taking the money.  As first reported by our news partners at Willamette Week, Bridges was confronted by other officers after the sale.

Trump says he's sending in his lawyers as soon as the election ends to review swing state votes.  President Donald Trump said Sunday [11/1/2020] that he's sending in his lawyers as soon as the election ends on Tuesday, his latest attack on the legitimacy of this week's unprecedented vote count.  After landing in North Carolina Sunday evening, Trump was asked about a report published Sunday in Axios that said the president could try to prematurely declare victory on Election Day.  Trump denied he would do so, but lamented Supreme Court rulings that allowed for Pennsylvania and North Carolina to count absentee ballots that are postmarked before Election Day but arrive shortly after Nov. 3.

Victory by Fraud.  During this presidential campaign, Republicans have vigorously charged that the Democrats are trying to win the election by the using fraudulent mail-in ballots.  As these charges and counter charges are hotly disputed, some pundits refer to the 1960 presidential election that pitted Richard Nixon against John Kennedy where Republicans claimed that the Democrat had won the contest by fraud.  These allegations on behalf of Kennedy primarily focused on the voting in Illinois and Texas.  In the former, Chicago mayor Richard Daley ran Kennedy's statewide campaign.  Even before ballots were cast, Republicans asserted that there was going to be fraud, and immediately after the election, they attacked Daley for stuffing ballot boxes to assure his candidate's victory.

Was This the Real 2020 Democratic Plan, which got Blown Up with Ruth Bader Ginsburg's Death?  [Scroll down]  So, what does [Larry] Schweikart think was the Democrats' plan before COVID?  He feels that with the Democrats knowing they would be beaten, they wanted to claim fraud and set off another round of the Russian collusion delusion.  They wanted a sequel, but the pandemic, he says, gave them hope of a win.  With lockdowns in place, let's do this all via vote-by-mail.  You all remember this was the Left's war cry throughout the summer until the mail-in ballots were being rejected at higher than projected rates because Democratic voters apparently cannot follow instructions.  The Democrats have now quietly changed course.  Yet, the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg killed all hopes of the voter fraud pitch ever working for Democrats.

Voter Fraud in Texas:  Project Veritas Videos Show Corruption Implicating Republicans, Democrats Rigging Elections.  A new report by Project Veritas shows that voter fraud also has a foothold in the Lone Star State — and the Republican party there has been infiltrated by Democrat voter fraud operatives.  In two videos, Project Veritas exposes Raquel Rodriguez, a consultant for GOP House candidate Mauro Garza for working as part what Project Veritas founder James O'Keefe calls "a voter fraud system positioned to swing Texas in 2020."  In the first video, Rodriguez is shown pressuring an elderly voter to change her vote for U.S. Senator from Incumbent John Cornyn (R-Texas) to Democrat challenger Mary Jennings Hegar.  As Project Veritas reported, "At one point during the investigation, one Project Veritas journalist paid $500 to accompany Rodriguez on her rounds to collect ballots."  [Video clip]

Voter Fraud Scheme Registering Dead Democrats Uncovered in Florida.  Local authorities unfoiled a plot to register more than 50 people as Democrat voters in Broward County, Florida.  The Sun-Sentinel reports than an unknown individual in Columbia, South Carolina, submitted at least 54 voter applications to the Broward elections office.  Many of the applications were flagged as suspicious by staff at the Broward elections office, but at least three of the applications evaded detection and were added to the voter rolls in July.  Two of the three voters had passed away in June.  "This is an organized effort by someone who knew a little bit about Florida law but not a lot, and had a scheme to either undermine the Florida registration system with fake voters, or intended to vote 50 times," Broward Elections Supervisor Pete Antonacci told the Sun-Sentinel.

A barrage of election lawsuits threaten to delay final results for weeks or more.  With memories of Bush v. Gore in 2000 hanging over this Tuesday's presidential election, a record number of mail-in ballots has resulted in a large number of court cases across the country in many battleground states.  They range from local cases all the way up to the Supreme Court, and cover a wide range of issues.  The rulings could determine the outcome of the election, as most of the focus is on whether or not ballots will be accepted after Election Day, and by how many days.  Election rules differ from state to state, which is why some extensions are allowed while other states have clear rules on an Election Day deadline.  The former Attorney General of Kansas Phill Kline told Just the News that only valid votes should be counted.

How the Democrats Plan to Steal the 2020 Election.  It is now just a few days until America finally renders its fateful choice for President on on Election Day 2020. [...] If my premonition of a razor-thin margin of victory by one candidate or the other turns out to be accurate, it is absolutely imperative that the Trump Campaign, the Republican National Committee and the "Stop The Steal" organization of Republican lawyers working to ensure the integrity of this election, ready to sort out the what and the who of the Democrats' election fraud, immediately mobilize around one effort.  They must have voters lined up and ready who have standing to file the appropriate legal petitions, pleadings and motions to challenge questionable results and expose fraudulent activities wherever they have occurred.  They must be prepared to collect and submit persuasive hard evidence detailing all voter fraud and expose those who planned, paid for, solicited or perpetrated these crimes.

Brett Kavanaugh Is Right about Wisconsin's Ballot Deadline.  For now, Vladimir Putin has been supplanted as the chief threat to the integrity of the presidential election by an American in a black robe — Brett Kavanaugh.  The Supreme Court justice's concurrence in an October 26 decision slapping down a district court's extension of a Wisconsin election deadline has been universally condemned by the center-left as a damning preview of an attempt by the Court to hand the election to President Donald Trump. [...] In the Wisconsin case, a federal district judge in late September tacked six days onto the state's deadline for receiving absentee ballots.  It was this court that overstepped its bounds and interfered in Wisconsin's election, not Kavanaugh, who voted simply to restore the status quo ante.  Kavanaugh's argument that "the rules of the road should be clear and settled" before the election would seem obvious.  Does anyone think it's better if they are confused and uncertain?  As Kavanaugh notes, a preference for rules established well ahead of time honors the so-called Purcell principle against late changes imposed by courts (the reference is to a 2006 case, Purcell v. Gonzalez).

Texas Supreme Court Weighing Whether To Throw Out More Than 100,000 Drive-Thru Votes.  A lawsuit filed by a Republican legislator in Texas and three other members of the GOP is asking the court to invalidate more than 117,000 drive-thru votes that have been cast in Harris County, a challenge the Supreme Court of Texas has asked the county to file a response to, indicating that at least one justice on the court seems to be seriously considering the challenge.  The plaintiffs argue that Harris County's expansion of drive-thru voting sites amounts to an illegal expansion of curbside voting.  The court rejected two similar GOP efforts last week aimed at shutting down drive-thru voting, but this new effort asks that memory cards be pulled from voting machines and have all ballots voided.  Only one justice needs to officially put in a request for a response, but it's not clear how many of the nine justices (all Republican) have asked for the response.

State Attorney wants USPS ballot audit after backlog found at Miami-Dade mail facility.  Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernández Rundle wants every mail distribution center in the county to be searched for undelivered ballots, and for those ballots to be brought immediately to the Miami-Dade Elections Department ahead of the Nov. 3 election.  In a statement Friday night, the county's top prosecutor called for action from the U.S. Postal Service after the Miami Herald reported a backlog of mail at the Princeton post office in South Miami-Dade County near Homestead.  Fernández Rundle said she was working with the elections department and the USPS inspector general's office "to make sure that all ballots are accounted for and all votes are counted."

Chicago unveils Election Day security plan spanning 10 days.  Chicago city leaders unveiled a 10-day Election Day preparedness plan Friday, after a summer of unrest, surges in violent crime and lockdowns amid the coronavirus pandemic.  Mayor Lori Lightfoot said the city had been planning since the late summer, which she said was at times "humbling" but also "instructive."  "We've been focused on two issues when it comes to Election Day," Lightfoot told reporters.  "First is election integrity.  The second, of course, is public safety."

Massive Florida mail pile-up believed to include ballots.  A Post Office in Florida's largest county is inundated with a mail backlog, which could reportedly contain ballots.  The Minority Leader of the Florida House of Representatives, Kionne Mcghee, posted undated footage to his Twitter account on Friday that allegedly showed USPS Inspection Service officials arriving at a Florida Post Office location in Miami-Dade County to look into a massive mail pile-up, which is said to include mail-in ballots.  One local resident told McGhee he or she hadn't received mail in five days, while a source told McGhee that sorting was expected to go on past Tuesday.

Duplicate mail-in and absentee ballots sent to voters due to system issue.  Allegheny County has discovered that some people have received multiple ballots in the mail.  The Allegheny County Elections Division said it is having an issue with the system reprinting labels for absentee and mail-in ballots, causing some voters to get multiple ballots.  The Natale family of Munhall got their mail-in ballots weeks ago.  They filled them out, turned them in and got email confirmation from the county that their ballots were received.  Leanne Natale said they were shocked when Wednesday's mail delivered more ballots.

Dead Voters Receiving Mail-In Ballots Across New Jersey Ahead of Election.  The dead are now receiving mail-in election ballots in New Jersey, so are people who haven't lived at an address in years, sometimes decades, if ever at all.  One New Jersey Mayor, Carlos Rendo of Woodcliff Lake, who ran for Lt. Governor in 2017 today sounded the alarm.  "Well, it's bound to happen," Rendo said.  "Dead people have started to receive their ballots.  I believe that the NJGOP is gathering the evidence for a possible injunction."

Pennsylvania Official Says 'Thousands of Ballots' Mailed to Voters Have 'Gone Missing'.  A county official in Pennsylvania warned voters this week that "thousands of ballots" have "gone missing" just days before the 2020 general election; raising new fears over voter fraud heading into November 3rd.  "At first we thought that maybe it just was a delay in the postal system," Leslie Osche, chair of the Butler County board of commissioners, told local CBS affiliate KDKA.  "And that could still be the case.  But nonetheless, when we realized that, we changed our strategy and now have begun to tell folks that if they haven't received a ballot, they still have multiple options."

Last-minute challenge threatens to reject thousands of drive-thru votes in Harris County.  In a last-ditch effort to stop drive-thru voting in Harris County, Republicans have filed a new lawsuit, asking the Texas Supreme Court to reject thousands of drive-thru votes already cast in cars by calling them "illegal."  This new move could potentially jeopardize more than 100,000 ballots already cast in Harris County, according to Harris County Court Clerk Chris Hollins.  This is not the first time a GOP-led effort has attempted to shut down drive-thru voting in Harris County.  Just last week, the Texas Supreme Court dismissed GOP challenges that tried to end drive-thru voting in Harris County.

The Editor says...
How could this be legal?  It's supposed to be a secret ballot.  This arrangement apparently requires an attendant looking over your shoulder as you vote, presumably so you don't drive off with the hand-held voting machine.  Harris County is the same place where the Republican State Convention was to have been held, until it was canceled at the last minute by Democrats.

Detroit officials project 50% voter turnout and fewer absentee ballots than expected.  Detroit election officials are projecting 50% voter turnout in the city of Detroit, higher than in 2016, but lower than in 2012 and 2008 when Barack Obama's candidacy drew high voter participation.  And the number of absentee ballots the city is expecting is now lower than officials had estimated earlier this month.  Speaking Thursday [10/29/2020] to reporters in the basement of TCF Center in downtown Detroit, Detroit City Clerk Janice Winfrey and other election officials said they are working to prepare for a historic election in Michigan — a swing state that many will be closely watching next week.

Federal Appeals Court Delivers Win for Election Integrity in Minnesota.  The United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit ruled on Thursday [10/29/2020] that Minnesota absentee ballots must be received by 8 p.m. on election day (Nov 3) to be counted.  Under Minnesota law, election officials can only count ballots received by election day.  But Democrat Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon entered into a consent decree, confirmed by a Minnesota state court, directing election officials to count absentee ballots received up to one week following election day.  The decree was challenged in court and determined on Thursday to be in likely violation of the U.S. Constitution.

Federal Appeals Court [Overturns] Minnesota Supreme Court [and] Orders Ballots Arriving After Statutory Cut-Off Date to Not Be Counted.  Now this is what you call a fast moving legal story.  As I noted in this story posted earlier today, the Minnesota Supreme Court received a petition yesterday from the Trump Campaign and other Republican interest groups asking that all ballots received after the 8:00 pm deadline on election day — which appears in the Minnesota election law statute — be segregated from mailed ballots that are received in compliance with that deadline.  The Minnesota Supreme Court responded with an Order directing the petitioners to file a brief explaining why it could not have requested that relief earlier, and why the doctrine of "laches" should not preclude the Court from granting such relief only days ahead of the election.

New Yorkers' plan to illegally vote by shaving heads foiled.  The NYPD is investigating an allegation that people tried to vote illegally in The Bronx on Thursday [10/29/2020] — by shaving their heads to change their appearance, The [New York] Post has learned.  The incident took place around 2 p.m. when the group of would-be voters entered an early-voting site at St. Frances de Chantal Church in Throggs Neck, law enforcement sources said.  Despite their attempts at disguise, a person at the polling place recognized them as having voted there previously and confronted them, sources said.  The group ran out and got away in two vehicles, but the person followed them, recorded the license plates and called 911, sources said.

Democrat Delusions About Early Voting.  CNN analyst Harry Enten, for example, advises us that the current high volume of mail-in ballots confirms national polls showing Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden with a comfortable lead over Trump.  Likewise, Slate tells its readers, "The Early Voting Revolution Is Already Helping Joe Biden."  But we have seen such headlines before.  Just prior to Election Day 2016, Politico ran a story titled, "Record-breaking early voting fuels Democratic optimism."  That optimism turned out to be hopelessly delusional, as will this year's premature exhilaration.  The reason early Democratic voters rarely live up to such great expectations is that they usually aren't newly registered voters.  They tend to be long-time Democrats whose votes are being cannibalized from ballots they would have cast on Election Day.

2 Florida men allegedly used device to fish out mail, mail-in ballots: report.  Two suspects in Florida have been arrested after being accused of stealing mail and mail-in ballots earlier this week by using an apparent homemade device capable of lifting letters out of a dropbox, reports said.  A police officer in Lighthouse Point, near Fort Lauderdale, spotted a vehicle that seemed to be lingering near a mailbox late Tuesday night, the Sun-Sentinel of South Florida reported.  The officer said he spotted the device, mail and two ballots while questioning the suspects, the report said.  The suspects were identified as Junior Alexander Cabral, 28, and Vladimir Cabral Cuevas, 20.

Judge orders USPS to reverse mail collection limits now.  A federal judge on Tuesday night [10/27/2020] ordered the U.S. Postal Service to reverse limitations on mail collection imposed by Trump-backed Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, giving the agency until Wednesday morning to inform workers of the court's changes as more mail-in ballots continue to flood in.  In a highly detailed order, Judge Emmet Sullivan of the District Court for the District of Columbia granted an emergency motion by plaintiffs against President Donald Trump to enforce and monitor compliance with Sullivan's previous injunction tied to USPS services.

The Editor says...
Hmmm...  Judge Emmet Sullivan.  That name sounds familiar.

What Happened To That "Flood" Of Mail-In Ballots?  By this point, I'm sure you've all heard the various horror stories about mail-in ballots going missing, being sent to the wrong homes, getting set on fire, tossed into dumpsters and all the rest.  Why?  Because there are so many of them as compared to a "normal" election year.  But are there really?  This rather odd story from the Associated Press quotes some figures that don't seem to line up with the hype.  The focus of the article is the large number of ballots that were sent out but have yet to be returned.  Underlying those bits of data, however, are the total numbers that have been received and processed thus far.  And it's really not that many more than four years ago at this point. [...]

Boston Man Caught On Surveillance Lighting Ballot Box On Fire.  A Boston man has been arrested in connection with the burning of a ballot box in the Back Bay over the weekend, police said.  Worldy Armand, 39, is set to be arraigned Monday in Boston Municipal Court on a charge of willful and malicious burning, according to police.  Armand allegedly set fire to a drop box containing more than 100 ballots outside the Boston Public Library around 4 a.m.  Sunday.  [Video clip]

Polling places in Iowa are closing due to COVID-19, which could affect close races.  Voters in Iowa are facing shuttered polling locations less than a week away from Election Day, largely due to the various outbreaks of COVID-19 that have gripped the state.  Iowa is one of the several Midwest states experiencing record upticks in new coronavirus infections, with 1,133 Iowans testing positive for the virus yesterday [10/28/2020].  Two days prior, Iowa set a record for the number of new cases, reporting 2,691 on Oct. 26.  In total, more than 121,000 people in Iowa tested positive for the coronavirus.

The Editor says...
The right to vote must not be suspended due to irrational fear over positive test results.  Let me vote at my own risk!  I am not sick, and I am not afraid.

Pennsylvania Agrees to Segregate Ballots That Arrive After Election Day While Republicans Fight State Supreme Court Ruling.  The US Supreme Court said on Wednesday [10/28/2020] that it will not fast track Republicans' challenge to Pennsylvania's extended deadline for absentee ballots.  The justices did leave open the possibility that they would ultimately rule in favor of Pennsylvania Republicans.  Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who was just sworn in, did not participate in Wednesday's decision "because she has not had time to fully review the parties' filings."

Supreme Court Rejects GOP Appeal, Allows Democrats to Extend North Carolina Vote-by-Mail Deadline.  The Supreme Court has voted 5-3 to deny a request by Republicans to overturn a decision by Democratic authorities in North Carolina to allow mail-in ballots to be counted nine days after Election Day and without a witness signature.  Justices Neil Gorsuch, Samuel Alito, and Clarence Thomas dissented, though only Gorsuch and Alito signed the dissent.  Newly-sworn-in Justice Amy Coney Barrett did not participate in the decision.

Florida man arrested after altering Ron DeSantis's voter registration.  Police in Florida arrested a 20-year-old man accused of changing Gov. Ron DeSantis's address in the state's voter database, temporarily preventing the governor from casting his vote.  Authorities arrested Anthony Guevara on Tuesday [10/27/2020] and charged him with property crime and felony voter fraud.  When DeSantis went to vote on Monday, he found that someone changed his address from Tallahassee to West Palm Beach.  Secretary of State Laurel Lee said that DeSantis was able to vote as soon as the address was fixed, CNN reported.

Why Voter Fraud Is a Real Threat in Next Week's Election.  [Scroll down]  Well, when you look at states like California, and this is also what the Democrats in Washington in the House have tried to implement nationwide — actually, as recently as the last stimulus bill that passed with zero Republican support and 18 Democrats voting against it with us just a few weeks ago.  It had 71 pages of election law changes that would have been permanent.  It's not a pandemic response.  In those changes, ballot harvesting would have been legal nationwide in this election.  When they passed that bill, the election in Illinois had already started with early voting and mail-in voting.  That's their priority.  Now, what has happened in states like California, you have a live ballot sent to every registered voter.  Then there's a list of every registered voter who gets that ballot.  You have ballot brokers, political operatives that go to the doors where they know these ballots have been mailed, and they ask the voter, "Can we see that?  Can we have that ballot?  Have you cast it?  Don't worry.  We'll take it to the polling place for you."

The Late Ballot Scam.  Democrats and media allies falsely claim that newly confirmed Justice Amy Coney Barrett is poised to steal the election for Donald Trump.  Democrats are demanding she recuses herself from election cases coming before the Supreme Court.  Otherwise, warns The Washington Post, "the court's reputation will be shattered" and "the public's faith in democracy" destroyed.  Truth is, it's the Democrats trying to tilt the scale for their candidate.  They're swarming swing states with armies of lawyers filing lawsuits.  Some challenge voter ID laws or signature requirements on ballots.  But their biggest goal is to overturn state laws requiring that mailed ballots arrive by Election Day.  Democrats want ballots counted even if they arrive several days late and have no postmark.  As if elections don't have deadlines.  The left claims failing to count late ballots amounts to "voter disenfranchisement."  That's crazy.  You'd have to be living on the moon not to know by now to vote or mail in a ballot early to avoid Election Day crowds.  That's why an astounding 66 million people have already voted.  The voter disenfranchisement argument is a scam.  It's like claiming that people who get to the airport late have a right to demand the plane wait for them.

De Blasio waits in line nearly four hours to vote as elections snafu roils New York.  Punctuality-challenged Mayor Bill de Blasio more than met his match on Tuesday, waiting for 3½ hours on line in Brooklyn to vote, as he again blasted the Board of Elections for the glacial process.  After joining a blocks-long line around the Park Slope Armory at 1:20 p.m., Hizzoner first had to endure some heckling from passersby.  "Get to work!" yelled one passing cyclist.  "You're the worst mayor ever!" intoned another critic walking by.  But the waiting was the hardest part, as de Blasio logged some three-and-a-half hours on his feet before finally casting his ballot at 4:50 p.m.

Texas 'Ballot Chaser' Pressures Voter to Change Vote from Cornyn to Hegar: 'That's My Job' ... 'I Can Honestly Say I'm Bringing at Least 7,000 Votes to The Polls'.  Project Veritas undercover journalists infiltrated a ballot harvesting racket deep in the heart of Texas in a devastating report released today [10/27/2020].  "We keep hearing voter fraud is a myth and anyone who challenges that notion is simply creating hysteria," said James O'Keefe, the founder and CEO of Project Veritas.  "I went to Texas to be part of the Project Veritas investigation into election fraud and to be on the ground here with our undercover journalists," O'Keefe said.  "Our journalists discovered a voter fraud system positioned to swing Texas in 2020," he said.  "These so-called 'ballot chasers' use a mix of gifts and coercion to work down their list of targeted voters and make sure they vote for their paymasters," he said.  "The actions violate both federal and state law and constitute a direct threat to the integrity of our election-based republic."

Judge orders South Carolina to accept ballots with signature mismatch.  A federal judge ruled Tuesday [10/27/2020] that South Carolina must count mail ballots even if voters' signatures don't match those on file, as long as officials are otherwise satisfied with the ballot.  Judge Richard Gergel, an Obama appointee, said some counties in the state are engaged in "unauthorized" signature-matching, and he ordered them to stop.  He called them a "hodgepodge" of rules, with some not even giving voters a chance to fix any errors before their ballots were tossed.

'If I go to prison, I don't look cute in stripes': Undercover sting alleges to bust 'ballot harvesting racket' in Texas.  Project Veritas dropped a video Tuesday [10/27/2020] on what the conservative watchdog group called "a ballot harvesting racket deep in the heart of Texas."  An undercover journalist with the group accompanied a "ballot chaser" who is seen on video coercing voters to change their ballot and even offering gifts.  "We keep hearing voter fraud is a myth and anyone who challenges that notion is simply creating hysteria," said Project Veritas founder and CEO James O'Keefe.  "I went to Texas to be part of the Project Veritas investigation into election fraud and to be on the ground here with our undercover journalists," he added.  "Our journalists discovered a voter fraud system positioned to swing Texas in 2020."

The Battle Royal of 2020.  The winning Democratic formula revolves around early voting, prolonged ballot counts, eliminating signature matching, assuring postal delays for mailed returns and harvesting by third parties.  Republicans have pushed back on these practices as breeding grounds for fraud and corruption.  Of the eleven states that have adopted universal mail-in voting, only one, Utah, leans Republican.  Utah senator Mitt Romney, always the burr under President Trump's saddle, endorses the practice.  The states of California, New Jersey, Nevada, and Vermont, home to 34 million voters, have used COVID fearmongering as a Black Swan to change their election practices.  Governors in those states have speculated upon science, proclaiming in-person voting as a super spreader while blessing street protests and everyday queues at motor vehicle agencies, food stores, and cafes.

Ohio county says nearly 50,000 voters received wrong ballots.  Nearly 50,000 voters received incorrect absentee ballots in the county that is home to Ohio's capital, elections officials said Friday as they promised corrected ballots would be mailed within 72 hours.  With about 240,000 ballots mailed, that meant one in five voters received a wrong ballot.  The error happened Saturday afternoon when someone changed a setting on a machine that places absentee ballots into mailing envelopes, Franklin County elections officials said Thursday [10/8/2020].

Hundreds of mail-in ballots were found tossed in New Jersey dumpster.  Overall, election officials and experts seem to agree for the most part that voting by mail is a totally viable alternative to voting in person, especially since many states have allowed it for decades without issue.  Now, a story out of New Jersey is shaking things up a bit, as 200 blank ballots were found among a pile of mail that was discarded near a dumpster.  The ballots — which were on their way to voters' homes — actually made up a small percentage of the 300 pounds of mail that had been discarded next to the trash bin.

Barrett joins court as battles over Pennsylvania election laws intensify.  The addition of Justice Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court restores the judicial body to its nine-person roster at a time when legal battles over state voting laws rage on just days before a presidential election.  Republicans fighting a decision by the state supreme court in Pennsylvania are hoping that Barrett's presence on the court will restore state laws that they believe protect the integrity of the election.  One such case has already been addressed by the high court, resulting in a 4-4 split that left in place the state court's order that extended Pennsylvania's deadline for receiving ballots and allowed ballots to be counted even if they were not clearly postmarked by Election Day.  The Pennsylvania GOP is intervening in the case and wants the Supreme Court to decide the case on the merits as soon as possible.

Roughly one-third of Tarrant County's mail-in ballots cause scanning issues due to defective barcodes.  Roughly one-third of Tarrant County's mail-in ballots are getting rejected by ballot scanners due to illegible barcodes by the printing company, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram first reported.  Tarrant County Election Administrator Heider Garcia placed the blame on the printing vendor, as officials said the scanners are having trouble reading the barcode on the envelope to validate the ballot inside, which is causing the scanners to reject them.  Garcia told the Tarrant County Commissioners Court Tuesday morning that the election board will have to manually recopy the mail-in ballots with illegible barcodes into new ballots under the election code, but that every valid vote ultimately will be counted properly.

Officials Arrest 39-Year-Old For Boston, Mass.  Ballot Drop Box Arson.  A 39-year-old Boston, Mass. man has been taken into custody in connection with what officials are calling a "deliberate act of arson" to a ballot drop off box.  Worldy Armand was arrested Sunday night and was charged with willful and malicious burning.  This came after video surveillance showed a man setting fire to a ballot drop-off box in Boston's Copley Square.  Secretary of State William Gavin and Boston Mayor Marty Walsh issued a joint statement that stated this crime was a complete disgrace to democracy.

Former Postal Worker Charged for Allegedly Tossing Absentee Ballots in Dumpster.  A former United States Postal Service (USPS) worker faces federal charges for allegedly throwing away mail that included over 100 absentee ballots in Jefferson County, Kentucky.  "DeShawn Bojgere, 30, of, Louisville, Kentucky, has been charged with the delay or destruction of mail, a federal crime under 18 United States Code 1703," the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Western District of Kentucky said in a press release Monday [10/26/2020].

US Supreme Court Sides with GOP, Rejects Dem Calls to Extend Wisconsin Deadline For Absentee Ballots Received After Election Day.  The US Supreme Court on Monday [10/26/2020] in a 5-3 vote rejected Democrat calls to reinstate the six-day extension for the receipt of mail ballots in Wisconsin.  This is a huge win for President Trump, the GOP and the American people.  President Trump won the historically blue state of Wisconsin in 2016 against Hillary Clinton by a razor thin margin.  The Democrats fought to reinstate the six-day extension for absentee ballots and lost big time on Monday.

Waiter, There's a Judge in My Ballot Box.  Our country cannot survive another Election By Lawsuit.  We do not need this in our national elections.  We got a taste of it in 2000, when instead of conceding defeat, the estimable Albert Cardinal Gore decided to try to win in a courtroom what he had just lost at the ballot box.  As we all know now, this ended up as Dueling Supreme Courts... the one in Florida that was full of Democrats and ruled every time in favor of Gore, and the one in DC that wasn't and didn't.  That episode was horribly destructive to the fabric of the nation.  No matter whose side you were on, what you just watched was an election where votes either counted or didn't depending on the whims of judges.  And since an election is by definition a partisan dispute, the minute judges wade into it they become partisan players as well.  They can't help but look that way to whichever side loses, which is exactly what happened.  To this day, Democrats insist that Al Gore won the 2000 election but that it was stolen from him by "conservatives" on the Supreme Court.  Never mind whether you agree with that, please agree that the entire proceeding damaged the perception of the fairness and integrity of our nation's court system in the minds of half the population, and had the long-term effect of strengthening the perception that the courts are simply another one of the political branches.  Which is not a place anyone wanted to go.

Kentucky: U.S. Postal Employee 'No Longer Employed' After 112 Ballots Found in Dumpster.  A U.S. Postal Service employee is out of a job amid an investigation into over 100 absentee ballots discarded in a dumpster in Louisville, Kentucky.  A contractor found the unopened 112 ballots while renovating a home in Jefferson County on Thursday 10/22/2020].  Additionally, two political flyers were discovered by special agents with the Postal Service Office of the Inspector General.

Learn your lesson:  Don't vote early!
Some early voters want to change their vote after Hunter Biden exposés.  The [New York] Post's exposés on Hunter Biden appear to have helped spark a rush of early voters seeing if they can change their minds — with New York one of a handful of states giving some that unexpected right.  More than 58.5 million have already cast their ballots, and searches for "Can I change my vote" started trending over the last few days — linked to searches for "Hunter Biden," according to Google Trends data.  The biggest interest has come from Arizona, Tennessee and Virginia, all states that — like most of the US — only give residents one shot at the polls.  But "in some states, you can submit your ballot, have a change of heart and, and submit a new ballot," Matthew Weil, director of the Election Project at the Bipartisan Policy Center, told Newsy.

The Editor says...
There is no such thing as an "unexpected right."  If you are arbitrarily granted unexpected permission to do something, that's a temporary privilege, not a right.

Massachusetts officials ask FBI to probe fire set in Boston ballot-box.  A Boston ballot box was set on fire early Sunday in what appears to be a "deliberate attack," according to local officials, who called the incident "a disgrace to democracy." Authorities in Massachusetts have asked the FBI to investigate the blaze, which was sparked around 4 a.m. outside the main branch of the Boston Public Library.  The drop-off box held 122 ballots, 35 of which were largely spoiled, Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin's office said.  Galvin and Boston Mayor Marty Walsh blasted the act as a "disgrace to democracy, a disrespect to the voters fulfilling their civic duty, and a crime."

Are Recent Reports of COVID Surges an Attempt to Suppress In-Person Voting?  Back in March, the COVID mantra was, "15 days to slow the spread", meaning flattening the curve.  The purpose was to avoid overwhelming the medical system as no one really knew what we were up against with the Wuhan virus.  This allowed time for the system to adapt and recalibrate to this new illness.  As the virus peaked in mid-April, the subsequent months should have been the normal course of a viral pandemic, some getting sick to varying degrees, others unfortunately dying, but eventually reaching herd immunity, itself a longstanding concept — suddenly controversial.  This has been the course of past flu seasons and other viral pandemics, but none lead to shutting down economies all over the world, causing incalculable financial and social devastation to cities, states, countries, and individuals.  Just when we see a light at the end of the tunnel there is a reported surge in cases, often timed to political events.

Early Voting Is a Cancer on the Electoral Process, and This Graph Proves It.  During the Democratic primaries earlier this year, voters who cast early ballots for Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar in Super Tuesday states found out the hard way that early voting can be dangerous.  Both candidates dropped out before Super Tuesday, and voters who cast ballots for them couldn't do anything about it.  They couldn't revote.  The only state that allowed voters to change their ballots was Minnesota, but the deadline had already passed.  Scenarios like this should have been the nail in the coffin for early voting.  But the pandemic raised concerns about in-person voting for many and has caused a huge surge in mail-in voting and in-person early voting.

Detroit Election Workers Trained To Kick Out Poll Watchers, Count Challenged Ballots, Throw Out Provisional Ballots.  Hidden audio has emerged from an anonymous source who took the election work training classes in Detroit, Michigan. [...] The audio, posted in a video on YouTube, reveals that election workers are trained to try to kick out poll watchers and anyone who challenges any ballot.  "They have to wear a mask, and they have to stay six feet.  That's important because if you don't have six feet, they can't come back there," advises the instructor, who then goes on to say that a person standing six feet away from the ballots cannot accurately see what is going on and can't verify any signatures, "Unless they got really good vision or they brought their binoculars."  Trainees are told that the number one thing people will scrutinize are the absentee ballots.

Joe Biden: 'We Have Put Together the Most Extensive Voter Fraud Organization in History'.  In either one of Joe Biden's signature gaffes, or a really terrible Freudian slip, former Vice President Joe Biden asserted that they have put together the "most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics."  "We have put together, and you guys did it for President Obama's administration before this, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics," Biden said during a virtual Get Out the Vote event.  [Video clip]

Joe Biden Just Said He's Got a Great 'VOTER FRAUD Organization' Going.  Some people who have seen the hastily hatched post-COVID voter rules in Democrat states know there are some serious ballot shenanigans going on this election.  Now, Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden has wittingly — or unwittingly — confirmed it.  You just never know with Joe. [...] Biden was holding a rare campaign event — via video — when he boastfully proclaimed that his campaign operates "the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics."  [Video clip]

What Happens if No One Wins?  The Constitution provides for election crises, and its provisions favor Trump.  A crucial fact in this year's election is that, largely because of COVID, an unprecedented number of voters will vote by mail.  According to the Washington Post, 84% of the electorate, or 198 million eligible voters, will be able to vote by mail this year.  In the 2016 election, roughly 25% of the votes were cast by mail.  This year, as many of half the ballots may be mailed in.  Republicans tend to prefer voting in person while Democrats tend to prefer absentee balloting.  In the swing state of North Carolina, Democrats requested 53% of the absentee ballots and Republicans 15%.  A July poll reported that 60% of the Democrats in Georgia, but only 28% of the Republicans, are likely to vote by mail.  Counting mailed votes could make a decisive difference on Election Day.  In the 2012 election, Barack Obama bolstered his winning margins substantially in swing states like Florida, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania through overtime votes.  Hillary Clinton picked up tens of thousands of overtime votes in 2016, though not enough to win.

No ID? No Problem!  Poll Workers Told Voters Do Not Have to Prove Their Identity.  An instructor of poll voters in Detroit has confirmed that voters can show up to polling locations and vote in elections without showing identification or otherwise proving their identity.  The instructor explained that voters without an identification would merely have to sign an affidavit, and then they would be given a ballot and allowed to vote.  "The affidavit is only used if someone does not have ID at all.  No ID at all.  I stress over not turning voters away," she explained.

Over 1 million ballots accepted in Minnesota so far.  Over one million ballots have been accepted so far for the general election in Minnesota.  According to the Secretary of State's Office, as of Friday, 1,765,327 have been submitted and 1,186,522 have been accepted.

Pa. Supreme Court says mail-in ballots will count even if signatures don't match.  Pennsylvania's Supreme Court ruled Friday that election officials must accept mail-in ballots even if the signatures on them don't match those on file for a voter.  The justices said nothing in the state's laws required signatures to be verified, so if election officials are satisfied with the vote save for the signature, they cannot reject it.  "We, therefore, grant the Secretary's petition for declarative relief, and direct the county boards of elections not to reject absentee or mail-in ballots for counting, computing, and tallying based on signature comparisons conducted by county election officials or employees, or as the result of third-party challenges based on such comparisons," Justice Debra Todd wrote in the opinion for a unanimous court.

Is The Biden Scandal The Reason Democrats Pushed Voters To Cast Ballots Before Election Day?  Democrats campaigned this year for mail-in and early voting as if it were the most important issue in politics.  Now we think we know why:  They wanted voters to make their selections before Bidengate arrived.  As of Tuesday [10/20/2020], more than 41 million ballots have already been cast, two full weeks before Election Day, and about 30% of the total cast in the 2016 presidential election.  How many of those votes were decided before the Hunter Biden email scandal emerged?  We'd guess quite a few.  One report says that Democratic-affiliated voters have returned their ballots at roughly a 1.4-to-1 ratio over Republican-affiliated voters.

MAGA Hats Allowed in California Polling Places.  Hats and clothing bearing the slogan "Make America Great Again," or MAGA, will be allowed in polling places in California because they do not advocate specifically for any particular presidential candidate.  The Los Angeles Times pointed out the contradiction Thursday:  supporters of Joe Biden cannot wear their campaign swag, most of which includes the candidate's name, but Trump supporters can wear anything that says "MAGA."

Mail-in Voting Will Not Prevent a Trump Victory.  [Scroll down]  Vote by mail will not affect the outcome of the election because it is mostly done in states that Trump does not need to win.  The second group of concern is the 14 states, including Ohio, who mailed absentee ballot applications — not ballots — to all of their "registered voters."  Unlike blanket mailing of ballots, this system allows for voter verification and provides the state's Board of Elections with an accurate count of ballots to expect on Election Day — which is handy if there are issues with mail delivery.  In all, 35 of the 45 states allowing absentee voting are doing so with a ballot request requirement.  Widespread use means most election boards will have accurate information — like who received a ballot before the election and how many are still in circulation — when verifying their state's results.  So, unless the number of outstanding absentee ballots is greater than the margin of victory for Trump, they will not matter.

New Jersey boards of election struggle with thousands of undeliverable ballots.  New Jersey county clerks and boards of election are struggling with thousands of ballots that have been deemed undeliverable for a number of reasons.  Monmouth County Clerk Christine Hanlon estimates there are 32 trays holding a total of 9,600 ballots representing people who very likely haven't received a ballot for the election.  "We open every one and see if there is any way to remail the ballot," she says.  "Some come back because the voter may be deceased.  A lot come back because voters think the post office will forward their mail, but ballots are not forwarded."

Judicial Watch finds 1.8 million 'ghost voters' in 29 states, warns of 'dirty elections'.  Judicial Watch has released a comparison study of Census Bureau population statistics and state voter registration data to reveal a notable disparity.  The watch dog group is now warning of potential voter fraud and "dirty" voter rolls.  The study found that 352 U.S. counties in 29 states managed to have 1.8 million more registered voters than eligible voting-age citizens.  "In other words, the registration rates of those counties exceeded 100% of eligible voters.  The study found eight states showing state-wide registration rates exceeding 100%:  Alaska, Colorado, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Vermont," reported Tom Fitton, president of the watchdog group.

'Banana Republic of America'.  It appears the United States of America is well on the path to earn the less-than-coveted title of "Banana Republic of America."  America is a democratic republic.  We have a representative form of government where each area chooses a representative to promote their interests within the body of government.  Essential to the success of this form of government is the integrity of the ballot process.  Every legitimate vote must be counted, and fraudulent ballots must be rooted out.  Public confidence that the individual who gets the most votes really wins is the most basic building block in the democratic process.  That public confidence is being obliterated in 2020.  President Trump and the Republican Party are quite sure the Democrats are out to steal the election.  Democrat stronghold cities are sending out mail-in ballots whether people request them or not.  Some communities are saying no witness and no signature is necessary for a ballot to count.  Both policies would seem to open the process up to fraud.

Los Angeles ballots damaged after suspected arson attack on official drop box.  A fire inside an official election drop box in Los Angeles county has damaged voters' ballots and is under investigation for arson, officials said.  The blaze Sunday night [10/18/2020] in the city of Baldwin Park appeared to be intentional, according to authorities, though the cause and the extent of the destruction were still under investigation.  The fire required firefighters to spray water into the box to extinguish the flames, likely causing significant damage.  Video from the scene showed dozens of wet and burnt ballots.

We Gamed Out The 2020 Election And Found Our Constitution Can Handle The Madness.  Due to the political stoking of fears of contracting COVID-19, a massive push has been made, mostly by the left, to encourage voting by mail.  This significantly alters the calculus on Election Day and completely upends the post-election period.  Most states and local election officials aren't prepared to process, validate, and count large numbers of mail-in ballots.  In six swing states (totaling 74 Electoral College votes) — Georgia, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — no mail-in ballots may be counted before Election Day.  Since reports indicate a far greater interest in voting by mail for Democrats than Republicans, it's likely that President Trump will be winning these states by large margins on Election Day, only to see that margin shrink in the days and weeks after Election Day.  Indeed, that is precisely the narrative being crafted by leading organs of the mainstream media.  Further, voting by mail doesn't result in the same success rate as does voting in person.

New Data Analysis Finds 353 Counties With 1.8 Million More Registered Voters Than Eligible Citizens.  A total of 353 counties in 29 U.S. states have 1.8 million more registered voters than eligible voting-age citizens, according to an analysis by Judicial Watch.  In addition, eight states, including Alaska, Colorado, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Vermont, were found to have statewide registered voter totals that exceeded 100 percent of eligible voters, according to the nonprofit government watchdog.  Judicial Watch compared the registration data available for 37 states with the U.S. Census Bureau's most recently available American Community Survey (ACS) numbers for the period 2014-2018 on a county-by-county basis.

SCOTUS allows 3 day extension for PA ballots.  Thanks to the Supreme Court, the odds of knowing who won the presidential election on the night of November 3rd just fell even lower.  Pennsylvania voters have been requesting absentee ballots in record numbers this year and those ballots traditionally had to be received by election day so the counting could begin as soon as the polls closed.  But state Democrats went to court asking for ballots to be considered valid if they were postmarked by election day and received within three days later, on November 6th.  The state supreme court sided with the Democrats on Saturday and the issue was appealed to the Supreme Court on an emergency basis.  Last night [10/19/2020] the nation's highest court weighed in by failing to weigh in.  The court was deadlocked 4-4, allowing the state court's decision to stand.

Supreme Court Rejects Republican Challenge to Pennsylvania Vote-by-Mail Changes; 4-4 Split; Roberts Sides with Liberals.  The U.S. Supreme Court rejected a Republican application to stay the decision of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to grant the Democratic Party's request to make several changes to mail-in voting that critics have decried as vulnerable to fraud.  As Breitbart News reported last month, "The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled ... that ballots received three days after Election Day will still be counted — even if there is no evidence they were postmarked on time."  Republicans sought a stay.  The Supreme Court, however, split 4-4 on the request, leaving the decision of the lower court in place.  Chief Justice John Roberts sided with the Court's liberal minority; the remaining four conservative justices sided with the Republican request.

Texas prevails in court fight to block bogus ballots.  A federal appeals court ruled in favor of the Texas government Monday, saying mail-in ballots are more prone to voter fraud and blocking a lower court decision that could have upended the state's signature-match requirement for those ballots.  The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that under Texas law, in-person voting is the norm and voting by mail is the exception, reserved for special cases such as the elderly and disabled.  And requiring those ballots to be accompanied by a valid signature is not an undue burden, given the state's interest in preventing voter fraud, the court ruled.

Close To Half A Million Ballots [have been] Sent To California Voters Who Have Moved Or Died.  Why do you suppose California Republicans are setting up their own ballot drop boxes at churches and gun shops to offer voters a safe way to ensure their votes make it to election officials for counting?  Do you suppose they have some concerns about how well the mass mail-in voting system will perform when it's put to the full test on November 3rd?  Perish the thought.  I'm sure everything will be fine.  Well... nearly everything.  But we might not be entirely confident about the eventual fate of roughly 400,000 ballots that went out this month.  That's because their voter rolls don't appear to have been tended very well over the years and that huge slug of ballots went to people who had either moved out of the state or taken up residence in cemeteries.

Sammamish police return stolen ballots after thieves target mailboxes.  Police in Sammamish are warning voters to make sure they received their ballots after dozens of stolen ballots were recovered on Friday [10/16/2020].  First, police received a call from a cyclist who found a bag full of stolen mail that had ballots mixed in along East Lake Sammamish Parkway.  Later, someone else reported a handful of ballots thrown along the side of the road on Sahalee Way.  A representative from the Redmond post office also reported that a worker found about 35 ballots in an outgoing mailbox where they didn't belong.

More Examples of Election Fraud Prove the Left Is in Denial About It.  The 2020 presidential election is less than three weeks away, and many Americans have already voted early or through the mail.  Unfortunately, at the same time that they are exercising their franchise, there are others out there who are taking advantage of the vulnerabilities in our system to try to steal their vote or dilute the value of their vote.  Though many on the left downplay the threats to the security and integrity of the electoral process, such fraud really does occur, jeopardizing free and fair elections for the American people.  The Heritage Election Fraud Database showcases a sampling of close to 1,300 proven instances of election fraud.  Yet, many other cases go unreported and other potential cases are not investigated or prosecuted.

New report finds string of ballot mishaps confirms fears of large-scale mail-in voting.  The Honest Elections Project is warning that recent events unfolding in states throughout the country have confirmed their fears that November's election will be mired in controversy because states changed their voting procedures without adequate time to develop a workable system.  The group had warned in a July report that large-scale voting by mail would waste resources, create a risk of complications, such as fraud.  "Almost everything we warned of, happened in multiple states throughout the primaries," a new addendum to the report says.  "Rather than learn from these mistakes, many states are repeating them."

Over 100 mail-in ballots found in Kentucky dumpster, [USPS] employee may face federal charges.  After mail-in ballots were found discarded in a dumpster in Kentucky, a US postal worker was fired for the infraction and may face federal charges.  Among the discarded postal items were 112 absentee ballots, and political advertisements, according to local news.  "I will point out that the vast majority of the Postal Service's 630,000 employees are hard-working," said Special Agent Scott Balfour, from the US Postal Service Office of Inspector General, "trustworthy individuals who work around the clock to deliver the nation's mail, and incidents of this nature are exceedingly rare when put into that context."

Pennsylvania rejects 372K mail-in ballot applications following primary confusion: report.  Pennsylvania has rejected over 370,000 applications for mail-in ballots, most of which were duplicate requests, according to a report by ProPublica and the Philadelphia Inquirer.  The battleground state's election offices rejected 372,000 requests for mail-in ballots, according to the report.  About 90 percent of the denied application requests were duplicates, and one out of every five requests have been rejected.  Voters in the Keystone State can indicate to election officials if they would like mail-in ballot when they vote during their primary.  And issues arose when voters duplicated those requests after asking for a ballot in the general election during the state's June 2 primary.

New York man busted for requesting mail-in ballots for dead mom.  A Long Island man was busted for allegedly requesting two mail-in ballots on behalf of his dead mom, authorities said Friday [10/16/2020].  Suffolk County District Attorney Timothy Sini charged Wayne Tappe, a 57-year-old registered Democrat from Water Mill in the Hamptons, with two counts of offering a false instrument, a class-E felony.  The arrest of Tappe comes as President Trump and New York voting rights advocates have expressed concerns about snafus including voter fraud because of the unprecedented number of mail-in ballots being filed and processed to lessen in-person voting and prevent the spread of the coronavirus.  The Suffolk County Board of Elections reported receiving two applications to vote via absentee ballot from Lucille Tappe of Commack.

The 11th Circuit Again Quashes Judge's Continued Election Meddling in Alabama.  In the nearly five-month-long court battle involving a federal district court trying to prevent Alabama from enforcing state laws intended to safeguard the integrity of the voting process by requiring voters to present an ID when they vote as well as having a witness for absentee ballots, the latest developments occurred this week.  Fortunately, a three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has once again stayed (or dissolved) the judge's order, although it allowed him to order the state not to prohibit curbside voting.  After a lawsuit was filed in May, federal district court Judge Abdul Kallon, an appointee of President Barack Obama, "ordered [non-enforcement of] the state's de facto ban on curbside voting; suspended a photo ID requirement for voting absentee for those over 65 or those with a disability in [three Alabama] counties, and suspended a witness requirement in those counties."

Appeals court reverses ruling that said late-arriving absentee ballots must be counted.  The Michigan Court of Appeals on Friday reversed a lower court ruling that said late-arriving ballots must be counted, as long as they are postmarked the day before Election Day.  The Republican-controlled Legislature had appealed the September ruling by Michigan Court of Claims Judge Cynthia Stephens that said ballots postmarked before Election Day could arrive as much as 14 days late and still be counted.

Biden Donor Group Sends 225,000+ Ballot Requests, Including For DEAD Citizens.  A self-described "voter participation" group which donates exclusively to Democrats and Joe Biden's presidential campaign has been caught making en masse ballot requests for deceased people.  The Center for Voter Information was described by the Washington Post as having "a history of sending error-ridden mailers" but also labeled it "nonpartisan" — a farcical and manifestly false claim.  The group is responsible for sending over 225,000 ballot request forms to residents in Texas, many of whom are deceased.  As reported by local news, one individual received multiple ballot request forms for her deceased husband.

Unhinged South Carolina Elections Chairman Resigns After He Is Caught Defacing and Removing Trump Signs.  The chairman of the board of elections in South Carolina resigned after he and his wife were caught on video defacing and removing Trump signs in the state.  Dean Smith resigned after he was caught on deer cameras vandalizing Trump signs on Pawleys Island.

Mail-In and Absentee Voting Could Compromise Integrity of the 2020 Election.  Mail-in voting has increased sharply due to the coronavirus pandemic.  The Pew Research Center reported that in the 2016 general election, 24.9% of votes were absentee or mail-in and in the 2018 general election, 27.4% of votes were absentee or mail-in.  But during the 2020 primaries, 50.3% of votes cast were absentee or mail-in.  Is election security at stake?  What are some of the documented security vulnerabilities and problems associated with mail-in or absentee ballots?  J. Christian Adams, president and general counsel of the Public Interest Legal Foundation, joins the podcast to discuss.  [Audio]

Nearly 29,000 Voters Received Incorrect Mail-In Ballots in [one] Pennsylvania County.  Nearly 29,000 incorrect ballots were sent to voters in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, according to election board officials. [...] The development comes after nearly 50,000 voters received an incorrect ballot in Franklin County, Ohio, according to board election officials in part due to a scanning machine for the issue with ballots.

Minnesota Secretary of State:  Final election results will take at least a week.  The earliest final numbers from the 2020 election will not be available until a full week after Election Day, Minnesota election officials explained Tuesday [10/13/2020].  On a call Tuesday morning, Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon and his office outlined how Election Day 2020 will look and how ballots will be processed statewide this year.  Early voting in Minnesota is already underway.  New this year, the state of Minnesota will start counting absentee ballots 14 days before Election Day and will continue counting ballots until the close of business Nov. 10, a week after the Nov. 3 Election Day.  Other states, like Pennsylvania and Michigan, aren't allowed to start counting ballots until Nov. 3.

How to Steal an Election:  Mail-In Ballots.  What's the difference between absentee balloting and universal mail-in balloting?  The latter might sound like a great idea, but is it really?  Eric Eggers of the Government Accountability Institute answers this vitally important question.  [Video clip]

California Democrat Legislature Passed a Stupid "Vote Harvesting" Law and Are Now Paying the Price.  To begin with, California has the most ridiculously lax ballot harvesting law ever imagined.  They passed it in late Nov. 2016 after Donald Trump won the Presidency, and they clearly had in mind making use of it in a variety of nefarious ways in 2018.  They did so to great benefit, flipping several Congressional races in traditionally GOP districts that had become purple over the course of several election cycles.  The basic practice, as employed by Democrats, was to know the home address of every Democrat who requested an absentee ballot in the 2018 election.  One way they did that was by aggressively pushing registered Democrat voters to ask for absentee ballots and track those who did by their home address given when they sought the ballot through the party.  In the days leading up to the election, an army of volunteers — many of them union members from all parts of the labor movement in California, started knocking on the doors of those voters.  Many were elderly or otherwise housebound.

Appeals court again limits Texas counties to one mail-in ballot drop-off site.  A federal appeals court has issued a temporary order that blocks Texas counties from setting up multiple drop-off locations for mail-in ballots.  The Fifth District U.S. Court of Appeals on Saturday [10/10/2020] granted Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's request for an emergency stay of a federal judge's injunction that blocked Gov. Greg Abbott's order limiting counties to just one ballot drop-off location during early voting for the November elections.

California Man Finds Mail-In Ballots in Santa Monica Trash Cans.  A Santa Monica man found dozens of mail-in ballots and other important mail tossed into two trash cans in an alley last week.  The man called local authorities who are looking into the scandal. [...] Democrats are working overtime to make sure 2020 is the most highly contested election in US history.  They are pulling out all the stops to cast doubt on the US election process.

Federal judge upholds Minnesota's extended ballot counting.  A federal judge has upheld a state court agreement that extends Minnesota's deadline for counting absentee ballots by seven days.  Republicans had asked U.S. District Judge Nancy Brasel to block the seven-day extension that Democratic Secretary of State Steve Simon agreed to in state court after a citizens' rights group cited concerns about voter safety due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  But Brasel ruled late Sunday night that the plaintiffs in the case — a pair of Republicans serving as electors in the presidential election — don't have standing and denied their motion for a preliminary injunction.

Pennsylvania: Nearly 60,000 Mail Ballots Unaccounted for in Trump-Heavy County.  Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, a county that Trump won by over 30 points in 2016, has had a "snafu" in the distribution of ballots.  The ballots, which were supposed to be sent out this week to voters, never arrived.  [Tweet]  [Advertisement]  County officials blamed the lost ballots on an independent contractor responsible for distributing the ballots, saying that the ballots were not lost — rather, they were never sent out.  The officials stated that the issue was resolved, and that ballots should begin being sent out Friday morning, but did not state when the process would be completed by or when they expected to be all caught up.  They only said that they expected Mid-West Direct (the vendor) to be able to get through the backlog over the weekend, and for the process to run smoothly from that point forward.  We all know that, if this were a Democrat-heavy county, this would have made national news.

Tens of Thousands of Cases of Possible Vote Fraud Cited in New Report.  One of the constant refrains from those who oppose election reforms designed to protect the security and integrity of the voting process is that serious vote fraud is a myth.  But as a shocking new report from the Public Interest Legal Foundation shows, those naysayers could not be more wrong.  The foundation's report, "Critical Condition," highlights the severity of the problem:  inaccurate voter rolls, duplicate registrations, dead voters, and incomplete registrations — all of which allow fraud by those willing to exploit vulnerabilities in the system.  The foundation discovered more than 140,000 instances of potential election fraud in the 2016 and 2018 elections, ranging from individuals illegally voting in multiple states to someone voting in the name of a deceased person.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation created the type of database that President Donald Trump's Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity wanted to create, but was prevented from doing so by numerous frivolous lawsuits filed by the left.

Ballot Fraud, Felonies, And Theft — But Mail-In Voting Is Safe?  As election day draws ever closer, the anxiety about mail-in ballots is only increasing.  President Donald Trump has consistently warned about the dangers of voting by mail and the increased likelihood of errors and discrepancies — whether intentional or accidental.  There have been a few published incidents, but they have been downplayed and listed as inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.  A few ballots lost here or there is no big deal, right?  What about when mayoral candidates get busted for fraud, or postal workers caught dumping ballots in the trash, or even thieves stealing them from mailboxes?  The left would say it's all a conspiracy theory created by Trump fans who are looking for any way to sway the election.  However, these instances are not only real, but they all happened just this month.  And that's not counting other times and issues with mail-in ballots.

Judge throws out Trump campaign's Pennsylvania lawsuit.  A federal judge in Pennsylvania on Saturday threw out a lawsuit filed by President Donald Trump's campaign, dismissing its challenges to the battleground state's poll-watching law and its efforts to limit how mail-in ballots can be collected and which of them can be counted.  The ruling by U.S. District Judge J. Nicholas Ranjan — who was appointed by Trump — in Pittsburgh also poured cold water on Trump's claims that Pennsylvania is fertile ground for election fraud.

In NYC, only the 2nd ballot will count, it's here!  If you are unaware, nearly 100,000 incorrect ballots were sent out by New York City.  The officials said they would send out another 100,000 ballots.  Seriously, that was the plan.  That takes me to the present time and New York City Reddit user who received his new ballot.  You won't believe this. [...] The following was on Reddit so we decided to find out ourselves, but first, read the Reddit user's comments.  The Reddit user writes[:]  NYC Voter PSA: I just got a second absentee ballot in the mail after dropping off my first at the Brooklyn Board of Elections directly earlier this week.  An accompanying note says due to the original vendor error which caused some people to get mismatched envelopes ALL ORIGINAL BALLOTS will NOT be valid.

Will the Failed 'Silent Coup' Become the 'Stolen Election?'.  Although the left continues to downplay the issues surrounding "election integrity" this November, mounting evidence points to what is likely to turn into an eventual series of disputes, lawsuits, and potential anarchy in a year that has already been marred by civil unrest nationally.  This election season has so far seen the discarding of a number of military ballots in the state of Pennsylvania, most of which were for President Trump.  The fate of the Pennsylvania vote also looms large as some new procedures in the state during this unprecedented "coronavirus election" are sure to wind up in court due to a recent ruling that is gives PA voters an extra three days to return their mail ballots.  This matter may also play into the Supreme Court confirmation process of Amy Coney Barrett, as Republicans in Pennsylvania are already asking the SCOTUS to review the controversial ruling.

Vote Fraud Hits Virginia as Hundreds of Voters Receive Multiple Ballots.  Almost 1,400 Virginia voters have recently received duplicate absentee ballots in the mail because of printing errors.  So far, voters in three jurisdictions — Fairfax and Henrico counties as well as the City of Richmond — have reportedly been sent duplicates ballots as the November 3rd election quickly approaches.  Officials from Fairfax County told The Washington Post that extra ballots were mailed out by election workers to nearly 1,000 voters because of an issue with absentee ballot address labels.

Bay Area Voters Receive Multiple Ballots, Fuel Concern Over November Election.  California made the unprecedented decision this year to mail a ballot to every active registered voter.  Election officials in response are trying to walk voters through any issues they encounter.  The state is warning local election offices to be ready — and even expect — potential problems at polling places.  California officials specifically note for local election offices to be on the lookout for attempts at voter intimidation or disruption at the polls.

I've been encouraged to vote twice in New York's mail-in election disaster.  More than a week ago, I received in the mail an absentee ballot I assumed would allow me to vote remotely in the Nov. 3 presidential contest amid the COVID-19 pandemic.  Easy?  Not so fast.  This is your government at work.  The ballot in my hand was erroneously labeled for use by the "military," although I've never served in the armed forces.  Apparently, in a fit of dazzling incompetence, the New York City Board of Elections neglected to have a dash or a slash inserted between the words "absentee" and "military," which would have indicated that the document would work for everyone.  An unknown number of the flawed voting materials were shipped to adults in Brooklyn, where I live, and Queens.  Mass confusion erupted, as some non-serving men and women believed the ballots were no good, and may have tossed them.

New Hampshire Voters Receive Fake Ballots in the Mail with Personal Note.  New Hampshire voters are receiving fake ballots in the mail with personal notes attached.  The letter encourages New Hampshire voters to turn in the bogus document.

'Naked ballots' in Pennsylvania could be election wild card.  As a record number of Americans vote by mail this fall, Pennsylvania will become the first and only state to disqualify ballots received without a required secrecy envelope — referred to as "naked ballots" — while giving voters no recourse to fix the mistake.  Election officials have warned that new enforcement of the longstanding rule, mandated last month by the state's supreme court, could result in the rejection of as many as 100,000 ballots statewide by one estimate.

Ohio's Largest County Mails Voters 50,000 Incorrect Ballots.  Democrats and their media co-conspirators have been pushing the line that Republicans are opposed to mail-in ballots for nefarious reasons, despite all evidence to the contrary, new evidence is discovered every day.  On Friday [10/9/2020], the Franklin County, Ohio, Board of Elections announced that 49,669 voters throughout the county received an incorrect absentee ballot this week.  That represents almost 21% of the ballots mailed out to voters.

This was probably part of the plan all along:
Mail-in ballot rejection rate could cast doubt over election results.  In the 2020 general election, more Americans will vote by mail than ever before.  Some states, such as California, have mailed so-called unsolicited ballots to all registered voters.  Meanwhile, many others have expanded absentee ballot eligibility requirements.  One way or another, millions of Americans will vote via mail this fall, which could create a nightmare scenario in which the election outcome could be in flux weeks after Election Day.  There are many reasons why mail-in ballots are unreliable.  One of the most significant is that mail-in ballots are often rejected.

Twitter Locks Account of Ric Grenell over Voter Fraud Warning.  Twitter locked the account of former acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell after he shared an image of ballots sent to him by a friend living in California, who says they were addressed to his parents — who he claims have been dead for ten years.  "He's my friend in California, a very close friend of mine.  It's his parents who were sent these ballots, and he gave me the photo, and he gave me permission."

Another appellate court backs away from the abyss.  Last month, an Obama-appointed district court judge in Wisconsin ruled that any ballots that arrived in the six days after the election must still be counted as long as they were postmarked on election day.  However, a three-judge panel on the Seventh Circuit reversed the ruling.  This is yet another case in which appellate judges have stepped back from allowing an activist lower court judge to create chaos in the election's aftermath.  Wisconsin has been roiled by an ongoing battle about counting absentee ballots.  The Republicans, including the Republican majority legislature, believe that absentee ballots must be counted according to the laws on the books:  All absentee ballots must arrive by 8 p.m. on election day if they're to be counted.

Unidentified mailers with absentee ballot request forms appear in Goffstown [and] Kingston.  Voters in a handful of New Hampshire towns including Goffstown, Kingston and Seabrook have received mailers containing request forms for absentee ballots that appeared to be from their town clerks — but came from an unknown entity, possibly from outside New Hampshire.  "State law requires that a mailing such as this contain the identity of the entity mailing and distributing the form.  No such identification accompanies the attached mailer," a news release from the Attorney General's Office stated.  The mailers that appeared in Goffstown had no return address, but came in what looked like a hand-addressed envelope.  The postmark was from Kearny, N.J.  Inside were two absentee ballot request forms, and a yellow sticky note that read, "YOU ARE NEEDED please fill this out & mail it in."  The envelope also contained a stamped envelope addressed to Cathy Ball, Goffstown's town clerk.

Undelivered mail discovered in Virginia Beach dumpster, USPS investigating.  Police in Virginia Beach are investigating after undelivered mail was found in a dumpster Thursday afternoon [10/8/2020].  According to police, a citizen called in the report at 1:34 p.m. for the mail, which was found in the 3200 block of Colechester Road.  Witnesses said at least 80 pounds of mail were in the dumpster.  According to the United States Postal Service, no election ballots were in the mail, but some advertisement election mail was included.  Most of the mail was ad mail, the USPS said.

Voter Ballots, Discarded Mail Found In Twentynine Palms, Joshua Tree.  Discarded mail, including voter ballots, were discovered Wednesday in Twentynine Palms and Joshua Tree, according to San Bernardino County sheriff's officials.  A citizen told San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies with the Morongo Basin Station that they found the discarded incoming mail, including voter ballots, in the 6500 block of Winters Road in Joshua Tree.  More discarded mail was found in the 6500 block of Encelia Avenue in neighboring Twentynine Palms.

Feds investigating discarded mail-in ballots cast for Trump in Pennsylvania.  The Justice Department and FBI are investigating potential mail-in ballot irregularities in Pennsylvania, a crucial swing state for the 2020 presidential election.  On Thursday [9/24/2020], the Justice Department said it discovered ballots cast for President Trump in Luzerne County were discarded.  Mr. Trump won the northern Pennsylvania county in 2016, despite it being a Democratic stronghold that voted for Democratic presidential candidates for several decades.

SBCSD: Citizen finds stolen mail, including ballots, discarded in the High Desert.  The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department revealed that a citizen found stolen mail, including voter ballots, that was discarded in Joshua Tree and Twentynine Palms Wednesday morning.  According to the Sheriff's Department, all the recovered mail was found to have been stolen from a cluster of mailboxes within the 56200 block of Reche Road in Landers.

Probe into 'discarded' mail-in military ballots becomes campaign outrage fuel.  The news release from a U.S. attorney in Pennsylvania was provocative:  Nine mailed-in military ballots had been "discarded" by the local election office in a swing county of one of the most important presidential battleground states.  All of them were marked for President Donald Trump, it said.  Then came another news release with key details changed — the presidential choice was unknown on two of the ballots because they had been resealed — but still little explanation of what had happened and whether investigators believed a criminal act had occurred.

Vote counting for the presidential race begins!  Maryland becomes first state to start tallying mail-in ballots.  Canvassers in Maryland became the first in the country to begin processing the droves of mail-in ballots that have arrived across the state, working in bipartisan pairs to get them counted.  Ballot canvas for mail-in and absentee ballots began on October 1 in the state, the earliest in the United States.  Each ballot will go through a five-step process before they are open and tabulated.  The extensive process is aimed at avoiding fraud.

Massachusetts Will Now Count Dead People Who Vote For This Upcoming Election.  Massachusetts Secretary of State Bill Galvin said Monday that if someone votes early in the November election but dies before Election Day, their vote will be counted.  That's a change from earlier voting rules that became necessary because of the coronavirus pandemic.  In the past, if you voted early, died and elections officials discovered you were dead before Election Day, your vote would not be counted.  [Video clip]

North Texas mayoral candidate accused of mail ballot fraud in upcoming election.  A Carrollton mayoral candidate was in custody Thursday after being arrested on charges of mail ballot fraud, according to the Texas Attorney General's Office.  Zul Mirza Mohamed, 39, was taken into custody on Wednesday [10/7/2020] and he remained in the Denton County Jail on Thursday.  A bond has not been set for the Carrollton resident.  Carrollton is about 40 miles northeast of Fort Worth.  Mohamed faces 84 counts of mail ballot application fraud and 25 counts of unlawful possession of an official mail ballot, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a Thursday news release.  All 109 counts are felony charges, according to county officials.

Carrollton Mayoral Candidate Arrested, Charged With 84 Counts of Mail Ballot Application Fraud.  Zul Mirza Mohamed, a candidate in the City of Carrollton mayoral race, has been arrested and charged with 84 counts of mail ballot application fraud.  Mohamed also faces 25 counts of unlawful possession of an official mail ballot.  Officials with the Texas Attorney General[']s Office and the Denton County Sheriffs office worked together to make the arrest.

Massachusetts changes rules to count DEAD people's votes this year, if they voted before they died.  New voting rules in Massachusetts will now allow ballots cast before Election Day to be counted even if the voter has died.  The state legislature has changed earlier voting rules due to the coronavirus pandemic and will now allow the inclusion of votes by anyone who died after casting an early ballot.  Any concerns about the temporary law and its impact on the total voting numbers were downplayed by Massachusetts Secretary of State Bill Galvin as "not a significant number of ballots."

If you do not expect to live beyond Election Day, you should not vote.

Republicans call for probe of video showing unlocked ballot box in Michigan.  Republicans in Michigan are asking the state attorney general to probe a video showing an unlocked ballot box in the state.  Video shows an election box in Lansing, Mich., with the filmer pulling open the back of the election box to find a single piece of election mail inside.  Lansing City Clerk Chris Swope originally said the video, shared by the GOP, was taken before his office mailed any ballots to voters.  He later said the video was taken before anyone from his office had come to double-check and secure the drop boxes and before anyone received a ballot by mail.  After calling the video released by the Michigan Republican Party "disingenuous," the clerk said the same box is now out of order.

USPS Worker in NJ Arrested for Allegedly Dumping Mail, Including Election Ballots.  A U.S. Postal Service mail carrier from Hudson County, New Jersey, was arrested for discarding mail, including 99 general election ballots sent from the County Board of Elections that were intended to be delivered to West Orange residents, U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito announced.  Nicholas Beauchene, 26, of Kearny, is charged by complaint with one count of delay, secretion, or detention of mail and one count of obstruction of mail.  The delay of mail charge is punishable by a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.  The obstruction of mail charge is punishable by a maximum penalty of six months in prison and a $5,000 fine.

Thousands of NJ voters receive incorrect ballots.  Thousands of New Jersey voters received wrong ballots in the mail.  Nearly 7,000 Teaneck, New Jersey, residents were sent the wrong ballots on Monday, leaving some confused and angered as city officials attempted to remedy the issue, according to NorthJersey.com.  Bergen County Clerk John Hogan said the company that prints them made the error of incorrect congressional districts.  Voters who are affected will get new ones in a few days so they'll have two ballots.  The state has had several issues, including allegations of voter fraud in Patterson in May and the rejection of 40,000 ballots for various reasons in the July primary.

More Mail-In Voting Trouble in New Jersey, as Mailman Arrested for Throwing out Mail.  As the time is ticking down to the election, we keep hearing more and more questionable stories about problems with mail-in voting.  We've already heard about horror stories including the mail, including ballots found in a ditch, and over 100,000 people in New York getting the wrong ballot envelopes with different names on them.  But New Jersey, which had fraud and mail-in problems in the 2020 primary, just had a report now of another problem related to the general election.  According to the NY Post, a postal service worker just got busted for throwing out mail into dumpsters on October 2 and October 5 in Bergen County, NJ.

Tulsi Gabbard Makes AOC and Ilhan Omar Go Silent After They Attack Her for Helping Expose Voter Fraud.  Hawaii Democrat Tulsi Gabbard might have been the last of the Democrats who had any sense of propriety and integrity, and while many would disagree with her politics, her ability to understand right and wrong can't be overlooked.  For instance, as Democrats were doing their level best to ignore or make more excuses for the Project Veritas story that exposed the voter fraud helping Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's reelection, Gabbard was actually making statements denouncing the very obvious and provable fraud that was taking place right there, on video, for the world to see.  Upon the video's release by Project Veritas, Gabbard released a statement that Project Veritas offered "further evidence" of a need to ban ballot harvesting.  She has been at the forefront of ballot harvesting prevention and is pushing legislation to make sure that elections are protected from it.  Sadly, Gabbard deleted this tweet, seemingly after massive blowback from her base.

'True the Vote' Requests Supreme Court to Consider Its Montana Mail-In Vote Lawsuit as Legal Standard for Country.  Catherine Engelbrecht is the Founder and President of True The Vote the nation's largest voters' rights group.  The organization for over ten years now has been on the front lines of election fraud prevention by building action-oriented election integrity movements in key states, counties, and precincts. 'True the Vote' does not advocate for particular parties or candidates only for fair elections at all levels.  Our dearest right as an American citizen — our right to cast one vote per citizen — is under assault by the Marxist left.  In September True the Vote filed a lawsuit against Montana Democrat Governor Steve Bullock and his order that mail ballots not be sent out on October 9 as currently planned.

Massachusetts will literally count the votes of the dead.  We've all heard plenty of jokes (and true stories, for that matter) of the dead voting in US elections, particularly in the Chicago area.  But this year, at least in Massachusetts, some dead people may actually have their votes counted thanks to the state legislature and the Secretary of State.  That doesn't mean that we should expect to see zombies dropping off ballots at polling stations, however.  The new rule in question was put in place, as with everything else these days, because of the pandemic.  Anyone who casts an early ballot — a process that's already underway in the Bay State — and then passes away prior to November 3rd will still have their votes counted.

Is The Left Preparing To Steal Your Vote?  Growing signs that the anti-Trump left in the Democratic Party is gearing up to make this one of the most fraudulent elections in our nation's history bear close watching.  Illegitimate votes should never be allowed to sway a presidential election, especially true for one whose outcome might well decide the future of our republic.  With the clock ticking down to Election Day, it was heartening to see that the Supreme Court on Monday [10/5/2020] stepped in to stop questionable changes made to South Carolina's absentee-voting laws mere weeks before the election.  Such on-the-fly tinkering by state or local election officials or judges can only lead to confusion and canceled votes.  Which might well be the intent.  But with COVID-19 serving as a rationale for Blue States moving to vote-by-mail, the possibility for massive voter fraud around the nation has become very real.

Oops!  What an unfortunate error!  Better luck in 2024.
L.A. County:  Over 2,000 mail-in ballots sent without the option to vote for president.  Nearly 2,100 mail-in ballots were sent to voters in Los Angeles without the option to vote for the next president of the United States, according to the Los Angeles Times.  Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk's office declared them "faulty ballots," the report noted.  "While this has impacted a very small number of Los Angeles County voters ... we nevertheless apologize to those affected by the mistake," said Michael Sanchez, a spokesman for the county clerk's office, according to the LA Times.

The Editor says...
This tells you one thing about the Los Angeles County election officials:  Nobody checks the ballots before they are sent out.  Or worse, they knew there was an omission and thought nobody would notice.  Or worse still, they hate President Trump so much that they were willing to interfere in the election.  In any case, I can confidently predict the number of county officials who will lose their jobs as a result of this:  Zero.

Florida Man Arrested For Requesting Absentee Ballot For His Dead Wife.  A Florida man has been arrested and charged after requesting an absentee ballot for his wife, who has been dead for two years.  When interviewed by authorities, the man confessed, saying he was trying to "test the system" by making the request.  Larry Wiggins, 62, a registered Democrats [sic], was interviewed by police after getting a notification from Manatee County Supervisor of Elections Mike Bennett that someone had made a suspicious request, the Sarasota Herald-Tribune reported.

Supreme Court restores witness signature requirement for absentee ballots in win for GOP.  The Supreme Court reinstated a requirement that South Carolina voters need a witness to sign their absentee ballots before they vote by mail.  The Monday [10/5/2020] move by the high court reversed most of a lower-court decision that had ruled that requiring a witness to sign absentee ballots created an undue burden for voters in the Palmetto State, according to the Hill.  The order does not apply to ballots already mailed in or that will be cast within the next two days.  "For many years, this Court has repeatedly emphasized that federal courts ordinarily should not alter state election rules in the period close to an election," said Trump-appointee Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

USPS collection boxes broken into in multiple Virginia counties, sparking fears of missing ballots.  Virginia election officials have issued an alert to voters who submitted mail-in ballots at United States Postal Service outdoor mail collection boxes after officials discovered six receptacles spanning multiple counties in the central part of the state were broken into in recent days.  The Virginia Department of Elections sent out a news release Monday [10/5/2020] warning that "six outdoor mail collection boxes were broken into sometime between Saturday afternoon and this morning."  WWBT-TV reported that "several post offices" called law enforcement to report that the door latches on the busted mail boxes had been "pried open with a tool or force."

Supreme Court Strikes Down Rewrite of State Election Law by District Court Judge.  Late Monday afternoon [10/5/2020] the Supreme Court issued a "Stay" with regard to an order from a South Carolina federal district court judge who rewrote a provision of South Carolina election law due to the impact of COVID 19.  Judge Julianna Michelle Childs, an appointee of President Obama, granted an injunction for Plaintiffs preventing the South Carolina election officials from enforcing a provision of South Carolina election law requiring a witness signature on an absentee ballot envelope.

Proving a Negative and Vetting Mail-in Ballots.  [Scroll down]  Voting by mail is a type of remote voting.  The problems with remote voting should be obvious.  For one thing, with remote voting, it becomes far easier for one to sell one's vote, which is a crime.  Also, one can be coerced to vote for a candidate not of one's choosing, also a crime.  And remote voting leaves an election especially vulnerable to ballot box-stuffing.  For these and several other reasons, this writer suggests that we restart the federal election and require voters to come to the polls to vote.  There's simply too much about mail-in voting that is fraudulent or criminal.

When Citizens Must Move Mountains to Vote in Person.  To combat the fraud risks associated with mail-in voting, politicians are asking us to vote in person on November 3.  But that's a tall order in New Jersey.  Those who are disabled, blind, or illiterate can vote in person and at a limited number of polling places.  As for the rest of us, if we show up at one of the designated polling places on Election Day 2020, it likely will not be our usual polling place, and we'll be given a paper provisional ballot that could take weeks to verify.  In tech-savvy 2020, where we've been voting by machine for the entirety of my voting lifetime, in-person voting is effectively verboten for those of us who are not disabled.

Vote Fraud Reminds Us Why We Need the Electoral College.  James O'Keefe and his Project Veritas have stirred the pot with a new video report on voter fraud.  The headline in Breitbart News read, "Project Veritas Exposes Ilhan Omar Allies in Alleged Ballot Harvesting in Minnesota." [...] What's notable about this alleged vote fraud is that it took place in a Democratic primary — that is, in the August 11 Democratic primary election in the fifth Congressional district of Minnesota.  The House seat there is currently held by Rep. Ilhan Omar; in the just-completed primary, Omar defeated challenger Antone Melton-Meaux by some 19 points, or more than 35,000 votes.  And it was those votes that were the topic of O'Keefe's exposé.  The video shows Liban Mohammed, identified as an Omar campaign operative, bragging about collecting hundreds of ballots.

Was it voter fraud or a case of "testing the system?".  One Florida Democrat came up with a clever way to pay homage to his deceased wife during the upcoming election.  When ordering a mail-in ballot for himself, he decided to request one for her as well.  The request was honored and he filled them both out and mailed them in.  Unfortunately for 62-year-old Larry Wiggins, the discrepancy was noticed when the ballots arrived at the office of the Supervisor of Elections.  Wiggins was investigated and arrested.  The excuse he offered was a novel one, however.  He wasn't trying to commit election fraud.  He was just "testing the system."

At Least 1,000 Voters in Virginia Receive 'Duplicate Absentee Ballots' for 2020 Election.  More than one thousand registered voters in Virginia received "duplicate absentee ballots" in the mail this week; raising even more questions over potential fraud just weeks before Election Day.  "Officials in Fairfax County, the state's largest jurisdiction, said a printing problem with absentee-ballot address labels led election workers to inadvertently mail out extra ballots to as many as 1,000 county voters," reports the Washington Post.

Bloomberg's Florida vote-buying scheme:  Electing Joe Biden is not an end that justifies dubious means.  "By any means necessary" is a battle cry of the far left, coined by a Marxist philosopher on the Caribbean island of Martinique in 1960.  Fast-forward six decades, and the far left in the U.S. has embraced that end-justifies-the-means credo with monomaniacal gusto in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election.  How other than "by any means necessary" can you characterize billionaire plutocrat Michael Bloomberg's plan to shovel — or bulldoze — a staggering $100 million of his own money into a crucial swing state, Florida, in the final weeks of the campaign to drag an enfeebled Democratic presidential nominee, Joe Biden, over the finish line?

Is Mass Mail-in Voting About to Backfire on Democrats?  When the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic came to America earlier this year, Democrats rushed to score political points and demanded elections be conducted through the mail instead of in person.  They did this thinking it would be politically advantageous and productive in bolstering victory for their candidates.  When President Trump pointed out problems unprepared systems would have with an onslaught of untested, mass mail-in voting, Democrats doubled down in an effort to prove him wrong.  The tech censors at Twitter slapped President Trump's tweets about potential issues and warnings of fraud or incompetence with warning signs for "misinformation."  Cable news anchors and White House reporters assured Americans the system would work.  [Paywall]

After Philadelphia sees voting machine controls stolen, reporter finds lax security at warehouse.  A Philadelphia reporter said he walked right into an elections warehouse Thursday, a day after reports that someone had stolen USB drives used to program the city's voting machines from the same facility.  There were no security guards at the door or surveillance cameras visible, according to Max Marin, an investigative journalist at WHYY's Billy Penn news site, who shared video and photographs from his adventure to Twitter Thursday afternoon.  "I'm here in this warehouse where all of the voting machines are stored," he says in a minute-long video as he pans his cellphone camera over the machines.  "I just walked in that door, I've been announcing my name, trying to see if anyone was here.  Quite easily could take any number of things with this level of access."  [Video clip]

USB drives used to program Philadelphia voting machines have been stolen from city warehouse.  Memory sticks that are used to program Philadelphia voting machines have been stolen along with a worker's laptop, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.  The outlet reported that assurances have been made that the thefts from a city warehouse will not impair the integrity of the elections.  "We are confident that this incident will not in any way compromise the integrity of the election," said Nick Custodio, who serves as a deputy to the chair of the city commissioners.  Custodio noted that the stolen laptop was remotely disabled after the crime had been uncovered.  The missing device "did not have any of our election material on it," he reportedly said.

Bush v. Gore Redux?  Acting on a September 17 petition filed by the Pennsylvania Democratic Party, the four Democrats on the state's seven-member high court rewrote a significant portion of the state's election law, extending the statutory deadlines for postmarked ballots.  The majority did so despite acknowledging that "there is no ambiguity regarding the deadline set by the General Assembly."  Instead, the Court decided that it should be "construed liberally."  The Pennsylvania ruling is just the first pebble of what promises to be an avalanche of similar cases.  Courts have already issued similar injunctions against enforcing mail-ballot deadlines in two other 2020 battleground states, Michigan and Wisconsin.  These court decisions would not be so troubling if they were outside the mainstream of the conventional liberal approach to reading the plain language of statutes.  Unfortunately, they are representative.

Who's Funding Shady Ballot Harvesting Schemes?  Last week, while on a business trip in Wisconsin, I learned about an insane ballot harvesting scheme that appears to be tied to a deep-pocketed liberal advocacy group subsidized by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, Google, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and eBay former chairman Pierre Omidyar's Democracy Fund. [...] The poll workers stuffed ballots into "red zipper bags with no security whatsoever.  The poll workers witnessed people's (blank) ballots, just like you would if you did an in-person absentee ballot, threw them in the red zipper bags, and we don't know what's become of these ballots since," [Vicki] McKenna told me.  Imagine sheaves of ballots carelessly stuffed into cheap, canvas, pizza delivery-style totes.  Then imagine them being carted away by unknown drivers to unknown locations for unknown reasons.  Observers captured photos of several stuffed red bags being loaded into an unmarked white van parked outside Madison's municipal government building.  "It's clear from legal analysis:  this is not legal and does not comport with Wisconsin election law," McKenna argues.  "There's some serious questions about (Democratic) campaign coordination with the city of Madison."

Here's what President Trump was referring to when he said fraud has been 'established' with mail-in voting.  President Donald Trump said during Tuesday night's first presidential debate that fraud has already been "established" as a risk with mail-in voting, citing a recent race between two Democrats.  As the debate began to wrap up, Trump pushed back on Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden's claim that "no one has established at all that there is fraud related to mail-in ballots.  That somehow it's a fraudulent process."  "It's already been established," the president replied.  "Take a look at Carolyn Maloney's race," Trump suggested to moderator Chris Wallace.  "Look at Carolyn Maloney.  They have no idea what happened." [...] What President Trump was referring to was a June primary race between incumbent Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) and her challenger, fellow Democrat Suraj Patel.  Patel did not concede for more than two months, because, according to India West, the "results were delayed and contested due to problems counting absentee ballots."

This Week in Democrat Voting Fraud for September 29, 2020.  A whole bunch of voting fraud stories, of various sizes, have popped up this week, two in Texas alone.

Private eyes believably attest to Democratic voting fraud in Texas.  Fresh on the heels of Monday's [9/28/2020] report detailing alleged illegal vote harvesting in Minnesota, comes news of explosive affidavits filed about even worse vote harvesting in Texas.  Combined with new reports about significant illegal voter registration, also in Texas, and another huge foul-up in a postal voting system in New York, these stories all highlight some of the dangers to democracy posed by widespread use of voting by mail and other insecure practices.  They join other stories of huge voting screw-ups in recent months, ranging from the 223,000 undeliverable ballots mailed out in this year's primary election in Las Vegas, to the judicial race in Atlanta that may need to be voided because of double-voting and other irregularities.  Meanwhile, liberal judges across the country are risking tremendous confusion and fraud by unilaterally rewriting state laws in order to force the counting of ballots that arrive after Election Day.

Trump, Taxes, and Idiots.  I had published on these pages on September 11 my prediction that we now will get a weekly, even daily, drip-drip-drip of non-stop anti-Trump garbage between now and Election Day.  No, I am not a prophet in the manner of Isaiah or Jeremiah, just a disgusted viewer of the American scene.  I know our leftist media.  They did it four years ago with the excerpts of the Trump trailer talk about women, and they will do it now.  They have been saving this stuff up for several years, waiting to dump it all on us as the election nears.  One day it is a defamation and hoax that Trump bad-mouthed veterans.  Another day, as I predicted, they leaked that he had bad-mouthed Jews.  One day that he has some bogus medical condition.  Another day that he did not pay taxes.  This will not stop until December, because only an ignoramus believes that Election Day will end on November 3.  People will be filling out and finding ballots all November, and they will be counting them and recounting them for the next four years.

Election Integrity Group Sues Harris County Over Noncitizens on Voter Rolls.  An election integrity group is suing Texas' most populous county to clean up its act after obtaining public records that show election officials are adding potentially ineligible people to local voter rolls — including applicants who state they are not U.S. citizens.  Public Interest Legal Foundation, an election integrity law firm that specializes in fighting to enforce voter list maintenance laws, filed a petition in state court Monday to compel Harris County Voter Registrar Ann Bennett to follow Texas election laws and reject insufficient voter applications.  Records obtained by PILF after a two-year legal fight show Harris County has been adding applicants to the county's voter registration list who failed to answer the citizenship question — and worse, those who answered "No" to the question "Are you a United States citizen?" — even though Texas law requires voter registrars to reject those applications.

Tulsi Gabbard Demands Ban on Ballot Harvesting After Watching Bombshell Project Veritas Video.  On Monday evening [9/28/2020], Democratic Representative Tulsi Gabbard commented on the bombshell undercover video released by Project Veritas, which allegedly showed a ballot harvesting scheme in Minneapolis connected to Rep. Ilhan Omar.  Gabbard said that this incident was "further evidence of the need to ban ballot harvesting" in elections to protect "our sacred right to vote."

Affidavits Allege Democrat Officials Planning Colossal Illegal Ballot Harvesting Scheme.  New affidavits filed in the Texas Supreme Court allege a massive illegal mail-ballot harvesting scheme is underway in Texas' most populous county, and "elite" Democrat officials are leading the effort.  Harris County has received attention over the past several weeks for its proposed plan to send mail-in ballot applications to all 2.37 million voters in the county regardless of eligibility, thereby inviting fraud and abuse into the process.  New testimony suggests that may only be the tip of the iceberg.  As part of a new lawsuit filed in the Texas Supreme Court against Harris County Democrat County Clerk Chris Hollins by the Harris County Republican Party, Dr. Steve Hotze, Wendell Champion, Sharon Hemphill, and Al Hartman, two affidavits claim a massive illegal ballot harvesting operation is being prepared for the county.

NYC Board of Elections Goofed Up the Mail-In Ballots and Now Invalidation Rates are Through the Roof.  They told us mail-in voting would be safe, easy, and accurate, yet in New York City, errors have popped up left and right that has made voting by mail anything but.  According to NBC New York, ballots went out in envelopes addressed to various homes who opened them only to find someone else's name on the ballots.  One man, in particular, noted the mistake and is now ditching the idea of voting by mail completely in order to do what should have been done from the get-go; vote in person.

Are Democrat judges foolishly expanding mail-in voting rules in their states?  For months, Democrats have been planning to win the election through mail-in voting.  This is because mail-in voting easily allows fraud.  Democrat judges have done what they can to help by riding roughshod over state voting statutes to increase opportunities to mail ballots after the election.  Doug Ross, however, argues that, if you look at the Constitution, these judges may be encouraging their state's citizens to cast votes that cannot be counted in federal elections.  One of the most egregious examples of judges running amok came out of Pennsylvania. [...] In other words, after the polls close, if Trump has won (as I believe he will), Democrats can then figure out how many more votes they need to change the outcome and simply deliver the ballots without even bothering with the pretense of mailing.  In theory, that's how you win an election, every single time.  Lazy voters don't have to bother with polling places or deadlines.  They just wait until called upon to act.

New York City Sends Wrong Name Absentee Return Envelopes to Voters Across Brooklyn-Mistake Could Void Thousands of Votes.  The New York City Board of Elections is blaming a vendor for an egregious error on absentee ballots mailed to voters in Brooklyn that could cause their votes to be thrown out — even if they follow the rules to the letter.  The reason is that the absentee ballots were sent out with return envelopes that were mismatched and bear the names and addresses of other voters so that if the person signs the envelope with their own name it won't be counted as the signature would not match the name on the mistakenly sent return envelope.

Project Veritas Exposes Naked Corruption by Ilan Omar Supporters Paying Voters for Blank Ballots in Minneapolis.  As more details come to light regarding the undercover operation by Project Veritas, assisted by a Somali Community "whistleblower" in Minneapolis — Omar Jamal, a community activist — the entire country is given an up-close look at how a sophisticated operation can literally create thousands of fraudulent ballots in an unsecured and unregulated "vote-by-mail" free for all. [...] Democrat Party interest groups across the country have, for months, been demanding increased availability and use of mail-in ballots due to health concerns involving the COVID 19 pandemic.  There are a host of questions with respect to issues of security in dealing with a massive volume of mailed ballots, most of which, to this point, have focused on the secure and timely transmission and receipt of those ballots to local election officials by the US Postal Service, which has never been tasked to deliver millions and millions of mailed ballot envelopes on a specific day.  But what the PV investigation has revealed is that the "security" of such a process is inherently compromised long before the ballots enter the mailing system on the return trip to election officials.

Minneapolis police probing alleged ballot harvesting plot helping Rep. Omar.  A police investigation has been launched into the alleged ballot harvesting plot helping progressive "Squad" member Rep. Ilhan Omar.  "Allegations of voter fraud being evaluated," the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) announced on Twitter Monday [9/28/2020], hours after President Trump called for an investigation into the "misdeeds."  "The MPD is aware of the allegations of vote harvesting.  We are in the process of looking into the validity of those statements," the department said.  The force added that "no further information is available at this time," including whether the Democratic congresswoman would be involved in the initial investigation.

Did someone mention Ilhan Omar?

Follow-up: Project Veritas Shows Cash Exchanges for Voter Ballots Organized by Representative Ilhan Omar.  In part two of an explosive exposé, a Minnesota-based source tells Project Veritas that the mastermind behind the rampant voter fraud scheme is Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) herself and her extensive political machine.  "Nobody would say that Ilhan Omar isn't part of this," said Omar Jamal, a Somali community Insider and the Chairman of the Somali Watchdog group.  "Unless you're from a different planet, but if you live in this universe, I think everybody knows it."  Jamal said Ali Isse Gainey, a senior Ilhan Omar staffer, is at the center of the vote-buying scheme.

2000 Bush v.  Gore Lawyer Exposes the 'Underworld' That 'Trades on Ballots and Forgeries'.  In light of the Chinese coronavirus pandemic, Democrats have gone all-in on vote-by-mail schemes, ostensibly to protect people from the virus.  Yet this shift empowers nefarious criminals who subvert elections by buying and selling ballots and engaging in other forms of voter fraud.  Thomas Spencer, a lawyer in the Bush v. Gore (2000) case and vice president of the Lawyers Democracy Fund, warned about the existence of a criminal "underworld" that perpetrates voter fraud.  "There's an underworld out there that trades on ballots and forgeries," Spencer told PJ Media in an interview Monday.  "They prey on old folks or people in very poor communities.  It's a huge problem and it's one of those subterranean problems where it's very difficult to find who these people are."

Texas' largest county approving noncitizens' voter registrations, lawsuit claims.  Texas' largest county has been approving voter registrations even when people say they're not citizens, according to a lawsuit announced Monday that found some of those people managed to cast ballots, too.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation says it uncovered dozens of examples of people who registered in Harris County over the last two decades, either admitted they weren't citizens or left the box blank, yet were registered anyway.  They were removed from the rolls after they later stated, again, that they weren't, in fact, citizens.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation says there are others it didn't catch, including new applicants.

Note to east coast journalists:  Brewster County is the largest county in Texas.  (It's bigger than Connecticut.)  Harris County is the most populous county in Texas.

Biden's Texas Political Director Implicated in Massive Mail-In Ballot Harvesting Scheme in Harris County.  A Biden Campaign operative in Texas is attempting to rig the 2020 election with the help of others in a massive ballot harvesting scheme, according to two private investigators who testified under oath that they have "video evidence, documentation and witnesses" to prove it.  With the help of mass mail-in ballots, the illegal ballot harvesting operation could harvest 700,000 ballots, one Harris County Democrat operative allegedly bragged.  The investigators — a former FBI agent and former police officer — claim that Biden's Texas Political Director Dallas Jones and his cohorts have been "hoarding mail-in and absentee ballots" and ordering operatives to them fill out for people in Harris County illegally, "including dead people, homeless people, and nursing home residents in the 2020 presidential election," Patrick Howley of the National File reported.

Virginia counties see multiple absentee ballots sent to more than 1,000 voters.  More than 1,000 Virginia voters who applied for absentee ballots have received an extra one in the mail, state Republican Party officials said Friday [10/23/2020].  The mix-up comes shortly after a Democratic push to expand absentee voting in a bid to reduce the spread of the coronavirus.  As a result, absentee ballots no longer require an excuse, and any registered voter is allowed to request one.

Why It's Common Sense That Universal Mail-In Ballots Are A Terrible Idea.  With the upcoming presidential election, the left is increasingly dispensing with logic and common sense as they push for universal mail-in ballots.  It doesn't take much to see what a disaster this election would become under such an approach.  As Attorney General Bill Barr rightly responded when asked if he had evidence that a mail-in ballot election could be rigged, "No, but I have common sense."  The same logical fallacies that plagued the ridiculous 2+2=4 controversy are now repeated ad nauseam to convince Americans they should adopt universal mail-in ballots to ensure a fair and safe election.  In states such as California and Nevada, residents have received mail-in ballots automatically.

Sen. Rick Scott introduces bill requiring mail-in ballots be counted within 24 hours of Election Day.  Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., introduced legislation last week to establish federal standards regarding the counting of ballots, ahead of the upcoming presidential election between Democratic nominee Joe Biden and President Trump.  The Verifiable, Orderly, & Timely Election Results (VOTER) Act would create standards for various vote-by-mail systems that exist across the country and would require all eligible ballots to be counted and reported within 24 hours after polls close on Election Day, according to a press release from Scott's office.  If the bill became law, it would require voting precincts to report the total number of in-person and mail-in ballots they received — one hour after polls close — to identify "the total universe of votes to be counted in the election."

Next Time Someone Tells You Non-Citizens Don't Vote in U.S. Elections, Tell Them About Christine Chernosky.  I have waited more than two years to write this piece.  During those 26 months, I have been waiting for one single news outlet to cover the case of Christine Chernosky, a Canadian citizen who voted in an American presidential election.  Remember the name:  Christine Chernosky.  Despite all of the news outlets that cover elections, including well-funded philanthropic projects such as Pro Publica, the American Prospect, and even the fey leftist law professor who fancies himself the oracle of all the latest election news, Rick Hasen — not one single news outlet mentioned Christine Chernosky, the alien who voted in the presidential election.

Cash-For-Ballots Voter Fraud Scheme Linked To Ilhan Omar Supporters, Says Project Veritas.  Project Veritas — the investigative journalism outfit led by conservative activist James O'Keefe — released a new video Sunday night, appearing to expose a massive ballot harvesting scheme, with those involved asserting their fealty to Rep. Ilhan Omar (D). [...] The investigation showed three locations inside Ward 6 — what they calls [sic] "a ballot harvesting triangle" — where the scheme operates: the Riverside Plaza apartments, the senior citizen community at Horn Towers and the Minneapolis Elections and Voter Services office at 980 E. Hennepin Ave., which they say functions as a voting location and ballot drop-off site.

Queens voters are wrongly receiving mail-in ballots marked for military use.  Voters in New York City have received mail-in ballots for the 2020 presidential election marked for military use despite never having served in the armed forces — causing confusion and concerns over whether the ballots can or should be used.  The misprint makes it appear that the voters received a "Official Military Absentee Ballot" instead of a "Military/Absentee Ballot," leaving several borough residents who received the documents — including two [New York] Post journalists — worried that their votes might not be properly tallied.  "I believe that's just the tip of the iceberg," said City Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer, referring to the constituents in his Sunnyside district who have reached out to him about receiving the ballots.  "It appears that everyone has gotten this particular ballot."

Trump is suing to challenge North Carolina election rule changes.  President Trump's campaign is suing in federal court to stop North Carolina election rule changes that has raised ballot integrity issues in the key battleground state.  "While touted as allowing greater access to voters during the current pandemic — an objective already addressed in recent months by the General Assembly — the actual effect is to undermine protections that help ensure the upcoming election will be not only safe and accessible but secure, fair, and credible," the lawsuit filed Saturday by the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee alleged.  The State Elections Board issued new rules last Tuesday allowing mail-in absentee ballots with deficient information to be fixed without forcing the voter to fill out a new blank ballot for November's election.  Trump and the RNC claims the changes violate state law.

Project Veritas Exposes Ballot Harvesting Scheme With Alleged Ties to Ilhan Omar.  A new investigative report was put out by Project Veritas on Sunday exposing what appears to be a ballot harvesting scheme in Minnesota perpetrated by a group with alleged ties to Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN).  The video includes footage of a ballot harvester, Liban Mohamed, speaking in both English and Somali as he drives around collecting ballots from senior citizens.  According to Omar Jamal, chair of the Somali Watchdog Group, people like Liban Mohamed are paid to collect absentee ballots from senior citizens and the immigrant community.  Jamal outlines a ballot harvesting scheme conducted on behalf of Minnesota's Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, in which Rep. Omar has become a major power broker.  One source in the report linked Ilhan Omar's campaign manager, Ali Isse Gainey, to the harvesting scheme.  "It's an open secret," Jamal said.  "She [Omar] will do anything that she can do to get elected and she has hundreds of people on the streets doing that."

Flashback: Congressional Candidate Laura Loomer Uncovered Minneapolis Ballot Harvesting Scheme in 2018.  Last night, James O'Keefe of Project Veritas released a bombshell video indicating that Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) may be leading an illicit ballot harvesting scheme intended to influence the results of the upcoming elections in November. [...] The report from O'Keefe echoes the work of investigative journalist turned Congressional candidate, Laura Loomer.  Loomer used to work for Project Veritas before she would go on to become the most banned journalist in history, with Big Tech conspiring to remove her from their monopoly platforms.  City Pages covered Loomer's investigative work in the most snarky way imaginable at the time, laughing off all concerns about ballot harvesting by Democrats in Minneapolis.  "Many people telling me they saw Somalis being bussed in to vote in Minneapolis," Loomer wrote in a tweet that has since been wiped from the internet.  "I'm investigating."  The fake news media made light of her concerns.

New Project Veritas Video:  Voter Fraud in Ilhan Omar's District.  A concerted effort is being made to use the coronavirus as an excuse to transform how we vote in elections by shifting to mail-in or absentee ballots.  We are told that democracy will be improved if we allow ballots to be handled outside the scrutiny of election officials — and that there is almost no voter fraud, so what's to worry about?  Common sense and election observers argue against any sudden shift.  "Absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud," concluded the bipartisan Commission on Federal Election Reform, co-chaired by former President Jimmy Carter.  Allowing such ballots "increases the risks of fraud and of contested elections."  In 2012, a grand jury in Miami-Dade County warned about the risks of absentee voting:  "Once that ballot is out of the hands of the elector, we have no idea what happens to it.  The possibilities are numerous and scary."

Democrats say Judge Barrett should recuse herself in election disputes.  Senate Judiciary Democrats are demanding Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett pledge to recuse herself from any election challenge, saying she would side with President Trump.  Sen. Cory A. Booker, a member of the Judiciary Committee that will hold the confirmation hearings, said he will press her about recusal when they meet one-on-one before the hearings.  "I'm going to make it very clear.  One of the things I want to ask her is will she recuse herself in terms of any election issues that come before us because if she does not recuse herself, I fear that the court will be further delegitimized," Mr. Booker, New Jersey Democrat, said on NBC's "Meet the Press."

What does that tell you?  The Democrats plan to contest the election and take it to the Supreme Court.

Wisconsin judge halts six-day extension for counting absentee ballots after the election.  A federal appeals court on Sunday [9/27/2020] temporarily halted a six-day extension for counting absentee ballots in Wisconsin's presidential election, a momentary victory for Republicans and President Donald Trump in the key presidential battleground state.

Project Veritas uncovers 'ballot harvesting fraud' in Minnesota.  A ballot-harvesting racket in Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar's Minneapolis district — where paid workers illegally gather absentee ballots from elderly Somali immigrants — appears to have been busted by undercover news organization Project Veritas.  One alleged ballot harvester, Liban Mohamed, the brother of Minneapolis City Council member Jamal Osman, is shown in a bombshell Snapchat video rifling through piles of ballots strewn across his dashboard.  "Just today we got 300 for Jamal Osman," says Mohamed, aka KingLiban1, in the video.  "I have 300 ballots in my car right now ... "Numbers don't lie.  You can see my car is full.  All these here are absentee ballots. ... Look, all these are for Jamal Osman," he says, displaying the white envelopes.

Federal judge rules against voting-rights activists challenge of Ohio signature-matching rules on absentee ballot applications.  A federal judge has ruled Ohio's system of verifying signatures on absentee ballot applications is not burdensome enough to be struck down as illegal, rejecting arguments made by a coalition of voting-rights groups that sued the state.  U.S. District Judge Michael Watson wrote that while Ohio's signature-matching requirements impose a "moderate" burden on voters, they have other options to cast a ballot if their vote is improperly rejected, including casting a provisional ballot on Election Day.  He agreed with Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose that the state has a legitimate interest in promoting an orderly and secure election, justifying that burden.

Are Democrat House and Senate Candidates Trapped in a No-Win Situation?  As if Democrats weren't already fomenting enough chaos with their brownshirts — Antifa, BLM and the like — the Supreme Courts of several battleground states have decided to pile on.  In Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin, Democrat activists dressed in black robes have fundamentally rewritten state election laws.  Among their various revisions to these crucial laws:
  •   Mail-in ballots can be received up to seven (7) days after the election and still be counted
  •   These ballots can be missing postmarks and still be counted
  •   The signature on the ballot doesn't even have to match with that of the registered voter
  •   And, as a bonus, they have banned the Green Party from the ballot to prevent erosion of the Biden vote
All of these illegal proclamations directly contravene state law and are simply naked, partisan attempts to swing the election.  More importantly, they are in clear violation of the Constitution.

Voters' poorly marked ovals could lead to contested ballots.  Two decades ago, Florida's hanging chads became an unlikely symbol of a disputed presidential election.  This year, the issue could be poorly marked ovals or boxes.

Texas Democrat Official, 3 Others Indicted on 134 Felony Counts Involving Mail-In Ballot Fraud.  A Texas Democrat county commissioner was arrested Thursday on charges that he and three associates committed mail-in ballot fraud in a 2018 primary election.  Gregg County commissioner Shannon Brown — along with Marlena Jackson, Charlie Burns, and DeWayne Ward — was indicted by a grand jury, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced.  Brown won his March Democratic primary by a tally of 1,047 to 1,042.  He received a much greater share of his support from absentee ballots, according to the Texas Tribune.  Ballots for 38 voters, the report reads, accuse Brown and the others of "intentionally [causing] false information to be provided on an application for ballot by mail."

Nearly 1,000 duplicate ballots sent to voters in Virginia.  Election officials in Fairfax County, Virginia, estimate that up to 1,000 voters received an extra mail-in ballot.  Fairfax County Registrar Gary Scott said that some mailing labels on ballots were damaged and that the reprinting of the labels led to duplicate ballots being sent to voters.  "Before the supervisors caught it, the people applying the labels applied them to the entire sheet of labels rather than just pulling out the ones that should have been processed," Scott told NBC Washington, adding that the error would not increase voter fraud.  "Because every ballot that's returned, we make an entry into their voter record that they have returned a ballot.  So if something else shows up, the ballot has already been returned.  We can't count that ballot."

Election Fraud Becomes a Focus in the 2020 Election.  Election fraud stories are piling up on the newswires in rapid succession in 2020.  There are myriad ways to commit fraud and the COVID-19 epidemic has not made things better.  Just take a gander at the Heritage Action Voter Fraud Database and you will find as many kinds of election fraud as there are the people who commit them.  COVID has produced a vast increase in mail-in ballots.  In 2020, a recent NYTimes article cited that "if recent election trends hold and turnout increases, as experts predict, roughly 80 million mail ballots will flood election offices this fall, more than double the number that were returned in 2016."  It is no wonder AG Barr is so worried about voter confidence this November.

Older Voters Could Shape Election, But Fewer Volunteer at Polls.  When Americans cast their votes Nov. 3, things may look very different from what we have all grown used to.  However, despite all the upheaval of the past year, one thing will hold true:  voter turnout will play an absolutely critical role in determining not just the next president, but also who will claim dozens of statewide offices.  Unfortunately, one of the groups of voters, in particular, is at risk of being unable to vote safely in person this year.  Older voters traditionally have among the strongest turnout numbers on Election Day.  However, with the COVID-19 outbreak still looming, and research still indicating that older individuals are at a greater risk of being seriously affected by the virus, many are worried about being able to safely head to the polls.

I was asked to be a paid poll watcher, and turned down the invitation because [#1] Everybody working at the polls will be required to wear a face mask all day, and the day is 14 hours long.  Possibly also disposable gloves.  All because the Democrat tyrants on the County Commissioners Court have decreed that Covid-19 is a deadly disease that spreads easily, out to a maximum radius of six feet.  [#2] At the polling place where help is needed the most, I would be the only white guy in the building all day.  [#3] When the Black Panthers show up to stuff the ballot box, there's going to be trouble, and I don't want to answer questions weeks later about why I didn't stop them, or spend several years testifying about it.

Military Ballots Found in the Trash in Pennsylvania — All Were Trump Votes.  Mail-in ballots from the military serving overseas were found in the trash in Pennsylvania.  The ballots were discovered during an investigation into election issues in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania.  They were all votes for President Trump.  The U.S. Attorney's Office Middle District of Pennsylvania released a statement on the situation on Thursday: [...] While nine ballots have been recovered, it is not clear how many were actually discarded.  This announcement comes on the heels of a report that three trays of mail, including absentee ballots, were discovered in a ditch in Wisconsin.

What happened yesterday with those nine missing military ballots in Pennsylvania?  [Scroll down]  If I'm reading it correctly, election officials made a good-faith mistake:  They opened the envelopes believing that applications for ballots were inside, only to find completed ballots instead.  Because those ballots can't properly be counted until Election Day, they were therefore spoiled.  So the officials just ... threw them away.  If that's a chronic problem in Pennsylvania, with ballots being spoiled left and right because it's too hard to tell them apart from ballot applications, uh oh.  [U.S. Attorney David] Freed's letter is ambiguous but it sounds like what he's describing is a "naked ballot" snafu.  That is, instead of enclosing their ballot inside an inner "secrecy" envelope and then enclosing that in an outer envelope with identifying information, the nine troops involved may not have used the inner envelope.  They just stuck their ballots in the outer envelope and dropped them in the mail.  When election officials opened the outer envelope — oopsie.

DOJ Orders Pennsylvania County to Change Practices After Discarded Ballots Found.  The Department of Justice on Thursday ordered Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, to modify its practices after several military ballots were found discarded. [...] "Even though your staff has made some attempts to reconstitute certain of the improperly opened ballots, there is no guarantee that any of these votes will be counted in the general election," [U.S. attorney David] Freed wrote.  "In addition, our investigation has revealed that all or nearly all envelopes received in the elections office were opened as a matter of course."

Backfire: Dems Suddenly Pivoting to Promoting In Person Voting, the Reason Why Tells You Everything.  Democrats have been pushing mail in voting for months now.  Now of course many thought that was to do things like increase their ability to ballot harvest and/or "find" ballots to make up for any vote differences they might need to make up after the election.  But just like with embracing the BLM and not calling out the riots then finding later they had to pivot because Americans were blaming Democrats, they're now making another "emergency pivot," according to Axios.

Democrats Are Making a U-Turn on Mail-In Voting.  Democrats used COVID-19 as a pretext to try and change the way America votes.  In fact, mail-in voting, ballot harvesting, and other various and sundry election law changes were part of the reason Democrats refused to debate a narrow COVID relief bill.  Because Republicans wouldn't agree to give up every election security feature we have, you and your family couldn't get your unemployment benefits extended, schools lost money, and small business owners were left without assistance.  To block the bill, Democrats used the filibuster, which Barack Obama called a Jim Crow relic during the Democrat National Convention.  However, we will leave that blatant hypocrisy for another time.  It is becoming exceedingly clear that Democrats intend to use whatever tools they can to gain power and retain it.  Burning down our institutional norms and any semblance of consensus is their obvious goal.

Gregg County [TX] commissioner, 3 others arrested in alleged vote harvesting scheme.  A Gregg County commissioner along with three others have been arrested on charges in connection with an organized vote harvesting scheme during the 2018 Democratic primary election.  According to Attoney General Ken Paxton's office, Gregg County commissioner Shannon Brown, Marlena Jackson, Charlie Burns, and DeWayne Ward were arrested.  A press release said to increase the pool of ballots needed to swing the race in Brown's favor, the group targeted young, able-bodied voters to cast ballots by mail by fraudulently claiming the voters were "disabled," in most cases without the voters' knowledge or consent.  Under Texas election law, mail ballots based on disability are specifically reserved for those who are physically ill and cannot vote in-person as a result.

FBI finds 9 discarded Trump military mail-in ballots in PA — investigation ongoing.  The FBI and the Pennsylvania State Police, investigating reports of issues with mail-in ballots at the Luzerne County Board of Elections in Pennsylvania, have recovered a number of discarded military ballots.  In its initial statement, the U.S. Department of Justice on Thursday announced they found nine military ballots, all of which were case in support of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.  The DOJ later issued a revised statement, indicating that at least seven of the ballots were for Trump, but the remaining two were resealed inside their corresponding envelopes by Luzerne elections staff[.]

DOJ orders Pennsylvania county to change ballot practices after 'troubling' findings.  The Justice Department sent a letter to a Pennsylvania county on Thursday, ordering it to change its practices after multiple military ballots were found discarded.  The issue surfaced earlier in the day when the DOJ announced that it had recovered a small number of discarded ballots.  While the Justice Department would not say where they had found the ballots, they did say there were nine recovered — seven of which were cast for President Trump, while the other two were sealed by Luzerne County before the FBI recovered them[.]  In his letter to Luzerne County officials, U.S. attorney David Freed indicated that additional ballot materials were found in a dumpster.  Freed said their investigation yielded "troubling" findings, including that the county allegedly improperly opened ballots.

Michigan, national Republican parties sue to stop late ballot ruling.  The national and Michigan Republican parties filed suit Thursday against Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and Attorney General Dana Nessel in an effort to stop the counting of late ballots prohibited by law and changes to the rules governing ballot collection.  The complaint filed by the Republican National Committee — headed by Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel of Northville — and the Michigan Republican Party asks state Court of Claims Judge Cynthia Stephens to uphold the constitutionality of both laws.  Stephens ruled last week that ballots received after Nov. 3 but postmarked by Nov. 2 could be counted.

Congress needs to act now to make mail-in voting secure.  Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina and Wisconsin — four swing states that could decide who wins the presidency — have officially canceled Election Night.  Democrats in all four states won legal battles in the last week to allow ballots arriving days after Election Day to still be counted.  In Michigan, ballots can arrive two weeks late.  Two weeks — really?  These rule changes will throw the nation into limbo, even as politicians and the media are wringing their hands, warning of a constitutional crisis and street violence when Election Night fails to produce a winner.  This crisis doesn't have to occur.  Congress should act fast to establish a uniform deadline for requesting mail-in ballots to ensure voters in every state have time to return them before Election Day.  Not days late.  Congress should also require states to open and validate mail-in ballots as they're received, instead of waiting to tally mountains of unopened ballots on Election Day.

Military Mail-In Ballots Cast For Trump Discarded In Pennsylvania, Federal Investigation Finds.  Nine military mail-in ballots cast for President Donald Trump were discarded at a local Pennsylvania board of elections office, a federal investigation concluded.  The FBI and Pennsylvania State Police began an investigation Monday at the request of Luzerne County District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis, U.S. Attorney David Freed said in a statement.  Salavantis requested federal assistance following reports of issues with a small number of ballots at the Luzerne County Board of Elections.  "Investigators have recovered nine ballots at this time," Freed said in a statement Thursday.  "All nine ballots were cast for presidential candidate Donald Trump."

350K Dead Registrants, Ballots Counted 9 Days After Election Day:  What Is Going On?  With 350,000 dead registered voters across 42 states — including three critical swing states — to one state allowing ballots to be counted up to nine days after election day, what [...] is going on with America's presidential election process?  More importantly, what [...] is going on with the integrity of America's presidential election process?  With the election just 40 days away, the pitched battle between the Democrat Party and Donald Trump over the safety (integrity, security, validity; you pick) of mail-in voting, among other charges of voter fraud, continues to intensify.

In Michigan and Pennsylvania, the Democrats Plan to Cheat.  We would do well to not lose sight of all the cheating that the Left is planning to do with the aim of stealing the election.  They are not even being shy about their plans, just attempting to put a thin veneer of "legality" on all of it so as to make the poison go down a little smoother.  Take, for example, what took place recently in Michigan.  In a case regarding mail-in ballots and deadlines (supported by none other than Marc Elias of Perkins Coie/Fusion GPS infamy, and who, we should add, is working for the Biden campaign), Michigan Court of Claims Judge Cynthia Diane Stephens decided unilaterally and arbitrarily to turn Election Day into "Election Weeks."  That's right:  the "Honorable" Judge Stephens decided that any ballot postmarked by 5 p.m. on November 2 could be counted for up to two weeks after Election Day.  In essence, what she did was legislate from the bench that ballot harvesting in Michigan is now legal.

Wisconsin police investigating mail, absentee ballots found in ditch.  Authorities in Wisconsin are investigating why three trays of mail and absentee ballots were found in a ditch, Fox News is reporting.  "The United States Postal Inspection Service immediately began investigating and we reserve further comment on this matter until that is complete," USPS spokesman Bob Sheehan said in a statement, according to the report.

Making Mail-in Ballots 'Secure'.  Although more deeply at odds than at any time since the Civil War, both sides of our fractious nation's political divide seem to agree on this: the 2020 federal elections are the most consequential of our lifetimes.  Voters are being asked to decide nothing less than whether they want to "fundamentally change" America, or to keep America fundamentally American.  If the franchise is so very precious, if voting is a "sacred" right, then government must do everything it can to protect the integrity of our elections.  But government has been failing in that solemn duty.  Yes, the states spend a bunch of money and go through the motions on voter registration, but they never go to the heart of the matter when establishing the identity of each voter.

Trays of mail, including absentee ballots, found in a ditch in Wisconsin.  Police in Greenville, Wisconsin, found three trays of mail, including absentee ballots, in a ditch.  The Outagamie County Sheriff's Office discovered the trays in a ditch on Tuesday morning, near Appleton International Airport, according to WLUK.  The mail was returned to the U.S. Postal Service, and an investigation is underway.  "The United States Postal Inspection Service immediately began investigating, and we reserve further comment on this matter until that is complete," USPS spokesman Bob Sheehan told WLUK.  The U.S. Postal Inspection Service told the Washington Examiner that it is aware of the mail, including absentee ballots, found in a ditch and is investigating the incident.  The department declined to comment further.

Big Tech Prepares the Public for a Rigged Election.  "One of the things that I think we and other media need to start doing is preparing the American people that there's nothing illegitimate about this election taking additional days, or even weeks to make sure that all of the votes are counted."  Those were Mark Zuckerberg's words in a recent video with Axios on HBO.  Silicon Valley tech whizz kids aren't known for their social skills, so perhaps Zuckerberg revealed more than he meant to.  Nevertheless, the elites' plan for you, the American public, is now laid bare.  This is going to be the most rigged, manipulated election in history — and they are going to "prepare" you ahead of time.  They are going to make you think it's normal.

Wisconsin Ruling Allows Mail-in Ballots to Be Counted Without 'Definitive' Postmarks.  A ruling Monday [9/21/2020] by a federal judge in Wisconsin that would extend the counting of mail-in ballots six days beyond Election Day would also allow those ballots to be counted even if there is no "definitive" sign of a postmark.  U.S. District Judge William Conley of the Western District of Wisconsin — an appointee of President Barack Obama — ruled that absentee ballots in the state can be counted until Nov. 9 as long as they are postmarked by Election Day, Nov. 3.  He cited the state's difficult experience in the recent primary election, as well as projected difficulties with the U.S. Post Office as it handles an unprecedented number of mailed-in ballots.

Election Watchdog Finds 350,000 Dead Registrants on Voter Rolls In 42 States.  An election watchdog has found that there may be as many as 350,000 dead individuals on voter rolls across 42 states.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), an Indiana-based election integrity group, conducted a nationwide study to identify the hundreds of thousands of deceased individuals on voter rolls.  During its analysis, the group also found that nearly 40,000 likely duplicate registrants "appear to have cast second votes in 2018 from the same address."  Just five states — New York, Texas, Michigan, Florida, and California — accounted for 51 percent of the total number of deceased individuals on voter rolls, according to the group.  PILF further found that nearly 15,000 registrants were credited with voting after death in the 2016 and 2018 elections.

'Not a big deal': Noncitizens who voted illegally in 2016 still on voter rolls.  Juan Landeros-Mireles admitted in court last year that he registered to vote and even cast ballots in the 2016 election, though he has never been a U.S. citizen.  As the November election nears, he is still listed as an active voter in Wilson County, North Carolina.  Given his past, it's not likely he will try again, but his experience does strengthen an argument of voter integrity advocates:  Some local rolls haven't been cleansed of illegitimate voters, creating opportunities for fraudulent ballots to be cast.

Catherine Engelbrecht of True The Vote Outlines an Election Warning.  Catherine Engelbrecht is a subject matter expert on election issues and potential for fraud.  CTH anticipated the 2020 efforts of Democrats would include wide-scale voter fraud and back in May strongly suggested the Trump campaign begin working closely with True The Vote.  "True the Vote is out with a 30-minute documentary-style national media buy — and complimentary microsite https://truethevote2020.org — to raise awareness of the vast security gaps in election laws and processes all across the country, particularly as it relates to the expansion of vote by mail.  The program will air in front of a national audience ahead of Election Day to drive citizens to deter election fraud by personally engaging in the election process, whether it's through working at the polls, on committees that verify mail-in ballots, or other critical election needs."  [Video clip]

Do Democrats Really Believe Biden Is Winning?  Democrats are all in on stealing this election.  For them to succeed, they need to make people believe that Trump, when he wins, has stolen it first.  Americans do not have to allow this.  People need to organize and confront the Democrat-Antifa-BLM tough guys trying to suppress Republican voters at the polls and give Trump a resounding victory.  He must win the majority vote and the Electoral College by margins that make the election impossible for the left to steal and give the president a mandate to confront the rioters who will surely surge to violence and destruction to depose the president in the aftermath.  America is the greatest, most successful nation ever to have existed.  It is a republic, and only Americans can do what needs to be done to keep it.

Michigan Judge Extends Deadline 2 Weeks for Mail-In Ballots Postmarked by November 2.  Mail-in ballots postmarked by November 2 must be counted up to two weeks after the presidential election, a Michigan judge ruled this week.  The ruling also authorizes the temporary use of ballot harvesting.  Michigan Court of Claims Judge Cynthia Stephens essentially extended the deadline for mail-in ballots to be counted, even if they arrive after the polls close on Election Day, which stood as the previous deadline.  Stephens attributed her ruling to the impact of the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.

Joe Biden spent decades warning of voter fraud — now called a myth by Dems.  The Democratic Party line treats voter fraud as little more than a GOP fever dream — yet the party's presidential candidate Joe Biden spent decades of his career sounding the alarm about it.  Biden, the Democratic standard bearer, consistently shared GOP concerns about voter fraud during his 36 years as a United States senator from Delaware.  "Should Voters Be Allowed To Register On Election Day?  No," Biden wrote in an op-ed to a now-defunct Wilmington, Del. newspaper in 1977.  He even chided President Carter for proposing it.

Pennsylvania Supreme Court Allows Mail-in Ballots to Be Counted After Election Day Without Evidence of Postmark.  The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled Thursday that ballots received three days after Election Day will still be counted — even if there is no evidence they were postmarked on time.  Democrats scored two judicial victories in Pennsylvania on Thursday, when the court kicked the Green Party presidential candidate off the ballot, and ruled that mailed-in ballots could still be counted util 5:00 p.m. ET on the third day after Election Day, as long as they were postmarked by 8:00 p.m ET that day.

Democrat Rep. Tulsi Gabbard and GOP Rep. Rodney Davis Introduce Election Fraud Prevention Act to Ban Ballot Harvesting.  The one last honest Democrat Rep. Tulsi Gabbard along with GOP Rep. Rodney Davis introduced the Election Fraud Prevention Act on Friday [9/18/2020].  The bill will outlaw the criminal act of ballot harvesting a tactic pushed by Democrat officials this year in states around the country.  Ballot harvesting allows criminal political operatives to turn in late ballots of citizens who have not voted.  This is a serious violation of the voting process.  Of course, Democrats are for this.  In 2018 Democrats stole several Congressional seats in California using ballot harvesting.

California Wants Me to Vote, Even Though I Haven't Lived There for Over 8 Years.  States across the country are experimenting with a mass switch to mail-in elections in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.  But is it wise for states to make such a big change, especially in light of messy voter rolls around the country?  What I was sent earlier this month by election officials in Alameda County, California, makes me worried that ballots going to the wrong locations will be a significant concern this year.  The Alameda County Registrar of Voters notified me by mail at my parents' address in Oakland that I would receive a ballot when the state sends them out Oct. 5.  This is following Gov. Gavin Newsom's executive order that all California voters receive a mail-in ballot before the Nov. 3 election.

Voter Fraud.  [Thread reader] This thread is a massive compilation of sources pertaining to voter fraud.  These links cover both sides of the aisle.  As well as mail-in, absentee, and in person voter fraud.  Next time someone tells you it doesnt exist, drop this thread to them.

349,000 dead people on voter rolls in 41 states.  A new independent, nationwide analysis of voter rolls in 42 states found more than 349,000 dead people still on the rolls and tens of thousands more voters with duplicate registrations.  The findings come from the Public Interest Legal Foundation, which has launched the "Safeguarding America's Votes and Elections" database as a tool to track voter roll problems.  Its initial review of the integrity of states' voter files come just as states are moving toward mail-in voting this fall.

More Than 1,500 July NJ Primary Ballots [were] Just Found-'Trust' Mail Ballots?  Democrats are pushing really hard to get voters to use the mail.  But why?  Why should we put so much confidence in a system where the chain of custody of that ballot is unobserved?  Many places have (R) or (D) markings on the envelope to indicate which party you are registered in support of, so we don't even have the benefit of a secret ballot.  Such an artifact allows temptation and personal prejudices to enter into the equation.  Even without that indication, there are other clues that someone motivated to mess with an election could use to 'accidentally misdirect' mail whose ballot they didn't want to see counted.  Lawn signs and voting patterns by zip code are just two of the more obvious ones.  Even if we could eradicate every instance of human malice or vice in the polarized political environment we now find ourselves in, there is still the possibility of simple error.

Pennsylvania Supreme Court Sides with Democrats:  Mail-In Ballot Deadline Extended 3 Days After Election.  Pennsylvania's highest court gave the Democratic Party a series of victories Thursday, including one allowing repairs to glitches and gray areas in the battleground state's fledgling mail-in voting law and another that kicked the Green Party's presidential candidate off the November ballot.  The state Supreme Court, which has a 5-2 Democratic majority, granted the Democratic Party's request to order a three-day extension of Pennsylvania's Election Day deadline to count mailed-in ballots.  And it ruled that the Green Party's candidate for president did not strictly follow procedures for getting on the ballot in November and cannot appear on it.

Hundreds of Detroit ballots don't list Mike Pence as VP.  It turns out that only yesterday, Michigan was making military and overseas absentee ballots available for download and printing in advance of the general election.  Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were correctly listed as the Democratic candidates for President and Vice President on the Democratic line.  Donald Trump was also prominently featured as the GOP candidate for President.  But in the space allocated for Mike Pence as the veep, at least for a few hours, the system was generating ballots without his name.  On some of them, the space was simply left blank.  On others, a completely different name appeared.  They claim that this won't mess things up since the problem has been corrected, but it's just... odd.

Oops: Hundreds of Michigan Overseas Mail-in Ballots Omitted a Pretty Important Name.  Are hundreds of Michigan voters who serve in the military or live overseas about to get mail-in ballots that are missing a pretty important name?  Election officials recently discovered that, in lieu of Mike Pence, was the name Jeremy Cohen, Jo Jorgenson's Libertarian running mate. [...] The Michigan Secretary of State's Office confirmed the error, and apologized, adding that she doesn't know how many of these ballots were already sent out.

Uncounted Ballots From NJ July Primary Found in Bin, Finally Tallied.  Officials have counted more than 1,600 ballots from New Jersey's July primary that were found last week in a "mislabeled" bin.  The 1,666 ballots from Sussex County were placed in a "secure area" at the county election office and were not discovered until Thursday [9/10/2020], the New Jersey Herald reported.

Pennsylvania:  Mail ballots can't be discarded over signature.  With concerns rising in Pennsylvania that tens of thousands of mail-in ballots will be discarded in the presidential election over technicalities, officials in the presidential battleground told counties they aren't allowed to reject a ballot solely because an election official believes a signature doesn't match the one in the voter's file.  The new guidance from Pennsylvania's Department of State — that state law does not allow counties to set aside mail-in ballots based on their signature analysis — prompted the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania and the Urban League of Greater Pittsburgh to drop a lawsuit in federal court Monday [9/14/2020].

More Than 1,600 New Jersey Primary Ballots Found In 'Mislabeled' Bin 2 Months Later.  County officials in New Jersey tallied more than 1,600 uncounted ballots from the state's July primary after finding them in a bin last Thursday [9/10/2020].  The votes were reportedly placed in a "mislabeled" bin in a "secure area" of the county election office, according to the New Jersey Herald.  Sussex County Board of Elections Administrator Marge McCabe maintained that the 1,666 extra votes did not change the outcome of the July 7 primary race.  "The Board of Elections is confident that all ballots received have been processed and the security of all the ballots has remained in place," she said.  The Trump campaign has been tussling in court with New Jersey since August over Democrat Gov. Phil Murphy's executive order requiring that every active registered voter be sent a mail-in ballot.

Murphy's Law and Vote Fraud in New Jersey.  More than a century before hashtags and messaging apps, the era of political bosses and patronage made New Jersey the punch line of jokes about voter fraud.  Provincial anecdotes in Democrat county strongholds about the dead still voting and voting early and often have long come to epitomize the machine politics of a dark blue state where Democrat voters outnumber Republicans two to one and control 15 of 21 counties.  Standalone electronic voting booths have been used in the state for decades.  Unconnected to the internet, they are paperless and store votes until the polls close, after which the results are downloaded and passed along to county and state election officials.  There are no hanging chads or hand counts by half-sighted retirees.  Voting improprieties are thwarted by the convenience, simplicity, and efficiency of in-person e-voting.  But in a presidential election already being contested before a single vote is cast, COVID is offering the Democrat machine ample opportunity to subvert election integrity.

Minor amount of ballot fraud can change close election outcome, congressman warns.  Rep. Rodney Davis, R-Ill., the ranking member of the House Administration Committee, says a minor amount of voter fraud such as double voting can change the outcome of an election, so preventing it should be taken seriously by local, state and federal officials.  Georgia officials are reportedly investigating about 1,000 cases of double voting that occurred in the state's primary.  "As somebody who has been in close races before — I won my first race by less than two votes per precinct — if there was a small amount of fraud the election could have gone the other way.  And just to put it into perspective, some Democrats that year in 2012, won by smaller margins.  So fraud matters," Davis told Just the News following a mail-in voting discussion on Thursday [9/10/2020] with local and state election officials in New York.

Georgia Election Officials Receive Referrals for Nearly 100 Cases of Voter Fraud.  Georgia's state election board has referred nearly 100 cases of voter fraud to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R), some cases of which include individuals voting on behalf of dead people.  Last week, Raffensperger announced that his office had been sent 98 cases of voter fraud, spanning from elections held in 2014 to this year.

Major US city may soon allow 16-year-olds to vote, could others follow suit?  San Franciscans will cast their ballots in November to decide whether 16-year-olds can vote in local elections.  The proposition, if passed, would make San Francisco the first major U.S. city to give 16 and 17-year-olds the right to vote in municipal elections.  Advocates of the measure say lowering the voting age would instill a lifelong habit of voting.

The Editor says...
One can easily get into a habit of voting even after waiting until age 30 to get started.  One of Mrs. Editor's friends is 55 years old, and she will be voting this year for the first time.

Franklin town clerk resigns after ballot mishap.  A Massachusetts town clerk has resigned after officials in the 4th Congressional District community lost track of thousands of ballots in the primary earlier this month.  Franklin Town Clerk Teresa Burr on Friday [9/11/2020] stepped down to "re-establish confidence with the voters of this community in their elections," she wrote in her resignation letter.  Two days after the Sept. 1 primary, thousands of uncounted ballots surfaced in Franklin as the 4th Congressional District remained too close to call.  The newly discovered 3,000 uncounted ballots were mail-in votes that appeared to have never made it to polling locations on Election Day.  Poll workers ended up counting the 3,000 ballots late into the night two days after the primary.  Jake Auchincloss eventually won the Democratic primary.

2010: An Election Fraudyssey.  Democratic strategists of the Hawkfish firm, funded by Michael Bloomberg, are touting a scenario in which President Trump wins big on election night, but when all the ballots are counted, Trump is the loser and Joe Biden the winner.  Such a production already played out with Kamala Harris, in her 2010 race for California attorney general.  The former San Francisco district attorney was so lightly regarded at the time that the Sacramento Bee endorsed her Republican opponent, Los Angeles District Attorney Steve Cooley.  A prosecutor since 2000, Cooley had the backing of most law enforcement groups.  As CBS News reported, Cooley ran up "a comfortable lead in early returns" and on election night proclaimed victory.  The next day, the Harris campaign declared, "Harris will be the next attorney general of the state of California."  Four days later CBS reported that the race "could take weeks to decide," and Cooley trailed Harris by 12,000 votes.  More than 2.3 million "late or provisional ballots remain to be counted," according to the office of Secretary of State Debra Bowen, a Democrat.  Scott Hounsell worked on the Cooley campaign and described the scene.  "In the weeks leading up to the race, stories began to circulate about mail ballot operations being conducted throughout the state by forces loyal to Harris' team." [...]

How to Steal an Election - Part II.  The very publication of the Transition Integrity Project (TIP) report and the subsequent news media reporting about it are components of psychological warfare within the broader information warfare campaign aimed at spreading demoralizing rumors to Trump supporters.  The goal is to break down and weaken support before, during and after election day.  Demoralized and unmotivated supporters do not make their support for their candidate public.  They do not campaign in neighborhoods or post yard signs.  They do not vote.  They do not volunteer at polling places.  They become convinced their hopes are a lost, and highly controversial cause.  They do not wish to be called a racist, or a hater, or identified with other fringe elements.  They stay at home and watch TV.  Having been psychologically conditioned (through the COVID-19 pandemic) to withdraw, isolate, and lock-down — on largely fiat orders of various government officials — many Americans will react to the "irregular" and extra-legal tactics of the Left.  The Left relies on this reaction to suppress voter turnout and use varying forms of terror, such as reprisals and the threats of reprisals, against those who do not cooperate or who challenge the projected accusations detailed in the TIP report.  The TIP report is careful not to engage in sedition.  They are a whisper away from advocating violence — but these are very sharp political operatives that are all lawyered-up, so they speak in code.

Democrats Versus the Vote.  A recent New York Times piece about the presidential election reads more like an article in The Onion or Babylon Bee.  It claims that "President Trump's litigiousness and unfounded claims of fraud have increased the likelihood of epic postelection court fights."  The president's "litigiousness"?!  In state after state, almost all the lawsuits filed over this year's elections have been filed by Democrats and liberal or progressive organizations, seeking to change election rules by judicial fiat.  Their objective: force all-mail elections or huge increases in absentee balloting while simultaneously eliminating safeguards against abuse and fraud.  The Times top brass must not have read their own reporters' story very carefully.  That story cites law professor Richard Pildes's count of at least 160 lawsuits filed by "party organizations, campaigns and interest groups," noting that the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee "are involved" in only 40, "some in response to Democratic lawsuits." For those familiar with basic arithmetic, the "litigiousness" is on the other side of the political aisle.  Perhaps the Times didn't bother to do the math.

Wisconsin Supreme Court temporarily suspends mailing of absentee ballots.  The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Thursday [9/10/2020] temporarily suspended the mailing of absentee ballots for the Nov. 3 election as the court weighs whether to order the Green Party presidential ticket be added to the ballot.  The order from the conservative-backed majority on the state Supreme Court, coming a week before the state-imposed Sept. 17 deadline to send out requested absentee ballots to registered voters, is in a case brought by Green Party presidential candidate Howie Hawkins.  Some clerks, including those in Dane County, have already printed or sent out ballots as they handle an unprecedented number of requests this year due to COVID-19.

Will the Mail-In Ballot Push Backfire on Democrats?  [Scroll down]  Show up and vote in person.  Forget the virus or any of that.  They're trying to scare you into not voting.  They know.  The Democrats know the power of actually showing up and voting at the polling place in person.  Do it!  There's no counter to it.  That is where an election can be won or lost.  It's called turnout.  Now, the disqualification rate for mail-in ballots is very high.  We have seen this in the recent past, recent months where mail-in ballots have been used.  There are timing gates.  There are procedural requirements that can easily lead to a ballot getting thrown out.  You'd be amazed at how many mail-in ballots are tossed.

Vote in person and in large numbers to stop Democrat cheating.  With Democrat threats to further undermine the presidential election process, the best thing average patriotic Americans can do to combat this is to vote in person.  We need to have overwhelming numbers of Americans in line to fill out their ballots on Election Day.  Crowds of Trump-supporters are the only force that can surpass the Democrats' plans to cheat through mail-in voting.  And guess what:  our numbers will also be a show of protest against these internal enemies of America.  Conservatives rarely take to the streets to protest.  We have families to take care of, careers, and bills to pay.  However, when liberty is threatened and government overreaches, the signs and flags of conservatives will rise high in protest and in great numbers.  This Election Day is our time not only to redress government abuses at all levels, but also to protest the attempts of Marxist radicals (and their supporters in the Democrat party and mainstream media) who are trying to foment a civil war.

Texas federal appeals court rejects state Democrats' effort to expand voting by mail.  A federal appeals court in Texas ruled Thursday [9/10/2020] that the state can keep its eligibility rules for mail-in voting.  The ruling by the three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejects efforts by the Texas Democratic Party to expand eligibility for mail-in balloting to all registered voters.  They argue the state's age restrictions for such voting violate the 26th Amendment's protections against voting rules that discriminate based on age.  The panel found that "conferring a privilege" to some voters — in this case the option of voting by mail to voters 65 and older — does not alone violate the 26th Amendment, according to the Texas Tribune.

Some non-citizens and illegal immigrants are registered to vote in N.Y., election officials say.  Todd Valentine, New York Board of Elections co-executive director, and Nick LaLota, Suffolk County elections commissioner, said some non-citizens and illegal immigrants incorrectly get registered to vote in the state of New York.  New York Republican Rep. Lee Zeldin said he's aware of some non-citizens in Suffolk County who voted in previous elections.  During a mail-in voting discussion organized by House Administration Committee ranking member Rodney Davis, Zeldin asked how to prevent this situation from happening.  "We don't have the proper amount of rules and laws and regulations to fetter out that sort of nefarious activity," LaLota said.  LaLota explained that undocumented immigrants are able to apply for driver's licenses in the state, which makes it easier for them to mistakenly become registered eligible voters.

Poll: 80% of Democrats think making voting easier is more important than ensuring voter eligibility.  Roughly 80% of Democratic think that getting as many people as possible into the voting booth is more important than making sure each voter is eligible to cast a ballot, a new Just the News Daily Poll with Scott Rasmussen shows.  About 70% of Republican voters, meanwhile, think the opposite, believing that election authorities should work harder to verify each voter's eligibility.  Overall, a majority of Americans, 54%, think that making voting easier for everyone is more important, while 41% think that more vigorously enforcing election laws is a higher priority.

Fight — or the Dems Will Steal This Election.  [Scroll down]  As Gore tried to do with his, "we count until I win" strategy in 2000, in 2020, the Democrats and their newly hired 600 lawyers are going to insist that every vote be counted no matter how long it takes.  And when the mail-in votes suspiciously turn a Trump landslide into a Biden victory, they will declare Democrats believe in science and were afraid of COVID and therefore, voted by mail.  Why do you think Biden wears the mask and keeps mentioning the pandemic?  Why do you think Democrat governors are keeping economies closed even though COVID is fast disappearing as a threat?  The riots were kept alive by Democrats to get Americans used to the violence that they will use to help steal this election.  The vote by mail push is to make it easier to steal.  The lawyers are to make it legal for them to do so.

Expect Democrat Shenanigans, But Don't Panic.  Now, they will cheat.  That's baked in, and they are fully committed to it.  That's why they hate hate hate voter ID — it's harder to cheat when you have to prove who you are.  Voting-by-mail gets around that and offers all sorts of opportunities for mischief.  They fully intend to try to leverage voting by mail to 1) get China virus paranoids and their usual lay-about voters to vote instead of just sitting home watching "Judge Judy," and 2) manufacture the necessary votes to swing the election.  The turnout issue is important to them because all the numbskulls driving their cars alone with masks on are all liberal.

Voter Fraud Cases Emerge in Battleground States of North Carolina, Georgia.  Two states seen as possible battlegrounds for the November presidential election had major revelations of alleged voter fraud within a week's time.  The Georgia secretary of state's office announced Tuesday that about 1,000 people voted twice in the state's June primary, with charges likely to follow.  They were referred for possible prosecution.  Just six days earlier, a federal prosecutor in North Carolina announced the indictment of 19 foreign nationals who are said to have illegally voted in the 2016 election. [...] In a news conference, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said he was referring the roughly 1,000 cases of voters who voted by absentee ballot and in person in the June 9 primary to the office of state Attorney General Chris Carr and local prosecutors to determine how to handle them on a case-by-case basis.

Democrats' Plot to Abolish Election Night.  The left and its media allies are warning Americans not to expect a winner on election night.  If Donald Trump leads on Nov. 3, the victory will be nothing more than a "red mirage," says Josh Mendelsohn, whose firm consults for the Democratic National Committee.  In the days or weeks afterward, a Trump victory will be beaten back and undone as mail-in ballots tip the election for Joe Biden, predicts New York Times columnist David Brooks.  "Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances," warns Hillary Clinton.  Don't swallow this propaganda that election night victories are a thing of the past because of mail-in voting.  Election night is a hallmark of American democracy.  The public should be demanding the easy reforms that would protect it.

Here's the One Problem with Mail-In Ballots in Battleground States.  Many states are opting into voting by mail this election cycle because of the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic.  The goal is to give voters an opportunity to make their voices heard while protecting them from potentially catching the virus.  One of the issues, however, with moving to a system like this is the potential for fraud.  As RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel previously explained, states that have had absentee voting for long periods of time have "tried and true" voting by mail.  It means their systems have been tested for abuse and fraud.  States that are taking the plunge suddenly haven't done things like making sure a voter only receives one ballot or confirming a voter still resides at the same address.

How to Steal an Election.  In one of the greatest public disinformation campaigns in American history — the Left and their NeverTrumper allies (under the nom de guerre: "Transition Integrity Project") released a 22-page report in August 2020 "war gaming" (their term) four election crisis scenarios:  1. A decisive Trump win; 2. A decisive Biden win; 3. A narrow Biden win; and, 4. A period of extended uncertainty after the election.  The outcome of each TIP scenario results in street violence and political impasse.  TIP organizers and leaders include Georgetown law professor Rosa Brooks, Nils Gilman of the "independent" Berggruen Institute in California, and John Podesta, the longtime fixer and handler of the Clinton political dynasty.  The nominally Republican members of group include former Republican National Chair Michael Steele, journalist David Frum, and former magazine editor Bill Kristol.  Publication of the TIP report is an information warfare strategy employed for revolutionary political purposes.

Democrats' new strategy for winning the White House:  Threaten riots if they lose.  In recent weeks, multiple mainstream outlets have pondered the same old Trump-sore-loser scenario.  They are certain the president will seek to delegitimize the results and use unconstitutional means to hold onto an office from which they are sure voters will evict him.  As he did in 2016, Trump has cast doubt on the integrity of the process by talking about possible election fraud.  Only this time, his concerns have some merit.  A recent Post feature related a veteran Democratic operative's confession about how easy it is to cheat, making it clear there is reason to worry.  With so many ballots being mailed this fall because of the pandemic — and with so few safeguards put in place — chaos is likely as the count drags on for days, weeks and even months after Election Day.

1,000 People Double-Voted In Georgia Primary, Face 10 Years In Prison, $100,000 Fine.  As many as 1,000 Georgians voted twice in the state's June 9 primary, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced on Tuesday, which is a felony that he vowed to prosecute.  "A double voter knows exactly what they're doing, diluting the votes of each and every voter that follows the law," Raffensperger said during a press conference at the state Capitol, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.  "Those that make the choice to game the system are breaking the law.  And as secretary of state, I will not tolerate it."  Double voting is punishable by one to 10 years in prison and a fine up to $100,000.

Georgia Secretary of State: 1000 People Double-Voted In Primary.  Voter fraud is not real, we are told.  Yet here is another example, on a large scale tied directly to the surge in absentee voting[.]

1,000 people double-voted in Georgia primary, says secretary of state.  Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced Tuesday that about 1,000 Georgians face investigation for voting twice in the state's June 9 primary, a large-scale allegation of fraud eight weeks before Election Day.  These voters returned absentee ballots and then also showed up at polling places on election day, Raffensperger said.  Double-voting is a felony in Georgia.

The Democrats' Upcoming Theft of the 2020 Election.  [Scroll down]  The fear among Democrats of another four years of Donald Trump chipping away at their Deep State cash cow is admission in itself that Joe Biden can't compete with Trump.  In four different scenarios, there is actually a disgraceful checklist of tactics for Democrat operatives to prepare to carry out in order to usurp all possible constitutional remedies to any uncertainties in the election results.  Clearly, an Electoral College loss and a popular vote win will be unacceptable to them.  Their fabricated moves within the "game" are really scare tactics against President Trump, all familiar because we've watched variations of them in the endless Democrat investigations over the last four years.  This is instant replay, on a different channel...the Democrats plotting to remove the duly elected president of the United States by whatever means they think will work.  Only this time, rather than doing so in secret meetings and using illegal surveillance with government resources, they plan to include their violent anarchists already at work in the streets of America.

Salvaging the 2020 Election.  The November election is shaping up to be a repeat of the one in 2000 when recounts of the presidential vote tally dragged on for five weeks.  There's even a new website called "The Recount." But it's not a recount that Americans are being conditioned to accept as normal, this time it's the initial count.  It's the initial vote count that Democrats want to drag on and on; perhaps past the Electoral College deadline in December and even past Inauguration Day in 2021.  And if the initial counting drags on for long enough, there won't be time for any recounts.  That's because just like the proverbial show, the government must go on.  And you can take this to the bank:  if the counting produces a Biden win, Democrats will declare victory and attempt to stop the counting cold.

Rhode Island's Senior Ballot Harvest.  Rhode Island holds its legislative primary on Tuesday [9/8/2020], and already there are allegations of ballot harvesting and election fraud — by a Democrat against another Democrat.  In July Rhode Island entered a consent decree with progressive groups suspending its legal requirement that voters complete mail-in ballots before two witnesses or a notary.  Liberal groups claimed the state law could endanger the health of the elderly and people with pre-existing conditions because they might have to invite outsiders into their homes to vote.

The Left's Dangerous Delegitimization of the Election.  A recent article in The Washington Post's Outlook section, "What's the Worst That Could Happen?" — which explores various potential outcomes of the 2020 presidential election — found that in "every scenario except a [Joe] Biden landslide, our simulation ended catastrophically."  According to the Post, any other outcome is destined to spark "violence" and a "constitutional crisis." [...] In their "war game" scenarios, however, it's the Democrats who refuse to accept the will of courts to adhere to the constitutionally prescribed system rather than hysteria, and it's the Democrats who wish-cast the wholly imaginary "popular vote" into existence.  One of the scenarios, we learn, "doesn't look that different from 2016" — a contest in which, it must be pointed out, not one vote has been proven to be uncounted or altered.  In that outcome, America is confronted with "a big popular win for Mr. Biden, and a narrow electoral defeat."  In the real world, incidentally, that scenario is called a "Trump victory." [...] In the meantime, California, Oregon, and Washington threaten to secede from the union if Trump takes office.

The Editor says...
[#1] I don't think Biden has enough supporters to win the popular vote, except possibly in California.  In the absence of voter fraud, he doesn't have a chance.  [#2] Yes, by all means, if you live in California, Washington, or Oregon, please do secede, whether Trump wins or not.  That will require another very long border wall, but it will be worth the expense.

Tech Tyrant Zuckerberg:  Americans Must Accept that Election May Take WEEKS to Decide — And This is "Normal".  Democrats and Never-Trumpers are planning massive unrest following the November 3rd election.  A top Democrat data and analytics firm funded by Michael Bloomberg claimed it is highly likely President Trump will win by a landslide on election night, but will ultimately lose in the following days after mail-in ballots continue to be counted. [...] And this weekend Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg warned Americans that the election may take weeks to decide.  He also wants Americans to believe this is normal.  It's not.  It's called stealing an election.

Michigan's top elections official says that results won't be available Nov 3.  Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said Sunday that it could take up to a week to count all of Michigan's absentee ballots for November's election.  "We should be prepared for this to be closer to an election week, as opposed to an Election Day," she said on NBC's "Meet the Press."  "The bottom line is we are not going to have the full results and a counting of all of our ballots on election night."

Most voters plan to cast ballots in person this year, even in 'all mail' states.  Devyn Smith won't let the coronavirus or a ballot arriving in her mailbox keep her from showing up in person at the polling station to cast her vote for Democratic presidential nominee Joseph R. Biden.  Ms. Smith, a 28-year-old Black woman who works as a teller at a credit union, said going to the polls is more convenient and not any riskier than her everyday activities.  "I work in front of the public all day, every day," she said.

Organizers Of "White House Siege" Predict" Things Could Turn Very Ugly" — Predicts New Civil War.  As November draws closer, President Trump has indeed adopted a more ominous tone about the election.  In speeches and interviews, he complained about "voter fraud" and warns that Democrats will use millions of fraudulent mail-in ballots to steal his second term.  A few days ago Bernie Sanders said that he fears President Donald Trump will refuse to leave office if he loses reelection and is calling on Congress and the media to take action to prepare for that scenario now, he said in an interview with POLITICO. [...] Of course, the Dems have other foot soldiers to do their dirty work for them.  With the chances of a legitimate election win by Joe Biden slowly slipping away, allies of the Democrats are positioning their forces for the chaos that will be unleashed by the reelection of President Trump.

Chief Justice John Roberts Will Decide 2020 Election, Dick Morris Predicts.  Former Clinton campaign adviser Dick Morris predicted during a Sunday interview that the 2020 presidential election is going to drag out because of mail-in voting and end up being decided by Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts.  As Breitbart reported, Morris told "The Cats Roundtable" host John Catsimatidis that while he believes it will appear that Trump wins in a landslide on Election Night, Democratic officials in swing states will manage in subsequent days to discover millions of mail-in ballots in favor of Democratic nominee Joe Biden.

Numerous Illegal Aliens Charged With 2016 Voter Fraud In North Carolina.  Nineteen foreign nationals face federal charges in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina for illegally voting in the 2016 federal elections, according to federal charges.  A federal grand jury in Wilmington charged seven foreign nationals on August 31 on federal felony charges including falsely claiming U.S. citizenship or making false statements on voter registration application, and with misdemeanor charges of unlawfully casting ballots in the 2016 presidential election.  Non-citizens are not eligible to register to vote or to vote in federal elections under U.S. law.

Legal group finds thousands of double voters in battleground states.  A legal foundation has filed two court briefs that assert that double voting by the thousands happened in 2016-2018 in Georgia and North Carolina, as the nation prepares for its first large-scale, mail-in balloting to elect a president.  Anti-universal mail ballot activists say the two states are a tip-off for what will happen in the Nov. 3 election.  Liberal journalists demand that the Trump administration, which opposes mass-mailed ballots in most states, provide evidence of fraud.  The counterargument is that it is difficult to cite such examples when only a handful of states before 2020 adopted remote voting.

Is Mail-In Ballot Fraud Real?  Evidence Says Yes.  Speaker Nancy Pelosi signaled her intent in April:  "Vote by mail is so important to... our democracy so that people have access to voting and not be deterred, especially at this time, by the admonition to stay home."  But while malls, cinemas, and restaurants begin to re-open, Americans are increasingly curious as to the keenness of Democrats to get people to vote by mail.  As of August, at least three-quarters of Americans were eligible to vote by mail in some form.  President Trump recently cited the New York Times' number of 80 million ballots which will "flood election offices this fall, more than double the number that were returned in 2016."

19 Foreign Nationals Charged with Voter Fraud in Swing State North Carolina.  19 foreign nationals were charged in August in North Carolina with voter fraud after voting in the 2016 elections.  The charges are the latest in an ongoing investigation conducted by ICE officials.  Maybe this is why Democrats hate ICE so much?

California to Offer Drive-Thru Voting for November Election in Orange County.  Orange County, California, is offering voters the option to submit a drive-thru ballot this November election season to stem the spread of the coronavirus.  The county will use the Honda Center in Anaheim as a staging location, allowing voters to cast their ballots from their cars or in person inside the arena, the Daily Pilot reported.

When Information Is Disinformation.  While most national media outlets covered the Democratic and Republican National Conventions over the last two weeks, the Washington Post decided to go to war with a little-known website called Protect My Vote.  While the Post labeled the site and its corresponding advertisements a "disinformation campaign," ironically, the paper's own news coverage supports the site's message around a key piece of voter education:  Your vote is more likely to be counted when it is cast in person.  In an added twist, Protect My Vote directs visitors from every state to their specific government agencies to register to vote, to request an absentee ballot, or to find their polling place.  Bizarrely, a site underscoring official government resources is now categorized by the Washington Post as disinformation.

Today's Mainstream Media Wants To Keep Voters Ignorant And Uninformed.  I think the US government needs to run a massive news/publicity campaign (before the media and social media can collude to ban ads) threatening action against anyone who commits any voter fraud.  Any kind, and let them know that they will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.  I would go so far as to offer a reward to anyone who turns in a fraudster or who provides evidence leading to a successful prosecution.  What this would do is create distrust among the crooks.  Is it worth risking jail time?  Is the guy standing next to me videotaping my preparation of multiple ballots?  Could the guy I just asked to help me fill out ballots be an undercover agent?  Likewise, falsely accusing someone of voter fraud would be a crime.  It isn't that hard to find out if someone voted twice.  Voter fraud is not an act of patriotism.  Finally, offer a small reward to anyone turning in an unclaimed ballot (i.e., a ballot left at an apartment building mailbox center) because the addressee isn't there.  There could be thousands of postal workers who decide to leave undeliverable ballots lying around, knowing that they will be picked up and filled out by an unethical Democrat.)

More Illegal Aliens Charged for Voter Fraud in the 2016 Presidential Race.  It's now Sep. 2020, and the feds are still uncovering voter fraud in the 2016 presidential election.  No telling how long it will take to weed through all the illegal votes cast this November, especially if Democrats get their way on vote-by-mail.  In an ongoing investigation by ICE's Homeland Security Investigations office in Raleigh, North Carolina, 19 more illegal aliens have been charged with illegally voting in the 2016 presidential election.  The years-long investigation resulted in charges against 19 other foreign nationals back in Aug. 2018 for also voting illegally in 2016. According to an ICE press release, the illegal aliens violated U.S. election law that bars non-citizens from registering to vote or voting in federal elections under U.S. law.

The Dems Plan to Steal the Presidency.  [Scroll down]  Apart from having Antifa intimidate at the polls, the Biden Campaign has hired hundreds of lawyers to supposedly prevent Trump from stealing the election, but who, in reality, are intended to muck up with legal technicalities and lawsuits what is looking more and more to be a Trump landslide.  At least until they "find in someone's trunk" or manufacture enough votes to turn the election.  Republicans have always seemed remarkably flaccid in their response to these "lost" and "found" votes always being cast for the Democrat. [...] In addition, look for the fabled "October Surprise."  For instance, the NY attorney general will probably attempt to charge Trump with some imaginary crime before election day.  It is common knowledge a prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich, and there is no bigger ham than Trump — all they need do is make the sandwich.  If they have problems vote-harvesting enough votes to steal the election, Dems will, as they did in 2016, roll out media heads, celebrities, and prominent Democrats to convince members of the Electoral College not to award their votes to Trump.  This time they will coerce through doxing, violence, economic intimidation, tweetstorm, and social media ostracism to impel electors to award their votes to Biden.

Drain the Swamp, Or Be Drowned By It.  On the dangers of mail-in voting initiated by unsolicited mass-distribution of ballots according to an always partly obsolescent voters' register, the bipartisan commission headed by President Carter and former Secretary of State James Baker concluded several years ago that this was a great cause of possible fraud and chicanery.  Everyone who believes in honest elections can only hope that the judiciary deals with the pending welter of litigation fairly and effectively, and that the Republicans are as well-mobilized with observers and lawyers at all stages of the voting process as the Democrats, to ensure that skullduggery is either frustrated altogether or of equal weight on both sides.

Facebook to Limit Political Ads Week Before Election, Label Premature Calls.  Facebook Inc. will prohibit new political advertisements in the week before the U.S. presidential election in November and seek to flag any candidates' premature claims of victory, Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg said.  The steps are meant to head off last-minute misinformation campaigns and limit the potential for civil unrest, Mr. Zuckerberg said in a statement Thursday [9/3/2020].

Or, to put it another way...
Zuckerberg Says Facebook Will Suppress Trump Victory Claims After Election.  In another example of social media companies putting their fingers on the scales in the upcoming president election, Facebook has announced it will suppress what it calls "premature claims of victory by candidates," while failing to identify what that means.  The news comes as The National Pulse highlights the attempts by the left to delay the naming of a winner by several days or over a week after the election.  President Trump shared The National Pulse story with the question:  "Rigged Election?"

Temporary victory:  Texas Supreme Court stops Harris County plan for mail-in voting.  Wednesday [9/2/2020] I wrote about the Attorney General of Texas, Ken Paxton, filing a lawsuit against Harris County Clerk Christopher Hollins.  His intention is to halt the county clerk's plan to send a mail-in ballot application to every registered voter in Harris County.  Harris County has 2.4 million registered voters, so we're not talking about a small operation here.  At the end of the post I noted that with early voting beginning in just six weeks in Texas, the Texas Supreme Court would likely rule quickly.  They did.  Later Wednesday the ruling in favor of A.G. Paxton came down.  The Texas Supreme Court issued a temporary halt to Hollins' plan.  Paxton's reasoning is that mass mailing would be a blatant violation of Texas election law.

Democrat Mail Fraud Will Take Us to the Brink.  Now that a top Democrat data analytics firm has finally confirmed that Democrats plan to claim victory weeks after the presidential election once enough of their "votes" show up in the mail to be counted, I don't think any rational observer could view this as anything but a promise to destroy the legitimacy of the 2020 election. [...] They have a three-tailed con in play:  (1) attempt to win swing states fast and declare victory before fraudulent ballots can be scrutinized; (2) harvest loose ballots after election day until Trump vote leads disappear; (3) throw the whole mess into state and federal courts until a Democrat-leaning judge gives them a Democrat lead.  At any time that one of these tails secures a Democrat victory, the "useful idiot" #NeverTrumpers and hacks in the press will aid the Democrats in quickly declaring the election over and calling for President Trump's concession. [...] All the chaos lying ahead was preventable, of course.  In the most modern and technically advanced nation in the history of the planet, the idea that the United States cannot vouchsafe the results of a democratic election is absurd.

Dem arrested for voter fraud.  A New Hampshire man, suspected to have been a Democratic Party poll watcher, has been accused of voting twice in the 2016 general election using two different names.  Vincent Marzello, 65, of Lebanon, was arrested Wednesday and charged with wrongful voting, a felony, according to the attorney general's office.  Authorities also are seeking to enforce a civil penalty for obtaining a ballot in someone else's name.

State charges Lebanon man with double voting in 2016.  A West Lebanon man was charged with voting twice in the 2016 election, and used his "alter ego" to sign up as a 2020 campaign ballot inspector for the New Hampshire Democratic Party.  State police arrested Vincent Marzello, 65, Thursday and charged him with voting twice in Lebanon first as himself and then a second time as Helen Elisabeth Ashley.  Both votes were cast from someone claiming to live at 101 Maple St. in West Lebanon.  State prosecutors said Marzello then used Ashley's name to be assigned as an inspector for the upcoming elections.

Massachusetts 4th Congressional District:  Thousands of ballots found in Franklin, Jesse Mermell's campaign solicits recount signatures.  A recount could be looming in the 4th Congressional District race between two Democrats as more uncounted ballots surfaced on Thursday [9/3/2020].  Officials in Newton, Wellesley and Franklin on Thursday [9/3/2020] restarted counting primary ballots after Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin filed a court order to authorize local poll workers to continue counting ballots that were received on time and had not been tallied by the end of Tuesday night.  In Franklin, poll workers Thursday evening were counting about 3,000 uncounted ballots — much more than the previously estimated 600 uncounted ballots, according to a spokeswoman for the Secretary of the Commonwealth's Office.  The newly discovered 3,000 uncounted ballots were mail-in votes that appeared to have never made it to polling locations on Election Day.

The Editor says...
[#1] Any time "missing" or "lost" ballots are discovered after the polls close, or after Election Day, they always favor the Democrats who were trailing in a close election.  If a Democrat wins in a landslide, lost ballots never materialize.  [#2] Why would mail-in votes be addressed to a polling location, rather than the county courthouse?

Jesse Mermell says more uncounted ballots are out there, doesn't rule out recount.  As election officials in three communities in the 4th Congressional District restart counting primary ballots, the candidate in second place said her campaign believes there are even more uncounted ballots in cities and towns across the district.  Jesse Mermell — trailing by 1% to Jake Auchincloss (down 1,443 votes with more than 96% of precincts in) — also wouldn't rule out a recount in the race that's still too close to call.

The Editor says...
How would she know if there were more uncounted ballots "out there?"

Trump campaign bracing for legal battle over election, forming 'coalition' of lawyers.  The Trump campaign is bracing for the possibility of a protracted legal battle in the event of a contested election, even forming what it's calling a "Lawyers for Trump" coalition to "protect the integrity" of November's vote.  Campaign General Counsel Matthew Morgan told Fox News this week that the campaign is urging active and retired attorneys and even law students to volunteer in their nationwide efforts.  "Democrats are working to shred election integrity measures one state at a time, and there's no question they'll continue their shenanigans from now to November and beyond," Morgan told Fox News.  "The Trump campaign is fighting to ensure every valid ballot across America counts — once."

New Narrative Propaganda:  Trump Will Lead Big On Election Night — Biden Will Win Due To Mail-In Ballots.  We are not going to know the winner of the presidential election on the night of November 3rd.  Sadly, we almost certainly won't know the winner the next day either.  In fact, it may be many weeks before a winner is formally declared.  Laws have been passed all over the country to make voting by mail much easier, and it is being very heavily promoted in many states.  It is being projected that at least 83 percent of all U.S. voters will be eligible to vote by mail in November, and that is an astounding number.  If all of those people actually did vote by mail, more than 190 million votes would go through our postal system.  But of course, many people will continue to show up in person and vote the old-fashioned way.  We will get the results from those that vote in person on election day very rapidly like we normally do, but it may take a very long time before all of the mail-in votes are tallied.

AG Bill Barr Goes Off on Wolf Blitzer on Mail-in Voter Fraud.  Attorney General Bill Barr went on with Wolf Blitzer on CNN on Wednesday.  During the discussion Wolf Blitzer tried to defend the Democrat plan to send out MILLIONS of ballots to voters this fall for the general election.  Blitzer thinks this is perfectly fine and acceptable.

Harris County's plan to send mail-in ballot applications to all voters temporarily halted.  The Texas Supreme Court has temporarily blocked Harris County from sending vote-by-mail applications to all of the county's registered voters.  However, county officials had already agreed to refrain from sending the applications to voters for the November election due to a separate legal challenge from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.  On Monday [8/31/2020], Paxton filed a lawsuit against Harris County Clerk Chris Hollins, who spearheaded the move to send out the mail-in ballot applications.

'Playing with fire': Barr says advocates of mass mail-in voting jeopardize public confidence in election.  Attorney General William Barr warned that advocates of mass mail-in voting are preventing public confidence in the upcoming election.  During an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Wednesday, Barr said the reason why the United States has not seen examples of widespread voter fraud is because it has not tried mass vote-by-mail.  Citing a bipartisan commission on federal election reform, chaired by former President Jimmy Carter and former Secretary of State James Baker III, he said that the system could enable widespread fraud.

Judge Rules 50,000 Iowa Absentee Ballot Applications Invalid.  A state judge has invalidated more than 50,000 absentee ballot application forms sent to voters in Linn County, Iowa, the second-largest county in the state.  The county auditor's office almost completely filled out the ballot applications, despite the secretary of state's directions that only the election date be included.  The auditor's actions may have also been against a state law that forbids government workers from filling out the forms.  Judge Ian Thornhill agreed with the Trump campaign, which had sued the county over the ballot applications.

Democrat Data Firm Admits 'Incredible' Trump Landslide Will Be Flipped By Mail-In Votes Emerging A Week After Election Day.  A top Democratic data analytics firm has confirmed National Pulse exclusive reporting, claiming it believes President Trump will win on election night but in the following days mail-in ballots will trickle in to reverse the victory in favor of Biden.  The admission, divulged by the company's CEO Josh Mendelsohn in an interview with Axios, confirms predictions made by Brexit architect Nigel Farage and The National Pulse Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam on the outlet's newly-launched TV show.  It also follows Hillary Clinton telling Biden "don't concede," irrespective of the election outcome.  Hawkfish — a "data analytics agency founded by Michael Bloomberg to support Democratic candidates" per Axios, contends that President Trump will likely win an "incredible victory" with the Electoral College on election night.

The Democrats Explain Their Voter Fraud Plans.  I expect that President Trump will be re-elected in November.  The Democrats apparently expect that as well.  At least, the Democratic Party web site Axios does.  Thus, Axios is warning the party's faithful that President Trump is likely to win — apparently — on November 3.  But never fear:  weeks remain in which the Democrats can harvest fake ballots! [...] [F]ake Democratic ballots are far more likely to come in by mail, mysteriously mailed in by persons to whom they may or may not have been addressed — millions of those people being dead, moved away, or ineligible to vote.  The "vote by junk mail" regime established in a number of states by the Democrats opens the door to voter fraud to an unprecedented degree.  Which was, of course, the idea.

Assuming that all the votes needed by Democrats are mailed on Election Day:
Bloomberg-Funded Group:  Trump May Win Election Night, But Joe Biden Will Win Days Later Due to Mail-in Votes.  An analytics firm bankrolled by billionaire Michael Bloomberg is predicting that while President Trump will appear to win on November 3, Democrat Joe Biden will actually win the election days later due to mail-in voting.  Josh Mendelsohn, the CEO of Hawkfish — funded by Bloomberg and currently working for various pro-Biden super PACs — told Axios that his firm predicts a "red mirage" where Trump wins on election day but Biden wins the election days later when mail-in votes are counted.

The Editor says...
It's too late now, but mail-in voting should never have been legalized.  If the Republicans ever win again, mail-in voting should be eliminated.  At the very least, the rules should be changed to require that the mail-in ballots must be received on or before Election Day.

"The Red Mirage" theory provides the justification for Democrat mischief post Election Day.  The Red Mirage theory, that Trump will have a significant lead on Election Night, but will lose when mail-in ballots are counted, is the excuse for Democrats to spend weeks trying to count ballots in Democrat areas that arrive late or that don't comply with the rules, and to disqualify valid ballots in Republican areas.

Dem operative warns 'red mirage' lead for Trump on Election Night; real Biden win won't show for days.  Would it surprise anyone that a Democrat operative is predicting that Joe Biden will win the presidency after the mail-in ballots get counted?  President Trump, who appears to be surging in the polls, will be in the lead on Election Night, but that's just a "red mirage," according to Josh Mendelsohn, the CEO of a Michael Bloomberg-founded data analytics firm called Hawkfish.  By the following Sunday when mail-ins get counted, Biden will be in the driver's seat, however, Mendelsohn's modeling supposedly indicates.

Mass vote-by-mail really does invite fraud — we need to guard against it.  Voting fraud, especially via mail-in ballots, is a cinch to pull off, warns a top Democratic operative, who's done it repeatedly.  Yet voting by mail will be a huge part of the November election.  Which is why officials need to plug the holes now.  Fixing ballots "is a real thing" and plenty common, says the insider in Jon Levine's eye-opener in Sunday's [New York] Post.  States, he pleads, need to address major security gaps to protect the November election.  Indeed, as few as 500 or 1,000 votes can be enough "to flip" entire states, notes the source, who (as The Post confirmed) has worked in numerous legislative, mayoral and congressional races across the tri-state area.  Among the scams he describes:
  •   Postmen or others simply discard ballot-stuffed envelopes from areas that lean heavily toward a candidate they oppose.
  •   Operatives offer to mail completed ballots for voters, then steam open the envelopes and switch in their own ballots.
  •   Insiders "help" the elderly by filling out ballots for them.  In some nursing homes, "the nurse is actually paid" to do that.
  •   Voters are flat-out bribed.
Thanks to the pandemic, 20 states (including New York) have changed their rules to make it far easier to vote by mail, The Washington Post reports.  Even before that, 34 states let anyone vote absentee.

Judge rules Georgia ballots mailed by Election Day must be counted.  A federal judge on Monday [8/31/2020] extended the deadline for absentee ballots to be returned in Georgia, ruling that they must be counted if postmarked by Election Day and delivered up to three days afterward.  The decision will likely result in tens of thousands of ballots being counted after Nov. 3 that would have otherwise been rejected, enough to swing close elections.  The ruling invalidates Georgia's requirement that ballots had to be received at county election offices by 7 p.m. on Election Day.  U.S. District Judge Eleanor Ross wrote that voters must be protected during the coronavirus pandemic, when record numbers of Georgians are expected to cast absentee ballots.

The Editor says...
This decision / edict guarantees the election will continue for several days after Election Day, which in turn allows the Democrats to figure out, on the evening of November 3rd, how far behind their candidates are, at the moment the legitimate polls close, "find" enough ballots to catch up, and get them postmarked by midnight.  Expect to see far more than 100 percent voter turnout in some precincts.

Confessions of a voter fraud:  I was a master at fixing mail-in ballots.  A top Democratic operative says voter fraud, especially with mail-in ballots, is no myth.  And he knows this because he's been doing it, on a grand scale, for decades.  Mail-in ballots have become the latest flashpoint in the 2020 elections.  While President Trump and the GOP warn of widespread manipulation of the absentee vote that will swell with COVID polling restrictions, many Democrats and their media allies have dismissed such concerns as unfounded.  But the political insider, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he fears prosecution, said fraud is more the rule than the exception.  His dirty work has taken him through the weeds of municipal and federal elections in Paterson, Atlantic City, Camden, Newark, Hoboken and Hudson County and his fingerprints can be found in local legislative, mayoral and congressional races across the Garden State.  Some of the biggest names and highest office holders in New Jersey have benefited from his tricks, according to campaign records The [New York] Post reviewed.

Federal Judge Rules Texas Must Allow Online Voter Registration with Driver's License Renewal.  A federal judge ruled Friday that Texas violated federal law by not allowing residents to register to vote when they renewed their driver's license online, despite state officials' push to preserve the requirement of paper registrations.  In his ruling, U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia concluded the state's restriction was "breaking the National Voter Registration Act, which mandates that states must allow residents to register to vote when applying for or renewing their driver's licenses," according to the Hill.

Without Voter Fraud Operations, You Would Have Never Heard of Kamala Harris.  For the past several weeks, Democrats have been pounding on the drum of claiming that President Trump was enacting some horrible policies that were going to destroy election integrity across the country.  As the Wuhan Virus continues to wreak havoc across the world, numerous state and county officials have moved all voters to mail ballot to encourage voter engagement.  Dems however, see this as an opportunity to engage in ballot harvesting operations across the country. [...] In my more than a decade working on political campaigns, I witnessed voter fraud operations by the dozens.  One of the elections in which I was involved was the 2010 race for Attorney General in the State of California.  The race came down to two big city powerhouse District Attorneys, Steve Cooley from Los Angeles County and the at-the-time-little-known Kamala Harris of San Francisco.  In the weeks leading up to the race, stories began to circulate about mail ballot operations being conducted throughout the state by forces loyal to Harris' team.

Based on Recent Results the USPS Is Only Part of the Problem with Mail-in Voting.  Between the two conventions this month there has been a curious dose of dissonance emerging on the left and in the press.  At once there has been the effort made to declare Qanon a toxic conspiracy mill, with the intent of making anyone who can be accused of connection or being supportive poisoned as a result.  At the same time these sources have been willing to push the narrative that President Trump is attempting to shut down the US Postal Service ahead of the proposed nationwide mail-in voting effort.  It is a marvel of obliviousness that those who are decrying conspiracy theories are circulating "proof" of the President's alleged efforts.  A brokedown mail vehicle on a tow truck was said to have been stolen, with votes inside.  Mailboxes with locks on them, and those taken off the streets in a years-in-the-process refurbishment program were said to be done to block votes.  Then there was the sorting machine outrage.  Old and decommissioned machines that had been upgraded and replaced were said to be shut down on Trump's order, absent anything approaching evidence.

Iowa judge's ruling hands Trump campaign early win on mail-in ballots.  An Iowa judge's ruling invalidating 50,000 requests for absentee ballots because an election official pre-filled voters' personal information has handed President Trump's campaign an early win in its fight against expanded mail-in balloting.  Judge Ian Thornhill this week ruled Linn County Auditor Joel Miller, a Democrat, overstepped his bounds by pre-entering personal information in the ballots mailed out to county voters.  Miller has been ordered to void the original ballot requests and inform voters in writing they must process new absentee ballots or show up to the polls to vote in person.

Mail-in ballots were part of a plot to deny Lincoln reelection in 1864.  Traveling to Baltimore in the fall of 1864, Orville Wood had no way of knowing he would soon uncover the most elaborate election conspiracy in America's brief history.  Wood was a merchant from Clinton County in the most northeastern corner of New York.  As a supporter of President Abraham Lincoln, he was tasked with visiting troops from his hometown to "look after the local ticket."  New York legislators had only established the state's mail-in voting system in April with the intent of ensuring the suffrage of White troops battling the Confederate Army.  The results of the 1864 elections would heavily affect the outcome of the war.

Dems want 'chaos' so they can count ballots after election day:  Jordan.  Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, the first night of the Republican National Convention, the Postal Service controversy and big tech censorship.  [Video clip]

Hillary Clinton Tells Joe Biden Not To Accept The Election Results If He Loses.  According to Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden will "eventually" win the 2020 election — or at least she believes so.  In order for that to happen, however, Joe Biden must not accept the election results if things "drag out."  Specifically, Clinton thinks Biden "should not concede under any circumstances."  "If it's a close election — like say Biden 'wins' — what do you think Trump will do?" Jennifer Palmieri asked the former secretary of state and failed 2016 presidential candidate on an episode of Showtime's "The Circus."  Clinton suggested Republicans will try different strategies, such as "messing up absentee balloting" like she said they have done in Wisconsin (as if Hillary knows what happens in Wisconsin).  "The only way they can win is by either suppressing or stopping voting or outright intimidating people into feeling that they have to go with the strong guy," Clinton said.

Hillary Clinton is exactly who she warned voters about in 2016.  It is not every day that a politico embodies the absolute worst things they allege of their opponent.  But projection appears to be Hillary Clinton's only real talent.  The failed two-time presidential candidate counseled this week that Democratic nominee Joe Biden "should not concede" to President Trump "under any circumstances," even if it means holding out long past Election Day. [...] Clinton added, "Joe Biden should not concede under any circumstances because I think this is going to drag out, and eventually, I do believe he will win if we don't give an inch and if we are as focused and relentless as the other side is."  There is more.  "In the recent Michigan primary," Clinton continued, "I was told, in Detroit, Republicans had 40 lawyers challenging absentee mail-in voting and a local reporter talking to one of the lawyers he knew was told it was a 'dry run' for November."

The Editor says...
As with any Clinton anecdote, don't believe it until you have other sources who can verify it.

Detroit Absentee Ballot Chaos: 'So Inaccurate We Can't Even Attempt to Make Right'.  Wayne County, Michigan, leaders want the Secretary of State to intervene after there was chaos while counting absentee ballots on primary election night. [...] According to state law, precincts cannot be counted where poll books — that is, a list of registered voters in that precinct — are not matched with the ballots.  Data presented to the board said 81 precincts, including 73 absentee voter precincts, were +/- 5 votes "without explanation."

NJ Election Invalidated Over Rampant Voter Fraud... Which I Was Told Doesn't Happen in the US.  Voter fraud really doesn't happen here.  It's a right-wing talking point.  It just doesn't happen here.  These are all the things I've heard about voter fraud peddled by Democrats and their allies in the media.  Well, in Paterson, New Jersey, it shows that a) voter fraud can happen here; and b) what the 2020 election could look like if this mail-in voting scheme pushed by Democrats over COVID is fully enacted.  Folks, we're heading for a train wreck.  The US Postal Service warned at least 40 states that not all of their ballots could be counted in time for the 2020 election.

Democrats 'Go Postal' over Mail-in Ballots.  [Scroll down]  Although Article I, Section 4, Clause 1 (i.e., the Elections Clause) confers on "each State" considerable powers regarding elections, it also says Congress has a say in elections.  Because only citizens can legally vote in elections for federal officials, federal elections should be totally separate from state and local elections.  In other words, when one votes for president and members of Congress, those offices should be the only thing on the ballot.  Two years ago, I wrote that having separate elections for federal officials would be a way to expedite in-person voting.  And that's because with a maximum of only three choices to be made (or even just one if a straight-party option were allowed), voters could vote much more quickly.  You see, the problem with our "mixed" elections, with both federal and non-federal items on the ballot, is that the states and local governments load up the ballot with lots of officials and even initiatives and amendments that force people to take time, hence the hated queues.

Another Potential Election Fiasco:  Vanishing Volunteers at the Polls.  The good news is that leading experts believe it will be safe for nearly all Americans to vote in person at the polls this November.  Dr. Anthony Fauci told National Geographic that those who are medically compromised can vote by mail but that otherwise "there's no reason why we shouldn't be able to vote in person or otherwise."  The bad news is that states are facing a shortage of thousands of poll workers as older volunteers at higher risk for coronavirus cancel plans to show up on Election Day.

Judge Orders New Election in New Jersey After Voter Fraud Charges.  A New Jersey judge this week ordered a new election held for a City Council race, nearly two months after the challenger and three others were charged in a voter fraud scheme.  The May 12 election "was not the fair, free, and full expression of the intent of the voters," Superior Court Judge Ernest Caposela wrote in his three-page ruling.  "It was rife with mail in vote procedural violations constituting nonfeasance and malfeasance."  Third Ward Councilman William McKoy brought the matter to court after challenger Alex Mendez was charged.  Mendez beat McKoy by 245 votes.  Officials said Mendez, in violation of election laws, tried to be the bearer of a ballot in the same district he was trying to win.  Approximately 24 percent of the ballots cast in the Third Ward election were rejected, in comparison to an average of 9.6 percent in other municipal elections.

Hans von Spakovsky warns mail-in balloting puts voters at risk of intimidation by campaigns, activists.  The adoption of universal mail-in balloting in the 2020 election could leave voters vulnerable to arm-twisting by "political guns for hire," former Federal Election Commission member Hans von Spakovsky told "Life, Liberty & Levin" in an interview airing Sunday.  "The purpose of in-person voting, which is the way we have voted since the beginning of the country is because, most importantly, you are filling out your ballot," von Spakovsky told host Mark Levin.  "You're doing it under the supervision of election officials and the observation of poll watchers so that you can ensure that no one is pressuring or coercing you in the polling place to vote a particular way, and then you yourself are putting the ballot in the ballot box.  "All of that is not happening when you vote by mail," von Spakovsky continued.  "The electioneering laws, for example — which prohibit candidates from electioneering anywhere inside or close to a polling place — don't apply to people's homes.  So that means that party activists, campaign staffers, political guns for hire can show up at your home and pressure you to vote a particular way or coerce you to vote a particular way.["]

If the November election is close, expect bad things due to a surge of mail-in ballots.  Donald Trump has warned that the surge in mail-in ballots, part of a deliberate Democrat strategy, could cause severe problems that would leave the result of the presidential election in doubt for days or weeks.  Part of it is voting fraud, something Democrats and the media discount completely.  Part of it is mail delays, which Democrats and the media insanely and falsely blame on Trump.  The third part is invalidation of ballots which has a high rate for mail-in voting in 2020 primaries.  Disregard for this purpose fraud — mail delays and fights over ballot invalidation could leave the results unknown and cause mayhem.

Canvassers demand answers after 72% of Detroit's absentee ballot counts were off.  Recorded ballot counts in 72% of Detroit's absentee voting precincts didn't match the number of ballots cast, spurring officials in Michigan's largest county to ask the state to investigate ahead of a pivotal presidential election.  Without an explanation from Detroit election workers for the mismatches, the Wayne County Board of Canvassers requested this week for Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson's office to examine the "training and processes" used in Detroit's Aug. 4 primary, which one official described as a "perfect storm" of challenges.  The board is charged with certifying election results.  In 46% of all Detroit's precincts — absentee and Election Day — vote counts were out of balance, according to information presented Tuesday to the Wayne County Board of Canvassers.  Specifically, the number of ballots tracked in precinct poll books did not match the number of ballots counted.

The Stench of Mendacity at the Democratic Convention.  President Trump's concern about huge numbers of ballots being mailed to nonexistent voters or to the wrong addresses and filled out and returned through the post office fraudulently by party organizers is well-founded.  He has appointed a postmaster general with a mandate to shape up the Postal Service, but there is no reason for optimism that in its present condition it could handle 75 million presidential election ballots coming and going.  The occasional deployment of federal marshals and national guardsmen has been to prevent urban guerrillas and hooligans from burning down federal buildings and destroying the monuments to America's great men.  Trump expressed concern that the Democratic plan to flood the country with posted ballots and harvest them to their own advantage might provoke litigation that would not allow the winner to be identified by inauguration day.  He has said that, of course, he would leave office on January 20 if he lost the election.  This entire argument is an unutterable fabrication.

Judge Orders Election Redo After NJ Democrats Charged with Voter Fraud.  A judge ordered a do-over election held in November for a city council seat in Paterson, New Jersey, due to the apparent winner and a sitting councilman being charged with voter fraud.  State Superior Court Judge Ernest Caposela issued the ruling on Wednesday, according to the Associated Press.

California hires stealth Dem activists to manage 'non-partisan' mail-in ballots.  As the state of California prepares to send mail-in ballots to more than 20 million registered voters ahead of the general election, concerned citizens have raised questions about the role of hired experts with ties to partisan Democratic groups. [...] The Democracy Fund, hired by Secretary of State Alex Padilla in May to oversee the mail-in ballot program in California until January 15, 2021, purports to be a non-partisan organization.  In California, the state's top election monitors for the general election includes Jennifer Morrell, president of the Democracy Fund since 2018, and Noah Praetz, the former director of elections in Cook County, Illinois, which has a reputation of voter fraud going back decades.  However, the Democracy Fund's primary sponsor, billionaire Pierre Omidyar, has given millions of dollars to leftist causes and media outlets and Democratic Party candidates and groups.  Omidyar was one of the biggest donors to the NeverTrump Political Action Committee (PAC) during the 2016 election.

Judge Orders New Recount in Paterson City Council Race Determined By Just One Vote.  A judge has ordered a second recount in a Paterson City Council race that was decided by just one vote, a county spokesman said — amid a vote-by-mail election marred by widespread fraud allegations.  The recount in the contest between Mohammed Akhtaruzzaman and Shahin Khalique will be held June 19 at 9 a.m., Passaic Board of Elections spokesman Keith Furlong said Monday [8/17/2020].  The city's vote-by-mail election has been plagued by widespread voter fraud claims already under multiple investigations.  News of a second recount in that race came just one day after an incumbent candidate formally contested the results of his race, which he lost his seat.

Final Day of the Democrat Pros and Cons — As PR Pros Combine to Con America.  [Scroll down]  Yes, of course we have had "absentee voting" for years.  The country is experienced in conducting that component of a larger election.  But we have not previously had a mail-in election for 130 million voters.  Are we ready for it?  Is a presidential election suited to be the first time to try such a massive change in our nationwide voting?  It certainly is within reason to raise concerns, to ask the questions.  Yet, the Democrats mock the President's questions and concerns by having an Instagram lip-syncer, Sarah Cooper, on screen.  Her shtik is cute in the juvenile way that third-graders are amused when a student is called up to the front of class and mimics the teacher.  Again, these are the same Democrats who still do not accept the outcome of the last election, conducted with more traditional procedures and, as we now know after two years and $32 million of Robert Mueller, without Russian-induced voter fraud.

Trump Campaign Sues Three Iowa Counties over Mail-in Ballot Request Forms 'Pre-Filled' with Information.  The Trump campaign is suing three Iowa counties over their absentee ballots, which arrived "pre-filled with information" — something the campaign claims violates Secretary of State Paul Pate's (R) instruction to mail blank forms to voters.  The Trump campaign has launched lawsuits against Johnson, Linn, and most recently, Woodbury County over the mailing of absentee ballot request forms featuring pre-filled information, including "names, dates of birth and a voting pin number that few people know," according to the Associated Press (AP).

Voter Fraud:  Man Arrested in L.A. for Voting 3 Times as His Dead Mother.  A man from Norwalk, California, in Los Angeles County was arrested and charged last month for voting three times as his dead mother, as well as voting for himself, the Los Angeles District Attorney announced in a statement on Tuesday [8/18/2020]. [...] The charges were announced, coincidentally, in the midst of the Democratic National Convention, as Democrats accused President Donald Trump of exaggerating the potential for voter fraud in his push against automatic vote-by-mail.

The Audacity of Chutzpah.  [Scroll down]  Democrats are attacking President Trump over emergency funding for the US Postal Service — which has had little role in elections until this year for a very good reason:  local election boards are designed to minimize the possibility of a politically appointed national Postmaster-General having much influence at the precinct level.  This is why we have the secret ballot, polling booths, and bipartisan poll-watchers.  And why both parties traditionally opposed vote-by-mail schemes in the past — because it would be an open invitation to fraud and undermine the legitimacy of the process.  Every fraudulent vote cancels out a genuine vote, depriving citizens of their electoral rights.  Which makes voter fraud a form of voter suppression.  Thus, mail-in voting ensures that every vote doesn't count.

Has Someone Else Been Using Your Vote?  After the 2018 General Election, I surprisingly discovered that I was still listed as an active registered voter in Ohio.  I had moved from Ohio to South Carolina six years earlier!  I also discovered that my father, who passed away in 2017, was still listed as an active registered voter in Florida (a year after his death).  Armed with this information, I decided to conduct an experiment.  I compiled a spreadsheet of deceased individuals that I found from online obituaries.  My goal was simple.  I was interested in looking at deceased individuals from my county and reconciling those with the registered voter logs.  After doing this for over a year, I was able to find 67 deceased active registered voters (in my county) that were never removed from the active registered voter database.  Soon, the word got out about my findings with the deceased voters.  A group of volunteers began combing through online obituaries to see how many deceased active registered voters we could find in the state of South Carolina.  To date, we have discovered 650+ deceased active registered voters in only 6 of the 46 South Carolina counties.

Trump indicates election won't be 'fair' if universal mail-in voting allowed.  President Trump, in a Monday morning interview with "Fox & Friends," said the U.S. is "never going to have a fair" presidential election if universal mail-in voting is widely allowed.  Trump reacted to media pundits who discussed the possibility that he may refuse to leave office if he didn't accept the result of the presidential election.  Trump warned the election may be tainted by fraud stemming from mail-in voting.  "I have to tell you, that if you go with this universal mail-in ... tens of millions of ballots being sent to everybody and their dogs, dogs are getting them okay, people that have been dead for 25 years are getting them, you have to see what's happening.  Then you're never going to have a fair election," Trump said.  He later added that if universal mail-in voting were allowed to go forward, it would be "the greatest scam of all time."

Imagine 'Antifa Ballot-Harvesters.' It Isn't Hard To Do.  Think about the potential for antifa "ballot-harvesters." Even before Saturday, when Congresswoman Ayana Presley called for more riots and "unrest" on America's streets over mail-in ballots and U.S. Postal Service (USPS) funding, I worried about the mob and your ballot.  "Ballot-harvester" is a term for a person allowed to pick up someone else's ballot and, in some cases, fill it in and take it to the polling place, elections center, or post office.  See the list of states below and their rules on other people "harvesting" your ballot.  At least 27 states allow someone else to handle your ballot.  In 2018, in Orange County, Calif., an entire congressional delegation in that reliably rock-ribbed conservative area was lost due to ballot-harvesters collecting and, in some cases, filling out ballots for others.

Peter Navarro:  Dems Want USPS to Be 'Ballot-Harvesting Service'.  Sunday [8/16/2020] on Fox News Channel's "Fox & Friends Weekend," White House trade and manufacturing adviser Peter Navarro accused Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) of trying to turn the U.S. Postal Service into a "ballot harvesting service."  Navarro said, "Let's think about it.  First, the irony of what's getting Chuck and Nancy back to Washington; it's not concern about the working men and women of America, who really need our help right now.  They want to come back so they can rename the post office the United States ballot harvesting service.  So it's unfortunate we get these — in the middle of the election — we get all these new cycle things going on that they seize upon."

Trump backers more likely to vote in person than Biden supporters: poll.  Nearly half of Joe Biden's backers said they plan to mail in a ballot for their candidate, while two-thirds of President Trump's supporters plan to vote in person on Nov. 3, according to a poll released Monday [8/17/2020].  Only 26 percent of Biden voters said they would do so in person at a polling place on Election Day, with 47 percent planning to mail their ballot and another 21 percent opting to cast a vote at an early in-person voting site, an NBC News/Wall Street Journal survey found.  In contrast, 66 percent of Trump voters will go to the polls in person and just 11 percent intend to vote by mail, while 20 percent will vote early in person.

Why We Can't Trust Postal Workers With Our Ballots.  If you are queasy about entrusting the U.S. Postal Service with a vastly expanded role in our electoral system in the midst of a crucial election, the following news will exacerbate your nausea.  Last Friday, the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) followed the lead of the American Postal Workers Union (APWU) by endorsing presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. [...] Even if we assume that most postal workers are nonpartisan, there is enormous potential for chaos associated with a wholesale increase in absentee voting.  The leadership of the USPS has already warned most states that millions may be disfranchised by late delivery of ballots.  The Washington Post reports, "The U.S. Postal Service recently sent detailed letters to 46 states and D.C. warning that it cannot guarantee that all ballots cast by mail for the November election will arrive in time to be counted."  As alarming as such warnings are, they aren't as perilous as a politicized postal service.  Trump voters simply can't trust their ballots to mail carriers represented by unions that endorse his opponent.

Official Democrat Party Organization Urges Foreign Ex-Pats to Mail In Two Ballots — "It's Okay" — They Claim.  The Democrat Party is encouraging Ex-Pats to complete and mail in two ballots in this year's election — "It's okay" they claim!  The Democrat Party is sending out ballots to the members abroad and blatantly claiming it's okay to send in two ballots.  In a memo to fellow Democrats, the organization labeled DemocratsAbroad.org is encouraging Democrats to vote more than once in the upcoming election.  Democrats Abroad is the official Democratic Party arm for the millions of Americans living outside the United States.

A Sampling of Recent Election Fraud Cases from Across the United States.  The Heritage Foundation's Election Fraud Database presents a sampling of recent proven instances of election fraud from across the country.  This database is not an exhaustive or comprehensive list.  It does not capture all cases and certainly does not capture reported instances that are not investigated or prosecuted.  It is intended to demonstrate the vulnerabilities in the election system and the many ways in which fraud is committed.  In addition to diluting the votes of legitimate voters, fraud can have an impact in close elections, and we have many close elections in this country.  Preventing, deterring, and prosecuting election fraud is essential to protecting the integrity of our voting process.  Reforms intended to ensure such integrity do not disenfranchise voters and, in fact, protect their right to vote.  Winning elections leads to political power and the incentives to take advantage of security vulnerabilities are great, so it is important that we take reasonable steps to make it hard to cheat, while making it easy for legitimate voters to vote.

Michigan Rejects 846 Mailed Ballots 'Because the Voter Was Dead'.  Michigan clerks rejected 10,694 mailed ballots during the August 4 primary.  Of those, 846 ballots were not accepted "because the voter was dead," the Detroit News reported.  Further, 2,225 ballots were denied because there was no voter signature on the envelope, and 1,111 votes were discarded because the voter moved to a new address after submitting the ballot.  The state claimed the dead voters died between the time they submitted the ballot and when it was counted.

The Editor says...
Or maybe they were already dead before the ballots were submitted.  It is difficult to believe that 846 people — healthy enough to mark a ballot — died in the relatively short voting window for the Michigan primary.

What mail-in voting crisis?  Nobody has to vote by mail.  With their characteristic sick Alinskyite tactic of targeting political opponents at their homes, a very socially undistanced mob of hysterics targeted the postmaster general, claiming that President Trump was conspiring to destroy the election through the dysfunction of the postal service. [...] Anyone who thinks there's a problem with the postal service has a right and obligation to simply bypass the unreliable agency and voting the way people have done since voting was invented — by getting in line at a polling station, placing that involuntarily received mail-in ballot into the counting box, and demanding and taking a receipt.

Fauci: In-Person Voting in November Can Be Done Safely.  Voters can safely vote in-person in the upcoming election if proper precautions are followed, according to a top infectious disease expert.  "I think if carefully done, according to the guidelines, there's no reason that I can see why that not be the case," Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said during an event broadcast Thursday [8/13/2020].  "For example, when you look at going to a grocery store now in many regions and counties and cities that are doing it correctly, they have X's every six or more feet.  And it says, "Don't leave this spot until the person in front of you left their spot."  And you can do that, if you go and wear a mask, if you observe the physical distancing, and don't have a crowded situation, there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to do that," he added, after being asked about in-person voting at the National Geographic event.

Post Office warns states across US about mail voting.  The U.S. Postal Service is warning states coast to coast that it cannot guarantee all ballots cast by mail for the November election will arrive in time to be counted, even if mailed by state deadlines, raising the possibility that millions of voters could be disenfranchised.

The Editor says...
You won't be "disenfranchised" if you show up at a polling place on Election Day with a valid photo ID card in your hand.

The Postal Service Isn't a Voting System.  The mail system is running at a deficit and it was never intended as a massive voting service.  The Constitution does grant Congress the power to "establish Post Offices and post Roads" (oh for the days when Congress had to be granted the power to create an entire institution by the Constitution, when it was assumed that it did not have the power to do so wholesale), but it's not its responsibility to provide for elections.  States and municipalities have the option of bringing into being their own delivery system for the job.  And if you think I'm being facetious, Amazon built its own delivery system, built on the Fed-Ex model, by using contractors and subcontractors, within a vanishingly short time.  Uber, Lyft, and multiple food delivery services operate on a nationwide basis.  If there are apps for mobile dog grooming and car washing, how hard would it be to arrange mass delivery and pickup of voting materials?  Surely even the Democrat states and cities that... sorry.  Right.  They couldn't be expected to manage what a bunch of Stanford dropouts do on a regular basis.  Not that such a system would be remotely trustworthy, but states like Nevada signing off on ballot harvesting obviously don't care about trustworthy.

Election Day will become Election Week.  Lyndon B. Johnson would have loved this!
Pennsylvania asks court to allow ballots to be received three days after Election Day due to Postal Service delays.  To be clear, the request here isn't to let Pennsylvania voters mail ballots after polls close.  They need to be postmarked before then.  The request is to have the court extend the deadline for when ballots need to be received in order to be counted, which by law is 8 p.m. on Election Day.  Right now, the Postal Service recommends that ballots be mailed a full week before Election Day, i.e.  October 27, in order to ensure that they're received on time.  But Pennsylvania law allows voters to *apply* for a ballot up until October 27.  That means many voters won't even have ballots in hand until after the USPS's recommended deadline.

The Editor says...
[#1] If you wait until the last minute to apply for a mail-in ballot, you bear the responsibility if you don't get a chance to vote.  [#2] Which is more difficult to produce:  Counterfeit money, or counterfeit ballots and postmarks?

Minneapolis tallies record voter turnout in primary; 65% of ballots were cast early.  Minneapolis voters turned out in record numbers for Tuesday's primary, according to a city spokesperson.  In all, 130,888 ballots were cast, and 85,217, or 65%, were cast early.  It marks the first time more people voted early than on the day of an election in Minneapolis, the city said.  Turnout in this year's election shattered the previous record for a primary, which was set in 2018 with 101,266 ballots cast.  Under a new state law, all ballots must be postmarked by Election Day and be received in the mail no later than two days of the primary.  About 8,300 mail-in ballots were delivered on Wednesday and Thursday and were added to the results from Tuesday night, the city said.

Election Lawsuit:  Plaintiffs Say They Are Afraid to Vote, While Posting Activism on Social Media.  As the country has experienced the unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, there have been sweeping attempts to fundamentally change the way the nation votes.  Many states have altered and loosened the requirements to vote absentee and by mail, while critics have argued that mail-in and full absentee voting increases the possibility of voter fraud.  In recent months, Democrats across the country have made vote-by-mail a tenet of their campaigns, arguing that millions of Americans will be disenfranchised if they aren't permitted to vote by mail because they are terrified to leave their houses due to the virus and the potential to spread it to vulnerable populations.  UncoverDC columnist Brian Cates showcased some of the hypocrisy in a recent column.  President Trump has vociferously argued that mail-in voting would invite a myriad of issues, and be rife with fraud.  His critics have attacked, claiming that mail-in voting is a safe and secure way to hold elections, despite numerous examples to the contrary.  In fact, just this May a batch of absentee South Carolina ballots destined for Charleston ended up in Maryland, and before that, Greenville, SC absentee voters received the wrong ballots in the mail.

The Editor says...
If you are afraid to leave your house because there might be viruses in the air, you should not vote.

Trump Is Right About Mail-In Ballots.  I begin with a personal story to make a greater point.  Two weeks ago, I mailed an 8-by-10-inch envelope from a Miami post office to an address in New York state.  The postage was correct, as was the address and ZIP code.  One week passed and the recipient emailed to say the envelope had not arrived, so I mailed another one.  Last week, he wrote to say that the second one had arrived.  A few days after that he wrote again to say the one mailed earlier had finally been delivered after a 10-day delay.  Normally, a first-class mailing would not have taken more than three business days.  Multiply my experience by the 100 million that could be expected from an all-mail-in election and the problem should be obvious.

Mail-in Voting and the Future of American Democracy.  It's been twenty years since the Bush-Gore election recount debacle in Florida with its chads, butterfly ballots, lawsuits, delay, and uncertainty.  Since 2000, the World Trade Center has been replaced with a gleaming new tower, babies have been born and grown into adulthood, smartphones have been invented and become something on the order of essential bodily appendages, and despite all that the supposedly greatest democracy of all time still has backwards easily-corrupted election systems.  After twenty years, this lingering situation is either a colossal failure of government or it is deliberate.  And since elections are conducted by the states, the guilty party in all this is... the states.

Puerto Rico gov sues elections commission in primary debacle.  Puerto Rico's governor on Tuesday added new demands to conflicting proposals for rescuing the U.S. territory's botched primary election, suing to insist on an election re-do at all polling centers that opened late — not just those where a lack of ballots kept people from voting[.]  The lawsuit filed by Gov. Wanda Vázquez also seeks to stop the release of unconfirmed results from centers where voting did take place on Sunday.  The island's Supreme Court agreed to hear the case.  A failure to supply ballots and other issues kept people from voting at a little under half of the island's 110 polling places.

RNC files emergency request with Supreme Court over requirements for mail-in ballots.  The Republican National Committee has asked the Supreme Court to intervene in a case involving relaxing some signature and witness requirements for mail-in ballots.  The case involves several voting rights groups and Rhode Island officials.  The RNC and the Republican Party of Rhode Island have asked for a decision before mail-in ballots are due to go out Aug. 12.  Republicans are challenging moves to eliminate the state's requirements for witness and notary requirements for voting by mail because of the coronavirus crisis.  The respondents in the case are Common Cause Rhode Island, the League of Women Voters of Rhode Island, the secretary of state of Rhode Island and the members of the Rhode Island Board of Elections.

Half a million incorrect absentee ballot applications sent across Virginia, including to dead people.  A non-profit group says more than a half-million inaccurate applications for absentee ballots were mistakenly sent across Virginia this week — including to dead voters, errant relatives and even a pet — in an unprecedented mailing flub that has heightened concerns about the integrity of expanding mail-in voting efforts.  The mistakes raised alarms with recipients as diverse as election monitors, members of the League of Women Voters and a retired FBI agent.  The Center for Voter Information, the nonprofit group that sent the mailers with pre-filled absentee ballots, is now apologizing.  The Center for Voter Information said the absentee application mailings were sent to "eligible voters" in the state and "some of the mailers may have directed the return envelopes" for the absentee applications to the wrong election offices.

NY Democrats are moving to lock in one-party rule — maybe forever.  This is evident in all their perfidy and skulduggery.  This has all the hallmarks of a tinpot dictatorship.  And while this is New York State, rest assured the totalitarian party will like nothing more than to roll this plan out nationally.

Mark Levin calls journalists 'liars' for not reporting on vote-by-mail issues.  Conservative radio show host Mark Levin slammed journalists as "liars" for a lack of reporting on cases in which mail-in ballots caused disruptions during elections.  "Let me give the media some evidence, from the media," Levin said during an appearance on Fox & Friends on Sunday morning [8/9/2020] before rattling off cases in which mail-in ballots caused voting disruption.  "Here's a piece in Just The News.  Half a million, half a million, by my calculation, that's 500,000, incorrect absentee ballot applications sent across Virginia, including to dead people.  Look at this one, 'Nevada sent more than 200,000 mail and primary ballots to the wrong addresses.' Wow."  "By my calculation, that's now 700,000," he continued.  "'84,000 mail-in ballots disqualified in New York City primary vote.'  Wow. ... California, we checked at 102,000 mail-in ballots because of mistakes.  'New Jersey, all mail-in vote debacle is a warning for November.'  Here's one, 'Developed countries 'ban' mail-in voting, US would be 'laughing stock.'"

Group sends hundreds of thousands of 'potentially misleading' ballot applications.  A voter registration group is sending hundreds of thousands of mail-in and absentee ballots to voters in states that do not automatically mail the ballot applications themselves.  The Center for Voter Information, a 501(c)4 nonprofit advocacy organization, is responsible for the mail-in ballot applications, in an apparent attempt to promote the voting method President Trump has repeatedly condemned.  The mailings contain legitimate ballot applications, but at first glance appear to be from a government source, which is "potentially misleading" for recipients, according to election officials.

The Coming Mail-In Balloting Scam.  [...] They have been successful in getting the American population habituated and conditioned to wearing a mask.  We dutifully complied.  Next, they are telling us we need to be vaccinated and a computer geek is leading the charge.  We will probably comply.  New York and New Jersey toss infected people into nursing homes like hand grenades to reduce the a demographic which would probably vote conservative.  Plus the Nursing home industry is a very strong lobby in all states and they can bill at higher rates for COVID patients.  Plus they can gather personal data from the deceased.  Then the Democrats want to close schools.  This is another control tactic aimed at the nuclear family, not to mention the economy, while denying people a venue to cast their ballots.

This probably has a lot to do with voter fraud:
Fake driver's licenses flooding into US from China, other countries, US says.  Counterfeit documents are giving criminals a license to commit a host of offenses, including terrorism, U.S. officials say — and young adults who are lax with their personal information may be their biggest enablers.  In the first six months of 2020, Customs and Borden Protection officers seized nearly 20,000 counterfeit U.S. driver's licenses at Chicago's O'Hare airport alone, according to a report.  The 19,888 licenses and other fake documents were included in 1,513 overseas shipments, mostly from China and Hong Kong, CBP said, according to FOX 5 in New York City.  Others were from South Korea and Britain.

Report:  Shipment of Nearly 20 Thousand Fake U.S. Drivers Licenses From China Were Just Confiscated at Chicago Airport.  Why are the Chinese making so many fake U.S. driver licenses?  That's a disturbing little tidbit to discover, especially right before an election, right?  According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the bulk of these fake U.S. IDs flooding into the country come from China and Hong Kong, with the rest coming in from South Korea and the U.K.  Officials in Chicago just confiscated a shipment of these fake IDs totaling nearly 20 thousand.

Nevada Sent More Than 200K Mail-In Primary Ballots to Wrong Addresses.  More than one-sixth of the mail-in ballots sent to voters in Nevada's largest county during the 2020 primary went to outdated addresses, according to a new watchdog report.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation, an election integrity group, reviewed the 1.3 million mail-in ballots Nevada's Clark County sent during the June primary.  It found that more than 223,000 of the ballots were sent to outdated addresses, leading the postal service to designate them as "undeliverable."  The undeliverable ballots accounted for 17 percent of all ballots mailed to registered voters.  Nearly 75 percent of Nevada's total population resides in the county, which includes Las Vegas.

Trump Campaign Sues Nevada Over Mail-In Voting Law.  President Trump has doubled down on his criticism of mail-in ballots.  His reelection campaign and the Republican National Committee have sued Nevada to block its new law, which would require election officials to send mail-in ballots to all of the state's registered voters.  "I mean, honestly, it's a disgrace," said the president.  "Universal mail-in ballots is going to be a great embarrassment to our country."  In a tweet, the president claimed Nevada's mail-in voting will be a corrupt disaster if it's not ended by the courts.

25 percent of ballots in Brooklyn June primaries [are] invalid.  A staggering 25 percent of mail-in ballots cast in Brooklyn for June's primary elections were declared invalid, it was revealed on Tuesday, as Mayor Bill de Blasio called on the Board of Elections to shape up by November.  More than 120,000 absentee ballots were filed in Kings County for the June 23 primary but about 30,000 were initially disqualified — and it wasn't the fault of the voters, according to Rodneyse Bichotte, head of the Brooklyn Democratic Party.  Bichotte — also a state assemblywoman whose district includes Flatbush, Ditmas Park and Midwood — said the disqualifying issues included a lack of postmark or late arrival.

Over 80,000 mail-in ballots [have been] disqualified in NYC primary mess.  The mail-in ballots of more than 84,000 New York City Democrats who sought to vote in the presidential primary were disqualified, according to new figures released by the Board of Elections.  The city BOE received 403,103 mail-in ballots for the June 23 Democratic presidential primary.  But the certified results released Wednesday revealed that only 318,995 mail-in ballots were counted.  That means 84,108 ballots were not counted or invalidated — 21 percent of the total.

How the Media Could Get the Election Story Wrong.  I spoke last week to executives, TV hosts and election analysts across leading American newsrooms, and I was struck by the blithe confidence among some top managers and hosts, who generally said they've handled complicated elections before and can do so again.  And I was alarmed by the near panic among some of the people paying the closest attention — the analysts and producers trying, and often failing, to get answers from state election officials about how and when they will count the ballots and report results.  "The nerds are freaking out," said Brandon Finnigan, the founder of Decision Desk HQ, which delivers election results to media outlets.  "I don't think it's penetrated enough in the average viewer's mind that there's not going to be an election night.  The usual razzmatazz of a panel sitting around discussing election results — that's dead," he said.

Forget voter fraud — the mail-in process itself is the biggest worry.  It's not voter fraud; it's the process itself — the laws and the lawyers, the incompetence and the bungling bureaucrats — that makes mail-in ballots an almost inevitable nightmare.  As The [New York] Post reports, as many as 25 percent of the 120,000 mailed-in ballots cast in Brooklyn alone for June's primaries may have been disqualified, according to the borough's Democratic Party boss.  Some lacked a postmark or a signature or arrived late, even though voters mailed them with sufficient time.  On Tuesday, the city Board of Elections technically certified the results of the June 23 primary election — six weeks after the fact, in accordance with election law.  But the results in some races may yet change.

Evidence Mounts That Mail-In Voting Will Bring Only Fraud And Chaos.  For months we've heard reassurances from Democrats that the nation can, and should, vote by mail this November.  It won't, we've been told, result in an increase in voter fraud, and we can count on the Postal Service to handle the workload.  And, of course, voting by mail is vital to prevent more coronavirus deaths.  It's becoming painfully obvious that none of that is true, and that the Democrats' only real motivation is to swing key elections in their favor.

Local News Experiment With Mail-In Ballots Ends In Disaster:  "I Just Don't Trust The Mail".  How long might it take for your mail-in ballot to actually arrive and be counted?  CBS News decided to test it, sending 100 mock ballots simulating a hundred voters in locations all across Philadelphia to a post office box.  After some delays, 97 arrived.  In a close election, 3% could be pivotal, especially in what's expected to be a record year for mail-in-voting.  [Video clip]

Trump vows challenge to Nevada bill expanding mail-in voting.  President Trump on Monday [8/3/2020] vowed to challenge a bill approved Sunday by the Nevada legislature that would expand mail-in voting in the state for the November general election.  Trump accused Gov. Steve Sisolak (D), who is expected to sign the bill into law, of using the novel coronavirus to "steal" the election and make it "impossible" for Republicans to win in Nevada.  Nevada is one of the few states won by Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in 2016 that the Trump campaign thinks could be competitive in 2020.  Minnesota and New Hampshire are two other Trump targets.

New NV Law Allows Democrats to Enter Nursing Homes, Vote for Dementia Patients without Their Signature.  Radical Democrat Governor Sisolak and Nevada Democrats called a special session this past weekend with no public present and inside of 24 hours they rammed through mail-in voting and ballot harvesting.  Democrats did this during the special leglislative session.  The Democrats are going to cheat at all costs to keep the state from going to Donald Trump!  The new Democrat law allows people not related to or friends with elderly voters to fill out their ballots and turn them in to be counted!

The Real Reason Democrats are Pushing for Mail-In Ballots.  Aside from mail-in ballots being ripe for cheating, there are other more subtle forces at play here.  CBS did their own vote-by-mail experiment and surprisingly, at least to CBS, discovered "potential problems" such as "3 percent of voters were effectively disenfranchised."  That could be enough to tip a close election.  RealClearPolitics reports, "28 million mail-in ballots went missing in the last four elections."  Someone should ask Mitt Romney for comment, if he is not too busy marching with the Black Lives Matter Marxists.  How many of those ballots had his name on them?  Or John McCain's?  Mail-in ballots have been in effect in my home state of Colorado since 2013.  Local media described this as "smart."  It was certainly smart for Democrats.  A couple of years later, not coincidently, the Daily Beast observed that Colorado is, "starting to look more blue than purple."

Why Voting By Mail Imperils Biden More Than Trump.  The Democrats are obviously committed to using the COVID-19 pandemic as the latest pretext for achieving their longtime goal of widespread voting by mail.  They may, however, end up outsmarting themselves.  The Democrats are so invested in their revisionist history concerning Bush v. Gore that they have forgotten why SCOTUS actually stopped the Florida recounts on December 12, 2000.  That was the "safe harbor" date after which the state's electors may not have been counted.  Federal law requires that states must resolve post-election disputes (e.g. recounts) within 35 days after Election Day or risk disfranchising their voters.  In 2000, that would have changed the outcome of the presidential election.

Trump Is Right to Suspect Voter Fraud.  Known vulnerabilities include:
  •   the old touch screen (DRE) machines.  Yes, they still exist in many states. [...]
  •   State voter data bases are almost all online.  At the DEFCON 2019 hackers convention in Los Vegas, two 11-year olds hacked into a replica of the Florida state voter data base in just fifteen minutes. [...]
  •   Internet-based transmission of election-night counts.  While most election districts have erected firewalls to protect this data or claim to have "air-gapped" their systems from the Internet, hackers can penetrate these defenses.
But the vulnerability that most worries me is the software in the optical scanners used to "count" paper ballots.  People tend to think that paper ballots are secure.  They are not.  In fact, they are almost NEVER actually counted.  As I learned while I was researching "The Election Heist," what's tabulated are the ballot images — i.e., PDF files of the paper ballots generated by scanner software.  What shocked me even more was to discover that most supervisors of elections are not aware of this.

Liberals can't deny the complications of counting mail-in ballots.  [President] Trump insists that the plans of some states, such as California and Colorado, to counter the pandemic by mailing a ballot to every registered voter is a formula for disaster.  It will, the president says, guarantee mayhem and cast doubts on the November results.  Nonsense, shout the usual suspects.  That's unfounded, he's making it up, there's no evidence, blah blah blah.  Ah, but there is evidence.  Lots of it, and right in front of us, thanks to the continuing saga of two New York congressional races.  Five weeks after the Democratic primaries, no winners have been declared.  Results for two others were delayed for three weeks.  The major problem was the volume of mailed-in ballots — more than 400,000 across the city, against the 23,000 received and validated four years ago, The Washington Post reports.  The Board of Elections, creaky, sloppy and unreliable on the best of days, is swamped.

The Democrats Plan on Stealing the Election.  At present, the Democrats are attempting to unseat an incumbent president by devising a plan where their candidate doesn't have to be seen in public for most of the general election campaign. [...] On the rare occasions when the idiot in the basement is let off-leash by his wife and handlers, he's babbling about President Trump trying to "steal" the election.  He keeps saying it, too, most recently at a virtual fundraiser hosted by one of the celebrities Hillary Clinton thought would wish her to victory. [...] In each one of these "steal the election" rants, Biden immediately rambles on about mail-in ballots.  Again, that's all they've got and they know it.  That's where the real election-stealing can happen and it's not going to be done by the Republicans.  The Democrats have shown — especially in the Trump era — that most of what they throw at the Republicans is just a bunch of twisted political psychological projection.

Local CBS Newser tested voting by mail and found big problems.  A local CBS News affiliate did a vote-by-mail experiment to find out what might happen when people vote by mail in November.  In short, 3% of ballots went missing.  [Video clip]

4 LA men admit to Skid Row voter-fraud scheme, DA announces.  Four men have admitted to offering homeless people in Los Angeles money and cigarettes in exchange for false and forged signatures on ballot petitions and voter registration forms, authorities said Wednesday [7/29/2020].  Richard Howard, 64, and Louis Thomas Wise, 37, pleaded no contest last week to one felony count each of subscribing a fictitious name, or the name of another to an initiative petition and registration of a fictitious person, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said.  Christopher Joseph Williams, 41, and Nickey Demelvin Huntley, 45, each pleaded no contest to one felony count of circulating an initiative or petition containing false, forged or fictitious names.  Four defendants — one of whom is still being sought by authorities — have yet to be sentenced, the district attorney's office told Fox News.

Four men admit to paying homeless people in LA's Skid Row cash and cigarettes in exchange for forged signatures on ballots and voter registration forms.  Four men have admitted to paying homeless people cash and cigarettes in exchange for forged signatures on ballot petitions and voter registration forms in Los Angeles' Skid Row neighborhood.  Richard Howard, Louis Thomas Wise, Christopher Joseph Williams and Nickey Demelvin were arrested in November 2018 for their participation in the voter fraud scheme during the election that year and in 2016.  The LA County District Attorney's Office on Wednesday announced that Howard, 64, and Wise, 37, pleaded no contest to one felony count each of registration of a fictitious person and subscribing a fictitious name or the name of another to an initiative petition.

The Latest, Fast-Moving Developments in the 2020 Election Season.  I often write about the latest developments in the election area, including court decisions and legislative and regulatory changes.  An unprecedented number of lawsuits have been filed by the radical left (at last count over 150 and counting) trying to use the COVID-19 health crisis as an excuse to nullify state requirements like voter ID laws.  They are also trying to force states to make numerous unwise changes, such as taking away the ability of voters to vote in person by forcing them to vote by mail.

Projection:
Unhinged Democrats Say Trump Will Steal the Election.  This is just to illustrate the sourpuss attitude.  The Democrat Party just can't come to grips with the fact that they can't beat Trump.  They are destroying this country.  They're destroying the economy.  They're destroying everything, simply because they cannot accept that they lost.  They cannot accept that they were rejected.  And they are literally destroying everything they can to make you pay the price for rejecting them. [Transcript]  Folks, it is hard to actually stay civil and react to this.  You notice what these people say in this bite.  John Heilemann, journalist:  a general attempt through intimidation, through force, to try to steal this election.  A dress rehearsal.  A trial run for an attempt at voter intimidation on Election Day.  They have been accusing Trump of this for four years lying through their teeth.  They've been accusing Trump of colluding and meddling with Russia.  They have been saying that they election of 2016 was illegitimate, when it wasn't.  These people have done more to damage the integrity of our electoral system than Vladimir Putin could ever dream of.  The Democrat Party and their allies in the media have done more to literally wreck the honor and the integrity and the trustworthiness of American presidential elections than any saboteur could ever dream of.

Proof! Voter Fraud Is Real, Cases Mount Up As Dems Deny Truth.  Media pundits, liberal politicians, and countless others who deliberately ignore facts continue to tell the American people that voter fraud is some sort of myth.  It's not.  They are liars.  Just the News compiled a list of the latest, and most disgusting acts of voter fraud by reviewing court cases and recent indictments, but these are no means the only ones:  The schemes have ranged from old fashion ballot box stuffing to absentee and mail-in ballot fraud.

Vote by Mail fails when postal workers are corrupt, look at Washington State.  Washington State has been entirely vote by mail since 2011, but most of the 39 counties started vote by mail in 2005, which was different than the absentee voter process, which had been allowed for some voters.  The 2005 transition to vote by mail became legal due to changes enacted by the legislature after the 2004 Rossi/Gregoire voting fiasco and multiple recounts which were originally won by Republican Dino Rossi until a final "misplaced" box of ballots was discovered in King County and suddenly Democrat Christine Gregoire won and then re-counting was stopped, of course.  Washington State's primary election this year is held on August 4th.  However, since the state is entirely vote by mail, the ballots were mailed last week to all registered voters weeks in advance (in King County, sometimes voters get 3 or more bonus ballots — but nobody knows why).

Like Rats, Democrats Feeding on Despair.  For four years now, Democrats in Washington have lectured the country about the paramount importance of integrity in elections.  We have been hectored over and over about the sanctity of every vote.  Today, these very same Democrats are desperately urging that the 2020 federal elections be conducted by the U.S. Postal Service.  Set aside the shoddy record the post office has at delivering mail and the fact that it has never conducted an election in history.  Just look at the small part they have played in elections already.  A month after New York's Democratic primary, races have still not been settled — because of lost ballots that have been lost, stolen or mishandled.  Turns out, Democrats only care about election "interference" when they are peddling elaborate lies about how such mythical interference hurt them.

USPS Fails Mail-In Ballot Test.  CBS News decided to test the system upon which the government will entrust the sanctity of the ballot this November.  And the U.S. Postal Service flubbed it.  This is not about gaming the system, or voter fraud, or stuffing the mail with fake ballots from illegal aliens.  This is about the competency of the USPS to deliver official ballots sent through the mail on time, and to the right people.  They proved that the 100 million or more Americans who plan to mail in their ballots should not expect their vote to be counted unless they mail it weeks prior to the election deadlines in each state.  And even then there's no guarantee it will be processed and counted.

Yes America, there is voter fraud.  These recent cases prove it.  Many news media, political activists and social media giants have gotten on the bandwagon that voter fraud is fiction.  It is not.  A review of court cases and recent indictments — including one this week in Philadelphia against a former congressman — finds there have been at least four dozen cases in criminal and civil court since the last presidential election in 2016 in which voter fraud has led to charges, convictions, lawsuits or plea deals.  The schemes have ranged from old fashion ballot box stuffing to absentee and mail-in ballot fraud.  Here are a dozen of the more egregious examples. [...]

Indictment of Former Democrat Congressman Widens Voter Fraud Case in Philadelphia.  A voter fraud scandal in Philadelphia appears to be expanding with the indictment this week of a former Democratic congressman and more charges expected.  U.S. Attorney William M. McSwain of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania announced Thursday that former Rep. Michael "Ozzie" Myers, 77, had been indicted on multiple counts, including conspiracy to violate voting rights by fraudulently stuffing ballot boxes.  Other charges against Myers include bribery of an election official, falsification of records, voting more than once in a federal election, and obstruction of justice.

Feds Accuse Ex-Philly Congressman Michael J. 'Ozzie' Myers Of Stuffing Ballots.  A federal grand jury indicted a disgraced former Pennsylvania congressman, accusing the well-connected Philadelphia Democrat of election fraud during primary elections in 2014, 2015 and 2016.  The indictment charges former U.S. Rep. Michael J. "Ozzie" Myers — expelled from Congress after he was caught taking bribes in the Abscam sting investigation in the 1970s — with paying cash to an elections judge to fabricate votes for his clients.

Democrats Project their own Character Flaws onto Republicans.  Recently Democrats have begun screaming about voter suppression and screeching that every (illegal or fraudulent) vote must be counted.  However, we should all remember that in the "hanging chad" vote count during the 2000 election it was none other than Al Gore who actively worked to suppress the vote of military personnel from Florida serving overseas, probably because he knew the military didn't support his politics.  Democrats want people to be able to vote without a photo ID, even though you can't walk into a government building without showing a security guard your photo ID.  Democrats have started using COVID-19 as an excuse to promote a campaign to implement wide scale mail-in voting, ignoring all the problems involving missing ballots, easy voter fraud, and delayed vote results.

Queens, N.Y., Primary Gives Us a Preview of the Mayhem Mail-in Voting Could Create in November.  Democrats are pushing mail-in voting for the November election using the pretext of COVID-19.  Mail-in voting differs from absentee ballots because it requires no action on the part of the voter.  Instead, it pushes ballots out to registered voters no matter how inaccurate the voter rolls are.  Commentator Tim Pool did a summary of some of the glaring issues with mail-in voting.  Everything from a dead cat receiving a voter registration application to fraud prosecuted by the DOJ:  [Video clip]

GOP Wins Court Case, Keeping Florida Ballot Harvesting Ban in Place.  The Republican National Committee (RNC), the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), and the Florida GOP won a federal court victory upholding Florida's ban on ballot harvesting.  Priorities USA, a progressive advocacy group, and other Democrat plaintiffs dismissed their claims in Nielsen v. DeSantis, a lawsuit challenging Florida's ban on ballot harvesting which also aimed to force the state to count ballots that arrived after Election Day.  The plaintiffs also dropped their claim that Florida needed to provide pre-paid postage on vote-by-mail ballots.

NYT: Let's face it — the mail-in state primary was a disaster.  How badly has the state of New York handled its vote-by-mail primary?  Only today did the Associated Press make the call on the race in NY-16, concluding three weeks after the election that Rep. Eliot Engel lost to his primary challenger, progressive insurgent Jamaal Bowman — by sixteen points.  It took that long to get through enough of the mail-in ballots and navigate the opaque reporting on the count for the AP to reach a firm conclusion in a landslide for Bowman.  That race is no fluke, either.  The New York Times reports that some races have only a handful of ballots counted, and that outcomes of many of the primary contests have yet to be determined, more than three weeks after the election day.

California tosses more than 100,000 mail-in ballots from March presidential primary over mistakes.  Problems with mail-in balloting continue to occur around the country as more jurisdictions use them amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, as evidenced in California.  More than 102,000 mail-in ballots from the state's March presidential primary were rejected due to various "mistakes" out of more than 7 million cast, leaving new doubts in the minds of many whether widespread voting by mail around the country on Election Day in November will be fraught with similar problems.

Mail-In Ballot Fraud in New Jersey Signals National Trouble.  Problems with mail-in, or absentee, balloting are not new.  In 2005, the bipartisan Carter-Baker Commission noted that "absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud.... Absentee balloting is vulnerable to abuse in several ways:  blank ballots mailed to the wrong address or to a large residential building might get intercepted.  Citizens who vote at home, at nursing homes, at the workplace, or in church are more susceptible to pressure, overt and subtle, or to intimidation.  Vote buying schemes are far more difficult to detect when citizens vote by mail."  Now comes news from New Jersey that has election observers worried.  In a well-documented case of ballot fraud, the state attorney general charged four men with casting fraudulent mail-in votes, tampering with public records, and falsifying documents.  It's a template for crooked electioneering and perhaps a sign of things to come.

Four Stolen Elections:  The Vulnerabilities of Absentee and Mail-In Ballots.  All 50 states have bans on electioneering in and near polling places.  By contrast, there are no prohibitions on electioneering in voters' homes — which is what happens all too often with absentee ballots and voting by mail.  This makes voters vulnerable to intimidation and unlawful "assistance," as well as pressure by candidates, campaign staffers, political party activists, and political consultants — all of whom have a stake in the outcome of the election — to vote in the campaign's interests, not their own.  Absentee ballots are also more vulnerable to being misdirected, stolen, forged, and altered.  This Legal Memorandum details four cases studies of election fraud committed through absentee and mail-in voting.

Supreme Court declines to reinstate vote of nearly 1 million Florida felons.  The Supreme Court on Thursday [7/16/2020] let stand a lower court ruling that could strip voting eligibility from up to 1 million Florida felons who have completed their sentences but have yet to pay outstanding fines, restitution and other fees.

Why Has Biden Hired 600 Lawyers?  "Experts" insist that fraud is rare.  In fact, it is quite common, and mail-in voting exacerbates the problem.  The Heritage Foundation maintains an election fraud database that documents 1,285 proven cases of voter fraud, many of which involve mail-in ballots in swing states that will decide the 2020 election.  In the all-important state of Florida, the database documents dozens of election fraud convictions, including the theft and illegal filing of votes via absentee ballot.  In 2013, the chief of staff to Democratic Rep. Joe Garcia (FL-26) was sentenced to 90 days in prison and 18 months probation for "orchestrating a plot involving the submission of hundreds of fraudulent absentee-ballot requests."  Garcia exploited a chronic vulnerability of mail-in voting that the New York Times describes as follows:  ["]Election administrators have a shorthand name for a central weakness of voting by mail.  They call it granny farming.  Voters in nursing homes can be subjected to subtle pressure, outright intimidation or fraud.  The secrecy of their voting is easily compromised.  And their ballots can be intercepted both coming and going.["]

As ballots pile up in the mail, a potential 'nightmare' looms on Election Night.  New York's polls closed nearly three weeks ago.  But many candidates still don't know whether they've won — because New York City is still counting ballots that arrived in the mail.  These votes would be an afterthought in most years.  In fact, in New York, which is typically far more reliant on in-person voting, state law requires a weeklong delay before counting absentee ballots.  But this year, amid widespread worries of COVID-19 spreading at polling places, the number of mail-in ballots is surging far faster than states' ability to count them.  Elections experts are increasingly convinced that this surge, and the nation's patchwork method of handling it, could lead to a constitutional crisis in November.

Wisconsin's vote-by-mail looked bad.  It was actually worse.  Back on April 7th, Wisconsin held the first in-person primary election since the pandemic outbreak began.  Well, it was at least partially "in-person" but the state attempted at the last minute to turn it into some sort of hybrid, combining a smaller number of in-person polling places with the option to request mail-in ballots.  And the results were predictably chaotic.  There was confusion regarding where and how to vote and the massive increase in mail-in voting meant the results were delayed far longer than normal.  In short, it was a mess.  But at least it all got sorted out, right?  Not so fast there, folks.  An investigation was launched by the postal service's Inspector General, with the results only being released this week.  And as it turns out, things were even worse than they first appeared.  There were extensive problems with the mail-in ballots, with many either arriving too late to be counted, going to the wrong destination or never even making it to the voters at all.  By the time all was said and done, it's not entirely clear if they even produced any valid winners.

Wisconsin's Vote-By-Mail Debacle Was Worse Than You Think.  Earlier this year — at the height of the coronavirus pandemic — Wisconsin attempted to keep its primary intact by creating a hybrid system where some people could vote in-person in small numbers at a few polling places while others could request mail-in ballots.  The results were predictably disastrous, which is not to say a similar system with better planning is not possible.  On April 7, after the primary, The New York Times reported that Wisconsin's Democratic primary resulted in long lines, with many residents not receiving their absentee ballots or being unable to return them.  The Times predictably tried to downplay the struggles while placing most of the blame on state Republicans, but we now have a better idea of just how bad the problem was in Wisconsin.

Problems With Absentee Ballots in Wisconsin Hint at Election Nightmare.  It's a given:  The more human beings who are involved in any task, the more the certainty of disaster.  Voting is not a group activity.  It should be a private act between yourself and your conscience.  But forcing people to vote by mail unnecessarily involves postal workers, clerks, registrars, and election officials — any one of which can screw it up.  A study by the postal service inspector general found some shocking and worrying shortcomings that should give anyone who wants a fair election in November pause.

W. Virginia mail carrier admits to attempted election fraud, changing political affiliation on mail-in ballots.  A mail carrier in West Virginia has pleaded guilty to election fraud after admitting he altered requests for absentee voter ballots.  The 47-year-old postal carrier, Thomas Cooper, is facing prison after being charged in May for reportedly changing the political affiliation on several mail-in ballots.  He pleaded guilty Thursday to one count of "Attempt to Defraud the Residents of West Virginia of a Fair Election" and one count of "Injury to the Mail," according to the Department of Justice.

West Virginia mail carrier admits attempted election fraud.  A West Virginia postal carrier pleaded guilty Thursday to altering mail-in requests for absentee voter ballots.  Thomas Cooper entered the plea in federal court in Elkins to attempted election fraud and injury to the mail, U.S. Attorney Bill Powell said in a statement.  Cooper was charged in May after eight mail-in requests for absentee voter ballots had their party affiliations altered.

Thousands of North Carolina Voters Double-Voted, Watchdog Group Finds.  Thousands of voters in North Carolina voted twice in one or both of the past two elections, according to a court filing in the key battleground state.  Public Interest Legal Foundation, an election integrity group, announced Thursday that it had filed a brief in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina outlining the number of double votes.  A total of 16,700 duplicate votes were cast in the 2016 and 2018 elections, according to an audit by the watchdog group based on public records.  North Carolina was home to a disputed voter fraud case in 2018.

Dead Cat Receives Voter Registration Form by Mail.  Cody, a snuggly cat in Atlanta, wasn't alive to see any of the Obama years, let alone the Trump era, but he received a voter registration form by mail on Wednesday [7/8/2020].

'It's egregious': thousands of mail-in ballots could be rejected over small errors.  Rosalie Weisfeld doesn't skip elections — she just doesn't.  The 64-year-old lives in McAllen, near the Texas-Mexico border, and she votes in the contests that a lot of people sit out — races for school board, water district and local runoffs.  In the more than 40 years she's been registered to vote, Weisfeld only remembers missing one election.  But last year, her nearly-perfect record was broken.  Weisfeld voted by mail in a local race, signed her ballot and mailed it in well ahead of election day.  More than a month later, Weisfeld got a letter back saying election officials had rejected her ballot.  They examined the signature Weisfeld put on the ballot, compared it to one they had on file, and determined they weren't from the same person.  By then, she had no recourse.  The election was over.

New report argues perils of mail-in voting go beyond fraud.  A new report from a conservative group on the potential problems with large-scale mail-in voting argues that a recent push from states to send ballots to all registered voters for November's election would not only expose them to possible fraud but could likely result in a significant waste of taxpayer dollars.  The report, by the Honest Elections Project, cites problems that have already arisen in a number of states showing that including inactive voters — including those who have changed addresses or died — would result in money being spent on ballots that would never reach their intended recipients.

Detroit Removes Thousands of Dead Registrants From Voter Rolls.  The city of Detroit has removed thousands of deceased and duplicate registrants from its voter rolls after being hit with a lawsuit.  City officials cleaned up the voter rolls after the Public Interest Legal Foundation, a government watchdog, filed suit against them in December.  Nearly 2,500 deceased individuals and 4,800 duplicate registrations were removed from the voter rolls.  The officials have also moved to review another 16,465 registrants who lacked actual dates of registration.

U.S. Supreme Court blocks Alabama order easing voting restrictions.  The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday [7/2/2020] blocked a lower-court ruling that would have relaxed voting restrictions in Alabama state during the coronavirus pandemic.  Alabama requires voters to submit a photo identification when they apply for an absentee ballot, and it requires that ballot to be returned along with the signature of two witnesses or a notary.

Senior Living Facilities:  All the Vote Fraud We Cannot See.  Despite prosecutions and public stories identifying vote fraud activists targeting seniors, many in our media and political class continue to deny that our elderly population can be singled out for vote manipulation and suppression.  Vote fraudsters recognize the unique challenges of some seniors, and exploit these to achieve their own deceitful political ends.  The fraud is real, institutionalized — and must be stopped.  It is more efficient to target seniors in one facility than committing door to door vote fraud.  With approximately 2.5 million seniors in assisted living or nursing facilities and even more in independent living, our trusting Greatest Generation is high risk for being targeted by dishonest political activists.

The Coming Collapse of the Republic.  [Scroll down]  President Trump's re-election, like his election, would have to defy the odds.  Along with traditional media bias — which a college professor determined aids Democrat candidates by 8 to 10 points every election (an underestimation, I believe) — there's now social media/Big Tech bias.  According to liberal psychologist Dr. Robert Epstein's research, this factor can shift up to 15 million votes toward one party or the other (not an overestimation, I believe). This is enough to turn any modern election.  Add to this vote fraud and vote harvesting — the latter of which flipped conservative Orange County, Calif., from GOP to Democrat control in 2018 — and left-wing mail-in voting scams, and the picture is clear:  Even if Trump wins, the chances of him having two simpatico Houses are slim.  And if Trump triumphs but the Democrats hold the House and seize the Senate, there's a good chance he'll be deposed.

No LULAC, Texas Rangers are NOT 'Racist Terrorists'.  You are wrong LULAC. The Texas Rangers are not a racist terrorist organization.  This smear of the Rangers was made by Domingo Garcia, the national president of LULAC after a woman with a history of activism with LULAC was arrested for double voting in Texas. [...] What LULAC's President said about the Texas Rangers didn't surprise me, as I've been on the receiving end of LULAC's personal attacks.  The arrest in Texas is just one more example of how the institutional left is less interested in good faith discussions about voter fraud and election vulnerabilities than they are trying to destroy those who try to improve electoral systems.  Personal smears and attacks await those who enforce voter fraud laws or even report on voter fraud's existence.

Voter Fraud:  The Democrats' Ace in the Hole.  Right now the polling looks grim for President Trump, but the Democrats aren't taking any chances.  Much as the Russia hoax was their "insurance policy" in 2016, voter fraud is their ace in the hole this year.  In recent cycles voter fraud has been institutionalized as part of the Democrats' electoral strategy, but now it is being elevated to a new high.  Or low.  The current drive, in many states, for voting by mail is simply an attempt to facilitate fraud by causing millions of ballots to be mailed out to non-existent, dead, moved or unqualified voters.  Some of those ballots will be filled out by Democrats and will make their way into the electoral count.  The Democrats' concern for COVID is touching, but their purpose here is not to protect frail and elderly voters, it is to facilitate fraud on a grand scale.

NJ AG indicts four over mail-in ballot fraud; "hundreds" of mail-in ballots discovered.  And here I thought we had it on the highest authority that mail-in balloting didn't have more risk for fraud and manipulation.  Don't tell that to New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal, who just indicted four men for voter fraud connected to hundreds of fraudulent mail-in ballots.  Two of suspects are city council members in Paterson, in fact.

New Jersey attorney general charges local politicians in mail-in voter fraud case.  Four New Jersey residents have been charged in a recent mail-in voter fraud case, with state's attorney general accusing them of multiple crimes including voting fraud, tampering with public records and unauthorized possession of multiple vote-by-mail ballots.  Fraud allegations have plagued the recent Patterson City Council special election in New Jersey, with three losing candidates last month demanding a recount after thousands of ballots were voided in the largely mail-in race.  New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal announced Thursday [6/25/2020] that four people, one of them a Paterson city councilman and another a councilman-elect, have been charged with committing fraud during that election.

Obama Soliciting Funding for Vote-by-Mail Effort.  Former President Barack Obama sent out an email blast yesterday soliciting individuals to donate money to fight "voter suppression" by advocating vote-by-mail, early voting, and online voter registration.  The message was sent out by Obama on behalf of All On The Line, a campaign launched by the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC) which was formed after Obama's political organization Organizing for Action (OFA) merged with his former Attorney General Eric Holder's National Redistricting Action Fund (NRAF).

8 Key Points to Distinguish Absentee and All-Mail Voting.  President Donald Trump has said he plans to vote absentee this year, although he decries the recent push for all-mail elections.  The two methods aren't interchangeable, but are both subsets of voting by mail.  On Monday [6/22/2020], the president reiterated his opposition to mail-in voting, tweeting:  "Because of MAIL-IN BALLOTS, 2020 will be the most RIGGED Election in our nation's history."  Absentee voting is a longstanding institution in American elections, but liberals' demand to expand nationally what currently is widespread in only five states would be a radical change.

Widespread Fraud In New Jersey Special Election Proves Again That Mail-In Ballots Are Ripe For Abuse.  Mail-in ballots are proving to be increasingly susceptible to voter fraud, as was shown in Paterson, New Jersey.  In the special election for city council, 19 percent of ballots were discovered to be fraudulent, forcing the board of elections to disqualify more than 3,190 of the 16,747 votes.  The May 12 special local election came under suspicion when the Postal Inspection Service found hundreds of ballots in one mailbox.  This discovery triggered an investigation by the attorney general's Office of Public Integrity and Accountability, which unearthed much more intentional interference.  Ballots were stolen (completed and empty) and filled out fraudulently, or were otherwise altered.

Supreme Court rejects bid from Texas Democrats to allow all residents to vote by mail.  The Supreme Court declined to reinstate an earlier district court ruling forcing Texas officials to provide mail-in ballots to all voters in the state.  The high court rejected a request from the Texas Democratic Party on Friday to override a decision issued by a panel of judges on the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which placed a stay on a district court order that extended mail-in voting provisions to Texans.  "The application to vacate stay presented to Justice Alito and by him referred to the Court is denied," the Supreme Court's rejection read.  Liberal Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor, an Obama nominee, did not disagree with the high court's determination but noted that the case raises notable questions about the 26th Amendment to the Constitution.

Barr: Widespread mail-in voting ripe for fraud 'that cannot be policed'.  Attorney General William Barr said he supports mail-in balloting for a "limited" amount of people but is concerned about expanding the process.  "I think there's a range of concerns about mail-in ballots.  And let me just clarify here, I'm not talking about a mail-in ballot for a limited number of cases where somebody is going to be traveling around the world, and the way that the state has provided for that is, you mail in your ballot," Barr said in an interview with NPR last week.  "I'm talking about a comprehensive rule where all the ballots are essentially mail-in, and there's so many occasions for fraud there that cannot be policed."  "I think it would be very bad.  But one of the things I mentioned was the possibility of counterfeiting," he added.  When asked if he had evidence to warrant such a concern, Barr said, "No, it's obvious."  Barr also said he believes widespread mail-in voting could be a target for foreign countries.

The Editor says...
Just to be clear, The Editor opposes all forms of voting other than on Election Day itself, in person, at the correct polling place, and only after the presentation of a valid photo ID.

Mail-in ballots in New Jersey 'may have been destroyed' in delivery vehicle fire, Postal Service says.  New Jersey officials have sent residents an "urgent notice" that their mail-in ballots "may have been destroyed" in a postal vehicle fire, adding to existing concerns over the validity of voting without having to show up at a polling station.  That is especially true in the Garden State, where there have been a number of issues related to mail-in voting, including allegations of fraud.  According to NJ.com, mail-in ballots could have been aboard a U.S. Postal Service truck that caught fire and burned a week ago in Morris Township, spokesperson George Flood said.

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick:  Left Will 'Steal Every Election Until the End of Time' via Vote-by-Mail.  Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) sounded the alarm over vote-by-mail and the danger it poses to election integrity during a Friday appearance on SiriusXM's Breitbart News Daily.  Patrick drew a distinction between voting absentee, as has been done for years, and using coronavirus as an excuse to push voting through the mail as the preferred method to casting a ballot in person.  "In my view, the only way Trump loses in November, is if you have a proliferation of voting by mail in state after state, particularly the swing states," Patrick said in a clip played during the show, adding that Trump's campaign team is "on top of it."

Barr: An Election Conducted Primarily by Mail Can't Be Secure.  During a portion of an interview with NPR released on Friday, Attorney General William Barr said he isn't concerned about having mail-in ballots for a "limited" amount of people who can't vote in person, but he is concerned about "a comprehensive rule where all the ballots are essentially mail-in," and doesn't believe an election that is mainly conducted by mail can be secure.  Barr said, [relevant exchange begins around 6:15] "I think there's a range of concerns about mail-in ballots.  And let me just clarify here, I'm not talking about a mail-in ballot for a limited number of cases where somebody is going to be traveling around the world, and the way that the state has provided for that is, you mail in your ballot.  I'm talking about a comprehensive rule where all the ballots are essentially mail-in, and there's so many occasions for fraud there that cannot be policed."

1 in 5 Ballots Rejected as Fraud Is Charged in N.J. Mail-In Election.  Following accusations of widespread fraud, voter intimidation, and ballot theft in the May 12 municipal elections in Paterson, N.J., state Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal announced Thursday [6/25/2020] he is charging four men with voter fraud — including the vice president of the City Council and a candidate for that body.  With races still undecided, control of the council hangs in the balance.  Paterson is New Jersey's third largest city and the election will decide the fate of a municipal budget in excess of $300 million, in addition to hundreds of millions more in education spending and state aid.

RNC Gets Win in Florida Elections Lawsuit.  When the RNC saw that Democrats were trying to abolish a state law in Florida to allow ballots to be counted after Election Day and to prohibit the state's ban on ballot harvesting, they had to intervene.  As it turns out, it was a President Bill Clinton-appointed judge who gave the Republicans the victory.  In his ruling in Nielsen v. DeSantis, Judge Robert Hinkle noted that "the plaintiffs have not shown likely success on the merits" of their case.  He explained why it's imperative for the state law to remain intact.  "This eliminates the problem of missing, unclear, or even altered postmarks, eliminates delay that can have adverse consequences, and eliminates the remote possibility that in an extremely close election — Florida has had some — a person who did not vote on or before election day can fill out and submit a ballot later," Hinkle said.

Two black candidates are running against each other.  How is "black voter suppression" an issue?
New York Democrat refuses to concede House primary election, alleges 'black voter suppression'.  A New York state lawmaker who sought to replace a retiring member of Congress refused to concede defeat Thursday [6/25/2020] following Tuesday's Democratic primary, claiming the election was plagued by "intentional black voter suppression."  State Assemblyman Michael Blake, an African-American candidate, finished in second place in the 15th Congressional District contest's in-person ballot count, the New York Daily News reported.  The top finisher was New York City Councilman Ritchie Torres, who is also African-American.

Voting fraud charges filed against Paterson councilman and councilman-elect.  In the wake of rampant allegations of voter fraud in the Paterson City Council race, the New Jersey Attorney General filed voting fraud charges Thursday [6/25/2020] against a city councilman and a council-elect.  Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal announced voting fraud charges against 1st Ward Councilman Michael Jackson, 3rd Ward Council-Elect Alex Mendez and two other men, weeks after the May 12 local election in which the Passaic County Board of Elections decided not to count 800 city ballots found scattered across different municipalities.

Mailing It In.  Proponents promise that vote-by-mail elections will be corruption-free.  Yet we know that in the 2016 elections, as many as 319,000 mailed ballots were tossed out for various reasons, including signatures that didn't match; that, according to a Los Angeles Times examination, "the preferred way to cheat is with mail-in ballots"; and that absentee ballots, typically submitted by mail, provide the "easiest" path "to commit election fraud."  Mark Hemingway persuasively argued recently in RealClearPolitics that "a significant increase in mail-in voting this fall could greatly incentivize 'ballot harvesting' where third parties collect mail-in ballots on behalf of voters and deliver them to election officials."  Ballot harvesting is a "recipe for mischief and wrongdoing," says the Heritage Foundation's Hans A. von Spakovsky.  It's risky, he argues, to let "individuals other than the voter or his immediate family to handle absentee ballots," because "neither voters nor election officials can verify that the secrecy of the ballot was not compromised or that the ballot submitted in the voter's name by a third party accurately reflects the voter's choices and was not fraudulently changed by the vote harvester."

Democrats create a workaround to advance voter fraud.  Despite what the media tell people, outside large urban areas, leftist political ideology isn't very popular in America, and that's true despite decades of leftism in education, news, and entertainment.  Leftists, however, have developed a way to circumvent the fact that stubborn Americans will not vote for Marxist policies or politicians: they use judges to advance their agenda.  That's why, as we saw with the Brett Kavanaugh nomination, leftists will do anything to get their people on the Supreme Court and to keep conservative judges off the Court.  What works best for leftists is to have state attorneys and judges willingly work with them to overthrow the will of the people, the written law, or the Constitution.  In Minnesota, leftists are using this tactic to force mail-in only voting on the state.  Mail-in voting is an invitation to uncontrolled voting fraud, something that mostly favors Democrats.

8 Key Points to Distinguish Absentee and All-Mail Voting.  President Donald Trump has said he plans to vote absentee this year, although he decries the recent push for all-mail elections.  The two methods aren't interchangeable, but are both subsets of voting by mail.  On Monday [6/22/2020], the president reiterated his opposition to mail-in voting, tweeting:  "Because of MAIL-IN BALLOTS, 2020 will be the most RIGGED Election in our nation's history."  Absentee voting is a longstanding institution in American elections, but liberals' demand to expand nationally what currently is widespread in only five states would be a radical change.

How the Democrats Collude to Enable Voter Fraud.  In Minnesota, Democrats are colluding to enable voter fraud in the upcoming primary election.  This presumably is a warmup for the same effort they will make to enable fraud in the general election in November.  With many believing that President Trump has a good chance to carry Minnesota after coming close last time, the Democrats are taking no chances.  The case is League of Women Voters v.  Simon.  The League of Women Voters, a solidly Democratic organization, is "suing" Minnesota's Secretary of State, left-wing activist Steve Simon.  The lawsuit seeks to suspend Minnesota's election laws, ostensibly on account of COVID-19, so that persons mailing in absentee ballots won't need to satisfy the statutory requirement of a witness to verify their identity.  Without that requirement, voter fraud will be even easier than it is at present.  If a Democrat finds a ballot lying around, as will happen many thousands of times in Minnesota, where the voter rolls include hundreds of thousands of names that are dead or otherwise not eligible voters, he can fill it out and send it in, no questions asked.

Truth, Justice, and the American Way.  [Scroll down]  Assuming the November election is fairly run, and the votes are counted accurately, showing the general public the failure of Democratic leadership certainly seems to be a good strategy.  The danger is that this strategy also assumes a fair and accurately counted election.  No one however should any longer assume such a thing from the Democratic Party.  They have shown with these riots and protests that they are willing to do anything to gain power, and faking an election will certainly be one of those actions.  And their taking over large sections of the country by the use of violence will give them even more power to do exactly that.  Do not expect the vote counts in any Democratically-controlled state or city to be reliable.  They will be faked, without any doubt.

Vote by Mail:  Turning the Clock Backwards.  [Scroll down]  One should not confuse "Vote by Mail" with voting by an 'absentee ballot'.  Absentee balloting is an older established regulated process.  It is used in extraordinary circumstances for illness or absence when the voter cannot appear at the poll.  Ballots are requested by the voter, are registered, and require a signature certification by the voter.  There has been corruption in absentee balloting.  The most secure method of voting is to vote in person at the poll.  "Vote by Mail' which the Democrats are advocating nationally is an irresponsible, unregulated system that seeks to mail ballots to every address in the country from inaccurate unpurged voter rolls regardless of whether the persons at the address is living, currently registered to vote, or are even citizens.  Critics point out that ballots delivered to a wrong address or to someone who moved would be piled up in hallways for anyone to pick up and tamper with.  'Vote by Mail" then allows the ballots mailed to be collected by unregulated political activists who are entrusted to bring them to election places to be counted.  What happens along the way to these ballots is left to the horror of one's imagination.  There are no voter identity checks anywhere in the 'Vote by Mail" scheme.  Its unsecure procedures encourages tampering and ballot fraud on a massive scale.

On Vote-By-Mail.  Vote by mail might sound good, until you look at the data.  The federal election assistance commission keeps tabs.  Their data show that 28 million ballots mailed since 2012 simply vanished.  They were sent out, but never came back and were counted.  Some say they are in landfills, others figure they are in file cabinets.  It gets worse.  Hundreds of thousands came back but had defects that prevented them from being counted.  The voters who sent these ballots probably do not even know that their ballot was not counted after they sent it back.  Making all of this even worse are the hundreds of millions of dollars that leftist foundations dedicate to this process fight.  There is money for media outlets to publish stories that voter fraud is a myth.  They even lend struggling newspapers foundation-funded "reporters" to work for free, as long as they publish stories saying voter fraud is a myth.  Mail voting also destroys the transparency of our elections.  Observers from each side are unable to watch the process.  Mail ballots are uniquely vulnerable to fraud because they are voted behind closed doors where third parties regularly attempt to influence the process.

Former Top Michigan Elections Official Slams Mass Mail-In Vote.  Michigan's former top elections official said that Democrats' decision to send unsolicited absentee ballot applications to nearly 8 million voters may violate state laws.  Former Republican secretary of state Ruth Johnson said her successor, Democrat Jocelyn Benson, may have made an "illegal" decision that "threatens the integrity of elections" by ordering state officials to distribute millions of mail-in ballot applications.  Benson's decision contradicted legal precedent and the secretary of state's own election manual, which mandates that "clerks may not mail absentee voter applications without having received a verbal or written request," according to Johnson.

Appeals Court Rebukes Imperious Judge Over Absurd Absentee Ballot Ruling.  The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit has taken federal District Judge Fred Biery to the proverbial woodshed over an outlandish order he issued in late May.  In that order, Biery required Texas to allow all voters to vote by mail even if they didn't otherwise meet the state's eligibility requirement for an absentee ballot.  In a stunning June 4 rebuke written by Judge Jerry Smith, a unanimous three-judge panel of the 5th Circuit said that Biery's order will be "remembered more for [its] audacity than legal reasoning."  The appeals court panel said that although Biery wanted "to take matters into his own hands," the spread of COVID-19 has not given unelected federal judges "a roving commission to rewrite state election codes" and intervene just weeks before an election.

Judge Smacks Down Gavin Newsom's Election Executive Order:  "Impermissible Use of Legislative Powers".  Throughout the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic and shutdowns the nation's Democrat governors have shown us just how dictatorial their aspirations are by issuing reams of overreaching executive orders they claim are allowable due to the public health emergency.  California's Gavin Newsom has been one of the worst offenders, but an order issued Friday [6/12/2020] by Sutter County Superior Court Judge Perry Parker could put a stop to a number of items on Newsom's wish list.  Two GOP members of the California State Assembly, Kevin Kiley and James Gallagher, filed suit Thursday seeking to invalidate Newsom's Executive Order N-67-20 pertaining to the November general election and requesting "interim declaratory relief and a temporary restraining order." [...] Friday morning Parker issued a temporary restraining order suspending implementation of the executive order, saying it was "an impermissible use of legislative powers in violation of the California Constitution and the laws of the State of California."

Some advice from victims of voter fraud who won the day.  The year was 1993. Control of the Pennsylvania state Senate turned on a special election in Philadelphia.  Although the district was heavily Democratic, the Republican was running a strong campaign, with organized labor and minority support.  In desperation, the Democratic machine's operatives descended on the District to steal the election by manipulating Latino voters into signing absentee ballot applications, falsely claiming a "new method of voting" — voting absentee for convenience — then illegal in Pennsylvania if one could go to the polls.  Democratic city election officials then illegally provided the ballots to the operatives directly — instead of mailing them — to "help" voters in choosing their candidate and allowing operatives to return the ballots themselves — again illegal.  Campaign workers were paid for each absentee ballot application and illegal vote harvested.  In some cases, workers voted the ballots without the voters even seeing them.  Hard to believe?  After months of legal battle, a federal judge issued a landmark decision finding that candidate William Stinson and the Philadelphia city officials engaged in massive fraud involving thousands of illegal votes, removed the Democrat from office, and instated the rightly elected Republican as senator.  A dozen campaign workers were convicted of election fraud.

Lawsuit claims Michigan risks fraud, as county has more registered voters than people who can vote.  A voter filed a lawsuit Tuesday [6/9/2020] against Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, Bureau of Elections Director Jonathan Brater and other officials, claiming that in at least 16 counties voter rolls have not been properly maintained and that this leaves them vulnerable to fraud in November's election.  Tony Daunt, a Republican active in his state and county parties, alleges that the Michigan voter registration rates in these counties are "suspiciously high" because their voting records have not been cleaned out to remove ineligible voters, including those who have died, moved, or been convicted of felonies.

Rejection rates of Paterson vote-by-mail ballots last month far exceeded previous years.  City residents' vote-by-mail ballots were disqualified in last month's controversial council races at significantly higher rates than they had been in Paterson's three previous municipal elections, according to information in public records.  The Passaic County Board of Elections decided not to count 3,274 all mail-in ballots in the 2020 council elections, or 20 percent of those that were submitted.  In comparison, the board rejected 10.5 percent of the mail-in ballots in the 2018 municipal election, 4.8 percent in 2016 and 4.5 percent in 2014, according to a Paterson Press analysis of the data provided by county officials.  Political insiders attribute the high rate of disqualified ballots in the city to two factors — the governor's decision to conduct all May elections in New Jersey entirely through mail-in votes and the ongoing investigations by law enforcement agencies into possible election fraud in Paterson.

Appeals Court Bench Blocks Universal Vote-By-Mail In Texas.  The Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday blocked an order requiring Texas officials to make mail-in ballots available to any voter who wants one due to the coronavirus ahead of elections in July.  Mail-in ballots are available in Texas if the applicant is over the age of 65.  Voters under 65 must demonstrate that they will be outside the state or have a disability to vote by mail.  Texas Democrats challenged those rules, arguing among other things that they violate equal protection and the 26th Amendment's bar on age discrimination in voting.

Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals blasts U.S. District Judge, blocks vote by mail.  The battle continues.  Will Texans have universal mail-in voting for the presidential election in November?  That is the question bouncing from court to court, most recently landing in the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.  The court struck down a previous order from U.S. District Judge Fred Biery Thursday [6/4/2020].  Biery sided with Texas Democrats demanding that due to the coronavirus pandemic outbreak in the state, it is unreasonable to expect voters to go to polling places and risk exposure to the virus.  U.S. District Judge Fred Biery, a federal judge agreed that all Texas voters can vote by mail due to the pandemic.  Using hyper-flowery language in the opinion he issued, he ruled that all Texans can now be considered disabled due to fear of exposure to the virus.  The question of disability due to a lack of immunity was heard in the Texas Supreme Court, too.  That court ruled that Judge Biery's opinion was wrong — a lack of immunity to COVID-19 is not a disability.

Mail-In Votes Discarded, Never Counted in Baltimore Election Due to Error.  Mail-in votes in a local Baltimore, Maryland, election were discarded and not counted due to a ballot error, officials say.  On Tuesday evening [6/2/2020], voters went to the polls in Baltimore city elections — including the race in City Council District 1 where incumbent Democrat Zeke Cohen faced a challenge from Democrat Paris Bienert.  The race, though, ended in disarray when a ballot error caused mail-in votes to be thrown out and not counted, according to the Baltimore Sun.

Mail-in vote fraud 'more frequent' than in-person voting, academics say.  All-mail elections have been going on for years in some states, and from the liberal bastions of Oregon and Washington to rock-red conservative Utah, the voters who use it love it.  President Trump is not a fan, however, and calls it a recipe for fraud.  He is mounting an all-out assault in person, on Twitter and in the nation's courts to keep states from expanding mail-in voting options during this year's elections.

Trump's concern about mail-in ballots is completely legitimate.  In 2012, before mail-in voting became a partisan political litmus test, the New York Times published an article titled "Error and Fraud at Issue as Absentee Voting Rises."  The piece noted that "there is a bipartisan consensus that voting by mail ... is more easily abused than other forms," and that "votes cast by mail are less likely to be counted, more likely to be compromised and more likely to be contested than those cast in a voting booth."  A bipartisan Commission on Federal Election Reform, chaired by former president Jimmy Carter and former secretary of state James A. Baker III, concluded in 2005 that "absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud" and that "vote buying schemes are far more difficult to detect when citizens vote by mail."  Carter and Baker also pointed out that citizens who vote at nursing homes "are more susceptible to pressure, overt and subtle, or to intimidation."  In Florida, there is even a name for this:  "granny farming."  No one questions that mail-in ballots have much higher rates of not being counted.  A Massachusetts Institute of Technology study found that in the 2008 presidential election, 7.6 million of 35.5 million mail-in ballots requested were not counted because they never reached voters or were rejected for irregularities.  That is a failure rate of more than 21 percent.

Twitter claims 'no evidence' of mail-in voter fraud despite numerous convictions since 2016.  Twitter this week slapped a warning label on some of Donald Trump's tweets for the first time, cautioning users that the president's "series of claims about potential voter fraud" were "unsubstantiated," citing "CNN, Washington Post and others" for authority.  "Experts say mail-in ballots are very rarely linked to voter fraud," Twitter declared.  In an accompanying "What you need to know" list, the social media giant added that "fact checkers say there is no evidence that mail-in ballots are linked to voter fraud."  In fact, there have been numerous cases of mail-in voter fraud scattered widely across the country over the past four years, evidence that the absentee ballot system is open to at least some voter manipulation, even as many experts and pundits continue to insist otherwise.

Citizen Journalist Busts Mail-In Voting Fraud — Alleges Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee & Others Paid Convicted Forgers.  Over and over we uncover voter fraud across the united States and the latest is in Texas.  A citizen journalist uncovered a Democrat mail-in voting nursing home scandal, which should gain some serious attention and bring the perpetrator to justice, but will it?  Patrick Howley with National File interviewed Colleen Vera, who is a citizen journalist that has uncovered a massive voter fraud ring in the state of Texas that involves Democrat campaigns and mail-in voting, something that DC Democrats are attempting to push through in another unconstitutional stimulus package.

Voter manipulation in Palm Beach shows how easy mail-in balloting can be abused.  The ease with which two Democrat politicians in Palm Beach County, Florida, may have managed to manipulate and 'encourage' voters to support them in 2017 thanks to "gaping holes" in the state's mail-in balloting lend credence to President Donald Trump's growing concerns about implementing a similar system nationwide.  In recent weeks, congressional Democrats have been pushing a national vote-by-mail scheme as part of any new coronavirus relief bill, arguing that because of the pandemic it's 'too unsafe' to require Americans to vote in person.

McEnany Reminds the Media That Registered Voters in Many States Are Also Dead.  During a White House briefing Thursday afternoon, Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany explained to reporters, with slides, detailed data and news stories, that voter fraud as a result of mass vote-by-mail schemes is in fact a real problem.  "The media is very concerned about the integrity of our elections but when it comes to mail-in ballots, all of a sudden, the concern for election security melts away," McEnany said.  "I want to note there was a Pew study done that shows there is plenty of reason to believe that in a mass mail-in system that there is fraud.  They estimated that approximately 24-million, one out of every eight voters registered in the U.S., are no longer valid or are significantly inaccurate."  "These are people who are on voter registrations that have not been maintained, have not been kept up.  More than 1.8 million have been deceased," she continued.

Valerie Jarrett Calls for Vote-by-Mail in Every State — 'There Is De Minimis Vote Fraud in Our Country'.  Thursday on MSNBC, former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett said because there is "de minimis vote fraud in our country," we "should have vote-by-mail in every state."  Jarrett said, "This week, we launched Civic Cities, where we are working with mayors across the country.  I started in local government, so I appreciate how mayors really do have a touch on what's happening in the communities.  They are extremely influential.  So I asked them to help us engage with the constituents they have.  We have 31 mayors off the bat.  Many more joined on since then.  We're working in high schools because people who are first-time voters tend to be lifelong voters.  We have colleges and universities.  We have the business community engaged."

Will mail-in voting turn Election Day into Election Week?  A shift to mail voting is increasing the chances that Americans will not know the winner of November's presidential race on election night, a scenario that is fueling worries about whether President Donald Trump will use the delay to sow doubts about the results.

Ballot harvesting bounty:  How Dems apparently used election law change to rout California Republicans.  A minor change in California's election laws may have had a major effect on last month's midterm elections that saw Democrats steamroll their Republican rivals and claim all but seven of the Golden State's 53 House seats.  Despite holding substantial leads on Election Day, many Republican candidates in California saw their advantage shrink, and then disappear, as late-arriving Democratic votes were counted in the weeks following the election.  While no hard evidence is available, many observers point to the Democrats use of "ballot harvesting" as a key to their success in the elections.

Pennsylvania: How Democrats Can Steal an Election.  Last week, the Department of Justice announced that in March, a former Philadelphia election official admitted to, and was convicted of, accepting bribes to stuff ballots for three Democrat candidates for Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judge.  He admitted to inflating the votes in primaries in years 2014 through 2016.  He purportedly committed the fraud by standing in a voting booth and voting multiple times.  That he acted alone seems unlikely.  In Pennsylvania, each polling place must have a minimum of five poll workers to open and operate.  They all work for thirteen hours — where were they?  This trick could explain why some Philadelphia precincts end up, unabashedly, on election nights with more total votes than registered voters, and an outcome producing 100% of the votes for Democrat candidates.  This case is not an isolated incident, as other cases of altering vote counts have been successfully prosecuted.

Safe elections?  Postal worker busted for mail-in ballot fraud.  Just as the left attempts to sell us on the idea of solid mail-in voting for all future elections in the wake of the coronavirus, out comes the first arrest for mail-in ballot fraud. [...] And Trump was right all along about the potential for problems.  He's still tweeting about this, and Twitter is attempting to censor him, but facts are facts:  mail-in ballots open up a humongous door to fraud.  Start with the fact that mail-in elections break the chain of custody that normal in-person voting has.  Does anyone think postal workers are better custodians of voting ballots than trained election workers with observers from two parties watching them from both sides of the fence?

CNN Host Insists Voter Fraud is 'Basically Nonexistent', Gets Schooled by Alabama Sec of State.  As Democrats use the "gift" of the pandemic to push voting by mail, arrogant CNN host Brianna Keilar asked her guest, Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill, if he's "aware that the research shows that in-person voting is more likely to result in voter fraud, which, overall, is basically nonexistent?"  I'd like to take a look at the research she was referring to that produced such an obviously inaccurate result.  Maybe according to the Brennan Center for Justice, as in John Brennan, that's a truthful statement.  However, the evidence shows that mail-in votes are far more likely to be compromised than in-person votes, and rather than being "basically nonexistent" as Keilar maintains, voter fraud happens with great frequency.  She is well aware of that.  Throughout their discussion, Keilar maintained a thinly disguised look of scorn on her face and continually interrupted Merrill.

More Evidence of Mail-it-in Voter Fraud... Shhhh.  Last week another state found evidence of alleged voter fraud.  West Virginia's secretary of state says they're investigating an absentee ballot fraud scheme that was connected to the state's mass effort for absentee voting amid the COVID-19 pandemic.  In very early April, West Virginia's county clerk's offices began an effort to mail absentee ballots to every registered voter in that state.  Essentially everyone in that category had one mailed to their address.  On May 21st, Secretary of State Mac Warner announced that his office had investigated a ballot fraud scam and referred their findings to the U.S. Attorney for prosecution.  The WV Election Fraud Task Force responded quickly, the ruse was discovered early, and authorities claim this will have no impact on the outcomes of elections.

Spygate Law Firm That Attempted To Overturn 2016 Election Behind 2020 Voting Lawsuits.  A nationwide effort by Democrats is underway in at least 16 states to overturn restrictions on mail-in voting and third-party ballot harvesting.  States where suits have been filed include the swing states of Minnesota, Pennsylvania, and Florida.  The effort is being backed by the National Redistricting Foundation, a Democratic group headed by the Obama administration's Attorney General Eric Holder.  The suits appear to be funded by Priorities USA, a Democratic super PAC.  A Wall Street Journal headline from April read, "Biden Campaign Indicates Priorities USA Is Preferred Super PAC — Nod from the presumptive Democratic nominee sends a message to top donors on where to focus contributions."

USPS Mail Carrier Charged with Fraud After Allegedly Tampering with Vote-by-Mail Requests.  Federal and state prosecutors in West Virginia announced Tuesday [5/26/2020] that it they had charged a U.S. Postal Service mail carrier with attempted fraud for allegedly tampering with requests for vote-by-mail absentee ballots.

Pelosi on Mail-In Ballot Push: 'We're Now calling It Voting at Home'.  House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) this week signaled that Democrats are going to push for more expanded mail-in voting by referring to it now as "voting at home."  "We're now calling it voting at home because that's really what it's all about — enabling people to vote at home," Pelosi told MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell.

Mr. President, Here's How You Stop the Democratic Scam of the Century.  Think about an election where a ballot is sent to a person regardless of eligibility or to an address that person may not live at anymore; signed by someone else; picked up and delivered by a Democratic campaign operative; and still counted.  If Democrats were to get their way, that is what would happen in my home state of Nevada this June, and nationwide in the November presidential election.  This is clearly a trial run by Democrats to see if they can get away with The Scam of the Century with which they have one goal in mind: to steal all future U.S. elections.  Keep in mind that even Mexico demands election integrity.  Voters in Mexico must physically show up to vote.  They must have federal government-issued photo identification (with thumbprint).  They can't vote in English.  Voting in Mexico is only done in Spanish.  In today's America, the only possible reason to be opposed to voter ID is that you want to cheat.  Everyone has government-issued ID — no matter how poor, no matter skin color.  Everyone needs it to collect a government check — welfare, food stamps, Medicaid, Obamacare.  Every Democratic voter has it.

83 ballots left atop a single, elderly lady's mailbox in LA, but it can't be voter fraud.  This was the last presidential election, but they've done nothing to fix this insofar as we can tell.  Jerry Mosna found 83 mail-in ballots shipped to his apartment complex in San Pedro, California this weekend.  All 83 ballots were sent to the same address where a single 89-year-old woman lives.  But, don't worry, it couldn't be voter fraud.  Democrats say there is no voter fraud.  The Los Angeles County Registrar's Office is investigating the incident, but, without evidence, they said it appears to be an isolated situation tied to a system error causing all those duplicate ballots.  [Except, they were all addressed to different people.]  None of the government workers noticed.

No fraud?  Pennsylvania county settles lawsuit over voter rolls that included nearly 1,600 dead people.  Allegheny County, Pennsylvania — home to the city of Pittsburgh and its surrounding suburbs — has settled a lawsuit directing officials to clean up voter registration rolls.  County officials settled the suit on Monday with the Public Interest Legal Foundation, which focuses on election integrity, after the Allegheny election manager and three board of elections members were sued over registration rolls containing duplicate entries and the names of persons who had died, the Washington Free Beacon reported.  Representatives of the elections watchdog said researchers discovered almost 1,600 dead registrants, nearly 7,500 with erroneous data, and more than 1,500 who were older than 100 years — including 49 who were born in the 1800s.

This Doesn't Bode Well for Vote-by-Mail:  Many Oregon Voters Received the Wrong Primary Ballot.  Oregon famously voted in the 1990s to go to a vote-by-mail-only system for all of its elections.  In Oregon's federal and state primary elections this past Tuesday [5/19/2020], a number of voters received the wrong ballot.  Many center-right observers say that the number of errors has spiked in 2020, and have sought answers to the problem.  Oregon has a closed primary election, meaning that voters who don't register to vote with a party cannot vote in that party's primary for state or federal candidates.  Anecdotal reports have flooded in that indicate non-affiliated voters have received ballots to vote in the Democratic primary, incorrectly allowing them to vote in the presidential primary.

The Folly of Vote-by-Mail for All.  The extended national lockdown caused by the coronavirus has led to many ideas for changing familiar patterns of the American way of life.  But COVID-19 is no excuse for undermining the integrity of our presidential elections by switching from in-person to mail-in voting.  Until a few years ago, Election Day was a special event in which our sprawling nation came together on the same day to select our next president.  Some states honor it with a holiday, and many employers give workers time off to vote.  Barely five months before the most important presidential election of our lifetime, with the Supreme Court on the line, is no time to convert the election machinery of more than 100,000 election precincts to an unprecedented, untested system of any kind.  Yet Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer seeks to send absentee ballot applications to 7.7 million people on an error-ridden list of potential voters.

Trump is right about the huge potential for ballot fraud in Michigan's election.  To hear the mainstream media tell it, President Trump is somehow paranoid at Michigan's latest gambit to mail absentee voting applications to all registered voters in the state.  Here's the selectively distorted reporting from the Detroit News: [...] They ran it with a photograph of Trump with a photoshopped color manipulation that exaggerated the color of his skin as well as his blue tie to colors not consistent with the lighting in the room. [...] Notice in the story how the reporter takes pains to state that these mail-in ballot applications will go to 'qualified' voters, as if Trump were somehow against that.  Fact:  They will go to any name on the voter rolls, and the problem Trump is bringing up is that the voter roll list is absolutely filthy, loaded with names of people who have moved away, leaving golden opportunities for Democrats to stop over at those mailboxes and pick up the unopened mail.  The report correctly notes that Trump said 'ballots' rather than 'ballot applications,' but that too is red herring.  Where exactly does the writer think ballots come from other than ballot applications?

Biden: 'No Evidence Whatsoever' of Fraud in Mail-in Voting.  Sunday [5/24/2020] on WISN's "Up Front," presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said there was "no evidence whatsoever" that mail-in voting is fraud-ridden. [...] Biden said, "I will tell you what, you mean Trump fraud?  Look, he's sitting in the White House filling out absentee ballots to vote in a primary in Florida.  Now, why is it not fraud when he does it, and anyone else would do it?  There's no evidence whatsoever."

Democrat vote fraud is real, and Republicans must begin fighting back.  Don't tell the mainstream media, but another case of "nonexistent" voter fraud managed to squeak a few times this week before "objective" journalists quickly jumped on top of the story and smothered it with a pillow.  The U.S. Attorney's Office in Philadelphia secured a guilty plea from an election judge who admitted to "literally standing in a voting booth and voting over and over, as fast as he could, while he thought the coast was clear."  The investigation is ongoing, and prosecutors alluded to a much larger conspiracy involved.  What is definitive, according to the guilty plea, is that a Democratic Party ward chairman stuffed the ballot boxes for Democratic candidates in the 2014, 2015, and 2016 elections in exchange for thousands of dollars in cash.  If he pleaded guilty to cheating Pennsylvanians out of honest local, state, and federal elections in the small window of '14 to '16, just think of all those other elections he might have affected while nobody was looking or for reasons other than money.

Pelosi: "Vote-by-Mail is More Democratic" Than Voting in Person with Photo ID.  It is obvious the Democrats are using the Coronavirus as an excuse to push for mail-in ballots rather than in-person voting in an effort to steal the 2020 election.  House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has repeatedly tried to sneak in federal ballot harvesting laws into several of the Coronavirus stimulus bills.  Pelosi is now trying to shove a $3.6 billion 'vote-by-mail' proposal into the latest Coronavirus stimulus bill. [...] Pelosi said that voting by mail, with no chain of custody, is "more democratic" than voting in person with photo ID.

RNC Joins Opposition to Lawsuit Demanding Ballot Harvesting in Florida.  The Republican National Committee (RNC), the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), and the Republican Party of Florida intervened in a Florida lawsuit lodged by progressive activists, who are calling for ballot harvesting and other vote-by-mail provisions in the Sunshine State.  Progressives are attempting to use the coronavirus pandemic to challenge voting rules in Florida.  They, in Neilsen v.  DeSantis, are suing the state and 67 County Supervisors of Elections over what they consider unfair restrictions on vote-by-mail.  Their demands include forcing officials to count ballots that are received after Election Day and authorizing ballot harvesting — the process of allowing organizers to go door-to-door, collecting ballots and returning them in lieu of the voter.

Democrats and voter fraud in Nevada — here's how it will impact you.  Democrats say they want more "inclusive" voting practices.  They fail to mention just how inclusive their plans are:  sending ballots to dead voters.  Nevada is a case study of the lengths Democrats will go to secure a voting edge.  First Marc Elias and Perkins Coie sued the state on behalf of Democrat groups, demanding election officials break laws against ballot harvesting, ignore signature verification requirements and send ballots to inactive voters the state believes moved away.  They demanded more in-person voting locations while arguing voting in person was too dangerous for the June 9 mail-in vote primary.

Court answers NH residency questions in voting rights case.  The state Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that a person who has a New Hampshire home is considered a resident when it comes to elections, answering questions posed by a federal judge who is presiding over a challenge to a state law.  The law, which took effect last July, requires voters to be full-fledged residents of New Hampshire and ended state law distinctions between "residency" and "domicile."  Before the law took effect, New Hampshire was the only state that didn't require residency to vote.  Though it doesn't change the process of registering to vote, the law effectively makes out-of-state college students who vote in New Hampshire subject to residency requirements, such as obtaining a driver's license and registering cars.

Darrell Issa, Judicial Watch Sue Gavin Newsom over Vote by Mail.  Former Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) and Judicial Watch sued California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday [5/21/2020] over his May 8 executive order allowing all voters in the state to vote by mail — whether they had formally requested to do so, or not.  Newsom's order cites the threat of coronavirus:  because "it is unknown to what degree COVID-19 will pose a threat to public health in November," mail-in ballots must be sent to everyone — but in-person voting must also be provided.

South Carolina Absentee Ballots Found in Maryland as Democrats Push for Vote-by-Mail Increases.  About 20 Charleston County absentee ballots were found in Maryland this week as the Democrat Party's effort to gradually move all states to vote-by-mail continues, while the GOP warns that such moves will lead to voter fraud, inaccuracy, and abuse.  According to Charleston's Post and Courier, the ballots "have since made their way to Charleston-area voters, state and county election officials said, but it is just the latest problem with SeaChange Print Innovations, which prints and mails absentee ballots for 13 S.C. counties."

Pittsburgh Vows to Clean Up Voter Rolls with 1.6K Dead Registered Voters.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) has reached a settlement with Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, officials to clean up their voter rolls, which apparently include about 1,600 dead registered voters.  In February, PILF filed a lawsuit against Allegheny County — which includes the city of Pittsburgh and its surrounding suburbs — for having about 1,600 dead people on its voter rolls, close t0 7,500 voter registrations that have been flagged as duplicates, 1,523 registered voters who claim to be 100-years-old and over, and 1,178 registered voters who are missing dates of birth.

Here's how to stop voter fraud overnight:  Offer an enormous bounty for anyone who discovers someone voting with someone else's identity, and can provide courtroom-quality evidence of it.  That would open a lot of eyes.

South Philly judge of elections pleads guilty to stuffing ballot boxes, accepting bribes.  A former judge of elections in South Philadelphia pleaded guilty this week to fraudulently stuffing ballot boxes for Democratic candidates in recent primary elections, accepting bribes from a political consultant hired to help influence local election results.  Domenick J. DeMuro, 73, formerly served the 39th Ward, 36th Division in South Philadelphia.  He pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy and violation of the Travel Act in accept the bribes through the use of his cellphone.  As judge of elections, an elected and paid position, DeMuro's job was to oversee the election process and voter activities of his division.

Democratic Party official admits to stuffing ballot boxes in Philadelphia elections.  A Philadelphia elections judge and Democratic Party official pleaded guilty Thursday [5/21/2020] to stuffing ballot boxes in favor of Democratic candidates in elections in 2014, 2015 and 2016, while collecting thousands of dollars in cash to make the changes.  Prosecutors hinted at an even broader conspiracy by an unnamed "political consultant" who charged his clients "consulting fees" then used some of the money to pay off multiple Election Board officials.  The U.S. Attorney's Office in Philadelphia won Thursday's guilty plea from Domenick J. DeMuro, who served as a judge of elections, responsible for overseeing a polling place during voting.  DeMuro was also a Democratic Party ward chairman.

New York just basically invited me to commit voter fraud.  A pair of letters arrived at our house yesterday for my wife and I.  They were identical in appearance and they came from the county Board of Elections.  Inside we found an application for an absentee ballot and a letter from the BoE.  This seemed rather odd since neither of us had applied for an absentee ballot, nor have we ever done so in the roughly quarter of a century that we've lived at this address.  We always vote in person.  The reason soon became clear.  New York State is going ahead with its primary election on June 23rd, but because of the pandemic, they will only have a limited number of polling places open.  With that in mind, they are offering us the chance to mail in our ballots instead of having to mix it up with the crowds at our normal polling place.

DNC Chair Perez:  Trump's Vote-by-Mail Opposition a 'Desperate Effort to Steal an Election'.  Wednesday [5/20/2020] on MSNBC, Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez accused President Donald Trump of attempting to "steal the election" by opposing vote-by-mail during the coronavirus pandemic.

Donald Trump Threatens to Punish Michigan for Mailing Absentee Ballot Applications to Voters.  President Donald Trump on Wednesday threatened to punish Michigan for mailing absentee ballot applications to all state voters ahead of the election.  "This was done illegally and without authorization by a rogue Secretary of State," Trump wrote on Twitter.  "I will ask to hold up funding to Michigan if they want to go down this Voter Fraud path!"

Stealing The 2020 Election Through The U.S. Mail.  emocrats and their media scribes have spent more than three years glued to the narrative that President Donald Trump stole the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton by colluding with Russia to rig the outcome.  But they don't care about the legitimacy of elections.  If they did, they wouldn't be agitating for voting by mail this fall.  "House Democrats have sought to drastically overhaul the American electoral system in light of the pandemic, arguing dramatic change is needed to allow Americans to vote safely," Politico reported last week.  It seems they have the public on their side.  A recent POLITICO/Morning Consult poll found nearly 60% of voters "either strongly or somewhat support a federal law that would mandate that states 'provide mail-in ballots to all voters for elections occurring during the coronavirus pandemic.'"

Republicans plan to recruit 50,000 volunteers to check for 'voting fraud' on Election Day.  Republicans are preparing a multi-million dollar, multi-state effort to recruit volunteers to monitor voting places for fraud, a move that could bolster President Donald Trump's claims Democrats will cheat in the November election.  President Trump repeatedly has complained elections are rigged: that Bernie Sanders lost the Democratic primary to Joe Biden because of it, that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in 2016 through cheating, and even last week's California special election, that Republicans won, was rigged.

Coronavirus-related mail voting is off again in Texas, as state Supreme Court weighs in.  The Texas Supreme Court late Friday [5/15/2020] overruled an appeals court's order that had allowed election officials across the state to temporarily give mail ballots to people who are afraid of being infected with the coronavirus.  Attorney General Ken Paxton said the court accepted his argument that mail ballots should not be granted to voters who fear catching COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus.  He said the Supreme Court's order stops the distribution of mail ballots under those conditions until his appeal is heard.  "I am pleased that today the Texas Supreme Court confirmed that my office may continue to prosecute voter fraud and issue guidance on mail-in ballots" while an appeal plays out, Paxton said in a statement.

Nevada's Mail-in Primary Shows Potential for Voter Fraud.  The Nevada primary is proving Republicans right about the dangers of voting-by-mail.  Thousands of ballots mailed to inactive voters, people who moved or perhaps even died, are reportedly stacking up outside apartment complexes and other areas in and around Las Vegas.  Nevada Democrats are currently fighting to overturn the state's ban on ballot harvesting, where Democratic activists collect ballots and then drop them off in bundles at polling stations.  In Orange County, California, the San Francisco Chronicle reported that every House seat in 2018 went to a Democrat after a record 250,000 vote-by-mail drop-offs were counted.  Some argue the signature requirement on the mail-in ballot, which is supposed to match the original signature on the registration card, is enough to deter fraud.  But it's not like the ballots are sent off to a forensics lab for handwriting analysis.  Besides, Democrats are currently fighting to remove the signature requirement from mail-in ballots anyway.

Don Jr responds to reports of unclaimed mail-in ballots piling up in Nevada.  With House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her Democratic Party cohorts fully intent on exploiting the coronavirus pandemic to ensure a nationwide vote-by-mail effort, the resulting concerns about voter fraud and ballot harvesting just got a major boost.  In Nevada, an all-mail voting system is being used in the most populous county in the state ahead of its June 9 primary election, and Fox News reported Thursday that red flags are being raised "amid reports that thousands of ballots are being sent to inactive voters."

Mail-In Ballots [are] No Magic Bullet For Dems.  The "Heroes Act" introduced Tuesday [5/12/2020] by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi should erase any doubt that the Democrats hope to leverage voting by mail and ballot harvesting into a November victory.  The legislation purports to be a coronavirus "rescue package," but it's a $3 trillion wish list that would strip the states of the power to determine how they conduct elections.  It would require every state to allow "no excuse" absentee voting, provide postage-paid mail-in ballots, mandate that votes are counted up to 10 days after Election Day, and eliminate voter ID laws.  Ironically, even if this bill had a prayer of passage in the Senate, it wouldn't achieve its goal.

Nunes Says CA Repubs Plan to Ballot Harvest in November; Here's How to Reduce Vote By Mail Fraud.  Twitter liberals, predictably [disappointed] about their shellacking and possessing unbearably short memories combined with an abundance of ignorance, pounced on Nunes, accusing him of planning to break the law because he pointed out that "ballot harvesting" is illegal in 49 states.  Guess which state is the one in which it is legal?  That's right.  California.  It's a law that was spearheaded by Democrat Asm.  Lorena Gonzalez and voted against by every Republican in the legislature.  Republican grassroots activists in California are overjoyed by Nunes' pronouncement, because they know there is no way other congressional seats will be flipped without it.  While state party officials claimed to be shocked at the harvesting that occurred in 2018, they were definitely warned.  I know this because I was one of the people who warned them.  I was a communications consultant on a congressional race in the state in 2018.

Hundreds of Mail-In Votes Already Set Aside Due to Voter Fraud Claims in Paterson.  More than 800 mail-in votes in one of New Jersey's largest cities have already been set aside, according to a county spokesperson, as an election is marred by allegations of voter fraud.  Those hundreds of votes represent about six percent of all ballots that have been sent in thus far in Paterson's election Tuesday, the county spokesman said, which couldn't be held through traditional in-person methods due to the coronavirus pandemic.  There are claims that mass batches of ballots are being sent in after images showed bundles of mail-in votes.  A town over, in Haledon, a post office spokesman confirms a bundle of 300 Paterson city ballots bundled in a mailbox there.  A statement from postal inspectors said that their findings were sent to the attorney general's office and the Board of Elections.  The mayor of Paterson says the voting problems could be criminal.

Texas attorney general asks state Supreme Court to step into fight over voting by mail.  In a bit of judicial leapfrog, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is asking the Texas Supreme Court to weigh in on his interpretation of how voters can qualify for absentee ballots during the coronavirus pandemic.  Various lawsuits are pending over whether eligibility for mail-in ballots can be expanded to voters who risk contracting the virus by voting in person.  Paxton believes it can't, and he asked the state's highest civil court Wednesday [5/13/2020] to issue a relatively rare writ of mandamus preventing local election officials from doing so.

A huge GOP blowout in Garcia's CA-25 House race win — with a wait for the ballot-harvest.  Has a mighty swing of the political pendulum finally come in California?  Has political sleaze finally flipped a Democrat stronghold?  Have the blue-state lockdown orders finally snapped voters to their senses?  Sure looks like it - a red shockwave, as Breitbart News put it.  Former Navy fighter pilot Mike Garcia, a Republican endorsed by President Trump, looks set for a huge upset win in California's special election for House District 25.  At last count, he had a 12 percentage point margin of victory. [...] The odious prospect of ballot-harvesting, to acquire just enough ballots to flip the race, is now in the works.  Ballot harvestors working on behalf of the Democrats are going into overtime to turn in another 17,000-plus uncast ballots, and they have till Friday to "find" them.

GOP poised to retake Katie Hill's California seat, as Trump-backed candidate wins big in Wisconsin.  [Mike] Garcia grabbed a substantial early lead Tuesday [5/12/2020] in the fight for the open U.S. House seat north of Los Angeles in the swing 25th District, giving California Republicans a chance to claim a Democratic-held congressional seat in the state for the first time since 1998.  With 76 percent of precincts reporting and approximately 143,000 ballots counted, Garcia was leading Democrat Christy Smith 55.9 percent to 44.1 percent.  But, California routinely counts large numbers of votes after election day.  An unknown number of ballots remained uncounted and Los Angeles County, where most of them are located, was not expected to update its tally again until Friday. [...] Mail-in ballots can arrive as late as Friday and still be counted provided they were postmarked by election day.

Florida must clean its voter rolls.  Florida has long been an attractive destination for the elderly.  Retirees and "snowbirds" who flock to the state comprise an important component of Florida's economy, but a perhaps morbid corollary is that Florida is well-experienced in dealing with the deaths of its residents.  It is therefore imperative that Florida have robust administrative processes for dealing with the ultimate event in the human life cycle.  The state needs to efficiently cancel driver's licenses and social welfare entitlements when residents pass away.  Similarly, there needs to be an efficient mechanism to remove the deceased from the state's voter registration rolls.  Perhaps Ponce de Leon was right.  Florida may indeed possess the fountain of youth.  How else could one account for Johan George Immelman of Orlando?  The voterrecords.com website lists him as an active voter at the chipper age of 169.

How is this connected to fighting disease?
Democrats' coronavirus bill would eliminate states' voter ID requirement.  Tucked inside House Democrats' new coronavirus bill is language that would create a loophole in states' voter ID requirements, allowing people to cast ballots without having to prove who they are.  While the crux of the bill, revealed Tuesday, is a massive injection of taxpayer aid for states, localities and federal agencies dealing with the virus, Democrats also tackled some of their long-standing political goals.  One section of the bill would require states to allow at least 15 days of in-person early voting before Election Day this year, and to also allow voting by mail for any reason, overriding states that have more limited policies.

Mail-In Ballots Are a Recipe for Confusion, Coercion, and Fraud.  Enormous pressure is being mounted to use our current crisis as an excuse to transform how we vote in elections.  "Coronavirus gives us an opportunity to revamp our electoral system," Obama's former attorney general, Eric Holder, recently told Time magazine.  "These are changes that we should make permanent because it will enhance our democracy."  The ideas Holder and others are proposing include requiring that a mail-in ballot be automatically sent to every voter, which would allow people to both register and vote on Election Day.  It would also permit "ballot harvesting," whereby political operatives go door-to-door collecting ballots that they then deliver to election officials.  All of these would dramatically reduce safeguards protecting election integrity.

Our Endangered Transfer of Power.  In a country so divided it's now a weakness our enemies can play to, President Trump joined his two immediate predecessors to become the third U.S. president in a row plagued by widespread illegitimacy claims.  The 2016 election is still perceived by many as tarnished by foreign intervention, and saw voters spontaneously take to the streets in protest of the results, violence during the inauguration, and multimillionaire entertainers campaigning openly for state electors to ignore the public and overturn the results of the election.

Universal Voting by Mail:  Ripe for Voter Fraud.  Amid coronavirus concerns, political leaders from both sides of the aisle are weighing their states' options for mail-in voting for the 2020 presidential elections.  Advocates for mail-in voting argue that it will be impossible to practice social distancing when voting in person, and thus to protect public health, mail-in-voting is a necessity.  This is mostly a politically driven ploy.  Mail-in voting is vulnerable.  Case in point:  I live in Maryland.  I received my mail-in ballot and a ballot for the previous owners.  There's a big warning on the form threatening a $1,000 fine and up to two years in prison.  Do you think that's stopped anyone that wants to mail in a ballot that wasn't theirs?

California: Gavin Newsom Orders Vote-by-Mail for November Election.  California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) on Friday signed an executive order permitting all registered voters in the Golden State to vote by mail in the upcoming presidential election, citing concerns stemming from the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.  "I signed an executive order that will allow every registered voter in California to receive a mail-in ballot," Newsom said.  "That mail-in ballot is important but it's not an exclusive substitute to physical locations."

In other words, you're being encouraged to vote in person, in addition to mailing in your ballot, and any other ballots you find in the trash can at the post office, or in your neighbor's mailbox, or in the dumpster at an apartment complex.

Florida groups claim 'unconstitutional poll tax' in new mail ballot lawsuit.  Three organizations are suing Florida over vote-by-mail requirements they claim limit people's right to vote during the coronavirus pandemic, amid ongoing efforts from left-leaning groups to change mail voting in the state.  Citing concerns of COVID-19 exposure during in-person voting, the groups — Priorities USA, Alianza for Progress and Florida Alliance for Retired Americans — filed suit Monday in federal court in Tallahassee, alleging in part that the postage required for a mail ballot in Florida amounts to "an unconstitutional poll tax," and that a ban on voter assistance violates the Voting Rights Act.  The suit comes during a growing legal push from voting rights organizations to change the way Florida, a major swing state, will conduct vote-by-mail elections during the Aug. 18 primary and the Nov. 3 general election.

Honoring America's Great Generation by Protecting their Votes.  Faced with challenges of aging such as sensory and mobility changes, access to transportation or a residence change to a new voting jurisdiction, seniors often rely on others to assist them with voting.  They are also are the trusting generation, and their personal values demonstrate an integrity they often assume is present in everyone.  Unfortunately, that is not the case.  Proven instances of vote fraud committed against the elderly occur at their homes and in coordinated activity at senior residences.  Fraudsters illegally harvest, manipulate, and falsify voter forms and ballots at senior communities.

ProPublica: Millions of Vote-by-Mail Ballots Aren't 'Missing' — They're Just 'Most Likely in Landfills'.  Last week I wrote about a new constellation of leftist philanthropy trying to influence the rules of the 2020 election, including pushing vote-by-mail, paying reporters to deny that voter fraud exists, and lobbying Congress to federalize state power over elections.  Less than 24 hours later, I saw these dollars in action — through a smear by the propagandists at ProPublica.  ProPublica is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) posing as a newsroom.  It is the new model in a changing media landscape, where groups like George Soros' Foundation to Promote Open Society give ProPublica hundreds of thousands of dollars and ProPublica does what the funders ask.  It should be no surprise that ProPublica is tasked with attacking anyone who reports on voter fraud or election security vulnerabilities but sometimes it rises to the level of parody.

Weaponizing Coronavirus, Leftist Foundations Dedicate Millions to Transform 2020 Elections.  New networks of leftist organizations have been created, fueled by hundreds of millions of dollars in confidentially-sourced donations dedicated to fundamentally transforming how the 2020 election is conducted.  Already, these networks have formed working groups, sponsored litigation, and lobbied Congress to pass federal mandates about how the 2020 election should be conducted.  They have even funded purported conservative organizations that place articles in conservative publications advocating for the fundamental transformations demanded by the left.  The coronavirus pandemic has sparked a frantic effort by the left to deploy massive new funding streams and to activate new aggressive and transformative organizations.  They are pushing for legislative changes such as federally-mandated vote-by-mail and the eradication of state election integrity laws, like absentee ballot witness signature requirements in Virginia.

28 Million Reasons Not to Trust a Mail-In Election.  "No idea."  That was the only answer state and local officials had.  When a federal elections commission started asking questions, not one person had any explanation for the 28.3 million mail-in ballots that have gone missing since 2012.  As far as they're concerned, 1 in 5 absentee votes just vanished.  No one knows if it's fraud, system failure, general ineptitude, or a combination of all three.  What we do know is that Democrats want us to trust this same process — on a national scale — this November.  Thank you, but no thank you.  Four elections.  At least 7 million missing votes each.

Appeals court, in blow to Kobach, strikes down Kansas law requiring proof of citizenship to vote.  A federal appeals court Wednesday declared unconstitutional a Kansas law that required proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote, with a rebuke for the Republican former secretary of state who had championed the requirement.  "This is a huge win for voters," said Rick Hasen, an election law expert at the University of California, Irvine.  "It clears away a law that disenfranchised thousands but prevented no appreciable amount of voter fraud."

Court hands blow to Dems who sued over Florida ballot order.  The state of Florida does not have to come up with a new way to list candidates on the ballot, a federal appellate court ruled Wednesday, dealing a blow to Democrats who argued that Republicans have an unfair advantage because the current system automatically lists their candidates first.  The high-stakes jockeying over name order on Florida's ballot is hardly inconsequential as Republicans and Democrats grapple for every advantage they can get in elections that are often too close to call on election night.  Tossing out a lower court's ruling, the appellate court found that the lawsuit filed by three Florida voters and several Democratic groups had wrongly targeted the state's chief elections officer, who the court said isn't responsible for printing ballots and setting the order in which names appear.

In Wisconsin, yet another Democratic 'we're all going to die' claim fails.  When the Wisconsin Supreme Court allowed Wisconsin's election to proceed on April 7, Democrats claimed that Republicans were trying to kill people.  It turns out (surprise!) that Democrats were wrong again.  On April 6, a day before Wisconsin residents were set to go to the polls to vote, Wisconsin's governor, Tony Evers, citing virus concerns, canceled the elections so they could be rescheduled for June.  The Legislature, however, countered that order by filing an emergency appeal with the Wisconsin Supreme Court.  That same day, the state Supreme Court, in a 4-2 ruling, blocked the order, allowing the election to take place.  The United States Supreme Court also ruled that absentee ballots had to be received by the end of Election Day to be counted.  Taken together, these rulings prevented ballot harvesting of the type that turned long-standing Republican counties in California bright blue.  Democrats were apoplectic.

Andrew Cuomo Orders Postage-Paid Absentee Ballot Applications Sent to Every New York Voter.  Election officials will automatically mail New Yorkers a postage-paid absentee ballot application during the coronavirus pandemic, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) said Friday [4/24/2020].  "We're making great progress to flatten the curve and decrease the spread of infection, but we don't know when this pandemic will end and we can't put democracy on hold," he stated.

Stealing the Election in Plain Sight.  Ballot-harvesting is a crime, forbidden due to the inherent opportunities for fraud, intimidation, and outright manufacture of votes.  The Democrats tried to legalize ballot-harvesting in the last stimulus go-round, but thankfully, they were caught and prevented from doing so.  Worse still, Elias's threats also seek to force Nevada to send a ballot to all registered voters, regardless of whether a voter requested a ballot or not.  As you'll see, Nevada is merely the target du jour.  The same will be expected of all 50 states before November 3, 2020.  This effort is spearheaded by former Clinton attorney Marc Elias, a partner at Perkins Coie law firm, the same firm that facilitated and helped disseminate the fraudulent Steele dossier, which launched the Russian collusion narrative.  Unsurprisingly, Elias was the attorney who engaged Fusion GPS to procure the dossier using funds laundered through Perkins Coie.

28 Million Mail-In Ballots Went Missing in Last Four Elections.  Between 2012 and 2018, 28.3 million mail-in ballots remain unaccounted for, according to data from the federal Election Assistance Commission.  The missing ballots amount to nearly one in five of all absentee ballots and ballots mailed to voters residing in states that do elections exclusively by mail.  States and local authorities simply have no idea what happened to these ballots since they were mailed — and the figure of 28 million missing ballots is likely even higher because some areas in the country, notably Chicago, did not respond to the federal agency's survey questions.  This figure does not include ballots that were spoiled, undeliverable, or came back for any reason.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton:  Democrats Hope to Loosen Voting Rules to Turn State Blue.  Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton [...] discussed the Democrats' increased calls for vote-by-mail, describing the situation in Texas as "really simple.  "The law doesn't allow for mail-in ballots in the cases that this judge ruled that they should be allowed," he said of the recent decision of a Travis County district court judge, who ruled that registered voters should be able to use the coronavirus pandemic as a legitimate reason to vote by mail.

Federal Court Orders Maryland to Release Complete Voter Registration Records.  Judicial Watch announced today [4/22/2020] that a federal court ordered the State of Maryland to produce the voter list for Montgomery County that includes the registered voters' date of birth.  This court ruling is the latest in a series of victories for Judicial Watch in its lawsuit filed July 18, 2017, against Montgomery County and the Maryland State Boards of Elections under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA).  Judicial Watch filed suit for the Maryland voter list data after uncovering that there were more registered voters in Montgomery County than citizens over the age of 18 who could legally register.

'Granny farming': How Democratic ballot harvesting could leave seniors vulnerable to coronavirus.  We know how COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on senior citizen nursing homes across the country, but as November's general election inches forward, there's a political virus that very well could be in the air as well: "granny farming," a practice in which political operatives seek out massive groups of senior citizens to help them request mail-in ballots and then assist them in filling their ballots out when they arrive.  In his book "Fraud:  How the Left Plans to Steal the Next Election," author and researcher Eric Eggers details examples of how this process is carried out.  According to Eggers, one blind man in Florida testified, "No, I didn't fill out this ballot.  Somebody filled it out for me against my wishes."

15 Election Results That Were Thrown Out Because of Fraudulent Mail-In Ballots.  Voter fraud is too nominal to make a difference in any given election, goes one popular line of argument.  But tell that to voters in parts of Florida, Missouri, New York, and North Carolina in recent years.  Districts in these four states saw election outcomes overturned after absentee voter fraud came to light.  Now, with millions of Americans homebound because of COVID-19, progressives are amping up their push for national mail-in voting as Michelle Obama throws her support behind related legislation purporting to be a response to the pandemic.

Dem Sen. Coons Calls for $3.6 Billion Vote-by-Mail Funding — 'We Ought to Be Able to Do This'.  In a Sunday [4/19/2020] interview with MSNBC's "Kasie DC," Sen. Chris Coons (D-DE) called for $3.6 billion in funding to allow vote-by-mail in 2020 amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.  Coons noted people in the military and diplomats vote via mail and that President Donald Trump requested an absentee ballot for the upcoming election, advising if some states can vote entirely by mail, then it should not be an issue while there are shelter-in-place orders.

An all-mail election would be rife with fraud.  During my reelection campaign for Congress in 2012, I traveled throughout my expansive district and knocked on many doors.  Some people I met responded, "I'm sorry, I'm not a citizen so I don't vote."  This was puzzling since I was knocking on their door precisely because their name was on a voter registration list provided to me by the state.  I also visited empty lots, addresses with multiple names, and mailboxes (not residences) matching the names on my voter rolls.  How did those names get on the list?

In 2005, panel co-chaired by Jimmy Carter found: 'Absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud'.  [Scroll down]  ["]Studies of absentee voters have consistently shown they tend to reflect the population or lean slightly to the right.  But when ballot harvesting was deployed in California, we saw late ballots break heavily for Democrats. ... The San Francisco Chronicle reported that elsewhere in the state, Orange County voters on election night 2018 were calling the registrar's office asking if it was legitimate for someone to come to their door and ask if they could take their ballot.  Who was coming to the door?  According to a January 2019 Los Angeles Times story, illegal Dreamers were deeply engaged in the process — not just delivering ballots, but helping voters fill them out.["]  Chances of increasing vote fraud are also why Democrats consistently oppose any Voter ID laws and other efforts to require people to prove who they are and that they have a right to vote as a citizen.

Sebastian Gorka:  Greatest Threat from Coronavirus Is Democrat Push for Mail-in-Voting.  [Scroll down]  Democrat governors and mayors are using the coronavirus outbreak to expand their control over the population, noted Gorka.  "This week, Gov. Northam, the butcher of Richmond, under the cover of the coronavirus, has been taking unconstitutional decisions left, right, and center."  Gorka continued, "[Ralph Northam] changed the laws on all the purchasing of handguns.  He said that no ID is required to vote in Virginia.  This is a taste of what the party — the Democrats — are going to do across the nation."

Eric Holder:  Coronavirus is 'an opportunity' to permanently change US voting system.  Former President Barack Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder acknowledged that he sees the coronavirus as "an opportunity" to change the way U.S. citizens vote forever.  "Coronavirus gives us an opportunity to revamp our electoral system so that it permanently becomes more inclusive and becomes easier for the American people to access," Holder told Time magazine.  Holder went on to say that he supports shifting toward a system with more mail-in ballots.

The Story Behind New Mexico's Victory Over Vote-Fraud-Protection-Free Mail-In Voting.  The coronavirus pandemic has renewed Democrat demands for changing our elections to mail-in balloting.  The tip of the spear was their lawsuit in the New Mexico Supreme Court where Democrat public officials demanded that the Court order all mail-in balloting for the primary election on June 2, prohibiting absentee and in-person balloting.  In a stunning decision late Tuesday, after a two-hour oral argument, the New Mexico Supreme Court refused.  If Democrats had won, they would have taken that decision nationwide.

Valerie Jarrett: 'We Should Make It as Easy as Possible to Vote,' Including Expanded Absentee Ballots.  Appearing Wednesday on MSNBC, former President Barack Obama senior advisor Valerie Jarrett said the federal government should make it "as easy as possible" for people to vote as Democrats continue to push a vote-by-mail option ahead of the 2020 election.

California State Election Official Confirms Double-Voting by Mail in Super Tuesday Primary.  California Secretary of State Alex Padilla has confirmed that double-voting by mail took place in the March 3, 2020, Super Tuesday primary, Breitbart News has exclusively learned.  Days before Super Tuesday, citizen watchdog group Election Integrity Project California sent a letter to Padilla requesting his office look into possible double voting in the 2020 primary election.  More than a month later, in a letter dated April 7, 2020, Padilla confirmed double-voting in one case and suspected double-voting by a number of other registered voters on Super Tuesday, according to the letter obtained by Breitbart News.

True The Vote Ends Left's Vote-by-Mail Scheme in New Mexico as National Battle Intensifies.  True The Vote (TTV), a grassroots organization supporting election integrity, on Tuesday stopped leftist efforts to force New Mexico to shift to a mail-in election system in the state's upcoming June primary.  What leftist county clerks and the Secretary of State were trying to accomplish in New Mexico was to get the state's Supreme Court to assert control over how the state would handle elections rather than the legislature, where elected state lawmakers normally set procedure for how elections are conducted.

Tucker Carlson: 'Democrats Encourage Voter Fraud Because It Helps Them Win Elections'.  Fox News host Tucker Carlson argued that Democrats "encourage" making voter fraud easier "because it helps them win elections."  Carlson began the Tuesday night "Tucker Carlson Tonight" monologue by pointing out that those, including Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam, who consider the current crisis an "opportunity."  After listing several bills Northam signed over Easter weekend and calling them an "entire rundown from an MSNBC weekend show all signed into law," the Fox News host pointed out one "that ought to worry you, even if you're lucky enough not to live in Virginia."  "His so-called 'election reforms,'" Carlson said.  [Video clip]  "With his signature, Klanrobes eliminated all of Virginia's voter ID laws," Carlson said.  "He signed legislation that allows residents to vote up to 45 days before an election, for any reason.  There is also automatic voter registration for anyone using the state's DMV, including those who do it online."

Democrat Lawyer Behind 'Russia Dossier' Pressures Nevada to Allow 'Ballot Harvesting'.  A lawyer whose firm hired Fusion GPS to produce opposition research on Donald Trump leading to the phony "Russia dossier" has written to the State of Nevada pressuring it to bow to Democrat demands to allow "ballot harvesting."  Mark Elias, a Perkins Coie lawyer who once represented Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, wrote on behalf of the Nevada Democratic Party to Nevada Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske on April 10 demanding that the state refrain from prosecuting violations of current state law, which only allows "a member of the voter's family" to return an absentee ballot on their behalf.  It is a felony for someone other than a family member to submit a ballot on someone else's behalf.

Virginia Governor Signs Legislation Repealing Voter ID Law.  Virginia will no longer require voters to present a photo ID in order to cast a ballot, Governor Ralph Northam announced Sunday [4/12/2020] as he signed several pieces of voter access legislation. [...] The governor also signed legislation to make Election Day a state holiday, repealing and replacing Lee-Jackson Day, which honored Confederate generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson.  Additionally, Virginia will implement automatic voter registration for people who access services at the DMV and expand polling station hours as well as early and absentee voting.  Polling stations will be open until 8 p.m. instead of 7 p.m.  Voters will be able to vote up to 45 days before to an election without providing the state with an approved excuse.

Heed Jimmy Carter on the Danger of Mail-In Voting 'Absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud.'.  'Absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud."  That quote isn't from President Trump, who criticized mail-in voting this week after Wisconsin Democrats tried and failed to change an election at the last minute into an exclusively mail-in affair.  It's the conclusion of the bipartisan 2005 report of the Commission on Federal Election Reform, chaired by former President Jimmy Carter and former Secretary of State James Baker III.  Concerns about vote-buying have a long history in the U.S.  They helped drive the move to the secret ballot, which U.S. states adopted between 1888 and 1950. Secret ballots made it harder for vote buyers to monitor which candidates sellers actually voted for.  Vote-buying had been pervasive; my research with Larry Kenny at the University of Florida has found that voter turnout fell by about 8% to 12% after states adopted the secret ballot.

George Soros-Funded Group Pushes Nationwide Drop Boxes for Voting [Fraud].  The Brennan Center for Justice, which is heavily financed by George Soros, is advocating the use of drop boxes to deposit ballots on voting day this November as part of a suggested overhaul of the U.S. voting system due to the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.  With other Soros-financed groups, the Brennan Center has been leading a campaign advocating a "vote by mail" system in the upcoming presidential election, citing fears that coronavirus makes it too dangerous to vote in person.  Some of the groups are using the coronavirus crisis to push permanent changes to the way Americans vote.  Analysts have posited that such proposals help the Democratic Party.  Republicans specifically fear the prospect of voter fraud, since mail-in voting would be harder to authenticate.

Because voting on Election Day is such a shhhhtruggle...
Michelle Obama backs expansion of absentee voting.  Michelle Obama is championing an expansion of vote-by-mail options with her voting rights group, When We All Vote, which is endorsing federal legislation for the first time.  The former first lady and the celebrity-backed organization will announce Monday [4/13/2020] their support for legislation introduced by a handful of Democratic lawmakers during the COVID-19 crisis, according to Axios.  The legislation gives all registered voters the ability to vote by absentee ballot and makes it easier for voters to obtain mail-in ballots.

Obama won't publicly endorse his former VP for president, but he'll publicly endorse 'mail-in' vote fraud.  Obama tends to pop up from his multi-million dollar digs in Martha's Vineyard when something is really important to him, when he sees an opportunity to advance his Marxist agenda.  Like now, during the coronavirus pandemic that has been hyped and hyped and hyped as a planet killer by his Garbage Party and their media propagandists.  The former president came out and formally endorsed Democratic efforts to nationalize California-style "ballot harvesting" and mail-in vote fraud, using the alleged 'danger' of the COVID-19 virus as justification.

US Postal Service investigating issues with absentee ballots in Wisconsin that went undelivered.  The United States Postal Service is conducting an investigation into issues that were reported with the delivery of absentee ballots in Wisconsin, which held its primary election this week despite concerns over the spread of the coronavirus.  The investigation comes after Wisconsin Sens. Ron Johnson, a Republican, and Tammy Baldwin, a Democrat, called on the USPS to look into claims absentee ballots that were requested ahead of the election but were never delivered or arrived only after the election had passed.  Johnson and Baldwin sent a letter to the USPS Thursday [4/10/2020] urging a probe into missing ballots.

Obama Exploits Pandemic to Push for Mail-in Voting.  And now, we have former President Barack Obama trying to lend some legitimacy to the concept of voting by mail. [...] The Democrats love the idea of voting by mail because it becomes much easier to steal an election.  Add to that the nationwide legalization of ballot harvesting, and it would be the end of the Republican Party.  In 2016, ballot harvesting was legalized in California.  A party volunteer collects the paper ballots (absentee ballots) from voters who are unable or do not wish to vote in person and then delivers these ballots to a precinct.  The opportunity to commit fraud with this practice is immense.  In 2018, Democrats flipped several House seats in what had once been the Republican stronghold of Orange County from red to blue. [...] Tom Fitton, the founder and president of Judicial Watch, tweeted that the "Left's "vote by mail" abuse would blow up clean elections in November.  The Pelosi/Clinton scheme would result in sending ballots to zombie voters, the end of voter id, and wide scale voter intimidation."

Judicial Watch Sues North Carolina for 1M Inactive Voters on Voting Rolls.  Judicial Watch, a watchdog organization, has filed a lawsuit against North Carolina and two of its counties for having nearly one million inactive voters on their voting rolls.  On Thursday [4/9/2020], Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit against North Carolina, Mecklenburg County, and Guildford County, alleging that state election officials have failed to clean voter rolls in violation of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993.

Team Trump to Jim Acosta:  Here's Your Examples of Mail-In Voter Fraud.  President Donald Trump's re-election campaign on Wednesday responded to CNN reporter Jim Acosta, who demanded evidence of the president's claims of voter fraud.  "You've been talking about voter fraud since the beginning of this administration and where is the evidence of it?" Acosta asked during the White House press briefing, insisting that "all the experts say voter fraud is rare."  Trump replied, "I think there's a lot of evidence, but we'll provide you with some, okay?"  The president's re-election campaign responded quickly to Acosta's request, noting there were nine people charged in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas with "vote harvesting" and mail ballots, a political operative in New York stealing and submitting absentee ballots, and a resident in Pennsylvania receiving seven separate ballots in the mail.  The campaign also shared a Heritage Foundation document of over 1,000 proven cases of vote fraud.

A Sampling of Election Fraud Cases from Across the Country.  The United States has a long and unfortunate history of election fraud.  The Heritage Foundation is providing a list of election fraud cases from across the country, broken down by state, where individuals were either convicted of vote fraud, or where a judge overturned the results of an election.  This is not an exhaustive list but simply a sampling that demonstrates the many different ways in which fraud is committed.  Preventing, deterring, and prosecuting such fraud is essential to protecting the integrity of our voting process.

Coronavirus vs. voting laws — Democrats exploit crisis for election power grab.  [Speaker Nancy] Pelosi recently announced that she will try to insert the controversial election measure into the next stimulus package, which is supposed to focus on helping our country overcome the COVID-19 pandemic.  In the midst of this crisis, the American people want our leaders in Washington to combat the coronavirus and plan for an economic recovery.  Instead, Democrats plan a crass political move that will not even secure the right of each registered voter to cast his or her vote on Election Day.  What it will do is undermine states' ballot security measures — such as voter ID requirements — in order to lock in future Democrat election victories regardless if they are free, fair and legitimate.

Democrats say voting is undemocratic.  Democrats are livid that Wisconsin held an election on Tuesday [4/7/2020].  DNC chairman Tom Perez said, "This was a dark day for our democracy."  The Democrat governor tried to use the COVID-19 panic to postpone the election.  Both the Supreme Court and the state Supreme Court ruled against him in different aspects of his attempt to rewrite state election law. [...] 94 people in Wisconsin died with COVID-19.  That is 2 per 100,000 people.  The state has shut down except for essential services.  According to Democrats, voting isn't essential.  This was a primarily a primary election and it could have been postponed, except it also was an election for the state Supreme Court, which is why Democrats complained.  They want to put a loony lefty on the court.

Ginsburg blasts Supremes' ruling as jeopardizing voters' safety; Pelosi says SCOTUS is 'undermining our democracy'.  Late Monday night [4/6/2020], the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Wisconsin cannot accept absentee votes that are mailed in and postmarked after the Tuesday primary and general judicial election date.  The 5-4 decision was reached in an ideological manner, with the majority conservative bloc unanimous in their opposition to the state's Democrat effort to extend the deadline by six days for absentee ballots.  Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote a fierce dissenting opinion on behalf of the court's liberal wing.  Democrats had claimed that the absentee ballot extension was needed to safeguard voters in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.

All-Mail Vote:  Great for Lawyers, Awful for Election Integrity.  The phrase "Never let a crisis go to waste" has resurfaced recently.  President Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, a product of the Chicago political machine, most famously gave Democrats this advice amid the financial crisis of 2008 to push through a laundry list of the progressive agenda.  We are seeing the same thing as part of Democrats' response to the COVID-19 pandemic.  This time around, one of the top items on Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.) list is vote by mail.  Democrats for years have been looking for ways to weaken voter laws.  They claim it will make it easier for folks to vote.  Of course, anyone who opposes Democratic efforts to weaken election integrity is subject to the usual unfounded and meaningless blanket criticisms from the left.  Now Pelosi and Joe Biden are calling for a massive expansion of vote by mail under the guise of a necessary response to the COVID-19 pandemic.  This is a terrible idea that will have devastating, long-term consequences for our system of government.

GOP Gears Up for Next Relief Fight:  Democrats 'Want the Federal Government to Take Over Elections'.  The GOP is gearing up for what could be a contentious battle over the next stage of coronavirus relief, as Democrats continue to signal their desire to pursue a variety of changes related to the U.S. election.  Republicans and Democrats are expected to begin the process of crafting the next stage of economic relief after successfully passing a bipartisan measure to provide relief to small businesses and individuals affected by the coronavirus pandemic last month.  The measure ultimately passed unanimously in the Senate, but it initially did not go without opposition, as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) attempted to offer her own version of relief filled with a variety of liberal "wish list" items, including major changes to voting methods

Wisconsin Supreme Court rules governor can't delay voting.  Wisconsin's Tuesday primary is back on.  In a 4-2 decision along ideological lines, the state's Supreme Court ruled Monday [4/6/2020] that Democratic Gov. Tony Evers does not have the authority to move the scheduled primary to June 9.  Evers attempted to delay the primary due to the coronavirus pandemic through an executive order issued the day before the scheduled primary.  Republican lawmakers in the state immediately responded to Evers's attempted order by challenging it in court.  Those in the Republican-controlled legislature have blocked delaying of the primary.  The ruling means that the Democratic presidential primary and hundreds of local elections will proceed as scheduled despite the risk of voters and poll workers increasing the spread of the coronavirus.

Wisconsin Supreme Court Overturns Liberal Governor's Last Minute Call to Postpone Elections.  On Monday Wisconsin liberal Governor Tony Evers suspended Tuesday's state election until June.  This was a reversal from his stated position just days ago.  It could be because the Democrat candidate for the state supreme court was likely running behind the popular conservative Judge Daniel Kelly.  Conservative Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Daniel Kelly creamed his two Democrat opponents in February's nonpartisan open primary.

Wisconsin moves forward with election despite virus concerns.  Hours after Democratic Gov. Tony Evers issued an order postponing the election for two months, the conservative-controlled Wisconsin Supreme Court on Monday sided with Republicans who said he didn't have the authority to reschedule the race on his own.

House Democrats reveal plan to attack security of military votes.  [I]n the Coronavirus relief package recently passed by Congress, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her fellow Democrats tried to include language making it easier to commit vote fraud with the ballots of our military stationed overseas.  House Democrats' proposed additions to the Families First Coronavirus Response Act included changes to election law that would provide cover for individuals and activists yearning for federal protection for voting fraud schemes that could include military ballot manipulation. [...] House Democrats used the word "temporary" twenty-two times in their legislative requests.  But all changes to election law were to "go into effect in the November 2020 election and for each succeeding federal election."  Pelosi and team wanted to make sure provisions imperiling election integrity, particularly military votes, were permanent.

'I think a lot of people cheat': Trump dismisses expanded mail-in voting during coronavirus outbreak.  President Trump said he did not want to see expanded mail-in voting during the coronavirus pandemic because of the potential for fraudulent votes.  "Do you think every state in the country should be prepared for mail-in voting?" ABC's Jonathan Karl asked Trump during a Friday press conference.  "No, because I think a lot of people cheat with mail-in voting," the president responded.  "And it shouldn't be mail-in voting.  It should be, you go to a booth, and you probably display yourself.  You don't send it in the mail where people pick up all sorts of bad things can happen by the time they sign that, if they sign that, if they sign that, by the time it gets and is tabulated.  No.  It should not be mailed-in.  You should vote at the booth, and you should have voter ID."

George Soros Groups Pushing Democrat Scheme for Mail-In Voting.  Progressive organizations, many backed by billionaire activist George Soros, are at the front lines of a campaign advocating for a "vote by mail" system in the upcoming presidential election, citing fears that the Chinese coronavirus pandemic makes it too dangerous to vote in person.  President Donald Trump warned that voting by mail would hurt the Republican Party, lambasting Democrat proposals for more money in the coronavirus stimulus bill to fund absentee and vote-by-mail options.

Voting by Mail Is a Terrible Democrat Idea that Invites Fraud.  Democrats want to mail every American a 2020 ballot and have people come to your house to pick up those ballots.  Can you imagine?  Can you imagine mailing out some 150 million ballots to every registered voter and having some politicized "organizer" pick them up?  "Sir, I'm here to pick up your presidential ballot."  "I haven't filled it out.  You know, I'm not really paying attention."  "That's no problem.  Why don't you let me help you with that."

States consider November voting changes amid coronavirus.  States are weighing measures to change voting rules in November's presidential election as they struggle with social-distancing orders during the worldwide coronavirus outbreak, according to a report Tuesday.  "More people who vote early or vote by mail, means fewer people standing in line on election day," California Secretary of State Alex Padilla told the Axios news website.  But the effort to keep voters from going to the polls in person Nov. 3 faces legislative and financial roadblocks.  The price for states to change their methods of voting could pass $2 billion, Axios said.  And 12 states don't allow voters to cast ballots by mail.

Using COVID-19 to Kill Vote Security.  Probably the worst part of the coronavirus lockdown is the realization that Americans will put up with virtually any edict, no matter how draconian, and any subsidy, no matter how ridiculous, if they are scared about their health and worried about the economy.  Our system will eventually return to normal, but we now know that it doesn't take much to jettison the country's various checks and balances and constitutional protections, at least temporarily.  We've got to be particularly careful, though, about activists and politicians who are using the coronavirus situation to push for far-reaching and permanent changes to our system.  One of the worst ideas now getting a serious hearing involves internet and app-based voting. [...] Yes, some reformers want Americans to vote using laptops and cellphones.  If such ideas get traction, however, it could mean the end of the integrity of our elections.

Ohio uses smoke and mirrors on voters.  The primary election in OH was set for March 10, 2020.  Then someone in Columbus, without explanation, changed the date to March 17, St. Patrick's Day.  The cynical among us believe that the hope was that fewer voters would turn out that day, with the Cleveland parade and all, which of course was cancelled for the first time in 178 years.  Except that lifelong politician and Governor Mike DeWine cancelled elections at 3:30 a.m. on the 17th itself.  He had gone to court earlier that day to try to stop the primary.  DeWine said he would go along with the judge's decision.  The judge said "no" and all of a sudden the judge's decision was unimportant.  It took DeWine's cronies until 3:30 a.m. to get four Ohio Supreme Court judges to agree by phone to call off voting.  (Was that even legal?)  DeWine set the new date as June 2.  Then on March 25, the General Assembly passed H.B. 197, resetting the date to April 28, 2020.

Governor Northam Closes Virginia Until Day After GOP Primary.  We had a call in the previous hour from woman in Cincinnati very, very worried that elections will never be the same because they're arbitrarily being canceled, delayed, shut down, and, in many cases, they're arbitrarily being delayed, shut down for the benefit of a particular political party. [...] Now, why did Governor Northam in Virginia choose Wednesday, June 10th, as the date that people can finally leave?  Well, guess what?  The Republican primary in Virginia is June the 9th.

Joe Biden is Barack Obama without the fake Greek columns.  [Scroll down]  Perhaps the most obvious and cynical way Democrats in Washington exposed themselves during this pandemic was their nakedly partisan effort to expand — of all things — "voting from home" in the massive bailout bill.  Also known as "ballot harvesting," this scheme strips away every safeguard designed to ensure election integrity in America.  After all, this is the same party that managed to lose an election to President Trump.  The only way they have any hope of winning is to entirely rig the whole thing.  There is also talk in Washington these days of doing something just as bad as ballot harvesting.  Some people want to allow congressmen and senators to be allowed to cast ballots from anywhere.  These people are bad enough being allowed to vote while in Washington.  Why on earth would we want to encourage them by allowing them to vote from home, too?

Secretary of State Simon:  Minnesota should prepare for 'a different kind of election' amid COVID-19.  With the COVID-19 pandemic and a major upcoming election, Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon said Minnesotans should prepare for "a different kind of election."  "The current public health crisis has been a serious test for all Minnesotans.  It has also been a test for our democracy," Simon said in a statement.  "I've heard from many Minnesotans who wonder how, or even if, we will vote in this high-stakes election year.  My answer is clear:  The 2020 statewide elections should go on as scheduled."  Election alternatives Simon has been looking to include statewide include mail ballots and expanding absentee voting.

Cornonavirus Is No Reason for the Feds to Take Over the Election Process.  COVID-19 — is there anything the coronavirus can't do?  Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) seem to think it should make the feds tell the states how to run their elections.  They've introduced a bill that would do just that.  S. 3529, the "Natural Disaster and Emergency Ballot Act of 2020" is aptly named because it could bring an electoral disaster in November.  Not only is it unnecessary, but it would also make it easier to fiddle with election results.  Under our Constitution, Congress sets the time, place, and manner of federal elections, but it is the states and particularly county governments that actually administer the elections.  Our Founders designed this structure because they understood that giving the federal government authority to run elections would also give that government — including the incumbents controlling Congress and the incumbent in the White House — the ability to manipulate election rules to ensure their desired election outcomes.

Nine Liberal Pet Projects Smuggled Into Pelosi's Coronavirus Bill.  [#9] Sixty pages on elections:  Last but not least, the coronavirus legislation has 60 pages of federal mandates for elections.  Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Ill.), ranking member of the Committee on House Administration, noted that "the programs Democrats are forcing States to adopt, like early voting and no excuse absentee ballots, have been known to take some States over 5 years to successfully implement.  There's no way States would be able to follow these outrageous demands before the 2020 elections."  Worse, the bill includes a provision for ballot harvesting.  The legislation enables political operatives in every state to come to a voter's house to pick up his or her ballot and take it to the polling station.

Obviously, if a ballot favors the Republican candidates, the messenger would deliver it to the nearest trash can or paper shredder.

Nancy Pelosi's Attempt To Legalize Ballot Box Stuffing.  Democrats, who have in the past taken stealing elections to heights never dreamed by the founders, have always clutched their pearls and insisted there is no such thing.  But just read the history of the democrat party and you will see they are, as usual, lying.  (JFK-LBJ in particular)  Recently there's this slick little thing they came up with called "Ballot Harvesting".  Made legal in California in 2016, and first used in the 2018 midterm elections, democrat operatives dropped hundreds of thousands of ballots off at polling stations helping Democrats flip seven Republican congressional seats.  Just a 'Milk Run' for when they ever regain control of congress.  Harvesting allows people to canvas, with ballots in hand, Nursing Homes, Homeless shelters, Rehab facilities, [...] etc. and (in states with same day registration) register and help fill out ballots *wink wink* and deliver them to polling stations.  There is no process for vetting or verifying those delivering the ballots, no background checks or identification requirements.  Now you understand why democrats are so against purging voter roles of long inactive voters?

Pelosi 'Stimulus' Bill Imposes Nationwide 'Ballot Harvesting' Without 'Any Limit'.  Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi's new stimulus bill would mandate nationwide "ballot harvesting," allowing party operatives to return other people's ballots to polling places without "any limit" on the number of ballots.  "Ballot harvesting" was legalized in California in 2016, and first used in the 2018 midterm elections.  It allows anyone to drop off someone else's mail-in ballot at a polling station.  There is no process for vetting or verifying those delivering the ballots — no background checks or identification requirements.  Democrats dropped hundreds of thousands of ballots off at polling stations in 2018, helping Democrats as they flipped seven Republican seats.

Indiana postpones primary due to coronavirus fears.  Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb (R) announced Friday that his state will postpone its May 5 primary to June 2, making the Hoosier State the seventh to delay its nominating contest over the coronavirus.  "The right of citizens to elect their leaders in a free and open election is one of the cornerstones of America.  In order to balance that right with the safety of county employees, poll workers and voters, delaying Indiana's primary election is the right move as we continue to do all we can to protect Hoosiers' health," Holcomb said in a statement.

I'd rather take my chances with the virus than risk what might happen to this country without elections.  The government is not supposed to guarantee our continued good health.  The government is supposed to protect our freedom.

Texas's Largest County Settles Lawsuit Over Noncitizens on Voter Rolls.  The largest county in Texas settled a lawsuit with a watchdog group after refusing to release records dealing with noncitizens on its voter rolls.  A federal district court in Houston entered a settlement agreement this week between the Harris County voter registrar and the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF).  The settlement calls for the county to turn over records on its cancellations of ineligible voters, copies of registration applications that have blank or negative responses to citizenship questions, and all registrar communications with law enforcement regarding ineligible registrants, among other records.  Officials from Harris County, the most populous county in Texas, previously testified that "thousands" of noncitizens were discovered on its voter rolls every year.  The settlement comes as the election watchdog group seeks to clean voter rolls in major cities ahead of the November elections.

Leftists Using Pretext of Coronavirus Outbreak to Push Unsecure "Vote by Mail" Free For All.  Never let a crisis go to waste, right?  Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton sounded the alarm and said the left is using the Coronavirus panic to push vote-by-mail in order to try to steal elections.

Coronavirus: Hillary Clinton Calls to 'Make Voting by Mail the Norm' in 2020.  Former Democratic Party presidential nominee Hillary Clinton called on Congress to "make voting by mail the norm" with "free postage" as a result of public health concerns due to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.  President Donald Trump said earlier this week that he expects the current national emergency to last through July or August.  The White House has not yet said what, if any, preparations might be needed for the November election.

Illinois Primary Election:  Chicago election officials wanted polls closed due to COVID-19, IL Governor Pritzker said no.  As turnout tanked in Tuesday's [3/17/2020] Illinois primary, election officials in Chicago said they tried to get in-person voting called off by state officials and were turned down.  Predicting fear among voters and pollworkers, the chief spokesman for Chicago's Board of Election Commissioners Tuesday morning unleashed a critical attack on Illinois governor JB Pritzker and the state's decision to plow ahead with presidential primary voting in the face of a coronavirus pandemic.

Reliability of pricey new voting machines questioned.  In the rush to replace insecure, unreliable electronic voting machines after Russia's interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential race, state and local officials have scrambled to acquire more trustworthy equipment for this year's election, when U.S. intelligence agencies fear even worse problems.  But instead of choosing simple, hand-marked paper ballots that are most resistant to tampering because paper cannot be hacked, many are opting for pricier technology that computer security experts consider almost as risky as earlier discredited electronic systems.

Democrat Voter Fraud in Minnesota.  Voter Fraud in Minnesota, and one can presume elsewhere, is practiced almost entirely by Democrats, who have waged a relentless campaign to block any attempt to block ineligible voters from voting, or eligible voters from voting more than once as "voter suppression."  It's actually technically incorrect to say that there is large voter fraud in Minnesota, because what you and I would consider voter fraud is in fact legal in Minnesota.  The Democrats euphemistic phrase for voter fraud is "ineligible voting" but the manipulation of the voting system is still fraudulent and so it's still voter fraud.  Most voters of either party are totally unaware of what's going on.  Voter fraud In Minnesota is practiced almost entirely by Democrats through a two-part process.  First, they construct election laws that are designed to tolerate ineligible voting and, second, they don't enforce even the weak constraints in those statutes.  Most voters of either party are totally unaware of what's going on.  Here is how it works. [...]

The phrase Democrat voter fraud is redundant.  As far as I know, all voter fraud is perpetrated by Democrats.

Kansas City mayor is turned away from polls, told he 'wasn't in the system'.  Moments after making a plea for people to get out and vote in the Missouri primary Tuesday, Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas was turned away from the polls and told he "wasn't in the system," the mayor said on Twitter.  "I made a video this morning about the importance of voting and then got turned away because I wasn't in the system even though I've voted there for 11 years, including for myself four times!" Lucas said.

Dems won't have to remove 209,000 ineligible voters from the rolls.  A judge in Wisconsin ruled in January that 209,000 names must be removed from the voter rolls.  Three Democrats charged with removing the names refused and the League of Women Voters filed suit to keep the names on the rolls.  A three-judge panel on an appeals court overturned the ruling at the end of February, saying the names get to stay over an interpretation of the law.  Wisconsin is a battleground state and legitimate voter rolls are crucial.  Ozaukee County Judge Paul Malloy ruled that the commission will be fined $50 per day until it starts removing the roughly 230,000 voters off the rolls.  Malloy is also fining commission members Ann Jacobs, Julie Glancey and Mark Thomsen $250 per day until they start doing the work.  The three Democrats refused to remove the names.

Sketchy — 44 Dallas County Precincts Were NOT Included in Super Tuesday Results — Election Officials Request Recount.  On Super Tuesday the biggest shock was that Joe Biden won Texas in the Democrat presidential primary.  Specifically, it was the moment when results from Dallas County, Texas, were reported when the media narrative of a Biden win began to be broadcast.  Go back to election night, re-watch the coverage, and you'll see all media broadcasting pointing to Dallas County, Texas, as the Biden inflection point.

Dallas County asks to recount Super Tuesday election results after 44 thumb drives discovered.  Dallas County Elections Administrator Toni Pippins-Poole discovered her office did not count about 10% of the ballots that voters cast on Super Tuesday.  She is now asking a court to let her conduct a manual recount of the votes, after she discovered 44 thumb drives containing ballots that were not included in the final results. [...] "Of the 44 thumb drives, 16 were not received in a timely manner to the Elections Department and 28 were from voting machines not scheduled to be used but were used by volunteer election officials," Pippins-Poole said in a statement Saturday evening [3/7/2020] addressing the blunder.

The Editor says...
Any time there are votes pouring in, days after the election, "from voting machines not scheduled to be used," that's highly irregular and definitely suspect.  It sounds like the "voting machines not scheduled to be used" were instead used to rack up votes for the candidate preferred by the party bosses.  Lyndon B. Johnson would have loved electronic voting.

More than 675,000 L.A. County ballots still haven't been counted.  Nearly 32% of ballots cast in Los Angeles County in Tuesday's primary election remained to be counted as of Friday, leaving undecided the outcome of some races, including the contest for district attorney.  County election officials said that a wave of vote-by-mail ballots left at vote centers and still arriving by mail contributed to the number of untallied votes.  The county registrar's office said it had counted 1,447,938 votes as of Friday.  It estimated that 678,050 ballots remained to be counted.

The Editor says...
Whenever there is "a wave of vote-by-mail ballots left at vote centers and still arriving by mail," that sounds to me like there are ballots being manufactured somewhere, based on demand, and the people who ostensibly cast those ballots probably don't exist.

Democrats rig California's vote, wonder why turnout is so low.  It ought to be a matter of shame for California that it's still counting its primary ballots from days ago in stale three-day old news.  The latest estimate is that they've got five and a half million so far counted and around three and a half million votes to go.  Election day, as CalMatters notes, is a misnomer, California has 'election month.'  But nope, they're bottling it and marketing it as "enfranchisement," saying that all the many, many, many ways to vote now in California now are why it's taking so long to count the ballots still sitting around.

Millions of uncounted California ballots to shed light on Sanders' future.  Voting on Super Tuesday in Los Angeles county, the state's most populous, was marked by chaos after a $300m new voting system resulted in hours-long lines that kept people waiting even as midnight approached.  Meanwhile, nearly half the state's ballots still remain uncounted, estimates Paul Mitchell, with the campaign research firm Political Data Inc, which tracks ballots as they are returned.  "It's like there's this black box of how many ballots are at the post office right now," said Mitchell.  So far, about 5.3m ballots have been counted, according to Mitchell, just over 50% of the 10m he expects have been cast in this election.  "The x-factor really is:  do we see some big surging coming with the uncounted ballot results?" he said.  "It's just a huge unknown."

Democrats get burned by their own 'early voting' shibboleth.  Turns out Democratic voters who cast early ballots for the dropouts — Amy Klobuchar, Tom Steyer and Pete Buttigieg — aren't happy.  They shouldn't be.  It's totally true.  They wasted their votes, all because they heeded the Democrats' encouragement to vote early — as early as 45 days in some states.  If the contest really was going to be among Bernie Sanders, Michael Bloomberg, and Joe Biden, they might have liked a chance to pick someone still running.  They can thank their own Democratic leadership for that, because Democrats have been pushing for early voting for the last couple of election cycles with alacrity, claiming to themselves that it was a surefire way to manipulate the tally in their favor and achieve permanent power.

Big Tech's Civilization-busting Bias.  If you could transport yourself back to the Middle Ages and tell people that living things too small to see can cause disease, they'd think you were crazy.  Seeing is believing and, quite often, not seeing is not believing.  Tragically, this phenomenon is also operative with the virus in our political system called Big Tech bias, which is, unseen by most and with no paper trail, killing Republican electoral chances and remaking our nation.  What if I told you that Big Tech could have been responsible for President Trump's impeachment?  What about the credible expert who warns that Big Tech can shift up to 15 million votes in November?  Note here that over the last eight elections and 32 years, no president has won by more than 9.5 million votes.  Shifting 15 million is easily enough to turn most any modern election.  And what if it can be said with certitude that Big Tech will win numerous races for Democrats this fall?  Do I have your attention yet?

'Hundreds' of Super Tuesday voters want early vote redo after dropouts.  Super Tuesday was less than super for thousands of voters who cast early ballots for Amy Klobucher and Pete Buttigieg, with many moaning that they had wasted their vote on candidates who later dropped out before the pivotal primary day.  Democratic Party and state officials in Colorado and Utah say early voters swamped them with requests to recast their ballots because they voted before the two major Democratic presidential candidates withdrew, according to a report.  "When Pete Buttigieg dropped out, we had a lot of voters who wanted to know if they could vote over, and later on Amy Klobuchar dropped out," Salt Late County Clerk Sherrie Swensen told Fox News.  "But we were already answering phone calls, emails from voters who wanted to know because they had submitted their vote by mail ballot or voted early if they could have a chance to vote over."

The Editor says...
That's the risk you take when you vote early.  If your candidate dropped out after you voted for him or her, learn from the experience, and don't ever vote early again.  Elections are supposed to be held on Election Day, not Election Month.

Pete And Amy Show Why Early Voting Is Bad.  Good for you, you got out of the house and went to vote.  You even voted early.  Maybe you got a sticker.  As you cast that ballot for Pete Buttigieg or Amy Klobuchar you knew you were doing your civic duty.  And now it doesn't matter at all.  Your vote might as well be a scratch off ticket that almost won discarded on the sidewalk.  This of course is the problem with early voting.  The justification for early voting is that it encourages participation in our electoral process, which, its actually debatable if that is a laudable goal.  But even if we assume that having more people vote is a good thing, what good does it do for anyone to cast a vote for a candidate who is no longer in the race.

Why does it take so long to get election results in California?  If the measure of a successful election were only how quickly the results are released, then California would be a disaster.  But that's not how election officials in the state see it as they prepare for the primary election on Tuesday, or Super Tuesday, when California and 13 other states vote.  They're focused on accuracy over speed.  "We prioritize the right to vote and election security over rushing the vote count," Secretary of State Alex Padilla said in a Feb. 27 statement.  "In California, we'd rather get it right than get it fast."

The Editor says...
Ri-i-i-i-ight.  A delay of several days means that the people who have control and custody of the ballots must sleep, at some point, and hand over the ballots to someone else, or leave them unattended.  This gives the political machine a chance to see which districts need a few extra votes, to assure the desired outcome.  Lyndon B. Johnson knows how this works, but he's unavailable for comment.

Thousands Of WA Ballots Tossed As Voters Refuse To Disclose Party.  Washington voters are livid over lack of privacy for preliminary ballots in the state primary.  As reported by Liberty Nation, these ballots force voters to declare their party of choice — Democrat or Republican — with no other option available.  Their selection appears on the outside of the form for all to see.  Frustrated by this lack of confidentiality, many have elected not to submit their affiliation and thousands of ballots have been rejected as a result.  As of Friday, Feb. 27 [sic - 28], nearly 680,000 ballots had been collected in the state and more than 36,000 were rejected because people did not want to declare a party.  To make matters worse, the preferences people choose are made available to the public for 60 days, including names and addresses.  Curious as to what other Washingtonians were thinking about this new development, this writer took to Facebook and reached out for opinions.  Of those who responded, only one person (from California) did not see anything wrong with the new system.  Everyone else was, shall we say, less than pleased.

Trump campaign manager says Democrats will try to steal the election.  President Trump's campaign manager thinks that Democrats will fight dirty in the race to the White House this year.  "They are going to cheat," Brad Parscale told an audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference in National Harbor, Maryland, on Friday [2/28/2020].  "Trust me, I saw what they did in 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019.  They are not going to wake up in 2020 and say, 'Let's play fair now.'"  Some Democratic voters are concerned that Trump will refuse to accept the results of the election.  The campaign expects to have an email list that is 50 million contacts deep by November, and 2 million trained volunteers — a massive jump from the 16,000 trained volunteers it had in 2016.

"Those who vote decide nothing.  Those who count the vote decide everything."
Buttigieg wins Iowa after caucus recount, state Dem party says.  The results of the Iowa caucus remain unchanged even after a recount by the Iowa Democratic Party (IDP), which was requested by the two Democratic front-runners, former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.  "The recount process resulted in no change to National Delegate allocation," the IDP said in a statement Thursday [2/27/2020].  Buttigieg remained the winner in the state, with a marginally higher delegate count than Sanders:  Buttigieg had 562.954 and Sanders had 562.021.

Lawsuit: 1.6K Dead People Registered to Vote in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  A lawsuit filed against Allegheny County, Pennsylvania alleges that nearly 1,600 dead people are registered to vote in the 2020 election in the county.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation filed suit against Allegheny County, where Pittsburgh is located, for their alleged ineffectiveness in cleaning up their voter rolls.  The lawsuit claims there are about 1,583 dead people still on the county voter rolls.

Group threatens lawsuits over 'suspiciously high' voter registration rates in swing states.  Voters in Florida, Michigan and Colorado are threatening to sue their states after an independent organization discovered that each has counties with unusually high voter registration rates — in some cases, they found more registered voters than actual people eligible to vote.  The data was compiled by the Honest Elections Project, a new nonprofit organization that blames the seemingly implausible statistics on a failure of states to properly update voter rolls to account for people moving, dying or being incarcerated.

Ohio Democrat tried to trade votes for cash, could get 50 years in prison, authorities say.  A Cincinnati city councilwoman could face up to 50 years in prison after being arrested Tuesday [2/25/2020] on federal corruption charges, authorities say, according to reports.  Shortly after being taken into custody, Tamaya Dennard appeared in court in handcuffs and leg irons to face charges of honest services fraud, bribery and attempted extortion, FOX 19 of Cincinnati reported.

Study Shoots Down "Voter Suppression" Myth.  A crucial part of the Dem narrative is that the Republicans have spent decades engaged in a vast conspiracy to suppress the votes of minorities.  Dem judges routinely shut down voter ID requirements, claiming that they represent a voter suppression plot.  When Democrats lose, they routinely blame voter suppression.  Stacey Abrams has virtually locked in a V.P. slot with that line.  Meanwhile a new study shoots down this particular political myth.  ["]Only 8 percent of nonvoters said they don't vote because they don't have the time to get to the polls — fourth on the list of reasons they cited.  Only 5 percent of nonvoters said they don't vote because they aren't registered.["]  In other words, people who value voting, will vote.  Those who don't, don't.

'A complete disaster': Fears grow over potential Nevada caucus malfunction.  Anxiety is rising over the possibility of another tech-induced meltdown at the Nevada Democratic caucuses on Saturday.  In interviews, three caucus volunteers described serious concerns about rushed preparations for the Feb. 22 election, including insufficient training for a newly-adopted electronic vote-tally system and confusing instructions on how to administer the caucuses.  There are also unanswered questions about the security of Internet connections at some 2,000 precinct sites that will transmit results to a central "war room" set up by the Nevada Democratic Party.

NV's Caucus Heading Full Speed Down SNAFU Highway.  After the Iowa caucus dumpster fire it was reported that the Nevada Democratic Party had hired the same app company, Shadow Inc., to provide an app for their February 22 caucus.  Party officials quickly said they would not use the app, and assured the party and the public that they had "previously created backup plans for its reporting systems and [were] in the process of 'evaluating the best path forward.'"  That "best path forward"?  A "caucus calculator" consisting of a Google form accessible through a saved link on a party-supplied iPad, reported to the "war room" from each precinct via internet connections of questionable security.  Three anonymous caucus volunteers spoke with Politico on Saturday, with one characterizing the first two hours of early voting as "disastrous... as volunteers struggled to get iPads to function properly and connect to the Internet."  Apparently those previously-created backup plans were as well-tested as Shadow's app.

Documents reveal DNC was 'intimately involved' in development of troubled Iowa caucus app.  While the Democratic National Committee over the past 10 days has tried to distance itself from the troubled app that threw the results of the Iowa caucuses into disarray, a copy of the contract and internal correspondence provided to Yahoo News demonstrates that national party officials had extensive oversight over the development of the technology.  The Democrats' Iowa caucuses took place on Feb. 3, but the outcome is still in question following a series of issues related to the failure of an app that was supposed to be used to submit results.  In the days since the debacle, DNC Chair Tom Perez has criticized the Iowa Democratic Party, which ran the caucuses, and the developer of the app, Shadow Inc.

Liberal Groups and High-Powered Lawyers Swarm Detroit to Keep Dead Voters on Rolls.  Liberal groups and high-powered New York attorneys swooped into Detroit this week to help the city fight a lawsuit over its voter roll irregularities, which included thousands of deceased individuals appearing on the rolls.  The League of Women Voters of Michigan and its Detroit chapter filed a motion to intervene on behalf of Detroit city clerk Janice Winfrey and Director of Elections George Azzouz.  Winfrey and Azzouz were sued in December by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), an election integrity group.  The officials had ignored PILF's requests to inspect Detroit's voter registrations after the group discovered thousands of ineligible voters on the city's rolls.

The Democrats' February Blues.  On Feb. 3, the Iowa Caucuses imploded for the first time in their history.  The new app-driven counting melted down, discrediting the very idea of caucusing in general.  The winner — Pete Buttigieg by two delegates over Bernie Sanders — was not known for days.  The mess was ironic in a number of ways.  The Democrats are the party of the Silicon Valley.  They pride themselves on being on the cutting edge of youthful computer culture.  But the inability to count simple votes was a bitter reminder that they understand the cyber world no better than their Republican opponents.  Voters might remember the 2013 meltdown of the Obamacare website, the abject failure of Hillary Clinton's supposedly sophisticated 2016 campaign analytics, and the incompetence of supposedly tech-driven 2016 polling.

Poll: Do you think that the current Democratic presidential primaries are being rigged in favor of or against some candidates?  39% say yes.

The Democrats:  A Corrupt, Insane Posse Masquerading as a Political Party.  [Scroll down]  Over at the Wall Street Journal, James Freeman explains the genesis of the App that failed.  "Veterans of Hillary Clinton's failed 2016 presidential campaign" who for some reason were considered "gurus at this sort of thing" created the app.  (Professor Kevin Gutzman reminds us:  "Robbie Mook, the Hillary staffer who laughed at Bill Clinton when he said Hillary needed to go to Michigan and Wisconsin in the 2016 campaign's final days, is the fellow responsible for the app that didn't work in Iowa.")  Their outfit, Shadow, in turn was supported by a firm called Acronym, Acronym is a "non-profit" run by Tara McGowan, continues Freeman.  Certainly not by coincidence, McGowan "oversaw the $42 million digital program in 2016 for Priorities USA, the primary super PAC for Hillary Clinton."  Among the hotshot coders Shadow engaged "was a prep cook for Starbucks."  Why was Shadow hired to do this?  Connections.

Iowa caucus 2020: Inside the Iowa Democratic Party's 'boiler room'.  At a brief training the Sunday before the Iowa caucuses, Iowa Democratic Party officials told the volunteers tasked with staffing a telephone hotline system to arrive Monday morning with books, puzzles and games — they were unlikely to be busy for hours.  But throughout the day and into the night, the phones rang almost constantly in the so-called boiler room, where about 50 phone stations had been set up in a security-encased call center at the downtown Des Moines Iowa Events Center.  On the other end of the phone lines were dozens of precinct leaders and county party chairs from across the state who could not download or log into a new cell phone app designed to allow easy tabulation and transmission of caucus night results.  The volunteers tasked with helping the local leaders said they had never seen the app, nor had they been trained to use it.

And this crowd of Democrats wants to run the country?  The establishment's chosen one, Joe Biden, who's led national polls for a year because he's hung around the public trough forever, probably finished fourth in Iowa.  We can't be sure because Iowa's Democratic Party totally complicated and then screwed up the caucus reporting process so badly that no one knew who won for days.  Any victory momentum for Pete Buttigieg or Bernie Sanders blew away on the wintry prairie winds.  Come to think of it, that might please the party's Eastern establishment.  The state party blamed coding issues with a new, untested reporting app.  Untested?  Anyone else remember Democrats' misplaced trust in a brand-new website that caused Obamacare's disastrous online launch back in 2010?  Americans rightly ask themselves, do we really want these clowns back in Washington taking over our entire health care system and trimming the nation's military might again to finance social giveaways?

Sorry, you cannot compel Americans to vote.  Democratic California Assemblyman Marc Levine has introduced a clearly unconstitutional bill which mandates that anyone registered to vote must attend a voting booth and file a response.  Levine says his intended law is justified and necessary because "democracy is not a spectator sport — it requires the active participation of all its citizens ... Those rights come with a responsibility by registered voters to cast their ballot and make sure that their voice is heard by their government."  While registered voters would not have to select a candidate in order to conform with Levine's desired law, they would have to file a ballot return, even if unmarked.  But as I say, this bill is patently unconstitutional.

Democrats Are Now Awarding Delegates Via Coin Tosses, at Which They Are Cheating.  [Video clip]

Corrupt or Incompetent?  No Good Answer for Democrats in Iowa.  There are only two possible explanations for the debacle in Iowa, and neither of them is good.  Either Democrats have corrupted the elections process so that Bernie Sanders cannot possibly win the nomination, no matter how well he does with their primary voters, or they are so incompetent that they can't even run a caucus in a state with a relatively small population.

Democrats and their terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week.  And then came the Iowa caucus debacle.  Though the evening grew long, the results did not.  In fact, there were none.  Vote totals weren't released to the public due to unexplained "inconsistencies."  Precinct chairs were unable to connect with party leaders; the state party hung up on a phone call with at least one candidate's campaign.  Sean Bagniewski, Democratic Party chairman of Polk County, Iowa's most populous, said of the state party in the wee hours of Tuesday morning, "I don't even know if they know what they don't know."  Much of the blame was placed on a new mobile reporting app that was developed by Hillary Clinton operatives and apparently financed in part by Pete Buttigieg, who, oddly enough now appears to have won.

Amid irregularities, AP unable to declare winner in Iowa.  The AP's tabulation of the party's results are at 99% of precincts reporting, with data missing from one of 1,765 precincts, among other issues.  Further, even as the Iowa Democratic Party's effort to complete its tabulation of the caucus results continued Thursday, Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez asked the Iowa Democratic Party to conduct a recanvass.  That is not a recount, but rather a check of the vote count to ensure the results were added correctly.

The Myth Of Incompetence:  DNC Scandals Are A Feature, Not A Bug.  The Iowa caucus scandal has continued to get more egregious by the hour, with new revelations routinely pouring in about extremely suspicious manipulations taking place which all just so happen to disadvantage the campaign of Bernie Sanders in the first Democratic electoral contest of 2020.  By the time you read this article, there will likely have been more.  Following the failure of an extremely shady app developed by vocally anti-Sanders establishment insiders which reportedly was literally altering vote count numbers after they were entered, Black Hawk County supervisor Chris Schwartz shared the election results in his county on Facebook so the public could have some idea of what's going on as the Iowa Democratic Party (IDP) slowly trickles out the results of the caucuses.

DNC chair Tom Perez calls for complete 'recanvass' of Iowa as Bernie Sanders claims victory.  The frustrated head of the Democratic National Committee demanded Thursday that Iowa party officials conduct a complete recount of the botched caucus vote — as Sen. Bernie Sanders was declaring victory despite the three-days-late incomplete tally.  "Enough is enough.  In light of the problems that have emerged in the implementation of the delegate selection plan and in order to assure public confidence in the results, I am calling on the Iowa Democratic Party to immediately begin a recanvass," DNC chairman Tom Perez said in a tweet.  The call for a "recanvass" came three days after the Iowa caucuses, and with Sanders (I-Vt.) declaring victory in the first-in-the-nation nominating state, though no winner has been officially named and still only 97 percent of the tallies have been counted.

Republican party launches campaign to repeal ranked-choice voting in presidential elections.  Maine Republicans are launching an effort to get a people's veto to repeal ranked-choice voting in the November presidential election.  "One person, one vote is a bedrock American principle," said Demi Kouzounas, chair of the Maine Republican Party's ballot question committee.  "Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) is a direct violation of that principle and threatens the rights of all Mainers and delegitimatizes our election process."

Many errors evident in results of Iowa caucuses released Wednesday.  Results from the Iowa Democratic caucuses were delayed by "quality control checks" on Monday night.  Days later, quality control issues have not been resolved.  The results released by the Iowa Democratic Party on Wednesday were riddled with inconsistencies and other flaws.  According to a New York Times analysis, more than 100 precincts reported results that were internally inconsistent, that were missing data or that were not possible under the complex rules of the Iowa caucuses.  In some cases, vote tallies do not add up.  In others, precincts are shown allotting the wrong number of delegates to certain candidates.  And in at least a few cases, the Iowa Democratic Party's reported results do not match those reported by the precincts.

DNC 'taking over' accounting results in Iowa after botched caucus: report.  Fed up with the dithering of Iowa party officials, the Democratic National Committee is "taking over" the accounting of results from Monday's botched caucus count as state party operatives remain unable to provide a timeline for releasing the remainder of the tally, according to a report.  The DNC has been "actively engaging in calling the leaders of each [caucus] precinct in order to verify the results," ABC News reported.  Polk County Democratic chairman Sean Bagniewski told the network that the DNC had been calling precinct chairs and asking for results, while Des Moines precinct chairman Carl Voss confirmed that the DNC had contacted him to request a copy of his tally sheet.  They both, along with an anonymous Democratic official, told ABC that they did not believe this had ever happened in previous caucuses.

Democratic finger-pointing escalating as Iowa caucus fiasco drags on.  Two days into the unprecedented and embarrassing delay in results from Monday night's Iowa caucuses, tensions throughout the Democratic Party are defining a chaotic slog to release the full results.  Intra-party friction was laid bare Wednesday as the Democratic National Committee sought to further distance itself from the flawed caucus process and specifically the new application the Iowa state party had purchased as a way — it hoped — to streamline reporting.  The app was built to collect and report the caucus results, but some precinct officials said they had issues reporting the results of their caucuses through the app.  The software issues kicked off a cascading series of problems, including difficulties getting through on the phone to report results after precinct officials had trouble with the app.

Clinton Campaign Operatives Behind Iowa Election App Failure?  What happens when you use an app developed by Democrats (many of them Hillary Clinton campaign veterans), not vetted and not tested?  The Iowa caucus fiasco, of course.  Talk about a cluster the magnitude of a 10.0 earthquake!  Dem presidential candidates were running around claiming victory without any results.  Precincts trying to report in were on hold for hours — if they were even able to get through.  The whole disaster is so sad it's almost funny.  So, what happened?  No one really knows for sure, not even the app's developers.

Out Of The Chaos, Let A Thousand Conspiracies Bloom.  As of this writing, late in the day on February 4 — nearly a full 24 hours after the caucuses — it appears that Pete Buttigieg is slightly ahead in delegates, while Bernie Sanders leads, barely, in the popular vote.  So now, every curious political reporter is going to be scrutinizing the tangled relationship between the Iowa caucus-counters, the online app that did the counting, and people who made, and paid for, the app.  That app was created by a for-profit technology company called Shadow, Inc. — not exactly a name aimed at discouraging conspiracy-mongers — which, in turn, is owned by a big-bucks non-profit called Acronym.  Oh, and Shadow, Inc. was also hired by the Buttigieg campaign.  Interestingly, Buttigieg, being a diverse and well-credentialed young meritocrat, is the preferred candidate of many Silicon Valley tech types, including Reed Hastings of Netflix, and family members of Sergey Brin and Eric Schmidt of Google, as well as Sheryl Sandberg of Facebook.  So yes, it's interesting that the Shadow-y app showed Buttigieg doing so well in Iowa.

Kill the tradition:  N.H. and Iowa should not vote first.  Sometimes, it's more important to stand up for what's right than what's in one's own interests:  More important than wielding our influence on a single small state's primary, we believe, is to call for the end of an antiquated system that gives outsized influence in choosing presidents to two states that, demographically, more resemble 19th-century America than they do the America of today.

Only a quarter of Iowa precinct chairs were able to install the Shadow app.  The NY Times has a follow up report on the disaster created by the app intended to streamline reporting of the Iowa caucus results.  Earlier today the Democratic Party had released a statement saying the app had accurately recorded data but had a glitch when it came to reporting that data.  But according to the NY Times, the majority of the 1700 precinct chairs couldn't even get the app to install on their phones, in part because it had never been approved for use by the Apple store.

Iowa caucuses: legitimate disaster or cover for a more nefarious plan?  What is supposed to have happened is that the precinct chairs would have a handy-dandy app that would easily enable them to report caucus results in real time.  What actually happened was reminiscent of the glory days of Obamacare's utterly failed website.  A letter from Dana Remus, general counsel for Joe Biden's campaign, to the Iowa Democratic Party pooh-bahs sums up the disaster:  ["]I write on behalf of the Biden for President Campaign regarding the considerable flaws in tonight's Iowa Caucus reporting system.  The app that was intended to relay Caucus results to the Party failed; the Party's back-up telephonic reporting system likewise has failed.  Now, we understand that Caucus Chairs are attempting to — and, in many cases, failing to — report results telephonically to the Party.  These acute failures are occurring statewide.["]  As matters stand now, it appears that all of the candidates won 0% of the caucus votes.  In lieu of actual data, there are rumors.  Chief among the rumors is that Biden's candidacy collapsed completely and that Bernie had a major blowout.

The Democrat Data App.  The Democrats' Iowa caucus results failed "due to a technical error," a minor mistake, a simple snafu.  It could happen to anyone.  Right?  Yeah, right.  It seems to happen mostly with Democrats, who always, but always, flub the details, then blame the Right.

Caucus app blamed for Iowa vote count chaos was created by tech firm Shadow, Inc. that is run by staff from Hillary Clinton and Obama's campaigns.  'Inconsistencies' with an app that was supposed to track the results of the Democrat caucuses in Iowa threw the vote into chaos overnight — with zero per cent of precincts reporting early Tuesday [2/4/2020].  The app was created by Shadow, Inc., a technology firm that was created in January last year after data and messaging service Groundbase was acquired by Democrat non-profit ACRONYM.  Finance records show the Iowa Democratic Party paid $60,000 to Shadow, Inc. for website development at the back end of last year which was spent on the app, according to Huffington Post.

The Democrats Are Rigging Their Process Again.  If you believe a single word the Democrat Party is telling you about the Iowa Caucus results, please give me a call because boy, do I have a deal on some Central Texas property for you. [...] If you believe the Democrat Party today, then you no doubt believed Adam Schiff on Monday when he said that President Trump will give Alaska away to the Russians unless the Senate removes him from office.  If you believe the Democrat Party today, then you were no doubt completely reassured last night when Fox News brought out former DNC Chairman Donna Brazile — who fed Hillary Clinton debate questions in advance and played a major role in rigging the party's 2016 nominating process against Bernie Sanders — to reassure us that, hey, don't worry, everything's on the up and up out there in Iowa.

Come on, we basically know how Iowa voted:  Against Biden.  As of 6:30 a.m.  CDT the day after, media outlets had results from 0% of Iowa precincts, and 90% of the media reaction to the caucuses was about the state Democratic Party's failure to get and report results.  But we shouldn't pretend the results are a total mystery. [...] The large campaigns have precinct captains in nearly every precinct who call in results.  The Sanders campaign released all the results it had, coming from about 40% of precincts, and it showed, by all three counts, Sanders winning with nearly 30%, Buttigieg in second, Elizabeth Warren in third, and Biden way back in fourth.  The Warren campaign said its numbers showed Biden also in a distant fourth.  The Biden campaign hasn't reported any results.  Nearly every reporter who reported results last night showed Biden underperforming.

The Death of Iowa.  Iowa's reign is over.  Oh, sure, the state and its fabled caucuses may live on in some ceremonial capacity, perhaps clinging to a sort of emeritus role in the earlier stages of the nominating season.  Presidential candidates will still pay occasional homage to the state, observing the time-worn traditions of tractor shows and food on a stick, unwilling to ignore a place and a people that have been so central to the making of the modern American presidency.  But Iowa won't go first.  It can't go first.  Not anymore.  The disaster that unfolded here Monday night — improper recording of results, failed transmission of precinct tallies, botched management of the voting procedures themselves — will leave no recourse for the national parties.

Frustrated Media SHRED Democrats Over 'Epic Failure' in Iowa.  The TV news media have declared the Iowa Democratic Caucus a disaster, after a series of technical failures prevented the state Democratic Party from being able to determine a winner.  Across cable and broadcast networks Tuesday morning, a throng of overtired journalists laid into Democrats with a combination of frustration, confusion, and relentless mockery.  Intrepid CNN anchor Chris Cuomo was among those hardest hit by the debacle — no doubt in part because he stayed up into the wee hours of the night only to cover a contest with no winner.  Cuomo declared the event "an epic failure," while his fellow panelist and anchor Van Jones worried:  "This is starting to feel like possibly a real debacle."  The mood was decidedly lighter over at MSNBC, where Tuesday's Morning Joe panel spent the morning cracking jokes about the failure.

Nine Things to Know About the App at the Center of Iowa Caucus Fiasco.  The Iowa Democratic presidential caucuses are being called a disaster, a nightmare, and an epic fail.  In the subsequent round of finger-pointing, a consensus scapegoat has emerged — a mobile app paid for by the Iowa Democratic Party that was supposed to collect and report the results of Monday night's vote.  The app was reportedly developed in secret by a for-profit technology firm with the too-good-to-be-true name of Shadow, Inc.  While little was previously known about the app, new revelations are quickly emerging, including the firm's ties to Hillary Clinton.

Ted Cruz:  How can Democrats run healthcare if they can't count votes in Iowa?  GOP Texas Sen. Ted Cruz expressed his frustration with the delay in announcing the results of the Iowa caucuses by asking how Democrats will be "in charge of our healthcare" if they aren't able to count votes.  "Dems, right now, they can't stand in a gymnasium and count who stands under which sign, and they're the ones who want to be put in charge of our healthcare and everything else in our life," the Republican told Fox & Friends.  "I mean, these are the socialist candidates who say, 'We know best; trust us to run your life.'  Well, guys, how about figure out how to count your votes first?" he added.

Perfect Club Engineering — Iowa Democrats Release Partial Results — Buttigieg Lead, Bernie Screwed, Biden Covered.  A key point of reference is ABC reporter Kendall Karson revealing the DNC came in and took over the tabulations of the Iowa Caucus result prior to this release.  "One Democratic official I spoke to is being told that the DNC is "taking over" the accounting of results.  The official said this that to their knowledge, this has never happened before."  This is important because it highlights that The Club decided what partial results, from what locations, showing what outcomes, the Club wants to put forth.  Put another way, the DNC is releasing a specific 62% of the result to generate a specific Iowa narrative.

Hillary Campaign Veterans Run Firm That Built Disastrous Iowa Caucus Phone App.  Hey, Hillary peeps:  What Happened?  Will you now be blaming the disaster of the Iowa caucus phone app on sexism? misogyny? racism?  Russian interference?  Women under pressure from men?  Obama?  James Comey?  The DNC?  We await your excuses.

Biden casts doubt on caucus outcome, demands delay in release of results.  Joe Biden is seeking to undermine and delay the results from Monday's [2/3/2020] disastrous Iowa caucuses.  Amidst the chaos, Biden's campaign fired off a letter to the Iowa Democratic Party, casting doubt on the results, and seeking a delay in their release.

Tech Firm Behind Iowa Caucus Disaster Also Played Role In Creating A Covert Democratic Propaganda Media Outfit.  The firm responsible for the app that caused delays in counting votes during Monday's Iowa caucuses had a role in developing an outlet promoting Democratic propaganda outlets ahead of the 2020 election.  Campaign consulting nonprofit ACRONYM owns Shadow Inc., a company that operates the app Democrats hoped would simplify the process of counting the votes in Iowa's roughly 1,700 precincts.  Officials across the state struggled to use the app, leaving the results of the caucuses in limbo.

Why the Iowa voting fiasco matters.  The Monday night caucuses were the biggest moment in four years for Iowa Democratic party.  They screwed it up beyond belief.  They had one task: to produce timely, accurate, and reliable vote totals, and they failed completely.  TV anchors sat around filling time, waiting for Godot to show up with election returns.  None appeared.  The candidates themselves began flying off to New Hampshire for next week's primary.  It was a fiasco, a huge embarrassment not only for state officials but for the national party.  It denied the winners their big moment before the TV cameras on election night — and the fundraising bonus that goes with it.  It left the losers wondering if they've been robbed.  It left Iowans questioning whether they will ever hold caucuses again or keep their prime spot as first-in-the-nation.  The bitterness over this mess will linger, and the Republicans will exploit it.

DHS Secretary Chad Wolf:  Iowa Dems refused help vetting caucus app.  Monday night's Iowa Democratic caucus debacle stemming from an app tied to ex-Hillary Clinton campaign staffers is "concerning," Acting Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Chad Wolf said Tuesday [2/4/2020].  Appearing on "Fox & Friends" with co-host Steve Doocy, Wolf said that the DHS cybersecurity and infrastructure security agency had offered to test the app from a "hacking perspective," but the party had declined.  "They declined and so we are seeing a couple of issues with it," he told Doocy.

Reports: Iowa's Democrat Party knew of problems with election app one week before caucus date.  Officials in Iowa reportedly knew there were problems with the mobile app used to tally the results in Monday's [2/3/2020] caucus.  The state's Democrat Party released a statement late Monday to announce its decision to delay the release of the official results.  They cited "inconsistencies" in the results as the reason for the postponement.  The Democrats went on to specify the delay was not because of a hack in an apparent effort to quell possible theories of election interference.  On top of the supposed "inconsistencies," however, many county chairs in Iowa have said they reported problems with the new app in the week before the caucus date.  One chair from Polk County said not only were there unresolved problems with the app, but local Democrat officials weren't provided any training on how to use it.

Comedy Highlights of the Iowa Caucus Disaster.  The results are finally in from the Iowa caucus and the only clear winner is... President Donald Trump!  All the rest of losers in the wake of the Democrat Iowa caucus disaster.  The good news is that the Iowa caucus disaster has produced quite a bit of comedy gold, some of which is presented in this video.  [Video clip]

Ted Cruz on Iowa:  "Dems can't stand in a gym and count who stands under which sign — and they want to be put in charge of our health care?".  Ted Cruz blasted Democrats for the Iowa caucus disaster on Fox News Tuesday, chastising them for not being able to "stand in a gymnasium and count who stands under which sign" while at the same time wanting "to be put in charge of our health care and everything else in our life".  [Video clip]

App used in Iowa Democratic caucus fiasco linked to ex-Clinton campaign staffers.  The app that was supposed to help the Iowa Democratic Party quickly report Monday's caucus results — but contributed to confusion and a muddled result as campaigns were in an uproar — is linked to Hillary Clinton campaign veterans.  Shadow, a tech firm that describes itself as a group that creates "a permanent advantage for progressive campaigns and causes through technology," is the company that created the Iowa Democratic Party's app, according to The New York Times.  At least the COO, CEO, CTO and a senior product manager at Shadow all worked for the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, according to LinkedIn profiles.

The Iowa Caucus Just Crashed and Burned and Democrats Will Never Hear the End of It.  The Iowa caucus data operation just crashed and burned.  That means that it could take days to get find out who actually won the Democratic contest — the first of the 2020 presidential election cycle.  Gobsmacked candidates have come out to throw confetti, drop balloons, and declare "on to New Hampshire!"  There's nothing else to do except to declare victory and move on.  No one really knows, right?  Joe Biden's lawyers have sent the Iowa caucus organizers a sternly worded letter ordering them not to reveal the winner until the results are cleared with them.

The Democrats' nightmare scenario is unfolding before our (and their) eyes.  The party of the plutocracy masquerading as the savior of the underclass, a coalition of grievance-fueled identity groups not completely comfortable with each other, may finally face the reckoning it so richly deserves.  The only thing that unites eco-fanatics with the blue-collar labor unions, blacks with gays and Jews, or socialists with Wall Street financiers is the quest to harness the power of the state to their own interests.  The optimistic take on the current fiasco rendering Democrats incapable of announcing the results of the Iowa caucuses is that the party is hopelessly incompetent.  They have shamed not just themselves, but the state of Iowa, which is now denied its quadrennial place in the national spotlight and made to appear like a bunch of rubes, primitives, and idiots.  Don't expect the Dems to win Iowa's electoral votes this year.

'Not a hack': Iowa Democratic Party defends delay in release of caucus results.  The Iowa Democratic Party is scrambling after encountering problems with its new caucus results reporting system.  Iowa's state Democratic Party found "inconsistencies in the reporting of three sets of results," spokeswoman Mandy McClure said in a statement late Monday, referring to caucus alignment and delegate allocation outcomes from the first-in-the-nation primary contest.  "In addition to the tech systems being used to tabulate results, we are also using photos of results and a paper trail to validate that all results match and ensure that we have confidence and accuracy in the numbers we report," McClure wrote.

After Epic 'Nightmare' in Iowa, Democratic App Built by Secretive Firm Shadow Inc.  Comes Under Scrutiny.  Amid all the finger-pointing and anger that followed the nightmarish Iowa Democratic presidential caucuses Monday night, many journalists and progressive observers honed in on the smartphone app the state Democratic Party used — with disastrous consequences — to record and report the results of the highly anticipated contest.  The app, according to several news reports, was developed by the secretive for-profit tech firm Shadow Inc., which has ties to and receives funding from ACRONYM, a Democratic digital non-profit organization.  Shadow's CEO is Gerard Niemira, who worked on Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign.

Lefties go into primal scream against DNC chief Tom Perez after Iowa fiasco.  The Democratic establishment's bid to blame the whole problem on an incompetent[] app is hard to believe, given the presence of competent coders on the left.  How'd they get a bad one, given how many there are on the leftside who do that well?  The blame is all over the place - on Hillary Clinton's operatives (among them, the notoriously unethical Robbie Mook) who created the app, on Pete Buttigieg who supposedly helped finance the app, and by coincidence did well based on first tallies, and on Michael Bloomberg, who Democrats say has bought his way into the shambling party.  But most of the rage seems concentrated on Tom Perez who at a minimum, didn't exert much oversight on the Iowa operation.  The raging tweets just keep coming and coming, it's like a firehose out there.  What this shows is a Democratic Party in meltdown.

'Inconsistencies' Found In Democrat Iowa Caucus Reporting, Conspiracies Explode.  All-out chaos descended upon the Democrat Party's Iowa caucuses on Monday night, as there were numerous reported technical difficulties and the party declared that it had found "inconsistencies in reporting."  "We found inconsistencies in the reporting of three sets of results," the Democratic National Committee said in a statement.  "In addition to the tech systems being used to tabulate results, we are also using photos of results and a paper trail to validate that all results match and ensure that we have confidence and accuracy in the numbers we report.  This is simply a reporting issue, the app did not go down and this is not a hack or an intrusion.  The underlying data and paper trail is sound and will simply take time to further report the results."

Killing Iowa to save Biden.  Nate Silver's 538 site said the final unreleased Iowa Poll had Biden in fourth place behind Sanders, Warren, and Buttigieg.  CNN and the Des Moines Register paid for the poll and censored it.  The Iowa Democrat Party did the same with Monday's caucus results.  It is likely 538 got the results with the understanding it would not release the results until the caucuses ended and the information was useless.  That is how journalism works.  No one should surprised by the clumsy attempts by CNN, the Des Moines newspaper, and Iowa Democrat Party to rig the election.  In 2008, the fix was in for Obama.  In 2016, the fix was in for Hillary.  And in 2020, the fix is in for Biden — except the Iowa Democrat Party does not have enough Fixodent to seal the deal.

Mission Accomplished — Chaos in Iowa Caucuses Helps and Hurts All The Right Candidates.  From the DNC Club's perspective there were three strategic needs surrounding the Iowa caucuses:  (1) Hide the collapse of Joe Biden; (2) Diminish the win by Bernie Sanders; and (3) cover-up a less than enthusiastic voter turnout.  Given the nature of very public primary races, this three-pronged challenge seemed almost impossible.  Almost.  If everything just seemed to collapse, go wrong, and become a mess; and if the end of the night outcomes could be delayed and undetermined; well, in that scenario the objective would be considered 'mission accomplished' on all three points.  That exact scenario just coincidentally happened.

Democrat Caucus Disaster!  Precinct Heads told to Take Pictures of Caucus Results — Text to Manager — Who Will Drive it to HQ!  The Democrat caucus results were delayed tonight in Iowa.  At 10 PM there are STILL NO RESULTS!  Eoin Higgins from Common Dreams reported that the secretive Iowa Democrat Party app stopped working hours before the caucuses.

Iowa Democratic Party on Caucus Delay: 'This Is Not a Hack.' So What Is It?  As America waited for the results from the Iowa caucuses late Monday night, the Iowa Democratic Party released a cryptic statement that did little to assuage concerns that party leaders might be engaging in shenanigans to deny Sen. Bernie Sanders (S-USSR) his likely victory in the first 2020 contest.  "We found inconsistencies in the reporting of three sets of results," a spokeswoman said.  "In addition to the tech systems being used to tabulate results, we are also using photos of results and a paper trail to validate all that results match and ensure that we have confidence and accuracy in the numbers we report."

Breaking: 'Inconsistencies' Found In Democrat Iowa Caucus Reporting, Conspiracies Explode.  All-out chaos descended upon the Democrat Party's Iowa caucuses on Monday night, as there were numerous reported technical difficulties and the party declared that it had found "inconsistencies in reporting."  "We found inconsistencies in the reporting of three sets of results," the Democratic National Committee said in a statement.  "In addition to the tech systems being used to tabulate results, we are also using photos of results and a paper trail to validate that all results match and ensure that we have confidence and accuracy in the numbers we report.  This is simply a reporting issue, the app did not go down and this is not a hack or an intrusion.  The underlying data and paper trail is sound and will simply take time to further report the results."

The Editor says...
Hey, Democrats!  You're supposed to wait until November to engage in wholesale voter fraud!

Down With the Iowa Caucuses!  Caucuses are a terrible way to pick a nominee.  There is no secret ballot, so every nosy neighbor and busybody who prefers another candidate knows who you're supporting.  There is no access for those who work nights or need babysitters.  And this year, Democrats have a fairly arbitrary 15 percent threshold — no delegates for anyone who falls below that line. [...] Apparently many Democrats believe the electoral college is some sort of unfair menace, but they're just fine where neighbors are trading snow-shoveling or chocolate cookies in exchange to join their faction.

Iowa caucus vote totals delayed amid 'inconsistencies'; campaigns lash out at 'crazy' state party.  The Iowa Democratic Party (IDP) still has not reported official vote totals in the critical Iowa caucuses as of early Tuesday morning, in a largely unexplained and unprecedented delay that has raised questions about the legitimacy of the contest — and Democratic campaign officials are livid, Fox News has learned.  The Trump campaign, meanwhile, openly suggested that the delay meant that the caucuses were being "rigged," and that the embarrassing night proved that the Democratic Party can't be trusted to run Americans' health care and implement sweeping new government programs.  Even if a winner were ultimately announced, the chaos and confusion has seemingly erased any hope for the major momentum boost that would normally result.

Angry Bernie Sanders supporters storm out of caucus calling it a 'joke' and a 'waste of time'.  Sen. Bernie Sanders's supporters angrily stormed out of a caucus here on Monday night, calling the process a "joke" and a "waste of time" after they started out with more than twice as much support as any other candidate, but ending up in a five-way tie, with all viable candidates sharing one delegate apiece.  Under the complicated caucus system, there are multiple stages of voting.  First, there is a vote to determine initial support.  After that point, only candidates with 15% of the vote are considered viable.  However, those voters who did not initially choose a viable candidate can migrate to another candidate.  After the final numbers are counted, they are translated to delegate equivalents, which help determine how many supporters each campaign gets to send to state, and ultimately, national conventions.

Iowa caucus results much slower than expected, state Democratic Party 'quality controlling'.  The Iowa presidential caucuses were thrown into chaos late Monday after the state Democratic Party said it found "inconsistencies," delaying results and causing widespread confusion across the state.  The Iowa Democratic Party said early Tuesday that it would release the results of the Iowa caucuses later Tuesday after "manually verifying all precinct results."  Party chair Troy Price said the party is "validating every piece of data we have against our paper trail.  That system is taking longer than expected, but it's in place to ensure we are eventually able to report results with full confidence."

Fox News Voter Analysis Survey:  The Iowa Democratic Caucuses.  As the Iowa Democratic Party continues to count the results of the first-in-the-nation caucus, the Fox News Voter Analysis — a poll of nearly 3,000 likely caucus-goers — provides important insight into voters' views as they headed to caucus sites across the state.  These results represent voters' initial candidate preferences, and the state's complicated caucus system means the final results may well differ from this data.  The survey revealed that eight-in-ten attendees were angry at the Trump administration and most of the rest were dissatisfied.  On that, at least, Iowa's Democrats could agree.

Trump Campaign Mocks Iowa Democrat Caucus 'Train Wreck'.  President Donald Trump's reelection campaign ridiculed the delayed results of the Iowa Democrat presidential caucus on Monday, calling the process a "train wreck."  "Democrats are stewing in a caucus mess of their own creation with the sloppiest train wreck in history," Trump 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale wrote in a statement sent to reporters.  Iowa state Democrats struggled to verify the results of the caucus results on Monday working with a new tallying system.

Mayor Pete Seems to Declare Victory in Soaring Speech — Despite No Winner Yet Reported in Iowa Caucus.  "What a night!" said South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg.  Indeed, all this dumpster fire of an Iowa caucus was missing was a candidate who declared victory without a single vote being reported.  But shortly after midnight eastern on Tuesday morning, Mayor Pete put the cherry on top of this hideous sundae with a confounding speech in which he seemed to proclaim himself the winner.  Speaking to his supporters at his campaign headquarters in Des Moines, the former South Bend mayor strongly suggested that when the missing numbers finally do come in, he will emerge with the most delegates.

Maybe this has something to do with it...
Eight Iowa Counties Have Total Registration Rates Larger Than Eligible Voter Population:  More Than 18,600 Extra Names on Voter Rolls.  Judicial Watch sounded the alarm on voter fraud on Monday [2/3/2020] ahead the Iowa caucuses.  Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch on Monday announced that eight Iowa counties have more voter registrations than eligible voters.  There are at least 18,658 extra names on the voter rolls in Iowa, Judicial Watch reported.  The watchdog group also reported that Polk County has an unusually high rate of 95.9% of total eligible voters registered.

California's primary vote count could take longer than ever.  Californians start voting Monday in a high-profile Democratic presidential primary that has no clear front-runner and could take longer to count than any previous election in a state already notorious for slow ballot counting.

Do Democrats really care about election integrity?.  What does "election integrity" actually mean to Democrats?  A perspective is provided by the Democrat-sponsored "For the People Act" (H.R. 1 in the current Congress), a dreadfully misnamed legislative mess that purports to improve election integrity and transparency.  Some of its features are:
  •   Mandates automatic, universal voter registration, and makes it a crime to interfere with registration
  •   Allows voter registration at age 16
  •   Mandates early voting of at least 15 days and requires paper ballots
  •   Restricts and impedes routine voter roll maintenance
  •   Prescribes strict rules for redistricting and authorizes court takeover of redistricting
  •   Regulates digital political advertising outright, and restricts corporate political engagement
  •   Requires disclosure of donors by Super PACs and so-called "dark money" groups
  •   Requires presidential candidates and incumbents to release 10 years of tax returns
  •   Supports a Constitutional amendment to overturn the Citizens United decision
  •   Supports statehood for the District of Columbia
You can see where this goes — a grandiose "big picture" reform program that mostly suppresses free speech, cements Leftist influence, and protects incumbents — but does virtually nothing to address actual, on-the-ground election integrity.

Democrat Caught on Video Teaching Illegals How to Vote.  Is this how liberals will swing the election in their favor in 2020? This video is from the swing state of Arizona, which could decide the next election!

Two experts quit election accountability group over claims it has been endorsing untrustworthy machines.  Amid heightened concerns about the integrity of the voting process in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election, two election security experts recently quit Verified Voting, a respected election accountability group, in protest.  They claim that it has been downplaying security risks in popular voting machines.  Richard DeMillo, a Georgia Tech professor who sat on Verified Voter's advisory board, just left the group, soon after the departure of UC Berkeley statistics professor Philip Stark, a board member who sent a fiery letter of resignation on November 21st.  Stark and DeMillo believe that Verified Voting has been giving election officials false confidence in their voting machines and providing cover for the companies that make and sell the machines.

Resignation of Board Members from Verified Voting.  Richard DeMillo, a Georgia Tech professor who sat on Verified Voting's advisory board, and UC Berkeley statistics professor and associate dean Philip Stark, a VV board member, have resigned from the advocacy group, stating that they believe that Verified Voting has been giving election officials false confidence in some voting machines and providing cover for the companies that make and sell these machines.  In DeMillo's December 1 resignation letter to Barbara Simons (chair of VV's board of directors), he claimed that "Verified Voting's policy positions were unpredictable, contradictory, and not aligned with the values I once believed we shared.  On more than one occasion, Verified Voting has taken contradictory public stances in the span of a few days, undercutting allies and supporters.  The pattern of espousing new positions and making public statements that take local VV stakeholders by surprise is nothing new.  Rather than seeking out advice, Verified Voting has gone to great lengths to avoid it."

Somehow, "glitches" always favor the Democrats.
Hundreds of non-citizens registered to vote in Illinois due to technical glitch.  Illinois lawmakers are raising questions about the integrity of state elections after the secretary of state admitted hundreds of non-citizens were registered as voters, and could have cast ballots illegally in the 2018 election.  In a letter, Secretary of State Jesse White's office said a "programming error" in a signature pad at driver services facilities led to hundreds of non-U.S. citizens accidentally being registered as voters.

Poll: 12-in-13 Black Americans Have Never Experienced Voter Suppression.  Despite widespread claims by elected Democrats that black Americans are being unprecedentedly discriminated against in polling stations, about 12-in-13 say they have never experienced voter suppression.  A new poll released by the Washington Post/Ipsos asked black Americans 18 and over whether they had ever experienced in the last ten years a situation where they "tried to vote in a local, state or national election and were not allowed to vote for some reason."

For the time being, at least, the dead can vote in Wisconsin.  Two days ago [1/14/2020], we hailed the good news that a trial court judge in Wisconsin held the Elections Commission and three of its Democrat members in contempt because they refused to abide by his December order that they remove 200,000 non-viable names from the state's voting records.  One day later, on Tuesday, the state appellate court stepped in to stop the Elections Commission from cleaning out the cemetery vote: [...] The same judges — Michael Fitzpatrick, JoAnne Kloppenburg and Jennifer Nashold — had on two previous occasions refused to step in to block the purge.  This time, however, they moved so quickly they did not even have time to write an order explaining their reasoning.

Wisconsin Judge Orders 209,000 Names Purged from Voter Rolls.  A Wisconsin judge has doubled down on a prior ruling demanding that over 209,000 names be removed from the state's voter rolls before the 2020 election, the New York Post reports.  Ozaukee County Circuit Judge Paul Malloy had previously ruled in December that the 209,000 names must be purged, as they all failed to respond within 30 days of being sent mailers inquiring whether or not they had moved out of the state.  But the state's election commission has refused to start removing the names, thus leading to Judge Malloy holding the entire six-member commission in contempt.

Wisconsin Democrats held in contempt for refusing to purge voter rolls.  Across America, there is a constant war being waged over voter rolls.  Democrats resist any effort to purge the rolls, contending that any diminution of names on the rolls constitutes voter suppression and is manifestly intended to keep minorities from voting.  Conservatives strongly support existing laws to purge from voter rolls names associated with people who have passed away or moved on.  They argue that doing so preserves voting integrity by making it more difficult for the cemetery vote to affect election outcomes.
