Electronic Voting, Voter Fraud, and Other Election Day Issues

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."

Another issue that threatens the American election system is the presence of perhaps 30 million illegal aliens, with more arriving every day.  (The news media says there are 11 million of them, but they've been using that number for the last 25 years or more, as if that's a mathematical constant.  Don't believe it.)  Many of the poorly-educated and deliberately mis-informed newcomers think they are allowed to vote in U.S. elections, but that is a privilege available to U.S. citizens only.  Until the last ten years, the concept of restricting the vote to citizens was universally understood, but the public schools no longer teach civics, government, history, or the Constitution.  One way to greatly reduce the likelihood of non-citizens voting in U.S. elections is to conduct the elections — i.e., print the ballots — exclusively in English.  If anyone complains, let them prove their citizenship on the spot, or be gone.

The Editor says...
Voting by mail, voter impersonation, dead voters, illegal alien voters, ballot harvesting, voter ID, and duplicate voting, are all separate issues.  In counties that use electronic voting booths at numerous polling places, the biggest problem is that the vote tally at the end of the day is stored on a removable (USB) memory card, which can then be taken someplace by a corrupt official to be altered.  Obviously voting machines need to have tamper-proof voting machine memory cards.  Voting machines in Dallas County and many other places currently use a USB thumb drive to store the results of a day's voting.  This device can be taken by a corrupt election judge to a secret location to be edited (on anybody's computer!) and altered before turning it in to the central counting room.  Allow me to propose a solution:  [#1] The memory device should not use a standard connector that everybody's computer has.  Certainly not USB, RS-232, Firewire, or Thunderbolt.  [#2] When Election Day's voting is finished, and the voting machine is told to finalize the results, the machine should blow a fuse — inside the removable memory device — which will turn it into a read-only memory -- except for a memory partition big enough to hold the data for point #3, which is next.  At the same time, it should make a copy of the day's results in a separate memory  unit  partition within the same memory card, accessible only through some elaborate means known only to a few.  In addition, the voting machine itself should make a copy of the final results, without telling anyone.  [#3]  Thereafter, the removable memory device should record the MAC address of every computer that reads the memory card or attempts to write to it, along with a hash code (written obscurely somewhere) to make alterations impossible.  [#4] Attempts to write to the device after the fuse is blown (in step 2) should be fruitless, but recorded anyway.  [#4A] Alternatively, let the hacker read an write at will, generating evidence against himself, while leaving the secret copies unchanged.  [#5] It is not necessary to tell the poll workers how the system works — only that there are security features included to prevent tampering with the data.  The number of people who know how it all works should be tightly limited; however, sooner or later some of the details will leak out.  By that time, an even better system can be implemented.  If the technical details can be kept secret for two or three election cycles, that would probably be enough to catch several corrupt officials and make their lives difficult from that day forward.

Voter Fraud:  The Only Issue That Matters in 2024.  Just the other day, Kamala Harris's Department of Justice — in a can't-make-it-up act — sued the state of Virginia for removing illegals from its voter rolls!  The last time I kept track of such desperate — and illegal — measures was just a few years ago.  Here is just a tiny sampling of the vote-rigging methods, used exclusively by Democrats, that I discovered.
  •   In a Florida primary, more than 35,000 mail-in ballots were rejected, and over 100,000 ballots were rejected in California.
  •   Georgia authorities reveal 1,000 people double-voted in primary using absentee ballots.
  •   More than 534,000 mail ballots were rejected during primaries across 23 states — nearly a quarter in key battlegrounds for the fall.
  •   In North Carolina, voters reported receiving two ballots in the mail.
  •   A top PA lawmaker called on the state to immediately expunge the names of 11,198 non-citizens whom the state confirmed are registered to vote despite not being eligible.
  •   FBI Found Discarded Military Mail-in Ballots Cast for Trump
  •   Election Watchdog Finds 350,000 Dead Registrants on Voter Rolls in 42 States.
  •   GA Investigating 1,000 Cases of Voter Fraud
  •   The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) of Indiana found the following:  there may be as many as 350,000 dead people still registered to vote in U.S. elections.  New York, Texas, Michigan, Florida, and California accounted for 51 percent of the dead registrants; 40,000 likely duplicate voters may have voted twice; many state registrars have been forbidden to cull their voter rolls by the courts because hysterical Democrats claim that some voters might be disenfranchised.  Nevada's largest county sent out more than 200,000 mail-in primary ballots to the wrong addresses, while 84,000 mail-in presidential primary ballots cast in N.Y. City were disqualified.

How TDS Destroyed the Democrats.  Ballot harvesting in the six key swing states was particularly easy because those states did not require the voter to provide ID. Nevertheless, Democrats worried that some of the phony ballots might be detected by means of signature matching (signatures on ballot envelopes are matched to those in registration records).  To eliminate that problem, Michigan, Georgia, and Pennsylvania scrapped signature matching, although they did it in different ways.
  •   In Michigan, the Secretary of State declared that employees were to "presume" signatures on ballot envelopes matched those in registration records.  A few months after the 2020 election, a judge ruled that Secretary Jocelyn Benson acted illegally.
  •   In Pennsylvanian, the state Supreme Court declared that a voter's ballot could not be rejected simply because his signature didn't match.  The voter could sign as "Mickey Mouse."  It didn't matter.
  •   In Georgia, the largest county, Fulton, did not attempt to match signatures at all.  Since the vast majority of Fulton voters are Democrats, the absence of signature matching in Fulton probably won the state for Biden.
In those three states there were millions of mail-in voters, with no ID, and no signature matching.  Was that enough to ensure a Democrat victory?  Not necessarily.  To be certain of winning, Democrats in key counties took one more step:  They prevented observation by Republican poll challengers.  In Wayne County (Detroit) and Fulton County (Atlanta) they verbally and physically threatened the observers.  In Philadelphia County the state Supreme Court ruled that observers could be kept at least 15 to 18 feet from the processing tables.  That made observation impossible.

How the Democrats can steal 2024.  The majority of informed Americans believe that the election of 2020 was at the very least tampered with, and at most, stolen from Donald Trump.  I agree with them.  After "mules" delivering contrived and phony ballots to drop boxes throughout the country, Joe Biden somehow became president.  After machine "malfunctions" and outright collapses, an unknown number of ballots, perhaps even hundreds of thousands, were either uncounted, or flipped from Republican to Democrat.  After votes cast by dead people appeared, somehow the election was lost for Trump and every American who voted for him.  After election site intimidation tactics, votes were prevented from being cast at all.  After officials declared an "emergency" at some polling places they were closed down, and voting stopped.  After cases of pre-filled ballots came out after closing time — perhaps millions? — and were run through counting machines more than once, Biden "won."  After counters stopped the vote mid-count for several hours, Democrats "found" enough votes for Biden; the vote count took a sudden and statistically impossible jump in his favor.

American Democracy Is in Extremis.  The 900-pound gorilla lurking in every voting place in America as we enter the last month before the midterm elections is the fact that the national political media are continuing to repeat, almost in unison, that any possible dispute over the legitimacy and authenticity of the 2020 presidential election result has been resolved.  The evidence for this claim has been the failure of the many actions undertaken by Rudolph Giuliani on behalf of then President Donald Trump, and Sidney Powell acting independently but in the same interest, which made exaggerated claims and sought unrealistic remedies from the courts.  The national political media were approximately 95 percent hostile to Trump according to independent media surveys by Pew Research and the Harvard Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics, and Public Policy.  They reckoned that by debunking the Giuliani-Powell efforts, they would discredit all concerns about the authenticity of the election result.  There were 19 actions challenging the constitutionality of the voting and vote counting changes, supposedly to facilitate voting in the pandemic, particularly in the swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.  Most important was the action of the attorney general of Texas against those states, and he was joined in his complaint by 18 other state attorneys general, directly to the U.S. Supreme Court as the forum for inter-state lawsuits.  This action alleged violation of the constitutional obligation of all states to ensure through their state legislatures, and not the executive or judiciary in those states, that presidential elections are fairly conducted within their jurisdictions.  None of these cases was heard on its merits, a fact which received almost no publicity.  Process objections were raised:  lateness, wrong courts — everything was shuffled off until the clock ran out.

How Much Longer for COVID Scare Tactics?  [Scroll down]  For the Democrats, COVID has always been about political control, a means to an electoral end, a method to remove President Trump by any way possible.  Transmissibility and the requirement for social distancing gave rise to the oh-so-essential need for mail-in balloting for the 2020 presidential election.  That led to astonishing — and quite intentional — voter fraud, including:
  •   Numerous counties where the voter participation rate somehow exceeded 100% of registered voters
  •   Late-night ballot discoveries where thousands of Biden votes (and virtually no Trump votes) were miraculously added to the totals
  •   Documented — but unacted upon — instances of duplicate ballots and mail-in ballots without verified signatures
  •   Unconstitutional voting rule changes in many states, including allowing mail-in and absentee ballots to come in and be counted several days after Election Day
None of this has been disputed or disproved by the Democrats or the liberal media. It's either simply been ignored, dishonestly dismissed, or they cite the blatherings of a random never-Trump Republican as "proof" that the election was on the up-and-up.  Unfortunately and undeniably, the Democrats got away with it.  They desperately want to keep this system in place and they see COVID as their ticket to do so.

Gen. Flynn Exclusive: 10 Indisputable Facts on the 2020 Election That Argue for Audits.  The one seminal event that continues to fester like a boil on the American psyche is this past Nov. 3, 2020, presidential election.  Why does it continue to fester?  It festers because people of all stripes and backgrounds believe there were elements of election fraud, misrepresentations of the truth, dishonesty due to lawfare and, in certain cases, severe obstruction by politicians at all levels of government.  In the days following the presidential election, there were vast claims of a "conspiracy theory" that the election was somehow stolen in the middle of the night.  In fact, many people believe the "theft" actually occurred during the days prior and subsequent to Election Day.  According to some accounts, the theft occurred as a result of machine configurations and settings, misappropriated and fraudulent mail-in ballots, false or fake paper used for ballots, multiple scans of the same ballot, ballots in excess of the number of registered voters and much more.  The claims of fraud in this election seemed never-ending.  These "conspiracy theory" claims continue to be challenged and debated across the United States without any serious examination of the facts surrounding the election itself. [...] What I want to offer for both believers and non-believers are some facts.  These facts and the data behind them come from research and analysis of information gathered directly from federal, state and county websites.  These facts compare past elections to November 2020, and all that is required to understand them is simple common sense.  I will offer some analysis and thoughts at the end, but as we continue to move forward in our country, we the people need to be fact-driven and knowledgeable about what occurred.

What if We Find The Fire From the Smoke of Election Fraud?  As much damage as Covid did — and far worse, the "lockdowns" it was used to inflict — that's nothing compared to the damage another "conspiracy" has done and will do.  That, of course, is the "thoroughly debunked" notion that the election of 2020 was stolen, and that Joe Biden is in the Oval Office today because of election fraud.  But of course that's just some tin hat conspiracy theory.  We've been told that "There's no evidence of election fraud" and Trump "Lost Nearly 60 Election Fights In Court."  The latter of course is fiction.  Given that we heard similar things for the last year about the origins of Covid, the question is, what happens when proof unequivocally demonstrates that the election was indeed stolen?  The smoke for that conclusion has been around since the wee hours of November 4th.  The stopped counting in key states on election night.  Mark Zuckerberg's wholesale purchase of the voting apparatus in key states and counties.  The unconstitutional changes to voting laws that crisscrossed the country — many empowered by the politicization of Covid.  And then of course there is TIME magazine piece that laid out in black and white the "inside story of the conspiracy to save the 2020 election", chronicling widespread coordination of everyone from the Democrat party, Silicon Valley, BLM, unions, the Chamber of Commerce and various other players to get rid of Donald Trump.

The Most Important Question About the 2020 Election.  The anomalies:  In 132 years, no president has received more votes in his run for reelection and lost.  Yet Donald Trump received 10 million more votes in 2020 than in 2016 — and lost.  Trump won 18 of the 19 counties both Democrats and Republicans regard as the "bellwether" counties that virtually always go with the outcome of presidential elections.  Yet he lost.  He won four bellwether states — Florida, Ohio, Iowa and North Carolina.  Yet he lost.  Republicans held onto all the House seats they were defending and gained another 13 seats.  Yet, Trump lost.  Add the following to the anomalies:  Unprecedented efforts were made in some states to change election laws.  Mostly Democratic states sent out tens of millions of ballots or applications for absentee ballots to people who never requested them.  Voting began in some states six weeks before Election Day.  People have submitted sworn affidavits at great personal cost and with possible perjury charges that they witnessed ballot tampering on election night.  But all these things would matter little if Democrats involved in ballot-counting felt morally compelled to count votes honestly.

Next Step in Democracy's Destruction?  Enduring Election Fraud.  Well in advance of the election, the Democratic Party hierarchy and their allies calculated that even with the support of media outlets that function as the propaganda arm of the left, even with Trump's unpopularity amongst segments of the population and even with the deliberate destruction of the economy on the pretext that it was necessary to fight COVID-19, they could not defeat Donald Trump.  His supporters were highly enthusiastic.  Joe Biden's were lukewarm at best.  It was necessary then to do two things.  First, it needed to made possible for even those tepid Biden supporters, those who would never get off the couch to go to their polling place, to vote from the comfort of their living rooms by doing nothing more than licking a stamp.  That meant the massive implementation of no-excuse mail-in voting.  Second, since even then it was likely Biden would fall far short, the door needed to be opened to electoral fraud on a massive scale.  They needed to gut the system of all checks that were in place to determine the validity of ballots received in the mail.  So, while Trump's supporters and the GOP apparatus slumbered, the Democratic Party and its allies went out and made this happen.

Some Hard Truths We Face as Patriotic Americans as We Near January 6th:  Americans have absorbed the truth that the institutions long depended upon for redress are compromised.  For years we had always suspected this, but in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election this has been confirmed with much dismay and sadness. [...] Here are 25 hard truths Americans can no longer rationalize away:
  [#1]    A presidential election was stolen from President Donald J. Trump in the most brazen and in your face way possible.
  [#2]    The government elites in all three branches, and in both parties, appear to be in on or complicit in the steal either by omission or commission.
  [#3]    The strings of our government are being pulled by China and other global interests that have no qualms about tearing down our time-honored values of freedom of speech, freedom of association, and freedom of religion.
  [#4]    The Supreme Court, except for Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito has allowed partisanship, virtue signaling and cowardice to influence the merits of the cases they have deigned to accept or reject.
  [#5]    There is no Democrat and Republican Party, only a UniParty.  Both parties are merely two sides of the same coin, dedicated to selling out the country to China for power and enrichment.
  [#6]    News is not what the corporate media delivers, only leftist/globalist propaganda that rarely speaks ill of China or George Soros. [...]
  [#8]    If Joe Biden is sworn in as president, he will make a mockery of American ideals of honesty, integrity, and fair play. [...]

Farewell to a Dreadful Year.  Against this backdrop we held an unprecedented presidential election.  COVID provided the pretext for the country to adopt a new system of voting.  While it was deemed entirely safe for people to cram into a Wal-Mart, voting in person was deemed to be so unsafe that a new regime of mail-in voting was adopted, at the urging of the Democrats.  Hans von Spakovsky, an election law expert at the Heritage Foundation, previewed all of the potential problems with mail-in voting back in August: mail-in ballots are more vulnerable to being altered, stolen, or forged; they run the risk of being miscarried or not delivered by the postal service; and they run the risk of not being not being postmarked, making it impossible to determine if they were mailed on time.  For the Democrats, of course, these irregularities were a feature, not a bug. [...] It was little wonder that millions of Americans concluded that the election was a farce.

The Ridiculous and Outmoded Way America Holds Elections.  This year, I took up the challenge to "put your money where your mouth is" by becoming a Republican election poll worker in my precinct in Ohio.  Having now worked 17 straight hours on the inside of the election process, checking in and processing voters, as well as being one of the two persons responsible for delivering my precincts votes to the local Board of Elections, one irrefutable fact emerges from that experience:  the way in which we hold our national elections is ridiculous and inexcusable.  This is the untold story of the 2020 elections and a question everyone needs to ask. [...]

Is Voter Fraud Real?  What is the greatest threat to free and fair elections in America?  Here's a hint:  it's not Russia, or any other foreign power.  It's not a person, either.  It's something much more subtle, and much more dangerous.  [Video clip]

Voting against mob rule.  Most of the Founders were scholarly, erudite men.  Our founders were not only writers but readers of the great teachers of bygone eras.  Not only did they search the Bible, but the classic works of teachers and students of Grecian and Roman governmental innovation.
  •   Nowhere in the Bible is authorization for man to enjoy the right to govern himself through majority rule.
  •   The most infamous vote for justice (or injustice) was in the ballot to save Barabbas over saving God himself.
  •   The execution of Christ is one of history's most significant examples of "mob rule."
  •   When humanity received the Ten Commandments, there was no vote on its legitimacy
As they were writing the Constitution and its Amendments, the writings of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle were fresh in the founder's minds.  In reading their work, no Constitutional amendments uses the phrase "right to vote."  Not in the original text nor the Bill of Rights.

The Plan to "Make America, American Again".  California Dems made sure the people of Mexico and other foreign countries understood the borders were open, no one would ever be sent back, and Democrats would give them every form of welfare for free.  Then they gave illegals drivers licenses.  They registered illegals automatically at DMV.  They made sure there was no Voter ID at the polls.  Recognize the plan?  Gavin Newsom gave it away.  This is now the national plan for Democrats.  Make the whole country into California.

Cloward-Piven Strategy.  [Scroll down]  All three of these organizations — ACORN, Project Vote and Human SERVE — set to work lobbying energetically for the so-called Motor-Voter law, which President Bill Clinton ultimately signed in 1993. At the White House signing ceremony for this bill, both Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven were in attendance.  The new law eliminated many controls on voter fraud, making it easy for voters to register but difficult to determine the validity of new registrations.  Under the new law, states were required to provide opportunities for voter registration to any person who showed up at a government office to renew a driver's license or to apply for welfare or unemployment benefits.  "Examiners were under orders not to ask anyone for identification or proof of citizenship," notes Wall Street Journal columnist John Fund in his book, Stealing Elections.  "States had to permit mailing voter registrations, which allowed anyone to register without any personal contact with a registrar or election officials.  Finally, states were limited in pruning 'deadwood' — people who had died, moved, or been convicted of crimes — from their rolls.

Five Truths About Elections.  [#2] Elections are the fulcrum on which our unique system of government balances, therefore our elections are crucial.  They are also under attack.  Whereas the Russians don't seem to have been very effective, if, in fact, they were tinkering with our presidential choices, forces inside America are working hard to make elections pointless.  The integrity of the voting process itself must be protected.  We learned that in the hanging-chad election.  Without assurance that our votes are not being canceled out by infected voting machines, or dead, illegal, or felonious voters, we lose our ability to choose our future.  Without the enforcement of election laws, we make a mockery of the whole system.

Voter fraud exists — Even though many in the media claim it doesn't.  For example, to improve the accuracy of Georgia's records, state legislators last year required that information on a voter registration application match a "driver's license, state ID card or Social Security record." Inconsistencies can cause a voter's registration to be flagged as "pending" while the discrepancy is investigated.  Brian Kemp, the GOP candidate for governor and current secretary of state in Georgia, is being accused of "voter suppression" because of this law.  But a "pending" status does not prevent anyone from voting as long as he or she has a government ID that substantially matches the registration application.  In any event, every voter can cast a provisional ballot that will be counted once the registration information is verified.  As the secretary of state told radio host Erick Erickson, there are 75,000 pending voters among a record total of 7 million registered in the state.  Of these, 9,224 are minors under 18; 2,935 used a fake address; 3,393 are not citizens, and 5,842 were already registered.  Of the remaining applications, 75 percent submitted erroneous Social Security information.  Almost a quarter of those "sloppy forms" came from a registration effort by the New Georgia Project, a group founded in 2014 by Stacey Abrams, the Democratic nominee for governor.

Voter Fraud Is Not a Myth.  Democrats keep claiming that voter fraud is a myth.  But voter fraud has mattered in plenty of American elections.  Take Lyndon Johnson's election to the U.S. Senate in 1948, when LBJ won by manufacturing enough fake votes to turn a 20,000-vote deficit into an 87-vote win.  Others point to voter fraud in Illinois and Texas during the 1960 presidential election; indeed, we may never know whether Kennedy actually "won."  Chicago was infamous for counting the votes of dead people.  In 1982, U.S. Attorney Daniel Webb found that at least 100,000 fraudulent votes were cast.  In 1994, Democrats obtained control of the Pennsylvania state Senate through large-scale voter fraud using absentee ballots.  In 2008, illegal voting made a decisive difference in a U.S. Senate race, giving Al Franken a seat from Minnesota — one could argue that Franken's vote allowed Obamacare to get through the Senate.  Make no mistake:  Voter fraud is still a problem — even in the 2016 election cycle.  Take these cases discovered during just the last month and a half: [...]

What Leftists Stand For
  [#16]   They believe that illegals should be counted along with Americans when apportioning House seats.
  [#17]   They can't win elections, so they import immigrants and illegal aliens who will vote for them.
  [#18]   They want to give convicted child-molesters, murderers, rapists, and major drug-dealers the right to vote.
  [#19]   They work hard to keep the folks in the military from voting.
  [#20]   They support policies that increase people's dependence on government in order to get more votes, even though that subjects people to miserable lives.

The Clinton Record.  [Scroll down]  Look at the evidence and decide for yourself:
  •   A 2012 report by the Pew Center on the States found that 24 million voter registrations — one-eighth of all registrations nationwide — were either invalid or inaccurate, including more than 1.8 million dead people who were still registered.
  •   A 2014 study found that two years earlier, some 155,692 registered voters in North Carolina alone had first and last names, birth dates, and final-four Social Security Number digits that matched those of voters who were registered in other states.
  •   The same study also found that 35,570 people who had actually voted in North Carolina, had first names, last names, and birth dates that matched those of voters who had cast ballots in other states.
  •   In 2008, Democrat Al Franken won a highly controversial U.S. Senate race in Minnesota by just 312 votes.  It was later discovered that 1,099 felons — all legally ineligible to vote — had cast ballots in the election, almost exclusively for Franken.
  •   A 2006 study found that 77,000 dead people were listed on New York's statewide database of registered voters, and that as many as 2,600 of them had somehow managed to cast ballots from the grave.
  •   In Milwaukee in 2004, approximately 5,300 more ballots were cast, than voters who were recorded as having shown up at the polls.
  •   In 2008, election officials nationwide had to discard at least 400,000 bogus voter registrations submitted by ACORN, the now-defunct criminal operation masquerading as a "community organization."
  •   In 2011, a Colorado study found that of the nearly 12,000 non-citizens who were illegally registered to vote in that state, about 5,000 had taken part in the 2010 general election.
  •   In ten Colorado counties in 2012, voter registrations outnumbered the total voting-age population by between 4% and 40%.
The foregoing examples represent only the barest tip of a colossal election-fraud iceberg.


Timely news and commentary:

They've Finally Finished Counting Votes, and Yes, It's Fishy.  [Scroll down]  There are oddities about 2024 as well.  On Nov. 8, Trump had 74,225,926 popular votes, and Harris had 68,800,347.  Since then, 6,215,460 of the votes counted late have gone for Harris, and only 3,076,238 for Trump.  That's a resounding 66.9% of the late-counted vote going for Harris, and even though these are mostly from California and other deep-blue states, the percentage is striking.  Harris won California itself with a comparably low 58.45%.  And why did the late-counted votes flip several House seats from the Republican to the Democrat column but caused none to flip the other way?  Maybe the massive percentage for Harris is because more people who use mail-in ballots tend to vote for Democrats.  It is, however, precisely because of the ease with which mail-in balloting can be manipulated that many patriots are suspicious of it.  This is just part of the American electoral system that needs a massive overhaul in order to ensure that we continue to have free and fair elections.  Just because the results were generally good this time doesn't mean that the system isn't broken in a big way.  It is crucial for Americans to address this issue.

How Much Voter Fraud In 2020?  There is no doubt that improprieties impacted the 2020 presidential election.  Suppression of free speech by social media platforms, Zuckbucks, and above all the concealment of definitive evidence of Joe Biden's corruption by the Dirty 51 and the press, very likely swung the election to Biden.  But how about outright voter fraud?  We will never know how extensive the fraud was, since the essence of a successful fraud is that it is not detected, or at least not proved.  But a look at the gross numbers can provide a meaningful context for the question.  [Graph, statistics]  A few things obviously stand out.  Turnout was virtually flat from 2004 through 2016.  Then, many more votes were cast in 2020 and 2024.  Why?  No doubt the main reason is that many (I think most) states have shifted from an Election Day to an election season.  That change has allowed both parties to harvest ballots in a manner that was never seen before.  Democrats got into the ballot harvesting business first, but Republicans have more or less caught up.  That said, the vote totals for 2020 are still striking.

The Case Of The Missing 15,000,000.  From Russiagate to the uselessness of masks to Hunter Biden's laptop, the pattern we've all come to recognize is Democrat-controlled institutions lying to our face about something, then accusing people of being "conspiracy theorists" when people question the false narrative.  Time after time, the "conspiracy theorists" were proven right.  So let's hear Townhall's Larry O'Connor talk about those missing 15,000,000 Biden votes from the 2020 Presidential election.  [Video clip] [...] Democrats have been confronted by a whole lot of difficult truths following this election:  A majority of Americans dislike their party, people hate wokeness, and Joe Biden was just as senile and corrupt as Republicans have argued all along.  Now they should face up to the fact that President Lol81million's 2020 "victory" was due to massive voter fraud.  Just like all of us said four years ago.

Why Didn't They Steal It?  Jay Valentine, one of America's most proficient and successful digital fraud experts, has dug out the tens of thousands of beta-males and blue-haired ninnies who labor away in the globalist trenches.  They give themselves grand names, like the Chinese Progressive Association, but in fact, they are mentally ill kids paid to hate and steal and when necessary manufacture votes.  Kamala may have formally spent $1.2 billion on her campaign, but according to one of her very cross campaign advisers, there was another billion in globalist funds smurfed through the countless non-profits that form the life-blood, the circulation system of the left.  Nineteen states are investigating Act Blue, caught red-handed stealing the identities of elderly working-class men and women and donating tens of thousands in their name per year in tiny amounts, the fraud continuing for a decade, more.  Even the dead contribute.  The actual money is from foreign governments, billionaires, American and otherwise.  The video showing the network, the names, the financing numbers can be found here.  Every dot is an NGO funded by China, Iran, or European and American billionaires working to subvert your vote.  Omega4America and Stop Bogus Ballots have done sterling work outlining how millions of votes, up to 32% of all votes, are manufactured.

North Carolina elections board dismisses challenges against 60,000 votes.  The North Carolina Board of Elections on Wednesday dismissed Republican candidates' formal election protests challenging the results of their close-margin elections last month.  The challenges included more than 60,000 votes.  North Carolina Court of Appeals Judge Jefferson Griffin, who ran for a state Supreme Court seat, two state Senate candidates and a representative running for reelection in the state House brought the challenges.  Griffin trailed his opponent, Supreme Court Associate Justice Allison Riggs, by 734 votes.  Griffin had maintained a lead over Riggs for several days after the election, before Riggs came ahead after counties finalized counting absentee and provisional ballots.  Riggs has held on to her lead through two recounts requested by Griffin.

Colorado Officials Persecuting Tina Peters Worked for Dominion.  President Trump said, "Does anyone notice that the election-rigging Biden administration never goes after the riggers, but only after those that want to catch and expose the rigging dogs?"  One of the most high-profile examples of the government's prosecution of the innocent — is former Mesa County Clerk, Tina Peters.  After Peters' sentencing last month to nine years in prison — new information has surfaced showing that Colorado officials were working for Dominion and Runbeck, while simultaneously orchestrating Peters' reputational and legal downfall through back channels.

How California Stole Trump's Popular Vote Majority.  December is here, the election has been over for a month, Trump has picked out his cabinet and California is still counting the votes.  And will go on counting them until the Dems win.  Considering Trump's landslide victory, California had a difficult task ahead of it, but it has already managed to flip the seats held by Rep. Mike Garcia, Rep. Michelle Steel and just stole the seat held by Rep. John Duarte.  In Duarte's 13th congressional district, California Dems have taken a month to count a little over 210,000 votes.  That's an impressive achievement considering that the proverbial Florida Man seems able to count the votes on Election night.  Even third world countries seem to do it.  It took Democrats 'counting' a full 3 weeks to get the Democrat challenger to finally take a lead.  Four weeks later, they are declaring victory after finally having 'found' enough ballots.  Garcia, Steel and Duarte were all leading on Election night until late-arriving mail drop ballots showed up.  California Democrats flipping three seats matches the dubious accomplishment of their New York counterparts who also flipped three seats.

The legal fray builds in a very close North Carolina Supreme Court election.  The North Carolina Democratic Party sued on Friday to block the potential removal of tens of thousands of ballots tallied in an extremely close state Supreme Court race, saying state election officials would be violating federal law if they sided with protests initiated by the trailing Republican candidate.  The lawsuit filed in Raleigh federal court comes as attorneys for Court of Appeals Judge Jefferson Griffin also went to state courts on Friday to attempt to force the State Board of Elections to act more quickly on accusations contained in the protests.  The board tentatively planned to hold a public hearing on the protests next Wednesday, according to a board email provided with Griffin's motion.  Griffin wants a final decision from the board earlier.

Attestation:: A bizarre way to run elections.  In the 2024 election cycle in Oregon, we have seen a total failure of any sense of fair, transparent, honest elections.  We have a system that relies on "self-attestation" to provide election security. [...] It now appears the self-attestation in Oregon is a total failure, as the number of illegals voting in our elections continues to rise.  So far, they have identified between 50,000 to 65,000 illegals who have voted in Oregon's elections.  We have some races in Oregon that were supposedly decided by less than 200 votes, so let's ask the question:  With thousands of votes already identified as illegal and many more suspected, how do you certify this election without a fully transparent public [bipartisan] audit?  There is no minimizing the damage illegal voting has done to Oregon; there is no slapping a bandage on this.  Oregonians of all party affiliations should be demanding open public results.  Anything less is criminal.  The federal government should consider the Oregon state government a rogue unelected body until all public audits are complete.

Oregon, where cheating is a virtue!  As early voting results came in, the Oregon Secretary of State gave a small notice that 300 illegal voters had voted in the election.  As time went on, the number of these illicit votes grew almost daily:  1200, 1800, 2500, until now, three weeks after the election, the count stands at over 62,500 and change.  It appears that the Oregon Secretary of State will try to certify this election's results.  The Democrats now hold supermajorities in both the State House of Representatives and the State Senate, along with a Democrat governor, attorney general, and treasurer.  This is what you get when you have one-party rule for decades:  you get cheating, corruption, arrogance, and citizens treated like peons.  If I could offer anything of value to those who think the convenience of mail-in voting is a good thing, it would be this:  You have no safeguards for who can vote, who gets a ballot, and whether your vote counts or not.

Republicans Face Narrowest House Majority in 90 Years, Thanks to California's Ballot Harvesting.  Now that counting has finally been completed in lawless California, where elections no longer take place, a mad dash of ballot harvesting and illegal voters determines elections in the Golden State today.  Republicans lost their final seat when Derek Tran ousted Michelle Steel after three weeks of counting and collecting suspect ballots in Orange County.  Tran was declared the winner the day before Thanksgiving.  Leftist CNN's Harry Enten, a senior data analyst, sounded the alarm on the historically slim GOP majority, pointing out that if current projections hold, the Republican advantage could be the smallest in nearly a century.  As it stands, Republicans are projected to hold just 220 seats compared to the Democrats' 215.  This razor-thin margin leaves little room for error, particularly as President Trump has announced nominations for three key Republican members — Elise Stefanik, Matt Gaetz, and Mike Waltz — to join his administration.

Democrat Derek Tran Ousts Republican Incumbent Michelle Steel in OC's Bright Red District 45 More Than 3 Weeks After Election Day.  Democrat Derek Tran unseated Republican incumbent Michelle Steel in Orange County, California's bright red District 45 more than 3 weeks after Election Day.  Rep. Michelle Steel conceded on Wednesday, one day after Derek Tran declared victory.  Rep. Steel served two consecutive terms in Congress.  [Tweet]  This is what happens when ballot harvesting is legal, ballot 'curing' for weeks after the election is allowed and there is no voter ID.

Minnesota Election Officials Likely Discarded 21 Ballots in Closely Contested Race Decided by Just 14 Votes.  A preliminary investigation into the disappearance of 21 ballots in the razor-thin Minnesota House District 54A race has revealed that the ballots were likely thrown away while still in their secrecy envelopes.  The race, which covers Shakopee and parts of Scott County, was decided by a mere 14 votes, which cost Republicans a majority in Minnesota's State House.  The City of Shakopee conducted early voting from September 20 through November 4, 2024.  During this period, two voting methods were utilized:
  •   Envelope Voting:  Voters submitted their ballots in security and signature envelopes.
  •   Direct Ballot Voting:  From October 18 onwards, voters could scan their ballots directly.
On election night, discrepancies in the absentee ballot count became apparent.  By November 7, Scott County staff identified a 21-ballot discrepancy across two precincts, with P10 showing the most significant issue:  329 voters were checked in, but only 309 ballots were reported and processed.

Was Trump Right All Along? 2024 Results Revive Doubts About 2020.  [Scroll down]  Biden-Harris unleashed the power of the federal bureaucracy, using work-study programs to get college students to drive up voter registrations.  Harris raised more than $1 billion and spent massively on voter mobilization and outreach during the 107 days she was a candidate, a record.  She springboarded off the impressive campaign infrastructure that Biden had been assembling for years.  Many states stepped up same-day voter registrations.  Both sides campaigned on the theme that 2024 was the most consequential election of our times.  Despite one of the most considerable get-out-to-vote efforts in recent memory, with paid staff knocking on millions of doors before the elections, how could there be 2.2 million fewer total voters in 2024 than in 2020? Even more vexing, Harris, as a trailblazing woman candidate of color, won 5.8 million fewer votes than Biden.  Did that many Democrats not go to the polls?  They couldn't have voted for third-party candidates because the 2020 and 2024 totals for third-party candidates were identical.  We acknowledge that some of Biden's 2020 voters could have switched to Trump in 2024, who increased his performance by 3.5 million.  Even if you assume all those were erstwhile Biden supporters, even though the GOP worked hard to boost new voters, where did 2.3 million votes go?

The Editor says...
Yes, Trump was "right all along," and so were thousands (millions?) of others.

Do We Still Have to Pretend the 2020 Election Was 'Free and Fair'?  In 2020, Joe Biden's 81 million votes broke Barack Obama's 2008 record 69 million votes by 12 million votes or roughly 17 percent.  Obama's 2008 numbers were anomalous.  Hillary Clinton's 2016 numbers were closer to the norm, and Biden got nearly 25 percent more votes than she did, a cool 16 million additional votes when finally counted.  Campaigning from his basement, this cognitively-challenged, charisma-free codger did much too well in 2020, and now even the Left is noticing. [...] In 2024, with life back to something like normal, Harris was denied the performance-enhancing juice that propelled Biden in 2020.  That juice was formidable.  The convenient arrival of COVID gave the Democrats a rationale for dismantling the safeguards against voter fraud in state after state.  Some 39 states changed their election laws prior to the 2020 election.  That was unprecedented.  What was unconstitutional was that many of them did so without legislative approval.  In several states, the courts, electoral officials, and health honchos exploited the media-driven COVID panic to assume this right for themselves.  The Republicans responded with lawsuits, but the courts could not or would not respond in a timely fashion.

They're Still Counting Votes, but Four Million Are Still Missing.  The presidential election of 2024 was three weeks ago, but as of Tuesday morning, New Jersey has still counted only 91% of the votes that were cast (or something) there.  California and Oregon have only gotten around to counting 93%. And so, several times a day, the popular vote totals for Donald Trump and Kamala Harris continue to be adjusted.  Trump still has a comfortable lead, but Harris has (surprise, surprise) been steadily narrowing that lead.  On what is quaintly still referred to as Election Day, Trump's popular vote lead was about 4.5 million; now it's down to 2.4 million and decreasing, but should still hold.  The real question is:  What happened to the four million voters who turned out for Old Joe Biden in 2020 but were nowhere to be found in 2024.

Slow Clap:  Arizona Finally Finishes Counting Votes.  Three weeks after the 2024 presidential election, Arizona officials have finally finished counting votes.  President-elect Donald Trump handily won the state.  [Advertisement]  [Tweet]  Ten days ago, Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes attempted to explain why results take so long.  [Tweet with video clip]  Townhall, in partnership with Decision Desk HQ, called the Arizona race for Trump on November 6.  The President-elect spent significant time in the Grand Canyon State ahead of the victory.  [Advertisement]  [Tweet]  Meanwhile, Arizona Democrats are vowing to oppose Trump's agenda — with some risking jail time as a way to prevent deportation of criminal illegal aliens.

And This Is Why the Public Doesn't Trust the DOJ.  The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)'s Office of the Inspector General (OIG) has released its annual report identifying the top management and performance challenges currently facing the federal agency. [...] Based onthe OIG's oversight work, the inspector general's office blames a medley of Trump-era episodes as reasons why public trust in the institution has eroded over time.  First, the OIG report points to public statements that former federal prosecutor David Freed, a Trump-nominated U.S. attorney, made about an ongoing criminal probe into alleged ballot tampering during the 2020 presidential election.  Freed had said several mail-in military ballots, mostly cast for Donald Trump, were discarded (tossed into the trash) at a Pennsylvania election office in pro-Trump Luzerne County.  Ultimately, the OIG concluded that Freed's comments "unnecessarily inserted partisanship into the investigation" and "created a false impression" that the incident was "much more serious than DOJ leadership knew it to be."

Ranked Choice Voting Fails Bigly Almost Everywhere, Despite Backers Spending Big Bundles of Cash.  Ranked-choice voting and open primaries are two bad ideas whose time has most assuredly not come.  Both ideas were on the ballots of several states this election year, and despite proponents of both bad ideas literally pouring bushel baskets of cash into their campaigns to get these things passed, they failed — almost everywhere. [...] That is, they failed everywhere but Alaska.  Our RCV system was voted in by a razor-thin margin in 2020, and the repeal failed by a similarly razor-thin margin in 2024, despite the pro-repeal side being outspent by huge margins, including a great deal of dark money poured in from "Outside."  Another repeal effort is already getting organized for 2026. Alaskans don't give up easily.  And the tide appears to be turning against this bad idea.

Nancy Pelosi's Daughter Brags About 'Curing Ballots' in California.  Nancy Pelosi's daughter, Christine Pelosi, bragged about curing ballots in California as 2 Democrat candidates pull ahead nearly 3 weeks after Election Day.  This is what happens when ballot harvesting is legal and there is no voter ID.  California shifted red in 2024 with 40% of the voters in the Golden State voting for President Trump.  [Map]  Trump carried the down ballot and flipped several blue counties red in California, however, two Democrat candidates have pulled ahead nearly 3 weeks after the election and will likely flip the two seats blue.  [Advertisement]  Democrats are working to unseat two Republican incumbents in California nearly 3 weeks after Election Day:  John Duarte in District 13 (central valley) and Michelle Steel in District 45 (Orange County).  [Tweet]

Oregon DMV Busted Allowing People Of 'Unknown Citizenship' To Register To Vote.  The Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles has directed its employees to process the voter registration of those with "unknown citizenship" status, simply requiring that they claim eligibility, The Federalist has learned.  "If you don't prove that you're not a U.S. citizen, then you will be asked if you want to self-attest to being a citizen, and they will assist you with registering to vote," Republican state Rep. Ed Diehl told The Federalist.  Early last month, Democrat Gov. Tina Kotek paused Oregon's "motor voter" program as the state began a cursory investigation into how the system had registered more than 1,500 potential noncitizens to vote, as The Federalist previously reported.  In response to this discovery, Diehl met with state DMV leaders on Oct. 21. He said the DMV has reverted to only registering voters with a form that relies on attestation to prove citizenship.

Eric Hovde's Wisconsin Senate Race Opens the Door to a Criminal Investigation.  The Democrats may have made a significant mistake in their all-too-obvious attempt to steal a U.S. Senate seat from GOP candidate Eric Hovde.  As Hovde explained in a November 12 video, in the early hours of November 6, 2024, he received congratulatory calls for his apparent win.  Then, suddenly, by 4:00 am, "a staggering 108,000 absentee ballots were dumped from Milwaukee, with two-term incumbent Senator [and [Democrat candidate]Tammy Baldwin receiving nearly 90 percent of those votes." Hovde objected:  "Statistically, this outcome seemed improbable, as it didn't match the patterns from same-day voting in Milwaukee, where I received 22 percent of the votes."  The problem for Democrats is that the late-night drop of an improbable 108,000 thousand absentee ballots that were nearly all for the Democratic candidate fitted an all-too-recognizable pattern of election fraud made possible by cryptographic algorithms embedded covertly in the official State Board of Elections (SBOE) voter registration database.  Unfortunately for the Democrats, Andrew Paquette, Ph.D., had previously found an illegal clandestine algorithm in the SBOE voter rolls.

The election was two weeks ago.
Begich Flips Alaska's Lone House Seat for Republicans.  Republican Nick Begich defeated incumbent Democrat Mary Peltola in Alaska's at-large Congressional District.  The results came Wednesday evening after a ranked-choice tabulation was completed.  [Advertisement]  [Tweet]  "Congratulations to Congressman-elect Nick Begich on his resounding victory," National Republican Congressional Committee spokesperson Ben Petersen said in a statement after the results posted.  "Alaskans just sent an America First fighter to drain the swamp and stop the liberal war on Alaska, and Congressman-elect Begich will deliver."

Bob Casey concedes to Dave McCormick in race for Pennsylvania seat in US Senate.  Democrat Bob Casey has conceded to Republican Dave McCormick in the race for one of Pennsylvania's seats in the US Senate.  The Associated Press called the race for McCormick on Nov. 7, two days after Election Day.  On Nov. 13, Pennsylvania election officials announced the race was within the percentage for a legally required recount.  Thursday evening, Casey announced he called and congratulated McCormick on his victory after the first count of ballots was completed.  Casey has been in the Senate since 2007.

Election Judge Charged with Felony for Accepting Unregistered Votes.  A Minnesota election judge faces criminal charges following allegations of allowing people not properly registered before the 2024 elections to vote.  Timothy Michael Scouton, who operated as the head election judge for Badoura Township Precinct in Hubbard County, has been charged with two felonies:  accepting votes from unregistered individuals and neglecting his duties as an election official.  An election auditor alerted authorities that at least 11 individuals were permitted to vote despite not completing the required registration forms intended to verify voter identity.  Another judge working with Scouton on election night informed the police that Scouton instructed her to bypass the proper registration procedures.

Josh Shapiro Lies About Election Laws To Make Excuses For Counties Counting Invalid Ballots.  Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro lied about election law on Monday night to try to excuse the behavior of Democrat election commissioners who expressly stated their intent to violate the law and flout the state Supreme Court when they decided to count invalid ballots.  Bucks County was one of several counties that decided to count mail-in ballots that were misdated or undated despite the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruling those ballots were not to be counted under state law.  The decision set off a flurry of lawsuits by Republicans.  Rather than act swiftly to uphold the rule of law and integrity of the election, Shapiro waited days to release a statement about the decision of Democrats to count invalid ballots to try to sway the race for incumbent Sen. Bob Casey, who lost re-election to Sen.-elect Dave McCormick.

Tina Peters appeal filed while justice awaits Jena Griswold.  The legal journey of Tina Peters, former Clerk and Recorder of Mesa County, Colorado, has become emblematic of the contentious debates surrounding election integrity and judicial fairness.  Peters now seeks bond pending appeal, citing significant procedural and constitutional concerns in her trial.  Peters was convicted on charges that stemmed from her decision to hire a cybersecurity expert to create forensic images of Mesa County's election management system (EMS).  This action followed a directive from the Colorado Secretary of State to perform a software update, which Peters believed might erase key election records.  Her intent, she insists, was to comply with federal laws mandating the preservation of election records for 22 months.  The crux of the prosecution's case centered on Peters' alleged misrepresentation of the expert's identity and breach of procedural protocols.  The court sentenced her to nine years in prison, citing her vocal criticisms of election security as dangerous to the community.

RNC Chair Michael Whatley Lays Out What the Feds Can Do to Clean Up Elections.  There are specific actions the federal government could take to help clean up elections, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Whatley said during an appearance on Breitbart News Daily last week.  Host Mike Slater asked Whatley what the feds can do when it comes to election integrity.  "Because I know this is a states thing and even a local thing, but what role can the federal government play in cleaning things?" Slater asked.  Whatley acknowledged that elections are supposed to be conducted by the states, which determine "time, place and manner of the elections."  However, the federal government, he said, can come in and "say certain things need to happen."  "Like, for example, they have said states must clean up their voter rolls every year," he said.

PA Supreme Court Unanimously Shuts Down Illegal Vote Counting in McCormick-Casey Race.  The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Monday affirmed its previous ruling that counties may not count mail-in and absentee ballots that have missing or incorrect dates or signatures, and intervened to immediately exclude misdated and undated ballots from the count.  The ruling comes amid an ongoing automatic recount in the razor-close race between Republican Senator Elect David McCormick and Democrat incumbent Senator Bob Casey.  [Advertisement]  "It was a 7-0 decision not to count the votes that Casey and his D allies tried to slip through," noted former Bush White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer on X.  "This is a sad way for Senator Casey to end his career.  He should have spoken out against this.  So too should Governor Shapiro."  [Advertisement]  Several Democrat-controlled elections boards had defied the previous ruling, counting hundreds of such ballots in recent days.  Philadelphia, Montgomery and Bucks counties voted last week to count the illegal ballots.  During a meeting last Thursday, Bucks County commissioner Diane Ellis-Marseglia (D) argued that "precedent by a court doesn't matter anymore in this country.  And people violate laws anytime they want.  For me if I violate this law, it's because I want a court to pay attention to it."

PA Supreme Court to Dems:  The Steal Ends Now.  They tried to steal it.  They failed.  It was a weird dynamic where this event in Pennsylvania's Senate race was shocking but also not too surprising given liberal America's penchant for engaging in election shenanigans when results don't go their way.  Republican Dave McCormick defeated incumbent Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA), but he refused to concede.  Even with no path given how much vote is left and how provisional ballots land, with most being rejected due to not meeting the benchmark requirements for authenticity, McCormick's lead was viewed by both Republicans and Democrats as insurmountable.  Most of the outstanding ballots were in red counties, like Cambria.  It was over, but Casey and lawyer Marc Elias were finding ways to steal it.  [Two tweets with video clips]  In Bucks County, the Democratic commissioners obliged, defying the courts and declaring that illegal ballots would be counted.  The Republicans' legal team filed a challenge, and the Pennsylvania Supreme Court issued its ruling.  They ordered the immediate cessation of counting illegal ballots in the totally unnecessary recount.

PA Dems Attempting to Steal Senate Election May End Up in Some Serious Legal Trouble.  Pennsylvania Democrats are still trying to steal a Senate race from Republican Dave McCormick, who has won the seat.  Ousted incumbent Sen. Bob Casey won't admit that he's actually been ousted, however, and as we've covered for days now, he's enlisted the help of lawyer Marc Elias to drag out the process.  The state is preparing for a recount — to which Casey is entitled under the law — which will push the final conclusion until the brink of Thanksgiving. "As outlined in Act 97, the 67 county boards of elections must begin their recounts by Wednesday, Nov. 20, and complete them by noon on Tuesday, Nov. 26.  The boards must send Mr. Schmidt the results of their recounts no later than noon on Wednesday, Nov. 27," the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Governor Shapiro Finally Weighed in on Democrats Trying to Steal a Senate Seat.  Pennsylvania's Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro, who has presidential ambitions, finally weighed in on his party's efforts to steal a U.S. Senate seat in the Commonwealth.  "I want to be clear: any insinuation that our laws can be ignored or do not matter is irresponsible and does damage to faith in our electoral process.  The rule of law matters in this Commonwealth, and as I have always said, it is critical for counties and officials in both parties to respect it with both their rhetoric and their actions," Shapiro released in a statement.  "As Governor, I will continue working to protect our democracy and the votes of all eligible Pennsylvanians — and we will continue to have free, fair, safe, secure elections in our Commonwealth."  [Tweet]

Could We Please Talk About '28 Dem Frontrunner Josh Shapiro Helping to Try and Steal a Senate Seat?  All those opining that Josh Shapiro would've made a better vice presidential pick than Tim Walz might want to pipe down right about now.  The fact is that Shapiro, the Democrat governor of Pennsylvania, is currently helping his party attempt to steal a Senate seat.  As we unfold what's going on here, keep in mind the fact that Shapiro is being lauded as a potential presidential candidate in 2028.  It bears repeating: one of the Democrat Party's apparent best and brightest is currently overseeing the attempted stealing of an election won fairly by Republican Dave McCormick in order to hand-deliver a Senate seat to his party.  Maybe this was the plan all along?  Keep Shapiro safely ensconced in Pennsylvania in case he needed to oversee the stealing of an election.  It's likely that the thought was that Shapiro could deliver Pennsylvania, whether legally or illegally, to Kamala Harris and help her get the electoral votes needed to take the White House.  Absent that opportunity, Shapiro is now able to shrink the Republican majority in the Senate by helping Bob Casey illegally keep his seat.

Illegal vote-counting continues in Pennsylvania, and even the Democrat governor calls out the cheating.  Democrats have said they never challenge elections and elections are clean and pure, but these lies have been on clear display in Pennsylvania for days.  County election counters even bragged that they were ignoring the law.  After days of cheating and a second ruling by the state supreme court ordering ineligible ballots not to be counted, Governor Shapiro finally came out and said that the county officials should follow all laws: [...] When will the media and other Democrats come out and tell sanctuary cities and states that they must follow all federal immigration laws?  The answer is never, because they pick and choose which laws they want to follow.  Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Merrick Garland, and the entire Biden administration never thought immigration laws that Congress passed applied to them.  They openly violated their oaths of office, and most of the media cheered.  Democrat governors are bragging about how they will not cooperate with the federal government to enforce immigration laws with Trump's looming second presidency, and I haven't heard the media or other Democrats lecture them about following laws.  It is a shame they care so little about citizens.

Democrats openly cheating in Pennsylvania, will anyone stop them?  Democrats, as is clearly being illustrated in Pennsylvania, do not care about the rule of law.  They do not care about court orders.  And they sure as hell don't care about the will of the people.  Far from wanting to save our democracy, they fervently wish to subvert it.  Anarcho-tyranny is fine with them as long as the anarchy serves their interests, and they are the tyrants.  This is why they have openly admitted to counting disqualified ballots despite the fact that doing so contravenes state law, court order, and the will of the majority of the state's voters.  Where is the outrage?  Where is the national media?  Where are the headlines such as "Democrats breaking the law" or "Democrats ignore court order" or "Pennsylvania Democrats spit in the face of voters?"  Just kidding, no one expects the mainstream media to report the truth anymore.  I certainly don't.

Democrat 'Election Deniers' In Pennsylvania And Iowa Refuse To Concede Races.  Funny how the times change.  Four years ago, Democrats and their pals in corporate media began painting then-President Donald Trump and Republicans who questioned the results of the troubled 2020 election as "election deniers."  Now, Democrats are doing all they can — including breaking election law — to challenge GOP victories in Iowa and Pennsylvania despite "insurmountable" odds.  Even The Washington Post, part of the left's corporate media public-relations team, sees the writing on the wall for Sen. Bob Casey, D-Penn.  The entrenched incumbent lost to Republican challenger Dave McCormick by some 24,000 votes in a swing state election that helped Republicans take back the Senate with a comfortable majority.  The Associated Press and other news outlets called the race for McCormick.  But Casey and his party of election integrity deniers, led by Democrat political ambulance chaser Marc Elias (Hillary Clinton's Russian dossier peddler), refuse to concede.  Instead, Casey's campaign has sought an expensive recount, and has no compunction about grinding election law under foot to tally enough votes to hold the seat.

WaPo Calls Out Dem Bob Casey for Trying to Overturn PA Senate Race.  The Washington Post's left-leaning editorial board published a scathing article about Pennsylvania Democrats who voted to count invalid ballots during the Senate race recount between Bob Casey (D-PA) and his Republican challenger, Dave McCormick.  Titled "Democrats thumb their nose at the rule of law in Pennsylvania," accused Casey and his Democrat allies of scheming the election integrity laws to count invalid provisional ballots that favored Casey. [...] The race has been called for McCormick by several outlets, including the Associated Press and Decision Desk HQ. The Republican has also been attending Capitol Hill meetings and has an office.  However, Casey has refused to concede.

Bucks County Democrats show again why voters trusted the GOP more on democracy.  "People violate laws any time they want."  Those words, shrugging off an alleged unlawful move last week, did not come from some Chicago gangbanger or Washington car thief.  Those words of wisdom came from Democrat Commissioner Diane Marseglia in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.  They came in response to the fact that the Democratic majority on the election commission had decided to ignore a binding state Supreme Court ruling in an attempt to engineer the election of Democratic incumbent Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.).  Rather than prompting a degree of introspection, the loss of both houses of Congress and the White House has had a curious effect on many Democrats, dropping any pretense of protecting democracy over partisanship.  Despite polls showing that the public trusted former president Donald Trump more than Vice President Harris in combatting threats to democracy, Democrats made "saving democracy" the thrust of this election.

Our Elections Are Not OK.  You most clearly see a broken election system when the margins are extremely tight.  We saw it in 2020 when approximately 40,000 votes in key states tipped the election, and not so much in 2024.  But rest assured, the public still lacks confidence in the integrity of our elections, and rightly so.  They are only partially transparent.  The tools to cheat are still on the table and able to be used.  This is a ticking time bomb that could throw America into chaos in a future close election.  The main problems are ridiculously extended voting periods, mass absentee ballots, lack of voter ID, flimsy signature verification, unsecured drop boxes, voting machines with opaque software and connectivity to the internet, and sloppy, inaccurate voter rolls.  We wouldn't accept any of these third-world standards in our personal banking or accounting practices — why are we OK applying them to our precious votes?

Pennsylvania Democrats openly admit to counting illegal ballots in McCormick-Casey race.  As the contested Pennsylvania Senate race barrels towards a $1 million recount, Democratic officials in a few blue counties are openly admitting to counting disqualified ballots in defiance of state law and court orders.  The Associated Press has called the race for Republican Sen.-elect Dave McCormick, who currently holds a 26,000 vote lead over incumbent Democratic Sen. Bob Casey.  But Casey has refused to concede and insisted that every vote be counted.  The close margin — within one percentage point — triggered an automatic recount under Pennsylvania law.  Yet the critical question is which votes should be counted?  The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled before the election that mail ballots lacking formally required signatures or dates should not be included in official results.  However, Democratic officials in Philadelphia and surrounding Bucks, Centre and Montgomery counties are ignoring that court order.

Stealing Pennsylvania.  Democrats in Pennsylvania are trying to steal a Senate seat.  That isn't hyperbole or an unreasonable accusation.  They are practically admitting it.  [Tweet with video clip]  By now, all of us have heard of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and heard far too much about election shenanigans there.  You may recall that election officials were turning away voters hours before the polls closed in early voting.  The violations were so egregious that a judge had to force the county to keep polls open for several extra days.  [Tweet with video clip]  It was a calculated move by a county commission dominated by Democrats.  [Tweet with video clip]  When the commissioners were running for office they said explicitly that controlling the county commission would allow Democrats to control the voting itself.

In plain view.  According to the current tabulation posted by the Associated Press, Republican Dave McCormick defeated incumbent Democrat Bob Casey by more than 24,000 votes in Pennsylvania's Senate contest.  The AP called the race for McCormick last week.  However, the margin falls just under 0.5 percent of the total and thus triggers a recount under Pennsylvania law.  It shouldn't be possible to pick up 24,000 votes in a recount and Casey could have waived it, but he is represented by Russia hoax fraudster Marc Elias and has other plans.  He seeks to alter the result by persuading friendly authorities to count illegal ballots.  Counties have reported just over 80,000 uncounted provisional, mail-in, and absentee ballots.  The update on Pennsylvania's November 13 press release on the race states:  "As of this afternoon, county election officials reported there are 60,366 uncounted provisional ballots and 20,155 uncounted mail-in and absentee ballots.  That 80,521 total includes all ballots for which county boards of elections have not yet made a final resolution regarding their validity or eligibility to be counted."

'People Violate Laws Anytime They Want': PA County Dems Defy State Law To Count Hundreds Of Illegal Votes.  Democrats on the Bucks County Board of Commissioners voted to illegally count misdated and undated ballots in an attempt to swing Pennsylvania's U.S. Senate election in favor of ousted Democrat incumbent Sen. Bob Casey, D-Penn.  The vote comes after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court already ruled those ballots were not allowed to be counted, per state law.  Diane Ellis-Marseglia, one of the Democrats, admitted she knew it was against the law, but voted to count the ballots anyway.  "I think we all know that precedent by a court doesn't matter anymore in this country.  And people violate laws anytime they want," she said.  "For me if I violate this law, it's because I want a court to pay attention to it."

The Democrats Are Trying To Steal The Pennsylvania Senate Election For Bob Casey.  CNN admits that Democrats are actively trying to steal the election in Pennsylvania to help Bob Casey.  "Democrats in PA are openly defying court rulings from the state's Supreme Court to benefit Bob Casey," CNN senior reporter said.  The move by Democrats is bold considering Trump has vowed to prosecute election cheaters.  [Video clip]

Colorado GOP Drops Bombshell Audio Exposing Secretary of State's Office Covering Up Voting Machine Password Leak to Avoid a 'Media Storm'.  The Colorado GOP has released an audio that reveals Secretary of State Jena Griswold and her team deliberately concealed the exposure of sensitive voting machine passwords to avoid a media firestorm.  The Gateway Pundit reported that Griswold's office inadvertently published approximately 600 BIOS passwords for election equipment across 63 of Colorado's 64 counties, according to the Colorado GOP affidavit.  This alarming breach, which first came to light in August, is believed to have occurred as early as June — right before the state's primary election.  Surprisingly, these sensitive passwords remained accessible on her website until late October.  Griswold did not notify the county clerks of this breach, and they only found out when the Colorado GOP released it.

Automatic Voter Registration Should Be Banned.  Automatic voter registration (AVR) creates a honeypot for voter fraud by bloating voter rolls — often in numbers above the actual population.  It can allow noncitizens to register; and allows low-information, indifferent people to register who normally care nothing about voting.  All of this results in the lowest common denominator getting elected to office, breeding corruption.  The push for AVR began during the middle of the last decade; today 24 states use it in some way.  Usually, it consists of some combination of adding anyone who gets a driver's license to the rolls, whether they care to register, or allowing them to opt out of registering when they get their license or a state government benefit.  Thus the nickname: "Motor voter" laws.

6 Things You Need to Know About Recount in Pennsylvania Senate Race.  [#1] What's Happening With Undated or Improperly Dated Ballots?  The key question in the recount for the Senate seat in Pennsylvania is what votes are subject to the recount.  [Advertisement]  In a win Thursday for the Casey campaign, Bucks County voted to count ballots that weren't dated or were improperly dated under state law.  [Tweet]  On Nov. 1, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court determined that mail-in ballots must be dated to count in the Nov. 5 election.  However, Democratic officials in some counties now are seeking to count undated or incorrectly dated ballots.  Without a date on a ballot, it's not clear whether it was cast on or before Election Day.  Arguing Thursday morning before the state Supreme Court, the Pennsylvania Republican Party opposed counting undated ballots.  "While Republican U.S. Senate candidate Dave McCormick currently holds an insurmountable lead of nearly 30,000 votes over his Democrat opponent Bob Casey, numerous County Boards of Elections including Philadelphia, Bucks, Centre, and potentially others took an impromptu vote to count undated or improperly dated mail-in ballots, in bold defiance of Pennsylvania law and two State Supreme Court orders," the state's Republican Party said Thursday in a post on the social media platform X.

An Election is on the Verge of Being Stolen in Pennsylvania.  The Bucks County Board of Elections, which is majority Democrat, voted to count undated ballots along party lines.  They're counting them in Philly and some other places.  The RNC has gone to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court asking it to urgently stop all county boards from counting undated ballots.  While the presidential election is done, Dems are trying to reverse Senator-Elect David McCormick's victory and put back outgoing Sen. Bob Casey.  If they get away with it, it helps set the stage for making 2028 look more like 2020 in which the election rules are changed or ignored.

The Biggest Blunder in the History of American Politics.  The biggest blunder in the history of American politics was the premeditated, unabashed, and overt theft of the 2020 presidential election by the Democrat Party, the legacy media, and their fellow left-wing elitists in the Ruling Class as that alliance failed to create an unquestioned landslide defeat of Donald Trump and were thus, forced into the impossible task of placating the extreme left-wing faction of the coalition.  This blunder set the stage for the 2024 Trump landslide and hastened the demise of the Democrat Party and the legacy media.  This cabal further compounded the original blunder of overtly stealing the 2020 election and being compelled into an alliance with the radical Left by adopting unprecedented lawfare against Donald Trump, insisting that an obviously addled Joe Biden be the Democrat nominee, ousting Biden four months before the election, and choreographing the nomination of the unlikeable and vacuous Kamala Harris.

Election Irregularities Prompt GOP Senate Candidate to Consider Contesting Results.  On election night, GOP Senate candidate Eric Hovde of Wisconsin led the vote count well into the middle of the night, then Sen. Tammy Baldwin benefited from a ballot dump at 4 a.m., where she received nearly an unprecedented share of the vote.  Hovde, who has been silent about the election results since last week, posted a video to X, revealing that he's been informed of precincts in Milwaukee that reported impossible turnout rates, and now he's considering his options about what to do about it.  He explained that he waited to comment until he could gather sufficient information, remarking, "I believe it's better not to comment until I have the facts."  Hovde went on to describe a rollercoaster election night.  He was receiving congratulatory calls around 1 a.m. as models suggested he was on track to win.  However, things shifted at 4 a.m., when Milwaukee reported a last-minute count of 108,000 absentee ballots that heavily favored Baldwin, who captured nearly 90% of that vote.

Judge recuses himself in Arizona fake elector case after urging response to attacks on Kamala Harris.  A judge recused himself Tuesday from presiding over Arizona's fake electors case after an email surfaced in which he told fellow judges to speak out against attacks on Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign for the presidency.  In the Aug. 29 email, Maricopa County Judge Bruce Cohen lamented that he didn't speak out when Harris was called a "DEI hire," believes that white men must speak out against unfair treatment of women, and raised a historical lesson from the Holocaust about the need to speak up when people are attacked.  Cohen didn't specify who made the comment regarding Harris.

FBI offering $25K reward for information on ballot box fires suspect.  The FBI said Wednesday it is offering up to $25,000 as a reward for information about the suspect behind recent ballot box fires in Oregon and Washington.  Authorities believe a male suspect who may have metalworking and welding experience was behind three ballot drop box fires in Portland and Vancouver, Washington, last month, including one that damaged hundreds of ballots in Vancouver about a week before Election Day.  They have described him as a white man, age 30 to 40, who is balding or has very short hair.

The Deep State War Against Donald Trump Begins.  Trump put the Deep State on notice that his first order of business was to investigate and prosecute in three areas:  [#1] The two assassination attempts on his life, with its indisputable charge that some in the Secret Service and Department of Homeland Security showed criminal negligence, forcing those individuals to cooperate with the special counsel;  [#2] The weaponization of the DOJ, the FBI, and certain intelligence agencies against President Trump's 2016 and 2024 campaigns and Trump personally, going back to 2015, with emphasis upon exposing the truth about the "Russia collusion hoax" and the Mueller investigation farce; and  [#3] The voter fraud that stole the 2020 presidential election, based on the discovery of secret cryptographic algorithms embedded in State Board of Education voter registration files to facilitate the creation, hiding, and voting of falsified "voters" to be available for use in various election fraud schemes, with particular focus on mail-in ballot irregularities.

Don't Let This Part of the 2024 Election Go Unnoticed.  [Scroll down]  Turnout is roughly the same as it was four years ago, but it's casting some suspicious vibes among many about the 81 million votes cast for Joe Biden.  The pandemic election was arguably fraught with shenanigans, including midnight vote dumps with unverified mail-in ballots.  That's why the Republican National Committee and the party's activist wing did an excellent job of having a legal brigade ready to file lawsuits and challenges on voting processes this time.  Bucks County, Pennsylvania, is a prime example, where voters were illegally turned away, leading to a challenge and a judge extending the early voting period.  On the county's last day of early voting, the lines were long, and the locations were still understaffed, but everyone who waited cast their ballot.  Trump eventually won the county, another first for a Republican since 1988.  Once again, Trump won virtually all the bellwether counties, like in 2020, but Biden won then.  Now, with COVID pansy guardrails removed regarding the election process, Trump delivered a blowout loss to Kamala and the Democrats.  Initially, it looked like more of a scandal since not all the ballots were counted.  At one point, the voter turnout was roughly the same as four years ago, with 14-18 million fewer Democratic votes.

Maricopa County Releases Another Bogus 97K Ballot Dump as They Steal Kari Lake's Race.  Maricopa County released two batches of ballots on Sunday totaling 120,423 votes, and Democrat Ruben Gallego's lead over Kari Lake has increased to over 66,000 votes across the state of Arizona.  The estimated number of uncounted ballots statewide is 272,239.  The first batch of 23,169 ballots, released at around 11 am MST Sunday, went more than 55% for Ruben Gallego and just over 41% in favor of Lake, netting Gallego an additional 3,278 votes.  Later, at 7 pm MST Maricopa dumped 97,254 ballots favoring Gallego 54% to Lake's 40%, bringing Gallego's lead above 66,000.  Notably, Kamala Harris won only 51% of these votes, and Trump won 47%, which makes no sense.

Is Trump Right to fear Election Fraud?  Cheating has Never Looked Easier.  Trump saw the manner of his election defeat as a personal affront.  Not only was the pausing of the ballot count on election night an assault on the constitutional rights of Americans, feeding suspicions that illegal ballots were being added to the tally to boost Joe Biden — but it was Trump who was the mark.  He was cheated, and so were you, he told the 74 million Americans who voted for him, and they, too, felt the sting of a public humiliation.  As I explain in my new book, Disappearing the President, Trump and his supporters were disenfranchised together in front of the whole world.  It's an insult they haven't forgotten.  Most Americans are heading into the 2024 election convinced that the outcome will be affected by cheating.

The Leftists Didn't Get the Memo.  Former President, now President-Elect, Donald Trump put together an incredible coalition of Americans who resoundingly rejected Kamala Harris and her attempt to continue the failed policies of the Biden-HARRIS administration.  We were told that we would have to wait days, maybe weeks, to find out the results of the election.  Nah, it came late that evening.  The early indicators were there when Miami-Dade and Duval Counties in Florida went to Trump.  Then, just north in my birth state of Georgia, we witnessed a massive shift of black men, and Fulton County was no longer the blue bulwark.  Even with the events that have happened in North Carolina, Trump won the state.  Things were extremely tight in Virginia, heck, Trump only lost New Jersey by 5%.  Ohio went to Trump, and all the southern states fell like dominoes.  In Texas, where I reside, everyone was talking about flipping the Lone Star State, and Kamala Harris had appeared in Houston with Beyonce.  So what.  Harris was trounced in Texas by almost 15%.  Trump only won Texas by 6% in 2020.

Arizona Officials Caught Changing the Ballot Totals as Counting for US Senate Seat Continues.  Just like we witnessed in the 2022 Arizona election, election officials are openly changing the ballot totals remaining to be counted without explanation.  In 2022, Democrats swept the state-wide elections despite Republicans having the strongest set of candidates in recent history.  Kari Lake was so impressive and polished that she made a name for herself nationally prior to the race.  But on election day, Maricopa County officials sent the wrong-sized paper to the precincts, essentially shutting down voting across the metro areas but especially in deep-red districts.  Democrats were somehow able to pick up over 50% of the votes that day despite having only a 17% turnout on Election Day.  Then, following Election Day, 25,000 mysterious and still unexplained ballots were inserted into Maricopa County's totals.  This was never investigated or explained.

Why There Wasn't as Much Democratic Cheating This Year in Battleground States.  [Scroll down]  Former Maricopa County Elections temporary worker and progressive activist Walter Ringfield, who was caught on video stealing a key fob earlier this year that would have reprogrammed all 140 voting machine tabulators in Maricopa County on Election Day according to Maricopa County Supervisor Bill Gates, is a classic example.  He was on probation for a felony and should have never been hired. [...] In Arizona, the left targeted Lake's race because they thought due to a few noisy voters supposedly on the right stating on social media that they didn't like Lake, the public would buy that approximately 150,000 more Arizona voters cast ballots for Trump but not Lake.  Lake allegedly performed terribly in Maricopa County — but Maricopa County is one of the reddest parts of the state, with 7% more registered Republicans than Democrats, which has increased since 2020.  It made no sense that the county trended more Democrat than in 2020 unlike most of the other counties.  Some of the cheating in that race looks so bad the left may not get away with it. [...]

Election Update 2024.  [Scroll down]  In Milwaukee this year, however, the county reported 89% turnout — up 11% from 2020 — and an increase in raw votes relative to 2020, despite the number of registered voters declining by about 25,000. [...] Wisconsin allows same-day voter registration, which means that turnout over 100% is theoretically possible if officials accept ballots without immediately updating the registration figures as well.  That said, these figures are, on their face, very difficult to believe.  Dr. Latinx, who was an excellent guide to interpreting the early vote and modeling the electorate, now estimates that the city might have produced about 30,000 fraudulent ballots, though he claims he is still collecting his findings into a white paper that he will submit to the National Republican Senatorial Committee.  The current margin in the Senate race, which has been called for Democratic incumbent Tammy Baldwin, is 29,229.

ACLU Loses Lawsuit to Extend Time to Find More Votes in Arizona.  The ACLU and Campaign Legal Center lost an emergency lawsuit in the Arizona Supreme Court to extend the deadline for Arizona mail-in ballot curing as ballot counting in Kari Lake's Arizona Senate race continues.  Ballot curing is a process that allows voters to "cure" their mail-in ballot signature if it was inconsistent with previous records.  The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that the RNC and Arizona GOP filed a response to the lawsuit arguing that the Plaintiffs' request attempts to subvert Arizona Statute, is based on inaccurate information about the number of ballots awaiting signature verification, and that Doctrine of Latches bars the request made four days after the election.  The RNC asked the Court to deny what they describe as an "improper and late attempt to thwart the will of the Arizona Legislature."

David McCormick Files Challenge to Philadelphia Ballots in Key Senate Race.  David McCormick filed a lawsuit challenging at least 15,000 provisional ballots in Philadelphia in the Pennsylvania Senate race, hours after claiming victory over Democratic Senator Bob Casey.  McCormick, a Republican, held a slight lead over Casey in the battleground state's Senate election on Friday.  McCormick's campaign has declared victory, but Casey has not conceded the race, as Democrats note there are still some outstanding ballots, and the race may end up within the threshold for an automatic recount.  The Associated Press projected McCormick as the winner, with 97 percent of the vote counted, but other outlets have not called the race.  On Friday, McCormick's campaign filed a legal challenge to 15,000 to 20,000 provisional ballots in Philadelphia, a Democratic stronghold.

Bob Casey still refuses to concede Pennsylvania Senate race to Dave McCormick — while waiting on long-shot Philadelphia ballots.  Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey is in denial after losing his race for a fourth term to Republican Senator-elect Dave McCormick, and clinging to a long-shot gamble that outstanding ballots from Philadelphia can make up the roughly 36,000-votes he needs to win.  The Casey team is banking on an increasingly narrow strategy of relying on outstanding provisional and military ballots from the City of Brotherly Love.  That plan prompted McCormick's campaign to sue the Philadelphia County Board of Elections to ensure that at least one Republican observes the vote-counting process and that their campaign can challenge provisional ballots in bulk, rather than individually.

Kamala Supporters Begin Questioning Results of the 2024 Presidential Election — Some Call for Audits.  Yes, Please!  After the results from this week's Presidential election shocked Democrats across the country, following months of being told by disingenuous polls that Kamala was leading or neck-and-neck with President Trump in each of the swing states, some have begun to call for audits and investigations.  The proverbial shoe is now on the other foot.  While Kamala has conceded defeat to President Trump and Democrat politicians have remained relatively silent in these calls, constituents have had a different sentiment and have taken to social media to insist something is amiss.  Thankfully, Elon Musk's X platform, formerly Twitter, no longer censors people for questioning elections like they did in the lead up to- and following the 2020 Presidential election, as YouTube and many other social media entities did, often at the behest of the government, violating the First Amendment.

Arizona election official said he wanted to 'make life hell' for Kari Lake with Senate race still undecided.  The election official overseeing voting in Arizona's most populous county told a friend last year that he was interested in pursuing a Senate run 'to make life hell for Kari [Lake]', according to court documents seen by DailyMail.com.  As Maricopa County Recorder, Stephen Richer is in charge of the ballots that could decide whether Lake triumphs in her tight run for the Senate.  But the comments will raise questions from allies of the conservative firebrand about whether he can be trusted to run a fair election.

Democrats Couldn't Get Away With 2020-Style Election Shenanigans In 2024 Thanks To The Election Integrity Movement.  The 2020 presidential election was marred by irregularities, insecure election practices, and last-minute rule changes that, as election integrity activists have since pointed out, benefitted Democrat Joe Biden.  As The Federalist Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway put it in her bestseller, the election was "Rigged."  But four years later, President-elect Donald Trump won in a landslide in part because Republicans and conservatives mobilized like never before to build a massive election integrity network focused on ensuring free and fair elections.  Take 2020 for example.  Republican observers "were either kept out, or allowed inside but kept too far away from the counting to see what was happening" at the Philadelphia Convention Center, as explained by my colleague Beth Brelje.  But following reports on Tuesday that Republican poll watchers were being "turned away" in Philadelphia, York, Westmoreland, Allegheny, Lehigh, Cambria, Wyoming, and Lackawanna counties, the Republican National Committee's (RNC) was on top of it.  RNC Chairman Michael Whatley said in a post on X that the committee "deployed our roving attorneys, engaged with local officials, and can now report that all Republican poll watchers have been let into the building."

Shady Dem lawyer behind Steele Dossier looking to overturn Pennsylvania Senate results.  A shady Democratic attorney who once loudly attacked President-elect Trump's refusal to accept the 2020 presidential results is now at the heart of a desperate legal effort to snatch Pennsylvania's Senate race away from its rightful winner — Republican Dave McCormick, campaign insiders say.  Marc Elias, a longtime Democratic election attorney and dirty trickster, is attempting to force the Pennsylvania Senate race into a recount, even though it was called for McCormick by the Associated Press on Thursday, with even the state's most liberal news outlets echoing the call since.  Despite the race being called, incumbent Democratic Sen. Bob Casey has refused to concede — blasting out a fundraising email Saturday urging supporters to pony up and make sure "every last vote in this PA Senate race is counted."  The keystone state requires an automatic recount if the margin of victory is less than 0.5%. With 99% of the ballots counted, McCormick leads Casey by more than 41,000 votes — just above the threshold triggering such a count.

Is a DNC election cheat going on to control the House?  The current White House administration is awkwardly going out of its way to broadcast the presence of "fair elections" and that the election system just proved that it's working just fine.  But the stalled, delayed House elections, and possible "ballot dumps," are setting the stage for the DNC to "count" its way to a House majority.  House of Representative powers include initiating all revenue bills, the authority to impeach federal officers, and even electing a president in the absence of a majority of votes in the Electoral College. [...] In my view, a possible "cheat" is on to "manage" ballots, their counting, and the reporting of results, while the White House press puts up a false conciliation posture, and a pure marketing act, to create the public impression of uniform fair elections and a peaceful transition.

By Massive Margins, Voters In Eight States Say Only Citizens Can Vote In Their Elections.  As divided as America may be, this election showed there's one thing most Americans agree on:  Only U.S. citizens should vote in U.S. elections.  Voters this week in eight states — Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Wisconsin — overwhelmingly approved constitutional amendment ballot questions seeking to ensure noncitizens cannot vote in state and local elections.  Foreign nationals are already barred from voting in federal elections. [...] As The Federalist has reported, the vast majority of states' constitutions include language that "every" citizen meeting age and residency requirements is eligible to vote.  The amendments demand that "only" U.S. citizens meeting the requirements are electors.

The Colorado Voting Machine Fiasco.  The Colorado voting machine security breach under Secretary of State Jena Griswold's watch is an epic in incompetence and deceit, a calamity born not out of malice but sheer, unchecked ineptitude.  This debacle is yet another compelling reason for the United States to move to paper ballots and same-day voting, at least for federal elections, to ensure the integrity and security of our electoral process. [...] Not only was the BIOS password exposed, but it was maintained unencrypted, sitting vulnerably in an Excel spreadsheet stored on state network drives.  One might think these officials were desperate to be hacked.  And when it comes to passwords — let's just say their approach violated even the most basic CISA guidelines, rules that have been around for more than fifteen years.  Apparently, securing voting systems is a task too advanced for those in charge.

Denver DA launches investigation of voting machine passwords.  The Denver District Attorney's office has begun an investigation into how many of Colorado's voting machine passwords ended up online.  Voting machine passwords for equipment in 34 of Colorado's 64 counties were listed on a hidden tab on a spreadsheet posted on the Secretary of State's website in June.  The state removed the passwords on Oct. 24, after an election vendor discovered it.  The public first became aware through an announcement by the Colorado GOP.  A spokesman for the Denver District Attorney's office would not provide more information about the ongoing investigation beyond confirming it is underway.  It's not the only prosecutor's office with its eye on the data breach.

RNC Chair Michael Whatley:  We Were on Top of Election Malfeasance, Dealt with 'Hundreds' of Issues.  The Republican National Committee (RNC) was on top of "hundreds" of issues on election night, working quickly with a team of lawyers to solve any possible instances of election malfeasance, and RNC Chairman Michael Whatley provided several examples of what their team did as Americans anxiously awaited the final election results.  Whatley said there are a "lot of stories" showcasing the RNC prioritizing election integrity on election night, noting that they dealt with "literally hundreds of issues all across the country."  "And a lot of them were, you know, they seemed minor at the time," he said, although he pointed to one issue in Philadelphia, as their poll observers — there were 230,000 nationwide with 15,000 in Pennsylvania alone — were prevented from entering.  "So all of our poll workers show up.  You know, when the, when the polls open, and they wouldn't let them in.  And you know, we're like, 'Well, we're the registered poll workers.'  They said, 'That's great.  You're not getting in,'" Whaley said, explaining that they were in front of those officials with lawyers and were "going to court within 15 minutes."

Indefensible Slow-Counting in NV, AZ, and CA Undermines Confidence in Democracy.  It's Friday, and they are still counting votes in Arizona, Nevada, and California.  And the longer this inexplicable madness goes on, the less anyone should trust the results.  Almost 11 million Americans cast their votes in Florida on Tuesday.  The Sunshine State finished counting within a few hours.  [Advertisement]  If the idiots who run Arizona's elections ever do decide to finish counting, we're talking at most about 3.5 million total votes.  [Advertisement]  The people who ride the short bus to count votes in Nevada probably won't hit 1.5 million total votes.  Sure, California has millions more voters than Florida, but we are talking about California, progressive California, the home of Silicon Valley.  It's freaken Friday and according to the New York Times tracker, only 59 percent of the vote has been counted.  [Advertisement]  Why is it that the "rubes" in Oklahoma can count their 1.5 million votes in a few hours but Nevada can't?

Where Are the Missing 11 Million Voters?  As of this writing on Friday, Donald Trump's popular vote total stood at 74,269,316.  By the time you see this article and click on that link, however, that total is certain to be higher.  Trump's final popular vote total has now exceeded his official 2020 total of 74,225,926. Kamala Harris, meanwhile, has 68,800,347 popular votes, a steep decline from Old Joe Biden's 2020 total of 81,286,454. [...] But what about that massive drop-off between Old Joe, the most popular president in American history according to his vote total, and Kamala?  Not only did eleven million voters not show up for Harris as they did for Biden, but they didn't go anywhere.  Not only did Kamala not get those votes, but there is no comparable increase in anyone else's vote total. [...] For four years, it has been impossible even to ask questions about the 2020 election.  Those who dared even to suggest that it may not actually have been the most secure election in history have been defamed as conspiracy theorists and deplatformed and silenced accordingly.

Election fraud in 2020
2020 Election Fraud Exposed?  On the morning of the presidential election we made a simple observation.  "Today may well expose the 2020 election fraud."  This wasn't pure speculation.  It came from closely following and reporting on what transpired during the 2020 presidential election and contrasting that with what was happening on the ground in early voting across a variety of states — in this particular case, Arizona.  Throughout the entire day there was something of a collective restraint to Trump's obviously mounting victory.  But by ~ 8:00 pm PST, it became obvious that it was over.  Trump had won — and by far too big a margin for any theft to change the outcome.  We got a little heat for stating decisively that Trump had won the Electoral College, the Popular Vote, the Senate and likely the House but these concerns were largely misplaced.  The math simply worked.  It was over.  But this also left us with the mathematical aftermath. 2020 was an obvious anomaly.  It stood out like a sore thumb when compared to the other election cycles:  [Chart, left.]

The Media Will Forever Pretend Not to Know, But with Last Night's Vote Totals They Do.  There is a video segment going viral from CNN that deserves some special attention.  Within the video CNN's Jake Tapper asks CNN election guru John King to show where Kamala is doing better than Joe Biden.  The result catches Tapper by surprise.  However, there's a big underpinning reality behind this.  Kamala Harris did not "underperform" Joe Biden, what the data actually shows is the missing fraudulent ballots from the 2020 election.  [Video clip]  Now that we know the basic 2024 raw vote total, we are able to put a scale on the number of fraudulent mail-in ballots from the 2020 election.  Based on 2024 vote/ballot data, 18 million ballots are missing when compared to 2020.  In 2024 there are 18 million fewer votes.  That's the approximate scale of ballot fraud from 2020.

20 Million Dem Votes Are Missing From 2020 To 2024.  Where'd They Go?  As votes continue to be counted, Donald Trump's lead feels so massive that it's hard to see how Kamala Harris didn't significantly underperform the Biden Benchmark of 2020.  She didn't just blow it; she blew it bigly.  In 2020, there were 81+ million votes cast for Biden and 74+ million cast for Trump — a grand total of over 155 million votes.  Currently, there's about 138 million total votes counted for the 2024 cycle.  Trump is less than 3 million short of his 2020 benchmark, meaning the bulk of the almost 20 million vote deficit is coming from the Harris camp.  Of course, votes in some of the big blue states will continue to trickle in for days (or weeks?!) after the fact, and Harris' final count will continue to rise.  But this is still a drastic difference for the morning after; where [...] did all these Biden loyalists go?

Arizona Voters Elect Staunch Conservative To Replace Maricopa County's Leftist-Friendly Elections Chief.  Voters in Arizona's largest county are on track to elect a staunch conservative to replace the locality's leftist-friendly elections chief.  On Wednesday, Democrat Tim Stringham announced that he had called Republican Justin Heap to effectively concede defeat in the race to become Maricopa County's next recorder.  Heap, a member of the Arizona Freedom Caucus, confirmed his opponent called to concede in a tweet published the same day.  "It is undeniably true that past elections, under both parties and spanning more than a decade, have denigrated our county's reputation and made us the laughing stock of the nation.  That ends today," Heap wrote on X.  While Arizona officials continue to count votes as of this article's publication, preliminary results show Heap currently leading Stringham by 4.2 points, according to The New York Times.  The apparent victory is welcome news for Arizona voters concerned about the integrity of Maricopa County elections.  Since 2021, the recorder position has been occupied by Stephen Richer, a self-styled "Republican" who is hostile to election integrity activists throughout the state.

Trump's Electrifying, World-Changing Victory.  [Scroll down]  Going back to 2020, Mark Alexander, publisher of The Patriot Post, spelled out the Democrats' vote-rigging criminal activity to defeat President Trump in devastating detail.  And this year, The Gateway Pundit has done yeoman work in exposing the sordid and longtime pattern of Democrat voter fraud.  In this revelatory piece, a Democrat operative, caught in an undercover video, explains how the Democrats "allegedly" stole the 2020 Election in Georgia, from kicking out GOP poll-watchers to a nursing home ballot-harvesting, et al.  In the same vein, Major General Paul E. Vallely (U.S. Army Ret.), in a jaw-dropping article, describes exactly how Democrats steal elections.  Just as diabolical is this 17-minute video, in which Mike Benz, deputy assistant secretary for international communication under President Trump, describes an elite-backed war game — a secret Democrat plan — entitled "Military Coup to Stop Trump."

Was the 2024 Election Too Big to Rig?  Was there election rigging in 2024?  Did the uniparty establishment and the institutions they control, desperate to prevent a Trump victory, break the rules?  Did they cheat?  Answering this question in the affirmative doesn't have to rely on the countless alarming allegations that are dismissed as unfounded conspiracy theories, even though there are so many of them:  The potential for mail-in ballot fraud, hundreds of ballots received at a single address, dozens of ballots received at a single address, questionable last-minute changes in verification procedures by the US Post Office, inaccurate voter rolls and fraudulent voter registrations, voter data leaks to partisan NGOs, vote harvesting, counterfeit ballots, destruction of legitimate ballots, ballot dumps, selectively applied "malfunctions" of voting machines in multiple states, last minute "patches" to fix voting machine software, illegal immigrants voting, and selectively applied closures of polling stations or inadequately staffed polling stations causing voter suppression.

Police Arrest Georgia Poll Worker Over Alleged Bomb Threat Against Election Officials.  Police arrested a Georgia poll worker Monday for allegedly mailing a bomb threat letter to election officials after a verbal dispute with a voter on Oct. 16.  Nicolas Wimbish attempted to frame the voter by using identifying information and signing the letter as a purported "Jones County Voter," according to a press release from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), citing a criminal complaint.  The 25-year-old suspect from Milledgeville then allegedly sent the bomb threat to the Jones County Elections Superintendent on Oct. 17.

Milwaukee to Recount 30,000 Absentee Ballots Due to Tabulator Issue, 'Could Take Hours'.  Milwaukee will recount 30,000 absentee ballots due to a tabulator issue.  According to reports, it could take hours to recount the ballots.  "The city of Milwaukee is going to recount about 30,000 absentee ballots that had already been counted," a CBS 58 Milwaukee reporter said.  "There was an issue with one tabulator not being sealed.  Out of precaution, the city will recount each ballot.  A long night just got longer," the CBS reporter said.

Google Only Provides Vote Location Info For Those Wanting to Vote For Kamala Harris.  Voters for Democrat candidate Kamala Harris are aided by tech giant Google when they ask where to vote, but typing in the same query for President Donald J. Trump yields no help from the company.  Typing in the phrase "where to vote for Harris" shows a "where to vote" search box for voters to find their nearest polling station, along with an overview, polling data, and other topics connected to the 2024 presidential race.  However, when the phrase "where to vote for Trump" is input into Google, the search engine does not provide the same service.  Instead, the top results are news articles followed by the official website of the Trump campaign, which has its own page showing voting locations.

Republican Poll Watchers Blocked From Duty In Multiple Pennsylvania Counties.  The Republican National Committee (RNC) reported in a statement that four court-appointed Republican poll watchers were either blocked from entering or kicked out of several Philadelphia polling places Tuesday morning.  Republican poll observers were also turned away from York, Westmoreland, Allegheny, Lehigh, Cambria, Wyoming, and Lackawanna counties, RNC Chairman Michael Whatley reported on social media.  [Advertisement]  [Tweet]  "We deployed our roving attorneys, engaged with local officials, and can now report that all Republican poll watchers have been let into the building," Whatley said.  In Philadelphia, RNC attorneys connected with Democrat District Attorney Larry Krasner, and officials were contacted in the other counties, an RNC official said on background.  "There is a history of this happening in Philadelphia, specifically because it's such a Democrat area," the RNC official said.

North Carolina Passes Citizens-Only Voting Amendment.  North Carolina voters are projected to have passed a constitutional amendment specifying that only U.S. citizens can vote in elections.  As of this article's publication, preliminary results show the amendment with more than 75 percent of support from voters.  The New York Times projected the proposal's passage.  As The Federalist previously reported, the amendment stipulates that "only a citizen of the United States" who is 18 years old and meets existing voter eligibility requirements may vote in elections held in the Tar Heel State.  The measure was sent to voters for approval after it was passed by the state's Republican-controlled House (99-12) and Senate (40-4) earlier this year.  Other states to have similar initiatives on their respective 2024 ballots include Wisconsin, Iowa, Kentucky, South Carolina, and Idaho.

Wisconsin Dem Party Chair Says Expect to See a "Red Mirage" Then a 'Blue Shift' in the Dead of Night Like in 2020.  Wisconsin Democrat Party Chair Ben Wikler boldly hinted at a familiar playbook for Election Night:  the "Red Mirage" followed by a so-called sudden "Blue Shift" in the dead of night.  Wikler's comments came as he outlined the Democrats' electoral strategy in Wisconsin, signaling to expect a familiar pattern where Republicans initially lead, only for Democrats to take the lead overnight — a sequence eerily similar to the 2020 election cycle, where suspicious late-night ballot surges in key battleground states catapulted Joe Biden ahead of President Trump.

B.C. election officials failed to count 861 ballots after Dominion tabulator issue.  A judicial recount has been approved for British Columbia's Prince George-Mackenzie riding after hundreds of ballots were neglected to be counted on election night.  In response, Conservative Leader John Rustad has called for an independent review to ensure fairness and accuracy in future elections.

Denver Judge Denies Hand-Count Of Ballots Following Massive Leak Of Voting System Passwords.  Colorado state District Judge Kandace Gerdes ruled Tuesday against a lawsuit launched by the Libertarian Party to force a hand-count of ballots in over half of the state's counties.  Gerdes decided that there was no evidence that election processes had been undermined after Democrat Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold's office posted election systems passwords on their website, according to The Denver Post.  The judge noted that she did not have the authority to settle parts of the ruling and left room for appeal.  Griswold's office admitted that BIOS passwords connected to election systems in Colorado counties were publicly accessible on the SOS website from June 21 to late October, according to Fox 31.  The Department of State said on Oct. 25 the posted passwords exposed systems in 34 out of 64 counties.  The employee who posted the passwords left "amicably" before the security breach was uncovered, the department said.  Gerdes argued that the plaintiffs did not prove that the passwords were put up knowingly on the Secretary of State's website, The Denver Post reported.  Under Colorado law, knowingly publishing election passwords is a class 5 felony.

A New Video Released By Police Shows A Man Planting A Bomb In A Washington State Ballot Box.  A newly released video shows a man planting a 'bomb' at a Vancouver, Washington ballot box, burning hundreds of ballots.  A video captures a car arriving at a ballot box in Vancouver on October 28.  After 30 seconds, the driver leaves, and smoke begins to pour from the box, followed by a large explosion.  [Video clip]

Shady Election Groups Dump 90,000 Ballot Registrations in Maricopa County Before Sign-Up Deadline Ends.  In case you have not been paying attention — leftist groups around the country have been caught corrupting our elections by dumping tens of thousands of bogus ballot registrations into our voter rolls.  This is taking place in state after state.

Biden-Harris, Leftist Lawfare Warriors Are Blocking Efforts To Keep Noncitizens From Voting.  The Biden-Harris administration has been anything but cooperative in helping state election officials track noncitizens on voter rolls.  Perhaps that has something to do with the real Big Lie that the federal "honor system" stops foreign nationals from registering to vote and casting ballots.  As of this weekend, Iowa's senators Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst seemed to be getting nowhere with United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).  The Republicans are demanding the agency immediately respond to Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate's request for assistance to track the citizenship status of nearly 2,200 registered Iowa voters "who self-identified as non-citizens."  "Anything short of the information Secretary Pate requested is unacceptable.  Iowa has worked in good faith to secure its electoral process and safeguard Americans' cherished right to vote.  Unfortunately, USCIS' stonewalling has led to more questions than answers," Grassley and Ernst wrote in a joint statement issued Saturday.

Republican Georgia State Senator Who Descended on Fulton County to Monitor Ballot Counting Says It's Worse Than Previously Reported.  As reported earlier, the RNC filed a lawsuit on Saturday after four Georgia counties extended their election office hours and decided to accept absentee ballots over the weekend in violation of state law.  Fulton, Cobb, DeKalb and Gwinnett counties initially refused to allow Republican poll watchers in to observe the process, according to the Republican National Committee.  "This is a blatant violation of Georgia law ... which states 'all drop boxes shall be closed when the advance voting period ends,'" the Georgia Republican Party said in a statement on Friday.  "To make matters worse, the four election office locations are situated in areas of the county that will clearly favor Democrat candidates."  Fulton County did not inform the Secretary of State's office they would be counting ballots all weekend.

Complaint Alleges As Many As 500 Ballots Were Dumped In A Milwaukee Drop Box.  Just a few days before the election, leftist-led Milwaukee is at the epicenter of another potential ballot scandal.  The Conservative Political Action Conference has filed a complaint with the Wisconsin Elections Commission after receiving reports that an "unknown individual" shoved a "significant number of absentee ballots" into a Milwaukee absentee ballot drop box "before fleeing the scene."  CPAC filed the complaint with WEC and local police, alleging illegal ballot harvesting and possible "fraud or corruption in the voting process."  Ballot harvesting is illegal in Wisconsin.  According to the complaint, obtained by Just the News, a witness reported that he observed an unknown individual stuff as many as 500 ballots into the unguarded drop box and flee after realizing he was being photographed.  The witness attached four photographs of the suspect engaging in the alleged unlawful activity, but the photos are redacted in the complaint.

The Case of the Disappearing Ballots.  In October 2020, thousands of mail-in ballots were allegedly transported across state lines from Bethpage N.Y. to PA.  Evidence shows that ballots were loaded on to a truck driven by USPS subcontractor Jesse Morgan.  Morgan delivered them to Lancaster, PA and the ballots allegedly disappeared.  Morgan has publicly spoken about what he witnessed and has also provided a signed affidavit about the incident.  In December 2020, Morgan testified that 24 Gaylord containers (allegedly with as many as 288,000 signed ballots) disappeared with his trailer on Oct. 21, 2024.  According to reporting from Larry C. Johnson, "a Gaylord can hold from 50,000 to 100,000 ballots."  It is important to note that Pennsylvania certified its 2020 election knowing it had indisputably "recorded 202,000 more ballots cast than voters."  In December 2020 Morgan spoke about the incident during a press conference held by the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society.  Who filled out those ballots and why did they disappear?

Is This The Biggest Suppression Poll in History?  The latest Des Moines Register/Mediacom poll [was published recently], and it claims that Kamala Harris has a three-point lead in Iowa. "Kamala Harris now leads Donald Trump in Iowa — a startling reversal for Democrats and Republicans who have all but written off the state's presidential contest as a certain Trump victory," the Des Moines Register reports.  "A new Des Moines Register/Mediacom Iowa Poll shows Vice President Harris leading former President Trump 47% to 44% among likely voters just days before a high-stakes election that appears deadlocked in key battleground states." [...] It's worth noting that an Emerson College poll out of Iowa was released on Saturday as well, and it had Trump ahead nine points.  Trump has led in every poll out of Iowa against either Joe Biden or Kamala Harris.  Yet, this poll is making a huge splash.  Why?

There's Something Incredibly Fishy About the Latest 'Bombshell' Iowa Poll.  Grab a drink and enjoy a good laugh because no one should be fooled by this poll — no one.  It's one of the grossest attempts at suppression polling as we approach D-Day for the 2024 election. [...] No, Ann.  We don't believe it because it's so blatantly false.  Trump was leading Biden by 18 points.  There's no way a seismic shift like this happened overnight.  We would have seen the ramp-up, if any, over the summer.

Fluff, Stuff and Fraud in Oregon.  Last week, a reader responded to my Newsletter regarding House Bill 4133.  I had noted the fact that after receiving Gov. Kotek's signature, anybody could register to vote in Oregon by simply supplying the final-four digits of their social security number. [...] This register-to-vote form is quite subtle; it pretends to focus on one area with a simple example but leaves the other avenue wide open.  With regard to US citizenship there is no definitive proof required.  A simple receipt from a government office or utility provider allows a person to register to vote in Oregon.  Is this the election system that demands our confidence?  Or, is this an "election integrity" farce brought to you by the ruling majority?  None of the so-called, "acceptable identification" documents have any relevance to proving that you are who you claim to be.  These documents might (or might not) describe where you may have lived or whether you may have had a job but little else.

Bangor Warns of Illegal Ballot Harvesting.  Bangor city officials warned residents on Tuesday that at least one person has been engaged in illegal ballot harvesting, going door-to-door asking people for their absentee ballots.  "As a voter, you need to protect your own ballot, and when you receive that from us make sure you are bringing that back in a manner that is acceptable," said Bangor City Clerk Lisa Goodwin speaking to News Center Maine.  Only the recipient of the ballot, a family member, or a previously designated third party is allowed to deliver absentee ballots to a drop box or the city clerk's office.  Bangor warned that anyone giving their ballot to an illegal ballot harvester risks having their ballots destroyed by the harvester or simply never delivered.

Kentucky Official Addresses Voting Machine that Refused to Let a Voter Select Trump.  Laurel, Kentucky Town Clerk, Tony Brown, addressed a viral video showing a voting machine refusing to let a voter select former President Trump and selecting Vice President Harris instead.  X user "it's me" posted a video appearing to show her trying to select President Trump's name on a Kentucky voting machine, while the machine refuses to select Trump and, at one point, selects Vice President Harris instead.  "I took this video, it was my vote.  I tried to pick Trump 10 times, it would not work, so I began recoding and kept trying.  I went to the head of the election board and will send this video to KY attorney General," said the X user.  [Tweet with video clip]

Pennsylvania Voter Rolls Infested With Active Voters Living in Anomalous Addresses and Voters with Birth Dates Under the Voting Age.  The StopBogusBallots.com team has begun posting videos about the wildly anomalous voter rolls in the swing states.  Voters by the thousands, tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands living in anomalous addresses like hotels, casinos and parking lots — now being made visible with Fractal quantum-speed technology.  In this video, the Fractal team performed an analysis of the current Pennsylvania voter roll — with over 8 million voters.  [Video clip]  Those voters were then sorted real-time, at quantum speed, showing an alleged 3,000 voters under the age of 9.  A parallel analysis of the voter registration dates showed these voters registered as early as 1952.  Many of the voters were shown, in the official State of Pennsylvania voter roll to be born in the future — as far into the future as November 27, 2024 — on a voter roll dated October 24, 2024.

The Pentagon Fails to Send Absentee Ballots to Active Military Service Members.  Republican lawmakers demand answers from the Pentagon after military service members complained that they have not received enough absentee ballots to vote before Election Day.  GOP Reps.  Brian Mast (R-FL), Bill Huizenga (R-MI), and Mike Waltz (R-FL) sent a letter to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin citing their "grave concern over deficiencies in the Defense Department's protocols" for the U.S. military because they said the absentee ballot stockpile has been "depleted and had not been replenished."

Actually, The Democratic Party is Hitler.  You can be sure they've gamed-out a playbook aimed at paralyzing the nation one way or another if the effort to install Kamala Harris in the White House face-plants, as it appears to be doing in these final days before the reckoning.  Rioting, arson, and looting in the cities?  Not so much. [...] More likely, the Party will hijack the nation's legal machinery to cancel the election ex post facto.  They've done a swell job in advance setting up conditions that make it difficult if not impossible to sort out legal ballots cast from the frauds.  So, expect the Party's chief lawfare ninja Marc Elias, and his zillion-dollar-funded cadre of pettifoggers, to contest the swing-state precincts where their ballot-harvest somehow fell short a few bushels.  They'll file enough lawsuits to gum up the courts until the sun becomes a red dwarf.  If the actual numbers add up to a Trump victory, the Democrats will re-brand that as the new "Big Lie" and commence a strenuous campaign in the old media to gaslight the public into believing the vote-count isn't what it looks like.

Voter confidence rattled after voting machines malfunction across Illinois.  Voter confidence has been shaken with voting machines malfunctioning in several Illinois jurisdictions.  In McLean County, 34 ballots were placed in what the County Clerk Kathy Michael called "an emergency bin," which is located underneath the voting machine used to tabulate ballots.  At the Eastland Mall, an early voting location, the machine "glitched" for 30 minutes.  Affected voter Wayne Henrichs called the clerk's office after putting his ballot in the bin and was connected with an assistant county clerk.  "She indicated that they [the ballots in the emergency bin] are considered mail in ballots and they will be counted on election day rather than being counted early," said Henrichs.

Pennsylvania Supreme Court Affirms Ballots Must Be Returned with Accurate Dates or They Cannot be Counted.  Major win for Pennsylvania Republicans and election integrity groups.  A few days ago, 3 Democrat judges on the Pennsylvania appellate court (3-2 decision) struck down a date and accuracy requirement for mail in ballots to be received.  Today, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court just stayed that ruling and put the date requirement back into effect.  This makes it harder for Democrats to cheat.

Harris Campaign Recruits Foreign Volunteers, Tells Noncitizens How To Skirt Donation Rules.  In the previous installments of this investigation into how the Harris-Walz presidential campaign is dishonestly manipulating online platforms, I noted the existence of a Discord server where campaign employees coordinate with a volunteer army to flood social media sites with campaign propaganda.  The volunteers also vote en masse on social media to artificially boost Harris-Walz content or downvote content that is harmful to their campaign.  Not only is this deceptive and misleading to voters, it's a clear violation of these websites' Terms of Service.  In part one and part two of the investigation, I noted this strategy had been successful at manipulating both Reddit and X.  Over the past month, one out of every eight of the top stories in the eight-million-member Politics subreddit was planted by the campaign.  On X, the campaign appears to have successfully voted down Community Notes accurately calling out the Harris campaign for tweeting out brazen lies.

Jena Griswold "breaks" 2024 election in Colorado:  Results will be 100% non-certifiable, warns Patrick Byrne.  There has been "a leak of passwords in Colorado" that will render the 2024 election, at least in that state, "completely meaningless."  Constitutional advocate Patrick Byrne (@PatrickByrne) shared the following video on X / Twitter showing how the Colorado BIOS Scandal, as they are calling it, nullifies the 2024 election entirely.  George Soros plant Jena Griswold, Colorado's secretary of state, revealed that "partial passwords for the voting system components were mistakenly posted on an official website in a spreadsheet."  Newsweek is credited with breaking the news about how Colorado "accidentally" published its voting system passwords in a "major error" that "as a member of the public, if you unhid some columns, these passwords became available."

Apparently There's Evidence of Ballot Harvesting in This Swing State.  The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) is ramping up concerns over possible cases of ballot harvesting in Wisconsin, one of the most critical swing states that could decide the outcome of the 2024 election.  CPAC Chairman Matt Schlapp filed a complaint with the Wisconsin Elections Commission, citing evidence of ballot harvesting being committed in plain sight.  Schlapp claimed he had photogenic evidence and an eye witness who saw alleged ballot-stuffing outside Milwaukee City Hall.  The complaint states that the witness saw an individual stuffing at least 500 ballots into an unguarded ballot box and then took off once the individual realized they were being watched.  "As part of CPAC's efforts to ensure elections are free and fair, CPAC has filed a complaint with the Wisconsin Election Commission ("WEC") and reported to local law enforcement allegations of potential efforts to commit fraud or corruption in the voting process by an unknown individual," Schlapp said in a statement.  "CPAC received reports of illicit ballot harvesting at the dropbox location outside Milwaukee City Hall.  A witness reported an individual depositing a significant number of absentee ballots into the dropbox before fleeing the scene.  Ballot Harvesting is illegal under Wisconsin Law."

About Those Fraudulent Voter Registrations in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.  During a press conference on the matter, officials disclosed that a large batch of suspicious registration applications had been dropped off at the county elections office shortly before the October 21 deadline for them to be received.  After looking into the matter, officials determined that many of the registrations contained incorrect addresses, false identification information, false names, and names that did not match Social Security information.  Without identifying them, officials indicated they believed one or two organizations were behind the fraudulent registrations and vowed to continue investigating, noting that at least two other counties may have encountered similar issues.  We're now learning more about who may have been behind the improper registrations.  Per the latest reports, the investigation has expanded, and one particular group, Field+Media Corps, based in Arizona, was thought to have some involvement[.]

Pennsylvania Is Openly Suppressing Republican Votes By Understaffing Polls In Conservative Areas.  Voters are waiting 6 hours in line to vote in Levittown, PA, a Republican stronghold, because of apparent staffing issues.  Voters who were interviewed say they can't come back on Tuesday due to work.  The development comes after early voting was extended until today at 5 PM.  Scott Presler is also reporting issues in Quakertown where Trump supporters are being forced to wait hours to vote.  "Bucks County elections officials did the bare minimum to comply with court's order to provide voting access through 5 PM today," Trump campaign's James Blair said.  "They staffed some offices with just 1 or 2 people ensuring long lines."  [Video clip]

Michigan sheriff announces criminal investigation into 2020 election crimes, Dominion Voting Systems.  Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf has just announced in a press release that his office has referred a case regarding election-related crimes to the Texas Attorney General's Office.  He stated: "The Texas Attorney General has opened a criminal investigation related to Dominion Voting Systems, Election Systems & Software (ES&S).  Hart InterCivic, and SolarWinds including specific subcontractors, agents, and employees."  According to the press release, the sheriff's office will release more information when it can do so without compromising the investigation.  However, he has posted on X in the past that he was looking into "conspiracy crimes, wire services fraud, honest services fraud, and perjury charges" related to Dominion CEO John Polous' "sworn testimony before the Michigan Legislature that its voting systems could not be accessed or connected to by outside networks and sources, and that it was a 'US based company.'"

About Those Fraudulent Voter Registrations in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.  A week ago, we brought you the story of some election integrity concerns out of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, after local election officials there revealed they had become aware of roughly 2,500 voter registration applications that may have been fraudulent.  During a press conference on the matter, officials disclosed that a large batch of suspicious registration applications had been dropped off at the county elections office shortly before the October 21 deadline for them to be received.  After looking into the matter, officials determined that many of the registrations contained incorrect addresses, false identification information, false names, and names that did not match Social Security information.  Without identifying them, officials indicated they believed one or two organizations were behind the fraudulent registrations and vowed to continue investigating, noting that at least two other counties may have encountered similar issues.  We're now learning more about who may have been behind the improper registrations.

Report: Migrants Voting Would Allow Democrats to Win 12 Extra States.  The non-citizen population in the United States has grown so fast that it could swing 12 states toward the Democrats' presidential candidate if the foreigners were allowed to vote, says the non-partisan Center for Immigration Studies.  "Census Bureau data collected earlier this year indicates that there are 23.2 million voting-age non-citizens in the country, roughly half of whom are illegal immigrants," said the report by the group's research chief, Steven Camarota[.] [...] Migration advocates and Democrats argue that very few migrants cast votes in presidential elections.  But GOP critics say that Democrat activists routinely register foreigners so that their ballots can be filled out and illegally returned by the activists.

After Voter Finds Fraudulent Ballot Cast In His Name, New York Tells Him It Will Count Anyway.  "I'm sorry sir, but you already voted."  "No I didn't," 55-year-old Mike Miner told a Wappingers Falls election worker on Sunday — yet that's not what election records showed.  Miner told The Federalist that he decided to vote early, just one day after early voting began on Saturday.  "I went up to the table and was told I already voted," Miner said.  "I ask, 'Where did I vote?'  Because, of course, this is very surprising to me.  And they told me I voted in the town of Fishkill [which is located next to Wappingers], 22 minutes after early voting began on Saturday."  Miner was given an affidavit ballot, which is a provisional ballot that is secured inside an affidavit envelope.  A bipartisan team at the Dutchess County Board of Elections investigated the situation and determined that since the signature provided Saturday did not match Miner's actual signature, Miner's affidavit ballot will count — but so will the fraudulent vote cast Saturday in Miner's name.  That's because once a ballot is cast, the vote itself becomes anonymous, making it impossible to identify the fraudulent vote and remove it from the bunch.

Always Double-Check Your Ballot:  Kentucky Voting Machine Showed Trump Vote As Vote For Harris.  "I tried to pick Trump 10 times, it would not work."  That's part of the caption for a now-viral video on X showing a voter trying to cast a vote for former President Donald Trump.  After several attempts, the video shows, the electronic voting machine captured a vote — but it was for Vice President Kamala Harris.  Although officials have looked into the issue, such glitches are a reminder to voters to always double (if not triple) check ballots when casting votes.  [Tweet with video clip]  The user, whose screen name is "it's me," said in the post that the incident took place in Kentucky.  She claimed she "went to the head of the election board and will send this video to KY attorney general."  Kentucky Attorney General Michael Adams said in a post on X responding to a report on the incident that "there is no 'vote-switching'.  The voter confirmed that her ballot was correctly printed as marked for the candidate of her choice.  Get your voting information from legitimate sources, not TikTok or cat turds."  Laurel County Clerk Tony Brown later confirmed in a post on Facebook that when the state's Attorney General's office came to "check the device," the incident eventually occurred again.

Far-Left Trans Activist's Shady Voting Group Caught In Swing State Voter Suppression Texting Scheme.  A shady voting group represented by a far-left trans activist got caught this week texting thousands of swing state voters, suggesting they had already cast ballots in this year's election in a classic case of voter suppression.  This week alone, thousands of voters in the crucial swing state of Pennsylvania received text messages from a group called "AllVote" reading, "Records show you voted," along with a hyperlink to more voting information, reports say.  Charlotte Clymer, a male who claims to be a female and the reported spokesman for AllVote, told CNN that over the weekend, "several thousand registered voters were affected by our error."  According to the group, "the messages contained errors and should have told voters they had cast their ballots in 2022," but the "in 2022" was somehow left out of the message, CNN reported.  A follow-up message was sent out, but may not have been received by those who had already unsubscribed from the messages or marked them as spam, reports say.

'Free Gaza' message linked to ballot box attacks in Washington and Oregon: source.  Ballot boxes in Oregon and Washington may have been set on fire by an anti-Israel protester, as investigators found a note that said "ALL DROP BOXES WILL BURN. FREE GAZA," The [New York] Post has learned.  Between 3 and 4 a.m. on Monday, fires caused by incendiary devices were discovered in ballot boxes in Vancouver, Wash. and neighboring Portland, Oregon.  A built-in fire suppressant stopped most of the flames at the Portland location, but hundreds of ballots were destroyed at the drop box at Fisher's Landing Transit Center in Vancouver.  The FBI is now heading the investigation into the two Monday fires, which are believed to be linked and also connected to a third attempted arson attack earlier in the month in Vancouver.

Judge Orders Arizona's Democrat Secretary of State to Release List of 218,000 Registered Voters Who Did Not Provide Proof of Citizenship.  America First Legal won big today in a lawsuit against Arizona's Democrat Secretary of State Adrian Fontes.  The Superior Court of Arizona ordered Secretary Fontes to release the list of up to 218,000 registered voters who did not provide proof of citizenship as required by law.  Secretary Fontes must release the list by Monday.  Fontes previously claimed a computer glitch allowed more than 200,000 people in Arizona to register without proof of citizenship so America First Legal sued him on behalf of Strong Communities Foundation of Arizona, known as "EZAZ.org."

PA Democratic Party Illegally Suppressing the Vote.  Yesterday, a Pennsylvania judge ordered Bucks County, Pennsylvania to keep early voting open for three extra days because the County violated the law by turning away voters hours before the polls closed.  Police and Democrats were harassing voters, violating their rights, and Democrats were impersonating election officials to intimidate voters.  This was an allegation; it is now established fact.  This is not a mistake, or election officials not knowing the law.  This was voter suppression of the sort that is clear and unambiguous.  The Democrats are convinced that they cannot win the election through legal means, and have shifted strategies to using illegal means.  At one polling location they quit serving voters before noon, despite 5 p.m. being the closing time set by the state.

The DOJ Must Now Charge Jimmy Kimmel With Election Interference.  Late-night talk show host and self-proclaimed comedian Jimmy Kimmel urged Trump supporters to vote late, an act that previously saw a social media influencer charged with election interference.  The Department of Justice must immediately act upon this blatant criminal behavior.  Kimmel, whose comedy has all the freshness of a bottle of Centrum Silver, used a 20-minute opening monologue to disparage former President Donald Trump and his supporters.  The crux of his diatribe — Republicans should not vote for Trump.  Unfortunately, his on-camera descent into madness culminated with a very specific criminal act.  It was documented for everyone to see.  On tape, archived forever.  "If you want to vote for Trump, vote late.  Vote very late," he told a mindless audience.  "Do your voting on Thursday or maybe Friday."

The Editor says...
Remember, the Democrats want to criminalize "disinformation."  But apparently not if it comes from late-night TV "comedians."

Kentucky Voting Machines Are Refusing Voters To Choose Trump, Instead Chooses Kamala.  Kentucky voting machines are refusing to let voters select Donald Trump's name, automatically selecting Kamala Harris instead.  [Video clip]

Nothing to See Here:  Voting System Passwords Exposed on Colorado SOS Website.  Partial passwords for Colorado election machines were accidentally revealed on the secretary of state's website and have been available since late August, according to an affidavit accompanying a letter the Republican vice chair, Hope Scheppelman, sent to Jena Griswold, secretary of state.  "The Colorado Department of State is aware that a spreadsheet located on the Department's website improperly included a hidden tab including partial passwords to certain components of Colorado voting systems.  This does not pose an immediate security threat to Colorado's elections, nor will it impact how ballots are counted," a statement from the Secretary of State's Office read.  So no "immediate security threat."  How about later?  As we've seen in recent years, access to top aide's email accounts can lead to all kinds of hacking nightmares.  Trump advisor Roger Stone's email account was hacked, which led to the exposure of campaign vetting documents for eventual vice presidential nominee JD Vance.

Election Integrity Data Analysts Claim They Have Proof of 208,075 Ballots Cast By 82,674 Voters.  In September 2024, we reported that data expert Tim Vetter as well as Phani Mantravadi of Check My Vote identified 6,126 duplicate votes on the August primary voter rolls.  Later, 6,017 of the duplicate votes curiously disappeared from the voter rolls after our reporting, while 109 duplicate votes remained in the October vote history.  "Our Secretary of State has a record of scrubbing the voter rolls after the media and election integrity groups bring it to their attention."

EXPERTS Discuss the Massive Double-Voting Scandal in Michigan.  On Wednesday, The Gateway Pundit's Patty McMurray published a shocking report from Michigan.  Election integrity analysts claim they have proof of 208,075 ballot cases by 82,674 voters.  This comes out to 125,428 extra votes that were cast and counted in Michigan.  This follows an incident in September 2024 in Michigan, when we reported that data expert Tim Vetter, along with Phani Mantravadi of Check My Vote, identified 6,126 duplicate votes on the August primary voter rolls.  Later, 6,017 of these duplicate votes curiously disappeared from the voter rolls after our reporting, while 109 duplicate votes remained in the October vote history.

Pennsylvania GOP Wins Huge Victory That Halts Democrat Interference With Early Voting.  The Donald Trump Campaign and the Pennsylvania GOP won a huge victory today in their efforts to force the Bucks County, Pennsylvania, government to permit voters to request mail-in ballots in person.  The campaign filed a lawsuit on Wednesday, documenting how county officials broke state law and turned away voters hours before the deadline.  This was after video surfaced of a police officer and skeevy individuals, some later identified as local Democrat activists, wearing "Voter Protection" badges but with no visible identification credentials shutting down the line at 1:45 p.m. when the law required the line to stay open to 4:30 p.m.  [Tweet]

Police say the man behind ballot box fires has metalworking experience and might plan more attacks.  The man suspected of setting fires in ballot drop boxes in Oregon and Washington state is an experienced metalworker and may be planning additional attacks, authorities said Wednesday.  Investigators believe the man who set the incendiary devices at ballot boxes in Portland, Oregon, and nearby Vancouver, Washington, had a "wealth of experience" in metal fabrication and welding, said Portland Police Bureau spokesperson Mike Benner.  The way the devices were constructed and the way they were attached to the metal drop boxes showed that expertise, Benner said.

Supreme Court Allows Virginia to Remove Noncitizens from Voter Rolls before Election.  The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that Virginia is entitled to remove noncitizen aliens from its voter rolls, siding with the commonwealth over lower courts less than a week out from the election.  The order comes two days after Virginia attorney general Jason Miyares filed an emergency application, requesting that the Court stay an injunction that ordered Virginia to restore some 1,600 suspected noncitizens who are ineligible to vote to the state's voter rolls.  A federal appeals court upheld the injunction on Sunday, quickly prompting the attorney general to appeal to the Supreme Court.  The Court released the one-page order Wednesday morning, noting that liberal-leaning Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson would have denied Virginia's emergency request for an appeal.  The Department of Justice sued Virginia earlier this month, targeting an executive order signed by Governor Glenn Youngkin that formalized a program to remove noncitizens from the state's voter-registration lists.

Jocelyn Benson Is Really Concerned About Dominion Voter Machine Issues.  Dominion voting machines are having problems.  Shocker!  I'm shocked!  Voters using a VAT must either vote straight-ticket or manually split their ballot.  Typically, Michigan voters can select the straight party option and then override their party selection in certain races.  "This is a nationwide issue with Dominion Voter Access Terminals in the counties that use them," Benson said at a Monday news conference in Detroit.  "Of course, not all the machines, just the ones that are accessible, have an issue.  With the straight-party voting and a programming issue, that's again affected the machines nationwide."  It's a nationwide issue.  Jocelyn is far left, and the Right doesn't trust her.  She doesn't seem all that concerned, but that's conjecture.

Dominion Keeps Popping Up In All the Wrong Places, Including Passwords Made Public.  America runs the MOST SECURE ELECTIONS in the world.  At least I keep being told that, despite all evidence to the contrary.  We have the least auditable elections in the Western world, and any time a Republican wants to see evidence that would confirm or deny election irregularities, we get blocked by rabid liberal lawyers and judges.  We don't know how much voter fraud takes place because there are few ways to root out the evidence.  The system is designed that way.  Fake election officials have been turning voters away in key battleground areas; ballots have been sent to people ineligible to vote, and the Justice Department keeps suing states to stop voter integrity measures such as removing noncitizens from the voting rolls.  [Tweet with video clip]  It's almost like they are setting things up for a disputed election result, intentionally.  Here in Minnesota, a van full of unmarked ballots was left open and unattended, warming the hearts of all who want to ensure that our election is free and fair.  [Tweet with video clip]

Noncitizen ID Can Be Used To Vote, Says Proposed Wisconsin Election Commission Guidance.  Prompted by Rep. Bryan Steil to act, the feckless Wisconsin Elections Commission will meet on Friday to issue guidance clarifying the use of noncitizen IDs at the polls.  Steil, chairman of the House Administration Committee, which oversees federal election law, sent a letter late last week demanding WEC clarify whether swing state Wisconsin's Limited Term and Non-Domiciled driver's licenses and ID cards may be used as proof of residency to register to vote.  Spoiler Alert:  The temporary visitor IDs generally issued to noncitizens can be used to vote, according to proposed guidance from members of the Elections Commission.  So anybody could potentially claim to be a U.S. citizen and vote with the ID, with only their word as proof, Elections Commissioner Bob Spindell explained to The Federalist.  Wisconsin law, according to the WEC memo, "mandates that these identifications must be accepted as a proper form of voter identification."  "However, possessing a valid identification does not necessarily mean the holder of the identification is eligible to vote," the memo states.

SCOTUS Allows Virginia to Remove Self-Identified Noncitizens from Voter Rolls Ahead of Election.  The United States Supreme Court ruled Wednesday morning that the State of Virginia may remove self-identified noncitizens from its voter rolls ahead of Tuesday's election.  The 6-3 decision was issued by the justices without any explanation of their reasoning, as is common with these types of orders.  Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented from the majority, indicating that they would have denied Virginia's request, without any further elaboration on their position as well.  A federal judge had previously ruled that the state would need to put about 1,600 suspected noncitizens back on the rolls ahead of the upcoming election.

Harris Campaign Recruits Foreign Volunteers, Tells Noncitizens How To Skirt Donation Rules.  In the previous installments of this investigation into how the Harris-Walz presidential campaign is dishonestly manipulating online platforms, I noted the existence of a Discord server where campaign employees coordinate with a volunteer army to flood social media sites with campaign propaganda.  The volunteers also vote en masse on social media to artificially boost Harris-Walz content or downvote content that is harmful to their campaign.  Not only is this deceptive and misleading to voters, it's a clear violation of these websites' Terms of Service.  In part one and part two of the investigation, I noted this strategy had been successful at manipulating both Reddit and X.  Over the past month, one out of every eight of the top stories in the eight-million-member Politics subreddit was planted by the campaign.  On X, the campaign appears to have successfully voted down Community Notes accurately calling out the Harris campaign for tweeting out brazen lies.  But one activity I found on the Discord server was particularly concerning.

A Noncitizen Cast An Illegal Vote In Michigan — And Officials Are Counting It.  A Chinese college student who is not a U.S. citizen cast an illegal vote on Sunday — and Michigan election officials will still count the vote.  The 19-year-old — who is legally present in the country studying at the University of Michigan but not a citizen — registered to vote on Sunday, having "signed a document identifying himself as a U.S. citizen," according to The Detroit News.  The student then cast a ballot which "was entered into the tabulator."  Ann Arbor City Administrator Milton Dohoney Jr. said in an email to council members that "based upon the scenario that we're hearing this morning, the student was fully aware of what he was doing, and that it was not legal," according to The Detroit News.  The student has been charged with "Unauthorized Elector Attempting To Vote" and "Perjury — Making a False Affidavit for Purpose of Securing Voter Registration," according to Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson.  While noncitizen voting is illegal, the student's vote will ultimately still count.  That's because ballots are secret, meaning names aren't attached to the ballot itself.  Once a vote is cast and run through a tabulator, it is impossible to identify who cast the ballot.

Four Pennsylvania Counties Investigate Suspected Large Vote-Harvesting Operation.  At least four Pennsylvania county election offices — Lancaster, York, Monroe, and Cambria — are setting aside suspicious and possibly fraudulent voter registration and mail-in ballot requests.  When Lancaster County Commissioners announced Friday they had received a load of potentially fraudulent voter registration requests, they mentioned two other counties had similar, ongoing investigations.  Instead of naming them, Lancaster officials said they would let individual counties identify themselves.  In Lancaster, officials say, some 2,500 voter registration requests arrived last week in two large batches.  Election workers noticed some had the same handwriting, many shared the same date, and some had other anomalies, officials said.  The county investigated and found 60 percent were confirmed as "fraudulent," according to Lancaster County District Attorney Heather Adams.  She said Lancaster County officials suspect the fraudulent applications are part of a "large-scale" operation that has been underway since June.  It is not yet known who was behind the large batches of voting requests, officials said.

Who Is the Real Threat to Our Elections?  [Scroll down]  Having covered many election-related stories, I have met countless everyday citizens who are more often than not data-driven and abiding by the law when examining how their local elections are conducted.  However, they too often find themselves navigating what should not be the rough waters of holding election officials accountable.  Moreover, they often wind up as defendants in costly lawsuits for trying to do the right thing.  The people I have interviewed are not a "threat to our democracy."  On the contrary, they are earnestly attempting to restore trust in our elections by reporting inaccurate voter registrations, testifying about unlawful election-related chain of custody issues, or merely holding politicians and officials accountable, to abide by the law.  They monitor drop boxes to ensure that ballots are not trafficked.  They attend election board meetings to exercise their right to participate in the process of ensuring that everyone's vote is counted as it is cast.  These are people who spend precious time away from their families, volunteering, with little or no recognition for their efforts, only to be deemed existential threats to Democracy.

Does Georgia's Algorithm-Assisted Massive Documented Election Fraud Rise to the Level of a Treasonous Coup d'État?  We now have proof that the Georgia State Board of Elections (SBOE) creates illegal cloned voter IDs in the thousands, capable of being activated to create certifiable voters in an election fraud scheme consistent with embedding cryptographic codes in SBOE voter registration databases.  As reported on our website, GodsFiveStones.com, Andrew Paquette, Ph.D., discovered these algorithms in New York, Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Arizona and will report on New Jersey, Texas, and Hawaii.  A group known as theGANerds_Real on "X" ("The Georgia Nerds"), headed by Kim P. Brooks, has published a series of podcasts on Rumble documenting how the Georgia SBOE has been creating and voting illegally cloned records.  Because the Georgia SBOE gives the illegitimate clone voters legitimate Georgia SBOE ID numbers, the cloned votes are certifiable.  Clone voter records duplicate voter records with different SBOE voter IDs copied from an authentic original voter ID. The original voter IDs come from a combination of deceased voters, voters who have moved from the state, voters who have been "inactive" (i.e., not voting for several years), and felons.

Man Is Told He Is Not Allowed To Vote While Wearing A MAGA Hat.  This video is going viral on social media showing a man with a MAGA hat being told he is not allowed to vote wearing political attire in Orangeburg, SC.  The man tosses his hat off while arguing and then seems to get into it with a woman who takes a swing at him.  Trump supporters are on edge and heated as there are already dozens of videos showing polls being closed down hours early, leaving Trump voters without a chance to vote, machines not working right and now, a new report from Michigan stating Dominion voting machines aren't letting people vote for the candidates they choose.  [Video clip]

Citizens of what country?
Pennsylvania Voters Witness 'Non-English Speaking Citizens' Escorted Past Long Lines to Vote:  Report.  A shocking scene reportedly unfolded at a satellite election office in South Park Ice Rink in Bethel Park, PA, where early voters, who had been waiting for hours, witnessed 'vanloads' of 'non-English-speaking citizens' allegedly escorted to the front by "translators" to cast their ballots.  According to X user Emma Cawwod, at least "three buses" arrived, with individuals being guided in by representatives from "Vote Today PA," a vote mobilization group funded by the progressive organization Working Families Power, which advocates for causes like "economic fairness, racial justice, gender equity, climate sustainability."  Some of these individuals were seen wearing hooded sweatshirts with "Vote Today PA" printed on them.  One witness described a disorganized scene, claiming, "They had these people, they had about 12 of them walked in who were all foreigners, and then they took them up to these younger people help them fill out — they say 'Vote Today PA' — and somehow they beat a two-hour line."

Sounds like a bunch of Mexicans.  You see, in Mexico, people don't wait in line.  The person who will be attended to next is the person who elbows and claws his way to the front.  It's part of their culture, which they are now importing to the U.S., along with scabies, measles, chicken pox and tuberculosis.

Bucks County Emergency Services Shuts Down Doylestown Voting Line Early as Republicans Surge on Final Day.  Outrage is building as reports indicate Bucks County Emergency Services shut down the Doylestown in-person voting line early on the final day for absentee ballot requests.  This outrageous act of disenfranchisement comes after prominent voices, including Elon Musk and conservative activist Scott Pressler, encouraged Pennsylvanians to turn out and take advantage of every last opportunity to cast their votes.  Elon Musk took to social media to rally Pennsylvanians, urging, "This is the last day you can request an absentee ballot in Pennsylvania.  Moreover, you can hand it in immediately in person, so it never touches the mail.  Please bring anyone you know to vote today!"  Similarly, Scott Pressler emphasized the step-by-step process for those seeking in-person, on-demand mail-in ballots, instructing voters to stay in line, document their wait, and return your ballot in-person, not [to a] drop box.

Busloads Of Non-English Speaking People Cut The Voting Lines In Pennsylvania With Translators, All Wearing Harris/Walz Stickers.  Several buses full of non-English speaking "citizens" are guided past Americans who had been waiting in line for hours to cast their early votes.  These people, all wearing Harris Walz stickers, were directed through the voting process by a handful of "translators".  [Video clip]

Republicans Make Major Push For Early Voting After Arizona's Largest County Telegraphs Election Day Problems.  Voters in Maricopa County, Arizona, know all too well the consequences of poor election administration.  During the 2022 midterms, ballot on-demand printers at roughly 30 percent of Maricopa's vote centers produced ballots that did not comport with the vote tabulators.  As The Federalist previously reported, the conundrum resulted in long lines and an untold number of voters unable to cast their ballots or have them counted.  Now, with Election Day rapidly approaching, concerns are once again growing about the administration of the 2024 contest in Arizona's most populous county, where roughly 62 percent of the population resides.  Last week, Maricopa County election officials reportedly warned it could take nearly two weeks before all ballots are counted and finalized.  Those comments came a month after officials telegraphed there could be delays and long lines at Election Day vote centers due to issues with ballot tabulators.  With so much at stake this election, Arizona Republicans are leaving nothing to chance.  To avoid a 2022 repeat, they're making a major push for GOP voters to cast their ballots early and ensure their voices are heard at the ballot box this November.

So, What's Going on With These Ballot Drop Off Boxes Getting Torched on the West Coast?  There appears to be some election shenanigans happening on the Left Coast.  In Oregon and Washington, someone dropped incendiary devices into ballot drop boxes.  In Washington, hundreds of ballots were torched in the process; the ones in Portland were not damaged.  The incidents are reportedly linked, which has led to a federal investigation.  Authorities have a vehicle of interest connected to the ballot box fires captured on video, though the license plate was missing.

Congress Must Do More To Prevent Noncitizens From Voting.  As the Nov. 5 Election Day approaches, the threat of illegal voting by noncitizens looms large.  Democrats say that's impossible, because it's "already illegal for noncitizens to vote."  Yes.  It is.  And bank robbery, exceeding the speed limit, murder, and crossing the U.S. border without proper documentation — all of those things are "already illegal," and yet people do those things anyway.  Federal statutes are responsible for much of the chaos when it comes to ensuring that only U.S. citizens vote in our elections.  The National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) was construed by the U.S. Supreme Court more than a decade ago to preclude states from requiring documentary proof of citizenship when registering to vote using the federal voter registration form (which all but six states are required to "accept and use").  The Biden-Harris Department of Justice is now suing Alabama and Virginia for removing noncitizens from the states' voter rolls, citing (wrongly) the NVRA's list maintenance provisions as prohibiting the removal of noncitizen registrations in the 90 days preceding an election.  The DOJ is wrong on the law because the NVRA was not intended to apply to registrations that were never valid in the first place.  The administration's lawsuits merely confirm that Democrats view illegals and noncitizens as a key component of their political base.

Dem Operative Caught In Undercover Video Explaining How They Allegedly Stole 2020 Election in GA.  A stunning undercover video that was just released by Steven Crowder, reveals a Democrat operative, who can be seen explaining to an undercover female how members of his party are stealing elections from Republicans.  During his lengthy discussion, Joel Caldwell, the director of operations for The Coalition For The People's Agenda in Georgia explains how elections are stolen, by using a variety of methods, from kicking Republican poll watchers out of the State Farm Arena in 2020 because of an alleged water main break, to ballot harvesting in nursing homes, to verifying the 2000 Mules movie was accurate, while admitting he believes he was able to identify a union member's vehicle that was seen in the Dinesh D'Souza movie based on True the Vote's research.

Pennsylvania GOP Committeewoman Taken Away in Handcuffs For Encouraging People to Stay in Line and Vote.  Pennsylvania GOP Committeewoman and RNC delegate Val Biancaniello was taken away in handcuffs for telling voters at a polling place in Delaware County to stay in line and vote.  It is unclear if Biancaniello was booked and charged.  According to Val Biancaniello, the Democrats were discouraging voters from in-person voting on Monday in Delaware County so she encouraged voters to stay in line.  "I was just taken away in handcuffs at the Delaware County, Pennsylvania Government Center for encouraging people to stay in line and vote," Val Biancaniello said.

Scott Presler uncovers another possible mammoth election fraud scheme in Pennsylvania.  Pennsylvania is shaping up to be a must-win for Team Harris/Walz, but from the looks of things, it's slipping through their fingers, thanks to the relentless work Scott Presler has done to get Pennsylvanians legally registered to vote.  Even Senator John Fetterman is taking notice, calling the energy shift toward President Trump 'astonishing.  [Tweet]

Box of Ballots Found on Florida Turnpike After Reportedly Falling Off a Truck — Election Worker Fired.  A box containing hundreds of ballots from Miami-Dade County was discovered on the side of Florida's Turnpike after reportedly falling from an unsecured county truck.  The alarming event, confirmed by the Miami-Dade Elections Department, occurred late Monday night, prompting immediate concerns over election security.  Dashcam footage and cellphone videos captured by concerned citizens reveal the containers strewn across the roadway at Exit 11, near Cutler Bay.  The footage shows the clearly labeled parcels, complete with county barcodes and tracking paperwork meant for managing paper ballots.

US Postal Service Warns Voters Not to Delay Mailing Ballots.  The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) said it has performed well in delivering election mail so far in October, but it cautioned that voters should still mail in their ballots early to avoid possible delays.  The postal network is operating effectively without any significant disruptions, the agency said in an update on Oct. 23. It noted that "ballot mail performance scores were high," with 97.8 percent of ballot mail delivered in a timely manner.  About 99.9 percent was delivered within seven days.  Still, the Postal Service recommended that people place their ballots in the mail early so they can be counted.

Arsonists Destroy 'Hundreds' of Ballots Inside 'Secure' Ballot Boxes in Oregon and Washington.  Well, I guess we can dispense with the quaint notion that unsecured steel "ballot boxes" deposited around California, Oregon, and Washington are secure.  If anyone should hold those beliefs after reading what just happened in the Pacific Northwest, then you should probably have that person held on a 51-50 until they snap out of their delirium.  Overnight in Portland and Vancouver, in what are literally attacks on democracy, "incendiary devices" — IEDs — were used to incinerate "hundreds of ballots" in two ballot boxes overnight in Portland, Ore., and Vancouver, Wash.  [Tweet with video clip]  If you would like to appreciate just how "secure" these boxes were, then please note that the super secure box in Portland was right next to the Multnomah County Elections Office in S.E. Portland.  That box was hit by an IED at about 3:30 Monday morning at its location at 11th and Belmont in S.E. Portland near ground zero for Antifastan.  [Map]

Brilliant deduction, Holmes.
Police believe three fires at Washington, Oregon ballot boxes are linked.  Police believe three suspected arsons at ballot drop boxes in the northwestern U.S. states of Washington and Oregon are linked, and have identified what they believe is a suspect vehicle in Oregon, officials said on Monday.  Two separate blazes erupted Monday in Portland, Oregon, damaging three ballots, and Vancouver, Washington, destroying hundreds, officials said.  They said the two blazes resembled a third fire at a Vancouver ballot box on Oct. 8 that did not succeed in damaging any ballots.

Ballot box fires in Washington, Oregon destroy hundreds of ballots.  Two ballot box fires in Washington and Oregon early Monday morning destroyed hundreds of ballots, just eight days before the Nov. 5 general election.  Federal authorities are investigating the arson fires after an "incendiary device" was placed inside a ballot drop box just before 3:30 a.m.  PDT in the 1000 block of Southeast Morrison Street in Portland.

Several Ballot Drop Boxes Are Set On Fire, Destroying Hundreds Of Votes In Portland.  Ballot drop boxes in Portland, Oregon, and neighboring Vancouver, Washington, were set on fire early Monday morning, police said, just over a week out from Election Day.  Local officials said three ballots were damaged in Portland while potentially "hundreds" were affected in Vancouver.  The Portland Police Bureau said an "incendiary device" was placed inside of a sidewalk ballot box in the Central City district.  By the time officers responded to reports at about 3:30 a.m. local time, security personnel in the area had extinguished the flames.  [Video clip]

Who Torched Hundreds of Portland Area Drop Boxes?  There's No Shortage of Suspects.  The FBI has begun its own investigation into fiery attacks on three Portland and southwest Washington area "secure" election ballot drop boxes.  The question now, of course, is who did it and why?  The speculation is rampant, and Antifa, as usual, is the lead suspect in this whodunnit saga. [...] As I previously reported, two attacks occurred on Monday.  Hundreds of ballots were incinerated in the Vancouver, Washington, attack.  The election has now been thrown into chaos, but nobody wants to cop to it yet.  [Tweet with video clip]  The IED attacks on Monday follow a previous attempt to incinerate another southwest Washington box on October 8. Portland and Vancouver law enforcement officials announced at a news conference on Monday that they believe the attacks are connected.  People who put their ballots in the incinerated Clark County, Washington, drop box after Saturday have been asked to contact the Auditor's Office to vote again.  Figuring out who voted, whether the voters know their ballots were burned up, and what to do about it should be challenging, to say the least.

The Editor says...
While I am generally opposed to wholesale domestic surveillance and facial-recognition systems, I will admit that facial recognition has potentially beneficial applications; for example, to detect anyone who appears at a polling place more than once, especially on Election Day.  Anyone who goes to the polls more than once should be the subject of intense scrutiny.  No attempt should be made to identify anyone until and unless they are a repeat visitor.  The same is true of "drop boxes" for absentee ballots.  First of all, there is no reason for one person to deposit more than one or two ballots, and no reason to make a deposit at 3:00 a.m.  Photograph everybody, then see who has deposted dozens of suspect ballots.  Identifying the "mules" is entirely possible in the 21st century.

Virginia Takes Noncitizen-Voting Case to Supreme Court ahead of Election.  Virginia attorney general Jason Miyares on Monday took the commonwealth's noncitizen-voter case to the Supreme Court after a lower court blocked officials from purging their voter rolls of noncitizen aliens.  [Two advertisements]  A federal appeals court on Sunday backed a lower court's Friday ruling that ordered Virginia to restore some 1,600 suspected noncitizens who are ineligible to vote to the state's voter rolls.  Miyares and Governor Glenn Youngkin, both Republicans, responded with a pledge to take the case to the Supreme Court with just nine days left before the election.  They followed through on Monday.  The request asks the Supreme Court to pause the appeals court's Sunday decision. "Not only will the Commonwealth of Virginia be irreparably harmed absent a stay, so will its voters and the public at large," Virginia wrote in its emergency application for staying the injunction.

Federal Appeals Court Rules for 'Election Day', Not 'Election Week'.  Once upon a time, America used to have Election Day.  Now we're being threatened with Election Week.  There's no reason for it.  The year is 2024. We can order a toaster and have it delivered overnight from another state.  We hear about an event seconds after it happens.  Yet somehow despite insane budgets, we're told that it's impossible to do in 2024 what we were able to do in 1944.  During wartime.  Election Week may have hit a bit of a snag after the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that counting mail ballots arriving after Election Day is wrong because it's... Election Day, not Week, Month or Year.  "Congress statutorily designated a singular 'day for the election' of members of Congress and the appointment of presidential electors.  Text, precedent, and historical practice confirm this 'day for the election' is the day by which ballots must be both cast by voters and received by state officials."  The ruling spends time restating the obvious along with simple definitions of words.  Election Day is when all the ballots have to be in.  If the ballots aren't in, there's an endless election that only ends when all the ballots have been received.

The Cemetery Voting Bloc.  The presidential election will be here before we know it and there is a crucial constituency that conservatives have traditionally ignored but may prove to be the pivotal element in the forthcoming election:  the cemetery vote.  For many decades, the Democrats have had the black vote bloc firmly in their rear-end pocket and will probably continue to be that way, whether the Democratic candidate is Jack the Ripper, or Joan of Arc.  They also hope that the Hispanic vote may be just as mindlessly subservient as the black voting bloc, but this may not be a certainty since a third of Hispanic voters voted for Trump in spite of the propaganda by the "impartial," "objective" media in consistently portraying him as an anti-Hispanic racist.  On the other hand, the cemetery vote has repeatedly voted for Democratic candidates in all elections at an astonishing level of 100%.  It is truly enviable.

Democrats In North Carolina's Helene Disaster Area Block Emergency Early Voting Locations.  The havoc wrought by Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina brought disaster to homes and families, but that has not stopped Democrats from blocking the approval of emergency early voting sites in the heavily Republican area.  The refusal to act forced the GOP-led state legislature to intervene.  Democrat-run local elections boards in McDowell and Henderson counties have failed to approve additional early voting sites in the disaster-stricken area, despite increasing calls for more access to voting.  Both counties voted for Donald Trump in 2020.  "Ensuring the right to vote is upheld for western NC citizens devastated by Hurricane Helene should be a non-partisan issue," western North Carolina native Clay McCreary said, according to The Carolina Journal.  McReary is North Carolina political director of Restoration of America, an organization that has been advocating for additional voting opportunities in the disaster area.  "We simply cannot allow the people of western North Carolina who have lost so much to lose their voice in the political process."

Nevada Supreme Court Rules Mail-In Ballots without Postmarks Can Be Counted Three Days After Election.  Nevada's Supreme Court on Monday ruled mail-in ballots without postmarks can be counted three days after Election Day.  The Democrats use mail-in ballots to cheat so the Trump campaign and Nevada GOP filed a lawsuit against the Nevada Secretary of State arguing against the state's law allowing mail-in ballots to be counted after the election.  Nevada state law allows mail-in ballots with postmarks to be counted up to four days after Election Day.  The Nevada Supreme Court on Monday ruled mail-in ballots with postmarks can be counted up to 4 days after the election and non-postmarked ballots can be counted up to 3 days after the election.

Election Day is one day.  If your mail-in ballot does not arrive by Election Day, it is entirely your own fault, just as in the case where you mail your water bill too late and incur a late fee.  You should have mailed it earlier.  Any mail-in vote is highly suspect if it arrives after Election Day, and should be carefully examined (alongside all the other ballots that arrived with it) for evidence of fraud.  But even if it's a legitimate vote from an actual living U.S. citizen, it's too late and that vote should not be counted.

RNC: There Are Some Big Problems With Voter Access in Pennsylvania.  The Republican National Committee is expressing a number of concerns about the ability of people to vote and have their votes properly counted in Pennsylvania.  "With only eight days until Election Day, Pennsylvanians across the commonwealth deserve every option available to exercise their civic duty.  But voters are being turned away, given faulty information, and told their ballots will not be counted.  This is nothing short of voter suppression, and we demand immediate action to ensure every legal vote can be cast and counted properly," RNC Chairman Michael Whatley released in a statement.  In a letter written to Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt, an attorney for the RNC and Trump campaign detailed the issues and demanded changes.  "Voters consistently report to us that at Boards of Election Offices across the Commonwealth, they are told that 'computers are down,' the site will be closing early, they are not accepting any more voters, and that mail ballots will not be counted.  Pennsylvanians deserve the same effortless experience boasted about by Governor Shapiro but county offices appear unable or unwilling to provide it," attorney Linda Kerns wrote.

How states can protect the right to vote in hurricane-ravaged areas.  We are less than a month away from Election Day as the hard-hit residents in the western part of North Carolina and the northern part of Georgia recover from the ravages of Hurricane Helene.  What should officials in those states, and possibly others, be doing to protect their affected citizens' right to vote?  North Carolina alone has almost 7.7 million registered voters, and about one-fifth of them, over 1.5 million, live in areas devastated by the storm.  More than 800,000 people voted in the 53 affected counties in Georgia in 2020, about one-sixth of the state's votes.  By now, county election officials in those states should have already assessed the situation, surveying polling locations to determine which ones have been damaged or destroyed so they can arrange for alternative facilities on Nov. 5.  Early voting sites should be open in all of the counties hit by Helene to accommodate voters who have lost homes and power.  Local radio and TV stations should regularly broadcast complete lists of the locations of new polling and early voting sites to ensure voters are notified of the changes and afforded opportunities to vote.

No Cheating... This Time.  But the question remains: if in 2020, why not in 2024? There are a lot of factors arguing in favor of this thesis.  We're talking about the Democrats, who have been masters of the electoral cheat since the heyday of Boss Tweed.  The apparatus is undoubtedly still in place, minus a few defections such as the newly "libertarian" Mark Zuckerberg.  The Deep State also has not gone anywhere.  But overriding all that is the vast array of elements, social, political, psychological, what have you, that can only be termed "historical circumstances." In hindsight, the overall conditions in 2020 seem primed for cheating.  Today, not so much. [...] Will there be cheating?  Certainly.  As we pointed out, they're Democrats.  They can't stop themselves any more than a scorpion can desist from striking.  But not on the level of 2020, and not enough to change the results.  Cheating will only take you so far.  It has taken the Dems about as far as they will ever get.

Please Do Not Attempt Another 'Insurrection'.  On the evening of Nov. 3, 2020, America went to bed thinking that Donald Trump had been re-elected to a second term.  They woke up to the news that Joe Biden had taken the lead in key swing states, a lead which widened as the ballot counting continued for weeks afterwards in places like Detroit, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, and Maricopa County, Arizona.  So how will election night 2024 unfold?  This time around, the swing states have already announced that it will take four or five days, at least, to count all the ballots.  Maricopa county, where Phoenix is located, claims that its 1.2 million or so ballots will take between 10-13 days to count.  (!)  Trump's lead in early voting continues to widen, and he is looking more and more like the odds-on favorite to win the election.  But what happens if — as in 2020 — Trump's lead is gradually eaten away as the days go by and ballots continue to trickle in?

Early, mail-in voting is for losers.  To be valid, elections must be conducted in person on one day — with paper ballots that are counted the same day, like they are in nearly every other legitimate democracy and republic on earth.  With something like 70% of the votes cast early and by mail-in ballots, it is as if the first three quarters of the Super Bowl were played in the weeks before the 'actual' event — with just the fourth quarter played on Super Bowl Sunday.  And then, of course, whatever the score happens to be at the 'end' of the game, the final result wouldn't be announced until days — or perhaps weeks — later... after some necessary, completely unbiased and trustworthy behind the scenes analysis to make sure the 'correct' outcome is achieved.

Democrats Violated Election Laws in 2020 And Got Away With It.  On election night 2020, the networks reported various stoppages of the vote count in various swing states.  There were reports of stoppages in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Dekalb County, Georgia; and North Carolina.  There were also questions about "frozen" return numbers in Wisconsin and Michigan.  Most infamously, the lead election officials in the Fulton County Stadium in Atlanta seemed to have stopped their count when they sent other officials home on the specious justification of a non-existent water leak.  It was the stoppages that were the catalyst for all the election controversies that plague us to this day.  Without those stoppages, Trump would never have held a press conference where, at 2:21 am, he stated that "all of a sudden it [the counting] is off" and then, at 2:29 am, that "we want all voting to stop; we don't want them to find any ballots in the morning and add them."

Fraud Found Among 2,500 Voter Registration Forms Submitted En Masse In PA.  Police in the 2024 battleground state of Pennsylvania are investigating some 2,500 voter registration forms that were submitted in two massive batches — and investigators say that 60% of the forms they've checked so far are fraudulent.  All of the ballots were submitted in Lancaster County, but two other counties are scrutinizing similarly suspect batches.  While officials say it's the work of a "large-scale canvassing operation," they're not yet saying who's behind it.  The roughly 2,500 applications landed at or near Pennsylvania's Oct 21 registration deadline; some observers are speculating that the timing may have been tactical, with the intent of exploiting time-pressure administrators would be under ahead of the Nov. 5 Election Day.  However, as they examined the massive heap of forms, application processors were immediately alarmed by what they saw:
  •   Multiple applications with the same handwriting and signatures
  •   Many forms filled out on the same day
  •   Applications for previously-registered voters whose signatures on the forms did not match the ones on file

US intelligence says Russia is behind video of ballots being destroyed in Pennsylvania.  U.S. intelligence officials have confirmed that a viral video spreading online showing mail-in ballots being destroyed in the key battleground suburb of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, is a hoax perpetrated by Russia as part of its covert effort to help elect former President Donald Trump.  A federal official exclusively told USA TODAY on Friday that authorities believed that was the case, based on the specifics of the video and the fact that it was targeting Vice President Kamala Harris and trying to boost Trump's electoral chances.  Less than 12 hours later, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) confirmed that assessment in a statement issued Friday night with the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).

12 Colorado Mail Ballots Were Stolen And Filled Out. 3 Of Them Were Counted.  At least 12 mailed ballots were stolen in a rural Colorado county and then sent in with fraudulent votes, three of which slipped past county election officials and were counted in next month's general election, state officials said Thursday.  A fourth ballot was almost counted, but the voter — who had not received their ballot — received an electronic notification that their ballot had been accepted by the elections office and contacted the clerk, Secretary of State Jena Griswold said during a news conference in Denver.

Preparing for the Steal.  Georgia, the site of massive election misinformation, questionable results, incomplete audits and a mysterious come-from-behind razor-thin win by Joe Biden in 2020, appears to be at it again.  Or perhaps we should say Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is at it again.  Kylie Jane Kremer brought the matter to our attention through a series of posts on X. [...] In the email, Raffensperger claimed that "Election deniers and conspiracy theorists have taken their anger to new levels, [...]"  Raffensperger appears to be referring to (and trying to intimidate) the three Republican members of Georgia's five -person State Election Board, Dr. Janice Johnston, Rick Jeffares and Janelle King.  Raffensperger also appears to be attempting to intimidate and silence anyone who might challenge the outcome of Georgia's 2024 presidential election.

Are Intelligence Agencies Planning to Make Voters Obsolete?  Here's something for you to contemplate as you consider concerns about election integrity:  Do the algorithms that Andrew Paquette, Ph.D., has found surreptitiously embedded in current state board of election voter rolls suggest intelligence agents have decided to bypass voters to vote election simulations?  As documented on GodsFiveStones.com, Paquette has found secret algorithms in the board of election voter registration databases in New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Hawaii, and Texas, with ongoing examinations underway in Arizona and Georgia.  The algorithms appear designed to hide critical voter attribute information, allowing the people who developed the scheme to create and hide "non-existent voters" capable of being assigned legitimate state voter IDs.  Once created, the algorithms can vote certifiable mail-in ballots for enough "non-existent voters" to steal an election from an opponent who won through legitimate votes.

Massive Voter Fraud Scheme Busted In Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Fake Votes, Fake Signatures Found.  Lancaster, Pennsylvania officials have BUSTED a large-scale fraudulent voter registration scheme that includes thousands of applications with the same handwriting, fake signatures, false addresses, etc[.]  They discovered the same scheme in other Pennsylvania counties.  District Attorney Heather Adams revealed that the applications came from canvassers who were paid to obtain voter registrations, adding that "The majority of the applications were from residents in the city of Lancaster... The canvases themselves took place at various shopping centers, parking lots of grocery stores and businesses, sidewalks and parks."  "We are aware of at least two other counties that receive similar applications that are currently being investigated."  If you listen closely, the DA said the Clerk received the applications at or near the deadline to register to vote.  That means the bad actors waited till the last minute so no one would notice.  They would've used the fraudulent applications to commit mail-in ballot fraud without getting caught.  [Video clip]

The GOP Just Secured a Massive Election Integrity Win.  The Republican National Convention (RNC) won a massive election integrity victory, undermining unlawful ballot counting laws in Democrat states.  On Friday, the RNC secured a win in the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled that mail-in ballots that arrive after Election Day cannot be counted under federal law.  This comes as Democrats have claimed it will take days to count all the ballots due to late mail-in votes.  Circuit Judge Andrew S. Oldham ruled that "Congress statutorily designated a singular 'day for the election' of members of Congress and the appointment of presidential electors.  Text, precedent, and historical practice confirm this 'day for the election' is the day by which ballots must be both cast by voters and received by state officials."  RNC Chairman Michael Whatley (R-NC) called it a significant win for preserving the integrity and fairness of the presidential election.

Swing-state county reports thousands of suspected fraudulent voter registration forms.  Lancaster County officials announced an investigation Friday after election workers found some 2,500 voter applications that they suspect are fraudulent.  Two batches of applications were dropped off last-minute at the county elections office to meet Pennsylvania's Oct. 21 voter registration deadline, officials reported at a Friday news conference.  District Attorney Heather Adams said investigators found problems with 60% of the voter registration forms they've reviewed so far, including incorrect addresses, false identification information, false names and names that don't match Social Security information.  "Staff noticed that numerous applications appeared to have the same handwriting [and] were filled out on the same day," Adams said.

Biden-Appointed Judge Orders Noncitizens Back on Voter Rolls in Virginia.  There's plenty of debate over whether Virginia is truly in play for 2024, but one thing is certain:  multiple polls have shown the race neck-and-neck within the margin of error.  The possibility that Donald Trump could flip Virginia may well have been a factor in Joe Biden's exit from the race.  Sure, there have been polls showing Kamala Harris with a formidable lead there as well, but in the end, we won't know until after Election Day.  One promising sign that Virginia was looking good for Trump was Gov. Glenn Youngkin's executive order ordering that all votes for the 2024 presidential election be cast by paper ballot, and when he had the voter rolls in his state reviewed and thousands of non-citizens removed from the voter rolls.  I guess Virginia is in play because a federal judge just ordered that all noncitizens the state purged from the voter rolls be reinstated following a lawsuit that the Biden-Harris administration brought.

Arizona Ballot Box Set on Fire, Disrupting Voting Process Two Weeks Before Election.  An Arizona ballot box was set on fire, damaging the twenty electoral ballots and disrupting the voting process.  The Phoenix Fire Department responded to a call at 1:30 a.m. on Thursday after someone lit a ballot box containing mail-in ballots.  The ballots ruined in the fire were sent to the postal inspector for investigation.  Investigators also collected surveillance video from the scene and sent it to the Phoenix Fire Investigations Task Force.  "The Postal Inspector took possession of the damaged ballots and mail," explained Phoenix Fire Capt. Rob McDade.  "The Phoenix Fire Investigations Task Force, which includes Phoenix Police detectives and Phoenix Fire investigators, are working with US Postal Inspectors.  Approximately 20 electoral ballots were damaged, along with additional miscellaneous mail.  The Postal Inspector took possession of the damaged ballots and mail."

We live in the 21st century.  TV cameras are cheap and plentiful.  Every drop box and ballot box in the country, whether attended or unattended, should be surrounded 24/7 with lights and cameras.  Of course, surveillance cameras have been known to fail at the worst possible moments:  Just ask Jeffery Epstein.  But this would go a long way toward deterring fraud or at least prosecuting it.

Election Integrity Win:  Court Rules That Ballots Must Arrive by Election Day.  The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals just delivered a win for election integrity and a blow to the Democrat rigging machine, a sign of hope not long before Election Day 2024.  On Oct. 25, the Fifth Circuit Court ruling in Republican National Committee v. Wetzel reversed a former judgment and affirmed that Mississippi's statute allowing the state to receive ballots up to five days after federal Election Day is not consistent with the Constitution or federal law.  It is not even consistent with Mississippi's own law, the ruling states!  Indeed, the ruling is a hopeful sign coming just after the discouraging news that a Biden-appointed judge ordered Virginia to reinstate non-citizens on voter rolls.  The fight for election integrity is challenging but most certainly not doomed.  "Congress statutorily designated a singular 'day for the election' of members of Congress and the appointment of presidential electors.  Text, precedent, and historical practice confirm this 'day for the election' is the day by which ballots must be both cast by voters and received by state officials," the ruling announces.

Fifth Circuit Issues 'Massive' Election Integrity Win on Ballot Receipt Deadline.  As we've learned over the years watching tight presidential races, each state holds its own election and has its own set of rules as to how it is administered.  This makes for some stark differences in, for instance, deadlines set by states for accepting absentee or mail-in ballots.  Mississippi allows ballot receipt up to five days after Election Day.  Until now, that is.  On Friday afternoon, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a decision holding that ballots must be both cast and received by Election Day and that Mississippi's law is preempted by federal law.

Fever Dream.  [Scroll down]  People of good faith have reason to believe that the country is about to be blown apart.  By another odd coincidence, an outfit called the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association International (AFCEA) has scheduled an "exercise simulating a cyber-attack on critical infrastructure" for November 5 in Atlanta, Georgia.  That's election day.  In a big swing state.  Whose idea was that?  Is there already not enough that might go wrong that some treasonous moron had to kick the risk of fiasco up another notch?  Or might it be cover for another Three Card Monte caper with the Georgia votes?

So Apparently We Won't Know Who the Next POTUS Is Until Two Weeks After Election.  Election officials in one of the largest counties in Arizona, which ultimately decides the election in the critical swing state, are already warning Americans that voting tabulation could take weeks to conclude.  Maricopa County officials are asking people for "patience" as they tally up the final votes, which they say could take between 10 and 14 days.  Deputy Elections Director Jennifer Liewer blames longer-than-usual ballots and the high interest in the 2024 election.  This year's ballot in the state will be two pages long and have an average of 79 races per ballot.  More than 400,000 people in Maricopa County have already cast their ballots, and over 2.1 million voters are expected to show up at the polls this year.  As a result, election officials are encouraging people to vote early.  "We are seeing a little bit of a lag of where we were in 2020, but the last few days, we've actually seen an uptick in turnout," Scott Jarrett, Maricopa County elections director, said.  "So I am expecting that we will start approaching very close to those 2020 numbers."

No candidate ever said such a thing until the 2000 Bush-versus-Gore fiasco.
Kamala Harris AGAIN Says It May Take Days to Count Ballots.  Kamala Harris took the entire day off from the campaign trail on Tuesday to sit down for prerecorded interviews with NBC News and Telemundo.  Harris's interview with NBC News was a total dumpster fire and her interview with Telemundo was not any better.  Telemundo's Julio Vaqueiro asked Kamala Harris if she expects to get the results on election night.  Harris once again said it may take more than one night to count ballots.

Voter Fraud Alert:  Over a Dozen Mailed Ballots Intercepted and Cast Fraudulently in Mesa County, Colorado.  Mesa County, Colorado, a place often hailed by leftist media as an example of "secure and safe" elections, is now facing a scandal that blows holes in the far-left's favorite talking point: "Voter fraud doesn't exist."  Over a dozen mailed ballots were intercepted and cast fraudulently before the actual voters even had a chance to receive them.  This alarming situation has sparked a full-blown criminal investigation, and three of those fraudulent votes were counted before the tampering was caught.  For years, conservative voices have been sounding the alarm about voter fraud, only to be dismissed by mainstream media and liberal pundits as "conspiracy theorists."  But now, even Colorado's radical leftist Secretary of State Jena Griswold, who said "Colorado is the Gold Standard of Election," was forced to admit that something went very wrong.

Ballots Found in Florida Storm Drain Were Stolen from Mailboxes with USPS Master Key.  Ballots found in an Orange County, Florida storm drain were stolen from mailboxes with a USPS master key.  Fox 35 Orlando reported that the ballots were taken from mailboxes by an unidentified suspect using an arrow key, also known as a master key, that was stolen from the United States Postal Service.  Orange County Supervisor of Elections Glen Gilzean shared, "Recently, Orange County voters and the United States Postal Service made our office aware that a stolen USPS Arrow Key was used to access cluster mailboxes in the county."  "During the theft, several vote-by-mail ballots our office mailed days earlier to voters were discarded on the ground," added Gilzean.

North Carolinians to Decide on Amendment Clarifying That 'Only a Citizen' May Vote.  Residents in North Carolina will have the opportunity in November to clarify requirements pertaining to voting.  Fox News reported on Thursday that House Bill 1074 would clarify the state constitution's wording to say that citizens are the only persons allowed to vote in state elections.  The report noted that non-citizens are already barred from voting in North Carolina.  The bill is also being called the "Citizen Only Voting" amendment.

Non-Citizens Registered to Vote in Minnesota.  Footage has emerged showing a disturbing trend of non-citizens being registered to vote in Minnesota.  The footage, obtained by Anthony Rubin, CEO of Muckraker, exposes the ease with which non-citizens are being swept into the state's voter rolls, thanks in part to Governor Tim Walz's policies that are undermining the integrity of Minnesota's elections.  In the video published by Oversight Project, 31% of those interviewed at a single apartment complex admitted to being non-citizens who are nonetheless registered to vote.  This comes on the heels of two controversial laws passed by the Minnesota state legislature under Walz's leadership.

MI Director of Elections Jonathan Brater Accused Of Lying Under Oath to Grand Jury To Persecute Election Integrity Patriots.  Michigan's Director of Elections, Jonathan Brater, is accused of lying under oath to a grand jury in the case against two brilliant and courageous election integrity lawyers and a respected patriot and former MI State Representative.  On August 3, 2023, Democrat Muskegon Prosecutor DJ Hilson announced criminal charges against Attorney Stefanie Lambert, then-MI State Rep. Daire Rendon (R), and Attorney Matthew DePerno, her Republican opponent, in the general election for MI AG in 2022, for their alleged role in the investigation of vote tabulators, reportedly given to them by clerks to be examined for potential fraud.  Nessel accused them of illegally gaining access to five tabulators across three Michigan counties, reportedly used in the state's 2020 election.

Why Hidden Algorithms in State Board of Election Voter Rolls Disqualifies Certification.  Those who want to diminish the importance of finding cryptographic algorithms embedded in state boards of election (SBOE) voter registration databases typically demand proof the algorithms have resulted in fraudulent votes or suggest that legitimate purposes can explain the algorithms.  However, they're focusing on the wrong things.  This article argues that cryptographic algorithms in SBOE voter registration databases may violate state and federal laws, potentially indicating improper practices or even criminal activity.  Election officials who fail to investigate and address unauthorized algorithms once discovered could risk civil and possibly criminal liabilities, depending on specific circumstances and applicable laws. [...] Given the context of public voter rolls and the requirements for transparency and accessibility, there seems to be no clear and justifiable reason for employing such complex and obscure algorithms.  The complexity appears unnecessary and counterproductive to the goals of maintaining accurate and transparent voter records.

Ballot Shredding By Hand In Yardley Borough, Pennsylvania.  [Video clip only.  No further information.]

Arizona Announces Their Massive Plan To Cheat During Elections By Telling Voters They Need 10-13 Days To Count Votes In Maricopa County.  Republican voters in Arizona are expressing concerns over Maricopa County's announcement that it could take 10 to 13 days to fully tabulate the results.  Election officials have attributed the extended timeline to longer-than-usual ballots and a high voter turnout, but some Republicans are skeptical of the delay, raising questions about the process.  In Maricopa County, Deputy Elections Director Jennifer Liewer explained that the time frame is necessary to ensure accuracy and security.  [Video clip]

Democrat Operative Busted Trying To Steal A Drop Box Off A Wall In Montana.  Operative Laszlo Gendler is accused of tampering with a ballot drop box.  Gendler is paid by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) who are currently helping Democrat Senator Jon Tester get re-elected.  "The Glacier County election administrator contacted our office expressing serious concern over surveillance footage that appeared to show an individual 'tampering' with a ballot box," Communications Director for Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen told Montana Talks.  "Our Elections Director contacted the election administrator, who confirmed that the individual in the footage is Laszlo Gendler."  [Video clip]

Six Noncitizens Indicted For Allegedly Voting In Ohio (The Thing Democrats STILL Insist Never Happens).  Six noncitizens were indicted in Ohio after they allegedly voted in past elections despite noncitizen voting in federal elections being illegal, state Attorney General Dave Yost announced Tuesday.  Ramesh Patel, 68, was indicted on one count of illegal voting after he allegedly voted in 2014, 2016, and 2018 despite not being a citizen.  Lorinda Miller, 78, was indicted on two counts of illegal voting after allegedly voting in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019.  Miller "is a legal permanent resident but lacked U.S. citizenship," according to Yost's office.  Both Nicholas Fontaine, 32, Van Thuy Cooper, 53, and Ahmed Aden, 35, are also "legal permanent resident[s]" but not citizens, leading to their indictment.  Sixty-two year-old Maria Dearaujo was also indicted on one count of illegal voting.  She is a "lawful resident" but not a citizen and allegedly voted in both 2016 and 2018, according to Yost's office.

Dems Trying To Change Voting Rules In State They Can't Win Under Current System.  The political World Series between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris gets most of the attention along with a handful of U.S. Senate races, but conservatives are fighting crucial local battles as well — as the recent story out of Ohio reminds.  Another eye-opening battle is against Idaho's Democrat-driven Proposition 1.  The motivation for Proposition 1 is simple.  Not so long ago, Democrats could compete with Republicans in Idaho.  Today, Idaho is ruby red and growing more conservative by the year.  You feel excluded and voiceless if you're an Idaho liberal.  That is understandable.  Try being a Republican in California or Massachusetts.  How does an activist Democrat respond?  You try to change the rules to improve your chances.  If a level playing field with honest referees is not working for you, try tilting the field or bribing the refs.  Enter Proposition 1.  The first element of Proposition 1 would abolish Idaho's closed primary system and replace it with an open primary in which all voters may vote on any candidate.

Mailbox master key theft enables massive ballot theft.  The United States Postal Service and mail thieves are both getting better at their trade.  The USPS now saves time by delivering mail to one master mailbox serving an entire neighborhood, apartment building, or other centralized location.  The problem is that this supposed increase in mail efficiency also makes it easier to steal dozens, hundreds, and even thousands of mail-in ballots.  Thieves have broken into mailboxes for years.  Their favorite targets were checks or someone foolish enough to mail cash.  The advent of electronic banking with its associated credit and debit cards made marauding through mailboxes more profitable.  Thieves steal new bank cards and quickly run up charges, buying easily resalable items.  They then list the fraudulently bought item on sites such as eBay or Craig's List.  The stolen cards quickly become cash.

[#1] In the 21st century, most intenet users are aware that it's a bad idea to use the same password for every transaction.  In a similar manner, the use of a master key to open dozens of locks all over town is a dangerous anachronism.  [#2] Any postal employee who is trusted with a master key should be immediately fired if the master key is lost, stolen, or loaned to a Democrat mule.

Where's my vote receipt?  In order to improve public trust in the election process, the citizenry must receive a receipt for their vote, all ballots must be available to the public for review online and free of charge, and the secret counting must stop.  Every citizen must be able to validate that their vote was recorded correctly, and every citizen should be a potential vote counter and auditor of the election results.  The vote receipt should show, in plain English, all the selections made for offices and initiatives.  There is no need for a separate section of custom machine-readable information.  This is nonsense!  It's 2024 — machines can accurately read the same plain English text on the ballot that humans read.  If the voting machine can't, then fire the vendors and get different machines.  At polling stations, even if machines are used to record votes, the machine must print two identical ballots.  This would work similar to a restaurant cash register, which records the transaction and generates two paper copy receipts — one for the establishment and one for the patron.  For voting, one printed ballot receipt would be kept by the state, and the other would be for the voter.  Essentially, this creates two sets of auditable paper records:  one owned by the state and the other owned by the people.

Tarrant County, Texas Voters Report Problems with Voting Machines.  Tarrant County, Texas GOP Chairman Bo French was notified that voters who selected Trump on the screen of the voting machine were seeing Kamala Harris on the final printed ballot.  "Today at 3:29 pm I was notified of reports that voters were experiencing problems.  Reports were that people who selected Trump on the screen were seeing Harris on the printed ballot.  This was reported to the Election Judge and in at least one case the voter was issued a new ballot to vote again.  I immediately reported this to the TC Elections Administrator," Bo French said on Monday.  "After your ballot is printed, make sure you check to make sure your selections are accurate!" he warned.  "I voted for one president, checked it on the video screen, when I got the paper ballot, it had the other candidate's name on it," a Tarrant County voter said.  "Check your paper ballots everybody."

Texas sues administration for not verifying voter registration citizenship info.  Following Florida, Texas sued the Biden-Harris administration Tuesday after requesting citizenship status information about registered voters in Texas, and not receiving it from federal agencies as required by law.  Last week, a coalition of attorneys general, including from Florida and Texas, called on Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to provide the requested information.  They made the requests as multiple states removed thousands of noncitizens from their voter rolls.  After not receiving the information, Florida sued last week.  Other states in the coalition are also expected to sue.

Six indicted for voter fraud in Ohio.  Six of the nearly 140 people referred to Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost by Secretary of State Frank LaRose for illegal voting have been indicted.  Yost announced Tuesday seven cases were presented to grand juries last week, resulting in six indictments for illegal voting.  A grand jury refused to indict the seventh.  Five of the indictments involved legal U.S. permanent residents without citizenship.  The sixth involved a noncitizen who accused of voting in 2014, 2016, and 2018.  Only two of the indictments involved the 2020 election.  "The right to vote is sacred," Yost said.  "If you're not a U.S. citizen, it's illegal to vote — whether you thought you were allowed to or not — you will be held accountable."

WI Rep. Wants Judiciary Committee To Look Into Election-Related Raid On Wausau Mayor's Home.  Wisconsin's far-left top prosecutor still isn't commenting two days after The Federalist first reported the state Department of Justice led a raid on the office and home of Wausau Mayor Douglas Diny — a law enforcement operation tied to Diny's removal and relocation of an unsecured absentee ballot drop box outside city hall.  Meanwhile, Rep. Tom Tiffany, a Republican who represents Wausau in northern Wisconsin's 7th Congressional District, said that he'd like the House Judiciary Committee to investigate Attorney General Josh Kaul's politically driven probe.  Tiffany, who serves on the committee, told Wisconsin conservative talk show host Vicki McKenna that Kaul's actions reek of the kind of politically weaponized investigations and prosecutions Biden-Harris administration Attorney General Merrick Garland has delivered during his tenure.  "I see Merrick Garland doing stuff like this out in Washington, D.C., whether it's on Catholics or people in school board meetings, whatever the case may be," said the congressman, referring to some of the U.S. Department of Justice's many targets. "Now it appears Josh Kaul for Halloween wants to be the mini-Merrick Garland."

'Unacceptable': County Fires Election Worker After Republican Spots Ballot Security Lapse In Realtime.  Hennepin County, Minnesota, fired an election worker who left several boxes of mail-in ballots unattended after a local GOP group exposed the alleged negligence, according to a statement from county officials released Friday.  Minnesota Senate District 50 Republicans — the Republican Party's official political unit for portions of Minnesota cities Edina and Bloomington — snapped a photo outside of Edina City Hall Friday showing a courier vehicle's "rear door ajar with ballot transfer cases inside."  A review of parking lot surveillance footage found the ballots were not tampered with, and a comparison of the votes with the statewide voter registration system for absentee ballots found a perfect match.

Asking Questions About Election Integrity Doesn't Make Someone An 'Election Denier'.  If Americans have questions and concerns about how our elections are administered and how ballots are tabulated, does that make them "election deniers," conspiracy theorists, threats to democracy?  The Wall Street Journal seems to think so.  In a long news report published over the weekend headlined, "'It Feels Very Dystopian.' Republican County Officials Brace for Election Deniers — Again," the Journal repeatedly characterized those who think the 2020 election was stolen, rigged, or less-than-secure as "election deniers," and stopped just short of calling them domestic terrorists. [...] The entire frame and premise of the piece is designed to gaslight readers into thinking that election officials nationwide are being hunted by rabid Trump supporters who have been hoodwinked into believing an outlandish conspiracy theory about the 2020 election.

Surprise, Surprise!  Everybody and his uncle expect a gigantic tantrum to follow November 6 if Mr. Trump somehow overcomes the tide of bogus harvested votes, illegal alien votes, phantom overseas votes, voting machine swapped votes, lost-and-found votes, last-minute rafts of votes, and other products of the Marc Elias election sabotage machine.  I am not so sure that the tantrum will materialize.  Despite the orgy of Orwellian language inversions you have been subjected to in recent years, and the bending of reality it induced, you will know a real insurrection if you see it.  You already know the real reason the Democratic Party went insane:  its crime spree against the citizens of this land was so obvious and outrageous that a thousand Beltway bureaucrats are now going crazy in fear of prosecution.  The tantrum everyone expects them to provoke would be a real insurrection and they are liable to find themselves in even deeper trouble for resorting to it.

31,000 Mail-In Ballots Requested At Ineligible Addresses — In One Swing State!  Mail-in ballots are being requested, by the thousands, in locations which are undeliverable — in Wisconsin.  If nobody is there, who [...] is requesting that ballot?  This is the heart of the 2024 STEAL — and it is happening in plain sight, for the world to see.  StopBogusBallots.com is publishing this travesty — which the RNC and Trump Campaign will not fight — for everyone to see.

It's the Great Reversal, Not the Great Reset.  Not only have we experienced unprecedented unconstitutional abuse of government power exercised in response to COVID-19, 2020 election irregularities, and January 6, which has left our country in a state that has more in common with a banana republic than the constitutional republic that has defined us previously for some 230 years.  Recent developments suggest that this could be a prelude to worse to come.

NY's Prop 1 opens the door to noncitizen voting.  New York Democrats have failed to legalize noncitizen voting, but may get their way by passing Proposition 1 on the Nov. 5 ballot.  The deceptively written "Equal Rights Amendment" doesn't protect women or abortion rights — but does empower lawmakers to ignore the current language of the state Constitution in the name of protecting a whole host of new rights that it would create.  Let's be clear:  Abortion rights are not under threat in New York.  Citizenship and voting rights, however, are under attack.  The courts blocked the New York City Council's 2021 law to let 800,000 non-citizens with green cards vote, since Article II, Section 1, of the state Constitution restricts voting in New York to US citizens who are 18 or older and have lived in the state at least 30 days.  But Prop 1 would undo that protection:  Among the host of new rights it creates is a prohibition of discrimination on the basis of "national origin."

Are UK Labor Party and Harris Campaign Headed for Legal Jeopardy?  The United Kingdom's Labor Party and Kamala Harris' presidential campaign may be marching into the same legal jeopardy as the Australian Labor Party and Bernie Sanders' campaign for president did in 2016:  violating federal law that bans foreigners from financial involvement in American political campaigns.  Various news sources report that Sofia Patel, head of operations for the Labor Party in the U.K., is recruiting members to campaign for Harris in swing states such as North Carolina, Nevada, and Pennsylvania.  As a former member of the Federal Election Commission, the agency responsible for civil enforcement of federal campaign finance laws, I can tell you that the law on this is quite clear:  52 U.S.C. § 30121 prohibits any foreign national from making "a contribution or donation of money or other thing of value" in connection with a federal, state, or local election.

November 5: The Pennsylvania Cheat Sheet.  Since the Democrats have not disbanded the criminal wing of their party, we have to assume they are going to try the same tricks they used to 'fortify' the 2020/2 elections and then some.  Election theft is an anti-story, which is to say, if you are employed by Baghdad Bob, (Sundance's name for the corporate media), if you mention suspicions, you are not only fired, you are blacklisted for all time.  Driven out of the cult, and mocked.  If you type the word:  D*m*nion, a bot picks you up and down-ranks your post or story.  The absence of the legacy media means that citizens have stepped up.  In Pennsylvania, Leah Hoopes and Greg Stenstrom were Republican poll watchers in 2020 in Delaware County, Penn, from here on called Delco.  The agonizingly delayed vote in Delco gave Pennsylvania to Biden, which gave Biden the win.  It was a hot spot, a pivot county, a must win county for Biden.  So it was stolen.

North and South Carolina Report Ballot Issues.  When you consider the probability that both govt and private sector are generating ballots, then you evaluate ballot centric issues accordingly.  County level ballots from two different feeder sources can present a problem at the scanning and tabulation stage, if there is any variance to them. [...] If the scanner is aligned to only one format of ballots, and more than one format are floating around (depending on county) then temporary malfunctions are likely.  Do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.  Do the thing you can control, put aside the thing you cannot.  Each person can vote.  Do it!  Make sure your voice is heard.

Michigan's inflated voter rolls draw scrutiny as election looms.  Michigan has more than 8.4 million registered voters, but in some counties, the number of registered voters exceeds the number of people who are of voting age, a striking discrepancy that has attracted scrutiny and lawsuits.  Michigan, a closely watched battleground state, has "one of the most bloated voter rolls in the nation" with 500,000 more registered voters than there are Michiganders of voting age, a local outlet found this week.  The report comes after the Republican National Committee revealed in a lawsuit in March that 53 counties had registration rates of 100% or higher based on U.S. Census data.  "These voter registration rates are abnormally or, in the case of counties with greater than 100% registration, impossibly high," attorneys for the RNC wrote, arguing that the data showed the state's voter list hygiene was not only poor but in violation of the National Voter Registration Act.

How to beat the cheat.  [Scroll down]  After the results of the election of 1960 were posted, my father, a lifelong Democrat, told me that Nixon would have won the presidency had he demanded a recount in Cook County, Illinois.  It seems that, as a youth, my dad "counted" votes in Chicago, where they were instead sorted out and weighed, rather than actually counted.  Standing in the way of sweeping reform for the sake of election integrity is the reality that the United States is a veritable crazy quilt of hundreds of counties, each with its own registrar of voters, plus the fifty sovereign states and their fifty different secretaries of state.  There is, however, a major reform that can drastically make it a lot harder to cheat, and everybody knows about it:  requiring voters to provide a picture ID.  Reaching into their moldy old bag of tricks, the Dems keep trying to brand having to prove who you are as a racist requirement.  Give me a break.

Democrats in Tennessee Now Sounding the Alarm Over Voter Irregularities — Voters Claim Machines Are Flipping Their Votes.  For years, Democrats across the nation have reassured Americans that our elections are "safe and secure."  But in a stunning reversal of their own rhetoric, Democrats in Tennessee are now raising alarms over voter irregularities.  The Shelby County Democratic Caucus held an emergency briefing on Thursday to address disturbing reports that voting machines were flipping votes from Democrat candidates to their Republican rivals.  Democrats like Tennessee State Representatives G.A. Hardaway and Antonio Parkinson, both from Memphis, joined Election Commissioner Vanecia Kimbrow at a press conference to discuss the concerning claims.  The primary issue at hand involves voting machines allegedly switching votes.  According to these officials, multiple voters have reported that when they selected Democrat candidates like Gloria Johnson, the machines instead recorded votes for Republicans, such as Marsha Blackburn.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Sounds the Alarm on Voting Machine Switching Votes in Georgia's 14th District.  Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) took to social media platform X to sound the alarm on a disturbing incident reported by a voter in Whitfield County, Georgia's 14th district.  According to Greene, a constituent in Whitfield County noticed that their printed ballot did not reflect the selections they made on the voting machine, particularly changing their vote away from candidates they had chosen.

DOJ Goes to Bat For Illegal Voting.  The State of Florida is trying to remove noncitizens from its voter rolls.  Joe Biden's Department of Justice is fighting that effort, so Florida has gone to court:  ["]Florida authorities on Oct. 16 sued the U.S. government, alleging that U.S. officials are illegally refusing to cooperate with Florida's effort to remove noncitizens from its voter rolls. [...] ["]  An overwhelming majority of Americans — even most Democrats — want honest elections, but Joe Biden's DOJ is on the side of voter fraud and other forms of illegal voting.  Thus, in a sort of mirror image of the Florida case, Merrick Garland's DOJ is suing the State of Virginia to prevent it from cleaning up its voter rolls: [...] It doesn't take a genius to see what is going on here.  The Democratic Party believes that most illegal votes are cast in its favor, and no doubt the Democrats are right about that.  Merrick Garland's utterly corrupt Department of Justice is, therefore, doing what it can to further illegality in our elections.

Man Discovers Stack of Mail-In Ballots in Storm Drain.  Jay Senese of Sierra Madre, California uncovered nearly a dozen ballots stuffed in a storm drain while doing yard work last Saturday.  This incident, first reported by ABC 7, adds fuel to ongoing debates surrounding election security and potential fraud.  While landscaping near his property, Senese noticed unusual debris in the storm drain adjacent to his house.  Upon closer inspection, he discovered the ballots, which were addressed to residents in nearby Arcadia, California.  "We're trained here to keep stuff out of the storm drain.  So I got down on my hands and knees and dug around a little bit and started pulling it out," Senese told ABC 7.

Illegal Alien Voting in Florida?  The State of Florida and the Florida Department of State (FDOS) filed a lawsuit on October 16 against the Department of Homeland Security about non-citizens and the state's voter rolls.  FDOS alleges that the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) "denied FDOS's request" for "verification of citizenship status for several identified individuals," making it impossible to maintain accurate voter rolls.  On September 10, FDOS sent a letter to Tammy Meckley, associate director of Immigration Records and Identity Services Directorate of the USCIS, "requesting verification of citizenship status for several identified individuals," according to the lawsuit.  However, the response that came back from USCIS was less than forthcoming.

Here We Go Again.  A Republican election judge happened by this scene outside the City Hall in Edina, Minnesota, a Democratic stronghold.  A vehicle parked with its tailgate open, and its trunk full of boxes of ballots:  [Tweet] [...] If those are filled-out ballots, anyone could steal a box or two from the vehicle and trash them.  Those votes then would not count.  There is no reason to think that happened here, but the complete absence of ballot security is troubling, to say the least.  Minnesota is a state where ballots have been found in the trunk of a car after the election.  Oops!  Forget to count them, let's count them now!  Such incidents do not engender confidence in our elections, which is a problem.

Why the Polls Merit Skepticism.  [Scroll down]  However, one major difference clouds this election: mail-in voting.  In 2020, nearly 43% of voters cast their ballots by mail, with Biden winning two-thirds of the mail-in vote.  In Pennsylvania alone, Biden questionably secured 76% of mail-in ballots compared to Trump's 23%.  While mail-in voting may be less widespread this year, it remains significant, particularly in battleground states.  With Democrats pushing for extended mail-in voting and post-Election Day ballot counting, this creates an unpredictable dynamic and raises concerns about potential fraud, bringing us the repeat of 2020.  If 14% of Americans lost package deliveries to theft in 2022, and 0.55% of shipments were stolen in 2023, why would mail-in votes be any different?  With so much power and emotion at stake, the potential for misconduct increases.  This raises questions about the relevance of polling data:  are they irrelevant, or do they serve as a cover, depending on how mail-in ballots are processed and counted?

If Trump Wins, Guess Who Will Be In Charge Of Certifying The Election?  Do you know who will be in charge of certifying this election?  In January 2021, it was Vice-President Mike Pence, and we all remember how that turned out.  Well, an even more interesting scenario is shaping up this time around.  In January 2025, Vice-President Kamala Harris will be in charge of certifying the election.  In other words, if Donald Trump wins the person that he was running against will be in charge of certifying his victory.  This is a major defect in our system, and it could potentially set the stage for widespread chaos if things do not go smoothly.

Georgia Judge Rules New Election Rules Are 'Illegal, Unconstitutional, and Void'.  A Georgia judge ruled that county election board members cannot block the certification of votes based on suspicions of fraud just weeks before the 2024 presidential election.  Fulton County Superior Court Judge Thomas Cox ruled on Wednesday that seven new election rules recently passed by the State Election Board are "illegal, unconstitutional, and void."  The measures had been a controversial subject between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris's surrogates in the battleground state.  The rules, passed last month in a 3-2 vote by the Republican majority on the elections board, had received much attention.  One of them requires that the number of ballots be hand-counted after polls closed on Election Day after being machine tabulated to ensure the totals match.  Two others stated were about the certification of election results.  Cox argued that the rules were "unsupported by Georgia's Election Code and are in fact contrary to the Election Code" and that the State Election Board did not have authority to pass them.  He also blocked requirements for new signatures and photo IDs for people dropping off absentee ballots for others.

RNC Files Lawsuit Against Detroit For Deleting Ballot Box Surveillance Footage.  The RNC filed a lawsuit against the City of Detroit Department of Elections for deleting ballot drop box surveillance footage.  The lawsuit accuses Detroit elections officials of violating the Freedom of Information Act by deleting the footage more than two weeks after they requested it from the city.  "Deleting footage that is the subject of a pending FOIA request — submitted more than two weeks before the footage was deleted — is a clear violation of FOIA," the RNC said, according to CBS News.  "Detroit had a clear legal obligation to preserve and provide the footage, which they violated."

Spoliation of evidence.  The spoliation of evidence is the intentional or negligent withholding, hiding, altering, or destroying of evidence relevant to a legal proceeding. [...] The spoliation inference is a negative evidentiary inference that a finder of fact can draw from a party's destruction of a document or thing that is relevant to an ongoing or reasonably foreseeable civil or criminal proceeding:  the finder of fact can review all evidence uncovered in as strong a light as possible against the spoliator and in favor of the opposing party.

The 2024 Election Will Be Very Different From The Election In 2020.  Taken individually, the following events might not mean much.  However, when they're taken cumulatively, they explain why the United States of America should make history (rather than become history) on November 5, 2024.  COVID is no longer a weapon in the election.  Multiple lawfare cases are backfiring.  Many traditional Democrat constituents (and there's overlap) have had enough of being taken for granted:  Blacks, Hispanics, Catholics, Jews, Asians, and non-government union workers.  Recognizing that its membership supports Trump, many union leaders have chosen not to endorse Harris.  This includes the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the International Association of Fire Fighters.  This means union infrastructure will not assist with Democrat "get out the vote" efforts.

DOJ goes on offense to halt voter roll cleanup.  The Department of Justice's recent lawsuit against Virginia marked the second attempt in as many weeks from the federal government to stop states from cleaning their voter registration lists in the lead-up to the election.  The DOJ's lawsuits against Virginia and Alabama came only after the department had also filed a lawsuit in Wisconsin and intervened in cases in Arizona and Ohio, an aggressive string that is illustrative of the Biden administration's heavy hand in the voting process in the months and weeks before Election Day.  In Virginia and Alabama, the DOJ alleged that election officials' efforts to remove noncitizens from their voter rolls were a violation of a National Voter Registration Act provision that restricts a state from systematically removing people from its voter registration list in the 90 days before an election.  These actions "have likely confused, deterred, and removed U.S. citizens who are fully eligible to vote — the very scenario that Congress tried to prevent when it enacted the Quiet Period Provision," DOJ attorneys wrote in their Virginia complaint.

Mayorkas Stonewalls Ohio's Request To Help Track Foreign Nationals On Voter Rolls.  Nearly three months after Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose first sought access to federal citizenship verification records to help the Buckeye State ensure noncitizens don't vote in the election, U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has yet to respond. [...] LaRose says he has made several appeals to the Biden-Harris administration seeking access to DHS databases, "specifically the Person Centric Query Service (PCQS) database, the Person Centric Identity Services (PCIS) database, and the Central Index System."  Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, has intervened on the secretary of state's behalf, demanding answers from Mayorkas on his failure to assist LaRose in securing Ohio's elections.  Jordan, who serves as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, said the matter is particularly pressing "in light of the open-border policies of the Biden-Harris Administration" that have led to unprecedented millions of illegal immigrants pouring into the United States.  As The Federalist has extensively reported, thousands of foreign nationals have shown up on voters rolls in states across the country, including hundreds of names this year that LaRose has ordered removed from Ohio's voter registration database.

Fulton County Judge Blocks Georgia State Requirement to Hand Count Paper Ballots.  The Georgia state election rule is simple.  Remove the paper ballots from the containers after voting and hand count the number of paper ballots.  The number of paper ballots must match the number of electronically recorded votes and voters.  If it does not there is a problem.  This rule also starts a paper trail putting the physical number of ballots on the record before they reach the Fulton County ballot scanning tabulation center.  It is a simple rule that says the number of ballots must match the number of voters.  Easy peasy.  The purpose of the rule is simple, make sure ballots are not double counted or scanned multiple times at the tabulation center.  However, citing electoral anxiety, January 6th, and the lack of training poll workers on how to count numbers, a Fulton County judge has blocked the hand count.  Apparently counting the number of physical papers is too difficult for Fulton County poll workers... or, there is something else in play.

Former US president Jimmy Carter, 100, casts vote.  Fifteen days after turning 100, former US president Jimmy Carter cast his vote in the US election on Wednesday, fulfilling an earlier declared wish to live long enough to back Kamala Harris in the poll.  The former Democratic leader "voted by mail," according to the Carter Center, the non-profit he founded after he left the White House in 1981 to pursue his vision of world diplomacy.  The centenarian — who left office under a cloud of unpopularity, but has seen his star rise ever since — took advantage of early voting in his home state of Georgia, where he is receiving hospice care.

The Editor says...
Jimmy Carter is almost indistinguishable from a cadaver.  He appeared in a video clip on his 100th birthday, and he showed no signs of life.  And it's safe to presume that his condition hasn't improved in the last 15 days.  He has been in a hospice for a year and a half.  But now, we are told he has voted for Kamala Harris!  A man who appears to be brain dead is in no condition to fill out a ballot.  This is what's known as "ballot harvesting," and it goes on in nursing homes all over the country.  And guess which party benefits.

Officials in States with Cryptographic Algorithms in Voter Rolls Are Not Taking the Problem Seriously.  Research published on GodsFiveStones.com has uncovered secret cryptographic algorithms in the official voter registration databases of New York, Ohio, and Wisconsin.  Unreported findings indicate similar algorithms exist in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Texas.  Despite this, Secretaries of State across these jurisdictions are reluctant to acknowledge or address the issue.  While Ohio's Secretary of State agreed to investigate our claims, no official corrective action has been announced.  Our investigation into New York's voter registration database revealed well-hidden algorithms potentially violating several state and federal laws.  This cryptographic scheme is a dual-use technology: while it might have legitimate applications, it can also be used to satisfy malicious objectives.  We believe one such nefarious use could be to facilitate mail-in ballot election fraud.

Georgia judge blocks ballot counting rule and says county officials must certify election results.  A judge has blocked a new rule that requires Georgia Election Day ballots to be counted by hand after the close of voting.  The ruling came a day after the same judge ruled that county election officials must certify election results by the deadline set in law.

Noncitizens Will Vote In November, The Only Question Is How Many?  Eight years ago, the mainstream media told us in no uncertain terms that noncitizens don't vote in American elections.  "There is no evidence," they said.  The likely number "is zero."  They were provably wrong then — there'd been multiple accounts of noncitizens who'd registered and voted in elections.  In the years since, the evidence of this problem has piled up higher.  But the media are still at it.  It's "extremely rare," they say.  It never "affects the outcome of a race." Republicans are looking to "blame illegals" if Donald Trump loses, etc.  Here's one example of the disconnect.  An audit of Texas voter rolls in 2019 found 95,000 noncitizens who'd registered, 58,000 of whom voted in an election.  This year, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced that he'd removed 6,500 noncitizens from the state's voter rolls, nearly 2,000 of whom voted.  Yet just this weekend, ABC News ran a piece titled: "In South Texas, the myth of noncitizen voting takes center stage."

Leftist Wisconsin AG's Phony 'Fake Electors' Case Continues To Crumble.  Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul's political witch hunt against Trump allies via a phony "fake electors" case is crumbling, propped up by a legal asterisk.  In a stinging court filing that shreds the leftist AG's deeply flawed legal arguments, Madison attorney Joseph Bugni asserts that the problem isn't that the government can't prove its case, "it's that there's not a case to prove."  Bugni represents former long-time attorney and former Dane County Judge Jim Troupis, who served as former President Donald Trump's legal counsel following the disputed 2020 presidential election.  In June, Kaul held a press conference on the Wisconsin State Capitol steps to announce charges against Troupis and his co-defendants, fellow attorney Kenneth Chesebro and political operative Michael Roman, related to what the attorney general and his friends in corporate media have erroneously labeled a "fake electors scheme."

Correcting Many Usurpations.  We know there's going to be cheating in the 2024 election.  The fact that the whole of the communist propaganda establishment of the MSM have shielded past election fraud and are actively denying current evidence of the same, ensures that outcome.  None of the apparatus to cheat in the 2020 election has been dismantled and one-time emergency measures during Covid are still being used though there is no longer any deterrent to people assembling to vote on a single day as always before in the history of the nation.  The larger extent of state governments have simply ignored the issue for four years, overlooking in excess of 100% voter turnout, an impossibility even at 100%, much less at 113%, but it will happen again and no one will take a serious look at the facts of it.  This is not even about election integrity.  This election, if stolen, must be addressed by the people.  This cannot be a method of running a free nation.  Call it anything else you want, but a free nation, it is not.  Hopefully the American ideals of freedom will win out, but I'm not sure of that, either.

How a Federal District Court Judge Weaponized Secret Algorithms to Stop Election Fraud Hidden in State Voter Rolls.  On September 27, 2024, Federal District Court Judge Michael T. Liburdi rendered a decision in American Encore v. Adrian Fontes that weaponized algorithms surreptitiously embedded in various state boards of elections official voter registration database, turning them into a tool to block elections that bear the modus operandi of mail-in ballot election fraud from being certified.  In his decision, Judge Liburdi referenced a provision in the Elections Procedures Manual (EPM) that Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, a Democrat, had issued.  That provision required the Secretary of State to certify an election by excluding the votes of any county that refused to certify an election.  Justice Liburdi quoted the EPM language that became known in Arizona as the "Canvass Provision." [...] Judge Liburdi characterized the rule as "probably unprecedented in the history of the United States" because it "gives the Secretary of State nearly carte blanche authority to disenfranchise the ballots of potentially millions of Americans."

100 Absentee Ballots Mysteriously Go Missing in Michigan.  The Grand Rapid City Clerk's Office has announced that it is resending 100 absentee ballots after the original ballots mysteriously disappeared in the mail.  Grand Rapids City Clerk Joel Hondorp revealed absentee ballots were sent out on September 26 but was later notified by 100 residents in northwest Grand Rapids that they never received them.  Hondrop shared, "It's common for some absentee ballots to get lost because the United States Postal Service has many moving pieces."  He added, "If a voter wants to know what the status of their ballot is, if they haven't received it, they can go to Michigan.gov/vote and they can track their ballot that way."

West Virginia Secretary Of State Demands Feds Answer For 2020 Election Interference.  West Virginia Secretary of State Mac Warner, a Republican, is calling on federal agencies to apologize for their role in suppressing information that could have changed the 2020 election outcome.  He warned the government might do similar things again.  "I want the federal government — one of these agencies, or all these agencies — to admit that there was a problem, and that would be the first step toward restoring confidence in both our federal government and in our elections," Warner told The Federalist.  "If you don't acknowledge the problem, then it's likely to happen again."  Warner said the FBI, CIA, and the Department of Homeland Security's CISA program — the federal government's hub for online censorship — need to acknowledge their role in suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story ahead of the 2020 election.  He said if they refuse to answer for this, they will likely take similar actions before November.

UOCAVA Overseas Votes — Where Applicants Aren't Required to Prove Their Identity or Provide a Legitimate Address!.  By telegraphing to the American people that they believe the key to winning our elections is getting 9 million individuals to vote for Kamala Harris from a pool of 2.4 million eligible overseas voters in total (according to the U.S. government FVAP website), Democrats essentially remove the shock value when it's announced they only achieved a percentage of their goal when it's revealed they received millions of new overseas votes.  [Advertisement]  But as Patty McMurray previously reported at The Gateway Pundit:  "None of the so-called "9 million voters" Democrats claim they are trying to recruit will have to prove their identity or even provide a legitimate address for their past or present residence in the United States."  This leaves the US with another significantly flawed election process and will lead to another questionable outcome.

J.D. Vance Has An Even Stronger Case For A Rigged 2020 Election In The Number Of Illegal Ballots.  [Scroll down]  This exchange proves key to understanding why Vance refuses to say, "Donald Trump lost the 2020 election," and why the liberal press continues to demand an answer to that question.  The query includes an undefined term — "lost" — which holds a different meaning to Trump supporters and to the anti-Trump inquisitors.  If "lost" merely meant Biden is the president of the United States, then that's an easy answer:  Yes, of course, Trump lost, as Biden was inaugurated and has spent the last 3.5 years in the Oval Office.  But that's not what those demanding Vance say Trump lost mean by "lost."  Every person posing this question injects within the concept of "lost" a concession that Trump's 2020 challenges were frivolous, unfounded, or wrong.  That's why they pose the question and why Vance won't provide a "yes" — because that is not what Vance and many other American's believe.  If asked whether Trump "lost" the 2020 election, meaning that if all legal votes were counted and all illegal counts discarded — and the counting was done legally pursuant to controlling election law — the answer by Trump supporters would be a resounding "I don't know."

The DOJ sues Virginia to force the state to maintain non-citizens on the voting rolls.  The Harris-Biden administration claims that Americans who object to the millions of illegal aliens who have flooded America, especially during the last 3.75 years, are hate-filled racists.  In reality, Americans who object are pragmatists:  They know that America is stable only with an enforceable border and the rule of law, and they know that the Democrats are trying to game elections with illegal aliens.  As to that last point, nothing more perfectly illustrates it than the fact that the DOJ just sued Virginia to force it to keep non-citizens on the voting rolls.  Virginia has laws requiring the state to clean its voting rolls.  Per §24.2-427B. mandates that "The general registrar shall promptly cancel the registration of (i) all persons known by him to be deceased; (ii) all persons known by him to be disqualified to vote by reason of a felony conviction or adjudication of incapacity; (iii) all persons known by him not to be United States citizens," with that last point listing various ways to determine whether someone is not a citizen.  Under §24.2-428, the state election department has an obligation to conduct "regular periodic review of registration records."

Texas Elections Chief Tells Poll Workers To Give Ballots To People Who Show Noncitizen IDs.  New guidance from Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson directs election workers to accept noncitizen driver's licenses as voter identification, despite the fact that noncitizens are ineligible to vote in American elections.  Guidance issued Tuesday by Nelson's office and initialed by Director of Elections Christina Adkins instructs poll workers to give a regular ballot to individuals who are on the voter rolls even if they present a limited-term driver's license or ID card as their form of identification.  The Texas Department of Public Safety issues "limited-term driver's licenses" or identification cards to individuals who are legally residing in the state but are not citizens.  The license and identification card are denoted by either "Temporary Visitor" or "Limited-Term."  The guidance instructs election officials to "inform" the individual that the "identification presented suggests that the individual is not a United States citizen" and that it is illegal for noncitizens to vote.

The Editor says...
Each election judge should be provided with a big red rubber stamp to mark the illegal aliens' ballots "VOID," just to eliminate any misunderstanding during the inevitable recount.

Arizona Will Allow Over 200,000 People With Unconfirmed Citizenship to Vote.  With just weeks before the 2024 presidential elections, securing a fair and honest election should be the top priority for states — except for Arizona.  Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes is moving forward with allowing 218,000 people with unconfirmed citizenship to vote in the federal election despite concerns illegal immigrants have been peddled into the U.S. to boost votes for the Democratic candidate.  Under 2024 state law, Fontes revealed the number of registered voters but never provided the required legal proof of citizenship.  The Democrat revealed last week that that number had doubled, describing it as an "evolving situation." Just one week ago, the number was 97,928.

The not so great pyramids.  [Scroll down]  The pyramids also affect our elections and political campaigns.  It starts with an unwillingness by secretaries of state to clean the voter rolls.  So the voter rolls are filled with dead people, people who have moved, and people who are not American citizens.  Each one of these fictitious voters disenfranchises one real voter.  I can't think of any reason not to clean and purge the voter rolls, unless it is to cheat in an election.  One of the jobs of the secretary of state is to ensure fair elections, so why does it take threats of judicial action to force Democrat secretaries of states to clean voter rolls?  And why are they so adamant to remove people?  Add to this scenario mail-in ballots, machine counting, and election results that cannot be audited or certified, because they exist in electronic form not physical ballots.

Bogus Ballots Targeted by This New Organization.  This election could come down to one or two toss-up states captured by a relative handful of problematic mail-in ballots.  Unlike normal ballots, which precinct workers personally hand to and collect from actual voters, mail-in ballots have zero chain of custody.  County clerks or independent printers haul truckloads of ballots to U.S. Postal Service facilities.  Letter carriers deliver them as addressed.  Most of these ballots find actual voters, but others reach questionable or even unqualified locations, directed to phantom "voters" who have moved away, passed on, or never even existed.  Left-wing nongovernmental organizations, or NGOs, harvest, complete, and submit these ballots at election offices.  They also deposit them in unsupervised drop boxes.  This "one time only" measure — implemented during 2020's COVID-19 horror — has become as unshakable as lampreys.

Biden-Harris DOJ Sues Virginia For Removing Noncitizens From Voter Rolls.  [Scroll down]  The lawsuit comes two months after Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin (R) issued an executive order that codifies election security procedures to protect the 2024 election against intentional fraud.  Governor Youngkin's policies include:
  ◦   We use 100% paper ballots with a strict chain of custody.
  ◦   We use counting machines, not voting machines, that are tested prior to every election and never connected to the internet.
  ◦   We do not mass mail ballots.
  ◦   We monitor our drop boxes 24/7.
  ◦   We verify the legal presence and identity of voters using DMV data and other trusted data sources to update our voter rolls daily.

Trump won't appear in Oregon voters' informational pamphlet.  Former President Donald Trump won't appear on a voters' pamphlet mailed across Oregon because the 2024 GOP nominee missed the deadline to submit a statement in the informational guide, officials said.  Trump, along with his running mate Ohio Sen. JD Vance, will still be on the state's ballot in his quest to retake the White House this November, but will be one of three presidential candidates that won't show up in the booklet recently sent out to 3 million voters, according to reports.  Along with not submitting a candidate statement, his campaign did not fork over a fee of $3,500, the Oregon Capitol Chronicle reported last month.  "Please be aware that Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump and Vice-Presidential candidate JD Vance will not appear in the voters' pamphlet for the upcoming November 2024 General Election," Jackson County Clark Christine Walker said, according to the Rogue Valley Times.  "The campaign declined to submit candidate statements by the filing deadline along with the required filing fee to the Oregon Secretary of State Office."

Georgia Election Board Subpoenas All 2020 Election Records from Fulton County.  The Georgia State Election Board it working overtime in an attempt to investigate the controversial 2020 election and to clean up the future elections in the state.  However, officials in Fulton County continue to refuse to work with State Election Board.  But that may soon change.  The Georgia State Election Board voted 3-2 to subpoena ALL of the election records from Fulton County during the 2020 election.  This will not turn out well for Fulton County.

Could the Hurricane Response be Election Interference?  What about reducing GOP voters via slow-walking rescue and relief efforts in the GOP strongholds most severely hit by the recent hurricane?  Am I peddling a far-fetched conspiracy theory?  Let's look at circumstantial evidence.  If you want definitive proof, good luck finding it.  The election system is too convoluted for that.  Scott Adams accurately tweeted, "Our election systems are designed to make it impossible to know who won.  Our brainwashers tell us the opposite."  Courts cannot resolve cheating claims.  Who knows what postal workers do with discarded or filled-out mail-in ballots.  Are registered voters legally allowed to vote?  Are overseas ballots cast by actual Americans or even real people?  Are fake ballots being counted?  How many times?  These are not flaws but instead features of our electoral system.  It is too convoluted for anyone to observe and understand, much like the tax code.  This is by design, allowing the administrative/media/establishment state to choose our elected officials, including the president.  What is the circumstantial evidence of hurricane election interference?  It is beyond incompetence, instead a deliberate effort to hamper rescue efforts.

There Is No Legal Justification For Michigan Keeping RFK Jr.'s Name On The Ballot.  With the prosecutions of former President Donald Trump, attempts to deprive John Eastman of his law license, and the absurd contempt proceedings against Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro, Americans now understand that something is dreadfully wrong with our legal system.  Recently, the ongoing destruction of our legal system has moved to the Great Lakes State.  There, a legal dispute arose after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. withdrew from the presidential race and petitioned Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson to remove his name from the ballot.  In a sane world, Benson would have removed Kennedy's name upon receipt of his petition.  But Benson is a far-left radical who fancies herself a "guardian" of democracy.  She even wrote a self-congratulatory book to that effect.  Thus, she refused.

Communists Out of the Closet.  While Democrats most obviously flung open the border to give themselves a new voting base, they needn't wait until those illegal aliens are made legal through amnesty and an easy path to citizenship.  Instead, there is a little-known provision in federal law that will not penalize non-citizens for voting if, at the time, they thought they were US citizens!  (Title 18 U.S.C. Section 611 (c)3).  How does one adjudicate someone's frame of mind in that case?  Of course, you can't.  Who will find those ballots and dispose of them?  Not the Democrats.

The 2020 Theft Saved This Country.  First let's state the obvious:  of course Trump won in 2020.  The statistics are overwhelming.  Leftists often try to use statistics to "prove" racial discrimination in all sorts of situations.  For some reason, they don't seem to have the same desires and statistical certitude regarding the overwhelming statistical evidence that Trump won.  Combine this with the truckload of obvious — and unexplainable — shenanigans across many states and it is clear the rightful winner was Trump. [...] If Trump's win had been acknowledged he would have been President the last 3.5 years.  A whole lot of bad things in this country and across the globe wouldn't have happened.  But they did.  But these actions and their results have acted as a catalyst to real change.

The opposite of truth is not just lies, it is chaos.  When Joe Biden was faux-running for the presidency from his basement, he knew the fix was in, because it was.  The thoroughly corrupt mainstream media was delighted to use their vast reach to repeat all the lies the Democrats came up with to destroy Trump.  The 2020 election was rigged and everyone knows it, even all those media tools of the left who pretend to this day that that election was legitimate.  They love to claim that "every judge who looked at the evidence refused to take the numerous legal cases the Trump campaign filed."  But no judge ever looked at the volumes of evidence; they all denied the cases had standing.  They were all too cowardly to actually look at the evidence available, to expose the truth.  The Democrats' guilt on this score probably explains their obsession with trying to make any and all Republicans admit that Biden won fairly even though they know he did not.  They know the truth.  Molly Ball bragged about it.  They all know that Democrat lawyer Mark Elias went across the country surreptiously changing election laws.  They know that social media magnate Mark Zuckerberg funneled $400 million into those drop boxes that were stuffed by mules with thousands of fraudulent ballots.  They all know that on election night, Trump was so far ahead the counting of ballots was stopped for hours.  They needed time to come up with the ballots needed to produce a Biden win.  They all know this is what happened.  They all lied and continue to lie.

Video Shows A Mexican Illegal In Phoenix Registering Other Illegals To Vote.  Video obtained by @realmuckraker shows what has been called a "conspiracy theory," until now.  In Phoenix, Arizona a liberal, Mexican man in a grocery store offered to knowingly register a non-citizen DACA recipient to vote.  The same man went on to tell the DACA recipient to bring his friends to get registered as well.  [Video clip]

You've Been Warned:  Dominion Voting Machines Need Scrutiny.  In short, a local chapter of the Georgia GOP (DeKalb County) attempted to convince an Atlanta trial court judge that he should issue a "writ of mandamus" — essentially a court order ordering an official to do their job — ordering Georgia's Republican elected Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, to ensure that Dominion voting systems are secure. [...] [T]he most notable thing about Raffensperger's lawyerly and procedure-based defenses was that at no time did Raffensperger's team even attempt to argue that Dominion voter machines were, in fact, secure.  Expert testimony was given that explained that the master encryption keys are stored in an easily accessible portion of a database stored on the machines.  Raffensperger's lawyers offered no expert testimony of their own to contradict the claim.  And their cross-examination of the DeKalb GOP's experts also did not even attempt to poke holes in this claim.

RNC Does Not Have a Single Election Attorney to Prevent Voter Fraud in Arizona.  The RNC appears to be doing nothing about election integrity concerns and election law violations in Arizona, where Democrats are gearing up for another rigged election following the obviously stolen 2020 and 2022 elections.  One would think that after 60% of machines in the state's largest county were programmed to fail in 2022, disenfranchising thousands of Republicans and stealing statewide elections, the RNC would ramp up efforts to ensure Arizona's elections are fair in 2024.  Last month, it was revealed that the state had failed to verify the citizenship of 218,000 registered voters.

RNC Sues Fulton County Elections Director for Refusing to Hire Republican Poll Workers.  The Republican National Committee (RNC), along with the Georgia Republican Party and the Fulton County Republican Party, has filed a lawsuit against Nadine Williams, the Director of Fulton County Department of Registration & Elections.  The lawsuit alleges that Williams intentionally excluded qualified Republican poll workers from the hiring process for the upcoming November 2024 election, hiring only 15 Republicans out of 804 total election staff.  The lawsuit, filed in Fulton County Superior Court, seeks an emergency writ of mandamus, demanding Williams immediately appoint the Republican poll workers that were submitted for consideration.  Under Georgia law, political parties are entitled to submit lists of qualified individuals to serve as poll workers, and election officials are required to ensure balanced representation from both parties at polling places.

Arizona Supreme Court Green-Lights Ranked-Choice Voting Ballot Initiative Riddled With Duplicate Signatures.  On Friday, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that votes cast for a pro-ranked-choice voting constitutional amendment in the 2024 election will count — even though nearly 38,000 signatures supporting the amendment proposal were duplicates.  In its decision, the Grand Canyon State's high court rejected a challenge seeking to have votes cast for Proposition 140 voided after a lower court special master disclosed that 37,657 pairs of signatures gathered in support of the measure were duplicates.  As previously argued by the Arizona Free Enterprise Club (AZFEC), the finding "place[s] Proposition 140 thousands of signatures under the constitutionally required signature threshold to qualify for the [November] ballot."

Lawsuit: Arizona's Elections Chief Is Hiding Info On 218K Voters Lacking Proof Of Citizenship.  Arizona's Democrat elections chief is illegally withholding the identities of approximately 218,000 registered voters on the state's voter rolls who lack documentary proof of citizenship (DPOC), a lawsuit filed Wednesday alleges.  Brought by the Strong Communities Foundation of Arizona (SCFA) against Democrat Secretary of State Adrian Fontes and the Arizona Department of State, the legal challenge "seeks to restore public trust in [Arionza's] electoral system by ensuring transparency about the Defendants' failures to ensure that registered voters have provided DPOC, as required by law."  The group is represented by America First Legal and a law firm spearheaded by former Arizona Assistant Attorney General Jennifer Wright.

Pennsylvania Closes Down Voter Registration on Night of Trump's Return to Butler.  The swing state of Pennsylvania's voter registration system will be closed on the night of former President Donald Trump's return rally in Butler, the site of the July 13 assassination attempt against him.  The Republican nominee announced Sept. 25 that he is holding another rally in Butler on Oct. 5, just three months after a gunman shot the former president at a rally there, wounding him in the ear.  "This website will undergo scheduled system maintenance and be unavailable Saturday, October 5th 10 p.m. until October 6th 4 a.m," the Pennsylvania Voter Registration website says.  "We thank you for your understanding."

Unrigging Our Elections.  Just days after the shocking news of a second assassination attempt against Donald Trump, early voting started all over the country.  Absentee mail-in ballots are already going out to registered voters.  After all the controversies about the outcome of the 2020 election, the question naturally arises: what is the state of election integrity across the United States, and how secure will the 2024 election be?  While we are generally in better shape nationally than we were last time, much depends on what state you live and vote in.  That is because the security of the election process depends almost entirely on state laws and regulations, as executed by state and local election officials.  It also depends on state attorneys general and secretaries of state.  Are they willing to enforce good state election laws like voter ID? Or are they willing to violate their oaths of office and enter into collusive settlements with their political allies to waive requirements they dislike when they're sued by partisan organizations like the League of Women Voters?

In Blow To Transparency, Michigan Election Officials Limit Disclosure Of Absentee Voting Data.  The Michigan Bureau of Elections (BOE) issued a critical change in its disclosure of absentee ballot records last week, according to an email from FOIA Coordinator Sherri Hines.  The missive, sent to organizations with standing requests for absentee voter data, announced the BOE will no longer provide certain key data fields essential for election monitoring.  The message from the BOE, a division of the Michigan Department of State, indicated that "Daily AV" (absentee voter) reports — which included data related to absentee ballot applications sent and received, as well as ballots returned by voters — will no longer be available in their current form under FOIA requests.  Instead, the reports are being replaced by information limited to ballots "issued but not returned" and "ballots cast before Election Day," which includes returned absentee ballots and early voting.

Former Colorado county clerk Tina Peters sentenced to 9 years in election breach case.  Tina Peters, a former county clerk in Colorado who was found guilty in connection with an election security breach at her office in 2021, drew a nine-year prison sentence during a court appearance Thursday.  The sentencing of the one-time Mesa County, Colo., clerk came less than two months after she was convicted on charges of attempting to influence a public official, conspiracy to commit criminal impersonation, first-degree official misconduct, violation of duty and failure to comply with Colorado Secretary of State requirements.

Former Mesa, CO Clerk and Gold Star Mother Tina Peters Sentenced to 9 Years in Latest Political Persecution.  In yet another blatant display of political persecution, former Mesa County, Colorado Clerk Tina Peters, 68 — a gold star mother — has been sentenced to 9 years in prison.  After bravely raising questions about election irregularities, Peters was relentlessly pursued by local and federal authorities, culminating in charges that were politically motivated from the outset.  Peters' crime?  Exposing the truth about what happened in the 2020 election.  Last month, Tina Peters was found guilty on seven of ten charges for preserving critical election data. [...] Tina Peters is the Election Clerk from Mesa County, Colorado.  She made a copy of her machines' information before performing the action requested by Griswald, who demanded that all voting machines's election data should be erased (which is against the law) after the 2020 election.

North Carolina Election Board Sued to Ensure Only Eligible Citizens Can Vote.  The nonprofit election integrity group Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections (RITE) has filed a lawsuit against the North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE), aimed to ensure that eligible citizens, and eligible citizens only, can vote in the state's elections, per the state's constitution.  The group made this announcement in a Wednesday press release, explaining that North Carolina's constitution "specifically requires individuals to reside in the state in order to vote."  The issue centers around a state statute, which RITE says conflicts with the state's constitution, as it allows "those to vote who claim to be citizens but have never resided in North Carolina or even the United States."

The 'Most Secure Election in History' Means Remote Access From Serbia and Using 10 Year Old Passwords.  Remember when they told us we had the "most secure election in history?"  What they meant was our elections were accessed remotely from Belgrade, Serbia, on systems that have used the same basic passwords (like dvscorp08!, literally) for over 10 years.  [Tweet with video clip]  These are just a few nuggets about the 2020 Election that came to light during the first hearing in DeKalb County Republican Party, Inc. v. Brad Raffensperger, a lawsuit trying to force the Secretary of State to do his job, follow the law, and secure the 2024 Election in Georgia.  The case is not about 2020, but the consequences of that stolen election reverberate still.  Had the cheating not been so brazen, and gone undetected like in so many other elections, we wouldn't know just how insecure our elections are.  Which brings us to the encryption keys, and the egregious lack of security of electronic voting systems, which is the basis for the lawsuit against Raffensperger. [...]

How Can Trump Win When Democrats Have 30 Million Immigrant-Invaders To Vote Against Him?  Democrats are passing laws to make sure that a non-citizen who just walked across the border has a vote equal to a United States native-born citizen.  Immigrant-invaders are given federal IDs which entitle them to drivers' licenses.  Many jurisdictions automatically enroll driver license recipients on the voting list.  Two days ago California's Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom signed a bill preventing local governments from requiring voters to present identification at the polls.  The Democrat California government has made it a felony to prevent election fraud. [...] The Democrats are the party of the immigrant-invaders, and tens of millions of [ignorant] white Americans will vote for the party of immigrant-invaders.  It is even worse than that.  The Biden/Kamala Regime are using our taxpayers dollars to finance NGOs to recruit from 150 countries immigrant invaders and to provide them with transportation, to Latin America and with food, water, medical care, and sleeping quarters as they march to our border.  When Washington's recruits of immigrant-invaders reach the border, federal and local authorities are required to let them in.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger [has been] Served At Home in Latest Lawsuit.  On September 26, Georgia citizens filed suit in Federal Court against Brad Raffensperger, Georgia Secretary of State.  The plaintiffs argued that according to data from Georgia state voter rolls and U.S. Postal Service (USPS), there are many individuals who have moved out of the state, but remain registered to vote in Georgia.  This violates the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).  Their suit demands that Raffensperger follow the NVRA and Georgia law to maintain accurate and timely registrations in Georgia's voter rolls.  The lawsuit seeks to enforce laws that protect Georgians' right to vote from dilution.  The plaintiffs in the suit are William Quinn and David Cross from Georgia.  Georgia's current voter rolls contain thousands of invalid registrations because the voters in question either permanently moved out of state and are no longer citizens of Georgia or permanently moved to a different county in Georgia from the county in which they are presently registered.

Biden's Department of (In)Justice sues to keep ineligible voters on Alabama rolls.  The Biden-Harris administration's Department of (In)Justice recently sued Alabama — and its top election official — after the state had the temerity to remove thousands of noncitizens from its voter rolls.  According to the DO(I)J, the removal of ineligible voters violated federal law because it was done too close to Election Day.  Sure.  You bet.  Now tell us the one about the three bears.  The Biden-Harris Department of Injustice didn't — and doesn't — want the noncitizens removed from the state's voter rolls because doing so could adversely affect Democrats.  Period.  Call me a skeptic, but you must know that ineligible voters are Democrats' favorite kind — and their most reliable voting bloc.  Remarkably, it appears that nearly 100% of ineligible voters vote for Democrats.  The truth is, Democrats want to add as many illegal aliens — and other traditionally ineligible persons — as possible to the voter rolls of every state.  They want convicted felons to be allowed to vote.  And they don't want the dead taken off the rolls, either!

Five US Congressmen Sue PA Election Officials After They Tell Clerks To Exclude Any Verification Requirements For Overseas Voter Applicants.  The Democratic Party is moving full-steam ahead with their stated scheme to find (create?) a stunning new 1.7 million Democratic UOCAVA (Uniformed Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act) voters in 7 swing states who are living, working, or traveling overseas during the election season. [...] Here's the problem with the DNC's stated goal:  The DNC's stated goal of winning the votes of approximately 9 million Americans through its Democrats Abroad website seems impossible, given that according to a recent report by the federal government FVAP website, only 4.4 million US citizens reside overseas, and only 2.8 million of those are of voting age.

Protecting Citizens Against Noncitizen Voting:  What's a State To Do?  Federal law prohibits noncitizens (resident aliens as well as illegal immigrants) from voting in federal elections.  Most state constitutions note that voting is for U.S. and state citizens, but many do not ban noncitizen voting or use the words "citizens only."  Although federal laws prohibit noncitizen voting, they do not have specific or meaningful enforcement provisions from registration process through to voting.  No documentary proof of citizenship is required to register to vote.  What can a state do?  There are actions that governors, attorney's general, secretaries of state, and state legislators can take.  Because the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (aka "motor voter") currently prevents states from verifying citizenship at registration, it must be done at the 'back end" of the process — after registration.

Dominion and Georgia Face Heat in Court.  Questions raised about Dominion voting machines finally got the best form of sunlight today — sworn testimony in open court subject to cross-examination.  Election security experts Clay Parikh and Ben Cotton testified in Fulton County (Atlanta) Superior Court today.  They testified that they were able to identify the master encryption passwords stored in plain text and unsecured on the databases housed in Dominion voting machines.  They further testified that basic security protocols call for these passwords to be kept separate and secret so that only authorized persons can access them.  This information was turned over to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in March 2024 at the latest, according to the lawyers at the hearing.  The allegations, if true, are explosive and have deep ramifications going back years.  Many claims of election voting machine issues have been either overstated or outright fabricated, which has done much to discredit any legitimate attempts to increase election confidence.

Chaos As Cover.  If you think Trump and his MAGA minions were attacked and brutalized under sleepy Joe, you can't even imagine the level of hostility to be brought against them post November 5th.  Should Trump win; by some massive failure of the left, or "too big to rig" actual overwhelming of the ballot box, it will probably be a short-lived victory for he will become target number one of every crackpot and government agency goon in the current administration.  They've already proved they can coordinate nut jobs with lax security to produce the desired effect.  [Multiply] that by 1000 and you might understand the situation accurately.  With all of these crackpots and enemy agents activated post election, it will be something to awaken even more and importantly, expose those law enforcement agencies already on the wrong side of the republic.  It is an election of no serious consequence as to the future.  It is bleak no matter how one turns it, but this is why I encourage the masses to vote, to absolve themselves of the slightest hesitance toward self-defense.

Shadow Leftist Organization Is Accused of Committing Large Scale Democrat Voter Fraud in Michigan.  A shadow leftist group is committing large-scale voter fraud in Michigan.  The far-left group "The Voter Project Michigan" is sending blank absentee ballot applications to tens of thousands of Michigan voters who did not request them in the mail.  Along with the Michigan ballot application, the recipients receive a message from soulless Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and a letter promoting Democrat causes.  The suspicious far-left group, Voter Project Michigan, does not have a website.

Leaked Conversation Between Arizona's Democrat Gov, Attorney General, and Secretary of State Reveals Attempt to Cover Up 98,000 Voter Registration Glitch.  A newly leaked phone call between Arizona's Democratic statewide officeholders reveals how they scrambled to find a narrative before announcing a statewide error that validated the citizenship of nearly 100,000 voters.  "It's going to validate all of their theories about illegal voting in our elections," said Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs on the call obtained by the Washington Post.  "They're going to be calling for new 2020 and '22 elections as well," Hobbs worried, referencing her own election that she rigged and stole from Kari Lake last midterm cycle.  Democrat Attorney General Kris Mayes admitted that "all of these elections are challengeable" as a result of the state not verifying voters' citizenship.  Still, it is unclear who leaked the phone call.  This could have been a staged phone call and "leak" to the regime media in order to make it seem as though the officials were doing their best to ensure election integrity and transparency.

DOJ Sues Alabama for Removing Noncitizens From Voter Rolls Too Close to Election.  The Department of Justice on Friday sued Alabama and its top election official for violating the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 because the state made an effort to clean its voter rolls too close to Election Day.  In mid-August, Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen had identified 3,251 individuals registered to vote in the state who were given noncitizen identification numbers by the Department of Homeland Security and had instructed the boards of registrars in the state's 67 counties to inactivate and remove them from the voter rolls, a move that has reportedly "ensnared newly naturalized Americans."  "I have been clear that I will not tolerate the participation of noncitizens in our elections," Allen said at the time.  "I have even gone so far as to testify before a United States Senate Committee regarding the importance of this issue.  We have examined the current voter file in an attempt to identify anyone who appears on that list that has been issued a noncitizen identification number."  The DOJ said if states clean their voter rolls, federal law requires it to be done more than 90 days before an election.

After Kamala's Border Visit, Biden-Harris Admin Sues to Keep Illegals on Voter Rolls.  On Friday, the same day that Kamala Harris had her photo op at the southern border, where she pretended to take the issue of border security seriously, the Biden-Harris Justice Department announced that it is suing the state of Alabama for its efforts to remove illegal immigrants from its voter rolls.  "The Justice Department announced a lawsuit Friday against Alabama, arguing the state's effort to remove noncitizens from its voter rolls came too close to the November election," reports the Washington Times. "The department asked a federal judge to order Alabama to put the names — which the state says are ineligible voters — back on the active voter lists.  The department said some actual citizens were sent notices that they had been moved to the inactive voter file."

Is This How Democrats Are Hoping to Steal Arizona in November?  Remember when Democrats pushed back against new laws aimed at banning illegal immigrants from voting, insisting that "it's already illegal" and dismissing concerns as nothing more than a conspiracy theory?  Well, surprise, surprise — reports have proven yet another "conspiracy theory" right.  The Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project and the guerilla journalists at Muckraker have teamed up to unearth a little scheme down in Arizona — registering illegal aliens to vote.  And shocker, I wonder which political party those new "voters" might be supporting?  I'll give you one guess, and I bet you'll get it right.

Fed Judge Bars Lib AZ SoS Adrian Fontes' Disastrous Election Rules.  In an awesome win for conservatives and election integrity in November's elections, a federal judge has barred liberal Arizona Democrat Secretary of State Adrian Fontes from putting into practice new rules he inserted into the state's official procedures on the state's canvassing process of election results.  And the judge did, indeed, compare it to nukes. [...] The best part, though, was when Liburdi chastised Fontes for his office's lame excuse for needing the rule; Fontes claimed "the provision was meant largely to spur county supervisors to comply with the law and likely would never be enforced."  The judge wasn't having it:  "A nuclear weapon does not become any less dangerous simply because a world leader avows never to unleash it. [...]"

Illegal Aliens Living in Phoenix, Arizona Apartment Complex Admit Being Registered to Vote.  This is why the Biden-Harris Regime ferried in more than 15 million illegal aliens over the last 3 years.  Non-citizens and illegal aliens living at the Los Vecinos apartment complex in Phoenix, Arizona admitted to being registered to vote, according to undercover video posted by the Oversight Project.  "Just out of curiosity, are you registered to vote?" a Real Muckraker reporter asked the illegal.  "Yes, we've already registered," the illegal said.

Get Ready for Another Mail-In Ballot Fiasco.  Many states are sending out mail-in ballots now for the Nov. 5 presidential election.  Yet at the same time that so many more voters are depending on the mail to cast their ballots, the two leading national organizations of election officials wrote the U.S. Postal Service to demand immediate action to avoid confusion and chaos with mail-in ballots.  "We implore you to take immediate and tangible corrective action to address the ongoing performance issues with USPS election mail service," wrote the National Association of State Election Directors and the National Association of Secretaries of State.  "Failure to do so will risk limiting voter participation and trust in the election process."  According to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, mail-in ballots accounted for 43% of the electorate in 2020, an increase of 20 percentage points from 2016.  The letter's list of problems should alarm anyone thinking of voting through the mail instead of going to a polling place to vote in person.

North Carolina Purges 747,000 Names From Voter Rolls.  The North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE) reportedly removed 747,000 names from the battleground state's voter rolls within the past 20 months, officials announced Thursday.  Most people removed from North Carolina's voter rolls were deemed ineligible to vote after moving from one county in the state to another while failing to register their new address, according to The Hill.  Others taken off voter rolls did not participate in the 2016 and 2020 federal elections.

Waging War Against Their Own.  With Democrats and RINOs determined to make fraudulent elections a feature of the republic, it's time for Americans, true Americans, to push back hard.  This is no longer a republic.  The inaction on securing the vote has ensured that fact.  This is not a democracy, either, for the same reason.  They disdain the vote and both sides are desperate to remove the need for one, eliminating the people's voice from the process.  The government, in effect, encourages voting fraud by registering to vote those ineligible to vote through intentional acts.  An "intentional act" can be perceived as failing to adequately vet the eligibility of the voter prior to registering them to vote.  In all cases, any county, state, local or federal official who takes part in such acts is acting under color of law. [...] In this case, the DMV in Texas and other places were allowing illegals to register to vote when they obtained driver's licenses, also illegal, without the appropriate documentation to do so.  Many of these illegals, pushed into our states and cities by a rogue administration in Washington determined to allow them to vote to secure an election by illegal means, had abandoned their passports and other identifying documents to purposely enter the United States with an undetermined record of previous violations of law.  An act for which, alone, should have denied admittance.

Voting technology firm, conservative outlet reach settlement in 2020 election defamation case.  A settlement has been reached in a defamation lawsuit pitting an electronic voting machine manufacturer targeted by allies of former President Donald Trump against a conservative news outlet that aired accusations of vote manipulation in the 2020 election.  Newsmax on Thursday confirmed a deal had been reached but further details were not disclosed.  Smartmatic, the voting machine company, has claimed that Newsmax program hosts and guests made false and defamatory statements in November and December 2020 implying that Smartmatic participated in rigging the results and that its software was used to switch votes.

October September Surprises!.  An October surprise is usually defined as the well-known (and more often left-wing) tactic of manufacturing or unloading a news story right before voting to surprise a rival without allowing them time sufficiently to respond or recover.  Think of the last-minute bombshell disclosure, five days before the 2000 election, that candidate George W. Bush had been cited for drunk driving over a quarter-century earlier.  That surprise may have cost Bush the popular vote that year.  Sometimes, an incumbent can use his powers of office to warp the election.  Joe Biden benefited before the 2022 midterm elections when leftist activists leaked the impending Supreme Court repeal of Roe v. Wade.  Closer to the actual voting, Biden sought to cancel hundreds of billions of dollars of student debt owed to the federal government.  He also began draining the strategic petroleum reserve to lower gas prices (as he is doing again this election year as well).  No wonder the predicted Republican midterm red wave ended up a tiny ripple.

People Ask Why Democrats Vote Against Election Integrity Assurances.  Researchers writing in the peer-reviewed Electoral Studies journal in 2014 estimated that 6.4 percent of noncitizens voted in the 2008 election.  The 2014 paper Do non-citizens Vote in U.S. Elections? notes that while there is a legal ban on non-citizens voting, "enforcement depends principally on disclosure of citizenship status at the time of voter registration."  The study authors found that noncitizen voters favored Democratic Party candidates and voted in sufficient numbers to change the composition of both the Electoral College and Congress.

Trump-Hating Colorado Secretary Of State Loses Another Election Integrity Battle.  Jena Griswold, Colorado's rabidly leftist Secretary of State who will forever be known for her anti-democratic drive to knock former President Donald Trump off the ballot, has suffered another election law loss in federal court.  The U.S. District Court for the Colorado District last week issued an order demanding the Democrat secretary of state release Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) reports suspected of containing dead registrants on the state's voter rolls.  The reports, according to a settlement, include individuals who may have died within the past three years.  It's another significant election integrity victory for the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), and another stunning loss for election transparency-stifling Griswold and ERIC.  "PILF has knocked down ERIC's wall of secrecy in the voter list maintenance process," J. Christian Adams, president of the election integrity watchdog organization, said in a press release.  "States cannot use third parties to hide election records that the public has a right to see."

They Checked "Not a Citizen," Still Got Registered to Vote.  Non-citizens being added to state voter rolls through motor vehicle departments has become a significant issue, particularly since the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, as reported by Just the News.  J. Christian Adams, President of the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), has raised concerns about non-citizens registering to vote, even after explicitly stating their non-citizen status.  He pointed out, "We have hundreds where they actually mark on the form, 'hello, not a citizen,' and they still get registered to vote."  This issue spans several states, with many non-citizens being added to voter rolls through the motor voter process, typically handled by Departments of Motor Vehicles (DMV).  According to Adams, even legal residents have been inadvertently swept into the system.

Oklahoma Removes 450,000 Ineligible Voters From Rolls, Including More Than 5,000 Felons.  Oklahoma election officials have removed more than 450,000 ineligible voters from the state's rolls ahead of November's election.  "Voting is our most sacred duty as Americans — and every Oklahoman wants to know their vote is securely cast and properly counted," said Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt in a press release.  State election officials have removed 453,000 total ineligible voters since 2021, Stitt's office announced Wednesday.  As part of "routine voter list maintenance," the state has removed 5,607 felons, 14,993 duplicate registrations, 97,065 dead voters, and 143,682 voters who moved out of state, according to the release.  During address verification, officials also canceled 194,962 inactive voters.

Arizona Supreme Court: 98,000 People with Unconfirmed Citizenship Can Vote.  The Arizona Supreme Court ruled that almost 98,000 people whose citizenship papers have not been confirmed are allowed to vote in state and local races.  The ruling was handed down on Friday, according to the Associated Press.  The outlet noted that the decision came "after officials uncovered a database error that, for two decades, mistakenly designated the voters as having access to the full ballot."  [Advertisement]  The report also said those individuals were already entitled to vote in federal races regardless of the court's decision.  [Advertisement]  The database error highlighted the problem with those voters' citizenship statuses, Fox News reported on Friday.  The outlet said it affected people "who obtained their driver's licenses before October 1996 and subsequently received duplicates before registering to vote after 2004."  [Advertisement]  Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer (R) and Secretary of State Adrian Fontes (D) did not see eye to eye on what status those particular voters should have, the AP article explained.  [Advertisement]

Remember When GOP Poll Challengers Were Kicked Out Of The Absentee Ballot Counting Room In Detroit One Day After The 2020 Election?  Can you guess which type of ballots they were counting?  If we told you they were UOCAVA votes, would that mean anything to you?  Does the average American citizen even have a clue what the acronym 'UOCAVA' stands for? [...] The Democrat Party recently announced its plan to register 9 million UOCAVA voters for the upcoming election, despite government tracking numbers revealing only 2.4 million eligible overseas voters.  So, why would the Democrats make such a ludicrous statement?  Could it be that they plan to manufacture millions of voters for the upcoming November election?  The Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) allows online voter registrations without verification of identity or citizenship status.  US Citizens in the USA who would like to register to vote must share the last four digits of their social security number and/or provide a driver's license or state-issued ID.

Simple, Basic, Georgia Election Ballot Rule Sends Left-Wing Activists into Apoplexy.  A very simple ballot counting rule was affirmed by the Georgia election board on Friday in a 3-2 vote.  The "hand count" ballot rule (183-1:12) is very basic and simple.  Essentially it says all the paper ballots must be hand counted and matched to the number of people recorded electronically to the vote.  Example, if 1,000 votes are electronically counted, there should be 1,000 physical ballots to match.  This is not complicated and will not take much time.  The ballots are not being checked for voting accuracy, or vote recording/candidate specifics.  Only the number of ballots, the number of physical ballots, that should match the number of recorded voters. [...] If you count 100 one-dollar bills, you should have $100. However, if you count 100 one-dollar bills and your sales report shows $500 sold there's a problem.  Ballots are the same.  Seeing the leftists go bananas over this single and simple rule enforcement, makes me wonder how much the Clyburn team need to scan batches of ballots multiple times.

The Democrats Defraud the Voters With A Little Help From Their Friends.  Courts are extremely reluctant to intervene in presidential elections.  I do not know of a single instance in our nation's history when courts have overturned a presidential election because of cheating.  But thats not because there has never been cheating.  Cheating occurs in every walk of life.  The greater the stakes, the more likely the cheating and there are no greater stakes than in a presidential election.  Furthermore, litigation required to resolve factual disputes to determine cheating takes years, not days, and the time between the election and the inauguration is far too short.  We need procedures to thoroughly and objectively examine the integrity of our elections with sufficient time to do the job.

Mad to the Max.  Some election crime is just in your face.  The open border policy may have many nefarious angles, but an obvious one is stuffing the voter rolls with live bodies that have names attached, which can be bundled and harvested in ballot form like so many sheaves of oats.  No one is fooled by this.  Yet the Democratic Party has its heavy hand on the lever of power that controls entry to the country. [...] The remedies for this dastardly mess are pretty simple and straightforward: return to paper ballots cast on one election day, requiring voter ID that amounts to proof of citizenship.  Everything else — computerized (hackable) ballot-counting machines, mail-in ballots, early voting, automatic voter registration by means of other government transactions that have nothing to do with elections (motor-voter acts) — only insures election fraud.  Sane people do not seek to defraud themselves.

Georgia Election Board Approves Rule Requiring Hand Count of Ballots.  The Georgia Election Board has approved a new rule requiring election workers to hand count ballots in the November election and confirm that the numbers match machine counts before the vote can be certified.  The rule, which was first proposed in August, passed in a 3-2 vote on the morning of Sept. 20, making Georgia the only state in the union to adopt such a requirement as part of its standard vote-counting.  The new hand-count regulation was, at the time of reporting, the first of 11 that the board was set to vote on Friday.  The others include a proposal that absentee ballots be visually distinct from other types of ballots, and another that requires poll workers to record the number of ballots cast from in-person scanners and reconcile those numbers to ensure accurate reporting of votes.

99 Percent Of Challenged Signatures For Arizona's Ranked-Choice Voting Ballot Initiative Are Duplicates.  A court-appointed special master report revealed on Tuesday that roughly 99 percent of challenged signatures collected for a pro-ranked-choice voting Arizona ballot measure are duplicates.  In his report, court-ordered Special Master and retired Arizona Superior Court Judge Christopher Skelly disclosed that 37,657 pairs of signatures gathered in support of Proposition 140 are, in fact, duplicates.  As argued by the Arizona Free Enterprise Club (AZFEC), this discovery "now place[s] Proposition 140 thousands of signatures under the constitutionally required signature threshold to qualify for the [November] ballot."  Proposition 140 would amend the Arizona Constitution by instituting an open primary system in which candidates of all parties run in the same primary.  It also paves the way for the state to potentially adopt ranked-choice voting (RCV) for general elections.

Pennsylvania County Ditches Drop Boxes, Citing Security Concerns.  Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, will reportedly not use drop boxes this election cycle citing concerns of "illegal activities."  Luzerne County Manager Romilda Crocamo sent a notice to county election officials on Wednesday saying the county lacked the "capability" to ensure the drop boxes were safe locations for voters to leave their ballots, according to WNEP.  "While I recognize that drop boxes can provide alternative means for voters to cast their ballots, I must prioritize the safety and security of our community in the current political climate," Crocamo said.  "We don't have the capability, we don't have the number of staff members to actually stand by the drop boxes to keep them safe, so I decided I'm not going to deploy them."

Fontes, GOP Ask AZ Supreme Court To Allow 100K Electors To Vote Full-Ballot Following Registration 'Error'.  Arizona's Democrat secretary of state and Republicans are asking the state supreme court to allow nearly 100,000 electors to vote "full-ballot" this November after it was discovered an error by government officials put their ability to vote in state and local races in jeopardy.  "We will not stand by as voters are disenfranchised, especially so close to an election," Arizona GOP Chair Gina Swoboda said in a statement.  "Rushing to disenfranchise voters now would not only be illegal but would severely undermine confidence in our elections."  As my colleague Brianna Lyman reported, the issue in question came to light earlier this week when state officials revealed they "found approximately 97,000 voters who are currently listed as full-ballot voters despite having not fulfilled the requirement to provide documentary proof of citizenship to vote in statewide elections."  The error appears to have resulted "from the way the Motor Vehicle Division provides driver's license information to the state's voter registration system," according to left-leaning Votebeat Arizona.

Biden's DOJ Threatens Election Offices:  Cleaning Voter Rolls May Be 'Discriminatory'.  As we approach the 2024 election, states across the country are removing thousands of noncitizens from their voter rolls.  Yet amid a surge of millions of immigrants across our borders, Democrats seem intent not only on undermining these state-led efforts, and leaving the election system vulnerable to potentially unprecedented noncitizen participation, but on threatening those acting to protect our republic from foreign election interference.  The Biden-Harris administration has also led opposition to the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, requiring that voters provide documentary proof of citizenship, and enacted Executive Order 14019, under which federal authorities are allegedly working to register and mobilize Democrat-leaning voters, including even criminal illegal aliens.  The Justice Department's (DOJ) recent guidance, trumpeted by the administration's progressive allies, addresses "limits on when and how jurisdictions may remove voters from their voter lists." Three aspects of the guidance are problematic.

1.5 to 2.7 Million Illegals Likely to Vote in 2024: Experts.  Do you plan to vote this November?  You're not alone.  Experts say somewhere between 1.5 million and 2.7 million illegal immigrants are likely to cast a ballot in the 2024 elections, impacting races from dog catcher to president of the United States.  The historic flood of illegal immigrants during the Biden-Harris administration has also padded voter rolls, thanks to controversial federal legislation from the Clinton administration.  If illegal immigrants and other noncitizens vote in the same proportion as in previous U.S. elections, the number will range anywhere from one-and-a-half to nearly three million votes.  "A 2014 academic journal found that 6.4% of noncitizens voted in 2008," Kerri Toloczko, executive director of Election Integrity Network and senior advisor to the Only Citizens Vote Coalition, told The Washington Stand. "There are about 24 million noncitizens in the U.S. right now.  If they voted only at the same rate of 6.4% this year as they did in 2008, they would account for 1.5 million votes."

Is it too late to ensure election integrity in 2024?  Last week, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) launched an election integrity Hail Mary when he attempted to tie the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act to the latest government funding bill.  In a nutshell, the SAVE Act would require "individuals to provide documentary proof of U.S. citizenship in order to register to vote in federal elections" and "states to remove noncitizens from their official lists of eligible voters."  The SAVE Act is not a controversial piece of legislation.  Its primary intention is to guarantee that only U.S. citizens are allowed to vote in federal elections, which is currently the law of the land under the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996. [...] In reality, the SAVE Act would do nothing more than ensure that only American citizens are eligible to vote in federal elections.  Under current election rules, states hold the power to register voters.  While some states, such as Florida, have taken great pains to guarantee that only citizens are registered to vote in local, state, and federal elections, several other states have intentionally ignored this provision.

NYT Already Setting up "We Won't Know Who Won' Scenario.  It's Election DAY, my friends[,] not Election Month, no matter how badly the Democrats need it to be.  Reject the pre-planned excuses out of hand.  If FL, the third largest state in the union, can get it all done in a couple of hours, there is ZERO excuse for anyone else.

The Right Way:  Gov. Ron DeSantis Explains How Florida Handles Election Integrity.  Florida caught a lot of heat (rightly so) after the mess of an election in 2000 — pregnant chads, anyone?  In the years since, the Sunshine State has cleaned up its act significantly.  Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) joined Maria Bartiromo on "Sunday Morning Futures" to discuss the measures Florida takes to shore up election integrity — and why confidence in election results is essential.  [Tweet with video clip]

Pennsylvania Supreme Court restores date requirement for mail ballots, voiding lower-court ruling.  Pennsylvanians who vote by mail must write a proper date on their ballot envelopes for their votes to be counted, under a decision Friday from the state Supreme Court that could affect thousands of voters this November.  The decision voids an Aug. 30 Commonwealth Court ruling that enforcing the requirement on ballot dating violated voters' rights under the state constitution.  The Supreme Court's 4-3 decision was based on whether the lower court had jurisdiction in the case, not on the merits of the underlying claim, meaning that the constitutional argument could be made again in court.  Republicans who appealed the lower court's decision argued to the state Supreme Court last week that the petitioners failed to include all counties as parties to the case, among other claims.

Undated and Misdated Mail-in Ballots Won't Be Counted, Per Pennsylvania Supreme Court.  In a 4-3 order issued today, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court vacated a Commonwealth Court decision that would have required counties in the battleground state to count mail-in ballots with missing or incorrect handwritten dates on their outer return envelopes.  According to the ruling, which stands to put thousands of voters at risk of disenfranchisement this November, the Commonwealth Court lacked jurisdiction over the matter since the plaintiffs failed to name all 67 Pennsylvania Counties as defendants to the lawsuit.  The suit only named the counties of Philadelphia and Allegheny.

Judge: Newsmax Did Not Target Smartmatic; Details Criminal Allegations, Venezuela Ties.  A lawsuit pitting an electronic voting machine manufacturer that was targeted by allies of former President Donald Trump against a conservative news outlet that aired accusations of vote manipulation in the 2020 election appears headed to trial, following a Delaware judge's ruling Thursday.  Florida-based Smartmatic is suing Newsmax, claiming the cable network's hosts and guests made false and defamatory statements after the election implying that Smartmatic participated in rigging the results, and that its software was used to switch votes.  Newsmax, also based in Florida, argues that it was simply reporting on serious and newsworthy allegations being made by Trump and his supporters, including former New York City Mayor Rudy Guiliani and conservative attorney Sidney Powell.

RNC Sues Michigan Secretary Of State, Claiming 'Thousands' Of Improperly Processed Ballots.  The Republican National Committee is suing Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson after allegedly finding signature verification markers absent from "thousands" of ballots in the state's primary election.  "Our secretary of state is actively interfering in Michigan's elections, disregarding the very laws she's supposed to enforce," said Michigan Republican Party Chairman Pete Hoekstra in a Thursday press release regarding the suit. "The Michigan Republican Party will never stop fighting for the safety and security of our elections, so every single Michigander can feel confident in their vote ... ."  The RNC, the Michigan GOP, and Chesterfield Township Clerk Cindy Berry sued Benson and Director of Elections Jonathan Brater for issuing "incomplete" guidance on ballot verification, causing "confusion."  The suit, filed Thursday, claims "thousands" of absentee ballots in the Detroit suburb of Warren were "apparently" counted in the state's Aug. 6 primary, "despite the complete absence of a statement by the clerk on the corresponding return envelope that the absent voter ballot is approved for tabulation."

Michigan Secretary Of State Refuses To Tell Congress Whether Dead People Are On Voter Rolls.  In a hearing on Wednesday, Rep. Greg Murphy, R-N.C., asked Democrat Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson if there are dead people on the state's voter rolls, and she would not answer yes or no.  "Why [...] are deceased people still on your voter rolls?" Murphy asked.  "Do you have deceased people on your voter rolls, yes or no?"  "We do everything we can, and just like every other state, to remove — " Benson said.  "Should a deceased person be on your voter roll?" Murphy insisted.  "No, and that's why we remove them once we receive information," Benson replied.  Murphy was one of several legislators who questioned secretaries of state on election integrity during a Committee on House Administration hearing Wednesday morning.  His questions to Benson about dead people registered to vote in Michigan brought incomplete, indirect answers.

Pennsylvania Court Ruling a Massive Election Integrity Win on Mail-In Ballots.  Remember during the 2020 elections, when several blue states (including the commonwealth of Pennsylvania) rewrote on the fly the laws about how, when, and where mail-in ballots (AKA vote by mail) would be counted?  It led to many voters becoming jaded and distrustful of a system that had been considered one of the most honest and free to hold elections in the world.  [Advertisement]  Courts ended up striking down those revised laws, and now we have news of a massive win for election integrity on mail-in ballots by the state Supreme Court in one of those states — the Keystone state of Pennsylvania:  [Tweet]

Key Swing State Supreme Court Rules Mail-In Ballots With Flawed Dates Can Be Tossed.  The Pennsylvania Supreme Court issued a ruling Friday that will allow mail-in ballots without accurate dates on their return envelopes to be thrown out.  In late August, a Pennsylvania state court halted the enforcement of requiring voters to include accurate, handwritten dates on submitted mail-in ballots, according to CBS News.  However, the state's Supreme Court, in a 4-3 vote, has now reinstated the requirement as two Democrats on the high court joined both Republicans to vacate the Commonwealth Court decision, according to the court documents.  Within the court filing, Justices Kevin Dougherty, Sallie Updyke Mundy, Kevin Brobson and Daniel McCaffery stated the decision was made after the Commonwealth Court failed to "name the county boards of elections of all 67 counties," calling out Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt for not meeting the requirements "to invoke the Commonwealth Court's original jurisdiction."

North Carolina Election Board Faces 7th Lawsuit in 52 Days.  North Carolina's State Board of Elections says a mobile phone identification is acceptable for the state's voter ID law.  The state and national Republican organizations on Thursday in court said it is not.  Seven times in 52 days, the five-member bipartisan state authority and its executive director who manage the elections have been sued.  Playing offense as plaintiffs for the fourth time are the North Carolina Republican Party and the Republican National Convention, which is led by the former head of the state party.

New York Times Warns Not to Expect a Result on Election Night Due to 'Intense Security' of Mail-In Ballots.  The New York Times has warned its readers not to necessarily expect a result on election night in November in the all-important race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris for the White House.  In a piece entitled Harris or Trump?  Once Again, Election Results Could Take Awhile, the paper's politics reporter urges people hosting election night parties to book hotel rooms for more than one night because of the "intense security measures" that are required to deal with mail-in ballots. [...] As repeatedly reported on and exposed by The Gateway Pundit, mail-in ballots were one of the many ways in which Joe Biden stole the 2020 presidential election from Donald Trump, when election officials in heavily Democratic areas took days to "find" the correct number of votes to ensure his victory.

Oregon: Sorry About Registering All Those Illegals to Vote.  One of the surest ways to be attacked by the progressive left is to raise the issue of illegal migrants voting in American elections. [...] It turns out that in just the past few years, Oregon has registered literally hundreds of Joe Biden's illegal migrants to vote and at least some of them cast ballots illegally.  So how did that happen and what can be done about it?  It turns out that the state opened the door to making it quite easy for illegals to register to vote thanks to the DMV and the rules put in place by the state's Democratic majority. [...] It may seem easy enough to shrug off a few hundred people registering illegally and a few of them voting in a state with a population of more than four million people.  But this red flag, along with so many others just like it around the country comes with a very large caveat that frequently goes unmentioned.  Those are just the people they caught.  How many others simply "fell through the cracks" or were even directed to register by progressive social activists?

Oregon DMV mistakenly registered more than 300 non-citizens to vote since 2021.  Oregon officials acknowledged Friday that the state mistakenly registered more than 300 non-citizens as voters since 2021 in what they described as a "data entry issue" that happened when people applied for driver's licenses.  An initial analysis by the Oregon Department of Transportation, which oversees the state's Driver and Motor Vehicle Services, revealed that 306 non-citizens were registered to vote, said Kevin Glenn, a department spokesperson.  Of those, two voted in elections since 2021.

Trump Campaign, RNC Suing Nevada Over Non-Citizen Voter Registrations.  One of the primary roles of our state legislatures and the various secretaries of state around the republic is to ensure the validity of our elections.  A primary part of making such an assurance is to make sure our voter registration rolls are accurate and up-to-date and only include those who are legally entitled to vote.  There have been, in recent years, many efforts to do precisely this, and it speaks volumes that there is always one party in favor of ensuring our voter registration rolls are accurate and valid[,] and the other party is against any such efforts.  In one such effort, the Donald Trump presidential campaign, the Republican National Committee, and the Nevada Republican Party are suing Nevada Secretary of State Francisco Aguilar for illegally allowing non-citizens to register to vote.

Can You Run for a House Seat From a Prison Cell in Another State?  We've been trying to keep up with covering all of the twists and turns being seen in Alaska's race for the state's lone seat in the House of Representatives.  It's a complicated task, particularly because of all of the complexities of the state's bizarre ranked-choice voting system.  The race finally appeared to settle down this month to what should amount to a head-to-head matchup between incumbent Democrat Mary Peltola and Republican challenger Nick Begich.  But now an even stranger wrinkle has been added into the mix.  Peltola is also being challenged by another Democrat named Eric Hafner.  What makes Hafner so unique is the fact that he's never even been to Alaska in his life and he's currently residing in a jail cell in New York.  And yet a judge ruled this week that he must appear on the ballot.  You might be thinking that's impossible, but under Alaska's rules, pretty much anything goes, or so it seems.

Yet another Democrat vote fraud scheme exposed.  This week, former president Donald Trump noted the need for stronger border protections to stop illegal voting.  He's right — noncitizen voting is a threat to our republic.  And Democrats know it — since 2021, they have welcomed millions of illegal migrants into the country.  It's not surprising some of those same illegal migrants are registered to vote — even though it's against the law, cancels out a legal citizen's vote, and puts illegally registered immigrants at risk for deportation.  But in August, we learned that Democrats aren't stopping at the border.  They've gone global, committing $300,000 to register and influence 9 million overseas voters — even though the federal government says only 2.4 million legal voters live in other countries.  For those counting at home, that's 6.4 million votes that Democrats want to find... that don't exist.

Election officials warn that widespread problems with the US mail system could disrupt voting.  State and local election officials from across the country on Wednesday warned that problems with the nation's mail delivery system threaten to disenfranchise voters in the upcoming presidential election, telling the head of the U.S. Postal Service that it hasn't fixed persistent deficiencies.  In an alarming letter, the officials said that over the past year, including the just-concluded primary season, mailed ballots that were postmarked on time were received by local election offices days after the deadline to be counted.  They also noted that properly addressed election mail was being returned to them as undeliverable, a problem that could automatically send voters to inactive status through no fault of their own, potentially creating chaos when those voters show up to cast a ballot.

The only way Trump can beat Kamala is in a landslide.  Do lefties ever have the slightest amount of self-awareness? [...] They keep trying to convince us that Comrade Kamala is the "candidate of change" — even though she's the incumbent.  The joke is that she's running on "hope" — hoping that you won't remember higher prices on everything from the inflation caused by the Biden/Harris administration.  And hoping you'll forget the illegal invasion and insanity from her administration.  But the bad news for the lefties is that there is another vibe running through the country — and it's not the one they're looking for. [...] It would be an economic disaster if Comrade Kamala and her communist wrecking ball were unleashed on the country.  As Donald Trump is fond of saying, we need this victory to be too big too rig.  The vote has to be such a blowout that there is no way the cheating Un-Democratic Party can win.

The Votes and Who Counts Them.  The Constitution does not stipulate a particular election day, but subsequent US law established the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November as the day for federal elections (the states can establish their own election dates for state and local offices).  This changed beginning in the year 2000, when Oregon legislated to conduct all elections by mail-in ballot and other states followed with alterations to voting methods beyond a single election day.  The Covid-19 pandemic prompted states to permanently relax rules on absentee ballots and expand mail-in voting, under guidance from the federal agencies such as the CDC, while the CARES Act of 2020 provided emergency funding to implement procedures for mail-in voting in order to reduce in-person voting that might enable the spread of Covid-19.  All of that followed orderly legislative procedure.  The result was widespread ballot fraud, especially in crucial swing voting districts, much of it arrant.  Contrary to official narratives out of the "Joe Biden" administration and the salient organs of corporate news, the allegations of widespread fraud were not "baseless" nor were they "conspiracy theories."

Is There Election Fraud or Not?  Twenty-twenty's election never received thorough investigation.  Most of the evidence for it being fair and honest amounted to essentially O.J. Simpson-type acquittals.  There were no thorough comparisons of signatures of those who cast ballots to signatures of registered voters.  No plausible excuses were offered to explain how in many swing states, Trump's substantial lead before midnight disappeared after election workers were finished, then in the dead of night thousands of additional ballots were added, and Biden was pronounced the winner.  There was no forensic investigation of whether computer counts of votes were, or even could be, changed by illicit remote access to government computers.  There were few, if any, thorough judicial reviews weighing all conceivable evidence of ballot-rigging, tampering and fraud.  This is not because there was no evidence, but because the courts weren't about to overturn election results that already had been certified.  Time ran out.  The short explanation is that the courts had zero interest in getting involved in disputes that would take months, if not longer, to resolve.

Beating the Cheat.  A single obstacle stands between Trump and victory.  That's electoral cheating.  By now, there is little question that massive cheating occurred in 2020.  To deny it is an admission that you're either a Democrat or a writer for NRO.  Even Brad Raffensperger, the World's Most Flexible Republican, admitted at last that there something funny going on, by gosh and by golly — long after it was too late to do anything about it.  Nobody debates this fact.  Trump's worst enemies simply change the subject or insist that "investigations" have "disproven" it.  (They haven't — there were never any official investigations.  These claims are based on recounts of already tainted ballots.) Unofficial inquiries such as those carried out by True the Vote and recounted in 2000 Mules tell a much different story.  We hear claims that a stolen election is inevitable — that the fix is in, that nothing can stop it, that nothing has changed, the GOP made no effort to prevent it.  This is merely an expression of standard conservative defeatism.

Democrats Freaking Out Because Trump Says He Will Jail Election Cheaters.  For people who claim to defend democracy, it is striking that so many liberals and Democrats are freaking out that Donald Trump is warning people intending to commit election fraud that they are liable to go to jail.  Alex Thompson, national political correspondent for Axios and CNN commentator, was among the people who found Trump's threats a danger to democracy and warns that we should take Trump seriously!  [Tweet]

Black Swans, Orchestrated Chaos and November 5.  True the Vote the first citizen voter integrity group in the 21st century, was started by Catherine Engelbrecht in 2009.  At the time, she had been managing a manufacturing plant that supplied parts to the oil and gas industry in Texas for eleven years.  Interviewed last month Patriots with Grit, she explained, "I had never been interested in politics, but after '09, I found government was everywhere, my kids school, health care, oil and gas, regulations out of control.  How could citizens engage?" [...] "We took so much for granted.  So I decided to get involved.  They needed poll workers?  Ok.  So a bunch of us signed up for poll watching.  Most of the elections were fine, but 25% of the group came back to say, you would not believe what we saw."  They saw voters who were told their vote had already been cast.  They saw people come in and say, "I can't remember who I am supposed to vote for", and the election judge would walk them over to the machines and coach them.  Then, a group who came into town who said they were going to register a massive number of new voters.  We investigated, caught them and turned them over to the county. [...]"

Voter roll cleanup shows that the 2020 election was anything but the most secure in history.  Texas Governor Greg Abbott recently announced that the Lone Star State's effort to clean up its voter rolls has resulted in more than 1 million names being removed.  Since Senate Bill 1 was signed into law in 2021, individuals who are noncitizens, have moved to other states, or who have passed away have been removed from the voter rolls.  Indeed, thousands of noncitizens have been removed from the rolls.  This, of course, greatly angers Democrats, who fervently believe that non-residents, non-citizens — and the dead — should be able to vote.  As often as they like.

The ghost of Richard Daley:  Democrats aren't creating disorder; they're preserving it.  In states such as North Carolina and Michigan, Democrats are fighting to keep the name of Robert Kennedy, Jr. on the ballot even though he withdrew from the race and endorsed former president Donald Trump.  These are key states where the misplacement of even 1 percent of votes could turn the outcome of not just the state but the entire election.  In Michigan, Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson recently fought to keep third-party candidate Cornel West off the ballot.  Unlike Kennedy, who is viewed as likely to drain votes from Trump, West is viewed as pulling votes from Vice President Kamala Harris, particularly among those opposed to her policies toward Israel.  A court ruled against Benson and said that she was adopting an artificially narrow interpretation to keep Kennedy on the ballot.  In North Carolina, where Trump and Harris are in a statistical tie, Democrats also refused to remove Kennedy's name.  An appellate court this week ordered them to do so to avoid the obvious confusion for voters.

Illegal Alien Arrested for Voting In U.S. Elections.  The Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) arrested an illegal immigrant from Guatemala for impersonating Americans and voting in federal elections.  42-year-old Angelica Maria Francisco was taken into custody after it was revealed she had been illegally voting in both the 2016 and 2020 presidential elections.  She was charged with "false claims of citizenship in connection with voting, false statements in application for a United States passport, use of a United States passport obtained by false statements, and aggravated identity theft."

Trump May Not Win in Pennsylvania — Until After the Election.  Donald Trump is likely to win the most votes in Pennsylvania, but unless he leads by at least 3 percent on Election Day, it is likely that Kamala Harris will be declared the winner.  If that happens, the Republicans will have to take extraordinary steps to dispute the stolen election.  To understand the need for an extra 3 percent, we must review the serious problems of the 2020 election, which remain today.

Montana County Declares Wrong Winner After Failing To Compare Total Voters To Ballots.  A Montana county declared the wrong winner in a race after overcounting votes.  During a post-canvassing audit of the Butte-Silver Bow County primary that was held in June, election officials suspected an overcount of more than 1,000 ballots, prompting a judge to order a recount.  The recount discovered that 1,131 more votes were counted than voters who voted.  Data shows a very similar number of votes in each precinct was overcounted.  Election officials are not entirely sure what happened, though Butte-Silver Bow County Clerk and Recorder Linda Sajor-Joyce told leaders she believes the extra ballots were from sample data that had not been cleared from the software by Election Day, according to KTVH.  In total, Sajor-Joyce could not explain 11 of the overcounted votes, according to NBC Montana.  As a result of the discrepancy, officials declared the wrong winner in a Republican precinct committeeman race and declared the wrong candidate to be the frontrunner in the race for county attorney general.

President Trump Accurately Identifies the Institution at the Epicenter of Government Controlled Voter Fraud.  President Trump sends out a "cease and desist" message that absolutely nails the institutional origin of the voter fraud process as it is permitted and facilitated.  Although slightly using a coded message, within the spelling, punctuation and pertinence, the identification "DoJ" is transparently clear.  I hope everyone can see it. [...] The identification of the DoJ as the primary institutional silo that permits voter fraud is keenly accurate.  That same institutional silo has the capability to stop voter fraud by prosecuting all of the public-private officials and NGO's who participate in the process.  Main justice facilitates voter fraud through a subsidiary of secondary divisions (sub-silos) within the main institution.  The Civil Rights Division of the DOJ is a critically compromised agency and must be addressed accordingly in order to confront the weaponized bureaucracy underneath the leadership level.  This is why the Attorney General position is so critical in 2025.

Catherine Englebrecht From True the Vote is Funding Livestream CCTV Cameras on Ballot Drop Boxes.  In the information war era, the targeting mechanisms have moved away from content targeting to direct targeting of the voices who produce the content that is averse to the interests of the DC state.  This is where we see agencies like DHS and the FBI coming into the picture.  One of the first targets in this new era was Catherine Englebrecht of True The Vote.  Mrs. Englebrecht was targeted because her organization was essentially the first nation-wide effort focused on sanitizing the local voting rolls that generate voting ballots.  In the mail-in vote era where ballots are more valuable than actual people voting, the process of disqualifying ballots before they are printed is a problem for those who rely on fraudulent ballots existing.  Being relentless in their effort to find new and innovative ways to combat the ballot fraud, True The Vote is now partnering with willing Sheriff's offices (the highest constitutional officer in every county).  The objective is to place CCTV Cameras on ballot drop boxes in the key areas where ballot fraud is most likely.

Broken Ballots.  [Scroll down]  Yet in California, New York, Pennsylvania, and Nevada, it is now possible to vote in person without any form of identification.  In Michigan, you can vote without a photo ID, as long as you sign an affidavit saying you don't have one.  Unlike Somalilanders, most Americans no longer have to physically show up at a polling place to vote.  Instead they have the choice of filling out and submitting their ballots beyond the observation of election officials, which means there is no assurance that the people in whose names ballots are cast actually signed — or saw — their ballots, voted free of duress or the promise of some benefit, or are even still alive.  In the 2020 election, more than two-thirds of voters exercised their franchise by mail or before election day — meaning that election day itself was a mass civic formality, rather than the deciding event of a long campaign.  The same is likely to be true this year.  At least 20 states now open the voting more than three weeks before the campaign ends.  Fifty days before an election, Pennsylvania begins holding "in-person absentee" voting, where a ballot can be filled out and submitted in a location that does not have poll watchers present or any of the privacy safeguards of a normal polling station.  Thirty-six states, including every 2024 swing state in the presidential election, now either have all-mail elections in which a ballot is automatically sent to every registered voter, or no-excuse absentee voting in which any voter can ask to vote by mail for any reason.  In a number of states, including Arizona, a voter only has to register as an absentee once in order to receive a ballot in the mail in every subsequent election.

Democrat Claims Non-Citizens Voting in U.S. Elections 'Doesn't Exist'.  Wisconsin's elections regulator is being accused of allowing thousands of non-citizens to vote in the state's election after it failed to verify the citizenship of its registered voters.  A recent lawsuit filed in Waukesha County Circuit Court by Pewaukee resident and election integrity activist Ardis Cerny alleges that the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) and the state's Department of Transportation (DOT) failed to interject with the thousands of "registrants unlawfully included on" its voter rolls.  Cerny claims the state did not verify the citizenship of those who registered to vote, resulting in illegal immigrants taking part in the nation's elections.  The lawsuit claims the WEC and the DOT violated the voting rights of legally registered voters and took advantage of taxpayers' dollars by failing to use resources and tools provided by the state to verify the eligibility of those registering to vote in the state's elections.

Nevada County Official 'Forced' To Investigate Dirty Voter Rolls In Recent Election Integrity Win.  The top election official for swing state Nevada's most populous county relented and finally decided to look into "bad addresses" on the state's voter rolls.  While claims of voters residing at strip clubs, bars, and casinos should have raised red flags for Clark County Registrar of Voters Lorena Portillo, apparently it took the threat of a court order to grab her attention.  As The Federalist has reported, election integrity watchdog the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) has, even "since before the 2020 election," investigated bad addresses in the Silver State — individuals in the voter registration database who purportedly live at commercial addresses.  PILF investigators have documented "hundreds of questionable addresses" on the rolls, including vacant lots, fast food restaurants, gas stations, tattoo parlors, and funeral homes.  They have captured on camera employees and business owners confirming that the individuals listed as residing at the commercial addresses in fact did not.

Sen. Rick Scott's Democrat Challenger Refuses to Disavow Noncitizen Voting.  Florida Senate candidate Debbie Mucarsel-Powell is campaigning on protecting democracy, but she appears more passionate about election integrity overseas than in her own nation.  The one-term congresswoman born in Ecuador is fighting to take out Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) after being defeated in 2020 by Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-FL). The incumbent and challenger have sparred on border security and election integrity.  Breitbart News reached out to Mucarsel-Powell's campaign to ask if she believes illegals should vote in American elections and if she would support the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act — legislation to bar noncitizens from voting in federal election by expanding proof-of-citizenship requirements and imposing voter roll purge requirements on states.

States Should Pass Proof of Citizenship Laws to Register to Vote.  Now that the Supreme Court has affirmed states can require proof of citizenship to register to vote, Republican governors and lawmakers should pass such election integrity measures ahead of Election Day, calling special sessions if their state constitution allows it.  Congress passed the Help America Vote Act in 2002 (HAVA), which created the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC).  That law also empowered the EAC to design a federal voter registration form that could be used in every state as an alternative to each state's standard form.  Arizona has required proof of citizenship to register since 2004.  In 2013, the Supreme Court noted in Arizona v.  Inter Tribal Council that HAVA allows people to register to vote with a federal form and does not require citizenship proof, and EAC designed a form that does not require proof.  So the court held 7-2 that only federal law applies when people use the federal form, which means that people using that form in Arizona do not need to prove they are citizens.

Texas County Ignores Paxton's Voter Registration Warning, Setting Up a Legal Battle With the AG.  Bexar County, Texas, defied a warning from Attorney General Ken Paxton on Tuesday, moving forward with a plan to mail voter registration forms to county residents.  Paxton sent warning letters on Monday to Bexar and Harris Counties saying that the proposal to send voter registration forms regardless of an individual's eligibility is against the law.  "The distribution of forms to unverified recipients could induce ineligible people — such as felons and noncitizens — to commit a crime by attempting to register to vote," the attorney general's office said in a statement.  "Further, Texas counties have no statutory authority to print and mail state voter registration forms, making the proposal fundamentally illegal."  The 3-1 Commissioners Court vote sets up a legal battle with Paxton, who vowed to "use all available legal means to stop" Bexar County.

Making it too big to rig.  On Labor Day, the traditional start of fall election campaigns, Real Clear Politics gave Kamala a lead of 1.8 points in the national polls.  On the same date in 2020, Biden had a 7.2 point lead.  On the same date in 2016, Hillary had a 4.1 point lead.  While this appears to be comforting news, the three races were different because the first two races had October Surprises that favored Trump.  We know not what October brings to him, so he has his work cut out if he is to avoid Hillarying himself. [...] Last time, Trump took 18 of the 19 bellwether counties and took Florida AND Ohio, and they still stole the election.  What we do know is the task before President Trump should be easier this time because even McDonald's wouldn't hire his opponent.  Democrats and the rest of the deep state panicked when their hitman missed it by just this much, as Maxwell Smart would say.  Instead of burying The Donald, the media had to bury the story.

Lawsuit: Fulton County Fails To Maintain Accurate Voter Rolls, Violating State And Federal Law.  Fulton County, Georgia, is allegedly not maintaining its voter rolls, according to a recently filed in federal court.  The suit, brought by Fulton County residents Jason Frazier and Earl Ferguson against Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger and members of the Fulton County Department of Registrations and Elections (FCDRE), alleges that "Fulton County does not maintain, nor does it even attempt to maintain, accurate voter rolls."  The suit cites, in part, testimony from Atlanta city attorney Patrise Perkins-Hooker who said last November that "Fulton County never does an independent search for anybody; dead people, felons, people who live out of state."  Perkins-Hooker said the Secretary of State's office sends Fulton County a list of potentially ineligible voters who are then notified by the county about such allegations.  "We don't have the right, to remove anybody's privilege to vote without a hearing," Perkins-Hooker said.  "We are not, on our own, initiating any investigation of our voting rolls to remove anybody."

Rep. Chip Roy:  It's Time to Pressure the Senate Uniparty to Stop Illegal Aliens from Voting.  After three years of importing millions of illegal aliens under President Joe Biden and "Border Czar" Kamala Harris's open-border regime, I'm hearing fears from my own constituents as well as from people across the country that non-citizens and illegal aliens might vote and sway the outcome of the 2024 election.  Meanwhile, the threat of a destructive post-election lame duck session that will empower Democrats and pave the way for all manner of legislative sins looms ahead.

Will Election-Riggers Wag the Dog Again?  Economic crises and impromptu wars have a strange way of materializing during America's election season.  Twenty-twenty gave us a genetically engineered pandemic, a planetary lockdown, and widespread crimes against humanity.  Disease, death, and suffering were the horrific costs required to shatter President Trump's three years of peace and prosperity.  COVID was the poisonous smokescreen necessary to give Dementia Joe Biden a mail-in-ballot "victory."  Foreign pundits often complain that it is deeply unfair that only American citizens get to vote for the U.S. president.  So great is this one official's impact upon the rest of the world, they aver, that the whole planet should have a say.  Well, my foreign friends, the U.S. government agrees with you!  That's why we have open borders and months-long mail-in-ballot elections with few voter identification requirements, drawn out vote-counting, and no transparency.  If D.C. wanted secure borders and secure elections, we would have both.

Swing State Dems May Be Illegally Recruiting Out-Of-State Poll Watchers, GOP Letter Warns.  The Pennsylvania Democratic Party may be illegally recruiting out-of-state poll watchers, according to a letter sent Thursday from the Republican National Committee (RNC), which flags "misinformation" on the state party's website.  The Pennsylvania Democratic Party's website says that any poll watchers who are recruited must be physically present in the state to work, but that they "do not necessarily have to be PA voters."  The state party's guidance contradicts Pennsylvania state law that requires poll watchers to be "a qualified registered elector of the county" where the polling is taking place, according to the RNC letter.

Orwellian Michigan secretary of state threatens local election officials:  Certify Kamala's "win" or "we will come for you".  Election Day is about two months away and Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is already threatening local election officials to certify the votes, or else.  Based on Benson's past actions during the 2020 election, it is clear she means certify the votes for Kamala Harris, who is already the presumed "winner."  Benson shared the following video in which she orders all Michigan election officials to do what she says or "we will come for you:"  [Video clip]  (Related:  Did you know that during the Wuhan coronavirus [COVID-19] "pandemic," Jocelyn Benson called for the "mass deletion of election data" amid audit calls for the 2020 election?)  Alex Jones compiled video evidence showing how Benson was complicit in the 2020 election steal.  Her state saw so much fraudulent ballot stuffing that Donald Trump ended up "losing" the state to Joe Biden — and now Benson seems to be planning the same thing for Kamala.  [Video clip]

Stopping Illegals from Voting.  Let's look at Florida.  Earlier this year, Governor Ron DeSantis signed SB 1718, the strongest anti-illegal immigration legislation in the country.  Among other provisions to combat Biden's Border Crisis, the bill prohibits the issuance of a driver's license to anyone who does not provide proof of lawful presence in the U.S. and specifies that out-of-state driver's licenses issued exclusively to illegal aliens are invalid in Florida.  Someone who is in our country illegally and has violated our laws should not possess a government-issued ID which allows them access to state-funded services and other privileges afforded to lawful residents.  But it appears that the Florida DMV is processing driver's licenses to illegal immigrants between 6 am and 8 a.m. before the DMV offices officially open.  If driver's licenses are the best voter ID in Florida, does this mean all these people will be able to vote despite SB 1718?

Colorado, Michigan and Wisconsin refusing to remove RFK Jr. from ballot, all to hurt Trump.  The rebellion of states has begun after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suspended his campaign and threw his support behind Donald Trump in the 10-or-so battleground states that Trump has to win in order to achieve an election victory.  In his campaign suspension speech, Kennedy urged his supporters in the other 40 states to still vote for him, but indicated that he is voluntarily removing his name from the ballot in about 10 battleground states, some of which are refusing to cooperate because they want Trump to lose.

The Editor says...
In other words, the election officials in several states are interfering with the process because of their personal preferences.

Jack Smith Makes Me Think Trump Won in 2020.  I used to be agnostic on the victor in the 2020 presidential election.  I simply didn't know since our system is so botched and riddled with holes in almost every state it's difficult to determine the winner in any of our elections that are even relatively close.  I still remain somewhat agnostic, but the tenacity, resembling monomania, with which our Torquemada-like special prosecutor Jack Smith seeks to indict and convict Donald Trump leads me to believe Mr. Trump actually won.  Many may also feel that way because of the manner in which Mr. Trump's poll numbers tend to grow the more he is indicted.  I admit my reaction is to some extent psychological/emotional, but it does have a factual basis.  It is not for no reason that the French abandoned voting machines in 2008 in favor of verifiable paper ballots.  They feared, as have Americans of both parties in the past, the machines were too open to sabotage.  A number of examples have been put forward indicating that occurred in 2020.

The Last Election Before the War.  These are the dark days of communisms showing themselves in real time, across the globe, so there can be no doubt as to the future under Harris/Obama.  We know what we will be voting against, that and the intricate and largely computer-driven system of voter fraud.  The details of this are utterly shameless.  Some states even have recently cleaned voter rolls, required by law and finally enforced, automatically repopulated with those same names.  It's easy, you take a snapshot of the lists in existence, save it, clean the challenged names from the list, wait for the dust to settle and replace the new file with the old one.  To me, I don't have to wait for this to play out yet again to motivate me.  That and the unwillingness of the congress to rectify the fraud and you already live in a corrupted and illegitimate system.  Others are going to wait for the election.

Court's mail-in voting decision is a slap in the face to NY's voters.  So much for "no means no."  That's the message from the state Court of Appeals, which ruled last week that New Yorkers don't need an excuse to cast an absentee ballot by mail when they're otherwise able to vote in person — even though the voters themselves have directly rejected such a measure.  Mail-in voting is hardly a revolutionary idea:  Oregon since 2000 has conducted elections exclusively by mail, and several other states have followed, including Vermont.  But it involves an important balancing act, as state officials seek to maximize election participation while minimizing — to varying levels of success — fraud.  That's what made the new ruling from New York's top court so problematic.  In 2021, state lawmakers put a proposal to allow no-excuse absentee voting on the ballot in a referendum — and voters defeated it by a 10-point margin.

Democrats Are Freaking Out Over Republicans' Efforts to Stop Illegal Aliens From Voting.  While the Trump campaign, Republican National Committee, Republican governors and Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill work to keep illegal immigrants and non-citizens from voting in U.S. elections, Democrats are fighting against their efforts and threatening to shut down the government over voter integrity legislation.  [Tweet]  "A conservative-backed push for stricter proof-of-citizenship requirements for voting could complicate efforts to avert a government shutdown next month.  Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have acknowledged a stopgap of some kind, also known as a continuing resolution (CR), will be necessary to keep the government funded past Sept. 30," The Hill reports.  "But calls are growing among House conservatives to use that must-pass measure to force consideration of a partisan bill aimed at barring noncitizens from voting — laying the groundwork for a clash with the Democratic-led Senate, which would likely reject such a package."  The question is, why?  [Tweet]

Left's Prison Voter Registration Effort May Violate Law.  Federal government officials have promoted voter registration and voting for prison inmates that might be inconsistent — or outright violate — state laws on prisoner voting and restoration of felons' voting rights, legal experts say.  As The Daily Signal has reported, an executive order signed in 2021 by President Joe Biden directs every federal agency to help boost voter registration and turnout, including the Justice Department and the Federal Bureau of Prisons.  In a letter earlier this year, Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee asserted: "Hundreds of individuals inside federal prisons have successfully registered and voted in recent elections."  Asked Tuesday how many federal prisoners have voted and where, a Federal Bureau of Prisons spokesperson told The Daily Signal, "That information is not available to this office."

The CBS Evening News is MAD That Texas AG Ken Paxton Is Investigating Voter Fraud.  With the presidential election drawing closer, it is reasonable to expect that the Regime Media will begin to intensify its voter suppression fearmongering and race baiting.  The time is upon us where efforts to safeguard election integrity shall be deemed to be racist, no matter the underlying set of facts.  Such is the case with the CBS Evening News, and their coverage of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's investigation into voter fraud.  [Video clip]

Pennsylvania Officials:  Final Results of Presidential Race May Not Be Ready on Election Night.  Election officials in the key swing state of Pennsylvania are warning voters that the results of the 2024 presidential race may not be ready on election night in November.  Monday's Fox News report comes as former President Donald Trump (R) and his running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), are campaigning against Vice President Kamala Harris (D) and her running mate, radical leftist Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN).

AG Paxton Election Integrity Unit Yields 65 Cell Phones and 41 Computers at Democrat Manuel Medina's Home in Bexar County.  Attorney General Ken Paxton's Election Integrity Unit has recently executed multiple search warrants across Frio, Atascosa, and Bexar Counties in Texas.  This action is part of an ongoing investigation into allegations of election fraud and vote harvesting, stemming from activities during the 2022 elections.  The investigation was initiated following a referral from the 81st Judicial District Attorney Audrey Louis in 2022, which provided enough evidence after a two-year probe to justify these search warrants.  The primary allegations revolve around election fraud, which could encompass a variety of illegal activities aimed at influencing election outcomes, and vote harvesting, where individuals collect and submit ballots on behalf of voters, which is legal under certain conditions but can be abused.  According to the search warrant for Elizabeth Campos Chief of Staff and former Democrat Chair Manuel Medina, found 65 cell phones some 41 computers, digital and other storage devices in Medina's home.

Relentless Pursuit of Election Validity.  [Scroll down]  In a report recently released by nonpartisan election validity watchdog United Sovereign Americans (USA), professional auditors volunteering with the organization provided an answer.  Looking at the official voter roll records for the 2022 general election, in 20 states responsible for 338 Electoral College votes, USA found 10,921,180 registered voters with invalid registration dates.  Reasonable "defaults" every last one.  Curiosity will surely draw you to the inevitable next question:  "Does it matter?"  One hundred forty years of U.S. Supreme Court decisions originating with In re Coy, 127 U.S. 731 (1888) show again and again that accuracy in the conduct of our elections matters a lot.  Returning to our example, dates in your voter registration determine your eligibility; they provide the anchors against which to weigh the law.  The mere presence of so many uncertain registrations demands comprehensive and immediate investigation.  And default dates are only one of the areas of potential fraud identified in the report, [...]

In Detroit, 93% of Republican applicants were rejected as poll watchers.  The American system worked for over two centuries because, for the most part, people played by the rules, which meant trying to make the more persuasive arguments that would result in honest election victories.  However, socialism isn't a "play by the rules" ideology.  It is a "win at any cost" ideology.  That brings us to Wayne County, Michigan (i.e., Detroit), which may be making up the rules as it goes along when it comes to poll watchers.  Memorably, during the 2024 election, when Republican poll watchers tried to keep an eye on the ballot counting — which had shut down on election night only to resume for days afterward — poll workers covered up the windows.  They claimed it was to protect the counters' privacy, but it was hard to see in that move anything other than an attempt to make cheating possible:  [Tweet with video clip]

Lawsuit: Gov. Hobbs Illegally Designated Arizona Agencies As Voter Registration, Ballot Drop-Off Sites.  Gov. Katie Hobbs', D-Ariz., unilateral designation of state agencies as voter registration and ballot drop-off locations is unconstitutional, a lawsuit filed Thursday alleges.  Brought by Arizona GOP Chair Gina Swoboda and two state voters, the suit challenges the legality of two executive orders issued by Hobbs in November 2023 that authorized "certain new state agencies [to serve] as locations where a person can register to vote and drop off completed ballots."  Among the agencies directed to "make voter registration forms" and other election-related information available are the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation, and Reentry and Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections.  Plaintiffs allege that by issuing the orders, Hobbs "acted, or is threatening to proceed, in excess of her legal authority as Governor of Arizona."

Over 1 Million Ineligible TX Voters Have Been Removed Since Signing of Election Integrity Legislation.  Since signing Senate Bill 1 into law in 2021, Governor Greg Abbott announced Texas has removed over one million people from the state's voter rolls.  The process is ongoing and has included people who moved out-of-state, are deceased, and are noncitizens.  [Governor's statement omitted for brevity.]  Over 6,500 noncitizens were removed, but approximately 1,930 of them already have a voter history.  The Secretary of State's office is in the process of sending all 1,930 records to the Attorney General's Office for investigation and potential legal action, according to KCBD Texas.

Marc Elias' Footsoldier Tarnishes Watchdog Group To Keep Illegitimate Voters On Nevada's Rolls.  Among active election integrity groups, Marc Elias is a household name.  He's the Democrat super-lawyer and Russia hoax architect who used Covid as an excuse to rewrite election laws all across the country.  That includes Nevada, where he helped ensure the implementation of automatic mail-in balloting and vote harvesting.  Now this pirate is working feverishly to protect his ill-gotten booty — and telling the truth certainly isn't part of his game plan.  His Democracy Docket blog and podcast regularly skewer groups and organizations who are working to protect the security and integrity of our elections — including my group, Pigpen Project.  And he's at it again.

Make them fail
The 2024 Cheat and What's Being Done About It.  After engineer and data scientist Kim Brooks worked on cleaning the voter rolls in Georgia for a year, she realized she was on a stationary bicycle.  She'd clear a name for various reasons, dead, felon, stolen ID, living at a seasonal campground for twenty years, duplicate, moved out of state, 200 years old, etc., and back it would come within a month.  At that juncture she realized that a program within the Georgia voter registration database was methodically adding back fake names.  She looked deeper.  For new registrants, the culprit was principally Driver's Services creating new registrations and in this case, the manufacturer was a person, or persons.  Within the government office, someone was stealing names and duplicating, even tripling that person's vote and then forging their signature.  Sometimes it was someone who just died, or a teacher who had no voting record.  In the case of a nurse who died in 2022 with three registrations, she was registered to vote in two counties, and all three of her voted in the 2022 election and the 2024 primary.

Election Fraud Search Warrants Executed.  Remember how Donald Trump was ahead in several states election night only for tons of Biden ballots to be "found" at 4 AM?  I hope all Republican officials in every state are working overtime to prevent similar occurrences this November.  Texas Attorney Ken Paxton seems to be taking nothing for granted, as the Elections Integrity Unit just executed several warrants.  ["]Attorney General Ken Paxton has announced that his office had carried out search operations as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged election fraud.  A statement from Paxton's office reads, 'On August 20, 2024, Attorney General Ken Paxton's Election Integrity Unit executed multiple search warrants in Frio, Atascosa, and Bexar Counties as part of an ongoing election integrity investigation.'["]  Bexar County is the big one here, being home to San Antonio, whereas Atascosa and Frio are directly south and southwest of San Antonio.  The geographic clustering suggests the warrants may all be part of the same election fraud case.

Majority Of Postal Facilities Audited By Inspector General Failed To Follow Election Mail Procedures.  A new audit released last month from the U.S. Postal Service's Office of the Inspector General confirmed that many USPS facilities are failing to follow proper Election Mail procedures.  These USPS service problems threaten the security of votes cast by mail in the upcoming election.  The independent USPS Office of the Inspector General (OIG) conducts "audits, evaluations, research, and investigations" to fulfill its "mission of ensuring efficiency, accountability, and integrity in the U.S. Postal Service."  In November 2023, the OIG commenced a self-initiated audit of "Election Mail Readiness for the 2024 General Election."  The audit aimed "to evaluate the Postal Service's readiness for the timely processing and delivery of Election and Political Mail for the 2024 general election," and was conducted at "15 judgmentally selected mail processing facilities and 35 delivery units located in 13 states and Puerto Rico during primary elections in February and March 2024," according to the report.

It may be possible to stop Democrats from creating post-election votes for Kamala.  One of the things that deeply worries those who are planning to vote for Donald Trump is the possibility of election fraud.  The fraud that worries them most is that corrupt precincts will wait to see how the wind blows before finalizing their vote counts.  If the honest vote count shows that Kamala Harris won their state, they'll call it.  However, if an honest vote count shows that Donald Trump won, they'll start manufacturing votes.  There may be a simple answer to this problem. [...] No precincts should release vote counts until every vote is counted across the state.  The beauty of this is that it makes it harder for Democrat-run precincts to manufacture after-the-fact votes to overcome a Republican lead.  Currently, if a Republican precinct quickly and efficiently counts its votes and then announces that Trump won in that precinct by, say, 200 votes, a Democrat precinct in the same state can suddenly shut down and manufacture 210 votes for Kamala.  However, if the Republican precinct sits on its final vote count until every precinct is ready to disclose results, that cheating is impossible.

Supreme Court partially reinstates Arizona voting law at RNC's request.  The Supreme Court on Thursday partially agreed to the Republican National Committee's (RNC) emergency request to revive an Arizona law that strengthens proof-of-citizenship requirements for voting.  In a 5-4 vote, the justices reinstated Arizona's law mandating officials reject state voter registration forms if the person did not provide proof of citizenship.  The court's three liberal justices — Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson — dissented alongside conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett.  But in voting to deny the RNC's other request, those four found themselves in the majority, bolstered by support from at least one of Chief Justice John Roberts or Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

Supreme Court Strikes a Blow to Illegal Aliens Registering to Vote.  The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Thursday that a new Arizona law — which requires individuals to provide proof of citizenship in order to register to vote — can go into effect immediately.  [Tweet]  The Republican National Committee is celebrating the decision as a win for election integrity.  "This is a major victory for election integrity that upholds a simple principle:  American elections must be decided by American citizens.  While Democrats have worked to undermine basic election safeguards and make it easier for non-citizens to vote, we have fought tooth and nail to preserve citizenship requirements, see the law enforced, and secure our elections.  The Supreme Court has sided with the RNC, and the American people, to protect the vote in November," RNC Chairman Michael Whatley released in a statement.

Ohio identifies 597 noncitizens who voted or registered in recent elections.  Ohio's elections chief on Wednesday referred for possible prosecution 597 apparent noncitizens who either registered to vote or cast a ballot in a recent election — a higher number than he normally finds but still a tiny fraction of the state's electorate.  Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose said that of those cases, 138 were found to have cast ballots and 459 registered but did not vote.  They were identified as part of a routine review and referred to Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost.

Biden DOJ Asks SCOTUS To Keep Arizona From Requiring Proof Of Citizenship For 2024 Election.  The Biden-Harris Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday requested the U.S. Supreme Court "deny" Republicans' bid to enforce an Arizona law requiring individuals to prove they're U.S. citizens when registering and voting in elections.  Arguing on behalf of the administration, U.S. Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar requested that the nation's highest court instead allow a lower court decision — one prohibiting the implementation of provisions of the statute in question — to remain in effect for the November election.  As The Federalist previously reported, the 2022 law mandated residents to show documentary proof of citizenship (DPOC) when registering via state voter registration forms.  The statute also required such proof for individuals submitting mail-in ballots and voting in presidential contests.

Republicans Are Finally Catching Up On The Left's Biggest Rig Of 2024 Election.  From Pennsylvania to Texas, conservatives are fighting back against the Biden administration's biggest rig of the 2024 election, with a host of lawsuits challenging the executive branch abuse that is "Bidenbucks" — aka "KamalaCash."  As The Federalist reported last week, attorneys general from nine states — Iowa, Kansas, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and South Dakota — filed a federal lawsuit asking a U.S. district court in Wichita, Kansas, to shut down President Joe Biden's executive order that mobilizes federal agencies to register and mobilize left-leaning voters.

GOP Vote-Fraud Foes Should Fight Fishy Addresses.  Dirty voter rolls yield dirty elections.  Alas, America's voter files are filthy.  The good news is that a high-tech security expert has carved a pristine path out of this dump.  Will Republicans be smart enough to follow it before Demokleptocrats steal the White House again?  Austin, Texas-based Jay Valentine is vice president of operations with Fractal Computing, LLC.  He and his company developed eBay's anti-fraud systems and created the anti-terrorist software behind the TSA's No Fly List.  They also guard GEICO and State Farm from insurance cheats.  Fractal also girds the power grid from hackers.  Valentine and Fractal have harnessed their technical prowess to help citizens cleanse the Augean stable that is America's election system.  Republican honest-vote advocates are battling the Democrats' quiet-but-effective ballot-creation machine.  Thousands of GOP lawyers and election observers have volunteered to patrol precincts and oversee tabulation stations in November.  That might be too late.

Republicans Mostly Shut Out Of 2024 Watchdog Poll Worker Positions in Detroit.  Poll workers handle ballots and are well-placed to speak up if anything seems out of order.  They are an important part of election integrity infrastructure.  Many states have laws requiring counties to hire an even mix of election workers to create poll worker parity, with a goal of, as close as possible, 50 percent Democrat and 50 percent Republican poll workers.  That's the case in Michigan, where the law requires election commissioners to "appoint an equal number, as nearly as possible, of election inspectors (aka workers) in each election precinct from each major political party."  But in the city of Detroit, where the heavily Democrat vote take can outweigh the Republican-leaning vote in the rest of the state, approximately 10 percent of poll workers hired for the Aug. 6 primary were Republicans, according to city records obtained by a watchdog group.

Georgia State Election Board adopts rule to ensure number of ballots matches total voters.  The Georgia State Election Board (SEB) on Monday adopted a rule that requires the number of ballots and voters be the same before the certification of election results.  The rule ensures that counties comply with Georgia state code.  It comes after Fulton County was found to have likely scanned thousands of ballots twice in a recount of the 2020 election.  "The purpose of the rule is to ensure that county superintendents and boards of elections follow the required procedures and can uniformly, properly, and lawfully fulfill their duties, and reconcile the number of ballots to the number of voters so that certification of election results accurately reflects the will of the voters in every county," the rule reads.

If Pennsylvania's Elections Are So Secure, Why Did The DOJ Just Launch An Election Fraud Case There?  A Montgomery County Pennsylvania man has been charged with election fraud — one man, multiple votes — but local media wants you to know election fraud is really rare.  Philip C. Pulley of Huntington Valley, was charged with falsely registering to vote, double voting, and election fraud.  United States Attorney Jacqueline Romero announced the charges on Friday.  The Department of Justice (DOJ) accuses Pulley of registering to vote in three counties:  Montgomery and Philadelphia counties in Pennsylvania, and Broward County in Florida, using a false home address, and a false Social Security number.  Pulley, 62, is accused of requesting a mail-in ballot to vote in Philadelphia County in the 2020 general election, while also voting from Montgomery and Broward counties.  He is also accused of voting in both Montgomery and Philadelphia counties in 2022.  Neither the document outlining the charges nor a spokeswoman from the DOJ's U.S. Attorney's Office in the Eastern District of Philadelphia provided Pulley's date of birth, which would make it simple to look up his party affiliation.

Dems Lay Groundwork To Prosecute, Sue, And Threaten Swing-State Officials Into Certifying Elections.  After Donald Trump won the 2016 presidential election, a handful of congressional Democrats objected to certifying his electoral victory.  But, after some local election officials withheld votes to certify the 2020 presidential election for Joe Biden over concerns about that election's administration, Democrats launched an intimidation campaign to force those officials to fall in line.  Wielding prosecutions and threats of lawsuits, their message is clear:  rubber-stamp election results or else.  Last week, for example, election meddler Marc Elias threatened Republican officials in a post on X, implying that, should they not certify election results, he will sue them.

Pennsylvania Man Faces Federal Voter Fraud Charges, Accused Of Voting In Two States.  A Pennsylvania man is facing a federal indictment in which he is accused of voting in both Pennsylvania and Florida during the 2020 presidential election.  He is also accused of voting twice in Pennsylvania during the 2022 midterm elections[.]  The U.S. attorney's office in Philadelphia announced on August 9 that it had filed five federal charges against 62-year-old Philip C. Pulley of Huntingdon Valley.  According to the indictment, Pulley allegedly violated federal election law by falsely registering to vote, voting in multiple locations and engaging in election fraud.

Will Democrats Repeat the Fraud of 2020?  A recent joint CISA and FBI press release warned of potential "attacks on election infrastructure that support election operations, which could hinder public access to election information."  This was immediately followed by assurances that these attacks would "not impact the security or integrity of election processes."  Essentially, the same FBI that raided President Trump's Mar-a-Lago home and recently cast doubt on whether he was actually shot is now telling us that, although we may not have live access to election night results — an unprecedented situation in American history, especially just four years after a highly controversial election — we can trust the results whenever they eventually appear on our television sets without question.

Former Mesa, CO Clerk and Election Patriot Tina Peters Found Guilty on 7 of 10 Charges.  Former Mesa County Clerk and gold star mom Tina Peters was found guilty on seven of ten charges for preserving critical election data.  The Gateway Pundit's Brian Lupo attended the trial and will post an update on Tuesday.  Tina Peters is the Election Clerk from Mesa County, Colorado.  She made a copy of her machines' information before performing the action requested by Griswald, who demanded that all voting machines's election data should be erased (which is against the law) after the 2020 election.  Ms. Peters was attacked for her actions. [...] Peters maintains she had nothing to do with the crime [of which] she is accused and is being targeted for documenting election fraud in her county.

Smartmatic execs charged with orchestrating $1 million bribery and money laundering scheme.  Three current and former Smartmatic executives are charged with running a brazen alleged bribery scheme to use bribes connected to use of the company's voting machine technology.  The indictment, handed down in Florida Thursday, doesn't identify the name of the company, which gained notoriety in 2000 when Donald Trump allies leveled debunked allegations that its equipment was part of a vote stealing conspiracy theory.  It is engaged in a prolonged defamation lawsuit against Fox Corp. where it is seeking $2.7 billion in damages.

Smartmatic Voting Machine Company Has a Bribery Problem.  A federal grand jury in the Southern District of Florida indicted three executives of election voting machine and service provider Smartmatic, a former Chairman of the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) of the Philippines, and Smartmatic's President Roger Pinate on bribery charges.  According to the indictment, between 2015 and 2018, Roger Alejandro Pinate Martinez, 49, a Venezuelan citizen and resident of Boca Raton, Florida, and Jorge Miguel Vasquez, 62, a U.S. citizen and resident of Davie, Florida, together with others, allegedly caused at least $1 million in bribes to be paid to Juan Andres Donato Bautista, 60, the former Chairman of COMELEC.  These bribes were allegedly paid to obtain and retain business related to providing voting machines and election services for the 2016 Philippine elections and to secure payments on the contracts, including the release of value-added tax payments.

Court: Democrat Election Chief's Rulebook Illegally Restricts Arizonans' Free Speech.  Provisions in Arizona's election rulebook restricting voters' free speech are "unenforceable," a state judge ruled on Monday.  Writing for the Maricopa County Superior Court, Judge Jennifer Ryan-Touhill determined that the 2023 Election Procedures Manual (EPM) issued by Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, a Democrat, contains guidance that infringes upon Arizonans' First Amendment right to free speech.  "The EPM's language has restricted what the Secretary finds acceptable regarding behavior, both speech and acts.  Our state constitution guarantees a right to speak freely and is only restricted for an abuse of that right," Ryan-Touhill wrote.  In Arizona, the EPM provides guidance to election officials relating to mail ballots, voter registration, and other election-related matters.  The secretary of state is required to produce the guidance by Dec. 31 of every odd-numbered year and receive approval from the governor and attorney general before it can be finalized for use in elections.

Remember Smartmatic?  Its President Was Just Indicted by the DOJ.  On Thursday, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that four men were being charged in a Philippine bribery money laundering scheme in the Southern District of Florida.  What makes this announcement of added interest?  One of the men charged is Roger Alejandro Piñate Martinez — who also happens to be the founder and president of voting machine company Smartmatic. [...] As noted, this indictment pertains to allegations of misdeeds involving the Philippines, not the U.S. Still, given the history, the indictment is sure to raise eyebrows.  Not only have there been controversies (and litigation) involving U.S. elections and Smartmatic, Venezuela has also had its share of election controversy related to the company.

President Of Voting Machine Giant Smartmatic Indicted On $1 Million Bribery, Money Laundering Charges.  The founder and president of Smartmatic — the company whose voting machines and software are 'trusted' around the world to provide secure elections — was indicted by a federal grand jury on Thursday along with two other company officials on charges involving a bribery and money-laundering scheme used to secure elections contracts in the Philippines.  Roger Piñate, 49, of Boca Ratón Florida, along with Jorge Miguel Vasquez, 62, of Davie, were among those charged over the alleged payment of $1 million in bribes to the former chairman of the Philippines Commission on Elections, Juan Andres Donato Bautista.  "These bribes were allegedly paid to obtain and retain business related to providing voting machines and election services for the 2016 Philippine elections and to secure payments on the contracts, including the release of value added tax payments," according to a press release from the US Department of Justice.

Election Integrity in Swing States.  There are seven states that are considered 'swing' states.  They are critical to the outcomes of national elections and one would think that the election security processes in these states would be top-notch.  Unfortunately, they are anything but.  The seven states include:  Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Georgia.  According to the Heritage Foundation election integrity scorecards, Georgia — probably because of the pressure brought to bear on it from the questionable 2020 election results — is the only one that scored well at 83 out of 100.  The average of the other six is 59 percent.  The average ranking for these seven is 29 out of the 50 states.  If you add other possible swing states — New Hampshire, Maine, Colorado, Minnesota, and Virginia — they average 54 percent.  It is interesting to note that all the states ranked in the lowest election integrity rankings and performance are blue states.

If Democrats Want Proof Foreigners Are Registering To Vote, Virginia Just Found 6,303 Examples.  As part of their embarrassing smear campaign against Republicans worried about the integrity of America's elections, legacy media have twisted themselves into pretzels trying to convince the country that foreign nationals interfering in the U.S. electoral system is a nonexistent problem.  So-called "journalists" and their Democrat political allies regularly claim concerns about noncitizens registering ahead of and voting in the 2024 election are baseless because it's already illegal for foreigners to cast ballots in federal contests.  Of course, these self-professed "experts" on "misinformation" conveniently decline to mention that there's no enforcement mechanism to prevent this from happening; or that numerous Democrat-run cities have granted illegal aliens the ability to vote in municipal races.

The Fake 'Holly Adams' Exposes Flaws In Wisconsin's Voter Registration Database.  Kimberly Zapata held the No. 2 position at the Milwaukee Election Commission in October 2022 when she used her government-issued laptop, fake names and phony Social Security numbers to obtain three military absentee ballots, according to a criminal complaint.  The ballots — requested on the state's MyVote site and issued in the names of Holly Adams, Holly Jones, and Holly Brandtjen — were mailed to the suburban Milwaukee address of state Rep. Janel Brandtjen, an election integrity warrior in the key battleground state.  Nearly two years after Zapata pulled her illegal scheme, and three months after the elections official was sentenced on a conviction of misconduct in office, Brandtjen said she's receiving mail (including political mailers) in the name of Holly Adams.

Smartmatic President Indicted on Bribery, Money Laundering Election Scheme.  A federal grand jury in the Southern District of Florida has indicted three executives of election voting machine and service provider Smartmatic, as well as a former Chairman of the Commission on Elections (COMELEC) of the Philippines.  The men, including Smartmatic's own President, Roger Pinate, stand accused of facilitating at least $1 million in bribes.  These bribes were reportedly made to secure and maintain business related to the provision of voting machines and election services for the 2016 Philippines elections and to ensure the release of value-added tax payments.

The 2024 Elections and the Return of the Surveillance State.  The U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Murthy v.  Missouri (2024) takes place at a pivotal moment in American history.  In this case, the Court declined to prevent the federal government from colluding with social media firms.  This move raises the possibility of a crushing recurrence of state-sponsored cowardice better known as totalitarianism.  The Murthy case sets an ominous precedent that reinforces Senator Mark Warner's claim that it is absolutely essential for the federal government to communicate with social media companies to prevent malign foreign election interference.  Shortly after the Court's decision, the FBI announced that it was resuming coordination with social media firms to uncover alleged 2024 election interference.  Given the behavior of the FBI and American intelligence officials during the 2016 and 2020 elections, most Americans should be worried about the return of the surveillance state's ability to initiate domestic election interference.

Courts Stall Georgia Election Official's Case Months After Dems Threatened Her For Refusing Certification.  Election board members are elected to oversee elections.  As part of that job, Julie Adams, a member of Fulton County, Georgia's elections board, asked for access to election data before certifying the results of the state's March presidential preference primary.  According to Adams, the elections director refused to provide that information, so without all those facts in front of her, Adams did not vote to certify the election.  Ten days later, the Democrat Party of Georgia sent a letter to Adams and the rest of the board threatening that she could be subject to criminal charges for her decision.

Surfaced Recording of Biden/Harris Team Reveals How They Targeted and Manipulated Voters and Information.  A recently surfaced recording of a Zoom call between the Biden/Harris team from 2020 reveals disconcerting evidence of the team's intentional targeting and manipulation of voters and relentless bullying of media outlets to control information.  [Advertisement]  [Tweet]  As RedState previously reported, the Missouri v. Biden (now styled Murthy v. Missouri) case is one of the most important free speech cases of recent years.  Originally, the Fifth Circuit had ruled in favor of Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and entered an injunction against the officials accused of censorship.  Unfortunately, the Supreme Court later ruled that the plaintiffs did not have proper standing.

Hey, Wisconsin.  I succeeded in Wisconsin.  I transmitted the exact travel pattern, location and sequencing for Clyburn's network visit.  We are seeing the outcome detail in the pattern of campaign visits by Brat and Walz.  [Map]  We now know the exact precincts and the information has been relayed.  HQ is in Dane County, and the six outlined areas are the focus points.  The goal is ballot integrity and security.

Pennsylvania Court Drops Bombshell Ruling:  Digital Images of Completed Absentee and Mail-In Ballots are Public Records.  In a landmark decision, the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania has ruled that digital images of completed absentee and mail-in ballots are to be considered public records.  This pivotal ruling stems from a case involving appellant Michelle Previte, who sought to obtain electronic copies of these ballots from the 2020 General Election via Pennsylvania's Right-to-Know Law (RTKL).  The case began when Previte submitted RTKL requests to the Erie County Board of Elections, seeking access to digital images of all mail-in and absentee ballots, as well as images of the outer envelopes and polling place ballots from the November 2020 election.  The Board denied her request, arguing that these documents were not public records under Section 308 of the Pennsylvania Election Code.  Previte then appealed to the Office of Open Records (OOR), which sided with her for the mail-in and absentee ballots but upheld the denial for polling place ballots.

Watchdog Group Exposes 300,000 Double-Registered Voters Nationwide, Including Double Voters.  A new report by Fight Voter Fraud, a nonpartisan election integrity organization formed in 2018, has uncovered just under 298,000 double-registered voters across numerous states between 2016 and 2022 — including thousands who double-voted as much as four times and were registered in four different states.  Worryingly, that includes critical battleground states whose voters will determine the winner of the Nov. 2024 presidential election.  In Wisconsin, for instance, Fight Voter Fraud discovered 1,900 voters who were registered at least twice and 18 who voted multiple times.  In Arizona, they found 2,700 double registrations and 36 double voters.  Michigan was higher — nearly 3,000 double registrations and 23 double-voters — while Georgia analysis revealed 6,400 double registrations and 37 double-voters.

Democrats Are Rigging Their Own Election.  Does Anyone Still Think They Didn't Rig 2020?  Much like their concentrated bid to remove Biden from the 2024 ticket, Democrats' efforts to rig the 2020 contest involved participation from a variety of left-wing actors, both public and private.  Under the guise of Covid, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg poured hundreds of millions of dollars into left-wing nonprofits, which then siphoned the funds into local election offices.  These "Zuckbucks" — which were heavily directed toward "blue" municipalities — were used to advance Democrat-backed voting policies, amounting to what was effectively a giant Democrat get-out-the-vote operation.  Around the same time, leftist election officials in battleground states such as Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin circumvented their states' respective legislatures by unilaterally changing election procedures regarding unsupervised practices such as mail-in balloting and the use of ballot drop boxes.  Several of these actions were later determined to be illegal by state courts.  Democrats' election rigging got even worse leading up to the November 2020 election.

Leftists blaze new trails in making voting so, so, accessible.  I live in cutting-edge Washington State, where we are at the tippy-tip of the spear when it comes to innovations in ballot-collecting procedures — I mean maximizing accessibility of voting for persons who choose to vote.  The old walk to the local elementary school to mark and cast ballots, followed by donuts and coffee in a flag-festooned school lounge, has been upgraded to the highest levels of 21st-century technological advancement.  Vote by mail (which you may have known by its dead name, the absentee ballot) had long been available by request for Washingtonians of circumstances including illness, advanced age, and military deployment.  In 1983, vote by mail (VBM) was re-imagined into a more inclusive process wherein special elections could be conducted via all mail-in ballots.  In 2005, new legislation permitted every county in the state the option to choose mail-in-only voting in all elections.

Far-Left Group in Ohio Is Being Investigated for Turning in an Inch-Wide Stack of Likely Fraudulent Voter Registrations.  On Friday Jim Hoft joined host Natalie Winters on The War Room to discuss the the ongoing Gateway Pundit investigation of the Democrat Party's massive fraudulent ballot registration scandal.  Earlier in the week, Patty McMurray at The Gateway Pundit identified several states and cities where GBI Strategies was operating in the 2020 election.  We know of several states where they were being funded to "sign up" voters for the upcoming election.  We also know that this group is famous for turning in thousands of fake ballot registration in just one county in Michigan before the 2020 election.  GBI Strategies were operating in was operating in Michigan, Iowa, Illinois, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida and Washington DC — and likely several other locations.

ActBlue Is Accused of Money Laundering By Several State Attorneys General.  Several states across the country have launched simultaneous investigations into the Democrat fundraising platform ActBlue for suspected money laundering.  Wyoming Secretary of State Chuck Gray, Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares, and Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey all announced on August 1 that their offices were investigating suspicious donations made to ActBlue.  This is not the first time allegations of criminal behavior have been made against the platform.  Last July, Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) demanded that the Federal Election Commission (FEC) investigate some of the hundreds of thousands of suspicious small donations made through ActBlue since 2016.  Miyeres sent a demand letter to ActBlue over accusations of campaign money laundering that could threaten to interfere with the integrity of the 2024 November elections.

Don't be surprised if Kamala shoots ahead in the polls.  Another advantage Harris has is that her position as vice president might allow her to mitigate any responsibility for what happened during the Biden/Harris administration.  Trump will not let her get away with this, but the elites and the media will.  They will claim she has a completely spotless record since she didn't do it.  Biden did.  The eight million illegal aliens who came into this country by land, air, and sea are not because of anything Vice President Harris did, the press will claim.  Moreover, some of those eight million will vote in the next presidential election because many of the swing states do not require proof of citizenship.  In a tight election, which the next presidential election promises to be, you can be certain none of those illegals will vote for Trump, and they might be just enough to swing the election.  This was the plan all along.

Ohio Board of Elections Asks SOS To Investigate Black Fork Strategies For Alleged Registration Fraud.  Earlier this week, The Gateway Pundit shared an update on the GBI Strategies voter registration group that was caught in Michigan turning in potentially thousands of fraudulent voter registrations.  It would appear that GBI Strategies is only one of several groups across America (we will have more to report on our months-long investigation soon) that have been accused of or suspected of turning in fraudulent voter registrations.  In the case of GBI Strategies in Michigan, because of one brave clerk, law enforcement was able to get involved and document the truth about the investigation that took place only one month before the 2020 election.  Unfortunately, Democrat MI SOS Jocelyn Benson and MI AG Dana Nessel hid the investigation from the clerks and from the general public.

Illegals Lining Up for Driver's Licenses — To Vote since they lack Cars?  [A screenshot of a Tweet.]

Ohio Secretary Of State Finds 499 More Noncitizens Registered To Vote.  Another day, another bundle of noncitizen voter registrations discovered on state voting rolls.  But there's still nothing to see here — so say the left and their election integrity-denying accomplices in corporate media.  On Thursday, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose announced he was directing local elections officials to remove nearly 500 foreign national registrations from Ohio's voter rolls.  The suspected illegal registrations were detected as part of a statewide audit of Ohio's voter registration database.  With a little more than three months to go before November's presidential election and a little more than two months before early in-person and absentee voting begins in the Buckeye State, the need to clean up the rolls is becoming more urgent every day.  With a projected 10 million illegal immigrant encounters at the U.S. border on President Joe Biden's watch, the very real possibility that some noncitizens could vote in November's election could tip the balance in the outcome — particularly in critical battleground states.

Kamala Harris and the Great Democratic Cheat Machine.  Four years ago, after the results of the presidential election finally came in, it was obvious there were problems and inconsistencies with the process.  Dead voters, bogus residencies, midnight ballot dumps in crucial swing states that magically propelled one candidate over the other in just a few short hours, 2,000 mules, video evidence of poll workers running ballots through scanners multiple times, etc.  A lot of people took those instances as evidence of massive voter fraud, while a lot of people dismissed them as evidence of the mere anecdotal.  Either way, I don't think those matters were given adequate consideration, because they were never properly adjudicated as cases were thrown out by judges across the country.  The Supreme Court never involved itself, though I think it should have, because this is far more important than who uses what bathroom, and Attorney General William Barr washed his hands of it about 30 days after the election, hardly enough time to give it its due.

How New Postal Practices Could Threaten The Integrity Of America's Biggest Voting 'Precinct'.  Since the 2020 Covid election, the USPS has effectively become the largest "precinct" in our elections with little citizen observation.  But recent incidents, reports from the USPS Office of the Inspector General, and independent investigations have revealed that the USPS may not be prepared to handle the volume of vote-by-mail ballots this November.  As recently reported in The Federalist, the USPS Election Mail system apparently created a major problem in the June primary election in Utah.  According to local election officials, hundreds of ballots that were purportedly mailed before the vote-by-mail cut-off were not processed by USPS in time to meet the "postmark" deadline, making those ballots ineligible to be counted in the election.

US concludes Nicolás Maduro lost Venezuela's presidential election: 'Overwhelming evidence'.  The US has found no evidence that Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro received the most votes in last month's presidential election and the Biden administration will recognize opposition candidate Edmundo González as the winner, Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced Thursday.  Blinken, 62, ripped the Maduro-controlled National Electoral Council's (CNE) vote tally and determination that the incumbent prevailed in the July 28 election with 51% of the vote as "deeply flawed" and unrepresentative of the "will of the Venezuelan people," in a statement released by the State Department.

The Editor says...
Clean up your own back yard, Mr. Blinken, before complaining about other countries' stolen elections.

Illegal Aliens Living in Georgia Apartment Complex Say They Are Registered to Vote.  This is why the Biden-Harris Regime ferried in more than 15 million illegal aliens over the last 3 years.  Illegal aliens living in a Georgia apartment complex told an undercover journalist that they are registered voters.  The Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project posted video from Muckraker.com of numerous illegal aliens admitting to being registered to vote and actually voting in elections.  The undercover journalists visited the apartment complex Elliot Norcross in Norcross, Georgia and asked the occupants two questions:  Are you a citizen?  And are you registered to vote.  Approximately 14% of the illegals said they are registered to vote.

Colorado County Clerk:  Shocking "Feature" on Dominion ImageCast Central Tabulators Allows Mail-in Ballots Results to Display BEFORE Election Day.  In the 2020 Presidential Election, several states took an excessive amount of time to process and tabulate mail-in ballots after universal and/or no-excuse mail-in balloting was permitted in most states due to COVID fears.  According to an article by the Washington Post, 27 states allowed early processing of mail-in ballots in 2020. That number has since ballooned to 43 states in total.  The WaPo article titled "Pennsylvania presidential election results could again take days to count" was highlighting the Keystone State's refusal to adopt legislation that would permit this mail-in ballot processing.  The Democrat-led House passed a bill to allow early counting, but it was not brought to a vote in the Republican-led State Senate:  "Despite widespread calls for change, Pennsylvania is likely to again take several days to announce this year's winner, alarming state election officials who worry the delays will cause confusion, deteriorate trust in the process and make election workers targets for harassment."

Kamala The Authoritarian Calls Election A 'Fight For Freedom'.  At her rallies, Vice President Kamala Harris has been portraying the November election as a "fight for freedom." [...] What are the freedoms she's talking about?  She can only conjure up three.  "The sacred freedom to vote."  "To live safe from the terror of gun violence"  And ... "Reproductive freedom."  It's not just that this list is so crabbed, it's what lies underneath each of these "freedoms" that is truly revealing.  "Freedom to vote."  What Harris really means is "freedom to cheat" because Harris equates any attempt to prevent election fraud with disenfranchising voters.  Common-sense laws such as requiring that voters present an ID, making sure absentee ballots are legitimate, cleaning up registration rolls, and banning ballot harvesting are, she says, "designed, I believe, to make it harder for you to vote, so that you don't vote."  Never mind that most Americans want these reforms enacted.

North Carolina's Undemocratic Election Board.  The Democrat-led North Carolina Election Board is being criticized for delaying E Ballot access for the We the People Party and the Justice for All Party.  Both parties have met the signature requirement mandated by North Carolina law.  Ironically, the board has been labeled "un-Democratic" when the Democrat party for months has accused arch-rival Donald Trump of wanting to crush democracy if elected.  The North Carolina Election Board oversees and directs 100 county election boards, all headed by Cooper appointments.  Among other things, lawsuits have been filed contending that inclusion of the third parties hurts the Democrat Party and this is the reason for the board's delay.  North Carolina allows private funding of election officials and government agencies but the state election board refuses to say how much money is involved and who may be receiving it.

The Logistics Explain the Need for Manufactured Harris Enthusiasm.  Illegal aliens do not need to vote (per se), they only need to exist in a captured state database as physical persons.  Their personage is then shifted to voter rolls, that then generate ballots.  Any state or federal system that links a physical identity to the secretary of state voter rolls is good.  Any system, like the USPS postal change of address system, that would remove physical identities from the state voter rolls is not useful.  The goal is to maximize the number of systems that generate registration, that eventually generates ballots.  Beyond the Driver's License/State ID issue (motor-voter), it's everything.  Sign up for public assistance, get registered to vote.  Sign up for state benefits, get registered to vote.  Sign up for a state id, get registered to vote.  Sign up for state college, get registered to vote.  Sign up for a grant, get registered to vote.  Sign up for unemployment, get registered to vote.  Sign up for any state system and get registered to vote.

The Worst and the Vilest.  If one will be honest, the only semblance of American life that remains is that of the control structures.  Everything else, all of the democratic functions have been given to the bureaucrats.  Nothing speaks to this more astutely than the way the elections are run (the only democratic part of American life).  Instead of paper ballots and hand delivery to the ballot box, they are all now somewhat electronically tainted and the glaring evidence of elitist control is in the marked inefficiency of these elections.  Since 2000, it seems that elections that are close or go the Democrat (globalist) direction are fraught with delays and extra secret counting rooms where view of their machinations are blocked or the monitors evacuated before the big ballot dumps occur.  The Republican victories immediately attacked and vilified until they can be overcome.

Democrats Must Rig Public Perception Of The 2024 Election First!  Are you dumb enough to believe that Kamala Harris is in a polling dead heat with Donald Trump? [...] How is it possible that the least popular politician in America will beat the most popular politician in America — you ask?  Well, it's called election fraud!  Rigging an election is easy — the tough part is getting people to believe the results.  If you understand that concept, then you understand:  the Biden regime doesn't have an "election" problem.  After all, the 2020 election was rigged and that system remains in place.  The Biden regime has an "optics" problem:  nobody really believes that Harris can beat Trump.  They must sell some lies before they rig the election.

Venezuela Televised Results Show 109% of the Total Vote Share Spread Among Five Candidates.  You know how you always read about corrupt places in the US like Philadelphia or Detroit that show over 100% of a vote total from the population in a certain presinct?  Looks like Maduro and the Venezuelan communists have learned well from their American communist Democrat counterparts.  In televised results of last night's rigged election in Venezuela, television result, among the five candidates running for president showed a total vote of 109%.  That's pretty good considering the most you could have to split among the five candidates is 100%.  Either Venezuela's not very got at math, or they aren't even hiding their cheating anymore.  [Tweet]

New Poll Shows Americans Are Very Worried about Election Integrity.  According to a new poll conducted by The Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports, more than 60 percent of likely voters, both nationally and in the battleground states, are concerned that cheating will affect the outcome of the 2024 election.  Specifically, 62 percent of likely national voters expressed concern about election integrity, with 37 percent saying they are very concerned and 25 percent somewhat concerned.  Throughout the swing states (Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan), the exact same number of likely voters, 62 percent, believe the 2024 election will be tainted by election fraud, with 38 percent very concerned and 24 percent somewhat concerned.  The results of this latest poll on the state of U.S. elections should not come as a surprise, considering that two previous polls underscore that Americans' confidence in free and fair elections is waning.

Georgia Democrats and Republicans Find Common Ground, Demand Switch to Paper Ballots.  Democrats and Republicans in Georgia have found common ground and are demanding the state election board ditch electronic voting machines and switch to paper ballots.  The two political parties in the state have called for the Georgia election board to go from using Dominion Voting Systems' electronic voting machines to using hand-marked paper ballots, according to 11Alive News.  The groups have noted how easily hackers can "manipulate elections."  After the 2020 presidential election, Dominion filed a lawsuit claiming that Fox News had suggested that the company had rigged the voting machines, leading to former President Donald Trump losing the election to President Joe Biden.

Biden Holds Meeting of Ballot Coordinators During AF1 Flight to Austin.  Intellectually honest political followers can clearly see the race-based political assembly was a meeting to discuss 2024 ballot harvesting and precinct ballot scanning operations, using the "civil rights" trip as a cover for their assembly.  By my back of the checkbook math, in combination with the previous activity by the Clyburn AME ballot scanning operation, I would predict for 2024 the ballot operation has around 300,000 to 500,000 potential ballot scans per the 17 regions that Clyburn is covering.  That means somewhere around 5.1 million to 8.5 million fraudulent ballots should be anticipated.  If the operation, using the leverage of Barack Obama and the media, can create the illusion of more support, they might be able to increase the harvest/scan number.  The Brat's VP will be a contingency in this aspect.  That's why Barack Obama and Eric Holder are in charge of that dynamic.

The Battle of the Steal.  To win the Battle of the Steal, the Democrats have evolved two distinct modi operandi:  the 3 a.m. strategy and the landscape strategy.  The 3 a.m. strategy derives from the Democrat belief (maybe it's a fact) that Republicans misunderstand how elections are won.  The Democrat perception is that the Republicans believe elections are won by having the most votes.  The Democrats understand the contrary is true:  Elections are won by having the most ballots.  Ballots, not votes, decide elections.  The number of votes is limited by the number of voters:  Only one vote per voter.  But ballots can materialize out of thin air in whatever quantity is desired.  That leads to a ballot-producing tactic:  Stop the count at 3 a.m., assess how many votes are needed to prevail, conjure up however many ballots are required to close the gap, and at 6 a.m. — Presto! — Democrats win!  The key to the 3 a.m. strategy's viability is that there is no gap so large that it is immune to ballot generation.

Election integrity questioned ahead of Arizona U.S. Senate primary.  Ahead of Arizona's primary election on Tuesday, election security has been a hot topic among politicians.  So much so that Secretary of State Adrian Fontes released a misinformation alert Friday afternoon.  "The Secretary of State encourages voters to rely only on trusted sources for accurate, election-related news," reads a press release from the Secretary of State's Office.  "We want to reassure the public that the security and integrity of their vote are our top priorities."  Election integrity is something that Senate candidate Kari Lake has spoken out about when it came to her election loss to Katie Hobbs in the 2022 race for governor.  Lake claimed that Maricopa County didn't conduct required accuracy testing on its tabulators and believed they were inaccurate, refusing to concede the race.

The Fix Is in (Again): Dems Just Can't Help Cheating.  Vice President Kamala Harris is such a sure thing to win the Democrat presidential nomination that they're going to cheat to make sure she stays that way.  This might be today's most overlooked story, but let me pause here a moment to remind you that the more absurd the first sentence is in one of these 2024 election reports, the more likely it is to be 100% true and not an exaggeration in any way, shape, or form.  Because what the Democrats are up to today is 100% and not an exaggeration.  You might recall that in Ye Olde Golden Tymes — that would be the weeks before Presidentish Joe Biden completely voluntarily dropped out of the presidential race before Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Kremlin) could force him to — the DNC had rigged its own game in his favor.  Using Ohio's ballot law as its justification, even though the state quickly changed the law to accommodate the Dems' late convention date, the DNC decided to hold a virtual roll call vote to make Biden the nominee weeks before the convention.

Deep State Carnival Barkers Distract Us with Kamala.  [Scroll down]  Forget about mail-in-ballot fraud and other voting crimes.  Democrat secretaries of state and Democrat attorneys general have vouched for the security of our elections.  Democrat judges have vouched for those Democrats' vouching.  Anybody who objects is simply an "election-denier" who should be imprisoned for "insurrection."  Mailing out tens of millions of ballots to people who cannot legally vote is how we "save democracy."

Democracy is Under Attack, But Not By Trump.  The Biden era began with a questionable election that was never properly investigated, raising serious concerns about whether those in power legitimately earned it.  Now, the Biden era is ending with perhaps an even more obviously rigged election.  Despite Democrat primary voters nominating Joe Biden to represent them on this November's presidential ballot, a clear and organized public pressure campaign by members of the party was deployed to subvert the will of the voters and remove Biden.  The initial outlook appears to point to Kamala Harris becoming the Democrat nominee.  If this does happen, Kamala's even lower popularity than Biden's historically low one accentuates their overthrow.  According to some statistical analyses, Biden is the least popular president in 70 years.  Despite this, the party seems poised to replace him with somebody who, just four years ago, received a total of zero delegates during the 2020 primary.

Ensuring only citizens vote.  The National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) states it is unlawful for noncitizens to vote in federal elections.  It is also unlawful to steal a car.  That is what locks are for.  Until the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE Act) of 2024 was proposed, the NVRA had no locks — no way to ensure that only American citizens vote in U.S. elections.  The glaring loophole in current voting law is that it does not require documentary proof of citizenship for registration.  There is also no specific authority provided to state secretaries of state or local elections officials to access federal databases to confirm that there are no noncitizens on state voter rolls.  The SAVE Act is designed to cure these deficiencies.

When Democrats Incite an Assassination.  [Scroll down]  A strong majority of the American people continue to believe that mail-in ballot fraud orchestrated in Democrat-controlled jurisdictions within crucial battleground states tilted the 2020 election in Joe Biden's favor.  President Trump and his allies did everything they could to remedy this injustice.  They filed lawsuits in state and federal courts, but judges refused to consider those cases on the merits.  Trump's attorneys spoke publicly about the evidence for electoral misconduct and outright fraud, and for their efforts, they have been indicted on spurious criminal charges, sued for civil damages, and disbarred from the practice of law.  Hundreds of thousands of Trump voters showed up in D.C. on January 6, 2021 to petition the government for a redress of grievances — as is their First Amendment constitutional right — and they have been hunted down and jailed as "domestic terrorists" and "insurrectionists."  Law-abiding and patriotic Americans who have tried to do the right thing have instead been treated like violent criminals.

The Fracturing of the Democrat Party.  [Scroll down]  It was the liberal wing of the party that effectively drafted a compromised and obviously mentally incapacitated Joe Biden to be the nominee in 2020.  They were convinced they could get him elected by exploiting the coronavirus lockdowns in order to institute mass mail-in voting, manipulate the voting laws of various states, and unleash ballot harvesting and voter fraud.  But above all they were certain they could control Biden and his administration.  They succeeded in getting Biden elected.  However, they failed to consider Biden's lifelong duplicity and dishonor, as it was not the liberal wing of the party that would control Biden and his administration but the Marxist wing that dominates his administration and effectively blackmails him into enacting their policies.

Activist Judge Says Nevada Can Keep Counting Ballots That Show Up After Election Day.  A federal judge dismissed a challenge from the Republican National Committee (RNC) and former President Donald Trump's campaign that argued accepting mail-in ballots up to four days after Election Day is unconstitutional.  Chief U.S. District Judge Miranda Du dismissed the suit on standing after Nevada officials argued the RNC and Trump campaign did not prove the extended deadline created a disadvantage.  "The causal link between counting mail ballots received after Election Day in Nevada and Organizational Plaintiffs' alleged electoral injuries is too speculative to support standing," Du ruled.  After President Joe Biden won Nevada in 2020 by 33,596 votes, the state legislature officially extended the deadline for which counties could accept mail-in ballots post-marked by Election Day to four days after Election Day.  The statute is similar to a temporary pandemic-related measure that extended the mail-in ballot deadline to seven days post-election in 2020.  It also permits ballots "whose date of postmark cannot be determined" to be accepted so long as they arrive before 5:00 p.m. on the third day after Election Day, according to the ruling.

Details of the Botoxic/Rutabaga phone call have leaked.  They are VERY telling.  [Thread reader]  Botoxic supposedly gave him "data" that he would lose.  This is VERY IMPORTANT:  It tells you they know they CANNOT STEAL IT.  If they could, she wouldn't have made that call!  Contrary to Hoax Media reports — remember, this whole thing is a Hoax Media-led coup attempt on Rutabaga — that Biden was more willing to consider stepping down, he got in a yelling match with Botoxic and said her "data" was wrong.  Next important data point:  She demanded she talk to someone else and told him, the President, to "get off the phone."  Who took over?  Obama?  NO.  Mike Donilon, one member of the "Four-headed hydra" RUNNING THE COUNTRY (Jilly, Hunter, and Andrew ... forget his name, but ... contd ... he is Donilon's accomplice.  They replaced who?  Obama?  NO.  Jayapal, Anita Dunn, and Ron Klain.  NONE of these seven people have any ties to Obama at all.  They are totally NON-Obamaites.

A Victory for Honest Elections.  In 2000, as Democrats were attempting to steal the Presidential election in Florida, an article written by Jon Dougherty and David Kupelian titled "How Democrats Steal Elections" shed light on the tactics used. [...] Mr. Nolan tracked down an attorney, one Tim Downs "who readily admitted the Democratic strategy" as well as methods.  From the piece:  "Downs told me, somewhat tongue-in-cheek, 'You get me within 100 votes and I can steal any election."  "The first rule is, you keep counting until you're ahead.  And if that doesn't put you ahead, you recount, re-recount — you keep counting until you're ahead."  Second, "the more times those ballots are handled, the more chance there is that chads will break loose" and be disqualified.  Third, "the minute you're ahead, you stop and declare yourself the victor."  The term 'close' once meant a hundred as being the 'cheatable spread.'  That was then and this is now:  The story, originally incorrectly debunked by various 'fact checkers[,]' now makes 200,000 to 300,000 votes to be within the 'cheatable spread.'

Ninth Circuit Delivers Decision on Citizenship and Voter Registration in Arizona.  The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has provided some much-needed clarity on who can and can't register to vote in the upcoming 2024 elections, with the state of Arizona the focus of a new decision on Thursday afternoon.  The suit was filed by the state Republican Party and the state Senate President Warren Petersen against a pro-illegals interest group, Mi Familia Vota, and Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes (D).  The Republican caucus of the state Senate reacted on X, calling it a massive win for election integrity:  [Tweet]

Who benefits?  Democrats.
New Michigan laws tighten restrictions on election recounts, fraud allegations, raising GOP concerns.  Michigan recently enacted laws that appear to crack down on voting irregularities or fraud, but state GOP lawmakers say they instead make effort to flag such problem more difficult and onerous.  Among the measures signed into law last week by Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is one prohibiting election canvassers from investigating fraud allegations and instead requiring them to refer such concerns to a county prosecutor or the state's attorney general.  "Whether you're an independent, Democrat or Republican, this doesn't help you.  This kind of stuff is crafted to get an outcome for the people who are not transparent," state Sen. James Runestad (R) said in June, before the measures were signed into law.  The measures also make clear a recount is not a probe on voter fraud or the state's voting process.

Kari Lake Appeals Case to AZ Supreme Court:  Two-Thirds of Ballot Machines Malfunctioned on Election Day 2022, Filing States.  Arizona Republican Kari Lake appealed her 2022 governor's race election challenge to the Arizona Supreme Court Thursday, even as she runs for a U.S. Senate seat.  Lake posted on X on Wednesday, "I will be filing a Petition for Review with the Arizona Supreme Court tomorrow (7/11) because I care about our sacred vote and Election Integrity."  [Tweet]  Her announcement came after the Arizona Court of Appeals dismissed her request for a new trial based on information not previously available when the case first went to court in 2022.  In Lake's petition to the Arizona Supreme Court, her attorneys argued that Democrat Gov. Katie Hobbs' narrow win (0.6 percent or approximately 17,000 votes) should be overturned based on the failure of Maricopa County to conduct the logic and accuracy tests on its vote tabulating machines as required by law.

Georgia Board Notches Election Integrity Win That Could Secure A Trump Victory.  The Georgia State Election Board amended election rules to require a hand count to verify vote totals and an investigation into vote discrepancies.  The new rule passed on a 3-1 vote put forward by Cobb County Republican Party Chairwoman Salleigh Grubbs, requires poll officers to hand count ballots on the precinct level each day of voting to ensure there isn't a discrepancy between the machine totals and the number of votes cast.  The poll manager and two poll officers as witnesses must verify the vote totals, signing a statement of their authenticity.  [Two tweets]  Election integrity has been a thorn in Georgia's side since before the 2020 election, especially in places like Fulton County, home of Atlanta.  This rule will hopefully make the election process more transparent and prevent falsified audit tally sheets or duplicate ballots.  It also allows all election board members access to examine all election records before a certification vote in case there are discrepancies in voting totals.

Election Fraud Hits A Major Roadblock.  This week, the House advanced legislation that would compel states to cleanse their voter rolls and increase the number of proof-of-citizenship requirements for voting in federal elections.  The House approved the Republican-sponsored Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act by a vote of 221 to 198, with five Democrats voting in favor.  The bill's sponsor, Representative Chip Roy (R-TX), said in an interview with Breitbart News Daily in June that there is "repeated proof" of non-citizens casting ballots.  Roy stated, "Let me just say this about the general situation of the election problem."  "There is consistent evidence of non-citizens voting, regardless of whether they are here lawfully or not."  The act would prohibit state election authorities from registering voters for federal elections unless the candidates could provide proof of their American citizenship.

The Fraud Triangle:  Why Wouldn't People Who Kill Babies Also Steal Elections?  A model commonly used in organizational ethics and auditing is known as the "Fraud Triangle."  Devised by criminologist Donald R. Cressey, the model suggests that for fraud to take place, three elements must be present:  opportunity, incentive, and rationalization. [...] As it turns out, the Democrats had all three in 2020 — and nothing has changed going into 2024.  Let's start with opportunity.  Were the Democrats in a position to pull this off?  While this administration's track-record of incompetence might seem to argue against that thesis, in the aggregate, their grass-roots activists and army of bureaucratic lackeys gave them a distinct advantage.  Take the example a few years ago of Arizona governor Katie Hobbs — the former secretary of state responsible for elections.  Do you really think her position gave her no advantage?  She barely campaigned, was down in the polls to her Republican opponent Kari Lake and was behind on fundraising.  But she had her hands on the levers of power.  So did many other local and statewide Democrat politicians and appointees, in 2020 and beyond.  To take advantage of the opportunity this presented, they did not need a coordinated conspiracy (which their party's incompetence would have likely derailed).  All they needed were some convenient, idiosyncratic distractions; distractions such as voting machine malfunctioning, or water pipes bursting.

There's Only One Reason Democrats Oppose Requiring Proof Of Citizenship To Vote.  As the Republican-controlled House is expected to take up a bill Wednesday aimed at making sure only U.S. citizens vote in federal elections, President Joe Biden is signaling he would kill the measure should it miraculously survive the Democrat-led Senate.  Biden isn't likely to need the veto pen.  Democrats will, however, be forced to explain why they oppose the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which requires documentary proof of citizenship to vote for president and members of Congress.  And while they have gotten plenty of cover from corporate media in asserting that foreign nationals — including illegal aliens — are rarely ever caught voting in federal elections, such explanations may not sit well with U.S. voters who overwhelmingly support prohibitions on noncitizens voting in federal elections.  Most Americans, too, according to polls, are deeply concerned about the tsunami of illegal immigrants that has swamped U.S. communities on Biden's watch.

SAVE Act Passes House 221-198 — Almost Every Democrat Voted to 'Protect' the Ability of Illegals to Vote in Federal Elections.  The SAVE Act — which requires proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections — passed the House 221-198 on Wednesday.  Nearly every Democrat lawmaker voted to protect the ability of illegals to vote in federal elections.  This is after Joe Biden flooded the US with more than 15 million illegal aliens.  The White House issued a statement on Monday, condemning a House Republicans' bill requiring proof of citizenship when registering to vote in federal elections.

U.S. House Passes SAVE Act to Prevent Non-Citizens From Voting in Federal Elections — With 198 Dems Voting Against.  Legislation requiring proof of US citizenship when registering to vote passed in the U.S. House of Representatives with bipartisan support Wednesday afternoon, however the vast majority of Democrats voted against the commonsense measure.  [Advertisement]  A majority of 216 Republicans and five Democrats voted to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act to prevent non-citizens from casting ballots in federal elections.  Swing-district Reps.  Henry Cuellar (D-Texas), Vicente Gonzalez (D-Texas), Jared Golden (D-Maine), Don Davis (D-NC) and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-Wash.) crossed party lines to vote in favor of the measure.  [Two advertisements]  The bill was strongly opposed by 198 Democrats, and faces an uphill battle in the U.S. Senate.  [Advertisement]  "The Democrat Party you grew up with is buried and gone," said former Trump speechwriter and America First Legal founder Stephen Miller on X.  "There is only the Progressive Democrats now.  The entire Progressive Democrat Party just voted to let illegal aliens vote in the 2024 election."  Joe Biden's aides put out a statement on Monday opposing the SAVE Act and vowing that Biden will veto it if it comes to his desk.

Biden Administration Promises to Veto any Legislative Effort That Blocks Vote or Ballot Fraud.  The people behind Joe Biden that used illegal voter registration, subsequent ballot harvesting, and ultimately corrupt ballot counting to install Biden into office, have threatened to veto any legislation that would impede their election fraud operation.  [Document, not shown here.]  By now we should all know the essential process being deployed.  This is the reason for the open border policies.  The Biden administration (DHS) is not "importing democrat voters."  Instead, DHS is importing people, names, that allows the state fraud process to generate ballots.  This is an important distinction.  The migrants will not use the ballots.  The DNC harvesters will collect them, fill them out (Team Obama), then the Precinct workers will scan them and count them (Team Clyburn).  Illegals don't need to vote.  They only need to exist to create a ballot.

Banking Votes and Helping Bean-Counters.  It's all over the media these days: "Bank your votes early!  Take advantage of the early vote!  As long as the polls are open for a month before Election Day, take advantage of it and make sure your vote counts!"  This conclusion is based on the theory that the reason Republicans lost in 2020 was that too many Trump-supporters put off voting until Election Day, and then somehow forgot to vote.  If they had voted early, the opportunity would not have been missed.  But we should question this theory.  Sure, voting early is infinitely preferable to not voting at all.  No doubt about it.  But voting on Election Day itself is infinitely preferable to voting early.  A wise campaign would therefore be encouraging its less motivated voters to vote early, but should actually encourage its definite voters — the ones who have never missed an election and never will — to vote on Election Day itself.

Software Expert:  Thousands of Duplicate Ballots Were Counted in Georgia 2020 Election.  On Tuesday software expert Phillip Davis testified that thousands of duplicate ballots were counted in the 2020 election in Georgia today in front of the State Election Board Committee in Georgia.  Davis testified on how election workers were cheating by counting ballots numerous times using different tabulators. [...] This was happening in Georgia during the 2020 election.  Joe Biden "won" the state by 11,779 votes after Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger promised on November 4 that the counting would be finished and President Trump's over 103,000 vote lead was insurmountable.  When you count ballots multiple times in a state anything can happen.

Representative in Charge of 2024 Democrat Precinct Ballot Counting Says "We're Riding With Biden".  By now everyone knows the national role of James Clyburn.  The South Carolina representative is in charge of regional, key-state, ballot counting in 2024 as he was in 2020.  This makes James Clyburn a very important Democrat leader to pay attention to.  At the conclusion of today's meeting of Democrat representatives, James Clyburn five times assured the DNC is, "Ridin' With Biden."  [Video clip]  Clyburn is focused on ballot counting operations within Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Virginia and Nevada.  As we follow the AME network, there appear to be approximately 12 cities and municipal regions (key urban areas) where Clyburn's personnel within specific voting precincts will receive ballots from DNC harvesting operations and lead the ballot counting initiatives.

Remember That Time CNN Accidentally Caught A Ballot Stuffer Live In Action During A Live Broadcast?  CNN accidentally caught a lady stuffing a ballot box on live TV in 2020.  They went on to call it the most safe and secure election in history.  [Video clip]

Elon Musk's Election Integrity Crusade.  Elon Musk believes that the Democrats are fixing to steal the election, and he isn't afraid to say so.  That's a pretty bold assertion, but this is the man who decided to make reusable rockets and did what most rocket scientists thought was impossible.  He isn't afraid of bold.  [Advertisement]  [Tweet]  Musk has been pushing for paper ballots over electronic voting for quite a while now and has been pointing to insecurities in the mail-in ballot system for months.  But now he has a new crusade: backing the SAVE Act and criticizing the Democrats for opposing a simple measure to require proof of citizenship for voting.  Musk has been ringing the alarm about the ease with which illegal aliens can vote, but his campaign against election fraud has gone up a notch due to the massive Democrat opposition to the simple requirement that voters be citizens.  [Tweet]

The Caesar cipher and stacking the deck in New York State voter rolls.  Voters in New York State are identified by two identification numbers.  This study has discovered strong evidence that both numbers have been algorithmically manipulated to produce steganographically concealed record attribute information.  One of the several algorithms discovered has been solved.  It first utilizes a mechanism nearly identical to the simple 'Caesar Cipher' to change the order of a group of ID numbers.  Then, it interlaces them the way a deck of cards is arranged to create a 'stacked deck'.  The algorithmic modifications create hidden structure within voter ID numbers.  The structure can be used to covertly tag fraudulent records for later use.

Musk Identifies the Traitors.  Speaker Mike Johnson recently took to Twitter to promote a new bill that would strengthen protections against noncitizens illegally voting in federal elections.  Called the SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility), the proposed legislation would require state election officials to require proof of citizenship before distributing voter registration forms.  He received some unexpected love for his post from Elon Musk, who weighed in saying that anyone who opposes this legislation is a TRAITOR.

Elon Musk Warns Democrats Are Planning to Steal More Elections With Non-Citizens' Votes.  Business mogul Elon Musk has warned that Democrats are planning to steal more federal elections by allowing people who are not U.S. citizens to vote.  According to Axios, House Democrats are predictably planning to strike down legislation that would require proof of U.S. citizenship to vote in federal elections.  Responding to podcaster Tim Pool, Musk said the reason that Democrats are doing this is because they "want to cheat" in federal elections, as they have done repeatedly over recent election cycles.  [Tweet]

It's the only way they can win.
Wisconsin Supreme Court Reinstates Unstaffed Drop Boxes Ahead Of 2024 Election.  In a 4-3 decision that reverses their own 2022 prohibition on unmanned dropboxes, the justices agreed with Democrats who argued that the Wisconsin Supreme Court had previously misinterpreted the law in its 2022 ruling, and wrongly concluded that absentee ballots can only be returned to a clerk in their office, and not to a drop box that is located elsewhere.  "What if we just got it wrong?" said Justice Jill Karofsky during May arguments.  "What if we made a mistake?  Are we now supposed to just perpetuate that mistake into the future?"

Clearing the Way for Fraud?  Wisconsin Supreme Court OKs Use of Ballot Drop Boxes in November.  The debate over whether massive fraud occurred during the 2020 presidential election will continue.  But as many states have since overhauled their election laws and practices, there may be some outposts of questionable election rules that Democrats can still depend on.  One of those places might just be Wisconsin.  On Friday, the Wisconsin Supreme Court overturned its own decision and ruled 4-3 that ballot drop boxes can be used in any location in the Badger state during the November presidential election.  The court ruled in July of 2022 that the boxes could only be used in a limited capacity in places like local election clerks' offices, and the voters themselves must be the ones to return the ballot.  A conservative majority on the court at that time kept the use of drop boxes at bay.  But in April 2023, liberals took over the court.  In February 2024, Priorities USA, a progressive voter mobilization group petitioned the court to revisit the ruling:  [Tweet]

Ballot boxes will see 'expanded use' in Wisconsin this year.  If you're somehow operating under the illusion that the 2024 presidential election will yield a free and fair result, please dissuade yourself of that notion immediately. [...] Per Richmond, the state's supreme court restricted the use of ballot boxes a couple of years ago, requiring that they could only be placed "in local election clerks' offices" and dropping off a ballot had to be done by the voter himself.  Obviously, the latter part of the ruling was meant to safeguard against ballot harvesting practices.  But then... Wisconsin voters elected Janet Protasiewicz to the state's high court (or did they?), handing control to leftist activists in black robes, and in February, "a progressive voter mobilization group" asked the court to revisit the ballot box issue.  Lo and behold, the progressives on the court gave the progressive petitioners exactly what they wanted.

Undercover Video Exposes Illegal Aliens Admitting to Being Registered to Vote in North Carolina.  In a video posted on X, Mike Howell, Executive Director of the Heritage Oversight Project, has urged Americans to "declare independence from foreigners deciding our elections."  The video, which was produced in collaboration with Muckraker.com, presents evidence suggesting that illegal aliens are being registered to vote in the United States.  "The evidence you are about to see relates to illegal aliens being registered to vote.  This is a problem national in scale.  The United States of America is for Americans, and our elections only should be decided by them," Howell added.  The video centers around an apartment complex located at 220 Branch View in Charlotte, North Carolina.  According to Muckraker.com, the complex is primarily occupied by non-citizens.

The Coming Coup.  [Scroll down]  A final question is:  Why did our government open the borders?  In the first hours of Biden's presidency, he acted to halt construction of Trump's border wall.  Later he issued an executive order ending the Trump-era "Remain in Mexico" program.  The most moderate explanation that I've heard was that he wanted more Democrat voters.  In support of this explanation, in a 2024 interview, Kari Lake told Maria Bartiromo that "in every state around the country, you're seeing Democrats fight tooth and nail any piece of legislation which will prevent illegals from voting."  If this is true, then the dangers to national security that come with the flood of illegals might be minimized in the minds of the people who have opened our borders.  There are, of course, more radical possible explanations.  Whatever the motives of our leaders, a power-grab by people who do not believe in democracy is increasingly becoming a possibility.

James Clyburn Visits 10 Key Precincts for Ballot Collection in Three Wisconsin Cities.  Once you see the strings on the marionettes you can never watch the performance and not see them.  The same thing happens when you know the details of how ballots are different than votes, and how the ballots are manipulated.  U.S. elections are no longer about "votes," modern elections in America are about "ballots".  As we have seen in several election cycles, the election winner is not the person who gets the most votes — the election winner is the person who collects, submits and ultimately counts the most ballots.  The same is true for the presidential electoral victory; it's the person who gets the most ballots, not votes.  So, let us start by asking the right question:  What is a representative from South Carolina doing in Wisconsin visiting ten key ballot counting precincts in three key cities, Madison, Milwaukee and Beloit?

Mail-In Voting Calamity Hits UK 2 Days Before Election.  Issues with mail-in voting are already undermining Britain's July 4 snap election.  Royal Mail failures have resulted in many voters not receiving their ballots on time in over 90 constituencies (electoral districts).  Anas Sarwar, who leads the Labour Party in Scotland, complains, "One person disenfranchised is one person too many."  He notes "several cases... of people who have left to go on holiday and didn't receive their postal votes on time."  John Swinney, the First Minister of Scotland and leader of the left-separatist Scottish National Party (SNP), is complaining that the debacle could affect the election results.  Mail-in or postal voting in Britain was previously restricted to people with disabilities, soldiers serving overseas, and other select groups.  However, the previous Labour government introduced postal voting for any voter on demand.  Fraud has been plaguing British elections ever since.

The Editor says...
[#1] This is an example of a mountain that has been made out of a molehill.  How many people were affected by this glitch, out of the tens of thousands of voters in Scotland?  Two or three?  And all because they chose to go on vacation instead of reporting to the polling place on Election Day?  I find it impossible to feel sorry for them, unless they went to San Francisco on vacation.  [#2] "Fraud has been plaguing British elections ever since" they initiated mail-in voting.  Well, the obvious solution is to terminate mail-in voting.  But that would make too much sense.

Are we past the election cheating era?  Up until the 2020 elections, such cheats could count on anonymity, protections from higher-ups, prosecutors who would "null prosse" any charges, and fellow travelers who were so compromised that they couldn't reveal the misdeeds.  This insulation from consequences had been historically effective.  Looking back, the cheaters felt so confident that they would commit felonies without any real thought of the consequences.  When their guy won, everyone who helped had a get-out-of-jail-free card.  Not only were they confident that there be no allegations, no indictments, and no prosecutions, but they expected significant rewards, such as grants, cash payoffs, promotions, make-work jobs, and promises of more such goodies in the future. [...] But the world has changed.  Many of the fervent conservatives have investigated the activities of this cabal and understand how the cheating is being done.  Cameras revealed the night work of double-scanning, adding ballots, stuffing mail-in drop boxes, and more.  Computer programs can now single out addressees living 20 to a room, residing in dorms, inhabiting vacant lots and commercial building, and living out of state or double-voting.  So the care required to avoid detection is greater than it has ever been.

Who Added an Algorithm to New York State's Voter Registration Roll, and Why?  Dr. Andrew Paquette, who serves as research director of the all-volunteer citizens' group New York Citizens Audit (NYCA), has proven that New York state's voter registration roll now contains an algorithm designed to facilitate election fraud.  One must understand how voter registration data works to appreciate just how serious this is.  All registration data is predicated on algorithms, which are basically equations added into the registration in chronological sequence to transform a voter identification number ("Voter ID No.") into a code.  In an honest system, the voter who registers first gets Voter ID No. 1, the second voter to register gets Voter ID No. 2, etc.  In other words, there's a direct correlation between the date order of registration and the ID No., with the ID Nos. increasing by increments of one.  However, Dr. Paquette has discovered a different algorithm.  This one changes the Voter ID No. assignment so that the ID Nos. no longer increase by increments of one that are tied to the order in which voters register.  Instead, the ID Nos. appear scrambled, with no linear sequential order.  Why would someone do this?

Maricopa County Election Worker Nabbed for Stealing Security Fob and Keys.  Maricopa County, Arizona, often seems to be at the center of voting integrity issues.  Allegations of meddling and even fraud have swirled since 2020 after Trump's loss to Biden in the presidential election and then again after former GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake's 2022 defeat by Democrat Katie Hobbs.  Lake contested the outcome but was not successful in her attempts to convince the courts to overturn it.  Now CNN is reporting that an election worker has been caught on tape stealing security keys: [...] RNC Chair Michael Whatley emailed a statement on the matter Tuesday, saying the "incident raises serious questions about election security in Arizona that must be answered."

49 States Including Maine Are Handing Voter Registration Forms to Illegal Immigrants Applying for Welfare.  A new report from the New York Post has revealed that welfare seekers — including non-citizens who are ineligible to vote — are receiving voter registration forms in 49 states, including Maine, when they sign up for taxpayer-funded benefits.  "Another 'conspiracy theory' turns out to be true," said Elon Musk on X in response to the information.  [Tweet]  The immigrants applying for welfare, many of whom are in the country illegally and are remaining here on parole awaiting asylum hearings set for years in the future, are not asked to provide proof of citizenship before they are given the registration forms.  In the majority of states, anyone applying for welfare or seeking a driver's license is also issued voter registration forms, according to the NY Post investigation.  Many welfare benefits are available to non-citizens, who are often supported entirely by U.S. taxpayers after they enter the country, and, in some states like Massachusetts and New York, drivers licenses are issued to all individuals regardless of immigration status.  Arizona is the only state that does not hand out voter registration forms to welfare applicants regardless of citizenship.

49 States Are Now Supplying 'Non-Citizens' With Voter Registration Forms.  Illegal aliens and other "non-citizens" can receive voter registration forms without needing to show proof of citizenship in at least 49 states.  They can use these forms to access welfare benefits and obtain driver's licenses and mail-in ballots.  Only Arizona has passed a law preventing this — but it applies only to state forms, not federal ones.  The National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) of 1993 mandates that states facilitate voter registration at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and welfare offices.  These agencies must provide voter registration forms alongside application papers.  Without a federal law requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration forms, migrants can simply claim to be U.S. citizens to register to vote, easily bypassing the official ban on non-citizens voting.

Tracking Nevada's Dirty Voter Rolls.  Looking for William Sitton at the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas?  He doesn't live there anymore.  In fact, he doesn't live anywhere anymore.  He's dead.  "William Sitton passed away last year.  I know that for a fact," a corrections official told Lauren Bis, director of communication and engagement for the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF).  So, it's curious why Nevada elections officials continued to list the late William Sitton on the local voter rolls earlier this year when the decedent clearly won't be voting anytime soon.  It's downright alarming that hundreds of questionable addresses remain on Nevada's voter rolls, and elections officials in this pivotal swing state appear to be doing nothing to clean up the list.  In a rematch of the 2020 presidential election in which Democrat challenger Joe Biden squeezed out a narrow victory over Republican President Donald Trump in the Silver State, every vote will be scrutinized.  Particularly in a state that automatically mails a ballot to every active registrant on the voter rolls.

Four Democrat Leaders Arrested in Bridgeport, Connecticut Were Caught Stuffing Ballots into Drop Boxes!.  Four Democrat leaders were arrested and charged this week with election fraud in Bridgeport, Connecticut.  The voter fraud was tied to a 2019 mayoral primary race.  Bridgeport City Councilman Alfredo Castillo, Vice Chair of Bridgeport's Democrat Party Wanda Geter-Pataky were charged with election tampering.  Two campaign workers Nilsa Heredia and Josephine Edmonds were charged with election fraud and unlawfully possessing another person's absentee ballot.

Michigan Dems Change Election Laws to Prevent Fraud Detection, Challenges.  GOP lawmakers and election-integrity watchdogs were sounding the alarm after Michigan Democrats passed a series of laws that will prevent vote fraud from being easily detected or challenged in future elections, the Michigan Advance reported.  Republicans in the state outlined some of the Left's more egregious moves from the past two years at an event in Lansing on Wednesday.  For instance, SBs 603 and 604, which currently await the signature of far-left Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, would make it more difficult and expensive to request recounts and would restrict county election canvassers from initiating investigations into vote fraud.  Furthermore, Democrats passed the Michigan Voting Rights Act in 2023, a law which forces all local governments to help minority groups vote — including those who do not speak English and potentially even illegal immigrants.  In light of these radical changes, GOP state Sen. Jonathan Lindsey said Democrats were steadily codifying "the ability to manipulate elections in the law."

In England:
Mass postal voting is endangering our democracy.  Have you voted yet?  That might seem an odd question to ask when this interminable general election campaign has more than two long weeks to run, but some people may already have cast their ballot by post.  June 19 is the deadline for applying for a postal vote, but if you were quick out of the blocks when Rishi Sunak made his rain-soaked announcement on May 22, you could well have had your application approved by now.  Once all candidates are in place, the ballot papers are sent out.  There was a time, not that long ago, when to qualify for a postal vote required absence from the constituency on election day or infirmity making it impossible to vote in person.  Then the Blair government — responsible for so many constitutional excrescences — decided in its wisdom to let anyone who wished to vote by post do so.  The Representation of the People Act 2000 introduced absent voting on demand, repealing the 1872 Ballot Act, which was passed to end the fraud and bribery that used to accompany elections when voting was open.  It's simple, really.  If people vote in the privacy of the polling booth, they cannot be intimidated and can always claim to have supported a particular party even if they haven't.  This is a vital safeguard of our democracy yet it is undermined by postal voting on demand.

How many of the 500,000 newly 'legalized' US 'citizens' will vote this November?  The recent executive order by President Biden is an alarming move that essentially grants mass amnesty to around 500,000 illegal aliens.  This isn't just about immigration policy; it's a blatant election-year maneuver to secure votes.  By shielding these individuals from deportation and providing them with a pathway to permanent residency, Biden is ensuring a significant boost in voter support, particularly from Hispanic and Latino communities.  This is not just an opinion; it's backed by the numbers and the timing.  House Homeland Security Committee Chair Mark Green rightly called this move an "eleventh-hour ploy for mass amnesty." The timing couldn't be more suspicious.  Just months before the crucial 2024 elections, Biden's administration decides to grant legal status to half a million individuals who were previously ineligible to vote.  This isn't about humanitarian efforts; it's about securing votes.

Swing state election boards engaged in legal battles over election certification ahead of November.  County election boards in swing states across the country are engaged in legal battles over election certification ahead of the November elections, while others were threatened with legal action if they didn't certify election results.  With the presidential election less than five months away, county election board members are either initiating or find themselves the subject of legal actions over the certification of elections.  That process occurs before the state can certify election results.  The central issue is whether election boards must certify election results or if they have discretion over certification, with Democrats largely favoring the former option and Republicans believing the latter.  Last month, Julie Adams, a Republican member of the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections (BRE), filed a lawsuit against the county, board, and election director, in which she claimed Fulton County Elections Director Nadine Williams prevented her from accessing information and performing her duties.  The lawsuit was filed before Adams abstained from certifying the May 21 primary election in Fulton County on May 28.

320,000 Ghost Voters [have been] Identified in Must-Win State of Michigan.  With the Soros-backed Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson at the helm, who is arguably the dirtiest Secretary of State in the nation, Michigan could easily become the blueprint for other states on how to steal elections effectively.  While Democrats used every dirty trick in the book to prevent their opponents from watching them steal the election in 2020, the GOP and Independent poll challengers were able to identify the biggest fraud taking place in plain sight — dirty voter rolls, courtesy of MI SOS Jocelyn Benson.  Votes were being processed at the TCF Center by election workers, even though the voter's names didn't appear in the electronic poll books or supplemental poll books.  Poll challengers had no way of knowing if they were watching votes being cast by dead or imaginary voters, as the voter rolls were so over-bloated that it was impossible for them to check for the legitimacy of the so-called 150,000 "voters" who pushed Biden to an alleged victory in the must-win state of Michigan.

Elon Musk Calls For Ban on Fraud Enabling Voting Machines.  Elon Musk has called for the scrapping of electronic voting machines, warning they are at high risk of being hacked and manipulated by bad actors.  Posting on the X platform, Musk responded to a post from independent presidential candidate, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who himself was weighing on the recent irregularities that took place during Puerto Rico's primary elections. [...] As long reported by The Gateway Pundit, electronic voting machines are one of the many methods that Democrats and their electoral allies have used to steal elections.  The most notable example of this was in 2020, when machines played an important part in swinging the election to Joe Biden.  This is not the first time that Musk, who has a following of nearly 188 million people, has warned about the risks to America's electoral system.  Last month, he reposted a video urging whistleblowers to come forward to report irregularities ahead of the 2024 presidential election.  [Tweet]

Michigan voter fraud exposed: 'If you want to live forever, register to vote'.  While many Americans are aware that elections haven't exactly been fair, Sara Gonzales has put in the time to figure out exactly why that is.  Gonzales took a trip down to Michigan to find out for her latest Blaze Originals documentary, "Voter Fraud:  Exposed," in which she looked into voter fraud in the state alongside Charlie LeDuff.  LeDuff, who is the host of "No BS News Hour" and a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, notes that an impossible 105% of adults in Michigan are registered to vote.  "You have 8.3 million registered voters, and you have slightly under 7.9 million adults," he explains.  "Not all adults in Michigan are citizens, so right there you have a problem."

The Guy Who Organizes Ballot Counting, Says Election Results Will Not Match Polling.  Hopefully readers here know exactly who James Clyburn is and what his function consists of within the Democrat party election process.  Remember, elections are no longer about "votes," modern elections are about "ballots".  The election winner is not the person who gets the most votes.  The election winner is the person who collects, submits and counts the most ballots.  The contest for electoral victory is who gains the most ballots, not votes.  That said, at the end of the ballot harvesting operation in the key state counties for Democrats, there are precinct workers who are then tasked with counting those ballots.  The number of ballots needed to change the outcome of the election, is essentially the determining factor in how many ballots the precinct workers in the key districts count.  Most of the regional precinct workers in the key counties that change the elections, are affiliated with and originate from the AME church network.

How non-citizens are getting voter registration forms across the US.  Welfare offices and other agencies in 49 US states are providing voter registration forms to migrants without requiring proof of citizenship, leading Republicans and conservatives to call for swift federal action to stop the handouts.  Every state but Arizona — which recently passed a law barring the practice on state but not federal forms — gives applicants for either welfare benefits, driver's licenses, or in some cases, mail-in ballots voter registration forms without demanding proof of citizenship.  There is currently no requirement on federal voting forms to provide proof of US citizenship, though it is illegal to falsely claim one is a citizen or for a non-citizen to cast a ballot in a federal election.  But millions of migrants with humanitarian parole, refugee or asylum status are eligible for benefits that would bring them to the offices where voter registration takes place.

RNC Declares 'Victory' in Judge Ruling on Michigan Secretary of State's Signature Verification Rule.  A Michigan judge partially ruled against Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson's lenient guidance on signature verification, following a lawsuit brought by the Republican National Committee.  On Wednesday, Michigan Court of Claims Judge Christopher Yates ruled "that the 'initial presumption' of validity in signature verification of absentee-ballot applications and envelopes mandated by the December 2023 guidance manual" issued by Benson "is incompatible with the Constitution and laws of the State of Michigan."  The RNC, Michigan Republican Party, and the National Republican Congressional Committee filed the lawsuit.

Leftist-Led Wisconsin Supreme Court Upholds Ban On 'Voting Booth On Wheels,' For Now.  In a victory for election integrity, the left-led Wisconsin Supreme Court has upheld a lower court ban on mobile voting units — at least for now.  But the same 4-3 ruling hands Democrats a win in staying the circuit court's ruling barring alternate absentee ballot collection sites "in locations that confer a 'partisan advantage'" to one party, as state law dictates.  Wisconsin's high court is expected to rule on the merits of the case sometime in the fall.  In its ruling staying the order on alternate sites, the liberal majority employed the oft-turned argument that changing "the status quo that has governed every election since 2016" would confuse the process and the voter.

One giant problem using geotracking to prove Trump directed 'insurrection'.  True the Vote paid $2 million through commercial brokers for the cell phone "geotracking" or "geolocator" data from swing states leading up to the presidential election.  Using the pinpoint precision of the forensic technique of geotracking, ballot "mules" — like "drug mules" who carry illegal drugs across the border for criminal cartels — took sacks of ballots provided by leftwing political activist organizations and repeatedly dumped those ballots in collection boxes.  Over 2,000 of the tracked phones were geolocated in the immediate vicinity of 10 or more ballot drop boxes.  True the Vote then analyzed the GPS data to show the mules visited left-wing nonprofit organizations, then drove to many different ballot drop boxes on the same day, repeatedly — day after day, for weeks.  Under the guise of dropping off grandma's ballot, mules visited 10 to 100 different drop boxes and did it over again the next day and the next and the next.  One ballot mule visited drop boxes in six different counties.  Geotracking also indicated that at least 10% of the ballot mules were participants in the violent Antifa riots that wracked America throughout the summer of 2020.  Usually between the hours of 1 a.m. and 4 a.m., mules are seen in "2000 Mules" wearing surgical gloves as they stuff ballots into the drop boxes.  Then they remove the surgical gloves and toss them into nearby trash cans.

'Wanda the Stuffer' finally arrested on election fraud charges.  Well, we've always been told that the US boasts the safest and fairest elections in the world and that absolutely no one cheats — so it's downright shocking to hear another story about Democratic operatives being arrested for election fraud, isn't it? [...] At last, one notorious "ballot stuffer" named Wanda Geter-Pataky, who was caught on film allegedly jamming ballot boxes to the brim, has finally been nabbed in Bridgeport, Connecticut.  She's facing charges of election fraud and witness tampering related to a 2019 mayoral campaign.  But really, this bust just scratches the surface, doesn't it?

Puerto Rico is part of the U.S., of course.
After US Now Dominion Voting Systems Sparks Election Scandal In Puerto Rico.  According to the commission's interim president Jessika Padilla Rivera, Puerto Rico's elections commission began evaluating its Dominion Voting Systems contract after software glitches miscalculated vote totals in the June 2 primaries.  Following the contentious primaries on the island, hundreds of anomalies were found, prompting Puerto Rico's elections commission to announce on Tuesday that it is evaluating its contract with a US electronic voting company.  The Dominion Voting Systems-supplied machines were miscalculating vote totals due to a software glitch, according to the commission's interim president, Jessika Padilla Rivera.  While the June 2 primary results that accurately identify the winners are uncontested, in several situations, the machine-reported vote totals were less than the paper ones, and in other cases, the machine-reported totals reversed or indicated zero votes for certain candidates.

My Testimony at the Eastman Disbarment Trial.  About a year ago, I received a phone call from John Eastman, the prominent constitutional scholar.  He was facing disbarment proceedings for the advice he had given President Trump, had read my book (Debunked), and wanted me to testify on his behalf at the forthcoming California disbarment trial.  Of course, I was eager to testify because I believed (and still believe) that the six key swing state elections in 2020 were not certifiable.  The specific reasons are laid out in the book.  Originally, I was one of seven "experts" selected by Eastman and his attorney, Randy Miller.  As experts, we would be able to give our opinions regarding the integrity of the election.  However, well financed attorneys for the California State Bar Association (SBA) immediately objected — to every witness.  Most of the time, Judge Yvette Roland was eager to oblige the SBA.  In my case, Judge Roland ignored the fact that I was a veteran auditor and CPA, had written a comprehensive numbers-based book on the 2020 election, had written a book describing 23 ways we can improve our elections, and had published at least 25 articles on the subject.

Dominion Machines Under Scrutiny After 'Hundreds' of Discrepancies Detected in Primary..  Dominion Voting Systems' electronic voting machines contract with the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico is under threat after contentious primaries produced upset results.  According to election officials, some machines reported zero votes for certain candidates or reversed count totals.  Counts reported by machines were also sometimes lower than paper counts.  "The concern is that we obviously have elections in November, and we must provide the [island] not only with the assurance that the machine produces a correct result but also that the result it produces is the same one that is reported," said Jessika Padilla, interim president of Puerto Rico's elections commission.  She attributed the issues to problems in the machines' software.

Four campaign workers in Connecticut [have been] charged with mishandling absentee ballots.  Four campaign workers in Connecticut on Tuesday were charged with mishandling absentee ballots in a 2019 Democratic mayoral primary, including one of the city's council members, and a Democratic Party official.  The four campaign workers, who took part in handling absentee ballots during the election in Bridgeport, Connecticut, were each charged with unlawful possession of absentee ballots, along with various other election law violations.  The 2019 primary saw incumbent Mayor Joe Ganim, beat state Sen. Marilyn Moore by just 270 votes, according to the Associated Press.  Among those charged are Bridgeport Democratic Town Committee Vice Chairperson Wanda Geter-Pataky, City Council Member Alfredo Castillo, and campaign workers Nilsa Heredia and Josephine Edmonds.

Massive Government Spending Equals Broken Elections.  Our voting system itself has been corrupted.  We are constantly told that our elections are "fair and honest," and "there is no proof that there was anything wrong in 2020 or 2022."  A December survey by veteran pollster Scott Rasmussen destroyed that narrative once and for all.  When asked, more than 20% of voters who used mail-in ballots in 2020 admitted that they had participated in at least one form of election fraud. [...] And the safeguard for mail-in voting — signature matching — has now been minimized or ignored in many states.  This means that our entire election system has fallen apart.  Anyone can fill in an absentee ballot for someone else, with no repercussions.  Unless we demand a return to elections that follow all mandated procedures to the letter, our votes won't be counted accurately, and the will of the voters will be ignored in favor of those who are willing to cheat.  But the American people aren't the only ones who are cheating.  Independent nonpartisan research groups such as United Sovereign Americans have sprung up across the country and are finding millions of illegal entries in state voter databases that facilitate voting manipulation.

Combatting the 'Long Count'.  The Trump era has seen a new election phenomenon:  Modern-day American Bolsheviks in blue cities have been distorting local elections by counting votes well past election day.  Fortunately, there are ways to combat this election distortion plague. [...] With modern computer technology and high-speed scanners, we're told we must count votes well past election day, even with early voting available long before election day.  This is true in many jurisdictions, particularly and notably in big, "blue" Democrat cities. [...] Once the polls close and Democrats determine the bogey, they continue counting, either by repeatedly scanning the same [Democrat] ballots or by bringing in additional pre-printed ballots from outside until enough ballots are "counted" (really created, retrieved, or recounted), until they've assured a Democrat victory.  We all remember in 2020 in Atlanta, Las Vegas, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, and Phoenix that the 'Long Count' resulted in a Democrat win — every single time. The same technique and outcome played out in Phoenix in 2022.

How Do You Legally Administer and Certify Elections Using Uncertifiable Electronic Voting Machines?  Last year I exposed massive election fraud in the altering of "Official Election Records" by Julie Marcus the current Pinellas County Supervisor of Elections.  I was forced to sue Julie Marcus and her Deputy Dustin Chase over their illegal altering and withholding of "Official Public Records".  I also exposed how the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections office also altered "Official Elections Records".  I detailed how someone within the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Office went to far to cover up "Election Fraud" within their office that they backdate the computer used to generate the reports and forgot that they had altered the computer system date to 09/01/1984. This shocking revelation was first reported by the Miami Independent.  Then we caught Craig Latimer, the current Hillsborough County Supervisor of Elections, who then tried to cover up the illicit activities in his office, claiming that their office was hacked and the identities of tens of thousands of South Tampa voters were compromised.  This too was also covered by the Miami Independent.

Arizona GOP lawsuit:  At least half a million unaccounted-for enrolled voters.  Research into Arizona's voter rolls discovered between 500,000 and 1.27 million invalid registrations, including deceased people and those who have left the state, according to a lawsuit filed this week by the Arizona Republican Party and the Arizona Free Enterprise Club against Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes.  Several counties were found to have "outrageous voter registration rates," with some having a total list of voter names that exceeded "100% of eligible voters."  "Accurate voter rolls are the bedrock of our constitutional republic," said Gina Swoboda, chairwoman of the Arizona Republican Party. "The rampant presence of ineligible voters on our rolls is unacceptable and undermines the trust Arizonans place in our electoral process."  The lawsuit seeks judicial action in ordering the state to clean up its voter rolls and implement an effective system that prevents such discrepancies from occurring again.

Oops!
1,900 New Jersey ballots whose envelopes were opened early must be counted, judge rules.  A state judge on Friday ruled that some 1,900 mail ballots in a New Jersey county whose envelopes were prematurely opened should be accepted and counted.  Superior Court Judge Michael J. Blee ruled from the bench in the case involving 1,909 mail ballots in southern New Jersey's Atlantic County.  The order could decide the outcome of the Democratic primary in the race for the state's 2nd Congressional District, where businessman Joe Salerno holds a 400-vote lead over attorney Tim Alexander in unofficial results.

The Editor says...
The simplest and most likely explanation is that the ballots were "prematurely opened" so the Socialists could see how far behind they were and "find" that many more ballots somewhere.  "Accidents" of this sort always benefit the lying, cheating, baby-killing socialist Democrats.

There is one thing America's Democrat party loyalists will never do.  By now, every one of us should be able to recite by heart many of the progressive Democrats' officious, fascist acts, including:
  •   Convicting the Democrats' #1 political opponent on aptly named trumped-up charges
  •   Incarcerating those exercising their First Amendment free-speech rights to "Stop the Steal"
  •   Sanctioning mob violence across the country that advances causes the Democrat party holds dear
  •   Labeling as "domestic terrorists" pro-lifers, as well as parents concerned about the grooming of their children
  •   Categorizing legitimate news stories as "conspiracy theories"
  •   Opening the southern border to overwhelm the country's system of legal entry and path to citizenship to spread division and hatred and, through the census, reconfigure Democrat House representation and control
And on and on and on[.]  After all this outrageous nonsense from the Democratic Left, there will still be people within our circle of family and friends who insist that the 2020 election was on the up and up.  That's the one thing the omerta code demands:  Do not acknowledge irregularities in that election.

Cancelling the election:  The facts.  The Manhattan (or the Atlanta, or the Florida, or the D.C.) show trial was supposed to be the ultimate anti-Trump weapon, the death-blow that would halve his electoral support and leave his MAGA followers reeling.  But this, needless to say, failed to happen. [...] So now they're desperate.  They need to come up with something, and what will it be?  We'll get to that.  But one thing we can leave out is that perennial favorite, calling off the election.  We hear this every election year, from one side or the other.  It has been said about Reagan, about Clinton, about George W., about Obama, about Trump, and now about Biden.  But it never happens.  It never happens because (apart from it being political suicide) there is no provision in U.S. law for calling off a presidential election. [...] What's that you say?  Martial law?  The federal response to an emergency of nationwide scope is embodied in the National Emergencies Act of 1976.  There's nothing about elections in there either.

Minnesota allows for permanent absentee voting.  Any Minnesota voter can now sign up for a permanent absentee ballot.  As of June 1, Minnesota joined eight other states and Washington, D.C. to allow all voters, irrespective of disability status or age, to register online to permanently vote absentee.  This will allow voting as early as 46 days before an election.  To leave the permanent absentee list, the voter must send a written request to their county elections office.  Absentee ballots will no longer be sent to the voter's address if it's returned as undeliverable, the voter is pronounced dead by the county or if their status becomes "challenged" or "inactive."  Residents can apply at mnvotes.gov/register.  Those who wish to apply for absentee for only one election at a time can visit the same website.  Ballots will still not count if received after election day, whether by mail, at a dropoff location or at the elections office.  In addition to the new absentee rules, Minnesota residents can also now provide a description of their residence if they don't have a specific address.  This can include cardinal directions or distance from the closest crossroads.  Twenty other states feature this on their voter registration forms, as does the National Mail Voter Registration Form.

The State of the Coup.  In late 2020, everyone in the country knew the election had been stolen.  We went to bed knowing the election was Trump's and awoke the next day to the incomprehensible.  We learned that the vote counting in the critical precincts in the battleground states had stopped, early in the morning, in perfect synch, with the Republican observers sent home.  The Democrat faithful then continued the count into the dark hours, and before sunrise, Biden was given a miraculous, unprecedented, and statistically impossible surge, wherever it was needed.  Thousands of affidavits attested to criminal behaviors in the vote count, but anti-Trump treachery prevailed at the Justice Department, from William Barr at the head and down the line.  The Supreme Court pathetically declined any involvement, claiming that 22 states had "no standing" to challenge the corrupted results in the battleground states that had put Biden over the top.

Dinesh D'Souza's Film '2000 Mules' Removed from All Platforms.  Salem Media Group removed Dinesh D'Sounza's 2020 election film, '2000 Mules,' from all streaming services and platforms.  They even apologized and promised never to air it again.  It's the result of a Georgia man, Mark Andrews, suing Salem Media for defamation.  He faced threats to his life and his reputation had been damaged.  Mark Andrews filed his lawsuit in 2022.  In the filing, he claimed, "2000 Mules made false claims leading to threats of violence against him and his family.  It was widely circulated and promoted by Donald Trump. [...] This was part of an undisclosed larger settlement.  Mr. Andrews, with his face blurred, was pictured depositing his ballot and his family's files into a drop box.

Your vote is now diluted even further:
Even Dems alarmed as illegal aliens, 11-year-olds allowed to vote on some Boston expenditures.  A new program in Boston will allow illegal aliens and kids as young as 11 to have a say on the way that the city spends millions of dollars.  In 2021, Bostonians voted to approve the establishment of the Office of Participatory Budgeting, and participatory budgeting means exactly what it says:  giving voters the opportunity to participate in the way a portion of the city's budget is spent.  This year, as part of far-left Democrat Mayor Michelle Wu's fiscal year 2025 budget proposal, that office's purpose will finally be put into practice.  By September, Wu and her team will compile a list of 15 community projects.  Then in January, voters will select — either online or in person — five of them to receive a portion of the $2 million allotted for OPB spending.  Though $2 million sounds like a lot of money, it's actually just a tiny fraction of the city's overall budget, which in 2024 was more than $4.2 billion.

The Editor says...
I presume that "None of the above — just refund the money to the taxpayers" is not one of the options.

Desperate, Lying Biden May Abuse AI To Pull The Ultimate Race Hoax.  Consider, if you will (even those who have been so conditioned by threat of defamation suit never to speak of it), the possibility that the Biden presidency was built upon a major deception: an intentionally stolen election that relied upon illegal ballot-harvesting, manipulation of voting machines and a hodgepodge of factors involving a vast network of intricate moving pieces, each knowing just a small part in the larger script so as to ensure plausible deniability.  Open your mind, furthermore, to the theoretical premise that Jan. 6 was a false-flag operation intended to derail and deflate the resistance — millions of liberty-loving Americans who witnessed the crime playing out in plain sight while being told their senses were deceiving them and that their own biases and bigotry were the real problem with democracy.  Imagine that the entire lawfare campaign of more than 90 felony charges against former President Donald Trump was little more than a political construct with no legal basis whatsoever, and that those waging this stunning affront on American jurisprudence did so with full awareness of their offense and the implications it may have, but were willing to stake it for their own potential benefit.  And lastly, recognize that everything sandwiched in between these massive conspiracies was a series of smaller lies designed to blunt American voters' sense of moral outrage and indignation as would China's notorious "death by a thousand cuts."

Former Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis's Colorado law license revoked for three years.  Former Trump attorney Jenna Ellis on Tuesday agreed to have her law license in Colorado suspended for three years for her role in the alleged effort to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.  Ellis agreed to plead guilty to one count of one aiding and abetting false statements and writings in October.  The plea deal was agreed to and arranged by prosecutors in Georgia as part of the Georgia 2020 election interference case.  A presiding disciplinary judge approved the settlement agreement between Ellis and Colorado's Attorney Counsel, and said that if Ellis wanted to return to law in the state before the three year punishment was up, she would need to file a petition to reinstate the license.

The Hunting of Sidney Powell, Part 5.  As previous installments in this series reported, Sidney Powell (among others) is the target of defamation suits filed by Eric Coomer, a former director of product strategy and security for Dominion Voting Systems, by Dominion Voting Systems itself, by Smartmatic (another voting software company), by Venezuelan businessman Majed Khalil, and by an individual named Staci Burk in Arizona (who brought bizarre claims for damages arising out of challenges to the 2020 election and related activities). [...] Coomer sued multiple parties over statements and accusations, which were based on sworn witness affidavits, that he participated in an Antifa-organized conference call wherein he supposedly ensured listeners that President Donald Trump would not win the 2020 election.  Though as Powell noted to The Stream, "Even though I recited only what sworn evidence in my hand showed," her efforts to get Coomer's defamation case against her dismissed were only partially successful, as the Colorado Court of Appeals dismissed the conspiracy claims, but none of the others.  The case is expected to go to the Colorado Supreme Court.  Coomer and Dominion also sued the nonprofit Powell founded, Defending the Republic, even though it did not exist at the time the statements were made.

Attorney Dr. John Eastman Speaks Out About Far-Left Lawfare, Election Fraud and How to Win in 2024.  Dr. John Eastman appeared in Michigan on Thursday evening [5/16/2024] to a packed room of election integrity activists and continue to correct the false media-driven narrative regarding voter fraud.  Michigan Fair Elections (MFE) hosted the event in Lansing, Mich. where roughly 150 patriots attended a gathering where Eastman addressed the lawfare he is enduring, the nature of the fight for our country, and the prospects for Republican victory in 2024.  In addition to being charged alongside President Trump for criminal election racketeering in Georgia, Dr. John Eastman was recommended for disbarment by a California Bar Judge in March for fighting back against voter fraud in the aftermath of 2020 presidential election.  Eastman is among the most prominent attorneys whose reputation and livelihood are getting destroyed for representing Trump and challenging the corrupt status quo.  Eastman explained during his speech that rogue county clerks and local officials blatantly violated election law to allow a tidal wave of election fraud, with bureaucrats and courts content to look the other way.

The "Widespread" Misinformation Campaign on Voting Fraud.  For years now, whenever someone on the right raises the issue of voting fraud, the "fraud deniers" respond by using one word to disingenuously negate the claims[:]  "Widespread."  They can't say there isn't ANY voting fraud because there have been too many proven cases of it.  So they try to mislead the public by constantly inserting the word "widespread."  Here's a recent example from just this past Thursday[:]  A coalition of 126 left-leaning groups penned a letter to Congress in opposition to the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act which has been proposed to require proof of citizenship in order to register to vote.  In it they wrote that "there is simply no evidence of widespread noncitizen voting in elections."  Of course, there IS evidence that noncitizens ARE voting in our elections.  So they have to insert the word "widespread" to [...] mislead the public.

VA Records Show 'Non-Citizens' Voting.  Progressive-aligned media outlets often claim (without citation) that non-citizens who vote illegally "almost never happens."  Virginia's own Dept. of Elections records say otherwise.  As of May, 2023, the department removed 1,481 registrations for "non-citizen status" from the Commonwealth's official voter rolls, according to its maintenance records.  Of those removals, Electoral Process Education Corporation (EPEC) has identified voting records of over 800 ballots cast by voters the Commonwealth has designated as "non-citizen" for the reason they were removed from official rolls.  Their voting histories go back to at least 2019.  If non-citizens are voting repeatedly, which the department's public records reflect, that would mean non-legal votes are canceling out legal ballots for more than 800 votes that we know about.

It's High Time We Kicked All the Tyrants and Traitors to the Curb.  Since Joe Biden's administration has assumed the highest seat of power, the tyrannical witch hunt against January 6 demonstrators, who were truly mostly peaceful, continues.  When some of the Capitol doors were opened or gates removed by the police, even those people who did not go inside "The People's House" but remained outside on the lawn are still being rounded up and put in jail.  All they desired to do that day was state the obvious in signs that read, "Stop the Steal."  What are they getting for exercising their First Amendment right?  Incarceration.  It is as if the Biden administration is telling citizens, "Hey, not only did we not steal the 2020 election, but we will also put you in jail just for saying that we did."  Or, put another more brazen way:  "Yes, we did steal the 2020 election, and we are going to arrest you for noticing.  And there is nothing you can do about it."  This is all part of the fabulous "fundamental transformation" of America that Barack Obama promised on the campaign trail in 2008.  Yes, President Trump spoiled his plans for four years, starting with the 2016 election, but the manipulation of the 2020 presidential election results solidly got the plan back on track.

Lawyer and Witness in FOIA Denial Case Indicted by Michigan's Attorney General.  The legal battle over an election-related Freedom of Information Act request has ignited a political firestorm in Michigan.  Macomb County resident Michael Butz filed a brief in the circuit court on May 6 containing evidence of alleged inaccuracies on the state's voter roll.  Two days later, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, a Democrat, indicted Mr. Butz's lawyer and a whistleblower supporting his case, alleging election misconduct dating back two to three years.  Six days later, on May 14, 2024, in Hillsdale County District Court, Mr. Butz's attorney Stefanie Lambert, 42, was arraigned and pleaded not guilty to three counts of alleged election-related felonies.  At the same hearing, whistleblower Stephanie Scott, 52, pleaded not guilty to five felony counts and a misdemeanor.  Ms. Scott is a former clerk of Hillsdale County's Adams Township.  The alleged crimes are related to Ms. Scott's refusal to delete election records, her procuring an independent forensics expert to analyze them, and her reluctance to turn over certain voting equipment under her care to county and state authorities.

Illegal Aliens Admit Flooding Border before Election: 'We Don't Want Trump'.  Illegal aliens are admitting that they are rushing to cross the border into the United States before the critical November presidential election.  Many say they are hoping to take advantage of Democrat President Joe Biden's open border policies as they fear he will lose re-election.  Illegal border crossers told New York Post reporter Jennie Taer that they fear President Donald Trump will secure the Southern Border if elected in November.  After illegally crossing the Arizona border last week, two migrants from Colombia told Taer that they were concerned about the outcome of the upcoming general election.

Plausible Deniability Run Amok.  What are the wages of rigged elections?  Invasion, inflation, taxation, and war.  But for a 2020 jiggering of state election procedures that allowed Democrats to flood battleground states with fraudulent mail-in ballots and other illegally cast votes, Americans would not today be suffering from unprecedented foreign invasion, out-of-control inflation, higher taxes, crippling regulations, or the specter of global war.  The Deep State that permanently controls the day-to-day maneuverings of the U.S. government wanted open borders, unconstrained money-printing, income confiscation at home, and empire-building abroad.  All it had to do was steal the 2020 election.

Complaint: Illegal Memo Lets People Who Fail ID Checks Onto Pennsylvania's Voter Rolls Anyway.  Pennsylvania's State Department issued a directive in 2018 that may allow noncitizens and other ineligible applicants to register to vote in violation of the 2002 Help America Vote Act (HAVA), according to a complaint brought by America First Legal (AFL) and obtained first by The Federalist.  HAVA requires a voter to provide a valid driver's license number — or, if and only if he has no driver's license, the last four digits of his Social Security number — on his voter registration form.  Election officials are then required to confirm whether the numbers provided are valid by checking them against state and federal databases.  The system is meant to ensure that prospective voters are eligible.  (Notably, foreign nationals can still obtain a Social Security number or driver's license.)

Houston-Area Judge Orders Election Redo in 2022 Race Due to 1,430 Illegal Votes.  A Houston-area judge ordered an election redo after 1,430 illegal votes were cast in a 2022 judicial race in the 180th District Court, the Texas Tribune reported.  Judge David Peeples ordered Harris County to hold a new election after Republican candidate Tami Pierce lost by a narrow margin, 449 votes, to Democrat Judge DaSean Jones.  [Tweet]  According to Peeples, because of the narrow margin and the 1,430 illegal votes, the true victor could not be determined.

Election Interference VS Election Manipulation.  A very quiet movement is underway, spearheaded by the Democrats and especially by Joe Biden.  As a preface, American citizens' right to vote is restricted per our Constitution.  It is a privilege that many of us believe should be protected, and why we are offended by some cities, like New York, allowing non-citizens to vote in local elections.  Though not directly related to elections, the Right and Left also debate counting non-citizens in the census.  The Left wants them counted to ensure population consistency and avoid redistributing.  That is just their first step in an evil process to ensure we will never see a Republican in the Oval Office again.

America's Voting Machines Are Made & Tested In China.  Citizen investigator Peter Bernegger broke an exclusive on my TV show "The Absolute Truth" that his team has traced the shipping of Chinese-manufactured motherboard chips for electronic voting machines to Taiwan, where they are being repackaged & shipped to the U.S.  Bernegger also alleged that one particular American computer company plays an important role in this operation.  [Post]  As Patrick Byrne has been insisting since 2020:  the motherboard of a computer is like the frontal lobe of your brain.  "If the motherboard is made in China, the entire system is compromised," according to him.  [Post]  Sheriff Dar Leaf has discovered that Dominion Voting has failed to disclose to Congress that parts of their machines are sourced from China, and tested in China.  In addition, it's alleged that one of Dominion's employees, Andy Huang, was able to access the servers remotely from Canada.  Huang once worked for a Chinese telecom known to be a CCP affiliate as well.

A Voter Integrity Group Hovers over the Target.  United Sovereign Americans (USA), a 100% volunteer, nonpartisan organization, has been working for the last two years to expose errors and demand honest and accurate elections.  They now share their technical and legal expertise with teams in 24 states.  Their peer-reviewed audits of state voter rolls have found millions of errors that violate multiple federal election laws.  Recently they joined an election lawsuit in federal court in Maryland, alleging that diluting real votes with fake and illegal votes violates our civil rights to honest elections.  More lawsuits are on the way.  Looks like their efforts have struck a nerve.  It's obvious that anyone elected in this new climate of "anything goes" voting rules probably wouldn't want those rules to change.  Instead, laws have consistently been weakened to the point where absentee ballots are mailed like sportswear circulars.

House Democrats Pushing to Permit Migrants to Vote.  A few votes could change the course of history.  The Equal Representation Act questions whether illegal migrants should appear on the next US census in 2030, effectively granting them representation.  The 206 to 202 vote was passed on party lines, with ALL Democrats voting in favor of permitting illegal migrants to be counted as American citizens for redistricting purposes.  The repopulation theory is not a conspiracy.  The Democrats are losing the favor of the people rapidly, and the new world order is on the line because citizens simply will not vote for these extreme measures that ultimately weaken America. [...] Taxpaying citizens will be denied the right to have their vote counted if foreign aliens are counted no different from citizens.  They are aiming to distort our electoral maps, and it is no coincidence that illegals have been placed in every major US city.  The borders were deliberately left open for this ultimate goal.

Ohio Removes Illegal Aliens from State Voter Rolls.  The crucial swing state of Ohio recently announced that illegal aliens and other non-citizens have been removed from the state's voter rolls ahead of the 2024 election.  [Advertisement]  As Fox News reports, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose (R-Ohio) made the announcement on Tuesday, revealing that a review had discovered over 100 illegals being registered to vote, even though they were not American citizens.  The investigation by Ohio's Public Integrity Division, using data from the state Bureau of Motor Vehicles, determined that at least 137 people were registered to vote despite confirming twice that they were not citizens.  [Advertisement]  "These individuals will receive at least two written notices from the Secretary of State's office asking them to confirm their citizenship status or cancel their registration," LaRose's office said in a statement.  "Failure to respond to these notices will result in removal of the registration from the voter rolls by the county boards of elections."  [Advertisement]  LaRose also suggested that there may be even more illegals who are registered to vote than previously thought.

Here's Fresh Evidence Biden's Using Your Tax Dollars To Turn Out Democrat Votes In 2024.  Months from the 2024 presidential election, Americans remain mostly in the dark about a sweeping executive order Joe Biden signed early in his presidency that could swing the entire contest in his favor.  New bombshell documents obtained by the Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project reinforce that is precisely the point of the directive — and the administration is working in cahoots with left-wing activist groups to achieve it.  In March 2021, President Biden signed an "Executive Order on Promoting Access to Voting."  The administration inked the directive, apparently the brainchild of leftist think-tank Demos, to cheers from dozens of like-minded but officially nonpartisan nongovernmental organizations.

Stop Mail-In Ballots to Ineligible Addresses.  The only strategy that can impact 2024 is to stop mail-in ballots from going to ineligible addresses[.]  [Video clip]

Dr. Walter Daugherity Reveals How 35,000 Illegal Votes Were Added to Democrat Totals in AZ Election.  During this full interview, Dr. Walter Daugherity, a Harvard Ph.D expert in Computer Science, and Professor Emeritus at Texas A & M University, breaks down how no state to date has independently examined the source code for the machines used in our elections, and how the Libertarian party of North Carolina was thwarted in their attempts to analyze the code that no one seems to be able to get their hands on.  Daugherity details his analysis of cast vote records, which is the only record that shows the sequence of votes to see if impossible patterns exist, and reveals how the underlying software design for Dominion, ES&S, and many other election vendors is the same.  What is evidenced in Daugherity's analysis is a PID (proportional integral derivative) controlled algorithm that selects candidates in a predictive fashion.  One of the more shocking revelations in the interview was Daugherity's finding of 35,000 votes being added to vote totals of democrat candidates up and down the ballot in Arizona and digitally spread out in a controlled fashion to avoid detection.

Forensic Expert Claims Massive Fraud in Pennsylvania in 2020 Election.  A warehouse supervisor is alleged to have entered a Pennsylvania voting precinct shortly after the 2020 election and used a portable vDrive to flip more than 50,000 votes.  Patrick Webb discussed the allegations in detail on Twitter today.  The allegations come from a computer forensic expert called Greg Stenstrom, who testified under oath about what he saw.  [Tweet]  At least two other people provided corroborating testimony about the man in question, Jim Savage.  One person claims that during a training session, Savage "held up a vDrive and stated that it controls all of the votes, and that you could change an election with this."

Georgia Election Board Left Speechless After 100% Proof Given The 2020 Elections Were Stolen, Still Refuse To Investigate.  Georgia Election Board dumbfounded after finding out that 3,000 ballots were scanned twice in the 2020 election recount in Fulton County.  The board also revealed that 380,761 ballot images from machine count were "not available."  [Video clip]

Democrat Voter Triage.  Four years ago, when Biden "won" the shadiest election in modern history, I expected four or eight years of nonsense and a lot of bad laws that would have to be repealed.  Sort of a repeat of the Carter years. [...] What's puzzling is that there is an election thundering down upon us, and the Democrats don't seem to notice.  Joe's not hitting the campaign trail in anything but a half-hearted, phone-it-in way.  But that's because he can't physically get through a speech in front of a scantily-attended, picked audience.  You would expect the Democrats to try to look like they are listening to the majority of voters who are deafening pollsters with negative feedback about how bad things are in flyover country.  A conspiracy theorist might conclude that the Democrats are counting on cheat-by-mail and the millions of welfare migrants to save them in November.  And maybe they are.  Maybe those scams will "win" them another shady election.  But I am starting to get the distinct feeling that America has simply had enough of old Joe and his pack of grifters.

Voting Shenanigans in Michigan.  [Scroll down]  In November of 2022, Michigan voters also passed Proposal 2, a proposal to amend the voting procedures previously authorized in the State of Michigan's Constitution.  While the proposal passed with (ostensibly) 60% of the vote, the recent batch of bills purportedly written to implement the changes of Proposal 2 goes significantly beyond what was authorized by the voters.  The new legislation hands over verification of absentee ballots from an elected bipartisan board of inspectors to city or township clerks.  They also significantly expand the powers of election clerks and the Secretary of State.  For example, the Secretary of State can now dictate election procedures without going through the formal rule-making process.  This greatly increases the potential for fraud and significantly reduces the safeguards against it.  Senate Bill 367 allows clerks in municipalities with at least 5,000 people to process and count absentee ballots eight days before Election Day.  The eight-day, pre-election day window will make it very difficult for poll watchers to observe the handling and counting of mail-in votes.  (What could possibly go wrong there?)

Board Refuses To Have Fulton County Investigated For Double-Scanning 3,000 Ballots In 2020 Recount.  Two Republican members of the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections voted not to certify the 2020 presidential election citing a litany of concerns with the county's election administration.  Now — four years later — the State Election Board (SEB) chided the county for violating the law during the 2020 election but stopped short of referring the case for further investigation by the attorney general.  The SEB ruled 2-1 Tuesday that Fulton County must have an independent election monitor to oversee its elections after it found more than 3,000 ballots were scanned twice during the 2020 presidential recount.  The Georgia secretary of state's office could not confirm how many of the ballots that were scanned twice were also counted, according to the Atlanta-Journal Constitution (AJC).

Illinois Democrats defend hastily enacted election year changes.  The chair of the Illinois House Ethics and Elections Committee is defending a hastily approved election year change to election law preventing candidates from being slated for the November election.  Gov. J.B. Pritzker signed Senate Bill 2412 Friday, less than two days after it was approved by the House and concurred by the Senate.  "It really does make sure that we don't have backroom deals to put people on the ballot and run as a result of some small group of people in a smoke filled room making the choice," Pritzker said before the Senate passed the measure.  "So I think, to me, more transparency is better."

Shady Milwaukee Elections Chief Ousted Six Months Before Election, But Will Her Successor Be Worse?  Now that Milwaukee's controversial election chief has been sent packing, Republicans in critical swing-state Wisconsin are wondering whether the fix will be worse than what previously ailed Milwaukee's election integrity.  On Monday, Mayor Cavalier Johnson announced Milwaukee Election Commission Executive Director Claire Woodall is out — just six months before November's presidential election.  Woodall, roundly criticized by conservatives for her handling (or mishandling) of the closely contested 2020 presidential election in battleground Wisconsin, will be replaced by her lieutenant, Paulina Gutierrez, according to the far-left Democrat mayor.  Why?  Johnson spokesman Jeff Fleming told the Associated Press that Woodall's ouster had nothing to do with her handling of elections but "other issues internal to the election commission office and to city government that raised concern."  What those "issues" are, Fleming didn't say.

Will the Supreme Court Let This Crisis Go to Waste?  When state election officials used the 2020 pandemic as justification to change election rules, several organizations filed lawsuits claiming that only the state legislatures are constitutionally authorized to make such changes.  But the Supreme Court declined to hear the cases.  Since the election hadn't happened yet, nobody had been harmed; hence, there were no damages to be adjudicated.  After the election, in which an unprecedented number of irregularities occurred, Texas (and several other states) petitioned the Supreme Court to adjudicate the issues.  But the court ruled that since the irregularities hadn't occurred in Texas, citizens of Texas were not harmed, and the state therefore lacked standing to file suit.  When audits of the election began to reveal problems, organizations again asked the Court to engage.  But the Supreme Court declined again, simply saying that the election had been certified, and the arguments were therefore moot.  I'm sure the justices thought they were being prudent and were protecting the reputation of the Court by staying as far away from a controversial election as possible.  If so, they placed protection of the Court over protection of the Court's source of authority — the Constitution.

Data: More Than 200,000 People On North Carolina Voter Rolls 'Missing' ID Numbers.  North Carolina voter data lists more than 224,000 people with registration dates after January 2004 whose records are "missing" both the last four digits of their Social Security number (SSN) and a driver's license identification number, according to public records obtained by The Federalist.  The 2002 Help America Vote Act (HAVA) required states to verify certain "information of newly registered voters for Federal elections," according to the Social Security Administration.  "Each State must establish a computerized State-wide voter registration list and verify new voter information with the State's Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA)."  These requirements went into effect on Jan. 1, 2004.  States must verify the would-be voter's driver's license number against the MVA database, but if an individual lacks a driver's license then states must use the last four digits of his SSN, name, and date of birth.  Notably, verifying a registrant's SSN or driver's license does not necessarily confirm his citizenship, since foreign nationals can obtain either.

America:  Goodbye my Country.  Today in the Disunited States we have a government in power that was not elected; instead it used control over the blue cities in swing states and the whore American media to steal the election.  Massive amounts of evidence was provided by experts that the election was stolen, but this was strongly denied by the whore media, and experts were prosecuted for making the facts known.  Today America is governed by an illegitimate tyrannical regime, and nothing has been done about it.  The Republican Party is useless.  Only Trump soldiers on with four orchestrated criminal indictments and a number of civil cases arrayed against him.  The media, Democrats, and Rino Republicans are all against him.  Only the people are for him, and the people are powerless.  They don't even have the vote as the Democrats made clear by stealing the last two elections.

Democrats' Election Games Have One Thing In Common:  Shifting Power From Voters To Party Bosses.  Just about every election cycle, Democrats spring a new voting scheme on unsuspecting voters, each one more complicated than the last, with the predictable result of confusing voters and reducing confidence in the eventual results.  This is all by design.  Instead of earning voters' loyalty, leftists would rather gain or maintain power by manipulating the election process however possible.  An egregious example of this took place earlier this year in New Hampshire, where the office of the state attorney general ended up issuing a cease-and-desist order to Democratic National Committee (DNC) officials for purportedly violating state voter suppression laws.  Party bosses, who wanted South Carolina to be the first Democrat primary in the nation, bumped the presidential primaries in New Hampshire and Iowa down on the calendar after claiming the latter's caucuses were "too white and too undemocratic."  When New Hampshire went forward with a January primary anyway, in accordance with state law, the DNC instructed the state party to tell voters their votes would be "meaningless" if they voted on Jan. 23, rather than on the DNC's preferred primary date later in the year.

Elections Should Not Be Conducted in Darkness.  This week, the Public Interest Legal Foundation filed two federal lawsuits in Minnesota and Wisconsin to end these states' special exemptions from a federal election transparency law.  Congress decided three decades ago that transparency is an essential component of any election infrastructure.  That's why the National Voter Registration Act, usually called "Motor Voter," deemed all records related to who is eligible and not eligible to vote to be public records — except in six states.  These records include voter rolls, removal records of individuals who were found to not be citizens of the United States and many more key records that often reveal mistakes by election officials.  Transparency in election administration allows the public to understand the activities of officials who grant and remove voting rights.  Making the list-maintenance process public increases trust and confidence in our electoral process.  Transparency enables the public to see when election officials are making mistakes.  It also allows voters who are improperly removed from the rolls to find out why.

10 Lies Democrats Tell About Our Elections (And How To Refute Them).  [#2] The 2020 Election Was the 'Most Secure in American History.'  This claim from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) — the "nerve center" of the federal government's censorship operations — is just as inaccurate today as the day it was issued nearly four years ago.  From illegal election rule changes in Michigan and Pennsylvania to the unauthorized use of ballot drop boxes in Wisconsin, the 2020 election was fraught with mischief and irregularities.  In unprecedented fashion, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg poured hundreds of millions of dollars into left-wing nonprofits, which funneled most of these "Zuckbucks" into election offices in Democrat-majority localities to push Democrat-backed voting policies and get-out-the-vote efforts. [...] [#3] Voter Fraud Doesn't Exist.  When it comes to defending the chaotic and irregular 2020 election, legacy media have adopted the strategy of pretending that voter fraud never happens.  But recent cases of such illegalities show that isn't true.

RNC, Trump Suing Nevada To Stop Ballot Counting After Election.  Donald J. Trump's presidential campaign and the Republican National Committee (RNC) are suing the Nevada Secretary of State to prevent counting mail-in ballots received after election day.  Nevada election law allows ballots received up to four days after an election to be counted.  "Nevada's ballot receipt deadline clearly violates federal law and undermines election integrity in the state," RNC co-chairman Michael Whatley said in a statement.  He added: "[T]he RNC and our partners are suing to secure an honest election, support Nevada voters, and oppose unlawful schemes."  "Congress has established a uniform, national day to elect members of Congress and to appoint presidential electors," attorneys for the RNC and Trump campaign contend in their lawsuit filed with the U.S. District Court of Nevada.  "Nevada effectively extends Nevada's federal election past the Election Day established by Congress," the lawsuit argues.

The Left's Election Industrial Complex.  There is a battle taking place in America today.  It's the Left's Election Industrial Complex versus fair and transparent US elections.  While conservatives argue over whether we should vote early or on Election Day, the Election Industrial Complex is adding, deleting, and managing entities that are clandestinely operating behind US elections.  A document produced by Higher Ground Labs entitled the — 2022 Political Tech Landscape Report — outlines what we have labeled the Election Industrial Complex.

Investigation: Biden Executive Order Focuses on Registering Convicts to Vote.  An executive order signed by President Joe Biden has focused on registering convicts to vote and exclusively involved left-wing non-governmental organizations (NGOs), an investigation from the Heritage Foundation's Oversight Project revealed.  In March 2021, Biden signed an executive order titled "Promoting Access to Voting," which he billed as a "nonpartisan" government-wide effort to "expand citizens' opportunities to register to vote and to obtain information about, and participate in, the electoral process."

Poll Shows Nearly Three in 10 Voters Would Vote Illegally in 2024 Presidential Election.  Unfortunately, widespread illegal voting in presidential elections seems to be the new normal in the United States.  Based on our latest poll, 28% of all voters say they would engage in at least one kind of illegal voting practice in order to help their preferred candidate — either President Joe Biden or former President Donald Trump — win the 2024 election.  Examples of illegal voting scenarios that voters say they would engage in include voting in multiple states; destroying mail-in ballots of friends or family members; paying or offering rewards to fellow voters; deliberately providing incorrect information about the place, time, or date associated with casting a ballot; and/or altering candidate selections on mail-in ballots.  Although self-identified Democrat voters are slightly more likely to engage in illegal voting to ensure that Biden would win, the number of self-identified Republican voters who would also engage in illegal voting to guarantee a Trump victory is also quite concerning.

Court Stands By Decision Rejecting Undated Pennsylvania Mail Ballots, In Blow To Left-Wing Activists.  The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected an attempt from left-wing organizations to have the court reconsider a ruling that found unelected bureaucrats were wrong to accept thousands of undated or incorrectly dated ballots during the 2020 election.  A three-judge panel for the 3rd Circuit ruled in a 2-1 decision in March that any mail-in ballots that arrive in envelopes missing a date or with an incorrect date are invalid, upholding a state law and overturning a lower court's decision.  Several left-wing organizations appealed the ruling by petitioning the court to review the decision en banc, a petition which was denied on Tuesday.  It's a big blow for Democrat operative and Russia hoaxer Marc Elias, whose group supported the lawsuit against the state law and which called it a "crucial" and "critical" case ahead of 2024.  [Tweet]

Poll: Election-Shifting Percentage Of Voters Admit To Illegal Voting In 2020.  For the past three years, the corporate press and numerous officials in the Biden White House have asserted there is no evidence widespread voter fraud occurred during the 2020 presidential election.  Some have even gone so far as to call it the "most secure" election in U.S. history.  However, a poll conducted by Rasmussen Reports — a survey I wrote with a team of experts at the Heartland Institute and discussed last week on Tucker Carlson's show — not only calls into question that often-repeated claim, it shows the opposite could have been true. [...] The Heartland Institute/Rasmussen survey, which was conducted from Nov. 30 to Dec. 6, asked likely voters who cast ballots in 2020 questions about fraudulent activities, without telling them such actions were a form of voter fraud.  The results were stunning.  One in five people who voted by mail admitted to engaging in at least one kind of potential voter fraud, seriously calling into question the security of widespread mail-in balloting.

They Can't Steal It For Joe A Second Time — And They Know It.  I got a lot of feedback to [a] recent column about whether 'Basement Joe' has a real shot at 'beating' Trump in a rematch, what with the Deep State having to come out from behind the curtain to transparently steal the 2020 election with 3 am ballot dumps in front of the entire country when Trump was beating their cheat on election night.  Some people think the Deep State has enough mojo left to 'arrange' a shocking COMEBACK 'WIN' for Basement Joe Biden in this upcoming 2024 Presidential election.  They don't seem to be able to recognize the shifting of the political realities over the past 3½ years that would make such a theft almost, if not completely, impossible.  As I've been emphasizing, the mere act of stealing an election with massive amounts of vote fraud is becoming increasingly challenging.  However, it's also just the first step.  Even if they were to succeed in pulling off another election theft in 2024, they would still have to get enough of the public to 'buy in' to the idea that Biden supposedly pulled off an astounding comeback.

Ensuring a Republican Victory.  Trump probably won in 2020, so he should have little difficulty winning in 2024.  However, will he be certified, or will the honor go to Joe, Michelle, or Pretty Boy?  The problem here is the massive ballot harvesting schemes used by Democrats. [...] In no fewer than 206 Madison City [Wisconsin] parks, Democrats held "Democracy in the Park" events, advertised by Joe himself.  Hundreds of special ballot drop boxes were strategically placed, and a couple hundred election "inspectors" helped thousands of fellow Democrats decipher the complexities of voting.  Make a mistake?  No worry, the inspector will fix it.  Need a witness for your signature?  The inspector can do that too.  No ID?  Just say you are afraid of COVID.  In a hurry?  Hand your ballot to the inspector.  She will make sure the ballot is cast — and for the right candidate!  Basically, Wisconsin election officials operated a massive ballot harvesting operation in plain sight, and strictly in Democrat areas.  The Trump team went to court, but in a partisan, 4 to 3 ruling, the Wisconsin Supreme Court dismissed the case on the basis of "laches" (filed too late).

The Democrats' Plan To Steal The Presidency For Good.  While Americans brace for another contentious presidential election, the Democrats have a better idea:  Subvert the Constitution in the name of "democracy."  Once again, the party of the left shows why it's losing Americans' trust.  Quietly but steadily, the Democratic Party has been advancing its latest bold idea to create a uni-party state:  A "National Popular Vote Interstate Compact."  In case you missed it, the Associated Press reported last week that "Maine will become the latest to join a multistate effort to elect the president by popular vote," the 17th state to do so.  As the AP noted, "Under the proposed compact, each state would allocate all its electoral votes to whoever wins the national popular vote for president, regardless of how individual states voted in an election."

Are Our Elections Legally Valid?  Many US citizens have questioned the legitimacy of the 2020 election.  Given the disturbing details that have emerged such as bloated voter rolls, algorithms creating fake voters (New York Citizens Audit), canvassing efforts showing 20% of mailed ballots were not validly cast (Defend Florida 2021 canvassing efforts), US election systems software being written in Serbia, and more recently in Georgia, a Fulton County Election Board member testifying that no signature verification was performed on their 147,000 mail-in ballots, it is no wonder why.  A group of concerned citizens, led by New York Citizens Audit founder, Marly Hornik, and elections & cyber security expert, Harry Haury, has emerged to confront the issue of illegal and therefore invalid elections.  This non-partisan group, United Sovereign Americans (USA for short), has teams in over 20 states that are doing deep dives into the election issues in their state and are developing an elections scorecards summarizing those issues which likely violate existing election law.

American Communists Have Their Election Year Chaos Scheme In Full Effect.  Mass chaos breaks out at college campuses across the United States as pro-Hamas protests intensify.  Columbia, Harvard, USC, University of Texas at Austin and others are getting swarmed by protesters.  Police at USC are taking out their batons as the protesters are turning violent.  Texas state troopers have been deployed and reportedly made dozens of arrests at the University of Texas at Austin.  [Video clip]

Why 2020 'Election Denialism' Is Not Denialism at All.  [Scroll down]  Plainly, the special counsel, Jack Smith, is on perilous logical ground in his election case indictments.  The premise that it's unreasonable to believe that the 2020 election was stolen takes for granted that the election presumptively was not stolen, instead of proving it by properly fulfilling the burden of proof. [...] The matter has been decided; to talk of a stolen 2020 election is election denialism.  Or so we are supposed to believe, and without any further discussion.

U.S. Supreme Court Rejects Kari Lake Voting Machine Lawsuit.  The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rejected a voting machine lawsuit filed by her and former Arizona secretary of state candidate Mark Finchem.  The pair claimed in their suit "that they had sufficiently argued that all Arizona-certified optical scanners and ballot marking devices 'have been wrongly certified for use,'" the Washington Examiner reported.  A federal judge rejected the lawsuit in 2022, and the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld that decision in October 2023, before the Supreme Court declining to take the case.

Unrigging Elections.  The most consequential elections of our lifetime are quickly approaching.  Many sensible Americans believe November 2024 will determine whether the United States will be the land of the free, or a country of subjects.  Dr. David Clements has dedicated the last few years of his life to teaching Americans how U.S. elections are manipulated, why they're being rigged, and what can be done to regain one of the most critical components of self-government.  Clements is a former New Mexico prosecutor and a former professor at New Mexico State University.  His resistance to Covid-related mandates and subsequent crusade to restore U.S. elections have turned his life upside down.  He has lost his job, he has been blackballed, he has incurred lawfare on multiple fronts, and he and his family have received death threats.  [Paywall]

Election Investigator Reveals How Democrats Hijacked Wisconsin Elections.  Many Americans remember what it was like watching the returns during election night on November 3, 2020.  They remember the terror on the faces of media propagandists as they realized Donald Trump would win again.  For the first few hours, things were looking good for the America First crowd.  But that didn't last.  Just as things were getting good, election workers in many populated areas, including Atlanta, Philadelphia, Detroit, and Milwaukee, stopped counting votes — in the middle of an election.  Trump supporters remember this as the moment they realized that something wrong was happening.  By the next morning, the picture had flipped.  Joe Biden was now ahead in just the right number of states.  [Paywall]

'The Most Secure Election in American History'.  [Scroll down]  Two days later, I filed the motion to intervene in the Supreme Court in that action.  The Supreme Court rules require the lawyer on the brief to have their name, address, email address and phone number.  Nobody in the country at that point really knew who Trump's legal team was, but all of a sudden people had a lawyer and an email address.  I became the recipient of every claim, every allegation, crazy or not, that existed anywhere in the world about what had happened in the election.  It was like drinking from a fire hose.  I received communications from some of the best statisticians in the world who were working with election data and who told me there was something very wrong with the reported election results, according to multiple statistical analyses.  One group decided to do a counter-statistical analysis.  They said the statisticians had misapplied Stan Young's path-breaking work.  Unbeknownst to them, one of the statisticians I was relying on was Stan Young himself.

A Coup Without Firing a Shot.  [Scroll down]  All the while, once-trusted sources of information — media, academia, think tanks — have steadfastly refused to report and respond in truthful ways, leading to a further loss of public trust not just in government and politics but also in everything else, including corporate tech and all the higher order sectors of the culture.  Also part of this has been a political crisis in many nations, including the use of sketchy election strategies justified by epidemiologic emergency:  the only safe way to vote (said the CDC) is absentee via the mails.  Here we find one of many overlapping parallels to a scenario hardly ever imagined:  infectious disease deployed as a cover for political manipulation.  Crucially and ominously, all of these mind-blowing developments took place in roughly similar ways the world over, and with the same language and model.  Everywhere people were told "We are all in this together," and that social distancing, masking, and vaxxing was the correct way out.  Media was also censored everywhere, while anti-lockdown protestors (or even those who simply wanted to worship together in peace) were treated not as dissidents to be tolerated but irresponsible spreaders of disease.

A crush of lawsuits over voting in multiple states is creating a shadow war for the 2024 election.  As President Joe Biden and Donald Trump step up their campaigning in swing states, a quieter battle is taking place in the shadows of their White House rematch.  The Republican National Committee, newly reconstituted under Trump, has filed election-related lawsuits in nearly half the states.  Recent lawsuits over voter roll maintenance in Michigan and Nevada are part of a larger strategy targeting various aspects of voting and election administration.

Trump Campaign, RNC Unveil Massive Election Integrity Program.  The Republican National Committee together with the Trump campaign announced Friday the launch of what they claim is the "most extensive and monumental election integrity program in the nation's history."  More than 100,000 volunteers and attorneys will work in each battleground state to ensure the 2024 elections are transparent and fair.  "Having the right people to count the ballots is just as important as turning out voters on Election Day," former President Trump said in a statement.  "Republicans are now working together to protect the vote and ensure a big win on November 5th!"

Maine joins 'popular vote' interstate compact, bringing the total to 209 — they only need to reach 270.  Pay attention people, because the canary in the coal mine isn't breathing. [...] Now, if you're unaware as to what this compact is, allow me to explain: it's a nationwide movement to undermine the integrity of, and sidestep the political protections implemented by... the Electoral College.  While these anti-EC activists have loudly called for the abolition of the institution at the federal level, they've been quietly and methodically laying the framework at the state level — the National Popular Vote interstate compact.  These anti-American operatives are playing the long-game, and we're barreling toward a shocking and devastating checkmate.  (The first state to sign on to the scheme was Maryland in 2007.)

Sec. Mayorkas Admits They Don't Oversee and Stop Illegals Voting.  Alejandro Mayorkas admitted there are no mechanisms in place to prevent illegal immigrants from potentially registering and voting in U.S. elections.  It's not his job.  His job is to protect the border.  In other words, he does nothing.  Mayorkas was a Board member on the board of an NGO who works with an NGO accused of telling illegal aliens to vote for Joe Biden when they come in.  [Tweet with video clip]  The impeachment articles of Secretary Mayorkas were walked over to the Senate today.  We'll see what Schumer will do with them, likely nothing.  During the hearing, Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene blasted DHS Secretary Mayorkas over the bombshell finding of flyers allegedly put up by NGOs and paid for by US taxpayers.  The flyers tell illegal aliens to vote for Biden in our election.  Mayorkas is remarkably arrogant and isn't a bit concerned about Republicans.

The Left's latest scheme to permanently change elections in America.  Imagine a Super Bowl referee bending the rules to give his favorite team the win.  Few would call that fair.  Yet that is precisely what the Left wants to do to America's elections.  From noncitizen voting to lawsuits inviting activist judges to rewrite our election laws, left-wing activists are taking every opportunity to change elections permanently for partisan gain.  Their latest tactic is to undermine the basic principle of "one person, one vote" with a new scheme called ranked choice voting.  As we speak, liberal special interests are leading a sophisticated national campaign to push ranked choice voting in nearly every state.  They have hired lobbyists, formed astroturf activist groups, and are financing state ballot measures across the country.

AP Tries to Explain Why Noncitizen Voting is No Big Deal.  With more than ten million "new arrivals" in the country under Joe Biden's watch, increasing numbers of people have been expressing concerns over how many of them might wind up trying to vote in the upcoming elections.  Even worse, how many of them might get away with it?  This is a threat that has been brought up by Donald Trump recently, to the great alarm of his detractors in the legacy media.  But he was hardly the first to raise this specter.  Rushing to the rescue this weekend is the Associated Press.  They want to assure everyone that Donald Trump is just engaging in conspiracy theories again.  Noncitizen voting simply doesn't happen, or at least not enough that it should bother you.  Our voting system is safe and secure.  You know... just like our border.

It's Game Over for Election Fraud Deniers!  Election fraud investigator Joe Rossi was just sent another explosive letter from Georgia's state election board.  The investigation report which began in March 2022 (which is called SEB2023-25) has finally found "errors" in both the hand count and the machine count from the 2020 election in Fulton County.  What does that mean?  It means that none of the three vote counts from Georgia's 2020 election matched each other.  That's because illegal ballot images and fake ballots were included in these counts.  So these "violations" of election law (which are really crimes of course) are now officially on the agenda for the May 7th meeting of Georgia's state election board!

Georgia State Election Board Now Admits to Violations of Election Law in 2020 Election.  The Georgia State Election Board admitted to violation of election law in the 2020 election.  The State Election Board admitted to this in a recent letter to investigator Joseph Rossi.  The Georgia Election Board says in their letter to Rossi, "The matter is in the violation found category."

Congress Is Lying to You About FISA.  For the third time in three consecutive cycles, secretive federal agencies are trying to rig our presidential election.  This is what the Democrats refer to as democracy, and they're trying to defend it.  But of course, it's the opposite of democracy.  It's, in fact, the end of democracy in any semblance of a constitutional republic we ever had.  If you have a secret police force threatening people, spying on them, and working secretly the levers of political power, then you don't have a democracy.  You have no control over really anything as a voter.  So if there's one thing the Republican Party, the opposition party, should be doing in response to this, right now, it's fighting back against this descent into totalitarianism.  They should be working to return freedom and democracy to the country.  They should defend the Constitution.  They should rein in these agencies, Washington secret police.  But you will not be surprised to learn they've been busy doing just the opposite.

Election integrity returns to the national conversation.  It is no secret that many of our election laws and practices were manipulated by the Democrat party under the guise of mandated "social distancing" during the recent COVID-19 pandemic.  Well, the pandemic is by all accounts over, and life appears to have returned to "normal," yet the loosened requirements for voter registration and voting remain in many jurisdictions.  Why have we not returned to the pre-pandemic laws and regulations?  The answer is obvious:  the laws benefit the voting habits and practices of one political party over the other.  During the pandemic, many Western democracies did not alter voter registration or voting requirements, as did the United States.  In France, for example, voters use the same system that's been used for generations: paper ballots, cast in person and counted by hand.  Despite periodic calls for more flexibility or modernization, France does not allow mail-in voting, early voting, or voting machines as the United States does.

Texas County Successfully Completes Hand Count of Paper Ballots.  Election-integrity activists sat up and took notice when a Texas county successfully completed a paper-ballot hand count during the March GOP primary.  Advocates of a return to hand counts and paper ballots now have more solid evidence that dependence on electronic systems isn't the only way to go.  According to a March 6 article at Texas Scorecard on March 6, Republican precinct chairs in Gillespie County in central Texas (county seat, Fredericksburg) had decided a year earlier to pursue a hand count, wanting more transparent and secure elections.  Six months of hard advance work prepared teams to count more than 8,000 ballots, using a plan designed to reduce error and speed up the process.  Gillespie County Party Chairman Bruce Campbell didn't think enough people could be found to complete the project, but about 300 volunteers came out of the woodwork to help, indicating strong support for hand counts and a well-earned distrust of electronic systems.

The Socialists are conditioning you to expect days of "lost" or "delayed" mail-in ballots arriving after Election Day.
Major Delays in Mail Delivery Have People Worried It Could Impact 2024 Election.  Here in the Susitna Valley, when it's time to vote, we proceed on Election Day to our local community center, where we present our IDs, get checked off the voting roll, sign in, and then fill out a paper ballot.  Those paper ballots are placed in a box and counted by humans.  Now, granted, that system works well here, where our little rural community can expect fewer than 2,000 voters most years.  Many states and municipalities across the land have, however, resorted to mail-in ballots.  It's easy to imagine many ways in which this system is fraught, but now a major overhaul of the U.S. Postal Service — the timing of which is surely coincidental — is threatening to delay the delivery of mail-in ballots in the November election.

Trump Lawyer John Eastman Officially Disbarred For Challenging 2020 Election.  President Trump's lawyer John Eastman was officially disbarred this week after a judge ruled he should have his law license stripped for challenging the 2020 election.  Eastman on Thursday asked a California judge to pause the disbarment ruling, citing massive legal fees.  Trump 2020 election lawyer John Eastman faced disbarment in California for 'undermining democracy' by trying to 'overturn the presidential election.'  The January 6 Committee sent the feds after John Eastman because he dared to take action against the Democrats and their massive election fraud operation in 2020.

Aliens Voting.  The southern border crisis has reached new heights under President Biden.  Now, viral footage shows migrants rushing the National Guard and cutting down border fencing.  The data backs up the images Americans are seeing on TV. Arrests for illegal border crossings from Mexico have reached an all-time high.  I could just as easily be describing our border in 2015 or even a decade before.  Some of these foreigners will get drivers licenses and, therefore mistakenly get added to American voter rolls.  We have researched this issue for years, and there is hard data to back it up.  We already have government records from states across the country that reveal aliens have been registering and voting in American elections.  Yes, you read that right:  foreigners are casting ballots in American elections.  It is not a myth or Bigfoot.  It is happening.  The number one source for alien registration is the DMV registration system.  The overwhelming majority of foreigners who end up registered to vote come through the DMV.  The second most prevalent is student visas.  Illegal border crossers comprise a smaller percentage of aliens to get registered.  Data support these conclusions.

Citizen Groups Stepping Up to Demand Honest Elections.  In any contest between two or more parties, an impartial referee is often necessary to ensure that the rules are followed fairly. [...] When the irregularities of the 2020 election were ignored by the justice system and the media, average citizens came forward to figure out what might have happened.  In upstate New York, Marly Hornik, a goat-herder and homeschool mom, teamed up with election and cybersecurity expert Harry Haury, and formed New York Citizens Audit to investigate their state voter roll database.  The group released peer-reviewed statistical reports that exposed alarming errors in the data for 2020 and 2022.  Among their findings for 2022:  1,467,399 illegal duplicate registrations with 449,856 votes cast.  16,623 votes cast by voters with a blank address. "35,312 more votes counted than voters who voted" — an impossibility in a properly-conducted election.

Investigative Reporter/Researcher Peter Bernegger [was] Arrested on [the] Day of [the] Wisconsin Primary.  Wisconsin investigative reporter and researcher Peter Bernegger of Election Watch Incorporated was arrested and booked by the Dane County Sheriff this morning for "Simulating Legal Process," according to the Dane County Sheriff's website.  Bernegger was intricately involved in exposing election campaign "smurfs," or donors who are believed to be unknowingly used to launder numerous small-dollar donations to political candidates.  Bernegger previously told The Gateway Pundit that the "smurfing" scheme "looks like the largest money laundering scheme in the history of the country."  In March 2023, O'Keefe Media Group's James O'Keefe interviewed several of these unsuspecting "smurfs" to see if they had donated large quantities of money to candidates and political action committees such as ACTBlue through numerous small-dollar donations.  Of course, they hadn't.  These donations often amounted to thousands of dollars from "unemployed" (retired) seniors in numerous small donations.  Democrats such as Senators Raphael Warnock and John Fetterman, Governors Katie Hobbs and Gretchen Whitmer, Congressman Troy Carter, and Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Janet Protasiewicz were reported beneficiaries of this operation.

'The Most Terrifying Poll Result I've Ever Seen'.  Earlier this year, pollster Scott Rasmussen asked voters a simple question: "Would you rather have your candidate win by cheating or lose by playing fair?"  The answers he got back were, as he put it in a Daily Signal podcast last week, "the most terrifying poll result I've ever seen."  Among all Americans, just 7% said they would want their candidate to win by cheating.  As Rasmussen put it, he'd rather see that number lower, but that's not bad.  But more than a third of the elite 1% he surveyed would condone cheating.  And among those who are "politically obsessed" — meaning that they talk about politics every day — that number shot up to 69%.

Wisconsin Voters Ban Private Funding of Elections.  Wisconsin voters approved an amendment on Tuesday night, banning the private funding of elections in the swing state.  The amendment directs that "donations and grants may not be applied for, accepted, expended, or used in... connection with the conduct of any primary, election, or referendum," according to the question phrasing that the Wisconsin State Legislature listed.  Associated Press election results showed the ballot question passed by a 54.4 percent to 45.6 percent vote.

Nebraska Governor Backs Conservative-Led Effort to Award All of State's Electoral Votes to Statewide Presidential Winner.  Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen (R) has backed a conservative-led effort to award all of the state's electoral votes to the presidential candidate who wins statewide.  Though Nebraska has been a Republican stronghold for years, the state's system, as well as Maine's, for awarding electoral votes has been at odds with the rest of the country by instead awarding those votes based on the congressional district as opposed to the winner-takes-all statewide popular vote.  Theoretically, a presidential candidate could win the state but still lose one electoral vote if their opponent won in a congressional district like Omaha.  For example, Barack Obama won a single electoral vote in 2008 and Joe Biden won the same in 2020.

No signature verification was done in 2020 in Fulton County, election board member testifies.  Mark Wingate, who served on the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections, testified on Monday that there was no signature verification done on Fulton County absentee ballots in the 2020 election.  Wingate is testifying in the D.C. disbarment trial of Trump Administration Department of Justice official Jeffrey Clark.  The Fulton County 2020 election should never have been certified because there was no signature verification done at all on absentee ballots, he said.  Joe Biden reportedly won Georgia by about 12,000 votes.

'Bidenbucks' Tentacles Expand As Judge Shuts Down Lawsuit.  With a little over seven months until Election Day, "Bidenbucks" are ramping up where Team Biden's sweeping taxpayer-funded get-out-the-vote order is most needed.  Meanwhile, a federal judge has stopped a Bidenbucks complaint described as "the MOST important election integrity lawsuit in the country."  The Michigan Department of State recently announced a signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the U.S. Small Business Administration "to promote civic engagement and voter registration in Michigan."  The agreement, according to Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and SBA Administrator Isabel Casillas Guzman is a "first-of-its-kind collaboration" for the federal agency.  It is expected to run through Jan. 1, 2036.  That is, if legal challenges can't stop the apparently unconstitutional "understanding."

Surveillance Footage Exposes Polling Place Manager Bringing Blank Ballots into Lorain County Bar on Eve of Election.  The integrity of the election process in Lorain County, Ohio has come into question after a polling place manager was captured on surveillance footage transporting blank provisional ballots into a local bar.  The Lorain County Board of Elections, the Lorain County Sheriff's Office (LCSO), and the Ohio Secretary of State have launched a full investigation into the incident, Cleveland19 reported.  The video from the MAHD House Bar & Grille, which has since gone viral, clearly shows the poll manager entering with bags and placing them inside a booth, only to leave them unattended while he enjoyed a meal.  The owner of MAHD House, James Tucker, expressed his concern upon realizing what the bags contained.

Democracy By Deception.  As we know, communists always accuse their enemies of what they're doing.  As the lawfare against Donald Trump falls apart, they've begun ardently accusing Trump of being a dangerous dictator, of being a threat to "democracy," because of his refusal to accept the 2020 election as legitimate.  They care so much about "democracy" that they have to fall in line with a globalist elite instead of voters, persecute Trump to sway the 2024 election, encourage all manner of cheating and interference in the 2024 election to save "democracy."  That's literally their reasoning for these lawfare attacks, buying votes with taxpayer money, opening the border to bring in the 10-12 million voters Biden thinks he's going to need to win the election, even with all of their attempts to imprison the opposition candidate.  The communists really like mail-in ballots, because they can use the U.S. Postal Service to hold mail-in ballots from conservative areas, "losing" as many as they have to, to win.  Because, that's what you do when you care so much about "democracy" that you rig the outcome of elections.

Republicans Score Win in Court Battle Over Pennsylvania Ballot Requirements.  Pennsylvania rules that require mail-in ballots to be dated are legal, a federal appeals court has ruled.  A state law that says voters must fill out, date, and sign envelopes containing the ballots is not prevented by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a majority said in the March 27 ruling.  The act bans denying "the right of any individual to vote in any election because of an error or omission on any record or paper relating to any application, registration or other act requisite to voting."  But that provision "only applies when the state is determining who may vote," U.S. Circuit Court Judge Thomas Ambro, appointed by former President Bill Clinton, wrote for the majority of a U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit panel.  "In other words, its role stops at the door of the voting place.  The provision does not apply to rules, like the date requirement, that govern how a qualified voter must cast his ballot for it to be counted."

Some Men Just Want...  [Scroll down]  And why would our leaders make it ridiculously easy to cheat in our elections?  When elections used to be decided on Election Night, why must we now wait days or weeks for early, late, remote, harvested, no-ID, or cured votes to be counted?  And why does our entire court system studiously look the other way if so much alleged cheating is occurring?

Trump Lawyer, Conservative Legal Icon John Eastman Disbarred.  The attorney and former law school dean facing imminent disbarment from the California Bar, based on a recommendation by California Bar Court Judge Yvette D. Roland for his legal work in support of President Donald J. Trump's attempts to resolve irregularities in the 2020 presidential election, promised to fight for his reputation and livelihood in a statement released [by] his legal team.  "Any reasonable person can see the inherent unfairness of prohibiting a presumed-innocent defendant from being able to earn the funds needed to pay for the enormous expenses required to defend himself in the profession in which he has long been licensed," said the statement released by Randy Miller, the California attorney for John C. Eastman, the director of the Claremont Institute's Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence.  "That is not justice and serves no legitimate purpose to protect the public," Miller said.  Roland's recommendation was based on a case brought by the Office of Trial Counsel for the State Bar of California.

Judge recommends disbarment of attorney John Eastman over efforts to challenge 2020 election.  A California judge has recommended disbarring attorney John Eastman, determining that he violated ethics rules by pushing former President Donald Trump's election fraud claims.  Eastman had supported Trump's claims that mass voter fraud affected the outcome of the presidential election.  He further was the architect of the alternate elector scheme in which then-Vice President Mike Pence was to reject the electors from pivotal swing states in favor of pro-Trump slates.  Judge Yvette Roland determined that he violated ethics rules in pushing the effort, Politico reported.  He may still appeal the decision to the California Supreme Court, though his law license will be inactive during the appeals process.  Eastman was also indicted in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis's election probe, alongside former President Donald Trump and 17 other alleged co-conspirators.

Pennsylvania: Court Rules in Favor of Signature Verification for Mail-In Voting.  The U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of signature verification for mail-in voting in the state of Pennsylvania.  In a 2-1 ruling by three Democrat-appointed judges, the U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a previous ruling from a federal district court that struck down the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's 2022 ruling that required a "dated signature requirement" for mail-in voting.

NYC Begs Supreme Court to Allow Over 800,000 Illegal Immigrants to Vote.  The New York City council is asking the state's Supreme Court to allow illegal immigrants to vote in the city's municipal elections.  In 2021, then-Mayor Bill de Blasio signed a law that would have allowed 800,000 non-citizens with green cards, visas, and work permits to vote as long as they have resided in the city for at least 30 consecutive days.  However, the controversial law was struck down last month by an appellate court.

The Editor says...
Citizens have no need for "green cards, visas, and work permits," because those things are for temporary authorization of visitors, tourists, and migrant workers.  The New York City council is providing many illegal immigrants with housing and other freebies, which establishes a relationship that could easily be construed as buying votes, if the illegal immigrants were to be allowed to participate in elections.

Here's The Truth About Georgia's Election Integrity Bill You Won't Hear From The ACLU.  World War II pilots coined various versions of the expression, "If you're not taking flak, you're not over the target."  Warriors for election integrity in swing-state Georgia have encountered heavy fire in recent weeks as the Republican-controlled state Senate prepares to debate Georgia House Bill 976 on Thursday — the last day of the session.  Listening to Democrats and their lawfare allies, you would think the package of provisions aimed at greater transparency and accountability in elections will turn the clock back to the Jim Crow era (which Democrats created, by the way). For the race-baiting left, any mention of integrity in elections from the right equals "voter suppression."  "House Bill 976 threatens democracy," the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) direly insists in a mass mailing urging Georgians to email their lawmakers to vote against the bill.  Curiously, the ACLU, a crusader against voter ID, clean voter rolls, and other basic election integrity safeguards, claims HB 976, "Threatens Election Integrity" by allowing "third party databases to be used as evidence" to prove voter ineligibility.  Integrity appears to be a problem for the ACLU in general.

Fresh Evidence of Ballot Stuffing, Voter Fraud May Lead to THIRD Attempt to Elect Mayor.  Connecticut Secretary of State Stephanie Thomas (D) is asking the State Elections Enforcement Commission (SEEC) to investigate allegations of ballot stuffing and voter fraud in the city of Bridgeport's mayoral election.  If the commission concludes that fraud did sway the results, this will be the second time such a determination has been made in less than a year.  The September Democrat primary results were tossed out by a state judge after a preponderance of evidence indicated allies of incumbent Democrat Mayor Joe Ganim engaged in vote-box stuffing and illegal ballot-harvesting practices.  The initial results on election night showed Ganim's primary challenger, John Gomes, ahead by several hundred votes.  However, the next day, the results reversed, with Ganim taking the lead.

Court dismisses Pennsylvania Freedom Caucus lawsuit challenging automatic voter registration.  A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit by two dozen conservative state lawmakers that claimed ballot access initiatives by President Joe Biden and Gov. Josh Shapiro usurped the state Legislature's authority to direct federal elections in the commonwealth.  U.S. District Judge Jennifer P. Wilson's one-page order on Tuesday grants motions by state and federal officials to dismiss the case.  The order also denies a request by two dozen conservative lawmakers for a preliminary injunction to block the ballot access initiatives, including Shapiro's executive order implementing automatic voter registration for driver's license applicants.  In a statement, Shapiro said automatic voter registration is safe, secure, efficient, and entirely within his administration's authority.  Shapiro said that in 2020, when he was attorney general, he defeated Donald Trump and "his conspiracy theorist allies" in court to defend Pennsylvania residents' votes and access to the ballot box.

Chicago Election Shenanigans.  What a Surprise!  I sometimes think that leftists intentionally do sketchy things in elections just to enrage Republicans.  How else can you explain the transparently ridiculous excuses for Democrat-leaning ballots suddenly appearing days after an election, only to massively swing election results?  [Tweet]  It's like they want us to see it and complain so that their allies in the media can gaslight the public and smear us as conspiracy theorists and election deniers.  It drives us crazy, and the public seems to tolerate it because confronting the fact that our elections are rigged is dispiriting.  Yet another example of this phenomenon took place in Chicago again, when over 9000 ballots were "discovered" during the excessively-long counting process, threatening to swing the election for prosecutor away from a moderate Democrat to a loony leftist.

In Cook County, the Chicago Way recrudesces for the prosecutor's race.  Another mail-ballot election, another trove of "found" ballots, which is what we see in a local race for Chicago's state's attorney (or prosecutor) between two Democrats. [...] American elections are getting quite a reputation for this.  Every third world country on the planet can count its ballots in one night, but somehow, the U.S. always takes at least a week, and always has "errors" like troves of "found" ballots.  The other thing is that these "errors" happen only when the race is really close: [...] Let me guess:  The tougher-on-crime one is ahead in the polls, and when the final tally is taken from those 10,000 "found" ballots, the candidate who takes the winner's crown will be the other one.  A Google search shows that that is exactly the set-up we are starting to see.

Read the rules before playing the game.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s 15,000 Signatures for Ballot Access in Nevada Are Void Due to VP Requirement.  While Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is scheduled to announce his running mate on Tuesday, it appears not to have come soon enough for his bid for ballot access in Nevada.  Despite reaching the goal of collecting 15,000 signatures from Nevada voters earlier this month, which is beyond the requirement needed to appear on November's ballot, the petition may have to start the signature-gathering effort from scratch.  This is because Kennedy's petition in Nevada only listed himself, failing to include a running mate as required by Nevada's presidential candidate guidelines. [...] On March 7, just two days after Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced that his campaign had successfully gathered the required signatures, the Nevada Secretary of State's office issued a memo to all independent presidential candidates.  The memo outlined the mandatory components of their filings with the office, stating candidates must submit "a declaration of candidacy and a petition of candidacy, in which the person must also designate a nominee for Vice President."

The writer of this article appears to suggest that Republicans should start counterfeiting ballots to keep up with the Democrats.
Ballot Manufacturing, Not Ballot Harvesting, Will Determine 2024.  The RNC and state parties are following a "chase the ballot strategy" — which Leftists used for decades — but they left out the most important part!  What the RNC misses is the Ballot Manufacturing Strategy the Leftists also use to juice up ballot harvesting.  If one implements a ballot harvesting strategy, it will alway lose to a ballot harvesting PLUS ballot manufacturing strategy.  100% of the time.  Ballot manufacturing is the long term aggregation on voter rolls of fake people, real people at fake addresses, real people at real addresses which are ineligible, like a Walmart, illegal aliens who will never show up — but will get a mail-in ballot.  Ballot manufacturing has a single objective — creating lists to which physical ballots can be tied when needed.  Those lists exist to be used, if necessary, to make up any margin the Republicans pick up by ballot harvesting at Kiwanis Clubs and evangelical churches.

Drop box or mail-in ballots just "found" in Chicago that may effect [sic] razor-thin Cook County state's attorney race.  Oh no, another "found ballots" story.  Primary election Day was Tuesday in Illinois[.]  Eileen O'Neill Burke and Clayton Harris III are the Democratic candidates for Cook County state's attorney.  Cook County is Chicago and the inner suburbs.  I live in Cook and I voted for Burke, as Harris promises to continue the pro-criminal "prosecution" policies of Jussie Smollett's protector, Kim Foxx.  Mail-in ballots are still being counted, currently O'Neill Burke, a retired state appellate judge is leading by about 4,000 votes.  Mail-in ballots are still arriving.  But suddenly thousands of drop box ballots have just been discovered.  Or are they mail-in ballots?  Details are still coming in.  But right now, this story is combining the debacles of the 2000 Florida presidential election recounts and the 2020 Trump-Biden race.

Chicago election officials 'find' 10,000 missing ballots in Democratic primary race for DA.  The Chicago Board of Elections says it made a mistake when tabulating the results for the Democratic primary race for Cook County state's attorney.  The race to lead the nation's second-largest prosecutor's office could not be tighter with just 2,000 votes separating the candidates after a heated primary campaign.  At last count, Eileen O'Neill Burke is leading Clayton Harris III by 2,015 votes.  O'Neill Burke has 259,445 votes while Harris has 257,430 votes.  'I traded speed for accuracy in reporting out numbers this week as quickly as I could,' Chicago Board of Elections Public Information Officer Max Bever said in a statement.  'I truly regret this error on my part and for the confusion that it has caused the voters of Chicago.  I will share updated numbers only when they are accurate and verified.  'There will be additional results coming in, both large and small, through the next week.  'We continue to ask for voters' patience as the process plays out, and by law all the votes are counted.'  The vote-by-mail ballots were delivered on Monday, March 18.  It is not clear why they were not included during the original count.

The Editor says...
Speaking for myself only, as always, I do not find that lame excuse to be credible.  He might as well have said, "Oops, I just found 10,000 votes, days after the election, when we now know exactly how many votes we need to have our preferred candidate win."  Everybody in town can see what's going on; even the socialist baby-killing Democrats, who will continue to vote for Democrats, regardless of the odor of corruption, or the decades of broken promises, or anything else.

Judge Tosses Challenge, Upholds Law Allowing 'Noncitizens' To Vote In DC.  A federal judge on Thursday dismissed a lawsuit challenging a District of Columbia law allowing "noncitizen residents" to vote in local elections.  Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an appointee of President Barack Obama, found that a group of seven citizen plaintiffs lacked standing to challenge the legislation.  Their lawsuit against the D.C. Board of Elections, filed on March 14, aimed to block the 2022 law passed by the Council of the District of Columbia.  They argued that "noncitizens" do not have a fundamental right to vote in the United States and that allowing them to cast ballots and hold office in the District of Columbia dilutes the votes of U.S. citizens.  "It follows from our national independence that United States citizens have a right to govern, and be governed by, themselves.  The constitutional right to citizen self-government, moreover, has been recognized in repeated holdings of the Supreme Court of the United States," their complaint reads.  "Nor does any noncitizen have a constitutional right to govern the United States," the complaint adds.  The group argued that the Supreme Court has recognized and protected these rights against infringement in "multiple precedents."

Ohio Volunteers Uncover Massive Irregularities in Voter Database.  In the spring of 2021, volunteer investigators from Ohio acquired publicly available voter data for all 88 counties and started their analysis.  Over the next year the researchers found hundreds of thousands of records in their state's voter rolls with irregular data for which they couldn't identify consistent explanations, no matter who they asked.  In late summer of 2022, they reached out to Marly Hornik, co-leader of New York Citizens Audit, whose team had identified similar inaccuracies in the New York State data.  In 2023, Hornik and Harry Haury, an expert in cybercrime and election law, founded United Sovereign Americans and developed a legal strategy for securing the validity of the 2024 election based on federal civil rights law and Supreme Court precedent, which established for election officials that ignorance of the law is no excuse.

Jury Convicts Former Wisconsin Election Official for Fabricating Military Absentee Ballots.  A former deputy director of the Milwaukee Election Commission is facing fines and jail time after being found guilty of fabricating military absentee ballots in a supposed effort to expose false claims about election fraud.  The case places focus on debates over election integrity and potential vulnerabilities in the system.  But it also highlights a fine line between whistleblowing and criminal misconduct in America's elections.  The former election official was convicted on Wednesday despite claiming that her actions were intended to show that the state's election system is secure.

RNC, NVGOP Sue Nevada Secretary of State Over Bloated Voter Rolls.  In a lawsuit filed on Monday in U.S. District Court, Nevada Republicans accuse state and county officials of poorly maintained voter registration rolls, leading to inconsistencies.  The Republican National Committee (RNC), Nevada Republican Party (NV GOP), and Washoe County voter Scott Johnston allege that the Nevada Secretary of State, Cisco Aguilar, and four local officials, including Clark County Registrar of Voters Lorena Portillo, are in violation of the National Voter Registration Act, a federal law requiring states to maintain accurate voter rolls.  The GOP seeks a permanent injunction forcing the state to follow the law and improve its voter list maintenance.

Trump's Third Act has begun.  The gears of the machine have become visible.  We can all see the FBI is rotten and the DOJ is weaponized.  We know the border is open intentionally.  We know the cartels are working with our government.  We know our elections are DESIGNED to not be auditable and there's only one reason for it.  We can see Biden is not in charge.

Democrats' New Plan To Fix The Election.  The DNC is reportedly assembling a team of attorneys to track the ballot access requests of third-party candidates in an effort to allay party concerns that these individuals may damage President Joe Biden's reelection prospects, according to a Wednesday story in the New York Times.  The New York Times reports that attorneys Robert Lenhard and Dana Remus would head up the new group's efforts to combat what the party sees as an obstacle to former President Trump's prospects of reelection in November.  The party sees monitoring the ballot access victories of independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Cornel West, the Green Party, and No Labels as of primary importance.  The source states that the DNC's legal division is coordinating field teams, analytics, research, and local lawyers nationwide to track who is able to cast ballots.

Voting and the Meaning of Honor.  There was a time when birthdates were not required to determine voting eligibility, nor were verified mailing addresses.  This was a time of relative honor.  Globalization has so transformed our reality that it is hard to remember what a small town was, with a bakery, a bank, a grocery, and a lumberyard — with a town clerk who knew everyone and his family tree.  Ballots were anonymous, but everything else about life for many Americans was based on direct connection and accountability over generations.  Voter ID was implied, as the person handing you a ballot on Election Day knew that you deserved that privilege and would shoulder the responsibility well.  Times have changed, and the meaning of honor has gone with them.  We are told it is honorable to register to vote through a computer and check a citizenship box.  We are told it makes us bad and mean if we question the integrity of using such a system.  Registrars are told that the DMV has authority to validate voting qualifications, and pollworkers are chided when they don't emphatically refuse to look at an ID.  In short, the very idea of owner-stakeholders, American citizens, stewarding our own destiny has been abandoned in practice, if not in parlance.  Registering to vote, in the words of a commissioner of elections in New York, is "an honor system."  Where is the honor in anonymous civics?

Woman Charged with Voter Fraud in Wisconsin Was Also Involved in Election Night Missing Absentee Ballot Flash Drive Scandal.  On Wednesday, top Wisconsin Democrat Kimberly Zapata was found guilty on ALL counts against her for illegally requesting military ballots.  Kimberly Zapata, the deputy director of the City of Milwaukee Election Commission, was fired for committing the then alleged election fraud back in 2022.  Zapata was sending out military ballots to homes in Wisconsin.  The investigation all started back In November 2022, when Wisconsin State Rep. Janel Brandtjen, then Chair of the Assembly on Campaigns and Elections, sent out an election fraud alert.

Getting Hot Out There in Election Fraud Land.  Is Arizona going to the Supreme Court?  The Court is rumoured to want an election fraud case.  It can't ignore this very much longer.  No one is letting go.  Everyone observing thinks the judge will quail, because he will be ruined and under threat by the cartel that owns Arizona.  If Lake loses her signature battle — which she shouldn't — this was straight up fraud — it doesn't matter.  We're in an incremental battle.  These people, the forces on the now-bonkers left, devised their successful program in 2002 with four billionaires, and for twenty years they have been accruing power, building their system straight out to fraud and selling out to the cartels and WEFers.  At some point along the way, the power they built went haywire and began to eat the culture.  What that has triggered is a tsunami of citizen activism.  Not the astroturf of the corporate left or international socialist left, but the real thing.  We're tracking everything.  Spy on us, we will gut your data.

Here's How the Democrats Could Steal Nevada in 2024.  Nevada hasn't voted Republican in a presidential election since 2004.  I have to admit that I'd nearly given up on the state, as hopes of being competitive there have been repeatedly shattered.  But Donald Trump appears to be in a solid position to win it in November.  He's led in the RealClear Politics average in Nevada since early November, with an average spread of +4.3 points.  In 2020, Trump never led Biden in the RCP average there.  Something has definitely changed.  Naturally, Democrats have to be worried.  Even though Nevada only has six Electoral College votes, those are six votes that could make Trump's path to 270 much easier.  But we shouldn't take Nevada for granted.  In fact, it's ripe for election shenanigans.  On Friday, the Republican National Committee (RNC) filed a lawsuit against Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar, claiming the state's voter registration rolls are "impossibly high" because the number of registered voters outnumbers the number of adult citizens in several counties.

Leading Wisconsin Democrat Kimberly Zapata Found Guilty on All Counts Against Her in Voter Fraud Scheme Involving Military Ballots.  In November 2022, Rep. Janel Brandtjen, then Chair of the Assembly on Campaigns and Elections, sent out an election fraud alert.  Rep. Brandtjen received three authentic military ballots to her home addressed to "Holly," a woman who has never lived there.  Brantjen believed this was part of a scheme to steal votes in Wisconsin.  The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on this 2020 voter fraud scheme in several battleground states where military ballots shockingly went almost entirely to Joe Biden.  We posted evidence that this occurred in Michigan, Arizona and Georgia.

The 2024 Election Will Be Neither Free Nor Fair.  The normalization of election tampering has perverted American politics.  Man is a creature that can get accustomed to anything," said Dostoyevsky, and indeed, we've become so accustomed to the manipulation of our elections that it's become almost the norm.  But the Democrats have already far exceeded even their previous serious misdeeds.  Conservative complaints about this tend to be dismissed as conspiracy-mongering or poor sportsmanship.  But to pretend that the Democrats' actions since November 2020 are just part of the rough-and-tumble of politics is to ignore a mountain of evidence staring us in the face.

Michigan Lawyer Stefanie Lambert Arrested by US Marshals in DC Following Court Appearance.  Michigan attorney Stefanie Lambert Junttila was arrested in Washington, D.C., on Monday following a court hearing after she gave the "evidence of numerous crimes" to law enforcement containing internal emails from Dominion Voting Systems, AP reported.  Lambert attended a court hearing in Washington, D.C., for a defamation case involving Patrick Byrne, whom she represents.  Byrne, the former CEO of Overstock, is being sued by Dominion Voting Systems over his claims of election fraud.  Lambert's arrest occurred after it was revealed that she had leaked confidential documents from Dominion to Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf, who has been actively investigating claims of voter fraud from the 2020 election, according to CNN.  The Gateway Pundit reported earlier that Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf has made a bold move by sending a letter to U.S. Representative Jim Jordan, urging a congressional investigation into what he claims as evidence of "foreign interference" in the 2020 election.

Pro-Trump Michigan attorney arrested after hearing in DC over leaking Dominion documents.  An attorney facing criminal charges for illegally accessing Michigan voting machines after the 2020 election was arrested Monday after a hearing in a separate case in federal court in Washington, D.C.  Stefanie Lambert was arrested by U.S. Marshals after a hearing over possible sanctions against her for disseminating confidential emails from Dominion Voting Systems, the target of conspiracy theories over former President Donald Trump's 2020 election loss.  Lambert obtained the Dominion emails by representing Patrick Byrne, a prominent funder of election conspiracy theorists who is being sued by Dominion for defamation.  In a statement, the Marshals office said Lambert was arrested on "local charges."  A Michigan judge earlier this month issued a bench warrant for Lambert after she missed a hearing in her case, in which she's charged with four felonies for accessing voting machines in a search for evidence of a conspiracy theory against Trump.  Lambert had earlier, unsuccessfully, sued to overturn Trump's loss in Michigan.

Google has 'interfered' with elections 41 times over the last 16 years, Media Research Center says.  Google has "interfered" with major elections in the United States 41 times over the last 16 years, according to a new study from the Media Research Center.  "MRC researchers have found 41 times where Google interfered in elections over the last 16 years, and its impact has surged dramatically, making it evermore harmful to democracy.  In every case, Google harmed the candidates — regardless of party — who threatened its left-wing candidate of choice," MRC Free Speech America vice president Dan Schneider and editor Gabriela Pariseau wrote in a summary of their findings.  "From the mouths of Google executives, the tech giant let slip what was never meant to be made public:  That Google uses its "great strength and resources and reach to advance its leftist values," they continued.  "Google's outsized influence on information technology, the body politic and American elections became evident in 2008. [...]"

This is How They Did It — Part 1.  The 2022 midterms were meant entirely, ENTIRELY, to weaken MAGA, to weaken populism world-wide, because if there had been a red wave, populists the world over would have taken heart and swept the polls.  The polls are, in every country, cheated.  The WEF, with the most brilliant (and unethical) people at their command have figured out how.  And we're finally figuring it out too.  Brazil is on the streets, demanding the election be redone.  Mexico is on the streets, refusing mail in ballots, because they know it's a cheat.  Berlin has decided to repeat their elections.  Why?  Weaponized incompetence, one of the main methodologies, as I will describe.  November 7 was a WEF take-over, just like the installation of Rishi Sunak in Britain.  Not even the conservative caucus wanted Sunak, much less the voters. [...] They had forty years to develop this process and it is insanely complex.  The complexity is part of the fraud.

The Perfect Storm:  Drivers Licenses for Illegals + Noncitizens Voting + Mail-in Ballots + Private Funding of Elections + Partisan Hack SOSs.  Does undocumented immigrant mean illegal alien?  If you hesitated before answering yes, you are a victim of progressive doublespeak.  Undocumented immigrants are illegal aliens.  Noncitizens, whether here legally or illegally, are not allowed to vote in our nation's elections.  It's a felony for noncitizens to vote, and the U.S. and state constitutions clearly prohibit foreigners from voting.  Even so, "The Department of Justice appears to be using taxpayer dollars to have jails and the U.S. Marshals Service encourage incarcerated felons and noncitizens to register to vote," stated a letter to the DOJ from Mississippi's leading election official, Secretary of State Michael Watson (R). [...] According to an article in the Midwesterner, an illegal group claims credit for flipping the Michigan state House, and as a payoff, the party in power will seek to approve driver's licenses for illegal aliens.

Will the 2024 Election Get Lost in the Mail?  In the absence of an extremely unlikely recovery of public confidence in the President and the Democrats, the voters will attempt to return the White House and the Senate to the Republicans in November. [...] With regard to the Senate, the Democrats face a brutal map this year.  Of the 33 seats up for election, 23 are held by Democrats.  Even worse, several of these are in states that Trump won by double digits in 2016 and 2020.  In pre-COVID America, it was possible to look at such data and predict a good Republican year with a reasonable amount of confidence.  Indeed, a recent CNN report conceded that Trump could win the White House back even if he loses Arizona, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.  Unfortunately, most of the swing states that will decide the presidential and Senate elections are governed by Democrats who have unequivocally embraced mail-in voting and ballot harvesting.  This means millions of votes counted in 2024 will have ostensibly been cast by people who never go anywhere near a traditional polling place.  Moreover, these votes will be transported by entities that have little incentive and less ability to keep them secure.

Biden Now Publicly Engaging in Election Interference, 100 Percent Impossible to Deny.  President Joe Biden can attempt to deny that he has now publicly engaged in election interference, but no thinking American voter is going to buy that argument.  Of course, he was only following in the footsteps of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who in a Senate floor speech on Thursday said that it was time for new elections in Israel.  "As a lifelong supporter of Israel, it has become clear to me:  The Netanyahu coalition no longer fits the needs of Israel after Oct. 7," Schumer said, referring to the attack by Hamas that targeted and killed hundred of Israeli civilians and took hundreds more captive, according to The Hill.  "The world has changed — radically — since then, and the Israeli people are being stifled right now by a governing vision that is stuck in the past," he added.

Kari Lake and Mark Finchem Take Lawsuit to Ban Voting Machines to The US Supreme Court with New Allegations of Illegal Machine Certification.  Kari Lake and Mark Finchem appealed their lawsuit to ban the use of electronic voting machines to the United States Supreme Court on Thursday [3/14/2024].  This comes after the 2022 election, where 60% of the voting machines were reportedly programmed to fail on election day, causing mass voter disenfranchisement and up to four-hour-long lines for Republican in-person voters.  The filing includes "new allegations," some of which were previously mentioned in Kari Lake's lawsuit to overturn the stolen election, [...]

What's Happening in California's Elections Is a Disgrace.  It's been over a week, and California still hasn't counted all the ballots from its March 5 primaries.  As of 12:45 pm today [3/14/2024], it had just reached 90 percent.  That's ridiculous.  It's not just conservatives who are making these observations; progressive commentators have been lobbing criticism while mocking their side's knee-jerk reactions concerning election integrity.  You know the rule:  if you criticize any aspect of American elections, liberals brand you an election denier.  Left-wing reporter Michael Tracey noticed the Golden State's slow roll in counting the ballots last week.  On March 7, California reached the 50 percent mark on their returns.  Glenn Greenwald chimed in today, adding that Brazil counts all their ballots within hours — and they have mandatory voting for all persons over the age of 16:  [Tweet]

Connecticut Governor Wants To Give Noncitizens IDs That Look Exactly Like Those Used To Vote.  Connecticut's Democratic Gov. Ned Lamont is trying to redesign driver's licenses so that those given to illegal aliens will be indistinguishable from those given to legal residents — in the same state where one city just had an election do-over because of an apparent cast of voter fraud.  The Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles currently denotes on licenses if they are "Drive Only" IDs, a measure put in place to ensure ineligible individuals cannot vote, according to the CT Examiner.  "Drive Only" licenses have a "DO" stamp on the front and information on the back clearly stating they may not be used for voting.  Gov. Ned Lamont, however, wants to remove the marks because he's mad that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a law that does not recognize licenses given to illegal immigrants.  "Connecticut prides itself on being a welcoming state," Lamont's spokeswoman Julia Bergman said in a statement, according to CT Examiner. [...] Florida passed legislation last year specifying that it will not recognize licenses from Connecticut and four other states that permit illegal immigrants to get the government-issued ID.

Not A Single Democrat Witness In Congress Agreed Only Citizens Should Vote In Federal Elections.  None of Democrats' witnesses in a congressional hearing Tuesday could say resolutely that they believe only citizens should be able to vote in a federal election.  During a Senate Judiciary Hearing on the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, Republican Utah Sen. Mike Lee asked the witnesses to provide a basic "yes" or "no" answer to a series of questions about non-citizens voting.  "Do you believe that only citizens of the United States should be able to vote in federal elections?" Lee asked each of the witnesses.  "We don't have a position about non-citizens voting in federal elections, we believe that's what the current laws are, and so we're certainly fighting for everyone who is eligible under current law to vote," Executive Director of The Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law Damon T. Hewitt said.

DOJ Is Using Bidenbucks To Encourage Illegals And Felons To Vote, Says Mississippi Secretary Of State.  The Department of Justice appears to be using taxpayer dollars to have jails and the U.S. Marshals Service encourage incarcerated felons and noncitizens to register to vote, according to Mississippi's leading election official.  On March 6, Republican Secretary of State Michael Watson sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland regarding the DOJ's compliance with Executive Order 14019, a directive signed by President Biden in March 2021 that ordered hundreds of federal agencies to interfere in state and local election administration by using U.S. taxpayer money to boost voter registration and get-out-the-vote activities.  Each department was directed to draft "a strategic plan" explaining how it intended to fulfill Biden's edict, and to collaborate with so-called "nonpartisan third-party organizations" that have been "approved" by the administration to supply "voter registration services on agency premises."

Mississippi — One of the Reddest States — Has Enough Anomalous Voters and Aberrations in Its Voter Rolls to Impact a Statewide Election.  Mississippi citizens invited the Fractal quantum technology team to audit the Mississippi voter rolls — and the results, as you can see in this video, are surprising.  The reddest state, or one of them, has voter rolls with enough obvious aberrations — found with Fractal quantum compute in less than 45 minutes — to impact a statewide election.  [Video clip] [...] Mississippi has honest, diligent, highly patriotic election management at the state level.  The Mississippi Secretary of State, Michael Watson, is a national leader — almost alone — demanding voter rolls be free of illegal alien voters.  The Mississippi Secretary of State office provided very clean, professional, inexpensive, data exports.  Of the 26 states where the Fractal team received voter rolls, those in Mississippi were by far the most professional.  The office of the Secretary of State offered the team every bit of cooperation — Mississippi citizens ought to be pretty pleased the Secretary of State team there is vitally interested in any data they can get on how to improve voter rolls.

Texas House Republican introduces bill to prevent noncitizens from serving as election administrators.  Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas, has introduced a measure to prevent noncitizens from serving as election administrators ahead of the 2024 presidential election.  Named the "No Foreign Persons Administering Our Elections Act," the measure, if successful, would prohibit state and local jurisdictions from hiring individuals who are not U.S. citizens, including illegal immigrants, to administer an election for federal positions.  "Foreign agents have no place overseeing our sacred democratic process," Pfluger, a member of the House Homeland Security Committee, told Fox News Digital.  "My legislation aims to ensure that only American citizens have the honor and responsibility of serving as election administrators," he added.  "No foreign influence should taint the integrity of our voting system."

A week after primaries in California and they still haven't counted all the votes.  "Count all the votes!" as the lefties liked to say loudly.  That was their justification for mass mail-in ballots in California, ballot-harvesting by illegals, and extended voting for weeks and weeks.  Election Day?  No, election month.  They said it was to expand the franchise to "marginalized communities" and raise turnout.  Curiously, turnout has now hit a near-record low in a presidential primary year as this Secretary of State supplied data makes clear.  Before these new "innovations" were enacted, mostly in the era of COVID, it was not unusual to have turnout in such years in the 70% range.  Today, they got ... 34%, just slightly above 2022's 33.2%, which wasn't a presidential primary election year.  Now we're onto the extended counting. [...] They said they'd count all the votes — and as of today, they haven't counted all the votes.  Which is funny stuff, because supposedly less-developed nations like Brazil, Argentina and Mexico, with much larger populations of voters, can count all its ballots overnight on 100% turnout in some cases, and still come up with a result that's fair and normal.

Poll: Majority of Democrats Oppose Certification of 2024 Election If Donald Trump Wins.  Fifty-seven percent of Democrat voters would oppose Congress certifying the 2024 election if former President Donald Trump wins, a Rasmussen Reports poll sponsored by the National Pulse found Monday [3/11/2024].  The poll asked likely voters:  "Some Democrats in Congress have said that if Trump wins this year's election, they will vote against certifying the election results because of Trump's role in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riots.  Do you support or oppose Democrats refusing to certify the election results if Trump wins?"  57 percent of Democrats would oppose certification.  Nearly two-thirds of "liberals" said they would oppose certification.

Poll: Insurrectionist Democrats Oppose Certifying Election if Trump Wins.  Coming to us from the "you can't make this stuff up" files is yet another story of the insanity currently enveloping the political debate surrounding the upcoming elections.  If there's one thing that the Democrats are absolutely sure about and plan to campaign on until November, it's that Donald Trump committed insurrection on January 6, 2021, when he attempted to prevent Congress from certifying the election of Joe Biden.  (He didn't, but we've been over that too many times already.)  But according to a new poll from Rasmussen, they are almost equally sure of something else.  If he wins this November, that election should clearly not be certified.  And a solid majority of them feel that way.  How people manage to make it through the day with this level of cognitive dissonance remains something of a mystery.

Will they get away with it again?  On February 4, 2021, right after Biden was finally ensconced in the Oval Office, Molly Ball of Time magazine told the truth.  2020's presidential election was fixed. [...] Ball wrote: "There was 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 pact was formalized in a terse, little-noticed joint statement of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and AFL-CIO published on Election Day.  Both sides would come to see it as a sort of implicit bargain — inspired by the summer's massive, sometimes destructive racial-justice protests — in which the forces of labor came together with the forces of capital to keep the peace and oppose Trump's assault on democracy."  Of course, the Chamber of Commerce (which is dedicated to dumping most U.S. jobs overseas and filling the remaining ones with illegal aliens) was in on it.  Of course, the social justice warriors of the AFL-CIO (which was led by Rich Trumka whose idiot son wants to ban gas stoves) were in on it.  Ball made it sound like those who rigged the election were the good guys.

The Anti-Democratic Democratic Left.  Democracy is also endangered by radical efforts to alter decades of voting protocols to achieve short-term political advantage.  Never has a political party organized its state attorney generals and kindred courts to ban their likely opposing presidential candidate from state ballots.  Yet Colorado, Illinois, and Maine did just that in an effort to erase Trump's name from their state ballots, on grounds that he was an "insurrectionist," despite never being charged with, much less convicted, of "insurrection." The anti-democratic effort was designed to deprive millions of voters of their right to vote for the candidate of their choice and to diminish the chances of down-ballot state and local Republican candidates.  In 2020, under the guise of the COVID lockdowns, anti-democratic liberal activists sued or sought out sympathetic bureaucrats in numerous states to overturn state voting laws, a right traditionally given to the state legislatures by the Constitution.  They proved so successful that, in a historical first, 68% of Americans in 2020 did not vote on Election Day.  By design, the vast majority of them were Biden voters — even as the rejection rate of less verifiable mail-in and early voting ballots radically declined.

Sheriff Dar Leaf Announces Investigation into Michigan 2020 Election.  Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf announced that he has launched an investigation into the handling of the Michigan 2020 election, implicating Dominion Voting Systems officials, Michigan's Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, Attorney General Dana Nessel, computer scientist J. Alex Halderman, and others in potential misconduct.  The Gateway Pundit previously reported in 2022 that Sheriff Dar Leaf filed a lawsuit against the lawless and obstructive actions of Attorney General Dana Nessel, who regularly mocks and threatens her political opponents, together with Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, who's blocked the efforts of citizens and law enforcement to investigate voter fraud and voter irregularities related to the 2020 election.  The Barry County Sheriff is also suing MI Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson's henchman, Jonathan Brater.  Jonathan Brater is Michigan's Director of Elections, a member of the executive branch of state government, and an employee of the state.  As director of elections, Mr. Brater is "vested with the powers and shall perform the duties of the secretary of state under his or her supervision, with respect to the supervision and administration of the election laws."

Challenging Election Irregularities in Maryland.  United Sovereign Americans, a nationwide group dedicated to fair and honest elections, has joined with Maryland Election Integrity, LLC, in filing a lawsuit in Maryland Federal Court against the Maryland State Board of Elections with Judge Stephanie A. Gallagher presiding. [...] The lawsuit states:  "Meticulous analysis of the official Maryland State Voter Registration Database reveals a minimum of 79,392 current apparent registration violations... The analysis revealed 1,699 instances of duplicate registrations, 25,084 instances of registrants with questionable inactive status, 3,366 instances of active registrations without a certified US Post Office mailing address, 5,680 instances of active registrants who moved at least 4 years ago, 605 instances of registrations with no residential address, 296 instances of active registrants with a nonstandard address, 1,218 instances of active registrants who are deceased, 883 instances of age discrepant registration (younger than 18 or older than 115), and 40,518 instances of questionable registration date."

House Republicans Hold The Power To Stop Biden's Federal Election Rigging.  President Biden's use of taxpayer dollars to rig the 2024 election in Democrats' favor is a whole new level of sinister — and only House Republicans possess the power to stop him.  Two months after taking office, Biden took the unprecedented step of ordering hundreds of federal agencies to interfere in state and local election administration.  Under Executive Order 14019, all departments were required to use U.S. taxpayer money to boost voter registration and get-out-the-vote activities.  The head of each department was directed to draft "a strategic plan" explaining how his or her agency intended to fulfill Biden's edict.  Federal departments were also told to collaborate with so-called "nonpartisan third-party organizations" that have been "approved" by the administration to supply "voter registration services on agency premises."  Many of these groups are extremely left-wing, such as Demos and the ACLU.  The secrecy surrounding these "Bidenbucks" in the years since its enactment prompted House Republicans to seek further information about the directive and its implementation by federal agencies.

Texas district attorney reveals voting mix-up let partner cast vote in her name in Super Tuesday loss.  Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg has raised alarms about voting procedures in Texas after she was turned away from the polls on Super Tuesday because her ballot had already been cast.  In a statement posted on X, Harris County Clerk Teneshia Hudspeth said Ms Ogg was unable to vote after her partner — with whom she shares an address — inadvertently cast a ballot in her name during early voting last week.  "Last Friday, DA Ogg's partner, who is registered to vote at the same address as DA Ogg, voted in the primary under DA Ogg's name," the statement read.  "In the process of qualifying a voter, each voter is asked to review and confirm the information that appears on the iPad screen, including the voter's name.  If the information that appears on the screen is not accurate, the voter must notify the election clerk.  "In this instance, the DA's partner must not have noticed that the information was not hers, and proceeded to sign in and vote under DA Ogg's name.  We believe this is the case because DA Ogg's partner signed her own name as confirmation," Ms Hudspeth added.

If Youngkin Doesn't Veto Dems' ERIC Bill, He's Gifting Virginia's Voter Roll Data To Left-Wing Activists.  Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin is refusing to say whether he'll veto a Democrat bill granting Virginia's voter roll data to a leftist-linked elections group that is instrumental to Democrats' get-out-the-vote machine.  On Friday, the state's Democrat-controlled Senate sent legislation (SB 606) to Youngkin's desk that would force Virginia to rejoin the Electronic Registration Information Center, or ERIC, a widely used voter-roll "management" system founded by far-left activist David Becker that was "sold to states as a quick and easy way to update their voter rolls."  In reality, ERIC's membership agreement places a higher priority on registering new voters than on cleaning up existing voter rolls.  The program inflates voter rolls by requiring member states to contact "eligible but unregistered" (EBU) residents to encourage them to register to vote.  When a state joins ERIC, it is required to submit "all active and inactive voter files," "all licensing or identification records contained in the motor vehicles database," and any state files related to "voter registration functions."  Then, ERIC contrasts this data with that submitted by other member states.

Democrats Promise Fraud and Insurrection.  [Scroll down]  We all know the true fight happens when they try to delay the election, or they wind up losing the election, despite all of their efforts.  If they lose, they have promised to settle it in the House of Representatives, refusing to certify the election.  The very same thing they called an insurrection.  The very mention of it should bring those charges.  In fact, were I to offer counsel to anyone running for office, I would have them say to their opponent that "Your party has promised to engage in insurrection if Trump wins, that, by your own definition, is insurrection.  It is a threat to democracy and so are you."

Obama's Third Term — Going For Four.  The United States of America has become the laughingstock of the world, with Joe Biden playing the role of our "president" in this macabre stage production put on by the Luciferian Globalists. [...] Anyone who truly thinks he won the 2020 election honestly and fairly is under the greatest of delusions.  Prior to that election, Biden himself openly stated, "We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics."  And he didn't even campaign.  His "rallies" consisted of a dozen people, sitting alone in chairs placed in circles, six feet apart.  Meanwhile, his opponent had tens of thousands of people, all eager to see and hear Trump speak, wherever he went.  No — regardless of what the "fact checkers" will tell you, and regardless of our lawless "justice system," the 2020 election was absolutely and clearly rigged.  A stolen election.  And do you remember the recounts?  Republican election observers were banned from those — sheets of cardboard covering the windows while the so-called "recounts" took place.  It was all a tragic joke, yet allowed to happen... and now we have countless patriots in prison or dead because they simply took part in a "redress of grievances" on January 6... held for months and years without charges; forced into fake plea deals; driven to suicide by the unrelenting persecution of the Feds — just for being patriots who believe in the rule of law.

How the Left Plans to Cover Up Potential Voter Fraud.  It's not an exaggeration to say that this could be the most important election most of us have lived through.  If Joe Biden manages to limp through the next several months and somehow wins (by hook or crook), it would be devastating to the America we know and love.  Illegal immigrants will continue to flow through our open borders, we'll likely get embroiled in more wars, the nation (and the world) will be less safe, and the Left's hegemony will continue, untethered to either reality or the rule of law.  That's why we're willing to put in the long hours, dig deep in our reporting, and work extra hard to fact-check the Left's lies.  It's all worth it because we love our country.  But the Left is working overtime, too, and unlike in past years, we're facing enormous headwinds designed to cripple us financially and smear our reputation.

Court Affirms Arizona's Need To Keep Noncitizens Off Voter Rolls, But Makes It Harder To Do So.  A federal judge on Thursday acknowledged Arizona's interest in keeping its voter rolls free of noncitizens, while simultaneously hampering laws designed to do just that.  "Considering the evidence as a whole, the court concludes that Arizona's interests in preventing non-citizens from voting and promoting public confidence in Arizona's elections outweighs the limited burden voters might encounter when required to provide" documentary proof of citizenship, wrote U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton, disagreeing with the attempt by President Joe Biden's Justice Department to paint Arizona election integrity laws as "discriminatory."  But at the same time, Bolton struck down or handicapped a handful of Arizona laws designed to ensure that only Arizona citizens are on the state's voter rolls, including a provision of H.B. 2243 that directed county recorders who have "reason to believe" voters are not citizens to investigate, and potentially remove, those individuals from the voter rolls.

Common sense has become headline news.
Arizona Federal Judge Rules Voters Must Prove Their U.S. Citizenship Status In Order to Vote In Elections.  An Arizona federal judge is upholding a state law that requires voters to provide verification of their U.S. citizenship before their votes can be counted.  Following a lawsuit that led to Arizona legislators facing accusations of discrimination for requiring voters to verify their U.S. citizenship, Judge Susan Bolton ruled on Thursday that such requirements were not discriminatory.  In March 2022, a group of plaintiffs led by the Hispanic voting rights organization "Mi Familia Vota" filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona, claiming that the state's law was unconstitutional.  The Biden Administration filed a separate complaint that was consolidated in the case.  The plaintiffs argued that H.B. 2492 was a "baseless assault on Arizona's election system based on a conspiracy theory that non-citizens are voting, despite a persistent lack of credible evidence to support such claim."  They added that it was "cynical" and of "bad faith" to use the "politically motivated and false allegations" to restrict people from voting in U.S. elections.  However, Bolton argued that Arizona has an interest in preventing voter fraud as the 2024 presidential election nears.

Voting Machine Warehouse Official Withdraws Lawsuit Against Trump and Two Local GOP Poll Watchers.  Greg Stenstrom and Leah Hoopes, alongside former President Donald Trump, emerged victorious in a high-profile defamation case in Pennsylvania.  The lawsuit, known as Savage vs Trump et al, alleged malicious and defamatory statements against the Plaintiff, James Savage, following the 2020 Presidential election.  The case was one of the only remaining 2020 election cases on the books.

Of Course Joe Biden is the President!  [Scroll down]  Trump's people simply can't handle the truth because Biden's win is so much bigger than most minds can comprehend.  For example:  at least 11,326 people who were not even on the voter rolls in Maricopa County on November 7th just came out of the woodwork to go for Joe on December 4th.  Now I know what you're thinking:  isn't that after Election Day?  Isn't that technically impossible?  That's just how big this landslide really was — all the technicalities like dates simply melted away in the final tally.  And we're just talking about the Biden voters who showed up in person.  There were another 74,240 mail-in ballots that got counted for Joe and nobody even knows who sent in those ballots.  No, I don't want to hear [...] about suspicious ballots coming out of nowhere in the middle of the night to be counted either:  the same thing happened in lots of other counties across America, so you know it's true.

Delaware's early voting and permanent absentee laws are unconstitutional, a judge says.  Laws allowing early voting and permanent absentee status violate Delaware's constitution and are invalid, a judge ruled in a lawsuit brought by a state elections inspector and a Republican lawmaker.  The laws are "inconsistent with our constitution and therefore cannot stand," Superior Court Judge Mark Conner declared in a ruling late Friday.  Elections inspector Michael Mennella and Senate Minority Leader Gerald Hocker showed by "clear and convincing evidence" that the laws were unconstitutional, the judge said.  Friday's ruling follows a 2022 state Supreme Court decision that laws allowing universal voting by mail and Election Day registration were unconstitutional.  The justices said the vote-by-mail statute impermissibly expanded absentee voting eligibility, while same-day registration conflicted with registration periods spelled out in the constitution.

Election Workers Keep Resigning Because "You Have To Be Crazy" To Do Job Former Chief Official Says.  In 2022, after five years of service as chief election official, Deanna Spikula announced her resignation following alleged accusations of treason and death threats.  Her replacement quit after allegedly receiving fentanyl-laced envelopes a few weeks after taking over.  Cari-Ann Burgess is next in line for Georgia's Washoe County Registrar of Voters, where every employee, 18 to be exact, who worked there during the 2020 election has quit.  Additionally, almost every election administrator has left statewide in the past 3½ years.

[The] South Carolina Primary [was] Called For Trump One Minute After Polls Closed.  Once again, there was no question who would win a big primary election, with Donald Trump being declared the winner just seconds after the polls closed in South Carolina.

South Carolina Voters Unable to Vote Due to Internet Outage.  In a recent turn of events, South Carolina voters faced a frustrating situation during the voting process.  Reports emerged that voters were unable to cast their ballots due to internet connectivity issues.  This led to confusion and delays at polling stations across the state.  The issue arose when the internet went down at several polling locations, preventing voters from accessing the necessary information to complete their ballots.  As a result, many voters were turned away or told to come back later once the issue had been resolved.  This caused frustration and confusion among those trying to exercise their democratic right to vote.

Are Democrats Toying With the Idea of Not Certifying a Trump Win?  I don't know why this surprises me at this point but it does.  The Democrats who spent four years complaining about constitutional norms and Jan. 6 now seem to by toying with the idea that if Trump wins the 2024 election, they can refuse to certify the vote.  Attorney Jason Murray, who argued Colorado's case to keep Trump off the ballot thinks there could be a constitutional crisis in our future. [...] In the Colorado case, the court clearly didn't like the idea that a state could throw a candidate off the ballot on its own initiative.  Instead the Justices left this call to Congress.  But that means, in theory, an incoming Democratic Congress could vote to decide Trump is ineligible under the 14th amendment.  They could effectively overrule the decision of the voters which would surely create a whole new level of chaos.

The Atlantic:  Without Guidance From SCOTUS, House Democrats Might Not Certify the Election if Trump Wins.  The liberal journal The Atlantic is reporting that unless they receive "guidance" from the U.S. Supreme Court, House Democrats might not certify the 2024 election if Trump wins.  Isn't this the entire basis for the Democrat/Media freakout over January 6th?  Isn't this why so many Trump supporters are currently suffering in prison?  Aren't these the same Democrats who have been shrieking about the importance of 'our democracy' for years now?  It really looks as though their whole political philosophy boils down to nothing mattering unless they win.  [Tweet]

Majority of US Voters Believe Cheating Will Affect Outcome of 2024 Election.  A majority of US voters believe cheating will affect the outcome of the 2024 election.  That number includes 52% of all voters, 74%, or three-fourths of Republican voters, and only 32% of Democrat voters.  Even one-third of Democrat voters believe the fraud will affect the 2024 election!  A year ago the number who expected chearting to affect the upcoming election was 54% so it has come down only slightly over the past year.

Censorship expert Mike Benz says 2020 election RIG for Biden was planned at least seven months ahead of time.  The Pentagon led a massive censorship campaign to stop Donald Trump from winning the 2020 presidential election, explained censorship expert Mike Benz on a recent episode of "Tucker on X," the social media program of Tucker Carlson.  The election had already been rigged, Benz added, a full seven months prior to election day, meaning the outcome had already been pre-determined for a Joe Biden "win."  "So, what you're saying is ... they knew the outcome of the election seven months before it was held?" Carlson asked Benz.  "It looks very bad," Benz responded.

New York Dems [were] dealt [a] massive blow when [an] appeals court [struck] down [a] law allowing non-citizens to vote.  A law that New York City progressives passed in 2022 that would have allowed roughly 800,000 non-citizens to vote in local elections was struck down by an appeals court as unconstitutional on Wednesday.  "We determine that this local law was enacted in violation of the New York State Constitution and Municipal Home Rule Law, and thus, must be declared null and void," Appellate Judge Paul Wooten wrote in the 3-1 majority decision, according to the New York Post.  The judge noted that the state constitution applies only to citizens having the right to vote in municipal as well as statewide elections for state legislative offices.

Georgia election officials withheld evidence in voting machine breach, group alleges.  AGeorgia-based nonprofit that is suing the Coffee County, Georgia Board of Elections over an alleged breach of voting software weeks before President Joe Biden was sworn into office is asking a judge to sanction officials involved in the case, saying in new court filings that they repeatedly stonewalled and withheld crucial evidence during discovery.  In a 274-page filing submitted Tuesday, the group claims that Coffee County election officials withheld emails outlining what they knew about the alleged breach, relevant communications between the board and a lawyer associated with "Stop the Steal" legal efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, and security camera footage of forensic experts visiting the Coffee County office where voting software was copied.

Report: 186 Now-Removed Arizona Voter Roll Names Were Foreign Nationals.  Arizona removed nearly 200 residents from its voter rolls after discovering they were foreign nationals, and therefore ineligible to vote, a new report revealed.  Published on Tuesday, the analysis by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) found that 186 noncitizens residing in Pima County have been "involuntarily purged" from the Grand Canyon State's voter registration lists since 2021.  According to the report, seven of these 186 foreigners appear to have cast ballots "across two federal and local elections."  Records reviewed by PILF included more detailed information, such as the party affiliation of the aforementioned noncitizens.  The analysis indicated 108 did not have a party affiliation, while 46 were registered as Democrats and 28 as Republicans.  Three were registered independents and one was a Libertarian.  "Roughly 65 percent of records came from 'political parties and group drives,'" the report reads.  "Although conclusions in other studies established that organizers of voter registration drives can be left leaning, the party affiliations of the registrants within the Pima disclosure are more varied."

Bill would allow 'unhoused' to register to vote without physical address on application.  The chair of the Minnesota House Elections Committee introduced a bill this week that would give people without an official residence wider latitude to register to vote.  One of several provisions in HF3557, sponsored by Rep. Mike Freiberg, DFL-Golden Valley, would allow people filling out a voter registration application to write down a "physical description of the location of their residence, if the voter resides in an area lacking a specific physical address."  Freiberg told members of the House Elections Finance and Policy Committee on Wednesday that "providing a physical description of where a voter resides is currently permitted on the federal (voting) registration application, and this change makes this clear on Minnesota's form."  It would apply only in instances where a residence lacks a traditional street address.  Freiberg cited some instances where tribal nations have residents who live in homes that have no physical address, along with people who are residents of Minnesota but do not have a specific address where they reside due to being "unhoused."

Appeals Court Upholds Ruling Striking Down NYC Voting Rights for Foreigners.  A New York appeals court upheld a prior ruling that struck down a New York City law giving local voting rights to nearly a million foreign nationals.  As Breitbart News chronicled, Democrats on the 51-member New York City Council approved a plan in January 2022 that gave more than 800,000 foreign nationals with green cards, visas, and work permits the opportunity to vote in citywide elections so long as they have resided in the city for at least 30 consecutive days.  Black New Yorkers, along with naturalized American citizens, the New York State Republican Party, the Republican National Committee (RNC), and Democrat officials like Councilman Robert Holden subsequently sued Mayor Eric Adams (D) and the city's Board of Elections.

Court: D.C. Must Fork Over Data About 'Deceased' People On Voter Rolls From Leftist-Linked 'Maintenance' Group.  In the latest win for election integrity advocates, Washington, D.C. agreed to forfeit data related to the leftist-linked voter roll "maintenance" group known as ERIC, according to a stipulated court order released on Tuesday.  Judge Ana Reyes of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia oversaw the settlement that determined that Monica Holman Evans, the executive director of the D.C. Board of Elections (DCBOE), must forfeit data reports that ERIC generates about deceased or potentially deceased individuals on D.C.'s voter registration lists to the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF).  As The Federalist has previously reported, the Electronic Registration Information Center, or ERIC, is a widely used voter-roll management organization founded by Democrat activist David Becker that was "sold to states as a quick and easy way to update their voter rolls."  In actuality, the program inflates voter rolls by requiring member states to contact eligible but unregistered residents to register to vote.

The Theory That Mail-in Voting Is Secure Just Died a Horrible Death.  Something screwy happened in the Nevada primary, and it utterly destroys the claim that the 2020 election was the most fair and secure in history.  Because of the COVID pandemic, a whopping 43% of the votes cast in the 2020 election were mail-in ballots.  Many governors unilaterally (and illegally) changed election laws to make this happen, and anyone who challenged the safety and security of mail-in voting was deemed a conspiracy theorist.  We've covered the problems of mail-in voting in the past, and it seems things haven't improved.  Now, Nevada residents are learning that they voted in the state primary  — even though they didn't.  "After numerous Nevada voters saw irregularities in their voter history on Sunday, the secretary of state's office said it has identified the issues and is fixing them, according to a statement Monday evening," the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported this week.  "The office learned Sunday there were possible technical issues relating to Nevadans' voting history for people who did not participate in the Feb. 6 presidential primary.  It said elections and IT staff began working immediately with county clerks and registrars Monday morning."

Nevada Launches Investigation After Residents Told Their Ballot Had Been Counted When They Hadn't Voted.  The Nevada Secretary of State's Office launched an investigation after some residents were told that their votes had been counted in the recent primary election despite the fact that they had not voted.  After local outlets reported the news on Sunday, state officials looked into the issue and said that it had been caused by a "technical" problem and that the irregularities had to do with how county data was uploaded to a state database.  "The issue was as follows: on a nightly basis, each county uploads their voter registration data to the Secretary of State's database, which executes code to create the single statewide voter registration file that users see when they log into vote.nv.gov.  The legacy systems used by a number of the counties require additional steps be taken to ensure that voters who did not return their ballot do not have vote history; some of those steps were not taken, which resulted in inaccurate data," a statement from the office of Democrat Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar said on Monday.  Aguilar's office said that all the data in the system should be correct within two days.

Nevada's Democrat Secretary of State Pulls a Fast One.  A so-called glitch on the Nevada Secretary of State's website caused unmailed ballots to show up as counted in the recent Nevada primary.  The Nevada Secretary of State's office (run by Democrat Francisco Aguilar) on Sunday learned of the 'glitch' after numerous Nevada voters realized their votes were counted in the recent primary even though they didn't participate.  The SoS office "determined that the problem resulted in some counties not taking the proper steps to upload their voter registration.  Every night each county uploads their voter registration to the secretary of state's database, which executes code to create the statewide voter registration file that Nevadans see when they log into vote.nv.gov, according to the secretary of state's office." — The Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.

Government-Backed Censors Who Rigged The 2020 Election Are Now Stealing 2024.  If you didn't see Tucker Carlson's interview last week with Mike Benz, you need to take an hour and watch the whole thing.  In a mind-bending narrative about the emergence of what Benz calls "military rule" through an online censorship industry in the U.S., he lays out in startling detail just how corrupt and tyrannical the U.S. defense and foreign policy establishment has become.  Most importantly, Benz, the executive director of the Foundation For Freedom Online, explains how a constellation of federal agencies and publicly funded institutions, under the pretext of countering "misinformation," rigged the 2020 election and are right now smothering the First Amendment and rigging the 2024 election through massive state-sponsored censorship online.  The 2020 election and the Covid-19 pandemic, says Benz, were the "two most censored events in human history."  And 2024 is shaping up to be the same, thanks to the emergence of a federal censorship-industrial complex.

The Military Junta Called "The Democracy".  On Saturday night I watched Tucker Carlson's interview with Michael Benz, the link sent to me by a reader, and found out that I have, like many others, been a warrior against a military junta that has taken over our government. [...] When these compromised politicians speak of "the democracy" they are speaking of this cabal who through manipulation of social media are able to inspire or put down color revolutions in any nation in the world and after 2016, Trump's election, they began to utilize those same means of overthrowing governments here in the United States and have effectively altered the outcome of elections, both here and abroad.  A lot of people had to know of this cabal or be threatened by it in order for NONE of the evidence of election interference to be heard in court, or given any credibility.

Who Really Won the 2020 Election?  Impartial elections are absolutely essential to a cohesive and fruitful society.  Historically, Americans have generally trusted that national elections have been free, fair, and secure, as well as bereft of widespread fraud.  For generations, the majority of Americans have trusted that the electoral results delivered to the public were an accurate reflection of the will of the people.  However, this time-honored tradition changed after the 2020 election.  In the wake of the COVID-19 global pandemic, dozens of states significantly altered their voting processes.  In many cases, these changes occurred imprudently, without serious consideration of their potentially adverse effects and without the consent of the people's elected representatives in state legislatures.  These abrupt and hasty changes to voting procedures in the months before the 2020 election occurred despite the fact that ample evidence showed that mass mail-in voting, unsecure ballot drop boxes, ballot harvesting, and lack of signature verification would result in a flood of fraudulent ballots that would undermine the accuracy of the election results. [...] After analyzing the raw survey data, we were also able to conclude that 28.2 percent of respondents who voted by mail admitted to committing at least one kind of voter fraud.  This means that more than one-in-four ballots cast by mail in 2020 were likely cast fraudulently, and thus should not have been counted.  Because Joe Biden received significantly more mailin votes than Donald Trump, we conclude that the 2020 election outcome would have been different in the key swing states that Donald Trump lost by razor thin margins in 2020 — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — under the 28.2 percent scenario.

Non-Citizens Have Been Voting Since 2008.  Why would a president running for reelection refuse to meet with the Speaker of the House to discuss a national crisis that most voters blame on the president himself?  This would be regarded as bizarre behavior under any circumstances, but it's particularly perverse considering that the crisis in question is illegal immigration — the signature issue of Biden's probable challenger in November.  Moreover, according to the RealClearPolitics polling average, 63 percent of the voters disapprove of the way he has handled immigration.  Yet Biden refuses to discuss the problem.  It's almost as if he thinks it somehow works to his advantage.

San Francisco Admits First Non-citizen to Elections Board.  San Francisco has appointed a non-citizen to its elections commission for the first time, even though she cannot vote. [...] As Breitbart News has noted, non-citizens are allowed to vote in San Francisco in school board elections.  It is not clear how firm the separation is between those registered to vote for school board elections and those registered to vote for all other elections.  Democrat-run jurisdictions have attempted to expand voting rights to non-citizens, hoping to capitalize on the large number of immigrants — legal and illegal — that have entered the country thanks to loose Democratic Party border policies.

6-in-7 Voters Say Only Americans Should Vote in U.S. Elections.  The overwhelming majority of general election voters say only American citizens should be allowed to vote in United States elections, a new poll exclusively shared with Breitbart News finds.  "We are just months away from one of the most important elections in our lifetime, and the security of those elections is under siege from an invasion of foreigners crossing our borders illegally," Tea Party Patriots' Jenny Beth Martin told Breitbart News.  "Some of them could ultimately vote in our elections with few barriers stopping them."

Investigators Visit Graves of Dead Voters Still on Michigan Rolls.  Investigators with the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) visited the graves of Americans who have long passed away but remain on Michigan's voter rolls heading into the 2024 election.  In November 2021, PILF filed suit against Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson (D) accusing her of keeping nearly 26,000 dead registrants on Michigan voter rolls and thus violating the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).  The lawsuit claims 25,975 dead registrants remain on Michigan's voter rolls, including 23,663 registrants who have been dead for five years or more, 17,479 registrants who have been dead for at least a decade, and 3,956 registrants who have been dead for at least 20 years.

Atlantic City Ballot-Stuffer Reportedly Worked for the Feds.  Last week, The Gateway Pundit reported on Craig Callaway's recent indictment in Atlantic City, NJ for "procuring, casting, and tabulating fraudulent ballots."  The former Atlantic City council president was caught allegedly paying New Jersey residents $30 to $50 to "act as authorized messengers and request mail-in ballots for voters whom they'd never met."  The alleged crime took place during the 2022 mid-term election when Callaway was paid $65,500 by Rep. Jeff Van Drew's (R-02) campaign for "strategic consulting".  Rep. Van Drew had paid Callaway's firm $110,000 for services in the 2020 campaign as well. [...] Last week, Jesse Watters reported on the story of Callaway and his operation. [...] Then, Watters dropped a bomb.  According to Watters, Callaway has been working for the FBI for 25 years.

Drake, 50 Cent, other Recording Artists are Registered to Vote with Same Houston-Area Address.  Katy is a city west of Houston, in the Houston metro area.  Katy's population at the time of the 2020 census was 21,894.  The point is that it is a small city, most often thought of as a suburb of Houston.  There is a story out today that recording artists Drake, 50 Cent, Chris Brown, Trey Songz, and The Game are all registered to vote with the same address in Katy.  The house is described as "a beige, $300,000 house in a modest new development in Katy."  The homeowner had no idea why the men were registered to vote at that address.  Neighbors said they had not seen the performers.  It's a prank that uses a federal loophole in voter ID laws.

Georgia Specialist Finds Thousands of Illegal Votes in 2020, 2021, and 2022.  An expert in election data asserts that almost 35,000 Georgia voters in 2020 cast ballots from the wrong jurisdictions, but Georgia's top election official hasn't responded to his request for an investigation.  Mark Davis, president of Georgia-based Data Productions Inc., has pushed for Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger's office to investigate his data since May 2021. Davis says he inquired again earlier this month after finding evidence of the same problems in Georgia's 2021 and 2022 elections.  "The same thing is going to happen again in 2024," Davis, who earlier this year scored a legal victory over the Stacey Abrams-founded group Fair Fight Action — told The Daily Signal.  "I first brought this up to the State Elections Board in 2002.  You can't fix a problem if you don't admit you have a problem."  "The secretary of state doesn't want to address this because it happened on his watch," he said of Raffensperger.  "I don't know why he's being like that.  It's happened on everyone's watch."

Time for Consequences.  [Scroll down]  As Time magazine reported shortly after the 2020 election, a "cabal" — Time's word — of "left-wing activists and business titans" worked to get rid of Trump.  It pushed mail-in voting.  It moved to block election fraud suits brought by Trump and supporters.  It employed social media censorship to mute pro-Trump arguments and amplify anti-Trump arguments.  It sponsored protests.  Time called this a "conspiracy to save the election," but in truth it was a conspiracy to save the election for the Democrats.  The consequences in terms of lost faith in democracy have been severe, but the worst effect is that the winning ticket was never seriously vetted by the media or the campaign process.  Now we have that president in office, and he's manifestly unfit. [...] Now we're in a pickle.  Whatever happens in this election, I would like to see some consequences for the games played with our democracy in 2020.

Mail-In Ballot Fraud Study Finds Trump 'Almost Certainly' Won in 2020.  A new study examining the likely impact that fraudulent mail-in ballots had in the 2020 election concludes that the outcome would "almost certainly" have been different without the massive expansion of voting by mail.  The Heartland Institute study tried to gauge the probable impact that fraudulent mail-in ballots cast for both then-candidate Joe Biden and his opponent, President Donald Trump, would have had on the overall 2020 election results.  The study was based on data obtained from a Heartland/Rasmussen survey in December that revealed that roughly one in five mail-in voters admitted to potentially fraudulent actions in the presidential election.  After the researchers carried out additional analyses of the data, they concluded that mail-in ballot fraud "significantly" impacted the 2020 presidential election.  They also found that, absent the huge expansion of mail-in ballots during the pandemic, which was often done without legislative approval, President Trump would most likely have won.

The Coming 2024 Leftist Election Grift.  With so many election integrity groups and concerned citizens watching this time around, what will the Democrats do to tilt the results in their favor?  They have quite a few arrows in their quiver, but virtually every trick relies on one thing:  dirty voter rolls.  Voter rolls filled with unqualified voters — for instance, voters without a valid address or with an insufficient or incorrect address — are ready-made for fraud.  A mailed ballot may go out to that person, but if the address is wrong or incorrect, the ballot will not reach the voter.  These "floating ballots" are often gathered and cast as votes illegitimately.  These practices, along with many others, are widely practiced around the country.  Election integrity groups all over America are fighting to clean voter rolls, state-by-state and town-by-town.

Indiana County Probing Democrat Vote Fraud after Finding 100s of Fake Signatures.  Indiana officials are investigating multiple cases of voter fraud after a county clerk's office discovered what appear to be hundreds of fraudulent signatures and addresses on petition papers last month, according to The Federalist.  The Indiana State Police said this week they had launched an investigation after St. Joseph County Clerk Amy Rolfes alerted them to the discrepancies, which she said pointed to a potential petition forgery plot.  The forgeries reportedly came from a volunteer for Democratic presidential candidate Dean Phillips's campaign.  On Jan. 25, the volunteer attempted to turn in approximately 80 petition documents to help get Phillips on the state's ballot.  But the petitions were rejected because they lacked key information.  The next day, the volunteer returned with 53 completed pages.

Mollie Hemingway Breaks Down Everything Wrong With U.S. Elections From Mail-In Ballots To Zuckbucks To Censorship.  Mail-in ballots, the private takeover of elections with "Zuckerbucks," Big Tech censorship, and Democrat meddling are the biggest ways "the American system of self-governance is under attack," Federalist Editor-In-Chief and bestselling author Mollie Hemingway warned in her testimony to the House Administration Committee.  "We have allowed the private takeover of government election offices by partisan oligarchs and their armies of activists who use those offices and their authorities to tilt the election toward favored candidates," she said.  During her opening statement on Wednesday, Hemingway diagnosed the deterioration of U.S. elections and Americans' trust in the voting process as the result of "lengthy election seasons."  "The situation is so absurd that we have presidential and gubernatorial debates weeks after some people have already voted," Hemingway noted.  Mail-in voting specifically, Hemingway said, forces the crux of voting to begin months before Election Day.

Conservative Writer Mollie Hemingway Tells Congress What's Wrong With Our Elections.  Mollie Hemingway of The Federalist testified before Congress this week, offering what she sees as the biggest problems with elections in America.  She emphasized the system of balloting, the extended time periods for voting, the efforts of Democrats to prosecute the competition, our one-sided media, and more, comparing our current elections to what happened in the former Soviet Union.  At the end of her testimony, she called out Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook for their election interference.  [Tweet with video clip]

Conspiracy Theory Proven True:  Illegal Aliens Claim They'll Be Voting For Joe Biden.  [Video clip only.]

Mail-in voter fraud and the 2020 election.  Our story begins in the months leading up to the 2020 election, when several states, including all the critical swing states, changed their voting rules under the pretext that traditional in-person voting was dangerous due to the pandemic.  Rather than having most people vote in-person, which is the most safe and secure method to cast a ballot, dozens of state officials usurped the power of state legislatures and implemented unprecedented (and unconstitutional) measures to encourage mass voting by mail.  These dubious changes to state voting procedures resulted in a record-breaking number of ballots cast by mail in the 2020 election.  At the same time, the percentage of mail-in ballots that were rejected by state officials was far below the historical average.  It just so happens that Joe Biden received a far greater share of the record-high mail-in votes in the 2020 election.  In fact, at the national level, Biden received nearly twice as many mail-in votes compared to Trump.

FOIA'd Emails Reveal MI AG Nessel Personally Visited Detroit USPS Distribution Center Day Before 2020 Election.  According to FOIA'd emails, on Monday, November 2, 2020, only one day before a critically important presidential election, Michigan's Democrat Attorney General was busy investigating a claim by a USPS whistleblower who worked at the Detroit USPS distribution center.  FOIA'd emails obtained by independent investigator Yehuda Miller and shared on Twitter, reveal a postal worker, who asked to remain anonymous, first told MI Rep. Ellissa Slotkin's office that "thousands of ballots are sitting in the main Detroit postal service distribution center (references their warehouse)."  The whistleblower mentioned that "there are boxes and boxes of ballots that have not been counted and the reason being given is because there are not enough sorters."  The whistleblower complaint was forwarded to MI AG Nessel's Chief of Staff, Zaineb Hussein.

Why Are Republicans Advancing A Bill That Lets Outsiders Buy A South Dakota Address And Use It To Vote?  With the help of Republican lawmakers, South Dakota Secretary of State Monae Johnson has brought a handful of election-related bills to the 2024 legislative session, all to the ire of her campaign supporters.  At her request, lawmakers have presented bills to share the statewide voter registration file, establish the crime of threatening a poll worker, and recently SB 17, which modifies the state's recently-enacted law requiring new South Dakota voters to have resided in the state for at least 30 days.  As currently amended, this bill would essentially open the door to anyone living anywhere to vote in South Dakota elections. [...] Now the bill, in its current form as amended by the Republican-controlled Senate, would abandon the 30-day residency protections entirely and do away with current residency law that defines a residence as "an actual fixed permanent dwelling."  Such a change would allow practically anyone to buy a South Dakota mailing address and use it to vote.

Former President of City Council of Atlantic City Charged with Submitting Fraudulent Mail-In Ballots.  An Atlantic County, New Jersey, man was arrested today [2/1/2024] for his role in procuring, casting, and tabulating fraudulent mail-in ballots submitted in the Nov. 8, 2022, general election, U.S. Attorney Philip R. Sellinger announced.  Craig Callaway, 64, a former member and president of the City Council of Atlantic City and a political organizer who assisted campaigns for elected offices in New Jersey, is charged in a criminal complaint unsealed today with one count of depriving, defrauding, and attempting to deprive and defraud the residents of the state of New Jersey of a fair and impartially conducted election process by the fraudulent procurement, casting, and tabulation of ballots.

Trump or Bust.  In nine months, America will be holding an election for the ages.  Yeah, I know everyone says that about every election, but the stakes for November 2024 could not be higher.  This assumes we will have an actual election. [...] Remember how a few districts in key swing states, in an unprecedented manner, shut down vote-counting on election night with Donald Trump holding a comfortable lead over Joe Biden?  They covered windows, removed observers, and shazam, by morning Biden had the lead in each of those swing states.  But that margin was only 44,000 votes, manageable with phony ballots, recounting votes, or just fiddling with the vote counts.  With Trump holding a 2 point lead, and likely growing, over Biden in the RCP average poll, that margin may beyond simple cheating.

Have We had Honest or Dishonest Elections?  There are two radically different viewpoints about what happened in 2020.  Which is the primary explanation?  Let's briefly outline each:  Position #1:  Some intelligent people have told me that they believe that the Dems won in 2020 honestly, because: a) they had better messaging, b) they did a better job at getting out the vote, c) they had a better candidate, etc.  Position #2:  My view (after 3+ years of intensive immersion into the election issue) is that the Dems won dishonestly, e.g. due to: a) voter fraud, b) voting machine manipulation, c) ballot processing incompetence, d) State officials unilaterally changing voting rules (using COVID as an excuse), e) illegal government support of political messaging, f) manipulation of search engine queries (e.g., Google), g) media's intensive misinformation campaign, h) NGO influence (e.g., Zuckerbucks), etc.  Which position is correct is not an academic matter, as it has a HUGE bearing on what should be done in advance, to avoid a 2020/2022 repeat in 2024.  Those who waste time, effort, and money on the wrong answer are inadvertently perpetuating the problem.

The Fingerprints of Fraud.  The General election of 2020 was perhaps the most contentious election in our country's history.  It was certainly the most contested and displayed the most concerning irregularities.  Since the election, many researchers, election experts, and concerned citizens have performed an unprecedented evaluation of the election procedures and data.  Many have found hard evidence of manipulation and fraud at the state, county, and local levels.  To date, the judicial systems of those locales have been unwilling or unable to give a fair hearing to the findings, leaving our country in a divided condition where a majority of the population no longer trusts the election system.

US 2020 Election Fraud at a Glance.  The US 2020 Presidential Election counted a record-breaking 158 million votes, 22 million higher than the previous election, and yet was decided by only 42,918 votes or 0.027% across Arizona, Georgia and Wisconsin.  In the days and weeks following, many dozens of anomalies, eyewitness accounts and sworn testimonies emerged showing election tampering, yet were overlooked or minimized by mainstream media and news outlets.  In spite of increasing evidence, officials in many key states have obstructed open and transparent audits of the results.  Was the election fair and legitimate?  Decide for yourself.  [Video clip]

Summary of Election Fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election in the Swing States.  It has often been repeated there is "no evidence" of fraud in the 2020 Election.  In actuality, there is no evidence Joe Biden won.  Ongoing investigations in the Swing States reveal hundreds of thousands of votes were altered and/or not lawfully cast in the Presidential Election.  Joe Biden needed them.  On Election Night Nov. 3, 2020, President Donald J. Trump was sailing to reelection with landslide leads in numerous battlegrounds.  In Georgia, President Trump was up by 12 points, and over 335,000 votes, with 56 percent of the vote in at 10:17 p.m.  In Wisconsin, President Trump was leading by 121,380 votes and 5 points at 12:12 a.m., which Fox News anchor Bret Baier noted was "not a small margin."  In Pennsylvania, President Trump was leading by 659,145 votes at 12:38 a.m., a full 15 points.  In Michigan, President Trump was leading by 293,052 votes and 10 points.  The election was over.  However, precincts in Atlanta, Detroit, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and Milwaukee kept counting until the results reached the desired outcome, which was the opposite of the will of the voters.  Georgia went from having a total of 4.7 million votes, already a record for the state, according to Brad Raffensperger's count on Nov. 4, to certifying almost 5 million.  This was 300,000 more votes than what the top elections official claimed were cast in the Election.

New Peer-Reviewed Research Finds Evidence of 2020 Voter Fraud.  By a margin of 52% to 40%, voters believe that "cheating affected the outcome of the 2020 U.S. presidential election."  That's per a Rasmussen Reports survey from this month.  This stands in stark contrast to the countless news stories editorializing about "no evidence of voter fraud" and "the myth of voter fraud."  It isn't just Republicans who believe this cheating occurred.  Even 34% of Democrats believe it, as do 38% of those who "somewhat" support President Biden.  A broad range of Americans think this:  men, women, all age groups, whites, those who are neither white nor black, Republicans, those who are neither Republicans nor Democrats, all job categories, all income groups except those making over $200,000 per year, and all education groups except those who attended graduate school.  And with good reason.  New research of mine is forthcoming in the peer-reviewed economics journal Public Choice, and it finds evidence of around 255,000 excess votes (possibly as many as 368,000) for Joe Biden in six swing states where Donald Trump lodged accusations of fraud.  Biden only carried these states — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — by a total of 313,253 votes.  Excluding Michigan, the gap was 159,065.

Massive 2020 Voter Fraud Uncovered in Michigan.  On October 8, 2020[,] only one month before the 2020 general election, Muskegon, MI City Clerk Ann Meisch noticed a black female (whose name was redacted from the police report), dropping off between 8,000-10,000 completed voter registration applications at the city clerk's office.  The Muskegon Police Department was contacted and asked to investigate.  On 10/21/20 First Lieutenant Mike Anderson was contacted by Tom Fabus, Chief of Investigations for Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel's Office.  According to the MI State Police report, Mr. Fabus asked for Michigan State Police assistance with a joint investigation of alleged voter fraud being conducted by the Muskegon Police Department and the AG.  An investigative task force was formed, and an investigation was initiated. [...] The Muskegon city clerk became suspicious when the female, (whose name is redacted in the first part of the police report, but then later, is unredacted), hand-delivered thousands of voter registrations to her office, many of them in the same handwriting.

Arizona Election Law May Enable Non-Citizens To Vote In 2024 Presidential Election, Experts Warn.  One of the most important states in the 2024 presidential election has a loophole in its election procedures that could allow non-citizens to cast federal election ballots, experts told the Daily Caller.  Democratic Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes crafted the state's Election Procedures Manual (EPM) to permit individuals whose citizenship cannot be verified to register as a "federal-only" voter and cast ballots in upcoming elections.  "An otherwise eligible registrant who does not submit DPOC (proof of citizenship) and whose U.S. citizenship cannot be verified via AZMVD records or other record in the statewide voter registration database is registered as a 'federal-only' voter.  A 'federal-only' voter is eligible to vote solely in races for federal office in Arizona (including the Presidential Preference Election (PPE))," the EPM says on page three of its first chapter.  Hans von Spakovsky, a senior legal fellow at the conservative Heritage Foundation, told the Daily Caller he believes Arizona's two-tiered voter registration system could enable illegal migrants to vote in the upcoming elections.  "I think it's absolutely a possibility because if you aren't requiring proof of citizenship, you're simply going on people's word that oh yeah I'm a U.S. citizen, you're going to get aliens who register and who vote," von Spakovsky told the Caller.

FOIA Documents Reveal Government Officials [were] Notified of Election Fraud in Michigan Following Election Day in 2020.  In July 2023, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel (D-MI) charged 16 Republican Electors with political crimes in connection with the controversial 2020 Presidential election.  The ALTERNATE electors in Michigan, many of them senior citizens, were charged with eight felonies each, which could mean spending the rest of their lives in prison if AG Nessel has her way. [...] During her staged press release where she announced the bogus charges against the 16 GOP electors, Michigan's politically motivated Attorney General Dana Nessel stated the electors were GUILTY, which is a curious statement to make from Michigan's top law enforcement officer, knowing the electors haven't even had their day in court!  Make no mistake, this is a political persecution, not a prosecution.

Biden Pushes Inmate Voting With Help From Interest Groups.  A federal agency is working with left-of-center nonprofits to increase voting among prisoners and former prison inmates under an executive order from President Joe Biden designed to increase election turnout.  The Federal Bureau of Prisons has partnered with and regularly consults on voting issues with the League of Women Voters, the American Civil Liberties Union, the Campaign Legal Center, and the Washington Lawyers' Committee.  Emery Nelson, spokesperson for the Federal Bureau of Prisons, which is part of the Justice Department, confirmed the arrangement to The Daily Signal.

The Death of Citizenship.  As non-citizens are increasingly being granted the right to vote and after the blatant unconstitutional voting law changes and ballot manipulations which eventuated in the Democrat Party winning the 2020 presidential election, no longer can the citizenry rely on open and honest elections to choose their representatives.  Millions of mail-in ballots with no security controls were indiscriminately distributed and unaccounted for throughout the length and breadth of the country, millions of ballots were illegally "harvested" by paid campaign workers, and hundreds of thousands of ballots were feloniously "stuffed" into innumerable drop-off boxes.  The denials of election fraud and subsequent cover-ups by the media and the ruling class ring hollow and insincere as they, in essence, have told American citizens that the fundamental right to choose their representatives is no more as they have little or no say in who is chosen to run or how their leaders are elected.

Eight Ways Chris Wray and Bill Barr Destroyed Free and Fair Elections in America.  [#1] The massive ballot registration fraud by GBI Strategies — a Democrat-funded operation — in Michigan and every battleground state.  Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, in August 2023, CONFIRMED that 8,000 to 10,000 suspected fraudulent ballot registrations were delivered to the Muskegon, Michigan, City Clerk prior to the 2020 election.  The Gateway Pundit and our contacts in Michigan released the original report earlier in the week.  This report and investigation was buried for three years.  Our reporting was based on a redacted police report describing how Muskegon City Clerk Meisch encountered a woman dropping off 8,000 [to] 10,000 completed voter registration applications.  Meisch found this unusual since the voting population in Muskegon at the time was around 30,000 individuals so she immediately reported this to authorities.  The Gateway Pundit reported that the "registrations included the same handwriting, non-existent addresses, and incorrect phone numbers."

If... Then... 2024.  The 2020 election really was outright stolen.  Mr. Biden really is illegitimate.  In the seven purple states, tactics were used to disenfranchise legal votes.  At about 11:30 P.M., it was the well thought out and orchestrated strategy all along to stop the counting of votes so that criminal voting measures could be used hours later while law-abiding Americans slept.  Major Democrats and Republicans knew of the stolen election and did nothing about it.  The Deep State in D.C. is fine and feels morally superior to the "rubes" outside the Beltway, and thus they feel confident that the election had to be stolen.  The Deep State feels morally justified in helping to steal the 2020 election.

Democracy dies in adulterated voter rolls.  If one person can simply grab 10,000 mail in ballots, fill them out by machine, and drop them in mailboxes, that's not democracy, that's fraud.  If people who are not US citizens are eligible to vote, that too is fraud.  This seems a pretty uncontroversial set of ideas, but the obviousness and ethics of such seem to stand increasingly in opposition to the actual black letter law.  Consider Arizona, whose bizarre two tier voter registration provides a poignant example.  In order to vote in state or local elections, you must submit "valid proof of citizenship" which includes several options like passports and birth certificates or an AZ driver's license (which requires same to get it). However, astonishingly, no such stricture applies to federal elections. you can register to vote for the house, the senate, the president by simply filling out a form (link conveniently provided) that has no verification requirements whatsoever.  It's the electoral equivalent of a liar loan.

Bridgeport Democrat Mayor Wins Race After His Associate Is Caught Stuffing the Local Ballot Drop Boxes with Bags of Ballots.  Mayor Joe Ganim won another victory on Tuesday in the Bridgeport, Connecticut special election for the Democratic primary for mayor.  Ganim quickly claimed victory after winning the in-person tally by 274 votes.  In November a local judge overturned the initial primary election after Wanda Geter-Pataky, the Vice Chairwoman of the Democratic Town Clerk and a vocal supporter of incumbent Mayor Joe Ganim, was caught on video stuffing the ballot drop boxes with dozens if not hundreds of absentee ballots.  So Mayor Ganim won again on Tuesday against John Gomes in the Democrat primary. [...] Superior Court Judge William Clark ordered a new election to be held, citing bombshell video evidence of election fraud as the basis for his decision.  The ruling has far-reaching implications, not just for Bridgeport but for the entire country, as it sets a precedent for ongoing and future cases involving mail-in ballot fraud.

Tell Us You Stole The Election Without Telling Us You Stole The Election.  Benny Johnson asks:  WHEN in American election history have all 5 swing states simultaneously stopped counting ballots on election night?  Is there any explanation for this other than centrally organized fraud?  [Video clip]

Bowes: Evidence Mounts Georgia Elections Stolen And Officials Corrupt.  [#1] Fulton County admitted that they conducted zero signature verification on 380,000 absentee ballots in 2020.  This affects all State and Federal races.  None of those absentee ballots are legal.  The Presidency and the U.S. Senate were stolen because of this violation of law.  This stunning admission was in the Harrison Floyd defense hearing where Fulton County has been ordered to turn over 470,000 absentee ballot request, every signature file, the 380,000 returned absenette ballots, the 140,000 in person ballots, every memroy card, every chain of custody document, every tabulator, every memory card/USB.  [#2] In the Curling v. Raffensperger civil Federal trial, liberal professor Alex Halderman demonstrated in court how easy it is to hack and change votes in the Dominion and other voting computer tabulators.  Judge Amy Totenberg has already determined that Georgia voters were the victim of vote nullification related to the ballot marking devices / QR codes, but this explosive new demonstration shows that every part of the voting computer system from BMD, to e-poll books, to tabulators, to Election Management System is vulnerable to easy hacking.

Texas AG Ken Paxton Explains How Democrats Stole the 2020 Election.  In September 2023 Tucker Carlson sat down with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.  This was after the liberals like Karl Rove attempted to remove Paxton from office and turn the Lone Star State over to the Democrat horde and their election fraud operation.  Thankfully, Ken Paxton had just been acquitted of wrongdoing following a Senate trial on all Articles of Impeachment.  Texas RINOs, including Bush and Rove allies, wanted Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton gone so they made up some accusations against him without evidence in an attempt to impeach him.  Attorney General Ken Paxton is the one man who has stood up against the Democrat-Marxist onslaught in the great state of Texas.  Democrats and Secret Sleeper Republicans hate him for this.

"The Reason You Don't See This in the Mainstream Media Is Because It Is Extremely Damaging".  On Friday, in a Federal Court In Atlanta, Georgia, University of Michigan Professor of Computer Science and Engineering J. Alex Halderman testified in front of Judge Amy Totenberg's courtroom in the Culling vs. Raffensperger lawsuit on the insecure Dominion voting machines used in Georgia elections since 2020.  As reported earlier, during his testimony, Halderman was able to hack a Dominion voting machine and change the tabulations in front of U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg and the entire courtroom!  Halderman used only a pen to change vote totals!  His testimony was part of a long-running lawsuit by election integrity activists set as a bench trial.  On Monday Emerald Robinson joined Ivory Hecker on Gateway:  Beyond the Headlines to discuss how you can use a pen change results on a Dominion voting machine as was demonstrated last week in Fulton County court.

Ballots Cast Without Proof Of Citizenship 'Exploded' After Lawfare Crippled Arizona Election Laws.  After Arizona officials signed a consent decree agreeing to let voters who failed to provide proof of U.S. citizenship on their state voter application forms vote in federal elections anyway, Arizona saw an "explosion" of voters casting federal-only ballots.  The soaring numbers coincide with millions of illegal immigrants flooding into the United States.  Twenty years ago, Arizona voters approved Proposition 200, also known as the "Arizona Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act."  At its core, the election integrity initiative required proof of U.S. citizenship to vote and photo identification at polling places.  Prop 200 has come under constant assault from leftists fighting against the Arizona Constitution's key qualification to vote in elections:  U.S. citizenship.  The challenge went all the way to U.S. Supreme Court, where in 2013 the justices ruled 7-2 that states could not add documentary proof of citizenship requirements to federal election registration forms.  States must "accept and use" the standardized federal voter registration form for national elections under the 1993 National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).  The NVRA form, developed by the federal Election Assistance Commission, does not require proof of citizenship.  It only asks that an applicant "aver, under penalty of perjury, that he is a citizen."

That Other Primary in New England Is a Do-Over After Massive Voter Fraud Scandal.  Another New England primary is happening Tuesday, this one outside New Hampshire and between Democrats — and it's a do-over to one that was stained by voter fraud caught on video.  Bridgeport, the largest city in Connecticut, garnered national attention last year after a judge tossed the results of a September mayoral primary because a Democrat operative was caught on video apparently dumping a load of ballots into a drop box.  "I have no confidence the do-over election in Bridgeport will be more legitimate than last time.  The same people are ultimately in charge," Connecticut state Sen. Robert C. Sampson, a Republican, told The Daily Signal.  There is no interest from the Democrat majority in the Legislature to prevent election fraud, Sampson, the ranking senator on the Legislature's joint Government Administration and Elections Committee, said.  "Democrats resist any election integrity efforts," Sampson said last week in an interview. "They voted down amendments to adopt voter ID, for signature verification, and they want to expand mail-in voting and no-excuse absentee voting."

Reckless Negligence or Deliberate Disregard:  Georgia's Election Integrity.  Last week, critical issues surrounding Georgia's voting system came to the surface in the Curling v.  Raffensperger trial in Atlanta.  Dr. J. Alex Halderman, a computer science professor at the University of Michigan, revealed how easily Dominion voting systems could be compromised.  As first reported by Law360, Dr. Halderman demonstrated how a USB drive or a pen could be used to install malware, alter ballots, and enable unauthorized access to Dominion's Ballot Marking Device (BMD) systems, which are used for in-person voting across the state of Georgia.  In his presentation, Halderman used a pen to trigger a Dominion machine's reboot into "safe mode," gaining access to its Android desktop.  [Paywall]

Marlow: The Corporate Media and Big Tech Interfered in the 2020 Election.  Before a single vote was cast, the 2020 election was baked into the cake.  America's political and media establishment were not going to let what happened to them in 2016 happen again.  Don't take my word for it.  TIME Magazine published an article in February of 2021 called "The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election" which describes a vast effort by a network of partisan political operatives, union leaders, and business titans to create a mail ballot "revolution" to oust Trump.  This is, quite literally, a plan hatched by a highly motivated and well-funded few to undermine American democracy as we know it.  Yet, it is not well understood exactly what the American left did and how they pulled it off, and scarier still, how much of it is still legal to this day.  And, oh yes, they are going to use the same playbook again in 2024.

Every Battleground State in 2020 Announced They Were Going to Quit Counting on Election Night, Then Lied and Kept Counting.  On Election night in November 2020 President Trump was soundly defeating Joe Biden.  The election was won by Trump when Americans went to bed.  Then something took place that Americans had never experienced in over 200 years of its existence.  News broke that the battleground states were going to quit counting votes for the night.  This had NEVER taken place in US history.  AMUSE reposted this video compilation on Sunday.  [Video clip]

Arizona Secretary of State Reports "Glitch" That is Currently Flipping Republican Voter Registrations to Independent Ahead of the Republican Primary Election.  That's not a glitch, That's a programing command.  Democrats cheating are so emboldened by all their stolen victories with absolutely noconsequences that they don't even bother to hide it anymore.  "Arizona is a national embarrassment for having the most rigged elections in the country."  [Tweet]

Florida Leads the Way on Fighting Voter Fraud.  The Florida Office of Election Crimes and Security (OECS) was created by Governor Ron DeSantis to receive and investigate election-related complaints.  In most cases, the Office subsequently refers the complaints to appropriate county or state law enforcement entities.  A few days ago (January 15, 2024), the OECS issued its latest annual report.  Left-wing media will tell you that the agency did not find much fraud.  Rather, it spent taxpayer funds to harass and confuse minority voters.  But don't believe it: the findings in the report are serious and disturbing.  In addition to investigations of people who voted when they were not qualified to do so, the Office expanded its quest to third-party voter registration organizations (known as 3PVROs) and to other organizations that have circulated fraudulent petitions, which "have plagued the state for years."  About 1,900 third-party registration organizations operate in the state of Florida.  Those entities operate mostly on the left side of the fence, and often with shady and illegal workers.

Professor and Election Expert J. Halderman Hacks into Dominion Voting Machine Tabulator in Court on Friday in Georgia.  In June 2023, the Federal District Court for the Northern District of Georgia unsealed the 96-page Halderman Report — the Security Analysis of Georgia's ImageCast X Ballot Marking Devices.  Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger had been hiding this report from the public for two years.  University of Michigan Professor of Computer Science and Engineering J. Alex Halderman and Security Researcher and Assistant Professor at Auburn University Drew Sringall collaborated on the report where they discovered many exploitable vulnerabilities in the Dominion Voting Systems' ImageCast X system.  Far-left Judge Amy Totenberg sealed and covered up the results of the investigation of Dominion voting machines in Georgia and sat on the report until this week.

Voter Fraud [is] More Widespread Than Some Think.  The 2020 election involved a criminal voter fraud scheme with mass absentee ballots and phony voter registrations, according to the Justice Department and the New Jersey attorney general.  This verdict and indictment happened in 2023.  Prosecutors in Massachusetts and New York brought election fraud charges in the closing weeks of December.  The Justice Department secured a guilty verdict against a congressional candidate's spouse — Kim Phuong Taylor — from a federal jury in November in Sioux City, Iowa, on 52 counts regarding causing absentee ballots to be fraudulently requested and cast that occurred in two elections.  Kim Taylor's husband, Jeremy Taylor, ran unsuccessfully in the 2020 Republican primary for the U.S. House of Representatives in Iowa's 4th Congressional District, then ran successfully in the general election to be reelected as a Woodbury County supervisor.

Head WEF Nazi Klaus Schwab Says There Will Be No Need For Elections, AI Will Choose For You.  World Economic Forum founder and chairman Klaus Schwab showed his true Nazi colors today at Davos, saying that nations will soon no longer need to bother holding "elections" because voters could easily be replaced by artificial intelligence.  AI is more than capable of choosing a nation's leaders, he said.  Schwab made the bone-chilling comments during a WEF interview with Google co-founder Sergey Brin, which was posted to X by Ezra Levant of Rebel News.  [Video clip]

This shows how little the Ballot Box is respected by Socialist Democrats:
Volinsky's Anti-Israel Org Wants NH Democrats To Write In 'Ceasefire' On Ballots.  President Joe Biden has competition for his 'meaningless' write-in campaign.  Former Executive Councilor Andru Volinsky is asking his fellow Granite State Democrats to skip writing Biden's name on their ballots and instead take part in his anti-Israel write-in campaign called "Ceasefire."  Announced Wednesday with a Zoom press conference, Ceasefire is Volinsky's campaign pushing New Hampshire voters to write in the word "Ceasefire" on their ballots in Tuesday's Democratic presidential primary.

Lawsuit Uncovers How Raffensperger Tried To Memory-Hole The Election Law Trump's Georgia Call Was About.  Election integrity advocates recently had a very important win when a federal district court ruled that challenging the eligibility of thousands of voters in Georgia did not constitute "voter intimidation."  Back in 2020, True the Vote, Derek Somerville and I, and three other activists were all sued by Stacey Abrams' Fair Fight organization for allegedly violating the Prohibited Acts section of the Voting Rights Act.  We had independently organized two different sets of challenges to voters with residency issues ahead of Georgia's 2021 U.S. Senate runoff.  True the Vote's challenges were broader in scope than the challenges Derek and I had coordinated, which were narrowly focused on voters who appeared to have already cast ballots with residency issues in the 2020 general election.  When the judge ruled in favor of all the defendants in the case and found that there had "not been any violation of Section 11(b) of the Voting Rights Act by any of the named Defendants," we got to experience "the thrill of victory," and Fair Fight got to experience "the agony of defeat," which was well deserved for dragging our good names through the mud for three solid years.

The One County Out of 99 that Trump Lost in Iowa Ran Out of Party-Switch Forms on Caucus Night.  The One County Out of 99 Counties that President Trump lost in Iowa on Caucus night ran out of party-switch forms on Caucus night.  President Trump won every single county in Iowa on Monday night except Johnson County, where Iowa City and the University of Iowa are located.  Nikki Haley won that county.  On Tuesday, CBS News explained how this happened.

Investigators Uncover Fake Michigan Addresses On Voter Rolls — One Address Has 19 Registered Voters — 8 of Them VOTED In 2020 and 2022 Elections.  If you're someone who'd like to live in a state where lawfare is used against citizens based on political affiliation, statewide voter registration fraud investigations are hidden by elected officials from clerks and citizens, or where the state's top election official repeatedly lies to the public and has been smacked down in the courts multiple times over rulings or decisions she's made that are unlawful[,] then Michigan's the place for you.  In 2016, Donald J. Trump shocked the nation when he won the state of Michigan, but in 2020, the nation watched his significant lead disappear in the wee hours of the morning on the day after the 2020 election[.]  With 90.9% of the vote accounted for in 2020, Joe Biden went from trailing President Donald J. Trump in Michigan the entire day to suddenly taking an incredible 200,000 vote lead.  Election-related lawsuits were dismissed by leftist judges across the state of Michigan, the life of the teenage daughter of Monica Palmer, chair of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers was threatened after she refused to vote to certify the Detroit election, where the election results were being called into question.  According to official records, key signatures that are reportedly required to certify the 2020 election are STILL missing from the document in Wayne County!

Virginia county revises 2020 election vote totals after discovering 'reporting errors' that miscalculated thousands of votes.  Anorthern Virginia county acknowledged last week that roughly 4,000 votes in the 2020 presidential contest were misallocated.  The Prince William County Office of Elections announced last week that President Joe Biden was shorted 1,648 votes in the 2020 presidential contest, while former President Donald Trump's "incorrectly received an extra 2,327 votes."  The initial vote total said Biden received 142,863 votes while Trump received 81,222.  But a new revision found that Biden actually received 144,511 votes while Trump received only 78,895.  In a statement, the county's director of elections, Eric Olsen, spoke about the "errors" using passive language.

Dishonest Ballot Initiative Wording Is Another Way Democrats Rig Elections.  Would you support a law protecting healthy minors from life-altering injections and amputations, side effects of which may include infertility, cancer, sexual dysfunction, and heart trouble?  Would you support a law that makes it a crime for a doctor to give "gender-affirming care" to minors whose gender dysphoria places them at a heightened risk of suicide?  If the average voter were asked each of these two questions, it's not hard to deduce that the wording of question No. 2 is far more likely to garner "no" answers, regardless of the false assumptions the question relies on.  We see the same reality at work in polling:  The way you ask someone a question greatly influences the answer.  It's why lawyers aren't allowed to "lead the witness" during direct examination.  For example, when PBS commissioned a poll in 2021 asking about restricting transgender surgeries for children, pollsters used this euphemistic language:  "Do you support or oppose legislation that would prohibit gender transition-related medical care for minors?"  Unsurprisingly, they got 66 percent of respondents to say "oppose," with only 28 percent admitting support.  Who doesn't want kids to get "medical care"?  Conversely, when the conservative group Convention of States Action asked respondents the following year, "Do you believe underage minors should be required to wait until they are adults to use puberty blockers and undergo permanent sex change procedures?" an overwhelming 79 percent said yes.

Voter Fraud Convictions Challenge Narrative of Secure Elections.  Connecticut Superior Court Judge William Clark nullified the results of a Democrat mayoral primary in November 2023 and ordered a new election.  The ruling was based on hours of video evidence showing hundreds of illegally harvested absentee ballots being stuffed into drop boxes in Bridgeport, Connecticut.  "The videos are shocking to the court and should be shocking to all the parties," Judge Clark wrote in his ruling.  A California judge overturned the result in a 2021 Compton City Council run-off race that was initially decided by one vote.  The judge tossed four fraudulent ballots cast by people not legally registered in the jurisdiction.  Five people pleaded either guilty or no contest to conspiring to commit election fraud.  After discovering that 66 of the 84 absentee ballots cast in a 2021 Democrat primary for alderman in Aberdeen, Mississippi, were invalid and shouldn't have been counted, a judge ordered a new runoff election.  Police arrested a notary for notarizing ballots without watching voters sign them or checking their identification.

CNN Iowa Entrance Poll: 68% Believe Joe Biden Didn't Legitimately Win Election.  Sixty-eight percent of Iowan caucusgoers do not believe President Joe Biden legitimately won the 2020 election, while 30 percent think he did, a CNN entrance poll found Monday evening.  The poll also asked respondents if former President Donald Trump is fit for the presidency, even if convicted of a crime.  Sixty-four percent said he was, while 34 percent said "no."  The top issue for Republican caucusgoers was immigration (40 percent), followed by the economy (35 percent), foreign policy (11 percent), and abortion (11 percent).

Illinois citizens group files formal complaint with state Board of Elections.  A couple from Illinois, Jodie and Ken Zitko, have formed a group of concerned citizens who have been analyzing the Illinois state voter database.  They have found serious irregularities, detailed in a formal complaint filed with Bernadette Matthews, director of the Illinois State Board of Elections on December 21.  Here are some of their findings after almost 2,000 hours of analysis.
  •   There were over 300,000 votes from the 2020 election missing or deleted from the Illinois voter data prior to the conclusion of the federal retention period of 22 months.
  •   Over a four-year period, Illinois population decreased by 150,000, while the voter roll increased by 650,000.
  •   Over 2.5 million people had votes cast prior to their registration dates.
  •   More than 230,000 registrations show seemingly illegal or illogical registration dates.
  •   There are more than 4 million apparent registration violations out of 8.9 million registrations.
This couple is not your ordinary pair of election sleuths.

Georgia State Senators Introduce Legislation to remove Dirty Brad Raffensperger from State Election Board.  Georgia State Senators introduced a bill to remove Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger from the State Election Board, and grant the board authority to investigate him and his office for election law violations.  [Tweet]  This situation started when Raffensperger failed to investigate the 2020 election fraud discovered by citizen election integrity advocate Joseph Rossi.  "These initial findings and an inability to obtain explanations from Raffensperger's office led Rossi to provide the evidence to Governor Brian Kemp's office which performed its own independent analysis and then issued a written finding saying that Rossi's results were factual."  Per@GA_Record[.]  In other words, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger worked to cover up 2020 election fraud instead of doing something about it.

The Deepest Part of the Swamp [is] The FBI.  [Scroll down]  Many former FBI agents are asking, "Where was the FBI during the cyberwarfare attack on the 2020 election?" Marxist revolutionaries determined to overthrow the American government have coordinated this into a transnational and international threat, and Christopher Wray, the FBI director, is protecting these treasonous leftist operations.  It has been over three years since evidence was delivered to the FBI concerning massive election fraud in Michigan.  There has been no further investigation, and no charges have been filed.

The Courts Were Never Supposed To Decide Our Elections.  Hamilton called the judiciary the 'least dangerous branch,' but that was oh-so 18th century.  Alexander Hamilton described the judiciary as "the least dangerous branch," because it has the power of neither the sword nor the purse.  It was supposed to play an important but limited role in our governance, as part of the system of checks and balances, but in recent years — especially since Bush v.  Gore in 2000 — the courts have begun to play far too important roles in determining the outcome of elections.  This certainly seems to be the case today, in the run-up to the 2024 presidential election.  Some radical Democrats are trying to use the courts to deny President Trump the right to appear on state ballots.  This will probably fail, but not without causing considerable confusion in the early primaries.  If it were to succeed, it might well divide the country beyond repair, as millions of Americans would be denied the right to vote for the candidate of their choice.  The 14th Amendment is being distorted by partisans to achieve partisan results.

We Are in an Abusive Relationship with Our Government.  While foreign nationals are invading the United States in unprecedented numbers, Department of Homeland (in)Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas continues to claim that (1) there is no crisis of any kind, and (2) if there is a crisis, Congress should just allocate more money for DHS to quickly bus the invaders into small towns throughout the country.  Hear that, American citizens?  The problem isn't that tens of millions of foreigners are illegally entering the country; the problem is that people are noticing the problem — which would quickly disappear if DHS had the funds to hide the invaders more effectively and seed them into the counties where illegal votes from illegal aliens will do Democrats the most good.  Canceling American votes one invader at a time — yet none dare call it election-rigging on a massive scale!  Mayorkas's admission that his plan to tackle illegal immigration consists of (1) making it worse but (2) hiding it more effectively is another infuriating example of why governments (of any kind!) can never, ever be trusted.

Small Town, USA learns the hard way that welcoming lawbreakers has negative consequences.  [Scroll down]  And there it is — with a driver's license in Wisconsin, these illegals then have the "right" to vote.  According to the state's government website, all that's required to register to vote is a "Proof of Residence" document[,] which can be a valid state driver's license.  From the website itself:  ["]All voters MUST provide a Proof of Residence Document when registering.  If you register to vote by mail, in-person in your clerk's office, or at your polling place on Election Day, you need to provide a Proof of Residence document.  If you register online ... your valid State of Wisconsin driver license or State of Wisconsin ID card issued by the Wisconsin Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) qualifies as a valid Proof of Residence document.["]  Then, when it comes times to vote, a person simply needs to show ID.  If this isn't the most absurd slap in the face, then I don't know what is.

In Arizona you don't even have to be a US citizen to vote in the federal election.  Bro, it's not a conspiracy theory.  This information also appears on Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes' website. [...] We got ourselves an invasion of Democrat voters, folks, and why am I not surprised that the Dems found another way to cheat?  Also not surprising, illegals can vote in other U.S. elections too:  [Tweets]

Georgia's State Election Board now admits the 2020 election was a fraud.  What happened to all of those corporate media whores who told us the last three years that "claims of election fraud are unverified" every time they were forced to cover the stolen 2020 election?  I'm asking because we now have video evidence of Georgia's State Election Board members confirming that Georgia's 2020 election was fraudulent — and those corporate media whores are suddenly silent.  Here's Janice Johnston confirming that 4,081 false mail-in votes for Biden were found in Fulton County.  Remember:  Biden supposedly "won" Georgia by less than 12,000 votes.  [Tweet]  Once you subtract the 4,081 false mail-in votes from the total, Biden "won" the state by less than 8,000 votes.  Now you get to the second machine recount:  it's 18,000 votes short.  What does that mean?  It means that there's no ballot images for 18,000 votes.  Those are just ghost votes.

How to Sabotage a Full Forensic Audit.  The 2021 Full Forensic Audit in Arizona was historic in many ways.  It was the first deployment of Computer Vision, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence in an American Election Audit.  People can fool you.  Systems can fool you!  But when people try to fool the systems[,] they always expose themselves[.]

A Silly People.  Our three government branches, agencies like the CIA, FBI, Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, the DOJ, and the Democrat Party, have joined forces.  They have all decided to dictate to the rest of the country who our leaders will be and the direction our country will move towards.  It looks nothing like America, and most of us have no interest in making the change.  But these self-appointed autocrats are undeterred.  In their propaganda about saving democracy, they intend to destroy it.

Judge rules use of vans in absentee voting violates election law.  A state judge has sided with a registered Wisconsin voter, saying use of vans for in-person absentee voting in 2022 was not fair and violated election law.  Judge Eugene Gasiorkiewicz on Monday ruled for plaintiff in Kenneth Brown v.  Wisconsin Elections Commission and Tara McMenamin.  The decision from the bench said even though state law doesn't explicitly outlaw using a mobile voting van as did Racine in 2022, it doesn't mean it is permitted.  McMenamin is Racine's city clerk and used the mobile van in different neighborhoods across the city.  The lawsuit said that favored Democrats and Gasiorkiewicz agreed.

Arizona Allows Noncitizens to Vote in Federal Elections (With a Wink and a Nod).  Joe Biden has opened the floodgates and is importing somewhere between 8 [and] 12 million new illegal immigrants into the country.  There is going to be massive voter fraud in the next election.  The way that they are accomplishing this is making it nearly impossible to track down who was eligible to vote and who wasn't.  Ballots will be distributed like Monopoly money, collected by "ballot harvesters," and counted by corrupt local officials, and they hope that by doing so, they can eke out a victory or better than that.  Do the illegal immigrants streaming into the country know they are part of this scheme?  Most likely not.  Will most of them participate in it?  Probably not.  It's not like most of them came into the country as willing participants in a scheme to steal federal elections.  But will the flood of illegal aliens, many of whom are getting driver's licenses in states like my own, Minnesota — 19 states and the District of Columbia — be used to rig the vote?  Certainly, throw in motor voter and lots of illegals will be automatically registered to vote, even if they don't intend to.  Ballots will be sent, collected by operatives, and returned.  It may be easier in some places than others.

More on Noncitizens Voting.  I sort of did and sort of didn't goof in the article on noncitizen voting in my article on voting registration in Arizona.  It turns out that the problem doesn't only exist in Arizona but in every single state in the union due to federal law.  The National Voter Registration Act prevents every state from requiring people to prove that they are US citizens to vote.  How about them apples?  In my view, this makes things far worse than I had originally presumed.  Joe Biden really is importing millions of potential voters, and federal law actually prevents states from confirming the citizenship status of people as they register to vote.  Ironically, this standard was established firmly due to a case that came out of Arizona, when in 2004 Arizona Proposition 200 was voted on to establish a requirement that proof of citizenship should be required in order to register to vote.  The state was sued by voting rights activists, claiming that federal law supersedes the state requirement.  The District Court agreed with the state, but the Supreme Court (led by, ironically, Justice Scalia) disagreed.

Pelosi says states, not voters, should be able to decide who is on a ballot.  Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi just stunned viewers on national television by admitting that she thinks states should decide who's allowed to run for president of the United States.  This would give states like California the ability to drop former President Trump from the ballot if she got her way.  Many feel her actions aren't about protecting "democracy" but about pure, unadulterated power.  Pelosi told CNN's Dana Bash on Thursday that although "martyr" Donald Trump could be the beneficiary from the "raw politics" of being removed from state presidential ballots, it's the "kitchen table issues" that are important to American voters.

Leftist Judge Strikes Blow To Election Integrity In Wisconsin With Ballot 'Curing' Decision.  A far-left, Madison-based judge has struck another blow against election integrity in battleground Wisconsin, a swing state expected to play a pivotal role in deciding November's presidential election.  Dane County Circuit Court Judge Ryan Nilsestuen, who previously served as Democrat Gov. Tony Evers' top attorney, sided with the leftist League of Women Voters of Wisconsin in a ruling that would allow local elections officials to correct — or "cure" — absentee ballots with missing or incorrect information.  The ruling, issued Tuesday, collides with the conservative Waukesha County Circuit Court opinion in 2022 that found Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) guidance allowing "curing" of absentee ballot envelopes defied state election law.  Judge Michael J. Aprahamian at the time prohibited WEC "from providing any advice or guidance that municipal clerks or other local election officials have the duty or ability to modify or add information to absentee ballot certifications."

Post-Election Audits Should Be The Norm For Every State.  I may be dating myself, but the old saying goes, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."  We can get much more than an ounce's worth of prevention by engaging in post-election process audits.  It is much easier to fix process problems early before they blow up and become problems that require litigation and other nasty fixes.  Ahead of the 2024 election, state legislatures should require full process audits to ensure transparency and build trust in our elections.  I was the lead auditor responsible for developing and leading the first round of Texas process audits looking at the 2020 General Election.  The purpose of the audit program was not to unearth fraud, but to provide quality assurance to voters by verifying that election laws and procedures were being followed.

Summary of Election Fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election in the Swing States Report Shows Election Irregularities.  On Tuesday, President Trump took to TruthSocial to share the Summary of Election Fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election in the Swing States, a report highlighting election fraud in Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania during the 2020 election.  The report adds another layer of ridiculousness to Fani Willis's charges against President Trump.  This report should also motivate Trump supporters to ensure their state's GOP has strong and competent leaders, as Democrats are already cheating in the 2024 election.  Joe Biden "won" Georgia by 11,779 votes.  Summary of Election Fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election in the Swing States report states, "Ninety percent of these approximately 148,000 absentee ballots cast in Fulton County cannot be authenticated."  The report goes on to read that "None of the 315,000 votes cast during early voting in Fulton County were witnessed to and signed by the poll manager and two poll workers, as required by state election rules."  Even weirder is the fact that "Fulton County certified 59,143 in-person votes on Election Day, despite the fact that only 14,152 people had voted as of 5 p.m."

Trump Releases Summary of Election Fraud In 2020 Swing States.  Former President Donald Trump has unveiled a comprehensive report of election fraud in various swing states from the 2020 Presidential election.  The document has been compiled by leading election experts, which Trump asserts is thoroughly verified and based on government sources, tapes, and public records.  Each state discussed in the document has its unique set of allegations, which contribute to an overarching narrative of purported election fraud.  Overall, the document discusses a range of irregularities, including reports of ineligible voters, anomalies in voting machines, and improbably high percentages of ballots cast for Biden.  Trump suggested that investigations have uncovered a wide array of irregularities, unlawful activities, manipulation of election records, destruction of evidence, and outright fraud.

Catherine Engelbrecht and True the Vote Win Lawsuit in Georgia Against Stacy Abrams, Marc Elias, and Fair Fight Org!.  Catherine Engelbrecht and True the Vote won their lawsuit in Georgia against Stacy Abrams, Marc Elias, and the far-left Fair Fight organization in a landmark election case.  Catherine announced this incredible news on Tuesday afternoon!  True the Vote (TTV) declares a decisive triumph in their legal battle against Stacy Abrams' Fair Fight, legal teams led by Marc Elias, and the Biden Department of Justice.  A federal court in the Northern District of Georgia today affirmed that citizens have the right to lawfully petition their government in support of election integrity without fear of persecution or prosecution.

Convicted Ballot Harvester Gloria Torres Named San Luis Vice-Mayor.  Convicted ballot harvester, Gloria Torres, has been appointed as the new Vice Mayor of San Luis, Arizona.  Torres, who was appointed during the regular city council meeting on December 13, pleaded guilty to ballot abuse in June 2023.  Torres and Nadia Guadalupe Lizarraga-Mayorquin a/k/a Nadia Buchanan were indicted in October 2022, on two Class 6 felonies of conspiracy and ballot abuse stemming from a two-year long investigation by the Arizona Attorney General's Office with assistance from the Yuma County Sheriff's Office.

Ex-CIA Analyst Warns About Intel Agencies Being Involved in 2024 Election.  Looks like electoral mischief might be afoot again.  According to ex-CIA analyst, now professor at Georgetown University Dr. John Gentry, he believes the alphabet agencies will try to interfere in the 2024 election. [...] Gentry termed the effort to downplay the Hunter Biden laptop as "clearly political" and that "in no uncertain terms" it was done "explicitly" with the "intent to help the Biden campaign."  He said he was already seeing signs. [...] Gentry also pointed out how the intel agencies had been compromised by politics, that the standard of not being involved in politics was largely "gone" and political activism was "common."  He pointed to two main reasons: former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.  Gentry said that they did things pursuant to DEI and "policy actions, in terms of specific recruitment efforts" that helped to precipitate this change.

Cheaters Shouldn't Win and Winners Shouldn't Cheat.  [Scroll down]  The tables were turned in 2020 when Joe Biden, a candidate who couldn't attract more than 30 people to attend a rally, "defeated" President Trump.  The fact that six states simultaneously stopped counting early the next morning and later showed statistically impossible jumps in votes for Biden has led me to an ongoing study of election fraud — vote-count manipulations, dropbox stuffing, and mail-in ballot fraud — almost all perpetrated by Democrat operatives working in concert across the country. [...] So it looks like we have a double dose of organized cheating.  First, corrupt actors altering counts, stuffing ballot boxes, and manufacturing and counting fake absentee ballots, and second, voters signing ballots that weren't theirs and voting in states from which they had moved.  With millions of mandatory vote by mail ballots being sent out to wrong addresses, the temptation is strong to fill them out yourself and mail them back.

About a third of Republicans Believe Votes Won't Be Counted Correctly in 2024.  An Associated Press-NORC survey released this week found that some 32 percent of Republican voters believe votes likely won't be counted correctly in the 2024 primaries and election. About one-third of GOP voters told pollsters that they have a "great deal" or "quite a bit" of confidence that votes in the Republican primary elections and caucuses will be counted correctly.  About 3 in 10 Republicans have a "moderate" level of confidence, while 32 percent said they have either "only a little" confidence in elections or "none at all."  The AP poll found that 72 percent of Democrat voters have high confidence that their party will count votes accurately in its primary contests, while they're more likely than Republicans to have a high level of confidence in the Republican Party's vote count being accurate.

New Evidence Suggests There Was Never Voting Machine Election Audit Performed in Georgia Following 2020 Election.  A recent Gateway Pundit report by investigator Brian Lupo is making the rounds on social media this weekend.  There is currently no evidence that there was ever a voting machine election audit performed in Georgia following the 2020 election.  On November 17, 2020, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger made an announcement that an audit "using forensic techniques" was completed with "no sign of foul play" in the 2020 election.  The statement previously appeared on the Secretary of State's webpage and is still available via the Wayback Machine here.  Investigative journalist Kevin Moncla of the Election Oversight Group, and another individual began to send Open Records Requests from the counties that were allegedly "audited" back in 2022.  While Raffensperger's statement says there were six counties "audited," the Pro V&V memo only listed four: [...] Not one county had records affirming, or even suggesting, that Pro V&V did an audit of their equipment.

People Here Illegally Are Getting Photo IDs.  After releasing millions of anonymous, unvetted illegal aliens into the interior, especially into red states, Biden's administration will give them photo ID cards.  They will probably vote illegally.  Buried in the Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) annual report, officials confirmed that they are planning to begin issuing photo ID cards to border crossers and illegal aliens sometime this fiscal year.

The Corruption of Everything.  [Scroll down]  Elections have been corrupted.  Mail-in ballots, demonstrated to be extremely susceptible to fraudulent inflation of Democrat votes, are ready for the next fraud.  Dead people vote; people vote multiple times; non-residents vote in other states; and phony ballots are printed and signed with the same handwriting, then run through counting machines multiple times.  Computer problems pop up so as to skew the vote.

Now There's Proof!  Brad Raffensperger Lied to President Trump When He Told Him in Jan 2021 Phone Call There Was No Fraud in 2020 Election.  In late December 2020, President Trump made a call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asking him to look at some of the items that were uncovered by his auditor.  There was plenty of evidence for a competent auditor or any man of integrity to know that the election was uncertifiable.  Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger's office secretly recorded the phone call with President Trump, then lied about its contents later when they leaked it to the far-left Washington Post.  Raffensperger's office ran to the Washington Post and leaked a fraudulent transcript of the call.  After they were caught lying to the American public, The Washington Post outed Jordan Fuchs as their anonymous source for the garbage hit piece.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger Refuses to Testify Under Oath About Secretary of State's Dominion Voting Machines.  As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier this year — the Federal District Court for the Northern District of Georgia unsealed the 96-page Halderman Report in June 2023- the Security Analysis of Georgia's ImageCast X Ballot Marking Devices.  Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger was hiding this report from the public for two years.  University of Michigan Professor of Computer Science and Engineering J. Halderman and Security Researcher and Assistant Professor at Auburn University Drew Sringall collaborated on the report where they discovered many exploitable vulnerabilities in the Dominion Voting Systems' ImageCast X system.  Far-left Georgia Judge Amy Totenberg sealed and covered up the results of the investigation on Dominion voting machines in Georgia and sat on the report for two years until its release last summer.

Democrats in Four States Decide to Have Only Joe Biden on the Primary Ballot.  Four states — Florida, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Massachusetts — have decided to force voters with a single option for the Democratic primaries:  Joe Biden.  The decision, which effectively crowns Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee in those states without primary contestation, has incited allegations of disenfranchisement and questions about the democratic process within the party.  The true threat to the demise of our democracy lies with the Democrats, not Donald Trump.  The communist party will now decide the Democratic Party's nominee and who they install into the White House.  The Florida Democratic Executive Committee announced that in the upcoming primary elections, the ballot will only feature the name of Joe Biden, effectively excluding any potential challengers within the party.

Use the Colorado Precedent.  [Scroll down]  The government, according to the people's reactions, can provide safe haven for child sex traffickers, human traffickers, drug smugglers, terrorists and foreign armies and still not call it for what it is:  treason.  They want an orderly and meaningful way to oppose those things while the republic is lost during the discussion.  The important thing is, it doesn't matter what they want, because the communist train continues down the track.  The American wants to vote against these things, but the communists won't let them.  Stealing elections is how they came to power, they certainly aren't going to allow people to vote them out of office or vote for people who would put an end to their crime spree.

2020 Election Fraud and the Courts.  While it's far too late for the judicial worm to turn on illegalities in the 2020 election in a way that would overturn the election of President Biden, maybe there are other consequences to be had for the people who engineered what may be the most consequential criminal collaboration or conspiracy in history.  At that critical time following the election and preceding the events of January 6, 2021, the Trump campaign and others, including voters and state officials, were filing lawsuits in the respective states where voting illegalities, material irregularities, unconstitutional acts involving ballot distribution, and outright voter fraud occurred.  Those emergency lawsuits were hampered by the lack of opportunity to gather evidence through formal discovery. [...] "Who gave the order to stop counting votes" in unprecedented lockstep, sending home election monitors, and increasing the opportunities for voter fraud is a prima facie basis to believe there was a criminal conspiracy in the 2020 election.  But there is much more to create reasonable or probable cause for real investigations.

Poll Casts Doubt on Outcome of 2020 Election.  What if the 2020 election was actually far from the most "safe and secure" in American history, as the mainstream has relentlessly parroted over the past three years?  What if Joe Biden actually lost several of the closely contested battleground states due to widespread mail-in voting fraud?  What if Donald Trump actually won the 2020 election?  These questions have been dogging me ever since the 2020 election was called in favor of Joe Biden.  However, thanks to a new poll conducted by the Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports, we may be able to answer these taboo questions with a new sense of confidence.  Here are a few of the key takeaways from the poll:  21 percent of mail-in voters admitted that they filled out a ballot for a friend or family member; 19 percent of mail-in voters admitted that a friend or family member filled out a ballot on their behalf; 17 percent of mail-in voters admitted that they voted in a state where they are no longer a permanent resident; and 17 percent of mail-in voters said they signed a ballot for a friend or family member with or without his or her permission.  Every single one of these instances are illegal and constitute voter fraud.

Do Not Apologize.  Do not apologize for believing that the 2020 election was stolen.  Do not apologize for wondering if FOX News was in on the steal.  Do not apologize for pointing out that FOX News anchor Chris Wallace thought it normal to stop the counting of votes at 11:30 that night (when that had never occurred before).  Do not apologize for pointing out that January 6 was probably a fed-surrection inside job by the FBI/CIA/NSA, with Deep State personnel used to entrap law-abiding American citizens.  Do not apologize for pointing out that the ACLU remains silent and a co-conspirator in the denying of 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens.

Six Days of Georgia Election Fraud!  [#1] Did you know that Fulton County officials sent emails to each other confirming that Hall County (GA) was under cyber attack on October 7th, 2020?  [Illustration not shown here.]  [#2] Did you know that a Fulton County poll worker's computer was hacked on October 23, 2020 — and that Georgia's Secretary of State was informed by email?  [Illustration.]  [#3] Did you know that Georgia election officials were informed by email that the Fulton County poll worker's computer had been hacked — and that the computer then was used remotely "to access ElectioNet and Easy Vote" and then "to process AB applications for voters" on October 29th, 2020?  [Illustration.]  [#4] Did you know that employees of Georgia's Secretary of State Office knew by October 31st, 2020 that Fulton County's election officials used only one password for all of its computers?  That's right: "the password is the same on all the other assets in the organization."  What did they do about it before the election?  Apparently, they did nothing.

Media Lie About This Leftist-Linked Voter Roll 'Maintenance' Group To Protect Democrats' Election Machine.  Over the past two weeks, regime-approved press outlets have run several articles rushing to the defense of leftists' latest scheme to inflate voter rolls with likely-Democrat voters: the Electronic Registration Information Center.  Otherwise known as ERIC, this organization is a widely used voter-roll "management" system founded by Democrat activist David Becker that was "sold to states as a quick and easy way to update their voter rolls."  In reality, ERIC's membership agreement places a higher priority on registering new voters than on cleaning up existing voter rolls[.]  The program inflates voter rolls by requiring member states to contact "eligible but unregistered" residents to encourage them to register to vote.  When a state becomes an ERIC member, it is required to submit "all active and inactive voter files," "all licensing or identification records contained in the motor vehicles database," and any state files related to "voter registration functions" to the organization, which then compares this information with that submitted by other member states.  It's after this process that ERIC compiles updated voter-roll information — including lists of voters who have multiple registrations, moved, or died, and lists of "eligible but unregistered" voters — and sends it to member states.

DC forced to remove 103,000 ineligible voters from rolls.  The watchdog group Judicial Watch has sent notice letters to election officials in the District of Columbia, California, and Illinois, notifying them of evident violations of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) of 1993, based on their failure to remove inactive voters from their registration rolls.  The letters point out that these jurisdictions publicly reported removing few or no ineligible voter registrations they were required to remove under a key provision of the NVRA.  The letters threaten federal lawsuits unless the violations are corrected in a timely fashion.  In response to Judicial Watch's inquiries, Washington, DC, officials admitted that they had not complied with the NVRA, promptly removing 65,544 outdated names from the voting rolls, promising to remove 37,962 more, and designating another 73,522 registrations as "inactive."

When It Comes to Voter Fraud, It's Who Counts That Counts.  Last week, a survey conducted by the Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Research found that one in five voters admit to having committed some sort of vote-by-mail violation in the 2020 presidential election.  Because the issues of voting integrity and vote fraud are so important — central, in fact, to our democratic republic — it's worth dwelling on the findings, always eyeing a possible remedy.  We can begin with a caveat that this is a self-reported poll.  And so the confessed violations would not necessarily feature in the Heritage Foundation's ever-growing database of proven vote fraud.  Secondly, some of the violations seem small potatoes.  For instance, 21 percent of mail-in voters admitted that they filled out a ballot for a friend or family member.  Assuming the absence of fraud (marking a different name than the would-be voter wanted) or duress (forcing a different vote), is such collaborative balloting a big deal?  On the other hand, 17 percent of mail-in voters said that they voted in a state where they are "no longer a permanent resident."  That is a big deal.

Why the January 6th Judge That Presided Over Rudy Giuliani's Trial Must Be Impeached.  Judge Beryl Howell had the time of her life presiding over the trial of Rudy Giuliani.  Sitting perched above Courtroom Number 26 of the E. Barrett Prettyman Courthouse in Washington D.C., the Trump-hating Obama appointee looked on last week as an unhinged, bias and corrupted jury ordered Giuliani pay $148 million dollars to former Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and Shane Moss.  If this ridiculous judgement is not the final proof needed for lawmakers to understand that a D.C. jury is beyond rehabilitation and a D.C. judge is NOT fit to reasonably judge Conservatives or Trump supporters, I do not know what is.

The Editor says...
If the alleged misconduct occurred in Georgia, why was this trial held in the District of Columbia?

Rudy Giuliani ordered to pay $148 m[illion] to Georgia election workers.  Two Georgia election workers who were defamed by Rudy Giuliani were awarded $148 million in emotional and punitive damages by a Washington, D.C., jury on Friday after being vilified and accused of faking election results.  Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea Shaye Moss had asked for $24 million each.  They testified in court how their lives were upended and their reputations destroyed after Giuliani claimed they had engaged in election fraud to give President Joe Biden the edge in Georgia over former President Donald Trump during the 2020 election.

Republicans Introduce Plan to Verify U.S. Citizenship for Mail-In Voters.  Republicans on the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration, led by Sen. Katie Britt (R-AL), have introduced legislation that would give states the power to verify the American citizenship of applicants registering to vote via mail.  This week, Britt and fellow Republicans introduced the "Citizen Ballot Protection Act" which would give states the ability to more accurately verify that only American citizens are being approved for voter registrations.  Britt said the legislation is necessary as several blue states, counties, and cities pass ordinances opening voting rights to foreign nationals — at least for municipal elections.

Chicago lawmakers are blocking efforts to put sanctuary city status on ballot.  Chicago's Democrat leaders have been accused of hiding from voters in a city buckling under a migrant crisis after they blocked a vote on ditching its sanctuary city status.  Mayor Brandon Johnson ordered his lieutenants to quash a bid to put the controversial 'Welcoming City Ordinance' to a referendum on Chicago's March primary ballot.  It came after the mayor's floor leader was forced to resign for physically blocking opponents trying to access a previous vote on the issue last month.

A State-by-State Look at Noncitizen Voting.  Very recently, the Heartland Institute and Rasmussen Reports released the shocking results of their survey of 1,085 national likely voters.  Of the ten questions asked, I think the most disturbing responses were related to these:
  ·   "During the 2020 election, did you cast a mail-in ballot in a state where you were no longer a permanent resident?"  (17% said, "Yes.").
  ·   "During the 2020 election, did a friend, family member, or organization, such as a political party, offer to pay or reward you for voting?"  (8% said, "Yes.").
  ·   "Do you know a friend, family member, co-worker, or other acquaintance who has admitted to you that he or she filled out a ballot on behalf of another person?"  (11% said, "Yes.").
Those results are bad enough, but I'd like to expand them to include two groups that probably did not respond to the survey:  noncitizens and dead people.

Was Illinois' 2022 general election valid?  Election integrity advocates have grown tired of the information war that declares our elections as the "safest and most secure in history."  No matter how many outrageous mistakes we uncover, officials defending our current political system as representative of the will of the American people always seem to find an excuse to dismiss our serious concerns. [...] Election validity is not about who won.  It's about accuracy and compliance under the law — otherwise it's not valid, period.  Which means the reported results are not valid, either.  In short, we have no way to determine for sure who won any election in Illinois in 2022.

Survey Reveals a Mountain of Possible 2020 Election Crimes.  According to a recent Rasmussen Reports poll, over 20% of people who used mail-in ballots admitted breaking at least one law in the 2020 election.  The poll involved 1,085 likely voters.  The margin of error is +/- 3 with a 95% confidence level.  The Rasmussen poll, conducted with The Heartland Institute, found that 21% of likely voters filled out a partial or full ballot for a family member or friend.  Another 19% admitted someone filled out their ballot, again in part or full.  Most astoundingly, a further 17% admitted to voting in a state they no longer lived in.  Pssst, these are all crimes.  Eight percent claim they were offered a reward, financial or otherwise, by a friend, relative, or organization to vote for a particular candidate.

Survey: More than 1-in-5 Mail-In Voters Admit to Cheating in 2020 Election.  In the 2020 election, more than 1-in-5 voters who submitted ballots by mail say they did so fraudulently, a survey from Rasmussen Reports and the Heartland Institute reveals.  The survey asked those who voted by mail in the 2020 election if they filled out a ballot "in part or in full, on behalf of a friend or family member, such as a spouse or child?" to which 21 percent said they had done so.  Though many states allow voters to receive assistance while voting, the Heartland Institute notes, filling out ballots on behalf of another person is illegal across the United States.

The Georgia State Farm Center Election Night Report Is Proof that Chris Wray's FBI Was in on the Election Fraud Cover-Up.  As reported on Monday — Chris Wray's FBI, along with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger's office, released a report in June 2023 where they announced that they "did not uncover any violations" during their investigation of the late-night ballot counting at The State Farm Center in Atlanta, Georgia on Election Day November 3, 2020.  According to the report, "Teams of investigators from the FBI, GBI, and Georgia SOS conducted independent and simultaneous interviews of Fulton County elections workers who were involved in the processing and scanning of absentee ballots at State Farm Arena on Election Night on November 3, 2020.  Investigators from the three law enforcement agencies also reviewed the entire unedited security video footage of the events in question at State Farm Arena.  SOS investigators independently interviewed party observers who were present at State Farm Arena that evening."  They say they did not uncover any violations or evidence of wrongdoing.  That's because they hid it from their report.

The FBI Report on the Late Night Ballot Fraud Operation in Georgia in 2020 Exonerates Rudy Giuliani and Implicates Chris Wray.  Chris Wray's FBI, along with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger's office, released a report in June that concluded that they "did not uncover any violations" during their investigation of the late-night ballot counting at The State Farm Center in Atlanta, Georgia on Election Day November 3, 2020.  According to the report, "Teams of investigators from the FBI, GBI, and Georgia SOS conducted independent and simultaneous interviews of Fulton County elections workers who were involved in the processing and scanning of absentee ballots at State Farm Arena on Election Night on November 3, 2020.  Investigators from the three law enforcement agencies also reviewed the entire unedited security video footage of the events in question at State Farm Arena.  SOS investigators independently interviewed party observers who were present at State Farm Arena that evening."  They did not uncover any violations.

West Virginia Secretary of State and Gubernatorial Candidate Says 2020 Election Was 'Stolen by the CIA'.  In a recent gubernatorial debate, West Virginia Secretary of State Mac Warner, a Republican, made the bold statement that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) played a role in stealing the 2020 presidential election from Donald Trump.  As a 23-year veteran of the U.S. Army and the current Secretary of State of West Virginia, Warner positions himself as a "battle-tested leader" on his campaign website.  His military and administrative experiences form a significant part of his gubernatorial campaign.  During a recent debate held by Metro News, Warner doubled down on his past allegations of widespread fraud in the 2020 presidential election.  This time, he implicated the CIA directly, stating, "The election was stolen, and it was stolen by the CIA."

Watchdog: Soros-Linked Milwaukee District Attorney Refuses to Review Cases of Potential Illegal Voting.  Milwaukee County District Attorney (DA) John Chisholm (D) is refusing to review hundreds of cases of potential illegal voting via Wisconsin's same-day registration policy, researchers at the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) say.  According to PILF researchers, Chisholm has not bothered to review at least 354 cases of potential illegal voting that were referred to the Milwaukee County DA's Office since 2020.  "Election officials are best situated to notice and investigate potential violations of election law," PILF President J. Christian Adams said in a statement:  ["]Wisconsin requires election officials to investigate same-day registrations and refer individuals who appear to have used bad addresses to prosecuting authorities.  When a DA refuses to even look at the evidence, that harms Wisconsin elections.["]

Two Weeks That Changed America.  On March 16th, [2020,] Donald Trump declared a National Emergency for COVID-19 and effectively shut down the nation for "15 days to slow the spread".  At a press conference announcing the temporary shutdown he said:  "With several weeks of focused action, we can turn the corner, and turn it quickly."  Regardless of the severity, never throughout the annals of mankind has a nation been shut down to combat a pandemic.  However, the politically compromised and dishonest medical advisors to Trump (including Drs.  Fauci and Birx) advised him to declare a National Emergency and agree to a shutdown and social distancing by pointing to the supposed success of China's choreographed lockdowns.  Soon thereafter, Trump allied with Mitch McConnell and the Democrats to structure an unprecedented economic relief package which was passed by Congress on March 27, 2020.  Trump signed the $2.2 Trillion Coronavirus relief bill or the CARES Act on the same day.  This was the largest single spending bill in human history and equivalent to the annual Gross Domestic Product of Russia.  Within the voluminous CARES Act was $400 million to the states to legitimize, promote, and underwrite mass mail-in voting and by default, ballot harvesting.  By including this spending in the relief package, both political parties and the White House gave their stamp of approval for mass mail-in voting and the inevitable attendant abuse and manipulation.

Investigation Finds 131 Percent of Eligible Voters Registered in Washington, DC.  The watchdog group Judicial Watch has done a deep dive into the voter rolls of Washington, DC and some other places and found an absolute mess.  In Washington, DC, eligible voters are registered at a rate of 131%, violating standards of basic math.  It's probably just an oversight, right?  It couldn't be a problem of fraud or anything nefarious.

Voting experts warn of 'serious threats' for 2024 from election equipment software breaches.  An effort to access voting system software in several states and provide it to allies of former President Donald Trump as they sought to overturn the results of the 2020 election has raised "serious threats" ahead of next year's presidential contest, according to a group of experts who urged federal agencies to investigate.  The letter sent by nearly two dozen computer scientists, election security experts and voter advocacy organizations asks for a federal probe and a risk assessment of voting machines used throughout the country, saying the software breaches have "urgent implications for the 2024 election and beyond."  The breaches affected voting equipment made by two companies that together count over 70% of the votes cast across the country, according to the letter.

Our Institutions Have Betrayed Our Trust.  Unless we are able to replace our greedy and compromised elected officials by fighting back against our corrupt electoral process, we will forever be slaves, subject to the lies and intimidation of those currently in charge and forced to live with the rampant crime and ruined economy of a nation in decline with undefended borders.  It all comes down to restoring honest and fair elections, starting with exposing state voting rolls that are currently flooded with inaccurate data rendering results invalid.  Local and state Board of Election officials who sign off on election certifications are guilty of serious federal and state crimes if they fail to follow laws scrupulously.  Brave citizens in over 25 states have come forward to investigate and expose the blatant disregard for basic election procedures.  We must support their efforts and demand our state legislators take back control of election procedures from governors, judges and bureaucrats.

Why I Still Doubt the 2020 Election.  When I said in a TV interview that I didn't know who won the 2020 presidential election, I was expressing a view similar to that held by a very large cohort of Americans.  That didn't stop two left-leaning news websites from targeting me last year with investigative stories.  Why?  Perhaps they were trying to get me hauled up before the House of Representatives Jan. 6 committee.  In American history there have been several contested presidential elections, including in 1960 and 2000.  Some people doubted the certified results.  But the victors either debated the doubters or ignored them.  I don't know of any election after which the victors excommunicated doubters as secular heretics — "election deniers." [...] I suspect that some of the election affirmers have their own secret doubts.  Secret doubts may explain why the establishment media so loudly denied any serious irregularities only hours after the election, before anyone could have conducted a serious investigation.  Secret doubts may explain the haste to cite the failure of President Donald Trump's courtroom strategy as "evidence" of the absence of problems — although nearly all his lawsuits were dismissed on procedural grounds, not on the merits.

2020 Election Results Explained By Biden "Spikes".  Physicist John Droz joins ITN to discuss his team's incredible analysis of the 2020 presidential election results.  [Video clip]

More than 43,000 people went to the polls for a Louisiana election.  A candidate won by 1 vote.  In the northwest corner of Louisiana, a candidate for parish sheriff demanded a recount Wednesday after losing by a single vote in an election where more than 43,000 people cast ballots.  The tight race shines a spotlight on Louisiana's recount process and its outdated voting machines, which do not produce an auditable paper trail that experts say is critical to ensuring election results are accurate.  States' recount abilities have proven to be exceedingly important, especially following the 2020 presidential election when multiple battleground states conducted recounts and reviews to confirm President Joe Biden's victory.  "This extraordinarily narrow margin ... absolutely requires a hand recount to protect the integrity of our democratic process, and to ensure we respect the will of the people," John Nickelson, the Republican candidate who trailed by one vote in last week's election for Caddo Parish Sheriff, posted on social media Wednesday.

Lancaster County Voters Seek Answers from Postal Service as Mail-In Ballots Missed Election Deadline Resulting in Disqualification.  Voters in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania are demanding explanations from the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) following the disqualification of over a hundred mail-in ballots.  A substantial delay resulted in ballots, postmarked by the required date, arriving too late to be counted for the past election.  The ballots, all postmarked on October 30th in Harrisburg, sat undelivered for two weeks, missing the 8 p.m. deadline on Election Day, November 7th, LancasterOnline reported.  As a consequence, when they arrived on November 13th, six days too late, election officials had no choice but to reject them.  The exact number of affected ballots remains unconfirmed, though estimates range from 100 to 150.  Angered and frustrated voters reported receiving automated messages on or about November 14th informing them of the rejection due to the ballots not meeting the delivery deadline.

The Editor says...
[#1] Boo hoo.  Maybe you should have reported to the polling place in person on Election Day.  [#2] The postal service is not a ballot box.  The postal service cannot be trusted to deliver important letters in a timely manner, or deliver them at all.  (The popular illustration for this is, "Put $500 in an envelope and mail it to yourself."  Could you be sure you would get the money back?  If you repeat this process once a week, how long would it be until the money was lost, i.e., stolen?)  Postmarks can be forged as easily as ballots can be counterfeited.  Bogus ballots presumably can be inserted into the postal delivery system by those with the audacity to produce phony ballots.  I'm opposed to absentee voting, except for members of the armed services deployed overseas.

Why All the Secrecy and Fallacy?  [Scroll down]  Similarly, there were many videos showing seemingly fraudulent activities while processing and counting the votes during the 2020 presidential election that raised a reasonable doubt in the validity of the election's result.  Also, real-time statistical distributions of numeric data during the vote counting exhibited a considerable number of anomalies that could suggest systemic manipulations of the prescribed counting process.  Yet, rather than thoroughly investigating all the election's "red flags" noticed, recorded, and reported, those advocating the official version claimed, without providing proofs of their claims, that the 2020 presidential election was the safest and most fair and honest in American history and that fraud and cheating — if they did happen — were not "outcome-determinative." [...] If emotionally-loaded fallacious reasoning, threats, and name-calling are the best proofs of the official versions of the events discussed above, then perhaps they are not as correct as the officials and the so-called "mainstream" media insist.

The ridiculousness of signature matching for election integrity.  Signatures have always been used for two purposes: to show our authorization of a transaction, and as a means of identification.  That second function — identification — is fast becoming obsolete, at least with regard to voting.  Prior to the creation of Social Security, there was no national registry of citizens.  Signatures were all that we had and all that we needed for voter identification.  After all, we almost always voted in person, right in our own neighborhoods.  We now have unique ID numbers — courtesy of Social Security and other systems such as driver licensing bureaus and state identification systems.  We no longer need to rely on signatures for identification.  Furthermore, signatures don't work in this era of mail-in ballots.

Judge Makes Massive Absentee Ballot Ruling In Wisconsin.  A Waukesha judge ruled Wednesday that Wisconsin voters cannot cancel an absentee ballot that they have already mailed back just so they can cast a new ballot.  Former Republican Attorney General and Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Brad Schimel granted a permanent injunction "which will contain substantially the same terms" as the injunction he granted in October of 2022.  The suit was launched in September of 2022 by Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections on behalf of voter Nancy Koranic who claimed that the Wisconsin Elections Commission illegally told clerks in August of 2022 that so-called "ballot spoiling" was legal.  Both the Democratic National Committee and Rise, a left-leaning group, intervened on behalf of the state commission.  Schimel ruled that Wisconsin laws contain no language "that would authorize the scheme whereby a clerk spoils the ballot for the elector, at their request and sends out a new blank ballot for a do-over."

Feast Your Eyes On All This Election Fraud!  As I've been saying for some time, the rampant corruption of America's rigged elections is even more comically obvious in 2023 — than it was in 2021 and 2020.  Just look at last week's news from Pennsylvania, where a county official has resigned over the "failures" of the elections he supervised!  It's time to draw the monstrous outline of the rampant corruption of America's elections — and so I've compiled 58 articles on one page for my readers to digest.  The place to begin this story — the tale of how our national security state turned our constitutional republic into a shadow oligarchy — is at the beginning.  That's why I want you to start by reading about a young man who worked at a printing company named Robert J. Urosevich.  The year is 1974.  That's when an otherwise unremarkable salesman had one of history's worst ideas:  could a machine read an election ballot?  Unfortunately, Bob Urosevich would live long enough to find out.

Dem AG Unveils Indictment Against Republican Election Officials Who Pushed For Hand-Counting Ballots.  Arizona's Democratic attorney general announced today that a grand jury has decided to indict two election officials for conspiring to delay the certification of votes in their county over their desire to hand-count all election day and early ballots.  Peggy Judd and Terry Crosby, Republican county supervisors from Cochise County, were indicted by the state of Arizona on Nov. 29 on counts of conspiracy and interference with an election.  Judd and Crosby wanted to hand count ballots in their county, citing their distrust of voting machines, and delayed the certification of their county's election results over those concerns.

Court papers say ex-Virginia election official on trial 'altered election results' in 2020 election.  The former general registrar of Prince William County, Va., allegedly "altered election results" during the 2020 election, according to court documents recently obtained by Just the News.  However, the current general registrar says that his predecessor's alleged conduct didn't impact any election outcomes.  In a county where President Joe Biden received 54% of the vote in the 2020 presidential election to former President Donald Trump's 44%, an election official at the time allegedly "altered election results" in the state's reporting system, leading to three grand jury indictments last year.  In September 2022, former Prince William County general registrar Michele White was indicted by a grand jury on two felony counts alleging corrupt conduct as an election official and making a false statement, and one misdemeanor indictment of willful neglect of duty by an election officer.  White's jury trial is set to begin on Jan. 16, 2024, and go until Jan. 26.  White had abruptly resigned in 2021 without explanation.

Dr. Robert Epstein Launches 'America's Digital Shield' Exposing Big Tech Meddling in 2024 Elections.  Research psychologist Dr. Robert Epstein is launching America's Digital Shield, a website that exposes Big Tech meddling in the 2024 elections through real-time "ephemeral manipulation" that can shift millions of votes.  Epstein announced the release of a "public data dashboard" that shows how Big Tech giants like Google, Bing, and Yahoo are manipulating online content to influence votes in the elections, according to a press release sent to Breitbart News.  The new public dashboard, named America's Digital Shield can be viewed here.  The findings presented by Epstein, a Harvard-trained senior research psychologist at the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology (AIBRT), raise concerns about the integrity of the democratic process amid Big Tech corporations' ability to wield unparalleled amounts of power with regards to public consumption of online content.

Poll: 56 Percent Of Voters Believe Cheating Is Likely To Happen In 2024 Election.  More than half of American voters expect the highly consequential 2024 presidential election to be marred with cheating and fraud and believe mail-in voting impedes election integrity, according to a recently conducted survey.  "How likely is it that the outcome of the 2024 presidential election will be affected by cheating?" Rasmussen Reports asked 1,029 voters on Nov. 13 to Nov. 15.  Fifty-six percent of respondents believe cheating is likely to affect the election results while 31 percent anticipate election fraud is "very likely" to skew the outcome.  Additionally, the survey found a majority of voters believe mail-in ballots facilitate voter fraud.

The Left Conspires To Keep Election Fraud Quiet.  A Lawrence, Massachusetts voter who had been turned away from the polls on Election Day and told he had already voted found out he was the victim of fraud.  He checked the footage on the video camera outside his front door and saw that a woman had removed mail-in ballots from his mailbox.  He called the police.  It's happening in many places.  On Tuesday, Fight Voter Fraud, Inc., a nonprofit voter rights group, appeared in Connecticut Superior Court to demand the arrest of a woman alleged to have been caught on video committing mail-in ballot fraud in the 2019 Bridgeport Democratic mayoral primary and again in the 2023 primary.  The group, protesting that city officials pretend there's no problem, also called on the Connecticut legislature to appoint a special prosecutor.  A staggering 60% of likely voters nationwide consider election cheating a problem, according to Rasmussen Reports.  Yet the Left denies it's happening.  The Washington Post calls it a "myth" and a "fantasy offense."  Worst of all, the federal government is suppressing the evidence and censoring anyone who complains about election cheating.

Legalizing Ballot Fraud in Pennsylvania.  On November 22, 2023 it was reported that a federal court in Pennsylvania changed the legal requirements for counting mail-in ballots by county boards of elections.  When no-excuse mail-in balloting was permitted in Pennsylvania and elsewhere, we were told that such voting was secure and that safeguards would prohibit fraud.  Doubters and skeptics are forcefully reminded that the 2020 election was the "most secure in history."  Last week's court decision is one more example of the alleged safeguards being eroded.  One year earlier the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that all mail-in ballots must be dated and must be rejected by county boards of election if the date is invalid.  This week's ruling would change that requirement so that undated and misdated mail-in ballots must be counted.  Groups pushing for that change claim that the date on the ballot envelope is trivial.  Those claims are amplified by a compliant media that obscures the issue.

Pennsylvania Voters Reach 'Peak of Mistrust' After Voting Machines Glitch for Second Time.  Pennsylvania voters are doubting the integrity of local elections in the swing county of Northampton after issues with touchscreen voting devices arose on the most recent Election Day.  The glitches were similar to those seen in the county's 2019 judges race.  Election officials are scrambling to ensure trust in the voting system as voters and local leaders alike are sounding the alarm, a Saturday Politico report revealed.  Northampton used Election Systems & Software touchscreen machines for the first time in 2019 and saw a "programming glitch" that caused a significant "undercount" of votes in the local judge's race, the publication reported.  Then, on November 7, 2023, suspicion grew when voters discovered that their printouts meant to confirm their votes on the devices did not match their choices for two down-ballot judges races.

Oliver Stone shocks Bill Maher by telling him he thinks the 2020 election was stolen from Trump.  As usual, Maher brings up the sheep talking points, "But all the lawsuits were dismissed and laughed out of court."  What Bill and many other people with negative IQ don't realize is that the majority of the cases were not dismissed after discovery & evidentiary hearings they were dismissed on procedural grounds (such as lack of standing, jurisdiction, mootness, ripeness, etc).  In other words, the courts failed the Constitution by refusing to hear the election challenges.  Of the cases that were heard on the merits, Republicans and/or Trump prevailed in two-thirds of them.  Since the 2020 election, it's also important to note that many courts have made critical decisions such as the decision from a Wisconsin judge that ruled ballot drop boxes were illegally implemented and used in 2020, the decision from the Georgia Supreme Court that concluded voters had standing to challenge the results of their own elections (duhh).  The fraud in 2020 was rampant and anyone who denies it lacks intelligence.  [Video clip]

Chester County Wipes the Protected Count From Voting Machines.  The Voter Services department in Chester County, Pennsylvania has wiped the "protected counts" off their voting machines, raising questions about their motives.  This unexpected act was revealed to observers while voting machines were undergoing normal "logic and accuracy" testing in preparation for the upcoming November 7, 2023 Municipal Election.  As explained by Karen Barsoum, Chester County Director of Voter Services, the protected count on a voting machine should be the total number of ballots put into the machine over its lifetime, which accumulates up like a car's odometer.  When thinking of a car, you can reset the trip odometer, but should not be able to roll back the lifetime odometer.  Since the protected counts on voting machines are supposed to be "protected," hence the name, why would the county eliminate this history?  Why would county elections officials not want anyone to be able to see on the machine itself how many ballots went into it previously?

Wrongthink to Avoid.  [Scroll down]  On the topic of useful idiots, our partisan, Big Government bum-kissing media tells us the 2020 election was the most secure and above-board election ever.  Never mind that the Democrats unilaterally engineered a million ways to cheat electorally, and that the courts and the feds brazenly refused to investigate any of it.  Disregard that President Trump and other Republicans were comfortably ahead on Election Night, only to suffer mysterious setbacks in the following days or weeks.  Although it had never been easier to cheat electorally than in 2020, our thoroughly despicable media informs us no one cheated!  It was a miracle, an article of faith that you'd better take to heart if you know what's good for you.

Elections are rigged in Idaho.  Now, we're not talking about hordes of dead people being conscripted to vote in the most recent elections, or vote-by-mail programs wherein certain ballots never arrive, or ballots that favor a particular candidate show up at the last minute.  We're talking about a system that is designed to favor leftist candidates in local odd-year elections.  Conservatives didn't do well in the Nov. 7 general election because the system is rigged against them.  It's a system that was designed by the state Legislature and maintained through the expansion of government.  Idaho Freedom Foundation President Wayne Hoffman looked over the latest election results and provides clarity about why Tuesday's elections predictably favored leftist candidates and how the system could be set up to be more fair in the future.  There's also a government spending angle that deserves consideration as well.

The Errors, The Lie, and The Cover-Up in Georgia's 2020 Election — Part I.  After the 2020 Election a Risk Limiting Audit (RLA) was carried out by Georgia's Secretary of State's (SOS's) Office.  The results of this exercise confirmed the 2020 Election results.  However, thanks to the efforts of Georgian Joseph Rossi, 36 errors were found in the Fulton County data in the RLA report posted on the SOS website.  Rossi doggedly went after those in authority in the state to review his data.  He was turned down and ignored numerous times.  But eventually after a series of events, Rossi was able to get these errors in front of members of Governor Kemp's office.  As a result of Rossi's work, the Georgia State Elections Board (SEB) initiated an investigation into the Fulton County data from the RLA report.  This investigation was labeled SEB2021-181.  Eventually the SEB identified violations and errors in the recounts of the 2020 Election in Fulton County.

Obama-Appointed Judge Rules in Favor of Those Challenging Voting Machines.  Not only will a lawsuit against the state of Georgia regarding its election security measures go forward, but a judge said in her ruling that the "evidence does not suggest that the Plaintiffs are conspiracy theorists of any variety."  The only way to make that any better would be if this judge were appointed by, say, former President Barack Obama.  And lo and behold, she was!  In a 135-page ruling issued Nov. 10, U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg of the Northern District of Georgia allowed a lawsuit from the Coalition for Good Governance to go forward, noting in her decision that the issue might be better decided outside of courtrooms.

6 Bizarre Examples of How Voter Registration Fraud Happens.  [#5]  In 2021, police reported catching Zul Mirza Mohamed — a candidate for mayor of Carrollton, Texas — in the act of stuffing envelopes with Dallas County absentee ballot applications.  But his activities allegedly ran even deeper.  Investigators determined the candidate forged at least 84 voter registration forms.  The Texas Attorney General's Office charged him with 84 counts of mail ballot fraud.

Argentina managed to count all 30 million of its ballots by midnight.  One thing Argentina did right during its election Sunday which saw the election of Javier Milei to the presidency was to get all its ballots counted by midnight.  That's the sort of thing we don't see in the U.S. anymore, now that election night has become election month, raising very valid suspicions among voters about fraud. [...] Long and extended counting periods are open doors to electoral fraud.  That's true whether there is fraud or not, because the extended time window gives certain observers time to figure out how many more ballots are needed for their party or candidate to win the race, and then produce those ballots to ensure a just-over-the-line victory.  In forensic accounting, as one commentator noted, when fraud is sought, one indicator of it is that the accounting system has been made as messy, complicated, and unintelligible as possible.  That's how investigators know there's likely to be something hidden to enable and conceal fraud.  Sound like any elections you know?

Mail ballot security is under nationwide assault.  The Left loves to tout universal mail voting.  Liberal enclaves like California, Hawaii, and Oregon have implemented it, while activists push aggressively to impose mail-in voting on Americans.  But even as they push it, despite repeated instances of fraud, the Left simultaneously attacks any efforts to make vulnerable mail voting more secure.  Indeed, the Left holds outright disdain for even minimal safeguards for mail ballots.  Right now, the Left's nationwide assault on election security is playing out primarily in the courts.  Any obligation to provide proof that the person returning the ballot is the correct person will be challenged.  They are fighting common sense laws in Texas, Georgia, Wisconsin, Arizona, Michigan, and countless other states.  On Friday, the most recent battle played out in the Kansas Supreme Court.  There, Marc Elias, the Left's primary litigator/tweeter, and his team fought to eliminate two utterly routine mail ballot security measures passed by the Kansas Legislature.

Ranked-Choice Voting Advocates Are Forced To Lie About 'Fairness' To Get Voters On Board.  States and localities are finding out in real-time how terrible ranked-choice voting (RCV) is for their respective elections.  From Alaska to Virginia, the leftist-backed election system gaining traction throughout the country is leading to undesirable election outcomes and confusion among voters.  Under RCV, often dubbed "rigged-choice voting" by its critics, voters rank candidates in order of preference.  If no candidate receives more than 50 percent of first-choice votes in the first round of voting, the last-place finisher is eliminated, and his votes are reallocated to the voter's second-choice candidate.  Despite the many failures associated with its use, RCV proponents are searching for ways to deceive voters into adopting the system for their local and state elections across the nation.  A polling memo obtained by The Federalist shows exactly how they intend to do it.

Court: Unless Congress Clears Up The Voting Rights Act, Only The AG Can Enforce Section 2.  Afederal appellate court upheld a lower court's decision dismissing an NAACP challenge to Alabama's 2021 redistricting plan on Monday, holding that the advocacy group could not sue under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA).  Rather, according to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, only the U.S. attorney general could maintain a lawsuit under that section of the VRA.  The decision left Democrats and the left-wing press deriding the decision as rolling back "increased minority power and representation in American politics," while Republicans and conservative media outlets praised the decision as protecting election-integrity efforts.  In reality, though, the opinion concerned solely a question of statutory interpretation and the role of the courts in creating claims omitted by Congress.

The Voting Machines Need to Go.  The voting machines America is currently using need to go.  They breed mistrust, and there's a reason for that:  They are not trustworthy.  They are also inherently undemocratic.  No, I'm not talking about 2020 — well, not as such.  I'm talking about all the past elections since we started using these machines, as well as all the future ones until we come to our senses.  Let's do the second problem first.  Here's a question that pretty much answers itself:  Can a system be democratic if the people are not permitted to know how their votes are counted?  It's not a democratic system unless the people have freedom to vote and have some understanding of how their votes are counted.  So why are we using machines that have secret coding to count the votes?  That's one reason why the voting machines need to go:  Their coding is kept secret.  Get rid of those machines, and replace them with paper and pen, or with machines that use open-source software.

Santa Ana, California, May Give Voting Rights to Illegal Aliens.  Voters in Santa Ana, California, a deep-blue city in Orange County, will soon decide whether or not to give local voting rights to potentially tens of thousands of foreign nationals, including illegal aliens.  Next year, during the November 5 election, voters in Santa Ana will be asked whether or not they want to approve giving the right to vote in municipal elections to foreign nationals, including illegal aliens, which would then go into effect by 2028.

Legitimacy.  In the era of great pretending this letter ranks at the top of the 2023 hubris scale.  Having attained her position using ballot manipulation and collection, the fraudulently installed AG in Arizona, Attorney General Kris Mayes, is threatening to arrest anyone who does a hand recount of ballots in Mohave County.

How Joe Biden Gets 81 Million Votes.  In the video below, Dan Bongino talks about one of the ways Democrats win elections illicitly and get 81 million votes for someone who is visibly deranged.  Bongino reviews an article by Jason Cohen at The Daily Caller in August.  It is the reason that people should not support mail-in balloting.  Republicans always lose in the mail-in ballots.  Bongino specifically addressed The Voter Registration Project, a "Democrat get out the vote machine."  In this scheme, they don't really care if after you register you're the one who voted under your registration as long as they can get a ballot out to you and that ballots returned."  This is how the cheating starts.  Then, after they're done with all the cheating they stop people from talking about it.  It's a way to keep [it] going.  That's why they needed COVID.  [Video clip]

Georgia's State Election Board Now Admits To Violations In 2020 Election!  The Georgia State Election Board has scheduled a meeting for December 19th at the Georgia State Capitol.  It now admits that "violations" in the 2020 election have been found — duplicate ballots and missing ballot images — after being "investigated by experienced investigators."  How many people are going to show up for this meeting?  My bet:  plenty more than the corrupt politicians in Georgia would like.

Kari Lake Lawsuit Accuses Maricopa County Of 'Unlawful' Certification of Voting Machines.  Republican Kari Lake's legal team filed a brief at the Arizona Court of Appeals Tuesday arguing Maricopa County broke the law by falsely stating voting machines were certified prior to the November 2022 general election when she was a candidate for governor.  In May, Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson ruled against Lake concluding she had not provided sufficient evidence that Arizona election law was not followed during the contest, which Democrat Katie Hobbs won by less than one percent of the vote.  Lake then appealed the ruling in June.

Kari Lake's Attorneys File New Brief & Petition to Transfer Election Case to AZ Supreme Court.  Attorneys for Kari Lake have made two more filings in their ongoing fight to overturn the stolen Arizona gubernatorial election, including a Petition for Transfer to send her appeal directly to the Arizona Supreme Court.  The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on the evidence of illegalities presented in Kari Lake's lawsuit.  Newly discovered evidence shows that machine failures affecting tens if not hundreds of thousands of voters on election day were likely caused by intentional misconduct.  Incorrect machine settings, printer settings, and ballot paper sizes utilized by Maricopa County caused machines at 60% of voting locations to fail on the day that Republicans turned out 3:1 to vote for Kari Lake and Republican candidates.

There's more going on with the Georgia ballot case and attorney resignations than you're being told.  As you've probably heard, in a surprising development, two defense attorneys abruptly resigned from the Georgia ballot case.  The case surrounds the accusation that thousands of GA ballots were actually counterfeit.  So, why did the two defense attorneys jump ship like that?  An IT expert named Kevin Kelton suggests that the county might be gearing up to admit they've destroyed the ballots in question.  If true, this puts Fulton County in a heap of legal trouble.  Destroying evidence during a case often signals guilt.  But there's more at stake here — are we witnessing a coverup?

Boston Democrats Look to Extend Voting Rights to Foreign Nationals.  Democrats on the Boston City Council are looking to extend local voting rights to foreign nationals in the United States on visas, green cards, and other forms of legal status.  Councilwoman Kendra Lara (D) introduced the measure, which would allow foreign nationals on green cards, visas, and other forms of legal status to vote in Boston municipal elections.  The measure is likely to gain widespread support from the council, which is made up of 12 Democrats.

And Now, a Few Words from Election '24.  Do you see me?  We haven't met yet, but we will. [...] As I see it, any interruption to Trump's advance toward the presidency is not off-limits for this deep state.  On the other hand, if I'm able to proceed as normal, what about election fraud?  Election '20 underwent the most serious abuse in terms of election integrity.  Am I to believe that we won't see things like the use of the judicial system to subvert the law or the illegal use of drop boxes?  I have already noticed that this past Election Day, voters in 18 states had issues, and there were "gas leaks" for Pennsylvania, Kentucky and Texas.

When Citizens Have Better Computer Technology Than Their Government — Minnesota Investigation finds 172,000+ Voter Issues.  For the first time in history, citizens have better computer technology than their government.  Today's video of Minnesota voter rolls shows, using Fractal technology, that citizens can identify anomalies in government voter rolls that existed for over 100 years — eluding all the obsolete technology Minnesota could bring to bear. [...] Voters living in UPS offices.  Voters living in convenience stores.  Voters living in an 800 square foot house with 15 other adult voters — which the health regulations would never allow — we show these in video after video.  In 2021, voter integrity teams in 12 states started using Fractal — and as you can see in today's video — Minnesota — Fractal makes a mockery of the Minnesota voter rolls.

Congress on a Hamster Wheel.  In nine states, ballots are still sent to everyone, regardless of need, request, or a pulse.  It bodes poorly for America's salvation that two-thirds of Democrats and half of Republicans have indicated a strong likelihood that they will vote by mail rather than drag themselves to a polling station.  The battle cry to count every vote is still a call to arms for digging up tranches of uncounted ballots in the wee hours and days after the polls close, culminating in sudden reversals of political fortune that favor Democrats.  Drop boxes, the dumpster of choice for illegal ballot deposits by political operatives called mules, continue to be utilized in at least 32 states, with little to no federal prosecutions of known offenders.  Although in receipt of credible whistleblower and video evidence, the FBI has downplayed or contested egregious incidents of hundreds of thousands of ballots crossing state lines and unmonitored after hours ballot counting at polling stations.  A three-year investigation undertaken by the Postal Service recently proved the FBI wrong in one case; however, no further action has been taken.

Video Released Showing Georgia's Ruby Freeman Saying She Doesn't Want to Talk with "WHITE GUYS".  Ruby Freeman, who was one of the individuals who stuck around on Election Night 2020 in Fulton County Georgia's State Farm Arena and shoved ballots through machines multiple times was caught on video in a racist rant complaining about "white guys."

A Trump-Tucker ticket?  A Trump Tucker ticket for the presidency in 2024.  Just imagine it. [...] An unashamed and without apology Trump-Tucker ticket might just be the political platform and personalities that save the American empire from the dustpan of history.  Now, if there is election interference and voter fraud like there was in 2020, it will not matter.  If in the toss-up states, they stop counting the votes at 11:30 p.m. and after everyone goes home, start up again at 2:30 in the morning, it won't matter.  If Fulton County, Georgia counts Biden votes multiple times, it won't matter.  If the upper Midwest states use Zuckerbucks again, it won't matter.  If the management and upper echelons at Fox News appear to be willing participants, it won't matter.  If state election officials in Pennsylvania are once again allowed to purposely ignore their very own state legislated election laws, it won't matter.  If 2024 election tabulations are counted just as they were in the Purple States in 2020, it won't matter.

Systemic voting fraud in America?  In recent years, concerns about voter fraud have grown significantly, with many individuals asserting that there are systemic issues within the American electoral system.  One striking example cited by those raising concerns about voter fraud is the Kentucky gubernatorial election, which looked like a close race, with the Democratic nominee, Andy Beshear, defeating Republican incumbent Matt Bevin by just over 5,000 votes, or 0.37%.  This made it the closest gubernatorial election in Kentucky since 1899 by votes and the closest ever by percentage.  The discrepancy in the voting patterns in this election raises eyebrows and sparks suspicions among those alleging voter fraud.  While Kentucky Republicans voted overwhelmingly for their party's candidates for other statewide offices, such as Attorney General and Secretary of State, they simultaneously chose a Democrat for the governor's position.  This divergent behavior among voters, especially within the same party, appears perplexing and contradictory.

Election Fraud Deniers Are The Real Threat To Democracy.  If you are like us, you're sick and tired of being labeled a "denier" any time you challenge the left's agenda.  Don't believe the earth will be destroyed unless we all live like cavemen?  You are a climate denier!  You worry about side effects from an experimental new vaccine.  Vaccine denier!  And if you suspect that election fraud is a real problem, you're an election denier!  The problem is that the "deniers" keep turning out to be right.  The latest example came out of Bridgeport, Connecticut, earlier this month, when a judge overturned the primary election for mayor because of an "unprecedented" volume of evidence showing ballot fraud, including surveillance footage exposing supporters of the incumbent stuffing stacks of absentee ballots into drop boxes.  Even CNN, which can always be relied on to dismiss election fraud as a myth, was forced to admit that "the Connecticut case does highlight the potential vulnerabilities with mail-in voting."  Just as a reminder, this is exactly what "election deniers" have been saying since 2020, when Democrats used COVID as an excuse to implement widespread mail-in voting schemes across the country.

Seattle Doesn't Expect To Have All Votes Counted Until 3 Weeks After Election Day.  The Seattle City Council general election results have not been announced nearly one week after election day as the elections committee continues to count votes.  Election results will not be made official until Nov. 28, although the King County Elections (KCE) will continue to update the unofficial results daily until all votes have been accounted for, according to the KCE website.  Most voters could only submit their ballot through the mail or at a drop-box location, meaning many ballots will not be received until days after the official election day.  [Tweet]  Only three out of the seven original council members up for reelection ran in the 2023 race — Democrats Tammy Morales, Dan Strauss and Andrew Lewis — leaving four seats open to newcomers, KIRO 7, a local news network, reported.  Initial reports showed that the incumbents were all trailing in their races, but Morales and Strauss quickly gained more votes as mail-in ballots trickled in on the days following the race.

Federal Judge Sets Trial over Dominion Voting Systems' Vulnerabilities in Georgia.  The question of whether Georgia's electronic voting system has major cybersecurity flaws that amount to a violation of voters' constitutional rights to cast their votes and have those votes accurately counted is set to be decided at trial early next year.  U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg issued a 135-page ruling late Friday in a long-running lawsuit filed by activists who want the state to ditch its electronic voting machines in favor of hand-marked paper ballots.  The state had asked the judge to rule in its favor based on the arguments and facts in the case without going to trial, but Totenberg found there are "material facts in dispute" that must be decided at trial.  She set a Jan. 9 bench trial, which means there will be no jury.  But she also suggested that the two sides work together to reach a resolution.

Is This The Definitive Proof That The Elections In 2020 Were Stolen?  Italian Intelligence along with U.S. sworn testimony confirms the 2020 U.S. Presidential Election was stolen from President Trump.  Satellites being controlled from Italy added votes to Biden to defeat Trump.  Joe Biden is not the lawful U.S. President.  Leonardo Aerospace, Defense and Security along with a U.S. State Department employee, the CIA, Italian Citizens and a Dominion Employee were all involved in the fraudulent stealing of the U.S. 2020 Presidential Election.  Joe Biden, once installed as the unlawful President of the United States, orders Mateo Renzi the Former Prime Minister of Italy to take down the current Prime Minister of Italy Guiseppe Conte.  This is done by paying off Conte with millions of dollars in cash to keep him quiet.  U.S. Federal Prosecutor John Durham has in his possession documents of evidence that shows Barack Obama illegally moved $400 Million dollars in cash on pallets through the Dubai Embassy with the help of the Italians.  They stole $400 Million dollars from America and put the money into a Merrill Lynch account in Geneva Switzerland.

It's not about Israel:  We are the target.  [Scroll down]  But there is an approach that allows you to cut through the hype and see what's really happening.  It's called "Occam's Razor."  The best definition is "The simplest explanation is usually the best one."  Doesn't that make sense?  Truth rarely needs 2,400 words to explain itself.  Take election fraud as an example.  On one side you hear that Republicans have embarked on a vast conspiracy to deprive all minorities of their rights to vote.  For some reason, black people are unable to get proper identification.  Therefore, we must eliminate the need to present proper identification when voting.  Voting is too inconvenient, so we must allow voting to go on for a month prior to each election, and we must mail absentee ballots everywhere, even if they go to the wrong address.  We must allow others to collect ballots and rely on them to be delivered honestly on our behalf.  All changes to election laws favor less security controls.  The other side is simpler:  Almost all voting errors favor the Democrat.  Almost all recounts favor the Democrat.  Democrats are cheating.  One hundred words vs. 16 words.  The most likely conclusion is that Democrats are cheating.  If incompetence is involved, the errors would cancel each other out.

Election Fraud Is Real — And It Needs To Be Fixed Before 2024.  On Nov. 1, Connecticut Judge William Clark overturned the results of the Bridgeport mayoral primary, calling video evidence of potential fraud "shocking."  Wanda Geter-Pataky, the vice chair of the Bridgeport Democratic Town Committee, appears to have been caught on video stuffing handfuls of ballots into a drop box outside City Hall.  On Oct. 25, in Paterson, New Jersey, the sitting president of the City Council, Alex Mendez, was charged with personally collecting large numbers of mail-in ballots in his district, destroying ballots that did not favor him and replacing them with ballots that falsely chose him.  New Jersey's Attorney General Matthew Platkin states that Mendez "personally observed from his wife's vehicle as a large, heavy bag, completely filled with ballots, was emptied into the Haledon postal box prior to the election."  On Nov. 2, in Springfield, Massachusetts, mayoral candidate Justin Hurst was nailed by city election officials for allegedly buying votes during early voting.  Videotape shows individuals being dropped off in black Suburbans and Expeditions, and entering City Hall to vote.

Lawyers for Fulton County Withdraw from Case over Missing Ballots.  Two high-powered criminal-defense attorneys have withdrawn from a 2020 election-fraud case in Fulton County, Georgia, prompting speculation that things look bleak for the fraud deniers, Becker News reported.  Attorneys Donald F. Samuel and Amanda R. Clark Palmer, who were defending the county, motioned to withdraw themselves from the Favorito v.  Wan case dealing with the fallout from the increasingly-probable election fraud in Georgia during the 2020 election.  Although Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger adamantly denied any widespread mishandling of ballots and refused to investigate claims to the contrary following the election, considerable evidence has since revealed the extent to which left-wing activist groups appeared to interfere, likely delivering the state to Democrat candidates — including Joe Biden, as well as Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, by razor-thin margins.

Why Are Fulton Attorneys Leaving A Case? — And Where Are the Ballots??  Donald F. Samuel and Amanda R. Clark, attorneys for Aaron Johnson and Teresa Crawford, have filed a motion to withdraw themselves from the case of Garland Favorito et al v. Alex Wan, et al.  A key issue in the case are 150,000 Fulton County absentee / mail-in ballots some of which are reportedly without fold creases and which did not appear to be hand marked.  When a voter marks and completes an absentee ballot, it is then folded and placed in a sealed envelope to submission or mailing to the County election department.  Ballots without creases or those appearing to be marked other than by hand would raise questions about the validity of the ballot.  Sources state that Fulton County has responded that the ballots in question are still under seal, however given the County's poor track record on transparency, the question of the condition, availability and number of retained ballots remains unknown.  These ballots are once again in the spotlight since Harrison Floyd's defense council is seeking to have them unsealed in preparing their defense to answer the charges made by Fani Willis.  Floyd is one of 19 defendants including President Trump, indicted by Fani Willis in what many are calling "prosecutorial misconduct."

Washington State Vote Counting Stopped by Antifa Threats.  Yesterday the news came out that a number of vote-counting stations in Washington State were temporarily closed when envelopes containing white powder instead of ballots were opened.  At least some of them contained fentanyl. [...] Obviously, nobody can be certain at this point who sent the flyers and fentanyl, but the claim that there was no obvious political motive seems something of a stretch.  But this is Washington State, where the politicians bend over backward to appease Left-wing radicals and dismiss the violence they inflict.  Had these been Nazi symbols there would be press conferences screaming about Donald Trump and MAGA, but Antifa disrupting elections is no big deal at all.  They like Trans people after all.  They must be good.  Transtifa has a history of violence, and the most common reaction is to blame the victims for inciting it.  Here you can't do that because the victims are government workers, so they do the next best thing:  cover up who did it.  It's appalling, but it works.  Propaganda works.  Memory holing inconvenient facts works.  Especially because the media is in on it.

What other tabulating machines have this problem?  Name one!
Voting Machine 'Error' Flipped Ballots In Pennsylvania Election:  Report.  A "coding error" was to blame for a voting machine flipping votes in a local election in Pennsylvania earlier this week, a mistake that will likely prompt new criticism of such machines and a call to return to paper ballots.  "A coding error in Northampton County, Pennsylvania's voting machines, caused a significant issue during a recent election.  The glitch resulted in votes being incorrectly flipped on a ballot question concerning the retention of two state judges," Resist the Mainstream reported.  The malfunction affected votes for candidates running for the Pennsylvania Superior Court, Judges Jack Panella and Victor Stabile, according to The Associated Press.  Votes marked "yes" to retain one judge and "no" for the other were switched on printouts from touchscreen ballot machines, County Executive Lamont McClure said, per the AP.

The Editor says...
If there really was a "coding error," it would have been found during the testing done by the state after the machines were delivered.  The machines were tested, weren't they?

Threats to the United States now at a Whole New Level.  The deep-state plan may include allowing terrorist attacks in the U.S. homeland to justify the imposition of a lockdown and then a shutdown of the November 2024 election.  That is unequivocally not an option.  America has lived through many wars, including the Civil War, which brought unprecedented destruction to the southern states — and we never considered delaying or cancelling elections.  Instead, we must use the opportunity of troubled times to defend the homeland and ensure we have honest elections no matter what the circumstances.

VP of Customer Operations of Voting Machine Company that 'Flipped' Votes Says "It Was a Human Error Someone From Our Team Programed the Election".  As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, several voting machines in multiple districts across Northampton County had to issue emergency paper ballots due to "votes getting flipped and not recording properly" on their voting machines.  Shortly after the error occurred Northampton County Executive Lamont McClure was clearly frustrated about the problems at the polls and told Lehigh Valley News "I'm livid at the election folks and ES&S."  ES&S (Election Systems & Software) ExpressVoteXL machines were used in Northampton County elections.  Shortly after the machine errors occurred Northhampton County held an emergency press conference and invited Linda Bennett the Senior Vice President of Customer Operations at Election Systems & Software to explain why votes were switched in the retention race between Judge Jack Panella and Judge Victor Stabile for the Pennsylvania Superior Court.

Voting Machines Flip Votes Causing Panic On Election Day, No One Trusts Elections.  [Video clip only.]

Stop Drinking the Political Kool-Aid, America:  Voting Will Not Save Us.  We are one year out from the 2024 presidential election and as usual, the American people remain eager to be persuaded that a new president in the White House can solve the problems that plague us.  Yet what is being staged is not an election.  It's a con game, [...] We're being duped into believing that this mockery of a choice between two candidates who are equally unfit for office actually translates to having some say in how the government is run.  To the contrary, this particular con game is part of a long-running, elaborate scam to keep the Deep State in power and leave the populace deluded, distracted and incapable of demanding accountability, transparency and decency from the government and its cohorts.

Voting machines down in Pennsylvania; votes getting flipped.  Multiple polling locations in Pennsylvania experienced voting machine issues Tuesday morning, forcing election officials to offer voters provisional ballots.  According to Lehigh Valley News, a local publication, the county's ES&S ExpressVote XL machines experienced programming errors that caused votes to flip.  The Northampton County Elections Office stated, "It appears that when a voter selects a 'Yes' or a 'No' for one of the candidates for retention to the Pennsylvania Superior Court, the selection is recorded on the paper ballot and on the machine for the other candidate."  "The issue is limited to the retention of Superior Court Judges and is only an issue when recording the votes for when a voter selected a 'Yes' for one candidate and a 'No' for another candidate," the statement added.

Voting Machines Down in Several Districts in Pennsylvania Due to "Votes Getting Flipped".  Election Day got off to a rough start in several districts in Northampton County, Pennsylvania.  Lehigh Valley News has reported several voting machines in multiple districts across Northampton County are down due to "votes getting flipped and not recording properly."  Voting machines went down in Palmer Township, Bethany Wesleyan Church in Lehigh Township, College Hill Presbyterian Church in Easton, and at the Allen Township Fire Hall.  The voting machines only flipped votes in the retention race between Judge Jack Panella and Judge Victor Stabile for the Pennsylvania Superior Court.

Early Voting Is Against The Law.  Not long ago, Election Day found hundreds of millions of Republicans, Democrats, and independents with heads full of knowledge about candidates and causes.  Beyond the infirm and the absent, Americans walked with dignity into their precincts at schools, firehouses, and libraries.  And on one glorious autumn day, we decided en masse — who would lead us in Congress and the White House.  Today, the same crowd that cannot tell a man from a woman has demolished this beautiful picture, too.  Election Day teeters on extinction.  Americans now vote across Election Quarter.  Elections start about Labor Day and end around Black Friday.  Not good!  But this need not be.  And Americans who want to restore Election Day have a powerful weapon:  The Law.  Federal elections are required to occur on "the Tuesday next, after the first Monday in November."  This date is not based on something that Mark Twain whispered to Ulysses S. Grant.  It is neither optional nor suggested.  According to 2 US Code § 7, that Tuesday "is established as the day for the election... of Representatives and Delegates to the Congress."

Three new cases of election fraud.  Election fraud is making headlines in three Democratic states — Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New Jersey. [...] Democrat Henrilynn Ibezim, a former candidate for Plainfield mayor in 2021, found himself charged with "election fraud and other crimes."  These charges include:
  •   Election fraud.
  •   Criminal attempt to commit false registration or transfer.
  •   Tampering with public records.
  •   Forgery.
  •   Hindering apprehension or prosecution.
  •   Falsifying or tampering with records.
These charges stem from an Office of Public Integrity and Accountability's (OPIA) Corruption Bureau investigation.  Ibezim allegedly directed associates and campaign volunteers to complete blank voter registration applications based on forms with voter information he provided to the group.  He then allegedly brought a large white garbage bag filled with nearly 1,000 of these fake voter-registration applications to the post office to mail to the Union County Commissioner of Registration.  The investigation into Ibezim fits into the larger context of election fraud in New Jersey in several ways: [...]

Pennsylvania's 2020 Election Was Invalid — Says Who?  Pennsylvania has a unique voter registration system, called SURE.  Like every other voter registration system, the SURE system comprises all legally registered voters in the state.  However, it also includes a subcategory of registered voters:  the ones who actually voted in the last election (in this case, the 2020 election).  Because of that special subcategory (registered voters who actually voted), it is possible to compare the total ballots cast in the 2020 election to the total voters who participated in that election.  The numbers must match because there has to be a one-to-one relationship between voters and ballots.  If parity does not exist, something is wrong.  Verity Vote (V.V.) is a Pennsylvania data analysis firm headed by Heather Honey.  For the 2020 election, V.V. prepared a careful and detailed comparison of voters who participated in the election vs. ballots cast.  Here are the V.V. findings:
  •   When PA certified its election on November 24, 2020, there were about 202,000 more ballots cast than identifiable voters.  In other words, there was a large voter deficit.
  •   In late January 2021, when the 67 PA counties finally posted all voter information into the SURE registration system, there was still a voter deficit — about 121,000.

The Noncitizen Voting Scam.  If you think offering migrants luxury hotel rooms, free meals, laundry service, transportation, health care, and immigration lawyers is excessive, just wait until they can vote.  Democrats are pushing to allow noncitizens to vote in local elections in New York City, Boston, and other municipalities, and statewide in Connecticut.  The number of migrants pouring across the southern border has hit a record high, according to data released on Oct. 21.  Illegal immigrant crossings soared 21 percent over the previous month.  On a yearly basis, the figure hit 2.48 million.  Democrats may feign shock and distress.  Don't be fooled.  Democrats see these newcomers as their guarantee of a permanent voting majority in local elections.  Not years from now, after the newcomers become citizens.  Right now.

Why Democrats will not close the border.  In keeping with the Biden administration's apparent indifference to the flood of child-trafficking and opioids plaguing our country, there is no indication that it is wavering on its lackadaisical border policy.  Why is the porous border so important to Democrats?  In some respects, migrants are treated better than citizens in similar economic straits.  More to the point, how many voting migrants will it take to turn the country irrevocably blue?

One judge in Connecticut shows how to do it when faced with election fraud.  If you've watched Dinesh D'Souza's 2000 Mules, he makes one overarching point:  In multiple contested election precincts in America, people were caught stuffing all the ballot boxes made possible through COVID.  They were caught either directly, with video footage showing them stuffing those boxes, or indirectly, with cell phone data showing them making repeated trips between Democrat non-profits and drop boxes.  Trump supporters tried to bring this evidence before the courts, but judge after judge, either because of political ideology or cowardice (I'm talking to you, United States Supreme Court justices), refused to touch those claims.  And after too much time had passed, the egg seemingly couldn't be unscrambled.  One judge in Connecticut, though, reversed a local election, showing that it can be done.  He did so because he was confronted with "shocking" evidence of election fraud through dropbox stuffing.

A Connecticut Democrat Judge Has Overturned the Bridgeport Mayoral Primary Results and Ordered a New Election.  In a significant turn of events, a Democratic judge in Connecticut has made a game-changing decision by overturning the results of the Bridgeport Democratic mayoral primary.  Superior Court Judge William Clark has ordered a new election to take place, citing compelling video evidence of election fraud as the foundation for his ruling.  This decision carries implications that extend far beyond Bridgeport, as it establishes a precedent for addressing mail-in ballot fraud in ongoing and future cases.  Back in September, The Gateway Pundit reported on an explosive video released by mayoral candidate John Gomes' campaign.  This video presented damning evidence of election fraud during the Bridgeport Democratic primary, prompting the Bridgeport Police Department to launch an investigation into potential misconduct.

Connecticut Judge Throws Out Election Results and Orders New Primary After "Shocking" Evidence of Democrat Ballot Fraud.  In Bridgeport, Connecticut, State Judge William Clark has thrown out the results of the September Democrat primary election and ordered a new primary to be scheduled and conducted.  The issue was ballot harvesting and ballot fraud — both violations of state law.  The Judge reviewed CCTV footage showing Wanda Geter-Pataky, vice chair of the Bridgeport Democratic Town Committee and operations specialist for the city, and Eneida Martinez, a former City Council member, working to support the party approved candidate.  Both Ms Geter-Pataky and Ms Martinez participated in absentee ballot fraud, ballot harvesting and ballot stuffing at drop boxes.  Both women invoked the Fifth Amendment when confronted as witnesses by the judge.

Bridgeport Ballot Fraud Update:  Judge Orders New Democratic Primary For Mayor In Gomes Case.  Superior Court Judge William Clark has ordered a new primary in the shocking case of ballot fraud brought forth by Bridgeport Mayoral candidate John Gomes.  Judge Clark said that the totality of evidence presented was "sufficient to demonstrate that a substantial number of ballots were handled improperly in violation of mandatory provisions of Connecticut law."  The municipal election is scheduled for November 7th, but the November 1st ruling requires a new democrat mayoral primary within 10 days, meaning the primary could conceivably happen after the municipal election on November 7th.  How that will impact election day in Bridgeport remains unclear at this time.  In theory, both Ganim and Gomes would appear on the ballot, Ganim as a Democrat and Gomes as an Independent.

Consequences of American Communism.  [Scroll down]  Ken Paxton, the Texas Attorney General was one of the several Attorneys General who sued to have the election nullified.  He sued the Biden Administration over the border issues and what happened?  A Bush-supported group in Texas convinced enough people in the state House to impeach him largely because Paxton had filed over 900 election fraud cases just within Texas.  That was a sin, because it looked bad for their "no evidence of voter fraud" narrative.  Then, the House passed a bill to keep him from trying election cases.  That's how it's done and to keep him from pursuing it any further, they tried to have him removed.  This was all at the behest of the Bushes in Dallas and they continue to use their globalist backers and whatever other means available to stop Paxton from pursuing the issues the people of Texas, and the country, care about.

Ranked-Choice Voting Is The Monster Under The Bed Of American Elections.  Democrats are using ranked-choice voting (RCV) to benefit their party and disenfranchise voters in elections across the country, a new report provided to The Federalist found.  Published by the Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA), the new analysis unearths how Democrats use the complexities associated with RCV to diminish confidence in elections among U.S. voters.  Under RCV, often dubbed "rigged-choice voting" by its critics, voters rank candidates in order of preference.  If no candidate receives more than 50 percent of first-choice votes in the first round of voting, the last-place finisher is eliminated, and his votes are reallocated to the voter's second-choice candidate.  This process continues until one candidate receives a majority of votes.  While both major political parties have a history of promoting RCV, it's primarily Democrats who are pushing states and localities to adopt the practice for future elections.

Wisconsin Is Working to Fix the 2020 Election Fraud to Avoid a Repeat in 2024.  Thanks to the courage, conviction and commitment of a handful of legislators (Ramthun and Brandtjen) and election integrity supporters, volumes of evidence have been cataloged that would clearly hold up in a court of law to show how the administration of elections in Wisconsin were severely compromised if not outright illegal in the 2020 Presidential Election based on many settled court cases since then.  Rather than looking backward, pointing fingers, going down rabbit trails, placing blame and the proverbial "...could-a, would-a, should-a", we must learn from 2020 and make sure there isn't a repeat in 2024.  We must have an "all-hands-on-deck" approach to bring all of the political party, patriots and practitioners together while exhibiting forgiveness, humility, trust, approachability and a pathway forward to make sure Wisconsin's 10 Electoral College Votes are legally certified in 2024.

New Jersey Democrats Face New Charges Over Election Fraud Involving Mail-In Ballots and Voter Registrations.  New Jersey's Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin has added new charges to an ongoing election-fraud case involving Democrat Alex Mendez, the Paterson City Council President, and several alleged co-conspirators.  According to the Attorney General, the defendants are accused of attempting to rig the election, tampering with ballots, and obstructing the course of justice through witness tampering.  Mendez was initially indicted on election fraud charges in 2021.  Now, fresh charges have been brought against him, his wife Yohanny Mendez, and two other Paterson residents, Omar Ledesma and Iris Rigo.  The revelations came after an extensive investigation by the Office of Public Integrity and Accountability (OPIA), which itself was prompted when the U.S. Postal Inspection Service found hundreds of mail-in ballots for the May 2020 Paterson municipal election suspiciously stashed in a mailbox in a neighboring municipality.

It's almost like there's a conspiracy against Trump.  [Scroll down]  Dr. Anthony Fauci's Wuhan virus coincidently escaped the lab.  Aware, and against Trump, the CCP permitted thousands of infected passengers to enter the U.S. where it created a pandemic.  Anticipating it and seemingly prepared for it, the Democrat party exploited it to create a seismic, unprecedented distortion in public policies around economy-killing lockdowns, and in voting rules, increasing unverifiable ballots by previously unheard of multiples.  It coordinated with its champions in social, print and network media to censor and suppress [embarrassing] information about its own candidate and his depraved family.  They were so certain that they could cheat out a victory that they kept their candidate, lifelong liar and incompetent Joe Biden, in his basement as Trump held massive rallies.  Trump went to bed election night well ahead.  By morning he had lost.  See Dinesh D'Souza's documentary, 2,000 Mules.  Myriad legitimate legal appeals were filed.  All were rejected by the courts, either because of cowardice, complicity, or both.

Democrats' Campaign To Disbar John Eastman Is Designed To Criminalize Republican Election Challenges.  After having his phone seized by the FBI, enduring harassment from House Democrats' J6 Committee, and getting indicted by a corrupt Fulton County district attorney, constitutional scholar John Eastman has once again found himself the target of Democrats' crusade to weaponize the legal system against their political opponents.  Over the past several weeks, prosecutors representing the State Bar of California (SBC) have been working in state court to strip Eastman of his ability to practice law and, effectively, destroy his livelihood.  In January, the SBC announced it was charging Eastman for advising former President Donald Trump over the latter's legal challenges to the 2020 election results.  This announcement came nearly a year after the agency revealed it had been investigating Eastman for potential "violation[s] of California law and ethics rules governing attorneys."

N.J. council president 'personally collected ballots' in local voting fraud scheme, AG says.  The sitting president of the Paterson City Council, already under indictment in a 2020 election fraud probe, faces new charges after state authorities say they uncovered evidence that he "personally collected ballots" in violation of New Jersey election law and tampered with witnesses in the case.  The fresh accusations against Alex Mendez provide new details in an long-looming vote-by-mail fraud probe that drew national attention after former President Donald Trump invoked the case in his attacks on the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential race.  Mendez, who represents the city's 3rd Ward, now faces nine counts ranging from conspiracy to commit election fraud to forgery and witness tampering, according to the state Office of Public Integrity and Accountability, which brought the charges.  The accusations stem from Paterson's May 2020 municipal race.

The Late Hour of Our Republic.  It is my belief, and solely my own, that we, the United States of America, have been captured by the powerbase of the elite and that our representatives and senators now respond to that powerbase, that the people, that are the powerbase of America, have been conquered.  It was done in secret, behind our backs, not in a war or through attrition, but by trickery and now whatever fighting we do for our nation is done for the powerbase of the elite. [...] I tell you that the disinterestedness of our elected officials in our pleas to rectify the election process is a symptom of this capitulation to the powerbase of the elite.  They don't care, because they don't have to.  Anything that could implicate them in the fraudulent elections is discarded by those same elite.  This is the same with the immigration laws, with the laws against theft, rape and murder.  They don't matter, because we do not live in a constitutional republic.  Our rights have been subsumed by their system of graft and clout, of power and prestige.

The Extreme Danger of Mail-In Voting.  Mail-in voting has made the secret ballot a thing of the past.  That will be the death of democracy, with new threats from the far left.  Loss of secrecy is one of the worst but hardly ever discussed dangers with mail-in voting.  What do you think is going to happen in light of recent reports of leftists openly threatening to "deprogram" and persecute Trump voters?  Do leftists ever feel any shame for what they have done to this country by voting for the current regime and tacitly supporting it with their silence?  Dinesh D'Souza was recently on the Glenn Beck Program discussing his new film, Police State, going through the features of this kind of regime, with many uncannily already in place, as brought on by Biden or his hidden handler therein.

'Stand for America' means to force states into conducting clean, honest, fair, elections.  Two years ago, a group of New Yorkers — busy, like you — felt that something had gone terribly wrong in our state. [...] Finally, we watched as massive, blatant election misconduct went unanswered in 2020 and 2022.  Against this stark landscape, we set forth to determine if our elections were fair and honest.  What we found is stunning:  New York elections appear to massively violate state and federal law.  The problems are dismissed by officials who steadfastly resist the efforts of honest, well-intentioned citizens to get answers regarding their legitimate findings.  Certification of the 2020 and 2022 elections in New York was provable misconduct:  a civil rights violation, acting under color of law, of the entire U.S. citizenry.

What happened to Sidney Powell?  Shortly after January 6, Powell was, apparently, part of a group that sought to test one of the Georgia voting machines.  This is being portrayed as the crime of the century, and it led to Powell's recent plea deal.  By now you have heard that Sidney Powell pleaded guilty in the so-called Georgia election interference case.  However, it seems that she has not recanted her views regarding election fraud.  Her guilty plea concerns only a misguided effort to test an election machine in Coffee County.  It is barely a crime at all, since there was no criminal intent.  The so-called Powell conspirators made pictures of ballots after getting permission from Misty Hampton, the Coffee County elections administrator.  No one was trying to destroy records, change votes, or damage equipment.  Big deal!

DC Board of Elections breach may include entire voter roll.  Abreach of Washington, D.C. voter data may have been broader than initially understood and may have included the entire voter role, the District of Columbia Board of Elections said in a statement Friday.  The board first learned of the breach after voter data was offered for a sale in an online forum earlier this month.  Initially, the board believed the affected data amounted to 600,000 lines, but in a call with its hosting provider on Friday learned that the breached database included a copy of the full voter roll.

Texas Secretary of State Releases Election Audit Findings, And They Are Deeply Troubling.  Recent preliminary findings from a state audit of November 2022 Harris County, Texas, election are highlighting the vital importance of upholding the integrity of our democratic processes.  Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson released preliminary findings of the audit stating, "Harris County clearly had multiple failures conducting the election and violated election law for estimating needed ballot paper," according to KPRC-TV.  "Mistakes like these led to a poorly executed election which left many Harris County residents frustrated and may have prevented them from voting.  It is important to talk about these issues now in order to address them before the 2024 election cycle," Nelson added.  Nelson's statement highlighted a range of issues uncovered during the audit.  These problems include discrepancies in voter registration data, a failure to deliver essential supplies to polling locations, equipment malfunctions, and incomplete paperwork.

The Curious Case Of Miami-Dade 'Blank Ballots'.  As part of the ongoing efforts to clean up the rampant corruption in Florida elections and hold those responsible for the theft of our elections accountable, we have been doing massive public records requests.  These efforts led to significant impact in Florida, Maryland, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Arizona election integrity efforts in exposing the depth of the voting machine use in widespread election fraud.  The latest development was recently in Miami-Dade county long known as a haven for rampant election and voter fraud.  We had requested data regarding the conducting of elections, and the required filing of election data with the state of Florida.  Over the past few years, we have been peeling back the layers of election fraud being conducted within the Supervisor of Elections Offices across the State of Florida, supervised by Maria Matthews and Cord Byrd.  We brought massive irrefutable proof to Byrd, DeSantis, Moody and the farcical "Elections Crime Unit" that Ron DeSantis used to round up disenfranchised felons who were misled into thinking that they could vote in elections.

The High-tech Lynching of America.  The COVID-19 lockdowns and the death of George Floyd in May 2020 created an environment of fear.  And fear of going to the polls gave Democrat activists and lawyers the opportunity to change election laws and protocols in key swing states to expand the utilization of mail-in ballots, ballot harvesting, and lengthening vote counting deadlines.  These initiatives enabled paid activists to manipulate voter registration and the vote count through fraudulent ballots — undertaken to deny Donald Trump a second term.

Fight for Hand Count Ballots.  During the four days of the Douglas County Fair, the Republican Party Booth offered the public a citizens petition to sign in support of hand counting ballots within the county.  The volunteers manning the booth reported that about 90% of the fair goers that stopped at the booth also signed the petition.  There were 372 total signatures, mostly from the fair booth.  An associated list kept of people who would be willing to volunteer on the counting board received 90 signatures.  Thanks to the fairgoers for confirming that the people of Douglas County want their ballots counted by humans, not machines.  The Douglas County Clerk in Oregon, Dan Loomis, has denied 6 "Prospective Initiative Petitions" that would allow petitioners to have the formal petitions needed to gather signatures for getting "hand counting of the ballots" on the Douglas County ballot for the 2024 primary.

North Carolina Republicans override Dem governor's vetoes of two election integrity bills.  North Carolina Republicans in the state legislature overrode Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper's vetoes on two election integrity bills, passing the bills into law.  On Tuesday, the Republican-controlled North Carolina state legislature overrode Cooper's vetoes on Senate Bills 747 and 749, The Carolina Journal reported.  The House overrode the vetoes of both bills 72-44 and the Senate followed suit, 30-19.  SB 747 requires absentee ballots to be received by Election Day and bans Zuckbucks — the injection of private money into public election administration.  SB 749 splits the appointments of the state Board of Elections between the state legislature majority and minority party leaders.  Previously, the governor would make the appointments on the recommendations of the two largest state parties and choose his own tie-breaker.

There Is No Election Integrity, It's up to Us.  In a commonsensical way, United Sovereign Americans, the New York Citizens Audit, and the other state audits now underway are doing no more than trying to ensure that the civil rights of all voting Americans are protected and that the pertinent laws were followed to the letter by civil servants and government-appointed officials when they certified the elections.  A copy of the New York Citizens Audit was sent to the New York Commissioner of Election Integrity, but the Audit has yet to receive a reply from that entity.  What it did receive was a cease-and-desist order from New York's Attorney General Letitia James, who — after receiving a copy of the Audit — demanded that the Audit's staff stop portraying themselves as "election officials," something they have never done.

Physicist Testifying at Disbarment Trial of Trump's Former Attorney John Eastman Discusses Report That Found 130,000 Instances of 'Voter Fraud' in Nevada.  Physicist and auditor John Droz testified all day Thursday in the ongoing disbarment trial of Donald Trump's former attorney and constitutional scholar, John Eastman.  California Disciplinary Court Judge Yvette Roland, who contributed to Democrats while on the bench, spent a large portion of the day successfully attempting to keep Droz's investigative reports into the 2020 election and his testimony from being admitted into evidence.  Some of his testimony that was struck from the record afterward discussed a report that attorney Jesse Binnall delivered to Congress, laying out what he found as 130,000 incidents of voter fraud in Nevada's 2020 election. [...] [Eastman's attorney, Randy] Miller next attempted to ask Droz about a report he and his team authored on vote spikes for Biden on election night in 2020.  They found 26 large net vote dumps for Biden of 25,000 or more in 14 states suspected of election fraud.  Some had more than one spike — Pennsylvania had four spikes.  Not a single spike occurred in favor of Trump, the report found.

Retired DoD Analyst Reveals Biden Got Fewer Votes Than Hillary In Philadelphia.  The disbarment trial of Trump's former attorney and constitutional legal scholar John Eastman entered into its seventh week on Tuesday, with two of Eastman's witnesses returning to the witness stand for cross-examination.  Physicist John Droz discussed the reports he oversaw on election anomalies in the 2020 election, and retired Department of Defense analyst Ray Blehar revealed that despite the huge increases in votes for Joe Biden compared to Hillary Clinton in 2016, Biden got fewer votes than she did in Philadelphia.  The proceedings began with a discussion of whether Eastman's witnesses would be allowed to testify about the vote spikes report, which revealed large net dumps of votes solely for Joe Biden on election night.

Automatic voter registration will lead to foreign nationals getting on voter rolls.  With great fanfare, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro announced that the commonwealth will begin implementing automatic voter registration.  Automatic voter registration means that when Pennsylvanians get driver's licenses or state-issued government IDs they will automatically be registered to vote unless they opt out.  Currently, people opt in to register to vote.  This may on the surface sound like a good thing.  After all, we all want every American who wants to exercise his or her right to vote to be able to have their voice heard at the ballot box.  But a deeper look at automatic voter registration reveals it often exacerbates errors on the voter roll.  Based on real data, Pennsylvania is the last place that should be implementing this risky plan.  Over the last 20 years, no state has performed worse in keeping ineligible, duplicated and even foreigners off state voter rolls.

Registrar Accidentally Sends Around 7,500 Duplicate Ballots for Nov. 7 Special Election.  The San Diego County Registrar of Voters office found that around 1% of voters for the Nov. 7 special election may have received duplicate ballots, it was announced Wednesday.  According to the registrar, the mistake impacts voters in the county Board of Supervisors District 4 special election and less than a dozen voters in the city of Chula Vista special election.  Following discovery of the duplicate ballots, the registrar's office "immediately contacted the print and mailing vendor to determine what happened and how many voters were impacted," according to a statement from the office.  "After researching, they reported that around 7,500 or a little over 1% of voters out of the nearly 600,000 voters who were mailed a ballot, have inadvertently received a duplicate mail ballot packet."  One of the two ballot packets had already been suspended in the computer system and should not have been mailed.

Democrat Election Clerk Admits She Has Not Been Following the Law on Mail-In Ballots.  For the first time on Thursday, a judge began examining evidence in the legal case aimed at reversing the outcome of the Bridgeport Mayoral Primary.  The investigation comes in the wake of a scandal that has rocked the state's largest city, where surveillance footage captured a woman inserting multiple pieces of paper into an absentee ballot drop box just one week before the mayoral primary election.  The Gateway Pundit previously reported that mayoral candidate John Gomes' campaign released a damning video last month showing evidence of election fraud in the recent Bridgeport Democratic primary.  The video has prompted an investigation by the Bridgeport Police Department for "possible misconduct."  The video on the Gomes campaign's Facebook page shows a woman dropping stacks of 'illegal' ballots into an absentee ballot box outside the Bridgeport government center, where the city's Registrar of Voters office is located, CT Mirror reported.

An Old Man Looks at America.  For most of my life, voting required a certain amount of discipline.  Depending on where you lived, you might have been required to pre-register to vote, typically requiring ID; you had to actually show up on Election Day, register or show ID; and then cast a single vote, with the results to be known late that night or early the next morning.  Now voting is a bad joke, with more moving parts than an old merry-go-round.  There's [...] early voting, Election Day voting, late voting, remote voting, automatic vote registration, mail-out ballots, mail-in ballots, harvested ballots, lost ballots, found ballots, and the always popular ballot boxes.  And the results won't be known for days, with strange vote total turnarounds now commonplace.  All I can say to that is, if you think the Dems unilaterally engineered a million ways to cheat electorally and then didn't utilize them, you're truly a fool of the first order.  And you'll soon part with ever more of your money as big government manages more and more of your life.  It's happening now.

A request for help from John Eastman.  The crux of the State Bar's case against me is its claim that there was no evidence of significant fraud in the 2020 presidential elections and my legal filings on behalf of President Trump and my public statements to the contrary show that I am unfit to be a lawyer.  This is the outrageous and false position that State Bar prosecutors have staked out in court for week after week.  But now, finally, I have been able to begin to present my defense.  Through the efforts of my legal team and the blockbuster testimony of my amazing witnesses, the American people are finally seeing all of the election illegality and fraud that we all saw with our own eyes back in 2020 get its day in court.  This attack against me by the California State Bar mirrors the charges of a partisan lawfare group that is determined to put me, President Trump and all of his defenders in prison.  I have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars defending against these outrageously false charges, and I am looking at over $1 million in additional costs.

Drop boxes have become key to election conspiracy theories.  Two Democrats just fueled those claims.  A woman approaches a drop box in the dark with what appears to be handfuls of ballots.  At a different drop box, someone else is seen making multiple trips to insert ballots.  At yet another, the same car stops on at least three separate occasions, with different people stepping out and heading to the box.  It's not a trailer for the latest conspiracy movie about rigged elections.  Instead, the video footage has become central to a real-world controversy over potential fraud involving ballot drop boxes, a favorite target of right-wing conspiracy theorists since former President Donald Trump's loss in the 2020 election.  The accusations of drop box fraud are not coming from those pushing fringe election claims or from skeptical Republicans who have long favored eliminating or severely restricting use of the boxes.

Connecticut manages to get the AP to notice ballot drop box problems.  For the past few weeks we've been covering the disputed mayoral election in Bridgeport, Connecticut, where a woman was caught on video stuffing ballots into drop boxes in the middle of the night.  The race came down to a couple hundred votes and the "loser" is currently in court fighting to have the results vacated.  The woman with the envelopes full of ballots is under investigation, just as she was in the previous election.  The dubious results have attracted national attention and once again highlighted the problems with mass mail-in voting and public ballot drop boxes.  The situation has created such a stench that even the Associated Press felt compelled to cover this story this week.  Of course, as we would expect, they're trying to imply that the drop boxes couldn't possibly be the real problem.

'We've Lost Everything': MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell Says Election-Fraud Lawsuits Have Ruined Him.  Mike Lindell, CEO and Founder of MyPillow, hasn't a dime left thanks to the lawfare waged against him over claims of a stolen election.  According to NBC News, Lindell's lawyers at Parker Daniels Kibort LLC (PDK) are pushing him out due to millions of unpaid legal fees: [...] Lindell claimed the 2020 election was stolen through voting machines created by Smartmatic and Dominion Voting Systems who claim their reputations were ruined by Lindell's claims.  A third lawsuit was brought against Lindelol by former Dominion employee Eric Coomer.  Lindell told NBC that if he had the money, he would gladly pay his lawyers whom he referred to as "brave and courageous."  "We've lost everything, every dime," he told NBC News.  "All of it is gone."

10 Ways Democrats Are Already Rigging the 2024 Election.  Sometimes the only way to win the game is to change the rules in your favor — and that's exactly what Democrats have been doing to America's election laws.  After expanding insecure voting practices such as mass unsupervised mail-in voting and the use of ballot drop boxes during the 2020 election, Democrat-controlled state legislatures have sought to enshrine these policies into law across the country.  States such as New Mexico, Minnesota, and Michigan have all adopted sloppy election procedures under the guise of "democracy" and so-called "voting rights." [...] Shortly after taking office, Biden took the unprecedented step of ordering hundreds of federal agencies to interfere in state and local election administration.  Executive Order 14019 mandated all departments use U.S. taxpayer money to boost voter registration and get-out-the-vote activities.  Agencies were also instructed to develop "a strategic plan" explaining how they intended to fulfill this directive.  While the Biden administration has routinely stonewalled efforts by good government groups to acquire these plans, available information reveals an apparently partisan venture aimed at registering voters who are likely to support Democrats.

They Are That Evil.  No one with a brain and the ability to do math believes that Joe Biden won the 2020 election.  Everything logical speaks against it.  The rock-star-like reception Trump gets everywhere he goes and the sparse crowds that accompany Joe Biden make that narrative an obvious lie.  No one has been willing to examine the votes taken or the illegality of the law changes at the last moment before the election (most of which required an alteration of the state constitution to change the law).  They just don't want to see it.  But the people know.

AVR: The Newest form of election cheating.  To many state administrators, it is not good enough to permit citizens to register to vote when they get a driver's license.  They must be registered automatically when they interact with any state agency — not just the DMV.  Oregon became the first state to implement AVR (Automatic Voter Registration) in 2016.  Since then, the concept has spread like wildfire, mostly among Democrat-controlled states.  As of February 2023, there were 23 states trolling for extra voters with the AVR system.  However, the systems are not all the same.  There are "front end" AVR states, where the individual can opt out of registration right away.  There are "back end" AVR states, where the person is registered unless he opts out at home — some days later, when he is informed of the registration with a postcard.  Of course, he may not be able to read that postcard if English is not his native tongue.

11 HERO Lawmakers Sue MI SOS Jocelyn Benson and MI Director of Elections In Federal Court.  Eleven Michigan state legislators have filed a lawsuit today in federal court against state election officials.  The lawsuit claims the 2018 and 2022 state constitutional amendments regulating the times, places, and manner of federal elections are legally null and void.  The U.S. Constitution, Article I, Section 4 (the Elections Clause), requires the state legislature to regulate the times, places, and manner of federal elections.  However, Michigan's constitutional amendments (Proposal 3 of 2018 and Proposal 2 of 2022) bypassed the state legislature and, in doing so, usurped the legislature's federally mandated constitutional authority.  These state constitutional amendments included provisions that allow voters to sign affidavits instead of presenting valid identification when voting in person or applying for an absentee ballot; nine days of early voting; private funding of election administration; no-excuse absentee voting procedures; same-day voter registrations; state-funded absentee ballot drop boxes, and independent redistricting commissions.  The lawsuit, filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan, names as defendants Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and Jonathan Brater, Director of the Bureau of Elections.

FBI Hides Evidence of Nationwide Voter Registration Fraud.  You may or may not have heard of the nationwide voter registration fraud scheme.  And you won't hear much about it now in the media.  It involves tens of thousands of fake voters.  The FBI is hiding the information using the usual excuse that it's an ongoing investigation.  Just the News confirmed the FBI will not release the information.  The probe began in Michigan and has the potential to be very widespread.  The FBI took over a 2020 probe into voter registration fraud.  John Solomon's Just the News confirmed, "According to the dozens of pages of police reports from the Muskegon Police Department and Michigan State Police, a firm called GBI Strategies was under scrutiny as an organization central to alleged voter registration fraud in the 2020 presidential election.  The matter was initially investigated by city and state authorities before the FBI took over."

28% Of Americans [are] 'Not Confident' That 2024 Vote Will Be Fair And Accurate:  I&I/TIPP Poll.  Will the 2024 election be fair, or marred by systematic cheating?  Based on how Americans feel about recent elections and the coming presidential contest, most are confident the election will be fair.  But there's a huge political gap on the issue between Democrats on one side, and Republicans and independents on the other, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll shows.  First, the good news:  65% of the 1,223 registered voters queried in the national online I&I/TIPP Poll, which was taken from Aug. 30 [to] Sept. 1, called themselves either "very confident" (42%) or "somewhat confident" (23%) that the 2024 election "will be conducted fairly and accurately."  The bad news: 28% of Americans expressed being either "not very confident" (17%) or "not at all confident" (11%).  So more than a quarter of the electorate harbors doubts about the legitimacy of the coming presidential election.  The poll has a 2.9 percentage-point margin of error.

Smartmatic Voting Company Implicated in Massive Scandal, DOJ Steps In.  Voting tech company 'Smartmatic' has just come under fire, as new details have emerged on a huge controversy.  The company is now facing money laundering charges from the Department of Justice (DOJ) against four executives.  Now, former Filipino election official Andres Bautista has been accused of being involved in a bribery scheme with Smartmatic.  These individuals are accused of transferring $4 million to former Filipino election official Andres Bautista "in violation of US money laundering laws".  It is reported that Bautista was given $199 million in contracts for almost 100,000 voting machines and tabulation services for Philippine Presidential elections back in 2016.  In response to this accusation, Bautista took to social media stating he "did not ask for nor receive any bribe money from Smartmatic or any other entity."  Despite his defense, it remains unclear as to whether there was any wrongdoing on part of Smartmatic or Bautista himself.  A spokeswoman from Smartmatic also attempted to deny these allegations by claiming that they have never won a project through illegal means and that these claims are not related to their security and integrity measures when it comes to elections.

The Democrats Broke The Constitution In 2020, But There's An Upside.  I spent much of the two months following the 2020 election arguing with Democrats who pretended that Joe Biden actually won.  Their line was: "Prove it was fraudulent".  I couldn't.  "There was no fraud," we were told by the media, every branch of government, academics, Democrats, and the TDS-afflicted GOP establishment types.  That fiction continues to this day, and the truth is, they have a point.  As of today, there is not a single court case that has established any significant coordinated effort to steal the election.  Every single case brought by Donald Trump and his compatriots either failed in court or failed to be considered by courts because of "standing" or some other technicality.  Now, however, three years later, with everything from Molly Ball's TIME magazine boast to Mollie Hemingway's brilliant Rigged to the poorly made but tantalizing 2000 Mules to the Twitter files, it's as clear as day to anyone with a functioning brain that the Democrats conspired with the rest of America's elite leftist cabal to steal the election, and succeeded.

Who's Responsible For Georgia's Disastrous 2020 Election?  Governor Kemp and Secretary of State (SOS) Raffensperger want Georgia voters to move on from the 2020 election.  Correspondence and official decisions made over the summer indicate the State Election Board (SEB) wishes the same.  While this may work for politicians and government officials, President Trump and 18 others, including Georgia voters, are under indictment for the 2020 election.  CNN reported that all are being charged with serious crimes that, if not disproven, could alter the course of their lives.  Some believe it is a witchhunt prompted by bitter disdain for the former President.  In any case, the charges make it exceedingly difficult for the indicted to leave 2020 behind unless they can prove the election resulted in anomalies and errors that should have rendered its certification a certifiable sham.  Several of the indicted were longstanding and earnest election officials who witnessed problems with tabulators and other election-related snafus.  When they investigated, they were doing their jobs.  However, it's not the way their actions are being portrayed.

Maricopa County Recorder to Testify in Kari Lake Lawsuit against County.  Next week could get interesting in Arizona.  Kari Lake (R) has a lawsuit to go to trial against Maricopa County relative to issues in the 2022 election, where she supposedly lost to Katie Hobbs (D) for governor.  The trial is set to be held September 25 and 26.  Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer (R) has been subpoenaed to testify to defend Maricopa County's mail-in ballot procedures and refusal to be transparent.  The County Recorder oversees mail-in voting operations, which appear to be manipulated to steal the election from Lake.

The plan to give all illegal aliens the right to vote.  [Scroll down]  The key here is the "state ID."  Biden plans to hand out photo ID's to illegals. [...] Then blue state Governors can decide to accept those holding these photo ID's as valid voters.  Illegal aliens will be able to neutralize the votes of American citizens- in particular, Republicans.  I ask you- in what country in Earth can you enter illegally, get financial support, stay in swanky hotels, get a photo ID and free i-phones and vote as an illegal?  Eventually this will marginalize all American citizens and destroy what it even means to be an American.

Federal Court:  There's Nothing Racist About Election Integrity Laws Like Florida's.  A full federal appeals court declined to take up Democrat groups' challenge of Florida's 2021 election integrity law on Thursday, marking a major win for Gov. Ron DeSantis and the GOP-controlled state legislature.  According to the Orlando Sentinel, Thursday's decision by the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals "let stand an April ruling by a three-judge panel of the [court] that sided with the state on major issues in the case."  The 11th Circuit's April decision effectively overturned a prior ruling issued by U.S. District Judge Mark Walker — an Obama appointee — who baselessly claimed the law in question discriminated against black voters.  "What are the supposedly racist provisions that the district judge enjoined officials from enforcing?" Chief Judge William Pryor wrote of the court's Thursday decision.  "They are unremarkable, race-neutral policies designed to bolster election security, maintain order at the polls and ensure that voter-registration forms are delivered on time."

NY Governor Signs Cheat By Mail Bill, Is Immediately Sued As Violating NY Constitution.  [Scroll down]  The lawsuit was filed immediately upon Hochul signing it, and, it does violate the Constitution, as absentee ballots are only for voters with a medical or physical disability or proof they'll be out of their county of residence or New York City on Election Day.  They aren't for everyone.

Is the vote sacred, or just a formality?  One major factor in holding the Republic together is the vote.  If one disagrees with government policies, one can hope to remove that government at the ballot box. [...] But what happens when large portions of the public cease to believe that their votes count?  The 2020 election was fraught with irregularities, to say the least.  Even if one disbelieves that fraud was involved, competence is called into question.  There were photos of counting stations with large obstructions that prevented legally required observation of the process.  There is video of boxes of ballots being counted after — after — observers were expelled.  At least one precinct, in Detroit, counted more votes than were cast, all for Democrats.  One might argue that these and other items of evidence were falsely portrayed, but without an honest investigation, how would we know?  It is certainly reasonable to ask how it came about that the vote count on Election Night, which favored President Trump, was reversed only after midnight, and under dubious circumstances.

Report: Joe Biden's DHS Plans Photo ID Cards for Illegal Aliens Freed into U.S..  President Joe Biden's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is reportedly planning to give photo identification (ID) cards to border crossers and illegal aliens before they are released into the United States.  Leaked images of the photo ID cards for illegal aliens were first published by Adam Shaw at Fox News, showing space for the carrier's photo, a QR code, and information about the carrier, including name and age — similar to a driver's license or state-issued ID.  The ID cards, part of a DHS pilot program, could be used by Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents at airports or to access public benefits.

Ken Paxton's Tucker Carlson interview and Texas's Vichy Republicans' war against conservatives.  As you know, Ken Paxton is a conservative attorney general and he's been a thorn in the side of the Biden administration.  He's filed suit after suit against Biden's executive orders and, if he gets to court, he often wins.  In addition, within Texas, he's been fighting a valiant battle against election fraud.  Incidentally, Paxton thinks the big threat to America isn't voting machines.  Instead, it's mail-in ballots.  Mailing them to everyone makes it impossible to know who is returning those ballots or how many are honestly returned.  One would think that, in a red state like Texas, election fraud and other chicanery wouldn't be a problem.  However, Austin, San Antonio, and Houston are all hard left, and leftists control the election systems in those cities.  Paxton was trying to sue to correct fraud there and, when he got to court, he won.  So, the Karl Rove/Bush branch of the Republican party, via judicial fiat, stopped that.  In other words, between election fraud, corrupt politics, and open borders, Texas is heading for the blue side of the political spectrum and, once it does, the biggest bulwark against permanent Democrat power in D.C. is gone.

Lawsuit: Democrats' No-Excuse Absentee Voting Law Violates New York Constitution.  New York's new no-excuse absentee voting law violates its state constitution, a new lawsuit filed by a coalition of Republican groups and politicians alleges.  Filed on Wednesday by the Republican National Committee and other Republican-affiliated groups, the suit contends that a law signed by Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul "allow[ing] any registered voter in the state to cast an early ballot by mail" breaches the New York Constitution.  Under New York's top legal document, absentee voting is strictly reserved for qualified voters who may be "absent from the county of their residence" or "unable to appear personally at the polling place because of illness or physical disability."  The RNC alleges that New York's new voting law ignores this provision by permitting "qualified voters to vote by mail rather than in person, even if they do not satisfy either of the two limited exceptions set forth" in the state constitution.  "The Mail-Voting Law was enacted by the Legislature in open and knowing defiance of Article II, § 2, ignoring and subverting the will of the People whom the Legislature is supposed to represent," the lawsuit reads.

Presumed Rigged Until Further Notice.  [Scroll down]  The 2020 presidential election fraud deniers claim, without supporting proof, that there is no proof of "outcome-determinative" fraud.  As a matter of fact, a large number of videos, eye-witness testimonies, and statistical anomalies during the vote-counting process have been recorded, some of them readily available on the web.  Virtually none of the above has been factually disproved, or even investigated.  So, it is not unreasonable to question the "most secure election in history" claim.  But let's pretend that there is no unsightly evidence of "outcome-determinative fraud" hovering in the wings, waiting for a judge to permit it to enter the public legal record.  To my best knowledge, at the time of this writing, there has been no publicly-presented proof that there wasn't any "outcome-determinative" fraud.  Therefore, the bottom line is that, as of now, it is not known what happened.  In other words, President Trump's claims may be considered unproven at this time, but claims of his deniers also remain unproven.  And there is no factual and rational basis to award the deniers any benefit of doubt in this matter.

Democrat Mayoral Candidate John Gomes Files Lawsuit to Block Certification of Stolen Connecticut Primary Race.  On Monday, Democrat Mayoral candidate John Gomes filed a lawsuit challenging the results of his party's primary in Bridgeport, Connecticut, and requesting a new Democratic primary.  This comes after a video surfaced showing a Democrat clerk inserting illegal ballots into a drop box, which prompted an investigation by the Bridgeport Police Department for "possible misconduct."  The Gateway Pundit reported that Gomes' campaign released a [...] video on Saturday showing evidence of election fraud in the recent Bridgeport Democratic primary.  The video posted on Gomes campaign's Facebook page shows a woman dropping stacks of 'illegal' ballots into an absentee ballot box outside the Bridgeport government center, where the city's Registrar of Voters office is located, CT Mirror reported.

Maybe This Latest Blatant Ballot Box Stuffing Scandal Will Be the Last Straw.  Whether it's because they have no fear of consequence or because they really are that stupid, Democrat operatives regularly stuff ballot boxes in full view of cameras.  The pattern is nauseatingly familiar at this point:  First, Big Left's candidate comes from behind to win an election with a handful of mail-in or absentee votes.  Then, video, sworn testimony, and/or official complaints of ballot harvesting and ballot box stuffing emerge.  The matter is referred to law enforcement, which opens an investigation.  And then... nothing.  In the film "2000 Mules," rampant ballot harvesting — which is illegal in Georgia, one of the states featured in the film — was documented.  The matter was referred to Ga.  Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, whose office launched an investigation. "If Georgia's investigation into organized ballot harvesting leads to actual arrests and punishment, it will be a great day for America," I wrote at the time.  "We are all weary of lengthy investigations that go nowhere and accomplish nothing, but perhaps this time will be different."  LOL, it was no different.  Raffensberger declined to proceed without one of the film's producers, election integrity non-profit True the Vote, giving up the name of a confidential source, which they refused to do.  One source — out of the mountains of data and evidence the group provided — was the excuse for halting the investigation.

Voter Registration Charities:  A Massive, Overlooked Scandal.  "Nonprofit voter registration" doesn't sound interesting.  Yet nonprofit voter registration, or the use of tax-exempt charitable organizations to conduct and fund voter registration drives, is one of the most important and underreported political scandals of our time.  Nonprofit voter registration, and the get-out-the-vote (GOTV) activities that usually accompany it, have become the heart of a billion-dollar industry in America.  According to Candid's Foundation Funding for U.S. Democracy database, since 2011 nearly 60,000 grants have been made for "Voter Education, Registration, and Turnout" and "Civic Participation," benefitting 15,000 different organizations to the tune of $5.9 billion dollars.  Most of the largest grantors and grantees in this industry are left-leaning.  Despite IRS rules prohibiting 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit groups from engaging in partisan electioneering, it has long been an open secret that the purpose of their work is to register voters from favorable demographics in order to help get Democrats elected.  The voter registration industry has always retreated behind the fig-leaf of "nonpartisanship" when necessary, which has protected it from serious scrutiny.

Everything is automatic, to make it easier for illegal aliens to vote.
Pennsylvania Rolls out Automatic Voter Registration with Driver's Licenses.  Pennsylvania has become the latest state to roll out automatic voter registration when a citizen receives or renews their driver's license.  The move makes Pennsylvania the 24th state to implement automatic voter registration, NBC News reported. [...] Since 1993, Americans have been able to register to vote at a state motor vehicle agency.  And now in Pennsylvania, the process went from 19 screens of questions to 11 with automatic voter registration.

Evidence Shows Key Signatures Are Missing on Wayne County's 2020 General Election Certification.  The official narrative promoted by Michigan election officials has long been that Joe Biden defeated President Donald J. Trump in the 2020 General election in Michigan by 154,188 votes, thereby awarding Michigan's 16 electoral college votes to Joe Biden.  On the basis of this narrative, on July 18, 2023, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel indicted each of the alternate 16 Republican electors with eight felony counts, including forgery and conspiracy charges.  These charges hinge upon the assertion that the 2020 election was lawfully certified.  Was it?  Wayne County, MI, is the largest county by population in the State of Michigan.  According to the official Wayne County election records for the 2020 General Election, 597,170 votes were cast for Joe Biden and 264,553 for President Trump for a vote margin of 332,617 in favor of Biden.  If these votes were not lawfully certified, the statewide vote margin would flip to reveal a 178,429 margin of victory for President Trump in Michigan.

The 2020 Election Plot Thickens.  I have previously pointed out the craziness of the epistemic standard that is being deployed against Donald Trump in the election-interference cases.  The epistemic standard in question is the belief, or more precisely the assumption, universally shared by Trump's opponents, that it's unreasonable to believe that the 2020 election was stolen.  Here's an innocuous-seeming but flagrantly question-begging recent example from The Bulwark:  "The widespread conspiracy to overthrow the 2020 election, depicted in both the federal Washington, D.C. indictment and the Fulton County, Georgia indictment, was an attack on the foundations of the republic."  This is to assume what must be proved.  What must be proved, in order for the anti-Trump unreasonableness postulate to be justified (i.e., that it's unreasonable to believe the 2020 election was stolen), is the assumption that the election clearly was not stolen.

Democrat Produces Video Alleging Bridgeport Mayor Stole Election By Stuffing Ballot Boxes.  According to the Brookings Institution, "There is no evidence that mail ballots increase electoral fraud." USA Today purports to "fact check" the "False claim that mail-in voting is connected to bad actors, fraudulent ballots."  The Brennan Center for Justice informs us, "Extensive research reveals that fraud is very rare."  While it's important not to make claims about the existence of voter fraud you can't prove, what's also true is that nearly all of the analyses dismissing concerns about voter fraud and mail-in ballots rest on a logical fallacy:  The absence of evidence is evidence of absence.  In other words, the assumption is that voter fraud is not happening because there are very few criminal convictions related to voter fraud.  Republicans, however, have long contended that those governing the areas where voter fraud is most likely to occur — Democrat-run cities with a high density of votes — have no incentive to root out and prosecute voter fraud because they benefit from it politically.

On election fraud and mail-in ballots.  It seems intuitively obvious that mail-in ballots and drop boxes are a recipe for trouble.  Prior to 2020, that used to be a universally accepted concern.  Now the MSM and the Democrats want us to believe that such things are always highly secure — that is, unless the battle is Democrat to Democrat in Bridgeport.  Or unless the Republican wins, as in 2016.

Police Launch Investigation into Fraud After Video Evidence Uncovered of Town Clerk Dumping Multiple Illegal Absentee Ballots Into a Drop Box.  Mayoral candidate John Gomes' campaign released a damning video on Saturday showing evidence of election fraud in the recent Bridgeport Democratic primary.  The video has prompted an investigation by the Bridgeport Police Department for "possible misconduct."  The video on the Gomes campaign's Facebook page shows a woman dropping stacks of 'illegal' ballots into an absentee ballot box outside the Bridgeport government center, where the city's Registrar of Voters office is located, CT Mirror reported.  The Gomes campaign was able to identify the woman in the footage as Wanda Geter-Pataky, the Vice Chairwoman of the Democratic Town Clerk and a vocal supporter of incumbent Mayor Joe Ganim, who is seeking reelection.  Gomes' campaign claims that the video shows Geter-Pataky dropping off stacks of absentee ballots ahead of the September 12th primary.

Kari Lake Files 74-Page Lawsuit Against Katie Hobbs, Election Officials.  After 10 months of court battles over the 2022 election, Arizona Republican Kari Lake still has some fight left.  Lake has claimed that the election for governor, which she narrowly lost to Democrat Katie Hobbs, was tainted by misconduct that included malfunctioning election systems and improper signature verification of early voters' ballots.  She launched multiple efforts in Arizona's state court system to have the results overturned but has not been successful.  She filed her latest appeal of a court ruling that went against her in May, according to the Arizona Republic.  That appeal, which dealt with election issues in Maricopa County, was transferred to an appeals court based in Tucson.  Lake's opening brief in the case says there is new evidence to support her allegations.

The Dems' Big Lie.  'The big lie' is the phrase Democrats ironically have chosen to hang onto Trump's unwillingness to accept his 2020 election 'loss.'  Why is this choice ironic?  Two reasons.  First, Democrats also don't accept election results.  Second, Democrats lie.  First, Democrats, in 2004, challenged George W. Bush's victory by citing false and baseless conspiracy theories about voting machines.  They defend Hillary Clinton's refusal to accept her loss in 2016 based on a conspiracy theory that Russians stole her election.  Stacey Abrams continues to deny election result because of, she claims, a massive behind-the-scenes conspiracy to prevent blacks from voting.  Lying Democrats have attempted to block the election of every Republican presidential victor since 2000.  Second, lies are essential for Democrat success.  They'll therefore continue to push lies, misrepresentations, disinformation, and propaganda.

Nothing Adds Up in Fulton County: 17k Missing Ballot Images, 10 "Phantom" Tabulators That Account for 20k Votes.  [Scroll down]  In claim #2 above, based on evidence provided by officials they showed that the original count on November 3 was missing 20,713 ballot images and count-confirming tabulator tapes.  Furthermore, this count of 20,713 ballots came from ten Advance Voting tabulators that have no record of existing.  Open Records Requests were made for public documents explicitly regarding those ten tabulators, to which Fulton County responded they had "No such records."  This means that there are no poll tapes.  There are no daily status tapes.  There are no poll closing tapes.  They are not in the Logic and Accuracy testing logs.  They do not appear in the equipment distribution logs nor the machine pick-up logs.  They apparently don't exist.

The Paper Ballot is the Vote of Record.  The lifeblood of our American Republic is free and fair elections, and right now we're hemorrhaging profusely due to illegal elections by far-left fascists, but we can stop the bleeding of our rights and freedoms by restoring legal integrity into state and federal elections.  The validity of elections depends on the legal vote counts; sounds simple enough, right?  To get a legal vote count, election officials need to count the legal version of a voter's vote.  The legal version of the vote is what it is... it is the "vote of record."  The vote of record in elections will always be the historical document kept on file of a voter's original intent — the paper ballot.  If you follow simple logic and the codified law enforced in state and federal elections, counting the vote of record seems to make sense.  However, state, and federal elections have become needlessly complex due to the implementation of electronic voting systems into the voting process.

Expert to Arizona Legislature:  Kari Lake Would Have 'Won Easily' If Google Hadn't Interfered in the 2022 Election.  State Representative Alex Kolodin (R-Scottsdale), chair of the Arizona House Ad Hoc Committee on Oversight, Accountability, and Big Tech, held the first of a series of hearings last week investigating the impact of Big Tech's election interference.  The first half of the four-hour long session featured testimony by Harvard-educated academic Dr. Robert Epstein, who discovered how Google influences election results.  The second half consisted of testimony by First Amendment attorney James Kerwin of the Mountain States Legal Foundation, who discussed where the law is in regard to officials pressuring big tech about posts. [...] Kolodin said some presenters invited to speak at the hearing dropped out due to fear.  Epstein, whose speech was titled "The Impact of Big Tech's Election Interference and How we Can Stop it," admitted he voted for Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton, not Donald Trump, said Google is the "biggest mind control engine that's ever been invented."

9th Circuit Court of Appeals Hears Kari Lake Vote Tabulator Case.  A lawsuit brought by former gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake prior to the 2022 elections was heard by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on Tuesday.  Lawyers representing Lake, Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes (D), and Maricopa County were in court at the Sandra Day O'Connor U.S. Courthouse in Phoenix before a panel of three judges. [...] Andrew Parker, the attorney representing Lake, argued that the right to vote is guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, providing Supreme Court cases as precedent and clarifying to the panel his position that vote tabulating machines in Maricopa County and Pima County were vulnerable, leaving votes open to be diluted or deleted from the system.  "The unreliable nature of what can occur when a malevolent actor intrudes into an election system and how the votes are being counted is what our complaint is all about," Parker told the judges.  He later added that Lake's complaint alleges such malevolent actors could gain access "to switch votes, to dilute votes, to add votes, to diminish votes, in an undetected way" and noted experts Lake's team interviewed to make the determination.

Competing Slates of Electors Have Happened Before.  Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her leftist comrades moan about "Donald Trump's fake-electors scheme" as if it were a cutting-edge conspiracy concocted at his Mar-a-Lago compound in the wee small hours of the morning.  In fact, "fake electors" are neither new nor nefarious.  And they are not fake, either.  Believe it or not, a Congressional Research Service paper discusses how to proceed when a state sends to Washington two separate slates of presidential electors — as has happened in the past!

Police Report Verifies Law Enforcement Went Door-to-Door Confirming Fraudulent MI Voter Registration Ring.  A second police report, this time from the Muskegon Police Department, describes the rampant voter fraud in the 2020 election in Muskegon further confirms the accuracy of the Gateway Pundit reporting earlier this month.  On August 8th, the Gateway Pundit exclusively broke the news that a police report from the Michigan State Police showed that a major effort to fraudulently register over 10 [to] 12,000 voters in Muskegon, Michigan prior to the 2020 election was not only caught, but that the investigation into the well-funded and well-networked left-wing organizing group GBI Strategies was stalled by the FBI for three years.  This news answered the question about whether the 2020 election was the "most secure in history" as Americans have been told endlessly.

The Swamp Is Trying to Cancel Nearly 4.3 Million Votes.  During Donald Trump's norm-shattering 2016 campaign, he famously promised to "drain the swamp," referring to the concentration of power and the penchant for corruption among Washington's political elite and bureaucratic class.  The highlight of this effort was probably when Trump sacked FBI Director James Comey a few months after he became president, ostensibly for botching the investigation into Hillary Clinton's private server and leaked emails, though it was really an attempt by Trump — as he admitted — to quash the agency's investigation into frivolous claims of Russian election interference.  That decision was the tipping point in the events that led to the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel to continue the flawed Russia investigation, which we now know was initiated in response to claims fabricated by Hillary Clinton's campaign.  Although the investigation found no evidence of collusion between Trump's campaign and foreign sources, it crippled his administration for nearly two years, which might partly explain Trump's resistance to firing Anthony Fauci after it became apparent the policies he was pushing in response to COVID-19 were bogus.  Regardless, although the D.C. swamp has been exposed, the monsters living there want to let the American people know they're still in control, and now they're coming after Trump and anyone close to him with a vengeance.

Without a Proof.  A careful examination of articles posted in the so-called "mainstream" media reveals a telling bias.  All claims, including those made by President Donald Trump, that the official 2020 presidential election's results were invalid (that is, that without fraud, cheating, interference, and rigging, President Trump would have declared the winner) have been summarily dismissed — without meaningful in-depth analysis of all the evidence, witness testimonies, and observed statistical anomalies during the counting process — as "unproven."  But how can one prove that the 2020 presidential election was "stolen" (if it was "stolen"), when the courts mostly refused — based on such technicalities as a lack of standing of the plaintiffs or a lack of jurisdiction of the respective courts — to evaluate the presented evidence based on its merit, and FBI and other law-enforcement agencies mostly refused to seriously and thoroughly investigate numerous claims, supported with evidence and eye-witness testimonies, indicating wide-spread election fraud, cheating, and other significant "irregularities"?  It appears that those who had the authority to investigate complaints related to elections, and the so-called "mainstream" media, just did not want to see the voluminous evidence that might likely constitute the proof invalidating the official results of 2020 presidential election.

Kari Lake Releases Statement on Judge's Order Declaring Maricopa County's Election Procedures Unlawful.  Kari Lake released a statement yesterday, highlighting a recent court order related to Maricopa County's fraudulent signature verification and telling Americans she has the "utmost confidence" in her upcoming trial on September 21.  A Yavapai County judge last week rejected Defendants' Motions to Dismiss the Arizona Free Enterprise Club and Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections' recent lawsuit to prohibit the Arizona Secretary of State from enforcing illegal election procedures relating to mail-in ballot signature verification.  This ruling confirmed that Maricopa County has been conducting elections unlawfully.  The Judge ordered that "the language of the statute is clear and unambiguous," and the current procedures for verifying mail-in ballot signatures "do not have the force of law."

Arizona Court Rules Against State's 'Unlawful Signature Matching Process'.  The public interest group Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections declared it had secured a "massive win" for election integrity following a Friday Arizona court ruling in its favor.  In March, RITE sued Democratic Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes arguing his office's Elections Procedures Manual violates the law regarding the mail-in ballot signature verification process.  "While state law requires county recorders to match mail-ballot signatures with signatures in the voter's 'registration record,' the Secretary instructed them to use a broader and less reliable universe of comparison signatures," the group said in a Monday news release.  "That means the Secretary was requiring ballots to be counted despite using a signature that did not match anything in the voter's registration record.  This was a clear violation of state law," RITE asserted.

Newly Discovered Michigan Election Corruption Parallels Georgia!  [Scroll down]  Eight known smurfs were used to "Follow The Money".  It was found that all 8 smurfs contributed money to DSCC (Democratic Senate Campaign Committee) and Biden Campaign which in turn paid for the services of GBI Strategies.  It was also found that all 8 smurfs contributed money directly to Michigan's Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Senator Warnock of Georgia and Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona.  All of the smurfs met the typical smurf definition of large total dollar amount of donations, large number of donations, small average donation and elderly with majority out of state.  The eight smurfs averaged giving $57,046.94 each with 9,325 donations each while only averaging $10.57 per donation.  The average age of the smurfs was 74 years old.  This precisely fits the M.O. of the established smurf impersonations by the persons or entities that have stolen these seniors identities for this illegal, illicit purpose.  The current working theory is that the FEC and/or ActBlue and or a consultant company known as GMMB are complicit in this money laundering that is believed to be over $200,000,000 and possibly into the billions!

Democrat County Supervisor Accuses Democrats of Rigging Primary After Discovering Massive Election Fraud.  Hinds County Supervisor David Archie accused his Democrat opponent of cheating during the recent primary election for County Supervisor.  Archie held a press conference Thursday where he announced he now has videotape of County Democrat Party Chairwoman Jacque Amous bringing thumb drives and ballots into the the counting room and inserting them in the ES&S machines.  David Archie told reporters he has photos of the cheating.  [Tweet with video clip]

Wisconsin Republican Senate Hold Historic Hearing on Appointing a New Administrator of Elections.  In what can only be described as "historic", the Wisconsin Senate Committee on Shared Revenue, Elections and Consumer Protection held an Informational Hearing on the consideration of the Wisconsin Election Commission's unanimous recommendation to nominate the current Administrator of Election to be reappointed for a new 4-year term to end on July 1, 2027, per Wisconsin State Statute 15.61. [...] Realizing that liberal progressive democrats were angling to break the law and to keep the current Administrator of Elections in place indefinitely, the Wisconsin State Senate unanimously passed SR 3 on June 28, 2023, to have the Senate follow the law per State Statute 15.61 and consider the nomination of the current Administrator of Elections for a new 4-year term to end on July 1, 2027.  There is no "vacancy" for the position of Administrator of Elections.  There is a recommendation of the Wisconsin Election Commission to the Wisconsin Senate to reappoint the current Administrator of Elections to a new 4-year term to end on July 1, 2027.

Michigan police memos raised concern about possible nationwide voter registration fraud scheme.  Michigan authorities suspected there was a possible voter registration fraud scheme occurring across multiple states during the 2020 election and were concerned enough to bring in the FBI, according to police memos reviewed by Just the News.  But what happened since remains mostly a mystery.  According to the dozens of pages of police reports from the Muskegon Police Department and Michigan State Police, a firm called GBI Strategies was under scrutiny as an organization central to alleged voter registration fraud in the 2020 presidential election, which was first investigated by city and state authorities before the FBI took over.  Contacts between local law enforcement and the FBI continued into 2022 but there is no evidence of what happened after that in the memos obtained by Just the News through state Freedom of Information FOIA requests.  Police from Michigan interviewed GBI Strategies employees there and cited specific instances of registrations that appeared suspicious or fraudulent, the memos show.  One State Police memo described the possible crime being investigated as "Election Fraud by Forgery."

The True Big Lie.  The entire case against Trump and his fellow defendants in the 2020 election-interference prosecutions can't even get off the ground unless it is more or less evidently true that the election was not stolen.  The fact of the matter is that it's not unreasonable to believe that the election was stolen, and consequently it isn't possible for it to be (more or less) evidently true that the election was not stolen.  That is why the case against Trump and his collaborators necessarily collapses, whether or not a corrupted legal system recognizes this.  There is no case against Trump and his confreres insofar as it's reasonable to believe that the 2020 election was stolen.  Trying to stop an apparently stolen election is what everyone should do.

Trump Co-Defendant Eastman:  If We Don't Fight Back, We Will Never Have a Fair Election Again.  Wednesday on FNC's "The Ingraham Angle," Trump co-defendant John Eastman argued efforts to focus on alleged wrongdoing during the 2020 election were justified.  Eastman told host Laura Ingraham those aligned with former President Donald Trump had to fight back or face the possibility of never having a "fair election" again.  "The answer is not to just, you know, take a powder and concede because then it will get worse on the next go around," he said.  "The answer is to fight it with everything we've got because what's at stake here is too important. [...]"

We Won't Be Fooled Again.  [Scroll down]  [The US government] has been busy surrendering the authority of all its other parts for years now, to the point that the whole enterprise is untrustworthy and in need of a severe housecleaning.  Traditionally, elections are the mechanism for cleaning that house, but our elections have lost their authority, too?  Really?  How so?  Because the untrustworthy officials in charge of them employ dubious systems for gathering the vote:  mail-in balloting that invites fraud and hackable vote-counting machines that are connected to the Internet.  The defects of these things are so obvious they can hardly be ignored.  And the remedy is obvious and simple, too:  paper ballots hand-counted in small precincts of manageable size, all done on one day, which we call Election Day (and which should be a national holiday, so more working people can get to the polls).  Somehow, though, we are unable to avail that remedy, probably because the untrustworthy people in charge would lose their jobs and the power they enjoy in a truly fair election.  So, they conclude, let's not have that.

Left Seizes Election Worker Training Organization.  A nonpartisan organization that trains election workers from across the country is now being run by two liberal voting activists — one who previously worked for the nonprofit that distributed hundreds of millions of dollars of Mark Zuckerberg's election grants during the 2020 elections.  The grants were supposedly to "help" local governments run elections, but most of the money went to election offices in Democrat-run localities.  Meanwhile, most board members of the National Association of Election Officials, commonly known as The Election Center, are current or former elections officials from heavily blue counties.  "Left-wing activists want to insert 'progressive' groups into our election machinery, making partisan actors a permanent part of how we count ballots in all future elections," Hayden Ludwig, director of public policy research at conservative advocacy group Restoration of America, told The Daily Signal.

The Establishment's 'Gallipoli Campaign' against the American People.  [Scroll down]  Then came the COVID-contorted, mail-in ballot — manipulated, fraud-filled 2020 election.  The stolen election was never as important as the all-out effort to humiliate and vilify Trump and dispirit his voters.  So they locked up J6 election protesters as political prisoners.  They labeled all political dissent as "disinformation."  They promoted Capitol Police lieutenant Mike Byrd for gunning down unarmed veteran Ashli Babbitt in cold blood.  They prosecuted anyone who questioned how a dementia-addled, child-sniffing, lifetime politician who had never been popular outside Delaware could have won fifteen million more votes than "rock star" Obama and more votes than any politician in U.S. history.  Destroying what is left of the "rule of law," corrupt political partisans posing as prosecutors now seek Donald Trump's lifetime imprisonment for the Establishment-engineered "crime" of refusing to consent to the ruling class's treachery.  How have Americans responded?  President Trump's popular support has only risen.

Georgia: TTV says They "Have the Goods" on State Voter Rolls in 2020.  Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips of True the Vote (TTV) believe they have the goods to prove that "Trump was right" about the 2020 election in Georgia.  Their work concerning the state's voter rolls allegedly proves that at the time of Raffenperger's Nov. 20, 2020 certification, there were, according to Engelbrecht, "364,000 ineligible voter records," of which approximately 67,000 actually voted in the 2020 election.  UncoverDC spent some time this week talking with Engelbrecht about TTV's investigation of Georgia's voter rolls.  Engelbrecht and Phillips both unequivocally believe Trump was justified in questioning Georgia's results during his Jan. 2, 2021, phone call with Raffensperger and others.  Ironically, Engelbrecht and Phillips appeared in court on Thursday in Fulton County to request the dismissal of their 2000 Mules lawsuit with the Georgia State Election Board (SEB) blocks away from where Trump would turn himself in because of his alleged "election interference" case.

Stop pretending this is normal.  The Constitution says we will have a national election in a bit more than a year.  That is one of the more certain things and even that is being questioned.  Pundits are pretending that the coming election will happen and that it will happen with all the normal ups and downs.  Polls are questionable in normal times.  Prognosticating the future can be done with some accuracy in normal times.  This is not a normal time.  This is a roller coaster in a freezing tornado:  Not normal.  It is like the weather, a coupled, nonlinear chaotic not normal system.  No prediction beyond the next sunrise is certain.  We are in a "hold tight and ride" mode and we do not know when this ride will end.  Maybe it will never end.

Was New York's 2022 General Election Valid?  I am a homeschool mother and dairy goat farmer in the state of New York.  After the 2020 election, I founded New York Citizens Audit, a miraculous grassroots team of over 2,000 New Yorkers that has spent tens of thousands of hours analyzing New York's voter rolls and election law.  The most stunning fact we discovered is that New York's 2020 general election was certified as accurate with 338,000 more votes counted than voters who voted.  338,000 votes are simply unaccounted for.  No one knows who cast them.  That number should be zero.

The FBI and Attorney General Nessel Hid These from the People of Michigan — Piles of Fraudulent-Manufactured Ballot Registrations from the 2020 Election.  Two weeks ago, The Gateway Pundit published our exclusive report on MASSIVE 2020 voter registrations fraud that our sources uncovered in Michigan.  The report included information on 8,000-10,000 fraudulent registrations and a police raid on a Democrat election registration group's office in October 2020.  The police found semiautomatic weapons, silencers, burner phones, bags of pre-paid cash cards, and blank registrations in a GBI Strategies' voter registration manufacturing center.  After several days Michigan Attorney General finally responded to our explosive investigation and confirmed our earlier reports.  We continue to hear back from individuals with intimate knowledge of this scandal.

Attorney John Eastman, When Asked if He Still Believes the 2020 Election Was Stolen, "Absolutely, No Question in My Mind" He Replies.  Constitutional lawyer Dr. John Eastman Esq is one of the nineteen co-defendants in the malicious lawsuit brought by Fulton County prosecutor Fani Willis.  Eastman appeared in Atlanta, Ga, today to turn himself in and assert his innocence.  Dr. Eastman gave direct, deliberate and non-pretending remarks to the assembled press pool at the courthouse, and when asked if he still believes the 2020 election was stolen, Dr. Eastman replied, "absolutely, no question, no question in my mind."  Dr. Eastman is looking forward to presenting evidence that will exonerate all the defendants in the case.  [Video clip]

The 2020 Election WAS Fraudulent — And GA GOP Leadership (Among Others) Are Complicit..  [B]y eliminating Border enforcement, the Biden Administration has embarked on what must be most sweeping flouting of law by any Administration in U.S. history.  And the most consequential.  I ask myself:  if they can do this to Immigration law, why wouldn't they have done this to election law?  And what about 2024?  For anyone not a rabid Democrat, late on election night November 3rd/4th 2020, the strong stench of fraud swirled across America: [...] I believe I have watched every Presidential election count to the death since 1968.  I cannot recall any with such a hiatus in counting/reporting, nor one with such decisive late reversals.  Very many others held the same opinion.  They would very likely have joined with President Trump in being suspicious.  This crucial subjective aspect has been largely memory-holed by the MSM.  This pattern of the Democrats almost invariably winning close protracted counts has become more glaring in recent years.

Did the CIA work to rig the 2020 election?  Not steal.  But rig as in distorting the political landscape.  A "rigged" election is not the same thing as a stolen election; stealing requires changing votes.  "Rigging" is about changing the rules, the information landscape, or other factors that can influence voters using illegitimate means.  Spreading misinformation can be a form of rigging, as of course censorship or "debunking" of true information.  I couldn't say if the 2020 election was stolen — there certainly were irregularities as there always are in elections — because any vote changes or illegal ballots have to be in the right place in the right numbers, and no evidence has been accepted by courts indicating that enough illegal votes to change the results were cast.  [Tweet]

How Charities Secretly Help Win Elections.  This investigation reveals the shocking true story of the Everybody Votes campaign — the largest and most corrupt "charitable" voter registration effort in American history — that may have decided the 2020 presidential election and could decide 2024.  Commissioned by Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, funded by the Democratic Party's biggest donors, and coordinated with cut-throat Democratic consultants, the Everybody Votes campaign used the guise of civic-minded charity to selectively register millions of "non-white" swing-state voters in the hopes of getting out the Democratic vote for a 2020 presidential win.  It worked.  Our exclusive research reveals how a little-known organization called the Voter Registration Project (VRP) leveraged connections with billionaire private foundations, Sam Bankman-Fried's mother, and foreign billionaires with a history of breaking U.S. election law to raise $190 million for the Everybody Votes campaign and register 5.1 million people.

Trump Can Prove It.  Establishment politicians and mainstream media have fought harder than on any other issue to convince the public that voter fraud is a conspiracy theory.  But unconstitutional changes to state election laws, unsupervised ballot drop boxes, voting machine errors, mathematically improbable voter turnout, and other examples of outright voter fraud that were denied a chance to be presented in court between the 2020 election and Biden's inauguration can't simply be chalked up as coincidental.  All those things occurring simultaneously make the fraud seem coordinated.  In response to the most recent indictments, Trump's attorneys indicated they finally have a platform to "fully re-litigate every single issue that occurred during the 2020 election," of which there were many.  The most important issue in America may finally get its due.

Georgia Election Workers Caught Jamming Stacks of Ballots Through Machines Multiple Times After Observers Removed from Building.  A new report released in June by the FBI concluded that the female and male Georgia Poll Workers who jammed stacks of ballots through voting machines numerous times on election night 2020 after observers were sent home — did nothing wrong!  According to the report that was recently released the "bulk of the investigation appears to have been conducted in December 2020 and January 2021, but both the State Election Board and the Georgia Secretary of State's office was backed up reviewing claims."  Here again is video of the election workers pulling hidden suitcases out from under a draped table, jamming the ballots through the machines multiple times.  It should be noted that this was not just happening at one table but according to The Gateway Pundit research the election workers were doing this at multiple tables.

Ukrainian Corruption Disqualifies Biden From Serving Another Term.  [Scroll down]  When Trump produced a vaccine years ahead of what had been thought possible and the country started to reopen, recourse was had to the amendment of voting and vote counting rules in the most closely contested large swing states, on the authority of Democratic governors or Democrat-dominated state courts and not the state legislatures as the Constitution requires.  This produced tens of millions of ballots which could not be verified and which were collected and cast by unidentified people and were not the ostensible voters whose ballots they delivered to improvised polling places.  In an election with 160 million votes where 50,000 flipped ballots in three swing states would have changed the outcome, and the courts declined to judge on their merits the 19 lawsuits brought contesting the legality of the voting and vote counting changes, Trump's enemies appeared finally to have disposed of the Trump phenomenon.  An air-tight media consensus has been imposed dismissing Trump's concerns about the elections, but at least half the country has its doubts.

Report Shows GBI Strategies as Part of Massive Left-Wing Dark Money Voting Operation by Democrats in 2020 Election.  The firm at the center of a three-year long voter fraud investigation is also featured in a report this week from the Capital Research Center, identifying the massive 'dark money' used to prop up Joe Biden's flailing 2020 campaign.  The firm, GBI Strategies, was paid millions in non-profit money to 'organize' voters for purposes that appear to be thinly-veiled campaigning.  Meaning that, left-wing billionaires routed money through non-profits to give to GBI Strategies, money that would be difficult to trace and would be spent affecting elections.

Trump And His Team Are Being Indicted In Georgia For Exposing Massive Election Fraud.  Georgia Fraud was the worst of all:
  2,056 felons illegally voted
  66,248 under 18 voted
  2,423 weren't registered at all
  1,043 used a PO Box
  4,926 voted past the reg. date
  10,315 died before the election
  395 voted in two states
  15,700 moved out of state
  40,279 changed county

Muskegon Cover-Up:  Gateway Pundit Investigators Find FBI Has Stalled Investigation and Silenced Officials, No Prosecutions in 3 Years.  Critical information for investigating the Muskegon Michigan voter fraud in 2020 is being illegally withheld from public review.  Investigating systemic voter fraud in the 2020 election in Muskegon requires examining the 8,000-12,000 likely-fraudulent voter applications submitted by Biden campaign-financed GBI Strategies in October 2020, but those files have been withheld from public review on the argument that they are part of an 'ongoing investigation' by law enforcement.  This tactic for evading FOIA at the state and federal level is well-known, but its use here to deny access to public records by removing them and not including a duplicate, is unique.  According to far-left Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel, these admittedly false and fraudulent voter applications were never added to the voter rolls.  But no one can know for sure because the files themselves, in violation of state law, have been sealed and have been 'under investigation' by Nessel's office and the FBI for three years for a criminal case with no prosecutions.  There's no way to know whether a fraudulent application wasn't approved or later resubmitted in a less suspicious way in time to commit voter fraud in 2020.

The Democrats are Certain They Will Never be Held Accountable for the Trump Indictments and Biden Cover-Up.  The success of the Democrat cabal in unconstitutionally changing state voting laws, ballot harvesting and legalizing mass mail-in voting dramatically altered the voting landscape of this nation in 2020.  These steps together with the usual ballot fraud and manipulation by the Democrats in every election cycle resulted in the disputed and questionable win by Joe Biden.  In the wake of the 2020 debacle, many red states shored up their election laws and made changes to mail-in voting.  The blue states have done essentially nothing to ensure voting integrity.  Thus, the solid red states will remain Republican, and the solid blue states will remain Democrat.  Therefore, the 2024 presidential election will hinge on five battleground states:  Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

Trump's Georgia Indictment is the Final Proof the 2020 Election Was Stolen.  The 2020 election was stolen.  The debate is over.  How do I know?  Because both the feds and Georgia just indicted our President for talking about, questioning, and trying to investigate a stolen election.  When the communist thugs, bullies and tyrants make it a crime to question a stolen election, in a country built around free speech, it's 100% proof they stole the election.  There is a perfect precedent.  In the NFL.  The game was called "The Miracle in the Meadowlands."  Everything about that fixed game reminds me of the 2020 stolen election.  It's a perfect match.

Michigan State Police Officer Confirms that GBI Strategies Is Operating in Numerous States.  As previously reported at The Gateway Pundit[,] Democrat operatives were caught in October 2020 in Muskegon, Michigan, a city of 38,000, dropping off 8,000 to 10,000 fraudulent voter registrations in a single drop.  Many with the same handwriting and fake addresses.  Police investigated and found guns with silencers, burner phones, rental cars, and temporary businesses where registrations were stored.  All of these efforts were funded by Democrat campaigns to GBI Strategies.  The firm in Muskegon was not only filling in bogus registrations by the thousand but they were also sending packages of registrations to nearby communities.

Ballot Harvesting and Election Integrity in Michigan.  The world of U.S. election fraud tactics changed forever — in the most fundamental of ways — last week with the Gateway Pundit publication of the alleged 2020 Michigan ballot manufacturing factory.  Days later, the Michigan Secretary of State confirmed that indeed this event did take place, adding a little different spin — the system caught this fraud before it impacted an election.  Interesting that now, three years later, an admitted massive election fraud event did occur — yet not one person has been jailed.  Not one prosecuted.  Not one indicted.  Crickets!  One would think Michigan would have announced such a "catch."  But no, only diligent citizens who dug out a State Police report that would otherwise have lain dormant — forever.  Anyone who now believes Republicans will win 2024 ballot harvesting, while leftists can print new ballots in the basement, is delusional. [...] The election integrity world is different today because the Gateway Pundit outed an official 2020 Michigan State Police report with all the pertinent info.  As sleuths dug in, they found this ballot manufacturing scheme tied to an entity, GBI, operating in 20 states.  Fake, pre-printed ballots by the thousands.  Fake addresses, guns, gift cards.

Muskegon: Who says 'heroes are hard to find?  Muskegon, Michigan's city clerk, Ann Meisch, is a hero.  She noticed something odd about a woman dropping over 8,000 completed voter forms at the city clerk's office and did something about it.  She made a phone call to the Muskegon Police Department and asked them to investigate.  The result is an unfolding story that has uncovered an election fraud ring operating across the country. [...] Meisch, who has worked in city clerk offices for 33 years, noticed that "...in her opinion a quantity of the voter registration forms were highly suspicious and possibly fraudulent... numerous forms appeared to have been completed by the same writer and upon initial examination, addresses on multiple forms were invalid or non-existent."

What Did Michigan Just Hand Over to the FBI?  With Donald Trump's fourth indictment looming and more tidbits dropping about the emerging Biden bribery scandal, I can see why this development in Michigan fell through the cracks.  It's a story that the Left doesn't want to talk about in their news coverage: voter integrity.  It would appear as if the FBI will be taking over a Michigan investigation into 2020 voter fraud in which thousands of fraudulent voter registrations were discovered. [...] Not to be a wet blanket, but this won't remove Biden from office, nor will the FBI take this seriously.  They're too busy covering their tracks over their interference in the Hunter Biden investigations.  Yet, the case does speak to the more significant need for laws that enhance the security of our elections.  Voter integrity provisions are popular, including voter ID laws.  Notice how the latter has evaporated from the Left's grievance list.

nationwide cellular network connects election equipment and gives federal government access to election systems at the precinct level.  A growing majority of Americans know the 2020 election was fraudulent.  Many analysts who have been studying election integrity have concluded that there had to be a two-way connection between local election electronics (electronic poll pads, tabulators, election management systems, voter databases, etc.) and a centralized data collection system responsible for monitoring and manipulating the election.  Fingers have rightly been pointed at all-inclusive election management software, the Albert Sensor system, Scytl and Edison, and the Election Infrastructure Information Sharing and Analysis Center (EI-ISAC).  This incestuous collaboration between the Department of Homeland Security, the Election Assistance Commission, leftist/globalist funding, foreign companies, and their private partners, allowed for the real-time monitoring of all election data, and more importantly, the ability to change the results.

6 Reasons Why Computers Should Not Be Used in Elections.  Dr. Walter Daugherity sits down to talk about his 6 reasons why computers should not be used in elections.  He also talks about how local election officials could not detect attacks, even with L&A tests or audits.  Dr. Walter C. Daugherity is a computer consultant and also Senior Lecturer Emeritus in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University.  He graduated from Oklahoma Christian University with a degree in mathematics, and then earned master's and doctor's degrees from Harvard University, which he attended on a Prize Fellowship from the National Science Foundation.  As a computer expert he has consulted for major national and international firms, and for government agencies.  He helped develop the national computer keyboard standard and invented integrated user training within computer applications as well as various electronic computer interfaces.  [Video clip]

How Can Mail-In Voting Be 'Secure' When Postal Theft Is Rampant?  Democrats' deceptive talking point that universal mail-in voting is completely "safe" and "secure" is collapsing as postal theft becomes rampant throughout the country.  Within the last week alone, CBS News Chicago released several articles detailing a series of incidents involving mail theft and crime throughout the Windy City.  On July 31, for instance, the outlet reported blue drop-off mailboxes in Frankfort and Orland Park "were cut open by thieves," with local law enforcement advising residents to "monitor their financial accounts or credit profiles for fraudulent activity."  On the same day, CBS News Chicago revealed it obtained data from the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) purportedly showing that the agency "hadn't been keeping track of arrow key thefts until 2021" and "hadn't made a single arrest for an arrow-key-related theft between 2020 and March 2023."  For context, arrow keys are used to open blue drop-off boxes and larger mailboxes found in apartment complexes or condos.  An official with the U.S. Postal Inspectors, USPS's law enforcement arm, claimed he felt such information "might not be 100 percent correct."  CBS News Chicago also released two additional articles in the following days detailing other mail-related crimes in the city.  But Chicago is hardly the exception.

Four weird U.S. drinking laws.  [#3] Alaska Requires Sobriety on Election Day:  Alaska bans the sale of alcohol on election day until the polls close.  It's one way to encourage as many people as possible to vote.  In addition to prohibiting alcohol sales on election day, it's illegal in the state to be inebriated at any establishment that sells alcohol.  It's also against the law for bars to sell alcohol at a reduced rate unless it is applicable all week.

What Is the Solution to Save US Elections?  Mike Lindell to Reveal His Plan on Thursday.  This week in Springfield, Missouri, entrepreneur and American icon Mike Lindell, known to many as the "My Pillow Guy", will unveil the solution to save America.  Lindell has worked tirelessly for many months since the 2020 Election with many concerned citizens across the country to ensure that US elections going forward are free and fair.  Lindell's "Election Summit" will take place on Wednesday and Thursday in Springfield, the site of last year's event.  Many Americans from across the country will be there to participate and to take in the information shared. [...] The event will also include a number of election experts and local patriots who have worked tirelessly across the country to ensure the next election is not stolen like in 2020.

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.  This is one such case:  Our analysis finds that a few key vote updates in competitive states were unusually large in size and had an unusually high Biden-to-Trump ratio.  We demonstrate the results differ enough from expected results to be cause for concern.  With this report, we rely only on publicly available data from the New York Times to identify and analyze statistical anomalies in key states.  Looking at 8,954 individual vote updates (differences in vote totals for each candidate between successive changes to the running vote totals, colloquially also referred to as "dumps" or "batches"), we discover a remarkably consistent mathematical property:  there is a clear inverse relationship between difference in candidates' vote counts and and the ratio of the vote counts.  (In other words, it's not surprising to see vote updates with large margins, and it's not surprising to see vote updates with very large ratios of support between the candidates, but it is surprising to see vote updates which are both).

No US Presidential Election in 2024?  In January 2023, US special counsel Jack Smith applied for and received a subpoena for Twitter, specifically for all of Donald Trump's utterances at the site through the years, including the ones he may have never published.  Note: the subpoena came long after Trump left Twitter. [...] Trump left Twitter (was cancelled) on Jan 8 2021, Elon Musk bought it on October 27 2022, and renamed it "X" in late July 2023.  Just so we get our horses and dogs in line.  Special counsel Jack Smith received his Twitter/Trump subpoena with the added provision that it had to be entirely secret, not even Twitter or Trump could know.  US District Court Judge Beryll Howell gave Smith what he wanted, agreeing that if Trump's years-old Twitter past was known, he would become a flight risk.  But both Smith and Howell knew this was absolute nonsense.  Not only is Twitter the last place you turn to when you have nefarious secrets to hide (it's the opposite!), but the man is running for President[...]!  And because of some 5 year old (or so) tweets he would pack in the family and disappear to an (underground) bungalow on Vanatua, never to be heard from again?  I would put this down as the moment when it became impossible for the US to have a presidential election in 2024.  We've had some 8 years of this anti-Trump circus now, non-stop, Hillary, Pelosi, Adam Schiff and Robert Mueller, yada yada yada, but I don't think we've reached the point before where the elections might as well be cancelled.  We're there now though.  And that is a BIG point.  We've let it come far too far.

Biden Won In 2020 The Same Way Soviet Basketball Won Gold In 1972.  Corporate media are returning to their favorite question to ask of any and all Republicans who care about the integrity of elections:  Did Joe Biden win the 2020 election?  A New York Times employee asked Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis the question in Iowa last week.  NBC News correspondent Dasha Burns asked a variant of the question, to which DeSantis gave an extended reply about the proper and improper way to run elections.  Completely uninterested in his substantive reply, she followed it up with: "Yes or no, did Trump lose the 2020 election?"  The question is never asked in good faith, and you can know that with certainty because none of these reporters even came close to asking it from 2016-2020 when the entirety of the Democrat Party refused to accept the legitimacy of Donald Trump's election.  In fact, they eagerly and actively participated in the Russia-collusion information operation designed to overturn the results of that election.  Hillary Clinton was claiming the 2016 election was stolen throughout 2019, and the media generally cheered her on.  But if you need help understanding why the question is never asked in good faith, let's step out of the realm of politics for a minute and consider the men's gold medal basketball game of the 1972 Olympics.

MI AG Dana Nessel Confirms 8,000 to 10,000 Suspected Fraudulent Registrations Delivered to Muskegon Clerk October 2020.  Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel on Thursday confirmed that 8,000 to 10,000 suspected fraudulent registrations were delivered to Muskegon City Clerk prior to the 2020 election.  The far-left Detroit News reported on this latest development on Thursday after reporting by The Gateway Pundit earlier this week.  A redacted police report describes how Muskegon City Clerk Meisch encountered a woman dropping off 8,000 [to] 10,000 completed voter registration applications.  The Gateway Pundit reported that the "registrations included the same handwriting, non-existent addresses, and incorrect phone numbers."  An investigation found that the woman worked for GBI Strategies.  GBI Strategies was funded by dark money super PAC 'BlackPAC,' which paid them $11,254,919 to register voters for Joe Biden.

Why we can say, conclusively, the 2020 vote was rigged.  The Chinese Communist Party, Joe Biden's bankers, have become more than a suspect in the 2020 debacle.  They have been caught red-handed and could do the same in FUTURE elections.  As WND reported exclusively this week, the Chinese-owned company Konnech has signed contracts with 32 major American cities to perform "election services."  By being a part of U.S. election administration, Konnech already has far more details about the people they work with than any American company could acquire legally.  With the assets they have, they could throw any election in the U.S. starting in 2024.  Now, who do you think they are likely to throw the vote to — Joe Biden or Donald Trump?  FBI agents were looking into it through a counter-surveillance sting investigation with True the Vote but were stopped by the brass when the probe landed on their desk.  Thank you once again, Chris Wray.

Will Dems mysteriously turn red Iowa blue?  Bet on it.  The Wall Street Journal this week ran a compelling story entitled, "Why Democrats Lost Iowa," pointing out that Iowa was a "key state that helped elect Barack Obama president."  It observes, "Iowa was once a center of gravity for both political parties during presidential elections and a key swing state.  In recent years it has turned so red that Democrats have little political power in the state and the party's candidates have few reasons to go."  No doubt, Democratic Party leaders read the story and reached the same conclusion about the suddenly red, inconvenient flyover state.

You'll Never Guess Where the Headquarters of the Multimillion Dollar GBI Strategies LLC Is Located.  GBI Strategies LLC, the firm connected to the police report that was covered up in Michigan since before the 2020 Election, has multi-millions flowing through its books and yet it's [sic] reported headquarters is a house. [...] On October 8, 2020 a person dropped off between 8,000-10,000 completed voter registration applications in Muskegon, Michigan.  City Clerk Ann Meisch obviously noticed.  Per a review of the voter applications, it was uncovered that:
  •   numerous forms appeared to have been completed by the same writer
  •   addresses on multiple forms were invalid or non-existent
  •   phone numbers were erroneous
  •   signatures didn't match

Guns, Burner Phones and Fake Registrations — The Buried Michigan Voter Fraud Scandal.  On October 8, 2020, only one month before the 2020 general election, Muskegon, MI City Clerk Ann Meisch noticed a black female, whose name was later redacted from the police report, dropping off between 8,000-10,000 completed voter registration applications at the city clerk's office.  Clerk Meisch immediately noticed that the stacks of registrations included the same handwriting, non-existent addresses, and incorrect phone numbers.  The Muskegon Police Department was contacted and asked to investigate.  On 10/21/20 First Lieutenant Mike Anderson was contacted by Tom Fabus, Chief of Investigations for Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel's Office.  According to the MI State Police report, Fabus asked for Michigan State Police assistance with a joint investigation of alleged voter fraud being conducted by the Muskegon Police Department and the AG.  An investigative task force was formed, and an investigation was initiated.  During their investigation, the state police discovered the women worked for GBI Strategies.  This was included in their police report.  The group had temporary offices in numerous Michigan locations.  The police also identified Gary Bell as the head of the organization.

A Modest Proposal to Defeat the Political Class.  Our political process has had the pungent stench of partisanship and self-dealing for too long.  From the Chicago political machine to the White House Plumbers, from election shenanigans to measures undertaken in the name of a Covid-19 "emergency," most Americans realize our political processes have been corrupted.  Marxist policies and progressivism are layered over our old politics, further suppressing two of the most important identities Americans, regardless of political beliefs, have historically had in common — a strong sense of national unity, and a belief in the sacredness of the election process.  (The death of free and fair elections comes with endless long voting).  Can't we all agree that it is in our national interest to count the vote on election day?  Who could be against that?  (Massive voting by mail could be tied to the undoing of our country.)  If they have nothing to hide, then why not fix this unnecessary and divisive fear for millions of us for the sake of national unity?  This is the nexus for many conservatives who rightfully don't trust Democrat marionettes, because we know there's a puppet master behind the curtain.

Fake ballots in Michigan.  Muskegon, MI City Clerk Ann Meisch is a hero.  She noticed something odd about a woman dropping over 8,000 completed voter forms at the city clerk's office and did something about it.  She made a phone call to the Muskegon Police Department and asked them to investigate. [...] Information was sent to the FBI, which did nothing.  "The FBI failed to follow-up on the alleged election crimes according to Michigan election investigator Phil O'Halloran... the Election Integrity Chair of the Michigan Republican Party."  The Michigan State Police continued to investigate and issued a report that detailed a widespread and well-funded effort to create fake registrations and absentee ballot forms.  It "names 'GBI Strategies' as the organization engaged in what O'Halloran claims is widespread, systemic voter fraud.  The Tennessee group is heavily connected to the Biden campaign and various Democrat campaign committees."

Newly-unearthed memo lays out 'controversial' strategy for Trump to overturn 2020 election: report.  A previously unknown internal memo drafted by a lawyer allied with former President Donald Trump outlines a plan to overturn the 2020 election using fake slates of electors, according to a report.  The lawyer, Kenneth Chesebro, admitted that he was proposing "a bold, controversial strategy" that the US Supreme Court would "likely" reject, according to a copy of the Dec. 6, 2020, memo obtained by The New York Times.  Still, he argued, it would focus attention on alleged voter fraud and buy the campaign time "to win litigation that would deprive Biden of electoral votes and/or add to Trump's column," the paper reported.  Prosecutors say the missive — which was discovered during Trump's third indictment last week — is a critical link to show how Trump and his allies' plot morphed into a criminal conspiracy, the Times reported.  It lays out Chesebro's plan to have false Trump electors cast their electoral votes on Dec. 14.

Michigan State Police Discover Widespread 2020 Voter Fraud and Turn Over Evidence to FBI — Who Apparently Did Nothing.  Stunning discovery being shared by Gateway Pundit about a network of massive ballot fraud and voter registration fraud in Michigan as a result of a city clerk notifying local police.  The investigation uncovered a multi-state voter registration operation and the details within the state police report are quite remarkable.

Massive 2020 Voter Fraud Uncovered in Michigan — Including Estimated "800,000 Ballot Applications Sent to Non-Qualified Voters".  On October 8, 2020[,] only one month before the 2020 general election, Muskegon, MI City Clerk Ann Meisch noticed a black female (whose name was redacted from the police report), dropping off between 8,000-10,000 completed voter registration applications at the city clerk's office.  The Muskegon Police Department was contacted and asked to investigate.  On 10/21/20 First Lieutenant Mike Anderson was contacted by Tom Fabus, Chief of Investigations for Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel's Office.  According to the MI State Police report, Mr. Fabus asked for Michigan State Police assistance with a joint investigation of alleged voter fraud being conducted by the Muskegon Police Department and the AG.  An investigative task force was formed, and an investigation was initiated. [...] The Muskegon city clerk became suspicious when the female, (whose name is redacted in the first part of the police report, but then later, is unredacted), hand-delivered thousands of voter registrations to her office, many of them in the same handwriting.

A New Day, a New Type of Election Fraud.  [Scroll down]  Meet the "shape shifters."  The excellent Wisconsin team, with whom we collaborate, found citizens who moved from all over the state to a single state rep district for a primary.  They moved a couple of months before the election.  They all voted.  Now the good part.  They moved back shortly after the election — to their original homes!  Now that's an artifact.  From that artifact, the Fractal team creates a query we can now run in any election in any county in America — testing for people who left one address, moved to a district with a tight election, voted, then moved back to their same address in less than X months.  This is particularly powerful in stopping leftists from jacking with school board elections.  This organized fraud variant — now called shape shifters — likely existed for decades, but one diligent team found it, and now if it ever happens again, Fractal finds it, reports it, makes it public.

America and the Common Characteristics of Authoritarian Regimes.  [#1] Rigged Elections:  Dictatorial regimes are aware that the world looks upon them with consternation due to their repression of the citizenry.  Hence, they stage periodic elections where the result is predecided.  The leader anointed by the establishment always wins with an unprecedented majority.  To achieve this landslide victory, ballot boxes are stuffed, counting is rigged, electronic voting machines are tampered with, opposition candidates are baselessly smeared, voting rules manipulated to facilitate easy rigging, and neutral observers are banned.  In North Korea, voting is mandatory, but you receive a ballot paper with just one name on it.  There's nothing to fill in, no boxes to tick.  You put the paper into the ballot box.

Infographic: Summarizing the Allegations of Vote Fraud in the 2020 Presidential Election.  Former President Trump has asserted that the results of the 2020 election were tainted by several factors.  As a result, the Biden administration's special counsel indicted Trump for expressing his concerns.  Aside from large-scale Democrat funding operations (e.g., "Zuckerbucks"); state Supreme Courts unconstitutionally altering the methods, times and places for voting; etc., there are additional and noteworthy allegations.  The following infographic summarizes the election-rigging claims. [...]

Arizona RINOs Vote AGAINST Hand Counting Ballots, Say Election Integrity Too Expensive.  "Republican" officials in Mohave County, Arizona have voted down proposals to strengthen election integrity by hand-counting ballots in 2024.  They claim that secure elections would be an unaffordable indulgence.  The Board of Supervisors for the county — comprised entirely of so-called Republicans — decided not to swap dubious machine counting for a traditional hand count by three to two, with one of those who voted against the proposal, Supervisor Travis Lingenfelter, saying that "the first thing that we have to do in Mohave County in good conscious [sic] is to balance the budget."

Desperation Creeps In.  So, the best they could do was to charge Mr. Trump with objecting vocally to an election that looked as rotten as Hunter's uncapped teeth?  We all saw what happened overnight November 3 and 4, 2020:  what the numbers looked like in the swing precincts at midnight and the magic mathematics that swapped tens of thousands of votes over from the Trump column to the Biden column (say, whu?) ... the shutdown of the Fulton County State Farm Arena due to a supposedly leaking toilet and the ensuing monkey business with rolly-bags full of ballots under the tables captured by the closed-circuit cameras... the miraculous wee-hour harvest of ballots in Milwaukee... US Postal Service truck full of completed ballots out of Bethpage, Long Island, that turned up in Philadelphia... Mark Zuckerberg's $419-million-dollar operation using two front orgs, the Center for Technology and Civic Life (CTCL) and the Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR) to staff precinct election boards with party shills and buy votes... the thumb drives and modems in the vote-counting machines....  Special Counsel Jack Smith may find it difficult to prove that expressing an opinion about all that is some kind of crime.  Meanwhile, he's turned Mr. Trump into the poster boy for the many other aggrieved victims of a government weaponized against its own people.

Mississippi's ban on felons voting is struck down... for now.  Last year, activists in Mississippi began an effort to prevent the state's Secretary of State from enforcing a provision in the state constitution that permanently prohibits people convicted of certain felonies from voting.  Republican Attorney General Lynn Fitch rejected the request and the matter was sent to the courts.  Yesterday, a three-judge panel from the Fith Circuit Court ruled in favor of the activists and ordered Fitch to stop enforcing the rule because they declared that it violates the cruel and unusual punishment clause in the federal Constitution.  It was a narrow, 2-1 decision and Fitch is planning to ask the full circuit court to reconsider the ruling as soon as possible.  But if this decision stands, it could have an impact on the upcoming elections.

The Left's Election Litigation Racket Abuses Democracy To Line Their Own Pockets.  In April, the Democratic Party announced it would no longer use its longtime lawyer Marc Elias, and now we know why.  The Democrats got tired of losing, or as Axios put it, Elias' approach often "backfired."  Elias himself does not tire of losing, and here's why.  His lawsuits — parading as a fight for "democracy" by tearing down voter ID, secure drop boxes, and signature matching — have nothing to do with our nation's interests.  Instead, as Elias' allies admitted to Axios, his work is nothing more than "a political strategy that is actually a business strategy," one that lined his pockets with roughly $20 million in revenue from just two clients during the 2020 election, all while generating crazed headlines about Republicans.

Still Doubting the 2020 Election.  NBC is reporting — with a supposed sense of shock — the results of a Monmouth poll that nearly one-third of Americans think the 2020 presidential election was rigged.  And they further reiterate that there is no evidence for fraud.  ["]There's no evidence widespread fraud affected the outcome of the 2020 election, but Trump and allies have spent years undercutting the election's legitimacy.["]  Wow!  It must be so.  The main stream media assure us that the election was honest.  Yet one third of Americans still believe the election was a fraud.  I am shocked, shocked.  Anyone who questions the election result is called a fascist or subjected to a lawsuit or prosecution.  So for the moment, we will not question the integrity of write-in ballots, nor the security of voting machines — to avoid pernicious litigation.  Let us just look at the official results[,] from the official federal government figures.
  In 2016, Donald Trump got 62,984,828 votes, while in 2020, he got 74,223,975 votes — an increase of 11,239,147.
  In 2016, the Democrats got 65,853,514 votes, while in 2020, the Democrats got 81,283,501 votes — an increase of 15,429,987.

Ron DeSantis Effectively Ends His Race for President — Says "Theories" by Donald Trump about 2020 Election Being Stolen Were "Unsubstantiated".  According to a FOX News poll in December 2021, 78% of Republicans believed the 2020 election was stolen.  At least 70% of Republican voters still believe Joe Biden's win was illegitimate, according to a recent poll this week by far-left CNN.  In January 2022, only 17% of Republicans and right-leaning independent voters said they would vote for a candidate that believes Joe Biden won the 2020 election.  On Friday, Governor Ron DeSantis said that the theories by President Trump about the 2020 election being stolen were "unsubstantiated."

The State Farm Late Night Ballot Stuffing Video Was NOT Debunked.  We all know the story, election officials announced they would shut down counting early on election night.  The counting room was then cleared of all election observers and local media reporters.  Then several minutes later, after the room was emptied, at least five election workers entered the counting room, dragged a seemingly hidden suitcase of ballots out from under a table, and began counting ballots again and apparently shoving stacks of ballots through the machines numerous times.

Truth, Accuracy, and Election Fraud.  Examples in the DOJ document abound regarding conduct that constitutes federal election fraud.  A pivotal "Achilles heel" moment occurs at the moment of certification, when the election official attests to the accuracy and legal compliance of the election.  If results are later proven to be inaccurate, the following claim is valid, regardless of "intent":  ["]Malfeasance by election officials acting "under color of law" by performing such acts as diluting valid ballots with invalid ones (ballot-box stuffing), rendering false tabulations of votes, or preventing valid voter registrations or votes from being given effect in any election, federal or non-federal (18 U.S.C. §§ 241, 242), as well as in elections in which federal candidates are on the ballot (52 U.S.C. §§ 10307(c), 10307(e), 20511(2)).["]  The appalling inaccuracy of the nation's voter rolls is not a clerical error, as election officials would have us believe.  It is an offense.

How Did the Dems Win in 2020?  The problem here is that there is no way to definitively know the answer without meaningful (forensic) post-election audits in key states.  This is one of the main reasons why the Left has resisted such audits.  The disturbing reality is that zero states have meaningful (forensic) post-election audits!  None.

Errors found in Fulton County 2020 election audit:  Georgia investigation.  Multiple errors occurred during the audit of Fulton County's 2020 presidential election, according to a consent order approved by the Georgia State Election Board.  "Human error" was the cause for mistakes in the audit, according to state investigators, as the process required paper ballots being sorted by candidate, hand-counted totals being written on paper and then transcribed into computers.  The Atlanta Journal-Constitution obtained the consent order and investigative files through a public records request.  The outcome of the audit wasn't changed by the finding, which still showed Joe Biden receiving more votes than then-President Donald Trump.  The State Election Board approved the consent order June 21, when it also decided to not replace the county elections board, after considering taking it over.

Beware the 'Long Count'.  We need little data to analyze the results of the 2020 Presidential election and the 2022 Arizona Gubernatorial election.  We have been so propagandized that it is as easily recalled by Americans as Mao's little red book is for the Chinese.  Though barely campaigning, unable to speak, and drawing massive crowds, measured in dozens, waving to nobody, on the rare occasions when he was able to muster the energy to leave his basement, Joe Biden remarkably received the most votes of any candidate in US history.  However, his historic popularity notwithstanding, his debatable victory nevertheless still required eking out miraculously close races in the hyper-partisan Democrat strongholds of Atlanta, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and Las Vegas, each of which employed the Long Count.  The Long Count is defined as counting votes well past election day.  Long Counts took place in these cities (and others) because, said the Democrats, "every vote must be counted," even though, in many jurisdictions, early voting was available for months prior to election day on November 3, 2020.  Even with modern technology, for some reason, 21st-century Americans are unable to count votes, even over a period of two months, so we now also count votes well past election day.

Forensic Study Into 2020 Detroit, Michigan Election Finds Up to 34,000 Illegal Ballots.  A national expert in criminal forensics completed a report into the 2020 election in Michigan and has found further evidence of chronic, systemic, voter fraud especially among absentee ballots in that challenged election.  The firm is Speckin Forensics and they have wide national experience testifying in criminal trials.  Through their investigation where they were allowed limited access to the 2020 ballots in Wayne County which covers Detroit, they found:
  •   A significant number of absentees in different precincts illegally had no signed ballot application.  Many absentee ballots had no request whatsoever, in the two primary precincts examined the rates of illegal ballots were 12% and 20%.
  •   Absentee ballots often had a lighter tone and shade to the printing.  The Detroit clerks even commented to the Speckin team that the type of paper felt different.
If the numbers of absentees missing a ballot request are extrapolated out to the rest of Wayne County, Speckin reports, "with approximately 170,000 AV ballots, the range at 8%-20% would be 13,600 to 34,000 ballots with no application requesting the ballot."

US election officials are quitting at an alarming rate.  The first job many people take out of college usually doesn't come with a lot of responsibility.  Adam Byrnes's first job is to make sure democracy works in a critical US swing state.  Before graduating with a political science degree from Emory University, Byrnes, 21, applied to be the director of elections for Swain county, a mountainous region of about 14,000 people in western North Carolina.  He was offered the job before he had a diploma in hand and started at the end of May.  He's currently preparing for municipal elections in the county seat of Bryson City, which take place in November, while also laying the foundations for the 2024 presidential contest. [...] The decentralized system of elections in the United States places a lot of responsibility on county-level officials like Byrnes.  And while he may be North Carolina's youngest election director, he's far from the only one learning the ropes during a crucial period for American democracy.

If this is true, the minimum voting age should be 25 or higher.
Dem rep advocates for lesser penalties for teen criminals, saying 'the brain doesn't fully mature until at least 25 years old'.  Rep. Mike Johnson pointed out a rather shocking change in perspective from Democrat California Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee as he headed up the House Judiciary Subcommittee's hearing on "The Dangers and Due Process Violations of 'Gender-Affirming Care' for Children" on Thursday.  Lee had previously stated that teens are not fully capable of making permanent, life-altering decisions until their brains fully mature at 25-years-old, but when it comes to sex changes, she apparently is entirely on board with kids making these kinds of decisions at incredibly young ages.

Why Are Those Who Lawfully Challenged The 2020 Election Being Charged With Crimes?  On July 18th, The Gateway Pundit reported that Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel had criminally charged 16 people who in 2020 were selected to represent the concerns of Michigan voters and serve as an alternate slate of electors, following the 2020 election.  The charges included a list of violations totaling a possible 66 years in prison for the defendants.  Nessel's statement on the case appears below.  [Tweet with video clip]

They are rubbing our noses in their filth.  The deep state stole the 2020 election right from under us.  Biden was chosen because everyone in DC knew he was dumb and corrupt, which made him the perfect figurehead for a government out of control.  Our DC overlords made no attempt to mask their election theft because they wanted to extinguish dissent.  Like the Borg in some Star Trek series, their message is resistance is futile.  Biden stayed in the basement cutting deals while the vote rigging took place elsewhere.  A press that set up cameras in the lobby to document every visitor to Trump Tower after the 2016 election has never bothered to check the records at Wilmington Airport to see whose private jets landed in Delaware to pay tribute to the next president.

True the Vote's Catherine Engelbrecht Responds to GA Charges and Media Smears — With Hard Evidence!  The Georgia State Election Board sued True the Vote, Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips earlier this month to disclose evidence behind the claims made in their popular documentary on organized election fraud and ballot harvesting in the state. [...] True the Vote shared its information with Georgia's Governor Kemp and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) back in April 2021.  Months later in September 2021, True the vote received a response from Governor Kemp's appointee at the GBI, minimizing the evidence provided and providing their decision not to perform any investigation into the ballot trafficking operation.

The GOP Death Wish.  The 2020 election was rigged, much like past elections, with the federal government acting as candidate Biden's campaign arm, colluding with big tech and social media to promote anti-Trump propaganda and suppress anything potentially detrimental to the Biden campaign.  One in six Biden voters would have changed their 2020 vote if they had known the full Hunter laptop story.  But 51 former intel officials, lied through their teeth, burying the story, and interfering in the election.  Talk about sedition.  The corporate media barked and clapped along like trained seals, abandoning any pretense of journalism in favor of serving as state-run propaganda outlets.  When rigging alone didn't work, Democrats stole the election by shutting down election night vote counting, without precedent or scrutiny, only to "find" enough ballots overnight to flip a few counties in a few swing states, enough to turn the election from Trump to Biden.  Where were Republicans?  Such vote shenanigans likely cost Republicans the Senate and almost the House.  Yet any discussion of dodgy elections is labeled as hate speech or insurrection, with elected Republicans staying silent.

Florida Democrats Scurry to Rebuild Mail-in Voter Rolls After New Law Wipes Them Clean.  Florida's wide-ranging new voting law, SB 90, is chock-full of rules that button up election integrity.  Among its many actions is this one:  "limiting the duration of requests for vote-by-mail ballots to all elections through the end of the calendar year of the next regularly scheduled general election."  It's part of Florida's move of mail-in voting from a four-year to a two-year registration window.  This is a smart way to keep the rolls of voters registered to have mail-in ballots automatically sent to them from going stale and accumulating invalid names and addresses.  For engaged voters, this simply means logging onto the state website every two years instead of four to renew their requests for mail-in ballots.  It's as easy and convenient as clicking here and answering the questions.  And of course, being eligible to vote in Florida.  But as any Democrat official will tell you (in so many words), Democrat voters are too stupid to participate in their own society by doing things like having a valid ID or using a computer.  So naturally, party officials are simmering with outrage at the harsh new law.

The Achilles Heel of Mail-In Ballot Fraud.  The difference between the Republican ballot operation and that of the leftists that is the leftists manufacture ballots, whereas Republicans only collect them.  Elections are for big stakes.  Pretty much everything is political, and thus, who controls the Legislature gets the goodies.  If you are a government pro, you live or die according to whether your team is in power.  You do what the pros do — you make sure you control your food source.  The laughable RNC "out-ballot-harvest the left" plan is one any sentient adult knows cannot work.  That of course leaves out Republican state operatives, for whom hope exceeds common sense.

Michigan Election Interference: The Real Story.  [Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn] Benson truly did break the law in a very major way, and her illegal actions changed the election.  Let's make a point by point comparison between Benson's illegal actions and those of the 16 "fakers."  First, however, we need to review the four aspects of the Jocelyn Benson fake election plan:
  [#1]   First, she prevented the adoption of voter ID requirements (e.g., drivers license number or 4 digits of SS number) by claiming that "a voter's signature is the primary and most reliable way of protecting against the possibility of fraud."  Benson made that very false statement at various times and venues.
  [#2]   After touting signature matching as the "primary" method of protecting against fraud, Benson got rid of it.  The secretary did that by telling county election clerks to just "presume" the signatures sent in with the ballots matched the registration signatures.  Why did she do that?  Who knows?
  [#3]   Four months after the election, a judge ruled that Benson broke the law, but by then, the damage was done.  Benson did not appeal.  Why would she?  Her guy won!
  [#4]   Before the 2020 election, the Secretary of State mailed out 7.7 million ballot applications, even though only 3.3 million would be used.  This was not the normal practice in Michigan, but the extra 4.4 million applications came in handy.  Up to 225,000 would be used by ballot harvesters, in the estimate of True the Vote.

Biden Campaign had Plan to Send Alternate Electors if Needed in 2020 — Now They Are Suing Republicans for Doing the Same.  Trump prosecutor Jack Smith has been investigating the process of sending alternate electors for possible prosecution.  This week, far-left Democrat Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel charged 16 of the 2020 Trump electors with eight felonies each.  Many of the Michigan Trump electors are retirees in the 70s and 80s.

What is Election Certification?  We are at a crossroads many did not see coming.  George Orwell's prescient novel, 1984, predicted the dystopian realities that face us today.  One of the famous quotes from 1984 refers to human society in general:  "The choice for mankind lies between freedom and happiness and for the great bulk of mankind, happiness is better."  Today the question is, will we choose the dwindling illusion of happiness or secure our grandchildren's freedom?  The key that turns every lock bolted against freedom is elections.  We cannot simultaneously have representative government and compromised elections.  The king of America, the law, is tethered to the sovereign, the people, through the elective process.  The loyalty of those we temporarily assign the privilege of writing and enforcing law is checked only by the honesty of our elections.

Getting Biden Wrong.  What should be a priority for those who are working to defeat the present administration is a well-considered ground game.  Telling us more about Democratic outrages will not likely help the GOP. What may is avoiding a repeat of 2020.  Getting the election to take place entirely on election day under bipartisan supervision would be ideal.  If that's no longer doable, then Republicans should make sure that all mail-in ballots are filled out and submitted according to strictly enforced rules.  Drop boxes, where permitted, should only be used during a restricted time period.  Ballots that have been dumped late at night should not be counted; and any mass dumping of ballots of the kind that took place in Philadelphia and Atlanta in 2020 should bring immediate investigation.  Republican officials, if forced to play by the other party's rules, must make sure they collect mail-in ballots as energetically as their adversaries.  Needless to say, Republicans should fight to make sure that voter identification is in force everywhere.  Republicans must work to avoid a repetition [of] the election "rigging" that Molly Hemingway and Miranda Devine found in the last presidential race:  e.g., meetings between electronic media heads and other corporate interests together with BLM representatives to discuss how they could use their combined influence to ensure a Democratic victory.

Arizona's 'Fake' Electors Are The Next Target..  An investigation launched by Arizona's Democratic Attorney General Kris Mayes is seeking another round of indictments against so-called "fake electors" in Arizona, or rather, people who believed former president Donald Trump won the state in 2020.  Mayes — who campaigned during the 2022 midterms on a pledge to investigate the Republican electors — assigned a team of investigators in May to consider charges against a group who lawfully contested the 2020 election results in Arizona.  The investigators are said to have already made "direct" contact with the electors involved.  These so-called "fake electors" include current state representative Jake Hoffman, former state representative Anthony Kern, US Senate candidate Jim Lamon, the chairman of the Arizona GOP Dr. Kelli Ward, and Tyler Bowyer, CEO at the Arizona-based Turning Point USA.

In Michigan, prepping the groundwork for stealing the 2024 election.  In some banana-republic-like maneuvers against dissidents ahead of election time, the State of Michigan has charged 16 Republican state electors with multiple felonies for allegedly attempting to "overturn" the results of the 2020 election.  Their crime?  Reacting to the obvious fraud that happened right before their eyes in that hotly disputed election.  But that's not how the Michigan attorney general playing her own version of Vyshinsky put it. [...] Anyone questioning that and the extraordinary circumstances seen in this Michigan election, and having the temerity to complain about it now faces 29 years in prison.  That's serious third-world, or even Soviet-style repression of free speech.  What exactly are electors expected to do when they see widespread fraud?  Based on Michigan Vyshynsky, they're supposed to bow down and assert what they know to be untrue, the way Stalin did to keep his sycophants in line.  And what's remarkable is that it's being done three years after their side "won" the 2020 election.  You'd think they'd have more serious priorities, given that whatever the Republican electors did, it didn't matter as far as the results went.

Two MI GOP Electors Explain Why They Cast A "Back Up Slate" of Electoral Votes in 2020 Election — Blows Up Fake Case by Activist Dem AG.  The 2020 election results in Michigan were some of the most hotly contested in the United States.  The Gateway Pundit shared multiple videos showing surveillance footage that shocked Michigan residents and people across the United States, who believed they were likely watching mass-organized voter fraud take place on camera.  Curiously, MI AG Dana Nessel and Michigan's Soros-funded SOS Jocelyn Benson didn't feel compelled to investigate any of the videos that went viral after the Gateway Pundit made them public.

Michigan Charges 16 People — Average Age 69 — for Believing Trump Won.  Sixteen Republicans in Michigan — including former state co-chairwoman Meshawn Maddock — are being prosecuted by Democrat Attorney General Dana Nessel for putting themselves forward as alternative electors after the 2020 election results were contested.  AG Nessel accuses the would-be electors — who average out at 69 years old between them — of having "undermined the public's faith in the integrity of our elections," and has hit each of them with eight felonies, among them forgery, conspiracy to commit forgery, and election law forgery.  Several of the charges carry prison terms of up to 14 years.  "Undoubtedly, there will be those who claim these charges are political in nature, but where there is overwhelming evidence of guilt in respect to multiple crimes, the most political act I could engage in as a prosecutor would be to take no action at all," the Democrat claimed.

The Left's 2020 'Fake Electors' Narrative Is Fake News.  Headlines recently proclaimed that eight of Trump's "fake" electors accepted immunity deals.  Of course, in reporting the news, the corporate outlets all missed the real story — that the electors' testimony failed to incriminate anyone, including Trump, and that the county prosecutors engaged in massive misconduct.  Equally appalling, however, was the corrupt media's continued peddling of the "fake electors" narrative.  There were no "fake" electors.  There were contingent Republican electors named consistent with legal precedent to preserve the still ongoing legal challenges to the validity of Georgia's certified vote.  Nor was appointing an alternative slate of electors some cockamamie plan devised by Trump lawyers.  On the contrary, Trump's election lawyers and the contingent electors followed the precise approach Democrats successfully used when the date Congress established for certifying an election came before the legal challenges John F. Kennedy had brought in Hawaii were decided.  And that approach allowed Kennedy to be certified the winner of Hawaii's three electoral votes on Jan. 6, 1961, even though the Aloha State had originally certified Richard Nixon the victor.

New Database Shows a Single Vote Has Altered Outcomes in Hundreds of Elections.  Most people in the media don't want you to believe that election crimes are committed.  They say it is easier to find Bigfoot.  But election crimes are not a myth, and The Heritage Foundation has been systematically documenting them for years.  When those who deny the crimes occur are forced to confront the data, the response sometimes shifts to "It doesn't matter anyway."  After all, does it really matter if a single vote is improperly or criminally cast?  A new database created by the Public Interest Legal Foundation shows that one single vote has altered the outcome of hundreds of elections.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Democrats often win by one vote, but I don't think Republicans are so fortunate.

Can elections have integrity?  To be accurate, elections must meet extremely stringent standards established under federal law by the "election deniers" of 2000: Democrats.  The allowable error rate in a federal election, in order for that election to be valid and therefore certifiable, is 1/10,000,000 ballot positions or 1/125,000 ballots (see 3.2.1).  According to the federal election assistance commission that set this legal standard, "this rate is set at a sufficiently stringent level such that the likelihood of voting system errors affecting the outcome of an election is exceptionally remote even in the closest of elections."  When it comes to federal elections, there are no honest mistakes.  New York's 2020 general election provides countless fine examples of how this standard is being ignored.  With a claim of 8.6 million votes cast, the board of elections is allowed grace regarding exactly 69 ballots.  Yet the NYSVoter database, the official registration record according to the law (Title III, Sec. 303 [a][1][A]), shows 740,000+ votes cast by registration records that are illegal or invalid.

10 Paradigm Shifts that Shatter Establishment Illusions.  [#5] Every presidential election this century has been tainted by allegations of fraud.  Instead of remedying this public perception, election officials and courts have made things worse.  Voting has turned into a months-long affair that begins before candidates have even debated and often extends many weeks past Election "Day."  Electronic voting machines remain vulnerable to hacks.  Mail-in balloting devoid of fundamental security, identity checks, or signature verification has transformed contests into ballot-stuffing fraud-fests orchestrated by paid political operatives.  Secretaries of state refrain from enforcing election law; attorneys general refrain from prosecuting crimes; courts rewrite statutory law to tilt elections.  Battleground states routinely suffer from inexplicable counting problems that delay the timely reporting of results.  Vote-counting lacks transparency and reproducibility.  When lawyers attempt to challenge results, their professional licenses are often threatened.  Americans overwhelmingly believe that election cheating is pervasive.

Police forcibly remove woman from Georgia county Board of Elections meeting for questioning the 2020 elections.  A woman was forcibly removed by police from a Chatham County Board of Elections meeting after officials said she refused to yield her time during public comment.  Beth Majeroni of Savannah identified herself to WTGS as the woman in the video.  During the regularly scheduled Board of Elections meeting on Monday, Majeroni was removed from the building by law enforcement before they say she eventually tried to reenter the building three more times.  Majeroni said this was because she needed her keys, phone and other belongings in the building.  [Video clip]

Gen. Flynn and Steve Bannon Must Go Under Oath In Smartmatic Case.  Gen. Michael Flynn and Host of War Room Steve Bannon must go under oath and answer questions regarding to Smartmatic's lawsuit against Newsmax.  New Court filings from a Delaware court reveal Smartmatic served subpoenas to both Flynn and Bannon to go under oath and answer questions.  Currently, Smartmatic has accused Newsmax of "knowingly spreading false claims that the voting software maker was part of a scheme to rig the election."  Smartmatic has also sued Fox News and several Trump lawyers for a sum of over 2.7 billion dollars.

Will Someone Please Wake Me From This Nightmare?  There is considerable evidence that the past two elections were rigged against Republicans, yet no measures are taken to insure this does not happen again.  If this is not corrected it could spell the end of our constitutional republic.

Ohio Launches Election Integrity Office To Ensure Transparency In Future Elections.  Ohio is launching a new office dedicated to ensuring transparency in its elections, Secretary of State Frank LaRose announced last week.  According to a LaRose press release, the Office of Data Analytics and Archives, which will be housed within the secretary of state's office, signifies "the first-ever substantive effort by any state to adopt a clear and consistent method for retaining election data."  The office received funding via the DATA Act, which was included in the biennial operating budget recently passed by Ohio legislators.

That's great, but what about investigating previous elections?

Democrats in Massachusetts Look to Give Voting Rights to Foreign Nationals.  Democrat legislators in Massachusetts are looking to give foreign nationals on green cards the right to vote in municipal elections.  A series of bills filed by Democrat legislators in the Massachusetts House and Senate would open municipal voting rights to foreign nationals living in the state on green cards.  In practice, the policy would mean foreign nationals could cast deciding votes in Massachusetts towns and cities for mayor, school committee, city council, town council, board of selectmen, select board elections, school committee referendums, local ballot referendums, or other municipal races.

In a few years, when everybody has accepted this terrible idea, there will be a tiny little incremental change to allow illegal aliens to vote in every election.  By the time the Supreme Court hears about it, the damage will have been done already.

Is the 2024 Election the Last Gasp for America?  If sanity doesn't return to American culture and governance, where are we headed?  Can the elections even be trusted?  I discussed this issue last week concluding that they cannot be trusted.  Are electoral outcomes predetermined?  Are voting machines still connected to the internet?  Will thousands of undeliverable ballots be harvested by postal workers, delivered to unknown locations, to be filled out by Democrat operatives and delivered to selected precincts, run through vote tabulators multiple times until the preordained candidate takes the lead?  Democrats aren't even concerned about the 2024 election.  Biden has few campaign workers and no headquarters.  Why should he?  He already has the necessary votes, as he did in 2020, confident that his vote tally will exceed that of any opponent.  For Democrats, the fix is in, the campaign is theater.  Has Trump or the GOP fixed anything since 2020 effecting a different outcome?  Or will elections even happen?  Will there be a false flag event leading to delayed or cancelled elections for "public safety"?

Why Has Election Day Turned Into Election Month?  Remember when Election Day used to be an actual day?  You'd gather with your family and friends to find out who the next president was going to be.  It was a time to celebrate our republic as Americans went to have their voices heard at the ballot box.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation, of which I am president, is fighting in federal court to restore the "day" in Election Day.  We filed a federal lawsuit in North Dakota to enforce federal law and stop the state from accepting ballots up to 13 days after Election Day.  We allege that North Dakota's law allowing the election to drag on for almost two extra weeks conflicts with federal law.  This case doesn't claim that anyone stole the North Dakota election.  Indeed, North Dakota is only involved in the case because it is one of the most extreme states in accepting ballots weeks after the election.

There are ways to stop voter fraud that uses undelivered ballots.  Jay Valentine makes a strong case that ballots should not be mailed out to addresses for which mail cannot be delivered (vacant lots), at which voters cannot reside (commercial or industrial addresses), or where mail cannot be accurately delivered (apartment or dorm buildings with no apartment number or dorm room number.) He recommends purifying voter rolls so that ballots will not be mailed out to addresses where mail cannot be delivered or voters cannot live.  This can be done by compiling the Undeliverable Ballot Database (UBD).  To support his argument, Valentine quotes a message from a retired mailman who said that he saw hundreds, or even thousands, of returned ballots put in a basket at the post office for "returned/undeliverable mail" until someone came by and picked them up.  It is important to note that these mailed-out ballots are "live ammunition" that can be voted by anyone who picks them up and votes the way they want to.  Some states (such as Texas) require that the voter include parts of a social security number or driver's license number in the returned ballot.  However, this is certainly not a foolproof method, as the requested data is accessible via commercial databases, and fraudsters can find and supply it.

Judge Delivers Major Ruling on Kari Lake's Lawsuit — It's On!.  A judge in Maricopa County, Arizona, has decided not to halt former Republican gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake's attempts to access vote affidavit envelopes from last year's election.  Lake continues to combat what she perceives to be fraudulent acts that she claims contributed to her loss.  Maricopa County had maintained that the signatures on the ballot affidavit are confidential because they are an integral part of the voter registration record, which is protected by state law, with the exception of a few instances in which county attorneys believed Lake fell short.  According to the AZ Capitol Times, late last month, Judge John Hannah rejected the argument based on the fact that county recorders routinely include ballot affidavit envelopes in voter registration records, though not always due to legal requirements or explicit instructions.

Enough!  Do you realize that once you accept the fact that every vote you make now will be swarmed by several fake and fraudulent votes that the gig is up and there's nothing between that knowledge and confronting the criminals in the street?  That anything less is merely a delaying tactic while they better supply and prepare their troops? [...] We cannot let them have this nation without a fight.  We cannot allow our land and sovereignty to be used as collateral for their grift.  I'm looking for a leader, a general to marshal the troops.  This is so far past anything reasonably akin to our founding that thousands of such people must know it as well as I do.

Mike Lawler Introduces Bill To Ban Ranked-Choice Voting In DC.  Republican Rep. Mike Lawler of New York has introduced a bill to ban the practice of "ranked-choice voting" in Washington, D.C., which left-wing activists have sought to propose as a ballot initiative in 2024.  A left-wing group, Make All Votes Count D.C., filed a ballot proposal to impose a system of ranked-choice voting in the district, whereby voters would rank all candidates on the ballot for an office according to their preferences, instead of voting for only one candidate under the current system.  Lawler's bill, known as the "District of Columbia One Vote One Choice Act," would bar the district from this practice and empower the Attorney General to sue D.C. for compliance, according to a copy of the bill that was obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Watchdog Sues North Dakota for Counting Ballots After Election Day.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), an election integrity group, has filed a federal lawsuit against North Dakota election officials for the state's law allowing mail-in ballots to be accepted and counted after election day.  On Thursday, PILF filed the lawsuit in the district court, claiming that North Dakota's law that allows state election officials to accept and count mail-in ballots up to 13 days after election day violates federal law.  "Election day has ceased to be a day," PILF President J. Christian Adams said in a statement.  "Instead, we have election month because states accept ballots that arrive days and even weeks after election day."

Do Americans Still Trust Our Elections?  Were the votes counted honestly or accurately?  Remember how Fox News called Arizona for Biden with only a few percent of the votes tabulated.  And how several swing states immediately thereafter stopped counting votes on election evening with Trump leading, only to resume the next day, Biden now ahead.  All delayed counting gave votes to Biden, not to Trump.  What are the odds of that?  This Twitter thread by Tom Elliott chronicles multiple episodes of election corruption and interference at the hands of the federal government in collusion with big tech and social media giants.  Aside from ballot-counting irregularities and voting machines connected to the internet, federal intelligence and law enforcement agencies influenced past elections by spying on one candidate and ignoring potential crimes of another candidate, both in 2016 and 2020.  They had the willing and eager cooperation of corporate media, big tech, and social media to push or suppress news beneficial or detrimental to their favored candidate.  Can we trust our election results?

Attorney who challenged Trump 2020 election results relinquishes law license.  Attorney Lin Wood, known for filing challenges seeking to overturn former President Donald Trump's 2020 election loss, is giving up his law license instead of facing possible disbarment.  On Tuesday, Wood asked officials in Georgia, his home state, to "retire" his law license in light of "disciplinary proceedings pending against me."  In the request, Wood acknowledged that after relinquishing his license, he is "prohibited from practicing law in this State and in any other state or jurisdiction and that I may not reapply for admission."  Several states have considered disciplining Wood for pushing the former president's debunked claims that widespread election fraud led to President Joe Biden's victory.

Obama-Appointed Judge Blocks Florida's Election Law Banning Non-Citizens From Collecting Voter Registration Forms.  An Obama-appointed federal judge on Monday issued a preliminary injunction against Florida's election law that imposed limitations on third-party voter registration organizations.  In May Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) signed SB 7020, a law that barred non-citizens from handling or collecting voter registration forms.  One of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit is an immigrant from El Salvador who works for "Mi Vecino," a third party voter registration organization.  US District Judge Mark Walker said the election law banning non-citizens from handling voter registration forms is unconstitutional.

A Line of Defense Against Mail-in Ballot Fraud.  The only way to stop the government, in particular the United States Post Office, from gathering hundreds of thousands of loose ballots, all of which go somewhere other than to Republican candidates — is to stop those ballots in the first place.  We know, from numerous sources, that the Post Office is one of several ballot-gathering apparatuses of the Left.  How much ballot harvesting at evangelical churches is needed to make up for government-sponsored ballot harvesting — industrial scale?  A key to winning in 2024 is to identify every, or as close to every as technology and diligent work can enable — every ballot being sent out that will land in that "basket" that "somebody" later picked up.  What are the addresses on those ballots?
  •   Ballots mailed to vacant lots — or in Arizona, street corners.
  •   Ballots sent to apartment buildings without the unit or APT number.
  •   Ballots sent to college dorms for students registered there for decades.
  •   Ballots sent to fraternities with a 105-year-old student.
  •   Ballots sent to churches — which have no bedrooms, thus cannot be someone's domicile.
  •   Ballots for the person who moved — over a year ago.
  •   Ballots mailed to hotels and casinos.
  •   Ballots where the address was modified — by the voter commission (as in Arizona) — the week those ballots went out, thus missing the recipient.
  •   Ballots sent to Manchurian restaurants, laundromats, banks, and 7-Elevens — all of which are not valid addresses for voters.
  •   Ballots sent to UPS and FedEx boxes — sometimes to a dozen people living in that little box.

In Defense of Donald Trump.  [Scroll down]  The number of written affidavits submitted by witnesses to 2020 election malfeasance in Georgia is uncertain here.  However, between January 9 and January 14, 2020, over forty of these witnesses gave videoed testimony at Cobb County Republican Party Headquarters.  Half of those testimonies are featured on this NTD web site.  At least six of these witnesses, each in separate instances, in three separate counties — Cobb County, Fulton County and Clayton County — report to encountering, between them, thousands of mail-in ballots, in pristine condition — without creases in the paper; showing that these ballots were never folded and mailed.  All these ballots were identically marked for Joe Biden.  Add to those six witnesses a poll manager in Fulton County who testifies, under oath, that she and a co-worker, also came across a "batch" of uncreased mail-in ballots.  "Every single ballot was absolutely identical.  They appeared to be printed..." she reports.  "98% of these ballots were for Joseph R. Biden."  Two ballots were for Donald Trump and one for Joe Jorgensen.  So now we have at least seven individuals who witnessed significant quantities of mail-in ballots that were clearly counterfeit.

Harris County Elections Administrator Fails to Appear for Court Deposition.  Harris County Elections Administrator Clifford Tatum did not show up for a scheduled deposition last Friday over pending legal challenges to the county's 2022 general elections.  Attorney Elizabeth Alvarez, who represents 17 of the 21 Republican candidates contesting elections, was scheduled to depose Tatum via Zoom last Friday at 10:30 a.m., but according to a certificate of non-appearance filed by the court reporter, Tatum failed to attend.  Judge David Peeples, assigned to hear all the Harris County election contests, did not take up discussion of Tatum's failure to appear during a conference hearing Thursday, since attorneys representing Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo are on vacation this week.  Tatum participated in a deposition last month for the case filed by Republican Erin Lunceford against Democrat Tamika Craft regarding the contest for the 189th District Court, but no explanation for his non-appearance regarding the other contests last week has been filed.

The Democrats' Definition Of Democracy Is Like The Marxist Definition Of Peace.  The criminalization of politics is only one iteration of the left's doctrine that politics are war by other means, though.  The Democrats, with in-kind aid from the media, are also trying to bully the Supreme Court into submission to their will.  Their message to the Court's conservative justices:  Rule our way or we will harass you until you resign.  In this war with multiple fronts, the Democrats are attempting to establish a permanent majority through a direct assault on elections.  We're talking about far more than the "cabal" that was mobilized in 2020 to guarantee the presidency for Joe Biden.  The party is determined to federalize elections with rules that would put our voting system in the hands of Deep State bureaucrats and political insiders rather than the locals we live among, and codify practices that are illegal in most of the country.  This would end our political system as we've known it, with its crucial checks and balances, and eventually replace it with a Democratic Party dictatorship.

Records: 1,400 Voters Flagged as Foreign Nationals in North Carolina.  The North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE) flagged more than 1,400 registered voters as foreign nationals prior to the 2014 midterm elections, records obtained by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) reveal.  In a detailed report, PILF researchers unveil the extent to which the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) of 1993, known as "Motor Voter," has made it easier for states to wrongfully register foreign nationals to vote.

Georgia Won't Fix Its Dominion Machines.  PhD Scientists Are Mortified..  Technology experts are warning that the state of Georgia's election results will continue to be viewed with suspicion if Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger refuses to address the grave concerns published in the recently released Halderman report.  "Raffensperger has lumped us with the election deniers," David Jefferson, a computer scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and an expert on election technology told POLITICO.  "But we cannot, out of fear of that confusion, stop talking about these vulnerabilities.  They are real, they are there, and they must be addressed."  The Halderman report uncovered nine "critical vulnerabilities" in Dominion Voting Systems' machines and found that a "dishonest election worker... with just brief access to the scanner's memory card could violate ballot secrecy and determine how individual voters voted."  But Raffensperger, who is ultimately in charge of election oversight, doesn't seem concerned, [...]

Unspooling the Coffee County, Georgia Voting System Breach and Continuing Cover-Up.  At first glance, a closed-door executive session of the Board of Elections at the Coffee County Courthouse in the battleground state of Georgia appeared to involve nothing more than discussion of that day's resignation letters from then-Election Supervisor Misty Hampton and her assistant over their purported cheating on timesheets.  But the previously undisclosed, simultaneous presence of an unacknowledged quorum of County Commissioners at that executive session — a secret meeting during a secret meeting, a game-changer confirmed by The BRAD BLOG — combined with curious doth protest too much efforts the County is still using to defend its secrets about the supposedly humdrum assembly, indicate the February 25, 2021 meetings (now known as meetings plural) and surrounding events were the nexus of a much broader statewide, perhaps even nationwide, cover-up.

2024: How to Out-Compute the Left.  The left owns the election apparatus — voting equipment, ballot-manufacturing, vagrant habitats, election commissions, media intimidation of judges not to look at election fraud and driving out any lawyer who raises a valid case.  Electioneering, by both sides, currently runs 1970s technology. [...] Ninety percent of current election fraud comes in two buckets: election commissions jacking with voter rolls like Arizona and Wisconsin and mail-in ballots collected and illegally voted like everywhere.  Neither fraud bucket is thwarted by organizational solutions — both can be stopped with real-time compute power.  Let's define the terrain.  Twenty twenty-four will be won or lost in six swing states.  In each swing state, 2024 will be won or lost based on fraud turnout in two or three counties.  The leader of the free world, the end of the Deep State, for many the future of America as they have known it depends on about 17 counties.

A Look at Society Shows an Orchestrated Decline.  Something fundamental has been lost for us all, and that is too many people have lost faith in our system.  Many election officials are openly partisan with little to no interest in open, free, and fair elections.  According to the Census Bureau regarding the 2020 presidential election, "Many voters used alternative voting methods, and there was a large shift to early voting and voting by mail."  Voting by mail is an invitation to fraud and disproportionately benefits Democrats.  It undercuts the importance of taking the time and effort to show up at the polls on a particular day and participate in a sacred manner enshrined within the American experience.

Saying the Quiet Part Out Loud.  Whenever I hear someone say that the battle for America's future is already lost because of institutionalized election-rigging, I always think, "The more that people understand the voting process as rigged, the less important fraudulent elections become."  The recognition of injustice is far more potent than its imposition. [...] So, if Americans today no longer trust elections that have turned into months-long affairs inundated with mail-in ballots devoid of voter identification or secure chains of custody, that's a good start.  If voters are fed up with elections that lack transparency, statutory fidelity, timeliness, and prompt reproducibility, then we're moving in the right direction.  When elections are correctly understood as tainted by fraud, then we can finally have a "national conversation" about election illegitimacy.  We can talk about the unbelievability of Joe Biden winning more votes than anyone in history.

Election Machine Report Hidden By Government Showing How Votes Can Be Flipped.  [Video clip]

The GOP is Losing the Vote Fraud War.  A Rasmussen poll taken in October of 2021 found that 56% of all likely voters believed that cheating affected the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.  Another Rasmussen poll dated April of 2023 revealed that 60% of all likely voters believed that cheating affected the outcomes of many 2022 midterm elections.  Unsurprisingly in a Rasmussen poll published on June 14, 2023, 54% of all likely voters believe that cheating will determine the outcome of the 2024 presidential election.  For a majority of the American electorate, and for a much higher percentage of Republicans, the issue of whether there was rampant cheating in the past two election cycles is no longer in question and their concern about the outcome of the 2024 election is fully justified.  The Republican National Committee (RNC), beyond issuing the usual fatuous press releases and reports about what they are going to do, has done nothing of substance on the ground to offset unabashed Democrat cheating.

Dominion Voting Machine Farce — Going Bankrupt After Getting $787M?  As reported, the Halderman report is out, which details all the ways the Dominion machines could be hacked.  The information was hidden until now by Judge Totenberg, a far-left judge whose sister Nina Totenberg writes for the far-left at NPR.  Halderman's report was hidden because it shows the election could be hacked, but he also claims there is no evidence the machines were breached.  Some of the flaws he cites would make it very difficult to detect, and we don't know how hard he tried to detect hacking.  Halderman concluded there were "multiple severe security flaws."

How This Legal Group Plans To Halt Democrats' Jihad Against Election Integrity Laws Ahead Of 2024.  It's no secret by now the 2020 election was fraught with complete chaos and confusion.  In addition to leftist billionaires pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into local election offices to alter election operations, the contest was marred by Democrat-backed groups' orchestrated legal campaign to change state election laws in their favor.  Regime-approved media were even running stories months before the election forecasting such a strategy.  In February 2020, for instance, Politico ran an article detailing how "a constellation of left-leaning groups" were "spending millions of dollars" to launch "an avalanche of voting-rights lawsuits against state laws they say suppress participation in elections." The lawsuits were widespread in nature, targeting provisions related to voter ID requirements, voter-roll maintenance, ballot signature verification, and more.  Whether it was Wisconsin, Georgia, Pennsylvania, or Michigan, states all over the country were barraged with Democrats' legal blitz.  In order to prevent similar chicanery from continuing in future electoral contests, an election integrity group known as Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections (RITE) is launching its counterstrategy ahead of the 2024 election.

Halderman Report Released in Georgia.  Obama Judge Amy Totenberg sealed and covered up the results of an investigation of voting machines in Georgia.  This report has still not been released.  This week CISA released a report showing material discrepancies in these systems while attempting to downplay these material issues. [...] Obama Judge Amy Totenberg is the sister of NPR's far-left correspondent Nina Totenberg. [...] In 2021, Judge Totenberg committed her gravest offense as a judge.  She sealed and covered up the results of the Halderman report in Georgia.  Up until this week, we did not know what is in this report.  Halderman's investigation into the voting machines in Georgia started before the 2020 Election and was completed in July 2021.  Steve Bannon interviewed Kurt Olsen about cybersecurity analyst J. Alex Halderman, who found flaws in Dominion voting machines, and warned about the potential for future attacks.  Judge Totenberg sealed the report.  According to court documents, Halderman wrote his report after he was given 12 weeks of access to an unused Dominion ICX voting machine.

The 2024 Reality TV Show to Blow Up Leftist Election Fraud.  We have written about how the data for the six swing states show enough sovereign voter fraud (the election commission is in on it) and phantoms to overcome any likely Trump vote majority.  Accumulating events indicate that leftists may be helping Trump blow through their fraud firewall.  In each swing state, there are from 200,000 to 400,000 phantom voters or addresses or both locked into the voter rolls.  Three years of volunteer election integrity work has done little to reduce these numbers.  While phantoms were found by the tens of thousands, few were removed.  Little has been done to thwart county or state officials augmenting voter roll data to help leftist candidates.  Trump is currently unlikely to win any swing state by enough votes to overcome the fake ballot stash each state's leftists and RINOs prepared against him.

Box of 289 Absentee Ballots from 2020 Election Discovered in Michigan Storage Unit.  A Michigan official says approximately 300 absentee ballots from the 2020 election were discovered in a storage unit in Genesee County.  Thetford Township Supervisor Rachel Stanke found the ballots thanks to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), Just the News reported Friday.  Stanke then brought the issue to the attention of the township board and its residents.

OKI Ballot Printer Company Sends "Response to Factual Errors in Maricopa County Elections Report".  Maricopa County's ballot printer source, OKI Data Americas, recently responded to the County's sham ballot printer investigation, debunking false claims and demanding a corrected report from the Maricopa County Attorney's Office.  According to OKI's statement, Maricopa County did not even contact the company, and they were "completely unaware that an investigation was underway."  The Gateway Pundit reported on Maricopa County's Ballot-on-Demand Printer Investigation led by former Arizona Supreme Court Justice Ruth McGregor.

If the Electoral System Were Actually Free and Fair.  If elections were free and fair, then we would see the best Americans elected to federal, state, and local governments, usually though we don't.  If elections were free and fair, then the least fit to govern candidates would not keep "winning" seats, but they often do.  If the elections were free and fair, then our government would not need to weaponize its agencies against its critics, but it does.  If the elections were free and fair, then our elected officials would not act in a blatant disregard of their voters' will... but many of them do.  Take, for example, Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon, who continues to release violent criminals to the streets despite the (often deadly) consequences for countless victims, widespread criticism by law enforcement, and the public outrage his pro-crime approach elicits.

RNC Canvassing Lists: The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight.  There is nothing more fundamental to electioneering than taking a list of registered voters, knocking on their doors, pitching your candidate, handing each a flyer, and getting them all out to vote.  This is the building block of election management.  It is stunning how absolutely incompetent the Republican Party is performing this fundamental task.  Last week, NBC News did a story about how the canvassing for Republican candidates was so bad that it likely lost the Senate elections in Nevada and Georgia, and probably others as well.  Our Republican Party pals could not deliver a list of voters that was close to accurate!

Postal Service Releases Final Report — Contract Driver Jesse Morgan Vindicated.  As The Gateway Pundit reported in 2020, election fraud whistleblowers came forward in December following the controversial election, including one who witnessed the shipping of an estimated 144,000-288,000 completed ballots across three state lines on October 21.  The new information was made public at a press conference by the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society, a national constitutional litigation organization.  The Amistad Project said that they have sworn declarations that state over 300,000 ballots are at issue in Arizona, 548,000 in Michigan, 204,000 in Georgia, and over 121,000 in Pennsylvania.

The Razor-thin Margin.  [Scroll down]  Consider the 1960 results in the states of Texas and Illinois.  In Texas, Kennedy received 1,167,567 (50.52%) against 1,121,310 (48.52%) for Nixon, for 24 electoral votes.  In Illinois, Kennedy received 2,377,846 votes (49.98% of votes cast) versus Nixon's 2,368,988 (49.80%) and therefore gained the state's 27 votes. [...] The Washington Post noted one instance in Texas:  "In Fannin County, which had 4,895 registered voters, 6,138 votes were cast, three-quarters of them for Kennedy."  More votes cast than registered voters — where have we heard that recently?

Are National Events Today Being Staged?  [For example,] The 2020 Presidential campaign whereby Joe Biden sat secluded in his basement without campaigning at all while Trump crisscrossed the nation, holding rallies with tens of thousands of people showing up to listen to him all over the nation.  [And] The 2020 General Election whereby vote counting tabulation stopped for the first time in the history of America with Trump ahead, only to have his lead vanish when vote counting resumed.  People in New Zealand actually reported they saw the vote count flip on live television, with the numbers of votes for Donald Trump going to Joe Biden in an instant.  The multiple predictors of election outcomes that had been right in the past suddenly wrong in predicting Trump over Biden.

Jesse Morgan and the 200k Missing Ballots — an Update.  Jesse Morgan drove a tractor trailer for a contractor working for the U.S. Postal Service.  Shortly after the 2020 election, Morgan made these claims at a press conference held by the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society:
  •   On October 21, 2020, Jesse drove his truck and trailer from Bethpage, New York, to Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, loaded with as many as 288,000 completed ballots.  In addition, there were two large trays of mixed mail, bound for Lancaster.  Those were in the front of the trailer.
  •   Jesse drove the trailer to Harrisburg, but was not allowed to unload.  After a six-hour wait, he was told to drive to Lancaster, without unloading at Harrisburg.  In addition, the supervisor in Harrisburg refused to give him any paperwork to document his arrival in Harrisburg or his six-hour wait, which normally would justify extra compensation.
  •   Jesse Morgan was perplexed by these instructions because "95 percent" of the load was for Harrisburg, and that mail would have to be unloaded before anyone could get access to the Lancaster mail bins.  After that, the Harrisburg mail would have to be returned to the trailer and driven back to Harrisburg.  Even for the government, that is slightly inefficient.
  •   As instructed, Morgan drove the tractor trailer to Lancaster, and parked it in his usual spot.  The next morning, the trailer had disappeared, without explanation.  The trailer and the ballots were gone, and no one would explain to Morgan, or anyone else in this world, what had happened.

How did hundreds of noncitizens end up on Chicago's voter rolls?  Hundreds of noncitizens have been kicked off Chicago's voter rolls after admitting they were never supposed to have been registered in the first place, according to a new study that blames the Motor Voter Act for how the names got added in the first place.  Since 2007, the city has removed 394 people from its voting lists after deciding they were actually foreign nationals who, under the law, are ineligible to vote.  City records show that 20 of the noncitizens did actually vote, casting a total of 85 ballots, according to data compiled by the Public Interest Legal Foundation.

Maricopa County Elections Officials Illegally Break into Sealed Election Machines after they were Certified and Before the Election — Inserting Reprogrammed Memory Cards.  A new video exposes Maricopa County's secret machine tampering, where they reprogrammed the voting machines on October 14th, 17th, and 18th so that 59% of them would fail when Republican voters came in to vote on Election Day in 2022.  As The Gateway Pundit recently reported, newly available records show that Maricopa County began "secret" Logic and Accuracy testing on October 14th, after the statutorily required October 11th test, and the legally required public notice was not given.  This is a smoking gun in Kari Lake's stolen election contest.  Lake attorney Kurt Olsen concluded that "this evidence would support our allegation that this election was rigged."

NEW Video Seems To Show Maricopa Officials Breaking Into Sealed Voting Machines.  New *video evidence* of Maricopa election officials illegally breaking into sealed election machines after they were tested, reprogramming memory cards, and reinstalling them.  59% of these machines would shut down on election day in GOP areas.  [Video clip]

It Was Always Only About Power With the Left.  Prominent leftists from Jimmy Carter to Hillary Clinton also had been on record following the 2016 election claiming that Trump was an illegitimate president and the 2016 election had been rigged in Trump's favor due to the hoax of Russian collusion.  Hillary Clinton — who paid Christopher Steele to use Clinton-related fake sources to compile fabrications and destroy her 2016 rival — later even bragged she was joining "La Résistance."  The chairman of the January 6 committee that damned Trump's supposed election denialism, Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), himself was an election denialist par excellence, who absurdly voted in the Congress to reject George Bush's popular vote victory in Ohio that decided the 2004 election.  By any fair measure the violence of 2020 was a far greater and more deadly threat to the republic than anything occurring on January 6, 2021.  But most of the 14,000 arrested perpetrators who were responsible for that incredible summer of violence were exempted because their mayhem was deemed politically useful — in the same fashion it was advantageous to turn the buffoonish Capitol protesters into seasoned revolutionaries.  The common denominator was only the Left's efforts to warp events to achieve power.

Five Questions for Prospective Republican Candidates.  We may well be living in a "fake election" era, when legalized ballot fraud, months-long voting, and nonexistent voter identification requirements give the Uniparty insurmountable advantages in "selecting" compliant "representatives" for the people.  But voting in the largest numbers possible will continue to highlight the obvious election rigging.  If for no other reason than that it makes the fraudsters' jobs that much harder, voting still matters.  Force them to explain how precincts can turn out more votes than residents!  There's a reason the State-controlled media never point out that Joe Biden supposedly won fifteen million more votes than Barack Obama did in 2012 and more votes than any presidential candidate in history:  nobody would believe that reality if forced to confront it.  That's why, even as the Pravda press covers up the Biden family's quid-pro-quo crimes and pretends Dementia Joe's gibberish proves anything other than idiotic incompetence, the Baghdad Bobs on TV never trumpet Biden's 80 million votes. [...] What I want is for Republican candidates to verbally acknowledge that numerous instances of statistically improbable results, days-long vote-counting, anonymous mail-in ballot dumps, late-night vote-tally flips, and unbelievable hijinks occurring in Democrat precincts where voting machines inexplicably break down, vote centers randomly flood, and ballots are miraculously "found" all add up to a well organized, well funded, and systemic vote fraud operation that has cheated voters and invalidated many recent elections.  Even when it is clear that mass mail-in balloting has enabled Democrat-controlled cities to print enough ballots to throw statewide elections, the Paul Ryan RINO coalition sees nothing.  Even when fifty-plus Intelligence Community officers push propaganda and censorship to manipulate election outcomes, Uniparty Republicans see

The Vote Fraud Monster Is Coming for Ted Cruz.  We deal in a world of imperfect pols — it's just frustrating to see our imperfect pols treated with different rules from their imperfect pols.  Texas, like a lot of conservative states, is run by leftists and RINOs.  Take Wyoming — one of the most overwhelmingly red states — yet its Legislature is RINO city.  In Texas, the house leadership was often, and currently is, RINO.  It's a stupid thing.  It's what elected conservatives do:  they run as a conservative, win, then sell out by electing leadership that will eviscerate conservative programs.  They all do it.  There's a bigger story here.  Texas is preparing to go purple in 2024 and take out Ted Cruz.  To do that, there must be industrial-scale voter fraud from the large cities.  Ken Paxton stood in the way.

AI presents political peril for 2024 with threat to mislead voters.  Computer engineers and tech-inclined political scientists have warned for years that cheap, powerful artificial intelligence tools would soon allow anyone to create fake images, video and audio that was realistic enough to fool voters and perhaps sway an election.  The synthetic images that emerged were often crude, unconvincing and costly to produce, especially when other kinds of misinformation were so inexpensive and easy to spread on social media.  The threat posed by AI and so-called deepfakes always seemed a year or two away.  No more.  Sophisticated generative AI tools can now create cloned human voices and hyper-realistic images, videos and audio in seconds, at minimal cost.  When strapped to powerful social media algorithms, this fake and digitally created content can spread far and fast and target highly specific audiences, potentially taking campaign dirty tricks to a new low.

Catastrophic "Loss of Control" Data Breach in NY Elections.  A peer-reviewed study in the Journal of Information Warfare (JIW) confirms a "Loss of Control" breach has occurred in the NYSVoter Database.  A peer-reviewed paper of their results in a respected journal is a hard-won and "significant milestone," according to Marly Hornik, Executive Director of the NY Citizens Audit.  The audit of the voter rolls was led by Marly Hornik and Andrew Paquette, Ph.D., Director of Research, who submitted the paper to JIW.  Paquette "co-founded the International Game Architecture and Design Academy (now BUAS) in the Netherlands after a career in the feature film and video game industries.  He received his Ph.D. from King's College, London, in 2018 for a thesis on the development of expertise."  In July 2021, Hornik and Paquette assembled a group of volunteers in New York that has grown to around 2000 individuals statewide to investigate the state's voter registration rolls.  Hornik presented the group's preliminary findings to attendees at The  Pit, sponsored by True the Vote, in August 2022.

Voter Fraud Convictions Result in Light Sentences.  Election integrity advocates have been warning that the trend of light sentences for those convicted of election fraud will not result in any actual deterrence from further election fraud crimes being committed in upcoming elections.  As reported by Just The News, while prosecutors have been going after those accused of perpetuating voter fraud, the final sentences are often produced as a result of plea deals, and thus often lead to little or no jail time.  "The good news is [prosecutors] seem to be more aggressive about going against these kinds of cases," said Ned Jones, deputy director of the Election Integrity Network.  "But the sentencing is ridiculous.  It's not harsh enough."

KT McFarland: We Now Have Hard Evidence Of Election Interference By Intel Agencies In 2016 And 2020.  K.T. McFarland, who served as President Trump's deputy national security advisor under Mike Flynn for the first few months of the Trump administration, told FBN's Maria Bartiromo on Sunday [5/21/2023] that she believes the FBI, CIA, and the intelligence community will try to interfere in the 2024 election to "protect their own hides" by covering up evidence of interference in 2016 and 2020.  "They will absolutely interfere in 2024.  We're not sure how but they will absolutely interfere, not only because they're not going to like whoever the Republican candidate is, but to protect their own hides," McFarland said.  "They knew they were doing stuff wrong.  They knew they were going to be liable for prosecution."  "They can't possibly admit they were wrong because that undercuts their whole reason for being.  So they're going to continue to have this fake narrative and continue to cover up and pretend that nothing bad went on," she said.

Why Kari Lake Couldn't Close the Deal.  The 2022 stolen Arizona governor's election is an ideal template for 2024 — and it is equally a mirror reflection, with all the moving parts, of 2020.  This week, Kari Lake lost, again, in a court that wouldn't have given her a victory had 240,000 citizens signed affidavits saying their ballots were stolen and changed at gunpoint.  The courtroom exhibits may not have swayed the jurists, but those signature mismatches showed plenty of evidence that Kari Lake's election was stolen by a lack of signature verification — and more.  Kari Lake's election is the template for important American elections from now on.  Lake is a massively charismatic MAGA candidate who politicos know has the legs to go the distance.  She handles the press like how a kindergarten teacher handles unruly kids — except the teacher doesn't make the kids look stupid.  Kari does.  Kari lost because she is naturally gifted and could upend established order.  The leftists pulled out all the stops — just like 2020 and, soon, 2024.

This article is very much like an infomercial, but it may be of some benefit.
Closing Signature Verification Loopholes.  In this FIREAXE.ACADEMY presentation we are going to take a critical forensic look at the Arizona Courts ruling regarding the Kari Lake Signature Verification Lawsuit and its dismissal.  I have already narrated the complete Judges ruling and you can listen to my narration [elsewhere].  However, for the sake of education on this critical matter, for use by a wider audience to understand the importance/relevance of this egregious break in our systems, not to mention those who are interested in assuring our elections in the future are safe and secure[,] I am making this particular FIREAXE.ACADEMY session open for all to hear and review.

A lot of Strange Magic going on with voter rolls and registrations lately.  I do not know how it feels to be a Democratic official, to whom the improbable and miraculous seem to be daily occurrences.  Most times, it appears that even if malfeasance is blatantly obvious as a root cause of said miracle, an "Oops," or "Mistakes were made/lessons learned" or similar pablum is enough to extricate said officials or officials from any serious jeopardy.  Then on they go to the next wonderous happening to appear out of the blue.  Excuses, mind you, that would never in a million years fly for the opposition should they find themselves in similar circumstances.  Getting busted on something blatant is a bump in the road to political dominance for Democrats.  It's been a good couple weeks for examples.  The biggest miracle of the week was in the Republican stronghold of Nassau County, New York.

Leftist Reporter Starts Swearing at Press Conference After Kari Lake Shoves the Truth in His Face.  Kari Lake held a press conference on Tuesday following her three-day Maricopa County Superior Court trial fighting Maricopa County's fraudulent mail-in ballot signature verification procedures.  As revealed at trial by Lake's attorneys and Maricopa County's own data, Maricopa County did not accurately verify tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of mail-in signatures; they couldn't possibly have.  Judge Peter A. Thompson again ruled in favor of Defendants late last night, claiming that "level one and level two signature review did take place in some fashion."  This is a complete lie and he knows it.  But it plays into the Democrat Party's integrity-free election plans.  Anything goes.  Everything will be counted.  This is the end of America.  But Democrats want power.

AZ State Senator Borrelli Orders County Supervisors to Comply With SCR1037 Which Bans Foreign Voting Machines in Arizona.  Arizona State Senator Sonny Borrelli put Arizona County Supervisors on notice this morning with a notice to stop using foreign machines in their elections.  Article 1 Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution gives State Legislatures the power to "regulate the 'Times, Places and Manner of holding elections for Senators and Representatives.'"  As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, The Arizona House and Senate passed Senate Concurrent Resolution 1037, setting official requirements for the use of electronic voting machines in the state and banning the use of those that use foreign components.

Judge Hands Kari Lake Another Loss in Arizona.  A Maricopa County judge on Monday night handed former Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake another loss in her latest election lawsuit.  Lake, a Republican and former local news anchor, lost the battleground state governor's race to then-Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, by roughly 17,000 votes — less than one percentage point — in November.  However, Lake has refused to concede the election and filed a lawsuit over the results, alleging that irregularities in Maricopa County prevented her from winning the county, and disenfranchised Republican voters.  She faced her latest courtroom loss after Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson rejected her claims that Maricopa election officials improperly verified the signatures on thousands of ballots, tilting the outcome in the state's largest county that is home to Phoenix against her.

Election Integrity Experts Release Video on Ranked-Choice Voting.  The Heritage Foundation, in collaboration with the Honest Elections Project and Save Our States, has released a video detailing their concerns over the push to implement ranked-choice voting in states and local jurisdictions.  The video features Hans von Spakovsky, senior legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation, Jason Snead, executive director of the Honest Elections Project, and Trent England, founder and executive director of Save Our States.  Ranked-choice voting is a confusing and chaotic process that forces voters to rank multiple candidates in every race from first to last choice instead of just voting for one candidate.  If no candidate wins more than 50 percent of the first-place votes, then the candidate with the least support is eliminated.  Voters who selected that candidate as their number one choice automatically have their votes changed to their second choice, and another round of vote tabulation occurs.

Maryland Election Technology Not Certified, Requiring Immediate Decertification Of Machines.  Election integrity activist Chris Gleason has uncovered information which may show that technology used with Maryland's election machines was never certified, and therefore Maryland election machines must be immediately decertified.

Governor Hobbs Thumbs Nose at Election Integrity and American Manufacturing.  The integrity of our electoral process is vital to maintaining the foundations of democracy.  Reliable and secure voting machines play a crucial role in the faith, trust, and confidence of our elections.  Knowing and understanding this, the Arizona Legislature just passed H.B. 2613, which would have mandated voting machines used in state elections be made in America.  Furthermore, this legislation would have required all those voting machines to have 100% of their parts and components sourced and assembled in the U.S.  Unfortunately for the people of Arizona, Governor Hobbs vetoed the legislation.  In doing so, she turned her back on American manufacturing and election integrity.

Information Warfare in New York.  [Scroll down]  Although there is a question why the algorithms exist in the voter rolls, it is hard to find a legitimate explanation for their presence.  They perform no clear security function, largely because the voter rolls are public and none of the data is masked.  Likewise, the algorithms likely were not designed to optimize database performance.  This is because, if anything, they seriously retard database performance.  Every county official I've spoken with about this subject (they wish to remain anonymous) has stated they had no idea the algorithms existed.  None had seen any sign of their existence.  This raises an important point.  The algorithm relies on CID and SBOEID numbers.  County officials do not have direct access to SBOEID numbers.  They can access them on an as-needed basis.  Therefore, using the data that is normally available to them in their offices, it is literally impossible for any county official to discover the presence of the algorithms.

K.T. McFarland: FBI, DOJ, and CIA rigged the last 2 elections, and they will rig 2024.  Former deputy National Security Advisor K.T. McFarland, who worked for General Michael Flynn — unjustly forced from office, offers a chilling and highly realistic view of what we face: a coup by the deep state that they are planning to repeat in 2024 because they don't want their crimes prosecuted by a Republican president and AG.  Speaking with Maria Bartiromo on her Fox Business Network program, McFarland laid out the grim reality that, strangely, does not bother any of the people who rage about "protecting democracy" from Donald Trump.  Kanekoa The Great summarizes her views and presents a two-and-a-half minute clip of her.  I urge you to watch the whole thing, as there is a lot of richness that doesn't make it to this summary.  [Tweet with video clip]

'298,000 Ballots in 36 Hours?': Arizona Trial Exposes Suspicious Election Activity.  Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake just dropped a bombshell regarding election integrity in Arizona as the trial for her lawsuit against Maricopa County continues. [...] The Maricopa County trial commenced Wednesday, placing the spotlight on serious allegations concerning election procedures and the rapid processing of a substantial number of ballots.  Lake's claim takes center stage, accusing Maricopa County of failing to comply with state law by neglecting higher-level signature reviews for early ballots flagged by low-level signature verifiers.  Moreover, questions surrounding the astonishing speed of processing 298,000 ballots within a mere 36 hours have sparked additional concerns about the integrity of the electoral process.  Lake's specific allegation focuses on Maricopa County's failure to perform higher-level signature reviews for early ballots with inconsistent signatures.  According to the claim, instead of conducting the necessary scrutiny, all flagged ballots were counted without further examination.  This alleged non-compliance with state law and election procedures raises fundamental questions about the accuracy and fairness of the electoral process.

President Trump Responds on Pennsylvania's 2020 Election.  Here are just a few examples of how determinative the voter fraud in Pennsylvania was:
  •   71,893 mail-in ballots were returned after Nov. 3, 2020, at 8 p.m., according to Audit the Vote PA.  None of these should have been counted according to the U.S. Constitution and the state Legislature, which didn't approve this change.
  •   10,515 mail-in votes from people who do not exist on the Pennsylvania voter rolls at all.
  •   120,000 excess voters are not yet accounted for by the Pennsylvania Department of State — far more votes than voters!
  •   From 2016 to 2020, during my term as president, Republicans out-registered Democrats 21 to 1.  This translated to a 659,145-vote lead at 12:38 a.m. on election night, with "Trump" up a full 15 points.
  •   Hundreds of thousands of votes were unlawfully counted in secret, in defiance of a court order, while Republican poll watchers were thrown out of buildings where voting took place.
  •   39,771 people who registered to vote after the Oct. 19, 2020, deadline, still voted in the 2020 election — simply not allowed.

Oops!
Every Registered Voter In Republican-Leaning New York County Turned Democrat After 'Human Error'.  Republican and independent voters in Nassau County, New York, this week were shocked to find out that they had changed parties after all the voter information cards mailed out before an upcoming primary mistakenly identified every voter as a Democrat.  The mistake, which drew condemnation from local Republican leaders, was made by "human error," according to Phoenix Graphics, the company responsible for sending out the voting cards. [...] According to local outlets, there are over 500,000 non-Democrats in the county and the mistake will cost about $300,000.

Printer Error Turns Almost a Million Registered Voters in Nassau County, New York Democrat.  A printer error in Nassau County, New York turned every registered voter in the county Democrat.  The printer reportedly botched over 976,000 voter registration cards and labeled every voter in the county Democrat.  Republicans make up over 60% of registered voters in Nassau County which left many Conservatives in the county feeling absolutely blindsided by the error.  Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman told NBC 4 News "We're already starting to get phone calls from people, saying 'I'm a registered Republican, I'm a registered Conservative — how come I'm being identified as a Democrat?  Who changed my registration?'  And they're quite upset about it."

Expert Testifies During Second Day of Kari Lake's Election Contest That 3-Second Signature Verification Was Impossible.  The second of three days scheduled for Kari Lake's second election contest trial, which focused only on signature verification problems, wrapped up on Thursday, with Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson declining to grant the defendant's motion for a directed verdict.  Witness testimony focused on the speed that signature reviewers went over voters' signatures on mail-in ballots, with many reviewers taking less than two seconds to compare signatures to see if they matched.  Lake tweeted after the second day of the trial concluded, "John Hancock was one of our founding fathers.  He was a truly accomplished man.  But the thing we most remember him most for is signing his own name.  A lifetime of service summed up with a signature.  A signature means a lot to this country.  It means nothing to Maricopa County."

The Cataclysm to Come.  [Scroll down]  And it all culminates with the elections in November 2024.  Democrats can win only by cheating, and since they did it successfully in 2020, you can expect them to do it again.  While some election integrity measures have been increased in some states, almost nothing has been done anywhere to require open-source computer programming code of voting machines so we can be assured they are counting votes correctly.  Moreover, nothing has been done to prevent voting machines from being hacked to alter election outcomes.  At this point, the left has become brazenly indifferent as to whether anyone even knows of its cheating.  Court challenges almost always go the leftists' way.  Regardless of who is declared the winner, there will be unrest.  There could be a breakdown in civil order nationwide.  If the left loses, leftists will riot and loot in a replay of the 2020 BLM riots.  If the right loses, this will be a turning point, as we can't go on being lied to and threatened by the left.  Another stolen election will break our country.

We've won the culture war, but that's not enough.  True Americans are fed up with being reviled and forced to accept the vilest things as normal.  But as Joe Biden said, "We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics."  And no Republican Party organization I am aware of is actually tackling the fraud that the Dems have put in place in Elections and Post offices.  Even Donald Trump, with his focus on personal loyalty, has no interest in hiring people who will actually get the job done.  Jay Valentine has extensively documented the fact that Democrat election fraud has many tentacles, all of which can be chopped off easily by local officials if they are willing to look.  We all know about dead people who vote, and there are some, but not enough, of these votes to swing many elections.  Changed zip codes that allow mail-in ballots to be gathered by a cooperating postal worker for Democrat workers to vote are another tentacle.  Multiple elderly people registered at college frat houses, and empty lots with multiple voters are others.  The list is long and distinguished.  And it points out a simple fact.  We have already won the hearts and minds of most Americans.  The truly radical Left that runs the Democrat Party is a small minority of the population.  As long as candidates "paint in bright colors," the Dems won't have a chance to win the vote.  But they can still put more ballots in the box.

The Fingerprints of Fraud.  The General election of 2020 was perhaps the most contentious election in our country's history.  It was certainly the most contested and displayed the most concerning irregularities.  Since the election, many researchers, election experts, and concerned citizens have performed an unprecedented evaluation of the election procedures and data.  Many have found hard evidence of manipulation and fraud at the state, county, and local levels.  To date, the judicial systems of those locales have been unwilling or unable to give a fair hearing to the findings, leaving our country in a divided condition where a majority of the population no longer trusts the election system.

Rensselaer County Officials Indicted for Civil Rights Conspiracy.  Richard W. Crist, age 55, of Nassau, New York; James R. Gordon, age 42, of North Greenbush, New York; and Leslie A. Wallace, age 35, of Troy, New York, were arrested and arraigned today on an indictment charging them with conspiring to violate the rights of Rensselaer County voters in connection with elections held in 2021.  United States Attorney Carla B. Freedman and Janeen DiGuiseppi, Special Agent in Charge of the Albany Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), made the announcement.  Crist is the Director of Operations for Rensselaer County, Gordon is the Director of the Bureau for Central Services of Rensselaer County, and Wallace works for the Rensselaer County Executive's Office.  The indictment alleges that during local elections held in 2021, Crist, Gordon and Wallace conspired to use their official positions, and actual and apparent authority over Rensselaer County employees, to obtain absentee ballots in voters' names through fraud and intimidation; these voters did not intend to request absentee ballots, nor did they seek voting assistance from Crist, Gordon or Wallace.

Biden DOJ Asks Supreme Court to Dismiss Major GOP Election Lawsuit.  The Biden administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court to dismiss a high-profile case in which Republicans want the court to recognize state legislatures' power to regulate federal elections without interference from state courts, which they say the U.S. Constitution requires.  At issue is the once-obscure independent state legislature doctrine, under which Republicans argue that the Constitution has always directly authorized state legislatures alone to make rules for the conduct of federal elections in their respective states.  Democrats say the doctrine is a fringe conservative legal theory that could endanger voting rights, green-light partisan gerrymandering in the redistricting process, and cause upheaval in the electoral process.  The doctrine is at the heart of a case, Moore v. Harper, that's currently being deliberated by the justices after it was argued in December 2022.

The Editor says...
The case has already been argued, and is now in deliberation.  By demading a particular outcome, the White House is interfering with the operation of the Supreme Court.

2024: The End of Elections — or of Election Fraud?  Try this: Trump's popularity and national fatigue with leftist outcomes — transgender beer, rampant crime, invasion of illegals — and America has enough and gives Trump more votes than the other guy in 2024 — obvious to all.  Then, the election is stolen!  The Trump campaign focuses on not getting screwed with ballot-harvesting — blind to the dozen other forms of fraud coming their way. [...] Election fraud infrastructure is layered and multifaceted — it's not simply about mail-in ballots.  Voter registration time-series data shows the active intercession of governmental election commissions altering data, illegally changing voter rolls, giving non-government, leftist actors illegal access to voter rolls during elections — thus rigging elections.

Trump Takes a Hammer to the Carefully Maintained Delusions Inside the Left-Wing Bubble.  But it is left-wing commentary around the 2020 election that is most fascinating.  Pundits like Anderson Cooper speak about it as if only kooks at the local Elks Lodge would be raving about a rigged election, but because Cooper and Co. live in a left-wing bubble, they don't understand that skepticism around the election is far more pervasive than that.  First of all, you don't have to believe that voting machines were hacked, or that millions of fraudulent ballots were collected and counted, to understand intuitively that the election was rigged.  The very best explanation as to how that happened was delivered by a pro-Biden conspirator at TIME, Molly Ball, who speaks of how a "shadow campaign saved the 2020 election":  ["][T]he participants want the secret history of the of the 2020 election told, even though it sounds like a 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.["]  I'm not sure that her confession was necessary, but the American people believe her.  According to a poll observed in late 2020, 40% of Americans believe the election was "rigged or stolen."  Of note, only 36% disagree would say that it wasn't "rigged or stolen."  The remainder said that they "neither agreed nor disagreed" or "didn't know."  That's hardly a consensus against the "rigged election" theory.  And when you look deeper, it gets more telling.  Of that 36% who disagree that the election was "rigged or stolen," one-in-three find it "understandable" that others would think it was.  What this means is that only one-in-four Americans agrees that the 2020 election was absolutely honest and fair.

Pressed by Judicial Watch, Pennsylvania Cleans Up Its Voter Rolls.  Judicial Watch settled its election integrity lawsuit against Pennsylvania after the commonwealth acknowledged it removed more than 178,000 ineligible registrations on its voter rolls, the watchdog group announced Thursday [5/11/2023].  The settlement commits the commonwealth and five of its counties to publicly reporting the number of registered and eligible voters, both active and inactive, for the next five years.  "[Pennsylvania] also agreed to publish the total number of address confirmation notices sent to registered voters and the number returned as undeliverable or not responded to," according to Judicial Watch, and "the total number of voters removed from the registration rolls on account of death, or for failing to respond to an address confirmation notice and failing to vote in the two most recent federal general elections."  Additionally, Pennsylvania must cover $15,000 in Judicial Watch's legal costs and fees.

IRS, Inmates, Obamacare Eyed in Biden's Get-Out-the-Vote Plan, Liberals Boast in Report.  President Joe Biden's Executive Order 14019, which requires federal agencies to get involved in boosting voter participation, is a little over 2 years old.  However, members of Congress, the press, and watchdog groups unsuccessfully have sought information on how Biden's order is being implemented.  The Justice Department has claimed presidential privilege to shield related documents from release.  Yet, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights spearheaded a "progress report" on implementation of Biden's get-out-the-vote order.  It was joined by more than 50 other liberal organizations, including the SPLC Action Fund (affiliated with the controversial Southern Poverty Law Center), the American Civil Liberties Union, Demos, Public Citizen, and the Sierra Club.  "The executive order is unconstitutional.  States are supposed to be in charge of election laws," Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., told The Daily Signal in a phone interview Monday. "The administration has not been telling the American people what they are doing."

Conservatives, Get Busy Ballot Harvesting Or Get Busy Losing.  Joe Biden has announced he will seek reelection as president.  This comes as he is experiencing the lowest approval ratings of his presidency — 37 percent, according to Gallup.  Former President Donald Trump or Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis will almost certainly be the GOP nominee.  The blunt reality, however, is that regardless of who the GOP puts up against Biden, they will lose if the party isn't prepared to get down in the mud and beat the Democratic National Committee (DNC) at their own dirty game:  ballot harvesting. [...] While voter fraud exists, the reality is that there was no massive election fraud, the DNC simply worked harder, played dirtier, bent every rule, and didn't care about how they looked as long as they won.  It is a mentality that the Republican National Committee (RNC) will have to adopt.  In politics, it is better to be a dirty winner than a gracious loser.  So what will winning require in 2024?  The first step is to get meaningful voting integrity legislation passed in time.

Kari Lake Lawsuit: Attorney Kurt Olsen Makes Claim of "Extraordinary Findings of Misconduct" By Maricopa County.  Kari Lake and her attorneys appeared in a Maricopa County Superior Court status conference earlier today outlining the schedule for the remanded fraudulent signature verification claim.  Judge Peter Thompson previously dismissed the lawsuit on Christmas Eve, despite the evidence of massive voter disenfranchisement targeting Republicans and obviously false trial testimony by County Elections officials.  As The Gateway Pundit reported, The Arizona Supreme Court ruled in Lake's favor and remanded the "erroneous[ly]" dismissed signature verification fraud count back to the trial court for further review; however, Maricopa County still refuses to allow her legal team or We The People AZ Alliance to review ballot affidavit signatures from the 2022 Election.

How Corrupt Is Our Current Situation?  It's Worse Than Most Can Fathom.  Everything that preceded the 2020 federal election was a complex system of control by a network of ideologues, federal agencies, allies in the private sector, financial stakeholders and corrupt interests all working toward a common goal.  There's no need to go through the background of how the election was manipulated and how the government and private sector, specifically social media, worked to influence the 2020 outcome because you have all seen it.  Whether it was local election officials working to control outcomes, federal agencies working to support them (CISA, FBI, DHS), financial interests working to fund them (Zuckerberg et al), or social media platforms controlling the visible content and discussion (Twitter Files, Google, Facebook etc.), the objective was all the same.  It was a massive one-sided operation against the freewill of the American voter.  In the aftermath of the 2020 election, those same system operators, govt officials, corporate media, private sector groups and social media platforms then circled the wagons to scatter the evidence of their conduct.  If you questioned anything you were a threat.

Patrick Byrne [Publishes an] Article About Smartmatic.  Overstock founder Patrick Byrne has been fighting to expose massive, widespread voter fraud since the stolen 2020 election.  His latest efforts point to an article from Venezuela of all places that highlights the corruption within Smartmatic, a company that has been at the heart of election scandals... at least it would be if our corporate media did its job.

Arizona Supreme Court Reverses Their Own Major Decision.  Arizona's Supreme Court delivered a slap on the wrist to Republican Kari Lake's attorney on Thursday while demanding one of Lake's core concerns finally get attention.  The good news-bad news ruling came as part of Lake's effort to show that misconduct impacted the 2022 election for the governor of Arizona to the point where the victory of Democrat Katie Hobbs over Lake should be thrown out.  Although Lake has lost most of her court appeals, in March, Arizona's Supreme Court directed a lower court to hold a hearing into Lake's allegation that Maricopa County did not follow its signature verification process in the 2022 election.  That has not yet happened, but it will now.

Savor Trump's Electoral Landslide — Until the Phantoms Vote.  RINOs, psyops, controlled opposition like Breitbart and Fox and the grifter consultant class are selling the narrative that Trump wins the nomination bigly — then takes the Electoral College.  Joe Biden is on wobbly knees, at the edge of the actuarial life chart, leaving America with the most ridiculous replacement president.  His own party doesn't want him to run — but the party owners are stuck with him.  That too favors Trump.  Blissfully count the new Senate majority, the expanding House majority, and the keys to a White House that will finally drain the swamp.  Then, have a coffee, sit down and remember 2022.  That felt great too — until the day after the election.  To become president, Trump must win a bunch of swing states.  To win each state he needs more ballots in his pile than the other guy.  It's baked into the data — which we look at every day — that Trump is not going to win those swing states.  None of them.  It's not his fault.  He will probably get more votes, just not more ballots.

Elon Musk Responds To Jarring Ballot Irregularities In Maricopa County.  Maricopa County's ballot irregularities have been making headlines, and now Elon Musk has added his voice to the conversation.  On Twitter, Musk commented on the strange events surrounding Maricopa County's ballot counting and pointed to the county's inability to provide a chain of custody for a number of ballots, which was twice Kari Lake's opponent's margin of victory.  "Strange", he simply said in response to a few jarring irregularities.

A Guide to Understanding the Hoax of the Century.  In February 2021, a long article in Time magazine by journalist Molly Ball celebrated the "Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election." Biden's victory, wrote Ball, was the result of a "conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes" that drew together "a vast, cross-partisan campaign to protect the election" in an "extraordinary shadow effort."  Among the many accomplishments of the heroic conspirators, Ball notes, they "successfully pressured social media companies to take a harder line against disinformation and used data-driven strategies to fight viral smears."  It is an incredible article, like an entry from the crime blotter that somehow got slipped into the society pages, a paean to the saviors of democracy that describes in detail how they dismembered it.  Not so long ago, talk of a "deep state" was enough to mark a person as a dangerous conspiracy theorist to be summarily flagged for monitoring and censorship.  But language and attitudes evolve, and today the term has been cheekily reappropriated by supporters of the deep state.

This Red-State Election Reform Is A Big Mistake.  America's descent to hyper-partisanship has led to blindness, especially about our elections.  The Left has become the nothing-to-see-here crowd, where every election is rainbows and butterflies.  They tell us that elections are free from any blemish, any ineligible voters, and any flaws at all.  But the Left's willful blindness is sometimes met with fanciful fears.  Consider the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC). [...] After a campaign against ERIC, accusing it of partisanship and refusal to agree to reforms, seven Republican-controlled states left — Alabama, Florida, Iowa, Louisiana, Missouri, Ohio, and West Virginia.  Now, the Texas legislature is considering a bill to withdrawal from ERIC.  No state should leave ERIC until a replacement exists to deal with people registered in multiple states, and that includes Texas.

Democrats Are The Nigerian Princes Of American Politics.  Finally, in 2020 when Americans went to bed with Donald Trump ahead in the polls in states like Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, only to wake up the next morning to find that Democrat-run cities had stopped counting the votes for hours and, then, when they restarted, Biden was magically ahead.  Again, with straight faces, they tell us a guy who couldn't fill a phone booth for his rallies beat a guy whose supporters overflowed football stadiums across the country, and the guys we see on video walking around with flags inside the Capitol on Jan 6th represent the biggest attack on America since 9/11.  The Nigerian Price scammers are pikers when compared to the Democrats.  All they want is to empty someone's bank account.  Democrats want total control over everyone's lives.

Irrefutable Evidence That the 2020 Election Was Stolen.  On The National Security Hour on the America Out Loud Talk Radio Network, Dr. Mike Scheuer and Colonel Mike were delighted to have U.S. Air Force Lt.  General Thomas McInerney (Ret.) and auditor/author Joe Freid for a discussion of the manner in which Democratic scoundrels and their lackeys cheated Biden into the presidency in 2020.  Though this is a much-discussed subject, the combination of Mr. [Joe] Freid and General [Thomas] McInerney offers a fresh look at the way human and cyber cheating worked to create the absolutely false impression that Biden won more votes than any other U.S. presidential candidate.  To accept that as truth, of course, you would have to believe that 81 million Americans were ready to vote for a barely animate person whose only accomplishments in life — as was clear then and as is clear now — are successful criminality and deliberate treason.  Mr. Freid's most recent book on the 2020 election, called Debunked, An Auditor Reviews the 2020 Election — and the lessons learned, and especially his discussions therein of the obvious cheating in the swing states, the refusal of the country, state, and federal governments to act on the overwhelming evidence of Democratic cheating, and the assistance the Democrats received from government agencies at all levels and in both Republican and Democratic states is breathtaking.

Michigan Democrat Sentenced For Sabotaging 2020 Election Ballot Box.  Yes, the Mockingbird media continues to claim that there is zero evidence of election fraud during the 2020 election.  Yet, here is just another case in which a Michigan Democrat, who was running for town clerk, sabotaged a ballot box in order to win the primary for her town clerk position.  Kathy Funk, 59, was sentenced Monday to six months house arrest by Michigan 7th Circuit Court Judge Mark Latchana.

Michigan Dem Sentenced To House Arrest For Sabotaging Ballot Box In 2020 Election.  A local official in Flint, Michigan, was sentenced to six months of house arrest Monday for misconduct in office after sabotaging a ballot box in her own election in 2020.  Kathy Funk, a Democrat and former Flint Township Clerk, was accused of breaking a seal on a ballot box to ensure that the votes couldn't be recounted.  Funk must wear an ankle monitor and write a public apology for her actions during the election, the Associated Press reported. [...] After votes were cast in the 2020 primary election for her seat as township clerk, Funk sabotaged the ballot box, making the ballots ineligible for a recount, according to investigators.  There was no recount, even though the township clerk won her primary election by just 79 votes.  She went on to win the general election later that fall.  Funk told police that someone broke into the township hall where the ballots were kept and broke the seal on the ballot box.  At her sentencing, the judge admonished her for her break-in theory, the AP reported.

Florida Scores Huge Win for Free and Fair Elections Over Marc Elias and an Obama Judge.  On Thursday, a panel of the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals handed Florida Governor Ron DeSantis a huge victory over Marc Elias, judicial overreach, and industrial strength stupidity.  By a 2-1 decision, with an Obama judge dissenting, the panel upheld nearly all of Florida's overhaul of voting rules in May 2021.  I would call it controversial, but it was only controversial to people whose lives depend upon supporting vote fraud. [...] Because all of this is common sense, it must be racist.  And almost immediately upon Governor DeSantis signing the bill into law, Marc Elias's Democracy Docket sued using the Democrat AstroTurf group, League of Women Voters (this is the kind of thing that can convince a feminist that the 19th Amendment was a bad idea) as a plaintiff.  The suit landed before Chief U.S. District Judge Mark Walker of the Northern District of Florida, who was appointed by Barack Obama.  So despite Chief Justice John Roberts getting the heebie-jeebies whenever someone comments on who appointed a judge to the bench, that does make a difference.

Pinellas County Elections Officials Refuse To Provide Data Required By Law Which Could Prove Machine Election Fraud.  The Miami Independent has reported for months now on alleged election fraud taking place in the so-called 'free state of Florida'.  Florida is anything but free.  We have highlighted the issue of 'blank ballots' allegedly being produced by election machines and their alleged ability and track record of forging votes unbeknown to the voter.  According to analyst Chris Gleason, this is being done by the machines designating a high percentage of ballots cast as 'blank', and then adjudicating them with software.  We have highlighted the attempt by the GOP-controlled Florida legislature to cover up this alleged fraud by changing legislation (SB 7050) to prevent disclosure of the machine data, which is currently required by Florida law.  Now Pinellas County election officials are refusing to provide election data that is required by law to be released to citizen analysts.  Analyst Chris Gleason has filed court documents to force the release of the reports that could prove machine election fraud on a massive scale.

Virginia Elections Department Discovers Nearly 20,000 Deceased Registered Voters.  The state released a notice last week concerning a Virginia Department of Elections (ELECT) update.  Integral to an improvement initiative, the department is making multiple changes to its "current operations, spurred by both feedback from the field as well as internal evaluations of existing processes."  As part of the upgrade, ELECT has "streamlined the reporting of voters who are known to be deceased."  Going forward, family members will be able to report the death of a relative directly to their general registrar.  And a national database will allow registrars to verify deaths out of state.  Previously, "general registrars experienced difficulties confirming the death of Virginia voters who died in out-of-state hospitals or facilities."  The change seems especially important, given a major Department of Elections confession.  Apparently, administrators haven't been sticklers for accuracy.

Judge Rejects Arizona AG's Attempt to Revoke Elections Agreement With County Recorder.  An Arizona judge has rejected state Attorney General Kris Mayes's attempt to terminate an agreement between Cochise County and the county recorder in a Thursday ruling.  The agreement, which was drafted in February 2023, permits the Cochise County's recorder to be granted control over "almost all of the powers and duties of the election conferred by statute upon the Cochise County Board of Supervisors," the document states.  After the initial agreement was written, Mayes filed a lawsuit in March on behalf of Arizona against the three Cochise County supervisors and the county recorder, citing that the agreement violates the Arizona Constitution and Arizona law, according to the documents filed.

Fried: Here Is the Rot in the Fox-Dominion Settlement.  When Jeff Zucker ran CNN, he famously had company-wide conferences every weekday morning at 9 a.m., and he would instruct his TV personalities regarding the appropriate messaging for the day.  Some employees lamented the straitjacket.  For example, CNN media coordinator Nick Neville candidly expressed hope that CNN "could let the news people decide the news and have the executives stay out of it."  Fox News does not use the CNN approach.  For example, the views of Tucker Carlson on the Ukraine war are diametrically opposite the views of Sean Hannity, and it is also clear that people at Fox had differing views about the 2020 election. [...] This morning I saw a few minutes of MSNBC (my limit) and heard Joe Scarborough wonder if Carlson will now have to stop questioning issues related to the Jan. 6 "insurrection."  That is wishful and rather obtuse thinking.  The Dominion-Fox case was very narrowly focused on the claims of Powell and one particular voting machine vendor.  The issues of election fraud and the Jan. 6 riots are immensely larger.  Unfortunately, people like Scarborough may try to use the Fox settlement as an argument for the increased censorship of anyone who questions the validity of any aspect of the 2020 election or its aftermath.  That could affect people like me because, when I appear on a radio show or podcast, I itemize numerous irrefutable facts that call into question the validity of the 2020 election.  I plan to continue.

After Englebrecht and Phillips Publish Proof of Election Data Compromise, Konnech Corp Drops Lawsuit Against True the Vote.  Last year, True the Vote founder Catherine Englebrecht and election data security analyst, Gregg Phillips, were held in contempt of court and placed in jail for failing to outline the participant sources in a 2020 hotel discussion that revealed a Konnech Corporation election data compromise that was transmitted to Chinese networks.  Eventually a higher court dismissed the contempt charge and forced the release of Englebrecht and Phillips, but the lawsuit brought by Konnech against them continued.  On Monday Englebrecht and Phillips dumped the Konnech election data into open public source format showing the scale of the election security compromise.  On Tuesday, Konnech dropped the lawsuit against Englebrecht, True The Vote and Phillips.

Gov. Youngkin's Election Officials to Remove 19K Dead People from Virginia Voter Rolls.  Election officials, appointed by Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R), are set to remove nearly 19,000 dead voter registrants from Virginia's voter rolls.  This week, Virginia Department of Elections Commissioner Susan Beals, appointed by Youngkin last year, announced that close to 19,000 dead registrants were recently discovered on the state's voter rolls.  The dead registrants were found after officials reviewed death records from the Virginia Department of Health dating back to 1960 that were not previously shared.

Fox News Settles Dominion Voting Systems Defamation Lawsuit for $787 Million.  The trial of Dominion Voting Systems defamation lawsuit against Fox News was to start today.  When the opening statements were delayed by several hours, I suspected there was a last minute settlement.  And there was.

Arizona House Expels Republican Legislator Liz Harris After She Presented Witness Who Alleged Crimes by Officials.  The Arizona House voted 46-13 to expel State Rep. Liz Harris (R-Chandler) on Wednesday after conducting an investigation into her bringing a witness to testify to the Senate Elections Committee, who accused legislators and other public officials of committing crimes.  Jacqueline Breger told the committee that Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs, State House Speaker Ben Toma (R-Peoria) and others executed fraudulent deeds as part of a bribery scheme involving the Sinaloa drug cartel, along with other accusations.  Various legislators say that Harris was not truthful when she said she did not know what Breger was going to say.  But Harris told The Arizona Sun Times it wasn't that she didn't know about the criminal accusations — she had instructed Breger only to address election integrity.

Can We Do Anything About America's Decline?  America's former strength — the most transparent, accurate, and trustworthy elections in the world — have descended into its greatest liability.  In the space of a mere eight years, and especially in reaction to radical political changes made under the cover of the COVID lockdown, we have gone from 70 percent of the electorate in most states voting on election day to a mere 30 percent.  Yet the ballot rejection rate somehow diminished, with the flood of non-Election-Day ballots that overwhelmed accustomed audit and verification.  Election night is a mere construct.  It is mostly meaningless.  Local, state, and federal election results are stalled and descend into days, weeks, and sometimes even months of bickering, counter charges of ballot tampering and fraud, ballot harvesting and curing, and a loss of confidence in the integrity of the final result.

2020 election: The evidence of fraud is abundant!  Why aren't people talking about the 2020 election anymore?  Is it old news?  Millions of us believe it was rigged — which raises the question: Why vote again if the system is rigged?  On Nov. 3, 2020, our votes for president were counted.  Our choices were 1) pro-abortion (senile) Joe Biden who drew no crowds to his rallies and stayed in his basement, and 2) pro-life (energetic) incumbent Donald Trump who drew huge crowds to his rallies and who in only four years had boosted our economy, lowered unemployment, strengthened our military and protected our borders.  The choice was a no brainer.  We watched the count reported on TV.  Trump won.  In the middle of the night, however, everything mysteriously changed.

School board throws out duly elected member, claiming election as an error.  A lawsuit has erupted in Wisconsin after Eric Meadows was elected to a three-year term on the Kenosha Unified School District board, and then after the election he was told it was for a one-year term only.  The Thomas More Society said the controversy developed when a Wisconsin Elections Commission worker said there was a clerical error in the vote.  Now the society has filed a petition in Kenosha County's Wisconsin Circuit Court that details how the public school district insisted Meadows vacate his seat after only a year in office, despite being elected to a three-year term.  Orders from the district came on Feb. 1, 2023, that Meadows vacate his seat.

Envelopes.  Nothing, not one single thing about candidates, debates, endorsements, media support, branding, imaging, leadership, effectiveness, policy, polling, communications, digital outreach, social media platforms, rallies or love of country matters in the 2024 election.  None of it matters.  The outcome of the 2024 presidential contest will be determined by only one thing:  ENVELOPES!  That's it.  That's the sum total of what matters.  Envelopes containing ballots. [...] Debates don't matter.  Did you forget Arizona 2022?  Katie Hobbs giggled when asked about why no debates.  Candidates don't matter.  Did you forget Pennsylvania 2022?  When grunge clad, hoodie-wearing, John Fetterman promoted pancake syrup as the best solution to the Medicare crisis (or something equally as [...] crazy from his compromised mental state).  Rally size doesn't matter.  Did you forget the Biden campaign audiences that could fit into one mid-sized SUV?  Qualifications do not matter.  Intelligence, policy, legislative accomplishments, executive experience, success or lack thereof in any life endeavor, NONE of this matters.  All of these former aspects of the political industry are gone, they have absolutely no bearing on the outcome of federal elections.  The only reason these insufferable discussions still exist is to maintain the illusion of a political business that generates money.

Two More Reasons Why The GOP Has No Chance In 2024.  The GOP has done virtually nothing to prevent the 2024 election from being rigged in the same manner the 2020 election was rigged.  What's the plan to prevent regime-media/Big-Tech censorship?  What's the plan to combat "Zuckerbucks" and copycat Zuckerbuckers?  What's the plan to compete in vital swing-states where election-day has been replaced with a month(s)-long ballot-harvesting contest?

Biden is the most amoral President in US history.  Biden is a dim bulb and the people who engineered his installation as president surely knew that.  Whoever his handlers are, they committed many serious crimes, many breaches of the Constitution, to rig the election, secure in the knowledge that "they," whoever they are, would be running the show.  They surely knew that Biden is a schlump, an empty suit, a man without a moral core; a man they could manipulate and manipulate him they certainly have.  There is more than enough proof that Biden is indebted to China; his family has been fabulously enriched by the CCP's purchase of his servility. [...] Biden will go down in history as the most corrupt, the most nationally and globally disastrous and the dumbest President in American history.

Why 2020 still matters and what to do about it now.  Imagine what things might have been like had the 2020 election been honest. [...] All it took was a manufactured virus that could be used to spread fear and justify suspension of nearly every Constitutional right for almost two years.  Most importantly, it would justify use of near universal voting by mail.  As I wrote in a prior article, a thirty-year-old law had prepared the ground for massive election fraud by enabling the accumulation of invalid voter roll entries — ghost voters — throughout the nation.  Voting by mail allowed these ghost voters to be mobilized to vote for the candidates of the Left.  Because the chain of custody was destroyed by the vote by mail process, millions of votes could be generated, inserted into the election system and counted just like legitimate votes with virtually no risk of discovery.

Idaho Takes An Axe To Ranked-Choice Voting In Elections, And North Dakota And Arizona Could Follow Suit.  Idaho scored a major win for election integrity last month by banning the use of ranked-choice voting (RCV) in elections, with North Dakota and Arizona potentially following suit.  On March 24, Idaho Gov. Brad Little signed HB 179, which prohibits county election offices from using "ranked choice voting or instant runoff voting to conduct an election or nomination of any candidate in this state for any local government, statewide, or federal elective office."  The bill passed the Idaho House of Representatives (56-12) and Senate (28-7) earlier last month.  Under RCV, which critics often refer to as "rigged-choice voting," voters rank candidates in order of preference.  If no candidate receives a majority of first-choice votes in the first round of voting, the last-place finisher is eliminated, and his votes are reallocated to the voter's second-choice candidate.  Such a process continues until one candidate receives a majority of votes.  In addition to Idaho, South Dakota banned the use of ranked-choice voting last month.  Florida and Tennessee also passed similar bans last year.

Is 2024 Only A Mirage?  Will the Democrats again attempt to rig the elections as Biden did in 2020?  Some may say, "We won't let them do that again this time around."  But that assumes they will even care whether you witness their cheating in 2024, which, in turn, denies the truth that, at this point, they have become completely indifferent as to whether anyone even knows of their cheating any more.  This was clearly demonstrated in 2022 with the otherwise inexplicable upset of Kari Lake in Arizona and the equally inexplicable victory of John Fetterman in Pennsylvania.

Kari Lake claims 2024 candidates who do not believe her election was stolen is 'a big red flag'.  Former GOP Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake has argued it is a "big red flag" if any 2024 Republican presidential candidate does not believe her 2022 contest was stolen from her.  "I ask you that every candidate who comes through — when they stand on this stage, when they're shaking your hand, when they're walking through town, taking your questions — that you ask them where they stand on election integrity," Lake said at a GOP event in Nevada, Iowa on Thursday, according to the Hill.  "And I think you should get even more specific, 'Was the 2022 election for governor in Arizona stolen?'  And if they won't say 'Absolutely, yes,' that's a big red flag.  That's a big red flag.  Ask all of them."

Donald Trump, Tiberius Gracchus, And America's Imminent End.  [Scroll down]  America has become a tyranny where the people in power no longer feel the need to seek validation from the citizens.  They decide on the outcome and manipulate the numbers to produce the result without even a fig leaf hiding their disdain for citizens.  Whether it was Bernie Sanders in 2016, Donald Trump in 2020, or Kari Lake in 2022, the Democrat party and its entrenched government comrades have decided they no longer need to subject themselves to the will of the citizenry and, if anyone objects, they use the judiciary to crush that person.

Wisconsin Supreme Court Race Marred by Yet Another Voting Machine Malfunction.  Another contentious election, another voting machine controversy.  As reported by local Fox affiliate WLUK, a voting machine in Green Bay broke down and needed to be replaced during Tuesday's election.  "City clerk Celestine Jeffreys said the machine at the Green Bay Botanical Garden wasn't working," WLUK reported.  "Backup machines also did not work."  The city had to borrow a voting machine from Brown County.  "Those machines had been serviced, so we have to take a much more close look after this election as to whether or not we need to purchase new machines and exactly how we can ensure that that doesn't happen again," Jeffreys said.  "It's the same problem we've been having at that ward for a couple of different election cycles."

The Editor says...
Oops!  The voting machines malfunctioned, and the leftist won the election.  Where have I heard that before?

Missouri County Goes Completely Machine-Free with Paper Ballots Only — Massive Win for Election Integrity.  There is now one place in America that will no longer have to worry about faulty machines plaguing our elections.  Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow and one of America's foremost election integrity advocates, made a historic announcement on Frank TV yesterday that Osage County, Missouri became the first place in America to completely ditch machine voting and move exclusively to hand-counting election results.  Make no mistake:  this is a game-changer for election integrity.  Osage County is not alone.  Several counties across the US are moving to paper ballots.  Shasta County in California voted to go to paper ballots recently.  And Nye County in Nevada counts ballots by hand now.

Republicans Need a Tech Manhattan Project.  Republicans are burdened with obsolete infrastructure in both national voter integrity organizations and national party apparatus, that desperately fears change.  They are happier losing than changing. [...] Republicans have no shortage of national voter integrity organizations.  The Fractal team had calls with over a dozen.  In every case, they were completely cool with current technology — ancient SQL-based databases — to fight voter fraud even though it failed in the last two major elections.  They are about donors and Zoom calls — not winning elections.  We showed them tech innovation and they did not want to see it! [...] In the Kari Lake election, you see the elected voter commission changed people's zip codes when ballots were mailed out.  Voters didn't get them — but someone did!  In Nevada, 4,000 or more people are allowed to register at vacant lots!  There were 1,000, then over the 90-day time series (invisible to all current tech from current voter integrity orgs), the number grew to 4,000 as the 2022 election approached.

Exposed: RICO Election Crimes in Washington State.  If you think that the Organized Racketeering (RICO) Elections Crimes being exposed around the country (Arizona, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Nebraska, Wisconsin, and other states etc.) are not happening in Washington State, then you are sadly mistaken.  We are on to them, and are finding many ways the criminals are illegally manipulating (stealing) our elections.  As just one example, to see how large scale and serious the election fraud is in our state, go to the Federal Election Commission Website [elsewhere], on the left side of the page type in ANY Zip code in the provided field, and Not Employed in the Employer filter.  You will then see a screen of the names of the Contributors, notice the vast majority of their donations (.01 to $20) end up going to ActBlue (Dem Operatives).  The problem being, the record reflects that many of the individual donors are EACH donating, in many cases, hundreds or THOUSANDS of times between 01/01/2021 and 12/31/2022.

How Was ERIC Used to Steal Elections?  Keeping America's voter rolls "up to date" seems a worthy mission for a non-profit.  That's why 30 states signed up (at one point) to use this supposedly "non-partisan" system.  It turns out that ERIC was not really a "non-partisan" system of course — since it was used by Democrats to cheat in our recent elections.  How was ERIC used maliciously in recent elections exactly?  In a bombshell report, Hayden Ludwig has uncovered records full of coordination between state election officials using ERIC and Mark Zuckerberg's Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR) going back to 2020.  Emails showed election officials in Georgia and Rhode Island sharing voter information from ERIC with Zuckerberg's Democrat activists.  Georgia elections officials actually sent ERIC data to CEIR to generate a list of eligible-but-unregistered individuals (to target with registration mailers) that was sent back to ERIC and then sent along to Georgia!  In other words, ERIC was a Democrat activist group pretending to be a non-partisan voting rights organization.

AZ Senate Elections Committee Chair Senator Wendy Rogers Fires Off Public Records Request to Inspect Maricopa County 2022 Ballot Signatures.  Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers demanded an opportunity to inspect "the affidavit envelopes and signature exemplars from Maricopa County records used in the 2022 election" from the Maricopa County Recorder earlier today [4/3/2023].  Senator Rogers, Chairwoman of the Arizona Senate Elections Committee, fired off the following tweet with a photocopy of her new public records request.  [Tweet]  Maricopa County refuses to provide Kari Lake's legal team with the allegedly fraudulent ballot signatures.  This is despite a recent ruling from the Arizona Supreme Court ordering the trial court to reconsider the issue of signature verification fraud.  Senator Rogers' public records request for "legislative purposes" comes after Maricopa County denied a similar request from Kari Lake's legal team.

Stolen Election Confirmed Again.  Audio recordings from a 1977 interview detailing how the late President Lyndon Johnson stole the 1948 Senate contest in Texas were posted this week on the archival website of the LBJ Presidential Library and Museum on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin. [...] When the polls closed in the hotly contested race between Johnson and Texas Governor Coke Stevenson in 1948, it appeared that Johnson's political career was essentially over.  He had lost a previous race for the Senate in 1941, and this second loss probably meant that Johnson would be a mere footnote to history.  In the days following the election, however, it was announced that some uncounted votes had been found in a ballot box, known as Box 13, which, amazingly enough, were all for Johnson, except for two votes, enough to swing the election from Stevenson to Johnson by a margin of only 87 votes — out of over one million cast.  Mark Lawrence, the director of the LBJ Library, said that later research conducted by Robert Caro, who wrote a multi-volume biography of Johnson, including The Path to Power, "essentially reaffirmed" Mangan's 1977 story and built on it.

LBJ's stolen election.  The Associated Press has an interesting walk down memory lane this week discovered in a set of tapes that were donated to the Lyndon B. Johnson Presidential Library and Museum last summer.  On the tapes, a former South Texas election judge told a reporter that the 1948 Texas Senate primary election was stolen in favor of LBJ and he described exactly how it was done.  Democratic officials "found" some extra votes for Johnson in a box that became known as "box 13." [...] As I suggested at the top, the method of election fraud used in 1948 isn't much different than stories that we sometimes hear in the modern era.  We still have election officials "finding" boxes of ballots at the last moment.  Some of those may turn out to be completely legitimate votes while others seem far more suspicious.  Look no further than the boxes of ballots found in an election official's car putting Al Franken over the top in the 2008 election.  So when you see things like that happening, don't be cowed into silence by claims that it's all a conspiracy theory.  Demand transparency.

Forget 2,000 Mules; O'Keefe Points to 2,000 Donors.  Remember the documentary 2,000 Mules, where it was alleged that Democrats were illegally stuffing drop boxes by hiring agents to drop off ballots in the middle of the night?  Well, turns out that's not the only way Democrats have been manipulating elections.  James O'Keefe brings a new allegation of illegal campaign work.  This time via donations.

NY Citizens' Voter Audit Challenges Blue-State Hegemony.  When you first hear about the group New York Citizens Audit (NYCA), you wonder why it took so long for regular citizens to start scrutinizing their own voting rolls. [...] Whatever happens, it's clear that NYCA has started a movement of the people to ask questions and demand answers.  Their goal is an end-to-end audit of the voting process, from voter registration to certification of results.  [Marly] Hornik sees their work as a way forward, toward exposing the corruption of what she calls "blue state regimes."  She concluded:  ["]The Democrats have put their stake in the ground here. ... In the minds of the vast majority of Americans, New York is just crazy.  People in New York are nuts, and they vote for this.  But when you say "New York is gone forever.  California is gone forever.  Illinois and New Jersey are gone forever.  Looks like Arizona's on the fence.  Pennsylvania's gone forever"...you realize they'll never win again in the Electoral College.  So supporting this effort in New York State is actually a national issue for anyone that's interested in ever electing another conservative president.["]

Voter Suppression Is Real And It's Not What You Were Told.  Luzerne County was coal country and once a Democrat stronghold, before Donald Trump ran for president in 2016, when the county voted Republican.  The county's election administration in 2022 was, according to the lawsuit, a "catastrophic failure."  More than 40 precincts had an insufficient number of ballots, many running out early in the morning on Election Day.  The county implausibly blamed high voter interest, but Pennsylvania law requires counties to have enough ballots for every registered voter.  Election workers were sent scrambling to office supply stores for paper, and were left untrained for the disastrous day.  A court had to intervene to allow a few more hours of voting.  Judge Lesa Gelb wrote in her order, "Voters in Luzerne County through no fault of their own, were disenfranchised and denied the fundamental right to vote."  Left-wing groups pressured the county election board to certify the election results, even though the first vote to certify failed to pass.  The county election board bowed to the pressure.

Maricopa County Superior Court Rescinds Order Setting Dates for Kari Lake's Ballot Signature Fraud Challenge.  Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson issued a Minute Entry on Saturday, rescinding his previous order outlining the schedule for supplemental memorandums of law and oral argument.  As The Gateway Pundit reported, Thompson, last Thursday, issued a new order, setting the schedule for review of Kari Lake's signature verification challenge after the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that the trial court must reconsider this issue.

Was Massive Vote Fraud Confirmed with a Fishtail?  Sometimes fraud is so far beyond the pale, so egregious, that it is difficult to accept that it happened.  But evidence can be too blatant to explain away, especially when two totally different sources of information confirm the existence of the very same fraudulent activity.  Such a convergence of evidence occurred in the 2020 election.  An explosive allegation was made: In Pima County, thirty-five thousand (35,000) votes had been added to each Democrat candidate in the election, including Joe Biden.  The allegation was made anonymously by someone claiming that he or she met with Democrat Pima County election officials on September 10, 2020, where a plan to rig the vote was hatched. [...] What does it mean?  It appears extremely likely that those extra 35,000 votes were dumped into certain Pima county precincts, and/or votes were switched between the two presidential candidates.  Adding in the 35,000 phony ballots is what made the turnout rates so high and caused Biden to win the state.

Meet the Young Attorney Who May Have Saved Kari Lake's Election Challenge.  Ryan Heath is a 31-year-old new attorney in Arizona who started The Gavel Project, an "anti-woke nonprofit" that fights for "civil liberties on behalf of victims suffering from the abuses of woke ideologues."  He's filed and threatened lawsuits over masks, CRT, and mutilating children in the name of "affirmative care."  In January, unlike most "conservative" attorneys who run from cases involving voter disenfranchisement of Republicans, due to the risk of being disbarred by left-wing dominated state bars, Heath jumped right in and sued the judge who dismissed Kari Lake's election contest with a writ of mandamus.  He demanded that Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson vacate his ruling and award the election to Lake.  Heath relied on Reyes v.  Cuming, a 1997 Arizona case involving similar circumstances, where voters' signatures on the ballot envelopes were not compared to the voter registration list, which violated a non-technical statute so the court held it was material.  Strangely, the Reyes case was mysteriously suppressed from legal research, so it was almost impossible to find until Heath stumbled on it.

Dominion's Weak Case Against Fox.  The mainstream press has reacted predictably in recent weeks after Fox News's internal communications and witness depositions were disclosed in Dominion Voting Systems' defamation lawsuit against the network.  Blinded by resentment at Fox's success as an alternative media voice, many media organizations offered a distorted narrative — largely parroting Dominion's spin — that the disclosures doom Fox's legal defense.  Commentators from the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC and other outlets, gleeful at the prospect of a Fox setback, cheer on as the defamation case heads toward a trial date.  But the real significance of the disclosures is exactly the opposite of what these media outlets claim.  Two things are clear:  First, if the applicable law is faithfully applied, the facts completely upend Dominion's defamation claim against Fox.  [Paywall]

Jenna Ellis Settles Her Ethics Complaint, Saving Herself But Damaging Trump and Election Integrity.  The left is upping the lawfare against conservatives, even attempting to prosecute them, as they proceed to indict former President Donald Trump.  The 65 Project was specifically created to disbar conservative election attorneys.  Any election attorney who dares to get involved in litigation regarding the botched 2020 presidential election, or other elections like Arizona's 2022 midterm where Republican voters were disenfranchised, risks losing their license to practice law due to left-wing dominated state bars.  The 65 Project filed a legal ethics complaint against Trump's former attorney Jenna Ellis in her home state of Colorado a year ago, demanding discipline — including possible disbarment — for public statements she made defending Trump and his efforts to combat election fraud.

Election System Discovered — Used in Multiple States — Internet Connected, Uncertified, and Accessible to Numerous Govt Agencies.  A team of election experts in New Mexico uncovered an election system that is being used in that state and multiple other states that do not comply with election laws.  Election experts in New Mexico established that the post-election canvass reports in all 33 New Mexico Counties are being illegally prepared.  Complete election records are being uploaded to an uncertified, centralized software under the control of the Secretary of State (SOS) called SERVIS, which is then used to create the official election results.  Use of any uncertified software for this part of the election process is a violation of federal and state law.  And according to state law, the SOS is not to have access to the complete election record from any county until the election has been certified.

Kari Lake on the verge of conquering the hell that is election impropriety.  Over the years, Arizona has been in the hot seat for mismanaged and questionable election processes — there's probably not a more well-known county in America than "Maricopa."  Highly-suspicious problems on election day that disproportionately (or entirely?) affect Republican voters and candidates, especially when they occur consistently would indicate the potentiality of a scam; [...] Lake and her legal team alleged that under the direction of Democrat Adrian Fontes, the Maricopa County Recorder's office failed to follow the law during the signature verification process for mail-in ballots.  The overwhelming number of potentially problematic ballots has the possibility to alter the victor of the governor's race, and if these ballots are in fact fraudulent or invalid, the installation of Katie Hobbs could transcend plausible speculation and become proven fact in a court of law.

Arizona Supreme Court Greenlights Review Of Kari Lake Election Fraud Claim.  The Arizona Supreme Court ruled Wednesday a lower court must review one of gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake's election challenges that alleged a ballot counting issue.  Lake lost the election to current Gov. Katie Hobbs by approximately 17,000 votes but has challenged the results.  Lake has argued that a ballot printer issue and the application of signature verification processes in Maricopa County were to blame.  A court of appeals denied Lake's request for review in February to toss ballots she alleges were riddled with errors, thus overturning the results of the election.  Lake's team argues that Republican voters were disadvantaged in Maricopa County because the chain of custody for ballots was improper, according to KOLD.

Auditing Biden's 'Victory'.  I've never heard of Joseph Fried before, and it was only a few days ago that I became aware of his four-month-old book Debunked: A Professional Auditor Reviews the 2020 Election.  But it turns out that this veteran MBA and CPA, who recently retired from his own auditing firm and now writes at Substack, has given us what must surely be the definitive work on the topic.  Having "professionally conducted and reviewed hundreds of audits," he brings his decades of experience in that field to bear on the administration of the 2020 presidential election in each of the six swing states that were awarded to our current dotard-in-chief, Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr.  Throughout the book, Fried's objective is to "analyze the major claims of fraud or irregularity, the credibility of those claims, the available evidence, and the threshold audit standards the states applied, or should have applied, relative to those claims."

Arizona Supreme Court Sends Essential Part of Kari Lake Election Lawsuit Back To Trial Court.  The Arizona Supreme Court issued a new order on Wednesday, sending a key piece of Kari Lake's Election lawsuit back to the trial court for further review.  "IT IS ORDERED denying review of issues one through five and seven.  The Court of Appeals aptly resolved these issues, most of which were the subject of evidentiary proceedings in the trial court, and Petitioner's challenges on these grounds are insufficient to warrant the requested relief under Arizona or federal law," states the order. [...] As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Kari Lake's lawsuit went to trial in the Maricopa County Superior Court on the issues of missing ballot chain of custody and Election Day machine failures.  The issues regarding fraudulent mail-in ballots and signature verification were tossed and were not considered in trial.

There Are Compelling Pragmatic Considerations Behind Supporting Trump Or DeSantis.  [M]any patriots respect both Trump and DeSantis and would gladly vote for either man.  But they also think that without election integrity, it does not matter whom the Republican party nominates for president.  They believe Democrats plan to steal the 2024 presidential election just as they did in 2020.  And through it all, they are convinced that the UniParty GOP will have done little to nothing before, during, or after.  Patriots must contact their local and state GOPs and ask what they are actively doing to promote fair and honest elections. [...] Many local and state GOPs form election integrity committees that rarely or never hold meetings.  Instead, these committees were created primarily to make Republicans think the GOP is doing something.  Then the GOP uses the nearly non-existent election integrity committee for fundraising.

Fulton County, Georgia, is also contemplating lawfare to derail Trump's presidential run.  Fulton County, of course, is one of the counties in which vote counting stopped for six hours in the middle of the night after the election.  Going into that six-hour pause, Trump was in the lead.  Coming out of it, Biden was in the lead.  There were other significant irregularities in Fulton County, all of which the political establishment protected from any investigation.  And of course, that's all Trump was asking for: An investigation.  Anyone with more than a handful of active brain cells understands that there wasn't some devious plot to undermine elections in Georgia.  Instead, it was a request for an investigation, something that the Georgia political system wanted to block at all costs.  What we're witnessing here, two and a half years after the election, is not the rule of law playing out.  Instead, we're seeing a determined effort to use the legal system to prevent a strong opponent of the Democrat party from running for office.

Biden's Plan to Rig the 2024 Election for Democrats.  Roughly two years ago, President Biden issued an executive order that went relatively unnoticed and has been mostly forgotten by now, but which endangers the integrity of our elections.  Executive Order 14019 instructs federal agencies, some of which are unrelated to election administration, to collaborate with external private groups to "promote voter registration and voter participation."  As innocuous as this sounds on its face, the White House is emulating billionaire Mark Zuckerberg's efforts to influence the 2020 election and turning it into a publicly-funded operation.  That's right:  who needs Zuckerbucks when taxpayers like you can fund Democrat voter outreach?  And before you say that's unconstitutional, since when has that mattered to the radical left that feels entitled to power and will do anything to preserve it?

A Gigantic Egg All Over Brad Raffensperger's Face.  Last week, when Georgia secretary of state Brad Raffensperger publicly supported ERIC after it was tossed out of Florida, West Virginia, and Missouri, we issued the Raffensperger Challenge.  The Raffensperger Challenge is the application of Fractal analysis to any entity that currently uses ERIC.  This week, we finished the first, in Washoe County, Nevada.  Brad Raffensperger says anyone outing ERIC is "extremist."  Today, two more extremists joined in: the secretaries of state of Iowa and Ohio.  Looks like lots of extremists showing up for work.  Is there anyone in politics who believes that elected officials in the two most benign states of Iowa and Ohio are extremist?

The coming Trump arrest is a very dangerous power play.  The economy was booming, China was being constrained, illegal immigration was diminishing, peace was blossoming in the Middle East, and there were no new wars or concentration camps.  Something needed to be done.  Enter COVID.  Democrats use COVID to shut down the economy, close schools, censor speech, and institute mail-in balloting that, in many states, was illegal according to their own constitutions.  Most significantly, they use the self-inflicted death of a felon with major heart disease who'd taken fatal levels of illegal drugs as an excuse to launch the BLM revolution.  And it was a revolution, designed to overthrow the government through hysterical racial division and attacks on America's infrastructure: cities burned, and activists targeted the White House, law enforcement, and the federal judiciary.  The election results are ludicrous.  A hugely successful president who managed rallies with tens of thousands of people despite COVID and who had caused significant numbers of minorities to cross to his side lost to a corrupt, demented, racist, and very stupid puppet who campaigned from his basement, in an election riddled with manifest problems, everything from mail-in voting (with all the evidence and envelopes immediately and illegally destroyed), to counting stoppages in the middle of the night.

Report: Leftist Groups Have a Billion to Spend Influencing Elections and Voting Procedures in 2024.  Left wing groups have a fortune to spend on election and voting procedures in 2024, which means what began in 2020 is only going to get worse.  This is not money that will be spent on campaign ads.  It will be spent on vote harvesting, election workers, getting out the vote, and mail-in voting.  This is what worked for Democrats in 2020 and 2022.  They are not going to drop these methods, they are doubling down on them.

Legacy Media Ignored Voting Irregularities in 2020 Election.  From "Russiagate" to the origin of COVID; from Hunter Biden's laptop to the efficacy of masks; and from Critical Race Theory "only being taught in law schools" to the "security" of our southern border, everyone now knows (including those who know but aren't unhappy about it) that the media have devolved, on issues with a political dimension, into propagandists for Democrats and the woke.  But there's another issue, indirectly related to the Fox case, that the media have bungled ... by ignoring it almost completely:  the many anomalies that attended the 2020 election results.  None of these anomalies turn on questions related to the Dominion machines, but instead, like those here, here, and here, raise compelling questions about the bizarre nature of the vote patterns by time of day, historical results, and multiple other metrics.  Virtually none of the legacy media examined or even reported on these baffling anomalies, instead suggesting that all challenges to the vote were "misinformation," and that all such that went to trial were thrown out by the courts. (That the courts rejected almost all of these cases on procedural grounds without even considering the merits is rarely if ever acknowledged in media accounts.)

Democrat Activist To Resign From Voter Roll Operation After Pressure From GOP States.  After Missouri, Florida, and West Virginia announced their withdrawal from the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) last week, nonvoting board member and founder David Becker tweeted that he would not accept renomination to ERIC's board.  As previously reported by The Federalist, ERIC markets itself as a voter roll management system used by at least 30 states and the District of Columbia.  It operates under the guise of helping states update their voter rolls by removing dead and duplicate registrants and comparing data with other member states.  But ERIC does more to inflate state voter rolls than clean them, as it requires member states to engage in partisan voter registration outreach.  Becker founded ERIC in 2012, but later changed his role to be a nonvoting member of ERIC's board.

Elections Have Consequences; Stolen Elections Have Catastrophes.  "Put the adults back in charge," they whined.  "Donald Trump will break the world," they lied.  Well, they manipulated election rules to certify suspicious vote totals that preposterously portrayed senile Joe Biden as the most popularly elected president in history; censored and locked up anyone who complained; and covered up their crimes with J6 show trials drenched in untruths meant to hide from history the Uniparty's underhanded machinations in outright stealing a presidential election.  The whole mess was so banana-republic-yucky that Biden was inaugurated behind barbed wire and a show of military force befitting the small junta who attended the successful coup's celebration.  And as a result of the Uniparty's installation of Dementia Joe as White House marionette, the American people have been plagued with crime, inflation, political persecution, COVID tyranny, deadly battlefield retreat, open borders, staggering drug deaths, proxy wars, bankruptcies, bank runs, endless new regulations, a plummeting standard of living, economic panic, and social volatility.

Whistle Blower Speaks Up On Illegal Ballots In 2020 Election.  A former top election watchdog in Florida who was fired for citing misconduct among Orange County officials is coming forward with more to say about the alleged mishandling of ballots in the battleground state.  Brian Freid, a whistleblower and former information systems director for the Orange County Supervisor of Elections, submitted an affidavit with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement alleging he witnessed a "gross lack of governance, oversight, rules, ethical standards, and regulations" in the handling of ballots during the 2020 presidential election.

Media Slander GOP States as 'Conspiracy Theorists' for Rejecting Voter Database that Compels Pro-Democrat Outreach.  After Florida, Missouri, and West Virginia announced last week that they would be withdrawing from the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC), a leftist-controlled group that fuels partisan voter outreach under the guise of simple voter roll maintenance, Democrats and their allies in the corporate media have been quick to label such states' concerns as conspiracy theories.  As previously reported by The Federalist, ERIC markets itself as a voter roll maintenance organization made up of over 30 states and the District of Columbia.  It was started by partisan, left-wing activists under the guise of helping states clean their voter rolls, i.e., remove dead and duplicate registrants by comparing DMV and social security data across states.  But according to good government group VerityVote, ERIC does more to inflate state voter rolls than clean them.  Under the ERIC membership agreement, states are required to send voter registration mailers to unregistered but likely — and usually Democratic-leaning — voters.

RNC, Vermont GOP Sue City Of Winooski For Letting Noncitizens Vote On Spending State Funds.  On Thursday, the Republican National Committee and the Vermont Republican Party announced they are suing the city of Winooski, Vermont for allowing noncitizens to vote in school board elections and on education budget referendums.  Two concerned Winooski residents are also a part of the lawsuit.  The lawsuit comes after the Vermont Supreme Court ruled against the RNC's previous lawsuit asking judges to find noncitizen voting unconstitutional.  While the court argued the Vermont Constitution did not categorically bar noncitizen residents from voting in municipal elections, it did find that votes with statewide implications would require United States citizenship, an RNC spokeswoman told The Federalist.  That is why the RNC's lawsuit is narrower in scope this time.  It only argues that allowing noncitizens to vote on Winooski's school board members and education budget is unconstitutional.

Mexican president threatens to meddle in US elections with 'information campaign' against Republicans.  Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on Thursday threatened to launch an "information campaign" in the U.S. against Republicans, telling Mexicans and Hispanics not to vote for them unless U.S. lawmakers change their treatment of Mexico — an apparent threat of election interference by the head of state in response to U.S. calls for action against cartels smuggling fentanyl across the border.  "Starting today we are going to start an information campaign for Mexicans who live and work in the United States and for all Hispanics to inform them of what we are doing in Mexico and how this initiative by the Republicans, in addition to being irresponsible, is an offense against the people of Mexico, a lack of respect for our independence, our sovereignty," he said.

The Editor says...
AMLO is wasting his breath, for indeed, Mexicans — even if they "live and work in the U.S." — are not supposed to vote in U.S. elections.

Some are now trying to turn a blind eye to the massive security failure on January 6, 2021.  [Scroll down]  Also, why is it hard to understand that when an election takes place during a pandemic, with millions of people shipping ballots rather than showing up at voting centers on election day, many people would be skeptical about the results of that election, especially when the candidate who lost won the election day vote?  Instead of labeling people election deniers, is it not better to ensure that even the appearance of fraud is eliminated by having most people vote in-person on election day and with proper identification?

Activists Are Screwing Up Wisconsin's Elections.  It's Time To Stop Them.  As Wisconsinites get ready to cast their votes for Supreme Court justice on April 4, one leftist group is busy bungling the election across the state.  Earlier this month, the Center for Voter Information flooded Wisconsin with pre-filled absentee ballot applications to gin up support for Democrats, most notably far-left Supreme Court candidate Janet Protasiewicz.  There was only one problem: The center botched voters' names, creating confusion and alarm in a state already troubled by election mistrust and security.  It got so bad that the Wisconsin Elections Commission issued a warning to voters about the center's "misleading mailers," adding that even the center didn't know how many mailers it had issued statewide.  Worse, no one seems to know what will happen to the countless mis-delivered ballot applications, a further recipe for fraud and election mischief.  But this is far from the Center for Voter Information's first offense — or its worst.

The American Left Rigs Elections Everywhere Else, so Why Wouldn't They Do It Here?  "If we were going to push for an election, then we should have made sure that we did something to determine who was going to win," said then-Sen. Hillary Clinton in a 2006 interview with the Jewish Press.  She was talking about an election of the Palestinian Legislative Council (the legislature of the Palestinian National Authority) that was won handily by Hamas, to the chagrin of the United States.  The UK Observer, which listened to the one existent audio recording of the interview, quoted Hillary in October 2016.  At that time, Donald Trump was catching flack for saying that the upcoming presidential election was already rigged.  Hillary's nonchalant admission — that rigging elections is SOP for America's establishment elite — remains just as shocking and revelatory today.

Why Judges Won't Rule There Was Voter Disenfranchisement When it Happens to Republicans.  As Arizona experiences a repeat of the 2020 election, where MAGA candidates allegedly lost to poor Democratic candidates like Katie Hobbs who refused to debate, some are turning on the MAGA candidates and blaming them instead of election fraud.  The candidates' lawsuits are predictably going nowhere, as judges throw them out for supposed "lack of evidence" or narrow technical reasons such as "lack of standing."  The judges pretend that witness testimony and affidavits don't constitute evidence, but every first year law school student learns that of the 11 sections of the traditional Rules of Evidence in law, an entire section, section 6, is devoted to witness testimony.  Witness testimony throughout history has been the smoking gun in many cases; defendants have gone to the death penalty based on witness testimony alone.  Jenna Ellis, former attorney for Donald Trump, tweeted on Friday about Kari Lake's election contest lawsuits, "She hasn't and won't win any of her lawsuits.  It's just fundraising at this point (ie grifting).  I was one of the first that endorsed her and supported her as a candidate, but this will set back the conservative movement for election integrity."

Now convicted felons can vote in Minnesota.  Formerly incarcerated felons in Minnesota will now be able to vote after a new law restoring their rights was signed by the state's governor.  Minnesota Governor Tim Walz signed a bill on Friday which gives convicted felons who have completed their jail time the right to vote.  Now, 55,000 individuals who were previously deprived of those rights can register to vote, the most significant expansion of that right in Minnesota in a half-century, according to the governor's office.

If The Dominion Defamation Lawsuit Is A Slam Dunk, Why Are CNN And The New York Times Lying About It?  Maybe a jury will decide Fox News really is responsible for tarnishing the reputation of a vote-tabulating tech firm.  I don't care.  But if not, maybe CNN viewers and New York Times readers should get ready to sue those two for lying about the details of the lawsuit.  As gleefully told by CNN and the Times, new legal documents prove that prominent Fox executives and primetime hosts knew that allegations from Donald Trump's 2020 campaign advisers about machines manufactured by Dominion Voting Systems corrupting the 2020 election were false, but repeated them to the Fox audience as true anyway.  That would mean Fox is liable for the defamation of Dominion for the purpose of, Dominion says, satisfying the cable channel's Trump-loving audience.  The evidence to back it up — or, as CNN and the Times suggest, indisputably prove it! — is in the court filings by Dominion, which include comments made publicly by Fox personnel and private messages between primetime hosts and executives.

Drop Box Ban Passes in South Dakota House, Bill Heads to Governor.  The use of ballot drop boxes has effectively been banned in South Dakota, with the state House passing the final version of an election bill on Wednesday following the Senate's passage earlier this week containing the amendment adding drop box changes.  The bill is now headed to the desk of Republican Gov. Kristi Noem for her signature.  Noem has in the past expressed support for banning drop boxes in the state.  The bill, HB1165, is a clean-up of absentee voting laws, Republican state Sen. Jim Stalzer said prior to the bill's passage in the Senate on Monday.

How to Lose in 2024.  Industrial-scale fraud, committed by organized actors, accelerates over time like a drug-resistant bacterium.  If you want to know how America is going to get screwed in 2024, follow the dough.  That is the Zuckerberg dough.  Zuck and pals are spending tens of millions of dollars, not padding voter rolls, not fighting lawsuits, not getting voters out early... they are spending the dough infiltrating and controlling election commissions.  For those who think cleaning the voter rolls and voting early are enough protect 2024, our data proves you are delusional.  The Left is all in controlling election commissions.  Expect Kari Lake's outcome to move from an outlier to a standard outcome in 2024. Election commission fraud, which we coined as sovereign fraud two years ago, has attractive characteristics for the Left.  It always works — because it is invisible.

Biden's DHS Just Revealed How It Plans To Use Your Tax Dollars To Interfere In U.S. Elections.  In its latest attempt to interfere in the electoral process, the Biden administration announced on Monday that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is planning to award millions of taxpayer dollars to local governments throughout the country for so-called "election security" purposes.  In an agency press release, the department revealed its plans to provide "more than $2 billion in funding for eight fiscal year 2023 preparedness grant programs," which it claims are designed to "help state, local, tribal, and territorial officials prepare for, prevent, protect against, and respond to" so-called "acts of terrorism."  Under Joe Biden's presidency, DHS has routinely identified targeting "domestic violent extremism" as its top priority.  Of course, such proclamations are never in reference to violence carried out by leftist groups such as Antifa or Black Lives Matter, but rather right-of-center people and organizations that threaten the regime's narratives and policy goals.

Election Reformers Get New Tool to Pressure States to Clean Up Voter Rolls.  A new interactive website database is now available free to individual citizens and election reform groups across the country to help in the fight to get all states to obey a federal election law mandating regular voter roll maintenance.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), a national, non-profit, law firm dedicated to election integrity, announced the launch of the website on Feb. 27.  The data provided on the website is designed to encourage some defiant state election officials to comply with the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA).  "We hope this interactive database will draw attention to the hundreds of thousands of errors in the voter rolls.  Every error in the voter rolls is a vulnerability in our elections that can lead to fraud and abuse.  Election officials must do their job and keep accurate voter rolls," said PILF president J. Christian Adams in a press release.

Chicago mayoral election results may be delayed DAYS due to mail-in voting.  Paul Vallas, former CEO of Chicago Public Schools is the first candidate for Chicago mayor to advance to the April 4th runoff election.  The AP announced Vallas' victory at 7:45pm EST.  If no candidate wins 50% or more, the election on April 4th will be necessary.  Local News ABC 7 reports that an initial slow turnout "may be due to a surge in voters choosing to mail in their ballots — which could lead to a dayslong delay in learning who makes the runoff."  As a result of this, the results of the election may not be known for days[.]

DC passes bill into law allowing illegal immigrants, other noncitizens to vote.  The Washington, D.C. city council made it official on Monday, illegal immigrants and other non-citizens can now vote in local elections.  The Democrat-run district that serves as the nation's capital went so far as to allow foreign diplomats to cast a vote.  That's according to various reports that the city council passed the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act after a 30-day congressional review period ended — the GOP-led House pushed to block the D.C.  law from taking effect but the Democrat-run Senate let the clock expire without taking action.  The law requires a person to be 18 and to have lived in D.C.  for 30 days to be eligible to vote, providing they do not claim voting residence in any U.S.  state or U.S.  territory.

With A Split Congress, Democrats Are Taking Their Election Takeover Scheme To The States.  In blue state legislatures, leftists are working to advance election bills that seek to dramatically overhaul state elections by enshrining Democrat-backed voting practices into law.  The widespread effort is an attempt to implement national Democrats' HR 1 policies in states across the country.  Deceptively labeled the "For the People Act," HR 1 was a bill supported by congressional Democrats and President Joe Biden during the early months of 2021.  The legislation was a concentrated bid by Democrats to cement many of the unsecure practices used throughout the 2020 election into federal law and allow the federal government to oversee and control the electoral process.  The measure's many changes to election administration include provisions effectively banning voter ID requirements, mandating universal mail-in balloting, and legalizing widespread use of ballot drop boxes, among others.  The bill furthermore violates core provisions of the Constitution, such as the Elections Clause of Article I and the Electors Clause of Article II, which stipulate that the states, not the federal government, are tasked with administering and overseeing elections.

Proof Kari Lake lost her election.  [Thread reader]  Expert Witness: Democrat Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs, who was Secretary of State presiding over the gubernatorial election against Republican Kari Lake, has a long and demonstrable history of corruption that includes using Mexican cartel money to steal multiple state elections.  The witness Jacqueline Breger, an insurance agent in Arizona, presented compelling testimony and evidence to the Arizona Joint Elections Committee on February 23, 2023, regarding massive corruption and collusion between appointed government officials, and the Sinaloa Cartels.  The money laundering and racketeering scheme allegedly uses fraudulent mortgages, real estate transactions, and insurance claims in Maricopa County to hide money made through drug trafficking, and bribery of elected officials, and to rig elections.  Harris/Thaler Law Corporation has been investigating multi-state racketeering and corruption.  In 2018, Mr. Thaler discovered, in an independent matter, a series of trust deeds evidencing that cash laundering through single-family residences in Arizona was pervasive and ongoing.

Chicago Inmates Claim Guards Are Trying To Get Them To Vote Illegally For Mayor Beetlejuice.  Chicago inmates have claimed they are being pressured to illegally vote in the city's mayoral election.  The inmates, some who are accused of murder, argued guards at Cook County Jail were pushing them to vote - despite some being registered in a different jurisdiction.  They claimed the guards were receiving orders from higher up and were 'just doing what I'm told' when confronted over the move.  It comes amid fears of ballot harvesting as insiders claimed the jail was the 'ideal environment' due to no cameras or election observers.  [Video clip]

Los Angeles County Scrubs 1.2 Million Names from Bloated Voter Rolls Thanks to Work by Judicial Watch.  Los Angeles County removed 1,207,613 ineligible voters from their voter rolls as part of a lawsuit settlement with Judicial Watch.  [Tweet]  Judicial Watch reported in January 2020 that the organization had found MILLIONS of extra registrants on voter rolls across the country.  The organization warned several states that lawsuits were coming if they did not clean up their voter rolls.

Writing code to flip votes 'very easy to do' but 'hard to stop,' programmer warns Arizona Senate.  A computer programmer testified this week to an Arizona Senate committee that voting machines are susceptible to manipulation as the panel seeks to require that voting machine components are made in the U.S.  and that the source code for the machines used in the state is available to government officials.  Attorney and computer programmer Clinton Eugene Curtis told the Arizona Senate Election Committee Monday that there are multiple ways voting machines can be hacked to change election results.  Curtis, a Democrat, began his presentation with a video clip of him testifying before Congress following the 2004 presidential election about how he believed that the election in Ohio was hacked.  In the video, Curtis explained that in 2000, at the request of a Florida politician, he created a program that "would flip the votes 51-49 to whoever you wanted it to go to and whichever race you wanted to win."  He added that elections officials wouldn't be able to detect such a program.

The Solution to Ballot Fraud.  The irresistible force is mail-in ballots, nonexistent signature verification, phantom voter rolls, a feckless Republican Party, Republican governors donating tax money to a George Soros-funded entity to clean voter rolls — election commissions changing ZIP codes so mail-in ballots stack up — courts refusing to remove dead people from voter rolls unless they miss two consecutive elections, and a Republican presidential candidate who thinks he can win with ballot-harvesting.  What could go wrong in 2024?  In 2000, the national realization was that election fraud is industrial-scale, committed by election commissions or with their acquiescence.  It is a sovereign crime.  The 2020 realization is that voter integrity teams cannot remove phantoms from voter rolls — even with death certificates.  This irresistible force will not dissipate.  Wisconsin advanced the state-of-the-scam to further flood voter rolls with anyone claiming existence.  Forty years of Republican acquiescence and temerity brought us here — the end of free and fair elections.  Election fraud is baked into every state's voter rolls — protected by government.

Social media mogul funds recruitment of progressives to administer elections.  The injection of private money into public election administration — or "Zuckerbucks" — is continuing in a new form, as left-leaning candidates are being recruited to run for local elections offices by an organization that receives funds from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.  The U.S.  Alliance for Election Excellence, a project of the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), is awarding funds to counties and municipalities under the Centers for Election Excellence program.  The alliance will provide $80 million over five years "to envision, support, and celebrate excellence in U.S.  election administration," according to CTCL.  CTCL poured nearly $350 million into local elections offices managing the 2020 election, with most of the funds donated to the nonprofit by Zuckerberg.  The nonprofit has claimed its 2020 election grants — colloquially known as "Zuckerbucks" — were allocated without partisan preference to make voting safer amid the pandemic.

Trump rages at Mark Zuckerberg amid claims group linked to Facebook boss gave $2 million to Georgia elections board.  Donald Trump is calling for Mark Zuckerberg to be prosecuted amid revelations a group linked to him gave $2 million to the Georgia elections board.  The former president laid out the allegations against the Meta CEO on his Truth Social platform on Sunday while sharing an article about the controversial donation.  'He [Zuckerberg] cheated on the Election(s).  The whole system is RIGGED.  Why isn't he being prosecuted?  The Democrats only know how to cheat.  America isn't going to take it much longer!' he wrote.

Election-Rigging from Abroad?  I Am Shocked, Shocked!.  Forget about the stories about the Israeli judicial reforms. Its critics are exaggerating, but now we have another exaggeration about Israel floating up to the top of the news.  Some Israelis — supposedly affiliated with a firm called Team Jorge — have been caught rigging elections. [...] I have no doubt that something was going on.  But the fact that it was exposed leads me to believe that the firm was not that competent, or it would not have been exposed.  When it comes to hacking, it is a signature of teenage hackers to brag about their exploits.

AZ Senate/House Elections Presenter Claims That Sinaloa Cartel Uses Bribes, Money Laundering, Election Fraud to Control Elected Officials.  Tempe Police Interim Chief Josie Montenegro, Phoenix DEA Special Agent in Charge Cheri Oz, and questionably elected Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes held a joint press conference Thursday to discuss the massive narcotic seizures in the Phoenix area, including over four and a half million fentanyl pills and over 140 pounds of fentanyl powder.  These dangerous drugs primarily come from criminal illegal drug traffickers with the Sinaloa Cartel, says Cheri Oz.  It is unclear how many narcotics were seized in 2023 to date.

Why the 2020 Election was Unverifiable.  Joe Biden acquired his job through a legal process.  However, he did not earn enough verifiable votes to justify the certifications in six key swing states.  This issue is addressed in my new book, but here is some of my reasoning.  I have limited myself to one example of unverifiable votes for each of those swing states.  At an Arizona Senate Committee hearing on January 24, 2022, we learned that precisely 95 percent of Maricopa County overseas military members (and their families) voted for Joe Biden.  That is an amazing (as in phony) percentage, given that the overall county-wide vote was fairly even between Biden and Trump (51 to 49%).  Winning the military vote in Maricopa County with a 90 percent margin strongly suggests the likelihood of fraud.  The findings were presented at the Committee hearing by Paul Harris, a corporate executive who had been asked to conduct the review during the Cyber Ninjas audit.  These are key points from the presentation.
  •   The "ballots" were simply unsourced sheets of copy paper.
  •   The number of ballots had jumped dramatically, from 1,600 in 2016 to 9,600 in 2020.
  •   Exactly 95 percent of the votes were for Joe Biden.  Harris estimated that these copy paper ballots provided 8,000 net votes to Biden, who ostensibly won the state by just over 10,000 votes.
Paul Harris analyzed just one county.  In Pima County, a witness named Kathleen Alby testified that "thousands" of "military faxes" were processed:  "At one point that's all that they were processing were the faxed ones."  And, as in Maricopa County, there was no chain-of-custody documentation.

Key Dominion exec admitted company products 'riddled with bugs' days before 2020 vote: Fox lawyers.  Dominion Voting Systems employees have acknowledged serious problems with the company's technology, saying, for example, that a bug led to "INCORRECT results," according to discovery cited in the defense brief in Dominion's defamation lawsuit against Fox News.  Dominion is suing Fox News for $1.6 billion for defamation after becoming a target of alleged conspiracy theories regarding its voting machines being hacked and flipping election results.  In a legal brief made public Thursday, the news outlet cited information obtained from Dominion through discovery.  In a 2018 email Fox News obtained from Dominion Director of Product Strategy and Security Eric Coomer, he acknowledged the company's technology was marred by a "*critical* bug leading to INCORRECT results."

SCOTUS again denies hearing 2020 election case alleging Biden, Harris, lawmakers ignored fraud.  The Supreme Court announced Tuesday [2/21/2023] it will not hear a 2020 election lawsuit against former Vice President Mike Pence, President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, 291 House members and 94 senators, after a petition to reconsider was filed last month.  The lawsuit alleges the respondents violated their oaths of office by refusing to investigate evidence of fraud in the 2020 election before accepting the electoral votes on Jan. 6, 2021, allowing for Biden and Harris to be "fraudulently" inaugurated.  The court held a private conference Friday to vote to reconsider whether to hear the case, releasing its decision Tuesday.  Four of the nine justices must vote to hear a case for it to move forward.  After the Supreme Court initially declined on Jan. 9 to hear the lawsuit filed by Raland J. Brunson.  He filed a petition on Jan. 23 for reconsideration.

To Save Wisconsin Elections, Republicans Must Kill Automatic Voter Registration.  On the extensive list of ugly election "reforms," you'll find automatic voter registration at the very top.  No wonder Democrat Gov. Tony Evers, who's never seen a far-left idea he didn't like, wants to dump it on Wisconsin.  Republicans, don't be fooled by claims of "saving democracy" or "protecting voting rights" — thin cover for a "progressive" power grab.  Automatic voter registration is the surest way to cripple Wisconsin's already questionable voter rolls and hand Democrats a permanent advantage in future elections.  These are the facts left-wing activists don't want you to know.

California Democrat Arrested, Charged With Mail-In Ballot Fraud.  A California city council member was arrested for allegedly committing election fraud.  Lodi City Council member Shakir Khan, a Democrat, was arrested on Thursday for multiple election fraud charges, including allegedly stashing 41 mail-in ballots at his home, falsifying voter registration documents, and pressuring residents to vote for him.  Investigators claim, based partially on body cam footage of police interviews, that Khan registered 23 people to vote at his home address and used his phone number to register 47 people to vote.

Supreme Court or Bust: Kari Lake Is Taking Her Lawsuit Onward and Upward.  Arizona GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake is setting her sights on the highest court in the state after the Arizona Appellate Court affirmed the superior court's decision to confirm Democrat Katie Hobbs as the state's governor.  Lake has previously filed a lawsuit against Maricopa County election officials and former Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, presenting evidence of widespread election irregularities and problems on Election Day in November 2022, therefore challenging the legitimacy of the gubernatorial election results.

The Democrat War on Election Integrity Continues.  ntil a couple of decades ago, voting in the United States was a straightforward exercise that required registered voters to appear at local polling places on Election Day and cast their ballots in person.  A small number were permitted to vote absentee if they were stationed overseas in the military or could show that they were otherwise unable to get to the polls.  This system, with minor variations, was used in all 50 states and revealed the winners of most elections with alacrity.  Though not perfect, it was generally efficient, secure, and trusted by the vast majority of voters.  Nonetheless, in the late 1990s, the Democrats began pushing for a number of fundamental changes to this system.  They insisted that it contained all manner of "flaws," but the actual impetus for "reform" was their decreasing ability to win majorities in federal and state elections.

Fox vs. Dominion Discovery Docs Show Employees Admitting Product "Riddled" With "Critical Bug".  In the wake of the 2020 election, there were widespread questions about the legitimacy of the election and even accusations of fraud, specifically pertaining to Dominion Voting Systems.  Fox News was willing to discuss the questions and concerns of many Americans even though they didn't fit the reigning Leftist narrative of a free and fair election with absolutely no ballot harvesting or manipulation of votes.  You know, the narrative where it's totally normal to take days to count votes and end up with middle-of-the-night ballot dumps overwhelmingly in favor of Democrats, ending with demented Joe Biden being the most popular president in history.  So Dominion Voting Systems sued Fox News for daring to report these questions and concerns.

Judge Overrules Board of Elections' Refusal to Recount Ballots in Sharp Rebuke.  It starts at the precinct level — the smallest political entity that may be a few city blocks or, in less populated areas, a few square miles.  And here's the deal in the Keystone State:  If only three voters in a precinct think there's a problem with an election, those voters can file a petition with the county election board and, until the issue is resolved, the election board cannot certify the election.  But the Chester County Board of Elections thought otherwise, despite valid petitions to recount ballots from the November election.  When the voter recount petitions went before Judge Jeffrey Sommer in the Chester County Court of Common Pleas, Sommer scheduled a hearing to examine the claims, the Delaware Valley Journal reported.

Kari Lake vows to take Arizona gubernatorial defeat to state supreme court.  Election denier Kari Lake promised to take her gubernatorial defeat lawsuit to the Arizona's supreme court after it was tossed for the second time on Thursday — less than two months after it was rejected by a Maricopa County judge.  The ruling from the Arizona Court of Appeals — the second and penultimate tier in the state's court system — came as the latest defeat for Lake, who in December lost the race to be Arizona's next governor by about 17,000 votes.  Immediately chalking up the loss to voter fraud, the 53-year-old former Phoenix journalist filed a suit alleging that problems with printers and election day protocol cost her a victory over Democrat Katie Hobbs.

The Editor says...
If the entire state of Arizona is corrupt, it won't do any good to appeal to the state supreme court.  And if that is the case, it wouldn't do any good to hold the office of Governor.  Or to vote.

Mattress Mack files lawsuit over elections issues in Harris County.  Houston businessman Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale, affectionately known as "Mattress Mack," has filed a lawsuit over issues with the 2022 midterm elections in Harris County.  McIngvale made the announcement Tuesday alongside media consultant, Wayne Dolcefino.  According to a news release, the lawsuit was filed as a way to "force transparency in our elections."  The lawsuit alleges the case is about providing the public with access to information to "ensure trust and confidence" in Harris County elections.

The 'DeSantis Is Trump Without the Baggage' Crowd is in for a Rude Awakening.  The first and most important angle to consider when analyzing this stance is the present reality of American elections.  President Trump's seemingly insurmountable election night leads in 2020, which were significantly larger than his leads throughout the night in 2016, somehow vanished into slim Biden victories.  In other words:  Without our corrupt election systems being corrected, it doesn't matter who runs since the winner is predetermined.  Trump didn't cost us; the election was stolen.  But for the sake of this discussion, we'll say that our elections are free and fair.  Despite his alleged loss, Trump gained more than 12 million votes from 2016 (and likely more,) the largest increase in vote total for any sitting president in American history and the highest vote total by any presidential candidate ever, aside from Biden's highly suspicious 81 million votes that same year.

The GOP will win by making voting harder for everyone.  Now that the midterms are over, this is not the time to relax.  Here is an early warning for the GOP:  Today is the day you must begin securing 2024's election.  Not a year from now.  Not six months from now.  Not next week.  Today.  Make voting much, much harder for everyone. [...] Vote harvesting must end.  No one should be permitted to submit ballots in any other person's name.  Thousands of "harvested" ballots were submitted by live people on behalf of dead ones, people who were coerced into voting a certain way, and people who were paid for their Democrat votes.  We learned via Dinesh D'Souza's expose, 2000 Mules, that drop boxes were being stuffed with phony ballots to a degree that would make Chicago blush.  Suspect machines and printers were used in Arizona, no doubt tampered with so that wait times to "fix" the machines were often several hours long, disallowing a voter to vote.  In this way, votes were suppressed.  Kari Lake should have won her election, but her voters were turned away and told to go to another precinct sometimes hours away and with long waits once again.  This was deliberate and obvious fraud in only her heavily Republican county.  All voting machines should be tested a week before the elections, again on voting day before polls open, and any anomalies fixed before polls open.

It's time for Republicans to get creative in the election integrity fight.  It goes without saying that voter fraud is nothing new.  Think Tammany Hall and Chicago's "city bosses," including Cook County in the 1960 presidential election.  Or read "Means of Ascent," Robert Caro's masterful account of "landslide" Lyndon's shenanigans at the ballot box during his 1948 Senate run-off in Texas.  And who can forget (except the media) the more recent FBI investigation into the corrupt "community organization" ACORN that resulted in the arrests of eight workers in St. Louis for a host of election law violations?  Pretending voter fraud doesn't exist is political strategy, not reality.  That's why partisans screaming the loudest at so-called "election deniers" have to rely on gaslighting and online censorship.  The Democrat/Media complex looks at ballot integrity precisely the same way it looks at climate change or vaccine mandates — there is no debate.  Of course, it's political crossdressing on an epic scale.  Democrats who've made a career of questioning elections suddenly irate over the sloppiest one in modern memory?

South Dakota House Passes Bill to Ban Use of Absentee Ballot Drop Boxes.  The South Dakota House of Representatives has passed a bill that would make it illegal to deposit absentee ballots in drop boxes for all elections.  This bill, which would require all voters to return mail-in ballots either by mail or in person, was advanced to the state Senate after the lower chamber voted 57-11.  The new legislation would prohibit the distribution of pre-filled mail-in ballot applications, as well as increase punishment for mail-in voting misdemeanors.  In addition to the restrictions placed on turning in absentee ballots, county auditors will also be unable to send out absentee ballots following the Monday before Election Day.  Republican state Rep. Kevin Jensen praised the legislation, saying, "It will clean up our elections.  It doesn't infringe on anybody."

Maricopa Heat Maps: The Story Keeps Getting Worse.  Last week at the "Save Arizona" rally, Republican candidate for governor Kari Lake made a startling revelation.  She started by showing a picture of the "Heat Map" of Republican voter turnout located in the Maricopa County Tabulation and Election Center (MCTEC).  The heat map was first disclosed by Richard "The People's Pundit" Baris and reported on by UncoverDC (UDC).  Lake next showed a map of voting centers that experienced highest rejection rates of ballots being run through tabulators on Election Day 2022.  When the two maps were overlaid, the results — though not completely unexpected, as Baris had alluded to it on his Inside The Numbers podcast — were stunning nonetheless.  A closer look at the map really tells the tale.  The red "pins" represent the Voting Centers that had a 50% or higher ballot rejection rate with their tabulators.  The blue pins represent locations with lower rejection rates but still experienced issues.  The Voting Centers with the highest rejection rates almost entirely fall within the heaviest concreted Republican areas or just on the outskirts.

Christina Bobb Knocks it Out of the Park.  One has to admire the brilliant highjacking of the American election process.  It was multi-level, using hundreds, if not thousands of tactics, and planned down to the last compromised County Councillor and State Elections Official.  Laws were ignored, ridden over, broken, transduced and corrupted into worthless paper.  Last week Christina Bobb, one time OAN anchor, former Marine and Judge Advocate, now President Trump's attorney, released her book describing what happened after the 2020 steal.  Bobb covered the election on the day, and in the weeks afterwards travelled ceaselessly, reporting on the aftermath.  At one juncture she started raising money to fund investigations.  She flew politicians to the Arizona audit and followed every court appearance.  Her book is an exciting, infuriating, massively valuable account of what happened.

Arizona is corrupt.  Just the News published a great article that I encourage you to read.  The recently stolen role of Secretary of State in Arizona is currently occupied by Adrian Fontes.  Fontes is seeking to have Lake prosecuted for tweeting evidence from the public Senate hearings, specifically regarding the mismatched ballot signatures that we've all seen a thousand times by now.  So what's really happening here.  Well, Katie Hobbs and her organized crime crew — the same Katie Hobbs that abused her power by requesting her political opponent be censored in an election she was overseeing and competing in and who threatened to have election officials arrested for not certifying her fraudulent election — is now attempting to intimidate Kari Lake for questioning her and her gang's corruption.  If we the people, don't stand up to this, we can kiss our elections goodbye; our votes will never count.  This election was stolen, and the evidence is as clear as day.

Your Government Wants to Keep You from Seeing Voter Rolls.  The narrative about "free, safe, secure elections" changed 180 degrees since November 2022.  Almost nobody is crazy enough to say America has free, fair elections.  After Kari Lake and Adam Laxalt, the most wimpish George Bush RINO hesitates to say "elections are fair."  Since our team processed billions of election roll "snapshots" taken since 2020, we run the largest election database in the world.  We concluded that U.S. elections are rigged by both parties, and they are rigged with the active help of election officials or their acquiescence.  Sovereign fraud — institutional election fraud by your government, first discussed on American Thinker — is real.  We have the data to prove it! [...] Why was the election fraud, which existed years before Trump became a candidate, so invisible?  Election officials of both parties do not want pesky citizens looking at voter rolls.  We know this because we have been in the room with them, virtually, demonstrating the most egregious voter roll anomalies, and they just refuse to see them.

When Will California Realize Its Vote By Mail System Is A Total Disaster?  The California Secretary of State just issued data that show the 2022 election was a mess.  Why?  Because of vote by mail.  Indeed, this was California's first election that relied on the United States Postal Service to get the mission accomplished.  In September of 2021, Sacramento passed new legislation that said everyone registered to vote — dead or alive — is automatically sent a ballot in the mail, every election.  That might sound good, but the new data prove that mass vote by mail should have remained a pandemic experiment.  An analysis by the Public Interest Legal Foundation shows over 226,000 mail ballots were rejected by election officials.  That's a quarter million citizens who thought their ballot would count, but it didn't.  The number one reason for rejection was the ballot arrived too late.  That's what happens when you put the post office in charge.  The United States Postal Service has a 94% success rate for timely delivery of political mail.

Arizona voting patterns challenge the Democrats' 2022 election narrative.  Did Trump-endorsed candidates really lose in Arizona?  Currently, the debate is about specific acts of election interference in Maricopa County.  However, looking at election patterns across Arizona, there's a compelling argument to be made that Trump did not lose Arizona and that only chicanery can account for Maricopa's gubernatorial and other high-office outcomes.  Kari Lake has been busy assembling evidence showing that Arizona's 2022 November election was manipulated in the statewide races thanks to shenanigans in Maricopa County.  However, it's easier to understand the corollary evidence for this accusation, which lies in the simple reality that, statewide, Arizonans voted for House Congressional Republican candidates by a large margin — 56.4% to 42.8% over Democrats.

Who is running our government?  [Scroll down] Pelosi's Congress was no slouch either and impeached him a second time, even after he left office (with the first impeachment over a phone call!).  Then came the most stunning election upset in history, after Joe Biden stayed in his basement for the entire election campaign while the media campaigned for him.  Biden brought nothing to the election — no soaring rhetoric, no catchphrases, no crowds, yet somehow not only unseated Trump but also garnered the most votes in American history.

Governor Abbott: election irregularities in Harris County may necessitate new elections.  Harris County Texas is huge.  If it were a state it would rank 25th in population, just behind Alabama.  Almost 5 million people live there.  Nine members of the U.S. House of Representatives hail from or represent the county, as well as 24 state representatives.  At its center is Houston, which is reliably Democrat, but the county as a whole is a swing district these days with both Democrats and Republicans winning elections.  In other words, how well the elections are run matters a lot, not just to the citizens of the county itself, but to the overall balance of power in the state and country.  Guess what?  The elections were run rather poorly last year.  So poorly, and suspiciously so, that Governor Greg Abbott is suggesting that new elections may have to be held.

State Lawmakers Should Follow The RNC's Lead And Reject Ranked-Choice Voting.  While most corporate media coverage of last week's Republican National Committee (RNC) meeting was devoted to the contested leadership race between Ronna McDaniel and Harmeet Dhillon, the organization's conference yielded a significant win for election integrity.  During the meeting, RNC members unanimously passed a resolution rejecting the use of ranked-choice voting (RCV) in U.S. elections.  In an RCV system, voters rank candidates in order of preference.  If no candidate receives a majority of first-choice votes in the first round of voting, the last-place finisher is eliminated, and his votes are reallocated to the voter's second-choice candidate.  Such a process continues until one candidate receives a majority of votes.

This #GoogleLeaks thread could be a bigger deal than the Twitter Files.  In a "Twitter Files" style thread, one independent journalist made the case for Elon Musk to further expose the unseen machinations of his social media company based on 2019 leaks that demonstrated Google's influence over elections.  Going by the name KanekoaTheGreat, the previously banned account that was restored by the billionaire entrepreneur, took to Twitter Monday with a link to a September substack he posted that declared "Google Rigged The 2020 Election."  The piece called back to the 2019 report by Project Veritas which spoke with Google insider Zachary Vorhies who leaked nearly a thousand pages of internal documents that detailed alleged censorship and suppression of conservative content.

Arizona Regime Is Investigating Kari Lake For Exposing Election Fraud.  The newly selected regime heading up Arizona's top statewide offices is now targeting Kari Lake with potential felony charges for speaking out against the rigged election in Arizona.  Questionably elected Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, a former lawyer for Mexican drug cartels, sent out a new letter on Monday, asking questionably elected Attorney General Kris Mayes to "investigate and take appropriate enforcement action against Kari Lake" for sounding the alarm about the stolen 2022 Election.

The Case against Trump 2024.  [#2] Elections.  When asked if the 2020 votes were fairly counted, my response is "I don't know, and neither do you."  The numerous anomalies make the answer unknowable.  What we do know is that the often illegal changes in the election laws in several states mean that the election was neither free nor fair.  For example, the mass mailing of ballots invites votes from people who either are dead or have moved away.  The bigger problem is that mass mailing denies everyone a secret ballot.  A ballot-harvester who knows you have a ballot could be an employer, a union leader, or a gangbanger.  Trump used these anomalies to naïvely insist that he be installed as president and that Kari Lake be installed as governor of Arizona — too little, too late.  That talk more than anything else will cost Trump the 2024 election, by costing him independent voters, who view these demands as attempts to override the Constitution[.]  The time to fight voting problems was before the election.

Top-to-Bottom Vindication for Georgia's 2021 Election Law.  As Dominic Pino pointed out yesterday, a recent University of Georgia poll hammers yet another nail in the already firmly shut coffin of the spurious "voter suppression" allegations about Georgia's voting laws.  In the poll, none of the respondents had a poor experience with voting:  ["]That's right:  0 percent of black voters in Georgia said they had a poor experience voting.  Zero.  On the positive side, 72.6 percent of black voters said their voting experience was excellent, almost identical to the 72.7 percent of white voters who said so.  Only 0.8 percent of black Georgia voters rated the job performance of election officials[."]

Tracking a Fraudulent Ballot in Real Time.  If you do not think the government's election commissions are in on the massive voter fraud inherent in every state's voter rolls, you can stop reading here — because they are, and we can prove it in state after state. [...] Anyone can compare voter rolls with NCOA (the National Change of Address database) and find people who moved.  Any high school math kid can run statistics against voter rolls and find anomalies growing on trees.  Any tech quant, living in his parents' basement, can run an obscure algorithm showing vote numbering inconsistent with historical patterns.  Come to think of it, in 2021 and 2022, these guys were everywhere — and they didn't remove fake voters.  Time to move on — they failed, and the Republicans failed with them.  We know phantom voters are the seed bed for fake ballots.  The ballots aren't fake — they are quite real, but called "fake" because they aren't voted by the name on their envelope.  We know that fake ballots are mailed, at industrial scale, to legitimate voters, fake voters, dead voters, voters who moved.

'I'm going to win': Kari Lake sets the record straight on gubernatorial fight, Senate rumors.  On Wednesday, Arizona's Kari Lake addressed speculation that she may be angling for a Senate run following her unsuccessful gubernatorial race.  While speaking to reporters at the Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach where the Republican National Committee winter meeting was taking place, Lake completely dismissed the rumors.  "I'm going to win this," she stated, referring to her lawsuit regarding the 2022 gubernatorial race, which was called for her Democrat opponent Katie Hobbs.

Shelby Busch Discusses Over 1,800 BLANK Ballot Envelopes, Dead Voters, Incorrect Signatures In Maricopa County.  We The People AZ Alliance co-founder Shelby Busch joined Steve Bannon's War Room on Wednesday to discuss the bombshell findings from the group's Monday presentation on 2022 Election failures in Maricopa County.  The newly formed Arizona Senate Elections Committee, chaired by State Senator Wendy Rogers, heard this presentation on Monday.

How Democrats Stole Pennsylvania in 2020.  My former OANN colleague Christina Bobb has shared an exclusive excerpt from her new book Stealing Your Vote — which came out today. [...] From Stealing Your Vote:  ["]Despite Congress's failure to act, Pennsylvania could well go down as the worst case of election theft in our country's history.  When election officials halted the count on election night, President Trump was ahead by 700,000 votes.  But three days later, they declared that Joe Biden had won.  President Trump was winning by the greatest margin on election night, that I believe Democrats were convinced they couldn't catch him.  So, Democrats stopped the counting, blocked Republicans from even entering the building, and then somehow counted an alleged 1.4 additional million ballots without oversight.  That gave the race to Biden ... three days later on November 7.  Pennsylvania voters wanted an explanation for how Joe Biden made up a 700,000-vote deficit with no oversight, and then won the state by 80,555 votes.  So, where did the votes come from?["]

There's Another Bombshell in Kari Lake's Election Lawsuit.  In a court filing from last week, "Governor" Katie Hobbs (D-Ariz.) requested that Kari Lake's election lawsuit be thrown out, claiming that Lake failed to prove that Arizona voters were disenfranchised in the 2022 elections.  "Despite seven witnesses, hundreds of declarants, and thousands of pages of exhibits, Lake failed to demonstrate any violations of Arizona law and offered no evidence that absent alleged violations the outcome of the election would have been different," the filing reads.  But on Monday, Lake's team indicated that more evidence is on the way, and this evidence could be game-changing.  "Yesterday @katiehobbs filed to get our lawsuit thrown out," the Kari Lake War Room account tweeted.  "Today, records revealed nearly a quarter of a million ballots were rejected on Election Day in Maricopa County in a race that came down to just 17K votes.  She's illegitimate & she knows it.  More evidence to come."  [Tweet]

Do You Trust the Integrity of Our Elections?  We can no longer allow some states to cheat by allowing non-citizens to votes, or by allowing political operatives to cast votes on behalf of unsuspecting residents.  That is why we need a national baseline of a few essential voting requirements, such as these:
  •   A ban on ballot harvesting, with a few limited exceptions for spouses or for people with disabilities
  •   A hard ID requirement — preferably with photos
  •   Mandatory citizenship verification when a person registers for the first time
  •   A uniform national Election Day cutoff for voting

What Would Happen if They Held a Voter Suppression Election and No Voters Got Suppressed?  Last January, Joe Biden set the Democratic base ablaze with the incendiary charge that Republicans were suppressing the votes of minorities.  "Jim Crow 2.0 is about two insidious things:  voter suppression and election subversion," Biden told a crowd at Atlanta University. "It's no longer about who gets to vote; it's about making it harder to vote.  It's about who gets to count the vote and whether your vote counts at all."  "It's not hyperbole; this is a fact."  At the time, it was a supposition, not a fact, to claim that the Republican election reforms would suppress the black vote.  And as it turns out, it certainly was hyperbole.  It was a supposition that was so pervasive that it forced Major League Baseball to cancel its all-star game set for Atlanta later that summer.  And numerous corporations punished the state for its supposed efforts to suppress the vote.  So where does Georgia go for an apology?

Removing Phantoms With Technology and 'Gentle' Persuasion.  If incoming email is any judge, there are large swaths of our citizen friends who want to get involved in fighting voter fraud — "just do something!"  Two years ago, most Americans thought phantom voters were comic book characters.  Nobody had ever seen one.  This week, we reached our 5,000th volunteer request (in 60 days) to help clean voter rolls — and we never asked for a single volunteer.  We are just technology guys.  Americans are fed up; they get it that their elected officials are not going to clean voter rolls.  Perhaps some people did not dig the Big Steal for the Trump election — but after Kari Lake, the Senate in Nevada, and dozens of local races, they are on fire now.

Watchdog Finds That 10.9 million Ballots Were 'Unaccounted' For In California.  As concerns continue to grow over mail-in ballots, a new report from a watchdog organization known as the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) found that almost half of California's 22.1 million mail-in ballots cast in the 2022 midterm elections were unaccounted for.  While PILF concedes that many of the ballots were likely thrown out or not sent back in, it is impossible to know what exactly was done with them after they were mailed to California residents, leading to 10.9 million of the state's mail-in-ballots being unaccounted for.  The organization is concerned that some of the ballots were withheld for their intended recipient or mailed to the wrong address, disenfranchising voters.

In Arizona, bombshell new evidence of Maricopa County election wrongdoing.  Maricopa County is the most populated part of Arizona.  When it comes to local government, it's strongly conservative.  However, abruptly and surprisingly, in both 2020 and 2022, Maricopa County suddenly started voting Democrat. [...] Maricopa County had 4,420,568 residents according to the 2020 census, making it the fourth most populous county in America, with over 60% of Arizona's total population.  Historically, it's been a consistently conservative county.  Before 2020, the county voted for every Republican presidential candidate going back to Eisenhower's first run. [...] Kari Lake filed suit alleging that election wrongdoing in Maricopa made the difference between winning and losing the race.  What happens in Maricopa matters because Lake allegedly lost all of Arizona by a hair over 17,000 votes.  Significant wrongdoing in Maricopa should invalidate the whole election.  So far, the judge hasn't yet tossed the case — and, after today's bombshells, he may not be able to do so, no matter how much he wants to.

Biden's 'Jim Crow 2.0' Lie About Georgia's Election Law Just Got Shredded.  The election security law passed by Republican lawmakers in Georgia and signed into law by the Peach State's GOP Governor Brian Kemp drew some of the most outlandish claims from Democrats who, for some reason, oppose making it harder to cheat and easier to vote in elections.  President Biden called the election security law "Jim Crow 2.0" and urged Major League Baseball to yank the All-Star Game from Atlanta, which they did — all based on a lie.  Woke corporations signed an open letter and used it to virtue signal their opposition to what they alleged would be racist disenfranchisement of voters in Georgia.  Celebrities took to their Instagram and Twitter followers to smear the law, furthering false claims.  Failed Democrat candidate for governor Stacey Abrams declared that the law proved definitively that Georgia Republicans were racist and wanted to return, as Biden had hinted, to some revamped iteration of disgraceful Jim Crow policies.  But then the 2022 primary election happened, and voter turnout records were broken.

Here Are Over 1,400 Proven Cases of Election Fraud, and That's Just the Beginning.  According to the Democrats, election fraud doesn't happen — except for when Republicans win elections... in those cases, it was probably Russia, who somehow hacked in and changed votes.  I mean, how else could a Democrat lose?  Right?  Meanwhile, we're all supposed to collectively turn a blind eye when Democrat wins an extremely close election under suspicious circumstances.  When that happens, we're told that election fraud is a myth, that our elections are perfectly secure, and if you dare ask questions, you'll get censored by social media because you are a threat to democracy!  But election fraud is not a myth.  In fact, 1,412 confirmed cases of election fraud have been documented in the Election Fraud Database maintained by the Heritage Foundation's legal center.

To Save America, Repeal the 19th Amendment.  The only iron law of history is that imbalances will be corrected, sometimes violently.  Based on current voting patterns, if women didn't vote, there would never be another Democrat president.  Now, who wouldn't make that trade?  Come on, ladies, do your duty to God and country, and give it up for America.

Vote machine tabulation error shifts one local race in Monmouth after irregularities discovered.  A possible malfunction of the vote tabulation system in Monmouth County led to the double counting of votes in six voting districts in four municipalities and appears to change the outcome of a school board race in Ocean Township.  Election Systems and Software (ES&S), Monmouth County's voting machine vendor, has acknowledged an error in their vote tabulation system that caused irregularities that were not discovered until an unrelated issue caused the Board of Elections to launch an internal investigation, according to an election official who spoke on the condition of anonymity.  The company called the issue an "isolated incident occurred due to a human procedural error.  An audit of the system yielded this information."

Election Integrity Watchdog Finds 10.9 Million 2022 Midterm Mail-In Ballots 'Unaccounted For' in California.  An election integrity group said 10.9 million out of a total 22.1 million ballots that had been mailed out to registered voters during the 2022 midterm elections went "unaccounted for," according to a Jan. 18 report.  "Mail voting practices have an insurmountable information gap," the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) said on Monday. "The public cannot know how many ballots were disregarded, delivered to wrong mailboxes, or even withheld from the proper recipient by someone at the same address."  The watchdog released the two-page report detailing what it called "the failures" of California's first mass-mail balloting election following the passage of Assembly Bill 37 (AB 37), which requires that ballots automatically be mailed to all active registered voters statewide.  The bill, signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom in September 2021, makes vote-by-mail ballots, a practice implemented in the 2020 general election in conjunction with the COVID-19 pandemic, permanent for all elections.

California: 10.8 Million Mail-In Ballots [are] 'Unaccounted For' in 2022 Elections.  More than 10.8 million mail-in ballots went "unaccounted for" in California's midterm elections last year, data published by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) reveals.  In 2022, California election officials mailed out more than 22.1 million ballots to registered voters, the data published by PILF shows.  Of those, more than 10.8 million went "unaccounted for" as researchers said election officials can only make assumptions as to what happened with the ballots. [...] Meanwhile, more than 226,000 mail-in ballots were rejected in the 2022 primary and general midterm elections in California, including more than 120,000 mail-in ballots that were thrown out in the general election.  The data published by PILF finds that more than 800 mail-in ballots were rejected after California election officials discovered the person who cast them had already voted.

2024: Republicans on Course to Get Blown Out by Phantoms.  Trump or DeSantis?  It doesn't matter.  Phantom voters will decide 2024.  The phantoms are not voting for either.  Those working deep in swing state voter rolls can tell you with 100% certainty that unless Trump or DeSantis wins with a 5%-to-18% margin in swing states, they will lose every one.  Let's do some electioneering math.  To win the presidency, about a dozen swing states matter — we all know who they are.  Some will add Georgia, Virginia, and Arizona, some not.  President Trump won in 2016 because he caught the leftists off guard.  Perhaps even Trump was surprised on Election Night — the surprise was so complete!  In 2020, the Dems took no chances.  They had everything wired — but our boy Trump surprised them again — so they shut down the election apparatus at 11:00 P.M. and took matters into their own hands.  Nine hours later, problem solved:  Joe Biden emerges from a basement, incoherent, to take the oath of office.  That, people, is hardball — professional, take-no-prisoners electioneering.  You may hate that the country is being lost, but you must stand back at the sheer breathtaking gall it reflects.

Fox News MIA on Lake lawsuit.  "Fair, Balanced and Unafraid" is now a distant memory.  Whatever the cause, considering the Fox News Channel to be a name to trust is a complete waste of time.  The fix is in.  Fox News reports on what they are told, not what is important for the country.  This includes the most popular shows in the evening, Jesse Waters, Tucker Carlson, Shawn Hannity, and Laura Ingraham.  All four still appear to be fighting for our country, but only on approved stories.  This has been going on for quite some time, but the absolute proof is that — based on what I saw — Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake's lawsuit against election fraud in Maricopa County wasn't given even one second of airtime last night, even though she has appeared as a guest on most of those shows in the past.  The lawsuit was filed at close of business Friday, and I'm sure that Lake could have appeared on one of the shows last night, but nothing — nada. [...] As far as I can tell, there has not been a peep on all of Fox about perhaps the most important lawsuit of the year, contesting the greatest political crime in history.  In an article yesterday, I explained why the numbers in Arizona are impossible without massive fraud.  Other networks and newspapers have covered the story — usually to declare it as a desperate move from a failed candidate.

Election Fraud Database Tops 1,400 Cases.  The Heritage Foundation's Election Fraud Database now includes 1,412 proven instances of election fraud, and our legal center is monitoring many other ongoing prosecutions.  The database, which provides a sampling of recent election fraud cases, demonstrates the vulnerabilities within the electoral process and the need for reforms to secure free and fair elections for the American people.  The database doesn't list potential fraud discovered by election officials and others that is never investigated or prosecuted, and it obviously cannot list fraud that goes undetected when states with poor security don't have the tools in place to even realize such fraud is occurring.  But states — especially now that many state legislative sessions are beginning — should make stopping fraud and ensuring the integrity of their elections a top priority.

The Manic Methods of Mad Democrats.  Before any presidential or midterm election, strict news suppression ensures that all bad news will follow, not precede, the voting.  The Twitter files, Project Veritas ambush interviews, the Podesta emails, and occasional left-wing braggadocio like Molly Ball's now infamous post-2020 election revelations in Time magazine, confirm the fusion between the media and the Democratic Party.  To the degree there is any independent journalistic inquiry about Biden — such as we are only now seeing with Biden's security violations — it is likely only because the party wants the 80-year-old enfeebled Biden out of office.  The Democratic-media-deep-state nexus quashed all 2020 pre-election revelations about the embarrassing Hunter Biden laptop.  Its contents more or less proved that the Biden family was corrupt.  Twitter and Facebook confessionals show how, in lapdog fashion, social media forbade coverage of the truth about the laptop.  More than 50 former intelligence officers, organized by the confessed liars John Brennan and James Clapper — both of whom have admitted to deceiving Congress while under oath — used their former titles to fortify the pre-election lie that Hunter's laptop was likely Russian disinformation.  A poll conducted after the election revealed that those voters who knew of the story might have changed their vote had they known the truth.  Neither Clapper nor Brennan nor any of their subordinates has ever apologized.

Wife of Woodbury County elected official faces 52 counts of voter fraud.  The wife of Woodbury County Supervisor Jeremy Taylor faces 52 counts of voter fraud for an alleged scheme in which she fraudulently filled out absentee ballot requests and voter registration forms and cast absentee ballots on behalf of others during Taylor's unsuccessful run for Congress in the 2020 primary election and his re-election to the county board in that fall's general election.  Kim Phuong Taylor, 49, was arrested Thursday and pleaded not guilty to 26 counts of providing false information in registering and voting, three counts of fraudulent registration and 23 counts of fraudulent voting.  She was released on a personal recognizance bond and ordered to surrender her passport and may not apply for a new one.

Just What Kind Of A Republican Is Mitch McConnell?  The 2022 Arizona gubernatorial election was eerily like the 2020 presidential election.  As highlighted in Republican candidate Kari Lake's lawsuit, there were massive and obvious voting irregularities.  The first sign of trouble was the elongated time frame that Maricopa County (home to 60 percent of Arizona voters) required to "count votes."  How could it be that the Election "Day" was November 8, but the final vote tabulation was not completed until November 21?  Signature verification issues and boxes of ballots bundled with no seal or chain of custody documentation alone amounted to hundreds of thousands of possible illegal votes that could have easily changed the outcome.  Consider, too, that Arizona's population is 7.3 million.  Texas, with a population of 29.1 million, and Florida, with 22.25 million, completed their tabulations on Election Day eve.

House, Senate Republicans Seek to Overturn D.C. Law Allowing Illegal Aliens to Vote.  House and Senate Republicans are seeking to overturn a new law, approved by Democrats on the Washington, DC, City Council, that extends municipal voting rights to illegal aliens.  In October 2022, the D.C. City Council voted 12-1 to advance a bill that will allow foreign nationals, regardless of if they have visas or are illegally in the United States, to vote in local elections such as school board races and mayoral elections.  About 50,000 foreign nationals and illegal aliens could be eligible to vote in local elections across D.C. if the measure is not thrown out by Congress before taking effect.

Fulton County 2020 Election Case Has Been Reinstated.  A 2020 election case that had been dismissed by a county superior court for "lack of standing" has just been reinstated by the Georgia Appeals Court.  The appeals court reinstated the Garland Favorito, et al. v. Alex Wan, et al. case, which alleges that counterfeit ballots were included in Fulton County's absentee votes in 2020.  The lawsuit against the county Board of Registration and Elections was originally filed in December 2020 by VoterGA, an election integrity nonprofit organization.  Henry County Superior Court Chief Judge Brian Amero had dismissed the case in July, which was upheld upon appeal.  "A judge on Wednesday dismissed a lawsuit that alleged fraud in Georgia's most populous county during the 2020 election," the Independent had reported.  "The suit sought a review of some 147,000 absentee ballots in search of illegitimate votes, but no evidence emerged to justify such a broad search, the judge said."

Arizona Court Of Appeals Schedules Conference In Kari Lake's Election Lawsuit, Agrees Case Should Be Expedited!  The Arizona Court of Appeals has ordered an expedited conference to be set for February 1 in Kari Lake's historic lawsuit to overturn the botched election in Arizona.  The Gateway Pundit previously reported that the court scheduled the morning of January 24 for a conference and oral argument in Kari Lake's appeal against Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson's dismissal of her lawsuit to overturn the 2022 Midterm election.  According to a new report, the court date would likely have been in March.  However, the court issued a new order setting a conference date and agreeing to consider Lake's 'Petition for Special Action'.  As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Maricopa County 2022 Election was a disaster.  In Maricopa County, over 50% of tabulators and printers failed the moment that polls opened, causing voters to be turned away from the polls and creating long wait times of four hours or more.  According to cybersecurity expert Clay Parikh's testimony, this was an intentional act aimed at disenfranchising Republican voters who turned out 3:1 for Trump-Endorsed candidates.  This and other election catastrophes in Maricopa County possibly stole the election from Kari Lake, Abe Hamadeh, and other Republican candidates.

Like Paul Revere, a Massachusetts Republican Sends Warning.  [Scroll down] Florida's election proved it — 'If they can't cheat, they can't win.'  Florida made a national laughingstock of itself during the 2000 presidential election.  It was a three-ring circus, complete with 'hanging chads'.  Since 2000, successive conservative governors and representatives in Florida, including Ron DeSantis, have worked to repair all the loopholes that enabled that embarrassing debacle.  Cheating in Florida was prevented through ironclad voter I.D. laws, tight absentee ballot rules, and keeping accurately maintained voter rolls.  Florida enacted prohibitions against mail-in ballots and ballot-harvesting.  These steps are essential to protect every state, too.  In addition, legislators must insist on paper ballots only and set a firm deadline for accepting ballots — no later than 7:00 p.m. on Election Day, no exceptions.  They must commit to finishing the count on election night, and plan to announce the results by 11:00 p.m.

Colorado Deploys Smokescreen To Avoid Explaining How Foreigners Received Voter Registration Notices.  When 31,000 foreign nationals are mailed information from state election officials about how to register to vote, there is a problem.  That happened in Colorado just before the 2022 elections.  After the news broke about these mailings in October 2022, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold didn't have an answer why it happened.  The office blamed the invitations to register to vote to the 31,000 ineligible residents on a comparison between the Colorado statewide voter roll and the master listing of licensed drivers in the state.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation, of which I am President, investigated how this error occurred and how to prevent it elsewhere, particularly in states that are members of the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC).

Court of Appeals Agrees to Expedite Kari Lake's 2022 Election Case.  The Arizona Court of Appeals agreed to expedite consideration of Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake's lawsuit alleging that the 2022 election was flawed.  In a brief order, issued on Jan. 9 and made public the next day, the court ordered a reset of "the matter for conference on February 1, 2023," and agreed with Lake's arguments that her challenge should be handled as a "special action petition."  The court date was reportedly scheduled for March.  Lawyers for Democrat Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs, the state's former secretary of state, has until Jan. 17 to respond and argue why Lake's challenge should be rejected, according to the order.  Lake had petitioned both the state's Appeals Court and Supreme Court after a Maricopa County judge rejected her case after a two-day trial in December.  But earlier this month, the Arizona Supreme Court denied Lake's petition to transfer her election lawsuit to the high court and said it will be heard before the Appeals Court first.

Ranked-Choice Voting Keeps Rigging Elections.  As different states and municipalities across the country adopt ranked-choice voting, it's become obvious this mind-boggling election system deserves a new name: rigged-choice voting.  After nearly two months of tabulation, Alameda County, California, — one such ranked-choice voting (RCV) adoptee — announced it got the count wrong for its Nov. 8 election.  As The Wall Street Journal reported, the California county admitted it made systemic errors while tabulating ballots.  As a result of the snafu, an Oakland School Board race flipped:  The top vote-getter (and certified winner) must now hand his board seat over to the third-place finisher.  While gross negligence on the part of some Alameda County election officials is not only probable but likely, RCV's Byzantine election system must also take the blame.  In it, voters rank candidates in order of preference.  If no candidate receives a majority of votes in the first round, the last-place finisher is eliminated, and his voters are reallocated to the voter's second-choice candidate.  The process continues until one candidate receives a majority of votes.  For the Oakland mayor's race, it took nine baffling rounds of RCV for one candidate to receive the narrow majority.  The local NAACP chapter demanded a manual recount but scrapped it due to the expense.

Has election integrity fallen between the cracks?  Last week, we all watched our Congress in an upheaval, largely because a few courageous conservatives refused to auto-endorse a swamp-creature to be Speaker of the House.  Although Kevin McCarthy ultimately prevailed, the conservatives are heralded for enforcing compromises to obtain their votes.  That's all good as far as it goes.  But did any of the concessions the House conservatives were requesting include mandates that the integrity of our elections be restored?  If so, many of us out here beyond the Beltway have yet to hear anything about it.  Funny how those already elected to office don't seem to care a whole lot about discussing whether the elections that put them there were honest.  Meanwhile, the much-lauded election integrity case brought by the Brunson brothers was not surprisingly turned away at the door by the Supreme Court.  Again, the message the justices are sending us is clear.  If there is any election cheating going on anywhere out there in any of the 50 states, the Supreme Court just doesn't seem to care and don't want to even hear about it.

US Supreme Court Also Decides NOT to Look at Bonner Case on Legality of Mail-in Ballots.  The US Supreme Court not only decided not to look at the Brunson brothers' case, but also decided not to take up the Bonner case challenging the legality of mail-in ballots.  Such a shame.  The US Supreme Court is absolutely frightened to take up strong cases that challenge corrupt elections or corrupt practices.  Yet this is the biggest issue facing our country right now and the biggest threat to our Constitution.

Election Fraud Infrastructure: Your Government At Work!  There is nothing so unnerving as government-initiated election fraud, perpetrated by both political parties, hiding in plain sight.  This is the world we live in — the one Republicans are about to encounter.  The most basic ingredient for industrial-scale voter fraud is the voter roll, fat with phantom names and addresses.  Someone may be able to transport 250,000 paper ballots from New York to Pennsylvania, leave the truck in the parking lot, and find it gone when he returns.  Those ballots are useless paper if not tied to an identity at a real address.  The hard part is creating people and addresses — it is an industrial-scale operation.  Just think how hard it would be for you and your pals to create 250,000 fake names and tie each to a real address.

The Uniparty Sure Hates Democracy!  [Scroll down]  It is much more elegant when ballots can be printed, signatures forged, and elections certified according to the wishes of the ruling elites.  The appearance of democracy in the absence of it is ideal.  The practice of actual democracy would bring the whole government's house of cards crashing down!  Huge majorities of Americans, after all, have for decades despised illegal immigration, wasteful government spending, central bank money printing, endless foreign wars, the purposeful offshoring of America's manufacturing and industrial self-sufficiency, the forced replacement of cheap hydrocarbon energies with windmills and "green" dreams, and multinational corporate lobbying interests superseding Americans' wishes.  If democratic majorities of Americans were actually allowed to get their way, the small faction of Uniparty elites running the country into the ground would have no means to money-launder their poor decisions into personal financial gain!  Chalk this up as yet another gloriously enlightening example of piercing through the Uniparty's lies and illusions.

If You Live In a Western Democracy, This is How You Have Been Disenfranchised.  Look at any set of problems we now face:  the corruption of public health, the economy built on debt and financialization, the stolen voting, the theft of our resources, the growing biomedical security state and you will find this same methodology.  It works for every problem.  It is the Mark of the Beast.  Everywhere there is injustice, theft of the people's energy, this is the system they use to oppress and silence us, to impoverish the future, to ruin the present.  This is how they steal elections and destroy independent businesses.  I illustrate these steps with excerpts from a SCOTUS case before the court now, regarding the theft of the 2020 election in Delaware County, Pennsylvania.  In that case, 327,000 mail in ballots had no chain of custody.  None.  Evidence was illegally destroyed.  Hard drives were lost.  Tens of thousands of misdemeaners were committed by election officials[.]

DSCC paid illegal alien for campaign services, a likely FEC violation.  During the 2022 midterm elections, the Democrats paid half a million dollars to an Arizona company called La Machine Consulting for canvassing work and other campaign services.  There's nothing wrong with that since many such companies do business all over the country and both parties make use of their services.  Or at least there wouldn't be anything wrong with that except for one potentially glaring problem.  As Chuck Ross reports at the Free Beacon this week, La Machine Consulting is owned by Antonio Valdovinos.  And Mr. Valdovinos proudly portrays himself as a "dreamer," meaning that he's not a citizen and is not in the country legally, even though he received a deferment under DACA.  And the FEC frowns on that sort of thing.

Maricopa County announces investigation into Election Day printer issues.  Officials in Arizona's largest count have launched an investigation into significant issues reported with election center printers during the 2022 midterm elections.  Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Gates and Vice Chairman Clint Hickman announced Friday the investigation via a statement released on Twitter.  "This Board of Supervisors has always been committed to continuous improvement.  When things don't work, we find out why," the statement said.  The two chairs said former Arizona Supreme Court Chief Justice Ruth McGregor will lead the inquiry.

Colorado Won't Name 31,000 Foreign Citizens It Sent Voter Registration Info, So Counties Have No Idea If They Voted.  Colorado officials are still refusing to cooperate with local counties after the secretary of state's office sent more than 31,000 foreign nationals postcards on how to register to vote in time for the 2022 midterms.  According to a newly released report by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), the Colorado secretary of state's office has refused to give county election officials the names of foreign nationals who received voter registration instructions in their counties back in October.  According to documents obtained by PILF, Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Beall refused to give the names of 54 foreign nationals who were mailed the voter registration postcards in Moffat County.

A Mulligan for the Supreme Court.  Many would argue that the Supreme Court had a terrible "first shot" in regards to the election of 2020, when they refused to become involved in the many issues raised by the Presidential election.  Perhaps the most notable of these was Texas vs.  Pennsylvania, in which the State of Texas asked that Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin not be allowed to certify their 2020 election results because changes in their election procedures made by courts, governors, and election officials violated the Constitution, which rests the power to define the "times, places, and manner" of federal elections solely in the hands of state legislatures, an argument commonly referred to as the "Independent State Legislature" (ISL) theory.  The Court refused to consider the case, not on the merits of its argument, but on a technicality, claiming that Texas had not demonstrated a "judicially cognizable interest" in the manner in which another state conducts its elections.  As a result, we have seen nearly two years of the rapid destruction of our nation, including fiscal irresponsibility that is led to staggering inflation, a steady decline in the stock market, enactment of policies that have reduced us from energy independence to a nation that must look to countries such as Venezuela and Iran to meet our basic needs and, perhaps most frightening, the politicization of the Department of Justice (including the FBI) into organizations resembling a third-world police state.  Fortunately, there are cases currently before the Supreme Court that offer them the opportunity for a "do-over."

As Republicans launch new legal strikes, Arizona's largest county says 4,849 ballots [have] not [been] counted.  Arizona Republican candidates Abe Hamadeh and Kari Lake have launched new legal maneuvers to contest the November election as the state's largest county gave its most detailed explanation to date on why it did not count more than 4,800 provisional ballots cast two months ago.  Hamadeh, the GOP's attorney general nominee. on Tuesday filed a motion for a new trial after a Mohave County Superior Court judge dismissed his and the Republican National Committee's election challenge just before Christmas.  [Tweet]  While Hamedeh lost Dec. 23, he forced into public new evidence of voting problems in Pinal County that even Arizona's new Democrat secretary of state concedes was troubling.  That new evidence is one focus of his request for a new trial.

The Coup We Never Knew.  Did someone or something seize control of the United States? [...] Since when did the people decide that 70 percent of voters would not cast their ballots on Election Day?  Was this revolutionary change the subject of a national debate, a heated congressional session, or the votes of dozens of state legislatures?  What happened to Election Night returns?  Did the fact that Americans created more electronic ballots and computerized tallies make it take so much longer to tabulate the votes?

Wisconsin Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos Accused of Suppressing Election Fraud Evidence from 2020 Presidential Election.  Wisconsin election integrity expert Peter Bernegger went public last week publishing an exhaustive list of apparent election fraud evidence in a string of over 100 Twitter postings and appearing on the conservative Talk Show, The Schroeder Show, WTAQ, in Green Bay.  Bernegger implicated Wisconsin Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester) in a cover-up of evidence that clearly affected the outcome of the 2020 Presidential Election in Wisconsin.  Twitter has not pulled these postings down nor have they censored Peter Bernegger.  The 2020 Wisconsin Presidential Election was allegedly decided by just 20,682 votes with President Trump leading by some 110,000 votes at midnight with all precincts having reporting their results.  Then at 3:26 A.M., a massive vote dump from a supposed missing flash-drive on Wednesday, November 4th, of some 170,000 votes by the City of Milwaukee Elections Director Claire Woodall-Vogg, showed President Trump's lead having completely evaporated in an 18-minute time-period.

They are the insurrectionists.  The Brunson v Adams case focuses on a breach of national security that could, if ruled on properly, unwind the corruption that led to the 2020 election debacle.  The case would see most of the congress dismissed for that national security breach by failing to investigate charges brought by members of the House that election laws that were not obeyed during the 2020 election led to a breach of national security, i.e, removing a duly elected president in favor of an illegitimate one.  Which is what obviously happened.  Bill Barr, head of the Justice Department, went on national news programs and declared there was no election fraud in the 2020 election without having a single investigation into the multitude of charges and accusations referred to the Department of Justice from around the country.  He simply lied and said what it would take to keep the coup from being exposed, nothing else.  This is a serious violation of law, a serious violation of ethics, protocol and morality for which he has paid no price.  Had Barr instead honestly investigated the charges brought to him, the outcome of the election would have been in doubt until that investigation was complete.  It would have forestalled the inauguration on grounds that until an election is verified as free, fair and legal, there should be no change in the current administration.

Dem-Led Swing States Are Seizing The Opportunity To Rewrite Voting Laws.  Democratic-led swing states are jumping at the chance to rewrite voting laws ahead of the 2024 presidential election, Politico reported.  Currently, more than 100 election-related bills have been pre-filed for the 2023 legislative session, according to the nonpartisan group Voting Rights Lab, which tracks election laws across the states.  Democrat-led states are more likely to favor laws which loosen voting restrictions, such as by expanding early voting or adopting automatic voter registration, according to Politico.  In Minnesota, where voters swung for President Joe Biden by 52.4% in 2020, state leaders may consider proposals to restore voting rights to convicted felons and adopt automatic voter registration, which immediately registers citizens to vote who interact with any government agency unless they request to be opted out.

10 Scandals To Keep Your Eye On In 2023.  [#5] Eugene Yu Versus True the Vote:  Last year ended with the L.A. County district attorney's office dismissing criminal charges against Yu, the founder of the Michigan-based election-management software company Konnech.  The L.A. County D.A. had previously announced Yu's arrest, stating in a press conference on Oct. 4, 2022, that "under its $2.9 million, five-year contract with the county, Konnech was supposed to securely maintain the data and that only United States citizens and permanent residents have access to it."  Yet according to the press release, "District Attorney investigators found that in contradiction to the contract, information was stored on servers in the People's Republic of China."  Shortly after Yu's arrest, the self-proclaimed "nation's leading voters' rights and election integrity organization," True the Vote, announced that it had "played a small role" in the investigation of Konnech and applauded the L.A. County D.A.'s office for its work on the case.  True the Vote's involvement in the case apparently prompted the far-left D.A. to rethink the charges and eventually led to the dismissal of the criminal case, because of its concerns "about both the pace of the investigation and the potential bias in the presentation and investigation of the evidence."

Over 333,472 Misdemeanors Committed in Kari Lake's Election, But Trial Court Judge Shrugged Them Off.  Distrust in the justice system over its refusal to stop voter disenfranchisement is spiraling after Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson dismissedKari Lake's lawsuit challenging the results of Arizona's botched midterm election, where Democrat Katie Hobbs was declared the winner.  Hobbs was losing in almost every MSM poll and didn't bother to debate Lake, prompting one of the most prominent progressive journalists in the state to denounce her hiding in her basement as "political malpractice."  Hobbs was such an unremarkable candidate that she has only 177k Twitter followers to Lake's 834k followers, over 400% fewer.  The Republican Party has a 4% voter registration over Democrats in both Maricopa County and statewide.  Despite this, 14% of voters supposedly flipped to oppose Arizona's top Trump candidates.  Just like how no one believed Donald Trump lost the state in 2020 when he led Joe Biden three or four points going into the election, no one believes Hobbs won.  This is why instead of being happy and gloating at their win, the left is reacting with a bizarre level of intense anger towards the right.

Fishing as a Guide to Election Integrity.  Some people think my hometown of Cleveland is a dull place, but we have plenty of excitement here.  For example, there were two men who nearly won $30,000 in a 2022 walleye fishing tournament on Lake Erie.  And they won lots of money before, including about $150,000 worth of prizes in 2021.  What was their secret?  Their fish weighed more than anyone else's fish.  It's pretty simple, right?  In the last competition, however, a skeptical judge did something that had never been done before:  He sliced open one of the fish, and inside he found an amazing amount of weight that looked like lead balls.  Unless those were humongous kidney stones, the men were cheating.  They are now charged with multiple criminal offenses, including attempted grand theft and possession of criminal tools.  In a fishing competition, it is not good enough to merely count the pounds:  It is necessary to make sure you are counting pounds of real fish, not lead balls.  That same principal should apply to our elections.  In most cases, however, election administrators simply count the ballots without making sure that they represent real voters.  We just saw a great example of this with the Kari Lake-Kattie Hobbs governor's race in Arizona.

GOP's Hamadeh calls to inspect all ballots after recount narrows opponent's lead.  Arizona Republican attorney general candidate Abe Hamadeh called on Thursday for the inspection of all ballots in the very close statewide race after a recount saw his opponent's lead narrow by nearly half.  Democratic candidate Kris Mayes emerged ahead of Hamadeh by 511 votes in the original tally, which subsequently dropped to a mere 280 following the recount.  Hamadeh contends that such a discrepancy warrants further review of the contest.  "This is a battle fighting for the transparency of Arizona elections and we continue to uncover significant issues within our flawed systems including over 4000 provisional ballots that remain uncounted.  Transparent elections are fundamental to a democracy," he said in a statement.

Poll shows huge majority of voters want election changes scrapped.  Mass mail-in ballots, sent out whether a voter asks for such a ballot or not, and done off dirty voter rolls full of dead people, people who have moved, illegal aliens, and voters registered at Mongolian restaurants, as Jay Valentine noted in his piece here, with corrupt secretaries of state temporarily changing an address letter or two to ensure non-delivery of the mail, are wide-open opportunities for ballot-harvesters.  The latter gather ballots and fill them in based on who's paying them for their "deliveries" and the stuffed ballot boxes, often arriving well later than election day, becomes the election result.  The failure to enact voter-ID ensures that anyone can claim any identity and cast a ballot.  Illegals, felons, people with multiple names, people with fake names, people who have registered their dogs to vote, people voting in the name of other people, you name it.  Once the cast ballot is into the tub, it's gone, off to be counted even if it was cast illegitimately, and if the real owner of that name comes in asking to vote, too bad for him.

Maricopa County Election Director Scott Jarrett Testifies He Had No Idea How 19 Inch Ballot Image Could Be Printed On 20 Inch Paper.  Maricopa County Election Director Scott Jarrett likely perjured himself in a court of law by lying about the ballot printer settings that caused tabulation failures and disenfranchised thousands of election day voters.  Jarrett testified under oath during Kari Lake's historic election contest trial against Democrat Katie Hobbs and the Maricopa County election officials.  On Election Day in Maricopa County, over 50% of tabulators and printers failed the moment that polls opened, causing voters to be turned away from the polls and creating long wait times of four hours or more.  According to cybersecurity expert Clay Parikh's testimony, this was an intentional act aimed at disenfranchising Republican voters who turned out 3:1 for Trump-Endorsed candidates.

The End of Free Elections?  Leftists and RINOs have spent the last 40 years transforming election machinery to end your right to vote — and they are about to finish the job.  This week, the governor of Minnesota took the lead by planning to register, automatically, teenagers not old enough to vote.  On election day, there will be tens of thousands of names, with little history, who can be voted by election commissions when needed.  Democrats are proposing laws making it a felony to question an election.  Of course they are!&nb sp; Breitbart, Fox News, and about every other mainstream controlled opposition are cowed into submission.  Election commissions regularly add to election rolls, automatically, every person using any state service — even if that person has not requested to be an elector.  Your illegal migrant, getting welfare or a driver's license can be automatically added to the state rolls.

Harvesting Low-Effort Votes Is Working Great For Democrats, So They're Going For More.  The dust of the 2022 midterm contests has barely settled and Democrats — invigorated by the Red Wave that evaporated under extended lax voting policies — are out to make sweeping changes to our nation's election laws once again.  Think back to 2020, when Democratic governors and unsuspecting Republican lawmakers made unprecedented changes to state election policies in the name of Covid that included mandating universal mail-in balloting and a month of early voting.  Some states have kept these changes permanently.  But Democrats are not satisfied, and why should they be?  With their gubernatorial power retained (they kept all but one of the governor's offices) and newfound control of state legislatures in both Michigan and Minnesota, Democrats are keen to ram through a whole gamut of unprecedented and unconstitutional changes.  It's working, so they're going to keep doing it.

Kari Lake Finally Scores a Win Against Katie Hobbs.  With the dismissal of Kari Lake's lawsuit over Arizona's 2022 election, a contentious saga was brought to an end.  Despite issues with voting machines and questions about the chain of custody of ballots, the judge in the case said the Lake campaign did not meet the legal threshold needed to provide any remedy.  Ultimately, as I wrote initially when the lawsuit was filed, it was always likely to be too difficult to prove intent (required under the law) and that voters were actually disenfranchised.  Supposition, as much as it makes for good internet chatter, wasn't going to do it here, and without direct evidence that ballots were improperly discarded or tampered with (i.e. votes changed somehow), the end result was inevitable.  Regardless, Hobbs, being the insufferable Karen that she is, couldn't just walk away victorious.  She instead requested the judge sanction Lake as punishment for even challenging the election.  On that front, Lake has finally scored a win, albeit one that probably won't be much consolation.

Lake v. Hobbs, the Ruling.  The court permitted two counts from the original ten in the Complaint to proceed to Trial: 1) the claim that ballot-on-demand ("BOD") printer malfunctions experienced on Election Day were caused intentionally and that these malfunctions resulted in a changed outcome (Complaint Count II); and 2) the claim that Maricopa County violated its own election procedures manual ("EPM") as to chain of custody procedures in such a way as to result in a changed election outcome (Complaint Count IV).  After laying out the "clear and convincing" burden of proof Lake needed to carry, the court summarized and evaluated the witnesses and evidence Lake presented.  The court looked to Arizona case law going back to 1898, before we became a state in 1912, for the proposition "it is ... unwise to lay down any rule by which the certainty and accuracy of an election may be jeopardized by the reliance upon any proof affecting such results that is not of the most clear and conclusive character." [...] Much of Lake's case was hearsay.  Ms. Honey relied on what another person said in an affidavit about ballots being added to the stream of ballots by Runbeck employees without a chain of custody for them and in violation of law.  She did not see this happen with her own eyes.  Defense counsel was unable to cross examine the person who allegedly saw the deed take place.  Freshman law students will tell you those statements were not made in person inside the courtroom, were not subject to cross examination at trial, and are hearsay on their face.

Katie Hobbs, Maricopa County File Lawsuit Demanding Sanctions Against Kari Lake.  A new lawsuit has been filed in the ongoing feud over the 2022 Arizona gubernatorial election, as Secretary of State (and incoming Governor) Katie Hobbs joins the Maricopa County board of elections in taking gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake to court over her claims and previous lawsuits.  According to the suit, Maricopa County contends that "Before a single vote was counted in the 2022 general election, Kari Lake publicly stated that she would accept the results of the gubernatorial election only if she were the winning candidate" but that "she has not simply failed to publicly acknowledge the election results."

Kari Lake failed to meet a standard that is impossible to meet.  Kari Lake has just lost her trial to overturn the election in Arizona.  She presented uncontroverted testimony that the dimensions of the ballot on Election Day were changed from the dimensions that were tested before the election.  This caused the ballot readers great difficulty, since they are programmed to look for marks in specific locations, and the size change moved those marks.  This then led to great confusion, delays, and departure of voters who could not continue to wait their turn.  Those non-voting voters were mostly in dark red areas, so the "errors" disenfranchised Republicans.  Lake presented uncontroverted testimony that the printers were reset to print on the different-sized paper, showing that election officials knew that there was a problem.  She presented even more uncontroverted testimony that election officials did not tally the total number of ballots before transmitting them to the central office, contrary to bright letter regulations and law.  And finally, she presented uncontroverted testimony that over a quarter million ballots were counted but had no chain of custody, again contrary to law.  That "oversight" could allow many thousands of ballots — not votes — to be snuck in to be counted.

The Dismissal of Kari Lake's Election Lawsuit Shows Voter Disenfranchisement No Longer Matters.  The trial court judge in Kari Lake's election lawsuit predictably threw out her case on Saturday, putting on a sham trial that on the surface looked fair to the general public that doesn't know any better, but to legal minds was a travesty of justice.  Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson only gave her two days for a trial and issued his ruling immediately afterwards, even though he could have taken several days, and it was one of the biggest, most important cases in the country.  Legal experts believe his decision was ghostwritten, they suspect top left-wing attorneys like Marc Elias emailed him what to say.  The standard should have been whether voters were disenfranchised, not all the additional hoops Thompson added.  If inner city blacks had been disenfranchised, Thompson would not have added all those extra requirements, he would have made the law fit.

Judge Peter Thompson Rules Elections with Broken Machines in 60% of Precincts and No Chain of Custody for Ballots Are Free, Fair and Certifiable.  A gutless Arizona judge on Saturday dismissed Kari Lake's election lawsuit against Democrat Katie Hobbs in the stolen 2022 midterm election.  Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson found Kari Lake's lawyers had not proven Maricopa officials committed any kind of misconduct.  Kari Lake will appeal the ruling.

Don't Buy What Democrats Are Selling as Reality.  Under their new pseudo-reality, the Democrats would have us believe that all U.S. elections are free and fair when many are plainly not.  Democrats act as though once an election is complete, it is automatically fair and finished.  They then label anyone contesting election results as a perpetrator of fake news.  The facts are that in the 2020 and 2022 elections, the Democrats ignored or discounted hundreds of sworn and [plausible] affidavits by disenfranchised voters, poll-watchers, and ballot support personnel.  They ignore credible expert testimonies from statistical analysts and auditors who say the chances of Democrats to have won some elections in the way they did are astronomically tiny (unless fraud is factored into the equation).  Regarding election fraud accusations against Democrats, they choose not to prove their innocence, but instead just declare themselves innocent absent proof.  Meanwhile, they fight commonsense election reforms like voter ID and signature verification (and a whole list of others) with every ounce of opposition they can muster.  These denial actions project guilt, not innocence.  Democrats label non-Democrats who doubt election results as election deniers.  The Democrats themselves are obviously election fraud deniers in the face of massive evidence of election malfeasance.

The Arizona Printer Problem.  [Scroll down] Taking the list of ballot IDs not counted at the polling location, and running that list against the ballots accepted and counted at the main tabulation center, this would then validate the number of ballots that had an issue at the polling place being counted.  The final audit check I would perform is to take some samples from this data set, and run them through the machine to confirm the proper tabulation of the ballots.  I.e. hand count 200-300 ballots that you run through the machines and confirm the results.  Optical readers are set pretty precisely, and reading a ballot not printed perfectly could directly impact the ability to read that ballot.  I think it possible with the right technical expertise to properly scope the problem and answer the question — were enough voters impacted by the problem to change the election?  And were all the ballots cast properly counted?  I write this in part because Maricopa County and the Secretary of State seem determined to swear in Katie Hobbs.  Maybe she won the election outright.  But after admitting there was a problem, the courts now owe the good people of Arizona a thorough vetting of the problems, the troubleshooting, and the final counts.

Judge dismisses remainder of Kari Lake's election lawsuit following two-day trial.  An Arizona judge on Saturday ruled against Kari Lake in her challenge of Gov.-elect Katie Hobbs's (D) victory, dismissing the highest-profile case challenging the midterm election results.  Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson following a two-day trial found that Lake had not proven that election officials committed intentional misconduct sufficient to change the race's outcome.  Lake, who lost to Hobbs by about 17,000 votes, had alleged election officials in Maricopa County intentionally sabotaged her victory by causing Election Day printer malfunctions and violating chain of custody procedures.  Lake asked the judge to declare her the rightful winner or order a new election in Maricopa County.  Hobbs will be inaugurated on Jan. 2.

Judge Rules Against Kari Lake in Election Trial, Confirms Hobbs as Governor-Elect.  Maricopa Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson issued a ruling Saturday in the case of Lake v.  Hobbs, ruling against Arizona GOP gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake on the two remaining counts in her lawsuit challenging the results of the election.  As RedState has reported, during the two-day trial it was revealed that a change in printer setting that occurred on Election Day resulted in massive tabulation errors, as the ballots printed with those faulty settings were unable to be read by the machines.  In addition, Lake's team presented the court with evidence of chain-of-custody issues and affidavits from voters who were unable to vote due to the chaos that ensued.

Maricopa County Attorney Argues That Voters Who Wait Until Election Day to Vote Then Encounter Problems Reap What They Sow.  During day 2 of the Kari Lake election trial in Phoenix, Arizona, Maricopa County attorney Tom Liddy argued that it was "political malpractice" for a campaign to tell voters to vote in person on election day instead of voting early, and that "you reap what you sow," meaning that Lake's campaign lost because of strategy, not because of a printer malfunction error that rendered the ballots incapable of being machine read, long lines that led to voters being unable to vote, or other malignantly incompetent actions on behalf of Maricopa County officials.  Now, playing devil's advocate, it may well be that even with all of the malignant incompetence on behalf of the county that Hobbs still won.  However, for a county attorney to excuse all of that away with references to those who want answers as "election deniers" who shouldn't have any expectation of working voting machines on Election Day is reprehensible.

Ballot printer questions in Arizona.  I am pretty technical.  I was surprised that shrink to fit became a talking point at the hearing on Thursday in Maricopa County.  I primarily know of one program that offers a shrink to fit option: Excel.  Shrink to fit is, in my understanding, an application-level setting.  Some copiers have a shrink to fit option, but it takes a literal picture and resizes it.  That process does take some time and computing resources, and that copier is usually on the expensive side of the equation.  What I missed Thursday is where they allege that the shrink to fit option was set.  If they are alleging that it was set in the voting application software, the software should have audit trails for changes, and we should be able to see if that was indeed the case.  If they are alleging that the change was made in the printer, then did anyone check the printer manual to see if that was indeed an option?

Expert in Kari Lake election suit: 'No doubt' she would have won without Maricopa Election Day chaos.  Election modeling expert Richard Baris said Thursday in the Kari Lake election lawsuit that his projections showed as many as 40,000 voters were disenfranchised over Election Day chaos in Arizona's Maricopa County, causing him to "have no doubt" that she would've won the gubernatorial election had there been no problems at polling centers.  Baris is the final witness for Lake in the scheduled two-day trial for her election lawsuit.  Baris testified that 25,000 to 40,000 voters were disenfranchised in the county as a result of roughly one in five vote centers suffering problems with ballot tabulator machines in the first hours of Election Day[.]

Texas 2020 election audit find 'serious issues' in Harris County, 'phantom voters' in Dallas County.  The Texas Secretary of State office has released the final part of its 2020 general election audit for Collin, Dallas, Harris and Tarrant counties, with the most serious issues reportedly occurring in Harris, the state's most populous county.  The report released Monday states Texas voters overall can have a "very high level of confidence in the accuracy of the outcome of Texas elections" when state election code and local procedures are followed.  However, the audit found Dallas County had two large problems including "phantom voters," according to the Epoch Times.  Secretary of State John Scott ordered the full forensic audit last year amid concerns about voter fraud.  It was designed to represent the two largest Democrat-controlled and GOP-controlled counties, Dallas and Harris and Collin and Tarrant, respectively, according to the report.  In Harris County, the problems were severe enough that the Secretary of State's office notified the county of the audit's preliminary findings ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, the 359-page report also shows.

Maricopa County Elections Director Confirms 'Bombshell' Error in Arizona Election That Was Caused ON Election Day.  There was a 'bombshell' revelation divulged in court on Thursday in a lawsuit brought by Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake against Secretary of State and Governor-Elect Katie Hobbs.  Maricopa County Elections Director Scott Jarrett confirmed in court that the ballot printer and tabulation errors that sowed widespread chaos in the Arizona election was caused on Election Day.  [Video clip] [...] Also in Thursday testimony, election modeling expert Richard Baris said that his projections showed as many as 40,000 voters were disenfranchised over Election Day chaos in Arizona's Maricopa County.  Baris said he would "have no doubt" that she would've won the election had there been no issues at polling centers.

Texas 2020 Election Audit Finds 'Very Serious Issues' in Harris County.  Secretary of State John Scott's office has released the final phase of its 2020 general election audit of Collin, Dallas, Harris, and Tarrant Counties.  The audit released on Monday showed the most serious issues occurred in Harris County, followed by Dallas with two large problems, including "phantom voters."  Tarrant County administered a "quality, transparent election" with minor findings, and Collin County "proved to be the model of how to run elections in Texas."  Overall, Texas voters can have a "very high level of confidence in the accuracy of the outcome of Texas elections" when state election code and local procedures are followed, according to a state election audit report.  Scott ordered the full forensic audit last year amid concerns about voter fraud.  To ensure the transparency of the assessment, the 359-page audit represents the two largest Democrat-controlled counties, Dallas and Harris, as well as the two largest Republican-controlled counties, Collin and Tarrant, according to the report.

Kari Lake Expert Witness: Missized Ballots That Caused Election Day Chaos Could Not Have Been An Accident.  On the first day of trial in Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake's election challenge Wednesday, her lawyers focused on the Maricopa County election equipment failures that caused chaos on Election Day and disenfranchised voters.  Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson previously dismissed eight out of the ten claims Lake made in her lawsuit.  In his order allowing Lake's case to go forward, Thompson said that she would have to prove that misconduct occurred, and that it resulted in "identifiable lost votes" affecting the outcome of the election.  Lake's lawyers attempted to make that case with their bombshell revelation that a review of random ballots found that 48 out of 113 (42.5 percent) were "19-inch ballots produced on 20-inch paper," causing them to be rejected.  Clay Parikh, a witness who examined the defective ballots on behalf of the Lake campaign, said someone must have changed the printer configurations.  "These are not a bump against the printer and the settings change," he explained.  "There are security configurations.  I've reviewed the evidence, and the printers are configured via script, which by any large organization that has to do multiple systems is the standard."

House GOP to Investigate Biden's Secretive Order on Voting.  The House's new Republican majority is poised to investigate the Biden administration's secretive, all-of-government effort to get out the vote.  President Joe Biden's executive order of March 2021 calls for every federal agency, in partnership with private organizations, to "consider ways to expand citizens' opportunities to register to vote and to obtain information about, and participate in, the electoral process."  With some exceptions, most federal agencies haven't provided records on implementation of Biden's executive order after requests for public records were made by Congress, news organizations, and government watchdog groups.  In October, the Justice Department invoked "presidential privilege" to shield related documents.  "Our federal agencies should never be utilized for partisan, political purposes," Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Wis., a member of the House Administration Committee, told The Daily Signal in a statement.

The Election Integrity Battle Must Be Won before It Is Fought.  Republicans should have learned that once the votes are cast, it is nearly impossible to litigate fairness.  They did not.  It's fair to say that in spite of all the talk after the 2020 election about fixing election integrity, very little was done that actually improved things.  I must have heard Jenna Ellis bloviating a hundred times about how her Election Integrity Alliance was going to make sure everyone working on integrity was moving forward, getting it done.  Fail.  It's even worse, as the left is now refining its tactics and focusing on taking over the election process for good.  Leftists even enlisted the federal government in registering voters who are unlikely to cast a ballot so they can cast one for them.  Democrats have a long history of fiddling with elections.  Fast-forward to 2022, and we find ourselves with a disappointing outcome, particularly in same five states as in 2020:  Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, and Wisconsin.

Kari Lake's Lawsuit Is Looking Anything but 'Frivolous' Now.  While much of the country is in full holiday "wait until next year" mode, Kari Lake is spending her run-up to Christmas weekend using the legal system to get some answers about what went wrong in Maricopa County on election day.  Last week, I wrote of my admiration for Lake's unwillingness to roll over and play dead for the Democrats and their flying monkeys in the mainstream media.  The lawsuit brought by Lake's legal team was originally dismissed as "frivolous" by an Obama hack judge.  A new judge took it more seriously and some weirdness is being unearthed now.

Judge Allows Case by AZ Republican AG Candidate who "Lost" By 511 Votes to Go to Trial.  Adding to the fight against Arizona's Maricopa County election results, an Arizona judge has ruled that a lawsuit filed by Republican Attorney General Candidate Abraham Hamadeh's lawsuit can go to trial.  Hamadeh, who lost his election to Democrat Kris Mayes by just 511 votes out of 2.5 million, filed a lawsuit in Maricopa County alleging "errors and inaccuracies" at voting locations.  On Election Day, Maricopa saw significant issues at its polling locations including malfunctioning voting machines and improperly printed ballots.

In Elections, It's Not The Votes That Count, It's The Ballots That Count.  Politics may be a blood sport, but frankly, when the stupid party (Republicans) insists on "issues," the evil party (Democrats) quietly laughs.  When you're at war, you must overwhelm the enemy, and that's what Dems do.  With ballots, not votes.  Ballots are the lifeblood of politics, while graft is the mother's milk.  Get enough ballots, and you win.  It's just that simple.  Until the Republican Party understands this, it will always lose, and America can't survive much more losing.  Mail in ballots.  In-person early vote ballots.  Election Day in-person ballots.  Ballots that arrive days after the election is "over."  Those are what get counted, and that's not what should be counted.  The audit of the Maricopa County election in 2020 recounted all those ballots, and came up with... Bupkis.  The machines did a good job of counting ballots.  They couldn't identify bad ballots because that's not what they're built to do.

The Problem With Voting Machine Certification In Arizona.  During the 2020 election, COVID meant many things were ignored or exploited, e.g., voting machines, mass mailing early voting ballots, late suspicious ballot drops, and delays in counting that altered the final count. [...] The DOJ, the FBI, the Dept. of Homeland Security, and others have gone rogue and full Stasi in support of the radical left.  This criminal enterprise aimed to overthrow a duly elected President and undermined his election in 2020.  We must have confidence in our elections and accountability for those involved for our constitutional republic to survive.  We are facing a situation that WWII American soldiers returning to Athens, Tennessee, faced in 1946, only to discover that corrupt local politicians had rigged elections.

Commentary: We watched a New York ballot 'audit.' What we saw was a sham.  New York state election law guarantees that volunteer observers can watch 3 percent of the ballots, selected at random, as they are manually counted and the numbers compared with the official public machine count.  If we can see the ballots and count the votes ourselves, and if the numbers we got agree with the machine count, and if those ballots were truly a random sample, then we can safely and confidently assume that the rest of the ballots were also correctly tallied.  It is called an "audit" and it is the best way to assure the public that the counting is being done honestly.  At least, that is the intent.  The problem is, the audit itself has been corrupted.  It is not working as intended.  The two of us attended the 3 percent audit for Rensselaer County on Nov. 18.  We were treated to a show, not a true audit.  The election commissioner selected the three ballot scanners to be audited using a bingo ball machine.  That part was fine.  We were assured that the machines to be audited were selected at random.  The rest was more or less a case of take-my-word-for-it.

Katie Hobbs Files Emergency Motion To Quash Her Subpoena For Appearance At Kari Lake's Trial — Lawyers Withdraw Hobbs' Subpoena.  Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs has filed an emergency appeal in Kari Lake's historic lawsuit asking the court to reconsider a previously filed Motion to Quash Subpoena for Appearance at Hearing.  Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer and Katie Hobbs filed Motions to Quash their subpoenas earlier this week, alleging that they will be subjected to undue burden or expense.  Hobbs also argued that she "was not served with a subpoena to testify in her personal capacity.  She was subpoenaed to testify at trial in her official capacity as Arizona Secretary of State.  Indeed, she was not personally served with a subpoena, and no one contacted her lawyers in her capacity as Governor-Elect to accept service."  Judge Peter Thompson denied these motions last night.

Not Your Grandfather's Election Day.  Republicans are still recovering from the midterms hangover after suffering a stiff dose of how probabilistic mathematics, statistics, blood-red election maps, armchair predictions, and century-long historical trends are collectively no match for the underhanded ground game of one's opponent.  Giddy Democrats have again put one over on the American people, somehow dodging retribution for a miserable economy and two years of demonizing half the electorate.  Even with majorities in both houses, the Dems faced stiff political and public resistance in their failure to pass H.R. 1, For the Peoples Act, a misnamed Democrat effort to federalize state elections.  Undeterred, state Democrat parties have teamed up with Democrat national campaigns to achieve a permanent, quasi-legal destruction of the election process and institutionalized fraud through the pursuit of early mail-in voting and extended ballot deadlines in states that prohibit or curtail these practices.  This campaign is virtue-signaled through baseless and easily refuted claims of voter suppression, racism, and vintage pandemic concerns.

Kari Lake scores major win as Arizona judge orders trial on election challenge.  Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake's election challenge will head to trial after a judge declined to dismiss her case and allowed the suit to proceed.  Lake announced the development via Twitter, saying "Katie Hobbs attempt to have our case thrown out FAILED.  She will have to take the stand & testify.  Buckle up, America.  This is far from over."  The Arizona Republican lost her gubernatorial bid to Democratic Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, but has since alleged that rampant voting irregularities in Maricopa County prevented many would-be Lake voters from casting their ballots.  Last week a Maricopa County Superior Court judge approved Lake's request to inspect random ballots from the county, both in-person and mail-in, in order to prepare for a potential trial.

Kari Lake's election fraud case WILL go to trial.  Kari Lake on Monday said she was confident of victory when a court finally hears evidence that the election was stacked against her as a judge in Arizona said her voter fraud case will go to trial this week.  Lake lost the race to be Arizona's next governor last month by about 17,000 votes to Democratic candidate Katie Hobbs.  But she has argued ever since that problems with printers and election day protocol cost her the election.

Maricopa County Judge Orders Two-Day Trial in Kari Lake Election Lawsuit.  Arizona Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake's lawsuit against Maricopa County will go to trial, a judge ruled late Monday [12/19/2022].  Lake filed the lawsuit December 9, alleging that "hundreds of thousands of illegal ballots infected" the Nov. 8 election and led to Hobbs being declared the winner, and "contains more than 270 exhibits of evidence."  Lake's suit also relies on expert witness testimony.  [Tweet]  Last week Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson agreed to allow Lake's legal team to "inspect a small number of printed and early ballots from the election, including 50 that were marked 'spoiled' on Election Day."  That inspection has not occurred yet; it is scheduled to begin Tuesday, December 20.

Ballot Harvesting: How Democracies Perish.  Judging from so many disputed elections and the resulting court cases, there is ample evidence to doubt the outcomes of the 2020 and 2022 elections. [...] The Prog victory in 2020, such as it was, rested on the usual ineptitude of many Secretaries of State, the usual failures of the U.S. Post Office, improvements in "flaps and seals" technology, the pandemic-induced flood of mail-in ballots, thousands of unmonitored ballot boxes, the advent of computer software and sophisticated printers capable of producing virtually undetectable counterfeit ballots, the hacking of some voting systems, and most importantly the money to train and hire an army of foot soldiers to pillage unprotected ballot boxes, to go door-to-door, to go to senior centers and nursing homes with offers to "help" homeowners and senior citizens understand complex ballot issues and — here's the key — to allow the harvesters to gain physical possession of millions of ballots.  Some Secretaries of State fail to purge their registered voter database of the dead, of convicted felons, and of those who moved to other States.  In all mail-in ballot States such as Colorado; the all-too-often incompetent U.S. Post Office is given millions of ballots to deliver to a list of addresses that is approximately over twenty percent in error.  Incompetence, however, is not illegal.

Kari Lake says she will take her fight all the way to the Supreme Court.  Kari Lake promised Sunday [12/18/2022] to take her fight all the way to the Supreme Court if her case that is thrown out in a hearing on Monday.  Lake was the Republican nominee for governor in Arizona and has launched legal action to have her defeat overturned or have the election rerun because of problems at polling stations.  'I'm not going to stand down,' she told supporters at a gathering of conservatives in Phoenix.  'These people are corrupt.'

10 Steps to Save America.  Elections are a mess.  The greatest political revolution in our election history has been the change — accelerated under the cover of COVID and the George Floyd riots — in many key states from a 20-30 percent "absentee ballot" vote to 70-80 percent early/mail-in balloting.  In a mere four years we have all but destroyed Election Day voting and Election Night final tabulations as we had known them for decades.  All discussions of voter IDs, fraud, and charges and countercharges of election denialism are irrelevant if there is no real mechanism to validate the authenticity of mail-in ballots that have incomplete or false addresses, names, and signatures, or do not match registration rolls.  Third-party ballot harvesting and ballot curing should be outlawed at the federal level, and we should return to the requirement of requesting absentee ballots rather than automatically sending them out.  Otherwise, no future election will again win the confidence of a majority of Americans.  And without trust in balloting, consensual government becomes nonexistent.

Mohave County Board Of Supervisors to Discuss Litigation Against Maricopa County Following Fraudulent Election.  Mohave County certified the fraudulent election under duress after corrupt Katie Hobbs, who oversaw the disaster of an election as Secretary of State, threatened to jail the County Supervisors.  The issues that occurred in the bellwether for statewide elections, Maricopa County, on Election Day disenfranchised all voters in all other Counties.  On November 8, 2022, more than 50% of the tabulators or printers were not operating on Election Day in Maricopa County.  This caused up to four-hour wait times and voters being turned away from the polls.  Thousands were told they could vote at a different precinct after they signed in, which they couldn't.  And tens of thousands were told to dump their ballot into a bin that would be counted later.

Top Maricopa election offices couldn't reconcile 15k disparity in outstanding votes: internal email.  Recently disclosed internal communications between top election officials in Arizona's Maricopa County in the immediate aftermath of Election Day reveal that they struggled to reconcile a discrepancy of almost 16,000 in outstanding ballot totals.  The governor's race in Arizona was decided by a margin of just over 17,000 votes.  Maricopa County was plagued by numerous issues with ballot machines at many of its vote centers on Election Day, resulting in delays and long lines.

A 16,000-ballot discrepancy in Arizona?  Another chip falls for Kari Lake.  Fresh from a court victory granting her the right to examine a random sample of Arizona's ballots from its skeezy midterm election, Kari Lake has managed to notch another advance in her quest to halt the obviously fraudulent election of her Democrat rival, Katie Hobbs. [...] Obviously, somebody knows the answer as to why there were nearly 16,000 more ballots than estimated ballots to be counted, and they aren't saying anything.  Weeks may pass and they may cook up some explanation, but if this were an honest operation, the answer would be right out there now, with no need for an FOIA query and unanswered calls for explanations to shake it out of them.  Something is going on and those nearly 16,000 ballots need to be explained somehow.  Were they 'ghost' voters from dirty voter rolls where ballots were mailed to errant addresses or vacant lots or nursing homes or group homes for the mentally disabled, as described by Jay Valentine [...]?  Were they stolen ballots?  Were they from some trunk stash of ballots collected with the cooperation of Arizona secretary of state Katie Hobbs who just conveniently for herself was both running for office and in charge of counting the ballots to her own election?  Each and every one of these deets forms the mosaic puzzle that explains a monstrous picture of electoral fraud, which seems to have gone on in Arizona.

Arizona judge approves Kari Lake's requests to examine midterm ballots.  A judge in Maricopa County, Arizona, has approved Republican Kari Lake's requests to inspect some ballots before the trial in her challenge to the Arizona gubernatorial race results.  Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson issued a ruling Thursday that approved three of Lake's four demands for inspecting random ballots from the county.  The three types of ballots Thompson approved Lake's team to review included 50 random "ballot-on-demand" printed ballots that were cast on Election Day, 50 random early ballots cast from "six separate Maricopa County batches," and 50 random ballot-on-demand printed ballots that were marked as spoiled.  Lake's request to inspect 50 random early ballots from ballot envelopes was denied due to state law, per the judge.

Arizona 2022 Midterm Elections and Election Fraud — Ballot Harvesting.  While political polling is an art, statistically rigorous polls are generally within the ballpark — yet Arizona 2022 election results don't make sense.  For those seeking integrity in elections, the Arizona midterm election is a hill worth dying on.  Maricopa County, Arizona, was problematic in the 2020 election.  Maricopa County officials stymied legislative and court oversight.  The Board of Supervisors and others allegedly obstructed Arizona's Senate 2020 election audit: "In every way imaginable, the county refused to cooperate with the Senate's designated auditors, the Cyber Ninjas." [...] According to the Gateway Pundit, Maricopa County had another problem in 2020:  It lacked proof of chain of custody for at least 740,000 ballots.  Why?  What is Maricopa County hiding?  The Kari Lake and Katie Hobbs race for Arizona governor was very close, with Hobbs leading by less than 0.6%.  There are many irregularities, including Hobbs's refusal to recuse herself, even though she was responsible for the election as Secretary of State.  Therefore, a real forensic recount/audit is necessary regardless of what Maricopa County may say.The least of which was that 20% to 30% of the vote tabulation machines failed, forcing people to submit their ballots via "Door 3," which then led to reports that Door 3 ballots were comingled with counted ballots.  However, an election judge reported that the tabulation machines were working the night before.  These machines must be isolated/quarantined.  The log files must be examined before they can be altered.

Election-Fraud Corruption Is Deeper than Anyone Can Imagine.  Multiple polls conclude that upwards of 70 percent of Americans think our elections are filled with fraud.  But we're learning it's deeper and more organized than just a few thousand mules dropping fake ballots into election boxes.  The corruption involves both political parties.  Big Tech manipulates search engine results, and takes down "dangerous" websites.  With Elon Musk's revelations, we now see that our own FBI is working actively with Twitter to censor conservatives and silence dissenting speech.  It's next to certain that Twitter wasn't the only social media giant the FBI was giving orders to.  And the mainstream media are all in on ridiculing, dismissing, or attacking people willing to speak out.  Anyone who floats the idea that the Republican red wave disappeared because of poor GOP tactics, or inadequate candidates, is either stupid or part of this conspiracy.

Wisconsin, Drop Boxes, and the Taint of "Zuck Bucks".  Time has only revealed more evidence of serious irregularities in the 2020 election.  Millions of Americans are asking important questions about the trustworthiness of our elections — and the corrupting influence of professional partisans in them, starting with Wisconsin.  The Badger State was the first to be targeted by COVID-19 "relief grants" from the Center for Technology and Civic Life (CTCL), a sleepy Chicago nonprofit raised to national infamy after Mark Zuckerberg pumped roughly $350 million into the group a few months prior to the 2020 election.  Donald Trump won this battleground in 2016 by just over 27,000 votes — a stunning defeat for Hillary Clinton that Joe Biden's presidential campaign had to reverse to win the presidency in 2020.  Biden ultimately took the state by less than 21,000 votes.

Why Moore v. Harper Terrifies Democrats.  he U.S. Supreme Court finally heard oral arguments in Moore v. Harper last week.  The case involves a mundane constitutional issue concerning the definition of "legislature" as used in the elections clause.  Yet it has produced panic among Democrats and a torrent of portentous predictions about the death of democracy from various leftist law professors.  In the Washington Post, for example, Harvard University's Noah Feldman expressed alarm that the court took up the "insane" case at all.  Is Moore v. Harper really insane?  Of course not.  The case arose early this year when the North Carolina Supreme Court struck down a redistricting map produced by the state Legislature, then replaced it with a redistricting scheme of its own.  The North Carolina General Assembly petitioned SCOTUS for relief on the grounds that this action violated Article I, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution.  Moreover, the petitioners are on solid legal ground, as constitutional lawyers David Rivkin Jr. and Andrew Grossman explain in the Wall Street Journal: [...]

Cooking the Books: Why Republicans Always Come up Short.  Election records begin with the voter registry.  A voter, candidate, election official or a curious person with too much time on their hands can review these.  They are usually available to candidates and political parties; sometimes costing thousands of dollars — sometimes free.  Depends on the state.  Republicans don't understand there are two sets of books.  One set we just noted — election rolls — everyone sees.  The hidden set of books contains the ballot and phantom and address inventory.  These three ingredients win elections.  NGOs, leftist entities like homeless shelters, churches, and other groups sponsor registration drives whose registrants are frequently people of no known address who will depart the area shortly after their registration is complete. [...] We ran the voter registration rolls against church addresses in a dozen states and found thousands of people registered at a church in which it was clear there was no place to sleep.  The leftist objective is not to build an army of homeless and get them into civics; it is rather to create an inventory of identities who never vote.  It's important that they never vote — or if they do, their manager fills in the ballot.

Showdown in Arizona: Will Kari Lake Prevail in Her Election Lawsuit?  The election contest alleges that several separate actions or omissions on the part of elections officials constitute "misconduct" within the meaning of the Arizona statute.  The suit also alleges that multiple categories of illegal votes were erroneously included in the canvass.  Finally, the suit alleges Federal Equal Protection and Due Process violations.  Among the claims made in the suit:  (1) The tabulator and printer errors encountered by Election Day voters in Maricopa County were far more widespread than the county claimed, causing extraordinarily long wait times at vote centers all over the county, resulting in disenfranchisement of in-person voters who favored Lake by a 3-to-1 margin. [...] (2) The tabulators and printers used in Maricopa are claimed to be uncertified in violation of ARS §16-442 (which requires the equipment to be certified and in compliance with the Help America Vote Act of 2002), based on the declaration of cyber-expert Clay Parikh, who spent nine years performing security tests on vendor voting systems for the U.S. Elections Assistance Commission. [...] (3) many of the voters who encountered the tabulator or printer "malfunctions" on Election Day were prompted to place their ballots in "Door 3," which was for uncounted ballots. [...] (4) The Maricopa County elections officials failed to adhere to the signature verification requirements of ARS §16-550 with respect to early ballots. [...] (5) The Maricopa County officials failed to generate and maintain the chain-of-custody (COC) documentation required for drop box votes. [...] (6) The suit further alleges First Amendment violations and conflicts of interest against secretary of state Katie Hobbs and Maricopa official Stephen Richer.

Election integrity volunteers 'afraid' to attend recount after Michigan AG threatens prosecution.  An apparent threat by Michigan's Democrat Attorney General Dana Nessel to arrest and prosecute local activists promoting election integrity and anti-voter fraud efforts caused many of them to steer clear of a contentious monitoring effort out of fear of being targeted by the government, according to a Michigan attorney deeply involved in the situation.  Across Michigan on Wednesday, dozens of counties and hundreds of precincts began a recount for two controversial ballot proposals that were approved by voters on Nov. 8.  The first measure in question is Proposal 2, which establishes early voting, expands access to absentee voting and preempts Republican efforts to enact more stringent voter ID rules.  The other measure is Proposal 3, which enshrines abortion rights in the state's constitution.

Arizona Attorney General Nominee Abe Hamadeh Files Election Contest Lawsuit.  Trump-Endorsed Arizona Attorney General Nominee Abe Hamadeh filed a lawsuit on Friday, contesting the fraudulent Midterm Election in Arizona.  Hamadeh is down by 511 votes out of more than 2.5 million ballots cast in his race, and there is an ongoing recount to determine the winner.  The Gateway Pundit reported on Friday that Kari Lake filed a lawsuit to nullify the election for Governor and approve a full audit of signatures and machine failures.  It was revealed by a Runbeck whistleblower in Lake's filing that hundreds of thousands of ballots did not have any chain of custody documentation.

The terrible consequences of stolen elections and government corruption.  The left cheats; they can't win if they don't cheat so they regularly cheat.  Nothing makes that clearer than the 2022 midterm elections in Arizona, Michigan and Pennsylvania.  Polls show that about sixty percent of the American people believe the 2020 election was stolen; those people are not all Republicans.  Chances are that in their heart of hearts, ninety percent of Americans know it was stolen.  The Democrats steal without shame, as if it's their divine right.  They do it blatantly because they know they can get away with it.  The GOP leadership are spineless pushovers as it happens; Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, Lindsey Graham, Thom Tillis, et al. who gladly do the Democrats' bidding.

Kari Lake Files 70 Page Lawsuit to Throw Out Fraudulent Arizona Midterm Election Results.  Republican Kari Lake on Friday filed a lawsuit to nullify the 2022 midterm election results for the governor's race in the state of Arizona.  On Thursday Trump Attorney Christina Bobb previewed this historic filing.  [Tweet]

Maricopa or Die.  It's been a month since the November elections, and it's obvious that serious irregularities exist in our voting systems.  Unless they are exposed and fixed, our country will have been taken over by our internal and external enemies, and we will never recover.  All of the efforts to fight back against the fraud nationwide have been unsuccessful except for in Maricopa County, Arizona.  Kari Lake, the gubernatorial candidate, is still fighting — filing lawsuit after lawsuit in an effort to overturn the "results" in her campaign, where the current secretary of state in charge of the election, Katie Hobbs, was her opponent.  Hobbs wouldn't recuse herself despite the fact that she would be overseeing her own election.  Unbelievable!  When outrageous election problems caused some counties to withhold their vote certifications, Hobbs threatened them with class 6 felonies.  Not only did Katie Hobbs bully her own county supervisors, but Elon Musk's recent revelations show how she worked with Twitter to silence her critics.  The mainstream media have been working overtime to repress the story and trash the credibility of Kari Lake.  But there are a few brave souls tilting against the windmills of organized propaganda — if you know where to look.

Kari Lake Moves Forward With Lawsuit Challenging "Fraudulent" Election Results.  Just days after Arizona Democrat Secretary of State Katie Hobbs certified all but two contests in the November 8 midterm elections — including her own race for the governor's seat — her Republican opponent, Kari Lake, has filed a second lawsuit challenging the outcome, claiming that thousands of illegal votes cast "far exceed" the 17,117-vote margin of victory for Hobbs.  Lake earlier this week guest-hosted Sebastian Gorka's radio talk show America First, telling listeners, "We have a lot to fix here in Arizona.  And that's why our movement is so powerful."  The former TV anchor has repeatedly called out the mainstream media's slanted coverage of the voting issues on November 8 as the reason why these issues are not known or understood on a national scale: [...]

Philadelphia Man Charged With Postal Crimes Was Also Found With Stolen Mail-In Ballots.  Authorities say a Philadelphia man found with about 15 mail-in ballots that had been stolen from U.S. Postal Service collection boxes faces numerous postal-related charges.  Zachkey James, 27, was charged with impersonation of a U.S. Postal Service (USPS) Mail Carrier, unlawful possession of three USPS arrow keys, mail theft, and possession of stolen mail, U.S. Attorney Jacqueline C. Romero said in a statement.  The arrow key is a universal master key that opens USPS mail boxes and the master door panel for clusters of mail boxes such as those found in apartments.  A July 2022 indictment alleges that while pretending to be a USPS mail carrier, James stole undelivered mail from a collection box near the Kingsessing Post Office in Philadelphia.  In October 2022, while again allegedly pretending to be a mail carrier, James is accused of stealing undelivered mail from a collection box near the East Germantown Post Office in Philadelphia.  And in November 2022, James possessed three arrow keys and approximately 15 mail-in ballots that had been taken from USPS collection boxes, the indictment said.

Yes, the 2020 Election Was Stolen.  For two years, the constant shouting of childish epithets at anyone who would dare question Joe Biden's legitimacy has suppressed a necessary reckoning with an election that was, in every sense, a complete aberration.  It's true Donald Trump and many of his supporters did themselves no favors by embracing some of the more outlandish theories about what happened.  But the story we have been told again and again — that the 2020 election was not only fair, but some miracle of democracy — is propaganda, pure and simple.  Despite the media's heavy-handed narrative, we do not and never will really know what happened in the early morning hours of November 4, 2020, and those chaotic days that preceded Biden's media coronation.  It is disingenuous to dismiss the role of fraud in such an unprecedented scenario:  an election with historic turnout that, thanks to the widespread adoption of an unconventional voting method prone to cheating, was not decided until an unusually dilated, shadowy tabulating process had run its course in a handful of heavily partisan jurisdictions.  If an election so strange had gone the other way, we can be sure the Left would not be mocking voter fraud theories but treating them like orthodoxy.  In the end, Trump lost the Electoral College by about 50,000 votes in a few swing states.  It has never been proven that the election was stolen at the ballot box.  But to anybody not blinded by partisanship, it has never been an implausible question.

The media loves to pretend that the 2020 election was clean.  The media is making a big deal about President Trump's recent expression of frustation at the electoral rigging that went on in the 2020 election. [...] The author knows that the media, including Yahoo!, Google, Facebook, and Twitter, intentionally buried the well-researched article by the New York Post about massive corruption in the Biden family, but they still doesn't want the public to know.  Meanwhile, all of these same entities that buried the truth about the Bidens also interfered in all the elections since 2016 with the intentional lies about Russian collusion to destroy Donald Trump.  The media is excusing their non-reporting on the Biden family corruption by stating that they couldn't verify the story but that is [false].  They repeatedly will parrot or reprint stories from the New York Times, the Washington Post, USA Today, ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR without doing any verification.  They repeat stories that push the leftist agenda and go after Republicans while intentionally hiding the truth about the candidates they support.

Maricopa Mulligan.  I must ask the obvious question:  why was the Arizona Secretary of State, the office responsible for overseeing elections, not forced to recuse herself from overseeing an election where she was running for Governor?  You can bet that if this were a Republican SecState, the leftists would have again been screaming from the rafters.  And then there is the Supervisor of Elections in Maricopa County who was running to be the next Arizona SecState.  Yeah, move along, nothing to see here, just everyday coincidences in the largest voter population county in Arizona.  Why is it, in a State with a Republican-controlled legislature and governor, that all this was allowed to happen?  There is no argument, unconstitutional voter disenfranchisement occurred in Maricopa County, Arizona.  This level of incompetence, or possibly purposeful nefarious actions, resulted in the failure of election systems that should have been Beta tested prior to election day.  Therefore, honest Arizonans looking to cast their ballot were denied.  What happens now?  I do not think it is wrong to say the 2022 midterm election in Maricopa County, Arizona must be redone ... in golf it is called a Mulligan.  If that is not the case, then we have accepted the unconstitutional practice of voter suppression and disenfranchisement in the United States ... meaning there will be more.

More Circumstantial Evidence of Vote Fraud: Arizona's Numbers Don't Add Up.  Florida and Arizona are, respectively, 52.7 percent and 53.2 percent non-Hispanic white, with Latinos comprising more than a quarter of each state's population.  Yes, Hispanics, who traditionally lean Democratic, comprise a larger share (32.3 percent) of Arizona's population than they do of the Sunshine State's (26.8).  On the other hand, black Americans have for decades been more solidly Democratic (90-plus percent) than any group, and they comprise 15.5 percent of Florida's population but only 4.7 percent of Arizona's. [...] DeSantis and Florida's legislators had taken steps to eliminate vote fraud in their state — in particular, the mail-in ballot variety, the kind most prone to fraud.  And now there's yet more circumstantial evidence of vote fraud, another anomaly within the anomaly:  That up-ballot Arizona blue wave was, oddly, accompanied by a down-ballot red wave.  American Thinker's Dennis Lund provided the numbers recently.  Calculating an average of the votes for the four up-ballot races won by Democrats — governor, Senate, attorney general, and secretary of state — informs that the Democrats got 1,285,500 average votes per candidate while the Republicans got an average of 1,219,750, for a differential of 65,750.

President Trump Was Correct About the Constitution and Elections — Kari Lake's Lawsuit Shows Why.  What President Trump is noting, is the exact same reason why Kari Lake's lawsuit, like every other election lawsuit before it, will fail.  Our U.S. Constitution permits election fraud and manipulation, as long as that state level election fraud and manipulation does not break federal law.  [Video clip]

Supreme Court Makes Decision on Dominion Voting Systems Case.  The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to hear a case alleging that Facebook and Dominion Voting Systems had an illegal and undue influence on the 2020 elections.  The court rejected the appeal from eight Americans without comment.  The group was led by Kevin O'Rourke and had lost two previous rounds in court.  In May, U.S. District Court Judge Timothy Tymkovich rejected the suit.  The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals followed suit, leading to the request for the Supreme Court's intervention, according to The Hill.

Interesting SCOTUS case hit the docket: Brunson vs Adams, et al.  Their case hinges on constitutional amendment violations of the right to due process.  When an election has concerns of fraud, constitution allows for a 10 day investigation to look at the potential fraud questions and determine if fraud did or did not occur.  This case is NOT one of election fraud, it is about congress and the senate NOT doing their oath of office and violating Amendment I to the constitution, Article VI of the constitution, the 14th Amendment of the constitution, section 3, the 5th and the 9th Amendment of the constitution, as well as a couple of Utah State Constitution articles.  Most pertain to due process, the right to investigation, and not performing the 10 day investigation when questions of election fraud were presented to congress.  It began in the state of Utah, then transferred to federal court when there were originally 3 defendants listed, Biden and Harris as well as Nancy Pelosi, and then 381 other defendents AND over 100 Jane/John Does to the defendent list.  All are Federal Government members that are named so far.

Extreme Danger: "Boring" Election Issues.  People say to me, "Was the 2020 election stolen?"  Answer, "Yes."  But the hard part is how.  There were three main things that made the difference.  Number one, suspension of the rules.  In other words, because of COVID, the laws we agreed to ahead of time to run an election were suspended.  One of the beautiful things about a democratic republic is you agree on the rules in advance. [...] The second thing that happened, and this is the most important.  Philanthropy, primarily through the Center for Technology and Civic Life, started pouring money through 501(c)3s.  The Mark Zuckerberg-funded C3s, poured money into state and local election offices.  They would give the state and election office money and say, you now need to enact these policies.  In the old days, giving a government official money and telling them what to do with it was called a bribe, right?  It was.  It was a bribe.  If I were to give money to a government official and say, you need to now do this, I would be arrested.  But that is what happened all over the country to the tune of almost $600 million, according to 990 filings.

Democrat Voter Fraud: A Brief History.  The 2004 Washington state gubernatorial contest between Republican Dino Rossi and Democrat Christine Gregoire ended with Rossi up by 261 votes.  A machine recount left him still ahead by 42 votes.  The state Democrats paid over $700,000 for a hand recount, and whaddaya know...  Votes started appearing from any and all conceivable sources.  A bag containing votes here, an electoral official's car there, it's surprising they didn't start falling out of the sky like the frogs in Magnolia.  By the end of the year Gregoire was ahead by 130 votes and was inaugurated on January 12.  Rossi [...] continued fighting, taking Gregoire to court over the blatantly illegitimate votes.  A Pierce County judge tossed the votes out, only to be overruled by the Washington State Supreme Court.  A final decision didn't come for six months, when Judge John Bridges, a Democrat appointee, tossed aside the concept of "chain of custody" to find in favor of Gregoire.  Rossi should have continued on to the U.S. Supreme Court — after all, a critical legal concept was being overthrown — but he does get an E for Effort, since he did more than any other Republican in recent memory.  The Washington case enshrined the concept that all Democratic votes, whether they emerged from a portal into hyperspace or were discovered in a 2000 B.C. Sumerian temple, had to be counted no matter what the circumstances.  GOP votes... not so much.

Twittergate — The Fix Was In.  After years of denial and deplatforming of those who dared question the collusion of Big Tech with Leftist deep state officials to influence the 2020 presidential election and make sure that Donald Trump was not reelected, the facts have been revealed.  Elon Musk on Friday night revealed through Matt Taibbi (who though he is a Leftist seems actually to be a genuine journalist), how Twitter spiked the story of Hunter Biden's laptop and prevent the sordid details of his influence-peddling for The Big Guy to get out to the public, and possibly tip the election in Trump's favor.  Since the revelation, the establishment media and leading Democrats have been in furious damage control mode, insisting that the revelations don't reveal what everyone can see they reveal, and even if they do, they don't matter.  But it's undeniable now:  the fix was in.

That stench from Arizona grows.  It wasn't just Democrat operatives from Biden campaign who were directing Twitter to censor posts unfavorable to Joe Biden's presidential prospects behind closed doors.  Arizona Democrat gubernatorial candidate Katie Hobbs, whose job at the time was sitting secretary of state, also got in on the act. [...] The Post Millennial doesn't mention the topic, but the tweets in question concerned claims by some obscure character with a low follower count that Arizona's electoral system was owned by foreign interests.  Why that was so important at the time is something of a mystery, given the variety of claims out there, but it is known that Chinese involvement in electoral infrastructure did result in an arrest in California shortly after the New York Times reported that the claim was absurd.  That Twitter jumped to the request to make the deletions without verifying whether Hobbs's office was telling the truth is questionable activity right there.

The Left is Using Lawfare Including Threats of Prosecution to Ignore Massive Voter Disenfranchisement.  We are living in an unprecedented era, where the left has now mastered voter disenfranchisement and suppression, largely by controlling the legal system where statutory violations and crimes normally would be stopped.  Instead, the left comes up with excuses to explain away every anomaly, even though the statistical odds of all of them taking place — almost exclusively hurting Republicans — are unbelievable.  Of the 70-plus vote centers in Maricopa County that were plagued by bizarre printing problems affecting people's ability to vote, almost every one was located in an extremely Republican area, averaging more than 300 percent more Republicans than Democrats.

If They Want To Win, Republicans Must Beat Democrats At Their Own Game.  Turns out, perpetually masked Covidians afraid of their own shadows do vote, or at least they can be convinced to turn in their mail-in ballots to Democratic operatives for delivery to the nearest polling place.  You can cry cheating, and many, including Trump, did ad nauseam, but you can't argue with the effectiveness of the strategy.  Use Covid as an excuse to send a mail-in ballot to EVERY voter, then make sure as many ballots as possible that are returned survive any challenges and are counted.  You don't need hacked voting machines to ensure victory if you do that, because we know who is most likely to commit shenanigans on those things during the [...] many points of contact they have before they are actually in official — even honest official — hands.

Arizona Democrat Katie Hobbs certifying her own election in her favor seems like an actual 'threat to democracy'.  It is certainly not a "threat to democracy" when people challenge elections, especially when many state election officials intentionally violate their own state laws.  Speaking of which... Arizona law, A.R.S. § 38.503 dictates that:  ["]Any public officer or employee who has... a substantial interest in any decision of a public agency... shall refrain from participating in any manner as an officer or employee in such decision.["]  Well what's a "public agency"?  Well, per A.R.S. § 38.502, a public agency is, among other things, "[an] administrative body of the state" — and whether intentionally or not, A.R.S. § 38.510 requires that anyone who violates the aforementioned law, "shall forfeit his public office[.]"  [Indeed], now of whom does that remind you?  If it were me, I'd say that Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (a public officer) has a "substantial interest" in the certification of election in which she is a candidate, and the only appropriate, and more importantly, as it appears, legal response to "decisions" ought to be one of recusal.  But I'm no lawyer, so what do I know?

'Twitter Files' Fallout Rains Down On Arizona.  Elon Musk's release of information detailing how Twitter suppressed speech during the 2020 presidential election is only the beginning of the story, according to one Texas congressman.  "Investigations are coming," Republican Rep. Troy Nehls of Texas tweeted Friday [12/2/2022].

Did postal workers steal thousands in campaign donations to Elise Stefanik?  You might have thought you were having trouble with your mailman (or woman) but hopefully, it's nowhere near as bad as what allegedly happened to New York Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik.  In a complaint filed with the Postmaster General, Stefanik's attorneys claim that postal workers ripped open packages destined for her campaign offices during this year's election, stealing as much as $20,000 in campaign donations and exposing hundreds of donors to potential identity theft or fraud.  Photographic evidence of the destroyed packages was provided, but the USPS doesn't seem to have made any progress in tracking down the thieves.

Katie Hobbs' Office Threatened County Board With Arrest, Felony Indictment If They Didn't Certify Results.  Democratic Arizona Secretary of State and Gov.-elect Katie Hobbs' top deputy threatened the Mohave County Board of Supervisors with prosecution if it didn't certify her election results before a Monday deadline, according to emails and documents reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation.  Arizona State Elections Director Kori Lorick wrote several letters and emails to members of the board, warning them of criminal charges if the refused to certify the results in time.  The letters included threats of lawsuits against the members for "nonfeasance," as well, per the emails.

Deposition Reveals Complex Plot by the FBI to Influence the 2020 Election.  The 2020 election remains one of the most contentious in history, and the more we learn about how deep the government's interference went, the more disturbing things get.  According to Eric Schmitt, the current attorney general of Missouri and its newly-elected senator, the FBI was having weekly meetings with social media companies prior to election day in 2020 to collude on suppressing information.  That was revealed in the deposition of Elvis Chan, the FBI's liaison in the scheme.  [Tweets]  According to Schmitt, the FBI was colluding with social media companies, giving them specific direction on what content to suppress.  That means specific URLs and accounts.  The social media companies, all led by leftwing hacks at that point, were apparently more than happy to play along. [...] In this case, the FBI was running a complex scheme, colluding with social media companies to target specific accounts and news stories, with seemingly all of the moves made being politically beneficial to Democrats.  In doing so, they shut down a verifiably true story about Hunter Biden's laptop that could have swung the entire election.  The suppression of information regarding COVID-19 just so happened to help Democrats as well.

Advice for Kari, Blake, and Mark.  It appears that Democrat candidates won most of the Arizona midterm political contests, and that is a fact we should all accept.  However, many citizens have doubts about whether it was fairly counted, and those doubts will not be resolved without analysis, testing, and transparent reporting.  Standard ballot recounts will not suffice. [...] If there was fraud in this election, it won't be detected by a simple recount.  A real audit should be designed to determine the validity of the ballots that were cast.  Until we restore election integrity by requiring hard forms of identification to accompany all mail-in ballots (not just signatures), post-election auditing will have to be expanded and strengthened.  There will be much opposition to these audit procedures, and some may be blocked; however, it is essential.  Without it, the public will be skeptical of election results, and with very good reason.

Ohioans Vote In Favor of Banning Non-Citizens From Voting In Local Elections.  Ohio Republicans are seeking for Ohio to become the seventh state to ban noncitizens from voting in elections.  On November 8th Ohioans voted on Issue 2 which was an amendment to the state's constitution that would no longer allow noncitizens to vote in local elections in Ohio.  Over 3 million Ohioans voted against noncitizens from voting in local elections whereas 900,000 voted in favor of noncitizens voting in US local elections.

Secretary of State's Office confirms it has received Cochise County certification.  Compelled by a court order, the Cochise County Board of Supervisors certified the results of the Nov. 8 election Thursday on a 2-0 vote.  The vote means all Arizona counties have agreed to send their results to the Secretary of State's Office and ends a weekslong election drama spooling out of the southeastern Arizona county.  The board's two Republican supervisors since October have raised doubts about the reliability of vote tabulation machines.  Their actions resulted in a series of losing court battles, the most recent coming Thursday, when a judge ordered them to canvass the election results and get the results to the Arizona secretary of state by 5 p.m.  The Secretary of State's Office confirmed Thursday evening that it had received the Cochise certification, which will allow it to proceed with the statewide canvass, scheduled for 10 a.m.  Monday.

Poll Worker Turned Whistleblower Exposes 84% Of Maricopa County, AZ Poll Workers Think the Election was Rigged.  How many more elections are people going to let Democrats flat out steal before people finally rise up and take back their state legislators and arrest the criminals behind it all? [...] Anyone who believes Democrats won this past election or the 2020 election need to have their heads examined.  [Video clip]

Apparently, No Lawyer Wants to Defend Cochise County's Refusal to Certify Election Results.  The increasing ridiculousness of the stance of the supervisors in Cochise County, Ariz., appears to be another hard lesson of, "Don't elect lunatics to positions of serious public responsibility": [...] When no lawyer wants to take your case, that's probably a sign that you've stumbled into a position that is exceptionally difficult to defend in a court of law.  If you are a Republican officeholder, you enjoy the same First Amendment rights as anyone else and have every right to publicly argue that the Arizona election had too many problems to be legitimate.  You would be wrong on the facts, as Maricopa County's elections department — and county lawyer Rachel Mitchell — have declared, repeatedly, that "every voter was afforded the ability to legally and securely cast their ballot," despite the problems with the printers printing too lightly to be scanned.  Every ballot was legible to the naked eye; it was simply a matter of whether those ballots could be tabulated in the machine at the polling place.

Election lawsuits pile up in Arizona, as counties, candidates challenge 2022 midterms.  As the 2022 midterm election is nearing certification in Arizona, lawsuits and court rulings are piling up amid continuing revelations of myriad failures in the administration of the election in Maricopa County.  After Maricopa experienced a host of problems on Election Day at many of its vote centers, one county subsequently chose not to certify its election by the Monday deadline, while another county certified "under duress," according to two supervisors on the county board.  The Mohave County Board of Supervisors received an email from Secretary of State Katie Hobbs' office on Monday saying that they could face felony charges if they didn't certify the election that day.

Democrat Katie Hobbs Demanded Mohave County Certify Election Results for Her or Face 2 Years in Prison.  According to a bombshell new report by the Daily Caller, Democratic governor-elect of Arizona, Katie Hobbs' top deputy sent a shocking threat to the Mohave County Board of Supervisors, demanding that they certify election results in her favor or else be met with prison time.  Arizona State Elections Director Kori Lorick sent multiple threatening letters, saying they would face lawsuits and prison if the election results were not certified.  "The Secretary of State did contact our County and cited A.R.S. Section 16-1010 as a statute that could be used to prosecute [the board] if they did not certify the election," said Mohave County Attorney Matt Smith, the Mohave County Attorney.  The cited statute is a Class 6 felony that could result in two years in prison.

PA County Cements Suppression Of 'Thousands' Of Voters By Flip-Flopping To Certify Disaster-Plagued Election.  After refusing to certify its general election results due to widespread failures that potentially disenfranchised voters, the board of elections for Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, has flip-flopped and voted to certify its election results anyway — after pressure from a lawsuit by known Democrat election meddler Marc Elias.  This past Monday, Luzerne's board of elections voted against certifying its results from the Nov. 8 election after voters experienced significant problems casting their ballots.  About a third of Luzerne's precincts were out of ballot paper as early as 9 a.m. and turning away voters for several hours, according to election observers affiliated with the Committee on House Administration, a U.S. congressional committee that helps oversee elections.  As a result, thousands of Luzerne County residents were affected and likely did not cast ballots.

Katie Hobbs' Office Threatened County Board With Arrest, Indictment If They Didn't Certify Results.  Democratic Arizona Secretary of State and Gov.-elect Katie Hobbs' top deputy threatened the Mohave County Board of Supervisors with prosecution if it didn't certify her election results before a Monday deadline, according to emails and documents reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation.  Arizona State Elections Director Kori Lorick wrote several letters and emails to members of the board, warning them of criminal charges if the refused to certify the results in time.  The letters included threats of lawsuits against the members for "nonfeasance," as well, per the emails. "The Secretary of State did contact our County and cited A.R.S. Section 16-1010 as a statute that could be used to prosecute [the board] if they did not certify the election," said Matt Smith, the Mohave County Attorney, to the DCNF.  The statute is an Arizona felony statute regarding election officials who "fail to perform their duties" under the law; as a Class 6 felony, upon conviction, it could result in up to two years' imprisonment.

Pennsylvania's Delaware County, Pennsylvania, is the undisputed leader in ballot harvesting.  [Thread reader]  Nearly [two thirds] of all Democratic Mail-In Ballot Applications happen in the Spring.  That's because counties are statutorily required to mail the prior year's Mail-In Ballot Applicants if they wish to re-enroll for the current year.  Essentially, Democratic campaigns "chase" those county mailers with digital ads, texts, robocalls or even their own mailer to get Democratic voters to re-enroll for a Mail-In Ballot.  Democratic campaigns leverage taxpayer-funded mailers to do most of their ballot harvesting and save money.

Here's How They Did it: Real-time Election Fraud.  Database latency — a geeky term, but that's how they did it! [...] County election managers change the zip code of 31,000 voters on September 3.  Ballots go out that week.  Those 31,000 are undeliverable.  Someone collects those valid ballots.  On September 15th, those addresses are quietly changed back.  National Change of Address Database (NCOA) will not pick up those address changes.  They didn't happen because there is no history.  The 31,000 citizens were getting their mail just fine — except for ballots.  Ballot addresses were driven by the county mail-in ballot database — the one that was changed, then changed back.  Many states send ballots to everyone; the recipient is none the wiser that they never received a mail-in ballot.  They may vote in person.  Oops!  "You already voted!"  Ever heard that?  Welcome to database latency.  Our bad guy pals know they can change voter rolls, take an action, then change them back.  Who would know?  A thousand voters are changed from inactive, voted, then changed back, and how would you ever know?  With lots of complex footwork, you could eventually tell from their voter history file — months after the election.

Citizenship and Intervening in Elections.  With the ongoing invasion over the last two years by millions of foreigners at our southern border, America has a much bigger election integrity problem than before Joe Biden became president.  So, just how did California, Arizona, New Mexico and other states with large enclaves of illegal aliens ensure that the recent invaders (as well as the millions of previous invaders from decades past) didn't vote in the November 8 federal elections?  You see, noncitizen voting in federal elections is illegal.  But Democrats seem to see nothing wrong with the invasion.  Indeed, the Left wants illegal aliens to be able to vote in America's elections; see "Why Non-Citizens Should Be Allowed to Vote" by Ron Hayduk at Jacobin.  (Americans who believe in the ideal of citizenship won't approve of Mr. Hayduk.)  However, if anyone can vote in America's elections, then just what is the value of American citizenship?  Given all the freebies the feds are handing out to the invaders, some citizens may see the invaders as having more rights than they have.

Election Predictions and Other Mistakes.  [Scroll down] Beyond the lies, there were also possible Democrat shenanigans.  For example, in Maricopa County, Arizona, ballots were not printed dark enough to be read by tabulation machines.  This reportedly caused problems at 70 out of 223 voting centers, or roughly 31%.  A second report claimed that the number of voting centers affected by printer/tabulator problems was almost 63%, accompanied by long lines at most voting centers.  Was this a simple mistake?  The voting system was tested before Election Day as required by state law.  However, Republican Party chair Mickie Niland said pre-election testing of the printer/tabulator system had been largely ceremonial and insufficiently broad to catch the printer problem. [...] Many of our present election problems began during the run-up to the 2020 vote.  Some states altered election requirements under cover of COVID-19.  Universal mail-in balloting was allowed in some places, and early voting was extended in others.  In some cases, ballot-harvesting was allowed, and rules for signature-matching for mail-in ballots were relaxed in others.  Judges or state election commissions made some of these changes in violation of established election laws.  Why are these changes significant?  Mail-in balloting and early voting favor Democrats because turnout is often a problem for them.  If you give every registered Democrat a ballot, maybe fill out a few ballots for the deceased and those in nursing homes, and give them lots of time to get those ballots submitted, you solve the turnout problem.

The New Voting System that Gave Democrats a GOP House Seat is Dangerous.  Alaska's sole congressional seat, which had been in GOP hands for 49 years, was recently captured by Democrat Mary Peltola.  The victory has been touted by liberals as either vindication of their agenda or as portending the end of the career of Sarah Palin, Peltola's most high-profile opponent.  Yet the result, which took weeks to finalize, was easily explainable:  It was a function of Alaska's new ranked-choice voting (RCV) and Top-four Primary (TFP) system — a system electoral engineers would like to institute nationwide.  In essence, this system created a situation in which Palin and another Republican, Nick Begich, were both running against Peltola in the general election and divided up the GOP vote.

Is this the Supreme Court case that will drain the swamp?  Loy, Raland, Deron, and Gaynor Brunson all witnessed what they believed to be the theft of the 2020 election and decided to file suit.  However, the interesting approach that they have taken is not to make a formal complaint that the election was stolen; instead, they have chosen to sue members of the U.S. Congress who voted not to investigate whether any election irregularities may have occurred that could have affected the outcome.  In other words, the Brunson Brothers were motivated to sue because these elected officials broke their oaths to protect the Constitution of the United States.  The Brunson Brothers believed that, to support and defend the Constitution, an investigation into possible fraud needed to take place.  Otherwise, how could anyone know with certainty whether the election had been secure?  What shocked the Brunson Brothers was that only 147 members of the US Congress voted in support of the proposed ten-day audit of the election before certifying the ballot count of the Electoral College, while, according to the Washington Post, 377 members voted against the proposed ten-day investigation, and eight abstained.

Arizona County Chair Reveals He Was Forced to Certify Katie Hobbs' Election 'Under Duress'.  The Chair of the Mohave County Board of Supervisors stated earlier that he was only voting to certify the state election under legal duress.  "I found out today that I have no choice but to vote 'Aye' or I will be arrested and charged with a felony," Gould said.  The Arizona Secretary of State has threatened to charge election officials with Class 6 felony charges if they don't certify her election.  Secretary of State Katie Hobbs has filed a lawsuit against Cochise County, which refused to certify the Arizona state election by the Nov. 28 deadline.

Republicans in Arizona county refuse to certify 2022 election.  Republican officials in one Arizona county said Monday they will not certify the 2022 election results that have Democrats winning races for governor, US Senate and other statewide offices — setting up a showdown with the Democratic secretary of state and governor-elect, who vowed to sue if the deadline was missed.  Two Republican members of the Cochise County Board of Supervisors voted to delay certifying the results amid claims that the county's voting machines weren't properly accredited — even though state election officials have said they have provided proof that they are.  "In that group's opinion, the secretary [of state] has not been responsive in providing proof of lawful accreditation of voting machine laboratories," GOP Supervisor Tom Crosby said.

Arizona county voted to certify election "under duress".  The 2022 midterm "election that never ends" in Arizona is still managing to stir up controversies even after the deadline for certifying the election passed yesterday.  Maricopa County remains the focus of attention for much of the current clown show.  They somehow certified their election results last night, though court challenges are still playing out.  But other counties have been witnessing additional drama as well.  Mohave County, located in the northwestern corner of the state, is far less densely populated than Maricopa, but their Board of Supervisors raised eyebrows last night when two of the members voted to certify the election results, but only did so "under duress" after they were threatened with jail time if they failed to vote "aye" during the roll call.  One of the members raised the obvious question of why they should bother to have a vote if the decision to certify is mandatory.

Arizona county board supervisors say they voted to certify election 'under duress'.  Two members of Arizona's Mohave County Board of Supervisors said Monday voted to certify the results of the Nov. 8 elections "under duress," claiming he was forced to do so under threat of jail time.  "I vote 'aye' under duress.  I found out today that I have no choice but to vote 'Aye' or I will be arrested and charged with a felony," Gould said while casting his vote.  "I don't think that that is what the founders had in mind when they used the democratic process to elect our leaders." [...] Arizona has been mired in allegations of electoral fraud since the 2020 presidential election, when President Joe Biden narrowly edged out former President Donald Trump and the state became a focal point for his narrative that mass ballot fraud altered the final result.

Recording Shows Warnock Campaign Calling Out-of-State Residents for Votes.  The Georgia runoff election is quickly approaching, with Herschel Walker and Raphael Warnock battling it out for the last undecided, US Senate seat of the cycle.  Naturally, that means electioneering is in full swing.  Warnock has famously received a metric ton of out-of-state cash, and now, he's apparently contacting out-of-state voters to vote for him.  Yeah, I'm as confused as you are.  Dom Lucre, who is a resident of Tennessee and hasn't lived in Georgia in years, was called by the Warnock campaign, and he recorded the entire exchange.  Here's what it sounded like.  [Tweet]

How Will Anyone Trust The Georgia Runoff Results When There's Enough Illegal Voting To Tip The Scales?  Initial data from the November 2022 general election indicates more than 25,000 Georgians may have voted illegally in the general election.  And the problem appears poised to repeat itself when voters cast their ballots in the state's runoff election for senator on Dec. 6, 2022.  Absent a win by a substantial margin by either Republican challenger Herschel Walker or Democrat incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock, litigation, with the potential ordering of a new election, seems likely — a scenario that would have proved disastrous to the country had control of the Senate remained in play.  In a complaint filed earlier this month with the Georgia State Board of Elections, Mark Davis, an expert in voter data analytics and residency issues, alerted the state to data indicating that in both November 2020 and November 2022, thousands of Georgians may have voted illegally by moving but then, rather than re-registering to vote as required by the state's election code, casting ballots in the county in which they no longer resided.  Davis's complaint noted that due to space constraints, he was providing his supporting data in a detailed letter to State Board of Elections member Ed Lindsey.

Maricopa County Response to Arizona AG Materially Conflicts with Instructions on Election Day.  Maricopa County sent a haughty letter to Assistant Attorney General Jennifer Wright in response to her office demanding answers regarding voter suppression on Election Day.  The Gateway Pundit reported on the serious issues in Maricopa County's General Election on November 8.  Due to the incompetence of Maricopa County and Katie Hobbs, tabulators were down, printers ran out of ink, and long, long lines kept Republican voters waiting to cast their ballots.  Republican voters were told to drop their ballots into "box 3" to be counted later.  Election experts and election workers later reported that these uncounted ballots were mixed with already counted ballots, leaving no way of knowing if all legal votes were counted!  Republicans had at least 72% of the turnout on election day, and this was a deliberate attempt to silence the largest County's Republican voters.

Two House Races Still Wait For Final Results More Than Two Weeks After Midterms.  Seventeen days since voters went to the polls to cast their ballots in the midterm elections, two U.S. House races remain undeclared.  Republican John Duarte leads by fewer than 600 votes in California's 13th district against Democrat Adam Gray with 99% of the votes in, according to the Associated Press.  In Colorado, incumbent Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert declared victory after her Democratic opponent Adam Frisch conceded last week, but only 550 votes sit between them, triggering a recount and more delayed results.  Both races that are holding up the final results of a tumultuous midterm election season sit in blue states with lax rules on mail-in ballots, marking a stark contrast between the laws that allow for quick results from some Republican-led states.

The Uniparty, FTX, and Electoral Fraud.  Our country may be nearing the conclusion of the most dangerous game of political "chicken" in history.  We have just experienced the second great election steal in two years.  Will the Uni-Party of Democrats and RINOs succeed in evaporating the Red Wave?  RINO politicians and media are complaining that conservatives were too lazy to vote in November, but Republicans, independents and even Democrats turned out in such huge numbers that the cheating had to be so blatant that it is now impossible to overlook.  The "big four" shows on FOX, normally famous for exposing Democrat stupidity and corruption, could have focused on the fraud in a different city or state for each segment since the election, but instead have prattled on about every shiny object except 2022 fraud.  Will corrupt legislators, governors, and politicians succeed in quashing the protests and legal challenges?  A series of developments is providing hope that the entire web of deceit, manipulation, and corruption may soon be unraveled.  People all over the world are figuring out what is going on with tainted elections and are protesting.

No-Spot Dice and Modern Elections.  For a long time now, but especially in 2020 and 2022, American elections have been compromised by vote fraud.  New York's Tammany Hall was the most famous example in the 1800s.  Everyone knew that LBJ stole his first congressional seat in Texas with Ballot Box 13.  It's been so well accepted that Chicago vote fraud put John F. Kennedy over the top in 1960 that politicians, including JFK himself, have joked about it for generations.  So, Democrat vote fraud in America is nothing new.  It's been so deeply factored into American politics that every Republican candidate, in planning his campaign and reviewing his polling, asks not the question "can we win?" but rather, "can we overcome the margin of fraud?"  Three things have changed in recent years.  First, the universal knowledge that vote fraud was baked into the system has suddenly become an unspeakable statement.  Acknowledge its existence and you're called an "election denier."  You must join the establishment in parroting the pretense that "there is no vote fraud at all," or you are cancelled.  Second, Democrats have become more and more blatant about it.  If we were told that Republicans lost cities like Chicago, Cleveland, and New York by margins of four to one, or even five to one, we began to believe that such wipeouts might indeed be possible.  It probably never was.

Voter Suppression?  Average Wait Time To Vote In Georgia Is Two Minutes.  Georgia polls have an average wait time of two minutes per voter across the entire state according the Georgia Secretary of State's office, WABE News reporter Rahul Bali reported Tuesday [11/8/2022].  Bali reported that the polls had maintained a two-minute wait time, and pointed to results as early as 7 p.m. EST, despite claims that Georgia's voter laws are "suppressive."  In past elections, Georgia voters have reported voter suppression after waiting in long lines, but early voting and an updated voter information page seem to have brought wait times down.  When early voting opened for Georgia in October, record turnouts were reported with 434,567 Georgians casting their vote; however, Democratic challenger Stacey Abrams continued to criticize Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, claiming he was working to suppress voters.  "It does not mean voter suppression doesn't exist," Abrams said during a rally.  "But we're stronger, better, and faster than it."

California Still Has More Than 250,000 Uncounted Ballots.  While Arizona's handling of the midterm election has been the focus of media outlets and pundits for some time, California still has more than 250,000 uncounted ballots across the state.  It's been more than two weeks since America voted in the 2022 midterms, yet the largest state in the country is still counting ballots.  The vast majority of the uncounted ballots are from people who voted by mail, with Sacramento County failing to count a whopping 84,000 mail-in ballots. [...] The remaining ballots represent a tiny fraction of the total votes cast in the Golden State in 2022, but it's prompted some to ask what is taking so long.  The answer is simple:  In 2020, during the pandemic, California, along with other states, began mailing ballots to all registered voters.  The practice became permanent in 2021, CNN reported, and ballots postmarked on or before Election Day must be accepted for up to seven days after the polls close.

Surprised by the Midterm Election Results?  Take a Look at the Data.  It is just a theory, but I believe that aggressive ballot-harvesting is the most likely explanation for the disparity between pollster predictions and actual results in the 2022 midterm elections.  In the movie, 2,000 Mules, True the Vote (TTV), the organization run by Catharine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips, described the prevalence of ballot-harvesting in the 2020 election.  Although its estimates are only rough approximations (based on cell phone analysis), TTV believes there were up to 200,000 and 275,000 harvested ballots in Arizona and Pennsylvania, respectively.  Nevada was not included in the TTV analysis, but since the end of 2020, Nevada has taken all restrictions off of harvesting.  It is now legal to harvest ballots in Nevada, and it can be done anonymously in any quantity with ballots from unregistered homeless people, drug addicts — anyone.

Hard Truths and Radical Possibilities.  Mollie Hemingway showed in her excellent book, Rigged, that the technically legal though unscrupulous maneuvers undertaken by the Left — including legacy and social media propaganda and censorship, last-minute changes to election laws, and private money poured into partisan "voter education" efforts — were more than enough to alter the outcome of the 2020 election.  This new reality became even clearer this month.  The highly manipulative practice of ballot harvesting — which reached new lows of cynicism in the recent midterms — makes a mockery of elections as an expression of popular deliberation and rational will.  As Daniel Greenfield has written, the Democrats didn't beat back the red wave because the voters chose them; they won by choosing their voters.  It is hard to see how elections under these circumstances are substantially different from the artificial voting rituals practiced by the "people's republics," i.e., communist regimes of the 20th century.

VoterGA Announced Yesterday that It is Suing Certain Counties in Georgia.  Garland Favorito and VoterGA held a press conference yesterday [11/22/2022] where they announced that they were suing three counties in Georgia to prevent them from destroying ballots from the 2020 Election.  VoterGA shared its press release from yesterday where the team is demanding from the court that certain counties in Georgia retain their paper ballots from the 2020 Election.  These same counties destroyed their electronic ballots, which is against the law during the period that the law stipulates they be maintained.

Anatomy of the 2022 Steal, Part 2.  Delaware County was in court for 9 hours Monday [11/21/2022] on a chain of custody issue.  The thumb drives and votes disappeared into a closed building for six hours and no official poll watchers were allowed in.  In Arizona, there is so much evidence of fraud, three of Arizona's 15 counties have delayed certification. [...] In almost every township or county, the people who run elections are funded by those men (generally) who provide county services.  It is absolutely critical to them that their gravy train continue.  Stenstrom and Hoopes describe the pattern in Delaware County, Penn.  It is a "very tight-knit collaboration between the Uniparty and variously {sic} business interests that include closely held law firms, family accounting firms, local and county law enforcement departments that might be cooperative, local justice departments, and members of the judiciary.  All of whom work together when it suits them, and any other personage with a substantial financial interest in creating an integrated political, law enforcement, and justice environment that will be favorable to them in myriad legal and financial transactions between elections.  It is within this corporate fabric that the machinations of election fraud are perpetrated."  In essence, The Machine consists of everyone who profits off the contracts and public money given out by the politicians who win.  The Machine is a malignant co-operative, a unified malevolence.  It consists of the men and some women in the community who sit on your county council or work for the Board of Elections.  They are criminals involved in a criminal conspiracy.  This is why, despite the 2020 mess in Maricopa, the same election officials were "reelected".  They are not elected, they are installed.

Arizona Attorney General Nominee Abe Hamadeh Files First Lawsuit Contesting Rigged 2022 Election In Arizona.  Arizona Attorney General Nominee Abe Hamadeh has filed the state's first statement of election contest in the Arizona Superior Court.  Abe Hamadeh currently trails radical left Democrat Kris Mayes by just 510 votes, and there is expected to be a recount.  However, the Arizona election was an uncertifiable mess due to voters having their ballots stolen, not counted, or being prevented from voting altogether.  The Gateway Pundit reported on the serious issues in Maricopa County's General Election on November 8.  Due to the incompetence of Maricopa County and Katie Hobbs, tabulators were down, printers ran out of ink, and long, long lines kept Republican voters waiting to cast their ballots.  Republican voters were told to drop their ballots into a separate container called box 3 to be counted later.  Election experts and election workers later reported that these uncounted ballots were mixed with already counted ballots, leaving no way of knowing if all legal votes were counted!

Arizona AG Demands Maricopa Officials Answer For Reportedly Mixing Counted And Uncounted Ballots.  Arizona ballots that couldn't be counted due to broken machines were mingled in some locations with already tabulated ballots, according to the Elections Integrity Unit of Arizona's attorney general's office.  State officials listed numerous ways Maricopa County, Arizona, election officials failed to properly segregate, count, tabulate, tally, and transport ballots during the midterm 2022 elections, which likely resulted in significant disenfranchisement of Election Day voters.  In a letter sent to the Maricopa County Attorney's Office by Assistant Attorney General Jennifer Wright, the Elections Integrity Unit of Arizona's attorney general's office notified the county that they had "received hundreds of complaints since Election Day pertaining to issues related to the administration of the 2022 General Election" and as a result, are demanding Maricopa County election officials provide answers for the chaos, confusion, and mismanagement of the voting process in a report to be submitted on or before Nov. 28, when Maricopa must send its official canvass to the secretary of state for certification.

Patriots In Arizona Plan Huge Protest In Front Of AZ Capitol This Weekend.  Patriots in Arizona demanding a redo of the 2022 general election have organized a protest near the Arizona Capitol this Friday at 9 am and through the weekend before counties canvass the results.  The protest will include a peaceful gathering and opportunities to hold signs and banners on highways across the state.  The Arizona election was an uncertifiable mess due to voters having their ballots stolen, not counted, or being prevented from voting altogether.  The Gateway Pundit reported on the serious issues in Maricopa County's General Election on November 8.  Due to the incompetence of Maricopa County and Katie Hobbs, tabulators were down, printers ran out of ink, and long, long lines kept Republican voters waiting to cast their ballots.

Arizona AG Opens Inquiry into Maricopa County Election Irregularities, Possible Legal Violations.  The Arizona attorney general's office has opened an inquiry into Maricopa County's handling of the mid-term elections, demanding a full report of well-publicized irregularities and warning there is evidence of "statutory violations."  The letter from Attorney General Mark Brnovich's election integrity unit marks a major escalation in the dispute over how voters were treated on Election Day in the state's largest county, where scores of ballot tabulators had problems because of printing problems.  The problems have delayed the declaration of a winner in the razor-thin state attorney general's race and led GOP gubernatorial candidate KariLake to question as premature the media's declaration that her opponent, Democrat Katie Hobbs, won that race.

Elections for dummies.  It is clear that Americans consider it very important to vote in order to be an upstanding member of society.  Less certain, though, is whether our voting system is on the up and up.  With each passing election, evidence mounts that the U.S. electoral process is flawed, and voters are not supposed to notice.  It's elections for dummies — but without one of those yellow guidebooks to explain it all.  A recent Pew Research Center survey finds that 69% of U.S. adults consider voting a civic duty.  Only 46% of eligible voters, however, actually bothered to cast a ballot in the 2022 midterms, according to statistics gathered by The Associated Press and the U.S. Elections Project.  As the world's oldest continuous democracy, the United States should be a natural leader in voter turnout.  It is not.  Rather, the U.S. ranks 31st among 50 nations surveyed — between Colombia and Greece — according to Pew.

Understanding Why This Arizona County Still Has Election Problems.  On Election Day, Cathi Herrod received calls and emails about problems in Arizona's Maricopa County about voting machines not accepting ballots, ballot tabulators being broken, and other questions regarding paper ballots.  "Voters are skittish in Maricopa County about election integrity," Herrod, president of the Center for Arizona Policy, a conservative think tank, told The Daily Signal in a phone interview Thursday.  "People wonder why it is that Florida is so quick to count votes and it takes Arizona days."  For the second consecutive election cycle, Maricopa County is in the national spotlight for problems during and after the voting.

Have the Democrats Destroyed Our Election System?  Do you get the feeling that you've been had?  That terrible sick-in-your-stomach sensation when scam artists laugh and you realize they've done it again?  When all of our hopes for the conservation of liberty have been destroyed by the same type of schemes that we all should have seen coming a mile away?  How does a party trying to destroy our constitutional republic for two years with poll after poll screaming that we are on the wrong track avoid a humiliating defeat at the ballot box?  How does a party steeped in the worst aspects of fascism and socialism in a collectivist witch's brew even have a chance after everyone has seen what they are at their core?  What did they offer?  More of the same only worse, and we were supposed to believe Gen Z and everyone else couldn't wait to get all their ballots in?

Alabama Withdraws From Democrat Operative-Controlled Voter Registration Database.  Alabama's Secretary of State-elect Wes Allen has announced that he will withdraw the state from the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC), a voter-roll management system with politically compromised ties.  "I made a promise that I would withdraw Alabama from ERIC and I am keeping that promise," Allen said in a statement.  "I have informed them, via certified letter, that upon my inauguration on January 16, 2023, Alabama will immediately and permanently cease to transmit any information regarding any citizen in the State of Alabama to their organization and that we will no longer participate in any aspect of the ERIC program."

Voters Aren't Choosing Dems, Dems Are Choosing Voters.  Democrats began by choosing a new electorate, one that was strategically defined by Senator Ted Kennedy and others as being more demographically friendly to its political machines.  Into the urban political machines that had begun to lose their old immigrant bases as the Irish, Italian and Jewish immigrants that had sustained them moved on to the suburbs, mass migration poured in a new electorate that would be more pliable and obedient to the party.  The combination of open borders and third world mass migration reshaped the political landscape.  Cities, always prominent, became the 800-pound gorillas of politics, turning entire states in their direction.  The nation's demographics changed as rapidly as its politics did.  But that was only the first step.  The second step, now well underway, was reshaping the structure of elections to allow Democrats to find the voters, instead of the voters finding them.

Arizona attorney general wants report on voting machine problems.  Arizona Republican Attorney General Mark Brnovich's office has demanded that Maricopa County officials provide a report on the voting machine problems that caused some delays in the battleground state during this month's midterm elections.  A letter dated Saturday by Assistant Attorney General Jennifer Wright calls for county officials to report by Nov. 28 on the specific problems related to the printers at each location as well on how poll workers were trained.

Has the GOP Learned Anything After the Midterms?  [Scroll down] Republicans focus on winning votes while Democrats concentrate on gathering ballots.  There are quasi-legal ballot maneuvers including ballot-harvesting, mass mailings of ballots weeks or months before the actual election, extended counting, ranked voting, and similar election procedures enacted with Republican support or minimal resistance.  Then there are seemingly illegal maneuvers, many outlined in Dinesh D'Souza's documentary, 2,000 Mules.  Funny how vote counting stopped on election night in swing districts, only to resume the next day with a winning Republican on election night replaced by a winning Democrat when the sun came up.  Or voting machines mysteriously malfunctioning on Election Day in high GOP turnout precincts.  For example, in this midterm, 48 percent of Maricopa County election centers suffered problems.  Or random vote count spikes always favoring the Democrat candidate.  Or phantom ballots and voters based on neglected voter rolls.  2022 was a repeat of 2020, with Republicans caught flat-footed once again, or else complicit in another "selection" rather than an "election."

[Suspicious activity] at the Maricopa County Dropboxes.  Watch as vehicle after vehicle pull up to these Maricopa County dropboxes and individuals drop off what seems like dozens of ballots.  Dropboxes are legal in Arizona but ballot harvesting is not.  You are allowed to drop off ballots for your family but many of these individuals seem to have freakishly large families.  Just before election day, The Justice Department stepped into an ongoing Arizona election lawsuit supporting a claim by the League of Women Voters of Arizona that monitoring ballot drop boxes can amount to illegal voter intimidation.  [Video clip]

Saving Arizona and Other States: 10 Proven Reforms for Fairer Elections.  Did someone say election day was a "great day for democracy"?  Maybe it was in states such as Florida, Tennessee, and Missouri.  They welcomed eligible in-person voters, also offered absentee paper ballots with proper safeguards, counted votes quickly, and reported totals on election night and the next day.  Election results in those states were not totally unpredictable.  Most reasonably corresponded to prior polling, midterm election patterns, and voter expectations.  But in other states such as Arizona, Nevada, and Pennsylvania, it was a great day for compromising democracy.  They seemed to care more about collecting ballots than counting real votes or serving real voters, some of whom they turned away.  Based on 2020 "COVID" election changes in 17 states that favored absentee ballots over more secure in-person voting, these states cranked out endless paper ballots, dragged out counting for days, and reported results defying predictions.

Universal Suffrage in an Age of Rigged Elections.  Now, I believe that the elections, at least as far as I can tell, were rigged.  Whether or not there was any actual vote tampering or fraudulent counting, I of course cannot prove in a legal sense.  However, I cannot see why anyone thinks that politicians would not break the law in order to steal votes.  They already steal your money.  Why should we think they won't steal other things too?  In addition, the fact that the Democrats repeat the phrase "free and fair election" over and over and over again is, for me, almost a guarantee that the opposite is true.  I have about as much confidence in a politician saying, "free and fair election," as I do in a politician saying, "safe legal and rare" or "safe and effective."  Furthermore, given the dodgy nature of mail-in voting and the fact that people can vote without ID, I think I would have to be an idiot to think that a political opportunist would not take advantage of such a loophole.

GA SoS Raffensperger's War On Coffee County.  On April 7th, Georgia Secretary of State (SOS) Brad Raffenserger announced his office would investigate three counties for failing to complete mail-in ballot drop box transfer forms in recent Georgia elections.  The forms are required to be filled out to document transfers of mail-in ballots picked up from locations where drop boxes may have been installed throughout a county.  One of those counties that Raffensperger announced he would investigate is Coffee County.  The problem with the announcement is that if there is anyone in the SOS office who wanted the truth they only needed to make one phone call to know there is nothing to investigate.  Coffee County did not place any drop boxes in remote locations.  The only drop box was located at the county elections office.  County Elections offices have never been required to fill out forms if they receive mail-in ballots at the office.  So, what was the real motive behind this obvious publicity stunt and latest example of disinformation emanating from the SOS office?

Maricopa County: Eyewitness Accounts Suggest Election May Be Uncertifiable.  The Maricopa County election may be uncertifiable if the accounts of election workers at the polls are true.  Multiple Arizona poll workers have come forward, sharing documentation of their election day observations with UncoverDC. These poll workers — an election judge, three clerks, and an election marshal — worked at the same voting center all day on election day.  None of these poll workers knew each other prior to working on Election Day.  There were a total of 1 inspector, 2 judges, 1 marshal, and 7 clerks at this location. [...] Cynthia Schlesinger was the Marshal at the voting center.  She noted many of the issues described by Karla Sweet.  However, as Marshal, one of her duties was to assist with curbside duties.  She states that the county election workers — Mark McCall and Yamille Martinez — "[did] this against all rules."  As a result of McCall's presence outside, the poll workers had to repeatedly go outside to retrieve him when they needed assistance.  Schlesinger reports she was "supposed to be spoiling the ballots as needed, but Mark gave this job to his cohort Yamille [Martinez]."  Schlesinger also noted that her colleagues, Pam and Sue, counted the ballots, noting a discrepancy from Monday.  Schlesinger writes:  "Mark said there was 767 ballot paper in the box, there should have been [many fewer] as we had more than 30 voters and test prints.  When we brought this to his attention his response was 'oh well, they can fire me'."  Schlesinger also states that she and the others were not sworn in according to the rules but were merely "signed in."  Additionally, she said the mail-in ballots were "left in the collector box overnight when they should have been picked up."

Breaking: Ariz.  AG Takes Action - Ballots Reported in Black Duffle Bags - Officials Broke Election Laws.  Arizona Assistant Attorney General Jennifer Wright — with the Elections Integrity Unit — wrote a letter to the Maricopa County officials Saturday demanding an accounting for the widespread ballot tabulation and ballot printer problems seen during the general election on Nov. 8.  Among the most troubling issues raised in the letter directed to Thomas Liddy with the Maricopa County Attorney's Office was the apparent co-mingling of ballots in black duffle bags in at least one polling location, which were successfully run through the on-site tabulators with those put in "Door 3" to be sent to the Election Department's downtown Phoenix tabulation center because they could not be read. [...] Wright recounted that based on information provided by the county at least 60 polling locations' ballot on-demand printers were configured improperly, leading to the inability of the tabulators to read the ballots.  Ballots are printed on demand because voters are able to check in at any location in Maricopa County, which includes multiple congressional, state and local districts.

48 Percent of Maricopa County, Arizona Election Centers Had Ballot Processing Malfunctions on Election Day.  News from Rasmussen Reports shows that 48 percent of election centers in Maricopa County featured significant malfunctions on election day, with none of those problems being reported from computers during the early voting period.  [Tweet]  Some of the abnormalities that happened on election day in Arizona can be seen here:  [Tweets]  There have been multiple whistleblowers who have come forward to attest to the fraud that happened in the elections in Arizona:  [More tweets]

Georgia county election officials reverse course after finding more votes.  Election officials in an Atlanta-area city were left with egg dripping from their faces when they were forced to reverse results in a city council race after the results had been certified due to a memory card with additional votes being discovered, not exactly something that bolsters voter confidence with the critical Senate runoff between Herschel Walker and Raphael Warnock only weeks away.

The Editor says...
[#1] The election was eleven days ago.  Why weren't all the "memory card" devices accounted for within a few hours of the polls closing?  [#2] When votes are "found" and the outcome of the election changes after more than a week, the entire system reeks of corruption.  Let the polygraph tests begin!

Ohio Sees a Red Wave Amid Secretary of State's Election Integrity Measures.  As vote counting continued in the Arizona gubernatorial and Senate races days after Nov. 8, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose shared his outspoken opinion about the subject on Twitter.  "Dear Arizona, need some advice on how to run an election the right way?" said LaRose, a Republican who was elected to another term.  "Your process is obviously not working."  LaRose praised his office's emphasis on election integrity and the commitment of county election boards to produce timely reports on races.  "Election night results were reported on election night, and that is something Ohioans expect," LaRose told Fox News last week.

Georgia judge hands Warnock, Georgia Democrats a victory on early voting rules.  Fulton County Judge Thomas A. Cox handed a legal victory to Georgia Democrats and Raphael Warnock's campaign on Friday.  The Georgia Secretary of State cannot prohibit counties from voting on the Saturday after Thanksgiving as is currently stated in Georgia election law.  The Democrat Party of Georgia sued Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger's office to allow early voting on Nov. 26, the only Saturday in the early voting period for the run-off race between incumbent Democrat Senator Warnock and Hershel Walker, his Republican challenger.  Georgia election law reforms put into effect by state legislation shortened early voting in a run-off election to a week.

Mysteriously Discarded Ballots That Were Found On A Highway Have Been Verified And Most Of Them Will Be Included In The Election Results.  The United States Postal Service and the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters have launched an investigation to determine how a dozen or more Santa Clara County ballots wound up in a ravine in the Santa Cruz mountains, according to communications officer Michael Borja of the registrar's office.  As for how the ballots ended up on side of the highway, it's still a mystery.  On Nov. 11, a member of the public reported that ballots had been found near Hwy 17 along with other mail and parcels.  The ROV says it appears that the ballots had been returned by mail and went missing while in possession of the USPS.  The ballots were discovered in a pile of other mail, discarded in the woods near Sugarloaf Road off Highway 17, Borja said.

The appearance of impropriety.  Unfortunately, our election rules are riddled with appearances of impropriety.  Consider voter ID.  Most advanced countries require ID to vote.  Under our Constitution the right to vote for federal elections is limited to U.S. citizens of legal age (18).  State laws cannot change this.  The only way to verify these two criteria is with a government-issued ID.  There's a lot of bluster about voter ID laws being unfair or racist, but this is spurious because no one expresses outrage for the long list of other activities that require ID:  bank account, welfare, Social Security, job, airline travel, marriage, cell phone, hotel, etc.  In fact, suggesting that some groups are incapable of obtaining ID on their own could itself be construed as racist. [...] The solution is simple:  pass a federal voter ID law and offer free IDs to every U.S. citizen before the next election.  The same goes for voting by mail.  If people are allowed to vote in the privacy of their own homes, how do we know if they are the ones who voted or made the choices?

The 2022 Steal - Part 1.  The 2022 midterms were meant entirely, entirely, to weaken MAGA, to weaken populism world-wide, because if there had been a red wave, populists the world over would have taken heart and swept the polls.  The polls are, in every country, cheated.  The WEF, with the most brilliant (and unethical) people at their command have figured out how.  And we're finally figuring it out too.  Brazil is on the streets, demanding the election be redone.  Mexico is on the streets, refusing mail in ballots, because they know it's a cheat.  Berlin has decided to repeat their elections.  Why?  Weaponized incompetence, one of the main methodologies, as I will describe.  November 7 was a WEF take-over, just like the installation of Rishi Sunak in Britain.  Not even the conservative caucus wanted Sunak, much less the voters.  Lula in Brazil, ditto — Trudeau, Macron, that weird girl in New Zealand — same.  Stolen, manipulated, cheated.  Nor was November 7 just the Democrats.  It was the Uniparty, RINOs who want their power back, their license to loot — Romney, Lindsay Graham, Karl Rove and the Bushies.  They are so transparent, they don't even try to hide.  They know they stole, they know we know, but they don't care.  They don't care because they are desperate.  What happened in Florida would have happened in state after state after state, if they hadn't cheated.

Lazy Voters Enable Democratic Fraud.  First, let's take a step back and lay down some background info: Anyone with any semblance of either lucid observational powers or intellectual honesty/courage knows that Joe Biden is not the president.  He never has been.  Biden has been nothing more than a figurehead, a placeholder, ever since the astonishing fraud of the 2020 election was perpetrated upon the American electorate.  The Democrats successfully orchestrated their deception and left the naïve Republicans twiddling their thumbs and crying foul.  No amount of outright lying from the liberal media can even remotely explain how Republican poll watchers were forced out of several tabulation areas, the filmed evidence of Democratic mules stuffing ballot boxes late at night, how so many precincts had over 100% voter participation, how thousands of new ballots mysteriously appeared out of nowhere, always to the Democrats' advantage, and how state voting laws and deadlines were illegally changed, again, always to the Democrats' advantage.  None of this has been explained, much less "debunked," to use the liberal media's favorite word.  The fraud was simply ignored and swept under the rug, and if you bring up any logical counterarguments, protected by the 1st Amendment, you're somehow a threat to national security.

What Happened?  As of this writing, most states have counted their 2022 election ballots.  California, being California, continues to turtle toward its final vote tally.  About 2 million ballots remain to be counted there.  We nevertheless have a rough idea of how things are poised to shake out. [...] Obviously, this is not the result that Republicans had hoped for.  What makes it all the stranger is that it looks like Republicans will notch a significant victory in the popular vote.  As of this writing, they've received 51.0% of the vote to Democrats' 47.1%. [...] As things stand, we are seeing roughly a 7-point swing from 2020, when Democrats won the popular vote by a 50.8% to 47.7% margin.  Had you showed any major analyst these results, along with exit poll findings that Biden would be at 44% job approval, no one would have expected this outcome.  Overall, it's a strange election.

Arizona's numbers don't add up.  [Scroll down] In other words, it would appear that approximately 163,000 more votes were cast for Republicans than for Democrats.  Now compare that number to the up-ballot numbers, which indicate that about 98,000 more votes were cast for the Democrat candidates than for the Republican candidates.  The conclusion would be that about 68,000 voters who preferred the Republican for Congress voted Democrat for governor, senator, A.G., and secretary of state.  Additionally, the numbers indicate that 150,000 more people voted for all nine Republican candidates than voted for the four statewide offices under consideration for this exercise.  Both of those facts defy logic.  When we consider the travails of Election Day experienced by many voters, the unacceptably high numbers of equipment issues, and the fact that the Democrat secretary of state refused to recuse herself from the election tabulation, one has to believe that there were serious issues regarding the fairness of the election.

Election Fraud 2.0! O.K., So What Are You Gonna Do About It?  Only in politics could 2022 players be surprised by the "innovation" of a mail-in ballot-led strategy exactly the same as was used in 2020. [...] The next morning, I had to present the voter roll phantoms to its Secretary of State, via a Zoom call.  I had two hours to find at-scale phantom voters in one of the reddest states and present them to a group of 20 lawyers after my first cup of coffee the following morning.  It wasn't hard.  Voters registered in prison.  People voting from homeless shelters — for 20 years.  (Homeless shelters do not have 20-year residents, don't email me about this).  Active voters in a frat house who were 106 years old, and a voter who was 1,900 years old who registered to vote, just before the 2020 election.  The response from this Republican secretary of state was complete denial.  No matter how crazy the phantom's address was — like a jail — he refused to concede there was any phantom inhabitation of his state's voter rolls.  We now run about 20 states and they are all like this.  Phantom voter fraud is the heart and soul of ballot-harvesting election-stealing.  If we eliminate phantom voter fraud, people will still screw with machines, Maricopa County will make sure its voting machines do not work in Republican precincts, but the fake-ballot harvesting at scale will end.  It's where the big votes are!  Election fraud is an industry.  It is core to the fabric of both Democrat and Republican establishments.

No Way to Win?  Then Fix the Machine!  Currently, 28 states are governed by Republicans who could enact new laws clearing the rolls of ineligible voters if they have the red legislature to support such changes.  Unfortunately, Congress also has the power to overturn state laws so it would be a must for the GOP to control Congress.  But even if a Democrat Senate tried to undo that attempt, conservatives have to pull out all stops and demand why.  Why would they want ineligible foreign votes to decide how this country is run?  Why would they think that insisting voters show IDs would be voter suppression when everyone who receives government checks has to have proper government issued ID?  What we have now is pretty much what we used to call a "banana republic' in the sense that elections there were always a slam dunk for the dictator in charge because they were rigged.  The Deep State and the left have built a massive voting machine designed to favor their candidate and it has been in place for years.

How the Game is Fixed.  Imagine a Super Bowl where the Reds were ahead 27-25 with a minute to go.  All of a sudden, the power went out in the entire stadium.  When the lights came on after a couple minutes of chaos, fans noticed the scoreboard showed 27-29.  Anyone witnessing such an event would be beyond outraged. [...] So why is it that multiple unusual occurrences in a nationwide election are ignored and voters are expected to just accept the results they are given?  In Dallas, Texas there are reports of hundreds of votes being added at poll closing time.  A Democrat in New Hampshire was awarded 1,106 votes in a town with about 700 people.  Why is Maricopa County, Arizona the only place in the country where there is no chain of custody for mail-in ballots?  In the same county an elections clerk claimed that uncounted "Slot 3" ballots were mixed in with already counted ballots.  In Maryland there were 1,000 votes left to count in a House race, but overnight 10,000 votes were added, leading to a Democrat victory.  In Santa Clara, California, a bag of mail-in ballots was found deep in a ravine.

PA Gov. Elect Josh Shapiro Arrests Democratic Consultant For 'Wide Scale' Ballot Fraud.  Democratic Pennsylvania Governor-elect Josh Shapiro charged a former campaign consultant Wednesday with "wide scale" voter fraud, according to authorities.  Philadelphia political consultant Rasheen Crews was arrested Wednesday and charged with forging signatures on nomination petitions so that he could get his Democratic clients on the ballot during the 2019 primary races in the city, Shapiro's office announced.  "In advance of the 2023 municipal elections, this arrest is an important reminder that interfering with the integrity of our elections is a serious crime," Shapiro said in a statement.

Just Call It What It Is: Massive Election Fraud.  Nothing works in America 2022:  there's inflation through the roof, expensive food, expensive energy/gas, war in the Ukraine with the potential to go nuclear, debt through the roof, everything sucks basically.  Yet, the Democrats managed to pretty much remain in power after the midterms.  The Senate is 100% in blue hands and keep in mind that Republicans always betray their voters and join Democrats when it's something big that needs to pass through the House.  DEMs never do that by the way.

Early-Vote Malignancy Metastasized in Midterm Elections.  The mad rush toward early voting accelerated thanks to another disease:  COVID-19.  Like so many things wrong in America today, COVID lurks just beneath the surface.  Because voting in person was "too dangerous," opportunistic Democrat lawyers sued like ambulance chasers in 2020 to widen and deepen early voting beyond its earlier, lower profile.  This year, with COVID in the rear-view mirror, 2020's "emergency" measure has become the new normal.  The Democrats' ever-leftward ratchet mechanism always works this way.  Yesterday's temporary concession becomes tomorrow's permanent civil right.  What [...] is the hurry to cast ballots before seeing the complete picture that voters face each federally defined Election Day?

Philly Dem Consultant Accused of Faking 1,000 Signatures.  As bad as Arizona may be, there's a reason that Philly still leads the nation in fraud in contested statewide elections.  (I'm not going to bother mentioning New York or Los Angeles, where Karen Bass was predictably appointed mayor by way of a whole lot of late-arriving ballots for the second time.)  What's remarkable is not that things like this happen in Philly, but how unremarkable they are. [...] What's striking about these stories is the sheer level of chutzpah, the brazenness of the corruption in question.  That's a fundamental characteristic of the kind of hard-core corruption in the urban Dem political machine.

Google attempts to deter 'election fraud' searches with suggestions like 'ejection fraction'.  Google appears to be attempting to deter searches on "election fraud" by using auto-fill suggestions unrelated to elections.  Upon typing "election fr" or "election "fra" into Google's search engine, instead of auto-suggesting phrases that begin with "election," as would be typical, Google primarily suggests variations of "ejection fraction."

Another Brick in the Blue Wall of Fraud.  There is an international consensus that secure, trustworthy elections means strict voter ID requirements and in-person voting rather than drop boxes or vote-by-mail.  In response to the chaos of the 2020 election, in which many Detroit precinct totals simply didn't add up, the Michigan legislature passed an effective voter ID law, which Governor Gretchen Whitmer vetoed.  To prevent any threat of honest elections in Michigan's future, Michigan Democrats came up Proposal 2, amending Michigan's Constitution to mandate drop boxes, allow unlimited third-party funding of ballot harvesting, prohibit election audits except as conducted under the supervision of the secretary of state, and ban effective voter ID laws.  Drop boxes and ballot harvesting means that canvassers can cajole, bribe, or scare you into voting their way and then drop off the ballot anonymously.  The prohibition on legislative or independent election audits means that there is no effective check on any fraud scheme to which the secretary of state is a party.  The ban on effective voter ID laws means that all anybody has to do to vote as somebody else is to sign in as them at the polling place.

The Unpopular Cure for Our Electoral Woes.  Here we are, a week after the 2022 elections, and we are still in the fog of ballot-counting.  A nation who put a man on the moon a half-century ago somehow cannot tally the votes of the people in a day.  Read into that whatever you wish.  Over at the Conservative Treehouse, site owner Sundance provides an excellent article distinguishing the difference between ballots and votes.  Votes are the expressed intention of a voter for a particular government leader.  Ballots are filled out pieces of paper that express the choice of a particular leader.  Both are counted for an election.  In the current system, ballots are gathered or harvested either, legally or illegally, and submitted.  Given the lack of prosecution, the legality of it apparently does not matter.  Votes represent the will of the people; ballots may or may not.  This disenfranchising process could not happen if one political party vehemently opposed it.

Harris County DA Kim Ogg launches 2022 election investigation, asks Texas Rangers to assist.  Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg has opened an investigation into possible criminal conduct in the county's administration of last week's midterm election, when some polling places opened late and others ran out of ballot paper, among other issues.  She also has asked state authorities to assist with the probe.  Ogg confirmed the investigation, first reported by the New York Times, in a Wednesday statement to Houston Public Media.  She made her request for assistance in a M0nday email to the Texas Rangers, saying her office had received a referral from the Texas Secretary of State's Office about "alleged irregularities" that "potentially may include criminal conduct" in Harris County, according to the Times.

Two Maricopa election officials are anything but neutral.  One of the hardest fought 2024 races was that for Arizona governor.  On the one hand, there was Katie Hobbs, a bovine candidate who campaigned as Joe Biden did: infrequently and incoherently.  It's almost as if both knew that they'd win no matter what.  On the other side was Kari Lake, one of the most dynamic candidates to appear on the American scene in years (or decades).  Now, thanks to Maricopa County, Hobbs has been declared the winner, and people have questions — especially because it's been revealed two of the campaign officials are anti-MAGA activists. [...] The Post Millennial did some digging and found something interesting about two Maricopa County election officials who have the all-important job of making sure all legitimate votes get counted, and that all illegitimate votes do not.

Within Minutes of Arizona Gov Election Call, Twitter, DHS and Big Tech Begin Blocking Discussion of Difference Between "Ballots and Votes".  I'm going to skip noting that Elon Musk Twitter is essentially unchanged, regarding the relationship between Twitter, the Dept of Homeland Security and the disinformation police, as many keep saying Musk Twitter has not had time to reformat.  That said, five days after our post-election review of the difference between ballots and votes, and within minutes of the controversial Arizona governor contest being announced by DHS media outlets, suddenly any discussion about "Ballots -vs- Votes" is considered a risk to democracy.  The need for control is a reaction to fear.  Twitter specifically, and Big Tech writ large, has now placed a warning on the CTH article where we draw attention to the general difference between ballots and votes.  The timing of the intervention, as related to the content discussed, is transparent.  Sunlight is a great disinfectant and must be controlled at all costs.

Warnock, DSCC Sue To Allow For Extra Day Of Early Voting In Georgia Senate Runoff.  Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock of Georgia, along with party allies, have sued the state to allow for an extra day of early voting before the U.S. Senate runoff election on Dec. 6.  Warnock, joined by the Democratic Party of Georgia and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, has filed a complaint for an injunction in the Fulton County Superior Court, seeking to force Georgia to allow early voting on Saturday, Nov. 26.  Early voting in the race is scheduled to begin on Monday, Nov. 28 and run until Friday, Nov. 29, the mandatory five days required by state law.  Georgia elections law prohibits early voting on a Saturday if a holiday falls within two days of it.

Republican Leaders Have A Choice: Roll Back Early Voting And Mail-In Ballots Or Learn To Take Advantage Of Them.  Republicans apparently learned very little from the 2020 election which turned voting and vote counting into a chaotic multi-week affair, all to the great advantage of Democrats.  After finding their party blown out of the water by early votes and mail-in ballots, both vastly expanded to accommodate the pandemic hysteria, elected GOP leaders seem to have thought to themselves, "Well, better luck next time!"  And here we are.  In an election year that should have seen major gains for Republicans across the board, the party failed to take the Senate, could still (a week after Election Day) fail to secure the House, and is now on life support for the governorship in Arizona.  There isn't just one reason for the shortcomings but none are more important than the party's neglect in adapting to our new jungle of an election process.  For the past two years, every Republican should have been either attempting to beat back the flood of "no excuse" mail-in ballots saturating swing states, or building up a party network that could adapt to it.  There were some efforts to manage the mail-in voting problem in Arizona and Georgia but otherwise the party said its prayers and hoped for the best heading into the midterms.

Maricopa County Election Judge Speaks Out.  No matter what the results of the midterm elections are in Arizona, Maricopa County is yet again at the center of controversy, and for a good reason.  Election judge Michele Swinick has come forward to report what she experienced in Maricopa County on Election Day.  She worked Election Day as a judge at the Islamic Voting Center in Scottsdale, AZ.  She reports that the center is heavily Republican, with "no party" designated voters as the second most populous demographic, followed by very few democrat voters, evidenced by the fact that she checked in very few of them on Election Day.  She reports she spent the entire day checking in voters.  Swinick says that the tabulators all worked "perfectly" during the test the night before the election.  The problem with scanning began immediately with the first ballots.  Voters scanned their ballots between 4 and 12 times with very minimal success.  Poll workers estimated about 1 in 10 ballots were being read for the first three hours of voting.  Voters were given options to either spoil their ballots and try again or drop them into a different section called "Door 3."  As per Swinick, their inspector had to empty the ballots from "Door 3" three times throughout the early afternoon because of the volume of ballots.

Election Night Follies.  Few candidates are willing to come forward to so much as question the "irregularities" taking place in their districts.  Or even state the obvious:  We now have an electoral system compromised by the most pregnable and vulnerable aspect of the voting process:  "mail-in ballots."  This has been regarded as the weakest link in the chain to an honest and fair election outcome.  Democrats are truly accomplished at silencing any concerns conservatives may entertain about the outcome of today's voting systems (i.e. multiple extensions and 10,000,000 mail-in ballots). [...] Confusion was rife on the night of the election — especially in toss-up candidacy regions where a red wave was predicted.  That confusion includes headlines involving repeated "programming glitches" in Mercer, NJ.  My personal favorite — in terms of appreciating the absurdities in life — is the breakdown of counting votes in Dallas, TX.  Miraculously "poll pads caught adding hundreds of voters in real time as poll is being closed."  That means hundreds of votes — jumping from 1,080 to 1,139 to finally 1,259 — managed to appear on a computer screen without a poll worker entering the data.  We're supposed to believe that the data entered itself.  That brings to mind a Democrat registered voter arrested in Colorado for inserting an unauthorized USB thumb drive into a voting machine, according to the Associated Press.

Patriots in Arizona Call for a New Legitimate Midterm Election on December 6.  The Arizona election is a total mess.  It's full of corruption in almost every area.  It is uncertifiable as a result.  A new free and fair election is demanded.  Secretary of State Katie Hobbs should have recused herself due to her running for governor in this election but her conflict of interest was ignored.  The same people involved in the uncertifiable 2020 Election were also involved in this election.  They too should have been removed.  The systems are the same systems with still unanswered questions from the 2020 Election.  As a result a group of citizens in Arizona released a statement last night calling for a new election.  They request that this election in the state be held on December 6.

Here's what Kari Lake said about the last ballot dump just before it dropped and put Hobbs ahead.  The Associated Press called the Arizona gubernatorial race for Democrat Katie Hobbs at 9:30 pm Monday night.  Hobbs, who stared down calls to recuse herself from overseeing her own election as Arizona's secretary of state, is expected to certify her own election near the end of the month.  Hobbs' opponent, Kari Lake, who had been widely expected to win, may not go quietly into the night.  Shortly before the "vote dump" that preceded the call, Lake was on Fox News's "Jesse Watters Primetime."  [Video clip]  "What's going to happen when we hear about this vote dump?" asked Watters.  "I don't know... We think we should be in good shape," she said, the former confidence in her tone replaced by transparent chagrin.  She complained that in Maricopa County there were still 94,000 uncounted votes out of 158,000 total ballots that were presumably in the vote dump.

Nevada County Confirms Livestream Video Of Vote-Count Areas Went Dark For 8 Hours, Responds To Criticism.  County officials in Nevada over the weekend confirmed that cameras live-streaming vote-counting areas on Wednesday night and Thursday morning went dark for a total of eight hours.  "We know that our election livestream cameras went dark overnight.  We investigated what happened and how to prevent it happening again," Washoe County's Twitter account posted Thursday afternoon.  Unsurprisingly, the tweet went viral, racking up thousands of reactions, which included questions concerning election integrity.

Texas Gov. Abbott calls for investigation into Harris County's Election Day problems.  Texas Gov. Greg Abbott called for an investigation into Harris County's elections after several polling places failed to open on time and ran out of paper ballots on Election Day last week.  "The allegations of election improprieties in our state's largest county may result from anything ranging from malfeasance to blatant criminal conduct," Abbott said in a statement.  "Voters in Harris County deserve to know what happened.  Integrity in the election process is essential.  To achieve that standard, a thorough investigation is warranted."

About "Deniers".  It all started with Holocaust deniers.  That phrase has a clear meaning:  it refers to someone who denies that the Holocaust took place.  But liberals saw potential in the locution, an opportunity to disqualify their opponents without actually making an argument.  Thus, they started labeling people as "climate deniers." [...] Liberals must have thought that strategy worked, because now we have "election deniers."  Again, one asks, what is an election denier?  Someone who denies that we have elections?  No.  An election denier is anyone who worries that our elections might not be entirely on the up-and-up.  Someone other than a Democrat, of course. [...] Poll after poll has shown that Americans of both parties want honest elections.  Something like 70% to 75% of Americans want voter ID requirements, which the Democrats have desperately tried to make illegal.

We're getting played when it comes to who's the real 2022 winner.  Oh, and here's what I believe is the most significant factor:  mail-in ballots.  In states with mail-in ballots, the Secretary of State mails ballots to every person on the registrar's list.  It's irrelevant that many have moved, are dead, or are manifestly fraudulent.  At apartment buildings, you may see dozens of ballots sitting in piles in the lobby, addressed to people who long since moved away.  The ballots then get mailed back in again.  The Secretary of State has no idea who filled out the ballots or popped them in the mailbox.  He or she doesn't care that 1,000 are returned from the same 30-unit apartment building or temporary homeless shelter.  The ballots are then taken from their envelopes, effectively removing all identification, and "counted."  This is a process without any brakes on fraud.  And if the current crop of ballots doesn't provide a victory for the Democrats, it's perfectly easy to slip in a few more ballots that are untethered to a real person to tip the "correct" candidate into the winning pile.

America's Great Political Unraveling.  What's worse — how much of a joke America's "elections" are or the contempt with which election officials treat voters who have the nerve to demand answers on election night?  Days of mail-in ballot counting have turned Republican Senate leads into Democrat Senate victories, while control of the House is still up for grabs; but the praetorian news pundits who defend the Deep State's virtue as if they were protecting the disputed honor of a blushing bride still find it more appalling that voters could question the legitimacy of America's elections than the reality that vote-counters have turned elections into long-term, unbelievable affairs.  It takes an awful long time to track down all those rascally elusive ballots temporarily lost in the mail.  Perhaps any unused leftovers can just be scooped up and used again for the Democrats in two years — whatever might move this whole farce along more quickly in the future.  This debauched civic ritual has become so dirty that there's not enough soap to wash off the stench.  In states where voter identification rules are somewhat enforced and mail-in and absentee ballots are reserved for exceptional cases, Republicans won overwhelmingly.  In states where anonymous, unsecured mail-in ballots are the new norm, Republicans got trounced.

Dozens of Arizona Republican Voters Describe How Ballots Were Not Counted, Ballots Were Tossed in a Box, and People Were Not Allowed in to Vote.  On Tuesday morning, The Gateway Pundit reported that when polls opened in Maricopa County at 6 am on Election Day, voters were told that the tabulators were not working.  This was happening across Maricopa County and resulted in long lines and voters being told to go to another location to vote.  Katie Hobbs is the current Secretary of State in charge of elections.  Instead of tabulating their ballot directly, voters were also told to put their ballot into a box under the tabulator so that their ballot may be tabulated at a later time downtown.  Voters were told to just drop their ballot into the open door seen below.  [Photo]  This took place at 30% of the precincts in Maricopa County on Election Day.

The Modern Electioneering Process of "Ballot Submission Assistance" is Taking Center Stage.  If CTH had a small part in helping people to reset their reference points around modern electioneering, well, that's a good thing.  The difference between "ballots" and "votes" is previously explained and absolutely critical to understand before moving forward.  Thankfully a large percentage of conservatives, intellectually honest independents and even some establishment republican donors have read our research and are now starting to have the 'votes' vs 'ballots' conversation.  That understanding is critical, because any conversation that does not accurately identify and accept the problem is futile.

America's Fourth World Election System Is A Global Embarrassment.  The whole world is laughing.  "US election results: When will we know who won?" the BBC wondered.  AZCentral.com columnist Jon Gabriel wrote: "Friends in Hungary and Brazil asked how their entire nations can count votes in a few hours, while it takes Arizona a week or longer." [...] Mechanical breakdowns, baffling "ballot dumps," and inexplicable pauses in tabulation have buried the Arizona and Nevada senatorial and gubernatorial results in sand.  Alaska has soiled itself with a new, needless and odious rank-choice-voting process.  Rather than Tuesday's top vote-getter winning the Senate seat, Republicans Lisa Murkowski, Kelly Tshibaka, Buzz Kelley, and Democrat Patricia Chesboro are mired in a glacial redistribution of each losing candidate's votes to those ranked higher.  This ballot buffoonery could continue for weeks.  In the U.S. House, 23 seats remain uncalled.  Republicans have yet to secure their expected slim majority, thanks to dilatory vote counts and mail-in ballots that land more slowly than falling autumn leaves.  Who will be the next mayor of Los Angeles?  At this writing, 64 hours after polls closed, nobody knows.  Some 900,000 ballots await tabulation!  In 10 California congressional contests, only around half of the ballots have been counted, per Politico.  In the Sixth District, only 52% of ballots have been tabulated!

The Red Tsunami Was Stopped by Massive, Widespread, Ongoing Voter Fraud.  It appears Democrats are going to not only retain control of the Senate, but may pick up a seat and potentially have the power to take out the filibuster.  The House, which was all but assured for Republican majorities for weeks before the election, appears to be heading toward giving razor-thin control to the GOP... and it still has a chance of remaining in Democrats' hands.  The red tsunami didn't materialize.  Or, to be more accurate, it was stolen.  That seems to be hard for many to accept as even some of the most outspoken conservative and alternative news outlets following the 2020 theft have gone silent on 2022.  They're blaming everything other than voter fraud for some reason.  I've seen far too few outside of The Gateway Pundit, Wayne Allyn Root, and a few others in media who are discussing in public what seems to be blatantly clear, at least to me. [...] I fought and continue to fight for the truth about the 2020 election to come out and I'm even more certain that 2022 was stolen.  Yet, it appears those of us who believe that are a very tiny minority. [...] We are already being told to "move on" and the votes haven't even been fully counted yet.  This is worse than the 2020 steal because it affected dozens of states, not just 7 or 8 swing states.

Maricopa County Election Judge Believes the Machines Were Programmed to Reject Ballots on Election Day.  Michele Swinick was an election judge in Maricopa County on election day last week.  Following the election Michele stepped forward to discuss what she experienced in Maricopa County on Election Day.  Michele worked at a center in a heavily Republican district.  According to Michele, the tabulators worked perfectly well the night before the election.  Then on Election Day they quit working.  Only 1 in 10 ballots were accepted through the tabulators.  The officials were told to put the defective ballots into a different section called "Door 3."  Michele believes this was all planned.  The election officials knew that republicans were going to come out in force on election day as they did in the primary.  This was a planned operation.

This wasnt an election.  On Election Day 2020, we went to bed with Trump as the obvious victor — he had to win only one of the several states still in play.  We woke up with Trump as the likely loser.  I had a feeling we'd been cheated.  Of course it was only a feeling, but I noticed it was shared by a surprising number of people in "deep blue" Connecticut:  Enthusiasm for Trump 2020 had run higher than for any presidential candidate people could remember.  Higher than it had for Obama the first time around.  And it was all just a mirage?  I was — still am — a full-stack software developer.  I got a call from a voter integrity nonprofit who'd been in business long before I'd considered voter fraud a serious problem.  They asked me to put together an emergency team to analyze the 2020 election results.  My team focused on statistical analyses — studies of the very unlikely.  Trying to find explanations for why certain late-reporting precincts were three standard deviations from their neighbors (think 1-in-1,000 shot) in areas like ballot-splitting.  We found state databases where votes that had already been counted were subsequently deleted, or where thousands of mail-in ballots were received back by the government before they'd even been mailed out (Pennsylvania).

How Wisconsin Streetfighters Disrupted a Democrat Ballot-Gathering System.  When Election Day became Election Month, mail-in ballots replaced in-person voters, and the electoral world changed forever.  It is not changing back.  Democrats, expert in anything government-related, drove states to change laws, increase voting days, loosen voter standards.  Republican leadership dozed.  Democrats, leftist non-governmental organizations, Big Tech invented every conceivable way to manipulate the ballot process:  collect ballots, drop into streetside bins, fill them out if the voter doesn't.  That is a ballot-gathering strategy.  It works! Republicans remained stuck in the same "voter strategy" for the last decade: yard signs, fundraising, obscure websites, TV ads.  The raw material of the ballot-gathering strategy is the phantom voter or address.  Every ballot needs to tie to someone — even if only a name on a list.

When Election Day Lasts For A Month.  We don't know how many races, if any, the Democrats have stolen or are stealing in this year's midterm elections.  But they have a reputation for fixing elections.  Think of 1960 and Mayor Richard Daley's Chicago machine and John Kennedy's tight win over Richard Nixon.  Historian and Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson biographer Robert Dallek, believed that Daley "probably stole Illinois from Nixon."  Start with that history, then add to it the fact that Democrats are thoroughly convinced of the righteousness of their policy positions, blend in their taste for exercising raw political power, and the dish that's produced is poisonous to fair elections.  What we do know for sure is that Democrats were part of the rancid cabal (not our word) that rigged the 2020 election for Democrat Joe Biden.  Time magazine reported about this "conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes," "an informal alliance between left-wing activists and business titans," a confederation of schemers "working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information."

About the GOP Winning That Popular Vote in the House Races.  I've seen a lot of rationales being tossed around for why the Republicans didn't win more despite what all the polls and data points suggested.  I must confess, I'm not particularly satisfied with any of the answers I've seen.  Yes, could some candidates have been better?  No doubt.  But Democrats got John Fetterman in and even voted for a dead man.  So let's not even pretend the quality of the candidate or even being alive truly matters.  If you voted in Fetterman, it's all based on wanting power for your party, no matter what.

How Did Maggie Hassan Get 1100 Votes in NH Town With a Population Under 700?  We've got something for you if you're looking for irregularities in your local elections.  Columbia, New Hampshire.  It's way up north.  A tiny little town that, according to the 2020 US Census, had 695 residents.  But according to the Secretary of State, Maggie Hassan received 1,106 votes from the same town.  The State Website reports Columbia, NH, had 735 residents in 2019.  Columbia, NH's website says the population in 2010 was 798.  Wikipedia cites a decline based on the 2020 census to 695.  How were over 1300 votes cast in a town with a population under 700 at least and under 800 at best?  Someone up there might want to request the same-day registration list.  Your town doubled in size overnight.

Arizona on my Mind.  Election Day is increasingly looking like election month, and frankly, unless state residents under our federal system get control of this, I see no end to it.  In the worst cases, ballots are emailed to everyone who has ever been registered to vote whether or not they've died or moved away, faulty ballot printing results in valid ballots being tossed, equipment failures misregister votes, ballot drop boxes are left unmonitored, and so on — all of which contribute to an atmosphere in which corruption flourishes.  The more this happens, the more voters believe they cannot vote themselves out of policies and politicians with which they disagree.  That is not an insignificant problem.  Arizona once again leads in sloppy election handling.  One can blame incompetence, but as these sloppy procedures seem to always favor the Left, there's reason for suspicion.

Here's Where the House Race Stands With Yet Another GOP Flip.  It has seemed that they're slow-walking the calls for the outstanding races in the House, even when some of them are separated by more than a couple of points.  It's five days after the election and we still don't know the results for control of the House.  I last updated this two days ago.  But if there's anything that needs to be addressed going forward, it's this concept being pushed that it's somehow normal to take "days" or even "weeks" to get to a result in the election.

Arizona Count Drags on: Hundreds of Thousands of Ballots Outstanding.  Maricopa County's estimated 185,000-195,000 remaining outstanding ballots include an estimated 5,000 "Election Day ballots," 171,227 estimated "early ballots left to process and tabulate," about 10,159 "early ballots left to cure," and an estimated 430 "provisional ballots left to research."

Lt. Gen. McInerney: 330k Votes Were Shifted From Dr. Oz To Fetterman, 36k Shifted From Lake to Hobbs.  The Two Mikes were joined about an hour ago by Lt.  General Thomas McInerney (ret'd), who presented a brief report on last night's election results.  General McInerney said the election was a repeat of 2020 with widespread vote manipulation by the Democrats and their Chinese paymasters.  The general pointed especially to Pennsylvania and Arizona, reporting that 330 thousand votes were shifted from Dr. Oz to Fetterman, and in Arizona about 36,000 were shifted from Kari Lake to Hobbs.  This kind of thing, he said, occurred across the country.  General McInerney recommended that all losing Republican candidates who believe they were the victims of cheating should ask for an audit and not a recount.  A recount merely counts the paper ballots and that includes the ones that were illicitly moved.

Unreal midterm elections and the search for sanity in America.  The election last week defied reality.  For example, John Fetterman, the Democrat who won the U.S. Senate race in Pennsylvania, promised more inflationary spending, more lenient treatment of felons amid a violent crime wave and more of the left's radical, parent-dissing sexual agenda.  Yet he won. [...] Finally, in some areas, vote fraud may be baked into the system, especially in one-party urban districts.  Although some states tightened election security after 2020, others still have COVID-excused extended early voting, no photo ID, unmanned drop boxes and millions of mailed ballots from compromised registration lists.  Plus, hackable voting machines.  Does this prove that vote fraud occurred?  Nope.  Fraud is hard to detect and hard to prove.  Looking at election anomalies that defy rational explanation is like detecting a huge, expanding ripple in the sea.  You didn't actually see the tail, so you can't prove a whale was just there.  But you know something big was.  Anyway, while the rest of the country scratched its head in disbelief over so many Democrat wins, Texas and Florida excelled for the GOP.

With This Obstacle in Place, Republicans Can't Get the White House.  Surveying the wreckage of the disappointing Republican midterms, voters were left scratching their heads, trying to figure out what went wrong. [...] While I've seen plenty of postmortems already, the single biggest issue that wrecked the wave was mail-in voting combined with ballot-harvesting, which all but eliminated Republican hopes in states where Democrats control the voting rules.  This is why Senate polls were so wrong in these states.  The two states where the impact was most obvious were Pennsylvania and Michigan, but it snuffed out real Republican chances all over the map in states where the Democrats control voting laws.  Pennsylvania literally elected a dead man, and I'm not even talking about the pro-crime radical with such severe brain damage that he can't form a coherent sentence.  With two of our kids having gone to college in Michigan, we spend a fair amount of time visiting there.  As near as I can tell, the only Michigan residents who actually like Gretchen Whitmer are in her immediate family.  And yet she easily beat an impressive Republican candidate.  In a fair election, Tudor Dixon wins that race easily.

Nevada Republican Adam Laxalt's Senate campaign 'bracing for a loss,' prepping for recount: report.  As Republican Adam Laxalt's lead in the Nevada Senate race dwindles with 93% of the vote counted, his campaign is reportedly "bracing for a loss" and weighing asking for a recount.  Laxalt is ahead of incumbent Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto by just 800 votes after 23,000 mail-in ballots were tabulated in Clark County on Friday.  The results from the mail-in ballots are favoring Cortez Masto at a 2-1 rate.  Clark County, home to Las Vegas, reportedly has about 27,000 mail-in ballots left to be counted.

These Counties Experiencing Election Issues Have One Thing In Common.  It suffices to say that Election Day didn't go as planned for some polling places that experienced and are still experiencing ballot-counting issues.  Despite the varying election-related difficulties, multiple jurisdictions share one foreseen commonality.  There's a common thread connecting five counties spread across several states that were in disarray on Election Day:  federal "monitors."  On the eve of the elections, the Biden administration's Department of Justice announced Monday it would be dispatching such monitors to as many as 64 jurisdictions in almost half of U.S. states on Election Day to oversee federal election law "compliance."  According to the DOJ's watch list, Pennsylvania's Luzerne County, Texas's Harris County, Arizona's Maricopa County, and Pima County, and Nevada's Washoe County all had the feds there "monitoring" polls.  The nationwide deployment is a notable expansion.  Nevada wasn't on the DOJ's roster two years ago during the presidential election cycle in 2020.  Still, it was on the DOJ's radar this time, and Pima County — Arizona's second-most populous, which holds Tucscon — is among the new additions.

The battle over a 100% hand count in Arizona pulls back the mask.  Some day, perhaps even sometime this year if we're lucky, when election officials in Arizona finally find someone capable of mastering preschool mathematics and they finish counting their ballots, we may know the outcome of the 2022 midterm elections.  But that day is not today, my friends.  They are somehow still flummoxed by the task of gathering up hundreds of thousands of ballots and feeding them into machines of dubious efficacy.  Meanwhile, a different set of election supervisors appears to be ready to move forward with a hand count of nearly all of the ballots.  Those officials are facing threats from state Democrats, however.  The liberals have gone to court and obtained an order to forbid any such action, though the ruling seems to defy the state's election laws.

Arizona Ballots Make [a] Stop at Runbeck Printing Company to Scan Ballot Envelopes Before They Are Sent to [the] County.  Ben Bergquam was outside the Maricopa County election center and followed a Penske truck leave the center and return to Runbeck.  Once at Runbeck, the gate is closed.  Every mail-in ballot that is returned in the county is sent to Runbeck first.  Runbeck is scanning the Maricopa ballots before they are sent to the Maricopa County Elections Center.  [Tweet with video clip]

The Editor says...
That's an interesting report, but how does the reporter know what's happening to the ballots behind closed doors (and gates)?

Republicans need to figure out mail-in voting.  What was the determinative fix in the 2022 midterm elections?  Early, mostly mail-in, voting.  It is perfectly legal.  But it undermines a fair and open electoral process.  Were I a Democrat, I might even say that it "threatens our democracy."  Why?  Because it allows for the wholesale manipulation of the vote.  It also dilutes the integrity of an election by transforming it from an event into a process.  I should add that "mail-in ballots" is an equivocal term.  It can mean different things in different contexts and in different states.  The practice is obviously open to more interference and manipulation than same-day voting is. [...] The real issue is that the wholesale practice of early or mail-in voting makes a mockery of elections.  If you say that an election is to be held on November 8, but millions of ballots are already docketed, if not actually counted, by the time November 8 rolls around, why bother to have Election Day at all?  Why not have Election Week, or Election Month, or Election Quarter? [...] There is also the elephant, or rather the donkey, in the room:  mail-in voting is largely a Democratic concession, encouraged and abetted by Democrats in order to help influence the course of elections.  My own feeling is that the practice should be sharply curtailed, if not outlawed.

What's the Matter With Arizona?  [Scroll down] When some ballots refused to go through the scanners, some voters were told just to go to a different polling place and try again.  Once they got to the new place they were told that since they had checked in and received a ballot at the prior location they would not be given another ballot.  Makes sense, but not if your first ballot was trashed.  Which brings me to "drawer 3."  Apparently some of the unscannable ballots were placed into a "secure lock box" where the authorities essentially said we intend to scan these somewhere else at a time to be determined.  Since the ballot would not scan where it was filled in, who believes it will scan downtown?  Hand tally anyone?  Don't forget that our Secretary of State, Katie Hobbs, has ultimate supervisory responsibility for running a "free and fair" election, but is herself running for governor and is locked in a very tight battle with none other than Kari Lake.  Apparently, the appearance of impropriety is the standard they use there.  Plus, the SOS's office has been closed for two years due to Covid, and the team was working from home via Zoom.  Seems unlikely to me all those printers and scanners were checked out via Zoom.

What's happening in Nevada?  Arizona?  Upstate NY?  Whitney Webb's One Nation under Blackmail published late last month, explains in exhaustive detail how the American government was taken over by well-dressed thieves.  Webb writes from the left, but she is dispassionate.  In 1,000 pages, she explains the history of the turning of democracy, starting post WW2 with the heinous Dulles brothers, moving through Reagan with country club thugs calling themselves The Enterprise, to Jeffrey Epstein's seduction of Bill and Hillary Clinton.  Promising riches beyond their imaginings, the seduction led the couple, by increments, to sell out the country to China and Wall Street.  Webb explains how Epstein set up the Clinton and Gates Foundations promising a new iteration in 'charity', one that made profits, and pushed forward the founders as Saviours.  Clinton in her years as Sec State, flew around the world eating brownies and demanding tithes for herself, in return for every beneficence she gave courtesy of the American taxpayer.  The '08 crisis was brought to us by the same crooks, and the same methods, chipping away at regulation.  The head Fannie and Freddie Mae bureaucrat, James A Johnson walked away with $100 million leaving the world in crisis.  Tens of millions lost everything. [...] Add in the Covid mess, and another bunch of corporate and government thieves walked away with $3 Trillion, in the US alone.  Do you really think they'd allow the endless prosecutions they deserve?  Do you really think they want to give back the money they stole?  Do you think they would allow a landslide which gave us the power to investigate?  No and no and no and no.

Maricopa County Supervisor Says 'It's Offensive' To Expect Votes To Be Counted Faster.  Maricopa County Supervisor Bill Gates criticized Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake of Arizona Thursday [11/10/2022] over her criticism of the slow pace of the vote count.  "Quite frankly it's offensive for Kari Lake to say that these people behind me are slow rolling this when they're working 14 to 18 hours.  So I really hope this is the end of that now.  We can be patient and respect the results when they come out," Gates said in remarks to a local station that were broadcast on CNN Friday.  Lake, who currently trails Democratic Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, 50.7% to 49.3% with 78% of the votes in according to the New York Times, accused election officials of "slow rolling" the count during a Thursday appearance on Newsmax, telling guest host Bianca de la Garza that she expected to win and changes to the state's election processes would be a top priority.

DeSantis 2024? Think Again.  There really was a red wave in the midterms, but it was macro-engineered to a trickle, as should have been expected.  The scam of "malfunctioning" voting machines, the shortage of paper ballots, the tsunami of mail-in and late ballots, the temporary closing and slow-downs of polling stations, and so on would have been sufficient to determine an electoral result.  2020 was an early run for 2022, which in turn should be regarded as a template for 2024.  I am absolutely sure that the Dems are now, even as we speak, preparing favorable ground for the next presidential election. [...] In a rigged electoral system, no Republican candidate, not even DeSantis, can be expected to win a national election. [...] If the system is not repaired and made answerable to the people, there will never be a Republican president again.

Abolish 'Voting Season' and Bring Back Election Day.  Simply put, no one could doubt that, for a long time, Democrats have owned the dishonest ground game in politics.  But on that last point, Democrats have taken it a step further.  On April 7, 2020, Elizabeth Warren called for new "badly needed vote-by-mail reforms," for example, expressing a goal to "allow as many Americans as possible to vote from home."  Though vote-by-mail introduces countless risks to election integrity, Democrats have embraced it for reasons that should be obvious.  There is no need to present yourself at the polling location, so there is no need for buses and paid operatives to canvas your neighborhood and talk you into voting.  And if grandma is senile and has no idea what the issues are or who to vote for, and your live-in college student daughter claims to love the Democrat candidate but can't be bothered to go to the polls and vote, why not fill out and mail in their ballots?  That way, your one vote against whatever Republican fascist is on the ballot becomes three votes, lickety-split.  Yay, democracy is saved!

Livestream Cameras Capturing Vote-Count Area Go Dark, Take 8 Hours to Come Back Online.  While Democrats were clinging to slim leads in Arizona and Georgia on Friday (the latter of which will have a runoff election on Dec. 6), an upset appeared to be brewing in the Nevada Senate race.  Republican Adam Laxalt, whom polls showed to be several points behind for much of the campaign, had a slim lead over incumbent Democrat Sen. Catherine Cortez Mastro on Friday morning.  That's good, if you're rooting for a GOP majority.  However, controversy reared its ugly head when a camera issue caused all manner of speculation to run rampant about the Nevada race.  That's bad, regardless of your political affiliation.  Washoe County had been running livestream cameras to show the vote counting taking place at its complex in Reno.  On Wednesday night, those cameras inexplicably went dark, and they remained so until Thursday morning, according to the Reno Gazette-Journal.

New Jersey Mayor Says Ballots Went Missing: 'We Will Not Rest Until We Get to the Bottom of This'.  Robbinsville, New Jersey, Mayor Dave Fried said in a Nov. 9 statement that officials were notified at approximately 5 p.m. that "the ballots of one of our districts had gone missing."  "The fundamentals of Democracy is that every vote would be counted.  Clearly, this has yet to happen in Robbinsville, as approximately 11 percent of our residents' votes have yet to be safely delivered and counted," Fried said.  Fried said officials are working with the county, which is in charge of the election.  "We will not rest until we get to the bottom of this unconscionable mishap, and we will not consider the 2022 election over in Robbinsville until every single ballot is counted and done so securely," he said.

Clark County Will Need Three More Days to Count 50,000 Ballots.  Election officials Clark County, Nevada — the state's most populous county that includes the Las Vegas area — have stated that they will need an additional three days to count upwards of 50,000 outstanding ballots.  Mail-in ballots postmarked prior to election day can be counted if they arrive as late as Saturday, meaning that Nevada does not yet have a final count on the number of outstanding ballots.  The state is home to one of the nation's most closely watched races, as Republican Senate candidate Adam Laxalt currently leads incumbent Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto in a race that could decide the balance of the U.S. Senate candidate.

AP: Stop talking about the Maricopa voting machines, peasants.  The votes from Tuesday are still being tabulated in a number of places since we apparently aren't as smart as France when it comes to counting ballots.  But malfunctions and discrepancies have once again raised suspicions or at least questions about the election equipment being used around the country.  The most glaring example is obviously the breakdown in Maricopa County on Tuesday morning.  The voting machines (we're supposed to call them "tabulators") in dozens of precincts across Arizona's most populous county left people standing in long lines or being "checked out" so they could go find another location to "check" in and hopefully find a functional machine.  Other voters were given provisional ballots to drop into a container with an assurance that election workers would absolutely scan them in when the equipment was back up and running.  But the Associated Press has already leaped into action, warning people on social media not to ask any questions because that would just be dangerous misinformation.

Maricopa County now says counting of ballots won't be done until next week.  Maricopa County officials have shifted the goalposts on when Arizona's largest county will complete the counting process from Tuesday's midterm elections, another inexplicable delay that further drags out a problem-ridden process and undermines voter confidence.  On Thursday, CNN caught up with the chairman of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, Bill Gates, who told a network reporter that there are around 400,000 ballots left and that the job won't be finished until "early next week," keeping the nation in the dark on the critical Senate race that could determine which party controls the upper chamber of Congress as well as whether Republican Kari Lake will be elected as governor with the job of cleaning up the mess that has made the state into a laughingstock.

Harris County officials vow to sort out 2022 election day issues.  Harris County Elections Administrator Clifford Tatum says his team will be working to sort out the issues that caused problems on election day.  Harris County experienced many issues from polling sites opening late, machine malfunctions, and even some polling sites running out of ballots.  Wednesday morning, election workers were still counting emergency ballots at central counting at NRG Arena.  "We will assess our election operations from early voting through election night through today," he said at a Wednesday afternoon presser.  Polling sites were scheduled to open at 7 a.m. but officials said four locations opened late.

Election Livestream Goes Dark At Vote Counting Facility In Key Nevada County.  In order to have some kind of "transparency" many of Nevada's counties have been live-streaming ballot counting.  One of those counties counting ballots while live streaming is Washoe County.  Last night, however, "transparency" went out the window because at 11:24 PM Washoe County's live stream went offline which led to viewers staring at black screens.  [Tweet]

Delayed Results Are Killing Americans' Trust In Elections.  Democrats tried to frame the 2022 midterms as a referendum on Republicans, whom they've branded a "threat to democracy," but the real threat to our nation is how little Americans can trust elections that drag on for days or weeks.  Many Americans already have a hard time believing that although nearly 75 percent of voters think the country is on the wrong track, they chose to keep many of the same crises-causing candidates.  But assuming that discrepancy can be explained by the Democrats' get-out-the-vote machine and other factors, Americans have bigger doubts — namely that three days after polls closed, voters still don't know who controls the House of Representatives and the Senate, nor who will govern several western states.  Thanks to complications on Nov. 8 and hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots to tabulate, Arizona and Nevada aren't expected to deliver their final tabulations until next week.

Three Primary Factors Stopped That Red Wave.  Early voting is the sleeper contributor to last night's losses.  It gives both parties an advance detailed picture of how many people voted, who voted, who is likely to vote but hasn't yet, and what party voters support or belong to.  With all the massive databases out there and modern computers, they have a pretty good idea of how many votes they need to produce to win an election and where to go to get them, days before election day.  Then, all that the parties must do is go round up their laggards and either run them to the polls or lockboxes or collect their ballots.  The Democrats have a huge advantage with legions of union foot soldiers who excel at rounding up their lightly-motivated voters and strong-arming them if necessary.  My experience with leftist voters is that they're more emotional than rational, so the Democrats just need to scare them about some issue, and voila!  They get their votes.

Democratic meddling in GOP primaries paid off in a big way on Election Day.  Democrats' strategy of spending millions to boost pro-Trump candidates in Republican primaries appeared to pay off Tuesday as the party ended the night with a clean sweep of the races in which it chose to meddle.  All six of the Republican candidates who seemingly benefited from the meddling in their primary victories fell to their Democratic opponents.  Those races include a number of key House and gubernatorial races, as well as the New Hampshire Senate race.  Democrats spent more than $40 million boosting those six GOP candidates, all of whom expressed support for former President Donald Trump as a leader of the Republican Party or were backed by him.

The Arizona Voting Machines Disaster in Maricopa County is Even Worse Than We Thought.  Arizona election officials' use of voting machines in Maricopa County has once again cast a dark cloud over a highly contested election.  On Election Day, when most Republicans turn out to vote in elections, it was reported that voting machine problems caused delays in an estimated 20 percent of the polls in Maricopa County.  Kari Lake on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" said that the voting machine delays caused issues in predominately Republican-leaning precincts in Maricopa County.

Democrat New York Election Inspector Deceives Voting System to Secure Official Republican Position at Polling Location.  "If I wanted to work and change the system, from [the inside], I had to be a Republican."  [Video clip]

Tuesday Takeaways.  During the COVID-19 lockdowns, American elections radically changed to mail-in and early voting.  They did so in a wild variety of state-by-state ways.  Add ranked voting and a required majority margin to the mess and the result is that once cherished Election Day balloting becomes increasingly irrelevant.  Election Night also no longer exists.  Returns are not counted for days.  It is intolerable for a modern democracy to wait and wait for all sorts of different ballots both cast and counted under radically different and sometimes dubious conditions.  The Democrats — with overwhelming media and money advantages — have mastered these arts of massive and unprecedented early, mail-in, and absentee voting.  Old-fashioned Republicans count on riling up their voters to show up on Election Day.  But it is far easier to finesse and control the mail-in ballots than to "get out the vote."

NJ County Seeks Inquiry After Dominion Scanners Reject Votes.  The official charged with certifying elections in Mercer County, New Jersey, has asked county Prosecutor Angelo Onofri's office to investigate after as many as 600 Dominion Voting Systems Inc. machines failed to accept ballots on Tuesday. [...] "I absolutely reported it this morning for a complete and full investigation," county clerk Paula Sollami Covello, who attests to results, said in an interview.  "It could have been an error on the part of someone.  It could have been intentional and criminal." The prosecutor's office said it was looking into the issue.

How Could John Fetterman Have Won?  Every Possible Answer Is Bad in a Different Way.  The immediate possibility, of course, is that Fetterman's victory is due to chicanery at the ballot box.  Over at Townhall, Mia Cathell reported Wednesday that "in an undercover video filmed by Project Veritas Action (PVA) journalists at a Philadelphia polling location, Project Veritas founder James O'Keefe alleges that the investigative group's journalists were told whom to vote for mere feet outside of one of the city's polling places.  Two of the interactions were captured on camera."  The person telling voters how to vote was, of course, a Democrat Party operative.  O'Keefe explains, "This is referred to as electioneering."  It's also illegal.  This is striking, but it isn't evidence of large-scale ballot box tampering.  In a clear sign that they suspected they would have to cheat in order to win, the Fetterman camp filed suit the other day to have ballots counted even if they were marked with the wrong date.  But as it turns out, they didn't even need the tainted ballots to put their man over the top.

The New "Normal" Casts Doubt on Election Results.  In 2020, the excuse for long delays in vote-counting, for keeping Republican monitors away from watching the vote-counting, for disregarding state constitutions and long-established election integrity laws, for the use of unverifiable mail-in voting, and the like was the Covid pandemic.  In the 2022 mid-term elections, it appears that Democrats, pleased with how all of that helped them in the last election, want to normalize such practices that cause serious questions about election integrity. [...] It is not surprising that Pennsylvania's Democratic Senate candidate John Fetterman has actually filed a lawsuit to mandate that undated mail-in votes be counted, despite the fact that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court has already ruled recently that they could not be counted.  Furthermore, VOX reported, "We won't know all the midterm results on election night.  That's normal."  If it were just one media source making that argument, then it could be dismissed, but it is almost as though they have circulated a memo to convince Americans that this is the new normal.  But this is not "normal."  In France, for example, all votes are by paper ballot and mail-in votes are not allowed.  And the results are reported within 24 hours.  That is the way it pretty much used to be in the United States.  Writing on Twitter, columnist Auron MacIntyre observed, "They are literally going to tell us every election now that sure it looks like the GOP won but just wait, we'll count the votes until they didn't."

As Usual, I Was Wrong.  [Scroll down] Maricopa County?  A mess as usual.  The secretary of state there, Katie Hobbs, didn't recuse herself and no one forced her to, and so the Democrat running for governor is in charge of the elections across the state.  Apparently, no one saw a problem with that.  We'll see how the race turns out, but, at this writing, Hobbs is ahead.  Kari Lake was 11 points ahead of her in polling.  How did that happen??  Harris County, Texas, is a mess, too.  The Republican part of the county up north, a planned community called Kingwood, ran out of paper ballots.  Now, how does that happen?  This is important because a big race in Harris County, the one for county judge, was won four years ago by the AOC of Texas, Lina Hidalgo.  She's incompetent and corrupt.  Nearly all her advisers are being indicted.  This race was, is crucial.  Right now, Hidalgo has a razor-thin margin.  Voting has been extended in the county to account for the ballots, but who knows?

Righteous outrage builds over Arizona's 'national disgrace' of a voting process.  There is trouble on many fronts in Arizona, where officials are having issues counting votes.  Yet collecting and counting votes is basically the full description of their job.  Republicans are seeing red, as it were, and registering their outrage in interviews and on Twitter.  The problem receiving all the focus is in Maricopa County, which is the most populous county in the state.  About 20% of the polling sites there reportedly had issues with tabulation machines reading ballots.  Believe it or not, the Maricopa County Supervisor's name is Bill Gates.  Gates' crack team of vote counters estimated that about 7% of the votes in the county were affected — about 17,000 ballots.  The tabulators were not the real source of the problem, though.  There was a printing "mishap" that prevented machines from reading them.  The printers were not producing dark enough ink.  Gates apologized.  Sorry about that.

Republicans Have Won 6 Million More Votes than Democrats in House Races, But Gained Relatively Few Seats.  Republicans have won nearly six million more votes nationwide in races for the House of Representatives, but have flipped relatively few seats, suggesting talk of a "red wave" may have anticipated the overall mood of the country but not the final result of the election. [...] The mismatch between overall votes cast for Republicans and the actual result reflects the polarized nature of congressional maps.  It also reflects the fact that Republican losses against many Democratic incumbents were very narrow.  However, it could also suggest that Democrats ran a more effective campaign, concentrating resources where they were needed to defend their vulnerable positions.

Unexplained Ballot Drop in GA Senate Race Likely Prevented Herschel Walker from Winning Race Outright.  The crooks and criminals are stealing US Elections in multiple ways.  One of the biggest ways they stole the 2020 Election for President was the "The Drop and Roll" method.  In the Drop and Roll incidents in the 2020 Election, we identified that at around the point where 90% of the expected ballots were returned, a large batch of ballots was "dropped" with nearly every ballot going to Joe Biden.  These batches were as large as 330,000 ballots for Biden in Virginia at one time.  Then, after that point, nearly all the batches of ballots recorded in the election were at the same ratio of Biden to Trump with Biden always receiving more ballots than President Trump.  These results were not random and clearly not legitimate.

Deceased Pennsylvania State Rep. Reelected in Landslide.  A state lawmaker in Pennsylvania has been reelected to another term in office on Nov. 8 despite already passing away last month.  State Rep. Tony DeLuca, a Democrat, died at age 85 on Oct. 9 due to lymphoma.  The timing of his death was too late for election officials to change the ballots.  DeLuca had served as a representative in the Pennsylvania state legislature for 39 years.  He received more than 85 percent of the vote in the 32nd District in Allegheny County.  This accounted for nearly 14,000 votes on Election Day, and more than 7,000 votes via mail.  DeLuca had served on the House Insurance Committee and the Democratic Policy Committee.  His opponent, Green candidate Queonia "Zarah" Livingston, received roughly 14 percent of the vote.

Florida Counts Votes Swiftly While Other States Slow to a Snail's Pace.  Florida closed out the midterm Tuesday night with swift vote results while other states like Arizona, Alaska, California, etc., slowed to a snail's pace, prompting comparisons to the 2020 election and questions regarding efficiency.  Americans can recall the Bush v. Gore 2000 election when Florida had little to boast about election efficiency as the country waited for weeks between recounts and litigation for a winner to be declared, but 20 years later, that nightmare has been reduced to a distant memory in the Sunshine State.  What changed since then?  As WPTV political analyst Brian Crowley put it after Trump handily won Florida in 2020, it all comes down to the state's investment in the right equipment and its counting of mail-in ballots 22 days before the election.

Democrats' midterm Plan B seems to be working.  Is it just a coincidence that a slew of articles appeared in the nation's socialist media with almost the same storyline to expect delays in election results?  Up until a few days ago, the nation's far left and the nation's socialist media were silent about how long it would take for the midterm results to be resolved.  Then, as someone else noticed, they all published almost identical versions of the same article:  "prepare to wait for election results that could take many days."  Almost all of them within the same narrow timespan: [...] Isn't it curious that this issue suddenly cropped up almost overnight?  If you were suspicious or not very trusting of the socialists of the sinister set that we know and loathe of the nation's left, you would be of the mindset that they waited until the last minute, hoping against hope that they would pull this off, and once it was all falling apart, they would be on to plan B for "ballot."  And it seems to be working.

Pennsylvania Democrat State Representative Reelected Despite Being Dead.  A state lawmaker in Pennsylvania was re-elected on Tuesday despite passing away last month.  Early voting numbers Tuesday indicated that the dead Democrat had a sizable lead over the Green Party challenger.  It's not hard to see why brain-dead Fetterman won in Pennsylvania!  This is a big loss because it may cost the GOP control of the Senate.  But in Pennsylvania, they vote for the party and not for the person they want to represent them!  Late state Rep. Tony DeLuca won his seat in the 32nd District, triggering a special election to fill that seat at a later date, in one of the first state House races called Tuesday night by the Associated Press.  Early voting numbers Tuesday indicated that Mr. DeLuca, a Democrat, had a sizable lead over Green Party challenger Zarah Livingston.  Mr. DeLuca, the longest-serving member of the state House of Representatives, died last month at age 85 from lymphoma.

If voters must be living when they cast a ballot, the candidate should face the same requirement on Election Day.

Win or Lose, Republicans Should Maintain a Healthy Level of Distrust in the Voting System.  I want to start this out by saying there's nothing wrong with distrusting the system that is the gateway to our country's future.  You should.  Having a healthy dose of paranoia around how the system works and operates makes it that much harder for anything to go wrong.  It never sat right with me that it became taboo to even question the 2020 election in mainstream society.  Even if there wasn't any cheating and it really was the "safest election in history" the fact that we weren't allowed to talk about it was only ever going to stoke doubt.  To this day a lot of questions still hang in the air that aren't going answered, and getting angry with people who have these questions says a lot more about the people refusing to answer them than it does the askers.  Right now, there are some very odd things happening in Arizona.  Maricopa county is seeing one in five polling locations experience trouble with their machines.  The fact that gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake went down to a heavily blue area only to find their machines worked fine only makes this look worse.  As of this writing, Maricopa is severely under where it should be in terms of turnout.

Republican-Led States Reject the Intrusion of DOJ Poll Monitoring.  Merrick Garland's Department of Justice informed several state attorneys general that it would be sending election monitors to jurisdictions within their states on Monday.  The memo released the day before Election Day named 64 jurisdictions in 24 states where employees from the DOJ's Civil Rights Division Voting Section, U.S. Attorney's offices, and the Office of Personnel Management will monitor the process. [...] While this activity may have gone on in the past, the DOJ's most recent notice has raised the ire of several states.  Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton appeared on Glenn Beck's radio program yesterday and said he was researching state law to prevent the DOJ from entering polling places.  Early Tuesday morning, the Florida Department of State sent a letter to the DOJ banning the agency's monitors from polling places in the state.  According to the memo, DOJ monitors are not allowed inside polling places under the Florida statute that lists who is allowed in polling places.

This is not normal at all.  Don't let anyone tell you it is.  Seriously: Anyone who tells you this is normal or even temporarily acceptable is lying and probably has an agenda of some kind: [...]["]The Philadelphia City Commissioners voted 2-1 at a special early morning meeting to reinstate a process called "poll book reconciliation," which is designed to eliminate the duplication of in-person votes and those already cast as mail-in or absentee ballots. ... Seth Bluestein, one of the three commissioners, said after the vote that the decision will mean that an estimated 15,000 to 30,000 paper ballots will not be counted on election night so that officials can make sure there is no double counting.["]

Arizona [is being] told to 'prepare' for days of counting.  Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, who is running for governor, told voters to "prepare" to wait days for votes to be counted in this year's midterm elections.  Hobbs, Arizona's top election official, is facing Republican candidate Kari Lake in a closely watched race that has been deemed a toss-up for weeks leading up to Election Day.  "Every single vote matters, and every single vote counts equally — whether you voted by mail, dropped off your ballot at a secure drop box yesterday, or voted in person today," Hobbs said in a statement Tuesday evening.  "We must all be patient and wait for every last vote to be counted."

Thanks to Insane Ranked-Choice Voting, Sarah Palin Has Election Taken from Her Again.  Thanks to the GOP voting in ranked-choice voting, Sarah Palin has election taken from her again.  Sarah Palin deserves a special medal of honor for her attempts to make America a great country.  The former governor of Alaska offered to help the helpless John McCain in his run for President and she was hammered by the media like no politician up to that point in history.  After helping McCain increase his popularity with the public, McCain threw her under the bus when he lost.  This past year, Palin ran for office again, this time for US Rep from Alaska.  She ended up losing the election after the GOP had more votes due to the GOP pushing through ranked choice voting in the state.

'Illegal Electioneering' for PA Dems Fetterman, Shapiro Caught on Camera: Project Veritas.  In an undercover video filmed by Project Veritas Action (PVA) journalists at a Philadelphia polling location, Project Veritas founder James O'Keefe alleges that the investigative group's journalists were told whom to vote for mere feet outside of one of the city's polling places.  Two of the interactions were captured on camera.  "This is referred to as electioneering," O'Keefe asserts.  "This is a Democratic Party form," says a "committee person" whom PVA identifies as Rudy Stewart.  The self-identified committee member presents a stack of papers titled "Official Democratic City Committee Ballot" for the 2022 general election in Philadelphia County.  "Here's the ballot," Stewart says while speaking to an undercover PVA reporter.  At another point in PVA's footage, Stewart states to presumed voters passing through: "Anyone need Democratic Party information?"  Stewart then hands out the material to the passersby.  Later on, pointing to Fetterman's Republican opponent Dr. Mehmet Oz's name listed on a table of Pennsylvania candidates pinned to a wall, Stewart says, "We're scared of him."

Arizona Election Worker Caught On Video Misleading Voters.  In this Maricopa County video, the voter inserts his ballot into the tabulation machine.  The poll worker instructs the voter there is a problem with his ballot.  She explains one or more races have not been marked properly.  The voter admits he made a mistake with the felt pen when marking the ballot.  She influences him to accept the ballot in its current condition.  He just needs to hit the green "Cast" button and his ballot will be accepted.  Because there is a mistake on his ballot, the voter has no idea it will now go to adjudication.  This often takes days.  This voter did have the option to complete a new ballot.  But this was not explained properly.  He needed to hit the red button to "Reject" the ballot.  The tabulating machine would then spit out his ballot.  The polling place spoils this ballot and issues the voter a new one.  Because he was not properly informed, his ballot will go to adjudication.  [Video clip]

Midterm Updates and Silver Linings.  The problem with calling what was to come a Red Wave was always that many races were tight.  Polling was close in Pennsylvania, Georgia, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Nevada.  If GOP victory was to be a near-certainty, then the media would frame anything less as a defeat.  Well, here we are. [...] Arizona remains in play, although the media's consensus is that Democrat Mark Kelly is likely to prevail over Republican Blake Masters.  We're not so sure about that.  Arizona has somehow only counted 68% of its ballots as of noon Eastern — an achievement worthy of the third-world — and Masters performed well on election day.  It'll be close.  But complicating matters is the fact that Maricopa County has 275,000 early ballots they have yet to count.  (That is only part of Maricopa County's problems, which included non-functioning voting machines that likely disenfranchised thousands.)

The Left's 'Red Mirage' Narrative Is Nothing More Than A Cover For Election-Rigging.  On the eve of Election Day, when a red wave is expected to sweep the country, Democrats and their allies in the corporate press ramped up their propaganda campaign to normalize delayed election results.  Prepare for a "red mirage," they warned.  It was a coordinated effort across corporate media.  Headlines ranged from "Why The 2022 Midterm Election Results Might Not Be Known Right Away" (CBS News) to "Be patient: this election is probably going to go on awhile" (NPR) to "We won't know all the midterm results on election night.  That's normal" (Vox) and finally this kicker from ABC:  "Early election night results might not indicate final tallies (and why that's ok)."  Note ABC News' framing, which posits that while early election night results might point to a red wave (as polls overwhelmingly suggest), it will all be a "mirage" as Democrats will catch up to (and surpass) their opponents once mail-in and absentee ballots are calculated in the coming days.

WH, Dems, media lapdogs out in force parroting narrative it will take days, or weeks to count votes.  WHY?  The Biden administration, Democrats, and the leftist media are all out in force repeatedly telling Americans it will take days if not weeks to count the votes and that it has always been that way.  The Washington Post, for example, is bleating, "Results are not official on Election Day.  States often take weeks to announce the final results."  But that is a recent development created by Democrats instituting mail-in voting and other political shenanigans to give them an edge in competitive races.  "You may see stories or social media posts Tuesday evening that declare winners.  But even in this time of powerful computers and other speedy technology, the election process isn't completed in a few hours or the next day," the leftist media outlet proclaimed.  White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre insisted at a press conference, "We may not know all the winners of elections for a few days.  It takes time to count all legitimate ballots in a legal and orderly manner.  That's how this is supposed to work."

The Editor says...
No, Election Day is supposed to be one day, and it should take a maximum four or five hours to count all the votes.  Any votes that are "found" after midnight on Election Day should not be counted.  Count every legal vote.  Count every legitimate vote from living U.S. citizens who are properly registered to vote, and exclude all other ballots.

Judge Orders Pennsylvania County Polling Sites to Stay Open Late Due to Paper Shortages.  A judge in Pennsylvania's Luzerne County ordered all polling sites to remain open for two additional hours after paper shortages cropped up during the midterm elections.  Court of Common Pleas Judge Lesa Gelb entered the order after hearing from county officials, who lodged a petition on Nov. 8 for extended hours.  "Voters in Luzerne County through no fault of their own, were disenfranchised and denied the fundamental right to vote," Gelb said in her order, which was made "in an effort to protect and maintain the integrity of the 2022 General Election and to protect the voters of this County."  The sites, originally slated to remain open until 8 p.m., were ordered to remain open until 10 p.m.

Illinois County Clerk Reports Cyber Attacks on Servers, Voters Asked to 'Stay in Line'.  Authorities in Champaign County, Illinois, said Tuesday that a cyberattack is affecting server performance during the 2022 midterm elections.  The Champaign County Clerk's Office said it is "is aware of connectivity issues and computer server performance being impacted.  The Clerk's Office believes these are due to cyber-attacks on the network and servers," according to a statement posted on social media on Tuesday afternoon.  The office said its websites have been subject to distributed denial-of-service, or DDOS, attacks for the past month.  "Fortunately the reinforced security and response from the Clerk's IT team has prevented these attacks from being successful and the Clerk's website has remained secured," it said.  "No data or information has been compromised and the election is secure."

More Reports Flood In About Dominion Voting Machine Malfunctions In Texas, New Jersey.  Republicans are becoming heavily skeptical as reports begin flooding in about Dominion voting machines being "broken," "down," and "not warmed up yet" across the county.  Three areas with the most reports include Arizona, Texas, and New Jersey.  Which are posed to hold very tight elections.  Maricopa County, the most populous county in Arizona, is already facing issues with voters turning in their ballots.  In one now viral video, a poll worker is shown informing a line of Arizonans waiting to cast their vote that their two tabulators are not working properly.

Florida Rejects DOJ Plan to Place Monitors Inside Voting Locations.  U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) workers are not allowed inside polling locations, a Florida official has told the agency.  Brad McVay, general counsel for the Florida Department of State, told DOJ election official John Russ that Florida law does not permit DOJ monitors to be stationed inside of polling places after the DOJ announced it would monitor compliance with federal voting laws in three Florida counties.  "Earlier today, the Florida Department of State received copies of your letters to Miami-Dade and Broward Counties in which you seem to indicate that the Department of Justice will send monitors inside polling places in these counties.  We also understand you sent a similar letter to Palm Beach County," McVay wrote in a letter.  "But Department of Justice monitors are not permitted under Florida law."

Did Sunny Hostin just admit on air to breaking the law by voting for her son?  Sunny Hostin, cohost of The View, set off a flurry of questions after admitting Tuesday on the ABC daytime talk show that she voted absentee ballot for her son.  The liberal harpies on the show were doing their part to disparage the voting process in the midterm elections, setting the stage for questioning the legitimacy of what is widely expected to be a Republican rout, where even in New York there's a possibility that GOP challenger Lee Zeldin will defeat Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul.  At one point, co-host Whoopie Goldberg reprimanded Hostin for being on her smartphone, telling her colleague, "Put that phone down, girl!  God bless you."  "It's my son," Hostin replied.  "Who by the way wanted to make sure that his absentee ballot was — that I did that.  And I had trouble actually voting for him, absentee ballot today, that made me very concerned." [...] Of course, there is a lot of ambiguity in her remarks, but in saying she was "voting for him" Hostin opened up the critical question of who filled out the ballot.  A question some on social media jumped to answer, suggesting that she admitted on air that she broke the law — given what little is known, it's impossible to say for certain that she did.  She may have been just dropping off a ballot her son had already completed.

Did Sunny Hostin just admit to illegally voting on behalf of her son on live TV?  So, I may not be a legal expert, but Sunny Hostin just went on live TV saying she voted FOR her son and complained about the process of turning in his ballot. [...] I know you can drop off someone else's ballot, which would make Hostin a ballot harvester.  But she says she voted FOR him.  That's something else entirely.  Why can't Sunny Hostin's adult son mail in his own absentee ballot?  Why does his mom have it?  Did he actually fill it out?  Who signed the envelope?

Incidentally, syndicated TV shows are almost never shown "live," even if the programs are represented as such, and have "Live" in the title, e.g., Live with Regis and Kelly, or whatever that show is called now.  As far as I know, the only live television shows are network sports coverage and local newscasts — and even some of the local news shows are pre-recorded.

Maricopa County Says It's Found a Solution for Tabulation Issues, Blames Printer.  Authorities in Maricopa County, Arizona, said they appeared to have found a solution to tabulation issues in dozens of polling stations in the county.  Earlier Tuesday, election officials during a 10 a.m. ET news conference said that tabulators in about 20 percent of polling sites in Maricopa County were malfunctioning.  According to election officials, the problem did not prevent people from casting their ballots saying voters could deposit the ballot in a drop box.  At around 4 p.m. ET, a statement released by the Maricopa County Elections Command Center said officials "identified a solution" to the problem and said "printer settings" were the cause.  "County technicians have changed the printer settings at about 60 Vote Centers," the statement said.  "It appears some of the printers were not producing dark enough timing marks on the ballots," it added, saying the solution worked at 17 locations so far.  Officials said technicians are now working to resolve the issue around Maricopa County, which includes Arizona's most populous city, Phoenix.

The Editor says...
If the printers have problems of this sort, they should have been discovered when the entire system was tested a few days ago.  I mean, the entire system was tested, wasn't it?

The Fix Is In: Democrat John Fetterman Tells Reporters to "Buckle Up" Because Ballot Counting Process Could Take "Several Days".  Democrat Pennsylvania Senate candidate John Fetterman said in a memo to reporters to "buckle up for a long week" because the ballot counting process could take "several days."  Why?  The only reason why Democrats need to count ballots for several days after Election Day is to overcome the Republican candidate's vote count and steal the election.  Fetterman used the 2020 election as an example in his memo to reporters and recalled how Trump was ahead by more than 700,000 votes at midnight on Election Day in Pennsylvania but still lost after the Democrats counted ballots in secret for Joe Biden for 2 weeks.

The Fix Is In — Election Day Tabulators Across Maricopa County Are Not Working Again.  Multiple videos that we received this morning show long lines in Anthem, Arizona with poll workers explaining that the Maricopa County machines are not working.  Instead of tabulating their ballot directly, voters are being told to put their ballot into a box under the tabulator so that their ballot may be tabulated at a later time downtown.  Voters are told to just drop their ballot into the open door seen below.  [Video clip]

The water main break has been postponed until 7:15 p.m.
All Voting Machines Down in Mercer County, NJ.  Election irregularities have been reported across Maricopa County, Arizona, and now all voting machines are also reportedly down in Mercer County, New Jersey.  Because elections have never been more safe and secure.  Action News on 6abc tweeted, "#BREAKING All voting macines are down in each district across Mercer County, New Jersey, according to officials.  Voters can still vote using a standard ballot at their polling locations."  6abc's article said, "More than a quarter of the state's [NJ] House seats are considered competitive."  Machine malfunctions wouldn't by any chance help stem a potential red wave, would they?

Arizonans Report Issues With 'Broken' Dominion Voting Machines.  Maricopa County, the most populous county in Arizona, is already facing issues with voters turning in their ballots.  In one now viral video, a poll worker is shown informing a line of Arizonans waiting to cast their vote that their two tabulators are not working properly.

168,000 Georgians Moved Right Before The Midterms.  How Many Will Vote Illegally This Time?  Evidence gathered since 2020 indicates more than 12,000 Georgians may have cast illegal ballots in that presidential election.  A repeat analysis just completed on voter files shows thousands of residency issues involving Georgia voters, indicating a potential repeat of the illegal voting scenario in this year's midterm elections, according to an expert on voter data analysis.  While early efforts to bolster election integrity following the 2020 election have proved successful, much work remains.  Until that happens, the public will continue to question election results — and rightly so.  On Tuesday, voters across America will have a final chance to cast ballots for the 2022 midterm elections.  With control of the House and Senate at stake, several battleground states such as Georgia will find themselves in the spotlight again.

Here Are The States Where Election Machine Failures Are Reported So Far.  Reports of voting machine malfunctions are happening all over the US, from the west coast to the east coast.  For starters, Maricopa County is reporting broken voting machines in Anthem, which is said to be the 'deep red' part of Maricopa County:  Instead of tabulating their ballot directly, voters are being told to put their ballot into a box under the tabulator so that their ballot may be tabulated at a later time downtown.  Voters are told to just drop their ballot into the open door.  [Video clip]

Maricopa County Confirms Tabulators Are Malfunctioning on Election Day.  Authorities in Maricopa County, Arizona, confirmed Tuesday morning at a news conference that around 20 percent of the vote centers in the county are experiencing issues.  "In about 20 percent of the vote centers ... when people will go and try to run the ballot through this tabulator, maybe one out of every five or so, of those ballots are not going through," said Maricopa Board of Supervisors Chair Bill Gates.  "It's not like both of the tabulators in these 20 percent of locations are having these issues.  It might only be one."  Gates said that the problem is not preventing people from casting their ballot, saying that voters can deposit their ballot in a drop box.

Fetterman Campaign Sues Pennsylvania Election Officials To Have Ballots Without Dates And Incorrect Dates Counted.  Pennsylvania Democratic lieutenant governor John Fetterman's U.S. Senate campaign filed a lawsuit Monday against state election officials, arguing that mail ballots with an incorrect or blank date should be counted in Tuesday's election.  Plaintiffs have asked a federal judge to order all mail ballots to be counted regardless of the date voters pen on the envelope.  The lawsuit comes a week after the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that officials should set aside and not count mail ballots with an incorrect or empty date.

Does Joe Biden Know The Fix Is In?  On November 3, 2020, as election night rolled into election morning, Jill and Joseph Biden walked out alone on stage to stand before a crowd of brand-new Jeeps.  "We feel good about where we are.  We really do," Joe Biden said to the occasional honk from the vehicles. [...] Yet, in the wee hours of the morning, here was Biden, standing confident.  "Feeling good... We really are.  We are still in the game in Georgia, although, that's not one we expected," Biden says and smirks slyly at the time.  "Feeling real good about Wisconsin and Michigan.  And by the way — it's going to take time to count the votes, but we are going to win Pennsylvania.  Talking to the folks in Philly, Allegheny county, and Scranton and they're really encouraged by the turnout and what they see...."  At the time, Biden was down by 700,000 votes in Pennsylvania with vote counting "paused" until the morning.  And yet here he was, smiling that crooked Cheshire cat smile.  Saying unequivocally that they were going to win.  How did he know?  It is fair to say that people had questions even before Donald Trump insinuated that there might have been funny business at hand.

Chaos in Pennsylvania voting Already: Voters line-up to fix mistakes after Supreme Court ruled inaccurate ballots will be thrown out.  Pennsylvania voters lined up for hours last night to fix voided mail-in and absentee ballots in a last-ditch effort to sway one of the closest races in the country between Democrat John Fetterman and Republican Mehmet Oz.  At Philadelphia City Hall, voters lined up for three hours to ensure their votes would be counted after a Supreme Court ruling last week canceled 3,800 mail-in and absentee ballots across the state.  Republicans have sued all over the country to cancel mailed votes that do not have dates written on their envelopes.

ABC News Explains Why a "Red Mirage" Will Occur Tuesday — Reveals Which States Democrats Are Going to Try to Steal.  ABC News explained why a "Red Mirage" will occur Tuesday on Election Day.  "[Republican candidates'] leads will dwindle, or crumble completely, after perceived "dumps" of votes are recorded by state election officials who count mail-in and absentee ballots in the days — or even weeks — following Election Day." ABC News said.  ABC News revealed which states the Democrats are going to steal with post-Election Day ballot counting.  "[The Red Mirage is] likely to occur in some of the same states where the phenomenon presented itself last cycle — in states like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin — battleground states that also happen to feature some of the most hotly-contested races of the election season." ABC News said.

Pennsylvania Voters Line Up to Cast New Ballots as GOP Loses Lawsuit to Block Voters From Fixing Mail-In Ballots with Incorrect Dates.  Pennsylvania voters are lining up to cast new ballots after GOP efforts to block voters from fixing errors on their mail-in ballots failed.  The Pennsylvania Supreme Court last week invalidated thousands of ballots because of incorrect or missing dates.  Thousands of Pennsylvania voters were notified of the errors and given a chance to fix their ballots.  The line at City Hall in Philadelphia 'snaked outside the building,' according to the Washington Post.

Why Wait?  Fetterman Sues in Federal Court to Force PA to Count Undated Ballots.  Should mail-in-votes that are undated or incorrectly dated be counted in Tuesday's midterm elections?  Common sense, state law, and a Pennsylvania court all say "no," but Democrat Senate wannabe John Fetterman thinks otherwise and took his case to court Monday.  Fetterman, who's in a tight race (notice I didn't say "neck and neck") with Republican candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz, joined the Democrats' U.S. House and Senate campaign arms and two Democratic voters to sue in a federal court in Pittsburgh, arguing that the handwritten date requirement is a burden and an attempt at voter suppression.

Watch for delayed election results.  The polls all say the same thing: Republicans will reclaim the House and Senate.  The Republicans know this.  The Democrats know this.  And most alarming, the political operatives know this. [...] What should concern Republicans now, given that victory is within reach?  Cheating.  The Democrats cheated their way into power in 2020, so look for some of the same techniques employed to rear their ugly heads again.

After the Election.  Barring a 3 A.M. multi-million ballot dump, the Republican Party is set to take control of both the House and the Senate.  From this result, I foresee two scenarios unfolding. [...] First and foremost, they'll blame their Useful Idiot, and before 2024 they'll [replace him] to make way for a more cognizant sock puppet.  They'll blame Big Tech for not sufficiently censoring "misinformation."  They'll blame suburban white women.  They'll blame nonexistent voter suppression.  They'll blame white supremacy, transphobia, and ableism.

Dem poll worker ejected for pre-selecting 'straight Dem ticket' on voting machine, calling Rs 'racist'.  An Indiana election office reportedly ejected a Democrat poll worker over allegations that he had pressured poll-goers against voting for certain candidates and even pre-selected Democratic candidates on a voting machine last week, local election officials told Fox News.  The incidents took place at a polling place in Carmel, Indiana, under the Hamilton County Election Office.  Hamilton County election administrator Beth Sheller declined to confirm the poll worker's identity in an interview with Fox News Digital, but detailed a report from the inspector at the polling location.  Sheller stated that the inspector had learned of two separate incidents that may constitute electioneering and election interference.  The poll worker, first identified by Chalkboard Review executive director Tony Kinnett as James Zheng, is now reportedly being investigated by the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office, and Sheller says she hopes to see Zheng prosecuted.

Biden Makes It Official: Grand Theft Election II is On.  Since this "Big Lie" puts "our democracy ... under threat," Hunter's proud papa called for voters to be "patient" for "a few days" of vote delays.  Why?  He was preparing Americans for a repeat of the uncertainty that followed the last election while "all legitimate (read: manufactured) ballots" are counted in a "legal and orderly fashion" (meaning: in the dark of night with observers held at a distance) and Democrats are declared winners in multiple races within the margin of error.  The most likely settings for such shenanigans?  Exactly the same as in 2020:  Philly (Oz-Fetterman).  Atlanta (Walker-Warnock).  Detroit (Dixon-Whitmer).  Milwaukee (Michels-Evers).  Phoenix (Masters-Kelly).  And now, with accidental Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul stumbling neck-and-neck to the finish line against GOP challenger Lee Zeldin, let's add New York City for good measure.  2020 isn't the only time the Democrats have gotten down with this particular dance.  A week after the razor-thin 2008 Minnesota U.S. Senate election, the Wall Street Journal noted, "When Minnesotans woke up last Wednesday, Republican Senator Norm Coleman led (comedian Al) Franken by 725 votes.  By that evening, he was ahead by only 477.  As of yesterday, Mr. Coleman's margin stood at 206.  This lopsided bleeding of Republican votes is passing strange considering that the official recount hasn't even begun."

Detroit Election Officials Signed 2020 Contract to Use China-Linked Konnech Systems to Mass Scan Absentee Ballots and Check Ballot Signatures.  Michigan Judge the Honorable Timothy M. Kenny recently held a hearing on signature validation in overseas ballots.  During the hearing in the 3rd Circuit Court of MI Judge Kenny repeatedly berated Attorney Dan Hartman and allowed the defense lawyer David Fink to go off on political rants about "right-wing fever dreams" and "election deniers." (around the 3 hour mark)  Attorney Fink accused Hartman of racism despite the fact that the lawsuit was filed by Kristina Karamo who is a black female conservative running for Secretary of State in Michigan.  Detroit Election Consultant Chris Thomas explained during the hearing how mailed absentee ballot signatures are verified.  When Hartman asked how Detroit verifies signatures on ballots emailed to military overseas, Judge Kinney blew up at him and suggested he was attempting to disenfranchise the votes of military members, adding that he has a son who served 5 years overseas, which of course, had no relevance to the case.  This was a bogus argument.

USPS District Mgr Confirms:  MI SOS Jocelyn Benson LIED When She Claimed It's "Normal" and "Legal Activity" For Postal Workers to Drop Stacks of Absentee Ballots Into Drop Boxes.  On June 13, The Gateway Pundit and 100 Percent Fed Up released Detroit drop box surveillance footage showing a US Postal worker wearing credentials around his neck and wearing what appears to be blue jeans, exiting an official US Post Office vehicle with a large stack of ballots.  The ballots were deposited on October 26, 2020, SIX days before the general election.  As he leaves the US Postal vehicle, the passenger heads to the absentee ballot drop box, where he drops multiple ballots into the drop box while discreetly using his cell phone to take photos or a video of his activity.  He's holding the cell phone in his hand in the screenshot below.  [Not shown here.]  The incident occurred at a drop box in front of the Liberty Temple Baptist Church at 1300 E. Seven Mile in Detroit.  There is a US Post Office located only two miles away from the drop box used by the passenger of the US Postal vehicle.

Election "Deniers" are Election Realists.  The mainstream media would have us think that to believe the 2020 election was stolen, you must be a fringe character, a person who'd protest with a painted face beneath a fur hat and horns.  But a new poll reflects a very different reality:  Americans are more likely than not to believe the 2020 presidential contest was rigged or stolen.  In fact, it's people who insist that the election was valid and can't imagine how anyone could suppose otherwise who are quite the minority — less than a quarter of the nation.

Florida woman arrested by election crimes unit, faces felony charges for voting in two states.  The new Florida election crimes unit is on the job sniffing out fraud with the all-important midterm elections only days away and has announced the arrest of a woman who faces felony charges for casting ballots in two states in the same election cycle.  On Friday, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement announced that 55-year-old Cheryl Ann Leslie of Loxahatchee, a registered Democrat, was charged with voting in both Florida and Alaska in the 2020 state and federal primary elections.

The Editor says...
How many people visit (or reside in) both Florida and Alaska in the same year?

If Republicans Win On Tuesday, Thank The Election Integrity Movement.  If Republican candidates do as well as expected on Tuesday, they can credit the new, widespread, and coordinated effort to begin securing U.S. elections, helping give candidates the best opportunity possible to win a fair fight in the new voting environment of mail-in balloting.  The Republican National Committee, other party entities, and dozens of public interest election nonprofit groups built over the last two years a multimillion-dollar election integrity infrastructure that passed laws improving voter ID and other election security measures, defended those laws from legal attacks by Democrats, and sued states and localities that failed to follow the law.  They also recruited, educated, trained, and placed tens of thousands of new election observers and other workers throughout the long midterm voting season.  And they did it all in one of the most hostile propaganda environments on record.

Absentee Ballot Fraud Uncovered in Battleground State, Election Worker Has Been Fired.  Absentee ballot fraud has been uncovered in a 2022 midterms battleground state.  The alleged plot involves a Milwaukee election official requesting military ballots and sending them to a Republican lawmaker.  A Milwaukee election official could face criminal charges accusing her of fraudulently requesting absentee ballots reserved for members of the military.  "Milwaukee Election Commission Deputy Director Kimberly Zapata, 45, of South Milwaukee was fired by Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson this week after Johnson discovered she had requested the ballots," the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.

The Big Lie about 'The Big Lie'.  With only a few days left until the 2022 midterms, Newsweek laments a new poll by Redfield and Wilton Strategies showing that 40 percent of Americans still believe that the 2020 presidential election was "rigged or stolen."  This is presented as a shocking revelation about the number of Americans who still buy into the "Big Lie," despite its "being proven false," according to the article.  Newsweek buries this particular poll's more interesting observations.  For example, only 36 percent of respondents disagree that the 2020 election was rigged or stolen.  Of that group, more than one in three find it "understandable" that others might believe that the election was rigged or stolen.  Another 15 percent of respondents neither agreed nor disagreed, and 8 percent signified that they "didn't know." [...] A far more accurate way to characterize these data, though, is to recognize that there are more Americans confident that the election was rigged than there are Americans who are confident that it was all on the up and up. [...] After a lifetime of being accustomed to, except in very rare and localized instances, elections being decided on Election Day, it was demanded that we accept, without question, the unprecedented circuit breaker that we witnessed on Election Night in several key states.  We watched helplessly as the outcome shifted to conform with the presaged and oft-parroted notion of a "red mirage," with each new batch of undiscovered-and-uncounted-on-election-night ballots that became newly-discovered-and-totally-legitimate votes in the Democrat cities of crucial swing states, like Philadelphia, Atlanta, Milwaukee, and Detroit, in the days following.

We Must Restore America's Faith in Its Elections.  A Monmouth University poll released in late September 2022 found that fully one-third (32%) of all Americans and 61% of Republicans still believe election interference was the cause of Donald Trump's defeat — despite 23 months of non-stop and increasingly threatening media propaganda, a ludicrous Congressional show trial of "mostly peaceful" election protesters, and even calls by Democrat politicians to make questioning election results a crime.  According to a 2021 Rasmussen Reports survey, fully 56% of respondents said "it's likely that cheating affected the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, including 41% who said it's 'very likely.'"  These are the incalcitrant "election deniers" Joe Biden has denounced as "semi-fascists" and a "threat to democracy" — including nearly 300 candidates for elected office across America.  How can people hold such a ludicrous opinion, especially when every corporate-owned news outlet in America, and dozens of courts and citizen-watch organizations, insist the opposite; namely, that America's elections have never been more secure and fair?

Arizona State Senator Sonny Borrelli Says The 2020 Election Was "Uncertifiable".  Arizona State Senator Sonny Borrelli appeared on Steve Bannon's War Room today following yesterday's bombshell presentation on voter fraud in the 2020 Election.  Borrelli reviewed the findings from yesterday with Steve Bannon, and he said the 2020 election in Arizona was "uncertifiable." [...] A team in Maricopa County reviewed voter registration forms and compared them with signatures on over 100,000 ballot envelopes, and they identified a staggering 20% error rate in signature verification.

Wisconsin Court Shoots Down Attempt to Change Rules for Absentee Ballots Before Midterms.  A Wisconsin judge on Wednesday dealt a blow to a group in the state who hoped to change rules governing absentee ballots, denying their request that local election clerks accept absentee ballots that contain partial addresses of witnesses.  Dane County Circuit Judge Juan Colas said in his ruling that in the past 56 years that Wisconsin elections have been conducted, and absentee ballots counted, they have apparently been done so "without a legally binding definition of the witness address."  The judge noted that the nearly 60 years of precedent was enough to determine whether an absentee ballot has enough of a witness address to count.

The Midterm Election Rigging Is Underway.  Election Day results, like clean streets and easily available products in supermarkets, have become artifacts of a recent glorious past.  Don't count on finding eggs and milk at the market or finding out who won the election on Election Day.  The 2022 midterms, like the 2020 elections, are a work in progress that will, one day, when the right ballots are found, elect somebody.  Acting Secretary of State Leigh Chapman, the leftist election rigging activist appointed by Gov. Tom Wolf, warned that it will take days to determine who won.  At a "virtual press conference", the virtual election boss, who hasn't actually been confirmed by the legislature, warned that it would take "several days worth of work" to determine who won what.  And who didn't.  Chapman, a veteran of The Advancement Project, funded by Soros and the Ford Foundation, which worked against voter ID rules to stop voter fraud, and Let America Vote, a leftist group to eliminate election security regulations, urged voters to "feel confident in our election system and in the final results." Nothing creates confidence in an election system like a radical partisan activist being put in charge of it and then warning that the FBI will target any critics.

Biden Says We Won't Know the Results of the Midterm Election Until Days After Polls Close November 8th.  It would appear that national democrats are setting the stage for fraudulent ballot collection again.  During his insufferable remarks today about Democracy vs. Autocracy, a speech fraught with cognitive dissonance, Joe Biden proactively warns Americans that the results from the midterm election will not be known until days after the election takes place.  [Video clip]

The Fix Is In: Joe Bidens Warns Americans Several Races Will Not Be Called for Several Days After the Election So "Be Patient".  In an unprecedented move, Joe Biden used the Office of the President to smear Republicans just days before the 2022 midterm election.  It was 25 straight minutes of attacks on President Trump, Republicans, MAGA supporters, and the American people.  This was Joe Biden's attempt to move the needle before the elections next week.  At one point during his speech, Joe Biden warned Americans that it will take several days to call the elections.

The latest scheme to rig elections In Michigan.  The witches brew of election rigging continues to bubble over.  Michigan citizens will soon decide the fate of election integrity and security in their state as the Nov. 8 mid-term election approaches.  Proposal 2, known as the Right to Voting Policies Amendment or more commonly, the Promote the Vote initiative, is a cauldron of potential election malfeasance.  If it passes, it will become embedded in the state constitution.  We have previously discussed egregious aspects of this proposal.  However, one little known aspect of Proposal 2 is that it would permit the combining of precincts together through absentee voter counting boards.  This would result in the loss of precinct level results.

Biden to deliver unscheduled DNC speech at Union Station near Capitol.  President Biden will deliver remarks on "preserving and protecting our democracy" at a Democratic National Committee event in Washington, D.C., White House officials and the DNC said Wednesday.  The president is scheduled to speak at 7 p.m. ET at the Columbus Club in Union Station, where he will address "the threat of election deniers and those who seek to undermine faith in voting and democracy," according to a DNC advisory.

A New York Judge Strikes A Mighty Blow For Election Integrity Against Corrupt State Government.  New York is the state many conservatives love to hate because of its stridently anti-Second Amendment laws and public policies (most recently, reflected in a new law undermining the recent U.S. Supreme Court's Bruen decision that declared unconstitutional the state's century-old Sullivan Law that made it next to impossible for a law-abiding citizen to obtain a concealed carry permit).  However, an Oct. 21 decision from Saratoga County trial court Judge Dianne Freestone, reminds us that even in the dark "blue" state of New York, reason can prevail, despite the overwhelmingly Democrat state legislature, the ultra-liberal governor, and the far-left wing state attorney general.  The judge's decision resulted from a constitutional challenge to an absentee voting law passed by the legislature in Jan. 2022.

The Democrats' 'election denier' sophistry.  [Scroll down] The editor at the Erie Times starts out promisingly when he begins by admitting that "The term election denier is a loaded one, but the definition isn't always clear."  That is correct.  Will the Erie Times will provide a neutral (fair) definition of "election denialism"?  On the contrary, the editor explains that "it's important to define it for the purposes of this USA TODAY package detailing candidates ... we've labeled 'election deniers.'"  That is, the editor narrows down the range of "election deniers" to "this year".  Miraculously, therefore, the expression does not apply to Al Gore in 2000, Hillary Clinton in 2016 or Stacy Abrams in 2018!"  None of them, by definition, have committed the unforgivable sin of "election denialism". [...] In addition, an "election denier" is, by definition, a Trump supporter in 2020!  How convenient!  The Democrats win automatically.  No questions, no investigations, no discussions and, most of all, no free speech permitted in this case.  Just check the dictionary!  Case closed!

Election fraud deniers at the Wall Street Journal.  A number of election fraud deniers, including the Editors of The Wall Street Journal, have been committing serial cognitive dissonance.  In a series of editorials, the Journal's Editors have, on the one hand, claimed there is "no evidence" of massive voter fraud and that everyone questioning the legitimacy of the 2020 election should be quiet and stop indulging in the "big lie".  On the other hand, however, they have admitted that there were numerous irregularities that need to be addressed, in particular the fact that in State after State, including all the crucial swing States, the rules were changed at the behest of the Democrats without the approval of the State legislatures.  Bypassing the legislatures is illegal and unconstitutional.  By what logic is the conduct of an election by illegal rules not massive election fraud?

Voter Attempts to Drop Off Ballot and Finds Keys Left Inside the Lock of the County Ballot Drop-Off Box.  We're already seeing an example of either gross negligence or deliberate tomfoolery regarding early voting.  This morning we received a video from California where we can see that a voter in Woodland Hills finds both keys to the ballot drop box in the locks when dropping off the ballot.  The voter did the right thing and called it in, an hour + later the keys were still in the same spot.

PA Supreme Court Rules Undated Mail Ballots Can't Be Counted.  The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Tuesday sided with an argument made by Republicans in their lawsuit seeking to prevent the counting of improperly completed ballots in next week's general election, throwing out a lower court's ruling that would have allowed PA election officials to count absentee and mail-in ballots that were not correctly dated and signed.  PA's Supreme Court justices vacated the 3rd US Circuit Court of Appeals' decision that would have allowed the counting of ballots that were not completed as the Keystone State election laws require, and ruled that the "Pennsylvania county boards of elections are hereby ordered to refrain from counting any absentee and mail-in ballots received for the November 8, 2022 general election that are contained in undated or incorrectly dated outer envelopes."

True the Vote founder Catherine Engelbrecht, former board member Arrested for not outing informant.  True the Vote leaders Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips were taken into custody by US Marshalls on Monday for refusing to identify a confidential informant to a judge.  Federal Judge Kenneth Hoyt found both of them in contempt of court after they declined to out the informant, according to independent journalist Ivory Hecker. [...] The judge ordered that Engelbrecht and Phillips be held in custody for at least 24 hours or until they give up the informant, according to The Post Millennial.

Catherine Englebrecht and Gregg Phillips [have been] Put in Jail for Refusing to Outline Sources Who Revealed Konnech U.S. Election Data Transfer to China.  True the Vote founder Catherine Englebrecht and election data security analyst, Gregg Phillips, have been held in contempt of court and placed in jail for failing to outline the participants in a 2020 hotel discussion that revealed the Konnech election data compromise that was transmitted to Chinese networks.  On October 4th, the CEO of Konnech — a company specializing in proprietary PollChief software to manage election workers — was arrested.  Konnech Corporation Chief Executive Officer Eugene Yu was arrested for exploiting access to U.S. election data, including election worker information, and transferring the files to China.  The information that led to Yu's arrest was the information given to the FBI and first revealed to Englebrecht and Phillips.  However, the Konnech corporation filed a civil lawsuit against Englebrecht and Phillips claiming defamation.  A Texas federal judge allowed the civil lawsuit to continue despite the arrest of Eugene Yu.

When is a fact check not a fact check?  The story was big:  Pennsylvania had sent 255,000 mail-in ballots to unverified voters.  The basis for this claim was the fact that the statewide computer system showed that 255,000 mail-in ballots that had already been mailed had the designation "NV" or "not verified."  The AP countered this claim with a "fact check" claiming this assertion is False.  Except that, when you read through the AP article, Republicans are correct:  255,000 mail-in and absentee ballots went to people who did not prove their identity at the time they applied for those ballots. [...] The AP rates the story as "false," but then, through a wall of words, proceeds to validate the claim. [...] The greatest likelihood is that ballots will come in and, whether they were verified or not, counties will treat them as valid.

The 'Big Lie'? A Democrat forte.  Democrat Stacey Abrams still purports to believe she won the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial race.  Abrams, who lost by more than 50,000 votes, once told Axios that she doesn't want the American people to be in a place "where we cannot legitimately question" and criticize voting systems in order to improve them.  Try to "legitimately question" the 2020 presidential election, and you will be kicked off social media, labeled a "denier," otherwise ostracized, canceled, and labeled in need of psychiatric attention.  Democrats were sure that the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections were stolen from them by way of Republican shenanigans.  And they spent years telling us all that Trump stole the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton with the aid of those damn Russians.  Corruption was rampant, election integrity nonexistent.  There was no other way Trump could have beaten Hillary, you see.  Yet, they boldly assert that the 2020 presidential election was accurate [...]

Pennsylvania's Department of State Has Sent Out 249,000 Ballots to Unverified Voters in 2022 Election.  In Pennsylvania, the Department of State has allowed at least 249,000 unverified voters to receive mail-in ballots for the 2022 general election, owing to an odd process for verifying the identity of those requesting mail-in ballots, where people vote first and verify their identification later.  The Department of State also recently changed directives for county election boards, creating procedural confusion and drawing fire from 15 Pennsylvania House members in the form of a letter demanding that the department immediately correct its guidance and tell counties they may not count the ballots of unverified voters until proof of ID is received.  There are two things to know about voter registration.  First, the state must follow the federal Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA), a law that requires anyone registering to vote in federal elections to provide identification in the form of a driver's license number or the last four digits of their Social Security number.  And second, HAVA requires that states verify the accuracy of the information provided by the applicant by matching their ID information to the state motor vehicle database or the federal Social Security number verification system.

Two leaders of True the Vote jailed by federal judge for contempt of court.  Federal marshals escorted the leaders of True the Vote out of a Houston courtroom on Monday morning and into a holding cell.  Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips have been held in contempt of court for refusing to release the name of a person of interest in the defamation and computer hacking case against them, who they claim, without proof, is a confidential FBI informant.  They will remain in jail until they release the name of the man.

2000 Mules Investigators Gregg Phillips and True the Vote Founder Arrested and Taken Into Custody One Week Before Mid-Term Election.  This morning, Federal Judge Kenneth Hoyt held True the Vote founder Catherine Engelbrecht and True the Vote investigator Gregg Phillips were arrested and held in contempt of court over their refusal to identify a confidential informant who helped them obtain information that led to the discovery and later, evidence that the E. Lansing, MI based election software company Konnech was storing election-related data on servers in China. [...] Engelbrecht and Phillips were the duo behind the bombshell documentary 2000 Mules that used geofencing data to uncover an alleged massive ballot-harvesting operation in several key states across America in 2020.

We really need to talk about Democrats' efforts to pre-delegitimize our elections.  Democrats have been doing this for decades, declaring certain elected Republicans frauds and imposters.  It's not that they truly believe the 2000, 2004, and 2016 presidential races, the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial race, etc., were rigged.  Rather, they understand that casting doubt on election outcomes weakens the Republican position, putting duly elected officials in a state of constant defense.  Democrats are taking this astonishingly cynical strategy one step further.  They're questioning the legitimacy of GOP victories even before the votes have even been cast.  "Right-wing extremists already have a plan to literally steal the next presidential election.  And they're not making a secret of it," two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said this month.  "The right-wing-controlled Supreme Court may be poised to rule on giving state legislatures the power to overturn presidential elections."

Big ballot-havesting operation busted in Orlando, Florida.  Ballot harvesting, according to the California Democrats who'd like to take it national, is an innocent practice where union members and activists, some of them illegally present in the country, do voters the favor, see, of helping voters fill out their ballots and then collecting those ballots for them so that they need never go to the polls.  They call it "a new service."  It's part of their "make every vote count" agenda, and who could be against that?  But out in Florida, where there's still some semblance of objectivity, investigators found another story. [...] TheCoercive operatives with money on their minds thug up to people's doorsteps and make them fill out ballots to their liking, or the ballots get thrown away, and you can bet the voters go on some sort of list.  If they hand over their ballots, they can get their votes changed, they can get them discarded, they can get silenced and intimidated into voting the political operatives' way or else.  One wonders how many Republicans would have won in that Disney-happy area had there not been this ballot-harvesting operation going on with nobody saying anything.  How many bad laws since passed would not have seen the light of day if the elections didn't have this kind of cheating?

Democrat blows whistle on alleged ballot harvesting scheme, Florida opens criminal probe.  Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' new election crimes unit has recommended state police open a full criminal investigation into a Democrat whistleblower's detailed complaint of a long-running, widespread ballot harvesting operation in the African-American communities in politically important central Florida.  Former Orange County Commissioner candidate Cynthia Harris filed a sworn affidavit in late August with the Secretary of State's office alleging that illegal operations to collect third-party ballots have been going on for years in the Orlando area where voting activists are paid $10 for each ballot they collect.  She described an intricate system funded by liberal leaning organizations that dispatch ballot brokers into black communities to pressure voters to turn over their ballots.  The $10 fee per ballot is divvied up among the parties who help complete the harvesting.  The collection and delivery of ballots by third parties is illegal in Florida.

Election fraud in Pennsylvania — and how to stop it.  If you believe that there was significant electoral fraud in the 2020 election, the big question you have today is: "What's changed?"  What will make the 2022 midterms any different from 2020? This is even more pressing in places where there is any question of fraud in the primaries.  It's late, but there is still time to address the problem, as we must if we wish to avoid seeing our representative republic — in which voters choose their representatives — suffer a fatal blow.  We write as citizens who have published a book filled with hard, physical evidence that the 2020 election was stolen.

Judge allows group to monitor local ballot dropboxes in Arizona.  A federal judge on Friday declined to prohibit a local group from monitoring ballot drop boxes in Arizona.  "The Court cannot craft an injunction without violating the First Amendment," District Court Judge Michael Liburdi wrote.  He did not end the case and said he would allow the Arizona Alliance for Retired Americans to again make a case against Clean Elections USA, per Politico.  The ruling follows reports of armed and masked individuals monitoring ballot boxes in Arizona counties ahead of the midterms, the outlet noted.  Ballot drop boxes have long attracted scrutiny from election integrity watchdogs over the potential for fraud.

[A] Nevada County [has been] Ordered to Stop Hand Count of Ballots.  As previously reported, hand counts of ballots were supposed to take place in rural Nye County, Nevada.  The Nye County Commission had voted to ditch electronic voting machines and use hand-counted paper ballots.  The 4-1 vote led to the resignation of Nye County Clerk, Sandra "Sam" Merlino.  The commission then voted to appoint an interim clerk, Mark Kampf, to oversee the election.  Kampf is a Republican on the midterm ballot running for the county clerk seat.  In August, the Nevada Secretary of State held a virtual workshop for the public's input on proposed regulations for tabulating ballots by hand, ahead of a virtual hearing on August 26.  During the August hearing, an amendment was prompted by Kampf's opposition to the proposed language during the workshop.  The regulation should only apply to counties that use only hand counting, while Kampf's proposal runs ballots through mechanical tabulators and checks results by hand count.

DOJ's election plan raises threat of 'selective enforcement' against red states, watchdog warns.  The Justice Department this week outlined the steps it will take on Election Day to ensure a fair election process, but a government watchdog is warning that the plan leaves out critical details that open the door to selective enforcement against red states.  The Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA) said the lack of detail in the DOJ announcement likely means "selective transparency and selective enforcement, something we've come to expect from the Biden administration's two-tiered approach to justice."  The Justice Department released a summary of its "comprehensive" Election Day plan Wednesday and said it is aimed at ensuring that "all qualified voters have the opportunity to cast their ballots and have their votes counted free of discrimination, intimidation or fraud in the election process.

Democrats are Aboard the Big Data Titanic.  Nobody ever changed the game in any industry, or election, by applying demonstrably obsolete technology. [...] Mike Lindell and Sheriff David Clarke asked us to run the Wisconsin voter rolls with our disruptive Fractal technology.  Voter integrity teams were ferociously analyzing state voter rolls with SQL, relational, Mongo, Excel type systems — the equivalent of emptying a swimming pool with a spoon.  We loaded Wisconsin and within hours had it in their hands — no charge — finding registered voters living in laundromats and UPS boxes.  Word spread and we now run about 15 or 20 mostly swing states.

After the Elections.  [Scroll down] The people who are currently in charge will cheat in the upcoming election.  There can be no reasonable doubt about this.  The question isn't one of if — it's only how.  It is a question of whether or not they'll be successful, or whether or not enough people of our side will show they have the functional remnants of a backbone.  Whatever shakes out after the circus of mail-in ballots, ballot-harvesting, and all the other tricks we've come to expect — we must remember that the leadership of the Democrat party does not believe in elections even in principle.  They will not consider any manipulation of the electoral process to be cheating.  In their view, they're entitled to win.  If I eat a piece of steak, I do not moralize at all about the unfair slaughter of the beast that it was taken out of.  Our political rights, in the eyes of most of the political class, are something on the order of civil rights of cattle.  This is to say — they are rights they don't believe exist.  Now, it naturally follows from this situation that we need to stop expecting a fair win just as we no longer believe in the Easter Bunny or Santa Claus.  Our victories are going to be denied; litigated; and, if at all possible, overturned.

Hilarious: leftists are pivoting on election denial in real-time.  Hillary Clinton jumped the gun predicting a plan to steal the next Presidential election, pivoting to the dreaded scourge of our time 'election denial.'  Hillary Clinton recently predicted that 'Right-wing extremists' already have a plan to literally steal the next presidential election, in a story overed by Sky News Australia.  But none of the socialists of the American media reported this aside from Mediaite, why?

Dem Blows Whistle On Widespread Orlando Area Ballot-Harvesting Operation In Black Communities.  For many Americans, the Dinesh D'Souza 2000 Mules movie, based on investigative work by True the Vote founder Catherine Englebrecht and Gregg Phillips, tracked thousands of ballot mules across several key swing states in 2020 using geofencing tracing data was an eye-opener.  Without naming names, over the fear of being sued, Gregg Phillips has repeatedly stated that the stash houses they've identified that were used by ballot harvesters to make their mule operations possible were ALL funded by left-leaning NGOs (non-governmental organizations).  During their testimony in front of the AZ Senate on June 2, Engelbrecht and Phillips released a bombshell video featuring investigator Gregg Phillips and a whistleblower in Yuma, Co., Arizona, who revealed how the elections were stolen in her community.

How many early voters want their votes back?  On Tuesday night, we finally saw Lt.  Governor John Fetterman debate GOP candidate Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania.  It was painful to watch.  By the end, I felt sorry for Fetterman and was angry at his family for allowing this to happen.  How does a wife allow permit this?  How badly does she want to be a senator's wife?  According to Reuters, Democrats are in massive damage control.

Pennsylvania: 255,000 Unverified New Voters [were] Sent Ballots.  Pennsylvania Democrat officials sent out 240,000 255,000 ballots to people they could not verify either by their Social Security or Driver's License numbers.  The ballots should never have been sent out to these voters.  Fifteen Republican State Representatives sent a letter to Acting Secretary of the Commonwealth Leigh Chapman after they discovered that over 240,000 illicit ballots were sent out in the state prior to the 2022 midterm elections.  Deputy Secretary Jonathan Marks testified in September before the Pennsylvania House that counties are responsible to verify the voter ID when a completed ballot arrive to the county.  The counties argued that this was nonsense.  The ID must be verified before a ballot is even sent out.

The Left's Taxpayer-Funded Voter Registration Machine.  Perhaps the greatest trick the left ever pulled was convincing conservatives there was ever anything nonpartisan about conducting elections.  In the battle over election integrity, one of the least-discussed but increasingly important groups is the little-known Electronic Registration Information Center — better known as "ERIC."  ERIC is a private 501(c)(3) organization, not a government agency, yet it has incredible access to sensitive information on tens of millions of voters across 30 states and the District of Columbia.  ERIC matches death information published by the Social Security Administration to an individual voter's full name, date of birth, address, phone number, driver's license number, and partial Social Security Number provided by state departments of motor vehicles (DMVs) to form a picture of where a voter has lived and registered to vote.  It's unknown exactly how many people are in ERIC's system, but together those 30 states represent nearly 204 million people — 61 percent of the country's total population.

Delaware Supreme Court Strikes Down State's Vote-by-Mail and Same-Day Voter Registration.  Judicial Watch reacted today [10/20/2022] to the recent move by the Delaware Supreme Court to strike down the state's vote-by-mail and same-day voter registration statutes for violating the Delaware Constitution.  In making its ruling, the court effectively concurs with the amicus curiae brief Judicial Watch submitted in the case, which argues the Delaware statute impermissibly expands those practices far beyond the limits set in the Delaware Constitution.  The October 7 decision comes in the case Albence v Higgin et al. (DE Vote by Mail 342,2022), in which the court considered the constitutionality of two state laws passed by the Delaware General Assembly that attempted to grant every voter the opportunity to vote by mail and register to vote up to the day of the general election.

A Constitutional Crisis Is Brewing in Pennsylvania Over Mail-In Ballots.  As RedState previously reported, the Supreme Court vacated a state court decision requiring Pennsylvania to count un-dated mail-in ballots.  The plain letter of the law requires that a mail-in ballot must be filled, signed, and dated in order to be counted.  Despite that, Democrat state officials have pledged to defy the law, giving guidance to counties that they not only should un-dated ballots be counted, but they aren't even required to be sequestered pending further legal action.  Their reasoning?  That voters shouldn't be disenfranchised based on a "technical violation."  Who gets to decide what "technical violations" can be ignored?  That would seem to be a dangerous road to go down in regards to simply shunning the law based on an arbitrary judgment by a partisan state official.  Pennsylvania's mail-in voting law isn't ambiguous.  It pointedly says that ballots must be dated to be counted.  It's incredibly revealing (and somewhat shocking) that Democrats in the state don't even try to pretend they have a real legal case.

Report: Half of Pennsylvania Vote-by-Mail Ballots [were] Cast Before Fetterman's Disastrous Debate.  Nearly half of all vote-by-mail ballots in Pennsylvania had already been cast before Tuesday night's U.S. Senate debate, which was judged a disaster — even by Democrats — after Lt. Gov. John Fetterman (D), recovering from a stroke, struggled to form coherent sentences.  Fetterman had sought to avoid a debate, and his campaign has restricted his public appearances.. When he finally agreed to one, Democrats sought to delay the debate until ballots were already being cast by mail, since Democrats are more likely to use that method and more of the party's vote would already be cast.  However, given that 82% of viewers said that Republican nominee Dr. Mehmet Oz won the debate, it is likely that some of those Democratic would make a different choice today.

The Editor says...
Early voting is just wrong.  So many things happen in the last few days before an election.  Voting early is like half of a jury declaring a verdict in the middle of a trial, and the other half waiting to see all the evidence.

Democrat PACs Are Already Tracking 2022 Midterm Votes Cast, By Party, By Age, By County, and Gender — Why Is This Allowed?  Obviously, the Republican Party was caught flat-footed on Election Day on November 3, 2020, when President Trump exceeded all expectations and gained the most votes ever for a sitting president but ended up losing the election several days later in the greatest theft in US history to a corrupt, imbecile who spent most of his time in his basement during the campaign.  For some reason, Ronna McDaniel did not resign in shame at the time.  She should have.  And, do not forget, when President Trump called supporters to the Ellipse in Washington DC on January 6th, one million patriotic Americans turned out in the cold while the GOP elites met at a Ritz Carlton resort on Amelia Island instead. [...] Early voting has started in several states including Arizona.  Democrats, with Joe Biden, were able to manufacture enough ballots following election day to steal the state in 2020.  And we now have proof they are tracking all of the votes cast so far in Arizona.

Rural Arizona county votes to hand-count ballots despite legal threats from Dem candidate Katie Hobbs.  A rural Arizona county is bucking the system.  Refusing to bow to pressure from the left and despite dire warnings of litigation, the southern Arizona county added a step to "protect their voters from potential fraud."  The Cochise County Board of Supervisors, situated 90 miles southeast of Tucson, voted 2-1 to approve a measure requiring a full hand count following the November 8 election.  During the four-hour meeting, including public testimony, Republicans Tom Crosby and Peggy Judd voted for the measure drafted by Crosby, while Democrat Ann English voted against it.

Election Denial Will Win.  All indications now are that the Democrats are finally about to pay for using hate of Donald Trump as a substitute for governing for two years, just as, for four years prior to that, they used Trump hate as a substitute for normal opposition.  The entire fabric of myths, frauds, and defamations that the national political media have conveniently held up as a safety net for the Democratic Party and this terribly incompetent administration is about to disappear, and the Democrats will finally carry the can for 14 years of incompetence and venality — 10 failed years under Barack Obama and Joe Biden, with a four-year interlude when frenzied antagonism to the Trump administration was a divertissement of shamefully unconstitutional and obstructive opposition.  The greatest liberation of all in the national purgation that now seems likely in the midterm elections in two weeks will be the debunking of the totalitarian fiction that the 2020 election was unquestionably fair.

'Pre-denying an election?' Hillary issues warning of right-wing plot to steal the White House in 2024.  The tide has decidedly shifted against Democrats in the crucial midterm elections that are the first national referendum on their disastrous one-party rule since Joe Biden took over and the focus could soon shift to protecting their control of the White House with failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton taking the lead in pre-denying the results two years in advance.  On Monday, the embittered sore loser who blamed her 2016 historic loss to political newcomer Donald J. Trump on everyone and everything except her own failures to even attempt to appeal to working-class voters in the Rust Belt, posted a creepy pre-Halloween video to social media claiming — without a smidgen of evidence — that there is a vast right-wing conspiracy to steal the presidency in 2024, lighting the spark for a narrative that will likely soon spread like wildfire.

White House Claims Voter Suppression in Georgia, With No Evidence.  During the daily briefing at the White House Tuesday afternoon, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked about record voter turnout in Georgia just two weeks out from Election Day.  When asked specifically about President Joe Biden calling new voter integrity laws in the state "Jim Crow 2.0," Jean-Pierre claimed suppression is still present even with record numbers.  New numbers released Monday from Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger confirm the state's new voter integrity laws, passed last year and signed by Republican Governor Brian Kemp, have juiced record turnout just two weeks away from Election Day.

Federal Lawsuit Filed to Prevent Ballot Drop Box Watchers.  On Monday, a lawsuit filed by two organizations in federal court asked a judge to prevent members of Clean Elections USA from being "within sight" of ballot drop boxes in Arizona.  Plaintiffs Voto Latino and Arizona Alliance for Retired Americans represented by Elias Law Group claim that Clean Elections USA's founder and members are intimidating voters.  Though, Attorney Daniel Arrellano has not alleged violence.  Arrellano implored U.S. District Court Judge John Tuchi to act immediately with just 15 days remaining in the election.  The plaintiffs claim that some members of the group are known to openly carry firearms or wear tactical gear.  The lawsuit comes after a string of reports last week of real or imagined intimidation, with three incident reports referred from the AZ Secretary of State to the AZ Attorney General and US Department of Justice.

RNC Launches 73 Election Integrity Lawsuits Across 20 States.  In the year 2022 alone, the Republican National Committee (RNC) has filed 73 different lawsuits in 20 different states, alleging various violations of election procedure and resulting in several key victories, with two weeks to go before the midterms.  As reported by Fox News, the lawsuits focus on such matters as the counting of ballots that are either undated or mismarked, as well as the rights of poll watchers to directly observe the counting of ballots.  The large-scale legal action by the RNC comes after widespread accusations of voter fraud in the 2020 election cycle, which many believe was enough to swing the results away from President Donald J. Trump and in favor of Democrat Joe Biden.

The DOJ Is Hiding Information About Biden's Attempts To Interfere In U.S. Elections.  The Department of Justice (DOJ) is slow-walking its response to a federal court order mandating that the agency forfeit records pertaining to President Joe Biden's March 2021 executive order that directed federal agencies to develop plans for federal interference in state election administration.  On Thursday evening, the agency filed a motion for summary judgment with the Fort Myers Division of the U.S. Middle District Court of Florida in an attempt to conceal communication records related to Executive Order 14019, which required all federal departments to "consider ways to expand citizens' opportunities to register to vote and to obtain information about, and participate in, the electoral process."  In law, "summary judgment" is a decision issued by a court based on statements and evidence for one party against another without going to a full trial.

DOJ Cites 'Public Confusion' as Reason to Keep Documents on Biden Order Secret.  The Biden administration is claiming "presidential communications privilege" in federal court to prevent release of information about an executive order instructing federal agencies to help register more voters.  In a filing late Thursday, the Justice Department argues that releasing information on President Joe Biden's order would cause "public confusion."  The Foundation for Government Accountability, a conservative watchdog group, sued the Justice Department in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida to get information about how the department would implement Executive Order 14019, which Biden signed in March 2021.  As previously reported by The Daily Signal, Biden's order requires every federal agency to promote voter registration and voter participation.

The Democrats' Bizarro World.  [Scroll down] Another foundation of our democratic republic is free and fair elections.  While money has long been problematic for our electoral process, Americans used to at least be able to count on the candidate receiving the most votes being elected.  No more, thanks to the deliberate efforts of the Democrat Party to gain and hold onto power, whatever it takes.  Long known for their urban political machinery and "voting irregularities" stretching back to the Boss Tweed era in the late 1800s, the media pretends to be shocked at the mere suggestion that their Democrat Party pals would ever stoop to such a thing.  The right to vote is a privilege bordering on the sacred, and as long as there are provisions for people unable to go to the polls on election day (the sick, military personnel serving overseas, etc.), then it should be a point of honor for Americans to get themselves to the polls to vote.  But instead of extremely limited mail-in ballots, distributed only by individual name to eligible voters who request them, in 2020 the Democrats mailed out millions — that's right, millions — of blank ballots in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, North Carolina, Nevada, et al.

RNC has launched 73 election lawsuits in 20 states: 'Most litigious' election cycle.  The Republican National Committee (RNC) has launched 73 lawsuits on election integrity issues in 20 states during the 2022 midterm election cycle, an increase from 2020 that has already secured GOP victories in battleground states this year.  The scope of the legal challenges stretches from the rights of poll watchers to observe the counting of votes to the illegal counting of mismarked absentee ballots.  This aggressive legal approach is an effort to meet RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel's vision of making this cycle the RNC's "most litigious," according to an RNC spokesperson.  The strategy includes offense-minded lawsuits, such as suing Democratic secretaries of state and challenging Democrat-friendly election laws, and defensive actions that include intervening in lawsuits brought by the Biden administration in Republican states.

When Being An 'Election Denier' Didn't Get You Branded A Liar.  The press automatically appends the word "lie" anytime anyone suggests that the 2020 election wasn't on the up and up.  Democrats portray November's election as a "fight for Democracy" because a vote for a Republican is a vote for election-denying-Jan. 6-terrorist-sympathizing fascists.  Just bringing up the idea of election fraud is tantamount to treason.  Big Tech tries its best to suppress any form of this dangerous "misinformation."  Well, the other day we came across this video and were truly shocked at how widespread election denialism has become.  This video is a collection of clips of prominent politicians and personalities claiming outright that the election was stolen and that the president is illegitimate, and that the Electoral College should ignore official vote tallies and appoint the next president.

Not Consensus, But Truth.  Perhaps the most popular meme floating about in polite society today is the contention that any hint of the 2020 presidential election being tainted is a "Big Lie."  It is so popular, in fact, that some journalists and politicians appear to present themselves to the Office of Acceptable Propaganda each day before setting off on their rounds.  They collect their allotted quota of different ways of ridiculing and dismissing those imprudent enough to suggest that, as a matter of fact, there were lots of problems with the 2020 elections.  It is important that these approved scribes and politicians engage in this ritual because there are many different ways in which this rhetorical epithet needs to be expressed if it is to achieve its goal:  to silence debate by intimidating people. [...] The obloquy is directed not simply against certain ideas, but also against the people who express, or might express, them.

MI SOS Jocelyn Benson Loses Another Court Case.  On Oct 10, we reported about five individuals in Michigan who sued Michigan's dishonest Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, and MI Director of Elections Jonathan Brater over their sudden creation of a new set of rules titled "The Appointments, Rights, and Duties of Poll Challengers and Election Workers," only months before Michigan's August 2, 2022, Primary Election.  The lawsuit, which was filed by Attorney Ann Howard in the MI Court of Claims, was joined together with a similar lawsuit filed by the RNC.  The suit asked for an emergency injunction to compel MI SOS Jocelyn Benson and Jonathan Brater to rescind the changes to their newly created "guidance" for poll challengers that was first implemented in the August 2022 Primary Election.

The Midterms.  When posted overseas, I was pretty good at analyzing and predicting political events in foreign countries, but US politics?  Not so good.  Too many variables, too much volatility, and, of course, unreliable vote counting make it very tough.  We also have one of the sloppiest vote collection and tabulation systems in the world.  We have no clear idea of just who is voting, and how the votes are counted.  It's a disgrace.  In much of the country, we have voting systems and regulations designed when we were a much more homogeneous and even rural, small town, country where we all knew each other.  Ain't that way now.  We need a complete election system overhaul, e.g., voter ids, clear laws on only citizens voting, and simple counting measures that do not involve inserting a ballot into a mysterious machine that then "counts" the votes.  Go back to paper and pencil with government and political party monitors keeping a close eye to avert the sort of electoral travesty we saw in 2020.

Republicans win major election integrity ruling against Michigan secretary of state.  The Republican Party has won an election integrity lawsuit against Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson over restrictions she imposed on poll challengers.  Benson, per the Republican National Committee, had imposed restrictions on poll challengers, including a new credential form, an "artificial deadline" for appointing them, and limiting the poll workers with whom the challengers may communicate.  "This ruling is a massive victory for election integrity, the rule of law, and Michigan voters," RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said in a press release. "Jocelyn Benson not only disregarded Michigan election law in issuing this guidance, she also violated the rights of political parties and poll challengers to fully ensure transparency and promote confidence that Michigan elections are run fairly and lawfully.  This legal win will help deliver the transparency at the ballot box that Michiganders deserve with midterm elections in 19 days."

An 'Unusual' Thing Happened Before a Virginia Elections Director Was Mysteriously Charged with Two Felonies Over the 2020 Election.  The Virginia Election Integrity Unit earlier dismissed a county elections official for 2020 voting irregularities and charged her with two felony counts of corrupt conduct and making a false statement.  While it is not entirely clear what happened, the reported backstory reveals that the Democrats' complaints about her dismissal are hollow, indeed.  The Washington Post recently reported on the felony counts facing the ex-voting official and her summary dismissal.  It is essential background reading for understanding a glaring anomaly in Virginia's 2020 election that has raised red flags with some veteran political observers.

Who denies election results?  A Democratic myth has arisen that former President Donald Trump's denial of the accuracy of the 2020 vote was "unprecedented."  Unfortunately, the history of U.S. elections is often a story of both legitimate and illegitimate election denialism.  The 1800, 1824, 1876, and 1960 elections were all understandably questioned.  In some of these cases, a partisan House of Representatives decided the winner.  Presidential candidate Al Gore in 2000 did not accept the popular vote results in Florida.  He spent five weeks futilely contesting the state's tally — until recounts and the Supreme Court certified it.  The ensuing charge that former President George W. Bush was "selected not elected" was the Democrats' denialist mantra for years.  In 2004, Senator Barbara Boxer, D-Calif. and 31 Democratic House members voted not to certify the Ohio election results in their unhinged efforts to overturn the election.  Those denialists included the current sanctimonious chairman of the January 6 select committee, U.S. Representative Benny Thompson, D-Miss.  After 2016, crackpot Democratic orthodoxy for years insisted that Trump had "colluded" with Russia to "steal" certain victory from Hillary Clinton.

AZ Election Official Stephen Richer Ran On Election Integrity, Now He's Accused Of Law-Breaking And Politicking.  Stephen Richer campaigned in Maricopa County, Arizona, in 2020 on the slogan that he would "make the Recorder's Office boring again."  By any measure, he's failed.  The self-styled "hardcore libertarian" was elected as a Republican after he drafted a blistering 228-page review of Maricopa County's 2018 election administration as well as a 48-page audit lambasting the Democrat running the county's elections. [...] He now uses his perch as an opportunity to regularly defend the Democrat-run 2020 election in Maricopa County, write op-eds at CNN against the type of election audits he conducted to gain power, draft lengthy screeds lambasting Republican leaders and voters for their election integrity concerns, and push ranked-choice voting and other efforts critics say are disastrous for voter confidence in elections.  He even set up a Democrat-funded political action committee to support Arizona candidates who share his views, a move strongly rejected as unethical by ethical election officials.

18 Questions for Ronna McDaniel and the RNC as the 2022 Midterm Quickly Approaches.  [#4]  Where is the RNC litigation that mandates State and County election officials report the total number of ballots in their possession on election night?  The old term "Total Ballots Cast" was applicable when everyone voted in person, on election day.  It should probably now be called "Total Ballots Collected" or similar.  Knowing this total on election night can prevent late ballots from being added.  Elections now only report the ballots counted, then update this each day after the election.  [#5]  Where is the RNC's aggressive fight and litigation to clean up voter rolls?  There is no visible offense by the RNC here.  The only movement is from the Public Interest Legal Foundation who file a few lawsuits each year.  This issue needs a grenade, not ticky tack lawsuits over 73 dead people.  Many feel this matter should be pushed to the Supreme Court once and for all.

The View Defends Felons Committing Voter Fraud in Florida.  Leave it to ABC's The View to take up the position that murderers, pedophiles, and other sex offenders deserve to vote and commit voter fraud.  That was the hill they wanted to die on Wednesday after body-camera video surfaced showing Florida law enforcement officers arresting individuals accused of illegally voting.  The cast didn't seem to know what the law was with one claiming they were illegally arrested and another claiming the Republicans were cheating to win.

DOJ Is Hiding How It's Complying with Biden's Voter Registration Drive, Rep. Norman Says.  Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) is demanding answers from the Department of Justice (DOJ) after the agency refused to release all documents regarding how it intended to implement a 2021 executive order on expanding voter access.  Republicans have opposed this order as an unlawful exercise of federal power over elections.  In March 2021, President Joe Biden signed an executive order (EO 14019) directing the head of every federal agency, including the DOJ, to come up with a strategic plan on how to "promote voter registration and voter participation."  Their plans should be submitted to Susan Rice, the president's domestic policy adviser.  The executive order also mandates that these agencies work with "approved" third-party organizations to provide voter registration services on federal agency premises.  Since then, Republican lawmakers have questioned whether the administration has the constitutional and statutory authority to enact such an order.

The Politicization of the Department of Justice.  The 2020 election was rampant with reports of irregularities.  Some of these reports were more accurate than others.  But states were right to take appropriate steps to increase the security of their elections in the wake of such reports.  And yet, from its first days, the Biden administration has been bent on waging an intimidation campaign against states attempting to bolster election integrity.  Consider Georgia.  The midnight ballot dump that pushed Biden ahead of Trump had all the appearances of manipulative ballot stuffing.  That was followed by days of uncertainty about who won.  Reports soon surfaced of massive ballot harvesting — illegal in Georgia — as well as deeply concerning evidence that Mark Zuckerberg-funded nonprofits had placed personnel in election operations in blue counties with the effect of decreasing signature-matching efforts.  Given the backdrop in which the 2020 election took place — with new and expansive vote-by-mail procedures — it's not surprising that alarms went off and that many citizens questioned the final vote tally.

Riverside, California registrar mails 5,000 voters duplicate ballots.  [Scroll down] Nothing to see here, little technical glitch, just throw that extra ballot away, and move along.  They've got this.  Elections are always clean in California.  Problem over, right?  Not exactly.  Start with the technical claim that the second ballots sent cannot be counted.  On Twitter, one person did argue that such things aren't exactly as cut-and-dried as the Riverside County registrar of the voters, Rebecca Spencer, claims:  [Tweet]  If that's true, a great gaslight is going up about the security of the mail balloting system and whether two votes can be cast from one voter.  One wonders what becomes of the thrown-away ballots, assuming the duplicates are thrown away, as well as those that are cast twice.  The L.A. Times, though, takes the registrar's word for it that the problem is all fixed.

Body Cam Footage Shows Police Cracking Down On Illegal Voting In Florida Leaving Perps Dumbfounded.  In April, Governor Desantis signed a bill creating the Florida Office of Election Crimes and Security, an election police force.  This was instituted as Republicans increased their efforts to crack down on what they believe was widespread fraud after the 2020 Presidential elections.  Desantis announced 20 arrests claiming these citizens had illegally voted for various reasons.  However, as the Times shows, there has been a lot of confusion, particularly with citizens who claim election officials had told them they were eligible to vote.  Body-worn camera footage recorded by local police captured the confusion and outrage of Hillsborough County residents who found themselves in handcuffs for allegedly illegally casting a ballot following investigations by Gov. Ron DeSantis' new Office of Election Crimes and Security.  The voters caught in the "gotcha" arrests are former felons, most of them Black. "Voter fraud?  Y'all said anybody with a felony could vote, man," Tony Patterson said as police arrested him.

Is It Possible The Chinese Really Did Hack Our Elections?  I do a lot of speaking on election integrity.  I say frequently[,] while there are endless problems with the security of our elections[,] I don't believe the Chinese "hacked" the 2020 election.  Maybe I was wrong.  A number of weeks ago True the Vote broke the story that a company called Konnech in Michigan was storing data on American election workers on servers in China.  True the Vote leaders Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips were, of course, ridiculed by the so-called mainstream press.  Then, Los Angeles arrested the head of Konnech and charged him with violations of U.S. laws on the handling of personally identifiable information — by storing it on servers in China.  The ridicule stopped. Even the New York Times had to issue a retraction.  It has gotten much worse since then.  Konnech wasn't just storing data in China.  Konnech was using contractors inside China to do work in the United States on American election systems.

Republicans Sue Pennsylvania Officials Who Said They'll Accept Mail-In Ballots Without Dates.  Republicans are suing Pennsylvania officials after the state's top election official said mail-in ballots without dates will be accepted, in contravention of state law.  A group of Pennsylvania voters, the Republican National Committee, and the Pennsylvania Republican Party filed the lawsuit with the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, asking justices to quickly declare illegal the guidance from the Pennsylvania Department of State regarding ballots that don't have dates.  Acting Pennsylvania Secretary of State Leigh Chapman said on Oct. 11 that "every county is expected to include undated ballots in their official returns for the Nov. 8 election, consistent with the Department of State's guidance."  The guidance, last updated in September, states that "any ballot-return envelope that is undated or dated with an incorrect date but that has been timely received by the county shall be included" in the vote count.

San Luis, AZ Democrat Ballot Trafficker Gets 30 Days In Jail.  Guillermina Fuentes has been sentenced to 30 days in the Yuma County Detention Center after she was caught on video trafficking ballots in San Luis.  The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Guillermina Fuentes finally pleaded guilty more than 15 months after she was indicted on four felony charges.  The heavier charges of Forgery and Conspiracy were dropped in Fuentes' plea agreement, and she only pleaded guilty to one minor count of ballot abuse.  We later reported that prosecutors were seeking a one-year prison sentence for Fuentes' voter fraud.

Score One for True the Vote.  Konnech is an election software company which provides Poll Chief software for election worker management.  It is used in a number of counties, including DeKalb in Georgia, Washoe County, Nevada; Fairfax County, Virginia; Detroit, Michigan; Los Angeles County, California; Prince William County, Virginia; Johnson County, Kansas; and Allen County, Indiana.  True the Vote, which seeks to ensure election integrity, investigated the company and was sued by it, alleging unauthorized access and "distribution of material gotten through such access."  It claimed in its complaint that "All of Konnech's U.S. customer data is secured and stored exclusively on protected computers located within the United States."  Upon its allegations it received an immediate temporary restraining order.

The Left Is Pushing To Reshape Voting Systems Across America — Here's How.  The left's latest ploy to remake elections is a complicated scheme called "ranked-choice voting" (RCV).  Advocates claim it strengthens "majority rule" and leads to a healthier democracy, and they've pushed dozens of municipalities and two states to use it.  Nevada is their latest target.  Voters there will decide on election day if they want to join in this nationwide experiment.  If experience is any judge, they'd be wise to sit this one out.  If the measure known as Question 3 eventually passes (it would have to pass again in 2024), Nevada's traditional election system will be upended.  Party primaries will be replaced with a California-style "jungle primary."  The five candidates who get the most votes will advance to the general and ranked-choice voting would be used to determine the final winner.  That sounds simple, but RCV is far more complex than its proponents make it out to be.

Election Software CEO Surrenders to LA Authorities; Prosecutors Allege 'Massive Data Breach'.  Los Angeles prosecutors on Oct. 14 accused the CEO of a Michigan-based election software company of being involved in a "massive" data breach affecting at least thousands of victims, including minors.  Eugune Yu, 64, who heads Konnech, a company that provides software to electoral districts for the management of poll workers, was charged with the felony crime of embezzlement of public funds.  He appeared in a Los Angeles County court on Oct. 14.  The Los Angeles County District Attorney's office has accused Yu of stealing personal identifying information of poll workers.  The office alleged that such data was stored on servers in China, in violation of Konnech's contract with Los Angeles County.  Superior Court of Los Angeles County Judge Victoria Wilson ruled that Yu be released on a $500,000 bond and remain in house arrest until his next hearing, which is set for Nov. 17.  Yu was ordered to remain in Los Angeles County and wear an ankle monitor.

Arizona AG asks FBI, IRS to investigate election integrity watchdog True the Vote.  Republican Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich has asked the IRS and FBI to review the financials of the conservative nonprofit group True The Vote for allegedly raising money on false statements about widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election.  In a letter obtained Friday by Fox News Digital, Chief Special Agent Reggie Grigsby of the Special Investigations Section for Brnovich's office accused True The Vote (TTV) of repeatedly failing to provide promised information about alleged ballot stuffing and voter fraud to his office while publicly asserting they did so in order to raise funds.

Oops!
GOP US Senate Candidate's Name Omitted from Ballots in Illinois County.  Republican US Senate Candidate Kathy Salvi released a statement this week after the Schulyer County ballots omitted her name.  [Text of Ms. Salvi's statement omitted for brevity.]

Republican US Senate candidate's name not on ballots distributed in Illinois county.  Some early voters have already cast their ballots in Schuyler County, Illinois, despite Republican U.S. Senate candidate Kathy Salvi's name not being listed as a choice.  Instead of Salvi's name, the name of her defeated primary opponent Peggy Hubbard is listed on the ballot as an option.  Salvi won the seven-way Republican primary on June 28 by a significant margin.  Salvi, who seeks to unseat the incumbent Democrat Sen. Tammy Duckworth, is demanding accountability, claiming that the proposed remedial efforts do "not solve the most pressing problem of election integrity and transparency" and that voters have "been potentially disenfranchised."  She noted that the issue was brought to her attention on October 11.  "Ballots drafted by the Schuyler County Board of Elections, and approved by the Illinois State Board of Elections, incorrectly listed one of my primary opponents as the Republican nominee for the United States Senate," said Salvi in a statement issued on Wednesday [10/12/2022].

Voter Fraud Comes in All Shapes and Sizes, But Can Sometimes Swing Elections.  Voter fraud is surprisingly common.  Prosecutions for it can range from small-scale cases, like someone with two residences voting in both states, to large-scale crimes that changed electoral outcomes, affected hundreds or thousands of votes, and ranged across multiple states.  An extensive voter fraud database maintained by the Heritage Foundation has logged 1384 proven cases of voter fraud, resulting in 1191 criminal convictions, 48 civil penalties, and 103 defendants ending up in diversion programs.  And the foundation says the list doesn't come close to being comprehensive.  The database, which goes back to 1992, lists 19 elections overturned due to fraud, 16 of those since 2000.

How Winners are Losing in American Elections.  Who exactly are the winners of this new and confusing electoral system called ranked-choice voting (RCV)?  It's not the thousands of voters that show up to the polls in RCV elections only to have their votes thrown out.  The winners of RCV are partisans and special interests who use the system's design to manipulate election outcomes and undermine states' efforts to safeguard election integrity.  Take Maine, for example.  In the 2018 2nd Congressional District election, Jared Golden, the Democrat, was declared the winner despite losing in the first round of tabulation with 45.58 percent to the Republican Bruce Poliquin's 46.33 percent.  To declare Golden the winner, more than 8,000 votes were systematically thrown out.

Election Watchdog Probes Colorado Offer of Voter Registration to 30,000 Noncitizens.  An election watchdog group is seeking more information about why Colorado sent 30,000 postcards to noncitizens, inviting them to register to vote.  Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold admitted Monday that her office sent out the notices and called it an error that she is trying to address.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation announced Wednesday that it has made an inspection request to Griswold's office under the National Voter Registration Act for documents specifying how the office filters out noncitizens from receiving such notices, how the office caught the error, and listing noncitizens who were sent the postcards.  "Noncitizens cannot register to vote," J. Christian Adams, president of the Public Interest Legal Foundation, said in a prepared statement.  "We have asked Colorado to document instances where the checks they presumably have in place to prevent aliens from registering actually worked.  If we don't receive the documents we requested, we will exercise rights under federal law."

Pennsylvania to count undated ballots, election official says, despite US Supreme Court ruling.  A top election official in Pennsylvania says the state will disregard the U.S. Supreme Court's guidance on counting mail-in ballots arriving in envelopes with typos or incorrect dates, saying that the state's Commonwealth Court has already established the practice as licit.  Pennsylvania's election laws have historically required voters to include a signature and date on the outside of return envelopes when voting by mail.  However, acting Secretary of State Leigh Chapman announced that Pennsylvania election officials should continue counting ballots that arrive with improperly filled-out envelopes, in accordance with the Commonwealth Court's previous ruling on the matter.

Did Inflated Voter Rolls And Botched Signature Review Wrongly Thwart Recall Of Woke L.A. DA? Lawsuit Says Yes.  After its push to oust L.A. County District Attorney George Gascon failed because nearly 200,000 petition signatures were invalidated, the campaign to recall Gascon announced it is filing for injunctive relief after an initial review showed 39 percent of the signatures invalidated by the L.A. County registrar were likely wrongfully rejected.  "The initial review of invalidated signatures demonstrates the Registrar's counting process was seriously flawed, resulting in substantial errors, the wrongful invalidation of many valid signatures, and the disenfranchisement of thousands of Los Angeles County Voters," the campaign wrote in a press release. [...] Examples of improper invalidation by the registrar include:
  •   Signatures "invalidated as 'non-matching' despite showing substantial similarities to the signatures on file."
  •   Signatures invalidated as "not registered" despite the signature belonging to a registered voter.
  •   Signatures "incorrectly invalidated as 'duplicates' without the Registrar counting at least one of the alleged duplicates as required by law."
  •   Signatures invalidated over confusion regarding changes to voters' addresses.

Non-Partisan Elections Are Non-Existent.  In today's very partisan environment, where Democrats and Republicans have completely opposed views on critical issues, it is imperative to know the political registration of all people running for local offices — especially city councils and school boards.  For most Americans, the political party they are registered with is an introduction to their personal values and core beliefs.  Learning a city council and school board candidate's party affiliation should be the first step in reviewing their bona fides.  However, we can no longer assume party affiliation is enough information.  For instance, Liz Cheney is a registered Republican and former Democrat-now-Independent Tulsi Gabbard is a registered Democrat.  Which one would you vote for?  Plus, many Republicans have switched to no party preference (NPP) or Independent.  Once you know their party affiliation, there's more to do since the Republican candidate might not share your conservative values.  The second step is learning their positions on major issues.  For incumbents, it means reviewing their voting record.

Another voting registration 'accident' with 30,000 non-citizens mailed notices, this time in Colorado.  There's a reason voters don't trust elections as honest mechanisms anymore, and a Democrat secretary of state in Colorado has shown us all why. [...] Ahhh, a mistake.  Unwitting.  Accidental.  The staff did it.  And somehow, it's only Democrats who do this.  A basic function of a registrar of voters is to maintain clean voting rolls.  The staff knew that citizens and noncitizens were all mixed in in the driver's license database, yet they chose to ignore that issue and mailed away to let the illegals know they too could vote.  If you were an illegal and constantly heard news about the trend of getting noncitizens to vote in big cities, why wouldn't you think the state of Colorado wanted you to register to vote, particularly since the notice was printed in ultra-accommodating Spanish?  The citizenship requirement was just fine print, and in any case, everyone's a citizen of somewhere, including, as Democrats say, "undocumented citizens." Non-citizens, of course, and particularly illegals, tend to vote Democrat.

Is This the Beginning of the End for George Soros?  On September 30, U.S. district judge Steven Jones threw out the lawsuit filed in 2018 by Stacey Abrams and her political action committee, Fair Fight Georgia.  The Epoch Times reported that the lawsuit alleged election irregularities, and Judge Jones ruled that "although Georgia's election system is not perfect, the challenged practices violate neither the constitution nor the [Voting Rights Amendment]."  However, Abrams was still able to reinstate 22,000 rejected provisional and absentee ballots after the 2018 election.  This judge was on to something when he said Georgia's election system isn't perfect.  Here are just a few of the inconsistencies from the 2020 election you can find documentation of on the VoterGA website:
  •   There are six sworn affidavits of counterfeit mail-in ballots in Fulton Co. election results scaling into the tens of thousands.
  •   All 350,000+ original in-person ballot images in Fulton are missing in violation of federal and state retention law.
  •   All 393,000+ original ballot images in Cobb are missing in violation of federal and state retention law.
This is also not the only legal action that Abrams has initiated over elections.  First, we have the now-infamous consent decree, which stemmed from a lawsuit filed by Abrams prior to the 2020 election, making it nearly impossible to verify signatures on ballots.

Supreme Court Backs Republican Judge, Rules Pennsylvania Mail In Ballots Must Be Dated.  On Tuesday, the Supreme Court vacated an appeals court decision requiring Pennsylvania to count mail-in ballots even if they were in an undated envelope.  Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote, "The judgment is vacated, and the case is remanded to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit with instructions to dismiss the case as moot[.]"  According to the Epoch Times, the justices sided with the Republican candidate for a judgeship, David Ritter.  Ritter lost his 2021 race after 257 un-dated ballots were counted.  Ritter was running for Lehigh County Court of Common Pleas and attempted to have the votes thrown out, but in a ruling earlier this year, the Supreme Court denied Ritter's request.  The Supreme Courts Tuesday ruling will not change the outcome of Ritter's previous loss, but it will set a precedent for the upcoming midterm elections.

Voting in Arizona in 2022.  Though I am not partisan, and have always distrusted Republicans as much as Democrats, this year my choices are very partisan.  The Democratic Party has become very very corrupt.  The best thing Americans can do to clean up that party is to throw out as many of its elected officials as possible.  At that point the party will be faced with a stark choice:  shift gears, change leadership, or die (allowing a new party to replace it).  With any of these options, the voters would be provided with a new choice in future elections, coming from a different direction.  I am also making recommendations in connection with statewide and local propositions, several of which are hidden mines designed to eliminate what little election security we presently have.  Voters must know this.

Supreme Court rules in favor of GOP in Pennsylvania mail-ballot case.  The Supreme Court sided with a Republican candidate who lost his bid for judgeship in Pennsylvania, ordering the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to toss out its ruling that allowed the counting of mail-in ballots in the race.  Justices on the high court vacated the 3rd Circuit ruling at the request of David Ritter, who ran in 2021 to be a judge on the Lehigh County Court of Common Pleas.  He lost to his Democratic rival Zachary Cohen by five votes after 257 absentee ballots without dates on the envelope were counted.  The decision to remand the case does not affect the outcome of the 2021 race.  But by remanding the case, the high court held that the 3rd Circuit ruling cannot be used as precedent in the three states covered by the federal appellate court, which includes Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey.

Konnech Election Compromise, CCP Infiltration, CEO Arrest, True The Vote and Recent Deep State Misinformation Efforts.  When the FBI/DOJ need to get out in front of an issue they use the New York Times (and Politico) to establish the defensive and offensive narrative.  [The State Dept use CNN, and the CIA use the Washington post] These are constants in an ever-changing world of information warfare.  On October 3rd New York Times journalist Stuart Thompson writes a hit piece against Catherine Englebrecht and True The Vote, written to cast their election review efforts as conspiracy theories.  24 hours later, October 4th, the CEO of Konnech — a company specializing in proprietary PollChief software to manage election workers — was arrested.  Konnech Corporation Chief Executive Officer Eugene Yu was arrested for exploiting access to U.S. election data, including election worker information, and transferring the files to China.

Election denial or Election Fraud Denial?  The Democrats are proposing the Electoral Count Reform and Presidential Transition Improvement Act of 2022.  This is in answer to the Republicans questioning the election results of the 2020 Presidential election.  This is a rather questionable action given that the Republicans questioned the 2020 election because of obvious irregularities.  These occurred in the process leading up to the election day as well as the shenanigans that occurred the night of the election and in the week that followed. [...] The concern now is what are the Democrats and some Republicans planning to do about it.  They call everyone who questions the results "election deniers."  They have convenient election amnesia because it has always been the Democrats that objected to the presidential election results.  This occurred in Presidential elections in 2000, 2004, and 2016.

Colorado 'Accidentally' Sends Out 30,000 Voter Registration Cards to Non-Citizens.  In a move sure to raise a few eyebrows, Colorado has "accidentally" sent out 30,000 voter registration cards to non-citizens.  That's according to a report from Colorado Public Radio.  According to the outlet, the 30,000 cards were sent to non-citizens because of a mix-up with the formatting of the query involving DMV records.  In Colorado, illegal immigrants are able to obtain a driver's license, which was apparently the nexus of the issue.

14 Precincts In Alaska Ban Voting Machines: Votes Will Be Hand-Counted.  Voters across the country continue to raise questions about voting tabulation machines.  Concerns about voting machines were only worsened this week as the CEO of an election software company, Konnech Corporations, was arrested for stealing poll worker data in Michigan.  The concerns over voting tabulation machines have led to calls for machine voting to be suspended until more thorough investigations are done to ensure that data is not being mishandled and that they accurately tabulate votes.  In a significant move that could lead to similar decisions being made across the country, the Matanuska-Susitna Borough Assembly passed an ordinance that will prohibit the use of voting tabulation machines and make poll workers hand-tabulate ballots for the upcoming midterm elections.

How Different Would America Be Today if Trump was Still President?  This is the easiest column I've ever written.  It's so simple to imagine what America would be like today if Trump was still President.  What a tragedy that we allowed a brain-dead, feeble, confused, old man with dementia and diapers, and his radical, anti-American, globalist, communist handlers to destroy the greatest country in world history — in only 22 months.  Let's start with the obvious.  How did this happen?  The 2020 election was stolen.  That's how they removed Trump from office and installed a man who doesn't know who he is, where he is, or what he's doing.  A man who can't put 2 sentences together, and who can't attract more than 20 people in concentric circles to his speeches, yet they want us to suspend reality and believe he got 81 million votes — the most in history.  Bizarre.

Election Integrity Watchdog Files Lawsuits Over Millions of Cases of Voter Registration Fraud.  Conservative election law nonprofit Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) filed six lawsuits in six Minnesota counties over 515 duplicate registrants, as reported by Just the News.  They also found that 3.1 million registered voters in New York state were missing personal identification information, including driver's license numbers and Social Security numbers, which makes it difficult for the state to accurately maintain its voter rolls — precisely the objective on the Democrat side of the ledger in Democrat-controlled states.

Watchdog files lawsuits over voter registration duplicates, finds millions lacking required ID.  With midterm elections a month away, an election integrity watchdog has filed multiple lawsuits in Minnesota over duplicate registered voters while also finding millions of voter registrations in New York missing personal identifying information.  Public Interest Legal Foundation, a conservative election law nonprofit, filed six lawsuits in Minnesota counties over 515 duplicate registrants.  The lawsuits were filed in Nicollet, Dakota, Hennepin, Olmsted, Todd and Ramsey counties.  PILF also found that 3.1 million registered voters in New York were missing personal identifying information, such as a driver's license number or Social Security number, which makes it difficult for the state to accurately maintain its voter rolls.  Under the federal Help America Vote Act (HAVA), states are prohibited "from accepting a voter registration unless the voter registration contains a unique identifying number such as the last four digits of a social security number or driver's license number," according to a PILF press release.

RNC, AZ GOP sue Maricopa County over poll workers; board chair calls it 'absurd'.  Arizona's Republican Party and the Republican National Committee have sued Maricopa County officials over poll worker staffing and alleged failure to produce requested records.  The suit claims that central count boards in the county have unequal numbers of Democrats and Republicans.  It also alleges Maricopa County has not fully complied with records requests about poll workers.

Delaware Supreme Court Rules Mail-In Voting Unconstitutional and Strikes Down Same-Day Registration.  The Delaware Supreme Court ruled on Friday that mail-in voting is unconstitutional in the state.  [Tweets]

Supreme Court strikes down vote-by-mail, same-day registration.  In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court of Delaware has ruled the state's mail-in voting and same-day voter registration statutes unconstitutional.  Neither will be allowed in the Nov. 8 general election.  The ruling, which came just one day after oral arguments, is a major defeat for Gov. John Carney and Delaware Democrats.  In an abbreviated order, the court said the vote-by-mail statute "impermissibly expands the categories of absentee voters identified in Article V, Section 4A of the Delaware Constitution."  As for the same-day registration statute, the court said it conflicts with Article V, Section 4 of the Constitution.  The Supreme Court published its decision in a 3-page abbreviated order so as to allow as much time as possible for election officials and voters to communicate and understand changes to the upcoming election.  Traditional absentee voting is not affected by the court's decision.

Wisconsin Judge Rules That Electors Cannot Change Ballots After Voting.  In a win for election integrity, absentee voters can no longer change their vote after submitting their ballots, a Wisconsin judge has ruled.  As previously reported, Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections (RITE) filed a lawsuit against the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) for its unlawful guidance that allowed absentee voters to change their vote after their ballot had already been cast.  The guidance also allows election officials to "spoil" the old ballot on behalf of the voter, creating an environment ripe for voter fraud and confusion.  Such a directive violated Wisconsin statute, which states that a voter possesses the exclusive authority to spoil his absentee ballot before it is submitted, not after.  RITE argued that the guidance was against the law and could create opportunities for fraud and confusion.  Waukesha County Circuit Judge Brad Schimel agreed with RITE and ordered WEC to rescind its guidance on Wednesday.  The Democratic National Committee had joined WEC in fighting the lawsuit.

Election Software CEO Arrested For Storing Data In China Caught With Luggage On Way To MI Airport.  Earlier this week, we reported about a significant arrest that took place in LA County, CA, related to the 2020 elections.  On September 8, a reporter from 100 Percent Fed Up attended "The Pit," where True the Votes' Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips dropped a bombshell about the arrest of Eugene Yu, CEO of Konnech, an E. Lansing, MI-based company responsible for the software used in managing elections in several states that stored personal information of over 1 million Americans in its database.  Konnech, much like Dominion, almost immediately sued True the Vote as a way to silence them and keep them from speaking out about the bombshell information they provided to reporters at The Pit related to Konnech and the unlawful transfer of information from America to China.

Election Software CEO Arrested Over Data Theft, Storing Data on Servers in China.  The head of Konnech Corp., a Michigan-based software company, was arrested on Oct. 4 for allegedly stealing and storing personal data of Los Angeles County election workers on servers in China.  Konnech CEO Eugene Yu, 51, was arrested in Michigan on charges of stealing "the personal identifying information" of Los Angeles County election workers, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.  Investigators also seized computer hard drives and other digital data relevant to the case.  The office stated that it would seek Yu's extradition to Los Angeles. [...] Under the contract, Konnech was supposed to securely maintain the data and only provide access to U.S. citizens and permanent residents.  But investigators found that the company stored the data on servers in China.

Lawsuit: Michigan Secretary of State Broke The Law With Rogue Restrictions On Poll Challengers.  Even among the most extreme Democratic secretaries of state, Michigan's Jocelyn Benson stands out. [...] When a $12 million grant from Mark Zuckerberg — "Zuckbucks" — was funneled to Michigan through the left-wing Center for Election Innovation and Research (ostensibly to help government officials administer elections), the money did not go to the state but to Benson's nonprofit, the Michigan Center for Election Law and Administration.  While supposedly nonpartisan, this nonprofit used nearly all of the $12 million grant to pay Democratic consulting firms for "election security."  Benson also padded Michigan's voter rolls right before the election, sending out automatic voter registration forms to all eligible Michigan citizens.  As a result of the mailer, 114,000 people were added to the rolls.  Benson has not escaped scrutiny for her behavior.  She's been the subject of multiple lawsuits for neglecting to clean Michigan's voter rolls.  But most recently, Benson's come under fire for issuing last-minute guidance restricting the ability of Michiganders to oversee their local elections.

Arrest made in alleged election worker data breach; info stored in China.  The top executive of an election logistics software company that has clashed with groups alleging voter fraud was arrested Tuesday over the alleged theft of Los Angeles County poll workers' personally identifiable information, which investigators said was illegally stored in China.  Konnech Corp.  CEO Eugene Yu was arrested in Michigan and held on suspicion of stealing data from hundreds of poll workers.  His company had a contract with Los Angeles County to maintain the data and only provide access to U.S. citizens and permanent residents, but Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon's office said the company stored the information on servers in China.  Konnech's software is used to manage the nitty-gritty of holding elections, like scheduling poll workers.

[A] Large Garbage Bag [was] Used To Transfer Stacks of Absentee Ballots From [a] Detroit Drop Box.  Several months ago, the Gateway Pundit obtained surveillance video footage from 19 absentee ballot drop boxes in Detroit from the 2020 election. 100 Percent Fed Up began working with MC4EI (Michigan Citizens For Election Integrity), who poured through 16,000 hours of video footage to identify potential criminal activity that took place during the 2020 election.  So far, we've been able to share multiple cases of suspicious and possibly criminal activity taking place at several drop box locations.  From massive ballot drops of 40-50 ballots by individuals or teams of two individuals to hundreds of people taking photos of their hands dropping ballots into the drop boxes, to Dominion tabulators being delivered to a satellite voting center where top election officials say there are no tabulations taking place, we've been able to share a variety of suspicious activities taking place at Detroit satellite voting centers, that if Michigan had a law and order Attorney General or honest Secretary of State, would be under investigation.

Washington, DC, Democrats Approve Plan Allowing Illegal Aliens to Vote.  Democrats on the Washington, DC, City Council have approved a plan that would allow foreign nationals, including illegal aliens, to vote in local elections.  On Tuesday, the D.C. City Council voted 12-1 to advance a bill that will allow foreign nationals, regardless of if they have visas or are illegally in the United States, to vote in local elections such as school board races and mayoral elections.

Where Artificial Intelligence Can Expose Leftist Vote Fraud.  A.I. is a technology game two can play.  Remember those 2020 election voter rolls? [...] You've read the stories about the 23,000 Wisconsin voters using the same phone number and thousands of voters with "codes" that cannot be read by traditional computers as their voter IDs.  Our technology, Fractal Programming, found all that stuff for the Wisconsin voter team.  There was nothing "intelligent" in those data.  The only time we found anything coming close to the word "intelligent" was the lack of intelligence from secretaries of state, particularly Republicans.  There were the Alabama voters older than Genghis Khan, registered in 2020, who vote.  There were the Missouri voters registered in the Branson hotel.  There were the Texans who voted in person but their ballot later changed to absentee.  Remember that hapless Wisconsin voter whose voter ID was a single character, an apostrophe — such a small character that we thought it was a speck on our computer screen?  The original Wisconsin Fractal system grew almost overnight to a dozen or more states.  What was supposed to be a limited proof of concept exploded into the largest election database in the world — and that was only for 12 or 15 states.  We have the data for 25 more on deck.

Lawsuit: Wisconsin Elections Commission Let Electors Change Votes After Submitting Ballots.  Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections (RITE) filed a lawsuit against the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) last week over its unlawful guidance allowing absentee voters to change their votes after their ballots are cast.  In an Aug. 1, 2022, memorandum sent to all Wisconsin municipal clerks, WEC instructed that after a voter submits an absentee ballot, he can request to "spoil" that ballot and receive a new one if he changes his mind or makes a mistake.  Furthermore, in an Aug. 2 memo, WEC allows clerks to "invalidate" a "spoiled ballot" on behalf of the voter.  Such guidance violates Wisconsin statute, which states that a voter possesses the exclusive authority to spoil his absentee ballot before it is submitted, not after.  If the voter spoils his absentee ballot before he casts it, he must return the ballot to the clerk (who then destroys it) and request a new one.  With WEC's new guidance, however, a clerk may invalidate a "spoiled" ballot on behalf of the voter, thereby increasing the potential for fraud or abuse in the absentee voting process.

Petition Filed with the US Supreme Court Against Dominion, Facebook and CFCL in "A Case of Great National Importance".  A group of individuals filed a class action lawsuit against Dominion Voting Systems, Facebook, CTCL and Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, which is now going to the US Supreme Court.  This group claims that the defendants worked together with government employees in a concerted and coordinated effort to change the results of the 2020 Presidential Election in ways that go against the US Constitution.  Here is a timeline of how they got here.

YouTube restricts video of Dems, critics saying 2016 election was hacked, then backtracks.  YouTube cracked down on a video compilation of Democrats and media pundits questioning the legitimacy of former President Donald Trump's 2016 election victory — then overturned the move amid backlash on Thursday.  The TK News video — put together to highlight the partisan double standard over election denialism — had been tagged to run with limited or no ads, depriving the creators of vital revenue, TK's Matt Taibbi said in a Substack post.  The video includes clips of prominent liberals repeatedly calling Trump's presidency "illegitimate" and using the word "hacked" to describe the 2016 election.  "After manually reviewing your video, we've confirmed that it isn't suitable for all advertisers," the Google-owned video giant wrote to producer Matt Orfalea, according to the post.  "As a result, it will continue to run limited or no ads ... Your video remains playable and is still eligible to earn subscription revenue from YouTube Premium."

Ex-Democratic congressman sentenced to prison in years-long Pennsylvania election fraud scheme.  Expelled former Democratic congressman Michael "Ozzie" Myers has been sentenced to 30 months in prison for federal election fraud dating back to 2014, the Justice Department said Tuesday, and was immediately taken into custody.  Myers, 79, pleaded guilty in June to conspiracy to deprive voters of civil rights, bribery, obstruction of justice, falsification of voting records, and conspiring to illegally vote in a federal election as part of scams to stuff ballot boxes for certain Democratic candidates in Pennsylvania elections between 2014 and 2018, the DOJ said in a news release.  Prosecutors said some of the candidates were running to be judges and had hired Myers, who would use portions of "consulting fees" from his clients to pay others to interfere with election results.

Flint, Michigan Clerk Resigns After Elections Group Calls Out Lopsided Number Of Democrat Poll Watchers.  Flint, Michigan's longtime city clerk is retiring after an election integrity group sent a letter to her office demanding she balance out the number of Democrat and Republican election inspectors.  On Sept. 6, Pure Integrity Michigan Elections (PIME) and attorney Erick Kaardal of the Thomas More Society sent a demand letter to Flint and City Clerk Inez Brown threatening legal action if they do not balance out the number of partisan poll watchers before the November general election.  As previously reported, during Flint's Aug. 2 primary, the city hired 422 Democrats compared to just 27 Republican election inspectors — in direct violation of a Michigan state statute that requires equal representation of party election inspectors.

In Pennsylvania, Cleaner Elections Hinge on 3 Court Cases.  Pennsylvania essentially has a one-voter, one-ballot rule, meaning election law requires mailed and absentee ballots to be returned either by mail or in person by the voter to whom it belongs.  State law stipulates that each voter is allowed to place only his or her own ballot in a drop box, not the ballots of other voters.  However, according to the America First Legal Foundation, a security camera captured more than 330 individuals depositing multiple ballots into drop boxes during the state's primary election in June.  Under Pennsylvania law, this would make the ballots void and invalid, the legal foundation notes. [...] The legal foundation is asking the court to require the county election board to see to it that all drop boxes are monitored in person to ensure that they are used by only one person at a time delivering his or her own ballot.

Insidious voter fraud.  In March 2022, The Democrat-dominated Massachusetts State Legislature passed a new law that gives drivers' licenses to illegal immigrants and automatically registers them to vote at the time they get their license.  This law, in addition to all the other bad things it cements into place, creates an entirely new pool of bogus Democrat voters.  These people will be on the official voters' rolls — so they can vote in elections — but they're not U.S. citizens, and so they are technically not qualified to vote.  Conservatives went wild.  This law was never voted on by the people — it was created and pushed through by Democrat politicians to keep Democrats in power with several thousand new fake voters.  Opponents started an uphill grassroots signature campaign to get the measure onto the November ballot so the law can be voted on by the whole electorate.

Barr Lied! FOIA Requests Reveal There Were No DOJ Investigations on Election Fraud After 2020 Election as Bill Barr Claims.  In December 2020, US Attorney General Bill Barr [...] said there was no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election, defying President Donald Trump's ongoing efforts to reverse the results.  Barr repeated this claim several times since leaving office as President Trump's Attorney General.  Now there is proof that Bill Barr is and was lying.

The DOJ Is Hiding Biden's Voter Registration Plan.  The Justice Department (DOJ) has refused to release its mandated strategic plan about ways to champion voter registration and participation, according to the Foundation for Government Accountability.  President Joe Biden's March 2021 Executive Order on Promoting Access to Voting required every federal agency head to submit a plan within 200 days outlining methods the agency could use to promote voter registration and participation.  A Federal District Court decided earlier in summer 2022 that the DOJ must release documents on this matter to the FGA by Sept. 8, but the department withheld the plan, citing executive privilege, and revealed heavily redacted versions of other documents, the FGA revealed.  FGA President and CEO Tarren Bragdon said Americans "deserve to know if the Biden Administration's unprecedented action is fair and non-partisan."  He argued the DOJ must reveal the documents to ensure fair elections.

Retaining election records from the 2020 election.  Did the number of people who voted in the November 3, 2020 general election equal the number of ballots cast?  A recent research study by the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) says the records that would answer the question do not exist.  Records are supposed to be maintained to determine how many people have voted in an election and how many ballots have been cast.  Section 20701 of the Civil Rights Act of 1960 provides that election officials have to keep all records of federal primary, special, or general elections for 22 months after the date of the election.  Any willful violation can be punished by a fine of up to $1,000 or imprisonment for one year, or both.  Section 20702 provides similar penalties for the willful theft, destruction, concealment, mutilation, or alteration of any such record.  The purpose of these sections is to make it more difficult to hide election fraud.  How good of a job are election officials doing in retaining these records?

Why Is the DOJ Trying to Destroy Mike Lindell, the Pillow Guy?  [Scroll down] [Mike] Lindell was tracked down by FBI agents, corralled at a Hardee's of all places, served a subpoena, and ordered to turn over his cell phone. [...] It's impossible to give Merrick Garland's Department of Justice even the slightest benefit of the doubt in this day and age, as they have subpoenaed virtually half the free world and raided former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate on a seemingly endless fishing expedition.  Pillow Guy's story is equally murky; there are a lot of suspicions and dark insinuations thrown about by the FBI, but little in the way of facts that make you go, "oh man! Lindell really crossed the line on that one!"  Without boring the heck out of you, I'll try to sum it up quickly:  Lindell has been an outspoken critic of the 2020 presidential election and has regularly said he believes the outcome was fraudulent.  This would appear to be his worst crime.  But did he breach voting data machines?

Constitution Day: Liberty Once Lost May be Lost Forever.  [Scroll down] Frequent elections established by the Constitution provided yet another important mechanism to limit the extent and duration of government incompetence and corruption.  This also meant that the most sacred responsibility of citizenship established by the Constitution was and is the right of the people to vote and decide who shall govern.  This combination of limiting governmental power and maximizing peoples' rights makes the U.S. Constitution unique — the longest-running constitutional democratic republic in human history.  Nevertheless, when determined and dishonest people manipulate elections to fix outcomes to install people who can be compromised or to determine who gets power, any constitution can be fundamentally undermined and circumvented, causing disaster for the people.

Lawsuit Asking Benson to Clean Up Voter Roll Upheld.  The U.S. Western District Court of Michigan denied Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson's effort to dismiss the Public Interest Legal Foundation's (PILF) lawsuit for failing to remove deceased registrants from the state's voter roll.  In addition, the court denied the motions to intervene by the Detroit/Downriver Chapter of the A. Philip Randolph Institute and the Michigan Alliance for Retired Americans, and Rise, Inc.  In November 2021, the foundation filed a federal lawsuit against Secretary of State Benson for failure to remove 25,975 deceased registrants from the voter rolls.  The Foundation notified the Secretary of State about these deceased registrants one year before filing the lawsuit.  PILF's analysis of the deceased individuals reveals this breakdown:
  •   23,663 registrants have been dead for five years or more
  •   17,479 registrants have been dead for at least a decade
  •   3,956 registrants have been dead for at least 20 years

Don't Be Fooled: 'Nonpartisan' Get-Out-The-Vote Efforts Always Benefit Democrats.  Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson has said his city will use a private grant to conduct door-to-door canvassing by the city's election officials to urge people to vote.  To many people, it would seem that nothing could be as innocuous as a simple "nonpartisan" get-out-the-vote (GOTV) effort, even if it is financed by private grants to election officials.  It might sound fair enough, if the mayor's election staff takes no partisan position, and advocates for no particular candidates in their efforts, and given that election officials are required by law to operate in a nonpartisan fashion.  But as The Federalist's Mollie Hemingway tweeted at the time, "Zuckerberg-style targeted private financing — and collusion with supposedly non-partisan election administration — of GOTV operations in Democrat regions is a horrific attack on election integrity."

Facebook spied on private messages of Americans who questioned 2020 election.  Facebook has been spying on the private messages and data of American users and reporting them to the FBI if they express anti-government or anti-authority sentiments — or question the 2020 election — according to sources within the Department of Justice.  Under the FBI collaboration operation, somebody at Facebook red-flagged these supposedly subversive private messages over the past 19 months and transmitted them in redacted form to the domestic terrorism operational unit at FBI headquarters in Washington, DC, without a subpoena.  "It was done outside the legal process and without probable cause," alleged one of the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity.  "Facebook provides the FBI with private conversations which are protected by the First Amendment without any subpoena."

Audits, Recounts, and the Secret Ballot.  [Scroll down] If audits can't be our solution — and they simply can't — the only remaining option to secure our elections is to do it up front.  We have to take the firm steps of reducing the many opportunities there are to cheat — because once the cheating occurs, it's just too late to correct it.
  •   Ban the six-week election process and month of mail-in voting, and return to a single election day with tightly-controlled absentee ballot options.
  •   Ban onsite and last minute voter registration (except for challenges of voter roll deletions, which must permanently remain segregable even after the count, for security), to ensure enough time to confirm the address before the election.
  •   Mandate that real state-issued identification be checked before a vote is cast.
  •   Put cameras in the polling places, and film everything the poll workers and voters do — everything except the voter's ballot itself.
  •   Make every voter sign a statement (in his own language) acknowledging awareness that voting as a noncitizen, voting under someone else's name, or voting multiple times in the same election, are severe crimes.
  •   Ensure that every vote at least has a printed version for the voter to confirm before it is cast.
There's more, but that's the idea.  To operate a republic, the election process must be so secure that the results can truly be beyond question.  Unfortunately, today, the only question we have is how many races are stolen when the rightful winner's majority is insufficient to overcome the margin of fraud.

The Biden Administration Isn't Interested In Governing But In Criminalizing The Opposition.  Just to be clear: the Jan. 6 committee Democrats are proposing that anyone who thinks there was fraud in the 2020 election, anyone who thinks the election was something less than perfect, is fair game for hauling before the committee, being harassed by the FBI, having his property confiscated, maybe even indicted.  In their world, having the wrong opinion about the election is tantamount to a crime.  You might even get a visit from the FBI — better not delete your emails or destroy your devices.  (That only works if your last name rhymes with Flinton.)  Whatever the committee ends up doing, rest assured it is part of a larger effort to go beyond mere political theater and use the levers of government power to ensure that Trump cannot run again, that his supporters are under investigation, and that anyone who disagrees with the regime about the last election has a target on their back.

Facebook Worked With FBI to Spy on Americans Who Questioned 2020 Election.  According to Department of Justice sources, Facebook has been spying on the private messages and data of Americans who questioned the 2020 election results and reporting them to the FBI.  Since the election, Facebook has worked in conjunction with the FBI to report on "subversive" private messages, sending them to the FBI's domestic terrorism operational unit, supposedly in redacted form, a direct violation of Americans' First and Fourth Amendment rights.  "It was done outside the legal process and without probable cause," one of the sources told the New York Post.  "Facebook provides the FBI with private conversations which are protected by the First Amendment without any subpoena."  According to the Post, "These private messages then have been farmed out as 'leads' to FBI field offices around the country, which subsequently requested subpoenas from the partner US Attorney's Office in their district to officially obtain the private conversations that Facebook already had shown them."

Iran is Hacking Our Systems and Our Elections.  Ransomware, often paid out in cryptocurrency, has become a booming business especially for sanctioned economies like North Korea, Cuba, Russia, Venezuela and Iran.  The lines between state and private hackers is so thin as to often be imaginary.  Iran's hackers went well beyond ransomware to exactly the kind of election interference Dems pretend to care about.  When it isn't being conducted by one of their allied Islamic terror states.

Newly Discovered Police Body Cam Footage Implicates Top Tarrant County Texas Democrat Officials in Ballot Harvesting.  Newly discovered police body cam footage in Forth Worth, TX obtained by The Gateway Pundit shows that the claims made in True the Vote and Dinesh D'Souza's 2000Mules were not exclusive to the "swing states".  Or the 2020 election.  This footage implicates two top Democrat leaders in the county's party:  former Tarrant Co. Democratic Party (TCDP) chairwoman and now candidate for Tarrant Co Judge Deborah Peoples and the director at The Peoples Group, Stuart Clegg.  Clegg was also the executive director for the TCDP and Peoples was a member of the Tarrant County election board and commission responsible for overseeing the integrity of county elections.  You may remember Tarrant County from the 2020 election:  it was a red county for 56 years until the COVID lockdowns and a massive push for the fraud-ridden universal mail-in ballot system.

Maricopa County Under Fire for Appointing More Democrat than Republican Poll Workers.  The Republican National Committee (RNC) is demanding answers from Maricopa County officials after they appointed fewer Republican poll workers than Democrats, despite a legal obligation to have an equal number of poll workers, according to a letter obtained by Breitbart News.  Arizona law requires election officials to hire "an equal number" of Republican and Democrat election inspectors at all voting locations.  However, Maricopa county, which was the focus of several lawsuits and a contested recount stemming from the 2020 presidential election, hired over 100 more Democrat poll workers than Republicans during its August primary elections.

Proposed D.C. Bill Would Automatically Send Mail-In Ballots To Residents That Are Unregistered To Vote.  A newly proposed bill in Washington, D.C. would allow the city to automatically send mail-in ballots to all residents deemed eligible to vote, even if they aren't registered.  According to the digital magazine Bolts, "the city would take information it collects when residents interact with the Department of Motor Vehicles [(DMV)] and other agencies to maintain a constantly-updating list of people who are 'preapproved' to vote," with the only task left to the individuals listed being "to vote come election time."  Under the proposed law, "as long as someone has provided certain documents, the city would verify and record them as eligible: This would pre-qualify them as voters, even when they're not formally on voter rolls," the Bolts report reads.  "D.C. would then send people on this preapproved list a mail-in ballot for every election during the following two years.  They would never need to proactively register ... D.C. would also inform them that they can return a ballot or head to the polls to activate their registration."

DOJ Conceals Records About Biden's Use Of Federal Agencies To Influence Elections.  The Department of Justice (DOJ) is concealing key documents related to President Joe Biden's March 2021 order that directed executive agencies to develop plans for federal interference in state election administration.  On Sept. 8, the Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA) was scheduled to receive a series of government records from the DOJ that detailed how the agency is complying with Executive Order 14019.  That order mandated all federal departments to "consider ways to expand citizens' opportunities to register to vote and to obtain information about, and participate in, the electoral process."  Among these included the DOJ's 15-page "strategic plan" on how the agency intends to comply with Biden's executive order.  Instead of releasing the documents FGA requested pursuant to federal open records laws, however, the Biden DOJ released only a few records pertaining to the order, most of which were heavily redacted.

Why ballots must remain secret.  The biggest problem with the 2020 election, and it looks like the 2022 election as well, is the loss of the secret ballot by means of mass mail-in voting.  Non-secret ballots have a long history in America, none of it good.  Two major movements to expunge non-secret ballots from America, one in the political arena and the other in the corporate, took place.  The latter, like its main impetus, Wilma Soss, has been too easily forgotten given its crucial importance to the efficiency of the economy.

Everyone Around Biden Is an Election Denier, Including Him.  If you watched Joe Biden's primetime speech on Thursday, you would have seen him insist that anyone who questions the results of an election is a "threat to our democracy."  "Democracy cannot survive when one side believes that there are only two outcomes to an election: either they win or they were cheated," he claimed.  "And that's where MAGA Republicans are today."  Conveniently absent from his speech was the acknowledgment that Democrats have a long history of believing that the only two outcomes of an election are when they win or the election was stolen — including himself.  In 2020, when a supporter of his told him she thought Trump was an illegitimate president, he agreed.  In 2013, he also said he believed that Al Gore won the 2000 presidential election that he actually lost.  Biden's vice president, Kamala Harris, also said that Trump was an illegitimate president.  Biden's press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, also believes the 2016 election was stolen from Hillary.  On top of that his own chief of staff, Ron Klain, still believes that the 2000 election was "stolen" from Al Gore.

Electoral Fraud Goes Mainstream.  If you're one of those crazy "election deniers," you're not alone — the RNC website recently listed over 150 examples of Democrats claiming fraudulent election results, but only in elections they lost.  A YouTube video shows similar whiny complaints from Hilary Clinton, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, and scores more.  Ask yourself, if there is no election fraud, then everything is fine, but what if it's true that elections can be rigged to favor one side or the other?  What would the consequences be if Americans no longer had the ability to choose their elected officials?  Why wouldn't you support anything that would secure accurate voting results in every local, state, and national election?

Clinton-Appointed Federal Judge Bars Arizona Officials From Enforcing New Law To Remove Dead Voters, Nonresidents, And Non-Citizens From Voter Rolls.  A Clinton-appointed federal Judge blocked a new Arizona election integrity law from being enforced in the upcoming 2022 General Election.  HB2247 is meant to clean the voter rolls and remove registrants who are registered in another state and no longer live in Arizona.  The new law would add a statement on voter registration forms, specifying that if a registrant permanently moves to another state after registering in this state, their registration will be canceled.  It would also direct the county recorder to cancel a voter registration when they confirm that the registered person is dead, that the person is not an Arizona resident or resident of that County, or that they are not a citizen of the United States.

Snap 'Accidentally' Gave Democratic Campaigns Access to Republican Voter Data.  Social media giant Snap reportedly made an "error" that gave leading Democratic campaigns and party committees access to a huge repository of Republican voter data, allowing them to tailor their midterm ads.  Axios reports the social media giant Snap claims to have made a mistake that allowed top Democratic campaigns and party committees to tap into a huge repository of Republican voter data, allowing them to hone and tailor their midterm ads.

RNC, Other Conservative Groups File Lawsuit Against Pennsylvania For Illegally Altering Ballots.  The Republican National Committee (RNC) announced on Friday that it will lead a lawsuit against the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania over the issue of illegally "curing" ballots in elections, a process whereby election workers alter incomplete or unreadable ballots rather than treating them as the law requires.  "The RNC is joining with the NRSC, NRCC, Pennsylvania GOP, and concerned Pennsylvania voters to sue the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for unequal treatment of its citizens at the ballot box.  Pennsylvania Democrats, led by Governor Tom Wolf, are unconstitutionally flouting the law by failing to adopt uniform rules for how elections in the Keystone State are run," said RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel in a statement. "This lawsuit will ensure that Pennsylvania voters have confidence in their elections and underscores the Republican Party's commitment to making it easier to vote and harder to cheat in Pennsylvania and nationwide."

13 Minutes of Never-Before-Seen Footage of Ballot Trafficking in Detroit, Michigan — Including Postal Workers!.  Election Integrity investigators in Detroit, Michigan captured never-before-seen footage of DOZENS of ballot traffickers dumping HUNDREDS of ballots into ballot drop boxes during the 2020 US presidential election.  The exclusive drop-box footage from the 2020 presidential election was obtained by The Gateway Pundit and Attorney John Burns.  The MC4EI team in Michigan spent hours scouring through the thousands of hours of security camera footage to put together this explosive 13-minute video.

Alaska: Republicans received 60% of vote and lost the race to a Democrat with 40% of vote due to ranked-choice voting.  Democrat Mary Peltola defeated Sarah Palin in the Alaska Special election to replace Rep. Don Young in Congress.  She is the first Democrat to win the House seat in solid red Alaska in 50 Years!  Ranked-choice voting and mail-in ballots were implemented by referendum in 2020. Republicans allowed this to happen.  Now the state is likely lost forever to Democrat cheating and maneuvering.

6 Ways Democrats Are 'Threatening Democracy'.  [#5] Undermining Election Integrity: Biden plans to focus his speech on shaming the conservative movement as one "that does not recognize free and fair elections."  But it's his administration, not the GOP, that is actively engaged in a federal takeover of elections.  Using Executive Order 14019, Biden demanded all federal agencies to create voter registration campaigns, even if that means ignoring state election rules and regulations and partnering with left-wing groups.  That's on top of all of the election shenanigans, rigging, and law-breaking Democrats have routinely used to meddle in U.S. elections.  Whether it's pushing ranked-choice voting to keep their preferred candidates in office, adding practices susceptible to fraud such as widespread mail-in balloting to elections last minute, or gladly accepting the political influence of Big Tech via Zuckbucks, Democrats are guilty of working overtime to make sure it's blue candidates, not red ones, who win at the polls.  At the same time, they conspire to do "whatever it takes" to keep Trump out of office, the sham January 6 Committee, Democrats, their NeverTrump allies, and the corrupt corporate media actively work to dismiss the legitimate election integrity concerns plaguing voters.

Dishonest 'journalism' rules the airwaves.  Turns out, evidence suggests that Mark Zuckerberg facilitated election fraud in Wisconsin, and the story was buried.  Instead, the media and other Democrats claim the election was the "most secure" and anyone who questions it is a threat to democracy, an election denier, and an election liar.  Former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice Mike Gableman alleged an "election bribery scheme" after conducting an investigation into anomalies.

Baked Alaskan: 60% of voters cast ballots for Republicans.  A Democrat won.  What happens when you combine an all-in or "jungle" primary with ranked-choice voting in the general election?  Putting the two modern "innovations" on elections together in Alaska produced this absurd result, in which Republicans lost a House seat despite getting 60% of the vote.  And get ready for it to happen all over again in two months:  [Tweet]

Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Jeanine Pirro and Lou Dobbs are deposed as part of $1.6 billion Dominion Voting lawsuit.  Fox News hosts Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, Jeanine Pirro and Lou Dobbs have all been deposed over allegations they perpetuated election fraud lies and damaged the reputation of Dominion Voting by hosting friends and advocates of Donald Trump on-air.  Dominion filed a lawsuit against Fox News in March last year, alleging the network deliberately spread a false narrative that its machines and counting systems were rigged in favor of President Joe Biden.  It was a story that every news outlet in the world covered, but Dominion claims that Fox gave a particularly sympathetic ear to Trump's claims.  Carlson and Pirro were deposed last week whereas Dobbs was deposed yesterday.  Hannity is due to be questioned today, and Maria Bartiromo will be questioned next week.

Evidence of Democrats' conspiracy to sway [the] 2020 election [is] getting too big to hide.  [Scroll down] Dozens of former intelligence community leaders — those with the wherewithal and experience to recognize that Hunter Biden's laptop was legitimate — signed on to a letter discrediting the report as Russian disinformation.  They gave Facebook and Twitter the justification they needed to squash the story — even though it was true. [...] Hunter Biden's laptop had the potential to change the outcome of the 2020 election, and everyone knew it.  That's why the FBI allegedly delayed its investigation into Hunter Biden until after the election; why the New York Times and Washington Post confirmed that Hunter Biden's laptop was legitimate only after Biden was in office; and why Big Tech tycoons such as Zuckerberg are only admitting they were wrong to crack down on the story years after the fact.  They were all in on it.  It was a full-court press by our institutions to interfere in the 2020 election.  And thanks to a group of FBI whistleblowers — something we've never had before — it's all starting to come to light.

Arizona Supreme Court Election Integrity Wins over Soros Ballot Measure.  Supporters for election integrity scored a major victory Friday when the Arizona Supreme Court held that Proposition 210 — a ballot initiative to undo Arizona's new election integrity law, financed with George Soros's money — cannot be on the November ballot due to a lack of valid signatures.  Arizona is one of the states that, in the aftermath of the 2020 election, decided that statutory reforms were needed to make it easy to vote, but hard to cheat, to increase public confidence in the election result.

Black Americans File Federal Lawsuit Against NYC for Law Allowing Foreign Nationals to Vote.  A handful of black Americans, residing in New York City, have filed a federal lawsuit against the city's Board of Elections for a local law that would allow nearly a million foreign nationals to vote in citywide elections.  As Breitbart News has chronicled, Democrats on the 51-member New York City Council approved a plan last month that allows more than 800,000 foreign nationals with green cards, visas, and work permits the opportunity to vote in citywide elections so long as they have resided in the city for at least 30 consecutive days.

Black voters say NYC's immigrant voting plan is racially motivated attempt to shift power.  Black residents in New York filed a lawsuit Monday [8/29/2022] arguing that the city's attempt to allow noncitizens to vote in municipal elections is unconstitutional because it was a "racially motivated" move to siphon political power from Black residents to other racial or ethnic minorities.  The lawsuit, filed by the Public Interest Legal Foundation on behalf of four residents, said city council members who wrote the law last year made explicit racial appeals, saying they wanted to change "the color of the skin" of people who were voting in elections.  And that hurts Black voters in particular, because the new noncitizen voters will be heavily Hispanic and Asian, and are expected to dilute the strength of Blacks in a city where voting breaks down along racial lines, the plaintiffs said.

Donald Trump: Declare Me Rightful Winner or Redo 'Fraud' 2020 Election.  President Donald Trump argued Monday that he should be declared the winner of the 2020 election, citing fraud and election interference by the FBI.  The former president pointed to reports that the FBI worked to bury the story about Hunter Biden's laptop on social media right before the 2020 election.  "This is massive FRAUD & ELECTION INTERFERENCE at a level never seen before in our Country," Trump wrote on social media.  Trump said the FBI purposefully tried to stop him from winning the 2020 election.

Montana election integrity organization found more than 120,000 invalid votes cast during 2020 election.  More evidence has emerged detailing how massive the Democrat-led fraud was during the 2020 election that was stolen from President Donald Trump and Republicans.  While much of the attention post-2020 has focused on battleground states like Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Arizona and Georgia, other states appear to have suffered major fraud as well, including Montana, a new report notes.  The Montana Election Integrity Project said that its investigators found more than 120,000 invalid votes out of a sample of just over 612,000 cast.  The organization "canvassed six Montana counties to ask questions about the Montana 2020 General Election in which 612,075 votes were cast.  The counties canvassed were Carbon, Flathead, Lewis & Clark, Missoula, Ravalli, and Yellowstone," the report says, according to the group's website.  "Of the 4,347 voters for whom the canvassers obtained information, we found 1,138 voters who cast votes which are considered to be invalid.  This is 26.2% of the voters canvassed.  Extrapolated across the whole state of Montana this represents 120,261 invalid votes!" the site continued.

Judge Denies Michigan Secretary of State's Motion To Dismiss Lawsuit Removing 26,000 Dead Registrants From Voter Rolls.  In a win for election integrity advocates, the United States Western District Court of Michigan denied Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson's attempt at dismissing Public Interest Legal Foundation's (PILF) lawsuit pertaining to the failure to remove dead registrants from the state's voter rolls.  The court also dismissed motions to intervene from leftist groups, such as the A. Philip Randolph Institute, the Michigan Alliance for Retired Americans, and Rise, Inc.  In 2020, PILF had notified the Secretary of State's office about dead registrants remaining on Michigan's voter rolls, but Benson did nothing about it.  In November 2021, the nonprofit filed a lawsuit against Benson for her failure to remove 25,975 deceased registrants from voter lists.  According to PILF's own analysis of the 25,975 deceased registrants:
  •   23,663 registrants have been dead for five years or more
  •   17,479 registrants have been dead for at least a decade
  •   3,956 registrants have been dead for at least 20 years

The Debate Continues as Dominion Deposes Hannity, Carlson, Others Over Trump's 2020 Election 'Narrative'.  Month after month, news cycle after news cycle, some things never change, including the never-ending debate about the 2020 presidential election, with allegations that the election was "rigged" and "stolen," Donald Trump's role in the aftermath, and, on a journalistic sidetrack, the $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems against Fox News for claiming Dominion was complicit in voter fraud.  So, here's the question, in this case: Was Dominion a villain or victim?  The answer depends on which side one is predisposed to believe.  For those in the middle, questions remain for both sides.

Lake v Hobbs Case in Arizona Dismissed.  We're Sure You Can Guess Why.  In one of the plaintiff's allegations, they claimed that the election equipment must undergo "thorough testing by independent, neutral experts" according to ARS 16-442(A)(B).  While Lake v Hobbs does not deal with the 2020 election, it is worth noting that Arizona machines in 2020 were not certified by an accredited testing lab.  Furthermore, it must also be noted that these testing laboratories have a glaring conflict of interest in certifying these machines.  They are paid to do this work by the manufacturer of the machines they're certifying.

Democrat-Linked Group Claims 96,000 Extra Immigrant Voters in Georgia.  A Democrat-backed group claims to have naturalized almost 100,000 legal immigrants in Georgia before the November elections.  "Over 96,000 newly naturalized Americans in the state, who naturalized between 2016 and 2020, could significantly influence the outcome of the 2022 midterm elections,' said the press statement by National Partnership for New Americans (NPNA), the SEIU union, and various Georgia-based, pro-migration groups. [...] The naturalization includes many Indians, who are one of the most pro-diversity, pro-Democratic immigrant blocs.  "The number of newly naturalized citizens originally from India, 11,188, is nearly equal to the margin of victory during the November 2020 presidential election," the statement said.  Georgia used to be a solidly red state.  However, the growing number of legal and illegal migrants recruited by businesses has allowed the Democrats to gain state seats and to win a national Senate majority in 2021 when Georgians elected two Democrat Senators.

Former WI Justice Michael Gableman Calls Out ERIC System and WI Election Fraud at Moment of Truth Summit.  Former WI Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman was contracted by RINO Robin Vos to conduct an in-depth investigation into the 2020 election.  In this investigation, he found massive discrepancies in the way the WEC conducted the 2020 election.  Justice Gableman called for the legislature in Wisconsin to "take a very hard look at decertification". [...] He also said "ERIC's stated purpose is to keep our election rolls accurate.  That is a lie.  Lets just say that... that is a lie.  What is my evidence?  The evidence is in WI we have approximately 5.5M citizens.  Of whom, approximately 4M are eligible to vote.  So if I ask you 'how many people, at most, should WI have on its voter rolls?'  If you're tracking, you'll say no more than 4M.  That's the number of eligible voters.  We have over 7m names on those voter rolls... The excess of which is all available to the George Soros funded ERIC.  And they can do whatever they want with those names and we're not allowed to know.  Neither we nor any other state is allowed to know."

Court Rejects Democrat Official's Attempt to Keep 26K Dead People on Michigan Voter Rolls.  The U.S. Western District Court of Michigan denied a plea by Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson (D) that sought to halt a lawsuit alleging she kept nearly 26,000 dead registrants on the state's voter rolls.  In November 2021, as Breitbart News reported, the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) filed suit against Benson accusing her of keeping nearly 26,000 dead registrants on Michigan voter rolls and thus violating the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).  Benson, in response, sought to have the lawsuit thrown out.  On Thursday, the district court denied Benson's effort to dismiss the case.  "It is astonishing that Secretary Benson is so vigorously opposing effective list maintenance," PILF President J. Christian Adams said in a statement.

Out of Outrage.  [Scroll down] It was before the stolen election, when all of the gears were lining up and no one put a stop to it.  It was when witness after witness, whistleblower after whistleblower came forward to attest to the steal and the more than 50% of the people who thought there were significant errors in the election, but no one seemed interested in investigating the most important threat to the republic as has ever taken place in the open broadness of daylight.  Silence.  It was in the recognition that something like that could take place and be swept under the rug, that literally NO ONE on the left felt the slightest loyalty to the union to demand that an accounting take place and to allow for the chips to fall where they may.  Civil war occurs when a significant percentage of the political class and those close to the sources of power no longer have any loyalty to the existing political structure or the abuses that structure prevents.

26 Baltimore Residents Received Their 2020 Ballots in the Mail Three Weeks Ago.  According to Just The News, some voters in Baltimore received their mail-in ballots earlier this month.  The bad news is that those ballots were for the 2020 election.  On Aug. 5, 2022, a tray of undelivered ballots was discovered.  To the post office's credit, they were delivered to the homes in Southeast Baltimore on Aug. 6.  Better late than... never?  It's easy to write this one off.  After all, we're only talking about 26 votes in a traditionally blue state that Biden won with 1,985,023 votes to Trump's 976,414.  The results were probably a foregone conclusion.  But during my years as a reporter, I covered a city council election in which the incumbent won by a single vote.  And while 26 ballots were not enough to swing things one way or the other for the Oval Office, it would be interesting to see if they would have affected any down-ballot candidate races or propositions.

Two Years after election, Post Office just now finds 2020 ballots.  While President Donald Trump, and many others, have been expressing concern over anomalies that became evident during the 2020 presidential election, Democrats and many establishment figures in the Washington, D.C., bureaucracy have expressed that it was flawless, nearly perfect, without so much as a hint of a failure.  Now a Post Office in Baltimore apparently has turned up evidence of that perfection.  WMAR-TV, the city's ABC affiliate, said the USPS facility found a tray of undelivered mail, and it included 26 blank ballots from 2020.  The letters were just delivered.  And now, the Baltimore Board of Elections is trying "to understand" how this happened.  It's long been known that mail-in ballots are more susceptible fraud than in-person voting, but there's no information about whether that was the intent with this situation.

Florida Gov Ron DeSantis announces 20 people across the state have been charged with voter fraud for casting ballots after they were convicted of murder or sexual assault.  Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Thursday that 20 people across his state have been charged with voter fraud.  The governor did not say in what election they had voted but said they had come from Broward, Palm Beach and Miami Dade counties and had been arrested for voting 'because they were convicted of murder or sexual assault.'  Floridians passed a constitutional amendment restoring felons' voting rights after they've after they've served their sentences and paid all fines, fees and restitution, but those convicted of a sex offense or murder are banned from voting forever unless they are granted a pardon to do so.

Florida in Process of Arresting 20 Individuals for Voter Fraud.  Florida is in the process of arresting 20 individuals who have been charged for voter fraud, Sunshine State officials announced Thursday [8/18/2022].  Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed landmark election integrity legislation in April, creating an Office of Election Crimes and Security under Florida's State Department, which reviews and investigates allegations of voter fraud.

Most Americans Support Election Audits Immediately After Polling Day.  A majority of American voters support states requiring audits "immediately after elections" to protect election integrity, according to a new poll by Rasmussen Reports sponsored by The National Pulse.  Asked, "Should every state require that ballots be available immediately after elections for bipartisan voter reviews to enhance election confidence and transparency?"  56 percent of likely voters supported the idea while just 23 percent of likely voters opposed it.  The Rasmussen data showed that 68 percent of Republicans — considerably more than just 45 percent of their Democrat-voting counterparts — supported the push for election integrity.  57 percent of Independents were also in support.

104% of Voting Aged Population In MI Is Registered To Vote!  For months, grassroots groups have sounded the alarm about ERIC (Electronic Registration Information Center), a system used in 31 states that was originally funded by the Soros Open Society, and how it is bloating the voter rolls.  Now, evidence indicates ERIC is politically compromised.  Meanwhile, the clock ticks down to the 2022 election, even as the number of Michigan's registered voters climbs dangerously — and impossibly — to 104% of its Voting Aged Population (VAP).

Census Bureau Admits Overcounting 7 Blue States, Just 1 Red State.  In a shocking report, the U.S. Census Bureau recently admitted that it overcounted the populations of eight states and undercounted the populations of six states in the 2020 census.  All but one of the states overcounted is a blue state, and all but one of the undercounted states is red.  Those costly errors will distort congressional representation and the Electoral College.  It means that when the Census Bureau reapportioned the House of Representatives, Florida was cheated out of two additional seats it should have gotten; Texas missed out on another seat; Minnesota and Rhode Island each kept a representative they shouldn't have; and Colorado was awarded a new member of the House it didn't deserve.  These harmful errors also mean billions in federal funds will be misallocated. Funding for many federal programs is distributed to the states based on population.  Overcounted states will now receive a larger share of federal funds than they are entitled to, at the expense of the undercounted states.

U.S. Postal Service Just Institutionalized Election Interference With New Mail-In-Ballot Division.  Starbucks recently asked the National Labor Relations Board to suspend all pending and ongoing votes to unionize at its U.S. stores due to concerns stemming from mail-in ballots.  The franchise's objections once again raise questions about the credibility of election systems that rely on mail-in ballots.  As with coffee companies, how much more with the American electoral process?  With hundreds of millions of dollars of campaign material and increasing numbers of ballots in the mail, postal efficiency and honesty are becoming increasingly vital to free and fair elections.  Ostensibly to address some of these concerns, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) announced on July 28 that it was creating the Election and Government Mail Services division.

NBA Will Not Schedule Games on Election Day.  The NBA will not be scheduling any games on the midterm election day, but all 30 teams will play the night before on November 7, the Associated Press stated.  The league looks to use this as an opportunity to encourage its fans to get out and vote to "amplify the need for civic engagement."

It doesn't take all day to vote.  The polls are open for twelve hours on Election Day.  Anybody who really wants to vote can do so.

Judge Blocks Texas Restrictions on Using P.O. Boxes For Voter Registration.  Some 5,000 Texans who used a P.O. box as a voter registration address will likely be able to cast a ballot in the state's midterm elections after a federal judge blocked a 2021 state election law.  Senate Bill 1111 attempted to tighten residency guidelines for Texas voters, but was struck down this month by U.S. District Court Judge Lee Yeakel, an appointee under former president George W. Bush.  Yeakel, who presides over the Austin Division for the Western District of Texas, found in a summary judgement that the state used vague language in the election law and parts of it failed constitutional scrutiny.  Texas' Attorney General Ken Paxton appealed the decision last week to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, according to State Sen. Paul Bettencourt (R-Houston), who authored the election bill.

L.A. Claims 27% Error Rate in Recall Signatures; < 1% Error Rate in Mail-in Ballots in 2020.  Los Angeles County reported Monday that over 27% of the signatures submitted on petitions to recall District Attorney George Gascón were invalid — after reporting that less than 1% of mail-in ballots were invalid in the 2020 election.  The county reported that it rejected 195,783 of the 715,833 signatures submitted, roughly 27.3%.  The reasons given included that some voters were found to be unregistered; incorrect addresses were given; or signatures did not match those on file.

Gascón Recall Campaign Will Review Rejected Signatures; Possible Legal Action.  The campaign to recall Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón will review the signatures that were rejected by county officials, a spokesperson told Breitbart News, one day after enough signatures were rejected to defeat the recall effort.  Gascón, who took office in December 2020 after being elected with the help of millions of dollars in spending by left-wing billionaire George Soros, has pursued radical "reform" policies that many voters blame for a surge of violent crime in L.A.  He is one of 75 "progressive" prosecutors Soros has installed across the country.  In July, the recall campaign handed in 26% more than the required target of 566,857 signatures.  But on Monday, county officials claimed that 27% of the signatures had been invalid for a variety of reasons, causing the recall effort to fail.

Suddenly, mail-in voting can't be trusted!
Starbucks calls for halt of mail-in voting for union elections.  Seattle-based Starbucks has requested that the National Labor Relations Board temporarily suspend mail-in-voting in union elections over allegations that labor board personnel coordinated with union representatives to improperly influence voting.  In a Monday letter to the chairman and general counsel of the NLRB, Starbucks alleges "highly improper, systemic misconduct" and that board agents secretly coordinated with union agents in a concerted effort to "tip the scales" in favor of the union in an election at an Overland, Kansas location.

Democratic Operatives Control Voter Rolls In 31 States, Report Shows.  A prominent voter-roll management system used by 31 states and the District of Columbia has politically compromised ties, according to a new report by independent research group Verity Vote.  The Electronic Registration Information Center, or ERIC, was sold to states as a quick and easy way to update their voter rolls.  Started in 2012 by far-left activist David Becker and the left-leaning Pew Charitable Trusts, the program is ostensibly run by the member states themselves.  But as public records show, Democratic operatives are working overtime under the cover of ERIC to accomplish their partisan goals and drive Democratic voter turnout.

Census errors will distort elections, funding for next decade.  In a shocking report, the U.S. Census Bureau recently admitted that it overcounted the populations of eight states and undercounted the populations of six states in the 2020 census.  All but one of the states overcounted is a blue state, and all but one of the undercounted states is red.  Those costly errors will distort congressional representation and the Electoral College.  It means that when the Census Bureau reapportioned the House of Representatives, Florida was cheated out of two additional seats it should have gotten; Texas missed out on another seat; Minnesota and Rhode Island each kept a representative they shouldn't have, and Colorado was awarded a new member of the House it didn't deserve.

Isn't it remarkable that the "errors" all go in the same direction?

Vote-by-mail is the worst way to run an election.  2020 was the first time an election was conducted by mass vote-by-mail.  It was a train wreck.  According to federal data, election officials do not know what happened to nearly 15 million mail ballots in 2020.  Some of these ballots were blowing in the winds on Nevada roads, and some were in stacks on apartment lobby floors.  Some ended up in landfills.  No surprise considering that the United States Post Office aspired to a 95% success rate in getting election mail delivered on time.  Put another way, the post office was content with a 5% failure rate.

President Trump is Our 'Canary in the Coal Mine'.  There have been a host of election process investigations since November, 2020, when Donald Trump, who won 74 million popular votes, was declared to have lost to Joe Biden's alleged 81 million, in a total purported voting population of 158 million.  This would be an increase of 22 million over the turnout in 2016, in a country in which the only significant population demographic that's increasing is that of non-citizens.  It is statistically dubious, leading to the logical conclusion that a lot of those votes, certainly millions if not tens of millions, were fabricated.  What have almost all the investigations found?  Even the most cursory review of their findings shows numerous opportunities for fraud — the lack of ID checks, the opportunity for round-tabling, the lack of any chain of custody in most non-election day voting... dozens of methods putting tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of votes per state in question.  Nonetheless, these reports always conclude that they cannot "prove" that fraud occurred.

Kansas Recounting Abortion Vote Amid Fear of Irregularities in Voting Data.  After the defeat of a proposed constitutional amendment in Kansas that would have affirmed that there is no "constitutional right to abortion," conservatives have launched the first recount of a state ballot measure in 30 years.  The Associated Press reported that the amendment failed by 18 percentage points, or approximately 165,000 votes.  The organizer of the recount, Melissa Leavitt, has reportedly put up the $220,000 bond required by Kansas law to cover the costs of the hand recount, citing data irregularities she says she saw in the days following the election.

The 2024 Election Is Being Rigged Right Now In Plain Sight.  [Scroll down]  The system, called the Electronic Registration Information Center, or ERIC, is supposedly a convenient tool that simply allows states to update their voter rolls.  But its real purpose, according to a recent report by independent research group Verity Vote, is to boost Democrat voter turnout by forwarding state voter roll data, including records from unregistered voters, to CEIR.  As Marshall reports, "CEIR then develops targeted mailing lists and sends them back to the states to use for voter registration outreach.  As part of their agreement with ERIC, states are not allowed to disclose any data they send to nor receive from ERIC, however, ERIC is not under the same constraints and is able to work with CEIR."  In addition, it seems ERIC doesn't exist to purge or update voter rolls so much as to inflate them, identifying 17 million new voters in 2020 compared to purging just 3 million from state voter rolls.  Despite its failure to clean voter rolls, a majority of states are still using the system, which is run by a left-wing activist named David Becker.

Robin Vos fires Michael Gableman, leaving GOP election review in limbo.  After 14 months, hundreds of headlines, more than $1 million in taxpayer dollars and a bitter, public feud, Assembly Speaker Robin Vos on Friday fired Michael Gableman, the former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice he hired last summer to review Wisconsin's 2020 presidential election.  The speaker's decision came just days after Gableman — and former President Donald Trump — endorsed Vos' primary opponent, Adam Steen, whom the speaker narrowly defeated Tuesday.  Speaking to reporters after unofficial results came in on election night, Vos called Gableman "an embarrassment to the state" and said he would speak with members of his caucus about the former justice's future.  In a statement on Friday [8/12/2022], Vos said, after hearing from members of his caucus since Tuesday, "it is beyond clear to me that we only have one choice in this matter, and that's to close the Office of Special Counsel."

Elections Belong to the States.  For all state elections, it's very clear that the state legislature has the authority to write laws about how they are conducted.  For example, the legislature in Florida could declare that elections for state officeholders would only be on February 29, on Pi Day (March 14, 3.14 in European notation), or some other silly rule.  But as long as that rule was applied evenly and did not prevent any particular group of otherwise eligible Florida voters from voting, it would be legal.  The same rule applies to voter registration.  The 26th Amendment does require states to allow 18-year-olds to vote but otherwise creates no other specific rules.  States are fully free to restrict non-citizens from voting because the 26th Amendment only guarantees the franchise to citizens.  We could go on with a long list of other possible rules, but note that I have said absolutely nothing yet about federal elections.

It Happened Again:  Cherokee County, Kansas Election Results Reversed After "Vote Flip" Discovered.  Nothing to see here, folks.  Just a human error, technical glitch, or "we caught it in time". Those are the excuses we hear every single time.  Every time.  Antrim County, Dekalb County, Williamson County, Windham, NH. The list goes on and on and on of jurisdictions that have some "human error" or "technical glitch" that causes votes to flip, change or swap.  Enter our latest example:  Cherokee County, Kansas.  Not to be confused with Cherokee County, GA that recently went against the will of their constituents by refusing to conduct a hand recount and sided with highly questionable legal guidance from a conflicted attorney who used to work for the Secretary of States Office that is being called into question.

Fraud and Future Elections.  Michigan Republican and former state senator Patrick Colbeck is facing potential legal action over his allegations of widespread fraud in the 2020 U.S. presidential election. [...] Curiously, there does not seem to be any defamation action against The New York Times, which in June 2020 quoted bipartisan election-security experts and a federal judge who called Georgia's recently purchased $100 million Dominion system "insecure."  The same article pointed out that the company's products failed certification in Texas the previous year.  Nor has the Associated Press run askance of Dominion lawyers, despite its 2018 report citing experts who accused Dominion and its major competitors of having "long skimped on security in favor of convenience, making it more difficult to detect intrusions."  The article mentioned "chronic problems" and "multiple critical vulnerabilities" dating back eight years.  CNN seems immune to defamation charges as well.

Welcome To The Banana Republic of Biden!  [Scroll down]  The primary election results in Arizona only accelerated the process.  Trump-endorsed candidates ran the table against the GOP establishment.  There was an attempted steal in Maricopa County against Kari Lake that was partially thwarted, I am told, because she won every other county in Arizona and the number of manufactured votes needed would indicate a 125% voter participation rate in Maricopa County.  The disgraced Mike Pence and Arizona Governor Doug Ducey both endorsed Kari Lake's primary opponent Karrin Taylor Robson — and it didn't matter.  Pinal County "ran out of ballots" on Election Day and mailed 63,000 mail-in ballots to the wrong voters — and it didn't matter.  Maricopa County erected a covered fence around their counting center to prepare for the steal — and it didn't matter.  The 2020 election playbook was just too obvious this time.  Too many people noticed.  Too many angry voters showed up in front of Maricopa County's election offices to protest.  There was no way to explain why Maricopa needed two more days than every other county in Arizona to count its primary votes.  The old playbook didn't work.

Joe Biden Likely to Extend National COVID Emergency Declaration — To Facilitate Mail-in Ballots and Harvesting?  Politico is reporting on the likelihood that Joe Biden is preparing to extend the national COVID-19 state of emergency through the 2022 midterm elections.  The debate, as outlined in just about every media narrative surrounding renewals of a national COVID emergency, is obtusely presented as if the primary political concern is public health.  Again, everyone must pretend not to know the true motive of the "emergency" is extending unilateral executive power and all of the control mechanisms therein.  One mechanism would include the use of 'Mail-in election ballots', which has absolutely nothing to do with public health.  The article appears to be somewhat testing the proverbial public winds.

Arizona Enters Day Three Still Counting Ballots.  According to election officials in Maricopa County, Arizona, they will provide further updates on their ballot counting efforts on Thursday after 7pm.  The election was Tuesday.  Apparently, in Arizona it takes several days to count election ballots or something, and we are not supposed to think this is odd. [...] According to Maricopa County election officials they have counted 715,941 ballots[.]  According to the Arizona Secretary of State office, they are reporting 698,981 votes for governor were cast in Maricopa County [402,023(R), 296,958(D)]  There are 16,968 more ballots reported from Maricopa County than votes cast for governor as reported by the Secretary of State.  Did 16,968 voters in Maricopa County cast ballots without voting for governor?

Georgia Secretary of State's Office Admits To 2020 Election Recount "Errors".  The attorney for Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has been forced to admit in writing that Fulton County did not conduct a proper and legal recount of their 2020 election results.  In an email dated July 29th, 2022, the attorney for Georgia's Secretary of State (named C. Ryan Germany) admits to a number of bad practices among the public officials that handle elections in Georgia to concerned citizen Joe Rossi.  The most important point is that the Georgia Secretary of State's Office cannot support the results of Fulton County's hand recount of their 2020 election results:  "As part of the allegations that you made, our investigators looked at the alleged violations and found that Fulton did make mistakes in their audit counting/reporting.  Those are what have been referred to the AG's office."  The second point is that the Georgia Secretary of State did not check or supervise or verify the results of hand recounts from Georgia counties.  In other words, the Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is not doing his job.

Colorado Sec State Candidate Tina Peters Sues Every Clerk in Colorado over Recount Procedures.  The El Paso County, Co. hand recount is now done.  At least for now.  Lawsuits filed are challenging the legality of the recount.  Earlier this week, The Gateway Pundit reported that the team of local candidates in El Paso County, CO filed a lawsuit against the Secretary of State and the El Paso Co Clerk.  The lawsuit would compel the CO Secretary of State to conduct the recount while assigning the Clerk and Recorder as an official observer to the recount.  It is alleged in the lawsuit that the current method of testing and conducting the recount is inconsistent with Colorado Revised Statutes.

What We Must Do to Restore Confidence in Our Elections.  According to Patrick Basham, there are such things as "non-polling metrics" — things like comparative party registrations, turnouts in the primary elections, social media followings, attendance at campaign rallies and other measures that had, prior to the 2020 presidential election, predicted the outcome of presidential elections with 100% accuracy.  In 2020, all these measures pointed to a Trump victory.  In attendance at campaign rallies, for example, Trump's average attendance exceeded Biden's by a average ratio of 343 to 1.  And yet Biden won. [...] And there were hundreds of affidavits charging malfeasance, and there were whistleblowers in Pennsylvania and Georgia.  There were audits in Arizona and Montana showing potential fraud.  And, most recently, there was True the Vote/Dinesh D'Souza's documentary 2000 Mules, which, through cell-phone geo-tracking and surveillance videotapes, showed persons, often in the dead of night, apparently stuffing ballot drop boxes.  None of these, at least so far, have been sufficient evidence for bring a charge of vote fraud against specific individuals.  But, the assurances of Democrats, major media and others notwithstanding, they certainly cast legitimate doubt on the integrity of the 2020 election.

Kari Lake Wins Nail-Biter in Arizona Despite Apparent Mail-In Ballot Fraud.  Despite a double-digit polling lead a day before the election, Republican gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake was nearly stunned by Karrin Taylor Robson in the Arizona primary.  Lake spent the entire night clawing back from being way behind.  The reason:  Early voting and mail-in ballots were the first counted and Robson outperformed anyone's wildest dreams in those arenas.  In the end, in-person voting won out, delivering the victory for Lake.

The Big Lies We Cannot Question.  The biggest lie allegedly spread by Republicans, now called "The Big Lie," is to claim the 2020 election was illegitimate.  But even if the 2020 election was not compromised due to a relentlessly hostile and partisan media, endless political persecution designed to damage Donald Trump's reelection campaign, voting rules that were violated and manipulated in swing states, Zuckerbucks, and possibly much more, this assertion still isn't a Republican "lie." For better or for worse, there are diverse opinions within the ranks of Republicans.  Some think it was a stolen election; others don't.  But no such dissent exists among Democrats over some of the biggest lies ever told.

A New Bill Takes On 'Zuckerbucks' and 'Bidenbucks'.  There were many things wrong with the 2020 election, but one of the biggest was the massive amounts of 'Zuckerbucks' used to influence the structure of elections at the local level.  Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan injected $350 million into over 2,500 election departments through the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative along with another $69.5 million to secretaries of state, disproportionately benefiting Democrat electorates.  As David Horowitz and John Perazzo wrote in their expose of the ugly influence operation, the grant money had to be used to "suspend existing election laws in order to promote universal mail-in voting", "eliminate or weaken signature-matching requirements and ballot-receipt deadlines for mail-in votes", "enable the proliferation of unmonitored ballot drop boxes" and "create unprecedented opportunities for illegal ballot harvesting" among other measures.

A Declaration Of Dissolution:  Wisconsin Supreme Court Fires The Starting Gun.  A court of law has finally confirmed it:  The 2020 election was "illegitimate."  And all the demands for sufficient evidence of voter fraud to reverse the outcome were a red herring.  The truly dispositive factor, as stated by a Republican Wisconsin state legislator in a March hearing and affirmed in the opinion:  "If a vote is cast in an illegal process, it's an illegal vote!"  The reasons for legislatively enacted absentee ballot protections are clear.  Justice Bradley quotes the Wisconsin Legislature's rationale:  "(P)revent the potential for fraud or abuse ... overzealous solicitation of absent electors who may prefer not to participate in an election ... undue influence on an absent elector ... or other similar abuses."

Wisconsin clerks refer 10 new voter fraud cases from 2020 election.  Ten criminal voter fraud referrals related to the 2020 election have been made over the past year by local clerks, according to a Wisconsin Elections Commission report.  This brings the total number of voter fraud referrals for the 2020 election up to 22.  In the most recent report, however, several referrals were for "multiple elections," meaning that the total number may be higher.  Some cases referred to district attorneys involved a person voting in person and absentee by mail in the 2020 election.  Others involved voting in two different states or voter impersonation.  Voting twice is against Wisconsin law, regardless of intent, the Epoch Times reported.

Out-Of-State Democrats Pay Millions To Influence Kansas Election Because Abortion Is On The Ballot.  Kansans head to the polls Tuesday [8/2/2022] to vote on the proposed "Value Them Both" constitutional amendment that seeks to overturn the Kansas Supreme Court's decision in Hodes & Nauser v. Schmidt that declared that the state constitution guarantees a "fundamental right to abortion."  Many Kansans may not realize, however, that the votes they cast on Tuesday may have been heavily influenced by out-of-state abortion apologists who contributed a whopping 71 percent of the $6.54 million spent by the lead group campaigning against the amendment.

Bombshell Presentation Reveals Identities Of Maricopa County Elections Employees Who Deleted Files From Election Server Before Maricopa County Audit.  We The People AZ Alliance hosted an election security forum in Maricopa County on Saturday [7/30/2022], featuring testimony from expert witnesses and state legislators. [...] Election investigator Matt Vanbiber also shared his discoveries from the Maricopa County Elections Department's public footage.  He finally revealed the identities of individuals who illegally deleted elections files from the Elections Management Server in April 2021.  This data was deleted before the voting machines were delivered to Senate auditors in compliance with a subpoena.  Federal law requires these files to be kept for 22 months.  Maricopa County officials previously admitted that these files were "deleted" in a Congressional hearing but later walked it back and said that the files were "archived."  This was one of the many law violations discovered by the Arizona audit and other Maricopa County's 2020 Election investigations.

Racine, Wisconsin Rolls Out Its Mobile Home Voting Station on Wheels — Paid for Exclusively with Zuckerbucks.  The courts recently banned ballot drop boxes in the state but apparently, mobile home traveling voting machines are just fine. [...] It's the first of its kind in Wisconsin.  Soon Democrats will steal and manufacture all of their ghost votes by mobile precincts.  You don't have to be a genius to see that happening.  City volunteers and staff work in the buses.  But no GOP observers.

U.S. Postal Service Opens Permanent Political Division, Dedicated to the Delivery and Return of Mail-in Election Ballots.  With mail-in ballots becoming a feature of all future elections, the United States government, specifically the United States Postal Service (USPS) is now creating a permanent division inside USPS to control the delivery and return of the election ballots.  Do you know the political affiliation of your mail courier?  As often said, it's not the vote that matters, it's the counting.  [O]r in this instance, the collection of the votes that really matters.  Democrat lawyer Mark Elias, in charge of protecting all fraudulent voting initiatives on behalf of the Democrat National Committee, is happy with the news.  Keep in mind the union representing 300,000 U.S. postal workers previously endorsed Democrat Joe Biden for president.  The National Association of Letter Carriers, is a fully compromised left-wing division of the USPS.  The USPS has just created a division of NALC employees exclusively to handle mail-in voting, just in time for the mid-term election.

Judge issues an election integrity win in New Mexico.  A federal judge has allowed an election transparency initiative to publish voter registration records publicly online to move forward despite objections from New Mexico election regulators.  Granting the preliminary injunction Friday, District Judge James O. Browning blocked defendants New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas and New Mexico Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver from prosecuting the plaintiff, Voter Reference Foundation (VRF), for publishing information it has already obtained as the case moves forward.

Los Angeles bans observers from watching George Gascon recall count.  Monitors will not be allowed to view the vote-counting process to recall District Attorney George Gascon because the county of Los Angeles does not view the event as an election, county officials say.  However, opponents insist that the law clearly states that the recall is an election and the process should be public.  Support from Gov. Gavin Newsom and Democratic politicians helped usher far-left Gascon into office two years ago, and the recall campaign wants to make sure the voter petitions are accurately counted to place the measure on a ballot.  "We are concerned about it, and we have attorneys looking at it," retired LAPD Sgt. Dennis Zine, one of the campaign organizers, said of the petition counting.

Maricopa County Official Is Panicked Voters May Bring Their Own Pen to Polls.  Let me preface this article by telling all of my readers:  You can use any blue or black ballpoint pen you bring to the voting booth or poll.  Do not let anyone there force you or pressure you into using their pen against your wishes.  On Tuesday, The Gateway Pundit reported that SharpieGate 2.0 was perhaps in the making when Maricopa Co Recorder Stephen Richer about faced on his July 7th tweet saying "use any black or blue pen".  He tweeted on July 26th that "we will give ALL voters a special pen at voting locations.  PLEASE PLEASE use this pen."  He then states that other pens don't dry quick enough and can "gunk" the tabulators, requiring cleaning.

High-Ranking Member Of Wisconsin Assembly Calls For Decertification Of 2020 Election Results.  There has been an internal civil war brewing in Wisconsin's Republican Party between Republicans who believe that we should move past the 2020 election without passing election integrity measures or seeing if the results were valid.  Wisconsin's Assembly Speaker, Robin Vos, has turned on President Trump and came out last week saying that he turned his back on President Trump when he asked him to look in to the results of the 2020 election.  One of Wisconsin's most influential State Representatives joined the growing chorus of people who want to decertify the 2020 election results this week.  Wisconsin state Rep. Janel Brandtjen, R-Menomonee Falls, announced Friday that she would support a decertification of the 2020 presidential election.

The Demise of American Citizenship.  After the blatant and unconstitutional voting law changes that allowed the Democrat party and the ruling elites to fraudulently win the 2020 presidential election, one of the basic birthrights of American citizenship, voting in fair and free elections, has been permanently imperiled.  Millions of mail-in ballots with no security controls were indiscriminately distributed and unaccounted for throughout the length and breadth of the country, at least 4-8 million ballots were illegally "harvested" by paid campaign workers, and per the documentary film "2000 Mules" hundreds of thousands of ballots were feloniously "stuffed" into innumerable drop-off boxes.  The denials of election fraud and subsequent cover-ups by the media and the ruling class ring hollow and insincere as they, in essence, have told the American citizens that they have little or no say in who is chosen to run or how their leaders are elected.

Local News Channel Posts The Results Of The Primary Election Who Should Be Held Next Week.  The primary elections in Michigan are set to occur next week.  But the local News Channel 3 apparently just released the results last night.  RINO Tudor Dixon Trump hater Peter Meijer won according to the leaked results!  In any event, this is a major story and it shows just how corrupt our system has become.

Brandon Admin Seeking To Give ID Cards, Government Benefits To Illegal Immigrants.  The Biden administration intends to provide illegal immigrants in the United States a temporary identification card so they can access government benefits while they wait for final decisions on their cases.  The program, titled the "ICE Secure Docket Card program," would be funded with $10 million from the Biden administration's fiscal year 2023 appropriations bill, which states, "$10,000,000 for the ICE Secure Docket Card program to allow noncitizens access to immigration files and documents."  "The ICE Secure Docket Card program is part of a pilot program to modernize various forms of documentation provided to provisionally released noncitizens through a consistent, verifiable, secure card," an ICE spokesperson told Axios.  "The cards would feature a photo and biographic identifiers.  It would also include 'cutting-edge security features."

Biden Considers Giving ID Cards to Illegal Aliens Released into U.S.  President Joe Biden is considering issuing government identification (ID) cards to border crossers and illegal aliens who are set for release into American communities as part of the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) expansive "catch and release" operation.  Late last week, Axios reported that Biden is considering issuing the IDs to illegal aliens once they arrived at the United States-Mexico border.  The goal is to make securing public benefits easier once they are released into the U.S. interior.

Willing Accomplices in The Greatest Crime of Our Lifetimes.  [Scroll down]  It was all just too convenient — the Democrat Party and their operatives in the media had all the bad news they needed to run with, incessantly, every single day.  The Chinese now had America in a weakened position with, they hoped, enough leverage among the Hollywood elite, professional athletes, and all of the media to carry the "bad orange man" message and negatively impact the upcoming election.  The messaging would not be enough, though.  Largely unknown Democrat party activists made sure to subvert election law in key cities and states and found either elected or appointed officials who would assist in enacting every election fraud conceivable.  All because of the pandemic, of course.  The same Democrat party propaganda ministry that presented the day-to-day, soul-crushing COVID-19 coverage, dutifully took part in covering up any negative press about the Biden Crime Family.  On election night, in those locations that were expected to have the tightest presidential election results, the counting stopped.  Overnight, votes for Joe Biden materialized and, by the weekend, the media gleefully anointed Joe Biden as President-Elect.  They then assured his installation with a non-stop barrage of reporting that the elections were "the most secure in our nation's history," so that there was "no evidence" of vote fraud, illegality, or malfeasance.

Democrats Discover Another 'Threat to Democracy'.  Before departing for its summer recess, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to take up Moore v. Harper, a redistricting dispute between North Carolina's legislature and Supreme Court.  The latter struck down two congressional maps enacted by the former and then imposed its own redistricting scheme.  The North Carolina General Assembly petitioned SCOTUS to rule that this violated the U.S. Constitution.  Predictably, the mere fact that the justices agreed to hear the case at all has produced panic among Democrats and a deluge of dire predictions about the death of democracy.  Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe warns, "Adopting the independent state legislature theory would amount to right-wing justices making up law to create an outcome of one-party rule."  Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) predicts, "If accepted, this extreme theory would lay the groundwork to allow rogue state legislatures to overturn the will of the people in future elections."  The Democratic Association of Secretaries of State issued the following hysterical statement:  "The Supreme Court's decision to hear the 'independent state legislature' theory behind the Moore v. Harper case brings us one step closer to a judicial coup."

VoterGA Uncovers Massive Election Fraud in Georgia.  The election integrity group VoterGA has produced a new video on Georgia's 2020 election, and the video shows obvious and massive voter fraud.  This is one of the best videos that I've ever seen on how our elections are corrupted by using electronic voting machines.  It covers the deceptive practices used in the election night vote, and the "risk-limiting" audit, and the machine recount.  It's the best use of 56 minutes of your life right now — especially before the 2022 midterms.  [Video clip]

Latest Election Fraud Cases Underscore Importance of Election Integrity.  With the latest cases of impersonation, registration fraud, absentee ballot fraud, bribery, and illegal vote trafficking added to The Heritage Foundation's Election Fraud Database, the database now contains 1,365 proven instances of election fraud.  These cases demonstrate the wide variety of ways in which bad actors set out to submit fraudulent ballots or steal elections.  The database is not an exhaustive or comprehensive list of all election fraud in the states.  Rather, it presents a sampling of recent, proven instances of election fraud from across the country that is intended to highlight the many ways in which fraud has been committed.

Biden Is Seriously Ill.  [Scroll down]  But the question from Democrats' perspective is not whether they can win, but whether America will accept being told that Democrats have won.  When America wakes up again, after going to sleep election night with Republicans in the lead across the nation, and they're presented with another "red mirage" — with the result of millions and millions of votes magically appearing at 4 o'clock in the morning in all the most crucial districts — will they accept it?  Will they be willing to suspend disbelief, as voters in New York City and Chicago and San Francisco already do, when they are told that despite the disastrous tenure of the Democrats in office, the voters have decided to extend that tenure?  The Democrats can't hope to win.  They can only hope that getting rid of Biden will make a win seem plausible.  They can only hope that, when they cheat, Americans will let them get away with it rather than coming after them with pitchforks.

Election Heroes Are Stopping Fraudulent Voting... Right Now.  The soul of phantom voter fraud is the occasional, non-committed voter.  They show up at the last minute, delivering winning margins.  Actually, nobody shows up.  Nor does anyone return an absentee ballot.  That magic comes from a wonderful customer service innovation, the Phantom Voter Concierge, who casts the non-committed voters' votes for them.  Let's go there.  Voter rolls are crammed with millions of voters who seldom, occasionally, or never vote.  Democrat-leaning organizations run voter registration drives in edge communities, collecting identities they expect will never vote.  You remember ACORN registering drug addicts on city streets?  You might have said, "Why, they will never vote!"  They aren't expected to vote.  They are simply voter identity placeholders later used by vote-harvesters.

How the Left Hopes to Seize Control of Local Election Offices.  Two big money liberal operations, ready to spend $80 million each, are trying to determine who controls elections and how in the years ahead.  "The overall objective of the political left is to change the way you conduct overall elections," Jason Snead, executive director of the Honest Elections Project, which advocates clean elections, told The Daily Signal.  One of the two liberal groups, Run for Something, is a political action committee founded by a former Hillary Clinton campaign staffer.  In the spring, Run for Something established its Clerk Work project with the goal of electing clerks, election supervisors, registrars, recorders, and other local officials charged with running elections.  The PAC says it will promote thousands of election administrators in the years ahead.  But for 2022, it reports endorsing 11 candidates competing in races in California, Colorado, Illinois, Missouri, Nevada, North Carolina, and Tennessee.

NeverTrump's Latest Attempt To Dismiss Election Concerns Is Particularly Dishonest.  A group of establishment Republicans released a report last week claiming to make "The Conservative Case that Trump Lost and Biden Won the 2020 Presidential Election."  It is not news that Joe Biden won the 2020 election.  The report's strawman-slaying title is intended to suggest that concerns about the integrity of that election are without merit.  But the report itself simply goes through court decisions and recounts, listing how they turned out.  It focuses on questions about "fraud," rather than the significant and extremely well-substantiated concerns Republican voters have about the election.  "Their methodology obscures the vast majority of actual material to consider if one were honestly engaging the problems," said Capital Research Center President Scott Walter.  His group has documented the significant role played by Mark Zuckerberg's private funding of government election offices, a massive issue that the report almost completely elided.

Data Supporting the Reported Results of the 2020 Election Does NOT Reconcile with Data in Voting Machine Files.  After the 2020 Election steal, we knew things were very wrong.  Now as experts dig into the 2020 Election results, the final results don't seem to reconcile with anything.  We learned in 2020 that American elections are a mess.  Now here we are a year and a half later and we are uncovering more evidence that the final results in 2020 never should have been certified.

The Push for Permanent Vote by Mail.  Leftists fell in love with all-mail elections in 2020.  Now they want to make vote by mail permanent.  Transforming our country's elections into a mail-in fiasco is a big step toward handing power over elections from the states to the federal government, empowering professional activists, inviting fraud, and damaging America's constitutional system.  It places the integrity of the republic in the hands of the U.S. Postal Service, the government agency that routinely delivers your neighbor's mail to your house.  And it promises to undermine public trust in electoral outcomes from now until doomsday, which could make the problems of the 2020 election routine.

Pennsylvania Bans 'Zuck Bucks' As Midterm Elections Approach.  Pennsylvania banned the use of private dollars to run elections last week after Governor Tom Wolf (D-PA) signed legislation from the Republican-led legislature.  SB 982 — sponsored by State Sen. Lisa Baker, a Republican who chairs the Pennsylvania Senate Judiciary Committee — prohibits officials from seeking funds from any nongovernmental entity for "the registration of voters or the preparation, administration or conducting of an election," and creates an "election integrity grant program" by which the commonwealth government can help counties administer elections. [...] Roughly 22 states have banned "Zuck Bucks," according to the Capital Research Center, while other states are presently debating bans.  The IRS does not allow 501(c)(3) nonprofits to engage in "voter education or registration activities" that "have the effect of favoring a candidate."

Another Video Depicting the Impossibility of the 2020 Election Results — This Time Fulton County, Georgia.  On Friday TGP presented two videos depicting the unexplainable results of the 2020 Election.  They were super hits.  Voter integrity investigator and data specialist Jeff O'Donnell prepared two videos that depicted the election reporting in two counties in Pennsylvania.  The videos showed the election reporting coming from the Edison reports that were provided to the media on election night and the days afterward.  The counties results that were depicted were Philidelphia County and Chester County.  Edison Research provided the live Edison reports for the 2020 election.  According to its website Edison Research provided the NEP with a fast and accurate vote count throughout the nation, providing data for all statewide races and all House races.  The national media outlets used the Edison data to report on and project national and state races.  When you see the data manipulation going on within the official data sets provided to the media there is no doubt that the 2020 Election results in the state were manipulated.

The Stolen Republic.  Why would the seated administration sue a state over a constitutionally verifiable action it takes — especially when 80% or more of its own supporters are in favor of that action?  Specifically why would *President Joe Biden choose to sue the state of Arizona over a state statute, handling the state's business?  You may say, "it's none of the Federal Government's business what that state decides internally within its borders."  And you would be right.  The Biden DOJ did that just a bit more than a week ago.  The state of Arizona, in conjunction with the will of its people, passed a law that requires proof of citizenship in order to be able to cast a ballot.  Many states already have such a rule.  So why Arizona?

Prosecutors Seek Prison for Democrat Caught Ballot Harvesting in 2020 Race.  Arizona prosecutors are seeking a prison sentence for a former Democrat mayor who has pleaded guilty to ballot harvesting in the 2020 primary election.  Former San Luis, Arizona, Mayor Guillermina Fuentes, a major local Democrat operative, pleaded guilty last month to felony ballot harvesting after having been indicted in December 2020. Another Democrat operative, Alma Juarez, was also indicted at the time and pleaded guilty in March of this year.

GOP Needs to Be Outside the Margin of Magic Mail-In Ballots in November.  As the all-important midterm elections of 2022 get closer, it's more pressing than ever for the GOP to prepare for whatever shenanigans-laden curveballs the Dems are sure to throw at them.  One would hope that the Republicans are finally aware that it's always a matter of "when" and not "if" the Democrats will try to underhandedly game an election, especially after the debacle of 2020.  During the Obama years, I used to say that any GOP candidate had to make sure that he or she was "outside the margin of ACORN."  I've updated that to "outside the margin of magic mail-in ballots."  I will never back away from my contention that vote-by-mail is a fraud-fest.  The fact that the Democrats keep trying to make it universal and not based on preference or need is all the proof any sane person should require to come to that conclusion.

The Sophisticated Deception of Massachusetts.  [Scroll down]  Massachusetts is so corrupt and one-sided that Democrats here don't even bother to hide their efforts at vote-rigging and partisan gamesmanship.  The first tip-off is that every statewide election is called on election night at 8:03 p.m. and the vote is always within a point or two of 62-38% for the Democrat.  Every protest to Secretary of State William Galvin goes unheeded and ignored.  Galvin — a lifelong political hack who has never held a productive job in the private sector — has been Secretary of State since 1995, the second-longest tenure of any politician in Massachusetts' history.  The quaint notion of "election integrity" doesn't appear on Galvin's horizon.

Judge orders arrest of Colorado county clerk Tina Peters.  A judge issued a warrant for the arrest of Mesa County Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters, who has been indicted on charges of tampering with voting machine equipment and is barred from administering the 2022 elections.  The arrest warrant comes in response to Peters's alleged violation of the terms of her bond by traveling to Las Vegas without giving proper notification to the court and attaining permission.  Her bond was also revoked by the judge.

Wisconsin Speaker Robin Vos:  An Election Do-Over Is Necessary if Overwhelming Fraud Proven in Court.  Jefferson Davis, with the Wisconsin Election Integrity Ad-Hoc Committee, wrote The Gateway Pundit today about an explosive development in the state of Wisconsin.  Recently, the Wisconsin Supreme Court on Friday, July 8, 2022, permanently outlawed ballot drop boxes in the state of Wisconsin.  The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that absentee drop boxes are illegal in the state.  The court ruled 4-3 that the drop boxes can only be placed INSIDE election offices.  Of course, this is horrible news for Democrats who rely on drop boxes to cheat in the elections with thousands of fraudulent votes.

Twelve Serious Questions for the Next Twelve Months.  [#1] Facing an electoral wipeout in November, will Democrats try to meddle in the elections?  Chances of using a crisis like the 2020 pandemic to alter, bypass, or influence local elections in the name of fairness are less likely now that some states have tightened voter ID requirements.  In addition, nineteen states have either prohibited or regulated private funding of elections.  That leaves four possible options, all of which are much more overt.  One is for Congress to pass an amnesty bill turning all of the millions of illegal aliens residing in the country into U.S. citizens, allowing them to vote.  President Biden could try using an executive order to do the same thing.  However, it is doubtful that the Supreme Court would see that as constitutional.  A second possibility is that Congress passes something similar to the For the People Act, which passed by the House of Representatives in 2021 but stalled in the Senate.  This would give the federal government control of the election process in all 50 states.  In addition, it would likely result in the expanded use of mail-in ballots, drop boxes, and ballot-harvesting, which were cited as problems during the 2020 election.

Investigation Reveals Operations of 'Powerful' Yuma County Democrat Who Admitted to Ballot Harvesting.  An undercover video at the polls helped investigators disrupt a local ballot harvesting operation run by a Democratic operative in Arizona, in a scheme that prosecutors have described as a "modern day political machine seeking to influence the outcome" of a 2020 municipal election.  Guillermina Fuentes, a former mayor of San Luis, and her associate Alma Juarez, earlier this year both pleaded guilty to one count of ballot abuse.  Fuentes admitted to illegally collecting early ballots from four persons who were not her family members during a Aug. 4, 2020, primary election in the border town of San Luis.  Fuentes, of Yuma County, is the owner of a local construction business, a board member of the Gadsden Elementary School District, former mayor of San Luis, Arizona, and a Democratic precinct committee person.

Democrats Prepare a Mid-Term October Surprise to Influence the Election.  Prior to the 2020 election, Democrats used the threat of COVID as an excuse to push through election law changes in a variety of states.  That included swing states like Pennsylvania.  Mail-in balloting became common, with unmonitored drop boxes being placed around cities.  Things like so-called "drive-thru voting" also became popularized as well as extensions that allowed ballots to be returned well after election day.  What that all added up to was a chaotic free-for-all of an election with very few guardrails, and that's exactly what Democrats want to see again in November.  You can even put aside the discussion over fraud.  The fact is that Democrats benefit from ballot harvesting and mass mail-in voting.  There's a reason they wanted to federalize those practices while eliminating election security provisions like voter ID.

Our Top Jurists Don't Care About Election Integrity.  The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Friday [7/8/2022] held that state election officials' use of some 500-plus drop boxes during the 2020 general election violated Wisconsin law. [...] In Teigen v. Wisconsin Elections Commission, the court declared that the Wisconsin Elections Commission, or "WEC," had illegally authorized election officials to use ballot drop boxes.  The high court further held the WEC exceeded its statutory authority when it declared that voters could hand off their ballots to third parties rather than personally deliver their own ballots to election officials.  The WEC had authorized ballot drop boxes and third-party ballot delivery in two documents issued in 2020, one in the spring before the primary election and the second before the November 2020 general election.

Illinois Top Democrat Spent Millions Meddling in GOP Gubernatorial Primary.  On June 28, Illinois held its gubernatorial primary election, which featured several Republican candidates, including Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin, State Senator Darren Bailey, and political outsider Jesse Sullivan.  Irvin, a popular local official who happens to be black, had been the favorite among the GOP candidates.  But a funny thing happened in the months leading up to the vote.  When the ballots were tallied, Irvin ended up in third place, well behind Bailey and the upstart Sullivan.  What happened?  The current governor of Illinois, J. B. Pritzker, a Democrat with hundreds of millions in his campaign's bank account and aspirations for higher political office, decided he would rather face Bailey in the general election.

Guillermina Fuentes Enters Guilty Plea in Yuma County Ballot Harvesting Case.  Attorney General Mark Brnovich announced that Guillermina Fuentes of San Luis pleaded guilty on Thursday to one count of Ballot Abuse, a Class 6 Felony, for her role in an August 2020 Primary Election "ballot harvesting" scheme where early ballots from other voters were collected and deposited into a ballot box on primary Election Day.  In December 2020, Fuentes and Alma Juarez, also of San Luis, were both indicted for 1 count each of Ballot Abuse, also known as "ballot harvesting."  In March 2022, Juarez entered a guilty plea to Ballot Abuse.  Arizona law only provides for a family member, household member, or caregiver of the voter to collect voted or unvoted early ballots from another person.  Under Arizona law ballot harvesting is a class 6 felony.

Biden Declared Illegitimate in Langland County.  Republicans in Langland County, WI, passed a resolution that declares Joe Biden an illegitimately elected president based on solid evidence that suggests rampant voter fraud in the 2020 Presidential election. [...] In an effort to bring awareness and justice to widespread election fraud, Langland County Republicans joined Maricopa County in AZ and the Texas GOP in rejecting the results of the 2020 Presidential Election, which claims Biden won by a landslide 81 million votes.  And we all know this is ridiculous for a man who campaigned from his basement.

Wisconsin Supreme Court rules absentee ballot boxes illegal under state law.  The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled Friday that the state's widespread use of ballot drop boxes is illegal, delivering a huge victory to election integrity activists and a stinging rebuke to state officials who had deployed the boxes to major success in the 2020 election.  In the court's 4-3 ruling, the justices rebuked the Wisconsin Elections Commission for distributing the boxes across the state, arguing that only the Wisconsin Legislature had the authority to approve their use.  "Only the legislature may permit absentee voting via ballot drop boxes," the court said in the ruling.  "WEC cannot.  Ballot drop boxes appear nowhere in the detailed statutory system for absentee voting.  WEC's authorization of ballot drop boxes was unlawful."

Democracy Depends on Voter ID.  As the federal government under President Biden continues its attempts to undermine the authority of the states to regulate their own elections — unconstitutional and unprecedented federal actions — states are reasserting their power by passing reforms that will protect the integrity of the electoral process.  Louisiana is a national leader on this and should continue its work of making it easy to vote and hard to cheat.  Election integrity is vital to a healthy democracy because Americans need to have confidence that their votes are protected.  A breakdown in any part of ballot protection can weaken this confidence, lead to questions regarding the legitimacy of election outcomes, and create a deeper distrust of government and the men and women who serve in it.  Protecting the vote includes ensuring that ballots are cast securely, privately, and legally.  It means making sure that every legally cast ballot is counted — and counted only once.  It also means providing for the transparent and timely reporting of election results as well as a meaningful post-election audit system to ferret out any irregularities.

"2000 Mules" Investigator Gregg Phillips Announces Investigative Team Has Identified Unique Devices from Inside the TCF Center During Late Night 2020 Election Ballot Dump.  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.  Michigander Shane Trejo witnessed the 3:30 am Biden Ballot Drop that gave Joe Biden an outstanding lift.  "There were thousands of ballots in each box," Trejo says.  "There were at least 50 boxes that I saw unloaded at 3:30 am, well after the 8:00 pm deadline for ballots to show up."

Conservatives in Nine States [are] Calling for Closed Primaries by 2024.  Conservative leaders in Georgia and Ohio are spearheading calls for Republicans to close their state primaries and allow only voters registered with their parties to participate in inter-party preliminary elections.  Atlanta Tea Party president Debbie Dooley and Ohio Republican gubernatorial candidate Jim Renacci both told The Epoch Times last week that Democrats are "weaponizing" cross-over voting to skew outcomes in key GOP primaries across the country to either ensure the election of moderates or to nominate candidates unlikely to be successful in a general election.  Dooley, Renacci, and other conservatives are calling on Republican lawmakers in their states to close primaries to only those registered with parties.  They join leaders of conservative groups and GOP legislators lobbying for more restrictive primary elections before the 2024 election cycle in at least seven other states — including Alabama, Montana, Missouri, Tennessee, New Hampshire, Wyoming, and Texas.

New Cracks in the Most Secure Election Narrative.  The conventional wisdom conveyed by the legacy media, the Democratic Party, and even a number of Republicans since November 2020 is that the 2020 election "was the most secure election in American history," according to Fox News.  This narrative was based on a joint statement made by the Election Infrastructure Government Coordinating Council (GCC) Executive Committee and the Election Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Council (SCC) on Nov. 12, 2020.  Posted on the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) website, the joint statement included the following excerpt:  "The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history. ... There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised." [...] Since the election, several cracks have occurred in the façade of that "most secure" narrative, including the result of the partial forensic analysis in Maricopa County (Arizona) reported out in August 2021, as well as an interim report provided in March 2022 by Michael Gableman, a former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice, that recommended Wisconsin decertify the 2020 election results in the state, as reported [elsew]here.  Both of these have been successfully stymied through legal maneuvers by those who would prefer to let sleeping dogs lie.

Justice Department sues Arizona over new election law requiring proof of citizenship.  The Justice Department sued the state of Arizona Tuesday to block a law that would require proof of citizenship to register to vote in the state.  The law, which Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey signed in March, is set to take effect in January.  According to the lawsuit, the Supreme Court rejected Arizona's previous attempt to require proof of citizenship in 2013, and the Justice Department argues this new law violates the National Voter Registration Act because it requires documented proof of citizenship in federal elections.  Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich released a statement Tuesday afternoon [7/5/2022] reacting to the DOJ's lawsuit, saying he'll yet again see the administration in court.

Here's What The Jan. 6 Show Trials Are Really After.  Scoring partisan points is not the only goal of the Jan. 6 Committee.  Rather, the carefully massaged hearings seek, at minimum, three broader political objectives.  One subtle, but overarching objective of the Jan. 6 Committee is to convince Americans that the 2020 election was the most secure in American history.  The hearings seek to achieve this by limiting their focus to select and disproven claims of election fraud, such as claims "that enemies of the former president hacked Dominion voting machines, flooded battleground states with counterfeit ballots, and engaged in other Machiavellian machinations to steal the 2020 election."  The committee completely ignores, however, "the verifiable evidence of systemic violations of election law, illegal voting, and the constitutionally deficient execution of the November 2020 election." Even more deceptively, throughout the hearings, the committee uses the word "fraud" to describe every complaint or challenge to the outcome of the 2020 general election, including Trump's legal challenges premised solely on violations of the state election code.  The committee's most blatant bait-and-switch in this regard came when the hearing framed a letter drafted by former Assistant Attorney General Jeff Clark as discussing bogus election fraud claims.

FBI, DOJ, CISA, EAC Collude with Leftist Activists & Election Officials.  PJ Media released a bombshell report by J. Christian Adams yesterday about the government colluding with far-left operations and election officials.  He obtained FOIAs that show collusion between the US government — the FBI, DOJ, EAC, and CISA — with progressive groups and individuals fueled by progressive money related to US elections.  The election groups included the Elections Group, CTCL, and Brennan Center.  Also involved were individuals from US corporations like Microsoft.  The collusion even included a person working for Maricopa County.  The FOIAs were submitted by the Public Interest Legal Foundation with which Adams is affiliated.  The corrupt relationships among them extend to junkets that include baseball games, travel, and even data exchanges between state officials and outside progressive groups.  However, what has emerged is far more dangerous than junkets and private funding of elections.

Several NYC Election Sites Had 'No Republican Ballots' During Last Week's Primary.  Last week's primary voting in New York City was a complete debacle — as the city's Board of Elections botched everything from polling locations opening late because of 'lost keys,' to missing equipment, to unannounced relocations of voting sites, to a lack of Republican ballots across at least three Big Apple election sites.  "We showed up to the poll site in Brooklyn, we showed up at 5 a.m. ... and there was no key," Spencer Mestel, a freelance writer, told the New York Post on Tuesday afternoon, adding that he saw poll workers turn away an elderly woman with a walker because they couldn't get in.

Supreme Court accepts historic case that could reshape powers of legislatures to set election rules.  The Supreme Court agreed Thursday to hear a major election case regarding North Carolina GOP lawmakers having the authority to draw a partisan election map without state judges' interfering.  The decision could impact future congressional and presidential elections.  The high court will take up the case when its next term begins in October.  The case of Moore vs.  Harper, asks the court to uphold the concept — known as the "independent state legislature" theory — that state legislators have the sole and "independent" authority to set rules for federal elections in their states, without interference or oversight by the governor or the state judges.

Over 150 Examples of Democrats Denying Election Results.  Biden and Democrats have a long history of contesting election outcomes.  Many Democrats, including Hillary Clinton and Barbra Lee (D-CA), Maxine Waters (D-CA), and Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), have cast doubt on every single Republican presidential victory in the last two decades.  Every single Democrat president since 1977 has cast doubt on the legitimacy of U.S. elections.  As recently as this year, Biden cast doubt on the legitimacy of the upcoming 2022 midterms.  For years, Democrats have refused to accept the results of the 2000 presidential election. [...] Hillary Clinton, more than once, questioned the legitimacy of the 2000 election.

Supreme Court to hear major case over state legislatures' power to set federal elections rules.  The Supreme Court on Thursday [6/30/2022] agreed to take up an elections case brought by North Carolina Republicans that could diminish the power of state courts to order changes to rules for federal elections and the redrawing of congressional districts approved by state lawmakers.  The dispute involves the "independent state legislature" theory, which was invoked by Chief Justice William Rehnquist's concurring opinion in Bush v. Gore and raised by former President Donald Trump and Republicans during the 2020 presidential election.  Under the theory, the Constitution grants state legislatures the sole authority to regulate federal elections in their states, without oversight from state courts.

NY Supreme Court strikes down Non-Citizen Voting Law.  Last year, the New York City Council passed legislation that allows non-citizens who have lived in the city for at least 30 days and are legal permanent residents in the U.S. to vote in city elections for mayor, public advocate, the borough president, and city council.  The law also applies to green card holders, individuals with workers' permits, and DACA recipients.  The law was set to go into effect on January 2023.  Fortunately, a group affiliated with the Republican National Committee filed a lawsuit challenging the legislation.  More than 800,000 non-citizens would have become eligible for voting rights if this new law had taken effect.

New York Supreme Court Strikes Down Law Allowing Non-Citizens to Vote in Local Elections.  The New York Supreme Court on Monday struck down a recently passed law that allows non-citizens to vote in local elections.  The New York City council passed a bill in December allowing legal residents, including those with green cards to vote in local elections beginning in 2023.  The "Our City, Our Vote" bill became law in January.  The law, which would've allowed an estimated 800,000 adults to vote for offices including mayor, was brought to the Supreme Court after Republican lawmakers filed a suit in the Staten Island Supreme Court.  Staten Island Justice Ralph J. Porzio wrote that giving non-citizens the right to vote would require a referendum, according to the New York Times.

More Warnings that Biden Is Hiding His Plans to Steal the 2022 Midterm Election.  Biden's policies are anti-American.  He's killing the economy.  He and his gang hate America and yet there is no pause or change of strategy with the 2022 election coming up.  It's full steam destruction ahead.  TGP reported on the Biden gang and how they look like they are preparing for another election steal, this time in the 2022 midterms.  An AP article tweeted by ABC News stating that the Dems were going to pick up seats in the House and Senate was later deleted by the left-wing news source.  This was a warning to Americans that the Biden gang was going to steal another election.  Mollie Hemmingway at the Federalist released a report late last week where she points out that the Biden Administration is working as hard as it can to load up voter rolls with new names just in time for the mid-terms.

Leaked Call with Prison Inmate Reveals Democrat Senate Candidate Calling For "Secret Sleepers" to Infiltrate South Carolina Republican Party.  Project Veritas on Sunday [6/26/2022] released leaked audio of a Democrat US Senate candidate's phone call with an inmate at Perry Correctional Institution calling for "secret sleepers" to infiltrate the South Carolina Republican party.  "We need some secret sleepers.  Like you need them to run as the other side, even though they for our side.  And we need them to win," Krystle Matthews, a Democrat South Carolina State Rep. running for US Senate said in the leaked audio.  "We need people to run as Republicans in these local elections.  This is the only way you're gonna change the dynamics in South Carolina."

South Carolina Senate Candidate Caught on Tape Advocating to Deploy Georgia Election Strategy.  Project Veritas Action, a subsidiary of Project Veritas, has released a leaked audio from South Carolina Democrat Krystle Matthews, promoting a political strategy where blacks infiltrate the republican party and use drug money to fund organized political changes. [...] What South Carolina Senate candidate Matthews is outlining in the leaked audio sounds remarkably similar to the prior successful operation of Georgia democrats and republicans.  The networks of the AME church and the political activists within the Black Lives Matter movement, coalesce by infiltrating the republican party and then working to support the agenda of the Democrat political apparatus.

A South Carolina Democrat strategizes about sleepers in Republican campaigns.  Project Veritas has done it again, this time with a video of a South Carolina Democrat candidate for the United States Senate strategizing with a prisoner to put Democrat sleepers into the Republican line-up as fifth columnist candidates.  Mixed in with whining, incoherence, and obscenities (often racial ones), Matthews articulates a foul plan for destroying democracy in a fight she feels is impossible to win by fair means. [...] It turns out, though, that Matthews isn't above "toxic politics" when it comes to plotting a Democrat takeover of South Carolina's strong Republican leanings.  We know that because Project Veritas Action obtained a recording of a February 15, 2022, phone call that Matthews had with David Solomon Ballard, an inmate at Perry Correctional Institution.  [Audio clip]

Democrat Senate candidate recommends leftist 'sleepers' contesting as Republicans for the mid-terms?  An audio clip released from Project Veritas Action yesterday [6/26/2022] revealed that South Carolina Democrat State Representative and candidate for U.S. Senate, Krystle Matthews, has some unconventional tactics to win the midterms.  [Audio clip]  The audio purportedly originated from a recorded conversation on Feb. 15, 2022, that occurred between Matthews and an inmate at Perry Correctional Institution.  It is troubling that Matthews is seeking campaign advice from a convicted criminal.  But that is the least problematic aspect of this revelation.  We hence focus on the content of the conversation. [...] These utterances prove the Democrats' proclivity for crime when they stand to gain.  It also reveals Matthew's bigotry of low expectations, she expects her fellow African Americans to be nothing more than dope dealers and criminals.  Matthews then proceeds to display her bigotry towards both her fellow African Americans and other races.  This smug feeling of superiority over regular people is synchronous with Democrat thinking.

AG Paxton:  More than 500 election fraud cases pending in Texas courts.  Attorney General Ken Paxton announced there are more than 500 election fraud cases pending in Texas courts.  "We will prosecute voter fraud every time we find it," Paxton said over the weekend.  "Currently, our office has over 500 cases waiting to be heard in court."  "Voter fraud is real," he said, and "Texans deserve to know their vote is legally and securely counted."  His announcement was made after the latest individual was arrested on a voter fraud charge on June 23.  Monica Mendez was arrested and booked into the Victoria County Jail after a Victoria County grand jury returned an indictment against her on multiple counts of election fraud.

Arizona Republican Party chair Kelli Ward subpoenaed by DOJ in fake elector scheme.  Kelli Ward, the head of the Arizona Republican Party, and her husband, Michael, received grand jury subpoenas from the Department of Justice regarding their involvement in a scheme to send fake electors to Congress on Jan. 6, 2021.  The subpoena for the Wards first was reported by the website Politico, which cited an unnamed source it said was familiar with the matter.  Alexander Kolodin, an attorney for the Wards, said to The Republic that "this is an investigation based on allegations that our clients engaged in core First Amendment-protected activity, namely petitioning Congress for a redress of grievances."

Sneaky Joe's new plan to steal the midterms.  Joe Biden has a new plan to rig and steal the midterms.  He's not only doing it now, he's been working on it for a while.  [Mollie] Hemingway notes that it probably isn't legal, given that the executive branch has no right to get involved with elections.  As a result, Biden and his Democrats are really determined to keep news of its basic details from the public: [...] The short way of describing the plot is that Biden has asked any federal agency that delivers government services of any kind to voters to be converted into a voting operation.  Any government jobs center is now converted to a voting registration or voter "outreach" center.  Ditto for any health care agency, any college, any housing agency.  Worse still, the Biden plan involves "partnering" with NGOs, which are partisan in the extreme and not subject to government rules against partisanship or political compaigning to get the dirty work done.

Technocracy 101: If Fed and CDC Are 'Independent,' Elections Mean Nothing.  Basic civics recap: the US president, per the Constitution, is the elected executive.  That means he is tasked with executing government functions.  He is granted — again, through a theoretically democratic election process — the authority to dictate government activities within the confines of the laws.  The legislative branch passes laws; the judicial branch vets them for constitutionality; the executive implements them.  The process, as designed, is not at all vague.  How odd, then, that the Biden White House press secretaries — first Jen Psaki and now the admitted diversity hire Karine Jean-Pierre — repeatedly undermine their own president's executive authority.  Whenever they're asked about Federal Reserve or CDC (Centers for Disease Control) policies — government agencies under the umbrella of executive authority — they refuse to give a straight answer on the grounds that the government body in question is "independent."  The WH has the same hands-off approach to the dictates of the CDC and the shadowy, unelected "experts" who set its policies.

Yes, Biden Is Hiding His Plan To Rig The 2022 Midterm Elections.  President Biden really does not want the public to know about his federal takeover of election administration.  Dozens of members of Congress have repeatedly asked for details, to no avail.  Good government groups, members of the media, and private citizens have filed requests under the Freedom of Information Act.  Not a single one has been responded to.  All signs indicate a concerted effort to keep the public in the dark until at least after the November midterm elections.  The lack of transparency and responsiveness is so bad that the Department of Justice and some of its agencies have been repeatedly sued for the information.  When President Biden ordered all 600 federal agencies to "expand citizens' opportunities to register to vote and to obtain information about, and participate in, the electoral process" on March 7, 2021, Republican politicians, Constitutional scholars, and election integrity specialists began to worry exactly what was up his sleeve.

Were the elections rigged?  It might not matter.  Elections will not legitimize any government if they are rigged.  We must end the absurdity whereby a private corporation can be hired to count our votes and then refuse to prove to us exactly how it got the final numbers.  If the system is not completely transparent and auditable, you can never be confident in it.  You can be completely justified in suspecting that it is fraudulent.  When the public no longer trusts those who count the votes, then the outcome will be chaos.  The 2020 election was rigged, but it is not up to us to prove that.  Instead of resisting audits every step of the way, the burden of proving otherwise falls on those who refuse to open the voting machines for inspection.  There can be no innocent motive to hide them.  Nor can there have been any justification for blocking observers from observing.  Given all the evidence, there is more than ample reason to suspect the vote-counters of cheating.  The stakes are too high for them to simply call upon their accusers to prove malfeasance, when the officials in charge of ensuring fair elections are the ones obstructing justice.  What matters even more, however, is the next election.  How much assurance do we have that it will be fair?  So far, not enough.

Election worker who Rudy Giuliani accused of passing a USB drive to her mother as part of ballot scam tells Jan. 6th committee it was actually a ginger mint.  Ex-Fulton County election worker Wandrea ArShaye 'Shaye' Moss told the Jan. 6 committee that she has received a barrage of harassment and threats after Rudy Giuliani accused her of passing along a USB connected to fake votes that turned out to be a ginger mint.  'It's turned my life upside down,' Moss said, adding that she hardly leaves the house, gained 60 lbs and oftentimes wouldn't even introduce herself using her real name.  Schiff asked the election worker: 'Mr. Giuliani accused you and your mother of passing some sort of USB drive to each other.  What was your mom actually handing you in that video?'  'A ginger mint,' Moss said.

Open Records Request for Emails Between Brad Raffensperger and Taiwan Immigrant Finally Received But Were 90% Redacted.  Self-proclaimed man of integrity Brad Raffensperger doesn't want Americans to know what he really knows.  A request for emails between Raffensperger and a Taiwan immigrant was finally returned but 90% of the documents were redacted.  What's really going on?  Brad Raffensperger became famous for his actions in certifying the 2020 Election in Georgia for Joe Biden.  Despite impossible results that Raffensperger himself said weren't possible the day after the 2020 Election, a few days later Raffensperger certified the election in the state for Joe Biden.  Raffensperger was provided evidence of tens of thousands of ballots counted in the state's 2020 results being invalid or fraudulent and he ignored the data and certified the election for Bidey by 12,000 votes. [...] Today Raffensperger spoke in front of the unconstitutional kangaroo court labeled the Jan 6 committee.  Raffensperger is not innocent of election crimes, he's part of it but that isn't why he was there.  He was there in an effort to accuse President Trump of wrongdoing for daring to suggest that the election results in Georgia should be fair and transparent.

Rep. Mark Finchem Seeks Preliminary Injunction Against Use of Electronic Voting Machines in Arizona.  State Representative Mark Finchem announced that attorneys, including Alan Dershowitz, representing him and Kari Lake, today filed a motion for a preliminary injunction in federal court to stop the use of "unsecure black box electronic voting machines" in Arizona.  Representative Finchem issued the following statement regarding the filing:  ["]We have filed a motion seeking to ban the use of black box electronic voting machines in Arizona's elections while the case is pending.  It's a reasonable question to ask the defendants whether they know how these electronic machines actually work.  They are a BLACK BOX — and the voting machine companies REFUSE to make their systems and software open to the public.  WHY WOULD ANYONE TRUST THEM?["]  The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that the documented and unfixable security failures in electronic voting machines — and the lack transparency in these voting systems — violates citizens' constitutional rights and 42 U.S. § 1983 including:  the Fundamental Right to Vote in Violation of the Fourteenth Amendment; and the Fourteenth Amendment's Guarantee of Equal Protection.

Best Practices and Standards for Election Audits.  Conducting audits of U.S. elections should be a routine practice, the same way audits are a routine practice in the business community and other fields of society.  Such audits are necessary to ensure the proper conduct of the entire election system, from the registration of eligible voters to the casting of ballots to the tabulation and reporting of the election results.  Such a requirement should be imposed and enforced by state law and state officials to guarantee not only the honesty and effectiveness of the election process, but to assure the public, candidates, political parties, and the media that they can be confident in the security and integrity of elections.

Adam Schiff Claims 'Evidence' of Trump Election Fraud Before Playing a Familiar Game.  Adam Schiff is back on cable news proclaiming [...] evidence against Donald Trump.  This time, it's not about now-debunked Russian collusion.  Rather, it's about January 6th and the idea that the former president was part of a conspiracy to illegally attempt to overturn the election.  While appearing with Martha Raddatz on CNN, a second home for Schiff since the early days of the Trump administration, the California congressman asserted that he "has evidence" that the former president actively participated in a January 6th scheme to produce fake electors.  [Tweet]  There are several things to consider here, not the least of which is whether anything Schiff is talking about is even illegal.  Obviously, there's a long history of politicians challenging elections in the United States.  After all, two current members of the January 6th committee challenged the certification of the 2004 and 2016 elections, respectively.  In this case, there was talk of producing an "alternate" slate of electors who would not cast their votes for Biden, despite the results in their states.  Ironically, the idea that a state's electors could ignore the election results and vote their "conscience" was pioneered by Democrats in 2016, with the suggestion that Trump could be denied the White House.  Now, the same people who didn't have a problem entertaining that scheme want to pretend it's some massive conspiracy for Trump associates to talk about it four years later.

Texas Republicans declare Biden's 2020 election win illegitimate at state convention.  Republicans in Texas formally rejected President Joe Biden's election in 2020 as illegitimate and voted in a state-wide convention that wrapped up this weekend on a party platform that calls homosexuality an 'abnormal lifestyle choice.'  The convention was held at the George R. Brown Convention Center from Thursday until Saturday, and the vote to reject Biden's election win was a verbal one.  That resolution said: 'We believe that the 2020 election violated Article 1 and 2 of the US Constitution, that various secretaries of state illegally circumvented their state legislatures in conducting their elections in multiple ways, including by allowing ballots to be received after November 3 2020.'

If You Don't Care About Election Integrity, You're A Bad American.  Less than two decades ago Americans so universally believed that election integrity mattered that when the bipartisan Commission on Election Reform issued its 100-plus page report, "Building Confidence in U.S. Elections," the twin goals of election integrity and voting access received equal treatment. [...] The bipartisan-endorsed fundamentals underlying the report included two unanimously accepted judgments related to election integrity.  First, "elections are the heart of democracy" and "if elections are defective, the entire democratic system is at risk."  Second, and a corollary to the first:  confidence in elections matters equally, and in fact "is central to our nation's democracy."  On this latter principle, the commission elaborated:  "Democracy is endangered when people believe that their votes do not matter or are not counted correctly."  "Little can undermine democracy more than a widespread belief among the people that elections are neither fair nor legitimate," the report stressed.  That same bipartisan report also recognized that while the losing side may be "unhappy with the results," there is something "new and dangerous" taking place in the United States:  "Supporters of the losing side are beginning to believe that the process is unfair.  And this is true of both parties."

D'Souza's Mules Left Tracks.  Many conservative commentators have noted that Dinesh D'Souza's documentary, 2000 Mules, offers compelling evidence of large-scale vote fraud.  It offers more than this, though.  It provides compelling evidence of a massive, centrally coordinated conspiracy to commit vote fraud.  Examining several states with different voter laws while focusing on just one form of fraud, the movie found that the method of fraud was executed identically in each of these states.  That is prima facie evidence of central organization and management.  From the moment counting was stopped in the dead of night in five Democrat-run swing states on election night, Democrats and the media have treated anyone who questioned election integrity in 2020 like a mob boss treats anyone who threatens to testify against him:  shut up, or we will cancel you.  Democrats and the media routinely smear anyone who questions the election results as a conspiracy theorist.  They routinely pronounce any evidence that emerges as "debunked."

Drop boxes were critical for the Biden Regime to steal the 2020 POTUS election.  The pandemic was the ultimate excuse for drop boxes and mail-in ballots that secured the steal for the super-unpopular Sleepy Joe Biden in November of 2020, especially in the swing states.  One only needs to view 2000 Mules once to realize the depth and breadth of the most warped election to ever take place on US soil, and just look at the damage that's already been done. [...] Who has the authority to drop absentee ballots in drop boxes?  Can anyone?  What happens to the 'chain of custody' when we're supposed to be safeguarding the integrity of the election process?  And shouldn't there be watermarks and serial numbers (maybe even social security numbers) on every ballot, to prevent counterfeiting, just like with money?  Are valid elections as important as valid currency in this country?  Where are the verification machines, independent verification security committees, serial numbers, watermarks and holograms on voting ballots?

Mail-In Ballots Found Discarded Along California Freeway.  The U.S. Postal Inspection Service and officials with San Diego County's elections office confirmed they are investigating mail-in ballots that were found scattered along a local San Diego freeway this week.  Several ballots were found by a local driver, Brent Walters, who told Fox5 San Diego that he found them on June 7 on the same day as California's primary elections near Route 163 and Interstate 8.  Walters told the outlet that he found the small stack, took photos, and shared his concerns with the office of San Diego County Registrar of Voters Cynthia Paes.  Paes confirmed that they collected the unopened mail-in ballots from Walters.  It's not clear how the mail ended up on the side of an interstate.

New Mexico Supreme Court orders county commission to certify primary results.  The New Mexico Supreme Court ordered county commissioners in Otero County to certify the election results of the June 7 primary after they refused to do so, having cited distrust of Dominion Voting Systems vote-tallying machines.  The court granted an emergency motion filed by New Mexico Secretary of State Maggie Toulouse Oliver (D) to compel the Republican-led commission to certify the election results by Friday.  "The voters and candidates of Otero County can now be assured that their voices will be heard in full.  Though it was sad to see the Commission give in to discredited conspiracy theories," Toulouse Oliver wrote after the decision.  Her office may levy a criminal referral with the state attorney general, which could lead to the three-member board being charged with contempt of court if they do not follow the court's orders, a spokesperson told the Washington Post.

There's nothing fishy about this.  And if you say there is, you're a racist.
Vote-by-Mail Puts Karen Bass Ahead of Rick Caruso in L.A. Mayor's Race; 8-Point Swing.  Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA) has overtaken billionaire developer Rick Caruso in the primary race for mayor of Los Angeles, thanks to vote-by-mail that has led to an eight-point swing in the results.  Caruso, a Republican-turned-independent-turned-Democrat, is running as a political outsider promising to fix homelessness and crime in the city.  Bass, a left-wing activist-turned-Washington insider, is the favorite of the party establishment.  On Election Night, Caruso had more votes, leading Bass by a proportion of 41% to 38%.  In the week since, that proportion has reversed itself.

It is time to admit that the American left is malevolent.  The Biden administration, the FBI, and the DOJ are willfully ignoring the Constitution and countless laws regarding the border, medical freedom, election integrity, the protection of the Supreme Court Justices, and our freedom of speech.  They abhor the views and values of conservatives and mean to squelch them.  They call any speech with which they disagree "disinformation."  Thus, their campaign against what they call "the big lie," that the 2020 election was stolen.  While Democrats and some Republicans have fervently resisted the investigations into vote fraud in their states, there is more than enough proof of wide-spread cheating in Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Nevada.  Thousands of fraudulent ballots were counted, (Bill Barr shut down an investigation into those delivered to Pennsylvania from NY), drop boxes were stuffed by ballot traffickers, dead voters voted, out of state voters voted, non-existent ghost voters voted, etc. not to mention Mark Elias' finagling of election law in numerous states and the hundreds of millions Zuckerberg invested in an illegitimate Biden victory.  Had the election been fair, it is clear that Trump won Arizona, Georgia and Pennsylvania.

Flashback: Former AG Barr Shut Down Investigations into a Trailer Load of 288,000 Ballots into PA from New York in 2020 Election.  Truck driver Jesse Morgan moved mail for the US Postal Service and came out after the election and shared his story of how he hauled tens of thousands of ballots from New York to Pennsylvania before the 2020 Election.  We reported on this in December 2020.  We learned in the summer of 2021 that former US Attorney General Bill Barr ordered the US Attorney in Eastern Pennsylvania to stop investigating 2020 Election issues in the state and turn any issues over to the Democrat Pennsylvania Attorney General.  This would have included the reports of approximately 288,000 ballots entering Pennsylvania on a semi-trailer from New York.

Surveillance Video Shows Man Wearing Street Clothes Exiting Passenger Seat of Post Office Truck In Detroit — Dumps Stack of Ballots In Dropbox Twice!  The Gateway Pundit and 100 Percent Fed Up with the help of the investigative team at Mc4EI, have released several videos showing individuals jamming multiple ballots into drop boxes as well as two close-up videos of individuals who appear to be signing the envelopes of other people's ballots.  Today, we present yet another stunning discovery at an absentee ballot drop box at the Liberty Temple satellite voting center in Detroit.  In the video below, a man dressed in street clothes exits the front passenger seat of a postal worker's truck and stuffs a stack of ballots into the absentee ballot drop box in Detroit.  In a second video taken on the same day, the same man exits the passenger side of the USPS truck and delivers an even larger stack of ballots into the slot of the drop box.  In this video, you can clearly see he is recording the drop on his cell phone in his left hand.  [Video clip]

Lawsuit Forces Pennsylvania To Ensure It Takes Dead Voters Off Its Voter Rolls.  The state of Pennsylvania has agreed to take steps to remove deceased voters from being able to vote following a settled lawsuit filed by The Public Interest Legal Foundation.  The suit, filed in November, alleged that at least 21,000 deceased individuals were still on voter rolls during the 2020 presidential election.  Data compiled by the Watchdog group alleged that more than 9,200 of the people registered had been dead for at least five years, in addition to nearly 1,990 that had been dead for 10 years.  An estimated 197 voters were dead for at least twenty years.  The Pennsylvania Department of State did not agree in the settlement with the number of dead voters.

Otero County New Mexico Votes to Remove Dominion Voting Systems, Zuckerberg Drop Boxes, and Other Election Machines!.  The Otero County Commission had a long day of discussions and reports today and then they landed upon the issues with the 2020 Election.  They voted to eliminate voting machines in the county! [...] These commissioners were fearless.  The more flack they got the more they knew they were over the target.  They wanted every legal vote to count.

Observing Our Way to Third-World Elections.  On Sunday, June 5, two friends and I witnessed the absurdity of the California election process at the Orange County Registrar of Voters (ROV) facility in Santa Ana.  As public observers, which anyone can do, we watched the ludicrous process that basically empowers temporary workers to become what can best be called "signature experts."  These workers have immense authority in determining which ballots are valid and which might be fraudulent.  Third-world countries would probably reject the way ballot signatures are verified in Orange County.  The (mostly temp) ROV workers sit at computers comparing primary ballot signatures to registration signatures.  About ten feet behind each worker, observers watch what they are doing on large monitors.  What my friends and I observed were ROV "signature experts" quickly reviewing eight signatures in approximately five seconds:  four primary ballot signatures and four registration signatures.  Could you continually review eight signatures every five seconds?  When observers see a discrepancy between a ballot signature and a registration signature, they can do nothing!  They cannot ask the ROV temp workers to re-examine the signature they had just verified.  They cannot write down the voter's name for an ROV staff member to later review.  The only thing observers can do is stand like statues i.e., quietly observing the process.

Wisconsin 2020 election special counsel office held in contempt as sparks fly in court.  A Wisconsin judge held the Office of Special Counsel, which is tasked with investigating possible malfeasance during the 2020 election, in contempt of court on Friday [6/10/2022].  Former state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman, who helms the special counsel office, declined to answer questions about his approach to public records requests and scorned Dane County Circuit Court Judge Frank Remington during a fiery court appearance Friday.  "You don't have a right to act as an advocate for one party over the other.  I want personal counsel.  If you are putting jail on the table, I want a personal attorney to represent me.  I will not answer any more questions," a defiant Gableman proclaimed, per the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.  "You want to put me in jail, Judge Remington. ... I'm not going to be railroaded."

Wrong-Size Ballots Delay Results in Montana US House Race.  Ballot printing errors have delayed election results for Montana's new congressional seat, forcing a small northwestern county to count votes by hand in the Republican primary race between former Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke and former state Sen. Al "Doc" Olszewski.  Zinke led Olszewski by 1,064 votes, or 1.3 percentage points, out of 79,198 votes counted, as of 11 a.m. local time Wednesday.  Missoula County has 2,500 outstanding ballots that aren't expected to be counted until Monday, while Lincoln County has an estimated 6,000 ballots to hand count.  A vendor printed the Lincoln County ballots on the wrong-sized paper, and they could not be run through a machine tabulator, the secretary of state's office said Wednesday.  By law, ballots have to either all be counted by machine or all counted by hand, spokesperson Richie Melby said.

The Editor says...
Unless the ballots are after-market counterfeits, how could this happen?  Wouldn't they have been tested weeks ago?

Dem Rep Pleads Guilty to Mass Voter Fraud:  Thousands of Dollars Paid to Crooked Judges.  Former Democratic House Rep. Michael "Ozzie" Myers of Pennsylvania pleaded guilty Monday, admitting that he spearheaded a scheme to manipulate state election results in favor of Democratic candidates.  The disgraced former Philadelphia congressman had become a political operative after his conviction in the FBI's Abscam sting of the 1970s and '80s.  This time around, he was accused of bribing judges to stuff ballot boxes and falsely certify manipulated results during the state's 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 elections.  Myers pleaded guilty to "conspiracy to deprive voters of civil rights, bribery, obstruction of justice, falsification of voting records, and conspiring to illegally vote in a federal election," U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania Jennifer Arbittier Williams announced Monday.

Former Pennsylvania Democrat Congressman Pleads Guilty to Fraudulently Stuffing Ballot Boxes For Democrat Candidates.  A former Democrat congressman pleaded guilty in a ballot stuffing case this week.  Michael J. "Ozzie" Myers, an "old school" Philly Democrat pleaded guilty Monday to violations of election law, conspiracy, bribery and obstruction.  The federal government said ballots were stuffed in the 2014, 2015, and 2016 primary elections and Myers was the the mastermind behind that ballot stuffing scheme.

Democrat Pleads Guilty to Ballot Stuffing in Pennsylvania.  That thing that we are assured never happens, happened.  Former Democrat US Rep. Michael "Ozzie" Myers has pled guilty to multiple charges related to a scheme to stuff ballot boxes for Democrat candidates between 2014 and 2018.  Myers has a checkered history, having been expelled from Congress for accepting bribes.  Apparently, he didn't learn his lesson and has been running a ring of corruption for decades. [...] According to the report, Myers bribed a judge of elections in Philidelphia to add votes to the candidates of his choice, again, all Democrats.  Those bribes totaled hundreds of thousands of dollars, so this was no small operation.  Further, Myers also conspired with another elections judge in a scheme to push people to vote for certain candidates.  Lastly, that judge also cast votes for candidates who weren't even on the ballot.

Politico warns 'a lot of white folks from the suburbs' becoming poll workers, to ensure election integrity.  A Politico reporter is ringing the alarm bell over what she believes could be a huge scandal brewin' in the 'burbs over election integrity through the weaponization of white people.  Reporter Heidi Przybyla appeared on MSNBC's "Velshi" to express her concern about "white folks from the suburbs" becoming precinct workers and "targeting" minority left-leaning districts.  Her scare comes in response to a report she did on audio recordings earlier this week that heard from top GOP officials describing the Republican strategy — of participating more in the election process.  The recordings include the voice of Matthew Seifried, election integrity director for the Republican National Committee in Michigan who described the plan by noting, "it's going to be an army."

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.  Federal Election Day statutes were designed to curtail fraud, and to infuse a prima facie sense of integrity in our electoral process.  But these States — in failing to obey Congressional deadlines — have flagrantly attempted to preempt federal law.  This is certainly prohibited, and this is why the late election results are void.

Suspicious technology group to spend $80 million 'improving' election operations across America.  A controversial organization once funded by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has launched an $80 million initiative ostensibly to "improve" operations of local elections, but which critics suspect has a far more nefarious purpose.  The National Pulse reports that the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) has announced the so-called U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence, a "nonpartisan collaborative that is bringing together election officials, designers, technologists, and other experts to help local election departments improve operations, develop a set of shared standards and values, and obtain access to best-in-class resources to run successful elections."

Hero Sheriff Sues Lawless MI AG Nessel, Dishonest MI SOS Benson For Interfering, Obstructing and Covering Up Crimes In Election Fraud Investigations.  Hero and American treasure, Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf and the Barry County Sheriff's Office is suing MI Attorney General Dana Nessel, MI Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, the Director of MI Bureau of Elections Jonathan Brater, the MI State Police, MI State Police Trooper Bryan Fuller and MI State Police Trooper David Geyer in their official and individual capacity. [...] Sheriff Dar Leaf's lawsuit addresses the lawless and obstructive actions of Attorney General Dana Nessel, who regularly mocks and threatens her political opponents, together with Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, who's blocked the efforts of citizens and law enforcement to investigate voter fraud and voter irregularities related to the 2020 election.  Benson has also been caught in numerous lies related to the election and like her fellow Democrat activist attorney general, she has mocked and threatened her political opponents while preventing Sheriff Dar to perform his duties and responsibilities as an elected official.

Federal Cyber Officials Admit:  Dominion Voting Machines Vulnerable to Hacking, Fraud.  "Electronic voting machines from a leading vendor used in at least 16 states have software vulnerabilities that leave them susceptible to hacking if unaddressed, the nation's leading cybersecurity agency says in an advisory sent to state election officials."  So reported Associated Press on May 31 regarding an "advisory" issued by the federal Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) to state officials.  The Associated Press obtained a copy of the document, which has not yet been released to the public.  The CISA advisory, reports AP, focused on Dominion Voting Systems and "details nine vulnerabilities and suggests protective measures to prevent or detect their exploitation."

Highly Anticipated CISA Report on Dominion Voting Machines Proves 'Most Secure Election in History' Was a Lie.  A highly anticipated report issued Friday by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency, also known as CISA, is providing official documentation of the major security flaws posed by Dominion Voting Systems Machines.  It comes nearly two years after the 2020 presidential election, which the agency had called the "most secure election in history."  While the CISA report states that it has "no evidence that these vulnerabilities have been exploited in any elections," it nonetheless highlights at least nine concrete, alarming security vulnerabilities.  The CISA report was issued based on the analysis of J. Alex Halderman of the University of Michigan, and Drew Springall of Auburn University.

Homeland Security Admits Dominion Voting Systems Have Inherent Vulnerabilities Easily Manipulated by Local Election Officials.  Last week we highlighted how the U.S. intelligence community public relations firm, The Washington Post, was getting out ahead of an election security report.  There was a blitz of media reporting with transparent timing in advance of the Dept of Homeland Security (DHS), Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), releasing their findings of Dominion voting systems.  Late Friday [5/3/2022] the DHS report and advisory was released.  Within the advisory CISA admitted there are major vulnerabilities within the Dominion electronic voting system.  However, they also claim there is "no evidence that these vulnerabilities have been exploited in any elections," and they base that on a very thin defense.

Yuma County Woman Guillermina Fuentes Finally Pleads Guilty In Ballot Trafficking Case.  Gadsden Elementary School Board Member and former Mayor of San Luis Guillermina Fuentes has pleaded guilty to her role in a sophisticated ballot trafficking ring during the 2020 Arizona primary.  Fuentes was originally indicted for two Class 4 felonies of Forgery and Conspiracy, a Class 5 felony of Ballot Abuse, and a Class 6 felony of Ballot Abuse.  She pleaded guilty to only one class 6 felony for ballot abuse, despite trafficking many ballots and forging signatures on ballots.  The charges for ballot signature forgery were dropped.

Michigan Supreme Court ruling keeps GOP gubernatorial candidates off ballot.  At least three Republican candidates vying to take the governor's seat in Michigan will not appear on the August primary ballot after a high court decision ended their campaigns after days of legal battles and appeals to qualify.  The Michigan Supreme Court on Friday [6/3/2022] sided with the state Bureau of Elections in its rulings that presumptive front-runner and former Detroit Police Chief James Craig, businessman Perry Johnson, and financial adviser Michael Markey did not qualify to appear on the primary ballot.  The three candidates were initially ruled ineligible in May after the state found they failed to submit enough valid petition signatures.  The decision puts an end to the candidates' last-ditch efforts to become the Republican nominee and face Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in November.  The ruling came just hours before the Bureau of Elections was set to send a finalized list of candidates to county clerks so absentee ballots could be mailed out.

Zuckerberg Group Spending $80M to Hijack Local Election Practices and Help Liberals.  The Center for Tech and Civic Life — a nonprofit group that controversially used funds from Mark Zuckerberg to boost turnout for Democrats in the 2020 election — launched a new $80 million initiative targeting local election departments.  Under the leadership of Tiana Epps-Johnson, the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) overruled local election officials and increase turnout in almost exclusively Democratic districts through mail-in voting in 2020.  Proving the partisan conflict of interest, the CTCL supported many election offices' shifts to vote-by-mail and allegedly accessed mail-in ballots ahead of the election using funds from the Facebook founder's Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.  Though the group purports to be nonpartisan, following several exposés into the group's left-wing bias, the CTCL appears to be launching a new $80 million initiative to extend its influence over America's election departments.

Yuma County Sheriff's Office Reveals 16 Open Voter Fraud Cases, Warns of 'Pattern' Leading Up To the 2022 Primaries.  According to a press release, the Yuma County Sheriff's Office in the great state of Arizona and the Yuma County Recorder's Office are working together to examine 16 active cases of voter fraud related to the 2020 presidential election.  Kari Lake, the popular Trump-endorsed Republican gubernatorial candidate for Arizona, commented on the news on Twitter.  "This is a step in the right direction," Lake stated.  "May this be the beginning of Justice for the Rigged 2020 election."

New election integrity fears:  Georgia county ballot machines off by thousands when hand counted.  The Democratic primary for a Georgia county has been called into question after a hand count revealed the voting machines were off by thousands of ballots.  Marshall Orson, a Democratic DeKalb County school board member running for the county commission, asked the local elections board on Thursday to not certify the results as scheduled on Friday due to "numerous issues" with the race.  Orson asked for an "independent review" and a formal recount of the election in his letter to the board, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.  "There is no rational basis for believing that there are not continuing issues with the results and the results should not be certified with the continuing existence of multiple substantive issues and concerns," Orson wrote.

Elections Security Watchdog Blows the Whistle on Serious Vulnerabilities in Dominion Voting Systems Machines.  It's 2022.  Two years after one of the most hotly contested elections in U.S. history.  And elections security "watchdog" the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency, also known as CISA, is finally admitting what many have known all along:  Dominion Voting Systems has serious election security vulnerabilities.  The Associated Press reported on Wednesday about CISA issuing an alert about the Dominion voting machines.  It is heavily weighted with verbiage meant to spurn anyone who might come to the conclusion that the 2020 election was "stolen."  It is worth citing the AP, nonetheless.  "Electronic voting machines from a leading vendor used in at least 16 states have software vulnerabilities that leave them susceptible to hacking if unaddressed, the nation's leading cybersecurity agency says in an advisory sent to state election officials," the report said.

Local Election Forced to Be Overturned Due to Voter Fraud:  Winner Charged with Fraud and Bribery.  A city councilman in California has been removed from office after a judge ruled some of the votes cast for him were illegal.  According to the Los Angeles Times, Compton Councilman Isaac Galvan was initially determined to have beaten challenger Andre Spicer in a June 2021 runoff election by a count of 855 to 854.  However, the Los Angeles County district attorney's office charged Galvan with election rigging and bribery in August 2021.  On Friday, Superior Court Judge Michelle Williams Court ruled four of the ballots cast for Galvan were from people who lived in other districts.  With those four ballots ruled out, Spicer defeated Galvan 854 to 851, Court ruled.

Here Is The Evidence.  Due to the irregularity of this current 2020 Presidential Election, this is a crowdsourcing tool for organizing anomalies and legal issues.  Our desire is that more of the election process would be made transparent so there would be unquestionable confidence in our voting systems.

Report: 19,000 Late Ballots in Arizona 2020 Election.  Newly uncovered records from Maricopa County show 19,000 invalid ballots were counted in Arizona's 2020 general election.  An election integrity group Says the amount is enough to have potentially swayed results in the state's presidential election.  [Video clip]

Open primaries open the door to suspiciously fraudulent victories.  Ah, the good old days, when Democrats voted in Democrat primaries and Republicans voted in Republican primaries.  Those registered to other parties voted for candidates who held conventions in IHOP restaurants.  Not content with one-person, one-vote elections (even including the dead), Democrats used the pandemic to promote mail-in voting to ballot-harvest their way to suspiciously fraudulent victories.  Now some Democrats want more dubious election results with open primaries.  Currently, 22 states have open primaries that allow crossover voting.  Some Democrats plan to take full advantage of the opportunity.

Alleged Voter Fraud Leads to Overturned Result in Local California Election.  The results of a Council seat race in Compton, California, were overturned in the midst of an election fraud scandal that resulted in charges against the winner.  Compton Councilman Isaac Galvan must be replaced by the challenger, Andre Spicer, after a judge said that four votes in the race — which was decided by only one vote — were sent in by people who didn't live in the district, according to a ruling on May 27.  During a runoff, Galvan defeated Spicer with 855 votes to 854.  But with four votes being disqualified, Superior Court Judge Michelle Williams Court ruled Spicer was the winner, reported the Los Angeles Times.  Galvan was arrested last year along with five other individuals.

Judge Alito Halts Recount of Ballots Received with No Required Date After the Recent Primary.  [Scroll down]  Unfortunately, it likely doesn't matter what Justice Alito says.  In the 2020 Election, Justice Alito told the state of Pennsylvania to set aside all ballots that were received after election day.  The corrupt actors in the state claimed that they did and only 10,000 or so ballots arrived after election day.  However, on election day President Trump was up in Pennsylvania by nearly a 2 to 1 ratio and 700,000 ballots at one point in time.  Then over the next four days, the state began counting absentee ballots, never once reporting how many ballots were to be counted and at the end of four days they had manufactured enough ballots to steal the election in Pennsylvania for Joe Biden.

Some Democrats [are] voting in GOP primaries to block Trump picks.  Diane Murray struggled with her decision all the way up to Election Day.  But when the time came, the 54-year-old Georgia Democrat cast a ballot in last week's Republican primary for Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.  While state law allowed her to participate in either party's primary, she said it felt like a violation of her core values to vote for the Republican.  But it had to be done, she decided, to prevent a Donald Trump -backed "election denier" from becoming the battleground state's election chief.

DHS and Intel Community Media Outlets Proactively Move to Defend Dominion Voting Systems Ahead of Report on Electronic Election Hardware Issues Coming This Week.  A 100-page report on electronic voting systems, by University of Michigan computer scientist J. Alex Halderman, remains under seal in a federal court in Atlanta as an outcome of election integrity lawsuits surrounding the Dominion voting system.  That report is rumored to be released soon, perhaps as early as this week.  In what appears to be a proactive move to get out ahead of identified voting system irregularities specific to the electronic voting systems, the Dept of Homeland Security, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (DHS-CISA), updated the election page on their website under the "Rumor Control" section.  DHS made the update on May 27, 2022, last week.  The very next day, May 28, 2022, The Washington Post produces an article describing an upcoming DHS-CISA 5-page memorandum that is in the process of being sent to the states ahead of a public release.

"2000 Mules" Investigator Gregg Phillips Drops a Bomb:  Investigators Discovered Multinational Player and Federal Agencies Involved in Operation.  Catherine Engelbrecht is the founder of True the Vote, an election integrity project launched in 2009.  Gregg Phillips has been in conservative politics for 40 years, working with committees, parties, campaigns, and election intelligence operations.  He has built political apps including GROUND, ARC, and IV3.  Gregg was also a founder and Managing Partner of the pro-Gingrich SuperPac, Winning Our Future, and election intelligence company, OPSEC Group.  Gregg is currently working with Catherine Engelbrecht from True the Vote in their historic investigation of Democrat ballot trafficking in the 2020 election.  Catherine and Gregg told The Gateway Pundit that they discovered that 7% of mail-in ballots were trafficked during the 2020 election.  The investigators told us their evidence will be released following the movie launch next month.

Wisconsin Voters Sue Democrat Cities Over Illegal Drop Boxes In 2020 Election.  Wisconsin voters took legal action against their state's five largest cities on Wednesday over the illegal use of unmanned drop boxes during the 2020 election.  Filed by the Thomas More Society on behalf of voters against Green Bay, Kenosha, Madison, Milwaukee, and Racine, the legal complaints allege that city officials ignored state law by implementing unmanned drop boxes over the course of the 2020 cycle.  "In 2020, the cities of Milwaukee, Madison, Racine, Kenosha, and Green Bay made an agreement with the nonprofit Center for Tech and Civic Life [CTCL] to use the drop boxes to get these cities' residents to vote," said Thomas More Society Special Counsel Erick Kaardal in a press release.  "This so-called 'Wisconsin Safe Voting Plan,' involved $8.8 million of private grants to these five cities, to target specific populations to vote.  It had little, if anything at all to do with keeping voters safe from Covid-19, as it purported to do."  During the 2020 election, CTCL received $400 million from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to finance "the infiltration of election offices at the city and county level by left-wing activists" and use them "as a platform to implement preferred administrative practices, voting methods, and data-sharing agreements, as well as to launch intensive outreach campaigns in areas heavy with Democratic voters," in the words of William Doyle in The Federalist.

It's Obama's fault.  [Scroll down]  Doubts remain as to the authenticity of the election that put Biden and Harris in charge of the federal government.  But rather than directly defend the mechanics of the balloting process or justify the slanted news coverage that suppressed anti-Biden information, Biden's defenders continue with a strenuous effort to impose official censorship of those who publicly challenge Biden's legitimacy.  What cannot be censored is that, in the same election that put Biden and Harris in office, the Republicans picked up fourteen seats in the House of Representatives.  Go figure.

Wireless Services CEO Destroys Ignorant Attacks by Fake Fact-Checkers on "2000 Mules".  With the release of 2,000 Mules, patriots around the country are seeing the truth about the obvious voter fraud that was caught on video at designated ballot boxes.  The Mules are those who were dropping fraudulent ballots into drop boxes.  We know about the ones that were recorded and who were sloppy enough to keep their phones with them as they committed systemic voter fraud.  There is much more voter fraud evidence from the 2020 election emerging.  Patriot Joe Brandis, who has been investigating Michigan voter fraud since the 2020 election with Michigan Citizens for Election Integrity and his team continues to discover more and more footage of ballot traffickers dumping multiple ballots into the Detroit drop boxes in the runup of the 2020 election.

102 Counties in Georgia Can't Produce Drop Box Videos!  No Surveillance for Over 181,000 Ballots!.  In a press release, VoterGA announced that their drop box survey team determined that a massive 102 counties in Georgia are unable to produce drop box surveillance videos for November of 2020's General Election.  72 of these counties have admitted to VoterGA that the surveillance footage meant to monitor for ballot trafficking has been destroyed.  Video monitoring is missing for 181,507 cast ballots.

Democrats are breaking America.  AP amused me with its tale, "After 3 months of war, life in Russia has profoundly changed." [...] With Biden's ignorant economic sanctions, he has brought down two economies.  I could not care less about Russia, but the United States is in deep trouble.  Destroying America is the goal.  I call it the Venezuelation of America.  The combination of runaway inflation and shortages is astonishing and unprecedented here, but common throughout the communist world.  Along with a rampant rise in violent crime, Democrats are scorching the Earth to punish Americans for daring to elect Donald John Trump as president.  Democrats desperately are speeding up their fundamental transformation of America into a Union of Soviet States of America.  The use of mail-in voting to accommodate illegal ballot harvesting installed Biden in the White House.  Democrats know they have very little time to make the changes they desire.

Pennsylvania court upholds counties' right to inspect electronic voting equipment.  The Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania on Tuesday upheld the right of Pennsylvania counties to inspect electronic voting equipment, an authority granted to them by the state Legislature.  The court sided with a brief filed by conservative election integrity watchdog The Amistad Project on behalf of Fulton County, Pa.  The county had conducted an inspection on two Dominion voting machines in an attempt to determine whether they had functioned correctly during the 2020 election.  The state's top election official, the secretary of the commonwealth, then retroactively banned the practice and decertified both of the machines without providing the county with state funding to replace them.

2000 Mules:  Fact Or Fiction?  The movie 2000 Mules, a documentary by filmmaker and author Dinesh D'Souza has become the "most successful political documentary in a decade," according to its distributor, Salem Media Group.  D'Souza is getting mixed reviews from conservatives as well as the mainstream left with his latest cinematic effort.  It is unlikely he anticipated a backlash of sorts from his own side of the political aisle, which begs the question:  Why is the movie generating such a wide range of reactions?

Hedge Fund CEO and GOP Candidate David McCormick Files Lawsuit in PA GOP Senate Primary Race — Demands Undated Ballots that Arrived Late Be Counted in Race.  Who is former hedge fund CEO David McCormick?  A recent fundraiser sponsor in New York for David McCormick was the founder of a consulting firm representing the controversial Dominion Voting Systems.  McCormick also made big bucks lobbying for Communist China.  McCormick moved back to Pennsylvania to run in the GOP Senate race after Sean Parnell dropped from the race.

Michigan Bureau of Elections says top GOP gubernatorial candidates [are] ineligible for [the state] ballot.  Two of the most prominent Republicans running for governor in Michigan are ineligible after failing to submit enough valid signatures to make it on the ballot.  Republicans seem to have lost two of their most serious contenders for the gubernatorial election in Michigan.  Chief James Craig of the Detroit Police Department and businessman Perry Johnson — two of the most prominent Republicans running against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer — both failed to produce the valid signatures necessary to get on the ballot.  Gubernatorial candidates are required to submit 15,000 valid signatures to appear on the state ballot.  According to the bureau, the affected candidates were victimized via a series of petitioners who obtained nothing but invalid or otherwise unusable signatures, putting them well below the mark.

Democrats' Georgia Lies Are Being Laid Bare.  The state of Georgia has been in the hot mess political spotlight since its gubernatorial election in 2018 when the thoroughly execrable Stacey Abrams lost to Brian Kemp.  Abrams was then released into the national political conversation, like poison into a city's water supply.  Abrams is a toxic person who can't open her mouth without lying.  She lies about the 2018 election she lost.  She lies about Georgia's efforts to address the glaring irregularities that plagued the state in the 2020 presidential election.  She's now added a new wrinkle to her foul shtick: dumping all over Georgia even though she is once again trying to become its governor.

Democrat Official Indicted For 82 Vote-Fraud Felonies.  A new report from WND has revealed that a Democrat county supervisor in the state of Virginia is facing accusations of dozens of counts of voter fraud, having shown up at the homes of voters, with absentee ballot applications and ballots, in order to ensure that he would have their vote.  Again, the radical left in this country is willing to stoop to any low in order to get the outcome they desire, even if it means destroying the fabric of our nation by obliterating one of its chief cornerstones: a free and fair election.  "It is broadcaster WJHL that reported Knox District Supervisor for Buchanan County Trey Adkins is facing 82 felony charges handed down by a grand jury," the report said.

As Georgia ballot harvesting probe starts, some election evidence has vanished already.  Since 1960, federal civil rights law has required state and local election officials to "retain and preserve" records relating to elections involving federal officeholders for 22 months after ballots are cast.  That would seem to be a good thing as Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger embarks on an investigation into whether third-party liberal activists in 2020 illegally gathered and delivered absentee ballots for voters — a practice known as harvesting that is outlawed in the Peach State.  But some of Georgia's largest counties tell Just the News that they no longer possess evidence that could be helpful to probing the harvesting allegations:  video camera surveillance footage that monitored the drop boxes installed around Georgia to help voters cast ballots during the pandemic.  Election officials in several counties say the reason they discarded the footage is that the emergency rules issued by the State Elections Board said they only needed to keep the footage for 30 days after the election.

Georgia's Record-Breaking Early Voting Turnout Defies 'Voter Suppression' Accusations.  Early voting in Georgia broke records this week despite last year's adoption of election integrity measures that critics derided as "voter suppression" and President Joe Biden called a "blatant attack" on the Constitution and compared to a Jim Crow-era relic.  More than 710,000 people had voted early in Georgia's primary election as of May 19, according to the secretary of state's office, which is 149 percent higher than at the same point in 2020, when elections officials encouraged vote-by-mail and early voting to reduce crowding at polling stations amid the COVID-19 pandemic.  "The record early voting turnout is a testament to the security of the voting system and the hard work of our county election officials," Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said in a statement.

A PDF File Is Not Paper, So PDF Ballots Cannot Be Verified.  For overseas voters or voters with disabilities, many states provide "Remote Accessible Vote By Mail," or RAVBM, a system that allows voters the ability to download and print an absentee ballot, fill it out by hand on paper, and physically mail it back.  Some states use commercial products, while others have developed their own solutions.  In general, this form of RAVBM can be made adequately secure, mainly because the voters make their own marks on the paper.  In some forms of RAVBM, the voter can fill out the ballot using an app on their computer before printing and mailing it.  This is less secure: if malware on the voter's computer has "hacked" the voting app, what's printed out may differ from what the voter indicated on the screen, and voters are not very good at reviewing the printouts and noticing such changes.  The most dangerous form of RAVBM is one that allows electronic ballot return, in which the voter uploads or emails a PDF file.

Law Enforcement Raids Nonprofits In '2000 Mules' Ballot Trafficking Investigation.  Law enforcement has conducted a raid on Yuma County nonprofit organizations connected to the ballot trafficking scheme discovered by Yuma County citizens and revealed in the "2000 Mules" documentary.  True The Vote and Dinesh D'Souza's groundbreaking new film revealed that the 2020 Presidential Election was stolen through illegal ballot trafficking and featured the undercover investigative work of David Lara and Arizona State Senate candidate Gary Snyder.  David Lara tells us, "San Luis is Ground Zero for election fraud in Arizona."  As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, The Yuma County Sheriff and Yuma County Recorder opened a new investigation into cases of impersonation fraud, false registrations, duplicate voting, and fraudulent use of absentee ballots.

Same Woman Makes Four Trips to Detroit Drop Box In TWO Days; Deposits Stacks Of Ballots.  The following exclusive drop box footage from the Balduck satellite voting center in Detroit, MI, was obtained by the Gateway Pundit and 100 Percent Fed Up:  On October 28, 2020, at 4:35, a female driving a blue Toyota with a red air freshener hanging from her rear-view mirror drove up to an absentee ballot drop box at the Balduck satellite voting center in Detroit, MI.  A female passenger emerges from her vehicle with a large stack of what appears to be absentee ballots.  The female passenger struggles to deposit multiple ballots at one time into the drop box slot and can actually be seen tearing one of the envelopes as she attempts to jam too many ballots into the slot at once.  The slots in the drop boxes are supposed to be designed to accept one ballot at a time.  The female passenger eventually completes her deposit of the large stack of ballots, and they pull away.

Election Fraud in 2022?  Next week is the start of the 2022 election season in Georgia with the party primary elections.  All the party leaders involved in the controversy over allegations of election fraud in November 2020 are up for reelection.  The other hot issue for Georgia's voters is whether the 2021 election reform law will produce credible election results in 2022 and 2024, results that reflect the will of a majority of lawful voters.  The odds are not good that the reform will work.  The movie 2000 Mules provides [ample] evidence of an organized plot to stuff election drop boxes in the 2020 election with "harvested" ballots — often in the dead of night.  It's all there on your computer screen when you stream the video.  Does the 2021 law address this sort of widespread fraud?

Ballot fiasco delays results in Oregon, vote-by-mail pioneer.  The fiasco affects up to 60,000 ballots, or two-thirds of the roughly 90,000 returned so far in Oregon's third-largest county.  Hundreds of ballots were still coming in under a new law that allows them to be counted as long as they are postmarked by Election Day, and 200 Clackamas County employees were getting a crash course Thursday in vote-counting after being redeployed to address the crisis.  Elections workers must pull the faulty ballots from batches of 125, transfer the voter's intent to a fresh ballot, then double-check their entries — a painstaking process that could draw the election out until June 13, when Oregon certifies its vote.

The Editor says...
Any time a bunch of county workers "transfer the voter's intent to a fresh ballot," there is a great potential for the workers to transfer their own intent instead.  Who is supervising this "transfer?"

Report: Pennsylvania Polling Stations Forced to Turn Voters Away Due to Ballot Shortage.  Multiple polling stations in Pennsylvania had to turn voters away on this primary election day after reportedly suffering a shortage of ballots.  The ballot shortage impacted multiple polling stations in Pennsylvania's Allegheny County, including at polling stations in Stowe Township and Hanover Heights.  According to Stowe Township's Council President Robin Parilla, Alleghany County has not responded to her request for more ballots.  As a result, Parilla has had to turn voters away.

Will 2022 Vote Be Fair?  Nearly A Third Of Americans Say No.  ill America's elections in November be fair and free of fraud?  Unfortunately, nearly a third of all Americans believe the answer is "no," the latest monthly I&I/TIPP Poll found, suggesting that the November mid-term congressional elections could be among the most closely scrutinized in recent history.  The May poll asked 1,320 Americans, "Generally speaking, how confident are you that votes will be cast and counted accurately in the November elections?"  Among those responding, 61% said they were either "very confident" (36%) or "somewhat confident" (25%).  On the other hand, 31% said they were "not confident, with 20% saying they were "not very confident" and 11% saying they were "not at all confident."

The Editor says...
There will never be another fraud-free election in the U.S. using the current system.

It's Déjà Vu All Over Again:  Is the Uniparty Stealing PA GOP Primary from Dr. Oz?  [Scroll down]  Whether you like Dr. Oz, or Kathy Barnette, or David McCormick is not the issue.  The issue is Pennsylvania cannot run a trustworthy election.  You cannot trust what is going on behind the closed doors in Pennsylvania.  This should concern every Republican and every honest American.  We either have a republic or we don't have one.

Dinesh D'Souza says 'Our Film Proves Joe Biden is Not the President'.  Dinesh D'Souza of 2000mules.com joined "The Alex Jones Show" Tuesday [5/17/2022] to break down the evidence presented in his new documentary film proving Joe Biden's election was illegitimate.  In this explosive interview, D'Souza said, "Joe Biden is a usurper to the degree that it's illegal fraud organized by the left and by the Democrats to put him in office."  [Video clip]

VoterGA Exposes Local TV Station that Posted Premature Primary Results Before the Upcoming Election.  VoterGA released a statement today about a local Georgia TV station that came out with artificial Georgia primary election results for all statewide and US Congressional races in the Georgia primaries.  The election hasn't even taken place yet.  According to VoterGA a local TV station shared primary results that they put together related to the upcoming primaries.  These artificial results showed a far-left basis.  VoterGA found out that the results were produced for the local channel WSB-TV by the Associated Press.

2000 Mules Just "Tip of the Voter Fraud Iceberg" — Michigan Investigators Reveal Mountain of New Evidence of 2020 Election Fraud.  With the release of 2,000 Mules, patriots around the country are seeing the truth about the obvious voter fraud that was caught on video at designated ballot boxes.  The Mules are those who were dropping fraudulent ballots into drop boxes.  We know about the ones that were recorded and who were sloppy enough to keep their phones with them as they committed systemic voter fraud.  What is overlooked by many, though, is that there is much more voter fraud evidence from the 2020 election emerging.  Patriot Joe Brandis, who has been investigating Michigan voter fraud since the 2020 election with Michigan Citizens for Election Integrity says, "this is just the tip of the iceberg of voter fraud evidence that is emerging every week, and what's about to come."

Oregon To Allow Ballots 7 Days After Elections With New Postage Date Law.  Infamous for being one of the early adopters of vote-by-mail, Oregon always looks for ways to expand the methods that unscrupulous individuals can take advantage of the system.  The latest example being a new law that allows ballots to be counted long after election night as long as the envelope was post marked for election day.  That could even mean it was put in a postage box after 8:00 PM on election night.  That could mean piles of extra ballots found sitting in a bin in some post office that employees "forgot about" until seven days after an election.  In the event of a close race separated by only a few votes, that could mean the public would have to wait weeks for that election to be certified.

74 Harvesting and Mule Rings:  Where They Were, How They Did It, And The Impact - Our Work is Now Corroborated.  The best way to understand the dysfunctional 2020 election is to see that California's election processes, shortcuts, tricks, tactics, techniques, and procedures were exported to the entire nation, against the laws of most states.  One of the major election tricks championed by California's renegade government is the practice of ballot harvesting.  Ballot harvesting is the collection and return of ballots by someone other than the voter and can be innocently applied to one spouse dropping off a ballot for another.  Ballot harvesting is abused when it is used to seek out illegally mailed ballots in places such as nursing homes, apartments, and dormitories.  2000 Mules documented the trafficking of mail ballots to drop boxes, typically in the dark of night by those commissioned to deliver hundreds, if not thousands, of ballots each over weeks of the period allotted for returning mail ballots.  The system was sophisticated and clearly engineered to overcome what was expected to be monstrous turnout for Donald Trump.  Every trend, indicator, bellwether, and predictor, some valid for more than a century, showed a Trump victory was inevitable.  Ballots were picked up at pre-designated headquarters and sent by "mules" throughout the surrounding counties.

How Zuckerberg Used a Tax-Exempt Foundation to Help Biden Fix the 2020 Election.  A rarely mentioned fact about the 2020 election is that Biden eked out a victory by perhaps the narrowest margin in history — .027% of the 159 million votes cast.  This was a margin easily created by a strategic influx of campaign cash coupled with orders to spend the money on massive numbers of paper ballots, which could be harvested from "drop boxes," which, as Dinesh D'Souza's documentary 2000 Mules shows, were repeatedly stuffed by Democrat operatives in the middle of the night.  All these millions of Zuckerberg dollars, underwritten by American taxpayers, drew no attention from I.R.S. Commissioner Charles Rettig or the I.R.S. investigating teams whose responsibility it was to see that taxpayer supported operations like the Zuckerberg "charities" were not intervening in American election campaigns with the idea of shaping their outcomes.  In 2020, the Zuckerbergs donated $69.5 million to the tax-exempt Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR), whose founder was formerly a director of the leftwing People For the American Way, and $350 million to the "Safe Elections" Project of the tax-exempt Center for Technology and Civic Life (CTCL).

Flashback to the 2000 election:
The Leftwing Insurrection.  I was just a child, but I do recall the hoopla over the 2000 election.  Memory is short, but liberal writers and activists militantly wrote opinion pieces decrying the "stolen" election.  Jonathan Chait, 12 years later, in New York Magazine, wrote that the 2000 election was stolen.  Even more recently, Terry McAuliffe, the ungracious loser of the 2021 Virginia gubernatorial election, spewed that the 2000 election was stolen.  Twenty years after the election, many liberals cannot — will not — accept the 2000 election.  Their language of a stolen election implies what?  Insurrection and illegitimacy.  Though George W. Bush won his 2004 reelection with a majority of the popular vote, expanding and building upon his support for the War on Terror and the toppling of Saddam Hussein at the time, Christopher Hitchens of Vanity Fair wrote of election irregularities in my native state of Ohio — a full two years after the fact.

Wisconsin 2020 election investigation screeches to halt.  Former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman's inquiry into the 2020 presidential election has reportedly been halted amid several lawsuits over his investigation.  While his investigation into the election is paused, Gableman's $11,000 monthly salary will be halved to $5,500, and he will receive a $2,500 monthly stipend to pay for rent, General Assembly Speaker Robin Vos announced Wednesday, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.  "Until we win those lawsuits, you know, we are pausing the investigation because it's not like we're going to keep looking into things we've already discovered," Vos, a Republican, said.

Democrat official indicted on 82 counts of voter fraud.  A county supervisor in Virginia has been accused of dozens of counts of voter fraud in a case in which prosecutors allege he showed up at the homes of voters, with absentee ballot applications and ballots, to ensure he would have their vote.  According to WJHL a grand jury indicted Knox District Supervisor for Buchanan County Trey Adkins on 82 felony charges.  Those charges include 34 counts of false statement — election fraud, 11 counts of absentee voting procedure violations, 11 counts of forgery of a public record, 3 counts of conspiracy to make a false statement — election fraud, and more.

The Mules Absolutely Won It For The Donkeys.  I just saw one of the most amazing documentaries I've ever laid my eyes on.  As much of America as possible absolutely MUST see Dinesh D'Souza's film: "2000 Mules".  It certainly appears to me to be the bottom-line truth as to whether America's 2020 election was fixed.  See this movie and you will, without equivocation, know that it was.  The painstaking research and documentation it took to compile this masterpiece are not here easily described.  So I'm not going to bother.  Suffice it to say that you must see this film.  America must see this film to help set itself right-side-up again.  For that very reason you probably aren't going to easily see this video on most extant social network formats.

Voting Machines Across The Country Found With Shady Program That Can Change Elections.  Earlier this year we reported about an appeal made to a federal judge to release a report that suggests there may be some flaws in the equipment used by Dominion Voting Systems in Georgia, despite its secrecy.  "The public deserves to know the context of J. Alex Halderman's claims and his testimony regarding the 2020 election," Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said when he called for the document to be released, according to the Washington Examiner.  "Georgia voters face an extreme risk that [ballot marking device]-based attacks could manipulate their individual votes and alter election outcomes," said Halderman, a computer science professor at the University of Michigan, in a report last year, according to the Daily Beast.

Florida's secretary of state to resign ahead of upcoming elections.  Florida's secretary of state is resigning, seven months before the November elections.  Laurel Lee submitted her resignation to Gov. Ron DeSantis Thursday, according to the governor's spokesperson.  The resignation is effective Monday, May 16.

Voting Machines Were Able to Create and Fill Out Own Ballots?  Things are heating up as the New Mexico election investigation is hitting full steam.  New discoveries are being made daily regarding the circumstances that lead to what happened during the 2020 election.  This isn't purely to litigate the 2020 election.  Voting integrity regulators are looking to ensure the same things aren't able to happen in November.  According to a new report from The Gateway Pundit, they claim a documented feature within Dominion voting machines has caught the attention of investigators.

Voting Systems Used Across the Country Have Functionality to Create Ballots and Fill Them Out.  This week auditors in New Mexico uncovered a number of material issues in their work to date.  One item that we learned is that the voting system is able to fill out ballots.  Combined with what we knew some time ago, this is devastating.  This past week auditors in New Mexico identified that the voting systems used in the counties under review have the ability to fill in ballots.  This was noted in the presentation before officials in Otero County, New Mexico.  We then learned earlier today that a prior New York state investigation identified malicious code that could do this.

Alaska's Special Election Is A Template For How The Left Wants To Rig The Vote.  Next month, Alaskans will vote in a special primary election for the state's single congressional seat, left vacant by the death of Republican Rep. Don Young in March.  Young, the longest-serving Republican in the history of the U.S. House, was Alaska's sole congressman for 49 years, so the election to replace him is in some ways an historic event for the state.  But it's also historic in another way:  it will be Alaska's first ever statewide mail-in primary election.  That is, there will be no in-person voting at all.  Every single voter on the state's bloated and error-riddled voter rolls was automatically mailed a blank ballot.  What's more, there will be no verification requirements for these mail-in ballots.  Voters will simply need to fill out their ballot and have a witness observe them sign the envelope.  The state's Division of Election has explicitly said it will not verify the authenticity of the signatures on the ballots.

Federal Judge Eviscerates Russia Collusion Hoaxer Marc Elias For Aiming To Undermine New York Elections.  Another federal judge slapped down top Democrat operative and prime Russia collusion hoaxer Marc Elias this week for attempting to undermine free and fair elections, this time in New York.  "This is a Hail Mary pass, the object of which is to take a long shot try at having the New York primaries conducted on district lines that the state says are unconstitutional," U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan wrote.  In a 17-page complaint, Elias, who is infamous for using deception, lies, and money to meddle with U.S. elections and push Democrats to the top, used his law firm to ask the district court to reconsider the Democrat-drawn House maps which would likely grant the leftist party three extra seats in the 2022 midterms.

Auditor Who Dismissed 2020 Fraud Failed to Declare Thousands of Dollars from Zuckerberg Election Interference Fund.  An election official from a county which received funds from the Mark Zuckerberg's Center for Tech and Civic Life used a local newspaper column to dismiss evidence of election fraud, praising mail-in ballots in the process, and helping dismiss notions of foul play despite his obvious conflict of interest.  Paddy McGuire, who penned his article for the Shelton-Mason County Journal in 2020, also falsely claimed mail-in voting ensures unparalleled "safety and security," while also defending the county's decision to ban in-person election observers.  McGuire, the Auditor for Washington's Mason County, authored over one dozen articles for the County Journal during the lead-up to the 2020 election, but never disclosed that his county received a cash grant from the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL).

The Bogus Placeholder Birthdate Excuse in the 2020 Election.  There was no end of ridicule from Democrats and mainstream media regarding the issue of republican hysteria over "dead people voting" in the 2020 election.  Viral videos were allegedly spreading disinformation and the notion that 120 [year pld] people were "voting" courtesy of the fraudulent schemes cooked up by the Democrats.  1/1/1900 became a date in history to remember as the "temporary placeholder" for absentee ballots arriving just before election day.  As Detroit's Director of Elections, George Azzouz explained to CNN, "The placeholder information has to be inserted in order for the electronic poll book (EPB) to accept the entry."  Senior Election Advisor, Chris Thomas, said later in sworn testimony that "this use of a "placeholder" birthdate is standard, acceptable procedure."  Is this truly a "standard, acceptable" procedure?

Fact Checking the Fact Checkers:  Debunking AP's '2000 Mules' Hit Piece.  Many of us were alarmed on Election Night 2020 when, while the results were looking good for Donald Trump, multiple states suddenly stopped counting votes.  As the night wore on and went into the next day, it seemed that every update was favorable for Biden until he was ultimately named President-Elect.  While Trump's campaign repeatedly promised to "release the Kraken" and bring forward evidence of election fraud that would prove that the election was stolen, focusing on electronic voting machines, that evidence didn't materialize.  RedState's Scott Hounsell pointed out various states and cities — even down to the precincts — that should be investigated, and that information was given to the Trump campaign to no avail.

Why aren't we allowed to question the 2020 election?  Do you find it strange that we do not dare challenge the prevailing narrative of the 'democratic' party of projection and the nation's socialist media?  Especially since questioning electoral integrity is a cottage industry for themselves whenever they lose. [...] Within days of the chaos of mail-in voting, ballot harvesting, and dropbox stuffing, we were told it was in fact the "most secure in history."  One of the 'debunking' stories had a great quote that 'extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof.'  If the 2020 election was the "most secure in history," then that extraordinary claim needs some extraordinary proof. [...] We are also supposed to forget all the glaring statistical oddities of the 2020 election.  That the man who campaigned from his basement, or to tiny crowds in the middle of nowhere, earned 80+ million votes.  Even worse, was that his ability to acquire raw vote totals didn't translate to down-ballot races.  Does anyone feel like we're being set up for the same kind of fairytale story this time around?

2000 Mules election documentary grosses more than $1 million in 12 hours.  The film 2000 Mules, which documents claims of fraud during the 2020 elections, grossed more than $1 million in its first 12 hours of streaming. 2000 Mules, created by conservative political commentator Dinesh D'Souza, began streaming Saturday at noon on Rumble and subscription-based platform Locals.

Ranked Choice Voting is a Scam.  In the event you have the occasion to view anything promoting Ranked Choice Voting (RCV), also known as Instant Runoff Voting (IVR) in elections, you will see little in the way of good documentation and real history.  You will be bombarded with cartoons, platitudes, assumptions and flowery language.  Ours is an attempt to cut through the fog and haze of a perceived virtuous and Utopian process that is anything but this "wonderful, inclusive, diverse, better than fair, more democratic" scheme to manipulate your true vote and first choice preference.  It is a scam, a scheme being perpetrated especially on those who thought their votes would count.  RCV solves no problem but rather creates them.

CA Woman Finds US Postal Bin Filled With Over 100 Mail-in-Ballots For Upcoming Election While Walking Her Dog.  As primary elections for California's radical governor and AG heat up, non-Democrat residents of a state run by far-left radicals need to be vigilant to ensure their elections don't end up looking like November 2020.  On Saturday, Christina Repaci was walking her dog in East Hollywood, CA, when she found a US Postal bin filled with over 100 mail-in ballots for the upcoming election.  An alarmed Repaci contacted "several politicians" but claimed they ignored her.  The East Hollywood resident reached out to the local Sherriff's department, where she was told it wasn't their problem and was told to contact the USPS.

If you see something, say something!  And then you'll be treated like a suspect, or just ignored.

If We Cannot Secure Voting, We Will Perish.  Dinesh D'Souza's film, 2000 Mules, was just released, and it is jaw-dropping.  The level of questionable practices and outright cheating is staggering.  To oversimplify:  Using high-tech forensic geolocation, cell phone information was collected that proved that ballot drop-offs at multiple boxes miles apart by the same "mule" were in progress.  A mule is a paid or unpaid person who (in this case) drops illegal ballots off at these drop boxes.  D'Souza's team set the bar to determine fraud deliberately high so that results of this investigation could not easily be questioned or passed off as mere coincidence.  Stringent criteria were set up so that video evidence of highly suspicious drop box activity would be easily verified by unbiased parties.  D'Souza was inordinately careful so that his film would not be dismissed or ridiculed by rational people.  The purpose was not necessarily to claim that Trump won and Biden lost.  The purpose was to demonstrate how easy it is to cheat and that cheating did indeed take place in the 2020 election.

The Latest Georgia Voting Rights Controversy Is Erupting — Asking for a Signature Is Now Racist.  Have we finally reached peak outrage in the latest fight over Georgia election laws?  Lost in all the current furor, between Florida banning gay students, Elon Musk setting the Constitution on fire by employing the First Amendment, and the country being cast into the dark ages over the right to kill infants, there is more attempted outrage simmering in the state of Georgia.  More voting controversies are being claimed, and the rationale offered is only getting dumber.

Tech Giants Are Censoring, Blacklisting and Banning Posts on the "2000 Mules" Ballot Trafficking Documentary.  The virtual premiere for the movie '2000 Mules' was held last night live from Las Vegas.  In the film, Dinesh D'Souza and True the Vote provide answers and evidence of the stolen 2020 Election.  The explosive documentary was released on Tuesday at select theaters across the nation.  The movie "2000 Mules" proves through geo-tracking and video confirmation that Democrats used ballot trafficking to steal the 2020 election from President Donald Trump.  The national conspiracy involved every battleground state.  THOUSANDS of Americans participated in the virtual premiere last night.

True the Vote Announces They Are Releasing Addresses of ALL Ballot Trafficking Stash Houses.  The virtual premiere for the movie '2000 Mules' was held last night live from Las Vegas.  In the film, Dinesh D'Souza and True the Vote provide answers and evidence on the stolen 2020 Election.  The explosive documentary was released on Tuesday at select theaters across the nation.  According to the evidence discussed in the movie, if you factor in just the mule ballot traffickers, Trump won with 305 electoral votes.  That does not even count all the other fraud that occurred during the election like the mysterious ballot drops at 3:00 am in the morning or the questionable machines.  In April, Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk went on with Joe Hoft at 93.3 FM to discuss the movie.  Kirk, who is featured in the film, said this about the evidence collected for the film, "They saw that some of these mules would visit these drop boxes every night.  And then go to Stacey Abrams' headquarters and then go back to the drop boxes."

Dinesh D'Souza Speaks:  "In This Movie, We Show That There Are At Least 400,000 Fraudalent Votes".  Patriots in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, are gearing up for another jam-packed Save America rally following the release of Dinesh D'Souza and True The Vote's bombshell documentary exposing the "2000 Mules" that were employed to steal the 2020 Presidential Election from President Trump. [...] Tens of thousands are willing to stand in the cold rain for President Trump, the most popular President in American history.

Court Reinstates Florida's Election Integrity Laws.  Florida just got a massive win for election integrity.  A federal appeals court just reversed a lower court's decision to overturn Florida's newest election integrity laws.  The laws established Election Crimes and Security and worked to strengthen voting rules in the state.  This includes signature verification on mail-in ballots. [...] The court also dealt a massive blow to the lower court's claim that the law was attempting to suppress the black vote.

Ron DeSantis and the Constitution Score a Big Win Over the Activist Left and Rule by Random Judge.  Friday [5/6/2022], the US Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals handed Florida Governor Ron DeSantis a huge victory in the struggle to return sanity and the rule of law to Florida's elections.  To set the stage, in May 2021, the Florida legislature, as is its right under the US Constitution, passed a sweeping overhaul of Florida's election laws.  The purpose of the new law was to stamp out abuses that had grown up over time and quash new types of abuses invented during the 2020 let's-crap-our-drawers response to the Wuhan virus.  The Democrats and their allies, which find it extremely hard to win elections without resorting to fraud, cheating, and abuse of the legal process, filed suit to stop the law from going into effect.  Chief U.S. District Judge Mark Walker heard the case of the Northern District of Florida.  Walker is an Obama judge.  The significance of that soon became apparent as immediately played the "racism card."

Police Seize Voting Machine During Investigation Into 2020 Election Breaches.  Michigan State Police seized a voting machine tabulator April 29 and plan to expand its investigation into breaches of voting machine data related to the 2020 presidential election.  The agency opened an investigation into voting machine breaches in February after learning that an unnamed third party was granted access to the vote tabulator components and underlying technology in one Michigan county, according to CNN.  Michigan State Police Lt. Derrick Carroll told the outlet that his department is expanding the investigation into more counties after they were notified of additional breaches.  Carroll reportedly told the outlet that the breaches did not affect the results of the 2020 election as they allegedly occurred after the election was over.

Forged absentee ballots discovered in Harris County, Texas, from 2020 election, all for Democrats.  In 2005, former President Jimmy Carter, a Democrat, and former Secretary of State James Baker, a Republican, put out a report on how to improve election integrity that made one key point:  The country should never adopt mass mail-in balloting because it is ripe for fraud.

Election integrity org set to release evidence of "organized crime" effort to steal 2020 election.  A noted ballot integrity organization is preparing to release a wealth of documented video evidence showing that there was an "organized crime" effort to steal the 2020 election for Joe Biden because the hatred for President Trump's "American First" policies enraged the countercultural deep state.  Catherine Engelbrecht of True the Vote and fellow researcher Gregg Phillips have been involved in uncovering vote fraud and fighting for better election integrity for more than a decade, and the day after the highly contentious and suspicious November 2020 election, they made an agreement. [...] In February, the organization produced a small sample of what they say is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of evidence:  Video of what appears to be a man engaged in 'ballot box stuffing.'  The video clearly shows a man producing several ballots, fanning them out in his hand and then taking a photo of them before placing them in a ballot drop box.

Ballot Harvester Shaye Moss Receives John F. Kennedy Profile In Courage Award.  Georgia election operative Wandrea "Shaye" Moss was recently awarded the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award for "protecting democracy."  As The Gateway Pundit reported, Moss was seen in surveillance footage pulling suitcases full of ballots out from under tables to be tabulated.  Moss' mother, Ruby Freeman, was also caught on video shoving stacks of ballots through the voting machines numerous times late at night after all of the election observers were sent home.  The John F. Kennedy Library Foundation issued a statement on April 21 praising Moss for continuing to work as an election processor despite backlash from being caught on camera ballot harvesting during the 2020 presidential race.

The consequences of the stolen 2020 election are increasingly catastrophic.  Last year Mollie Hemingway wrote a book about the 2020 election.  Its title was Rigged, How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats Seized our Elections.  It is a comprehensive story of the numerous ways the left orchestrated the Biden win.  A few weeks ago, David Bossie released his film, also titled Rigged.  It exposed the scheme perpetrated by Mark Zuckerberg; "Zuckerbucks" had spent over $400 m[illion] to fraudulently rnsure a Biden victory.  This week brings the release of Dinesh D'Souza's film, 2000 Mules.  This film exposes and explains how paid "mules" in numerous states stuffed those drop boxes that Zuckerberg paid for with many thousands of ballots faked or harvested.  Using geo-tracking of cell phones, Catherine Engelbrecht of True the Vote and Gregg Harris uncovered two thousand people who were paid via a variety of leftist non-profits to stuff those drop boxes, over and over again.  The film is a shocking expose and reveals yet another very complex and devious way certain leftist non-profits cheated to win.

Election Integrity Dead:  Killed in Court.  In the wake of the 2020 election, states across the country enacted laws to try to prevent a repeat of the chaos from that election.  In some states such as Arizona, Texas, and Florida, laws were passed to prohibit the private funding of election offices.  In others, ballot custody vulnerabilities were addressed, such as limits on harvesting and drop-boxes.  Predictably, an enormous litigation apparatus attacked nearly every post-2020 election reform in federal or state court.  Too often, they were successful.  Arizona, for example, enacted legislation to ensure that only citizens are registering and voting.  No sooner had the ink dried on Governor Doug Ducey's signature, than the state was hit with a federal lawsuit by Mi Familia Vota, an organization dedicated to "build[ing] Latino political power by expanding the electorate...." This promises to be another example of trench warfare-style litigation ultimately decided well into the future.

Why the Democrats Can Expect to Lose a Lot of Elections.  Twenty twenty was a bitter defeat for many of us, and the charges of fraud were not without merit.  What wasn't true however were the tales of rigged voting machines swinging the election.  As I wrote not long afterward, the truth emerged, and it was just the same illegal ballot-harvesting operation the leftist activists always run, but this time with hundreds of millions in Silicon Valley dollars and the connivance of some election officials.  The new documentary out this week brilliantly documents how all this happened:  D'Souza's 2000 Mules.  For all the illegality, though, I think 2020 is going to be seen as a Pyrrhic victory, with so many of the Democrats' bad ideas catching up with them and as the black and Hispanic base sours on Biden and his party.  A wipe-out in 2022 will surprise no one.

The Editor says...
As far as I am aware, nobody has disproven the widespread notion of "rigged voting machines."  A year ago, plentiful news and opinion articles about internet-connected voting machines and statistics showing that there was something fishy going on in the vote counts, with fractional votes and so on, but those opinions are quiet now.  That doesn't mean the idea was disproven.

The Timing Was Intentional:  Roe v Wade Leak Was Left's Answer to "2000 Mules" Documentary Release Today that Proves 2020 Election Was Stolen.  The movie '2000 Mules' is set for its theater release today in over 200 theaters across the country.  In the film, Dinesh D'Souza and True the Vote provide answers and evidence of the stolen 2020 Election in this documentary released on Tuesday at select theaters across the nation. [...] The movie proves through geotracking and video confirmation that Democrats used ballot trafficking to steal the election in a conspiracy that included every 2020 battleground state.  We also know from our investigative reporting that Democrat PACs were involved in every state in the ballot trafficking operations.  This was a planned, organized, and well-coordinated conspiracy in battleground states.  We also know from investigators Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips that roughly 7% of mail-in ballots in each state were trafficked.  Without those stolen votes, Joe Biden would have lost the election.

Catherine Engelbrecht:  Georgia Gov. Kemp and Sec. of State Raffensperger Covered Up Evidence of Voter Fraud.  During an interview over the weekend, Catherine Engelbrecht, the founder and president of True the Vote, claimed Georgia's governor and secretary of state covered up clear evidence of election fraud, and of mounting a smear campaign against her organization.  Engelbrecht told War Room podcaster Steve Bannon on Saturday that she provided solid evidence of ballot trafficking to Governor Brian Kemp and Sec. of State Brad Raffensperger, but rather than act on it, they tried to discredit True the Vote's work.  The vote monitoring organization used both geospatial cell phone data and video surveillance to capture illegal ballot trafficking activity in six states.  True the Vote claims it was able to isolate 2,000 traffic harvesters, or "mules" who visited drop boxes with stacks of ballots late at night, used gloves to conceal their fingerprints, and took photos of themselves at the drop boxes to secure payment.  The ballot harvesters were caught on video making these trips to multiple drop boxes in battleground states.

Kari Lake and Mark Finchem Filed A Lawsuit To Ban Electronic Voting Machines.  Arizona Gubernatorial Candidate Kari Lake and Trump-endorsed candidate for AZ Secretary of State Mark Finchem recently filed a lawsuit against radical leftist Secretary of State Katie Hobbs and the corrupt Maricopa and Pima County Boards of Supervisors to ban the use of Voting Machines in the 2022 Elections.  The historic lawsuit seeks to prohibit the use of the corrupted machines "unless and until the electronic voting system is made open to the public and subjected to scientific analysis by objective experts to determine whether it is secure from manipulation or intrusion." The lawsuit states, "The machine companies have consistently refused to do this."

How to Deal with Political Stress.  The 2020 election was an election unlike anything this country had ever seen.  It was long, toxic, polarizing, and ugly on both sides.  The media couldn't get enough.  Everywhere you turned — TV, social media, Google, magazines, billboards, and even podcasts and radio spots — the election was in your face.  According to data gathered by the American Psychological Association back in October 2020, 68 percent of Americans surveyed said the approaching election was a significant source of stress in their lives.  (By comparison, just 52 percent said the same during the 2016 cycle.)

New Film Alleges 2020 Was Stolen, 2000 Felonies Prove It.  After May 7, 2022 there will exist a dynamic in the nation that has not since America woke up on the morning after the election in 2020.  Simply put, we were right.  By "we" I'm referring to everyone from the harshest critic of the "vote fraud" crowds but who in the back of their mind couldn't have confidence in the oft repeated lie "most secure election in history," to people just like you and me who had the audacity to ask about it and were told to shut up, sit down, or we'd be cancelled.  The premiere of Dinesh D'Souza's brand new film 2000 Mules will this week provide the basis for that validation (as most people still believe it) and also provide the basis for law enforcement to begin arresting people.  "What's the basis for these claims McCullough?"  Again put simply enough for Joe Biden to read correctly on a note card:  Geo-Tracking & 4.3 million minutes from state-owned surveillance footage.  So for the skeptics think about this level of proof, the property of the state the crimes took place in demonstrating hundreds of thousands of felonies.  No explanation needed:  the evidence exists and literally speaks for itself.

Catherine Englebrecht Outlines Devastating Evidence of Corruption by Georgia Governor Brian Kemp.  Catherine Englebrecht appeared on The War Room with Steve Bannon {Direct Rumble Link} to outline the evidence of election fraud that took place in 2020 through the use of ballot harvesting and ballot mules.  The receipts Englebrecht and True The Vote have gathered are the primary evidence in an explosive documentary that is going to be released shortly called "2000 Mules."  The 2020 vote in key county precincts was manipulated by illegal and fraudulent ballot harvesting.  Wayne county, Michigan; Philadelphia county, Pennsylvania; Maricopa county, Arizona; Clark county, Nevada; Dane county, Wisconsin; and Fulton county, Georgia.  True the Vote has the documentary evidence, and video from the drop boxes, outlining how the ballot harvesting took place.  However, corrupt local and state officials have refused to investigate the evidence because the political scandal is extreme in consequence.  Importantly, during the interview with Steve Bannon, Catherine Englebrecht notes the systemic corruption by Georgia Republican Governor Brian Kemp, and his entire administration, as one concrete example of the willful fraud that cuts across party lines.  [Video clip]

David Lara Explains The "Playbook" of Ballot Traffickers In Arizona After Discovering Ballot Mules In San Luis, AZ.  The Gateway Pundit recently spoke to David Lara, an Arizona citizen who discovered a ballot trafficking "cartel" in his local community of San Luis.  We previously reported that the Arizona Attorney General received this evidence before the 2020 General Election, but he did nothing about it.  RINO Mark Brnovich waited until now to investigate the stolen 2020 Election.  Court documents show that Alma Yadira Juarez, who pleaded guilty to casting ballots given to her by Guillermina Fuentes, was interviewed by prosecutors on August 6th, 2020, two months before the General Election.  Guillermina Fuentes was indicted for obtaining and voting on another person's early ballot and forging signatures on early ballot affidavits.  Alma Yadira Juarez was one of her mules.

New Mexico Finds Errors in Dominion Voting Machine Software Similar to Recent Issues Identified in Tennessee.  Another issue with the software in Dominion voting machines was reported last night in New Mexico.  Earlier this week we reported that there were errors found in the EAC certified Dominion machines in a recent election in Tennessee.  The 'glitch' moved a ballot and all ballots after that ballot to the adjudication process.  From there the ballots could be manipulated since not processed in the normal count process.

YouTube Bans Video Featuring Conservative Expert on Voter Fraud.  YouTube on Tuesday [4/26/2022] removed a video of a podcast discussion of vote fraud and the 2020 election from its platform, but the participants in the discussion insist they did or said nothing wrong.  The video featured an expert from The Daily Signal's parent organization, The Heritage Foundation, and had been on YouTube for more than a year without incident before being taken down.

Is This the Proof That We Have All Been Waiting For?  The claims that the 2020 Presidential election was wrought with fraud and abuse have been sung from every mountain top in the land, and by every conservative politician or public figure of note. [...] There have always been instances of voter fraud in elections, but to date, the cases have been limited to smaller geographic areas or concentrated in a particular election contest.  Never has there been proof of an effort to modify an election result on a national level, until now.  Documentary filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza's latest project, a movie entitled "2000 Mules" dives deep into the 2020 Presidential election and uncovers truly shocking technological proof of widespread voter fraud.  Using a combination of embedded GPS technology, video security camera footage, and interviews with perpetrators of actual vote fraud, Dinesh and his team have assembled the most impressive compilation of evidence yet seen.

Dinesh D'Souza Discusses His Perspective on the 2020 Election After a Full Review of the Illegal Ballot Harvesting.  Dennis Prager asks Dinesh D'Souza if his opinion of the 2020 election changed as a result of his research, organizing and collaborating with True The Vote, and reviewing all of the 2020 ballot harvesting work.  The results of the effort are assembled in the soon-to-be-released documentary, 2000 mules.  D'Souza explains that following the review of the specific precincts in the specific key targeted states, it became obvious the election was manipulated by an organized political effort to use fraudulently obtained ballots to stuff remote ballot collection boxes in those key precincts.  By taking this precinct level ballot harvesting action in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia, Nevada and Arizona the 2020 election result was a manipulated to provide Joe Biden a win.

Making Vote by Mail Permanent.  "Zuck bucks" are no more.  After pouring $350 million into largely Democratic districts in the 2020 election, boosting turnout for Joe Biden in strategic counties, the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL) has announced it won't be trying to privatize all future American elections.  Instead, it wants to federalize them.  Earlier this month, CTCL revealed its next project:  the U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence, an $80 million campaign to boost federal funding for elections, which are administered by the states, while centralizing how they're run.  Make no mistake, this is the professional left at work, and it starts with making vote by mail permanent.  America's elections offices received $800 million in additional funding for the 2020 election, half from Zuckerberg, half from Congress via the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act.  Yet shortly after investigations into Zuck bucks began in early 2021, CTCL began demanding Congress allocate a whopping $20 billion in extra federal elections funding, a 2,400 percent increase, to supposedly combat "rising costs for paper ballots" caused by global supply shortages.

Biden's open border:  One of the most successful voter drives in Democrats' history.  To fully understand how Democrats plan to turn America into a single-party state, take a look at two of their seemingly disparate actions shortly after President Biden's inauguration.  In Washington, Democrats immediately pushed legislation to fundamentally take over state-run elections to greatly loosen voter registration rules.  While GOP senators stalled the bill in January, Democrats have vowed to enact the unprecedented federalization, somehow, someday.

Georgia elections chief hints at organized effort behind ballot harvesting, registering noncitizens.  Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said his office is investigating ballot harvesting and the registration of noncitizens to vote, both of which he suggests may have been orchestrated by third-party organizations.  His office did a citizenship audit of Georgia's voter rolls and found more than 1,600 noncitizens who tried registering to vote, Raffensperger told the John Solomon Reports podcast Tuesday.  "[W]hat I found is we had 1,634 that were never put on the voter rolls, they were in the pending status, because they couldn't prove their citizenship," he explained.  "That's a felony in Georgia to even attempt to register if you're a noncitizen.  And that's a one to 10-year prison term, and up to a $100,000 fine."

The terrible unintended consequences of the Biden presidency (unless they were intended).  Nancy Pelosi let the cat out of the bag when she said, "I feel very confident that Joe Biden will be elected President on Tuesday.  Whatever the end count is on the election that occurs on Tuesday, he will be elected, on January 20th he will be inaugurated President."  [Video clip]  She knew the fix was in.  David Bossie's film Rigged lays out how Mark Zuckerberg funneled at least $400 m[illion] into numerous states for the drop boxes that, as Dinesh D'Souza's film 2000 Mules will show, were used to submit false ballots by the thousands.  Mike Lindell says that he has proven the voting machines were easily hacked and vote counts altered across the country.  No law enforcement agency has addressed why the vote counting stopped at around 11:00 on election night when Trump was ahead in the 4 key battleground states.  There's no doubt in my mind that the election was stolen.

Filmmaker: Documentary Proves Rampant Illegal Vote Trafficking in 2020.  Filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza believes that evidence presented in his new documentary, "2000 Mules," proves that large-scale, illegal vote trafficking occurred in the 2020 election.  D'Souza told The Epoch Times: "2000 Mules will settle the issue beyond a shadow of a doubt by using two powerful, independent modes of investigation.  The evidence is so conclusive, so decisive, that it leaves nothing to argue about."  The film opens in 300 theaters on May 2 and May 4.  D'Souza, who is a contributor to The Epoch Times, said an investigative team used cellphone tracking and video footage to prove that unauthorized intermediaries called "mules" collected thousands of absentee ballots from voters and deposited them in drop boxes for money, which is illegal in all 50 states.  Cellphones emit a unique and identifiable signal or "ping."  Trillions of pings were analyzed by investigators to reconstruct the movements of thousands of mules as they went about their work in the weeks prior to the 2020 presidential election, the documentary claims.

DeSantis Signs Law Creating Election Police Unit.  Florida governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill on Monday creating a state police unit that will specialize in election-related crimes.  The law establishes the Office of Election Crimes and Security, which will have 15 members whose work will include preliminary investigations of election fraud.  DeSantis must also appoint up to ten law enforcement officers to investigate election crimes with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.  The law also makes ballot harvesting a felony instead of a misdemeanor, and raises fines on organizations that violate election laws from $1,000 to $50,000.  DeSantis said the new election crime unit would be able to assist existing law enforcement at a bill signing ceremony.

Investigators in Georgia ballot harvesting probe zero in on funding, eyewitness whistleblower.  Georgia investigators have signaled their focus in a wide-ranging investigation into alleged illegal ballot trafficking during the 2020 election with subpoenas that target the possible source of funding for such an operation and any eyewitness participants.  The four subpoenas obtained Monday [4/25/2022] by Just the News through an open records request show the State Elections Board and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger want the identity of any suspected participants in ballot harvesting, including a whistleblower identified only as John Doe who an election watchdog claims admitted to gathering ballots for cash.  The document demands were delivered late last week to the election integrity watchdog True the Vote, its founder Catherine Engelbrecht, and its researchers from a company called OPSEC Group LLC.  They sought evidence that backs up the group's complaint last November alleging that as many as 242 people illegally gathered third-party ballots during the battleground state's November 2020 election and subsequent U.S. Senate races.

Democrats Attack, Block and Threaten to Sue All Efforts to Uncover Election Fraud.  The 2020 Election was the largest election steal in US history.  It was a mess.  But with all the theft, not one single complaint came from one party — the Democrats.  In fact, all the Democrats have done is block and attack anyone who brings up election fraud and then play the victim when they get caught.  Democrats from the beginning have not had one material complaint about the 2020 Election.  This along with their other actions indicates obvious guilt.  We've seen Democrats attack any legitimate efforts to uncover 2020 Election fraud.  They've blocked doors to counting rooms and forcefully prevented independent observers to see what was going on.

Fraud is the Only Issue.  [Scroll down]  With no actual accomplishments to point to, having ruined everything that was running so well for the American people, Democrats are turning to what has become their most effective electoral tool in recent years:  Fraud.  They did a magnificent job of perpetrating a total fraud on the country in the 2020 Presidential election.  We all know what they did and what they got away with.  Late night Democratic vote "discoveries" totaling in the thousands, untraceable interstate trucks delivering thousands of Biden ballots, voting locales reporting over 100% voter turnout, 19 of 20 bellwether counties being won by President Trump, Republicans not being allowed to monitor the vote counting process, state voting rules being changed in direct contravention to state law, and on and on.  And this point needs to be re-emphasized:  Just because the liberal media refuses to acknowledge these facts, doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Candidate for Georgia governor kicks off debate by proclaiming 'election in 2020 was rigged and stolen'.  Former Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.) has remained unrelenting over his concerns about voter integrity and, in the first formal gubernatorial debate against incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp (R-Ga.), he wasted no time in asserting his views that the 2020 election "was rigged and stolen" and that Kemp is partially responsible.  In the first of three scheduled debates leading up to the May 24 primary, the challenger, endorsed by former President Donald Trump, had been granted the opportunity to lead off the introductions Sunday.  Perdue capitalized on his chance to set the stage and made his belief clear that Kemp is as much to blame for the woes Georgia voters are feeling from the failed leadership of President Joe Biden.

1,634 Noncitizens [are] Under Investigation for Attempting to Register to Vote in Georgia.  Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has referred 1,634 cases of noncitizens attempting to register to vote for investigation and potential prosecution.  Attempting to register to vote while knowingly being ineligible is a violation of Georgia law.  A citizenship audit conducted by Raffensperger over the past few weeks, which he said was a first for the state, discovered attempts to register to vote by noncitizens in 88 of its 159 counties.

Are Democrats and Joe Biden up to their old election tricks?  [Scroll down]  They might not be any good at governing, but when it comes to seizing power by foul means or fair, they are world-class.  Which brings us to the thorny question of the 2020 election.  Most Americans agree something wasn't quite right about the new rules imposed under cover of COVID.  Forget Sidney Powell's harebrained Kraken that never materialized.  There were lots of ways Democrats tried to tilt the playing field in their favor, some more successfully than others.  Their pals in Big Tech censoring The [New York] Post's Hunter Biden laptop coverage before the election was one triumph.  Now pesky evidence is starting to emerge of systematic schemes to subvert the electoral process — which must not be allowed to happen again if we are to restore faith in elections.

Trump Reveals Trailer of Explosive '2000 Mules' Ballot Harvesting Documentary at Ohio Rally.  Former President Donald Trump on Saturday evening played the trailer of the forthcoming explosive documentary "2000 Mules" which reveals a wide scale ballot trafficking network of ballot harvesters across several swing states.  Trump played the trailer at the rally where he is campaigning with J.D. Vance, the candidate he endorsed for U.S. Senate in this year's Ohio GOP Senate primary.  The documentary, the product of a years-long investigation by election integrity group True The Vote and produced by conservative filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza, has been long-awaited and is chock full of surveillance footage showing specific instances of people taking multiple ballots to drop boxes and making trips to several boxes around their states.  The investigation has been anticipated since Breitbart News first revealed it last summer, and Trump has been hyping it for some time now in statements and commentary.

Trailer Released for "2000 Mules" — Shows How the 2020 Election Was Rigged And Stolen.  2000 Mules is a documentary film created by Dinesh D'Souza.  The film exposes the True the Vote's video evidence of a coordinated, funded, illegal ballot trafficking network across critical swing states during the 2020 election. [...] True the Vote has been working with Dinesh D'Souza to create this bombshell movie that uses footage and tracking data they obtained of ballot boxes in key states across America used to steal the election in 2020.  In early January The Gateway Pundit reported to our readers that our organization signed a legal agreement to hand over exclusive video from a major battleground state to True the Vote for their ballot trafficking investigation in the 2020 election.

Report: GOP Warns Raffensperger Of Stacey Abrams' Voter-Education Initiative For GA Students.  Republicans in the U.S. House sent Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger a letter flagging a report that a voter-education initiative spearheaded by Stacey Abrams is teaching students the state's laws restrict voting, The Washington Times reported Thursday.  The letter, written by Reps.  Rodney Davis of Illinois and Virginia Foxx of North Carolina, asked Raffensperger how he plans to combat the initiative, which is taught in Atlanta's public schools, The Washington Times reported.  It was also sent to members of the Georgia State Elections Board and the chair and vice-chair of the Fulton County Elections Board, the Washington Times reported.  Atlanta high school students were asked to attend a democracy class put on by the New Georgia Project, which Abrams founded in 2013, after the city's public schools partnered with the group, as well as Rock the Vote, in August 2021 to implement a "Democracy Class Atlanta" lesson plan focused on "voting rights," according to documents obtained in an open records request, Fox News reported.

Complaint Alleges Over 300,000 'Unverified' Votes in Fulton County, Georgia in 2020.  According to a new complaint to the Georgia State Election Board, more than 300,000 ballots are alleged to have been "unreliably recorded on unverified early voting poll closing tapes in Fulton County, Ga., in the 2020 election," reports Just the News.  David Cross of Election Truth in Georgia filed the complaint on March 28.  The complaint alleges that "Fulton County's Advance Voting poll closing tapes are a fraudulent, un-certified, unsigned, and un-checked false representation of over 311,000 ballots that no court could legally accept."  Joe Biden's state-certified margin of victory in the state was only 11,779 votes.  This comes on the heels of a recent report from Just the News indicating that at least 36 memory cards had to be prematurely removed from Dominion Voting System tabulation machines, "raising new concerns about chain of custody and belatedly discovered memory cards."

Wisconsin 2020 election investigator destroyed 'irrelevant or useless' records.  A Republican lawyer hired to investigate the 2020 presidential election in Wisconsin has reportedly been routinely deleting documents he considers "irrelevant or useless," drawing legal scrutiny.  The practice was revealed after watchdog group American Oversight requested an injunction to hinder Michael Gableman, a former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice spearheading the election review, from destroying the documents.  "Petitioner has learned that Respondent Office of Special Counsel has been regularly deleting records under its clearly incorrect view that it is not required to retain records a view that was explicitly rejected more than six months ago by the Wisconsin Legislative Council and that finds no support in Wisconsin law," the group argued in a court filing Wednesday [4/20/2022].

Dems' Midterms Panic Means More Election 'Irregularities' Are on Their Way.  [Scroll down]  They can pretend all they want that the 2020 election was error-free, but that's a narrative that's been cut out of whole cloth.  Myriad "irregularities" have been — and are still being — discovered.  There is no way to have more vote-by-mail and less fraud.  The embarrassing meltdown we've seen from the leftists over mask mandates going away is rooted in two things and — surprise! — neither of them has the slightest thing to do with public health.  The first, which Paula wrote about on Wednesday, is about the Democrats' unholy lust for federal control over the lives of United States citizens: [...] The second, which I have been writing about for months, is the Democrats' need to keep the COVID panic porn going all year to give them an assist in playing with election laws before the midterms.  Now that most of them have stopped deluding themselves about what's coming, their desperation will get really ugly.  Not that they need the COVID panic porn to implement their election sabotage tricks — much of what they got away with in 2020 has been made permanent in blue states and cities.

Trump hypes 'explosive' 2020 election litigation in Michigan.  Former President Donald Trump touted the "explosive" 2020 election fraud lawsuit in Antrim County, Michigan, in a campaign call on Wednesday.  Trump spoke for roughly five minutes during a telephone town hall event for Matthew DePerno, a Republican candidate for Michigan attorney general who is spearheading the litigation, according to the Detroit News.  "The mistake had to be corrected," Trump said.  "We caught them.  And they said, 'Well, we made a little mistake.'  It wasn't a mistake at all.  It was being caught."

Montana's 2020 Election Irregularities Are Still Unaddressed Despite Recounts Gone Wrong, Erased Records, And Suddenly Surfacing Ballots.  If we are going to avoid the type of debate that we saw after the November 3, 2020 election and restore confidence, then transparency is important.  Take one of the least obvious places where people have concerns about the election — Montana.  Donald Trump won the state in 2020 by 16.4 percent.  But there is an election transparency problem in Missoula County, Montana's second-most populous county.  If errors can occur in even relatively uncontested parts of the country, we should be broadly concerned.  What went wrong?  Well, it all got worse after Covid-19 made mail-in voting mainstream.  Last January 4, a recount of the 2020 election in Missoula made national news when it found 4,592 fewer envelopes than the County Election Office's tally of 72,491 votes.  That is a 6.33 percent difference in votes counted.  The county's election was entirely mail-in, and envelopes were crucial for checking dates and signatures.  During that recount, the Missoula County election board provided 31 boxes of envelopes to be counted.  On March 28, in a count commissioned by the Missoula County Republicans, the count resulted in only 71 fewer envelopes than votes.

It's Not Just Joe Biden.  The United States Has A Potemkin Government.  Consider the fact that the great United States appears unable to run a trustworthy election, nor even to broadly fix major election insecurities even after they are widely visible.  My Republican-run state, for example, grants an entire month of early voting, with no excuses required, which tampers with the electorate's knowledge about candidates, preferences incumbents, and allows for vote trafficking based on which homes have voted early and which have not by election day.

How Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg Rigged the 2020 Election to Defeat Trump.  Mark Zuckerberg is best known for creating and leading Facebook, a company that's made him one of the wealthiest men in the world.  With an estimated worth of $80 billion, he poured hundreds of millions of his fortune into the 2020 election.  Here's the thing:  You probably had no idea at the time Zuckerberg was influencing the outcome of the most contentious presidential election in our lifetime.  That's because we didn't learn the true extent of Zuckerberg's financial contributions until the voting already took place.  Now, thanks to a new 40-minute documentary film from Citizens United Productions, we know what he did and how to prevent it from happening again.

Groups with strong liberal ties funneled massive 2020 election grants to Democrat-rich districts.  Private donors led by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg pumped more than $400 million into administering the 2020 presidential election, money that was often funneled by Democratic operatives into Democratic districts in what became essentially a get-out-the-vote effort for President Biden.  The total amount of private donations for carrying out the 2020 election exceeded the federal government's entire allocation for election spending in the same year.  The U.S. Election Assistance Commission was responsible for administering the $400 million in "election security grants" that Congress approved in 2020 to help local officials administer the election amidst a pandemic.

Georgia's Governor Kemp, Who Certified the Corrupted 2020 Election, Now Tries to Distance Himself from the Election.  Georgia Governor Brian Kemp is trying to remove himself from any wrongdoing in the 2020 Election.  However, he was involved and he can't deny that he certified the corrupted and fraudulent results in his state. [...] The problem for Kemp is that he did certify the corrupt results in the state and he did so within minutes of having the opportunity to do so.  What we didn't know at the time was that that entire election in Georgia was a mess and Fulton County was a disaster and that the Secretary of State had an individual inside Fulton County on Election night who told him this was the case.  It was a disaster and still Kemp certified the results.

Citizens United President David Bossie:  One Week After 'Rigged' Film, Zuckerberg 'Throws His Hands Up in Surrender'.  Citizens United President David Bossie celebrated the success of the documentary film from Citizens United Productions, Rigged:  The Zuckerberg-Funded Plot to Defeat Donald Trump, which details how Mark Zuckerberg dropped $400 million for election efforts to quash former President Trump and bolster then-candidate Joe Biden in the 2020 election, telling Breitbart News Daily that the tech billionaire has already thrown his hands up "in surrender."  This week, the Center for Technology and Civil Life (CTCL), the organization partially responsible for distributing Zuckerberg's $400 million grants for election efforts leading up to the 2020 election, said they would cease to engage in similar behavior in the next election.  This announcement came less than two weeks after the premiere of Rigged, which shows just how Zuckerberg spent millions to defeat Trump.

Poland Shows How to Run Honest Elections.  It's not hard to run honest elections, even without fancy 21st century e-technology.  I actually live in such a country now.  I moved to Poland in 2007, and I can tell everybody that Poland runs honest elections.  Actually, I think this is also true of France, Germany and most countries of Western Europe, but I'll talk here of Poland, since this is the case I'm most familiar with.  Poland assures honest elections by doing two things that the United States does not do.  Poland has a) national ID cards, and b) residential reporting laws.  All residents of Poland, whether they are citizens or not, are required to apply for and receive national ID cards.

Mark Zuckerberg says he won't be so naked about it anymore.  Mark Zuckerberg, whose $419 million "Zuckerbucks" vote-rigging operation played a significant part in swinging the election to Joe Biden in 2020, now says he's a changed man. [...] Don't believe it.  Don't believe it for even one second.  Zuckerberg's mother-of-all-sleazeball political operations, which was described as "bribery" by Wisconsin state special counsel last month, directed cash to two non-government organizations run by veteran Soros and Obama operatives, to help city officials supposedly improve the election experience for voters under the rubric of increasing "inclusiveness" and improving democracy.

There are some things you can question and some things you can't.  In today's America, there are some things one can question... and some things one cannot.  You can question the existence of God. [...] You can question your own gender, but you can't question the LGBTQ agenda in any way, shape or form — for any reason.  Nor can you question the process or results of the 2020 U.S. presidential election, in any way, whether on a national, state, or local level.  If you do, you will promptly be cancelled, disappeared, or otherized.  Seriously questioning how COVID-19 was loosed upon the globe is also strictly verboten.  As is asking questions about the Biden family's ties to — and relations with — China or Ukraine.  In fact, you can't ask a pertinent question of Biden at all.

True the Vote, Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips, Outline Details of 2020 Ballot Harvesting Process.  Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips from 'True the Vote', sat down with Charlie Kirk for a lengthy interview and discussion about the 2020 ballot harvesting process that took place in multiple states.  True the Vote worked through a painstakingly massive data file (2 petabytes) of cell phone use to identify "ballot mules," people who were paid by political activist groups to gather massive numbers of mail-in ballots, take them to a central facility and then drop them off in various ballot collection boxes in specific states, specific counties and approximately 71 specific precincts.  The trackable cell phone data was then matched with CCTV records to identify and document the ballot harvesting activity that took place.  The results of the data were shared with various public officers, state and federal law enforcement in an effort to document the potentially unlawful activity.  Unfortunately, the political clubs (RNC and DNC) have largely ignored the story and avoided participating in any process that would use the information to bolster security efforts for the 2022 election.  It's a lengthy discussion with detail, but well worth the time.  [Video clip]

One Funeral at a Time.  Since the middle of the last century, Ohio has been viewed as a bellwether for the mood of the American people.  Presidential campaigns have focused on the state, believing it is always the key to victory.  Only twice since the Second World War has Ohio failed to vote for the winner of the presidential election.  Interestingly, those two outlier elections were marred by credible allegations of massive vote fraud.  Putting aside the fraud issue, Ohio's centrality to the Dionysian theater that is American politics makes the 2022 Senate race worth watching.

Engelbrecht and Phillips on the Charlie Kirk Show on 2020 Fraud and "2000 Mules" — 1155 Ballot Traffickers in PA.  True the Vote's Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips joined Turning Point USA founder and executive director Charlie Kirk for an interview last Thursday.  Engelbrecht and Phillips discussed their extremely high-tech probe into an "organized crime" ballot trafficking operation they say most definitely helped swing the 2020 election away from now-former President Donald Trump.  True the Vote released several never before seen video clips of ballot traffickers in Georgia during the interview.  During their explosive interview with Charlie Kirk Catherine and Gregg dropped several bombs, including:
  •   The NRSC was given evidence of voter fraud and did nothing.
  •   Brian Kemp led a fight against True the Vote to get to the truth.
  •   The FBI and DOJ used cellphone 'ping' data to identify, locate and arrest January 6 protesters but DID NOT use this same technique to identify ballot traffickers in 2020
  •   Ballot traffickers were operating in Georgia in the 2018 election — including a number of the same suspects!
  •   The ballot traffickers, or mules were making from $10 to $40 per ballot dumped into the ballot boxes.

Voting in France is on Sunday:  NO Mail-in Ballots, NO Dirty Voting Machines, Only Paper Ballots and Everyone Must Show a Voter ID.  Democrats could never make it in France.  They can't cheat.  Voting in the French presidential election is Sunday.  There are NO mail-in ballots.  There are no dirty voting machines.  Only paper ballots are used.  And everyone must show a voter ID.  Every democracy has voter ID laws — except the US where Democrats fight these laws.  Why is that?  Do they really think blacks so beneath them that they can't get a free ID?  Or are they cheating?

Beware the 'paper shortage' election ruse.  In the fall of 2020, I warned repeatedly on social media, TV and in my syndicated column about the Zuckerberg Heist — Silicon Valley's hijacking of our election system through a private nonprofit called the Center for Tech and Civic Life.  CTCL was funded by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, to the tune of $350 million.  Election information-rigging Google joined as a top corporate partner, along with the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the Democracy Fund (founded by Never Trumper billionaire and eBay former chairman Pierre Omidyar).  CTCL created a "COVID-19 Response Grant Program" to "provide funding to U.S. local election offices" that steered voters toward insecure, fraud-vulnerable alternatives to traditional voting.  The Amistad Project led the way in exposing how CTCL's "dark money network pumped hundreds of millions of dollars into local election systems using the COVID pandemic as a pretense."  And as I noted at the time, the scamdemic and performative lockdowns provided a handy ruse to sabotage our regular Election Day experience through less transparent, more manipulable absentee and vote-by-mail mechanisms.

Explosive Pennsylvania Testimony Explains How Leftist Money Infiltrated Election Offices In 2020.  The Democrat governor's office in Pennsylvania colluded with left-wing activists to secure millions of dollars in private money to run get-out-the-vote efforts in blue counties in the swing state in 2020, new, explosive testimony revealed.  The Pennsylvania legislature heard this testimony, backed up by email evidence, on Tuesday during the first public hearing on two new bills seeking to block private grants.  Tuesday's public hearing began with statements by the respective primary sponsors of the bills that seek to ban dark money from elections, with Sen. Lisa Baker speaking in support of Senate Bill 982 and Rep. Eric Nelson encouraging passage of House Bill 2044.  Pennsylvania investigative journalist Todd Shepherd then testified at length on the results of his extensive probe into the insertion of private funds into the 2020 election.

Mike Lindell Claims Overseas Ballots Including Military Ballots Were Stolen for Joe Biden.  Business mogul Mike Lindell joined Steve Bannon on The War Room on Thursday morning.  During their discussion, Mike Lindell told Steve he has evidence that all of the overseas ballots in 2020 were marked for Joe Biden.  The ballots were tampered with and the votes all went to Biden.  The Gateway Pundit has reported extensively on this 2020 voter fraud scheme in several battleground states.  We have reported on several instances in three swing states that back up Mike Lindell's claims.  During an Arizona Senate session back in February, the discussion turned to the UOCAVA voters — the voters covered under the Uniform Overseas Civilian Absentee Voting Act.  These are the men and women who are serving their country in the military and send in a mail-in vote from where they are stationed outside the country.

Report: Ballot Harvesters in Georgia Stopped at Democrat Offices In between Runs to Drop Boxes During 2020 Election.  During the 2020 election, ballot traffickers in Georgia allegedly stopped at Democrat gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams' headquarters, and at least one other Democrat Party office in between their runs to stuff unmanned drop boxes with ballots.  Surveillance video featured in conservative filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza's upcoming movie "2000 Mules," reportedly shows people coming out of their cars "night after night" with piles of ballots, and stuffing them into drop boxes funded by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.  Election integrity activists used geospatial technology to track the ballot harvesters' cellphones to precise locations.

Biden FEC Nominee Admits Her Name Is On Legal Document Attesting Voting Machines Used In Georgia Illegally Switched Votes From One Candidate To Another.  For a year and a half, My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell has been called a liar, big box stores like Kroger, Bed Bath & Beyond, Kohls, Wayfair, and others have dropped his products from their stores over his claims that the voting machines in the 2020 election switched the votes causing Joe Biden to win the election illegally.  MI Constitutional attorney Matt DePerno, who hasn't given up on his legal battle in Antrim County, MI, to prove voting machines have the ability to switch votes, has been demonized by Democrats, including the current Attorney General Dana Nessel, who Matt DePerno hopes to run against in the November 2022 election if he wins the nomination of the MI Republican delegates.  Yet incredibly today [4/6/2022], while testifying in front of the Senate Rules and Administration Committee, FEC nominee Dara Lindenbaum, an election lawyer and former General Counsel to Stacey Abrams' campaign, admitted to Senator Ted Cruz that she put her name on a legal document swearing that voting machines illegally changed votes from one candidate to another.

Biden's FEC Nominee Sued Georgia Over Stacey Abrams Election Loss, Blamed 'Unreliable' Voting Machines.  President Joe Biden's pick to serve on the Federal Election Commission is representing Stacey Abrams's nonprofit and Raphael Warnock's church in a lawsuit that challenged the validity of Georgia's 2018 election due in part to the state's use of "unreliable" electronic voting machines.  In November 2018, election lawyer Dara Lindenbaum signed on to a federal legal complaint on behalf of Abrams's Fair Fight Action.  The complaint challenged the constitutionality of Georgia's 2018 election, which saw Abrams lose to Republican governor Brian Kemp in a race she never conceded.  Warnock's Ebenezer Baptist Church joined the suit in early 2019, just months before the Democrat entered Georgia's 2020 Senate race.

Former AG Barr Stopped Investigations into Trailer Load of 288,000 Ballots into PA from New York in 2020 Election.  Truck driver Jesse Morgan moved mail for the US Postal Service and came out after the election and shared his story of how he hauled tens of thousands of ballots from New York to Pennsylvania before the 2020 Election.  We reported on this in December 2020.  We learned in the summer of 2021 that former US Attorney General Bill Barr ordered the US Attorney in Eastern Pennsylvania to stop investigating 2020 Election issues in the state and turn any issues over to the Democrat Pennsylvania Attorney General.  This would have included the reports of approximately 288,000 ballots entering Pennsylvania on a semi-trailer from New York.

Court Reinstates Louisiana AG's Lawsuit Against Zuckerberg's Election-Meddling Group.  Last week, a Louisiana appellate court reinstated Attorney General Jeff Landry's lawsuit challenging Mark Zuckerberg's infiltration of the state election system with private "Zuck Bucks" that flooded the country during the 2020 election.  The lawsuit, State of Louisiana v.  Center for Tech and Civic Life, originated in October 2020.  That's when Louisiana, through Landry, sought a court order declaring that "private contributions to local election officials and the election system in general are unlawful and contrary to Louisiana law."  Landry's lawsuit followed attempts by the Zuckerberg-funded Center for Tech and Civic Life to dole out millions in targeted grants to election officials throughout the state.

Experts Claim in Testimony At Least 4.8 Million Ballots [were] Trafficked in the 2020 Election.  Thousands of ballots were trafficked in Wisconsin.  Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips from True the Vote testified Thursday before the Campaigns and Elections Committee in the Wisconsin Assembly on their investigation of ballot trafficking at ballot drop boxes in Wisconsin.  According to True the Vote 7% of the ballots in Wisconsin at the ballot drop boxes were likely fraudulent votes.  They estimate over 137,000 ballots were trafficked in Wisconsin.  Joe Biden "won" Wisconsin by less than 21,000 votes.

Will the Democrats Accept the Midterm Results?  The Democrats are about to lose their congressional majorities, and they are polluting our politics with a good vs. evil narrative in the hope of obscuring their myriad failures from the voters.  When Nancy Pelosi says she fears for our democracy if the GOP retakes Congress, what she's really worried about is losing power.  Pelosi will do and say anything to avoid that, even if it means actively undermining the legitimacy of the November midterm elections.

Mark Zuckerberg [was] Involved in Significant 2020 Election Interference, New Documentary Exposes.  Big Tech continues to be called out for its role in interfering with the 2020 election.  On Thursday [3/31/2022], as I covered, Republican members on the House Judiciary Committee sent a letter to Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and Twitter's Parag Agrawal about censoring the Hunter Biden laptop story.  Also on Thursday, Citizens United President David Bossie went on Fox News' "Hannity" to promote a new documentary, "Rigged:  The Zuckerberg-Funded Plot to Defeat Donald Trump." [...] The documentary will focus on the key battleground states of Wisconsin, Arizona, and Georgia, where there have been particular concerns about the election and vote counts there.  "Rigged" will address the cash flow from CTCL and CEIR in those states, where Biden's combined margin of victory was at about 42,000 votes, and which were key in handing Biden an electoral victory and the election.

Obama Judge Has Hissy Fit Over Florida's Election Law.  In May 2021, the Florida legislature passed a major overhaul of state election law.  The law's goals were to make elections more transparent and trustworthy while outlawing known abuses of the system, particularly those abuses that came into being based on the whim of unelected officials and judges to allegedly allow the system to cope with an election during a pandemic. [...] All in all, it is a valiant effort that regularizes processes across the state, prevents ballot harvesting, opens up closed backrooms to observers, and demolishes the whole "sue and settle" industry used by the left to get rid of laws that rein in fraud.  Naturally, it must be opposed.

Elise Stefanik Slams Democrats for Enabling Unconstitutional Gerrymandering.  Republican Conference chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) slammed New York Assembly Democrats for designing a gerrymandered map that was struck down as unconstitutional on Thursday [3/31/2022].  "The decision rendered by Judge Patrick McAllister is a win for all New Yorkers and confirms what we have been saying all along:  New York Democrats drew gerrymandered congressional lines to protect themselves and hurt all New Yorkers, specifically the North Country," Stefanik exclusively told Breitbart News about the GOP's successful legal victory.  The success may cost Democrats three to four seats in the U.S. Congress.  A lower New York court threw out the state's newly drawn Democrat-designed gerrymandered map because it violated the state's constitutional redistricting process.  The huge ruling for Republicans will be appealed to the Court of Appeals, the state's top court.

Election cheating?  Stefanik challenger admits being caught on video altering ballot petitions.  Before he dropped from the race, a GOP challenger to Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., was captured in video footage altering information on voter petitions to secure his access to the ballot.  Just the News obtained two videos shot by a Stefanik supporter that show Lonny Koons making changes to the forms while sitting in his car March 24 in a Walmart parking lot in Ticonderoga, N.Y.  The videographer who shot them confirmed their authenticity to Just the News.  In an interview Friday, Koons confirmed the videos to Just the News, and said he was was "correcting errors and blanks on the petitions" and had only recently learned what he did might be considered fraudulent or cheating.

America is suffering from a gigantic loss of trust.  Whatever they may say, progressives loathe democracy.  And they will do their utmost to destroy it.  Their behavior in the 2020 election, and since, proves the point.  I don't know who won the 2020 presidential election.  But I have a pretty good idea who did.  Progressives tell me who really did by their behavior: they adamantly refuse to allow fair audits of the election.  You oppose an audit only if you know you have cheated enough to win.  And we know from overwhelming testimony that cheating was rampant.

Democrats Have Painted Themselves into a Corner.  Democrats broke a host of state laws to allow improper ballots to install a decaying derelict in the White House.  According to the Pottery Barn rule, they broke it, so they bought it.  No one without a "D" has any responsibility for any part of the fallout from nuking election laws and procedures.  Many states have seen the carnage and built firewalls against future malfeasance.  So the way that the last election was "managed" is no longer available.  This suggests that the party of Biden is in for trouble.  So what can they do?

More Evidence of 2020 Voter Fraud.  John Lott has published a paper in which he applies three tests for voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. [...] Lott begins by looking at adjacent precincts that are in different counties.  He did this for Fulton County, Georgia and Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.  The operative assumption is that precincts across the street from one another shouldn't vote very differently (Lott controlled for demographic factors), suggesting that significant differences among the precincts relate to vote counting at the county level.  This analysis found at least 10,000 extra votes for Biden in those two counties.  Next, Lott applies the same approach to provisional ballots in Allegheny County, where voters were illegally allowed to correct defects in absentee ballots by submitting provisional ballots on election day.  Lott finds an extra 6,700 Biden votes because of this illegality.

US Postal Service Refuses to Release Investigative Report on Whistleblower Truck Driver Who Hauled 288,000 Suspicious Ballots Across State Lines.  Pennsylvania Attorney Tom King says that the United States Postal Service refuses to provide the report from its investigation of the semi-trailer full of ballots that went missing before the 2020 Election in the state.  In addition, the PA Supreme Court has yet to rule on election cases involving Dominion machines used in Fulton County Pennsylvania.  Joe Hoft from the TGP interviewed attorney Tom King from Pennsylvania.  Tom is from a family rich in history with the GOP and is now assisting Fulton County in a couple of court cases related to the 2020 Election.  Tom shared some breaking information on the status of the USPS truck driver and whistleblower who reported to authorities that he dropped off a trailer full of ballots in Pennsylvania before the 2020 Election.

Republican NY Supreme Court judge rules Democrats gerrymandered congressional districts and blocks their use in upcoming election.  New York's electoral maps were thrown into chaos on Thursday after a judge on the state Supreme Court ordered Democrats to go back to the drawing board and work with the Republicans.  The new maps were signed into law in February, as a consequence of the census — which every 10 years gives an updated view of the population, and a chance to redraw electoral districts to match.  It is meant to provide a chance to rectify fluctuations in the number of residents, so that each district is as equal in population to all other congressional districts in the state.  In practice, it is often a highly-contested process whereby Democrats and Republicans jostle to redraw the maps in their favor.

AZ State Senator Sonny Borrelli:  Unmonitored Dropboxes Revealed Over 733,000 Unaccounted for Ballots in Maricopa County's 2020 Election.  Yesterday, Arizona State Senator Sonny Borrelli delivered an update on the fight to ban unmonitored dropboxes in Arizona and the ongoing criminal investigation into Arizona's 2020 election.  The Gateway Pundit previously reported on an investigation into Maricopa County ballot harvesting efforts, which used Public Records Requests for all ballot box retrieval and chain of custody forms utilized in Maricopa County during the 2020 General Election.  The report concluded that Maricopa County officials violated Arizona law and do not have the required chain of custody for at least 740,000 ballots.  This investigation discovered that proper chain-of-custody documentation for the transfer of voted ballots from drop boxes was almost nonexistent.  Last Monday, The Arizona Senate Government committee considered HB2238, which was passed in the Arizona House to ban the unconstitutional unmonitored drop boxes.

Over 60,000 voters on NC rolls are dead, registered twice or enrolled in other state[s], report warns.  With midterms elections in North Carolina starting in about six weeks, more than 60,000 registered voters in the state are dead, registered in another state or registered twice under variations of their name, according to a new watchdog report.  The report released Tuesday [3/29/2022] by the Public Interest Legal Foundation, a nonprofit law firm focused on election integrity, in one example found 7,933 North Carolinians are still registered to vote after having died in 2020.  "North Carolina officials need to use the time they still have to prepare voter rolls for the midterm elections," foundation President J. Christian Adams said.  "Time is running out.  Silly, obvious errors in the voter roll can create opportunities for voter fraud and chaos in a close election.  Correcting deceased and duplicate records now will help to preemptively address those risks."

Hunter Biden, the New York Times, and the Coming Impeachment.  [Scroll down]  Some people, perhaps many people, lost friends when they claimed that the 2020 election was stolen.  Their former friends said there simply wasn't enough evidence to support that claim.  But how do we know — or rather, how do they know?  If you ask them, they will tell you only what they have read or heard from the media, media that we know now (well, we knew it all along) are dishonest:  we know that because that is the import of the New York Times's confession of error.  The awful truth is that you, Mr. and Mrs. America, wherever you are, have no idea whether the election was honest or not, because your only way of determining that is by what you read and hear from the media — which is shamefully dishonest and was totally in the bag for Joe Biden.

True the Vote Findings.  [Thread reader]  7 percent of mail-in ballots were trafficked in Wisconsin[.]  137,551 trafficked votes in election decided by 20,682[.]  But it wasn't just Wisconsin...  4.8 Million ballots [were] trafficked in the 2020 Election[.]  7% of mail-in ballots were trafficked in every Swing State True the Vote has looked in[.]  "It's an organized crime that was perpetrated on Americans[.]"  How they did it:
    Exploit inaccurate voter rolls
    Mass mail ballots
    Use NGO's
    Fund drop boxes

A paper shortage is looming over the 2022 elections.  Supply chain snags are making it harder for election officials to secure the raw materials they need to put on this year's primaries: paper and envelopes.  Local governments are placing orders months in advance for the supplies they need to print and mail ballots and other materials to make sure they don't get caught without voting materials.  The strain, caused by the same global issues holding up everything from garage doors to computer chips, is stretching already-thin election budgets and making long-term planning more challenging.  So far, there hasn't yet been a repeat of the situation in Texas, which had to limit the number of voter registration forms it gave to organizations ahead of the March primaries — but the 2022 midterms are just getting started, with a slew of statewide primaries approaching in May.

14 of Ballot Harvesters in Wisconsin Also Participated in One or More of Violent Riots in 2020.  Black Lives Matter-Antifa mobs caused over one billion dollars in damages in cities across America since May.  In Minneapolis alone, Black Lives Matter mobs damaged or destroyed over 1,500 businesses or buildings.  Over 700 police officers were injured in the BLM riots — and that was back in June!  Black Lives Matter was linked to conservatively 91% of the riots that resulted in the most expensive property damage in US insurance history[.]  Democrats incited the Black Lives Matter mobs for months as they destroyed communities across the country.  Many of these left-wing protesters ALSO were identified as ballot traffickers in Wisconsin.  Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips from True the Vote testified last week before the Campaigns and Elections Committee in the Wisconsin Assembly on their investigation of ballot trafficking at ballot drop boxes in Wisconsin.

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich Refers Criminal Action Against AZ Secretary of State Katie Hobbs For Election Crimes.  The Arizona Attorney General has referred criminal action against Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs to the Cochise County Attorney, Brian McIntyre.  In a letter sent Tuesday [3/29/2022], Attorney General Mark Brnovich delegated his powers to enforce criminal action against crooked Katie Hobbs for shutting down the online candidate petition portal and intentionally violating the law.

Biden got 255,000 'excess' votes in fraud-tainted swing states in 2020, study finds.  President Biden received hundreds of thousands of "excess" votes in Democratic-controlled areas in the 2020 election, according to an academic study on voter fraud that suggests the push to relax voting standards created new opportunities for electoral mischief.  John R. Lott Jr., the man behind the research, teased out those numbers by comparing Democratic-dominant areas to Republican-dominant places over the past two presidential elections, particularly in places where claims of election fraud were reported in 2020.

Are We Sure The 2020 Election Was Clean?  Americans have been warned by their superiors to not question the outcome of the 2020 election, because it will further the Donald Trump Big Lie that the presidency was stolen from him.  Yet we continue to see shreds of evidence that say the Big Lie is in fact the claim that the 2020 election wasn't corrupted.  Merely mentioning doubts about the legitimacy of the presidential election that put a doddering, grafting, plagiarizing, on-the-wrong-side-of-everything Joe Biden in the White House is enough to be sent to Twitter jail, get flagged by Facebook, and attacked in the mainstream media.  Shame is heaped on anyone who dares question the Democrat-media-Never Trump narrative that Biden won a fair and orderly election.  Of course the left has behaved in the most hysterical ways possible, feigning fear and ever searching for a fainting couch to fall into, shocked that some Trump voters actually have had the gall to express misgivings.

North Carolina Voter Rolls [are] Rife with Deceased, Duplicate Registrations After 2020 Election.  Tens of thousands of deceased and duplicative voter registrations were found after the 2020 election in North Carolina, according to a Tuesday report from the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF).  PILF, which describes itself as a public interest law firm dedicated to election integrity, cross-referenced state records and found that 7,933 North Carolinians were still registered to vote "long after death" in 2020. Roughly 12,940 deceased registrants were found on the rolls in the spring of 2020, "ranking the state 8th in the nation."

Republicans Secure an Election-Shaking Victory in Ohio Redistricting.  The sweet smell of victory is in the air this morning after it became apparent that Republicans are going to win the redistricting fight in Ohio.  As RedState reported previously (see Pain and Loathing Commence After Surprise Ohio Redistricting Decision), despite the Ohio Supreme Court once again striking down maps drawn by the GOP legislature, the decision itself was entered as a final judgment.  What that meant is that any challenge to the next maps submitted would need to start all over as a new lawsuit.

Court Rules Democrats Engaged in "Extreme Partisan Gerrymander" in Maryland.  I recently wrote a column on the hypocrisy of Democratic activists and members denouncing attacks on democracy as they engage in raw gerrymandering in states like New York.  Marc Elias, the former Clinton Campaign general counsel accused of hiding the funding of the Steele Dossier, filed in support the gerrymandered map.  The case is Szeliga vs. Lamone.  This is the first time that a congressional map has been thrown out in the history of the state.  (It is important to note that Republicans have also had courts rule against them in states like North Carolina and Pennsylvania).  While only 55 percent of Maryland identifies as Democratic, the map would have given Democrats a huge advantage in every district by carefully "cracking" or distributing Republican voting pockets to diffuse their power.

Milwaukee officials face Zuckerberg-related election bribery lawsuit.  Three Milwaukee, Wisconsin, officials face accusations of illegally taking "Zuck Bucks" to facilitate voting by purchasing absentee ballot drop boxes, among other things, according to a lawsuit filed by the Thomas More Society.  The complaint, filed last week against Milwaukee Acting Mayor Cavalier Johnson, former Mayor Tom Barrett, and City Clerk Jim Owczarski, claims the officials violated Wisconsin's election bribery law by taking private donations from the non-profit Center for Tech and Civic Life, which is funded by billionaire Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan.  "This is representative of a national trend," Thomas More Society Special Counsel Erick Kaardal said in a press release.  "Sixteen states have now passed legislation to ban or regulate the acceptance and use of private funds by public election officers.  Thomas More Society attorneys, prior to the 2020 election, were the first to litigate this issue.  Thomas More Society lawyers filed litigation in nine states.  "All of this litigation led to successful legislative action to ban this 'dark money.'"

New report: 255,000 'excess votes' for Biden in six key 2020 states.  A new deep dive into discrepancies in the ballot counts of six key battleground states in the 2020 election has turned up more than 250,000 "excess votes" for President Joe Biden, and maybe far more.  The key point in the upcoming peer-reviewed study for the journal Public Choice by economist and noted gun expert John Lott Jr. is that the excess voting may challenge — or explain — Biden's margin of victory over former President Donald Trump in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.  In his report, on the Public Choice website but still awaiting final approval, Lott said that there were 255,000 excess votes and possibly as many as 368,000 for Biden in the key states.

President Trump Lays Out the Voter Fraud in Georgia from 2020 Election during Commerce, GA Speech.  President Trump spoke tonight in Commerce, Georgia to a crowd of thousands.  105,000 people were watching RSBN Rumble live before Trump even hit the stage.  That number grew to 175,000 when Trump took the stage!  President Trump spelled out the numerous ways Democrats with the help of RINO Republicans stole the 2020 election in the state of Georgia.

The Stealing of the Presidency, 2020.  The left-wing news media didn't just poison the information environment with their incessantly negative coverage of President Trump going into the 2020 election.  They also refused to give airtime to important arguments of the Republican campaign — both pro-Trump and anti-Biden — which meant millions of voters cast their ballots knowing only what the media permitted them to know about the candidates.  To measure the true effect of the media's censorship on the election, the Media Research Center asked The Polling Company to survey 1,750 Biden voters in seven swing states (Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin), six of which (all but North Carolina) were called for Biden.  We tested these voters' knowledge of eight news stories — all important topics that our ongoing analysis had shown the liberal news media had failed to cover properly.  We found that a huge majority (82%) of Biden voters were unaware of at least one of these key items, with five percent saying they were unaware of all eight of the issues we tested.  This lack of information proved crucial:  One of every six Biden voters we surveyed (17%) said they would have abandoned the Democratic candidate had they known the facts about one or more of these news stories.  A shift of this magnitude would have changed the outcome in all six of the swing states won by Joe Biden, and Donald Trump would have comfortably won a second term as president.

American "election" reform?  Don't make me laugh.  I've argued before a couple-three times that the only way to minimize vote fraud and meaningfully reform our elections, here or anywhere, is actually quite simple:
  •   Use ONLY paper ballots, marked and counted by hand
  •   Vote ONLY on election day
  •   Require valid ID and proof of voter registration
  •   Voter MUST present himself bodily at his designated polling station — mail-in ballots limited strictly to military personnel, diplomats and emnbassy staff, and people abroad for business purposes, in a strictly-enforced and brief timeframe
  •   Election observers MUST be present — FROM ALL PARTIES — at polling places and, later, at counting stations, allowed unfettered access for close observation of all procedures, personnel, and materials
  •   NO electronic voting or counting machines — NONE, EVER
  •   After voting, participants will receive an indelible mark on their thumb comfirming they'd already cast their ballot, disqualifying them from doing so again
[...] It's long been my opinion that, when it comes to elections, technology is NOT our friend; the old, tested and true methods are best.

Another Video Emerges Showing Person Stuffing Ballot Drop Box With Large Stack of Ballots in PA.  Earlier this morning [3/24/2022], Catherine Englebrecht of True the Vote and Gregg Phillips of Vote Stand testified in front of the WI Elections Commission, where they shared evidence of ballot harvesters delivering ballots to ballot drop boxes in Democrat stronghold districts in Wisconsin.  [Tweet]  Last month, we reported about a male in Atlanta who was caught on a surveillance camera stuffing a ballot drop box with ballots.

Mike Lindell Drops 88-Page Forensic Report Showing Conclusive Evidence of Manipulated Voter Files From Mesa, Colorado.  For several months, Mike Lindell has been championing a forensic review of voter files from Mesa County, Colorado.  In a series of forensic reports looking into Colorado's use of Dominion vote tabulators, a data forensic team led by cyber-security expert Doug Gould have been reviewing electronic files from the 2020 election.  According to Mike Lindell, Doug Gould and the team of forensic analysts who just completed the work, have conclusive evidence that files were manipulated and deleted during a May 2021, software update driven by the system vendor, Dominion.  Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters made a copy of the election files before and after the Dominion vendor installed software.  A forensic review of those files shows a difference in the actual voting tabulation.  Mike Lindell notes he is filing injunctions immediately against seven states to stop them from using these electronic systems in the 2022 election, and later more injunctions will be filed in other states.  The evidence to support those injunctions is included in the 88-page report.  [Video clip]

Following Bombshell Report, AZ Attorney General Directs Maricopa County to Turn Over Mail-In Ballot Signature Files.  The Election Systems Integrity Institute released a report this month concluding that the Maricopa County, Arizona, mail-in ballot signature verification process used during the 2020 general election was deeply flawed.  The study, overseen by systems engineer Shiva Ayyadurai, found that the county allowed approximately 200,000 ballot envelopes with mismatched signatures to be forwarded for counting without further review.  Ayyadurai, who has multiple degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, testified last fall before the Arizona Senate regarding the findings of the Maricopa County 2020 general election audit.

Georgia Elections Board Approves Subpoena Power for Probe into Potential 2020 Election Fraud.  The Georgia Elections Board granted subpoena power to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Monday to secure evidence into possible illegal ballot harvesting in the 2020 election.  In January, Raffensperger announced he would probe a complaint submitted in November by True the Vote, which details digital data of 242 people making visits to drop boxes to dump mail-in ballots.  The complaint says about 40 percent of the trips occurred between midnight and 5:00 a.m., an unusual time to drop off ballots.  The probe is also looking into whether participants in the scheme were paid $10 for each ballot they dropped in the unsecure dropbox.

Maricopa County Receives Renewed Request For Records Or Information In 2020 Election Investigation.  After stonewalling the Arizona Senate for nearly a year on access to routers, Splunk logs, and other subpoenaed items that were used in the rigged 2020 Presidential Election, Maricopa County continues to defy even the Arizona Attorney General!  AZ Attorney General Mark Brnovich certified the fraudulent election, and he is certifying the cover-up by allowing the County to continue withholding elections machines and data.

The Editor says...
Unless you're addressing an envelope or typesetting an article in a newspaper, where space is limited, there is no reason to refer to Arizona (or any other state) by its two-letter postal code.  (In this case, AZ.)  That's just laziness.  Facebook habits are not necessarily appropriate everywhere on the internet.  There's plenty of room on a web page for you to spell out "Arizona."

Conspirators in Their Own Words.  We remember the conundrum over the 2020 election.  Most conservatives sensed that the election was "only" rigged in the sense that the Left earlier had openly conspired to sue states to drop or change balloting laws.  They had sought to warp bureaucracies to change protocols, to pour money into key precincts to absorb the work of registrars, and to transition the nation to a 100-million early and mail-in ballots election.  Mark Zuckerberg alone poured nearly $420 million in what the Left used to call "dark money" to alter the very way Americans vote.  It worked.  For the first time in our history, well over 60 percent of the ballots were not cast on Election Day.  That fact alone rendered the second presidential debate irrelevant.  More mysteriously, the usual rejection rate of mail-in ballots fell from 3-5 percent in most states to a fraction of that normal percentage.  So the deluge of ballots meant not that more were naturally suspect, but fewer than ever before?  But again, don't believe conservatives.  The Left was so giddy with their massaging of the election that they wanted their skullduggery high-fived and immortalized.  So the "conspiracy" was lauded in detail in Molly Ball's infamous Time magazine essay, "The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election."

The New York Times Doesn't Care If You Know That Big Tech Helped Rig Joe Biden's Election.  On March 17, 2022, The New York Times stated it had verified the authenticity of a laptop and its data as belonging to the president's son, Hunter Biden.  This was the same laptop holding information that Twitter, Facebook, and other corporate media immediately suppressed when The New York Post, a right-leaning competitor of The New York Times, reported on it three weeks before the 2020 presidential election.  If they had known about one of the Biden family scandals, such as the Hunter Biden laptop information, 17 percent of Joe Biden's voters wouldn't have voted for him, found a 2020 post-election poll.  This means big tech's suppression of this story likely made enough difference to tip Joe Biden into his low-margin win in the Electoral College.

To Date Not One Single Independent, Objective and Complete Audit of Dominion Voting Machines Used in the 2020 Election Has Taken Place.  Dominion voting machines were used across the country in various states and counties.  Yet, since the 2020 Election, not one single independent, objective and complete audit of the Dominino machines used in the 2020 Election has taken place.  Dominion voting machines were used across the country in the 2020 election, not in all states but in many.  But these machines have not been completely audited by independent and objective experts at any location since the 2020 Election.

President Trump Puts AZ Attorney General Mark Brnovich On Notice.  President Trump has released a statement putting Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich on notice while praising Arizona Gubernatorial Candidate Kari Lake for her huge primary lead, which is greatly due to her agenda to get to the bottom of the 2020 election.  The Maricopa County election audit discovered massive evidence of election law violations and hundreds of thousands of illegal ballots in the 2020 election.  All evidence was delivered to Arizona Attorney General Brnovich last September, and we have seen no action!  President Trump asks, "When is the Attorney General of Arizona going to rule on all of the Election Fraud and large-scale Election Irregularities that wait before him?"  [The] Arizona Gubernatorial Candidate is laser-focused on the stolen 2020 election.  Because of this, she is the Trump-endorsed Republican frontrunner for the August Primary Election.

Wisonsin House Speaker Admits 'There Was Widespread Fraud' in 2020 Election, Still Refuses to Decertify Election.  This is as bad as it gets, the Wisconsin House speaker, RINO Republican Robin Vos just admitted on camera that the Democrats cheated to win the 2020 election to install our Fake President Joe Biden.  He said they have proof of widespread fraud, but then immediately says that he doesn't have the power to overturn the election and decertify the 2020 election based on the massive amount of fraud that has already been revealed and more that he knows will be released to the public.  This is the 4th swing state that has now admitted Democrats cheated in order to steal the 2020 election from Trump and yet not a single one of them is doing anything to overturn it and install the rightful winner of the 2020 election, Donald J. Trump.  [Video clip]

Democrat official in Michigan charged with ballot tampering, misconduct in 2020 election.  A former Michigan county township clerk has been charged with ballot tampering and official misconduct in connection with an expected recount in her own August 2020 primary election.  Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced the charges on Friday against ex-Flint Township Clerk Kathy Funk, a Democrat who will face trial in Genesee County District court.  Funk is accused of intentionally breaking a seal on a ballot container so the votes could not be counted in an anticipated recount.  Funk was running for reelection, and narrowly prevailed in the unofficial count, Nessel said.  Funk also was serving at the time as an election official.  A recount did not happen.  Funk later resigned her township job and took a job as Genesee County election supervisor.

New group aims to disbar attorneys who aided Trump 2020 election lawsuits.  A new dark money group with ties to Democrats known as the 65 Project is attempting to disbar more than 100 lawyers who worked on former President Donald Trump's post-election lawsuits.  The 65 Project describes itself as "a bipartisan effort to protect democracy from abuse of the legal system by holding accountable lawyers who engage in fraudulent and malicious lawsuits," according to its website, which said it was given its name after an "army of Big Lie Lawyers filed 65 lawsuits based on lies to overturn the election."

New Rules on Extremism — DHS Will Target Anyone Who Believes Election Was Stolen or Who Challenged Fauci's Everchanging COVID Narrative.  In Joe Biden's first year in office over 2 million illegal aliens from dozens of countries walked into the United States across the southern border.  The numbers this year look even greater.  Joe Biden and DHS Secretary Mayorkas immediately opened up the US southern border after they came into office.  Biden also set another record.  Only 59,011 illegals were deported his first year in office.  This was the lowest number since 1995.

Did You Know Green Bay's Election Was Run From A Hotel Room?  There are so many newsworthy details contained in the just-released Wisconsin Special Counsel Report on the 2020 Election that it's hard to know where to begin.  Every American citizen should read this report because it explains how the election was stolen by Democrats.  That alone makes it worthwhile. [...] Why was a lawyer from Brooklyn in control of an election in Wisconsin?  That's a good question.  Let's begin, though, with an explanation of why it's been so hard to get any good questions answered at all.  Just take a look at your calendar:  it's March 2022.  The retired Wisconsin Supreme Court judge who conducted this Special Counsel investigation would remind all of us, first, that we're talking about companies that are hiding their tracks.

Wisconsin's Voting Machines Were Connected To The Internet During The 2020 Election.  Last August, Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos authorized the Office of Special Counsel (OSC), headed by retired state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman, to investigate concerns about the 2020 election.  Gableman delivered an interim report to the state assembly on November 10, 2021.  Last Tuesday, Gableman delivered a second interim report to the Wisconsin Assembly's elections committee.  Mr. Gableman wrote, "Ultimately, WEC's directives mandated that widespread "election fraud" be undertaken in relation to the November 2020 election."  Mr. Gableman vetted more than 90 nursing homes in five different counties before concluding there was "widespread election fraud at Wisconsin nursing homes in November of 2020."  [Tweet]  Mr. Gableman also found that $8.8 million in Zuckerberg grant funds directed solely to five Democratic strongholds in Wisconsin violated the state's election code's prohibition on bribery.  He wrote, "The record created by public document requests shows that CTCL, a private company headquartered in Chicago, engaged in an election bribery scheme."

Michigan Election Official Charged With Ballot Tampering, Misconduct.  A Michigan county elections official and former township clerk was charged with ballot tampering related to the August 2020 primary election, according to state Attorney General Dana Nessel.  Kathy Funk, who was running in 2020 as a Democrat for reelection as Flint Township clerk, also was charged with misconduct in office, Nessel said.  The charges, which are both felonies, each carry a maximum sentence of five years in prison upon conviction.  Nessel alleged that Funk purposely broke a seal on a container for ballots so that the votes couldn't be totaled during an anticipated recount.  She narrowly won reelection in the unofficial count, the attorney general's office said.  "Election officials must uphold the integrity of their positions.  Those who abuse that commitment undermine the very foundation of our democracy," Nessel, a Democrat, said in a Twitter response to a ClickonDetroit report.

Mike Lindell seeks access to secret voting machine report.  MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell hopes to get his hands on an unredacted copy of a secret report detailing alleged vulnerabilities in Dominion Voting Systems equipment, machinery he claims was hacked during the 2020 election.  Attorneys for Lindell shared with the Washington Examiner two filings submitted this month in federal court in Georgia, where there is a long-running lawsuit seeking to get the state to ditch electronic voting machines for hand-marked paper ballots.  Although Lindell is not directly involved in that case, his lawyers argue an assessment done for the plaintiffs by J. Alex Halderman, a computer science professor at the University of Michigan, will help in their fight against Dominion's $1.3 billion defamation suit against MyPillow and Lindell.

Two Colorado County Clerks Sue Secretary of State Jena Griswold.  Two Colorado County Clerks have the data that could end crooked Secretary of State Jena Griswold's career.  The two Republican County Clerks — Elbert County Clerk Dallas Schroeder and Douglas County Clerk Merlin Klotz asked the court on Friday to allow them to compare the data they saved from the 2020 elections to the servers after Secretary of State Griswold altered the machines.  Griswold does not want anyone to examine the voting machines after she had them worked on for some reason?  It is interesting how Democrats have fought EVERY SINGLE audit into the 2020 election?

Florida lawmakers pass first-of-its-kind elections police force:  Office of Election Crimes and Security.  A day after the Florida Senate triggered leftists by passing the Parental Rights in Education bill, the members of the Florida House followed suit by passing their own triggering bill.  Passed in the House on Wednesday, S.B. 524 will create a "15-person Office of Election Crimes and Security within the Department of State" to essentially serve as an election police unit, according to Florida Politics.  The new office will reportedly investigate voter fraud complaints, increase "the penalties on organizations that violate election registration laws from $1,000 to $50,000" and ask "supervisors of elections to maintain voter roll lists annually instead of every two years."  If signed into law by Gov. Ron DeSantis — the bill already passed through the Senate last week — Florida will become the first state in the country to boast its own election fraud police unit.

Pennsylvania's Ballot Battle Should Rattle GOP.  As Pennsylvania's acting secretary of state, Leigh Chapman oversees professional boxing, kickboxing, and wrestling.  But those are hardly the most contentious items on her docket.  As the Keystone State's chief elections officer, Chapman is embroiled in a knock-down, drag-out fight over ballot integrity that has Democrats and Republicans pounding each other sillier than 12th-round rivals.  Chapman and other Democrats consider mass mail-in ballots more precious than the world heavyweight championship.  So, they argued Tuesday before Pennsylvania's Supreme Court.  Pennsylvania's top jurists — five appointed by Democrats, two by Republicans — heard Democrats appeal a lower court ruling Feb. 4 that found no-excuse, mail-in ballots unconstitutional under the supreme law of that land.  Ironically, Democrats defend a Republican-sponsored law.  Act 77 of 2019 created Pennsylvania's mail-in ballots.  That's the problem.

Judge rejects Fox News's bid to toss Smartmatic's $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit.  A judge has allowed a $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit filed by Smartmatic to proceed against Fox News.  Justice David Cohen of the New York Supreme Court nixed claims in the lawsuit against Fox News host Jeanine Pirro and "Kraken" attorney Sidney Powell but denied Fox News's motion to dismiss, determining that the plaintiffs "pleaded facts sufficient" to allow a jury to weigh whether the network acted with malice or reckless disregard for the truth.

Texas Elections Official [intends] to Resign After Thousands of Uncounted Ballots [were] Found.  The Harris County elections commissioner is resigning after 10,000 uncounted ballots for last week's primary were discovered, according to an announcement posted online on Monday [3/7/2022].  "Today I am submitting my resignation, effective July 1," Isabel Longoria said in the announcement.  "I think this date ensures that there is a presiding officer during the May and June elections and allows the election commission the time they need to find a replacement.  I remain committed to the office and its mission and hope to aid in defeating harmful rhetoric to ensure successful elections in the future."  It's not clear exactly why Longoria was resigning.  The Harris County Republican Party in Texas recently filed a lawsuit against the commissioner after the 10,000 uncounted ballots were discovered.  There were other issues with the primary election, including staffing problems, equipment issues, and longer-than-usual lines, according to local reports.

Texas elections official resigns for incompetence resulting in uncounted votes, Republican lawsuit.  A Texas county elections administrator resigned Tuesday [3/8/2022] after taking responsibility for an "oversight" that resulted in thousands of uncounted votes.  Isabel Longoria announced her intent to step down from her position as Harris County Elections Administrator during a meeting of the county commissioners.  Her post oversaw the city of Houston and the surrounding county, which happens to be Texas' most populous.  "Today I am submitting my resignation effective July 1," Longoria said, suggesting it allowed for oversight to continue through the May runoff elections and provided ample time for a replacement to be appointed.

The Editor says...
Ordinarily, if one acknowledges incompetence and resigns, it isn't necessary to give three months of advance notice.

County GOP calls for election administrator to be fired after 10,000 mail-in ballots are "found" days past election.  The first primary election day for the 2022 midterm elections did not go well in Texas, at least in the state's largest county.  Harris County Elections Administrator Isabel Longoria reported that 10,000 mail-in ballots were not properly counted in last week's primary election in Houston.  Calls for her to be fired continue to grow.  The position of Elections Administrator didn't exist in Harris County, the third-largest county in the country, until 2020.  The position was created by Harris County Commissioners Court on a 3-2 party-line vote.  At the time, Republicans criticized the move, arguing that it would create a new powerful role with no accountability to voters.  And, here we are.  Voters still don't have final numbers in some primary races one week later.

Tucker dissects 'shocking' new report on Wisconsin election, vows it's just the beginning.  Fox News host Tucker Carlson sat down with the head of the taxpayer-funded Wisconsin election probe, Michael Gableman, on Monday [3/7/2022] to discuss rampant voter fraud that allegedly took place in the 2020 presidential election via nursing homes, bribery, and funds doled out by Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg.  "So, you learn a lot about what the people in charge care about by what they won't allow you to say.  And at the very top of the list of the things you're not allowed to say... can literally get you silenced and censored for saying... is that there was voter fraud in the last election, but the fact is there was, and the deeper you dig, the more you find," Carlson opened the segment by noting.  "The Wisconsin office of Special Counsel has just released its second report on the subject and it's pretty unbelievable.  The report found, among other things, '100 percent voting rates in many nursing homes in Brown, Dane, Kenosha, Milwaukee, and Racine counties.'  Several of these nursing home residents that had voted had been previously declared incompetent," he continued and then introduced Gableman.  [Video clip]

Democrat Controlled Election in Texas' [Most Populous] County Fails to Count 10K Mail-In Ballots.  Election officials in Texas' largest county failed to count approximately 10,000 ballots by election day.  The Democrat-appointed election administrator for Harris County reported 6,000 of the ballots were cast in the Democratic Party primary and 4,000 in the Republican Party Primary.  "As we continue to run through the numerous checks and balances of the tallying process, we identified approximately 10,000 mail-in ballots (6,000 Democratic and 4,000 Republican) that were not added into the original Election Night count," Harris County Election Administrator Isabel Longoria said in a written statement obtained by Breitbart Texas.  "The oversight occurred between the hours of 1 and 4 a.m. as the political parties that make up the Central Count Committee were reviewing ballots."

Michigan failed to properly update voting rolls prior to 2020 election, audit finds.  Michigan voting rolls were not properly updated prior to the November 2020 election, according to an audit released Friday by the Michigan Office of the Auditor General.  The audit of the Bureau of Elections concludes Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson's office did not adhere to state election law by properly updating and reconciling Michigan's qualified voter roll.  This oversight, according to the audit, increased the risk of ineligible voters casting ballots.  Additionally, the audit identified discrepancies and inconsistencies in Benson's statements in defense of her department's internal post-election audits.  "The independent, nonpartisan audit released today shows that the work we have been doing in the Legislature to strengthen our elections is incredibly important," said Rep. Ann Bollin, R-Brighton Township, chairwoman of the House Elections and Ethics Committee, said in a statement.

The Press Quieted Down on Texas Voting Rights Suppression as the Conflicting Results Came In.  For a law that was supposed to trample minority voting rights, Texas minority candidates did rather well in the Texas primary.  It is a constant seen in the media cycles.  Hysterical claims are made for a lengthy period, and as those get proven out by data or by direct evidence — by reality — the hysterics evaporate and so does the story.  There is no flood of follow-up pieces on par with the tsunami of dire consequences in articles and columns.  The journos simply move on to the next promised nefarious event.  This is now playing out regarding the voting rights said to have been trampled in recent months.

Wisconsin Special Counsel Finds 'Widespread Election Fraud' In 2020 Nursing Homes.  "Rampant fraud and abuse occurred statewide at Wisconsin's nursing homes and other residential care facilities," according to the Office of Special Counsel's second interim report filed on March 1 with the Wisconsin Assembly.  That conclusion represents but one of the key findings of election irregularities detailed in the nearly 150-page report — a report that also confirms the conclusion of the Racine County Sheriff's office last fall that fraud occurred at nursing homes in Wisconsin.  Special Counsel Michael Gableman, the retired state Supreme Court justice appointed by the Wisconsin Assembly to investigate integrity concerns about the 2020 election, vetted more than 90 nursing homes in five different counties before concluding there was "widespread election fraud at Wisconsin nursing homes in November of 2020."

Here it is!  'Widespread election fraud' revealed in report.  President Donald Trump has said that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.  In fact, Joe Biden won by narrowly capturing victory in a list of swing states, and dozens of subsequent court cases were dismissed by judges over issues like standing, which mostly didn't address the actual claims involved.  But the establishment's defense to arguments over the legitimacy of the vote count always has been that there's been no "widespread election fraud" found.  Now there has.

Poll Worker Tells Republican Voters They Can Only Vote if They're Voting for Democrats.  As if the corruption of the Democrat party couldn't be any more blatant, people in Texas's largest county had their election plagued with errors, 'glitches' and Democrat operatives like the one in the video above literally telling Republicans they can only vote if they're voting for Democrats.  [Video clip]

More Bombshell Voter Fraud Information Drops From Wisconsin.  Special Counsel Michael Gableman dropped a bombshell report on voter fraud in Wisconsin.  It has now been exposed that voter fraud occurred in nursing home facilities during the 2020 election.  Here is the most despicable example of voter fraud:  [Tweet]

Wisconsin voting probe chief urges Legislature to consider decertifying 2020 election.  The former judge named to investigate Wisconsin's 2020 election declared Tuesday there is enough evidence of voting irregularities for the Legislature to consider decertifying the state's final results declaring Joe Biden the winner.  Retired Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Mike Gableman presented a 136-page report outlining the preliminary results of his probe to the state Assembly, offering evidence of several irregularities including that "most vulnerable" nursing home residents had been defrauded of their votes.  His conclusions followed two major court rulings that declared election rules changes enacted in 2020 — which allowed for ballot drop boxes to be used and voters to skip ID requirements by declaring themselves "indefinitely confined" by COVID — were illegal.  Those rulings call into question tens of thousands of ballots cast in a state where Biden won by less than 21,000 votes.

Wisconsin special counsel bombshell: 91 nursing homes had 95-100% voter turnout in 2020.  The special counsel investigating suspected irregularities in Wisconsin's 2020 election has found that 91 nursing homes in the counties of Milwaukee, Racine, Dane, Kenosha, and Brown had voter turnout rates ranging from 95% to a 100% in 2020 — as compared to overall nationwide participation rates of 67% in 2020 and 60% in 2016.  The nursing home data only reflects voting at the facilities that the special counsel "has been able to vet to this juncture," according to the report compiled by retired state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman for the state Assembly.  "There are more facilities in these counties, and after auditing the votes from other facilities, the above percentages may change."  Last November, the Racine County Sheriff's Office requested that the state attorney general investigate alleged illegal directives issued by the Wisconsin Election Commission to bypass the state's Special Voting Deputy process, under which the clerk of each municipality brings "enough ballots to each residential care facility to vote" and "assist the voters with the voting process."

Bribery, he says.  What are the chances that Mark Zuckerberg is going to be arrested?  I'm guessing zero.
Zuckerbucks declared 'bribery' by special counsel in Wisconsin.  Is the needle finally moving?  Seems the election takeover by Mark Zuckerberg's minions in Wisconsin has now been declared "bribery" by Wisconsin's special counsel, who was appointed to investigate the state's 2020 election. [...] Can you imagine what that must have been like for those officials affected — to see well heeled Zuckerbuck leftists from out of state waltz in and take over local election efforts, arbitrarily changing rules, redoing forms to manipulate results, telling elected officials to [stand down] because they were in charge here?  It would have been like a coup or terrorist attack, a clearly illegal takeover by outside dirtbags who otherwise belonged in jail.  That was hardly all.  The report focuses on the unequal treatment of voting districts, with urban districts getting virtually all the cash and the rest of the state getting nothing.

How South Carolina Took Millions in California Cash to Boost Vote-By-Mail.  South Carolina was not a swing state in November 2020.  Yet, millions of dollars from at least three private entities flowed into the state.  Plenty of reporting has been done on how Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, through the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), flooded county election offices in battlegrounds with cash to subsidize election processes preferred by the outside group.  But in the Palmetto State, counties and even the state government had hands out for more than ZuckBucks — eventually totaling $6.5 million in grants available to be spent as late as Summer 2021.  South Carolina demonstrates how the desire to directly influence election administration by funding preferred election processes is a long-term programmatic goal for left-wing nonprofits.  And unless the practice is banned by legislation, it will continue.

Special Counsel Finds Zuckerberg's Election Millions Violated Bribery Laws in Wisconsin; Leaves it to Assembly to Decertify.  The special counsel who investigated the November 2020 election in Wisconsin, determined in a 135-page report Tuesday that the nearly $9 million in election grants provided to Center for Tech and Civic Life by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, violated a Wisconsin election bribery law.  Special Counsel Michael Gableman, a former Wisconsin Supreme Court justice, was tasked by Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos to investigate the election.  Gableman said in his report that it is up to the Wisconsin Assembly to decide whether the 2020 election results should be decertified.  "This Report is not intended to reanalyze the re-count that occurred in late 2020," he wrote.  "And the purpose of this Report is not to challenge certification of the Presidential election, though in Appendix II we do sketch how that might be done.  Any decisions in that vein must be made by the elected representatives of the people, that is, the Wisconsin Legislature.  Yet it is clear that Wisconsin election officials' unlawful conduct in the 2020 Presidential election casts grave doubt on Wisconsin's 2020 Presidential election certification."

The Wisconsin Office of Special Counsel interim report on the election.  [Thread Reader] ... has some real zingers on issues the press, cable news, and politicians have heretofore declared to have been thoroughly debunked.  Here's a summary of one of the preliminary findings regarding Dominion Voting:  "The Special Counsel reviewed extensive reporting of a Dominion machine failure event in another State.  The OSC was able to identify, through the reports of experts, that the failed machine recorded two anonymous and unauthorized access events from its VPN.  This means, contrary to what Dominion has publicly stated, that at least some machines had access to the internet on election night.  Shortly after the unauthorized access was recorded, the machine failed and was reset, wiping all voting history and forcing that election administrator to rely on unverifiable paper printouts from the failed machine."  And there's more.  Regarding another election system manufacturer, ES&S, the OSC found that several machines were equipped with a 4G wireless modem.  One municipality admitted its machines were connected to the internet on election night.  And ALL machines in Green Bay were connected on election night to a "secret, hidden WiFi access point at the [Grand] Hyatt Hotel, which was the location used by the City of Green Bay on the day of the 2020 Presidential election."  Even more disturbing was the finding that the "WiFi, machines, and ballots were controlled by a single individual who was not a government employee, but an agent of a special interest group operating in Wisconsin."

Wisconsin probe finds 2020 election riddled with nursing home voting fraud.  Intercepted ballots, forged signatures and questionably high voting rates plagued Wisconsin's nursing homes and other long-term care facilities during the 2020 presidential election, a state-appointed investigator said.  In light of the findings, the investigator said, the ballots from those facilities should be audited.  The special counsel's report was issued Tuesday after an examination of 2020 election integrity.  It said Wisconsin officials ditched legal requirements for supervising nursing home ballots during the pandemic, encouraging widespread voter fraud.

How the Left Upended Our Election Laws in 2020.  The integrity of our elections is under assault from Democrats in Washington and left-wing forces across America.  Using the pretext of COVID, a web of well-funded organizations, working with Democrat lawmakers and friendly judges, systematically changed state election laws in 2020.  Cleta Mitchell, who has spent a lifetime fighting for free and fair elections, is calling out the left's tactics and encouraging Americans to take an active role in their local elections.  Mitchell, a senior legal fellow at the Conservative Partnership Institute, leads the Election Integrity Network and hosts a podcast, "Who's Counting?"

Systemic Voting Issues In Pennsylvania County Even More Extensive Than Previously Known.  The video (and audio) hits just keep on coming from Delaware County, Pennsylvania, where a whistleblower secretly taped the aftermath of the chaos from the 2020 presidential election.  Two recent recordings exclusively obtained by The Federalist from a source with knowledge of the recordings provide further evidence that systemic problems plague the large Pennsylvania county.  The newest recordings provide some of the frankest discussion on how bad the behind-the-scenes situation was, with one election worker describing a part of the post-election situation as "abominable" and the attempt to do the impossible — reconcile some precincts' voter sheets — as "a nightmare."  The whistleblower, Regina Miller, began recording conversations involving Delaware County officials after she became concerned with what she saw as a contract worker assisting election employees.  A source familiar with the videos explained that Miller made the recordings as election workers scrambled to find — and in some cases create — documentation in response to a "Right to Know" request that sought copies of the paperwork that would confirm the accuracy of the vote tallies certified for the 2020 election.

Against All Odds, The Real Findings of the Arizona Senate Audit of Maricopa County's Conduct of the 2020 General Election.  When Arizona's Senate President Karen Fann's office received numerous reports of potential voting irregularities from Maricopa County voters after the 2020 election, she took a strong leadership role to investigate, identify and fix reported problems. [...] As the leader of the decision to audit Maricopa County's 2020 election, Fann fought pushback from the majority Republican Board of Supervisors and constant attack by the national and state liberal media.  But the results of the audit report she insisted must be conducted revealed thousands of errors, irregularities, illegal votes, maladministration, sloppiness, and votes cast and counted in violation of state law.  The audit findings are shocking.  In Arizona in 2020, Joe Biden bested Donald Trump by only 10,457 votes.  The Senate audit found 23,444 ballots were from "bad" addresses.  More than 9,000 ballots were returned to election offices than were received by voters, and 5,295 voters appear to have voted in multiple counties.  Among other problems, mistakes and failures to adhere to the Arizona election code.  All totaled, Fann and her audit team found more than 49,500 cases of potential unlawful ballots or fraud — nearly four hundred percent of the vote differential between the two presidential candidates.

Judicial Watch Settles North Carolina Voter Roll Lawsuit After State Removes Over 430,000 Inactive Names From Rolls.  Another huge win for Judicial Watch.  Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch on Thursday announced it settled its lawsuit against North Carolina after it removed over 430,000 inactive names from voter rolls.  Recall, Judicial Watch successfully sued California, Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana and forced them to clean up their dirty voter rolls.

Special Counsel Finds Mark Zuckerberg's Election Money Violated Wisconsin Bribery Laws.  Nearly $9 million in Zuckerberg grant funds directed solely to five Democratic strongholds in Wisconsin violated the state's election code's prohibition on bribery.  That conclusion represents but one of the many troubling findings detailed in the report submitted today by a state-appointed special counsel to the Wisconsin Assembly.  Last August, Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos authorized the Office of Special Counsel, headed by retired state Supreme Court justice Michael Gableman, to investigate concerns about election integrity and the 2020 election.  Gableman delivered an interim report to the state assembly on November 10, 2021. Earlier today, the special counsel provided a second interim report to the state legislative body, noting the report "is final in the sense that it provides a list of recommendations with time for the Legislature to act before the close of its session in March."

Wisconsin Special Counsel Implicates Obama Campaign Manager David Plouffe and ERIC's David Becker in Wisconsin Election Fraud Investigation.  This morning the Wisconsin Assembly Committee on Campaigns and Elections held an informational hearing on the Gableman 2020 Election Report featuring invited speakers Special Councsel and Former Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman and Attorney Eric Kaardal.  Justice Gableman played video of several victims of voter theft.  Several brave Wisconsin families reached out to Gableman and his committee after they discovered someone had voted for their loved one who is in a nursing home.  This happened all over Wisconsin.

Documents and Testimonies Reveal Massive Fraud in 2020 Election in Wisconsin, Special Counsel Calls for Decertification.  It looks like Obama, Zuckerberg, Soros, and many many Democrats were all engaged in rigging the 2020 election in order to get the puppet Fake Pres.  Joe Biden in office.  Now we know with 100% certainty that Joe Biden not only lost in Wisconsin, Georgia and Arizona, but he, Obama, Zuckerberg, Soros and many others were all linked to the crime of the century.  Special counsel Michael Gableman has officially called for the decertification of the 2020 election in Wisconsin after revealing irrefutable evidence showing it was in fact rigged by 'Zuck Bucks' and Obama's campaign manager, along with Biden and Soros's people.  [Video clip]

Arizona woman sentenced for voting in dead father's name.  An Arizona woman was sentenced Monday to probation after admitting she illegally cast a mail-in ballot in her dead father's name.  Marcia Johnson, 70, cast her own ballot and one for her father, Kenneth Johnson, who had died in April 2012.  His name had remained on the state's voter rolls and election officials mailed ballots each election to his post office box.

Arizona Senate study estimates 200k ballots [were] counted in 2020 with mismatched signatures.  A study of Maricopa County's mail ballots in Arizona's 2020 presidential election estimates that more than 200,000 ballots with mismatched signatures were counted without being reviewed, or "cured" — more than eight times the 25,000 signature mismatches requiring curing acknowledged by the county.  Commissioned by the Arizona State Senate, the signature verification pilot study was conducted by Shiva Ayyadurai's Election Systems Integrity Institute, which released its final report to the public on Tuesday.  Ayyadurai is an engineer and entrpreneur with four degrees from MIT who bills himself as the inventor of email, a claim which critics have alleged is exaggerated.  Of the 1,911,918 early voting mail ballots that Maricopa County received and counted in the 2020 presidential election, the county reported that 25,000, or 1.3%, had signature mismatches that required curing, but only 587 (2.3%) of those were confirmed mismatched signatures.

Dallas County Democrats win bid to keep polls open longer after winter closures.  Polling locations in Dallas County will stay open longer Friday after a group of Democratic candidates requested a temporary restraining order because several sites were closed this week for winter weather.  Those locations will remain open until 10 p.m. instead of closing at 7 p.m., after a judge's ruling.  Andrew Sommerman, a candidate for county Commissioners Court District 2, filed the request on behalf of himself and four other candidates for judge:  Maria Aceves, Dan Patterson, Dominique Torres Williams and Nancy Mulder.  The Dallas County Democratic Party also joined the filing.

'Those Who Make Peaceful Revolution Impossible Will Make Violent Revolution Inevitable'.  Every single American with a functioning brain knows that Donald Trump won the election in 2020 and that everyone from Mark Zuckerberg to the mainstream media to the Democrat party to Never Trumper "conservatives" conspired to steal it.  And they did. [...] Beyond the personal attacks, the left used COVID as a cover for stealing the 2020 election.  From near-universal mail-in balloting to unconstitutional voting rule changes to outside money using COVID as a cover to infiltrate voting bureaucracies, COVID was the fig leaf behind which Democrats could hide as they ran their coup d'état.  Then, in the midst of the COVID hysteria, violent riots broke out across the country in the summer of 2020.  This too was an opportunity to help destroy Trump and the left took full advantage of it; indeed, in many cases, outright supporting it.

Vermont Towns Open Voting to Foreign Nationals, Offering Ballots in Foreign Languages.  A pair of Vermont towns are ready for their first local elections where foreign nationals will be allowed to vote, even offering ballots in foreign languages.  Montpelier, the state's capital, and Winooski, located just outside of Burlington, are set to hold local elections where, for the first time, foreign nationals will be able to vote.  In Montpelier, city officials said one foreign national has registered to vote while about eight foreign nationals have registered in Winooski.  In addition, Winooski is ensuring that non-English speaking foreign nationals have ballots in their native languages and is doing community outreach to get as many foreign nationals registered to vote as possible.

Lady Failing at Filling Form Deemed Voter Suppression in Texas By ABC.  Early voting in Texas has been going on for a week but Monday's [2/21/2022] Good Morning America on ABC highlighted a supposed voter suppression case where they complained it took the woman "28 days" to cast her ballot.  It was the case of Pam Gaskin, the same woman CNN highlighted last week with the same convoluted, conflicting, and now-evolving story about how Republicans were suppressing her right to vote because she filled out the application incorrectly.  "[M]ore than a dozen states across the country have already passed laws making it tougher for people to vote.  But we're getting the test of that in Texas where one voter says it took her 28 days before she could finally cast her ballot," announced congressional correspondent Rachel Scott at that top of the segment while failing to disclose Gaskin's history as an elections activist, which she bragged about on CNN.  Complete with emotional music in the background, Scott told the story of Gaskin and her husband (who wasn't mentioned in the CNN report): [...]

The Editor says...
And of course the alleged victim in this case is black.  The news media, as far as I know, has never pointed to an eligible white person who was unable to vote.  This says something about the news media's attitude toward blacks.

Doctrine Touting State Legislature Supremacy in Elections Administration Gains Traction in Court Cases.  A constitutional doctrine resuscitated during legal challenges before the U.S. Supreme Court in the wake of Florida's disputed 2000 election is finding traction in post-2020 election integrity lawsuits. [...] The doctrine is rooted in parts of two articles of the U.S. Constitution.  Article I declares state legislatures have authority to determine "times, places and manners of holding elections for Senators and Representatives."  Article II states "each state shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors" in presidential and vice-presidential elections.  The doctrine has been a buzz among conservatives since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a Florida Supreme Court ruling that cited "suffrage principles" in the state's Constitution to allow manual recounts in the disputed 2000 election.  In throwing out the ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court determined that when the state legislature enacted the law governing presidential electors, it was "not acting solely under the authority given it by the people of the state, but by virtue of a direct grant of authority made under Article II of the United States Constitution."

In Texas, New Law Is Stopping the Steal.  Voter integrity is essential.  It's popular.  It's why for all the Democrats' yelling about how this, that, and the other is racist regarding new voter laws, these laws aren't going anywhere. [...] The high rejection rate should raise eyebrows.  How many invalid ballots were counted in 2020?  Who knows?  Democrats have destroyed that evidence, but the real steal centered on the battleground states where Democratic secretaries of state unilaterally and illegally altered the voting laws without the consent of the state legislatures.  Michigan and Pennsylvania specifically saw this occur in 2020.  Are we shocked to learn that the state legislatures there are majority Republican?  No way would these tweaks be passed, so Democrats did what they do best — cheat.

Systemic Voting Issues In Pennsylvania County Even More Extensive Than Previously Known.  The video (and audio) hits just keep on coming from Delaware County, Pennsylvania, where a whistleblower secretly taped the aftermath of the chaos from the 2020 presidential election.  Two recent recordings exclusively obtained by The Federalist from a source with knowledge of the recordings provide further evidence that systemic problems plague the large Pennsylvania county.  The newest recordings provide some of the frankest discussion on how bad the behind-the-scenes situation was, with one election worker describing a part of the post-election situation as "abominable" and the attempt to do the impossible — reconcile some precincts' voter sheets — as "a nightmare."  The whistleblower, Regina Miller, began recording conversations involving Delaware County officials after she became concerned with what she saw as a contract worker assisting election employees.  A source familiar with the videos explained that Miller made the recordings as election workers scrambled to find — and in some cases create — documentation in response to a "Right to Know" request that sought copies of the paperwork that would confirm the accuracy of the vote tallies certified for the 2020 election.

Fighting the Good Fight for Election Integrity in Franklin, Tennessee.  It wasn't about Donald Trump.  It was about saving our Republic, the speakers kept repeating, and that was true.  The perspective at the Election Integrity Symposium given by Tennessee Stands in Franklin, Tennessee, on Thursday evening was aimed at the future, at making sure we had transparent and fair elections in our country going forward — something we arguably, and in a way astonishingly, never have had.  Just who did win, for example, the presidential election of 1960 (Nixon versus JFK)?  In truth, nobody knows for sure, to this day.  Bizarre as it sounds, most of our elections seem to a great degree decided by news media that "call" the elections at certain points from their "decision rooms."  Remember the consternation when Fox "called" Arizona for Biden?  Many doubt to this day the accuracy of that "decision."

Memphis Black Lives Matter Founder Sentenced to 6 Years for Illegally Voting.  A Black Lives Matter organizer in Memphis was sentenced to prison after she was convicted for illegally registering to vote.  Pamela Moses, described by some outlets as the founder of a BLM chapter in Memphis, was sentenced to six years in prison last week after she was convicted in November 2021 for illegally registering to vote in Tennessee, according to prosecutors.  Moses had felony convictions in 2015, making her ineligible to register to vote.  Judge Mark Ward, while handing down her prison sentence, accused her of making false statements to the probation department to register to vote.  "You tricked the probation department into giving you documents saying you were off probation," Ward said in court last week.  "After you were convicted of a felony in 2015, you voted six times as a convicted felon."

It's time for Democrats to accept it.  GOP voting reforms won't hinder access to the ballot.  Democrats have been caterwauling about Republican-backed changes to state voting laws, often characterizing them as an assault on democracy.  A new analysis by a respected political scientist shows how specious those claims really are.  The analysis, written by Emory professor Alan I. Abramowitz for Sabato's Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia, examined key elements of voting laws that GOP state legislatures have targeted, such as early in-person voting, the use of drop boxes for mail ballots and voter ID requirements.  His study attempted to see if differences between states with respect to those items, among others, had a measurable effect on turnout or President Biden's margins in those states.

Can the Democrats Undermine the Midterms?  In late January, President Biden told a national TV audience that he was not prepared to say that the coming midterm elections would be legitimate.  This startling admission was quickly walked back, but it shone a white-hot spotlight on Democrat efforts in Congress to federalize elections.  The 2022 election promises to be one of significant change in the dynamic in Washington D.C. despite the efforts of Democrats to do more than just cast doubts on the election's integrity.  The Democrats have a demonstrated history of trying to make elections as one-sided as possible and thus enthrone themselves for perpetuity as they have done in cities throughout the country.  The Democrats and their allies in Big Tech and the media regularly work to make this happen by subverting election integrity laws like requiring an ID, pushing for unregulated and unmonitored mail-in voting, providing support for one-sided ballot harvesting initiatives, repealing or fighting laws intended to allow states to revise voter rolls, and pouring enormous sums of money into Democrat districts to pay for election officials and ballot drop boxes.

Democrat Group Sues to Strike Down GOP Redistricting Plan in Kansas.  Just four days after the Republican-controlled Kansas legislature approved the state's 2022 congressional reapportionment map, Democrats are asking a county court to strike it down.  The complaint was filed on Feb. 14 in Wyandotte County District Court by attorneys from the Grissom Miller Law Firm of Kansas City, Missouri, and the Elias Law Group of Washington D.C. on behalf of several Kansas residents and activist group Loud Light.  The Elias Law Group is headed by Democrat election lawyer and strategist Marc Elias, who served as attorney for presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in 2016.  Elias is widely credited for engineering election law changes in key swing states that helped Democrats in the 2020 election, and he has challenged redistricting plans in Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, and other states in the 2022 election cycle.

Michigan secretary of state requests inquiry into possible voting equipment breach.  Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson asked the state's attorney general and state police to investigate reports an "unnamed third party" gained unauthorized access to voting technology in one county.  At least one third party allegedly gained access to tabulation machines and data drives in Richfield Township and Roscommon County, Benson's office said in a statement Thursday.  If it did, the equipment would be required to be replaced with taxpayer's money, her statement warned.

Is the Biden Admin Trying to Hide a Report on Dominion Voting Systems?  The Biden administration doesn't want a judge to release a report on Dominion Voting Systems equipment in Georgia, claiming that doing so would "threaten election security," Just The News reports.  The report was written by the Director of the University of Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society, J. Alex Halderman.  Halderman was previously profiled in a video by the New York Times back in 2018 when he demonstrated to a group of students how easy it would be to rig a voting machine.  In the 2018 video, Halderman demonstrated how voting machines are "dangerous" and "obsolete" by holding a mock election with University of Michigan students.  Halderman had previously testified before Congress, warning that computerized voting is "vulnerable to sabotage" and "cyberattacks that could change votes."

Arizona Scandal:  House Speaker Bowers Uses Technical Maneuver to Ensure Defeat of Sweeping Election Integrity Bill.  State Rep. John Fillmore (R-Apache Junction) introduced one of the most sweeping election integrity bills this session, but it appears all but doomed due to a rare procedural maneuver deliberately made to stop it by House Speaker Rusty Bowers (R-Mesa). Bowers scheduled all 12 House committees to hear HB 2596, basically guaranteeing it will never reach the floor since some of the committees won't bother to hear it.  "Canvass Queen" Liz Harris, so named after conducting an 11-month long independent grassroots audit of the 2020 election in Maricopa County, told The Arizona Sun Times she was extremely disappointed Bowers did this considering she is certain there was massive fraud.  "From the canvassing I've done, this is what I realized needs to happen," she said.  She explained that other election integrity legislation is composed of single-issue bills which will only fix one area in the elections process, allowing fraud to move to other areas.

New Texas voting rules causing high number of ballot rejections.  Election supervisors in Texas have warned that new stricter voter ID requirements ahead of next month's state governor's primary have already resulted in an uncharacteristically high number of ballot rejections.  Voting rights activists have expressed fears that new laws making access to the vote more difficult — that have been passed in many states across the US by Republicans — will impact Democrat-leaning voters of color.  According to officials in media reports, as many as 40% of roughly 3,600 returned ballots in Harris county, Texas' most populous county that incorporates Houston, have lacked the identification number required under Senate Bill 1, a Republican-sponsored bill designed to tie voters to valid IDs.

The Editor says...
The new laws in Texas are designed to make it more difficult for people to vote twice, or to vote fraudulently, or to vote from the grave, or to vote in more than one precinct, or to vote on behalf of someone else. If you are the person you claim to be, when you show up at a polling place, the new laws will not affect you at all.  Any assertion (such as the one above) that the new laws are intended to make it more difficult for minorities to vote are vicious canards.

No More Fraud Boxes — Big Ruling By Wisconsin Supreme Court.  History shows the reality that former President Donald J. Trump was crushing the 2020 elections, especially in several swing states, well at least until millions of mystery ballots started appearing at ballot processing facilities around 4 AM in PA, WI, GA, AZ, MI.  Universal mail-in ballots plus Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's non-profits unmonitored drop boxes were identified as 2 of the sources used by the left to insert the illegal votes.  The Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) issued memos to Wisconsin clerks in March and August of 2020 encouraging their use, stating that absentee ballots do not need to be mailed by the voter or delivered by the voter, in person, to the municipal clerk but instead could be dropped into a dropbox.  According to WEC, ballot drop boxes can be unstaffed, temporary, or permanent.

RNC Sues Key Pennsylvania County for Absentee Ballot Transparency.  The Republican National Committee (RNC) is suing Bucks County, Pennsylvania, to push for more transparency when it comes to the county's processes for counting absentee ballots, Breitbart News has learned exclusively.  The lawsuit represents an escalation by the GOP in an effort to establish uniformity in the Keystone State when it comes to the process of absentee ballot counting, with several counties in the state still resisting transparency and reform efforts.

Biden Administration Urges Court Not to Allow Release of 'Secret Report' on Dominion Voting Machines.  Top officials at a U.S. federal cybersecurity agency are urging a judge not to authorize at this time the release of a report that analyzes Dominion Voting Systems equipment in Georgia, arguing doing so could assist hackers trying to "undermine election security."  The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) was recently provided an unredacted copy of the report, which was prepared by J. Alex Halderman, director of the University of Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society.  The report discusses "potential vulnerabilities in Dominion ImageCast X ballot marking devices," or electronic voting devices, according to the government.  While CISA supports public disclosure of any vulnerabilities and associated mitigation measures with election equipment, allowing the release of the report at this point "increases the risk that malicious actors may be able to exploit any vulnerabilities and threaten election security," government lawyers said in a Feb. 10 filing in the case.

Feds oppose immediate release of voting-machines security report.  A federal cybersecurity agency is reviewing a report that alleges security vulnerabilities in voting machines used by Georgia and other states and says the document shouldn't be made public until the agency has had time to assess and mitigate potential risks.  The report has been under seal since July in federal court in Atlanta, part of a long-running lawsuit challenging Georgia's voting machines.  Its author, J. Alex Halderman, said in sworn declarations filed publicly with the court that he examined the Dominion Voting Systems machines for 12 weeks and identified "multiple severe security flaws" that would allow bad actors to install malicious software.

Feds warn against untimely release of Georgia voting machine 'secret report'.  A federal agency is reviewing a so-called secret report on alleged vulnerabilities in Georgia's voting equipment.  The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, an arm of the Homeland Security Department, is assessing the fresh doubts being cast on the security of Dominion Voting Systems and is asking a judge to hold off on ordering the release of the report authored by Alex Halderman, a computer science professor at the University of Michigan, which could have implications for election technology used in states across the country.  "Such premature disclosure increases the risk that malicious actors may be able to exploit any vulnerabilities and threaten election security," the CISA said in a court filing Thursday.  Halderman, an expert for plaintiffs in a long-running lawsuit seeking to get Georgia to ditch electronic voting machines in favor of hand-marked paper ballots, was granted access to Dominion voting equipment in Fulton County for 12 weeks and produced a 25,000-word "secret report" that has been filed under seal, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

If DC Fears Trump, He Deserves Four More Years.  A helpless public watched in real time as the ruling class used the ruse of a COVID-1984 pandemic to usher in anonymous and unsecured mass mail-in balloting in battleground states (often in explicit violation of state statutory law) just in time for the 2020 election.  When that same helpless public found it unfathomably difficult to believe that a sitting president could win over ten million new votes during re-election yet somehow still lose (a feat never before seen in American history, save for President Grover Cleveland, who lost re-election in 1888 amid allegations of fraud against his opponent, Benjamin Harrison, and who subsequently returned to the White House four years later in a landslide) or that a lifetime Washington relic who campaigned from his basement in Delaware could legitimately receive more votes than Obama, Trump, or any other past president with an energetic and loyal army of voters, those doubters were ridiculed as "sore losers" and "conspiracy theorists."

What Are They Hiding?  Democrats Argue Voting Machines Too Fragile to Inspect — If Investigators Touch Them They WIll Need to Be Replaced.  Joe Biden got 81 million votes.  It really happened.  Democrats and their media lackeys are so certain of this that they will not allow anyone to inspect the voting machines.  In Arizona Democrat Secretary of State Katie Hobbs argued that Maricopa County would be forced to replace their Dominion voting machines if they were inspected by investigators.  The machines were so delicate that they can never be audited. [...] In Pennsylvania the state Supreme Court of liberal activists stepped in at the last minute and delayed an inspection of the Fulton County, Pennsylvania voting machines.  The audit is still delayed by the state Supreme Court.  Democrats are absolutely terrified that a reputable audit team may inspect the county's Dominion voting machines.  And in Michigan the radical Attorney General hid the audit of the Dominion machines in Antrim County where 6,000 votes were mysteriously flipped from Trump to Joe Biden.

Stacey Abrams and Voter Suppression.  Most conservatives are well aware of the Democrat's Alinsky tactic of accusing Republicans of whatever criminal, immoral, or unethical activities they themselves are engaged in.  [Numerous examples omitted for brevity.]  But there's a variation of Alinsky's projection ploy that's even more insidious:  accuse Republicans who dare secure the ballot box against illegal votes of engaging in voter suppression.  The Democrat's field general this tactic is their former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams.  Abrams lost a close 2018 election to Brian Kemp and promptly accused Kemp of suppressing the black vote despite the fact that blacks voted in significantly higher percentages than whites.  She continues, without evidence, to insist that that election was stolen from her and the same Democrats who are now accusing Trump of threatening our democracy still claim she is the rightful governor of Georgia.  Abrams, who was neck deep in tax and credit card debt, has turned her voter suppression scam into a lucrative position as head of a non-profit, the ironically named Fair Fight Action, that raked in tens of millions from leftist billionaires and major corporations terrified of crossing the woke mob.

The United States Government Is "Desperate to Hide the Truth".  The institutions of the United States government cannot ever admit:
  [#1]   What they did in the 2016 election with illegal campaign surveillance of political opposition.  How they weaponized the administrative state.  How the intelligence agencies within the executive branch coordinated with legislative branch intelligence oversight (SSCI) and Gang of Eight members to target, then isolate, marginalize and remove Donald J Trump.  How the executive and legislative branches then manipulated the judicial branch to support their activity (FISA Courts).
  [#2]   That Robert Mueller's appointment was intended exclusively to cover up what took place in 2016; then to assist the effort in outlasting any internal review until Trump could be removed.  The entire DC establishment know this to be true.  Not a single voice ever discusses it publicly.  (Why?)

Whistleblower Videos Show Systemic Issues With Pennsylvania Elections.  According to a new whistleblower video obtained by The Federalist, 80 percent of Delaware County, Pennsylvania precincts lacked a valid chain of custody for the provisional ballots cast in the November 2020 election.  This video and two others just obtained by The Federalist provide further evidence that, while officials continue to deny that irregularities occurred during the last presidential election, there were widespread violations of the election code in the large Pennsylvania county, followed by efforts to cover up those problems.  Regina Miller, a contract worker assisting Delaware County officials, secretly filmed the videos as she helped election employees gather material in response to a "Right to Know Request" that sought documentation to confirm the election results certified by the county.

Group Sues Louisiana for Denying Access to Voter Files After State Rebukes Democrat-Dominated Data Service.  An electoral integrity group is suing Louisiana in federal court for refusing to allow inspection of voter list maintenance records, including information the state receives from the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC), a controversial data-matching service accused of inaccuracy.  Republican Kyle Ardoin, Louisiana's secretary of state, is violating the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) by not allowing the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) access to the voter documents, including data provided by ERIC, according to PILF.  PILF, a nonprofit, describes itself as "the nation's only public interest law firm dedicated wholly to election integrity."  PILF "exists to assist states and others to aid the cause of election integrity and fight against lawlessness in American elections."

And the Band Played On.  The political landscape of this current pandemic has no precedent.  From the outset, doors were inexplicably shut to known treatments and therapies and critical surgeries were sidelined while thousands died.  A citizenry panicked by sniffles and coughs lined up for imprecise testing that inflated cases by misdiagnosing and assimilating common seasonal ailments into the running COVID tally. [...] COVID appeared just in time for the 2020 presidential campaign.  Sensing favorable circumstances, Democrats turned polling sites into super spreaders and went to work clogging state and federal courts with hundreds of lawsuits challenging longstanding state voting protocols.  They blocked the cleansing of rolls that resurrected the dead to vote, mailed out tens of millions of unsolicited paper ballots, extended ballot counting for days, and carried out vote dumps in the dead of Election Night that created arithmetically impossible tallies and reversed political fortunes.  This was the shadow campaign that shielded a basement candidate who couldn't be trusted in public without a chaperone and an audio kill switch.

Activist who founded Black Lives Matter Memphis is sentenced to six years in prison for illegally voting.  The founder of Black Lives Matter Memphis has been sentenced to six years in prison for illegally registering to vote after pleading guilty to felonies in 2015.  Pamela Moses, 44, voted illegally six times since she pleaded guilty to evidence tampering, forgery, perjury, stalking and theft under $500, seven years ago.  The activist is now claiming she was unaware she was still on probation, which lasted seven years, and believed her voting rights were reinstated in 2019.  'I did not falsify anything.  All I did was try to get my rights to vote back the way the people at the election commission told me and the way the clerk did,' she said at her sentencing hearing on January 26.

Supreme Court sides with GOP in Alabama election map case.  The Supreme Court on Monday [2/7/2022] put on hold a lower court ruling that Alabama must draw new congressional districts before the 2022 elections, boosting Republican chances to hold six of the state's seven seats in the House of Representatives.  The court's action, by a 5-4 vote, means the upcoming elections will be conducted under a map drawn by Alabama's Republican-controlled legislature that contains one majority-Black district, represented by a Black Democrat, in a state in which more than a quarter of the population is Black.

The Democrat Plan to Steal the 2022 Election Was Built Around Obama's Corrupt AG's Nationwide Redistricting Effort Knowing Republicans Would Fold.  America is in a terrible position.  Lying corrupt Obama holdovers are running the country based on a stolen election with millions of invalid ballots.  They get away with what they can because it seems that only a few Republicans are pushing back.  The Democrats expect to win the 2022 midterms.  You see this in everything they do.  We were warned.  If they got away with stealing the 2020 Election they weren't going to stop, they never will.  On top of this, as they perfect their cheating ways with elections, they contaminated the census by not allowing for the census to record only those in the country legally, and now they use these fraudulent results to determine the number of congressional seats in each state.  Their plan was to use lawfare to steal more seats across the country in redistricting efforts while Republicans cower or pretend they don't see what's going on.

Has the US Government Declared War on Its Citizens?  We have hundred-million-dollar lotteries in America that sell tickets at every hole-in-the-wall gas station from the middle of the Nevada desert to the remote Maine wilderness, and when winning jackpot numbers come up, winning ticket-holders are identified almost immediately.  Yet a national political election arrives, and it takes days, if not weeks, for the nation to discover the winner.  Only third-world banana republics and the United States of America conduct elections with so few identification requirements for voters and so few security protocols for safeguarding ballots.  The logical result is that only 20% of Americans are "very confident" that election outcomes are legitimate.  A reasonable person might expect national politicians to comprehend the widely held belief that vote fraud is prevalent as a debilitating vulnerability for both American national security and domestic political stability.  Government officials, however, are more offended by Americans questioning election outcomes than they are by the elimination of secret ballots, the transformation of voting day into voting season, the imposition of mass mail-in balloting by judicial fiat, the construction of parking lot drop boxes for anonymous and unsecured ballot-stuffing, late-night ballot dumps, private contractors hired by tech companies to manipulate elections, or truckloads of votes simply disappearing.

Washington State Governor's Plot to Criminalize Election Fraud Complaints Moves Forward.  In 2020, Democrat governors and their underlings used COVID-19 as the excuse to change election laws, many times using emergency powers sans legislature, expand mail-in balloting, and remove what few security measures remained, such as signature matching.  Recently, a state court ruled that Pennsylvania election changes by fiat were illegal under the state constitution.  These aren't lies.  They happened.  They may have changed the results of the election.  The take over of local elections offices by Mark Zuckerberg's "Zuck Bucks" also continues to fuel complaints.  But Washington's Gov. Inslee believes people seeking or holding elective office who complain about election chicanery should be punished for holding those wrong-thoughts.  They should be silenced and maybe even jailed for up to a year.  In Inslee's bill, loudly complaining about election fraud that accused complainers knew was bogus, as adjudged by a "jury" according to the governor, could lead to violence.  The person who uttered the words should go to jail, he reasons.  Inslee has never said these words in response to the Antifa and BLM riots during the election of 2016 and 2017 to depose the democratically elected Donald Trump.

East Texas Democrat Official Pleads Guilty to Voter Fraud.  Four years after an East Texas Democrat won a close primary election, he admitted to illegal mail-ballot harvesting in the race.  But he won't face any jail time.  In fact, he's running for re-election.  Gregg County Commissioner Shannon Brown pleaded guilty this week to one count of misdemeanor voter fraud and was sentenced to a year of probation.  Brown was originally charged with 23 felonies.  In 2018, Brown edged out his Democrat primary opponent by just five votes.  Soon after, local officials announced a voter fraud complaint had been filed, alleging Brown's campaign had organized a scheme to illegally harvest mail-in ballots by falsely claiming voters had a disability.

J6 Hysteria Is How Media And Other Democrats Are Avoiding Accountability For Their Rigging Of The 2020 Election.  The 2020 presidential election was unlike any in American history. [...] But it is interesting and telling how little the media and other Democrats are willing to talk about efforts to rig the election.  With the exception of a single Time Magazine article admitting there was a "conspiracy" by a "a well-funded cabal of powerful people" who worked to "change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information," to create a "revolution in how people vote," corporate media have largely kept silent about or downplayed how the establishment secured its victory for their man Joe Biden.  Time's article didn't come out until February 4, 2021, but in the months prior to its publication, Republicans grew increasingly concerned that the rigging it described had, in fact, happened.

Statement by Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the United States of America.  Highly respected Dinesh D'Souza, working together with Catherine Engelbrecht of True the Vote, just released a trailer to their new movie, "2,000 Mules," that shows the world exactly how the 2020 Presidential Election was Rigged and Stolen.  The movie exposes the lies of the Democrats, RINOs, and Fake News who say it was the "most secure election in history."  It was, perhaps, the least secure in history.  The ballot box was stuffed, and stuffed like never before — and it's all on video.  Ballots were trafficked and sold in a massive operation in each Swing State.

Black Americans Sue New York City for 'Racially Discriminatory' Policy Allowing Foreign Nationals to Vote.  Black Americans in New York City, New York, have filed a lawsuit against the city for giving municipal voting rights to nearly a million foreign nationals.  As Breitbart News has chronicled, Democrats on the 51-member New York City Council approved a plan last month that allows more than 800,000 foreign nationals with green cards, visas, and work permits the opportunity to vote in citywide elections so long as they have resided in the city for at least 30 consecutive days.  Now, four black Americans and New York City residents — Phyllis Coachman, Deroy Murdock, Katherine James, and Anthony Gilhuys — have filed suit with the help of the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF).

New Evidence Proves Democrats Stole Overseas Military Ballots from Michigan, Georgia and Now Arizona.  Yet more proof that Democrats are doing all they can to destroy the publics trust in the voting system.  Now we have evidence they even stole ballots from our military members who are stationed overseas in order to keep Trump from winning.  Paul Harris:  The UOCAVA is the Uniform Overseas Civilian Absentee Voting Act ballot.  That ballot is sent out to men and women who work overseas and the people who work overseas to get a chance to work in the election.  This is what a ballot looks like that goes out, an 11 1/2 X 19 ballot.  When I opened up a box of ballots this is what a ballot looks like that's a UOCAVA ballot.  You know what that is?  It's an 8 1/2 X 11 sheet of copy paper.  Paul Harris continued:  "Did you all know that our ballots come back like this from our overseas people?  Did any of you know [this]?  It is such a sham that I had people everyday at my table taking pictures of these ballots that were scanned down.  It took my team three complete days to count all of the UOCAVA ballots.

Election Fraud Deniers Will Have a Hard Time Shrugging Off This 'Never-Before-Seen Surveillance Video'.  It is still unknown how much fraud was carried out in the 2020 election.  But the narrative needs to end that the answer is "none."  Despite the widespread blanket denials from the mainstream media, surveillance video has bubbled up showing that 'mules' illicitly dumped ballots into Zuckerberg "drop boxes."  The film contains startling video evidence of "2,000 mules" dropping off what appears to be thousands of illicit ballots into the drop boxes.  The details of how the evidence was gathered is recounted by researcher Kanekoa on his Substack page.  "This week surveillance footage emerged of an illegal ballot harvesting operation that took place during the 2020 election," the article notes.  "True The Vote has spent the last year collecting more than 27 terabytes of geospatial and temporal data — a total of 10 trillion cell phone pings — between Oct. 1 and Nov. 6 in targeted areas in Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Texas."

We Need A Sarbanes-Oxley Law For Voter Rolls.  Numbers mean things.  Public companies use numbers to convey the health, growth, and promise of their firm.  If their numbers are fake, don't reconcile, or have hidden data not conveyed to the investors, CEOs and CFOs can and do go to prison.  Why should election rolls meet a lesser standard?  Why do election rolls fail to reconcile internally?  Why do election rolls have hundreds to thousands of dead people or voters whose address is a church or RV park?  Why are citizens forced to pay $12,500, $30,000, or $5,000 for a single copy of their election roll?  Why do most states (likely all) have hundreds to thousands of "voters" on their rolls born on the same day before World War I?  Why do some states allow voters to use a prison as their mailing address?  Voter rolls must be given the same scrutiny as public companies' financial statements.  They are not — it's not even close.

3 Plead Out in California Election Fraud Case as Councilman's Trial Proceeds.  Three of six defendants have pleaded no contest to charges in an alleged voter fraud conspiracy in California that may have flipped an election hinging on one vote.  Los Angeles County Superior Court also will hold a hearing Wednesday in a separate civil case based on the same Compton city election to set a trial date.  In a June runoff election, Compton City Council member Isaac Galvan was reelected to the seat representing District 2, beating fellow Democrat Andre Spicer by 855 votes to 854 in the nonpartisan contest.  In August, prosecutors charged Galvan, 34, with election fraud and bribery.

Democratic Senators Release Draft Bill Changing Electoral Vote Count Rules.  Democratic Sens. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Dick Durbin of Illinois, and Independent Maine Sen. Angus King released a bill on Tuesday that would change the process by which senators can object to electoral votes.  The Electoral Count Modernization Act raises the threshold necessary for members of Congress to sustain an objection to a state's electoral vote slate, from one representative and one senator to one-third of each chamber.  The proposal also limits the ability of members to object to an electoral slate by requiring them to explain why the slate "is not the valid certificate of identification of electors" or an elector is constitutionally ineligible to serve in that capacity.  The bill also pushes back the date by which states must certify their electoral slate, to allow for recounts and court challenges, and places responsibility for identifying the correct electors with the governor.

Pennsylvania Court Strikes Down Mail-In Voting Law As Unconstitutional.  On Friday [1/28/2022], a Pennsylvania court declared the state's statute authorizing no-excuse mail-in voting was unconstitutional.  Within hours, Pennsylvania officials filed a notice of appeal with the state Supreme Court, putting on hold the lower court decision and thereby leaving in place the vote-by-mail option until the state's high court rules.  With Pennsylvania Supreme Court justices elected on a partisan ticket and Democrats currently holding a 5-2 majority on the state's high court, Democrats are predicting the no-excuse mail-in voting law will be upheld.  That forecast seems accurate given the hyper-partisan approach to legal analysis seen since the 2020 election.  It's unfortunate because yesterday's opinion in McLinko v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania reached the proper conclusion as a matter of constitutional analysis and controlling precedent.  The McLinko case consisted of two lawsuits consolidated by the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court.  Both cases challenged the constitutionality of no-excuse mail-in voting.

Shocking Testimony Reveals Democrats Were Stealing Overseas and Military Ballots from Michigan, Georgia and Now Arizona Too.  Last Monday the Arizona Senate reconvened.  During a senate session, the discussion turned to the UOCAVA voters — the voters covered under the Uniform Overseas Civilian Absentee Voting Act.  These are the men and women who are serving their country in the military and send in a mail-in vote from where they are stationed outside the country. [...] During the hearing, Paul Harris, a Maricopa resident and veteran in corporate executive management, spoke to the committee.  Harris was a manager during the audit of the Maricopa County audit of the 2020 election ballots.

Georgia Officials Tampered With And Deleted Hours Of Ballot Box Video Before It Was Released To Investigators.  Garland Favorito and VoterGA held a press conference last Thursday at 10 AM Eastern to discuss the lack of chain of custody documentation on the state's ballot drop-box implementation.  According to Garland and VoterGA at least 100,000 Georgia ballots lack the adequate chain of custody documents from the 2020 election.  The number is likely much larger than this.  Garland Favorito told The Gateway Pundit his investigation corroborates the True the Vote ballot box fraud investigation in the state of Georgia.  Garland told us they still have no idea how many ballots came from drop boxes in 2020.  That number has not been provided by the state!  This is absolutely shocking that that number was never released.

Dinesh D'Souza Releases Movie Trailer for "2000 Mules" Exposing Ballot Traffickers Who Stole the 2020 Election.  True the Vote has been working with Dinesh D'Souza to create a bombshell movie that uses footage they obtained of ballot boxes in key states across America to steal the election in 2020.  100 Percent Fed Up reports — Using geo-tracking devices, True the Vote was able to take footage from drop boxes across America in key states like Georgia and others to track over 2,000 'mules" wearing gloves and disguises to stuff ballot boxes.

2000 Mules, The Background of the 2020 Election Fraud.  CTH continues to be cautious with measured expectations around this story, because a thoroughly corrupt and politically compromised DOJ has possessed all of this information for almost a year.  There will be a response.  Likely a massive, coordinated and weaponized response from the totality of the most politically corrupt DC system in our nation's history, every branch, and their aligned ideologues outside government.  [Video clip]  Catherine Engelbrecht is a genuine national hero, and her organization True The Vote (TTV) will be known in history long after these decades are passed.  Long-term readers of CTH also know we fully support Englebrecht and her team, we always have.

What to make of Biden secretly transporting illegal aliens into the US.  Two days ago, the New York Post reported the following:  "Under cover of darkness, every night the federal government is transporting illegal migrants as fast as it can away from the border on secret charter flights into unsuspecting communities around the country.  Officials have lied and obstructed the few journalists who have tried to reveal the truth."  This has been an old Democrat project.  They begin by inviting illegal immigrants either explicitly or implicitly through various public forums.  They then allow numerous illegal aliens into the country by opening up the border.  Since these migrants are uneducated, unskilled, and impoverished they depend on government welfare for their survival.  This makes them a permanent underclass who the Democrats think will be perennially subservient to them.  Many of these migrants eventually are transferred to locations where Republicans traditionally win.  The Democrats know they can never convince conservatives to vote for their radical left-wing policies.  So they drown the impact of these resident voters by giving voting rights to a sufficient number of migrants to facilitate a Democrat win.  Soon they plan to have a permanent presence in the House, Senate, and the White House.

40% Of Pennsylvania Ballots In The 2020 Election Were Unconstitutiona.  Attorney Wally Zimolong walks Steve Bannon through the facts of his lawsuit in Pennsylvania, in which the court today agreed that the law of Pennsylvania does not allow "no excuse" mail-in balloting.  This ruling said the attenpt to allow such mail-in balloting was invalid from the start, meaning before the 2020 election.  [Video clip]

Swing State Courts Strengthen Election Integrity In Major Rulings Ahead Of 2022 Midterms.  Several state courts issued major election integrity rulings this week that could have a profound effect on elections in swing states ahead of the 2022 midterms.  The Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court ruled on Friday that the state's "no-excuse" mail-in voting law, also known as Act 77, violates the state's Constitution which requires in-person voting for most people who don't fit the state's list of exceptions.  In a 3-2 decision, the court's conservative majority determined that the expansion of mail-in voting put ballots in the hands of constitutionally ineligible people.  While the court acknowledged that the law made voting "more convenient," the judges noted that legislators can't just ignore the Pennsylvania Constitution to get what they want.

Election Law That Helped Make Joe Biden President Struck Down as Unconstitutional.  A five-judge panel has ruled that Pennsylvania's universal mail-in voting law violates the state's constitution, an argument conservatives have been making since it was enacted in 2019. That election law went on to play a pivotal role in delivering the state for Joe Biden in 2020, who trailed on Election Night, but pulled ahead as more and more mail-in votes were counted.  The court's decision essentially made the case that any law to make mail-in ballots universal versus only being allowed in defined circumstances needed to come via an amendment to the state's constitution, given the current language.  That was the same case former President Donald Trump's legal team attempted to make.  Unfortunately, the courts at the time brushed off their challenge.  Now, though it's far too late to change things, there is some vindication happening on that front.

Expert Hacker's 25,000-Word 'Secret Report' Threatens to Uncover Georgia's Real Election Vulnerabilities.  Georgia's elections controversy is being taken to new levels with the revelation that a 25,000-word "secret report" on its voting systems vulnerabilities may soon be released.  The security flaws in Georgia's election system was uncovered by a professor who specializes in election integrity.  A judge may soon make the findings public.  "The vulnerability was first alleged in sealed court documents in July by Alex Halderman, a computer science professor at the University of Michigan," the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported.  "As an expert for plaintiffs in the election security lawsuit, Halderman gained access to Georgia voting equipment for 12 weeks and produced a 25,000-word secret report."  "Halderman found that malicious software could be installed on voting touchscreens so that votes are changed in QR codes printed on paper ballots, which are then scanned to record votes, according to court documents," the report continued.  "QR codes aren't readable by the human eye, and voters have no way to know whether they match the printed text of their choices."

The Big Lie 2024: A Peek Inside the Ruling Elite's Playbook to Kneecap Trump, Purge Military, and Neutralize MAGA.  The American regime is terrified.  They moved heaven and earth to derail Trump's term in office and turn him out after four years.  Now the ruling class faces the very real prospect that, if the 2024 election is remotely fair, he will be swept back into the White House, more powerful than ever before.  That is, if the 2024 election is fair.  America's governing class and its media apparatchiks have repeatedly labeled Trump's complaints about the 2020 election "the Big Lie."  But there is a Bigger Lie afoot, one with a much greater bearing on the future.  The Bigger Lie is this:  That the January 6 Capitol incident was an "attempted coup," and that this coup was launched by a wider pro-Trump "anti-democracy" movement (as opposed to the anti-Trump, anti-democracy movement known as the FBI).  This movement, the Bigger Lies goes, is a "danger to our democracy" and must be hunted down to destruction.  In the name of this Bigger Lie, America's governing class of academics, security staters, elected lawmakers, and media propagandists are preparing to sweep away what remains of America's democratic process.  Their goal:  To render the 2024 election null, with a preordained outcome that poses no danger to the ruling elite's wishes.  And the planning for this revolution is happening right out in public.

Pennsylvania voting fight escalates as court strikes down mail ballot law.  A Pennsylvania state court on Friday [1/28/2022] struck down the law allowing any voter to cast a ballot by mail, handing a victory to Republican lawmakers who sought to curtail the practice amid former President Donald Trump's attacks on mail voting.  A panel of judges from Pennsylvania's commonwealth court ruled that Act 77 — which passed out of the state legislature with bipartisan support and was signed by Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf in 2019 — violated the state constitution.

Pennsylvania Court Rules Act 77 of 2019 Unconstitutional — Mail-In Voting on Hold.  A statewide court in Pennsylvania ruled on Friday the expansive two-year-old mail-in voting is unconstitutional.  According to a Commonwealth Court filing released Friday, Act 77 which allows residents to vote by mail in Pennsylvania, violates Article VII, Section 1 of the Pennsylvania constitution.

Court ruling puts mail-in voting on hold in Pennsylvania.  A statewide court says Pennsylvania's expansive two-year-old mail-in voting law is unconstitutional, agreeing with challenges by Republicans who soured on mail-in voting after then-President Donald Trump began baselessly attacking it as rife with fraud in 2020's campaign.  According to a Commonwealth Court filing released Friday [1/28/2022], the court ruled that Act 77, allowing residents to vote by mail in Pennsylvania, violates Article VII, Section 1 of the Pennsylvania constitution.  The Commonwealth Court denied the Pa.  Department of State acting secretary's application for summary relief. [...] Friday's decision by a five-judge Commonwealth Court panel could be put on hold immediately by an appeal from Gov. Tom Wolf's administration to the state Supreme Court.

There's a reason why Democrats have long controlled poll places.  One of the things that's bewildered me for almost 20 years is why poll workers are so often Democrats.  I assumed it was because Republicans were too passive and disinterested to get involved at the ground level.  This matters because, as both Stalin and Biden said, what ultimately matters is who counts the votes — and the next closest thing to counting the votes is being a poll worker.  I just learned that I owe Republicans an apology.  It turns out that, in 1982, the RNC entered into a consent decree that prohibited it from aggressively enlisting poll workers, and that consent decree only fully ended last year.  The consent decree isn't a secret.  It's simply that I hadn't paid attention to it before and, I'm betting, many of you hadn't either.

Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers on Recalling Electors:  "If Wisconsin Can Do It, Arizona Should Have Been FIRST".  Legislators in Arizona and Wisconsin are pushing to decertify their states' fraudulent 2020 elections with promised resolutions to reclaim the Presidential electors.  The Gateway Pundit reported that the Wisconsin State Assembly voted to move forward Rep. Ramthun's resolution to reclaim Wisconsin's 10 electors for US President and Vice President who were certified under fraudulent purposes.  Arizona's full forensic audit of Maricopa County's 2020 election found evidence of elections law violations and hundreds of thousands of fraudulent votes.  All evidence was delivered to the Arizona Attorney General, and some legislators are ready to decertify Arizona.  In the meantime, Arizona awaits the results of Attorney General Mark Brnovich's criminal investigation.

Florida's Governor Makes Smart Proposal to Go After Election Crimes.  So Corrupt Media Attacks Him.  Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has a good idea with his budget proposal to create an "election crimes agency" that would "investigate election crimes and irregularities and make referrals for further legal action directly to a statewide prosecutor." Florida should implement it, and other states should follow.  In fact, state legislators should make sure that a statewide prosecutor's office has jurisdiction to prosecute all such election cases, especially when local prosecutors fail to act.  Ensuring the integrity of elections and protecting voters from fraud is simply too important to leave the investigation and prosecution of crimes that subvert elections to the whims of local prosecutors.  All too often, they lack the training or aren't interested in pursuing such cases.  This problem has gotten worse with the election of rogue prosecutors with funding from the radical left, such as Monique Worrell and predecessor Aramis Ayala in Florida's Orange and Osceola counties.  Such prosecutors aren't interested in actively prosecuting many serious crimes, including election fraud.

Tribal Morality:  The Difference Between Election Fraud And Voter Suppression.  When conservatives started worrying about election fraud before the 2020 election and complained about it after, they were told they were anti-democratic.  It's a whole different story in 2022 now that Democrats are insisting that the upcoming elections are a recipe for voter suppression.  The Democrat party and its operatives in the federal government have been outraged for over a year when they contemplate how anyone in his right mind could claim that the 2020 elections were fraudulent, despite voluminous and well-documented evidence suggesting massive and coordinated fraud and cheating during those elections.  Democrats keep claiming, without proof, that there has been no "significant" election fraud in 2020 and insisting that anyone who wants to claim there was must prove it or be silenced.  Then, of course, they cut off all efforts to show that proof.  Most good faith attempts before judges to prove widespread fraud and cheating were either dismissed before the elections because it was "too early to sue" or, after the elections, because it was "too late to sue," or the plaintiffs were dismissed for lack of standing.

Wisconsin Assembly Sends Election Shockwaves by Voting to Withdraw 10 Biden Electors.  The Wisconsin Assembly has voted in the affirmative to pass a privileged resolution to withdraw the state's 10 electors who were slated to have cast their votes for Joe Biden in the 2020 election.  The announcement of the privileged resolution, as well as the present members unanimous vote to pass it, can be viewed below.  [Video clip]  The privileged resolution to withdraw the Biden electors will now proceed to the Wisconsin Rules Committee in the Wisconsin Assembly and to the Wisconsin Senate for immediate confirmation.

Questioning election integrity is not graded on a curve.  During the final debate of the 2016 election, moderator Chris Wallace asked candidate Donald Trump, "Do you make the commitment that you will absolutely accept the results of this election?"  Trump's response?  "I will look at it at the time."  In other words, "It depends."  If that sounds familiar, it's the answer President Joe Biden gave when asked about the 2022 midterm elections. [...] Biden rested his assertion on the passage of two partisan election bills, one of which House Democrats passed in 2019 as a messaging bill for base supporters that had zero input from Republicans.  The other would reinstate entirely unnecessary preclearance rules from the Voting Rights Act.  The Supreme Court struck down the provisions in 2013, and no reasonable argument exists to reinstate them.

When Will People Finally See the Obvious?  Consider the number of things the Left has been willing to lie to the American people about in recent years. [...] So why has this leap of faithlessness not jumped over to the obvious facts of the 2020 election?  Those currently in power have a clear track record of covering up the truth on major news stories, but we're somehow supposed to believe what they say about the 2020 election? [...] In 2020, however, there was a problem with not one, but with half a dozen states, that oddly enough comprised only the swing states.  Those states all stopped counting within hours of each other, and this while Trump was either in the lead or surging.  The count stopped cold, and suddenly (for some reason) we were told it would take days, not hours, to pick things up again to finish the tallies.  Over the next few days, then, tens of thousands of ballots mysteriously arrived and unbelievably — perhaps you could say magically — they were overwhelmingly slated for Joe Biden.  And any irregularities that emerged in voting machines, whether a surge or general error, always favored Biden.  Nothing in the plus column for Trump in any of the states he needed to reach 270.

Suddenly, It's No Longer 'Deeply Dangerous' To Talk About Rigged Elections.  It wasn't long ago that we were told that President Donald Trump's questioning the legitimacy of the election wasn't just unfounded, but a serious threat to the future of the nation.  As one commentator put it, by raising the specter of election fraud, Trump was "sowing doubt not just about the 2020 election, but whether America's voting system — the foundation of American democracy — is sound ... In a democracy, where governing power is rooted in the consent of the governed, this is deeply dangerous."  Yet here is President Joe Biden, predicting that the next election can't be trusted, based on far less evidence than Trump had.  And the press is celebrating him for it.

Your Right To Vote Doesn't Include A Right To Vote From Your Couch.  There is a right to vote.  There is no right to sloth.  There is no right to sit on your hands all year and then have a ballot automatically appear in your mailbox.  There is no right to mark your ballot at your leisure up to two weeks before the election and then hand it off to someone else to turn in to election officials.  There is no right to wait until the afternoon of election day and then saunter into any random precinct, register to vote, then immediately cast a ballot without bothering to bring a photo identification.  And there is no right to commit armed robbery, distribute drugs, or steal millions from hedge funds, and then the moment you step outside of prison demand society allow you a say in governance equal to that of law-abiding citizens.  Yet in pushing for passage of the so-called Freedom to Vote Act, Democrats and the left-leaning press framed the bill as protecting the "right to vote."

N.J. bans police at polling stations in new law advocates say prevents voter intimidation.  New Jersey has banned police officers from lingering around polling stations and ballot drop boxes on election days under a new law that advocates argued was needed to protect against voter intimidation.  Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy signed the Democratic-sponsored bill into law earlier in the week after it passed the Democratic-controlled state Legislature mostly along party lines.  It says both plain-clothed or uniformed police need to keep at least 100 feet from polling stations or drop boxes.  The legislation was born out of events that occurred more than four decades ago, when the Republican National Committee amid a gubernatorial race that year between Republican Tom Kean and Democrat Jim Florio established the so-called Ballot Security Task Force.  The stated mission of the group, which consisted of police officers, was to prevent voter fraud and secure the election.

The Editor says...
Normal people welcome the police, and are not intimidated by them.  There is only one reason someone would object to the presence of police at a polling place.

It's Still Timely And Necessary To Get The 2020 Election Right.  A solid majority of Americans know that the 2020 election was fraudulent.  That's a big problem for a country with a representative government, one in which the leaders are supposed to represent the will of the people.  We're a nation of laws ostensibly flowing from a Constitution that sets out explicit limitations on the federal government's powers and protects a variety of citizens' rights upon which said government cannot infringe.  To the degree that a significant majority of citizens feel that the leader of this government was not constitutionally elected, that's a problem.  For all its importance, our Constitution is nothing more than a piece of paper.  It doesn't make laws.  It doesn't have an army.  It's not the police.  It's just words on paper.  It functions because Americans have confidence in its words as the foundation for the laws of our country and the guideposts governing the actions of those who actually control the army and the police and write the laws.  When that confidence is shaken, society's foundation is shaken.

Did over 100,000 people older than 124 years vote in Wisconsin?  If you've been wondering about the extent of voter fraud in America, we may be seeing a staggering amount of either fraud or grotesque negligence in Wisconsin voter rolls.  A review of the state's voter roles showed that 569,277 voters registered on January 1, 1918.  Of that number, 20% of these people, all of whom must be at least 124 years old, voted last November.  Biden "won" in Wisconsin by 20,682 votes. [...] Roughly two weeks ago, Jay Valentine wrote about the extent of fraud he and his team have discovered as they've uploaded voter rolls (which often had corrupted data that seemed deliberately intended to keep information opaque) into Valentine's system.  Once the information for any given state was loaded and sorted, it invariably revealed rather surprising information in both red and blue states.  Among other things, in one red state, there were "4,300 people over 100 years old on their rolls.  Some were 121.  Those were the kids.  The really old ones were almost 2,000 years old, and there were a bunch of them — and they voted."

Eric Adams May Well Force The Federalization Of Elections.  Today Americans can feel relief and gladness.  The Senate put to rest the "Freedom to Vote:  John R. Lewis Act."  Much has been written regarding all the bad ideas contained in this bill; [...] Some Democrats are already gearing up to continue the fight for its passage.  New York City Mayor Eric Adams may have just thrown those plans into disarray.  In fact, though not the first location to allow non-citizens to participate in voting, his notoriety as the mayor of America's largest city has brought the issue to the fore.  Maryland, Vermont, and California all have jurisdictions in which some form of noncitizen voting is permitted.  It's being seriously considered in others.  Mayor Adams recently approved it for NYC.  Now is the time for conservatives to take a good hard look at federalizing elections, from an America First perspective, and not with just a knee-jerk no reaction.

ERIC Investigation, Part 2: The Largest U.S. Counties Removed Only ZERO to TWO Ineligible Voters From Their Voter Rolls the Last 4 Years.  On Thursday [1/20/2022] The Gateway Pundit revealed Democrats and leftists have fought ferociously to prevent the cleanup of State voter registration rolls.  Recognizing a potential niche, left-wing activists created ERIC to clean voter rolls their way, using their rules.  So in 2012 the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) was formed as a membership organization primarily for blue States.  ERIC is essentially a left wing voter registration drive disguised as voter roll clean up.  But it's been gaining traction in Red States too.  Originally funded by the Soros Open Society, it is now responsible for cleaning the voter rolls in 31 States, plus D.C.  A top election official from each member State is appointed a seat on the ERIC Board or as an Officer, all unpaid positions.

Elections Expert Reveals Over 550,000 Registered Voters In Wisconsin Have a Registration Date of 1/1/1918 — 115,252 of Them VOTED in 2020.  On Wednesday, the Wisconsin Assembly held another election integrity hearing to present evidence of voter fraud and irregularities that have been found in their investigation of the rigged 2020 election.  And just like last month's election hearing, they dropped some serious bombshells.  Yesterday's hearing built on those findings and presented more questions for the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC), which has failed to answer previous questions on the 2020 election.  They did however respond to the reported 119,283 active voters who have been registered for over 100 years, but their weak response just didn't cut it.

Assembly Speaker Robin Vos disciplines GOP lawmaker who is the most vocal denier of 2020 election outcome.  The Republican leader of the state Assembly on Thursday [1/20/2022] placed sanctions on one of his members who has for more than a year falsely claimed former President Trump won the 2020 election in Wisconsin and has proposed legislation to pull back Wisconsin's electoral votes, which is impossible.  Assembly Speaker Robin Vos stripped Rep. Timothy Ramthun of Campbellsport of his only staffer after Ramthun falsely accused Vos of signing a deal with attorneys for former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to authorize ballot drop boxes, according to Vos's office.

The Editor says...
If I were the editor of jsonline.com, I'd be very careful about making rash pronouncements about the validity of Mr. Ramthun's claims, especially since he's not the only person disputing the outcome of the 2020 election.

Fact-Checking 3 Claims at Democrats' 'Voter Suppression' Hearing.  The day after Senate Democrats failed to change the chamber's rules to pass legislation nationalizing election laws, House Democrats used a hearing to push a "voter suppression" narrative against Republicans.  A House Judiciary Committee panel heard from experts Thursday [1/20/2022], and individual members sounded off.  Senate Democrats attempted and failed Wednesday night to scrap the filibuster rule, which requires 60 votes out of 100 to end debate and proceed to a vote on legislation.  Democrats sought to change the Senate rules to pass the Freedom to Vote Act, a scaled-down version of a bill known as HR 1.  The legislation would create national laws for automatic voter registration, universal mail-in voting, new redistricting laws, and campaign finance laws.

Garland Favorito says the Pro-China RINO George Sec. of State is Behind the 2020 Georgia Election Coverup.  The evidence of corruption in several states across America have already been discovered and exposed.  The leftist Democrat controlled media has simply lied and gaslighted the public into believing none of it is real, citing moronic reasons like 'they have never audited an election before, [therefore] they can't be right' (in regards to Arizona).  Despite the fact they found tens of thousands of ballots were faked.  FAR more than needed for Trump to win.  Now, we have proof Georgia is no different, except the fact the Republican governor who is a Chinese puppet, also helped Democrats so Trump would lose.  [Video clip]

Pennsylvania's Secretary of State, Dominion, and Democrat Senators Beg PA Supreme Court to Stop Investigation of Fulton County Voting Machines.  The corrupt Pennsylvania Secretary of State, Dominion Voting Machines, and now the Democrats in the Pennsylvania Senate all desperately want to end the investigation of the voting machines in Fulton County.  Today they dropped nearly 750 pages of garbage arguments and made their plea in front of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.  Remember this:  As an international auditor who performed hundreds of audits around the world, I have never seen or heard about an auditee refusing to be audited.  I have certainly never experienced an auditee take me to court to prevent an audit from taking place.  The fact that the state of Pennsylvania and Dominion Voting Machines are trying to prevent an investigation of these machines in Fulton County raises more red flags than are raised in a CCP parade.

The Media Is Already Having a Meltdown as Texas Proves Its New Voting Laws Work.  The voting laws implemented in Texas were always going to be a huge problem for Democrats.  So much so that Texas Democrats staged a walk-out and fled the state to Washington, D.C., where they did nothing but embarrass themselves and spread the COVID-19 virus.  In fact, the entire stunt was really just a promotion for the "For the People Act," a Democrat drawn-up plan that would seize power from states to run their own elections, and put it in the hands of the federal government.  This would, more or less, keep Democrats in complete and total power for the next few hundred years, or until the populace removed them by force.  But now, the voting laws put in place by Texas are already having the effect intended:  keeping the elections secure.

State Senator Wendy Rogers Speaks At AZ Trump Rally:  "I Am A Yes Vote To Decertify".  President Trump held a rally on Saturday in Florence, Arizona, with candidates he endorsed in the 2022 midterm.  Thousands of patriots attended President Trump's first rally of 2022, and millions more watched online.  The Gateway Pundit reported that police had to turn people away because the venue was too full.  The crowd size is more proof that the Arizona 2020 presidential election was stolen from President Trump.  The full forensic audit of Maricopa County's 2020 Election provided more than enough evidence that President Trump won Arizona, and investigations in other counties are still ongoing.

Biden Officials Defy Critical Civil Rights Law.  Rather than assuring the right for Black people to vote, Biden's so-called voting rights bills have only one real purpose.  They are all designed to allow enough illegal voting to ensure permanent Democrat victories in every race from President down to the Director of Political Payoffs in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana.  For example, the Biden-backed bills outlaw voter ID.  That would be a huge help to continue the voting fraud career of the Miami man who admitted in a TV news interview he voted seventeen times in the 2000 Bush-Gore race.  Biden's bill would also outlaw any voter ID for mail-in ballots.  That would help repeat the 2008 election fraud where all 120 ballots mailed to patients in an Ohio nursing home were completed in the same handwriting with the same mauve-colored ink.  Some of the names in the signatures were even misspelled!  Of course, the ballots all voted the straight Democrat ticket.  Ballot stuffers used to crawl thru cemeteries gathering names from tombstones to obtain large blocks of straight Democrat voters.  Now the Ohio Dems have a better scheme.  They catch older, often-addled voters while they are still in nursing homes!

Biden's Attack On Voting Rights Far Surpasses Trump's Election Claims.  Democrats and the leftist media continue to champion the House's sham investigation into the events of January 6, 2021, with news breaking just yesterday that the illegally constituted committee had subpoenaed Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis, and others.  Yet, if these January 6 truthers genuinely believed that election-related rhetoric caused the capitol riots and represent a real threat to our republic, they would turn their attention to the current White House and to their own Grand Poohbah.  In one week alone, President Biden eclipsed everything Donald Trump and his supporters said about the validity of the 2020 election.  By framing his false claims of "voter suppression" and "election subversion" as Jim Crow 2.0, our commander in chief has guaranteed a divided America.  The only remaining question is whether he has also guaranteed a violent America.

The Continuing Saga of Corruption in the 2020 Election.  In an embarrassing rejection of anything remotely related to smart political optics, Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi decided to shill for the federalization of elections to ensure equity and inclusion at the ballot box while standing in front of two women of color, standing behind her, their faces and voices muzzled by masks.  Just for fun rather than because it's relevant to the rest of the piece, here's that video.  Because what an absolutely spectacular failure of messaging.  [Tweet]  What is relevant to the subject of the rest of this piece is the attempt by Democrats to codify into federal law the seriously sketchy — and questionably legal — things they did in states to tilt the election to Joe Biden.

Fighters Are Uncovering 2020 Election Ugliness in Michigan.  Michigan grassroots conservatives continue in their efforts to bring to light the malfeasance, fraud, and violation of Michigan election law that occurred in the 2020 election, particularly in Detroit.  They are continually reminded by mainstream media and the Michigan secretary of state that the 2020 election was the most secure in history.  The observations and sworn testimonies of many citizens do not support this notion.  Using COVID as the excuse, the secretary of state, Jocelyn Benson, mailed out unrequested absentee ballot applications.  What authority did she have?  The Michigan Court of Appeals ruled that she did have authority under state law and the Michigan constitution.  But Judge Patrick Meter, in a dissenting opinion, said that she "was not expressly granted the authority to send unsolicited absentee voter applications by the Legislature under state law."  It was a stretch to assume that because of the passage of Proposal 3 in Michigan in 2018, allowing for no-excuse absentee voting, the secretary of state had the right to take it a step farther and mail out millions of unsolicited absentee ballot applications.  This provided low-hanging fruit for would-be ballot-harvesters and stuffers.  She also allowed a partisan organization, Rock the Vote, to funnel new registrations into the Qualified Voter File (QVF).

Video Shows Pennsylvania Official Admitting Election Laws Were Broken In 2020.  Regina Miller, a contract worker for the large Pennsylvania county, filmed the video of the April 7, 2021 Zoom meeting, which involved voting officials discussing plans for the upcoming elections, according to sources familiar with the recording.  The video began with Perrone, who, according to a lawsuit filed against her, other Delaware County officials, and the county, served as a project manager for the county, saying they would "talk about that off-line" — with the "that" not specified.  The remainder of the clip, however, gave some clues, with Perrone saying she had a brief conversation with "Jim," "and this time it's much different than last time because we're going to have them sign oaths.  There're going to be W4s and we need them to sign something allowing somebody else to pick up.  So, we're going to actually follow the law fully this time," Perrone ended with a laugh.

Texas Dems work around election integrity law as they mail out "hundreds of thousands" of mail-in ballots.  The Texas Legislature passed SB1 which ushers in election integrity reforms in 2021 and Governor Abbott signed it into law.  Texas Democrats now complain that voter suppression is happening in the form of the number of rejections of mail-in ballot applications.  Texas lawmakers would not have had to pass election integrity reforms if the rookie Harris County Clerk, a young and aggressive Democrat, had not decided to use the coronavirus pandemic as an excuse to create new ways of voting in the 2020 elections.  It began when he announced that mail-in ballot applications would be mailed to every registered voter in Harris County — more than 2.4 million — which is against Texas election law.  He was quickly stopped by court order.  Other actions were taken by his office which had never been done before and was outside of election law, such as twenty-four-hour voting and drive-thru voting, as well as an increase of drop boxes for ballots that were frequently left unattended.  Lawmakers in Austin passed legislation that makes election law uniform across the state and prevents local officials from going rogue in pursuit of their political agenda.

Texas county rejects half of mail-in ballot applications amid new voter restrictions.  Election officials in the Texas county that includes the state capital, Austin, have rejected about half of applications for mail-in ballots, following new voting restrictions brought in by Republicans.  The voter identification rules have led to the rejection of about half of the 700 mail-in ballots requested in Travis county for primary elections in March, according to the county's clerk.  The denied ballots in Travis county follow a similar trend across Texas, with officials in Harris county, which includes the city of Houston, and Bexar county, which includes San Antonio, also turning down a substantial number of mail-in ballot applications.

Wisconsin Judge Rules Ballot Drop Boxes Used in 2020 Election Were Illegal.  A judge in the state of Wisconsin ruled on Thursday [1/13/2022] that the use of ballot boxes in the 2020 election was, in fact, illegal.  Joe Biden was declared the winner over Donald Trump in the state by 20,682 votes.  Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Michael Bohren issued the decision in a lawsuit that had been filed on behalf of two voters by the Wisconsin Institute of Law & Liberty (WILL). WILL argued that the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) had unilaterally issued guidance to election clerks, authorizing the use of ballot collection boxes, in contradiction of state law.  "The guidance from the Wisconsin Elections Commission on absentee ballot drop boxes was unlawful.  There are just two legal methods to cast an absentee ballot in Wisconsin: through the mail or in-person at a clerk's office.  And voters must return their own ballots," commented WILL Deputy Counsel Luke Berg.  "We are pleased the court made this clear, providing Wisconsin voters with certainty for forthcoming elections."

Judge rules absentee ballot drop boxes illegal in Wisconsin, regulators must retract guidance.  A Wisconsin judge has ruled that the absentee ballot drop boxes widely deployed during the 2020 election are not allowed under state law, a decision that could dramatically impact voting ahead of the swing state's midterm elections.  Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Michael Bohren ordered on Thursday the Wisconsin Elections Commission to retract its instructions to election officials on how to use drop boxes.  Bohren declared that the WEC had overstepped its authority in issuing the guidance in the first place.  Bohren called the WEC's guidance a "major policy decision that alter[s] how our absentee ballot process operates," that was significant enough that it should have required approval by the Legislature.

Biden's Big Elections Lie.  [Scroll down]  Biden's argument is predicated on the idea that anyone who continues to support the legislative filibuster — a Senate rule the president defended for nearly 50 years — or voter ID laws, or time restrictions on mail-in ballots, or consistent hours for early voting, or bans on ballot harvesting, is no better than Bull Connor.  "Do you want to be on the side of Dr. King or George Wallace?" was the false choice offered by a man who repeatedly praised Wallace, and other segregationists, early in his career.  The president suggested that anyone opposing the Democrats' voting rights bill was not only a bigot but a seditious "domestic" enemy of the United States — a designation that now probably includes six Democratic senators, if not more.

It's Not Just Manchin and Sinema.  Anyone who can legally vote can vote.  No legislation that the Republicans are pushing is depriving one person of the right to vote.  What they deal with are voter integrity issues like having voter ID or ballot harvesting — that's what Democrats don't want because those measures help to prevent fraud.  As I noted over the weekend, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) claimed election integrity bills were a "legislative continuation of Jan. 6."  But while she said pushed that insanity, Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) gave the game away, admitting that purpose was a federal takeover of elections, claiming that the "federal elections cannot be left up to the states, should not be left up to the states."  It's all about control.

[The] GOP's Old Guard [is] Out Of Touch With Their Voters On Election Integrity.  n Tuesday, President Joe Biden gave a speech asserting that people who oppose his plan for a federal takeover of elections are domestic enemies and racists.  "Do you want to be on the side of John Lewis or Bull Connor?  Do you want to be on the side of Abraham Lincoln or Jefferson Davis?" Biden asked in his speech falsely claiming that the "right to vote" was in doubt throughout the country.  Biden is lobbying to end the Senate's legislative filibuster in order to push through his plan for a radical takeover of elections.  The election bill would unconstitutionally empower the federal government to control state election procedures, and help make permanent the decreased election safeguards that caused so many problems throughout the country in 2020.

Democrats Block Plan to Remove Foreign Nationals from Voter Rolls.  House Democrats this week blocked a plan that would have required states to remove foreign nationals from voter rolls.  On Wednesday [1/12/2022], Democrats voted down an amendment by Rep. Rodney Davis (R-IL) that would have kicked likely hundreds, and potentially thousands, of foreign nationals off state voter rolls.  The amendment would have been tacked onto the Democrats' "Freedom to Vote:  John R. Lewis Act" which seeks to federalize all local and state elections with prohibitions on requiring photo identification when voting by mail and weakens current requirements that mandate states routinely clean their voter rolls.

Anyone-can-vote madness hits NYC, serving up yet another far-left victory.  Routine definitions of the word "citizen" include such phrases as a "person who legally belongs to a country and has the rights and protection of that country" and a person "who owes allegiance to a government and is entitled to protection from it."  The common point is the transaction — a citizen gives something and gets something, as does the government.  One of those rights that has universally distinguished citizens from noncitizens is the right to vote.  Unfortunately, we can now add that distinction to history's trash heap thanks to the far left's war on the nation's culture and legal systems.  The decision by New York's City Council to allow more than 800,000 noncitizen immigrants to vote in municipal elections is a watershed moment for the left's goal of erasing standards and merit in American life.  In this case, the compact between rights and responsibilities is severed, with only the rights remaining to the immigrants who are relieved of any responsibilities to the city and the other 8 million inhabitants.

What Are Elections Supposed to Do?  The disputes over the 2020 election demonstrate a real weakness in the system.  The procedures, records, and structures we have in place do not permit a timely audit of most states' presidential elections.  Previous elections were saved by larger margins in more states.  In all but the closest elections, a rotten precinct in Atlanta or Philadelphia wouldn't change the outcome.  That was not the case in 2020. In fact, a tiny sliver of votes, obtained late at night in Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Arizona put Biden over the top.  Before the recounts and legal challenges were complete, the media and most of the establishment began to insist that Trump was obliged to concede.  He did not.  Even after the Electoral College spoke, a good swath of his supporters refused to concede Biden's victory, other than as a practical matter.  Those who breached the Capitol on January 6 were simply the most passionate of the bunch.  But the media and managerial class, with their constant demonization of those protesters, know that they're only the tip of the iceberg.  Approximately 75 percent of Republicans believe there was significant election fraud in 2020.  In maintaining this view, this class believes that these Republicans deprived Biden and the system as a whole of its legitimacy.  This is a problem.

Democrat Poll Watcher Removes Ballots from Trash Meant for Shredding, Returns to Machine Room.  Despite thousands of sworn affidavits across the country from poll watchers and election officials admitting there was widespread fraud in the 2020 election, the mainstream media has done a superb job refusing to show any evidence at all of the people who were openly caught on video running the same ballots through the machines, throwing out Trump votes, joking about switching ballots from Trump to Biden online vids, and even proof showing millions of dead voters and illegal voters, the media ignored all of that in order to brush aside the fact Democrats had to steal the 2020 election to get Crooked Joe Biden in office.  Now, more evidence continues to show Democrats caught on cam cheating.  Here is yet another example of the tens of thousands that are already out there.  This is exactly why the media and Dem's are working so hard to distract you with Jan 6th protests.  They know they were busted, they know they're still getting away with it.  But, they know people are waking up and that terrifies them.  [Video clip]

And Now, We turn Our Attention to Seizing States' Control of Elections & Nullifying Your Vote.  While the news cycle has long been dominated by Covid madness, a bumbling inept leader and ambitious lefts' attempt to turn America into into a retarded version of a soviet union and the resulting chaos, not much attention has been paid to the Democrats former #1 legislative priority that got sidelined in favor of the pandemic craziness.  It wasn't health care, immigration, or taxes.  No, their first legislative priority after the 2018 midterms was grabbing more power by centralizing power over elections in Washington, D.C.  There wasn't going to be another 2016!  What was called 'H.R. 1' was intended to be the first priority of House Democrats, leftist groups, deep-pocketed dark money and those who use, by hook or crook, the election process rules to help win elections, or at least to cause chaos and throw it to the courts.  The original bill is a 571-page dreamscape of wild wishes and federal mandates on states that got some heat when exposed to the public for being the blatant power grab that it is.  Seizing States' Control of Elections.

Lawsuit Reveals Fulton County 2020 Absentee Ballot Results Were Physically Impossible and Files Were Modified.  There are a lot of questions surrounding the events in the State Farm Arena in Fulton County during Election 2020.  All 148,318 absentee ballots were reportedly scanned in Fulton County's ballot processing center at the Arena.  Those ballots processed in the Arena were supposed to be authenticated first.  The voter logs were to be used to identify voters, and then the signatures would be verified.  Separated from their envelopes, the ballots were then to be arranged in batches of 100.  Each batch of ballots was then scanned using a Cannon DR-G2140 high-speed machine [as can be seen in the video from the Arena on Election night.]  The image of every ballot was saved simultaneously.  The Fulton County clerk produced scanned images of absentee ballots as a result of a previous lawsuit.  These images have been made public and are currently under review by a variety of individuals and groups.  An individual examining the data (RonC) spotted something he could not explain.  As the ballot images are scanned, timestamps are recorded in the image files.  The timestamps indicate that the image files were created faster than the capabilities of the scanners.  Often several times faster.

Outrage as Eric Adams Will Allow 800,000 Non-Citizens to Vote in NYC After Election Rule Change.  American citizenship is no longer required to vote in New York City's local elections.  Mayor Eric Adams said Saturday he supports a plan to allow non-citizens to vote in Big Apple municipal contests, saying it was the "best choice," according to the New York Post.  The bill was passed by the City Council last month and took effect Sunday because neither Adams nor former Mayor Bill DeBlasio vetoed it, according to The New York Times.  About 800,000 people who are not U.S. citizens can now vote for New York City mayor, council races, and local ballot propositions.  Although the law is aimed at legal citizens, it also allows gives the vote to participants in the Deferred Action for Childhoods Arrivals program — who were brought to the U.S. illegally as young children.

New York City Sued for Giving Voting Rights to Nearly 1M Foreign Nationals.  The New York State Republican Party, naturalized American citizens, and a Democrat city councilman have filed a lawsuit against New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) over a new policy that gives voting rights to nearly a million foreign nationals.  As Breitbart News has chronicled, Democrats on the 51-member New York City Council approved a plan last month that allows more than 800,000 foreign nationals with green cards, visas, and work permits the opportunity to vote in citywide elections so long as they have resided in the city for at least 30 consecutive days.

When a State's Secretary of State is in on Voter Fraud.  Let's take you through our excellent adventure working with voter integrity groups across the country.  You need to understand their dedication, resilience, and the odds they face when the reddest states' Secretary of State is in on "it."  "It" means they know their voter rolls are replete with phantoms, but they deny it, evade it, some hide it.  Let's go there.  Most people have downloaded a file.  It's easy.  Except if you live in a swing state on the southeast U.S. coast — and the file came from the Secretary of State's office.  When you process the file, it contains about every way of screwing up your search capability.  For instance:  it is supposed to be comma delimited but it isn't.  It has non-ASCII characters embedded.  That means search engines will flail with no result.  It has half quote marks which means there is no end of quote so it will not process.  There are nonsensical control characters throughout the data set.  This is deliberate data sabotage, intended to make it almost impossible for citizens using traditional tools to parse the data paid for with their taxes.

NYC Democrats Grant Voting Rights to Nearly 1 Million Noncitizens.  Up to one million noncitizens living in New York City will have access to the ballot box after Mayor Eric Adams (D) on Sunday approved legislation by the city council to automatically become law.  As Breitbart News reported last November, Adams has always supported the move.  "I believe that New Yorkers should have a say in their government, which is why I have and will continue to support this important legislation," Adams said in a statement Saturday, as seen by the New York Post.

NYC Mayor Adams takes a big step to cheapening American citizenship.  On January 1, New York City's new mayor, Eric Adams, was unsure about whether it was a good idea to sign off on a bill the NYC council passed in December allowing green card holders the right to vote in local elections.  A week passed, though, and Adams' doubts diminished so much that he's now on board with the plan.  Not only will the new policy delete the value of citizenship in New York City, but it's an almost inevitable step towards massive federal election fraud, with non-citizens (800,000 in NYC alone) affecting those elections.  The New York City council passed the "Our City, Our Vote" measure in December. [...] Under the bill, around 800,000 green card holders and recipients of deferred action, will get to vote in municipal elections.  The premise is that, because these people live in the city, they should have a say in how it's run.  But of course, one can say that about anybody living both legally or illegally anywhere, whether a city, state, or country.  And indeed, the identical argument applies to letting such people vote for the president because his acts affect them.

Democratic Governor Calls For Criminalizing "Lying" About Election Results.  For years, I have lamented how the Democratic party has embraced censorship and the criminalization of speech.  I come from a liberal Democratic family in Chicago and the Democratic Party once championed free speech as the defining value of the party.  Democratic politicians now lead calls for censorship to silence their opponents and corporate regulations to protect citizens from dangerous choices in reading material.  The same concerns were raised this week after Washington Gov. Jay Inslee called for the criminalization of "lies" about election results.  Inslee wants to convict people who raise election challenges or allegations.  Such a law would threaten political speech and create a chilling effect for those who want to raise such concerns in contested elections.  Inslee made his comments as part of the Jan. 6th anniversary.  It appears to follow Speaker Nancy Pelosi's directive for Democrats to "preserve the narrative" of that day.

Gov. Inslee proposes bill making it illegal for elected leaders, candidates to spread election fraud lies.  Gov. Jay Inslee proposed new legislation on Thursday [1/6/2022], which would make it a misdemeanor for elected leaders or candidates to spread unfounded allegations of voter fraud.  Speaking on the one-year anniversary of the now-infamous U.S. Capitol riot, Inslee opined that "the threat to our democracy is just as dangerous on January 6, 2022, as it was a year ago."  "I think we do need to do much more than commemorate this day of infamy," he said as part of the Associated Press' 2022 legislative preview.  "I think we need to realize that this is a continuing effort to continue the 'big lie,' to cast doubt on the fundamental workings of our democracy — we simply have to realize the nature of this challenge."

The Editor says...
The candidates and officials will still be able to "spread unfounded allegations" (lie) about anything else, but questioning an obviously stolen election will be strictly forbidden.  This sounds like the easiest way to commit voting fraud:  Cheat all you like, then prohibit any dissent.

There Was No Insurrection But There Was A Coup.  The moment the coup began to reveal itself Americans knew something was amiss.  Many went to bed on November 3rd believing that Trump was leading in enough states to secure an electoral victory, including in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, and Wisconsin.  Strangely, however, while America slept, densely populated Democrat counties like Fulton (Atlanta) in Georgia and Allegheny (Pittsburgh) in Pennsylvania "stopped counting" votes only to "restart" later when Biden suddenly got enough votes to swing the state blue.  Similarly, Philadelphia stopped "reporting" at 1 AM and later announced Biden had won the state.  The morning of the 4th, as cries of fraud came from red areas across the country, the side that cried "election fraud" for four years suddenly fell silent.  Apparently, 2020 had become the "most legitimate election in American history".  Joseph Stalin said, "Those who vote decide nothing.  Those who count the vote decide everything."  That's exactly how we went from being a constitutional republic to a banana republic, but rather than the United Fruit Company or the CIA running the coup, it was Mark Zuckerberg, Democrats, the FBI, and the media.

Peaceful Demands For Secure Elections Do Not Constitute 'Insurrection'.  On the one-year anniversary of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, the corporate media is working overtime to convince the American public that Republicans as a whole stormed the nation's beacon of democracy at the beginning of 2021 and have waged a war on all that is good and decent.  While lunatics and fools did invade the Capitol last January, tens of thousands of Americans peacefully assembled to demand answers from the government about what they believed to be the sloppiest election in which they've ever voted.  Political violence should always be condemned, but a majority of the people present in Washington, D.C., and on the Capitol grounds on Jan. 6 weren't violent.  Yes, hundreds of people stormed the U.S. Capitol in a riot, but tens of thousands of people of all ages, races, backgrounds, and lifestyles gathered together that day at the Save America Rally to protest the Democrats' sleazy election manipulation and hear from President Donald Trump.

Georgia Ballot Trafficking Whistleblower Admits to Making $45,000 for Stuffing Ballot Boxes — Just One of 242 Traffickers.  The Georgia ballot trafficking whistleblower reportedly admitted to making $45,000 for stuffing Georgia ballot boxes from 2 to 5 AM in the morning.  He was just one of 242 alleged ballot traffickers identified by the True the Vote investigation.  There is a possibility of HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of ballots that were stuffed into the ballot boxes in Georgia!  Radio host John Fredericks went on with Steve Bannon on The War Room on Wednesday morning [1/5/2022] after news broke last night that a ballot trafficker had started talking in Georgia after he was paid thousands of dollars for stuffing the ballot boxes in a massive ballot harvesting scheme in Georgia.

Georgia Announces New Investigation Into Suspected 2020 Election Fraud Involving Over 200 Left-wing Activists.  Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is not exactly an ally of former President Donald Trump when it comes to 2020 election fraud.  But on Tuesday, Raffensperger surprised election observers by suddenly announcing an investigation into suspected illegal ballot harvesting.  The election fraud investigation is based on video surveillance footage and geolocation data from the cell phones of over 200 activists that allegedly participated in an illegal ballot harvesting ring involving "drop boxes," also known as "Zuckerberg boxes."  Brad Raffensperger, who is seeking re-election, confirmed the investigation to Just the News, and asserted that he may soon issue subpoenas to secure evidence.  Georgia law "strictly prohibits third-party activists from picking up and delivering ballots on behalf of voters," a tactic called "ballot harvesting," the news website notes.  Left-wing organizers in a number of red states have tried to get the suspect election practice legalized but have run into opposition from the state legislatures and the courts.  The U.S. Supreme Court rejected efforts to overturn an Arizona election integrity law that outlawed ballot harvesting, the report added.

This action is about a year overdue:
Georgia opens investigation into possible illegal ballot harvesting in 2020 election.  Georgia authorities have launched an investigation into an allegation of systematic ballot harvesting during the state's 2020 general election and subsequent U.S. Senate runoff and may soon issue subpoenas to secure evidence, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger confirmed to Just the News.  Georgia law strictly prohibits third-party activists from picking up and delivering ballots on behalf of voters, a tactic called "harvesting" that liberal organizers have tried to get legalized in many battleground states without success.  The U.S. Supreme Court this summer rejected Democrat efforts to overturn an Arizona law that outlawed harvesting in the battleground state.  Raffensperger, who is seeking reelection in 2022, led a successful effort in 2019 to strengthen Georgia's prohibition against harvesting ahead of the 2020 presidential election, and defeated an effort by prominent Democrat lawyer Marc Elias to overturn the harvesting ban.  Raffensperger also reviewed and rejected claims by former President Donald Trump of widespread fraud during the 2020 election in a series of contacts under investigation by a local district attorney in Atlanta and the Jan. 6 select committee in Congress.

Georgia Begins Probe of Illegal 2020 Ballot Harvesting.  State officials in Georgia are now investigating allegations that ballot harvesting — a practice that's unlawful in the state — was used widely during the November 2020 general election and the U.S. Senate runoff elections that followed two months later.  The allegations originated from good-government group True the Vote, which has promised to release other information on voting irregularities in five other states.  Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, confirmed to John Solomon of Just the News that a probe is underway and that subpoenas from the state's election board may soon follow as part of the evidence-gathering process.

Politico Revels in Democrat Plan to Politicize January 6 Anniversary to Federalize Elections.  The media is already being flooded with stories this week about the solemnity of the January 6 anniversary.  And yet we also have Politico reveling that the Democrats are attempting to use the occasion to engage in flat out partisanship by federalizing the elections at the state level so as to favor that party.

Conservatives must be ready to deal with Democrats cheating in the 2022 midterms.  I hate to ruin the party, but don't count your chickens before they are hatched.  I won't say Biden won the 2020 presidential election, but please notice that he takes his naps in the Oval Office these days.  He didn't get there by winning a free and fair election.  There is nothing democratic about the Democrat party.  Since his popularity is sinking, primarily because of bad policies, he — or some other very left-wing democrat — will have to cheat big time to get four more years in the White House.  They wouldn't do that again, would they?  Of course they would.  They know they cheated, and they know we know they cheated.  And they know that cheating worked for them.  In the bind they are in now, they know that the only way to hold onto the levers of power is to cheat again.

Texas Election Audit Phase 1 Progress Report Is Released — Shows 700K Ineligible Voter Registrations.  The Texas Phase 1 audit of the 2020 election in a sample of four major counties was released on New Year's Eve.  The Phase 1 Progress Report was released on Friday in the Full Forensic Audit of the November 2020 General Election.  The report shows 700,000 ineligible voter registrations. [...] Statewide, a total of 11,737 potential non-U.S. citizens were identified as being registered to vote.  Of these, 327 records were identified in Collin County, 1,385 in Dallas County, 3,063 in Harris County, and 708 in Tarrant County.  Since November 2020, 224,585 deceased voters have been removed from the voter rolls in Texas.  Collin County removed 4,889 deceased voters, Dallas County removed 14,926 deceased voters, Harris County removed 23,914 deceased voters, and Tarrant County removed 13,955 deceased voters.

Texas election audit identifies nearly 12,000 foreigners suspected of registering to vote.  An audit of Texas voter rolls identified nearly 12,000 non-citizens suspected of illegally registering to vote and nearly 600 cases in which ballots may have been cast in the name of a dead resident or by a voter who may also have voted in another state.  Texas Secretary of State John Scott released the findings of the first phase of his audit on the last day of 2021, announcing 224,585 deceased residents were removed from state voters rolls as a result of the review[.]  Statewide, a total of 11,737 potential non-U.S. citizens were identified as being registered to cast ballots, with the lion's share located in the counties around Texas two largest cities of Houston and Dallas.  It is illegal for foreigners to vote in Texas elections.

Were Undocumented Ballots The Reason For Fraud at Detroit's TCF Center?  The Michigan Citizens for Election Integrity (MC4EI) is completing a year-long deep dive into the 2020 General Election in Detroit.  A 100 Percent Fed Up and Gateway Pundit Exclusive — On Thursday, in another preview of their upcoming report, TCF Timeline: the 2020 General Election in Detroit, we brought you the first of a three-part series detailing the shocking treatment of GOP challengers inside Detroit's Absent Voter Counting Board (AVCB). [...] Certainly, the challengers' affidavits are replete with allegations of every kind of fraud — from workers filling out blank ballots to tabulation of ballots from other counties.  But was there a type of fraud, or more subtly, an election law violation that could protect fraud, that occurred in significant magnitude to move the needle in Michigan?

Am I sick?  COVID testing lines stretch for hours.  Fifteen minutes before the WellNow Urgent Care opened on Thursday [12/30/2021], a line stretched past the office, the next two stores and wrapped around the corner to the far side of the building.  Every person there was waiting for a COVID-19 test, five days after Christmas celebrations that may have spread the virus rapidly.  COVID-19 cases are surging again, likely driven by the more contagious omicron variant, and people are now coming out in droves seeking tests.

As many others have pointed out, the eagerness to get Covid testing — even if it means standing in line in cold weather with a bunch of strangers who may be sick — is proof that mail-in voting isn't necessary because of Covid.

Wisconsin Election Committee Makes New Demands After Alleged Voter Roll Chaos.  Republicans on the Wisconsin Assembly Committee on Campaigns and Elections are making demands for information regarding the state's voting rolls and who had access to them, given the unprecedented involvement of partisan groups in the election process.  In a Dec. 22 letter, committee chair state Rep. Janel Brandtjen and five other members called for the administrator of the Wisconsin Elections Commission, Meagan Wolfe, to turn over several pieces of information.  "We are concerned that Wisconsin's voter rolls and voting system remain secure, protected and accurate," the lawmakers wrote.  Brandtjen sought to know on what servers voter identification data are stored and the type of database used to manage it.  She also asked to know who designed and built the database, who had access to it and all affiliated logs and registries.

Senate Republicans Move to Ban Federal Funds From States, Cities That Allow Illegal Aliens to Vote.  Let's begin with a basic premise that should be supported by every loyal citizen of every country on the planet:  Non-citizens should not be allowed to vote in elections.  Period.  That should not even be a question.  Unless you're a Congressional Democrat, that is.  In that case, undocumented Democrats are your thing.  As reported by John Solomon's Just the News, the issue of "non-citizen" voting first came to a boil big-time at the end of the 2018 Georgia governor's race, when Democrat Stacey Abrams suggested the "blue wave" of voters she hoped would put in her office included the "documented and undocumented," the latter a ridiculous Democrat term for illegal aliens.  Abrams denied she was referring to illegal aliens.  However, last time I checked my Democrat decoder ring, "undocumented" was code for "illegal."  Meanwhile, cities in at least three states have authorized illegal aliens to vote, while Georgia ponders a constitutional amendment to ban it.

Biden shifts COVID fearmongering narrative to 'voter suppression'.  President Biden seems to be giving up on his federal COVID vaccine mandate, handing those decisions back to the individual states, while he pivots to laying the groundwork for blaming Republicans for voter suppression in the looming 2022 midterm election wipeout that is on the horizon.  "When it comes to voter suppression, it's no longer just about making it easy for eligible people to vote — it's about whether or not those votes will count at all.  It's simple:  voter suppression is un-American, un-democratic, and unpatriotic," Biden tweeted.  Democrats are expected to get walloped in the 2022 midterm elections due to Biden's unpopularity and his disastrous policies.  He appears to be laying the groundwork to blame Republicans for not federalizing elections, calling it by the misnomer "voter suppression."

One third of Americans still believe Biden's election win was illegitimate.  One-third of Americans think more than a year after the 2020 election that Joe Biden did not legitimately win against Donald Trump, a new poll found.  The University of Massachusetts Amherst poll, taken December 14-20, shows 33 percent of the 1,000 respondents either definitely or probably think President Biden's win was illegitimate.  Forty-six percent think his win was definitely legitimate, another 12 percent think it was probably legitimate and 9 percent are unsure.

Republicans move to ban federal funds to states, cities that allow non-citizens to vote.  Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., is leading a coalition of Republicans in Congress to sponsor legislation that would ban federal funding to states or localities that allow foreigners to vote in U.S. elections.  The new legislation, dubbed the Protecting Our Democracy by Preventing Foreign Citizens from Voting Act, was introduced after many liberal municipalities from San Francisco to New York have moved in 2021 to allow non-citizens to cast ballots in local elections[.]  "It's ridiculous that states are allowing foreign citizens to vote," Rubio said.  "However, if states and localities do let those who are not U.S. citizens to vote in elections, they shouldn't get U.S. citizen taxpayer money."  The measure is being cosponsored by GOP Sens. Steve Daines of Montana, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, John Kennedy, of Louisiana, Rick Scott of Florida and James Lankford, R-Oklahoma.  Rep. Jeff Duncan, R-S.C., plans to introduce companion legislation in the House.

Whistleblower Claims 35,000 Votes Were Added To Democrat Totals In Pima County's 2020 Election.  Arizona state Rep. Mark Finchem read a letter from a whistleblower who claims Democrat operatives added 35,000 votes to Democrat candidates during Pima County's election integrity hearing held this week.  Election integrity advocate Mark Finchem read from an email previously "included in some of the testimony and evidence" from the famous election integrity hearing held on November 30 of last year.  According to Finchem, this email "sets the stage" for election integrity efforts.  Finchem says the letter was dated November 10, 2020, and "is addressed to the criminal division at the U.S. Department of Justice."

Entering The American Twilight Zone.  We didn't know it then, but on Election Night, November 8, [sic] 2020, America entered a Twilight Zone every bit as eerie and unanticipated as anything dreamed up by Rod Serling decades earlier.  It began with time standing still in the middle of the Election Night vote count, followed by a flood of outlandish vote totals being relayed to us, especially from Democrat strongholds in 7 swing states.  Then there was the alacrity with which network analysts declared Biden the winner, especially, the Fox news early projection of a Biden win in Arizona. [...] Despite the 2020 election's irregularities, which were legion, the next two months, leading up to the January 6 Capitol Hill debacle, were a study in media manipulation.  Virtually every organ and institution of public information joined hands to create a bum's rush of legitimacy for Scranton Joe's historic victory.  Not only was there an unprecedented (and unbelievable) turn out of voters, with Trump receiving 8 million more votes than any preceding sitting president, while the bumbling, lackluster, boring, invisible Biden, with no hint at any time in his political career of an excited public following, bested Trump by an additional 7 million votes.

Fight to clean voter lists gains ground after 2020 election.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation went to Pennsylvania with a list of tens of thousands of people who were likely dead, but still on the state's voter rolls in the weeks before the 2020 election.  The state was totally uninterested, according to Christian Adams, the organization's founder.  But once the election was over, Mr. Adams says, the state changed its tune.  It went into mediation with PILF, agreed to look into the list and even agreed to a settlement paying some of the group's lawyers' fees.  The kicker, though, was that Pennsylvania prosecutors even brought charges against a man who, according to PILF's data, had registered his dead wife to vote, then requested her ballot in the 2020 election.  "All of the sudden they're happy to settle, and to clean up their rolls," Mr. Adams told The Washington Times.

The Wisconsin Purchase.  What happened in 2020 involved a highly coordinated and privately funded "shadow campaign" for Joe Biden that took place within the formal structure of the election system itself.  Through the injection of over $419 million of Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan's money, laundered through the Center for Technology and Civic Life (CTCL) and the Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR), the professional left presided over a targeted, historically unprecedented takeover of government election offices by nominally nonpartisan, but demonstrably ideological, nonprofit organizations and activists in key areas of swing states such as Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.  Our research shows that CTCL spending in Wisconsin generated enough votes for Joe Biden to secure him an Electoral College win there in 2020.  We estimate that CTCL spending in Wisconsin purchased Joe Biden an additional 65,222 votes, without which Donald Trump would have won the state by 44,540 votes.  Although CTCL and CEIR are chartered as non-partisan 501(c)(3) corporations, our research shows that the $419.5 million of CTCL and CEIR spending that took place in 2020 was highly partisan in its distribution, and highly partisan in its effects.

Maryland Democrats Sued Over 'Extreme' Gerrymandering Of 2022 Congressional Maps.  Fair Maps Maryland, a nonpartisan organization founded to eliminate partisan gerrymandering, filed suit Thursday to stop the implementation of the Maryland General Assembly's proposed 2022 Congressional map.  The lawsuit alleges that the map, passed along party lines by the Democratic supermajority in the General Assembly, violates the Maryland state constitution and Declaration of Rights.  State Democratic lawmakers approved a map over Republican objections that solidifies Democratic control of seven of the state's eight Congressional districts, and makes the single Republican district more competitive.

Pennsylvania court allows inspection of Dominion voting machines in one county.  Dominion voting machines in Fulton County, Pennsylvania, will be sent to the state Senate for inspection next month following a ruling by the commonwealth court, according to a press release Thursday [12/23/2021] by The Amistad Project.  "The court recognized that it was improper to demand that the county — which owns the machines, and has the responsibility of running the election along with the legislature — can't determine whether the machines worked properly," Amistad Project Director Phill Kline said.  "As the judge noted, there's no justification for preventing the county from looking at their own machines."  The inspection was scheduled for Dec. 22, but Democratic Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro and Democratic Secretary of the Commonwealth Veronica Degraffenreid sued to prevent it.  The judge ruled the investigation must go forward, but he allowed a short delay for both sides to determine a formal protocol for the inspection, which is scheduled for Jan. 10, 2022.

Senator Sinema Stops Biden's Plan To Nationalize Federal Election Laws.  As 2022 approaches, Democrats are privately and publicly expressing their frustration with two of their U.S. Senators who continue to back crucial legislation from passing.  Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) recently wrecked President Biden's hopes of destroying federal election integrity laws by not supporting HR 1 or ending the Senate filibuster.  Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) just crushed Biden's hope of getting his Build Back Better (BBB) massive spending bill passed.  Biden has been pushing to radically federalize elections, in spite of the Constitution.

Joe Biden Backs Plan to Rig an Election His Party Is Favored to Lose.  The Democrats' legislation not only bans voter ID laws that are key to election security, but it also endorses ballot harvesting, uses taxpayer money to fund political campaigns, mandates same-day registration with no safeguards, makes mail-in voting universal, automatically registers minors, legalizes so-called "drive-thru" voting, and even sets up a system where ballots are allowed to be counted if they arrive 10 days after an election.  There is simply no justification for passing an illegitimate power grab over the nation's election systems, and in my opinion, no justification could ever exist in any circumstance.  We are a republic, and localized control of elections is a bedrock principle of our system.  Besides, can anyone point out what has happened in the last year that requires a complete overhaul of our voting systems?  Democrats just made up the need for this out of thin air, and now they proclaim the country will die on the vine if it's not passed.

Here There Be Monsters.  Prior to 2020 Joe Biden barely rose to "also ran" status in U.S. presidential elections.  During his decades in public office his reputation became fixed as slow-witted, unprincipled, self-promoting, gaff-prone, and vindictive.  While such characteristics may extend one's term in a corrupt edifice, they do not otherwise enhance one's appeal.  Nonetheless, amid mountains of evidence of electoral fraud and skullduggery, we're told to believe that more Americans than ever voted for Biden.  This despite his hiding out in a basement rather than campaigning, while garnering meager crowds on those rare occasions where he was present.  We are assured by the dubious vote-counters that his opponent lost.  An opponent who precipitated tens of thousands of enthusiastic supporters on the mere rumor of his appearing, achieved economic and political results that had for decades been called impossible by the political establishment, all in the face of unparalleled invective and resistance from the "mainstream" media and our federal bureaucracy.  Bigfoot riding a unicorn was more credible.  Various polls suggest a big Republican majority, most independents, and as much as a third of Democrats believe the 2020 election was fraudulent.

New Videos Capture Pennsylvania Officials Hiding Evidence Of Alleged Election Fraud.  New whistleblower videos capture Delaware County, Pennsylvania officials plotting to recreate missing election data from the November 2020 contest, with one official later bragging that the local Democrat district attorney "owes him."  These recordings represent the latest evidence of the alleged fraud officials in the Pennsylvania county undertook to hide widespread violations of the state's election laws, according to a source familiar with the recordings.  Whistleblower Regina Miller, who worked as a contract employee for Delaware County, secretly recorded the behind-the-scenes videos of election officials after witnessing concerning conduct, according to sources with knowledge of a fraud lawsuit filed last month against county election officials, based in part on the recordings.  That lawsuit alleged county election officials destroyed election data in response to a May 21, 2021 Right to Know Request filed with Delaware County that requested the final certified return sheets from the Nov. 3, 2020 general election for all Delaware County precincts, as well as the tapes from the voting machines.

What Happened in These States When Unelected Bureaucrats Took Over Redistricting.  In Michigan, the state's civil rights agency said proposed maps of legislative districts "do not measure up to the requirements of the law."  In Pennsylvania, Republican lawmakers complained about an "extreme partisan gerrymander." And in Virginia, incumbents and potential challengers scrambled to work with proposed district maps.  In theory, new bureaucracies to draw up maps for congressional and legislative districts were supposed to save democracy from politics and block the practice of gerrymandering.  But this month has seen controversies on multiple fronts regarding the independent redistricting commissions involved.  When Virginia voters approved its redistricting commission in 2020, that made a total of 10 states that have a commission with primary responsibility for drawing both congressional and state legislative districts, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Crowd Demands Arizona Attorney General Take Action Regarding Alleged Fraud in 2020 Election.  A crowd of more than 100 people rallied outside the office of Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich in Phoenix on Dec. 17 to demand the prosecution of any criminal activity associated with the 2020 election in Maricopa County.  A contingent of police offers kept people off the front steps of the Attorney General's office building except for event organizers and speakers.  Those gathered called out not only for fair and honest elections but that Brnovich begin criminal prosecutions for alleged wrongdoing stemming from the 2020 election in Maricopa County, Arizona's most populous county with over 2.5 million registered voters.  Arizona state Rep. Mark Finchem (R) said that there "was at least probable cause if not clear and convincing evidence that we had significant discrepancies in the election."

IRS Filing Confirms:  Zuckerberg Grantee Spent $332 Million for 'Local Election Administration' in 2020.  A compliance document filed with the Internal Revenue Service by the Mark Zuckerberg-funded Center for Technology and Civic Life (CTCL) confirms the nonprofit spent $332 million in "grants and other assistance to domestic organizations and domestic governments" in the 2020 election to "increase civic participation by modernizing engagement between local gov[ernment] and the people they serve."  As Breitbart News reported in October 2020, "Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced on Tuesday that he and his wife have donated an additional $100 million to a 'safe elections' project run by the non-profit Center for Technology and Civic Life (CTCL), bringing their total contributions to that project to $350 million since September 1."

IRS Filings Confirm Left-Wing Zuck Bucks Recipient Funneled Millions Into Manipulating 2020 Election For Biden.  Internal Revenue Service disclosure filings from the Center for Tech and Civic Life, a left-wing election takeover organization, confirm that the nonprofit used millions of dollars from Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg to manipulate the 2020 election in favor of President Joe Biden.  According to reporting from the Capital Research Center, CTCL used tens of millions of funds funneled from Zuckerberg's community foundations, other leftist "dark money empires," and even federal dollars designated for personal protective equipment, to monetarily urge secretaries of state to adopt sloppy election practices such as mass mail-in balloting and unmonitored dropboxes in the name of protecting voters against COVID-19.  CTCL claims that the complete modification of safe election practices in cities across the United States resulted in "the most secure election in U.S. history," but reporting from multiple sources including The Federalist's Mollie Hemingway, who wrote "Rigged:  How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats Seized Our Elections," suggests the opposite.

It Isn't An Accident That Joe Biden Quoted Stalin to Make His Push to Institutionalize Vote Fraud.  Two days ago, Biden meandered his way into trying to make a case for overturning the US Constitution in favor of a monstrous and illegal Democrat bill that will centralize control of voting within the most Democrat-infested parts of the federal government.  The full speech is below, and the full remarks are at the end of this post.  [Video clip]  At around 36:34 of the clip, we have this jewel.  ["]The struggle is no longer just who gets to vote or making it easier for eligible people to vote.  It's about who gets to count the vote and whether your vote counts at all.["]  If that line sounds familiar to you, it should.  One of Joe Stalin's personal secretaries, Boris Bazhanov (not to be confused with Boris Badenov), fled the USSR in 1928 and wrote a book about his experiences.  He quoted Stalin as describing elections this way.  'I regard it as completely unimportant who in the party will vote and how, but it is extremely important who will count the votes and how.'

Texas Attorney General Cannot Independently Prosecute Election Cases, Court Rules.  Texas's highest court for criminal matters has ruled that the attorney general cannot independently prosecute election cases.  In an 8-1 decision Wednesday [12/15/2021], the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals stated, "the Attorney General can prosecute [election cases] with the permission of the local prosecutor but cannot initiate prosecution unilaterally."  At issue is a provision in section 273.021 of the Texas Election Code, which reads, in part, "The attorney general may prosecute a criminal offense prescribed by the election laws of this state." The court said that the provision violates the separation of powers clause in the Texas Constitution.  The ruling was tied to a case involving a southeast Texas sheriff who faced campaign-finance violation charges.  The Texas Rangers had found that Jefferson County Sheriff Zena Stephens, during her 2016 run for sheriff, allegedly accepted individual cash campaign contributions that exceeded $100, which is a violation of campaign finance law.

Far too little vote fraud to tip election to Trump, AP finds.  An Associated Press review of every potential case of voter fraud in the six battleground states disputed by former President Donald Trump has found fewer than 475 — a number that would have made no difference in the 2020 presidential election.  Democrat Joe Biden won Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin and their 79 Electoral College votes by a combined 311,257 votes out of 25.5 million ballots cast for president.  The disputed ballots represent just 0.15% of his victory margin in those states.

The Editor says...
You can't see what you don't look for.  Apparently the Associated Press is highlighting proven cases of vote fraud, rather than the tens of thousands of highly suspicious ballots in various places around the country.  Other factors don't seem to matter to the AP, like the fact that the counting stopped at around midnight on November 3, 2020, in five states simultaneously, while President Trump was way ahead, as if in response to an order from someone at a very high level of authority.  [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] Apparently the AP is no longer interested in that angle, if they ever were.

Pima County 2020 Election Integrity Hearing Provides Evidence Of Thousands Of Fraudulent Votes.  The Pima County Election Integrity Hearing built another strong case for a stolen election in Arizona.  Following the Maricopa County full forensic 2020 Election audit, Arizona State Representative Mark Finchem is pushing to audit the entire state of Arizona.  The Gateway Pundit reported on the massive irregularities and outright fraud that was found in Maricopa County, and the pending criminal investigation by the Arizona Attorney General's office.  On Monday [12/13/2021], Rep. Mark Finchem was a key player in hosting another 2020 election hearing in Pima County, Arizona to discuss the anomalies, discrepancies, and reports of election fraud.

PILF Sues the D.C. Board of Elections for Failure to Provide Voter List Maintenance Records.  Today [12/6/2021], the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) filed a federal lawsuit against Monica Evans, the Executive Director of the District of Columbia Board of Elections, for failure to permit inspection of voter list maintenance records as required by the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).  The D.C. Board of Elections claims they cannot provide these voter list maintenance documents because of their contract with the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC).  Their contract prohibits the release of the data ERIC provides to member states.  The lawsuit alleges that any relationship with ERIC cannot be used by election officials to escape D.C's obligation under federal law to conduct election administration in a transparent matter.  This obligation is all the more important considering ERIC's history of inaccuracy of removing deceased and other ineligible registrants from voter rolls.

The Left Is Shocked When Those Companies Who Promised to Punish GOP Candidates Suddenly Decided Just the Opposite.  In the aftermath of the "insurrection" of January 6, 2021, American companies governed by woke executives and boards fairly fell over one another to appease the left.  In a flurry of virtue signaling rarely seen, company after company declared that they would no longer contribute to the campaign funds of anyone who voted against certifying the 2020 election results.  Mind you, senators and congressmen and -women have a Constitutional right to object for any reason or no reason at all.  In fact, since the 2000 election, Democrats have objected to the Electoral college vote in three elections.  Let the record show that since 2000, a Republican has only been elected three times:  2000, 2004, and 2016.

New York City Undermines the Vote.  Elections in the U.S. are plagued by problems of integrity.  At the very basic level, the country has failed to maintain accurate and current voter rolls.  With those on the Left opposed to voter IDs, there's no way of verifying genuine eligibility.  Big Tech sways contests with enhanced social media coverage or censorship, and, more recently, there has been reason to suspect foreign interference.  Then there are structural defects which allow manipulation — the vulnerability of mail-in ballots to vote harvesting, the extension of voting periods weeks before and following official election dates, and the questionable last-minute changes of election law.  The list could go on and on.  But now a new threat, perhaps more foreboding than the ones listed, looms over American elections — a new bill that gives non-citizens the right to vote in municipal elections in New York City.  The bill has been passed into law, making NYC the 15th among towns and cities with local laws permitting non-citizen voting.

We Have Very Little Time To Act To Save American Elections.  Communists are very good at the waiting game.  They take the long view and bide their time.  They've been slowly, but efficiently, infiltrating American institutions for more than half a century.  Education, media, and entertainment have all fallen quietly to the left where the conspirators have been waiting decades for a chance to implement their evil plans.  As if on cue, the administration of Barack Obama provided the platform for a large-scale assault on the United States Constitution and the American way of life.  We are still witnessing the aftermath of that onslaught.  The left now owns most of the powerful positions inside the constitutional government as well as the vast majority of the illicit, administrative state.

Cracked Icons.  Do we remember old Joe Biden from Scranton?  He was the media fiction who hid his dementia in his basement for a year, spouting that Trump had wrecked everything and he would bring about decency, prosperity, an end to the virus, and "healing."  The Biden candidacy was one of the most cynical in American history.  The unhinged far-Left adopted a befuddled Biden as the respectable veneer necessary to see their hard-core, but stealth socialist agenda finally enacted.  Key to a virtual presidency would be virtual voting, as 102 million mail-in and early votes were never subject to the previous standards of authentication and statistical rejection rates of the past — rendering Election Day voting mostly a memory.

Wisconsin Hearing Reveals Massive Voter Anomalies.  The Wisconsin Assembly Committee on Campaigns and Elections hosted a hearing on Wednesday [12/8/2021]. [...] Here's a takeaway of the key points:
  •   Although Wisconsin's population is 5.8 million with approximately 4.5 million eligible to vote, there are more than 7 million separate voter records, suggesting that voters are placed on inactive status rather than being removed.
  •   157,000 voters in Wisconsin have the same registration number.
  •   Approximately 3.3 million Wisconsinites voted in the 2020 election, representing 93.7% of the state's 3.5 million active voters.
  •   121,251 active Wisconsin voters have been registered for 110 to 119 years; in total, more than 500,000 active and inactive voters have a January 1, 1918 registration date.  O'Donnell pointed out that while that date may have been used as a placeholder when information was missing, 500,000 is an alarmingly high number.

Exclusive Whistleblower Video:  Pennsylvania Election Workers Discuss Hiding 'Derogatory' Records.  A new whistleblower video obtained by The Federalist shows Delaware County, Pennsylvania election workers discussing ways to hide from the public "derogatory" information about the management and administration of the November 2020 election.  The video is further evidence of fraud undertaken to conceal the widespread violations of Pennsylvania election law that occurred during last year's presidential election, according to a source familiar with the recording.  The video, surreptitiously recorded by whistleblower Regina Miller, is one of many Miller took while working as a contract employee for the county.  Miller began secretly recording the behind-the-scenes conduct after witnessing concerning behavior by several election officials, a person with knowledge of a lawsuit filed last month against county election officials, based in part on the recordings, told The Federalist.

5 Biggest Takeaways From The Latest Review Of Wisconsin's Rigged 2020 Election.  [#1] Unlawful Votes Exceeded Biden's Margin of Victory:  Tens of thousands of Wisconsin votes cast in the 2020 election did not comply with state law, especially regarding ballot drop boxes and "indefinite confinement."  As a recent audit by the state's Legislative Audit Bureau showed, absentee ballot dropboxes were used prevalently at the behest of the Wisconsin Elections Commission in violation of state law.  These dropboxes were connected to an extra 20,000 votes for now-President Joe Biden, with no noteworthy effect for then-President Donald Trump.  Additionally, more than a quarter of a million Wisconsinites acquired absentee ballots and didn't have to show voter ID because they claimed to be "indefinitely confined" because of the COVID-19 pandemic.  That voting status, however, only applies to people who are confined due to "age, physical illness, or infirmity, or is disabled for an indefinite period," meaning many of those more than 265,000 voters cast an absentee ballot illegally.

Whistleblower Videos Capture Pennsylvania Election Officials Destroying Evidence.  Several residents of Delaware County Pennsylvania filed a sprawling lawsuit Thursday against the former Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar, Delaware County, the Delaware County Board of Elections, and more than a dozen individual election officials.  The lawsuit followed Wednesday's night release of videotapes taken by a whistleblower capturing concerning behavior by several election officials in the Keystone state.  A source familiar with the lawsuit provided access to the tapes, noting the then-unnamed whistleblower had come forward with video evidence purporting to show Delaware County, Pennsylvania election officials destroying records from the November 2020 general election.  The videos were also filed with the complaint and a bevy of exhibits the plaintiffs maintain support the allegations contained in their 91-page complaint.

MSNBC Contributor Lays out 'Federal Takeover' to 'Save' Next Year's Election.  [Scroll down]  Let's be clear on what's being said here.  No one is being denied the right to vote except in someone's fevered imagination.  Translate what Johnson is saying:  Even if the court finds there isn't a problem, Johnson is saying that the Biden administration is going to have to step in on its own to initiate a federal takeover to "save" the elections.  Talk about an "attack on democracy" — you're hearing it being laid out in front of you.  He's saying ignore any court finding and impose federal will.  Yes, Dr. Johnson, the right is likely to scream about such an improper and unconstitutional action to try to undermine the election.  Given what we've already seen happen with the flexing of the power of the federal government since Biden has come in, I don't doubt at all that he could try something like this, particularly as they get more and more desperate to win.

The 'cabal' that bragged of foisting Joe Biden on us must answer for his failed presidency.  It's time to admit it.  Less than a year in, Joe Biden's is a failed presidency.  Biden knows it, the press knows it, and voters know it.  And our foreign adversaries like China and Russia know it.  It's also time to look at the "cabal" of business, labor and political leaders who foisted the Biden administration on us.  That won't be hard, as they were openly bragging about their efforts less than a year ago.  The failure is obvious.  The administration is so desperate, it's begging the press for better coverage.  (What, they're supposed to lie about gas and food prices?  I guess so.)  The Chinese and Russians are moving aggressively against the United States and its allies, on the ground, on the seas and even in outer space, because they don't fear repercussions from a tired, incoherent president who presides over an administration of woke incompetents and Obama retreads.

Wisconsin Election Hearing Reveals 119,283 "Active Voters" Who Have Been Registered For Over 100 Years.  The Wisconsin Committee on Campaigns and Elections hearing began at 2 pm on Wednesday.  Damning evidence of fraud was revealed.  Last week, Former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Hon. Michael Gableman testified in front of this committee.  Gableman is leading an election review in the state.  At the hearing he threatened to subpoena a Zuckerberg employee and former Obama operative.  Trump spokeswoman Liz Harrington highlighted some of the findings from today's hearing as investigators call for a complete investigation and audit of the 2020 election.  [Tweets with video clips]

A True Tale of Absentee Vote Fraud.  On April 6, 2017, Mark Harris swung open the door to Ray's Furniture Liquidators, a discount furniture store in a small town in eastern North Carolina, ready to meet the man who he hoped could help him win a seat in Congress.  A year earlier, Harris had lost the 2016 Republican primary for North Carolina's 9th Congressional District by a mere 134 votes.  A handful of absentee votes in Bladen County had made all the difference.  Now a powerful judge had arranged the furniture store meeting with three local Republican power players — a Realtor whose family founded the famous hamburger joint in town, the county GOP chair and the county commissioner who owned the furniture store, Ray Britt.  They wanted to introduce Harris to the person who steered those handful of absentee ballots, McCrae Dowless.

DOJ Sues Texas Over New Redistricting Maps.  The Department of Justice (DOJ) is suing the state of Texas over its new redistricting maps, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Monday [12/6/2021].  The lawsuit, which was filed in the Western District of Texas, claims that the state violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.  The maps were drawn by state lawmakers during a special session and were signed and approved by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, in October.  "Today, the Justice Department has filed suit against the state of Texas for violating Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act," Garland said in a press conference Monday.

New York Moves to Invalidate American Citizenship.  While many Americans have been focused on the endless carnage the Biden administration has wrought on our border, New York City is on the verge of passing radical legislation to give migrants the right to vote in city elections.  The proposed bill would allow roughly 800,000 non-citizens to vote as long as they have legal status or a work visa.  The legislation is expected to be voted on next month and has the support of incumbent Mayor Bill de Blasio, as well as incoming Mayor Eric Adams, whose framing of the bill has been misguided, if not intentionally deceptive.  [Quote omitted for brevity, among other things.]  Adams' point is nonsensical because studies have demonstrated that the vast majority of migrants who come to the U.S. are economic migrants.  Most of these migrants come from poor countries, and simply want to live and work in a prosperous one.  In other words, most migrants are attracted to America because of our wealth, not our civics.

Chris Christie is wrong:  Election integrity matters.  In an effort to tee up another failed run for president, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie recently stated that everyone should move on from the 2020 election, criticizing former President Donald Trump and his supporters for focusing on it.  Christie is completely out of touch with voters.  Trump is right to focus on election integrity.  Election integrity is an important and winning issue for Republicans, especially after the sham election of 2020 and with the fast-approaching elections of 2022 and 2024.  Without it, history will repeat itself, and we will lose our country as we once knew it.  The 2020 election was one of the most unfair, disgraceful events in U.S. history.  And with H.R. 1, the Democrats are trying to make sure this becomes the new normal on a nationalized scale.  Contrary to the Constitution, state officials ignored statutes passed by their legislatures and made last-minute, illegal changes to voting procedures.  Millions of ballots were mailed to people who never even asked for them.  With no voter ID laws in many places and inadequate signature matching and poll monitoring, it was a free-for-all.

Election Poll Worker Turnout for Republicans in Dane County Wisconsin Up from 41 Last Election to 318 For Next Election.  Americans are standing up for honest elections.  Republican turnout for election workers in Dane County Wisconsin is more than seven times the number of workers from the last election.  With only two weeks to go before the deadline for the Republican Party to provide its list of election poll workers to Dane County Wisconsin, the election gang in the county mandated that the workers be vaccinized.  Republicans were still able to put together their list and provide to the county by the deadline today.

DOJ Prosecutors Using Grand Jury to Subpoena Financial Records of 2020 Election Audit Groups.  The Washington Post is writing a story today [11/30/2021] about federal prosecutors using grand juries to subpoena the financial records of individuals and groups who were associated with the 2020 election audit efforts.  The motives here are very predictable. [...] The specifics of this first report surround attorney Sidney Powell and her 'Defend The Republic' organization, one of several individuals and groups who were raising money to support 2020 election audits.  The Sidney Powell, Mike Flynn, and Patrick Byrne network are under review.  As you review the article it is important to note few key elements:  (1) The subpoena document's were leaked to the Washington Post by someone inside the investigation; that speaks toward the larger motive of the DOJ/FBI effort itself.  (2) The specific DOJ prosecutors are the same ones working hand-in-glove with the J6 committee.

26,000 dead people [are] still registered to vote in Michigan, lawsuit alleges.  Theresa Domasiewicz, a one-time resident still listed as a registered voter in Michigan, would be 108 years old if she were alive today.  But she isn't, having died in May 2000. Domasiewicz is among 25,975 dead people who remain on the state's voting rolls, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan.  Public Interest Legal Foundation, a conservative ethics watchdog, alleges in the lawsuit that Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, has not complied with the 1993 National Voter Registration Act.

Allowing foreign citizens to vote in US elections is a rotten idea.  Approximately 808,000 "non-citizens" may vote in future New York City elections, if the City Council welcomes them to do so, as early as December.  These potential new members of the electorate would include green card holders and those with certain work permits.  This is a rotten idea.  However, love or hate it, everyone at least should debate this concept with maximum precision.  These 808,000 potential new voters are not non-citizens.  The computer on which I write these words is a non-citizen.  So is the medium via which you are reading them right now.

Meet the Technology That's Uncovering 2020's Voter Fraud.  The search for phantom voters is over.  Phantom voters are sitting next to you at the restaurant or standing next to you at the bank.  They are your friend and neighbor.  You may be a phantom and not know it.  Phantom voters, the definition, is morphing from fake voters hiding in UPS boxes to people who advanced computer models predict will not vote.  Don't get me wrong — there are thousands of phantom voters living in churches, R.V. parks, cemeteries, homeless shelters, hotels, and virtual mailboxes.  It's just that there are as many, perhaps more, who live active, healthy, honest lives on voter rolls.  They just don't know they voted.  You've heard the stories, denied by the mainstream press and almost every secretary of state:  there is no significant voter fraud.  Why not say that?  There is no way you can check.  Now there is.

AZ State Senator Wendy Rogers: 186 Legislators From 39 States Call For 50 State Audit — Arizona Looks To Decertify.  Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers appeared on frankspeech.com with Brannon Howse and Bill Federer today to give an update on the Arizona audit.  Senator Rogers' 'Audit 50 States Letter' is rapidly gaining signatures from state legislators who embrace election integrity in almost every state.  Rogers tweeted an update on Monday, stating that 186 legislators have now signed on.

Voting Is For Citizens.  New York City's political leaders are prepared to extend the franchise to noncitizens by creating a new class of persons called "municipal voters."  These new voters would include Legal Permanent Residents — LPRs, known familiarly as "green card" holders — and other noncitizens "authorized to work in the United States."  Municipal voters would be permitted to vote in all local elections, including primary, general, and special elections for mayor, public advocate, comptroller, city council, borough president, and in local ballot initiatives.  They would not be permitted to cast ballots in state or federal elections.  About 37 percent of New York City residents were born abroad.  The majority of these more than 3 million people are naturalized citizens, entitled to vote in any election, assuming they meet the requirements of being 18 years old and not currently in prison or on parole.  The "municipal voter" legislation would apply to the 650,000 LPRs in New York City and approximately 150,000 others who hold employment-eligible visas, or who have received "deferred action" status under DACA.

New York City to pass unconstitutional law allowing non-citizens to vote.  The White House may not be making any progress on the Democrats' "voting rights" bill thus far, but the City Council of New York is trying to set an example for them with a dubious (and probably illegal) bill of its own.  The proposal, currently supported by a veto-proof majority of council members, would allow non-citizens with green cards or work permits to vote in municipal elections.  Current records indicate that the change would apply to more than 800,000 residents of the Big Apple and could significantly change the generic ballot slant in multiple borough or city-level races.  But even if it's passed, the bill faces a number of hurdles.

Georgia Governor Releases More Evidence That 2020 Ballots Were Miscounted.  Last week, Georgia's Republican Gov. Brian Kemp referred data to the State Election Board showing "36 inconsistencies" in the results of a Fulton County audit.  This development provides yet the latest example of the chaos controlling the November 2020 election — and the corrupt media's refusal to care.  With only 11,779 votes out of nearly 5 million votes cast separating Joe Biden and Donald Trump in the final tally in Georgia for the 2020 presidential election, the southern state and specifically Fulton County — the state's most populous county and the home to the Democrat-heavy city of Atlanta — became a focal point following the November general election.  After a recount and audit confirmed Biden carried the state, politicians and the press joined forces proclaiming, "Nothing to see here, move along."  But there was a lot to see there and elsewhere throughout the country:  It was just hidden or, in some cases, destroyed.

New York City Council Moves to Allow 800,000 Non-Citizens to Vote in Municipal Elections.  The New York City Council will vote on December 9 on a law to allow green-card holders and residents with work permits to vote in municipal elections.  Around 808,000 New York City residents who have work permits or are lawful permanent residents would be eligible to vote under the legislation, which has the support of 34 of 51 council members, a veto-proof majority.  "It's important for the Democratic Party to look at New York City and see that when voting rights are being attacked, we are expanding voter participation," Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez, a sponsor of the bill and Democrat who represents the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, told the New York Times. Rodriguez immigrated from the Dominican Republic and became a U.S. citizen in 2000.

The Editor says...
Nobody's voting rights are being attacked.  Non-citizens do not have the right to vote.  Allowing non-citizens to vote is an affront to our democratic republic, because it dilutes the votes of U.S. citizens.

Garland's Lawsuit Against Texas Election Integrity Law Is Partisan and Political.  A recent lawsuit filed by the U.S. Justice Department's Civil Rights Division against Texas may make the Biden administration's political allies happy, but it borders on the frivolous.  The lawsuit, which challenges an election reform bill that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law in September, reveals the motives behind the left's strident opposition to commonsense steps to protect the integrity of the voting process.  The Texas Legislature passed the Texas Election Integrity Protection Act in August, after Democratic state legislators who had fled the state (beer-in-hand on a private jet) returned.  The law made many appropriate, much-needed changes to improve Texas' election integrity without infringing on the ability of eligible Texans to vote.  It immediately was met with hysterical claims by critics, including Vice President Kamala Harris, who falsely asserted that the new law was "one of the most restrictive in the nation."

Post-election swindles in Pennsylvania.  [Scroll down]  So, in just one county of 67, the Democrats, as Liz highlighted:
  •   Did not guard the drop boxes (which they illegally implemented);
  •   Mailed over 16,000 incorrect one-sided ballots;
  •   Did not notify either party until 2:00 am on election night that 9,000 mail-in ballots had a printing error and were unscannable;
  •   Incorrectly reported the received mail-in ballot numbers on the Election dashboard; and
  •   The Department of State election results pdf inaccurately showed 100% of precincts reported when it was only 100% of in-person votes reported and there were 20,000 mail-in votes outstanding leading to widespread confusion...
...and deep distrust in the system.  These are not the only problems in Pennsylvania's 2020 election.

Whistleblower Videos Capture Pennsylvania Election Officials Destroying Evidence.  Several residents of Delaware County Pennsylvania filed a sprawling lawsuit Thursday against the former Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar, Delaware County, the Delaware County Board of Elections, and more than a dozen individual election officials.  The lawsuit followed Wednesday's night release of videotapes taken by a whistleblower capturing concerning behavior by several election officials in the Keystone state.  A source familiar with the lawsuit provided access to the tapes, noting the then-unnamed whistleblower had come forward with video evidence purporting to show Delaware County, Pennsylvania election officials destroying records from the November 2020 general election.  The videos were also filed with the complaint and a bevy of exhibits the plaintiffs maintain support the allegations contained in their 91-page complaint.  The complaint, filed by Delaware County residents, Ruth Moton, Leah Hoopes, Gregory Stenstrom, as well as the Friends of Ruth Motion campaign, prevented both detailed alleged violations of state election law during the November 2020 election and claims of a conspiracy after the election to hide the numerous problems and illegalities that occurred during the last presidential election.

RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel Said Republican Candidates Should Still Talk About 2020, Even Though Biden "Painfully" Won.  Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel said Thursday that Republican candidates should continue talking about voter fraud and the 2020 election heading into the midterms, even while acknowledging that President Joe Biden won last November.  "I mean, we have to talk about the things that people saw," McDaniel said during a reporters' roundtable hosted by the Christian Monitor.  She highlighted concerns from poll watchers and voters who she said were "frustrated" because they were turned away from polling sites or who felt that the presidential election "wasn't run well."

What Kind of Game are We Playing?  [Scroll down]  The first thing to understand is that this is not a finite game like golf, bridge, or anything else with fixed rules and defined players.  Those are stable systems where a particular move is likely to have a predictable set of possible outcomes.  An election is a finite game.  It ends with counted votes.  But if you then change the result by adding "imaginary" votes, you've changed it into an infinite game.  Infinite games have changing rules and changing players.  If both sides play an infinite game, that system is also stable. [...] Until Republicans recognize that Democrats are playing the infinite game, the American experiment will remain unstable, always sliding toward more centralization of government power.  All the guardrails will be removed because, in essence, the Democrats will be unopposed.

FBI Raids Home of County Clerk and Whistleblower Tina Peters.  Mesa County Colorado Clerk Tina Peters knew that the Colorado Secretary of State was most likely committing a crime when she ordered voting machines cleaned of 2020 Election results earlier this year.  So Tina Peters made a backup of Mesa County's 2020 voting machines.  She was then targeted by the state for her actions.  Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters shared her story at the event Mike Lindell put on a few months ago in South Dakota.  Tina Peters had her office raided after she made the decision to not allow Democrat partisans to wipe clean the election data from her county's machines.  Tina Peters has received numerous death threats for saving the data.  Democrat officials demand it be erased.

Influential Georgia senator urges audit of surveillance tapes at ballot drop boxes.  An influential Georgia state senator, who is running for lieutenant governor in 2022, says he believes states like his own that used drop boxes to collect absentee ballots last year should audit the surveillance video tapes that were installed at the voting locations to ensure no shenanigans occurred.  "All those drop boxes that were sent throughout Metro Atlanta, you can't police them if you wanted to, so it just made it ripe for bad actors to game the system," Republican state Sen. Burt Jones told Just the News in an interview this week.  Jones, who is seeking his party's nomination for lieutenant governor next year, said he was disappointed that state authorities like the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, the attorney general or secretary of state didn't initiate audits of the video because drop boxes were introduced as a new tactic during the pandemic and raised concerns about potential abuse.

Washington Election Official Says Writing Your Name On A Napkin Counts As A Ballot.  As Democrats continue to look for new ways to "expand ballot access", one Washington State election official had an idea:  someone's vote should still count if it was wrote [sic] on a napkin.  During an election review training in Seattle, an election official said that a voter pamphlet with the candidates name circled would count for a vote towards said candidate.  A participant in the training asked if this meant that a vote would be counted if a candidates name was wrote on a napkin.  The election officials response was shocking.

Why The Left Always Projects.  [Scroll down]  Donald Trump complained and is still complaining about the 2020 election.  To the degree that anything was "rigged" or can be proven to have been "rigged," an entirely alterable election likely cannot be tied to Election Day per se.  The real anomalies occurred in spring 2020, when activists, often with help from left-wing billionaires, funded lawsuits that persuaded local magistrates and bureaucrats to overturn balloting procedures established by their state legislatures.  And then under the cloak of the COVID-19 lockdown, 102 million ballots were not cast on Election Day — over twice the 2016 absentee and early-voting numbers.  Even as the number of ballots to be counted radically soared, the rejection rate mysteriously dropped.  So, the more the Left trashed Trump's insistence of voter irregularities, the more we forget that casting doubt on election integrity has long been a staple of Democratic losers.

Former Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch Sues Wisconsin Elections Commission For Flagrantly Breaking The Law.  Wisconsin's former Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch filed a lawsuit with the state Supreme Court on Monday against the Wisconsin Elections Commission for breaking state laws in the 2020 cycle.  In her lawsuit, Kleefisch, a Republican running for governor next year, asked the court to declare that the elections commission's guidance is against state law and enjoin the commission to carry out a lawful election in 2022.  She requested that the Supreme Court take up jurisdiction so the lawsuit doesn't get tangled up in the lower courts and stalled during next year's election.  "We need to make sure that the law-breaking we saw happen in 2020 never happens again in Wisconsin," Kleefisch told The Federalist.  "This is about forcing the Wisconsin Elections Commission to clean up their act and provide clear, law-abiding plans for how to implement the 2022 elections."  The lawsuit follows the Wisconsin Legislative Audit Bureau finding numerous times when the elections commission clearly broke state law, including with unattended ballot drop boxes, closed polling locations, and special voting deputies being banned from nursing homes.

Guarding against Cheating in Elections by the Far Left.  Realizing that their radical goals and ambitions are unattainable with tens of millions of patriotic Americans who love their country and their cherished freedoms, it is probable that some or many members of the Democrat Party (and their wealthy "woke" supporters) will be highly motivated to cheat in future federal and state elections.  Undoubtedly, many of these people believe that if cheating is required to win elections, it is a justifiable means to an end.  Thus, Republicans and other freedom-loving Americans must guard against such efforts by identifying and nullifying elections cheating activities.

Why election night in Bergen County seemed like 'fraud' to many.  A look behind the scenes.  The numbers posted and updated on the official website throughout the night Tuesday were only from voting machines, said Sabrina Taranto, the elections division supervisor in the clerk's office.  It was nearly midnight when a new batch of more than 41,000 mail-in ballots was posted.  In an atmosphere of suspicion over elections, conspiracy theories were rampant on social media after the flood of late votes.  The attention was nationwide, driven by the closely watched gubernatorial race, one of two in the country.  A Facebook post published Nov. 3 in a group called "Audit NJ #AuditNJ" shows two screenshots side by side.  Both depict a New York Times county-level breakdown of New Jersey election results.  In one screenshot, Jack Ciattarelli is shown as having 52% of the vote in Bergen County, with 100% of precincts reporting.  In the other screenshot, purportedly taken seven hours later, Phil Murphy is up by more than 40,000 votes.

Longtime NJ Senate president concedes to GOP truck driver Ed Durr.  New Jersey state Senate President Steve Sweeney conceded Wednesday [11/10/2021] to Republican candidate and commercial truck driver Edward Durr, who spent only $153 on his primary campaign.  "The results of Tuesday's election are in, all votes have been fairly counted, and I, of course, accept the results," Sweeney said during a press conference at the statehouse.  "I want to congratulate Mr. Durr and wish him the best of luck," added Sweeney, who has served as New Jersey state Senate president since 2010.  When asked "what happened" to upend the race in the state's 3rd Legislative District, Sweeney replied, "It was a red wave."  Sweeney's concession comes six days after The Associated Press called the race for Durr.

The Editor says...
Good!  Now let's have a close look at those 12,000 ballots you say you "found" somewhere.

NJ Senate President Steve Sweeney Officially Concedes Defeat to Republican Truck Driver Edward Durr.  "I of course accept the results.  I want to congratulate Mr. Durr and wish him the best of luck," Steve Sweeney said during a speech at the statehouse complex Wednesday.  "It was a red wave" that took him out of office, he said.  Steve Sweeney has served as New Jersey Senate President since 2010, and was responsible for walking Democrat Governor Phil Murphy's radical progressive agenda and totalitarian COVID rules through the Legislature.  However, the district voters had enough, dispatched him and replaced him with a truck driver who spent a little more than $2,300 bucks in the contest.  [Video clip]

New York county manages to screw up early voting count... again.  Just as a reminder, during the election earlier this month, voters in New York State roundly rejected a ballot measure that would have permanently allowed unlimited early mail-in voting without requiring an excuse for needing an absentee ballot.  After everyone finishes reading about this story they may be breathing a sigh of relief in terms of the bullet they managed to dodge.  In upstate New York's Onondaga County, it was "discovered" yesterday that nearly 1,000 mail-in ballots were never counted after the polls closed.  Now they are going back and beginning the process of recounting all of the mail-in ballots yet again.  While these are all local races, for the most part, many of them were quite close and the official results of many of them are back up in the air.  And as we'll review in a moment, this is hardly the first time that this region has encountered "mysterious" issues with counting the ballots.

We are living in legendary times.  Coupled with the China Plague, we have seen the theft of a presidential election.  I do not doubt that a major effort was undertaken to stop the obvious progress on every level that was being affected by the Donald J. Trump administration.  As bombastic as Trump was and is, he was effective and efficient (when not overtly opposed by Democrats, leftists, FBI/CIA et al, media, and swamp dwellers), the exact formula despised by deep state politicians on both sides of the aisle.  Kicking the can down the road has become the go-to approach to problem solving for Congress and the White House, spending like drunken sailors all the while.  Trump made them look bad.  Very bad.  Considering the rigged election, Molly Ball's Time magazine article did most of the bragging on behalf of the victorious, detailing the depth and the scope of the effort.  I have no doubt that some of the effort was scripted and some of the effort was ad hoc on the part of the faithful.  It was truly a team effort.

My Ringside Seat on a Crooked New Jersey Election.  Watching the shenanigans in the still contested New Jersey gubernatorial election, I have to wonder whether there has ever been a truly honest election in state history.  From my own experience, I would say probably not and, as I also learned, there are a thousand ways to cheat.  In 1982, through an odd sequence of events, I found myself with a ringside seat on a routinely crooked Newark mayoral election.  I had been offered a job as "associate director" of the 1,000-employee Newark Housing and Redevelopment Authority.  This being a recession year, and I needing to finish my Ph.D. dissertation, I took it.  This was not a career move.  I had two qualifications that endeared me to the Philippine-born woman who ran the show:  I lived in Newark public housing growing up, and I aced her borderline illegal IQ test.

A Truck Driver With a Few Thousand Bucks and an iPhone Just Toppled New Jersey's Most Powerful Lawmaker.  It is not hyperbole to say that Edward Durr, a 58-year-old truck driver from New Jersey, just pulled off one of the biggest political upsets in American history.  With a bare-bones campaign that reportedly cost less than $6,000 (some earlier reports claimed that Durr spent just $153 on the race, but Durr later clarified that was not a full accounting), Durr ousted New Jersey Senate President Steve Sweeney (D-West Deptford) in Tuesday's election.  After previously calling the race for Sweeney and then withdrawing that call, the Associated Press called the race for Durr on Thursday morning.  He has a lead of over 2,000 votes with 99 percent of precincts reporting.  Sweeney, who was seeking a seventh term in the Senate, is widely regarded as a kingpin in New Jersey politics and one of the most powerful men in the state.  He has been president of the state Senate since 2010, the longest tenure in state history.

NJ Dem leader refuses to concede to GOP truck driver, says thousands of ballots [were] 'recently found'.  Democratic New Jersey Senate President Steve Sweeney says thousands of "recently found" ballots supports his refusal to concede to a Republican challenger who ran a low-budget campaign.  "The results from Tuesday's election continue to come in, for instance there were 12,000 ballots recently found in one county," Sweeney said in an email to the Philadelphia Inquirer on Thursday.  "While I am currently trailing in the race, we want to make sure every vote is counted.  Our voters deserve that, and we will wait for the final results."  Sweeney's office did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment on the matter, specifically on identifying which South Jersey county recently found the ballots.

Philadelphia Charges Again Rebut 'No Election Fraud' Claims.  Philadelphia has a long, unfortunate history of election fraud, so the latest federal criminal charges of election fraud against Marie Beren, a former staffer for City Council member Mark Squilla, are no surprise.  They are probably also a disappointment to opponents of election reform who constantly claim there is no such thing as election fraud.  Jennifer Arbittier Williams, the acting U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, has filed four counts against Beren, including voting more than once in a federal election, conspiring to illegally vote in a federal election and to deprive persons of their civil rights, and aiding and abetting the submission of fraudulent ballots.  According to the criminal "information" filed in federal court, Beren was recruited and appointed to be an official "election judge" responsible for overseeing and managing three different divisions (polling places) inside the 39th Ward in Philadelphia by a political consultant and former elected official identified only as "Consultant #1."  Beren served in this position from 1988 to 2015.  She officially stepped down in 2015 to become a "certified poll watcher" and installed someone else to take her position.  But according to the criminal information, Beren still ran things behind the scenes through 2019, continuing "to effectively run all three Divisions."

Not Suspicious at All:  Top NJ Democrat Says They 'Recently Found' 12,000 Ballots.  Leah has covered this New Jersey race extensively.  It's a state senate seat so it doesn't get much attention but if you live in the Garden State, this is a huge upset.  This is the New York Giants beating the Patriots in Super Bowl 42.  New Jersey Senate President Stephen Sweeney appears to have been beaten by a no-name Republican Edward Durr, who spent less than $100 to beat Sweeney.  I'm deducting the $67 he spent at Dunkin' Donuts.  I've lived in New Jersey for most of my life.  Sweeney owns South Jersey.  He's the labor union's top guy there.  He controls that campaign cash.  No governor can get much down without his blessing either.  To get clipped likes this, really highlights the miserable election night Democrats had this cycle.  So, why hasn't he conceded yet?  Well, 12,000 ballots just magically appeared.

NJ Senate President Steve Sweeney Won't Concede to Truck Driver, Says 12,000 Ballots 'Recently Found'.  Democratic New Jersey Senate President Steve Sweeney said he will not concede the election after it was projected that he lost to a truck driver who ran a low-budget campaign, telling local media that thousands of ballots were "recently found in one county."  "The results from Tuesday's election continue to come in, for instance there were 12,000 ballots recently found in one county," Sweeney told Philadelphia Inquirer and Politico late last week.  "While I am currently trailing in the race, we want to make sure every vote is counted.  Our voters deserve that, and we will wait for the final results."  His office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.  The Associated Press had called Tuesday's race in favor of Edward Durr, a Republican, for southwestern New Jersey's 3rd legislative district.

The Editor says...
Suppose Mr. Sweeney decides to concede defeat after all.  At that point, are we supposed to forget about the 12,000 "found" ballots, or will there be an inspection of those ballots and a test of their authenticity?

Powerful New Jersey Democrat, Steve Sweeney, Will Not Concede Election Because He Just Found 12,000 Ballots.  New Jersey Democrat President Steve Sweeney was stunningly defeated by a truck driver named Edward Durr in last Tuesday's elections.  However, Sweeney has refused to concede the election.  When questioned about why he refuses to concede, the most powerful Democrat in the New Jersey legislature said his campaign just found 12,000 ballots to help him.  They don't even try to hide the corruption anymore.

Pennsylvania governor [was] caught letting [his] wife drop off his election ballot.  Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf admitted this week he made a mistake when he allowed his wife to drop off his mail-in ballot ahead of Tuesday's municipal elections.  The comments came during an interview with KDKA radio in Pittsburgh.  A Wolf spokesperson told The Associated Press "it was an honest mistake."  State law requires voters return their own mail-in ballots to a county election office or drop box.  Written permission must be given to return someone else's ballot.  It's unclear whether Wolf's ballot will be counted as valid.

Voting Machine In New Jersey Doesnt Allow Votes For The Republican Running For Gov.  A voter in New Jersey filmed her experience with a voting machine on Tuesday when she tried to vote for the Republican running for governor, Jack Ciattarelli.  The woman is shown to be pressing the touch screen button for Ciattarelli but it won't take the vote.  She presses another button lower on the screen and it ends up working so the screen and machine seem to be operational but for the most important voting option on the ticket.  [Video clip]

GOP Poll Worker in 2020 Detroit: 'They Treated Me Like a Criminal!'  In a soon-to-be-released report, called "TCF Timeline - The 2020 General Election in Detroit," from Michigan Citizens for Election Integrity, author Phillip O'Halloran meticulously details the disturbing events at the absentee voter counting boards at the TCF Center in Detroit during the 2020 election, which can only be characterized as 'fraud.'  It's the story of a whistleblower, Jessy Jacob, who worked in ballot-counting and was appalled at what she saw.  Her story briefly was told in some of the press but not truly heard by the public given the pushback by mainstream media which claimed there was no fraud at all.  Michigan Citizens for Election Integrity (MC4EI) of which O'Halloran is a vice president of research, believes it is high time for her side of the story to get out more fully.

The Big Truth:  Election 2020 Really Was Rigged.  Mollie Hemingway has written a blockbuster book about all the strands of deception and falsehoods that converged to take down Donald Trump on Nov. 3 and 4 and beyond (and before) in her book:  Rigged:  How the Media, Big Tech and the Democrats Seized Our Elections (Regnery, 2021).  I twice asked two Barnes and Noble stores in two weeks whether they had it in stock, and each time — no.  So I finally had to order it online.  It has ten chapters, plus a prologue and an epilogue.  The total number of endnotes is 1,243 (I added them up), many having extensive commentaries.  Only a large and excellent team of researchers could put together a book like this, and she credits them by name in her acknowledgments.  Hemingway's conclusion:  It is clear that the Dem party has followed a pattern of cheating, inch by inch, for a long time.

Our Media Apparently Decides Who Won the NJ Gubernatorial Election.  Apparently, our corrupt media now calls elections and decides who wins.  The Associated Press called the race for New Jersey Governor.  Unsurprisingly, they called it for totalitarian progressive Phil Murphy.  They called it while an investigation is going on and 40,000 votes, giving Murphy the edge, miraculously appeared in Bergen County.  This was after 100% of the vote was reported in.  There is no way Red districts went for Murphy in this climate.  Yet, that appears to be what we are supposed to believe.  Murphy is 20,000 votes ahead of Republican opponent Jack Ciatarelli.  Why is the media calling races and why are they doing it before the investigation is completed?

U.S. Justice Department sues Texas over new voting law.  The U.S. Department of Justice is suing Texas over the state's new voting law, arguing that the some measures passed by the GOP-controlled Legislature earlier this year would "disenfranchise eligible Texas citizens who seek to exercise their right to vote."  The Texas voting law, known as Senate Bill 1 and signed into law by Gov. Greg Abbott in September, makes a host of changes that further tighten the state's election laws, such as banning drive-thru voting and setting new rules for voting by mail.  The Justice Department is focusing its suit on two provisions of the new law:  one related to assistance in voting booths and another related to the rejection of mail-in ballots.

Racine Co.  Sheriff refers criminal charges against five elections commissioners.  Racine County Sheriff Christopher Schmaling announced in a news release Wednesday that he had referred recommendations for criminal charges against five of the six members of the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) to Racine County District Attorney Patricia Hanson, a Republican.  Last week, Schmaling called a news conference to lay out allegations of election fraud against the commissioners but said he hadn't sent the investigation to the DA and was instead calling for a statewide investigation into the matter from Attorney General Josh Kaul.  After Kaul declined to open an investigation, Schmaling sent his recommendations, which include felony charges.  Schmaling and his investigator allege that when the WEC voted unanimously in Spring 2020 not to send special voting deputies (SVDs) into nursing home facilities because of the COVID-19 pandemic, they'd broken the law.  SVDs are pairs of people appointed by local election clerks to go to nursing homes to assist with voting.

NJ senate president now claims ballots have suddenly appeared in race with trucker who spent $153 on campaign.  A Republican truck driver who spent just $153 on his campaign and ran for office after he was denied a gun permit secured a stunning victory against the longest-serving legislative leader in New Jersey history in the state's elections — but the loser is disputing the results and claims more ballots were 'found' on Thursday [11/4/2021].  The election was held on Tuesday but Associated Press only called the race today after 100 percent of precincts had reported.  Underdog GOP candidate Ed Durr delivered a humiliating defeat to Democratic Senate President Steve Sweeney in South New Jersey's 3rd Legislative District by a razor thin margin of 52 percent of the vote to 48.

It's Official: 62-Year-Old Truck Driver Defeats 'One of the Most Powerful Democrats in New Jersey'.  A Republican truck driver in New Jersey who spent $153 on his entire campaign defeated 11-year incumbent Democrat Senate President Steve Sweeney; a crippling blow to progressives across the Garden State.  [Tweet]  "I didn't beat him.  We beat him," 62-year-old Ed Durr said on "Fox News Primetime" late Wednesday [11/3/2021].  "The state of New Jersey, the people of New Jersey beat him.  They listened to what I had to say and I listened to what they had to say, and it's a repudiation of Governor Murphy [who] went and locked us down and ignored the people's voice and senator Sweeney chose to do nothing for those 18 months."  [Tweet]

The Fascinating Story Behind Truck Driver Who Pulled Off Amazing Upset in NJ.  We've been writing about the amazing red wave during the elections last night.  But it's not just Republicans getting into office and booting Democrats out, there's a another underlying take on this wave — the outsiders who aren't lifetime politicians winning.  People who came in because they've just had enough of the professional politicians dictating to all of us as they have over the past year in regard to COVID and the Democratic narrative.  Real people who believe their obligation is to listen to the people and serve.  Imagine.  What a concept!

26,000 Dead People [are] Still Registered to Vote in Michigan, Lawsuit Alleges.  Theresa Domasiewicz, a one-time resident still listed as a registered voter in Michigan, would be 108 years old if she were alive today.  But she isn't, having died in May 2000.  Domasiewicz is among 25,975 dead people who remain on the state's voting rolls, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan.  Public Interest Legal Foundation, a conservative ethics watchdog, alleges in the lawsuit that Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, has not complied with the 1993 National Voter Registration Act.  That federal law says election officials must "conduct a general program that makes a reasonable effort to remove the names of ineligible voters from the official lists of eligible voters."  The legal group's analysis of the Michigan voting rolls found another registered voter who would be 100 years old today had she not died in 2000.

Woman In New Jersey Tries To Vote For The GOP Candidate But The Voting Machine Won't Let Her.  The New Jersey Governor race was called for the Democrat incumbent Phil Murphy but the allegations about the voting irregularities will go on!  The Republican National Committee has sent 20 elections lawyers to New Jersey!  Suspicions over voting irregularities in Bergen and Essex county have made headlines across the nation!  The latest example of voting machine malfeasance comes via the New Jersey governor's race, where one of the closest contests in the nation has been marred by voting anomalies.  This includes technical glitches with electronic poll books and reports that voting machines suddenly went down on Election Day.  The votes on those machines were not even counted.

The Editor says...
When the election is audited, it's likely we'll see that the "technical glitches" favored the Democrats.

Project Veritas Video Exposes 'Illegal Conduct' in One NJ Polling Location.  Project Veritas released a new video Wednesday [11/3/2021] showing New Jersey election workers breaking several laws in allowing a non-citizen, non-registered voter to cast a ballot in the gubernatorial election.  In the video, a man comes in to the East Orange, New Jersey, polling station telling the workers that he's an Irish citizen in the U.S. on a work visa and wants to vote.  He informs one worker he voted in the presidential election even though he wasn't registered.  "Remember, we were allowing anyone to come in," chimes in another worker.  That's the first broken law, Project Veritas points out:  "NJS 19:4-1," which states non-citizens can't vote or register to vote.

Why The Wisconsin Elder-Fraud Voting Story Has National Implications.  Last week, the Racine County, Wisconsin sheriff's office held a 75-minute press conference to announce the results of their investigation into absentee voting at residential care facilities.  As reported here, the press conference showed that the Wisconsin Election Commission illegally directed municipalities not to "use the Special Voting Deputy process to service residents in care facilities," but instead to "transmit absentee ballots to those voters by mail."  That illegal directive resulted in apparent violations of election law by employees of the Ridgewood Care Center, a Racine nursing home.  The evidence also suggests, at a minimum, the improper influence of elderly voters.  The significance of this story, however, spans much beyond the 72 counties comprising this midwestern state that broke by 20,682 votes to Joe Biden.  Rather, an honest review of the evidence presented by Sheriff Christopher Schmaling and lead investigator Sgt. Michael Luell exposes three significances of national importance.

NJ Gubernatorial Election Worker Lets A Non-Citizen Vote.  Project Veritas released a new video today [11/3/2021] exposing malfeasance that took place in the state's gubernatorial election, where an election worker was willing to provide a ballot to a Veritas journalist disguised as a non-citizen and non-registered voter.  In a conversation between two election workers, one of them affirmed to the other that there was no true voter verification occurring at that location during the presidential election — and supported providing a ballot to the Veritas journalist posing as a non-registered non-citizen.  "Remember, we were allowing anyone to come in," she said.  When addressing the Veritas journalist in disguise, one of the poll workers said she was willing to provide a ballot.  "I'll let you fill out completely a ballot now.  Whether or not it's going to count, I don't know," she said.  [Video clip]

New Jersey Voter Fraud Allegations.  With 83% of the votes counted in the state, Republican Ciattarelli held a statewide lead of 42,000 votes.  At this time, Bergen County, the largest county in New Jersey, claimed 100% reporting with Ciattarelli winning 52% of the vote.  Then things changed.  Minutes later, with 87% of the vote counted, the results in Bergen County changed and suddenly Murphy was reported ahead in the county with 51% of the vote.  Ciattarelli's 42,000 vote in the state also dwindled to a 1,600 vote lead at this time.  Some claim that this is a voter fraud and some claim that this is just a glitch or that the mail-in ballots are not counted in the total 100%!

Wow: A Voting Error Was Just Fixed in New Jersey and Jack Ciattarelli is Back Up in the Governor's Race.  A voting error was just fixed in New Jersey and GOP candidate Jack Ciattarelli is back up in the race after briefly trailing to incumbent Democratic Governor Phil Murphy. [...] As reported at Becker News earlier, there have been other anomalies in the New Jersey governor's race.  A disturbing phenomenon was observed by political watchers on election night:  Bergen County was seen flipping from GOP candidate Jack Ciattarelli to Dem candidate Phil Murphy after 100% of the votes were reported.  Screenshots taken from NY Times election reporting confirm that Bergen County's election support flipped from Ciattarelli to Murphy with 100% reported.  Earlier in the night, Bergen was 55/45 Ciattarelli with 40% reported in the county.

Hit the courts and fight hard!  Without vote fraud, Ciattarelli wins New Jersey hands down.  It won't be news to many that New Jersey is as crooked as a dog's hind leg.  This extends to its electoral system.  Thus can it be said assuredly that without vote fraud, the remarkably corrupt and fairly stupid Garden State governor, Goldman Sachs guy Phil Murphy, would have lost Tuesday's [11/2/2021] election hands down.  Murphy's challenger, Republican Jack Ciattarelli, has a slim advantage after late-counted votes have trimmed his margin.  As of this writing, he leads the incumbent 49.65 percent to 49.60 percent, with 97.51 percent of the precincts reporting.  It's a good bet at this point that more than enough votes will be "found" to put Murphy over the top.  After all, anyone who thinks spontaneous generation is a myth hasn't seen Democrat ballots magically appear in a car trunk or in a truck overnight.

Double-Counting? What Is This Vote-Counting Scheme We Have Going on in New Jersey?  This wasn't supposed to be competitive.  It wasn't supposed to be even a race.  Joe Biden heavily carried the state in 2020. Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy was supposed to cruise to re-election.  I'm sure the Murphy camp hoped to have a result by the end of last night.  It's not over yet.  Yes, Dave Wasserman of The Cook Political Report has called it — but it's not official yet.  It's a close one.  And even if King Murphy avoids regicide by the voters in the Garden State, there's still a lot of bad news to glean from this race.  [Tweets]

Virginia Dem caught tampering with voting site gets earful on 'fair elections' from police officer.  Fox News has obtained video footage of Democratic Virginia Del.  Chris Hurst getting pulled over by police after Hurst and another person were seen tampering with campaign signs outside a voting site less than 24 hours before Election Day.  "Want to explain your actions?" an officer with the Radford City Police Department is heard asking Hurst in police video obtained by Fox News.  "I don't think so," Hurst responds.  Hurst was pulled over on Monday evening [11/1/2021] by the Radford City Police Department after a deputy with the Radford Sheriff's office saw a woman tampering with campaign signs that were on display outside the city recreation center and then getting into a car Hurst was driving, according to Radford Sheriff Mark Armentrout earlier this week.

Get Smart About What Really Happened in the 2020 Election.  Failure to understand the complex architecture and confusing events of the 2020 election makes it more likely that something like it will happen again.  Indeed, the destabilizing forces at work in 2020 are emboldened by their success.  The philanthropic streams of money that fueled the 2020 outcome still exist.  They are looking toward 2022 midterm elections to do it all over again.  That is why it is important to understand the complex mechanics that steered the outcome in 2020, so they do not happen again, so they do not further destabilize our political process.  Two ingredients drove the outcome in 2020: First, private philanthropy injected into government election offices and, second, a banana-republic style suspension of agreed-upon election rules.  You didn't need much outright voter fraud when these two ingredients combined to poison the 2020 election.

Virginia GOP and Matt Schlapp claim some voters without masks kept from polls.  Reports of voters being blocked from casting their vote unless they wear a mask have surfaced as Election Day unfolds in Virginia.  The Virginia GOP claimed it has received reports of voters being refused entrance to polling places due to a mask requirement.  The state GOP told voters mask mandates at polling places is a violation of their rights.  "There have been several reports from voters who say they were told by poll workers that they are required to wear a mask in order to vote," the Virginia GOP tweeted.  "To be clear, if someone is not wearing a face covering they may NOT be turned away or refused their right to vote."

Here's a directive that should have been sent a week earlier:
Virginia elections chief scolds poll workers over reports maskless voters turned away.  The commissioner of the Virginia Department of Elections admonished poll workers after receiving reports of voters being turned away for not wearing masks.  "You may not turn voters away because they are not wearing masks," Chris Piper said in an email to poll workers on Tuesday [11/2/2021], adding that it "is not sufficient to offer curbside voting as an alternative."  Under Virginia Code 24.2-649.1, only a person with "a disability or who is age 65 or older" can be provided the option to vote curbside, according to Piper.

Mail-In Ballot Nightmare:  Lawsuits Filed As 300,000 Ballots Allegedly Impacted.  The Democratic Party of Virginia has filed a lawsuit contending that hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots could be caught up in the glacially-paced USPS mail delivery system, threatening to disenfranchise masses of voters and impact the commonwealth's tight gubernatorial race.  Last week, the party filed a lawsuit claiming that as many as 300,000 Virginians intend to cast their ballots in Tuesday's critical election by mail, but local USPS branches have failed to deliver ballots in time for voters to fill them out and return them by the deadline.  "Thousands of absentee ballots currently sit at postal facilities throughout the Commonwealth, unprocessed for weeks on end," the suit alleges, according to The Washington Times.  The USPS, for its part, insists that no such delays have occurred, and CNN reported Friday [10/29/2021] that it has agreed to provide daily election mail reports to all concerned parties.

The Editor says...
[#1] If you didn't get a mail-in ballot, it might be because you didn't ask for one.  [#2] If you didn't get a chance to vote by mail, you can still go to the polls and vote on Election Day.  It's called Election Day for a reason.  [#3] Democrats are about to lose on Tuesday, so now they are looking for any available excuse to extend the election for a week or two, or to claim that the election was stolen.

7 Insane Things I Just Learned About How U.S. Elections Are 'Rigged'.  [#7] Mail-In Balloting Is More Outrageous Than Anyone Can Imagine:  "Up to a quarter of a million votes were cast in Wisconsin's presidential election without any identification check at all," Mollie [Hemingway] writes on page 66.  I already knew a lot about how error-riddled mail-in voting is — I wrote about that when few would.  But just encountering this new fact and realizing this represented just one swing state was another mind-blowing moment for me about just how corruption-enabling and confidence-destroying are vote-by-mail-tainted elections. [...] Republicans expect to win a wave election in 2022.  How many points will they have to beat Democrats by to prove it?  How many dubious ballots will be produced or negotiated away by partisan election workers or judges?  How many urban areas run by Democrats will produce suspicious numbers of ballots that outweigh the votes in the rest of their states?  How many Republican voters will stay home because they can't trust elections run by some of the loosest rules in the developed world?

Milwaukee Police Open Investigation Into Illegal Ballot Harvesting During 2020 Elections.  The Racine County Sheriff's Office claims the Wisconsin Elections Commission improperly decided special voting deputies couldn't enter nursing homes to administer absentee votes, and alleges that opened the door for the improper use of absentee ballots.  Deputy Michael Luell said the sheriff's office forwarded his reports alleging laws were broken to the attorney general's office around March, but that the attorney general's office did not accept them.  He added that the sheriff's office has "been in conversations" with the district attorney but no charges have been filed.  [Video clip]

Wisconsin Sheriff Holds Press Conference Outlining 2020 Election and Ballot Fraud in Racine County.  Racine County Sheriff Christopher Schmaling and lead investigator Sgt. Michael Luell held a press briefing today [10/28/2021] outlining evidence of widespread election law violations in the state of Wisconsin.  According to a detailed investigation conducted by their office, election laws were violated in long-term care facilities and resulted in class I felony crimes being committed.  Part of the evidence outlined by Sergent Luell includes the Wisconsin Election Commission (WEC) sending instructions to residential care facilities in March 2020 telling administrators of the facilities to violate the law and fill out the ballots on behalf of their residents regardless of the legal ramifications.

Wisconsin Sheriff's Investigation:  Election Laws [were] Not Just Broken but 'Shattered' During [the] 2020 Election.  Racine County Sheriff Christopher Schmaling announced today [10/28/2021] the results of an investigation into election law problems in Racine County and Wisconsin.  "Election statute was in fact not just broken, but shattered by members of the Wisconsin Elections Commission," Schmaling said.  Schmaling and Sgt. Michael Luell, who led the investigation, said that they determined that eight people were living at the Ridgewood Care Center who had diminished capacity and who couldn't even recognize family members at the Ridgewood Care Center had nonetheless voted by mail-in ballots.  The investigation began on the complaint of one woman who said her mother voted despite not even being able to recognize her and beginning to hallucinate.

Biden and the Democrats are Undermining the Rule of Law.  An intriguing and distressing feature of the Biden administration and congressional Democrats is both having a propensity for law breaking and lawmaking.  They're different sides of the same coin. [...] What, after all, is the "For the People Act" but a federalization of state elections for the purpose of granting Democrats naked partisan advantages in future elections?  It's a gambit to entrench one-party rule.  It's banana republic worthy. [...] If Democrats ever pass this monstrosity, what, then, are the consequences for at least half the country?  Answer:  Disenfranchisement.  That's not merely a perception that one's vote doesn't count, it's actually one's vote not counting in a rigged system.  So malevolent an offense against so fundamental a right will cause tens of millions of citizens to regard all law as suspect, if not outright counterfeit. [...] It isn't hyperbole to state that H.R. 1 in itself is a recipe for national tumult and subsequent disintegration.

County sheriff in Wisconsin reveals evidence of felony election law violations.  The sheriff of Racine County in Wisconsin, Christopher Schmaling, presented evidence Thursday of felony election law violations in the county during the 2020 election.  Schmaling came out swinging against members of the Wisconsin Elections Commission, by whom he said "election statute was in fact not just broken, but shattered."  The sheriff's office received a complaint from a relative of a nursing home resident who died in October 2020.  Despite suffering from severe cognitive decline prior to her passing, though, she still somehow managed to cast a vote via absentee ballot in the 2020 presidential election, according to state records.  The nursing home resident lived at the Ridgewood Care Facility.  Following a complaint by the deceased resident's daughter, who found it suspicious that her mother was able to vote given her condition at the time, Racine County Sgt. Michael Luell launched an investigation.

Demand for forensic audits of 2020 election in all 50 states rapidly gaining support.  Arizona state Sen. Wendy Rogers, a Republican, published a letter to the American people following the release of the Maricopa County audit results on Sept. 24 calling for forensic audits of all 50 states' 2020 election results.  Originally signed by 41 state legislators from 15 states, the letter has now, less than a month later, been signed by 150 lawmakers from 38 states. [...] Although the number of those who have signed is growing, it is still miniscule compared to the total number of state legislators in the U.S.  As of Sept. 30, 2021, there were 7,383 state legislative seats — the majority of which are Republican, Ballotpedia reports.  After the 2020 Election, there are 19 state houses controlled by Democrats and 29 controlled by Republicans.  The call for ongoing election audits has been described by Democrats and the mainstream media as a circus, a lost cause, a failed attempt, misinformation, and even a "fake election audit."

Fulton County Georgia Ordered More Than One Million Absentee Ballots from Printer Days Before the 2020 Election.  More shocking news on Runbeck printing company which supplied ballots to both Arizona and Georgia.  We've already made some shocking observations about Runbeck — the Arizona printing company involved in the 2020 Election in both Arizona and Georgia.  We know that Runbeck shipped thousands of ballots to the same guy in Georgia who was behind the calls of a water main break in Atlanta and who was behind the removal of the whistleblower from working in Georgia elections. [...] We also know that ballots in Georgia were different for Democrat and Republican areas.  This was done by the printer. [...] It makes no sense why Fulton County would need over a million absentee ballots for the 2020 Election only days before Election Day knowing that they would never be mailed out.

At Election Time, Virginia Is for Liars.  [Scroll down]  Most recently, some of the worst lies have been emanating from Virginia, where former Democrat Gov. Terry McAuliffe is in a tight race with Republican businessman Glenn Youngkin to see who will replace Ralph Northam as governor.  Because the race is the highest profile election prior to the 2022 midterms, it is being looked upon as a litmus test for how popular Democrat policies are now that Joe Biden has come out of the closet as a tyrannical socialist and globalist whose FBI wants to lock up moms and dads who protest at school board meetings.  The election is such an important off-year litmus test that Democrats will stop at nothing to win it.  Their desperation was evident in a manipulative, lying ad paid for by VoteVets.org, a left-wing political action committee that tried to smear Youngkin by implying that he and his voters supported the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

How Virginia Democrats Are Working To Make Elections Sloppy Again.  Virginia's gubernatorial race is seen as a national bellwether.  With the most recent polls showing Republican Glenn Youngkin, a former underdog, tied with his Democrat rival Terry McAuliffe, the outcome of the Nov. 2, 2021 election seems sure to rest on the smallest of margins.  The more important trend for Americans to consider, however, lies not in the tight election, nor even in the party affiliation of the eventual victor, but on efforts by local election officials to violate state law to profit their preferred candidate.  A lawsuit filed last Wednesday in the Circuit Court of Fairfax County, Virginia against the county registrar and three members of the Fairfax County Electoral Board exposed election officials' ongoing disregard for state election law.  In the plaintiffs' concise 10-page complaint, the Virginia Institute for Public Policy (VIPP), a public-policy organization dedicated to election integrity, alleged the "Defendants are accepting and approving applications for absentee and mail-in ballots that do not include information required by Virginia law, namely, the last four digits of the applicant's Social Security number."

Demand for forensic audits of 2020 election in all 50 states rapidly gaining support.  Arizona state Sen. Wendy Rogers, a Republican, published a letter to the American people following the release of the Maricopa County audit results on Sept. 24 calling for forensic audits of all 50 states' 2020 election results.  Originally signed by 41 state legislators from 15 states, the letter has now, less than a month later, been signed by 150 lawmakers from 38 states.  Claiming that "our representative republic suffered a corrupted 2020 election," the letter states:  "In addition to Arizona, sworn affidavits have accumulated from many states detailing rampant corruption and mismanagement in the election process.  Fraud and inaccuracies have already been shown through multiple audits and canvasses in multiple states, as well as through lawsuits challenging the validity of election results in several counties in multiple states.

Questions Surfacing in 2020 Election Lawsuit About Who Exactly Was Controlling the Election Systems, Contractors or Government.  Emerald Robinson has detailed a court filing in Colorado against Dominion Election Services.  Within the filing there are some very interesting details worth reviewing: ["] [...] For example, Georgia paid [Dominion] roughly $90,000,000 for a complete, end-to-end election solution in their Master Solution contract.  In the Master Solution, Georgia specifically stated "[t]he unique abilities, knowledge, and skills of [Dominion] constitute a material inducement for State entering into this Agreement."  Such reliance and partnership between [Dominion] and States, according to which [Dominion] itself takes the place of the government, makes [Dominion's] conduct of elections and all its related activities a state-action.  The administration, collection, counting, recording, and auditing of ballot results in elections are inherently a traditional, exclusive public function.  So not only have these Americans received Letters from a corporate citizen with tens of millions in annual revenue and private equity support, but they have also been threatened by, in effect, the government itself."["]

The U.S. Government & The Third-Party Vendor Are One.  Earlier this month, a rather extraordinary lawsuit was filed in Colorado on behalf of eight Michigan poll watchers against the most infamous third-party vendor in the world.  (For the duration of this article, let's call that overly litigious entity:  Opinion Voting Systems or OVS.)  The details contained in that lawsuit are striking for a number of reasons, and not the least of them is the "Lawfare" strategy that OVS employed to silence any criticism of the company.  This "lawsuit warfare" campaign was so extensive that it (allegedly) chilled the free speech of regular Americans who volunteered as poll watchers and didn't make any public statements about the company at all:  As part of this campaign, OVS publicly boasted, with the assistance of Hamilton Place Strategies, LLC ("HPS") — OVS's Public Relations Firm — on its website and in interviews that its lawyers, Clare Locke, LLP ("Clare Locke") sent letters to over 150 individuals demanding they cease and desist from "taking part in defaming OVS and to preserve all documents and communications that may be relevant to OVS's [unspecified] pending claims" and threatened ruinous "imminent" litigation — even if the recipients of the letters did not make any public statements about OVS.  These were odd and intimidating letters.  They informed people that the letter was "your formal notice to cease and desist taking part in defaming OVS and to preserve all documents and communications" without listing exactly where or how the person had "defamed" OVS in any way.

Audits Restore Faith in Elections.  Glenn Youngkin, the Virginia Republican nominee for governor, is calling for an "audit" of the state's voting machines.  The former co-CEO of the Carlyle group says:  "I grew up in a world where you have an audit every year, in businesses you have an audit.  So let's just audit the voting machines, publish it so everybody can see it."  Kari Lake, a former Phoenix news anchor whose candidacy for governor of Arizona has been endorsed by Donald Trump, said she would not have certified the 2020 election results in the state.  She cited "serious irregularities and problems with the election".  What she didn't do was directly allege fraud — and that was smart.  The official results showed Trump lost Arizona by some 10,000 votes out of some 3.4 million votes cast.  A just-released forensic audit of Maricopa County's result ordered by the GOP-controlled Arizona State Senate recounted about 2.1 million ballots cast in the county.  It found 261 fewer ballots for Trump and 99 more for Biden than county had, prompting critics to declare the audit both irresponsible and a waste of time.

Barack Obama Signals That Democrats Intend to Cheat in the Virginia Governor's Election.  Barack Obama has signaled not-so-subtly that the Democrats fully intend to cheat in the Virginia governor's election.  In front of a modest crowd at a ticketed event at Virginia Commonwealth University, the former president endorsed gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe and emphasized repeatedly that voters can cast their ballots for him in the mail or at drop boxes. [...] While dozens of McAuliffe organizers and supporters turned out, many of them without masks, the Democratic Party continues to act like the coronavirus pandemic is stopping a significant number of voters from going to polling places in-person.  The same Virginians that go to supermarkets and Virginia University home football games are being treated as if voting is a special case requiring no-excuse mass absentee ballots, which have been shown repeatedly to cause serious questions about election integrity and the validity of election results.

Arizona Airline Workers Organize 'Freedom Rally'.  [Scroll down]  Doug Ducey needs to call a special session to stop the illegal mandates and decertify the fraudulent 2020 election.  All Americans need to contact Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich and demand a full investigation into the 2020 election with immediate arrests of the criminals involved.  Brnovich's office received all the evidence of fraud presented by the Arizona audit 29 days ago and America is still waiting.

Election Fraud Investigation Hesitancy in Michigan.  [Scroll down]  What part of "election security" do they not understand?  The legacy media spout the notion that the 2020 election was the most secure in history.  In fact, it was the least secure election.  In a soon to be released, explosive inside report on the events that occurred at the TCF Center in Detroit during the 2020 election, author Phil O'Halloran explores in gritty detail the egregious violations of state election laws and statues in Michigan, major security breaches, illegalities, intimidation, and verbal as well as physical abuse of GOP challengers.  O'Halloran was present at the TCF Center and was an eyewitness to what occurred. [...] The response from the Republican Michigan legislators who dominate the state House and Senate has been tepid at best and AWOL at worst.  Michigan grassroots conservative patriots have sadly experienced the death of outrage in their beloved state.

AG Garland Says He's "Not Aware" Zuckerberg Poured Over $400 Million to Interfere in the 2020 Presidential Election and Takeover Polling Places.  US Attorney General Merrick Garland on Thursday [10/21/2021] testified before the House Judiciary Committee on the Justice Department's mission and policies.  Prior to the 2020 election, Zuckerburg dumped over $400 million to hijack the elections nationwide.  Arizona received nearly $3 million Zuckerbucks to run their election and Georgia received nearly $5.6 million Zuckerbucks.  Garland defended the 2020 election and even threatened states who thought about auditing their elections.  Garland's wife is an election specialist with connections to non-profits attempting to prevent any election audits of the 2020 Presidential Election and Ms. Garland co-wrote an article with the Brennan Center and Verified Voting.  She knows all about the nonprofits, CTCL, and Mark Zuckerburg's generous "donation".

These are the same people who want to keep track of your bank transactions over $600.  Do you really think the Attorney General is unaware of the way Mr. Zuckerburg spends his money?

Democrats Are Trying to Prevent a Huge Red Wave in 2022.  How do you know that Democrats think they will lose the House majority in the midterms?  Because they are already crafting the excuse.  Earlier this week, failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams was stumping for Terry McCullough in Virginia.  Once again, she was confident she should be the governor of Georgia and would have been if not for voter suppression.  Then Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer brought S. 2747, also known as the Freedom to Vote Act, up for a cloture vote.  Republicans filibustered the bill, unanimously voting against it.  The bill is Sen. Joe Manchin's (D-W.Va.) "compromise" legislation to replace the For the People Act.  When you hear it is a compromise bill, you may assume Republicans were on board.  According to Jason Snead, Executive Director of the Honest Elections Project, Manchin's only compromises were between the left and the radical left.

The Empire of Lies Breaks Down:  Ugly Truths the Deep State Wants to Keep Hidden.  [#8] If voting made any difference, they wouldn't let us do it.  [#9] America's shadow government — which is comprised of unelected government bureaucrats, corporations, contractors, paper-pushers, and button-pushers who are actually calling the shots behind the scenes right now and operates beyond the reach of the Constitution with no real accountability to the citizenry — is the real reason why "we the people" have no control over our government.

Biden's Inexplicable Victory.  The political establishment's narrative is that Biden won an unexpectedly close race, and the outcome requires no further examination.  Yet, Biden's victory is so statistically suspicious, so riddled with ahistorical outcomes, that a detailed data examination is necessary to reassure Americans the official result was, in fact, the actual result.  Official tallies record 161.3 million votes cast in 2020.  Donald Trump got 75 million of those votes, 12.1 million above his 2016 total, and the most votes ever received by an incumbent president.  Joe Biden received 81.2 million votes, the most votes for anyone who has sought the presidency.

Your votes have been stolen with algorithms and computers since 2000.  One of the biggest questions I've had has been why has it been and is it so difficult to get people in power to see the fraud in this and prior elections?  Why do they just issue blanket denials of "no evidence" when there are mountains of it?  Why do they turn a blind eye?  The answer to that question is now obvious to me.  They all know.  They have long known.  Countless politicians entrenched in power have known for years the votes are manipulated by "powers that be" — not according to the will of the voters.  Just imagine the billions of dollars in the campaigning/election industry alone, the RNC, the DNC, that is all a sham.  Our votes are not deciding our elections.  Nefarious people/communists are.  Witnesses, including one brave whistleblower who created an algorithm to rig an election, have told government officials for years.  [Video clip]

Did Joe Biden Even Win His Home State of Delaware?  A group called Patriots for Delaware has been conducting some audit work of that state's 2020 election results.  While it's unclear whether they will ultimately find enough votes to sway the outcome — and thus change the rightful winner of that state's three electoral votes — they're finding a lot of evidence that the election was not on the up-and-up.  Delaware should have been a shoo-in for Joe Biden, its his home state after all, yet he only won by 95,665 votes.  That's not a razor-thin margin like we saw in Georgia or Arizona, but it's not exactly a blowout for the traditionally blue state.  Here's what the group Patriots for Delaware found.  The group announced Thursday that it has audited approximately 50,000 votes so far.  Out of the first 50,000 audited votes, about 20,000 of the ballots were fraudulent.  40% of the votes audited so far were fake.  If that statistic holds through the remainder of the votes, it means that there is no question that Donald Trump actually won Joe Biden's home state.

A cybersecurity option for the 2022 elections.  If voting machines are connected to the internet, they can be hacked.  While there is evidence that there were cyberattacks in all 50 states, the sad truth almost a year after the 2020 election debacle is that our voting machines are still connected to the internet.  We are still vulnerable to cyberattacks in our future elections.  Now is the time to take steps to prevent future cyber election fraud.  Minimizing or eliminating their internet connectivity for the 2022 elections is still possible with some prudent steps that we can take now.  Let's review three options to count votes without an internet connection: [...]

The Memory Hole Is As Deep As the Swamp Is Wide.  The Maricopa Co. audit ended one week ago as I finish this.  In less than 12 hours, corporate media narrative police (they call themselves "fact-checkers") were on it like ugly on an ape.  They told us it not only "confirmed Biden's win" but actually gave him more votes!  How they came by that is anybody's guess!  We peasants were clearly not supposed to hear of the irregularities Cyber Ninjas dug up.  By the middle of last week there were only a handful of sites (e.g., Deep Capture, Patrick Byrne's site), where you could find anything specific and useful.  Such as:
  •   57,734 problematic ballots, the problems being (for example) improper voter registration.  This alone is enough to cast doubt on the results, since even the approved narrative gives Biden "victory" by just 10,457 votes.
  •   Additional problems the tech company uncovered included backdated registrations, multiple voter registrations linked to the same voter affidavit, voters without records in a commercial database, and printing defects rendering thousands of ballots suspicious.
  •   The 57,734 problematic ballots amount to only one tenth to one fifth of all the questionable ballots.
Does this prove there was fraud?  It surely proves there were sufficient problems to question giving Biden Arizona's electoral votes, given that Maricopa Co., where metropolitan Phoenix is located, is the most populous county in the state.

Election Fraud Is Alive and Well in 2021.  [Scroll down]  Michigan became the center of considerable controversy in 2020 after Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson sent out unsolicited absentee ballot applications to every registered voter in the state, and illegally instructed election clerks to presume the accuracy of absentee ballot signatures.  These actions, combined with other irregularities involving the refusal to allow election observers access to polling places or the ability to monitor vote counts, prompted the Michigan legislature to pass several measures aimed at improving election integrity.  The bills included provisions that would have made it a felony to apply for multiple absentee ballots or to fill out applications for others without their consent.  All were passed by both houses of the legislature in lopsided bipartisan votes.  Yet, without a blush, Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer summarily vetoed the legislation.

AG Garland's Wife Worked at Heavily Classified Defense Contractor 'E-Systems' Then Focused on Elections Before the 2020 Election.  Attorney General Merrick Garland's wife is heavily connected to those running the 2020 Election and attempting to prevent audits of the 2020 Election.  Her prior work with defense contractor E-Systems is even more suspicious.  Crooked US Attorney General, Merrick Garland, has a son-in-law who's pushing racist CRT around the country and likely making millions doing so.  This is the same stuff that parents are fed up with and don't want to be taught to their children. [...] Then we uncovered on Friday [10/15/2021] the fact that Biden's Attorney General Merrick Garland's wife is heavily connected with all the far-left players involved in the 2020 Election and those who attempted to stop any audits of that election. [...] Now we have to ask what the US Attorney General's wife was doing with E-Systems and what impact this has had on the Attorney General as well.  AG Garland may have more conflicts of interest than we can count.

Operatives Manufactured Votes from Low Income Voters to Steal the Battleground States.  In 2020 President Trump won more votes than any sitting president in US history.  Trump increased his vote totals by 12 million votes in 2020 over 2016.  Biden got a record low number of counties in the United States by a supposed "winner" — only 16%. [...] But somehow Democrat Joe Biden, who did not campaign and can barely string two sentences together, supposedly won 81 million votes.  The same guy who can't get 20 people to come out and see him when he travels around the US.  So how did Joe do it?  How did Democrats steal the 2020 election?

Zuckerbucks 101: How A Media Mogul Took Over The 2020 Election And Why GOP Leaders Must Never Let It Happen Again.  Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis reaffirmed his state's commitment to election integrity on Tuesday, especially keeping tech giants and their partisan CEOs from corrupting local elections.  Given what we know now about how Mark Zuckerberg and other left-wing actors commandeered election operations in blue hubs of swing states in 2020, other states would do well to follow DeSantis's lead — and Wisconsin is a good case study in why.  No conversation about 2020 election integrity — or about the integrity of future elections, for that matter — is complete without understanding the full picture of how Facebook CEO Zuckerberg strategically bankrolled and staffed local government election offices, which are in charge of voter registration, voting, and vote counting.  He did this through two primary front groups, a process Federalist Senior Editor Mollie Hemingway painstakingly outlines in her new book out this week, "Rigged:  How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats Seized Our Elections."

Did Mark Zuckerberg Buy the Oval Office for Joe Biden?  Last week, a study by Dr. William Doyle, from the Caesar Rodney Election Research Institute, that appeared in The Federalist presented some starling discoveries pertaining to the presidential election of 2020.  The study revealed that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and his wife Priscilla Chan donated nearly $419 million to nonprofit originations that aided in the administration and infrastructure of the 2020 election.  These donations were specifically made to The Center for Technology and Civic Life (CTCL) and The Center for Election Innovation and Research (CEIR).  These organizations claimed to be both non-partisan and non-profit.  However, there is a lot more here than meets the eye.  How did the CTCL and CEIR use their funds?  To begin with, the CTCL actively lobbied for the promotion of universal mail-in voting and extending deadlines that favored mail-in over in-person voting using COVID-19 as a reason.  This probably contributed to most states changing their rules around voting, with nine states and the District of Columbia sending mail-in ballots to all active registered voters.

President Trump Highlights Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai Math and Pattern Analysis of Mail-in Ballots in Pima County Arizona.  Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai, MIT PhD, was part of the forensic audit group that looked at ballots in the Maricopa County audit of Arizona.  Expanding his review, Dr. Ayyadurai also provided a mathematical and pattern analysis of mail-in ballot requests and mail-in ballot return rates in Pima County, AZ in 2020 U.S. general election.  What Dr. Ayyadurai discovered is quite remarkable and would seem to prove that specific precincts within Pima County were used to dump ballots into the county election system.  The average rate of ballot return in Pima County was 87%.  However there were 40 very unusual precincts with more than a 97% return rate of mail-in ballots, and there were two precincts that were over 100% rate of return.  They counted more ballots than they shipped.

Feds charge former Dem staffer for years-long election fraud scheme.  Federal prosecutors have charged an ex-staffer in a Philadelphia city councilman's office with election fraud.  The staffer allegedly participated in a "conspiracy" purportedly with a former Democrat congressman who is only identified in legal filings as Consultant #1.  Marie Beren, 67, who retired from the job with Democrat council member Mark Squilla in September, reportedly faces four counts of voter fraud and related charges.

Chuck Schumer Pushes For Vote On Election Bill to Weaken "Conservative-Controlled States".  Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is trying to make sure that Republicans never win another election.  On Thursday [10/14/2021], the Democrat announced that he would set a vote for next Wednesday to begin debate on election laws.  "We cannot allow conservative-controlled states to double down on their regressive and subversive voting bills," Schumer said in a letter.  "The Freedom to Vote Act is the legislation that will right the ship of our democracy and establish common sense national standards to give fair access to our democracy to all Americans."

MI Nursing Home Employee, Caregiver of "legally incapacitated persons" Charged With Submitting 26 Absentee Ballot Applications.  Three Detroit area women have been charged with election fraud in relation to the 2020 election.  100 Percent Fed Up reports — Michigan's dirty Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson had a curious response to the charges, calling it a "rare case."  "Our election system is secure, and today's charges demonstrate that in the rare circumstances when fraud occurs we catch it and hold the perpetrators accountable."  Benson added, "These charges also send a clear message to those who promote deceitful claims about widespread fraud:  the current protocols we have in place work to protect and ensure the integrity of our elections.  It's time to share that truth and stop spreading lies to the contrary."  If Michigan's dishonest Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and Attorney General Dana Nessel are serious about holding everyone in her state accountable for voter fraud, then why is Democrat City Clerk Sherikia Hawkins, who was charged in 2018 with 6 counts of felony voter fraud related to absentee voting in Southfield, MI, still working as a city clerk?

Mark Zuckerberg spent $419M on nonprofits ahead of 2020 election — and got out the Dem vote.  During the 2020 election, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg spent hundreds of millions of dollars to turn out likely Democratic voters.  But this wasn't traditional political spending.  He funded a targeted, private takeover of government election operations by nominally nonpartisan — but demonstrably ideological — nonprofit organizations.  Analysis conducted by our team demonstrates this money significantly increased Joe Biden's vote margin in key swing states.  In places like Georgia, when Biden won by 12,000 votes, and Arizona, where he won by 10,000, the spending likely put him over the top.  This unprecedented merger of public-election offices with private resources and personnel is an acute threat to our republic and should be the focus of electoral-reform efforts moving forward.  The 2020 election wasn't stolen — it was likely bought by one of the world's wealthiest and most powerful men pouring his money through legal loopholes.

What happened during the 2020 election must be investigated and discussed.  [Scroll down]  From 2016 through 2020, the easiest way to achieve stardom on the political left was to loudly proclaim one's belief that the 2016 election was illegitimate — stolen by the Russians on behalf of a corrupt traitor.  Conspiracy-mongering, up to and including the assertion that the president of the United States was a secret Russian spy, was the highest form of patriotism.  And then 2020 happened.  At the drop of a hat, America's electoral system went from irredeemably corrupt and broken in 2016 to unquestionably safe in 2020.  Voting methods that were allegedly used to steal elections in 2004 and 2016 suddenly became sacrosanct and unquestionable in 2020.  Whereas so-called election experts repeatedly warned pre-2020 about the pitfalls of electronic voting and widespread mail-in balloting, by November 2020 any discussion about the vulnerabilities of those methods was written off as the stuff of right-wing cranks and conspiracy-mongers.

Georgia election workers fired, accused of destroying voting applications; Raffensperger demands DOJ probe.  President Joe Biden won the state of Georgia by less than 12,000 votes, and the most populous county in the state, Fulton County, which includes Atlanta, has fired two election workers for allegedly shredding voting applications in the past two weeks despite a state law requiring officials to preserve elections documents related to primary or general elections for 24 months after the election.  "Preliminary review suggests that employees may have checked out batches of applications for processing.  Instead of fully processing them, in some instances the employees allegedly shredded some of the forms.  Fellow employees reported this behavior to their supervisor on Friday morning and the employees were terminated the same day," read a statement released by the county.

Michigan charges three women with election fraud during 2020 election.  Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has charged three women with crimes related to attempted voter fraud in the 2020 general election.  Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and Nessel argued the charges show that when "rare" election fraud happens, the current safeguards stop it.  "These cases highlight the scrutiny applications and ballots undergo throughout the election process, as well as the thorough investigative process that ensues when instances of attempted fraud are suspected," Nessel said in a statement.  Procedurally, reports of voter fraud are often first reported to local law enforcement or the Michigan Bureau of Elections (BOE) for initial investigation and then routed to the Michigan State Police (MSP) or Department of Attorney General (DAG) if investigators believe a crime occurred.

The Editor says...
State officials claim that the prosecution of a few minor players proves there was no widespread voter fraud.  That is not necessarily true, to put it generously.

There is no point in hoping the next election will be magically less fraudulent than the last one.  [Scroll down]  Your votes didn't matter in the 2020 presidential election, they didn't matter in the California recall, they won't matter in the Virginia gubernatorial election, and they won't matter next year. [...] This huge Time-documented conspiracy only half-expected to get away with stealing the election from Donald Trump.  They discovered unexpected allies in three vital places:  First, the courts, including the Supreme Court, refused to hear a single case of election fraud on the merits.  They dismissed all the cases for lack of evidence or standing, which was much safer than letting the plaintiffs present their evidence in court.  Second, the Department of Justice was happy to say they'd found no evidence of election fraud, without drawing attention to the fact they hadn't been looking.  They had to be dragged kicking and screaming to any investigation at all:  How many of you are aware that it was the relentless pressure of private citizens in Yuma, Arizona, who provided photographic evidence that the Justice Department couldn't ignore, which led to indictments (so far two public) for vote fraud in the 2020 election?  But even as the government was forced to charge the little people who were getting paid to collect ballots and cast them illegally, they assiduously refused to investigate where that money came from.

Exclusive book excerpt:  How Facebook and Twitter rigged the game in 2020.  Donald Trump's 2016 victory was a shock to much of the country, but Silicon Valley took it especially hard.  The progressive bastion of San Francisco had turned tech companies from libertarian idealists into liberal crusaders.  The industry as a whole felt complicit in Donald Trump's rise and was intent on doing everything in its power to suppress his voice and those of his supporters.  From the beginning, the tech overlords were plotting how to strike back.  In one meeting, Google founder Sergey Brin suggested that "Jigsaw," a project Google had developed to combat Islamic terror propaganda, could be used to shape the opinions of Trump voters.  By the time Trump was inaugurated, a former Google engineer had told Breitbart reporter Allum Bokhari that activists within the company had formed a working group to brainstorm ways to use Google's resources to undermine the Trump administration.

Coomer Deposition Released!  Verifies Antifa Facebook Posts, Extreme Left Bias.  Eric Coomer is the former Director of Security and Product Strategy for Dominion Voting Systems.  After the 2020 election debacle, where votes in at least five states had very suspicious results while running Dominion computer systems, center-right journalists made common-sense observations that the results appeared rigged.  One journalist, who had infiltrated a conference call filled with Antifa-sympathizing callers, remembered that on the call "Eric from Dominion" was going to ensure that Trump did not win re-election.  The mainstream media has spent a year bullying and suppressing the thousands of eyewitnesses, filed affidavits, investigations and proceedings meant to uncover the big fraud.  Instead, they call all speculation as to what caused sleepy Joe Biden to make magical 2 a.m. leaps of hundreds of thousands of votes, propelling him to victory, the "big lie."

The 2020 Election Wasn't Stolen, It Was Bought By Mark Zuckerberg.  During the 2020 election, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg spent hundreds of millions of dollars to turn out likely Democratic voters.  But this wasn't traditional political spending.  He funded a targeted, private takeover of government election operations by nominally non-partisan — but demonstrably ideological — non-profit organizations.  Analysis conducted by our team demonstrates this money significantly increased Joe Biden's vote margin in key swing states.  This unprecedented merger of public election offices with private resources and personnel is an acute threat to our republic, and should be the focus of electoral reform efforts moving forward.  The 2020 election wasn't stolen — it was likely bought by one of the world's wealthiest and most powerful men pouring his money through legal loopholes.

The Editor says...
Yeah, maybe the election was bought and paid for, but it was also stolen.  Did Mr. Zuckerberg give the order to have the voting stop simultaneously in four swing states in the wee hours of November 4th, so Joe Biden's team could find out what they needed to catch up?  Apparently somebody gave that order, and it was somebody with a lot of clout in the highest levels of the Democrat Party.

Fulton County election employees fired for allegedly shredding voter applications.  Two elections officials in Fulton County, Georgia, were fired Friday after they allegedly shredded voter registration forms.  The county announced Monday that the pair of employees were reported by a colleague to a superior for allegedly shredding voter registration applications received within the last two weeks.  They were fired the same day, and the Fulton County Election Commission reported the incident to Georgia's secretary of state.  The employees allegedly checked out the files for processing but shredded some of the forms instead, according to a statement from Fulton County Registration and Elections Director Richard Barron. [...] Georgia Secretary of State Ben Raffensperger put the number of shredded ballots at 300 and called on the U.S. Justice Department to investigate Fulton County.

Over 284,000 Ballots, or 1 Out of Every 10th Maricopa County Ballot, Lacked Evidence That It Was the Original Ballot Received.  Over 284,000 ballots in Maricopa County are missing their original corresponding image.  One out of every 10 Maricopa County ballot in the 2020 Election is missing its original ballot image.  A new video from Jovan Pulitzer shows that the original ballot image for over 284,000 Maricopa County ballots is missing.  This is one out of every 10th ballot.

Georgia asks DOJ to investigate largest county over alleged destruction of election documents.  Georgia's top election official on Monday [10/11/2021] demanded that the U.S. Justice Department open an investigation into election management in the state's largest county after officials in Fulton County disclosed they had shredded at least 300 voter applications for its upcoming municipal elections in apparent violation of the law.  Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger's office told Just the News that his office had also opened an inquiry into the disclosure by Fulton County officials but believed it was time for federal prosecutors to review chronic election irregularities inside the state's largest county, which includes the city of Atlanta.

More Americans Than Ever Believe It is 'Likely' Cheating Took Place in 2020 Election.  Joe Biden's presidency is still being haunted by lingering doubts that the 2020 election was as free and fair as the corporate media insist.  A new Rasmussen poll highlighted in the Washington Examiner reports that 56% of Americans surveyed believe "It's likely that cheating affected the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, including 41% who say it's 'very likely.'"  This is a significant increase from April, Paul Bedard notes, when 51% of respondents said it was 'likely' that cheating took place in the presidential election.  Thus, the mass censorship of Americans who question the election, including former President Donald Trump himself, only appears to be exacerbating doubts.

The CIA "Continued the Effort to Try to Destroy Trump and They Realized the Only Way They Could Do It Was They Had to Steal the Election".  Former CIA and State Department employee Larry Johnson was on with Joe Hoft and Kell Brazil at Real Talk 93.3 out of St.  Louis this morning.  Larry discussed the beginnings of Obama's Deep State actions against candidate and President Donald Trump this morning.  When Obama's Ethics Czar Norm Eisen was discussed and his efforts and the CIA's efforts using methods against President Trump before the 2016 Election through the 2020 Election, here is part of what Johnson responded:  ["]What we saw was the law enforcement and intelligence assets of the US government, instead of serving to protect the interests of the US people, were turned and used in the most abhorent, partisan ways to attack a Presidential candidate to discredit him.  Despite all their efforts they initially failed in 2016.  But they didn't stop.  They continued the effort to try to destroy Trump and they realized the only way they could do it was they had to steal the election.["]

Oh, So That's What Happened to Trump's Lawsuit in Pennsylvania.  A forthcoming book from bestselling author Mollie Hemingway seeks to set the record straight on what really happened before, during, and after the 2020 election that made the cycle a fraught experience as institutions exerted heavy-handed influence over the process that ended as some of those within Trump's inner circle caused self-inflicted wounds to the president's legal efforts.  An excerpt from "Rigged:  How the Media, Big Tech, and the Democrats Seized Our Elections" sheds light on what went wrong with President Trump's legal challenge to election results in Pennsylvania, one of the pivotal cases that determined the winner of the 2020 election.  Hemingway shares the details — obtained exclusively by Townhall — of how the case unraveled from one where Trump's team had the facts on their side and a judge who was open to hearing arguments to one that quickly received a blistering dismissal.  According to Hemingway, progress being made by Trump's lawyers went south after Rudy Giuliani was tapped to spearhead the president's legal efforts following the Trump team's failures in Arizona.

Asked by Chris Wallace if election was stolen, GOP Whip Steve Scalise answers with the truth.  House Minority Whip Steve Scalise cast some doubt on the 2020 presidential election when he was pressed Sunday by Fox News host Chris Wallace on whether former President Donald Trump's continued claims that the election was stolen from him are legitimate.  The discussion between the two men came hours after the former president reiterated his claims of a stolen election during a rally held in Des Moines, Iowa.  "They used Covid in order to cheat and rig.  Remember this is not about me being robbed of an election.  This is about the American people having their country taken away from them," Trump reportedly said.

The Left Got What It Wanted — So Now What?  [Scroll down]  What did all that madness achieve?  Mostly, the first election in U.S. history in which over 100 million ballots were not cast on Election Day.  Strangely, with such an avalanche of ballots, the usual error rate of absentee balloting dived from around 2-4 percent to 0.2-0.4 percent.  You see, when we suddenly must count tens of millions more paper ballots then it becomes easier, not harder, to spot errors.  So, the Left won its Pyrrhic victory.  The nation was done with the demonized Trump and now the Left controlled the presidency, and both houses of Congress.

Terrified Virginia Democrats Seek to Change Election Laws After Voting Has Already Started.  The governor's race in Virginia is heating up, with Glenn Youngkin, once a big underdog in the relatively blue state, gaining more and more momentum.  A recent poll, for example, showed the Republican actually leading Democrat Terry McAuliffe among likely voters.  Given the tendency for polls, especially state-level polls, to overstate Democrat standing, staying within striking distance is all Youngkin needs to do for the upset to be a serious possibility.  But if you were looking for more evidence that Democrats see Youngkin as a serious threat and are terrified he may win, look no further than this latest development out of heavily blue Fairfax County.

Virginia Dems Want Last Minute Voting Rule Change.  Virginia's gubernatorial contest between Republican Glenn Youngkin and Democrat Terry McAuliffe clearly has supporters of the latter worried.  Recent polls show a far tighter race than they expected.  Consequently, it was all but inevitable that McAuliffe's allies would attempt to meddle with election laws using public health as a pretext.  Sure enough, the Democrat-dominated Fairfax Board of Supervisors has asked Gov. Ralph Northam to waive the witness signature requirement that Virginia law stipulates for all absentee ballots.  Board Chairman Jeffrey McKay insists that the waiver is necessary due to the threat of COVID-19, yet cases are declining.

Virginia Dems press Northam to waive absentee ballot witness signature requirements ahead of governor's race.  Democrats in Virginia are using the COVID-19 pandemic to press Gov. Ralph Northam to waive the witness signature requirement for mail-in absentee ballots ahead of the gubernatorial election.  The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors voted 9-1, with the only Republican voting against, to send a letter to Northam asking him to drop the witness signature requirement like was done during the 2020 election, InsideNoVa.com reported.  Board of Supervisors Chairman Jeffrey C. McKay, who proposed the letter, reportedly said during Thursday's meeting that some Fairfax residents had expressed fears that they could potentially catch COVID-19 if required to obtain a witness signature to vote.

Counterfeiters Beware!  Arizona Rep. Turns State Ballot Integrity Project into National Opportunity.  Mark Finchem, the State Representative from Arizona who has also received the endorsement of former President Donald Trump in a bid to become that State's Secretary of State in 2022, has effectively taken his Arizona Ballot Integrity Project (BIP) national as of this past Wednesday when he and approximately 30 others from around the country gathered at the suburban Dallas offices of international authentication leader, Authentix, to create a process for introducing a highly counterfeit-resistant paper ballot.  Attendees were a mix of technology experts, politicians, election officials, and election integrity activists.  States represented included Arizona, Michigan, Virginia, Tennessee, and New Hampshire among others.  The first portion of the meeting had experts from Authentix making various presentations to the group detailing the technology involved in the process.  The second half was a working white board session where the group collaborated in designing the rollout process.

Dems double down on election misdeeds.  [Scroll down]  The election fraud accusations, replete with documented proof that somethings happened in many somewheres, have not reached critical mass or gained serious resolution.  Accordingly, the Democrats have not just successfully tarnished the last presidential election, they have also set a marker for other bad political actors to follow.  And follow they have.  In my hapless Democrat-saturated Montgomery County, the Democrat-run Board of Elections recently announced they had sent out 16,000 mail-in-ballots.  However, their vendor, experiencing a 'computer glitch,' had 'forgotten' to print the backs of the ballots.  The Board cancelled the 16,000 irregular ballots.  However, they did not call for a recall.  Instead, a second batch of mail-in ballots will be distributed to the same recipients.  The Democrats have also set up at least ten stand-alone unmanned drop boxes in which voters can deposit their ballots.  These boxes blatantly circumvent legal voter accountability requirements but follow the Democrats' impromptu Covid-induced shenanigans implemented in the last election cycle.

7 States Push Noncitizen Voting, 4 States Say No.  Litigation in Vermont has highlighted the expanding trend of noncitizen voting, which two cities in that state recently allowed.  Municipalities in California and Maryland similarly allow noncitizens to vote in local elections.  Other jurisdictions are considering doing so.  So far, these efforts to allow non-citizens to vote don't apply to national elections for president or Congress, nor to state offices such as governor or state legislator.  For Democrats especially, though, this has been an emerging issue.  In July, The New York Times published an essay by Atossa Araxia Abrahamian, a senior editor at The Nation, under the headline "There Is No Good Reason You Should Have to Be a Citizen to Vote."  Congress passed legislation in 1996 to prohibit non-citizens from voting in federal elections.  State constitutions vary, although so far the idea has been entirely a local matter.  It has been more popular in local jurisdictions of some states than in others.

During Testimony Maricopa County Officials Admit to Deleting 2020 Election Data to Avoid Audit Subpoena.  Earlier today, during a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing on the Arizona vote outcome, representative Andy Biggs (R-AZ) questioned Maricopa County officials about their deletion of 2020 election data in order to avoid a state senate subpoena for election records.  Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Chairman Jack Sellers and the boards vice chairman, Bill Gates, admitted they intentionally deleted election data to route it onto an archive file.  The archives of the county records were not subpoenaed, that way the county could avoid sending the full 2020 election data to the auditors.  [Video clip]

The Editor says...
One of the witnesses claimed that the data servers are scrubbed after each election, because there's not enough storage space on the server for more than one election.  Of course that is a lie.  There is no reason to delete data except to cover up fraud.  Any data server sold in the last ten years has multiple terabytes of storage space:  Enough to store the data generated by every election that will occur until the server is eventually replaced.  Also the data should be backup up in at least one off-site archive.

Explosive Discovery On Voting Machines.  [Video clip]

There's nothing moderate about Andrew Yang.  Andrew Yang, a complete unknown who threw himself into the presidential race in 2019, where he quickly flamed out, and who then lost in the Democrat primary for New York mayor, is back again.  Since the Democrat party is not fulfilling his political ambitions, he abandoned it and announced, instead, that he's starting his own party:  The Forward Party. [...] The top item on his new party's home page is "Ranked-Choice Voting and Open Primaries."  Both are horrific ideas.  As a practical matter, ranked-choice voting is a failure because it's so complicated.  You don't vote for your candidate.  Instead, you look at all the candidates and assign numbers to them. [...] Ultimately, under ranked-choice voting, there's never a clear majority winner.  There's just someone who managed to slog through all the constant reallocations of various rankings from hundreds of thousands of voters.  In Australia, ranked-choice voting gave the victory to the Labor Party even though the Liberal-National coalition got the majority of first-place votes.

Trump Is Not the Cause of the Crimes Threatening America.  There were 19 serious lawsuits contesting the constitutional integrity of the election — as opposed to individual voters complaining about the treatment of their own ballots — but the judiciary, for improvised process reasons, declined to hear any of them.  The thought that the Trump campaign might have had a legitimate grievance is discounted as a complete fantasy if not a manifestation of outright insanity.  Conveniently, the disorganized, over-hyped, and rather unserious efforts of Sidney Powell (who was a public advocate and not retained by Trump) and Rudolph Giuliani made Trump's claims of a tainted election easier to ridicule and dismiss.  The huge number of unverifiable ballots and undoubted lapses of scrutinization standards in a very narrow result in key states while the election was without significant incident in 44 of the 50 states, raises very serious questions about the integrity of the election and the vote-counting system.  The Trump haters represent Trump's relentless attacks on the results in the six contested swing states (Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin are the others, the five without Michigan, yielded a 158,000 vote margin out of 15.8 million votes in states where there were more than five million unverifiable ballots.)

Judge Seals Report on Voting Machine Vulnerability.  It's the kind of report that could be weaponized by those looking to cast doubt on U.S. election results: a cybersecurity analysis that found flaws in Georgia's voting machines and warns about the potential for future attacks.  But a federal judge has sealed the report, and her attempt to shield the public from bad faith efforts to undermine the 2020 election could instead fuel the conspiracy theory dumpster fires — and keep the voting machine maker from figuring out how to fix it.  The 25,000-word report, commissioned by election integrity groups, does not touch on the 2020 results at all.  But the report — authored by a University of Michigan computer science professor who has testified numerous times on Capitol Hill about U.S. election security, J. Alex Halderman — claims that Georgia's ballot marking devices (BMDs) "suffer from specific, highly exploitable vulnerabilities that allow attackers to change votes despite the state's purported defenses," all by using malware.

Yuma County woman faces new election law charge.  A Yuma County woman who was indicted last year for illegally returning four voted mail-in ballots that were not hers is facing three new felony charges.  The Arizona attorney general's office announced on Oct. 5 that Guillermina Fuentes was indicted for voting another person's early ballot in the August 2020 primary election.  She was charged with conspiracy, forgery and a ballot abuse count.  Fuentes, 65, a Democrat, is a former mayor of the border city of San Luis.  She serves as an elected board member of the Gadsden Elementary School District in San Luis.

Noncitizen Voting in Vermont [is] Part of Democrats' 'Long Game'.  Noncitizens will be able to vote in two Vermont cities as part of a growing national trend, unless lawsuits prevent new laws from taking effect.  The cities of Montpelier, with about 7,375 residents, and Winooski, with about 7,335, both will allow noncitizens to vote in local elections for offices such as mayor, city council, and school board.  Related changes to the two city charters required the approval of voters as well as the state's Democrat-controlled Legislature, which in June overrode a veto by Vermont Gov. Phil Scott, a Republican.  "These are very liberal cities with progressive Democrats," Rob Roper, president of the Ethan Allen Institute, a free-market think tank based in Montpelier, told The Daily Signal.

Debunking the Left's Propaganda on Voting.  A Senate subcommittee last week held a hearing filled with the same old tiresome propaganda that the left has peddled for a decade to attack commonsense election reforms as a racially motivated plot to "suppress" votes.  Nothing, of course, could be further from the truth.  The subject of the hearing by the Senate Judiciary Committee's subcommittee on the Constitution was HR 4, a bill dubbed the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, which the House passed in August on a straight party-line vote.  HR 4 would amend the Voting Rights Act to give partisan bureaucrats in the Justice Department the power to veto changes in state election laws, including those affecting voter registration, voter ID requirements, and maintenance of accurate registration lists.

State Senate Hearings of Forensic Audit Results of Arizona 2020 Election.  [Scroll down]  Auditors Found 86,391 Ghost People:  The auditors compared the Maricopa registered voter list against various databases.  The comparison could not find the identity of 86,391 registered voters.  This very strange, as our 1) name, 2) date and place of birth, 3) Social Security number, etc., are in federal and state databases.  At one point in time, those ghost people must have gone to a Town Clerk, and filled out and signed a form with personal data, and shown identifying documentation, of which the Town Clerk would have made copies.  The Maricopa voter list has 86,391 people, whose background cannot be checked.  They could be undocumented illegal aliens, who work for cash, and live below the radar.  They might be on a Medicaid database.  However, 63,757 of these ghosts (73.8%) are identified as "Democrat or no party affiliation", on the registered voter list. [...] The Media did not mention there were 57,734 ballets with known issues, such as 1) improper voter registration, 2) improper votes, and 3) discrepancies in the registration.  About 49,718 were questionable ballots.  This is in addition to the 17,322 duplicate votes found by the Shiva team.

Preparation of 288,000 mail-in ballots in Bethpage, NY, for use in Pennsylvania months before the election.  Jesse is a truck driver for a USPS subcontractor.  He drives a USPS trailer-truck from the USPS Bethpage New York Logistics & Distribution Center, Long Island, NY, to Lancaster, PA, almost every day.  His trailer was loaded with standard USPS trays with ballots, which were packed in 24 very large, cardboard containers, aka "Gaylords". [...] Jesse saw handwritten addresses in the upper-left corner of the envelopes.  He had dispatch tickets, dated October 21 (two weeks before the election), to drive to Harrisburg, PA[.] [...] He arrived at Harrisburg, as usual, but nothing was unloaded, which he thought was odd.  He asked the Dispatcher what was going on, and asked for a standard USPS ticket to be paid for "wait-time".  The Dispatcher told him to wait until the Supervisor of Transportation would tell him what to do, which he thought was odd, because he had never talked to a supervisor in the past, he had always talked to a dispatcher.  After a 6-hour wait, the Supervisor appeared and told him to go to Lancaster, but he refused to give Jesse the:  1) Standard USPS routing ticket, and 2) Standard USPS wait-time ticket Jesse had asked for.  Jesse thought, going to Lancaster did not make any sense, because the Lancaster cargo was in the back of the trailer.  He drove to Lancaster, parked his trailer in the usual USPS loading dock, and drove his tractor to his nearby home.  The next morning, October 22, he drove his tractor to the USPS center in Lancaster, to hook up his trailer, but to his surprise, the trailer was gone.  He has not seen it since.

Wisconsin Sure Has a Lot of 124-Year-Old Registered Voters on Its Rolls.  The oldest living person in modern recorded history was a French guy named Jeanne Calment, who made it to 122.  If there were really 8,550 124-year-olds still kicking around in a single county in Wisconsin, it would be all over the news.  But 8,550 people rising from the grave to vote for Joe Biden somehow doesn't make the news.  23,266 voters were all registered with the same Wisconsin phone number.  That's pretty weird, huh? 23,203 of the voters in Racine County, Wisconsin share the same phone number on their voter registration records, and another 63 people who live outside the county also have that same phone number.  Wisconsin HOT also discovered an addition 45 phone numbers that are shared by 900 registered voters.  In Rock County, 900 voters were registered at the same address. [...] 543,000 voters in Wisconsin have no officially recorded date of registration.  This is the fishiest of all the facts that Wisconsin HOT uncovered by simply examining the voter rolls in their state.

Arizona Senate president warns state could take control of Maricopa election after audit red flags.  Following the release of explosive findings by an independent forensic audit of the 2020 election in Arizona's Maricopa County, the state may step in to assume direct control of election administration there before the next election, Arizona Senate President Karen Fann hinted Friday.  The long-awaited results of an outside audit of the county's 2020 election process were announced Sept. 24.  While confirming the rough accuracy of county vote tabulation giving Joe Biden a razor-thin victory in Arizona, the auditors flagged more than 50,000 suspect ballots for further investigation of issues ranging from people voting from addresses from which they had already moved to residents voting twice.  The number of problematic ballots uncovered was almost five times Biden's official margin of victory[.]  Responsibility for determining whether and to what extent laws were broken during the 2020 election now rests with Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, a Republican with 2022 Senate aspirations.

How to Restore Trust in Our Elections.  An analysis of voter attitudes conducted by the Democracy Fund after the November 2020 national election found that about six in ten Americans (59 percent) believe that permanent harm has been done to the United States as a result of real or perceived corruption and dishonesty in the election process.  To regain the public's trust, many people advocate reverting to what the National Election Defense Coalition (NEDC) calls the voting "gold standard," where voters cast hand-marked paper ballots tabulated by hand counts of candidate selections on each ballot.  The great majority of Americans vote in national and state elections at over 200,000 prescribed polling places throughout the fifty states.  Hence, it is at these polling places where state legislators need to prioritize measures to better enable and ensure fair and honest elections.  Georgia election officials indicate that a total implementation of the NEDC's voting "gold standard" is not feasible or realistic.

Democratic Incrementalism Makes Pandemic Vote-By-Mail Ballots Permanent.  Governor Gavin Newsom signed "a package of legislation" on Monday [9/27/2021] that included "a bill to send all registered voters a vote-by-mail ballot" for all future elections whether they request one or not.  The entire vote-by-mail legislative effort was a textbook display of Democratic Party incrementalism — or the gradual implementation of The Agenda.  Let's start at the beginning.  On March 4, 2020, Newson proclaimed an official "State of Emergency to Help State Prepare for Broader Spread of COVID-19."  His proclamation came "as the number of positive California cases [rose] and following one official COVID-19 death."  Yes, one.  With his newly acquired emergency powers, it didn't take him long to target the upcoming primary election.

What the press is leaving out about the Arizona election audit.  The ethical corruption of our national new media has extended to a degree that once would have seemed unimaginable.  We were exposed to yet another remarkable example with the reporting on the long-awaited audit of the 2020 presidential election results in Arizona. [...] While the audit did find that a hand-recount of all of the original ballots did widen Joe Biden's margin by several hundred votes, the press deliberately and steadfastly ignored and left unreported the most critical results of the draft audit.  Included among those original ballots, the most comprehensive election audit ever conducted established the following:
  •   More than 23,000 mail-in votes were cast under voter IDs from people who should not have received their ballots by mail because they had moved.
  •   More than 10,000 voters cast ballots in more than one county.
  •   More than 9,000 mail-in ballots were returned and counted than had been mailed out of registered voters.
  •   Thousands of official results did not match those who voted, and thousands more were cast in-person in the name of those who had moved out of state.
  •   Logs and data files related to the election had been deliberately erased from the Election Management System (EMS) server, in violation of the law.
  •   Thousands of original ballots were duplicated more than once.
  •   Auditors were never provided with the required chain-of-custody documentation for the ballots, causing increased ambiguity regarding the accuracy of the election results.
  •   None of the various systems related to the election had numbers that would balance and agree with one another.
  •   Maricopa County officials actively interfered with the audit, withheld subpoena items, and refused to answer questions that are normally standard in such audits.

Patrick Byrne:  It's The Paper.  Patrick Byrne, the founder of the America Project, has often highlighted the importance of the paper used in the Maricopa County Election.  The America Project and Byrne helped fund the Maricopa audit.  Byrne has stated that 100 percent of the ballots were "fake."  On Friday [9/24/2021], the Cyber Ninja report mentioned paper stock, paperweight, and kinematic artifacts being investigated by Jovan Hutton Pulitzer.  More complete information about the paper used for the Maricopa County election could help provide a critical missing piece to reconstruct what happened in the 2020 election.  The paper stock used in elections is significant because it can affect how a vote is adjudicated and tabulated.  Paper can also tell the story of whether counterfeit ballots were used.  The weight, thickness, security features of paper are all critical features of a secure ballot.  Bleed-through can result on ballots with thinner paper stock.  Ballot paper should be uniform, and its specifications should be prescribed.  Ostensibly, ballots that do not meet the defined specifications should not be counted.

British Media Finally Appear to Be Questioning Biden's U.S. Election Legitimacy'.  "So Trump was right."  Thus begins a broadside in the Sunday [9/26/2021] Times that amounts to a clarion call for the world:  America's president came to power in an election that was "rigged."  "The American public is slowly waking up to the fact that they are being led by an ineffectually devious, senile halfwit," Rob Liddle writes.  "Donald Trump is back in the lead in the opinion polls.  Imagine how awful a president must be if people would rather that sack of meat with mittens were back in charge."  "Soon the public will wake up to something even more unpleasant and sinister:  that the last presidential election was a fraud, rigged by big business, the labour unions and, more than anything, the media and the tech companies," he continues.  "If that election had taken place in any other country, it would have been called 'unfree'.  And, as more and more evidence emerges, it terrifies me that the same thing could happen here."

VA Republicans Jump to In-Person Early Voting Lead, Model Shows.  Virginia Republicans hold a rare lead among in-person early voters as they work to elect a GOP governor for the first time in more than a decade, voter modeling obtained by the Washington Free Beacon shows.  Just 82,000 Virginians cast ballots during the first week of early voting, according to the state's Department of Elections.  That figure marks a sharp decline from the 270,000 voters who flocked to the polls during the first week of early voting in 2020. Of the 51,000 early votes cast in person, Republicans hold a 127-vote advantage, a data model provided by the Virginia GOP shows.

Arizona Audit:  Voters 'With No Record' Of Their Existence In Database Far Outnumber Biden's Lead.  The number of voters whose existence could not be verified in a database used by Arizona auditors far outnumbers Joe Biden's supposed "lead" of 10,457 votes in the state of Arizona in the 2020 election, emboldening President Donald Trump's claim that he was cheated out of the presidential win.  Fox News infamously called the state of Arizona for Biden early on election night, enraging its conservative viewers and making it clear that the fix was in.

Cyber Ninjas Report: 255,326 Ballots Cast, No Record Of Receipt.  Cyber Ninjas' Doug Logan publicly presented his still incomplete report for the Maricopa County forensic audit to the Arizona State Senate on Sept. 24.  One finding alone in his report shows 255,326 votes that have no corresponding record of having been received.  Logan's Presentation Number One shows data indicating the Maricopa County election was anything but perfect.  UncoverDC will write a series of stories, breaking down the entire audit report by presenter, starting with Mr. Logan's Cyber Ninja team report and the overview of his team's findings.  The report is incomplete because the County has yet to turn over routers, Splunk logs, and other subpoenaed materials.

The end game of the election audits.  Readers have noticed my silence on the election audits in Arizona and elsewhere.  The election was stolen and cannot be undone.  But that does not mean the audits are useless.  Far from it, dear friends.  There is no way Democrats won the election fair and square.  The math shows this was impossible.  We went a century with presidential election turnout topping 60% only one time — 61% in 1964 — and suddenly there was a surge to 67%?  That was up from 56% in 2016.  Democrats used the pandemic to ignore election laws and mail-in unverified ballots that may have been Xeroxed.  The rules of election security were abandoned.  And Republicans allowed this to happen because they wanted to be rid of Donald John Trump and the whole business of making America great again.  Republicans want nice safe jobs where they go along with Democrat lawlessness to get along.  The audits are not going to overturn the 2020 election.  We all know this.  But this is not about 2020.  It is about 2024.

Democrats Repeat the Mistakes of 2016.  The Democrats are still outwardly pretending Trump has gone and that his support has evaporated. [...] Many have implied by their ambiguity that they could live with Trump again if his manners improved and his tactics became less bombastic.  The acid test being unwisely applied to Trump's acceptability as a rehabilitated candidate is his humble acceptance of the legitimacy of the election of Joe Biden as president.  There are two serious problems with this criterion, which even the Wall Street Journal seems to embrace.  The first problem with the requirement of a full recognition of the unassailability of Biden's legitimacy as president is that former President Trump and his scores of millions of supporters don't accept that that is true.  The second problem is that it probably is not true.  There are more serious concerns about the integrity of the 2020 presidential election than any in the history of the country except the Hayes-Tilden contest of 1876.

Here's a way to guarantee 110 percent voter turnout:
California to mail every voter a ballot in future elections.  Every registered California voter will get a ballot mailed to them in future elections under a bill signed Monday [9/27/2021] by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom.  The law makes permanent a change adopted during the pandemic for the 2020 election and the recent recall against Newsom.  California, the nation's most populous state, joins several other Western states in mailing all voters a ballot, including Utah, Colorado, Washington and Oregon.  Republicans who hold a minority in the state Legislature opposed the expansion of voting by mail.

California Gov. Newsom Signs Law Making Universal Vote-by-Mail Permanent in State.  Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a measure Monday [9/27/2021] that makes vote-by-mail permanent in California, coming after the tactic was used in 2020 and was left in place during this month's recall election.  The Democrat governor issued a statement as he signed Assembly Bill 37, which now requires the state to send ballots with prepaid return envelopes to all voters in statewide elections and local contests.  "As states across our country continue to enact undemocratic voter suppression laws, California is increasing voter access, expanding voting options, and bolstering elections integrity and transparency," Newsom said.

Pattern Identified in Arizona Audit Mirrors Michigan Scandal Revealed in Detroit Leaks Tapes on Provisional Ballots.  According to the initial Cyber Ninja Report released to the media on Friday, the day before the Arizona Senate report was made public, there was real concern about provisional ballots. [...] Then on Friday the Cyber Ninja Report revealed that 58,550 voters appeared on election day to vote who had reportedly already received a mail-in ballot [...] These 58,550 voters turned up on election day and were told they already voted by mail-in ballot without their knowledge.  The language was watered down in the final report.

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich:  "If We Don't Stand Up Now And Protect The Constitution And Rule Of Law, We'll Never Get It Back."  Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich argues it is time for the fight.  AG Brnovich says "It's high noon" in the State of Arizona due to the increasing threats on our Nation's most precious document.  The Gateway Pundit reported that Brnovich released a statement before the audit report presentation saying, he will take the necessary actions supported by the evidence.

Why Your Otherwise Smart Friends Think Stupid Things.  Against enormous pressure, an independent audit was finally concluded on the voting in Maricopa County, Arizona.  And the spin has begun.  At PJ Media, Matt Margolis details how corrupt the coverage of the audit report has been.  CNN and others concluded the audit proved Biden won Arizona as the hand count matched the official canvass results.  Whoa!  There's a lot more to the story.  As Margolis observes, the summary of the audit shows a great deal more than that:  He republishes the table showing the vast discrepancies and other troubling issues found by the audit team in a state where Biden barely won.  The audits found "There are sufficient discrepancies among the different systems that, in conjunction with some of our findings, suggest that the delta between the Presidential candidates is very close to potential margin-of-error for the election."  The discrepancies demonstrate there was a substantial potential for fraud and Maricopa's refusal to allow the auditors to vet these 57,734 ballots in which discrepancies were found, means "we'll never know if the election results were legitimate."

Let Georgia Voters Decide if Non Citizens Should Be Voting in Georgia's Elections.  I have been extremely honored to write for RedState for almost two years now.  During that time, I have opined on issues and topics ranging from the first Trump impeachment to Big Tech censorship.  As president of Americans for Citizen Voting (ACV), I have also been calling attention on these pages to a growing movement to permit permanent legal residents (Green Card holders) to vote in school board and mayoral elections.  We all know if this practice becomes widespread and accepted, the next logical step would be to allow those with permanent legal status to vote legally in gubernatorial, congressional, and of course, presidential elections.  This has to be stopped in its tracks before we really do have "foreign interference in our elections" by having green card holders voting in our elections — at all levels.

Texas Announces Election Audit in Four Counties — Democrats Melt Down.  The Texas Secretary of State's Office announced the state will conduct a forensic audit of the 2020 presidential election in four counties.  The audit will focus on Houston, Dallas, Tarrant, and Collin counties — the two largest Democrat and two largest Republican counties in the state.  "Under existing Texas laws, the Secretary of State has the authority to conduct a full and comprehensive forensic audit of any election and has already begun the process in Texas' two largest Democrat counties and two largest Republican counties — Dallas, Harris, Tarrant, and Collin — for the 2020 election.  We anticipate the Legislature will provide funds for this purpose," the Office said in a statement.  Though Trump won Texas last year by 5.5 percentage points, the former president wrote a letter to Gov. Greg Abbott (R) on Thursday requesting a statewide audit to "answer big questions" about the 2020 election. [...] Biden won Dallas County with 65% of the vote and Harris County with 56%, according to the official results.  Biden also apparently flipped Tarrant County, winning 49.3% to Trump's 49.1%.  Trump won Collin County with over 51% of the vote.

The Editor says...
In case you're not from around here, in an honest election, Trump would have won Collin County with at least 80 percent of the vote, and the Tarrant County numbers are highly suspect, too.

Arizona Senate refers Maricopa election audit to state attorney general for further investigation.  The GOP-led Arizona Senate referred the findings of its 2020 election audit in Maricopa County to the state's attorney general.  The contractors, led by Cyber Ninjas, confirmed President Joe Biden's victory over former President Donald Trump in a review of the nearly 2.1 million ballots cast in the county.  Still, a letter sent Friday to Arizona's top prosecutor outlines "urgent issues" the auditors found that Senate President Karen Fann said "suggest less-than-perfect adherence to Arizona's standards and best practices."  "We are asking him to open up a formal investigation so that he can pursue and seek additional information, additional facts, perhaps get some of these missing things that we were never able to get, verify all this information, and take the appropriate actions of anything that is necessary to do.  I have every confidence that he will be doing that," Fann said of her letter to Attorney General Mark Brnovich at the end of the hearing on Friday [9/24/2021].

White House whoppers:  Summer of misleading claims continues with border crisis.  As Biden administration officials scramble to contain the political fallout over a surge in migration at the border, they have made a series of false or misleading claims, capping off a summer of bending the truth to avoid controversies. [...] Railing against state-level GOP voting laws in mid-July, Biden made a series of inaccurate claims about election reforms as he sought to create a sense of urgency for Democrat-led legislation.  Referring to laws in states such as Georgia, Biden described the effort as a "21st-century Jim Crow assault" on democracy, even though many of the laws and proposals he cited actually expanded access to the vote in meaningful ways.  In Georgia, for example, the new election law actually added days to the early voting period and authorized the use of ballot drop boxes on a permanent basis for the first time in the state's history.  Biden claimed during a July 13 speech that 17 states had enacted 28 new laws this year "to make it harder for Americans to vote."

Arizona Senate Report on the Maricopa County Election Audit Highlights 49,000 Questionable Votes, Asks AG to Investigate.  The report of the Maricopa County Forensic Election Audit of the 2020 election released at a public hearing of the Arizona State Senate chaired by Senate President Karen Fann (R-1) and Judiciary Committee Chairman Senator Warren Petersen (R-12) on Friday [9/24/2021] identified a number of significant election irregularities discovered during the audit.  Out of 3.4 million votes cast in Arizona in the November 3, 2020 presidential election, about 2.1 million were cast in Maricopa County.  Of these, a little more than 1.9 million were early votes, either cast by mail or deposited in drop boxes. [...] The results of the audit, however, actually raise more doubts about the legitimacy of more than 49,000 votes included in the final counts of both the forensic audit and the Maricopa County Official Canvass results, a number that is more than four times greater than Biden's 10,457 vote certified margin of victory.

It's fake news that the Maricopa audit proves Biden won.  Democrats are strutting because the final Cyber Ninjas audit in Arizona showed that "[t]he auditor's final hand count — which quadruple-checked every single one of the 2.1 million ballots — matches Maricopa County's official machine count."  Big whoop. For those complaining about irregularities in the 2020 election, the question was never about miscounting.  Instead, it was about the claim that an inordinate number of the ballots in the Joe Biden pile didn't come from real people.  Instead, they were alleged to have been faked — and the audit confirms almost 60,000 wrongfully counted ballots that could easily switch the Arizona Electoral College vote from Biden to Trump.  No wonder Cyber Ninjas says the Arizona result should not have been certified. [...] The five bullet-points can be summarized this way:
  •   absentee ballots were inadequately verified,
  •   voter rolls do not match the ballots, as well as showing duplicate and dead people,
  •   amateurs oversaw election technology and machinery they didn't understand and misused,
  •   private companies had the passwords to the vote-counting machines, and
  •   election officials deleted material making it impossible to do a truly accurate audit (or, in legal terms, they deliberately spoliated evidence, which I'm guessing might be illegal under statutory requirements that all voting data must be preserved for 22 months after an election).

Arizona Audit Finds Over 50,000 Illegal Votes; Discrepancies Due to Either 'Malicious Actions or Severe Incompetence'.  A review of the 2020 election results in Maricopa County Arizona has found over 50,000 illegal ballots, more than enough to overturn the election result.  The audit, which was conducted at the behest of the Republican-led Arizona state Senate, found over 23,000 "phantom voters," that is, mail-in votes that were counted without official ballots, and over 11,000 votes do not match the official canvas, among other discrepancies.  [Numerous tweets]  Biden "won" the state by 10,457 votes.  Multiple corporate media outlets have been trying to get ahead of this story since last night, falsely reporting that the results confirm that Biden indeed won the state, and found no evidence of fraud.  These reports are apparently based on an inaccurate leaked draft of the audit report.  In a statement Friday [9/24/2021], President Trump blasted the media for trying once again to "call it" for Biden before the final results were in.

6 Takeaways From Findings of Arizona Election Audit.  [Doug] Logan, the Cyber Ninjas CEO, delivered a PowerPoint presentation that said the audit found:
  •   As many as 5,047 individuals voted in more than one county, for up to 5,295 additional votes.
  •   393 voters cast ballots using incomplete names.
  •   198 individuals who registered after the Oct. 15 deadline voted anyway.
  •   2,861 voters shared a registration number with another voter.
  •   282 votes appeared to be cast in the names of dead voters.
  •   186 voters appeared to have duplicate voter IDs, both of which were presented at separate times.
Auditors also raised concerns about potential duplicate voters, with names and birth years appearing more than once on some ballots.  Shiva Ayyadurai, an engineer, made a separate PowerPoint presentation Friday to explain the duplication and signature issues.  A former Republican political candidate in Arizona, Ayyadurai was hired by Cyber Ninjas because of his training in pattern recognition.  The audit found a total of 34,448 duplicate ballots cast by 17,126 unique voters.  But Maricopa County reported no duplicate ballots in its canvass report.

Arizona audit flags thousands of suspect ballots, kicking issue to state's attorney general.  Nong-awaited and engulfed in controversy from start to finish, the Arizona Senate's election audit gave America a split decision while leaving the question of whether illicit ballots were improperly cast or counted to the state's attorney general.  The audit released Friday afternoon through painstakingly technical testimony concluded the final count of votes in the state's largest county of Maricopa showing President Joe Biden won Arizona was accurate, but it also included tens of thousands of ballots that were suspect and require more investigation.  The more than 50,000 ballots flagged by auditors for more investigation involved concerns ranging from people voting from addresses from which they had already moved to residents voting twice.  The total in question was nearly five times the 10,400 vote margin that separated the two presidential candidates, giving Donald Trump's troops fresh reason to call for more scrutiny.

The Arizona Election Audit Report Was Just Released — And It is a Bombshell.  The official Arizona Senate's election audit findings were just released — and they are causing a stir.  The official documents were obtained and released by Constitutional attorney Matthew S. DePerno.  They are posted in their entirety below. [...]

Texas secretary of state's office begins a 'full forensic audit' of the 2020 general election in four counties after Trump raised 'big questions' about results in a state he carried.  Texas election officials said Thursday night [9/23/2021] that they were auditing the 2020 results in four large counties hours after former President Donald Trump, continuing to falsely claim the election was stolen, pressed Republican Gov. Greg Abbott for a ballot review.  The move came hours after a letter where Trump called for the probe, 'despite my big win in Texas.'  'You know your fellow Texans have big questions about the November 2020 Election,' Trump wrote.

'Decertify!': Trump Supporters Explode After Seeing What's Actually In Arizona Election Audit Results.  The official Arizona Senate election audit report is in — and Trump supporters are calling for the state's 2020 election to be 'decertified.'  The results showed "57,734 ballots with serious issues were identified."  If those ballots were not counted, that would be far beyond the margin of victory needed to overturn the results of the election.  The independent auditors recommended that "the election should not be certified."  In addition, there were more disturbing findings, according to Cyber Ninjas:  A Dominion technician allegedly deleted all of the log files a day before the audit began, while other security lapses abounded.  Trump supporters and election integrity advocates exploded at the findings on Twitter:  [Numerous tweets]

Arizona Election Audit Delivers Surprise Result Per Reports.  The results from the Arizona audit are in per multiple reports, and they are going to set off a firestorm.  According to Axios, who is reporting on a copy of the Cyber Ninjas findings obtained by The Washington Post, Joe Biden not only won Maricopa County, where the audit was taking place but won it by a wider margin than the official results.  Unless these reports, which are also coming from local Arizona news, are completely false, Biden will apparently be found to have garnered 360 more votes than originally counted. [...] It is ironic that the same media and their Democrat allies that spent the last year saying audits are illegitimate and wouldn't be conducted properly are now lauding the very audit they lambasted because it found the result they wanted.  But that's not unexpected, and I doubt anything that's revealed today will move either side from what they believe happened in 2020.  For my part, I'll just tick everyone off and say that the most relevant "fraud" during 2020 did not come via dead people voting or fake ballots that any audit is going to find widespread evidence of.  Rather, it came from feckless politicians who allowed their election systems to be hijacked in the name of COVID-19, possibly in violation of state law in some cases.

Ignore the MSM: Here's What the 2020 Maricopa County Election Audit Actually Says.  A draft copy of the 2020 Maricopa County election audit has been leaked to KJZZ, a Phoenix-based radio station. [...] The media is already spinning the findings of the audit.  "The partisan review of Maricopa County's 2.1 million ballots cast in the 2020 election found a vote count nearly identical to what the county had previously reported," CNN reported.  Like other liberal outlets, CNN focused on the results of the hand-recount part of the audit.  As we know, hand recounts may account for slight discrepancies in counting but do not address irregularities or potentially illegally cast ballots.  So, let's look into what the audit actually says. [...] The summary continues:  ["]However, while it is encouraging for voters, it does not allay all of the concerns:
  •   None of the various systems related to elections had numbers that would balance and agree with each other. In some cases, these differences were significant.
  •   There appears to be many ballots cast from individuals who had moved prior to the election.
  •   Files were missing from the Election Management System (EMS) Server.
  •   Ballot images on the EMS were corrupt or missing.
  •   Logs appeared to be intentionally rolled over, and all the data in the database related to the 2020 General Election had been fully cleared.
  •   On the ballot side, batches were not always clearly delineated, duplicated ballots were missing the required serial numbers, originals were duplicated more than once, and the Auditors were never provided Chain-of-Custody documentation for the ballots for the time period prior to the ballot's movement into the Auditors' care.  This all increased the complexity and difficulty in properly auditing the results; and added ambiguity into the final conclusions.["]

NYC Democrats Seek to Give Voting Rights to Nearly 1 Million Non-Citizens.  Democrats on the New York City Council are eyeing a plan to allow nearly a million non-citizens the ability to vote in local city elections.  The plan, backed by 34 Democrats on the 51-member New York City Council, would allow non-citizens with green cards, visas, and work authorization to vote in city elections so long as they have resided in New York City for at least 30 consecutive days.  The plan indicates that legal immigrants on green cards or an employment visa who have lived in New York City for at least a month would be able to vote for mayor, comptroller, public advocate borough presidents, council members, and changes to city policy.

The Editor says...
Of course non-citizens won't be permitted to vote for the governor or U.S. president — at first.  Give it a few years.  Changes like this always take place incrementally.

Dem wants non-citizens to vote in NYC elections: 'If people have a problem, they should move'.  There can be no mistake that Democrats want to see as many illegal immigrants as humanely possible flow into the United States.  Common sense and logic dictate that there's no other answer as to why the Biden administration is allowing over 200,000 migrants a month to illegally enter the country.  With well over one million illegal immigrants having entered this year, and the total approaching two million, the question is why would this be a priority for the party?  Democrats seem hellbent on granting amnesty to those in the country illegally, with the belief that many of these unskilled migrants will vote blue, giving the party what would be a deciding influx of millions of new voters.  It may be decades before they lose another national election.  But some lack the patience for the political machinations to play out here and simply want to change the laws to allow non-citizens to vote.

Maricopa County Supervisor Bill Gates Claims Leaked Chucri Tapes are "Elections Misinformation".  The Maricopa County Supervisors and Secretary of State Katie Hobbs have been awfully quiet on Twitter, despite a few retweets but not the usual attacks we usually see coming from them.  Today Supervisor Bill Gates Tweeted a cry for attention, where he says that he is receiving "death threats" because "elections misinformation is spreading like wildfire"

What Will Democrats Do about the Maricopa County 2020 Election Audit?  Maricopa County's failed 2020 election is back in the news.  First, an independent canvassing of Arizona's Maricopa County voters revealed a possible 173,000 "lost" ballots and 96,000 "ghost" votes.  Add this to the soon-to-be-released Maricopa audit, and — hopefully — the people responsible can be held accountable.  Maricopa's guilty parties are not going down without a fight.  We need to be ready for what comes next.  Lucky for us, we already know what the adversary's next few moves will be; it's not the first time the Democrats have been caught rigging elections.  The Democrats' standard response is denial and misdirection.

They Intend to Destroy America.  [The Democrats'] "Voter Rights" bill currently making its way through Congress has nothing to do with voter rights; it's about legalizing every method of cheating they used in the 2020 election.  The current bill is an attempt to thwart the Constitution and the fifty states' constitutionally derived powers to oversee their own elections.  Nothing the Democrat party or its leftist, social democrat politicians want to do is good for America.  They run to the same old playbook, and none of it has ever worked, anywhere, or any time it has been tried.  We are at a turning point.  Don't let them win.  Resist!

Joe Manchin's election bill would nationalize no-excuse absentee mail-in ballots.  A working proposal to amend H.R. 4 by Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) supported by Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) would nationalize no-excuse mail-in absentee ballots for every state in the U.S., effectively overturning 16 states with laws that require a valid excuse to submit an absentee ballot.  According to the proposal, the new bill would "Permit all registered voters to vote by mail, should they request a mail-in ballot, but does not require any jurisdiction to automatically mail ballots or ballot applications.  Include dedicated funding to support states in implementing ballot tracking programs."  The proposal would overturn the laws of Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, West Virginia, Delaware, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

Arizona Audit Update, Maricopa County and State Senate Enter Agreement — Wendy Rogers Confirms Audit Report and Hearing for Friday September 24th.  Some interesting developments in the ongoing Arizona Senate audit of the dubious Maricopa County election outcome.  First, Arizona Senate President Karen Fann notes an agreement between the Senate and Maricopa County for information still outstanding. [...] Additionally, Arizona Senator Wendy Rogers announced earlier the results from the Maricopa audit will be released and discussed during a Senate hearing scheduled for Friday September 24th.

Arizona Recently Processed 673,000 Voter Identities with the Social Security Administration — 58% Had No Match Found.  In the last 10 weeks, Arizona has checked the voter registration credentials with the Social Security Administration (SSA) on 673,560 applicants.  This is a massive volume considering most States including Arizona typically process around 2,500 a month.  They've processed more identities in the last 2 months than they've done in the last 9 years combined.  Is someone scrubbing a database, or auditing "Federal Only" voters?  During "new voter registration" States are to verify the driver's license number against their own MVD database.  Only in situations where no driver's license can be provided should the State check their identity through the Help America Vote Verification (HAVV) interface provided by the SSA.  The 43 States that participate provide the last 4 of the SS#, the applicant's name, and DOB.  The interface responds if a match was, or was not found, if they are deceased, and so on. [...] "No Match" was found on 58% of the voters submitted by Arizona over the last 10 weeks.

A Hinge Moment of History.  [Scroll down]  I'll say it straight out loud.  I do not think that Joe Biden "won the election."  I don't think it is a question of "widespread fraud."  I think the way the system works with the Electoral College, you only need actually to spread fraud in six key cities in six key states.  I'm actually disgusted by the attitude of the courts, all the way from the rinky dink little judge in your local county courthouse, all the way up to Chief Justice John Roberts, when they say that, "Oh, well, all this is moot.  There isn't sufficient fraud to have changed the result."  I would like some of these genius jurists, including Mr. Roberts and his colleagues, to then give us a figure on what is the acceptable level of fraud in American elections.  Denmark, in its history, has never actually had a plausible accusation of any kind of electoral fraud.  As we know, in the United States, in cities like Philadelphia, this is a tradition that has long roots and goes back 150 years.

Is the Republic dead?  Can it be saved?  It's not nearly as complicated as once I thought it was.  It's a top-down insurrection.  All that it ever needed was a sufficient number of conspirators, in key positions, to network with each other.  Granted, the numbers needed were large.  That is why it took so many years to take hold.  Once the threshold was reached, however, circa 2015 or 16, the treachery began in full swing.  The plotters were delayed by one mistake, a very big one, in 2016.  They underestimated the amount of electoral fraud that was needed to place Hillary Clinton in the White House.  That set them back four years.  By 2020, however, the insurrectionists understood their error, and they did not repeat it again.  This time, the fraud was massive.  It was too large to hide, but on the other hand, there was no longer any need for concealment.  Nobody in power was ever going to oppose the reported result, save for President Trump and a very few others, but there were not enough of them to be effective.

Election Officials Don't Know What Happened to 15 Million Mail Ballots in 2020 Election.  As any casual observer could tell, the 2020 election was a mess.  Now we have real data — from a federal agency, no less — that proves it.  Based on data from the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, an analysis by the Public Interest Legal Foundation shows almost 15 million mail ballots effectively disappeared after election officials gave them to the U.S. Postal Service to deliver to voters.  Gone, like the Bermuda Triangle of the election.  Some of the mail ballots may have ended up on the floors of apartment complexes.  Some were sent to deceased registrants.  Some went to addresses where the registrant no longer lives.  Some may have gone to vacant lots and businesses.  Some, having never been requested by the voter, were never returned.  In 2020, we put the election in the hands of the people who regularly deliver you your neighbor's mail.  The data also shows that an additional 1.1 million ballots were sent to the wrong addresses in 2020 — the U.S. Postal Service saying they were "undeliverable."  Think on that.  One million ballots went to the wrong house or apartment.

'Announce the True Winner': Trump Wants Georgia to Decertify 2020 Election Results.  President Trump has sent a letter to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asking him to de-certify the 2020 GA election results based on 43,000 fraudulent votes.  [Tweet]  Trump claims the 43,000 absentee votes in question violated the chain of custody rules and should therefore not count.  Trump lost Georgia by roughly 12,000 votes.  "People do not understand why you and Governor Brian Kemp adamantly refuse to acknowledge the now proven facts and fight so hard that the election truth not be told," Trump wrote to Raffensperger.  "You and Governor Kemp are doing a tremendous disservice to the Great State of Georgia, and to our Nation which is systemically being destroyed by an illegitimate president and his administration."

Top GA Officials Will Explain Why They Bought Unverifiable Voting System That Violates Georgia Law.  As petitioners from Voters Organized for Trusted Election Results in Georgia (VoterGA) go back to court next Monday, September 20th seeking a Fulton County ballot inspection, another VoterGA election petition will require a legal response at the end of that week from the top Georgia officials.  Governor Brian Kemp, Secretary of State (SOS) Brad Raffensperger and Attorney General Chris Carr will be required to explain why the state bought an unverifiable voting system that a federal court found in violation of Georgia laws.  In late August, VoterGA and State Rep. Philip Singleton filed a legal petition against the State of Georgia to immediatelyand permanently ban the Dominion Democracy Suite 5.5 Ballot Marking Device (BMD) system from the state.  Georgia's Democracy Suite 5.5A (GA) system accumulates votes hidden in QR (Quick Response) codes that cannot be read by the voters and are thus unverifiable to them.  Kemp, Raffensperger and Carr have now been served as shown on the docket and are required to respond to the petition by the end of next week.

In election fraud quest, GOP seeks details on who voted.  Republicans in Pennsylvania's Senate pursuing what they call a "forensic investigation" of last year's presidential election said Tuesday they plan to subpoena records that detail who voted, including their driver's license number and the last four digits of their Social Security number, and whether they voted by mail or in-person.  Senate Republicans have scheduled a meeting Wednesday of the Senate Intergovernmental Operations Committee, which they control, to vote to issue subpoenas for the information from Gov. Tom Wolf's administration.

Chuck Schumer Unveils Legislation to Make Voter Fraud Legal in the US.  Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer introduced a sweeping voter rights bill that will make voter fraud the law of the land.  The legislation amounts to a federal takeover of the elections — a dream for Democrats despite clear language in the US Constitution that clearly puts this responsibility in the state's hands.  The law wiil provide same-day registration that makes it easier for Democrats to cheat.  The law also expands mail-in voting that allows Democrats further opportunities to cheat.  And the bill allows felons the right to vote.  The bill also allows a "workaround" on voter ID so anyone who walks into a polling center will be able to vote.  It is the Democrat dream.  Of course, ballot boxes and ballot harvesting will also be allowed.  Democrats count on these tactics to steal 5-20 seats in an election.  In 2018 Democrats stole 7 California seats through ballot harvesting alone.

Sen Rogers says there is enough information to decertify Arizona.  Senator Wendy Rogers of Arizona was recently interviewed on the 'War Room' with Owen Shroyer.  She said the news about the results of the Arizona audit will break this month.  Meaning that the canvass of the Arizona Audit is now concluded.  Some 32% of those canvassed said they did vote but their vote didn't show up.  The margin of errors discovered in the canvass was higher than Joe Biden's margin of victory.  This is highly unusual and suspect.  Senator Rogers is a most remarkable and accomplished woman and should be taken seriously.  She comes from a long line of Army officers.

'Nothing Can Stop What is Coming.' What If Nothing is Coming?  [Scroll down]  Arizona's election audit is dragging on, and "any day now" sufficient evidence of fraud will supposedly be released to overturn that state's election results, triggering similar results in other states.  Yet after ten months there is no end in sight, just pleas to be patient and wait.  And what if evidence of fraud or outside interference is produced?  Then what?  The media will ignore it and anyone who dares to discuss it will be labeled a QAnon domestic terrorist and attacked with the ferocity of someone recommending ivermectin for COVID.  Will state legislatures decertify their electoral college votes?  Will Congress decertify the presidential election?  Will the Supreme Court get involved?  No, no and no, based on common sense and their past performance.

Mark my words:  Vote fraud will steal the governorship from Larry Elder.  Altogether, I may be on the record publicly more than any political oddsmaker, analyst or host in America.  I've made literally thousands of predictions.  I'm batting at least .990.  I've gotten maybe a half-dozen predictions wrong out of thousands.  So, here's my prediction for the California governor's recall election:  Gov. Gavin Newsom will be recalled, and Larry Elder will be the next governor of California.  Except it won't matter.  Because after all the massive Democratic vote fraud is factored in, Gavin Newsom will survive the recall and Larry Elder will lose. [...] California is a failed socialist hellhole.  Crooked Democrats count the votes in California (and any other Democrat-controlled state).  Larry Elder is about to find out what it's like to be former President Donald J. Trump.  He's about to find out what it's like to have an election stolen by brazen socialist/communist criminals who will stop at nothing to destroy America.  He's about to experience a rigged and stolen election.  Just like Trump.

The Steal Is On:  Riverside County Residence Recieving Multiple Ballots For This Week's Recall Election.  Several Riverside County voters have reported receiving multiple ballots in the mail for the upcoming governor's recall election.  "It's really hard to trust the process when nobody can explain why two ballots were mailed to one person," said Cheri, who asked that her last name not be used for this story.  [Video clip]

California Republican Voters Told 'You've Already Voted' Even When They Haven't.  Some things in California never change — accusations of election fraud, for example.  On Saturday [9/11/2021], poll workers informed 88-year-old Republican voter Estelle Bender. that she had already cast her ballot.  The problem was, she knew she hadn't.  "I went to El Camino High School to vote," Bender told KTLA5 reporter Chris Wolfe.  When Bender gave a recall election poll worker her ballot information to scan, she told Bender the computer said she'd already voted.  "I said, 'no, I haven't,' and she said, 'This has been happening all morning.'"  Clearly, Bender wasn't the only concerned voter who was informed she'd already voted.  "The man next to me was arguing the same thing," said Bender.  "So I got the provisional ballot and I was really angry."

North Atlanta Gwinnett County GOP Passes Resolution For Full Forensic Audit Of 2020 Election In Suspect Counties.  Against GOP Establishment pressure, the Northeast Atlanta county of Gwinnett GOP passed a resolution last Thursday for an independent full forensic audit of the 2020 U.S. general election results in certain suspect Georgia counties.  We can report there was robust debate before passing the measure and many helpful suggestions were added enabling the resolution to pass with wide support.  The measure was passed with vocal help from 'audit activism' groups in the county.  "I'm hopeful this might get reported so it can inspire many other county GOP parties to do the same and pressure our legislature / elected officials to get this audit done," said one source involved.  "The resolution itself isn't binding on anyone, but it lets our politicians know that the base is fed up and can put real public pressure on them."

Can the Post Office Be Trusted With Mail-In Ballots?  As I write this on Sunday afternoon [9/12/2021], a Thursday Washington Post article headlined, "Postal Service workers not included in President Biden's mandatory vaccination order, source says," remains on the Post website uncorrected.  According to Post reporter Jacob Bogage, "postal workers would be strongly encouraged to comply with the mandate," but they would not be forced to get vaccinated.  To his humble credit, Bogage noted the paradox of Biden exempting "a massive chunk of the federal workforce ... that interacts daily with an equally large swath of the public."  Upon reading Bogage's initial report, I was stunned that the Biden White House would coddle the USPS so conspicuously just a week before the California recall election.  The "quid" in this case struck me as much too obvious a down payment on the "quo," namely USPS cooperation in the mail-in voting.  Given that ballots have been automatically mailed to every registered voter, the USPS has a major role to play in the election.  All pundits seem to agree that Gov. Gavin Newsom's future hinges on the mail-in vote.

The Editor says...
The Democrats don't even have to hide their nefarious schemes, because they now realize that only one voter in a thousand is paying attention to anything that contradicts (or bypasses) the mainstream news media.

[Some] California Republicans [have been] told they already voted[,] due to something 'wonky' with computers, KTLA reports.  Reports of voting issues are coming out of California in advance of Tuesday's special recall election when the fate of embattled Governor Gavin Newsom will be decided, leading to confusion and suspicion among some voters.  According to a local news report, residents who went to cast their votes at a Woodland Hills high school were shocked when they were told that they had already voted according to computers.  The problems occurred at an early voting site at El Camino Real Charter High School where several people were informed by staffers that they wouldn't be able to cast their ballots and were given provisional ballots instead.  Those who were turned away appear to have one thing in common — they are Republicans.

Republican Voters Say Voting Machines Are Showing Them As Already Voted For Newsom Recall Election.  At El Camino Real Charter High School in Woodland Hills, some voters say they were told the computers showed them as already having voted, even though they had not.  West Hills resident Estelle Bender, 88, said she was far from the only person who was being told incorrectly that they had already voted.  [Video clip]

Over Half Of American Voters Believe Cheating Happened In 2020 Election And Want It Fixed.  The numbers that are coming in from polling about the 2020 Elections are showing that Americans are growing more suspicious of the results than ever before, and the numbers show that voters want the problems fixed.  According to pollsters at Rasmussen Reports: ["]Voters:  51% say there was cheating in the 2020 election[,] 55% support 2020 election audits[,] 60% say preventing cheating more important than making it easier to vote[,] 61% say Election Reform must happen in Swing States like PA, MI, GA, WI, & AZ where voters have lost confidence["]

Watchdog: 'Unknown' Ballots in Georgia, Pennsylvania Surpass Biden's Margin of Victory There.  Georgia and Pennsylvania, two of the most closely contested states in last year's presidential election, both logged a high number of unaccounted-for mail-in ballots, according to new reports from an election watchdog group.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation determined this week that Pennsylvania had 15,175 undeliverable mail-in ballots and 425,606 "unknown" or unaccounted-for ballots.  Another 34,171 mail-in ballots were rejected by election officials, it said.  Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump by 81,660 votes to win Pennsylvania's 20 electoral votes.  The legal group found that Georgia had 27,287 undeliverable ballots and another 217,677 ballots met an "unknown" fate.  Election officials rejected another 4,804 ballots.  Biden beat Trump by 11,779 votes to win Georgia's 16 electoral votes.

Undeliverable Mail-in Ballots in Georgia Were Double the Official Margin of Victory, Report Says.  An estimated 27,000 mail-in ballots in Georgia were returned as undeliverable by the post office during the 2020 election, according to a research brief by a good-government group.  The number is more than double the margin of victory — 12,000 votes — by which President Joe Biden won the state.  The new report from the Indianapolis-based Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) raises questions about the efficacy of voting-by-mail policies that were hurriedly adopted across the nation in the early days of the pandemic last year, purportedly to arrest the spread of the CCP virus that causes the disease COVID-19.  PILF describes itself as "the nation's only public interest law firm dedicated wholly to election integrity," existing "to assist states and others to aid the cause of election integrity and fight against lawlessness in American elections."

Maricopa County Report Shows Over 170k Votes LOST and Over 90k Ghost Votes, 100% Voter Fraud.  After conducting interviews with more voters in Arizona's contested county than the number of people that live in an average American city, the Maricopa County Canvass report authored by Liz Harris detailed "major" findings pertaining to the scale that voter fraud was committed.  Harris described the first bombshell finding during an episode of Steve Bannon's "War Room" where she explained that more than a third of Arizonans canvassers interviewed indicated that they did vote, despite that there was no record of them doing so.  [Video clip]

AG's office says Maricopa County must provide routers to Senate 'audit'.  The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors broke the law by refusing to comply with a subpoena for the routers used by its elections department, regardless of whether the Senate has the power to enforce that demand, the Attorney General's Office has concluded.  The supervisors must now determine whether they'll provide the disputed routers to the Senate for its self-styled "audit" of the 2020 general election, or whether they'll appeal the decision to the Arizona Supreme Court.  The county has until Sept. 27 to decide what to do.  If the county challenges the attorney general's findings, it will have to put up a bond worth nearly $700 million, equivalent to the amount of state-shared tax revenue it could lose if it ultimately refuses to hand over the routers.

Nevada County Quietly Deletes 83% of Voters from Its 2020 Voter Rolls.  A researcher named Cardiff Gerhardt dug through the voter rolls for Douglas County, Nevada.  He used direct data from the Nevada Secretary of State's website.  Gerhardt discovered that in one voting district in Douglas County, there were 14,701 people who voted in the 2020 election.  But today, there are suddenly only 2,477 voters living in that same district.  It appears that the Nevada Secretary of State removed 12,224 people from the voter rolls sometime after the 2020 election.  Where'd all those people go?  They voted in 2020.  Or I should say:  Their votes were counted in 2020.

Voter Integrity Groups are Analyzing Video Evidence of Ballot Trafficking on Massive Scale in Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan.  Radio host John Fredericks joined Steve Bannon earlier this month to discuss an explosive development in Georgia.  According to John Fredericks, investigators now have video of 240 leftist operatives he called "ballot traffickers" dumping tens of thousands of ballots into drop boxes in the middle of the night in locations across Georgia.  The leftist operatives were identified making numerous drops in the middle of the night.  They were filmed emptying their backpacks of ballots into the drop boxes in the middle of the night.  Ballot harvesting is not legal in Georgia.  This was criminal behavior caught on video!

'Election Integrity Is Now Law In Texas': Abbott Signs Bill That Triggered Dem Flight To DC.  Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed a voter integrity bill into law Tuesday [9/7/2021] — the same law that Texas Democrats fled the state to avoid voting on.  In a signing ceremony held Tuesday, Abbott said the bill makes "it easier than ever before for anybody to go cast a ballot.  It does also, however, make sure it is harder than ever for people to cheat at the ballot box."  "Election integrity is now law in Texas," Abbott said before signing.  The bill takes several measures to ensure integrity in casting ballots, instituting a ban on drive-through and round-the-clock voting, and adding an ID requirement for mail-in and absentee ballots.  "Those who do want to vote-by-mail must now provide their driver's license number or the last four digits of their Social Security number when they're applying for a mail-in ballot and when they send it back in," the Daily Mail explained.  The same measure also mandates that polling locations in areas with more than 55,000 residents offer at least 12 hours of early voting.

Texas Gets Election Reform Right, 'Mainstream' Media Gets It Wrong.  What is in this bill that is supposedly so "restrictive" that the left is up in arms about it? [...] Texas Republicans added a requirement that registrars who receive notice from a voter who has moved must forward that notice to the registrar of the new county where the voter now lives.  Opponents, like the American Civil Liberties Union, apparently don't want registrars to keep accurate and up-to-date lists, which is why they keep suing to stop states from trying to clean up their voter lists.  A similar provision requires the Texas secretary of state to use Department of Motor Vehicles records — driver's license information — to "verify the accuracy of citizenship status information previously provided on voter registration applications."  In other words, if an individual provides documentation showing he is not a U.S. citizen when he obtained a Texas driver's license, he obviously should not be registered to vote since both state and federal law bars aliens from voting.  Why would the Democratic legislators who fled the state oppose this?  The only possible motive is that they want noncitizens to be able to illegally register, vote, and not get caught.

Unsupervised Ballot Drop Boxes In Georgia.  Knuckling under to pressure by Democrat activist Stacey Abrams, Georgia Sec. of State Brad Raffensperger and the State Election Board passed an emergency rule to allow the widespread use of unsupervised ballot drop boxes for the 2020 election.  Under Georgia law, only the voter or his or her legal representative is allowed to deposit ballots in drop boxes.  Part of the emergency rule allowing drop boxes required 24/7 video surveillance of each drop box location.  Conservative watchdog group True the Vote, which obtained and has analyzed thousands of hours of the surveillance video, reportedly found evidence showing over 240 ballot harvesters in Georgia illegally going from drop box to drop box in the middle of the night dumping backpacks of ballots while wearing gloves, presumably to hide fingerprints.  According to True the Vote, the alleged perpetrators dumped ballots at an average of 23 drop boxes a night at drop box locations throughout the state, including ones in Georgia's four largest counties:  Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb and Gwinnett.

Breitbart, Steve Bannon and John Fredericks Reporting on Leaked Ballot Mule Investigation.  I can confirm the basic background of these stories; however, unlike all others I will not disclose details.  You may remember my outlines about "ballot mules", and a process of reviewing massive amounts of data.  This is connected.  However, I strongly advise readers to review the presented information from these sources with the knowledge that their baseline is their recent discovery of a background investigation that has been taking place for quite a while.  First, Breitbart has a mostly correct story about some of the background that involves Catherine Englebrecht, a genuine national hero, and her organization True The Vote (TTV).  Long-term readers of CTH will know our support for, and alignment with, Englebrecht and her group.  Breitbart's reporting is based on information provided by a donor who is funding part of the investigative effort.

Massive Ballot Dropbox Bust Blown Wide Open.  Heather Mullins talks about the breaking news story out of Georgia that surveillance video obtained from drop-box voting sites reveal the presence of dozens of ballot traffickers, dropping multiple ballots in direct violation of Georgia law.  "This is huge... I came across a document a few months back ... They have basically been collecting a bunch of geospatial data ... that's basically cellphone pngs ... and creating software that can filter through this data and piece together what they now believe is ballot trafficking... In Georgia specifically, they have the corresponding drop box footage because under Georgia law they're supposed to be under surveillance.  So now what they've been trying to piece together is to find the footage that corresponds with time stamps of these people that were going from drop box to drop box to drop box. ... In the state of Georgia, you're not allowed to harvest ballots; it's illegal, so this is a crime."  [Video clip]

The official explanation for California's suspicious recall election envelopes.  In California, Jacqueline Timmer of American Voters Alliance reports that, in at least three California counties, the return envelopes for the recall election of Gov. Gavin Newsom have circular punch-holes in them that allow a person to see whether a voter voted to retain Newsom or not.  In response, through a tweet, and through a later comment to Fox News, the clerk of one the counties (Los Angeles) said that the punch-holes assisted "accessibility for low vision voters to locate where to sign the envelope[.]"  Apparently, the clerk was saying that such voters could feel on the envelope where to sign.  But if a voter needs punch-holes for that, how was he able to complete the ballot in the first place? [...] Is this really an intentional scheme, or is it simply a case of innocent error?  Even if it were intentional, how would we ever know?  All we do know is that, under mail-in voting, such a question may arise; under direct, in-person voting, it cannot.

Wisconsin Legislature Votes to Approve 'Special Counsel' to Audit 2020 Election.  The Wisconsin legislature has approved an audit for the 2020 election.  The news was reported by Right Side Broadcasting Network on Friday [9/3/2021].  "Wisconsin Republican state legislators approved an audit of the state's 2020 presidential election results, to begin in the coming weeks," RSBN reported.  "Former state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman was appointed to oversee the investigation of the election results."

Investigators Have Video of 240 Leftist Operatives in Georgia Dumping Thousands of Ballots from Backpacks into Drop Boxes in the Middle of the Night!.  Radio host John Fredericks joined Steve Bannon on Friday morning to drop this EXPLOSIVE development in Georgia.  [Video clip]  According to John Fredericks state officials now have video of 240 leftist operatives he called "ballot traffickers" dumping tens of thousands of ballots into drop boxes in the middle of the night in locations across Georgia.  The leftist operatives were identified making numerous drops in the middle of the night.  They were filmed emptying their backpacks of ballots into the drop boxes in the middle of the night.  Ballot harvesting is not legal in Georgia.

An important American demographic has been silent about election fraud.  Many, myself included, believe that widespread tampering and fraud played a significant role in the 2020 election.  Democrat bullies, media bullies, and Big Tech bullies have prevented any honest analysis of the election.  While Hillary Clinton continues to rage against a vast right-wing conspiracy, we suspect a vast left-wing conspiracy aided and abetted by the communists in China stole from America a fair and honest election and gave Joe Biden the keys to the White House. [...] Where are the Christian leaders to call for an honest analysis of this very controversial election?  To his great credit, Franklin Graham has questioned the outcome.  For his questioning, he has been widely pilloried by the usual suspects.

Hans von Spakovsky:  Missing Ballots in Three States Exceed Joe Biden's Victory Margins.  Hans von Spakovsky, manager of the Heritage Foundation's Election Law Reform Initiative and a senior legal fellow of the Meese Center for Legal and Judicial Studies, said president Joe Biden's margins of victory in Arizona, Nevada, and Wisconsin in the 2020 presidential election were narrower than the states' respective totals of unaccounted-for ballots.  Biden's margin of victory in Wisconsin was approximately 20,000 votes despite the number of ballots "missing or undeliverable" in the state amounting to 83,000, von Spakovsky noted.

A Ruling Class with Blood on Its Hands.  How can a sitting president win over ten million more votes than his first election, beat his opponent in almost every traditional bellwether county across the country by double-digits, and still come up short of victory after four days of additional vote-counting in a handful of Democrat-run metropolitan counties in battleground states?  That's such an obvious question that reporters should have jumped at the opportunity to scrutinize how a candidate who had hidden away in his basement for the entirety of the campaign had pulled off such a historic feat.  Instead, that question and any investigations toward finding answers were immediately censored by the same Big Tech social media companies and news conglomerates that actively pushed for Biden's victory while they eagerly framed Trump voters as "insurrectionists" and "enemies of the state."  Just as censorship of the Intelligence Community's active war against the American people became the order of the day in American newsrooms, censorship of too many unanswered questions surrounding the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election became part of that same information war, too.

California's Recall Election Has Already Been Stolen.  California's gubernatorial recall election is officially September 14, but "Election Day" has ceased to have any meaning, Mail-in ballots were automatically sent to every registered voter on August 16.  Return postage is "free," pre-paid by California taxpayers.  The registration deadline was August 30, but you can still register to vote "conditionally" and cast your vote immediately, right up to and including on the 14th.  Mail ballots do not have to be received by "Election Day."  Ballots received up through September 21, a week after the election, will still count.  Which gives the people in power plenty of time to correct any "mistakes" revealed by the initial vote tallying on September 14.  You will recall that a drug-addled miscreant was recently apprehended in his car with 300 stolen mail-in ballots.  The police found these ballots not due to brilliant detective work but because someone reported a man passed out in his vehicle.  "Police are working with officials to ensure that all voters affected by the thefts get new ballots," reported the Los Angeles Times.

Texas Legislature Passes Elections-Reform Bill, Defeating Dem Obstruction.  The GOP-dominated Texas legislature voted Tuesday to pass its elections-reform bill after the state's Democrats protested and obstructed the measure for weeks, going so far as to walk out of a special session to prevent it from advancing.  The legislation now goes to the desk of Republican governor Greg Abbott, who is expected to sign the bill after lobbying for it for many months.  While state Democrats have attacked the bill as a voter-suppression measure, state Republicans have insisted it will promote transparency, security, and integrity in Texas elections.  Its provisions include rolling back drive-through and 24-hour voting, requiring voters to authenticate their identity on absentee ballots, banning public officials from sending unsolicited mail-in ballots, cracking down on paid "ballot harvesting," and mandating that all voting systems have a paper trail on or before 2026, among others.  Livestream video must also be captured at ballot-counting locations in large Texas counties per the legislation.

Madison Cawthorn warns of 'bloodshed' if future 'rigged' elections occur.  Rep. Madison Cawthorn on Sunday warned there will be "bloodshed" if the "rigged" electoral system suffers from fraud in the future, despite officials' assurances that U.S. elections are secure.  The freshman Republican lawmaker from North Carolina , who attended former President Donald Trump 's "Stop the Steal" rally on Jan. 6 before rioters breached the U.S. Capitol in an effort to prevent Congress from certifying President Joe Biden's 2020 victory, suggested armed conflict could result if elections, which experts insist are not susceptible to fraud, continue to be "stolen."  "The things that we are wanting to fight for, it doesn't matter if our votes don't count," Cawthorn told attendees of an event at the Macon County GOP headquarters in Franklin on Sunday evening.  "Because, you know, if our election systems continue to be rigged and continue to be stolen, then it's going to lead to one place — and it's bloodshed."

Can Americans still beat Democrat voter fraud?  The Democrats are the party of voter fraud.  This is the basic fact of American politics.  Republicans know it, and so do Democrats.  We all know that the dead who vote always vote for the Democrat and that those voting enthusiasts who vote early and often can also be counted on to vote for the Democrat.  Consequently, the rule in America has long been that to be elected, a Republican must win beyond the margin of theft.  But the margin is changing.  It is changing because the Democrats are getting bolder and more brazen.  The extent of this brazenness is soon to be unveiled in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania as their state audits unfold.  In 2020, the Democrats went wild.  It was a voting fraud lollapalooza.  The Republican candidate for president trounced the Democrat candidate — and yet the Democrats got away with stealing the election.

Report: Wisconsin Lost Track of 82,000 Ballots in State Biden Won by 20,000.  Wisconsin lost track of more than 82,000 mail-in ballots cast in the state in the November 2020 elections — more than four times the margin of difference separating the two presidential candidates in the state, according to a report by the nonprofit Public Interest Legal Foundation.  The legal foundation, an election integrity watchdog group, released a research brief Friday looking at one of the most closely contested states in the 2020 presidential election.  However, the Wisconsin Elections Commission disputes those findings, as the commission spokesman said the report "mischaracterizes election systems and cherry-picks data," adding, it is "unreliable and frankly, it's sloppy work."  Joe Biden defeated then-President Donald Trump by 20,682 votes in Wisconsin in the November presidential election.  However, according to the legal foundation's report, 82,766 mail-in ballots in the state were either undeliverable or suffered an unknown fate.

HR4 Is Yet Another Democrat Attempt to Undermine States.  The Foundation for Government Accountability (FGA) applauds the 18 states that have worked to strengthen and secure election processes through commonsense election integrity reforms.  States should continue to pursue and implement reforms to protect voters and restore trust in our democracy.  "Through the introduction of this bill and the failed H.R. 1, House Democrats have proven that they do not believe states should regulate their own elections.  After record turnout, many state leaders have enacted widely supported election laws that make it easier to vote and harder to cheat," said Tarren Bragdon, CEO and President of FGA.

J. Christian Adams: 15 Million Mail Ballots Unaccounted For in 2020 Election.  The president of the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) told Breitbart News [...] Saturday [8/28/2021] that 15 million mail ballots were unaccounted for in the 2020 presidential election.  "This is the worst way to run an election, what they did in 2020," J. Christian Adams, president of PILF, told host Boyle in an interview:  "The Election Assistance Commission, which is a federal agency ... puts out a report every two years. ... One of the things it has ... is the number of mail ballots that were sent out, the number of mail ballots that came back, and the number of mail ballots that were straight-up rejected, meaning the election officials said there was a defect."  "This is not data that we are speculating about," he added.  "This is federal data, and that's where we get the 15 million number.  Fifteen million ballots were sent in the mail last year that never ever came back and were counted".

Public Interest Legal Foundation: 82,766 Wisconsin 2020 Mail Ballots 'Went Missing or Undeliverable'.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) said on Friday that 82,766 mail ballots sent to voters in Wisconsin's November 2020 presidential election "went missing or undeliverable," a number more than four times greater than Joe Biden's 20,682 vote certified margin of victory in the state.  More than 1.6 million votes were cast in the November 2020 presidential election in Wisconsin, and Biden's certified margin of victory was just 1.2 percent of all votes cast.

Latest Alleged Election Fraud in California May Have Changed Election Outcome.  [Scroll down]  According to the complaint that was filed on Aug. 13, and which the government will ultimately have to prove, four of the defendants registered to vote at the home of another defendant, Jace Dawson, who was also a candidate for the City Council, even though they didn't live there, in order to vote in the election.  Another defendant registered to vote at Galvan's house despite also not actually living in Compton.  Dawson apparently saw an opportunity for mischief when Compton decided to have an all-mail election, responding to a text from another defendant giving him that news and saying Dawson should "come for that seat baby!"  Dawson responded "Yeeeees absolutely!!!!"  Dawson lost the primary election in April to Galvan and then apparently conspired with Galvan to help Galvan win the June general election.  The texts outlined in the criminal complaint among the various defendants about their possession of the absentee or mail-in ballots of voters are disturbing.  In one text, Dawson tells Galvan he has "the ballo[t]s but they didn't fill it out or sign it so I have to track them down to sign the ballot at least."  Galvan responded by telling Dawson to bring "them over."  In other words, Dawson apparently had possession of voters' blank absentee ballots, giving him and/or Galvan the opportunity to fill them out with the votes they wanted.  And this was not an isolated incident with one ballot.

House Democrats Pass Bill To Steal Elections The Old-Fashioned Way.  It is appropriate that House Democrats wore masks at their press conference following passage along party lines of their bill allowing Democrats to permanently steal every election in America.  Gushing with platitudes about "voting rights" and "access to the ballot," they gleefully celebrated the final House vote of 219-215, with no Republicans voting for the federal takeover and bludgeoning of the American voting process.  Because not a single reporter likely bothered to read the "new" House Resolution 4, introduced only days before it was rushed through the House, the fake news loudly echoed Democrats' false claims that this is a voting rights bill.  Nope.  It isn't.  Instead, the bill cynically adopts into federal law every losing argument advanced by the vast leftwing elections industry to courts across the country for years.  Every theory rejected by the courts has been enshrined in HR 4.  The bill also hands control of our elections over to the radical leftwing attorneys in the Voting Section of the U.S. Department of Justice.  Most importantly, the bill codifies congressional districts as "protected" under federal law even if those districts do not have a majority of minority residents.

House Democrats Solidify 2020 Voter Fraud by Federalizing Elections to Override State Laws.  Despite the fact the country is screaming for forensic audits, and Maricopa County is looking like a slam dunk case for fraud and decertification, the illegitimate cronies the audits are meant to expose have been hard at work concreting all their illegitimate power in.  HR-4 to federalize state elections managed to pass the House.  Well, of course it "passed" no matter how bad it is for the People, Congress has too many commies and gutless RINOs these days that would rather cash in on book deals than defend the Constitution and represent the People.  If the Senate shoots it down this time, they'll just rig more senate races next time to make sure they eventually get their way, which is exactly what will happen if we don't fix election fraud by the next midterms.  The Bill is deceptively called the "Voting Rights Advancement Act of 2021" and it's meant to give the corrupt DOJ power over the states and their election laws.

DOJ may sue states like Texas for returning to pre-COVID voting laws.  The Justice Department sent a stern warning on Wednesday that it may sue states that return to pre-pandemic voting laws, adding fuel to the fiery national debate over election integrity measures.  The new Biden administration legal guidance stated, "The department's enforcement policy does not consider a jurisdiction's re-adoption of prior voting laws or procedures to be presumptively lawful; instead, the department will review a jurisdiction's changes in voting laws or procedures for compliance with all federal laws regarding elections, as the facts and circumstances warrant."  Throughout the primary and general elections of 2020, states across the country scrambled to adjust their voting laws, often by emergency executive orders, to ensure that voters could safely cast ballots even amid lockdown conditions.  Now the DOJ is warning that some of those changes may need to become permanent.

Voter fraud concerns [are] mounting in tight California recall election.  Facing the political fight of his life and sinking polls indicating he could lose in the Sept. 14 recall election, California Gov. Gavin Newsom is now plagued by rising concerns over alleged voter fraud after the Secretary of State's Office sent out mail ballots to 20 million voters.  Earlier in the year, the state legislature passed a measure to send out mail ballots to every registered voter whether they asked for one or not.  Newsom's opponents argue this was done as a way to protect him from losing, suggesting the only way he could win was through fraud.  Two legislators sued Newsom last year over an executive order he issued changing election procedure.  The lawsuit is on appeal and expected to go to the U.S. Supreme Court.  One of the plaintiffs, State Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-Rocklin), is running to replace Newsom.

Question the Narrative of the Ruling Party.  This incompetent regime couldn't execute a war and withdrawal against real terrorists in Afghanistan, handing over billions of dollars in weapons to them.  But it thinks that people who question arbitrary mask mandates, potential vaccine passports, and have legitimate questions about the 2020 elections are the real terrorists.  The latest Department of Homeland Security bulletin is a prime example of how this administration twists the thoughts and fears of half of the U.S. population into a warning of potential violence.  Conveniently, they neglected to mention any heightened threats of violence as a result of actions taken by organizations like Black Lives Matter and Antifa.  No, the real threat is people who are tired of wearing masks and question the legitimacy of an extremely suspect presidential election.  The last line in the DHS bulletin warns readers:  "Such threats are also exacerbated by impacts of the ongoing global pandemic, including grievances over public health safety measures and perceived government restrictions."  Let's be clear:  the DHS bulletin wasn't a bulletin; it was a threat, as in a read-between-the-lines threat.

Top Pennsylvania state senator commits to forensic election audit.  In the wake of infighting within his own party, the Pennsylvania Senate's top Republican said this week he supports a "thorough forensic audit of recent elections — including the use of our subpoena powers."  President Pro Tempore Jake Corman (R-Bellefonte) made the comment in an op-ed published Monday [8/23/2021] after he faced blowback for removing Sen. Doug Mastriano (R-Gettysburg) as lead of the chamber's election integrity review.  Corman instead shifted the responsibility to Senate Local Government Committee Chairman Cris Dush (R-Wellsboro) after criticizing Mastriano for what he described as chasing headlines and "grandstanding at rallies."  "It is discouraging to realize that he was only ever interested in politics and showmanship and not actually getting things done," Corman said last week.

Sometimes there really is a conspiracy to theorize about.  Does anyone believe that five states independently and without consultation decided to stop counting votes at about the same time on election night?

Torrance police find 300 unopened recall ballots, with gun, drugs and mail, in sleeping man's car.  Authorities are investigating why 300 unopened vote-by-mail ballots for the upcoming recall election were found — along with a gun, drugs and mail — in a car parked at a Torrance convenience store.  The discovery was made Aug. 16 when Torrance police were called around 10:45 p.m. about a man sleeping in his car at a 7-Eleven parking lot.  "Inside the vehicle, the officers found a loaded handgun, some narcotics, and then they found a bunch of mail and what turned out to be over 300 election ballots in the backseat of the vehicle," said Sgt. Mark Ponegalek with the Torrance Police Department.

California man found with over 300 stolen recall election ballots.  A California man was reportedly arrested in possession of 300 mail-in votes for the upcoming gubernatorial recall election, along with guns and drugs.  According to reports Monday by Los Angeles news outlets, the unnamed man was arrested last week while sleeping in his car parked at a Torrance 7-Eleven.  "Inside the vehicle, the officers found a loaded handgun, some narcotics, and then they found a bunch of mail and what turned out to be over 300 election ballots in the backseat of the vehicle," Sgt. Mark Ponegalek of the Torrance Police Department said, according to TV station KABC.

Over 300 Recall Election Ballots and other Paraphernalia Found in a Passed-out Felon's Car.  Our Managing Editor Jennifer Van Laar tweeted about this incident, oh, three days ago.  Took a little time for legacy media to catch up. [...] Local CBS2 News says it is over 300 ballots that were discovered.  The Torrance Police Department updated their Facebook page saying that the investigation is ongoing, in partnership with Torrance's Special Investigations Division, the U.S. Postal Service, and the L.A. County District Attorney Public Integrity Unit.  With L.A. District Attorney George Gascón at the helm, and also under threat of Recall, I'm not expecting much.  According to the Facebook post, investigators are seeking to ascertain how the felon obtained the Recall ballots and what his intent was in having them.  Apparently the arrest occurred on August 18, the same day that the election officials began mailing out ballots.

It's still practically impossible to secure your computer (or voting machine) against attackers who have 30 minutes of access.  It has been understood for decades that it's practically impossible to secure your computer (or computer-based device such as a voting machine) from attackers who have physical access.  The basic principle is that someone with physical access doesn't have to log in using the password, they can just unscrew your hard drive (or SSD, or other memory) and read the data, or overwrite it with modified data, modified application software, or modified operating system.  This is an example of an "Evil Maid" attack, in the sense that if you leave your laptop alone in your hotel room while you're out, the cleaning staff could, in principle, borrow your laptop for half an hour and perform such attacks.  Other "Evil Maid" attacks may not require unscrewing anything, just plug into the USB port, for example.  And indeed, though it may take a lot of skill and time to design the attack, anyone can be trained to carry it out.

"On A Scale of 1 to 10... I Would Say It's a 12!" — Jovan Pulitzer On the Seriousness of the Audit Results.  Jovan Pulitzer released another audio today that explains the audit process from this past week forward in Arizona.  Pulitzer recommends that the entire election system should be redone.  The results of the Arizona audit are going to be shocking.

Colorado Republican official accused after voting system passwords are leaked to right-wing site.  A bizarre security breach of a rural Colorado county's voting system has in a matter of days escalated into a criminal probe of the clerk's office, a ban on the county's existing election equipment, and heightened partisan divides over election-fraud claims.  Footage that showed passwords related to the county's voting systems was surreptitiously recorded during a May security update and published last week on a far-right blog, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold (D) said Thursday [8/12/2021].  Griswold determined Mesa County cannot use its existing equipment for its November election.  Griswold alleged Mesa County Clerk Tina M. Peters (R) allowed the breach.  A spokesperson for Mesa County confirmed a criminal probe headed by the 21st Judicial District Attorney's Office was underway but said it was still in the early stages.

Pennsylvania GOP senators' internal battle over imperiled forensic election audit goes public.  An internal fight among legislators over a forensic election audit is spilling into public after Sen. Doug Mastriano, R-Gettysburg, accused leaders in his own party of stonewalling his investigation.  The senator made the comments during a Thursday interview with One America News Network that he later doubled down on in a lengthy statement posted to his social media pages the following day.  "Unfortunately, it's not just Democrats who stand in the way of this investigation," he said.  Mastriano sent letters to officials in three counties last month — Tioga, York and Philadelphia — requesting a trove of documents related to the elections in November 2020 and May 2021 for an Arizona-style audit of the ballots.  He claims that overwhelming support from constituents unconvinced in the integrity the results forced his hand, alleging that Senate leadership appeared more interested in a "glorified recount" — or no investigation at all.

With That Staggering Figure, How Could You Not Question the 2020 Mail-In Voting Process.  We all know there was funny business during the 2020 election.  There is no way 81 million Americans voted for Joe Biden.  You'll never convince me otherwise.  The 2020 election was not fair, and Democrats knew how to exploit the COVID crisis to set things in motion.  Secretaries of State cannot just change election laws willy nilly.  They need the state legislatures to sign off on changes.  In Pennsylvania and Michigan, such tweaks were executed without approval from their respective state legislatures for an obvious reason.  They were Republican majority bodies.  The team gathered to argue the election discrepancies was not good to say the least.  The Democrats were able to run out the clock and here we are.  So, are you shocked that there are millions of mail-in ballots that are just missing?  They're gone.  Around 15 million votes cannot be accounted for.

15 Million Votes in 2020 Election Not Accounted For, Report Finds.  Almost 15 million mail-in ballots were unaccounted for in the 2020 presidential election, and more than a million more ballots were undeliverable, according to a new study.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation, a conservative watchdog group on election integrity, released a research brief Wednesday assessing the effect of mass mail-in balloting in an election with a close presidential race in key battleground states such as Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin.  "These figures detail how the 2020 push to mail voting needs to be a one-year experiment," J. Christian Adams, president of the Public Interest Legal Foundation, said in a public statement.  The report found that 1.1 million mail-in ballots were undeliverable for various reasons.  Election officials rejected another 560,814 mail-in ballots.  Another 14.7 million mailed ballots met an "unknown" fate, the report says.

AG Barr Told Lt. Col. Tony Shaffer to Stop Looking Into Truck Driver Jesse Morgan's Testimony That He Moved More Than 200,000 Fraudulent Ballots from NY to PA Before the 2020 Election.  This past week, Lt. Col. and President of the London Center for Policy Research, claimed that former Attorney General Bill Barr told him to stop looking into the transfer of ballots from New York to Pennsylvania he uncovered after the 2020 Election.  LtCol Anthony (Tony) Shaffer (retired), is the President of the London Center for Policy Research, a New York Times bestselling author, and CIA trained intelligence operations officer with 35 years of experience in global and national security.  After the 2020 Election Shaffer was one of many Americans who offered to help investigate the results of the 2020 Election.  Shaffer looked into the events before the election where a truck driver for the US Postal Service reported that he transferred a trailer load of ballots from New York to Pennsylvania before the election.

PA GOP Senate Leader Jake Corman Blocks Subpoenas for Forensic Audit.  As reported earlier, Pennsylvania Republican Senate leader Jake Corman has squashed Doug Mastriano's quest for an audit of the PA 2020 election results.  Senator Mastriano put up a video on his Facebook page blaming the "powers that be" for keeping his committee from meeting and issuing subpoenas.  The video was subsequently taken down.  On Friday [8/20/2021] Senator Doug Mastriano joined Steve Bannon on The War Room to discuss the GOP leader's efforts to block the forensic audit in Pennsylvania.  According to Senator Mastriano GOP Senate Leader Jake Corman will not allow him to book at room in Harrisburg for his committee to meet to vote on subpoenas to launch a forensic audit.

Trump-aligned Pennsylvania Republican says 2020 audit efforts have been 'thwarted'.  A strong supporter of former President Donald Trump who has been trying to organize an Arizona-style forensic audit of the 2020 election in Pennsylvania said his efforts have been "thwarted" by members of his own party.  On Thursday [8/19/2021], Republican state Sen. Doug Mastriano said Republican leaders in Pennsylvania were standing in the way of his efforts to initiate an audit in the state, blocking him from issuing subpoenas to election officials in Philadelphia, York, and Tioga counties, which all refused to comply with previous requests.

In California, your recall vote is not secret.  As the California recall referendum approaches, we know that the leftist California gang determined to entrench Gov. Gavin Newsom in power, no matter how unpopular he is with voters and no matter how much they want him out, has been busy.  So here's the latest rig they've cooked up, exposed very well by an apparently concerned liberal named Jennifer Asper.  [Video clip]  Seems the envelope to the state's mail-in ballots, which have already gone out except reportedly to people who signed the recall referendum petition, contains two holes.  Those two holes expose the contents of the one-vote ballot in exactly the right strategic place.  Asper's Instagram and Twitter video, done very well, demonstrate the problem.

Ga. board launches probe into Fulton County elections.  A state board in Georgia has launched an investigation into election operations in Fulton County.  The Georgia Board of Elections voted unanimously on Wednesday to establish a bipartisan panel in order to conduct a performance review of election officials in Fulton County.  The panel is designed to examine maintenance and operation of election equipment, the voter registration and election process, as well as compliance with state law.  One voter integrity group, Voter GA, has advanced a lawsuit to present what it says is evidence of fraud in Fulton County.

House Democrats push voting bill that aims to upend Supreme Court decisions.  House Democrats are poised to pass a sweeping election bill that would reestablish provisions of the Voting Rights Act the Supreme Court has already struck down in an effort to advance voting reforms that have repeatedly stalled on Capitol Hill.  On Tuesday [8/17/2021], Alabama Democratic Rep. Terri Sewell introduced the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, or H.R. 4, against the backdrop of the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, where famous protest marches occurred in March 1965.  The bill's namesake, who died last year, marched in Selma alongside Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.  It was part of Democratic attempts to wrap the legislation in the language and urgency of the original Voting Rights Act, which passed during the Civil Rights era to combat actively discriminatory practices still in use in some Southern states.  However, in the decades since its passage, the Supreme Court has declared several of its provisions unconstitutional.

Georgia Election Board Votes to Launch Bipartisan Probe Into Fulton County.  The Georgia State Election Board voted on Aug. 18 to appoint a bipartisan panel to probe the management of elections in Fulton County, an inquiry that could lead to the replacement of the county's election board by a board-appointed interim superintendent.  The inquiry is the first of its kind under the election law Georgia Republicans passed in the aftermath of the 2020 elections.  The law authorized the state's election board to audit the management of elections in any county a the request of the local state lawmakers.  The board appointed Stephen Day, a Democratic appointee on the Gwinnett County election board; Ricky Kittle, a Republican appointee on the Catoosa County election board; and Ryan Germany, general counsel for Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, to the panel.  Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, a former secretary of state, applauded the action.  "Fulton County has a long history of mismanagement, incompetence, and a lack of transparency when it comes to running elections — including during 2020.  I fully support this review," he wrote on Twitter.

Nearly 15 Million Mail-in-Ballots Unaccounted for in 2020 Election, Report Says.  By Matthew Vadum August 18, 2021 Updated:  August 18, 2021biggersmaller Print In the November 2020 general election, whose chaotic results have been vigorously disputed, almost 15 million mail-in ballots went unaccounted for, according to a good-government group that focuses on electoral integrity.  The research brief by the Indianapolis-based Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) notes that as the nation dealt last year with the CCP virus (which causes COVID-19), various U.S. states "hastily pushed traditionally in-person voters to mail ballots while, at the same time, trying to learn how to even administer such a scenario."  PILF describes itself as "the nation's only public interest law firm dedicated wholly to election integrity," existing "to assist states and others to aid the cause of election integrity and fight against lawlessness in American elections."  Former Justice Department civil rights attorney J. Christian Adams, now president of PILF, said the results don't bode well for mail-in voting.  "These figures detail how the 2020 push to mail voting needs to be a one-year experiment," Adams said in a statement.

Interview With Arizona Senate President Karen Fann Outlining Suspicious Activity by Maricopa County Election Board.  Arizona Senate President Karen Fann gave an insightful interview earlier on Tuesday [8/17/2021].  Within the interview Senator Fann is asked what is her sense of why Maricopa County has been fighting against the audit?  As noted by Fann she suspects the legal team advising the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors was likely fearful of what might be discovered if a full forensic audit was completed.  [Video clip]

Fulton County Registration Chief Ralph Jones resigns.  Fulton County's registration chief, Ralph Jones, has resigned after more than 12 years of service, a county spokesperson confirmed.  Jones was one of the county officials onsite at State Farm Arena on Election Night, as the counting of ballots continued past midnight.  Those hours became a fixation of the Trump campaign's efforts to discredit Fulton County's handling of the election.  In his position, Jones became a target of the former president's supporters who sought to prove an Election Night conspiracy at the arena.

Georgia Fulton County Elections Chief Ralph Jones Resigns.  Ralph Jones resigned from his Election position in Fulton County on Friday [8/13/2021]. [...] Back in early December we first learned the name of the individual who told election workers to go home on Election night so he and some hand-picked workers could pull ballots out from under tables and jam thousands of Biden-only ballots through tabulation machines.  A short time later, the CFO of the Secretary of State's office, Gabe Sterling, claimed that nothing was out of the normal in Fulton County on Election Night.  Sterling lied in an interview with Newsmax and said that there was an election poll watcher in Fulton County when they were jamming thousands of ballots into voting tabulation machines on election night.  This poll watcher, Sterling said was Ralph Jones.  But this was a lie because Jones worked for Sterling and the elections department of Fulton County.  Jones was not an independent observer.  Jones also was pushing thousands of ballots through the tabulation machines himself on Election Night.

Transcript of Dr. Douglas G. Frank Presentation During Cyber Symposium.  Dr. Douglas G. Frank explains information he discovered as he reviewed election outcomes.  Dr. Frank found the baseline for the 2020 vote was created by applying an algorithm that used the 2010 census to fabricate the illusion of registered voters at a state level (predetermined), and then results are controlled at a county level. [...] [Transcript:] Now this is before the election, and during the election, and after the election they're manipulating the database.  But beforehand they make an estimate of what they think is going to happen and they inflate the registration databases.  So the beginning big hack... most of the hack of the election... takes place at this point beforehand.  They inflate the registration databases.  The reason they do that is because it gives them a credit line of phantom voters.  In a nutshell this is how our elections are being stolen.  Think about it.  It would be a really stupid cheat to have an election happen and then afterwards you count the ballots and they don't match the machine... That's too easy.  A recount is too easy of a thing to catch.  So what they do instead is they bring a bunch of ballots and put them in.  That way when the machines count the ballots they don't have to cheat the machine.  The machine's job then is not to flip votes... even though we do have cases with that... The machine's job is just simply to report progress.  How are things going?  Is it going as we predicted.  If not, adjust it.  And when you write a computer algorithm it does that kind of adjustment... It's comparing to some target value.  There's a target value and then the computer is constantly checking saying "How is it going?  Is it matching what we planned?" and then it's constantly making adjustments.  That's why the machines are so important... And yes, absolutely the machines are connected to the internet.

Fulton County Court Grants Motion to Add Ruby Freeman, Other Shady Election Workers to Georgia Audit Case.  The Fulton County election case has a hearing scheduled for September 20.  And it will have new respondents added to the case:  Ruby Freeman, Keisha Dixon, Wandrea Moss, and Happy Faces Personnel Group.  Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea Shaye Moss were central to the after-hours ballot-counting operation at State Farm Arena during the 2020 election.  Now, they're finally going to face serious questioning as a part of "discovery" proceedings related to a Fulton County election lawsuit.  Freeman is notorious for being suspected of election malfeasance during the 2020 election.  Among those activites were dragging out boxes of ballots from under a table after election observers were wrongfully sent home early at State Farm Arena.  Wandrea Shaye Moss also participated in dragging out boxes of ballots after she personally sent election observers home early.  The video shows that the election workers ran stacks of ballots through tabulators on video, some of them multiple times.

Internal DOJ Emails Show Career Left-Wing Officials Fighting DOJ and FBI Efforts to Review Allegations of Election Fraud in Georgia.  At 4:30am yesterday [8/12/2021] Politico released an article highlighting their spin on leaked internal documents from inside the bowels of the U.S. Department of Justice and the entrenched administrative state.  The emails follow the events inside the DOJ in the aftermath of the 2020 election.  The Public Integrity Section of the DOJ, also known as PIN, specifically a multi-decade left-wing (lawfare aligned) bureaucrat named Corey Amundson, was telling the DOJ they FBI should not investigate claims of election fraud in Georgia.  As chief of the Public Integrity Section, Admundson was saying the official position of the DOJ-PIN group was to say regardless of evidence of election fraud the DOJ and FBI should stay out of it.

President Trump Praises Wisconsin State Rep. Brandtjen For Election Subpoenas.  President Trump said Wisconsin is lucky to have a "strong and great" leader like state Rep. Janel Brandtjen (R).  The 45th president released a statement on Thursday [8/12/2021] after the State Elections Committee, led by Brandtjen, issued two subpoenas to launch election audits in the biggest counties in the state.  Trump said Wisconsin shows many signs of cheating in the 2020 election and people are demanding answers now.  Brandtjen Spoke to One America News about the subpoenas and said the people of Wisconsin deserve to know the truth.  Trump went on to say we must demand elected officials follow the law and hold them accountable.  He also called on Republicans in the state to support Brandtjen's efforts.

Here's What We Know Happened At Lindell's Cyber Symposium.  First, we have no idea if the packet capture data heralded by Mike Lindell for months as proof China hacked the election was real or not.  We don't know because we can report the data was never presented to experts at the conference.  The Lindell team says this is because the data was corrupted by a 'poison pill' which made the data unusable.  Col Phil Waldron of the Lindell team said the data Lindell possessed has been turned over to the Federal government per cyber security law requirements.  We have been informed that multiple 'agents of influence' were trying to destroy the 'break out room' sessions assembled with cyber experts.  Many were allegedly angry the information they expected to receive was not provided in the end, according to the corporate press.  Lindell said he was attacked physically the night before the last day of the conference.  Waldron declared there were agitators and infiltrators at the conference.  Lindell's livestream was hacked multiple times at the conference.  It has been reported the source for Lindell's work, Dennis Montgomery, suffered a stroke before the conference started.  We have no idea if this is true.  One thing is obvious — someone wanted to stop the Lindell symposium from getting its message out.

Judge Denies Motion by Giuliani, 2 Other Trump Allies to Dismiss Libel Lawsuits Over Voter Fraud Claims.  A federal judge refused to dismiss defamation lawsuits filed by Dominion Voting Systems over election fraud claims made by former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, lawyer Sidney Powell, and My Pillow founder Mike Lindell.  Judge Carl Nichols of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia criticized the arguments made by Giuliani, Powell, and Lindell in their motions to dismiss the lawsuits. [...] On Tuesday, Dominion similarly sued Newsmax, One America News Network, former Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne, and two conservative news anchors.  In March, the company sued Fox News for $1.6 billion in damages.  Dominion provides voting technology in 28 states and Puerto Rico.

The Silent Majority is Going to Get Loud.  Another means to affect government is of course through election.  We all have a vote, and our vote mattered — until November 2020.  Allegations of fraud hang over the 2020 election.  Media assertions that allegations of fraud have been debunked are simply propaganda.  The claims of fraud may or may not be true.  We simply don't know, because there has been no litigation of the evidence.  Observers were barred from vote counting.  Election officials have deleted or hidden logs.  Audit reports have been sealed or hidden from the public.  Courts have used procedural arguments to avoid trying any of the election cases.  There has been no public disclosure or debate of the evidence.  We don't know if the election was stolen — and that is the problem.  There can be no faith in elections without transparency.

Mike Lindell Opens Thursday Cyber Symposium with Shocking Developments:  Another Home Raided, Credible Threats, Conference Infiltrated.  Mike Lindell told the crowd an associate of Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters had his home raided last night by state officials.  The man has four children.  They took all of his computer equipment.  Colonel Phil Waldren then came on stage and told the audience that the conference had been infiltrated.  Colonel Waldren:  ["]In addition the Red Team started receiving credible threats about two weeks ago...  We detected disruptors inside trying to be people ejected. really radical folks outside trying to penetrate.  We got folks exchanging badges in the parking lot, press badges.  We've identified those agitators and provocateurs by photo imagery, validated by their social media platforms... The big end game is to discredit all of the legislators who are hear to listen... They are obviously trying to ruin the message that Mike is trying to get out.  So this is typical insurrection activities.  This is part of the Color Revolution.["]

Mike Lindell's Passionate Opening Statement for The Cyber Symposium on 2020 Election Fraud, The Big Lie.  CEO Mike Lindell opened the three-day Cyber Symposium with a statement of intent explaining the massive opposition he is facing in his effort to show the world the evidence of 2020 election fraud.  As Lindell notes the event today was under a cyber-attack from the moment they began live-streaming the event.

Mesa County Colorado Clerk Tina Peters Tells Shocking Story on How Her Office Was Raided As She Was En Route to Symposium.  The "whistleblower" Mike Lindell claimed would present bombshell evidence of election fraud at the South Dakota Cyber Symposium on Tuesday [8/10/2021] allegedly refrained from releasing the data that would irrefutably prove the 2020 election was stolen after her office was raided by the radical far-left Colorado secretary of state.  Lindell announced at the start of the symposium that evidence of election fraud he would release at 7 pm would shock the world when.  Yet, the release was delayed following the raid of the whistleblower Mesa County Colorado Clerk and Recorder Tina Peters, who was reluctant to take the stage.

DC Trump Appointed Judge Allows Dominion's $1.3 Billion Defamation Case Against Giuliani, Sidney Powell and Mike Lindell to Proceed.  A Trump-appointed judge ruled on Wednesday that a $1.3 billion lawsuit by Dominion Voting Systems against Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell and Mike Lindell may proceed.  Judge Carl Nichols dismissed requests to throw out the junk lawsuit.  Dominion Voting Systems is suing the Trump supporters for their accusations that votes were changed during the 2020 election.  Dominion is under fire since the 2020 elections after the impossible "win" by Joe Biden.

Dominion Voting Systems' $1.3B Defamation Lawsuits Against Trump Allies Can Proceed:  Judge.  A federal judge Wednesday [8/11/2021] ordered that three defamation lawsuits of $1.3 billion each filed by Dominion Voting Systems be allowed to continue after allies of former President Donald Trump filed requests that they be dismissed.  Rudy Giuliani, Trump's former personal attorney, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell and "Kraken" attorney Sidney Powell are all named as defendants in lawsuits that will proceed, alleging that each of these parties made claims without evidence that Dominion Voting Systems had rigged the results of the 2020 presidential election by manipulating voting numbers.

Cyber Symposium Video — Seth Keshel Presents Ten Statistical Anomalies Highlighting 2020 Election Vote Fraud and Manipulation.  During day #2 of the Mike Lindell Cyber Symposium, political statistician Seth Keshel gave a presentation highlighting historical voting data.  As noted by Keshel there are ten statistical anomalies indicating vote fraud and manipulation in the 2020 election.  [Video clip]

Stunning Video Explanation — Dr Douglas Frank Shows How The 2010 Census Was Used to Create the Algorithm That Fabricated the 2020 Electronic Vote Outcome.  This is a stunning video and represents the best presentation to show how the 2020 election was determined; not by actual people voting but by algorithms inserted into election tabulation machines.  Dr. Douglas G Frank explains information he discovered as he reviewed election outcomes.  Dr. Frank found the baseline for the 2020 vote was created by applying an algorithm that used the 2010 census to fabricate the illusion of registered voters at a state level (predetermined) and then results are controlled at a county level.  [Video clip]

Video During Cyber Symposium Shows Forensic Perspective of Who, What and How U.S. Voting Data Was Modified.  A video shown today by data analysts and investigators during the Mike Lindell Cyber Symposium.  The primary aspect to the presentation surrounds the financial resources spent by China and George Soros to fund specific companies holding operational control over the 2020 election tabulation systems.  [Video clip]

Rep. Dan Crenshaw tells Supporters "Don't Kid Yourself" the 2020 Election "Absolutely Not a Stolen Election".  Every now and then the RINOs tell you how they REALLY feel about their base voters.  Last night Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) spoke at an event in Chicago.  During questions and answers Crenshaw told supporters there was no voter fraud in the 2020 election adding, "Don't kid yourself into believing that's why we lost.  It's not.  I'll tell you openly."  At that point conservative activist Bobby Piton jumped in to challenge Crenshaw.

Texas Senate Passes Republican Voting Bill, Overcoming Dem Obstruction.  The Texas Senate voted to advance a major Republican voting bill on Thursday in an 18-11 vote, along party lines.  Senate Bill 1 passed after state Senator Carol Alvarado finished a 15-hour talking filibuster in an attempt to delay the vote.  Filibuster rules prohibited Albarado from eating, sitting down, leaning on her desk, taking a bathroom break or speaking about subjects unrelated to the bill.  The all-night filibuster came one day after Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan, a Republican, signed arrest warrants for 52 Democrats who did not return during the fourth day of the House's second special session.  The Democrats' absence left the chamber eight members short of a quorum.

Dominion sues Newsmax, One America News and the Overstock founder for $1.6 billion in damages each.  Dominion Voting Systems sued Newsmax, One America News and the founder of Overstock.com on Tuesday each for $1.6 billion in damages over accusations they defamed the company by claiming it helped rig the 2020 election against former President Trump.  Dominion, one of the nation's largest voting companies, has cited lost profits and other costs in demanding $1.6 billion from Newsmax Media Inc., Herring Networks Inc.'s One America News Network and Overstock.com founder Patrick Byrne.  The firm claimed the news networks defamed them by airing stories that their vote-counting machines switched their votes from Trump to Biden.

Here's What We Know About California's "Print-at-Home Ballot" Recall Election Scheme.  The story was all over social media this weekend:  Crazy California Democrats have come up with another way to cheat on elections, this time by allowing every voter to vote from the "comfort of their own home" by using a "print from home ballot system."  According to screenshots posted to Twitter, one from the California Secretary of State's website and one from the Orange County Registrar of Voters, all California voters (not just those with disabilities or serving overseas in the military) can request a "Remote Access Vote by Mail" ballot for the California recall election, a ballot which is printed at home and then mailed or hand-delivered to the county elections official. [...] RAVBM ballots can also be returned in-person, and do not have to be in an official ballot envelope to be considered valid as long as the voter has signed the outside of the envelope.  That's where the major issue comes in for this recall election.  Ostensibly, someone living in another state can sign up for a RAVBM ballot using the name of a California registered voter (whether that registered voter is alive, dead, or living in another state at this time), mark it using a certified RAVBM system, print, and mail it in.

Altered ballot
Georgia ballots rejected by machines were later altered by election workers to count.  A day after the November election, as Donald Trump and other Republican candidates clung to evaporating leads in Georgia, vote counters in Atlanta were confronted by a paper ballot known only by its anonymizing number 5150-232-18.  A Dominion Voting machine had rejected the ballot on election night because the voter had filled in boxes for both Trump and his Democratic opponent Joe Biden, an error known as an "overvote." The machine determined neither candidate should get a tally, and the ballot was referred for human review.  The image of the ballot, obtained by Just the News, shows the voter messily scribbled a large blob in the box to select Trump as president while also putting a thinner check mark next to Biden's name.  At 6:10 p.m. ET on Nov. 4, 24 hours after the ballot was first scanned and rejected by Machine 5150, a panel of humans decided the vote should be awarded to Biden, with the notation "mark removed for Donald J. Trump."


Karen Fann Explains Path to Decertification of 2020 Election Results, Warrants for Maricopa County.  Arizona Senate President Karen Fann has explained the path to issue warrants to the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, and how to launch decertification of the 2020 election results.  Speaking to JT Harris on Conservative Circus, Fann expressed her frustration at Arizona State Senator Paul Boyer, who has "gone over to the dark side" and blocked efforts from the Senate to hold the Maricopa Board of Supervisors in contempt by voting against a resolution to do so.  Fann seemingly agreed with President Trump's assessment of the situation, who last week slammed Boyer for "doing everything in his power to hold up the damning Forensic Audit of Maricopa County which has been taking place over the last 90 days, saying he has been "nothing but trouble."

More votes counted than cast in Nevada 2020 General Election, analysis of voting files shows.  An analysis of Nevada state voter data shows a 9,000-vote difference between those marked as having participated in the 2020 General Election and the number of ballots actually cast.  The non-partisan Voter Reference Foundation (VRF), which officially announced its launch this week, compared the states' official certified vote totals to the state official voter files, which indicate how many individual Nevada voters were recorded as actually having cast ballots last November.  It found that 15 of Nevada's 17 counties certified more ballots cast than there were individual voters recorded as voting.  Clark (5,869 more) and Washoe (2,191) had the largest discrepancies, according to the analysis.

Experts Clements and Keshel:  Trump Victory Margin in Michigan at 373,000 Votes.  Professor David K. Clements from New Mexico State University and retired Army intelligence captain and former baseball analyst Seth Keshel continue to release their analysis of the 2020 presidential election results.  Over the weekend the two experts released a detailed report on the expected Michigan 2020 results. [...] Michigan (MI) tracks Pennsylvania (PA) in terms of voter tendencies.  Since 2008, metrics show declining Dem participation, while Republican participation has increased, especially under Trump.  Obama lost 303k in 2012, Clinton another 296k.  Trump gained 370k amidst this coalition shift in a shrinking state, only to be lapped by Biden with 535k after no new net positive Dem votes in 12 years.

Pelosi's Contemptible Fraud.  A moron could deduce that where there are 44 million mailed and "dumped" ballots floating around, strange things are likely to happen in an election where a flip of 50,000 votes in three states would have changed the election result. [...] In Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, there were a great many more votes than were needed to change the election result that were either unverifiable as valid or counted without the required effective observation of the representatives of all of the parties in the election.  In each case, the modifications to voting conditions taken allegedly in respect of the requirements of the pandemic to facilitate access to the polls, were not approved by the state legislatures as the Constitution requires, but by either the state executive or judicial branches.  None of these cases was judged on its merits and all were rejected for process reasons.  In these circumstances, it would have been astonishing if the 75 million Trump voters and the candidate himself were not seriously aggrieved.

Colorado is investigating how Mesa County's election system passwords ended up on the internet.  Colorado state officials are investigating a county election office after passwords for its voting systems were posted online, the Secretary of State announced Monday [8/9/2021].  The breach included specific passwords from Mesa County's voting equipment, Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold said in a statement.  The passwords were posted on a far-right blog, according to a spokesperson from Griswold's office.  Griswold called it a "a serious breach" in a statement, but said it did not happen during the past election or create any risk to state elections.  It is likely that the passwords were collected during software updates to voting equipment in Mesa County on May 25, 2021, Griswold said.

Fox News Edits Dan Bongino Interview With President Trump to Delete The President's Comments About Voter Fraud and The Rigged Election.  President Trump appeared on Fox News for an interview with Dan Bongino last night [8/7/2021].  Unfortunately, when the interview segment was posted to the Fox News channel, some specific words from President Trump were deleted from the interview segment.  Ironically the name of Dan Bongino's show is "unfiltered."  Alas when President Trump's spokesperson, Liz Harrington, reviewed the tape she discovered the censorship [...]  [Video clip]

On DOJ's Election-Integrity-Suppression Efforts.  The DOJ would appear to be seeking to dissuade states from doing more audits like Arizona's.  Recent actions rare positively goonish: threatening states if they do independent audits?  Treating the petition of government for redress of grievance (by rallying in support of audits, for example) might be prosecuted as voter intimidation?  That's nuts.

Election Observers Alarmed Over Newsom Recall:  All California Voters Can Download Ballots in the 'Comfort of Their Own Home'.  California's recall election may be an exercise in futility unless voters put in safeguards to stop a downloadable ballot system from leading to ballot harvesting in order to keep unpopular Governor Gavin Newsom in office.  The "Remote Accessible Ballots for Eligible Voters" is being touted by California Secretary of State Shirley Weber as a way for voters to download ballots in the "comfort of their own home."  "For the November 3, 2020 General Election, any voter can request to use Remote Accessible Vote by Mail," the Secretary of State's website states.

California Democrats' Audit-Proof Voter Fraud Mechanism Rolls Out Ahead of Newsom Recall Vote.  While many states continue to battle over ballot audits from the 2020 presidential election, California will not have to worry about such things thanks in large part to a little-known loophole recently added to the books.  Remote Accessible Vote By Mail (RAVBM) allows the state and any cheaters within the Secretary of State's office to add however many ballots to the total that they need in order to keep Newsom in power.  But unlike other states, California's system makes it virtually untraceable.  As FFN co-founder Jeff Dornik noted on Twitter, they just made the change to the Orange County voting page.  Just last week, the page read, "The Remote Accessible Vote-By-Mail ballot provides voters with disabilities and overseas voters the option to request a Vote-By-Mail ballot to be delivered electronically.  This is also available to voters affected by COVID-19.  The electronic ballot can be downloaded to the voter's computer, marked using the voter's own assistive technology and then printed."  It was bad enough to say that it was available to voters affected by COVID-19, but to make sure there was absolutely no ambiguity ahead of early voting which starts August 16, they changed that portion to include all voters.

Voter Group Says '157,299 Illegal Ballots' [were] Cast in [the 2020] Wisconsin Election.  A team of researchers from the Looking Ahead America Research Group ("LAA") led by Matt Braynard says they've located more than enough illegally cast ballots to establish "beyond a reasonable doubt that the deserved winner of Wisconsin is unknowable."  A report produced by the group in late July identified "seven tranches of illegal ballots."  The categories of illegal ballots range from voters who improperly claimed to be indefinitely confined to those who cast votes while living in a different state or illegally registered to vote.  Under Wisconsin law, a voter may receive a ballot by mail and bypass Wisconsin's strict voter ID law, if the voter, by his or her own determination, concludes he or she is "confined" based on age, physical illness, or infirmity.  Last fall, roughly 240,000 voters in Wisconsin said they were indefinitely confined, nearly a four-fold increase from the 2016 election.  Of that number, over 169,000 claimed the indefinitely confined status for the first time.

Soros Backed Colorado Secretary of State Called Meeting to Steal Elections Into Perpetuity, Instead Massive Crowd Attends and Calls for Forensic Audit of 2020 Election.  Colorado's Soros Backed Secretary of State, Jena Griswold called for more corruption in Colorado indicating that she very likely did these actions in the 2020 Election and now wants to make them permanent. [...] Ms. Griswold's meeting didn't go as she hoped but she never attended to see it for herself. [...] It's doubtful any actions to perform an audit in Colorado will be put in place by Griswold.  Hopefully, some other avenue to get to the truth of the 2020 Election in Colorado will be uncovered.

Wisconsin Election Officials Remove Over 205,000 From Voter Rolls.  Election officials in Wisconsin have deleted more than 205,000 names from voter registration rolls as part of maintaining the lists, they announced on Aug. 4.  More than 174,000 of the voters hadn't voted in the past four years and didn't respond to a mailing, according to the Wisconsin Elections Commission.  The deactivation was required under Wisconsin law.  "Many of the deactivated voters have moved and can re-register at their new address.  Some of the voters had died and a few others asked to have their registrations canceled," Meagan Wolfe, the commission's administrator, said in a statement.  Another 12,121 voters returned the mailing within 30 days of receipt, which kept them active.

Was Joe Biden Spotted 8.1 Million Votes?  They tell you Joe Biden got 81 million votes in November.  More than anyone in history, including birthday boy Barack Obama. [...] 81 million.  If you're Hillary Clinton, you're saying, "There's no way he got 15 million more votes than me!"  Former military intelligence officer and election data analyst Seth Keshel would tell Hillary she's right.  Keshel's been studying election trends, population trends, registration rolls, party affiliation and several other data points.  His conclusion?  Biden was given 8.1 million excess votes.  Trump won Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Nevada, Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota.  And may well have won New Mexica, Virginia, Colorado, New Jersey and New Hampshire if cyber flipping occurred (as Mike Lindell insists he'll prove next week).

Top Arizona Senator Asks State AG to Investigate Maricopa County Over Subpoena Resistance.  A top Republican senator in Arizona is asking the state's attorney general to probe Maricopa County officials over their refusal to fully comply with subpoenas deemed lawful by a judge.  Arizona Senate Majority Whip Sonny Borrelli submitted a formal request on Tuesday to Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, a fellow Republican, to probe the county's Board of Supervisors for the failure to comply.  "The supervisors are acting as if they are above the law, and it is an insult to the citizens of our state," Borrelli said in a statement.  The documents making the request, made public by Arizona Sen. Wendy Rogers, shows that Borrelli is accusing the county of breaking state law governing compliance with subpoenas issued by the state legislature.

Democrats' election bills ignore the Founders' principles.  When the Constitution was written, the Framers expressly warned of the need to keep the federal government at bay in elections.  South Carolina constitutional convention delegate Charles Pinckney noted that "great care was used to provide for the election of the president of the United States independently of Congress; to take the business as far as possible out of their hands."  It was done, he explained, because Congress "had no right to meddle with it at all."  Many Framers feared the power of the central government and wanted to prevent the abuses of Great Britain in the use of executive powers.  This view was reflected in the Electors Clause of Article II, Section 1, which confines the power of Congress to determining "the day on which [electors] give their votes; which day shall be the same throughout the United States."  Where Congress is left with the timing of such elections, states are left the manner in which those elections are held.  Not only did this state control over elections advance the purpose of decentralization of authority, it reflected the strong federalism principles in the Constitution.  States were viewed as "laboratories of democracy," with each pursuing different approaches to governmental functions, including elections.  They also were closest to the voters, who could more readily change laws and policies on the state level.

Dominion's Response to Arizona Senate's Subpoena Proves U.S. Elections are No Longer 'Free & Fair'.  Private corporations now hold power over U.S. elections that is not accountable to the American voters.  Secretive privately owned, profit-driven voting machine companies can withhold source codes, data, and security passwords from voters without recourse.  They can veto any legal attempt at transparency and accountable, such as denying subpoenaes from elected officials.  A letter send from Dominion President & CEO John Poulos to lawyer Kory Langhofer demonstrates this disturbing reality:  The American people no longer even control their own elections.  This is the lesson of Dominion Voting Systems' response to the Arizona Senate's subpoena for election-related servers and passwords on Monday [8/2/2021].

Dr. Shiva Discovers Existence of the Secretive Long Fuse Report — Exposes Twitter-Government Collusion.  Previously we reported on Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai was able to uncover Twitter's "partner support portal."  Dr. Shiva discovered that Twitter built a special portal offered to certain governmental entities so that government officials can flag and delete content they dislike for any reason, as part of what they call their "Twitter Partner Status."  Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai, the man who invented email, ran for US Senate in Massachusetts as a Republican and made allegations of voter fraud on Twitter.  These tweets were then deleted by the far-left tech giant.  Later it was discovered that they were deleted at the direction of government employees of the Massachusetts Secretary of State's office.  Discovering this, Dr. Ayyadurai filed a federal lawsuit by himself, alleging that his federal civil rights were violated when the government silenced his political speech in order to affect an election.

After Dominion Defied Arizona Senate's Subpoenas a Dominion Whistleblower Has Stepped Forward and Allegedly Revealed that the State Has the Passwords and the Machines Can Be Connected to the Internet.  Officials in Arizona's largest county and Dominion Voting Systems on Monday announced their defiance of the state Senate's latest round of subpoenas, continuing a feud that started last year.  Maricopa County's Board of Supervisors decided in a closed session not to deliver any more election-related materials or information to the Arizona Senate, despite a judge earlier this year ruling subpoenas from the body lawful.  [Tweet]  Dominion outright refused to comply with the subpoena, saying in a letter that the request "violates (the company's) constitutional rights and ... exceeds the Legislature's constitutional and statutory authority.  Doing so would cause grave harm."  Dominion also objected to public records requests made by the Arizona Senate seeking records from its company.  CEO John Poulos told Langhofer in a missive that Dominion is not a public body and therefore "has no obligation to make its records available for public inspection."  He also alleged that security keys and passwords needed to access some levels of the machines used in Maricopa County — the ones the county claims it does not hold — are not public records.

Trump Accuses Legacy Media of Spreading 'Fake News' Claim 'No Evidence of Election Fraud'.  Former President Donald Trump accused legacy media outlets on Aug. 1 of continuously spreading the claim that "there is no evidence of election fraud," noting in a statement that "in the end, truth will win."  "The New York Times, and others, always insert a clause into their stories, 'without evidence, that the election was decided fraudulently.'  As usual, this is fake news," Trump said in a statement.  Trump said that there's "massive" and "unconditional" evidence that the 2020 presidential election was "shattered with fraud and irregularities" at a level that has never been seen before in the United States.  "Much of it is already public, and a great deal more is coming out in the very near future," he wrote.  "Every time you read a statement that there is 'no evidence of election fraud,' about the 2020 election scam, just attribute that statement to a crooked and collusive media (they work closely together with the radical left Democrats) that will do anything to hide the real facts of this election fiasco."

Elections Expert Seth Keshel Releases National Fraud Numbers:  Finds 8.1 Million Excess Votes in US Election, Affirms Trump Won PA, MI, WI, NV, AZ, GA and MN.  Retired Army intelligence captain, elections data expert, and former baseball analyst Seth Keshel released his final national fraud numbers over the weekend.  Seth Keshel examined the final vote counts in all 50 states compared to the estimated numbers based on changing state dynamics and trends to come up with his estimated voter fraud in each state.  He published his results on his popular Telegram page.  Keshel confirms President Trump won:  PA, MI, WI, NV, AZ, GA and MN.  And Keshel also believes cyber-flipping may have affected the results in NM, VA, NJ, and NH.  According to Keshel's investigation there were conservatively 8,144,000 excess Joe Biden votes recorded in the 2020 election.

Uncovered Email Shows Milwaukee Elections Executive Woodall-Vogg Laughing About the Election Steal on Election Night.  In the early hours of November 4th in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a batch of 143,379 ballots, all for Joe Biden were dropped.  We've unearthed an email that shows the culprits behind the 'drop' were laughing about it.  We all now know about the many states that dropped huge numbers of ballots stealing the race for Joe Biden.  On the morning of November 4th, America woke up to see the results of the massive fraud in multiple swing states.  In Wisconsin, over 140,000 ballots for Joe Biden alone were dropped in Milwaukee, giving Biden the lead.  We've referred to this as the drop and roll.  [Video clip]

Is Maricopa's VRAS System at the Heart of Election Fraud?  The heart of Maricopa County's elections is a system called VRAS, the Voter Registration Access System.  It provides critical election functions, like real-time access to voter registration data, ballot and voting info, polling maps, candidate financial reports, ballot preparation, and polling location management, agreements, and so on.  It includes a database to generate reports like the bilingual pollworker report.  Or create lists of early voter information, or military voter information.  It supplies the data needed by Runbeck Election Services to print the hundreds of different ballots for precincts.  Runbeck also packs, distributes, and tracks all the ballots while updating VRAS.  VRAS was built internally, not by the Maricopa Board or it's Office of Enterprise Technology (OET).  It was created years ago by skilled software developers in the smallish IT Department of the County Recorder's Office.  Other than its SQL database, they used very little "off the shelf parts".  Not much is known about VRAS because of this approach.  In May 2019 a working group hired by MCBOS released their findings about election structure and technology.  It recommended the VRAS software be updated "just in case there's an audit".

Ballots Mailed in Maricopa County Showed an Individual's Party and Voter Registration Number — Likely Violating the Law.  Ballots used in Maricopa County in the 2020 primaries indicated the political party affiliation of the individual voter and the voter's registration number as well.  This appears to be blatant violations of an individual's privacy and voter protection standards.

Georgia Punches Back in Spirited Motion to Dismiss DOJ Election Integrity Lawsuit'.  The state of Georgia has filed a motion to dismiss the Department of Justice (DOJ) lawsuit aimed at its new, much-maligned election integrity law, S.B. 202, calling the legal action "a politicized intrusion into the State of Georgia's constitutional authority to regulate the 'time, place, and manner' of its election."  Georgia secretary of state Brad Raffensperger concurred, saying in a Friday interview with National Review that "the left" had an "agenda" that they were going to push regardless of what the state's legislature did.  "No matter what was passed, they were going to be against it and the DOJ just, in effect parroted what was already out there with the misinformation, the disinformation," he asserted.  "What you saw is that Stacey Abrams and her allies, two weeks before the bill was even passed bought 'Jim Crow 2.0,' and they hadn't even finalized what the reading of the bill was."

NYT Op-Ed:  Allow Foreign Nationals to Vote in U.S. Elections with Democrats as 'Biggest Beneficiaries'.  The United States ought to allow foreign nationals legally in the U.S. to vote in local, state, and federal elections with Democrats as the "biggest beneficiaries," a New York Times op-ed argues.  The Times op-ed, titled "There Is No Good Reason You Should Have to Be a Citizen to Vote" and authored by Atossa Araxia Abrahamian, contends that U.S. elections should be opened to those of voting-age in the nation's 15 million-strong legal immigrant population who arrived on temporary visas or green cards but do not have American citizenship.

Combine non-citizens voting with vote-by-mail, and Kamala Harris could potentially be re-elected with half a billion votes!

Biden DOJ Sends a Warning to States Eliminating Pandemic Election Law Exceptions.  It is always amazing to observe how the Biden administration and Democrats ignore the preferences of the American people in deference to their own political ambitions.  It is also interesting to note that they insist Biden won fair and square but they are also clinging to election law exceptions ostensibly put in place due to the pandemic — and presenting them as the norm for the future.  Even though no one is really buying their "Jim Crow 2.0" narrative, they continue to charge ahead.  On Wednesday [7/28/2021], the Biden Department of Justice (DOJ) sent a guidance document warning states about the election security laws under consideration or already signed into law.

Mike Lindell pulls MyPillow ads from Fox News.  MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell said he directed the removal of his company's advertisements from Fox News programming after the network declined to run one of his commercials.  The ad he sought to have aired promotes his cyber symposium event that will discuss the 2020 election.  Lindell has repeatedly asserted the election was fraudulent, claiming Dominion Voting Systems machines were manipulated to steal votes from former President Donald Trump.  Election officials and the company have rejected the claims.  Lindell asserted the commercial would not discuss claims of election fraud, according to the Wall Street Journal, but he has said the event will prove election fraud.  Lindell also offered to award $5 million to any person attending the event who can disprove data he claims demonstrate election fraud.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell pulls ads from Fox News after network REFUSED to run commercial linked to claims of 2020 voter fraud.  MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has pulled his company's ads from Fox News after it refused to run a commercial linked to claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election.  Lindell, 60, told the Wall Street Journal that he asked Fox News to run a commercial promoting the cyber symposium he plans to live stream next month.  The staunch Trump ally told the outlet that the commercial wouldn't specifically mention claims of election fraud.  However, he said the symposium 'will prove the 2020 election was stolen' from then-President Donald Trump.

Justice Department escalates warning to states over GOP voting laws and election audits.  The Justice Department fired a fresh round of warning shots at Republican-led state voting laws and GOP-led 2020 election audits on Wednesday [7/28/2021].  With the release of two new federal guidance memos, Attorney General Merrick Garland made it abundantly clear he's not easing the pressure after he filed a high-profile lawsuit against Georgia last month and threatened action against the Arizona Senate's controversial audit of the Maricopa County election ahead of its release of a report expected later this summer.  The Justice Department said Wednesday that its two "guidance documents" would help "ensure states fully comply with federal laws regarding elections" and pointed specifically to "federal statutes affecting methods of voting" and "federal constraints" related to post-election "audits" — which it repeatedly put in quotes.

Biden DOJ Steps In — Issues Guidelines Cautioning States Performing Audits of Election Results.  The Biden DOJ put out a warning to states who choose to audit the fraudulent 2020 election results!  First, they threatened Arizona.  Now they're threatening the rest of the country!

Twitter Suspends 2020 Election Audit Accounts For Multiple States.  Twitter on Tuesday banned several accounts linked to official 2020 election audits, including Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, Pennsylvania.  [Tweets]& nbsp; The move comes one day after former Arizona GOP Secretary of State Ken Bennett — who's serving as the Arizona Senate Republicans' liaison to an ongoing audit, raised concerns over being excluded from the process.  "I cannot be a part of a process that I am kept out of critical aspects along the way that make the audit legitimate and have integrity when we produce the final report," Bennett told conservative talkshow host James Harris.  "And unfortunately, there have been too many of those situations.  And the tip of the iceberg kind of came out last Friday when I was denied access to the audit."

The DOJ is abusing its power in Georgia.  Last month, the Department of Justice announced it was suing Georgia, claiming the state's election integrity law violates the Voting Rights Act.  This is yet another abuse of power by President Joe Biden's DOJ.  Earlier this year, Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General Pam Karlan attempted to intimidate the people running the Maricopa County audit in Arizona.  The DOJ complaint reads like a swampy fever dream, full of conspiracies and plots to block access to the ballot box.  Remember, the Georgia law merely requires mail-in ballots to have what in-person voters have:  proof the person casting the ballot is who they say they are.  The burden?  Write down some numbers from a voter card the state sent the person for free.

Florida Lawmaker Demands 2020 Election Audit To Insure Voter Confidence.  Florida State Representative and U.S. congressional candidate Anthony Sabatini (R) demanded the Florida Secretary of State and local Supervisors of Elections "initiate a forensic audit of the 2020 election in Florida's five largest counties to help ensure voter confidence."  "A full forensic audit of the five counties must be done immediately," Sabatini announced in a press release.  "Florida voters' confidence in our elections is at an all-time low.  Disturbing revelations in Arizona, Georgia, and other states make clear that the Secretary of State needs to do more than attempt to secure future elections."

Arizona Senate issues audit subpoena for Maricopa County routers.  The Republican-led Arizona Senate served a new subpoena to Maricopa County officials seeking routers for its audit of the 2020 election.  Bill Gates, a Republican member of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, revealed the development during an appearance Monday night on CNN.  "Right before I came on here, the board of supervisors received another subpoena from the state Senate ordering us to turn over the routers, in addition to some other information.  And they threaten us in these papers that if we do not turn those over by Aug. 2 — so that's next Monday — then we could be held in contempt," he said.  Images of the subpoena, which includes a demand for the routers or "virtual images of the same" as well as the public IP of each router as part of a broader demand for election-related materials, were later shared on social media by local reporters.

2020 Election:  Another Look at Arizona Election Numbers.  Don't look to the legacy media for anything other than a surface pass at what is being uncovered by the Arizona audit.  The Arizona senate hearing on 15 July gave us a taste of what to expect in the final audit report, but just about the only story endlessly repeated by the Democrat-media complex was this one which was magically produced by the Associated Press just one day later:  ["]Arizona county election officials have identified fewer than 200 cases of potential voter fraud out of more than 3 million ballots cast in last year's presidential election, further discrediting former President Donald Trump's claims of a stolen election as his allies continue a disputed ballot review in the state's most populous county.["]  In other words, never mind the devastating testimony given at the senate hearing; "there are only 200 cases found" (and by implication, the audit is a waste of time).

Maryland Voter Integrity Group Finds Serious Anomalies in Four Maryland Counties.  The Maryland Voter Integrity Group is the latest state organization to find flagrant anomalies in the 2020 presidential election.  The Maryland Voter Integrity Group found serious anomalies in four Maryland Counties.  According to their findings, the Democratic vote increase spiked to between 34-37% in four targeted counties.  This appears to have taken place without any measurable population growth, registration expansion, or vote increase for either party.  So add Maryland to the list of states with fraudulent 2020 election results.

Wisconsin Moves Forward with Election Forensic Audit.  Rep. [Janel] Brandtjen is the Chair of the Wisconsin Assembly Committee on Campaigns and Elections.  She visited the Maricopa audit earlier this month.  On Monday she called for an Arizona-style audit of Wisconsin's November election.

The Left's Attempted Election Takeover.  Politicians in Washington are trying to impose a federal takeover of elections and force changes to state laws that would allow for greater fraud and tampering.  You've helped sound the alarm about the so-called For the People Act, or HR 1.  Now, with opposition mounting, politicians have a new plan they hope to ram through Congress.  Their new bill would eliminate important safeguards that protect our elections.  They don't care that your vote could be canceled out by someone else's illegal one.  HR 4, the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, is named after a civil rights icon.  But its intent isn't to protect a right John Lewis and so many others fought for.  In reality, it's a power grab by politicians who want to manipulate elections to try to stay in office, regardless of what voters want.  That's the stuff of Third World banana republics.

Arizona: 74K Excess Votes Still In Doubt.  It bears repeating — whenever the media claims something is false or it's a conspiracy theory, then the opposite is probably true.  When Cyber Ninjas CEO Doug Logan announced that the audit found 74K absentee ballots that were not mailed to voters (among other serious issues with Maricopa's election), the media's reflex reaction was to scramble and say it was debunked.  As it stands right now, those votes are still of questionable origin because neither Maricopa County nor a media data analyst have answered the question by using the authoritative data source.

Did Maricopa transfer 120K excess Biden votes to other counties?  When the Maricopa Audit team briefed Senators Karen Fann and Warren Petersen, it came as no surprise (to me) that they did not mention that by 8:04 PM MST on Election night that Joe Biden received 120,807 more votes than possible in Maricopa County.  Why didn't the auditors report this discrepancy?  Several reasons, but at the top is that the auditors cannot explain what happened to the excess 120K votes until they get access to the Maricopa County router data.  Those Biden votes had to go somewhere.  As I explained in my blogpost, "Maricopa Caught Red Handed," there are no other counties in Arizona that could have generated the two massive vote dumps that happened about one hour after the polls closed.  Pima County had the second most votes cast in Arizona — at 526,319 about 100K fewer than the vote dump shown at 23 PCT.  The dump at 69 PCT could have only come from Maricopa.

Democrats, double standards, and the Capitol riot committee.  House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she barred Representatives Jim Jordan and Jim Banks from the Capitol riot investigating committee because the two Republicans "had made statements and taken actions that I think would impact the integrity of the committee." [...] But what about Pelosi's Democratic choices for the committee? [...] Start with Pelosi's pick for chairman, Representative Bennie Thompson.  On a long-ago January 6 — in 2005, when Congress met to certify President George W. Bush's victory in the 2004 presidential election — Thompson challenged the certification of the results from Ohio.  At the time, some progressive Democrats were promoting wild theories about alleged tampering with electronic voting machines in the state.  The House Democrats who voted against certification for Ohio's results said they were simply protesting the result, and not trying to overturn the election.  But the fact is, they focused their challenge on a single state, which just happened to be the decisive state in the 2004 contest.  Had they gotten their way, and had Ohio been put in Democrat John Kerry's column instead of Bush's, Kerry would have been elected president.

Texas AG Paxton Says He Endorses Election Audit in Texas.  Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said he endorses an audit of the state's 2020 election results, coming days after a state representative introduced a bill that would carry out an election review of Texas's 13 most populous counties.  "I don't know why we wouldn't want to give people confidence in our elections, and give them the chance to know for sure that they've had an audit, and things are good or they're bad," Paxton told talk radio host Chad Hasty in an interview this week.  "And it gives us an opportunity to figure out how we want to correct that."  Rep. Steve Toth, a Republican, introduced the audit measure earlier this month, which would target counties with more than 415,000 population.  Harris, Dallas, Bexar, Tarrant, Collin, Travis, Denton, Hidalgo, Fort Bend, El Paso, Williamson, Montgomery, and Cameron counties would be included in the review.

Eighteen states have enacted new laws that make it harder [for dead people] to vote [more than once].  Eighteen states have enacted 30 new laws that make it harder to vote, according to a new tally by the liberal-leaning Brennan Center for Justice that tracks state activity through July 14.  Among the most common provisions, according to Brennan's researchers:  Measures in seven states that either expand officials' ability to purge voters from the registration rolls or put voters at risk at having their names improperly removed.  Those laws were enacted in Arizona, Iowa, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Texas and Utah, the center found.

The Editor says...
Not everyone who is registered to vote is still living at the address given on their registration.  Some are no longer living at all.  It should be easy to strike those names from the voter registration rolls, because there is no legitimate reason for those people to be registered to vote.

Pennsylvania county refuses access to voting machines for forensic audit.  At least one of the three Pennsylvania counties contacted by a top Republican state lawmaker seeking election materials and information for a "forensic investigation" of the 2020 election and 2021 primary will not offer up its voting machines for review.  The trio of commissioners in rural Tioga County, which was won by former President Donald Trump in November, decided they would not allow access to their voting machines after Pennsylvania's Department of State advised counties against giving "third-party entities" access to the equipment or they'd risk decertification.  "We can't be in a position where we don't have the election machines because we have to run the next election, these are extremely expensive machines, and our position is we need to follow the direction that [acting Secretary of State Veronica Degraffenreid] has given us," the county's solicitor, Christopher Gabriel, said Wednesday [7/21/2021].

Eloquent Grassroots Effort in York County Pennsylvania Supporting an Election Audit.  Speaking to the city council leadership, one woman takes a stand in York County asking for an audit.  The audio is a little troublesome, but it is worth the time:  "This is what happens when the people invest their time in learning the real law and their real powers.  Darla B gives deep details about how Mastriano came to the point of calling for a full forensic audit."  [Video clip]

Voting machines in Pennsylvania's Fulton County decertified after audit.  Voting machines in Pennsylvania's Fulton County were decertified after local officials complied with a GOP-backed ballot audit and allowed a third-party contractor to access data.  The rural county, which borders Maryland, must do away with its Dominion Democracy Suite 5.5A voting system, employed in the 2020 presidential election, after Wake TSI, a software company, was allowed in December to gain access to and look over its "election database, results files, and Windows system logs," acting Secretary of State Veronica Degraffenreid told county officials in a letter on Tuesday [7/20/2021].  The company, which has largely worked with clients in the healthcare sector, had "no knowledge or expertise in election technology," said Degraffenreid, who concluded the ballot hardware was "compromised."

Pennsylvania Decertifies Fulton County's Voting System After Post-Election Audit.  Pennsylvania's top election official has decertified the voting machines of a small southern county that disclosed that it had agreed to requests by local Republican lawmakers and allowed a software firm to inspect the machines as part of an "audit" after the 2020 election.  The action by Acting Secretary of State Veronica Degraffenreid almost certainly means that Fulton County will have to buy or lease new voting machines.

Democrats Slam Voting Machines and Undermine Confidence in America's Elections.  Big Tech undeniably censored the American people for questioning the results of the 2020 election.  Former President Donald Trump, several of his advisers, and even various citizens simply sharing their opinion were banned from major public platforms.  This was in addition to various other Orwellian information-suppression techniques, such as flagging posts where Twitter staffers editorially disagreed, 'fact-checking'claims with partisans invested in seeing Biden win the election, and 'shadow-banning' commenters who seemed to be a bit too skeptical about the various election anomalies and irregularities.  But before the unprecedented crackdown on speech under the well-worn excuse of "public safety," a favorite among authoritarians since the French Revolution, was the 2016 election and the Democratic Party.

The Truth About Georgia's Voting Law.  The recent Georgia voter reform law requires voters to provide identification to receive an absentee ballot.  Since 2008, the state has required a voter to show a government-issued photo ID when he or she votes in person.  To require the same level of security for absentee voting seems to make perfect sense.  In fact, one wonders why this wasn't addressed sooner.  There's simply no good evidence that possessing an ID presents a hardship to voting.  Have you ever met anyone who didn't have an ID?  Anyone?  When a federal judge threw out the ACLU-led lawsuit against Georgia's in-person voter ID law, he noted that in two years of litigation, the challengers could not produce a single resident of the state unable to vote because of the new ID requirement.  But wait, as they say in TV ads, there's more!  The new Georgia law says you can satisfy the voter ID requirement with a "copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck, or other government document that shows the name and address" of the would-be voter.

Elections Attorney David Shestokas:  State Legislatures Have Plenary Power Over Elections — House and Senate May Decertify With Joint Resolution.  The U.S. Constitution grants plenary power to the State Legislature to oversee elections and choose or withdraw their state's electors.  Attorney David Shestokas, Hearing Officer for the Chicago Board of Elections was a member of President Trump's legal team.  He is an elections and constitutional expert with over 30 years of experience and multiple books published. [...] The Gateway Pundit's Jordan Conradson spoke to David Shestokas to learn more about the constitution in regards to decertifying a fraudulent election.  It is possible and it will happen.

10 Reasons to Question the Election.  [#1] Eyewitness testimony.  Since November 3, hundreds of people have come forward to report that they personally witnessed various irregularities in the vote-counting process: ballots run through tabulating machines multiple times; "pristine" mail-in ballots; ballots that appeared to have been printed on different paper or filled out by machines — the list goes on.  Two questions come to mind.  First, what would these witnesses stand to gain by making knowingly false claims?  Many submitted actual affidavits, subjecting themselves to potential legal liability.  Second, could that many people simply be mistaken?  It seems unlikely.  [#2] Our own eyes.  Actually, the eyewitness testimony confirms what many of us have since seen for ourselves, via security camera footage:  cases of ballots being pulled out from under tables in Fulton County, Georgia, right after observers were told to go home for the night.  Vans pulling up to TCF Center in Detroit, with dozens of boxes unloaded in the dead of night.  We also saw, live on television, huge, sudden jumps in vote totals for Biden, in some cases accompanied by corresponding drops in Trump's totals.  Are there innocent, plausible explanations?  Perhaps.  But I have yet to hear any.

Joe Biden's Misery Index Rises.  It is obvious that there were serious problems with the 2020 presidential election and no matter how endlessly and emphatically all of the elements of the anti-Trump coalition and the almost totalitarian unanimity of the national political media repeat that there is no room for belief that the election produced a fraudulent result, a very large number of Americans, for excellent reasons, believe that it was a tainted election.  There were 18 challenges to the constitutional integrity of the election in the six swing states to which all problems of voting or vote counting were confined.  In addition, there was the Texas attorney general's case alleging that the swing states did not meet the constitutional requirement of ensuring fair presidential elections.  The judiciary at every level refused to judge any of these cases on their merits and the abdication of the judiciary from its coequal status with the executive and legislative branches in the exercise of its highest responsibility — to assure fair elections to national office — and disquiets and rankles with every thinking American.

Zombie chimps from heck.  This nation's president calls a proposed voter identification requirement "Jim Crow on steroids," an existential threat to democracy.  But even an idiot understands that in a world where store clerks check the IDs of 50-year-olds buying beer, it's ludicrous not to request an ID from some homeless guy being paid to vote.  If an idiot understands this, what kind of society is led by a man who pretends the opposite is true?

61% of Voters Agree with Trump on Need for State Election Reform.  Rasmussen Reports released a poll Tuesday [7/20/2021] that shows 61 percent of likely voters agree with a statement former President Donald Trump issued last week:  "Election Reform must happen in Swing States like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Arizona where voters have lost confidence in their electoral process." [...] This is just more proof that the Democrat party's jihad to legalize cheating at the polls is backfiring big-time.  Even as Democrats, like the poisonous Stacey Abrams, and their allies in the fake news media scream Racism! and Jim Crow!, most especially about something as basic as requiring a photo ID to vote, public opinion is moving against them, way against them, with this poll on top of a poll showing a whopping 75 percent in favor of voter ID.

Speaker of Georgia House Urges Fulton County to Request 'Independent Forensic Probe' Into 2020 Election.  Georgia's House speaker says Fulton County should be the subject of an independent probe after multiple reports have emerged detailing alleged issues with the Nov. 3, 2020, election and an audit that occurred after the contest.  Rep. David Ralston, a Republican who is speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives, noted in a recent letter that there are serious questions about how the election unfolded in Georgia's largest county, which includes Atlanta.  "Recently, media reports have surfaced which call into question the way in which Fulton County conducted, counted, and audited the November 2020 Presidential Election.  These reports have been accompanied by video and other evidence which is part of ongoing litigation and requires thorough examination and explanation," Ralston told Fulton County's Elections Director Richard Barron.

Motion to Proceed Immediately with Ballot Inspection in Fulton County Submitted to Superior Court.  The motion to proceed immediately with ballot inspection in Fulton County, Georgia has been submitted to the county's Superior Court.  The news came by way of court documents made public on Tuesday.  "Motion to immediately proceed with ballot inspection:  Come now, Petitioners Garland Favorito, Michael Scupin, Trevor Terris, Sean Draime, Stacey Doran, Christopher Peck, and Brandi Taylor (hereafter the Favorito Petitioners), by and through their attorneys of record, and file their motion to immediately proceed with ballot inspection," the motion stated.  [Embedded document]  "Wherefore, the Favorito Petitioners pray:  a) That the court SETS a date, time and location to conduct the planning meeting for the ballot inspection immediately," it continued.  "That the court ORDERS the ballot inspection commence immediately after a suitable ballot inspection plans is devised; AND for any other relief the Court DEEMS just and proper."

Fact-Checking 6 Claims at Senate Democrats' Voting Law Hearing.  Senate Democrats took their push to nullify state election laws on the road Monday, holding a "field hearing" in Atlanta to attack Georgia's recent election reforms and promote their bill to eliminate voter ID and other requirements.  Only Democrat members of the Senate Rules and Administration Committee showed up to question witnesses, also all Democrats.  Committee Chairwoman Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., said Republicans had the opportunity to call a witness to defend the Georgia law, but didn't request one.  A spokesperson for the committee's ranking member, Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., didn't respond Monday to The Daily Signal's emails and phone inquiries on this point.  The hearing, held at the National Center for Civil and Human Rights, included numerous assertions, some true, but others debunked in previous fact checks.

Georgia Voting Official Makes Excuses For Residents Who Illegally Voted in 2020.  As the Georgia secretary of state's office continues to investigate evidence that indicates more than 10,300 Georgians may have illegally voted in the November 2020 election, on Friday the office's chief operating officer reportedly defended voters for violating state election law.  "The reality is these are normal, everyday Georgians who are just trying to exercise their right to vote in a very weird year," Chief Operating Officer Gabriel Sterling reportedly told Atlanta's WSB-TV, when confronted with an admission from one voter that he had moved more than 30 days before the general election but cast his vote in the county in which he no longer lived.  As The Federalist reported last week, before Georgia certified its election results, President Trump challenged the state's tally that showed Joe Biden winning the general election by 11,779 votes out of nearly five million votes cast.  One of the more than 30 arguments Trump presented in his lawsuit challenging the election charged that nearly 40,000 Georgians illegally voted in a county in which they did not reside.

Speaker of Georgia House demands investigation into Fulton County election irregularities.  Georgia's Speaker of the House David Ralston is demanding an investigation to "determine if any irregularities or willful fraud occurred" in the state's largest metropolis last November, saying recent revelations about problems with vote counting in Fulton County merit an independent probe.  Ralston sent a letter late last week to Fulton County election officials requesting that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation be allowed to conduct the investigation.  The request comes after Just the News reported last month that an independent observer for Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger noted two dozen pages of irregularities in the Atlanta vote counting center last Nov. 3, including double scanning of ballots, insecure transportation of ballots and possible voter privacy violations.

How Democrats could steal the midterms.  By now everyone with two working brain cells knows, or pretends not to know, that Democrats cheated on a colossal scale to get Whisperin' Joe into the White House.  So it's safe to say that Republicans, having wised up to the Donks' stratagems and skullduggery, will capture both House and Senate in next year's midterms.  Right?  Yes.  That is, assuming elections actually take place on November 8, 2022. [...] Regarding national contests, things gets complicated, but here are two money quotes from a 2004 Congressional Research Service report on federal elections:  Congress would have the power, by statute, to "postpone ... House and Senate elections," and "Congress could enact a statute delegating the authority to postpone an election to the Executive Branch."  Justification for either action?  "Terrorism," "calamitous events," and the ambiguous "national emergency" — such as, say, civil disorder on a massive scale leading up to Election Day.

Douglas County Georgia voter fraud
Douglas County Georgia — Biden Allegedly Gets 100% Of The Vote In Many Batches.  Former President Donald Trump declared his opposition to a high-ranking Georgia Republican's bid for lieutenant governor.  Trump invited other Republicans to run against Senate President Pro Tem Butch Miller in the statement released late Wednesday.  "I will not be supporting or endorsing Sen. Butch Miller, running for lieutenant governor of Georgia, because of his refusal to work with other Republican senators on voter fraud and irregularities in the state," Trump said.  "Hopefully there will be strong and effective primary challengers for the very important lieutenant governor position!"  This statement comes after a series of allegations of voter fraud in Georgia went un-answered by some of Georgia's top-ranking GOP officials.


President Trump:  Arizona hearing shows there's enough fraud to change outcome of election.  President Trump said the Arizona Senate hearings have showed there is enough fraud to change the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.  In a statement on Friday, the 45th president said Fox News and other media outlets incorrectly sided with the county election board in reporting "no fraud" found.  He praised Arizona state senators, commending them on willing to fight for the truth.  He also noted several senators who said it was time to decertify the election and want to see indictments.

Wis. Rep. Ramthun calls for full forensic audit after 2020 ballot irregularities.  A Wisconsin state representative has called for a full forensic audit of the state's 2020 presidential election after reports were released there were ballot irregularities in Arizona and Georgia.  Republican Timothy Ramthun called for the move on Friday [7/16/2021].  "We need to create transparency and settle the debate of truth vs. conspiracy," Ramthun said in a statement.  "There is nothing of greater importance than ensuring that we uphold our constitutional rights to have a government of, by, and for the people."

Why Do Democrats Fear a Forensic Audit in Pennsylvania?  Democrats are apoplectic about the possibility of an audit of three counties in Pennsylvania.  Since everybody from The Hologram on down claims that the 2020 election "was the most secure in US history," what do they have to fear?  Or, more accurately, what are they trying to hide?  Let's review some key events in the Pennsylvania saga that perhaps the Democrat-media complex would like us to forget or ignore:

      113,870 votes subtracted from Donald Trump on November 3, 2020 between 9:16 pm ET and 9:17 pm ET on CNN.
      66,085 votes subtracted from Trump on November 3, 2020 between 9:16 pm ET and 9:24 pm ET on CNBC.
      19,958 votes subtracted from Trump and added to Biden on November 3, 2020 between 11:09 pm ET and 11:10 pm ET on CNN.
      Elections are an additive process — you count the votes — and add them up.

Arizona: The Roof Was Just Blown Off.  With the audit update briefing conducted by the Arizona Senate on Thursday, we are officially in uncharted territory, as the unofficial reports of voter fraud in Maricopa County made during that hearing require some drastic action when officially confirmed by the auditors in their report.  Think that is just some over-emotional hyperbole?  Let's jump to the punch line and list a few of the bombshell disclosures from that hearing, courtesy of Arizona Conservatives Take Action on Telegram:  [Numerous details]

The 2017 Astros Stole Signs and the 2020 Democrats Stole Votes.  [Scroll down]  The world watched in breathless anticipation as the votes were tallied.  When the American people went to bed on election night, Donald Trump appeared to have hit a walk-off home run.  But as he rounded the bases, the umpire called time out.  Multiple states where Donald Trump held a commanding lead suddenly stopped counting votes for the night.  It was a dramatic and unprecedented event in American politics.  When the American people awoke the next morning, Joe Biden miraculously had taken the lead in every state Donald Trump had appeared certain to win.  We were treated to the most remarkable comeback in presidential election history.  The Democratic Party rushed to the microphones and proudly announced, "You know what America?  Joe Biden is the 46th president of the United States."  But in the months leading up to the election, armies of Democratic lawyers and politicians had swarmed the swing states that Donald Trump appeared poised to win, and lobbied the cities and states to change the voting laws.

Wisconsin Lawmaker Calls for 'Full Forensic Audit' After Georgia, Arizona Updates.  A Wisconsin representative on Friday [7/16/2021] said 2020 election reviews being done in the state should be expanded into a "full forensic audit" following alleged irregularities being revealed in Arizona and Georgia.  State Rep. Timothy Ramthun, a Republican, formally requested "a more comprehensive audit" from former state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman, who is leading a conducting a review of the election at the behest of Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos along with retired police officers, and the Legislative Audit Bureau, which lawmakers authorized earlier this year to investigate the election.  Vos and the audit bureau did not immediately respond to requests for comment.  Ramthun is pushing for the forensic audit after reviewing recently released information from two counties.

Wisconsin next?  GOP lawmaker asks for forensic audit of 2020 election.  One Wisconsin Republican wants to see if folded or printed ballots were counted in Wisconsin as they were in Georgia and Arizona.  Rep. Timothy Ramthun (R-Campbellsport) on Thursday asked for a full forensic audit of Wisconsin's 2020 presidential election. [...] Ramthun wants Wisconsin's Legislative Audit Bureau to look and see if Wisconsin had any machine-folded mail-in ballots, or ballots that were printed as opposed to filled in by hand.  He also wants to know if there were some absentee ballots that came back too perfect.  Ramthun said audits in both Georgia and Arizona found similar questionable ballots there.

AG Merrick Garland is accused of breaking his pledge to be 'nonpolitical' by posting statement blasting Georgia election law.  Attorney General Merrick Garland has been accused of breaking his pledge to be 'nonpolitical' by sharing a statement blasting election laws in Republican-led Georgia as he honored the anniversary of civil rights legend Rep. John Lewis' death.  Garland and the Department of Justice have gone after the state of Georgia over its voting law which he argues violates federal law by inhibiting voting rights on the basis of race.  The Justice Department sued the state in June after Republican Governor Brian Kemp signed a 98-page election law in March that made numerous changes to how elections will be administered, including a new photo ID requirement for voting absentee by mail.

Georgia Secretary Of State Explains Why He's Just Now Discovering More Than 10,000 Illegal Votes Cast In 2020.  During a detailed discussion with The Federalist on Wednesday [7/14/2021], representatives from the Georgia Secretary of State's office provided their perspective on new evidence suggesting more than 10,300 Georgian voters illegally cast ballots in the November 2020 general election.  Last week, The Federalist reported on recently obtained data indicating tens of thousands of Georgia voters had violated Section 21-2-218 of the state's election code, which requires residents vote in the county in which they reside, unless they had changed their residence within 30 days of the election.  Shortly after the November 2020 election, Mark Davis, the president of Data Productions Inc. and an expert in voter data analytics and residency issues, determined from National Change of Address records that nearly 35,000 Georgia voters who indicated they had moved from one Georgia county to another voted in the 2020 general election in the county from which they had moved.

Democrats Openly Assault Honest Elections, Ohio's Top Election Official Says.  The partisan divide in Washington is clear on a bill in Congress to eliminate most state voter ID laws while nationalizing election laws, but bipartisan consensus exists among local election officials, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose says.  "I can tell you in Ohio, as I talked to election officials — men and women that actually work at the Board of Elections on a daily basis — that on a bipartisan basis they were concerned about this dangerous bill," LaRose, a Republican who is the top election administrator in the Buckeye State, told The Daily Signal in a recent phone interview.  In a major speech Tuesday in Philadelphia, President Joe Biden made a strong, partisan-tinged push for passage of the For the People Act, which critics call the "Corrupt Politicians Act."  Democrats' bill, known as HR 1 in the House and S 1 in the Senate, would ditch most state voter ID laws, promote the controversial practice of ballot harvesting, allow automatic voter registration, and restrict updating of voter registration rolls.

Arizona Audit Finds Massive Irregularities, Including More Than 74,000 Mail-In Ballots Counted Than Mailed Out.  More than 74,000 mail-in ballots were received in Maricopa County, Arizona than appear to have been mailed out, a forensic audit has determined.  According to the auditors, 74,243 mail-in ballots were counted with "no clear record of them being sent."  The Arizona Senate, led by Senate President Karen Fann, held a hearing on Thursday to discuss the preliminary results of the first phase of the audit in Maricopa County.  The state senate heard testimony from three witnesses involved in the audit, Cyber Ninjas CEO Doug Logan, AZ audit Liaison Ken Bennett, and Ben Cotton, CEO and founder of Cytech Services.  During the hearing, the auditors revealed that Maricopa County still has not provided many materials needed to complete the audit, including routers, chain of custody documentation, and images of mail in ballots.  Logan said the information on the ballots provided by Maricopa County should have matched up, but were way off the mark.

Arizona Audit Hearing: Doug Logan from Cyber Ninjas Lays Out Duplicate Ballot Discrepancies.  The Arizona Senate held a hearing yesterday with audit officials which revealed mind-blowing discrepancies including over 74,000 more ballots RECEIVED by Maricopa County than the number of ballots sent out.  The Gateway Pundit reported that Arizona State Senator Wendy Rogers demanded decertification of this fraudulent election. [...] Maricopa County has refused to cooperate or comply since the beginning.  When they were asked to perform a full forensic audit with the Arizona Senate, they declined.  They later claimed the ballots and machines were compromised and needed to be replaced.

Here's What the Arizona Audit Is Really All About.  In an Arizona Senate hearing on the audits, Senator Karen Fann gave an excellent and reasonable explanation as to why these audits matter, and in fact why they are absolutely imperative.  Listening to her reasoning, it is hard to imagine anyone taking issue with a process that allows voters to peek at the integrity — or lack thereof — of their own election process.  Fann says these audits aren't about Trump, they are about transparency and restoring faith in the election process for the American people.  She reminded the detractors that "voters are constituents" and they have expressed fear and reservations about vote-counting in their state.  As representatives of their constituents, it is literally the state senate's job to respond to those questions and provide answers, if that is what the people desire.  The Senate has the responsibility to ease those fears by proving them wrong or by proving them right and passing laws to prevent such a thing from ever happening again.  It's hardly radical, but to hear the Democrats tell it, it's equivalent to a Hitlerian coup.  Fann's explanation is about as logical and reasonable as it gets.

Arizona state senator demands electors be recalled for new election, calls for audit of all 50 states.  Following an Arizona Senate hearing Thursday about the ongoing audit of Maricopa County's election results, a Republican state senator issued stunning tweets calling for the state's electors to be recalled and a new election held.  State Sen. Wendy Rogers, a retired Air Force pilot, posted the tweets after Cyber Ninjas CEO Doug Logan, CyFIR founder Ben Cotton and Arizona Senate Liaison Ken Bennett testified about their current findings.  "Thousands of names were added to the voting rolls after election day, but are recorded as casting a ballot in the 2020 election," Logan claimed at one point in the hearing.  Meanwhile, all three slammed the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors for refusing to hand over the additional information needed to complete the audit.

Donald Trump Reacts to 'Devastating' Findings in the Arizona Election Audit Update.  Donald Trump reacted to the prelimary findings of the independent election audit team that testified in an update to the Arizona Senate on Thursday [7/15/2021].  "Arizona Senate hearings on the Maricopa County Election Audit is devastating news to the Radical Left Democrats and the Biden administration," Trump said.  "While this, according to the Senate is preliminary, with results being announced at a later date, it seems that 74,234 Mail-in Ballots were counted with 'no clear record' of them being send," he added.  "There were 18,000 voters who were scrubbed from the voter rolls AFTER the election."

Vernon Jones Calls for Resignation of Georgia Governor Brian Kemp for Certifying 'Fraudulent Election'.  Georgia Republican gubernatorial candidate Vernon Jones is calling for the resignation of Governor Brian Kemp.  Jones is additionally calling for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to look into reports of tens of thousands of duplicate ballots that are missing chain of custody documents.  "Today, in addition to @BrianKempGA resignation, I am calling for an IMMEDIATE GBI investigation into reports of duplicate ballot counts and thousands of missing chain of custody documents.  Our Governor had a DUTY to do his due diligence before certifying our election," Jones tweeted.  "He FAILED."

Georgia Sec. of State calls for firing of Fulton County elections director and registration chief.  Georgia Sec. of State Brad Raffensperger called for the firing of Fulton County's elections director, Rick Barron, and the county's registration chief Ralph Jones on Thursday [7/15/2021].  The county's elections board voted in February to fire Barron, following a remarkably contentious election season.  Fulton's Board of Commissioners, however, did not endorse the move, leaving Barron in the position.  On Thursday, with Fulton again in the spotlight after Tucker Carlson focused on alleged election irregularities in the county in a report on his Fox News program on Wednesday night, Raffensperger made the call for Barron and Jones to be fired.

Fulton County Audit Uncovers 'Double-Scanned Ballots,' Mismarked Tally Sheets 'Entirely for Biden'.  An independent election audit team pouring through ballot images in Fulton County, Georgia is finding numerous examples of fraudulent ballots double-counted in the election.  The forensic auditing team walked people through the double-counted ballots from the 2020 election in a video release.  [Video clip]  The ballots scanned were identically marked in their entirety.  The issue with double-ballot counting is that it circumstantially corroborates video-recorded evidence that appears to show Fulton County election workers running stacks of ballots through tabulators.

Tucker Carlson Just Blew The Roof Off Of The Election Fraud In Fulton County.  "It now appears there actually was meaningful voter fraud in Fulton County, Georgia last November.  That is not a conspiracy theory.  It's true."  Tucker Carlson is the first mainstream journalist to openly call the 2020 elections fraudulent.  [Video clip]

Arizona Senate Seeks More Voter Data as Election Audit Raises Questions.  The Arizona Senate will seek more voter information from the state's most populous county after a hearing Thursday about an audit's findings on election results there, The Arizona Republic reported.  The findings on Maricopa County's presidential election results prompted auditors to pursue a door-to-door canvassing of suspect voters.  This was a step that the Republican-controlled state Senate had opted against after the U.S. Justice Department warned against it.  Nearly 4,000 Maricopa County voters in the presidential election registered after the court-ordered deadline of Oct. 15, according to Cyber Ninjas CEO Doug Logan, head of the company that conducted the election audit.

Maricopa County Auditors Seek Ballot Envelope Images, Splunk Logs After Discovering Discrepancies.  Teams conducting a forensic audit in Arizona's largest county said on July 15 that they want more items to complete their review, which has turned up several major discrepancies.  The auditors, led by Florida-based Cyber Ninjas, want ballot envelope images, router images, splunk logs, hard drives that contain information about the 2020 election in Maricopa County, and details on the county's policies and procedures as they try to complete a review that started nearly three months ago.  That information could help clear up issues that have been identified.  Doug Logan, CEO of Cyber Ninjas, told senators at the Arizona state Capitol during a hearing that auditors could find no record of the county sending more than 74,000 mail-in ballots.  He also said auditors found approximately 18,000 people voted but were removed from voter rolls "soon after the election, 11,326 people who were not on the voter rolls on Nov. 7, 2020, but appeared on the rolls on Dec. 4, 2020, and 3,981 people who voted after registering after Oct. 15, 2020."

Pennsylvania County Refuses Participation in New 2020 Election Audit.  At least one of three counties targeted for a forensic investigation of Pennsylvania's 2020 presidential election has said it will not allow access to its voting machines.  Pennsylvania Sen. Doug Mastriano, chair of the Intergovernmental Operations Committee, sent letters to election officials in three Pennsylvania counties, Philadelphia, York, and Tioga, requesting access to voting machines and information to be used as evidence in a forensic analysis of the 2020 election.  Tioga County Commissioners decided not to provide access after receiving a directive from the Pennsylvania Department of State ordering county boards of elections not to provide any access to third parties seeking to examine the systems or system components.  It further warned that if counties do allow access, the voting equipment will be considered no longer secure or reliable to use in future elections.  The department would decertify the expensive election equipment and counties would have to buy new voting machines on their own.

Arizona Chairwoman Kelli Ward Recaps Stunning Senate Hearing About Maricopa County Audit.  Arizona GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward provides an update tonight by recapping the Arizona Senate hearing today that exposed stunning election malfeasance in the Maricopa County ballot audit.  There is much more yet to come from the forensic audit finding, but the results so far show a significant collapse in voter integrity in the largest county vote.  As Ms. Ward notes, "This matter is far from over...".  There will be much more to come.  [Video clip]

Dominion Voting System's Website Goes Offline Right After Tucker's Report & AZ Audit Findings.  Dominion Voting Systems' official website appears to have gone offine, only to have returned with password authentication.  Dominionvoting.com returned with a password needed to proceed to the website.  DiscloseTV originally reported the website going off-line.  The timing of the password procedure being installed is odd, to say the least.  It follows Tucker Carlson's bombshell report on Fulton County, Georgia that shows the voter integrity group VoterGA revealing thousands of votes appeared to have been erroneously marked in ballot tallies for Joe Biden.

Allegations of Georgia Voter Fraud Highlighted by FNC's Tucker Carlson.  Wednesday [7/14/2021], Fox News Channel's Tucker Carlson showcased incidents of alleged voter fraud in Fulton County, GA 2020 presidential election vote tabulation.  According to Carlson, VoterGA, a group organizing a lawsuit seeking a rescan of ballots and a review of absentee ballots, alleged double-counted ballots, fabricated tally sheets and creaseless mail-in ballots.  [Lengthy transcript]

Forget about Booting Biden.  As the forensic audit in Maricopa County, Arizona, winds down, expectations are rising that the defects of the 2020 election will finally be addressed.  A recent poll reports that "more than half" of Republicans expect the audit to bounce President Biden out of office.  That's not going to happen.  And that's not a bad thing.  Fixing the 2020 election requires more than Biden has to offer.  Real reform requires going after the people who put Biden in office. [...] To understand why, let's start with the Maricopa audit.  It can't prove fraud.  All it can do is show if the county conducted the election according to legal minimum standards.  Given the long list of Election Day "anomalies" and "irregularities," it's an easy bet that the audit will show that Maricopa Country failed to meet those standards.  A failed audit is where the fun begins.  The Arizona state Legislature will have to conduct multiple investigations.  One to decide if negligence or fraud caused the failure.  A second investigation to decide how to prevent future failures.  Finally, if fraud is proven, multiple criminal investigations, arrests, and trials will have to take place.

Judge rejects Arizona Senate's bid to dismiss lawsuit seeking Maricopa audit records.  A judge rejected the Arizona Senate's motion to dismiss a lawsuit seeking the disclosure of records related to its 2020 election audit in Maricopa County.  American Oversight, a left-leaning watchdog group, filed the lawsuit seeking to force compliance with Arizona's Public Records Law.  But attorneys for the GOP-led Arizona Senate argued that the various documents and donor information sought in the case are not subject to public disclosure rules because they are held by Cyber Ninjas, a private firm based in Florida, and its subcontractors.  Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Michael Kemp said in his ruling on Thursday, which preceded an Arizona Senate hearing on the audit's progress, that he "completely rejects" the arguments presented by the defendants' attorneys.

It looks as if there was massive election fraud in Fulton County, Georgia.  Garland Favorito founded VoterGA, an election integrity organization that has tenaciously followed the November election in Fulton County, including the ballot storage and recounts.  His organization now has irrefutable proof that there was election and recount fraud in Fulton County, Georgia.  It's noteworthy that Biden "won" in Georgia by only 11,779 votes. [...] On November 3, Democrats conducted a fraudulent election in several key swing states.  The result was that Biden, a man of exceptional stupidity and corruption now occupies the Oval Office.  His Veep, Kamala Harris, is a woman fully as stupid as he is who is anxiously awaiting him to vacate that office.  What stands in her way is probably Mrs. Joe Biden, a woman with the soul of Lady Macbeth and the practices of Edith Wilson.  America is an incredibly resilient country and it had better be to survive this banana republic madness.

Georgia Secretary of State Finally Calls for Action on Fulton County Election 'Failures'.  Remember during all the election hullabaloo last year, when people were trying to figure out what had gone down in Georgia, the Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger was infuriated that anyone would raise questions about the election in his state.  The election in Georgia, Raffensperger assured us was "safe, secure, honest."  People questioned that at the time and now there are still concerns that Tucker Carlson raised last night on his show about Fulton County, Georgia.  Carlson highlighted two of the major concerns: that ballot images showed votes were scanned twice and that seven audit tally sheets showed falsified totals.  Now, one can try to make excuses for ballots being scanned twice, although as Tucker showed, there was video of it being done repeatedly.  What's hard to get around is the falsified tally sheets.  As he explained they would show, for example, a distribution of votes with some going to Joe Biden, some to President Donald Trump, and some to Jo Jorgensen.  But then it would be tallied as all for Biden.  What's the explanation for that?

'Massive Errors' Found During Georgia Election Investigation.  On Tuesday, VoterGA, a non-partisan organization in Georgia presented new evidence showing a score of significant errors with the November 2020 election results from Fulton County, Georgia.  The findings call into question the legitimacy of thousands of ballots, including 4,255 ballots that were apparently counted multiple times.  State officials reported Joe Biden won the 2020 election by only 12,670 votes.  If VoterGA's findings from Fulton County are correct, Biden's lead in Georgia would shrink to only a few thousands votes.  VoterGA's findings comes on the heals of another report from the Federalist, which alleges over 10,000 mail-ballots in Georgia were illegally cast.  Watch Garland Favorito from VoterGA explain the explosive findings from Fulton County:  [Video clip]

President Trump Reacts to 'Bombshell' Election Fraud Evidence Uncovered in Fulton County Audit.  President Trump has reacted to disturbing new evidence coming out of Fulton County, Georgia pointing to 2020 election malfeasance.  "The news coming out of Georgia is beyond incredible.  The hand recount in Fulton County was a total fraud!  They stuffed the ballot box — and got caught.  We will lose our Country if this is allowed to stand." "According to the just released report from Garland Favorito and the highly respected Voter GA, in Fulton County the hand recount was wrong by 60%; 100,000 tally sheets for ballots were missing; they duplicated thousands of extra votes for Joe Biden; and fabricated vote counts of 100-0 for Biden, many times!"

The Pot Is Boiling out of Control!  Before getting to that deluge of election-related reports, a few reminders are in order:
  •   The Democrats can't have it both ways, claiming that the election was the "most secure ever" while doing everything possible to preclude the verification of that simple claim through forensic audits.
  •   Audits aren't a "threat to democracy," as the Democrats and their media sycophants continually bleat.  In reality, standing in the way of audits undermines our constitutional Republic and the confidence that the American people have in our election processes, for without election integrity, anything is possible (including Democrat/Uniparty political hegemony ad infinitum against the will of the people).
  •   If we have learned anything in the Age of Trump, the opposite of what Democrats claim is almost certainly the truth.  The list is long of Democrat agitprop later proved to be false:  Trump-Russia collusion, Trump is a stooge of Putin, Steele dossier, Ukraine phone call quid pro quo, Charlottesville, Trump is a dictator, clearing Lafayette Square with tear gas, inciting insurrection, and all the rest.  Thus, their endlessly repeated claims that the 2020 election was the most secure in history with its corollary that any assertions of voter fraud are "baseless" are merely the next on the list of items that will be debunked — just as the mountain of evidence discovered and analyzed since Election Day is making obvious to all but the willfully blind.
  •   Finally, to claim that those advocating for forensic audits must be stopped "to prevent this concerted effort to undermine our election," as The Hologram read from his remarks prepared by his handler in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, is the opposite of the truth, as fraud vitiates everything, including a presidency.

Fulton County Update — New Evidence Reveals Significant Fraud, Even in the Audit, and Thousands of Double Counted Ballots.  Garland Favorito, representing VoterGA, held a press conference this morning to outline new evidence as a result of a review of Fulton County, Georgia, ballots and tabulation results.  One of the more distinct findings was the double scanning of ballots creating multiple votes in favor of Joe Biden from the same set of ballots.  The duplication of ballots creates the artificial impression of multiple votes from the same set of ballots.  Double counting ballots is transparent election fraud.

What Is to Be Done?  See the Adversary Clearly.  As I've written many times in these pages, we no longer have an Election Day, but rather a rolling plebiscite that includes not only bogus "absentee" ballots for those in the country but too lazy or too stupid to get to the polls on the day designated by the U.S. Code, but now also "curated" ballots for those too dumb to correctly mark their choices; "harvested" ballots, those delivered by activists purporting to be from lawful voters; "early" ballots, in other words, illegal ballots; and even "late" ballots, in other words, double-plus illegal ballots.  As a result, the 2020 election was the first in American history in which the vote on Election Day itself was secondary.  With the calm confidence of "a Christian holding four aces" — Mark Twain's famous phrase — the Democrats knew going into the count on the night of Nov. 4 that the game was already rigged, and that they had enough "votes" in the bank they could trot out at 4 a.m. that it didn't matter how far ahead Trump was as the polls closed.  This is a standard Democrat trick, having been tested successfully over the past few cycles in places like Washington state, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut, where boxes of ballots suddenly fall off trucks, get found in the trunks of cars, or otherwise materialize, even as Democrat judges abruptly but predictably decide to order the polls in certain friendly precincts to stay open a few hours after they were supposed to have closed, the better to overcome however large a lead the Republicans might have.

Texas Senate passes voting bill that caused Democrats to flee state.  The Texas state Senate approved a sweeping election reform bill Tuesday night, one day after dozens of House Democrats fled the state to prevent the chamber from taking up the legislation.  The state Senate approved the bill on an 18-4 party-line vote.  Nine Senate Democrats had joined 51 of their House colleagues in hightailing it to Washington, DC, though this was not enough to deny the upper chamber a quorum.  However, the legislation is now stalled due to the absence of a quorum in the House.  Republicans say the measures in the bill — which include ending drive-thru and 24-hour polling places, banning ballot drop boxes, and empowering partisan poll watchers — are designed to ensure the integrity of the vote by preventing voter fraud.  Democrats say they make it harder for poor people and minorities to cast ballots.

The Editor says...
Apparently the evil Republicans have also made it more difficult to complain about how hard it is to vote, because nobody has ever come forward to claim they were unable to vote because of the Voter ID laws.

Arizona Senate president says 2020 election audit's ballot count differs from Maricopa tally.  Ballots counted in the Arizona Senate's audit of the 2020 election differs from the tally by Maricopa County officials.  That's what Senate President Karen Fann said in an interview on Tuesday, in which she also noted the discrepancy prompted the state Legislature to acquire new machines — "not Dominion's, separate ones" — to recount the ballots.  A canvass report released by the county, which includes Phoenix, said 2,089,563 ballots were cast in November's election.  Fann said she did not know the size of the discrepancy.  "They haven't released a number yet," Fann told conservative radio host Mike Broomhead on KTAR.  "However, we do know that those numbers do not match with Maricopa County at this point."

Arizona Senate President Karen Fann Announces Ballot Count Discrepancy Between Forensic Audit and Maricopa County Records.  Arizona Senate President Karen Fann said Tuesday the number of 2020 general election ballots tallied during the ongoing audit she authorized doesn't match the total documented by Maricopa County, but the Republican didn't know how far off the counts were.  "They haven't released a number yet, if you will, however we do know that those numbers do not match with Maricopa County at this point," Fann told KTAR News[.]

Devastating Revelations in Georgia Are in Direct Conflict with Comments from Georgia Election Leaders Like Gabe Sterling.  After the results of the audit in Georgia were announced today people came out of the woodwork bringing up the former acts and comments from those who certified the 2020 results, including chunky Gabe Sterling.  The presser in Georgia by those auditing the results in Fulton County Georgia were released this morning and they showed a 60% error reporting rate.

Democrats to take on Supreme Court after justices uphold Arizona election laws.  When the Supreme Court concluded its most recent term by upholding two controversial Arizona voting laws, Democrats vowed to override the 6-3 decision that split the court's conservatives and liberals along ideological lines.  In the case, Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee, the court's conservatives ruled that the state's ballot harvesting ban, as well as its requirement that Election Day ballots be cast in a voter's home precinct, was not intended to be racially discriminatory.  The court's liberals disagreed sharply, claiming the laws had a disparate effect on minority communities and violated federal law.  The decision similarly polarized elected Democrats and Republicans.  For instance, Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich said he was pleased with the win because it set a precedent for ensuring election integrity in future disputes.

[Biden] Delivers Angry Speech in Philadelphia Demanding All Resources Must Activate to Defend His Legitimacy.  The speech Joe Biden delivered Tuesday [7/13/2021] in Philadelphia was not the rant of a righteous or confident man.  Instead the speech was a bitter, angry and divisive plea for help from those extreme leftists who supported his installation.  The need for control is a reaction to fear.  That fear was what Biden displayed above all other attributes.  A fear that more American people will begin to see the false construct of his installation.  A fear that those who perpetrated the fraud of his election will be exposed because the scale of their manipulation is far too great to continue hiding.  The fear that a small amount of actual investigation, with more audits looming, will reveal how a few key corrupt counties coordinated a massive election fraud. [...] The angry speech was full of projection, denial and extreme defensiveness.  Yup, the need for control is a reaction to fear, and it was very obvious Joe Biden feels the control is slipping away.

VoterGA Releases Explosive New Report:  Fulton County Georgia Recount Included 60% Error Reporting Rate.  On Monday night [7/12/2021] Garland Favorito, the founder of the election integrity group VoterGA, announced he will hold a press conference on Tuesday morning.  VoterGA will review highlights of its amended ballot inspection complaint and provide proof that election fraud occurred in the November 2020 election.

Greg Abbott Skewers the Lies of the Runaway Texas Dems and Decimates Joe Biden In the Process.  Texas Governor Greg Abbott has had enough of the runaway Texas Democrats throwing their little tantrum political stunt.  As we reported earlier, he said that he was going to make them do their job and have them arrested if they return to the state.  Abbott eviscerated the Democrats' false claims about the election security bill, saying that it isn't denying anyone the right to vote and, in fact, the bill provides for increased voting hours.  [Tweet]  Abbott also brought up another area of Democratic hypocrisy — the number of days of early voting.  Texas has 12, and guess what state has none?  Delaware, Joe Biden's home state.  Yet Biden's the one accusing Republicans of somehow being restrictive with bills like the one at issue in Texas when his state's voting isn't even as liberal.

Ignoring Georgia Illegal Voting Proves Democrats Don't Care About Election Integrity At All.  On Friday [7/9/2021], when The Federalist broke news that recently obtained evidence indicates more than 10,300 Georgia voters — a number that continues to grow — voted illegally in the 2020 general election, the corrupt press ignored the story.  Instead, corporate and government media focused that day on Democrats' calls to ditch the filibuster to push through H.R. 1, the so-called For the People Act, and the White House's announcement that "Biden would travel to Philadelphia on Tuesday to discuss 'actions to protect the sacred, constitutional right to vote.'"  In covering these stories, the press continues to parrot Democrats' spin that H.R. 1 is necessary to protect the right to vote which, the left claims, is under attack by GOP-controlled states "after Republicans seized on former President Donald Trump's false claim of massive voter fraud in the 2020 election as a pretext for passing new legislation curtailing ballot access."

Ballot Harvesting:  AP Doesn't Stand for the Associated Press.  When it comes to the topic of ballot harvesting, "AP" doesn't stand for The Associated Press; it stands for Agit-Prop. [...] The headline writer successfully did his job, as I was immediately triggered by the featured story from an AP hack entitled, "Court upholds voting limits," and subtitled, "Ruling another blow to Voting Rights Act."  The article of course was referring to the landmark US Supreme Court decision that upheld a new election integrity law in Arizona that eliminated counting ballots cast in the wrong precinct and also "forbids most people except for family members to collect and deliver ballots to the polls."  Nowhere in that article was any explanation given for the purpose of those laws, i.e., to improve integrity by precluding the submission of fraudulent ballots while placing the burden on individual voters to complete the privilege of voting, as opposed to allowing others to "do it for them" through ballot harvesting and other chicanery.  In short, the goal of that new law is to ensure that valid votes legally cast are not undermined through ballot fraud by votes cast illegally.

Trump Responds to Joe Biden's Panicked Flight to Pennsylvania In Fruitless Attempt to Stop Forensic Audit.  If they can's cheat — They can't win[.]  Last week Pennsylvania State Senator Doug Mastriano announced he was initiating a full forensic audit of the 2020 presidential election on several Pennsylvania counties.  This news obviously shocked the Democrat state leaders in Pennsylvania.  Late Friday the Pennsylvania Department of State issued a directive prohibiting county election boards from cooperating with the Senate's election audit.  And then Joe Biden announced he was flying into Philadelphia to push the Democrats' talking points on voting without confidence.

Windham election audit team submits report to New Hampshire officials.  A highly anticipated report about an audit of the 2020 election in Windham, New Hampshire, has been submitted to officials in the state.  One of the auditors, Harri Hursti, confirmed to the Washington Examiner on Monday [7/12/2021] that his team "submitted it yesterday," more than six weeks after the audit concluded.  The team's findings may become public as early as Tuesday.  The portion of the audit that included the handling of ballots concluded on May 27.  However, the audit team's work did not stop there.  "Now, we have captured the data," Hursti told observers at the time.  "Now, we have to go back to do the analysis, and there might be something in the data, which we now have, which we haven't yet understood."

President Biden's pathetic attempt to rig the rules.  Before 2020, drive-through voting was virtually non-existent in the U.S. But now that the state of Texas has banned the practice after it was used by some localities in the 2020 election, suddenly our democracy cannot survive without it.  "We're facing the most significant test of our democracy since the Civil War," President Biden said of Republican efforts to make voting laws in states they control.  "That's not hyperbole, since the Civil War."  If we are to take Biden seriously, if our nation really is facing its biggest threat since the Civil War, then why didn't Biden ask Senate Democrats to end the filibuster?  With the filibuster gone, Democrats could pass their "For the People Act," which would federalize U.S. elections and prevent states and localities from enacting common sense voting regulations like voter ID.  If the stakes are really so high, why not make this speech back in June, before the Senate voted to reject the Democrats' voting legislation?

Texas Now Investigating 386 More Cases of Voter Fraud, Attorney General Tells CPAC.  Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton told an audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on July 11 that his office is investigating nearly 400 more alleged cases of voter fraud and told audience members that concern about election fraud isn't overblown.  The 386 cases that are being investigated are in addition to more than 500 cases that his office has prosecuted, Paxton said, without elaborating on the details of some of the cases.  "Do not believe the narrative, because in Texas we are going to fight election fraud," Paxton said, noting that Republicans would have struggled during election day last year if his office hadn't stopped local election officials from breaking rules around balloting.  Referring to claims that voter fraud doesn't exist — made typically by Democrats — the Republican attorney general described it as a false narrative.

State Police Assisting in Hunt for Individuals Making 'False Claims' About 2020 Election.  Michigan residents who make what state officials say are false claims about the 2020 election could end up getting a visit from state troopers.  State Attorney General Dana Nessel and the Michigan State Police are going to investigate claims that some people making fraud allegations about the 2020 election are profiting from those allegations, Bridge Michigan reported Thursday [7/8/2021].  The Republican-led Senate Oversight Committee recently issued a report saying that it did not find systemic fraud in the November election.

Did Rep. Clyburn Just Admit Dems Can't Win the 2022 Election Without Rigging It?  Democrats are not giving up on the For the People Act, their currently-failing attempt to federalize elections, removing many safeguards states currently have.  House Majority Whip and Rep. Jim Clyburn is sounding the alarm for his party on that front, claiming that if the filibuster is not nuked, they will lose the House in 2022.  In the process of making his protestations, it sure seems like Clyburn admitted that his party can't win in 2022 without rigging the election.

Great Thread on How the Election Was Rigged, and How the Nation Was Stolen.  [Scroll down]  Not a single person has gone to jail.  Even Kevin Clinesmith, the fall guy — and no one believes he forged that document without orders from Comey or McCabe or Lisa Page — got community service, and what was, effectively, a one month suspension of his law license.  Not a single other person paid any price.  And we're supposed to keep believing in the government, huh?  We're supposed to keep enlisting in the military?  We're supposed to keep obeying the laws?  We're supposed to keep believing the FBI and law enforcement?  We're supposed to keep returning "guilty" verdicts at trial when the Ruling Class tells us to?  Why?  The Ruling Class ignores the laws.

Definite sign of panic:  Pennsylvania acting Secretary of State issues illegal orders to obstruct audit of 2020 election.  Yesterday [7/10/2021], I wrote that it looks like Pennsylvania Dems are panicking over the audit of the 2020 election announced by State Senator Doug Mastriano, chair of the state senate's Intergovernmental Operations Committee.  Two days after the announcement of the audit, President Biden suddenly was scheduled for a trip to the Keystone State "to deliver remarks on actions to protect the sacred constitutional right to vote."  Bringing the "The Big Guy" to pressure officials to obstruct access to the data which the state senate has an absolute right to examine.  But that was just half the story.  An unelected statewide official, the acting Secretary of State, acted quickly, even before Biden's trip was announced, to illegally obstruct the audit by commanding local officials to deny access to evidence.

Key Questions While We're Waiting for the Arizona Audit Report.  [Scroll down]  Then there are the very strange irregularities pointed out by Seth Keshel (former US Army captain, military intelligence, and a protégé of Gen Flynn).  He has been conducting demographic analyses of voter registration data in order to analyze voting patterns and the irregularities in many states (including Red ones). Here is an excerpt about Arizona from his Telegram account (@RealSKeshel):  ["]Remember:  Maricopa hasn't been blue since 1948 It was even red when Bob Dole lost Arizona in 1996, the first loss since 1948.  Trump won Maricopa in 2016 with fewer votes than Romney Trump decided to set a GOP record by gaining 248,000 additional votes from his 2016 total just so he could lose the county for the first time in 72 years Dems have never gained more than 116,000 new votes in Maricopa.  So it's totally natural of course, for Biden to come in 338,000 over Clinton to BARELY win the state.  Why?  He needed every one of those votes.  They appear to have known the score of where Trump would come in, which is why they awkwardly counted a few batches of votes per day until they ran out of them.["]  Keshel's irony in the last few sentences highlights a virtual impossibility:  there is no way that The Hologram — who was an absentee candidate, and who drew minuscule crowds when he did leave his basement to "campaign" — received 338,000 more votes than Hillary Clinton did!  No way, that is, without some serious monkey business behind the scenes on his behalf.  Where did those votes come from?

Michigan Attorney General is Now Using State Police to Go After Those Who Allege Election Fraud in 2020.  Michigan's Attorney General Dana Nessel is once again finding herself at the center of an abuse of power controversy.  Gretchen Whitmer's right-hand woman is deploying the Michigan State Police to assist with finding those who are asserting election fraud in the 2020 election.  "The Michigan Attorney General's office said Thursday it will investigate allegations that people are profiting off of false claims that the November 2020 presidential election was stolen," News Channel 3 reported.  The draconian persecution of political dissidents comes at the behest of the Republican majority state senate, according to the office's announcement.

Pennsylvania orders counties not to comply with GOP senator's request for 2020 election data.  The administration of Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf of Pennsylvania has ordered counties not to comply with a Republican state senator's request for voting data to be used in an audit of the 2020 election.  The Pennsylvania Department of State said in a two-page directive that the request by state Sen. Doug Mastriano of Franklin County, an ally of former President Donald Trump, "jeopardizes the security and integrity" of the counties' voting systems.  "Such access by third parties undermines chain of custody requirements and strict access limitations necessary to prevent both intentional and inadvertent tampering with electronic voting systems," the department said.

The Editor says...
Apparently "'the security and integrity' of the counties' voting systems" has already been compromised, hence the investigation.

Arizona Senate Has Decided to Count All Ballots Audited in Maricopa County for a Third Time.  The Arizona Senate has decided to [count] the audited ballots in Maricopa County a third time. [...] Based on this we are sure of the following:
  [#1]   There are a number of errors.
  [#2]   This error must be between the numbers reported on the 2020 Election and the number of ballots counted during the audit.
  [#3]   It would not be necessary to recount the number of ballots if the numbers reported agreed with the numbers audited.
This is good news for those who believe the election in Arizona was stolen.

Georgia SOS Raffensperger Investigating All Key 2020 Election Whistle Blowers.  For the past several months the office of Georgia Secretary of State (SOS) Brad Raffensperger has been quietly investigating whistle blowers who believe they detected potential fraud in the November 2020 election.  That's right.  The Raffensperger's Inspector General office has an active investigation into the key witnesses who testified before the Georgia General Assembly and signed affidavits for the exhibits of the Fulton County ballot inspection lawsuit!  These witnesses swore they detected potentially counterfeit ballots in the Fulton County hand count audit that occurred on November 14th and 15th.  They also observed a variety of other anomalies.  The November 2020 election was certified by December 11th and Raffensperger told the Wall Street Journal on December 12th, 2020 that:  "November's election was the most secure in history.  In Georgia, there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud and no significant issues with absentee ballots."  Of course, none of that is true.  Reports of many counterfeit mail-in ballots, thousands of missing test ballots, several Dominion voting system malfunctions, numerous missing chain of custody forms, major hand count audit errors and even foreign interference into Georgia county election servers have dominated the news.

White House Announces Joe Biden Trip to Philadelphia to Fight Pennsylvania Senate Audit of Election Result, The Election Corruption Must Be Maintained At All Costs.  The stakes are just too high to allow the Senate in Pennsylvania to conduct a 2020 election audit; and all prior corrupt activity must be protected and maintained.  As a direct result the White House is announcing the people behind Joe Biden are immediately dispatching all federal resources to Philadelphia to begin the war against Pennsylvania voters. [...] The Obama regime officials cannot permit the State of Pennsylvania to challenge or expose the scale of election fraud executed in Philadelphia county.  They will manipulate every narrative needed, instruct every corporate media ally, call out every labor union and community activist group, pre-position Antifa, trigger every BIG Tech mechanism, activate the DOJ, FBI, Department of Homeland Security and even the U.S. military if that is needed to quell any rebellion.

Houston Man Praised by Fake News Media for Waiting Hours To Vote In Dem Primary — Is Arrested for Illegal Voting.  More evidence of voter fraud.  Back on March 4th, 2020 the media praised 62-year-old Hervis Rogers who waited in line for 6 hours to vote.  The media tried to use the story to smear Republicans. [...] Now, we have this.  Authorities are saying Hervis Rogers was not eligible to vote due to the fact he was on parole.  Back in 1995, Rogers was arrested and sentenced to 25 years in prison for burglary and intent to commit theft.

Looks like Dems are panicking over the planned forensic audit of the Pennsylvania 2020 presidential election.  This is quite a coincidence:  Two days after Pennsylvania state senator Doug Mastriano announced that the committee he heads was preparing a forensic audit of the 2020 presidential election, the White House announced a trip to Pennsylvania by President Biden "to deliver remarks on actions to protect the sacred constitutional right to vote."  Senator Mastriano's committee, the Intergovernmental Operations Committee of the Pennsylvania state Senate, will predictably have trouble getting the information it is requesting (and has the right to demand) from the local authorities, especially after a visiting president meets with them or their significant influencers and lobbies them to resist and delay.

Pennsylvania orders counties not to comply with GOP senator's request for 2020 election data.  The administration of Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf of Pennsylvania has ordered counties not to comply with a Republican state senator's request for voting data to be used in an audit of the 2020 election.  The Pennsylvania Department of State said in a two-page directive that the request by state Sen. Doug Mastriano of Franklin County, an ally of former President Donald Trump, "jeopardizes the security and integrity" of the counties' voting systems.  "Such access by third parties undermines chain of custody requirements and strict access limitations necessary to prevent both intentional and inadvertent tampering with electronic voting systems," the department said.

James Clyburn Instructs Joe Biden to Pressure Joe Manchin, Eliminate Senate Filibuster and Get Federal Control of Elections Done Quickly Before Voters Can Kick Them Out.  There is a confluence of events that need to be taken in their totality in order to contextualize the mounting desperation amid Democrats.
  •   (1) Democrats lost district seats in the 2020 U.S. census.  Redistricting is going to hurt them in 2022.
  •   (2) Democrats massively exploited and cheated using mail-in ballots in the 2020 election, and they still lost House seats because the scale of MAGA turnout was overwhelming.  This reality is a very visible dark cloud heading their way.  They know it.
  •   (3) Ongoing or initiated forensic ballot audits in any of the key "ballot mule" regions will expose their 2020 corruption [Maricopa County (AZ), Fulton County (GA), Wayne County (MI), Philadelphia County (PA), Clark County (NV), Milwaukee (WI)] and the Democrats know it.
  •   (4) Election reform legislation is taking place in multiple states in response to the Democrat activists manipulating the mail-in ballot system.
  •   (5) The U.S. Supreme Court recently ruled that states have the valid and constitutional right to control their elections, and implement stringent election laws, specifically intended to stop election fraud.  Democrats know it will be more difficult to cheat in many states.  This is a major problem. As a consequence of these events, the federal takeover of elections is critical to their ability to remain in power on both a state and federal level.

Arizona summary
Arizona: Proof of Systemic Errors in Vote Count.  There was not a single write-in vote among the nearly 3 million absentee votes cast in the Arizona 2020 election.  That anomaly alone is proof of a systemic error in the voting system.  In addition, inconsistent reporting categories of votes between the state and counties, anomalous vote totals for Minor Party candidates, and other anomalies in mail-in voting provide compelling evidence that Arizona's 2016 and 2020 certified election results were based on incomplete, erroneous, and very likely manipulated data.  Specifically:
  •   The certified vote total and the county totals do not reconcile by 9,999 votes;
  •   The 2020 write-in total of 2,023 votes was based only on in-person votes;
  •   here are 106,110 fewer votes in the 2020 certified results for Minor Party candidates than there were in 2016; and;
  •   There are 628,034 more absentee/early votes counted than reportedly received.


New Evidence Indicates Enough Illegal Votes In Georgia To Tip 2020 Results.  New evidence indicates that more than 10,300 illegal votes were cast in Georgia in the November 2020 general election — a number that will continue to rise over the next several months, potentially exceeding the 12,670 votes that separated Joe Biden and Donald Trump.  While this evidence does not change the fact that Joe Biden is our president, all Americans who genuinely care about free and fair elections and the disenfranchisement of voters should demand both transparency and solutions to prevent a repeat in future elections.  This evidence also vindicates former President Trump and his legal team for the related public (and private) comments and legal arguments made in challenging the Georgia election results.  Under the cover of COVID-19, Georgia, like many other states, flooded residents with absentee ballot applications.  Also like sister states, Georgia ignored various legislative mandates designed to prevent fraud and to ensure the integrity of the vote.  These facts, coupled with the closeness of the presidential contest in Georgia and other states, led to a flurry of accusations and litigation charging vote fraud, illegal voting, and violations of the Elector's Clause of the constitution.

The Best Explanation for Why So Many Trump Supporters Believe the 2020 Election Was 'Stolen'.  The 2020 presidential election is proving to be one of the most divisive and controversial in American history.  But it wasn't just the widespread anomalies and improbable record-setting numbers that have driven many Trump supporters to believe the election was "stolen."  It was the media that did this.  The years-long Russia hoax with the complicity of nearly the entire U.S. corporate media primed Trump supporters to expect shenanigans.  When the suspect reports came piling in, many leapt to the conclusion it was all rigged.  The best explanation for why more than half of Republicans believe the election was "stolen," that audits can change the results even now, and even the minority who think Trump can be "reinstated" comes via a fascinating thread on Twitter.

Former Dem Rep Accidentally Tells the Truth:  Election Integrity "Could Really Cost Democrats Seats".  All Democrats know — If they can't cheat, they can't win.  Former Democrat Representative Donna Edwards from Maryland joined an MSNBC panel on Thursday to discuss voter integrity legislation.  Donna accidentally let the cat out of the bag.  If election integrity legislation is passed in the states, if Voter ID is implemented, if illegal ballot harvesting is banned, then Democrats cannot win.  It's that simple.

Michigan attorney general to investigate 2020 election fraud profiteers.  Michigan Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel agreed to open a criminal investigation into individuals who may have personally profited off election fraud claims that a Republican-led state Senate committee determined to be false.  The state Senate Oversight Committee recommended an investigation as part of its recent 55-page report examining and refuting allegations of widespread voter fraud in Michigan during the 2020 election.  "After reviewing the report in full, the department has accepted Sen. [Ed] McBroom and the committee's request to investigate," Lynsey Mukomel, Nessel's press secretary, told the Washington Examiner in a statement on Thursday [7/8/2021].  Michigan State Police will assist in the investigation, Mukomel added.

Voter reform is winning.  The Supreme Court sent a strong message in striking down the Democrat Party's attempt to override Arizona's voting laws, which the state updated in 2016.  Justice Alito wrecked the argument that the law harms minorities.  He wrote, "A policy that appears to work for 98% or more of voters to whom it applies — minority and non-minority alike — is unlikely to render a system unequally open.  The Court of Appeals attempted to paint a different picture, but its use of statistics was highly misleading for reasons that were well explained by Judge Easterbrook in a case involving voter IDs.  As he put it, a distorted picture can be created by dividing one percentage by another.  He gave this example: 'If 99.9% of whites had photo IDs, and 99.7% of blacks did, it could be said that blacks are three times as likely as whites to lack qualifying ID (0.3 ÷ 0.1 = 3), but such a statement would mask the fact that the populations were effectively identical."  "That is exactly what the en banc Ninth Circuit did here.  The District Court found that among the counties that reported out-of-precinct ballots in the 2016 general election, roughly 99% of Hispanic voters, 99% of African-American voters, and 99% of Native American voters who voted on Election Day cast their ballots in the right precinct, while roughly 99.5% of non-minority voters did so.

Democrats Can't Stem the Flow of Revelations No Matter How Hard They Try.  Virtually every legacy media story about the 2020 election includes the phrase "baseless claims of voter fraud" in disparaging President Trump and anyone else who dares to point out the need for full forensic audits to sort out the mountain of election irregularities that continue to be uncovered.  It reminds me of the endless repetition of the word "gravitas" during the 2000 presidential campaign, as the Democrat-media agitprop worked overtime to disparage George W. Bush.  Check out the DuckDuckGo search results for "baseless claims of voter fraud" below.  The leftwing and legacy media are good at repeating Democrat narratives; after all, most of them are Democrats (or at least vote Democrat).

Forensic Investigation of 2020 General Election & 2021 Primary is Announced in Pennsylvania.  Pennsylvania State Senator Doug Mastriano has just announced a "forensic investigation of the 2020 General Election and 2021 Primary" in the Keystone State. [...] ["]A forensic investigation of our election results and processes for the 2020 General Election and the 2021 Primary will go a long way to restore trust in our system.  Voting is the fundamental right of all citizens.  We should continually look for ways to improve the voting process to ensure every voice is heard.  Today, as Chair of the Intergovernmental Operations Committee, I issued letters to several counties requesting information and materials needed to conduct a forensic investigation of the 2020 General Election and the 2021 Primary.["]

Federal Judge Rejects Challenge to Georgia Voting Law.  A federal judge in Georgia declined to block portions of the recently passed Georgia election law after an organization filed a legal challenge that sought to invalidate parts of the mandate.  The Coalition for Good Governance, a left-leaning group that describes itself as an election security group, opposed the Election Integrity Act of 2021's provision that voters request absentee ballots at least 11 days ahead of Election Day.  The suit also asked the court to intervene to rescind restrictions on election observers.  But U.S. District Judge J.P. Boulee, in ruling against the petition, said he wouldn't "change the law in the ninth inning" in reference to ongoing runoff elections for seats in the Georgia state House.

Judge rules in favor of new Georgia voting law.  A federal judge on Wednesday [7/7/2021] ruled against an organization challenging parts of Georgia's new voting law, citing ongoing runoff races in the state legislature.  U.S. District Judge J.P. Boulee of the Northern District of Georgia said he wasn't willing to block parts of the law in the middle of state House runoff elections, which are scheduled to take place next week.

PA State Senator Doug Mastriano Initiates Full Forensic Audit — Says He Has the Votes on Committee for Subpoenas to Audit Several Pennsylvania Counties.  Pennsylvania State Senator Doug Mastriano says he has a majority on his committee who will vote to issue subpoenas to audit elections in Philadelphia, and two other counties.  The audit will be similar to the Maricopa County forensic audit.  Other Pennsylvania counties could also be audited.  Senator Doug Mastriano released a statement on Wednesday morning.  The Pennsylvania State Senator announced he is initiating a forensic investigation of the 2020 General election and 2021 primary.

Michigan Attorney Matt DePerno Discusses Similarities of Remote User Access Log-in in Arizona, Georgia and Michigan Election Systems.  Attorney Matt DePerno appears with Steve Bannon to discuss some similarities between Arizona, Georgia and Michigan electronic election systems.  One of the things DePerno points to is "remote access log-in's", administrator level access with elevated privileges in the election management system.  The second point DePerno highlights is something previously covered; however, DePerno appears not to know.  Maricopa County and the Secretary of State in Arizona have known about a November 3rd intrusion, a "security breach", into the voter registration servers in Maricopa county.  DePerno calls this a breaking story unknown to the public and hidden by state officials.  [Video clip]

Why The Biden Administration's Lawsuit Against Georgia's Voting Rules Is Garbage.  "The Department of Justice is going to lose," Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger told me during a Friday interview, referring to the Voting Rights Act lawsuit the Biden administration filed against Georgia a little more than a week ago.  Georgia has been vindicated by the Supreme Court, Raffensperger added, stressing in last week's interview that the high court's decision in Brnovich v.  DNC rendered the DOJ's claims frivolous.  A thorough analysis of the Supreme Court's decision in Brnovich confirms Raffensperger's assessment.  In that case, the court held that Arizona's in-precinct voting requirement and ban on ballot harvesting did not violate Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which prohibits any "standard, practice, or procedure" that "results in a denial or abridgment of the right of any citizen of the United States to vote on account of race or color."

Attorney: AZ Sec. of State Katie Hobbs and Maricopa County Election Officials Have Known Since Nov. 3 That Election Servers Were Breached.  Constitutional attorney Matt DePerno claimed on Monday [7/5/2021] that Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, and Maricopa County election officials have known since November 3 that there was a security breach into the county's servers, and hid that information from the public.  DePerno, who filed an election lawsuit last November in Michigan on behalf of an Antrim County resident, broke the news on Steve Bannon's War Room podcast Monday morning.  "Maricopa County and the Secretary of State of Arizona have known for quite some time — since November 3 — that there was a security breach of the voter registration servers and they have hid this from the American public," he said.  "We know this because, we know voters in Arizona actually received some notification individually that some of their data had been breached, but they've hidden it from the rest of us." [...] DePerno also told Bannon that his team has discovered that in at least three battleground states, certain anonymous individuals were allowed to access the election database and potentially change the results of the election.

Former Justice Department Lawyer Testifies to Voting Section's History of Abusing Its Authority.  For anyone who thinks that passing HR 4, the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, is a good idea, watching the startling testimony of a veteran Justice Department lawyer should make one quickly realize what a bad — and dangerous — idea it really is. [...] HR 4 would bring back and vastly expand the preclearance (preapproval) process of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. [...] Section 5 was only meant to be a temporary provision addressing some egregious practices that were happening in certain states in 1965.  Fortunately, the type of systematic, widespread voting discrimination that was occurring then is long gone, and Section 5 was no longer necessary.  The court held that Congress could not rely on decades-old data to justify such a substantial intrusion into each state's ability to pass and implement its own voting rules and procedures.  But HR 4 would bring preclearance back with a vengeance.

Democrats seem to presume that if a city is hopelessly messed up, only a black mayor can fix it.
Eric Adams Wins Democratic Primary in New York City's Mayoral Race:  AP.  Eric Adams was pronounced the winner of New York City's Democratic mayoral primary on Tuesday after preliminary final numbers showed the centrist won 50.5 percent of the vote.  The Associated Press called the race for Adams after the results showed he narrowly defeated former sanitation commissioner Kathryn Garcia by 8,426 votes.  Garcia received 49.5 percent after eight rounds of voting.

Eric Adams declared winner of problem-plagued Democratic primary in NYC mayoral race.  Eric Adams was declared the winner of the chaotic Democratic primary in the New York City mayoral race on Tuesday [7/6/2021].  The final round of results for the June 22 contest, which counted absentee ballots, showed Adams with 50.5% support and his next-closed rival in the ranked-choice election, Kathryn Garcia, with 49.5% support.  "While there are still some very small amounts of votes to be counted, the results are clear: an historic, diverse, five-borough coalition led by working-class New Yorkers has led us to victory in the Democratic primary for Mayor of New York City," Adams said in a statement after the Associated Press made the call.

What if the 2020 Election Audits Show Trump Really Won?  We just don't know.  We just don't know what comes next.  It is all a calculated guess.  The US Constitution is silent. [...] This we do know...
  •   With a strict constructionist view of the wording in the Constitution, the words are not there to "road map" how to fix possible presidential election fraud.
  •   The Constitution mentions nothing about the Electoral College re-convening.  Historically, the Electoral College has never re-convened for a second time for a presidential certification. [...]
  •   We do know that of the 4 key contested battleground "purple states" that were crucial, all had election irregularities election day, election night, and the following election morning.
  •   Arizona may be on the verge of flipping its result, and Georgia looks probable to follow.  And Pennsylvania and then Wisconsin might be next.  In terms of Electoral College votes, that would be all that is needed to satisfy the constitutional 270 votes required.

President Trump Releases a Statement Warning Against Democrats' Attorneys Stealing the Election.  The Democrats are not about the truth, the country, or the people in the country.  The party of slavery is about power and always has been.  Their attorney Marc Elias has spent his last few years working to insert illegal drop boxes in elections across the country so they could just stuff them with made-up fraudulent ballots and steal elections.  Now they work to justify their fraudulent actions.

Shocking video from Maricopa County audit status and the DoJ.  The video below is of a shocking interview with Liz Harris on the Stew Peters show.  Ms. Harris is a volunteer for the Maricopa County audit.  First of all, she couldn't say much because of the non-disclosure agreement but, based on the audit, she believes the election was fraudulent and all the things you've heard will be confirmed.  Liz Harris revealed details about the Arizona audit.  Then she shocked Peters when she said that those canvassing neighborhoods may actually be targeted by the DOJ, and arrested for 'voter intimidation,' despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of voters thank the volunteers for their efforts.  In addition to the DOJ, an unknown entity is paying for misleading ads attempting to taint the image of those looking for election integrity.  [Video clip]

Three Democrat NYC Mayoral Candidates File Election Lawsuits.  Democrat mayoral candidates Maya Wiley, Eric Adams and Kathryn Garcia have all filed lawsuits regarding the June 22 primary election and are seeking to review the city's first-ever ranked vote tallies.  "This is a wide-open race and, as is standard procedure, my campaign filed a petition to preserve the right to challenge the results should we believe it is necessary," Wiley said in a statement to The Associated Press Friday.  Wiley filed her suit in a Brooklyn state court Thursday, following Adams and Garcia, who filed their respective suits Wednesday.

SCOTUS Defends Election Integrity, Dems Panic.  On Thursday [7/1/2021], the Supreme Court upheld two longstanding provisions of Arizona election law, provoking widespread trepidation among the Democrats.  In a 6-3 ruling authored by Justice Samuel Alito, the Court held that it was permissible for the state to limit ballot harvesting and out-of-precinct voting.  Such limitations are commonplace throughout the country, but the Democratic National Committee (DNC) took Arizona to court arguing that these two violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA).  The DNC lost but appealed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled against Arizona.  SCOTUS overturned that ruling and the panicked Democrats inevitably denounced the Supreme Court's decision as a brazen assault on democracy.

Joe Biden, Merrick Garland set themselves up for disaster in Georgia voting rights case.  With its decision Thursday in the voting rights case of Brnovich v.  Democratic National Committee, the court closed its term with a decision that will resonate not just legally but politically for years to come.  The 6-3 decision upheld Arizona's new voting rules in Arizona over claims of racial discrimination.  While the court said it would be imprudent to create a sweeping rule for all future such cases, it was equally imprudent for the Biden administration to ignore the forthcoming decision in filing a new challenge to Georgia's new voting rights.  The lawsuit against Georgia's new voting rules was clearly timed to beat the court to the punch, but Brnovich delivers a haymaker for those seeking to block such state laws.  Indeed, the decision magnifies the concern that the Georgia challenge is more of a political than a legal statement from the Biden administration.

Biden bellyaches about Arizona voting case despite not having opposed the result.  [Scroll down]  Strictly speaking, there is no inconsistency between the DOJ's agreement that the Arizona provisions are lawful and Biden's disappointment with the Court's decision.  The majority opinion didn't just uphold Arizona law, it also discussed the circumstances under which Section 2 challenges to "time, place, manner" restrictions on voting will be upheld.  Clearly, Team Biden is not on board with that discussion.  But Biden didn't just express disappointment with the majority's reasoning.  He agreed with Justice Kagan's complaint in dissent that the Court's decision upheld "a significant race-based disparity in voting opportunities."

A.U.D.I.T. of Elections:  Democrats Getting Concerned.  This article is the seventh in a series that has summarized election irregularities uncovered, independent analyses performed, affidavits filed, video interviews given, sworn testimonies made, and commentary from election experts provided across the US. [...] How do we know that they know what they did?  Because not a single prominent Democrat has agreed to — or called for — a full forensic audit to validate their 2020 election integrity/security narrative.  Why not simply agree to a complete audit and prove once and for all that the 2020 election was "the most secure ever"? In fact, they are using every political and legal maneuver possible to thwart the completion of audits in any state.  What are they hiding?  And while Hillary Clinton has endlessly brayed her "Big Lie" during various interviews over the last four years that the 2016 election was "stolen" from her, neither she nor any Democrat demanded audits.  That's a major red flag, too!  Another red flag is the chaos in the Democrat primary for New York City mayor this week in which 135,000 "test ballots" were counted.

Did Biden Really Win California?  The November 3, 2020, Presidential election data from California sets off alarm bells.  Election data generated by the natural voting process will closely match Benford's Law predictions.  (Benford's Law, or the rule of leading digits, is used as an indicator of fraud in numerical data.)  Of course, there can be exceptions, but Benford's Law points to areas to investigate.

Report: Over 168,000 Ballots Missing Chain of Custody in Cobb County, GA.  Dr. Kandiss Taylor released a report yesterday identifying over 168,000 ballots in Cobb County, Georgia, missing required chain of custody documentation.  We've been reporting for months on the hundreds of thousands of ballots missing chain of custody documentation in Georgia. [...] However, a new report out of Cobb County finds that the Elections Director had data drives with election data taken to a separate location, and printed tabulation tapes from a different machine.  This reportedly violated the standard procedure and chain of custody.  In a press release from Dr. Kandiss Taylor yesterday, Taylor, a candidate for governor, claims that there is sufficient evidence of process violations and malfeasance that would be adequate to place in doubt the results of the presidential election.

Justice Alito devastates Dems' arguments in AZ voting rights case Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee.  On July 1, the Supreme Court of the United States, in a 6 [to] 3 decision, ruled that Arizona did not violate Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act when it required in-person voting to take place in the precinct to which the voter is assigned, and limited collection of early-voting ballots to the U.S. Postal Service, election officials, or family member, household members or caregivers.  In overturning a Ninth Circuit en banc decision rejecting Arizona's voting requirements, Justice Sam Alito, for — let it be said — the six justices appointed by Republican presidents, recognized the legitimate interests of a State in preventing fraud, and intimidation or pressure on voters.  Justice Alito noted that fraud does not have to be shown before a State can act to take legitimate measures to prevent fraud.  He also indicated that "disparate impact" must be shown to be significant before overturning a State's voting laws.

Supreme Court delivers major blow to Dems' campaign against state election laws.  On the last day before its summer recess, the Supreme Court upheld two Arizona voting provisions that Democrats and civil rights groups challenged as disproportionately burdening minority voters.  The vote was 6-3, with only the three hardcore liberals dissenting.  Justice Alito wrote the opinion.  That's always a great sign.  Amy Howe at Scotusblog observes that the decision "will make it more difficult to contest election regulations under the Voting Rights Act."  That's probably an understatement.  The motion to dismiss Kristen Clarke's suit challenging Georgia's election law will all but write itself now.  The majority opinion found that the "core" of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, under which the challenge to the Arizona law was made, is the "requirement that voting be 'equally open."

SCOTUS decision on Arizona voter rules could mean trouble for DOJ suit against Georgia.  A Supreme Court ruling upholding Arizona voting restrictions could spell trouble for a legal challenge by U.S Attorney General Merrick Garland to a new Georgia election integrity law.  The court ruled Thursday [7/1/2021] in a 6-3 vote that a set of Arizona voting rules do not violate federal law.  Breaking along conservative-liberal ideological lines, the court found that the state's voting policies were not enacted with a racially discriminatory purpose that would have violated the 1965 Voting Rights Act.  Garland announced announced last week that the Department of Justice will sue Georgia over its new voting law, S.B. 202, claiming the measure's voter ID rules violate Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which prevents states from denying or interfering with the rights of Americans to vote on account of their race.  Thursday's SCOTUS decision in the Arizona case is a signal that the high court may not buy Garland's arguments.

New York's Mayoral Primary Vote Count Voided After 135,000 Ballot Discrepancy.  The New York City Board of Elections said on June 29 that 135,000 test ballots were accidentally included in a preliminary tally of votes cast in the city's mayoral primary election, leading to the count being voided and drawing the ire of candidates.  New York's first attempt at ranked-choice voting (RCV) descended into confusion after the elections board abruptly removed updated vote totals from its website hours after posting them, citing a "discrepancy" in the numbers.  "We are aware there is a discrepancy in the unofficial RCV round by round elimination report," the board said in a statement, noting that it was working with technical staff to identify the discrepancy and asking "candidates to have patience."

New York City Mayoral Race Becomes a Hot Mess of Electronic Errors, Wrong Votes, Tabulation Mistakes and Uncertain Results.  Wait, it's impossible for election results to be electronically manipulated yet the New York city board of elections is now saying the entire mayoral race was messed up because electronic tabulation errors and test ballots and stuff.  The same officials who denounce any questions about voting outcomes in the 2020 presidential race are now saying the tabulation of the 2021 Mayoral race was wrong.  The Democrat New York City Mayor even calls for a full and immediate recanvassing today, while the Democrat DOJ says recanvassing the vote in Arizona is akin to voter intimidation.

Supreme Court strikes down California donor disclosure requirement.  The Supreme Court on Thursday [7/1/2021] invalidated a requirement by the state of California that charities fundraising in the state must disclose the identities of their most generous donors.  The high court ruled 6-3 along ideological lines in favor of a pair of nonprofits that challenged the state's policy.  The Supreme Court found the measure, which requires charities that fundraise in the state to turn over information about their top contributors, is unconstitutional.  "We are left to conclude that the attorney general's disclosure requirement imposes a widespread burden on donors' associational rights.  And this burden cannot be justified on the ground that the regime is narrowly tailored to investigating charitable wrongdoing, or that the state's interest in administrative convenience is sufficiently important," Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in an opinion, joined in full by Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett.

Supreme Court upholds Arizona restrictions in major voting rights, racial discrimination case.  A divided US Supreme Court on Thursday [7/1/2021] upheld two Republican-backed Arizona voting restrictions, rejecting claims that they discriminate against minority voters and imposing new limits on the landmark Voting Rights Act.  The 6-to-3 decision, breaking along ideological lines, overturned a lower court ruling to uphold Arizona's policy of invalidating ballots cast in the wrong precinct and a law criminalizing the collection of mail ballots by third-party community groups or campaigns.

Democrats fume over 'dark day in Supreme Court history': Biden flays 'deeply disappointing' ruling upholding Arizona's new voting rules.  President Biden called on Congress to restore fundamental voting rights as he expressed his disappointment that the U.S. Supreme Court had upheld Republican-backed rules in Arizona, rejecting claims that they discriminate against racial minorities.  The 6-3 ruling, with the court's conservative justices in the majority, endorsed regulations designed to restrict so-called ballot harvesting and preventing voters from casting ballots outside their home precinct.  It comes as a raft of Republican states looks to tighten voting rules amid President Donald Trump's claims that fraud cost him the 2020 election.

Supreme Court Upholds Arizona Voting Rules in Heated Voting Rights Decision.  In its first statement about voting rights since 2013, the Supreme Court on Thursday [7/1/2021] upheld a pair of Arizona voting regulations and gave a boost to Republican lawmakers enacting new election rules following the 2020 election.  The two rules at issue disqualify votes cast at the wrong precinct and limit third-party ballot collection, which critics call "ballot harvesting."  The real flash point in Thursday's case is the framework judges should use to identify voting procedures that violate Section Two of the Voting Rights Act, the focal point of election litigation.  Justice Samuel Alito delivered the opinion for a six justice majority over the dissent of Justice Elena Kagan for the liberal trio.  The decision announced limits on the reach of the Voting Rights Act.

Arizona Ballot-Harvesting Ban Is Legal, Supreme Court Rules in High-Stakes Electoral Integrity Case.  Arizona's ban on ballot-harvesting and out-of-precinct voting does not violate the federal Voting Rights Act, the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in a closely watched case with implications for future elections.  In an exclusive interview with The Epoch Times, Mark Brnovich, the attorney general of Arizona who argued the case, said the court "recognized when it comes to time, place and manner, the states have a lot of authority."  "We as public servants have no more sacred duty than protecting the people's right to vote, but we have to maintain confidence in the integrity of the results," the Republican officeholder said.

Chaos is winning the New York City mayoral primary.  The race for New York City mayor was always going to be a [fiasco], at the least on the Democrat side.  Given the new ranked-choice voting system and pre-existing problems with vote counting, the Democrats weren't expected to declare a winner until weeks after the voting.  Things took a turn for the worse yesterday [6/29/2021] when the Board of Elections released updated results showing that what was a substantial lead for Eric Adams had almost disappeared due to ranked-choice adjustments, but then withdrew these results stating that they were due to a counting error.  Nothing enhances confidence in government like an admission that it can't count.  We still don't know whether Adams won the race.  A new update shows that his lead has narrowed considerably, though not by as much as initially reported.  However, we now know that Maya Wiley didn't win.  Wiley is a radical leftist.  She served as counsel to Mayor de Blasio and was favored by the Ocasio-Cortez wing of the party.  Defunding the police was part of her platform.

135,000 'test' ballots mistakenly added:  How NYC's election board got the results so wrong.  New York City's Board of Election is facing widespread criticism after it mistakenly included some 135,000 "test" ballots in partial results released Tuesday in its tightly-contested mayoral election.  The three-way contest — between Brooklyn borough President Eric Adams; Maya Wiley, former counsel to Mayor Bill de Blasio; and Kathryn Garcia, former Department of Sanitation head — has been upended with a murky picture of who is ahead after the election board's botched release and scores of mail-in votes remain to be counted.  Ranked choice voting is being used for the first time in citywide primaries this year, and the Board of Elections has said full results are not expected until later in July.

Why would 135,000 ballots be necessary to test the system?  Couldn't that be done with 10 or 15 ballots?

Pennsylvania Gov. Vetoes GOP-Backed Election Integrity Bill.  Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf vetoed a Republican-backed election overhaul bill that would expand voter identification requirements, move up the voter registration deadline, limit the use of drop-boxes, and allow county officials to conduct early pre-canvassing for mail-in ballots, among other measures.  In explaining why he vetoed the bill, the Democrat governor wrote that he "made it clear I wouldn't sign a bill that creates barriers to voting," adding "that's exactly what this bill does by:  Limiting mail ballots, Capping early voting, Cutting voter registration time."  On Wednesday [6/30/2021], Wolf also used his line-item veto authority to remove a budget legislation proposal that would earmark millions of dollars to create an election-auditing agency.

MI Rep Daire Rendon (R): "I am in receipt of evidence reflecting systemic election fraud in MI that occurred in the November 2020 election".  Unlike most of her fellow Republican and Democrat lawmakers in the Michigan legislature, Rendon has chosen not to cherry-pick evidence of voter fraud in Michigan but instead, to look at all of the evidence presented to the lawmakers in an objective and open-minded manner.  Rendon also refuses to ignore the will of Michigan citizens she represents, who are calling for a full and conclusive investigation into the November 2020 election.  Yesterday [6/28/2021], in a phone conversation, Rep. Rendon told 100 Percent Fed Up that she's very disappointed in the MI Senate Oversight Committee's report on the November 2020 election in Michigan.

Wisconsin Supreme Court Rejects Lawsuit to Ban Absentee Ballot Drop Boxes.  The Wisconsin Supreme Court recently rejected a lawsuit that sought to ban the state's usage of absentee ballot drop-boxes, although another legal challenge on their use is still being considered in a lower court.  Conservative businessman and GOP donor Jere Fabick in March petitioned (pdf) the state Supreme Court in March to consider a ban of the drop-boxes, arguing that they violate state election laws.  He also sought to ban election officials from filling in missing addresses of witnesses on ballot envelopes, and his suit attempted to limit who can return absentee ballots to election clerks.  In a 4-3 ruling on June 25, the court threw out the case but noted that the lawsuit raised important questions.  The majority claimed that arguments contained within the lawsuit were not "clearly presented."

The DOJ's Lame Lawsuit Against Georgia's New Voting Law Is DOA.  We can thank our lucky stars that Attorney General Merrick Garland never made it to the Supreme Court.  His recent lawsuit against Georgia's new voting law shows that he has neither the intellect nor the backbone to serve on the nation's highest court.  Unfortunately, as Joe Biden's "toady" at the Department of Justice, he may do real damage to our systems of justice as a partisan activist.

NYC mayoral candidate Eric Adams sues over botched election count.  A genuine nightmare is brewing for Democrats, as the laughably incompetent administration of last week's primary election for mayor of New York City proves the need for election integrity measures being demanded by Republicans.  Yesterday, the frontrunner for the Dems' nomination sued, and invited the other candidates to join him as litigants. [...] Republicans have been called treasonous for questioning the ballot counting in swing states in the 2020 election.  Now, the front-runner, possibly to be joined by the rest of the Democrat field in the NYC mayor's race, is so mistrustful that they want a judge looking over the shoulders of the ballot counters.  The agitprop Democrat media functionaries are revealing their panic by barely noticing this huge blowup in the media capital of the nation, where local news usually is seen as national in interest.

Eric Adams sues to ensure a 'fair election process' after BOE botches vote count.  Mayoral candidate and Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams filed a preemptive lawsuit Wednesday [6/30/2021] to "ensure a fair and transparent election process" after the Board of Elections botched the June 22 primary outcome by accidentally including test results in the vote count, leading to 135,000 extra ballots.  "Today we petitioned the court to preserve our right to a fair election process and to have a judge oversee and review ballots, if necessary," Adams said in a statement.  "We are notifying the other campaigns of our lawsuit through personal service, as required by law, because they are interested parties," Adams said.  "We invite the other campaigns to join us and petition the court as we all seek a clear and trusted conclusion to this election," he added.  The suit was filed Wednesday in Kings County Supreme Court.

Confusion surrounds vote count in NYC mayoral primary.  The Democratic primary for mayor of New York City was thrown into a state of confusion Tuesday when election officials retracted their latest report on the vote count after realizing it had been corrupted by test data never cleared from a computer system.  The bungle was a black mark on New York City's first major foray into ranked choice voting and seemed to confirm worries that the city's Board of Elections, which is jointly run by Democrats and Republicans, was unprepared to implement the new system.

NY mayor's race in 'chaos' as 135,000 extra votes show up.  Don't you dare question the integrity of the 2020 presidential election because Democrats can always be trusted to run fair, honest and transparent elections.  That's the narrative and you're expected to stick with it, even in the face of then nation's biggest, richest, most sophisticated city obviously bungling the race to elect its next mayor.  It's so blatant that even the New York Times recognizes the problem and applies the word "chaos."

BOE botched NYC mayoral primary results by including 'test' run.  The too-close-to-call Democratic primary race that will likely decide New York's next mayor was thrown into disarray after election officials admitted they accidentally included "test" results in the vote count, leading to 135,000 extra ballots.  The botching of the city's first ranked-choice election was first flagged by front-runner Eric Adams, who pointed out that preliminary results from the Board of Elections showed that 941,832 votes were cast for the Democratic mayoral nomination, a huge increase from the 799,827 that were counted on primary day last week.  The BOE clarified its screwup in a tweet Tuesday night [6/29/2021].  "It has been determined that ballot images used for testing were not cleared from the Election Management System (EMS)," the board said of the fiasco.

Trump: 'nobody will ever know who really won' NYC mayoral vote — 'just like' presidential election.  Former President Trump Wednesday [6/30/2021] gleefully compared the city Board of Election's error-plagued vote count with his own 2020 election defeat.  "Just like in the 2020 Presidential Election, it was announced overnight in New York City that vast irregularities and mistakes were made," Trump wrote in an email message.  "The fact is, based on what has happened, nobody will ever know who really won."

Eric Adams Says Vote Counting Raises 'Serious Questions' after Losing Ground In NYC Mayor's Race.  In a statement released Tuesday, New York City mayoral race frontrunner and Brooklyn Borough president Eric Adams questioned the update in the ranked-choice voting election results, which shrunk his winning margin significantly.  "The vote total just released by the Board of Elections is 100,000-plus more than the total announced on election night, raising serious questions," Adams wrote.  The candidate demanded the board explain apparent discrepancies in the most recent dump of ranked-choice voting results.  "We have asked the Board of Elections to explain such a massive increase and other irregularities before we comment on the Rank Choice Voting projection.  We remain confident that Eric Adams will be the next mayor of New York because he put together a historic five-borough working class coalition of New Yorkers to make our city a safer, fairer, more affordable place," the statement read.

NYC mayoral primary race thrown into chaos as BOE appears to botch vote count.  The Democratic primary race for mayor was thrown into chaos Tuesday as the city Board of Elections appeared to have botched the count amid the city's first ranked-choice election — adding 135,000 pre-election "test" ballots that hadn't been cleared from a computer.  According to a BOE statement Tuesday night, "it has determined that ballot images used for testing were not cleared from the Election Management System.

Ri-i-i-ight.  You believe that excuse, don't you?  If it's true, why did it take a week to figure it out?  Did nobody notice when the polls opened that the vote totals were greater than zero?

Leader in NYC Mayoral Race Questioning Where 100,000 Votes Just Came From to Make Race Much Closer.  You may get some deja vu with the news about what just happened in the saga of the NYC mayoral election today.  The election was actually last Tuesday [6/22/2021].  But they're still counting and don't expect to be done until sometime in July.

The Epistemology of Election Audits.  Epistemology is the study of how we know.  It's a branch of philosophy with several competing theories, but we don't need to get in the weeds.  With regard to our elections, all the American voter needs to know about knowing is how the states verify the eligibility of the voter and then add his vote to the appropriate counter.  One way state governments try to prove who actually won (so that voters can know) is the election audit.  There are several types of election audit, and the recount is considered one.  Several states have moved to conduct audits of the 2020 presidential election, with Arizona being out in front.  Other states sent observers to see just how Arizona conducts its audit.

The Three-Way Squeeze.  Here is why the "Joe Biden" regime only has a few months to live:  it is caught in a squeeze between some of the greatest lies in world history, and they're all unraveling now. [...] Big Lie No. 2 is that "Joe Biden" won the Nov 3, 2020 presidential election.  That colossal scam, which the Democratic party advertised well in advance, and accomplished via blatant mail-in ballot fraud and computer voting machine tweaking, was never properly adjudicated — despite media claims that court cases were dismissed on the basis of evidence, which was not so.  The Arizona vote audit underway is the first of probably many efforts among the so-called swing states to interrogate that operation.  The "Joe Biden" government tried and failed to shut down the AZ audit early in the game.  Then, late last Friday, Attorney General Merrick Garland upped the ante, saying that he was about to send a gang of federal attorneys down AZ-way to scotch [it].  Recall that, constitutionally, elections are conducted entirely under the prerogatives of each state, not the national government.  The AZ audit was ordered by the Arizona State Senate.  State Senator (and former fighter pilot) Wendy Rogers, replied to AG Garland, "You will not touch Arizona ballots or machines unless you want to spend time in an Arizona prison.  Maybe you should focus on stopping terrorism."  The next move is Mr. Garland's.  Will he send in federal marshals to seize the ballots and Dominion machines?  Or will "Joe Biden" tell AZ Governor Doug Doucy to sic the national guard on his own state senate?  If you want to start a real civil war, that would be a good way to kick it off.

Justice Department's Lawsuit Against Georgia Is Completely Partisan.  The Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, headed by new, radical Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke, filed a lawsuit on June 25 against Georgia.  The Justice Department claimed the state's recently enacted election reform law, SB 202, violates the 1965 Voting Rights Act because it discriminates against black Georgia voters.  The complaint reads like a press release drafted by the Democratic National Committee instead of a serious lawsuit by an apolitical Justice Department.  Clarke claims the new law has a discriminatory effect and that Georgia legislators "intended to deny or abridge the right of black Georgians to vote."  These claims are without merit and appear to be driven by the Biden administration's disagreements with Georgia's policy choices.  The law does not discriminate under the Voting Rights Act.  For example, contrary to the Justice Department's claim, there is nothing remotely discriminatory about requiring individuals to request an absentee ballot at least 11 days before Election Day instead of the prior deadline of only four days.

New York City is still figuring out last week's election.  Just in case you're wondering who won last week's Democratic primary in New York City's mayoral race, there will be new updates later today.  But to save you a little bit of time, we can give you the short version of it.  Keep wondering.  There will not be a winner announced after today's next round of voting and this process will be continuing for weeks to come.  Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams prevailed last week with a fairly healthy margin of ten points, but that apparently no longer matters, thanks to Gotham's new ranked-choice voting system.  Today, the Board of Elections will be determining who came in last in the race to be the next mayor and transfer all of their votes over to whoever those voters picked as their second choice.  Since that almost certainly won't put either of the top finishers over the 50% mark, they will keep performing this reshuffling of legally cast votes until they obtain a result they like.

Arizona's Maricopa County to replace all voting machines after GOP audit.  Arizona's Maricopa County announced Monday that it plans to replace all of the voting machines that were turned over to the state Senate and other officials overseeing the audit of 2020 presidential election results.  The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors released its response to a May letter from Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs (D), in which she expressed concerns "regarding the security and integrity of these machines, given that the chain of custody, a critical security tenet, has been compromised and election officials do not know what was done to the machines while under Cyber Ninjas' control."  In response, the county told Hobbs it "shares your concerns" and added that the board acknowledges the secretary of state's "authority as Arizona's Chief Election Officer to determine what equipment is acceptable for use in Arizona's elections."

Predictably Bondo Barr Covers The Rot.  There has been a lot of discussion today about an Atlantic article containing an outline of former AG Bill Barr's discussion with reporters and the White House in the aftermath of the 2020 election.  In essence the nub of the article is Bill Barr stating to a journalist December 1st:  "To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected a different outcome in the election," and then the article covers the fallout with the White House from that AP interview.

There's a Small Problem With Barr's Profanity Laced Claim About No Election Fraud.  Yesterday, we reported how former Attorney General Bill Barr left no doubt he was exiting the Trump orbit when he told ABC's Jonathan Karl what he thought about the claims of election fraud.  He sat down with Karl in a series of interviews for a piece in The Atlantic in the spring.  The piece regarding the interviews was published yesterday [6/27/2021].

Texas AG Paxton: 500 Election Fraud Cases Pending.  Texas Attorney Gen. Ken Paxton has announced that more than 500 election fraud cases are currently waiting to be heard in court.  Over the weekend, Paxton relayed on Twitter that his team will prosecute every instance of voter fraud.  This comes after he shared information about a woman being arrested for multiple counts of election fraud in a 2018 local election.  Monica Mendez was convicted on seven counts of illegal voting, eight counts of unlawfully assisting a voter, eight counts of unlawful possession of ballots and eight counts of election fraud.  In response to the case, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) said his team plans to pursue laws for more secure elections.

AZ Audit:  Counting of Paper Ballots in Maricopa County Has Concluded, But There's Still Work to Do Before Report is Released.  he counting and examination of paper ballots in Maricopa County, Arizona concluded on Friday, but there is still more work to do before the full results are made public.  According to one report, however, preliminary results could be released as early as this week.  The Maricopa County Audit Twitter account announced that they had finished counting paper ballots Friday evening [6/25/2021].  [Tweet]  Ken Bennett, Senate liaison to the Maricopa County, Arizona, election audit, told OANN earlier this month that there would still be several more weeks of work left to do after the counting was concluded, and that the final results would not be made available until later this summer, or Labor Day at the latest.

DOJ lawsuit over Georgia's election laws may 'backfire' against the Biden administration and vindicate voter ID for mail-in ballots.  A conservative legal scholar has argued that the Department of Justice's new lawsuit challenging Georgia's election law could backfire against the Biden administration and fail in court.  'I'm highly skeptical and I think that they may ultimately regret this move.  It could indeed clarify this issue in the way that the Biden administration does not want,' Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University, told Fox News.  Attorney General Merrick Garland on Friday [6/25/2021] announced the suit against Georgia, alleging Republican state lawmakers passed a sweeping election reform to discriminate against black voters.

Biden DOJ lawsuit over Georgia election law may backfire, legal scholar Jonathan Turley says.  Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that the Department of Justice is suing the state of Georgia Friday over their passing of a law to ensure election integrity and security.  President Biden has been highly critical of the new law comparing it to Jim Crow.  George Washington University Law Professor and Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley sat down with "Fox & Friends" Saturday to analyze the DOJ lawsuit.  "I'm highly skeptical and I think they may ultimately regret this move.  It could indeed clarify this issue in a way the Biden administration does not want," Turley said.  Turley raised questions over the merit of the lawsuit citing similarities between Georgia and other states such as Delaware.  "But, this is a very dubious case in my view.  Because the Georgia law has great overlap with other states like Delaware" he said.

There's Been a Slight Discrepancy.  The hand review of Maricopa County votes began in late April, after Arizona's state Senate seized the ballots and voting machines from the county using a legislative subpoena.  It has continued through this week and a final report is expected soon.  No matter the result Senate President Karen Fann has said the goal of the review is not to overturn Biden's "win" in Arizona but to look for ways to improve future elections.  If that's the goal I'd suggest they, along with other states that likewise wish to "improve future elections," begin by making it much harder for fraudsters to steal the vote; even if Facebook believes such thinking is a sure sign of crazy, racist white supremacism.

Massive narrative fail by progressives on election integrity.  Nothing is more sacred to American progressives as an Absolute Truth than the contention that the 2020 presidential election was totally fair.  Any dissent is labeled as "the Big Lie," and that it was corrupt makes you "despicable" in the eyes of the Senate Majority Leader.  "Fact-checkers" in the agitprop media insist that there is no evidence of significant fraud, and the social media monopolists enforce discipline against those who dare question the Holy Writ.  (And don't you dare mention Stacey Abrams or Hillary Clinton questioning their election defeats.  That's different and don't ask why.[)]  Belief that the election results were fraudulently obtained can even get you in trouble with the law:  Nearly every charging document filed by Joe Biden's Justice Department in the Capitol breach probe mentions the defendant's belief about the 2020 presidential election as evidence of wrongdoing.  Actually auditing the ballots cast will get you investigated by Merrick Garland's Department of Justice, and maybe sued or prosecuted.

Election Integrity:  The Firewall That Keeps America Free.  There is no denying that the COVID-19 viral invasion was a catalyst for so much of the disruption of 2020, culminating in election irregularity in November.  By spring 2020, normal activities and businesses were largely shut down nationwide by federal and local governments' response to COVID-19.  Antifa and BLM protests and riots in May and June brought the costliest manmade damage to American property in history.  Then the cancel culture, already ensconced and in control of college and university campuses, came to the streets and parks of America in the tearing down historic monuments — all the while law enforcement was coming under severe attack with numerous police departments facing prospects of defunding.  This lockdown-crisis environment gave Democrats an opportunity to push for change in state election rules to their advantage, such as allowing wholesale distribution of mail-in ballots, extension of deadlines for counting those ballots, and legal challenges to voter ID and signature verification laws.  And we all now know the result:  the November 3rd election was characterized by unprecedented election irregularities and charges of vote fraud in more states than any prior election.

N.Y. Court Revokes Giuliani's Law License For Exposing Election Fraud.  Rudy Giuliani, the former personal lawyer to President Trump, criticized a New York state appeals court decision to suspend his law license.  On Thursday, a the court ruled Giuliani has made "false and misleading statements" regarding voter fraud while defending the 45th president in several swing states after the 2020 election.  While speaking to reporters, Giuliani questioned how the court asserted he lied if he has yet to receive an official hearing.  "If you wanna say I said something irresponsible, you gotta give me a chance to defend myself," he stated.  "I can more than defend myself.  I can show that everything I said was based on a witness.  They have never bothered to check that."

Final Arizona Ballot Inspections Completed — Huge Preliminary Report Expected Monday.  The Arizona Audit officially completed both the hand count and paper evaluation inspections on Friday [6/25/2021].  The audit workers will now vacate Veterans Memorial Coliseum and prepare to deliver a report to the Arizona Senate.

A.U.D.I.T. of Elections:  Is the Dam Breaking?  Election-related revelations continue apace, and suspicions about what actually transpired last November continue to grow, much to the chagrin of the Democrat-media complex.  A total of 20 states have sent delegations to observe the Arizona audit.  Some of those are planning audits of their own.  Is that an indication of greater or lesser national interest in the audit(s), Democrats?

Five Shots of Optimism for Freedom-Lovers.  [#3]  After a controversial national election in which the dubious use of mail-in ballots and suspicious voting irregularities in Democrat-controlled counties of battleground states combined to produce a Biden victory with a margin of roughly 40,000 votes spread across three states, a majority of Americans believe that vote fraud occurred in the 2020 presidential election and support a full forensic audit of the election results.  Arizona has answered those concerns by initiating a secure and transparent audit of its ballots in Maricopa County.  How has the federal government responded?  Attorney General Merrick Garland has threatened states and auditing teams that scrutinize election results with the possibility of civil rights charges.  The Department of Justice has made it clear that it is more interested in punishing Americans for uncovering vote fraud than in punishing Americans for committing vote fraud.  Intimidating Americans to cover up past crimes sounds a lot like aiding and abetting criminal activity, and Arizona wasted no time making that plain to the feds.

Judge names members of Fulton election board in lawsuit; ballot audit will proceed.  An order handed down by a Georgia judge today [6/24/2021] named several individual members of a county elections board as respondents in an election-related lawsuit, clearing the way for an intensive audit of 2020 absentee ballots in Georgia's largest county.  Superior Court Judge Brian Amero in a Thursday ruling dismissed several claims brought against governmental entities of Fulton County on sovereign immunity grounds, but he allowed the five members of Fulton County's Board of Registration and Elections to be named in the suit.  "Sovereign immunity" is a legal doctrine that holds that governmental parties are protected from many or most forms of lawsuits.  In Amero's ruling, he notes that Georgia law stipulates that "no suit alleging violations of due process or equal protection rights under the Georgia Constitution, that seek declaratory or injunctive relief, may be initiated against either the state or county," barring a waiver from the state legislature or the state constitution.

Source: Justice Department is suing Georgia over the state's voting laws.  The Justice Department is suing Georgia over the state's voting laws, a person familiar with the matter said Friday [6/25/2021].  The announcement will be made later Friday by Attorney General Merrick Garland.  It comes two weeks after Garland said the Justice Department would scrutinize a wave of new laws in Republican-controlled states that tighten voting rules.  He pledged to take action if prosecutors found unlawful activity.

Chris Hayes calls for the jailing of those who continue to question the 2020 election results.  A few weeks ago, I wrote an article here about MSNBC's Joe Scarborough going on a rant about the ongoing Maricopa County, Arizona, audit of the 2020 presidential election.  Scarborough stated that anyone who questioned the election results should leave the country.  I described this as an all-time low for MSNBC, but a few weeks later, they topped it:  MSNBC's Chris Hayes described the Maricopa County election audit as "ridiculous and dangerous."  On June 3rd, Hayes ridiculed Pennsylvania GOP State Senator Douglas Mastriano for visiting the Arizona audit.  The audit, Hayes said, was an "assault on democracy."  "They are trying to destroy" democracy's legitimacy, Hayes said of those who question the election results.  The audit is a "mass delusion," he claimed, that will cause damage and destruction to democracy.

Survey, 55 Percent of American Voters Support Election Audits, Including 57 Percent of Independent Voters.  Rasmussen has an interesting survey about election integrity issues.  Within the survey the majority of likely voters support election audits including 71% of Republicans, 57% of Independents and 38% of Democrats.  Additionally, "[t]he new survey also found that 41% of voters still don't believe that Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election fairly", that result is 7% higher than February when "34% of Likely Voters did not believe Biden won the election fairly."  It appears the number of people who now see the 2020 election fraud is considerably higher than a few months ago.

Pennsylvania Senate Passes Constitutional Amendment to Require Voter ID For All Ballots.  The Pennsylvania Senate on Wednesday [6/23/2021] passed a bill that would amend the state constitution to require that voters present identification each time they cast a ballot.  The measure, SB735, passed in a 30-20 vote, mostly along partisan lines.  The proposal was backed by all Republicans and a single Democrat.  Currently, state voters are only required to present identification the first time they vote at a polling station.  The measure would require some form of verification every time a ballot is cast, including when voting by mail.  It also proposes amending the voting age in the Pennsylvania Constitution from 21 to 18, making it consistent the U.S. Constitution.  Constitutional amendments can be made if two-thirds of both chambers of Congress agree on a proposal and it is ratified by three-fourths of states, or if a convention is called by two-thirds of state legislatures backing the proposed amendments.

Judge names members of Fulton election board in lawsuit; ballot audit will proceed.  An order handed down by a Georgia judge today named several individual members of a county elections board as respondents in an election-related lawsuit, clearing the way for an intensive audit of 2020 absentee ballots in Georgia's largest county.  Superior Court Judge Brian Amero in a Thursday ruling dismissed several claims brought against governmental entities of Fulton County on sovereign immunity grounds, but he allowed the five members of Fulton County's Board of Registration and Elections to be named in the suit.  "Sovereign immunity" is a legal doctrine that holds that governmental parties are protected from many or most forms of lawsuits.  In Amero's ruling, he notes that Georgia law stipulates that "no suit alleging violations of due process or equal protection rights under the Georgia Constitution, that seek declaratory or injunctive relief, may be initiated against either the state or county," barring a waiver from the state legislature or the state constitution.

Judge Delivers Ruling in Fulton County, Georgia, Ballot Audit.  In the Atlanta ballot lawsuit Henry County Superior Court Chief Judge Brian Amero has granted the ability of Fulton county, the county elections board, and county courts clerk, as offices, to be removed as defendants in the lawsuit filed by Garland Favorito and nine plaintiffs.  However, Judge Amero kept the lawsuit alive by granting the plaintiffs' request to add individual members of the county board of elections as respondents.  The problem this presents is transparent.  The next move by Lawfare lawyers representing opposition to the case will be for each of the individual members to now claim sovereign immunity as none of their specifically individual actions will be identified as contributing to any ballot fraud.

Ga. audit lawyer demands full investigation into Fulton County's ballot irregularities.  A lawyer spearheading a major ballot audit inside Georgia's largest county is warning the irregularities apparent in that county's election management are "horrendous" and cut against "the basic principle of our democracy."  Atlanta-based attorney Bob Cheeley made those claims while talking to Just the News editor-in-chief John Solomon on Tuesday night's "Securing our Elections:  Protecting Your Vote" special on Real America's Voice.  Cheeley is among the investigators approved by a Georgia court to audit the 2020 absentee ballots of Fulton County, Ga., a county critical to Joe Biden's historic 2020 win of Georgia that helped propel him to the White House.

6 Key Things to Know About Arizona's Election Audit.  In what could be either the final battle of the prolonged presidential election or inspiration for future ballot reviews, a contested audit of some of Arizona's election results is about to wrap up.  The audit of the results in Maricopa County, which pitted state and county Republicans against each other and drew the attention of the Biden Justice Department, is set to be completed by the end of June.  Doug Logan, CEO of Cyber Ninjas, the tech firm conducting the audit, last month specified that deadline for state senators.  The Arizona state Senate ordered the audit, which has withstood a court challenge. [...] Maricopa County officials argued that the audit is a waste of time because there already had been two previous audits of election equipment, but the Senate-ordered audit is the first forensic audit.

GOP Blocks Federal Election Takeover.  An attempted federal takeover of elections was thwarted Tuesday, as Senate Republicans voted to block further debate on the legislation.  With Vice President Kamala Harris presiding and prepared to cast a potential tie-breaking vote, the Senate divided 50-50 on a straight party-line vote.  It would have taken 60 votes to proceed to debate and a vote.  If enacted into law, the bill would ban most state voter ID laws, expand ballot harvesting, prevent the updating of voter registration lists, establish taxpayer-financed campaigns, and require states to allow same-day voter registration, among many other things.

Wisconsin official says Zuckerberg-funded group seized control of 2020 election.  The now-retired elections clerk in a key Wisconsin county says political activists working for a group funded by Mark Zuckerberg money seized control of the November elections in Green Bay and other cities, sidelining career experts and making last-minute changes that may have violated state law.  "They had no business doing that," ex-Brown County Clerk Sandy Juno told Just the News, recounting how funding from the Zuckerberg-backed Center for Tech and Civic Life injected chaos and unnecessary changes to how ballots were counted in Green Bay in November.  Juno, a Republican who helped administer her county's elections for 22 years, also called on policymakers to ban future grant money going from rich donors to local election referees because of the potential for corrupt influence.

Democrats, Establishment Media Crushed by Senate Republicans Blocking Elections Takeover Bill.  Democrats and the establishment media were crushed Tuesday [6/22/2021] by Senate Republicans' filibuster of a bill that would hand the federal government control of local elections by canceling voter ID and funding political campaigns with tax money.  Reporter Jake Sherman of NBC News tweeted upon the defeat that "McConnell uses the 'language and the logic' of the southern [Democrat] senators in the 60s when it came to voting rights."

Republicans Block Democrats' Sweeping 'Voting Rights' Legislation.  Senate Republicans on Tuesday used their filibuster power to block debate on Democrats' sweeping federal elections bill, dealing a fatal blow to one of President Biden's early major agenda items.  The measure failed in a 50-50 vote along party lines.  However, even without Republicans' use of the filibuster, the bill would have failed to pass as Democratic Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia voted to advance to debate but said he would vote against the measure unless a number of changes were made.

Senate Blocks Democrats' Election 'Power Grab' Bill.  Senate Republicans blocked a signature Democrat election bill that would radically transform America's electoral system and grant the federal government more control over the country's elections. [...] Among other things, the legislation would:
  •   Federalize control over congressional elections;
  •   Declare that standard state and local maintenance of elections systems, such as purging ineligible voters from voter rolls, limiting vote-by-mail, requiring voter ID, and establishing rules against felons voting, would erode the right to vote;
  •   Require all challenges to the law to be filed in the federal courts in Washington, DC, dominated by judges appointed by Democrat presidents;
  •   Establish online and automatic voter registration;
  •   Protect illegal immigrants from prosecution if they vote;
  •   Establish same-day voter registration;
  •   Register minors to vote;
  •   Mandate early voting;
  •   Establish nationwide vote-by-mail without a voter ID; and
  •   Allow ballots to be counted ten days after Election Day.

One-third says Biden won 'only due to voter fraud,' 80% want voter ID.  Despite the media's best efforts to mock claims of 2020 voting fraud, or "the Big Lie," one-third of the nation believes President Joe Biden beat former President Donald Trump "only due to voter fraud." [...] And the latest Monmouth University poll on voting and elections said that the country is divided on mail-in balloting, one of the big splits between Washington Democrats and Republican governors and legislatures.  "The continuing efforts to question the validity of last year's election is deepening the partisan divide in ways that could have long-term consequences for our Democracy, even if most Americans don't quite see it that way yet," said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute.  The new survey is somewhat of a blow to the mainstream narrative that the public wants easy and expanded access to voting and doesn't believe reports of fraud during the 2020 voting process.

Pennsylvania Senate Republicans Inch Closer Toward Maricopa County-Style Election Audit.  Lawmakers in Pennsylvania are moving closer to potentially voting to authorize an audit of the commonwealth's 2020 elections following recent remarks made by Pennsylvania state Sen. David Argall, a top Republican in the upper chamber.  Without ruling out an Arizona-style audit occurring in the state, Argall, who chairs the Senate State Government Committee, told reporters that he wants to see another review of Pennsylvania's election results.  "It's a very careful recount, forensic audit, so yeah, I don't see the danger in it," Argall told reporters over the weekend.  "I just think that it would not be a bad idea at all to proceed with an audit similar to what they're doing in Arizona."

"We Will Not Count Counterfeit Ballots in Future Elections": Fulton County Defense Argues 'No Controversy' in Audit Case.  The judge presiding over the Fulton County election case was expected to rule on whether or not the inspection of physical ballots that were cast and tabulated during the 2020 election can proceed.  Judge Brian Amero's ruling will decide whether an independent election audit can go forward as planned.  During the high stakes proceedings, the petitioners made the case that the examination of the ballots should proceed as planned to determine if the fraudulent counting of double ballots occurred.  "We are uncertain as to the weight and value of our vote, my clients' votes, going forward," the claimants argued.  "And that's what we are trying to address.  We are not trying to address the results of the November election."

Tweet by Georgia Public Broadcasting Writer Reveals More Chain of Custody Document Discrepancies in Fulton County Absentee Ballot Transfer Forms.  A tweet by Georgia Public Broadcasting (GPB) News writer Stephen Fowler on Saturday revealed more chain of custody document discrepancies in Fulton County's absentee ballot drop box transfer forms.  The tweet included a partial image — the very top only — of two transfer forms Fowler claims were part of an open records response GPB News received on Wednesday from Fulton County election officials.  [Tweet]  The problem is that the absentee ballot count in the forms that Fowler tweeted does not match the official spreadsheet Fulton County provided The Star News on May 3.  In fact, Fowler's tweeted images claim a total of 36 absentee ballots were collected from the Metropolitan Library and Cleveland Avenue Library drop boxes on October 11, while the official spreadsheet from Fulton County showed only 15 total absentee ballots collected from those two drop boxes on that day.

Obama: Voting rights bill must pass before next election.  Former President Obama said Monday [6/21/2021] that Congress needs to pass voting rights legislation before the 2022 midterm elections, or American democracy could be at risk.  "We can't wait until the next election because if we have the same kinds of shenanigans that brought about Jan. 6, if we have that for a couple more election cycles, we're going to have real problems in terms of our democracy long-term," said Obama.

Georgia Judge Hears Motions on Atlanta Area Audit of 147,000 Absentee Ballots, Decision Pending.  Earlier this morning Georgia Judge Brian Amero heard arguments by Fulton County officials seeking to dismiss a lawsuit by Garland Favorito, who wants to be able to inspect 147,000 Fulton County absentee ballots.  After approximately 90 minutes of procedural arguments Judge Amero said he will consider the motions before making a ruling.  The plaintiffs are basing much of their argument on sworn statements from several Atlanta election workers who said they saw "pristine" ballots with perfectly filled in ovals, duplicated ballots and double counted ballots during the election tabulation and batch audit in November.  The judge previously granted the plaintiffs access to review 147,000 ballots in high resolution scan or in person.  The election board and Fulton county are now appealing in an effort to block the review.

Mitch McConnell:  Democrats Want to 'Rig the Rules of American Elections Permanently' in Their Favor.  Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) on Monday torched the Democrats' election takeover bill on the Senate floor as a purely "partisan power grab" by the left "to rig the rules of American elections permanently" in their favor.  As the Senate looks to vote on the Democrats' election bill this week, McConnell took to the Senate floor to explain what the Democrats are trying to accomplish with their radical agenda.  "Senate Democrats entered June with an agenda that was designed to fail.  The Democratic leader planned votes on a host of the left's most radical priorities," McConnell said.

Worried CBS Frets:  What to Do If Dem Voting Power Grab Is Doomed?  Monday marked the 21st day of June, a month that Joe Biden hoped would see the passage of his extreme voting rights power grab, as well as a huge infrastructure bill.  So far, neither has happened and CBS This Morning journalists began to fret about what to do next.  In fact, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki seemed to indicate that the so-called "For the People" act was doomed. Co-host Anthony Mason asked Psaki if the White House had an alternative strategy:  "Jen, as Kris Van Cleave mentioned, a vote is expected as early as Tuesday on sweeping voting rights reform.  That bill is looking to come up short of the 60 votes it needs.  If it does fail, what is the President's next move on this?"  It was at this point that Psaki seemed to give away the game, conceding, "And yes, I wouldn't say we expect there to be ten magical votes to appear from the Republicans in the Senate.  They've been pretty clear that they don't want to make it easier to vote.  This is a first step.  We'll see where it goes."

Officials Threaten People Demanding Election Audits in Nevada with Class C Felonies.  I am currently working with a nonpartisan group of concerned Nevadans, advocating for our state constitutional right to an audit.  Turns out it's not up to the People to prove fraud to the courts to get an audit according to Nevada's state constitution, it's actually up to the State to prove all elections are fair and valid if the People demand it, and we're demanding it.  Last week notarized affidavits from all over Nevada were certified mailed to the appropriate state officials demanding their right to a forensic audit.

New Evidence Shows [Raffensperger's] Attorney Ryan Germany Was Made Aware of Election Fraud on Election Night And Hid This From President Trump.  Brad Raffensperger and his attorney Ryan Germany must be very concerned right now.  We've reported on the corrupt and criminal results that were certified by Georgia in the 2020 Election.  Most recently we discussed the report that was provided to Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and yet he claimed the Georgia election was safe and secure after receiving this report showing a complete mess involving potential criminal actions. [...] We've reported in early December of the ballots in the State Farm arena in Fulton County Georgia being jammed through voting machines late at night after kicking election observers out of the Arena.  President Trump warned Raffensperger about these criminal acts and yet Raffensperger denied they existed.

New Evidence Shows Germany Was Made Aware of Election Fraud on Election Night And Hid This From President Trump.  Brad Raffensperger and his attorney Ryan Germany must be very concerned right now.  We've reported on the corrupt and criminal results that were certified by Georgia in the 2020 Election.  Most recently we discussed the report that was provided to Georgia's Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and yet he claimed the Georgia election was safe and secure after receiving this report showing a complete mess involving potential criminal actions.

Illinois governor signs law expanding curbside voting, permanent vote by mail.  Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker signed a law on Thursday [6/17/2021] expanding curbside voting and establishing permanent vote by mail.  Senate Bill 825 lays out procedures for election authorities to establish curbside voting during early voting or on Election Day.  The measure also establishes permanent voting lists that voters can choose to opt-in or opt-out of at any time.  The bill also directs authorities to establish central polling places where "all voters in its jurisdiction are allowed to vote on election day ... regardless of the precinct in which they are registered," according to its text.

Georgia's Dominion Voting System Implementation Manager Gabe Sterling Negotiated a $144,000 Salary Increase for Himself Last Year.  Gabriel Sterling, Georgia's Dominion Voting System Implementation Manager, appeared on several liberal news channels this past year following Georgia's controversial presidential election.  Sterling was the state's "Voting System Implementation Manager."  Georgia officials negotiated a $107 million deal with Dominion earlier in the year for their voting machines.  Democrat operatives removed media and GOP observers from the counting room in Atlanta, Georgia on election night and then proceeded to count thousands of unsecured ballots late in the night on election day including stacks of ballots that were counted two or three times by multiple operatives.

Georgia secretary of state removes 100,000 'outdated' voter files.  Georgia's secretary of state is poised to remove more than 100,000 "outdated" names from the state's voter registration rolls unless those on the list take immediate action.  Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger released the full list of people who could be affected by the registration update on Friday [6/18/2021].  "Making sure Georgia's voter rolls are up to date is key to ensuring the integrity of our elections," the Republican said in a statement.  "There is no legitimate reason to keep ineligible voters on the rolls."  Some critics, such as Gerald Griggs with the Atlanta NAACP, described the move as a voter purge.  Griggs said thousands of voters were improperly removed from the 2019 list.  However, state officials noted the removals are required by law and that the maintenance occurs every two years.

Sidney Powell Summoned to Michigan Court for Sanctions Hearing:  Judge.  Attorney Sidney Powell and other lawyers who filed lawsuits to support former President Donald Trump's claims about the 2020 election were summoned by a judge to a sanctions hearing in Michigan.  U.S. District Judge Linda Parker ordered Powell — who filed a series of third-party lawsuits in Michigan and other states — and the other lawyers to appear at a July 6 hearing, according to court documents filed on Thursday [6/17/2021].  "Each attorney whose name appears on any of Plaintiffs' pleadings or briefs shall be present at the motion hearing set for July 6, 2021" at 2 p.m. ET in Detroit, the single-line order from Parker read.  It concerned a lawsuit, King v.  Whitmer, which was filed last year and alleged President Joe Biden's victory was the result of fraud and asked electors in Michigan to discard the certification of the state's results.

Why Doesn't Soros and Clinton Connected Colorado Secretary of State Griswold Want a Forensic Audit In Her State?  Colorado's Secretary of State is connected to Soros and Hillary Clinton money so it's no surprise she doesn't want a legitimate audit performed in her state.  Yesterday [6/17/2021], Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold released a statement that claimed she would not allow outside auditors to come into Colorado and perform an election audit of the 2020 results in Colorado.  Maybe Griswold doesn't want an audit in Colorado because then the citizens there would wake up and see their state's election process is totally corrupt.  One very quick statistic tells us this.  In the 2020 Election, there were half a million more votes for Joe Biden than there were for Obama, Hillary, and President Trump.  Simply put, there is no way Biden had half a million more votes than Hillary.  No way.

A.U.D.I.T. of Elections:  The Bombshell Revelations Continue.  Thirteen states made election-related news last week, as the interest is growing among Americans about continuing reports of election irregularities, seeping into the public consciousness.  And that doesn't count many miscellaneous reports that cross state lines.  Revelations about election machines containing SQL code, missing absentee ballot custody documentation, and The Hologram's attorney general gearing up to potentially interfere in state-run audits have resulted in more people paying attention than ever before.

Election Worker Ralph Jones Is Now Caught Double-Counting Ballots at the State Farm Center on Election Night!  A new report confirms Fulton County election worker Ruby Freeman was not the only leftist operative double counting stacks of ballots in Atlanta on election night.  Top Atlanta election official Ralph Jones was also double scanning ballots late at night at the State Farm Center in Atlanta, Georgia on election night.  Ralph Jones was the person who sent home all of the election observers.  Then his crew, including Ruby and daughter Shaye, went to work on election night!

Pennsylvania poised to begin Arizona-style election audit with subpoena power.  Pennsylvania appears to be on the precipice of initiating an Arizona-style audit of the 2020 election.  State Sen. David Argall, who heads a committee that oversees elections, told local news outlets he favors a forensic audit of the contest that state and federal officials insist was secure.  The Republican, under pressure by former President Donald Trump to take action, told the Capital-Star the audit is now a "very real possibility."  The report said he is considering subpoenas for ballot information and which jurisdictions to send them.  "There are a lot of things under consideration right now, and I told them to check back in a week or two, and we hope to have some more detail," he told the outlet after meeting with audit-supporting activists on Thursday.

Georgia investigator's notes reveal 'massive' election integrity problems in Atlanta.  In a nationally televised interview in January, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger rattled off an impressive list of measures his state used to ensure the November election count was accurate.  "We had safe, secure, honest elections," he declared to "60 Minutes."  That rosy assessment, however, masked an ugly truth inside his agency's own files:  A contractor handpicked to monitor election counting in Fulton County wrote a 29-page memo back in November outlining the "massive" election integrity failures and mismanagement that he witnessed in the Atlanta-area's election centers.  The bombshell report, constructed like a minute-by-minute diary, cited a litany of high-risk problems such as the double-counting of votes, insecure storage of ballots, possible violations of voter privacy, the mysterious removal of election materials at a vote collection warehouse, and the suspicious movement of "too many" ballots on Election Day.

Georgia audit documents expose significant election failures in state's largest county.  Documents that Georgia's largest county submitted to state officials as part of a post-election audit highlight significant irregularities in the Atlanta area during last November's voting, ranging from identical vote tallies repeated multiple times to large batches of absentee ballots that appear to be missing from the official ballot-scanning records.  The problems in predominantly Democratic Fulton County potentially impact thousands of ballots in a presidential race that Joe Biden was certified as winning statewide by fewer than 12,000 votes.  The memos reviewed by Just the News include the handwritten tally sheets for all absentee ballots counted by the county as well as a private report from a contractor hired by Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to monitor the Atlanta-area election process.  The report, which chronicled seven days of problems, recorded troubling behavior like the mysterious removal of a suitcase of sensitive election data known as polls pads, used to authenticate voters.

Ballot Problems Persist in Atlanta, Georgia — Missing Ballots, Missing Logs, Duplicated Ballot Scans and Worse.  To say there are sketchy issues in Fulton County, Georgia, elections would be the understatement of the year.  So many issues have been raised with the Atlanta area 2020 election processes it would be impossible to encapsulate them in one article.  However, one consistent pattern continues:  It appears specific lots of ballots — all favoring Joe Biden — were counted multiple times.  The multiple counting issue is just one aspect, one point of data, that current lawsuits within the region are attempting to resolve.  The scanning of the same batches of ballots multiple times would explain the "missing batches" issue.  The batches are "missing" because they were simply not batches at all, they were duplicate scans of ballots that had already been counted.  Additionally, fraudulent ballots created on non secure paper, which appear to have been made on copy machines, is another issue.  That issue has been directly confirmed to CTH by an election worker who was part of the original count and who noted there were ballots on paper that was not authorized as print stock for the original ballots.

California Exported Activists To Cure Ballots in Arizona, Georgia In Days Following Election.  As the Arizona audit of 2020 ballots winds down, progressive activists — continuing the tradition they laid out in that extraordinary TIME Magazine article where they admitted all the things they did to ensure a Biden win — are now admitting to traveling from California to Arizona and Georgia to help cure ballots in the days following the election.  A California nonprofit called Unite Here is profiled in yet another extraordinary piece in The Atlantic in which they admit they sent activists across state lines to Arizona to help "cure" ballots in the days following the election.  The article [...], rather shamelessly details how activists associated with the nonprofit had affected races in Arizona in the past and had their sights set on the general election as early as July.

The Supreme Court's Day of Reckoning is Coming.  The COVD-19 pandemic gave numerous state election officials an excuse to implement far-reaching changes to our election processes.  Those changes obviously made our systems vulnerable to fraud.  States implemented massive mail-in balloting at the same time they relaxed ballot security and voter identification.  They even extended the voting periods — to give the criminals more time to commit their fraud.  All these changes were unconstitutional.  The Constitution clearly gives the various state legislatures the authority to define how their elections will be conducted — not state election officials.  Election officials are only empowered to conduct elections within the rules set forth by their respective legislatures — except, apparently, during a pandemic. [...] After all the ad-hoc changes had been allowed to stand, the election of 2020 saw an unprecedented number of irregularities — too many to ignore.  Election observers were banned from observing the election.  Counting stopped in the middle of the night and then restarted after boxes of ballots were mysteriously found.  There are reports of ballots being driven across state lines — by the truckload.  There were even precincts that counted more ballots than there were registered voters!  A number of states filed lawsuits against the states in which these irregularities occurred.

Significant Election Irregularities Exposed in Fulton County, Georgia.  Documents from Fulton County, Georgia, that were submitted to state officials for the election audit "highlight significant irregularities in the Atlanta area during last November's voting, ranging from identical vote tallies repeated multiple times to large batches of absentee ballots that appear to be missing from the official ballot-scanning records," reports Just The News.  Thousands of ballots are potentially impacted by these irregularities, suggesting they could be results-changing, as Joe Biden's state-certified victory in the state was by fewer than 12,000 votes.  Just The News reviewed memos that included "handwritten tally sheets for all absentee ballots counted by the county as well as a private report from a contractor hired by Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to monitor the Atlanta-area election process."

Arizona Audit Finishes With Hand Count, Closing In on End of Paper Evaluation.  The 2020 election audit in Arizona's largest county is projected to end by June 26, officials said in a new update.  Audit teams, led by Florida-based Cyber Ninjas, finished counting virtually all of the nearly 2.1 million ballots earlier this week, except for under 100 braille ballots.  Workers were shifted to performing evaluation measures on the ballots after they finished the counting.  Teams are looking at "anything related to whether the ballot was authentic," Ken Bennett, the former Arizona secretary of state who is serving as the state Senate's audit liaison, told The Epoch Times last week.  That includes examining ballots said to have been mailed in for folds, using microscopic cameras to determine whether marks on the ballots are properly aligned, and looking at the depression made in the oval to try to figure out whether it was filled out by hand or by a machine.

Failed Gubernatorial Candidate Stacey Abrams Hired and Controlled Staffing for Fulton County Georgia's 2020 Election.  Evidence unearthed in a court case in Georgia today shows that failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams oversaw the staffing for the 2020 Election in Georgia.  CD Media reported on a court case this morning that unearthed who was really running the 2020 election in Fulton County Georgia:  ["]Evidence presented at this morning's public meeting of the Fulton County Commission shows former Democrat gubernatorial candidate and State Rep Stacey Abrams controlled and financed the main contractor used in Fulton County elections during the Nov 3rd poll and the Jan 5th U.S. Senate runoff.  Evidence showed direct financial underwriting of the staffing service Happy Faces Personnel Group, by groups controlled by Abrams.  In other words, a highly partisan Democrat political operative controlled the elections in Fulton County, which also involved a Nigerian national.["]

Sometimes a Coincidence isn't a Coincidence.  The pandemic resulting from COVID-19 was used as rationale for fundamental changes to our election processes.  These changes facilitated the most questionable election outcome in U.S. history.  51% of the population now believes that fraud affected the election outcome — and that number is growing.  Coincidentally, the election of 2020 neutralized China's biggest threat — President Donald J. Trump.  The beneficiary of the compromised election of 2020 is Joe Biden.  Coincidentally, old Joe has deep and troubling financial connections to China.  His son Hunter accompanied him to China when Joe was the vice president and subsequently made millions of dollars from Chinese-sponsored business ventures.  Emails from Hunter's abandoned laptop indicate that Joe was the recipient of a sizable portion of those proceeds.

Arizona Senator:  State Lawmakers Prepared to Act on Findings From Election Audit.  The Arizona legislature is ready to take action if the election audit taking place in the state's largest county uncovers irregularities, a state senator said.  "It'll be our duty to act in whatever way is appropriate," Arizona Sen. Wendy Rogers, a Republican who has been closely tracking the audit in Maricopa County, told The Epoch Times.  Auditors, led by Florida-based Cyber Ninjas, started reviewing ballots from the 2020 election at Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix last month, along with machines used in the contest and other election materials.  Auditors expect to finish their work by the end of this month.  They will then produce a report outlining what they found.  Arizona Senate President Karen Fann, a Republican who authorized the audit, said last month that she thinks some irregularities will be uncovered.

Arizona's AG Issues Blistering Response to Biden Attorney General for Meddling in Election Audits.  The State of Arizona's Attorney General Mark Brnovich has issued a blistering response to Biden's Attorney General Merrick Garland regarding not-so-subtloe threats the Department of Justice has made over the state's election audit of Maricopa County.  On Monday [6/14/2021], Arizona's AG issued the following response to Garland over its threats:  [Tweet]  "Late last week, you made troubling comments about the ongoing efforts in states to ensure election integrity," the letter read.  "Your statements displayed an alarming disdain for state sovereignty as defined under the 10th Amendment of the United States Constitution and the election provisions in Articles I and II."  "Your comments followed a May 5 letter from Pamela Karlan of the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division, on the subject of the Arizona Senate's oversight of the Maricopa County audit," the letter continued.  "This letter appeared more interested in supporting the hysterical outcries of leftist pundits on cable television, rather than the rule of law."

In Maricopa County, are missing ballots the smoking guns?  I've stayed away from writing about the election audit in Arizona's Maricopa County because I felt that, until the audit was completed, there wasn't much point in trying to offering commentary about its progress.  The big outlines were known:  The audit was being carried out meticulously and both Democrats and NeverTrumpers objected vociferously.  On Monday [6/14/2021], though, a conservative reporter with a good reputation revealed some really stunning facts:  Several hundred thousand ballots are missing and boxes that purported to hold ballots for counting contained only blanks. [...] It's always possible, of course, that the missing ballots will still turn up.  However, given that Trump lost Arizona by only 10,457 votes, the fact that 5 to 10 percent of the votes are currently missing is staggering in its implications.

Several Hundred Thousand Maricopa County Ballots Missing, Boxes Identified With Totally Blank Ballots.  I give this report from the audit in Maricopa County, Arizona, a little more weight for two reasons:  First, Patrick Howley is generally accurate in his reporting by disposition; and second, the source of the information is on record, not anonymous.  If this reporting turns out to be accurate, this will be an explosive development.  However, that said, if this report is accurate... this is likely the reason why Maricopa County officials have been fighting the audit, hiring lawyers and positioning themselves in an attempt to undermine the chain-of-custody of the ballots.  Remember, the county Board of Supervisors would not let the State Senate audit take place in their tabulations center.  In an effort to block and stall the audit, the county officials forced the audit organizers to transfer the tabulation machines and truckloads of ballots to the Veterans Coliseum.  Then the board of supervisors held closed-door meetings (shutting out the public) with their lawyers.

More peculiarities about Fulton County's audit timeline.  Real Clear Investigations published an excellent article on Wednesday, reviewing circumstances around the pending vote audit in Fulton County, Georgia.  In it, they quote poll workers who suspect batches of counterfeit, machine-bubbled ballots were counted in the 2020 presidential election.  In particular, one batch appeared to be printed on different card stock and bubbled in with toner ink rather than pen or paper, claims Suzi Voyles, a longtime poll manager.  It was part of a bundle labeled "State Farm Arena," the site where county officials were filmed scanning ballots by themselves in the middle of the night on Nov. 3, after telling observers to leave.  107 of the 110 ballots in that batch went for Biden and each of the 107 had identical down-ticket votes, Voyles told Real America's Voice in a late May interview.  The box they came in was wrapped in packing tape bearing the Georgia Secretary of State's seal, but the tape was unsigned and there was no indication of who had sealed it.

Arizona Sheriff's Office Issues Odd Public Statement on Rumors of Canvassers Asking Residents How They Voted in Prescott, AZ.  The Yavapai County Sheriff's Department issued an odd public Service announcement last Friday.  Yavapai County Recorder Leslie M. Hoffman had received two complaints from citizens.  Someone in Prescott, which is 100 miles North of Phoenix, was allegedly asking residents how they voted.  Apparently, they represented themselves as volunteers for the Recorder's Office.  It's not beneath the DOJ to use an incident like this against the Senate's current audit in Phoenix.

Fulton County Election Official Admits Chain of Custody Documents [are] Missing for 2020 Absentee Ballots Deposited in Drop Boxes.  [Scroll down]  This is the first time that any election official at either the state or county level from a key battleground state has made an admission of significant error in election procedures for the November 3, 2020 election.  The admission of missing chain of custody documents by a Fulton County official is important for several reasons that cut to the very core of public confidence in the outcome of the 2020 presidential election:
  •   President Biden was certified as the winner of Georgia's 16 Electoral College votes in the 2020 election by the narrow margin of less than 12,000 votes over former President Donald Trump out of a total of 5 million votes cast statewide.
  •   The total number of absentee ballots whose chain of custody was purportedly documented in these 385 missing Fulton County absentee ballot transfer forms was 18,901, more than 6,000 votes greater than the less than 12,000 vote margin of Biden's certified victory in the state.
  •   Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has taken no action in 156 of Georgia's 159 counties to secure copies of any absentee ballot drop box transfer forms and review them for accuracy and consistency with reported absentee ballot vote counts.

HR-1/S-1: A Betrayal of American Democracy.  From both sides of the political aisle, all Americans should be alarmed by the bill that recently passed the U.S. House of Representatives.  Now Democrats are renewing their push to ram Bill H.R.1 — For the People Act of 2021 — through the Senate.  If H.R. 1 becomes law, which is not really for the American people at all, America will never be the same and the game will be permanently rigged in favor of the Democrats.  H.R. 1 would put Democrats in charge of our elections and would give liberals permanent and TOTAL power.

HR-1/S-1 Is a Non-Solution to a Non-Crisis.  H.R. 1 has achieved sacrosanct status on the center-left, such that the nation's democratic future is said to depend on it.  If so, it is time to weep for the republic.  H.R. 1 (or S.R. 1 in the Senate), which is known as a voting bill but wanders helter-skelter into all sorts of other areas, is objectively terrible legislation.  It is unfocused, extremely high-handed in its impositions on the states, careless of the speech rights of groups and individuals, and constitutionally dubious.  Absent some radical turnabout, the bill is dead in the Senate, and it deserves to be.  The core of the bill rewrites the election rules all over the country to force every state to adopt automatic voter registration, same-day registration, no-excuse absentee balloting and early in-person voting, among other mandates.

Wisconsin Nov. 3 Election Will Be Investigated by Retired Officers.  Wisconsin state Assembly Speaker Robin Vos says he's hiring retired police officers to probe aspects of the 2020 presidential election, joining efforts in Republican-led states to look into the contest.  Vos, a Republican, told local news outlets that he will hire three retired officers to work with an Assembly committee that has investigatory powers to review the election.  Vos said there were thousands of complaints made after the Nov. 3 contest in Wisconsin — which was narrowly won by President Joe Biden — that need to be investigated.  "We need to have a fact basis to continue to show the public in Wisconsin that, number one, we continue to take these irregularities seriously, and that at the end of the day, the laws that we proposed are based on facts in addition to anecdotes," Vos told the Wisconsin State Journal, adding that he believes Biden won the election but pointed to "irregularities" in how it was carried out.

Election Integrity Efforts Across America Since The Disastrous 2020 Election.  Following the highly contentious 2020 election, elected officials across America have made many efforts to secure the integrity of future elections.  Since November 8, 2020, new election integrity laws have been enacted in ten different states:  Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Montana, Tennessee, Utah, and Wyoming.  In Arizona, Republican Governor Doug Ducey signed S.B. 1485 into law on May 11, 2021.  The bill limits the amount of absentee ballots that are automatically mailed out to registered voters by cleaning the voter rolls and removing those who did not vote in the last two election cycles.  The bill passed the Arizona State Legislature along party lines, with no Democrats voting for the bill.

A growing chorus of Georgians suspicious of voter fraud as audit continues.  Investigations of the 2020 election continue to move forward in Georgia and even some Democrats are raising concerns about possible voter fraud.  In Fulton County, which encompasses much of Atlanta, at least four election workers have been scheduled for depositions in connection to a lawsuit alleging large-scale fraud.  The workers include Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea Moss, who worked in the counting room at Atlanta's State Farm Arena, where ballots pulled from cases were processed on election night without observers or a state election monitor, the Epoch Times reported.

Arizona Senate Liaison Ken Bennett Explains The Process of Counting Duplicated Ballots.  This is one of those interesting explanations that comes in handy later on.  Arizona Senate Liaison Ken Bennett explains what "duplicated ballots" are, what creates them (interesting), and what is the process for auditing them.  I was unaware in Arizona — under some circumstances — you can vote by email and Fax machine.  Mr. Bennett explains there are approximately two pallets of duplicated ballots that also need to go through the hand count audit phase of the Maricopa County forensic audit.  Approximately 22 to 25 boxes containing ballots that were sent to duplication; and a slightly smaller number of boxes of finished ballots from that duplication request that need to be matched to the originating ballot.  [Video clip]

The Constitutional Crisis Deciding the Fate of America's Liberty is NOW.  If state forensic audits are ultimately allowed to establish beyond all reasonable doubt that the outcome of the 2020 election was fraudulently stolen, America will be confronted with having to deal with the incredulous discovery of the largest successful criminal conspiracy the world has ever witnessed — a coup d'état that enabled criminals operating in the dark of night to unlawfully seize complete control of the government of the United States of America ... together with all the power that comes with it.  If that becomes an unavoidable truth, it will present America with a constitutional crisis unlike any it has ever dealt with, and that, in turn, will put before it a question it will not be able to avoid answering. [...] Just this past Friday [6/11/2021], Attorney General Garland strongly suggested that, in light of the recent audit activity, the full weight of the Justice Department has been ordered to investigate any and all violations of law that may have been committed ... not by those who may have committed election fraud ... but, by those even thinking about conducting audits that might uncover the crimes.  Imagine that!

Want to End Electoral Fraud?  Light Up the Infrastructure!.  Remember all the stories about people showing up at the polls in November and being told, "Hey, you already voted!"?  Well, they did.  At least their voter registration personae voted — likely for a candidate they did not support.  Were there three such instances?  Were there 3,000?  Were there 300,000?  We have no way of knowing, since there is no way to track that information.  Election fraud perps built this infrastructure over decades, so every election, they have a bucket of hundreds of thousands of dead voters, voters who moved to Idaho, voters who claim a mailbox as their home, and many more living in vacant lots.  The scam played on the hapless citizenry is that voting needs to take place for weeks, called early voting.  If voting were on a single day, there is no time to react when one comes up short.  This is all part of the vote fraud infrastructure.  Try to shut it down, and you are suppressing the black vote because you are a racist.

Election Fraud is an Issue that Will Not Go Away.  There are many reasons to doubt the 2020 election results.  No question, strange things were happening on Election Night.  Democrats' push for universal mail-in balloting made fraud much easier to commit.  There is evidence of massive foreign cyber-interference as well.  The media say there is nothing to see here, but we cannot move on from November 3 until we fully understand what happened.  Voting fraud has been going on for many years and has not been confronted in any meaningful way.  The Democrats' playbook for a long time has been to steal elections.  This time, it was on a grand scale.  Ironically, had Trump won his second term, election fraud would continue endlessly into the future with little comment.  Arizona is nearing the completion of a full forensic audit, and lawmakers from other states are traveling there to see how it is done.  The issue is reaching critical mass.  Election integrity is finally getting the attention it deserves, and the truth of the 2020 election is going to come out.

Obama-Trump-Biden chart
A.U.D.I.T. of Elections:  Hot and Getting Hotter!  It's not just Arizona and Georgia that are shining klieg lights on "election irregularities"!  Over the past week, a total of 11 states have made election news.  In addition, there are national newsmakers (including the Democrat-media complex dragging out the "big guns" to try to squelch any talk of election forensic audits).  But before we get started with the summary of recent reports, this is a poignant reminder that the logic of the Hologram's victory escapes most rational people.  Certainly, no one in the Democrat-media complex has taken a stab at explaining this chart (courtesy of Tierney Real News):  [Illustration]


Attorney Gen. Merrick Garland announces DOJ will fight voting laws.  Attorney Gen. Merrick Garland announced the Department of Justice's plans to aggressively fight voting laws.  In a speech on Friday, Garland heavily criticized the ongoing election audit in Arizona and said the Justice Department plans to implement measures to stop Republicans from putting policies in place that ensure election integrity.  The Democrat judge also stated the DOJ will double the number of lawyers in its civil rights division within the next 30 days.  The increase in staff will be utilized to challenge new laws that restrain voter access as well as monitor future election audits.

Arizona State Senator Threatens Merrick Garland With Prison If He Interferes In Audit.  The Biden administration's Attorney General Merrick Garland is on a collision course with Maricopa County, Arizona and its audit of the 2020 presidential election and he just got a stern warning to stay away from it from one of the state's senators.  During a speech on voting rights in Washington DC Garland sad the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice would need more attorneys to handle the audits and with new election security laws passed by Republican legislatures and governors, The Denver Post reported.  "As part of its mission to protect the right to vote, the Justice Department will, of course, do everything in its power to prevent election fraud, and if found, to vigorously prosecute it," he said.

Depositions of election workers in Georgia ballot case delayed.  Depositions of election workers in Fulton County, Georgia, have been postponed in a lawsuit alleging that thousands of fraudulent ballots might have been cast there.  The plaintiffs said they consented to allow the depositions to be rescheduled until after a judge holds a hearing on a motion to dismiss the case, according to a filing submitted to Fulton County Superior Court on Thursday.  This agreement, the petitioners said, made a prior filing by the defense moot after attorneys for Fulton County officials asked the court to grant a protective order to postpone the depositions.  The dueling filings come after Superior Court Judge Brian Amero granted a motion last month to unseal higher resolution images of 147,000 absentee ballots from the 2020 election in Fulton County for what one of the plaintiffs, VoterGA co-founder Garland Favorito, said is the opportunity to have them "forensically analyzed."

Garland Weaponizes the DOJ to Go After Republican Voter Integrity Laws.  On Friday [6/11/2021], Attorney General Merrick Garland announced that he would use the Department of Justice (DOJ) to target "new laws that make it harder to vote," like the Georgia law President Joe Biden called "Jim Crow on steroids."  Garland falsely claimed that courts and intelligence agencies had "refuted" 2020 election integrity concerns, suggesting that the laws to restore election integrity are based on "disinformation" and even racism. [...] He noted that the DOJ Civil Rights Division has sent letters expressing concern that audits into the 2020 election may violate provisions of the Voting Rights Act, particularly one provision that bars intimidation of voters.  He did not explain how an audit of votes already cast can intimidate voters who have already voted.

What Happens if the Election Audits Go Trump's Way?  What will the military, the Supreme Court, and the people eventually do?  How will the military, the Supreme Court, and the masses react to the outcome?  How will the military move, how will the Supreme Court rule, and eventually do the masses rise up and take to the streets...if it becomes clear that the presidential election of 2020 was compromised, was stolen, or at the very least had way too many abnormalities and illegalities and thus the wrong person is possibly sitting in the White House? [...] The forensic audit of the popular votes in Arizona being conducted right now is intriguing and also a little scary.  The forensic audit of the popular votes should be able to catch and identify voting irregularities, cheating, abnormalities, and felonious actions.  What happens if not only Arizona flips, but also Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin?

Pennsylvania Republicans Introduce Sweeping Election Reform Bill.  Pennsylvania Republicans proposed an overhaul of the state's election system on Thursday with stricter voter identification requirements and mail ballot signature verification.  State Rep. Seth Grove — the chair of the House State Government Committee who acts as House Republicans' point person for election legislation — introduced the Voting Rights Protection Act, House Bill 1300, after months of hearings by the House State Government Committee.  The legislation aims at transforming and improving Pennsylvania's election process to restore the integrity of and trust in elections, according to a statement from Grove's office.

Michigan Plaintiff William Bailey Files a Motion For Reconsideration Following New Evidence of Antrim County Ballot Fraud.  Michigan attorney Matthew DePerno, on behalf of plaintiff William Bailey, files a motion with Judge Kevin Eslenheimer for reconsideration of prior rulings given the nature of new evidence discovered by the legal team in Antrim County.  The 42-page brief contains new findings within the data forensics of the county.  Two larger items include the remote log-on of the system by someone anonymous who was not at the election office.  The implication is that the system was connected to the internet; and the user did not have to enter identifying credentials for their entries.

Biden's Attorney General Issues Chilling Threat:  Stop Doing Election Audits or the Justice Dept.  Will Get Involved.  Biden's Attorney General Merrick Garland is attempting to put a chill in the air over states deciding to audit the 2020 elections.  Speaking on Friday [6/11/2021] regarding what the left misleadingly terms "voting rights" (all eligible adult U.S. citizens already have voting rights), Garland issued a not-so-subtle threat to states that are doing election audits.  The Department of Justice's threat is a red flag to states that the federal government is poised to intervene if states conduct election audits.  This should be prompting Republican-led legislatures to begin doing election audits immediately and passing voter integrity laws.  The Democratic Party is obviously greatly concerned that elections in the U.S. scrutinize the eligibility of voters to cast ballots in state elections.

Arizona Lawmaker Responds to AG Garland:  "You Will Not Touch Arizona Ballots or Machines Unless You Want to Spend Time in Arizona Prison".  Earlier on Friday, the Biden Department of Justice warned state lawmakers that if they proceeded to audit fraudulent elections they will be targeted by the Biden administration.  The US Constitution specifically gives the power to the states to regulate federal elections as they see fit.  You would think the Attorney General of the United States would know this.  Following the threats by the Biden regime, former fighter pilot and Arizona state Senator Wendy Rogers warned Merrick Garland to stay in his lane.

AG Merrick Garland Announces that His DOJ Will Scrutinize Any Post-Election Audits for Evidence of Voting Law Violations!.  The DOJ totally ignored election crimes in the 2020 election.  Everywhere we turned there were crimes and corruption at every level in the process but they were ignored by our Mainstream Media, DOJ, and its FBI, and any mention of the election crimes were banned by Big Tech.  This was no small task to get all these institutions to jump on the same corrupt ship.  We uncovered this and reported on it.  Not the DOJ — they ignored it — thousands of ballots delivered to the voting location in Detroit early in the morning after the 2020 election with ballots all for Joe Biden:  [Photo]  We took this video and determined that the gang that kicked everyone out of the Atlanta voting location and then pulled ballots out from under tables, ran the ballots two and three times into the tabulation machines while no one was watching.  Unfortunately for them, the camera was on.  But to date it doesn't matter because the DOJ and FBI have ignored all this.

Antrim County Attorney DePerno Releases Bombshell Report — Claims County Voting Machines Were Remotely Logged into — Decertifies Entire Antrim Election.  Michigan Attorney Matthew DePerno released new information from his investigation into the Antrim County 2020 election.  In May DePerno broke the news that the Antrim County tabulator machines can be reopened after the election.  The machines can then run more ballots through the tabulator, print off a new tabulator tape with new ballots, and then backdate that tape to November 3rd.  On Tuesday Matt DePerno dropped another bomb that he says should disqualify the 2020 Antrim County election.  According to DePerno the Dominion Voting Machines were accessed from the outside and remotely logged into after the election.

Peacefully and proactively dealing with election fraud.  [Scroll down]  This means that, if fraud is shown, the election is invalid.  Biden is not president and every action his administration took is void as if it never happened. [...] Which, I think, leaves us with this:  If the Constitution cannot remedy acts bastardizing it, something new must be done.  As the Founding Fathers did in 1776, it may be necessary to rewrite the playbook.  That rewritten playbook, while not a new Declaration of Independence, is a tentative Pact of Secession.  This pact would be among the states whose rightful votes should have gone to Donald Trump.  These states should make it clear that fraud infringed on their citizen's right to a constitutional federal government.  If Congress does not remedy the situation, they will in unison secede.  This Pact would not literally be secession.  It would merely announce a proposed action that Congress could avoid by rectifying the 2020 election's demonstrated constitutional deficits.  If void ab initio fails, there's no blueprint to correct the 2020 election because Congress, the states, and the Supreme Court allowed an unconstitutional inauguration to occur in the first place.  Nonetheless, the theft of the highest office in the land simply cannot stand.

Arizona Audit:  Hand Recount Expected to End This Week.  Auditors in Arizona expect to soon finish their hand recount of the nearly 2.1 million ballots cast in Maricopa County in the 2020 presidential election.  "I think the counting will be done by the end of this week," former Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett, a Republican, told reporters on Tuesday [6/8/2021] at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix, where the audit is taking place.  The audit teams are shifting resources to ballot evaluation work, which includes "anything to do with the authenticity of the ballot," Bennett said.  "Are there folds in the 1.9 million ballots that came in and out by mail?  Are alignment marks on the fronts and the backs of the ballots aligning as authentic ballots should?  Is there a depression in the oval where a human hand-held device would have filled in that oval as opposed to an inkjet printer or a Xerox machine or whatever you might think," he added.

The Case for Proportional Representation.  New York's undemocratic politics help explain why anti-development policies persist in a city where considerable majorities support more housing construction.  As Hopkins notes, New York's primary process disempowers non-Democrats unwilling to register with a party they dislike.  Furthermore, primaries are often held on obscure dates and feature races between low-profile neighborhood politicians.  Hence, turnout often falls below 10 percent in New York primaries.  Low-turnout elections, in turn, encourage politicians to take narrow views of politics, cobbling together a plurality by catering to organized interest groups that can get their members to the polls.  These concessions often take the form of anti-growth politics, as candidates pander to anti-development groups with self-serving motivations such as preserving their property views and inflated house values, or groups such as organized labor that want to keep out non-union jobs.

Plaintiff says up to 20,000 'probably false ballots' [were] cast in Georgia's Fulton County.  The lead plaintiff in a case in which a judge approved an inspection of copies of mail-in ballots cast in the 2020 election in Georgia's Fulton County said there could be more fraudulent votes than the margin by which President Joe Biden won.  Garland Favorito, co-founder of the group VoterGA, told RealClearInvestigations he is fairly certain at least 10,000 absentee ballots, if not double that number, were problematic.  "We have what is almost surely major absentee-ballot fraud in Fulton County involving 10,000 to 20,000 probably false ballots," he said.  Biden won Georgia by roughly 12,000 votes, a tally affirmed in multiple recounts and certified by the state, and judges turned away legal challenges to the results.  This lingering suit's audit would not change the outcome of the contest.

Election Workers Set to Be Deposed in Georgia Ballot Case.  Several election workers in Fulton County, Georgia are scheduled to be deposed in the coming days in a lawsuit that alleges thousands of fraudulent ballots were scanned in Atlanta on Election Night in 2020.  Ruby Freeman, her daughter Wandrea Moss, Caryn Ficklin, and Keisha Dixon were served with notices to appear for depositions in the case, according to court records.  Freeman and Moss were two of the workers in the absentee ballot counting room in State Farm Arena when ballots were processed for some time on Nov. 3, 2020, with no observers, including no state election monitor.  Ruby Freeman is scheduled to be deposed on June 11.  She was advised to bring a thumb drive containing images of all communications she made between Jan. 1, 2020, and Dec. 31, 2020, regarding the presidential election, according to a court document obtained by The Epoch Times.  The communications include messages sent on cellphones, via email, on SnapChat, and over Facebook.

State Reps from Wisconsin, Alaska, Georgia and Virginia Traveling to Arizona to Review Forensic Ballot Audit Process.  Last week a group of representatives from Pennsylvania toured the Arizona facility conducting the Maricopa County audit.  According to Griselda Zetino from KTAR, today a contingent from Alaska (including David Eastman), and one from Georgia (Burt Jones and Brandon Beach) are doing the same.  Additionally, Zetino is reporting that state reps from Wisconsin and Virginia are also expected to travel to Arizona and tour the process for conducting a forensic ballot audit of the 2020 election.

Was George Gascón Elected by Fraud?  It appears that the election of Los Angeles County District Attorney, George Gascón, on November 3, 2020, was engulfed in substantial, and perhaps irrefutable, fraud.  To determine this, I applied standard statistical fraud identification tools to the election data.  In this race, Gascón, previously district attorney of San Francisco County, challenged Jackie Lacey, the incumbent.  Lacey, who held the office for the prior eight years (2012 to 2020), and is considered to have conducted her duties in a "tough-on-crime" manner. [...] I ask the reader, does it seem likely that Gascón would win 90% of precincts (156/174) and over nine times the votes in which the precinct winner has greater than 1,000 mail-in votes?  It appears District Attorney George Gascón won a fraudulent election process.  If that is true, that this election was conducted with criminal fraud, we may need a legal and investigative agency other than the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office to investigate.

Fulton County Workers at Heart of Election Scandal Slapped with Subpoenas.  Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea Shaye Moss were central to the after-hours ballot-counting operation at State Farm Arena during the 2020 election.  Now, they're finally going to face serious questioning as a part of "discovery" proceedings related to a Fulton County election lawsuit.  David Makever Alligood and Ruby Freeman were both served affidavits to give videotaped depositions.  Freeman is notorious for being suspected of election malfeasance during the 2020 election.  Among those activites were dragging out boxes of ballots from under a table after election observers were wrongfully sent home early at State Farm Arena.

What if Proof of 2020 Presidential Election Fraud Develops?  If the last month has taught us anything, today's conspiracy theory could easily be tomorrow's commonsense truth.  The speed at which the Wuhan Lab theory as the source of the Covid virus went from "thoroughly debunked" to "Viable" and "Probable" in the media was extraordinary. [...] As much damage as Covid did — and far worse, the "lockdowns" used to inflict COVID's damage — that's nothing compared to the damage another "conspiracy" has done and will do.  That, of course, is the "thoroughly debunked" notion that the election of 2020 was stolen, and that Joe Biden is in the Oval Office today because of election fraud.  But of course that's just some tin hat conspiracy theory.  We've been told that "There's no evidence of election fraud" and Trump "Lost Nearly 60 Election Fights In Court."  The latter of course is fiction.  Given that we heard similar things for the last year about the origins of Covid, the question is, what happens when proof unequivocally demonstrates that the election was indeed stolen?  The smoke for that conclusion has been around since the wee hours of November 4th.

Why a Judge Has Georgia Vote Fraud on His Mind: 'Pristine' Biden Ballots That Looked Xeroxed.  When Fulton County, Ga., poll manager Suzi Voyles sorted through a large stack of mail-in ballots last November, she noticed an alarmingly odd pattern of uniformity in the markings for Joseph R. Biden.  One after another, the absentee votes contained perfectly filled-in ovals for Biden — except that each of the darkened bubbles featured an identical white void inside them in the shape of a tiny crescent, indicating they'd been marked with toner ink instead of a pen or pencil.  Adding to suspicions, she noticed that all of the ballots were printed on different stock paper than the others she handled as part of a statewide hand recount of the razor-thin Nov. 3 presidential election.  And none was folded or creased, as she typically observed in mail-in ballots that had been removed from envelopes.  In short, the Biden votes looked like they'd been duplicated by a copying machine.

Bernie Kerik:  Next 3-4 Weeks Will Be Explosive — Will Vindicate Everything We've Been Saying — Election Was Stolen.  Former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik joined Steve Bannon on Monday morning on The War Room.  During their conversation, Kerik said there are over 17,000 "missing" ballots in Fulton County alone.  [Video clip]

Fight over discovery erupts in 2020 election fraud lawsuit in Michigan's Antrim County.  There is still life in a 2020 election fraud lawsuit in northern Michigan.  Attorneys for Antrim County and Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson are objecting to a proposed order from Matthew DePerno, the attorney for the plaintiff, filed after a judge rejected an effort last month to force a new audit of the results.  In anticipation of an appeal, 13th Circuit Court Judge Kevin Elsenheimer said it was is his understanding that all other matters had been put on hold for the time being and noted the court "will take all pending motions under advisement."  The judge ordered DePerno to submit a proposed order on the stay, but what the attorney turned in "is not accurate," Michigan Assistant Attorney General Erik Grill contended in a brief, according to the Traverse City Record-Eagle.

Ruby Freeman's Daughter Election Supervisor Wandrea Shaye Moss Is Subpoenaed for Deposition in Fulton County GA.  It's getting hot in Georgia!  One of the individuals caught on tape late on election night in Fulton County, Georgia, Wandrea Shaye Moss, has been subpoenaed for a deposition in a civil trial in Fulton County.  Who can forget Ruby, Ralph, and Ruby's daughter Wandrea Shaye?  After removing everyone from the State Farm Arena on 2020 Election night and sending them home, these three individuals and a couple of others pulled out ballots hidden under the table and began jamming them into the vote tabulation machines.  The election workers were filmed shoving stacks of ballots through the machines two and three times each.  In early December The Gateway Pundit was first to identify the culprits.  Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea were two of the individuals who pulled the hidden ballots out from under the table on Election night.

Benjamin Netanyahu Calls New Israeli Government 'Biggest Election Scam, Maybe, in History'.  Israel's new government is facing a crisis of legitimacy as a prime minister whose party won only 6% of the vote is set to take the reins of government, while the party that won the most votes is being pushed out of office and into opposition.  The crisis is exacerbated by the fact that incoming Prime Minister Naftali Bennett of the Yamina party betrayed most of his promises to his voters, including a pledge not to govern with Yair Lapid of the Yesh Atid party, or with Arab parties.

Ariz. audit completes recount of more than 60 percent of ballots.  Election auditors in Arizona are wrapping up the hand-recount of ballots as they expect their work to be complete soon.  According to the auditors, more than 60 percent of all 2020 ballots have been counted as of last Friday.  That's out of the 2.1 million ballots that were cast in Maricopa County, Arizona last November.  Reports estimate auditors have seven pallets of about 50,000 ballots each left to count, which means no more than 350,000 ballots are left to examine.  However, despite the audit being almost complete, Democrat Party officials and mainstream media are still trying to discredit or stop it.

Huge rally in Michigan for the most unexpected cause.  For me, evidence that "the narrative" isn't accurate came Saturday afternoon [6/5/2021] in the beautiful sunshine of Northern Michigan off the Lake Michigan coast as thousands of Michigan deplorables braved 90-degree temperatures and assembled to support an audit of Michigan's November election.  The event was pure "Trumpicana" as even the inflatable Trump seemed to dance to "YMCA" in the background.  Whatever his future, President Trump has come to personify powerful revolt to the entire liberal project.  He's the unquestioned actual and spiritual leader of a movement.  There's a rare emotional attachment to him.  Make no mistake: every Washington politician craves the loyalty Trump enjoys.  Methinks the giant has been roused.

Joe Manchin Will Vote Against Dem Bill To Permanently Rig Elections.  The Democrat scheme to strip states of the ability to hold their own elections is now doomed to fail thanks to Senator Joe Manchin.  Democrats cementing into place the tactics that were used to cheat their way into total control of the government is looking more and more short-lived.  In an op-ed that was published in Sunday's edition of the Charleston Gazette-Mail, the West Virginia moderate revealed that he would be voting against the Orwellian named "For The People Act".  The bill has been fraudulently marketed as legislation that would protect the voting rights of people of color.

UN, US, Facebook and Smartmatic Executives Conspired Together Before the 2020 Election and Many of Same Officials Now Trying to Stop or Derail 2020 Election Audits Taking Place.  The UN and some US entities worked before and after the 2018 and 2020 elections and many of the same players in these efforts are now trying to derail or stop 2020 election audits in the US today.  Harri Hursti, Ph.D., computer scientist, and Elizabeth Howard, Cybersecurity and Elections Counsel of the radical, Soros-funded nonprofit, the Brennan Center for Justice in Manhattan, are both experts in election cybersecurity.  In 2018 they were part of a UN initiative surrounding election cybersecurity and now they are part of efforts to derail or sabotage audits of the 2020 election, Howard in Maricopa County, Arizona, and Hursti in Windham, New Hampshire.

Pennsylvania Lawmakers Get Firsthand Look at Arizona Audit, Immediately Call for One in Their Own State.  Reporting from the floor of the Maricopa County, Arizona, forensic audit currently underway at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix on Tuesday, One America News Network's Christina Bobb announced that a delegation from Pennsylvania had just arrived.  They were scheduled to take a full tour of the audit facility the next day.  "They've expressed interest in the Arizona audit and possibly replicating this in Pennsylvania," she told viewers.  "They are getting a behind-the-scenes tour tomorrow ... They're going to get to hear from the auditors exactly what is happening."  [Video clip]

Steve Bannon:  Georgia Will Hold a Forensic Audit — Three Republican Senate Seats Are Coming Back.  Georgia Radio Host John Fredericks joined Steve Bannon on The War Room on Friday.  John Fredericks is reporting from the Georgia Republican Convention this weekend.  During the conversation, former Trump Chief Strategist Steve Bannon laid out his most recent predictions and they are explosive.  [Video clip]

Media Apoplectic as More States Consider Regional Forensic Ballot Audits, President Trump Advises Pennsylvania to Follow Arizona Model.  You can tell the level of increasing anxiety amid those in media who went all-in on the election fraud.  More and more articles are now being written and expressed as the MSM attempts to Alinsky (Isolate, Ridicule, Marginalize) the forward progress of state legislatures and grassroots patriots who are demanding a forensic review of regional election outcomes.  The uptick in media effort to marginalize and label audits as "conspiracy theory" only highlights just how far they have gone to help cover-up some of the more suspicious and transparently fraudulent outcomes.  Ballot audits in Maricopa County Arizona are ongoing.  The potential ballot audit in Atlanta (Fulton County) is pending.  A local ballot audit in Windham New Hampshire highlighted just how extensive the issues are with electronic tabulation; and into this mix President Trump supports the Pennsylvania delegation who have reviewed the Arizona effort as a model for their own potential.

Vermont Republican Governor Seeks to Give Non-Citizens Voting Rights in Local Elections.  Vermont Gov. Phil Scott (R) is asking state lawmakers to pass an elections law that would allow non-citizens across the state to vote in local municipality elections.  Scott vetoed two pieces of legislation that sought to give non-citizens the right to vote in local elections in Montpelier and Winooski, Vermont.  However, he said he is not opposed to the plan but wants state legislatures to send him a bill that would give non-citizens the right to vote, statewide, in local elections.

Democrat Non-Profits and Secret State Election Groups Met with the UN to Discuss 2020 Election Cybersecurity.  Members of some of the Democrat's most connected non-profits met with UN officials before the 2020 election.  Now the same groups are trying to derail the audits moving forward across the nation.  What were Harri Hursti, Ph.D., election cybersecurity expert and computer scientist, and Elizabeth Howard, Esq., Cybersecurity and Elections Counsel at the radical Brennan Center for Justice in Manhattan, doing when they gave a briefing on election cybersecurity to a U.N. committee of international election observers in Washington, D.C., just three days before the U.S mid-term elections in 2018?

Mike Lindell Outlines New Lawsuit Against Dominion and Smartmatic Voting Machine Companies, UPDATE Lawsuit Added.  Mike Lindell appeared on Steve Bannon's War Room podcast to outline a new lawsuit he is personally filing tomorrow against Dominion and Smartmatic, the companies who sell and operate electronic voting systems.  Additionally, according to Lindell he has irrefutable evidence that he anticipates the Supreme Court will hear in the next two months that is akin to cyber DNA testing.  Make of the interview what you will, but Mr. Lindell has a great deal of confidence that his efforts will outline evidence of voting fraud that could likely put President Trump back into office.  [Video clip]

Is Fauci a fall guy?  Sundance of The Last Refuge looks into something that also puzzled me:  why were multiple FOIA requests for the emails of Dr. Anthony Fauci all released at the same time, and why now? [...] He constructs this sequence of recent events:
  •   A once beloved Bill Gates, the primary advocate for COVID vaccines, suddenly became a target by the political left.  It was quite a shift.
  •   The White House announces their support of investigation into the origin of COVID-19.
  •   Media report on State Dept investigators who were handcuffed during their research into the COVID origination.
  •   Suddenly discussion of the "Lab Leak Theory" was permitted by those who control the platforms of speech.
  •   Media then report of Anthony Fauci gaining a lucrative book deal.
  •   Joe Biden gives a speech in Oklahoma on Tuesday; and immediately thereafter the White House announces no more public appearances for the remainder of the week.
  •   The Fauci emails are released under the auspices of a FOIA fulfillment.
He asks:" Why would the Deep State release these emails, instead of just hiding them?" [...] Having begun the panic narrative, that COVID 19 — with a mortality rate under 1% — was the worst pandemic ever, fanned by the media, the way was cleared for:
  •   The stalling of a fantastic economy that was benefiting every American voter.
  •   Deployment of mail-in ballots that can be used and manipulated to achieve fraudulent results.
  •   Controls over presidential debates to avoid a weak candidate being exposed or confronted.
  •   The deployed 'excuse' for a very visible lack of voter enthusiasm for the puppet (Biden).
In Sundance's view, Fauci is being offered up as a distraction from the larger story that a fairly bad annual flu was weaponized as a means of taking down the re-election of Donald Trump, whose term up until the lockdown was a story of tremendous economic growth and diplomatic triumphs in the Middle East, making his re-election very probable.

Our Government Is Evolving into Something Horrifying.  [Scroll down]  As 2020 unfolded, this movement worked to legitimize the need for mail-in voting by advocating measures to lock down America and continue to keep our country virtually closed as we reached November.  Their overall aim was to stuff the ballot boxes with enough mail-in ballots for the purpose of changing the electoral count on and around Election Day to ensure a Biden win.  As the illegitimate winner of the 2020 election, Joe Biden was inaugurated on January 20.  In January, a totalitarian-style regime with many of its political appointees with past or ongoing connections to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), complete with a figurehead — Joe Biden — was installed in office.  He is also compromised with his history of family associations with the CCP.  The new regime moved quickly ahead at an accelerated pace, utilizing multiple executive orders and sending a series of radical proposals for approval by a Democrat-controlled Congress.  Their objectives are to subvert the American way of life, impose upon America a Marxist agenda, and move our country rapidly from COVID to communism.

Arizona Senate Considering Expansion of Maricopa County 2020 Election Audit.  The Arizona Senate is mulling an expansion of the 2020 election audit taking place in Maricopa County.  Senators are considering hiring a California-based nonprofit to analyze ballot images to create a third set of numbers to compare with the tabulation from Dominion Voting Systems machines and the hand recount being done by Cyber Ninjas, a Florida-based firm in charge of the current audit.  If the plan is finalized, the Senate would pay $5,000.  The rest of the money would be obtained through a grant or through private funding, Ken Bennett, the former Republican secretary of state who is the Arizona Senate's liaison for the audit, told The Epoch Times.  The firm being considered is a nonprofit called Citizens' Oversight.  The firm was brought to the attention of the Senate by John Brakey, a Democrat who works for Audit USA and is working as Bennett's assistant during the audit.

How They Cheated In Pennsylvania.  We all know they cheated in the 2020 election.  And not in just one way — in multiple ways!  And not in just one state — multiple states!  [Video clip]

Some Voting Machines in PA Not Accepting Ballots.  We've heard a lot in the past six months about elections and the process of counting our votes.  Much of that has no doubt centered around the 2020 presidential elections and the massive increase of mail-in or absentee ballots.  Such an increase, in addition to other voting process changes such as ballot drop boxes, has left many in America skeptical of the fairness of our electoral system.  In fact, there is so much skepticism that it is believed the only real reason why the typically red state of Georgia now has two Democrat senators is that many Republicans felt their vote wouldn't be counted or heard and so chose not to vote altogether.  And since, then there has been a grand push by several states, including Georgia, to change election laws to make them more secure and fair in the hopes that the people will somehow regain their faith in the voting process as a whole.  However, it becomes difficult to achieve this when voting problems are still showing up in states around the nation.

Dominion 'Errors' In Yet Another County (PA).  This time the story comes out of a county in Pennsylvania, and the 'error' reported seems to conform to a pattern we know all too well.  According to local sources, Republican ballots were labeled as Democrat ballots.  Errors happen all the time, and this would be fine if the errors didn't overwhelmingly favor one party.

Epshteyn: Audits Revealing Stolen Election is the 'Biggest Political Earthquake in History'.  [Video clip]

Election Fraud Arrests Begin.  The people must have free, fair, transparent, and honest election systems they can have confidence in, or everything will collapse, and street justice will reign.  Evidence of election fraud must result in holding people accountable for their actions, or fraud is the new norm for as far as the eye can see. [...] Soon, a mountain of indisputable evidence proving massive election fraud in the 2020 elections will emerge from ongoing forensic ballot investigations in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, and other states wherein like the homecoming election, the outcomes were mathematically impossible.  To date, the best guess by forensic investigators into the 2020 elections indicate President Trump legitimately won re-election with some 80M votes to 66M votes for Biden and Harris, a 14M vote margin of victory.  This level of fraud cannot be hidden forever.

Eyes on Audit Intel.  The decision by the Supreme Court not to hear the fraud cases before the election was certified, together with their decision to declare the fraud cases moot afterwards, indicate the extent to which the establishment on both sides and the institutional powers in Washington DC are more than ready for the American people to give up.  With that in mind, it's important to have a realistic understanding of what the state audits currently underway — as well as those being contemplated — actually can achieve.  We are eagerly watching the Maricopa, Arizona, audit.  But an up-to-the-minute report indicates that of the 46 counting tables set aside for this audit, only 28 are currently staffed.  The effort needs volunteers.

OAN Reporter Christina Bobb Reports Pennsylvania Sent Delegation to AZ Today.  Christina Bobb broke this news moments ago on One America News that Pennsylvania sent a delegation out to Arizona on Tuesday.  They expressed interest in the Arizona audit and will get on-the-scene tour of the audit facility on Wednesday [6/2/2021].  [Video clip]

The Texas Voting Lie.  In Austin, Texas, where Republicans control the governor's mansion and both chambers of the legislature, House Democrats' walking out to prevent the passage of a bill with majority support is portrayed as a heroic act preserving our democracy.  The bill in question is an election-reform measure that Democrats allege is the latest instance of state-level GOP voter suppression.

Nevada Democrats Make Huge Move Against Election Integrity.  In one of my favorite stories of how the hastily adopted mail-in voting systems failed during the pandemic year of 2020, over 223,000 ballots mailed out to voters in Clark County, Nevada, were returned as undeliverable during the Democratic primary there last year due to incorrect or out-of-date addresses on the voter rolls.  That's 223,00 out of 1,325,934 ballots sent out in the state's most populous county, home to Las Vegas, after it decided to automatically send ballots to every eligible voter on the rolls for the June primary.  Not only was that 17 percent of all ballots mailed, it's also worth noting that 305,008 ballots were returned and accepted.  So that's about three ballots undeliverable for every four that counted.  The state's Democrats apparently think mail-in voting was so hitch-free in 2020 that every election from here on in ought to work like that.

Voter Fraud Is Real!  If voter fraud didn't occur and Brainless Biden received so many votes — more than Obama — where was all the celebration?  He literally would be the greatest Democrat in the modern era.  Where was the ticker-tape parade? [...] This brings us to state audits.  If you truly believe your candidate won, why use every tool in your legal briefcase to stop recounts?  This isn't logical.  Wouldn't you want the public to see Brainless Biden truly won the election?  And audits would do just that — verify the enormous quantity of votes he received.  Instead, the Liberals fight tooth-and-nail at the mere mention of fraud.  Look at their actions in Arizona, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin to name a few.  The Lefties literally do not want the votes to be recounted.  WHY?  They have to be afraid of something.  What would that something be:  The Truth.  The Liberals know the election was stolen.

Infiltrating The Election.  Hundreds of pages of emails and other documents obtained by Wisconsin Spotlight show that grant money from private left leaning groups, funded largely by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, resulted in Democrat activists infiltrating the November presidential election in Wisconsin's five largest cities.  Here's what the emails and Wisconsin Spotlight's investigation found:
  •   A former Democratic operative, Michael Spitzer-Rubenstein, served as a de facto elections administrator and had access to Green Bay's absentee ballots days before the election
  •   Spitzer-Rubenstein asked Green Bay's clerk if he and his team members could help correct or "cure" absentee ballots like they did in Milwaukee.
  •   Green Bay's clerk grew increasingly frustrated with the takeover of her department by the Democrat Mayor's staff and outside groups.
  •   Brown County Clerk Sandy Juno said the contract stipulated that Spitzer-Rubenstein would have four of the five keys to the KI Center ballroom where ballots were stored and counted.
  •   Brown County's clerk said the city of Green Bay "went rogue."
  •   Election law experts said the city illegally gave left-leaning groups authority over the election.

AZ Chairwoman Kelli Ward Provides Remarks on Memorial Day and Updates on the Maricopa County Audit, One Million Ballots Reviewed.  Arizona GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward provides remarks on Memorial Day and gives an update on the Maricopa County ballot audit.  The audit remarks begin around 01:13 of the video update.  According to Mrs. Ward the auditors are now halfway through reviewing and auditing the Maricopa County ballots.  Auditors are still estimating a late June finish.  Additionally, the Arizona legislature are considering having another company review digital copies of the ballots and give their report on the ballot results for every race in the Maricopa County ballot.  Overall, the audit is in good shape and making progress on the exact schedule expected.

AZ Secretary of State Katie Hobbs Is Out of Control on Ballot Audit.  Some areas of the country haven't given up on investigating voter fraud during the presidential election, including Arizona and Georgia.  But it's not easy, because the left is going all out to stop them.  Here in Arizona, the main opposition is coming from the Arizona Secretary of State, far left Katie Hobbs.  This woman is frightening.  She is trying to make a name for herself since she wants to run for governor in 2022.  The Arizona Senate ordered an audit of Maricopa County ballots earlier this year, taking possession of 2.1 million ballots and nearly 400 election machines and turning them over to be audited by cyber firms.  It just doesn't seem very plausible that Joe Biden won in Maricopa County, considering it's a Republican stronghold (the words of CBS) with more registered Republicans than Democrats, and considering how well Republicans performed in other races here.  As of February, there were just over 909,658 registered Republicans to 814,101 Democrats, a striking difference.

Details Emerge of Fulton County Deputies Leaving Guard Duty 20 Minutes Before Alarms Sound in Building Containing Ballots for Audit.  Details are starting to emerge about the suspicious alarms and opened doors at the building in Fulton County containing ballots awaiting audit.  According to Newsmax corespondent Emerald Robinson Fulton County deputies left the parking lot 20 minutes before the building alarm sounded.  Additionally, the plaintiff attorney, Bob Cheely, handling the election integrity lawsuit, confirms the county security lapse is a direct violation of a court order requiring the ballots to be protected and secured at all times.  Cheely will be filing two motions of contempt against the Fulton County officials for their refusal to uphold the court order requiring 24/7 security.  Apparently there are also some CCTV cameras and the plaintiffs will be asking for the footage.

Arizona Republican Governor Doug Ducey Vetoes Election Integrity Bill Passed By Arizona Legislature.  There's a particular trend pattern to identify DeceptiCons in the Republican party.  The Arizona Governor, Doug Ducey, is one easily identifiable member of that club.  The DeceptiCons support leftist goals and objectives; they are paid handsomely for their duplicity to support them; but they hide their support through parliamentarian tricks (cloture votes) and obtuse justification.

Fulton county building holding 2020 ballots was compromised.  Newsmax reporter Emerald Robinson said that the alarm went off in the Fulton County building where the ballots were kept.  The building was found wide open and unattended.  If her reporting is accurate, that is deeply concerning.  The audit has been challenged by an army of Democrat attorneys.  They sued to dismiss the lawsuit that led to the approval of the audit.  A Georgia judge granted a 30-day pause in the audit until the legal arguments could be heard in court.  The judge is considering dismissing the lawsuit requesting the audit.  And now the building is compromised.

Alarm Went Of At Secure Building Holding Fulton County Ballots For Audit — Building Found Wide Open.  The security camera footage from election night in Fulton County that shows, what appears to be tens of thousands of ballots was counted in the absence of a party or state monitors.  The video seems to show that election workers scanned the same batches of ballots repeatedly.  This caused a huge controversy at the time!  This could be a legitimate action when there's a scanning error in the batch, such as when the ballots get jammed in the scanner.  In that scenario, the workers are supposed to discard the whole batch of scans and scan the ballots again, but the video quality makes it hard to discern if that was the case in each instance.

The Editor says...
Surveillance video is no longer recorded on VHS tapes in the eight-hour mode.  It is recorded on video servers.  Good cameras are cheap now.  We should see nothing but high-definition video any more, yet there are numerous cases every year where important investigations are impeded by noisy, low-resolution, black-and-white video.  Or no video at all.

Democrat state senator in Connecticut proposes bill to force people to vote.  Connecticut state Senator Will Haskell (D) has proposed a bill that would mandate that every citizen vote.  The coercion would be enforced by threat of fines or community service.  Socialists love to espouse the ridiculous ruse that if everyone votes, democracy is somehow strengthened.  What is strengthened is the government when people paying little or no attention to the workings of government casually vote.  This is why Democrats spend such an astonishing amount of time, money, and effort in get out the vote drives.  It is why they are against any form of identification being needed to vote, why they want to give felons and illegal immigrants the vote, etc., etc.  It is also why they love mail-in ballots and any other form of effectively uncontrollable, anonymous, mass voting.  Democrats get out the vote drives in many areas, such as NBA arenas, college campuses, and inner-city wards, are already nothing more than directives to vote for Biden and Democrats, not for the bad Orange Man and the scary, evil conservatives that hate your friends, the planet and don't want to pay for your contraceptives and sex-change operations.

Sidney Powell says Trump 'can simply be reinstated'.  Attorney Sidney Powell, who is being sued by Dominion Voting Systems for spreading allegedly defamatory claims about the 2020 election, insisted on Saturday [5/29/2021] former President Donald Trump could "simply be reinstated" as president and fill the rest of President Joe Biden's term.  Powell's remarks were made at a right-wing conference in Dallas on Saturday [5/29/2021] called the "For God & Country Patriot Roundup," which also featured retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, Trump's former national security adviser who has echoed the former president's claims of widespread voter fraud in the November election, as a guest speaker.  "There are cases where elections have been overturned, but there's never been one at the presidential level, which everybody will jump to point out, that doesn't mean that it can't be done," Powell said, earning loud applause from an audience.  "It should be that he can simply be reinstated, that a new inauguration date is set."

The Editor says...
There is no mechanism described in the Constitution for the winner of a contested election to join his term "already in progress," like the weekend time-filling movie on Channel 37.  If it is proven that Biden and Harris are the beneficiaries of a stolen election, the best we could hope for is their swift impeachment.  But that would leave us with Pelosi as president, and whoever she picks (Michelle Obama / Oprah Winfrey / Valerie Jarrett / Maxine Waters) as vice-president.  Let's not go from bad to worse.  Prove the election was fraudulent, if you can, and then make sure the dozens of people responsible are sent to prison.

Arizona Senate considering another audit of Maricopa County 2020 election:  Report.  The Arizona Senate may sign a deal for another 2020 election review in Maricopa County following reports that some overseers of the audit are dissatisfied with the process.  The present audit, which includes a review of 2.1 million ballots cast in the state's November election in the county, has been underway since April 23 at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix, led by the hired firm Cyber Ninjas.  Audit liaison, former Secretary of State Ken Bennett, told a reporter with CBS5 News on Thursday that hand counters had gone through more than 800,000 ballots so far.  Organizers have said they hope to finish by the end of June.

Pennsylvania County Appoints Top Prosecutor for Dominion Voting Machine's Error That Failed to Show GOP Ballots.  A Pennsylvania county is appointing a top prosecutor to investigate a voting machine error that caused Republican ballots not to display.  The 11-member council in Luzerne County voted to investigate the odd voting machine error, which occurred in a primary election on May 18.  "County DA Sam Sanguedolce was not in attendance but said Tuesday night his office will investigate any allegations of potential criminal conduct relating to the May primary," the Times Leader reported.  "He said his predecessor, Stefanie Salavantis, created an Election Fraud Task Force that remains intact and will review anything forwarded to the office."  "Without integrity in our elections, the public cannot trust the remainder of our democratic process," Sanguedolce said.

Madison Becomes Last of Wisconsin's 5 Largest Cities to Face Election Complaint.  This capital city has become the fifth and last of Wisconsin's so-called WI-5 cities to face a formal complaint alleging violations of election law in the November presidential contest in which Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump.  Saying they are concerned about liberal groups entrenched in administration of Wisconsin elections, a crowd of about nearly 140 turned out for a "Standing Up for Voter Integrity" rally at the State Capitol.  The sponsor of the rally, the Wisconsin Voter Alliance, has led legal challenges to the third-party groups accused of infiltrating the elections in Madison and the Badger State's four other largest, most heavily Democrat cities.

Private Investigator Says AG Barr Told Him to Stop Investigating Election Fraud Claims.  A former U.S. Army Reserve lieutenant colonel and intelligence official who gained fame for claims about mishandled intelligence before the September 11 attacks, says former US Attorney General Bill Barr told him to stop his investigation into the 2020 election.  Tony Shaffer says while investigating the 2020 election, then-Attorney General Bill Bar personally called and told him to turn over the case to the FBI.  Shaffer's comments came on Friday [5/28/2021] during the One American Podcast with Chase Geiser.

AUDIT of Elections Update:  A Week's Worth of Bombshells.  Spring has sprung, and the lilacs are in bloom.  Speaking of blooming, reports of election irregularities and audits and agitated Democrats and their lickspittle media are breaking out all over.  Let's start this update with signs of panic in the Democrat-media complex, as no matter how hard they try, they will never suppress the deeply held suspicions by many Americans about the lack of integrity of the 2020 election. [...] And NOBODY believes that The Hologram received 81 million legal votes!  The ever-reliable Democrat mouthpiece, the Associated Press, has been trying very hard to squelch any notions that election fraud in 2020 and audits that might prove same are anything other than "fantasies" concocted by President Trump and his supporters, as noted [elsew]here.

Michigan Secretary of State and Dominion Corp Warn Local Officials Not to Audit any Election Results.  Providing further suspicion that something is afoot in the world of fraudulent election systems, the Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson (Democrat) and the Dominion Company (who control the ballot counting systems) are warning state officials not to conduct audits of their local results. [...] What kind of voting machine company has a warranty policy where the warranty is voided when an audit is performed on them?  Yes, one that has a lot to hide.  This comes on the heels of forensic auditors finding serious issues and discrepancies with the election ballots and Dominion tabulation machines in Antrim County.  What the evidence showed was an intentional manipulation of the ballot counting system that shifted votes from Trump to Biden, then the system was scrubbed of log-in details so the people who did the shifts would not be identified.

Georgia election official can't say how many absentee ballots were printed:  Audit attorney.  An attorney representing Georgia citizens who secured the right to review over 145,000 absentee ballots cast in Fulton County in November told the judge overseeing the case that a top county election official could not say how many absentee ballots were printed.  Plaintiff's attorney Bob Cheeley told Judge Brian Amero on Friday that Fulton County Registration Chief Ralph Jones, during a pretrial deposition, estimated the county printed 20,000 absentee ballots through a vendor in the 10 days leading up to the election.  Jones could not give the attorney a precise number.  "So I asked for the invoice, during the deposition, for those ballots. ... As of now, I don't have the invoice yet, so we still don't know if it's 20,000 or some other number," Cheeley told Amero.

Georgia Judge Postpones Fulton County Ballot Examination After Last Minute Court Filings by County Officials.  Fulton County election officials were freaked out after a judge granted the plaintiffs access to review 145,000 absentee ballots.  The concern is fraudulent and duplicated or double-counted ballots.  The final hearing to work out the details of the inspection was to take place tomorrow [5/28/2021].  However in a last minute flurry of legal filings the county filed motions to dismiss the underlying lawsuit that initiated the ballot audit and review.

2020 ballots in Fulton Co., Georgia to be rescanned.  Both sides in a 2020 election dispute in Georgia are set to meet tomorrow morning at the Fulton County ballot storage area.  That after a Georgia judge earlier ordered absentee ballots in the 2020 election be unsealed.  The ballots will be scanned anew by county officials as representatives from both sides observe.  According to The Epoch Times, "a group of voters filed a petition last year asking for a forensic inspection of mail-in ballots that were sent in for the 2020 election.

Russell Brand:  Democrats, Big Tech, Media 'Conspired' To Influence 2020 Election.  Comedian Russell Brand ripped into the Democratic Party and accused it of colluding with big tech companies to censor information and influence the 2020 election.  Brand criticized the relationship between Democrats, the media, and social media platforms on Sunday's [5/23/2021] episode of his podcast "Under The Skin" during which he interviewed investigative journalist Glenn Greenwald.  "Did the media and social media conspire together to keep information about Joe Biden and Hunter Biden's relationship with foreign energy companies out of the media?" Brand began in a clip of his podcast.  "The answer is: yes, they did."

Another Bill in Congress to Give Partisan Bureaucrats Control Over State Election Laws.  One of the false narratives constantly pushed by liberals is that the efforts of states to reform and fix vulnerabilities in their election systems are somehow examples of "voter suppression."  Nothing could be further from the truth.  Making sure that every eligible citizen is able to vote and that their vote is not lost or stolen through fraud or errors is not voter suppression — it is good governance.  The latest attempt to push this myth will occur Thursday before the House Judiciary Committee in a hearing with a title that is an exercise in deception:  "Oversight of the Voting Rights Act:  A Continuing Record of Discrimination."  Discrimination in the context of voting today is very rare; it is not a "continuing" occurrence.  Census Bureau data show that black voter registration and turnout today are on par with or exceed that of white voters in many parts of the country, and there are no disparities traceable to discriminatory behavior by states.

Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, Council Unanimously Approves Investigation into Recent Primary Election Flaws Using Dominion Voting Machines.  Officials in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, have unanimously approved the district attorney to investigate the recent primary election after on-screen ballots mislabeled Republican ballots as Democrat candidates.

One of Three Auditors Exits Windham, NH Election Audit — Law Requires a Team of Three Auditors.  The conflicted audit in Windham, New Hampshire just incurred a major blow.  One of three auditors selected to perform the audit has exited from the team.  Last night we reported on how the auditors in the Windham, New Hampshire audit all have serious conflicts due to their activities with each other and the Democrat Party. [...] It is simply shocking that one of these auditors ups and leaves, quits, and neither the Windham board of selectmen nor the NH AG and SoS have said a word!

On Election Fraud, The Media Are Repeating Their Wuhan Lab Fiasco.  [Scroll down]  As with the lab leak theory, we have been told repeatedly that there is no evidence to back it up.  We're told that court cases alleging election fraud were dismissed.  We're told, as with the Wuhan lab story, that the experts all agree that there's no truth to election fraud claims.  And we're told that anyone who suggests fraud took place in the November 2020 elections is a Trump-loving conspiracy nut.  Here's a typical headline, this one from CNN: "Arizona, Georgia audits move forward as Republicans continue to push election fraud lies."  And as with the lab leak story, the narrative being peddled by the press just happens to fit into their political bias.  The press was happy to dismiss the Wuhan lab story because President Trump was among those suggesting it.  They're happy to dismiss any claims of election fraud for the same reason.

MyPillow's Mike Lindell is turned away from Republican governors event.  The Republican Governors Association on Tuesday [5/25/2021] threw out Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow and a top Trump ally, after he showed up to its spring conference in Tennessee, he told POLITICO in an interview.  Lindell said he had flown to Nashville on Monday [5/24/2021] to attend the three-day meeting starting on Tuesday, but that only a few minutes after he collected his credential at the JW Marriott Hotel, an event coordinator in the lobby told him he was not allowed at any of the official RGA events.

A Fired Up Mike Lindell Eviscerates AZ Governor Ducey and GA Governor Kemp, Documents Their Fraud Against the Republican Base.  MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell is fired up as he walks through the events that took place in Tennessee yesterday after he was blocked from attending the Republican Governor's Association (RGA) dinner they had invited him to attend.  [Rumble Video Link]  The RGA is lying.  Arizona Governor Doug Ducey is the Chairman of the RGA.  Incredibly, the RGA contacted Lindell with the invitation to the dinner, then gave Mike Lindell the credentials to attend the dinner, and as he awaited the transport buses with the other governors he was pulled aside and told he was no longer permitted to attend.  As Lindell notes Arizona Governor Doug Ducey is the Chairman of the RGA and Georgia Governor Brian Kemp is the head of the republican election integrity unit.  However, both of them are key figures in blocking any election audit or accountability review in their states.  Something is seriously wrong.

AZ Audit Director Ken Bennett:  "We haven't received ANYTHING from them — Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Refuses to Cooperate and Answer AZ Senate".  On Tuesday afternoon, The Gateway Pundit's Jordan Conradson had a chance to speak with Arizona Audit Director Ken Bennett about the ongoing America's Audit.  This was the second day of counting after the 9-day break that was scheduled for high school graduation ceremonies in Phoenix.  The tech team WAKE TSI is no longer involved in this process and their responsibilities will transfer to StratTech, a subcontractor that has been helping with technology and involved in training since day one.  StratTech is now facilitating the counting under Cyber Ninjas, as WAKE finished their contract and chose not to continue past May 14th.

Windham New Hampshire Ballot Issues Identified in Adjacent Counties — Exact Same Ballot Issues, State Audit Needed.  In Windham, New Hampshire, folds in ballots are presumed to be the primary issue that generated disqualified ballots.  When the ballot fold runs near a blank oval space (where a vote would be registered) the ballot counting machine was counting the fold and crease as a vote.  This generates what's called "overvotes", meaning more voter selections made on the ballot than allowed.  The overvotes create disqualified ballots.  It appears many, if not all, folded ballots create overvote ballots, and those overvote ballots are disqualified.  This is why there is such a high percentage error rate between the electronic tabulation results and the hand recounts not using machines.  This outcome is also what creates the disparity in votes cast and actual voting percentages as identified in the tabulation results for specific machines.  The higher the number of overvoted ballots, ie (disqualified) ballots, through a machine, the more flawed the tabulation result as a comparison of all voter ballots through similar machines.  This is what has been identified in Windham, New Hampshire.  [Video clip]

Dominion blames 'human error' for voting machines not showing GOP ballots in Pennsylvania county.  Dominion Voting Systems, a company beset by dubious election fraud claims in the aftermath of the 2020 presidential election, said "human error" was to blame after machines in a Pennsylvania county failed to display Republican ballots.  Nicole Nollette, the executive vice president of operations at Dominion, announced the conclusion during a two-hour special meeting held by the Luzerne County volunteer election board on Monday [5/24/2021], according to the Times Leader.  This contradicts Director of Elections Bob Morgan, who said last week a "coding error" from within Dominion caused the mishap during local primary elections last Tuesday.  "Dominion deeply regrets the confusion this error caused," Nollette said.  The Board of Elections in Luzerne County, located in northeast Pennsylvania, said every vote was counted correctly, according to local outlet Fox 56, a local outlet.  But Republicans in particular raised concerns about the integrity of the election.

No One Knows Full Extent of Election Fraud.  That's Why We Track It.  In "Thanks to Kobach, Trump and conservative think tank, we know extent of voter fraud," Kansas City Star columnist Charles Hammer on May 20 wrote that The Heritage Foundation's Election Fraud Database has 1,322 proven instances of election fraud, including 17 cases from Missouri.  That, he said, is "measly" compared with the number of registered voters.  While we appreciate his drawing the public's attention to our database (now up to 1,328 cases), Hammer left out some vital information.  Significantly, he omitted the fact that, as prominently stated in its introduction, the database presents a "sampling" of election fraud cases and "is intended to highlight cases of proven fraud and the many ways in which fraud has been committed."

Arizona audit: 180K more Maricopa County ballots [have been] recounted than originally estimated.  An audit spokesperson upped the number of ballots recounted by 180,000 before work stopped more than a week ago,but then later estimated that downward to 160,000.  Randy Pullen, an audit spokesperson and former state GOP chair, said Monday that 680,000 ballots were reviewed when the recount paused on May 13.  Ken Bennett, the Senate's audit liaison, previously put the estimate at 500,000.  On Tuesday, Pullen clarified the estimate as being 660,0000 based on the new information he received.  Either way,that still leaves more than 1.4 million Maricopa County ballots to recount before the Arizona Senate's lease at Veterans Memorial Coliseum expires June 30.

A Sample of 950 Military Ballots Were Recently Audited In Georgia and All Went for Joe Biden.  In Georgia in a sample of military ballots were reviewed recently and all went for Joe Biden.  There is no way these were legit.  Yesterday [5/24/2021] John Fredricks was interviewed on the War Room with Steve Bannon.  There were many nuggets in Fredricks' interview.  Another key item discussed involved military ballots.  Fredericks said that of 950 military mail-in ballots sampled in a recent review, 100% went to Biden.

Maricopa County Forensic Auditor Notes Media and County Officials Intentionally Misleading Public About Deleted Vote Result Databases.  The media and Maricopa County officials have been claiming that voter result databases were not deleted; and they reference the ability of the auditors to recover the deleted information as proof the voter data was never deleted.  However, according to technical forensic expert Ben Cotton, the 'D' drive of the EMS Primary Server was in fact deleted.  It was only because of his extensive experience in the data forensics field that he was able to recover the deleted files; which is exactly what he said at the Arizona State Senate hearing on May 19th.

Windham, New Hampshire, Auditor Says 60% Error Rate "Way Higher Than We Expected".  The audit started because the tabulating machines (Dominion hardware and software) did not accurately count the votes from the physical ballots.  During the first small audit (recount) it was discovered that Republican votes were undercounted and Democrat candidates were overcounted.  This anomaly was discovered during a hand recount of the ballots as compared to the electronic tabulation results.  After the first set of electronic tabulation results were discovered to be inaccurate the state authorized a full forensic audit.  The full audit is ongoing; yesterday it was reported the second hand recount matched the first, which means the machine tabulation of those ballots was wrong.  The auditors wondered if folded ballots generated the problem.  The test of folded vs unfolded ballots (counted by same machine) showed a high number of errors.  The rate of error was a whopping 60%.  That could mean the tabulation machines across all of New Hampshire may have this problem.

Georgia Election Officials May Be Satisfied, but the New Audit Doesn't Belong to Them.  [Scroll down]  In short, this new audit is the result of concerns some voters had about what they say they saw at the polls.  These voters weren't satisfied with official recounts that had already occurred in Georgia, so they decided to take matters into their own hands, as is their right.  Tea Party Patriots Foundation (TPPF), headquartered in Atlanta, had filed an amicus curiae brief in support of [Garland] Favorito's lawsuit and TPPF President Jenny Beth Martin called the judge's ruling a win for election integrity Sunday [5/23/2021].

Georgia State Court Judge Authorizes Review of 145000 Absentee Ballots Counted in Fulton County.  On Friday [5/21/2021], a Georgia State Court Judge ruled that approximately 145,000 absentee ballots cast and counted in Fulton County, Georgia, must be copied and turned over for inspection to Plaintiffs in lawsuits brought in the aftermath of the outcome of the November 2020 presidential election contest in Georgia. [...] This lawsuit was separate from the ones filed in federal court by Lin Wood and Sydney Powell.  The Campaign's lawsuit being focused on allegations that tens of thousands of invalid votes had been unlawfully counted in favor of Joe Biden.  Under Georgia election laws, the procedure should have been for this lawsuit to be assigned to a Fulton County Judge, and then transferred to a judge in another county by the Presiding Judge who determined that it fit certain criteria — which it certainly did.

Sidney Powell Posts New Evidence Of Election Fraud In Georgia.  Attorney Sidney Powell released evidence of potential election fraud in Georgia as the state begins a partial audit of the 2020 elections.  In a recent Telegram post, Powell shared a video of Georgia election workers counting ballots at the State Farm Arena on election night when it was evacuated due to a water main break.  A Georgia judge ordered an audit of 145,000 mail-in ballots in Fulton County.  [Social media post]  Powell said this video may explain why more than 100,000 ballots were adjudicated in Georgia and shows how fraudulent Biden votes were created.

Images Surface Of Possible Evidence Destruction And Chinese Involvement In November 2020 Election, Fulton County, GA.  After checking the tracking number on the package above, we see the shipment (apparently 7 packages) was received in April of 2020 in Texas, shipped from China.  The question is — what was in the packages, and how did they end up in Fulton County, GA?  The subjects of all of the images in this article were found shortly after the November 3rd, 2020 general election in the trash at a Fulton County Precinct off English St, Atlanta, GA.  The Fulton County election warehouse is located at 1365 English St, Atlanta, GA.  You will see evidence which appears to show packages being shipped from China to the election facility.  You will see email evidence of mass chaos and incompetence during the Fulton County general election.  You will see possible inner and outer absentee ballot envelopes, which we believe are supposed to be retained and secured, especially during allegations of massive election fraud, appear to be thrown in the trash.

Why Are Democrats So Afraid of Election Audits?  Democrats are positively terrified of election audits that aren't completely controlled by the political establishment.  If there's a chance an audit might reveal meaningful information, you can bet Democrats (and certain weak Republicans) will stridently oppose it.  The only audits Democrats and their allies support are the ones designed to rubber-stamp previous conclusions.  The increasingly desperate attacks on the ongoing audit in Maricopa County, Arizona — particularly those intended to undermine the credibility of the auditors — show just how much the Democratic Party establishment fears the whole process.  Their entire argument is based on sarcasm, scorn, and scare quotes.  The auditors are inspecting the paper that ballots were printed on?  They must believe in a far-fetched conspiracy theory!  The auditors are checking to make sure the ballots don't have watermarks that are not supposed to be there?  They must be members of fringe online message boards!  The audit is being funded primarily by private donations?  It must be an elaborate "grift" rather than a serious fact-finding effort (not to mention they need the funds to fend off the litany of lawsuits they're facing).

Isn't it odd that all "errors" and "malfunctions" always benefit the same party?
Pennsylvania county faults 'coding error' after voting machines didn't show Republican ballots.  A Pennsylvania county faulted a "coding error" this week after Republican and nonpartisan voters were dismayed to see only Democratic ballots available as they tried to participate in a slew of local elections.  Luzerne County voters were issued a ballot that only indicated it was for the Democratic primary, regardless of their indicated party affiliation.  Many Tuesday voters left their polling places agitated, though Director of Elections Bob Morgan said the error was not the fault of the local government, but rather the blame lied with Dominion Voting Systems, a company marred by dubious election fraud claims in the wake of the 2020 presidential election.  "We gave a final product to Dominion," Morgan told PA Homepage.  "There is no evidence of any of this problem on the mail-in ballots, which were produced from that file.  We're still working with Dominion to get an explanation as to how this coding error occurred.  They were as surprised about it as we were."

New Hampshire Auditors Say Vote Discrepancies Largely Caused by Ballot Fold Effect.  Election auditors Windham, New Hampshire, are saying that some of their latest findings are "large enough to account for discrepancies" in the Nov. 3 election results for four state representative seats.  Auditors said they found "experimental confirmation that if the contest is undervoted, a fold through a vote target can create a vote."  "Something we strongly suspect at this juncture, based on various evidence, is that in some cases, fold lines are being interpreted by the scanners as valid votes," Mark Lindeman, who is part of the audit team, told WMUR.  Harri Hursti, another auditor, wrote on Twitter that testing proved folded ballots were misinterpreted by machines.  "Test decks proved that foldings across a vote targets is misinterpreted as additional phantom votes or subtracts votes due to false overvotes," he wrote in a post.

Six Months After the Election, Fulton County Says 'More Time Is Needed' to Produce Complete Chain of Custody Documents for Absentee Ballots Deposited in Drop Boxes.  Six months after the November 2020 election and after failing on two occasions to produce complete chain of custody documents for absentee ballot drop boxes, the Fulton County Registration and Elections officials advise that "more time is needed."  Fulton County's reply to The Georgia Star News came as a response to a follow-up on previously-supplied records related the transfer forms that document the critical chain of custody for absentee ballots deposited over a 41-day voting period in 37 drop boxes placed throughout Fulton County.  Although the State Election Board Emergency Rule 83-1-14-0.8-.14 passed by the State Election Board at their July 1, 2020, meeting circumvented state law, it set out requirements for a transfer form to document absentee ballots delivered by voters to drop boxes.  Such forms are required to include the date, time, location and number of ballots collected as well as the names and signatures of the two-person drop box ballot collection team.

Government Agency Believes Dominion Uses Cellular Modems Experts Say Could 'Wreak Havoc On An Election'.  The US Election Assistance Commission (EAC) believes Dominion Voting Systems machines in Michigan use "modem transmission features" and "do not match the EAC-certified system configuration," according to a letter the inspector general of the EAC sent to U.S. Congressman Bill Posey, which was obtained by National File.  A top Dominion executive reportedly testified that his machines use cellular modems, which experts previously said "make Michigan elections vulnerable."  EAC is an independent agency of the government created by the Help America Vote Act of 2002. Part of the EAC's mandate is to provide information and resources regarding election administration throughout the country.  While the EAC is critical of the use of cellular modems to transmit data, Dominion CEO John Poulos reportedly testified on December 15 that while Dominion machines are not connected to the Internet, in some places they use cellular modems to transmit results after hours.

Maricopa County Is Now [...] Intimidating the Senate and Its Auditors with Possible Lawsuit Should They Complete Their Legal and Proper Audit.  As reported previously the Arizona Maricopa County Board of Supervisors (MCBOS) are doing all they can to prevent a real audit of the results from the 2020 Election in their county.  The County now is doing the unheard of — They are intimidating the auditors and volunteers who are helping while the audit is ongoing in their county.

New "Fold Effect" Finding in New Hampshire — Could Impact Entire State Results in New Hampshire and Possibly Three Other States.  Earlier today [5/22/2021], auditors in Windham, New Hampshire started testing if "folds in ballots" impacted the vote counts in the 2020 election.  If this is true then this could impact the entire state of New Hampshire.  The recount of the votes was very close to the hand recount from November 12.  That means the voting machines are confirmed to be unreliable.

Why the American People Have Turned Against Biden.  Something remarkable is happening in America.  You can see it by looking at the forensic audits happening in Arizona, Georgia and New Hampshire.  Many more audits are surely on the way.  Americans are finally seriously questioning the results of the 2020 presidential election.  The lightbulb has gone off.  Americans are no longer afraid to say out loud that they think the election was stolen[.]  That is why the National Republican Congressional Committee just announced the greatest April fundraising haul ever.  That is why the latest Washington Examiner poll reports enthusiasm for Republican candidates in the 2022 midterm elections is ahead of enthusiasm for Democrats by double digits.  That is why the latest Democracy Corps poll of battleground states finds President Biden's approval among independents at only 34%.  Democrats win only 17% of independents in these swing states on a generic ballot.  That is why voters in Pennsylvania (a state that supposedly went to Biden) just overwhelmingly voted to dramatically limit the emergency powers of their Democratic governor.

Judge Orders Audit of 145,000 Absentee Ballots in Fulton County, Georgia.  A Georgia judge is allowing officials to audit roughly 145,000 absentee ballots cast in Fulton County in the 2020 election, attempting to ensure the integrity and security of the state's elections.  The audit will allow for the examination of signatures on the ballots to ensure that they are legitimate, according to a Georgia Star News report.  "Voter confidence in our election system is the bedrock of our republic.  Unfortunately, inconsistencies in Fulton County's November 2020 absentee ballots cast serious doubt on voters' faith in our elections," former Sen. Kelly Loeffler said in a statement.  Georgia residents have been particularly concerned about Fulton County.

New Hampshire Audit Confirms Voting Machines Results Unreliable.  Although the audit in Arizona has garnered much attention, thousands of miles away in the small town of Windham, N.H., another investigation into the 2020 election is underway.  On Election Night, Republicans swept all four of Windham's state representative seats.  One Democrat, Kristi St. Laurent, fell short by just 24 votes and requested a recount.  But during the recount, the margin between St. Laurent and the Republican candidates changed significantly.  The vote totals for all of the Republican candidates in the race increased by about 300, while St. Laurent's vote count decreased by nearly 100.  While the outcome of the race didn't change — the four Republican victories from Election Day were upheld at the recount — the change in vote totals raised serious questions for many from both parties.

'Incredible new evidence' teased as plaintiff vows appeal in rejected Michigan election fraud case.  The Michigan man behind a 2020 election fraud lawsuit in Antrim County promised "big things" ahead in the case despite a judge's dismissal.  Bill Bailey, a Central Lake Township resident, told supporters in a livestream Tuesday that "there's multiple fronts" in which he and his attorney, Matthew DePerno, plan to take the legal fight after 13th Circuit Court Judge Kevin Elsenheimer rejected an effort to force a new audit of the results.  Bailey said an appeal is "definitely" happening but noted "another option" is under consideration.  He also said there is "incredible new evidence" of fraud and predicted the judge "will see it" at some point.  "Don't be disheartened by the judge's decision today," Bailey assured his supporters.

Judge Orders Physical Review of Fulton County Ballots — Expert Witness Testified High Percentage Discrepancy in Ballot Batches.  There are approximately ten plaintiffs in an ongoing lawsuit about the election and ballot tabulation in Fulton County (Atlanta), Georgia.  The state and local officials had been denying access to the physical ballots, only permitting a review of low resolution scanned images.  However, an expert testified a disparity of approximately 21% (of those "low resolution" absentee ballot batches) from what the state reported to what the auditors were able to see.  A large number of the scanned ballots appear to have been counted twice.  The only way to really tell if any of the batches contained duplicated or photocopied ballots would be to look at the physical ballots (preferred) or to look at high-resolution images of the physical ballots.  Today [5/21/2021] a Georgia judge agreed to allow the plaintiffs to review the physical ballots in a process yet determined (future order forthcoming).  The custody of the ballots will remain under the control of the Fulton County election officials, but the auditors will be permitted access to them.  This could be significant as there are 145,000 specific Fulton County absentee ballots at issue.

Donald Trump Relays Urgent Message About 'Massive Fraud' in Arizona Election in New Interview.  Former President Donald Trump praised conservative news outlet One America News for exposing what he deems the "massive fraud" in the 2020 election, while mainstream media channels have largely ignored the critical issue.  Meanwhile, in real life, he says that he meets numerous people who are gravely concerned about the issue.  "That's all people ask me.  They say 'what's going on in Arizona?' They want to talk about the election fraud.  The weak Republicans don't want to talk about it.  The weak or stupid or RINOs [Republican in name only], call them whatever you want, and yet the Republican voter, that's what they want to hear," Trump told OAN.  "They want to hear about 2020. They want to find out, is that something that should be turned over?  When they rob a jewelry store of all the diamonds and they get caught, you have to return the diamonds.  They want to find out what's going on.  The Republican voter wants the story.  The weak Republican politician doesn't want to talk about this story because they think it's bad politically," Trump said.

PA County Reports Voting Machine Issues Affecting Republican Ballots; Dominion Releases Statement.  Voting machines in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, caused concern this week when registered Republicans and independent voters were seeing Democrat-labeled ballots on primary day.  Eyewitness News reported Tuesday that they had "received numerous calls from concerned citizens reporting issues with voting machines improperly labeling Republican ballots as Democrat."  "Because it's a primary, Democrats and Republicans or independent non-partisans, have a different ballot," explained Carl Romanelli, a judge with Luzerne County Board of Elections.  "When you got into the ballot marking devices, the header on all of the ballots indicates that it's a Democratic ballot, but then when you proceed to the actual ballot itself, it is the proper ballot for the voter's party.  And when the ballot is printed, it shows that it is in fact the proper ballot."  Bob Morgan, Director of Elections in Luzerne County, released a statement noting that the issue was caused by a "coding error."  He later emphasized that the problem was not caused by the county and that they are working with voting machine company Dominion Voting Systems to figure out what went wrong.

Sketchy Business in Windham, New Hampshire, During Forensic Audit of Election Results.  The people on the ground in Windham, New Hampshire, are doing an excellent job holding the election officials and auditors accountable to the people during this forensic ballot audit.  The audit started because the tabulating machines (Dominion hardware and software) did not accurately count the votes from the physical ballots.  During the first small audit it was discovered that Republican votes were transferred to Democrat candidates.  This anomaly was discovered during a hand recount of the ballots as compared to the electronic tabulation results.  After the first set of tabulation results were discovered to be inaccurate the state authorized a full forensic audit; however, the full audit is now being conducted under some very sketchy standards.

Video: Information Deleted From Maricopa Election Machine Has Been Recovered.  The information that was allegedly deleted from a Maricopa County election machine has been recovered, an auditor told state lawmakers on May 18.  Ben Cotton, founder of CyFIR, one of four firms working on the 2020 election audit, said at the Arizona state Capitol in Phoenix that he discovered a master file table "that clearly indicated that the database directory was deleted from that server."  "Subsequently, I've been able to recover all of those deleted files, and I have access to that data," he said.  "I have the information I need from the recovery efforts of the data."  Maricopa County responded in a May 18 tweet, "Just want to underscore that AZ Senate's @ArizonaAudit account accused Maricopa County of deleting files — which would be a crime — then a day after our technical letter explained they were just looking in the wrong place — all of a sudden 'auditors' have recovered the files."

A Georgia judge will allow Fulton County ballots to be unsealed and examined for evidence of fraud.  A Georgia judge will allow absentee ballots from the 2020 election to be unsealed to have them examined for possible fraud.  In granting the motion on Friday [5/21/2021], Henry County Superior Court Judge Brian Amero agreed to open 145,000 absentee ballots from Fulton County as part of a review into the 2020 election, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.  One of the plaintiffs requesting to do an audit of Fulton County's results is Garland Favorito, the co-founder of a group called Voters Organized for Trusted Election Results in Georgia.

Georgia Judge Decides to Unseal Absentee Ballots in Fulton County for Review.  A judge in Georgia on Friday [5/21/2021] ruled to unseal absentee ballots submitted in the 2020 presidential election.  Petitioners in an ongoing case will be able to go to where the ballots are stored in Fulton County, Henry County Superior Court Judge Brian Amero said at the conclusion of a hearing.  Amero plans to issue an order soon that will set forth protocols governing the scanning and inspection, which will be done by county workers while petitioners and their experts observe.  A group of voters filed a petition last year asking for a forensic inspection of mail-in ballots that were sent in for the 2020 election.  The petition alleged an abnormal vote increase for Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden and an abnormal reduction in President Donald Trump's tabulation, among other alleged abnormalities.

Democrats and Their Accomplices Are Worried About the Presidential Election in Arizona, But the Senate Is On the Line As Well.  The audit in Arizona may upend the 2020 Presidential election but it could reshape the US Senate as well.  Let's not forget, the audit in Arizona covers both the Presidential race and the Senate race.  In November, Democrat Kelly beat Republican McSally by 78,806 votes statewide.  In Maricopa County the total difference between candidates is about the same amount with the Democrat winning by 80,183 votes[.]

Arizona GOP Chair Kelli Ward Threatens Arrests In Arizona Election Audit.  The Arizona Republican Party Chair Kelli Ward has had it with what she sees as the obstruction in the Maricopa County, Arizona election audit and now she is threatening action.  "There have to be consequences," she said during an appearance on One America News, The Daily Mail reported.  "There could be arrests of people who are refusing to comply."

Arizona Audit Terrifies Democrats And GOP 'Establishment'.  The massive effort to suppress any news of the Maricopa County Arizona audit highlights not only the alarming extent of the leftist "Deep State," but also its greatest weakness.  An ideology built entirely on lies — and this accurately defines the underlying belief system of the left, which is Marxism — cannot be implemented honestly and openly.  It can only be advanced through the total intimidation and silencing of all opposition, along with an incessant barrage of more lies.  The mere presence of truth can deal a fatal blow to it.  The leftist Fake News crowd rarely mentions the Arizona audit, but when they do their "coverage" is venomous and disparaging.  Moreover, the audit is being condemned on a "bipartisan" basis (assuming leftist Democrats and their RINO lackeys aren't actually in the same "party") as everything from "criminal" to "an attack on the Constitution," to flatly "un-American."  Excuses and justifications for such accusations vary wildly, the only element of consistency among them being the frenzied effort to stop the audit by any means, before any factual information can be derived from it.

An election audit in New Hampshire may be the pebble that diverts the stream.  Windham, New Hampshire, a town of 14,853 people, has long been a stalwart Republican stronghold in an otherwise Democrat state.  As was the case throughout New Hampshire, it relied on AccuVote machines to collect and tally its 2020 votes.  When the election in Windham ended, Kristi St. Laurent, the Democrat candidate, had lost by only 24 votes.  With that close a margin, she naturally demanded a hand recount.  The hand recount revealed something very peculiar:  St. Laurent hadn't lost by 24 votes; she'd lost by 420 votes.  In a small election, that meant that her margin of defeat wasn't 0.005% but was, instead, 9.6%, which is a significant loss.  That same recount revealed an even greater anomaly:  Across the board, in every Windham election, Republicans had been shortchanged and Democrats had been overcounted:  [Chart]  Those kinds of numbers manifestly demanded a full recount, which is what's happening now in Windham.

Pa. Voting Machines Caught Rejecting GOP Ballots, Reports Reignite Claims Of Election Fraud.  Voting machines in Pennsylvania are found to be rejecting Republican ballots in a primary election in the state.  Election officials in Fayette County said there was a problem with machines not reading the ballots cast for Republican candidates.  "I think it's suspicious in my opinion after everything that happened with the presidential election," stated local voter Lori Lambie.  The issue was revealed during a primary election that kicked off in Fayette County on Tuesday [3/18/2021].  "I'm a Republican and I filled out my ballot... when I went to scan my ballot it spit it out," Lambie explained.  "I tried it three or four times and it kept spitting it back out."

Georgia Gubernatorial Candidate Vernon Jones Calls for Forensic Audit of Controversial 2020 Election.  Great American patriot Vernon Jones called for a comprehensive forensic audit of Georgia's controversial 2020 Election results.  Jones released a tweet Tuesday [5/18/2021] inviting all Georgians to gather with him at Liberty Plaza in Atlanta on Wednesday morning. [...] As the Republican Party continues to turn its back on their voters, smart politicians like Vernon understand there is NO FUTURE for the GOP if Democrats continue to steal election after election.

Maricopa County auditors now admit the election database was not deleted.  Here's the latest on the ongoing audit of votes in Maricopa County, Arizona:  Auditors hired by the State Senate admitted yesterday during a live-streamed hearing that the Maricopa County election database had NOT been deleted as they had earlier claimed and that it was, in fact, a case user error:  [Tweet]

Michigan Judge Dismisses Antrim County Election Case.  A Michigan judge on Tuesday [5/18/2021] threw out a case challenging the 2020 election in Antrim County.  13th Circuit Court Judge Kevin Elsenheimer, a Republican nominee, ruled that plaintiff William Bailey, a resident of Antrim County, had received the relief he sought after he filed the lawsuit last year following the election.  Bailey was seeking an independent audit of Antrim County's election but Elsenheimer decided that the February risk-limiting audit conducted by county clerks, who reviewed a random sample of some 18,000 ballots, was sufficient under state law.  "There is no right either in the constitutional section or the statue for the independent audit that Mr. Bailey seeks," Elsenheimer told the court.

Propaganda War, Maricopa Board of Supervisors Leaks Senate Letter to Media Before Sending [it] to [the] Arizona Senate.  Earlier today [5/17/2021] Arizona GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward noted the Maricopa Board of Supervisors (BoS) was engaging in a propaganda war against the people of Arizona and the State Senate.  It didn't take long for evidence to surface.  The Board of Supervisors [sent] the media a copy of the 13-page letter they claim to have sent to the Arizona Senate.  However, AZ Senate President Karen Fann has never even see the letter.  The BoS sent the letter to the media before they sent it to the AZ Senate.  Yeah, propaganda.

Six Months After 2020 Election, Fulton County, Georgia Is Still Missing Legally Required Chain of Custody Documentation on Nearly 19,000 Ballots.  Six months after the 2020 Election, the legally required chain of custody documentation for over 18,000 ballots is still missing in Fulton County (Atlanta) Georgia.  The related ballots are effectively illegitimate without the legally required documentation.  We've reported for months that the chain of custody documentation in the state of Georgia for absentee ballots is missing for hundreds of thousands of ballots (most likely all for Biden).  Biden was awarded the state of Georgia by the likes of Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and his sidekick, Gabe Sterling, with a winning margin of roughly 10,000 ballots.  They certified the state's results with this legally required documentation missing.

Group of former Trump staffers sues Ohio county over Dominion Voting Systems equipment.  A nonprofit group run by former Trump administration and campaign staffers on Tuesday filed a lawsuit against the Stark County, Ohio Board of Elections regarding Dominion Voting Systems equipment.  The Look Ahead America lawsuit alleges the election board violated open meetings laws when members decided behind closed doors to purchase the Dominion equipment.  The election technology company has frequently been at the center of controversy related to allegations of widespread voting irregularities in the 2020 elections.  Dominion has aggressively fought back against such allegations, including filing multibillion dollar defamation suits against those making such allegations.

Soros kicked in $2M to elect Maricopa County sheriff now stonewalling election audit.  More than four years before Maricopa County Sheriff Paul Penzone used his law enforcement credibility to resist subpoenas in the Arizona Senate audit of the county's general election, he was running for the office he now holds.  Crucial to the Democrat's victory over incumbent Republican Joe Arpaio:  $2 million from progressive megadonor George Soros.  It was the largest single donation Soros made in a local race in the 2016 election cycle, according to a Politico report at the time.  Apple co-founder Steve Jobs' widow, Laurene Powell Jobs, kicked in another $250,000 to the pro-Penzone effort.

An Election Heist Too Big to Fail.  A majority of the American people didn't buy the lie in November, and they don't buy the lie now, and once again, the same liars who pushed the Russia and Ukraine hoaxes are angry that Americans won't simply accept the lies they are fed.  Right now, Maricopa County, Arizona, is conducting an audit of its 2020 vote, and county officials have already admitted that an outside vendor illegally operated the election for them.  Michigan election officials likely broke state law by manually disabling the scanned image function for ballots, and election attorney Matthew DePerno alleges that modems were connected to Michigan voting equipment, an election violation that NBC News reports would render the election "no longer federally certified." After revelations that Facebook and other Big Tech players who had no business interfering in local election precincts paid government election offices in battleground states to become "turnout machines for Biden," the state of Wisconsin has finally authorized an audit of the election.  And an election audit in Windham, New Hampshire shows "ample evidence that voting machines favored Democrats, are not reliable, and cannot be trusted."

Maricopa County flames Arizona election audit as farce run by incompetent contractors.  A day before Arizona Senate President Karen Fann's special meeting on the Maricopa County election audit, county officials tried to portray the Republican leader's effort as amateurish at best.  The Board of Supervisors came out swinging Monday in their own special meeting responding to Fann's allegations that contractors found significant irregularities as well as missing data in the ongoing audit.  Maricopa County's Twitter feed joined the fray, sharing portions from a formal letter signed by the five supervisors, Recorder Stephen Richer and Sheriff Paul Penzone, responding to Fann's May 12 letter.  The Senate president was not happy to learn about the letter from a reporter who had an early print copy.

New GOP conference chair Elise Stefanik says the Justice Department is trying to block the Arizona election audit.  Rep. Elise Stefanik, the House Republicans' new GOP conference chair, said the Justice Department is trying to block the Arizona election audit, as allies of former President Donald Trump pour millions into the recount.  'The Biden Department of Justice is trying to block that audit.  That is unconstitutional, from my perspective,' Stefanik told Maria Bartiromo on Fox News' Sunday Morning Futures.  'Our states, constitutionally, are responsible for writing their state's elections law.'  Stefanik's comments come as ABC News reported how key Trump figures are backing the controversial audit, with former White House strategist Steve Bannon giving it publicity on his video podcast and former Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne aiming to raise $2.8 million to go toward the effort.

Deleted Data From Maricopa County Voting Machines — RECOVERED!  You all know that the databases from the voting machines used in the Maricopa Audit were deleted right before they were turned to the auditors for the audit.  Well, those databases can be recovered!  Firstly, Maricopa County announced the shocking news about deleted databases on Twitter. [...] The Democrats are notorious for deleting crucial data at the last minute.  We can mention Hillary here.  However, the best news is that the Maricopa Arizona Audit tweet tells us that the deleted files have been recovered thanks to the forensic IT teams.

GOP & Dem Senators Team Up for Alarming Attack on Election Integrity.  A bi-partisan coalition of Democratic and Republican senators are joining up for a trojan horse attack on election integrity.  Senator Joe Manchin, a Democratic senator from West Virginia, and Lisa Murkowski, a Republican senator from Alaska, seek to re-authorize the Voting Rights Act.  It may seem innocuous enough, but the amendment would restore the politicized Department of Justice's authority to block states seeking to make changes to election laws.

Trump Antagonist Opposes Arizona Election Audit as Justice Department Official.  A foe of former President Donald Trump is leading the Biden Justice Department's push to discredit or halt an election audit in Arizona's largest county — an issue that is heating up this week.  Pamela S. Karlan, principal deputy assistant attorney general for the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division, warned the leader of the Arizona state Senate that the audit of Maricopa County's election results in November could run afoul of federal law regarding security of voter information and voter intimidation.  President Joe Biden, who appointed Karlan, narrowly defeated Trump in Arizona, where Maricopa County was a crucial battleground.  The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, which governs the county of over 4 million, is scheduled to meet Monday to discuss the issue.  The Republican-controlled state Senate has asked county officials to address these matters at a hearing Tuesday.

Michigan Voter Fraud Atty.  Matt DePerno's Office Broken Into — Then VFW Hall Cancels DePerno Presser After Threats!.  Matthew DePerno is the brave lawyer representing Bill Bailey, the plaintiff in the Antrim County, MI voter fraud case.  For several months, Erik Grill, the attorney for Michigan's dishonest Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, has been pushing very hard to dismiss Bill Bailey's voter fraud case against Antrim County that she was added to as a defendant by Michigan's radical, far-left Attorney General Dana Nessel.  DePerno has received multiple threats over his fight to expose voter fraud in Antrim County, Michigan where over 5,000 votes were flipped from Trump to Biden in the November election in a solidly RED county.

NEW HAMPSHIRE Forensic Election Audit Update:  Asst.  AG Seen Walking Toward Table Covered With "Secured" Ballots At 11:15 PM Before Camera Footage Went Out For An Hour.  On February 11, the Gateway Pundit reported about a November hand recount in the Rockingham District 7 NH House Race in Windham, New Hampshire, that found that the voting machines shorted EVERY REPUBLICAN by roughly 300 votes.  Shortly after their report, the New Hampshire state senate voted 24-0 to force the state to perform an audit of the Windham, New Hampshire state representative races on November 3, 2020.

I Assume "The Windham Scandal" Dominion Voting Machines Were Tested?  Not since a bus with 19 out-of-state AmeriCorps workers voted in Deerfield, NH from a fake address on a fake road have we seen such a case of potential voter fraud as "The Windham Scandal."  Let's start with the fact that Dominion and Diebold are from the same coven.  The Town of Windham used Dominion machines to count paper ballots and upon a believable hand recount, it was confirmed each Republican was machine-cheated out of roughly 300 votes.  You would think this would have been solved by the Dominion machine company, the Secretary of State, the Elections Unit of the AG's Office, or the laughable Ballot Law Commission.  Nope.  Just like every other state that used machines that alter ballot counts in favor of one political party over another — here we are.

The State Of Wisconsin Authorized An Audit Of The 2020 Election.  In the 2020 presidential election, the state of Wisconsin faced a lot of "controversy."  Social media users have been sharing posts claiming that during the night of Nov. 3 to Nov. 4 there were vote dumps of hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots only for Democrat Joe Biden in Wisconsin[.]  They faced a lot of other voter fraud allegations.  There was a claim that 140,000 ballots for Biden were found in Wisconsin on the night of Nov. 3 to Nov. 4.  President Donald Trump and his campaign were also claiming that there are too many "irregularities" with Wisconsin's presidential election ballots to trust the outcome!  Left-wing media "debunked these stories" but many left wondering why there was no audit because many Americans still think that there was some sort of voter fraud there.

Dominion Refuses to Hand Over Ballot Tabulator Passwords to Arizona Audit, Worries It Would Cause 'Irreparable Damage' to the Company.  It's rather odd that we are constantly reassured that every aspect of the 2020 election was entirely safe, secure and kosher and yet the ongoing election audit process in Arizona's Maricopa County seems to have been marred with confounding setbacks at every turn.  Are [...] they trying to validate claims that the election was stolen?  Because this is how you validate claims that the election was stolen.  The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors has been battling with the Arizona state Senate since last year to prevent a forensic audit of November's election, which was hotly contested by supporters of former President Donald Trump, the incumbent in what will no doubt go down as one of our most controversial elections.  Maricopa, which is the most populous county in the state, was home to some of the most high-profile accusations of election irregularities in the fallout of the general election.

Election audit in small New Hampshire town could have implications for 2020 results statewide.  An audit team sent to conduct a forensic examination of the 2020 election results in Windham, N.H. started the process off well enough on Tuesday.  But by Wednesday, they hit a major snag:  The live stream cameras that had been broadcasting the audit room around the clock went offline for close to 90 minutes, potentially obscuring any problematic intervention.  The team decided Thursday morning [5/13/2021] to reinspect the ballot machines on camera in an attempt to maintain observers' faith in their process.  They needed to determine whether the machines had been tampered with over night when the cameras mysteriously went down.  With the country focused on the election audit in Maricopa County, Ariz. and early headlines about election night troubles centered on cities in Georgia, Pennsylvania and Michigan, it comes as a small surprise that the idyllic New England town of Windham — where Republicans ultimately won each of the races now being inspected — also now finds itself under scrutiny for possible election night machine malfunctions and numbers that just don't add up.

Trump Releases Statement on 'Deleted Database' and Irregularities Uncovered in Maricopa Election Audit.  President Trump on Thursday [5/13/2021] released a new statement on the 'deleted database' and voting irregularities uncovered in the Maricopa election audit.  Wednesday afternoon, it was discovered that "the entire database" for the 2020 General election in Maricopa, showing the "Results Tally and Reporting," has been deleted!  Maricopa County Supervisor Chairman Jack Sellers received a letter from Arizona Senate President Karen Fann demanding answers:  "We have recently discovered that the entire 'Database' directory from the D drive of the machine 'EMSPrimary' has been deleted.  This removes election related details that appear to have been covered by the subpoena. [...]"

Dominion Voting Systems Releases Statement — Slams Arizona Forensic Audit and States Company WILL NOT Release Passwords to Maricopa Voting Machines.  Dominion Voting Systems released a very revealing statement on Thursday [5/13/2021].  The Denver-based company responded to the Arizona Senate's demand for passwords to ballot tabulators.  Back on November 30, 2020, Maricopa County elections witness Jan Bryant testified before the Arizona legislature.  Jan said back on November 30, 2020, that Maricopa County officials DID NOT RUN THE ELECTION!  Two Dominion employees in the audit center ran the election.  This explains why Maricopa County officials do not have Admin passwords or access to the Dominion voting machines.  They never had them!

Dominion, Maricopa County Rebuff Arizona Senate's Attempt to Get Election Machine Passwords.  Dominion Voting Systems and Maricopa County officials are refusing to hand over passwords for election machines to auditors in Arizona.  Dominion said in a statement to news outlets on Thursday that it would comply with the audit, but Cyber Ninjas, the firm hired by the Arizona Senate to conduct it along with three other companies, is not accredited by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission.  "Releasing Dominion's intellectual property to an unaccredited, biased, and plainly unreliable actor such as Cyber Ninjas would be reckless, causing irreparable damage to the commercial interests of the company and the election security interests of the country," Dominion said.  "No company should be compelled to participate in such an irresponsible act."

Dominion Voting Systems calls Maricopa election audit an 'irresponsible act'.  Dominion Voting Systems released a statement Thursday calling the audit of the 2020 election in Arizona's Maricopa County an "irresponsible act" after Senate President Karen Fann questioned whether someone deleted a main database from the Election Management System last month.  "Dominion voluntarily provides access to voting machine equipment and information to auditors who have been accredited by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission.  We happily did so with the independent EAC-accredited providers that Maricopa County hired for system auditing earlier this year," the company wrote in a statement obtained by 12 News reporter Brahm Resnik, one day after Fann raised questions with the Maricopa County Elections Department.  Fann alleged the Senate-commissioned auditing firm Cyber Ninjas discovered an "entire 'Database' directory from the D drive of the machine 'EMSPrimary' has been deleted," claiming the missing directory is covered by the Senate's subpoena, which allows the group to seize elections materials for the audit.

Arizona GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward Provides Update on Maricopa County Ballot Audit.  The Arizona Senate raised the stakes within a stinging rebuke to Maricopa County officials on handling of 2020 election with allegations of serious errors that further question the 2020 election results.  AZ GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward gives an update:  [Video clip]  Additionally, in a very interesting development, there are now questions about whether the Maricopa County internal EMS database was deleted, or whether it was always connected to an external database and that is what the Board of Supervisors is really trying to hide.  The Maricopa Board of Supervisors has called for another emergency hearing today at 4:00 pm to get legal advice after the Arizona Senate accused county officials of intentional misconduct and violations of the Senate subpoena that carried a judicially supported court order.

Interesting Developments in Maricopa, Arizona, Ballot Audit — State Senate Asks County Officials to Testify About Deleted Files, Significant Irregularities and Tabulation Machine Manipulation.  A few rather interesting developments in the Maricopa County, Arizona, ballot audit might begin to paint a picture of what possibly took place. [...] What are the odds the 2020 Democrat Presidential Primary Election file created 3/25/2020 would be the exact same size as the audited 2/3/2021 General election file?
    Pres Primary file created 3/25/2020 8,388,608 bytes
    General Election file created 2/3/2021 8,388,608 bytes
Notice the date this General Election file was created corresponds with the Maricopa Board of Supervisors being under pressure and holding a BOS vote on whether to audit the Maricopa County ballot results in an attempt to stop further public inquiry into potential misconduct. [...] Could it be that Maricopa County ballots (files) from the 2020 primary were used in the electronic tabulation machines as files to enhance the 2021 general election?  If so, that would imply this strategy to manipulate the tabulation machines was in place for quite a long time prior to the November 2020 election.

Who's really in charge in America?  As for the public at large, polls show that many ordinary Americans continue to question the results of the 2020 election — despite being ordered not to by the corporate media.  According to Rasmussen Reports, "voters are not letting go of their belief that the 2020 presidential election was a fraud-filled nightmare."  By a margin of 51% to 44%, voters said it is "likely" that cheating affected the outcome.  That included 74% of Republicans and 30% of Democrats.  The corporate media and Democrat politicians claim that cheating rarely happens and that there is no evidence of "widespread" voter fraud.  Yet due to the "winner take all" Electoral College voting system, "widespread" cheating would not have been necessary.  As journalists Jonathan Allen and Amie Parnes claim in their new book, Lucky:  How Joe Biden Barely Won the Presidency, Biden only won the election with a slim cumulative margin of about 50,000 votes in four key swing states.

Maricopa County Elections Officials Deleted Entire Database from Voting Machines — Including "All Election Information" from Main Database.  Last week, the Gateway Pundit reported about the emergency meeting that was called by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, after the County was reportedly unable to provide passwords to the auditors performing an audit of the county's 2020 Election results.  They also did not provide access to the routers which were requested in the audit as well.  This afternoon [5/12/2021], it was discovered that "the entire database" for the 2020 General election, showing the "Results Tally and Reporting," has been deleted!

How about a 'cabal' for people who want to restore our country?  We should never forget how we felt in the days after November 3, 2020.  Donald Trump's sizeable Election Night lead mysteriously disappeared while we slept, and then...silence.  A surreal quiet followed in the days after the election.  There was little of the usual back-and-forth of the talking heads, no real argument about whether there had been fraud — just an eerie quiet that pervaded the political class, Silicon Valley, and corporate America.  Nothing to see here!  The most secure election in U.S. history!  Then in February 2021, Molly Ball wrote in Time magazine what we had surmised:  we had been witness to election theft.  All the actors had a part to play.  In August, Hillary publicly set the stage by cautioning that Joe Biden should not concede on Election Night, that it might take days for things to play out.  Social media did their part by quashing dissent, declaring that claims of fraud were misinformation.  Corporate America congratulated the new president.  The Supreme Court inexplicably saw no reason to weigh in on the matter.

Arizona's Maricopa County Deleted Entire Databases Prior To Turning Over Equipment To Audit.  Maricopa County deleted entire databases prior to turning over election equipment to the AZ Senate for the forensic audit now occurring.  The Senate President Karen Fann today sent a letter to the County Election's Board for an explanation. [...] Former Overstock.com CEO Patrick Byrne asked the following questions on his Telegram channel:  ["]Maricopa County purposefully deleted a directory full of election databases related to the past 2020 election cycle ~10 days before the election equipment was delivered to the @arizonaaudit.  This is destruction of evidence and at least, contempt.  Why did security seals arrive cut and why were they placed at the bottom of the boxes?  Why were security ballot bags not used by the County?  Is this the Counties customary practice for storing ballots?["]

Mollie Hemingway Is Writing The 2020 Election Book The Media Don't Want You To Read.  If questioning the results of a presidential election were a crime, as many have asserted in the wake of the controversial 2020 election and its aftermath, nearly the entire Democratic Party and media establishment would have been incarcerated for their rhetoric following the 2016 election.  In fact, the last time they accepted the legitimacy of a presidential election they lost was in 1988. [...] Not only did corporate media not condemn leading Democrats' refusal to accept the results of the 2016 election, the media were also super spreaders of wild conspiracy theories about how Trump and Russia colluded to steal the election from Clinton.  They dutifully regurgitated false leaks from corrupt intelligence officials suggesting that Trump and his staff had committed treason.  They ran stories suggesting that Republicans who didn't support their conspiracy theory were insufficiently loyal to the country.  Some even suggested Russia may have hacked voting machines and vote totals in a bid to steal the election from Clinton.  It was all nonsense.

Arizona Sec. of State Raises 'Red Flag' Over Wi-Fi Router Connected to Election Audit Servers.  Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs is sounding alarms over a Wi-Fi router that her staff observed at the Maricopa County election audit, which she argues could pose a threat to the integrity of the audit.  "There's no way to ensure that ballot images, vote counts, & perhaps voter data weren't connected to external networks or the internet," Hobbs tweeted. [...] The Arizona State Senate called an emergency session on Friday to issue a warning to stalling Maricopa County election officials that they must provide missing passwords to voting machines that they claim they 'do not have,' and also the withheld routers that obstructing officials claim could 'allow access to sensitive law enforcement data.'

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey signs law to purge voters from permanent early voting list.  Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey signed a bill Tuesday which will remove the word "permanent" from the state's permanent early voting list (PEVL), a method that was heavily used by voters in the 2020 election.  He signed the controversial bill, SB 1485, less than an hour after the Arizona Senate passed it 16-14, along party lines.  It also comes as auditors are at work inspecting Maricopa County's 2.1 million 2020 ballots under a Senate-ordered audit.  Arizona joins other Republican-led states that have introduced, passed and signed into law restrictive voting legislation.  There are 361 bills in 47 states that introduce restrictive provisions.

Election integrity:  Never, ever stop speaking out.  One of the first liberties that the communists always attack is to eliminate the free speech of the people.  This is the way they control people's lives to force them to become subjects of an iron-fisted, tyrannical Marxist government.  Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran are prime examples of countries that continue to crush freedom of speech in their demonic quest to keep people in slavery to the Marxist state.  There have been many incidences over the last several months where Americans have been ostracized and persecuted for exercising their First Amendment right of free speech.  Recently, a New Jersey police officer was discharged from her position for posting on Facebook that the BLM rioters are terrorists.  A Hollywood business executive lost his job for making a negative comment about BLM.  The list goes on.  At the same time, BLM and Antifa have looted, burned, assaulted, and killed with impunity, encouraged by the Marxists in Congress and those across this country.

Appeals Court:  Federal Law Gives Right to Inspect Non-Citizen Voting.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) is marking its third win in the last few years on protecting the right to inspect state voter rolls for non-citizen registrations and voting.  The Fourth Circuit federal appeals court on Monday ruled in favor of PILF in its lawsuit against the North Carolina State Board of Elections, vacating a lower court's decision blocking the inspection of the state's voter rolls for non-citizen registrations and voting.  "North Carolina had tried to prevent the public from inspecting records related to noncitizens registering and voting in our elections," PILF President J. Christian Adams said in a statement.

President Trump Weighs in on Michigan Election Fraud Case After Monday's Hearing.  Michigan Attorney Matthew DePerno was back in court on Monday afternoon [5/10/2021].  Attorney Matthew DePerno filed his latest findings in the Circuit Court for Antrim County on Friday.  DePerno told the court on Monday that he has proof now of the voter fraud and requested the court to allow him to broaden his investigation.  Deperno's findings he presented today in court were absolutely shocking!

13 Percent of Maricopa County Ballots Counted in Audit So Far:  Official.  About 13 percent of the nearly 2.1 million ballots cast in Maricopa County, Arizona in the 2020 election have been counted in an ongoing election audit, an official said Monday [5/10/2021].  About 275,000 ballots have been reviewed so far by workers hired by companies tapped by the Arizona Senate, former Republican Secretary of State Ken Bennett told reporters at Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum.  The audit started on April 23.  Workers take off Sundays.  That means workers have processed about 20,000 ballots a day.  The firms, led by Florida-based Cyber Ninjas, are also inspecting machines used in the 2020 election.

Direct Evidence of Intentional Dominion Ballot Counting and Tabulation Fraud Submitted to Court in Michigan Following Forensic Audit of Antrim County Ballot Counting Systems.  This appears to be a rather big deal.  In the Antrim County, Michigan lawsuit, the lawyer for plaintiff William Bailey has just submitted direct evidence of ballot counting manipulation within the electronic ballot counting system.  Attorney Matthew DePerno has submitted the results of a forensic audit showing how votes were manipulated in the county tabulation system.

Maricopa County Attorney Claims They Can't Provide Routers and Passwords to Auditors — Here's Why This Is Questionable.  [Scroll down]  The first bone of contention is in the first paragraph of the above response letter where the County claims:  ["]delivering routers, or "virtual images" of routers, posed a significant security risk to law enforcement data utilized by the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office as well as numerous federal agencies.  We had previously believed that the risk would be eliminated by redacting the law enforcement data on the routers and not producing it".["]  This response is very questionable because based on our discussion with experts, routers only show the traffic going between entities.  Routers record date and time stamps of traffic flow to/from entities and these timestamps are by the second and are not editable.  Based on this response the County doesn't want the auditors to see where data was transferred to and from related to the 2020 Election.

US Census Bureau Confirms Huge Conflict in Total Number of Voters in 2020 Election.  The results of the 2020 Election are again not supported by evidence.  This time the data reported by the Census Bureau conflicts with the election results.  According to the US Census Bureau's results from the 2020 Census, their are obvious discrepancies with the results of the 2020 Election. [...] We now have multiple data markers that provide evidence the election results are not reasonable.

Voter Suppression?  Democrats [are] Flat-Out Wrong.  Census Data Gives Real Story About US Elections.  There is no suppression going on of anyone's votes anywhere in the country.  Anyone who says otherwise is just making it up.  The Census Bureau's recent release of its 2020 election survey of voters clearly demonstrates that those who have been claiming, without justification or evidence, that we have been experiencing a wave of so-called voter suppression have a lot of explaining to do.  Among those making such claims:  Vice President Kamala Harris, Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta, U.S. Justice Department nominee Kristen Clarke, former Attorney General Eric Holder, Stacey Abrams, and a host of leaders of left-wing organizations like the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights and the NAACP, among others.  Instead, the Census Bureau reports that the turnout in last year's election was 66.8% — just short of the record turnout of 67.7% of voting-age citizens for the 1992 election.  It beat the turnout in President Barack Obama's first election, which was reported as 63.6% by the bureau.

Here's How You Know Democrats Rigged and Stole the 2020 Election.  [Scroll down]  Here are the questions I want answered.
  •   If Democrats didn't rig and steal the election, why are they so afraid of forensic audits in key battleground states, specifically the current audit in Arizona?
  •   When Trump was an 8-to-1 landslide favorite with bettors around the world late on election night and clearly headed toward a landslide electoral victory, why did five states suddenly announce they would pause counting for the night?  And how come Biden was suddenly ahead by morning?
  •   How come Michigan apparently had a dump of 149,772 votes at 6:31 a.m. on Nov. 4, 96% of which went to Biden?
  •   How did Wisconsin count 149,520 votes for Biden from 3:26 to 3:44 a.m. on Nov. 4?
  •   How come Philadelphia vote counters were so desperate to keep witnesses out of the counting room?  Why did they refuse entry to witnesses (to Republicans) until those witnesses had a court order in hand?
  •   Why were the windows in a vote-counting location in Detroit covered with cardboard so nobody (no Republican) could see inside?
  •   There are videotapes filmed in Detroit of vans pulling up in the middle of the night with what obviously look like boxes of ballots.  In Atlanta, there are videotapes that clearly show ballot containers appearing at a vote-counting location after a fake water main break was used to force all GOP witnesses out of the counting room.  Why can't we discuss these videotapes?
  •   How come Twitter banned me for life over mentioning these videotapes?
  •   How come the Arizona Senate's liaison for the vote audit says Maricopa County hasn't complied with the subpoena by turning over passwords to Dominion voting machines?
  •   How come the Biden DOJ suddenly wants to stop the Arizona audit?

Now a Second Forensic Audit is Being Requested, As Fate of Election Lawsuit in Michigan Hangs in Balance.  As Arizona's forensic audit runs into massive resistance in the courts and from the Department of Justice, another forensic audit is being requested as a lawsuit hangs in the balance in the State of Michigan.  The fate of the one of the last election lawsuits in the country is set to be decided in court on Monday morning [5/10/2021].  "A Monday hearing will determine the fate of one of the last active lawsuits challenging the validity of the 2020 election," the Traverse Eagle local publication reported.  "A 13th Circuit Court judge is scheduled to hear arguments on a defense request to dismiss an Antrim County election-related lawsuit — a move opposed by the plaintiff who, court records show, is instead seeking to expand the case."  "The case in Antrim County is among the few yet to be adjudicated, records show," the report continued.

Maricopa County Elections Witness Testifies that Dominion Ran Entire Election — County Officials and Observers Never Had Access or Passwords!  Back on November 30, 2020, Maricopa County elections witness Jan Bryant testified before the Arizona legislature.  Jan has a strong project management background.  She could not believe what she witnessed during the 2020 election in Maricopa County, Arizona.  Jan said back on November 30, 2020, that Maricopa County officials DID NOT RUN THE ELECTION!  Dominion employees John and Bruce did.  Jan's testimony might explain why Maricopa County officials do not have Admin passwords or access to the Dominion voting machines.

Chris Wallace Pushes [a] Republican to Renounce Claim of 'Stolen' Election, Gets Stunning Response.  Fox News' Chris Wallace tried to hold a struggle session on Sunday with a Republican Congressman who objected to the 2020 election results.  The results must have been disappointing.  Rep. Jim Banks not only didn't fall for it, but he threw the premise back in Wallace's face. [...] Banks was one of 147 Republicans who objected to the 2020 election results for a variety of reasons.  Whether or not the election was "stolen" is impossible to definitively say, because dozens of the court cases brought to dispute the results were not rejected on evidentiary grounds, but on purported 'lack of standing.'  It is also simply a fact that a number of the changes to election laws in swing states were unconstitutional, since they did not pass through the state legislatures.  In addition, election integrity measures in states like Georgia, Florida and Texas have brought out a cacophony of complaints; not just by the Democratic Party, but by its numerous corporate sponsors.  Furthermore, the Democratic Party has fought any forensic audits of the election results tooth-and-nail.

Newt Gingrich:  In My Mind "There Was No Question" all of the Close Battleground States Were Stolen in 2020 Election.  Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich joined Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures this morning.  During their conversation, Newt made a very bold statement that will upset Jake Tapper, CNN and the far-left tech giants telling the FOX News host the election was stolen in several swing states. [...] The tide truly is turning when Newt can go on FOX News and not be lectured for making such a bold and honest statement.

Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Holds Emergency Meeting After AZ Senate Threatens Legal Action for Not Providing Passwords and Routers.  The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors held an emergency meeting yesterday after the County was reportedly unable to provide passwords to the auditors performing an audit of the county's 2020 Election results.  They also did not provide access to the routers which were requested in the audit as well.  Yesterday [5/7/2021] the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors held an emergency meeting to discuss their inability to provide routers and passwords to the auditors of the county's 2020 Election results.

Grandpa Knew Best.  If you asked any sentient person what would happen if you gave millions of dollars to counties run by Democrats in battleground states in exchange for turning over to your left-wing designees the right to control election procedures and counting of ballots (in contravention of the constitutions of the affected states and the U.S. Constitution, which places the responsibility for setting election rules with state legislatures), they'd agree that the likelihood that the process would be corrupted was great.  And as evidence slowly surfaces of the consequences of the Zuckerberg Foundation's selective grants and the conditions of those grants, it seems undeniable that there was massive corruption.  The Election Wizard made a startling claim this week.  In preparing the U.S. Census, the government collects data on citizens who self-report having voted in presidential elections.  The latest census report reveals a starling anomaly:  Four million fewer people reported having voted in the 2020 presidential election than the official tally shows.

If There's Nothing to Hide, Why Are Democrats Freaking Out about the Arizona Audit?  If you have been keeping an eye on the election audit taking place right now in Maricopa County, Arizona, then you also know that Democrats, news propagandists, and "concerned" NeverTrump Republicans are beginning to sound more and more like trapped rats squeaking in fear.  An army of lawyers — many of the same political operatives who manipulated the November election by contravening existing election laws and flooding battleground states with uncontrolled and unverified mail-in ballots — are begging state and federal courts to stop the audit midcourse and petitioning Arizona's Democrat secretary of state and Merrick Garland's Department of Justice to intervene under the absurd pretense that ensuring election integrity somehow deprives voters of their civil rights.  Arizonan and Biden-supporter Cindy McCain has publicly called the vote recount "ludicrous" because "the election is over."  And MSNBC's Rachel Maddow is so terrified of what the auditors might find that she insists that the whole exercise is not only "dangerous," but also the "end of democracy."

Arizona Formally Bans Post-Election Signature Fix for Unsigned Mail-In Ballots.  Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey signed a law on Friday [5/7/2021] banning voters from adding signatures on unsigned mail-in ballots after election day.  The measure, Arizona Senate bill 1003 (S.B. 1003), was approved earlier in the state legislature in party-line votes.  The new law codified a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit on Oct. 6, 2020, within one month of the 2020 election.  It also ended disputes over unsigned mail-in ballots between the state Republicans and Democrats.  Current Arizona law allows election officials to contact the voters to fix the signatures on the ballots if the signatures don't match other signatures from records in the Department of Motor Vehicle, voter registration forms, or previous early ballots.  The voters can fix the signatures, if they failed to pass the verification process, within up to five business days after election day.

Arizona Senate Tells US Officials Plan To Canvass Voters Is on Hold.  Arizona's Senate president on Friday told the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) that a plan by election auditors to verify the validity of certain voters is on hold indefinitely.  "If and to the extent the Senate subsequently decides that canvassing is necessary to the successful completion of the audit, its vendor will implement detailed requirements to ensure that the canvassing is conducted in a manner that complies fully with the commands of the United States Constitution and federal and state civil rights laws," Arizona Senate President Karen Fann, a Republican, told Pamela Karlan, a DOJ official, in a letter.  Karlan, principal deputy assistant attorney general with the DOJ's Civil Rights Division, raised concerns earlier in the week with the plan by Cyber Ninjas, the company leading the audit for the state Senate, to verify the validity of certain voter registrations with questionable addresses by dispatching people to verify whether the voter lived at the address on the registrations.

Voter Suppression?  Democrats [are] Flat-Out Wrong.  Census Data Gives Real Story About US Elections.  There is no suppression going on of anyone's votes anywhere in the country.  Anyone who says otherwise is just making it up.  The Census Bureau's recent release of its 2020 election survey of voters clearly demonstrates that those who have been claiming, without justification or evidence, that we have been experiencing a wave of so-called voter suppression have a lot of explaining to do.  Among those making such claims:  Vice President Kamala Harris, Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta, U.S. Justice Department nominee Kristen Clarke, former Attorney General Eric Holder, Stacey Abrams, and a host of leaders of left-wing organizations like the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights and the NAACP, among others.  Instead, the Census Bureau reports that the turnout in last year's election was 66.8% — just short of the record turnout of 67.7% of voting-age citizens for the 1992 election.  It beat the turnout in President Barack Obama's first election, which was reported as 63.6% by the bureau.

Turn Over Routers or Face Subpoenas, Arizona Lawmakers Tell Maricopa County.  Legislators in Arizona and officials in the state's largest county clashed anew this week over election audit subpoenas, with county officials refusing to hand over routers and claiming they do not have passwords to access administrative control functions of election machines.  Arizona's Senate told Maricopa County on Friday [5/7/2021] that it would issue subpoenas for live testimony from the county's Board of Supervisors unless it received the materials that are being withheld.  "We've been asked to relay that the Senate views the County's explanations on the router and passwords issues as inadequate and potentially incorrect," a lawyer for the Senate said in an email to county officials.  The Arizona Senate subpoenaed a slew of election materials, such as ballots, following the 2020 election.  Lawmakers also issued subpoenas for election machines, passwords, and other technology.

President Trump welcomes N.H. audit of 2020 elections, praises patriots for revealing truth.  President Trump has endorsed the upcoming audit of the 2020 elections in New Hampshire while the state appoints members of the audit team.  The 45th president congratulated the citizens of Windham Thursday [5/6/2021] for their effort to restore the integrity of elections in their state.  President Trump also praised the media outlets that have covered the Windham incident and the ongoing fight for election integrity, which includes One America News.  He said the Democrat fake news media are suppressing the truth about the Windham incident while local patriots are working to reveal the truth.

President Trump Outlines Evidence of Election Manipulation in Michigan — Lawsuit Includes Evidence of Electronic Ballot Manipulation in Antrim County.  In the state of Michigan, specifically Antrim County, there is an ongoing civil lawsuit into the electronic tabulation systems used in the 2020 election.  The plaintiff in the case is William Bailey and his attorneys include the DePerno Law Office:  "We have the proof that voting machines used in the 2020 elections can be compromised and votes easily transferred from one candidate to another.  We can flip votes at the tabulator/precinct level.  We can flip votes at the county level.  The American people are losing their voice for the future of our democracy.  We must fight together for free and fair elections."

Democrats Are Cheaters.  The reason Democrats and their left-wing allies hate the Georgia election reform bill and are so adamant about passing their H.R. 1 / S 1 Corrupt Politicians Act is simple:  They cheat and they want to keep cheating.  They cheated in the presidential election of 2020 and got away with it, thanks to a fearful judiciary, a complicit media, and a multimillion-dollar scheme that turned election offices in targeted cities and counties into Democratic turnout machines, and eliminated or ignored the verification requirements for people voting by mail to prove their identity and their eligibility to vote.  Now, they are furiously trying to codify their massive 2020 cheating into federal law and to stop states from imposing new safeguards against illegal voting and election irregularities.

New census data raises serious questions about 2020 election fraud.  According to a website called The Election Wizard, newly released census data contains an "anomaly" when it comes to squaring it with the reported electoral results:  ["]US Census data released last week called into question the official vote tally from the 2020 election.  As part of the Census, the government collects data on citizens who self-report as having voted in presidential elections.  The collected data shows an unusual anomaly in the reported results.  According to the Census, the recorded number of people voting in 2020 was tallied at 154,628,000.  On the other hand, official results place the number of actual ballots cast slightly north of 158 million.  That's a discrepancy of nearly four million votes.["]  If the census data is correct, then about 4 million votes mysteriously were added to the election totals.  Usually, the census data and the reported vote totals correlate closely.

Maricopa County, Arizona Election Officials Did NOT Have Control Over Ballot Counting Machines.  In the latest update from Maricopa County, former Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett explains that county election officials have admitted they did not control the ballot counting machines.  Additionally, Bennett explains the progress of the ballot audit and what the next steps are likely to be.  "Officials in Maricopa County, Arizona were forced to acknowledge they did not have any control over the voting machines during the 2020 elections.  [Video clip]

Hot off the Presses!  Arizona Audit Update.  Earlier today, I spoke with Dr. Kelli Ward, Arizona GOP Chairwoman, about the Arizona audit.  Not surprisingly, most of what you read on Twitter or hear on the news is entirely false.  First, I asked what we won out of the settlement earlier this week.  "Won?" she replied.  "We didn't lose anything."  The Arizona Secretary of State, Katie Hobbes "won" the right to have observers present.  But Ward found that laughable:  "We invited Hobbes to be a part of the process from the beginning," including having observers.  As for the absentee ballot signature verification, Cyber Ninjas was not doing that in the first place.  Cyber Ninjas issued a statement saying, "The settlement with the Arizona Democratic Party does not change anything in the conduct of the audit."  In addition to the observers, the settlement required the audit team not to have blue or black pens when ballots were handled.  It never has — this was a Hoax News report based on nothing.  Nothing has changed.  The settlement required the audit team to secure the ballots, which have been secure from the beginning.  Nothing changed.  And the settlement required the audit team not to compare signatures on early ballot envelopes with signatures from the voter registration file.  Cyber Ninjas had not been doing this anyway.  Nothing changed.

DePerno Says Votes Were Changed In Dominion Tabulators.  Monday's [5/3/2021] video showing expert Ken Lenberg using a tabulator to flip votes as one more piece of evidence should have turned the heads of every media person and government official in the state of Michigan.  Lenberg's demonstration is further proof that the Antrim County election may have been fraudulent.  Friday's Dark to Light podcast featured Attorney Matt DePerno, who filed the first election lawsuit, still ongoing, that has made it to the evidentiary phase.  At the end of the interview, he asked a simple question, "Why have state senators and state representatives not said one single thing about this since Monday? [It] is unbelievable.  They should have risen up already and come out in one collective voice that they are going to conduct an independent audit of this election after this information was put out.  Not one single Michigan media company has covered this story.  They have all ignored it collectively.  They don't want to talk about it.  No one wants to publicize it, and our attempts to share that video, in many ways, get blocked."  Despite the censoring, the response to Lenberg's demonstration has been overwhelming- unlike anything "they have put out or seen in this case."

VP Harris Visits New Hampshire Days Before Windham Forensic Auditors Selected.  On Apr. 23, Vice President Kamala Harris made her first official trip to New Hampshire, thirty days after being appointed by Biden to lead the administration's efforts to stem the flow of refugee border crossings, and three days before auditors were selected for the forensic audit in Windham, NH.  Many questioned why Harris was in N.H. when she had neither visited nor held a press conference about the expanding border emergency.  Harris' journey to the Granite State was her first since 2019 when she was still a California U.S. Senator running for president.  The trip extended visits to numerous places in the U.S., including California, Illinois, Connecticut, and North Carolina.  The vice president's visit to the early-primary state sparked curiosity in some who questioned whether the visit was a political move in the race for the 2024 White House should Biden not run for a second term.

Election Integrity:  Recommendations Report.  This is a comprehensive (thirty!) list of constructive, collaborative and creative recommendations to meaningfully address the US election system.  The authors are independent, unpaid experts from several different fields.


U.S. Elections Integrity:  Recommendations Report.  Much of the recent attention on election integrity has been focused on Arizona and the partisan battle over the pending audit of ballots cast during the 2020 election in Maricopa County.  Other related election topics continue to receive media attention, too, including the passage of new state election laws in Georgia, Texas, and elsewhere.  Behind those headlines, an independent team led by physicist and Mensa member John Droz, Jr., has compiled a detailed set of recommendations on improving election integrity in all states.  The report has just been posted here.  This article briefly summarizes the report and its findings.

Sidney Powell Shares US Election Integrity Report!.  What happened in the 2020 Elections?  It would be easier, in the case of voter fraud, to ask what didn't they do in the 2020 elections for it has been obvious and now about to be proven that the voter and election fraud committed had left nothing more to try outside of just standing up and saying Biden won, now go home and shut up.  Oops... they did that too.  I guess they left nothing out.  Thanks to the persistance of all the patriots like General Flynn, Mike Lindell, Patrick Byrnes, and a persistent legal team, the tide is turning as the Arizona Audit winds down and Sidney Powell et. al. roll up their sleeves for the moment they've been waiting for!  We The People — hold the line for it's KRAKEN TIME!  Sidney Powell posted the following link to the latest report on Election Integrity and asks for others to send this out to whomever you can.

Election Integrity:  The Foundation of Our Freedoms.  As a national energy expert, I often tell US citizens that we take our energy grid for granted — at our peril.  If our energy grid goes down (e.g. similar to what actually recently happened in Texas), it wouldn't take long for the US to revert to the status of a third-world country.  Considering that every turbine that we add to the grid makes this a more likely possibility, we are on an extremely disturbing trajectory.  So it is with election integrity.  Since we are trusting souls, immersed in our busy lives, most US citizens are complacent and uninformed about what is happening behind-the-scenes with our election process.  That is also at our peril, as a freedom-loving people.  When citizens become untethered from their representatives, then the foundation of America is dissolved.  The best thing about the disconcerting 2020 elections is that it may wake up enough citizens to what has been happening to our election process over several years now.

AZ Audit Director Ken Bennett:  Dominion Refuses to Comply with Subpoena and Turn Over Password to Their Maricopa County Machines.  Arizona Audit Director Ken Bennett joined One America News to discuss the latest developments in the Maricopa County forensic audit.  On Thursday [5/6/2021] The Gateway Pundit reported on this explosive news from Arizona.  The Maricopa County Election Board claimed this week they do not have 'Admin' access to their county's voting machines.  If this is the case, then the County did not own the election process they ceded it to their external vendor.

Texas House OK's Republican-backed voting bill in key vote.  Republicans in the Texas House of Representatives moved a big step closer early Friday [5/7/2021] to making Texas the latest GOP-controlled state to pass sweeping election law changes.  After a marathon session that started Thursday evening, state House passed its bill Friday afternoon in a 78-64 vote.  It will now go back to the state Senate where Republicans could either vote on the version passed by the House, or the chambers will sort out their differences in a conference bill.

Biden Chief of Staff's Daughter Asked DOJ to Deploy Federal Monitors for Arizona Audit.  Hannah Klain, daughter of President Joe Biden's powerful Chief of Staff Ron Klain, recently signed a letter urging the Justice Department to deploy federal monitors to monitor the Arizona State Senate's audit of 2020 presidential votes in Maricopa County.  The letter, from three groups — the Brennan Center for Justice, the Leadership Conference Education Fund, and Protect Democracy — was sent last week to the Justice Department, expressing concern that the auditors are "engaged in ongoing and imminent violations of federal voting and election laws."

Politico Reporter on Morning Joe:  I'll Get 'In Trouble' For Saying FL Election Law Not So Bad.  "The big lie" is perhaps the liberal media's favorite phrase nowadays.  Shorthand, of course, for saying it's a lie to claim that the 2020 presidential election was tainted by fraud.  So if the MSM hates lies, you'd think they'd welcome the truth.  But seems like they only want "truth" that fits their liberal narrative.  Speaking inconvenient truths can get you "in trouble."  Take Florida-based Politico reporter Marc Caputo, appearing on today's [5/7/2021] Morning Joe to discuss the election law that Gov. Ron DeSantis signed yesterday. [...] Caputo knew that saying that the Florida law was anything less than horrific would earn him the ire of liberals in the media and elected office.  It tells you everything you need to know about the MSM:  they are all about propagandizing for the left.  Any facts that don't comport with that mission are unwelcome, and can land the person who speaks them "in trouble."

Maricopa Ballot Update — GOP Chairwoman Kelli Ward Discusses Sec.  Of State and DOJ Coordinating to Derail Audit.  After the DOJ Civil Rights Division sends a letter to the Arizona state senate, Arizona Chairwoman Kelli Ward gives an update on the coordinated democrat shenanigans.  As Ward notes, the Democrat Arizona Secretary of State is coordinating with the DOJ in an effort to block the audit from continuing.  The auditors and the State senate need our support as the feds start to target the effort.  Unfortunately, I suspect that somewhere, sometime, at some point in this battle, the legal fight is going to end up at the U.S. Supreme Court.

Maricopa County cites 'security risk' in refusing to give subpoenaed router info to 2020 election audit team.  Officials in Maricopa County, Arizona, where a Republican-backed audit of the 2020 election is underway, said they cannot give the audit team access to county router information that was subpoenaed by the state Senate.  In a Monday [5/3/2021] letter sent to Ken Bennett, a former Republican secretary of state in Arizona who is serving as the Republican-led state Senate's audit liaison, Deputy County Attorney Joseph La Rue said the county "cannot at this time provide the virtual images of routers" to be examined by auditors, citing "a significant security risk to law enforcement data utilized by the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office as well as numerous federal agencies."  "We had previously believed that the risk would be eliminated by redacting the law enforcement data on the routers and not producing it," La Rue said in the letter.  "But we were informed that redaction did not eliminate the risk.  We also learned that if criminal elements or others gained access to this data, it might compromise county and federal law enforcement efforts and put the lives of law enforcement personnel at risk."

MSNBC: Don't Know How Florida Bill Will Suppress Voting, But 'A Lot of Bleeding'.  MSNBC correspondent Sam Brock admitted on Thursday's [5/6/2021] Hallie Jackson Reports that critics of Florida's new election law do not know how it will suppress the vote, but are certain it will.  After criticizing Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for excluding non-Fox media in the signing ceremony, Brock added "I spoke with a voting law expert who said it's like 1,000 paper cuts.  It's not clear what any one of the components of S.B. 90 will actually do in terms of suppressing the vote.  When you add them all up together, it could make for a lot of bleeding when it comes to voter access, Hallie."

TGP Reporter Confronts AZ Secretary of State Katie Hobbs — Katie Hobbs Runs!.  Earlier this afternoon [5/6/2021] The Gateway Pundit reporter confronted far left Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs following her interview with local news.  Hobbs has been working day and night to interfere with, slander, and attempt to shut down the Senate Audit of the Maricopa County ballots and voting machines.  Jordan [Conradson] did not let the opportunity to question Hobbs to pass him by.

DeSantis Signs New Election Law Live on Fox, Liberal Media Hardest Hit.  In the 8 am hour of Thursday's [4/6/2021] Fox & Friends, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) signed a new election law on live television, an exclusive that other media couldn't attend.  Naturally, the liberal media were outraged.  On his MSNBC show this morning, Craig Melvin complained:  "You'll notice this video that we are using is from Fox News.  That's because it was the only media outlet that was allowed in the room when it was signed.  All other media outlets were shut out."  The journalists might be surprised that many people think this event would not be enhanced in importance by someone from 60 Minutes yelling at DeSantis.

Trump Congratulates 'Patriots' for Election Audit Most People Don't Know About.  There is an election audit taking place in America right now, and it's not in Arizona.  On Thursday [5/6/2021], Donald Trump brought people's attention to it by issuing a new statement.  "Congratulations to the great Patriots of Windham, New Hampshire for their incredible fight to seek out the truth on the massive Election Fraud which took place in New Hampshire and the 2020 Presidential Election," Trump wrote.  "The spirit for transparency and justice is being displayed all over the Country by media outlets which do not represent Fake News."  "People are watching in droves as these Patriots work tirelessly to reveal the real facts of the most tainted and corrupt Election in American history," he added.  "Congratulations Windham — look forward to seeing the results."  In Windham, New Hampshire, a town of about 14,000 near the Massachusetts border, a state legislative race was thrown into disarray when a recount found major discrepancies with the original total.

US Justice Department worried about Arizona Senate recount.  The U.S. Department of Justice expressed concern Wednesday about ballot security and potential voter intimidation arising from the Republican-controlled Arizona Senate's unprecedented private recount of the 2020 presidential election results in Maricopa County.  In a letter to GOP Senate President Karen Fann, the head of the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division said the Senate's farming out of 2.1 million ballots from the state's most populous county to a contractor may run afoul of federal law requiring ballots to remain in the control of elections officials for 22 months.

Evidence: Voting Machines Had Unauthorized Implant to Circumvent Security in Michigan.  Matthew DePerno, constitutional attorney in Michigan, revealed the forensic evidence shows Dominion voting machines had an unauthorized implant installed to circumvent its own security features.  [Video clip]  DePerno said forensic images obtained in December 2020 show machines were connected to the internet, and evidence of "even remnants of foreign connections."  "We're the only case in the country that's been actually able to look at forensic images," he told War Room, Wednesday.  "Dec. 6, 2020 we went into Antrim County and collected forensic images of [Dominion's] election management system.  We've been studying them since that time."

Needed: A National Election Fraud Database.  United States voter fraud is a nationwide crime perpetrated locally, mostly by Democrats.  Republicans either do not do it or when they do, they get caught.  It is no coincidence that only Democrats fight voter ID laws, ballot audits in Maricopa County, and investigations in New Hampshire.  This month Matt Braynard, Trump's data guy, issued a comprehensive report on Georgia voter fraud.  Read it?  If you did, you are the eleventh person after friends and family.  People, look, we cannot fight industrial, sovereign, large-scale, election fraud with reports, press releases, and webinars.  That stuff creates a false sense of progress to the committed while nothing changes for the masses.  The narrative remains "...but there was no provable voter fraud."  We need hip technology delivered on a phone showing electoral fraud in current data rolls — that drives citizen outrage.

Arizona GOP Party Chair Dr. Kelli Ward Weighs in on Biden DOJ Interference in AZ Senate Forensic Audit.  As reported earlier according to Garrett Archer at ABC15 in Phoenix, Arizona the Biden Department of Justice is going to "get involved in some capacity" with the ongoing forensic audit.  As we have been reporting for weeks now, Democrats are REALLY, REALLY worried about the Maricopa County audit.

Biden DOJ to Interfere with State of Arizona Forensic Audit of Maricopa County Ballots.  The same organization that manufactured and ran the Russia collusion hoax and allowed for the 2020 election fraud is going to interfere with the Arizona audit!  According to Garrett Archer at ABC 15 in Phoenix, Arizona the Biden Department of Justice is going to "get involved in some capacity" with the ongoing forensic audit.

Kenosha Residents Demand to Know Why Outsiders Helped Run Wisconsin Election.  Six Kenosha residents have filed a complaint with the Wisconsin Elections Commission alleging the city allowed liberal outside groups to take over running November's election.  The action is the latest in a growing number of election law complaints against the "famous WI-5" — the cities of Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, Kenosha, and Racine.  But unlike in Green Bay, where the city's clerk challenged the infiltration by the outside groups and meddling city officials, emails obtained by Wisconsin Spotlight show that election officials in the other four Democratic Party strongholds were glad to go along for the well-funded ride.

Michigan lawsuit claims to have 'cracked' Dominion election code.  Last month, Michigan constitutional attorney Matthew DePerno released his much anticipated Michigan Elections Forensics Report.  In the report, expert witnes Dr. Douglas Frank concluded that in nine Michigan counties, including counties in the Detroit metro, over 66,000 ballots were recorded that are not associated with a registered voter from the October 2020 database.  Frank also asserted that voter registration was either near or exceeded the population of those counties.  Dr. Frank concluded that an algorithm based on census and registration data shifted votes in Michigan.  Today [5/4/2021], DePerno released another expert exhibit, which claims to have cracked the Dominion code.  In court filings, DePerno alleges his expert, Jeff Lenberg, conducted tests that "replicate the vote tally errors" seen in Antrim county.  DePerno asserts these errors run counter to the "human error" narrative.

Victory: Kansas bans ballot-harvesting and a slew of other Democrat election-rigging tricks, overriding leftist governor veto.  If a place isn't too far gone to start with, there's reason for hope.  That's what we're now seeing in Kansas, with its legislative override of a gubernatorial veto on a law to ensure free and fair elections, following the similar measures in Georgia: [...] The legislation bans ballot-harvesting, prohibits electioneering in voting lines, bans private funds from being used to administer public elections (looking at you, Mark Zuckerberg), and prohibits the local secretary of state or governor from making emergency changes to election laws.  Those are all holes in election law that enabled the widespread election fraud in the 2020 election that brought us the odious Joe Biden, a doddering old fool who couldn't even attract a crowd to his rallies, and since taking office has governed like a radical left-wing dictator without the charisma.  Georgia has enacted protective measures to ensure the easily done cheating and abuses don't happen again.  Now Kansas.

Windham, NH Board Walks Out of Town Meeting After Outraged Residents Shouts Them Down Over Audit!  Hundreds of local citizens turned out to the Windham, New Hampshire City Meeting tonight [5/3/2021] at the city hall.  The city leaders or "selectmen" moved the meeting back to the smaller venue at the city hall sometime today.  That way hundreds of concerned citizens were left standing outside!

Hey New Hampshire — Look At who 'Verified Voting' (the Firm Selected to Audit Windham) Is Associating With.  Verified Voting may be the worst pick to perform the audit in New Hampshire's Windham County based on its associates alone.  Remember, birds of a feather flock together.  It was announced last week that the auditor picked to perform an audit in New Hampshire's Windham County was Verified Voting:  [Tweet]  We reported last week that New Hampshire officials selected Verified Voting, the same entity that said the Arizona election fraud claims were fake and worked to try to get the Maricopa County audit shut down!

10 Takeaways from Maricopa County, Arizona 2020 election audit:
  [#1]   No matter what the results are, organizers say they will not impact 2020 election results; the audit is to identify areas where improvement may be needed.
  [#2]   There is no deadline for the audit to be completed.  Organizers say it will take weeks.
  [#3]   Democrats have made multiple attempts to stop the audit but have, so fair, failed in court.
  [#4]   Organizers say they are looking for watermarks on ballots, but not because watermarks should appear:  they say watermarks should not appear.
  [#5]   Organizers say they are not authorized to release any of their findings along the way.

Arizona Officials Move in on Thursday — Increase the Number of Tables at Veterans Memorial Coliseum to Speed Up Forensic Audit.  After the shift workers left the coliseum on Thursday, staff moved in and doubled the number of processing tables there.  They must be wanting to speed things up.  You can now see that where there were 5 tables for yellow T-shirt workers there are now at least 11 new tables for yellow T-shirt election workers.

Spy Plane Identified Circling the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum Where the Election Audit Is Taking Place.  A spy plane was identified flying over the Maricopa County audit.  What information are they after?  Sunday morning [5/2/2021] we were alerted to the fact that a plane was circling around the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum last week.  We received only the picture above.  We followed up and found more information on this plane and additional information on other events where a plane circled the sky in a similar fashion.  One such incident was in San Bernadino after the shooting spree by Islamic terrorists Farook and Malik.  But we looked further into this flight above in Arizona and found the plane used was owned by the City of Phoenix.

Maricopa County 2020 election audit expanding as liaison says 'no deadline'.  The Republican-backed audit of the 2020 election in Maricopa County, Arizona, is getting more expansive and may extend beyond initial expectations.  With the audit reaching the one-week mark at the end of last week, former Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett, who is the state Senate audit liaison, offered an update on the controversial review, which includes 2.1 million ballots cast, a forensic audit of the voting machines, and follow-up interviews with voters.  Bennett declined to offer an estimate of the number of ballots that have been counted or whether any fraud has been found, although it had been initially estimated that an audit report would be released within 60 days of it starting.  The audit, which has been the focus of a legal challenge by Arizona Democrats trying to stop it and praise by former President Donald Trump and his allies, who insist the 2020 contest was stolen, is about to start "phase two" following an off-day on Sunday, he added.

Media hysteria means Arizona election audit may be on to something.  Ordering a recount is one thing; relitigating a multimillion-vote election is quite another.  It looks tremendously suspicious that, after Republican poll-watchers were banished, massive blocs of Detroit votes were introduced in the early morning, with 95% Biden selection.  But what exactly is a smart person in black robes supposed to do with this tableau?  Overturn the election without taking evidence?  Convene a three-month trial with numerous witnesses and experts, while Biden and Trump cool their heels?  A wise court should toss the case, as each reviewing jurist did.  But this rejection should not be seen as validating the election process, as the major media did.  The election process itself, not the judicial system, is supposed to be administered so as to provide the public with confidence in the announced tallies.  For this reason, the only widely recognized judicial remedy, as in Bush v. Gore, is an order to recount, which brings the process back to its proper venue: the election centers.  So the unsuccessful Republican and Trump lawsuits to invalidate the various election results do not validate the propriety of election procedures; they merely demarcate the limited jurisdictional boundaries of our judicial system.

Media Outlet Identified! — CNN Is Caught Outside AZ Audit Center Parking Lot Harassing State Audit Workers.  On Friday night [4/30/2021] The Gateway Pundit Jordan Conradson interviewed Arizona Audit Director Ken Bennett on the latest developments in the historic Maricopa County forensic audit.  Ken gave The Gateway Pundit an exclusive on the historic audit that continued Friday at Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix.  Ken Bennett also dropped this bomb during the interview.  The liberal media is attempting to dox the audit workers!  [Video clip]

"We Will Find Mistakes — Irregularities and We Probably Are Going to Find Outright Fraud" — AZ GOP Chair Dr. Kelli Ward.  Arizona Republican Chair Dr. Kelli Ward joined Chris Salcedo Thursday [4/29/2021] on Newsmax TV to give an update on the Arizona Senate Forensic Audit of Maricopa County, Arizona.  Officials and election workers have been counting ballots now for over five days.  At least 100,000 ballots have been inspected so far.  Dr. Kelli Ward again attacked Democrats who continue to lie about the process and continue to fight election integrity.

Democrat Panic! 'Reporter' from Phoenix Warns Far-left MSNBC that the Maricopa Audit Process Might Be Used in the Future.  The Democrats are in a major panic.  They are so afraid that the audit in Maricopa County currently in process is going to find material differences with what was reported after the 2020 Election.  This may force the Democrats to find other ways to cheat.  Arizona 'reporter' Brahm Resnik was invited on conspiracy site MSNBC this morning [4/27/2021] to spew opinions about the current audit effort in Maricopa County.  He did at least warn MSNBC that this audit process could [and should] be in place across the country soon.

It's Time For Georgians To Stand Up:  Demand a Full Forensic Audit of 2020 Results — Dr. Peter Navarro Explains Why.  Dr. Peter Navarro was on Steve Bannon's War Room yesterday and he explained why Georgia should be the next state performing a forensic audit of its 2020 Election results like Arizona is doing right now. [...] Navarro begins by discussing an agreement that Governor Kemp and his Secretary of State Raffensperger signed months before the election.  This and other agreements with the Democrats were the beginning of the corrupt 2020 election in Georgia.  [Video clip]

Maricopa County, Arizona Audit Update — "Tens Of Thousands, Shy of 100,000 Ballots" Inspected so Far!  Former Secretary of State Ken Bennett announced [4/27/2021] that "tens of thousands, shy of 100,000 ballots" have been inspected!  The election workers are inspecting the paper with ultra-violet light.  The leftist media is in attack mode!  They did not let up on Ken Bennett — nonstop media attacks!

What is the Job of the Blue Shirts in the Maricopa County Audit?  Doug TenNapel Provides the Answer.  Many people watching the audit taking place in Maricopa County are curious as to the purpose of the different colored shirts.  These shirts are used to designate the various duties for each group of auditors.  Today we provide an explanation for the duties of the individuals in the blue shirts.  We've already reported how the audit of the 2020 Election results in Maricopa County may be the most transparent audit ever.  The entire process is videotaped by at least nine cameras placed within the facility where the audit is taking place, the Arizona Veterans Memorial Coliseum.  This is the total opposite of the Democrats' vote counting process that took place after the election.

Democrats worry that their steal won't hold.  James Carville, the man who in 2008 boldly predicted Democrats would rule for the next 40 years, is nervous because not only did President Donald John Trump prove him completely and unassailably wrong in 2016, but in 2020 as well.  Every election indicator proved Trump won re-election.  He took Ohio and Florida.  He took 19 of the 20 bellwether counties.  Republicans gained seats in the House.  The refusal by the establishment to allow an audit of the election in key states stems from the knowledge that Democrats stole the election with the help of Liz Cheney Republicans who sold conservatism and America out for 30 pieces of silver.  Democrats cannot act like they won because they did not win.

Arizona Judge Recuses Himself From Election Audit Case — [an] Attorney Who Previously Interned for Judge Works for the Auditors.  The Judge in the Democrats case where they are attempting to stop the Arizona audit recused himself on Sunday [4/25/2021].  On Sunday evening in Arizona, the Maricopa County Superior Court Judge, Christopher Coury, who oversaw the case related to the Democrats' challenge to the audit currently going on in the county, recused himself from the case.  The reason is that the auditors hired an attorney who interned with Judge Coury previously.  When the new attorney was introduced today for the first time the Judge was forced to resign from the case.

Kansas Governor Vetoes Election Reform, Gun Bills.  Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly on April&Nbsp;23 vetoed election reform legislation and a measure that would have let more people carry guns.  Kelly, a Democrat, vetoed two bills that would have changed election laws, such as requiring counties to verify signatures on early voting ballots and making it illegal for any person to knowingly alter a postmark on a mail-in ballot. [...] Kelly alleged the bills would have suppressed votes.  "Although Kansans have cast millions of ballots over the last decade, there remains no evidence of significant voter fraud in Kansas.  This bill is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.  It is designed to disenfranchise Kansans, making it difficult for them to participate in the democratic process, not to stop voter fraud," she said in a statement.

Arizona ballot audit that Dems fought is underway using tech to detect counterfeits.  As a rule, people who fight public disclosure tend to have something to hide.  Democrats revealed how deeply they fear the discovery of ballot fraud in Arizona when they fought tooth and nail to prevent the audit now underway at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Phoenix.  Monica Showalter explained how hard they fought — and lost — thanks to a judge with guts that demanded a million-dollar bond from them to cover costs they might impose through their efforts to delay the count.  Yesterday saw the auditors at work, livestreamed from 9 different camera angles.  One of the tests they are using that would scare the pants off of anyone who might have employed counterfeit ballots is scanning with UV Light for the watermarks that were used on the genuine ballots.

Arizona Justice Confirms Lower Court's Ruling — Forensic Audit Will Continue Until At Least Thursday!  The litigation related to the Arizona audit is not over.  It may just be the beginning.  The Democrats and RINOs will do anything to stop the audit.  Yesterday [4/23/2021] after the Democrats refused to put down a $1 million bond for the costs of ending the audit, so the judge allowed the audit to continue.  The audit continued yesterday into the evening.  People already started to arrive this morning and the Veterans Memorial Coliseum at the State Fairgrounds where the counting is taking place.

Screaming and racism accusations:  Top four congressional clashes of the week.  [#3] Cruz presses Abrams on stolen election claim:  Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz grilled former Democratic Georgia state House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on voting rights laws on Tuesday [4/20/2021].  Abrams, who is now a voting rights activist, unsuccessfully ran to become the governor of Georgia in 2018, but she asserted that Republican Gov. Brian Kemp won the race by using "deliberate and intentional" voter suppression.  "You still refuse to concede that you lost the race for governor in Georgia in 2018," Cruz said to Abrams.  "Today, do you still maintain that the 2018 Georgia election was stolen?"

Arizona Republicans Strike Back — File Motion of Their Own Against State Democrats.  The Arizona Republican Party Chairwoman Kelli Ward gave an update Saturday on the ongoing Maricopa County forensic audit of 2020 ballots and Dominion voting machines.  The Pro-Trump chair is the RIGHT PERSON for the job as party leader in Arizona.  Kelli Ward spoke about how Democrats went to court on Friday in their latest attempt to shut down the ballot audit.  In a disgusting move, the Democrats accused Republicans of recruiting "hate groups" to perform the audit.  The court did not accept their bogus argument.  According to Ward, the Arizona Supreme Court weighed in on the latest challenge by Democrats and also allowed the audit to keep going.

Fraud: Democrats reveal their hand in Arizona vote recount debacle.  Democrats have a way of revealing themselves and their agenda, any time one of their truisms are just a tiny bit challenged.  So no surprise, they opposed a hand-recount of the 2020 voting ballots in Maricopa County, Arizona, which includes large or at least well known cities such as Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Chandler, and Mesa.  The vote went to Joe Biden.  Somehow, they didn't want them recounted. [...] It seems they want to hold on to that "narrative" that there is no such thing as election fraud and can't allow any room for questioning that, for one.  Why might that be?  This being politics, one can surmise that they benefited from such fraud, if there was any.  There really isn't any other explanation.  Certain things amplify that thesis considerably.  Number one, the Republicans said it wouldn't change the outcome of the election.  In fact, they said, truly or not, that they only wanted to find ways to make the system better, and, yes, a forensic audit might be a good place to start.  So in theory, even if there was fraud, Democrats should have nothing to worry about.  Yet they are worried, and that raises questions as to why.

Trump demands Arizona governor send state police or National Guard to 2020 election audit.  Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey must send in state police or the National Guard to protect the team conducting a GOP-backed 2020 election audit in Maricopa County, said former President Donald Trump.  Showing his vested interest in the controversial review, which is being challenged in court by Democrats, the 45th president sent three tweemails through his Save America PAC over the past 24 hours.  In those messages, Trump praised the Republicans he says are "exposing the large scale voter fraud," sharing a fundraising link for the endeavor and needling the state's GOP governor for not doing more to protect it.

5 More Residents File Complaint Over Outside Election Assistance in Wisconsin.  Kenneth Brown says Wisconsin voters should expect fair and honest elections.  Billionaire-funded, third-party groups involved in administering local elections turn that expectation on its head, he says.  Brown is one of five residents of Racine, Wisconsin, who filed a complaint Thursday alleging that Racine Mayor Cory Mason and City Clerk Tara Coolidge allowed left-leaning activists to take over administration of the presidential election in the city.  Their complaint, filed with the Wisconsin Elections Commission, also names the commission's administrator as a defendant.  New documents obtained by Wisconsin Spotlight show the city of Racine sought hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding for communication efforts targeting "voters with criminal records" and the purchase of a recreational vehicle to serve as a "mobile voting precinct," among other questionable election initiatives.

Judge Halts Arizona Audit of 2020 Election After Panicking Dems File Emergency Motion.  On Thursday, Democrats proved they absolutely have something to hide with the 2020 election results in Arizona.  They filed a lawsuit to block the Maricopa County election audit.  The judge has agreed to pause the audit until Monday.  "Superior Court Judge Christopher Coury said he wants to ensure the recount fully complies with Arizona law and asked for more information by Monday morning on the audit's policies and procedures," AZ Central reported.  "If Gallardo or the Democratic Party post a $1 million bond, the audit will be paused at 5 p.m.," the report cited the judge.  "I do not want to micromanage and it is not the posture of this court to micromanage or even to manage the process by which another branch of government, the Legislature, the Arizona state senate proceeds," Coury added.

Judge orders halt to major election audit in Maricopa County, Dems refuse to pay the required bond.  A judge in Arizona on Friday [4/23/2021] ordered a temporary halt to a major election audit of the state's Maricopa County, directing Democrats who had brought suit against the audit to put up a $1 million bond if they wish to maintain the halt for at least the next few days.  But the Arizona Democratic Party on Friday evening chose not to post the $1 million bond required by the judge to implement the pause.  The bond was intended to cover any expenses incurred because of the delay.  According to azcentral, Maricopa County "Superior Court Judge Christopher Coury said during a hearing Friday that he wants to ensure the recount fully complies with Arizona law and asked the state Senate, as well as its contractors, to provide more information by Monday morning on their policies and procedures."

Ben Carson Calls For Investigation Of Election: 'If There's Nothing To Hide, There Should Be Nothing To Worry About'.  Former HUD Secretary Ben Carson is calling for a "real, open" investigation of the 2020 presidential election.  During an interview on Fox News, Carson told host Neil Cavuto that he agrees that Donald Trump "was robbed" of an election victory.  "I think it's certainly worthy of investigation," Carson said.  Carson voiced his full support for an open investigation into "credible" evidence and claims "so we can put it to rest once and for all."

The "Windham Incident" Death Threats.  Many know, I have been actively involved with a State Senator and others over the past few months — pushing for a forensic audit of Windham's voting machines and ballots from the November 3, 2020 general election.  A law mandating the forensic audit was passed on April 12th.  Part of my support for the Bill included keeping the public aware, and asking them to respectfully submit their thoughts to the appropriate government officials.  Their responses have been overwhelming.  It is the civic duty of every citizen to get involved with our government — especially when critical decisions are made regarding the integrity of our elections.  Citizen involvement is the foundation of our representative government.  This morning [4/23/2021], I was informed by the Chairman of the Windham Board of Selectman that he received "at least two veiled death threats".  He added, "the veiled death threats have crossed the line.  This is on you."  He then asked that I make a public statement.  I have had a good, healthy, and respectful relationship with the Chairman going back many years.  I agree completely with him that any sort of threat — veiled or not — crosses the line.  But I do not agree that "this is on me".  I am NOT responsible for the actions of any other person.  I have NEVER incited — nor condoned — violence.  It is irresponsible that I am being blamed for someone else's actions.

4 Things to Know About Biden's New Voting Czar.  As Democrats push to expand the federal government's purview over elections, President Joe Biden has named a former Justice Department official to be a White House adviser on voting issues.  Biden this week tapped Justin Levitt, a Loyola Law School professor, to be his senior adviser for democracy and voting rights. [...] Levitt has been critical of Georgia's recent election reforms, telling FactCheck.org that the state's new law bans food and drink from voter lines at polling places.  "This new prohibition is extra, and prevents giving anyone in line food or drink, even if it's demonstrably not an incentive (e.g., giving someone who had already waited two hours in line a bottle of water)," Levitt told the website in an email.  Actually, the new Georgia law bans campaign workers and activists from handing out food or drink within a certain distance but specifically allows poll workers to hand out water.  The law prevents campaign workers from setting up a booth 150 feet from a polling station or within 25 feet of a voter.

President Trump Releases Statement on Forensic Audit in Maricopa County, Arizona.  The Arizona election ballot audit was planned to start today [4/23/2021].  On Thursday the voting machines and ballots were moved to the Veterans Memorial Coliseum at the State Fairgrounds where they will be audited.  The auditors are prepared and ready to begin their audit of Maricopa County's 2020 Election Results.  Today the machines and ballots were moved to the Veterans Memorial Coliseum at the State Fairgrounds where they will be audited.  They also set up nine cameras that will be available the entire time the audit takes place.  For the next three or so weeks if you wish to see what is going on, you will be able to log on to AZAudit.org and watch the audit while it is happening.

Maricopa County election audit to continue after Democrats reject $1 million bond.  A major political dispute over the results of last year's presidential election in Maricopa County is developing, but, for now, the audit sponsored by the Arizona State Senate Republicans will continue.  A Maricopa County judge ordered a pause after state Democrats filed a lawsuit to block the audit.  The pause would have been from 5 p.m. Friday until noon Monday, but the Arizona Democratic Party will not post the $1 million bond as requested by the judge.  In a statement, party officials said in part "the fact of the matter is that no one knows the actual cost of this sham audit and President Fann and the Cyber Ninjas have not once made this figure public."  Maricopa County delivered the first shipment of ballot-counting machines Wednesday for Arizona Senate Republicans' audit, but only after the Senate agreed to shield the county from any legal or financial liability connected to the audit, according to documents obtained by 12 News.

Arizona Democrats sue to try to stop Senate's election audit just before it begins.  Just before the Arizona Senate Republicans' hand count of all Maricopa County ballots cast in the November presidential election begins, Democrats are suing to try to stop it.  The Arizona Democratic Party and Maricopa County Supervisor Steve Gallardo filed a lawsuit in Maricopa County Superior Court on Thursday [4/22/2021] saying that the audit is unlawful and asking a judge to stop it from proceeding.  The complaint alleges the Senate's audit, which is set to begin Friday, is violating state election law in numerous ways, including by not setting up proper security to protect ballots, voting machines and voter information.  This is harmful, they write, because their private information "will be placed into the hands of unknown, untrained agents of the private auditors" without the safeguards outlined in state law.

Dershowitz Intends 'To Look at Those [Voting] Machines'.  As we reported Wednesday, Alan Dershowitz is working with Mike Lindell, CEO of MyPillow, as a legal advisor to him and his team in his fight against Dominion Voting Systems.  Dominion had sued him for $1.3 billion for defamation.  MyPillow is fighting back with a $1.6 billion lawsuit against Dominion, claiming that as "an agent of the government" (working under contract to the government to tabulate elections), Dominion is infringing on Lindell's First Amendment rights when it tries to shut him up.  "This may be one of the most critical First Amendment cases in the history of the United States," Lindell said Monday [4/19/2021].

"Now I'm Beginning to Wonder Why Would They Not Want to Prove That Their Election System Works?".  Arizona Republicans were on Spicer and Co. where they defended the audit that they have ready to go in Maricopa County.  Sean appeared baffled by their efforts.  Those who have followed this story have no questions about why it is needed.  Karen Fann, the President of the Arizona Senate, and Rick Gray, the Arizona Senate Majority Leader, joined Sean Spicer and Lyndsay Keith on Newsmax's 'Spicer & Co.' last night [4/19/2021].

Modem Chips Embedded in Voting System Computer Motherboards.  While all of the attention has been focused upon manipulation of election results via software, there has been very little attention paid to hardware.  Malware can be embedded in hardware as well as software.  That's why the following discovery unearthed by Attorney Matt DePerno during his investigation into Antrim County election fraud is so important.

Fraud In Montana: 6% More Mail-In Ballots Than Votes, Video of Counting Is Missing.  [Video clip only.]

Michigan Elections Forensics Report Says 66,194 Unregistered Ballots [were] Tallied.  Michigan constitutional attorney Matthew DePerno released his much anticipated Michigan Elections Forensics Report on Friday [4/9/2021].  On election night, Antrim County, a traditionally "red" county flipped overwhelmingly to "blue." The flip raised major flags.  The reported results featured a 3,260 vote margin for Joe Biden out of a total of 16,047 votes cast.  The wide victory didn't make sense to most political observers.  Following the oddity, the Antrim County Board of Canvassers conducted a series of recounts.  Strangely enough, each recount produced different results.

Supreme Court Rejects GOP Challenge to Pennsylvania Election Rules.  The Supreme Court declined on April 19 to hear a lawsuit regarding a Pennsylvania voting dispute nearly six months after the Nov. 3, 2020, election.  The court rejected an appeal from a Republican congressional candidate's unsuccessful challenge of the state's mail-in ballot initiatives, which is the final Nov. 3-related action to be dismissed related to Pennsylvania's voting laws.  In a two-line order, the Supreme Court wrote:  "The petition for a writ of certiorari is granted.  The judgment is vacated, and the case is remanded to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit with instructions to dismiss the case as moot."  The decision is the Supreme Court's latest rejection of a slew of election lawsuits that came before and after the Nov. 3 election, as President Donald Trump and his Republican allies attempted to challenge the results.

Democrats Are Terrified of Georgia.  Georgia's voting reform success has the liberal coalition on high alert.  Why?  Because the left fears common sense voting reforms will stand in the way of their dream — a federal takeover of state and local elections.  By now we are used to the unholy alliance between liberal activists, the media, and Democratic lawmakers.  But the Democrats have recruited a new member to join in their assault on GOP voting bills: corporate CEOs.  What motivated big businesses to join the fray this time?  It's simple.  They see it as an opportunity for woke virtue signaling.  It's easy to speak out against so-called "racist" voting laws if it boosts their bottom line.

Dominion Advisor Met With John Podesta Offering 'Anything' That Would Help Defeat Trump, According to Email Released by WikiLeaks.  An email previously released by WikiLeaks reveals that a Dominion Voting advisor met with John Podesta during Hillary Clinton's campaign to discuss ways that they could help to defeat Donald Trump.  In 2018, Dominion Voting announced that it had been acquired by its management team and Staple Street Capital, a New York-based private equity firm, who was being advised by Kirkland & Ellis LLP.  During Clinton's campaign, according to an email chain released by WikiLeaks, Kirkland & Ellis LLP partner Kamran S. Bajwa met with John Podesta while offering "anything" to help defeat Donald Trump.  Podesta, at the time, was chair of Hillary Clinton's 2016 U.S. presidential campaign.

MyPillow's Mike Lindell sues Dominion Voting Systems for $1.6 billion.  Mike Lindell, a conservative activist and the owner of MyPillow, announced Monday that his company has sued Dominion Voting Systems for $1.6 billion, saying the company has engaged in cancel culture and impeded his First Amendment rights.  "MyPillow just sued Dominion for $1.6 billion.  This is all about the First Amendment rights to free speech, what they have done to our country," Mr. Lindell said during a livestream on the Right Side Broadcasting Network.  "This isn't about the money.  This is about our First Amendment," he said.

Mike Lindell sues election-machine operator Dominion Voting Systems.  Dominion Voting Systems has sued a number of publications and individuals since last November's election, when its machines were used in states where presidential election results gave rise to suspicion of election fraud.  One man targeted by the company is Mike Lindell, the pro-Trump businessman who runs the MyPillow business.  Now he's fighting back.  Lindell and MyPillow Inc. on Monday [4/19/2021] sued Dominion Voting Systems seeking more than $1.6 billion in damages.

Jovan Pulitzer offers some little-known insights about 2020 voting machines.  [Scroll down]  Pulitzer added:  "One vote today should be the same as it was in 1776, which was the same as 1876, which was the idea in 1976, which started to be eroded with computerized machines starting in the 80s and 90s and was corruptly perfected in 2020.  We need to get back to 1776 standards n ethics!"

Forensic results in 9 Michigan counties found 66,104 unregistered ballots; Secretary of State stalls.  A constitutional attorney's forensic audit of the 2020 election in Michigan found that more than 66,000 unregistered ballots were counted.  The audit conducted by Matthew DePerno covered just 9 of Michigan's 83 counties.  Deperno's audit found that 66,194 ballot voter IDs were not found in the October registration database.  It also found that "modern chipsets were installed in voting system motherboards."  "The election was 100% curve-fitted to a model," Deperno tweeted on Sunday [4/11/2021].  DePerno's Twitter feed has chronicled the developments in recent days.  He said in a tweet on April 10: "Over the last 24 hours the national media and @FBI have disgraced themselves with their silence and dereliction of duty while our local media and law enforcement huddle in Benson's office to figure out how to spin."  In his documentation, DePerno addresses what he said is Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson's attempt to run out the clock on discovery in election fraud allegations.

Here's what a very rare audit of 2020 mail ballots in Missoula, Montana turned up.  During the summer of 2020, Montana's then-governor, Democrat Steve Bullock, issued a directive allowing the state's counties to conduct the Nov. 3 election fully by mail.  "Missoula, Montana's second most populous county and one of its most heavily Democratic, opted in to the universal vote-by-mail regime," Real Clear Investigations noted in a March 24 report.  An audit of the county's November ballot envelopes found thousands of irregularities, the report said. [...] The audit found that 4,592 out of the 72,491 mail-in ballots lacked envelopes — 6.33 percent of all votes.  Without an officially printed envelope with registration information, a voter's signature, and a postmark indicating whether it was cast on time, election officials cannot verify that a ballot is legitimate.  It is against the law to count such votes.

Rand Paul Defends State Election Reform Laws: 'Democrat Party Is the Party of Jim Crow'.  Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) rebuked President Joe Biden and other Democrats for referring to state election reforms as "Jim Crow" laws, reminding them it is their party that is the party of Jim Crow and voter suppression.  Paul urged more state legislatures during a Heritage Foundation virtual event Tuesday titled "Safeguarding Our Elections" to act to secure election integrity.  The senator also called on Americans to push their state lawmakers to pass such laws.

Media Fail — Majority Believe Cheating Affected 2020 Election Results.  [Scroll down]  As we are seeing again and again and again, no matter how hard the media coordinate their propaganda campaigns — and when I say "media," I mean ALL the corporate media in an across-the-board pile-on — they just can't seem to move the needle.  For example, Donald Trump only just barely lost the electoral college in 2020 (and as we can see from this poll, a majority appear to believe he was the victim of cheating). Gun control is going nowhere, and now, despite thousands of hours of demanding people believe otherwise, a majority still believe cheating affected the 2020 election.

Rand Paul: 2020 election fraud [was] never fully reviewed by courts.  President Donald Trump and his supporters filed dozens of legal cases challenging the 2020 election results, submitting volumes of evidence and sworn testimony from eyewitnesses to fraud.  Legacy media personalities are very fond of saying all of those cases failed.  In fact, ABC's George Stephanopoulos earlier berated Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., with, "No election is perfect.  But there were 86 challenges filed by President Trump and his allies in court, all were dismissed.  Every state certified the results.  Can't you just say the words, this election was not stolen?"  The senator pointed out at that time that the problems simply weren't addressed.  "There were lots of problems and there were secretaries of state, who illegally changed the law and that needs to be fixed, and I'm going to work harder to fix it and I will not be cowed by people saying 'Oh, you're a liar,'" Paul told the anchor.  [Video clip]

Big tech de-platforms Maricopa County election audit recruiting effort.  A group in Arizona is recruiting volunteers from all quarters of the voter spectrum to observe a complete hand audit of every vote cast in Maricopa County in the November 2020 election. [...] There was a previous audit by the county of equipment used in the November election, but it was not an audit of ballots.  Its sole charter was to audit the performance of equipment.  Generic implications that the vote itself has been forensically audited already — frequently conveyed by vague language in news reporting — are incorrect.  There is no legitimate reason to insist that the full audit of ballots not be done.  The shrieking demon chorus is out in force on social media claiming that performing an audit is the same thing as falsely alleging election fraud.  It's not, of course.  No audit is, per se, an allegation of fraud.  What every audit is, per se, is a measure to police potential fraud and ensure against it.

Maricopa County, Arizona, Ballot Audit Will Take Place At State Fairgrounds as Board of Supervisors Refuses to Permit Use of County Tabulations Center.  After a few months of back-and-forth legal battles between the Arizona state senate and the Maricopa County board of supervisors, the ballots in Arizona's most populous county are going to be audited beginning in approximately one week, April 22nd.  However, it is my opinion the Board of Supervisors is intentionally trying to set up an issue with chain-of-custody to nullify the results of the audit.  Maricopa County officials refused to allow the audit to take place in the tabulations center where the ballots are currently stored.  As a result the ballot audit will take place at the Arizona Exposition and State Fairgrounds.  The auditors are trying to be as transparent as possible knowing the outcome, if it turns out as predicted to find significant fraud, will be legally challenged.

Sen. Rand Paul to Heritage Foundation:  Courts DID NOT Fully Hear Trump's Election-Fraud Challenges.  Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) joined Hans Van Spakowsky at Heritage Foundation on Wednesday [4/14/2021] to discuss the 2020 presidential election.  Rand Paul is one of the few Republican leaders who is not afraid to question the fraud and abnormalities of the 2020 election.  Paul also argued that the courts did not fully hear President Trump's election fraud challenges which is true.  US Courts including the US Supreme Court refused to hear any of the legitimate challenges by the Trump Campaign.  Liz Cheney may be OK with this but a majority of Americans still believe the election was stolen through cheating.

Corporate America's Siege on Democracy.  Democracy is indeed under siege in states such as Georgia and Texas, but these states' new voting laws aren't the biggest assailants.  Rather, it's stakeholder capitalism — the new dogma demanding that companies no longer simply make products, but also craft our society's moral norms.  Stakeholder capitalism is now in full bloom in the Peach State and beyond.  Over 100 companies spoke out against Georgia's new voting rules.  This past weekend, dozens of CEOs gathered on Zoom to plot what Big Businesses should do next about voting laws under way in Texas and other states.  A formal joint statement is expected soon from companies ranging from PayPal to PepsiCo to T. Rowe Price Group.

Hundreds of Corporations, Including Starbucks, Netflix, Sign Letter Opposing Election Integrity Laws.  Hundreds of corporations, including Starbucks, Amazon, and Netflix, have signed a letter signaling their opposition to election integrity efforts in numerous states, promising to oppose any related legislation they deem "discriminatory."  The effort, led by former American Express chief executive Kenneth Chenault and Merck chief executive Kenneth Frazier, both of whom recently led a group of black business leaders urging corporations to take a stand against election integrity efforts, has corporations vowing to stand against "any discriminatory legislation," representing what the New York Times deemed "the broadest coalition yet to weigh in on the issue."

Mike Lindell reveals perfect timestamp correlation between late night vote 'drops' and Chinese cyberattacks.  In what may have been the most explosive interview we've done to date, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell drops bombshell after bombshell, including an exclusive explanation of evidence his team has found regarding the 2020 election.  There is a direct correlation between the vote 'drops' that occurred in the morning hours after election day and Chinese cyberattacks.  And he's bringing receipts.

The New York Times Did a Big 180 in Favor of Absentee Voting.  By making accusations of vote fraud he was not able to prove, both before and after the election, Donald Trump made it easy for his critics to dismiss as dishonest any and all concerns about election integrity.  Typical was a New York Times "fact check" from late September denouncing as "false" GOP claims that expanding access to absentee ballots and voting by mail facilitated election fraud.  "There have been numerous independent studies and government reviews finding voter fraud extremely rare in all forms," wrote Linda Qiu.  That includes "'absentee ballots' and 'vote-by-mail ballots'" between which there is "no meaningful difference."  Not only are both "secure forms of voting," according to Qiu; they are considered the "gold standard of election security."

Trump Wins In Michigan.  I have said several times that I don't know whether the Democrats stole the 2020 election, but I do know that they tried hard to steal it.  Their efforts included relaxation of voting standards, especially relating to mail-in voting, wherever they had Democratic Secretaries of State.  Typically these changes to voting procedures, not enacted by state legislatures — likely in violation of the Constitution — involved waiving a statutory requirement of witness signatures to verify the identity of the person who mailed in the ballot, or otherwise made it more difficult to check the validity of mailed ballots.  Often, as in Minnesota, such changes were made via collusive litigation supposedly adverse to a Democratic Secretary of State, but actually in corrupt cooperation with that individual who would promptly "settle" the Democrats' case by agreeing to do whatever the activist plaintiffs wanted.  This was done to make voter fraud, which favors Democrats, easier and more widespread.  The Trump campaign filed lawsuits in several jurisdictions, arguing that last-minute changes to voting procedures by Democratic Secretaries of State loyal to the Biden campaign were illegal.  Those cases are now wending their way through the courts.

Americans Aren't Stupid:  Most Americans Still Believe Democrats and Biden Cheated to Win 2020 Election.  Democrat election 'games': Late-night Atlanta, Detroit TCF Democrat ballot drop and blocking GOP Observers in every swing state.  Americans aren't stupid.  A majority of Americans believe cheating likely affected the outcome of the 2020 election.

CEOs' Surrender To The Mobocrats On The Left Will End Poorly.  Contrary to popular opinion, Georgia's law does not suppress voting — in reality it expands voting opportunities.  Even the Washington Post, a veritable Democratic Party newsletter, gave President Joe Biden four Pinocchios for his lies about the law, which were central to the widespread fabrications about it.  The left says that the law must be vilified, though.  The real reason behind the hostility is legislators' efforts to establish election integrity by requiring voters to present valid identification at the polls, which is not a new policy in the state.  Why anyone would oppose the practice of compelling voters to prove they are who they say they are is a mystery.  Unless, that is, the opponents want to steal elections, which is easier when identification isn't needed.

When HR1 Passes, We'll Need a Fair Elections Amendment.  Here are some ideas for this Fair Elections Amendment:  Section 1.  All regular elections for federal offices shall be restricted to seven consecutive in-person days ending with the first Tuesday in November.  Special elections shall likewise be restricted to seven consecutive in-person days.  All ballots must be received by official voting places by 11:59 PM on the final day of the election.  Section 2.  Voters desiring to vote by absentee ballot must request the ballot in advance.  There shall be no mass mailings of ballots to people who have not requested them.  Section 3.  Ballot harvesting shall not be permitted in any federal election.  Drop boxes for ballots shall be permitted only inside police departments and county election offices.  Section 4.  Only citizens of the United States may vote in federal elections.  Photo IDs shall be required for all voting, and these shall be provided free of charge by the relevant state.  All mail-in or absentee ballots must be accompanied by a copy of the voter's photo ID.  Section 5.  Each state shall clean up voter registration lists no later than one month before the start of the election.  All deceased persons and voters who have moved out of state shall be removed from those lists.

The Editor says...
The proposals go on for a total of sixteen sections.

I am a '2020 Doubter'.  I cannot prove my suspicion that anti-Trump forces worldwide joined together before the 2020 election to deny Trump a second term.  I cannot prove they invited China to release a biological weapon that hurt all countries except China.  I cannot prove that former President Barack Obama was at the forefront of this conspiracy.  I cannot prove that cabinet departments supposedly working for President Trump were actually undermining him every chance they got.  I cannot prove that the American government no longer serves the interests of the American people and, instead, now serves the interests of the Democratic Party and Uncle Xi Jin Ping.  I cannot prove that America, which once was a proud and independent democratic country, is now a servant of Communist Chinese interests.  I cannot prove these suspicions are true because the entities created to investigate these matters have been bought and paid for by Communist China.  Even if I could prove these things, I fear no one would care.  Then again, maybe I am wrong, and people do care.

Professor Eastman, a 2020 election insider, describes the shenanigans.  Professor John Eastman, a scholar of Constitutional law and Senior Fellow at the Claremont Institute, was hired as legal counsel by President Trump to examine possible fraudulent activities in the 2020 election.  He was invited to speak at The Steamboat Institute.  One thing that disturbed Professor Eastman was when they brought cases to the courts before the election to question non-lawmakers making these election changes, the court said the case had to be brought after the election.  Then when they brought it immediately after the election, the court, sometimes the same court, would say they should have brought the case before the election.  Then it would be dismissed.  This went on over and over.  Choosing electors is the job of the legislature.  That is under the Constitution.  It's not what happened in some cases.

Sidney Powell Goes Off on Imposter President Joe Biden.  Attorney Sidney Powell joined radio host Rose Tennent to discuss her ongoing efforts to expose the fraud in the 2020 presidential election.  During the interview, Sidney Powell predicted that Maricopa County's upcoming audit will reveal over 100,000 fraudulent ballots in Arizona.  Maybe that explains why Democrats sent their top Attorney Mark Elias to stop the audit before the fraud is revealed.

"I Was Offered $10 Million Not to Do This!" — Jovan Pulitzer on Offer to Walk Away from His Scanning the Ballots Work on 2020 Election Results.  Jovan Hutton Pulitzer was on "The Professor's Record" with professor David K. Clements from New Mexico State University.  During his interview, Pulitzer said he was recently offered $10 million to walk away from his efforts to scan the ballots and determine the number of valid votes in the 2020 election in various states.  [Video clip]

Coca-Cola, MLB, and Everyone Spreading Lies About Georgia Voting Law Should Be Ashamed of Themselves.  In recent days, prominent members of the media, government, and big business have spread a wildfire of misinformation about a newly passed voting law in Georgia.  Critics have panned the law as "Jim Crow 2.0" and "voter suppression."  President Joe Biden has denounced it as "un-American."  Corporate executives have piled on as well.  The CEOs of Atlanta-based Coca-Cola and Delta have condemned the legislation, and Major League Baseball has decided to punish Georgia by moving this year's All-Star Game out of Atlanta — a decision MLB's former commissioner, Fay Vincent, called a "serious mistake."  If these individuals actually took time to read the bill, they would learn that it makes voting easier in Georgia, not harder.

Woke CEOs Gather to Fight Against Election Integrity Laws.  Roughly 100 of America's top corporate leaders and CEOs gathered both in-person and virtually on Saturday [4/10/2021] to strategize ways to combat new election integrity laws like Georgia's H.B. 531. Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, a Yale University management professor who helped organize the meeting, framed it as a response to threats of reprisals after Georgia-based companies like Delta Air Lines, Coca-Cola, and Aflac Insurance condemned the Georgia bill.  He called election integrity measures "anti-undemocratic."

100+ Corporate Leaders Meet To Plot Opposition To Election Security Measures:  Report.  More than 100 corporate leaders met this weekend to plot their opposition to voter integrity laws across the United States following false statements made by far-left activists and top politicians like Democrat President Joe Biden.  CBS News reported that leaders from American Airlines, United Airlines, Levi Strauss & Co., Walmart, ViacomCBS, Ariel Investments, LinkedIn, Twitter, AMC Theaters, and "others" were invited to the leftist event.  Kenneth Chenault, the former chief executive of American Express Co., and Kenneth Frazier, CEO of Merck & Co., reportedly urged others to join their pressure campaign by signing onto a statement that could be released as soon as this week.

Starbucks chair encourages 100 corporate leaders on Zoom call to fight to stop voting laws being changed across the US.  More than 100 corporate leaders joined in a Zoom call on Saturday to discuss ways they could counter new voting regulations that some see as a move to reduce electoral participation.  Their call was convened in response to new rules in Georgia, signed into law by the governor on March 31, which critics say brings back Jim Crow-era restrictions.  Executives who have said they would sign on include ones from:  Pepsi, PayPal, Starbucks, AMC Entertainment, Merck, Hess and T. Rowe Price, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Sen. Lankford:  H.R.1. Makes It Easy To Vote And Easy To Cheat.  Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford (R) said people have been asking him about the H.R. 1 election bill during his travels across the state.  In a video posted by The Hill Friday, he said citizens have heard the bill is about suppressing votes, but he noted it's nothing about that.  Lankford said he's a firm believer in making it easy to vote, but hard to cheat.  However, he said H.R. 1 will make it easy to vote, easy to cheat and easy to commit fraud.  "It's going to challenge our elections from here on out and it changes a lot of our election policies, not for the better, but for the worse," Lankford stated.

Attorney Matthew DePerno Releases Michigan Elections Forensics Report: 66,194 Unregistered Ballots Tallied in Just 9 Counties.  Michigan Constitutional Attorney Matthew Deperno released his much anticipated Michigan Elections Forensics Report on Friday [4/9/2021].  Among the findings:
  •   Modem Chipsets Installed In Voting System Motherboards
  •   66,194 unregistered ballots tallied in just 9 counties.
66,194 ballot voter IDs not found in the October registration database.

The Biden Regime Is About To Be Delegitimized, And They Know It.  Today [4/7/2021] in Maricopa County, AZ, law firms aligned with the Democrat Party coup orchestrated last November threatened to sue the auditors planning to go door-to-door in AZ to verify who voted and who didn't.  Think about that.  Why [...] would you threaten to sue over such a thing?  The only answer is you don't want anyone to know about the massive election fraud that installed illegitimate Joe Biden in The White House.  In a letter emailed Tuesday to the Senate's hired auditors, attorneys for the non-profit voting-rights group Protect Democracy and three Phoenix firms warn that the auditors' plan to knock on doors to search for voters likely violates state and federal law, wrote The Gateway Pundit.  The lawyers say lawsuits could follow if the audit proceeds as planned.  In Georgia, Fulton County has played delaying tactic games as well; there is a hearing on April 13th to decide how the forensic audit of ballots at ground zero of election fraud in the Peach State moves forward.  We expect more shenanigans there too.

It Looks To Us Like Dekalb County, GA Did Order 25M Voter Registration Forms For A Population Of Less Than 1M.  CDMedia has examined additional receipts found in trash receptacles outside Dekalb County election facilities after the Biden inauguration.  The document found (in original article below) which shows Democrat-controlled county ordered 25 million voter registration applications for a population of less than one million seems to be valid.  We found other receipts from counties with populations of the same order of magnitude and the order procedure, and discount codes used are the same.  CDMedia called Dekalb County director of Voter Registration and Elections Erica Hamilton and asked her if the Nov 11th, 2020 receipt for $20M was valid.  She refused to answer and gave us a Gmail address for a PR person to answer for her.

How Georgia's Voting Law Compares to 7 Blue, Purple States' Laws.  Democrats have repeatedly denounced the new Georgia election integrity law that requires IDs for absentee ballots, but seldom criticize blue states that have comparable laws on their books — or in some cases, laws making it more difficult to vote than in Georgia.  "Overall, the Georgia law is pretty much in the mainstream and is not regressive or restrictive," Jason Snead, executive director of the Honest Elections Project, told The Daily Signal.  "The availability of absentee ballots and early voting is a lot more progressive than what's in blue states."  Here's a look at how the new Georgia election law stacks up to voting laws in Democrat-leaning blue states. [...]

The Democrats in Arizona Are Bringing in Marc Elias's Perkins Coie to Make Threats and Make the Maricopa County Audit Go Away.  Patriots in Arizona are under attack by far-left lunatics who disregard nonprofit laws to fund their anti-American actions.  The national Democratic machine is in panic mode over the Arizona Senate's Maricopa County ballot audit.  On Tuesday, the Democrats sent in national fixer attorney Marc Elias's firm Perkins Coie to throw around threats and make the audit go away.  The stakes are astronomical for the Dems, after all the November 3, 2020 election steal gained them the presidency and control of both houses.  The swing states in which the 2020 election steal occurred are key to uncovering the truth and proving the fraud in the election and Arizona is one of those states.

Five Months Since the Election, Georgia Still Lacks Legally Required Chain of Custody Documentation on 355,000 Votes.  Georgia still has over 350,000 votes (most likely nearly all for Joe Biden) that are invalid and yet were counted in the 2020 election.  These illegal ballots helped Joe Biden win Georgia by 11,000 votes.  We first reported on December 26, 2020, that Georgia had 460,000 ballots that were missing legally required chain of custody documentation from the 2020 Election.  Despite these legally required documents not being present, the Secretary of State Raffensperger and Governor Kemp (both Republicans) certified the election win for Joe Biden by 11,000 votes.

Fellow Coloradans, let's boycott the boycotters.  Joe Biden lied.  And then he lied about lying.  And then his press secretary lied about him lying about lying. [...] What Biden lied about this time was the Georgia voting law.  He said it was a Jim Crow law.  He said it closed the polls at 5 pm, right as people got off work, and he objected to the requirement for a photo ID. He said it discriminates against black voters, as if white voters don't work till 5 pm and black voters don't have ID's.  It was all a lie.  The law doesn't close the polls at 5 pm at all.  In fact, it codifies what was earlier just an informal and inconsistent tradition of keeping them open till 7 pm in most counties.  As for photo ID's, that requirement has consistently been upheld by the Supreme Court even back in the days that the Court leaned left.  In any event, studies show that photo ID requirements do not in fact impact blacks disproportionately.  The only persons disproportionately impacted by photo ID laws are voters who aren't who they say they are.  Democrats know that such criminals overwhelmingly vote Democrat.

Atlanta Mayor Lance Bottoms Signs Executive Order Circumventing GA Election Laws.  Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms (D) Wednesday signed an executive order to "mitigate the impact" of Georgia's new election integrity law, known as The Election Integrity Act of 2021.  The new election bill that Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) signed into law "... seeks to tighten up elections and reduce fraud by enforcing conformity across the state, amping up voter ID, restricting drop boxes, and expanding in-person voting, among additional election-related overhauls," The Daily Wire previously reported.  Although Georgia has received widespread criticism from a number of corporations, Kemp said he was moving forward with his decision to sign the bill into law.

Election Fraud Prosecution Reaches "All-Time High," According to Texas Officials.  If the 2020 presidential election was "the most secure election in history," then why is election fraud prosecution in Texas at an "all-time high"? [...] Despite Trump winning Texas, the state is now seeing a record level of prosecution in terms of voter fraud.

W.I.M.P. - Proof the Presidential Election Was Stolen.  A key category of election ballots cast in 2020 that has been largely overlooked in analyzing what transpired consists of Write-In and Minor Party (WIMP) votes.  An important study by retired DoD analyst Ray Blehar concludes that vote tabulation anomalies that he uncovered in Pennsylvania "are not a matter of chance and are almost certainly the result of systematic vote shifting" (stealing) of WIMP votes cast through ballot adjudication.  He further concludes that vote-shifting of WIMP ballots also took place in Arizona, Wisconsin, and Georgia because those states each had a near-zero number of Write-In absentee ballots cast.  The Minor Party votes for president were far fewer than for other same party candidates in statewide races. [...] Trump did better than expected in Ohio and Florida, while also improving over 2016 in Louisiana, Alabama, and Utah, each counted their absentee ballots BEFORE Election Day (no counting of absentee votes afterward).  In other words, whatever transpired during "the Great Pause" in counting "new" Biden votes was precluded from happening in those five states.  Is that just a coincidence?

Myth vs.  Fact: The Georgia Election Law.  The Left and their media allies have used the new Georgia election law (SB 202) signed into law last week as a pretext for their election takeover with HR. 1, leaning heavily on misconceptions, half-truths, and flat-out lies about the bill to make their case for a massive federal takeover of state election systems. [...] Myth 1:  The Georgia election law discourages voting/suppresses votes.  FACT:  The bill actually preserves or expands ballot access in several important ways:  It requires that large precincts with lines more than an hour long take steps like adding voting machines and election personnel for the next election to reduce wait times.  It does not change the number of total early voting days, and actually increases the mandatory days of early weekend voting.  Compared to 2020, 134 of 159 counties will offer more early voting hours in future elections under the new law.  It codifies election drop boxes, which did not exist prior to 2020.  Voters can continue to vote absentee with no excuse(unlike states like Delaware, New York, and Connecticut, which require an excuse to vote absentee).

Wisconsin Announces Investigation Into 2020 Election Trump Supposedly Lost.  The 2020 election still looms large over the American electorate.  Now, one major swing state is attempting to get some clarity on what went so terribly wrong.  "The Republican-controlled Wisconsin Assembly passed a resolution Tuesday to authorize an investigation into the 2020 presidential election that President Joe Biden narrowly won in the state," the AP reported.  Biden's lead over Donald Trump was fewer than 21,000 votes in Wisconsin.  The Trump legal team brought multiple lawsuits that were denied in court on various insubstantial reasons.  The audits in the state did not produce conclusive evidence of fraud.  However, this probe would be much more comprehensive and would examine numerous aspects of the election, including mail-in and absentee voting.  The lower chamber of the Wisconsin Assembly passed Assembly Resolution 15 on a party-line 58-35 vote, with all Republicans voting for it, and all Democrats voting against it.

Wisconsin Assembly Authorizes Election Investigation.  The Republican-controlled Wisconsin state Assembly has authorized an investigation into the 2020 presidential election that President Joe Biden narrowly won in the state.  The resolution, opposed by Democrats, was approved Tuesday [3/23/2021].  It is needed to give the investigating committee authorization if it decides to issue subpoenas to compel testimony and gather documents, said Rep. Joe Sanfelippo.  He is vice-chairman of the Assembly elections and campaign committee that would conduct the probe.  Donald Trump lost to Biden by fewer than 21,000 votes in Wisconsin.  The election outcome was affirmed by a partial recount and several lawsuits brought by Trump and his allies alleging wrongdoing were rejected by state and federal courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court.

The Group Threatening Arizona Auditors Is Connected to Obama, Soros, China and Biden's DOJ.  The corruption from the Obama years is not over.  It's just beginning.  The so-called "Non-For-Profit" group, the Protect Democracy Project, is now involving itself in the Arizona Senate's audit of Maricopa County.  They are connected to Obama, Soros, China, and Biden's DOJ, and are fighting to prevent an accurate count of the valid votes in the county.  Yesterday [4/6/2021] we reported that some legal firms joined the Not-For-Profit Protect Democracy Project in threatening the auditors selected in Arizona by the Senate to audit the 2020 Election results of Maricopa County.

'Legal Arguments' Used by Dem Lawyer Marc Elias Should Be a National Scandal.  As we've previously reported, the situation unfolding in Congress regarding Iowa's 2nd Congressional District is a case study in the shameless hypocrisy of the Democratic party on the issue of respecting the results of an election.  House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who pushed for President Trump's impeachment based in part on his dispute of the election results, is 100% on board with a House Administration Committee "review" of the election results in the district which saw Republican nominee Mariannette Miller-Meeks defeat Democratic nominee Rita Hart by six votes.  Miller-Meeks was certified in the state as the winner after a recount was done, and a displeased Hart chose to take her case to the Democrat-controlled House instead of the courts, naturally.

Past Time to Fight Back.  This week, on the basis of whole-cloth lies, major corporations went to political war with the state of Georgia.  The lies at issue revolved around Georgia's new voter law, characterized by both Stacey Abrams and President Joe Biden as a new form of Jim Crow.  What do these dastardly new voter restrictions do?  They require an ID number to receive an absentee ballot, with language identical to that of federal law; they bar electioneering within 150 feet of a polling place or 25 feet of voters in line, including handing out food or water for partisan purposes; they increase the number of mandatory days of weekend early voting; they preserve some drop boxes that did not exist before the pandemic; they require additional voting machines and election personnel in crowded precincts; they increase voting hours in future elections for the vast majority of counties.  These provisions are similar to the laws in a vast majority of states.  That didn't stop Democrats and the media from simply lying about the Georgia voting law.  While some in the media did point out that Biden had lied about the law's supposed crackdown on voting hours, nobody in the media treated his "Jim Crow" contentions with the sneering disrespect they so richly deserved.

'Zuckerbucks' in Pennsylvania Reveal Impact of Corporate Influence in Elections.  All eyes were on Pennsylvania during the days of ballot counting following the November presidential election, as allegations and rumors of voting irregularities spread like wildfire.  While the results ultimately were upheld, distrust in our representative government remains as does a deep suspicion that elected leaders are legitimate.  Before the next election, Pennsylvania needs to look into ways the state can protect its elections, restore confidence, and avoid this turmoil in the future.  A recent poll by the Opportunity Solutions Project reveals several commonsense steps Pennsylvania can take to safeguard its elections.  Actions that have proven to be widely popular across the political spectrum include using existing technology to livestream ballot counting and monitor ballot drop boxes, imposing penalties on officials who mislead the public, and requiring mail-in ballots to be postmarked by Election Day.

Secretary of State Says 3 Georgia Counties Violated Absentee Ballot Rules.  Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has referred three counties for investigation for violating absentee ballot regulations, he announced Wednesday [4/7/2021].  Raffensperger referred Coffee, Grady, and Taylor counties for investigation after the three counties "failed to do their absentee ballot transfer forms in violation of Georgia Rules and Regulations," per a release of the announcement.  Absentee ballot drop boxes were authorized last year by an emergency edict passed by the Georgia Election Board.  "The emergency rule required counties with drop boxes to fill out ballot transfer forms that included the date, time, location, and number of ballots in the drop boxes whenever election officials collected ballots from the drop box," the release explained.

Reluctantly?
Pennsylvania agrees to remove thousands of dead citizens from voter rolls.  The Pennsylvania Department of State has agreed to remove more than 20,000 dead voters from the state's voting rolls in a settlement reached with an election-integrity group.  The state agreed to compare its voter-registration database with the Social Security Death Index, directing all county election commissioners to remove the names of dead voters.  "This marks an important victory for the integrity of elections in Pennsylvania," said J. Christian Adams, president of the Public Interest Legal Foundation, which sued the state in October.  "The Commonwealth's failure to remove deceased registrants created a vast opportunity for voter fraud and abuse.  It is important to not have dead voters active on the rolls for 5, 10, or even 20 years.  This settlement fixes that."

Sydney Powell's most revealing interview yet.  Sydney Powell's recent interview with Dinesh D'Souza about massive election fraud is her most revealing yet.  She says she does have the evidence and explains how multi-faceted the corruption in voting was.  Under the great questioning by Dinesh, Sidney reveals the massive involvement by the Republican Party to allow the fraud election to be ended instead of pushing for answers.  And, she also explained why she is disappointed in President Trump.  [Video clip]

Biden adds stupidity to his lies about Georgia's voting laws.  As you all know by now, the Georgia Legislature looked at the inefficiencies of its elections and decided that the state could do better.  Therefore, it passed a bill expanding voting hours, increasing the number of pre-election days on which people can vote, and creating more drop box locations.  It also did away with signature analysis as a means for verifying absentee ballot requests, a method that can be arbitrary and capricious, and, instead, asked for requesters to submit some common form of identification.  It was this last request that drove leftists insane.  If voters have to submit identification, that lessens the opportunities for election fraud.  Clearly, the ability to commit fraud is an important part of the Democrat strategy for winning elections.

Jen Psaki rejects Republican claims that Colorado has 'similar' voting laws to Georgia.  White House press secretary Jen Psaki rejected Republican claims that Colorado has similar voting laws to Georgia.  She hit back at a question after the state's GOP Gov. Brian Kemp said it made 'no sense' to move Major League Baseball's All-Star Game from Atlanta to Denver.  Psaki had a tense exchange with Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy after he said the election rules in each state were 'very similar'.

Michigan's Soros Connected Secretary of State Refuses to Testify Before Michigan Senate on the State's Election Audit Process.  Michigan's Secretary of State is refusing to attend and testify in front of a Michigan Senate hearing regarding the state's election audit process. [...] It is more than likely that President Trump won the Presidential election in Michigan bigly.  The reason this was taken from him is directly related to Michigan's Secretary of State Benson.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger Files Legal Brief to Weaken Fulton County Ballot Audit.  Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has filed a legal brief to weaken an upcoming audit of suspect ballots in his latest peculiar move to stand in the way of electoral transparency.  Activists with VoterGA have pushed to subject ballots in Fulton County, GA to a forensic audit.  A judge has acquiesced to their demands, but Raffensperger is fighting to keep the ballots from being properly inspected.  The amicus brief filed by Raffensperger's office can be seen here.  "The Secretary respectfully requests that the Court permit Petitioners to inspect ballot images only, and deny Petitioners' request to inspect and scan ballots," the brief states.  "Petitioners have submitted to the Court a proposed order granting their Motion to Unseal, which would grant Petitioners sweeping and unprecedented access to all ballots," the brief adds.

Dominion demands ex-Michigan lawmaker retract voter fraud claims.  Dominion Voting Systems released a statement demanding former Michigan state Sen. Patrick Colbeck retract "false claims" he has made alleging the company of fraud in public presentations.  The company accused Colbeck of waging a "disinformation campaign" while touring the state to give presentations called "Case for MI Decertification," during which he claimed Dominion was "stealing the election" from former President Donald Trump, according to the complaint document obtained by Detroit News.

This CNN Host Exposes Liberal Lies Against Georgia Voting Law.  Over the weekend, Michael Smerconish demonstrated that his Saturday morning show is one of the few islands of credible journalism at CNN as he debunked some of the lies spouted liberals — including journalists on his own network — who have attacked Georgia's new voting law as "voter suppression[.]"  The Smerconish show began with the host putting into context the state's new rules designed to prevent political groups from using food and water distribution as a loophole to approach voters in line and underhandedly push their candidates.  He went on to admit that he has changed his mind on the law after learning more about it.  His Republican guest, Georgia election official Gabriel Sterling quipped that the CNN host "sounds way too rational to be in the news media."  After reading from existing law that forbids the targeting of voters in line for electioneering, he explained why the new rules make sense.

The Great Liberal Death Wish Enters a New Phase.  "The Great Liberal Death Wish" is Malcolm Muggeridge's famous theme, which appeared in various iterations over the years. [...] This thesis comes to mind in watching the hysterical reaction — and outright lying — by the left in reaction to Georgia's revision to its election laws, which, it must be pointed out, replicate many of the same election management features in Democratic-run states such as New York and Maryland.  Even the New York Times concludes that this is mostly much ado about nothing, while the Washington Post gave (P)resident Biden four Pinocchios for lying about the bill.  It's one thing for the partisan left to lie about the bill in order to serve the imperative of gaining and keeping power by any means necessary.  What's baseball's excuse?  Or Delta Air Lines?

Stacey Abrams Has Decided to Make Brian Kemp Governor Again.  [Scroll down]  A law with voter ID (which 60 percent of black voters in Georgia support), 17 days of early voting and an additional Sunday option, a food and water policy that matches other Democrat-run states, and several other reasonable changes.  It passed the Georgia state legislature and was signed by Kemp.  Abrams and other Democrats called it the "New Jim Crow" and pushed that narrative all across the media — all of whom were ready and willing to jump in.  Even President Joe Biden got suckered in, and his comments were actually fact-checked by the Washington Post.  There was a major push for a boycott against the major businesses, corporations, and organizations in Georgia or who did business there.  And corporations came out to blast the law, despite having been a part of the negotiations to make changes to the bill that would make it acceptable, as Kemp pointed out.

Sketchy Business:  Maricopa Arizona County Board of Elections Holds Emergency Meeting Then Refuses to Allow Election Audit In Local Facility.  If there was any doubt something fishy was happening in/around Phoenix Arizona in the 2020 election, those doubts can be eliminated.  Something sketchy is afoot.  A few weeks ago a judge agreed with the republican Arizona senate that an audit of Maricopa County ballots was justified.  The judge agreed with the Arizona Senate that subpoenas were validly presented, there was information that supported the suspicion behind that ballot audit request, and the state had authority to reach into the Maricopa county election system and audit everything, soup-to-nuts.  Then yesterday [4/1/2021] the Maricopa County election board held a closed-door emergency meeting as the Senate subpoena was about to be executed.

Amazon joins major companies slamming GOP-led voting laws.  Amazon has joined the chorus of corporations condemning Republican efforts to tighten election laws in Texas and Georgia.  The e-commerce colossus said it opposes measures "aimed at restricting the ability of Americans to vote" as the Lone Star State's Senate passed a bill that would limit access to mail-in ballots and ban drive-thru voting.  "It has been fifty-six years since the Voting Rights Act became law, yet efforts to disenfranchise Black people and other minorities continue to this day," Amazon exec Jay Carney, who served as ex-President Barack Obama's press secretary, said in a statement Thursday [4/1/2021].  "The ability to vote is one of the most prized fundamental rights in our American democracy, and Amazon supports policies that protect and expand those rights."

American Airlines Slams Texas Election Integrity Legislation.  Georgia is not the only state working on legislation to improve election integrity.  Texas made a step in the right direction on Thursday when the state Senate approved legislation that would ban mail-in drop boxes and most drive-thru voting.  The bill, SB7, was passed on a party-line vote.  The criticism of the bill is along party lines, too.  The Texas State Senate approved the legislation on April 1, a measure that Republicans say "ensures election integrity," while Democrats say it's voter suppression and makes it harder for people with disabilities and ethnic minorities to vote.  SB7 passed on a vote of 18-13.  It now goes to the Texas House of Representatives.  Committee hearings are scheduled for April 6.  There were seven hours of debate in the Senate.  The bill also limits early voting hours and makes it illegal for local election officials to proactively send applications to vote by mail to voters, even if they qualify.

"Pretty good" is a lot better than some states have now.
We Can't Settle for 'Pretty Good' When It Comes to Safeguarding Our Elections.  Georgia's election reform legislation is pretty good.  But the future of the republic is at stake, and "pretty good" isn't good enough.  Unfortunately, while the omnibus bill contains a number of laudable provisions, such as stricter ID requirements and absentee ballot safeguards, it also includes glaring flaws that could render the final product largely meaningless.  Most significantly, the language used to "ban" private funding of election administration has a loophole large enough to drive a semi-truck full of ballots through.  Although the legislation bars election officials from directly accepting private funding, the wording expressly allows funding to flow through "the governing authority of the county or municipality," which would not face such prohibitions.  The exception is presumably intended to give local governments flexibility to adapt to changing circumstances, but in practice it would merely grant permission for wealthy individuals and political activists to meddle in Georgia's elections in exactly the same way they did in 2020.

Nevada Democrats trying to make reckless voting policies permanent.  In 2020, Democrats, their media enablers and their cultural cheerleaders in entertainment and the academy assured us that the pandemic made "universal mail-in voting" and other extraordinary procedures necessary.  They said, repeatedly and self-righteously, that ballot harvesting, relaxed verification mechanisms and other erosions to basic election integrity were required because it was "too dangerous" for people to vote in person.  We now see that they do not intend to let that crisis "go to waste."  If there was ever any doubt, last year was merely the first step towards making all of those radical procedures permanent.  And it is happening right here in Nevada, right now.

Election Fraud Hotspots — 10% of the Data are 70% of the Fraud.  The more our team looked at the 2020 election fraud from publicly available records, the more it appeared to have similar characteristics to property casualty insurance fraud.  Beginning in November, like many citizens, we witnessed election fraud possibilities any sentient person would investigate.  Having backgrounds in fraud detection, particularly in the property casualty insurance business, Medicaid fraud, and cyber fraud, gave us a curiosity that never dissipated.  Our interest is 100% in data analysis.  That means looking at the actual votes, the addresses, the information about ballots reported to Secretaries of State.  While there are all kinds of other fraud, the best way to light it up is with data analysis.  Not just the statistical stuff with the graphs and Greek symbols, but old fashioned rows and columns.  Nothing illegal, just the same public data Google uses to profile someone for new running shoes.

Why all the lies about Georgia's new voting law?  To hear Democrats and the media tell it, Georgia has just undone the civil rights era. The state's new election reform law, signed by Gov. Brian Kemp, they say, is an attempt to disenfranchise millions and return to the Jim Crow era.  This narrative is both false and ridiculous.  The story, in brief, is this:  Democrats find it politically advantageous to cry that minority voters are being disenfranchised, and so they are doing so once again.  And once again, the largest media outlets are going along with the cynical ploy.  Georgia's new voting reform law contains simple, commonsense measures, most of which — and this will shock you if your understanding of the law comes from CNN or President Joe Biden — will make it easier for people to vote.  Some of its provisions rightly protect the voting process from the (very real) risk of fraud, a risk that grows as more votes are cast by mail.  But for the Left, Georgia has long been a truth-free zone, and Democrats have found this arrangement agreeable.

Iowa Democrat Drops Election Challenge Over House Race, Giving GOP Another 2020 Victory.  Iowa Democrat Rita Hart has dropped her election challenge to Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks's 2020 victory in Iowa's 2nd Congressional District.  Hart on March 31 withdrew her challenge to her state-certified, six-vote loss with the House Administration Committee.  A number of Democratic lawmakers in recent days said House leaders shouldn't attempt to overturn the election results.

Iowa Democrat Rita Hart Withdraws Challenge in Iowa House Race.  Rita Hart, the Democrat, withdrew her challenge to Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA) for an Iowa House seat Wednesday afternoon [3/31/2021].  Hart has been trying to use the Committee on House Administration to overturn the state certified election in the Second Congressional District of Iowa.

Biden Told a Lie So Big About New GA Election Law That Even The Washington Post Called Him Out.  Joe Biden recently told a lie so big about the new Georgia election laws that the far-left Washington Post called him out for it.  Washington Post Fact Checker Glenn Kessler knocked Biden for falsely claiming a new Georgia law "ends voting hours early," giving him its harshest rating of Four Pinocchios for spreading the misinformation.

Delta CEO caves to far-left boycott threat, loudly condemns Georgia fair elections law.  After leftists intent on making election fraud permanent threatened Georgia's big companies with a boycott if they didn't condemn Georgia's election integrity law, Delta was one of the first to cave. [...] The content of [Delta Air Lines CEO Ed] Bastian's statement is appalling.  He's telling us, as a guy whose airline rides require I.D. to get onto, that voters should not be required to show any identification to vote?  Or that the word of that Democrat sleazebag operative with 99 people residing in a single residence is sufficient for handing him 99 ballots?  Or that Black people are incapable of getting I.D. even though every last government service, every last airline ride, every last entry to buy a sports-event ticket, every last hospital admission, every last drive of the car somehow requires I.D. to partake?  What planet does this soft-bigotry-of-low-expectations guy live on?  His claim is flamin' hot dishonest.

Delta Airlines Caves To The Angry Mob — Calls Georgia's New Voting Law "Unacceptable".  The CEO of Delta Airlines is now calling Georgia's new voting law "unacceptable".  This is a 360-degree reversal of a statement released last Friday by the company, headquartered in Atlanta.  That was then, this is now.  There is no other way to look at a statement released today by Delta Airlines CEO Ed Bastian but to see it as a massive cave to angry Democrats looking to drive a wedge between Georgia voters.  The bill, SB 202, was signed into law last Thursday.  The next day, Bastian was taking credit for working with other Atlanta-based corporations to make sure that "some of the most egregious measures" were taken out of the bill before Governor Kemp signed it.

YouTube is like the Soviet Union, and conservatives are Voice of America.  [I]n the last two years, social media companies went from limiting access to or deleting individual posts and users to almost a full ban on conservative viewpoints. [...] The latest victim to fall to the social media totalitarianism is a conservative news and comedy host, Steve Crowder, who was forbidden to post YouTube for a week.  That suspension comes on the heels on Steve's recent Twitter ban.  Apparently, the cause for the YouTube suspension was Crowder's episode investigating individual cases of voter fraud in Nevada.  Steve's crew went to dozens of addresses in Nevada, showing that addresses were nonexistent or that people who voted from those addresses did not live there.  For each voter fraud case, Steve's episode provided a detailed explanation on how the vote that came from a particular address was invalid.  There were no "harmful or dangerous acts," "hateful and derogatory content," or "violence" in the video.  Everything contained in the video was verified, so there was no false information, either.  Steve went farther to explain that YouTube had cleared the episode, because no assertion of "widespread voter fraud affecting the outcome of the election" was made in the video.

Arizona Senate Republicans Courageously Announce Team Who Will Perform Maricopa County Election Audit and It's Good News for America!.  Finally, we have some great news to share!  The Republican Senate in Arizona made the courageous decision patriots around the country have been hoping for.  These Republicans decided upon the team who will be performing the upcoming audit in Maricopa County and it's an excellent list of entities. [...] The Republican Senate in Arizona has more courage today than all the politicians in the entire country combined.  Democrats should have been on board today and the fact that they are absent indicates that they are complicit if any wrongdoing is uncovered.

Sorting fact from fiction in Georgia voting law debate.  A voting reform bill in Georgia has sparked lawsuits, boycotts, and mass outrage among Democrats, who describe the law as a revival of Jim Crow-era racism.  But much of the heated rhetoric surrounding the bill, which Republican Gov. Brian Kemp signed into law on Thursday, misrepresents what the reforms will accomplish.  The debate over whether Georgia's law constitutes "despicable voter suppression," as Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, has claimed, or necessary updates to the state code is significant.  Democrats in Washington have used the specter of the law to push a sweeping federal bill aimed at overhauling all elections.  They have even threatened to weaken or end the filibuster in order to pass the bill, known as H.R. 1, to fight what they have characterized as racism in the way states like Georgia want to conduct their elections.

Biden Puts Susan Rice in Charge of Effort to Expand Vote by Mail.  President Joe Biden put controversial former national security adviser Susan Rice in charge of directing hundreds of federal agencies and departments to expand access to mail-in voting.  Biden signed an executive order in March that put Rice, now the assistant to the president for domestic policy, in charge of soliciting strategies from federal agencies to produce "relevant information" on expanded voting registration procedures.  Federal agencies must submit to Rice "a strategic plan outlining the ways identified under this review that the agency can promote voter registration and voter participation" within 200 days under the terms of the order.  "Agencies shall consider ways to expand citizens' opportunities to register to vote and to obtain information about, and participate in, the electoral process," the order states.

CBS Repeatedly Lobbies:  Why Not Just Boycott Georgia Over GOP Voting Law?  It's not enough to trash Georgia's new voting law as racist, now the hosts of CBS This Morning are prompting business leaders to encourage a boycott.  After prominent African American CEOs placed an ad in The New York Times calling for corporate America to speak out, Gayle King demanded they do more.  Talking to a former CEO of Xerox, King pressed, "Ursula Burns, there was no call for a boycott even though other people are calling for boycotts.  Why was the decision not to go that far?"  After reading a quote from a full page ad appearing in The New York Times, King underlined, "But they do not call for an outright boycott of the state."

Never Explained:  Nine Times on 2020 Election Night on Live TV a Total of Nearly 400,000 Votes Disappeared From President Trump's Column.  We've located a video showing nine different instances where the vote counts for President Trump were reduced live on TV on Election Night 2020.  We were aware of five or six instances but nine instances is a new total.  We'd reported on numerous instances where vote counts for President Trump were decreased live on TV on Election Night.  We had identified the following instances previously wherein all cases votes were reduced from President Trump's tally.  We called these reductions 'glitches' and began to believe this was more than reporting issues, it looked to be more a strategy to steal the election:  [Tweet]  Now today we have identified another video that shows nine instances where President Trump's totals were reduced on election night on live TV:  [Video clip]

Welcome to the Soviet States of Ameristan.  How many times must our Swamp Lords tell us before we finally understand?  Questioning the legitimacy of the 2020 election will not be tolerated, and doing so is an unequivocal attack upon our "democracy" — whatever that is.  (I believe it's now defined as a system for Democratic Party operatives to use unverified and untraceable mail-in ballots to rig elections in their favor while hiding behind fatuous allegations that state deadlines, photo identification, signature verification, or any other security method used to filter out fraudulent ballots is actually a product of white supremacy.  In fact, I'm pretty sure the Democrats' position on "democracy" at this point is simple: unless they are allowed to commit voter fraud in order to win elections, the whole electoral system is inherently racist.  They sure are reasonable rulers.)

The Supreme Court:  Cowards, Crooks, or Compromised?  The Court's unwillingness to make any decisions regarding the presidential election of 2020 is a historic failure. [...] One could argue, successfully, that January 6 on the Washington Mall happened because of the lack of integrity and guts in the Supreme Court.  Because of their blatant disassociation with being a coequal branch with the presidency and Congress, the Court has lost enormous respect from half of America. [...] From the five to six purple battleground states, there were obviously enough questions, doubts, and sworn witnesses to at least hear the evidence in the cases.  There was so much smoke out there in terms of possible election irregularities that the Supreme Court had ample reason and cause to see if there was in fact a roaring blaze.  But yet a majority of the Court refused to hear it.

Mail-In Voting Audit of Montana's 2020 Elections Finds Significant Number of Irregularities.  [Scroll down]  The audit consisted of both a count and review of all ballot envelopes and comparing that to the number of officially recorded votes during the Nov. 3, 2020, general election.  Its conclusions were troubling: 4,592 out of the 72,491 mail-in ballots lacked envelopes — 6.33% of all votes.  Without an officially printed envelope with registration information, a voter's signature, and a postmark indicating whether it was cast on time, election officials cannot verify that a ballot is legitimate.  It is against the law to count such votes.  What's more, according to auditors, county employees claimed that during the post-election audit, some of the envelopes may have been double-counted, possibly indicating an even higher number of missing envelopes.  Auditors also tested a smaller, random sub-sample of 15,455 mail-in envelopes for other defects.  Of these, 55 lacked postmark dates and 53 never had their signatures checked — for a total of 0.7% of all ballots in the sample.

Voting Rights Groups File Second Lawsuit Against Georgia's Over Election Law and We Already Know What They Are Claiming.  From the moment Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed a comprehensive elections bill into law, it was obvious the left would attack the legislation in the courts.  Now, several so-called "voting rights" groups have filed a series of lawsuits against the measure, claiming it is an attempt to prevent black residents from voting.  The Hill reported that "The complaint alleges that the law is the culmination of a 'concerted effort' by Kemp and Republican state lawmakers in a 'to suppress the participation of Black voters and other voters of color.'  It claims the restrictions are a GOP response to demographic changes that contributed to the state favoring Democratic candidates in recent elections."  The law was passed amid a national debate over election integrity.  Many believe that President Joe Biden's victory was a result of voter fraud and the Republican leadership of Georgia's state government has been under scrutiny for their handling of the election.

S1 Slammed As 'Political Corruption' As Republicans Go All-In On Attacking Dems' Election Reform Bill.  Republicans are launching a full-court press against the congressional Democrats' wide ranging election and campaign finance reform bill.  "It's political corruption," the announcer charges in a new commercial that is part of a major ad blitz by the National Republican Senatorial Committee starting Monday.  "Stop the grab.  Stop the fraud."  The Senate GOP reelection arm is spending seven figures to run the spots in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and New Hampshire, four states they hope to flip from blue to red in the 2022 midterms, when Republicans will aim to win back the majority in both the Senate and the House of Representatives.

The 'Pathetic' Genesis of a Fake News Story.  In a headline clearly designed to prompt outrage, CNN recently claimed that "Sidney Powell argues in new court filing that no reasonable people would believe her election fraud claims."  Similarly, CBS News asserted that "Sidney Powell tells court 'no reasonable person' would take her voter fraud claims as fact."  The implication is that Powell, one of the most prominent critics of the 2020 presidential election, who has been outspoken in her claims that Joe Biden's victory was secured through outright fraud involving, in particular, illegal and malicious manipulation of the vote-counting machines, has now repudiated those claims. [...] Powell has not, in any way, retreated from her claims.  In spite of the assurances to the contrary from Democrats and the mainstream media, uncertainties remain about the integrity of Biden's election as president.  Prominent among these is the operation of the software and hardware provided by the "election infrastructure company Dominion Voting Systems," which has sued Powell for defamation for her public assertions that Dominion's machines were used as instruments of fraud.

The New York Times Can't Get Basic Facts Right on Election Reform.  Not surprisingly, The New York Times is pushing liberal talking points when it falsely asserts in an article from Tuesday that reforms by state legislatures to remedy the vulnerabilities in their election laws are "voting restrictions."  Trying to guarantee the fairness and integrity of the election process, when polling shows a large number of Americans have lost confidence in the security of our system, isn't "rolling back access to voting," as the Times put it.  It is ensuring that every eligible voter is able to vote, and that their vote isn't stolen or diluted due to errors or fraud.  What does The New York Times categorize as a "voting restriction" that is "rolling back access to voting"?  One example, according to the Times, is a new Arizona law just signed into law by Gov. Doug Ducey that "requires the secretary of state to compare death records with voter registrations."

'He's toast': GOP leaves Raffensperger twisting in the wind.  The former president is obsessed with defeating him next year.  He's getting mauled by his own state party.  Last week alone, a Republican congressman announced he'd challenge in the primary and the state legislature voted to strip his office of some official powers.  By most accounts, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger doesn't have a prayer of being reelected.  "He's toast," said Jay Williams, a Georgia-based Republican strategist.  "I don't know that there's a single elected official who would put their neck out for Brad Raffensperger right now."

Lonestar Bias:  Texas Election Officials Received $36 Million to Turn State Blue.  A new report documents that private foundations spent more than $36 million to pay local election offices in Texas to alter policies and practices in the 2020 election.  The money was overwhelmingly spent in solid Democratic strongholds and designed to maximize turnout in these Biden-leaning jurisdictions.  The money was concentrated in Dallas, Houston, Austin, and the Rio Grande Valley, according to a new report. [...] Documents from Texas county election officials obtained for the Public Interest Legal Foundation report show that the private dollars were focused on adopting procedures not always consistent with Texas law and practices, such as drive-through voting and voting by mail for any reason, contrary to Texas law.  In other words, the private dollars were used in a way to pressure officials to alter existing Texas election procedures adopted by the Texas legislature.

The States Must Resist the Federal Takeover of Elections.  Although federal courts certainly played their part, the main malefactors in the sham that was the 2020 presidential election were "the several States."  Through their court mandates, their gubernatorial malfeasance, and, especially their new election laws, the states created the changes by which an election could be stolen and democracy could be subverted.  The changes that determined the outcome of the election were primarily in the key battleground states.  But now the feds want to get in on the action and impose the 2020 changes to election law of the battleground states on the entire nation.  It's often noted that the states created the federal government.  But in doing so, the states did not surrender their own sovereignty.  The federal government under the new Democrat majority in Congress now seeks to federalize elections and to abolish state election laws.  That would end the sovereignty of the states.  The states need to resist and even preempt this un-American power grab.

When The Powerful Say Truth Is A Lie And Lies Are The Truth, No One Will Stand Up For America But You.  Open The New York Times' politics page Thursday morning and the top headline reads, "Democrats Begin Push For Biggest Expansion In Voting Since 1960s." It's a story about the most important election power-grab in modern legislative history, with a slim, partisan majority of senators seeking to wrest control of elections away from state governments to ensure Democrat control for decades to come.  For starters, H.R. 1 will ban voter ID requirements, mandate early voting windows, allow outside activist groups to deliver votes for counting, do away with notarized absentee ballots, force states to accept absentees for 10 days after an election is over, narrow the Federal Election Commission by one member to allow for partisan control, mandate counting illegal aliens in voting districts, allow the IRS to investigate non-profits' political ideas, and make it nearly impossible to sue over the new rules.

Georgia Drives Democrats Insane.  The 2020 election was controversial for the state of Georgia, as many questions were raised about the integrity of the vote.  There were concerns about a multitude of issues such as the possibility that ballots were scanned multiple times to questions about mysterious suitcases of votes being counted after GOP observers were no longer present.  Absentee and mail-in ballots were also counted despite the lack of voter identification requirements.  Due to concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic, 1.3 million voters in Georgia mailed in absentee ballots in the 2020 election.  With the changes and confusion, there was a long delay in the election results being certified.  While Georgia officials claimed that the results were accurate, many Republicans were upset and demanded that the 2020 election issues be addressed in new legislation.  In response, the Georgia Assembly passed an election reform bill.  It received strong support from Georgia Republicans but was opposed by state Democrats.

President Joe Fraud attacks Georgia for passing election integrity law.  Joe Biden, who was elected on a raft of election irregularities, is unusually upset about Georgia's legislative effort to clean up its voting system. [...] He doesn't like voter ID. He doesn't like election day, he wants election season extended and extended to give Democrats time to get the result they want.  He wants those cronies on the election board calling the shots, not the Constitutionally-tasked legislature.  He wants unsupervised drop boxes left around for anything to happen overnight.  Kind of like those Atlanta midnight suitcases.  Right now, he's distorting and spinning, though, going for the lo-fo vote, claiming the cruel Georgia legislature won't permit water to thirsty voters waiting in line in the hot sun.  The legislature had good reasons to do this — it's a bid to prevent illegal campaigning in line.  After all, free water is an emolument, a cheap one for sure.  But as is commonly known in Latin America at least, some voters can be bought with a bag of beans.  Hugo Chavez used to hand out washing machines.  The Democrats would like to get the camel's nose under the tent, starting with bottled water.

Biden Lashes Out at New Election Integrity Law That Would Restrict Drop Boxes, Mail-in Ballots.  President Joe Biden lashed out at the Georgia election integrity measures signed into law by the state's governor Brian Kemp on Thursday [3/25/2021].  "Do you have a comment on the new Georgia election law, Mr. President?" a reporter asked.  "Say again?" Biden asked.  "The new Georgia election law?" the reporter asked again.  "It's an atrocity," Biden responded.  "The idea — if you want any indication that it has nothing to do with fairness, nothing to do with decency, they passed a law saying you can't provide water for people standing in line while they're waiting to vote.  You don't need anything else to know that this is nothing but punitive design to keep people from voting.  You can't provide water for people about to vote.  Give me a break."  [Video clip]

Biden Goes Berserk on Georgia Election Law.  President Joe Biden railed against Georgia's new voter integrity law on Friday, slamming the law as "un-American," "a blatant attack on the Constitution and good conscience," and "Jim Crow in the 21st Century." Biden repeated false claims about Georgia's elections system and mischaracterized key parts of the bill.  Biden celebrated the record number of voters in the 2020 election and claimed that "recount after recount and court case after court case upheld the integrity and outcome of a clearly free, fair, and secure democratic process."  He did not mention the last-minute election rules changes due to COVID-19 or the Time expose about a "conspiracy" to "save" the election for Biden.  While efforts to contest election results failed in court, that is not the same thing as proving a "secure" process.  Glossing over well-founded concerns, Biden condemned Georgia Republicans for rushing through "an un-American law to deny people the right to vote."

McConnell, Senate GOP Demand Corporations Halt Donations To Democrats Trying To Steal Iowa House Seat.  Major corporations quickly came out with announcements of pausing donations to Republican lawmakers who voted against certifying Joe Biden's election victory in January.  Specifically, the closing of the corporate coffers was a reaction to the Capitol Hill riot on January 6. Now there is a House race in Iowa which Democrats are trying to steal from the Republican who has been certified by state officials as the winner.  Senate Republicans, including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, now demand that turnabout is fair play.  If the corporations making a statement against overturning the results of an election are sincere, it should not be a problem to speak out against a brazen power grab by House Democrats.  In this case, the House seat being challenged is held by Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks.  Her victory in Iowa's 2nd Congressional district, by just six votes, was certified and she was seated by Speaker Pelosi.  Miller-Meeks' Democrat opponent, however, is continuing to claim that the election results should not be certified because she challenges 22 votes in her race.

Joe Biden's sorriest press conference lies.  [Scroll down]  There's also Biden's claim that Republicans are trying to limit voting rights to Americans, through such supposedly outrageous measures such as requiring voter ID, ending same day registration voting, purging voter rolls of dead people, sharing data between states about people registered to vote in multiple states, restoring election day over election season, and prohibiting ballot-harvesting.  He called it 'sick,' 'despicable,' and 'un-American,' and naturally, was projecting.  Biden alluded to Democrats' masterplan to rig U.S. elections the same way they are rigged in one-party blue state California in the infamous bill that passed in the House, H.R.1, and sought to whip up support for it through false narratives to be repeated by the beating flippers of the trained seal press.

A No-Fly Voter List?  Now There's a Grand Idea!  [Scroll down]  When we heard the idea, during an election fraud investigation meeting, we thought it was grand because the people in the room built the technology used for the government's No Fly List. [...] It gets better.  Hey, this is public data.  We are just enriching it with cross-database search.  Just like the No Fly List.  We aren't saying someone committed fraud, we are just pointing out they are 16 years old, their address is a P.O. Box, or a vacant lot, and they cast 11 ballots.  Let's not judge here!  If it's public data that Billy voted in Texas and Louisiana, who cares?  Well, Billy may care when cross-database search shows his neighbors he did it on the same day, twice each time.  Look, here's Jack, he was born in 1776, maybe he knew George Washington!  Wow, look at Sebastian, he has 761 people living in his two-bedroom condo.  Pablo, we thought he lived in Texas; hmmm, he voted in seven states last year, really interesting.  Dolores and Trish have been dead since 1936, but still vote in every election, that's it, girls!

GOP Gov. Kemp Signs Massive Election Integrity Bill; Protesting Democrat Cuffed Outside Kemp's Office.  Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) signed the Republican-backed "Election Integrity Act of 2021," or SB 202, into law Thursday as Democratic lawmakers protested the bill.  The legislation seeks to tighten up elections and reduce fraud by enforcing conformity across the state, amping up voter ID, restricting drop boxes, and expanding in-person voting, among additional election-related overhauls.  "With Senate Bill 202, Georgia will take another step toward ensuring our elections are secure, accessible and fair," Kemp said Thursday.  "Ensuring the integrity of the ballot box isn't partisan, it's about protecting the very foundation of who we are as Georgians and Americans."  The bill's provisions add ID requirements for absentee-by-mail ballots; when Georgians return their ballots, they will be required to use a form of identification to verify who they are.  As noted by NPR, this change "replaces the controversial method that has election workers match signatures on applications and ballot envelopes with those on file."

Stark BOE gives county commissioners ultimatum over Dominion voting machines.  The Stark County Board of Elections moved Friday [3/26/2021] to initiate a lawsuit against the county commissioners if they don't approve funding to buy Dominion voting machines by their regular board meeting next week. [...] In Ohio, each of its 88 counties have an elections board that has two Democrats and two Republicans and each staff position of the boards of elections have a Democratic and Republican counterpart.

Wisconsin Republicans Launch Investigation of 2020 Election.  Pushing back against claims of "conspiracy theories" from Democrats, the chair of the Wisconsin Assembly's Campaign and Elections Committee pledges the panel will get answers to integrity questions surrounding last year's elections.  "We're going to pursue it and we're going to get to the bottom of it," state Rep. Janel Brandtjen, R-Menomonee Falls, said Tuesday during debate over a resolution that directs the committee to "investigate the administration of elections in Wisconsin."  The committee in particular will focus on "elections conducted after January 1, 2019."  There will be an emphasis on the myriad concerns that arose in November's presidential election, as evidenced by the alarming level of involvement by liberal third-party groups in Green Bay and elsewhere.

First battlefront drawn in Georgia in epic fight over future of American elections.  Over just a few hours Thursday, Georgia's Legislature and Gov. Brian Kemp drew the first battle line in the high-stakes struggle to decide how American voters will cast ballots in the future after the pandemic-ridden election of 2020.  The Republican-controlled state put itself firmly in the camp of voter ID requirements, limited drop boxes and expanded weekend voting.  And depending on the eye of the beholder, it was either a win for election integrity or a return to the era of Jim Crow voter suppression.  And the debate may be coming soon to a ballot box near you, as conservatives like Heritage Action for America and liberals like Stacey Abrams' Fair Fight gird to fight the issues in all 50 states and in Congress, likely all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

McConnell says Dems trying to use power to help 'win elections in perpetuity' with HR1, DC statehood.  Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, in a podcast released Tuesday, argued Democrats are trying to use the levers of power to give them a long-term political advantage despite the fact they hold the slimmest of majorities in both the House and Senate.  McConnell spoke on the conservative "Ruthless" podcast, where he assailed Democrats over their planned bills on elections, H.R. 1 and S. 1; attempts to add new states to the Union; efforts to remove the legislative filibuster and more.  "They want to change the system to benefit themselves and they want to have instead of a referee they want the FEC to be a prosecutor," McConnell, R-Ky., said, referencing HR. 1 and S. 1.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signs sweeping election rule changes into law.  Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp on Thursday [3/25/2021] signed sweeping changes to the state's election rules into law.  The package approved by the Senate earlier this month imposes voter ID requirements, limits ballot drop boxes and allows the state to take over local elections.

9 Highlights From Senate Hearing on Federal Takeover of Elections.  Lawmakers listened to ominous references to the South's Jim Crow era and Maoist China as the Senate held its first hearing on Democrats' legislation to nationalize elections while eliminating voter ID and most other state election safeguards.  "This bill has rightly been called the Corrupt Politicians Act because it is designed to keep corrupt politicians in office," Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said as he denounced the legislation.  The hearing Wednesday [3/24/2021] also saw the return of former Attorney General Eric Holder to Capitol Hill to advocate passage of Democrats' bill, and in particular changing how congressional districts are redrawn.  Holder insisted that voter fraud "simply doesn't exist."  And Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer demanded at one point:  "I would like to ask my Republican colleagues, why are you so afraid of democracy?"

Chuck Schumer:  State Voting Laws 'One of the Greatest Threats We Have to Modern Democracy in America'.  Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) likened basic election integrity measures embraced by several states, such as voter ID, to the era of Jim Crow and accused the GOP of attempting to suppress voters.  He made the remarks during Wednesday's Senate Rules and Administration Committee hearing on S 1, or the "For the People Act," which critics warn will strip power from the states and federalize U.S. elections.  Speaking to his colleagues during the hearing, Schumer blasted Republican state legislatures, such as Georgia's, for pursuing basic election integrity measures, calling it "infuriating" and accusing Republicans of being "afraid" of democracy and trying to prevent people from voting.

Who Benefited from the Canceling of Congress's 2020 Election Probe?  President Donald J. Trump and his millions of supporters had high hopes for the process that was about to begin on January 6, 2021 in the Capitol Building.  Starting at 1 P.M. that day and continuing over the next 12 to 16 hours in front of millions of viewers worldwide, Congress would begin an extensive examination of evidence presented by Trump's congressional allies of voter irregularities in the battleground states of Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, and Nevada that they believed cost Trump the election. [...] Trump and his congressional allies had the political winds at their backs.  By December, a large plurality of Americans had been exposed to enough information about 2020 voter irregularities to be convinced that election fraud had placed Joe Biden in the White House.  The morning of January 6, tens of thousands of Trump-supporters gathered at the Ellipse to hear President Trump describe for them and for the millions in the TV audience the evidence Trump's congressional allies were about to present.  We all know what happened next.  Demonstrators gathered 1.5 miles from the Ellipse were somehow able, inexplicably, to breach the Capitol Building barricades and enter the building itself.  As a result of the ensuing chaos at the Capitol, any hope that legislators and a global audience of millions would hear definitive evidence of voter irregularities in the 2020 presidential election was dashed.

TGP's Jim and Joe Hoft Release Exclusive Content at Regent University Election Integrity Conference.  Former US Representative and current Dean of the Robertson School of Government at Regent University held the first of its kind Election Integrity Conference at Regent University Tuesday, March 23rd, from noon to 7 PM.  The Gateway Pundit's Jim and Joe presented at the online conference on Tuesday.  We put together an hour-long presentation on the evidence of fraud, irregularities and what we believe was criminal activity in the 2020 election.  [Video clip]

Dominion escalates, sues Fox News in $1.6 billion defamation claim.  As targets go, it's second only to You Know Who, but the fights get tougher as Dominion Voting Systems goes up in weight class.  The company filed a $1.6 billion defamation claim against Fox News this morning — the first time it's gone after a media company. [...] This might be the legal equivalent of tilting at windmills.  Suing Sidney Powell, Mike Lindell, and Rudy Giuliani targets the sources of the defamation; Fox News was arguably just an enthusiastic consumer of those conspiracy theories.  In some cases with its hosts, very enthusiastic, as the lawsuit contends, but the media outlet exists to report news.

Biden Unhinged:  Calls Attempts To Stop Election Fraud 'Sick' And 'Un-American'.  "Un-American."  "Sick."  "Despicable."  What got President Joe Biden in such a lather?  Was it the children packed liked sardines at border detention facilities?  The recent mass shootings?  China's human rights abuses?  Nope.  Biden flew off the handle over the fact that several states are taking steps to reform their election laws in ways he doesn't like.  "What I'm worried about is how un-American this whole initiative is.  It's sick," he said.  "It's sick ... deciding in some states that you can't bring water to people standing in line waiting to vote.  Deciding you're going to end voting at five o'clock when working people are just getting off work.  Deciding that there will be no absentee ballots under the most rigid circumstances."  "The Republican voters I know find this despicable," he added later.  "Republican voters."

Major Swing State Announces Investigation Into 2020 Election Trump Was Said to Have Lost.  The 2020 election still looms large over the American electorate.  Now, one major swing state is attempting to get some clarity on what went so terribly wrong.  "The Republican-controlled Wisconsin Assembly passed a resolution Tuesday to authorize an investigation into the 2020 presidential election that President Joe Biden narrowly won in the state," the AP reported.  Biden's lead over Donald Trump was fewer than 21,000 votes in Wisconsin.  The Trump legal team brought multiple lawsuits that were denied in court on various insubstantial reasons.  The audits in the state did not produce conclusive evidence of fraud.  However, this probe would be much more comprehensive and would examine numerous aspects of the election, including mail-in and absentee voting.

Ted Cruz: 'For the People Act' Enables Democrats to 'Throw Out the Ballots They Don't Like'.  Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) revealed Democrat-proposed legislation would "mandate ballot harvesting" without "supervision" during Wednesday's Senate Rules Committee hearing on S.1, the "For the People Act."  Cruz said of the bill, which contains unpopular provisions with Biden voters, Latino citizens, and black Americans, that Democrats "want to strike down every photo ID law in the country to encourage voter fraud."  Adding, "This bill mandates ballot harvesting!"  [Video clip]

A River of Doubt Runs Through Mail Voting in Montana.  A mountainous, 2,600-square-mile region with a population of approximately 119,600 does not seem like your prototypical setting for machine politics.  Yet a recent audit of mail-in ballots cast there found irregularities characteristic of larger urban centers — on a level that could have easily swung local elections in 2020, and statewide elections in cycles past.  The Biden administration, the Democrat-controlled Congress, and the Democratic National Committee are collectively pressing to both nationalize, and make permanent, many of the extraordinary pandemic-driven voting measures implemented during the 2020 election — particularly mass mail-in voting.  Political leaders and prominent media outlets have dismissed concerns raised by critics that such measures invite voter fraud.  But could the election in small-county Missoula call all that into question?

The 'Scan the Ballots' Effort Is Moving Forward In Georgia Involving Jovan Pulitizer's Technique of Forensically Reviewing Ballots from the 2020 Election.  A recount is in the works in Georgia.  A week ago we reported that a judge agreed that the group "Voter GA" could inspect Fulton County Georgia ballots from the 2020 election: [...] The inspection is moving forward as Jovan Pulitzer is asking for volunteers for a recount in Fulton County Georgia.

Democrats' Operative Got Secret Internet Connection at Wisconsin Election Center, Emails Show.  A veteran Democratic operative intricately involved in Green Bay's November election was given access to "hidden" identifiers for the internet network at the hotel convention center where ballots were counted, according to emails obtained by Wisconsin Spotlight.  Green Bay city officials insist the presidential election was "administered exclusively by city staff."  But the emails show that Michael Spitzer-Rubenstein, Wisconsin state lead for the National Vote at Home Institute, had a troubling amount of contact with election administration Nov. 4.  "I'll have my team create two separate SSID's for you," Trent Jameson, director of event technology at Green Bay's Hyatt Regency and KI Convention Center, where the city's Central Count was located on Election Day, wrote to Spitzer-Rubenstein.  SSID stands for Service Set Identifier.  It's an internet network's name.  Open up the list of Wi-Fi networks on your laptop or phone, and the list of SSIDs will pop up.  Wireless router or access points broadcast SSIDs so nearby devices can find and display any available networks.

Republican-Controlled Wisconsin Assembly Authorizes Investigation of 2020 Presidential Election.  The Republican-controlled Wisconsin state assembly on Tuesday [3/23/2021] passed a resolution to authorize an investigation into the 2020 presidential election.  The resolution passed on a 58-35 party-line vote.  The committee will now have subpoena power to compel testimony and gather documents.

'Corrupt Politicians Act' Rigs Elections for the Radical Left.  Democrats are gearing up to try to radically transform our election system and lock in majorities at every level of elected government for decades to come.  Democrats call this bill the For the People Act, or HR 1, but a more appropriate name would be the Corrupt Politicians Act because it's designed by the politicians, of the politicians, and for the politicians. [...] This bill eliminates countless state election integrity laws, including Texas' and other states' voter ID laws, and replaces them with a set of new laws negotiated by Democrat operatives and radical left-wing activists.  The fact is, Democrats are furious that, last fall, Republicans won control of legislatures across the country, so now they're trying to use control of the federal government to eliminate states' common-sense election laws.

H.R. 1 is Emblematic of the Crisis of American Democracy.  There is no evidence at all after 60 days of the new administration, of any disposition to collaborate with moderate Republicans in a centrist response to the many policy challenges the administration faces. [...] The ancient concept of Election Day is to be reconfigured as a moving 25-day period, and ballot harvesting is to be enthusiastically engaged in with full official approval.  In the name of defeating "voter suppression," which is the Democrats' definition of any attempt to ensure that the Constitution is honored by holding fair elections in which only citizens vote in their rightful places on Election Day, the Democrats are planning to ensure that they never lose a federal election again.

Fulton County, GA Internal Election Emails Show Most Poll Workers Sent Home Late, Except For Ruby And Her Overnight 'Counters'.  John Solomon's Just The News has obtained emails and affidavits from Fulton County, GA from Nov 3rd of last year during the 2020 U.S. general election that show county poll officials ordered everyone home (including GOP monitors) while a small team remained behind scanning ballots.  Surveillance video from State Farm Arena appear to show workers pulling ballots from under tables and scanning the same ballots multiple times during the night.  News reports stated that over 100,000 ballots were scanned without GOP monitors present during the night. [...] GA Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has refused to investigate the obvious criminal activity in Fulton County during the election.  In fact, Raffensperger's office was just caught lying at the transcript of a call with President Trump to hurt him with public opinion post-election, then attempting to destroy the evidence by deleting the audio file.

Sidney Powell Tells Judge 'No Reasonable Person' Would Believe Her Dominion Conspiracy Theories Were 'Statements of Fact'.  Facing more than $1.3 billion in liabilities over her post-election conspiracy theories, lawyer Sidney Powell told a judge that the defamation lawsuit Dominion Voting Systems filed against her earlier this year should be dismissed because "no reasonable person" would believe that her well-publicized comments about an international plot against former President Donald Trump were "statements of fact."  "Given the highly charged and political context of the statements, it is clear that Powell was describing the facts on which she based the lawsuits she filed in support of President Trump," her attorneys wrote in a 54-page motion to dismiss on Monday [3/22/2021], noting that Dominion characterized her theories as "wild accusations" and "outlandish claims."  "They are repeatedly labelled 'inherently improbable' and even 'impossible,'" the motion to dismiss continues, referring to the conspiracy theories peddled by Powell, her law firm and her non-profit group Defending the Republic.  "Such characterizations of the allegedly defamatory statements further support defendants' position that reasonable people would not accept such statements as fact but view them only as claims that await testing by the courts through the adversary process."

New emails deepen the mystery surrounding election night in Fulton County.  Fulton County, Georgia, was one of the locations that had a lot of mystery surrounding its vote counting on election night.  Poll workers sent observers home that night, yet they continued counting votes for hours afterward — a count that shot Biden, who had been trailing, into the winner's circle.  Georgia's officials vigorously denied all wrongdoing.  However, emails that John Solomon's outlet, Just the News, obtained via a public records request seem to support Republican concerns. [...] The short version is that, at 10:00 p.m., a poll worker sent election observers home, saying that vote counting would stop due to a burst pipe.  The video showed, however, that once the observers had left, several poll workers pulled boxes of ballots out from under tables and began running them through the scanners that count votes.  Some poll workers were seen repeatedly running the same ballots through the machine.  It's estimated that they counted 15,000-20,000 ballots.  After the election, Georgia officials claimed that what happened — observers kicked out and counting continuing — was all perfectly normal.

Arizona's GOP-led Senate to hand count 2.1 million Maricopa ballots in presidential race.  Republicans in the Arizona legislature will perform a full hand recount of the nearly 2.1 million votes cast in Maricopa County in the 2020 presidential election of, a state GOP leader announced this week.  Arizona Senate President Karen Fann said in a statement released by Arizona Senate Republicans that state GOP leaders have decided on a "preferred forensic audit" the final details of which are currently being worked out.  "The audit will be broad and detailed," Fann said.  "[T]he team will include, but is not limited to, testing the machines, scanning the ballots, performing a full hand count and checking for any IT breaches.

Judge Rules Michigan Secretary Of State Violated State Law With Absentee Ballot Order.  A Michigan judge ruled last week that Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson violated state law when she circumvented the legislature with unilateral orders on absentee voting.  Last year, as Democrats across the country implemented last-minute rule changes ahead of the November election, Benson issued a directive that local clerks count with a presumption of validity.  "Signature review 'begins with the presumption that' the signature on an absentee voter ballot application of envelope is valid," Benson ordered in October.  Only ballots signed with "multiple significant and obvious" inconsistencies ought to go under further review.  Detroit-area Judge Christopher M. Murray, however, ruled last week that Benson's order violated the Michigan Administrative Procedures Act (APA).  Murray argued Benson's instructions were "rules" passed without following the proper procedures in place.

Corrupt GA Secretary Of State Goes After Attorney Lin Wood For Voter Fraud, Doesn't Investigate Obvious Election Fraud.  Attorney Lin Wood, who famously went after the massive election fraud which occurred on Nov 3rd in the state of Georgia, where videos exist of Fulton County election workers scanning ballots multiple times after removing GOP monitors in the middle of the night, is being investigated for voter fraud by the office of the GA Secretary of State.  Wood mocked the investigation today on his Telegram channel, where he has over 800k followers.  The State Bar of GA is also trying to prevent Wood from practicing law in the Peach State.

Federal Prosecutors Bring Voter Fraud Charges Against Dozens in North Carolina.  Voter fraud actually occurred in the 2020 elections.  That much is established.  The extent of the voter fraud is unknown, but evidence that the illegal activity occurred around the United States continues to mount.  On Friday, dozens of offenders were charged in an ongoing probe of election fraud in the North Carolina election, a state that Donald Trump had won.  "Federal prosecutors in North Carolina said Friday that 24 additional people have been charged in an ongoing probe into voter fraud, including two who are accused of illegally voting in the 2016 presidential election," the Epoch Times reported.

Antrim County in Michigan Decides Not to Use Dominion Voting Machines in Upcoming May Election.  The first system 'glitch' identified in the 2020 election was in Antrim County.  The locals decided they had enough of the Dominion voting machines and will count paper ballots in their upcoming May election.  Antrim county was the first county to identify irregularities in its 2020 Presidential election results.  Only three days after the 2020 election, the county had identified thousands of votes which were incorrectly given to Joe Biden, which stole the county for the Democrat.  After these results were identified, the county was properly reported for President Trump.

Former Fed Prosecutor Seeks Pledge From "Every Business In America" That 2020 Election Was "Accurate".  A former federal prosecutor, Glenn Kirschner, has launched a campaign to force "every business in America" to take a pledge that states, in part, that "The 2020 presidential election was free and fair, and produced accurate, reliable results."  Any American business refusing to take this pledge, regardless of their own personal beliefs, will presumably be subjected to the cancel mob.

Alan Dershowitz advising My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell's lawyers in Dominion lawsuit.  Alan Dershowitz is "consulting" the lawyers for My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell in a $1.3 billion lawsuit brought over Lindell's 2020 election fraud claims, according to a new report.  Dershowitz, who was part of former President Donald Trump's legal team during his first impeachment trial, said he has a "limited role" in Lindell's case, he told The Hill.  "I think it is a very important First Amendment case," Dershowitz told the publication.  Last month, Dominion Voting Systems filed a defamation complaint against Lindell, who claimed the voting machine company stole "millions of votes" in the presidential election.  The company cited several statements made by Lindell, including in media appearances, social media posts and a two-hour documentary in which the pillow honcho expounds on his baseless conspiracy theories about the election.

Months after Trump complaints, some courts are finding irregularities in 2020 elections.  Long after former President Donald Trump dropped his legal challenges to the 2020 election, some courts in battleground states are beginning to declare the way widespread absentee ballots were implemented or counted violated state laws.  The latest ruling came this month in Michigan, where the State Court of Claims concluded that Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson's instructions on signature verification for absentee ballots violated state law.  Benson had instructed local election clerks a month before the Nov. 3 election to start with a "presumption" that all signatures on absentee ballots were valid and only reject those that had "multiple significant and obvious" inconsistencies.  Republicans and one election clerk challenged her instructions in court.  [Video clip]

H.R.1 — Is It Really "For the People"?  H.R. 1 purports to, "expand Americans' access to the ballot box, reduce the influence of big money in politics, strengthen ethics rules for public servants, and implement other anti-corruption measures for the purpose of fortifying our democracy, and for other purposes."  The Bill is 791 pages long.  Here are just a few of the more egregious federal power grabs in H.R. 1 concocted against the 50 states that run elections under the U.S. Constitution:  [#1] Ban voter ID laws and allow ballot harvesting; [#2] Expand Election Day to "election season" by mandating mail-in ballots be counted 10 days after the election would normally be over; [#3] Automatic voter registration of people who apply for unemployment, Medicaid, Obamacare and college, or who are coming out of prison.  There is a lot more, and it gets worse.  Substantially worse.  There are First Amendment restrictions on political speech and on the support or opposition of a bill and/or a candidate.  Remember:  This is supposed to be "fortifying our democracy."

Media's Entire Georgia Narrative Is Fraudulent, Not Just The Fabricated Trump Quotes.  The Washington Post was busted for publishing fabricated quotes from an anonymous source, attributing them to a sitting president, and using those quotes as a basis to speculate the president committed a crime.  The invented Donald Trump quotes, which related to a fight over election integrity in Georgia, were cited in Democrats' impeachment brief and during the Senate impeachment trial.  But the fake quotes, bad as they were, are just one of many ways the media have done a horrible job of covering election disputes in the state.  According to the media narrative, the Georgia presidential election was as perfectly run as any election in history, and anyone who says otherwise is a liar.  To push that narrative, the media steadfastly downplayed, ignored, or prejudiciously dismissed legitimate concerns with how Georgia had run its November 2020 election and complaints about it.  That posture was the complete opposite of how they were reporting on Georgia elections prior to Democrats performing well in them.

Legalizing election fraud, forever.  HR 1 is Nancy Pelosi's signature bill, and exploring it is like taking a deep dive into political depravity.  A partisan House passed it on March 3, without any Republican votes.  While it's currently before the Senate, provided the filibuster continues to exist, it's predicted to fail.  The filibuster's continuation depends on ethical behavior by a few moderate Democrats, who are probably getting their arms twisted by Chuck Schumer, who wants it gone. [...] HR 1 is designed to eliminate state control of elections, which was specified in the constitution to safeguard against exactly this type of takeover.  Because there are more Republican state governments, 27 Republican governors and 30 legislatures, the only way to destroy our electoral process thoroughly is at the federal level.  No doubt, if the bill is passed, it will be challenged in court on constitutional grounds; the problem is, we now know we have a Supreme Court whose majority is made up of liberals and cowards who would rather not make waves.

Georgia Judge Gives Voter Integrity Group Access to Fulton County Election Ballots.  Perhaps a concerted and consistent effort will produce results?  Let us pray for a return of judicial common sense and continued sunlight upon any deception.  Remember, the Fulton County election board fired their director as an outcome of multiple voting and ballot counting issues that surfaced following the 2020 election.  Now a judge in Georgia has given a vote integrity group access to the physical ballots in Fulton County amid sworn affidavits that many of those ballots were sketchy and seemed to be generated by automation.

New Data Show 92,367 Mail Ballots in Nevada Went to Wrong Addresses — in a Single County.  Hindsight is 20/20, and now numbers from the 2020 election show how Nevada made a mistake rushing to automatic mail ballots.  Dirty voter rolls combined with automatic mail made the 2020 election a mess in Nevada.  Concrete post-election data show that 92,367 mail ballots sent out by Clark County election officials came back as undeliverable.  They had incorrect or outdated addresses.  That means they were sent where the registered voter did not live.  That means someone else could have snatched those misdirected live ballots.  That means someone probably did.  This unfortunate number is unwelcome considering President Joe Biden only carried Nevada by 33,596 votes.  Clark's 92,367 bounced ballots demonstrate a real vulnerability with mass mail balloting.

MI Court:  Michigan Secretary of State's Absentee Ballot Order Broke Law, Vindicating Trump Claim.  A Michigan judge ruled last week Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson (D) broke state law when she unilaterally issued rules related to absentee balloting, legitimizing a key claim made by the Trump campaign in its legal challenges to the 2020 election.  Benson issued several unilateral orders during the 2020 election including sending absentee ballot applications to all registered voters.  She also issued "guidance" on how to evaluate absentee ballots, a move Michigan Court of Claims Chief Judge Christopher Murray held violated the state's Administrative Procedures Act.

Smart Move By Arizona Legislature, Lawmakers Move to Block Private Funds Sent To Election Officials.  This is a smart, short, simple and common sense approach to start a process of state-wide vote integrity.  No more private sector cash allowed into the coffers of any state election official.  States fund the election, precincts manage the election, no outside financial influences allowed inside the election process; period.

For US, Gradual Ruin Is About to Become Sudden.  [Scroll down]  There is the passage in the House of H.R. 1, the so-called For the People bill, which would effectively assure that was never another fair election in this country.  It would do this by all but obliterating voter ID requirements — you need an ID to board a plane but not cast a vote — mandating same-day voter registration and at least two weeks of early voting, and by requiring states to provide unsupervised drop boxes to receive completed ballots.  In other words, H.R. 1 would centralize presidential elections, taking responsibility for oversight away from the states, where the Constitution placed it, and arrogating it to the clutches of the federal government and its sprawling bureaucracy.  If, as seems almost certain, H.R. 1 becomes the law of the land, it would be the final nail in the coffin of electoral integrity.

Criminalizing Protest at the Capitol.  Now, our duly re-elected President Trump has been ousted from the office of president by a criminal conspiracy to install Joseph Biden, an usurper, in his place.  To do this, a combination of voter fraud, election fraud, dereliction of duty in the courts, and suppression of conservative speech was employed. [...] As we saw in 2020, the people of this country no longer have a voice at the ballot box.  When a fraudulent election is allowed to stand, no vote matters until that problem is solved.  Secondly, with free speech under attack from all sides, starting with social media suppression, consistent but false narratives in the press, and the ever-lurking danger of cancel culture, the risk of free speech has never been greater.  Our government has been co-opted by forces antagonistic to the people of America and our Constitutional form of government.  To do it, many who hold elected office have betrayed their oath of office by not defending the Constitution or by actively working to violate it.

The Sovereign Crime of Industrial Scale Vote Fraud.  [Scroll down]  Sovereign crime means your government was a participant, active or passive, enabling vote fraud.  Governors and secretaries of state refusing to cleanse voter rolls, refusing to check signatures for mail-in ballots — even during recounts, changing the voting rules weeks before an election, qualifies as your government messing with your vote.  The national government refusing to investigate the most egregious examples of voter fraud like hundreds of thousands of more ballots than voters in several states, that is a pretty good indicator that they are passive participants in industrial level vote fraud.  The refusal of the FBI to fully investigate Jesse Morgan's truck with the hundreds of thousands of ballots going from New York to Pennsylvania — yet dispatching agents to a NASCAR location to investigate a garage pull-down they hoped was a noose — well, that's a good indicator, too.  Wait, we're not done here.  The United States Postal Service managers telling employees to backdate ballots so they could be counted illegally.  Does that sound like your government — sovereign government — participating in vote fraud?

8 Ways That HR 1, 'For the People Act,' Imperils Free and Fair Elections.  HR 1, the deceptively titled "For the People Act," has arrived in the U.S. Senate after a party-line vote in the House of Representatives.  It is without doubt the most dangerous and irresponsible election bill I have ever seen.  If it becomes law, it will interfere with the ability of states and their residents to determine the qualifications and eligibility of voters, to ensure the accuracy and validity of voter registration rolls, to secure the integrity of elections, and to participate and speak freely in the political arena.  HR 1 is an 800-page monstrosity that would usurp the role of the states.  It would not only eliminate basic safety protocols, but mandate new, reckless rules and procedures.

Judge signals he may unseal Fulton County absentee ballots for fraud investigation.  A Georgia judge indicated he could move to unseal Fulton County's absentee ballots for an investigation over alleged fraud during the November general election.  Voting integrity advocate Garland Favorito filed a lawsuit in Fulton County Superior Court alleging fraudulent ballots were cast and other irregularities happened while ballots were counted at State Farm Arena on Nov. 3, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.  Although state officials have dismissed those claims, Henry County Superior Court Judge Brian Amero, who is overseeing the case, signaled on Monday that he might order the absentee ballots to be unsealed and reviewed by a team hired by Favorito, the co-founder of the conservative Voter GA group that filed suit in December.  Amero said at the hearing he is seeking a concise plan for maintaining the security of the ballots if a decision is made permitting an audit to commence.

Democrat Bill H.R. 1 Would Let People Vote Up To Two Weeks After Election Day.  The Democratic Party is attempting to make Election Day into "election season" with the radical "For The People Act of 2021" sponsored by Rep. John P. Sarbanes, D-Md.  The bill passed in the House on March 3 at a vote of 220 to 210.  As noted by Federalist Executive Editor Joy Pullmann, the Democratic-sponsored elections bill H.R. 1 would "require states to wait ten days after election day" to accept ballots.

'Easy to Vote, but Hard to Cheat': Iowa Passes Major Election Legislation.  Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signed significant election reform legislation on Monday [3/8/2021].  The new law decreases Iowa's early voting period and closes polls an hour earlier on Election Day.  State Sen. Roby Smith, a Republican, says the new law "enhances Iowans' confidence in the elections in this state by implementing common sense reforms like providing a defined deadline on receipt of absentee ballots, aligning poll closing times for all Iowa elections closer to its bordering states, and bringing the absentee and early vote windows closer to the national average."

Courts Repeatedly Refused To Consider Trump's Election Claims On The Merits.  On Monday [3/9/2021], without comment, the Supreme Court ended the last of the 2020 election cases, rejecting Trump v. Wisconsin Election Commission in a one-line order.  It was a quiet ending to a tumultuous election season, but like a football game with a contentious call at the end, the debate over who really won will likely go on much longer.  The courts have always served as a pressure-relief valve on our internal disagreements.  From the battle with an unscrupulous car dealer to a nasty divorce that requires discernment over how to split everything from the antique Corvette to the kids, wise judges can help to bring peace and healing.  Surely, for a nation reeling after a tempestuous presidential election filled with strange occurrences, the courts were needed to bring us together.  We needed the steady hand of impartial jurists.  Most of all, the losing side needed to know that a fair shake was given, and that justice prevailed, even if it wasn't the outcome they wanted.  That did not happen after Nov. 3.  Despite a stack of cases that worked their way through the legal system, we remain bitterly divided.

Dominion Received At Least 2,000 Large Packages From China During 2020 Election.  With evidence found in a dumpster near the Fulton County, GA election warehouse after the November 3rd 2020 poll, it has emerged that Dominion Voting Systems possibly received at least 2,000 large packages from China during the 2020 U.S. general election.

Pelosi Says She's Open to Overturning Republican Win in Iowa District.  The Democrat-run House of Representatives is open to overturning a tight Republican victory in an Iowa Congressional district, said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday [3/11/2021].  Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-Iowa) defeated Democrat Rita Hart by six votes during the Nov. 3 election.  When asked about a scenario in which Democrats would unseat Miller-Meeks, Pelosi said it was a "hypothetical" situation but later said it's possible that it could happen.  "Well, I respect the work of the committee," she told reporters in her weekly press conference.  "I did see, as you saw in the press, what they decided to — and they were following my, as I read it, the requirements of the law as to how you go forward.  And how you go forward is the path you're on and we'll see where that takes us.  But there could be a scenario to that extent.  Yes."

Speaker Pelosi is Confronted About Trying to Steal Election, Her Answer is Breathtaking.  Speaker Nancy Pelosi was confronted on ABC's "This Week with George Stephanopoulos" about the election she is trying to steal. [...] The hypocrisy is simply breathtaking.  Speaker Pelosi just led an impeachment against Donald Trump for purportedly 'inciting' an election when he was merely arguing that the election was 'stolen.'  All that Donald Trump had sought was due process in tight election races, so that legal votes were counted and illegal votes were tossed out.

It's time for Red States to start nullifying federal law.  As we all know, the last election was a "tipping point" election on many different levels.  An election won with the use of illegal last-minute changes to state election laws has led to a rogue regime that threatens the very foundations of America.  This is being achieved through highly questionable executive orders, the decimation of the concept of national sovereignty and an attack on fossil fuels, the lifeblood of our economy.  Moreover, Biden is converting our military into a social justice agency and transforming our intelligence services into witch-hunters for conservatives who dared to protest a stolen election.  More alarming is the left's goal to make its political power permanent by granting amnesty to 20-30 million illegal aliens, granting statehood to D.C. and Puerto Rico, expanding the Supreme Court, and normalizing the censorship of conservatives, not to mention the institutionalizing of election fraud, especially in key swing states.

Regarding Democrats Stealing the House Seat in Iowa — It's Not Like the Democrats Haven't Stolen An Election This Same Way Before.  [Scroll down]  The Democrat challenger, Rita Hart, made a deliberate decision after the recount of ballots to NOT file any election contest in the Iowa courts as was authorized by Iowa law.  Instead, she filed the petition with the House that is now pending to have the "winning" candidate — as identified by Iowa election officials — Mariannette Miller-Meeks, disqualified from holding the seat on the basis that she did not receive a greater number of votes than Hart received.  The House has the final say under the Constitution with respect to the qualifications of any individual to serve as a member.  Under the statute authorizing the petition filed by Hart, the Committee conducts an investigation.  It can hear from witnesses, accept documentary evidence, conduct interviews in Iowa, and even conduct a recount of all the ballots on its own to come up with its own final vote tally.  Remarkably, if the Committee chooses to recount the ballots itself, the standards for what constitutes a "valid" ballot under Iowa law do not apply to such a recount by the House.  Democrats who have majority control of the committee can fashion their own standards as to what should be deemed a "valid" vote, and may freely choose to ignore any limitations on the process established by Iowa law and court precedent.

Sen. Mike Lee Hops Aboard the 'Too Little, Too Late' Election Fraud Bandwagon.  H.R. 1 essentially codifies the 2020 contest's mid-election rule changes by instituting provisions for (1) mandatory voter registration nationwide, (2) the restoration of voting rights for convicted felons, (3) the elimination of photo identification requirements, (4) the expansion of mail-in balloting and the use of unsupervised drop boxes that eliminate traditional chain of custody security for individual votes, (5) the counting of votes received in the mail well after Election Day, and (6) legal immunity for illegal aliens caught voting (as well as a host of other changes meant to keep Democrats in power in perpetuity).  As detestable a power-grab as H.R. 1 is, it's preposterous that any Republican who has been vouching for the 2020 election and pretending it was conducted on the up-and-up could now turn around with a straight face and act as if the election changes contained within H.R. 1 are beyond the pale.  H.R. 1 is like an autopsy report for how Democrats killed the last election and installed President Brain Freeze in the White House.  The legislation is nothing more than Democrats' insistence on making legal what they've already accomplished.

Pelosi: House could unseat Iowa Republican who narrowly won race.  Speaker Nancy Pelosi said the House could ultimately vote to unseat Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, who won Iowa's 2nd Congressional District seat by just six votes out of more than 394,000 cast.  Pelosi told reporters that the Democratic-led House Administration Committee "is following the law," in its review of the election, and it could ultimately result in a move to force out the first-term Iowa Republican.  "We will see where that takes us, but there could be a scenario to that extent," Pelosi said.  Democratic candidate Rita Hart has contested her narrow loss to Miller-Meeks, leaving the House Administration Committee to decide her case.  Hart believes 22 ballots were wrongfully discarded, and if they were counted, she would have a nine-vote victory.  House Administration Republicans want Democrats to dismiss Hart's case, but the committee voted Wednesday [3/10/2021] to table a motion to dismiss Hart's claim.

Stacey Abrams Pressuring Corporate America to Oppose Voter Integrity Laws.  Stacey Abrams, a far-left activist desperate to enshrine cheat-by-mail into law, is pressuring Big Business to speak out against a number of voter integrity laws making their way through the Georgia legislature.  "There were businesses that were silent in the election for whatever reason.  But there should be no silence from the business community when anyone in power is trying to strip away the right to vote from the people," Not-Governor Abrams said on a call Tuesday [3/9/2021] with two extreme-left organizations that back cheat-by-mail.

Democrats Try to Steal a House Seat in Iowa and I'm Assured It's an Insurrection.  The House race in Iowa's 2nd district was decided months ago.  A recount found that Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks won by just six votes and the results have been certified.  Despite that, Democrats have fought to not recognize her, and now talks of yet another recount loom. [...] I'm not sure exactly who is going to do the counting here.  Are House Democrats planning on seizing ballots and conducting their own audit?  Who knows?  Because this is all political theater anyway.  If Democrats "recount" and find Hart "won," are they going to seriously override a certified election and seat Hart?

If you didn't know this already...
HR1, the 'For the People Act,' tells us the Democratic Party is now the party of vote fraud.  Democrats resist virtually every Republican idea to make America's elections more secure, and they labor tirelessly to make this country's elections more chaotic, more unsupervised, and more unreliable.  Democrats used COVID-19 as an excuse to dilute voting standards that would make the citizens of almost any Third World country blush.  Democrats, not Republicans, blasted out mass-mail-in ballots to everyone on voter rolls in multiple states — whether requested or not.  Among other places, these phantom ballots littered apartment-building lobbies in Las Vegas, where Democrat officials in Clark County, Nevada, tossed ballots around like confetti.  Actual live ballots even wound up in trash cans [...].

Newly Revealed Emails Show Green Bay Officials Gave Keys to 2020 Election to N.Y. Dem Operative.  The Wisconsin House of Representatives on Wednesday [3/10/2021] held a hearing to review election irregularities after newly revealed documents obtained by Wisconsin Spotlight revealed that Democrat activists, funded by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, were able to infiltrate the 2020 presidential election in Wisconsin's five largest cities.  In Green Bay, a Democrat activist was actually given keys to the room where absentee ballots were stored before the 2020 presidential election.  The city received a total of $1.6 million in grant funding from the Zuckerberg-funded Center for Tech and Civic Life, according to Wisconsin Spotlight.  A Democrat operative from New York named Michael Spitzer-Rubenstein became a "grant mentor."

HR 1 is not pro-democracy, it's pro-coercion.  By winning control of the House, Senate, and White House in 2020, Democrats created an opportunity to make it easier for them to win in the future and harder for anyone to criticize them.  Their first order of business, which House Democrats call the "For the People Act," is largely an exercise in taking the worst election laws in some of the worst-governed states and imposing them on the entire country.  The bill has passed the House, and plenty of worked-up activists (including much of the media and the still-Never-Trump establishment) think Democrats should abolish the filibuster to pass it through the Senate.  H.R. 1 would override state election laws and impose all sorts of mandates, including automatically registering adults to vote, even if they don't want to register.  Democrats passed the For the People Act in 2019, too, but the newest version has some new ideas that they apparently gleaned from the 2020 election.

Why Election Integrity Matters.  [Scroll down]  Incredibly, while the Founders knew nothing about cars, televisions, mobile phones, or the Internet, the mechanisms they put in place largely survived Time's march.  But for all of their familiarity with the dark sides of man's nature, even the Founding Fathers, possibly the greatest assembly of men to ever come together in history, couldn't foresee the darkness that lay ahead with the Democrat party of the 21st century.  Today, America sits and watches as Democrats essentially send the Constitution through the shredder.  Emboldened by a pusillanimous Supreme Court, Democrats with H.R. 1, seek to undermine the Constitution's very foundation:  Voting integrity by the governed.  They seek to codify arrangements that, by their very nature, are intended to eviscerate the notion of vote integrity.
  •   Voter ID:  Eliminated.
  •   Mail-in voting:  Mandated.
  •   Maintenance of accurate voter rolls:  Outlawed.
  •   Same-day registration:  Required.
  •   Ballot harvesting:  Allowed.
These anti-integrity initiatives, and many more, will be codified under H.R. 1, with the goal of giving Democrats end-to-end control over voting in the United States.  Once they achieve this, they will control every branch and every element of the federal government in perpetuity.  And given that they back a regulatory state that never met a freedom it didn't want to regulate, they will control every aspect of the lives of formerly free Americans.

The Current Balance Sheet of American Democracy.  The House has just passed a bill that would compel states to accept mailed-in votes for 15 days prior to and 10 days after Election Day; set up automatic and online voter registration; prohibit review of the eligibility of voters; compel acceptance of ballots cast in the wrong precincts; bar the removal of the ineligible voters from the rolls; permit ballot harvesting; ban any voter identification laws; consign to unelected officials the redrawing of congressional districts; infringe upon free speech by the imposition of "onerous legal and administrative burdens on candidates, civic groups, unions, and non-profit organizations"; and establish a disturbingly named "Commission to Protect Democratic Institutions" in order to end-run the courts.  The potential for gross abuse with these changes if they are enacted is too obvious to require elaboration.  Any opposition to it is labeled "voter suppression."  If this bill is enacted, especially with the provision for a bare majority vote on any issue in the Senate, and the addition of two or four sure Democratic senators from Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia admitted as new states, the question of whether and to what extent the United States remains a government of laws and a genuine democracy will not be possible to answer affirmatively with any confidence.

15 Insane Things In Democrats' H.R. 1 Bill To Corrupt Elections Forever.  On Wednesday [3/3/2021], House Democrats passed an 800-page bill that would mandate insecure voting processes and subject voting tallies to partisan manipulation.  It's a slap in the face to the half of Americans, including many Democrats, who believe the 2020 election was riddled with fraud and errors, largely due to the rapid expansion of mail-in balloting and other suspensions of state election laws.  "It is difficult to imagine a legislative proposal more threatening to election integrity and voter confidence," write 20 Republican attorneys general in a Thursday letter about the ridiculously named For The People Act of 2021, or H.R. 1.  Democrats have made the bill their top priority this Congress to permanently cement their current unified control of the federal government.

Georgia Senate Republicans advance bill to end no-excuse absentee voting.  Overcoming universal Democratic opposition, Republicans in the Georgia Senate on Monday narrowly passed a sweeping elections omnibus bill that would eliminate no-excuse absentee voting, which was enacted by Republicans in 2005, just months after a record number of Georgians opted to cast ballots this way in the 2020 presidential election. [...] Instead of using the subjective signature match process, voters would be required to include their driver's license or state ID card number when applying for and returning an absentee ballot.

Georgia Senate votes to eliminate no-excuse absentee voting.  The Georgia state Senate passed a bill that would eliminate no-excuse absentee voting in the Peach State, a hot-button issue for the GOP following the presidential election.  The bill, S.B. 241, passed by a vote of 29-20 on Monday afternoon [3/8/2021].  Under the proposed legislation, the only voters who are eligible to vote absentee are those who are 65 years old or older, absent from the precinct, observing a religious celebration, or providing constant care for someone else.  The bill is being touted by the Republican majority, who say they seek to improve voter security and confidence, while their Democratic opponents argue that the legislation will make it harder for people to vote, specifically people of color.

The Deep Rig.  Was the 2020 presidential election stolen?  That question continues to reverberate through our public life.  Today I downloaded a new book by Patrick Byrne called The Deep Rig.  It purports to tell the true story of how the Democrats stole the election, and why the Trump administration and the GOP bungled their opportunity to do something about it.  I am half-way through the book, and am not prepared to express an opinion on it.  I will say this:  Byrne is not a nobody.  And he describes events in detail, like his account of a meeting with President Trump in the Oval Office.  In his telling, the heroes are quants and hackers like him, along with General Michael Flynn, Sydney Powell, and one or two others.  Villains (if only on account of their haplessness) include Rudy Giuliani, White House Counsel Pat Cipollone, and most of those who tried and failed to do something about the election.  Byrne's account is riveting and contains links to videos, spread sheets, etc.

Retired Purple Heart Veteran in Arizona Who Dove In Dumpster and Found Shredded Ballots Is Now Being Threatened.  A retired Purple Heart veteran who took a dive in a dumpster on Saturday and found illegally shredded ballots in Maricopa County is now reportedly a wanted man.  Yesterday [3/7/2021] it was reported that a man by the name of Earl S, who found shredded ballots in a dumpster backed up to the loading dock outside of the Maricopa County Tabulation Center, is now a wanted man.

Filiblustering the Future of America.  HB1, in contradiction to its altruistic title, For the People Act, encourages continued election hijinks by Beltway bluebloods and greatly harms the body politic by upending sovereign state protocols.  The bill seeks to strip federalism from the states, facilitates statehood for the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, imposes voter requirements that will embrace illegal alien registration, ignores the Constitution by allowing convicted felons to vote, sanctions ballot harvesting, prevents the auditing and updating of registration databases that turn once living Republicans into dead Democrat voters, and codifies a corrupt federal influence over future state election campaigns and vote counts.  It passed the House with near-unanimity by Democrats, a single-minded feat quite beyond the capacity of the Republican party.

Supreme Court dismisses Trump's last election fraud case.  In a ruling on Monday [3/8/2021], the Supreme Court dismissed the last of three court cases brought by the Trump campaign challenging the 2020 US presidential election.  The Court did not give a comment as to their reasons for the dismissal.  This final challenge brought by the Trump campaign alleged that thousands of votes cast using absentee ballots in Wisconsin needed to be examined for fraud, according to Reuters.

More Than 432,000 Votes [were] Removed From Trump in Pennsylvania, Data Scientists Say.  Pennsylvania election data show 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 show Trump's votes decrementing in various counties at numerous time points, instead of increasing as would be expected under normal circumstances.

Mich. Judge Reinstates Voting Fraud Case Following Forensic Probe Of Dominion Voting Machines.  A federal judge has reinstated a Michigan County voting fraud case after the county clerk dismissed it.  This week, Judge Kevin Elsenheimer issued two separate orders to immediately reinstate the Antrim County election fraud case, ruling the clerk's non-service dismissal was improper.  Antrim County received national attention after it was discovered more than 5,000 votes for President Donald Trump were allegedly flipped to Joe Biden.  Michigan Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson blamed the possible vote switch on a "clerical error."  Despite those findings, Antrim County Clerk Sheryl Guy dismissed the case without notice.  According to reports, Guy claimed the computer malfunction was entirely her fault, resulting in a 7,048 vote swing when only nearly 16,000 votes were cast.

Mail-in ballot fraud — in Mississippi, it's real.  So much for the media's constant claims that mail-in vote fraud is rare.  In Mississippi, a judge found it to be real. [...] It's worth noting that every character here involved here is a Democrat, as this was a 2020 Democratic Party runoff.  That it's just Democrats makes such stories harder to ignore.  This isn't President Trump yelling fraud, this is Democrat-on-Democrat malfeasance, with a judge calling the whole show off, ordering a do-over.  Mail-in ballot fraud in fact is very real.  Politifact is implicitly dismissing this story as of no importance because it happened in a town of 5,300 in northeastern Mississippi, where, a Google map shows, the nearest big "city" is Tupelo (of Elvis Presley and Bobbie Gentry song fame), and the town sits approximately halfway to Memphis, Jackson, Birmingham, Huntsville, and Montgomery, each around 150 miles away, making it an equi-distant crossroads of sorts.  But just because the town was small doesn't mean such things don't matter.  Fraud could only occur in a small town and not a big city?  That's nonsense.  Big city machines led by Democrats are utterly famous for their corruption.

Biden Executive Order Helps Imprisoned Criminals Vote by Mail.  President Biden on Sunday [3/7/2021] signed a sweeping executive order instructing federal agencies to advance Democrat Party objectives for U.S. elections, using the agencies to provide information about voter registration and vote-by-mail applications, including for federal prisoners.  The Biden administration asserted the federal government plays a primary role in providing education about voter registration and combating "misinformation."  His administration is devoted to promoting and defending "the right to vote for all Americans who are legally entitled to participate in elections," he states in the order.  One of the main objectives listed in the executive action is providing prisoners with educational materials related to voting and facilitating voter registration for eligible prisoners "to the extent practicable."

Ballots in Arizona County Found Shredded in Dumpster, Days Before Senate Audit.  Thousands of paper ballots have been found shredded in a dumpster in Maricopa County, Arizona, according to reports.  The troubling discovery has emerged just days before a Senate audit of the county's 2020 election results is due to begin.  For months, the Board of Supervisors in Maricopa County has been blocking and delaying any independent audit performed by the Arizona Senate of the County's results in the 2020 presidential election.  The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors (MCBOS) eventually agreed to have an audit — but only if they could pick the auditors — after being subpoenaed by the Arizona Senate, and then suing the Senate to prevent a Senate audit of their 2020 election results.

Biden Signs Election Executive Order to Increase Voting by Criminals.  President Joe Biden signed an executive order on March 7 altering the way the federal government handles elections, including by increasing voting and voter registration access for criminals in prison and on probation.  "The order will direct the Attorney General to establish procedures to provide educational materials related to voter registration and voting, and to the extent practicable, to facilitate voter registration, for all eligible individuals in the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons," a fact sheet distributed by the White House states.  The order also directs the attorney general to help former prisoners obtain appropriate identification to satisfy state voting requirements.  Biden is also asking the U.S. Marshals Service to include language in its contracts to facilitate voting by mail and provide eligible criminals information on voting and voter registration.

Biden's latest executive order is his most frightening yet.  The Democrats who now control Washington, D.C. are determined to change America's election laws to ensure that they never lose another election.  The first salvo in this battle was the House's vote passing H.R. 1, which opens federal elections to all types of fraud and manipulation. [...] Having established the premise — Blacks are helpless — the edict sets out the solutions:  making it easy to register to vote, vote by mail, and cast ballots; making online access to information easier; distributing voter registration and vote-by-mail forms; and helping people fill out the forms.  The more worrisome one requires "soliciting and facilitating approved, nonpartisan third-party organizations and State officials to provide voter registration services on agency premises."  Color me unduly cynical, but I have a feeling that all the "approved, nonpartisan third-party organizations" are going to look remarkably like ACORN or the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Pelosi's HR1 bill a blatant power grab for Democrats.  Nancy Pelosi's top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats.  Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again.  It's a power grab.  The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration.  Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote.  Noncitizens are obligated to identify themselves and opt out, but there are no criminal penalties if they don't.  From California to New York, Democrats are already pushing to allow noncitizens to vote in local elections.  They see this as their roadmap to a future permanent majority[.]  HR 1's bag of tricks also includes banning state voter ID requirements.  Anyone can show up on Election Day to vote, registered or not, and simply sign a statement that they're a legal voter.  HR 1 is being sold as a reform to make voting easier.  In truth, it makes cheating easier.  HR 1 compels states to send out absentee or mail-in ballots universally, favoring Democrats who tend to use this method.  It also forces states to count ballots that arrive by mail as late as 10 days after the election.  Say goodbye to election night finality.

Former DNI John Ratcliffe Comes Clean — Discusses Last Minute Democrat Rules Change that Corrupted 2020 Election.  Former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe joined Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures this morning [3/7/2021].  During the interview, Bartiromo asked Ratcliffe if he thought the 2020 election was fair.  [Video clip]

How to get away with stealing an election.  [Scroll down]  If no one in Detroit, Michigan needed to know, and thus didn't know, what was happening in Philadelphia, PA, they wouldn't have to feel particularly guilty afterwards.  If those responsible for feeding fake, duplicate and/or otherwise invalid ballots into an election machine in Fulton County Georgia after the polls were closed didn't know about internet connections and software "improprieties" in ANY of the targeted "swing states", they really couldn't be blamed for "that much fraud".  Catching one, or even several, election-center volunteers cheating would be the equivalent of the enemy capturing a low-ranking sailor floating helplessly in the long-gone wake of his more threatening "mother ship".  No one individual or small team caught at any of the lower levels would represent a "leak" big enough to change the election's outcome.  Breaking up the total cheating efforts into many smaller pieces, using various types of manipulation, with a well-trained damage control team on stand-by to fix any "accidental leaks and/or slip-ups" (such as placing cardboard sheets over observation windows) the "Ocean's 2020" star-studded thieves could have effectively turned an unimaginable operation into an almost "sure thing".  And, once pulled off, the payoffs would be far greater than their massive, initial investments required.

Ballots In Arizona's Maricopa County Found Shredded and In Dumpster — Days Before Senate Audit To Begin.  Piles of shredded ballots were located today in a dumpster in Maricopa County Arizona.  This find occurs only days before the Senate's audit of the county's 2020 election results is due to start.  For months the Board of Supervisors in Maricopa County have blocked and delayed any independent audit performed by the Arizona Senate of the County's results in the 2020 Presidential election.  As we've reported previously, after being subpoenaed by the Arizona Senate and then suing the Senate to prevent a Senate audit of their 2020 election results, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors (MCBOS) agreed to have an audit if they could pick the auditors.  The two firms they picked they claimed were the only two who were certified by the governmental body the US Election Assistance Commission (EAC). However, we found that these firms were not certified at the time they were selected by the MCBOS.

Spoliation of evidence.  The spoliation of evidence is the intentional or negligent withholding, hiding, altering, or destroying of evidence relevant to a legal proceeding. [...] The spoliation inference is a negative evidentiary inference that a finder of fact can draw from a party's destruction of a document or thing that is relevant to an ongoing or reasonably foreseeable civil or criminal proceeding:  the finder of fact can review all evidence uncovered in as strong a light as possible against the spoliator and in favor of the opposing party.

Absentee ballot fraud, voter intimidation alleged as judge orders new Democratic election in Mississippi town.  A Mississippi judge last week ordered a new election after allegations of absentee ballot fraud and voter intimidation surfaced in connection with a Democratic runoff last June for an alderman seat in Aberdeen, the Monroe Journal reported.  The final vote tally was 177 for Nicholas Holliday and 140 for Robert Devaull, the Journal reported.  Devaull challenged the election in court, and Judge Jeff Weill said 66 of 84 absentee ballots cast in the runoff were invalid and should never have been counted, WCBI-TV reported.  Weill also issued a bench warrant for notary Dallas Jones, who admitted during a hearing to violating notary duties, WCBI said.

Obvious Voter Fraud, Pence's Decision, and What's Next for Trumpism.  There is a case to be made for VP Pence to have sent the vote back to the states, an arcane rule that could have shown more light on what has been an extraordinarily unusual situation in this election.  From unregulated mail-in ballots to many millions of votes showing up in the middle of the night to Republican oversight being excluded from the vote count process, there were obvious irregularities that likely were evidence of rampant fraud.  I for one thought it prudent to have more time to examine the results.  It has been obvious that the forces behind Biden/Harris (neither of them are qualified to run a picnic) have been hell bent to push this inauguration beyond any scrutiny.  The 'Soros migrants' have now shown up at the border, dressed in new white t-shirts, right on que to push on of the key parts of the globalist scheme to 'Defund the US' to coin a phrase.  What Pence did on 1/6 was unpalatable to conservatives hoping to shine some light on election irregularities that are actively being swept under the rug and, not what seemed to be in our best interest, it appears now to have been a little distasteful to him also.  Having considered Pence a rational team player for his entire career (I never knew why he ran for President except for name recognition), I imagine he scanned the landscape and realized going out on a limb to push an implausible tactic would not be prudent and a strategic withdrawal was his best option (live to fight another day). This might be a totally misguided analysis but what with the events and soundbites since that very strange, put up, event on 1/6/2021, it is the one that makes the most sense to me.

No Wonder Democrats Are Delaying Everything Related to the 2020 Election — Irregular Ballots from the 2020 Election in Arizona Can be Destroyed Six Months After the Election.  Jovan Pulitzer reported today [3/5/2021] that we may not have as much time as expected to audit the ballots from the 2020 election in Arizona.  In fact, we are only months away.  Jovan Pulitzer has a process where he believes he can identify invalid ballots from the 2020 election based on paper, ink, layout, and folds in ballots recorded in the election.  His work is expected to produce an inventory of invalid ballots and then determine the final results from the election based on valid ballots.  [Video clip]

Four Months After 2020 Presidential Election in Georgia No Chain of Custody Documents Produced for 404,000 Absentee Ballots Deposited in Drop Boxes.  Four months after the November 3, 2020 presidential election, state and county officials in Georgia have failed to produce chain of custody documents for an estimated 404,691 vote by mail absentee ballots deposited in drop boxes and subsequently delivered to county registrars for counting.  As of March 3, only 56 of Georgia's 159 counties have provided ballot transfer form data to The Georgia Star News.  The number of absentee by mail ballots delivered to registrars in those 56 counties total only 195,309, or 32.5 percent, of the estimated 600,000 absentee vote by mail ballots deposited in drop boxes and delivered to county registrars and counted in Georgia's 2020 presidential election.  In other words, there is no chain of custody for 67.5 percent — an estimated 404,691 — of the estimated 600,000 absentee vote by mail ballots deposited in drop boxes and delivered to county registrars and counted in Georgia's 2020 presidential election.

FBI Took Possession of Suspicious Ballots in Georgia in Early January and Ordered Them Destroyed With a Shredder.  The Gateway Pundit reported on January 9th that the FBI in Georgia stepped in and shut down the forensic analysis of shredded ballots, took the ballots away from the forensic team, and brought them back to the shredder to destroy the evidence.  Today we have more on this incident from two sources.  This story was first reported by Patrick Byrne, the former CEO of Overstock.com.  He reported on Twitter that the Deep State was stealing evidence in Georgia related to the 2020 Election: [...] We now have more information regarding this incident from individuals with knowledge of the events.  This all started when a shredding company was hired to come in and shred election material.  When the truck arrived at the scene, the material asked to be shredded turned out to be ballots and other official records from the 2020 election.  The company began shredding the material into little balls which are basically impossible to piece back together once they are shredded in that manner.

The Imaginary Government.  We have long been in a post-constitutional democracy, one that recognizes no individual rights, but simply who has the most votes, or, more accurately, the most ballots.  It is as destructive to the United States as it was to France, minus the guillotines, for now.  Driving home the fact of the stolen election is pointless.  Everyone knows it was stolen, especially those who benefitted from the steal.  They also understand the value of keeping up the illusion of legitimacy.  Equal to that value is the importance of never conceding that point.  The larger question, the most important question, is how do we expose the fraud in a real way?  Recognizing it is good, pushing back on the legitimacy narrative is good, but it's just filed away as two competing political voices urging the middle to move their way.  Lost is the importance of the stolen election.  The inability of the federal government to faithfully prosecute a free and fair election destroys its authority.

Democrats Pass HR1 To Federally Weaponize Election, Then Lockdown Capitol and Ask for 60-Day Extension of Military Troops to Protect Them.  Let us not mince words.  (1) Late last night [3/3/2021] the hardline leftists occupying the majority position, by a slim four vote margin in the House of Representatives, passed a bill on a party-line vote HR1 which fully codifies and weaponizes all opportunities for election fraud throughout the U.S.  (2) Immediately after passing the election usurpation bill, the same House leaders then locked-down the capitol under the auspices of a fraudulent "threat", and then; (3) requested a 60-day extension for the military to maintain their protective isolation behind fences and barbed wire.  This is the new normal the facist democrats are advancing.  This is the severity of the attack against our constitutional republic.

Judge Orders New Election After 78 Percent of Mail-In Ballots Found Invalid, Notary Arrested.  A Mississippi judge ordered a new runoff election for a local election in Aberdeen after more than three-quarters of absentee ballots cast in the June Democratic runoff election were found to be invalid, while a notary involved in the election was arrested.  Judge Jeff Weill, in a 64-page order, said that there is evidence of fraud and criminal activity in how absentee ballots were handled, how they were counted, and actions from individuals at polling places during the runoff election held in Aberdeen, Mississippi.  As a result, a new runoff election for the Ward 1 alderman seat is necessary, reported WCBI.  The judge ruled that 66 of 84 absentee ballots that were cast in the election, or around 78 percent, should have never been counted, according to WCBI.  Nicholas Holliday was declared the winner of the alderman seat by 37 votes, while challenger Robert Devaull contested the results in court.

Democrats' HR 1 Is a Force Multiplier for Election Fraud.  There are things that happened in the last election that are cause for legitimate concern.  We're still referring to them as irregularities for a variety of reasons that we don't need to go into right now.  The House just passed HR 1, which they're laughably calling the the "For the People Act." This monstrosity takes everything that made us nervous about the 2020 presidential election and puts it on federal steroids. [...] This is a dangerous, naked federal power grab that would put quite a few nails in the coffin of the good old Republic.  It would also make it nigh on impossible to clean up any of the very real messes that need to be dealt with.  Dealt with at the state level, that is.  HR 1 is like using a machete to close up a wound that needs a tourniquet.  It's not a cure, it's an exacerbation of the problem.  The Democrats like to say this bill is about "expanding voting rights," which is another component of their ongoing false narrative about voter suppression.  HR 1 is a perfect snapshot of the Democrats' long-term, one-party-rule Soviet vision for the United States.

Trump the Pathfinder.  President Trump came roaring back onto the national stage at CPAC February 28.  He brushed aside the legacy media's shrill insistence that the election was fine — that the stolen election claims were a debunked big lie.  Trump flipped the tables on the left by describing the widespread election-rigging and lawlessness.  He pointed out the statistical impossibility of the result.  The fact is, there is a mountain of evidence that the election was stolen, in a massive way, and President Trump walked us through much of it.  The legacy media and the rest of the left never discuss the evidence.  Like the legal negligence doctrine res ipsa loquitur (the thing speaks for itself), the evidence is so huge, so obvious, that it shifts the burden of proof from those calling out the election steal to those who try to deny it.  We must be confident and strong to save America from tyranny.  At CPAC, President Trump showed us how to deal with the real big lie (that the election was not stolen).  When the legacy media beg us to be in their hostage video and confess that Biden was fairly elected, we should ridicule them.  We should refuse to un-see the mountain of evidence that huge election crimes were committed.

House Democrats Vote to Nullify, Nationalize State Election Laws.  Voter ID laws and most other election integrity measures in the states would be nearly wiped out under a sweeping bill passed late Wednesday night by House Democrats that also makes felons eligible to vote while expanding Election Day registration and the controversial practice known as ballot harvesting.  The House voted 220-210 along party lines to pass the bill, which also includes massive public financing for campaigns that would provide $6 in tax funds for every $1 a candidate raises in donations.  Conservatives and other critics see the legislation, if passed by the Senate and signed into law by President Joe Biden, as a federal takeover or nationalization of elections.  Historically, states run elections.  No Republicans joined Democrats in the vote that concluded after 11 p.m. for the legislation designated as HR 1.

Why 16?  Why not 13?
Gingrich pans Democrat's push to lower voting age to 16.  Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich railed against Democrats pushing to cancel Dr. Seuss, lower the federal voting age to 16, and quickly enact legislation that will radically change the political direction of the country.  His comments during a Wednesday segment on Fox News' "Tucker Carlson Tonight" came on the heels of the House passing H.R. 1, a sweeping voting reform bill critics have blasted as an overly invasive move by Democrats to federalize ballot rules that led to so much chaos and distrust during the November election cycle.  One of the amendments pushed by the party's extreme left would have lowered the federal voting age from 18 to 16.  In offering the amendment, Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) claimed it is necessary to "enfranchise young Americans."

The Editor says...
Yes, lower the voting age to 16, but only if any 16-year-old "adult" can be drafted, sent to prison for life, or executed for murder.  Raise the stakes and see if they still want to play.

Judge Makes Huge Discovery: 78% of Mail-In Ballots Fraudulent, Election Re-Do Ordered.  A Mississippi judge has discovered what is presumed to be the rarest of election regularities:  Fraudulent mail-in ballots.  "In the sixty-four-page order, Judge Jeff Weill not only calls for a new election but also finds evidence of fraud and criminal activity, in how absentee ballots were handled, how votes were counted, and the actions by some at the polling place," CBS affiliate WCBI reported.  "In his ruling, the judge said that sixty-six of eighty-four absentee ballots cast in the June runoff were not valid and should never have been counted," the report continued.

While Republicans Slept, Democrats Stole the 2020 Election — Like Communists, They Are Working to Lock In Their Lawless Third World Voting Rules.  This is so serious and Republicans and Big Media do and say nothing.  Now the Democrats are taking their lead from the communist playbook, elections in America will soon be over if they get away with this.  A select few members of the Democrat Party will decide who wins each and every election going forward.  This was why it was imperative to fight for integrity in results in the 2020 election.  We knew if the Democrats got away with stealing President Trump's landslide election they would never relinquish control.  Rush Limbaugh warned America this fall that Democrats were done with elections.  They were tired of having to try and convince Americans of the benefits of higher taxes, open borders, weak defense, anti-American — pro-China trade deals, etc.

House passes sweeping voting rights bill over GOP opposition.  House Democrats passed a sweeping voting rights bill over Republican opposition late Wednesday [3/3/2021].  The For the People Act, also known as House Resolution 1, was approved along party lines on a 220-210 vote.  The legislation aims to lower voting barriers, expand access to the polls, put an end to partisan gerrymandering and set up public funding for congressional races.  It would also require states to offer mail-in ballots, same-day voter registration and a minimum of 15 days of early voting.

Why Democrats are scared.  The Democrats are proud of their ill gotten success, but they know they cheated, and they are afraid of the truth eventually being revealed.  They are consumed with pride and alarm — pride in their power, alarmed that they cannot force the probably seventy-five-plus millions of voters who support Trump to submit to their authoritarian agenda.  Their solution?  We must be forced to comply by any means necessary.  Any and all discussion or references to the fraud that so characterized the 2020 election must be censored.  And it has been censored, just as any legitimate but skeptical medical opinions about COVID and the vaccine must be censored and most certainly have been.  The alarm of the left dictates the deletion of any and all voices that do not align with the fear-mongering narrative that COVID is going to kill us all if we do not submit to their tyrannical restrictions on our freedom.  Their "narrative" is all nonsense, a ruse, part of a grand plan, the "great reset."

Pelosi's H.R. 1 Is an Authoritarian Outrage.  Democrats like to accuse anyone who doesn't embrace every one of their brand-new, rapidly evolving, Constitution-corroding positions of being "authoritarians."  It's often an impressive feat of projection.  For a pristine example of the genre, take Jonathan Chait's recent New York magazine piece alleging that former vice president Mike Pence is laying the "blueprint" for a fascistic GOP state in his new Heritage Foundation op-ed. [...] To be more precise, Pence writes that he opposes empowering the federal government to:
  •   compel states to count mail-in votes that arrive up to ten days after Election Day.
  •   compel states to allow ballot harvesting.
  •   compel states to ban voter ID laws.
  •   compel states to allow bureaucrats to redraw congressional districts.
  •   compel states to allow felons to vote.
  •   compel states to undermine free-speech rights by imposing "onerous legal and administrative burdens on candidates, civic groups, unions, nonprofit organizations."

About six months too late, Mike Pence says...
Election Integrity Is a National Imperative.  Under the Constitution, elections are governed at the state level.  And each state is required to appoint presidential electors "in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct."  Many of the most troubling voting irregularities took place in states that set aside laws enacted by state legislatures in favor of sweeping changes ordered by governors, secretaries of state, and courts.  While legislators in many states have begun work on election reform to restore public confidence in state elections, unfortunately, congressional Democrats have chosen to sweep those valid concerns and reforms aside and to push forward a brazen attempt to nationalize elections in blatant disregard of the U.S. Constitution.

Voting Rights Are Enhanced — Not Destroyed — by Laws That Make Elections More Secure.  Voting rights are restricted to citizens over the age of 18 who are not otherwise prohibited from voting by state law.  After many years of legislation at the federal level, every citizen who is 18 or older and registers to vote is allowed to do so without impediment.  The only common exception at the state level is convicted felons and those who are currently incarcerated.  Some states require a valid ID, but the dirty little secret is, so does the Democratic National Convention.  However, no one accuses the DNC of trying to exclude minorities from their convention.  But when any state requires a valid state ID to vote, especially one below the Mason-Dixon line, we are told that it's an attempt to suppress minority voters.  That is really weird since voter ID is one issue that Americans agree on at a rate of approximately 70%.  Voter ID pulls majority support from Democrats, Republicans, and unaffiliated voters, so it seems most Americans don't see this as a barrier to voting rights.  Yet, Democrat-affiliated lawyers still fight these laws.

As Trump Blasts 2020 Election, Democrats Move on a 'Monster' Election Bill.  In his first post-presidential address, Donald Trump again blasted the 2020 presidential election much to the delight of his most dedicated fans assembled at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) gathering in Florida over the weekend.  "We have a very sick and corrupt electoral process that must be fixed immediately," Trump told the cheering crowd in Orlando.  "This election was rigged.  Our election process is worse ... than that of a Third World country."  The former president described a long list of illegalities and abnormalities including an unprecedented volume of mishandled mail-in ballots, lack of voter identification, and "no excuse" absentee voting.  Unelected partisans, Trump accurately said, rewrote rules at the last minute in violation of state election laws.

Democrat Voter Who Voted For Trump In Nevada Says Her Ballot Was Rejected.  Democrat voter who voted Republican for the first time in Nevada says her ballot was rejected, says she found out after getting contacted by Democrats.  If you voted by mail, make sure it was accepted before tomorrow.  "This is the most bizarre thing.  I'm actually stunned.  It's my first year voting Republican because I want to protect small business."  "First year voting Republican.  I voted mail in for probably since I've been in college almost for 10 years now."  "They rejected my ballot and I found out because the Democratic Party called me telling me that they rejected my ballot."  [Video clip]

Coincidentally, It Is Always the Red Counties in Swing States.  Most of the reports of voting problems are occurring in deep Red counties in important swing states, especially Pennsylvania.  Of course, some of the disparity in reports of problems may be due to disproportionate reporting or the bias in my Twitter feed (although I follow a lot of liberal accounts for obvious reasons — to burst my information bubble), but I don't think so.  [Tweet]  It's not just Cambria County — it's all the surrounding counties too.  Long lines of people waiting to vote and the machines are all down.  They have started taking ballots that will be counted elsewhere, but the delays have been long and people have wrongly been told that they can get on a waiting list to vote and return later.

Important Information on What Happens When Polls Close in North Carolina.  The polls opened in my beloved home state of North Carolina at 6:30 am Eastern Time Tuesday and will be open until 7:30 pm.  Anyone in line at that time can still vote, so if you are, please remain in line until you've cast your vote.  Understandably, people on both sides of the aisle get incredibly frustrated on Election Day, especially in a presidential election year, because some states (like Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Nevada, for instance) tend to drag on and on in taking their sweet time processing ballots.

Care to Explain This One, Google?  Well, what do we have here, folks?  As voters flock to their respective polling locations to cast their ballot, Google is trying to screw over supporters of Donald Trump, muddying the results regarding where they can find their voting location.  Not everyone is a political junkie, and with Trump in the mix, there will be another wave of first-time voters.  Google can and should be a primary resource for one finding their polling location, but the search engine is reportedly making things very difficult:  [Several tweets]

The Myth of Secure Elections.  I don't know how much election fraud goes on, and neither do you.  Nobody really does because the answer is unknowable.  It's not like our election system is auditable — it isn't remotely so — or ever audited.  And it's not like the rules are consistent from state to state — sometimes they aren't from city to city.  We have countless systems of voting, distributing ballots, collecting ballots, counting ballots, and determining who even gets ON the ballots.  I have participated in two recounts of elections here in Minnesota — one a Congressional race and another a Senate race.  Anybody who thinks a recount will ensure election integrity knows nothing about how recounts work.  You aren't just "recounting" ballots — you are fighting over what counts as a legal vote.  When Norm Coleman lost to Al Franken, it was decided ballot by ballot in court.

Judge Rules in Missouri Suit Against DOJ Over Poll Monitors.  Late Monday night, U.S. District Court Judge Sarah Pitlyk issued her ruling on Missouri's request for a temporary restraining order as to DOJ attorneys dispatched to monitor a polling location in the City of St. Louis.  Pitlyk denied Missouri's request for a TRO on the basis that the state did not adequately demonstrate that it would be irreparably harmed by allowing "two individuals at one polling place to ensure compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act."  It's important to note that the proposed monitoring as to the City of St.  Louis derived from a settlement agreement reached between the DOJ and the City in 2021 after ADA concerns were raised.  It involved one polling place and had been implemented/followed in two prior elections, as well.

Georgia Supreme Court Rules Democrat-Led County Can't Accept Thousands Of Late Absentee Ballots.  The Georgia Supreme Court ruled on Monday that Democrat-run Cobb County cannot accept thousands of absentee ballots that arrive after the Election Day deadline.  Cobb County announced on Thursday that as of Oct. 30, "more than 3,000 absentee ballots requested by last Friday's deadline had not been mailed."  Cobb County Board of Elections Chairwoman Tori Silas said that the county was "taking every possible step to get these ballots to the voters who requested them" but that the county was "unprepared for the surge in requests and lacked the necessary equipment to process the ballots quickly." While absentee ballot requests had "been averaging 440 per day ... that number surged to 750 per day" during the final week to request an absentee ballot, the county said.  To remedy the issue, the county announced on Thursday that it would overnight the late ballots for a Friday morning (Nov. 1) delivery with "prepaid express return envelopes to ensure voters can return them by Tuesday's deadline."

Notorious Wisconsin Election Official Is Ordered To Follow The Law.  Swing state Wisconsin's most notorious elections clerk repeatedly failed to follow election integrity laws.  Now, on the eve of Election Day, the state's elections regulator is ordering Green Bay Clerk Celestine Jeffreys to comply.  The Wisconsin Elections Commission sent a letter to Jeffreys late last week after finally dealing with a complaint filed by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) on behalf of Green Bay residents.  According to the complaint, the clerk did not comply with procedures for auditing voters who registered to vote at their polling places on Election Day for 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 elections.  "In short, and as detailed further in the analysis below, the Commission finds that the Complaint did show probable cause to believe that a violation of law or abuse of discretion occurred with relation to Clerk Jeffreys's procedural actions," the WEC order states.  PILF filed the complaint in April, but the commission is just getting around to issuing its decision and order.

FBI Set Up 12 Agency Election Taskforce Operation in Washington DC.  The FBI has set up a command center in Washington DC where they are monitoring the USA election and prepared to respond to any issues they deem as threats to the new democracy they control.  I wonder what Washington DC process generated the authority, within this operation.  The USPS, Secret Service, Dept of Homeland Security, Federal Communications Commission and the Dept of Justice are all participating partners with the FBI as established within the Washington DC field office command center.  Check out the videos.  The mostly female agents sit around watch cable TV news, and respond to what exactly?  [Video clip]

Postal worker tosses 300 pro-NJ Rep. Tom Kean Jr. election mailers in dumpster: 'We saw her'.  A US Postal Service worker allegedly tossed about 300 mailers in support of New Jersey Republican Rep. Tom Kean Jr. into a dumpster outside a Pennsylvania supermarket two weeks ago — and the caught-on-camera incident may have cost her the job.  A security company worker watched as the unidentified woman — who was clad in a USPS uniform — pulled her Toyota Prius up next to a Shop-Rite dumpster in Brodheadsville, Pennsylvania, took several bins out of her trunk and chucked them in, according to the New Jersey Globe.

Democrats Try, and Fail to Keep Republican Poll Watchers From Doing Their Jobs in Pennsylvania.  Democrats in several polling locations in Pennsylvania reportedly tried to prevent Republican poll watchers from entering the building on Election Day.  The issue came to light on Tuesday morning when an X user named Linda A. Kerns announced that "FOUR of our Court appointed election workers were kicked out and told they can't work."  [Tweet]  Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Whatley, in a post on X, acknowledged learning about the issue, noting that it also happened in other locations in Pennsylvania.  "We deployed our roving attorneys, engaged with local officials, and can now report that all Republican poll watchers have been let into the building," he wrote.  [Tweet]  The GOP issued a press release on Tuesday notifying the public about the situation, arguing that keeping poll watchers out of polling locations "is a crime, and should not happen in a fair and secure election as promised by Governor [Josh] Shapiro and Secretary [Al] Schmidt."

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 WinTime 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 ElectionTime 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 Editor says...
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.

The Editor says...
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.

The Editor says...
[#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.

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.

Horns of Jericho
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: 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%)
When the six states began counting again, an impossible percentage of the votes were for Biden and most ballots had been left blank for all other races.  So by the morning after the election it was apparent that something was wrong.  It appeared that hundreds of thousands of phony Biden votes had been added to the counts in six states, on average, at about 3:45 AM. [...]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

An examination of this sort should also be conducted in Georgia, Wisconsin, Michigan, New Mexico, and Arizona.

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.

To sweep all this fraud under the rug, Georgia's gonna need more rug!

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.

The Editor says...
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Georgia mail-in ballots
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.

Robert Foster
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 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."

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."

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."

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.

"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.

Bogus addresses
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.

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.  [Video clip]

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 data
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.

Update:
See "Republican Canvassers Rescind Their Votes to Certify Wayne County, Michigan, Results" above.

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."

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 leap
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.

Vote fraud in PA
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 GeorgiaNew 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.

Biden advantage
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.

Detroit shenanigans - image via Texas Scorecard
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.

Suspicious ballot - Image via Texas Scorecard
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 Data Dump
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.

Covering windows in Detroit
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.

Unknown civilian caught taking a ballot box
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."

Drive-thru voting
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."

The Editor says...
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.

The Editor says...
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.

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.

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.

[#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]

More about Covid-19, the all-purpose crisis that's no longer about public health.  And maybe it never was.

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.

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."

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."

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."

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.


News items generally from the years before 2020:


New York Democrats Move to Register Illegal Aliens, Non-Citizens to Vote.  New York State Senate Democrats have advanced a plan that will automatically register to vote all residents who apply for a driver's licenses — which now includes non-citizens and illegal aliens — unless they "opt-out."  On Thursday [1/9/2020], Senate Senate Democrats passed legislation that will automatically register all residents who obtain driver's licenses through the New York Department of Motor Vehicles (DMVs).  As of this year, illegal aliens are able to obtain driver's licenses in New York, indicating that illegal aliens and non-citizens will only be excluded from the state voter rolls if they check the "opt-out" box before applying for a license.

New York Floats Automatic Voter Registration To Illegal Aliens.  New York may give automatic voter registration to illegals who have driver's licenses.  A loophole in the new law granting driver's licenses to illegal immigrants could allow hundreds of thousands of people to fraudulently register to vote in New York.

40 Million New Democrat Voters.  A shadowy new alliance led by pro-China communists plans to mobilize 40 million new Democratic voters for the 2020 election.  This group, firstly known as the State-based Power Caucus and now simply the State Power Caucus, has the ability to mobilize thousands of volunteers and paid staff in New York, California, Washington, Oregon, Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Minnesota, Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Mississippi, Virginia, Georgia, Florida, and Texas.  The State Power Caucus has already had a major political impact in Virginia, Florida, Kentucky, Texas, California, and several other states.  This alliance could decide the 2020 election — yet it's operating almost completely "under the radar."  In July 2017, 20 state-based organizations from 13 states united to form the State-Based Power Caucus.  The organization has no website and has generated very little publicity.  We don't even know its full roster of member organizations or the identities of most of its leaders.

Watchdog Group Tells 5 States of Millions of Extra Voter Registrations.  Democrats have long denied that voter fraud affects electoral outcomes and claims that those on the right want to crack down on voter fraud solely as a means of preventing the poor and minorities from voting.  But experts say fraudulent voter registrations open the door to fraudulent voting.  President Donald Trump and Republicans have long warned about the dangers of voter fraud.  Significantly, four of the states with voter over-registrations — Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia, and Colorado — are important battleground states that will figure prominently in the presidential election later this year.  An unusually high voter registration rate suggests a jurisdiction may not be removing voters who have died or who have moved elsewhere, as required by federal law, according to Judicial Watch.

Judicial Watch Uncovers Millions on Dirty Voter Rolls!  One of the most important things we can do in this election year is continue to force states and counties across the nation to comply with the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA).  And we are.  We have sent notice-of-violation letters to 19 large counties in five states that we intend to sue unless they take steps to comply with the law and remove ineligible voter registrations within 90 days.  Section 8 of the act requires jurisdictions to take reasonable efforts to remove ineligible registrations from their rolls.  Despite our successful litigation to bring counties and states into compliance with the NVRA, voter registration lists across the country remain significantly out of date.  According to our analysis of data released by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) this year, 378 counties nationwide have more voter registrations than citizens old enough to vote, i.e., counties where registration rates exceed 100%.

DHS to investigate driver's licenses for illegal aliens.  In the last few years, numerous states have already begun to, or soon will, issue driver's licenses to illegal aliens.  Spurred by concerns about national security risks, Trump's Department of Homeland Security is finally investigating whether these licenses are pathways to dangerous identity fraud.  The plethora of licenses in the hands of illegal aliens has worried those concerned about voting integrity.  In California, for example, the current iteration of the "motor voter" law means that anyone who obtains or renews a driver's license is automatically registered to vote.

Voter suppression, Iowa style.  The winner of the Iowa caucus has become the Democratic nominee in every 21st century election.  Yet, turnout is sparse; only 15.7% of registered Democrats showed up for the 2016 caucus and not many more are expected this year.  It is easy to understand why.  To participate, voters must drive to a caucus site at night and spend several hours listening to discussions of candidates' merits.  There are no secret ballots, your friends and neighbors know how you voted.  Many who worked evenings can't participate.  Parents of young children are unlikely to show up; especially single moms who can't afford babysitters.  Ditto for farmers and many factory hands whose days start before sunrise.  The result is an electorate filled with college professors, college students, union officials and party activists.

19 Arrests Later, a Texas Town Is Torn Apart Over Voter Fraud.  The story that thrust a Rio Grande Valley city into the national spotlight is hardly a new anomaly, say residents such as Richard Monte.  "Down here, voter fraud is not all that unusual," says Monte, a city planning consultant in a brown suit jacket, sitting with other activists at a table in Coffee Zone on McColl Road.  "It's unusual when they get prosecuted."  Now, for this south Texas town, that unusual moment has arrived.  A November 2017 mayoral election has been under scrutiny from local and state officials, and 19 arrests have been made over alleged voter fraud.  The mayor — and winner of the 2017 election — was indicted earlier this month, along with his wife.

The article above is about Edinburg, which used to be a nice place to live, especially in the winter.  My parents and I lived in the Rio Grande Valley back in 1971.  Now I'm not sure it's worthwhile, or safe, to go back for a visit.

Federal Judge Denies Effort to Restore 98,000 Purged Georgia Voters.  A federal judge ruled on Friday [12/27/2019] that the state of Georgia acted within the law by purging 98,000 voters from registration rolls who hadn't voted in 8 years or responded to a mailed notification letter.  All told, Georgia purged nearly 300,000 people who were either inactive or did not respond to the mailer.  Liberal groups fought the purge claiming it was unconstitutional.  But the judge didn't see it that way.

9 people suspected of double voting in 2018 election, referred for prosecution.  Iowa state officials have referred nine people to Iowa county attorneys, saying the nine voted twice in the November election last year.  The Iowa secretary of state's office said in a news release Friday that the nine are suspected of voting in Iowa after casting ballots in other states.  There were 27 suspected instances of people voting first in Iowa and then other states during the same election.

Mass Migration Could Give Urbanized Blue States a Disproportionate Electoral Advantage.  Trump was able to win competitive states such as Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, North Carolina, and Wisconsin — all states that are projected to lose one seat, according to the CIS study.  Shockingly, Ohio will lose three more seats thanks to these redistricting changes.  On the other hand, Florida would gain three additional seats while New Jersey would add two and Illinois and Massachusetts would add another seat.  "Apportionment is a zero-sum system; by adding more population to some states rather than others, immigration will continue to significantly redistribute political power in Washington," the study argues.  Illegal immigrants and their American-born children will cause pivotal swing states to lose seats.

Kearns: noncitizen registered to vote under Green Light Law.  "They said it could never happen.  It just happened," said Erie County Clerk, Michael Kearns.  Kearns is talking about what he describes as voter fraud related to the recently implemented green light law.  Kearns said last week, a noncitizen walked into the downtown branch of the DMV, applied for a commercial driver's license, but also registered to vote.  "It goes to show that the person completed their transaction on a Tuesday and by Friday they're on the voter registration form," Kearns added.

Don't Look Away.  [Scroll down]  Then there was the election in 2018 and the unimaginable, naked fraud that gave them the house.  In Arizona the polls were left open for weeks, under a provision supposed to be for when the polls had closed for a storm.  They remained open until the right candidate won.  [O]r the left one, in this case.  And it wasn't the only place.  Plus we now know they did a never-end of vote harvesting.  Which btw people are so confused about I saw someone in a blog suggest we should harvest votes ourselves.  Guys, what they did was go to nursing homes and hospitals and "vote" for people who can't/shouldn't/don't know.  They also "harvested" unvoted ballots from trash.  Those aren't even LEGAL.  And then they spent years throwing a screaming tantrum that we should abolish the electoral college, because they can't commit that level of fraud everywhere.

America Must Confront The Enemy From Within.  We are witnessing a full-fledged attack on the Electoral College to rig our elections once and for all to always go Marxist.  In fact, eventually, they will find a way to do away with elections altogether in the name of 'fairness'.  Between that and opening our borders to unfettered invasion, the left has a plan to control this country and rewrite our Constitution once and for all.  They have rigged election after election and won't stand for anyone on the right winning.  That inspired this attempted soft coup against Trump.  The left literally rigged getting the House of Representatives back and again, we did nothing to stop them.

Midland County officials just found a missing ballot box.  It may change the result of a $569 million bond election.  A proposal for a $569 million bond to build two new high school buildings in Midland failed by 25 votes in the November election, a margin slim enough it set off calls for a recount.  The ballots were recounted manually, and to the delight of Midland ISD officials, the results flipped and the proposal passed by a margin of 11 votes.  But last week, a Midland elections staffer found a box on the bottom of a shelf in the office containing 836 ballots that weren't tallied in the recount.

Judge allows Georgia to purge 309K voter registrations overnight.  About 309,000 names were set to be erased from Georgia's list of registered voters Monday night, a mass cancellation that a federal judge allowed to move forward.  A voting rights group, Fair Fight Action, said in federal court Monday that the registration cancellations target roughly 120,000 inactive voters who would otherwise be eligible to participate in elections but are being removed because they haven't cast a ballot since at least 2012.  The rest of the people on the cancellation list either moved from Georgia or mail sent to them by election officials was undeliverable.

Judge Allows Georgia to Purge More Than 300,000 Names From Its Voter Rolls.  A federal judge on Monday [12/16/2019] allowed Georgia to purge 309,000 names from its voter rolls but he also scheduled a second hearing to hear additional arguments.

California DMV "Accidentally" Re-Registering Hundreds Of Voters As Non Affiliated.  Whether by intent or incompetence, California officials are once again feeling the heat from another voter registration covfefe.  This round involves the DMV's new "motor voter" program, which automatically registers people to vote as they get their driver license or change their address.  The DMV has "accidentally" been registering people as non affiliated instead of the party they actually signed up with, even if they had previously been registered to vote with the party of their choosing.

Hundreds of Cali voters being registered under the wrong party, 'could disproportionately hurt' GOP.  Thanks to Democrats, besides funneling taxpayer money to illegal aliens and enacting draconian gun legislation, California's local government may be behind, intentional or not, voters' registration information being changed without consent.  According to reports, these registration errors are most likely to hurt Republicans.

Judge orders 234,000 purged from Wisconsin voter rolls.  An Wisconsin judge on Friday ordered the state to remove hundreds of thousands of people from Wisconsin's voter rolls because they may have moved.  The case is being closely watched because of the state's critical role in next year's presidential race.  Ozaukee County Judge Paul Malloy also denied the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin's petition to intervene.  Lawyers for the League and for the Wisconsin Elections Commission indicated they will appeal and asked Malloy to stay his ruling pending those appeals, but he declined.

Judge: 234K Wisconsin voter registrations should be tossed.  A Wisconsin judge on Friday [12/13/2019] ordered that the registration of up to 234,000 voters be tossed out because they may have moved, a victory for conservatives that could make it more difficult for people to vote next year in the key swing state.

The Editor says...
The clear implication here, if not a flat-out assertion, is that conservatives want to "make it more difficult for [all] people to vote."  That is a vicious canard.  Conservatives want to make voter fraud more difficult.

Lawsuit: More Than 2.5K Dead People Are Registered to Vote in Detroit.  More than 2,500 dead Americans remain on the voter rolls in Detroit, Michigan, according to a federal lawsuit filed this week.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) filed a lawsuit in federal court this week against the city of Detroit for allegedly failing to maintain their voter rolls, including keeping more than 2,500 dead Americans aged 85 and older on the rolls.

Battleground Ohio:  Investigation Uncovers Hundreds of Illegally Registered Non-Citizen Voters.  Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose announced on Wednesday that an investigation by his office has uncovered hundreds of illegally registered non-citizen voters, 77 of whom cast ballots in the November 2018 election.  In a letter to Attorney Dave Yost on December 4, LaRose, a Republican, explained, "As a result of our review, my office has identified 277 individuals who registered to vote in Ohio and 77 individuals who cast a ballot in an Ohio election and who appear to be legally present, noncitizens."  The Secretary of State said the review "utilized a cross-matching of the voter rolls in the Statewide Voter Registration Database with the list of individuals who have Ohio driver licenses or state identification cards."

Hold on There.  Civil War Not Necessary.  [Scroll down]  It is ironic that liberals are obsessing about foreign interference in our elections when the truth is that many foreigners are voting here illegally and any effort to prevent that is halted by the Democrats.  The canard that voter ID requirements alienate voters has to be put to rest.  Picture IDs are routinely required at banks, hotels, even grocery stores.  Shouldn't elections be held to a higher standard?  Only bona fide citizens, native or naturalized are eligible to vote.  Why do liberals endorse open borders?  Why have leftwing politicians enacted laws making it super easy to register the ineligible?  Motor voter and same day registration are just a couple of ways to slip in bogus voting.  I saw a voter registration form at a NYC rally that asserted one was eligible to vote if they were born in North America. [...] In a sane world, we would be purging all registration rolls and requiring voter ID confirming eligibility to reregister.  But we are living in total chaos bordering on insanity that is dominated by a militant tyrant minority of progressives.

Voter residency law to take effect for presidential primary.  A federal judge has denied a motion to stop a new residency law from being implemented before the New Hampshire primary.  The law, known as HB 1264, was passed in 2018.  It slightly changed the definition of "residency" in one section of New Hampshire law to eliminate the requirement that a person plan to live in New Hampshire "for the indefinite future" to be considered a resident.  Secretary of State William Gardner has said the law does not change the requirements to register to vote.

Election Fraud on a National Scale?  Dallas patriots Kevin Freeman, host of the Economic War Room on BlazeTV and Russ Ramsland, a voter fraud and election expert, have released detailed findings from a cyber/forensic investigation into election fraud utilizing compromised voting machines in 2018 (and quite probably, in the governor's race in 2019 in Kentucky). [...] This is the 21st century version of Stalin's ruthless observation, "it's not the people who vote that count, it's the people who count the votes."  Only today's Stalins can do it all by online penetration of unsecure 'voting machines' to count and alter votes, and leave almost no IT fingerprints.

Voting Machines in 16 States Tied to George Soros Ally.  Concerns are being raised over ties between George Soros, a billionaire and political activist with deep ties to Hillary Clinton, and an electronic voting company with machines in 16 states.  The chairman of the London-based company, Smartmatic International, is Lord Mark Malloch-Brown, who also works under Soros.  Malloch-Brown is on the board of the Open Society Foundations, run by Soros.  His brief biography on the Smartmatic website says he was also formerly the vice chairman of Soros's Investment Funds and of Soros's Open Society Foundations.  In the five days up to Oct. 26, a White House petition that calls on Congress to hold an emergency session about removing the Smartmatic voting machines received more than 71,000 signatures.

How President Trump Loses in 2020.  Here's how it will look.  The Democrats will continue to funnel huge sums of money into local races targeting swing districts using front organizations like Planned Parenthood and MoveOn.org.  The Establishment Republican Party will resign itself to failure in those districts, fail to mobilize voters, or act too late to make a difference.  Republican voters will fail to go to the polls and vote.  Republicans will fail to volunteer to act as polling officers and be in a position to prevent election fraud.  Over the next year, those who believe in Making America Great Again will do nothing to engage the apolitical or apathetic around them and convince them that their vote matters in the General Election.

N.C.'s Dem governor protects non-citizen voters as 2020 election nears.  A common-sense election security bill was shut down by North Carolina's Democratic governor, signaling that non-citizen voters have one less thing to worry about now.  Gov. Roy Cooper vetoed North Carolina Senate Bill 250 on Wednesday [11/6/2019].  The bill would have helped clean the state's elections by taking the information of those who were excused from jury duty for being non-citizens and allowing election officials to purge any of those people from the voter rolls.

Bizarre federal court ruling halts Indiana efforts to clean up voter rolls.  A three-judge panel of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals went to extraordinary lengths to come up with excuses for why a voter might need to be registered in more than one state.  For example, "someone might move to Kansas from Indiana to take a new job, and upon arrival in Kansas immediately register to vote in Kansas.  But if her personal circumstances change before Election Day — she flunks a probationary period on the job, a family member becomes sick, a better opportunity arises in Indiana — the person might decide to return to her former residence in Indiana."  But don't worry, said Judge Diane Wood, the Clinton appointee who wrote the opinion.  Those voters who are registered in more than one state "will vote in only one place, even if they have open registrations in two."  Really?

Outcome Of Aurora Mayoral Race Uncertain As Officials Sort Through Signature Discrepancies.  Aurora's race for mayor could come down to several hundred ballots with signature discrepancies.  Results posted Thursday afternoon on the Colorado Secretary of State website show former U.S. Rep. Mike Coffman with 26,201 votes and Omar Montgomery with 25,928 votes.  Coffman's 273 vote lead is above the threshold for an automatic recount, but that could change.

Report: 24K Voter Records in Florida County Contain Errors, Potential Fraud.  An election integrity watchdog has found 24,000 instances of irregularities among the voter rolls in Palm Beach County, Fla., according to a new report.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), a group that litigates to protect election integrity, discovered double voting by the same registrants, double registrants across state lines, deceased voters on rolls, and apparent noncitizens previously registered to vote in Palm Beach County following a three-month investigation involving office visits, records inspections, and voter roll audits.  The findings raise concerns in the swing state one year out from the 2020 elections.  It was Florida's election results that sent the 2000 presidential race between George W. Bush and Al Gore to the Supreme Court.  Palm Beach County itself faced massive criticism as recently as the 2018 midterm elections when it could not finish three state-mandated recounts by imposed deadlines.

Ayers' son, Chesa Boudin, claims he's leading the vote tally for San Francisco's DA.  If you want to know how bad San Francisco's gotten — and how much worse still it could get, get a load of this tweet, from Chesa Boudin, adopted son of Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn: [...] According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Boudin, who's running for District Attorney in San Francisco, is just 800 votes behind in that race and there are still 34,000 mail in ballots to count.  He's apparently benefited from the 'first choice' ranking of votes, which amounts to rigging in San Francisco.  If that and other California practices hold, Chesa's call to 'count all the ballots' is a not-so-disguised call for 'finding' ballot boxes that somehow got 'misplaced' and ballot-harvesting until enough votes can be totalled in favor of his win.  Maybe he has the connections for it.

Minneapolis man fraudulently signed 13 absentee ballots, charges say.  A warrant has been issued for a Minneapolis man who is accused of fraudulently signing absentee ballots as a witness.  Abdihakim Amin Essa, 22, is wanted on 13 counts of intentionally making or signing a false certificate, according to a document filed in Hennepin County District Court on Thursday [10/31/2019].  The court filing alleges that on July 30, 2018, two election workers at the Hennepin County Election Center claimed to have seen Essa, who was working as an election "helper" to voter registrants and absentee voters, bring a woman in for registration.  The woman did not have the right identification to register and was told to come back.  When she returned with a different "helper," the address on her voter registration had changed.

New York Lawmaker Proposes Bill Allowing Prisoners to Vote.  A New York state lawmaker is proposing legislation to make prison inmates eligible to vote in elections while incarcerated.  State Sen. Kevin Parker (D-Brooklyn) introduced a bill before Election Day on Tuesday, November 5, that would allow prisoners to register and vote while incarcerated, the New York Post reported.  The state and county boards of elections would keep tabs on the program, and convicted felons would also be allowed to take part.

Fairfax County Virginia 2019 voter guide:  Dumping the "progressives".  For voters, it's a blessing and a curse to live in a state like Virginia.  No one understands this more than the beleaguered Republican voters of Fairfax County, Virginia (Population:  1 million +).  The Commonwealth of Virginia (its official name) is one of a few states and jurisdictions in America that hold major elections in the "off-years."  By which we mean years during which neither Congressional nor Presidential elections take place.  That's part of the reason why determined, hard left Democrats have relentlessly turned this state blue over the past several election cycles.  In these oddball, off-year elections, relatively few voters turn out to cast their ballots, whether absentee or in-person.  That means that the party most effective in turning out its base is virtually guaranteed a win.  Which is a blessing for the party that does that.  And a curse for the party that does not.

New York to vote on system that may curb polarized politics.  Starting 26 October, voters have the option of switching to ranked-choice voting (RCV).  In this scenario, even if someone's top-choice candidate fails to get enough votes, their vote can still count.  Advocates of RCV see it as an effective way to ensure a winning candidate has received a true majority of the electorate's support.  They argue that it may encourage candidates to run on platforms that appeal to a broader range of people, without any worry of splitting the vote.

Hackers Say They Took Over Vote Scanners Like Those Coming to Georgia.  A report from the DEF CON Voting Machine Hacking Village conference described the discovery of a hack for commandeering ballot-scanning machines similar to those soon to be deployed in Georgia.  Hackers at the conference seeking weaknesses in voting technology broke into the scanner with a screwdriver and replaced a memory card, allowing them to run their own operating system.  Jeremy Epstein, vice chair of ACM's U.S. Technology Policy Committee and an election and cybersecurity expert, said the conference report emphasizes the need for both strong paper-ballot audits, and physical security of voting equipment.

California says independents can vote in Democrats' 2020 primary, but not Republicans'.  California's more than 5.6 million independent voters will be allowed to vote in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, but not in the Republican contest, Secretary of State Alex Padilla announced Monday [10/21/2019].

Federal judge rules Florida can't stop ex-felons from voting because of money owed to state for restitution.  A federal judge has ruled against a Florida law saying ex-felons can only vote if they are up to date on money owed to the state.  U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle declared the rule as unconstitutional in his 55-page opinion.  Hinkle acknowledged in his Friday ruling that the law will still likely go through the Florida Supreme Court or a federal trial.

Election fraud scheme on L.A.'s skid row got homeless to sign fake names for cigarettes and cash, D.A. says.  A forged signature swapped for $1 — or sometimes a cigarette.  The crude exchange played out hundreds of times on L.A.'s skid row during the 2016 election cycle and again this year, prosecutors said Tuesday as they announced criminal charges against nine people accused in a fraud scheme.  Using cash and cigarettes as lures, the defendants approached homeless people on skid row and asked them to forge signatures on state ballot measure petitions and voter registration forms, the district attorney's office said.  The defendants — some of whom were scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday [10/15/2019] — face several criminal charges, including circulating a petition with fake names, voter fraud and registering a fictitious person.

Democrats [are] turning California into a third-world hellhole.  Like all third-world tyrants, Democrats are doing everything they can to eliminate democracy in California.  The jungle primary, where the top two candidates in the primaries go against each other, has resulted in many races where two Democrats are running against each other, giving voters who don't agree with the Democrats' failed policies no one to vote for.  California is doing nothing to ensure that people who shouldn't vote don't vote.  Instead, the people running the state are doing everything possible to let illegal aliens vote.  When illegal aliens go pick up their driver's licenses, they're automatically enrolled to vote unless they say they're not citizens.  California is also trying to end democracy by keeping the Republican presidential candidate off the ballot.  Democrats passed an unconstitutional law to keep any candidate who didn't release his tax returns off the ballot solely to keep Californians from voting for Trump.

Democratic clerk charged with altering nearly 200 midterm elections ballots.  Sherikia Hawkins was arraigned Monday [9/23/2019] in Southfield, Michigan, on six counts related to the 2018 election including forging public documents and misconduct in office and was released on $15,000 bond, according to National Review Online.  "The alleged misconduct was discovered after the Oakland County Clerk's Office noticed that 193 voter files had been changed to reflect that the voters failed to include a valid signature or return date, when all of the implicated voters had in fact included both items.  The county clerk's office later discovered the original voter files in the trash at the election-division office," National Review wrote.

The Death of American Citizenship.  Does voting — the bedrock right of the democratic citizen — matter that much anymore?  In California, tens of thousands of votes were "harvested" by paid campaign operatives.  There was also abuse in state agencies in sending out voter registration forms to those who were not legally entitled to vote.

Democratic clerk charged with altering nearly 200 midterm elections ballots.  A Democratic city clerk in Michigan who had been honored by the state party for her work was charged this week with multiple felonies related to charges of altering absentee ballots.  Sherikia Hawkins was arraigned Monday in Southfield, Michigan, on six counts related to the 2018 election including forging public documents and misconduct in office and was released on $15,000 bond, according to National Review Online.

Democratic city clerk for Detroit suburb charged with 6 felonies for alleged election fraud.  A Democratic city clerk for the Detroit suburb of Southfield has been charged with six felony charges for allegedly committing election fraud.  Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel charged Southfield City Clerk Sherikia Hawkins on Monday with one count each of falsifying records, forgery of a public record, misconduct in office, and three counts of using a computer to commit a crime.

McConnell backs election security amendment after facing criticism.  Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Thursday [9/19/2019] he is backing a measure to improve election security after Senate Democrats slammed him for blocking bipartisan election security legislation.  The amendment to an appropriations package would provide an additional $250 million to the Trump administration to assist states with improving their voting systems and preventing foreign interference.

US Digital Voting Systems Are Vulnerable to Hacking.  At the 48th Phyllis Schlafly's Eagle Council, we sat down with Tony Shaffer, who was formerly a senior intelligence officer in the Department of Defense and is now president of the London Center for Policy Research.  We discuss the problems that exist in digital voting systems that make them vulnerable to hacking, and how foreign threats or bad actors domestically might try to manipulate our elections.  [Video clip]

Touch-Screen Voting Machines 'Flipped Votes' in Mississippi Race, Report.  Voters who cast ballots in Mississippi's Republican gubernatorial primary runoff have claimed the touch-screen voting machine switched their selected votes, according to reports.  Officials in two counties confirmed the alleged vote flipping malfunction.One of the candidate's campaign says they've heard of instances happening in several counties, were the machines automatically changed individuals' intended selections.  Facebook user Sally Kate Walker posted a video of a voter demonstrating the glitch.  [Video clip]

Voters say touchscreen machines switched their votes in nine Mississippi counties.  A viral video published on Facebook showed a voter baffled as a touchscreen voting machine repeatedly switched his vote in Tuesday's Mississippi gubernatorial runoff race.  "It is not letting me vote for who I want to vote for," the voter in the video is heard saying as he repeatedly tried to vote for former state Supreme Court Chief Justice Bill Waller Jr. but continued to see Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves' name marked on the machine.  "How can that happen?" a woman in the background is heard asking.

Shocking video shows touch-screen polling machine malfunctioning and repeatedly changing voter's selection in Mississippi's GOP governor primary runoff.  Shocking video that shows an electronic voting machine malfunction during Mississippi's runoff election has gone viral on the internet, sparking concern from citizens.  The clip was shared to Facebook on Tuesday [8/27/2019] by Oxford resident Sally Kate Walker, and shows a male voter trying to cast his ballot by selecting from two available options on a touch screen.  [Video clip]

Americans [are] concerned about legitimacy of 2020 election before it even happens: poll.  A new national poll shows nearly four in 10 Americans say they'd have little or no confidence that next year's presidential election was conducted fairly if the candidate they back ended up losing.  That's the sobering finding in a new Suffolk University Poll for USA Today that was released on Wednesday [8/28/2019].  The deep concerns about the legitimacy of the 2020 election crossed party lines — with 45 percent of Democrats and 30 percent of Republicans indicating they'd have serious questions about the legitimacy of the victory regardless of the winner.

Mississippi officials confirm multiple cases of voting machines changing votes in GOP governor runoff.  State officials have confirmed at least three reports of voting machines in two counties changing voters' picks in Mississippi's GOP gubernatorial primary runoff.  Former Supreme Court Chief Justice Bill Waller and Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves are currently in a runoff for the Republican nomination in the governor's race to see who will take on Democratic Attorney General Jim Hood in the November general election.

Did Dallas County's $1.1 Billion Bond Really Pass?  The largest community college district bond election ever attempted in Texas history, and the fourth largest bond overall, is being contested in a Dallas court.  Analysis of the official results by election integrity advocacy groups show numerous tabulation discrepancies that are enough to completely discredit the officially reported results.  Experts are sorting through a myriad of inconsistent election reports, computerized audit logs, conflicting tabulation numbers and sordid accounts of an environment rife with lawlessness, according to court documents.

How Can We Safeguard Our Election Process?  In the freest nation in the world, our system of government and our very liberty depend on free and fair elections.  Whether they're selecting a mayor or the president of the United States, every American must be able to trust the process, or the democratic system itself breaks down.  When someone commits voter fraud, the process is no longer fair, everyone's vote gets diluted, and in some cases, election results are changed.  Contrary to the claims of many on the left, voter fraud is a very real problem.  As the Supreme Court noted when it upheld Indiana's voter ID law, flagrant examples of voter fraud have been documented throughout this nation's history.

Federal judge rules against Maryland as Judicial Watch wins big to uncover obvious vote fraud potential.  Those Democrats who keep telling us that vote fraud is rare and insignificant fight [...] to make sure that the evidence remains buried.  Even when there are obvious danger signs such exist in Montgomery County, Maryland, where there are more registered voters than resident citizens.  You might think that officials would be anxious to find out why that is, and would be eager to clean up their voter rolls.  Certainly, any officials that cared about the integrity of the vote would want to ensure that malefactors would not be able to pick-up ballots and vote them (as the practice of "vote harvesting" permits).  But for reasons only they can explain, Maryland officials fought in federal court to prevent Judicial Watch from obtaining voter data lists.

Top Voting Machine Vendor Admits It Installed Remote-Access Software on Systems Sold to States.  The nation's top voting machine maker has admitted in a letter to a federal lawmaker that the company installed remote-access software on election-management systems it sold over a period of six years, raising questions about the security of those systems and the integrity of elections that were conducted with them.  In a letter sent to Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) in April and obtained recently by Motherboard, Election Systems and Software acknowledged that it had "provided pcAnywhere remote connection software ... to a small number of customers between 2000 and 2006," which was installed on the election-management system ES&S sold them.

10% of 2020 Voting Machines Are Vulnerable to Hacking.  More than one in 10 voters could cast ballots on paperless voting machines in the 2020 general election, according to a new analysis, leaving their ballots vulnerable to hacking.

Recount Defeat of AOC-backed Socialist LGBTQ Activist in NYC DA Race Shows Need For Paper Ballots.  Tiffany Caban, the latest darling of the Democratic Socialists of America, has been uncrowned, as a result of a vote recount in Queens, New York.  As we reported on July 3, Tiffany Caban and her supporters (and much of the media) rushed to proclaim her the victor in the down-to-the-wire Democratic primary race for district attorney for the New York City borough of Queens.  However, after weeks of court wrangling and recounts, Caban conceded to Melinda Katz, losing by a mere 55 votes — out of more than 90,000 ballots cast.  The recount could only be done, thanks to the use of paper ballots, which has become increasingly rare, as states, counties, and municipalities have shifted to the use of electronic voting machines.

Nearly 84,000 duplicate voter records found in audit of California's 'motor voter' system.  California's ambitious effort to automate voter registration at Department of Motor Vehicle offices produced almost 84,000 duplicate records and more than twice that number with political party mistakes, according to an audit released Friday by state officials.  The analysis covered just the first five months of the new "motor voter" program, which was launched in April 2018.  It found a wide array of problems with the rollout of the DMV system, including a limited amount of testing as well as inconsistent and confusing lines of communication between the state agencies involved in its creation.  Many of the findings align with documents discovered by the Los Angeles Times in an investigation earlier this year of the motor voter program.

The Democrats' Blueprint To Steal 2020 From The Voters Of America.  This summer the State of New York attempted a two-step process to allow the maximum number of people to vote — whether they were legally allowed to or not.  The one-sided, Democrat-controlled State bodies passed the issuing of driver's licenses to non-citizens/illegal aliens.  But that same group of Democrats also nearly passed the automatically completed voter registration of every license issued.  Aliens would have had to "opt out."  Just in case they didn't, the language also included a provision protecting the illegal voter and the authorities from any criminal wrongdoing.  This measure passed one chamber, would've been signed by the governor, and had it not been for a true watchdog in the Assembly, would've already become law.  With the enormous push by non-citizens storming our gates to get in, the corrupt powers incentivizing as much, you have to see the roadmap here could have dramatic impact anyway it is adopted.

Nearly 1 Million Californians Registered to Vote Are Ineligible, Says Non-Partisan Group.  A non-partisan group has reported that there are still several counties in California where the number of registered voters is greater than the number of eligible citizens, with the total nearing one million people.  The Election Integrity Project California (EIPCa) stated in a release on July 8 that if voter problems are not promptly addressed by state officials, fraudulent election activities may continue to haunt the state.

Iowa, Nevada to launch caucus voting by phone for 2020.  Democrats in the early presidential contest states of Iowa and Nevada will be able to cast their votes over the telephone instead of showing up at their states' traditional neighborhood caucus meetings next February, according to plans unveiled by the state parties.

The Editor says...
Voting in the U.S. is supposed to be conducted by secret ballot.  How many of you believe that what you say over the phone is kept secret?

Neutering Electoral College means more vote fraud.  Think California voter fraud is no big deal?  After all, most of us don't reside there.  And it's already a deep blue state.  It's not as if voter fraud in the Golden State could possibly affect other states — right?  NBC News — yes, NBC News — reported:  "Widespread Voting Fraud Scheme Targets Los Angeles' Homeless — Prosecutors have accused the group of 14 felonies for a variety of alleged acts during the 2016 and 2018 election cycles."  I was stunned when I saw that leftist NBC actually broke this story, considering it was one of many mainstream media outlets that has insisted for years that there was no fraud being perpetrated by the Democrats.

The Humanitarian Hoax of Ballot Harvesting.  The idea that organized workers pick up ballots and drop them off at a polling place or election office is equivalent to a broken chain of evidence in a criminal jury trial.  When the chain is broken the evidence is inadmissible because it may have been tampered with.  Anyone with a functioning brain cell understands that ballot harvesting is an invitation for voter fraud because the ballot chain is broken.  Ballot harvesting is the first head of the hydra, next are unclean voting rolls. [...] In 2012, Obama's corrupt attorney general Eric Holder actually sued Florida "to block its efforts to purge its voter rolls of dead people and non-U.S. citizens and to stop further attempts before the November 2012 presidential election."  Tom Fitton just won a huge case in California in which Los Angeles County has sent notices to 1.5 million inactive voters.  This is the first step toward removing ineligible voters from the voter rolls.

Cash or cigarettes?: Nine face vote-fraud charges, bribing homeless for signatures.  Authorities in Los Angeles have indicted nine people on felony voter-fraud charges, accusing the defendants of using homeless people to forge signatures on voter-registration and petition forms.  According to NBC News, the indictment involves 14 felony counts related to electioneering in the 2016 and 2018 political cycles, though none of the nine defendants has been charged on all of them.  The charges in the indictment include, according to NBC, "circulating an initiative with forged or fictitious names, signing fictitious names, registering fictitious persons, and making payment for signatures."

Illegals voting is abridgment (of our votes) too far.  The Fourteenth Amendment, which spells out the basic qualifications for being eligible to vote in U.S. elections, contains references to both citizens and persons in the United States.  This provides adequate justification for determining which persons are citizens.  (Justice Roberts doesn't seem to agree.  On the other hand, it doesn't matter if the question is on the Census or not because illegals can just lie, as they did about seeking asylum.)  What will be important and even crucial is to have a way to determine if a given person is a citizen at voting time. [...] The reference to "right to vote" is limited not to protecting your right to go through the process of casting a vote, but to having the vote be fully counted, not just enumerated.  When your vote is partially annulled by an illegally cast vote, your vote counts less.

Oops!
"Typo" In Legislation Would Have Automatically Registed Non-Citizens To Vote.  It would have made for quite a convenient "accident" for Democrat politicians increasingly desperate to allow more illegal votes to sway upcoming elections.  It also provides yet more proof for those who have long feared widespread corruption within the U.S. election system that almost always seems to favor the far-left Democrat Party cause.

Obvious:
Loophole in law granting illegal immigrants driver's licenses could lead to voter fraud.  A loophole in the new law granting driver's licenses to illegal immigrants could allow hundreds of thousands of people to fraudulently register to vote in New York, according to critics, the state Board of Elections and the bill's own sponsor.  "[A] major concern is that many states, including New York, use their DMVs to enroll voters.  Since New York does not have voter-identification laws like the majority of other states do, this bill increases the potential for voter fraud," state Sen. Republican Minority Leader John Flanagan (R-Suffolk) said Tuesday [6/18/2019].

Loophole in NY law granting illegals driver's licenses could lead to massive voter fraud.  A loophole in New York's new law allowing illegal aliens to obtain driver's licenses could actually make it easier for them to vote, leading to widespread vote fraud in federal elections, the New York Post reported Wednesday [6/19/2019].  According to critics, the NY Board of Elections and the sponsor of the bill, it could lead to "radical" changes that will throw future elections into doubt in the Empire State, leaving some to question whether Democrats who passed the bill knew exactly what they were doing.

FBI, DHS Contacted Over Stealth Dem Effort to Gain Voter Data.  A massive effort to obtain Michigan voter data spearheaded by powerhouse Democratic group Priorities USA was so "unusual" that top officials in the state contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Homeland Security over the matter, internal emails provided to the Washington Free Beacon show.  Michigan clerks began receiving "mystery" Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests last year from an opaque limited liability company, the United Impact Group LLC, seeking a large assortment of voter data from across the state, including ballots cast in the 2016 elections.  The efforts were later linked to the Priorities USA Foundation, the separate but affiliated nonprofit arm of Priorities USA Action, the largest outside liberal super PAC.

Hillary's People's Republic of California Jungle Primary Voter Suppression.  In the 2018 midterm general election California voters had the choice for US Senate on the general election ballot between liberal Democrat Senator Diane Feinstein or even more liberal Democrat opponent.  There were no Republicans on the US Senate General Election ballot in 2018.  Two years earlier, in 2016, liberal Democrat Kamala Harris was elected US Senator by defeating Liberal Democrat opponent Loretta Sanchez in the general election.  Again, There were no Republican candidates on the general election ballot for Senator in 2016.

19 Arrests Later, a Texas Town Is Torn Apart Over Voter Fraud.  The story that thrust a Rio Grande Valley city into the national spotlight is hardly a new anomaly, say residents such as Richard Monte.  "Down here, voter fraud is not all that unusual," says Monte, a city planning consultant in a brown suit jacket, sitting with other activists at a table in Coffee Zone on McColl Road.  "It's unusual when they get prosecuted."  Now, for this south Texas town, that unusual moment has arrived.  A November 2017 mayoral election has been under scrutiny from local and state officials, and 19 arrests have been made over alleged voter fraud.  The mayor — and winner of the 2017 election — was indicted earlier this month, along with his wife.

Burned Brexit Party Ballots, Voter Fraud Under Investigation.  Police are investigating allegedly burned ballots while voter fraud questions are being raised over the result of the Peterborough by-election (special election) in the United Kingdom last week.  A local Labour Party campaigner previously convicted of electoral fraud was present throughout the campaign and, critically, at the official election count.  The result — declared late Thursday night — saw Nigel Farage's Brexit Party denied its first seat in parliament by just 683 votes.

Leftists pushing "vote by phone" scheme to rig all future elections and allow illegals more say than Americans.  If the Democrat Left is pushing a new way for people to cast their ballots, you can be sure of one thing:  It's because they believe they can game the system and use it to pad their ballot counts on election day.  To cheat, in other words — because that's the only way their party can win many, if not most, elections these days.

Security Experts Concerned by Silicon Valley's Push for 'Vote by Phone' Elections.  Silicon Valley investors have already gotten some election officials to begin using "vote by phone" technology, and hope that the concept will flourish, eventually becoming the new standardized voting procedure.  Experts in coding and cryptography, however, are concerned over the tech innovation, warning that it will introduce more problems than it will solve.

The Editor says...
If this scheme is implemented, something tells me we would be moving away from "one man, one vote" to "one vote per phone number."  But there may be households where multiple eligible voters share the same phone, and at the other extreme, there have been cases where people have bought 1000 cell phones at a time, obviously not for any legitimate purpose.

DC Considering Voting Rights for Prisoners.  Washington, DC, could become the first jurisdiction to restore voting rights for prisoners after a majority of its council-members on Tuesday backed bills to give incarcerated individuals voting rights and the ability to vote via absentee ballots.  Council-member Robert White (D) introduced legislation that would give voting rights to "residents convicted and imprisoned for committing felonies."  Another bill would allow D.C. residents in federal prisons to vote with absentee ballots.

The Trouble of Voting.  The "For the People Act" doesn't stop at violating the First Amendment.  Less publicized but still extremely detrimental provisions would change how states hold elections.  It would take powers delegated to the states in Article 1 of the Constitution and mandate early voting, automatic voter registration, same-day registration, online voter registration, and no-fault absentee balloting.  While there are legitimate concerns about low civic engagement that might be addressed by automatic voter registration or making Election Day a national holiday, other items like online voter registration or same-day registration are ripe for fraud and abuse.  Democrats also appear to treat voter-roll integrity very cavalierly; H.R. 1 would prevent election officials from maintaining clean voter rolls or purging inactive voters from the rolls.  The law would also unilaterally wipe away state voter-ID laws by allowing individuals to sign a statement affirming their identity.

Democrats Are All About Restricting Ballot Access If It Helps Stop Trump.  Earlier this month, California began to join the growing chorus of Democrat-run states that are restricting which candidates may be listed on the presidential ballot.  Normally, Democrats decry any limits on ballot access, be they for candidates or voters, but this bill is different.  Why?  Because it is an undisguised attempt to keep Donald Trump off the ballot, and when Trump enters the equation, his opponents throw all other calculations out the window.  The bill is dressed up as a law to compel the president to release his tax returns, but it is really a form of nullification of federal law, the act of Resistance enragés who care for nothing so much as the idea that Donald Trump should not be allowed to occupy the White House.  They will allow no law or Constitution to stand in the way of that goal.

Deplatforming the Platformers:  Why Antitrust Legislation Is the Way to Go.  Having failed to impeach President Trump on grounds of collusion with the Russians, the Democratic left and its allies have turned to other weapons in their arsenal to obstruct his reelection.  Their instruments can be very potent:  a media blitzkrieg, the raising of the dead (the cemetery vote), multiple vote counting, newly franchised illegal voters, massive vote harvesting, and social media censorship -- all of which constitute a campaign of monstrous voter fraud.

Will Suppression Truthers Depress 2020 Democratic Turnout?  It should be obvious to these Democratic demagogues that supporters upon whom they heavily rely are also the most likely to believe the suppression canard and conclude that there is little point in trying to vote.  Several surveys conducted before and after last year's midterms show that the voter blocs that tend to lean Democratic are the least confident that vote counts are accurate in national elections.  Blacks, for example, constitute a crucial voting bloc for Democrats and the Pew Research Center found that only 20 percent were "very confident" their votes would be counted as they intended.  Hispanics and Millennials tend to be even less sanguine.

Hillary Clinton joins vast Democratic campaign to undermine faith in US elections.  The Democratic Party's unofficial campaign to cast Republican-won elections as illegitimate is in full swing.  Two-time failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, for example, suggested this weekend that she would be in the White House now were it not for the "fact" that the 2016 election was stolen from her.  "You can run the best campaign, you can even become the nominee, and you can have the election stolen from you," she said Saturday evening [5/4/2019].

Here come the hanging chads and the lawyers.
Pelosi: We Cannot 'Accept' a Second Term for Donald Trump.  Tuesday [5/7/2019] at an event in New York City hosted by Cornell University's Institute of Politics & Global Affairs, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said Democrats could not "accept a second term for Donald Trump."  Pelosi said, "We have to make sure — this will sound political but we have to make sure that the Constitution wins the next presidential election.  We can't be worrying about well, how long is this going to take?  Well, that will take as long as it does. [...]"

Mark Steyn:  Clinton and Abrams are making politics 'impossible'.  Conservative commentator and author Mark Steyn said Monday [5/6/2019] on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" that Democrats are making politics nearly "impossible" by refusing to accept election losses.  Steyn is reacting to former 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton saying this weekend that the election was "stolen" from her by Trump and the Russians.  And by former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams refusing to concede.

Democrats, Stop Delegitimizing Our Elections.  We're reaching a dangerous point in American politics.  Many millions of our most engaged and most politically passionate citizens fervently believe that when they lose close elections, it's because the other side has "stolen" victory.  They believe that if elections are truly free and fair, their side will win.  And they're not just getting that idea from the fever swamps of the conspiracy-theory Internet, they get it from the leaders of American political parties.

New effort launches to democratically elect the vice president in 2020.  There's a national push for voters to elect the U.S. vice presidentseparately from the president.  Vice.run, is a campaign that seeks to create a separate and independent ballot line for the vice president in 2020. The group is trying to collect — from all 50 states — voter signatures and pledges in support of the separate vice president election.  "An independently-elected vice president would give American voters a new level of direct control over who serves in the White House," Vice.run says on its website.

Fractionalized governments are unstable.  Maybe that's the point.

Florida GOP moves to rein in felon voting rights.  Republicans in the country's largest swing state, ahead of what promises to be a heated 2020 battle, on Thursday [5/2/2019] moved to rein in the number of former felons allowed to cast ballots in next year's presidential election. [...] Republicans insisted the move was a response to vague wording in a voter-approved amendment to rescind a Civil War-era rule denying former convicts the right to vote.  But Democrats viewed the effort with suspicion, calling it an effort to blunt the potential political impact of an entire class of new voters.

It's Not Trump Derangement Syndrome.  The derangement we are facing is not Orange Man Bad; it is America Bad.  The Democrats don't believe in our two-party system anymore. [...] They don't want any safeguards against voter fraud.  In fact, they want to legalize a broad highway to fraud, voter "harvesting."  Paid political operatives go door to door, picking up unused mail-in ballots (sent out without request if Democrats have their way), fill them in for the Democrat candidate, and voilà, the Democrats win.  They just rolled out the beta test in Orange County, and it flipped long-time red districts blue.  To win in 2020, Democrats will commit every voter scam and fraud ever invented and they are in the process of inventing a whole lot of new ones.

Jail survey: 7 in 10 felons register as Democrats.  A new study of how criminals vote found that most convicts register Democratic, a key reason in why liberal lawmakers and governors are eager for them to get back into the voting booth after their release.  "Democrats would benefit from additional ex-felon participation," said the authoritative study in The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science.  The authors, professors from the University of Pennsylvania and Stanford University, found that in some states, felons register Democratic by more than six-to-one.  In New York, for example, 61.5 percent of convicts are Democrats, just 9 percent Republican.  They also cited a study that found 73 percent of convicts who turn out for presidential elections would vote Democrat.

15 Serial Killers, Rapists, Kidnappers, Child Molesters [who are] Eligible to Vote Under Bernie Sanders' Plan.  This week, socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) endorsed a plan that would allow felons serving time behind bars the right to vote from their prison cells.  "So, I believe people who commit crimes, they pay the price and they get out of jail, they certainly should have the right to vote," Sanders said during a town hall.  "But, I believe even if they are in jail, they're paying the price to society, but that should not take away their inherent American right to participate in our democracy."  Initially, Sen. Kamala Harris said, "I think we should have that conversation" when asked about allowing convicted criminals to vote from their cells, but she has since backtracked on that statement, declaring that she actually opposes giving felons in prison the right to vote.  "Do I think that people who commit murder and people who are terrorists should be deprived of their rights, yes I do," Harris said.

Chris Cuomo & Don Lemon on Democrats OK with terrorists voting.  When the far left fringe people on CNN think the Democrats "way out there" — that's a good indication that the Dems are losing their mind and scrambling for free votes.  [Video clip]

In The Maw Of Wokeness.  [Scroll down]  First, keep in mind the states are required to cull their voter lists.  "The 1993 National Voter Registration Act mandates that state and local elections officers keep voter registration lists accurate by removing the names of people who die, move or fail in successive elections to vote."  Second, those 1,000 voting machines:  they were withheld "because of an ongoing federal lawsuit that argues Georgia's electronic voting machines could be hacked or tampered with."  Abrams' allies have made similar claims:  "The suit was filed last November by Fair Fight Action, the nonprofit arm of a new voting rights organization founded by [Stacey] Abrams..."  Prior to the midterms, there was a question whether the machines were vulnerable to being hacked, so a September ruling from U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg — an Obama appointee and sister of liberal reporter Nina Totenberg — ordered them sequestered.  Third, that 27 percent of Wisconsin black voters?  It was based on a "survey" of a grand total of 288 people, and they were asked whether they were "deterred", not blocked.

Republicans Cannot Win If 'Ballot Harvesting' Remains Legal.  California Republicans are determined to take back the four congressional seats they lost in Orange County in 2018, among the seven the party lost statewide.  They have some political momentum, as Nancy Pelosi's Democrats have proven incapable of doing anything except arguing about impeaching President Donald Trump.

Edinburg mayor, wife surrender to authorities on illegal voting charges.  Edinburg Mayor Richard Molina and his wife Dalia Molina have turned themselves in to authorities after warrants were issued for their arrests on illegal voting charges stemming from the city's November 2017 election, according to a law enforcement source with knowledge of the case.  The Molinas are expected to be arraigned later today on multiple charges.  The Edinburg mayor has been dogged by allegations of engaging in and encouraging voter fraud ever since he won the election in November 2017.

The Editor says...
The Editor lived in Edinburg for about a week, back in the summer of 1971.  It was a nice, quiet town.  The Editor had just moved there from Abilene, which was another nice, quiet town.  Both cities have changed a lot since then, for many of the same reasons.

Soros-Funded Groups Work to Register 1.4 Million Ex-Felons Ahead of 2020.  The current battle revolves around a Florida state amendment that was passed last year restoring voting rights for felons, with progressive groups opposing a local bill that would require the state's ex-felons to first pay civil fines and court fees before registering to vote.  Florida's Amendment Four was approved by voters during last year's Midterm election.  The heavily Soros-funded American Civil Liberties Union and Brennan Center for Justice based in New York both served as consultants in drafting Amendment Four.

The Editor says...
The loss of voting privileges is part of the punishment for felonies.  One can pay his or her "debt to society" in the penitentiary, but one of the traditional deterrents to felonious behavior is to be permanently banned from voting, jury duty, and with various types of licensing, among other things.  Crime and punishment, minus punishment, leaves only crime.

Felon Voting:  Suicide for Republicans.  Jared Kushner, President Trump's son-in-law and top adviser, thinks felons could be part of the Republican Party's "new coalition."  Last week, he made a dubious claim:  "One statistic that I found very pleasing, is that in Florida, they passed a law where former felons can now vote.  We have more ex-felons registered as Republicans than Democrats."  This is a not uncommon view among Republicans.  Black conservative Candace Owens said last September she believes most felons, if given the vote, would "vote against the Left."  Conservatives Charles and David Koch support felon enfranchisement, and they influence the groups they fund.  Some conservatives even backed a 2015 federal measure that would have given non-violent felons the right to own a gun as well as vote.

Some Things to Ponder.  There's a push to change laws to permit both criminals serving time and ex-criminals the right to vote.  Guess which party is pushing the most for these legal changes.  If you guessed that it was the Democrats, go to the head of the class.  Bernie Sanders says states should allow felons to vote from behind bars.  Elizabeth Warren doesn't go that far but believes felons should have the right to vote.  Democrats want the criminal class to have voting rights restored because they could become a significant part of the Democratic base.  These are America's murderers, rapists, burglars, child molesters and drug dealers.  Over two million of these people are in prison.

Preparing for 2020 in Our So-called 'Democracy'.  If one had to prove that the vote counts in a federal election were correct and legitimate, how would one do that, what would it entail?  Well, given the state of America's banana-republic election systems, I'm here to tell you that no crack team of experts could demonstrate what the legitimate vote counts are in any of our federal elections.  To do so would require that the experts know who cast each ballot, and then they would need to ascertain that voter's eligibility.  Basically, they'd have to reregister all the voters.  One reason that no one can prove what the legitimate vote count is in an American election is because there is no linkage between the ballots and the voters who cast them.  But even if the ballots did have linkage to the voters, our crack team would still need to verify that each voter is an eligible American citizen, and not a Russian, Mexican, Honduran, Salvadoran, or some other foreign national.

Bernie Sanders:  Murderers and Rapists Should Vote from Prison.  The ACLU launched its bid to push for criminals voting from prison.  In the radical 2020 primaries, some candidate is bound to sign on to a leftist proposal, no matter how insane.  And usually Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders or Beto O'Rourke will take the lead in that regard.  So no real shock that Bernie jumped on this one.

In Iowa, Bernie Sanders says states should allow felons to vote from behind bars.  While Iowa struggles on whether to restore voting rights to felons who have completed their prison sentences, Sen. Bernie Sanders said people convicted of felonies should never lose access to the ballot box in the first place.  At a town hall meeting in Muscatine's West Middle School gymnasium Saturday [4/6/2019], the Vermont senator was asked whether the imprisoned should have the right to vote.  Only his home state and Maine allow felons to vote from behind bars.  "I think that is absolutely the direction we should go," he said.

Here Are 4 Egregious Ways the Left Wants to Transform American Politics.  [#4] Lowering the Voting Age:  Liberals know that young people tend to vote Democratic.  It's with age and, dare we say, wisdom that people tend to turn to the right.  From the March for Our Lives to this month's mass walkout to demand passage of the Green New Deal and other climate change measures, our children — at least, the loudest of them — clearly are not shy about their liberal inclinations.  Indeed, half of young Americans favor socialism, probably because schools have utterly failed to teach them about the costs of collectivist ideologies.  And when socialism is all about a free lunch, free health care, and free college tuition, it doesn't sound so bad.

Hunt for Blue November:  Democrats would sooner destroy America than lose to Trump in 2020.  With the likelihood of a Democratic candidate ousting Trump in 2020 looking like mission impossible, the party is resorting to a number of desperate and even dangerous tactics to steal as many voters as possible. [...] And since they have no platform to speak of, aside from Trump bashing, they must resort to unsavory methods.  One creative method for robbing the ballot involves 'robbing the cradle,' that is, reducing the voting age from 18 to 16 years old.  Yes, allow adolescents who are too young to legally drink alcohol, buy smokes and fight in wars to participate in such discussions.  Sounds like a genius plan.

Constitutional Fairyland.  Various of the numberless swarm of presidential aspirants in that party have glibly chimed in with their views of how to modify American government to assure a permanent "progressive" majority.  Gathering steam now are absurd ideas to side-step the Electoral College, pack the Supreme Court, lower the voting age to 16, and divide the political rubble heap of California into three or four states to create more Democratic senators. [...] The bunk about the Electoral College is an attempt to subvert the basis of the American federal system. [...] The rest of it — lowering the voting age and splitting California into several states — is just a naked partisan power grab.

Democratic Superstars Get Away with Questioning the Integrity of Elections.  When [Stacey] Abrams finally acknowledged defeat 10 days after the election, she said, "I will not concede because the erosion of our democracy is not right."  She has since stated "it was not a free and fair election in Georgia."  And finally last week, she said, "I did win my election, I just didn't get to to [sic] have the job." [...] Abrams did not win her election — she lost by more than 50,000 votes — and Kemp exceeded the 50-percent threshold to avoid a runoff.  Also, digging into her complaints about Kemp — Georgia's secretary of state before becoming governor — reveal her claims of a rigged race are unfounded.  Turnout and registrations?  They spiked in Georgia during his time in office.  The purging of inactive voters?  Implementation of a law passed by Georgia Democrats in the 1990s.

Gillum's 'red flag' plan to stop Trump: 1M more Florida voters.  Andrew Gillum announced a plan Wednesday to register and turn-out 1 million new and low-propensity Florida voters in an effort to crush President Donald Trump's reelection chances in the nation's largest swing state. [...] "We're looking at a target of 1 million," he said.  "We've got over 3 million people eligible to vote, and that's to say nothing of the 1.4 million returning citizens" — former felons in line to have their voting rights restored under a constitutional amendment approved by voters last year.

Democrats are Changing to Rules on Voting to Ensure Permanent Majorities for Them.  President Clinton signed the original Motor Voter bill into law in May of 1993, just four months after assuming office.  There is a video in the Clinton Library archive of the signing ceremony.  If you watch it, you can harbor little doubt that this was a major legislative milestone for the Democrats.  The opening scene presents Clinton as a larger-than-life, almost heroic figure.  Even the formulators of the Cloward-Piven Strategy for forcing political change through orchestrated crisis are present.  One even speaks to congratulate the President for his accomplishment.  Watching this now and considering where we are politically and culturally, and all the crises that have come and gone over the intervening years or are still with us, there is little question that the Democrats knew exactly what they were going to do with Motor Voter.  And they managed it in spades.

Nancy Pelosi is trying to federalize California's bad election laws.  H.R. 1 would be incomplete without the latest attempt to resuscitate the preclearance portion of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which forced some states to ask federal permission to make any change at all to their election procedures.  Sponsors want you to believe voting discrimination is as pervasive as it was in 1965.  But it's 2019, not 1965, and times have changed.

To Push America Further Left, Democrats Seek Dramatic Election Reform.  With the recent House resolution supporting non-citizen voting, the Democratic Party has embraced what a few years ago would have been viewed as a radical policy.  The Constitution only speaks to citizenship being a qualification for voting in federal elections.  It is silent on whether states and localities can allow non-American citizens to vote.  This movement is gaining steam.  The Democratic Party's indifference to hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants flowing across the southern border makes a lot of sense when viewed in the context of this policy.  While Democrats push these changes to supposedly "protect democracy," the changes are really designed to do one thing: make it easier for leftists to tighten their grip on government at every level.

Pelosi Says She Personally Supports Lowering The Voting Age To 16.  House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said at her weekly press conference Thursday [3/14/2019] she personally would support lowering the national voting age to 16.  "I myself, personally, I'm not speaking for my caucus, I myself have always been for lowering the voting age to 16," Pelosi said when asked by The Daily Caller about her thoughts on the issue.  "I think it's really important to capture kids when they're in high school when they're interested in all of this when they're learning about government to be able to vote."  "Some of the priorities in this bill are about transparency and openness and accessibility, and the rest," she added.  "That's a subject of debate but my view is that I would welcome it, but I've been in that position for a long time."

Does anyone think giving 16-year-olds a vote is a good idea?  Giving every human past puberty a vote sounds like an inspired way to be "inclusive" and "diverse" to the young impressionables, but liberals forget — or they ignore — the immense responsibilities wrapped up in the franchise.

Pelosi Says She'd Personally Welcome Lowering the Voting Age.  At a news conference on Thursday [3/14/2019], House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was asked if she approves of lowering the voting age to 16.  "I myself — I'm not speaking for my caucus — I myself have always been for lowering the voting age to 16.  I think it's really important to capture kids when they're in high school, when they're interested in all of this, when they're learning about government, to be able to vote."

Next Up: Democrats Want Children to Vote.  It's dangerous to laugh at proposals like child-voting when the advocates are deadly serious.  Oregon Senator Shemia Fagan introduced legislation at a press conference to allow sixteen-year-olds to vote.  She was flanked by teens wearing homemade T-shirts criticizing firearms.  "Sixteen-year-olds are couch surfing with friends while their families are experiencing homelessness, and begging us to take action to protect their future and planet," Fagan said.  As long as democracies have existed, and as long as this democratic republic has existed, voters must be adults.  This, the latest in a long march of transformational rules over our elections, is a loud alarm that these efforts to change election process rules are really an effort to change America.

Voter rights doesn't mean everyone has right to vote.  Felons.  Sixteen-year-olds.  Noncitizens.  Let 'em all vote.  Serial killers?  Slip them a ballot, too.  We're literally giving away votes.  The Democratic-controlled House, driven by partisan zeal, is going to ridiculous lengths to increase its political power by opening up the right to vote to just about any living, breathing human — as long as they vote Democrat.  The latest display came on a meaningless Republican resolution with a pretty simple goal — embarrass Democrats into rejecting this language:  "It is the sense of Congress that allowing illegal immigrants the right to vote devalues the franchise and diminishes the voting power of United States Citizens."

The Democrats' Election-Reform Bill Is an Unconstitutional, Authoritarian Power Grab.  It's called the "For the People Act," and it's a legislative buffet of bad ideas.  The alleged purpose of the bill, H.R. 1, is to "expand Americans' access to the ballot box, reduce the influence of big money in politics, and strengthen ethics rules for public servants."  In reality, the bill represents an extraordinary federal power grab.  At every turn, it grants federal regulators more power.  Time and again, it renders federal election law more complex — creating a chilling effect on political communication through sheer uncertainty and confusion.  The free-speech problems are so obvious that free-speech organizations on the left and right are united in opposition.  Comprehensive analyses from the Institute for Free Speech and the American Civil Liberties Union are worth reading in their entirety and raise remarkably similar concerns.

If You Wanted to Pass a Law to Encourage Voter Fraud.  On Thursday [3/7/2019], on a party line vote, Nancy Pelosi's Democrats in the House of Representatives passed H.R. 1, dubbed the "For the People Act of 2019."  It is a massive federal intrusion into the states' constitutionally-protected realm of regulating and maintaining voter rolls.  It's also a recipe for voter fraud.  Republicans in the House correctly derided it as a "voter fraud and election theft" bill.  But that understates how bad it is.  H.R. 1 rolls out the red carpet for election fraud.

125 House Dems — and one Republican — vote in favor of bill to lower voting age to 16.  On Thursday [3/7/2019] over 50 percent of House Democrats voted in favor of a widely panned measure to lower the voting age for all federal elections from 18 to 16.  Introduced by freshman congresswoman Ayanna Pressley and backed by the likes of anti-Semitic, Muslim freshman congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, among others in the radical freshmen class, the measure failed to pass only because of opposition from most Republicans and 108 Democrats.  Meanwhile, a whopping 125 Democrats and one Republican, Texas Congressman Michael C. Burgess, voted in favor of the measure.

How Ballot Harvesting Corrupts Elections.  Observers of our elections know something fishy went on in Orange County, California and in Arizona last fall, and they know that there are strange happenings in North Carolina.  For most, however, the details remain fuzzy.  These happenings have to do with the practice of ballot harvesting:  that is, the practice of having union members or partisan volunteers coordinate and go house to house to pick up absentee ballots that haven't been returned and then drop those ballots off at a polling place or precinct board within the voter's correct jurisdiction.  Mind you, these volunteers or activists don't have to be election officials.  They can be literally anyone.  It feels like a complete understatement to ask, but what could possibly go wrong in this scenario?  In a word, everything.

Democrats Want Illegal Aliens Voting in U.S. Elections.  In case you missed it last week, House Democrats voted against a motion preventing illegal aliens from voting. [...] Meanwhile, Speaker Nancy Pelosi argued during a press conference last week we should be welcoming our "newcomers" by allowing them to vote.  "When we talk about newcomers, we have to recognize the constant reinvigoration of America that they are, that we all have been, our families," Pelosi said in Texas.  "These newcomers make America more American.  And we want them, when they come here, to be fully part of our system and that means not suppressing the vote of our newcomers to America."

Ballot Harvesting Divide Persists Amid Elections Debate.  During last week's fierce partisan debate over House Democrats' campaign finance/elections and ethics overhaul, there was one thing Republicans and Democrats appeared to agree on:  the dearth of information about ballot harvesting — the controversial practice of campaign workers, union members, and volunteers collecting mail-in ballots from voters and delivering them to election officials to be counted — and its impact on elections.  Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell criticized the Democratic measure, which was designed to make voting easier and which passed on a party-line vote, for not addressing "sketchy" ballot harvesting practices.

House Passes Voting Rules Bill Derided as 'Voter Fraud and Election Theft'.  The House on Thursday [3/7/2019] passed a sweeping Democrat bill on voting regulations, campaign finance, and ethics rules that conservatives have derided as a "voter fraud and election theft" wish list.  The House passed H.R. 1, known as the For the People Act, which was approved on staunch party lines by 234-193 vote. [...] [It] would expand early voting, enact redistricting changes, make Election Day a federal holiday, automatically register voters, and force stricter disclosure laws for many political activities.

TX Poll:  Majority — Including 40% of Latinos — Believe Non-Citizens Vote.  A majority of voters in Texas — including 40% of Latinos — believe that non-citizens vote in elections either "sometimes" or "frequently," according to a University of Texas/Texas Tribune survey released on Wednesday [3/6/2019].  The poll found that 55% of white voters, 48% of black voters, and 40% of Hispanic voters believe that non-citizens "vote sometimes or frequently" in state elections.

Nancy Pelosi:  New Immigrants Must Not Have Their Votes Suppressed.  House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said the United States must not suppress the vote of newly arrived legal immigrants — including those foreign nationals who arrive en masse at the U.S.-Mexico border.  During a press conference in Austin, Texas this week, Pelosi admitted that the goal for the country's mass illegal and legal immigration system is to ensure the more than 1.5 million new arrivals who come to the U.S. every year are on the voter rolls.  Pelosi added that it is immigrants, not American citizens, who make the nation "more American."

House votes in favor of illegal immigrant voting.  House Democrats voted Friday to defend localities that allow illegal immigrants to vote in their elections, turning back a GOP attempt to discourage the practice.  The vote marks a stunning reversal from just six months ago, when the chamber — then under GOP control — voted to decry illegal immigrant voting.  "We are prepared to open up the political process and let all of the people come in," Rep. John Lewis, a Georgia Democrat and hero of the civil rights movement, told colleagues as he led opposition to the GOP measure.

On Ballot-Harvesting, GOP May Have to Push Back.  When Democrats across the country recently condemned the "ballot harvesting" election fraud on display in North Carolina's 9th Congressional District, Republicans who have spent years fighting the practice found themselves saying "I told you so."  Democratic National Committee Chairman Tom Perez praised the North Carolina election board's decision last week to throw out the results that delivered a win for Republican Mark Harris and mandate an election do-over to determine the true winner.  "Calling for a new election in #NC09 was the right decision," Perez tweeted.  "Americans shouldn't have to wonder if their votes will be counted.  We need to fight [...] to make sure this doesn't happen again in #NC09 or anywhere else in our country."

House Democrats' H.R. 1 is the ballot-harvester's delight.  House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has cooked up something new for Monday morning, a so-called "sweeping anti-corruption package" communistically titled the "For the People Act." or H.R. 1, which pretty much seeks to bring the California model of politics to the rest of the states in terms of rigging elections.  A more accurate title for this nasty brew would be the "Ballot Harvester's Delight Bill of 2019."  Or as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell put it, "The Democrat Politician Protection Plan."

We Are Dancing on a Powder Keg.  [Scroll down]  This illusion of the Left is necessitated by the fact they have elevated Marxist credo to a messianic religion.  They believe it as one believes revealed truth, with no doubt and no thought.  (If they thought, they wouldn't believe it.)  And in believing it, they think that, of course, anyone who opposes them must be evil.  The only way not to think we're evil is to think we're otherwise impaired — you know, in Mr. Obama's charming words, "clinging to their guns and religion and afraid of people who aren't like them."  So they're using the strategy they think will turn the right away from Trump.  Why is this worrisome?  Well, other than the fact that they might be using this and subsequent polls as a cover-up for the immense fraud they'll bring onboard in 2020 (guys, they did massive fraud last year.  Massive.  Look into Arizona sometime.  And honestly, any state that is vote-by-mail only is going left and staying left, because it's wide open to fraud, and the Democrats bring the fraud.  Boy, do they bring it.)  That does worry me.

Clinton Judge Orders Texas to Stop Removing Non-Citizens from Voter Rolls.  Judge Fred Biery, a Clinton nominee, lives up to his nominator's reputation as an embarrassment to the bench. [...] Using DMV data is a perfectly legitimate starting point.  The second step in the process is actually contacting the persons in questions and asking them to verify whether they're naturalized citizens or not.  Without that second step, it becomes quite difficult to determine someone's citizenship status conclusively under current parameters.

California DMV to be audited after lawmakers become suspicious of voter fraud.  California's DMV has been rife with scandal.  On Wednesday morning [2/27/2019], lawmakers agreed to yet another audit, this time focusing on the program that registers drivers to vote.  "The problems with motor voter have risen to such a degree that there is a bipartisan effort in this," said Assemblyman Jim Patterson (R-Fresno).  The department has admitted mishandling voter registration information for 23,000 drivers and double-registering as many as 77,000 others.

Man admits to double voting, sentenced to community service.  New Hampshire authorities say a man who admitted to voting in two states in the 2016 general election has been sentenced to 200 hours of community service.

North Carolina vote fraud case shows just why Congress should ban ballot-harvesting nationwide.  [Scroll down]  People's votes should count, so whatever the outcome, fair elections deserve to be the standard and the lesson.  The sorry spectacle does have a silver lining for Republicans.  The incident shows just how dangerous ballot-harvesting is.

NC state board votes for new election in 9th district after Harris calls for new race.  After a stunning reversal by Republican Mark Harris, North Carolina election officials Thursday unanimously ordered a new election in the 9th Congressional District, which has gained national attention as the last unresolved House race for the 2018 election.  The state elections board's vote came after four days of testimony about what the board's staff called "a coordinated, unlawful, and substantially resourced absentee ballot scheme" in Bladen and Robeson counties.  And it came less than an hour after a startling announcement by Harris, who had been fighting to have his apparent victory certified.

Move over Millennials, Oregon lawmakers introduce bill to lower voter age to 16.  Oregon lawmakers are floating a bill that would ask voters to amend the state's constitution to lower the voting age from 18 to 16-years-old under a plan unveiled Monday [2/18/2019].  If passed, the question could be put before voters in the 2020 presidential election.  Oregon would become the first state to lower the statewide voting age to 16, which would give younger voters the opportunity "to participate in the ballot — about decisions that affect their homes, their clean air, their future, their schools and, as we've seen, their very lives," Democratic State Sen. Shemia Fagan said during a news conference in Salem.

Who's voting for dirty air?

Oregon Legislators Push To Lower Voting Age To 16.  In the never ending race to the bottom, Oregon state senator Shemia Fagan is introducing legislation that would lower the voting age in the state to 16.  Citing abortion and stripping away 2nd Amendment rights, Fagan introduced the legislation on Monday [2/18/2019], at the behest of doorbelling-for-democrats operation known as the Bus Project. [...] Not only are the democrats targeting more naive voters, but this is partially in response to the pushback against a massive gun grab bill, that was supposedly written by high schoolers.

The Editor says...
Anyone who has never held down a job should not vote.  Those who do not pay taxes should not vote.  Anyone whose most valued possession is his or her cell phone should not vote.  Anyone whose primary news source is Facebook should not vote.

Republicans fight back, call Dem's sweeping voting 'reform' bill a power hungry swamp move.  House Democrats continued pushing their far-reaching voting reform bill during an Oversight and Reform Committee hearing Wednesday while Republican committee members said the legislation would only perpetuate the Washington, D.C., swamp.  The nearly 600-page "For The People Act," also known as House Resolution 1, contains numerous proposals including restoring voting rights to convicted felons who have completed their prison sentences, same-day voter registration and a public matching system for small-donor campaign contributions.

Voter fraud isn't real you say?  Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's Election Fraud Unit has arrested a Starr County woman for illegally voting using a dead person's identity in 2016.  Investigators say Bernice Annette Garza voted in the March 2016 democratic primary election, using a deceased person's identity.  Bernice Annette Garza was indicted by a Hidalgo County grand jury and has been charged with voter impersonation, illegal voting and also providing false information on an application for an early voting ballot.

Pennsylvania gov't admits that more than 11,000 non-US citizens were registered to vote.  Democratic governor tried to block the info.  More than 11,000 people who were registered to vote in Pennsylvania were found to not be citizens of the United States — and the state's Democratic governor didn't want anyone to know about it.  Two Republican state lawmakers, Reps.  Daryl Metcalfe and Garth Everett, released the information Tuesday.  Metcalfe had requested this information from the state in February 2018, but the request was appealed by Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf, and stalled until Dec. 3, after the elections had already wrapped up.

Texas AG Announces Voter Fraud Arrest:  Woman Arrested For Illegally Voting Using Dead Person's Identity.  Ken Paxton, the Texas Attorney General put out a voter fraud alert Thursday [1/31/2019] and announced his election fraud unit has arrested Bernice Annette Garza for using a dead person's identity to illegally vote in the March 1, 2016, Democratic primary election in Starr County.  Garza was indicted by a grand jury in Hidalgo County and is charged with voter impersonation, illegal voting, and providing false information on an application for an early voting ballot, the Texas Attorney General's office announced.

Pennsylvania admits to 11,000 noncitizens registered to vote.  A top Pennsylvania lawmaker called on the state Wednesday to immediately expunge the names of 11,198 noncitizens whom the state confirmed are registered to vote, despite not being eligible.  State Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, a Republican and former chairman of a House government oversight panel, said the administration of Gov. Tom Wolf, a Democrat, belatedly acknowledged the large number of noncitizens in communications over the past two months.

Alabama Mayor Loses Seat Due to Voter Fraud.  The mayor of Gordon, Alabama, was removed from office this month due to a massive case of voter fraud... and liberals say there is no voter fraud at all in the U.S.  Now former mayor Elbert Melton was convicted of voter fraud and forced to abdicate his seat last week.

Texas' efforts to purge voter lists:  Protect elections or suppress votes?  Civil rights groups on Monday called on top election officials in Texas to back down from an effort to identify and purge a list of nearly 100,000 people registered to vote who may not be U.S. citizens.  Texas Secretary of State David Whitley sent an advisory on Friday [1/25/2019] stating that around 58,000 of the people flagged for review voted in at least one Texas election between 1996 and 2018.

Yes, Noncitizens Are Voting In Elections — Texas Just Proved It.  When President Donald Trump brought up the idea that noncitizens were casting ballots in elections, the reaction was fast and furious.  Such a thing, if it exists at all, is exceedingly rare, we were told.  But when one state decided to take a close look, it found something quite different.

Trump and Texas gov weigh in on 95,000 non-citizens on voter rolls.  The more evidence that surfaces that proves voter fraud is rampant, the more Democrats double down to insist it's a rare occurrence, cry about voter suppression and scramble to dispute the findings.  The results of a nearly year-long investigation into voter fraud in Texas has blown the lid off the weak defense, revealing that 95,000 non-citizens were currently registered to vote in the state with 58,000 of them having voted in one or more election.  And this is just ONE state — a Republican-controlled state, to boot.  But now that massive voter fraud has been found, what comes next?

Poll: 13% of Illegal Aliens ADMIT They Vote.  As we always knew, California and American elections are filled with fraud and corruption.  Thanks to a new poll, we now know that approximately 13% of illegal aliens vote.  Since they are already criminals, stealing ID's or using phony ID's. [...] Since they can not be deported or jailed, they have nothing to lose.  Obama is protecting these law breakers.  Could this be why real citizens don't vote — the illegal aliens outvote them?  Worse, in close elections illegal aliens can make the difference.  Corruption?  Look at the ballot box.  In fact, they could have elected a President and Senator!

Texas finds 98,000 non-citizen registrations and 58,000 illegal votes.  Imagine California..!  Democrats and their press allies are always yelling about voter fraud being a miniscule "actually very rare," practically non-existent thing, a figment of fevered conservative imaginations.  But state election officials in Texas have uncovered a whopping 98,000 illegal voter registrations from non-citizens, with more than half — 58,000 — actually casting ballots.  Seems the problem is bigger than was imagined, even on the right.  The story is being covered by the mainstream press.

A green-card holder voted illegally 3 times in NC.  The judge scolds election officials.  Hyo Suk George lived legally in the United States for nearly 20 years before she voted in her first election, coaxed to cast her ballot by an enthusiastic town council member at church.  To register, she presented a green card, Social Security number and driver's license — proof enough for the elections officials in Columbus County — then voted in 2008, 2010 and 2016.  But on Thursday [1/17/2019], George, 70, faced charges of illegal voting from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, for which she might have spent six months in prison.  Instead, U.S. District Court Judge Terrence Boyle chastised the elections board in Whiteville, letting George go with a $100 fine.

Another Noncitizen Indicted for Voter Fraud in 2016, Says Texas AG.  A non-United States citizen was charged, arrested, and indicted for illegally voting in the November 2016 general election, says Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.  Late Tuesday [1/15/2019], Paxton announced that Marites Canete Curry, a noncitizen Navarro County resident, was charged with one count of illegal voting following an investigation by the AG's election fraud unit.  According to the AG's office, Navarro County election records indicated Curry illegally registered to vote in June prior to casting a ballot in November 2016.

North Carolina House race still undecided as legal battle continues.  The new Congress has been seated for nearly two weeks — but North Carolina's 9th district still hasn't sent a representative to Capitol Hill.  Republican Mark Harris led Democrat Dan McCready by little more than 900 votes after the midterm elections, according to the unofficial count, but accusations of voter fraud and irregularities have thrown the election into a chaotic legal battle.  Harris and his attorneys have asked the court to certify his victory over McCready since the state board of election officials refused to do so.

If President Trump were really a racist or a Nazi, then please explain these facts.  The Democrat Party has no real love for this country or its national security.  They champion the cause of illegals for one reason only:  voter fraud.  If voter ID laws were passed in 50 states ensuring that only eligible citizens could vote, they'd never win a majority.  As those Democrat politicians vacation in Puerto Rico on the taxpayers dime while the government shutdown continues, this truth is undeniable.  Now build that wall!

H.R. 1: Democrats Act to Strip State Powers Over Elections.  If you thought the midterm elections had problems, wait until you learn about Nancy Pelosi's plan to terminate state control over American elections. [...] The Constitution decentralizes power over American elections and puts states in charge.  H.R. 1 would undo that.  Decentralization promotes individual liberty.  When power over elections is centralized, it is easier for that power to be abused.  When power over elections is decentralized, no single malevolent actor can exert improper control over the process.  That is precisely why Democrats are so eager for Washington, D.C., to have more power over our elections.

Obama-appointed judge rules against Rick Scott's suspension of Florida's 'serial election rigger' Brenda Snipes.  Thanks to a ruling Wednesday by a federal judge appointed to his post nine years ago by President Barack Hussein Obama, disgraced former Broward County supervisor of elections Brenda Snipes may soon be back at her job muddling up more elections.  U.S. District Judge Mark Walker specifically ruled that newly inaugurated Gov. Ron DeSantis must offer Snipes a "meaningful opportunity to be heard" regarding her suspension.  Late last year then-Gov. Rick Scott suspended her for "multiple violations of Florida law, incompetence and neglect of duty."  He announced the suspension roughly two weeks after she submitted her resignation.  Had she been allowed to voluntarily step down in January as she'd initially planned, Snipes would have benefited from a $71,000/year pension as per her stint as the Broward County elections supervisor.

Felons Register To Vote In Florida.  Thanks to a constitutional amendment approved by voters during the midterm elections, convicted felons are now registering to vote in the swing state of Florida.  Amendment 4 was passed as a ballot initiative with nearly 65 percent of the vote, surpassing the 60 percent requirement.  The amendment restored the voting rights of convicted felons, with the exception of those who have committed rape and murder.  Registration started Tuesday [1/8/2019], with many convicts lining up to once again participate in the democratic process.

Did Ballot-Harvesting By Illegals Flip Elections To Democrats?  Democrats say they oppose President Trump's demand for money to start building a border wall on moral grounds.  More likely it's because they know that unchecked immigration — legal or illegal — helps them win elections.  If you don't think so, look at what happened in California in the midterms.

Judicial Watch Settlement With California:  Election Fraud Tip of the Iceberg?  Judicial Watch filed a federal lawsuit last year — Judicial Watch, Inc., et al. v. Dean C. Logan, et al. — in an effort to force the state of California, particularly Los Angeles County, to clean up its voter rolls, which Judicial Watch argued was required under the National Voter Registration Act.  Neither the state nor the county has bothered to remove inactive voters from the rolls for 20 years.  Late last week, Judicial Watch announced that it had signed a settlement agreement with the state and the county, which agreed to begin a process of removing from their voter-registration rolls as many as 1.5 million names that may be invalid. [...] It is estimated that more than one in every five registrations in Los Angeles County likely belongs to a voter who has either moved or died.

DREAMers tell of ballot-harvesting in California to flip the House blue.  It was one of those heartstring-tugging, tear-jerking, carefully curated narratives about DREAMers we're supposed to read and then respond to with sympathy.  But a story that ran in the Los Angeles Times yesterday accidentally did more to raise questions about the issue of ballot-harvesting in California than any raving right-wing warning tome could ever do.  The Times describes how California's famed ballot-harvestors, who flipped places such as Orange County blue in the last midterm, aren't actually citizens.  They did it by "helping" voters fill out, and turn in, and continue to turn in, ballots from otherwise uncommitted voters until they got the result they wanted.

Judicial Watch wins suit, California forced to remove up to 1.5 million inactive voters and 'clean up' its rolls.  A lawsuit brought by forth by the watchdog group Judicial Watch is forcing Los Angeles County to excise an estimated 1.5 million inactive voters from its voter rolls, and the state of California must update its voter registration rules so it complies with federal law. [...] Filed in 2017, the suit accused both Los Angeles County and the state of failing to abide by the National Voter Registration Act, which mandates the removal of voters who fail to participate in two consecutive general federal elections, i.e., who fail to vote for four years.

California and Los Angeles County to Remove 1.5 Million Inactive Voters from Voter Rolls — Settle Judicial Watch Federal Lawsuit.  Judicial Watch announced today [1/3/2019] that it signed a settlement agreement with the State of California and County of Los Angeles under which they will begin the process of removing from their voter registration rolls as many as 1.5 million inactive registered names that may be invalid.  These removals are required by the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).  The NVRA is a federal law requiring the removal of inactive registrations from the voter rolls after two general federal elections (encompassing from 2 to 4 years).  Inactive voter registrations belong, for the most part, to voters who have moved to another county or state or have passed away.  Los Angeles County has over 10 million residents, more than the populations of 41 of the 50 United States.  California is America's largest state, with almost 40 million residents.

An election hacked — by Democrats.  It seems like a blatant case of election trolling:  a deceptive stealth campaign using social media and bots to discredit one candidate and even siphon votes from him to a randomly chosen third-party hopeful.  Only this wasn't Russian hackers trying to influence the outcome of the 2016 Trump-Clinton presidential contest.  As The New York Times reports, it was a secret project, carried out on Facebook and Twitter, by Democratic tech experts, with one purpose:  to weaken the Republican candidate in the 2017 Alabama special election for a US Senate seat.

Democrats' fake data scheme in Alabama sheds doubt on James Comey investigation.  In a shocking report first revealed by The New York Times this week, we learned that a Democrat political group known as AET (American Engagement Technologies), funded by liberal billionaire and LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman, created thousands of fake Russian botnet accounts disseminated on Facebook and Twitter in an attempt to link Moore with the Russian government.  The disinformation electrified Democrats and anti-Trump media who then trafficked the ongoing narrative that Russia is meddling in U.S. elections in support of Republican candidates.  Here's the kicker:  It wasn't the Kremlin using deceptive propaganda tactics to dupe Alabama voters — it was former President Barack Obama's allies in Silicon Valley who orchestrated the shadow operation.

Maine governor writes 'stolen election' while certifying Democrat's victory.  Outgoing Republican Maine Gov. Paul LePage took a swipe on Friday at a Democratic candidate's victory in a controversial House race, writing "stolen election" next to his signature on the certificate confirming the election result.  LePage certified the victory of Democratic Rep.-elect Jared Golden after Rep. Bruce Poliquin, a two-term Republican congressman, conceded to his opponent on Christmas Eve following a contentious legal challenge.

New Florida Secretary of State [is] Bad News For Brenda Snipes.  Seminole County Supervisor of Elections Mike Ertel was announced as Secretary of State by Governor-elect Ron DeSantis midday on Friday [12/28/2018].  As someone who has known Ertel for a half decade, Floridians could not have hoped for a better selection for this top post that oversees the election process.  Following the disastrous "performances" by Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes and Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Susan Bucher, many in Florida were left wondering what protections would be put in place to make sure corruption and incompetence would not embarrass Florida in the 2020 presidential elections.

California's ballot-harvesting, sure enough, is borrowed from Mexico.  In an extraordinary investigative piece on how ballot-harvesting works by Steve Miller, published on Real Clear Investigations, we learn an amazing amount of information about how ballot-harvesting works and why it's so closely connected to election fraud, skewing elections in directions they normally wouldn't go.  The must-read piece is focused on how Texas is dealing with the seedy issue, enforcing the law, prosecuting more than twice as many cases of electoral fraud as California, even hampered as Texas is by weak penalties for violators.  But a little detail stands out much deeper into the piece:  ballot-harvesting, which is at the root of considerable fraud of all kinds, is a practice specifically borrowed from Latin America, with an impressive Latino analyst, K.B.  Forbes, who has electoral experience in both countries, citing Mexico.

Texas straight-ticket voters report ballot concerns.  Amid scattered complaints by straight-ticket early voters of both parties that their ballots did not, at first, correctly record their choice of either Democrat Beto O'Rourke or Republican Ted Cruz for U.S. Senate, state and local election officials are cautioning voters to take their time in voting and check the review screen for accuracy before casting ballots.  The elections officials say the problems resulted from user error in voting on the Hart eSlate machines widely used in Texas — including in Travis, Hays and Comal counties — and are not the result of a machine glitch or malfunction.

78 cases of potential voter fraud under investigation.  The New Hampshire attorney general's office says it is investigating or reviewing 78 cases of potential voter fraud that emerged after the November 2016 general election.

BOE head reportedly failed to properly report trips paid for by voting machine manufacturer.  New York City's Board of Elections chair failed to properly report trips that were paid for by the company that manufactures the city's vote-scanning machines, according to a report on New York 1.  Michael Ryan serves on an advisory board for the company, Election Systems and Software, the channel reported Monday night, saying the company has reportedly flown him to cities across the country since he started there in 2014.  But Ryan did not properly log the trips with the Conflicts of Interest Board, omitting a number of them on annual disclosure forms, according to NY1.

Broward elections supervisor Brenda Snipes sues Rick Scott over 'politically motivated' suspension.  Not only has former Broward County elections chief Brenda Snipes rescinded her resignation from the post, she is now suing the governor who suspended her.  In a lawsuit filed this week with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida, Ms. Snipes called the suspension by outgoing Florida Gov. Rick Scott, a Republican, "malicious and politically motivated" and demanded that she be reinstated.

Local NBC Investigation Discovers Dozens of Illegal Voters in Florida.  It is an article of faith on the Left that voter fraud does not exist beyond the imaginations of racist right-wingers, [bent] on imposing "unconstitutional" voter ID laws fashioned to "suppress" minority turnout in elections.  These objections are race-baiting nonsense; they're unsupported by both empirical evidence and Supreme Court precedent.  The high court upheld Indiana's law in a 6-3 decision in 2008.  The ruling was authored by uber-liberal Justice John Paul Stevens.  And after Georgia implemented its own law in 2007 (which survived a legal challenge), minority voter participation increased in the next two election cycles.

Kansas convicts noncitizen who illegally voted in election.  Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach on Wednesday confirmed his office secured its first conviction of a noncitizen who illegally voted in an election.  Victor David Garcia Bebek, a Peruvian national who only became a U.S. citizen in 2017, pleaded guilty to voter fraud for casting ballots in the 2012 special election, as well as the 2012 and 2014 general elections.  Following his naturalization ceremony this year, Bebek was offered the chance to register to vote.

Kobach: It Appears That Out-of-State Voters Changed the Outcome of the New Hampshire U.S. Senate Race.  For years, the mainstream media has ignored the problem of voter fraud and belittled those of us who are trying to do something about it.  And when secretaries of state like me identify cases of fraud, we are told that the number of incidents of voter fraud is too insignificant to matter.  Now, however, facts have come to light that indicate that a pivotal, close election was likely changed through voter fraud on November 8, 2016: New Hampshire's U.S. Senate Seat, and perhaps also New Hampshire's four electoral college votes in the presidential election.

Illegal Alien Voting.  [A] federal grand jury in Sacramento recently returned a nine-count indictment against Gustavo Araujo Lerma, 62, and his wife Maria Eva Velez, 64. Araujo is charged with aggravated identity theft, passport fraud, conspiracy to commit unlawful procurement of naturalization and citizenship, and five counts of voting by an alien.  As the court has documented, Araujo applied for U.S. passports under the assumed identity of Hiram Enrique Velez, a deceased U.S. citizen "whose identity Araujo fraudulently used for over 25 years."  During that time, the Mexican national obtained legal permanent resident status and ultimately U.S. citizenship for Velez, his wife.  The couple had previously married in Mexico but did so again in Los Angeles in 1992 under the fake identity.  This allowed Velez illegally to obtain status as the purported wife of a U.S. citizen.

Poll Worker Finds Dead Neighbor on Voter Roster.  Despite passing away in 2004, [Linda] Zgoda's neighbor had appeared as an eligible voter for 14 years.  With the dead man's name on the rolls, it's not hard imagining someone improperly voting using his identity.

Maryland city to allow non-citizens to vote... again.  If you want to know where the progressive left wants to take U.S. elections, a trip through Maryland's Washington, D.C.-area suburban counties is instructive.  The City of College Park in Prince George's County is on the verge of becoming the ninth city in Maryland to allow non-citizens — including illegal aliens — to vote in municipal elections.  In a revealing 20-minute video of a June 7 council meeting, city officials discussed how best to get rid of the citizenship requirement so that virtually anyone of legal age living in the city can vote.  A council vote is slated for August 8.

Task Force Finds More Ballots Cast Than Registered Voters.  A task force that was investigating possible voter fraud in Milwaukee released its findings Tuesday.  U.S. Attorney Steven Biskupic said investigators found more than 4,500 ballots were cast in Milwaukee than registered voters in the Nov. 2 [2005] election.

DOJ Charges Illegals With Voter Fraud.  The illegals are also charged with, fraud and misuse of visas, permits, and other documents and aiding and abetting in falsely claiming United States citizenship in order to register to vote.  North Carolina is a voter identification state.

Hundreds of Illegal Voters Uncovered in North Carolina in 2016.  Hundreds of illegal voters participated in the 2016 general election in North Carolina, according to a new report.  The post-election audit report, released by the North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE), an independent and bipartisan agency that oversees elections in the state, found hundreds of illegal votes, including votes cast by felons and non-citizens, double voting, voter impersonation, and irregularities that affected mail-in absentee ballots.  The audit uncovered 441 cases where suspected active felons voted during the 2016 elections.

Second Texas County Faces Lawsuit for Withholding Records of Noncitizens Registered to Vote.  A public interest election group is threatening to sue a Texas County over its refusal to release records dealing with noncitizens on their voter rolls, the second Texas County threatened with such a lawsuit this month.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), a group that litigates to protect election integrity, sent a final notice to Harris County in Texas warning that they could face a federal lawsuit if they continued to deny the group inspection of their records related to registrants who were removed from the rolls after it was discovered that they were noncitizens.

Report: 5,500 Noncitizens Discovered on Virginia Voter Rolls.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), an Indiana-based group that litigates to protect election integrity, released a report detailing their findings on Virginia's voter rolls.  The group filed numerous lawsuits and submitted a number of record requests in order to gather the information after the state had initially stonewalled their efforts.  The extensive review of voter history files across Virginia's 133 jurisdictions found that state election officials removed 5,556 noncitizen voters between 2011 and May 2017.  Of the 5,556 noncitizens that were quietly removed from the rolls, 1,852 cast ballots.

1,500 and counting:  California's DMV registers noncitizens to vote.  Following its admission a month ago that it screwed up 23,000 voter registrations, California's Department of Motor Vehicles has admitted another one:  registering 1,500 foreigners to vote in U.S. elections.  That's some record they've got, and anyone who thinks there isn't more coming is more than naïve.  The whole thing raises the question of whether the DMV really is capable of handling automotive registrations for both legal and illegal residents as well as voter registrations that include mail-in ballots.

San Francisco Spends More Than $385,000 to Register 61 Non-Citizen Voters.  The city of San Francisco spent more than $385,000 to register non-citizen voters, but only 61 of those voters signed up to vote Tuesday [11/6/2018] in time for the midterm elections.  John Arntz, the director of the San Francisco Department of Elections, confirmed with Breitbart News on Tuesday morning that the city registered 61 non-citizens to vote in local school board races, and reports say those votes came with a hefty price tag.

The Rep From Arkansas.  Former Democratic State Rep. Hudson Hallum, his father, and a few campaign workers were caught red-handed trying to rig an election.  Their scheme involved bribing absentee voters with chicken dinners and vodka and going on to tamper with already filled-in ballots.  Their con ended abruptly after police were tipped off.

Electoral Fraud: the Real Record.  When Donald Trump was running for office, he raised the issue of fraudulent votes.  As with everything else Trump has said, it was instantly attacked and ridiculed by the media.  Since then, the idea has been dismissed by MSM journalists who have insisted that there have not been any cases of illegal voting.  Recently, though, the novel possibility of fraudulent votes in favor of a Republican candidate has made the MSM do a 180 while reiterating that such things have never happened favoring Democratic candidates.  As with many other topics, MSM journalists have blatantly lied.

Meet The Candidate Suing Debbie Wasserman-Schultz For Election Fraud.  Tim Canova, the independent challenger to Debbie Wasserman-Schultz in her 2018 re-election race in Florida, is suing the former DNC chairwoman for election fraud.  Canova joins us to discuss the evidence that he has compiled that the vote count was rigged, and talks about what the future might hold for Broward County.  One thing is clear:  Tim Canova is a brave man.

The Globalist Mindset:  They Hate You.  The common target of all these populist pushbacks is an administrative and cultural elite that shares a set of transnational and globalist values and harbors mostly contempt for the majority of their own Neanderthal citizens who are deemed hopelessly unwoken to environmental, racial, gender, and cultural inevitabilities. [...] Voters in consensual societies are often assumed too ignorant of the world beyond their borders, too encumbered with traditional racial, ethnic, gender, religious, and nationalist prejudices, and too ill-informed to know what is good for them.  No wonder that sometimes hoi polloi must either vote repeatedly until they get it right, or follow executive and judicial fiats issued from their betters on high.

Democrats And Their War On The Secret Ballot.  The secret ballot hasn't always been a staple of American politics, but it was wisely instituted by most states around the 1890s as a way to forestall voter fraud via intimidation, vote buying, and blackmailing.  Since then, it's become ubiquitous not just in the United States but in most democratic countries, and one of the first things most people associate with the very concept of free and fair elections.

The Corrupt Vote Harvest in Orange County.  Unlike Stacey Abrams, the Democrat sore loser in Georgia; Bill Nelson, the Democrat sore loser in Florida; Hillary Clinton and her Year 2016 Democrat sore losers; and Al Gore and his Year 2000 Democrat sore losers, I accept that the Democrats have obtained the House seats they flipped in Orange County and elsewhere in California after tons of come-from-behind votes were tallied many days after Election Day.  This article therefore looks ahead to infinity and beyond.  In particular, all fifty states rapidly must act to ban ballot harvesting.

How Ballot-Harvesting Became The New Way To Steal An Election.  America's electoral obsession isn't Russian meddling anymore.  It's ballot-harvesting, a long-disputed practice implicated in fraud that's come to the fore with the nationwide embrace of absentee voting in recent years — and especially in last month's midterms.  With ballot-harvesting, paper votes are collected by intermediaries who deliver them to polling officials, presumably increasing voter turnout but also creating opportunities for mischief.  The latter is suspected in North Carolina, where uncharacteristic Democratic charges of vote fraud prompted an investigation into whether Republican-paid political operatives illegally collected and possibly stole absentee ballots in a still-undecided congressional race.  A national spotlight was shone by The New York Times, which, like Democrats, often minimizes vote fraud; it flooded the zone in this case, assigning five reporters to a single story.

Chicago Dems Get BUSTED Red-Handed Committing Election Fraud.  It's a David versus Goliath story:  A college kid running for 13th Ward alderman gets a huge lesson in the Chicago Way.  This is how the Chicago Machine works that's why it is the number one corrupt city in the country!  It's just the Chicago way.  Wouldn't it be fitting if Madigan were taken down for assisting in illegally squashing a kid who only had a small chance of winning in the first place?

What we know about the alleged ballot tampering plot in North Carolina.  In North Carolina, allegations suggesting ballot tampering have led the state elections board to delay certifying the results of one House election.  State officials are now issuing subpoenas and gathering evidence for a public hearing to be held later this month.  It's safe to say something is amiss.  But what exactly happened in North Carolina's Ninth Congressional District hasn't fully been revealed.  Instead, we have an incomplete tapestry of sworn affidavits and press reports that suggest, but don't definitively prove, a coordinated effort to influence one of 2018's closest House elections.

Fraud allegations loom over North Carolina congressional race.  More than four weeks after Democrat Dan McCready conceded to Republican Mark Harris, allegations of voter fraud are preventing North Carolina elections officials from certifying results for the state's 9th Congressional District.  McCready, who currently trails Harris by 905 votes in the unofficial tally, took to social media Thursday [12/6/2018] to withdraw his concession.

The scandal in North Carolina proves voter fraud is real.  Democrats who the day before yesterday were insisting that voter fraud didn't exist now believe that it was used to steal a North Carolina congressional seat from them — and they may well be right.  Republican Mark Harris has a 905-vote lead over Democrat Dan McCready in the state's Ninth Congressional District, a slender victory that the state board of elections has refused to certify given credible allegations of cheating.  A consulting firm working for Harris contracted with an operative named McCrae Dowless based on his get-out-the-vote work, mostly involving his strange prowess with absentee ballots.

Over 1,000 ballots may have been destroyed in NC congressional race, DA says.  More than 1,000 absentee ballots likely cast by Democratic voters in North Carolina's 9th Congressional District may have been destroyed amid voter harvesting allegations in favor of Republican Mark Harris in a closely contested race.  "You're looking at several thousand, possibly 2,000 absentee ballot requests from this most recent election.  About 40 percent of those, it appears, at this point may not have been returned," Wake County District Attorney Lorrin Freeman told CNN.

Ballot-harvesting: Not just for California anymore.  California looks like a lost cause for Republicans, given how Democrats clinched the midterm with a series of new laws.  Maybe no big deal, given that California has been a solid blue state for something like 20 years.  But are Americans aware of the potential for California vote-rigging to come to their states, making them so blue that no conservative will ever be able to win an election?

Absentee ballots in a tight North Carolina congressional race were signed by the same witnesses.  Suspicious ballot issues have clouded a North Carolina congressional race, where Republican candidate Mark Harris holds a narrow 905 vote lead.  A set of 161 absentee ballots signed by the same nine "witnesses" have been unearthed by CNN, which reports that some of those people have ties to the Harris campaign.  Those nine witnesses signed "at least" 10 ballots each, according to the report.  Three of those witnesses signed 40 ballots each.  In North Carolina, absentee voters require a witness to sign their ballots.

After California's ballot harvest:  What is to be done?  The ballot-harvesting issue, which gave Democrats an absolute monopoly of power in even Orange County, signals a sort of the bottom dropping out in California.  Now that Democrats have discovered they can flip any race based on selective collections of mail-in ballots by Democratic door-knockers from voters who didn't ask for them, their one-party state of the past 20 years in California has gotten even more entrenched in power.  One gets the sense that the landscape has changed and what the voters want no longer matters.  Voting is no longer about you, or what you think or the decisions you make, it's now all about that unasked-for piece of paper on the kitchen table known as a ballot and how Democrats can get their hands on it.  You are incidental.  The creepy Democratic machine, with its 1980s PRI-style politics, rigged this state this way, and in so doing would make Hugo Chávez or Daniel Ortega envious.  PRI Mexico was, after all, once called "the perfect dictatorship."  Now the title has moved on to California.  It amounts to stolen democracy, which ultimately cries out for revolution.

Democrats Continue Legal Battle to Reverse Election Day Results in North Carolina.  Democrats continue their full-court legal press to reverse the election day results in the 9th Congressional District of North Carolina where all eight of the counties in the district have certified Republican Mark Harris's 905 vote victory.  But the North Carolina State Board of Elections and Ethics Enforcement, which is the only governing body with the legal authority to certify the election and confirm Harris's seat in the House of Representatives when the 116th Congress convenes in Washington next month, remains steadfast in its unanimous refusal to certify the results of the November 6 election in the state's 9th Congressional District.

Crock The Vote.  This year California legalized "ballot harvesting," which empowers a third party to collect ballots and deliver them to election officials.  The more than 250,000 election day vote-by-mail drop-offs were also the result of ballot harvesting.  And the Election Integrity Project California found discrepancies in the totals of poll and mail ballots cited by the state and four counties in southern California.

Ballot harvesting bounty:  How Dems apparently used election law change to rout California Republicans.  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.  "Anecdotally there was a lot of evidence that ballot harvesting was going on," Neal Kelley, the registrar for voters in Southern California's Orange County, told Fox News.

North Carolina elections chairman resigns after anti-Trump tweets.  The Democratic chairman of the North Carolina Board of Elections resigned Saturday amid a looming investigation into elections fraud over concerns that he had shown an anti-GOP bias.  Andy Penry, chairman of the State Board of Elections and Ethics Enforcement, said he was stepping down so the board can continue its probe "free of attempts at distraction and obstruction so that the truth can be revealed," according to the Washington Post.

'Mystery' ballot rejected, crucial Alaska contest separated by one vote.  It could come down to a coin flip.  Control of Alaska's House for the next two years rests on the razor-thin race between Republican Barton LeBon and Democrat Kathryn Dodge.  Following a Friday [11/30/2018] recount, LeBon held a one-vote lead over Dodge.  Entering that recount, the candidates were in a dead heat with 2,661 votes each.

House race in limbo after North Carolina voter fraud claims.  North Carolina's board of elections on Friday [11/30/2018] declined to certify Republican Mark Harris' apparent victory in a U.S. House of Representatives race, calling instead for a public hearing to investigate claims of voter fraud and irregularities.  Harris edged Democrat Dan McCready by 905 votes in the Nov. 6 congressional election.  But the validity of hundreds of mail-in absentee ballots from a rural county has been called into question, the elections board said on Twitter.

Snipes Snaps!  Rescinds Resignation, Vows to Fight Governor Scott's Suspension.  Things are heating up in Broward County after Brenda Snipes rescinded her resignation Saturday [12/1/2018] and vowed to fight her suspension.  Governor and Senator-elect Rick Scott SUSPENDED Broward County Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes on Friday night [11/30/2018] and replaced her with Peter Antonacci.

Scott suspends Broward's controversial election chief before she can quit early.  Before she could retire early in January, Gov. Rick Scott decided Friday to suspend Brenda Snipes, Broward County's troubled election supervisor, from office following a series of voting and ballot controversies that culminated in the 2018 midterms when the Republican had to sue her to get public information.  "Every eligible voter in Florida deserves their vote to be counted and should have confidence in Florida's elections process," Scott said in a written statement to Politico.  "After a series of inexcusable actions, it's clear that there needs to be an immediate change in Broward County and taxpayers should no longer be burdened by paying a salary for a Supervisor of Elections who has already announced resignation."

Brenda Snipes:  On second thought, I'm not resigning as Broward Co.  Election Supervisor.  I'm so old, I remember when Brenda Snipes, the controversial and disgraced Broward County Supervisor of Elections resigned after a firestorm of controversy over her handling of ballot counting in the 2018 midterms.  The resignation was effective January 4, 2019, the day after Republican Rick Scott's term as Governor was to end and he was to move on to the U.S. Senate, having defeated Bill Nelson.  As we reported yesterday, November 30, 2019 [sic], Brenda Snipes resigned effective next January 4, but Rick Scott just preemptively suspended her.

The stomach-turning 'ballot-harvesting' that enabled Democrats to walk off with California.  The picture emerging from California's election is grotesque.  How again did Democrats engineer their strange midterm victory in Orange County and in other traditionally Republican areas?  In that election, apparently winning Republican candidates were all unseated as the ballots just kept arriving, and arriving, and arriving, until the results flipped.  Each and every time.  And no such flips happened for Republicans, just Democrats, after they learned that Republicans were winning.  And Democrats say it's just 'counting all the votes.'  Welcome to ballot-harvesting.

A Bad Beat for Republicans — But Not Fraud.  Plenty of Republicans and Trump fans are crying foul at the number of congressional seats that have moved towards the Democrats since Election Day.  Insinuations or outright accusations of orchestrated voter fraud fill my Twitter feed.  I understand why people are upset — but there's no hanky panky afoot.  Our election system is broken, but it is not saturated with fraud.  Let's take a look at the California results.  Republicans led in five closely contested congressional districts as vote counting ended on the Wednesday morning after the election.  Most Republicans looked at that and said, "We won!"  The experienced observer, though, noted how few votes had been cast in each contest.  Compared to similar seats in the rest of the country, it was clear that only about half of the votes had been counted.  There was more than enough left to be counted to change the results, unless California had significantly lower voter turnout than anyplace else.

What is 'Ballot Harvesting,' and How Did California Dems Use It to Nuke the GOP?  As the polls closed on election day last month, six California Republican House candidates, including Representatives Dana Rohrabacher, Steve Knight, and Mimi Walters, were ahead in their respective races.  However, as the absentee and provisional ballots rolled in over the intervening weeks, all six lost to their Democratic opponents.  The case of Korean-American GOP candidate Young Kim was one of the most prominent examples.  On election night, Kim held an 8,000 vote lead over her Democratic opponent Gil Cisneros, and even attended freshman orientation in Washington, D.C. before watching her lead, and her victory, slowly evaporate over the subsequent weeks.

Ryan casts doubt on 'bizarre' California election results.  Weeks after House Republicans lost their majority, Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) on Thursday cast serious doubts about the "bizarre" election system in California, where it appears that seven GOP-held seats will flip to Democratic control.  The California election system "just defies logic to me," Ryan said during a Washington Post event.  "We were only down 26 seats the night of the election and three weeks later, we lost basically every California race.  This election system they have — I can't begin to understand what 'ballot harvesting' is."

Blue State Blues:  Democrats Stole the Election in California — Legally, Through 'Ballot Harvesting'.  California Democrats "stole" the midterm election using a new method that is illegal elsewhere but completely legal in the Golden State:  a practice called "ballot harvesting," which allows third parties to submit mail-in ballots for voters.  It sounds "bizarre," as outgoing Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-WI) described it to the Washington Post on Thursday — but it is absolutely true:  Democratic operatives handed in pile after pile of other people's ballots.

Questions about stolen elections not going away in California.  And that follows the obvious funny stuff that went with the sudden surge of 'found' ballots that got Republican congressional candidate Young Kim displaced from her congressional victory to Democratic Party machine pol Gil Cisneros.  Both Kim and Valadao were terrific Republicans who had big leads on election night, and both cases, had the elections actually called for them until ... all these found ballots got found and the counting went on and on and on until the Democrat won.  Even outgoing House Speaker Rep. Paul Ryan, the nambiest-pambiest of all Republicans, pretty well admitted there was a problem.

GOP cries foul after California thumping.  A growing chorus of Republicans are casting doubts about the integrity of the voting system in California, where the party lost at least six House seats in the midterm election — including a handful where the GOP at first appeared to have emerged victorious on election night.  A sentiment that began as a murmur among hard-line conservatives jumped to the Republican mainstream Thursday [11/27/2018] when House Speaker Paul Ryan suggested that the state's "bizarre" voting system "just defies logic to me," and may have contributed to the GOP's historic thumping in California.

Alaska Dems 'Discover' a Crucial Uncounted Ballot.  The ever vigilant Democrat vote counters of Alaska have made the most important discovery since gold was found near Nome in 1899.  The balance of power in the state legislature has come down to the race in House District 1, where Republican Bart LeBon and Democrat Kathryn Dodge are officially tied with 2,661 votes each.  TAS readers will be shocked to learn that a single uncounted ballot has been discovered — inevitably cast for the Democrat.

Mystery ballot could sway control of Alaska state government.  Control of Alaska state government, at least for the next two years, could hinge on a mystery ballot that an election worker found on a table in a Fairbanks voting precinct more than three weeks ago.

Democrats use vote fraud to play their last hand.  With Florida receiving the lion's share of the limelight of midterm election ballot mishandling, little attention has been paid to other states where vote irregularities have cropped up.  From California, Arizona and New Mexico to Wisconsin and Georgia, numerous breaks in chain of custody of ballots has cast a shadow on the results of races for state and congressional seats.  Every instance where republicans looked to have a solid or a tight lead, thousands of ballots appeared out of nowhere to be included in the final tally.  Serendipitously discovered after the polls had been closed for hours, they added a glut of democrat votes that turned the tide in a number of California races.  And election officials didn't even blink an eye.  By the way, those officials were all affiliated with the democrat party.

Obama's redistricting idea would benefit Democrats — not democracy.  Since leaving office, former President Obama and his attorney general, Eric Holder, have made congressional redistricting reform a top priority.  Saying that "protecting" democracy requires "rethinking the way we draw our congressional districts," President Obama has lashed out at Republicans for supposedly gerrymandering themselves into control of the House of Representatives.

Charles Jackson
Homeless man with lengthy criminal history accused of voter fraud in Fort Worth.  A 50-year-old homeless man with a lengthy criminal history has been accused of voter fraud in Tarrant County.  Charles Nathan Jackson — who was booked into and then released from the Tarrant County Jail this month — was indicted on a charge of providing false information on a voting application.  This is the latest case of voter fraud filed by the Texas Attorney General's office in Tarrant County.


Blatant Voter Fraud In Plain Sight In 2018 Mid-Term Elections.  The United States is currently in a constitutional crisis, and has been for years, over having the dirtiest elections in the world.  Of course, there are the usual voter fraud tactics being used such as people voting multiple times in the same election, illegal aliens being allowed to vote, electronic ballots programmed to switch votes for a particular candidate, and votes being cast by dead people.  Now, we are dealing with local precincts who have elections supervisors who destroy, deliberately hide, and claim to miraculously find literally hundreds of thousands of votes after elections are called.  Of course, the main counties involved are the usual dens of corruption that have been at it for decades, namely Broward, Palm Beach, and Miami-Dade counties in Florida.

670 ballots in a precinct with 276 voters, and other tales from Georgia's primary.  Habersham County's Mud Creek precinct in northeastern Georgia had 276 registered voters ahead of the state's primary elections in May.  But 670 ballots were cast, according to the Georgia secretary of state's office, indicating a 243 percent turnout.  The discrepancy, included in a number of sworn statements and exhibits filed as part of a federal lawsuit against the state by election security activists, comes amid swelling public concern for the security of Georgia's voting systems.

Voting Machine Manual Instructed Election Officials to Use Weak Passwords.  An election security expert who has done risk-assessments in several states since 2016 recently found a reference manual that appears to have been created by one voting machine vendor for county election officials and that lists critical usernames and passwords for the vendor's tabulation system.  The passwords, including a system administrator and root password, are trivial and easy to crack, including one composed from the vendor's name.  And although the document indicates that customers will be prompted periodically by the system to change the passwords, the document instructs customers to re-use passwords in some cases — alternating between two of them — and in other cases to simply change a number appended to the end of some passwords to change them.

Straight Ticket Voting Says Farewell to Texas in a Big Way.  In a farewell to the ability to cast a ballot for one party with a single vote, two-thirds of Texas voters cast straight-party ballots in the 2018 midterm election, the highest percentage in at least two decades, a Texas Monthly analysis of county voting records found.  Perhaps the most startling exception to that rule was the more than 400,000 split-ticket voters in the 40 most populous counties who cast a ballot for Democrat Beto O'Rourke in his unsuccessful bid for U.S. Senate as well as incumbent Republican Governor Greg Abbott, who handily won reelection.  Overall, Democrats performed better in straight-ticket voting than at any point since Republicans seized control of state government in 1994, helping them pick up congressional and state legislative seats as well as a number of appellate court positions in Texas's urban and suburban areas.  GOP straight-ticket strength helped Republicans to maintain their stranglehold on statewide elective positions, the analysis shows.

Who Needs Hackers When You Have Human Error?  Three Florida elections are facing recounts — Senate, governor, agriculture commissioner — and the chaos is a funhouse reflection of Bush v. Gore.  Since 2000, multiple influxes of federal funding have been supposed to fix the state's elections systems.  And yet, here we are.  Nationally, recounts are relatively rare.  A recount that reverses an election result is rarer still.  But in places like Broward and Palm Beach counties, ballot mishaps seem inevitable.  The same county that decided the fate of the presidency 18 years ago is cramming to deliver a clear-cut count today.  Democrats back then blamed "butterfly ballots," which separated the candidates into side-by-side columns and left the selection bubbles in the middle.  Now, some say, it's the fault of an overcrowded single-page ballot with the Senate race at the bottom.

Report:  Homeless in California Bribed With Cigarettes and Cash to Sign Voter Registration Forms.  In what the Los Angeles Times describes as an "election fraud scheme," criminal charges have been filed against nine people who allegedly bribed homeless people in L.A. with cigarettes and cash in exchange for signatures on ballot initiatives and voter registration forms.  The perpetrators produced hundreds of fake or forged signatures in the 2016 election, as well as this year's midterms, even registering non-existent people to vote.

When it comes to undermining faith in democracy, another low point.  For more than two years, voters have heard Democrats accuse Republicans of trying to undermine confidence in the American democratic system.  The charge was thrown about repeatedly in the 2016 presidential election, when Democrats said then-candidate Donald Trump's contention that the election might be "rigged" would undercut faith in the system.  Democrats, and many in the media, pressed Trump to promise to accept the election results.  (When Trump won, the question was turned around, and Democrats were the ones who had difficulty accepting the voters' decision.)  This year, during campaigning for midterm elections, some Democrats again charged that Republicans were trying to undermine the electoral system by suppressing the vote in key races.  The talk was particularly intense during the governor's race in Georgia.

Nine Charged in Large-Scale Voter Fraud Scheme on Skid Row.  Prosecutors have charged nine people with a dozen felony counts for allegedly offering money and cigarettes to homeless people on Skid Row in exchange for false and forged signatures on ballot petitions and voter registration forms, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office announced today [11/30/2018].  Deputy District Attorney Marian Thompson of the Public Integrity Division said five of nine defendants are expected to be arraigned this morning in Department 30 of the Foltz Criminal Justice Center.  The charges include circulating a petition with false names; use of false names on a petition; voter fraud, registering a fictitious person; and voter fraud, registering a nonexistent person.

Skid Row voter fraud:  Prosecutors say homeless [people were] offered cash, cigarettes in exchange for hundreds of signatures.  An alleged voter fraud scheme in which Skid Row's homeless were being offered money and cigarettes in exchange for "false and forged signatures" on ballot petitions and registration documents has been uncovered in Los Angeles, prosecutors announced Tuesday.  The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office says it is charging nine people in total with felony counts related to the offenses, which are said to have happened during the 2016 and 2018 election cycles.  "The defendants are accused of engaging in the solicitation of hundreds of false and/or forged signatures on state ballot petitions and voter registration forms by allegedly offering homeless people $1 and/or cigarettes for their participation," a statement from the attorney's office reads.

Lessons Learned From the Debate Over Election Irregularities.  There were indeed sketchy irregularities in Florida, but none that came close to robbing [Gov. Rick] Scott of his 12,000-vote lead.  Brenda Snipes, Broward County's supervisor of elections, had a 15-year record of incompetence that at times seemed very difficult to distinguish from partisan skulduggery.  She finally resigned from her post this week.  But in Arizona, there is no evidence of wrongdoing, and the state GOP's refusal to go with Trump's talking points was an admirable example of Republican leaders, particularly Gov. Doug Ducey, bucking the partisan tide.

Clinton, Abrams, Democrats Don't Accept Outcome of Georgia Governor's Race.  Democrat Stacey Abrams ended her run for Georgia governor on Friday [11/16/2018], but she didn't give an ordinary concession speech, accusing her opponent of centering his campaign around voter suppression and calling the outcome an "erosion of our democracy."  Abrams lost by nearly 55,000 votes to Republican Brian Kemp, but in a speech The Weekly Standard described as "contemptible," Abrams made erroneous and misleading claims about the results to essentially deem the entire race a fraud.

Electoral Three-Card Monte:  How The Democrats Stole Orange County.  Rick Scott is United States Senator after an election, a machine recount, a manual recount, a partridge and a pear tree.  Brian Kemp is Georgia Governor after withstanding Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama, and the challenges of running against a sore loser who also cannot count.  So Georgia and Florida remain red enough for now, given the porous southern border and the Democrats' brilliant decades-long strategy of importing millions of new voters who will vote for the candidates who promise them welfare, food stamps, free medical care, free education, and all things free.  It's hard for Illegals to kneel at "The Star Spangled Banner" when that anthem gets to the words about "The Land of the Free."

Brenda Snipes Resigns, But Broward County Needs A Clean Sweep.  The sun had set in Florida on Sunday evening, which is when Brenda Snipes thought it would be a perfect time to announce her resignation as Broward County Elections Supervisor and sneak out under cover of dark. [...] In absolutely typical Broward County fashion, no one seems to know what day she is actually leaving.

Broward County Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes Resigns, But How She Got The Job Goes Beyond Irony.  Broward is a Democratic bastion and one of the problem children when it comes to Florida elections; Palm Beach County, another liberal haven, is Broward's equally incompetent sibling.  Both counties had ballot-counting procedures that were not transparent and did not give regular updates on the outstanding ballot count. [...] Palm Beach had much more serious allegations of possible fraud, specifically when it came to replacement ballots.  In that instance, an election official can fill out a new ballot in case the machines cannot read one.  It's supposed to prevent disenfranchisement, but also carries a great risk of fraud.  Hence why there's a witness procedure in this process; Scott's lawsuit alleges that his campaign representatives were barred from overseeing this part of the ballot counting operation in Palm Beach.

Brenda Snipes submits her resignation as Broward elections supervisor.  Just hours after finishing a tumultuous election recount, Broward Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes submitted her resignation, ending a 15-year tenure full of botched elections, legal disputes and blistering criticism.  "It is true.  She did send it," said Burnadette Norris-Weeks, an attorney who works as counsel to the Supervisor of Elections Office.  Evelyn Perez-Verdia, a former office spokeswoman who left several years ago, said Sunday evening [11/18/2018] she was told by people in the office that the letter was sent "to Tallahassee" earlier in the day.

Technicians Observe Voting Machine 'Sabotage'.  Last week, a team of technicians were flown in to "fix Palm Beach County's tallying machines."  However, the media basically blacked out the fact that one technician "witnessed an election worker jamming a paper clip into one of the vote-counting machines in order to slow it down."  "That, in turn, caused a short circuit." [...] Now, why was that very important information buried?  "Nearly 3,000 votes effectively disappeared during the machine recount of Florida's midterm races, according to election records," the New York Times reported.  Further down the 'report,' was the revelation that about 80,000 votes were miraculously found, "in part due to illegally altered mail-in ballots."

Democrat Losers:  Undignified and Dangerous.  The Friday [11/16/2018] non-concession speech [Stacey] Abrams inflicted on the citizens of Georgia was easily one of the most disgraceful political performances of the century thus far.  She grudgingly acknowledged that Brian Kemp will be the Peach State's next governor, but went on to accuse him — without evidence — of voter suppression during his tenure as secretary of state.  Even worse, her bitter diatribe included a promise to file additional lawsuits in order to "pursue accountability in Georgia's elections and integrity in the process of maintaining our voting rolls."  Abrams pledged to fight mythical "mismanagement of this election and to protect future elections from unconstitutional actions."  None of these charges have any basis in fact.  In reality, the worst "crime" she accused Kemp of committing — the removal of dormant registrations from the voter rolls — has already been ruled constitutional by the Supreme Court.  The real problem is no more complicated than the inability of Abrams to garner enough votes to win the election.  It was obvious that the Democrat's bid was a lost cause on Election Day.  Kemp's lead was, as Mark Steyn phrases it, "beyond the margin of lawyer." But Abrams was still in denial when asked by a Sunday morning talking head, "Is he the legitimate governor-elect of Georgia?" Her response was utterly irresponsible.

Oopsies — Brenda Snipes "Misplaces" 2,000 Ballots:  "They're Somewhere In The Building".  Well, amid the absolute [fiasco] that is Broward County elections, a mysterious set of 2,000 ballots going missing is probably the least of their issues.  However... How many people suspect those 2,000 ballots are only "missing" insofar as some, well, sketchy ballots may be direct evidence of election fraud?

Broward Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes tries to find 2,040 missing ballots with deadline looming.  Broward County's ballot recount hit yet another snag Saturday with 2,040 ballots lost or misplaced.  The county's eternally beleaguered Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes said they either misplaced, misfiled or mixed in with another stack.  One thing she said she was sure of:  "The ballots are in this building."  "There would be nowhere else for them to be," Snipes said.  "The ballots are in the building.  The ballots are in the building."  With a noon Sunday [11/18/2018] deadline looming, the three-person Canvassing Board was nonplussed and uncertain what to do.

Democrats come out the big losers in Florida's election mess.  Despite desperate efforts by Democrats to overturn the decision of Florida's voters — and despite the state's deeply flawed, mismanaged and corrupt election system — it's now clear that Republican Ron DeSantis will be the state's next governor and Republican Gov. Rick Scott will be its next U.S. senator.  While a hand recount is still underway in Scott's race against incumbent Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson, "Nelson was left with almost no chance of pulling off a comeback to retain his seat" because Scott was leading by more than 12,000 votes, the Washington Post reported.  And Florida's machine recount of votes showed DeSantis more than 33,000 votes ahead of Democratic Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum — a margin too large to mandate a hand recount.

Broward's Brenda Snipes Searches Her Office for Over 2,000 'Missing' Ballots.  Embattled Broward Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes is personally overseeing the search within her headquarters here for purportedly missing ballots to account for the 2,040-vote discrepancy in the number of votes cast in her county during the Midterm Elections.  The discrepancy came in the difference of total votes registered from the initial machine count and the results from the machine recount numbers reported earlier today [11/17/2018].

Florida official Brenda Snipes: racism 'probably' a factor in attacks against me.  A top elections official in Florida who endured national humiliation after missing a midterms recount deadline by two minutes has told the Guardian that racism is "probably" a factor in the backlash against her.  Brenda Snipes, elections supervisor of Broward county, was condemned by Republicans and Democrats after failing to submit tallies in the US Senate race between Rick Scott and Bill Nelson on schedule.  On Friday [11/16/2018], with a hand count of votes under way, about two dozen protesters continued their vigil in a car park outside Snipes's headquarters.  Some claimed without evidence that she had missed the deadline deliberately because the results she oversaw boosted Scott's overall lead.

A Long Wait to Vote?  Odds Are, You Were in the A-to-M Line.  In the U.S., surnames are not evenly distributed, and in most places, it's not even close.  Nationally, the last names of 64% of registered voters begin with letters in the first half of the alphabet, according to a Journal analysis of voting data from L2, a nonpartisan voter file vendor.  That trend is echoed in nearly every county in the country, and in some cases, it's even more extreme.  In Louisiana's Avoyelles Parish, 74% of registered voters have names that begin with letters A to M.  In Rolette, N.D., 73% do.  And in Robeson County, N.C., it's 70%.  The disparities mean it's more likely that voters in the N-to-Z line will breeze through, while those in the A-to-M line get stuck.

Democrats Begin to Fold Their Tents.  The race for Governor of Georgia between Republican Brian Kemp and Democrat Stacey Abrams wasn't particularly close.  Kemp won by 55,000 votes.  But since the election, Abrams has tried to position herself for a recount, or something, that might magically erase that impressive margin.  Today [11/16/2018] she gave up, sort of: [...]

1,100 Vote Fraud Cases Forgotten While Florida Counts Ballots.  First, there are more than 1,100 documented cases of vote fraud — including 1,019 criminal convictions — spanning 47 states.  Second, despite public protestations to the contrary, Democrats have already admitted vote fraud is a problem.  The 1,019 criminal convictions — real people who've committed real vote fraud and been convicted by real courts of law — are found in the Heritage Foundation's voter-fraud database.  There you can follow links to the actual names of perpetrators and the government documents relating to their cases.  By the way, every case in it that I analyzed involved Democrats.  In-the-know leftists are aware of this criminality and have admitted as much — in private.

Broward counts the wrong ballots as Florida races to finish manual recount ahead of Sunday deadline.  Fresh off its bungled machine recount, Broward County's second day of manual recounting temporarily stopped about an hour after it began Saturday when lawyers from both political parties pointed out that volunteers were counting the wrong ballots.  Hundreds of volunteers spent most of Friday sorting through 32,000 overvotes and undervotes in the Senate race between incumbent Sen. Bill Nelson and Republican Gov. Rick Scott.  Broward officials announced Friday night [11/16/2018] they had finished their manual recount.

Soros-Financed Groups Help Brenda Snipes Prevail over Rick Scott in Court Battle.  A coalition of organizations financed by billionaire activist George Soros successfully intervened in a lawsuit against Broward County Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes in a case involving ballots counted by Snipes' office after the official deadline had passed.  The judge in the case ultimately rejected an emergency motion for a temporary injunction filed by Gov. Rick Scott's legal team regarding ballots that were purportedly cast in time but were not included in the first count by Broward County before the deadline for those ballots to be counted.  Scott is facing a recount battle in his Senatorial race against Sen. Bill Nelson.

Democrat Stacey Abrams ends bid to be Georgia governor.  Democrat Stacey Abrams ended her bid to be Georgia governor late Friday [11/16/2018] in a speech which she said was not a 'concession' but an acknowledgment that she cannot win.

Obama Judges Can't Save Dem Losers.  Obama-appointed federal judges have brazenly rewritten election statutes to favor Democrats challenging the outcomes of races in Florida and Georgia.  In both states, however, the apparent losers haven't benefited from arbitrary changes these partisan jurists made in the laws by which election officials are legally bound.  Thursday, for example, an Obama appointee changed the rules governing how mail-in ballots with signature mismatches must be handled in Florida — just hours before the legally-mandated recount deadline.  In Georgia, two Obama appointees changed the rules regarding how to count incomplete absentee ballots, provisional ballots, and even delayed certification dates.  None of it worked.  The Florida ruling was handed down by U.S. District Judge Mark Walker, who was nominated by Obama in 2012.  Walker is a happy partisan who salts his rulings with sarcastic editorial allusions to Governor Scott's administration and whose wife has made campaign contributions to the governor's Democratic opponent in the Florida Senate race, Democrat Bill Nelson.

Utah Republican Mia Love sues to halt vote count in tight race.  Republican Rep. Mia Love sued to halt vote counting in the Utah race where she is trailing her Democratic challenger by a razor-thin margin, saying her campaign must be allowed to issue challenges if they dispute the validity of mail-in ballots.  In a contest where "every single vote is crucial," the Love campaign claimed poll-watchers have seen a few cases where voter signatures on ballots accepted by election workers did not appear to match those on file in Democratic-leaning Salt Lake County.  County attorneys pushed back in court documents, arguing state law gives the campaign no right to interrupt the vote count, and letting the campaign question signatures could violate voters' rights by revealing who they cast their ballots for.

To Fix Elections, Hold Real Elections.  The mess in Florida, Georgia, Maine, and anywhere else in these United States where, thanks to the Democrats and their locust legions of lawyers, the results of last week's elections are still in doubt, can easily be fixed.  Have voting on a fixed day and date: all eligible voters with proof of identity and residency within the applicable jurisdiction can vote only during the statutory hours at designated polling places.  The end.  In other words, no:
  •   early voting
  •   provisional voting
  •   motor-voter registration
  •   mail-in ballots
  •   phone-in or faxed-in votes
  •   absentee ballots except for on-duty military stationed overseas (civilian living out of the country? tough, your choice)
  •   all results to be reported within twelve hours of poll closings and certified within 24 [hours]
Problem solved.

Dems in FL caught using altered forms to count illegal ballots.  Federal prosecutors are looking at a state-wide effort by Florida Democrats to count invalid ballots by giving absentee voters an altered form to fix discrepancies in their signature.  The date on the form has been altered to make it appear that the ballot was legal.

Systematic Fraud In Florida Election.  The Naples News reports on a systematic effort by Florida's Democratic Party to harvest thousands of illegal votes, using altered state government forms: [...] These altered forms were sent to voters whose mailed-in ballots were defective because they did not include a proper signature.  The Democrats attempted to, in effect, extend the legal deadline for "cure affidavits" so that more ballots potentially could be counted.

Report: Florida Democrats Urged Voters to Submit Absentee Ballots After Election Day Using Altered Forms.  Florida Democrats urged voters to submit absentee ballots after Election Day, using an official form that had been altered to make it look like they were doing so within the legal deadline, hoping a judge would later allow the votes.  That attempt to add Democratic votes, which critics say is possible election fraud, was reported Thursday morning [11/15/2018] by Ana Ceballos of the Naples Daily News, who notes the scheme has already been reported to federal prosecutors.

Democrats in Florida know that recounting the existing votes is unlikely to change the result.  Republican Gov. Rick Scott leads Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson by 12,562 votes in the Florida Senate race.  A margin of victory that large has never be overturned in a recount.  According to FairVote, the average vote shift in statewide general election recounts is a meager 282 votes.  "The biggest swing came in Florida's 2000 presidential election recount, when Al Gore cut 1,247 votes off George W. Bush's lead, ultimately not enough to flip the state to his column," according to a FiveThirtyEight report on what FairVote found.  So even if Nelson were to swing 10 times as many votes in this recount as Gore did in 2000, he would still come up short.

Accepting election outcomes you don't like is something only Republicans are required to do.  It's been more than a week since the last votes were cast in the 2018 midterms, that was last Tueday [sic].  but still several key races remain unresolved.  In the state of Florida, a recount is ongoing, and we'll have more on that in a moment.  It's a pretty weird story.  But perhaps strangest of all is what's happening in Georgia.  The race for Georgia governor was tight for months, you probably followed it, but it finished in the end pretty much exactly where the polls predicted it would finish:  The Republican Brian Kemp defeated Democrat Stacy Abrams by about one and a half percentage points.  In a big state, that is an awful lot of votes.  For reasons she hasn't really explained though, Stacey Abrams has refused to accept those results.  Her allies are now claiming the election was stolen.

Broward County Erases GOP Vote Gains, 'Missed' Recount Deadline by 2 Minutes.  Florida Republicans Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis would have increased their margins of victory Thursday if Broward County did not narrowly miss the 3 p.m. deadline to submit machine recount results for the state's midterm elections.  The recount would have increased DeSantis's lead over Democrat Andrew Gillum in the race for governor by 755 votes, while Scott's lead could have been lifted by 779 votes.  "We uploaded to the state two minutes late so the state has chosen not to use our machine recount results and they are going to use the first unofficial results as our second unofficial results," said Elections worker Joe D'Alessandro.  "There was a co-mingling of ballots and that we did not correctly handle the ballot."

Sound the Alarms!  Dems Are Stealing Election After Election 8 Days After.  This is what they do in Banana Republics.  In Florida and elsewhere, including Georgia, Democrat lawyers are calling on judges to overturn laws.  They first go judge shopping.  For example, communist/socialist Stacey Abrams' lawyer went to a court where her sister sits as a judge.  They actually asked the judge to overturn the law so they can count votes of people who didn't send in ballots or sent them in after Election Day.  If the judge doesn't find her way, they will claim it is voter suppression.

Georgia Judge Who Ruled Error-Filled Ballots To Be Counted Donated Thousands To Democrats.  Georgia Democrats continue to fight to close the gap in votes between Democrtic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams and Republican Brian Kemp while interesting new details emerge.  "A U.S. District Court Judge in the Northern District of Georgia's Atlanta Division ruled Tuesday that ballots in one of the state's counties must be counted, even if the "birth year" on the voter registration is omitted."  Big League Politics reported Tuesday morning [11/13/2018].  Judge Leigh Martin May sits on the bench of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.  But she is also a Democrat donor, having given $1250 to Rep. Sanford Bishop (D-Ga.) during his 2012 campaign.

Hey, 'Fake Tapper'! Here's evidence of voter fraud in Florida.  Wednesday [11/14/2018] on the radio, LevinTV host Mark Levin answered CNN anchor Jake Tapper's demands for evidence of voter fraud.  "So the intrepid Jake Tapper, aka Fake Tapper, sits on his butt at the CNN headquarters in Washington D.C., demanding that Republicans bring him evidence of fraud," Levin said.  "OK, Fake, I'm going to give you some information."  Levin read from a Politico report detailing how the Florida Department of State has asked federal prosecutors to investigate altered election documents tied to the Florida Democratic Party.  Audio of a Florida Democratic Party caller leaving a voicemail message asking a Palm Beach County voter to illegally fix their vote by mail ballot after Election Day was also reported by Politico.

Oregon launches investigation into two people who submitted slew of late ballots.  Oregon Secretary of State Dennis Richardson has launched an investigation into two individuals who turned in nearly 100 ballots the day after the election.  Mr. Richardson, a Republican, said Multnomah County elections officials informed him of the 97 late ballots, which included 92 in Multnomah County, four in Clackamas County, and one in Washington County.  He said it would be illegal to count the ballots as part of the Nov. 6 election, and that the voters were mailed notifications.

Democrats Launch Training Sessions for "1000 Volunteer" Lawyers to Manage Recount and Steal in Florida.  Democrats have produced tens of thousands of ballots several days after the election — even worse, Broward County refused to disclose how many ballots they had left to tabulate which allowed them to count however many they needed to bring the Democrats within the margin of a recount.  While Republicans have 'election day,' the Democrats enjoy 'election week' or 'election month.'

Principles, honor and the coming banana republic.  Take a look at what's going on with these November political races.  You've got a Democrat in Georgia refusing to concede, filing a suit to extend the certification deadline.  You've got races in Florida won by Republicans now headed to recounts demanded by Democrats.  You've got a race in Arizona that seemed all-in for the Republican but then shifted, days and days after polls closed, to the Democrat.  You've got courts and recounts and counties with histories of problems at the polls, accusations and conspiracies, heated exchanges and tense televised spats, media buzzing that stokes even more fiery concerns — some due, some undue — and at the end of the day, you've got an American public that's left with a big old pot of mayhem and madness, collectively puzzling a week after elections about who really won.  Can you say banana republic?

Republican activists claim 15 ballot box tags as proof of Florida election fraud.  Bikers for Trump leader Chris Cox bustled through the throng of protesters at the Broward County elections office at the heart of the Florida recount fandango, drawing attention to colored zip-tie tags found on the ground near the building's loading dock.  Mr. Cox and a crowd of Republican activists are convinced that the 15 red and orange tags were cut off ballot boxes before the votes reached the election office, which could be a violation of state law, evidence of vote tampering or nothing at all.  "This election is a fraud," Mr. Cox said in a video of the scene posted on Facebook.  "It's pretty disgusting here.  I'm glad that you're not here because this isn't anything you want to see."

Florida Dems planned to use altered forms to fix mail ballots across state after deadline.  The altered forms surfaced in Broward, Santa Rosa, Citrus and Okaloosa counties and were reported to federal prosecutors to review for possible election fraud as Florida counties complete a required recount in three top races.  But an email obtained by the USA TODAY NETWORK-Florida shows that Florida Democrats were organizing a broader statewide effort beyond those counties to give voters the altered forms to fix improper absentee ballots after the Nov. 5 deadline.  Democratic party leaders provided staffers with copies of a form, known as a "cure affidavit," that had been modified to include an inaccurate Nov. 8 deadline.

15 Arrested in GA Over Vote Count.  Democrats won't quit until the losers become the winners.  So what the people spoke, the votes tallied, and the Republicans won.  That's not what Democrats wanted, so why not cheat.  Thus, the group that speaks of election integrity and honoring the will of the people always [complain] when they lose.  Next they try to steal elections with "oops, lookey here" votes.  Finally, they protest.  That's what's happening in GA, where 15 people were arrested for disorderly conduct after refusing to leave the state Capital.

53,000 Dead People on Florida's Voter Rolls.  One thing is certain for every election.  The Democrats always get the dead vote.  Dead people somehow don't get wiped off the state's voter rolls and manage to resurrect themselves for elections.  And not surprisingly, these zombie voters always vote for the Democrats.  I guess that's why there are still at least 53,000 dead people on Florida's voter rolls.  This is why Bill Nelson and Andrew Gillum were even competitive in the election last week.  Dead people, illegal aliens and felons voted for the Democrats.  Others, voted multiple times, for the Democrats.

More Voter Fraud:  All Undecided House Races Finding More Democrat Votes.  While everyone is focused on Florida and the Democrat voter fraud going on there, more Democrat voter fraud is happening from New Jersey to California.  Seats that have been in Republican hands, and had more Republican votes than Democrats are suddenly all trending towards Democrats.  How is it that every race still undecided continues to trend Democrat one week later?  There are seats in all over the country, most notably in New Jersey and Orange County, California that haven't been called yet.

L.A. County Officials Downplay Kim, Cisneros Vote-Counting 'Misconduct' Charges.  The Los Angeles County Registrar is minimizing charges of vote-counting misconduct leveled by campaign surrogates in California's 39th Congressional District.  Since Friday, Republican former Assemblywoman Young Kim and Democrat Gil Cisneros, a Navy veteran and lottery winner, have traded accusations that surrogates for their campaigns have either intimidated or improperly handled ballots during the tedious, ongoing vote-counting process.  Tens of thousands of votes have not yet been counted in the race.  As of early Tuesday, the two sides were fewer than 2,000 votes apart with the campaigns expecting updated tallies Tuesday night from the three counties that contribute a portion of votes to the district.

How Many Non-Citizens Vote in U.S. Elections?  Based on survey samples of 32,000 voters in 2008 and 55,000 voters in 2010, the authors among other things find:  [#1] It is likely though by no means certain that John McCain would have won North Carolina were it not for the votes for Obama cast by non-citizens.  [#2] A similar analysis reveals that there was one House race and one Senate race during the 2008 and 2010 election cycles which were close enough for votes by non-citizens to potentially account for the entirety of the Democratic victor's margin.  As before this analysis merges Census estimates of the number of adult non-citizens by House district and State with FEC tabulations of final election results.  In 2008 there were 22 House races and two Senate races in which the Democratic candidate's winning margin was small enough that less than 100 percent turnout among non-citizens could account for Democratic victory, and in 2010 there were 24 such House districts and three Senate races.  [#3] The MN 2008 Senate race is also the race where the smallest portion of non-citizen votes would have tipped the balance — participation by more than 0.65% of non-citizens in MN is sufficient to account for the entirety of Franken's margin.  Our best guess is that nearly ten times as many voted.

Since Election Day:  Democrats Pick Off Over a Dozen GOP House Seats and 2 Senate Seats, and They're Going for More.  In the US Senate Democrats picked up two seats since Election Day.  In Montana Senator Jon Tester — who was behind on election day — had a huge haul overnight and won by 5 points.  In Arizona Taliban-supporting Marxist Kyrsten Sinema was declared the winner a week after votes were cast after being behind on election night[.]  In Florida Democrats have discovered a secret stash of 83,000 votes since election day!  Senator Bill Nelson is now surprisingly only 12,000 votes down here.

Florida Election Fraud's Hidden Gun-control Agenda.  We've all seen those lists of objects, names, or places on tests along with the question of which one doesn't belong or is out of place.  Apply that test to the three Florida races affected by the vote fraud/incompetence in Broward and Palm Beach counties: senator, governor, and agricultural commissioner.  Uh, agricultural commissioner?  Why is anyone trying to steal that election, one lost under the radar among the seemingly more important national impact offices at stake?  The answer is that capturing the Florida agricultural commissioner's post would be a key victory in liberal and progressive push for gun control.  As the Tampa Bay Times notes, Florida is unusual in that the Florida agricultural commissioner, rather than the courts or other law enforcement, is the entity that regulates and controls things like concealed carry permits.

GOP lawmaker:  Democrats are testing election systems to 'steal the election' from Trump in 2020.  Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz said Democrats are "stress-testing the integrity" of the U.S. election system in order to design a plan to "steal" the election from President Trump in 2020.  "[I]f the Democrats are able to learn now what techniques work and don't work, what transparency laws are going to be followed and which ones aren't, then it gives them a road-map on how to steal the election from Donald Trump in 2020," Gaetz told Breitbart in a radio interview Tuesday.  "I really think that's what this is about.  The resistance movement has changed from yelling at town halls and yelling in restaurants to now, potentially, trying to steal elections that they can't win at the ballot box."

Palm Beach County's voting machines overheat and force recount of more than 170,000 votes.  Palm Beach County's race to recount votes is heating up — literally.  The county's decade-old ballot-counting machines overheated and gave incorrect totals, forcing the county to restart its recount of about 175,000 early votes, supervisor of Elections Susan Bucher said Tuesday night [11/13/2018].  The department has flown in mechanics to repair the machines.  "We're disappointed by the mechanical problems that are going to cause a further delay in the recount," Bucher told reporters.  "It became evident through the vigorous pace of counting that the machines used for the recount were starting to get stressed."  The malfunctions resulted in the loss of more than a day's work.

Florida Recount Chugs Along as More Irregularities Surface.  Florida's election recount is chugging along as more irregularities are uncovered and a judge asked the warring sides to "ramp down the rhetoric," saying it erodes public confidence in the election for Senate and governor.

Democrat Lawyers Now Asking Judge to Change Florida Laws to Steal Election.  Democrat lawyers have descended on Florida in order to steal the Senate and Governor elections from Republicans.  Hillary Clinton, Perkins Coie and other DC swamp dwellers are now working round the clock to install their radical left-wing candidates.  In a series of urgent tweets, Senator Rubio said late Tuesday evening [11/13/2018] that Democrat lawyers are actually asking a judge to change Florida election laws AFTER the election in order to steal the Senate and Governor seats.

Stacey Abrams Files Lawsuit to Force Georgia Counties to Accept Rejected Ballots.  Georgia Democrat gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams filed a lawsuit in federal court Sunday [11/11/2018] in the hopes she could legally force a runoff election in her race against rival Republican gubernatorial candidate Brian Kemp.  Abrams, who has not conceded to Kemp despite him gaining 50.3 percent of the vote with 100 percent of precincts reporting as of Monday afternoon, filed a lawsuit Sunday to block two counties from rejecting provisional and absentee ballots with slight errors, the Washington Post reported.

What's the matter with Florida?  Brenda Snipes, the supervisor of Elections in Broward County, has held her job for 15 years.  Her history, to put it charitably, has been checkered.  Last May, a judge ruled that Snipes violated federal and state election laws when she destroyed ballots in the 2016 congressional race in which Tim Canova lost a primary contest to incumbent Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz.  In August, a judge ordered Snipes to stop opening mail-in ballots in secret.  Snipes has engaged in other behavior that has raised concerns about her competence and nonpartisanship, including again in 2016 when she "accidentally" posted election results 30 minutes before polls closed.

Contrast in Competence — Miami Dade is Halfway Finished With Recount, Broward County Hasn't Even Started.  Well, this certainly adds context to the charges of purposeful incompetence applied toward notoriously corrupt Broward County Supervisor of Elections, Brenda Snipes.  According to a recent report from the Miami Herald, Miami-Dade County is halfway through the constitutionally required recount of votes.  Meanwhile, Broward County has not started; and there's almost no way for them to meet the court-ordered deadline of Thursday afternoon [11/15/2018].

Arizona must do something about these 'emergency voting centers'.  After early voting was over, Maricopa County in Arizona held 'emergency voting' in five locations that were heavily Democratic, between Saturday and Monday before the election.  This was said to be at the request of the Mayor who had endorsed Sinema over a year ago, per [The Washington] Free Beacon.  So-called "emergency voting" is legal in Arizona, but it was handled in a very partisan way which is why it's getting so much criticism.

Election Fraud On The Grand Scale In Florida.  Allowing this to prosper is one large step towards an open and violent (as they always are) civil war.

Voter Fraud?  Over 1,000 Broward County Voters Claim to Live at Florida UPS Stores.  More than 1,000 registered voters in Broward County unlawfully listed United Parcel Service (UPS) boxes as the address where they live, official records show.  According to Florida Statute 97.053, voter applicants must provide their "legal residence address."  The official Florida Voter Registration form specifically asks for "Legal Residence-no P.O. Box."  On the Broward Supervisor of Elections website, citizens are told valid applications must include, "Full Name, Date of Birth, Address of Legal Residence (address where you live), Florida Drivers License number or Florida ID card, or the last four digits of Social Security number and signature."  Despite the clear instructions, a Media Trackers Florida investigation found 1,128 registered voters in Broward County listed a UPS box as the place where they live.

Broward County Creates Phantom District to Allow Illegal Voting.  Broward County has assigned more than 2,000 voters to a phantom voting district, including hundreds who illegally list a UPS box as their residence.  The phantom voting district, listed as the Broward Government Center in downtown Fort Lauderdale, includes nearly 800 voters who illegally list a UPS box as their place of residence.

Shocker: 1,282 out of 1,762 New Votes That Magically Appeared This Weekend in Georgia Went to Stacey Abrams.  The Georgia Democrat Party announced on Saturday [11/10/2018] that a handful of Georgia counties have suddenly discovered thousands of new votes that need to be counted.  The Georgia Democrats say the new stash included absentee, early and election day votes.

Federal judge rules to protect provisional ballots, Abrams' campaign cheers 'good news'.  A federal judge on Monday [11/12/2018] ordered Georgia take steps to protect provisional ballots and to wait until Friday to certify the results of the midterm elections that include an unsettled race for governor.  Lauren Groh-Wargo, Abrams campaign manager, announced Judge Amy Totenberg's decision late Monday.  WSBTV.com reported that the judge's 56-page ruling could affect thousands of provisional ballots.  Groh-Wargo called the ruling "good news."  Brian Kemp, her Republican challenger, issued a statement a day earlier calling for Abrams to concede.  Kemp has declared victory and said it is "mathematically impossible" for her campaign to force a runoff.

Jeb Bush joins Republicans calling for Brenda Snipes' removal amid Florida election chaos.  Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush added his voice to the growing number of Republicans calling for Brenda Snipes, the Broward supervisor of elections, to be removed from her post amid the controversy over the vote recount in Florida's pivotal races for governor and Senate.  "There is no question that Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes failed to comply with Florida law on multiple counts, undermining Floridians' confidence in our electoral process," Bush tweeted on Monday [11/12/2018].  "Supervisor Snipes should be removed from her office following the recounts."

Where's the liberal media on the Florida vote meltdown?  Too busy investigating Russia.  The epicenter of the mess is Broward and Palm Beach counties — the same counties that were at the heart of the Bush v.  Gore recount mess in 2000.  The liberal media's reporting on this situation has not been good.  CNN election forecaster Harry Enten recently tweeted "'Voter fraud' is quickly becoming a synonym for 'result I don't like.'"  But the problems in both counties are very real and could indeed be facilitating fraud.  In Republican governor and Senate candidate Rick Scott's lawsuit against Democratic Palm Beach County Elections Supervisor Susan Bucher, the county court found that Bucher was illegally withholding over-votes and under-votes from the county canvassing board and barring public viewing of the counting.  Gov. Scott also filed a lawsuit against Broward County Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes last Thursday, alleging that her office was hiding information about the number of ballots left to be counted.  Again, a county court ruled in his favor as Snipes kept "discovering" new ballots.

Ending Election Fraud.  Democrats have long pushed for voting ease at the expense of voting integrity, pushing measures from voting by mail, to Motor Voter laws, to same-day registration while opposing voter ID laws which requires people to show up on election day with proof they are who they say they are.  They claim Voter ID laws are designed to disenfranchise voters.  So does the sudden appearance of mystery ballots days, even weeks, after elections without a documented chain of custody or certainty that other ballots weren't destroyed or that the ballots found were cast by real, live American citizens. [...] Amazingly, missing ballots are seemingly never found that give the lead to or increase it for the Republican.

Voting Dead: 44,000 Registered In Both Virginia, Maryland.  [Scroll down]  Working with the Privileges and Elections committees of the Virginia state House and Senate, the Virginia Voter Alliance also identified 31,000 dead voters via the Social Security Administration's Death Master File.  Subsequent processing by the State Board of Elections found 40,000 to 60,000 dead-voter registrations. [...] As Fox News has reported, a law passed [in 2013] by the North Carolina legislature required election staff to check information for North Carolina's more than 6.5 million voters against a database containing information for 101 million voters in 28 other states.  That cross-check found listings for 35,570 North Carolina voters whose first names, last names and dates of birth match those of voters who voted in other states.

Democrats and the Rule of Lawyers.  Cicero is remembered today as a great Roman orator, but few recall that he was a lawyer by trade. [...] Cicero's career, which contributed to the republic's collapse, came to mind when Democrat Bill Nelson hired attorney Marc E. Elias — a "recount specialist" with ties to Hillary Clinton and George Soros — to sue the state of Florida over the outcome of its recent senatorial race.  Elias made his intentions clear upon arriving in the Sunshine State:  "We're doing this not just because it's automatic... we're doing it to win."  And he does indeed know how to "win" recounts.  He was the perpetrator of Al Franken's notorious 2008 Senate "victory."

The Math:  It's Almost Certain That Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis Have Won in Florida.  Amid the violations of law by Broward and Palm Beach County elections officials, the data provides apparent good news for Republicans.  First, despite the national media's typical laziness and derelictions, the local press has largely been assiduous and conscientious — certain framing aside.  Second, core concerns raised by leading Republicans (some of which were rhetorically overblown) have been validated by multiple judges.  The ineptitude and misconduct has not gone unnoticed.  Third, in spite of Democratic lawyers' best efforts, Republican leads in key races are likely insurmountable.

Election will be stolen only if we let them.  In Florida, Broward County election official Brenda Snipes has turned into a villain.  She did it herself.  She got away with defying election law before.  Why would she ever think she could not stuff the ballot boxes this time?  She is in contempt of court orders because she knows she can get away with it.  The local media never held her accountable.  The Miami Herald still thinks nothing is amiss.

Avis Rental Car Returned With Ballots, Media Narrative Claims 'Suspicious Package'.  In what appears to be a massive cover up, a Democrat, Broward County employee returned a rental car to the Fort Lauderdale Airport with two boxes of provisional ballots in the trunk.  However, the media is not reporting that, but following a "suspicious package" narrative as the airport was shut down last night after the discovery.  Laura Loomer reported images of the boxes and the Avis employee who found them.  The highly leftist Broward County Sheriff's Office shut down a portion of the Fort Lauderdale airport after the boxes of ballots were reported.  They called it a "suspicious package" and brought in the bomb squad to "investigate," shutting down the airport for hours.  Literally every local news media outlet has parroted the line of the "suspicious package."  "Only a few conservative outlets even mentioned that the package was actually two boxes of provisional ballots from Broward County."

Brenda Snipes, idiocy and how to destroy the electoral system.  Firing Miriam [Oliphant] was not easy for Gov. [Jeb!] Bush despite the obvious need to do so, and the Democrats' reaction threatened to paralyze the state government.  He actually stated his intention to keep her in January of 2003, and sacked her in November of that year, after accepting the condition imposed by the Democrats that whoever was appointed to replace her had to be a black Democrat woman.  Seriously.  No kidding.  That became the litmus test to be appointed as Supervisor of elections in Broward.  Not the best person.  Not a qualified man woman or in-between.  A black, Democrat, woman.  And the one Black Democrat woman the Democrats shoved down Gov. Bush's throat to allow for the removal of the unbelievably incompetent Oliphant was...

Donald Trump:  Honest Vote Count in Florida 'No Longer Possible'.  President Donald Trump expressed skepticism about a recount in the Florida election on Monday [11/12/2018], claiming it was impossible to conduct a fair tally.  "An honest vote count is no longer possible-ballots massively infected," he wrote on Twitter.  "Must go with Election Night!"  The recount of the midterm election vote has already started with the deadline for results on Thursday.

The Common Thread in All Those Florida Election Debacles.  Counting every vote has been a standby line for Democrats for years, but few folks believe it anymore.  Most Americans only believe that every eligible and legal vote should count — not literally every vote.  Whether it's 1876, 2000 or 2018, the Democrats' goal is to win and gain power.

Mourning in America.  Close elections in traditionally red states are being upended with mystery ballots popping up out of the ether.  And it's all being done with Democrat cries of "count every vote!"  But we know Democrats don't care about integrity.  Lying, cheating, and stealing are acceptable as long as they reach their destination.

Official Records Show Underage Teenagers Voting In Florida.  As the vote-counting situation in Florida intensifies, Big League Politics has obtained public information showing that people who are officially listed as being under the age of 18 voted in the state of Florida in the early or absentee voting process.  People must be 18 years old to vote in the state of Florida.  Although 17-year olds can vote in a primary if they turn 18 before the general election, no one is allowed to vote in a general election without being 18.

Palm Beach County Bans Cameras from Public Ballot-Counting Procedure.  Matt Vespa has been vigorously covering the obvious stupidity and apparent corruption at the hands of Broward and Palm Beach County election officials.  Either way you spin it, whether outright voter fraud or extreme incompetence, Brenda Snipes and Susan Bucher have placed the legitimacy of a United States Senate seat in doubt because of their disastrous actions.  But now, Bucher is attempting to block the press and the American public from viewing how exactly the votes are being counted.

Report: FL Airport Shut Down Over 'Suspicious Package' That Ended Up Being Provisional Ballots?  Late Sunday evening [11/11/2018] the Ft. Lauderdale Airport was shut down due to a suspicious package left outside of one of the terminals.  Reports are coming in that an Avis rental car employee discovered provisional ballot boxes left in the back of a rental car that had just been returned by a Broward County employee.  Laura Loomer and others working with her tried to gain access at the airport but was turned away by Broward County Sheriffs.

America Deserves Better.  Another critical election.  Another electoral failure in Florida.  Another vote counting disaster in Broward County.  Some Americans suspect fraud, indeed Broward County looks like a banana republic.  The latest ballot debacle may be a result of carelessness or incompetence, rather than fraud.  But election officials unable to do their job just invite abuse.  A botched vote undermines confidence in American democracy.  There is no more vital act for a citizen than to elect his or her local, state and national leaders.  Voters expect only those who are legally eligible to cast ballots.  Which in turn will be counted accurately and quickly.  This sets a genuine republic apart from fraudulent "people's republics."

Dem-leaning Palm Beach County says it likely won't make recount deadline in Florida governor, Senate races.  The supervisor of elections in Florida's heavily Democratic Palm Beach County said Sunday that she did not believe her department would meet a Thursday deadline to complete recounts in the Sunshine State's historically tight gubernatorial and Senate races, threatening to further confuse an increasingly chaotic and politically fraught process.  The supervisor, Susan Bucher, told reporters that she did not expect to meet the deadline due to aging equipment.  Florida Department of State spokeswoman Sarah Revell told Fox News that under state law, if a county does not submit their results by the deadline, then the results on file at the time take their place.  Revell added that Florida's Secretary of State has no authority to grant extensions.

Florida AG Pam Bondi Steps In — Sends Warning Letters to Florida Sec. of State and FDLE Commissioner.  On Sunday [11/11/2018], Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi said, "FDLE's duty to investigation this matter is clear, and I am directing the department to take the necessary steps to promote public safety and to assure that our state will guarantee integrity in our elections process."  Bondi sent two letters Sunday highlighting the "irregularities" occuring at both Palm Beach County and Broward County polling sites.  The Florida Attorney General stated in her letter to FDLE Commissioner Rick Swearingen that she is "deeply troubled" by his department's announcement it will not pursue any investigation into the clearly documented "irregularities" in the conduct of elections supervisors Brenda Snipes and Susan Bucher.

Broward County:  Incompetence So Astounding, A Fiction Book Would Be Described As "Unreadably Far-Fetched".  Brenda Snipes' office faced a June lawsuit filed in circuit court by then Democrat (and now independent) Tim Canova.  He had wanted to inspect the optical-scan ballots cast in his Aug. 30 primary race against Wasserman Schultz because he had concerns about the integrity of the elections office.  Under longstanding federal law, ballots cast in a congressional race aren't to be destroyed until 22 months after the election.  And under state law, a public record sought in a court case is not supposed to be destroyed without a judge's order.  Snipes' office, however, destroyed the paper ballots in question in September — in the middle of Canova's lawsuit — but said it was lawful because the office made high-quality electronic copies.  Canova's legal team found this out after it had actually happened.  Tim Canova posted this viral Twitter video  [Video clip]  of what appears to be unsupervised transport of ballots during the 2018 midterms.  Seven election-law lawyers interviewed by POLITICO do not share Snipes' attorney's interpretation of the statute.  Nor does the Department of Justice's voting division, which is in charge of enforcing the federal law.

Soros-Tied Hillary Alumni Group Helping to Organize Volunteers for Florida Recount.  Demand Justice, an organization founded by former members of Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign and associated with a "social welfare organization" financed by billionaire activist George Soros, is helping to organize volunteers to aid Senator Bill Nelson's campaign with the Florida recount.  Demand Justice sent out a blast email asking for "volunteers to help out in a variety of roles in the recount process, including observing at polls, data processing, and logistics organization."  The group advertised that it is seeking supporters who are either in Florida or who can travel there.

Kyrsten Sinema picks up 4,000 votes in Arizona Senate race.  Democrat Kyrsten Sinema is continuing to inch ahead in the slow-motion finish to Arizona's U.S. Senate race.  On Saturday night [11/10/2018], she remained a little more than a percentage point ahead of Republican Martha McSally.  She gained 4,000 votes from a batch of ballots tallied in Maricopa County as well as a few thousand from elsewhere in the state.

Georgia Democrats tout surprise ballots that could sink Brian Kemp's bid for governor.  There may be hope yet for Stacey Abrams, the Democratic candidate for governor.  The Democratic Party of Georgia tweeted Saturday evening [11/10/2018] that a "handful" of Georgia counties reported thousands of "new" absentee, early, and Election Day votes not accounted for by Republican candidate Brian Kemp.  Kemp, who resigned as secretary of state on Thursday, has asserted victory even though the race has not been called and Abrams has yet to concede.

Florida Dems Want Non-Citizens Votes to Count.  Attorneys representing Democrats Andrew Gillum and Sen. Bill Nelson fought in court to prevent non-citizens votes from being excluded in the Florida recount, according to a transcript of a Palm Beach County Canvassing Board proceeding.  The Daily Caller reported that attorneys representing both Gillum and Nelson objected to a non-citizen's vote from being excluded from the official count.

Georgia Democrat Party Says Thousands of New "Absentee, Early, and Election Day Votes" Were Just Discovered in Several Counties.  They're going to steal Georgia too.  The Georgia Democrat Party announced on Saturday that a handful of Georgia counties have suddenly discovered thousands of new votes that need to be counted.  The Georgia Democrats say the new stash included absentee, early and election day votes.  The midterm election was four days ago.

When People Wonder Why Broward County, Florida Is Allowed To Be So Corrupt Show Them This.  More and more are asking why the Broward County Elections Office, which has amassed numerous legal rulings against them both past and present, is allowed to continue largely unimpeded by any real oversight.  Well, there are places in the United States where government corruption is part of a community's DNA:  Detroit, Chicago, Austin, Sacramento, Baltimore, etc., and yes, Broward County, Florida.  All of these examples and more are afforded protection from on high from the masters of the anti-American Progressive movement so long as they do one thing — help Democrats to win elections.

6.5M people with active Social Security numbers are 112 or older:  IG.  Roughly 6.5 million people with active Social Security numbers are age 112 and older, according to an audit by the Social Security Administration's inspector general.  The March 4 audit concluded that the administration "did not have controls in place to annotate death information" on the the main electronic file, called Numident, for Social Security numberholders who exceeded maximum reasonable life expectancies and were likely deceased.  "We obtained Numident data that identified approximately 6.5 million numberholders born before June 16, 1901 who did not have a date of death on their record," the report states.

Eeny, Meeny, Miny, Moe.  It's hard to think of a more suspect outfit than the Broward County Elections Board, a starring buffoon in the 2000 Bush v.  Gore hanging-chad farce.  The board got a new chief after that debacle, but Governor Jeb Bush had to fire her in 2003, once the cronies she'd hired made a shambles of the 2002 balloting by opening polls late and closing them early.  Bush's next appointment, current incumbent Brenda Snipes — like her predecessor a black woman Democrat, picked to defuse a political explosion on the firing of the only other black woman Democratic county official — has proved little better.  Her board didn't deliver 58,000 absentee ballots in the 2004 election, and it "lost" 1,000 ballots in the 2012 election.  Snipes broke the law in the 2016 election by posting results before the legal time, by destroying ballots before the law allowed, and by leaving a voter amendment off some ballots.  In the current election, she has consistently failed to give updates on the number of uncounted ballots, as the law demands.  One of her deputies says that a now-empty ballot box found in a closet in a school-auditorium polling place was just left behind, pending collection.

Even WashPost Concedes Broward Elections Supervisor Is Incompetent at Best.  Although the mainstream media continues to deny the many allegations of corruption and fraud against the Broward County Supervisor of Elections, Brenda Snipes, even they are forced to concede the overwhelming evidence of incompetence on her part.  The absurdly high level of incompetence on display by Snipes is too much for even some in the liberal media, which would normally be expected to jump to her defense especially since the highly questionable Broward ballots threaten to deprive Rick Scott of his U.S. Senate victory over incumbent Democrat Bill Nelson.

Voter fraud is a national emergency that both parties routinely ignore.  A Gov Watchdog group found that OH-12 has 170 voters who are older than 116 years old.  124 of them were born in 1800, according to public records 72 of them voted in the 2016 Election[.]

Andrew Gillum to Hold 'Count Every Vote' Rally at Broward County Church Sunday Evening.  One day after un-conceding the election, defeated Democrat candidate for Florida governor Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum will hold a rally at a Broward County church Sunday evening [11/11/2018] sponsored by leftist political groups in support of the recount efforts that could upend the election day victory of Republican candidate Ron DeSantis.  The rally is being called, "Count Every Vote:  A Faith Response to the Florida Recount".

Fired: Broward County Employee Gives Affidavit, Blank Ballots Being Filled Out.  Brenda Snipes, the official in charge of Broward County elections, has repeatedly shown herself as an unscrupulous and possibly criminal liberal.  According to former Florida Lieutenant Governor Jeff Kottkamp, the election staff was seen filling out blank ballots.  After the ballots were supposed to be turned over by Snipes per a court order, an employee filed an affidavit after being fired for reporting the behavior.

Surprise! Georgia Democrats encouraged as 'thousands of new votes' have come in for Stacey Abrams.  Republican Brian Kemp has claimed victory in the Georgia governor's race, but the Abrams campaign and the state Democratic Party are keeping their hopes alive with new findings.

Playing Dumb, Stupid & Negligent Doesn't Eliminate Corruption & Criminality In Stolen Elections.  Broward County, Florida is the absolute worst part of America.  Their sheriff hid from a mass shooter instead of taking him out.  They literally tried to steal a Presidential election in 2000.  And the woman now in charge may have a slow drawl but she is a repeat offender in manipulating elections.  She chalks it up to the "aw shucks" "we not very fast with our voting" shtick that no one is seeing through.  She complained that they had "a large number of write ins, that they had a large number of early votes, and a large number of day-of votes."  The drawl and act is actually (she hopes) substituting for accountability and it's time to point out a handful of very inconvenient facts.

Election Time in the Banana Republic of Florida.  So who's responsible for this nauseating state of affairs?  The Democrats, no surprise, behave as if Boss Tweed were reincarnated in Miami Beach, bringing down their best Fusion GPS lawyer from the Perkins Cole mafia of Trump dossier fame to oversee the recount.  As long as you're on the "correct" side of things, by any means necessary, right?  But the GOP hasn't got clean hands either.  Rick Scott and his fellow Republicans cry foul when the election supervisors of Broward and Palm Beach counties act in a manner that would make Mayor Daley blush, but aren't they a little late?  Where have these GOP pols been for the last several decades?  This is nothing new.  Voter irregularities are as common in Florida as hurricanes — and probably more toxic in the long run.

[Several] Arrested In Organized Voter Fraud Scheme.  According to ABC7 Amarillo, nine people have now been arrested in connection to participating in an illegal voting scheme in Edinburg, Texas.  The arrests follow an ongoing investigation where political workers recruited people who agreed to fraudulently claim residential addresses so they could vote in the specific city of Edinburg municipal races.

9 Arrested in Second Voter Fraud Ring in Texas Grin in Court.  Voter fraud.  It's an imaginary problem, Democrats say.

9 arrested in Edinburg voter fraud probe.  The Texas Attorney General's Office arrested nine people Thursday for allegedly voting illegally in last year's Edinburg municipal election, bringing the total number of accused to 14.  Thursday [11/8/2018] marked the second time the AG's office made sweeping arrests in connection with the hotly contested November 2017 race, when longtime Mayor Richard Garcia was ousted and a new majority, led by Mayor Richard Molina, was ushered in.

Florida Vote Scandal Coverage Shows Media-Democrat Complicity.  Again.  To make sure that votes aren't being invented or destroyed to effect an outcome, one of the first priorities of any election supervisor is to announce how many ballots are in possession and how many remain to be counted.  To fail to do this, as the Broward County and Palm Beach County Supervisors had, is to open themselves up to the accusation of massive vote fraud.  Citizens can not have confidence that ballots are not being destroyed, or created, when supervisors fail to immediately announce how many ballots are on hand.  Florida law also requires that vote-by-mail and absentee ballots are accounted for within 30 minutes of polls closing.  While the other 65 counties in Florida had no problem following this state law, the supervisors of Broward County and Palm Beach County refused to follow that law.  Florida law also requires that the Department of State be given reports every 45 minutes until results are completely filed.  Palm Beach County has refused to do this.

The Four Chads Return.  As I have said lo, these many years, when Republicans win elections, they have to win beyond the Margin of Lawyer.  Otherwise, regardless of who won on Election Day, the Democrat always wins on Post-Election Day, because mysteriously all the missing ballot boxes found in dumpsters and recycling bins and the trunks of Democrat cars contain virtually no Republican votes.  Alas, in the Sunshine State of Florida, the GOP's gubernatorial and senatorial candidates failed to win beyond the Margin of Lawyer, and as a result we're all discovering, two decades on, that the same institutional corruption that put US electoral integrity on a par with the Congo is still there, entirely unspoiled by progress.  Everything else in the world has been transformed beyond recognition — newspapers, telephones, Bruce Jenner — but the Florida chadlands have been lovingly preserved as a wacky Recount theme park.

Undercover Video Captures Broward County Ballots Being Transferred in Private Car.  All eyes are on Florida where suspected shenanigans are afoot as Democrat county officials are "discovering" new ballots that could change the outcome of both the U.S. Senate and governors race.  Now, a clear violation of ballot transportation protocol has purportedly been caught on camera.  Congressional candidate Tim Canova posted what he claims is video of ballots being transferred in a private automobile.

We found more votes!
Hillary Clinton's Fusion GPS Lawyer Marc Elias Tries To Steal Florida.  As we await Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report on the Trump-Russia collusion hoax and 2016 election meddling by Moscow, incumbent and election night lame duck Florida Democrat Sen. Bill Nelson is trying to save his Senate seat by bringing in attorney Marc Elias, one of the key players in the collusion with Russia by Fusion GPS and the DNC to derail the Trump candidacy and presidency.


Florida Has A History Of Sketchy Election Recounts.  I've been watching some of the general outrage on CNN this weekend over the idea that Republicans would dare to question the integrity of the ongoing vote counting in Florida.  Of course, it all seems to be rather selective outrage, mixed with a curious lack of interest in recent history when it comes to the Sunshine State and counting votes in close races.  Florida officials aren't doing themselves any favors in this situation, particularly when they appear to be going out of their way to make it look like they're hiding something.

Arizona GOP Accuses Dem Recorder of Destroying Evidence.  Arizona Republican Party Chairman Jonathan Lines accused Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes of destroying evidence, in the midst of the ongoing vote count in the razor-thin contest for a U.S. Senate seat between Congresswomen Martha McSally (R.) and Krysten Sinema (D.).  Late Thursday night [11/8/2018], new updates from many of the recorders across the state shot Sinema past McSally to take a roughly 9,600 vote lead, whereas just the night before, it was McSally who led the contest by about 17,000 votes.  After the Thursday night update, roughly 400,000 votes were still to be counted, the bulk of which were in Maricopa, which is leaning toward Sinema this cycle.  It was the Maricopa update which provided the new lead for Sinema.

All The Votes Fit To Count.  According to FairVote there have been 27 contested state elections (recounts) since 2000 and regardless of who had the lead going in Democrats have won all 27.  C'est un miracle!  It would seem that nobody can beat the serial Democrat vote rigging machine; and if you don't believe me, just ask Bernie Sanders.

Comrades! Find your missing ballots!  First, check the trunk of your car, your attic, your neighbor's mailbox, or anyplace else you might have absentmindedly deposited a large number of ballots.  Second, sort through all your missing ballots and weed out any that might have chosen a Republican candidate.  This isn't "voter fraud," this is just making sure that every valid vote is properly counted, and all Republican votes are automatically invalid.  You'll be saving time during the recount and preventing the confusion that comes with too many choices.

No big deal.  They're just stealing an election right in front of our faces.  And brazenly laughing up their sleeves at us while they do it, too.  But why not?  They know they won't be called to account. [...] This is 100-proof, straight-up banana-republic stuff here, folks, the pure, the blushful hippocrene itself of fraud and corruption.  And the Democrat-Socialist criminal conspiracy has been doing it — not just in Flore-duh but right across the nation — for decades.  And getting away with it.

Yes, Democrats Are Trying To Steal The Election In Florida.  Three days after election night, when Gov. Rick Scott delivered a victory speech and held a comfortable margin of votes against Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson, loads of ballots favoring the Democratic candidate mysteriously turned up in Palm Beach and Broward counties — where one official has a history of violating election laws.  State law requires that all early and by-mail votes be tabulated within 30 minutes of the polls closing, but three days later, Broward County Supervisor of Elections Dr. Brenda Snipes still refuses to specify how many people voted, how many ballots have been tabulated, and how many are left to count.  Since Tuesday, 80,000 new votes have mysteriously turned up in Broward County and another 15,000 in Palm Beach County.

Scott Prevails, Judge Orders Broward Election Official to Immediately Release Records.  A Florida judge has ordered Broward County Board of Elections supervisor Brenda Snipes to turn over all records requested by Republican Senate candidate Rick Scott no later than 7 p.m. Friday [11/9/2018].  Scott filed suit against Broward County on Thursday, demanding that Snipes comply with public-records law by revealing the number of mail-in absentee ballots her office has received, as well as how many of those have been counted thus far.

Fire Brenda Snipes.  Brenda Snipes, the supervisor of elections in Florida's Broward County, does not deserve to be within a thousand miles of any election office anywhere in these United States.  She should be fired at the earliest possible opportunity.  Snipes has held her position since 2003, in which year her predecessor, Miriam Oliphant, was suspended for "grave neglect, mismanagement and incompetence" and, quite literally, marched out of her office.  Alas, Snipes has proven no better at fulfilling her duties than was Oliphant.  On Friday, a court in Broward County found that Snipes was guilty of violating both Florida's public-records laws and the state's constitution by failing to provide mandatory updates to the public, and it ordered the immediate release of the missing information.  As that ruling was coming down, Snipes's office was laying out more lawsuit bait.

Sen. Bill Nelson predicts 'we'll win this election' after Florida recounts.  Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., said Saturday that his re-election campaign will be a success after Florida election officials announced a recount in his tight battle against Republican Gov. Rick Scott.  Nelson never conceded the close race Tuesday night when Scott came out with a slim lead.  Nelson said in a statement Saturday that Scott's shrinking election night advantage is indicative of a comeback.  "Since Tuesday, the gap has shrunk from roughly 60,000 votes to about 12,500 — the margin has reduced by 78 percent and is now roughly .15 percent," he said in a statement.  "We believe when every legal ballot is counted we'll win this election."

The Editor says...
It's not the legal ballots we're wondering about, Bill.

Gillum, Nelson teams object to tossing non US citizen voter ballot during PB County vote counting circus.  Attorneys for Senator-elect Rick Scott, the National Republican Senate Committee and the Republican Party of Palm Beach County descended on Palm Beach County's Supervisor of Elections office on Friday night to oversee the vote counting that could decide the outcome of key Florida races.  Democratic candidates Bill Nelson and Andrew Gillum have their own team of attorneys watching the canvassing board closely, looking for anything that could change the result of the elections and snatch the Senate and Gubernatorial wins from exiting Governor Rick Scott and newly elected Governor Ron DeSantis.  Apparently, that includes counting non-U.S. citizens' votes.

Republican Protesters Start 'Lock Her Up' Chant for Florida Election Chief Botching Ballot Count.  Republican protestors have begun chanting "lock her up" outside a Florida elections office as news breaks about how badly Broward County Board of Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes is botching the 2018 election returns.  Election chief Snipes is once again caught up in the middle of controversy as votes in her Democrat stronghold continue to appear seemingly out of thin air as far as protesters are concerned.  A large group of Republican voters have formed to protest the sudden votes appearing days after the legal submission date, according to the Hill.

Trump and Rubio fight Florida election fraud united.  President Trump and Sen. Marco Rubio haven't always been the best of political allies or even friends among Republicans, but for Florida's beleaguered voters, they're coming together to fight for the integrity of their ballots and it couldn't be a bigger relief.  Rubio, for his part, was right on it, fast, real fast, using his Twitter to sounding the alarm about fraud when the first whiff of it from the Broward and Palm Beach county precincts started wafting through the wake of the election result.  This wasn't the tweeting of a mere activist making claims, but a Senator putting it on the line and openly calling fraud.

Florida, again:  A warning about mail-in and early voting.  It's nowhere near as bad as 2000, but the mess in Florida's Broward County is at the very least a cautionary tale about massive mail-in and early voting, with events in Arizona adding to the fire.  As a series of tweets by Sen. Marco Rubio flagged on Thursday, Broward Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes was refusing to report the number of ballots still to be counted, or even to provide regular progress reports.  A judge late Friday [11/9/2018] ruled that she's in violation of the state public records act.  In the past, courts slapped Snipes for illegally destroying ballots in the wake of a contested 2016 vote count for a House seat and again this February for opening mail-in ballots before they'd been authenticated.

Broward County Police Remove Rep. Matt Gaetz from Filming Officials Secretly Loading Boxes In/Out of Office.  Broward County Riot Police removed Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) from filming county officials secretly moving boxes in and out of Broward County election offices.  Matt posted the video at 9:30 on Friday night [11/9/2018].  They must not know Matt is a Congressman!

Bernie Sanders Supporter Adrian Fontes Overseeing Arizona Vote Record as Senate Race Flips.  The man in charge of overseeing the recording of ballots in Arizona's largest county, Maricopa, as ballots are being counted in the very tight Senate race, is facing heat over his very public support of leftist politicians.  Adrian Fontes is the Maricopa County Recorder.  Maricopa is the county with by far the greatest number of votes in the state.  While McSally had been leading in the Arizona Senate election, on Thursday night [11/8/2018] that flipped in favor of Democrat Sinema.

Brenda Snipes Misses Deadline — Won't Turn Over Ballots!  A Judge found Broward County in violation of the Constitution and ordered Brenda Snipes to allow ballot inspections immediately during an emergency hearing on Friday [11/9/2018].  Broward County election supervisor Brenda Snipes must allow inspections on or before 7 PM ET Friday, AP reported.  But Snipes did not turn over the ballots on Friday night!

Democrats' playbook of dirty tricks is getting old, very old...  It's just getting amazingly predictable what they are capable of pulling.  Having lost two or three close elections in Arizona and Florida, all of a sudden, they are "finding" new ballots and attempting to change the outcome.  Just like they did in Florida's 2000 election.  In Arizona, boxes and boxes of uncounted ballots are somehow turning up, quite unlike in the rest of the country where the vote tallies get done and the state moves on, all because the losing candidate, far-left congresswoman and Code Pink activist, Kyrsten Sinema, seems to have narrowly lost to Republican congresswoman and fighter pilot Martha McSally for the vacant Senate seat.

Arizona Senate vote count settlement reached; counties given extension to cure ballots.  Republicans and Democrats in Arizona reached an agreement in court Friday [11/9/2018] that gives all counties in the state until this coming Wednesday to address problems with ballots, as vote tallying for the state's tight Senate race continues.  As of 8:15 p.m. ET Friday, Democratic candidate Kyrsten Sinema led Republican candidate Martha McSally by roughly 20,000 votes statewide, according to the Arizona Secretary of State's Office.  Sinema has received 991,189 votes and McSally 970,986, the office said.

Ballot mixup puts more heat on Broward elections official as key Florida races remain unresolved.  A Florida election supervisor mixed some invalid ballots along with about 200 valid ones, according to a report, in the latest example of what Republicans say has been the incompetent handling of votes as the state braces for a possible recount.  The error was found after Brenda Snipes, a Broward County official who has a long history of controversies involving vote counting, agreed to present 205 provisional ballots to the county's canvassing board for inspection, the Miami Herald reported.

Whoops! Brenda Snipes' office mixed bad provisional ballots with good ones.  Broward's elections supervisor accidentally mixed more than a dozen rejected ballots with nearly 200 valid ones, a circumstance that is unlikely to help Brenda Snipes push back against Republican allegations of incompetence.  The mistake — for which no one had a solution Friday night — was discovered after Snipes agreed to present 205 provisional ballots to the Broward County canvassing board for inspection.  She had initially intended to handle the ballots administratively, but agreed to present them to the canvassing board after Republican attorneys objected.

Trump claims [a] 'big corruption scandal' [is] unfolding in Florida's Broward County.  President Trump waded into the controversy surrounding election results in Florida Thursday night [11/8/2018], backing a state investigation Republican Gov. Rick Scott, a candidate for Senate, announced against Broward County's election supervisor earlier in the evening.

Levin: Why do Democrats 'always manage to pick up votes after the fact?'.  Thursday [11/8/2018] on the radio, LevinTV host Mark Levin alerted listeners to the continued ballot-counting in Florida, which Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, [R], called an attempt by "[D]emocrat lawyers" to steal the election.  Florida law requires counties to report early voting results within 30 minutes after polls close, but Broward and Palm Beach Counties in Florida are still counting and refusing to disclose the number of ballots remaining to be counted, Rubio said.

Rick Scott wins two election lawsuits.  Florida Gov. Rick Scott, the Republican candidate for Senate who currently leads Democratic opponent Sen. Bill Nelson by 15,000 votes, has won his first lawsuit against Palm Beach County Elections Supervisor Susan Bucher.  As ballots in the gubernatorial and Senate races head to a recount, Scott sued Bucher Thursday night for refusing to allow official party and campaign representatives into the ballot counting area, and having staff members determine a voter's intent without review by the county canvassing board.

Woman in Minnesota Receives Broward County Ballot in the Mail.  The Democrats are working around the clock right now to steal the statewide Florida election from Republicans.  A woman who moved to Minnesota five years ago from Florida says she received a ballot from Broward County in the mail.  Minnesota resident, Elisa Sarmento alerted her friend, Scott Presler, a conservative activist that she received a ballot from Broward County.

Hillary's GPS Lawyer Descends on Florida.  This is real election meddling, not the mere purchase of a few Facebook ads by a Russian troll farm.  Just as Team Hillary and the DNC funneled money through Perkins-Coie to buy Russian dirt from a British agent, Marc Elias and his law firm are trying to steal another election and Florida's other senator, Marco Rubio, is justifiably not amused by this continuation of the ongoing deep state coup against President Trump and his agenda.

Florida Official Overseeing Vote Count Destroyed Ballots, Accused of Not Removing Dead Voters from Rolls.  The Florida official put in charge of counting votes in Broward County — the most liberal county in the state — for the gubernatorial and Senate race previously destroyed voter ballots, a judge ruled, and was most recently accused of not removing dead voters from the voter rolls.  Broward County Board of Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes is in charge of vote counting in the area and has yet to disclose how many ballots are still not counted despite the election for governor and Senate occurring two days ago.

Nelson lawyer predicts hand recount in Florida Senate race starting Sunday.  Republican Gov. Rick Scott's lead over Democrat Bill Nelson has narrowed to 15,068 votes out of more than 8 million cast in a race that is likely headed for a hand recount beginning on Sunday, Nelson's lawyer said Friday [11/9/2018].  Nelson, the Senate incumbent who has held the seat since 2000, has refused to concede the race.  His lawyer, Marc Elias, told reporters Friday that the upcoming machine recount of all ballots this weekend will shrink Scott's lead even further and below the 0.25 percent variance that will trigger a hand recount.  The hand recount will show Nelson won the election, he predicted.

Matt Schlapp:  Here's What FL Dems Mean By ' Count Every Vote'.  The midterm battle in Florida is far from over, it seems.  Florida Gov. Rick Scott declared victory Tuesday night over Sen. Bill Nelson (D) and Rep. Ron DeSantis was the declared winner over Democrat Andrew Gillum.  The latter had even conceded, but is now starting to change his mind because officials are insisting there are more ballots to be counted in Broward and Palm Beach counties.  "I'm cynical," said Matt Schlapp, president of the American Conservative Union.  "They're trying to get it below a quarter of a percent to get to hand recount," he explained on Fox News Friday.  The hand counting, he charged, is "very subjective."  They are taking provisional ballots and counting them "even though they're not able to vote," Schlapp said.  "This is crooked, wrong and needs to be stopped."

Florida Governor Rick Scott Discusses Transparent Ballot Fraud Ongoing, Yet Again, In Well Known, Corrupt, Broward County.  Anyone with a reasonable amount of political knowledge is aware that within Florida the epicenter of voter fraud takes place in Broward and Palm Beach counties.  Both of these areas are not just filled with corrupt election officials; as was noted in the background of the Parkland school shooting, every element of county and city government is corrupt.  Broward County Supervisor of Elections, Brenda Snipes, has an exhaustively documented history of rampant and 'in-your-face' unapologetic fraud within the election process.  In the latest example, Snipes is once again producing ballots — filled out by her political operatives — long after the election is over.  Everyone in Florida knows the Snipes routine.

As Florida ballot count battle rages, Democrats are recklessly violating state law.  This looks like a repeat of the actions in Florida in the 2000 presidential election, when Democratic officials ignored state election laws — and were slapped down by the U.S. Supreme Court in a 7-2 decision.  Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda C. Snipes said Tuesday night [11/6/2018] that 634,000 votes had been cast in the county.  But by Thursday night, Snipes was claiming 712,840 ballots had been cast.  The effect of these newly discovered votes that inexplicably appeared long after they should have been counted shrunk the leads of Republicans Gov. Rick Scott in the Senate race and former U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis in the gubernatorial contest.

Rick Scott:  I'm Ordering Law Enforcement To Stop "Unethical Liberals" From Stealing Election.  "I am considering every single legal option available," Rick Scott announced last night [11/8/2018], and he's not kidding around.  The Florida governor whose Senate election bid is being held up in Broward and Palm Beach counties ordered an investigation by state police into the actions of two county election officers, whom Scott accused of flagrantly violating state election laws in the conduct of their ballot counting.  Scott also announced a lawsuit to force both counties into compliance while accusing officials of "rampant fraud": [Video clip]

Broward County Is An Embarrassment, And The Potential For A Stolen Florida Election Is Real.  Last night [10/8/2018] CBS News' John Dickerson tweeted "The Florida voting system is the Florida Man of voting systems." But at least Florida Man combines stupid fun entertainment with incompetence and hubris, as opposed to depressing levels of corruption and idiocy.  Comes now Dr. Brenda C. Snipes, the key election official in Broward County, Florida has presided for the past 72 hours over a level of bureaucratic incompetence — in the best spin of the situation — or utter corruption in the worst when it comes to counting the ballots from her county.  Last night Governor and would-be Senator Rick Scott announced he was filing a lawsuit against her — not one claiming anything about the ballots being counted, but simply demanding that she live up to the regulatory obligation to tell us how many ballots there are.

Florida:  The Amazing Disappearing Leads.  When the voting was over Tuesday Republican Ron DeSantis held a one-point lead over Democrat Andrew Gillum in the governor's race.  Republican challenger Rick Scott held a smaller lead over incumbent Democrat U.S, Senator Bill Nelson.  Since then, with all manner of new votes to be counted being discovered, the leads of these two Republicans have diminished, putting both races into at least the less than one half of one percent levels that requires a machine recount.

Florida teacher finds 'provisional ballot box' in storage area.  A teacher in Florida found a container labeled "Provisional Ballot Box" in a storage area of her elementary school on Thursday [11/8/2018].  Lakeisha Williams, of Broward County, said she discovered the ballot box two days after Election Day at Miramar Elementary School — where it was apparently left behind by election workers.  "I went into the area that we use for storage and saw it in there," Williams told The [New York] Post.

Florida Elections Worker:  "I Was Fired For Witnessing Possible Absentee Ballot Fraud".  Broward County, Florida, home of the now infamous "hanging chad" fiasco during the 2000 showdown between George Bush and Al Gore, may be on the verge of yet another controversial election cycle.  Historically a democrat stronghold, Broward County always comes under extra scrutiny during presidential elections as it can single-highhandedly swing the entire state of Florida in one direction or another.

Hillary's Lawyer Leading Democrat Charge to Protect Massive Voter Fraud?  Marc Elias is a partner at Perkins Coie law firm and he is the man who paid Fusion GPS for the fake Russia dossier on behalf of Hillary Clinton's campaign and her DNC.  He is now leading the charge to protect the seemingly corrupt voting in Broward County and Palm Beach County in Florida.  He is being brought in by Bill Nelson, the do-nothing Democrat who won't accept the election results.  Both counties are hot Democrat strongholds and they are still counting ballots two days, going on three days, after the polls closed.  Senator Rubio is pointing the finger at the sketchy elections supervisor Brenda Snipes.

Abrams Declares War on Arithmetic.  Stacey Abrams, the Democratic candidate in Georgia's gubernatorial election, has an adversarial relationship with arithmetic.  This antipathy to math has long bedeviled her with regard to unpaid taxes as well as delinquent student loans, and it is now preventing her from seeing that it is mathematically impossible for her to become the Peach State's next governor.

GOP Senate candidate Rick Scott files bombshell lawsuits accusing Dem Florida election officials of trying to 'steal the election'.  Accusing Democrats of conducting a coordinated effort to "steal" elections in a campaign of possibly "rampant fraud," Republican Senate candidate Rick Scott filed explosive lawsuits late Thursday against the top election officials in two heavily Democratic counties, as they continue to report new votes and three major races in the state appear headed for recounts.  In their lawsuit against Broward County, Scott and the National Republican Senatorial Committeee (NRSC) allege that officials there are hiding critical information about the number of votes cast and counted.  And in a parallel suit against Palm Beach County, Scott and the NRSC charge that the election supervisor there illegally used her own judgment to determine voter intent when reviewing damaged or incorrectly filled-out absentee ballots, while refusing to allow impartial witnesses to monitor the process.

Legal Battle Emerges as Arizona Senate Vote Count Drags On.  Republican groups in Arizona have filed suit against several of the state's county recorders and the secretary of state arguing that different standards are being applied to the counting of some mail-in ballots that were dropped off at polling locations.  According to the Arizona Republic, the suit was filed late Wednesday at a point when GOP candidate Martha McSally had a lead of about 17,00 votes against Democratic candidate Kyrsten Sinema.  At the same time, there were varying estimates of about 650,000 votes yet to be counted statewide.  The two congresswomen are running to fill the seat vacated by the retirement of Republican senator Jeff Flake.

Broward County Election Officials Trying to Steal Election — Produce Thousands of Ballots 43 Hrs After Polls Closed.  Broward County and Palm Beach County in Florida, both Democrat strongholds are still counting ballots 43 hours after the polls closed.  Florida is once again bracing for recounts — this time there are no 'hanging chads,' but Democrat lawyers are descending on the State to steal the election.

With Arizona Senate seat at stake, Republicans sue county recorders.  With the U.S. Senate seat hanging in the balance, the Yuma, Navajo, Apache and Maricopa County Republican parties filed a lawsuit against all Arizona county recorders and the Secretary of State late Wednesday [11/7/2018].  A telephone hearing was scheduled for 11:15 a.m.  Thursday in Maricopa County Superior Court.  The Republican groups are challenging the way counties verify signatures on mail-in ballots that are dropped off at the polls on Election Day, according to the complaint obtained by The Arizona Republic.

Rubio Charges Electoral Malfeasance in Democratic Florida Counties, Says Lawyers Trying to 'Steal' Races.  Sen. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.) called attention Thursday to what he said are voting law violations by Democratic-leaning counties in the razor-thin gubernatorial and senatorial races in Florida, claiming on Twitter that partisan lawyers are trying to steal those contests.  Palm Beach and Broward Counties, both heavily Democratic, are still counting votes in the governor's race between Democrat Andrew Gillum and Republican Ron DeSantis, as well as the U.S. Senate race between Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson and Rick Scott, the state's Republican governor.  In a series of tweets, Rubio appeared to charge that votes were being held back in a tactical fashion by Broward officials.

Pollsters botch key races as turnout models over-count Democrats.  Pollsters on Tuesday [11/6/2018] avoided their disastrous 2016 election forecasts by correctly predicting that Democrats would regain control of the House, though botching some important statewide races.  Unlike 2016, when political gurus at The New York Times, The Washington Post and other media said President Trump had little or no chance of winning, surveyors this time captured voting in blue-state congressional districts where a number of Republican seats flipped.  But pollsters did not fully redeem themselves for the sins of 2016 when they collectively botched Trump wins in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

Andrew Gillum waffles on concession in Florida governor's race.  Democratic legal teams kicked into action Thursday, demanding a recount of the Florida Senate race that they say will declare Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson the winner as defeated Democratic gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum hedging his concession.  Mr. Nelson already had signaled his intention to fight the results in his race with Republican Gov. Rick Scott, but Mr. Gillum's surprise announcement further roils the electoral waters in the Sunshine State.

Voter Fraud Allegedly Found In Deep Blue Florida County.  Over 100 provisional ballots were rejected in Miami-Dade County on Thursday after election officials said that those people showed up to vote a second time in the same election, according to a local media reporter.  The news comes as Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) claimed earlier in the day that the Democrats and Florida election officials with questionable records were trying to "steal" the election in Broward County, which is just north of Miami-Dade County.  Miami-Dade County is one of the bluest counties in the state of Florida, as nearly two-thirds of the county voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election.

Rubio: Broward County Officials And Dems Trying To Steal Rick Scott's Victory In Senate.  Now that the Broward County election officials have delayed their reporting of ballots for almost two days after the election, Florida Sen. Marco Rubio has been furiously denouncing them on Twitter, writing that they are trying to steal victories from GOP candidates who won in the state.

Here are some more ballots!
Broward Elementary Teacher Finds Box Labeled "Provisional Ballots" Left Behind After Election Day.  Florida voter JoAnn Knox captured Broward County Election Officials transferring ballots in [a] rented truck on election night!  "This violates all chain of custody requirements for paper ballots," argues Independent Congressional candidate for Florida's 23rd District, Tim Canova.  They were transferring ballots around without any security officials in sight!  One of the women moving ballot boxes even asked the witness to help them!


Democratic 'army of lawyers' heads to Florida amid GOP fears of bid to 'steal' Senate seat.  Democrats are gearing up for a titanic legal fight over what could be multiple recounts in the state of Florida — 18 years after the state's ramshackle voting system delayed the election of President George W. Bush for 37 days.  In the balance are the governor's mansion and one U.S. Senate seat, which Republicans believe they had secured on Tuesday.  Just 17,429 out of 8,165,741 votes cast in the Senate race separate the GOP's Gov. Rick Scott, who is leading, from Sen. Bill Nelson, the Democratic incumbent.  In the governor's race, Ron DeSantis, a former GOP congressman, leads Andrew Gillum, the Democrat, by 38,600 votes out of 8,200,905 votes cast.

Broken voting machines, long lines under scrutiny in Georgia.  Malfunctioning voting machines, missing power cords and hours[-]long lines at the polls are being scrutinized by candidates and election officials in Georgia, where the governor's race is undecided while votes are still being tallied.

DACA illegals voting in Texas?  O'Keefe's Project Veritas has a disturbing video.  There hasn't been too much in the way of contested elections based on claims of voter fraud in the Trump era, but hotly contested Texas is an exception.

Texas Poll Worker Tells Undercover Reporter They've Allowed 'Tons' Of DACA Recipients To Vote.  James O'Keefe's Project Veritas released an undercover sting video on Tuesday from a polling station in Texas that appears to show an election official saying that they've had 'tons' of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients voting in the election.  Project Veritas' undercover journalist, posing as the girlfriend of a potential DACA voter, visited a polling station in Travis County, Texas to ask election officials if he could vote.  "If he has his ID that's all he needs.  If he's registered," an election worker told the undercover journalist.

Video: Poll worker caught advising 'Vote Democrat'.  A poll worker in Georgia was captured on video telling an undercover journalist posing as a voter that he should vote Democrat, because the party has "a better platform."

Texas governor considers probe of 'illegal-alien voting'.  Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, who won re-election Tuesday [11/6/2018], called for an investigation into alleged illegal voting after Project Veritas published a video showing poll workers in Texas saying non-citizens could vote and admitting "tons" already had done so in early voting.

This Florida funeral home provided free limo rides to the polls.  One Florida funeral home provided free limo rides to residents trying to get to their polling locations.  David Hawkins, the director at Joe Morris and Sons Funeral Home, said the gesture has a history.  "Black funeral homes, traditionally, dating all the way back to the 1960s during the civil rights movement, have been very active in getting people out to vote, and making sure that they had transportation," said Hawkins.

Lawsuit: 100,000 noncitizens registered to vote in Pennsylvania.  More than 100,000 noncitizens are registered to vote in Pennsylvania alone, according to testimony submitted Monday [11/5/2018] in a lawsuit demanding the state come clean about the extent of its problems.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation, which has identified similar noncitizen voting problems in studies of Virginia and New Jersey, said Pennsylvania officials have admitted noncitizens have been registering and voting in the state "for decades."  But state officials have stonewalled PILF requests for access to the data that could expose the problem, the group says in a lawsuit filed in federal court in Harrisburg.

Elections 2018: N.J. voters report problems, big lines at the polls.  New Jersey voters have been heading to the polls in full force Tuesday [11/6/2018] with reports of long lines at some locations and scattered problems with casting ballots.  The most common issues so far involve the change in mail-in ballots, polling machines not working and voters being turned away or being forced to use provisional ballots.  Voters at one polling location found the doors locked at 6 a.m. when voting started.

Voting rights restored for nearly 1.5M felons in Florida.  More than a million convicted felons in Florida had their voting rights restored Tuesday [11/6/2018].  Constitutional Amendment 4 — known as the Voting Restoration Amendment — was passed in the state, allowing nearly 1.5 million convicted felons who've served out their sentence to vote.  The measure doesn't apply to anyone convicted of murder and felony sex offenses.

Veiled threat
Dems' Creepy Door Hangers In PA-01 Threaten Voters.  Last minute electioneering tricks are nothing new, so perhaps this particular maneuver won't come as too much of a shock to our more jaded observers.  Supporters of Democratic candidate Scott Wallace in Pennsylvania's First District have been going house to house and leaving some door hangers reminding people to vote.  Nothing wrong with that message, of course, but these particular pieces are being described as Orwellian because of the implied threat they contain.  Rather than simply saying you should get out and vote, the hangers have a cheerful message reminding the resident that records of whether or not you voted are public.


Kemp's office launches probe of Georgia Democratic Party days before historic election.  Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp set off a political firestorm when his office, two days before an election in which he is a candidate, announced on Sunday morning that it had opened an investigation into the Georgia Democratic Party in connection with what it described as an attempted hack of the state's voter registration system.  But that initial advisory lacked key details about how Kemp's office was made aware of potential security vulnerabilities in the state's electronic voter information page, which the secretary of state oversees.

Abrams' foe Kemp announces probe into Georgia Democratic Party for 'possible cyber crimes' days before election.  Republican Brian Kemp, Georgia's secretary of state, is investigating the state's Democratic Party for "possible cyber crimes" related to an alleged attempted hack on state voting infrastructure, his office announced Sunday, throwing a seismic wrench into Kemp's neck-and-neck gubernatorial race against Democrat Stacey Abrams with less than 48 hours to go before Election Day.  "Federal partners" — including the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI — also have been notified about the "failed attempt to hack the state's voter registration system" as of Saturday night, Kemp's office said.

Why Do Democrats Pretend Voter Fraud Doesn't Exist?  Texas State Attorney General Ken Paxton decided to crack down on voter fraud before the midterm elections.  So far, he's prosecuted 33 people for 97 counts of voter fraud this year alone.  Among the discoveries was a voter fraud ring that had received financial support from the former head of the Texas Democratic Party.  Pennsylvania let thousands of noncitizens register to vote, many of whom have since voted, according to reporter John Fund, who has been following this issue for years.  The Heritage Foundation has a database that now includes 1,165 cases of election fraud across 47 states.  More than 1,000 of them resulted in criminal convictions.

Secretary of State's office:  Investigation underway into failed hack by Democratic Party of Georgia.  The Georgia Secretary of State's Office says it is investigating a failed attempt to hack the state's voter registration system by the Democratic Party of Georgia, the office said in a news release.  The state has not said what evidence they have that a hack occurred.  "While we cannot comment on the specifics of an ongoing investigation, I can confirm that the Democratic Party of Georgia is under investigation for possible cyber crimes," said secretary of state office press secretary Candice Broce.  "We can also confirm that no personal data was breached and our system remains secure."

UW Issues Voting ID Card To Non-Citizen.  The University of Wisconsin Madison is making a big GOTV push this year.  In addition to hosting three early voting sites and putting extra resources into providing students with the documentation they need to register and vote — all students.  The two key documents are proof of residence and a photo ID.  The university is making it as easy as possible to get these documents.  All students can print off a "Voter Eligibility Verification Letter" simply by going to their online university account.  The process is automatic and instant.

Aliens and Apportionment.  [Scroll down]  As for those illegally living in "sanctuary" cities or states, if the government can find me — the IRS has never had any trouble doing so — I want ICE to find those living in the shadows.  And to make good policy it would be nice if we knew how many illegal aliens are here.  Recently, the number estimated to be here has risen from 11 million to 22 million, according to a Yale study, with a range of 16.5 to 29.5 million.  The presence of illegal immigrants — at least, those who live out of the shadows — affects the decennial apportionment of seats in the House of Representatives.  This holds true even if they do not vote.  In 2000, there were an estimated 18 million non-citizens resident in the U.S. (this includes those legally present here but not citizens); of these, 70 percent lived in six states, and 50 percent in three (California, Texas, and Florida).  The 18 million then represented, at 650,000, nearly 29 Congressional seats.

Millennials Explain Why They're Not Voting: 'I Hate Mailing Stuff.  It Gives Me Anxiety.'.  When the Intelligencer set out to find out why Millennials aren't voting in the 2018 midterm elections, they probably expected to learn that the Democratic and Republican Parties are equally unappealing, or that not everyone is lucky enough to be able to vote for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.  What they probably didn't expect to discover was that Millennials are equal parts lazy and apathetic, and will take any excuse to avoid doing their civic duty.  In an article published Tuesday, apparently the culmination of months of interviews with select Millennials who don't plan on voting in the midterms, 12 "young people" described the hassle of voting, the difficulty of mailing envelopes, the problems inherent in online voter registration, and, of course, the violence inherent in the "system."

Paper Is Big Again, at Least for Elections.  These States Don't Have It.  Just days before a pivotal midterm congressional election, dozens of jurisdictions around the country go to polls without a paper backup for electronic voting systems.  The shortfall comes despite nearly two years of warnings from cybersecurity experts that in the absence of a paper backup system, voters' intentions cannot be verified in case of a cyberattack that alters election databases.  Fourteen states will conduct the midterm elections where voters will register their choices in an electronic form but will not leave behind any paper trail that could be used to audit and verify the outcome.

San Francisco to Allow Illegal Aliens to Vote.  In July, the Department of Elections issued voter registration forms to illegal aliens to vote for members of the San Francisco Board of Education in the 2018 election, reported ABC7 News.  Now that the illegals are registered and ready, they will be voting in November.

Texas: Ex-Democrat Leader Allegedly Funded Voter Fraud.  Voter fraud doesn't exist, insists the political movement that profits from it.  Any attempt to fight voter fraud is voter suppression, shout the radicals who use fraud to suppress other people's votes by literally stealing them.  It's an imaginary problem, they say.

Democratic Party Official, Immigrants Nailed for Organized Voter Fraud in Texas.  Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Friday [10/26/2018] officially reported that four suspects were indicted on numerous felony counts of voter fraud.  The suspects were arrested during the ongoing investigation by the Election Fraud Unit of Paxton's office.  However, Democrats are not celebrating such arrests calling the case an example of overzealous police work.  Paxton has been charging a record number of people with committing voter fraud, an effort his critics condemn as a law enforcement campaign to discourage minority voters from casting ballots.  "The truth is that the attorney general's office is only trying to discourage non-citizens from voting," said former prosecuting attorney Charles Simpson.

Former Dem Leader in Texas Implicated in Organized Voter Fraud Ring, AG Says.  A former Democratic Party leader in Texas funded an "organized voter fraud ring" in Fort Worth with money he received from campaigns, state officials claim.  Earlier this month, four women were arrested and indicted on nearly thirty felony counts of voter fraud:  Leticia Sanchez; her daughter, Leticia Sanchez Tepichin; Rosa Solis; and Laura Parra.  The state's notice of intent in Leticia Sanchez's criminal case states that "Sanchez engaged in organized criminal activity in collaboration with her three co-defendants" and Stuart Clegg, the former executive director for the Tarrant County Democratic Party.

SF spends $300,000 to register noncitizen voters — a whopping 49 sign up.  San Francisco's effort to get noncitizen parents to the ballot box is pretty much a bust the first time out, with only 49 signing up to vote in the Nov. 6 election.  Back in July, the city began registering noncitizens — including undocumented immigrants — to vote in school board elections.  The program is the first-of-its-kind in California and followed passage of a 2016 San Francisco ballot measure opening school elections to noncitizens who are over the age of 18, city residents and have children under age 19.  The city spent about $310,000 setting up the new registration system and encouraging people to sign up.

Texas voters casting early ballots claim voting machines are switching their ballot choices.  Voters casting their ballots early in Texas claimed this week that when casting Democratic or Republican straight-ticket ballots, voting machines in at least 80 counties in the Lone Star State flipped their votes to the other party in key midterm races, including the high-profile competition between incumbent Sen. Ted Cruz and his Democratic opponent Beto O'Rourke.  The Texas secretary of state's office on Friday [10/26/2018] said that there have been issues reported with Hart eSlate voting machines, which are used in approximately 30 percent of counties statewide.  The machines feature a wheel for selecting candidates and buttons to move from screen to screen.  But the secretary of state's office said the issues were not caused by the voting machines, but by voters themselves.

Texas: Early Voters Claim Voting Machines Altering Their Ballots.  Well, this has been going on for some time and should not come as a surprise seeing that under testimony, we know that electronic voting can be manipulated and it can be done in such a way as so that no one knows it is even happening.  However, as early voters in Texas are discovering, some altering is taking place right before their eyes just like it did in 2016.  In Texas, the hotly watched contest between incumbent Ted Cruz and Democrat Beto O'Rourke is at the center of the voting.  Texans are claiming that their straight-ticket voting is being flipped to the other party in this key race and others.

Democrat Party Leader Funded Voter Fraud Ring in Texas.  Four Democrats were arrested and charges with running a voter fraud ring targeting senior citizens in Tarrant County near Dallas.  The Democrats were stealing votes from elderly citizens on Fort Worth's north side.

Texas election officials report complaints from voters who say machines flipped votes.  Texas voters:  Take your time when casting ballots.  This advice comes as state election officials receive complaints across the state from early voters casting straight tickets on Hart eSlate machines who believe the machines changed their votes.  Two complaints, reported through a third party, have been made in Tarrant County, said Heider Garcia, elections administrator.  "We have ... tested everything," he said.  "We don't have any indication that there's a technical issue."

Voter fraud exists, even though many in the media claim it doesn't.  President Trump warned on Twitter last week that law enforcement would be looking for "voter fraud" in the midterm elections.  Many journalists quickly responded — as they always do — by dismissing the very existence of voter fraud.  CNN's Jim Acosta tweeted "voter fraud in this country is actually very rare."  Glenn Thrush of The New York Times claimed:  "there is essentially no voter fraud in this country."  He instead asked, "Will the (Justice Department) Civil Rights division prevent/investigate a real threat-voter suppression?"  Journalists have credulously repeated unsupported, patronizing claims that in Georgia and other states, voter registration and absentee ballot laws somehow suppress minority votes.

Washington State's ridiculous 'vote boxes' degrade the franchise for everyone.  When [the Democrats] attack our duly elected officials and the Constitution, they are personally attacking you for your measured and thoughtful choices.  Their most egregious trick may yet occur when the next band of illegals arrives at our southern border.  Will the Democratic Party's tainted ethos arrange for these people to acquire motor voter cards along with food stamps and housing vouchers?  Americans are convinced that the Democrats are behind those male-populated mobs marching northward, just as they were during President Obama's blatant emigrant invitation in 2014, when the emigrant trains traveled through Central America to our borders.  Does anyone know how many were allowed in?  Will the new wave be here in time for the midterms?

Former Democratic Party leader paid women in alleged Tarrant voter fraud ring, AG says.  A Fort Worth woman recently indicted on voter fraud charges paid others involved in the scheme with funds provided by a former Tarrant County Democratic Party leader, court documents filed this week say.  After learning about a state investigation, Leticia Sanchez — one of four women arrested and indicted on voter fraud charges — allegedly directed her daughter to send a text message to others in the scheme, urging them not to cooperate with investigators, state officials say.

L.A. Metro will offer free rides on buses and trains on election day.  In an effort to boost Los Angeles County's historically poor voter turnout, Metropolitan Transportation Authority officials agreed Thursday [10/25/2018] to offer free fares on the sprawling bus and rail system on election day.  On Nov. 6, rides on Metro's six rail lines and 2,200 buses will be free from 12:01 a.m. to 11:59 p.m.  Eliminating the $1.75 fare for a day will cost the agency an estimated $600,000, officials said.

The Editor says...
Almost everyone living in poverty is poor for a reason, or for a series of reasons — typically a lifetime of bad decisions and regrettable actions.  Moreover, poor people are most likely to be completely dependent on Big Government.  They should not be encouraged to vote, nor should they be given a free ride to the polls.

Who's Counting Our Paper Ballots?  Places like Georgia which do not have paper ballots are not democracies.  They are letting themselves be run by hackers, not voters.  Hackers can choose the "elected" officials, undetectably.  However states with paper ballots have a false sense of security.  Like paperless states, they report results from election machines, but they don't test whether machines were hacked, and they rarely tally the paper.  Paper ballots protect us only if we have practical ways to tally them.  Assurances that no one has found a hack ring hollow when people rarely look.  Computer hacking of elections goes back at least 24 years to the election which put Nelson Mandela in office.  That was hand-counted, but the computer summation of thousands of hand tallies was hacked and had to be redone independently.  In the US, hand-counting 100 million ballots will be a nightmare if a widespread hack is noticed and changes winners all over the country.  Hand-counting is slow and costs $1 to $7 per ballot, depending on the design and number of contests on the ballot.

Andrew Gillum's Family Under Investigation; May Have Engaged in Voter Fraud.  Less than a year before gubernatorial candidate Andrew Gillum publicly denounced President Donald Trump's efforts to investigate the threat of voter fraud, Gillum's brother, Marcus Gillum, voted in the 2016 general election in Tallahassee, Florida while a resident of Chicago, Illinois.  According to Florida law, you must be a legal resident in Florida to vote in elections.  Casting an illegal vote in Florida is a third-degree felony.

Texas Democrats Registering Non-Citizens to Vote:  Lawsuit.  Texas Democrats have been accused of asking non-citizens to register and vote according to complaints filed with state and federal officials, even going so far as to send out applications with the citizenship box pre-marked 'Yes.'  District attorneys and the Justice Department were notified about the applications by the Public Interest Legal Foundation.  The group also forwarded a signed affidavit from one individual who said a number of people, who are non-citizens, received the mailing.  Logan Churchwell, a spokesman for the group dedicated to securing the integrity of elections, told the Washington Times, "This is how the Texas Democratic Party is inviting foreign influence in an election in a federal election cycle."

Texas Democrats [are] asking non-citizens to vote.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation has alerted the Justice Department to a gambit by Texas Democrats to get non-citizens to vote.  The state party sent out a voter registration form asking non-citizens to sign up, with the citizenship box already checked "yes." [...] This is an open invitation for voter fraud on a large scale, and the way the Democrats went about it defies belief: [...] How many other state Democratic Parties send out similar requests to non-citizens and haven't been caught?  Are we to believe that one party in one state came up with this idea all on its own?

Texas Dems ask noncitizens to register to vote, send applications with citizenship box pre-checked.  The Texas Democratic Party asked non-citizens to register to vote, sending out applications to immigrants with the box citizenship already checked "Yes," according to new complaints filed Thursday asking prosecutors to see what laws may have been broken.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation alerted district attorneys and the federal Justice Department to the pre-checked applications, and also included a signed affidavit from a man who said some of his relatives, who aren't citizens, received the mailing.  "This is how the Texas Democratic Party is inviting foreign influence in an election in a federal election cycle," said Logan Churchwell, spokesman for the PILF, a group that's made its mark policing states' voter registration practices.

Paid Democratic Voter Fraud Ring Uncovered In Texas.  Despite being constantly assured by Democrats and most of the mainstream media (but I repeat myself) that voter fraud doesn't really happen, these nagging stories seem to keep popping up.  This one, picked up by CBS News in Dallas, is a doozy.  Four women have been charged with felonies in Fort Worth after the discovery that they were intercepting ballots, primarily intended for elderly voters, and filling them out themselves before trying to trick the intended voters into signing them.  And it's not just a few ballots either.

Four women in 'voter fraud ring' arrested.  Members of an organized voter fraud ring have been arrested and indicted on charges they targeted and, in one case stole, the votes of elderly voters on the city's north side.  Four people were arrested — Leticia Sanchez, Leticia Sanchez Tepichin, Maria Solis and Laura Parra — after being indicted on 30 felony counts of voter fraud, according to a statement from the Texas Attorney General's Office.  These people allegedly were paid to target older voters on the north side "in a scheme to generate a large number of mail ballots and then harvest those ballots for specific candidates in 2016," the statement read.

Colorado seen as model for election security.  With less than three weeks until the midterm elections, many Americans are still concerned about the integrity of the country's voting systems.  According the Department of Homeland Security, the only system successfully breached by Russian government actors in 2016 was Illinois' voter registration system.  "Although no votes were changed," Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen said, "we saw without question that Russian government cyber actors were actively seeking vulnerabilities and access to our election infrastructure.  We assume ... that Russia's campaign probably targeted all 50 states."

U.S. Has 3.5 Million More Registered Voters Than Live Adults — A Red Flag For Electoral Fraud.  American democracy has a problem — a voting problem.  According to a new study of U.S. Census data, America has more registered voters than actual live voters.  It's a troubling fact that puts our nation's future in peril.  The data come from Judicial Watch's Election Integrity Project.  The group looked at data from 2011 to 2015 produced by the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey, along with data from the federal Election Assistance Commission.  As reported by the National Review's Deroy Murdock, who did some numbers-crunching of his own, "some 3.5 million more people are registered to vote in the U.S. than are alive among America's adult citizens.  Such staggering inaccuracy is an engraved invitation to voter fraud."

Democratic Governor Candidate:  Illegals Part Of November 'Blue Wave'.  Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams said this week that illegal aliens will be part of the Democratic Party's "blue wave" in the upcoming midterm elections.  Abrams made the remark while campaigning with Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) on Tuesday at the Clayton County campaign office, the Free Beacon reported.  "The thing of it is, the blue wave is African American.  It is white.  It is Latino.  It is Asian-Pacific Islander," Abrams said.  "It is made up of those who've been told that they are not worthy of being here.  It is comprised of those who are documented and undocumented."

Voter Fraud Is Real. Here's The Proof.  In Colorado, multiple instances were found of dead people attempting to vote.  Stunningly, "a woman named Sara Sosa who died in 2009 cast ballots in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013."  In Virginia, it was found that nearly 20 voter applications were turned in under the names of dead people.  In Texas, authorities are investigating criminals who are using the technique of "vote harvesting" to illegally procure votes for their candidates.  "Harvesting" is the practice of illegally obtaining the signatures of valid voters in order to vote in their name without their consent for the candidate(s) the criminal supports.  These are just some instances of voter fraud we know about.  It would be silly to assume cases that have been discovered are the only cases of fraud.

Four Women Indicted in North Texas Voter Fraud Ring.  Four women who are accused of targeting elderly voters in 2016 were indicted on 30 felony counts of voter fraud and arrested following an investigation by the office of the Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.  The defendants were members of an organized voter fraud ring and were paid to target elderly voters in certain northern Fort Worth precincts in a scheme to generate large numbers of mail ballots, then harvest those ballots for specific candidates, the office's news release said.  The Attorney General's Office did not reveal what candidates paid for the effort.

Four Members of an Organized Voter Fraud Ring Stole Dem Party Ballots.  Four women are accused of stealing ballots for the Democrat Party in 2016.  They targeted elderly voters' ballots and were indicted on 30 felony counts of voter fraud.  Police arrested them following an investigation by the office of the Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, the Star Telegram reports.  They were part of an organized voter fraud ring and were paid by someone(s) to target elderly voters in northern Fort Worth.  The purpose was to generate and harvest the ballots for specific Democrat candidates.

Georgia's Democratic Candidate For Governor Implies Illegal Immigrants Will Vote For Democrats.  Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams said the alleged "blue wave" Democrats are expecting in the 2018 midterm elections is filled with "documented and undocumented" voters.  "The thing of it is, the blue wave is African American.  It is white.  It is Latino.  It is Asian-Pacific Islander," Abrams said at a Clayton County campaign office Tuesday in a video obtained by The Washington Free Beacon.  "It is made up of those who've been told that they are not worthy of being here.  It is comprised of those who are documented and undocumented."

Layered on top of previous mistakes, California's DMV finds an additional 1,500 people wrongly registered to vote under new system.  Randall Marquis has lived in California for 31 years, but he knew it was a mistake when he received a notice last month that said he was newly registered to vote.  He may have a state driver's license, but he's a citizen of Canada. [...] The Newport Beach resident, who has a green card and is married to a U.S. citizen, was one of some 1,500 people who the California Department of Motor Vehicles said on Monday [10/8/2018] were wrongly registered to vote between late April and late September.  These errors, which included other non-citizens, are in addition to the roughly 23,000 registration mistakes disclosed by the DMV last month.

The Editor says...
Was that really a mistake, or is it just an inevitable and completely predictable byproduct of registering everybody to vote?

In Georgia, a legal battle over electronic vs. paper voting.  Logan Lamb, a cybersecurity sleuth, thought he was conducting an innocuous Google search to pull up information on Georgia's centralized system for conducting elections.  He was taken aback when the query turned up a file with a list of voters and then alarmed when a subsequent simple data pull retrieved the birth dates, drivers' license numbers and partial Social Security numbers of more than 6 million voters, as well as county election supervisors' passwords for use on Election Day.  He also discovered the server had a software flaw that an attacker could exploit to take control of the machine.

Wisconsin Officials Prepare for Potential Election Hackers.  A private vendor inadvertently introduces malware into voting machines he is servicing.  A hacker hijacks the cellular modem used to transmit unofficial Election Day results.

Treat Brett Kavanaugh as good as illegal alien criminals.  Why is Kavanaugh, against whom there is no evidence, treated like the world's worst person, while the powers that be in these hopelessly corrupt blue districts bend over backward trying to shield Third World fiends from being brought to justice for their savage crimes against females?  Is it because they're future, if not present, Democrat voters?  The vast majority of them are on one form of welfare or another, they're not married to the women they impregnate (so they won't be on the hook for child support), they live totally on the arm — no insurance, no driver's licenses, no responsibility for anything whatsoever.  In other words, undocumented Democrats.  American taxpayers pick up the tab for these layabout career criminals' lawyers when they get arrested over and over, as well as their translators, and the court psychologists to say that they can't be held accountable for their crimes since they come from such primitive backgrounds.

Texas Voter Rolls Grow to 15.6M Ahead of Midterm Election.  Texas has set a new voter registration record of 15.6 million people ahead of the highly anticipated Senate race between Republican Sen. Ted Cruz and Democratic Rep. Beto O'Rourke.

W. Virginia's Decision to Allow Smartphone Voting for Midterms Raises Serious Security Concerns.  For the first time in our nation's history, voters in 24 counties in W. Virginia will be able to vote using their mobile phones.  While some are hailing the decision because it will make voting easier for members of the military deployed overseas, experts are warning of possible security breaches.

House votes to admonish communities that allow noncitizens to vote in local elections.  The House voted Wednesday [9/26/2018] to go on record admonishing communities, such as San Francisco, that now allow immigrants who live in the U.S. illegally to cast ballots in local elections, calling it another way some localities are undermining federal immigration policies.  The 279-72 vote saw 49 Democrats join with nearly every Republican to protest the growing movement to expand the vote.  Sixty-nine Democrats declined to take a stand, voting "present."  The non-binding resolution does not force any changes, but did put lawmakers on record.

Nation's Largest Jail System To Host Voter Registration Event For 'Justice-Involved' Inmates.  Los Angeles County officials have organized a special event on Tuesday, National Voter Registration Day, targeting eligible inmates inside a downtown jail.  It's part of a government-ordered effort "to register as many justice-involved County residents as possible in advance of the November 2018 election."  County agencies leading a "voter engagement task force" have been working with the ACLU, anti-incarceration groups, and the L.A. County Sheriff's Department, which operates seven custody centers that make up the nation's largest jail system.  The campaign, called "L.A. Free the Vote," was created "to strategize and guide voter registration efforts for justice-involved residents."

Illinois Democrat Party Leader Tells Voters:  "Vote Early, Vote Often.  Whatever You Can Get Away With".  The St. Clair County Democrats held a rally recently [9/15/2018] in Caseyville to promote Democrat politicians.  The St. Clair Democrat leader told the rally to "vote early and often.  Whatever you can get away with."  [Video clip]

Mexican National Faces Deportation After Pleading Guilty to Voter Fraud in Texas.  Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced that a Mexican national pleaded guilty Thursday [9/13/2018] to voter fraud in three elections, including one for president in 2016 and will eventually be deported.  Laura Janeth Garza, 38, a Mexican citizen, pleaded guilty to voter fraud charges of voter impersonation and ineligible voting, both second-degree felonies.  Garza was sentenced in Montgomery County Court to 10 years in jail and a $10,000 fine.  She will be deported after serving her jail time, according to the Attorney General's office.

California DMV Gives Illegal Voters a Surge.  Last week California's Department of Motor Vehicles sent 23,000 "erroneous" voter registrations to the office of Secretary of State Alex Padilla, who maintains the list of registered voters.  The DMV blamed it technical errors and said none of the erroneous registrations involved undocumented immigrants.  Padilla was "extremely disappointed and deeply frustrated" and the DMV assured him it wouldn't happen again.  Legitimate voters have good reason to believe Padilla was not disappointed but delighted.  The odds are strong that illegals make up most if not all of the newly registered voters.  The registrations of illegals will be happening again, in greater numbers, as the November election approaches.  The day after the 23,000 registrations made news, it emerged that from late April to early August, the DMV registered 182,000 "new voters," with the largest number, 112,000, choosing "no party."  Neither the DMV nor Padilla would explain the numbers but the trend is evident and all by design.

Mo Brooks:  Likely 15M Illegal Aliens in U.S., Giving Blue States 20 Additional Congressional Seats.  Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) says the counting of illegal aliens when dividing up congressional seats and electoral college votes is a violation of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution.  Brooks, along with the state of Alabama, are suing the federal government for their counting of illegal aliens, rather than citizens, in congressional apportionment and the dividing up of electoral college votes.

San Fran Green Lights Illegals To Vote.  Our country has twisted itself in knots over the possibility of foreigners (ie:  Russia) having unduly influenced our elections (even though recounts and investigations have confirmed that the outcome was NOT changed by foreign interference).  You'd think that would be reminder enough as to just how precious the individual value of a lawful voter is, and how it must be safeguarded against anything that would erode the value of that one vote.

Houston, We Have a Problem.  Texas has a dramatic history when it comes to voting.  "Landslide Lyndon" Johnson, who went on to become America's 36th president, benefited from blatant fraud to win his first Senate race in 1948.  Following a runoff against a popular former governor, Johnson's backers used recounts, corrections, and phony vote-shifting to hand him an 87-vote primary victory.  Today, it isn't so easy to simply fabricate thousands of votes.  However, inaccurate voter registration rolls, brimming with the names of noncitizens, as well as those who have moved away or died, open the way to error and fraud.  That threatens the integrity of the vote in Texas and elsewhere.  A review of the presidential votes cast in Texas in 2008, 2012, and 2016 by the data analysis firm Votistics found a disturbing number of duplicate registrations and multiple votes.  This means that inaccurate voter rolls are not harmless, forgivable mistakes.

Felons register as Democrat over Republican by 6 to 1.  A new study published a leading political science journal confirms yet again what any observer of American politics knows instinctively:  Felons who are allowed to vote overwhelmingly favor Democrats — 6 to 1 in the states studies.

Spanish-language sample ballots now required in 32 more Florida counties.  A federal judge has ordered 32 counties statewide to provide sample ballots in Spanish to accommodate thousands of Puerto Ricans who moved to Florida after Hurricane Maria.  Federal Judge Mark Walker issued an order Friday [9/7/2018], calling English-language ballots a detriment to voters who only speak Spanish.

Democrat Election Scam Just Chose Wyoming's Next Republican Governor.  Democrats pretending to be Republican for primary day just chose the next Republican candidate for governor in America's reddest state.  Wyoming gave President Trump his biggest victory in the entire presidential election, with sixty-seven percent of the vote.  Because the state is so red, the Democrats' choice will definitely win the general election and become the next governor of Wyoming. [...] Democrats in the 21st century don't believe in having two-party elections.  In California, they try to shut out Republican voters by having a system where the two highest polling candidates win, even if both are Democrat.

More than 23,000 Californians were registered to vote incorrectly by state DMV.  Tens of thousands of Californians have been registered to vote incorrectly by the state Department of Motor Vehicles, including some who were assigned the wrong political party preference, officials said Wednesday [9/5/2018].  Officials insist the errors were limited to 23,000 of the 1.4 million voter registration files sent to elections offices between late April, when California's new automated "motor voter" system went into effect, and early August.

Illegal immigrants who exploited Motor Voter to register in North Carolina still on rolls.  Elvis David Fullerton has voted in 16 elections in North Carolina dating back nearly two decades.  The only problem, authorities say, is he's not a citizen and never should have been on the voter rolls, much less allowed to step into a polling booth to cast a ballot.  Mr. Fullerton, who is still a citizen of Grenada, is one of 19 North Carolinians the federal government indicted last month on charges of illegal voting.  Yet even now, his name remains on the state's rolls in Wake County, and local officials say there's not much they can do about it.

23,000 California DMV voter-registration fails and we're not supposed to worry about illegals voting.  In an issue the press suggests we shouldn't be too concerned about, the California Department of Motor Vehicles says it's screwed up 23,000 voter registrations based on its stewardship of the state's automatic voting registration system, known as its motor-voter law. [...] Hey, we know what your first question was, and both the DMV and the press assure that none of them was an illegal.  They aren't too sure what happened, which is why they are telling everyone to check his own registration, but they are...sure there were no illegals.  This, despite the origins of the problem they described: that DMV officials left old screens up, and the information from the previous clients was sent to the state on behalf of the clients who followed.  Why that couldn't possibly include illegals was not a topic of inquiry for either the Los Angeles Times or the Sacramento Bee, which covered this issue.

Investigation: Potentially 39M Cases of Identity Theft by Illegal Aliens in Last Four Years.  There have been potentially 39 million cases in the last four years in which Americans have had their identities and Social Security Numbers stolen by illegal aliens, a new investigation reveals. [...] If each fraudulent Social Security Number user submitted only one W-2 form a year under a fake identity, this still amounts to nearly ten million individuals using stolen identities of American citizens.

North Carolina hit with subpoena for millions of voter records by federal officials investigating fraud.  Federal immigration officials have subpoenaed more than 20 million documents related to voter records in North Carolina as part of an investigation into alleged fraud.  The official request is "the most exhaustive on record" for election officials, North Carolina State Board of Elections and Ethics Enforcement (NCSBE) attorney Josh Lawson said to the assistant U.S. attorney named on the subpoena in an email, which was provided to Fox News.  The request comes just weeks after Justice Department officials charged 19 foreign nationals with illegal voting in North Carolina in the 2016 election.

Confusion In Super Close Alaska Primary After 17 Voter Registrations Trace Back To A Single Mobile Home.  A potential investigation hangs over an Alaska State House Republican primary after the race came down to a few votes, but irregularities like 17 voter registrations that trace back to a single mobile home address caught the attention of the Alaska Division of Elections.  Incumbent Gabrielle LeDoux leads challenger Aaron Weaver by 113 votes after Tuesday's election, but at least 26 absentee ballots for LeDoux are classified as "suspect" by the state Division of Elections, reported KTVA.

Can hackers tamper with your vote?  Researchers show it's possible in nearly 30 states.  Top computer researchers gave a startling presentation recently about how to intercept and switch votes on emailed ballots, but officials in the 30 or so states said the ease with which votes could be changed wouldn't alter their plans to continue offering electronic voting in some fashion.  Two states — Washington and Alaska — have ended their statewide online voting systems.

Yes, Aliens, Including Illegal Aliens, Vote In Our Elections.  Back in February of 2017 Time Magazine's Wendy Weiser And Douglas Keith published "The Actually True and Provable Facts About Non-Citizen Voting," claiming that "Like voter fraud generally, non-citizen voting is incredibly rare.  Simply put, we already know that ineligible non-citizens do not vote in American elections — including the 2016 election — except at negligible rates."  They based their analysis on state prosecutions of vote fraud, but what they failed to account for was the fact that few states, even those run by Republicans, conduct the kind of investigations necessary to uncover vote Illegal votingfraud, and even fewer elected officials want to risk the charges of racism and vote suppression typically hurled at any official conducting such an investigation.

We Need Paper Ballots to Avoid Voter Fraud and Internet Tampering.  Popular representation is one of the central founding principles of the United States, protecting its validity should be a core role of the government.  Foreign hackers attempted to infiltrate the election systems of 39 states during the previous election.  There is every reason to believe that elections in 2018 and 2020 will be at greater risk.  The threat could come from North Korea, Iran, or any of a number of foreign or domestic adversaries.  HR 3751 would address the threat in a manner that's fiscally responsible, prudent with respect to state and local policy-making prerogatives, and effective in hardening defenses.

Sen. Bill Nelson Urges Placement of Early Voting Sites on College Campuses As Midterms Near.  U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) took to the Senate floor to urge the placement of early voting sites on college campuses before the upcoming midterm elections.  Sen. Nelson's speech comes on the heels of a recent report that indicates that it's unlikely the University of North Florida will host an early voting site available to students in time for the upcoming midterm elections, despite a ruling issued by a federal judge in Florida last month that permits early voting sites on college campuses.

Feds charge 19 non-citizens with illegally voting in 2016.  The Justice Department announced charges Friday [8/24/2018] against 19 noncitizens who they say illegally voted in the 2016 election — putting a major spotlight on one of President Trump's pet issues.  Among those accused of voting are illegal immigrants and legal residents alike — though none of them were citizens and therefore weren't allowed to register to vote or cast ballots.  While far from the millions of votes Mr. Trump has said were illegally cast in 2016, the 19 indictments by a grand jury in North Carolina do highlight a problem that Democrats say doesn't exist in any significant measure.  Those charged include four Mexicans, two from Haiti, two from the Dominican Republic and one each from Italy, Grenada, Korea, Guyana, Germany, Poland, Japan, El Salvador, Panama, Nigeria and the Philippines.

NBC News Spins Fantasy Yarn To Try To Save Bill Nelson From Himself.  Florida Senator Bill Nelson is in a tough fight for reelection against incumbent governor Rick Scott.  A few days ago, for reasons that aren't all that clear, Nelson claimed that the Godless Russkies had penetrated the Florida election system and were plundering about unimpeded.  The implication was clearly that they were going to steal the election in favor of the well known Russian stooge opposing him.

Bill Nelson Admits He Made Up Russian Hacking Claim.  Governor Rick Scott has a small lead over Bill Nelson in the Florida Senate race that is a concern to Nelson.  Probably to give himself an edge or an excuse for falling behind, Nelson said the Russians penetrated "some voter registrations" in Florida.  Nelson went public with the claim in early August, claiming the ubiquitous Russians have "penetrated" some "voter registration systems" in Florida ahead of the 2018 midterms.  "They have already penetrated certain counties in the state and they now have free rein to move about," Nelson told the Tampa Bay Times before a campaign event in Tampa.  He said something similar a day earlier in Tallahassee but declined to elaborate.

Michigan:  Muslims were giving voters rides to the polls to elect sharia candidates.  Despite a few setbacks, they are aggressively picking up seats in elected office all across the U.S. The end goal for all Muslims is sharia.  They aren't joking.

11-Year-Old Hacks into Mock Florida Election Results Website in Under 10 Minutes.  An 11-year-old boy hacked into a mock-up of a Florida state election website to change the voting results in under ten minutes at the world's largest yearly hacking convention on Friday [8/10/2018].  Organizers of the event, DEFCON 26, said in a statement that 11-year-old Emmett Brewer was one out of 50 children participating in the challenge to achieve the feat in such a short amount of time.

670 Ballots Cast in Georgia Precinct With 276 Voters.  Democrats always say there's no need for voter IDs and then something like this happens.  How does a precinct with less than three hundred people suddenly cast almost seven hundred votes?

Conservative Confusion About Who and What We're Fighting.  At this moment, Ohio Democrats and their Beltway masters are diligently working to steal the state's 12th Congressional District from Republican Troy Balderson.  Balderson's Democratic opponent, Danny O'Connor, refused to concede after narrowly losing the special election and a few hours later — the county where he works — miraculously "discovered" 588 uncounted votes in a "routine audit."  When they were counted, Balderson's lead shrank by 190.  Similar skullduggery will accompany the count of provisional and absentee ballots, which will inevitably lead to an automatic recount, which will ultimately lead to an O'Connor "victory."  What has this to do with conservative confusion?  It's a timely reminder that the Democratic Party is little more than a criminal conspiracy and that any conservative who sits at home during the midterms, griping about "GOPes," will be complicit in the destruction of the republic.

Election Day is over, the Democrat is a close second, and...  LOOK!  We found some more ballots!
Hotly contested Ohio race gets closer after hundreds of uncounted votes are found.  The nail-biter playing out in Ohio's 12th Congressional District got even closer Wednesday after 588 uncounted votes were found in a suburb of Columbus, according to county officials.  The ballots were tallied and Democrat Danny O'Connor gained 190 votes on Republican Troy Balderson.  The GOP candidate, who was endorsed by President Trump, currently leads by 1,564 votes.  The Franklin County Board of Elections said in a news release that the newly discovered ballots had not been "processed into the tabulation system," and the issue was corrected.

Scores of Registered Voters Over 116 Years Old Found In Ohio's 12th District, Report Claims.  A new report alleges that there are scores of registered voters who are over 116 years old in Ohio's 12th Congressional District, where Republican Troy Balderson is currently hanging onto a narrow lead over Democrat Danny O'Connor in Tuesday's [8/7/2018] special election.  Eric Eggers, the research director at the Government Accountability Institute (GAI), reports that GAI accessed voter rolls in Ohio's 12th Congressional District last August and found "170 registered voters listed as being over 116 years old [that] still existed on the [voter] rolls."

Eric Eggers: 'Democrat Political Machine Built' on 'Reliance of Illegal Votes'.  There were 1,800 ballots cast by noncitizens in the state of Virginia over the course of just a few years.  And of course, the Democrats' reaction to this, led by Terry McAuliffe, is actually not to say, 'Hey that's a problem, we should go try to figure out what's going on and fix it.'  They just quietly remove the noncitizens from the voter rolls and try to act like nothing happened.

Bill Nelson:  The Russians have Penetrated some Florida voter registration systems.  Russian operatives have "penetrated" some of Florida's voter registration systems ahead of the 2018 midterms, U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson said Wednesday [8/8/2018], adding new urgency to concerns about hacking.  The state, however, said it has received "zero information" supporting his claim.  "They have already penetrated certain counties in the state and they now have free rein to move about," Nelson told the Tampa Bay Times before a campaign event in Tampa.  He said something similar a day earlier in Tallahassee but declined to elaborate.  "That's classified," the Democrat said Tuesday.

The Editor says...
Don't sound the alarm about an emerging scandal and then say you can't talk about it because it's classified.

Update:
South Florida election heads say no evidence Russians have breached voter systems, despite Nelson's statement.  South Florida election chiefs said Thursday they have no reason to believe their voter registration rolls have been compromised by hackers, despite comments from Sen. Bill Nelson that Russians have gained access to some Florida counties' systems.  Broward County Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes said she has not received any special alerts from Nelson or the federal government.  "We have had absolutely no information regarding that," she said Thursday.  "We have not seen anything with our system that something strange is going on."

Rick Scott demands Bill Nelson provide proof of Russian election meddling.  Amid growing concerns over the security of Florida voter registration systems, Gov. Rick Scott demanded Friday that Sen. Bill Nelson prove a vague claim that Russians have penetrated state safeguards.  "Either Bill Nelson knows of crucial information the federal government is withholding from Florida elections officials or he is simply making things up," Scott said in prepared remarks at a campaign event in Tampa.  "Did Nelson illegally release some classified information?  Or did he make this charge of Russian penetration up?"

Sen. Bill Nelson Admits He Has No Evidence Of 2018 Election Hacking.  Last week, Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson claimed that the Florida voting system had been compromised by Russians leading up to the 2018 elections.  But on Tuesday, the Florida senator distanced himself from his earlier claim, blaming the political climate for his inconsistent statements.  Last month, Nelson and Republican Sen. Marco Rubio co-authored a letter they sent to 67 county election supervisors within the state, urging them to be vigilant and warning them of potential threats in November.  This letter did not state that voting systems had been "penetrated" by the Russians, as Nelson claimed last week.

NBC News:  Sen. Nelson Leaked Some Genuine, But Classified, Information.  Wednesday [8/15/2018] I wrote about Sen. Bill Nelson's recent comment that the Russians "have already penetrated certain counties in the state and they now have free rein to move about."  Nelson's rival in the Florida Senate race, Governor Rick Scott said at the time, "Did Nelson illegally release some classified information?  Or did he make this charge of Russian penetration up?"  Today [8/17/2018], NBC News reports the answer is the former, i.e.  Nelson leaked some classified information.

Nancy Pelosi:  Voting for Democrats Gives "Leverage" to Illegal Immigrants.  Minority leader Nancy Pelosi told supporters in El Paso, Texas, a border city on the US-Mexico divide, that Democrats give "leverage" to illegals.  What an amazing admission!  And, of course, she conflates legal immigration with illegal immigration.

Peter Fonda Encourages Voter Fraud So Democrats Can Win.  Actor Peter Fonda, who last made headlines when he said he wanted to "rip Barron Trump from his mother" and put him in a "cage with pedophiles," is back in the headlines again.  This time, Fonda suggests Democrats commit voter fraud so they can win elections.  Oh, and mail fraud, or theft, or some sort of other serious crime.  Responding to a follower on Twitter who expressed concern that "only 21 percent" of millennials voted in the last election, Fonda wrote:  "Then we have to take them by the hand and lead them to the water and teach them to drink!  If you have a millennial in your family, take their early ballots, fill them out and mail them in, or take the ballot to the voting place and give it to the officials... no more worrying!"  Don't look for the tweet — it's been deleted.

670 Ballots Cast in Georgia Precinct With 276 Voters.  Democrats always say there's no need for voter IDs and then something like this happens.  How does a precinct with less than three hundred people suddenly cast almost seven hundred votes?

670 ballots in a precinct with 276 voters, and other tales from Georgia's primary.  Habersham County's Mud Creek precinct in northeastern Georgia had 276 registered voters ahead of the state's primary elections in May.  But 670 ballots were cast, according to the Georgia secretary of state's office, indicating a 243 percent turnout.  The discrepancy, included in a number of sworn statements and exhibits filed as part of a federal lawsuit against the state by election security activists, comes amid swelling public concern for the security of Georgia's voting systems.  Georgia is one of four states that uses voting machines statewide that produce no paper record for voters to verify, making them difficult to audit, experts say.

Noncitizens across U.S. find it easy to register to vote, cast ballots.  A Russian national or any other noncitizen can easily influence a U.S. election by simply registering to vote in California — just ask Elizaveta Shuvalova.  Ms. Shuvalova said she didn't even know her name was added to the San Francisco voter rolls in 2012, when she was a 21-year-old Russian citizen living legally in the U.S. but ineligible to vote.  "I've never registered for anything in my entire life," said Ms. Shuvalova, who became a U.S. citizen early last year.  "This is news to me."

Majority of Democrats:  Illegal Aliens Should be Given the Right to Vote.  A majority of Democrat voters now say that the 12 million illegal aliens currently residing in the United States should be given the right to vote.  In a new poll by Rasmussen Reports, a majority of 54 percent of Democrats said illegal aliens in the U.S. should be given the right to vote so long as they pay taxes.  Illegal aliens paying taxes ensures the identity theft of Americans.

Democrats Embracing Crazy Could Be A Gift To The GOP.  Yes, 55 percent of Democrats actually believe the idea that Russia changed votes to favor Trump, either "definitely" or "probably" happened. [...] For this to be true it would not only require Trump and Putin to have conspired together, but for everyone investigating that alleged collusion to have been in on it as well since everyone investigating it, from Congress to the Justice Department, has said no votes were changed.  How could so many people believe something so obviously false?  It'd be easy to just say they're stupid; "dumb liberals" and all that.  But it's something worse.  It's the media and the Democratic Party consciously giving people that impression on purpose in an attempt to make their voters think Trump is an illegitimate president.  When people who know better, people in positions of trust and authority, say things like, "The Russians 'hacked' the election," there is no doubt of their motive.  These are people whose professional currency is words, this many of them this often saying something deliberately misleading isn't by accident.

Dozens of locked up sex offenders among those granted conditional pardons by Gov. Cuomo so they can vote.  Dozens of convicted sexual predators deemed too dangerous to be returned to the community after their release from prison are among the thousands who received conditional pardons from Gov. Cuomo, giving them the right to vote, the Daily News has learned.  At least 77 sexual predators sent to civil confinement in state psychiatric hospitals after their prison time was up are affected by the widespread pardons, various records show.

Democrats Support Illegal Aliens Voting.  Goodbye League of Women Voters, Hello League of MS-13 Voters. [...] Within the last decade, the Dem position became that Illegal aliens are an oppressed minority who should have the same, if not superior rights, to those of Americans.  If so, what possible reason is there not to let them vote?  Local municipalities are doing it already.

Liberal enclaves embrace noncitizen voting: 'I think this is another good step forward'.  Forget the Russian government — foreign nationals are increasingly gaining the ability to influence American elections more directly.  They're being granted the right to vote.  From Boston, where the city council is debating the move, to San Francisco, where noncitizens gained the right earlier this month in school-board elections, jurisdictions are looking to expand the boundaries of the electorate beyond its citizens.

Voters [are] Opposed to Illegal Immigrants Voting in Local Elections.  San Francisco is allowing non-citizen parents and guardians of children, including illegal immigrants, to vote in the upcoming school board elections.  That doesn't fly for most voters nationwide, but Democrats are receptive to it.  A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 31% of Likely U.S. Voters favor letting illegal immigrants vote for local officials in the area where they live.  Sixty-two percent (62%) are opposed.

21 Attorneys General Write Letter To Congress Asking For Better Election Security.  21 attorneys general recently signed a letter, urging Congress to strengthen election security standards ahead of the November midterms.  The letter was sent Monday to GOP leaders Senator Roy Blunt and Representative Michael McCaul, saying state and local elections — as well as national ones — are being threatened.  The bipartisan group asked for Congress to pass legislation to address cybersecurity as well as funding to improve election systems.

Study supports Trump: 5.7 million noncitizens may have cast illegal votes.  A research group in New Jersey has taken a fresh look at postelection polling data and concluded that the number of noncitizens voting illegally in U.S. elections is likely far greater than previous estimates.  As many as 5.7 million noncitizens may have voted in the 2008 election, which put Barack Obama in the White House.  The research organization Just Facts, a widely cited, independent think tank led by self-described conservatives and libertarians, revealed its number-crunching in a report on national immigration.

Nets Turn a Blind Eye to San Francisco Allowing Illegals to Vote.  Which would you say was more important, The Brady Bunch house going up for sale in Los Angeles or San Francisco giving illegal aliens the right to vote?  Well, for ABC's World News Tonight and NBC Nightly News, it was the former.  On Thursday [7/19/2018], San Francisco began a campaign to register illegal immigrants so they could vote in school board elections.  Instead of reporting on that controversial liberal policy, ABC and NBC chose to focus on frivolous topics like the Brady Bunch house.  ABC also fawned over Billy Joel and Bruce Springsteen playing together at Madison Square Garden, while NBC touted Baltimore banning sugary drinks from kid's menus and parents fighting at Little League games.

Illegal Aliens Register to Vote in San Francisco.  The Democrat party cares not for taxpaying American citizens.  They cater to illegal aliens.  They are turning the illegals into one huge voting block in order to permanently entrench the Dem party as we are seeing with this move to allow non-citizens to vote and other 'motor voter' laws.

Largest Voting Machine Vendor in US Admits Its Systems Had Remote-Access Software Installed.  A bombshell revelation on the security of voting in the United States has just surfaced in the form of a letter from the country's largest voting machine manufacturer.  The company, Election Systems and Software (ES&S) admitted that despite denying previous allegations of its voting systems coming installed with remote-access software, their systems did, indeed, allow for remote connections.  In a letter to Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), written in April, but only released this week, the company acknowledged that it had installed software that made the systems remotely accessible from anywhere.

Top Voting Machine Vendor Admits It Installed Remote-Access Software on Systems Sold to States.  The nation's top voting machine maker has admitted in a letter to a federal lawmaker that the company installed remote-access software on election-management systems it sold over a period of six years, raising questions about the security of those systems and the integrity of elections that were conducted with them.  In a letter sent to Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) in April and obtained recently by Motherboard, Election Systems and Software acknowledged that it had "provided pcAnywhere remote connection software ... to a small number of customers between 2000 and 2006," which was installed on the election-management system ES&S sold them.

San Francisco Doles Out Voter Registration Forms to Non-Citizens.  The Department of Elections in San Francisco has begun circulating voter registration forms for non-citizens to participate in a Board of Education vote in the 2018 election.  The city becomes the first in the Golden State to allow non-citizens a say in local elections.  The measure passed in 2016 by a vote of 54 to 46 percent, after failing two previous times.  "I think it's critical that all of our families have a voice in the governance of our schools," said School Board member Haney, who co-authored the resolution.

Still waiting for the outrage on Mexico's (and everyone else's) election meddling.  Mexico has done amazing amounts of meddling in our elections, particularly the last one.  It was the only nation that openly advertised to its nationals to come over to its diplomatic consulates (not places U.S. nationals are allowed to go to) and register to vote in U.S. elections, something that in California undoubtedly led to a lot of Mexican nationals voting and the resulting cancelation of Americans' votes, meaning the disenfranchisement of American voters.  That's a foreign policy objective for them.  California, understand, does not check if voters are illegal and on its voter signature form and has slyly changed its "I certify I am a U.S. citizen" to "I certify I am a U.S. resident" to avoid prosecuting illegals for voting.  Mexico knows this well.  With Mexico registering the voters of what is not its own country, but a foreign country, you can bet a lot of illegal voting has come courtesy of the Mexican government.

Immigrants find noncitizen voter registration easy.  Abdel showed up at his local Pennsylvania motor vehicle office to take his driver's license test — and walked out having registered to vote, even though he is not a citizen.  He said his command of English isn't good and the computer system was unclear, but he somehow managed to sign up even though he knew he shouldn't.  Then there was Angelo, who figured he could vote because he joined the U.S. military, even though he wasn't a citizen.  He, too, signed up at the Pennsylvania motor vehicle bureau and registered as a Democrat.  He then voted nearly every year from 2001 through 2014.  He finally wrote to Allegheny County asking to be stricken from the rolls, saying he had been ineligible all along.

Voter fraud investigation deepens in Dallas County, targeting Grand Prairie candidate.  A voter fraud investigation in Dallas County continues to deepen with prosecutors asking a judge late last week to impound a "suspicious box" of mail-in ballot applications they believe may be tied to a political candidate in the May election.  Investigators appear to be homing in on the candidate, who they did not name in new court documents but described as a suspect who lives in Grand Prairie.  Authorities are also looking into two other suspects who are connected to the candidate and who prosecutors say assisted voters in mailing ballots in envelopes signed with suspected forged signatures.  Those votes were rejected from being counted.

Noncitizen Arrested for Alleged Illegal 'Voter Assistance' Scheme in Texas Border City.  Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced Tuesday [6/26/2018] that authorities arrested a noncitizen for her alleged role in a voter assistance scheme during a 2016 border city runoff election.  Marcela Gutierrez, a non-United States citizen, was taken into custody following an investigation conducted by the AG's office.  On June 3, she was indicted by a Hidalgo County grand jury and charged with illegal voting for marking a ballot without a voter's consent in a June 2016 Hidalgo city runoff election.  Gutierrez purportedly misled a voter to believe she was demonstrating how to use a voting machine when, actually, the accused cast votes on a ballot for a slate of candidates she was paid to support.

Texas Democrat Runoff Election Results Invalidated for 'Voter Fraud'.  A Texas judge threw out the results of a recent Democrat runoff race for a justice of the peace seat in Kleberg County, ruling seven votes cast were invalid.  He ordered a new election must be held.  Breitbart Texas reported that Democrat challenger Ofelia "Ofie" Gutierrez contested the results of the May 22 primary runoff race against Democrat incumbent Esequiel "Cheque" De La Paz for Kleberg County Justice of the Peace in District 4.  Gutierrez originally lost by seven votes.  She requested a recount but lost again by six votes, 318 to 312.  Then, on June 8, Gutierrez sued De La Paz, alleging voter fraud.

Online voting is impossible to secure.  So why are some governments using it?  Dr. Vanessa Teague is one frustrated cryptographer.  A researcher at the University of Melbourne in Australia, Teague has twice demonstrated massive security flaws in the online voting systems used in state elections in Australia — including one of the largest deployments of online voting ever, the 2015 New South Wales (NSW) state election, with 280,000 votes cast online.  The response?  Official complaints about her efforts to university administrators, and a determination by state election officials to keep using online voting, despite ample empirical proof, she says, that these systems are not secure.

118,522 voters [were] accidentally left off Los Angeles County polling place rosters.  If you are a registered voter in Los Angeles County and poll workers say they can't find your name on the roster at the polling place when you go to vote, don't worry — you can still cast a provisional ballot.  Some Angelenos needed a bit of reassurance that their votes would be counted in Tuesday's primary election after 118,522 voters' names were accidentally left off rosters due to a printing error, according to L.A. County Registrar Dean C. Logan.

Supreme Court gives Texas partial victory in gerrymandering case, state must redraw one district.  The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Monday [6/25/2018] that the Republican-led Legislature in Texas improperly used race to draw a predominantly Hispanic House district in Fort Worth, but overturned a lower court ruling that invalidated other legislative and congressional districts under challenge for allegedly diluting the voting power of black and Latino voters.

California Democrats' Illegal Alien Voting Scam.  As the Los Angeles Times reported in 2015, California's 2015 voter registration law "is intended to streamline the process of signing up to vote and encourage more participation in elections."  It kicks in "when people go to the DMV to obtain or renew a driver's license." [...] According to the DMV, as of March 2018, more than one million undocumented immigrants have received driver's licenses.  Did any vote in the 2016 presidential election?  California Senator Dianne Feinstein denies that widespread voter fraud occurs and Alex Padilla refuses to release data from voter rolls.  So legal residents and taxpayers have good reason to wonder what he is hiding.  State legislators who take an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution now reward the violation of immigration law, and punish those who approve and follow federal law.  The largesse for illegals also violates state law, the 1996 Proposition 209, which bars ethnic preferences in state education, employment and contracting.  California state universities privilege illegals with in-state tuition and as the budget shows, even pay their legal bills.  Neither would apply to a legal African American or Asian American student from Michigan or Nevada.

Almost 4,000 Cases of Likely Voter Fraud Recorded By Wisconsin Officials After 2016 Election.  Almost a thousand cases of potential election day registration fraud were referred to district attorneys across Wisconsin following the 2016 general election, and questions remain over thousands more voters who can't be located or verified, according to data from the state Elections Commission.  All together, 368,392 people registered to vote on election day in November 2016.  When the state sent postcards to their addresses to verify their residency after the election, 10,461 came back as undeliverable.  Local officials claim they were able to reconcile all but 3,871 of them.  That means, officially, 3,871 voters in the 2016 election cannot be verified and potentially voted illegally.  Unofficially, there could be as many as 10,461 cases of voter fraud from the 2016 election due to election day registrations (EDR) alone.

No stamp, no problem:  California lawmakers approve proposal for postage-free voting by mail.  California voters no longer would have to scramble to find stamps for their ballots under legislation sent to Gov. Jerry Brown on Thursday [6/21/2018] for postage-free voting.  If signed into law, Assembly Bill 216 would require county elections officials to send prepaid postage envelopes with ballots mailed to voters.  Californians frequently fail to put enough stamps on an envelope, or simply send a ballot back without any postage.  Some of those ballots are ultimately delivered by postal officials.

Thousands of Cases of Potential Voter Fraud after 2016 Election.  Fortunately, we have enacted some voter integrity measures since then.

Democrats propose changing legal voting age in Michigan to 16.  The unprecedented outpouring of activism from students after the shooting at Marjorie Douglas Stoneman High School in Parkland, Fla., in February is the genesis for a bill introduced in the Legislature last week that would change the voting age in Michigan to 16.  "We allow 16-year-olds to go off and get jobs and pay taxes, but we fail to allow them to exercise their voice come election time," said Sen. David Knezek, D-Dearborn Heights.  "Young people are setting aside their differences and identifying issues they think need to change.  And they can do everything to get that change except vote."  The shooting at Parkland, which left 17 students and teachers dead, prompted multiple school walkouts and large demonstrations across the nation by students calling for more gun control.

This is what voter suppression doesn't look like.  In one of their brave bursts of rage at the police state they live in, Democrats are now up in arms about voter suppression.  They compare it to the days before the Civil Rights Acts and the civil rights movement. [...] Today, things are about as different as you can imagine.  Today, the supposed problem is people in the state of Ohio, who have been on the rolls but failed to vote once in a span of six years and three cycles.  Having failed to respond to a series of notifications and having failed to confirm they still live in the address at which they were registered, they may now be removed from the rolls.

Judge strikes down Kansas law requiring proof of citizenship to vote.  U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson sided with voters Monday [6/18/2018] that Kansas cannot require people who register to vote to provide documents such as a birth certificate, U.S. passport or naturalization papers.

The Editor says...
Typical Associated Press bias:  The judge "sided with voters."  Really?  The judge ruled in favor of those who wish to cast a ballot with no questions asked, but this is not a ruling in favor of the voters who are legally entitled to a vote in an election that is not diluted by ineligible ballots.

Supreme Court sidesteps consideration of partisan gerrymandering in Wisconsin, Maryland redistricting cases.  The Supreme Court on Monday [6/18/2018] took a pass on deciding the limits of partisan gerrymandering — or efforts by state legislatures to create voting maps most favorable to one political party.

Fighting Voter Fraud:  California, Ohio, Virginia.  In the state of California, we have a voter fraud problem.  Of course, the Democratic Party, the Southern Poverty Law Center, Congressman Elijah Cummings play the race card every time someone talks about ending voter fraud and voter registration incompetence.  But the voter fraud problem in California is massive and unmistakable.  In Election 2018, eleven counties had a higher voter turnout than the actual number of potential voters in the different counties.  Los Angeles County was at the top of the list for this officious discrepancy.

VA Supreme Court Kills Gov. Terry McAuliffe's Executive Order Giving Felons Voting Rights.  In a similar story to President Obama's executive orders on illegal immigration, Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe's executive orders granting voting rights to over 200,000 convicted felons was deemed unconstitutional by the Virginia Supreme Court.  Not surprising that Gov. McAuliffe would take a page out of Obama's playbook given that he's been a Democrat insider since his days as a bundler for Bill Clinton.

The Supreme Court's Narrow Decision on Purging Voter Rolls.  The Supreme Court this morning [6/11/2018], in a 5-4 decision, upheld Ohio's purge of the names of some inactive voters from the voter rolls.  "Purging voters" sounds pretty radical, right?  That's what you'd think from the loud freakout over the decision from Democrats and liberal/progressive pundits and celebrities.  The reality is much more modest, and Justice Alito's opinion in Husted v. A. Philip Randolph Institute resolved only a very narrow question of federal statutory law.

SCOTUS Clears The Way For Ohio To Clean The Voting Rolls.  This is a case which we covered here when it first went through the circuit courts and it's probably going to impact a lot of states now that it's finished.  Ohio passed a law a few years ago which allows the state to delete residents from the voter rolls if they fail to vote over a certain period of time.  After two years of not voting the state sends them a notification.  If they fail to respond and go on to not vote for four more years they are dropped from the rolls.  The led to more than 7,500 people being purged in relatively short order and a group of them went to court to protest the law.  An appellate court sided with the purged voters, but now the Supreme Court has overturned that ruling.  The majority found that the state was in compliance with the law in removing voters in this fashion.

A Victory for Election Integrity.  The Supreme Court issued a decision today in Husted v. A. Phillip Randolph Institute, a case involving Ohio's voter list maintenance policies.  By a 5-4 vote, the Court upheld Ohio's policy of removing ineligible and outdated voters from it rolls.  The majority concluded that the practice under challenge — which cancels the registration of voters who do not go to the polls and who don't respond to a notice — does not violate the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA) and the Help America Vote Act.  This is a major victory for election integrity.  As the majority (per Justice Alito) noted, it is estimated that roughly one in eight voter registrations is "either invalid or significantly inaccurate" and that 2.75 million people are registered to vote in more than one state.

Schumer Gets Hysterical After SCOTUS Defends Ohio's Voter Registration Process.  On Monday [6/11/2018], Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer ripped the Supreme Court's decision to rule in favor of the "Use it or Lose it" voter registration process, saying it would "disenfranchise" voters.

Houston registrar battles to keep non-citizens on voter rolls.  Houston's registrar says she's under no obligation to remove non-citizens from her voter rolls under the National Voter Registration Act, testing the limits of how far states and localities can go in trying to thwart efforts to clean up their election lists.  Ann Harris Bennett, registrar for Harris County in Texas, is battling to keep secret the names of non-citizens who signed up to vote and, in some cases, may have even cast ballots.  In a federal court filing last week she said people can be removed for other reasons, but there is no requirement she erase names of people even after they tell her they aren't citizens.

New York cop killer released from prison given right to vote under new Cuomo policy.  A cop killer recently released from prison will get another added benefit of freedom:  the right to vote.  Herman Bell, 70, who served 44 years in prison for the murder of two New York police officers in the 1970s, was granted parole last month by the state parole board.  But a fresh decision by New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo to issue conditional pardons to more than 24,000 parolees means Bell can vote in the upcoming election.

Three Arrested in Voter Signature Fraud on Skid Row.  How much does it cost buy a fraudulent voter signature in LA?  Not a lot, according to the LAPD — just a dollar and a smoke.  Three men were arrested on Skid Row in Downtown Los Angeles Saturday — while allegedly paying homeless people with cash and cigarettes — to falsify names and signatures on official campaign petitions, police said.  The men had been observed engaging in suspicious interactions with people on sidewalks Sixth and San Julian streets last week, but it was only after consultation with state elections officials that the arrests were made during an undercover operation days later, carried out by police assigned to the Central Division.

Cuomo issues pardons officially giving parolees voting rights.  Gov. Andrew Cuomo has issued conditional pardons restoring voting rights to more than 24,000 parolees — including cop killer Herman Bell, who was released from prison last month.  The pardons cover 24,086 ex-cons who are currently under parole supervision, the governor's office said Tuesday [5/22/2018].  Cuomo issued an executive order last month which gave him the authority to issue pardons so ex-cons could vote while on parole.  Bell is among the among the felons whose voting rights were reinstated, records show.

One voter, two registration forms:  Errors reported in rollout of California's 'motor voter' system.  California's elections officials have found themselves with an unexpected headache ahead of the June 5 primary:  potentially thousands of cases where two voter registration forms were created for one person, errors caused by the state's "motor voter" program that launched last month. [...] State elections officials said a software error affected some 77,000 voter records generated at the Department of Motor Vehicles over the past month.  Some of those records — how many remains unclear — resulted in two registration forms for a single voter, a problem reported in several county elections offices across California.

Hundreds of Congressmen Just Failed to Show Up For an Election Security Meeting.  If you've been paying attention to the news cycle since the 2016 presidential election, lawmakers on Capitol Hill have been screaming about the need for election security.  After all, Russia flooded the internet with election propaganda but did not physically change any votes.  Because the midterms are just a few months away, politicians have claimed this is an urgent matter.  Today, lawmakers were expected to show up for a briefing on election security with the Department of Homeland Security.  Hundreds of them bailed.

Mexican woman stole American's identity to vote in elections:  Texas AG.  Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced Monday [5/14/2018] he will prosecute a Mexican woman charged with stealing an American citizen's identity and then using it to cast ballots in three presidential election years.  Laura Janeth Garza was spotted after the American woman went to get a passport, only to have the State Department discover Ms. Garza had already gotten one in her identity.  Federal officials alerted Texas, which conducted a probe and found Ms. Garza also illegally registered to vote and cast ballots in 2004, 2012 and 2016, Mr. Paxton said.

Florida's Electoral System Is Under Attack... By Democrats.  Apparently the state of the electoral system in Broward County (famously the home of Debbie Wasserman-Schultz) is dire and may be under attack.  Is it the Russians?  Some angry white nationalists?  Nope.  Turns out that the Democrats have been accused of destroying disputed ballots from Wasserman-Schultz's primary race in 2016.  Things are bad enough that state election monitors are being sent to Broward County to keep an eye on their process.  And there are more problems where that one came from. [...] All of the controversy is centered around the office of Broward County Election Supervisor Brenda Snipes.

Connecticut state Senate passes bill giving electoral votes to presidential candidate who wins popular vote.  The Connecticut state Senate on Saturday [5/5/2018] voted in favor of a measure to give the state's electoral votes to the presidential candidate who wins the popular vote.  The move puts the state in a position to become the 11th, in addition to Washington, D.C., to join an interstate compact to pool their Electoral College votes for the candidate who wins the popular vote.  The state Senate voted 21-14 in favor of the bill, with the support of three GOP lawmakers, The Guardian reported.  The measure passed the state House on a 77-73 vote last month.  Democratic Gov. Dannel Malloy is expected to sign the legislation, according to the report.

The War on Wisdom.  The fact that one of our two major political parties is advocating lowering the voting age to 16 is a good example of the absence of wisdom among a large segment of the adult population.  What adult deems 16-year-olds capable of making a wise voting decision?  The answer is an adult with the wisdom of a 16-year-old:  "Hey, I'm no wiser than most 16-year-olds.  Why should I have the vote and they not?"  America has been influenced and is now being largely led by members of the Baby-Boom generation.  This is the generation that came up with the motto "Never trust anyone over 30," making it the first American generation to proclaim contempt for wisdom as a virtue.

The youth vote and the Democrats.  The latest left-wing "feel good" initiative is to lower the voting age to 16.  Currently, the voting age set at 18 per the 26th Amendment (1971).  Lowering the voting age, like wanting to eliminate the electoral college, is an aftereffect of Hillary Clinton's defeat in 2016.  The Democrats will do everything conceivable to change the rules of the game to see that something like that never happens again.  They reason:  "Just who does America think she is that she can escape our planned march to Utopia?"  This voting age drive also dovetails with the orchestrated student demonstrations from the Parkland shooting this past Valentine's Day.  Like loose immigration policies, 16-year-old voting is designed to permanently tilt the playing field to the advantage of Democrats.

American elections are too easy to hack.  Elections serve two purposes.  The first, and obvious, purpose is to accurately choose the winner.  But the second is equally important:  to convince the loser.  To the extent that an election system is not transparently and auditably accurate, it fails in that second purpose.  Our election systems are failing, and we need to fix them.  Today, we conduct our elections on computers.  Our registration lists are in computer databases.  We vote on computerized voting machines.  And our tabulation and reporting is done on computers.  We do this for a lot of good reasons, but a side effect is that elections now have all the insecurities inherent in computers.  The only way to reliably protect elections from both malice and accident is to use something that is not hackable or unreliable at scale; the best way to do that is to back up as much of the system as possible with paper.

Hillary Clinton's email list, voter data, campaign software costing Democrats millions, report says.  Democratic campaign organizations have paid or pledged to pay more than $2 million for key parts of Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign infrastructure — including her email list and campaign software — as the party ramps up a costly campaign to win back both houses of Congress this November, The Intercept reported Wednesday [4/25/2018].  According to the report, the Democratic National Committee will pay Clinton's PAC Onward Together $1.65 million for access to her campaign resources, including voter data.  The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has paid more than $700,000 to rent the email list.  In contrast, then-President Barack Obama gifted his email list worth nearly $2 million to the DNC as an in-kind contribution in 2015, the report added.

Concern Grows Over Soros-Linked Voting Machines.  Concern is growing over revelations that voting machines in a significant number of states could be linked to a company tied directly to billionaire leftist George Soros and his personal quest to create a nationless, borderless global state.  The U.K.-based Smartmatic company posted a flow-chart on its website that it had provided voting machines for 16 states, including important battleground states like Florida and Arizona.  Smartmatic Chairman Mark Malloch-Brown is a former U.N. official and sits on the board of Soros' Open Society Foundations.  Since the story first broke, the flow-chart has disappeared from Smartmatic's website, raising further questions about the real status of the Soros-tied voting equipment and whether it is truly being deployed in U.S. elections.

Soros's Machiavellian plan to water down American electorate by 10 million votes.  George Soros calls himself a 'stateless statesman' and well, he doesn't want the rest of us to have a state, either.  His latest diabolical scheme is to increase the U.S. electorate by 10 million voters, watering down the American electorate, the better to cancel out the votes of America's 'deplorables' and conservatives.  His idea is to politically silence them. [...] How does he plan to do that?  By "removing barriers" to voter registration, as if there were a single secretary of state out there who would refuse a qualified voter, even if that voter held non-leftist views.  It's such a bogus premise.  Show us the news stories out there about voter suppression against qualified voters.

Cuomo to Pardon, Restore Voting Rights to 35,000-Plus Felons on Parole.  New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D.) will be granting all convicted felons in the state who are on parole a pardon, a move that will restore voting rights to more than 35,000 people.  The pardons would allow Cuomo to work around the state legislature, which has not approved any such measure on criminal justice reform, the New York Times reports.  Under current New York law, convicted felons may only vote again after they have completed their parole or are on probation.  The executive order excludes parolees with certain firearms offenses.

Washington, D.C., may let 16-year-olds vote for president.  Is that a good idea?  High school students marched to protest for gun control after the Parkland shooting in Florida and soon they might be marching straight to the voting booth in the nation's capital.  Washington is on track to become the first place in the country to allow people as young as 16 to vote in federal elections, including for president, as the nation glimpses the emerging political power of the generation that follows millennials.  It's part of a burgeoning movement in the U.S. and abroad as a growing number of cities and states consider ways to expand voting rights to younger people.

Why 16?  Why not 15?  If you're old enough to sell drugs on the city bus, you should be allowed to vote!

California DMV allows illegals to vote:  GOP chairman.  California is responding to accusations that a new program allows illegal immigrants to vote.  On April 16, the Golden State will automatically register motorists who obtain or renew a driver's license to go to the polls.  "The New Motor Voter Program will automatically register customers to voter, if eligible, during driver license, ID card, or change of address transactions," the DMV said in a statement.  "A customer can choose to opt out of the process.  Undocumented Californians are not eligible to register to vote, and DMV has programming measures to prevent that from occurring."

Why Felon Disfranchisement Makes Sense.  George Will argues in favor of broad restoration of felons' right to vote.  How broad he doesn't say, but his column effectively presents the case for a more expansive restoration than exists in many jurisdictions.  There are good arguments against moving in that direction, however.  Roger Clegg presents them in a critique of Will's piece.  This is an issue over which reasonable people can differ, but I think Clegg has the stronger case.

100,000 California teenagers are now pre-registered to vote.  California's effort to get 16- and 17-year-olds to pre-register to vote has now enlisted 100,000 teenagers, according to information released on Friday by Secretary of State Alex Padilla.  "This is a big milestone," Padilla said.  "I'm optimistic it's going to translate into action at the ballot box."  The program, which began in the fall of 2016, automatically activates the teen's registration at age 18.  State officials reported that more than 10% of the total number of pre-registrations have come in just the last few weeks.

NSA Leaker's Defense Seeks Records From 21 States Over Election Hacks.  An alleged NSA leaker is seeking records from 21 states and several cyber-security firms for her defense.  Reality Winner's defense team is attempting to subpoena representatives from states allegedly targeted by Russian hackers during the 2016 election.

Democrat:  Voters Are Too Stupid to Fill Out Ballots.  The Democratic secretary of state in New Mexico thinks voters are incapable of filling out their ballot without help.  Maggie Toulouse Oliver penned an editorial in the Albuquerque Journal advocating for the return of straight-ticket voting, which would allow voters to check one box, such as Democrat, and vote for every Democrat on the ballot.  "New Mexico had long utilized a 'straight party' voting option until 2012, when Dianna Duran, the first Republican secretary of state in New Mexico in 80 years, ended the practice behind closed doors with the stroke of her pen," Oliver writes.  "There was no discussion, no public input and no transparency.  Duran's was a clearly partisan decision — with the full support of her political party — that was part of an overall plan to both undermine trust in our election process and to make it more difficult to vote."

Tarrant County woman sentenced to five years in prison for illegally voting in 2016.  A judge sentenced a Rendon woman to five years in prison Wednesday for voting illegally in the 2016 presidential election while she was on supervised release from a 2011 fraud conviction.  Crystal Mason, 43, waived her right to a jury trial and chose to have state District Judge Ruben Gonzalez assess her sentence.  J. Warren St. John, her defense attorney, said after the verdict that an appeal had already been filed and that he is hopeful his client will soon be released on bond.

Lawsuit: 100,000 noncitizens registered to vote in Pennsylvania.  More than 100,000 noncitizens are registered to vote in Pennsylvania alone, according to testimony submitted Monday [3/26/2018] in a lawsuit demanding the state come clean about the extent of its problems.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation, which has identified similar noncitizen voting problems in studies of Virginia and New Jersey, said Pennsylvania officials have admitted noncitizens have been registering and voting in the state "for decades."  But state officials have stonewalled PILF requests for access to the data that could expose the problem, the group says in a lawsuit filed in federal court in Harrisburg.

Federal judge orders Rick Scott, Cabinet to create new voting rights restoration system for felons by April 26.  A judge on Tuesday [3/27/2018] ordered Gov. Rick Scott and the Cabinet to dismantle Florida's "fatally flawed" system of arbitrarily restoring voting rights to felons and to replace it by April 26.  U.S. District Judge Mark Walker in Tallahassee issued a permanent injunction in support of the Fair Elections Legal Network, which sued the state a year ago.  The group successfully challenged the constitutionality of the state's 150-year-old voting rights restoration process for felons in the nation's third-largest state.

LA County Admits Number Of Registered Voters At 144% Of Resident Citizens Of Voting Age.  The Election Integrity Project California provides a list of 11 California counties that have more registered voters than voting-age citizens.  In addition, Los Angeles County officials informed the project that "the number of registered voters now stands at a number that is a whopping 144% of the total number of resident citizens of voting age."

Ghost Voters.  Some 3.5 million more people are registered to vote in the U.S. than are alive among America's adult citizens.  Such staggering inaccuracy is an engraved invitation to voter fraud.  The Election Integrity Project of Judicial Watch — a Washington-based legal-watchdog group — analyzed data from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2011-2015 American Community Survey and last month's statistics from the federal Election Assistance Commission.  The latter included figures provided by 38 states.  According to Judicial Watch, eleven states gave the EAC insufficient or questionable information.  Pennsylvania's legitimate numbers place it just below the over-registration threshold.  My tabulation of Judicial Watch's state-by-state results yielded 462 counties where the registration rate exceeded 100 percent.  There were 3,551,760 more people registered to vote than adult U.S. citizens who inhabit these counties.

3 huge election "irregularities" reported in PA.  Democratic candidate Conor Lamb's victory in a conservative congressional district in Pennsylvania this month raised eyebrows among political experts — and Republican leaders think the election could have been decided by three major, unexplained "irregularities."  In a closely watched U.S. House race where Lamb clings to a slender lead in the longtime GOP stronghold friendly to President Donald Trump, reports say the GOP is prepared to sue the State of Pennsylvania to find out the truth.

Should Voters Be Required to Understand English?  [Scroll down]  The Voting Rights Act of 1965 was renewed several times.  By 2013, however, studies by the Census Bureau and other agencies had determined that black voters had achieved equality in the polling place to whites:  equal proportions of both were now registered as voters.  So the purpose of the Voting Rights Act — to end racial discrimination through the gimmicks of "tests and devices" — had been achieved, and in 2013 it was discontinued.  A Supreme Court ruling determined that the Act was no long needed.  But now times have changed, and those cities which call themselves sanctuaries for illegal immigration are engaged in a new vote fraud scheme:  to enable "noncitizens" to vote.  It's a combination of two things:  cheating immigration rules and cheating citizenship rules in order to establish new methods of vote fraud.  This strategy is the polar opposite of the post-Civil War strategy:  the methods of vote suppression have now become methods of vote enabling.  Persons who are not citizens are now being allowed and fraudulently authorized to go to polling places and vote, violating all Federal election laws.

Illegal Aliens Indicted on Felony Charges After Voting in 2016 Election.  Five Lake County, Illinois 'residents' have been indicted on felony charges related to the 2016 general election.  Three out of five people indicted are illegal aliens charged with 'misrepresenting their citizenship'.  How could this be?  The Democrats say we don't need voter ID because voter fraud is just a right-wing conspiracy theory.

Redrawing America.  For the first time in more than a decade, the U.S. Supreme Court is taking a serious look at partisan gerrymandering, with two cases before the justices that could have significant impacts on the redistricting process after the 2020 census.  In October, the justices heard oral arguments in the case Gill v. Whitford, a case that challenged the constitutionality of state legislative districts drawn by Wisconsin Republicans after the 2010 census.  The case marked the first time since 2004 that the justices have taken up the issue of partisan gerrymandering, the practice of redrawing districts in a way that benefits a certain political party.

Noncitizen Voters in Pennsylvania Not a 'Glitch,' Philly Official Says.  Al Schmidt bristles at the description, often attributed to him, of noncitizen voters in Pennsylvania as a "glitch."  Schmidt, a Philadelphia city commissioner who has been sounding the alarm since 2012 about noncitizens on the voting rolls, said the word, misattributed to him, would be accurate if ineligible voters managed to elude safeguards in the motor-voter law.  "That would be a glitch," he told LifeZette.  "In this case, it was never designed that way."  Congress passed the Motor Voter law, formally known as the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, to encourage people to register to vote when they got their driver's licenses.  The problem, Schmidt said, is that Pennsylvania also allows legal permanent (noncitizen) residents to get driver's licenses after a year in the United States.

Kansas official says law halted up to 18K noncitizen votes.  Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach defended his state's voter registration law Tuesday [3/6/2018] in federal court, claiming the measure he championed has prevented between 1,000 and 18,000 non-citizens from casting ballots.

Fear, confusion over integrity of U.S. election systems at all-time high ahead of midterms.  With U.S. intelligence chiefs warning that Russian operatives are already mobilizing to mar the November midterms, fear and confusion over the integrity of the nation's election systems are running at an all-time high.  Although some bellwether special elections have been held in recent months, the primary votes in Texas and Illinois this month kick off the official contests that will determine the balance of power in Congress and in statehouses across the nation.

How to Stop Illegal Immigrants From Voting in National Elections.  States are making it easier for illegal immigrants to vote.  I should say that Democrat states are doing this since the general consensus is that illegal immigrants will vote for Democrats.  A lawsuit is charging that Pennsylvania has been permitting noncitizen to vote.  It's already difficult for Republicans to win statewide and national elections in Pennsylvania because of the Democrat-controlled cities like Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, and Philadelphia.

Millions Of Dead Voted And Thousands Of Illegals In Critical Swing State.  The Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity was disbanded after Democrats obstructed their investigation and several states refused to comply with information requests.  President Trump handed the investigation over to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and now Democrats will have a hard time blocking the investigation into voter fraud, which a recent Pew research study suggests is rampant.

Pennsylvania State Dept.  Sued for Hiding Noncitizen Voting Records.  The Pennsylvania State Department is facing a lawsuit after officials refused to release records relating to noncitizens on voter rolls in the commonwealth.  An analysis found that there are allegedly more than 100,000 noncitizens that are currently registered to vote, according to a Philadelphia official's testimony before a Pennsylvania government committee last year.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), an election integrity group, initially threatened the lawsuit against Pennsylvania's State Department in December after officials in the state were unresponsive to PILF's requests to inspect the data relating to noncitizens on the state's rolls.  PILF filed the complaint Monday afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania seeking injunctive relief to compel Pennsylvania's State Department to allow the group access to the information.

Why aren't Mueller, the FBI and DOJ interested in illegal actions that might alter our elections?  In announcing the recent indictments against Russians brought by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein told the American people that "there is no allegation in this indictment that any American was a knowing participant in this illegal activity.  There is no allegation in the indictment that the charged conduct altered the outcome of the 2016 election."  That was good news.  The bad news is that the special counsel, the FBI, and the Department of Justice don't seem interested in illegal actions that may actually affect the outcome of U.S. elections.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) sued Pennsylvania on Monday for concealing numerous cases of noncitizens registering to vote.  One Pennsylvania election official testified before the state Legislature that an estimated 100,000 noncitizens are registered in the commonwealth.

Supreme Court session on political buttons gets testy.  When is a button more than just a button?  That was the issue before the Supreme Court on Wednesday [2/28/2018], in a touchy First Amendment case over a state law banning "political" garments or insignia at polling places.  It was a messy hour of oral arguments, as nearly every justice expressed frustration at lawyers from both sides who were unable to articulate a workable standard to help the court decide when personal expression — like political buttons — crosses the line into voter disruption or intimidation.  The case started when a Minnesota voter sued after being told to remove a "Please I.D. Me" button and Tea Party t-shirt at his polling place.

Claim: Newly discovered illegal voters will swing Pennsylvania's elections.  According to a lawsuit filed in Pennsylvania, more than 100,000 noncitizens are registered to vote in Pennsylvania alone.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), a nonpartisan advocacy group which has identified similar noncitizen voting in New Jersey and Virginia, submitted testimony that officials in Pennsylvania have admitted that non-U.S. citizens have been registering and voting in the state "for decades."  The lawsuit was filed in Harrisburg on Monday [2/26/2018].  Pennsylvania state officials have shut down requests from PILF for information that could shed further light on the problem and offer means to a solution.  "For months, Pennsylvania bureaucrats have concealed facts about noncitizens registering and voting — that ends today," PILF President and General Counsel J. Christian Adams said.

Lawsuit: 100,000 noncitizens registered to vote in Pennsylvania.  More than 100,000 noncitizens are registered to vote in Pennsylvania alone, according to testimony submitted Monday [2/26/2018] in a lawsuit demanding the state come clean about the extent of its problems.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation, which has identified similar noncitizen voting problems in studies of Virginia and New Jersey, said Pennsylvania officials have admitted noncitizens have been registering and voting in the state "for decades."  But state officials have stonewalled PILF requests for access to the data that could expose the problem, the group says in a lawsuit filed in federal court in Harrisburg.

The five states without a paper trail of votes.  Five states in the U.S. — Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, New Jersey, and Delaware — run their elections using direct recording electronic machines (DREs), which provide no paper trail of the votes.  That means if there's a contested election or a suspected breach or tampering attempt in those states, there is no way to verify the election result.

Black voter registration effort launched at 'Black Panther' screenings.  An activist group has launched a voter registration effort aimed at black voters at screenings of the "Black Panther" movie nationwide.  Members of the Electoral Justice Project, an offshoot of the Movement for Black Lives, are seeking to motivate black voters and increase political engagement with the #WakandaTheVote campaign, the website Blavity reported.  Wakanda is the fictional African nation featured in the long-anticipated Marvel film "Black Panther."

Liberal group with ties to Obama, Hillary calls to restrict overseas U.S. military voting.  After years of accusing states of voter suppression, the Center for American Progress, citing election security, wants to make voting tougher for Americans serving overseas in the military.  The left-wing public policy group issued a report Monday [2/12/20-18], "Election Security in All 50 States," that called for stricter standards to prevent cybermeddling in elections by foreign governments, including banning military stationed abroad from submitting ballots via email or fax.  One state that allows such vote casting is Colorado.  The center called on the state to "prohibit voters stationed or living overseas from returning voted ballots electronically."

Who will influence the 2018 elections more:  Russia or Mexico?  Exactly how many votes is Russia alleged to have cast in the 2016 elections?  I believe that the number is zero.  Exactly how many votes have citizens of Mexico and Central America cast in the 2016 elections?  We don't know the exact number, but we know that it is much more than zero.

The 2018 Elections Just Got A Bit Easier For Democrats Thanks To The Supreme Court.  The Pennsylvania legislature will redraw the state's congressional district lines in advance of the 2018 midterm elections, after the Supreme Court Monday declined to overturn an order requiring a new map.  The decision is a victory for Pennsylvania Democrats, who convinced the state supreme court in January that the current map is gerrymandered to favor Republicans, in violation of the state constitution.  The court ordered the GOP-controlled legislature to produce a new map by Feb. 9.

Judge strikes down Florida's system for denying felons' voting rights.  The state of Florida routinely violates the constitutional rights of its citizens by permanently revoking the "fundamental right" to vote for anyone convicted of a felony, a federal judge ruled Thursday [2/1/2018].  U.S. District Judge Mark Walker said the Florida "scheme" of restoring voting rights unfairly relies on the personal support of the governor for citizens to regain the right to vote.  In a strongly-worded ruling, he called the state's defense of voter disenfranchisement "nonsensical," a withering criticism of Gov. Rick Scott, the lead defendant in the case.

Texas School District Employee Arrested On Voter Fraud Charges.  An employee of a school district in southern Texas is facing voter fraud charges after allegedly filling out applications illegally for other voters.  Authorities arrested 50-year old Ernestina Barron on Monday in Rio Grande City near the Texas-Mexico border after an investigation into the Starr County elections.

The Idiots That Don't Concede Elections.  Here in America, the Democrats have failed to concede the last two normal change elections that went against them:  the 2000 presidential squeaker election and the 2016 election.  But you will search long and hard among your liberal acquaintance for anyone that understands how serious this is.

Texas County Clerk Raises Alarm on Voter Fraud Cases Ahead of Midterms.  Nueces County Clerk Kara Sands gave a presentation on voter fraud to the local commissioners court late last week.  In addition to citing facts and figures, she introduced a collection of former candidates; some elected, others not, but all addressed brushes with voter fraud.  "It's not about me — it's about the people who see it firsthand," she later told Breitbart Texas.  Sands explained, "I wanted to bring awareness to this problem."

Overheard at Philly polling place:  No GOP votes 'on my machine!'  An elderly couple wanted to vote for the Republican in a 2017 special election in North Philadelphia.  First they were told they had to go "get a stamp" outside the polling place — where Democrats handed out stamps for write-in candidates.  Then, when an Election Board worker heard they wanted to vote Republican, a witness heard him bellow:  "Not on my machine!" And though they both said they eventually cast ballots, in the end only one GOP vote was recorded at the polling place.  Those were some of the allegations to emerge this week from the investigation into Election Board workers who allegedly interfered with the March 21 race for the state House's 197th District.  Four Democrats are awaiting trial on charges of committing fraud, intimidating voters and tampering with public records at the polling site at the Esperanza Health Center in the 43rd Ward.

The Theory is Now a Conspiracy And Facts Don't Lie.  A political national committee, the Chair of the Party convention, the Secretary of the Party, Party offices in each of fifty states, and maybe many — many more, have knowingly and wantonly defrauded the American election system and more than 300 million American citizens.  They plotted and planned an act of evil, unlawful, treacherous fraud in a blind quest for unbridled political power, and they hoped that you would never catch it.  They almost got away with it too.  They snuck it past fifty state election commissions, congress, the US Supreme Court and Justice Department, the Federal Elections Commission and countless members of the Electoral College nationwide.  Not a single member of the, as Limbaugh says, "drive-by media" caught it either, or if they did, they decided to become complicit for their own political reasons.

Illegals in California with Driver's Licenses Eligible to Vote After April 1.  Starting on April 1, 2018, illegal aliens in California who have recently obtained state driver's licenses legally, or obtained them previously by lying about their immigration status, will automatically be registered to vote.  Since January 2015, according to the California DMV, A.B. 60, a law passed by the California Assembly, "allows illegal immigrants to the United States to apply for a California driver's license with the CA Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV)" [emphasis original].  As of December 2016, more than 800,000 California driver's licenses were issued to illegal aliens under the A.B. 60 law.  Additional thousands of illegals may have been granted licenses prior to 2015 because they lied on their driver's license application forms and claimed they were in the country legally.  (No proof of legal residence has been required by the California DMV in recent years.)

New California law will automatically register illegal immigrants to vote... and it all begins on April Fool's Day!  A new law in California that goes into effect this spring will automatically register people to vote — including immigrants who are in the country illegally.  In 2015, the state passed a law called the California New Motor Voter Act to increase voter rolls by simplifying the process to register to vote.  The legislation, which goes into effect April 1, will automatically register people who apply for a new driver's license or new state ID at the Department of Motor Vehicles.

Wrist slap sentence for Mexican national who voted for ten years using a fake birth certificate.  A Mexican national who bought a fake birth certificate for $50,000 and has been voting in American elections for a decade has been sentenced to time served — just over one year in the county jail.

The Obstruction of a Vital Election Integrity Commission.  The commission's assignment was to examine the integrity and security of the American election process.  It was similar to work done by several prior presidential commissions.  This time, however, unprecedented obstruction from many state election officials and partisan "lawfare" made fulfilling our responsibilities virtually impossible.  Right off the bat, a third of the states flatly refused to give the commission the voter registration and voter history data we requested — even though it is supposed to be publicly available information.  States routinely provide that same data to political parties, candidates, and other third parties.  There are only two possible explanations for their refusal: either they were part of the partisan resist-Trump-at-any-costs movement, or they were afraid of what we might find.  Additionally, a swarm of meritless lawsuits, filed by progressive groups, hobbled our ability to make progress on our assignment.  Even one of our fellow commissioners joined in.  Maine Secretary of State Matt Dunlap (a Democrat) rushed to federal court because he didn't feel sufficiently included.

Voter-Purge Efforts Get Support at U.S. High Court Session.  U.S. Supreme Court justices suggested they may give states broader latitude to purge their voting databases of people who might have moved, as the court heard arguments Wednesday [1/10/2018] in an Ohio case that could shape who gets to cast ballots in the November election.  Justice Stephen Breyer hinted he might join his more conservative colleagues in voting to uphold an Ohio system that uses non-voting as a factor in deciding which people to remove from the rolls.  Breyer questioned whether states have enough other tools to purge people who have moved away or died in far-away places.  "What are they supposed to do?" he asked.  "Is Rhode Island supposed to look at the Tasmanian voting records or hospital records?"

Heritage voter fraud database.  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.

How Trump Administration Will Fight Voter Fraud After Shutting Down Panel.  After issuing an executive order late Wednesday closing his commission to investigate voter fraud, President Donald Trump now stresses the need for more voter identification and has tasked the Department of Homeland Security with ensuring the integrity of elections.  The White House so far is not saying that the president will call for a national voter ID system.  But his tweets Thursday [1/4/2018] seemed to suggest so.  White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders didn't have a decisive answer Thursday on whether the president favored a national voter ID system.  "We are still going to continue to review the best way forward," Sanders said in a response to a question from The Daily Signal during the press briefing.

Uncovering vote fraud:  Plan B begins.  President Trump announced late yesterday [1/3/2018] that the Election Integrity Commission, headed by Kansas secretary of state Kris Kobach, will be dissolved. [...] If the left thinks it's home free, and that this announcement is a victory, it had better remember whom it is dealing with:  a man who is accustomed to encountering obstacles and overcoming them — one way or another.  Kris Kobach and Donald Trump are in sync.

Trump cancels voter fraud commission, says cost of legal battles was too much.  President Trump dissolved his voter integrity commission Wednesday and ordered the Homeland Security Department to take up the job instead, in a move his backers said could speed up an investigation of the extent of voter fraud.  Mr. Trump decided the commission had become mired in legal challenges and it was a waste of money to continue, when much of the same work could be performed by existing federal agencies.  Democrats and liberal activists claimed victory, saying they stopped a threat to democracy by derailing the panel, known officially as the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity.

Kris Kobach:  Voter Fraud Commission 'Being Handed Off' to DHS, Will No Longer Be 'Stonewalled' by Dems.  Kansas Secretary of State and gubernatorial candidate Kris Kobach says the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity will be "handed off" to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to "more effectively" investigate voter fraud without being "stonewalled" by Democrats.  In an interview with Breitbart News, Kobach said the news that President Trump is dissolving the voter fraud commission should not be grounds for leftist organizations and Democrats — who sought to stop the investigations into double voting and ballots cast by non-citizens — to celebrate, as the investigations will continue under DHS.

Texas County 'Concealing' Noncitizen Voter Records, Says Group.  A public interest watchdog put one Texas County on notice for failing to disclose noncitizen registered voter records, the group says.  Shortly before the holidays, the Indiana-based Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) sent a letter to attorneys representing Bexar County Elections Administrator Jacqueline Callanen to state her office is "hereby notified that it now faces federal litigation should [it] continue to deny access to requested" records related to voters that were later removed for failing to be U.S. citizens.

Voter Suppression?  Alabama Election Exposed a Myth.  African-Americans constitute 26 percent of Alabama's people, but they accounted for 29 percent of the voters in last month's special election for the U.S. Senate.  Whites make up 69 percent of the state's population, yet they were only 66 percent of those who voted. [...] But surely that's impossible!  Haven't we been told time and again that Deep Red states like Alabama engage in voter suppression, cynically disenfranchising minorities through outrageous election rules that, as Jay Michaelson wrote in The Daily Beast, "just coincidentally happen to disproportionately hit communities of color"?  Weren't we reminded in the weeks leading up to the election that Alabama's rules amount to "a naked attempt to suppress the voting rights of people of color" and that black electoral clout is undermined by all the hurdles the state's Republican politicians have devised to deter minorities from casting ballots?

How to Drain the Septic Tank Called Voting.  The evidence of so many dead people still being on the voter registration rolls proves that the voter registration rolls need to be purged. [...] First:  Delete all names from the current registration rolls and then everyone who wants to vote and is eligible to vote according to the law will need to re-register — in person — with absolute proof of who they are.  That means proof with photograph ID (drivers licence or I.D. card) — current billing for utilities or other mail with the address clearly shown — and proof that the person registering is a legal U.S. Citizen — (no green cards or Visa's).  Then the registrar must send mail to the address to verify it is not some empty lot but is an actual residence... no forwarding allowed.  Once the address is verified a Voter ID card with photo will be sent to the address to be used/presented when voting.

Momentum on election security?  After months of debate but little action, there appears to be a modicum of momentum building on Capitol Hill to address some of the security shortcomings that voting integrity experts say threaten to undermine the upcoming midterm elections.  Several lawmakers made public pleas for movement on Friday [12/15/2017] and a bipartisan group of senators are expected to drop an election security bill this week.

Schmidt: Could Be 'Tens of Thousands' Of Non-Citizens Who Registered To Vote In Pennsylvania.  Philadelphia election Commissioner Al Schmidt told state lawmakers this past week that there may be tens of thousands of non-US citizens who have registered to vote in Pennsylvania... and that for their sake, state officials should try to contact them.  Commissioner Al Schmidt told a Senate committee that many of the non-US citizens who registered to vote in Philadelphia, perhaps unwittingly, did so through a glitch in the state's motor voter system.  While the known cases number only several hundred, he says they are all self-reported.  Schmidt says more than 100,000 PA driver's license numbers with Immigration and Naturalization Service indicators match with voter registration records.  That doesn't mean that there are that many non-citizens registered to vote, but...  "We're not talking about an insignificant number here," said Schmidt.  "We're talking about a potentially very significant number of thousands and tens of thousands."

Secretary of State launches investigation into voter fraud concerns in Senate special election.  Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill is investigating a concern over potential voter fraud in last Tuesday's special Senate election.  It all stems from a brief interview FOX10 News Reporter Kati Weis conducted at the Doug Jones victory party on election night when a young man made a comment that has now gone viral on social media.  The interview took place just minutes after the race had been called.  While live on air, in the middle of the crowded party, Kati walked up to a number of jubilant supporters at random, asking them for their reactions to the big win.  But, it was this question and answer that has caused controversy:  "Kati:  Why are you excited to see this victory?  Man:  Because, we came here all the way from different parts of the country as part of our fellowship, and all of us pitched in to vote and canvas together, and we got our boy elected!"  Merrill said he is trying to find out who the man is, and if he really meant what he said, or if he only misspoke.

Man Appears to Admit to Alabama Voter Fraud on Live Television.  In the first clip, taken from the Fox 10 coverage of the Doug Jones victory party in Birmingham, a very excited man tells the reporter that "we came here all the way from different parts of the country as part of our fellowship and all of us pitched in to vote and canvas together — and we got our boy elected!"  The reporter did not ask the man any followup questions about his claim.  The reel next highlighted a post from the Warren4Prez sub Reddit which urged black people from surrounding states to travel to Alabama to vote for Roy Moore's opponent, and news reports about the Democrat's push to register felons at the last minute.

Alabama voter fraud uncovered!? Conservatives Furious.  Was Tuesday's special election in Alabama rigged against Republican Roy Moore?  Speculation ran rampant early Wednesday after conservative radio host Bill Mitchell called for an investigation into "voter surges" that helped put Doug Jones over-the-top in the election for Attorney General Jeff Session's Senate seat.

Judicial Watch Sues California and Los Angeles Over Dirty Voter Registration Rolls.  Judicial Watch announced today [12/13/2017] that it filed a federal lawsuit against Los Angeles County and the State of California over their failure to clean their voter rolls and to produce election-related records as required by the federal National Voter Registration Act (NVRA). [...] Eleven of California's 58 counties have registration rates exceeding 100% of the age-eligible citizenry.  Los Angeles County has more voter registrations on its voter rolls than it has citizens who are old enough to register.  Specifically, according to data provided to and published by the EAC, Los Angeles County has a registration rate of 112% of its adult citizen population.  The entire State of California has a registration rate of about 101% of its age-eligible citizenry.

Pa. State Dept Threatened With Lawsuit For Stonewalling Noncitizen Election Records.  An election integrity group is threatening to sue the Pennsylvania Department of State for allegedly stonewalling requests for records of noncitizens contained on the state's voter rolls.  Christian Adams, the president and general counsel of the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), an election integrity group, said in testimony submitted before the Pennsylvania Senate State Government Committee on Tuesday that his organization has attempted four times to inspect records detailing the full scope of noncitizens on the voter registry but the state has been unresponsive to their requests.  "Should Pennsylvania fail to disclose the full scale of failures allowing — even inviting — noncitizens of legal presence into the voter registry, it will risk maintaining similar flawed Motor Voter configurations not yet properly exposed in other jurisdictions subject to the National Voter Registration Act," Adams said in the testimony.

Alabama Supreme Court stays judge's order to preserve voting records in Senate election.  The Alabama Supreme Court has reportedly stayed a lower court's order to election officials that would have required the preservation of voting records in Tuesday's Senate special election.  A circuit judge on Monday [12/11/2017] ordered election officials to set voting machines to save all digital ballot images, which would preserve voting records in the event of a recount.  Alabama's AL.com said Tuesday morning that the state's Supreme Court had blocked the order.

In final-hour order, court rules that Alabama can destroy digital voting records after all.  Alabama is allowed to destroy digital voting records created at the polls during today's [12/12/2017] U.S. Senate election after all.  At 1:36 p.m.  Monday, a Montgomery County Circuit Court judge issued an order directing Alabama election officials to preserve all digital ballot images created at polling places across the state today.  But at 4:32 p.m.  Monday, attorneys for Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill and Ed Packard, the state administrator of elections, filed an "emergency motion to stay" that order, which the state Supreme Court granted minutes after Merrill and Packard's motion was filed.

Paper Ballots In Alabama Are Being Destroyed!  The Alabama Supreme Court has reportedly stayed a lower court's order to election officials that would have required the preservation of voting records in Tuesday's Senate special election.  A circuit judge on Monday ordered election officials to set voting machines to save all digital ballot images, which would preserve voting records in the event of a recount.

Muslim Candidates Knee Deep in Voter Fraud Scandal.  Minneapolis City Council candidate Mohamud Noor released a statement calling out voter fraud occurring in the Minneapolis Ward 6 city council election.  The allegation came right after Noor removed his challenge against Abdi Warsame, who was confirmed to have won the election in a recount.

Trump election fraud commission has gone dark.  New Hampshire's voter data has been ready for submission to President Donald Trump's commission on voter fraud for a month, but the commission appears to have no interest in receiving it, at least not for now.  Officials from the Secretary of State's Office have tried to find out how to submit the data, but no one on the commission staff has even responded to a phone call, let alone provided direction.  It seems that the state's voter data is all dressed up with nowhere to go.  Secretary of State Bill Gardner, a member of the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, says he's not heard a word from anyone about the commission since it met at St. Anselm College on Sept. 12.  "I think they have sort of hunkered down," he said on Friday [12/1/2017].

Soros Army in Alabama to Register Convicted Felons to Vote Against Roy Moore.  An organization partnered with a George Soros-financed group and led by a radical leftist who is the half-brother of the infamous controversial Rev. Al Sharpton has been diligently working over the past few weeks to register convicted felons across Alabama.

Obama Likely Won Re-Election Through Election Fraud.  There were many factors that hurt Mitt Romney and favored Barack Obama in the 2012 presidential election.  The Democrats portrayed Romney in the worst light possible; as a wealthy, out of touch millionaire who wanted to return women to the 1800's.  The left wing media predictably did everything it could to perpetuate that false caricature.  Obama's race was an advantage; voters of all persuasions, particularly minorities, still cannot get over the allure of the first black president.  The 47% of Americans on welfare were predisposed to vote for the food stamp president over Romney, wanting the free goodies to keep on giving, despite the long-term unsustainability.  In spite of those odds, polls indicated that Romney was going to win the election.  The economy is close to Great Depression era conditions, and unemployment is almost as high as when Obama entered office.  Economic conditions became so dire after Obama took office it prompted the rise of an entire new movement, the Tea Party.  Presidents rarely win reelection when the economy is in the tank.

We Need to Secure Voting Machines.  But from What?  It is extraordinary that a full year after the last presidential election, there is still enduring attention — among the public, in academia, in the executive branch, and on Capitol Hill — to the issue of election security.  This moment presents a remarkable opportunity to take long-overdue steps toward securing federal and state elections.  In the spirit of capitalizing on that moment, this post maps some of the current landscape, both with respect to the nature of the foreign threat, domestic considerations, and possible solutions.

Thousands of Alabama felons register to vote in last-minute push.  Thousands of felons across Alabama have registered to vote in recent weeks, according to Pastor Kenneth Glasgow, who is heading up a statewide effort to get felons to the voting booth.  Glasgow's goal is to get as many felons as possible signed up to vote before the end of the day Monday, the deadline to be able to cast a ballot in Alabama's Dec. 12 U.S. Senate special election.

Evidence of voter fraud in Chicago revealed by city data.  Doing things the Chicago way includes being certain to go to a knife fight armed with a gun, as well as gilding the electoral franchise by voting early, and often.  Despite what the Washington Post recently called the "zombie claim" that there may be electoral fraud not only in the Windy City but elsewhere in our fair Republic, there comes new evidence that the Chicago way is indeed live and well, not only in Illinois but 10 other states as well. [...] According to Chicago City Wire, the election board in Chicago listed more general election votes than there were eligible voters in the city.  The publication cited figures released by the Chicago Board of Elections for 2016, Chicago GOP Chairman Chris Cleveland told Chicago City Wire that it "on a whim" he filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the board.

States Spurning Election Commission Show Irregularities in Voter Registration.  Many of the states refusing to cooperate with President Donald Trump's election commission aren't in compliance with federal law on maintaining voter registration lists, according to government watchdog groups.  So far, 18 states and the District of Columbia have declined or are still considering whether to provide election data to the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, established in May to examine and prevent voter fraud, among other concerns.  The commission requested voter registration data from every state and the District and 14 states include counties where registered voters outnumbered eligible voters based on Census Bureau data, according to findings from Judicial Watch, a conservative legal group.

Democrat Congressman Bob Brady Accused of Rigging Pennsylvania Election.  Pennsylvania Congressman Bob Brady is a ranking member of the Committee on House Administration which oversees settlements paid by Congress for sexual discrimination and harassment complaints.  Additionally, representative Brady is also under FBI investigation for false statements, conspiracy and campaign fraud, according to FBI documents revealed on Tuesday [11/21/2017].

Conyers: Allow 'People Who are Incarcerated' to Vote.  Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.), the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, said that all felons should have the right to vote.  "I'm for allowing people who are incarcerated to have the right to vote.  Why not?  They're citizens.  No matter what they've done, and I'm not defending any of their conduct, but all of it wasn't bad — but all I'm saying is expanding the vote and eliminating structural barriers is critical," Conyers said at this month's annual Legislative & Policy Conference organized by Al Sharpton's National Action Network (NAN) on Capitol Hill.

Yes, Virginia, there is vote fraud.  If ever there were an election that proved the importance of accurate voter rolls, it was Virginia's on Nov. 7.  With control of the General Assembly hanging in the balance, at least three Democratic candidates demanded recounts of their Republican opponents' razor-thin victory margins.  One candidate led by 106 votes, another by 86, and a third by only 10.  Another five races were decided by fewer than 900 votes.  The Democrats need to flip only two more seats to take control of the lower chamber.  Every vote counts, and every name listed on a voter registration roll can be voted, legitimately or illegitimately.  People who oppose efforts to clean up voter rolls or to check voter IDs say it could discourage some people from voting.  But in the rare instance in which someone is removed from the rolls who is eligible to vote, that person can still vote.  He can fill out a provisional ballot and furnish proof of residency later.  So there is no justification for inaccurate voter rolls.

Judicial Watch's Tom Fitton Estimates 1.1 Million Illegal Aliens Voted for Hillary.  Tom Fitton, President of Judicial Watch said we face a crisis over illegal aliens voting.  There are significant studies done that show aliens register and come out to vote in large numbers.  Eighty percent vote for Democrats.  He estimates there were 1.4 million illegal alien voters and 1.1 million who voted for Hillary Clinton, roughly.  "It's one thing to lose your country because you have no borders, it's another thing to lose your country because you have no vote," Fitton said.  He encourages voter ID and certifying citizenship before people register to vote.  The Obama administration was outraged over the suggestion.  Why was he outraged?  Because he wanted to steal the vote.

Gardner: Lawsuits, death, arrest have tied up elections integrity panel.  The commission hasn't met since Sept. 12 when the panel convened at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics on the campus of St.  Anselm College.  But the commission remained in the news last month.  In mid-October came confirmation that Ronald Williams II, a senior researcher, was arrested and charged with 11 counts after police said they found child pornography on his cellphone.  Trump administration officials confirm he was fired following the arrest.  Then David Dunn, a commission member, Democrat and former state representative and lobbyist in Arkansas, died suddenly on Oct. 16 following heart surgery at age 52.  Meanwhile more than two dozen lawsuits in states have been brought against the commission.

Voter Fraud Concerns Hang Over Gov Races in Virginia, New Jersey.  A potentially messy fight over absentee ballots in Atlantic City, New Jersey, highlights Election Day concerns Tuesday about the possibility of fraudulent voting.  The Atlantic City mayoral race — which went to court Monday — turns on absentee ballots, which elections experts say is the easiest part of the voting system to exploit.  In addition to organized fraud, however, some experts contend America's failure to safeguard voter rolls creates the potential to influence the outcome of very close elections.  This is especially true in two closely watched states, Virginia and New Jersey.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation has uncovered thousands of noncitizens who have been illegally registered to vote, including hundreds who have cast ballots.

How many more elections will the Democrats be allowed to steal?  Last week, the Nevada Secretary of State, Republican Barbara Cegavsky, announced that she had cleaned the state voting rolls as "routine maintenance" for the month of October.  This routine maintenance removed 36,090 actively registered voters from the voting rolls and of this total, 17,616 were actively registered Democrats voters.  These may not seem like large numbers, however, the state of Nevada is not a densely populated state and only two counties in the state drive our representation:  Clark County (Las Vegas) and Washoe County (Carson City) where many districts can be decided by a handful of votes.  President Donald Trump only lost Nevada by 27,000 votes and many of our incumbent Republican legislators lost by less than 1,000 votes.

Ex-Felons Voting for the First Time Could Shake Virginia Governor's Race.  In Virginia's closely watched gubernatorial election, Republican Ed Gillespie has spent weeks airing ads lashing out at illegal immigrants, sex offenders, and people with felonies, boasting that he's got the law-and-order creds to keep wrongdoers in line.  But Virginians with criminal records might get the last word, because for the first time in a long time, a huge group of ex-felons will help pick the state's next governor.  Virginia is one of four states that permanently disenfranchise people with felonies, even after they've served their sentences.

More than a dozen states still refuse to release voter data.  These are state-by-state responses to a request for detailed voter data from President Donald Trump's Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, which is investigating voter fraud.

More Cases of Voter Fraud Pile Up as Liberals Look the Other Way.  The Heritage Foundation added another round of cases this week to its ever-growing Voter Fraud Database.  Accounting for these new additions, the database now documents 1,088 proven instances of election fraud, including 949 cases that have resulted in criminal convictions, 48 that have ended in civil penalties, and 75 that have seen defendants enter diversion programs.  Americans should be alarmed, not only because Heritage has compiled so many examples of fraud — impacting nearly every state and elections for all levels of government — but because this figure is likely just the tip of the iceberg.

12 Texas Counties Hold More Registered Voters than Adults, Says Study.  An election integrity law firm put 12 Texas counties on notice "for holding more registered voters than adult residents" during the 2016 Election.  If the jurisdictions do not respond to requests for more information and demonstrate that corrective measures in place, they could risk federal lawsuits from the organization.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) sent notification letters over the past week to 12 counties scattered across Texas.  Those counties are:  Loving, Brooks, Irion, McMullen, Kenedy, Jim Hogg, Culberson, Edwards, Roberts, Polk, Kent, and Cottle.  The PILF stated the counties' voter registration rolls show more registered voters than residents of legal voting age (18) during the November 2016 Election.

The Editor says...
Loving County hardly ever makes the national news, because only 112 people live there.

Chief Justice Roberts Calls Proof of Wisconsin Gerrymandering 'Gobbledygook'.  The Court has long said that, however distasteful, partisan gerrymandering is usually constitutional — unlike, say, drawing districts based on race.  The Court has also said that, theoretically, such finagling may be so egregious that it violates constitutional rights to equal protection, and perhaps to freedom of association and speech.  But it has never been able to agree on how much is too much — and today's arguments illustrated why.

To Limit Gerrymandering, Supreme Court Needs Just to Reaffirm Equal Population Requirement.  Next week, the Supreme Court will hear oral argument in Gill v.  Whitford, a case challenging Wisconsin's legislative district lines as an unconstitutional Republican gerrymander.  It's attracted attention because many high-minded commentators have blamed partisan gerrymandering for today's highly polarized politics — and for the fact that Republicans have won majorities in 67 of the 98 houses of state legislatures and in 10 of the past 12 elections in the U.S. House of Representatives.  But as I and others have argued, gerrymandering has contributed only marginally to Republican success.  More important is demographic clustering.  Democratic voters are heavily clustered in central cities, sympathetic suburbs, and university towns, while Republican voters are more evenly spread around.

Non-US citizen voters uncovered in Ohio.  In Franklin County, Ohio, county prosecutor Ron O'Brien revealed that a grand jury has returned indictments against seven foreign nationals who are accused of illegal voting in recent elections in the United States.  The election fraud involves both the 2012 and 2016 presidential elections.  The Secretary of State and Ohio Attorney General had originally referred 36 cases to Prosecutor O'Brien's office, having noted that non-citizens who "had registered and/or voted in recent elections in Franklin County."  Franklin County incorporates the state capital, Columbus.  Following an investigation by the Franklin County Prosecutor's office and the Board of Elections, seven non-US citizens, were charged with the crime of "registering and voting in elections" in Franklin County.

Homeland Security now says Wisconsin elections [were] not targeted.  The U.S. Department of Homeland Security reversed course Tuesday [9/26/2017] and told Wisconsin officials that the Russian government did not scan the state's voter registration system, then later reiterated that it still believed it was one of 21 targeted states.

Why Democrats' Cries of Gerrymandering Are False.  Battles over districting are matters of extreme political contention that go back centuries and even pre-date the United States.  In 1788, when future President James Madison campaigned for a Congressional seat in Virginia, his opponents, including Founding Father and patriot Patrick Henry, had the state's district borders drawn in such a way as to disadvantage Madison on Election Day.  Madison ended up winning anyway, but the technique of altering district borders to favor certain political parties became part and parcel of American politics.

"Glitch" Allowed Illegals To Vote In Philly Elections.  Remember the contested vote count in Michigan when Democrats cried foul that Trump shocked the political class by winning that state over Hillary Clinton?  A recount was initiated in the urban center of Detroit but then suddenly and seemingly inexplicably that count was halted — by Democrats.  Why?  Because it was exposing massive voter fraud.  Donald Trump not only defeated Hillary Clinton and the long-established Democrat voting fraud machine, he likely did so by millions more votes than were actually counted.

As Evidence of Election Fraud Emerges, the Media Wants to Keep You in the Dark.  If you have no idea what happened at the second meeting of President Donald Trump's Advisory Commission on Election Integrity in New Hampshire on Sept. 12, I'm not surprised.  Though a horde of reporters attended the meeting, almost all of the media stories that emerged from it simply repeated the progressive left's mantra that the commission is a "sham."  Almost no one covered the substantive and very concerning testimony of 10 expert witnesses on the problems that exist in our voter registration and election system.  The witnesses included academics, election lawyers, state election officials, data analysts, software experts, and computer scientists.

We Hear You:  Electing to Investigate Voter Fraud.  Broward County Election Supervisor Brenda Snipes' non-efforts to prevent voter fraud are typical of Democrat officials.  She sounds like your run-of-the-mill, corrupt Democrat capo from Philly or Pittsburgh whose primary objective is maintaining Democrats' power without regard for the rule of law or maintaining a civil society.  Both social norms and the Constitution are targeted by the nihilist, communist left/Democrat Party for annihilation. [...] Leftist apparatchiks like Snipes are vital to the Joey Stalins of the Democrat Party, the malevolent Schumer and abortionist Pelosi.  Snipes most likely considers Antifa to be a community organizing group; in fact, it is — like ACORN and Black Lives Matter — violent, anti-American, communist, and darlings of the mainstream media.

Multiple Foreign Nationals Criminally Charged For US Election Fraud.  A county-level grand jury in Ohio indicted several foreign nationals for election fraud related to the 2012 and 2016 presidential elections.  Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien announced Thursday that the Franklin County Grand Jury returned indictments against seven foreign nationals who allegedly voted illegally in recent U.S. elections.  Originally, the Secretary of State and Ohio Attorney General referred 36 cases to O'Brien's office of non-citizens who "had registered and/or voted in recent elections in Franklin County."

Let's go back to paper ballots.  Going back to paper ballots may strike many people, as it used to strike me, as retrograde.  Isn't it a lot faster to count electronic votes?  Isn't there a danger that paper ballots can be altered, defaced, and burned?  Isn't electronic voting cooler and more up to date?  But the arguments against paper ballots wither under inspection.  Speed of counting:  Why do we need an immediate result?  The press has exit polls, of varying and perhaps improving worth (Britain's was much better this year than in 2015 and 2016).  And speaking of Britain, it only takes until about 5:00 am the night of election day, to have the results in for all (save maybe one or two) parliamentary constituencies.  California, in contrast, takes four to five weeks to count all its ballots — California, the home of Silicon Valley!  The fact is that sacrificing a bit of speed for reliability is probably a good trade.  The strongest argument for paper ballots is that they can't be hacked.  The second strongest is that there is an independent record of each ballot cast, which some computerized systems lack.

Illegals Voting in Maryland City Elections Just the Tip of the Iceberg in Trend of Illegal Alien Voting?  We've been reporting on this unbelievable trend in non-citizen (green card holders AND illegal aliens) voting across Maryland since August.  The city of College Park, Maryland is the latest to decide on non-citizen voting by a slim margin.

Update:
College Park, Maryland won't allow non-citizens to vote in local elections after all.  Non-U.S. citizens won't be allowed to vote on local matters in College Park, Md., despite city council officials voting in favor of a proposal that would have allowed it earlier this week.

Another update:
This report in The Washington Post contradicts the update immediately above:
Non-citizens can now vote in College Park, Md.  The Washington suburb of College Park, Md., on Tuesday [9/12/2017] became the largest U.S. city to allow noncitizens to cast ballots in municipal elections after a divided City Council vote that reflected the nation's heated and emotional debate over illegal immigration.  Unlike most other states, Maryland allows towns and cities to decide for themselves who can vote in local elections.  In recent years, Hyattsville, Mount Rainier, Takoma Park and several smaller towns have extended that privilege to noncitizens.  College Park, home to about 32,000 and the University of Maryland's flagship campus, will join them starting in 2019.

College Park to allow non-US citizens the right to vote in local elections.  The College Park City Council has voted in favor of a measure that would allow city residents who are not U.S. citizens to vote in local elections.  College Park joins six other towns in allowing legal permanent residents and undocumented immigrants to vote in municipal elections.

U.S. top court hands win to Republicans over Texas voting maps.  An ideologically divided U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday [9/12/2017] handed a win to Republicans in Texas by putting on hold rulings that said electoral districts drawn by state lawmakers discriminated against minority voters.

If voter fraud by out-of-state Democrats managed to sway New Hampshire elections the implications are huge.  Did voter fraud in New Hampshire save ObamaCare from being repealed?  The Presidential Commission on Election Integrity is meeting Tuesday in New Hampshire and may eventually provide an answer.  A debate is raging in the state, home of the first presidential primary, about whether state election laws were violated last November by out-of-state Democrats who entered New Hampshire and took advantage of the same-day voter registration law to falsely claim they were New Hampshire residents.  The election featured a photo-finish race for president — Hillary Clinton won by 2,467 votes — and in the race for the U.S. Senate.  Democrat Maggie Hassan narrowly defeated incumbent GOP Sen. Kelly Ayotte by only 1,017 votes.

Stunning testimony:  Voting machines can be hacked without a trace of evidence.  The country's voting machines are susceptible to hacking, which could be done in a way so that it leaves no fingerprints, making it impossible to know whether the outcome was changed, computer experts told President Trump's voter integrity commission Tuesday [9/12/2017].  The testimony marked a departure for the commission, which was formed to look into fraud and barriers to voting, but which heard that a potentially greater threat to confidence in American elections is the chance for enemy actors to meddle.

New Data:  Illegal Voters May Have Decided New Hampshire in 2016.  Newly available data is casting doubt on the integrity of the presidential election in New Hampshire in 2016, which Hillary Clinton won by just over 2,700 votes.  Over 6,000 voters in New Hampshire had used same-day voter registration procedures to register and vote simultaneously for president.  The current New Hampshire speaker of the House, Shawn Jasper, sought and obtained data about what happened to these 6,000 "new" New Hampshire voters who showed up on Election Day.  It seems the overwhelming majority of them can no longer be found in New Hampshire.  Of those 6,000, only 1,014 have ever obtained New Hampshire driver's licenses.  Of the 5,526 voters who never obtained a New Hampshire driver's license, a mere three percent have registered a vehicle in New Hampshire.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation received information that 70 percent of the same-day registrants used out-of-state photo ID to vote in the 2016 presidential election in New Hampshire and to utilize same-day registration.

It Appears That Out-of-State Voters Changed the Outcome of the New Hampshire U.S. Senate Race.  For years, the mainstream media has ignored the problem of voter fraud and belittled those of us who are trying to do something about it.  And when secretaries of state like me identify cases of fraud, we are told that the number of incidents of voter fraud is too insignificant to matter.  Now, however, facts have come to light that indicate that a pivotal, close election was likely changed through voter fraud on November 8, 2016:  New Hampshire's U.S. Senate Seat, and perhaps also New Hampshire's four electoral college votes in the presidential election.

Trump was right again about voter fraud, this time from New Hampshire.  President Trump was upbraided in the press for stating that illegal out-of-state voters swung the New Hampshire vote to Hillary Clinton in a state he otherwise would have won in the presidential election of 2016.  Mixing news with opinion, the Boston Globe, under the headline, "Trump makes groundless N.H. vote fraud claims," [...] But it turns out Trump was objectively right all along, and not for the first time.

More than 5,000 out-of-state voters may have tipped New Hampshire against Trump.  Over 6,000 individuals registered to vote in New Hampshire for Election Day Nov. 8 using out-of-state driver's licenses — and since then the vast majority have neither obtained an in-state license nor registered a motor vehicle.  Speaker of the New Hampshire House Shawn Jasper, a Republican, issued the findings on Thursday based on inquiries he made to the Department of State, which oversees elections, and the Department of Safety.  Since election days, Republicans have charged that a significant number of non-resident Democrats, principally from Massachusetts, flowed into New Hampshire to vote illegally, tilting close elections to their party.  Mr. Jasper's findings give credence, though not outright proof, to those allegations.

Chicago Reportedly Finds At Least 14,000 More Votes Than Voters In 2016 Election.  News of voter fraud in one of the most crooked cities in America, run by Rahm Emanuel, one of the most crooked mayors in America, who supported Crooked Hillary in Crooked Barack Obama's hometown of Chicago should come as a surprise to no one.  The head of the Chicago Republican Party is claiming the city reported thousands of more votes cast than voters in the 2016 election — sparking a battle with Chicago officials who call the allegations overblown.

Florida Democrat Election Official Admits Noncitizens, Felons Voting.  A veteran Democrat chief election official in Florida has conceded in court that noncitizens and felons possibly voted, in a case that could have national implications for how localities clean up voter rolls.  Broward County Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes is defending her office against a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Rights Union, a conservative legal group that contends there are more voters registered on Broward's rolls than there are eligible voters in the county.  Those rolls are said to be inflated with not only noncitizens and felons, but also other ineligible people who have voted illegally.

Spewing Outrage at Voter Fraud Commission, Judge and Media Miss Facts.  [Scroll down]  So, far from being "documents the public had not seen," these are documents The Heritage Foundation and The Daily Signal — the multimedia news arm of the organization — have been pushing out to the public and encouraging wide readership of.  And no, the database isn't "purporting to show," as the [Washington] Post put it, over 1,000 cases of voter fraud.  It's just, well, showing around 1,100 cases of clear voter fraud.  As the introduction to the database puts it, "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."

What Are Democrats So Afraid Of?  When President Donald Trump announced his Advisory Commission on Election Integrity the media nearly lost what was left of their minds.  Journalists mocked the idea, dismissing it as an exercise in vanity, insisting Trump was pushing what they freely labeled a lie because he's upset over having lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton by 3 million. [...] Yet Democrats are adamant that this commission end, and their fellow Democrats in positions of power in the states resist any cooperation.  Their activist arms have gone so far as to file lawsuits to delay sharing voter information with the commission.  Not to stop it — it's public information, after all — but to slow the process in the hope of stopping it altogether.  Why?  Some have claimed the federal government has no business obtaining the last four digits of voter's [sic] Social Security numbers, which is absurd since the government is the one who issued them.  Others have attempted to stoke fears that the Trump administration wants to see how people voted.  This is also insane since no ballot is tied to any identifying marks.

Top Florida Democrat Election Official Admits Illegal Aliens Vote.  President Trump refuses to back down from claims about illegal aliens voting in U.S. elections — and rightfully so.  In a rare admission, Brenda Snipes, a key election official in the state of Florida, admitted both "noncitizens" and felons have voted in Broward County.

ACORN Sues California to Allow More Illegals to Vote.  An ACORN offshoot and other left-wing pressure groups are suing California in federal court because the state hasn't made it easy enough for Democrats to flood voter rolls with illegal aliens and foreign nationals who aren't legally eligible to vote.  Throughout the years Mickey Mouse, Mary Poppins, and celebrities living and dead were registered to vote because now-defunct ACORN and its allied groups were allowed to pollute the voter rolls.

Chicago had 14,000 more votes than voters in 2016 general election.  President Trump continues to receive scorn over his assertion last year that vote fraud accounted for Hillary Clinton's raw vote majority.  Democrats and their shills are unanimous in denouncing the "false claims."  (The Amazon Washington Post recently called it a "zombie claim.")  When the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity was announced, it was denounced as a waste, an attempt to intimidate minorities, and a scheme to violate privacy, which has caused states to refuse to release public data requested by the commission.  Its investigator, J. Christian Adams, is being vilified.  Even Republicans expressed reluctance to Politico over the investigation.

Justice Alito temporarily blocks order for Texas voting map to be redrawn.  Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito on Monday [/28/2017] agreed to a request from Texas officials to temporarily block a lower court order directing Texas to redraw two of the state's 36 congressional districts.  The case, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott v.  Shannon Perez, centers on two districts in a court-ordered redistricting plan the state adopted in 2013, two years after its initial plans to draw the maps were challenged as racially discriminatory.

Maybe Trump Really Did Win the Popular Vote.  Let's say, just for fun, that you were a flight attendant.  One of your jobs is to check the number of passengers vs. what's on the flight manifest.  Too few and you would chalk it up to someone missing their flight.  Oh well.  But what if there were too many passengers?  You would figure there's a problem. [...] You know what else is illegal?  Falsely registering to vote.  But this, according to the left, simply isn't happening.  It was just another hyperbolic claim from our unhinged President.  However, IBD, reporting on Judicial Watch's Election Integrity Project, found that "some 3.5 million more people are registered to vote in the U.S. than are alive among America's adult citizens." You don't say.  Now, why exactly do people register to vote?  Oh, that's right — because they intend to vote.  And a lot of people did.

U.S. Has 3.5 Million More Registered Voters Than Live Adults — A Red Flag For Electoral Fraud.  American democracy has a problem — a voting problem.  According to a new study of U.S. Census data, America has more registered voters than actual live voters.  It's a troubling fact that puts our nation's future in peril.  The data come from Judicial Watch's Election Integrity Project.  The group looked at data from 2011 to 2015 produced by the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey, along with data from the federal Election Assistance Commission.

The Editor says...
Yes, and many of the "live adults" are not eligible to vote, for a variety of reasons.

Obama Never Told 21 States Russians Were Hacking Their Voting Systems.  State election officials still don't know which 21 of their jurisdictions Russian hackers targeted, The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group has learned.  Secretaries of state — who are the top election officials in 40 states — told TheDCNF they were shocked to learn of the Russian hacking when Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials first divulged it at a June 21, 2017, Senate Select Committee on Intelligence hearing.

Millions More Registered to Vote Than There Are Adults in the U.S.  Remember how CNN, The New York Times, and the rest of #FakeNews media kept insisting that President Trump was lying about rampant vote fraud?  Well, that thumping sound you heard in the distance was yet another progressive-Communist canard exploding.

Govt Employees Arrested for Allegedly Selling False IDs to Illegal Aliens for Voter Fraud.  Federal authorities arrested six persons last week involved in an apparent scheme to produce false identification documents through the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV), some of which were then used as ID to illegally vote in Boston, reported Judicial Watch.  Four RMV employees were arrested along with a document vendor and document dealer for allegedly conspiring to provide Puerto Rico licenses and official state ID cards to illegal immigrants in exchange for cash.  In some cases, the false identities and addresses that the perpetrators sold were used to fraudulently register to vote in the state of Massachusetts.  The identity theft operation was uncovered in 2015 when Massachusetts State Police received an anonymous letter alleging that an RMV employee was selling stolen identifications and drivers' licenses.

College student gets 100 days in slammer for registering dead voters for Dems.  A Virginia college student was sentenced this week to 100 days incarceration for submitting fraudulent voter registration forms listing the names of dead people and other faulty information for a political organization connected to the Democratic Party.  Andrew J. Spieles, 21, was sentenced in federal court Tuesday [8/8/2017] for knowingly transferring false Virginia voter registration forms during the 2016 election, according to the Justice Department.

Licenses, ID Cards Sold to Illegal Aliens by Corrupt State Workers Used for Voter Fraud.  A year after Judicial Watch reported a rise in illegal aliens using fake Puerto Rican birth certificates to obtain authentic U.S. passports and drivers' licenses, the feds have busted a Massachusetts operation run by corrupt state workers.  The state employees sold drivers' licenses and state identification cards to illegal immigrants who bought Puerto Rican documents on the black market, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ).  The operation perpetuated voter fraud because some of the false identities and addresses were used to vote in Boston, the state's capital and largest city.  The case is the latest of many illustrating that there's an epidemic of voter fraud in the U.S. that's seldom reported in the mainstream media.

Judicial Watch threatens to sue California - after finding 11 counties with more registered voters than eligible citizens.  Dems will often argue that such fraud is "not widespread," but they're loathe to define what, exactly, 'widespread' means.  How many bogus votes need to be cast before blue states care?  Enter Judicial Watch.  They're threatening to sue the state of California because Governor Moonbeam's voter rolls have gone completely off the rails.  In 11 counties, Judicial Watch found that there were more registered voters than citizens of legal age.  Sometimes by as much as 144%[.]

Still Think Our Elections Are Fair?: 11 California Counties Have More Registered Voters Than Voting Age Adults.  Right now there are plenty of Democrats who think Russia hacked our elections, but they'll laugh at Trump's accusation that illegal immigrants stole the popular vote from him (which is very likely).  The truth is that our elections are seriously compromised, and not by the Russians.  The latest example of this fact comes from California, where it was recently discovered that there are 11 counties that have more registered voters than eligible voters.

LA County Admits Number Of Registered Voters At 144% Of Resident Citizens Of Voting Age.  The Election Integrity Project California provides a list of 11 California counties that have more registered voters than voting-age citizens.  In addition, Los Angeles County officials informed the project that "the number of registered voters now stands at a number that is a whopping 144% of the total number of resident citizens of voting age."

Judicial Watch Warns California: 11 Counties Have More Voters than Voting-Age Citizens.  Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog organization, has sent a letter to California Secretary of State Alex Padilla on behalf of the Election Integrity Project, noting that there are 11 counties in the state with more registered voters, and alleging that the state may be out of compliance with Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).

Judicial Watch Warns California to Clean Voter Registration Lists or Face Federal Lawsuit.  Judicial Watch announced it sent a notice-of-violation letter to the state of California and 11 of its counties threatening to sue in federal court if it does not clean its voter registration lists as mandated by the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).  Both the NVRA and the federal Help America Vote Act require states to take reasonable steps to maintain accurate voting rolls.  The August 1 letter was sent on behalf of several Judicial Watch California supporters and the Election Integrity Project California, Inc.

Bombshell Discovery Reveals Major 'Discrepancy' In 2016 Votes.  President Trump's Advisory Commission on Election Integrity has set out to seek justice.  The Government Accountability Institute (GAI) discovered that "thousands of votes in the 2016 election were illegal duplicate votes from people who registered and voted in more than one state."  GAI used lists of public voter data from only 21 states to match names birthdays and social security numbers to find 8,471 votes from 2016 were duplicated.  You can estimate the number of fraudulent votes based on all 50 states and the GAI conservatively estimated that to be around 45,000.

Hackers Took Over Electronic Voting Machines In Two Hours At DEF CON.  Hackers at the Las Vegas' annual DEF CON event took over electronic voting machines in a display of a simulation run for the White House proving that rigging an election is indeed possible, something that many researchers have warned about for several years.  It took under 90 minutes for hackers to physically break down the 30 voting machines and discover weaknesses in their defenses, The Register UK reported.  Of the 30 voting booths, the hardware and software were manufactured by Diebold, Sequoia and Winvote.

Hacking Voting Machines is 'Easy' According to Experts.  The DEF CON cybersecurity conference brought in 30 voting machines for attendees to play with. [...] Electronic voting machines were designed with older technology, for a specific purpose.  They display a ballot, record a vote, and tabulate.  Slot machines are far more advanced than voting machines (and far more difficult to hack).

New study: at least 45,000 people voted twice in 2016 election.  That's just people voting twice.  It doesn't include dead people votes, illegal alien votes, felon votes, absentee ballot fraud, intentional miscounts, and the blatant wholesale fraud we see in big Democrat cities like Chicago and New York.  So just the tip of the iceberg.

New study documents voter fraud in 2016 election.  I wrote here about the attempt of the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity to obtain voter data from the states to determine whether, or to what extent, voter fraud is a problem.  More than a few states have resisted, even though many of them make the same information available for purchase by campaigns, political parties, researchers or even the general public.  What, it must be asked, are these states trying to conceal?  A new study by the Government Accountability Institute suggests the answer.  It shows that thousands of votes in the 2016 election were illegal duplicate votes from people who registered and voted in more than one state.

Florida turns over voter-roll data to Trump election commission.  Florida provided voter-roll data to President Donald Trump's election-fraud commission Friday [7/28/2017] despite a lawsuit by the ACLU of Florida attempting to prevent the state from providing the information.  Florida Secretary of State Ken Detzner complied with the request by the commission after a federal judge in Washington, D.C., cleared the way Monday for the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity to resume its effort to collect voter data from all states.  U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly rejected a request by the Electronic Privacy Information Center to block the data collection.

Trump's voting commission again asks states for voter data, vows to protect records.  President Donald Trump's voting commission, given a judge's approval to resume seeking voter data, has issued another request asking states for information and vowing to keep the details confidential.  The voting panel has come under intense scrutiny and faced a wave of lawsuits since making a sweeping request last month for reams of "publicly-available voter roll data," including names, addresses, dates of birth and partial Social Security numbers.

Study: 8,471 Cases of Double Voting Uncovered in 21 States.  As the debate over President Donald Trump's voter fraud commission intensifies, a new study has found 8,471 instances of double voting during the 2016 elections occurring in 21 states.  The nonpartisan Government Accountability Institute (GAI), which was cofounded by Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large Peter Schweizer and former Breitbart Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon, analyzed data from 21 U.S. states and found that 7,271 ballots were cast in more than one state by individuals with the identical first and last name, middle initial, birthdate, and partial Social Security number.  Another 1,200 double votes meeting the same criteria were detected within the same state.  Given the high methodological bar employed, GAI says the statistical "probability of correctly matching two records with the same name, birthdate, and Social Security number is close to 100 percent."

President Trump's Voter Fraud Commission Meets, Smeared by Deniers.  The President's Commission on Election Integrity is going to do what no academic, no law professor, and certainly no group funded by George Soros has been willing to do:  inventory and catalog the extent of voter fraud using all available data.  Naturally, a smear campaign sprung into action as soon it was clear that the president was serious.  The groups that raise money telling Americans there is no voter fraud led the effort.  They have a lot to lose, so they have a lot to do.  After all, if they're wrong, their donors were had and their claim that voter fraud is a myth risks being exposed as one big lie.

Court rejects attempt to block election integrity panel from doing its job.  The Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity wants to find out whether, and to what extent, voter fraud exists.  To do so, it needs data, specifically voter data from the states.  The left filed a lawsuit to block access to this data.  It is afraid of what the data might reveal.  Remember when the left used to fancy itself data-driven?  A federal judge, Colleen Kollar-Kotely, has ruled that the Commission's request for state voter data is lawful.  Judge Kollar-Kotely is a Clinton appointee.

Voter Fraud Database Tops 1,000 Proven Cases.  As the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity convenes its first meeting on Wednesday, the issue of voter fraud in American elections has become even more contentious and hyperbolic.  One of the left's main arguments against reform is that voter fraud simply does not occur.  How liberals arrive at this conclusion, we cannot say.  Time and again, studies and analyses point to one incontrovertible conclusion:  that voter fraud is a real and pressing issue that deserves serious solutions, and The Heritage Foundation has the evidence to prove it.  On Thursday [7/20/2017], The Heritage Foundation is releasing a new edition of its voter fraud database.  Featuring well over 100 new cases, the database documents 1,071 instances of voter fraud spanning 47 states, including 938 criminal convictions.

Trump pushes states to turn over sensitive information to voter fraud commission.  The acting head of President Donald Trump's voter fraud commission says it's probably not possible to determine whether Hillary Clinton won the popular vote because of fraud.  'You know, we may never know the answer to that,' Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach told MSNBC's Katy Tur today [7/19/2017].  'We will probably never know the answer to that question because even if you could prove that a certain number votes were cast by ineligible voters, for example, you wouldn't know how they voted.'

The Voter Purges Aren't Coming, Just Another Silly Democratic Narrative.  On the morning of the first meeting of the Presidential Advisory Committee on Election Integrity, Vanita Gupta — the head of the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division under the Obama administration — published a "Moon Landing Was Faked"-level rant about the Committee's supposed dangers to American democracy.  She really did title it "The Voter Purges Are Coming."  They aren't, Miss Gupta, but your op-ed does a tremendous job of making the case for an immediate purge of Obama-era executive branch hires.

Perez: 'It's a War on Voters' Being Waged by Republicans.  Democratic National Committee chairman Tom Perez said Wednesday that Republicans are trying to "trample on our most sacred freedoms."  The comments were part of Perez's Time magazine op-ed written in response to President Donald Trump's Voter Integrity Commission.

Cummings: Voter fraud commission will 'suppress the vote'.  Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) slammed President Trump's voter fraud panel on Wednesday, arguing that the real motive behind the presidential commission was to "suppress the vote."  In a series of tweets, Cummings went after the commission for not investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election and accused the panel's vice chairman, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, of not respecting voters' personal information.

The Editor says...
The voter fraud commission is indeed an attempt to suppress the votes — of dead people!

Colorado's 3,400 voter de-registrations scaring Democrats.  Democrats have always dismissed Republican concerns about illegal voter registrations and evidence of fraudulent voting as pure fantasy.  Why, no illegal immigrant would dream of voting in a U.S. election, despite demonstrating a penchant for lawbreaking by entering the U.S. illegally.  There's no such thing as a multiple-county or multiple-state voters despite the assorted convictions of ACORN operatives, which tell a different story.  There is no such thing as an illegal immigrant casting a ballot — despite big money for voter registration efforts in illegal immigrant areas.  Meanwhile, the very idea that illegal votes would be heavily slanted toward benefiting Democrats — who, in the Hugo Chávez style, offer free stuff from others' pockets — is unimaginable!

Soros-Funded Groups Fight to Stop Trump's Voter Fraud Commission.  President Donald Trump's voter fraud commission announced late Monday it's temporarily suspending its collection of voter data from states following a lawsuit by the Electronic Privacy Information Center.  The Electronic Privacy Information Center had asked for a temporary restraining order in its July 3 suit, saying the commission should have had a plan to protect the data on individual voters before it set about collecting it from the state.  But there's more to the story.

Voter Fraud is Real and Extensive.  Lou Dobbs has reported on Pew Research studies that there are 18 million invalid registrations and 2 million are dead and voting.  Other notable parts of the study:  Approximately 24 million or one out of every eight voter registrations in the U.S. are no longer valid or significantly inaccurate[.]  More that 1.8 million deceased individuals are still on voter rolls[.]  2.75 million people are registered in more than one state.  How can the Democrats claim this many invalid votes would not sway the election?  Our government has allowed this situation to fester, has permitted legal cases not allowing the purging of the voter rolls, and Voter ID.  Someone should ask the progressives and the governors in these states who refuse to assist the government in getting our voting rolls right how this does not erode the confidence in our elections by the people of this country.

Targeting voter fraud - why are so many states against this?  We make the collection of election data our business.  And what we legally collect on voters — a data set as large as any electoral data volume in the country — far surpasses the commission's simple request.  Secretaries of State among the many states began publicly objecting to the commission's request last week.  The purveyors of outrage smelled a conspiracy.  The Trump administration must have been hatching a sinister plot.  Why would they want massive amounts of voter data, if not to manipulate it for political purposes?  But let's be clear about what they are requesting: data that is widely public in the fifty states, accessed by GOP and Democrat political consultants every day, even those that work for secretaries of state (at least in states where they run for office).

Texas County Votes To Return To Paper Ballots.  After years of reports of electronic voting machines "accidentally" registering votes for Republicans as votes for Democrats, one Texas county has had enough of the uncertainty and has voted to return to paper ballots.  Denton County experienced a series of issues during last year's presidential election, and its voters aren't taking any chances.

ACLU sues to demand transparency from Trump's voter integrity panel.  The ACLU filed a new lawsuit Monday [7/10/2017] against President Trump's voter integrity commission, delivering a fierce rhetorical attack on the panel as part of a complaint that the commission is violating open-government rules.  Lawyers for the American Civil Liberties Union said the commission, which Mr. Trump set up to study the scope of voter fraud and the size of potential barriers to voting, is actually an attempt to give "a veneer of legitimacy" to the president's claims that millions of illegal votes were cast in last year's election.

No Election Fraud?  Let's Find Out!.  The Trump administration is an object lesson in willpower.  Just the hint of a crackdown — on illegal immigration, on voter fraud — gets almost immediate results.  It's human nature to take advantage of a sucker's game for as long as the taking is good, but once the force of law rears its head, most folks think better of it.

Hundreds of voter registrations withdrawn in Colorado after state signals compliance with Trump election commission:  Report.  Several county clerks in Colorado said they've seen hundreds of people withdraw their voter registrations following the state's announcement that it would comply with President Trump's voter fraud commission.  In Denver, a spokesperson for the Denver Elections Division said 180 people have withdrawn their registrations in the county since Monday [7/3/2017], according to a Denver Channel report.  In Arapahoe County, which contains the city of Aurora, at least 160 people have withdrawn their registrations since July 1.

This tells me there are 160 people who should be interviewed about the details of their recent voting.

Man living in Austintown charged with illegal voting.  A man living in Austintown is charged with illegal voting.  Konstantinos Leonidas Mouzos, 69, of Compass West Drive, pleaded not guilty to felony counts in a Mahoning County courtroom on Wednesday [7/5/2017].  He has been charged with two felony counts.

Immigration agency won't commit to giving noncitizen data to voter fraud commission.  The U.S. immigration agency that holds millions of records on noncitizens living legally in the U.S. will not commit to turning over that data to President Trump's commission on voter fraud.  The Commission on Election Integrity already has clashed with Democrat-run states that are refusing to meet its written requests to provide voter rolls.  The information is considered public and is often given or sold to political groups.  Commission Vice Chairman Kris Kobach, the Kansas secretary of state, told The Washington Times in May that he also wants U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to provide the identifications of noncitizens living as permanent residents with green cards.

Kris Kobach:  Only 14 states have refused Trump election commission request.  Kris Kobach, vice chair of the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, said Wednesday [7/5/2017] that only 14 states and the District of Columbia have refused the commission's recent request for voter data, disputing reports that dozens of states had rejected the request.  "At present 20 states have agreed to provide the publicly available information requested by the commission and another 16 states are reviewing which information can be released under their state laws," Kobach said in a statement.  "In all, 36 states have either agreed or are considering participating with the Commission's work to ensure the integrity of the American electoral system."

Why the rebellion over Trump voter commission?  In the past week election officials in dozens of states have rejected a request from the newly-formed Presidential Advisory Commission on Electoral Integrity to provide voter records for a study on the extent (if any) of election fraud.  Some of those officials have expressed great indignation that the commission would even ask.  Yet many of those same officials would gladly sell those very same records — to campaigns, to candidates, to political consultants, even to you.  It's a situation that baffles some political veterans.  President Trump created the commission by executive order on May 11.  Vice President Mike Pence is the chairman, and the vice chairman is Kris Kobach, the Kansas secretary of state and gubernatorial candidate.  Kobach is the one who sent the request to officials in all 50 states.

Travis County investigates possibility 17 people voted twice in 2016 election.  Travis County has referred 17 alleged cases of people voting twice — once during early voting and again on election day — to the county attorney.  The tax assessor and voter registrar, Bruce Elfant, confirms to KXAN he's communicated to the county attorney about the issues from last November's election.  "Any intentional voter fraud is too much and if we see questionable ballots we're going to forward them and make sure they're investigated," said Elfant.

Lawsuit says Trump commission has no legal authority' to collect voter data.  President Trump's voter integrity commission has "no legal authority" to collect information from states about their voter rolls, a privacy group said in a new court filing Thursday [7/6/2017], escalating a legal clash with the panel.  The Electronic Privacy Information Center, which has filed an emergency lawsuit to try to derail the Trump commission, says that it doesn't matter what sort of information states will allow, the mere act of the panel requesting data, without having safeguards in place, violates federal privacy and electronic records laws.

Georgia voters, Colorado nonprofit sue to overturn special election results in Georgia's 6th Congressional District.  A group of Georgia voters and a Colorado-based watchdog organization filed a lawsuit late Monday [7/3/2017] asking a judge to overturn the results of last month's 6th Congressional District special election and scrap the state's voting system, Colorado Politics has learned.  The complaint, filed in Fulton County Superior Court, alleges that state and local election officials ignored warnings for months that Georgia's centralized election system — already known for potential security flaws and lacking a paper trail to verify results — had been compromised and left unprotected from intruders since at least last summer, casting doubt on Republican Karen Handel's 3.8-point win over Democrat Jon Ossoff in the most expensive House race in the nation's history.

The Democrats constantly insist there's no such thing as voter fraud — until they lose an election.

Trump Lost RI by 59,000 Votes, RI Potentially Has 150,000 Fraudulent Voters.  President Trump lost Rhode Island last November by 59,000 votes.  This has been a rigidly Democratic New England state for decades.  Hillary won with 225,000 votes to Trump's 166,000.  That is not the story, the story is there were potentially 150,000 fraudulent voters.  Rhode Island Secretary of State Nellie Gorbea has found 150,000 people wrongly placed on the state's voter rolls, The Providence Journal reported Wednesday [6/28/2017].  She said she wouldn't call it "fraud".  They were mostly "inaccuracies".

Trump voter-fraud panel's data request a gold mine for hackers, experts warn.  Cybersecurity specialists are warning that President Donald Trump's voter-fraud commission may unintentionally expose voter data to even more hacking and digital manipulation.  Their concerns stem from a letter the commission sent to every state this week, asking for full voter rolls and vowing to make the information "available to the public."  The requested information includes full names, addresses, birth dates, political party and, most notably, the last four digits of Social Security numbers.  The commission is also seeking data such as voter history, felony convictions and military service records.

The Editor says...
As I understand Mr. Trump's request for voter data, most or all of the stuff he has requested is a matter of public record already.

Terry McAuliffe Again Obstructs Efforts to Investigate Voter Fraud.  The decision by Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe (D.) not to cooperate with a White House commission examining voting processes in federal elections comes after a year in which the governor circumvented the commonwealth's supreme court to restore voting rights for convicted felons and stalled efforts by the Virginia legislature to fight voter fraud.  McAuliffe announced on Thursday evening [6/29/2017] he has "no intention of honoring" a request for publicly available voter data made by the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, which was established through a May executive order and is being led by Vice President Mike Pence.  McAuliffe stated in his rejection that there is "no evidence" of voter fraud in Virginia, and that the "only irregularity in the 2016 presidential election centered around Russian tampering."  He also stated his belief that the commission was set up as a "tool to commit large-scale voter suppression."

The Editor says...
In a way, Mr. McAuliffe is correct:  The commission was set up to help suppress the votes of dead people, non-citizens, incarcerated felons, and the victims of identity theft.

Multiple states reject request from Trump's voter fraud commission to provide voter roll data.  Officials in at least five states say they will reject a request by President Trump's voter fraud commission to turn over all publicly available voter roll data.  By late Thursday evening California, Kentucky, Virginia, Massachusetts and Connecticut signaled resistance to the request citing concerns over privacy, politics and one of the commission's top officials.  In a letter sent Wednesday to all 50 secretaries of state, the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity's vice chairman — Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach — requests the full names of all registered voters, their addresses, dates of birth, the last four digits of their Social Security numbers, voting history and other personal information.

Trump election panel asks all 50 states for voter roll data.  The vice chairman of President Trump's commission on election integrity sent a letter to all 50 states Wednesday [6/28/2017] requesting information on their voter rolls.  Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach is seeking several pieces of information about voters, including their names, birthdays, the last four digits of their Social Security numbers and their voting history dating back to 2006.  The letter, sent to the secretaries of state of all 50 states and obtained by The Hill, directs states to turn over "publicly-available voter roll data including, if publicly available under the laws of your state, the full first and last names of all registrants, middle names or initials if available, addresses, dates of birth, political party (if recorded in your state), last four digits of social security number if available, [and] voter history from 2006 onward."

Student Gets Prison Term for Registering Dead People as Democratic Voters.  A student at James Madison University who was working for a political organization affiliated with the Democratic party was sentenced to go to prison for at least 100 days after he pleaded guilty to registering dead people to vote.  Andrew J. Spieles of Harrisonburg, Virginia entered his plea on Monday [6/26/2017] in federal court.  He had been working for the group Harrisonburg Votes last summer.  A U.S. Attorney's Office spokesperson said, "In July 2016 Spieles' job was to register as many voters as possible and reported to Democratic Campaign headquarters in Harrisonburg."

College Student Gets Jail Time For Registering Dead People To Vote For Democrats.  Democrats constantly say there's no need for voter ID because voter fraud never happens.  How will they explain this story?  A college student working for a Democrat organization registered dead people to vote Democrat.  Now he's going to jail.

Paper ballots are hack-proof.  It's time to bring them back.  It remains true that there is no actual evidence that a single vote was changed by hackers in the 2016 election.  But even the possibility of hacking has served to promote the sort of conspiracy-mongering and political hatred that led to, for example, the shooting attack on Republican lawmakers last week.  In a democratic polity, people have to believe that their votes are counted honestly, or the legitimacy of the system collapses.

Did Votes By Non-Citizens Cost Trump The 2016 Popular Vote?  Sure Looks That Way.  Late in 2016, we created a stir by suggesting that Donald Trump was likely right when he claimed that millions of noncitizens had illegally voted in the U.S. election.  Now, a study by a New Jersey think tank provides new evidence that that's what happened.

Trump Was Right:  Study Shows As Many as 5.7 Million Illegals May Have Voted.  A research group located out of New Jersey has processed through brand new post-election polling data and found that the number of non citizens voting illegally in U.S. elections is most likely much higher than what had been previously estimated.  The number they came up to as much as 5.7 million.

The 'Voter Fraud Doesn't Exist' Claim Is on Shaky Ground.  In January, Thomas Gallatin explored a deeply troubling question that threatens the integrity of this nation's electoral system:  "Just how much voting fraud does exist?" Nobody can say for certain.  As Gallatin pointed out, "If no comprehensive investigations are done, then the argument merely continues to be the spitting contest it currently has become." That's what prompted Donald Trump to form the Presidential Commission on Election Integrity.  The commission is evaluating both voter fraud and voter suppression.

RNC Contractor Exposes Data on Nearly 200M Voters:  Should You Be Worried?  On Monday [6/19/2017], a cyber risk researcher reported that an RNC contractor had exposed a database including nearly every single registered U.S. voter, including names, dates of birth, home and mailing addresses, registered party, and much more.  Should Americans be worried that their data has been accessed and will be used against them?

Recalculations of illegal votes by noncitizens puts number closer to Trump's.  A research group in New Jersey has taken a fresh look at postelection polling data and concluded that the number of noncitizens voting illegally in U.S. elections is likely far greater than previous estimates.  As many as 5.7 million noncitizens may have voted in the 2008 election, which put Barack Obama in the White House.  The research organization Just Facts, a widely cited, independent think tank led by self-described conservatives and libertarians, revealed its number-crunching in a report on national immigration.

Leahy: Automatic Voter Registration 'Should Not be a Partisan Issue'.  Democratic lawmakers on Wednesday [6/14/2017] introduced legislation that would automatically register voters who transmit information to state and federal agencies, potentially adding 50 million new voters around the country.  In introducing the legislation on the House Floor, Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) discussed Shelby County v. Holder, a 2013 Supreme Court decision that struck down certain aspects of the 1965 Voting Rights Act and eliminated the need for nine states to seek federal approval for altering voting laws.  Central to the decision was the debate over racial discrimination through polling laws.

Security failure left nearly 7 million Georgia voter records exposed, researcher finds.  A security researcher disclosed a gaping security hole at the outfit that manages Georgia's election technology, days before the state holds a closely watched congressional runoff vote on June 20.

Fox News Exposes Corrupt Voter Fraud Group Ties to Hillary Clinton and Harry Reid.  Liberals want you to believe that voter fraud isn't real.  These are the same Democrats who have spent years claiming that Republicans can rig elections through voter machines.  But Democrats are the ones that steal elections.  Far too many illegal aliens were registered to vote and actually showed up on election day.  Now, Fox News' Jesse Watters has dropped a bombshell report that should shock all Americans.  A dozen workers for a group with links to the Clinton Family and former Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) have been charged with using fake names on voter registration forms.

Canvassers charged in fake, fraudulent voter registrations.  Twelve employees of a Democrat-linked group focused on mobilizing black voters in Indiana are accused of submitting fake or fraudulent voter registration applications ahead of last year's general election in order to meet quotas, according to charging documents filed Friday [6/9/2017].

12 Staffers At Dem-Linked Group Charged With Voter Fraud.  Local prosecutors in Marion County, Indiana, charged 12 employees of a Democratic-linked voter recruitment organization of submitting fraudulent voter registration applications prior to the 2016 election.  According to the Associated Press, prosecutors say that 11 temporary canvassers working for the Indiana Voter Registration Project made and sent in an unknown number of fake voter applications.  The canvassers' supervisor, Holiday Burke, was charged as well.  The organization, the AP reported, is managed by Patriot Majority USA a group with strong ties to Democratic Party, including former President Bill Clinton and former Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, as well as labor unions.

Canvassers for Dem-tied group charged in voter registration fraud scheme.  Twelve employees of an Indiana group tied to former Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid and former President Bill Clinton were charged Friday for allegedly submitting fake or fraudulent voter registration applications before the 2016 presidential election.  The Indiana Voter Registration Project, an Indiana-based group focused on mobilizing and registering black voters, allegedly submitted an unknown number of falsified applications, according to a probable cause affidavit.  Eleven canvassers temporarily employed by the group were charged by Marion County prosecutors, along with their supervisor Holiday Burke — with one count each of procuring or submitting voter registration applications known to be "false, fictitious, or fraudulent."  If convicted, each faces up to two-and-a-half years in prison.  The group as a whole is also charged, and could face a $10,000 fine.

Why kids can't think.  [Scroll down]  Kids are also indoctrinated to believe that anyone who wants to require photo IDs to vote is trying to oppress the vote and is a racist.  I wonder why the kids won't question the professor as to why those same people who can't get photo IDs are required to have them for so many other things by the government.

The Leaked NSA Report Is Being Read Backward.  [Scroll down]  In reality, even if the allegedly GRU-affiliated hackers got into the computers of local officials in the states where VR Systems technology was used, they couldn't have changed the election outcome.  VR doesn't actually make voting machines.  It makes electronic poll books that make paper voter rolls unnecessary.  They allow an election worker to check a voter's personal data against the rolls and issue a ballot.  By messing with such a system, hackers could produce confusion, making it difficult for voter names to be verified.  They could even enable ineligible people to vote — but for such a ploy to work, there would need to be large numbers of such ineligible people available for a massive fraud operation on voting day.  The Intercept story suggests that the same local officials who handle the electronic voter rolls also manually install updates on the voting machines.  If so, they could inadvertently infect the voting equipment with malware.  But even if that happened, it didn't swing any states Trump's way.

SCOTUS to hear Ohio voter purge case.  The Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal of a lower court ruling by the state of Ohio that blocked the purge of voter registration rolls.  The state government was enforcing a law passed in the 1990s that removed the names of voters who failed to vote for six straight years.  The goal was to purge the dead and those who had moved out of state.  But liberal groups, including the ACLU, said the process was discriminatory because the purge affected minorities adversely.  They claimed it was a "voter suppression" technique and not an effort to prevent voter fraud.

More than 5,500 illegals registered to vote in Virginia in last decade; 1,852 actually cast ballots.  [Scroll down]  Fairfax County, Virginia's largest jurisdiction, also notched the most reports of noncitizens who had to be kicked off the rolls, with more than 1,000.  Prince William County was second with 523, and Virginia Beach City was third with 517.

Study: More Than 7,400 Illegal Votes Cast in Virginia Since 2011.  Maureen Erickson applied for and received a voter-registration card in Virginia despite listing her home address in Guatemala.  The home address in Guatemala apparently was not enough to sound alarms among elections officials in Prince William County, who let Erickson cast ballots in 14 different elections, according to records obtained by the Public Interest Legal Foundation.  Officials finally removed Erickson's name from the rolls for being a non-citizen in 2012.  Erickson is far from unique.  In a report released Monday [5/29/2017], the Public Interest Legal Foundation details how elections officials quietly removed 5,556 non-citizens from 2011 to May of this year.  The organization determined that 1,852 of those who were non-citizens had voted in past elections.  In fact, the foundation counted 7,474 illegal ballots cast by non-citizens, some dating as far back as the 1980s.

New $80M Anti-Trump Network Spearheaded by Soros-Funded Org With Former ACORN Employees.  A new $80 million anti-Trump network is being led by an organization whose top funder is liberal billionaire George Soros and which employs former members of the controversial and now-defunct Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN).  The Center for Popular Democracy Action Fund, the 501(c)(4) sister organization of the Center for Popular Democracy (CPD), a New York-based nonprofit that receives the bulk of its funding from George Soros, announced at their spring gala Tuesday that they will be heading up the new $80 million anti-Trump network that will span 32 states and have 48 local partners, CNN reported.  The network will seek to mobilize new voters and fight voter identification laws.  It will also focus on gerrymandering and automatic voter registration programs with an eye on the 2018 and 2020 election cycles.

Did someone mention ACORN?

Over 7 Million Illegal Voter Registrations Uncovered.  Democrats like to say that there's no voter fraud based on absolutely no facts.  Of course, there's voter fraud and the only reason they say there is none is because they're the ones committing the fraud.  Case in point — over 7 million voter registrations illegally appear to be registered in two states at the same time.  This information is according to voter data obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

More Than 7 Million Voter Registrations Are Duplicated in Multiple States.  More than 7 million voter registrations appear to be registered in two states simultaneously, according to data obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. The new voter data was gathered from the Kansas-run interstate voter registration crosscheck program, which is used to identify "possible duplicate registrations among states."  The program began in December 2005 and conducted its first crosscheck in 2006.  It is administered by the office of Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who was tapped recently to help lead President Trump's voter fraud commission.

Why Are Democrats Afraid of the Election Integrity Commission?  Few people believe that Trump's estimates of illegal votes paint a realistic picture of the issue, and he offered no evidence for his claim.  But if he's wrong, what is the harm of having the first serious national look at just how big the problem might be?  If liberal critics are right that voter fraud doesn't exist save for trace elements, then the commission will come up empty-handed. [...] Indeed, smart liberals are already moving away from the mantra that "there is no voter fraud" to a more nuanced position.  They know that it's likely that if Kobach and his fellow commissioners allow states to examine federal databases of permanent legal aliens, holders of temporary visas, or alien filers of tax returns, they will probably find people who are illegally registered to vote — and voting.  Kobach told me in an interview that states have tried to run those databases against their own voter-registration lists for years, but the Obama administration turned down all their requests.

Florida Election Officials Caught Filling Out Absentee Ballots, Affidavit Alleges.  Florida voters have complained that they have not been receiving their requested absentee ballots.  We may now know the reason why.  According to a former Secretary of Elections Department employee, there is a secret room where Democrat insiders fill out those absentee ballots.  The woman provided her sworn testimony via affidavit.

Time to clean up the nation's voter rolls.  While Democrats continue to claim that voter fraud does not exist, research continuously proves that it is extremely possible.  A study by the Pew Center found that prior to the 2012 election approximately one in eight voter registrations were no longer valid or significantly inaccurate.  That did not include the 1.8 million deceased individuals on voting rolls or the 2.75 million people registered to vote in more than one state.

Trump to sign order launching voter fraud commission.  President Trump signed an executive order on Thursday to launch a commission to review alleged voter fraud, a White House official confirmed to Fox News, after months of claiming voter fraud in the 2016 presidential election.  The order, titled "Presidential Commission on Election Integrity," would establish a bipartisan commission, chaired by Vice President Mike Pence, to review alleged voter fraud and suppression.  Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who has investigated voter fraud in Kansas, will serve as vice chair.  "This action by President Trump fulfills another promise made to the American people," Pence said in a statement.  "We can't take for granted the integrity of the vote."

Federal Data Can Resolve Vote Fraud Debate, Says Vice Chairman of Donald Trump's Election Integrity Commission.  President Donald Trump's new bipartisan commission on voting security can use federal data to help resolve the bitter partisan dispute about the reality of large-scale fraudulent voting, Commission vice-chairman Kris Kobach told Breitbart News.  "The issue of voting fraud often gets politicized, and people are making statements with few foundations [of fact, so] this commission will provide a firm foundation [of] information and facts that are verifiable about the issues surrounding voter fraud," said Kobach, who is the Kansas Secretary of State and is a long-standing opponent of voters fraud and illegal immigration.

Study: Nearly Three Million Non-Citizens May Have Voted in The 2008 Election.  A report from Old Dominion University claims that 2.8 million non-citizens voted in the 2008 election, enough to alter the outcome of the election.

Auditors: Panel Exposed Voter Records to Potential Hacking.  A legislative audit has found that Maryland's Board of Elections needlessly exposed the full Social Security numbers of almost 600,000 voters to potential hacking, risking theft of voters' identities.

Federal judge orders Georgia to reopen voter registration ahead of 6th District runoff.  A federal judge on Thursday [5/4/2017] ordered Georgia to temporarily reopen voter registration ahead of a hotly contested congressional runoff in the 6th District.  U.S. District Judge Timothy Batten made the ruling as part of a broader lawsuit by a Washington-based advocacy group, which last month accused Georgia of violating federal law by reducing the amount of time residents have to register to vote.  Voter registration shut down March 20 ahead of the deciding runoff June 20 for the 6th District election, which is being held in the northern suburbs of metro Atlanta.  Batten, however, ordered registration immediately reopened until May 21.

How California DMV Could Settle the Question of Voter Fraud.  California AB 60 driver's license holders — who are admittedly in the country illegally by virtue of applying for this class of license — are concerned that the Trump administration may use their AB 60 licenses to identify them for deportation, according to an AP story picked up by Oregon Live.  According to Jessica Gonzalez, spokeswoman for the Dept. of Motor Vehicles (DMV), illegal aliens in California have nothing to fear.  She told the AP that although the department makes "databases available to law-enforcement entities," that information would not include the legal status of driver's license holders.  In response to follow-up questions from Breitbart News, Gonzalez may have inadvertently provided the Trump administration a way to get to the bottom of allegations of massive voter fraud.

Democrats File Federal Lawsuit to Try to Steal the Georgia Special Election.  It is a standard rule in American election law for just about every single state that has runoffs.  There is a voter registration deadline before the first round of the election and if there is a runoff only the people registered before the first round can vote in the runoff.  Democrats and Republicans have abided by this rule for years.  But with Jon Ossoff failing to vote his Ossoff into office last Tuesday, it no longer works for Democrats.

Election Results Gave This Union Millions.  Now State Lawmakers Are Looking Into Voter Fraud.  State lawmakers want Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton's administration to explain its apparent faith in a politically connected union despite evidence of fraud since the union won an election to represent thousands of residents who care for disabled relatives in their homes.  State Rep. Marion O'Neill, chairman of the Subcommittee on Employee Relations, plans to schedule a hearing to ask the head of Minnesota's labor relations agency to detail how an affiliate of the Service Employees International Union recruited home caregivers and the state administered the election.  "I want to see how many [ballots] they actually did send out, and I want to see the original receipts for the mailing," O'Neill told The Daily Signal in a phone interview.

Nevada Sec.  State:  DMV Instructed Employees To Register Non-Citizens To Vote.  Nevada's Secretary of State blamed the Department of Motor Vehicles voter registration process for adding people to the state voter rolls who were not U.S. Citizens.  Nevada Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske told state DMV director, Terri Albertson in a letter Friday evening about her concerns regarding the registrations.  "It has come to our attention that when offering voter registration opportunities to customers, DMV's employees offer voter registration materials to DMV customers whom they know to be non-citizens based upon their presentation of a Green Card for identification purposes," Cegavske wrote.

New details emerge in theft of Georgia voting machines.  Key electronic voter logs used in the Georgia special election to fill a vacant Congressional seat were swiped from the pickup truck of a poll worker during a grocery run, according to a police report obtained by Fox News.  The theft of early voting check-in books has raised the specter of fraud in the hotly contested race to fill the state's sixth district seat left open when Tom Price was named Health and Human Services secretary.  Tuesday [4/18/2017] is election day, but thousands of voters took part in early voting.

Voting machines stolen ahead of Georgia special election: report.  Voting machines were reported stolen a day before Georgia's special congressional election, according to a new report.  The equipment was stolen last Saturday evening from a Cobb County precinct manager's vehicle, Channel 2 Action News said Monday [4/17/2017].  He did not immediately report the theft.  "It is unacceptable that the Cobb County Elections Office waited two days to notify my office of this theft," Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp said in a statement.

How Marine Le Pen is facing wipe out in French election after computer blunder.  A monumental computer blunder could cost Marine Le Pen the French general election as 500,000 citizens living outside of France have the chance to vote twice.  Half a million people received duplicate polling cards in the post, which would allow them to cast two votes at the first round of the election, held on April 23.  French authorities confirmed they would not be investigating the potential electoral fraud until AFTER the election, when retrospective prosecution may take place.

Judicial Watch Warns 11 States to Clean Voter Registration Lists or Face Federal Lawsuit.  Judicial Watch today [4/11/2017] announced it has sent notice-of-violation letters threatening to sue 11 states having counties in which the number of registered voters exceeds the number of voting-age citizens, as calculated by the U.S. Census Bureau's 2011-2015 American Community Survey.  According to the letters, this is "strong circumstantial evidence that these ... counties are not conducting reasonable voter registration record maintenance as mandated under the [National Voter Registration Act] NVRA."  Both the NVRA and the federal Help America Vote Act require states to take reasonable steps to maintain accurate voting rolls.

Soros-Funded Group Chaired By Elizabeth Warren's Daughter Fighting Voter Integrity Lawsuits.  An organization funded by liberal billionaire George Soros and chaired by Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren's daughter is fighting lawsuits brought forth by election integrity groups in a number of cities.  Demos, a New York City-based progressive public policy organization, is assisting unions in pushing back against election lawsuits filed in North Carolina and Florida.  The group is also writing letters of interest in another lawsuit in Pennsylvania.  Amelia Warren Tyagi, Warren's daughter, chairs the board of Demos.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation, an Indiana-based legal group that litigates to protect election integrity, filed a lawsuit against Wake County, N.C., on behalf of Voter Integrity Project NC, a research organization dedicated to fair elections, after the county had failed to accurately maintain their voter rolls.

These Cases Prove the Left Is Wrong to Dismiss Voter Fraud.  Free and fair elections are the foundation of our political system.  If Americans are to have faith in that system, they need to be able to say with confidence that the results of these contests accurately reflect the will of the people.  But for some, the integrity of the ballot box is less important than victory.  These fraudsters and thieves are not above rigging elections and stealing votes to advance their careers and their causes.

Nebraska Democrats include voter registration forms in 'refugee welcome baskets'.  The Nebraska Democratic Party is welcoming refugees with open arms, welcome baskets ... and voter registration forms.  A donation drive organized by the NDP collected some 50 gift baskets for refugees.  Each contained items like diapers and kitchen utensils, a welcome letter from the Nebraska Democratic Party signed by its chairwoman Jane Kleeb, and a voter registration form, according to a video posted to Facebook by the Nebraska Democratic Party.

Maryland county's count suggests noncitizens voting across U.S.  The debate over noncitizens voting was a hot topic a few years ago in Frederick County, a prosperous Maryland suburb wedged between Washington's urban metropolis and the state's rural western gateway to the rest of America.  Conservative activists went to court to show that noncitizens were registering fraudulently to vote.  A court employee met their request by turning over pages of residents' names disqualified from jury duty because of alien status.  When those lists were compared with voting records for just three years — 2007, 2008 and 2011 — nearly 180 noncitizens were found to have registered to vote.  Of those, 63 had voted, some in multiple elections.  The 180 registered votes came from 1,400 disqualified noncitizens in those three years, a rate of 12.8 percent.

States scramble for funding to upgrade aging voting machines.  At least once a year, staffers in one of Texas' largest election offices scour the web for a relic from a bygone technology era:  Zip disks.

Texas prosecutor backs up Trump claim of noncitizens voting at polls.  Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton supports President Trump's claim that noncitizens are voting in U.S. elections, saying prosecutors in his own state have won convictions for voter fraud.  "I know it's an issue because I deal with it," Mr. Paxton told The Washington Times.  "We just got a conviction on an illegal that voted in an election."  Putting a number on how many illegal votes were cast is difficult, however, because local election officials aren't looking for that kind of fraud.  "They're complicit in allowing it to happen," he said.

Experts:  Obama blocked us from vote-fraud data.  Amid vehement objection and ridicule from the left, there are many election experts who agree with the president that widespread vote fraud exists, including illegal-alien voting.  But they think it's unwise to make any estimates of the number of illegal voters, because there is no hard data at the moment.  Yet, that likely will change with access now to records that were kept under wraps by the Obama administration.  J. Christian Adams, who worked in the Justice Department's Voting Rights Section under President George W. Bush and now heads the non-profit Public Interest Law Foundation, emphasized to WND that "data-driven conclusions are the most valid."

Billionaire George Soros fuels Democrats' push to lower voting age to 17.  Stung by recent election defeats, Democrats are leading the charge to lower the voting age to 17, with a little help from liberal billionaire George Soros.  In California, Democratic legislators introduced this week a landmark bill, ACA 10, that would give the Golden State the nation's youngest statewide voting age by lowering the threshold from 18 to 17 in the name of reversing the slide in voter turnout.  "Young people are our future," said Democratic Assembly member Evan Low, the measure's sponsor.  "Lowering the voting age will help give them a voice in the democratic process and instill a lifelong habit of voting."

The Editor says...
First of all, whenever you hear that George Soros has an idea, you should instinctively push in the opposite direction.  But aside from that, think for a moment about how little the average 17-year-old has at stake in an election.  Teenagers who are too young to be drafted — and who do not pay taxes — should NOT be "given a voice" at the ballot box.  Teenagers who do not own any substantial property are not likely to understand what a tax burden is — especially if they're still living with their parents.  Poorly-educated 17-year-olds don't know the difference between a Muslim and a Christian.  They don't know what carbon dioxide does, but they've been told that it is a pollutant that overheats the Earth.  They don't know how to make change unless a cash register figures it out for them, and yet they think the minimum wage should be $25 and hour.  After years of indoctrination in the public schools, most 17-year-olds don't know the true differences between the political parties.  Look at the number of teenagers these days who are covered with tattoos.  This shows that they don't understand the long-term consequences of their actions.  The voting age should return to 21, if it changes at all.

Lowering the Voting Age Would Further Cheapen the Franchise.  Young people are our future — and that's a terrifying prospect.  Civic ignorance is an epidemic, and we would do well to focus on eradicating that particular disease before allowing it to spread further.  Lowering the age of eligibility would expand the pool of low-information voters, and that's about it.

Guam's Racially Segregated Voting Scheme Is Struck Down.  After a lonely six-year battle, retired Air Force officer Arnold Davis, a resident of Guam, has finally won his right to register to vote in the U.S. territory and participate in a plebiscite on its future.  On March 8, Judge Frances Tydingco-Gatewood ruled that Guam's law limiting registration and voting to "Native Inhabitants" of the island is a violation of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments.  As the judge said, the Constitution does not allow the government "to exclude otherwise qualified voters in participating in an election where public issues are decided simply because those otherwise qualified voters do not have the correct ancestry or bloodline."

36,635 dead lose their right to vote in West Virginia.  Republican Mac Warner has been West Virginia's secretary of state for only 45 days, and already he has suppressed the votes of up to 36,635 dead people — in an act of zombiephobia that defies the logic and reason.

Turns Out, Noncitizens Did Vote In November, Only Question Is How Many?  Remember all those media reports calling President Trump a liar for claiming that noncitizens voted in the November elections?  Turns out, he was more correct than the press.

McAuliffe Vetoes Bill to Investigate Virginia Voter Rolls With More Registered Than Eligible Voters.  Democratic Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe vetoed a bill that would require investigations of jurisdictions in the state whose voter rolls contain more registered voters than citizens who are eligible to vote.  The bill, first introduced by Republican state Sen. Mark D. Obenshain, was prompted by a report that shed light on eight Virginia counties that had more registered voters on their voter rolls than eligible voters.

Hundreds Of Non-Citizens Registered to Vote In Ohio, Investigation Finds.  Hundreds of non-citizens are registered to vote in Ohio and some have even cast ballots, a state investigation of its voter rolls reveals.  According to Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, his office has identified a total of 821 non-citizens registered to vote in the Buckeye State since 2011 — 126 of whom voted in at least one election.  "In light of the national discussion about illegal voting it is important to inform our discussions with facts," Husted said in a statement.  "The fact is voter fraud happens, it is rare and when it happens, we hold people accountable."

The Editor says...
Really?  Name ten people who have been indicted for voter fraud in Ohio in the last ten years.

Ohio investigation found 385 non-US citizens registered to vote, 82 cast illegal ballots.  Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted announced an investigation has uncovered that hundreds of non-US citizens are registered to vote in the state, and dozens of them voted illegally.  According to a release from Husted, 385 people who are not citizens of the United States are registered to vote in Ohio.  Out of those, 82 voted in at least one election in the last year.

Why Trump's Call to Investigate Vote Fraud Is Valid.  [Scroll down]  Liberal activists have all too often rejected and fought against bipartisan efforts to fix these critical problems.  Trump detailed some of the problems in our voting system:  "You have people that are registered who are dead, who are illegals, who are in two states.  You have people registered in two states. ... They vote twice."  In 2014, President Barack Obama's bipartisan Presidential Commission on Election Administration called for voter list maintenance to improve the voter registration rolls.  Yet liberals have regularly fought against efforts to clean up voter rolls.

Obama's Feds Tried to Hack Indiana's Election System While Pence Was Governor.  Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officials tried to hack Indiana's state electoral system with at least 14,800 "scans" or hits between Nov. 1, 2016, to Dec. 16, 2016, The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group has learned.  The attacks are the second confirmed IT scanning assault by DHS officials against states that resisted then-President Barack Obama's attempt to increase federal involvement in state and local election systems by designating them as "critical infrastructure" for national security.

Judicial Watch Presents Evidence Of Voter Fraud.  Does voter fraud exist?  President Trump certainly believes it does, and now government watchdog group Judicial Watch has convened a panel focusing on a variety of different so-called "irregularities" which may contribute to fraud in the election system including things as simple as outdated voting lists, says Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.  "There's a major crisis in that regard because there are many states across the country major states like California where our analysis shows up to 20 percent of the roles aren't clean.  In my view when you have dirty voting roles you have dirty elections," Fitton explains.

Repeal the Left's Motor Voter Law:  It is breaking up immigrant families.  The Usual Suspects of the left are strangely silent as a legal immigrant, a mother of three American-born children, married to an American citizen, faces deportation.  The reasons are twofold.  Margarita Del Pilar Fitzpatrick committed a crime that the left insists never happens: illegal voting by a non-citizen.  Mrs. Fitzpatrick now faces deportation, and separation from her husband and children, unless they can obtain residency in her native Peru, thanks to the left.

Hundreds of Texans may have voted improperly.  Officials in Texas acknowledge that hundreds of people were able to bypass voter ID laws and improperly cast ballots in the presidential election.  Voters were able to sign a sworn statement instead of showing ID.  The chief election officers in two of Texas' largest counties are considering whether to refer cases to prosecutors for possible charges.

Nearly 2 million non-citizen Hispanics illegally registered to vote.  A large number of non-citizen Hispanics, as many as 2 million, were illegally registered to vote in the U.S., according to a nationwide poll.  The National Hispanic Survey provides additional evidence for use by anti-voter fraud conservatives and bolsters an analysis by professors at Old Dominion University who say non-citizens registered and voted in potentially large numbers.  President Trump has announced he will appoint a task force on voter fraud headed by Vice President Mike Pence.  He says he wants the investigation to focus on inaccurate voter registration rolls, which are maintained by the states and the District of Columbia.

GOP Missing the Real Elephant in the Room.  [Scroll down]  Where to start?  How about President Obama's admonition to Donald Trump last October, when Mrs. Clinton was on her way to a landslide electoral victory and Mr. Trump was headed back to reality TV.  Trump claimed that the election was rigged against him.  Obama advised Trump, "Stop whining and go try to make his case to get votes."  Which he did.  Going further, Mr. Obama added that there was, "no serious person" who would suggest it was possible to rig American elections.  I presume this statement included the Russians.  Yet to Senator Corker, there is still concern that Russia "hacked" the election.

Dem FEC Commissioner Potentially Violated Federal Ethics Laws With Trump Demand.  A Democratic Federal Elections Commission official may have violated federal ethics laws in her quest to have President Donald Trump provide proof that voter fraud occurred in New Hampshire during the 2016 elections, experts say.  FEC Commissioner Ellen Weintraub, who has for days called on Trump to prove his claim that he and former Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte lost in New Hampshire due to voter fraud, released an official statement Feb. 10 asking Trump to substantiate the scheme.

Value of our vote drops with same-day registration.  Last fall the ACLU sued on behalf of three people who missed the state's deadline to register, demanding they be allowed to vote in the November election.  The judge promptly granted them the option to cast provisional ballots, which are only counted after being verified.  Unfortunately, the legal action did not end there.  The commonwealth is now being sued for even having a deadline for registering to vote.  Simply put, the ACLU wants same-day registration.

ABC, CNN, Washington Post can't find evidence of vote fraud that a 9-year old could using Google.  The problem for these big brains is that a 9-year old using Google could raise enough questions about systematic, rampant vote fraud to completely legitimize Miller.  Here's a starter kit for the  idiots  reporters on the Left:
  •   On hidden camera, an authority on the subject — Democrat election commissioner Alan Schulkin from New York City — admitted that "there's a lot of voter fraud... they bus people around to vote"
  •   In the 2014 publication of Election Studies Journal, the authors estimate that 2.8 million illegal aliens voted in both the 2008 and 2010 elections
  •   In just three Virginia counties, more than 1,000 illegal voters are eligible to cast a ballot
  •   California's Los Angeles county reported the most provisional ballots — the easiest to game — in the country, representing a stunning 40 percent of all votes cast.

Illegal Alien Voter Convicted in Texas is Tip of the Iceberg.  Unfortunately, when it comes to voter fraud, when you catch one crook, it usually means there are hundreds more hiding in the darkness.  When it comes to aliens voting, it's more like thousands and thousands.  And yes, there is evidence of large numbers of aliens getting on American voter rolls for anyone who cares to look, as we shall see.

Think tank backs Trump, says large number of non-citizens vote illegally.  A small research group has entered the debate on voter fraud, siding with academics who estimate that large numbers of noncitizens illegally register and vote in U.S. elections.  Just Facts, founded in New Jersey 20 years ago by a Brown-educated mechanical engineer, released its findings as President Trump was setting up a task force on voter fraud headed by Vice President Mike Pence.  "Contrary to the claims of certain major media outlets and fact checkers, a comprehensive analysis of polling data, election records and government investigations shows that many noncitizens vote illegally in U.S. elections," Just Facts President James D. Agresti told The Washington Times.

Top Trump aide says White House has 'enormous evidence' of voter fraud.  President Trump's assertions about widespread voter fraud in the 2016 elections re-emerged this weekend, with a top Trump adviser saying Sunday the White House has provided "enormous evidence" to support claims while still producing no evidence.  "The White House has provided enormous evidence with respect to voter fraud, with respect to people being registered in more than one state," White House policy adviser Stephen Miller told ABC's "This Week," amid calls for Trump to provide evidence for his claim.

Washington Post demonstrates importance of voter ID laws.  Little agitates Democrats more than claims of voter fraud.  Such fraud is a hardy perennial of American politics.  Our history is full of examples, such as Mayor Daley's Chicago.  Yet, Democrats want us to believe that, notwithstanding solid evidence to the contrary, it's not a problem in modern American politics.  The reason is obvious.  Democrats don't want laws and procedures to protect against voter fraud because they want to preserve their ability to engage in it.

Mexican Woman Is Sentenced to 8 Years for Voter Fraud.  Rosa Maria Ortega's mug should be made into a poster warning about voter fraud and plastered near every polling place in America.  There's nothing like hard time in the big house to show a government's seriousness about a crime — and voter fraud needs to be prioritized, particularly when the perp is a moocher illegal alien.  Mexicans do not have America's best interests at heart.

Mexican woman in Texas sentenced to 8 years in prison for voter fraud.  Rosa Maria Ortega, 37, was found guilty Wednesday [2/8/2017] on two counts of illegal voting after she falsely claimed to be a United States citizen and voted at least five times between 2012 and 2014.  A jury sentenced her Thursday [2/9/2017] to eight years in prison and a $5,000 fine. [...] According to Fox 4 News, Ortega's identity came into question after she tried to register to vote twice in Tarrant County.  Both applications were denied.  She had voted in five elections in Dallas before her registration was canceled in April 2015.

Lawyer: Pro-Trump mindset behind 8-year voter fraud sentence.  Rosa Maria Ortega, 37, was convicted in Fort Worth this week on two felony counts of illegal voting over allegations that she improperly cast a ballot five times between 2005 and 2014.  Her attorney, Clark Birdsall, said Friday that Ortega was a permanent resident who was brought to the U.S. as a baby and mistakenly thought she was eligible to vote.

The Editor says...
I wonder how many others have the same mistaken notion eligibility, and I wonder who gave them the idea.

Grand Prairie Woman Sentenced to 8 Years in Prison for Voter Fraud.  A Grand Prairie woman who was found guilty on two counts of illegal voting has been sentenced to eight years in prison along with a $5,000 fine on Thursday.  Rosa Maria Ortega was arrested in 2015.  She is a legal U.S. resident, but is not a citizen and therefore, not qualified to vote.

Trump was right!  Presidential electoral fraudsters who voted twice set to face prosecution.  Donald Trump's fears that his presidential election was riddled with fraud have been confirmed as a US state elections bureau reveals a mismatch in ballots cast and the number of voters.  According to State elections director Chris Thomas, at least 31 people in Michigan voted twice during last year's US presidential election.  Thomas said the names of those accused have been passed onto the Attorney General's office and will face charges.

Early and often? 31 people voted twice in Michigan election.  At least 31 people in Michigan could face felony charges for voting twice during last November's presidential election.  Chris Thomas, state elections director, said the residents voted twice, first with an absentee ballot and then in person.  Their names were turned over to the attorney general's office for possible prosecution.  Voting twice, or even attempting to do so, is a felony.  "It's not acceptable," Thomas said.  Fourteen of the 31 were in Detroit.

Liberals Now Getting a Taste of How the Obama Years Felt for Conservatives.  Voter fraud?  Now you're talking Mom and apple pie to the Alinsky left.  Obama himself never bothered to win a real election in Illinois, always managing to blackmail his opponents into resigning before the vote was ever taken.  Obama learned his politics under the tutelage of Emil Jones, the godfather of the Illinois machine.  There are hundreds of jokes about the dear departed voting for Democrats in Boston, Chicago, Philly, and New York.  Today we have millions of illegal voters — foreign nationals with unknown loyalties — voting wherever paid Democrat thugs can intimidate the wrong American voters.

Trump's Got a Big Job Reining In Voter Fraud.  Fraud long has been an ugly element of American politics, and it has been almost exclusively the dominion of Democrats.  From the reckless corruption of the Boss Tweed and the Tammany Hall thugs in New York during the mid-1800s through the heavy-handed precinct politics favored by Mayor Richard J. Daley and his successors in Chicago during much of the 20th century, to the wide-spread graft of today, the Democratic Party has virtually sole claim to the mechanisms of election corruption.  The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), of which former President Barack Obama has had a close working association and heavy funding for his campaign coffers, has a 40-year rap sheet of widespread voter registration fraud.  Untold thousands who went to their just rewards years ago are resurrected on each election day to cast one more ballot for their favorite Democrat pol, while an estimated 2.8 million are registered to vote in more than one state and often do.

Mexican National On Trial for Alleged Illegal Voting.  The Texas Attorney General and a Texas county are putting a Mexican national on trial Monday.  Her alleged crime: illegally voting in two Texas elections.  The 37-year-old woman, Rosa Maria Ortega, was indicted in November 2015 for the crime of "Illegal Voting."  She is now facing trial for the offense — a felony in Texas.

Trump taps Mike Pence to lead panel investigating mass voter fraud.  President Trump has chosen Vice President Mike Pence to head up a commission investigating unsubstantiated claims of mass voter fraud in the 2016 election.  The president made the announcement in an interview with Fox News host Bill O'Reilly that aired Sunday, televised just hours before the Super Bowl sporting event.  "I'm going to set up a commission to headed by Vice President Mike Pence and we're going to look at it very, very carefully," the president told O'Reilly.

Voter registration requires reform.  On several occasions since winning the election, President Trump has claimed that millions of votes were cast illegally in the 2016 election.  He cites no reliable evidence.  Numerous studies have found organized voter fraud rare.  Trump seems to conflate voter fraud with voter registration fraud.  They are different things.  Voting is a two-step process.  First, one registers to vote, then one casts a ballot.  The first step needs reform to ensure the integrity of the second.  People often register through voter registration drives organized by groups that pay their employees per sign-up.  This creates an incentivize for those employees to fill out fraudulent registrations.

Evidence mounts that non-citizens voting is a problem.  Despite denials by Democratic Party officials, Donald Trump may be correct in stating that there may be widespread voter fraud in California.  Votes from felons, dead people, and non-citizens may be rife in California, acording [sic] to one report.

Donald Trump and the Media's Vote Fraud Denialists.  The story was a big one in the Philadelphia of the day.  Young Bruce Marks, a Republican, had run for a state senate vacancy in the City of Brotherly Love the previous fall of 1993.  He lost a very narrow race to a Democrat named William Stinson.  But there was something fishy about the loss.  An investigation was had.  Marks took Stinson to federal court. [...] In other words, the Election Commissioners in the City of Philadelphia gave absentee ballots — by the hundreds — to Stinson campaign workers.  Not to requesting voters, but to campaign workers.  Workers who then proceeded to fill out the ballots for their candidate — which is to say forging them — and then handing them back to the Election Board.  The entire operation was rigged from start to finish.

At Least 25 Million Dead and Fraudulent "Registered Voters" in 2016.  Illegal alien voters combined with dead and "multiple state" voters could easily explain Clinton's "popular vote" margin over Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election, especially considering that her "victory" came from Democratic-controlled counties known for illegal immigration and loose voter ID laws such as in New York and California.  "A report by the Pew Center on the States finds that more than 1.8 million dead people are currently registered to vote, and 24 million registrations are either invalid or inaccurate," NPR reported in 2012, which is ironic given how NPR is heavily controlled by Democrats.  And many of the dead, registered voters somehow keep voting Democrat from beyond the grave, most recently in Philadelphia, Penn. and Colorado.

Study: Hillary Clinton Received 800,000 Votes From-Non Citizens In 2016.  Hillary Clinton received as many as 800,000 votes from noncitizens on November 8th according to a new study.  The study bolsters President Trump's claims that a significant number of illegal votes may have skewed the results of the 2016 election.  The study was conducted by a team of political scientists at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia.

Voter Fraud Truth.  A full-scale, non-partisan federal voter fraud investigation is long overdue.  I'm not aware of any systematic federal investigation of voter fraud — ever.  Initially, such an investigation would be a simple matter of analyzing voter registration databases against federal databases of aliens and deceased individuals.  Judicial Watch's Election Integrity team, headed up by Robert Popper, former deputy chief of the Voting Section in the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice, would be more than happy to help.

Illegal Aliens Really Do Vote - A Lot.  The brutal truth is that illegal aliens vote, and in large numbers.  Voter fraud is not exclusive to illegal aliens.  There are also legal aliens (green card, H1B visas, tourist visa holders, etc.) who vote illegally.  And it's not just Latin Americans.  The non-citizen demographic includes South Asian tech workers, Irish overstays, West and Horn of Africa immigrants, and Asian students.  Then there are dual-state voters (college kids, snowbirds, transients), reincarnated voters, and un-purged voters long moved from their precincts.  While few cases are prosecuted, it's not because few crimes are committed.  Political pressure from Democrats and the cowardly establishment, open-borders Republicans, precludes rigorous enforcement.  The United States Attorney in Virginia refused to prosecute such cases in several Northern Virginia counties.  The Democratic Party Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Elections refused to release any information on illegal alien registrations.

Why Do Democrats Fear Trump's Probe of "Fake" Voter Fraud?  This impending probe follows Trump's private remarks to congressional leaders Monday night [1/23/2017] that some 3 to 5 million illegal ballots cost him the popular vote last November 8.  Democrats, in response, are foaming at their mouths, although one wonders if they have any foam left.  How odd.  They should welcome this examination.  If voter fraud really is a fevered, baseless, Right-wing fantasy, as they reliably insist, this investigation will vindicate them and make Trump look like a cranky, paranoid conspiracist.  Liberals should smile and egg Trump on.

Trump argument bolstered:  Clinton received 800,000 votes from noncitizens, study finds.  Hillary Clinton garnered more than 800,000 votes from noncitizens on Nov. 8, an approximation far short of President Trump's estimate of up to 5 million illegal voters but supportive of his charges of fraud.  Political scientist Jesse Richman of Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, has worked with colleagues to produce groundbreaking research on noncitizen voting, and this week he posted a blog in response to Mr. Trump's assertion.  Based on national polling by a consortium of universities, a report by Mr. Richman said 6.4 percent of the estimated 20 million adult noncitizens in the U.S. voted in November.  He extrapolated that that percentage would have added 834,381 net votes for Mrs. Clinton, who received about 2.8 million more votes than Mr. Trump.  Mr. Richman calculated that Mrs. Clinton would have collected 81 percent of noncitizen votes.

Did Donald Trump Carry Minnesota?  Voter fraud is in the news again, with President Trump vowing an investigation and the liberal media assuring us that voter fraud does not exist.  My question is always:  why are they so confident that there is little or no fraud, when so few efforts are made to look for it?  Here in Minnesota, there is no possible way for anyone to know how much voter fraud occurred last November.  Minnesota is a same-day registration state, and more than 500,000 voters register on the day of a presidential election.  The Minnesota Voters Alliance explains why that is a problem.

Illegals Did Vote In November, And Trump Is Right To Investigate.  Shortly after the election, Trump said that he would have won the popular vote — which he lost by nearly 3 million votes — if it weren't for "millions of illegal voters."  That sent the mainstream press into a fit of apoplexy, with journalist and left-wing activists denouncing Trump's claim as pure fabrication from a sore winner.  They went into another rage when Trump restated the claim in a meeting with lawmakers this week.

California's Recipe for Voter Fraud on a Massive Scale.  The media have exhibited a pathological determination to ignore any possibility of voter fraud, in spite of mountains of evidence to the contrary.

Hillary Clinton could have received 835,000 votes from non-citizens, political scientist claims.  While nowhere near the 3 to 5 million people President Donald Trump has claimed voted illegally in the 2016 election, there is a study that suggests 835,000 votes toward rival Hillary Clinton could have come from non-citizens.  The work comes from Jesse Richman, a political scientist from Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia.  In 2014, Richman co-authored a voter fraud study using data from the Cooperative Congressional Election Study, an opt-in online poll that asks respondents their citizenship status.

On the other hand...
Trump's Call for Voter Fraud Investigation Based on Misquoted Research.  Donald Trump's claim that 3-5 million illegal votes were cast in the election has been criticized by the media as a "lie."  Press Secretary Sean Spicer responded to that criticism by citing a Pew Research study and a recent paper by a professor at Old Dominion University (ODU) as proof that an investigation is warranted.  But now the ODU professor, Jesse Richman, is demanding that the White House stop misquoting his study.  And it turns out the research by Pew was on problems with voter registration and not on voter fraud.

NAACP Pledges to 'Resist' Trump Voter Fraud Investigation.  If the political left operated with the least bit of restraint, they would manhandle President Trump in the media.  He offers them plenty of opportunities to engage in rheotrical [sic] jujitsu, to simply sidestep and redirect his attacks in their favor.  But they lack the discipline.  They can't help but respond to anything Trump says or does with something even crazier and more outlandish.

GOP Congressman:  Donald Trump's Voter Fraud Investigation 'Undermines the Constitution'.  Republican Illinois Congressman Adam Kinzinger charged on CNN's New Day Friday [1/27/2017] that President Donald Trump was undermining America's electoral system and Constitution by calling for a review of voter rolls in search of evidence for massive voter fraud.  "This basically undermines the idea of an election, this undermines the Constitution," said Kinzinger, a frequent critic of Trump's policy who refused to endorse him during the election.  "Just as I was upset about the Russian hacking because it's an attack on the election system of our constitution, I don't like this," he continued.  [Video clip]

Voter fraud uncovered in every state.  Following President Donald Trump's declaration Wednesday [1/25/2017] that he is ordering an investigation into suspicions of widespread voter fraud, the mainstream media has been whipped into a frenzy.  Democratic lawmakers and media talking heads are foaming at the mouth, attacking Trump's concerns as a debunked myth, a conspiracy theory, a rumor that is unsubstantiated and unfounded.  But they're not being honest.  There is widespread voter fraud — and it's happened in your state.  The Horn News dug up the proof the media ignoring, and found examples of voter fraud convictions, election investigations, polling irregularities, dead voters, and, yes, entire elections decided by widespread voter fraud.

Heritage: Need evidence of voter fraud?  We got it.  The president stated on Wednesday that an investigation will look for individuals registered to vote in more than one state, adding in his tweet that it includes "those who are illegal and even those registered to vote who are dead (and many apparently for a long time)."  Trump added that "depending on results, we will strengthen up voting procedures."  Some media reports denounced and mocked the president's move, describing allegations of voter fraud as "unsubstantiated" and "baseless."  Reporters have all but dared Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, to prove his boss's allegations in recent days but Hans Von Spakovsky, a senior legal fellow at The Heritage Foundation, says Trump's decision to investigate is long overdue.

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.

Why Trump's probe of voter fraud is long overdue.  [J]ust last week, President Obama told a whopper at his last news conference that went almost completely unnoticed, much less criticized.  He promised he would continue to fight voter-ID laws and other measures designed to improve voting integrity.  The U.S. is "the only country among advanced democracies that makes it harder to vote," he claimed.  This is demonstrably false.  All industrialized democracies — and most that are not — require voters to prove their identity before voting.

Report: 'Substantial Evidence' Over a Million Illegal Aliens Voted in 2016.  Voter fraud in America is a bigger problem than many want to admit.  Media figures, politicians, your average Democrat — all say there's nothing to worry about.  And when someone brings up the concern that millions are voting illegally, they're written off as paranoid.

Chaffetz on voter fraud: 'I don't see any evidence'.  House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) said he has not witnessed any signs of the national voting fraud that President Trump has claimed.  "On the voter fraud issue, that really happens at the county level," he told reporters Wednesday, according to CNN.  "I don't see any evidence." "But the president has 100,000 people at the Department of Justice, and if he wants to have an investigation, have at it," Chaffetz added at the congressional Republican retreat in Philadelphia.  "I just don't see any evidence of it."

Did German golfer stoke Trump's voter fraud concerns?  President Trump is using a story about a German golfer trying to vote in the U.S. elections to illustrate his concerns about massive voter fraud.  In a meeting with top congressional leaders Monday, Trump told a story about how the "very famous golfer" Bernhard Langer was in line at a polling place near his home in Florida on Election Day.  An election official informed Langer he would not be able to vote, three people who were in the room for the story told the New York Times.

Catherine Engelbrecht:  "Voter Fraud is Institutionalized".  For those who don't know Catherine Engelbrecht, she has been the tip of the spear on voting integrity since 2008.  Catherine, along with thousands of other people, was a direct target of the weaponized IRS following the assembly of various Tea Party groups in 2009/2010.  Mrs Engelbrecht has delivered passionate testimony to congress.  In addition, Engelbrecht was also illegally singled out for specific investigation by House Committee Chairman Elijah Cummings for her "true the vote" efforts.  Few people know the depth of voter fraud, and the various issues within intentional vote manipulation, with as much insight.

Donald Trump Confronting Voter Fraud Denial.  President Trump is about to destroy the P.C. thought police who say interest in valid elections is racist and that claims of fraud are nuts.  Fox Radio News yesterday joined the liberal media meltdown.  Driving home, I heard the afternoon news claiming that Fox knows of no studies supporting Trump's claims of widespread voter fraud.  They must be relying on Google searches instead of reading conservative websites.  Tell me Fox reporters don't read the Wall St. Journal or National Review, which have been publishing alarming columns by the voter fraud expert John Fund for years.  No surprise — Fox reporters know less than the readers of AT.

Flashback: WaPo Publishes Study That Claims Millions of Illegal Aliens Vote.  The Worst People In the World (our media) are choosing to completely ignore a 2014 study that claimed millions of illegals might indeed be voting.  This is not some crank study.  No less than the leftwing Washington Post found it worthy enough to publish just a little over two years ago.

Trump Says Millions Voted Illegally.  Is He Right?  The latest controversy involving President Donald Trump is his latest statement that millions of people voted illegally and it cost him the popular vote.  The media is enraged, running "fact-checks" claiming that it's another example of Trump's "alternative facts."  Who is right?  Per usual, the answer seems to be somewhere in the middle:  Trump is correct that there were likely millions of illegal votes but not to the point where it lost him the popular vote.

Trump tells Congressional leaders 3-5 million 'illegals' cost him popular vote.  President Donald Trump claimed at a meeting with congressional leaders Monday that he lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton in last November's election because between three million and five million "illegals" cast ballots, multiple sources told Fox News.

Trump says he will launch wide-ranging national voter fraud investigation.  President Donald Trump wrote Wednesday morning on Twitter that he will launch a major federal investigation to determine the pervasiveness of voter fraud in the United States.  The move comes less than 24 hours after White House press secretary Sean Spicer defended Trump's oft-repeated claim that millions of people cast ballots illegally in November.

Why are so many media people puzzled that Trump keeps bringing up illegal votes?  We simply do not know how much vote fraud there is because nobody takes the trouble to investigate how much there is.  When a voter presents himself at the polls or requests an absentee ballot, there is no automatic search to discover if the person is a legitimate voter.  The very act of asking for voter ID is considered discriminatory by many, including some in the courts.  California has adopted a system for granting voter registration to people receiving drivers' licenses.  If the applicants don't specify illegal alien status at the time, they receive a license that entitles them to register and vote.  Even if they do specify that they are here illegally, they still get a license where the distinction is hard to see.  Illegal aliens aside, there is the question of people voting under the name of other people, especially the dead who have not been purged from voting rolls.

There is Evidence to Back (At Least Some of) Trump's Illegal Voting Claims.  CNN's Jake Tapper, and many other pundits, assert there is "no evidence" to support Trump's belief about a large number of illegal votes cast in the election.  As a trial lawyer, our method of assessing the factual basis of a claim differs from some in the press:  what would admissible evidence look like to support each side of a claim if tried to a jury under the rules of evidence?  Answer?  Trump actually has some evidence on his side.

Trump to ask for 'major investigation into voter fraud'.  President Trump on Wednesday said he will launch a "major" investigation to look into voter fraud in the country.  "I will be asking for a major investigation into VOTER FRAUD, including those registered to vote in two states, those who are illegal and....even, those registered to vote who are dead (and many for a long time)," the president tweeted Wednesday morning [1/25/2017].

Study Claims Up To 2.8 Million Non-Citizens Voted In 2008.  Somewhere between 38,000 and almost 2.8 million non-citizens voted in the 2008 elections, according to a study published in Electoral Studies journal in 2014.  Old Dominion University professors Jesse Richman and David Earnest, the study's co-authors, concluded that "some non-citizens participate in U.S. elections, and that this participation has been large enough to change meaningful election outcomes including Electoral College votes, and Congressional elections."

Democrats And Republicans Unite To Rescind Last-Minute Obama Order Seeking Federal Election Takeover.  All 50 state secretaries of state are urging the Trump administration to rescind a last-minute Department of Homeland Security directive calling state election systems "critical infrastructure."  Many state officials fear this is the first step toward a federal takeover of state-run elections, The Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.  While deep political discord may be found on other issues, state secretaries — who oversee all election machinery — appear completely united against the former administration's attempt to insert the federal government into state-run elections.

Trump told leaders 'illegals' cost him popular vote.  President Trump's first White House meeting with congressional leaders was, by all accounts, a cordial affair.  But Trump apparently couldn't resist taking a jab across the aisle, telling the gathering of bipartisan leaders that he'd lost the popular vote only because of rampant voter fraud by "illegals," according to a pair of sources familiar with the conversation.

Abbott to probe bragging poll workers' election day admissions 'tons of non-citizens' illegally voting in Texas.  Texas Governor Greg Abbott promised an investigation after an undercover Project Veritas video showed election officials admitting "tons" of non-citizens were voting in Texas.  The Project Veritas video caught the attention of the Republican governor who vowed to get to the bottom of what appeared to be election officials encouraging non-citizens to vote.

More Detroit Voting "Irregularities": 95 Poll Books "Missing" For Days; 5 Still Nowhere To Be Found.  Last night [12/14/2016] we noted that Team Hillary, which was supportive of Jill Stein's recount efforts, should be careful what they wish for.  New data released yesterday revealed that voting machines in 37% of all Detroit precincts, which skew heavily democratic, registered more votes than they had of actual voters showing up at the polls.  The scale of the "voting irregularities" discovered prompted an automatic vote audit by the Michigan Secretary of State, Ruth Johnson.  Today, we learn from the Detroit News, to our "complete surprise," that the "voting irregularity" rabbit hole in Detroit is a bit deeper than initially thought.

Detroit's election woes: 782 more votes than voters.  Whether the result of machine malfunction, human error or even fraud, the unexplained voting discrepancies in Detroit last month were not sizable enough to affect the outcome in Michigan of the presidential election, according to a new Free Press analysis of voting precinct records.  In 248 precincts, there were a total of 782 more votes tabulated by voting machines than the number of voters listed as picking up ballots in the precincts' poll books.  That makes up just three-tenths of 1% of the total 248,211 votes that were logged in Detroit for the presidential election.

Judge Napolitano:  Election Fraud in Detroit Looks 'Organized, and Government Involved'.  Jill Stein's recount efforts in Michigan have uncovered what looks like systemic election fraud in Detroit, where roughly 95% of the votes cast were cast for Hillary Clinton.  Sixty percent of precincts in Wayne County had to be disqualified from the statewide recount because of "irregularities."  According to Fox News judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano, those irregularities look "organized" and "government involved."  County records prepared at the request of The Detroit News after ballot irregularities were discovered revealed that 37 percent of Detroit precincts registered more votes than voters during the election.

It's Official:  Clinton's Popular Vote Win Came Entirely From California.  To those unschooled in how the United States selects presidents, this seems totally unfair.  But look more closely at the numbers and you see that Clinton's advantage all but disappears.  As we noted in this space earlier, while Clinton's overall margin looks large and impressive, it is due to Clinton's huge margin of victory in one state — California — where she got a whopping 4.3 million more votes than Trump.  California is the only state, in fact, where Clinton's margin of victory was bigger than President Obama's in 2012 — 61.5% vs.  Obama's 60%.  But California is the exception that proves the true genius of the Electoral College — which was designed to prevent regional candidates from dominating national elections.

The Myth of Hillary's Popular Vote 'Victory'.  Everyone knows that Democrats are the kings of voter fraud.  The dead are regular voters in Chicago for example.  Similarly, it's not an accident that California gave drivers licenses to illegals in early 2016 and Obama told illegals that it was safe for them to vote right before the election.  A study of the 2008 and 2010 elections shows significant voting by illegals.  Take away California and Hillary's popular vote "victory" disappears.  Those states where there are strong movements to let illegals vote, which includes California and New York, went heavily for Hillary.  That indicates that voter fraud may have played a more significant role than liberals will admit.  No one knows for sure how many people illegally voted, but we can be sure that they voted for Hillary.  As a result, no one can say for sure that absent illegal votes Hillary would still have won the popular vote.

Griping about the popular vote?  Get over it.  What an outrage:  On Sunday, the National Football League awarded the Tennessee Titans a win over the Denver Broncos because they scored more points, even though the Broncos got more total yards than the Titans.  Of course, this is a ridiculous complaint — but not much more ridiculous than the gripes we're hearing about the fact that Donald Trump is president-elect even though Hillary Clinton got 48.2 percent of the total votes cast vs. 46.1 percent for Trump.  Her 2.8 million popular-vote margin is one of the largest for the electoral-college loser in American history, or will be, once the electoral votes are officially cast on Monday.  Still, it is fallacious to invoke this statistical byproduct of Nov. 8 to question the legitimacy of Trump's victory — as opposed to that victory's desirability, which is questionable indeed.

Report: Too many votes registered in Detroit precincts.  Voting machines in 37 percent of Detroit's precincts registered too many votes in the presidential election last month, the Detroit News reported Tuesday [12/143/2016].  Records from Wayne County show optical scanners in 248 of the city's 662 precincts registered more ballots than the number of votes tallied in the poll books.  The city's voting irregularities prompted a call for an audit by Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson's office, according to the publication.

Detroit Voting Machines Registered More Votes than Voters — State Officials Request Audit.  Anyone who watched the election on November 8th knows exactly what was going on.  When it became clear Michigan was leaning toward Donald Trump, Wayne County (Detroit) was late reporting, everyone was watching.  Now reports are surfacing that Detroit had more votes counted than people who actually came out to vote.  More than half (60%) of the precincts in Detroit have been found to contain more votes than voters.

Records: Too many votes in 37% of Detroit's precincts.  Voting machines in more than one-third of all Detroit precincts registered more votes than they should have during last month's presidential election, according to Wayne County records prepared at the request of The Detroit News.  Detailed reports from the office of Wayne County Clerk Cathy Garrett show optical scanners at 248 of the city's 662 precincts, or 37 percent, tabulated more ballots than the number of voters tallied by workers in the poll books.  Voting irregularities in Detroit have spurred plans for an audit by Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson's office, Elections Director Chris Thomas said Monday [12/12/2016].

Michigan to audit 'significant' mismatches in Detroit vote.  Michigan's elections bureau ordered an investigation Monday into substantial ballot discrepancies in a small portion of Detroit's voting precincts, after the discovery of a polling place where 300 people voted but only 50 ballots were properly sealed in a container. [...] Many precincts could not be recounted, however — in Detroit and elsewhere — because the number of ballots in a sealed container did not match the number of voter names recorded in the poll book.  In such cases, the election night totals stood.

The Editor says...
If the voting machine says 300 people voted, but the bin only contains 50 ballots, that almost certainly means 250 votes were fabricated by repeatedly running ballots through the counter.  This explains why there can be massive over-counts, but examination of the machines reveals nothing out of the ordinary.

Hillary Didn't 'Win' Majority of the Popular Vote.  Right now, Clinton leads Trump 48/46 in the popular vote.  Is that a majority?  No, it's a plurality.  Clinton didn't win the majority of the popular vote, and the majority of Americans didn't vote for her.  The majority did think she was a liar, dishonest, and untrustworthy, which probably explains why she wasn't able to break through with voters and energize them in the same manner as the president-elect.  Moreover, the popular vote isn't how we decide who is president.

Fake News, Fake ID - Insuring Voter Fraud.  This is getting confusing: was it fake news that caused Hillary to lose, or was it real news dispersed by Russian hackers?  They're not mutually exclusive of course.  The story that Russian hackers tried to help Trump win may itself be fake news — started by the New York Times and ended by the Washington Post, two of our best fake news sites.

Thanks, Jill:  Michigan House passes voter-ID bill after vote-fraud hyperbole.  Jill Stein didn't get the recount she wanted in Michigan, but she did get the state to take vote-integrity issues seriously.  Meeting in its lame-duck session, the state House of Representatives passed a tough voter-ID bill that includes $3 million for funding of free state identification and birth certificates after over 18,000 voters cast ballots without identification in the presidential election.

Half Of Detroit Could Be Ineligible For Election Recount Due To Discrepancies.  Over half of Detroit's 662 voting precincts may be ineligible for the ongoing Michigan recount, since the number of ballots in precinct poll books do not match those from voting machine printout reports.  More than a third of precincts in Wayne County, Michigan's largest county and home to Detroit, could be disqualified from the statewide recount because county officials, "couldn't reconcile vote totals for 610 of 1,680 precincts during a countywide canvass of vote results late last month," according to the Detroit News.  Wayne County has over 1.7 million residents and voted overwhelmingly for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, at 95 percent.

Michigan's Vote Irregularities Favored Democrats.  The left has consistently pushed the idea that voter fraud is either fictitious or so insignificant that it would never affect the outcome of an election.  Unfortunately, as the nation takes a much closer look at the results of the 2016 presidential election, it has become quite obvious that this is not the case, and that voter fraud never seems to behoove republicans. [...] These democrat-centric anomalies may become more apparent, accidentally, as Jill Stein continues to team up with the Clinton Campaign to push for frivolous and fruitless recounts of key battleground states.  The recounts have been widely panned as simple fundraising scams for the Green Party, or for Stein herself, and the results have been exclusively favorable to Donald Trump.

Vote Fraud in Michigan Favored Hillary Clinton, Not Trump.  The revelation is buried in a Guardian article which discusses broken voting machines in Detroit and one-third of surrounding Wayne County, where Hillary Clinton won in a landslide;  "Eighty-seven of Wayne County's decade-old voting machines broke on election day, according to Detroit's elections director, Daniel Baxter.  He told the Detroit News, which first reported the story, that ballot scanners often jammed when polling place workers were trying to operate them.  Every time a jammed ballot was removed and reinserted, he suspects the machine may have re-counted it."  In other words, in an area where the significant majority of people voted for Hillary Clinton, their votes may have been counted twice.  This means that Trump's margin of victory in Michigan may be even larger than the 10,704 votes initially recorded.

The Editor says...
Forgive me for being cynical, but how many times a day does a voting machine "jam?"  I suspect this is a cover story for the intentional recycling of ballots through the voting machines in an effort to fluff up the vote totals for the Democrats on the ballot.

Detroit Voter Fraud so Extensive Half of Initial Votes Ineligible for Recount.  If anyone thought a Michigan ballot recount was going to end up being a net positive for Hillary Clinton, they are intellectually disconnected from understanding the reality of how fraudulent the most democrat precincts are in Wayne County (Detroit) Michigan.  Election laws put into place specifically to protect the fraud, and ensure the manipulative discoveries are never identified, now mean the votes cannot be recounted.

Recanvass in major PA county shows no problem with ballot machines.  A recanvass of ballot machines in the second-most populous county in Pennsylvania resulted in no changes at all since Election Night, throwing the premise of Stein's lawsuit into serious practical doubt.  This won't satisfy Stein's supporters, which readers will see for themselves in this clip, but it might make a federal judge question the necessity of a recount in Pennsylvania that the state has rejected[.]

Nevada Voter Fraud Uncovered?  Worse Than Acorn.  Today [12/1/2016], Megan Barth interviewed Republican Assembly Candidate for District 15, Stan Vaughan, with actual proof of massive voter fraud in his Clark County district.  Vaughan brought into the NEWSMAXTV Las Vegas studio and laid it out for all to see, US postal service certified returned mail from 9,200 voters in District 15.  Many of the people who were listed as deceased are still on the active voter rolls today.  Many of the returned mail came back with 5 people living in a vacant lot with no mail receptacle.

Massive Voter Fraud Uncovered! Donald Trump Won Election By More Than We Thought!  Another day, another Hillary Clinton scandal.  It appears that Hillary Clinton did actually try to rig the election, but she couldn't even do that right.  There has been massive voter fraud discovered in Nevada.

Ex-ICE Agent:  I 'Routinely' Arrested Illegal Immigrants with Voter Registrations.  Voting by illegal immigrants is easy to do and is being done in the United States, a former ICE agent explained on "The O'Reilly Factor."  President-elect Donald Trump made headlines over the weekend with a tweet about his defeat to Hillary Clinton in the popular vote.

Illegal voting and what to do about it.  Donald Trump says that illegal voting may have put Hillary Clinton ahead of him in the popular vote.  Clinton leads Trump by around 2.5 million votes, so the president-elect's claim seems far-fetched.  However, as Hans von Spakovsky and John Fund explain in the Wall Street Journal, we simply don't know the extent of illegal voting in American elections.  Moreover, the Obama administration has done everything it can to keep it that way.  For example, the Obama Justice Department has refused to file a single lawsuit to enforce the requirement of the National Voter Registration Act that states maintain the accuracy of their voter-registration lists.  It has also opposed every effort by states — such as Kansas, Arizona, Alabama and Georgia — to verify the citizenship of those registering to vote.

California Republicans:  Online Registration Allows Voter Fraud.  The California Republican Party is considering taking legal action to force the State of California to adopt a more secure system for online voter registration, alleging that the current system is too lax and allows for potential voter fraud.  "The [California] secretary of state's website does not track the IP addresses of the people who register to vote," Harmeet Dhillon, a former state party official, told the Los Angeles Times.  "You could literally register hundreds or thousands of people from the same computer ... There is more security on the websites that I shopped on Black Friday than there is on the secretary of state's website."

The Historic Facts About Illegal Alien Voters.  According to a recent research study as many as 2.8 million illegal aliens voted in 2008 and 2012.

President-elect Donald J. Trump has been mocked for his tweeted claim that if it were not for illegal aliens voting, he might very well have won the popular as well as the electoral vote.  [...] Trump puts the number at several million.  Certainly the number is higher than one, considering the loosening of voting restrictions in recent years, from motor voter laws to same-day registration to handing out drivers licenses to illegal aliens.  It is in no way implausible to picture an illegal alien getting his driver's license and then marching to the polls to vote against a candidate who opposes such actions by government[.]  I would argue that in this context the efforts by Democrats to fight voting integrity efforts such as Voter ID requirements and purging the rolls of dead voters is designed to rig the system, as Trump might say, in their favor.  As Investors Business Daily noted in 2014, dead voters casting votes, illegal aliens voting, and people being registered to vote in multiple states is a common and documented occurrence[.]

Texas Republican Elector Resigns to Avoid Voting Trump.  A Texas Republican elector announced Saturday [11/26/2016] his decision to resign, concluding that to vote for Trump "would bring dishonor to God."  In a lengthy blog post, Art Sisneros explored the original intent of the Electoral College, the difference between a democracy and a republic, and explained his conscientious objection to voting for President-elect Donald Trump.

Look what we just discovered about liberals plan to OVERTURN the election.  While the election recount Jill Stein is pushing is extremely unlikely to find actual difference in the vote tally, it's going to cause a bit of a headache in what otherwise would be a smooth transition.  If states miss the deadline for certifying their electoral votes because they're going through a recount, their electoral votes are nullified unless Congress decides to count them.

Hillary's Last Gasp.  Hillary Clinton would have to win a clean sweep of recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania in order to overturn the election, and even her team concedes flipping one state is unlikely.  Nevertheless, the Clinton campaign is officially contesting the outcome of the 2016 presidential election.  There is no other way to describe joining Green Party candidate Jill Stein's effort to get recounts in the three states.  After the third presidential debate when Trump indicated he might not accept the outcome, Clinton said, "that is a direct threat to our democracy."  That's when she thought she would win.

More Than 800,000 Noncitizens May Have Voted in 2016 Election, Expert Says.  [Scroll down]  Beyond the noncitizens voting study from Old Dominion, Miller pointed to the Pew study from 2012 that found 24 million voter registration records in the United States, or about 1 in 8, were "significantly inaccurate or no longer valid."  The Pew study further found "1.8 million deceased individuals are listed as voters," that "12 million records contain an incorrect address," and that "2.75 million people have registrations in more than one state."  It would take a very high percentage of noncitizens voting to overcome the Clinton popular vote lead, said Steven Camarota, director of research for the Center for Immigration Studies, a think tank that favors strong immigration enforcement.

Trump claims 'millions' voted illegally for Hillary as he goes on Twitter tirade.  Donald Trump accused the media of ignoring 'serious' electoral fraud and claimed millions of illegal ballots cost him the popular vote on Sunday night — as he returned to Trump Tower amid growing acrimony over Hillary Clinton's lawyer's backing of a recount in Wisconsin.  The President-elect tweeted that there had been 'serious voter fraud' in Virginia, California and New Hampshire hours after claiming he would have won the popular vote had 'millions' of people not voted 'illegally'.

Wisconsin elections officials see no proof of hacking of voting machines.  The Wisconsin Elections Commission has found no evidence that any of its voting machines were hacked during the Nov. 8 election, a spokesman said Saturday [11/26/2016].  Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein on Friday filed a petition to have a state recount on the sole grounds that data experts believe there may have been a cyberattack.  They have no evidence, but contend that Democrat Hillary Clinton performed better where paper ballots, rather than electronic ones were used.

The Democrats' real strategy in launching recounts.  The recount in Wisconsin, and the coming ones in Michigan and Pennsylvania will not change the outcomes in any of the states.  No recount ever changes thousands of votes.  I do not think that is the purpose.  The recounts, if done by hand, which can be demanded, may take longer than the last day for completing the official counts in a state and directing Electoral College voters.  If all 3 states miss the deadline, Trump is at 260, Hillary at 232.  No one hits 270.  Then this goes to Congress, where the House voting 1 vote per state elects Trump, and Senate selects Pence.  This would be first time this happened since 1824, but in that case, John Quincy Adams won in the House, though he had fewer electoral college votes than Andrew Jackson.

Sorry, Hill and Jill:  Trump's Victory Margins Are Recount-Proof.  The quixotic left-wing push for recounts in a handful of midwestern states carried narrowly by Donald Trump three weeks ago continues apace.  Amid preposterous conspiracies about "hacked" results in Wisconsin, Hillary Clinton's camp has jumped aboard the bandwagon captained by failed Green Party candidate Jill Stein in that state.

Trump Wins Michigan by 10,704 Votes; Closest Race in Great Lake History.  In the closest race ever in Great Lake State history, the Michigan Secretary of State gave President-elect Donald Trump a 10,704 vote win over Hillary Clinton.  The call comes after the state's 83 county clerks on Tuesday submitted, posted and certified voting results by each county.  While People's Pundit Daily called it more than a week ago, the official results from the state were still in flux though the secretary said they did not expect the certification to change the outcome.  The addition of Michigan, one of three Rust Belt states in the so-called Blue Wall to fall to the New York businessman on Election Day, gives the winner 306 Electoral Votes.

Paul Krugman Illustrates The Damaged Political Psyches Of The Left.  Yes, it is surely "important to note" that there has been no "proof of hacking or manipulation."  But that doesn't go far enough by half:  there isn't even any evidence of such, except for some voting patterns that, as Nate Cohn points out, vanish when you control for certain variables.  Gabriel Sherman mixes up the cause and effect:  proof is demonstrated after an investigation, the latter of which is undertaken only on the basis of strong-enough evidence — which doesn't exist here (unless you're an aggrieved liberal pundit, I guess).  But the real story here isn't the wacky teeth-gnashing of the American Left, though that is quite a story in its own right.  No, the most astonishing aspect of the whole thing is that Paul Krugman could be swayed by such a flimsy and unsubstantiated accusation.

No, Hacking Did Not Cost Hillary Three Swing States.  [Scroll down]  As Shane Harris wrote, "[F]or hackers to have changed the votes in three states would have been even more surprising than Trump's victory."  Hillary would have to win all three of those states in order to change the election:  "There is zero evidence of tampering right now.  Zero," David Becker, the executive director of the Center for Election Innovation and Research, told The Daily Beast. [...] Harris stated that these hackers would have started very early in the election and have people literally on the ground in states that do not use machines by "infiltrating elections offices, and working up to Election Day if not on the day itself."  In other words, just accept the fact that Hillary was a horrible candidate and stop blaming others for the loss.

The Department of Justice is not going to conduct a vote audit based on your phoned-in outrage.  For supporters of Hillary Clinton, the post circulating on Facebook and Reddit offers hope.  The Justice Department, it claims, is "tallying calls" from people who want an audit of the 2016 election.  And given the small margins that Donald Trump won by in Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, a shift of about 55,000 votes is all that would be needed to change the outcome.  The problem is, it's bogus.  The Justice Department doesn't count up calls to determine whether it should launch an investigation.  And they will not initiate a national audit — or force particular states to recount their results — based on the volume of outrage they receive from voters.  "The Justice Department does not tally the number of callers to determine whether federal action is warranted," department spokesman David Jacobs said in a statement.  "Investigatory decisions are based solely on the facts and evidence as they relate to the federal statutes the department enforces."

DNC chair blames 'voter suppression' for losses as soul-searching begins.  The interim chair of the Democratic National Committee said Tuesday [11/22/2016] she has created an "advisory group" to look into what went so wrong for the party in the 2016 election, just four years after the GOP went through a similar post-election soul-searching.  Donna Brazile said the DNC is also rethinking whether superdelegates have had too much power in the Democratic nomination process after facing a barrage of criticism from grass-roots activists who thought the unelected officials played an outsize role in steering the nomination toward Hillary Clinton and away from Sen. Bernard Sanders of Vermont.

7 things Sessions can do immediately to restore the rule of law at Justice.  [#1] Clamp down on voter fraud:  There is nothing more critical to the rule of law and our democracy than having free and fair elections.  Federal judges, acting on lawsuits promoted by Obama's DOJ, have been misinterpreting statutes in order to prevent states from cleaning their rolls of dead, fraudulent, and non-citizen voters.  We are seeing those consequences play out now in the North Carolina governor's election.

Election Math.  Long-time election integrity advocate Bev Harris has noted the possibility of stealth tampering via the GEMS election management system, which currently tallies about 25% of the U.S. votes.  She has been recently raising concern about the addition of votes via fractional decimals, which are hidden in integer display.

Republican North Carolina governor claims he is a victim of voter fraud.  Democrats in North Carolina are urging the incumbent Republican governor, Pat McCrory, to concede defeat to Roy Cooper, who is officially ahead of him by just 6,600 votes in the hotly contested election.  Time appears to be running out for McCrory, who is claiming that the election was rigged and that voter fraud was the reason that he was behind in the tally, according to the Charlotte Observer.  The governor is contesting the final vote count in more than half of the 100 counties across North Carolina.

North Carolina governor race is still undeclared as Republicans say 'dead people and felons' were casting ballots'.  Ten days after the November 8 vote, the North Carolina governor's race is still undeclared, after Republican's allege that dead people and felons were casting ballots.  Republican Governor Pat McCrory, who is trailing Democratic challenger Roy Cooper by about 6,300 votes according to the state elections website Friday afternoon, has not conceded.  Under state law, Friday was the deadline for counties to certify their results.  But with the recent allegations, the outcome could be left in limbo for weeks.

Breaking: Illegal Immigrants Cast More Than 3 Million Votes In Presidential Election.  More than three million illegal immigrants cast votes in the U.S. presidential election, according to a report from VoteFraud.org. [...] Voter fraud had been a major concern heading into this election, especially after President Obama publicly declared that illegal immigrants could vote without fear of legal consequences.  Some even refer to Obama's statement as outright encouragement for illegal immigrants to get out and vote.

Voter Fraud Is Real. Here's The Proof.  In Colorado, multiple instances were found of dead people attempting to vote.  Stunningly, "a woman named Sara Sosa who died in 2009 cast ballots in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013."  In Virginia, it was found that nearly 20 voter applications were turned in under the names of dead people.  In Texas, authorities are investigating criminals who are using the technique of "vote harvesting" to illegally procure votes for their candidates.  "Harvesting" is the practice of illegally obtaining the signatures of valid voters in order to vote in their name without their consent for the candidate(s) the criminal supports.  These are just some instances of voter fraud we know about.  It would be silly to assume cases that have been discovered are the only cases of fraud.

Colorado voter fraud revealed:  Slew of ballots cast by the dead spark investigation.  A CBS affiliate's evidence of voter fraud in Colorado has sparked an immediate investigation by Secretary of State Wayne Williams.  Election sleuthing by Brian Maass of KCNC-TV in Denver exposed multiple instances in recent years where dead Coloradans were still voting.  A dead World War II veteran named John Grosso voted in a 2006 primary election, and a woman named Sara Sosa who died in 2009 cast ballots in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013.  Mrs. Sosa's husband Miguel died in 2008, but a vote was cast in his name one year later.

Investigation launched after dead people are registered to vote in Harrisonburg.  Harrisonburg officials and the FBI are investigating allegations of voter registration fraud after officials say almost 20 voter applications were turned in under the names of dead people.  Harrisonburg Registrar Debbie Logan said Thursday [9/29/2016] that investigators have found from 18 to 20 potentially fraudulent registrations.  The Rockingham County Commonwealth's Attorney's Office confirmed Thursday that an investigation is underway, but offered no additional details on the case.

Democrat Scheme to Run an Absentee Ballot Mill in NC Investigated.  The Bladen County Improvement Association PAC in North Carolina, a political-action committee funded by the N.C. Democrat Party and other prominent statewide Democrats, is under scrutiny due to potentially fraudulent absentee ballots cast for Democrat Roy Cooper and other Democrats, according to Governor Pat McCrory's campaign.  A formal protest was filed with the Bladen County Board of Elections to challenge several hundred absentee ballots, alleged to be fraudulent, by the Democratic PAC and others, and has also been filed in in [sic] 11 additional counties.

Noncitizens, Voting Violations and U.S. Elections.  Mass immigration has had a significant effect on American electoral politics.  Despite the fact that it is a crime for aliens to vote in federal elections, noncitizens and illegal aliens are counted when apportioning congressional districts.  This means that areas with large numbers of illegal alien residents gain additional representatives in Congress.  In addition, there is evidence that both foreign nationals who are lawfully present in the United States and illegal aliens have voted in recent elections.  During this election cycle, noncitizens have been discovered on voter registration rolls in both Virginia and Pennsylvania.  And the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of New York recently announced that it charged a Canadian woman with making a false claim to citizenship after she registered and voted in more than 20 elections.  Several past elections — for the presidency and other offices — have been extremely close.  Accordingly, ballots cast by noncitizen voters have the potential to improperly alter the outcome of elections.  Consider how close the 2000 presidential election was.  Could the outcome have been affected by noncitizen voting?  The answer is yes.

Voting Machine Problems Are Being Reported All Over America.  After what happened in the last election, people seem to be more alert to signs of potential election fraud this time around.  And right now the Internet is buzzing with reports of voting machine problems in some of the most important swing states.  In some areas officials were forced to make emergency switches to paper ballots due to voting machine issues, and in other cases voters that intended to vote for Donald Trump were having their votes registered for Hillary Clinton instead.  The mainstream media is insisting that these are "isolated instances", and hopefully that turns out to be true because the integrity of our elections is of the utmost importance.  Voting machines are supposed to make voting easier and more efficient, but instead they are once again causing major headaches all over the country.

Limbaugh Predicts Millions Of Illegal Aliens Will Be Found To Have Voted.  ["]You know what they're gonna find?  I will predict that before this is all said and done, a lot of illegal aliens will be found to have voted, in the millions.  You wait.  Let me rephrase it.  I won't be surprised if this happens, and it will be enough to blow apart whatever theory these people have that Hillary won the popular vote, because you'll have to take those illegal votes out, and when that happens, she will not have won anything.["]

Edward Snowden shows how easy it is to hack into a US voting machine with a £24 memory card.  He showed his 2.4 million Twitter followers a video in which experts were able to change the number of votes for each candidate in the computer memory — and also alter the paper-trail backup.

About 100 million people couldn't be bothered to vote this year.  The U.S. Elections Project, run by a political scientist at the University of Florida, estimates that there are about 251 million voting-age people in the U.S.  But not all of them are eligible to vote:  some are non-citizens living in the U.S., while several million more can't legally vote because they're in prison, on parole, or have a past felony conviction in states where that's a barrier to voting.  Subtract all those people and you've got about 232 million people potentially eligible to cast a vote this fall.  But only about 132 million of them did, give or take the one or two million votes that have yet to be officially certified.  That means that 100 million people who have the legal right to vote simply decided it wasn't worth the hassle this year.

The Editor says...
That's not necessarily as shocking as it may seem:  Some people who are of voting age are in retirement facilities, mental institutions, and hospitals.  See also Not Everyone Should Vote

Hillary Wins the Popular Vote — Not.  Okay, let's address this "Hillary might win the popular vote, isn't that Electoral College situation just awful" thing head on.  No, it's not awful.  It's great, and it protects the importance of your vote.  It's also uniquely American and demonstrates yet again the once-in-creation brilliance of the Founding Fathers.  First of all, she's probably not going to win the actual number of votes cast.  She may win the number of votes counted, but not the votes cast.  States don't count their absentee ballots unless the number of outstanding absentee ballots is larger than the state margin of difference.  If there is a margin of 1,000 votes counted and there are 1,300 absentee ballots outstanding, then the state tabulates those.  If the number of outstanding absentee ballots wouldn't influence the election results, then the absentee ballots aren't counted.

A Blow to the Non-Elite Elite.  [Scroll down]  Another election casualty is the practice of extended voting.  The recent trend to open state polls early and over several days is proving a terrible idea.  Campaigns (think 1980, 1992, and 2000) are often not over until the last week.  When millions of people vote days or even weeks before Election Day, what the candidates say or do in the critical final days becomes irrelevant.  When a candidate urges citizens, "Vote early," it is synonymous with, "Vote quickly, before more dirt surfaces about my ongoing scandals." Voting should return to a single event, rather than becoming a daily tracking poll.

Poll workers FIRED in Florida this morning for violating voter 'integrity'!  CNN is reporting that two poll workers were fired this morning [11/8/2016] in Broward County, Florida: [...]

Voters Complain of Ballots Pre-Filled for Democrats.  Voters at multiple polling sites in Queens, New York say that when they showed up to vote on Tuesday, they were given ballots that were already filled out — for Democrats.  Alexa Cardena, deputy campaign manager for Republican Congressional candidate Mike O'Reilly, told LawNewz.com that her office and local police have received dozens of calls from people complaining that when they arrived at the polls, ready to vote, their ballot was already filled out for Democrats.  "It's really unfortunate," Cardena said.  O'Reilly is running in a Congressional district in Queens.

Autopen in Virginia and Polls Kept Open in Nevada.  With the race in Virginia flipping red to blue and back before the eyes of CNN viewers, reports are trickling out that the state's late close for Hillary Clinton in one of her key "firewall" states was helped by her old friend, the state's governor Terry McAuliffe.  According to a report in the World Tribune, Gov. McAuliffe "used an autopen to sign thousands of letters granting voting rights to felons, enough to put the swing state in Hillary Clinton's column."  Governor McAuliffe is a longtime Clinton ally, having served as chairman of both President Bill Clinton's 1996 re-election campaign, and Hillary Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign.  The report, which first appeared in the Daily Caller, says that "those who received McAuliffe's letter also got voter registration forms with pre-paid return postage.  No others in Virginia received such a service."

Officials: PA Voting Machines Incorrectly Registered Straight Republican Votes.  Voting machines in Pennsylvania were registering straight Republican votes as Democratic votes early Tuesday [11/8/2016], officials say.  The error was due to a calibration issue in Lebanon County's voting machines, where five machines out of the 270 machines available in the county malfunctioned, Penn Live reported.  Voters saw the errors after they reviewed their ballots before officially filing them.

Two Florida Poll Workers Fired, Escorted From Location By Deputies:  Report.  This after Broward County Deputies were called to the scene due to a disturbance.  WPLG reported:  "Broward election officials said two clerks were fired because they did not adhere to "procedure and policy," but would not elaborate about the circumstances surrounding the disturbance. [...]"

Florida Election Worker Goes Public With Massive Voter Fraud Happening Right Now.  Voter fraud has been a running theme in this election with the Democratic party and will continue to be through the election.  Trump has been warning voters for months about fraud and it's certainly happening, especially in swing states like Florida.  This time around, absentee ballots are being fraudulently filled out in Democratic Broward County, Florida, which was just discovered with a sworn testimony via affidavit.  The witness describes going into a back room where SOE employees were sitting at a table with stacks of absentee ballots, filling them out assembly line style.

Pennsylvania Voting Machine Refuses to Allow Vote for Trump.  This young man went in to fulfill his duty as an American and cast his vote for who he feels will be best to put into the White House and lead America. [...] To his dismay however, when he went into the voting booth to do just that... he wasn't able to choose his candidate he supports.

Rigged!? HUGE voting issues reported.  The 2016 presidential election is in full swing — and already reports on widespread voting issues are pouring in.  It seems Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump's warnings about fraud and vote machine manipulation may be coming true.  Multiple reports have come out of Pennsylvania of serious issues.  In Westmoreland, the county's Republican Committee posted a warning to their Facebook, telling voters that machines were switching votes from Republican to Democrat.

Will Voter Fraud Influence Today's Election?  Could the Presidential and other key elections be decided by illegal votes cast by non-citizens?  Despite arguments that voter fraud is so rare that it is negligible, efforts to ensure fair elections may not be in vain.  Indeed, researchers in 2014 found voter fraud to be so widespread as to have likely swayed tight elections in 2008 and 2012 and have a great impact on local and Congressional races.  (Washington Post, Oct. 24, 2014)  Data from the Cooperative Congressional Election Study revealed that more than 14 percent of non-citizens were registered to vote in the 2008 and 2010 elections, with 6.4 percent of non-citizens actually voting in 2008.  (Id.)  Additionally, the study estimated that roughly 80% of non-citizens vote Democrat.  (Id.)

Hacking concern on Election Day:  The companies that bring you the news.  Experts have been warning for months that hackers could try to disrupt Tuesday's election by penetrating local voting systems.  But another target could prove easier to hack:  U.S. media outlets offering election night results.  Upguard, a Mountain View, California, company that assesses how well companies are protecting themselves from hackers, has found that three major news organizations — The Associated Press, The Wall Street Journal and CBS News — tallied "pretty abysmal" scores on key criteria to thwart breaches.  All three are key sources of election night results, with the AP perhaps the largest provider of election tabulations in the country.

BLM poll worker
Poll Worker Wearing #BlackLivesMatter Gear at Brooklyn Polling Station.  This seems like a violation of the spirit, if not the letter, of New York state election law.  You're not supposed to be allowed to wear any sort of political garb inside a polling area.  And this wasn't a regular voter, this guy was a [expletive] poll worker!  Someone dropped the ball here, or more likely, they were allowed to do this by a Democratic election official.  Thankfully, Trump's legal team has been notified.


The Smell Test for a Rigged Election.  Integral to claims of vote rigging are electronic voting systems, or Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) Systems.  Some swing states like Pennsylvania and swaths of North Carolina have these DRE systems, while other states like Michigan and New Hampshire have traditional paper ballots.  Rigging the vote in a state with paper ballots would be difficult given the physical medium — that isn't to say that chicanery can't take place, but it's a lot harder.  With a DRE system, especially in states like Pennsylvania where there is no paper trail or physical record of the votes cast, the prospect of tampering is far more viable and, more importantly, scalable.  With a paper ballot, a corrupt official could stuff a few extra ballots, but with a DRE system, a motivated or well-informed hacker could stuff a few hundred thousand.

Long lines nationwide, reports of voter intimidation, and ballot machine problems in three states cause troubles on Election Day.  Despite Donald Trump's continued skepticism that the election was on the up and up, few voters who went to the polls Tuesday encountered problems — and even then, most issues involved the usual machine breakdowns and long lines.

Some Trump Voters Reporting Ballots Switching To Clinton.  Many areas are already seeing long lines with some officials saying they wouldn't be surprised if voter turnout topped 80 percent.  However, there have been some scattered issues where voters are encountering problems.  Election judges in Clinton Township, Butler County confirmed there were issues with two of their eight automated voting machines.

Marilyn Mosby, Baltimore's top prosecutor, deletes banned ballot photo.  Baltimore's top prosecutor tweeted, then deleted a prohibited ballot-box photo on Election Day.  The now-deleted image showed State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby's daughter looking over the blank ballot with the caption, "We Voted today #DoYourPartAndDoTheSame #We'reWithHer @HillaryClinton."  Maryland law prohibits the use of electronic devices inside polling places and voters are only permitted to take photos outside.

Latin American election observers cheered by FEC Dem.  \Election observers from Latin America in the U.S. to monitor Tuesday's presidential election are getting the royal treatment from Washington officials, including a top Democrat on the Federal Election Commission.

International Election Observer Forgets 'Strict Impartiality' Pledge, Tweets Support for Clinton.  As hundreds of international observers from dozens of countries fan across the nation ahead of Tuesday's election, their behavior is governed by their own organizations' codes of conduct, which call for "strict impartiality."  That message did not appear to have reached everyone, however.

Leaked Documents Reveal Expansive Soros Funding to Manipulate Federal Elections.  Leaked funding documents reveal an effort by George Soros and his foundations to manipulate election laws and process rules ahead of the federal election far more expansively than has been previously reported.  The billionaire and convicted felon moved hundreds of millions of dollars into often-secret efforts to change election laws, fuel litigation to attack election integrity measures, push public narratives about voter fraud, and to integrate the political ground game of the left with efforts to scare racial minority groups about voting rights threats.  These Soros-funded efforts moved through dozens of 501(c)(3) and (c)(4) charities and involved the active compliance with civil rights groups, government officials, and purportedly non-partisan groups like the League of Women Voters.

Firm Demonstrates Ease of Hacking a Voting Machine.  Digital security firm Cylance have released a video demonstrating how easy it is to hack an electronic voting machine in just a few steps.  Demonstrating on a Sequoia AVC Edge Voting Machine, the same machine that was used in the 2008 presidential election and is still used in a number of voting precincts, Cylance show how in just a few easy steps, numbers, candidate names, and other variables could be easily modified and made to look genuine.

Exclusive: Virginia Gov. Pardons 60,000 Felons, Enough To Swing Election.  Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe has granted voting rights to as many as 60,000 convicted felons just in time for them to register to vote, nearly five times more than previously reported and enough to win the state for his long-time friend, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.  McAuliffe sought to allow all of Virginia's estimated 200,000 felons to vote, but state courts said each individual felon's circumstances must be weighed.  To get around that, McAuliffe used a mechanical autopen to rapidly sign thousands of letters, as if he had personally reviewed them, even as his office was saying the total was 13,000.

Obama: Latinos Should Vote to Give Undocumented Family Members a Voice.  In an interview with Latino star Gina Rodriguez, President Barack Obama urged all American Latinos to vote, specifically Latino citizens who knew illegal immigrants or had illegal family members living in the United States.  Rodriguez asked Obama whether "undocumented citizens" should vote, specifying that she calls illegal immigrants "citizens" because they contribute and work in the United States.

Jeff Sessions:  Obama Must 'Make Crystal Clear' Only Citizens Can Vote in U.S. Elections.  A Latino Youtube host interviewed Obama Friday, asking him:  "Many of the millennials, DREAMers, undocumented, um, citizens — and I call them citizens because they contribute to this country — are fearful of voting.  So if I vote, will immigration know where I live?  Will they come for my family and deport us?"  "Not true," Obama replied, ignoring her point about illegal aliens voting.

Did Obama Actually Encourage Illegals to Vote?  Wikileaks Email Suggests YES.  You've probably already seen the clip where it seems like Obama encourages illegal immigrants to vote in the US election.  But there's been some contention about whether the clip is actually a recommendation from Obama for illegals to vote — which would essentially amount to high treason because it would disenfranchise US voters and give political power to foreign entities — or whether it was a benign statement which was being misconstrued by the right.

Justice Dept. sending more than 500 election monitors to 28 states.  The Justice Department will send more than 500 election monitors to polling places in 28 states on Election Day.  The election monitors will help enforce federal voting rights laws in 67 jurisdictions nationwide, the DOJ's Civil Rights Division said Monday [11/7/2016].  "The department is deeply committed to the fair and unbiased application of our voting rights laws and we will work tirelessly to ensure that every eligible person that wants to do so is able to cast a ballot," said Attorney General Loretta Lynch in a statement.

Latest Project Veritas Bombshell:  Undercover Journalist In Full Burka Offered Huma Abedin's Ballot In NYC.  As democrats and George Soros continue to funnel millions of dollars into lawsuits to fight voter ID laws around the country, Project Veritas continues to reveal just how simple it is to take advantage of the current system to commit voter fraud.  The latest example comes from New York City as an undercover Project Veritas journalist walks into a polling station wearing a full burka and requests the ballot of one Huma Abedin.

Florida Election Employees Caught Faking 1,000's of Stolen Absentee Ballots in Massive Voter Fraud Scheme!  Broward Co FL Sec of Elections Brenda Snipes and her team have been caught red-handed engaging in massive voter fraud by filling out thousands of absentee ballots in a secret locked room.  Broward County is one of the largest swing counties in Florida.  It would not take much voter fraud there to flip it.  The voter fraud whistle-blower is a former Secretary of Elections Department employee and she has filled out a sworn affidavit.

Voting-Rights Decisions in Arizona, New Jersey Favor Republicans.  The U.S. Supreme Court on Saturday [11/5/2016] restored a Republican-supported Arizona law that makes it a crime for get-out-the-vote operatives to collect and deliver absentee ballots filled out by voters.

The court's action was one of two notable election law matters Saturday in which the GOP prevailed.

Federal court lifts injunction 'aimed at stopping Trump campaign and Roger Stone-backed group from intimidating voters' in Ohio.  A federal court has lifted a ban aimed at stopping voter intimidation in Ohio, after an appeal was filed by Donald Trump's campaign.  The Cincinnati-based 6th Circuit Court of Appeals announced in a short ruling on Sunday morning [11/6/2016] that it had cancelled out the injunction put in place by US District Court Judge James Gwin on Friday.

American Elections Are Vulnerable to Wholesale Fraud.  Bev Harris, elections expert and founder of Black Box Voting, believes our elections are vulnerable to wholesale fraud via manipulation of vote totals in the centralized computer databases.  She recently appeared on the Alex Jones Show, where she demonstrated a computer script named Fraction Magic that can alter vote totals all the way down to the precinct level and make the final vote totals add up to a desired result.

Judge orders North Carolina counties to restore thousands to voter rolls.  A federal judge ordered three North Carolina counties to restore thousands of voter registrations canceled too close to Election Day after the NAACP sued over the removals.

Supreme Court permits Arizona ban on third party ballot collection.  The U.S. Supreme Court sided with Republicans and ordered a law in Arizona banning ballot collecting by third party groups can stand in Tuesday's election.  Republicans in Arizona passed the ballot collection law, making it a felony punishable by up to a year in jail and a $150,000 fine for someone to turn in a ballot that is not their own.  Exceptions were included for family members, roommates and caregivers.

If Voting Is Sacred, Early Voting Must Go.  The standard argument against widespread early voting is that it encourages many people to make their decisions without important information available to the voters who wait until Election Day.  That's really not debatable, so early-voting supporters concede the point and then say it just doesn't matter.  They note that the people most likely to cast early votes are committed partisans, immune to new facts and information.  There's surely some truth to that, but as the scale of early voting increases with each year, it must also be less and less true every year.  Also, one might wonder why people who decry the rise of ideological polarization and partisanship are so eager to make it easier for hardcore partisans to vote.

Judge Denies Pennsylvania GOP Call for Statewide Poll Watchers.  A federal judge denied the Pennsylvania Republican Party's request to allow poll watchers from anywhere in the state to monitor precincts on Election Day.  Eastern District of Pennsylvania Judge Gerald J. Pappert said the state GOP's request was "unreasonably delayed," is not in the public interest, and does not qualify for last-minute interventions from the court, the Associated Press reported.  "Any intervention at this point risks practical concerns including disruption, confusion or other unforeseen deleterious effects," Pappert wrote.  "Plaintiffs waited until eighteen days before the election to bring this case ... Were the Court to enter the requested injunction, poll watchers would be allowed to roam the Commonwealth on election day for the first time in the Election Code's seventy-nine year history — giving the Commonwealth and county election officials all of five days' notice to prepare for the change."

Deal reached after GOP claims absentee ballots were handled wrongly in Florida county.  A clash between the state Republican party and Broward County's elections office over the handling of absentee ballots was settled Wednesday night only hours after it began.  At issue:  whether Broward Supervisor of Elections Brenda C. Snipes had broken the law by opening scores of mail-in ballots in private, and without the supervision of a canvassing board appointed to oversee and certify elections.  Snipes — whose office has dealt with a series of mishaps and complications this election cycle — received a letter Wednesday afternoon from Republican state party chairman Blaise Ingoglia alleging the elections department had illegally processed and opened scores of the more than 153,000 ballots that have been cast by mail so far in Broward.

After Delco raid, focus widens on voter registration group.  Days after state agents raided its Delaware County office, a national grassroots organization that works mostly for Democrats is facing increasing scrutiny over voter registration efforts in Pennsylvania.  A source with knowledge of the inquiry said Wednesday [11/2/2016] the probe of FieldWorks LLC is likely to expand to other spots in the state.  At the same time, Delaware County officials are preparing to challenge thousands of voter registration forms submitted by the group, questioning if they were filed on time.

A Kenyan crowdsourcing tool will monitor the U.S. election for fraud.  Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has refused to say he'd accept the outcome of next week's election if he loses.  He has claimed, despite lack of evidence, that the ballots will be "rigged" against him.  If that does happen, a crowdsourcing tool invented in Kenya is prepared to document it.  Kenya knows a thing or two about contested elections, which some speculate may be a situation the U.S. finds itself in next week.  In response to violence following the country's 2007 presidential contest when Raila Odinga refused to acknowledge the victory of opponent Mwai Kibaki, a group of coders developed a platform to document where protests were occurring.  They named the crisis map Ushahidi, which means "testimony" in Swahili.  The organization thinks the technology will be useful in the American election.

Hacker Guccifer 2.0 Warns He Has "Info From Inside FEC: Democrats May Rig The Elections".  Earlier today [11/4/2016], after a two week silence, Guccifer 2.0 reemerged, with a post on his blog, in which he alleges that he has information from inside the Federal Election Commission, according to which "democrats may rig the elections."  He then adds "this may be possible because of the software installed in the FEC networks by the large IT companies."

California man finds dozens of ballots stacked outside home.  Jerry Mosna was gardening outside his San Pedro, Calif., home Saturday when he noticed something odd:  Two stacks of 2016 ballots on his mailbox.  The 83 ballots, each unused, were addressed to different people, all supposedly living in his elderly neighbor's two-bedroom apartment.  "I think this is spooky," Mosna said.  "All the different names, none we recognize, all at one address."  His wife, Madalena Mosna, noted their 89-year-old neighbor lives by herself, and, "Eighty people can't fit in that apartment."

FL GOP Accuses Election Officials of Voter Fraud.  The state GOP alleges that officials in Broward County, which includes Fort Lauderdale, have been opening tens of thousands of vote-by-mail ballots prior to them being cleared for counting.  Chairman Blaise Ingoglia told Shapiro that "Florida law prescribes that when the supervisor of elections takes in all these ballots, they have to be approved by the canvassing board."  Therefore, the officials have no legal authority to open the ballot envelopes.

More stolen, forged ballots discovered in Florida.  We've been hearing all manner of reports and analysis of early voting in this election.  One recent story said that early voting in Florida's black community was low, which would be bad for Hillary Clinton.  But Florida is a swing state, and another report claims that early swing state voting is going Clinton's way.  The truth (at least in general) may wind up being somewhere between the two, but there's one group of people who the early voting is decidedly not going well for at all.  Those would be the folks who were victims of voter fraud and had their absentee ballots stolen, forged and turned in by someone else.

Voter fraud?  Non-citizen can register to vote in Arizona; officials, law enforcement investigating.  An Arizona man, who is not a legal U.S. citizen, admits he was able to register to vote.  ABC15 is not releasing his name, however he claims to have lived in the U.S. for more than 25 years and has a green card, a social security number and an Arizona driver license.  "I'm not a citizen but I am legal in this country," he said.  "I have a permanent resident alien card."  A few months ago the non-citizen says he was joking around with a co-worker who was having problem registering to vote.

Maybe next time you can wait until Election Day.
Buyer's remorse?  Some states allow early voters to change ballots.  Early voters who have buyer's remorse can switch their votes before Election Day in several Midwestern states, and the Trump campaign is hoping to peel off some who backed Hillary Clinton but are having a rethink in the wake of the renewed FBI investigation into her emails.  Voters in Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota and Pennsylvania are allowed to void their early or absentee ballots and cast a new vote.  While normally not an issue, that could end up playing a bigger role this year, with October surprises and each campaign fighting vigorously to disqualify the other.

Police Raid Pennsylvania Democratic Voter Outreach Office To Search For Proof of Fraud.  Pennsylvania State Police raided the office of FieldWorks LLC, a group that does voter outreach/"street work" for Democrats, after obtaining a search warrant on Friday [10/28/2016].  The warrant, while vague about the investigation itself, specified that police were looking for "templates ... utilized to construct fraudulent voter registration forms" as well as "completed voter registration forms containing same or similar identifying information of individuals on multiple forms," according to information obtained by Philly.com.

Seminole elections office receives five stolen, forged absentee ballots.  By mid-October, Susan Halperin became concerned that she and her husband hadn't received their absentee ballots in the mail.  So Lawrence Halperin called the Seminole County Supervisor of Elections Office to find out what was going on.  He was stunned to learn their ballots had already been cast.  Someone had stolen the Halperins' ballots, faked their signatures and voted.

Non-American, Wife of US Citizen Arrested in Texas After Voting 5 Times!  Just imagine how many of these people who aren't legal citizens are voting in elections who have yet to be caught.  A Texas woman, who isn't a citizen, was arrested Friday for illegally voting in Dallas County five times.

DOJ Stops Florida From Removing Dead People and Foreigners From Registered Voter List.  In response to allegations of possible voter fraud involving dead people and foreigners who are not citizens but registered to vote anyway, Ken Detzner, the Florida Secretary of State began cleaning up the voter registration lists in his state.  During the process, they found 53,000 dead people that were still registered to vote throughout the state and Detzner issued instructions to have them removed from the voter rolls along with any persons identified to be non-citizens.  When the news reached Washington DC, the Democratic controlled Department of Justice, immediately reacted and issued orders instructing Detzner to stop purging the voting records.

Virginia authorities charge man with felony voter fraud.  Virginia authorities have charged a man who registered voters for a liberal political advocacy group with voter registration fraud, saying he filed false applications for people who do not exist.  Vafalay Massaquoi, 30, is accused of inventing applicants and forging voter registration forms that were filed with the Alexandria Office of the General Registrar.  He's charged with two felony counts of forging a public record and two felony counts of voter registration fraud.  An Alexandria Police Department spokeswoman said Mr. Massaquoi worked for New Virginia Majority, a progressive nonprofit that works with people of color, women, youth and gay communities.

Action News Investigation:  Voting from the Grave.  The key to one of the most contentious presidential elections in history could be right here in the Keystone state.  Republican candidate Donald Trump has made allegations of fraud at polls in the City of Philadelphia.  So, Action News dug through a decade's worth of election and death records to see if there was any truth to the claim.  Some of what Action News investigation found was stunning.

Feds establish hotline to report NH election fraud.  An Election Day hotline on Nov. 8 will allow people to easily report any problems or voter fraud they encounter at the polls.  U.S. Attorney Emily Gray Rice said the hotline is in coordination with the U.S. Justice Department's nationwide Election Day program for the general election.

Miami-Dade fraud
Two Dade County Florida Campaign Operatives Arrested For Voter Fraud.  We noted earlier that Broward and Dade County (FL) held a particular importance for Democrats around two issues:  Electing Hillary Clinton and supporting John Morgan's legalized marijuana initiative.  Neither is possible without overwhelming support from Broward and Dade county.  There has been some very sketchy activity.  Today, news breaks of two women in Dade County who were arrested as part of an election fraud scheme: [...]


Women charged with elections fraud led unassuming lives.  Tomika Shanteek Curgil got behind the wheel of a beat-up Pontiac on Friday morning, dropped her son and daughter off at school, and was on her way back to her Liberty City home when a thought occurred to her:  She was being followed.  She was right.  Police stopped the 33-year-old campaign worker and placed her into custody amid accusations she submitted more than a dozen fraudulent voter registration forms to the Miami-Dade elections department.  A few hours later, Gladys Coego, 74, would turn herself in to authorities over charges that she tampered with absentee ballots this week while working as an elections department temp.

Unprecedented Surge In Election Fraud Incidents From Around The Country.  Mounting evidence would suggest it's getting more and more difficult for the left to claim that there are "no signs" of fraud in the 2016 election cycle... though we're sure they will continue to try.  Just this morning the Miami Herald noted that two arrests were made in Miami-Dade county on election fraud charges including efforts by one woman to illegally register voters (some of whom were dead...a recurring theme this election cycle) while another 74-year-old election worker was charged with actually "illegally marking ballots".

Some Cities Want Their Immigrants to Vote.  "Look at illegal immigrants voting all over the country," Donald Trump recently claimed in a Fox News interview, part of his ongoing effort to cast doubt on the integrity of the presidential election.  There's no evidence to support the Republican nominee's claims of election fraud, but some cities are moving to expand voting rights to include noncitizens.  The latest is San Francisco, where the Nov. 8 ballot will include a measure allowing the parents or legal guardians of any student in the city's public schools to vote in school board elections.  The right would be extended to those with green cards, visas, or no documentation at all.  "One out of three kids in the San Francisco unified school system has a parent who is an immigrant, who is disenfranchised and doesn't have a voice," says San Francisco Assemblyman David Chiu, the son of Taiwanese immigrants.  "We've had legal immigrants who've had children go through the entire K-12 system without having a say."  Undocumented immigrants should also have the right, Chiu adds, to bypass the "broken immigration system in this country."

Hillary Busted Holding Closed Door Meeting with Florida Elections Director in Possible Voter Fraud Scheme.  More proof of a rigged system and likely voter fraud taking place right before our eyes in the critical state of Florida.  There have been several reports that Broward County Election Director Brenda Snipes has met with Hillary Clinton behind closed doors and several sources of claim to be coming forward with pictures soon.

Are There Signs of A Voter Fraud Scheme in Broward County Florida?  A Handful of Mistakes and 173,000 Solutions.  Anyone with any political knowledge is aware the best chances for Hillary Clinton in Florida come from two specific counties, Broward and Dade.  It is not coincidental that both counties continue to be the historic nucleus of multiple voting irregularities.  This year is no different.  In a recent series of events Broward County is at the epicenter of another voting malfunction.  However, this one might not be a mistake, it might be by design.  The essential outline of the current year concern surrounds a scheme to present double voting to benefit Hillary Clinton.

A suspicious wind in the rigging.  Early voters in Texas say the voting machines are flipping their votes.  These voters marked their ballots for Donald Trump, and when the machines enabled them to review their work, the votes had been flipped to Hillary Clinton.  Votes for Republicans in down-ballot races were not flipped.  No doubt a coincidence — it seems to be a law of the cosmos that votes are always flipped from Republican to Democrat — or it might be a clue to why Democrats have been growing increasingly confident that this year they will flip the state from reliably red to an unnatural shade of blue.  Election officials put the glitches, if glitches they are, to "user error," and say "the machines are fine," as apparently they are if you're of the Hillary persuasion.  Nevertheless, Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, has urged voters to check and double check the way they mark their ballots before actually casting the vote.

Trump, Gov. Abbott weigh in on claims that Texas machines changed Trump votes to Clinton.  Early voters in Texas have claimed that voting machines in Dallas, Collin, Tarrant and other counties changed their presidential votes from Donald Trump to Hillary Clinton.  The allegations follow a similar pattern:  Voters say they voted straight-ticket Republican, but when they reviewed their ballots, they reflected they had voted for Hillary Clinton for president, not Donald Trump.  Their votes for Republicans in down-ballot races were not affected, according to the complaints.

Texas Officials Refute 'Vote-Flipping' After Trump Tweet.  In his latest attempt to cast doubt on the election process, GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump raised suspicions Thursday about the voting machines in reliably Republican Texas despite producing no evidence of an actual problem.

Foreign Election Monitors Unhappy About 13 States' Ban on International Observers.  As it prepares to observe the November 8 elections, an Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) mission already in the U.S. drew attention on Wednesday to the fact that 13 states explicitly forbid international election observation.  That prohibition, it said, ran contrary to the "requirements" set down in a 1990 document drawn up by the OSCE's precursor, the Conference on Security and Co-operation in Europe.

Election Fraud: Nothing to See Here!  Voter fraud in the upcoming Presidential Election is not only a serious concern but to many, a foregone conclusion.  In a recent Economist/YouGov poll, 72% said they were "very or somewhat concerned about the security of the electoral system".  For most people though, the terms "voter fraud" and "election fraud" mean the same thing.  However, according to experts, (and an article at the DailyKos), Voter Fraud means "individual voters misrepresenting who they are" while Election Fraud is the "illegal interference with the process of an election."  As one might ask, "What difference, at this point, does it make?"

Virginia Young Democrat Caught Voting For 19 Dead World War II Vets.  Andrew Spieles, a James Madison University student working for HarrisonburgVotes admitted to submitting 19 applications of dead individuals.  A clerk was double-checking the entries of registered voters in the Shenandoah Valley city of Harrisonburg and came across the name Richard Allen Claybrook Sr., a name that she recognized.  The clerk recalled that his son is a well-known local judge and remembered that his father had died a few years prior.  Claybrook Sr. died in 2014 at the age of 87.

Woman Tried to Vote Straight GOP Ticket, But Machine Showed Hillary Clinton.  A post on Facebook from Arlington, Texas has caused quite a stir after claiming a woman tried to vote a straight Republican ticket, but the machine showed her voting for Hillary Clinton.  The Facebook post has been shared nearly 200,000 times, and conspiracy theorists have flooded the internet with claims of a rigged election.  It's not the first time this sort of thing has been reported.  Several people have made complaints that their all Republican tickets were changed to show Hillary in the final summary screen when they vote.

Voting Machines Are Switching Votes From Donald Trump To Hillary Clinton.  Is the 2016 election in the process of being stolen?  Just a few weeks ago I issued a major alert warning that this exact sort of thing might happen.  Early voting has already begun in many states, and a number of voters in Texas are reporting that the voting machines switched their votes from Donald Trump to Hillary Clinton.  The odd thing is that none of the other choices were affected when these individuals attempted to vote for a straight Republican ticket.  If Hillary Clinton is declared the winner of the state of Texas on election night, a full investigation of these voting machines should be conducted, because there is no way that Donald Trump should lose that state.

Democrats caught stuffing ballot with campaign materials.  When Jena Jones opened up her absentee ballot last week, there was a lot more in the envelope than she expected.  In addition to actual ballot, she and her husband, David, noticed multiple pieces of advocacy from Democrats. [...] "I found a letter from the governor of Virginia asking me to please vote Democrat and 'help keep Virginia blue' this year.  Then I got a letter from the Fairfax County Democratic Committee, giving me a step-by-step, yes-and-no what I should vote for as far as the meal tax and all those other things on the ballot," Jena explained to WND and Radio America.  The latter document is known as a sample ballot and is often handed out on the sidewalks outside of polling places on Election Day.  But there are strict rules that forbid those sample ballots from being handed out in the polling stations.

The art and science of vote fraud.  My day job since 1960 has been radio talk-host, and if you were to ask me what was my biggest failure throughout all those decades, the answer would be elementary.  More than half-a-dozen times after one of my urgent sermons against voter fraud I've gotten correspondence from listeners who were ashamed of having been part of vote-stealing operations and wanted to atone.  But they all flat-out refused to come on the air and talk about how their particular brand of vote-stealing works.  I can't hate them.  This is big-deal stuff, and their very lives are at stake if they give any significant portion of the game away.  Several times they've invited me to read their detailed "confessions" and talk about their ways-and-means on-the-air.  That's nowhere near as effective as having vote-stealers describe how they steal votes, but it's far better than nothing.  The most recent "whistleblower" ran the Ohio swindle.  Here's what he told me: [...]

Oh, No, Virginia:  There Is No Such Thing As Voter Fraud.  Advocates of electronic voting machines like to reassure the public that it's impossible to hack the machines because they are "air-gapped" from the Internet, just as secure systems used by the intelligence community or the Pentagon.  But according to researchers James Scott and Drew Spaniel, that's just an illusion.  "A skilled and dedicated adversary can remotely breach servers or airgaps and exfiltrate the proprietary system files upon which United States elections depend," they write.  Because voting machines and their operating systems use "black box" (proprietary) technology that can only be serviced by the manufacturers, hackers could also upload an "exploit" to produce pre-determined election results "at the manufacturer level," they found.

'They want to be able to commit fraud to win'.  Evidence of election fraud doesn't get much more arresting than video of it actually happening in the voting booth.  A video of what appeared to be either blatant vote fraud or the malfunctioning of a touch-screen voting machine appeared on social media Wednesday, just as similar reports emerged during early voting in Texas.  But one of the nation's top election experts told WND there are even greater dangers to voting integrity than those that may be posed by any tampering of voting booth touch-screen machines, essentially accusing Democrats of doing everything possible — legal and illegal — to rig the election.

Voting Machines Are Switching Votes From Donald Trump To Hillary Clinton.  Early voting has already begun in many states, and a number of voters in Texas are reporting that the voting machines switched their votes from Donald Trump to Hillary Clinton.  The odd thing is that none of the other choices were affected when these individuals attempted to vote for a straight Republican ticket.  If Hillary Clinton is declared the winner of the state of Texas on election night, a full investigation of these voting machines should be conducted, because there is no way that Donald Trump should lose that state.  I have said that it will be the greatest miracle in U.S. political history if Donald Trump wins this election, but without the state of Texas Donald Trump has exactly zero chance of winning.  So those living down in Texas need to keep reporting anything unusual that they see or hear when they go to vote.

Florida:  Taco Trucks Used to "Lure" Democrat Voters to Polls.  Video out of Florida shows the Clinton machine is busing people to the polls and luring them to vote using taco trucks.  Now we know what the DNC meant when they said they needed more "taco bowl outreach."  SEIU, which has endorsed Hillary Clinton, appears to be behind the scam.

Hillary Clinton's chain of command for dirty tricks.  If you put together data from James O'Keefe's two videos for Project Veritas Action (transcripts [elsew]here), you can see the actual organizational structure used by the Democratic Party for vote-stealing dirty tricks.

Voter Fraud — well, if you're a programmer & access to the firmware.  Hmm, it was explained that it was a "simple" calibration error. [...] Curious thing, though — it seems this "machine flu" was caught in Amarillo, Texas, too.

Clinton's Florida Secret Weapon:  New Puerto Rican Arrivals.  While in most states registration drives focus on college campuses and African-American neighborhoods — the standard marketplaces where canvassers find non-registrants who skew Democratic — Florida has presented a distinct demographic opportunity.  The center of the state, across several counties sprawling outward from Orlando, has been a destination for one of the most significant domestic diasporas in recent American history.  The debt crisis that has been roiling Puerto Rico for the last two years has forced residents to flee the island in droves, with many settling in Florida's Orange and Osceola counties.

Texas County Switches to Paper Ballots after Software Glitch.  Chambers County election officials have executed an emergency protocol to remove all electronic voting machines available during early voting until a software update can be completed to correct problems experienced by straight-ticket voters.  Chambers County Clerk Heather Hawthorne told Breitbart Texas Tuesday morning that all electronic voting was temporarily halted until her office completes a "software update" on ES&S machines that otherwise "omit one race" when a straight ticket option is selected for either major party.  The Texas 14th Court of Appeals race was reported to be the contest in which voters commonly experienced the glitch.

Computer Programmer Confesses He Coded Computers to RIG Elections.  Maybe we need to rethink the computerized voting model.  [Video clip]

Voting Machines Caught Switching Trump Votes To Hillary in Texas.  It's happening.  Voting machines are being reported as switching Trump votes to Hillary votes in early voting.  We warned you about this, as did Trump, and it's happening in Texas — a state that Trump has to win to get elected.  Lisa Houlette posted to Facebook, "Gary and I went to early vote today... I voted a straight Republican ticket and as I scrolled to submit my ballot I noticed that the Republican Straight ticket was highlighted, however, the clinton/kaine box was also highlighted!  I tried to go back and change and could not get it to work.  I asked for help from one of the workers and she couldn't get it to go back either.  It took a second election person to get the machine to where I could correct the vote to a straight ticket.  Be careful and double check your selections before you cast your vote!  Don't hesitate to ask for help.  I had to have help to get mine changed."

Voting Machines:  Check Your Ballot Before You Hit 'Vote'.  Texas voters are reporting their ballots were changed on the ballot.  The Republicans claim their votes were switched from Republican to Clinton-Kaine."

Texas Voter Fraud:  Is THIS Why Media Has Been Claiming Texas Was Suddenly a "Toss Up?".  Something odd has been taking place in recent weeks.  Media figure after media figure was declaring Texas had inexplicably shifted to a "toss up" state, meaning Hillary Clinton had an opportunity to win that state in a presidential election despite no Democrat doing so in more than thirty years.  In 2012, Mitt Romney, who enjoyed lukewarm at best support among Texas republicans, won that state easily over Barack Obama by nearly 16%.  Now in 2016, the Mainstream Media would have voters believe that Donald Trump, who is far more popular in Texas than Mitt Romney, could lose the state to Hillary Clinton.

Hillary's Dirty Secret's Out When Voters See Something 'Fishy' On Ballots.  We know that cheating isn't "beneath" Hillary Clinton when it comes to winning this election, but she just lowered the bar even further.  In fact, Texas voters were utterly stunned after spotting something "fishy" on their ballots just before casting their votes — and now Hillary's dirty secret is out for all of the world to see.

Here are the phone numbers to report election fraud.  Clip and save.

Voting Machines:  Check Your Ballot Before You Hit 'Vote'.  Texas voters are reporting their ballots were changed on the ballot.

Texas Republicans Reporting Their Early Votes Are Being Changed To Clinton-Kaine.  According to at least two voters in Texas, voting machines are erroneously changing their votes from Republican to Democrat during early voting.  96.9 Kiss FM in Amarillo, Texas reports that "two voters from Canyon posted the experience they had while voting.  Apparently, when these voters chose the straight Republican option, the ballot selected Clinton/Kaine instead of Trump/Pence."

Massive Voting Fraud in Early Voting.  Watch as the voting machine votes Democrat while the person votes Republican.  [Video clip]

Texas Rigged?  Reports Of Voting Machines Switching Votes To Hillary In Texas.  [Scroll down]  But, if recent reports of electronic voting machine issues are true, then perhaps the democrats have another trick up their sleeves to win Texas in 2016.  As noted by Paul Joseph Watson, residents in multiple Texas cities have already complained that voting machines are switching their votes from Trump to Hillary.

Report: Texas Voters Say Voting Machines Picked Clinton/Kaine with Straight Republican Ballot.  Several voters in Texas have said on social media that when they voted early, their voting machine registered a "Straight Republican" selection but marked Hillary Clinton as their choice for president.

Early Voters From Amarillo Are Saying Their Votes Were Changed On the Ballot.  It's common to see pictures of the "I Voted!" stickers on social media.  It's not as common to see the stories I've been seeing today.  Two voters from Canyon posted the experience they had while voting.  Apparently, when these voters chose the straight Republican option, the ballot selected Clinton/Kaine instead of Trump/Pence.

Hillary Clinton May Have Broken Campaign Finance Law In North Carolina.  According to North Carolina law, it is a crime to engage in political activity within 50 feet of the entrance of a polling location.  But that's exactly what it looked like Clinton was doing [10/23/2016].

The Real Question:  Will Hillary (and the Democrats) Accept the Results When She Loses?  The headlines are in.  Trump is the "anti-Democratic" candidate because he refuses to rule out challenging the results of an election that has yet to take place.  Such a course of action is "beyond the pale".  It's a threat to democracy.  And it is utterly and thoroughly unacceptable.  Except when Democrats do it.  It was the day after the election.  While the Democratic Party faithful waited in the rain in Nashville, William Daley strode out and announced, "Our campaign continues".  Al Gore had called George W. Bush to withdraw his concession.  "Are you saying what I think you're saying?" a baffled Bush asked.  "You don't have to be snippy about it," Gore retorted snippily.  Gore did eventually concede.  Though years later he would attempt to retract his concession a second time.  But his political movement never did concede.  It remained a widespread belief in left-wing circles that President Bush was illegitimately elected and that President Gore was the real winner.

DOJ Opts For Fewer Watchdogs At Polling Places.  The Department of Justice (DOJ) made the decision to severely limit the number of election observers to a handful of states, according to a New York Times report Monday [10/24/2016].  "I was a little surprised by the Justice Department's decision, to be honest," Derek T. Muller, law professor at Pepperdine University, told the New York Times.  Since the Voting Rights Act of 1965 created the program, the DOJ collectively sent 32,000 electoral observers to selected communities.

Texas could destroy the United States.  The state department is conceding things in negotiations with other countries to influence the outcome of the presidential election.  Thousands of illegal voter registrations have occurred in places like Indiana and Virginia.  There are millions of dead people on voter rolls and registered in multiple states — and voter fraud is relatively easy to detect.  Electoral fraud — the fraud that takes place during the counting process — is even more difficult for those on the outside to trace and definitively track.  With wildly divergent polls providing cover, an professional media backing Hillary more overwhelmingly than self-identified Democrats are, and a bipartisan political apparatus that demands Trump lose, even the discovery of blatant irregularities and outright fraud won't reverse a Hillary win if it occurs.

Cook County ballot box tries to cast GOP votes for Democrats.  Early Voting in Illinois got off to its typical start Monday [10/17/2016], as votes being cast for Republican candidates were transformed into votes for Democrats.  Republican state representative candidate Jim Moynihan went to vote Monday at the Schaumburg Public Library.  "I tried to cast a vote for myself and instead it cast the vote for my opponent," Moynihan said.  "You could imagine my surprise as the same thing happened with a number of races when I tried to vote for a Republican and the machine registered a vote for a Democrat."

Why Trump's Rigged Election Claims May Not Be Far-Fetched.  For weeks, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has warned that this presidential election may be rigged, and he has good reason to be concerned.  Vote fraud tactics were revealed this week in an undercover video directed by investigative journalist James O'Keefe of Project Veritas.  His team has already exposed Democrat efforts to incite violence at Donald Trump rallies.  In part two of their video, the former deputy national director of People for the American Way explained how Democratic operatives organize people to cross state lines and cast their votes.

Trump or No Trump, Elections Have Been Stolen.  If Donald Trump loses the presidential race, I hope that he will concede and move on.  That's what democracy demands.  But the current histrionics over his insistence that the process is rigged against him are overblown.  We've been here before, and the republic has survived.  In fact, we have been there recently.  I have friends who to this day insist that Al Gore actually won the 2000 presidential election.  In truth, for as long as there have been elections, there have been fears that somebody would steal them.

Why Should Trump Accept the Election Results?  The headline on the October 20 edition of the Washington Post blared, "Trump won't vow to honor results," referring to the election that the Post devoutly hopes will go to his opponent, the corrupt and criminal Hillary Clinton.  The Post's exaggerated headline is only symptomatic of the hyperventilating on both sides of the aisle over Trump's refusal to commit to personally accepting a negative election result.  The fact is, Trump's position is both quite logical and constitutionally inconsequential.

A Vote For Hillary Is A Vote For Felony.  The Veritas exposes' thus far have been very bad.  But let's take a look at just one of the things we discovered — Bob Creamer, who "resigned" after being "outed" in a video discussing wide-scale voter fraud — literally obtaining credentials for non-eligible people and then getting them to the polls to intentionally defraud the election process by casting votes en-masse.

Second Scalp:  James O'Keefe Video Forces Another Democratic Operative to Resign.  Robert Creamer, a central subject of two recent James O'Keefe exposés broken this Monday and Tuesday, has resigned "from his responsibilities working with the campaign."

Conservative activist James O'Keefe exposes possible Democratic foul play in video.  After O'Keefe released the video this week, two Democratic operatives stopped working on the presidential race and both the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton's campaign denounced the tactics described in the footage.

Five Times Obama as a Presidential Hopeful Questioned the Validity of the Election Process.  President Barack Obama accuses Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump of "whining," after his repeated statements on the upcoming presidential election being "rigged." [...] However, as a presidential candidate Obama expressed concerns about the validity of U.S. elections.  On numerous occasions before being sworn in as commander-in-chief, Obama decried flaws in the American election system, which included voter ID laws, rhetoric from Bush administration Justice Department officials and the agency's traditional handling of voter fraud investigations.

Cruz calls for criminal probe into visits by 'voter fraud operative' to Obama White House.  Sen. Ted Cruz called for a "serious criminal investigation" into multiple visits to the White House by Democratic consultant Robert Creamer after undercover videos showed he was involved in hiring protesters to disrupt Donald Trump events.  "Voter fraud operative: 45 meetings w/ Obama — this merits a serious criminal investigation (not a James Comey 'friends and family' cover-up)," the Texas Republican tweeted Wednesday, referring to Mr. Comey, FBI director.  Mr. Cruz's comment came after the Daily Caller reported that White that Mr. Creamer has paid 342 visits to the White House, including 47 with Mr. Obama, since 2009.

Soros-Connected Company Provides Voting Machines In 16 States.  Smartmatic, a U.K.-based voting technology company with deep ties to George Soros, has provided voting technology in 16 states including battleground zones like Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Virginia.  Other jurisdictions affected are California, District of Columbia, Illinois, Louisiana, Missouri, New Jersey, Oregon, Washington and Wisconsin.  Its website includes a flow-chart that describes how the company has contributed to elections in the U.S. from 2006-2015 with "57,000 voting and counting machines deployed" and "35 million voters assisted."

Indiana election official clarifies voter registration fraud investigation.  Indiana's secretary of state clarified the voter registration fraud investigation on Wednesday, acknowledging that the thousands of flagged registration records could just be residents trying to correct names or birth dates adding that the changes could be legitimate.  Republican Secretary of State Connie Lawson said she wanted to ensure that there was no widespread fraud in the election cycle.

Podesta:  All You Need is a Driver's License to Vote.  A discussion between Hillary Clinton's campaign advisers about voter registration laws led to a remarkable quip made by John Podesta, Clinton's campaign chairman.  "On the picture ID, the one thing I have thought of in that space is that if you show up on Election Day with a driver's license with a picture, attest that you are a citizen, you have a right to vote in federal elections," said Podesta.  The email was made public on Wednesday by WikiLeaks.  Podesta's Gmail was hacked and 50,000 emails sent to WikiLeaks, which has steadily been releasing the emails every day since Oct. 7.

Poll: Voters Have Concerns Over Election Security.  More than two out of every three U.S. citizens in a recent poll say they are very or somewhat concerned about the security of the nation's electoral system.  The Economist/YouGov poll was conducted amid Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's recent claims that the November election is "rigged."  Seventy-two percent of respondents said they were very or somewhat concerned about the security of the electoral system while just 21 percent were either not very concerned or not concerned at all.  The survey found that two out of five respondents (42 percent) said they believed that Russia was attempting to influence the U.S. presidential election.

8 Times Liberals Claimed An Election Was Stolen Or Rigged.  [#5] Politico's Ben Wofford:  In August, Wofford wrote a piece explaining how the election could be hacked in seven minutes.  The piece focuses on a professor who bought an $82 voting machine and hacked with it so he could manipulate results.  "In American politics, an onlooker might observe that hacking an election has been less of a threat than a tradition," he writes, citing [Democrat] Huey Long's infamous rigging in 1932, and the 1948 "Lyndon Landslide" during which [Democrat] Lyndon B. Johnson "mysteriously overcame a 20,000 vote deficit in his first Senate race."

Ted Cruz Demands Investigation After Obama Met With Man Who Admitted He Rigged Elections.  President Barack Obama has had a total of 45 meetings with a man named Robert Creamer.  For those who don't know who Creamer is, he has a very rich history of voter fraud as well as bank fraud. [...] Knowing this man's history, what business does Obama have with him, let alone that needs to be discussed over 45 meetings?  Ted Cruz wants to know this as well, which is why he called for a criminal investigation into the matter and managed to get a shot at Hillary in, to my amusement.

Pennsylvania Sends Thousands Of Illegal Immigrants And Non-Citizens Voter Registration Cards.  One of the country's biggest battleground states is in trouble after inviting millions of its unregistered voters residents to sign up before the deadline, including many who are not eligible to vote.  According to LifeZette, Pennsylvania sent 2.5 million voter registration forms out to its registered drivers who had not yet registered to vote to implore them to sign up to cast their ballot in November.  Many of those who received the registration cards turned out to not be American citizens, and therefore, are ineligible to vote.

Flashback: Hillary Didn't Accept The Results Of The 2000 Election.  With talk of a "rigged" system as a centerpiece of Donald Trump's presidential campaign, many have begun to ask whether or not he'll accept the election results on November 8th.  While some on the left are complaining that questioning the legitimacy of a presidential election is unprecedented, it wasn't long ago that many of them were doing just that — including Hillary Clinton herself!  In October of 2002, during a heated midterm election, then-New York Senator Hillary Clinton declared that President George W. Bush had been "selected" and not "elected" in 2000.

GOP Judge Paves Road For Thousands Of Potential Non-Citizens Voting In Kansas.  Despite news percolating throughout the country about non-citizens registering to vote under loose Motor-Voter practices, the courts are refusing to allow states to verify citizenship as a condition for registering to vote.  Yesterday, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a district court's injunction against a Kansas law requiring those registering with federal Motor-Voter forms to show proof of citizenship.  The original injunction forced the state to register 20,000 individuals who failed to show proof of citizenship.  Now, that number could rise to 50,000.

Almost half believe there will be widespread voter fraud.  Voters think that whoever loses the 2016 election needs to accept the result, a poll showed Friday [10/21/2016] — even though almost half of those surveyed think that there will be widespread fraud at the polls.  Sixty-eight per cent believe that the candidate who does not win must step aside, the Politico/Morning Consult poll showed.

Chris Wallace's rigged question about a rigged election.  [Scroll down]  Hillary Clinton insulted Trump's answer to Wallace's rigged question, saying, "This is how democracy works!"  But it's not how it worked in 2000, when Democrat presidential candidate Al Gore refused to accept his loss and wanted those "hanging chads" counted again and again and again until the election would have swung in his favor, once there were enough hanging chads on the floor.  It's not how it worked when Hillary Clinton claimed that George W. Bush was "selected, not elected" in 2002, or when John Kerry stated that the 2004 election, which he lost handily to Bush, was "rigged."  Asking Trump if he would accept the results of a "rigged election" before the election is even held reminds me of the time Nancy Pelosi told Americans that they would have to pass Obamacare to see what was in it.

Here's What Voter Fraud Looks Like In 23 States.  The Brennan Center for Justice says that voter fraud is "myth" and the Washington Post maintains that voter fraud isn't a problem.  As the debate rages, here are examples of voter fraud in 23 different states.

Hillary Has Some Chutzpah Ripping Trump For Not 'Respecting' Fraudulent Vote.  In 1960, there were what voting analysts today like to call "massive irregularities" in the vote counts of mob-run Chicago, West Virginia and LBJ's Texas that favored one candidate:  John F. Kennedy.  Despite feeling he had been cheated of the presidency, Richard M. Nixon, a man who has been miscast as a misanthropic paranoid, refused to challenge the cheating out of concern for what it would do to the country.  The point is, U.S. elections have never been all that clean.  As the saying goes, it ain't beanbag.  But the loser has usually conceded in the end.  That Hillary would now denounce Trump for suggesting he might not respect the results is a joke.  It shows her utter shamelessness.  In Wednesday night's debate, she made out like she was Joan of Arc on the debate stage, a defender of "free and fair" elections and the idea that once done, an election is over — finished.  But we all know what happened in 2000.

Rigging Elections.  Democrats and their auxiliaries in the media routinely boast of their dream of turning America into a one-party state through changing who gets to vote in American elections.  Strikingly, this vast conspiracy to dilute the sovereignty of American voters by inviting in ringers from abroad is not covered up, nor even excused as aggressive-but-legal political hardball.  Instead, the dilution of the voting power of American citizens is praised lavishly as representing the highest value of "who we are as Americans."

Gore, Trump and liberal hypocrisy.  The media is beside itself that Wednesday night [10/19/2016], in the final presidential debate, Donald Trump said he would wait until the election actually occurs to judge whether or not it was carried out fairly.  Apparently, some people think that when a Republican says he will watch closely to make there's no corruption of the vote, he is a "threat to democracy" and even a "domestic insurrectionist."  While on the other hand, they think that when a Democrat sends thousands of lawyers and observers to every polling place in the country to monitor voting and watch for irregularities — as Hillary Clinton will undoubtedly do — they are heroic defenders of the American people.

Indiana Investigating Possible Voter Fraud After Thousands of Names Changed.  The Indiana State police are investigating after the Indiana Secretary of State discovered that thousands of dates of birth and names were changed on voter registrations.  This comes as Donald Trump has doubled down his rhetoric that the election is "rigged against" him.  "We ran a report in the Statewide Voter Registration System and found thousands of dates of births and first names were changed," said Secretary of State Connie Lawson in a press release.  "These records were changed on paper forms, at the BMV and online.  At this time, my office is not sure why these records were changed, but we have evaluated the Statewide Voter Registration System and have found no indication it has been compromised.  We believe this may be a case of voter fraud and have turned our findings over to the State Police, who are currently conducting an investigation into alleged voter fraud."

Rigged Election?  Democrat Operative Admits Massive Voter Fraud.  The second video in Project Veritas' "Rigging the Election" series was released Tuesday [10/18/2016], and, in the words of Project Veritas Action President James O'Keefe, it's "so damning, we'll have corporate media forced to cover this.  Even if they're dragged kicking and screaming."  In this video, a Democratic operative explains how they commit mass voter fraud.  [Video clip]

The Second Project Veritas Video:  Democrats Talking About How To Do Mass Voter Fraud.  Here's James O'Keefe's second Project Veritas video, about the Democrat's underhanded and behind-the-scenes efforts to rig the election.  Scott Foval has been fired because of the publicity and Bob Creamer has left the campaign, saying:  "Contrary to the outrageous claims of the notorious right wing blogger James O'Keefe, we have always adhered to the highest standards of transparency and legality in our work for the DNC."  Gets a little awkward when he's got you on film.  [Video clip]

Why Did Vote-Rigging Robert Creamer Visit The White House Over 200 Times During The Obama Admin.  Earlier today [10/19/2016] we wrote about a new Project Veritas undercover video that uncovered several democratic operatives openly discussing, in explicit detail, how to commit massive voter fraud.  One of the operatives was a person by the name of Robert Creamer who is a co-founder of a democratic consulting firm called Democracy Partners.  Within the video, an undercover journalist details a plan to register Hispanic voters illegally by having them work as contractors, to which Creamer can be heard offering support saying that "there are a couple of organizations that that's their big trick"

'How to Commit Voter Fraud on a Massive Scale': Part II of Project Veritas Investigation into Clinton Network.  In the preface to the second video, O'Keefe states that the first video "blew up on social media, but sources have told us that several large corporate media outlets are afraid to cover our discoveries for fear of future retribution from a Hillary Clinton administration.  Truth is dangerous especially when it challenges power."  This second investigation features an undercover Project Veritas reporter posing as a Democratic Party donor brainstorming an elaborate voter fraud scheme to fraudulently register people to vote in various states using the lax voter registration policies currently in place.

Clinton-Dem Dark Arts Operatives Explain How They're Rigging Our Elections.  Project Veritas' undercover journalists caught top Clintonite-Democrat operatives admitting step-by-step how they commit mass voter fraud — including by working with illegal alien activist "dreamers."  This video proves Donald Trump is one-hundred percent right when he says our elections are being "rigged."

No, voter fraud isn't a myth: 10 cases where it's all too real.  As Donald Trump takes on the Republican establishment, Democrats and the mainstream media, he's telling supporters they're fighting against a "rigged" system, rife with voter fraud and those eager to protect the status quo.  The left, predictably, says this type of talk is "dangerous" to the integrity of our electoral system, and then glibly asks for Mr. Trump to prove his voter fraud allegations.  This is where the left is wrong:  The argument isn't whether voter fraud is real, but how widespread it is.

Watch: Obama in 2008 Boasts to Ohioans 'It Helps' That Dems Are 'in Charge of' Voting Machines.  Earlier on Tuesday [10/18/2016], President Barack Obama accused Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump of "whining" for his repeated statements on the upcoming presidential election being "rigged" at a joint news conference with Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi. [...] However, a rally at Kent State in Ohio in 2008, then-Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) had a much different response to a similar question.  After boasting that his Democratic Party were "in charge" of the voting machines, Obama admitted both sides had historically "monkeyed around with elections" to "tilt things in their direction."

NY Times Suddenly Very Concerned Over People Complaining About Vote Rigging.  [Scroll down]  Say, where was the NY Times when Democrats were going ape over the supposed theft of the 2000 election?  Liberals still say Bush stole the election.  They, somewhat quieter, say Bush stole the 2004 election by rigging Ohio.  Where was the NY Times EB when Democrats, including elected ones, were saying that Bush would cancel the 2004 and 2008 elections over some sort of manufactured incident.  Where was the NY Times pre-elections when Democrats were complaining about the elections being rigged via Diebold voting machines and other things?

Undetectable election hacking?  The upcoming U.S. presidential election can be rigged and sabotaged, and we might never even know it happened.  This Election Day voters in 10 states, or parts of them, will use touch-screen voting machines with no paper backup of an individual's vote; some will have rewritable flash memory.  If malware is inserted into these machines that's smart enough to rewrite itself, votes can be erased or assigned to another candidate with little possibility of figuring out the actual vote.

Commentary on the article immediately above:
Re:  Undetectable election hacking?  "Despite all the potential risks ahead, Eckhardt says, 'People should vote.  The only way that your vote for sure doesn't get counted is you don't cast it.'"  In reality there are at least three other ways that your vote for sure doesn't get counted:
      [#1] The Electoral College vote does not follow the popular vote, as happened in 1876 and 1888, or if, as in 1824, neither candidate gets an Electoral College majority and the House of Representatives elects the President.
      [#2] The Supreme Court steps in as it did in Bush v.  Gore 2000 and stops the vote count.
      [#3] One candidate concedes before all the votes have been counted, as then Presidential candidate John Kerry did in 2004.

Voter fraud investigation opened in Texas county.  Allegations of voter fraud in the Texas county of Tarrant highlight the nationwide problems with mail-in and absentee ballots.  There is no voter ID law that covers these paper ballots, meaning that the practice of "vote harvesting" is in play.  Essentially, vote harvesters can send in any number of ballots using other registered voters' names and addresses.  Investigators in Tarrant county are looking into this practice and trying to determine if it is a widespread problem.

State investigating allegations of voter fraud in Tarrant [County].  The complaints focus on mail-in ballots, which allow people to vote from their homes without any ID or verification of identity.  Supporters have long said mail-in balloting is crucial for overseas residents, the military and senior citizens.  Critics maintain that such voting is ripe for abuse and raises concerns about "vote harvesting," in which people could fill out and return other people's ballots.

Obama tells Trump to 'stop whining' about rigged election.  President Obama admonished Donald Trump Tuesday to "stop whining" about a rigged election system, calling the Republican nominee's claim "unprecedented" and false. [...] And the president said voter fraud in the U.S. is virtually nonexistent.

Giuliani: 'Dead people generally vote for Democrats.  Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Sunday that Democrats are more likely to promote voter fraud than Republicans, citing elections in the cities of Chicago and Philadelphia as examples.  "I've found very few situations where Republicans cheat," Giuliani said on CNN's "State of the Union."  "They don't control the inner cities the way Democrats do.  Maybe if Republicans controlled the inner cities, they'd do as much cheating as Democrats."  Asked about comments from Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump calling for supporters to monitor polls and complaining the election system could be rigged against his campaign, Guiliani argued that the media are biased toward Democrat Hillary Clinton and also insisted that voter fraud is still rampant in America's cities, run largely by Democrats.

Ben Carson says 'integrity' of voting system should be looked at.  Former Republican presidential candidate and current Trump adviser Dr. Ben Carson said Monday on "The Kelly File" that the nation's voting system's should be looked at amid allegations of potential fraud, while hitting the media for coverage over WikiLeaks revelations.  "We should be looking at the integrity of our voting system," Carson told Megyn Kelly, over reports of possible fraud in cities such as Philadelphia in 2012 where some precincts reported no votes cast for Republican Mitt Romney.  "Those are easy things that can be rectified," he added.

Wikileaks: John Podesta Believed 'Obama Forces' Committed Voter Fraud.  Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta received intelligence that President Barack Obama was the beneficiary of voter fraud in his primary run against Clinton, according to Wikileaks' dump of Podesta's emails.  Podesta warned Clinton campaign officials in a May 2015 email that the "Obama forces" likely committed voter fraud.  Those same "Obama forces," of course, are now in Clinton's camp, with Obama endorsing Clinton in the 2016 race.

Emails: Clinton Allies 'Believe The Obama Forces' Committed Voter Fraud In '08.  Two attorneys with close ties to the Clinton family believe then-Sen. Barack Obama's 2008 campaign "flooded" the caucuses with "ineligible voters," according to leaked emails.  Emails hacked from Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton's campaign manager John Podesta cites two attorneys and "old friends of the Clintons," James Lyons and Michael Driver, tasked with "caucus protection, election protection and to raise hard $" for the 2016 Colorado caucus.  Apparently, Lyons and Driver didn't want a repeat of 2008 when, they believe, the Obama campaign "flooded the caucuses with ineligible voters," according to the email chain released by WikiLeaks.  It's unclear if they are only talking about the Colorado caucus or those in other states.

Hidden Camera Busts Clinton Campaign Approving Destruction Of GOP Voter Registration Forms!  A new Project Veritas video captures Hillary campaign workers implying that it's okay to destroy Republican VR (voter registration) forms, and even promising not to report the undercover journalist who claimed that he destroyed several pro-Trump ballots.  Hidden cameras caught Democratic campaign workers endorsing the destruction of GOP ballots on two different occasions, as well as telling one of the undercover journalists that he wasn't to allow Republicans to sign up to vote by mail because "it's like, really super easy."  [Video clip]

Voter Fraud Is Real. Here's The Proof.  This week, liberals have been repeating their frequent claim that voter fraud doesn't exist.  A recent Salon article argues that "voter fraud just isn't a problem in Pennsylvania," despite evidence to the contrary.  Another article argues that voter fraud is entirely in the imagination of those who use voter ID laws to deny minorities the right to vote.  Yet as the election approaches, more and more cases of voter fraud are beginning to surface.  In Colorado, multiple instances were found of dead people attempting to vote.  Stunningly, "a woman named Sara Sosa who died in 2009 cast ballots in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013."  In Virginia, it was found that nearly 20 voter applications were turned in under the names of dead people.

Voters Don't Trust Feds To Protect Election System From Hackers.  The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has confirmed hacking attempts on election systems in more than 20 states and has offered to provide states free testing of their systems before Election Day.  While most voters are concerned about their state's election system being hacked, they think state and local officials will do a better job protecting their vote than the feds will.

Pentagon joins Homeland, FBI in eyeing oversight, control of elections.  Concerns about Russian hacking into the November 8 election have now reached the Pentagon where the military's top cyber official has outlined a plan to help the FBI and Department of Homeland Security to track an election altering attack.  What's more, Adm. Michael S. Rogers, commander of U.S. Cyber Command, has added his voice to that of Homeland Secretary Jeh Johnson who is considering whether the election system is critical infrastructure, like the power grid and financial sector, and subject to federal oversight.

Largest Voter Fraud Investigation in Texas History Underway in Tarrant County.  Last month, Texas Scorecard reported that Tarrant County Elections administrator Frank Phillips disclosed the AG's office had launched a criminal investigation into voting abnormalities inside Tarrant County.  The investigation was the result of a complaint filed by Aaron Harris, of Direct Action Texas, an organization that also uncovered significant errors in Hill County's primary election results.  Today [10/6/2016], Harris confirmed that AG investigators have been spotted on the ground in Tarrant County interviewing witnesses.  In a statement released online, Harris claimed the investigation is into a vote harvesting scheme involving as many as 20,000 ballots.

Will Anyone Ever Do Anything About Voter Fraud?  James O'Keefe recently busted a New York City election commissioner admitting that voter fraud happens there all the time... and to such an extent that it makes even him sick, and he's a Democrat.  Republicans are terrified of talking about voter fraud because Democrats call them racist when they do.  That's because Democrats like to say that black people are too stupid to get IDs and that's why IDs can't be asked for at polling places.  Because that's not racist or anything, Democrats saying that black people are too dumb to get state-issued IDs to verify who [...] they actually are.  Every election, Democrats cry that voter fraud is a myth but that's not true.

Democrat Official Caught Outlining VOTER FRAUD Plans in Leaked Video.  There have been allegations of voter fraud in every major presidential election, but there typically isn't much proof.  But now, suddenly, there is.  Project Veritas has just released a video introducing the world to Alan Schulkin, the Democratic Election Commissioner for Manhattan.  In it, he talks about how Mayor de Blasio gave out ID cards to anyone who asked for them, without vetting the person to make sure they were who they claimed to be.  [Video clip]

James O'Keefe releases video of election official admitting systemic Dem voter fraud!.  Project Veritas from James O'Keefe just dropped a pretty incredible video.  In it the Commissioner of the Board of Elections for New York City admits that Democrats are bussing people from polling station to polling station in order to bend the election results to their will.

Hidden Cam Leaked, Democrat Official Describes MASSIVE Voter Fraud Plans!  He's the Democratic Election Commissioner for Manhattan.  Nope, that wasn't a misprint, did you notice the word "democrat?"  Ok, good.  After all, isn't it Democrats who tell us that none of this happens?  And if you dare say it does, well then, you're a racist.

Will illegal foreign voters steal the election?  Former Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler identified nearly 5,000 noncitizens in Colorado who voted in the 2010 general election.  Gessler's office uncovered upwards of 12,000 noncitizens registered to vote.  Liberal groups who oppose stronger election system protections attacked him for trying to verify citizenship status — because God forbid public officials sworn to uphold the rule of law actually do anything to enhance the integrity of our election system!  Compounding the problem:  The militant immigration expansionist group Mi Familia Vota, connected with the Service Employees International Union, has ramped up its efforts in swing states to facilitate naturalization and registration of Latino voters who will promote the open-borders agenda at the polls.

Federal Judge Meddles In Florida Voter Registration Deadline.  Once again it is prudent to remind everyone to ignore media polls.  Instead, focus on what the desperate Clinton campaign is doing, not what the media are trying to portray.  Clinton's legal team appealed to a federal court to extend the Florida voter registration deadline — which is tomorrow, Tuesday [10/11/2016], at 5:00pm.  Currently, it appears the judge has granted a 24 hour extension through Wednesday.

Study: Non-Citizens Voting In Virginia By The Hundreds.  A study conducted by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) showed that in the key swing state of Virginia voter registration rolls have been tainted with the presence of at least 1000 non-citizens.  The PILF study, which former DOJ Attorney J. Christian Adams assisted on, used an eight county sample from the Commonwealth, which did not include the large population centers of Arlington and Fairfax Counties.  There [are] 133 counties in Virginia.

Indiana State Police expand vote fraud probe to 57 counties.  Indiana State Police say they've expanded their investigation of possible voter registration fraud to 57 of the state's 92 counties.  Spokesman Capt. Dave Bursten announced the expansion Thursday [10/6/2016] from the nine counties in the investigation two days earlier.  He provided no details on the reason for the expansion.  The expansion includes Marion County, where Indianapolis is located.

Why Clinton and Democrats Are So Keen on Early Voting.  Despite claims by Democrats about the importance of informed voters, the party seems to be making a concerted and very expensive effort to get people to vote as early as the various states' laws allow them.  Are there "fear factors" that are prompting the party to pour resources — more than they ever have done before — to get people to vote?  Perhaps Democrats fear that the ObamaCare apocalypse that is upon them will be the October surprise that can swing elections.  Two recent Wall Street Journal columns highlight the danger if and when voters discover and feel the pain of vast premium increases and loss of coverage that is rippling across America.

Dems already hinting at lawsuit after Florida governor says he won't extend voter registration for massive storm.  Florida Governor Rick Scott's decision not to extend voting registration in his state despite the monster hurricane bearing down isn't going to be the last word, as Democrats already hint there will be a lawsuit.  Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, Robby Mook, made the appeal for an extension in a press call with reporters Thursday [10/6/2016], as millions of Floridians faced evacuation as Hurricane Matthew made its way up the coast.  Scott immediately swatted down the idea.  'Everybody has had a lot of time to register,' Scott said Thursday night.

The Editor says...
Hurricane season doesn't end until November.  And even if a post-season tropical storm hits Florida (or an earthquake hits Caifornia) on Election Day, that's not an excuse to hold another election, extend Election Day, or cancel the whole thing because of "unfairness."

How Can States Protect Their Election Systems?  Anonymous law-enforcement sources are telling the media that up to 10 states have had their voter registration databases "probed or breached" by hackers — most likely Russians, according to cybersecurity experts.  But there is no indication that any voter information in those databases was altered or deleted, or that we are facing a realistic threat that the outcome of the November election will be changed by cyber criminals.  Is this yet another leak intended to push state election officials into involving the Feds in their administration of local elections?

Probe looks at how dead Virginians came to be registered to vote.  Harrisonburg Police Lt. Roger Knott said Wednesday that investigators are looking for irregularities in registration forms connected to a group called HarrisonburgVOTES.  Knott said the investigation, which began in August, is focused on possible instances of forgery, identity theft and voter fraud.  He said police have identified a "sole suspect," but he declined to name the person.  No charges have been filed.  Knott said police have teamed with the FBI on the investigation and hope to conclude it soon.

The Non-Citizen Vote Fraud Disaster.  Several weeks after a court ordered Ohio to stop cleaning its voter rolls from dead voters, likely raising the specter of voter fraud in the key battleground state, a new report reveals how Virginia and Pennsylvania — two other critical states — have seen hundreds of cases of non-citizens voting.  That raises the question:  Is the foundation of our democratic republic and national sovereignty no longer secure?  Earlier this week, the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), headed by former Justice Department Attorney J. Christian Adams, released a pair of [...] reports showing how the voting rolls in parts of Virginia and Pennsylvania are compromised with ineligible voters and that some of those voters have actually cast ballots in recent elections.  What is more disquieting about this analysis is that it covered only a handful of counties via public record requests made through the National Voter Registration Act.  Thanks to stonewalling from local election officials, a story Conservative Review first broke, PILF could not obtain comprehensive data on these two battleground states, which makes it all the more likely the number of registered voters who are non-citizens or otherwise ineligible to vote is much higher.

Trump: Obama letting illegal immigrants tip the election.  Federal officials have instructed border patrol agents not to deport illegal immigrants so they can remain in the country and vote in November, Donald Trump alleged during a roundtable Friday morning [10/7/2016].  "They're letting people pour into this country so they can go and vote," said the Republican presidential nominee while meeting with members of the National Border Patrol Council inside Trump Tower.  His remark came during a conversation with Art Del Cueto, national vice president of NBPC, which represents more than 18,000 border patrol agents and personnel.

"Those who pretend that fraud doesn't exist are a threat to the integrity of our elections."
When Election Officials Ignore Voter Fraud, We Need More Oversight.  Opponents of measures to improve ballot integrity like to deny that voter fraud exists.  "Voter fraud is very rare, [and] voter impersonation is nearly non-existent," asserts a statement by NYU law school's Brennan Center entitled "The Myth of Voter Fraud."  That claim, so common on the left, is based on an assumption that election officials are on the lookout for fraud and mistakes.  But incidents in states from Virginia to Pennsylvania to New York show that too many election officials are ignoring or even covering up the systemic problems brought to their attention.  One way not to find something is simply not to look.

Feds, state officials look into Kankakee voter fraud allegations.  The flurry of voter fraud and intimidation allegations and counter allegations swirling through Kankakee County has caught the attention of state and federal officials.  A day after Kankakee officials announced an investigation into voter fraud, including allegations that "individuals from Chicago" were offering gifts in exchange for votes, the top federal attorney for central Illinois and Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan paid the city a visit.  Illinois Attorney General's office spokeswoman Maura Possley said her office is "actively monitoring" the situation.

Trump seeking volunteer observers to prevent Clinton from "rigging" election.  Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Thursday called for volunteers to be his own election observers to prevent his Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton, from "rigging" the Nov. 8 election.  "Help Me Stop Crooked Hillary From Rigging This Election!" says the candidate in what appears to be a new page on his official Web site.  "Please fill out this form to receive more information about becoming a volunteer Trump Election Observer."

Illegal Voters Uncovered in Philly Are 'Tip of the Iceberg'.  At least 86 non-citizens have been registered voters in Philadelphia since 2013, and almost half — 40 — even voted in at least one recent election, according to a legal group that sued to get voter registration records.  Joseph Vanderhulst, an attorney with the Public Interest Legal Foundation, noted Philadelphia knows about those 86 illegal voters only because officials received specific requests — in almost every case from the voters themselves — to remove the names from the rolls.  He said there is no way to know how many non-citizens might be registered to vote in Philadelphia, let alone in the rest of politically crucial Pennsylvania.

Global Bureaucrats Invited By Obama To Inspect US Elections.  Hundreds of foreigners are expected to enter America within the next month in order to observe the American electoral process.  The United States sends representatives to other nations with dubious democratic processes to survey the voting systems and look for fraudulent practices.  But now it seems that America is the one being inspected and scrutinized.  With the help of President Barack Obama, the Organization of American States (OAS) will send roughly 30 to 40 spectators to polling locations across the country for the first time ever, according to The Washington Post.  The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) has been consigning a small contingent of bystanders to U.S. elections since 2002, but this time it plans to send extra reinforcements.

DHS: Half of U.S. States Seeking Federal Help to Stop Election Hackers.  Half of the states in the country have sought help from the Obama administration in efforts to stop potential election hackers, Politico reports.  According to an official from the Department of Homeland Security, 25 states have reached out for federal aid, and DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson said he hopes more will seek assistance.  A DHS official reportedly confirmed last week that hackers were detected trying to get into state voter registration systems in more than 20 states

Denver CBS Station Finds Dead People Voted Repeatedly in Colorado.  Voter fraud has been making the news again — at least locally — in Colorado.  The Washington Times noted Brian Maass of Denver's CBS affiliate KCNC-TV recently revealed numerous instances where dead voters were "voting" in Colorado — such as a dead World War II veteran named John Grosso voted in a 2006 primary election, a woman who died in 2009 who cast ballots in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013, and her husband who died in 2008, but somehow voted the year after.  Maass reported:  "This is the kind of thing you hear rumored, joked about in Chicago, that kind of thing.  Tonight, that changes.  We did find voter fraud in Colorado that essentially waters down your vote."  Why can't CBS in New York City locate this story?  They can find Colorado for stories on gun control or marijuana legalization.

Philadelphia keeps felons, illegal immigrants and other ineligibles on voter rolls.  We don't need to wait until November to wonder if illegal voters will be casting ballots, thanks to a 2016 Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) report on the city of Philadelphia we already know that this will be happening and has been happening.  The report shows that not only are illegal immigrants casting ballots but thousands of felons remain on voter rolls as well, even though they are ineligible to vote.  Usually getting into the voter system via motor voter, in many cases legal and illegal immigrants would check the box indicating that they were not citizens, yet continued to fill out the registration form and their registration was processed.  In other cases, illegal immigrants would simply check "yes" to their citizenship status and with no other question of citizenship their form would be processed.  Registered illegal voters are also not removed from voter rolls unless they request their removal.  The immigrant is expected to contact local government offices of their illicit status and request a removal, often after years of illegal voting.

Voter fraud is real, and it's happening now.  When most of us think of voter fraud, we consider specific instances of individuals gaming the system.  Voter fraud, however, is a broad, encompassing event, as Matthew Vadum notes at American Thinker:  "[E]lection fraud, and electoral fraud, refers to the specific offenses of fraudulent voting, impersonation, perjury, voter registration fraud, forgery, counterfeiting, bribery, destroying already cast ballots, and a multitude of crimes related to the electoral process."  For some reason, liberals and Democrats have not only ignored the issue, they've actively worked to dismiss the idea entirely.

State Police raid Indy office in growing voter fraud case.  Indiana State Police investigators on Tuesday searched a voter registration agency on Indianapolis' north side as they look into a voter fraud case that spans nine counties.  The investigation began in late August when police learned of the filing of fraudulent voter registration forms in Marion and Hendricks counties.  The investigation has expanded from Marion and Hendricks counties to include Allen, Delaware, Hamilton, Hancock, Johnson, Lake and Madison counties, according to a statement from State Police.

Will Illegal Foreign Voters Steal the Election?  Former Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler identified nearly 5,000 noncitizens in Colorado who voted in the 2010 general election.  Gessler's office uncovered upwards of 12,000 noncitizens registered to vote.  Liberal groups who oppose stronger election system protections attacked him for trying to verify citizenship status [...] Compounding the problem:  The militant immigration expansionist group Mi Familia Vota, connected with the Service Employees International Union, has ramped up its efforts in swing states to facilitate naturalization and registration of Latino voters who will promote the open-borders agenda at the polls.

Yes Virginia, Aliens Are Registered or Voting — and in Pennsylvania, by the Thousands.  [T]oday [10/3/2016] we learn that in the key swing state of Virginia, voter registration rolls have been polluted with an excess of a thousand aliens, and most certainly far more.  This detailed study by the Public Interest Legal Foundation, or PILF, (which I assisted on) documents more than one thousand aliens on the voter rolls.  It provides the government documents with the names.  Here's the most frightening part:  the sample is only eight Virginia counties and doesn't include the behemoths of Arlington and Fairfax Counties.

Bridgeport State Rep. Christina Ayala arrested on 19 voting fraud charges.  State Rep. Christina "Tita" Ayala, D-Bridgeport, was arrested Friday [9/30/2016] on 19 voting fraud charges.  Ayala, 31, is accused of voting in local and state elections in districts she did not live, the Chief State's Attorney's Office said in a press release.  The arrest warrant affidavit also alleges Ayala provided fabricated evidence to state Election Enforcement Commission investigators that showed she lived at an address in a district where she voted while actually living outside the district, according to the release.  Ayala, who represents the 128th District, was elected in 2012, replacing her cousin, Andres Ayala, who was elected to the state Senate.  She chose to run for reelection earlier this year, despite the voting fraud investigation, but lost a four-way primary in August.

Press Virtually Ignores Two-Week Old Story of 19 Dead People Registered to Vote in VA.  The left continues to insist that voter fraud is a myth, specifically that "voter fraud is very rare, voter impersonation is nearly non-existent," and that "most allegations of fraud turn out to be baseless."  Part of the support system for that insistence comes from the press, where reports of election fraud routinely get ignored or downplayed.  One particularly egregious example of this has to do with Democrat Andrew Spieles in Virginia.  A local paper reported on September 15 that Spieles has admitted to turning in voter registrations for 19 dead people in Virginia.  As far as I can tell, it took two weeks for anyone in the national press to give the story any attention — and no other national press outlet has.

More than 1,000 voted illegally in just 8 localities in Virginia.  More than 1,000 aliens and non-citizens voted in recent Virginia elections, according to a report published by the Virginia Voters Alliance.  That number represents figures from only 8 of 125 localities, so the problem is "exponentially worse."

Franklin Co.  Board of Elections launches investigation into 'fraudulent' ballots.  Officials from the Franklin County Board of Elections are investigating claims from a website that a nefarious plot to switch ballot boxes this November is afoot.  The article appears on a website called Christian Times Newspaper.  According to the article, an unnamed source says that a maintenance worker inspecting a warehouse found 12 sealed ballot boxes filled with thousands of votes for the upcoming general election.  The website on which the article appears asserts that the "likely goal was to slip the fake ballot boxes in with real ballot boxes."

US official:  Hackers targeted election systems of 20 states.  Federal officials and many cybersecurity experts have said it would be nearly impossible for hackers to alter an election's outcome because election systems are very decentralized and generally not connected to the internet.

FBI Launches Investigation Into 'Voter Fraud' In Key States.  I wrote earlier today [10/1/2016] on the young, aspiring Democratic [buffoon] in Virginia that registered 19 dead people to vote and got caught when a clerk recognized the name of a WWII vet who had recently passed.  I said the FBI might want to dig a bit deeper and it looks like they are doing just that.  I bet there are liberal politicos in Virginia sweating bullets right about now.  Good.  This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt how prevalent voter fraud is and why we need even stronger voter ID laws in place.  If one family member hadn't spoken up, we wouldn't even have this proof.  I hope the FBI tears Virginia apart looking for other instances of this... people should also step forward.

AP-NORC Poll:  Half of Trump backers don't trust vote count.  Only about one-third of Republicans say they have a great deal or quite a bit of confidence that votes on Election Day will be counted fairly, according to a poll from the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

The election is being stolen right before our eyes.  Thanks to the efforts of Democrats, safeguards against vote fraud are being gutted. [...] So now not only is it prohibited to require identification to vote, but you're not allowed to require the voter to even claim citizenship, never mind using any tools to verify or purge voter rolls of non citizens.  The Democrats have made such an issue of Russia possibly influencing our elections, while actively working to corrupt the process right here at home.

Investigation launched after dead people are registered to vote in Harrisonburg.  Harrisonburg officials and the FBI are investigating allegations of voter registration fraud after officials say almost 20 voter applications were turned in under the names of dead people.  Harrisonburg Registrar Debbie Logan said Thursday [9/29/2016] that investigators have found from 18 to 20 potentially fraudulent registrations.  The Rockingham County Commonwealth's Attorney's Office confirmed Thursday that an investigation is underway, but offered no additional details on the case.

Virginia Democrat, James Madison University Student, Caught Registering Dead Voters.  A few days ago it was reported the non-citizen alien who killed five people in a Washington State mall was a frequent voter.  Last week a dead voter registration drive for Democrats was discovered in Colorado, this week it is Virginia.

What Could Go Wrong:  California Lets Felons In Jail Vote.  Forget about the fact that the great majority of felons vote Democrat; California Governor Jerry Brown had no political motivations at all when he signed AB 2466 on Wednesday [9/28/2016] allowing thousands of felons in California to vote.  Starting January 2017, convicted felons still in jail will be able to cast their vote.

Democrat Says Voter Fraud Doesn't Exist After 19 Dead People Register to Vote.  Yesterday [9/29/2016] we learned that non-citizen Cascade Mall shooter terrorist Arcan Cetin voted in 3 elections and now we find out that 19 dead people registered to vote in Virginia.  Despite this irrefutable evidence democrats insist that voter fraud is completely imaginary.  In fact one Virginia State Senator confronted with the fraud in his own state says flatly that voter fraud doesn't exist.

2.6 Million Americans Living Abroad Can Vote This Year; Overseas Vote Pivotal in Florida in 2000.  Over the coming weeks, state authorities across the nation will be responding to requests from hundreds of thousands of Americans living abroad for absentee ballots allowing them to have their say in November's election.  The deadline for requesting ballots varies depending on the state, but for most it falls between mid-October and early November.  The federal government estimates there are 5.7 million American citizens living abroad, of whom 2.6 million can vote in November.  How many will is anybody's guess, although the last couple of election cycles recorded very low turnouts from civilian Americans overseas.

Wash. mall shooting suspect voted in 3 elections without U.S. citizenship.  The man charged in Washington state's deadly mall shooting on Sept. 23 voted in three elections despite not having U.S. citizenship.  Arcan Cetin of Oak Harbor is charged with five counts of first-degree premeditated murder in relation to last week's shooting that killed five.  The green card holder, who moved to the U.S. from Turkey when he was 7, may now face additional charges related to voter fraud.  State records show that Mr. Cetin registered to vote when he turned 18 and then voted in three elections, including the 2016 presidential primary.  Federal sources confirmed to a local NBC affiliate on Wednesday [9/28/2016] that he is not a U.S. citizen and is legally prohibited from voting.

He fought in World War II. He died in 2014. And he just registered to vote in Virginia.  The FBI and local police are investigating how at least 19 dead Virginians were recently re-registered to vote in this critical swing state.  One case came to light after relatives of a deceased man received a note congratulating him for registering, Rockingham County Commonwealth's Attorney Marsha Garst said Thursday [9/29/2016].  "His family members were very distraught," said Garst, who confirmed the existence of the FBI and police investigation but said she could provide few details because the case is ongoing.

Report: Up to 10 states have experienced election-related hacking.  As many as 10 state election databases have been hacked, not only the two previously reported in Illinois and Arizona, according to a report by CBS News.  The hacks come as officials in the Justice Department and Homeland Security warn state and local officials of the threat posed by hackers seeking access to the nation's election database.

California governor signs bill allowing felons to vote from their jail cells.  Convicted felons serving jail sentences in California county jails will now get to participate in an activity besides three meals a day and recreation time:  voting in elections.  Governor Jerry Brown signed new legislation into effect as part of a reform backers say will help prisoners transition back into society while still serving time for their crimes.  The bill he signed would let thousands of felons doing time in county jails to vote in California elections, the LA Times reported.

Hillary's Hacking Problem is About to Explode.  The White House knows Russia is meddling with our election.  They went so far as to ask two top congressional intelligence officials to keep quiet about Russian plans to mess with the US presidential election.  In a statement released last Friday [9/23/2016], two senior Democratic lawmakers formally accused Russia of attempting to influence the US election.  Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Rep. Adam Schiff, the vice-chairmen of the Senate and House Intelligence Committees, accused the Kremlin of "making a serious and concerted effort to influence the U.S. election."  It was the first official, on-record confirmation from US government officials that the Kremlin is actively working to undermine public confidence in the country's election system.

Oh, Good:  Investigation in Colorado Finds Dead People Are Casting Ballots.  To quote the great show Scrubs, "Dead people should be dead." They also shouldn't be voting — and an investigation out in Colorado shows that quite a few dead people are doing just that.  A CBS4 investigation in several Colorado counties dug up some disturbing anecdotes of people "voting" several years after they died, and questions are being raised as to how dead voters are receiving ballots.

And now the dead are eagerly voting in Colorado.  Keep in mind that opponents of voter ID laws or any other form of electoral integrity measures have repeatedly assured us that voter fraud never happens.  We recently looked at the results of a survey which shows that roughly half of the country believes that voter fraud is real and takes place on at least a somewhat regular basis.  But even the authors of that poll were dumbfounded and prefaced their findings with all sorts of reminders about how there's simply no evidence to support that idea.  Tell that to the people of Colorado, who were the latest to learn that many of their dearly departed were still somehow participating in democracy with alarming regularity.

Appeals court:  Ohio voter purge illegal.  For 20 years, Ohio has purged its voter rolls of people who have not voted in the last several elections.  The usual reasons for why people don't vote is that they are dead, or have moved out of state. [...] The few genuine voters that are purged who simply haven't taken the time to vote but are still eligible may find it inconvenient that they need to register again (although it's become ridiculously easy to register these days).  But is that any reason to throw the whole process out and invite voter fraud?  The ACLU and liberal Democrats thinks it is.

Colorado voter fraud revealed:  Slew of ballots cast by the dead spark investigation.  A CBS affiliate's evidence of voter fraud in Colorado has sparked an immediate investigation by Secretary of State Wayne Williams.  Election sleuthing by Brian Maass of KCNC-TV in Denver exposed multiple instances in recent years where dead Coloradans were still voting.  A dead World War II veteran named John Grosso voted in a 2006 primary election, and a woman named Sara Sosa who died in 2009 cast ballots in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013.  Mrs. Sosa's husband Miguel died in 2008, but a vote was cast in his name one year later.

Colorado Voter Fraud.  We're told voter fraud doesn't exist.  Colorado is an important swing state.  I have a tiny feeling the "myth" of voter fraud isnt such a fantasy inevery swing state.  I hope the Trump campaign will be aggressive in making sure the swing state elections are as fair as possible.  Keep in mind, stories like uncovering dead voting reveal just the tip of the iceberg.

Email shows federal immigration bosses in OT push to swear in new citizens 'due to election'.  An internal Obama administration email shows immigration officials may be literally working overtime to swear in as many new "citizen voters" as possible before the Nov. 8 presidential election, a powerful lawmaker charged Thursday [9/22/2016].  The email, from a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services field office chief and part of a chain of correspondence within the agency, urges the unnamed recipient to swear in as many citizens as possible "due to the election year." [...] Parts of the email were redacted before it was disclosed to FoxNews.com, but it was sent by the branch chief of the Houston Field Office District 17.  It was not clear to whom it was addressed.

Soros-Linked 'October Surprise That Will End Trump': The Campaign To Register 8 Million 'Global Citizens' To Vote.  A new campaign, touted as the "October surprise that will end Trump", is seeking to mobilise a "secret swing state" of more than 8 million mostly unregistered "global citizens" and "progressive" Americans living abroad to vote in the U.S. election.  The initiative was launched in London in the United Kingdom on Wednesday by 'Avaaz', a registered U.S. charity and one the world's largest and most powerful activist groups linked to globalist billionaire George Soros.  Campaigners toured from the University College London down to Parliament blasting Bruce Springsteen's 'Born in the USA' while chanting "Don't Vote Trump" from an open top bus.

California Could Let Felons Behind Bars Vote, Despite What the State Constitution Says.  California Gov. Jerry Brown is considering whether to sign a bill that would allow tens of thousands of incarcerated felons to vote, while continuing to deny the vote to others.  The Legislature sent a bill to Brown's desk that would restore voting rights to an estimated 50,000 convicted felons who are behind bars in county jails, but not to felons who are serving their sentence in prisons.

Changing who controls ICANN jeopardizes our presidential election.  Changing who controls the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) so close to our presidential election will jeopardize the results of how you vote on Nov. 8 unless Congress stops this changeover.  When the calendar hits Sept. 30, a mere 6 weeks before our election, the United States cannot be assured that if any web site is hacked, the responsible party will be held accountable.  We cannot be sure if a web site is a valid.  We cannot be sure if one country is being favored over another.  These are all the things ICANN is responsible for and has worked perfectly since the Internet was created.  Why change it now and so close to the election?

Election Fraud?  Get Ready for Martial Law.  This election is where faux news, conspiracy theories and fears are colliding like a Super Nova explosion.  Already, no less than the FBI, Homeland Security, and others are issuing clarion calls about possible cyber interference in the coming presidential and local elections.  A national coordination task force is in the making.  Fears of the "Russians are coming.  The Russians are coming" permeate usually sane media spaces.  Add to this the very real possibility (if the latest polls are to be believed) that the race is tightening — with Donald Trump ahead in the popular vote and Hillary Clinton leading in the Electoral College — and the ingredients for political chaos are complete.

Oops!  Instant citizenship — just in time for Election Day.
More Than 800 Immigrants Mistakenly Granted Citizenship.  The U.S. government has mistakenly granted citizenship to at least 858 immigrants from countries of concern to national security or with high rates of immigration fraud who had pending deportation orders, according to an internal Homeland Security audit released Monday [9/19/2016].

Potentially Ineligible Individuals Have Been Granted U.S. Citizenship Because of Incomplete Fingerprint Records.  USCIS granted U.S. citizenship to at least 858 individuals ordered deported or removed under another identity when, during the naturalization process, their digital fingerprint records were not available.  The digital records were not available because although USCIS procedures require checking applicants' fingerprints against both the Department of Homeland Security's and the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) digital fingerprint repositories, neither contains all old fingerprint records.  Not all old records were included in the DHS repository when it was being developed.  Further, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has identified, about 148,000 older fingerprint records that have not been digitized of aliens with final deportation orders or who are criminals or fugitives.  The FBI repository is also missing records because, in the past, not all records taken during immigration encounters were forwarded to the FBI.  As long as the older fingerprint records have not been digitized and included in the repositories, USCIS risks making naturalization decisions without complete information and, as a result, naturalizing additional individuals who may be ineligible for citizenship or who may be trying to obtain U.S. citizenship fraudulently.  As naturalized citizens, these individuals retain many of the rights and privileges of U.S. citizenship, including serving in law enforcement, obtaining a security clearance, and sponsoring other aliens' entry into the United States.

Nets Dismiss Over 800 Illegals Wrongly Granted Citizenship.  Following the two weekend terrorist attacks carried out by naturalized US citizens, the Department of Homeland Security's inspector general announced Monday [9/19/2016] that 800 individuals slipped through the cracks and were wrongly granted citizenship.  "In 858 of the cases, fingerprints for the individual, either at DHS or the FBI were not available because the agencies haven't fully digitized their inventories of older finger prints taken on paper," reported Fox News' Chief Washington Correspondent James Rosen.  And yet ABC and NBC failed to report it that evening, while CBS buried it in a Donald Trump report with no context.  The illegal immigrants in question managed to fool the federal government by using fake names and date of birth, and exploiting an out dated fingerprint system.

Obama "Mistakenly" Grants Citizenship For Nearly 1,000 Illegals Ready To Be Deported.  It's no secret that the Democrats want to import as many immigrants as humanly possible in the name of tolerance and equality.  What it's doing is making our country less safe, more "politically correct," and stripping us of our identity as a nation.  It looks like Obama and his inept and backward administration have done that again, but this time, they may have gone too far.  According to reports, over 800 illegal immigrants that were set for deportation were given citizenship because their fingerprints weren't in the government databases.

Report: 858 People Got US Citizenship When They Should Have Been Deported.  The digital records were not available because although USCIS procedures require checking applicants' fingerprints against both the Department of Homeland Security's and the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) digital fingerprint repositories, neither contains all old fingerprint records.  Not all old records were included in the DHS repository when it was being developed.  Further, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has identified, about 148,000 older fingerprint records that have not been digitized of aliens with final deportation orders or who are criminals or fugitives.  The FBI repository is also missing records because, in the past, not all records taken during immigration encounters were forwarded to the FBI.

Supreme Court turns down Ohio Democrats' bid to restore 'golden week' of early voting.  The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday [9/13/2016] turned down a plea from Ohio Democrats who had sought to restore an extra week of early voting that was used by more than 80,000 people in their state to cast ballots in the 2012 presidential election.  Instead, the justices — without comment or dissents — let stand a decision by Ohio's Republican-controlled Legislature to eliminate the so-called golden week, which had permitted voters to register and cast a ballot in one trip to the county's election center.  Democrats had maintained that African American voters were most likely to take advantage of this early voting week, in part to avoid long lines at polling places in Cleveland and other cities.

Obama's judges help to set election rules for November.  President Obama has been unable to fill a seat on the Supreme Court for six months, but his lower court appointments could help swing the presidential election to his chosen successor.  Judges named by Obama to federal appellate and district courts overseeing North Carolina, Texas, Michigan and Wisconsin have in recent months voted to strike down restrictions on voting imposed by Republican legislatures.  In Michigan and North Carolina, his Supreme Court nominees helped block efforts to restore the restrictions for this fall's elections.

State Police investigating voter registration fraud.  The Indiana State Police are investigating what they say are fraudulent voter registration forms in Marion and Hendricks counties.  The forms are among more than 28,000 submitted to county registration offices by a little-known group called the Indiana Voter Registration Project.  "We have determined at least 10 voter registration forms are confirmed to have fraudulent information," said Dave Bursten, a State Police spokesman.  Bursten said a team of six detectives is working to determine whether other forms are also fraudulent.  The FBI has been briefed, he said.

Appeals court to decide whether states can ban selfies in voting booths.  An federal appeals court will consider whether the government can bar people from taking pictures of their ballots in voting booths.  The First Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston will hear arguments Tuesday [9/13/2016] whether it is a violation of free expression or a way to prevent fraud.

A Candidate's Death Could Delay or Eliminate the Presidential Election.  The presidential election could be delayed or scrapped altogether if conspiracy theories become predictive and a candidate dies or drops out before Nov. 8.  The perhaps equally startling alternative, if there's enough time:  Small groups of people hand-picking a replacement pursuant to obscure party rules.  The scenarios have been seriously considered by few outside of the legal community and likely are too morbid for polite discussion in politically mixed company.  But prominent law professors have pondered the effects and possible ways to address a late-date vacancy.  "There's nothing in the Constitution which requires a popular election for the electors serving in the Electoral College," says John Nagle, a law professor at the University of Notre Dame, meaning the body that officially elects presidents could convene without the general public voting.

Double-voting — even triple-voting — found in US elections.  Once was apparently not enough for Pasco Parker.  Prosecutors say the 63-year-old Tennessee man voted in the 2012 presidential election, not once ... not twice ... but three times, in three different states.  "It's too easy to vote twice, it comes down to your honor," said Jay DeLancy, executive director of North Carolina volunteer voting watchdog group The Voting Integrity Project, which caught Parker.  DeLancy cited the case as an example of the kind of voter fraud that some have dismissed as overblown.  "It's a lot more widespread than what people think, because the general public thinks there is no voter fraud.  As proof they look at prosecutions, but we have learned how difficult it is to get prosecutions," he said.

Votes of Thousands Who Haven't Proven Citizenship Could 'Swing' Kansas Elections.  With the presidential election two months away, a Kansas law requiring voters to show proof of citizenship remains in legal limbo.  Late last month, Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach asked a U.S. appeals court to reinstate a provision of a law requiring Kansans to prove their citizenship when registering to vote while obtaining driver's licenses.  Kobach, a conservative crusader in a movement in Republican-led states to toughen voting laws, wants the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn a ruling by a federal judge in May.  The judge's decision temporarily restored voting rights to about 18,000 individuals who, as of the ruling, had registered to vote at motor vehicle offices without providing citizenship paperwork.

Paperless voting could fuel 'rigged' election claims.  Voters in four competitive states will cast ballots in November on electronic machines that leave no paper trail — a lapse that threatens to sow distrust about a presidential election in which supporters of both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have raised fears about hackers tampering with the outcome.  The most glaring potential trouble spots include Pennsylvania, where the vast majority of counties still use ATM-style touchscreen voting machines without the paper backups that critics around the country began demanding more than a decade ago.

Russia Isn't Trying To Elect Trump, It's Trying To Undermine America's Faith In Elections.  [Scroll down]  The important thing, from Russia's perspective, is that emails and information Clinton and the Democratic Party wanted to keep private were released to the world.  Some of those emails were embarrassing, and even led to the resignation of Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz on the eve of her party's convention in July.  But that was not the purpose of releasing them, any more than Russia's broader influence operations are meant to deny Clinton the White House.  The operations serve a far greater goal:  to make democracy itself look bad, and to make American democracy in particular look like a sham.

U.S. Spends Another $10 Mil to Register New Immigrant Voters.  Months after the Obama administration spent $19 million to register new immigrant voters that will likely support Democrats in November, it's dedicating an additional $10 million in a final push as the presidential election approaches.  The money is distributed by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the Homeland Security agency that oversees lawful immigration, to organizations that help enhance pathways to naturalization by offering immigrants free citizenship instruction, English, U.S. history and civics courses.  Officially, they're known as "citizenship integration grants."

The Editor says...
Can those grants be rescinded, revoked and recovered when the immigrants are convicted of violent crimes?  Probably not.

Same-day voter registration at issue in Illinois lawsuit.  A federal lawsuit has raised questions about whether Illinois' new Election Day voter registration rules are constitutional, a situation that could complicate how polling sites are run this November.

Nationalizing U.S. Elections — Obama's Most Dangerous Idea?  Not content with taking over health care and virtually nationalizing the financial markets, the Obama administration has another in a long line of great ideas:  Let's put our election system under federal control, too.  It's a terrible idea for which there are vastly better alternatives.

How the media caused the 2000 Florida recount.  On November 7, 2000, during the final hour and a half of voting in Florida's most conservative region, the Panhandle, 13 national television journalists, representing all six major outlets, asserted a total of 39 times that the polls in that region closed an hour earlier than they really did.  Not once did anyone on ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News Channel, NBC, or MSNBC inform the audience that Florida has two time zones and two poll closing times.  They hammered away that there was only one poll-closing time throughout the entire state of Florida:  7 p.m.  Eastern.  The polls in the ten westernmost Panhandle counties — all heavily Republican — were actually open until 8 p.m.  Eastern.

WH May Designate Some State Voting Systems As 'Pieces of Critical Infrastructure'.  The Obama White House may designate certain state voting systems as "pieces of critical infrastructure," which would give federal technology experts "more of a role in assisting the administrators of those networks as they deter intrusions," White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters on Monday [8/29/2016].  "That's something that's being discussed by senior members of the president's National Security team," Earnest added.

Homeland eyes special declaration to take charge of elections.  Even before the FBI identified new cyber attacks on two separate state election boards, the Department of Homeland Security began considering declaring the election a "critical infrastructure," giving it the same control over security it has over Wall Street and and the electric power grid.  The latest admissions of attacks could speed up that effort possibly including the upcoming presidential election, according to officials.  "We should carefully consider whether our election system, our election process, is critical infrastructure like the financial sector, like the power grid," Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said.

Homeland Security to Take Over Elections.  The Washington Examiner reported that the Department of Homeland Security is considering taking control of elections by declaring them "critical infrastructure." [...] The federal government never wastes a good crisis to gain more power, and this is no exception.  Officials are already talking about speeding up the process in the wake of election cyber attacks:  Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said, "We should carefully consider whether our election system, our election process, is critical infrastructure like the financial sector, like the power grid."

"Election Fraud Underway" — NBC Affiliate Posts "Election Results" For Florida Race That Hasn't Happened Yet.  Republican candidate for Florida House District 86, Laurel Bennett, was a bit shocked over the weekend when she discovered that a local West Palm Beach NBC affiliate, WPTV, reported that she had lost a race even though votes hadn't been cast yet.  Why do we need voters when it's far easier to just skip straight to the results?

ABC, CBS Blackout FBI Warning of Election System Hackings.  The fear of a cyber-attack on the American election system seemed close to being realized Monday [8/29/2016] with a dire warning from FBI.  "There's late word tonight that the FBI is warning state election officials to pay more attention to the security of their voting systems in response to recent hacking attacks that are just now coming to light," reported fill-in anchor Savannah Guthrie on NBC Nightly News.  NBC was the only network to share the FBI's warning, while ABC and CBS failed to mention it at all.

Another Soros puppet string revealed.  George Soros is a brilliant mastermind, the closest thing to a real-life Bond villain in human history.  He thinks strategically, targeting sources of leverage, and he wants to bring about structural change. [...] Soros runs rings around the Koch brothers and everyone else yet merits little attention from the media.  He drills down to state level and probably county levels when it comes to judges as well.  Also, he led the way with the Secretary of State Project that helped elect various secretaries of state — positions responsible for ensuring the integrity of voting practices and results — and can be manipulated, as was most probably the reason we have Al Franken as the senator from Minnesota.

FBI warns that foreign hackers are targeting US elections.  The FBI's Cyber Division has issued a warning that foreign hackers are targeting — and perhaps even penetrating — state election and voter registration systems in the US.  The alert comes in the wake of a Russian hacker gaining login access to Arizona election systems, the Wall Street Journal reported.  "[D]ue to what the FBI characterized as a credible threat to our voter registration system," some election systems were taken offline, a spokesman for the Arizona secretary of state told the Journal.

FBI Warns of Cyberattacks on State Election Boards.  The FBI is warning all states to tighten security measures related to their online election systems after hackers successfully infiltrated one state board of election and targeted another, ABC News has confirmed. [...] In late June, an "unknown actor scanned a state's Board of Election website for vulnerabilities" and, after identifying a security gap, exploited the vulnerability to conduct a "data exfiltration," the FBI said in its Aug. 18 "flash" bulletin.  Earlier this month, hackers used the same vulnerability in an "attempted intrusion activities into another state's Board of Election system," the FBI said.

FBI: Foreign hackers penetrated state election databases.  The FBI said there is evidence foreign hackers penetrated two state election databases, Yahoo News reported.  As a result, the FBI sent out a warning telling officials across the country to increase the security of their computer systems, according to Yahoo.  The warning included a "flash" alert from the FBI's Cyber Division.  The news service noted that Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson held a conference call with state election officials earlier this month to discuss how to make their voting systems more secure.  Johnson said Homeland Security didn't know of "specific or credible cybersecurity threats" to the election at that time.

FBI Says Hackers Breached U.S. Election Systems.  The FBI is sending out a warning that two local state election boards were breached by foreign hackers.  This comes amid increasing concerns from Donald Trump supporters about the possibility of a "rigged" election.  Several news outlets are reporting that the hacking occurred in Arizona and Illinois.

Your personal information is not safe in Big Brother's hands.
Hackers accessed personal info from 200,000 Illinois voters.  Illinois election officials say private information from up to 200,000 registered voters was accessed by hackers during a breach in late June.  It's part of a breach under investigation by the FBI in both Arizona and Illinois.  In both cases, the hacks involved online voter registration data.

Trump not on Minnesota's ballot.  Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump was added to Minnesota's ballot on Thursday.  Ryan Furlong, a spokesman for Minnesota's secretary of State's office, said that Trump's filing is completed and the GOP ticket will appear on the office's website listing those on the ballot soon.  He noted that major party candidates have until Monday to file for ballot access.  Minutes after The Hill spoke to Furlong, Trump and running mate Mike Pence's names were on the secretary of State's website.

Watch: Hillary Voter Registration Fraud Caught on Camera.  A staffer for the democratic part was caught on camera in Las Vegas violating Nevada election law by publicly soliciting votes for Hillary Clinton.  The woman in the video is a PR staffer, and is seen holding a sign up with a picture of Donald Trump crossed out, beneath are the words "Stand up to Trump, Register to Vote!"

Foreign Election Observers in U.S. to Increase Tenfold From 2012.  When Americans went to the polls four years ago, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) deployed 44 observers, a quarter of whom came from countries deemed by a leading democracy watchdog to be "not free" or "partly free."  This year, the OSCE plans to send more than ten times that number — and some civil rights groups in the U.S. say even that won't be enough.  Following a "needs assessment" visit earlier this year, the OSCE's Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) decided to send 100 long-term and 400 short-term observers to monitor the November 8 election.  The former will follow the electoral process across the nation while the latter will monitor Election Day itself.

Voting rights restored again for 13K felons in Virginia.  A defiant Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe announced Monday that he again restored the voting rights of about 13,000 felons who served their time after his previous attempt was thwarted by Republican lawmakers and the state Supreme Court.

Va. governor restores voting rights of 13K felons.  Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) announced Monday [8/22/2016] that he restored the voting rights of 13,000 felons as he sought to move past a state Supreme Court order that delayed his initial plans.  "This is an issue I have been passionate about for many, many years.  I personally believe in the power of second chances and in the dignity and worth of every single human being," he said Monday [8/22/2016] in Richmond.

Florida Voter Registration Changes Give Clear Edge To Donald Trump.  In various media presentations you will often hear of Florida listed as a "battleground state"; some media call Florida a "swing state".  Historically, this has been an accurate representation for the past 5 presidential election cycles.  However, changes in the past several years position Florida as highly favorable to a Donald Trump win.

Voter Fraud Is Real.  Here Are 4 More Cases.  With this November's election looming just over the horizon, the topic of voter fraud is popping up much more frequently in our news feeds.  Progressives insist that voter fraud is a myth, a charade meant to justify repressive voting laws.  The facts, however, tell a different story:  Voter fraud is real, and if we ignore it, we leave our ballot boxes open to fraudsters who would rather steal elections than risk losing in a fair and open contest.  The Heritage Foundation's "Does Your Vote Count" report identifies reasonable measures states can take to protect the integrity of their electoral systems without disenfranchising voters.

Voting machines should be seen as critical democracy infrastructure.  At the Open Source Election Technology Foundation (OSET), a 10-year old Silicon Valley based nonprofit election technology research institute, we are encouraged by valuable dialog underway about how to protect America's aging and vulnerable voting machinery and evolve our systems with technology for ease and confidence.  Setting aside some misunderstanding about the challenges elections officials face in administering a nationwide patchwork quilt of election technology, there is a critical mass on the left and the right discussing how to protect our "critical democracy infrastructure."

Yes, It's Possible to Hack the Election.  After reports of alleged Russian hacking into Democratic Party computer networks, some commentators have suggested that the Russians could hack the results of the U.S. elections.  Other analysts have, well before this year's campaign, suggested that election results in the U.S. could be electronically manipulated, including by our fellow Americans.  So could an American election's outcome be altered by a malicious actor on a computer keyboard?  I have had three jobs that, together, taught me at least one thing:  If it's a computer, it can be hacked.

Obama Administration Plotting to Usurp Control Over Elections.  Under the guise of providing increased "security" for "critical infrastructure," the Obama administration is plotting to insert itself and the federal government into the American elections process.  While voting is constitutionally the responsibility of state and local officials, Obama's Homeland Security Secretary, Jeh Johnson, pointed to the alleged threat of cyberattacks to justify the latest proposed usurpation of power.  The controversial scheme was floated amid growing national concerns, fueled in part by GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump's warnings of a "rigged" election, that America's electoral system might be vulnerable to major manipulation.  Critics and experts, though, warned that the White House scheming may be a first step toward illegally nationalizing the electoral process — with all the dangers that would entail.

Silicon Valley Urges Giving Election Day Off to Help Democrats.  Apparently worried about the populist movement led by Donald Trump, Silicon Valley tech firms are rallying companies to give workers the day off on Election Day.  As Breitbart News has reported, the Obama administration has shown lots of love to Silicon Valley's corporate elite by allowing tech companies to offshore the majority of their employment; eliminating a huge chunk of their 40 percent U.S. corporate tax rate to Ireland's infamous 12.5 percent tax rate; supporting the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal; and helping them do spectacular amounts of business with the federal bureaucracy.

Why does DHS want to designate election booths 'critical infrastructure?'.  The New York Times and other mainstream outlets have been filled with alarming stories recently about the possibility, voiced by Jeh Johnson, the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), that our voting process in the November election could be subjected to cyber-attacks.  Johnson told reporters in Washington (and state officials in a phone call on Monday [8/15/2016]) that he was considering designating our election system as "critical infrastructure, like the financial sector, like the power grid" because there is "a vital national interest in our electoral process."  There is only one problem with this — there is no credible threat of a successful cyberattack on our voting and ballot-counting process because of the way our current election system is organized.  An election official who was on that Monday call, and who has direct knowledge of Johnson's plan told me that Louisiana Secretary of State Tom Schedler asked Johnson whether he had any evidence of any credible threat to our election system.  Johnson's answer was "no."

The 15th Amendment does not protect the right of illegal immigrants to vote.  The 15th Amendment says that "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude."  The purpose was simple.  After the Civil War, freed slaves were being denied the right to vote, even though they were citizens.  That's where it begins and ends.  If you're an American citizen — the key question — you get to have control over the government which you elect.  You get to vote.  But, if you're an alien living in the country illegally, you do not get to have control over the government not meant to serve you — and certainly not with the right to vote.  The 15th Amendment was never intended to be extended to non-citizens.

Illegal Immigrant Tapped for Clinton 'Dreamer' Campaign Tied to Soros-Funded Voter Effort.  An illegal immigrant who was tapped by the Hillary Clinton campaign for a new effort to register Latino voters is tied to a multi-million dollar voter registration effort funded by George Soros.  The Clinton campaign announced the "Mi Sueño, Tu Voto" — or "My Dream, Your Vote" — program on Sunday [8/14/2016].  The program uses stories about illegal immigrant children who are prohibited from voting to inspire Latino voters to register and vote against Donald Trump and Republicans, the Associated Press reported.

Architect Of DC Election Fraud Hit With 3 Months In Jail.  A judge sentenced the architect of an illegal, all-cash "shadow campaign" Monday [8/15/2016] to three months in prison for violating campaign finance laws in the 2010 mayoral election of Vincent Gray.  Jeffrey Thompson, who alleges Gray knew about the illegal cash campaign, pleaded guilty to the campaign corruption in 2014 and cooperated with investigators.  U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly delivered the unexpected sentence, which exceeded the requests of prosecutors who asked only for six months of home confinement, reports WJLA.

How to Hack an Election in 7 Minutes.  With a few cursory clicks of a mouse, [Princeton professor Andrew] Appel parted with $82 and became the owner of an ungainly metallic giant called the Sequoia AVC Advantage, one of the oldest and vulnerable, electronic voting machines in the United States (among other places it's deployed in Louisiana, New Jersey, Virginia and Pennsylvania). No sooner did a team of bewildered deliverymen roll the 250-pound device into a conference room near Appel's cramped, third-floor office than the professor set to work.  He summoned a graduate student named Alex Halderman, who could pick the machine's lock in seven seconds.  Clutching a screwdriver, he deftly wedged out the four ROM chips — they weren't soldered into the circuit board, as sense might dictate — making it simple to replace them with one of his own:  A version of modified firmware that could throw off the machine's results, subtly altering the tally of votes, never to betray a hint to the voter.

Clinton campaign enlists undocumented 'Dreamers' for voter registration drive.  Hillary Clinton is enlisting undocumented "Dreamers" into a new voter registration drive aimed at signing up sympathetic voters with warnings that Donald Trump's immigration plans could result in their deportation — though the Dreamers themselves cannot legally vote.  Clinton's national voter registration program, called "Mi Sueño, Tu Voto/My Dream, Your Vote," was announced Sunday [8/14/2016], on the four-year anniversary of the 2012 order that temporarily shielded from deportation some young immigrants brought to the country illegally as children.

Clinton Campaign Launches Voter Registration Effort Led By Illegal Aliens.  The Hillary Clinton campaign on Sunday [8/14/2016] announced a voter registration effort led by illegal immigrants on the four year anniversary of President Barack Obama's executive action to protect illegal aliens from deportation.  According to a statement the campaign launched "'Mi Sueño, Tu Voto' (My Dream, Your Vote), to organize DREAMers to mobilize their communities and ask voters to consider what is at stake for their families in November."

Why Clinton is enlisting undocumented immigrants who can't vote.  Hillary Clinton's campaign announced Sunday [8/14/2016] that they would be recruiting a so-called "DREAMers," undocumented immigrants who were brought to the country as children, to help with the campaign.  But since "DREAMers" are undocumented, they're not allowed to vote.  The name "DREAMer" comes from the so-called DREAM Act, a legislative proposal that has been repeatedly been introduced in various forms since it was first proposed in 2001.  DREAM stands for Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors.  While each version of the legislation that has been introduced has varied considerably in details, all versions of the act would provide an easier path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants brought to the country as children as long as certain qualifications are met.

Now Trump claims only electoral fraud can stop him winning Pennsylvania and urges supporters to watch polling stations.  Donald Trump has insisted that the only way he'll lose Pennsylvania in November's election is if he's cheated out of victory in the battleground state.  Addressing a rally in Altoona, Pennsylvania, Trump told his supporters his campaign will be keeping a close eye on the state to ensure 'other people don't come in and vote five times.'  'The only way we can lose, in my opinion — I really mean this, Pennsylvania — is if cheating goes on,' the 70-year-old Republican nominee told the crowd, according to CNN.

Trump campaign launches drive to recruit 'election observers'.  Donald Trump's campaign is seeking to recruit "election observers" following the Republican nominee's repeated claims that the general election is "rigged."  In a move that's unprecedented in a presidential election, the campaign late this week launched a page on its website proclaiming, "Help Me Stop Crooked Hillary From Rigging This Election!  Please fill out this form to receive more information about becoming a volunteer Trump Election Observer."  Those who wish to be a Trump "observer" are asked to fill out information on the website that should match their voter registration.  Once submitted, voters are directed to a donation page.

Obama Administration Set To'Oversee' U.S. Elections.  President Barack Obama is considering plans to allow his administration to take full administrative control over the upcoming presidential elections, citing 'security concerns' as justification.  As various news articles report on the alleged danger to American elections from Russian hackers, there is pressure on the government to allow a federal agency to protect the elections from these hackers.

If The November Election Is Hacked, Blame Al Gore.  After the hack of the Democratic National Committee's server, the scale of which is much larger than first believed, there has been lots of discussion of the possibility of foreign governments breaking into electronic voting systems.  It's a very realistic concern, one that has been raised for years, and if it were to happen, it could have a huge impact, since around 4 in 10 voters will be casting ballots using electronic voting machines this year.  If that were to happen, you can point a finger of blame at Al Gore.  Not because he invented the internet, but because of what he did in 2000.

Media Are Flat Wrong to Dismiss Voter-Fraud Concerns.  Yes, Donald Trump has muddied the issue of possible voter fraud in the November election with his comment that the only way Hillary Clinton can win Pennsylvania is by way of stolen votes.  There doesn't seem to be an issue that Trump can't handle without hyperbole and exaggeration.  But the media pile-on that Trump has experienced over his call for election observers to monitor the polls in Pennsylvania is unfair.  The Los Angeles Times claimed that his remarks calling for poll monitors in Pennsylvania had "strong racial overtones," even though he never mentioned race.  "The comments raised the specter of confrontations on Election Day in precincts with many minority voters," the Times reported.  Other commentators rebutted Trump by repeating spurious claims that voter fraud is extremely rare.

Tom Fitton Warns of Massive Voter Fraud Danger in Current Presidential Election.  A soon-to-be-released book by New York Times bestselling author Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton warns that America may now be facing the greatest voter fraud danger in recent history.  And it lays the blame for the crisis directly at the feet of President Barack Obama and his Justice Department.  The book — Clean House — cites examples nationwide of attempts by the Obama Justice Department to thwart efforts to clean up voter rolls, require voter ID at the polls, and prevent voter intimidation.

Trump Is Right:  Elections Can Be Rigged.  Chicago (note: the home town of President Obama) is infamous for allegations of voter fraud.  Richard Nixon went to his grave believing Chicago Mayor Richard Daley had stolen the 1960 presidential election for John F. Kennedy.  And von Spakovsky gives chapter and verse about Chicago's vote manipulation history.  In 1982 there was a hotly contested race for governor of Illinois between Republican James Thompson and Democrat Adlai Stevenson III.

Trump Is Right:  Elections Can Be Rigged.  The point here is that whether we are talking LBJ's stolen Senate race in 1948, the 1960 presidential election, a 1982 gubernatorial race in Illinois or a 2008 presidential election in Pennsylvania, "rigged elections" are far more common than the media leads Americans to believe.  To think that President Obama — a son of Chicago whose entire political career was based on a Chicago Democratic Party where voter fraud, aka rigging elections, was described by an FBI agent as "an accepted way of life in Chicago" — thinks Trump's warning is "ridiculous" is not only ridiculous but laughably disingenuous.  Donald Trump is right to raise the warning flags about a rigged election — and raise them right now.

What are the chances the Democrats will steal the election?  [Scroll down]  Left-wingers have dismissed Trump's concerns as fear-mongering.  One cable news organization, known affectionately as the "Clinton News Network," rebuked one of my Fox News colleagues for advancing what they called "conspiracy theories."  But protecting the integrity of the ballot box is hardly a conspiracy theory.  And based on what happened four years ago, the Trump campaign has some valid concerns.  In 2012 Mitt Romney got zero votes in 59 Philadelphia voting divisions.  ZERO!  CBS News said at first blush — it seemed almost impossible.

Use It or Lose It:  Ohio Battles Over Cleansing Voter Registration List.  U.S. District Judge George C. Smith rejected a lawsuit June 29 that attempted to block the Ohio secretary of state from purging Ohio's voter rolls of people who had not cast a ballot in the past six years unless they had updated their registration or responded to queries about their addresses.  The American Civil Liberties Union and Demos filed the suit on behalf of the A. Philip Randolph Institute and the Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless.  The plaintiffs' attorneys appealed the decision, and the Sixth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments from both sides July 27.  Although the Ohio secretary of state has not released a list of purged voters, Reuters reported close to 144,000 names could've been erased in just the state's three largest counties.

The Editor says...
The obstacles faced by homeless people on Election Day is a red herring.  Homeless people are homeless for a variety of reasons, mostly having to do with their own unwise decisions.  They are victims of only themselves.  The real issue here is the ability of Democrats to round up people who live under bridges and highway overpasses and take them to the polls.  These are people who probably know nothing about Islam, Planned Parenthood, Common Core, fracking, the Second Amendment, income taxes, or the Supreme Court, but they can be taught how to mark a ballot, and the friendly Democrats will take care of the rest.

Fareed Zakaria calls for mandatory voting.  Demonstrating that no idea is so bad that it will lack adherents, CNN's most fatuous pundit advocated on air for mandatory voting.  Just what we need: another restriction on our freedom, the government telling us what we must do.  And what kind of votes will be cast?  Will they be knowledgeable electors, or merely casual drive-by votes in which a trivial factor or a vague impression, not powerful enough to impel a person to vote, now becomes the basis for a choice?  This spectacularly awful idea has only one merit for one party.  It would almost certainly assure that Democrats would establish a one-party state.

America's Electronic Voting Machines Are Scarily Easy Targets.  We've previously discussed the sad state of electronic voting machines in America, but it's worth a closer look as we approach election day itself, and within the context of increased cyber-hostilities between the US and Russia.  Besides, by now states have had plenty of warning since a damning report by the Brennan Center for Justice about our voting machine vulnerabilities came out last September.  Surely matters must have improved since then.  Well, not exactly.  In fact, not really at all.

How Hackers Could Destroy Election Day.  Stealing and leaking emails from the Democratic National Committee could be just the start.  Hacking the presidential election itself could be next, a bipartisan group of former intelligence and security officials recently warned.  Whoever was behind the DNC hack also could target voting machines and the systems for tabulating votes, which are dangerously insecure.  "Election officials at every level of government should take this lesson to heart: our electoral process could be a target for reckless foreign governments and terrorist groups," wrote 31 members of the Aspen Institute Homeland Security Group, which includes a former director of the Central Intelligence Agency and a former secretary of Homeland Security.  That echoes warnings computer security experts have been sounding for more than a decade:  that the system for casting and counting votes in this country is also ripe for mischief.

Why Trump May Be Absolutely Right That Election Could Be Rigged.  A documentary film premiered earlier this year at the Tribeca Film Festival that takes a look into election integrity issues, including voter irregularities and risks associated with electronic voting machines.  Amid reports of high profile hacks at organizations affiliated with the Democratic Party, and Donald Trump's assertions that the election might be rigged, election integrity issues are sure to remain a key topic this election season.  The opening scene of the trailer for Jason Grant Smith's documentary film I Voted? really encapsulates how little the average voter thinks about how the vote is actually recorded.

Trump camp on 'rigged' elections: 'We have to be worried' if relying on feds.  Donald Trump's campaign chief on Friday doubled down on the GOP presidential nominee's claim of election rigging after criticism from President Obama.  Obama laughed off Trump's claim on Thursday at a Pentagon press conference, calling it "ridiculous" for the business mogul to even suggest.  "For someone whose career got jumpstarted by the Chicago machine I was surprised to hear him say that," Trump campaign chief Paul Manafort remarked Friday on Fox News's "America's Newsroom."

The Coming Election Fraud.  Obama has co-opted every federal agency tasked with providing honest oversight of the election process.  From the Federal Election Commission to the FBI and ultimately the Justice Department itself, the Clintons and the Democrats know that there will be no negative consequences to any and all law breaking that they undertake to steal the election.  Voter intimidation by gangs of Clinton thugs will be given the response that the situation will be "investigated."  In modern day Government usage "investigation" is simply a euphemism for "we intend to do nothing."  Release of e-mails proving the corruption and collusion of the Democratic National Committee with the Clinton campaign are simply ignored by the Media and the watch dog agencies of the Government. [...] It is now up to the Republican governors, especially, to plan for the onslaught of illegal election activities in their States.

22 signs of Democrat Voter Fraud in 2012 Election.  [#1] According to the Election Protection Coalition, voters across the United States reported more than 70,000 voting problems by 5 PM Eastern time on election day.  [#2] There were 59 voting divisions in the city of Philadelphia where Mitt Romney did not receive a single vote.  In those voting divisions, the combined vote total was 19,605 for Barack Obama and 0 for Mitt Romney.  [#3] The overall voter turnout rate in Philadelphia was only about 60 percent.  But in the areas of Philadelphia where Republican poll watchers were illegally removed, the voter turnout rate was over 90% and Obama received over 99% of the vote.  Officials in Philadelphia have already ruled out an investigation.

The Case for Paper Ballots.  The voting machines in Irvine print a paper copy of your electronic ballot before you press "vote."  In theory, the paper record would be used to substantiate voters' intentions in the case of fraud allegations.  I like it, although who's to say those paper rolls don't get incinerated at just about the same time one of the candidates cries foul.

After DNC hack, the case for paper ballots.  Voting systems rely on trust.  Voters have to trust that their own vote is recorded and counted accurately; they also have to trust that the overall count is accurate, and that only eligible voters are allowed to vote. (When an ineligible voter casts a vote, it cancels out the vote of a legitimate voter every bit as much as if his or her ballot had simply been shredded.)  The problem is that electronic systems — much less the Internet-based systems that some people are talking about moving to — can't possibly provide that degree of reliability.  They're too easy to hack, and alterations are too easy to conceal.  If the powers-that-be can't protect confidential emails, or government employees' security information, then they can't guarantee the sanctity of voting systems.

Kansas judge rules 17,500 suspended voters can cast ballots in all races.  A Shawnee County judge has ruled that 17,500 voters can have their votes counted in state and local races as well as federal ones in Tuesday's Kansas primary election.  "Losing one's vote is an irreparable harm in my opinion," Judge Larry Hendricks said in his ruling Friday [7/29/2016].  A state board approved a rule earlier this month to allow people to vote only in federal elections — not state and local ones — if they registered at DMV offices but failed to provide proof of citizenship as required by Kansas law.

Virginia Governor to Ignore Court Rebuke and Give Felons the Vote.  Washington, D.C., isn't the only place where the separation of powers and constitutional forms are under attack.  In Virginia, Governor Terry McAuliffe was rebuked by his state's Supreme Court on Friday [7/22/2016] for his attempt to circumvent the language of the Virginia Constitution — and the will of the General Assembly — by unilaterally decreeing voting rights for some 200,000 released felons.  (President Obama defeated Mitt Romney by less than 150,000 votes in Virginia in 2012.)  Now, after the state's high court ruled that McAuliffe has no power to issue an order that effectively changes the Virginia Constitution, McAuliffe has defiantly responded by suggesting he'll get around the court's verdict by issuing 200,000 orders.

Va. Supreme Court overturns Terry McAuliffe's action on felon voting rights.  Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe said Saturday he already has begun restoring the voting rights of convicted felons one-by-one, after the state Supreme Court rescinded his executive action granting voting rights en masse to more than 200,000 people convicted of serious crimes.  "Last night I instructed my staff to comply with the court's order and individually restore the rights of the more than 13,000 Virginians who had successfully registered to vote following my April 22nd executive order," Mr. McAuliffe said in an email to supporters.  "Soon they will have their rights back and will be able to have a voice in their society once and for all."

Virginia Gov. McAuliffe Still Plans to Give Back Felons' Voting Rights Despite Court Loss.  In a 4-3 ruling announced Friday [7/22/2016], the Supreme Court of Virginia struck down Governor Terry McAuliffe's executive order that restored voting rights to over 200,000 felons.  McAuliffe hasn't given up the policy, however.  In a statement published Friday, he called the lawsuit by local GOP politicians an "overtly political action," and declared a change in tactics.  "The men and women whose voting rights were restored by my executive action should not be alarmed," he wrote.  "I will expeditiously sign nearly 13,000 individual orders to restore the fundamental rights of the citizens who have had their rights restored and registered to vote.  And I will continue to sign orders until I have completed restoration for all 200,000 Virginians."

Philadelphia Isn't Removing Felons From Voting Rolls.  The city of Philadelphia is not removing incarcerated felons from its voter rolls despite being hit with a lawsuit, according to a watchdog group.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation, an Indiana-based election integrity group, sued the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in April over its questionable voter rolls.  After meeting with city officials, the watchdog group announced that the city had not removed felons from those who are eligible to vote.

Virginia Supreme Court rules against McAuliffe on felon voting rights.  The Virginia Supreme Court on Friday struck down Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe's executive order that had restored voting rights to released felons.  In the 4-3 decision, the court said it "respectfully disagrees" with the governor's claim he had the authority to make such comprehensive reforms to voting laws.  McAuliffe had announced earlier this year a plan to give more than 200,000 convicted felons the chance to vote in elections, run for public office and sit on a jury following the successful completion of their sentences.

Virginia Supreme Court strikes down McAuliffe order on felons' voting rights.  The Virginia Supreme Court on Friday [7/22/2016] ruled against Gov. Terry McAuliffe's executive order seeking to reinstate the right to vote to approximately 206,000 Virginians who had been convicted of a felony but had completed their sentences.  Writing for a 4-3 court, Chief Justice Donald W. Lemons held that the "assertion that a Virginia governor has the power to grant blanket, group pardons" is "irreconcilable" with the Constitution of Virginia.

Court Slams McAuliffe for Lack of Transparency in Felon Voting Order.  Judges on Virginia's highest court criticized the lack of transparency surrounding Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe's executive action to restore voting rights to 206,000 felons.  The State Supreme Court held a hearing on Tuesday after Republican lawmakers sued to block the executive order, which they say is an unconstitutional overreach of power by the governor's office.  Previous governors have issued restoration of voting rights on an individual basis.

This Bill Could Automatically Register 50 Million People To Vote.  A bill introduced this week in Congress could automatically make as many as 50 million people eligible to join the electorate.  Democratic lawmakers proposed what they call the Automatic Voter Registration Act of 2016 to streamline the registration process.  Voter turnout in the U.S. typically falls behind other developed countries.

The Editor says...
[#1] What voters do in other countries is irrelevant and immaterial.  [#2] Voters in many other countries are required to vote, which means their level of "participation" will naturally be very high.  [#3] The registration of 50 million additional voters — most of whom presumably have no intention of voting — is a recipe for voter fraud.

Rampant Voter Fraud Alleged In Minnesota.  Same day registration and other liberal "reforms" have made it easy for ineligible voters to cast ballots in many states.  When law-abiding citizens point out that liberal policies enable voter fraud, the left's response is always that 1) voter fraud hardly ever happens, so 2) you must be a racist.  Typically subtle liberal argumentation.  Here in Minnesota, a case is pending in our Supreme Court that challenges same day registration and various actions by our Democratic Secretary of State that have enabled illegal voting.  I haven't yet had time to evaluate the plaintiffs' legal arguments, but the factual allegations are explosive: [...]

Busted! DNC caught in $100 million voter scheme.  A foreign billionaire and seven-figure donor to the Clinton Foundation has been caught funding a reportedly illegal voting scheme that links straight to the Democratic National Committee and presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.  A computer hacker who goes by the moniker Guccifer 2.0 recently leaked emails allegedly from the DNC outlining their 2016 general election strategies — and one of them details a coordinated effort with a foreign entity, funded entirely with $100 million from big-time Clinton donor and Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss, to influence the results of the 2016 election.  The group was allegedly targeting pro-Clinton demographics for voter registration as well as "outreach, organizing, and legal and policy advocacy on voting laws", and according to Washington Beacon reporter Lachlan Markay, that's illegal.

3M+ 'Remain' Petition Uses 'Script' To 'Fake' Signatures: 25,000 From North Korea, 2,800 From Uninhabitable Antarctic.  Questions are being raised as to the true number of UK citizens signing a petition to urge another European Union membership referendum as evidence emerged that activists are encouraging foreign signatories.  Some critics claim that a "bot" or "script" is being used to automatically generate names and signatories.  As of early Sunday afternoon [6/26/2016], over 3.1 million signatures had been registered on the petition named:  "EU Referendum Rules triggering a 2nd EU Referendum" which calls for the "Government to implement a rule that if the remain or leave vote is less than 60% based a turnout less than 75% there should be another referendum."

70% Of British Parliament Petition Signatures Demanding Another EU Referendum Don't Live In The U.K.  The petition is being pushed by disgruntled left-wing activists who voted to "REMAIN" in the European Union and lost the original referendum by over 1.3 million votes to the larger majority who wanted to LEAVE.  However, enterprising internet researchers have discovered most of the actual signatures for the second referendum are from people who do not live in the United Kingdom.

Petition for Second Referendum Exposed As Fake.  Pro-European spammers have fooled the British establishment into believing a million people a day have signed a petition to hold a second referendum on Brexit.  The petition demands the referendum rules are retrospectively changed forcing a second vote on Britain's membership of the EU.  But doubts were raised about the authenticity of those signing after evidence that a code was being used emerged.  It shows how the petition website was tricked into registering millions of 'signatures' from people who do not exist.

Conservatives Battle Virginia Governor's Order to Allow Ex-Felons to Vote.  On multiple fronts, conservatives are challenging Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe's executive order to restore voting rights to ex-felons who have completed their prison sentences.  This week, Judicial Watch, the conservative advocacy group, filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Bedford County, seeking to prevent ex-felons who gain from McAuliffe's April 22 order from voting in the November presidential election.  The lawsuit was filed on behalf of several Virginia voters, who claim their "lawful votes" will be "diminished" by the votes of the ex-felons.

Judicial Watch Sues Virginia Gov. McAuliffe Over Executive Order Granting 206,000 Felons Voting Rights.  Judicial Watch announced that it today [6/14/2016] filed a lawsuit on behalf of several Virginia voters against Governor Terry McAuliffe and other commonwealth official over McAuliffe's executive order that attempts to restore voting rights to about 206,000 convicted felons.  The lawsuit was filed in the Circuit Court of Bedford County, VA, requesting an injunction preventing the enforcement of Walker et al. v.  McAuliffe et al.  On April 22, 2016, McAuliffe signed an executive order titled "Order for Restoration of Rights."  McAuliffe reportedly plans to sign similar orders granting voting rights to groups of felons on a monthly basis.

A felon is not supposed to emerge from prison with equal or better social status than he had when he went up the river. Having a permanent criminal record and being socially scarred for life is part of the deterrent value of prison time.

City of Denver looks to register inmates to vote.  The Denver Elections Division is reaching out to an unlikely group this election season — inmates.  In a first-of-its-kind voter outreach program, elections officials are determined to update records and register all inmates who are eligible to vote in the two Denver jails.  Currently, there are about 2,000 inmates in the Denver jail system.  And in a swing state like Colorado, those jailhouse votes might just be the tipping point.  "We identified the inmate population as a population that may experience some logistically barriers to voting," said Alton Dillard, spokesman for the Denver Elections Division.

The Extortion Election of 2016.  In 2016 the respective party hierarchies premeditatedly skewed the primary process and a plurality but less than 19% of all registered voters in the country voted for both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump as the nominees for president.

San Francisco Moves to Open Voting to Illegals.  San Francisco Board of Supervisors member Eric Mar says the political climate is right to grant illegal immigrants the right to vote.  While even notoriously liberal San Francisco voters have rejected past efforts to grant voting privileges to illegals, Fox News reports that Mar thinks the backlash against Donald Trump will yield a strong turn-out of Latino and anti-Trump voters to the polls to pass his proposed charter amendment.

San Francisco to try yet again to give illegal immigrants voting rights.  After two failed bids to grant voting rights to illegal immigrants, some San Francisco officials believe they have found the man who can make it happen:  Donald Trump.  A proposed charter amendment drafted by Board of Supervisors member Eric Mar would give illegal immigrants with kids in the public school system the right to vote in school elections.  Voters have rejected two previous ballot proposals, but Mar is betting on anti-Trump sentiment to carry the pro-illegal immigrant proposal if he can get it on the November ballot.

'It was just chaos': Broken machines, incomplete voter rolls leave some wondering whether their ballots will count.  California voters faced a tough time at the polls Tuesday [6/7/2016], with many voters saying they have encountered broken machines, polling sites that opened late and incomplete voter rolls, particularly in Los Angeles County.  [Thus,]  Instead of a quick in-and-out vote, many California voters were handed the dreaded pink provisional ballot — which takes longer to fill out, longer for election officials to verify and which tends to leave voters wondering whether their votes will be counted.

Voter id strictness
When will GOP Do Something About Vote Fraud in States They Control?  Reince Priebus is at the head of nothing.  The GOP is no longer a real party, and it shows when they can brag that they have control of 31 state legislatures and 31 governorships can't and won't enact real voter ID laws.  Somebody on twitter put up this graphic and I was floored, look at all the states that are Republican-led and have extremely loose voter laws.


Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe 'Mistakenly' Granted Voting Rights to High-Profile Killers Still Serving Time.  Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe's sweeping order to grant all felons voting rights just months before the presidential election will allow some felons who are still in prison or on supervised release to vote.  McAuliffe previously claimed only felons who completed their sentences and were no longer on parole could have their voting rights restored.

The Dead are Alive and Voting in California.  The only question is how many Undead-Americans will vote for Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton.  Because the dead are voting.  And we must not deny the franchise to undead Democrats.  That would be wrong and un-American.  It would put us on the wrong side of history.  California can lead the way to the restoration of voting rights for the dead, right after voting rights for felons.

East Liverpool woman indicted on 35 voter-fraud charges.  A Columbiana County grand jury indicted an East Liverpool woman on 35 felony voter fraud counts.  Rebecca Hammonds, 33, was indicted on 32 counts of false voter registration and three counts of false signatures.

Election Integrity Watch.  Below is a collection of news articles about allegations, investigations and convictions of voter fraud.  It is not a comprehensive list, but is updated regularly with new stories about election fraud.  A common talking point of election integrity opponents is that voter fraud is rarer than being struck by lightning.  Emergency rooms must be swamped with an epidemic of lightning strikes in this country based on the fraud cases identified here.

Votes Being Cast From Grave Year After Year.  A comparison of records by David Goldstein, investigative reporter for CBS2/KCAL9, has revealed hundreds of so-called dead voters in Southern California, a vast majority of them in Los Angeles County.  "He took a lot of time choosing his candidates," said Annette Givans of her father, John Cenkner.  Cenkner died in Palmdale in 2003.  Despite this, records show that he somehow voted from the grave in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2010.  But he's not the only one.

Hillary's Electoral 'Luck'.  During much of evening of May 17, Sanders was ahead of Hillary in the Kentucky primary.  Then, with a Cattlegate sort of "luck," Hillary pulled ahead by the infinitesimal rate of 46.8% to 46.3% and won the primary.  Hillary won Kentucky by the same microscopic margin that she won the first state, Iowa, by 49.9% to 49.6%, in a symbolic victory of great political value. [...] Could Hillary's supporters have stolen enough votes to deliver by the smallest of margins just enough votes to give her "wins" in states like Kentucky?  One of the tightest allies of the Clintons is Allison Lundergan Grimes, the Kentucky secretary of state and chair of the Kentucky State Board of Elections.  She actively campaigned for Hillary in the Kentucky primary despite being the state elected officer to oversee the vote-counting.  The election results were posted by her office almost instantly and reflected her publicly stated opinion almost as soon as the polls closed that "there is no revolution for Sanders."

5 Huge Stories the Media Ignored While Arguing Over Which Bathroom to Use.  [#2] Somebody was finally arrested for voter fraud, but it wasn't the people committing it:  This week, Anti-Media also reported on a Florida-based hacker, David Michael Levin, who exposed security flaws in the website of the Lee County Elections Office and the Division of Elections in Tallahassee.  He shared them with authorities in the hopes of fixing the problem, but instead was arrested.

Surge of immigrants seeking citizenship, voting rights before elections.  The number of immigrants seeking U.S. citizenship, key to voting in the fall elections, is at its highest in four years as Democratic Latino groups step up campaigns to expand the Hispanic vote to help Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Obama: Election Day should be a holiday.  President Obama says the United States should look at what other countries do to encourage voting, including automatic registration, voting on weekends, or making Election Day a national holiday.  "We are the only advanced democracy that makes it deliberately difficult for people to vote," Obama said in an interview with the student newspaper at Rutgers University, where the president delivers a commencement address this weekend.  Obama noted that "some of it has to do with the nature of our history and our Constitution, where we allow individual states to determine their own processes for structuring elections within certain boundaries."

The Many Ages of Adulthood in the Nanny State.  The San Francisco Board of Supervisors is flirting with the idea of letting 16- and 17-year-olds vote in local elections. [...] Of course the city's progressive wing wants high school kids to vote — they want to lure young people into the tent before they start working for a living and paying taxes.  At a Chronicle debate Wednesday for the race to replace state Sen. Mark Leno, candidate Kim said she loves the scheme.  She explained, "18 years old can be a very awkward time to register to vote," before adding that it's "better for young people to register to vote when they're living at home with their families." In other words, it's easier to get teens to register when they are under their parents' charge and before they are independent.  Translation:  It's easier to get children to do what they are told.

Report: Leftist Groups Registered 2,000 Virginia Felons to Vote Dem in Two Weeks.  Leftist groups sprung into action after Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe granted 206,000 felons the right to vote in April, including rapists and murderers, and have been working around the clock to get them on voter rolls.  According to a report by the Washington Post, activists want to swing the state for the Democratic nominee in November and for Democratic state officials.  They've registered over 2,000 felons in two weeks.  Hours after McAuliffe gave his order, activists were in poor and urban neighborhoods to start signing up ex-cons.

Yes, the Left Does Cheat — They Do Stuff the Ballot Box.  According to [the Left] and their apologists, there is no such thing as voter fraud, therefore there is no need for any voter I.D. laws or checks of any kind. [...] But we all know the left cheats.  It's been this way since the Kennedy presidential election.  They bus in people from out of town to vote, dead people rise from the grave to cast their ballot, they illegally register voters, and they enlist the New Black Panthers to intimidate voters like in Philadelphia.  And if that isn't enough, they stuff the ballot box.  Of course the left denies all of these assertions.  Prove it they say.  You cannot make such incendiary claims without hard evidence.  Well, it just so happens that the Governor of North Carolina has found such evidence — and plenty of it.

New Yorkers File Lawsuit After Their Party Registration Suddenly Changes.  More than 200 New York voters have a joined a lawsuit that seeks to change the New York primary on Tuesday to an "open-primary" format, allowing anyone to vote for any candidate regardless of party affiliation.  New York is a "closed-primary" state that required voters to have registered by November of 2015 with the party whose primary they wished to vote in.  According to the New York Daily News, the lawsuit will be filed on Monday [4/18/2016] in Brooklyn on behalf of many New York voters who claim their voter party registration had changed — after the November deadline — without their consent to either "not affiliated" or "Independent," which makes them ineligible to vote in the upcoming closed-primary election.

Election fraud feared as hackers target voter records.  Since December, hundreds of millions of voters in the U.S., the Philippines, Turkey and Mexico have had their data discovered on the web in unprotected form.  In some instances, legitimate security researchers found the information, but in others, malicious hackers are suspected of pilfering the data for criminal purposes.  The data breaches are raising questions as the U.S. considers whether to move toward electronic balloting.  More people than ever are using the internet to register to vote and to request mail-in ballots.  Some states have even become vote-by-mail only in recent years.  If you can't keep the voter registration records safe, what makes you think you can keep the votes safe?" asked Pamela Smith, president of election watchdog Verified Voting.

Virginia GOP to sue governor over convicted felons voting.  Republicans in Virginia plan to file a lawsuit against Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe for extending voting rights to more than 200,000 convicted felons.  "Gov.  McAuliffe's flagrant disregard for the Constitution of Virginia and the rule of law must not go unchecked," Virginia Senate Republican Leader Tommy Norment said in a statement, according to Time.  Republicans fear McAuliffe's executive order will benefit Hillary Clinton, the likely Democratic presidential nominee, according to Time.

Gov. McAuliffe Violated State Constitution by Restoring the Vote to Felons.  When Virginia Democrat Governor Terry McAuliffe (shown) announced on April 22 that he was restoring the civil rights — including voting rights — of 206,000 convicted felons, he must have expected some pushback from Republican lawmakers.  After all, the felons include violent and repeat offenders.  But did he anticipate the extent of the pushback, with one Republican lawmaker pointing out that the governor's executive order violates the state constitution?  Governor McAuliffe responded by telling Republicans to "quit complaining."  This is not the first time McAuliffe has overstepped his reach and found himself in the hot seat.  In December of 2015, he announced that he had unilaterally decided to no longer recognize the concealed carry permits from 25 states that had previously been recognized.  His hubris was short lived in that case; before the new policy could even go into effect, McAuliffe was force to back-peddle and honor those permits anyway.

The Prison Vote.  The corrupt governor of Virginia, Terry McAuliffe, announced the other day that ex-cons will be granted the vote just in time of the presidential election.  His assumption is that, identity politics being what it is, the ex-con vote will naturally flock to Hillary Clinton, supporting someone they see as their own.  There has always been an assumption that convicts, if given the chance, will vote for people like themselves.  That's the assumption.  The reality is something different.  Ex-cons tend not to vote at all.  Those who would be inclined to vote are those who have gone the other way with their lives, embracing religion or social advocacy to help ex-cons get on the right path.  It's a small club that will not make a difference in an election.

Hillary Clinton: 'Proud of My Friend' Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe for Granting Voting Rights to Violent Felons.  Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton praised her former campaign chair, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, for granting thousands of violent felons the right to vote, and tweeted she's "proud" of him for "breaking down barriers."

The Editor says...
Those barriers were put in place for a reason.  Anyone who is breaking down those barriers is doing the country a great disservice.

McAuliffe Accused of Violating Virginia Constitution.  Virginia Republicans are considering efforts to block Democratic governor Terry McAuliffe's new executive order restoring the voting rights of the state's former felons.  McAuliffe's order, announced on Friday, would give nearly 206,000 violent and nonviolent convicts who have served their time the ability vote.  Speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates Bill Howell, a Republican from the Fredericksburg area, told The Weekly Standard there was little the legislature could do to stop the executive action.  The state's constitution, he said, allows governors broad clemency power.  But, Howell said, that power doesn't include blanket clemency in the manner of McAuliffe's order.  Some Republicans are considering pursuing a legal challenge to the order.

Republicans: Virginia Gov McAuliffe restored felon voting rights to help Clinton, 'political opportunism'.  Virginia Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe restoring voting rights for roughly 200,000 convicted felons is part of a lauded, national effort to reverse sentencing laws that most affect African Americans.  But Republicans are suggesting McAuliffe, a long-time Clinton supporter, went too far by including violent criminals and that his move is a "transparent effort to win votes."  The governor's executive order allows Virginia felons, includes convicted murders and rapists, who by Friday had completed their sentence and finished supervised release, parole or probation requirements to vote in the swing state in the November presidential elections.

Virginia governor grants voting rights to over 200,000 convicted felons in time for the presidential election.  Virginia's governor signed a sweeping executive order Friday restoring voting rights to some 200,000 convicted felons — and they'll be on the rolls in time to cast ballots in November's presidential election.  Gov. Terry McAuliffe, a Democrat, announced his unprecedented move at an 11 a.m. press conference — and said his order will also allow ex-cons to serve on a jury, hold elected office and become a notary public.  The order is intended to rectify Virginia's long, troubled history of suppressing the black vote, the governor said.  "Too often in both our distant and recent history, politicians have used their authority to restrict people's ability to participate in our democracy," McAuliffe said in a statement.

Virginia governor enables 200,000 felons to vote in November.  More than 200,000 convicted felons will be able to cast ballots in the swing state of Virginia in November's election under a sweeping executive order by Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe announced Friday [4/22/2016] that restores their rights to vote and run for office.

The Editor says...
The felon's "ability to participate" in voting is customarily taken away as part of his or her punishment.  This is an incentive to refrain from felonious behavior.  In the good old days, everyone understood this concept, but unfortunately the dumbed-down public schools no longer teach civics, and the general public relies too much on sympathy rather than reason.  Governor McAuliffe is not an ignorant man:  He knows exactly what he's doing.

Voter Registration Purge Alleged in New York Primary, Judge to Hold Hearing.  LawNewz.com has confirmed a federal judge in New York has scheduled a hearing for 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday [4/19/2016] in a lawsuit filed by the activist group Election Justice USA on behalf of over 200 New Yorkers who can't vote for the candidate of their choice on Tuesday because they say their voter party registration was suddenly changed without their consent.  The lawsuit could impact tens of thousands of independent voters in the state, and comes as millions of New Yorkers head to the polls for the state's primary.  The lawsuit asks the court to enter an order allowing New York primary voters to vote for any candidate on the ballot, regardless of their party affiliation.  New York is a closed primary state that requires primary voters to register with the party whose primary they wish to vote in.

Comptroller Will Audit New York City Board of Elections.  Comptroller Scott Stringer is launching an audit of the city's Board of Elections after reports of problems voting in today's primary elections and the purging of more than 100,000 voters from rolls in Brooklyn.  "There is nothing more sacred in our nation than the right to vote, yet election after election, reports come in of people who were inexplicably purged from the polls, told to vote at the wrong location or unable to get in to their polling site," Mr. Stringer said in a statement this afternoon [4/19/2016].

Massive Clinton voter fraud in NY.  As New York prepares for its most meaningful presidential primary in decades, some of the candidates' most passionate supporters are finding out they will be spending Election Day on the sidelines.  According to a recent emergency lawsuit filed in a Long Island federal court, there have been "reports of thousands of NY voters being erroneously purged from the rolls."  Many of these purged voters seem to be Bernie Sanders supporters, leading to fresh questions about whether Hillary Clinton's campaign is trying to steal the New York primary.

City of Alexandria Sued for Concealing Election Records.  The city of Alexandria, Va., is being sued in federal court for concealing election records after it was discovered more people are registered to vote in the city than are of voting age.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation, an Indiana-based election integrity group, brought the lawsuit forward on behalf of the Virginia Voters Alliance, Inc., a group dedicated to improving election laws, and David Norcross, a registered voter in Alexandria who is also a member of the Virginia group.  Alexandria has for years maintained voter rolls that contain more registrants who can vote than the total number of citizens of voting age within the city, according to the group.

Philippines election hack: Voter data breach stirs questions.  The Philippines' Commission on Elections (Comelec) is assuring the public that a recent data breach of its website won't compromise the upcoming May 9 national elections.  Comelec Spokesman James Jimenez says no vital voter information such as fingerprints or photos were recovered by the hackers who struck at the end of March. [...] Over the weekend, however, global security company Trend Micro revealed in a blog post that sensitive personal information on over 55-million voters was included in a data dump.  Trend Micro said their probe revealed the unprecedented data dump includes 1.3 million records of overseas Filipino voters, including passport numbers and expiry dates.

Arizona man challenges primary results, alleging misconduct.  An Arizona man filed a lawsuit on Friday [4/8/2016] challenging the results of the state's March presidential primary election, alleging misconduct by officials during a nominating contest that is already mired in controversy.  The lawsuit filed by Tucson resident John Brakey alleges that officials improperly handled voter registration requests and permitted illegal votes to be cast in the election, which was marred by long lines at polling stations and allegations of discrimination against minority voters.

How to report voter fraud.  Most on the right are aware of the voter fraud issue but many have little to no idea how to combat or report violations; consider this your crash course.  First and foremost, step one in any instance where you see or suspect voter fraud is to alert the state officials who oversee the election process.  For most states this is done by the Secretary of State, in other states, there is a State Board of Elections.  Notifying these officials is paramount as they are the ones who ultimately certify and authenticate elections.  Alert them before you call Fox News or blow up Twitter, though drawing as much media attention as possible is beneficial, you want to make sure you follow a process.

Philadelphia Hit With Lawsuit for Concealing Election Records.  The city of Philadelphia is being sued in federal court for refusing to provide information about possible non-citizen voters.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF), a firm based out of Indiana, filed a lawsuit on April 4 on behalf of the American Civil Rights Union (ACRU), an Alexandria, Va.-based election integrity group, against the Philadelphia City Commissioners for their failure to respond to inquiries about voter roll maintenance.  The group says that for years the number of registered voters in Philadelphia nearly exceeded the number of people who are eligible to vote and that the city ranks among the highest in the state of Pennsylvania in this regard.

SCOTUS Gets It Wrong: Noncitizens Should Not Be Counted for Voting Purposes.  In a loss for voters, the Supreme Court has ruled unanimously against two residents of Texas who had argued that the Texas legislature diluted their votes when it used total population to redraw state Senate districts.  In Evenwel v.  Abbott, the Supreme Court allowed states to use total population in redrawing district lines, even though that this includes a large number of noncitizens (legal and illegal), felons, and others who are ineligible to vote.

Supreme Court effective[ly] gives illegal aliens voting power.  The Supreme Court ruled that states cannot draw their congressional districts based on legal voting age populations, in effect preventing them from excluding illegal aliens, who cannot vote.  The Supreme Court unanimously ruled Monday [4/4/2016] that states may satisfy "one person, one vote" rules by drawing legislative districts based on total population of a place, a defeat for conservative interests who wanted the districts based on only voting-age populations.

Nullifying the Republican Primaries.  It wasn't surprising to see that Missouri had yet again changed its ballot.  Rather than punch cards, this time Missouri's ballot was a single sheet of paper on which you inked in the rectangle next to your choice.  Then you fed the sheet into a machine which (supposedly) counted your vote.  I was a little surprised, however, to see that candidates who had dropped out of the race weeks ago were still on the ballot.  There was Carly, and Christie, and other familiar names, and some dude name of Jim Lynch, no doubt a vanity candidacy.

How to Hack an Election.  When [Enrique] Peña Nieto won, [Andrés] Sepúlveda began destroying evidence.  He drilled holes in flash drives, hard drives, and cell phones, fried their circuits in a microwave, then broke them to shards with a hammer.  He shredded documents and flushed them down the toilet and erased servers in Russia and Ukraine rented anonymously with Bitcoins.  He was dismantling what he says was a secret history of one of the dirtiest Latin American campaigns in recent memory.  For eight years, Sepúlveda, now 31, says he traveled the continent rigging major political campaigns.  With a budget of $600,000, the Peña Nieto job was by far his most complex.  He led a team of hackers that stole campaign strategies, manipulated social media to create false waves of enthusiasm and derision, and installed spyware in opposition offices, all to help Peña Nieto, a right-of-center candidate, eke out a victory.

3 Examples of Voter Fraud Across the US.  The Heritage Foundation's voter fraud database catalogues over 400 cases of proven voter fraud throughout America.  Whether it be vote-buying, ineligible voting, false registrations, or fraudulent use of absentee ballots, the database makes clear that voter fraud is a real issue and one that must be effectively addressed — not denied, as some voter reform critics have done — in order to preserve the integrity of the electoral system.  Here are some recent additions to the database: [...]

'Doping the vote' in South Texas triggers federal indictments.  Shady ballot brokers are "doping the vote" in the Rio Grande Valley, an election-watch group says.  Now the FBI is on the case.  "(The politiqueras) took voters to their weed man after voting," Logan Churchwell, a spokesman for True the Vote, told Watchdog.org.  Trafficking in petty cash and dime bags, politiqueras round up voters for South Texas candidates, nearly all Democrats.  The pay-for-ballot activity has resulted in 11 federal indictments so far.  Republicans are turning up the heat on state Democratic Party Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa, a Brownsville resident and longtime political kingmaker in the Rio Grande Valley.

Down with Early Voting!  GOP primary voters in Arizona did the Republic a great service last night [3/22/2016]: They demonstrated the idiocy of early voting and confirmed why it cannot be scrapped soon enough. [...] And, in third place ... Senator Marco Rubio of Florida with 13.4 percent.  Dr. Ben Carson took fifth with 2.7 percent.  These 16.1 percent of voters may have included diehard Marcoites and Carsonians who loyally stuck with their men after their candidates departed the race.  However, the vast majority of these were probably early voters whose ballots had been dropped into precinct boxes as far back as Wednesday, February 24 — one month ago.

Phoenix mayor asks feds to probe Arizona primary issues.  Responding to reports of voters waiting in line for hours to cast their votes in Arizona's primary Tuesday, the mayor of the state capital is asking the federal government to investigate the distribution of polling locations that may have put undue burden on minorities' ability to vote.  Voting in Maricopa County, the state's most populous county where Phoenix is located, lasted until after midnight, more than five hours after polls officially closed.

Hillary cheating scandal erupts in Arizona.  The Arizona Democratic Party has officially announced that it will be investigating multiple accusations of election fraud across the state's Democratic primary vote Tuesday, where voters who claimed to have previously registered as Democrats say their party affiliation was unknowingly changed to independent — and therefore, they weren't allowed to cast ballots in the closed primary.

Arizona and Florida expose early voting debacle.  As of last Wednesday afternoon [3/16/2016], at least a quarter million registered Republicans had already voted in Arizona, taking advantage of the state's 26-day early voting period.  Based on the timeline, this means those 250,000 Arizona Republicans all voted without knowing Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., would no longer be a candidate by election day.  A poll taken last week suggests that 16 percent of Arizona early voters had already cast ballots for Rubio.

Communists, Socialists Plot to Get 9 Million Leftist Immigrants Voting by October.  Reports are pouring in from across the country that thousands of legal permanent residents from around the world have been inspired by Trump's rhetoric to become citizens just so they can vote against him.  They are also inspired by some sketchy leftist organizations fueled by communist and socialist agendas.  The leftists are working on a turnout of nearly nine million immigrant residents who are allegedly eligible for citizenship.  We are constantly being told there are 12 million illegal immigrants here but the left has come up with 9 million residents in addition, many of whom were given Obama amnesty.

Ohio judge rules some 17-year-olds can vote in primary.  An Ohio judge has granted teenagers who will turn 18 before Election Day the right to vote in the state's presidential primary elections in a new decision that could boost Bernie Sanders's chances in the state on Tuesday.

Vast Majority of Likely Voters Oppose Allowing Illegals to Vote In Elections.  The vast majority of likely voters say illegal immigrants should not be allowed to vote, despite a recent push to achieve just that in New York City, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll.  According to Rasmussen, 67 percent of likely U.S. voters say illegal immigrants should not be allowed to vote, even "if they can prove that they live in this country and pay taxes."  Twenty-six percent said they think tax-paying illegals should be allowed to vote.

This is why early voting is a mistake:
Comparison of LA Early Voting Vs. Today's Voting Shows Major Shift to Cruz.  There are now two tiers in this race — Trump/Cruz, and in the second tier, Rubio/Kasich. His numbers at the Kasich level, sometimes below them.

Maybe it's time to just arrest both Clintons.  Stories about someone with the surname Clinton potentially breaking the law aren't exactly hard to come by these days, but they generally revolve around Hillary Clinton's private bathroom closet server.  The one making the rounds this week, however, has to do with her husband.  In the middle of voting during a tight, heavily contested primary in Massachusetts, Bill was out and about stumping for his wife.  Nothing unusual so far, since they had surrogates swarming the state right up until the polls closed.  But the wrinkle in this tale comes from the fact that Bill was doing it inside of and immediately outside a polling station.  And that's against the law.

Why 85,000 people are calling for Bill Clinton's arrest.  Nearly 100,000 people have signed an online petition calling for Bill Clinton's arrest for violating Massachusetts election law on Super Tuesday by campaigning close to — and even inside — polling places.  The drive was launched by supporters of Bernie Sanders, who accused Bubba of stumping for his wife, Hillary, within 150 feet of a polling location in New Bedford and inside others in Newton and Boston's West Roxbury neighborhood.  "This is a call for the immediate arrest of President Bill Clinton for clear, knowing and egregious violation of the campaign laws to swing an election in a significant way.  It could not be any clearer in the Massachusetts General Laws," the petition states.

Bernie Sanders Supporters Want Bill Clinton Charged With Violating Election Law.  The New York Post reports that an online petition, launched by supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), to have Bill Clinton arrested for violating Massachusetts election laws has gathered almost 100,000 signatures.  Clinton seems guilty of the offenses in question.  As the Post notes, there is ample eyewitness testimony, plus video and photographic evidence, of the former President campaigning for his wife within 150 feet of multiple polling stations, which is prohibited under Massachusetts law.

Thousands of Bernie Sanders supporters call for Bill Clinton's arrest.  Thousands of people are calling for Bill Clinton's arrest after the former president allegedly campaigned for his wife too close to polling locations.  In some cases, people are claiming he even campaigned inside polling places.  A petition, signed by 95,000 people, was started by Bernie Sanders supporters who say Bill Clinton was campaigning for Hillary within the 150 feet buffer space of polling locations.

Did Bill Clinton violate election rules in Massachusetts?  Bill Clinton's presence inside a polling location in Boston on Super Tuesday raised concerns about whether the former president violated state rules on election campaigning.  While stumping for his wife, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton entered a polling station at the Holy Name Parish School's gymnasium in West Roxbury early Tuesday.  It was there that he spoke with workers, bought a cup of coffee, and apparently took a photo with one woman, according to press pool reports.

Judge Denies Motion to Halt Voter Citizenship Requirement.  The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia declined to block a rule in three states that requires individuals to prove they are citizens when registering to vote using mail-in registration forms.  The lawsuit was filed by a coalition of left-wing groups, including the League of Women Voters and the NAACP, earlier this month.  Three lawyers representing the liberal organizations have given thousands in campaign contributions to Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton, who on numerous occasions has expressed opposition to voter identification laws on the campaign trial.

In Light of DOJ Malfeasance, EAC Seeks Outside Counsel in Noncitizen-Voting Case.  Tuesday night [2/23/2016], soon after Judge Richard Leon denied the request by the League of Women Voters and the NAACP for a Temporary Restraining Order, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) asked for help in getting a lawyer who would actually defend it in court, which the Justice Department has so far refused to do.  According to lawyers I spoke with, Christy A. McCormick, the chairwoman of the EAC, sent two separate letters (with copies to all of the lawyers in the case) to Judge Leon and Attorney General Loretta Lynch.  The letter to Judge Leon notes the EAC's "grave concerns regarding the potential conflict of interest and failure of the Department of Justice to provide" the EAC with proper representation.

What Would Happen If New York City Went Forward With Letting Illegal Immigrants Vote.  The New York Post is reporting that some members of the Black and Latino Legislative Caucus will be pushing for the New York City Council to pass a law allowing illegal aliens to vote in NYC elections for mayor, comptroller, public advocate, borough president, and City Council.  This is an anti-democratic policy driven by politics that dilutes what it means to be a citizen.  The U.S. Constitution reserves the right to set the qualifications for voters for both state and federal elections to the states themselves.  However, the federal government has exclusive authority over immigration, and federal law makes it a felony for aliens — whether illegal or legal — to register or vote in federal elections.

Will DOJ push for illegal alien voting in 2016 fall flat in court?  [Scroll down]  In short, in accordance with those state laws, local officials must certify the citizenship of those registering to vote on the federal form.  But there's a catch.  Thanks to the 2013 Supreme Court ruling by the late Justice Antonin Scalia, Arizona v. Inter Tribal Council of Arizona, those states can only block registration of federal form applicants in cases where citizenship is not proven if those requirements are explicitly written on the federal form.  Consider that.  What is written on the federal voter registration form by an independent commission can trump the validity of a state law requiring proof of eligibility to register to vote.  Such that, if it's written on the form, the applications can be blocked by the states without said proof, and if it's not, they can't.

AG Lynch pushes illegal alien voting agenda in 2016.  Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today [2/22/2016] issued the following statement in response to the Department of Justice's decision not defend the Election Assistance Commission in the case League of Women Voters v. Newby by consenting to an injunction against the Commission:  "Americans expect that only those eligible to exercise the right to vote will be participating in our 2016 national elections, yet the Obama Administration's lackeys at Attorney General Loretta Lynch's Justice Department are doing everything in their power to allow their new illegal alien power base to vote.

High turn out causes chaos at Nevada caucuses.  [Scroll down]  The result comes after an unexpectedly high turn out caused voting chaos across the state, as reports came in of ballot shortages and identifications going unchecked.  Jeremy Hughes, a Nevada strategist for Marco Rubio, told CNN that at his site, many volunteers had failed to check voters IDs, while individuals were reported to be casting multiple ballots.  Elsewhere, Nevada reporter Karen Castro tweeted that one site had ran out of ballots, which left would-be caucus-goers waiting for a resupply.  Ballot shortages had been reported across a number of sites as turn out far exceeded what was predicted.  Voters at Valley High School in Las Vegas described the scenes as 'overwhelming' and 'very disorganized'.

Caucus chaos in Nevada.  It's getting ugly in Nevada, as reporters at the state's Republican caucuses are spotting irregularities, disorganization and violations of caucus rules.  Much of the controversy has centered around caucus personnel.  At some sites, caucus volunteers were accused of failing to require proper voter identification or take other anti-fraud measures — leading to voters casting multiple ballots.  Other areas were plagued by long lines and missing ballots.  And in one precinct, would-be voters reportedly showed to their caucus location to discover the site hadn't been set up at all.

Federal judge chastises DoJ in noncitizen voter registration case.  The Department of Justice shamefully has been trying to default on its duties and allow an action brought by left-wing groups proceed and overturn a ruling that would prevent noncitizens from registering to vote. [...] Judge Leon was not pleased, and he showed it emphatically yesterday [2/22/2016].  In essence, the EAC — an independent commission with equal representation of both political parties — reversed a ruling undertaken by a bureaucrat serving as an acting executive director, and the left-wing groups are asking for a temporary restraining order (TRO) and permanent injunction (PI) preventing the EAC from allowing states to verify citizenship before registering voters (despite the fact that the Constitution gives states the responsibility for determining who may vote).

An Extraordinary Beat-Down for the DOJ.  I attended a hearing on Monday afternoon [2/22/2016] before District of Columbia federal district court Judge Richard J. Leon that was one of the most "extraordinary" federal court hearings I have ever attended, to use Judge Leon's description of the case.  The hearing was over the temporary restraining order (TRO) and preliminary injunction (PI) being sought by the League of Women Voters and a host of other leftist groups to stop the recent decision of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) to allow Kansas, Georgia, Alabama, and Arizona to enforce their proof-of-citizenship voter-registration requirement.  This morning, as I predicted would happen in an article on Sunday, the U.S. Justice Department took a dive and filed a pleading in which it not only failed to defend the actions of the EAC, but agreed with the plaintiffs and consented to both a TRO and a PI.  Judge Leon called the pleading "unprecedented" and "extraordinary."

Lawsuit: Obama DOJ Goes to Federal Court to Facilitate Noncitizen Voter Registration.  True the Vote (TTV), the nation's leading voters' rights and election integrity organization, today [2/22/2016] offered comment on a recent lawsuit filed by a collection of progressive interest groups with assistance from the U.S. Department of Justice, intent on removing citizenship verification measures in voter registration.  Litigation was initially triggered after the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) granted the requests of Kansas, Georgia and Alabama to require local users of the National Mail Voter Registration Form to submit documentary proof of U.S. citizenship.

Obama Making Sure Non-Citizens Vote.  While everyone is focused on the fisticuffs of this acrimonious primary, Obama is trying to build a firewall of illegal voters to ensure Democrat victory during the general election.  Through endless immigration, Democrats have already created a high floor of electoral support that is creeping ever closer to a permanent majority.  Now, they are trying tip the balance by stopping states from blocking non-citizens from voting. [...] Remember, there are over 23 million non-citizens residing in this country on a permanent basis.  In 2014, three prominent political scientists conducted a study of non-citizens voting and found that up to 6.4% of all non-citizens participated in the 2008 elections and roughly 14% are eligible to vote.

Illegals will be voting in the 2016 election.  You can bet on it, and it all began in 1993.  In 1993 Bill Clinton and democrats passed what is known as the Motor Voter law. [...] Obama not only is not deporting anyone any more, he is releasing illegal alien criminals to the streets of America.  Voting fraud is a federal offense but any action on such fraud would require action by the Attorney General.  We all know where that will go — absolutely nowhere.  There is no deterrent to illegals committing any voter fraud.  This administration has granted illegal aliens more rights and privileges than American citizens have, including being able to collect back tax credits without having to have paid any taxes.  Biden says illegals are "already Americans."

The Obama Administration Wants to Make Sure Non-Citizens Vote in the Upcoming Election.  Several well-funded organizations — including the League of Women Voters and the NAACP — are fighting efforts to prevent non-citizens from voting illegally in the upcoming presidential election.  And the United States Department of Justice, under the direction of Attorney General Loretta Lynch, is helping them.  On February 12, these groups filed a lawsuit in D.C. federal court seeking to reverse a recent decision by the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC).  The Commission's decision allows Kansas and other states, including Arizona and Georgia, to enforce state laws ensuring that only citizens register to vote when they use a federally designed registration form.  An initial hearing in the case is set for Monday afternoon, February 22.

New Hampshire voter-fraud probe into Sanders campaign expands after latest Project Veritas video.  The New Hampshire voter-fraud investigation into Vermont Sen. Bernard Sanders' campaign has grown with the release of a second undercover video showing out-of-state staffers saying they exploited the law in order to vote in the Democratic presidential primary.  New Hampshire Assistant Attorney General Stephen G. LaBonte said Thursday [2/18/2016] he had seen both hidden-camera videos released this month by Project Veritas Action, including the latest footage showing top staffers saying they had registered to vote using the campaign office's address in Manchester, an apparent violation of state law.

Hillary Campaign Uses Illegal Aliens To Get Out The Vote In Nevada.  Proudly reported upon by MSNBC ahead of the Nevada Caucus on Saturday, the Hillary Clinton campaign is using illegal aliens to help get out the vote.  MSNBC reporter Jacob Soboroff profiled Cheska Perez, an illegal immigrant who overstayed her visa, in a report for the cable network Thursday [2/18/2016].  Perez is now helping the Clinton campaign by going out canvassing neighborhoods.

Justice Dept. favors ban on proof of citizenship for voter registration.  The Justice Department supports blocking voter registration forms that require proof of citizenship in three states, according to court filings.  The department urged U.S. District Judge Richard Leon on Monday [2/22/2016] to issue a preliminary injunction to prevent Kansas, Alabama and Georgia from using the forms.  The injunction was requested by the League of Women Voters, which is suing the U.S. Elections Assistance Commission over the forms.

Activists Ask Judge to Block States From Requiring Proof of US Citizenship to Vote.  A group of voting rights activists is up in arms after the executive director of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) told elections officials in three states that they could require residents to provide documented proof of U.S. citizenship when using federal forms to register to vote.  On Wednesday [2/17/2016], the coalition filed a complaint in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia asking a federal judge for a temporary restraining order blocking the changes in Alabama, Georgia and Kansas.  "Voters have been using the Federal Form to register without having to comply with a documentary proof of citizenship requirement for over two decades, but the Executive Director's sudden unilateral changes to the Federal Form — implemented without public notice — ratchet up the requirements for registering to vote at the last-minute, mere weeks before primary elections and a presidential caucus in the affected states," according to the complaint.

Felon Voting in Maryland Just in Time for the Election — and Plenty of Hypocrisy.  Unfortunately for the law-abiding citizens of Maryland, on February 9 the state legislature overrode Governor Larry Hogan's veto of a bill allowing felons to register and vote the moment they are out of prison — even if they are still on parole or probation and haven't paid any required restitution to their victims or other court costs and fines.  The law will take effect in 30 days, just in time for about 44,000 felons to register and vote in the April 26 Maryland primary.  Using the usual argument of those who support allowing felons to vote as soon as they are released, Thomas V. Miller (D), the president of the Maryland Senate, said that felons are "people who have returned to society, repaid their debt to society ... [and] we want to reincorporate them into society ... We want them to be able to hold their head high, and that's what this is all about."  But is this what it is really all about, or is it just an attempt to get more voters that favor his political party to the polls?

New O'Keefe Video Shows How Easy It Is To Commit Voter Fraud In New Hampshire.  Explosive new video released by muckraking journalist James O'Keefe exposes just how easy it is for non-residents to vote in New Hampshire's primary, despite a change in the state's laws aimed at curbing voter fraud.  The video — which was shared exclusively with The Daily Caller — shows poll workers advising undercover journalists working for O'Keefe's Project Veritas Action (PVA) how to skirt the rules in order to vote as non-residents.  The damning video also shows Bernie Sanders campaign staffers encouraging undercover journalists to claim false addresses in order to vote in the primary.

Hillary Steals Obama's 2008 Playbook: Minority Support, Voter Fraud.  Eight years ago, Hillary Clinton watched as Barack Obama crushed her dreams, then used her body as a stepping stone to the presidency.  Now, she has determined that she will become Obama.  Hillary rightfully should have won the 2008 primaries — she had all the advantages on her side.  She didn't, because Barack Obama seized it from her arthritic hands thanks to three distinct phenomena:  wildly disproportionate support from the minority community, a friendly media unwilling to ask tough questions, and voter fraud.  Hillary has learned her lesson.

Voter Fraud: We See Dead People.  It's true, folks. Patriot sister Sharron "Braveheart" Angle has taken on battling voter fraud, sounding the alarm that it is running rampant in America.  What good is winning the hearts and minds of voters if we allow Democrats to steal elections?  Sharron suffered the devastation of election corruption when she almost defeated Harry Reid in 2010.  Illegals voted for Harry Reid.  There is evidence that Reid possibly stole the election from Sharron Angle using dead voters, people in prison, and illegals. [...] Remember the Black Panther Party thugs who stood outside the polls armed with clubs?  Though they were charged with voter intimidation, Obama's DOJ arrogantly and without apology outrageously dropped the charges because the perpetrators were black.

Counties Nationwide Put on Notice About Ineligible and Non-Citizen Voters.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) has put 37 counties on notice across the United States that they have an implausible number of voter registrations.  PILF has sent 37 statutory notice letters to county officials in six states. [...] The notice letters state that it appears they are violating the NVRA because they are not properly maintaining the voter rolls.  The NVRA (known as Motor Voter) requires state and local election officials to properly maintain voter rolls to ensure that only eligible voters are registered to vote.  Letters [...] were sent to election officials in Colorado, Florida, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.  Publically-available data show that the counties either have more registered voters than eligible living citizens, or a number of registrants that is implausibly high.

Group Threatens Lawsuits Against 37 Counties with Suspicious Voter Rolls.  A public interest law firm has threatened to bring lawsuits against more than 30 counties across the United States that have either more registered voters than eligible citizens, or a number of registrants that is implausibly high, the second such wave of notice letters sent by the group to various counties.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation, an election integrity group based in Indiana, sent the statutory notice letters on Jan. 19 to election officials spanning 37 counties in six different states.  The group says that by failing to purge names from the rolls, the counties are failing to comply with the National Voter Registration Act.  "Voter rolls across America contain substantial numbers of ineligible voters, resulting in the possible disenfranchisement of legally eligible voters via ballot dilution that threatens to taint the integrity of the election process," the notice letters says.

SB 450 Mandates All Registered Voters be Mailed a Ballot — Fraud to be Rampant.  Under this bill the Registrar of Voters of your county will be mandated to send a ballot to your home — even if you do not want it, do not intend to vote or died a few years ago but still on the roles [sic].  Should the bill pass[,] watch the thefts from mailboxes skyrocket[.]  Thieves working with campaigns will be able to steal ballots.

Islamic Coalition Responds To Terrorist Attacks By Calling For Massive Muslim Voter Drive.  A coalition of U.S.-based Muslim groups claiming that anti-Muslim backlash is on the rise in the wake of the terrorist attacks in Paris and San Bernardino hopes to register one million people to vote before the 2016 election as part of a "civic empowerment initiative."  Oussama Jammal, the secretary general of the U.S. Council on Muslim Organizations, also announced in a press conference held Monday [12/21/2015] at the National Press Club that the group will "seek to increase emergency preparedness for Islamic institutions and individuals to address the rising number of incidents of hate crimes that are unfortunately happening nationwide."

Officials found guilty in Obama, Clinton ballot petition fraud.  A jury in South Bend, Indiana has found that fraud put President Obama and Hillary Clinton on the presidential primary ballot in Indiana in the 2008 election.  Two Democratic political operatives were convicted Thursday night [12/17/2015] in the illegal scheme after only three hours of deliberations.  They were found guilty on all counts.

The Editor says...
Notice that it took seven years to get the case to the jury, and only three hours to deliberate the obvious.

Democrats call Ohio's purgings of voter rolls too aggressive.  Ohio House Democrats and some liberal advocacy groups want to put an end to the state's purging of people from voter-registration rolls just because they move within the state or have not voted for a few years.  But Secretary of State Jon Husted's office says Ohio is following federal law when it clears inactive voters off the rolls.  Rep. Kathleen Clyde, D-Kent, says Ohio is too aggressive in purging people from the voter rolls.  It has removed 2 million names over the past five years.  Husted's office said that total includes more than 400,000 deceased voters.

The 2016 ballot wars begin.  Voting doesn't begin for another two months but some presidential candidates have already failed their first big ballot test — actually getting on the ballot in all 50 states.  The business of getting a candidate's name on the ballot is a costly and complex endeavor, a major drain of money and manpower that threatens to weed out the most underfunded campaigns and strain the others in what remains a historically unwieldy Republican field.  Some states require thousands of signatures to qualify; others charge tens of thousands of dollars.

Seattle gives cash to voters to spend on campaign donations.  Many voters don't have the money to donate to political candidates or don't care enough to bother.  But what if the government gave them $100 to dole out as they saw fit?

North Texas woman arrested for voter fraud.  Rosa Maria Ortega 35, was booked into the Tarrant County Jail last week on a $10,000 bond and has bonded out, local records show.  Ortega, who has been identified as a legal resident of Mexico, allegedly voted in person during the November 2012 general election and the May 2014 Republican primary runoff in Dallas County "when she knew she was not a United States citizen," according to a Tarrant County grand jury indictment and other records.

Can cheap drinks get young adults to vote? One group thinks it's worth a shot.  Are young people more likely to vote if given wristbands outside polling stations that entitle them to discount drinks at nearby bars?  That's the question L. Henry Pratt will try to answer Tuesday [11/3/2015], when he hosts an Election Day bar crawl in Arlington's millennial-rich Clarendon neighborhood.

The Editor says...
Obviously, if your intent is to buy Democrat votes, you would use condoms, liquor and marijuana as inducements.  If they're giving away ammunition, MREs, and haircuts, they're probably trying to attract conservatives.  On the other hand, conservatives generally don't put their votes up for sale.

Allegations of voter fraud in Chinatown surface — again.  The San Francisco district attorney's office is investigating allegations of voter fraud in low-income housing operated by the Chinatown Community Development Center.  The Asian Pacific Democratic Club last week filed a complaint with the city's Department of Elections after hearing several accounts from elderly Chinese voters about having their ballots taken by a pair of women who support former Supervisor Aaron Peskin in his campaign to unseat Supervisor Julie Christensen.  The Asian Pacific Democratic Club has endorsed Christensen.  The elections department has turned the matter over to the district attorney.

Automatic voter registration plan draws cheers, concerns.  Illinois Senate Democrats have proposed a plan to automatically register qualified residents to vote when they apply for a driver's license or some other form of state ID unless they decline.

Report: Limitless Immigration Creating Permanent Democrat Majority.  Highlights:
  •   Over the past 18 years, the U.S. has admitted over roughly 700,000-800,000 citizens into our voting population every year, with a few years reaching 1 million.
  •   Between 1989-2013, the U.S. has admitted 25.3 million legal permanent residents.
  •   During a comparable 25-year period at the height of the Great Wave, from 1900-1924, only 16.8 million green cards were issued.  The current wave has been 66% larger than the Great Wave in terms of green cards issued.
  •   While the immigration wave of the modern era was 66% larger than the Great Wave, the "naturalization wave" underway is 329% greater.
  •   3.52 million immigrants have been naturalized in California since 1996, roughly one-fourth of the total naturalizations nationwide.
  •   According to a 2012 survey, current immigrants favor Democrats over Republicans by almost 4-1.
  •   A number of critical states have doubled or tripled their immigrant population over the past few decades, which in turn has helped Democrats create a "blue firewall" in the Electoral College.

Jerry Brown Cooks Up A Recipe For California Voter Fraud.  Just months after handing out California driver's licenses to illegals, Gov. Jerry Brown has signed a law to automatically register every driver to vote.  Supposedly, it's to raise turnout.  More likely, it's inviting fraud.  So how does opening up U.S. presidential elections to the votes of any of the citizens of El Salvador, Armenia, Mexico or China sound?  Foreigners have complained for years about wanting to vote in U.S. elections and in California.  And now they may get their wish — unless California's Gov. Jerry Brown is somehow kept from enacting AB 1461, a bill to automatically register every recipient of a California driver's license to vote.

Non-Citizens Will Now Vote in At Least One State.  Governor Jerry Brown just sold out the American vote in California.  He signed a new version of the Motor Voter Act that will register every eligible California citizen who acquires a driver's license or renews a license at the Department of Motor Vehicles to vote.  This is after he made all illegal aliens eligible for diver's licenses.  Eleven states allow illegal aliens to get driver's licenses.

Gov. Brown Approves Automatic Voter Registration at DMV for Californians.  Targeting California's recent record-low voter turnout, Gov. Jerry Brown on Saturday signed a measure that would eventually allow Californians to be automatically registered to vote when they go to the DMV to obtain or renew a driver's license.  The measure, which would also allow Californians to opt out of registering, was introduced in response to the dismal 42% turnout in the November 2014 statewide election.

California opens the door to more voter fraud with new motor voter law.  California's Governor had a busy weekend, breaking out his pen and signing nearly two dozen bills into law.  Most of them centered on the voting process in the Golden State, but while liberals are taking a victory lap there are hints that these maneuvers are going to signal trouble down the line.  The big ticket item in the legislative package was the "New Motor Voter Law."  This brainstorm will make voter registration automatic for any person receiving a new driver's license or renewing an existing one.

Ben Carson Jumps Shark: Open to Federal Control Over State Elections.  Ben Carson is a good guy.  He'd make a great secretary of Health and Human Services.  But after what he told CNN today [10/8/2015], no constitutional conservative should support him for president.  For a change Jeb Bush was right and Ben Carson was dead wrong.  Carson told CNN that he is open to reviving federal control over state elections through the Voting Rights Act.

Dem pol arrested after slapping TV reporter who asked about vote fraud.  We constantly hear from Democrats that there is no serious vote fraud in the United States, so we don't need photo ID.  Yet for some reason, it appears that when asked about specific allegations, a sensitive nerve is touched.  Consider what happened to WTVY reporter Lance Griffin when he approached Dothan, AL District 2 commissioner Amos Newsome as he was leaving a Dothan City Commission yesterday [10/6/2015].

Illegal Immigrants Could Elect Hillary.  Illegal immigrants — along with other noncitizens without the right to vote — may pick the 2016 presidential winner.  Thanks to the unique math undergirding the Electoral College, the mere presence of 11-12 million illegal immigrants and other noncitizens here legally may enable them to swing the election from Republicans to Democrats.  The right to vote is intended to be a singular privilege of citizenship. [...]

Seattle to vote on 'democracy vouchers' next month.  In November, Seattle voters will go to the polls with the opportunity to create a first-in-the-country system of publicly financed city elections. [...] If voters decide to adopt it, candidate participation would be voluntary, as mandated by the Supreme Court for all public financing programs.  Candidates would first need to reach a minimum number of donations under $100, which varies by office sought, to qualify for the program.  To be able to receive "democracy vouchers," participating candidates would have to agree to strict spending caps, a lower limit on private campaign contributions, a ban on fundraising for any independent group that would spend money on elections and to take part in at least three public debates.

Fixing elections, automatically.  If you think that the politicians who now run our government are bad, how about a system with leaders chosen by people too lazy even to register to vote?  That's the goal of leftist groups that are pushing "automatic registration" while opposing common-sense election safeguards like photo voter ID laws and citizenship requirements.  The process got going in 1993, when Bill Clinton signed his first piece of legislation, the National Voter Registration Act, better known as Motor Voter.

Hillary Campaign Workers 'Run' from Questions About Election Law Violations.  A brand new James O'Keefe video shows Hillary Clinton campaign workers retreating from questions that the campaign could have violated election laws in its voter-registration efforts.  O'Keefe recently captured Clinton campaign worker and Nevada immigration lawyer Christina Gupana appearing to condone and encourage what appear to be Clinton volunteers and staffers to ignore and knowingly violate Nevada's voter registration laws.

43 States Will Use Outdated Voting Machines in 2016.  Forty-three states will use outdated electronic voting machines when people head to the polls in 2016, potentially leaving the door open to various problems including the possibility of crashes and lost votes, according to a new study.  The Brennan Center for Justice, a nonpartisan public policy and law institute, spent 10 months putting together independent research on electronic voting machines around the country and conducted interviews with over 100 election officials and specialists in all 50 states.  According to the group, core components in voting machines that were purchased since 2000 have an expected lifespan between 10 to 20 years, with most systems having an expiration date closer to the 10-year-mark.

How an Alabama Woman Used Voter Fraud to Get Her Boyfriend Elected.  In Dothan, Ala., the verdict is in:  it was election fraud.  Last week, a jury convicted 66-year-old Olivia Reynolds on 24 felony counts of absentee ballot fraud in the contested 2013 election for the Dothan City Commission.  Reynolds worked on the re-election campaign for District 2 incumbent Amos Newsome.  During the tainted 2013 election, she forged and altered enough absentee ballots to guarantee victory for her boss and boyfriend.  The verdict will only come as a shock to those who still insist that voter fraud simply doesn't exist in the U.S.  In 2013, Newsome narrowly won reelection to his office, besting challenger Lamesa Danzey by a scant 14 votes.

Nevada Election Officials Investigating Hillary Campaign.  Top election officials in the state of Nevada are investigating the Hillary Clinton campaign official who was snared in the latest James O'Keefe video, Breitbart News has exclusively learned.  Nevada attorney Christina Gupana, who is managing voter-registration efforts for the Clinton campaign in the key state of Nevada, was the unwitting star of O'Keefe's undercover sting video this week. Gupana was caught on film apparently conspiring to violate election laws.  Now top state officials are investigating the matter.

O'Keefe Strikes Again: Undercover Video Purports to Show Hillary Campaign Violating Election Law.  An undercover video published Thursday [9/10/2015] by James O'Keefe's Project Veritas purports to show Nevada-based Hillary Clinton campaign staffers and volunteers ignoring and knowingly violating Nevada's voter registration laws.  Moreover, the video appears to show that this conduct is being condoned and encouraged by a local attorney who works for the Clinton campaign.

8 Texas counties list more voters than residents.  No law prevents localities from having more registered voters than voting-age residents, and eight Texas counties do.  Now a vote-watch group accuses the counties of violating the National Voting Rights Act by failing to purge dead, duplicate and ineligible voters.  "We are deeply concerned (that) voter rolls contain substantial numbers of ineligible voters," True the Vote founder Catherine Engelbrecht stated in a letter to the eight Texas counties.

Is Ohio the Next Home Of Hanging Chads?  Politicians and advocates are waging similar battles across the country, but the stakes may be highest [in Ohio], in perhaps the most important of swing states on the national electoral map.  With voting laws in flux and funding a for better voting technology a constant struggle nationwide, two central questions remain just 14 months before Election Day:  who will be able to vote, and will all their votes be counted accurately?

Democrat Voter Fraud: 21 States Have More Voters on the Rolls Than People Alive.  141 counties in 21 states have more voters on the voter rolls than they have citizens living there a new report finds.  Scores of counties have been put on notice about corrupted voter rolls.

Yes, Really: 141 Counties Have More Registered Voters Than People Alive.  The Public Interest Legal Foundation, of which PJ Media's J. Christian Adams is president, has done admirable work in convincing the country that voter fraud is a widespread problem and an embarrassment to the country.  We need clean voter rolls and Voter ID now, and an end to this cavalier attitude towards securing our fundamental right.

Black Skin Privilege: Justifying Voter Fraud.  Black Americans today receive preferential treatment in the realm of elections and voting rights because the Left needs them to acquire and keep political power.  To left-wingers it's 1815, not 2015. Blacks today are unquestionably full citizens unhindered by officially-sanctioned discrimination, but to the Left there are still crosses burning in front of black families' houses while residents cower in terror inside.  It's a nefarious but brilliant strategy that relies on Republican cowardice.

Obama: Voting Fraud Not a 'Real Problem,' Nobody Votes Using Somebody Else's Name.  Thursday [8/6/2015] at a ceremony to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act at the White House, President Barack Obama laughed as he said that voter fraud is not a "real problem" because "nobody wakes up and says I'm going to go vote in somebody else's name."

Counties Are Failing to Keep Voter Rolls Clean.  You've likely heard of the "Motor Voter" act passed in the early 90's, but you may not recall the specifics of the law.  Called the "National Voter Registration Act", it was touted as a means of making voter registration easier.  Congress created a standardized federal registration form and, among other things, required states to promote voter registration including, enter the nickname, when someone applies for a driver's license.  A lesser-known provision of the Act requires local election officials to maintain the voter registration lists regularly.  In short, the officials must make reasonable efforts to ensure that the voter lists are as accurate as possible.  This includes seemingly-obvious steps such as removing deceased voters as well as those who have moved away.

FEC head suggests fixing agency by firing everyone except her.  The chairwoman of the Federal Election Commission has a novel idea for reforming the turbulent agency she leads:  Fire everyone — except for her.  Ann Ravel, the Democratic head of the commission, pitched the plan during a recent conference.

5 Examples of Voter Fraud across America.  Contrary to the assertions of many, voter fraud is not a myth.  It is a stark reality that exists nationwide, from the rural counties of Georgia to the urban centers of New York.  The Heritage Foundation has documented nearly 250 cases where nefarious citizens, officials, candidates and campaign operatives conspired to commit vote fraud, compromising the integrity of our elections to achieve their ideological goals.  That list is just a tiny sampling of voter fraud, and it keeps growing.

Mummified Michigan woman who died six years ago managed to vote in 2010.  The woman whose death went unnoticed for six years somehow voted in Michigan's 2010 gubernatorial election.  Mummified remains were discovered in the Pontiac home belonging to 49-year-old Pia Farrenkopf last week, when a contractor was dispatched to the property when it went into foreclosure.  The remains found in the backseat of a jeep parked in the home's garage have not been positively identified yet, but authorities believe the body belongs to Farrenkopf.

How A Red Diaper Baby President Is Rigging Future Elections With Illegal Immigrants.  In January, 2012, the Sentinel posted an article about why illegal immigration is more than welcomed by Democrats; even the immigration of criminal illegals, and especially families is encouraged.  If drug cartels and terrorists exploit the situation, it's not a concern because the end goal is what matters.  One obvious reason is because they will one day vote and they support Democrats by a margin of 8 to 1, but it's not only that.  It is a fact that the U.S. Census Bureau counts illegal aliens because the law states the census "'is required by the U.S. Constitution to count everyone living in this country, regardless of immigration or citizenship status.'"  It's interesting that a party that strongly advocates for a "living Constitution" wants to stick with this definition despite the rampant illegal immigration and the effect it has in making illegal aliens a strong political and economic power in the United States. [...] These statistics are used to apportion our 435 congressional districts.

'Doping the vote' in South Texas triggers federal indictments.  "(The politiqueras) took voters to their weed man after voting," Logan Churchwell, a spokesman for True the Vote, told Watchdog.org.  Trafficking in petty cash and dime bags, politiqueras round up voters for South Texas candidates, nearly all Democrats.  The pay-for-ballot activity has resulted in 11 federal indictments so far.  Republicans are turning up the heat on state Democratic Party Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa, a Brownsville resident and longtime political kingmaker in the Rio Grande Valley.  "He needs to come clean with the people of Texas (about whether he) personally participated in the corrupt practice of using politiqueras to commit voter fraud," said state GOP Chairman Tom Mechler.

Obama Wants To Free More Felons, Give Them The Vote.  What timing. Since Trump and Steinle we are hearing daily reports about the crimes committed by criminals who have been released by the government.  And, of course, now there is the 'El Chapo' escape.  And yet Obama and Hillary want to release even more criminals upon the American public.

Political Momentum Builds for Ending a Scourge on Democracy.  Manipulating political boundaries every ten years clogs up court dockets, unleashes raw political forces, and breeds cynicism everywhere in the nation.  There have been 219 cases involving state legislative and congressional redistricting since 2010, and that does not include another wave of lawsuits over municipal and county redistricting.  Professor Justin Levitt, of Loyola Law School, Los Angeles, tracks court cases exposing our nation's troubled history with redistricting, which has essentially morphed to match the definition of the term "gerrymandering" as legislative districts are often drawn to please politicians, not voters.

In Rio Grande Valley, Some Campaign Workers Are Paid To Harvest Votes.  A new FBI anti-corruption task force is trying to clean up the Rio Grande Valley of Texas.  According to the Justice Department, in 2013, more public officials were convicted for corruption in South Texas than in any other region of the country.  One of the practices the task force is looking at is vote-stealing.  They're called politiqueras — a word unique to the border that means campaign worker.  It's a time-honored tradition down in the land of grapefruit orchards and Border Patrol checkpoints.  If a local candidate needs dependable votes, he or she goes to a politiquera.

DC Wants To Give Non-Citizens The Right To Vote.  District of Columbia council members voiced their support Wednesday [7/8/2015] for a new law that would allow non-citizens to vote in local elections.  "These are residents who are well on their paths to citizenship," Councilman David Grosso said.  "Unfortunately not all of our residents have a say in the politicians who are elected to represent them."  The bill would allow permanent residents in the city who are not American citizens to vote in elections for mayor, city council, the attorney general and State Board of Education members, among other things.

Supreme Court makes it easy for illegal aliens to sign up to vote.  First, Obama refused to obey the courts to put a halt to illegal immigration and now this.  This is indeed a very, very big deal.  It virtually allows anyone to vote.  You don't have to prove who you are or where you are from. [...] This means you could vote endless times.  It also means that the Marxists can bring foreigners in to rig the vote anywhere they want.

Voting-Rights Advocates Get Win at Supreme Court.  Monday's big election law news came from the Supreme Court's penultimate decision of the term upholding Arizona's congressional districts.  But before handing down its last three decisions, the court made voting-rights advocates happy by deciding not to review a different election case.  "Arizona citizens can continue to participate in voter registration drives without worrying about not having proof of citizenship documents," Shirley Sandelands of the League of Women Voters of Arizona said in a statement Monday [6/29/2015].

Supremes: citizenship not necessary for voter registration.  In a commonsense decision, the Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal of a case that decided that people registering to vote in federal election don't have to prove their citizenship.  That means that people registering to vote won't be bullied into proving citizenship, which now seems to be an irrelevant criterion for voting. [...] As for me, I find this decision quite exciting.  Why should people registering to vote have to prove anything?  Why should they have to even prove their identity?  Why can't they register their children to vote, or their dog or cat or pet rock or whatever?  Sure, you could make someone prove he's an adult, and hasn't registered elsewhere, but wouldn't that be too much hoop-jumping?

States Seeking Voter Citizenship Proof Denied by U.S. Supreme Court.  The U.S. Supreme Court refused to consider letting states require evidence of citizenship when people register to vote for federal elections, rejecting an appeal from Arizona and Kansas.  The rebuff is a victory for the Obama administration and voting- and minority-rights groups that battled the two states in court.  It leaves intact a decision by a U.S. agency that blocked the states from requiring proof of citizenship for voters in federal elections.  It's the second high court defeat on the issue for Arizona.  The state has a law that requires evidence of citizenship, but the Supreme Court ruled in 2013 that it couldn't be enforced when people use a standard registration document known as the "federal form" to register to vote for Congress and the president.

Kobach v. United States Election Assistance Commission:
Great Supreme Court News (for voter fraud and open borders).  The Supreme Court today [6/29/2015] refused to accept a case which sought to allow states to supplement a federal voter registration form so as to require proof of citizenship to vote.  Such proof is particularly important given how freely many states are handing out drivers licenses to illegal immigrants, and the Obama administration's unilateral implementation of quasi-amnesty deferrals (some of which were stopped in court). It's just not enough anymore that someone is here legally (or at least, is not being deported).

Overhaul would allow voters to cast ballots online, early.  New Jersey residents could register to vote online or be automatically enrolled when they apply for a driver's license under an election law overhaul that is intended to boost dwindling turnout.

Hack the vote: Cyber experts say ballot machines easy targets.  Voter fraud is nearly as old as elections themselves, and different states and precincts use different voting systems and machines.  But in many cases, even the electronic ballots could be manipulated remotely, according to a new report by the Commonwealth Security and Risk Management for the Virginia Information Technologies Agency.  That report found that the AVS WINVote machines Virginia has used since 2002 have such flimsy security that an amateur hacker could change votes from outside a polling location.

Clinton Gets Everything Wrong on Voting.  Hillary Clinton made so many false assertions about voting in the speech she gave at Texas Southern University that it's hard to know where to start.  Contrary to her contention, no "barriers" are being imposed on eligible Americans that prevent them from easily registering and voting in our elections.  Let's examine Clinton's claims in light of the facts.

Hillary's Millions.  Hillary Rodham Clinton jumped aboard the "voter suppression" express while in Texas on Friday [6/5/2015], claiming that "Republicans are systematically and deliberately trying to stop millions of American citizens from voting."  As proof of this outlandish charge, she cited several governors who have tightened voter rules and worked to keep voter rolls up to date.

Hillary's plans to stuff the ballot box in 2016.  Hillary Clinton has laid out her game plan for winning back the White House for herself and her husband next year.  Let's hope Republicans were paying attention.  She apparently decided it won't be enough to rely on the 66 million people who voted twice for Barack Obama, many of whom are disillusioned by the failure of "hope and change."  Obama promised an end to wars in the Middle East, a more prosperous economy for the average American and more harmonious race relations, but all three problems have only gotten worse.  Seeing as Clinton won't have the youthful exuberance that propelled Obama to his unlikely double victory, she plans to build a whole new electorate out of people who didn't vote for Obama.

Poll: 13% of Illegal Aliens ADMIT They Vote.  As we always knew, California and American elections are filled with fraud and corruption.  Thanks to a new poll, we now know that approximately 13% of illegal aliens vote.  Since they are already criminals, stealing ID's or using phony ID's.  [...] Since they can not be deported or jailed, they have nothing to lose.  Obama is protecting these law breakers.  Could this be why real citizens don't vote — the illegal aliens outvote them?  Worse, in close elections illegal aliens can make the difference.  Corruption?  Look at the ballot box.  In fact, they could have elected a President and Senator!

Hillary to Call for Expansion of Early Voting Scam Nationwide.  In whatever universe the Democrats are inhabiting, the two most difficult things to do seem to be getting an ID or reading a calendar to plan for 30 minutes at the polls.  While I don't think it helps much to immediately dismiss people on the other side of the political aisle as stupid, the Democrats keep asking us to treat them that way.  The notion that current early voting laws are "restrictive" is laughable.

Poll Shows Noncitizens Can Shape Elections.  A poll by John McLaughlin confirms again we may have a significant problem with noncitizens participating illegally in our elections.  Based on a sample survey of 800 Hispanics in 2013, McLaughlin found that of foreign-born respondents who were registered voters, 13 percent admitted they were not United States citizens. [...] In 2014, a study released by three professors at Old Dominion University and George Mason University, based on survey data from the Cooperative Congressional Election Study, estimated 6.4 percent of noncitizens voted illegally in the 2008 presidential election and 2.2 percent voted in the 2010 midterm congressional elections.

Hillary Clinton Lawyer Accuses Wisconsin of Trying to Suppress the Vote.  Hillary Rodham Clinton's top campaign lawyer has filed a second voter-access lawsuit accusing a Republican-led state of trying to suppress the vote — this time in Wisconsin, home to Scott Walker, the governor and likely Republican 2016 presidential candidate.  Marc Elias, the general counsel for the Clinton campaign and an election law expert, filed the suit in federal court on Friday [5/29/2015].

Big Impact Is Possible From New Court Case On One man, One Vote.  Hang on to your hats, New Yorkers.  That's the word in the wake of this week's decision of the United States Supreme Court to take a new look at the meaning of the constitutional mantra of "one man, one vote."  It could ignite an earthquake in American politics.  The case — known as Evenwel v. Abbott — is arising from Texas.  It's about whether voting power has to be apportioned equally by general population or by eligible voters.  The impact could extend way beyond the Lone Star State, shifting political power away from cities.

Clinton's top campaign lawyer challenges Ohio voting laws.  In a sign that Hillary Clinton's camp already is gearing up for battle in the crucial swing state of Ohio, Clinton's top campaign lawyer has launched a court challenge to Ohio voting laws, claiming that they are designed to suppress potential minority and young voters.  The laws, passed by a Republican legislature and signed by GOP Gov. John Kasich, "were designed to and will disproportionately burden specific populations, including African-Americans, Latinos and young people — each of which are, not coincidentally, core Democratic constituencies," the complaint says.

Vote Fraud: What They Aren't Telling You.  Vote fraud and electronic ballot machines have been one of my pet issues and crusades since 1993.  I find it ironic that the ones making the most noise about this are the Democrats, bona fide experts when it comes to vote fraud.  There was vote fraud in the March 1996 primary when I ran as a Republican against the nitwit incumbent, Congressman Wally Herger.  Just one of the many things that happened:  While I was legally on the ballot, in the largest county in the district, my name didn't even appear on the ballot in one of the biggest precincts!  When all was said and done, the Secretary of State, Republican Bill Jones, refused to investigate and in his short, terse letter to me said if I didn't like the outcome of the election, sue the state.  By that time, the vote had been certified and it was all over.  At that point I realized the "Grand Old Party" wasn't interested in the truth or fair elections, the party was over, I kissed the GOP good bye and have never regretted my decision.

Obama Cheapens the Legacy of Our Fallen Heroes.  They died defending our country. They died that their sons and daughters and loved ones would be safe in their country.  They died that their sons and daughters and loved ones rights and privileges as citizens would be preserved — life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  And now Obama is cheapening their sacrifice.  By administrative legislation, Obama is attempting to give the most precious right of citizenship — the right to vote — to illegals who don't [care] about the sacrifices of our fallen heroes.

Australia government attacks researchers who reveal online election flaws.  A security flaw in New South Wales' Internet voting system may have left as many as 66,000 votes vulnerable to interception and manipulation in a recent election, according to security researchers.  Despite repeated assurances from the Electoral Commission that all Internet votes are "fully encrypted and safeguarded," six days into online voting, Michigan Computer Science Professor J. Alex Halderman and University of Melbourne Research Fellow Vanessa Teague discovered a FREAK flaw that could allow an attacker to intercept votes and inject their own code to change those votes, all without leaving any trace of the manipulation.  (FREAK stands for Factoring RSA Export Keys and refers to the exploitation of a weakness in the SSL/TLS protocol that allows attackers to force browsers to use weak encryption keys.)  But instead of taking the researchers' message to heart, officials instead attacked the messengers.

Virginia decertified WinVote voting system.  The Virginia State Board of Elections decertified the AVS WinVote machine, after releasing a brief but damning report on the vulnerabilities.  Among the items they identified are:
  •   The machines use an unpatched version of Windows from 2004.
  •   The machines use the WEP protocol for WiFi encryption, which has been broken for over a decade.
  •   The machines use a hardwired WEP encryption key ("abcde").
  •   Even if configured to disable the wireless communication, the machines allow numerous services, including file services.
  •   The adminstrator password is "admin", which can't be changed through the user interface provided to the election administrator.
  •   The database is an obsolete version of Microsoft Access, with a hardwired password of "shoup" (the family that owned the company).

Decertifying the worst voting machine in the US.  If an election was held using the AVS WinVote, and it wasn't hacked, it was only because no one tried.  The vulnerabilities were so severe, and so trivial to exploit, that anyone with even a modicum of training could have succeeded.  They didn't need to be in the polling place — within a few hundred feet (e.g., in the parking lot) is easy, and within a half mile with a rudimentary antenna built using a Pringles can.  Further, there are no logs or other records that would indicate if such a thing ever happened, so if an election was hacked any time in the past, we will never know.

Obama Admin. Won't Let States Ask for Proof of Citizenship — On Voter Registration Form!  Non-citizens are voting in American elections, and the federal government refuses to do anything to stop it.  Worse, the current administration seems to be doing everything they can to prevent the states from trying to stop it.  First, they sued states that asked people to present ID before voting.  Now, the administration will not let states even ask people to establish they are citizens when they register to vote.

California Rings The Mission Bell For Voter Fraud.  A bill to automatically register all drivers is speeding through the California legislature.  In a state that already offers driver's licenses to millions of illegals, this is an invitation to massive fraud.  Advanced by Democrats, Secretary of State Alex Padilla and Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez, AB 1461 automatically registers anyone applying for a California driver's license as a voter in local, state and federal elections.  It's all in the interest of supposedly increasing voter participation.  This has the hideous look of a back-door bill to encourage illegal immigrants to vote in elections they have no right to vote in, in a country they have no loyalty to.

Bill To Register All California Drivers To Vote Advances.  Last month, Oregon Governor Kate Brown received considerable media attention when she put her signature on a new law that automatically registers every licensed driver in the Beaver State to vote.  Here in California, newly-minted Secretary of State Alex Padilla is pushing for the state legislature to follow Oregon's lead.  Padilla is supporting a bill, AB 1461, authored by Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez (D-San Diego), that would, as in Oregon, require that every person with a driver's license in California be automatically registered to vote.

New mayor of Mo. city met by police, suspended over alleged voter fraud.  The new mayor of a Missouri city had a tough first day on the job when she was met by police at City Hall and informed she had been suspended over allegations of voter fraud.  Betty McCray, the newly elected mayor of the city of Kinloch, was met in the parking lot at City Hall Thursday [4/23/2015] by police officers and the city attorney holding articles of impeachment, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.  "You can't come in as mayor," attorney James Robinson told McCray.  "You have been suspended."

Gillibrand to push for national online voter registration.  Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is introducing legislation to expand online voter registration, which would allow all eligible voters across the country to register online.  The legislation would open online registration to nearly 100 million potential registrants who currently are without it, according to an announcement from her office on Saturday [4/25/2015].

The Editor says...
It's a great idea, except that the internet is already full of hackers, scam artists, hoaxes, and identity thieves.

Steve King: Obama 'importing millions' of illegal immigrants to boost Dem vote.  Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) on Thursday [4/16/2015] said President Obama is using his executive actions to swell the ranks of Democratic voters with illegal immigrants.  "To put it simply, the president is importing millions of illegal aliens who when they arrive here he thinks, and he's right, they are undocumented Democrats, and so the next phase of this is to document these Democrats so they can vote," he said on Virginia's "John Fredericks Show" radio program, according to BuzzFeed.

The Big Security Flaw In NSW Online Voting.  If you're one of the 66,000 people from New South Wales who voted in the state election using iVote between Monday March 16 and midday on Saturday March 21, your vote could have been exposed or changed without you knowing.

La Raza Provides Illegal Aliens With Info on Where They Can Vote Illegally.  La Raza, the radical group supporting illegal immigration is providing a map that was created by the Washington Post that explains where people can vote without providing an ID.  This is an effort to circumvent US law and allow illegal  democrats  voters to vote for democrats in an effort to avoid the tsunami due to arrive on November 4th.  Let me point out that under an honest government, La Raza would be considered a co-defendant in any trial involving an illegal alien voting.  Already there are fears that illegals voting can swing close elections for the Senate.

The Largest, Best Funded Voter Fraud Operation in US History Happening Before Your Eyes.  Within the first couple of months of Obama's illegal immigration executive, at least ninety thousand Social Security cards were issued to illegal aliens. [...] Social Security cards are keys of the kingdom to illegal aliens.  With them, they are able to access a number of all sorts of benefits, including the Earned Income Tax Credit, Social Security disability payments or Social Security's supplemental income program.  The senators also want to know how much in benefits these illegals have collected.  The senators have yet to connect the dots in Obama's real scheme.

Voter fraud in Israel: Obama and his thugs must be in town.  It looks as if Obama and his party operatives really brought the whole Democrat playbook to Israel.

Obama calls for mandatory voting in U.S.  President Obama, whose party was trounced in last year's midterm election due to poor turnout among Democrats, endorsed the idea of mandatory voting Wednesday [3/18/2015].  "It would be transformative if everybody voted," Mr. Obama said during a town-hall event in Cleveland.  "That would counteract [campaign] money more than anything.  If everybody voted, then it would completely change the political map in this country."  Mr. Obama raised the subject during a discussion of curbing the influence of campaign donations in U.S. elections.  The president said he had never discussed the idea publicly before, but said Australia and some other countries have compulsory voting.

The Editor says...
Which countries enforce mandatory voting?  Lists can be found here and here.

E-voting in Australia.  On 28 March, New South Wales goes to the polls.  This is notable for two reasons:  not only is it expected to be a tight contest, with two conservative governments in two other states falling after just one term in several months, but it also sees the introduction of e-voting.

Oregon is first state to adopt automatic voter registration.  Under the legislation, every adult citizen in Oregon who has interacted with the Department of Motor Vehicles since 2013 but hasn't registered to vote will receive a ballot in the mail at least 20 days before the next statewide election.  The measure is expected to add about 300,000 new voters to the rolls.

Democrats Plan To Win Elections With Illegal Alien Votes.  The Obama Democrats have an audacious scheme for winning future elections.  They just plan to import 5 million non-citizens and credential them as voters who will, in gratitude, vote Democratic.  The way this devious formula works is stunningly simple.  Just get the new Republican Congress (under Speaker John Boehner and Sen. Mitch McConnell) to pass a full-funding bill for Homeland Security without any exception for the funding of Obama's illegal executive amnesty, which will allow Obama to give work permits, Social Security numbers and driver's licenses to 5 million illegal aliens.

Is it okay for Obama to Ignore the Constitution?  Dear Leader Barack Hussein Obama thinks it's permissible to rewrite federal statutes, like immigration laws and ObamaCare's employer mandate and signup deadlines.  Example:  Regarding laws governing U.S. immigration policy, when Obama signed the executive amnesty order barring prosecution (and subsequent deportation) of something like 4 million illegal immigrants, he said "I just took an action to change the law."  He was never concerned that his action was illegal.  He just saw 4 million Democrat voters.

Results of Kentucky election get tossed over vote-buying allegations.  A judge has voided the results of a 2014 Kentucky county election over allegations that votes were bought with driveway gravel and beer money.  Incumbent Democrat Charles "Doc" Hardin tallied a slim 28-vote win over Republican challenger John Montgomery last November in the race for Judge-Executive of Magoffin County in the eastern part of the state, 3,281 to 3,253.  But last week Circuit Judge John David Preston refused to declare Hardin the winner, ruling the election outcome was the result of fraud and bribery, the Lexington Herald-Leader reported the other day.

What Is the Florida Governor Thinking?  Florida Governor Rick Scott has opened the door to illegal aliens voting in Florida elections.  He has decided that Florida will not appeal a ruling that limited the state's ability to remove illegal aliens and non-citizens from Florida's voter rolls.  Even Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi opposes Scott's abandonment of the appeal.  But do non-citizens and illegal aliens actually vote in Florida elections?  Yes, hundreds of times, and more.

Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner's (R-WI) Bill Imposes Federal Control Over Virginia, Texas Elections.  Sensenbrenner's bill, H.R. 885, is co-sponsored by Rep. John Conyers (D-MI) and multiple members of the Congressional Black Caucus.  It revives federal control through the Voting Rights Act over every state election law change.  In 2013, the Supreme Court's Shelby County vs. Holder decision struck down this power as an outdated and unconstitutional relic from a half-century ago.  Texas would also fall under immediate federal control if Sensenbrenner's bill passes.  Other states well on their way to federal oversight include Ohio, Florida, New York, and California.  States such as Louisiana would also fall under immediate federal control.

Ellison: 'I've Often Asked Myself Why You Should Have to Register to Vote'.  Speaking at the U.S. Vote Foundation's Voting and Elections Summit earlier this month, Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) said "we need to make voting easier," and "I've often asked myself why you should have to register to vote."  In his remarks in the opening keynote address, Ellison said, "Now I also think we need to make voting easier.  It should be easier.  In other countries it's easier.  Why should voting be so difficult?  Tuesday?  Who thought that up?  I mean the fact is, is that there's wide variation in when people can vote.  You can't necessarily register to vote on Election Day.  I've often asked myself why you should have to register to vote.  Why shouldn't it be automatic."

Obama amnesty creates loophole for illegal immigrants to vote in elections.  President Obama's temporary deportation amnesty will make it easier for illegal immigrants to improperly register and vote in elections, state elections officials testified to Congress on Thursday [2/12/2015], saying that the driver's licenses and Social Security numbers they will be granted create a major voting loophole.  While stressing that it remains illegal for noncitizens to vote, secretaries of state from Ohio and Kansas said they won't have the tools to sniff out illegal immigrants who register anyway, ignoring stiff penalties to fill out the registration forms that are easily available at shopping malls, motor vehicle bureaus and in curbside registration drives.

Giving Illegals The Vote: How To Wreck A Country.  State officials are warning that President Obama's de facto amnesty easily enables illegals to cast ballots in U.S. elections — effectively canceling out the votes of American citizens.  This is how a republic is wrecked.

Immigration: Obama's executive actions could undermine elections in Ohio.  Our president is bending over backwards to divert resources from those trying to come here legally, and instead unconstitutionally giving taxpayer-funded benefits to illegal immigrants without congressional approval.  But that's just the start.  As with many of the president's actions, there are unintended consequences, and we might be on the verge of seeing one such consequence in my home state of Ohio.

NSA/FBI will want you to "vaccinate" your computer.  Be very, very careful what you wish for.  The exact same arguments for forcing parents to vaccinate their children will be used to force everyone to "vaccinate" their computers with NSA/GCHQ-approved spyware prior to being allowed to connect to the Internet.  The Chinese are nearly there already.  Once everyone's computers have been "vaccinated", it [would then be considered] "safe" to introduce Internet voting.  From then on, a simple hack can silently steal elections.

More Cities Following D.C.-Area Lead, Debating Non-Citizen Voting Rights.  More cities are trying to follow in the footsteps of D.C.-area jurisdictions to give non-citizens the right to vote in municipal elections.  Though many of these proposals have failed, the Washington Post notes that activists in Amherst, Massachusetts, Madison, Wisconsin, and Burlington, Vermont are also clamoring to give voting rights to non-citizens.

Ohio Official Warns Obama: Executive Amnesty Could Harm Election Integrity.  President Obama's recent executive amnesty has increased the risk that non-citizens could register to vote and illegally participate in elections, Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted says.  Husted raised his concerns about the integrity of Ohio's elections in the wake of the administration's executive amnesty in a recent letter to Obama and one of his senior advisors Valerie Jarrett.

Jesse Jackson: States Are 'Undermining the Right to Vote' With For-Profit Prisons.  The Rev. Jesse Jackson says the states are "undermining the right to vote" by locking up people in for-profit prisons.  Jackson joined House Democratic Reps. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) and Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) at a press conference in Washington last Thursday where they introduced a constitutional amendment that would put elections under federal control to guarantee the right to vote to every American, including those in prison.

D.C. Considers Allowing Non-Citizens to Vote.  While many critics skewer President Obama's recent amnesty-granting executive action, D.C.'s municipal lawmakers have their own plans for the next battle on the immigration-citizenship front.  Invoking considerations of fairness and justice against "anti-immigrant hysteria," D.C. council member David Grosso (I-At-Large) and several fellow councilmembers on Tuesday [1/20/2015] introduced the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2015, a bill to grant non-American citizens residing in the D.C.-area the ability to vote in municipal elections.

Selma and LBJ.  Why exactly did Dr. King have to spend his life marching for civil rights?  Why in fact did Selma — the march, not the movie — have to happen in the first place?  The Selma march took place in 1965, after the Civil Rights bill of 1964 has been passed with the help of Republicans and signed into law by President Lyndon Johnson.  What the Selma marchers were about was voting rights.  The basic, all-American right to vote.  Of course, they already had the right to vote. [...] Not a single Democrat in the U.S. House of Representatives voted for the [15th] amendment.  Only eight Democrats in the Senate signed on.

Battleground Texas Whines About Complying With Texas Election Laws.  Battleground Texas, the liberal organization founded by out-of-state Obama campaign operatives, is criticizing the requirements of Texas election laws for its volunteers who have been registering voters in an effort to turn Texas into a battleground state.  According to an AP report, Battleground Texas is unhappy about the provisions on Section 13 of the Texas Election Code, which allow a "volunteer deputy registrar" to distribute voter registration forms and collect completed registration forms in the county in which they are registered, but only if the deputy registrar first completes the training courses required by Section 13.047.

Message From The Mayor: Vote Early — And Often.  The Democrats say that there is no reason to require voters to present identification, nor is any other measure to curb voter fraud needed.  They should meet one of their own, Opelousas, La., Mayor Don Cravins Sr.  While speaking on Nov. 3, the day before the midterm elections, Cravins told a gathering, "If you 'early voted'" for Sen. Mary Landrieu, "go vote again tomorrow.  One more time's not going to hurt."

Louisiana Democrat: Look, nobody's going to prosecute you for illegally voting, so...  This stuff isn't subtle, and it's almost certainly aimed at boosting turnout among a very specific segment of the electorate.  And sadly, this tripe is not even remotely close to the worst racially-tinged fear-mongering of the cycle.

Electronic Election Fraud Apparent In Brazil; Done In America Today?  It would be a sure bet to think that a presidential candidate who bankrupted a country, brought growth to a standstill and inflation back to 6,5% would be summarily defeated in the coming elections.  That was the situation of the Marxist President of Brazil, the former terrorist Dilma Rousseff of the Workers' Party, the woman booed by 60,000 fans in the last World Cup games. [...] However, she won.  How can that be?  The leader of the Party, former president Lula, said they would do "the devil's work" in order to win.  The answer is worrisome and may be the greatest example of a perfect crime.

L.A. won't offer prizes to voters in next year's election.  A controversial proposal to offer cash prizes to Los Angeles voters is dead — at least for next year's city elections.  Los Angeles City Council President Herb Wesson said this week that he wants more time to consider the idea of using money or other gifts to lure voters to the polls.

Expert Confirms Voting Machines in Illinois and Maryland Rigged for Democrats.  Just last week, TPNN reported that voting machines in historically politically corrupt Cook County, Illinois, were automatically switching votes cast for Republicans into votes for Democrat candidates.  Cook County Board of Elections Deputy Communications Director Jim Scalzitti, told the Illinois Watchdog that, "It was a calibration error of the touch-screen on the machine."  Now, Watchdog.org is reporting similar evidence of electronic voter fraud in the State of Maryland, where Diebold voting machines are switching Republican votes to Democrat votes.

Online voting [is] rife with hazards.  Today Americans are voting in an election that could shift control of the U.S. Senate and significantly impact the direction our nation will take in the next few years.  Yet, 31 states will allow over 3 million voters to cast ballots over the Internet in this election, a practice that computer security experts in both the federal government and the private sector have warned is neither secure nor trustworthy.

Say No To Stolen Elections.  European leftists prefer American presidents who are critics of capitalism and fans of redistribution.  The same is typically true of others foreigners, according to various surveys that show a Democrat candidate could win in presidential contests where foreigners had a voice at the ballot box.  Polls like that are hypothetical, of course, because it is illegal for foreign nationals to vote in federal elections.  But a new academic study shows foreign nationals have been in a position to help Democrats steal elections.

NAACP: Tillis won because of voter law, not policies.  Republican state House Speaker Thom Tillis was elected to the U.S. Senate on Tuesday not because North Carolinians support his policies but because of changes to state voting laws that affected who cast ballots, the NAACP said Thursday [11/6/2014].  Tillis defeated Democratic U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan 49 to 47 percent, or about 48,500 votes out of almost 2.9 million votes cast statewide, according to unofficial results.

Because of Low Turnout, Sanders Filing Bill to Make Election Day a National Holiday.  When the 113th Congress returns next week for its lame-duck session, a senator with a very secure seat — and presidential aspirations — will be filing a bill to make Election Day a national holiday.  Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said a reason for the legislation, the "Democracy Day Act of 2014," is low voter turnout on Tuesday [11/4/2014].

The Editor says...
The polls are open 12 hours on election day, and if that's not enough of a window, you can vote early.  Low turnout is probably a good thing, because not everyone should vote.

Calls to election judges a 'serious attempt to disrupt' voting.  Between Friday and Monday, an unknown number of judges — the paid partisan employees tasked with operating polling stations — received the misleading robocalls, according to the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners.  "Given the level of response that we received, we suspect it was a large number of people — we don't know how large," Jim Allen, board spokesman, said Monday [11/3/2014].

Did one Texas county forget to put the Republican's name on the ballot?  Lost in the noise of Tuesday's U.S. Senate elections is a second potential landslide, with Republicans threatening to reassert their dominance over governor's mansions in a large majority of states.  The marquee matchup in Texas pits Greg Abbott, the paraplegic state Attorney General, against state Sen. Wendy Davis, a freshly minted feminist icon known for filibustering an anti-abortion bill while wearing pink sneakers.

Abbott: 'Irregularities omit my name from ballot in Bexar Co.'.  An image that appears to show Republican gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott's name missing from an electronic ballot in Bexar County has stirred up the Twitter-verse on Election Day.  Bexar County Elections Administrator Jacque Callanen explained that she thinks it has been altered but was working to confirm that.

Referendums not on paper ballots, voters say.  [Scroll down]  There also were complaints on Tuesday about malfunctioning ballot scanners in Chicago and paper ballots that were missing several key questions.  Several voters who contacted the Chicago Sun-Times said the paper ballots did not include the ballot questions and constitutional questions voters had been asked to weigh in on.

California state senator sentenced to 90 days in prison serves about an hour.  A California state senator who resigned his seat after being convicted of eight counts of perjury and voter fraud and sentenced to 90 days in prison has been freed before he even entered the jail system.  Roderick Wright was convicted in January, four years after a Los Angeles County grand jury charged him with lying about his address on his voter registration and campaign documents, and with voting fraudulently in five different elections.

Eric Holder Deploys Poll-Watchers to Look for 'Discrimination'.  Eric Holder's Department of Justice is sending teams of federal monitors to 18 states to "watch for discrimination against voters." The list of states appears completely random: Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and Wisconsin.  DOJ can't possibly have the manpower to cover more than a relative handful of precincts in those 18 states, so one wonders what the point is.

Holder Sends 'Election Monitors' to Polls.  Attorney General Eric Holder is dispatching "federal election monitors" to polls tomorrow [11/4/2014] for Election Day.  "As Americans across the country prepare to vote in tomorrow's midterm elections, Attorney General Eric Holder announced that the Department of Justice has dispatched federal monitors to polling places around the country," reads the press release from the Department of Justice.

The integrity of the ballot is in the very best of hands.  Attorney General Eric Holder is sending "poll watchers" to 16 states to make sure there's no "discrimination" against voters.  Meanwhile, the George Soros-funded group Common Cause is also sending poll watchers across the country to insure that there's plenty of work for Democratic lawyers who see GOP perfidy under every bed and behind every corner.  The integrity of the vote is in the very best of hands.

Worst Act Of Voter Fraud Is To Say There Is No Voter Fraud.  One of the biggest voter frauds may be the idea promoted by Attorney General Eric Holder and others that there is no voter fraud, that laws requiring voters to have a photo identification are just attempts to suppress black voting.  Reporter John Fund has written three books on voter fraud and a recent survey by Old Dominion University indicates that there are more than a million registered voters who are not citizens, and who therefore are not legally entitled to vote.  The most devastating account of voter fraud may be in the book "Injustice" by J. Christian Adams.

Undercover video shows North Carolina poll workers offering ballots to ineligible impostor 20 times.  North Carolina election officials repeatedly offered ballots last week to an impostor who arrived at polling places with the names and addresses of 'inactive' voters who hadn't participated in elections for many years.  No fraudulent votes were actually cast:  It was the latest undercover video sting from conservative activist James O'Keefe, whose filmmaking résumé reads like a target list of liberal causes.

Video: Machine Switches Votes from Republican to Democrat in IL.  Video has emerged from Illinois of a "calibration error" that causes voting machines to switch votes from Republican to Democrat.  The video, posted on YouTube, purportedly shows voting machines in the public library in Moline, IL registering votes as Democrat when the Republican is clearly the intended choice.

Convicted felon Patrick Cannon in trouble for voting.  Two weeks after he lost his right to vote, former Charlotte mayor and convicted felon Patrick Cannon apparently cast a ballot.  That vote violated Cannon's bond and could put him back before a judge, said Greg Forrest, chief of the U.S. Probation Office in Charlotte.  It may even mean the 47-year-old Democrat could go to prison sooner.

Say No To Stolen Elections.  European leftists prefer American presidents who are critics of capitalism and fans of redistribution.  The same is typically true of others foreigners, according to various surveys that show a Democrat candidate could win in presidential contests where foreigners had a voice at the ballot box.  Polls like that are hypothetical, of course, because it is illegal for foreign nationals to vote in federal elections.  But a new academic study shows foreign nationals have been in a position to help Democrats steal elections.

Non-Citizens Are Voting.  Could non-citizen voting be a problem in next week's elections, and perhaps even swing some very close elections?  A new study by two Old Dominion University professors, based on survey data from the Cooperative Congressional Election Study, indicated that 6.4 percent of all non-citizens voted illegally in the 2008 presidential election, and 2.2 percent in the 2010 midterms.  Given that 80 percent of non-citizens lean Democratic, they cite Al Franken's 312-vote win in the 2008 Minnesota U.S. Senate race as one likely tipped by non-citizen voting.  As a senator, Franken cast the 60th vote needed to make Obamacare law.

Voting Machines in Maryland Change Votes For Republicans to Votes For Democrats.  Last week a voting machine in Cook County, Illinois switched votes for Republicans to votes for Democrats. Election officials blamed a "calibration error" for the change. Now, the same thing is happening in Maryland and again officials are citing a "calibration error."

Eric Holder is the First Attorney General in History Who Actively Supports Vote Fraud.  As "calibration errors" switch votes in Illinois and Maryland, an election watchdog group sues the latter over massive voting by noncitizens in one county after discovering voters registered in multiple states.  The fact that many people will do anything to get out of jury duty has exposed massive fraudulent voting in Frederick County, Md., that may have been going on for years.  Illegal aliens who stated they were noncitizens on jury duty forms were found to have cast votes in elections.

Illegal Alien Voting Has Links To The Motor Voter Act.  Here in North Carolina, those who were given DACA "amnesty" by Mr. Obama receive a license which says "legal presence no lawful status".  But, the requirement to show ID at the polls doesn't start till 2016.  But, will poll workers, meaning Democrats, ignore that they aren't legally allowed to vote?  Other states do not have any terminology to distinguish lawful status.

Democrats Accused Of Posing As Republican Election Judges In Colorado.  The Colorado secretary of state is investigating allegations that some Boulder County Republican election judges are actually Democrats in disguise.  Boulder County GOP Chairwoman Ellyn Hilliard initially raised the alarm when visiting polling locations where she didn't recognize some of the GOP judges who are tasked with comparing voter signatures on mail ballots to protect against vote fraud.  She became alarmed when she noticed some ballots whose signatures clearly didn't match those on file for the voter being accepted.

La Raza Promotes Washington Post Guide On Where People Can Vote Without An ID.  The pro-amnesty Hispanic activist organization the National Council of La Raza helpfully promoted a Washington Post article explaining which states people can vote in without having to use a photo ID.

Massive Non-Citizen Voting Uncovered in Maryland.  An election integrity watchdog group is suing the state of Maryland, alleging that it has discovered massive and ongoing fraudulent voting by non-U.S. citizens in one county.  But because of the way that the non-citizens are able to cast votes in elections, the fraud is likely happening in every single county and subdivision across the state.  The group believes that the illegal voting has been happening for years.

Voter Fraud Deniers Resurface Just in Time for the Midterm Elections.  The left insists that those who do not buy into its agenda regarding global warming are "deniers" — ignoramuses who refuse to acknowledge facts thanks to a political agenda.  But when it comes to voter fraud, it is the left that lives in the realm of fantasy.  Rachel Maddow, the heavyweight over at the pseudointellectual sewage tank of MSNBC — complete with nerd glasses for everyone but Chris Matthews and Ed Schultz! — says that voter fraud doesn't exist.

Md. Board of Elections Probe Republican-To-Democratic Ballot Switch Claims.  Early voting just started last week in Maryland, but there are already accusations that some voting machines are changing Republican votes to Democrat.  Now Republicans are calling for an investigation by the State Board of Elections.

La Raza's Advocacy Little More Than A Scheme To Encourage Illegals To Vote.  The National Council of La Raza is promoting no-identification voting states to its followers.  Might that have something to do with its advocacy of illegal immigration and the Democrats' flagging electoral fortunes?

Dem state senator's husband busted while stealing GOP lawn signs.  The Democrats have become the win-by-cheating party, so much so that the President of the United States jokes about vote fraud to a party rally, just as he joked about using the IRS to punish his political opponents.  Just as a fish rots from the head down, so too does a political party that depends on the votes of ineligible aliens and that fights tooth-and-nail against the sort of voter identification measures common in other advanced (and not-so-advanced) democracies.

50 voters in Maryland complain voting machines changing GOP votes to Dems.  Coming in the wake of similar problems reported in Illinois's Cook County, the Maryland Republican Party states it has "received complaints from about 50 voters in 12 Maryland counties who say machines at early voting centers 'flipped' their Republican votes to count toward Democratic candidates."

Georgia judge rules against civil rights groups on voter registrations.  A Georgia judge has denied a push from civil rights groups to force the state's secretary of State to add 40,000 recently registered voters to the rolls, a setback for groups working to register minority voters that could have a big impact on Georgia's hotly contested races next week. [...] The suit was brought by the groups after roughly one third of the more than 100,000 mostly minority voters they'd registered hadn't appeared on the rolls, potentially disenfranchising thousands of mostly Democratic voters.  The decision could lead to chaos next week as they try to vote and are forced to do so provisionally, and may well lead to additional legal challenges after the election.

'Calibration issue' pops up on Maryland voting machines.  Voting machines that switch Republican votes to Democrats are being reported in Maryland.  "When I first selected my candidate on the electronic machine, it would not put the 'x' on the candidate I chose — a Republican — but it would put the 'x' on the Democrat candidate above it," Donna Hamilton said.  "This happened multiple times with multiple selections.  Every time my choice flipped from Republican to Democrat.  Sometimes it required four or five tries to get the 'x' to stay on my real selection," the Frederick, Md., resident said last week.

Serfin' USA.  Do you wish to spend the rest of your life supporting swarms of non-citizens streaming across our borders and voting for you to give them more of your earnings?  If not, it would be a good idea to pay more attention to wiping out America's rampant vote fraud, clearly a Democrat plan to secure a permanent majority of rent seekers. [...] Non-citizens voting in U.S. elections is not, of course, the only means of evading election laws.  The Heritage Foundation calculates of the 24 million voter registrations "nearly 1 in 8 are inaccurate, out of date or duplicates"; 2.8 million people are registered in 2 or more states and 1.8 million registered voters are dead.  Our lawless Attorney General has not enforced federal law requiring states to clean up their voter rolls.

This Evidence of Widespread Voter Fraud Was Just Released.  The study, known as the Cooperative Congressional Election Study, which compiled voting data from America's non-citizen population during election time, found out that "More than 14 percent of non-citizens in both the 2008 and 2010 samples indicated that they were registered to vote."  If that wasn't scary enough, the report continued with more frightening data, claiming that, "some of these non-citizens voted.  Our best guess... is that 6.4 percent of non-citizens voted in 2008 and 2.2 percent of non-citizens voted in 2010."

Study: Voting by Non-Citizens Tips Balance for Democrats.  "Could control of the Senate in 2014 be decided by illegal votes cast by non-citizens?"  That is the question posed by political scientists Jesse Richman and David Earnest, who answer in a forthcoming article in the journal Electoral Studies:  "Most non-citizens do not register, let alone vote.  But enough do that their participation can change the outcome of close races."  And, the researchers note, 80% of non-citizen votes go to Democrats.

Watch a Milwaukee Election Worker Get Angry at Voters.  On Tuesday [10/21/2014], the MacIver Institute reported that Wisconsin Jobs Now was using a no-parking zone outside of an early voting location in Milwaukee to park its get-out-the-vote vans between runs to and from the early voting poll.  Media Trackers was also in downtown Milwaukee on Tuesday and observed the liberal organization freely helping itself to the no-parking zone parking spots.

Study: Non-citizens are voting in federal elections — and probably tipped at least one Senate race to DemocratsMassive fraud is very unlikely.  But what about just a little bit of fraud in very close races?  And what if the fraud occurs not on the back end, with crooked electoral officials stuffing ballots with phony Democratic votes, but on the front end, with non-citizens casting votes for Democrats without even realizing that what they're doing is illegal?

Study: Illegal votes can determine elections; Voter ID not sufficient.  With the mishmash of IDs now being issued by states to illegals and to resident aliens, such as drivers licenses, and the general absence of any system to ensure that voters who register are legally allowed to vote, we have created a system where any organization can mobilize sufficient illegal votes to win closely contested elections. [...] While the parties are widely divided on how prevalent vote fraud is, the Democrats take the view that because Eric Holder hasn't investigated it doesn't exist, one would think that both parties would be in agreement that the franchise be limited to those allowed, by law, to vote.  The fact that the Democrats will not agree to that point and take any steps to ensure that is the case simply validates what we already knew.  In most of the country if Democrats are prevented from cheating they cannot win.

Study Claims Large Numbers of Non-Citizens Vote in U.S.  [Scroll down]  (Note that they keep using the term, "non-citizen," without specifying whether they mean immigrants who have entered the country illegally or immigrants who are in the process of legally becoming citizens — lawful permanent residents, a.k.a. "green card" holders, or both.  It's a crime either way, but it's easier to imagine a lawful permanent resident mistakenly thinking they have already earned the right to vote.)  If they mean 6.4 percent of 11 million illegal immigrants... we're talking about roughly 700,000 votes being cast by non-citizens in 2008.

An Avalanche of Ballots in Colorado.  Mail-in ballots once were reserved, on request, for those absent on Election Day — because of vacations, business, study, or military service — or too infirm to reach the polls.  Colorado has jumbo-sized this concept.  Coloradans now vote universally on mail-in ballots, whether they want to or not.  Democrats passed and signed the 2013 Voter Access and Modernized Elections Act with zero Republican support — just like Obamacare.  Some 3.6 million such ballots have reached active voters and even those who last voted in 2008.  That's right.  People who have avoided the polls for the last six years — whether from ignorance, boredom, disillusionment, relocation, or even death — have had ballots mailed to their last known addresses.

Jaw-Dropping Level of 'Progressive' Voter Fraud Already Everywhere You Look.  For all those — like myself — who figured Obama was only flooding us with illegals so as to later register them as lifelong Democrats, SURPRISE: it's here now, as illegal immigrants present on nation's soil for dubious reasons have been already automatically added to voter registration lists in North Carolina through Obama's 'Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals' program.  You know, same North Carolina where skeevy Team Obama conspired to sign-up 11,000+ illegally-registered voters last time round... and not coincidentally, where no voter ID law exists.

True the Vote's Lawsuit Against IRS Gets Tossed by Federal Judge.  On Thursday [10/23/2014], a federal judge in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia entered an order dismissing a lawsuit filed by True the Vote, a Houston, Texas-based non-profit organization focused on "voters' rights and election integrity" against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).  The order alleged that the IRS had improperly delayed granting their application for 501(c)(3) status and targeted them as a conservative organization.  The opinion, by Judge Reggie B. Walton, found that the IRS had taken sufficient "remedial steps to address the alleged behavior."

Tennant may have violated election laws at polling place.  The state's chief election officer may have violated state election laws when she brought a group of supporters to the Kanawha County Voters Registration Office.  On Wednesday [10/22/2014], the first day for early voting in West Virginia, Secretary of State Natalie Tennant, who is running for U.S. Senate, led a group of about 30 supporters down Court Street to cast their ballots.  She then proceeded to stump on the building's front steps for about a minute, an activity her official voting guide prohibits. [...] State election law prohibits any electioneering on the property of the county courthouse, any annex facilities or any other designated early voting locations.

Limbaugh Suggests Voter Fraud May Be Only Reason Dems Stay in Power.  Rush Limbaugh believes that Democrats aren't as popular as they might seem, so why they keep holding power struck him as confusing.  But in reaction to a report about possible voter fraud in Cook County, Limbaugh suspected that — voter fraud — must be a big reason for them continuing to win.  Limbaugh cited polls, as well as less-than-impressive book sales for Hillary Clinton and Andrew Cuomo's recent books, to say Democrats aren't as popular as the media might build them up to be.

O'Keefe Video: Voter Fraud Ground Zero in 'Ghetto Aurora'.  If you deliberately tried to design an election system to aid fraud, here's how you'd do it:  you'd put ballots in the hands of folks that you have some indication no longer live where they did long ago.  You'd make sure folks got ballots, even if many of the counties had more people on the voter rolls than people alive.  Then you'd make sure that voting is decentralized, out of the sight of election officials, so that there is no way to know who is really voting on the ballots.  Check, check and check.  Welcome to Colorado's new vote-by-mail system.

The Trouble with Early Voting.  Early and absentee voting have their place, but they are becoming the rule not the exception. [...] The notion of Election Day isn't just a tradition; it's in the Constitution.  Article II, Section 1 states that "Congress may determine the Time of choosing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their votes; which day shall be the same throughout the United States."  Congress codified this requirement in 1872 by setting a uniform presidential election date.  But in a rare bow to the notion of federalism, today's courts have nonetheless been reluctant to invalidate state laws that go against this dictate.  In 2002, a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit upheld Oregon's vote-by-mail law because of "a long history of congressional tolerance" toward absentee voting.

James O'Keefe Strikes Again.  James O'Keefe, the guerilla filmmaker who brought down the ACORN voter-registration fraudsters in 2010 and forced the resignation of NPR executives, politely disagrees.  Today, he is releasing some new undercover footage that raises disturbing questions about ballot integrity in Colorado, the site of fiercely contested races for the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House, and the governorship.  When he raised the issue of filling out some of the unused ballots that are mailed to every household in the state this month, he was told by Meredith Hicks, the director of Work for Progress, a liberal group funded by Democratic Super PACS:  "That is not even like lying or something, if someone throws out a ballot, like if you want to fill it out you should do it."

'Calibration error' changes GOP votes to Dem in Illinois county.  Early voting in Illinois got off to a rocky start Monday, as votes being cast for Republican candidates were transformed into votes for Democrats.  Republican state representative candidate Jim Moynihan went to vote Monday [10/20/2014] at the Schaumburg Public Library.  "I tried to cast a vote for myself and instead it cast the vote for my opponent," Moynihan said.  "You could imagine my surprise as the same thing happened with a number of races when I tried to vote for a Republican and the machine registered a vote for a Democrat."

Chicago-area voting machine casts Republican candidate's vote for Democratic foe.  A Republican candidate for the Illinois state legislature was shocked to learn Monday that the vote he cast for himself at a Chicago-area library was erroneously cast for his Democratic opponent.  "While early voting at the Schaumburg Public Library today, I tried to cast a vote for myself and instead it cast the vote for my opponent," Jim Moynihan said in a blog he linked to on Twitter.  "You could imagine my surprise as the same thing happened with a number of races when I tried to vote for a Republican and the machine registered a vote for a Democrat." [...] Mr. Moynihan said he brought the error to the attention of a judge, who determined the machine hadn't been calibrated correctly.

In Illinois, Vote Fraud [is] Called 'Calibration Error'.  As early voting begins in the Land of Lincoln, President Obama casts his ballot and a Republican state senator voting for himself finds that his ballot was counted for his opponent.

GOP candidate in Cook County, IL discovers voting machine casts his vote for the Democrat he is running against.  The Democrat mantra that voting fraud is rare takes another blow today with the stunning story of a GOP candidate unable to vote for himself in Cook County Illinois.

Surveillance video captures man stuffing ballot box with hundreds of ballots.  File this one under the habitual Democrat claim that vote fraud is "extremely rare."

Liberal Stuffing Hundreds of Ballots.  [Video Clip]

'Ballot harvesting' by Colorado campaign workers raises vote abuse fears.  Concerns are running high over door-to-door campaign workers asking voters for their mail-in ballots in what is known as "ballot harvesting."  Now that all-mail voting is the law of the land in Colorado, the challenge for campaigns is to persuade voters to drop off or mail in their ballots — or hand them to the foot soldiers who turn up on their doorsteps offering to do it for them.

Surveillance Video Apparently Catches Guy Doing Something at the Ballot Box That Left Republican Monitor Stunned.  An Arizona county party official said he saw a man stuffing "hundreds" of ballots into the ballot box and later told a local news outlet the entire incident was caught on surveillance video.  "A person wearing a Citizens for a Better Arizona T-shirt dropped a large box of hundreds of early ballots on the table and started stuffing the ballot box as I watched in amazement," said A.J. LaFaro, chairman of the Maricopa County Republican Party.

Board of Elections records say voter is 168 years old.  If city Board of Elections records are to believed, voter Luz Pabellon has defied the tides of time and is a walking miracle, living quietly in The Bronx at the astonishing age of 164.  Pabellon's official voter registration card puts her date of birth at Jan. 1, 1850.  "AGE: 164," the record proclaims, a number that has only been achieved in biblical stories.  That preposterous age would make Pabellon a contemporary of Abraham Lincoln.

Stop This Voter Card Madness!.  [Scroll down]  This poor clod may not have a pair of shoes on his or her feet or even a handbag, but what is crucial the left tells us is that he or she cannot lay hands on a voter ID.  So we, blessed with our voter ID cards, are expected to have compassion for him or her, and let the wretch vote anyway — possibly two or three times, possibly in polling booths throughout the city, possibly throughout the state.  It is sobering to note that the vast majority of Americans from all walks of life and from every racial and ethnic group do not swallow this left-wing hokum.

Braced for Voter Fraud in Colorado.  In 2013, a new Democratic state legislature rammed through a sweeping and highly controversial election law and convinced Democratic governor John Hickenlooper to sign it.  The law, known as House Bill 1303, makes Colorado the only state in the country to combine two radical changes in election law:  1) abolishing the traditional polling place and having every voter mailed a ballot and 2) establishing same-day registration, which allows someone to appear at a government office and register and vote on the same day without showing photo ID or any other verifiable evidence that establishes identity.  If they register online a few days before, no human being ever has to show up to register or vote.  A few keystrokes can create a voter and a "valid" ballot.  Once a ballot cast under same-day registration is mixed in with others, there is no way to separate it out if the person who voted is later found ineligible.

Alleged Ballot Fraud Ensnares Groups Tied to Dem Super PAC.  A network of union-funded groups from Little Rock to Washington, D.C., working to raise the minimum wage in Arkansas have been implicated in a lawsuit alleging that operatives in the state forged notary signatures in order to get the question on November's ballot.  The lawsuit, which has reached the Arkansas Supreme Court, is challenging the validity of a ballot question to raise the state's minimum wage.  Details in the complaint provide a window into connections between the seemingly disparate organizations.  Those organizations are ostensibly run by Arkansans, but public records suggest that they are part of a coordinated political effort with ties to a network of Washington-based Democratic groups supportive of Hillary Clinton.

As Election Day Nears, Group Aims to Help Citizens 'Vote Smart'.  Marketed as "The Voter's Self-Defense System," Vote Smart is a group of conservatives and liberals who have compiled thousands of hours of detailed research into every candidate and incumbent running for office.  Three hundred people spent two years coding its website to package the research in easily accessible ways with new features launched just in time for the midterm elections.

Voting Is Already Way Too Easy.  Most Americans don't really care about contemporary political issues or the rudimentary workings of their government.  But they sure do love voting.  And the biggest fans of "democracy" treat this orgy of vacuous lever-pulling as if it were sacred or patriotic.  It is neither.  In 2013, President Barack Obama, who's often argued that voting should be easier, issued an undemocratic Executive Order to create a commission to investigate how to expand participation in democracy.

Peter Lumaj calls for Bridgeport Registrar Santa Ayala to resign over voting fraud probe.  Peter Lumaj, Republican candidate for Connecticut Secretary of the State, called Wednesday [10/1/2014] for Bridgeport Registrar of Voters Santa Ayala to resign over the ongoing voting fraud investigation that last week led to the arrest of her daughter, state Rep. Christina Ayala.  Lumaj also called on his opponent, incumbent Secretary of the State Denise Merrill, to join him in demanding Santa Ayala's immediate resignation.

Holder Demonized State Attempts to Ensure Honest Elections.  Attorney General Eric Holder, who announced his resignation on Thursday, leaves a dismal legacy at the Justice Department, but one of his legal innovations was especially pernicious:  the demonizing of state attempts to ensure honest elections.  As a former U.S. attorney general under President Reagan, and a former Ohio secretary of state, we would like to say something that might strike some as obvious:  Those who oppose photo voter-ID laws and other election-integrity reforms are intent on making it easier to commit vote fraud.

Early voting is changing election 'day' into election 'month'.  The midterm election may be weeks away, but tens of thousands of ballots have already been cast in a reprise of an increasingly powerful political tool:  early voting.  In North Carolina, which has a pivotal U.S. Senate contest at the top of the ticket, voting began Sept. 5 when absentee ballots were mailed to voters.  As of Friday [9/26/2014] about 15,000 voters — the majority of them Democrats — had requested ballots ahead of Nov. 4.

Supreme Court rules 5-4 for Republican plan to limit early voting in Ohio.  The Supreme Court's conservatives cleared the way Monday [9/29/2014] for Ohio to restrict early voting in the state, on the eve of the day it was to start.  The court granted the state's request to stay decisions of lower courts that threw out the state's new plan, passed by the Republican-led legislature.  But the court's four liberal justices said they would have stayed out of the case and left those decisions in place.  Ohio argued that the new plan — reducing from 35 to 28 the number of days voters could cast an early ballot — could not be seen as violating the rights of minority voters.

Nunn-Linked Group Under Investigation for Voter Fraud Starts Handing Over Documents.  Georgia secretary of state Brian Kemp launched the investigation of the New Georgia Project earlier this month after receiving "numerous" complaints regarding applications submitted by the group, including forged signatures and applications.  The investigation has turned up 33 fraudulent applications thus far, ahead of the thousands of pages of documents set to be turned over.

Kansas Judges Question Why Democrat Can't Withdraw.  Several Kansas Supreme Court justices are questioning why a Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate who wants his name off the ballot should be prevented from doing so by the state's chief election officer.

NY Democrats Pushing Hard to Grant Citizen, Voting Rights to Illegal Immigrants.  Democrats in New York are pushing for — and openly hoping for — a chance to grant citizen and voting rights to illegal immigrants, making the Empire State a sanctuary state.  A bill titled the New York Is Home Act, [...] has received little attention from the media because it seems so far-fetched.  In fact, we personally had a reporter from ABC News respond to an e-mail asking if illegals were being given a path to citizen and voting rights through the municipal ID program, scoffing at the suggestion.  Admittedly, even during our report we also scoffed at the idea, saying the New York Is Home Act has "no chance of passing."  Unfortunately, that may not be true after all.

Rep. Stacey Abrams investigated for voter fraud.  An investigation is underway into claims of voter fraud involving the state's highest ranking Democratic elected official.  The Secretary of State Brian Kemp's office launched an investigation after they allegedly received complaints of possible voter fraud from election offices in nearly a dozen counties.  "Our investigators were talking to the counties and to individuals who'd had their names forged on voter registration documents," Kemp said.  "You know that's fraud."

Voter fraud probe roils Ga. Senate race.  A group helmed by a major donor and policy adviser to Democratic Senate candidate Michele Nunn is under investigation by the Georgia secretary of State for alleged voter fraud.  Secretary of State Brian Kemp (R) said in a memo, reported by WSB-TV, that his office has "received numerous complaints about voter applications submitted by the New Georgia Project," an organization launched to register and turn out voters to the polls.

State launches fraud investigation into voter registration group.  [WSB-TV] has learned Georgia's secretary of state is investigating allegations of forged voter registration applications and demanding records from a voter registration group with ties to one of the state's highest ranking Democrats.  A subpoena was sent to the New Georgia Project and its parent organization Third Sector Development on Tuesday [9/9/2014].  The organization is a project of the nonprofit organization Third Sector Development, which was founded and is led by House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams.

Democrats Counting on an Early Voting Advantage.  There are still two months until Election Day in November — but, today, ballots are already on their way to voters in North Carolina.  For voters in many key battleground states, Election Day can come far sooner than the first Tuesday in November, a fact that scrambles the calculus for candidates and has both parties investing heavily in turnout operations.  More than a third of the 2014 electorate is expected to cast ballots early this year, and they're starting to do it very soon.

Judge orders expanded Ohio early voting schedule.  A federal judge on Thursday [9/4/2014] temporarily blocked an Ohio law that scales back early voting, ordering the state's elections chief to set additional voting times just ahead of the fall election.

Why internet voting is a very dangerous idea.  It does not matter whether complicated identification schemes involving fingerprints and complex PINs are used to verify identities.  Every end of the system is vulnerable to cyber-attack; the browsers, the software, the processing, and even the commands you type into the computer to register to vote.  Man-on-the-side attacks, spoof ballots, denial-of-service attacks — there is absolutely no way to create a closed system that would filter out bad code.

Washington Post Covers Voter Fraud Inaccurately and Incompletely.  [Scroll down]  Naturally the Washington Post makes no inquiry as to why the Eric Holder Department of Justice has failed to do anything about the scourge of double registration.  It's in DOJ's job description.  DOJ isn't doing the job.  Instead, groups like the American Civil Rights Union, Judicial Watch and True the Vote have had to bring the cases Eric Holder has refused to bring to clean up voter rolls.  Those who create and manage the left-of-center election narrative ignore entirely this DOJ history, as does the Washington Post.

Fraud: Virginia County Finds 17 Repeat Voters From 2012 Election.  Virginia County officials have discovered multiple instances of voter fraud from the 2012 presidential election.  Seventeen to be exact.  The Virginia Voters Alliance and Election Integrity Maryland launched the investigation in Fairfax County, Va. and Maryland. [...] Illegal voting isn't an anomaly for Virginia.  In last year's gubernatorial race, voting irregularities and several cases of intimidation at the polls were found in 13 districts across the state after Democrat Terry McAuliffe won the election.  Some votes were found cast by people who had moved out of the district or were deceased.  Voter fraud is real.  Who knows how many more illegal votes were cast throughout Virginia's elections and the country as a whole.

Another Dumb Idea From Los Angeles.  The city of Los Angeles is considering paying voters to encourage turnout.  Needless to say, it's a ridiculous idea that will reward low-information voting, foster political demagogues and breed corruption.

Voter citizenship issue goes before federal court.  A lawsuit filed by Kansas and Arizona will be argued before a federal appeals court panel this week as the states seek to force federal election officials to impose proof-of-citizenship requirements on national voter registration forms.

14,646 duplicate voters flagged in Fairfax, Maryland.  An election-integrity group is challenging the status of nearly 15,000 voters reportedly registered in both Fairfax County and Maryland.  Virginia Voters Alliance on Wednesday [8/20/2014] urged Fairfax's electoral board to do what state officials have so far not done across the commonwealth:  Purge those duplicate voters.  VVA President Reagan George complained the state Department of Elections is classifying all duplicate registrations as "inactive voters."  That means 43,896 voters alleged to be registered in both Virginia and Maryland would stay in Virginia's statewide database — and remain eligible to vote — until 2019.

Investigations Underway, Suspected Voter Fraud In Virginia And Maryland.  Virginia Voters Alliance, an election integrity group, has called attention to the surprising amount of duplicate voter registrations in Maryland and Virginia, challenging the view that voter fraud is nonexistent, Watchdog reports.  According to the Virginia Voters Alliance (VVA), the state has decided to term these as inactive voters, meaning that they join the total of 43,896 Virginia and Maryland voters who are eligible to vote up until 2019.  As state officials have taken little action, Fairfax General Registrar Cameron Quinn has announced she intends to step in, although since there are an estimated 14,646 duplicate registrations, it's a race to the clock to remove them before the voter database freezes 60 days before a general election.

Paying people to vote proposed in Los Angeles.  Buying votes is illegal, yet the misnamed Los Angeles Ethics Commission is proposing to pay people to vote, in the form of lottery prizes.  David Zahniser of the Los Angeles Times reports:  ["]Alarmed that fewer than one-fourth of voters are showing up for municipal elections, the Los Angeles Ethics Commission voted Thursday to recommend that the City Council look at using cash prizes to lure a greater number of people to the polls.["]

Lack of Oversight Leaves Massive Openings for Voter Fraud.  Nearly 12 percent of Americans pack up and move every year.  Most of them assume that by registering to vote in their new home cities or states, their old records will be invalidated.  In many cases, they're wrong.  There is no unified system in the United States alerting election officials that former residents have moved away and plan to vote in someone else's jurisdiction.  As a result, millions of Americans are registered to vote in more than one place in any given election, leaving open the possibility of massive voter fraud that would not be halted by voter-identification laws that have swept through the country, particularly in red states, in recent years.

Signature rosters to be replaced by iPads at some polling places.  A pilot project at 25 Pima County polling places will have workers asking voters to scan their driver's licenses with an iPad.  The goal is to replace the signature roster books currently used at the polling places, Pima County Elections Director Brad Nelson said.  Poll workers will use the iPads to scan voters' driver's licenses and verify their identification.  Voters will then sign their names on the iPad screens with their finger.

An Inside Look at How Democrats Rig the Election Game.  Vote fraud has been a long-standing tradition in Democrat-controlled North Carolina.  For example, in 2012 the Democrat-controlled NC State Board of Elections (SBOE) openly, blatantly violated state election law by partnering with the Obama administration in offering illegal online voter registration.  The corrupt administration of Democratic Governor Beverly Purdue — who declined to seek a second term rather than face a certain punishing defeat by McCrory in 2012 — did nothing.  Participating in Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach's "Crosscheck" program, North Carolina's new GOP-led SBOE matched 765 voters registered in both NC and another state with the exact name, DOB and last four digits of SSN of those who voted in both states in the 2012 election.

McDaniel Affidavit: At Least 469 Extra Votes in Cochran's Home County.  In the wake of the June 24 primary runoff election in Mississippi, state Sen. Chris McDaniel's staff found the numbers in Lafayette County — home of the cabin which incumbent Sen. Thad Cochran has sometimes listed as his primary address — just didn't add up.  "We decided to check the machine tapes that were printed out of every machine at 7 p.m. when the polls closed," said Stephen Furney, a McDaniel campaign volunteer who helped in the election review process and signed an affidavit documenting what he saw in Lafayette County.

Hundreds of Unlawful Voters in One Virginia County.  As you know, President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder think attempts to ensure honest voting are racist. [...] Well, the election board in Fairfax Country, Virginia, where I live, and vote, has determined that 278 people on the voter rolls have claimed — claimed — that they are not citizens, according to Watchdog.org.  They excused themselves from jury duty in 2010 and 2011 because, they said, they're not legal.  Of the group, 117 had a history of voting.  Now think about this.  That's the number of people who were caught serendipitously by one method.  How many non-citizens who didn't get called to jury duty — or who went and served on a jury illegally — are also Fairfax voters?

McDaniel Campaign Wants Cochran Spokesman's Vote Thrown Out.  As he challenges the results of Mississippi's Republican Senate run-off, Chris McDaniel is arguing that election officials should reject the vote of Sen. Thad Cochran's press secretary. [...] Specifically, it requests that Russell's vote be invalidated because there was "no reason given for voting absentee."

Report: Va. Voter Fraud Cases Still Not Being Investigated — After 4 Years.  When Fairfax County's election board in Virginia cross-referenced voter registrations with jury pools, they discovered more than 200 people registered to vote who had also declined to serve on a jury because of their non-citizen status.  Watchdog.org's Virginia Bureau Chief Kenric Ward revealed on WMAL Radio in Washington, D.C. Thursday afternoon [7/31/2014] that after 4 years, the investigation into the alleged voter fraud has gone nowhere.

Chris McDaniel: I Beat Thad Cochran by 25,000 Votes.  Six weeks after the primary runoff election, Mississippi State Sen. Chris McDaniel is launching his formal legal challenge of the election results, saying the evidence is so conclusive that he will be calling for courts to recognize him as the true victor of the race rather than calling for a new election.  "Chris McDaniel clearly, clearly won the Republican vote in the runoff," McDaniel attorney Mitch Tyner said at a Monday [8/4/2014]press conference.

What if democracy is a fraud?  What if you were allowed to vote only because it didn't make a difference?  What if no matter how you voted the elites always got their way? [...] What if Congress isn't actually as democratic as it appears?  What if congressional elections don't square with congressional legislation because the polls aren't what counts, but what counts are the secret meetings that come after the voting?  What if the monster Joe Stalin was right when he said the most powerful person in the world is the guy who counts the votes?  What if the vote counting that really counts takes place in secret?  What if that's how we lost our republic?

McDaniel's Lawyer: We Have Enough Evidence To Launch Official Election Challenge.  We found a lot," Mitch Tyner, of Tyner Law Firm, said after he and McDaniel supporter state Sen. Michael Watson walked the press and McDaniel supporters at the press conference through how they have serious concerns with the election review process in Mississippi.  "We've heard it our entire lives in Mississippi," Tyner said.  "Votes are being bought.  Ballot boxes are being stuffed.  There are false affidavit ballots.  There are invalid affidavit ballots.  There are invalid absentee ballots — we've heard it all our lives.  I'm 51 years old and it's the first time I saw it up close and personal.  It exists.  We are committed to finding it and rooting it out and stopping it."

Retired U.S. Air Force Colonel Poll Worker: Mississippi Election Documents Thrown Away.  Phil Harding, a 30-year Air Force veteran and Chris McDaniel supporter who helped run the June 24 primary runoff election in Harrison County, Mississippi, said he witnessed key documents being discarded and that a large volume of absentee ballot envelopes and applications are missing, making them unavailable for review by McDaniel's campaign.  However, another poll worker involved, a member of a local Harrison County GOP Executive Committee and Cochran supporter Frank Bordeaux, provided a significantly different account of the episode, saying the documents weren't discarded.

Liberal Star Tribune Discovers Vote Fraud in Democrat vs Democrat Primary.  Voter fraud is so rare "you're more likely to get hit by lightning than find a case of prosecutorial voter fraud," according to Judith Browne-Dianis, co-director of the liberal Advancement Project.  Apparently lightning has struck very hard in a local primary election according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune whose only real reference to voter fraud in the past two years was to reprint a St. Louis Post-Dispatch editorial mocking the possibility of its existence as "GOP voter suppression efforts."  What has made the Star Tribune suddenly discover the (GASP!) existence of voter fraud is that it was allegedly perpetrated by one Democrat candidate against another Democrat in a primary.

True the Vote Alleges Pro-Cochran Officials Destroying Mississippi Election Evidence, Files Restraining Order.  National conservative election integrity organization True The Vote has asked a federal judge to issue a restraining order against the Mississippi Republican Party, alleging that the state GOP may be engaged in the destruction of evidence of alleged voter fraud from the June 24 GOP primary runoff.  "Defendant county commissioners have continued to violate federal law by preventing access to election records.  Now, we think we know why," True The Vote founder Catherine Engelbrecht said in a statement.  "If the affidavits we now have regarding the destruction of election documents and other similarly stunning findings are true, then no Mississippian, no American, can trust the results of this election."

Immigrant who wrongly voted wins right to stay.  A Filipino immigrant who faced deportation for nearly a decade after she registered to vote while getting a driver's license — and then went ahead and cast a ballot — has been cleared of wrongdoing by a federal appellate court.  Elizabeth Keathley, of Bloomington, Ill., will be able to stay in the U.S. under a ruling from the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and has been approved for permanent residence by a Department of Justice immigration judge.  "I feel like I am now part of the United States," said Keathley, 35.  "I am so happy it's all over."

Chris McDaniel Offers $15,000 Reward for Voter Fraud Evidence.  State Sen. Chris McDaniel has offered 15 rewards of $1,000 each to any person who can "provide evidence leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in voter fraud" in the Republican primary for Senate in Mississippi.  On Thursday [7/3/2014], his campaign announced the "challenge" in the latest episode in a circus of a Senate race.

The Trumpets Have Sounded.  The Establishment — both sides thereof — has determined that nothing shall be permitted to deny it the outcome it demands.  To that end, it will flout the election laws to the extent required, including keeping all election-related documentation secret until it's too late for the McDaniel crew to do anything about it.  Nationwide, Boards of Elections are top-heavy with Democrat partisans.  That should come as no surprise.  Remember Stalin's observation:  "It doesn't matter who votes; it only matters who counts the votes."

Elimination of NC voter preregistration program creates confusion for DMV and elections officials.  The General Assembly's decision to do away with voter preregistration in 2013 has created confusion in state driver's license offices, where 50,000 teenagers a year had been signed up in a program that automatically added their names to voter rolls when they turned 18.  Since September, when part of the sweeping elections overhaul bill took effect, state Division of Motor Vehicles officials have had difficulty figuring out at what age newly licensed drivers should be allowed to register to vote.  This issue is one of many expected to be raised next week in federal court by lawyers representing the U.S. Justice Department, the NAACP and others challenging the 2013 elections overhaul bill.

True The Vote Sues Mississippi GOP — and by Extension, the GOP Establishment — Over Vote Fraud.  The lawsuit asks the court to grant immediate access to voting records to inspect for possible illegal voting.  It asserts that "defendants failed to properly abide by federal election record maintenance and open records provisions codified in the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA).  Records made partially available to the plaintiffs indicated 'double-voting' from Democratic to Republican primaries — potentially diluting votes in violation of the Equal Protection Clause."  The complaint explains that the National Voter Registration Act supersedes Mississippi law.

Same-day voter registration coming to Illinois.  Sweeping Illinois election law changes likely to be in place this fall mean it'll be easier to register, vote while away at college and cast an early ballot.  Democrats say the relaxed rules will allow more people to exercise a basic democratic right, but Republicans are leery the moves are aimed at pumping up the Democratic vote in what has been a decidedly blue state.  The changes are part of a measure lawmakers approved this spring that Gov. Pat Quinn plans to sign into law this summer.  The biggest one will allow same-day registration for the first time, meaning Illinois voters could register to vote and cast a ballot on Election Day.

Chris McDaniel: We've Found 1,000 Examples of Ineligible Voters in One County.  On Thursday's broadcast of Fox News Channel's "Hannity," State Sen. Chris McDaniel, the Republican candidate in last Tuesday's GOP primary that fell just shy of defeating long-time incumbent Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS), reacted to the outcome.  McDaniel laid out his Republican credentials and questioned why some within his state's Republican Party had gone to such lengths to for Cochran.

Starting to Look Like Thad Cochran's Vote Tally Was Cheated.  Cochran allegedly won by a few thousand votes.  As many as 35,000 votes were Democrats who Cochran convinced to vote in the GOP primary.  Mississippi law demands that anyone who votes in a primary cannot vote in a second primary.  In other words, if you voted in the Democrat primary you cannot then also vote in the Republican primary.  But one group has found as many as 800 crossover voters in one county alone!

There May Be Enough Invalidated Votes to Overturn Cochran Victory.  Thad Cochran, the incumbent who lost to Chris McDaniel in the primary, but got enough votes to force a run-off, used some of the most despicable tactics ever seen from a so-called "Republican" in history.  Cochran, who has been in the Senate for four decades, took all of the tricks straight out of the democrat party playbook, including hiring democrat activists to round up democrat voters to vote in the GOP election.  Many of them voting illegally.  Cochran ran ads accusing the Tea Party and McDaniel of racism.  Cochran ads claimed the Tea Party would prevent blacks from voting in the election.

McDaniel Has A Legal Path To Victory, Says Consultant.  Sen. Thad Cochran's second-round primary victory may be nullified if Chris McDaniel's team can show the margin of victory was less than the number of people who wrongly voted in both Democratic and GOP primaries.  "It's tedious, but it is a simple task [to check and] Mississippi state law is very clear on this," said Bill Pascoe, a political consultant for Independent Women's Voice, which backed McDaniel.  Last July, the mayoral election for the state's fourth largest city, Hattiesburg, was nullified after the losing candidate showed that the 37-vote margin of victory was smaller than the pool of suspect absentee ballots.  Those absentee ballots included 36 that were delivered to the Democratic mayor's wife, and were later filled out by jail inmates, including a felon who was disbarred from voting.

MS Tea Party President says at least 800 Hinds Co. voters crossed over illegally.  The Mississippi Tea Party President says they've found evidence that nearly 800 voters crossed over in Tuesday's runoff election that should not have been allowed to vote Republican.  "We have some evidence that we are concerned about," explained president Laura Van Overschelde.  "We're here to ensure the integrity of the electoral process.  There's a great concern over a great many of the irregularities and enrolling of voters."

Rumors Of Impropriety Swirl About Cochran Allies' Entreaties To Democratic Voters.  Rickey Cole, the chairman of the Mississippi Democratic Party, says [Sen. Thad] Cochran's allies are paying Democratic operatives to help get out the vote with a questionable tactic.  "Pete Pery" — the chairman of the Hinds County Republican Party — "is paying James 'Scooby Doo' Warren thousands of dollars to funnel to black preachers and others to get-out-the-vote for Cochran," Cole wrote in a Facebook message sent to a top aide of state Sen. Chris McDaniel's campaign, Ric McCluskey, just after midnight Tuesday.

Political parties fight to manipulate voting times.  [W]hat's convenient to you is increasingly an opportunity for political gamesmanship to the candidates on the ballot.

Federal judge puts U.S. Rep. John Conyers back on primary ballot.  U.S. Rep. John Conyers' on-again, off-again roller coaster ride for the Aug. 5 ballot took a new twist Friday [5/23/2014] when U.S. District Judge Matthew Leitman put the 85-year-old congressman back on the ballot.  Leitman's decision, released late Friday, contradicts the Secretary of State's review of Conyers' petitions, which found earlier in the day that Conyers had less than half the required signatures of valid registered voters on the petitions he turned in to qualify for the Aug. 5 primary ballot.

Judge allows long-time Dem Rep. Conyers on primary ballot.  A federal judge put Michigan Rep. John Conyers, one of the longest-serving Democrats in Congress, on the primary ballot Friday [5/23/2014,] hours after state election officials declared him ineligible.  Earlier Friday, Conyers lost his appeal to get on the August primary ballot after state officials found problems with his nominating petitions.  But hours later, Detroit federal Judge Matthew Leitman issued an injunction ordering that Conyers' name be placed on the ballot.

Federal judge puts Rep. John Conyers back on the Democratic primary ballot.  Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson office affirmed a decision by Detroit-area election officials, agreeing that only 455 of the signatures he submitted were gathered by registered voters in his heavily Democratic district.  At least 1,000 were needed to qualify for the August 5 primary election.  But just hours later, Detroit federal Judge Matthew Leitman issued an injunction ordering election officials to put Conyers' name on the ballot while larger constitutional issues are sorted out.  Leitman was appointed in July 2013 by President Barack Obama.

The Editor says...
Not all voting fraud occurs on election day.  Mr. Conyers failed to get the required number of signatures to get his name on the ballot, and was then quite correctly excluded from the ballot, until an activist judge helped him out. If the permanent Congressman and the activist judge were both Republicans, this would be front-page news.

An opposing viewpoint:
The Conyers Fiasco.  [N]ominating petitions are a truly dumb method for determining who gets a place on the ballot.  They are very expensive, as volunteers (or often paid personnel) have to get a certain number of signatures of registered voters, obeying no end of persnickety rules about the proper form of signature, name, and address.  The rule of thumb is that you need at least twice, and preferably three times, the legally required number of signatures to be sure of having enough valid ones.  In Conyers's case he needed 1,000, so he should have had 3,000 signatures to turn in.  The reason you need so many is that your opponents, once you have turned in the petitions, will unleash their political lawyers hoping to knock you off the ballot on a technicality.  You, of course, have to hire your own lawyers to defend your petitions.  It is all an enormous waste of time, money, and energy and a lawyer's relief act.

Howard Dean: "Republicans Aren't American".  We need two functional political parties, and these days the Democrats don't get over the bar, no matter how low you set it.  Their rants are so crazy that it is hard to tell what they are talking about.  Dean says that Republicans want to "take away the right to vote."  Huh?  Can you name a single Republican who has ever argued that anyone who has a right to vote should have it taken away?  I have never heard such an argument made.  Republicans do say that ONLY those who have a right to vote should be casting ballots, and that no one should vote more than once.

Motor Voter on steroids!  What could possibly go wrong?
Democrats propose Internet voting in 2016, making Republican also consider the idea.  Democrats are thinking about using Internet balloting in 2016 to expand their voter base and select a president — prompting Republicans to consider such a strategy to keep from losing ground.  Iowa Democrats proposed the idea and several others during a recent Democratic National Committee meeting, saying Internet balloting could expand access to their unique caucus process to overseas military personnel, absentee voters and others.

Voter Fraud: An Existential Threat to America.  The National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), also known as "motor voter," promotes easy voter registration at motor vehicle, welfare and other state and local government offices.  Voters can apply in person or by mail, and, until a recent court ruling, the federal application required no proof of citizenship.  The NVRA also dictates voter roll maintenance, but it is a confusing procedure that can take over two election cycles.  States have also frequently been lackadaisical about taking advantages of the methods afforded by the law.  Some election boards actually have to be sued to clean up their voter rolls.  As a result, nationwide, voter rolls are a shambles.  According to a Pew report, approximately 24 million voter registrations nationally are either invalid or inaccurate, including about 1.8 million deceased individuals and 2.75 million multi-state duplicates.

Political Fraud About Voter Fraud.  The Obama administration has been ramping up its rhetoric about the evil of voter identification as part of the run-up to the midterm elections.  In January, Attorney General Eric Holder told MSNBC that voter fraud "simply does not exist to the extent that would warrant" voter ID laws, adding that many who favor such measures do so in order to "depress the vote."  Vice President Joe Biden claimed in February that new voter ID laws in North Carolina, Alabama and Texas were motivated by "hatred" and "zealotry."  In an April 11 speech to Al Sharpton's National Action Network, President Obama recited statistics purporting to show that voter fraud was extremely rare.  The "real voter fraud," he said, "is people who try to deny our rights by making bogus arguments about voter fraud."  These arguments themselves are bogus.

Attention Voter ID Opponents: 44,000 Additional Bogus Voters Discovered in Virginia.  A crosscheck of voter rolls in Virginia and Maryland turned up 44,000 people registered in both states, a vote-integrity group reported Wednesday [4/23/2014].  And that's just the beginning.  "The Virginia Voters Alliance is investigating how to identify voters who are registered and vote in Virginia but live in the states that surround us," Alliance President Reagan George told the State Board of Elections.  George acknowledged that the number of voters who actually cast multiple ballots is relatively small.  In the case of Maryland and Virginia, he revealed that 164 people voted in both states during the 2012 election.

Over 40,000 People Are Registered to Vote in Both Virginia and Maryland.  As midterm elections quickly approach, many are starting to think about voting and potential fraud at the polls.  And once again, we find that there is cause to be worried about voter fraud here in the U.S.  It appears in a new report that 44,000 people are registered to vote in both Virginia and Maryland.  A vote-integrity group crosschecked the voter rolls in the two states and found far too many people registered in both states.

4 Alabama counties have more active, registered voters than adult population.  Less than three months before the June primary, four Alabama counties had more voters on their rolls than what the Census Bureau says is their voting age population.  Officials give a number of reasons for that, including under-counting by the census.

Woman arrested for Nevada voter fraud.  Secretary of State Ross Miller says a woman has been arrested on two felony charges for allegedly using a false identity to register to vote and casting ballots in Nevada elections.

President Obama's Bogus Voting Rights Claims.  Last Friday, in a speech at Al Sharpton's National Action Network conference, President Obama proudly announced that the Justice Department had taken on more than 100 voting rights cases since 2009.  The problem with that claim is that, since 2009, the Justice Department has taken on only 39 voting rights cases — and as former Voting Section lawyer Christian Adams points out, only 13 were related to protecting minority voting rights.  And, with respect to some of the cases in which the department has been involved, it lost spectacularly — such as its false claim that South Carolina's voter ID law was discriminatory.

Vote Fraud is a Venerable Tradition.  Barack Obama accuses Republicans of threatening the right to vote.  Standing alongside Al Sharpton — the FBI snitch who aided Tawana Brawley's hoax and probably sparked an anti-Semitic riot, Obama spoke before Sharpton's National Action Network.  Obama allegedly said, "[t]he right to vote is threatened today in a way that it has not been since the Voting Rights Act became law nearly five decades ago."  He also declared that, "[a]cross the country, Republicans have led efforts to pass laws making it harder, not easier, to vote."  What are those rascally Republicans doing?  Efforts to require photo IDs in order to vote are probably uppermost in Obama's mind.  He might also have been thinking about moves to limit the times polls are open, cut back on early voting, especially on weekends, curtail the mailing of absentee ballots, and require proof of citizenship in order to vote.  These and other changes to American voting practices are anathema to Democrats, who claim they are efforts to suppress voting by minorities and the poor.

Voter fraud is no myth.  Opponents of voter identification legislation consistently contend that it proposes a solution to a non-problem.  President Barack Obama, during a speech at Al Sharpton's Action Network Conference in New York City on Friday, put it this way:  "Let's be clear.  The real voter fraud is people who try to deny our rights by making bogus arguments about voter fraud."  And U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder told MSNBC early this year that voter fraud "simply does not exist to the extent that would warrant these kinds of measures."  But the folks at the North Carolina State Board of Elections have offered fresh evidence that a significant amount of voter fraud does exist.

North Carolina answers Democrats' question 'What vote fraud?  It's an article of the faith of the Democrats that voter fraud is nothing to worry about because it never happens.  Kim Strach, the North Carolina director of elections, has living proof — and some dead proof — otherwise.  She has identified 35,750 persons who voted in North Carolina sharing a name, birth date and Social Security number with someone who voted in another state in 2012.  Another 81 North Carolinians voted after they died.  Ghosts have no constitutional rights, not yet, but Barack Obama and the Democrats think rigor mortis need not keep voters from practicing good citizenship.  President Obama nevertheless insists on looking the other way when voter fraud lies all about him.

Voter Fraud: The Left's Tool For Social Justice.  Why did Democrats applaud the loathsome community organizer Melowese Richardson, a freshly released, unrepentant voter fraud felon, at a recent "voting rights" rally in Ohio?  Because, like Richardson, they believe they are entitled to vote more than once against a system they see as unjust.  Some serial voters do what they do in order to exact revenge against a society they feel did them or their ancestors wrong.  Richardson is far from alone.  Double-voting is distressingly common.  Many leftists have contempt for the electoral process because they don't believe in the electoral system as it is constituted in capitalist America.

Massive Voter Fraud Tainted '12 Election.  Allegations of voter fraud fly back and forth in modern American politics, each based on episodic personal observations or on anomalous electoral outcomes.  But now for the very first time, comes concrete proof of massive voter fraud in the 2012 election, sufficiently widespread to have tainted over one million votes nationwide.  So far the data does not indicate which side committed the fraud or even whether it was orchestrated at all, but the fact of the fraud is now undeniable.  North Carolina, under the leadership of their Election Board chairman Kim Strach, studied the rolls of those who voted there and compared them with data from 27 other states.  The conclusion: 35,750 people voted in North Carolina and also voted in at least one other state in the 2012 election.

Obama Lies about Voter Fraud and DOJ Investigations Before Paranoid Audience.  A tragic phenomenon has affected President Obama since he became President.  The more radical his audience, the more outrageous his lies.  At his appearance before Al Sharpton's National Action Network, Obama called voter fraud claims "bogus" and said his Justice Department has "taken on more than 100 voting rights cases since 2009."  This is a bald faced lie.  One need merely click [a] link at the Justice Department's own website to see it is a lie.  The truth is that 39 cases have been brought, not 100, and only 13 relate to protecting minority voting rights — usually foreign language ballot issues.

A Criminal Organization Masquerading As...  In Congress, Rep. Darrell Issa of California has just leveled an explosive charge against his Democrat counterpart on the House Oversight and Government Reform committee — to wit, that the gentleman from Maryland colluded with the IRS to harass a conservative organization fighting for honest elections.

Dems' Voter-Fraud Denial.  Kim Strach, the new director of North Carolina's Board of Elections [...] just searched a database that comprises about half the registered voters in the U.S. and found 35,750 voters in her state whose first and last names and full date of birth match with someone in another state who also voted in the 2012 election.  A smaller number (765) had exact matches on Social Security numbers, but that total is artificially low because only some states provide that number for any or all of their voters.  Remember:  In 2008, Barack Obama only carried North Carolina by 14,177 votes out of 2.3 million cast.

Massive Voter Fraud Discovered in North Carolina's 2012 Election.  The North Carolina State Board of Elections has found thousands of instances of voter fraud in the state, thanks to a 28-state crosscheck of voter rolls.  Initial findings suggest widespread election fraud.
  •   765 voters with an exact match of first and last name, DOB and last four digits of SSN were registered in N.C. and another state and voted in N.C. and the other state in the 2012 general election.
  •   35,750 voters with the same first and last name and DOB were registered in N.C. and another state and voted in both states in the 2012 general election.
  •   155,692 voters with the same first and last name, DOB and last four digits of SSN were registered in N.C. and another state — and the latest date of registration or voter activity did not take place within N.C.
The second point is key, as double voting is election fraud under state and federal statutes.  Punishment for double voting in federal elections can include jail time.

Hundreds of cases of potential voter fraud uncovered in North Carolina.  State elections officials in North Carolina are investigating hundreds of cases of potential voter fraud after identifying thousands of registered voters with personal information matching those of voters who voted in other states in 2012.  Elections Director Kim Strach told state lawmakers at an oversight hearing Wednesday that her staff has identified 765 registered North Carolina voters who appear to have cast ballots in two states during the 2012 presidential election.  Strach said the first names, last names, birthdates and last four digits of their Social Security numbers appear to match information for voters in another state.  Each case will now be investigated to determine whether voter fraud occurred.

Report points to possible voter fraud in NC.  State election officials are looking into thousands of cases where registered voters may have voted in two states or after their reported death.  A report presented Wednesday by Elections Director Kim Strach to the Joint Legislative Elections Oversight Committee said 81 voters have a voter history later than the date of their death.  The audit further identified 13,416 deceased voters on voter rolls in Oct. 13.  The information was found after DHHS provided more than 50,000 new death records to the State Board of Elections.

Audit Finds Evidence of Widespread Voter Fraud in North Carolina.  According to this audit by the North Carolina Elections Oversight Committee, at least 81 dead people have been voting from the grave, and more than 35,000 people with matching full names and dates of birth voted in both North Carolina and another state in the 2012 general election.  To put that number in context, Barack Obama carried North Carolina by fewer than 15,000 votes in 2008.  Double voting, needless to say, is a crime.  Furthermore, state officials were only able to cross check their rolls and voter activity records with 28 other states, leaving loads of potential data missing.

Local couple upset after receiving pre-marked voter registration card from Covered California.  A local couple called 10News concerned after they received an envelope from the state's Obamacare website, Covered California.  Inside was a letter discussing voter registration and a registration card pre-marked with an "x" in the box next to Democratic Party.  The couple — who did not want their identity revealed — received the letter and voter registration card from their health insurance provider Covered California, the state-run agency that implements President Obama's Affordable Care Act.

Voter registration papers have Democratic Party pre-selected.  Under California law, residents signing up for government services like welfare or other public assistance must also be sent a voter registration card.  But a couple of lifelong Republicans were shocked this week when the state's Obamacare registrar sent theirs with 'Democratic Party' already checked off.  Following a lawsuit from a voting-rights group, Covered California began sending out more than 4 million voter registration forms last week.  But they're supposed to be completely blank.

Vote fraud as 'payback time'.  Melowese Richardson is the poster girl for vote fraud.  The Ohio poll worker was sentenced last July to five years in prison after being convicted of voting twice in the 2012 election and voting three times — in 2008, 2011 and 2012 — in the name of her sister, in a coma since 2003, according to USA Today.  This might be below Chicago graveyard standards, but it's still impressive.  Ms. Richardson has become a heroine to the left, which is working with its legal arm — the U.S. Justice Department — to kill voter photo-ID laws in order to ensure that creative voting continues.

Wisconsin governor signs bill ending early weekend voting.  Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker on Thursday signed a measure into law that eliminates absentee voting on weekends ahead of elections but vetoed a provision that restricted weekday voting hours across the state.

Melowese Richardson and Eric Holder's selective enforcement of the law.  The incident is just the latest in a long line of decisions made by the AG that strongly suggest he follows a double standard, subscribing to one set of laws for "his people," another for the rest of us.

6,100 dead people on Nassau voter rolls, Newsday analysis finds.  Evelyn E. Burwell's family was surprised to learn she voted in the 2012 general and primary elections.  They knew she was an avid voter, but she's been dead since 1997.  Burwell is one of about 6,100 deceased people still registered to vote in Nassau County, a Newsday computer analysis shows.  The former Wantagh resident, who died at age 74, is also among roughly 270 people that records show voted in Nassau County after dying, a group that includes a man who voted 14 times since his death.

No Justice Department Charges Against Ohio Woman Who Voted Six Times for Obama.  Last week Al Sharpton embraced convicted vote fraudster Melowese Richardson at a "voting rights" rally in Cincinnati.  The United States Department of Justice under Eric Holder has done nothing to Melowese Richardson 410 days after she admitted on camera that she committed multiple federal felonies by voting six times for President Obama's reelection.  Federal law makes it a felony to vote more than once for President.  In fact, 42 U.S.C. Section 1973i(e) subjects Richardson to twenty-five years in federal prison for her six votes for Obama.

Six-time Obama voter's group received Obama administration grant.  The woman who admitted to voting for President Barack Obama six times worked for and sat on the board of a group that received an Obama administration Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) grant.  Melowese Richardson admitted in 2013 to voting six times for Obama's re-election while working as a poll worker in Hamilton County, Ohio.  Initially convicted on state voter fraud charges and sentenced to five years in prison, Richardson served eight months before the George Soros-funded Ohio Justice and Policy Center helped lessen her sentence to probation.  Richardson appeared last week at a rally with some Ohio Democrats and Al Sharpton, who publicly gave her a hug.

Kansas, Arizona prevail in voter citizenship suit.  A judge in Wichita has ordered a federal commission to enforce Kansas and Arizona laws requiring documents such as a birth certificate proving citizenship for new voters.  U.S. District Judge Eric Melgren ordered the Election Assistance Commission to immediately add Kansas- and Arizona-specific instructions to the federal voter registration form.  Those instructions will say that new registrants will have to provide documents proving citizenship before they are allowed to vote, as required by state law.

Voting Rights and Proof of Citizenship.  Liberals are expressing outrage today [3/20/2014] about the court ruling that a federal agency is required to help Kansas and Arizona ensure that those registering to vote are citizens.  The case decided in a U.S. district court in Wichita revolved around the U.S. Election Assistance Commission's decision to deny the requests from the two states that proof of citizenship be added to a national voter registration form when distributed in Kansas and Arizona.  Judge Eric F. Melgren rightly ruled that the agency had no authority to tell the states their requests were invalid.  He noted that the decision by the election commission to deny the states' requests was "unlawful and in excess of its statutory authority."  This is a phrase that could well be applied to a great many other Obama administration decisions and executive orders.

Federal Judge Hands Republicans In Kansas, Arizona A Big Win In Voting Rights Fight.  A federal judge in Kansas on Wednesday [3/19/2014] ruled that the federal agency which oversees the federal voter registration form must include the state-specific proof-of-citizenship requirements requested by both Kansas and Arizona.  The ruling was hailed by Republican officials in both states.  And it also does away with the need for the "two-tier" voting systems that were proposed while the case was pending.

Primary day: Officials seek to keep 5 polling places open late.  Five polling places were allowed to stay open late because of early morning delays that may have turned some voters away.  In suburban and Cook County, two polling places were allowed to stay open past 7 p.m. to accommodate two voters who were turned away because of late openings, said Courtney Greve, spokeswoman for County Clerk David Orr.  "That's right, two people — one voter in each precinct," she said.

Florida TV station documents ineligible voters as DoJ sues to prevent state from purging rolls.  WBBH TV in Ft. Myers, Florida has performed a public service with its investigative reporting documenting non-US citizens voting regularly in local elections.

Poll worker sentenced to 5 years for voter fraud serves only 8 months.  A Hamilton County judge released a former poll worker sentenced to five years in prison for voter fraud after eight months on Tuesday.  On July 7, Melowese Richardson, 58, pleaded to four counts of illegal voting in 2009, 2011 and 2012 in the courtroom of Hamilton County Judge Robert P. Ruelman.  One count charged her with voting for her sister, who is in a coma.  Four other counts were dropped in exchange for Richardson's plea.

Youth vote gets younger: Law lets most 17-year-olds cast ballot.  Advocates say the change allows youth to develop voting habits early, a key to ensuring they turn into lifelong voters.  Critics have questioned whether teens are engaged enough to cast meaningful votes.  While it remains to be seen how many 17-year-olds turn out to vote on March 18, more than 9,000 of them have registered to do so in the city and suburbs, helped in many cases by clerk's offices partnering with school districts to host registration drives.

Battleground Texas Ends 'Questionable' Voter Registration Practice.  Last week, James O'Keefe's Project Veritas released video showing Battleground Texas operative Jennifer Langoria admitting that the group uses its voter registration activities to conduct data-mining operations.  It collects people's personal information off of the voter registration forms it gets them to fill out, which is against state law governing the behavior of voter registrars in the state.  For a week, Democrat Wendy Davis has remained silent on the matter.  The media in Texas have either clouded the issue or not asked her about it.  Battleground Texas has defended the practice as legal.  But today, at the tail end of a Reuters infomercial on BGTX, the group admits that it has quietly scuttled the tactic.

Iowa voter fraud investigation concludes; 80 additional cases referred to prosecutors.  A controversial investigation into alleged voter fraud has concluded, the investigator leading the effort said Monday [2/24/2014].  Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation Special Agent Adam DeCamp said Monday [2/24/2014] that the probe aimed at identifying and prosecuting fraudulent Iowa voters ended Feb. 13, roughly 20 months after it began.  Since September, when DeCamp took over as the lead investigator, the effort has scrutinized 245 individual voters.  Of those, more than 80 have been referred to county attorneys for possible prosecution.

Battleground Texas, the Texas Media, and Wendy's Choice.  James O'Keefe and his Project Veritas captured Battleground Texas organizer Jennifer Langoria admitting that the group uses its voter registration drives as data-mining operations for their political operations.  Whatever one thinks of Project Veritas, it did not put words into Battleground Texas' mouth.  "So every time we register someone to vote we keep their name and number," Langoria says.  According to Texas election law, it is unlawful to transcribe, copy, or otherwise record a telephone number furnished on a voter registration application.  Battleground Texas has, therefore, been caught in what appears to be election fraud.

Texas Tribune Duped by Dem Operative on Battleground Texas Scandal.  Follow-up to Breitbart News' major national story on Battleground Texas, an ACORN-like organization supporting Democrat Wendy Davis for governor, whose operatives appear to violate Texas law by registering voters on behalf of the state, but then illegally copying voters' telephone numbers into their private database for partisan use later.  Now Democrats are responding with a defense so lame that it seems more likely than ever that in fact crimes are being committing by these Democratic operatives.

Dewhurst: Investigate Battleground Texas Immediately.  Texas Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst issued a letter to Secretary of State Nandita Berry today [2/21/2014] urging her office to immediately turn over all complaints of Battleground Texas' violations of election law to Attorney General Greg Abbott.  The scandal was revealed after Breitbart Texas released the latest James O'Keefe undercover video on what appeared to be a Battleground Texas illegal voter data-mining operation to help elect Wendy Davis.

Exclusive: O'Keefe Busts Illegal Voter Scheme to 'Turn Texas Blue'.  In an apparent violation of state law, Battleground Texas officials are exploiting legally protected information to turn voters out to the polls as part of the Democratic party's quest to paint the Lone Star State blue, a new undercover video from James O'Keefe reveals.  The footage shows Battleground Texas volunteer Jennifer Longoria saying the group uses the phone numbers from voter registration forms in later efforts to boost turnout on election day.  Texas Election Code prohibits the use of, or even the copying of, phone numbers provided by individuals registering to vote.

DNC's Donna Brazile: Reform Immigration So Illegals Can Vote.  During the February 2 airing of This Week With George Stephanopoulos, Democratic National Committee vice chairwoman Donna Brazile stressed that Obama cannot stop short of full citizenship on immigration reform because citizenship will allow current illegals to vote.

California Sen. Rod Wright convicted of perjury, voter fraud.  A Los Angeles jury on Tuesday convicted state Sen. Roderick D. Wright on all eight counts in his perjury and voter fraud trial.  The Inglewood Democrat was indicted by a Los Angeles County grand jury in September 2010. [...] In a trial that began Jan. 8, prosecutors accused Wright of faking a move to a rental property he owned in Inglewood so he could run in what was then the 25th Senate District.  They accused him of lying on voter registration and candidacy documents and of casting ballots in five elections he was not entitled to vote in from the Inglewood address.

Presidential commission offers ways to shorten voting lines.  A nonpartisan panel of election and management experts is recommending that states embrace technology, more flexibility in the voting process and better resources for voters in order to improve the speed and ease of casting a ballot in the U.S.

Waiting More Than 30 Minutes to Vote Is Unacceptable, Obama's Elections Commission Concludes.  "No citizen should have to wait more than 30 minutes to vote."  That's one of the dozens of recommendations and "best practices" issued Wednesday by the President Obama's Commission on Election Administration.  "Our mission in this report was to improve the voter experience," commission co-chair Benjamin Ginsburg told MSNBC on Wednesday night [1/22/2014].

Federal ruling forbids states from checking voters' citizenship.  A federal commission rejected three states requests to ask voters for proof of citizenship, issuing a complex decision Friday [1/17/2014] that said it's up to the national government, not the states, to decide what to include on registration forms.  Under the motor-voter law, federal officials distribute voter-registration forms in all of the states.  Arizona, Kansas and Georgia all asked that those forms request proof of citizenship, but the federal Election Assistance Commission rejected that in a 46-page ruling.  The EAC said states can check driver's license databases or ask federal immigration authorities for information, but they cannot tell the federal government what to include on federal forms.

Republican leaders push bill to update Voting Rights Act.  Key lawmakers announced a rewrite of the Voting Rights Act on Thursday [1/16/2014], creating a test to judge which states are still so discriminatory that they need federal scrutiny of their voting decisions — moving to revive the iconic law just months after the Supreme Court declared part of it unconstitutional.  In their June decision, the justices said Congress couldn't use discrimination from four decades ago to single out states for special federal scrutiny, so the proposal would update the test to look at recent federal court rulings that found a state or municipality violated voting laws.

Voter Fraud: We've Got Proof It's Easy.  Liberals who oppose efforts to prevent voter fraud claim that there is no fraud — or at least not any that involves voting in person at the polls.  But New York City's watchdog Department of Investigations has just provided the latest evidence of how easy it is to commit voter fraud that is almost undetectable.  DOI undercover agents showed up at 63 polling places last fall and pretended to be voters who should have been turned away by election officials; the agents assumed the names of individuals who had died or moved out of town, or who were sitting in jail.  In 61 instances, or 97 percent of the time, the testers were allowed to vote.

Texas Vote-Buying Case Casts Glare on Tradition of Election Day Goads.  In [Donna, Texas, a] Rio Grande Valley town of trailer parks and weedy lots eight miles from the Mexico border, people call them runners or politiqueras — the campaign workers who use their network of relatives and friends to deliver votes for their candidates.  They travel around town with binders stuffed with the names and addresses of registered voters, driving residents to and from the polls and urging those they bump into at the grocery store to support their candidates.

A recipe for fraud:
University developing technology to vote on your tablet, smartphone.  A Clemson University professor is developing a new electronic voting system that will allow voters to cast their ballots from home computers, tablets and smartphones.

The Editor says...
For hundreds of years, we have upheld a tradition in this country:  If you're unable (or too lazy) to appear in person at the polling place, you can't vote.  Voting by mail is a bad idea, but at least there is some chance of validation before the day of the election.  Voting by way of the internet, which is the root of this latest scheme from Clemson University, opens the door to massive automated voter fraud.  Anyone with access to the voter registration list would be able to vote on behalf of everyone in the county, and if the perpetrators are really clever, nobody will ever know which laptop computer the votes came from.  At least when someone arrives in person to vote for the 12th time, there is a good chance that an election judge will recognize that person and intervene.

Report: New York Investigators Obtain Fraudulent Ballots 97 Percent of Time.  New York City's Department of Investigation (DOI) has just shown how easy it is to commit voter fraud that is almost undetectable.  Its undercover agents were able to obtain ballots for city elections a total of 61 times — 39 times using the names of dead people, 14 times using the names of incarcerated felons, and eight times using the names of non-residents.  On only two occasions, or about 3 percent of the time, were the agents stopped by polling-place officials.  In one of the two cases, an investigator was stopped only because the felon he was trying to vote in the name of was the son of the election official he was dealing with.

This Factual Evidence of Voter Fraud in Ohio Should Change Democrats' Minds About Voter ID.  I am struggling to come up with a good way to defend Democrats' behavior on the Voter ID debate when there were 257,000 dead people still listed as active voters and and at least 17 factual cases of voter fraud in Ohio.  It is painfully obvious that the system needs a makeover if it is that awful at staying up to date with who is and isn't alive.

Obama: 'You Can't Say You Take Pride in American Democracy' and Be in Favor of Voter ID Laws.  Yes, several states are mounting efforts to hinder the ability of certain people to vote; these "certain" people are ineligible voters.  Call it "extreme," but openly facilitating voter fraud to alter elections is hardly an affirmation of democracy, but a detriment to our election process.  On a side note, perhaps we could take President Obama more seriously when he speaks about voter fraud or voter intimidation if his Justice Department had not dropped the case against Black Panthers who intimidated voters in Philadelphia in 2008.

Non-citizens caught voting in 2012 presidential election in key swing state.  Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted announced Wednesday that his office found 17 non-citizens illegally cast ballots in the 2012 presidential election — and has referred the case for possible prosecution.  The alleged crime would be a notable case of voter fraud in a key swing state.  By law, only American citizens are allowed the privilege of casting ballots for the nation's leaders.  Ohio officials say that did not stop some from getting around the system.

The art of stealing elections.  Stealing elections is an old game politicians play.  Lyndon B. Johnson, the 36th president, got to the U.S. Senate in 1948 by "winning" the closest race in Texas history by a margin of 87 votes out of more than a million cast.  An election judge in tiny Alice, Texas, said he counted more than 200 names on the voting roll for Box 13 that were written in alphabetic succession in the same hand, same color of ink.  When a federal court subpoenaed Box 13, it was discovered to be "lost."  LBJ took his seat in the Senate.

Obamacare Creates 50 New State Databases [for] Gathering Potential Voter Information.  Since the passage of Obamacare, all fifty state Medicaid agencies have been forced to create a new standalone database that contains nothing besides the contact information of Medicaid applicants who used Healthcare.gov.  Some of these new databases mail out voter registration forms automatically.  You cannot refuse them.  No worthwhile verification occurs before the forms are mailed.  Apply for Medicaid and the form will be mailed to you, [...]

Massachusetts man indicted for voting in Manchester during 2012 Presidential Election.  A Massachusetts man has been indicted for voting in Manchester during the 2012 Presidential election.  Late Friday afternoon Attorney General Joseph A.

Maryland Will Return To Paper Ballots In 2016.  The search is on for new machines to replace Maryland's touch screen voting system.

Premeditated, Manufactured Chaos.  [Scroll down]  There is such a strategy; Obama has known about it for decades and is using it now.  It was developed in the 1960s by Columbia University professors Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, who published an article in Nation magazine titled "The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty." [...] Cloward and Piven were the authors of Motor Voter, which turns motor vehicle and other state offices into de facto low income voter registration drives.  This law allowed the nationwide explosion of voter registration fraud conducted by ACORN, and is largely responsible for today's 24 million bad registrations nationwide.  Motor Voter also made Obamacare's online voter registration possible.  Obama has connections to Cloward and Piven, ACORN and its voter registration arm, Project Vote, going back to the early 1990s.

Polling Machine Problems Happening in Swing County in Virginia.  Problems appear to already be happening on election day in Virginia.  Two callers from Loudoun County called into WMAL's Mornings on the Mall radio show and told hosts Larry O'Connor and Brian Wilson that the electronic validation system across the county was down when they showed up to go vote.

OJ Simpson, convicted felon, remains on the Miami-Dade voting rolls.  Here's why OJ Simpson wasn't purged from Florida's voter rolls:  "Mr. Simpson's name was not removed from the voter rolls because he was convicted in Nevada so his name was never sent to the Department of State for removal," elections spokeswoman Brittany Lesser said in an email.  "We are working to improve how the voter rolls are updated in order to maintain the integrity of elections statewide."

Obamacare Websites Encourage Voter Registration After Application Completion.  The Obamacare exchange website does more than merely register you for an insurance program.  According to a report from the MacIver Institute, once you complete the process, you are then immediately asked to register to vote — a propagandistic strategy designed to make government beneficiaries into lifetime Democratic voters.

Virginia Democrats fight purge of voter rolls ordered weeks before election.  Election officials across Virginia are grappling with how to follow through with a directive from the State Board of Elections to purge up to 57,000 registered voters from the state rolls — a move that has prompted a lawsuit from the Democratic Party of Virginia and outright defiance by at least one registrar.  The state, working this year for the first time as part of a multistate program intended to validate voters, says it is required by law to conduct maintenance on voter lists and is not canceling voters but directing local registrars to review registrants carefully.  The program provides information to election boards about voters who are registered in more than one state.

Bring out your dead.  Election officials have compiled a list of 57,000 names of Virginians thought to have moved and put down roots elsewhere in the country.  Election officials want to cross-check the names of nonresidents against the voter-registration lists and cross off the names of everyone who shouldn't be voting in Virginia.  Terry McAuliffe is obviously polling well among the dearly departed because his party tells the court that "the need for relief is urgent."  The lawsuit argues that "the [State Board of Elections] is rushing to complete the purging in time to have the desired effect on the upcoming election."

Civil rights groups claim N.J. violating 'motor voter act,' threaten to sue.  Lawyers for the NAACP and a coalition of other civil rights groups claim New Jersey has been violating the National Voting Rights Act and say they will sue if changes are not made.  The 1993 act, also known as the "motor voter" law, requires social service agencies across the country to give clients the chance to register to vote when filling out paperwork for services.  In a letter to Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno, the top election official in the state, the groups say the state Department of Human Services is failing to consistently provide voter registration services to those seeking public assistance.

Obama Administration Quietly Caves on True the Vote Case.  Is this related to the retirement of Lois Lerner?  I don't know, but it seems that the Obama administration has decided to cut its losses on the IRS.  The Department of Justice told a federal court on Friday [9/20/2013] that it is conceding in the lawsuit brought by True the Vote, Inc., and will grant True the Vote 501(c)(3) status.

For Those Who Don't Believe in Election Fraud.  "Yes, the Rizzo-Royster race turned on vote fraud," admitted the Kansas City Star's Barbara Shelly in a crow-eating column nearly three years after it would do any good.  For years the Star has routinely mocked anyone who dared suggest vote fraud was a problem.  Among those mocked was Will Royster, a retired Navy fighter pilot who seemingly lost in a northeast Kansas City Democratic primary for state representative in 2010 by the final count of one single vote.  The seeming victor, endorsed by the Star, was neophyte J.J. Rizzo, the son of Democratic machine honcho, Henry Rizzo.

NYT Discovers Voter Fraud.  After years of claiming that it doesn't exist, the New York Times has found evidence of voter fraud:  a political machine organizing unqualified voters to swing an election in Alabama.

The Democrats' Silly, Dishonest Excuse of 'Voter Suppression' in Colorado.  The term "voter suppression" implies someone making an effort to prevent people from voting, which is not what happened here, where the elections were amply covered in local, state, and national media and all of the usual polling places were open for all of the usual hours, with no intimidation or other obstacles.  The core of the Democrats' argument is that because voting by mail was limited, some sort of nefarious authorities have prevented Coloradans from casting votes.

Liberals in Retreat.  In Colorado, liberals are already in denial about the fact that two Democratic state senators were recalled from office in districts Barack Obama carried by some 20 percentage points only ten months ago.  The recalls were organized by citizens upset with the lawmakers' votes in favor of a gun-control measure.  The two senators also helped pass bills perceived as being against the interests of rural areas and helped push through a fraud-prone election law that shifted the Centennial State to all-mail voting.

Possible fraud cited in Hamtramck primary, information sent to prosecutor's office.  The Wayne County Board of Canvassers voted today [9/9/2013] to forward information from Hamtramck to the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office and the chief Wayne County Circuit Court judge, saying there's enough information to believe fraud took place in the city's Aug. 6 primary.  Around 9:30 a.m. Tuesday, workers are expected to begin recounting ballots from Detroit's elections for several seats, including the mayor's race.

Election Fraud: Detecting the Undetectable.  No one knows how much election fraud occurs in America because under the current system much election fraud is simply — undetectable. [...] If an ineligible, perhaps a noncitizen, has been registered for years and has been voting, then he'll continue to be able to vote unless registrars correct the registrations already on-file.  If you're a noncitizen and you get on a voter registry, you can vote.  And the fraud you commit when voting will be — undetectable.

Somali Immigrants Charged With 2012 Voter Fraud in Minnesota.  Double voting in a federal election is a felony. But the Holder DOJ hasn't acted, so far.

Are You Sure There's No Voter Fraud?  The outcry from the administration on the voter ID issue as well as the manufactured outrage about the Supreme Court's decision upholding but modifying the Voting Rights Act is predicated on the false idea that these measures are a new version of discriminatory Jim Crow laws.  Given the night-and-day difference between the world of Jim Crow that drew Americans to the 1963 March on Washington and the America of 2013, this is an obvious effort to both revive flagging interest in civil-rights organizations and to brand President Obama's critics as racists.

CA Mulls Allowing Non-Citizens to Work Polling Stations as Translators.  The State of California is seriously considering allowing non-citizens work at polls throughout the state during elections.  The Sacramento Bee reported weeks ago that the California Legislature has passed a bill that would let non-citizens who are "lawful permanent residents who meet all the other requirements for being eligible to vote except for citizenship" work at the polls.

Partisanship and 'Voting Rights'.  Freed from the strictures of preclearance — and with Republican majorities elected in 2010 and a GOP governor elected in 2012 — lawmakers in Raleigh passed a series of changes to the state's voting laws, including an ID requirement, elimination of same-day voter registration and "preregistration" of minors in high schools, and a reduction in the number of days on which early voting is allowed.

'True the Vote' Finds 173 Cases of Suspected Interstate Vote Fraud.  True the Vote (TTV), the nation's leading voters' rights organization, today announced new research findings of interstate voter fraud in Florida and Maryland. Florida and Maryland state election authorities and the U.S. Department of Justice were formally notified of 173 cases of voters casting ballots simultaneously in both states during federal elections.

Vote Fraud: 163 poll workers in Ohio retired because of a "high error" rate (read fraud).  Hamilton County in Ohio has seen it [sic] problems with vote fraud.  Just last month veteran poll worker, Melowese Richardson, was sentenced to five years in prison for voting multiple times.  The county was also investigating 39 other voter fraud cases.  Now the county is retiring 163 other poll workers for their high rate of errors.

The Dems Rally Their Legions of Haters for 2014.  This email arrived yesterday from MoveOn, whose communications are generally indistinguishable from those of the Democratic Party.  The subject line was "New York Times stunner."  ["]Republicans are trying to steal control of the U.S. Senate by making it harder to vote.  Pitch in to help defend the right to vote and stop Republicans from stealing the 2014 election.["]  This plea requires a certain chutzpah, as stealing elections at the polls has always been a Democratic specialty.  I think what they are actually referring to is Republican efforts to ensure honest voting so that Democrats can't steal elections.

The Editor says...
I don't see anything wrong with "making it harder to vote," because under the current system, it is too easy for dead people to vote and too easy for somebody else to cast a vote using my name, and too easy to bring in a bus load of homeless bums or nursing home residents and "assist" them with their votes.

Hillary Builds 2016 Campaign on Racial Politics.  Hillary Clinton has worked her way back in the news by making racially-charged remarks to the American Bar Association's annual meeting in San Francisco.  There is, she claimed, an ongoing "assault on voting rights."  But the only "assault" going on is a liberal assault on the truth about efforts to protect the integrity of our election process.

Voting problems prompt retraining of poll workers.  Hundreds of Hamilton County poll workers will be retrained — and 163 "retired" — as a result of voting problems in the 2012 election.  That includes 94 workers at 16 precincts that will be completely restaffed because of a high number of errors.  The others failed to vote themselves and/or performed poorly on Election Day.

Rand Paul: No 'objective evidence' African Americans are prevented from voting.  Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) said Wednesday that there is no "objective evidence" that African-American voters are being disenfranchised in modern elections.

Florida governor plans to resume voter purge effort.  Florida Governor Rick Scott is planning a new effort to purge non-U.S. citizens from the state's voter rolls, a move that last year prompted a series of legal challenges and claims from critics his administration was trying to intimidate minority voters.

When election fraud isn't fraud: Giron's new Colorado election law.  According to Colorado's new election law, there is effectively no residency requirement to vote in any specific jurisdiction.  As long as voters don't vote more than once, they can pretty much vote wherever they want.  This is just one of the "features" of the new election law passed in May at the end of the legislative session and signed into law by Governor John Hickenlooper on May 10.

Felon voting rights have a bigger impact on elections than voter ID laws.  Voter identification laws have Democrats up in arms.  One of the reasons, as Nate Cohn illustrated last week, is that they disproportionately affected non-white and Democratic voters in North Carolina.  This effect, however, only would have padded Romney's lead in the state by 0.5 [percent] to 0.8 [percent].  In other words, it would only have made a difference in the tightest of elections, and North Carolina isn't close to being the state that determines the winner in presidential elections.  If Democrats want to be upset about something, they should turn their attention to felon and ex-felon voting restrictions.

More Voting-Rights Challenges from Holder.  The Washington Post reports that Eric Holder plans to file voting-rights challenges not only against Texas, which the DOJ did last week, but against a number of other states, too.  These challenges are part of a crusade to, as Holder says, "use every tool" at the Obama administration's disposal to continue federal oversight of the states in this area, despite the Supreme Court's decision last month in Shelby County v. Holder.

Gov. Rick Perry blasts Obama's attempted "end-run" on Voting Rights Act.  Gov. Rick Perry is blasting the Obama administration, after Attorney General Eric Holder's announcement this morning that he will try to use the courts to reimpose a form of "preclearance" for voting law changes.

Voting Rights Act Anachronism.  In its Shelby County vs. Holder ruling, the high court struck down provisions of the 1965 Voting Rights Act requiring states with a history of voting discrimination from having to seek Justice Department or court approval of redrawn voting districts.  Writing for the high court's majority, Justice Roberts noted a "1,000 percent increase since 1965 in the number of African-American elected officials in the six states originally covered by the Voting Rights Act."

Data Mining and Elections.  The Obama administration has been collecting enormous amounts of communications and other data on Americans.  The justification which is offered (and which is being accepted on both sides of the aisle) is the need to monitor this information to protect us in the age of modern terrorism.  The most credible complaint we hear is that they're gathering data on their political opposition.  The IRS scandal gives weight to this thought.  But an overlooked motive will play a pivotal role in 2014:  this data-mining effort, in significant part, is a vehicle for getting votes.

Flashback — Holder: Universal Voter Registration Through Federal Benefits.  Election integrity advocates must always remember that even progressive contingency plans have contingency plans.  President Obama's reported statement in Senegal regarding the Supreme Court decision to strike down Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act as outdated and unconstitutional was a dog whistle to election law agitators that deserves interpretation.

Supreme Court voids key part of voting law, sets up standoff between feds and states.  A landmark Supreme Court ruling that struck down a key part of the Voting Rights Act has set up a stand-off between Republican-led states and the Obama administration over controversial voting laws that until now had been stalled.  The 5-4 ruling on Tuesday [6/25/2013] addressed a 1960s-era provision that largely singled out states and districts in the South — those with a history of discrimination — and required them to seek federal permission to change their voting laws.  The court ruled that the formula determining which states are affected was unconstitutional.

US Supreme Court strikes down Voting Rights Act clause.  The US Supreme Court has struck down a key part of a landmark civil rights-era electoral law designed to protect minority voters.  By a margin of 5-4, the justices quashed Section 4 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.  They ruled that an updated formula was needed to decide which jurisdictions' election laws need monitoring.

Supreme Court limits key part of Voting Rights Act.  A bitterly divided Supreme Court drove a stake through the heart of the landmark Voting Rights Act Tuesday [6/25/2013], striking down a coverage formula that Congress has used to monitor states with a history of discrimination.  Declaring that "our country has changed in the past 50 years," Chief Justice John Roberts and the court's four other conservatives said the 1965 law cannot be enforced unless Congress updates it to account for a half-century of civil rights advances.

Supreme Court limits federal oversight of Voting Rights Act.  A federal civil rights law that has stood for generations will be tougher to enforce after Tuesday's ruling by the Supreme Court.  In a 5-4 vote, justices limited the historic Voting Rights Act of 1965, which Congress passed during the height of America's volatile civil rights movement.

That Was Quick: Texas Moves Forward With Voter ID Law After Supreme Court Ruling.  Just hours after the Supreme Court handed down a ruling that guts parts of the Voting Rights Act, Texas is moving forward with a controversial voter ID law that state Attorney General Greg Abbott hopes to implement right away.  "With today's [6/25/2013] decision, the state's voter ID law will take effect immediately," Abbott said in a statement to the Dallas Morning News.  "Redistricting maps passed by the Legislature may also take effect without approval from the federal government."

Online ballot fraud marks the 'e-boletera era of Miami politics'.  The election scandal dogging Congressman Joe Garcia's campaign and two state House races makes it clear:  Computer techies are supplementing old-school, block-walking ballot-brokers known as boleteras.  Over just a few days last July, at least two groups of schemers used computers traced to Miami, India and the United Kingdom to fraudulently request the ballots of 2,046 Miami-Dade voters.

Dem bill would require companies to give workers paid time off to vote.  A group of House Democrats has proposed legislation that would require companies around the country to give workers two hours of paid time off in order to vote in federal elections.  The bill, from Rep. Matt Cartwright (D-Pa.), is co-sponsored by 17 Democrats, including many from states or U.S. territories without laws in place to guarantee paid time off.

The Editor says...
And of course as long as you're on the Democrats' payroll for those two hours, you know how you're expected to vote.  The Democrats haven't bought your vote, strictly speaking, but you owe them two hours of your pay, which could be quite substantial in the 30-hour work week under Obamacare.

SCOTUS opens the door for illegal aliens registering to vote.  The Constitution says you have to be a U.S. citizen in order to vote.  Arizona passed a law saying you need to show proof of that citizenship when you register to vote.  Alas, our Supreme Court has now said "no, you don't."

Left Loses Big in Citizenship-Verification Supreme Court Case.  Something perverse happened after the Supreme Court's decision today [6/17/2013] invalidating citizenship-verification requirements in Arizona for registrants who use the federal voter registration form.  The Left knows they lost most of the battle, but are still claiming victory.  That's what they do. [...] The decision today uncorks state power.  The Left wanted state power stripped and they lost.

Supreme Court Sides Against Voting System's Integrity.  A 7-2 high court majority blocks states from displacing the status quo that makes voter fraud easier than credit card fraud.  Federal law is helping noncitizens unconstitutionally vote liberals into power.

SCOTUS: States Can't Require Proof of Citizenship to Vote in Federal Elections.  The Supreme Court ruled today in Arizona v. Inter Tribal Council that federal law does not allow states the option of requiring voters to prove they are American citizens when they register to vote.

Ted Cruz hopes to reverse SCOTUS ruling on Arizona voter registration law.  Seven Supreme Court justices ruled that federal law prevents Arizona from requiring a proof of citizenship from newly-registering voters, but Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, hopes to change that during the ongoing debate over the Senate immigration bill. [...] Justice Antonin Scalia, in the majority opinion, wrote that the Motor Voter law "precludes Arizona from requiring a federal form applicant to submit information beyond that required by the form itself."

Obama Supporter Guilty Of Multiple Counts Of Voter Fraud In Ohio.  Melowese Richardson has already admitted that she committed voter fraud to help Barack Obama get elected. [...] However, that wasn't the only fraudulent vote Richardson cast.

157 Shulman WH Visits: IRS Fish Rots From The Head.  If the IRS vendetta against Tea Party and conservative political and religious groups were the act of rogue agents in a single office — a discredited alibi some administration defenders cling to — perhaps they can explain what happened to Catherine Engelbrecht.  Shortly after Engelbrecht founded True the Vote, which trains election volunteers to help root out voter fraud, and King Street Patriots, a group with ideals similar to the Tea Party, and sought tax-exempt status from the IRS in July 2010 for both groups, she was hit by an onslaught of federal harassment.

More about the use of the IRS as a weapon.

What Did Nixon Do?  [Scroll down]  Obama may not stand accused of breaking into his enemies' offices to gain an unfair electoral advantage, but he has engaged in tactics aimed at unfairly suppressing the Republican vote.  Under Obama, the Department of Justice gave free rein to ACORN and similar left-wing voter fraud factories, refusing to investigate their many wrongdoings.  DoJ let the New Black Panther Party off scot-free for physically intimidating Philadelphia voters.  The Obama administration appeared to violate the civil rights of nearly 200,000 U.S. soldiers around the world by deliberately disenfranchising them because they tend to vote Republican.

Anti-Fraud Group 'True the Vote' Harassed NOT JUST by IRS, but FBI, OSHA... then ATF!  Houston-based True the Vote is an organization dedicated to preserving the integrity of the voting process.  They're a outfit any normal, good-faith American ought to be glad exists, what with 160 U.S. counties showing more people registered than the actual number of live, eligible voters in existence.  Alas, the compulsively-crooked Obama White House despises them.  True the Vote IS NOT a Republican outfit, and promotes no candidates nor political issues- they're merely focused on ensuring legal/fair/inclusive voting.

The Editor says...
Obama's rabid opposition to non-partisan groups who try to prevent voter fraud can be interpreted as evidence of the intent to stuff ballot boxes and steal elections.

Barack Obama's America.  In Barack Obama's America, states cannot be allowed to enforce immigration laws, but they can't be allowed not to enforce health-care laws.  States that won't enforce federal laws against vote fraud get a free pass, while states that do try to abide by federal laws against vote fraud get sued by the feds.

City Council to discuss allowing non-citizens to vote in city elections.  The [New York] City Council Committee on Immigration and the Committee on Government Relations will hold a join hearing tomorrow on non-citizen permanent resident voting in municipal elections.

A Federal Takeover of Elections?  On March 28, President Obama issued Executive Order 13639, establishing a Presidential Commission on Election Administration "in order to promote the efficient administration of Federal elections and to improve the experience of all voters."  The ostensible premise behind this effort is the idea that some voters were forced to wait too long in line to cast their ballots.  Yet a growing number of critics see something entirely different:  they see this as an attempt to initiate a federal takeover of elections.

Dem Candidate Listed Twice on Ballot in South Carolina Special Election.  Elizabeth Colbert-Busch, the Democratic nominee for the South Carolina First Congressional District special election, is listed twice on today's ballot.  Colbert-Busch is also the nominee of the Working Families party.

Court Rules Election Fraud Got Obama On The Ballot In 2008.  Democrats keep telling us that there's no reason to worry about securing the ballot or checking voter ID because fraud happens so seldom that it's practically inconsequential.  Tell that to a jury in Indiana that just ruled both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton only got on the Indiana primary ballot in 2008 because of election fraud.

Dem Officials Convicted of Fraud in Getting Obama, Clinton on 2008 Ballot.  In 2008, both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton got on the ballot illegally in the presidential primary in Indiana. On Thursday, two Democratic political operatives were convicted on all counts relating to the scheme.

Ballot-fraud convictions shed light on Obama's '08 campaign.  Two former Indiana Democratic Party officials have been convicted on multiple counts of election fraud.  Two St. Joseph County Democratic operatives have been found guilty of conspiring to forge signatures in order to get both Obama and then-presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton on the ballot in Indiana.

Aftermath of forgery trial.  Local party leaders and others reacted Friday [4/26/2013] to the verdict in the forgery trial involving former longtime chair of the county and congressional district Democratic Party Butch Morgan and party member Dustin Blythe.  Accused of conspiring to forge signatures on petitions to place Democratic candidates on the state primary ballot in 2008, the two were convicted Thursday on multiple felony counts after three days of testimony.  Morgan faces up to 22 years in prison, and Blythe faces up to 75 years.

Voter Fraud: Obama Failed to Qualify For Indiana Ballot? How Many Other States?  During the 2008 election cycle, the evidence for voter fraud was abundant, but the majority of Americans did not see the evidence due to the typical mainstream media blackout on any news item that doesn't advance the Statist / Liberalism agenda.  The evidence of voter fraud in the 2012 election is equally available and occurred in various states, but again, few heard the evidence from mainstream media.  What is news is that Fox News (a mainstream outlet) has reported on the possibility that Obama used voter fraud to provide enough signatures to be on the Indiana ballot.  In how many other states were illegal means applied?

Trial begins for officials accused in Obama, Clinton ballot petition fraud.  The trial is underway for a former Democratic official and a Board of Elections worker who are accused of being part of a plot that has raised questions over whether President Obama's campaign — when he was a candidate in 2008 — submitted enough legitimate signatures to have legally qualified for the presidential primary ballot.  The two face charges of orchestrating an illegal scheme to fake the petitions that enabled then-candidates Obama, and Hillary Clinton, to qualify for the race in Indiana.

Officials found guilty in Obama, Clinton ballot petition fraud.  A jury in South Bend, Indiana has found that fraud put President Obama and Hillary Clinton on the presidential primary ballot in Indiana in the 2008 election.  Two Democratic political operatives were convicted Thursday night in the illegal scheme after only three hours of deliberations.  They were found guilty on all counts.

Indiana Dems Convicted for Obama, Clinton Ballot Petition Forgery Scheme.  Two Democratic political operatives have been convicted for a scheme that involved forging petitions to get Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on the 2008 primary ballot in Indiana.  Convicted Thursday on felony conspiracy charges related to the scheme, Butch Morgan Jr. directed Democratic officials to forge the petitions, which are required for candidates on the ballot.  The second man, Dustin Blythe, was also convicted on felony forgery charges, Fox News reports.

Trial begins for officials accused in Obama, Clinton ballot petition fraud.  The trial is underway for a former Democratic official and a Board of Elections worker who are accused of being part of a plot that has raised questions over whether President Obama's campaign — when he was a candidate in 2008 — submitted enough legitimate signatures to have legally qualified for the presidential primary ballot.  The two face charges of orchestrating an illegal scheme to fake the petitions that enabled then-candidates Obama, and Hillary Clinton, to qualify for the race in Indiana.

Voter Fraudster Amy Busefink Lobbies Texas Legislature to Conceal Voter Fraud.  Project Vote Deputy Director Amy Busefink is busy lobbying the Texas legislature on election-integrity issues — trying to stop Texas from checking to see if Texas voters are registered in multiple states.  She recently organized a letter of various left-wing groups trying to stop legislation before the Texas House Elections Committee.  Members of the Texas legislature shouldn't take Busefink seriously — she has a history of participating in voter fraud.

Does Obama's Election Commission Signal Federal Takeover of Elections?  Since March 28, when President Obama issued an executive order creating the Presidential Commission on Election Administration, a growing number of individuals and organizations have reacted to this move by raising concerns about a possible federal takeover of American elections.  The commission, created by Executive Order 13639, will be composed of no more than nine members, led by two co-chairs, Robert Bauer and Benjamin Ginsberg, attorneys for the Obama and Romney campaigns respectively.

Fraud Conviction tied to 2008 Obama victory.  Fraud was committed to get the name of Barack Obama on the ballot in St. Joseph County in 2008.  A guilty plea entered Thursday [3/28/2013] could leave a stain on the Obama victory.  At the center of this story is Butch Morgan, a longtime Democratic Party leader who lost his post as St. Joseph County chair when the scandal broke.  Morgan is accused of telling three people to forge names on a ballot petition including Bev Shelton who pleaded guilty to forgery and fraud.  She has agreed to testify against the others.

Obama's executive order: Panel to form 'best practices' election guide for states.  President Obama is issuing a new executive order on Thursday [3/28/2013] aimed at cracking down on election problems — but specifics are still scarce.  Read between the lines of the group's mission statement, and it seems the group will be overseeing state election laws, to at least some degree. [...] Mr. Obama first announced the creation of this administrative body during his State of the Union speech.  But the White House has yet to detail how exactly the commission will act.

Mark Levin: Obama is Trying to Nationalize Our Election Process.  So what is the federal role for setting the rules for voting?  Levin said there is none.  "In the ratification debates in the states, after the Constitutional Convention ended, after they sent draft copies of the Constitution to the states to ratify, there was much debate in the states over this issue.  And some of the anti-federalists who opposed the Constitution were very, very concerned that the federal government would interfere with state election laws.  And they felt if the federal government did that, the federal, central government would have control over the election process and use it to its benefit.  And that, ladies and gentlemen, I am certain is what Obama is up to."

Four NY Democrats Sentenced to Community Service, Jail Time For Role in Voter Fraud Case.  Four Democrats involved in an upstate New York voter fraud scandal were sentenced yesterday [3/12/2013] for their respective roles, receiving punishments ranging from hundreds of hours of community service, to jail time.  The group consisted of a former city clerk, an ex-City Councilman, a Democrat operative, and a Committeeman who a year ago had declared ballot forgery in upstate New York to be "a normal political tactic".  Those sentenced yesterday were cooperating witnesses in a scheme which saw dozens of voters testify that absentee ballots had been submitted in their names during the 2009 Working Families Party (WFP) primary.

Cincinnati poll worker charged with voting half dozen times in November.  She admitted voting twice in the presidential election last November, and now, Obama supporter Melowese Richardson has been indicted for allegedly voting at least six times.  She also is charged with illegal voting in 2008 and 2011.  The 58-year-old veteran Cincinnati poll worker, indicted Monday [3/11/2013], faces eight counts of voter fraud.  Two others, one of whom is a nun, have been charged separately.

Nun & poll worker charged with voter fraud.  A nun, a poll worker and a senior citizen are charged with voter fraud in Hamilton County stemming from the contentious 2012 presidential election.  Russell Glossop, 75, Melowese Richardson, 58 and Sister Marguerite Kloos each face charges of voter fraud.

Is the South Still Racist?  At issue in Shelby County v. Holder was whether some states in the American South, unlike many states in the North, must still submit any change in voting practices to the Justice Department for approval, as required by one section of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.  As Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg noted, the practical enforcement of this provision is mainly directed at Mississippi, Alabama and Louisiana.

Voting rights in a changed America.  In the case the Supreme Court heard last week, lawyers for Alabama's Shelby County argue that the mandate is unconstitutional because it unfairly singles out nine states, mostly in the South, depriving them of normal latitude in operating their elections.  No one disputes that the rule made sense in 1965, or even later.  But by now, critics argue, the South has evolved too far to justify being treated as guilty until proven innocent.

The case of the phantom ballots: an electoral whodunit.  Somebody rigged a computer program to fraudulently obtain more than 2,000 absentee ballots in three races.  The plot didn't work.  But it could have.

'I wanted my vote to count'.  Melowese Richardson, who lives in Cincinnati, told a local television station that she voted twice because she 'certainly wanted my vote to count.'  The grandmother is one of 19 people being investigated by Hamilton County over voter fraud in the recent 2012 election.

NC Board of Elections Involved in Illegal Voting Practices.  Ever since Obama's 2008 election, grassroots conservatives in North Carolina have painstakingly reviewed and documented voter irregularities to see if fraud was taking place.  Many discrepancies are still being found, but the nonprofit Civitas Institute has proof through a series of public records requests that the State Board of Elections worked with the Obama campaign to violate election laws.

Did Obama supporter vote 6 times in 2012? Ohio poll worker target of investigation.  The Obama/Biden lawn sign remains proudly planted in front of Melowese Richardson's Cincinnati home, three months after the presidential election. [...] Richardson told a local television station this month that she voted twice last November.  She cast an absentee ballot and then voted at the polls as well.  "Yes, I voted twice," Richardson told WCPO-TV. [...] Authorities also are investigating if she voted in the names of four other people, too, for a total of six votes in the 2012 presidential election.

Long Lines, Tall Tales, and Federalized Elections.  President Obama's State of the Union address contained a justification for more federal control over state elections.  In the past, creeping federalization over state elections was properly justified by state racial discrimination, then the sketchier reason of inadequate numbers of welfare recipients registering to vote.  This year, long lines at the polls served as the bogeyman for the latest federal intrusion into state elections.

Democratic voter fraud cases become ammo for Virginia GOP.  Well-publicized instances of attempted voter fraud by high-profile Democrats in Virginia and Maryland have helped Republican lawmakers make a case for tougher voting requirements.

Long voting lines might not be as widespread as Obama says.  Voters in five states reported waiting more than 20 minutes.  Six states notched an average of less than five minutes.  Los Angeles County voters waited only three-and-a-half minutes, and Vermont voters were the luckiest.  They reported only a two-minute wait.

Obama's Voting Initiative Greeted With Skepticism.  President Barack Obama's State of the Union pledge to create a nonpartisan commission to "improve the voting experience in America" has triggered reactions from the election-overhaul community that range from guarded optimism to overt disappointment.

Poll worker accused of voter fraud in Hamilton County speaks out.  Twenty-eight subpoenas have been issued as a result of the investigation, which includes 19 Hamilton County voters and nine witnesses who still need to answer questions to satisfy the board.

Ohio woman: Yeah, I voted for Obama twice... what's the big deal?  Nineteen cases of possible voter fraud are being investigated in Hamilton County, Ohio.  One of the people being investigated is proud to admit she voted for President Obama — twice.  She also helped others vote for Obama — twice.  The woman insinuates that it was all just a mistake because she was unsure of the process.  Bonus points:  She's a poll worker.
[Emphasis added.]

Voter-Fraud Allegations Against Hamilton County, Ohio Woman Who May Have Voted Six Times.  The most potentially outrageous case involves Melowese Richardson, who "admits to voting twice in the last election."  Even though "she has worked the polls since 1988," she offered a hopelessly lame excuse for the multiple vote.  She may also have voted four additional times under others' names, and also appears to have helped her granddaughter vote twice.

The Voter Fraud That 'Never Happens' Keeps Coming Back.  The Hamilton County [Ohio] Board of Elections is investigating 19 possible cases of alleged voter fraud that occurred when Ohio was a focal point of the 2012 presidential election.  A total of 19 voters and nine witnesses are part of the probe.  Democrat Melowese Richardson has been an official poll worker for the last quarter century and registered thousands of people to vote last year.  She candidly admitted to Cincinnati's Channel 9 this week that she voted twice in the last election.

The Big List of vote fraud reports.  [T]he reports of voting irregularities started leaking out, then gushing out — like the 59 different Philadelphia voting divisions in which Mitt Romney received zero votes compared to Obama's 19,605.  And the Cleveland precinct in which Obama beat Romney 542 to 0.  (In fact, Romney received zero votes in nine Cleveland precincts.)  And in one Ohio county — widely considered ground zero for the election — Obama received 106,258 votes from 98,213 eligible voters — an impossible 108 percent of the vote.  And that's just the beginning.

Underestimating our voter fraud vulnerability.  Chaotic voter registration rolls make it too easy to commit voter fraud.  A February study by the non-partisan Pew Center on the States found one in eight voter registrations were inaccurate, out-of-date or duplicates.  Nearly 2.8 million people were registered in two or more states, and perhaps 1.8 million registered voters are dead.  Critics of voter ID laws also fail to note they are designed not just to stop voter impersonation but also multiple voting, non-citizen voting, people voting in the wrong precinct, out-of-state voting and voting in the names of fictitious people.

Voter Fraud Redefined.  Voter fraud, also known as vote fraud, election fraud, and electoral fraud, refers to the specific offenses of fraudulent voting, impersonation, perjury, voter registration fraud, forgery, counterfeiting, bribery, destroying already cast ballots, and a multitude of crimes related to the electoral process. [...] Fraudulent registrations, of course, open the door to fraudulent voting, something the left vehemently denies.  They deny it because the left depends on voter fraud in order to get left-wing candidates elected.

If You Don't Vote, There Is No Fraud.  [Scroll down]  The Texas Independent reported that the King Street Patriots found nearly 20,000 registered voters shared the same address of six or more people in Shelia Jackson Lee's (TX-18) district.  This anomaly was 2-9 times higher than in surrounding districts.  At this point in time the KSP's have review only 3,800 of the 20,000 suspicious registered voters, but already have had over 450 voters thrown off the voter roll because of "duplicate registrations, nonexistent addresses, addresses corresponding to vacant lots, or the drivers licenses number not matching the registration."

The Myth About Democrat Voter Suppression In the 2012 Elections.  Democratic media and talking points do not disclose that 2012 wait times were slightly shorter than in 2008, there were no significant differences in wait times by party identification, voters were satisfied with the voting process, and expressed considerable support for voter IDs.  The 2012 election was much the same as 2008 but without the same Democrat gnashing of teeth over voter suppression.

Going to Court in the Allen West Contest.  Today [2/4/2013], True the Vote filed a federal lawsuit against the St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections regarding the contest for the 18th Congressional District in Florida — the Allen West race.  The case is brought under the 1993 Motor Voter law.  In 1993, Motor Voter became law.  Most people know about the voter registration requirements in motor vehicle offices — "Would you like to register to vote?", asks the person renewing your vehicle registration.  But Motor Voter was much bigger than just that — it also required voter registration be pushed in welfare offices and drug treatment facilities.

True the Vote Sues St. Lucie County, FL Over 'Botched' Allen West Contest.  After one of the most expensive congressional races and recounts of 2012 between Rep. Allen West (R) and now Rep. Patrick Murphy (D), Houston-based True the Vote has committed to exposing exactly what happened in St. Lucie County — including hauling Elections Supervisor Gertrude Walker into federal court.  True the Vote filed a federal lawsuit against Walker, the controversial election administrator, for failure to comply with federal law.

True the Vote Files Lawsuit Against Supervisor of Elections Over Mishandling of Allen West Recount.  Voter integrity group True the Vote (TTV) filed a federal lawsuit Monday against St. Lucie County Florida Supervisor of Elections Gertrude Walker for failing to uphold election law and for failing to enforce record inspection rights under the National Voter Registration Act and the Florida Constitution.  The lawsuit has been filed in light of the gross mishandling of the recount between Rep. Allen West and now Rep. Patrick Murphy by St. Lucie County election officials.

Ballot Integrity In the State of Washington.  A reader emailed earlier today [1/25/2013] to say that he and his wife recently moved to Washington State.  His wife is a Canadian citizen who has a green card.  Much to their surprise, she received in the mail a voter registration card issued by the county in which they live, informing her that "You are registered to vote."

Analysis: 201,000 in Florida didn't vote because of long lines.  The long Election Day lines around Florida may have turned away more than 200,000 frustrated would-be voters who gave up and went home before they cast ballots — or else saw the lines and elected not to join them.

AP Gives False and Conflicting Information on Potential Voter Fraud Case.  In a move that serves to discount the severity of voter fraud in the US, the Associated Press' Gary Fineout posted two conflicting reports regarding a voter fraud investigation.  Strangely, after posting inaccurate information in an article, the heavily left-leaning AP staff writer then posted an update — one that conflicted with the first false posting, yet was still false in itself.

How Chicago and Obama Globalized Voter Fraud .  Chicago has a long tradition of padding its vote totals by placing homeless and deceased persons on its voter registration list.  Jim Laski, who once served as the City Clerk of Chicago, second in power only to the mayor, noted in his book My Fall From Grace that fraudulent voters were registered to addresses that included cemeteries, municipal buildings, and taverns. [...] Other voters who had died or moved away were also on the voter registration list.  Once again, the tendency for the dead to vote in Chicago can be easily explained:  the dead cannot be expected to walk to City Hall and remove themselves from the registered voter list.

Mass. Dem Resigns after Pleading Guilty to Voter Fraud.  WBZ Boston reports Massachusetts State Rep. Stephen Smith resigned Monday [12/31/2012] after pleading guilty to voter fraud.

A letter to the President about e-voting.  In a letter delivered to President Obama and congressional leaders this week, a broad coalition of experts, including congressional representatives, elections officers and cyber security experts, is urging the president and Congress to reject any calls for Internet voting.  They are warning officials that Internet voting remains a highly insecure option that leaves our systems vulnerable to cyber-attacks and technical failures.

Open letter to President Obama.  Voting systems in current use are run by unobservable software that can produce erroneous results, either due to inadvertent errors or malicious attacks.  Therefore, after an election it is imperative to check that the software has behaved correctly.  That means that election results need to be audited independently of voting system hardware and software to make sure that the software has performed correctly, and it must be possible to recount all the votes in order to confirm the election results.

Democrat Officials in Maryland, NJ, NY and Massachusetts Face Prison Time for Voter Fraud.  Democratic Congressional candidate Wendy Rosen dropped from her race against Republican Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) in September after it was discovered she had been voting in two states in recent elections — Maryland and Florida.  Rosen said she was saddened to leave the race in Maryland.  She still received 92,000 votes in November.

Stop 2012 Fraud or Forget About Elections.  If the American people don't stand up and stop the unparalleled fraud that decided the 2012 election before it was even held, they can totally forget about any future elections.  Unless the American people muster the courage to stop this electoral theft of our nation, the people can forget about future elections as any means to solve anything.

Fraud With Implications.  With its hanging chads, butterfly ballots, and U.S. Supreme Court intervention, the Florida fiasco forced us to confront an ugly reality:  The United States has been making do with what noted political scientist Walter Dean Burnham has called "the modern world's sloppiest electoral systems."  Just how sloppy was demonstrated this year, when the Pew Center on the States found the names of 1.8 million deceased persons still registered to vote on state rolls.  Roughly 2.75 million people are registered to vote in more than one state.

U.S. Should Consider Automatic Voter Registration: Holder.  The U.S. should consider automatically registering eligible voters and extending voting hours to counter the November election's long lines and administrative hurdles, Attorney General Eric Holder said.  Holder, speaking today at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston, proposed expanding access for voters and overhauling a registration system he called "antiquated."

Security issues threaten to derail tablet voting.  Incidentally, *everyone* in NJ could have availed themselves of paper ballot voting if they had registered as permanent absentees (no reason needed).  It's an easy form, and every year, like clockwork, your ballot shows up to fill out and send back (or drop off at the County Board of Elections).  No polls, no lines, no waiting.

Precinct 93 in the Allen West Recount had 7 registered voters and 900 ballots cast!  We have obvious voter fraud here!

Rep. Allen West challenger declares victory - again - after missed certification deadline.  In a prepared statement shortly after noon, [Patrick Murphy's] campaign manager Anthony Kusich said:  "It is beyond time to put this campaign behind us and put the interests of the people on the Treasure Coast and Palm Beaches first."  West's campaign, though, is calling for an emergency hearing over "concerns" raised during the recount process, including 900 votes it says were cast in precinct 93, where there are only seven voters registered.

Useful Liberal Idiots and Vote Fraud.  Among the responses to my recent article on Democrat vote fraud were those of liberals who were happy to hear no evil, see no evil — and be the evil.  Their rationalization-aided attitudes ranged from accusing traditionalists of being sore winners to equating 2012 with Bush-Gore in 2000 to simply denying hard evidence.  Does it matter at all to you, liberals, that Democrats were actually caught on video facilitating and promising to engage in vote fraud?

Election Integrity.  Election officials are upstanding professionals, but because they must deal with so many tallies, nobody can fault them for making a few minor mathematical errors.  For example, in Wood County, Ohio, the voting age population totals 98,213, but on Election Day, 106,258 were registered to vote.  Why, the difference is only about 8,000 votes — nothing at all to be concerned about, just as the fact that the records of ten Colorado counties show voter registration rates of more than one hundred percent.  Many Ohioans who showed up at the polls were turned away because, as the election overseers assured them, they had already voted.

Nearly 1,000 Uncounted Paper Ballots Found in Broward County, FL Warehouse.  No big deal.  We're just quickly becoming a Third World country that can't even handle elections.

Obama's Jonestowns.  At first, the numbers seemed too absurd to be true:  did Mitt Romney really receive zero votes in 59 Philadelphia voting districts?  Did Barack Obama really outpoll him by a combined 19,605 to 0 votes cast in these 59 districts.  According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, which has no interest in deceiving, the answer is yes.  Immediately, one suspects some element of fraud, but fraud isn't the real issue here.  Obama was producing nearly comparable numbers in inner-cities throughout America, especially those in contested states.

What's the Matter With Florida?  Allen West is challenging the vote count for his congressional seat.  I think I see why.

Did Obama Cheat? How to Answer the Question.  There are 15 states with photo ID requirements for voting.  Mr. Obama lost in all of them.  In places with the weakest controls, specifically counties in Florida, Ohio, Colorado, and Pennsylvania, he generally drew turnouts in the 90% or greater range and won by better than 95% of the vote.

One-Party Statelets.  I was not one of those who objected to the presence of international observers at this month's election, as if the United States were just another banana republic:  By comparison with Canada, Australia, and most other free societies, the integrity of the American ballot is a joke, and ought to be a source of shame.

Was the 2012 Election Stolen?  First there are the anecdotes, such as the court-appointed Republican poll watchers illegally expelled from 13 Philadelphia polling places in wards that, in most cases, went 99 percent for Obama; the poll observers who noted what they considered vote fraud but were powerless to stop; and the Democrats who actually bragged about voting more than once.  Then there are the statistics, such as this staggering fact:  in 59 Philadelphia districts, Romney failed to get even one vote.  Final Obama-Romney tally:  19,605 to 0.  Huh?  Not even one person voted GOP accidentally?

Odd? Romney Got ZERO Votes in 59 Precincts in Philly, and 9 Precincts in Ohio.  What if there are parts of the country where Romney not only got zero percent of the vote (a possibility in the case of vote totals so small that rounding renders them null), but actually got literally zero votes?  For the nominee of a major party, that would be truly extraordinary — so extraordinary, in fact, that it would strain credulity.

Florida Vote: Officials Abruptly Backtrack on Recount.  Controversy continues in the Florida 18th Congressional District race between incumbent Republican Allen West and Democratic challenger Patrick Murphy.  Florida election officials reneged on their promise to count all the early ballots in the scandal-plagued election, excluding more than half of them without clear cause.

West challenges results as Florida declares vote-tally over amid recounts and irregularities.  Florida Republican Rep. Allen West continues to challenge election officials' tallies that show he has lost his re-election bid — amid wild ballot swings on Tuesday and a partial recount needed because of voting-machine problems.  The Tea Party-backed West demanded a recount after the swing of votes on election night, leading Democratic challenger Patrick Murphy by roughly 2,000 votes, then trailing by 2,400 votes about 35 minutes later.

Did Civil War Just Become Inevitable?  [Scroll down]  Now, at a week out from the election, there are still US congressional races that remain in question, and voter turnout numbers that just don't add up.  From counties across America showing well over 100% voter turnout, to precincts reporting 99% voter turnout for Obama, to military ballots being delayed or destroyed in plane crashes, to the illegal ejection of Republican inspectors from polling places, and much more, we have scenarios that would have every Democrat operative in the country screaming from the rooftops if the shoe was on the other foot.

The Free Press confirms installation, secret justification of uncertified last minute election tabulation reporting software in Ohio.  The Free Press has obtained internal memos from the senior staff of the Ohio Secretary of State's office confirming the installation of untested and uncertified election tabulation software.  Yesterday [11/1/2012], the Free Press reported that "experimental" software patches were installed on ES&S voting machines in 39 Ohio counties.

Will "experimental" software patches affect the Ohio vote?  Why did the Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted's office, in an end run around Ohio election law, have "experimental" software patches installed on vote counting tabulators in up to 39 Ohio counties?  Voting rights activists are concerned that these uncertified and untested software patches may alter the election results.

Vote totals for Obama and Romney inexplicably decreasing in three Ohio counties.  Election monitors are reporting funny numbers coming out of Clark, Columbiana, and Hamilton counties (Ohio). [...] The most disturbing numbers are in Clark County where the computers seem to be subtracting numbers from vote totals early in the evening.  What's currently happening at 12:23 am fits the familiar pattern of election theft in Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004.

Elections and Hurricanes: After the Aftermath of the Math.  One of the main goals for the conduct of elections should be to provide sufficient assurance throughout the entire process such that every loser can justifiably believe that he or she actually was not the winner — that is, that there were no events, circumstances, or externalities, accountable or otherwise, that might have altered the results.

Voting technology issues in Virginia on election day.  [Scroll down]  We got a few reports that voters complained of problems (e.g., "no presidential race") and called over a pollworker, who pushed the "cast vote" (or equivalent), and then refused to let them vote again.  (Which was, unfortunately, probably the right answer.)

Virginia city's ballot listing Obama as republican, Romney as democrat.  In one Virginia locality, the electronic voting machines were programmed to show Obama as Republican, Romney as Democrat.  The machines were removed from service and they're now using paper.  But this part made me really nervous:  "All votes that were cast Tuesday morning will be counted properly."  What do they mean by "properly" — was a vote for Obama a vote for the Democratic electors or the Republican electors?  Since some people vote by name and others by party, you can't tell what voters intended.

Security Researchers Warn New Jersey's Emergency E-mail Voting Could Be An Insecure, Illegal Nightmare.  It took less than 24 hours for Matt Blaze, a computer science professor at the University of Pennsylvania who audited voting systems for California and Ohio in 2007, to start pointing out the problems with that workaround:  Unencrypted e-mail can be spoofed or tampered with.  The computers used to send the e-mail, many of which will be in public places like libraries or shelters, could be compromised to change or block voters' choices.

The Truth About the Election:  In terms of our 2012 Election Integrity Project, it looks like Romney's failure to get out the vote made it unnecessary for the Obama machine to outright "steal" the election.  Our work in that area will only increase — our voter rolls are a mess, too many states have no voter ID requirement, and the "President and all his men" are hostile to election integrity.

State 'concerned' about St. Lucie County results in West-Murphy race, sending staff to assess.  The Florida Division of Elections is sending three employees to St. Lucie County on Wednesday to try to figure out how 799 votes disappeared in Sunday's partial recount of the close, nationally watched congressional race between U.S. Rep. Allen West and Democrat Patrick Murphy.

Allen West vs Patrick Murphy race update:  Even before results were announced early in the afternoon [11/11/2012], West partisans were crying foul.  They were angry that St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections Gertrude Walker had recounted only three of eight days worth of early voting ballots.  And tempers did not improve when, moments after the county's Canvassing Board voted to accept the results, a St. Lucie County sheriff's deputy stepped forward and ordered everybody but elections officials out of the building.

Where The Allen West Vote Count Really Stands.  The last possibility for West's chances lies with the St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections, who is dragging their feet in releasing the Voter sign-in rolls.  West's campaign is requesting these rolls in order to compare them with the actual votes cast.  So far, the SOE is saying that they are not all tallied and is currently working on accounting for all of the sign-in rolls.  Monday is a Federal holiday, and the West campaign is indicating that if the St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections does not furnish the sign in rolls on Tuesday [11/13/2012], West will file suit to get the rolls released.

TownHall reports massive voter fraud in St. Lucie County.  According to TownHall almost every precinct in St. Lucie county had over 113% voter turnout.

In 59 Philadelphia voting divisions, Mitt Romney got zero votes.  It's one thing for a Democratic presidential candidate to dominate a Democratic city like Philadelphia, but check out this head-spinning figure:  In 59 voting divisions in the city, Mitt Romney received not one vote. [...] Still, was there not one contrarian voter in those 59 divisions, where unofficial vote tallies have President Obama outscoring Romney by a combined 19,605 to 0?

The Editor says...
The most obvious explanation is that the Republican votes were destroyed by someone with access to the (paper) ballots.  But if electronic voting machines were used in Philadelphia, the Republican votes could have been deleted by software.

Colorado Counties Have More Voters Than People.  A review of voter registration data for ten counties in Colorado details a pattern of voter bloat inflating registration rolls to numbers larger than the total voting age population.  Using publicly available voter data and comparing it to U.S. Census records reveals the ten counties having a total registration ranging between 104 to 140 percent of the respective populations.

Allen West Seeks Recount Amid Growing Vote Count Scandal.  The race for Florida's 18th Congressional district has taken an ugly turn, with charges of incompetence, illegal activity and possible fraud on the part of local election officials.  Democratic challenger Patrick Murphy has declared victory with an apparent 160,328 votes to West's 157,872.  However, serious questions arose immediately about the integrity of the vote count, especially in St. Lucie County.  On election night incumbent Republican Allen West had maintained a district-wide lead of nearly 2000 votes until the St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections inexplicably "recounted" thousands of early ballots, resulting in 4,400 vote shift to the challenger.

Obama Likely Won Re-Election Through Election Fraud.  According to the Columbus Dispatch, one out of every five registered voters in Ohio is ineligible to vote.  In at least two counties in Ohio, the number of registered voters exceeded the number of eligible adults who are of voting age.  In northwestern Ohio's Wood County, there are 109 registered voters for every 100 people eligible to vote.  An additional 31 of Ohio's 88 counties have voter registration rates over 90%, which most voting experts regard as suspicious.  Obama miraculously won 100% of the vote in 21 districts in Cleveland, and received over 99% of the vote where GOP inspectors were illegally removed.

Voter rolls in Ohio are bloated, experts say.  More than one out of every five registered Ohio voters is probably ineligible to vote.  In two counties, the number of registered voters actually exceeds the voting-age population:  Northwestern Ohio's Wood County shows 109 registered voters for every 100 eligible, while in Lawrence County along the Ohio River it's a mere 104 registered per 100 eligible.

Obama Won 108 precent of Registered Voters in one Ohio County.  Let's face it.  Obama won the election.  Just like Putin and Ahmadinejad did theirs.  The only difference is that unlike Iranians and Russians, Americans won't be gathering in the streets to protest their disenfranchisement at the hands of the corrupt Democratic Party machine.

Ohio Residents Told They Already Voted When They Showed Up At the Polls Tuesday.  A couple from Forest Park showed up yesterday [11/6/2012] at the polls to vote just like they have ever since they turned 18.  When it was their turn, they were both told that they had already voted via absentee ballot.  The couple said that they have never voted absentee and wanted to know how this could happen.  Precinct officials told them that they could fill out a provisional ballot, which they did.  Before long, a number of other voters in the same precinct were told the same thing, that they had already voted via absentee ballots and that they also needed to fill out a provisional ballot.

Ohio Voting Machines Only Allow Vote for Obama.  [Scroll down]  But when Marion County resident Joan Stevens tried to vote on Monday she ran into a problem that caused her some alarm.  When she touched the screen to vote for Mitt Romney, the machine lit up the name of Barack Obama.  Joan tried a second time and again the machine lit up Barack Obama when she selected Mitt Romney.  Knowing she did not want to cast her vote for Obama, she tried a third time and finally, the name Mitt Romney lit up.

N.C. Democrat admits he's voted 4 times already and will vote again on election day.  It's amazing what people will say online.  A North Carolina Democrat named Jim Turner posted on his Facebook page that he has voted FOUR times already and will vote again on election day.

Philly DA probes reported voting inspector issues.  State GOP Chairman Rob Gleason said 75 Republican election workers were prohibited from accessing polling places in the heavily Democratic city, prompting the party to seek a court order.  The incidents, Gleason said, ranged from judges of elections refusing to seat minority inspectors to reports of Democrats saying "No Republicans will be allowed in the polling place."

Military Absentee Ballots Delivered One Day Late, Would Have Swung Election For Romney.  Officials say the ballots were delivered late due to problems within the military mail system.  Tracking invoices show the ballots sat in a warehouse for a month, then they were accidentally labeled as ammunition and shipped to Afghanistan.  At Camp Dwyer, Marine Sergeant John Davis signed for them and was surprised at the contents.

Thousands report voting problems.  Long lines weren't the only problems voters are facing across the country Tuesday.  Particularly in battleground states, reports of voting problems were flooding into vote-protection groups.  The Election Protection Coalition, comprised of more than 100 local organizations dedicated to protecting the right to vote, reported more than 70,000 complaint calls by 5 p.m. Eastern time [on Election Day].

Massive Voter Fraud in Broward County Florida: Poll Watcher Ejected From Station.  Election Day antics began early in Broward County, Florida, which, incidentally, is also home to the infamous 'hanging chad' incident between Bush and Gore in the 2000 Presidential election.  When the officially designated poll watcher tried to resume her precinct voting station at 6:15 am, she was denied access by the polling station manager.

Voters report problems with long lines, confusion over voter ID law.  In Philadelphia, the Republican Party said dozens of legally credentialed minority voting inspectors were removed from polling places, reports being looked into by investigators with the District Attorney's office.  State GOP Chairman Rob Gleason said 75 Republican election workers were prohibited from accessing polling places in the heavily Democratic city, prompting the party to seek a court order.

Philly GOP: Poll inspectors being ousted for Dems.  The Philadelphia GOP is reporting that court appointed Minority (read GOP) Inspectors are being thrown out of polling locations in several Wards.  These Inspectors are election officials — again, court appointed — and are reportedly being thrown out by the Head Judges of Elections (these Judges are elected Democrats) and being replaced by Democrats.

Florida's tainted vote.  On election night, [Allen] West had maintained a district-wide lead of nearly 2,000 votes until the St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections inexplicably "recounted" thousands of early ballots, resulting in an awfully convenient 4,400-vote shift in favor of the challenger.  Observers on the scene charged incompetence, intimidation and possible fraud on the part of local election officials.

Allen West Seeks Recount Amid Growing Vote Count Scandal.  Temporary workers are helping the local staff oversee the count of absentee ballots, those damaged by voting machines, and ballots in which the three pages have become separated.  They are making new ballots to replace the damaged ones, and are required to mark them with the same votes.  Florida law allows observers to be present but they are being blocked from making sure the ballots are marked accurately. [...] Critical questions are also being raised about the estimated 8,000 military absentee ballots.  These ballots could decide the election but were only picked up on Wednesday [11/7/2012].  They are being counted in an area that is off-limits to observers, but no explanation has been given why.

Obama Lost in Every State with a Voter Photo-ID Law.  Was the election stolen? Remember all those lawsuits by Democrats demanding that any voter identification laws be repealed?  Well, now we know why they filed them.  They needed to steal the vote in certain key states so that Obama could be reelected.  Curiously, Obama lost in every state that requires a photo ID to be produced before voting.

Fraud in PA: Obama Got Over 99% of Vote at Polls Where GOP Inspectors were Removed.  Across Philadelphia, GOP poll inspectors were forcibly (and illegally) removed from polling locations.  Coincidentally (or not), Mr. Obama received "astronomical" numbers in those very same regions, including locations where he received "over 99%" of the vote. [...] Another problem:  "Voter turnout in Philadelphia was around 60 percent, according to state election figures."  In these precincts it was well over 90% according to House Speaker Sam Smith of Pennsylvania.  Considering all of the other "coincidences" going on, it doesn't seem kosher.

Obama Won a County in Ohio with 108% Voter Registration.  Mr. Obama won Wood County in Ohio this year.  That's right, Mr. Obama won the majority of Wood County's 108% of registered voters.  That's not a typo.  In 2012, 106,258 people in Wood County are registered to vote out of an eligible 98,213.

"Could We Fix An Election — Sure. They Would Never Know It".  Apparently from testimony following the 2004 election, this computer programmer makes clear UNDER OATH, of how easily it would be for an organization, be it Democrat or Republican, to "flip" the election outcome via a rather simple code. — a code this programmer himself easily manufactured.  This is further confirmed at the 3:10 of the video where the programmer notes how the entire system can be "hacked" to control the final voting outcome.

The suspect numbers coming out of Florida.  Locals will have to provide the specifics, but the reason Obama won the election comes down to two major variables:  advertising and vote harvesting. [...] The vote harvester's mission is to gather unthinking collectives of potential voters — nursing home residents, college students, skid-row dwellers — and get them to vote.  Harvesting does not necessarily mean fraud, but it clearly encourages it.  Early voting makes harvesting all the more economical.  Fewer people on the ground can get more accomplished.

Complaint Filed over Illegal Alien Voters.  A group fighting against illegal immigration has filed a series of formal complaints with federal, state, and local agencies following a report by the Las Vegas Journal Review that uncovered a number of cases of illegal immigrants voting in this election.

Voter Fraud is Threat to Clear Outcome.  The city of Philadelphia's system, which allows an open partisan to run the Elections Commission — something that makes it easier for Democrats there to act with impunity every Election Day and makes Republicans in the rest of the state suspect their opponents can come up with whatever numbers they need to win — helped motivate the passage of a voter ID law even though courts have ensured it won't be enforced.

Vote was astronomical for Obama in some Philadelphia wards.  Some Philadelphia neighborhoods outdid themselves in Tuesday's presidential election.  In a city where President Obama received more than 85 percent of the votes, in some places he received almost every one.  In 13 Philadelphia wards, Obama received 99 percent of the vote or more.

Ebony vs. Ivory: When Obama is 99 and 44/100% Pure.  Perhaps we've discovered the real cherished "99 percent."  Writing that "[s]ome Philadelphia neighborhoods outdid themselves in Tuesday's presidential election," Philly.com reports that 13 of the city's wards recorded a victory margin for Barack Obama of 99 percent or more. [...] Of course, such electoral unanimity could raise suspicions of vote fraud, especially since the number of wards in which Obama achieved his purity is remarkably close to the number of polling places (14) that illegally expelled court-appointed Republican vote monitors on Election Day.  In reality, though, Obama's 99-percenter status isn't surprising, given that he enjoys more than 95 percent support from black Americans nationwide.

More Electronic Voting Machines Changing Romney Votes to Obama.  [Scroll down]  Nancy explained that while her husband was casting a vote for Romney, the touchscreen highlighted Obama.  "He played around with the field a little and realized that in order to vote for Romney, his finger had to be exactly on the mark," Nancy wrote in an email.  She said "the invisible Obama field came down about 1/4 [of an inch]" into what should technically have been the Romney area.  In a phone interview with TheBlaze, she explained further that her husband said he felt the area on the touchscreen that could be pushed to vote for Obama was larger than that for Romney.

Evidence of Electronic Vote Fraud Pours In from Both Liberal and Conservative Sources.  Voters in Hamilton County Indianapolis were forced to wait for 30 minutes to begin voting because the machines were not working when the polling station opened.  The AP reports that "cards used to clear tallies from machines before voting begins were improperly programmed," meaning that around 500 machines had to be "reset".  The Toledo Blade reports that some 100 voters were unable to cast ballots this morning in Bedford, Ohio, because a voting machine was not working.  Officials said that a memory card had to be replaced.  Long lines led to people walking away.  In Dubuque, Iowa, more voters were delayed when machines failed to operate for around 45 minutes after the polling station opened.

Colorado Sets the Stage for a Bogus Election.  Colorado election integrity and transparency is now officially out the window, with a series of corruption protection rules and new laws. [...] One telltale sign of election tampering is when thousands more votes than voters show up.  But in Colorado, neither the media nor the public will be allowed to examine the poll lists or the list of names for voters said to have voted absentee, until too late to do anything about discrepancies.

Why Are N.C. Early Voting Machines Changing Romney Votes to Obama?  Just as TheBlaze reported a couple years ago about a "possessed" machine in Texas only allowing votes to be cast for the Green Party, an early voting machine in North Carolina was experiencing a similar issue.  [WGHP] reported that in Guilford County, some casting early ballots found that when they voted for Republican candidate Mitt Romney, the machine appeared to change it to the Democrat candidate Barack Obama.

The Great Election Theft of 2012.  We need a system where the votes can be verified and audited.  We must dump these electronic machines that do not provide an audit trail.  As long as the Party of Fraud has any power in government, do not expect changes.  After all, one of the parties has a vested interest in fraud and stealing elections.

Dozens in Connecticut Registered to Vote After Death.  NBC Connecticut Troubleshooters and a team at Central Connecticut State University cross-checked information from the Social Security Death Index and the current state voter registry and discovered that more than 30 deceased people are still registered to vote in the state.  Each of the deceased individuals was found to have registered to vote after they died.

Former GOP Official Alleges Fraud: "I Was Told I'd Already Voted — But I Hadn't".  The former Digital Director of the National Republican Congressional Committee tells Townhall he fears he's been victimized by voter fraud in the key swing state of Virginia. [...] When the NRCC alumnus arrived to vote at his polling place in Alexandria this morning, his attempt to cast a ballot was rebuffed by election officials:  "I got inside, they set me up, I gave the woman my ID, and I told her my address.  She said, 'it seems you've voted absentee.'  Then she realized she'd read the sheet wrong.  'No, it says here that you've already voted,' she told me. [...]"

Obama Mural Looms Over Philly Poll.  Voters are voting next to a mural of President Barack Obama in one Philadelphia polling place, as captured in a photo posted on Twitter.

Philly poll workers partially cover Obama mural after court order, leaving logo and quote in view.  Workers at a Philadelphia polling place, after being ordered by a judge to cover up a mural of President Obama "in its entirety," slapped up a few pieces of paper that only partially covered his image — while leaving the Obama campaign logo and a quote from the current president in full view for voters.

Judge Orders Obama Mural Covered At Northeast Philadelphia Polling Place.  Local Republicans went to court to have a judge order a mural of President Obama covered up at the Ben Franklin Elementary School polling place in the Northeast Philadelphia.  Republican Party of Pennsylvania Chairman Rob Gleason released the following statement regarding the Republican Party of Pennsylvania's successful challenge.

Democrat Double Voter Caught in North Carolina.  An individual by the name of Andrew Gail Holmes voted early in Sampson County, North Carolina, and then appeared at their precinct today to vote again, according to the staff director of the Sampson County Board of Elections, Donna Mashburn.  "We have a gentleman who had early voted," Mashburn told me this morning, "and went to his precinct to vote.  We are aware of it.  We will handle the issue at canvassing."

Are the Democrats Trying to Steal Pennsylvania?  It is being reported that Democratic Party operatives are evicting court-appointed Republican poll watchers from polling places in Philadelphia.

Déjà Vu: Funny Business at Philadelphia Polling Places.  The battleground state of Pennsylvania is proving to be a potentially volatile region, particularly in Philadelphia.  Members of the New Black Panthers are once again patrolling Philadelphia polling places and resorting to voter intimidation similar to what was seen in Philadelphia in 2008.  In other areas of Philadelphia, Republican election monitors are being turned away from polling places.

Return of the New Black Panthers.  They're back, no thanks to Attorney General Eric Holder.  Members of the New Black Panther Party are again stalking the polls in Philadelphia.

New Black Panthers Back at Philadelphia Polling Station.  This is the same location where New Black Panther Party members wielded Billy clubs on Election Day in 2008.  Voter intimidation charges against them were dropped by Attorney General Eric Holder's Department of Justice.

Residents get 6 votes each in suburban NY election.  [Arthur] Furano cast multiple votes on the instructions of a federal judge and the U.S. Department of Justice as part of a new election system crafted to help boost Hispanic representation.

The Editor says...
Why stop at six votes?  Why not give a dozen votes to everyone who is not (for example) a white male?  How about allowing ten votes per Democrat, and one vote per Republican?  All in the interest of fairness, of course.

Goodbye to One Man, One Vote.  If you thought that "one man, one vote" reflected the full flowering of representative democracy, think again.  In the village of Port Chester, N.Y., just a few towns north of my locality in Westchester County, there is a new system.  It's "one (minority) man, six votes" — brought to us courtesy of the U.S. Department of Injustice and a lunkhead of a federal judge named Stephen Robinson.

How Is Rigging Elections Fair to Immigrants?  A Nebraska town wants renters to prove they are in the country legally, and Port Chester, N.Y., was forced to swallow a goofy voting scheme that makes sense only if the aim is to erase the distinction between legal and illegal immigrants.  Under the plan, imposed by a federal judge in response to a 2006 Justice Department civil-rights suit, each voter in the board of trustees election got six votes.  A voter could give all six votes to one candidate, or divide them among several.

Vote system that elected NY Hispanic could expand.  The court-ordered election that allowed residents of one New York town to flip the lever six times for one candidate — and produced a Hispanic winner — could expand to other towns where minorities complain their voices aren't being heard.

More about judicial activism.

As voters head to polls, reports of problems start pouring in.  An unexpected glitch almost caused one central Pennsylvania voter to cast his ballot for the wrong candidate, highlighting concerns about voter fraud in a number of states on an already tense Election Day.  The Election Protection coalition, for instance, has reported ballot scanning problems in Ohio in Cleveland, Dayton, and Toledo.

Cuomo Signs Order Allowing Hurricane Victims To Vote Anywhere.  With Election Day turmoil expected because of the ongoing problems caused by Superstorm Sandy, Gov. Cuomo has signed an executive order allowing displaced voters to cast ballots at any polling site.  A person would go to a polling place, sign an affidavit and fill out a ballot anonymously, Cuomo said.  The vote will count for the presidential race or the U.S. Senate race.

The Editor says...
The New York governor has made it possible for everybody to vote at every polling location.  And I suspect many ballot-stuffing activists will take advantage of this breakdown in the system.  Photo ID requirements are the best way to prevent the abuse of an ad hoc system like this.

Philly Activist Group Shreds GOP Voter Registrations.  The Community Voters Project is a "non-partisan" lefty organization whose mission is to register people to vote, with a particular emphasis on minorities.  In the 2008 election, they had offices in 10 states and registered around 300,000 minority voters.  So far, so good.  This year, however, it seems they aren't registering everyone who wants to vote.  Outside a CVP office in Philadelphia, for example, they shredded and threw away numerous registration forms.  A number of these were for people trying to register as a Republican.

True the Vote: Keeping Our Elections Free and Clean.  During the 2008 election cycle, Catherine Engelbrecht volunteered at the polls in Harris County, the second largest voting block in Texas.  She noticed that although she was there with a small group of people to observe, Harris County had a poll watcher shortage of at least 50 percent.  There weren't enough people observing the election process to prevent fraud.  Shortly after her experiences at the polls, Harris County authorities found 23,000 invalid voter registration forms that had been submitted by an ACORN operative.

Voter Fraud Hotline Set Up For Election Day.  Voter integrity group True the Vote has set up an election integrity hotline for Election Day 2012 in order to help citizens document illegal activity inside and outside of polling places.

Republicans take no chances on election fraud.  On the eve of the election, the Mitt Romney campaign and other groups have bolstered their anti-fraud measures in several key states by dispatching a battery of attorneys and election observers to ensure that they are not shortchanged from any legitimate votes on November 6.  "We are going to win unless the Democrats steal it from us.  That's what we are going to be on guard for Tuesday," one Republican operative told Human Events.

Group of Veterans, Former SEALs Planning to Watch Polls For Possible Voter Intimidation.  Four years ago, Fox News caught two members of the New Black Panther Party on tape outside a Philadelphia polling place.  They appeared as though they were trying to intimidate voters.  A retired Navy captain, Ben Brink, is trying to make sure nothing like that happens tomorrow.

NJ residents displaced by storm can vote by email.  New Jersey will allow residents displaced by Superstorm Sandy to vote by email or fax.

The Editor says...
This system is tailor-made for fraud:  Make up your own ballot, put Mickey Mouse's name on it, and fax it in.  Change the name and send it in again.  Repeat the process until the county's fax machine stops answering.  Voting by email would be even easier to automate.  I expect to see a voter turnout of at least 600%.  Maybe this will be the last straw, and we can finally get the Congress to outlaw early voting, absentee voting, last-minute changes in the law due to weather, and voting by the feeble-minded "assisted" by left-wing activists.

GOP worries about Ohio voting mischief among students.  The students have been courted by the candidates at rallies and, in the case of the Obama campaign, offered bus rides to early voting centers, complete with pizza.  Giving rides to voters is legal, but offering something of value in trade for a vote is not, and the Republican Party has challenged the pizza practice by filing a complaint with the Franklin County Board of Elections.

Election Suits Start Early With Florida, Ohio Challenges.  Florida Democrats sought to extend early voting hours after the state's Republican governor rejected a request to do so while voter advocates in Ohio sought clarification on the counting of provisional ballots following an order by Republican officials there.

Trumka Promises More than 2,000 Union 'Poll Monitors' in Battleground States.  Setting the scene for possible post-election legal challenges, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said his unions plan to deploy 2,000 "poll monitors" who will be linked with lawyers around the country as a way to prevent "voter suppression" in states such as Ohio.

Claims increase of machines switching votes in Ohio, other battlegrounds.  Imagine going to vote for your presidential candidate and pushing the button on a touch-screen voting machine — but the "X" marks his opponent instead.  That is what some voters in Nevada, North Carolina, Texas and Ohio have reported.  Fox News has received several complaints from voters who say they voted on touch-screen voting machines — only when they tried to select Mitt Romney, the machine indicated they had chosen President Obama.

Pennsylvania Rep: 'Illegal' for United Nations and DOJ poll watchers to 'step a foot' in our precincts.  Pennsylvania Republican Rep. Daryl Metcalfe told The Daily Caller that it is illegal for any United Nations poll watcher or Department of Justice election monitor to enter any polling precinct in his state.  Metcalfe, the House State Government Committee majority chairman, said the only reason these individuals would want to observe his state's election is to "intimidate" certified poll workers.  He threatened to refer such poll watchers for prosecution.

'Dozens' of Colorado Romney Voters Claim Machines Changed Votes to Obama.  Dozens of voters in Pueblo County, Colorado have claimed electronic voting machines have changed their votes for Mitt Romney to votes for President Barack Obama.  The Pueblo County Republican Party has asked the Colorado Secretary of State's office to investigate the matter.

Voter fraud is no myth — it's more common than you think.  Our chaotic voter registration rolls make it too easy to commit voter fraud.  A February study by the non-partisan Pew Center on the States found one in eight voter registrations were invalid or contained major errors.  Some 2.8 million people were registered in two or more states, and 1.8 million registered voters are dead.  That's an open invitation to fraud and mischief.

Vote Count 'Nightmare' Possible in Ohio.  For the first time in Ohio's history, absentee ballot applications were automatically mailed out to nearly all (6.9 million of the 7.8 million) registered voters in the state regardless of whether or not the voter requested one.

NAACP Takes Over Houston Polling Station, Advocates for President Obama.  According to Eve Rockford, a poll watcher trained by voter integrity group True the Vote, three NAACP members showed up to the 139 precinct location with 50 cases of bottled water and began handing bottles out to people standing in line.  While wearing NAACP labeled clothing, members were "stirring the crowd" and talking to voters about flying to Ohio to promote President Barack Obama. [...] "The NAACP basically ran this poll location and the judges did nothing about it," Rockford said.

'Hitler' appears on Ohio voter registration form.  Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and the starting lineup of the Dallas Cowboys, including Quarterback Tony Romo, were names that ACORN workers attempted to register to vote during the 2008 presidential election.  The ensuing outrage sparked a voter registration fraud scandal that helped lead to the activist group's demise, and put new focus on the integrity of third-party voter registration efforts during Presidential elections.

Active service members upset over removal from voting rolls.  Local service members who have spent years serving the country are discovering this fall that they aren't allowed to vote in the presidential election.  Valrico [Florida] resident and Navy Captain Peter Kehrig, who has been abroad for five years tells [WTSP] he feels cheated by a system that removed him from the rolls.

FieldWorks, SEIU, AFL-CIO, Colorado Civic Engagement Roundtable, and Colorado's ACORN Ground Game.  A coalition of unions has coordinated with FieldWorks, a Washington-based consulting firm, to provide ground support for President Obama and liberal Colorado candidates.  The Service Employees International Union (SEIU), AFL-CIO and the Colorado Civic Engagement Roundtable have retained FieldWorks, an organization with many similarities to the now-defunct Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), according to documents uncovered by Media Trackers.

Voter Fraud Charges Begin in Ohio.  Possible fraudulent voter registrations are being discovered in Ohio and officials fear that this may be a groundswell of thousands more to come.  "It's certainly not a joke," said Alex Triantafilou, a member of the elections board and chairman of the county's Republican Party.  "In Ohio, that kind of activity is a felony.  Any person who would engage in that kind of conduct with something as serious to our democracy as voting, is highly irresponsible and potentially criminal."

Who Is Bolat Bersebayev and Why Is He Monitoring Our Elections?  Who is Bolat Bersebayev of Kazakhstan and why is he "monitoring" our polling places in Indianapolis, Indiana and Lansing Michigan?  And who is Elchin Musaeyev of Azerbaijan, and why has he been tasked with monitoring the November 6 elections in Boston, Massachusetts, and Concord, New Hampshire?  Neither Kazakhstan nor Azerbaijan are notable as paragons of electoral virtue.  Nor are they models of liberty, honesty, and decency.  The facts show quite the opposite.

Iowa is second state to forbid international observers at elections.  Iowa on Wednesday [10/31/2012] became the second state to warn international election observers to stay away from its polling sites or face arrest, following Texas.

Secretary of state: Voting monitors face arrest in Iowa.  Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz warned a group of international voting monitors that they face arrest if they monitor polling locations in Iowa next week.  "My office met with two delegation representatives last week to discuss Iowa's election process, and it was explained to them that they are not permitted at the polls," Schultz said in a statement released Tuesday.  "Iowa law is very specific about who is permitted at polling places, and there is no exception for members of this group."

Ohio says 'no' to international observers in polling places.  International observers may be in the United States on Election Day, but they will not be inside Ohio polling places, and the organization says it will honor state law.  Earlier this week, Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted announced that international observers, affiliated with the United Nations, would not be allowed in Ohio polling centers, citing state laws that limit who is present in polling places on Election Day.

Sacramento Veteran Pollster Fired Over Protest Against U.N. Observers.  A poll worker is out of a job, and she says it's all because of an email she sent her supervisor.  The woman says she was concerned about poll inspectors coming to Sacramento for Tuesday's election.  Shannon Lewis has been a poll worker in Sacramento for 15 years.  She said she sent that email and was fired 10 minutes later.

Voting machine swaps Obama for Romney.  Joan Stevens was one of several early voters at the polls on Monday [10/29/2012].  But when Stevens tried to cast her ballot for president, she noticed a problem.  Upon selecting "Mitt Romney" on the electronic touch screen, Barack Obama's name lit up.  It took Stevens three tries before her selection was accurately recorded.

Can Democrat-leaning Voting Machines Win Election for Obama?  Imagine you go to the polls and choose Mitt Romney on an electronic machine, but your vote comes up Barack Obama.  So you re-enter your choice, but the president's name still stubbornly appears.  Then a third try.  Ditto.  Innocent malfunction... or something else?  Whatever the case, this has already happened to voters in states such as Nevada, Ohio, Kansas, North Carolina, Missouri, and Colorado — four of which are swing states.

Voter Fraud? Reports of Voting Machines Casting Ballots for the Wrong Candidate.  Fox News senior correspondent Eric Shawn [...] reports that several voters across the country have been experiencing similar issues with the touch screens.  In Nevada, North Carolina and Ohio people have said that when they vote for their candidate, another candidate's name appears.

Evidence of voter fraud exposes need for Election Day vigilance.  In Philadelphia, there are precincts where voter turnout surpasses 100 percent of those registered there.  In North Carolina, some early voters noted that their touch-screen ballots for Mitt Romney were defaulting to Barack Obama.  Local election officials said the problematic machine needed "calibration."  However, this illustrates the frightening potential for deliberate fraud in electronic and computer-based voting.

Researchers break open voting machines in test of security.  Using a straightened paper clip, Jon Warner needed fewer than 10 seconds to pop a crucial component out of the touch-screen voting machine.  The simple manuever exposed a green circuit board  — opening the machine to electronic sabotage that could steal or alter votes cast on it, said Warner, a security researcher at Argonne National Laboratory near suburban Lemont.

Another election 'oops'.  You can tell when it's voting time in Florida. [...] Last week the ghost of the hanging chad returned when election workers announced that some 27,000 absentee ballots cast in Palm Beach County cannot be digitally scanned because of a design flaw.  Election workers reportedly were manually duplicating the bad ballots onto good ballots.

The Editor says...
You would think that the ballots and scanners would have been tested (and malfunctions discovered) more than a week before the election. And why isn't the hardware standardized, so that all 50 states use a reliable system, or one of several such systems?

Early Voting Is Getting Ridiculous.  Imagine a rule in your family which says you can open your Christmas gift any time from November 20 to December 25.  Or, how about being told you can open your birthday present any time from 35 days before your birthday until your birthday.  It's more than kind of ridiculous on several levels.  First and foremost, the actual day of importance is extremely diminished, and besides, one's needs on Christmas or their birthday may be different than they were up-to-35 days before the date arrived.

Is voter fraud being committed in Ohio?  Two volunteer poll workers at an Ohio voting station told Human Events that they observed van loads of Ohio residents born in Somalia — the state is home to the second-largest Somali population in the United States — being driven to the voting station and guided by Democratic interpreters on the voting process.  No Republican interpreters were present, according to these volunteers.

Feds to monitor early voting in 2 Texas counties.  The U.S. Justice Department says it will monitor portions of the early voting period for the Nov. 6 general election in Dallas and Harris counties to ensure compliance with the Voting Rights Act.

Some early NC voters complain their ballot cast for Romney resulted in a vote for Obama.  Several early voters in Guilford County, NC hoping to cast a ballot for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney had an unwelcome surprise Monday [10/22/2012] when their votes showed up as a vote for President Barack Obama.

Florida Officials Investigate Fake Voter Eligibility Letters.  It's a sign that Election Day is getting closer:  increasing reports of efforts to intimidate or mislead voters.  Florida officials say they're now investigating fake letters that have been sent to voters in at least 20 counties questioning their citizenship and eligibility to vote. [...] Chris Cate, a spokesman for the Florida Department of State, says most of the letters appear to be going to Republicans.

A disturbing effort to influence the election.  Suspicious letters questioning voters' legal status and citizenship began arriving in Florida over the past four days with a postmark from Seattle, Wash., accompanying a $.45 stamp. [...] Several things should strike prospective voters' attention right away:  First, the elections supervisor would not use a mailing house from out of state.  They would not use stamps.  And all official correspondences would have the Hillsborough supervisor's seal or the seal from individual county offices.  Much has been made of efforts to suppress the vote in recent months, but this effort is most disturbing.

Ugly: Liberals Turn to Dirty Tricks, Violence as Election Approaches.  Florida Democrats have spent quite a lot of energy complaining about the new voter ID law in the Sunshine State, predictably whining about illusory "voter suppression" at every step.  Here's a cut-and-dried instance of verifiable, targeted, partisan voter suppression.  Will Democrats notice or care?

Mental Hospital Voter Sign-Up Questioned.  Cherry Hospital, a state-run adult inpatient psychiatric facility in Goldsboro, welcomed a federally funded nonprofit organization to conduct a voter registration drive of mental patients, likely a violation of state law.

The undead vote in droves for Obama in N.C.  An amazing 2,374 civic-minded seniors between the ages of 94 and 100 have already voted in North Carolina.  Apparently, some of them are so civic-minded that they voted more than once.

Pat Moran Relied on Civil Rights Lawyers for Voter Fraud.  Now we know why civil rights groups like the NAACP, ACLU, and the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights are so upset about election integrity groups like True the Vote monitoring the polls on November 6.  Pat Moran gave us a clue yesterday [10/24/2012].  Moran revealed on James O'Keefe's undercover video why these groups have been so dishonest, ugly, and desperate to smear True the Vote and keep them out of the polls.  Simply, the "election protection" operation of these civil rights groups was seen, at least to Moran, as the final step in committing voter fraud.

Congressman Jim Moran's son caught on tape teaching vote fraud techniques.  A new undercover video from James O'Keefe and Project Veritas shows Pat Moran, son of longtime incumbent congressman Jim Moran (D-VA) and field director for his father's re-election campaign, instructing a supporter in how to use fraudulent documents to cast a hundred illegal votes.

New Undercover Video: Did Congressman's Son Commit Voter Fraud?  James O'Keefe has struck again. [...] O'Keefe may be controversial in some circles and his tactics have been criticized by some, but you can't argue with the fact that he gets people's attention.  With the liberal mainstream media lacking when it comes to true investigative journalism, these type of videos will become the norm sooner rather than later.

Congressman's son resigns after voter fraud video.  The field director for Virginia Democratic Rep. Jim Moran — his son Patrick Moran — has resigned after being secretly recorded seemingly advising a conservative journalist masquerading as a supporter that utility bills could be used to aid in voter fraud.

Rep. Moran's son caught on tape, quits staff.  Rep. James P. Moran's son Patrick resigned from his father's campaign after being caught on camera earlier this month appearing to give advice on how to commit voter fraud to a conservative video journalist.  Project Veritas, the group headed by conservative activist James O'Keefe, circulated the video Wednesday.  Patrick Moran, who had been serving as field director for his father, a Virginia Democrat, said in a statement that he never took the person videotaping him seriously and was simply humoring him.

Rep. Moran's son resigns from father's campaign amid voter fraud scandal.  Patrick Moran, the son of Virginia Rep. Jim Moran (D-Va.) and the field director for his father's reelection bid, resigned abruptly Wednesday after a video linked him to voter fraud.

Dem Caught Red-Handed Promoting Election Fraud.  A high-ranking official with Congressman Jim Moran's re-election campaign was recently caught on video encouraging an undercover reporter to forge documents in order to cast phony ballots in the upcoming Virginia election.  The incident is particularly compromising for Congressman Moran, as he has been a vocal opponent of the state's voter ID law, which is designed to protect against voter fraud.  More hypocritically, Moran had been previously caught on film demanding that constituents show their IDs at a local town hall meeting.

Texas attorney general threatens to arrest monitors observing US election.  The Texas attorney general, Greg Abbott, has threatened to arrest international election monitors invited by liberal groups to observe the conduct of next month's presidential vote in states accused of attempting to disenfranchise minorities.  Abbott has written to the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe warning that its monitors have no right to monitor the vote even though they have observed previous US elections.

International monitors at US polling spots draw criticism from voter fraud groups.  United Nations-affiliated election monitors from Europe and central Asia will be at polling places around the U.S. looking for voter suppression activities by conservative groups, a concern raised by civil rights groups during a meeting this week.  The intervention has drawn criticism from a prominent conservative-leaning group combating election fraud.

Texas threatens prosecution against international poll watchers.  Texas officials this week launched a prickly and very public dispute with the Organization for Security and Co-Operation in Europe, which plans to send monitors to polling sites across the U.S. on Election Day.  The group has done this since 2002 — but this year, Texas took exception to what officials perceived as a challenge to the latest wave of voter ID laws.  Attorney General Greg Abbott is now threatening to prosecute any observer who breaks state law by getting too close to any polling site.

State Dept: Texas can't arrest international election observers.  International election observers planning to visit Texas polling places have "full immunity" from being arrested in the United States, the State Department said when discussing a letter from the Texas Attorney General.  "I'm not going to get into any kind of hypothetical situations or predict where this is going to go other than to say we have every expectation that this will be worked out and to state the fact, which is that under U.S. law they are eligible for immunities," said State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer Encourages Voter Fraud.  The Cleveland Plain Dealer, otherwise known as the Obama Rag, is now tacitly encouraging voters to commit voter fraud.

AFL-CIO, Florida Democratic Party Coordinate Voter Intimidation Efforts.  Documents detailing multiple legal threats from the AFL-CIO and Florida Democratic Party operatives indicate a new effort to keep citizens from acting as election observers and assisting in the maintenance of their local voter rolls.  Two Florida voters were in receipt of a letter last week threatening legal action should they "frivolously" challenge voter registration records, or as election workers in the polls.

Obama Campaign Workers Caught in Election Fraud Scandal.  Project Veritas, the group headed by James O'Keefe and known for undercover video operations, has released a new investigation that exposes Obama campaign workers, including a Regional Field Director at Organizing for America (OFA), engaged in election fraud.  Announcing the release, James O'Keefe said, "These individuals showed no concern whatsoever when our investigators declared their intention to vote multiple times for President Obama.  In fact, they were happy to help, even going so far as to provide the forms necessary to commit the fraud and offering advice on how to avoid getting caught."

DNC Fires One of the Staffers in O'Keefe Voter Fraud Video.  There's a job opening in Houston today.  The successful applicant must: Be liberal.  Not too concerned about truth.  See every single issue as either political or an attack on your lady parts (whether you actually have said lady parts or not).  No private sector experience required, because you wouldn't have built your business anyway.  Must be fanatically devoted to Barack Obama.

Essex County clerk admitted fraud and agreed to resign, but never did.  Rocio Rivera pleaded guilty to voter fraud last year when she admitted to fraudulently submitting absentee ballots in an effort to elect Teresa Ruiz to the state Senate for Essex County in 2007.  As part of a plea deal, Rivera agreed to resign from her job as a clerk in the Essex County Sheriff's Office.  She never did.

ACLU Sues to Stop Citizenship Question on Michigan Ballots.  Only citizens of the United States can legally vote in federal elections.  So Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson added a yes/no question on ballot applications that asks:  "Are you a United States citizen?"  According to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Michigan, this simple requirement is "an election day disaster in the making."  So the ACLU did what it usually does, which is to sue.

9,000 Corpses on Dallas County Election Rolls.  Beating Obama won't be enough; he needs to be beaten by a wide enough margin to overcome the massive voter fraud that we have been able to see coming years in advance.

Voter registration problems widening in Florida.  The Republican Party of Florida is filing an election fraud complaint against a vendor suspected of submitting questionable voter registration forms.

Voter watchdog says it's uncovered absentee ballot fraud in Florida, New York.  A national voter fraud watchdog group announced Tuesday [9/25/2012] that it has uncovered at least 31 cases of absentee ballot fraud in New York and Florida — a finding the group claims is "just the tip of the iceberg."  True the Vote, a group that focuses on voter fraud, said it turned over 31 cases to state and federal election authorities in which individuals cast their votes in two states in the same federal election — which is a felony.

Sen. Boxer To Tea Party: "Intimidating Voters Is A Federal Offense".  "I know everyone's paying attention, I know the Obama campaign is ready to act on this.  But I realized that there are two important federal laws, the Voting Rights Act, passed in the 60s, and Voter Registration Act passed in the 90s, that have criminal and civil penalties for people who try to intimidate a voter.  And I wanted to make sure that the Justice Department is moving on these cases. [...]" Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-California) told MSNBC's Ed Schultz on Friday [9/28/2012].

Tell it to the Black Panthers, Senator.

The Sure Cure for Voter Fraud.  There is one sure cure, which sounds draconian and maybe even weird, but which is simple, clear, fair and pure.  We ought to [...] restore the public ballot.  The way it should happen is that when we cast a ballot in an election, we do it in the open, with a photo taken and mailing address recorded at the time our vote is cast.  The secret ballot was an Australian, not an American, creation, and the rationale was that this way, employers and landlords could not punish those who voted against the interests of the rich.  It has not worked, and it no longer makes sense for several reasons.

The New York Times and New Black Panthers Protect Election Lawbreakers.  Once upon a time in America, if a group of citizen volunteers set out to help election officials detect problems with the voter rolls, they would have been praised.  If a group of citizen volunteers had detected scores of dead people on the voter rolls they would have received broad accolades from all corners of America.  Once upon a time in America, we esteemed law abiding citizens who helped law enforcement detect law breakers — especially when it comes to the sanctity of elections.  But this isn't the America we used to know.

An activist judge makes it easier for dead people to vote.
Texas Court Halts State Attempt to Purge Voters as Dead.  Texas officials were temporarily barred by a state judge from ordering county election officials to purge presumably dead voters from registration rolls because the initiative may violate the election code.  The ruling came in a lawsuit filed yesterday by four voters who were told they would be purged from voter-registration lists as deceased.  They asked state court Judge Tim Sulak in Austin to stop the state from striking about 77,000 names, arguing the plan violates state and federal law.

Question: Are We That Stupid?  Besides the lapdog media shilling for the Democrats, the other mechanism in place is voter fraud.  A Maryland Democrat, Wendy Rosen, had to quit her race because she was accused by her own party of voter fraud in the past.  A new report released in February found that 1.5 million dead people are currently registered to vote but attempts by states to update their rolls are being met by resistance by the Justice Department under the pretense that such activity would disenfranchise minority votes.

Obama Campaign Calls Ohio's Early-Voting Laws Burdensome.  President Barack Obama's campaign organization asked a U.S. appeals court to uphold a lower-court ruling that found Ohio's early-voting laws unconstitutional.

Hawaii County police open 2010 voter fraud investigation.  Police declined to give details, but the Hawaii County Clerk's Office said in July that an audit of the county's voter rolls showed four people voted twice in 2010 elections and that between 50 and 60 people were registered more than once.

County says state erred with lists of 'dead' voters.  The Harris County Attorney's office on Tuesday defended Tax Assessor-Collector Don Sumners' decision not to purge presumed-dead voters from the rolls until after the November election, and accused the secretary of state's office of not following the law in providing a list of 9,000 such voters to the county.  About 72,800 voters statewide have received or will receive letters telling them records suggest they may be dead and that they must act within 30 days to stay on the rolls.  The list was generated by the secretary of state using the Social Security Administration's master death file, as outlined in a new state law.

Strictly a local problem?  A candidate for Congress drops out the race because of a scandal and the story goes no further than the local section of the Washington Post.  I suppose it's an improvement that the Democrat is labeled as such in both the headline and the lead paragraph but notice this.  Her wrongdoing is something the media insists is not a real problem — vote fraud.

Candidate Rosen out after voter fraud allegations.  The Democratic candidate scheduled to challenge Congressman Andy Harris in November's election was forced to resign Monday [9/10/2012] amid allegations of voter fraud.  Wendy Rosen was asked to step down as the 1st Congressional District candidate by the Maryland Democratic Party after members allegedly found evidence Rosen registered and voted in more than one state during past elections.

Maryland Democrat quits congressional race amid vote fraud allegations.  A Maryland Democratic candidate quit her congressional race Monday after her own party told state officials that she had committed fraud by voting in both Maryland and Florida in recent elections.

Maryland Democrat Quits Amid Revelations That She Voted in Two States.  Remember when Eric Holder dismissed video evidence of how easy it was to perpetrate voter fraud by calling it 'manufactured'?  A Maryland Democrat was recently revealed to have manufactured the ability to vote in two separate states — Maryland and Florida.  That is illegal.  It is fraud.  And she should be charged.

Mississippi NAACP Official Convicted for Casting Deceased's Absentee Ballots.  A Mississippi NAACP executive is in jail after being convicted of voter fraud for fraudulently casting absentee ballots, including for four dead people.  Lessadolla Sowers, who is a member of the Tunica County NAACP Executive Committee, was convicted and sentenced in April for what a judge said were crimes that cut "against the fabric of our free society."

Arkansas lawmaker pleads guilty to election charge.  A Democratic state legislator from east Arkansas, his father and two campaign workers pleaded guilty Wednesday to conspiracy to commit election fraud after federal prosecutors said they bribed absentee voters and destroyed ballots in a special election last year.

Democrat Election Fraud in Arkansas is Tip of the Iceberg.  Arkansas State Representative Hudson Hallum, a Democrat, pleaded guilty Wednesday [9/5/2012] of conspiring to commit election fraud with his dad, a city councilman and a cop.  Hallum had won a seat in Arkansas' 54th district as a result of a special election in May of last year.  The seat was vacated because Fred Smith, the representative that held it previously (another Democrat), was convicted of theft.  Hallum was investigated amid election fraud accusations by Hallum's opponent Kim Felker.

True the Vote and Judicial Watch Sue State of Ohio over Mismanaged Voter Rolls.  True The Vote and Judicial Watch initially noticed irregularities in data that demonstrated three counties (Auglaize, Wood, and Morrow) claiming over 100 percent voter registration compared to living, eligible voting age population.  Both Auglaize and Wood Counties claimed over 105 percent voter registration.

Group says it found 30,000 dead North Carolinians registered to vote.  A Raleigh-based group devoted to reducing the potential for voter fraud presented the N.C. Board of Elections on Friday [8/31/2012] with a list of nearly 30,000 names of dead people statewide who are still registered to vote.  The Voter Integrity Project compiled the list after obtaining death records from the state Department of Public Health from 2002 to March 31 and comparing them to the voter rolls.

Just in Time for the DNC: 30,000 Dead North Carolinians Registered to Vote.  By the end of the week it'll probably be up to at least 50,000.  The desperate Empty Chair is going to need every one of them.

This article includes a very informative graph.
Voter Fraud and the Collapse of Democrat Registration in Florida.  Moonbats are squealing like stuck pigs because new Democrat voter registration in Florida has collapsed — and they blame it on safeguards against fraud. [...] If it indicates how large a percentage of the Democrat vote has been illegitimate, the long-suffering silent majority is a much larger majority than anyone but our liberal rulers knew.

Voter Fraud: Hard to Identify.  Voter fraud has become a divisive political-campaign issue and given rise to proposals for new voter-identification legislation in 14 states this year.  A Texas law passed last year was struck down by federal judges Thursday [8/30/2012] for failing to prove it wouldn't unfairly affect poor and minority voters.  Some advocates for voter-ID laws point to findings that, in some jurisdictions, registration lists include a large proportion of names that don't belong — sometimes as high as 3%.

The Editor says...
I have just one question for the activist judge:  How is it possible to prove something "unfair" won't happen to anybody?

Where are Milwaukee's "missing" black voters?  Are 60% of Milwaukee's black voters from 2008 missing?  That's what a study from the New Organizing Institute claims, which estimates that as many as 160,000 black voters in the city from the last presidential election can no longer be found. [...] Simply put, this is an absurd conclusion to reach.  It starts with an assumption that the "voter file" used in this search was accurate, both in identifying African-American voters and in identifying legitimate registrations.  It ends with the assumption that a voter who no longer lives in the same place in 2012 that he or she did in 2008 is somehow "missing."

Grave digging in the voter rolls.  [Scroll down]  The upshot of this, as [Glenn] Reynolds correctly notes, is that many areas have voter rolls which are stuffed full of names of people ineligible or incapable of voting.  Even if you ignore the obvious invitation for mischief which this extends, you could at least be put off by the fact that these names falsely force the turnout percentages downward in a depressing fashion.  But the question remains, how do we establish a tracking system for those who move or die, do so in a legal, implementable fashion, and then tie it into the official voter registration system?

Federal judge orders Ohio to keep its early balloting in place.  A federal judge has ordered the battleground state of Ohio to open its polling places on the weekend and Monday prior to the Nov. 6 election, restoring the voting rules that were in effect in 2008, when more than 93,000 early ballots were cast.  The decision is a significant victory for the Obama campaign, which hopes for another large turnout in a state that is seen as crucial to both Republicans and Democrats.

Alabama state GOP leaders: 'Voter fraud alive and well'.  Top lawmakers in the Alabama Legislature said Thursday [8/30/2012] that more people voting in the Uniontown municipal election than there are voting age people is a prime example of why the state needs to fight voter fraud.  House Speaker Mike Hubbard, Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh and Senate Majority Leader Jabo Waggoner said the voting pattern in Uniontown, with a population of 1,775 according to the latest census, was suspicious.  The town has 2,587 registered voters, according to a report in the Tuscaloosa News.  About 125 percent of the voting age population in the town voted on Tuesday and 45 percent of those who voted did so through an absentee ballot, although the state average for voting absentee is 3 percent to 5 percent, according to the News report.

Federal judge says Ohio must count disputed votes.  A federal judge ruled Monday [8/28/2012] that Ohio must count improperly cast ballots this fall if the mistake is caused by an election worker rather than the voter, a small but potentially significant issue in an important presidential battleground state.  The decision could mean that thousands of votes that otherwise would have been rejected — most of them cast in urban areas where Democrats are concentrated — will have to be counted.

WaPo Sees Vast White-wing Conspiracy in Tea Party Groups Exercising Legal Right to Poll-watch.  If you're a conservative poll watcher on Election Day, you're probably a racist!  That's essentially the charge leveled in an August 25 Washington Post-published article by AJ Vicens and Natasha Kahn of the News21 Carnegie-Knight Initiative. [...] What is so evil about poll watching?  It's perfectly legal and it's designed to insure confidence in our electoral process.  For example, poll watchers could play a crucial role in preventing and combating the sort of voter intimidation that occurred in Pennsylvania during the 2008 election at the behest of the Black Panther Party.

Voter ID: A Good Idea.  Do you honestly know any grannies who can't prove who they are with an ID anyway?  If you do, I bet they don't have the right to vote in this country either.  Of course, there's a study being mentioned via the media which claims that fraudulent voting isn't a problem in this country anyway.  What they aren't broadcasting is the obvious:  if a fraudulent vote is cast illegally-well, it doesn't get caught!  Or maybe people are supposed to believe that the survey-takers ask people as an exit poll:  "Excuse me.  Did you vote honestly?"  Give me a break!  There is no study that can positively detect the amount of voter fraud in this country.  And another thing, anyone who believes voter fraud doesn't exist has never been to Chicago on Election Day.

Will Obama Keep Power 'by Any Means Necessary'?  [Scroll down]  On June 15, 2012, Obama bypassed Congress and issued de facto amnesty to millions of illegal aliens.  Suddenly, whole new vistas of voter fraud opened up to the Democrats.  Admittedly, they've got to ramp up quickly for November, but this gang should prove up to the challenge.  Helping matters along, Holder is busy suing states that require photo ID to vote and attempting to disenfranchise the military.  Together, these well-coordinated efforts should provide Obama with the means to pull off staggering amounts of voter fraud.

Serial Fraud Kept Congressman in Office.  This month, four staffers for former Michigan congressman Thad McCotter were indicted for forging signatures on petitions to place him on the ballot.  McCotter resigned from Congress after evidence surfaced that his district office had been run like a political version of Animal House.  Now, the Detroit Free Press reports that McCotter, Inc. had apparently been forging petitions for years, and he didn't actually qualify for the ballot in at least the 2008, 2010, and 2012 elections.

True the Vote Summits.  The fantastic organization True the Vote, dedicated to ensuring that our elections are free of fraud, is having a series of state "summits" which are tremendously important for the cause of honest elections.

Iowa's Secretary of State says his office has identified 1,000 registered voters who may not be U.S. citizens.
Top Dem to secretary of state: Abandon scheme.  A top Senate Democrat criticized Iowa's secretary of state Tuesday [8/14/2012] for "undermining" the voting rights of Iowans by enacting emergency rules to purge foreign nationals from the state's voter registration list and make it easier to file allegations of voter fraud.

10,000 Dead Virginia Voters.  Virginia's initial sweep has yielded 10,000 dead voters who were never before removed from the rolls.  These zombies won't be able to vote, through a criminal impersonator of course, in the 2012 presidential election.  Elected and appointed officials in Virgina deserve the praise of Virginia voters who don't want their vote diluted in November.

Yes, vote fraud's real.  In an election that promises to be every bit as close as Bush v. Gore in 2000, each side is going to need every vote it can get.  And one way, historically, that Democrats have been able to swing close elections is through fraud.

Hull man faces charges of voter registration fraud.  Authorities arrested a Hull [Georgia] convenience store owner Wednesday [8/8/2012] on two felony counts of fraudulently altering voter registration cards in Madison County.  Mohammad Shafiq, 43, of Hidden Falls Drive, Hull, is charged with altering two voter registration cards by providing two residents with fraudulent addresses, according to the warrants issued in Madison County Magistrate's Court.

Welfare voter push has GOP crying foul.  The state has mailed out voter registration letters to nearly 500,000 welfare recipients, in a push sparked by a group led by former ACORN bigwigs that critics say is a naked bid to boost Democrats at the polls in November.

Only Massachusetts sent out voter registrations after lawsuit.  Massachusetts is the only state that has agreed to send mass mailings to register welfare recipients to vote, following a series of state lawsuits brought by the liberal group Demos, which is chaired by the daughter of Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren.  Republicans say the mass mailings indicate that Massachusetts went above and beyond what was necessary to turn out likely Democratic voters for the November election.

Virginia won't further probe charges of illegal voter registration.  Virginia election officials decided Monday to not take action against a D.C. group that sent voter registration cards to dead people, children and pets and prompted calls for an investigation from Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.  The Virginia Board of Elections said it was already working with the Voter Participation Center to improve the group's registration practices so ineligible voters would not be targeted in the future.

160 Counties Have More Registered To Vote Than Eligible Voters.  Surely, some of this can be explained away as simple errors, but the main question is "how much is intentional?"  How many are dead, pets, felons, illegals, and others not eligible to vote?  How many are duplicate registrations?

Election Watchdog: 160 Counties Have More Registered Voters Than are Actually Eligible to Vote.  A nonpartisan election integrity group has sent legal notices to 160 counties across the U.S. that it says have more voters on its registration rolls than actual live, eligible voters — and thus represent potential hotbeds for election fraud, the organization told TheBlaze exclusively.  The Houston-based True the Vote said the counties may be in violation of Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act, which mandates that election officials maintain clean voter rolls by removing people who have died, moved away or are no longer eligible to vote.  True the Vote is demanding each of the counties show proof of compliance or they'll bring civil suit.

Miami-Dade absentee ballot-fraud probe expands.  Investigators looking into possible vote fraud in Hialeah are now examining at least 31 absentee ballots collected by a suspected ballot broker in two separate instances last week, according to sources familiar with the expanding probe.  Last week, Miami-Dade detectives questioned a Hialeah woman named Daisy Cabrera, who was found in possession of at least a dozen absentee ballots belonging to other voters.  Detectives have also learned of another instance in which Cabrera collected ballots from voters, the sources said.

The Left Continues To Ignore Rampant Voter ID Fraud, Says Photo ID Laws Are Racist.  There is an implied notion here that individuals, specifically minorities, are not smart enough to figure out how to obtain proper identification.  Liberals are notoriously known for claiming to be the champions of minority rights and equality, while invoking that the federal government must be the spokesperson for them because they are simply incapable of thinking on their own.  What exactly is preventing young people and minorities from filling out forms needed to acquire a photo ID?

Voter-fraud watch: Inside Miami-Dade's shady world of ballot-brokering 'boleteros'.  For an elderly political junky who needs money on the side, it's the perfect job with an exotic-sounding name:  Boletero.  It literally means "balloteer," but the post carries the Spanish nickname in deference to the dozens — if not scores — of paid small-time operatives who find ways to turn out or collect absentee mail-in votes in Miami-Dade.

Mississippi NAACP leader sent to prison for 10 counts of voter fraud.  While NAACP President Benjamin Jealous lashed out at new state laws requiring photo ID for voting, an NAACP executive sits in prison, sentenced for carrying out a massive voter fraud scheme.  In a story ignored by the national media, in April a Tunica County, Miss., jury convicted NAACP official Lessadolla Sowers on 10 counts of fraudulently casting absentee ballots.  Sowers is identified on an NAACP website as a member of the Tunica County NAACP Executive Committee.

Soros Election-Rigging Scheme Collapses.  A George Soros-backed scheme that paved the way for Al Franken's 2008 theft of a U.S. Senate seat has collapsed months ahead of the critical November elections.  Rumors of the death of the Secretary of State Project had been circulating for months.  Michael Kieschnick, co-founder of the Secretary of State Project, confirmed that his group has shut down in an interview at the recent "Take Back the American Dream" conference in Washington, D.C.

Justice Department Blocks Voter ID at Every Turn.  People seemingly voting after they've been dead for years.  Drug kingpins buying votes from poor people to sway elections.  Non-citizens being bussed to the polls and coached on how to vote.  Stories of voting fraud are shocking, and states have been taking action to make sure that elections are secure.  But the Justice Department, led by Attorney General Eric Holder, has blocked states at almost every turn.

Louisa felon illegally registered after receiving form from Voter Participation Center.  A felon living in Louisa County [Virginia] registered to vote illegally and then cast a ballot in the 2008 presidential election after filling out and submitting a voter-registration form she received by mail from the Voter Participation Center, a state senator who prosecuted the case confirmed Wednesday [7/25/2012].

No Joke.  The Voter Participation Center [...] is mass mailing pre-printed voter registration forms to selected voter blocks known to be part of the Democrat coalition, African-Americans, Latinos, young adults, and single women.  In their effort to extend the Chicago system to the rest of the country VPC mailed nearly 200,000 third-party voter registration forms to Virginia residents in June.  This has resulted in more than 15,000 new voters being registered.  However, there are a few problems with this exercise in Chicago-style democracy.  They are violating rules set forth in the state code and the Virginia Constitution requiring that voters fill out their own form.  The State Board of Elections, which the group says pre-approved their forms and their methods, has asked the group to stop filling in the forms prior to sending them to the people, and pointing to the errant forms they have also raised questions concerning how the group obtained lists of registered voters.  In addition, according to Justin Riemer, the Virginia State Board of Elections' deputy secretary, forms have been sent by the group to "deceased infants, out-of-state family members, and non-U.S. citizens, among others."

Voter fraud investigation targets Hawaii County as clerk has voter registration trouble.  A possible voter fraud case on the Big Island is the subject of an investigation, a law enforcement source told Hawaii News Now Thursday [7/26/2012].  The probe focuses on allegations that some absentee ballots were improperly "doctored," the source said.  A second source, a state government employee, said Hawaii County Clerk Jamae Kawauchi spent much of Thursday afternoon meeting with a lawyer at the state Attorney General's office in Honolulu.

A black Democrat official opens the door to voter fraud:
Delco election official vows to defy ID law.  Even as the fate of Pennsylvania's new voter-identification law plays out in a Harrisburg courtroom, an election official in Delaware County is vowing not to enforce it.  Christopher L. Broach, a Democratic inspector of elections in the tiny borough of Colwyn, said he would not ask voters to prove who they are on Election Day.

Obama campaign sues over Ohio early voting law.  President Barack Obama's re-election campaign on Tuesday [7/17/2012] filed a federal lawsuit against Ohio's top elections official in a dispute over the battleground state's law that restricts early, in-person voting during the three days before Election Day.

Washington state to unveil voter registration on Facebook.  The secretary of state's office said Tuesday [7/17/2012] it will have an application on its Facebook page that allows residents to register to vote and then "like" the application and recommend it to their friends.

SEIU Subpoenaed in Milwaukee Investigation.  New documents obtained by Media Trackers reveal that the Milwaukee County District Attorney's office recently subpoenaed the national office of the Service Employee International Union (SEIU) in Washington D.C. for the employment documents of a senior organizer currently under investigation for vote fraud in Wisconsin.

SEIU's Mobile Voters.  The Wisconsin-based Media Trackers reported Monday that the Milwaukee D.A. had subpoenaed the SEIU headquarters in Washington, D.C. for the employment records of Clarence S. Haynes, a senior organizer for the national public-sector union.  Haynes, along with two other SEIU organizers, registered to vote for the Badger State's April 5, 2011, election using an out-of-state ID and claiming a Marriott hotel in Glendale, Wisconsin, as his residence, Media Trackers reported in October 2011.  In response to the report, the Milwaukee District Attorney's office began investigating Haynes and his associates.

Democrat Voter Drives Are Going To The Dogs... And Cats... And The Dead, Etc.  A few days ago, Secretary of State Tom Schedler released a public warning for Louisianians to be on the lookout for mailings from the Voter Participation Center, a Washington-based nonprofit organization that's been filling out registration forms for people.  Some of those people are long dead or otherwise ineligible to vote because they are underage, non-citizens, etc.

Feds finally help Florida in fighting voter fraud.  It took about a year, but Florida has prevailed upon the federal government to help the state conduct fair and fraud-free elections.  On Saturday [7/14/2012], the U.S. Department of Homeland Security ended its opposition to handing over a key database to the Florida Department of State.  The Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements database, or SAVE, is a comprehensive list of citizens.  Florida will now cross-check its statewide database of voters with the federal government's SAVE database.

Dogs, dead people get election documents from nonprofit.  A group called the Voter Participation Center has touted the distribution of some 5 million registration forms in recent weeks, targeting Democratic-leaning voting blocs such as unmarried women, blacks, Latinos and young adults.

In Support of Voter ID.  America desperately needs voter ID in all fifty states.  When you have sat, as I have, in smoke filled rooms all night and well into the day after Election Day waiting on precincts to report in because they are waiting to determine how many votes are necessary for their candidate to win the election and somehow, those ballots just seem to appear in the wee hours of the next day; when you have seen entire ballot boxes disappear from polling places at the close of the election day to be found days later in a farmer's barn; when you have sat in hearing after hearing on voter irregularities, as I have; when you have sat in rooms with board of election officials on one side of the table and members of the US Justice Department with 357 Magnums on one hip and IBM belt recorders on the other hip sitting on the opposite side of the table carefully counting the ballots all over again; when you have witnessed paper ballots already filled out being exchanged for blank ballots to voters near a polling place; when you have seen altercations between precinct officials in which heated language, threats of bodily harm, and a knife are involved; when your county becomes known by the Feds as "Little Chicago" — then maybe you can understand why I support such a simple unassuming safeguard as a state issued identification card that proves you are, in fact, the registered voter on the voter rolls of your precinct.

Is this Voter Fraud in the Making?  This mailer arrived in our box for my wife today.  My first suspicion was that this mailer was under her 'familiar' name, not her 'legal' name.  Plus, she's already registered to vote.  But there was something fishy about this mailer so I couldn't help but delve deeper.  It appeared to come from the Virginia State Board of Elections, but upon further investigation it actually came from the Voter Participation Center, which is a partner organization with the George Soros funded Center for American Progress and both groups have direct ties to the Obama White House.

Eric Holder's war.  The president was a no-show, Joe Biden exhorted the crowd to stick with Obama and Mitt Romney gave a frank address to the nation's oldest civil-rights organization in which he vowed to repeal ObamaCare.  But the most important news out of the NAACP in Houston this week came from Attorney General Eric Holder, who vowed to continue the Justice Department's war on states trying to ensure the integrity of the electoral system.  "The arc of American history has always moved toward expanding the electorate," said Holder.

The Editor says...
Unfortunately that is true.  The electorate is expanding to include felons, illegal aliens, dead people, motor voters, serial voters, ignorant teenagers, and fictitious people like Doodad Pro.

Feds OK Florida's access to citizens list, Scott declares 'victory' for voters.  Florida GOP Gov. Rick Scott on Saturday lauded the Obama administration's new announcement that gives the state access to a federal database, but he also called the standoff-ending decision a "significant victory" for Florida.

No Vote Fraud? New Twist in Rangel "Win".  At a time when Democrats around the country, including Attorney General Eric Holder, have been vociferously claiming there is no such thing as voter fraud in the United States and that efforts to uphold the integrity of elections are a form of racism, the senior member of the Congressional Black Caucus appears to have engaged in a variety of forms of fraud himself.  The latest results from the June 26 election show Rep. Charles Rangel holding a more than 900-vote edge on challenger Adriano Espaillat.  But Espaillat is screaming bloody murder over the way Rangel's party establishment followers may have cooked the results.

The Rangel Bungle.  Sometimes it's hard to tell where the fraud ends and the incompetence begins.  The Rangel fiasco reminds us that the United States has, as Walter Dean Burnham, the nation's leading political scientist, put it, "the developed world's sloppiest election systems."  And New York City is no unsophisticated backwater.

Fighting for voter fraud?  Florida officials are trying to purge their voter lists of noncitizens.  Remarkably, the Obama Justice Department is suing to prevent the purge.

Federal judge rejects Justice Department challenge to Florida voter purge.  Great news for those who desire fair and honest elections:  the Orlando Sentinel reports that U.S. District Judge Robert Hinkle has "rejected a request from the Obama Administration to put an immediate stop to [Florida's] non-citizen voter purge program."  The program in question involved 2600 challenge letters sent out to suspected illegitimate voters, whose registration information did not match up with other databases available to the state.  Over 100 illegitimate voters have already been discovered, with at least 50 of them having committed the felony offense of voting illegally in previous elections.

Court OKs Removing Non-Citizens from Rolls.  A federal judge has upheld the legality of Florida's purge of non-citizens from voting rolls, denying the Obama administration's request for a halt to the program, which could handicap Obama's performance in Florida.

Virginia Democrats Say Voter Fraud Acceptable.  During the first stop of the Americans For Prosperity (AFP) "Real Facts, Real Solutions" bus tour in Virginia, a small group of protestors — organized by the Democratic Party of Virginia — held signs accusing AFP of voter fraud.  When asked to comment, they said nothing, then stated clearly that a certain amount of voter fraud is acceptable.  The protesters were mostly kids in their late teens and early 20's.  Organizing them were Brian Coy, Communications Director for the Virginia Democrat Party, and Cesar Del Aguila, leader of the Fairfax County Democratic Committee.

Pelosi Says Contempt Charge a Right-Wing Scheme on Voter Rights.  House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi blasted Wednesday's contempt proceedings over the Oversight and Government Reform committee's Fast and Furious investigation as a "shameful display of abuse of power" by House Republicans.  She claims it's part of a right-wing "over-the-edge" scheme to strike back against Attorney General Eric Holder for defending voting rights across the country.

The Editor says...
I hesitate to quote from (or link to) ABC News on this web site, but I do so in this case to illustrate that the article above is a news report with the reporter's opinion seamlessly injected here and there.  The statement that Eric Holder is defending voting rights across the country is a canard, because the right of living U.S. citizens (18 or over) to vote one time in each election are not under attack anywhere, as far as I know, and there is therefore no need for Eric Holder to go on the defense.

No, Ms. Pelosi, We Aren't Suppressing, but Holder is Pushing Fraud.  Among legal voters, the order is a political wash:  It might attract some votes from legal Hispanic citizens, but it also will even further turn off another block of voters who hate amensty or who object to flagrant executive overreacch.  But by providing a sort of documentation to 800,000 new people, it also makes it easier for those 800,000 to vote.  Holder and Obama know this.  They approve of it.  And Pelosi knows it.

Florida 'purge' update: 96 illegal voters found, and counting.  While partisan Democrats and vote-fraud enthusiasts bleat about the supposed unfairness of validating voter registration, the state of Florida quietly continues discovering illegal voters.  Responses to the certified letters sent to 2,600 questionable registered voters continue to trickle in.  Many of those challenged by the Florida Department of State have been able to produce documentation showing they are, in fact, legal voters.

State won't release larger list of possible noncitizen voters.  Gov. Rick Scott insists Florida's voter rolls must be scrubbed carefully to remove any non-U.S. citizens, but his administration is keeping secret a list of more than 180,000 voters whose citizenship may be in question.

Eric Holder's Corrupt Agenda.  On Tuesday, [6/12/2012] the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced it was filing a lawsuit against Florida over the state's push to clean its voter roles of dead and foreign voters.  The move comes on the heels of Congressman Darrell Issa (R-CA), the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, scheduling a vote by his panel on June 20th aimed at holding U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over documents in the Fast and Furious gunrunning scandal.  While the corrupt practices of Holder's DOJ may finally be getting the attention they deserve, it is also becoming apparent that the department is not just degrading the principles of law and order to advance a radical leftist agenda — but to enhance president's Obama's re-election chances by any means necessary.

Voting allegations under investigation.  The Racine County Sheriff's Office is investigating claims of voter fraud that allegedly took place in the city during this month's recall election.  According to an RCSO press release issued Thursday [6/14/2012], Racine County District Attorney Rich Chiapete contacted the office on Monday after he was contacted by a citizen who reportedly recovered suspicious voter registration documents from a trash bin at the Cesar Chavez Center, 2221 Douglas Ave.  Chiapete asked the Sheriff's Office to investigate the claim.

Voting rights groups say Alabama agencies are not obeying federal voter registration laws.  A coalition of voting rights and civil rights groups is alleging that Alabama is not meeting the law in providing voter registration materials to residents who seek government assistance.  The National Voter Registration Act, passed in 1993 and widely known as the "motor voter" act, requires that applicants for public assistance be given voter registration applications.

The Editor says...
The sponges and dead weight of society, when signing up for welfare checks (or already receiving them), should not be encouraged — or (in my opinion) even allowed  — to vote.  Voting and politics should not even be mentioned at the welfare office.

Meet the Radical DOJ Lawyer Suing Florida to Keep Foreigners on Voter Rolls.  The DOJ filed a complaint against Florida today to stop Florida from removing ineligible non-citizens from the voter rolls.  (Yesterday DOJ, disgracing long-established tradition, leaked this impending news to a sycophantic blogger.)  Florida has already discovered noncitizens who voted illegally in previous elections.  The lawsuit filed today seeks to stop Florida from purging non-citizens from Florida voting rolls.  No word on whether Eric Holder's Justice Department will be filing criminal charges against the foreigners who illegally registered to vote.  Priorities lie elsewhere.

Why Does DOJ Tolerate Foreigners on Florida Voter Rolls?  You might wonder why the Justice Department is so hostile toward removing foreigners from the voter rolls in Florida.  DOJ sued Florida today to stop the removal on non-citizens from the rolls.  Lots of people can't understand why, but I can.

DOJ Sues Florida: Stop Removing Non-Citizens from Voter Rolls.  The US Department of Justice announced Monday it will sue Florida to stop the state from purging ineligible voters from its voter rolls.  The DOJ statement came after Florida filed suit against the Department of Homeland Security for failing to cooperate with efforts to clean up the state's voter registration records.

More Polling Place Problems in Racine Throw Close Election Into Doubt.  Breitbart News continues to receive new reports of potential voter fraud, ballot insecurity and unethical activity on behalf of the community-organized left in Racine, Wisconsin during the recall elections of June 5.

Florida refuses to halt voter registration cleanup.  The Florida Department of State has responded to the Justice Department's demand that they terminate efforts to clean ineligible voters, particularly illegal aliens, from their voter registrations. [...] The Justice Department's action has been widely misreported as an "order" which Florida is now "defying," but in fact it was a letter of warning, not a legal injunction.

Eric Holder's Pooh-poohing of Voter Fraud Dangers.  Attorney General Eric Holder recently told a group of black clergymen that the right to vote was being threatened by people who are seeking to block access to the ballot box by blacks and other minorities.  This is truly world-class chutzpah, by an Attorney General who stopped attorneys in his own Department of Justice from completing the prosecution of black thugs who stationed themselves outside a Philadelphia voting site to harass and intimidate white voters.

Who May Vote in Florida?  Time and again, the Holder Justice Department has exhibited politically driven law enforcement.  But its latest instance of lawlessness is absolutely brazen.  Last week, the Civil Rights Division's Voting Section sent a letter to the Florida secretary of state, Ken Detzner, ordering him to stop removing voters who are not citizens from Florida's voter-registration rolls.  This goes far beyond Holder's previous actions, such as belittling claims of voter fraud and trying to stop voter ID and other reform measures intended to improve the integrity of the election process.  This letter would directly abet vote thieves in a key state as Holder's boss seeks reelection this November.

The Anti-Democratic Party.  Democrats love to count perhaps even more than a familiar "Sesame Street" character known for his fangs, monocle, and cape.  If they don't like the results, Democrats keep counting the votes over and over again until they get the result they want.  They tally, calculate, and enumerate their way to victory whenever their candidate is within what columnist John Fund calls the "margin of ACORN."  (See U.S. Sen. Al Franken, Washington Gov. Christine Gregoire, to name just two recent examples.)  With the help of radical financier George Soros they even created the Secretary of State Project to install state officers who would help rig elections for Democrats.

Florida will defy order to stop purging voter list amid calls of 'suppression'.  Florida says it will defy an order from the US justice department to stop purging its voter roll of people the state claims may not be American citizens.  The justice department has warned that the practice, which critics describe as "voter suppression" by Florida's Republican administration aimed at stripping the ballot from people more likely to support Democrats, is illegal under federal laws.  It has given the state until Wednesday to agree to halt the purge, something officials in Florida say they have no intention of doing.

Seventy-Six Trombones and 8.2% Unemployment.  The Attorney General headed off to speak to black ministers ostensibly to advise them of what conduct on the part of the churches is legal.  In actuality he attempted to scare them into concerted action to get out the vote by suggesting that voter I.D. laws were no more than efforts to deprive blacks of their "sacred right" to vote.  And when Florida started purging its voting rolls of 52,000 deceased voters and 180,000 non-citizens (undoubtedly aided in election fraud by the ill-considered Voter Motor law), he dashed off a letter to the Florida Secretary of State Ken Detzner demanding the state stop the clean up.

Late voter cards prompt fraud investigation.  With the primary election less than a week away, the San Luis Obispo County Clerk-Recorder's Office has initiated an investigation with the Secretary of State after a heap of voter registration cards were mishandled.  According to County Clerk Julie Rodewald, although roughly 900 prospective voters signed their voter registration cards prior to the deadline, they were turned in to her office too late to be legally considered for the June 5 primary.

Voter Registration Clean-Up in Florida — Removing Deceased Voters and Illegal Immigrants.  The names of about 52,000 deceased voters have been removed from Florida's voter registration rolls.  More voter registrations, possibly as many as 180,000 non-citizens, may follow as the State of Florida moves to clean up its voter registration lists.  About 52,000 deceased voters were identified by comparing voter registration databases with the Social Security Administration's databases containing information regarding deceased persons.

Feds to Florida: halt non-citizen voter purge.  The Justice Department ordered Florida's elections division to halt a systematic effort to find and purge the state's voter rolls of noncitizen voters.  Florida's effort appears to violate both the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which protects minorities, and the 1993 National Voter Registration Act — which governs voter purges — T. Christian Herren Jr., the Justice Department's lead civil rights lawyer, wrote in a detailed two-page letter sent late Thursday night [5/31/2012].

Meet the Radical DOJ Lawyer Forcing Florida to Keep Foreigners on the Voter Rolls.  Yesterday [5/31/2012], Eric Holder's Voting Section ordered Florida to stop purging foreigners from the voter rolls.  Two weeks ago, Florida found 53,000 dead voters registered to vote.  Florida has also found non-citizens on the voter rolls and Secretary of State Ken Detzner has started the process of removing them.  Not so fast, says Eric Holder's DOJ.  In a letter to Detzner, the DOJ says to stop removing foreigners from the rolls.  The Voting Section makes a dubious argument under Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act, a law the Obama administration has refused to enforce because of ideological opposition.  The letter notes that Elise Shore is the attorney behind the letter.

Wisconsin Voter Fraud Has Already Happened.  Although the Wisconsin recall election is about to be held, by election day (June 5) voter fraud will have taken place well before the votes are counted.  It's being done via the lax voter registration process.  In most states, a voter must have registered several weeks to a month prior to election day to be eligible to vote.  Not in Wisconsin, where day of election registration is legal.

Stopping Vote Fraud the Kansas Way.  The most encouraging news out of Kansas is that the state is taking the lead in cleaning up registration rolls so that people won't vote in two states or after they've died, which is alarming news for Chicago and other cities where the dead vote early and often.

53,000 Dead Voters Found in Florida.  I have learned that Florida election officials are set to announce that the secretary of state has discovered and purged up to 53,000 dead voters from the voter rolls in Florida.  How could 53,000 dead voters have sat on the polls for so long?  Simple.  Because Florida hadn't been using the best available data revealing which voters have died.  Florida is now using the nationwide Social Security Death Index for determining which voters should be purged because they have died.  Here is the bad news.  Most states aren't using the same database that Florida is.

MSNBC Ad: Andrea Mitchell Thinks Voter ID Laws are a 'Scandal'.  In the latest "Lean Forward" ad from MSNBC, news anchor Andrea Mitchell offers her opinion of election fraud:  She's for it.

I See Dead People Voting.  Florida has taken the lead in doing what each state is responsible for — insuring its voter rolls meet state voting requirement.  For its efforts to insure only properly registered and legal voters vote it is being attacked by the ACLU, the media and other progressive groups for denying voting privileges to well dead people, illegal aliens, felons and others who are currently on Florida's voter rolls.

Voter fraud allegations in mayoral election rock New Mexico city.  There is perhaps no other city in the country like Sunland Park, N.M.  The dusty border town minutes from El Paso, Texas, has been called "a city in chaos" by the state auditor, because a slew of public officials are facing felony charges that they ran City Hall like a personal piggy bank, tried to steal an election in order to remain in power and ruled the 14,000 residents through intimidation and fear.  The state is now moving to take over financial oversight of the city, as the council scrambles to try and name a new mayor.

O'Keefe Video Turns up Pressure on Governor Perdue in North Carolina.  The new video James O'Keefe's Project Veritas released yesterday [5/15/2012], which showed how easy it was for non-citizens to vote in North Carolina, has immediately had an impact in the state, pressuring Democrat Gov. Bev Perdue and state legislators, as well as creating a local media sensation.  As Raleigh, North Carolina's ABC affiliate, WTVD reports, the North Carolina State Board of Elections is already conducting an investigation into the "allegations made in the video, including double voting, non-citizen voting, and dead people voting."

How Convenient: Potentially 180,000 Non-Citizens Capable of Voting in Swing States.  Welcome to the year 2012 where the Obama Justice Department, headed by Attorney General Eric Holder, refuses to admit voter fraud is a real threat to our democratic process while they sue state after state for voter i.d. laws.  "There is no proof that our elections are marred by in person voter fraud," Attorney General Eric Holder.  "Solutions that have been proposed go to things that do not exist, go to a problem that does not exist."

O'Keefe Strikes Again — in North Carolina.  James O'Keefe's Project Veritas exposed how easy it was for someone to walk in to a polling place and get Attorney General Eric Holder's ballot, and now it has released another video that shows how easily non-citizens — and even dead people — can vote in North Carolina, a crucial 2012 swing state.

Homeland Security stalls Florida voter clean-up effort.  The Department of Homeland Security is stonewalling Florida's effort to clean up its voting rolls 12 years after George W. Bush won the state's electoral votes by a razor-thin margin.  The state asked DHS in September to check the citizenship of 180,000 registered people who have Florida driver licenses but may not be citizens, Chris Cate, communications director for the Florida Department of State, told The Daily Caller.  Florida's stalled request comes amid efforts by Democratic legislators and advocates to stop popular and court-approved voter-identification laws.

Scytl: Voter fraud facts and fiction.  [Scroll down]  In October 2010, the D.C. Board of Elections and Ethics encouraged outside parties to try to find security holes in their online balloting infrastructure operated by Scytl.  A group of University of Michigan students successfully hacked into the system, commandeered passwords, doctored ballots and programmed audio of the school's fight song to play whenever an e-ballot was submitted.  Hackers from Iran and China also came close to breaking in.  "After the hack," according to AOLNews.com, "(D.C.) administrators decided to relaunch under a download-only format, allowing users to access ballots but forcing them to fax or mail them rather than cast a vote online."  The D.C. official who oversaw the system, Paul Stenbjorn, now works for Scytl.

One Million Recall Signatures and Only 650k Votes?  Why is this number so interesting?  Well, because we have all heard for months now how many furious Wisconsinites there are in the dairy state.  And, of course, how they accounted for over one million signatures to recall Governor Walker.  Over one million!  That's right, over one million Wisconsinites supposedly signed the petitions, but only 650,725 showed up to vote.  That's about 40% fewer voters than signers.  How likely is that?

The Left's National Vote Fraud Strategy Exposed.  This report reveals the Left's vote fraud strategy for the 2012 elections.  Like a KGB operation, it is thorough, multi-faceted and redundant.  It has overt and covert, illegal and legal elements, the latter of which are designed, at least in part, to facilitate illegal activities later.  It is a deliberate, premeditated, comprehensive plan to win the 2012 presidential election at all costs, and is in keeping with the organizational methods, associations and ethics of the Community-Organizer-in-Chief, Barack Obama. [...] This strategy has been under development for decades.  They have constructed an entire industry devoted to this task and pursue a multifaceted strategy to accomplish it.

Vote Fraud Steals Your Most Precious Civil Right.  The government derives its legitimacy from free and fair elections and is bound by them.  Vote fraud cuts at the very heart of American freedom.  When an illegal vote is cast and counted, it cancels out the legal vote of a lawful citizen.  In recent years, close elections and news of vote fraud have awakened Americans to the importance of protecting the integrity of the ballot box.

Democrats Say: Arrest the Messenger!  Beginning with the ACORN videos that he made with Hannah Giles, James O'Keefe has been a thorn in the side of liberalism.  Most recently, he has gone after the voter fraud issue, demonstrating in a series of videos under the rubric Project Veritas how easy it is to vote illegally.  Here in Minnesota, he and his colleagues obtained, with no difficulty, ballots in the names of "Tim Tebow" and "Tom Brady," shortly after the Super Bowl.  Needless to say, no identification was requested, and there are no such Minnesota voters.  In New Hampshire, the Project Veritas crew got ballots in the names of deceased voters.  "How would I know if they were dead or not?" laughs one New Hampshire poll worker.

The Reality of Voter Fraud:  Liberal groups ranging from the ACLU to the NAACP oppose voter-ID laws, claiming that voter fraud is almost nonexistent and that an ID requirement would amount to voter suppression.  It's certainly true that in-person voter fraud — the type of fraud most easily fought with voter-ID laws — isn't the whole picture.  Voter-ID laws must be combined with tighter controls on absentee ballots, the tool of choice of fraudsters.

Fraudulent Voting Plagues America.  In Texas, a voter must by law identify a permanent address, but in 2008 alone, 6,178 new registrants were accepted without one.  Overall in Texas there are 29,345 names on the rolls with no address.  In the town of Nacogdoches, 1,665 are registered from one P.O. Box.  Statewide, 74,730 names of dead people remain on the rolls.  In Florida, 29,935 dead people are still listed.  In the largest county in Wisconsin, only 709,854 people are adults eligible to vote, but a stunning 954,008 names are on the registration lists.

Anita Moncrief Takes on Eric Holder on Race, ACORN and Voter Fraud.  [Scroll down]  This is not just something that has come out recently.  This is something that started in the '90s when Bill Clinton was in office.  Not many people realize this, but ACORN helped get Bill Clinton elected, and the National Voter Registration Act was Clinton's gift to ACORN.  And so for 10 years, ACORN and its sister organization Project Vote were going around the country and forcing Section 7 of the NVRA, which is the part about registering voters in public assistance agencies.  They coordinated openly with the Clinton Justice Department during the '90s, and during that time they had voter registrations coming out of these public assistance offices in the millions.  This was their demographic.

True The Vote, Day Two: Breitbart Is Here.  Volunteers from 32 states have gathered to bring integrity back to what has become a corrupted election process.  We have heard story after story today and last night — ACORN's $30 million Project Vote effort in 2008; several jurisdictions across several states have more names on their voter rolls than there are eligible voting adults in their area.  Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch directly warned that the Obama administration's Department of Justice is working hand in hand with former ACORN lawyers who have pled guilty in voter fraud cases, on this year's election strategy.  He connected the Obama stealth amnesty for illegal aliens with this voter drive and the administration's overt opposition to commonsense voter ID laws that have already proven to be no obstacle whatsoever to legitimate voters into a terrifying probability:  that the Obama administration is preparing to steal this fall's election.

Fraudulent Voting Plagues America.  Just this week, in fact, new vote-fraud charges were filed against the mayor of an Indiana town who stands accused of serious improprieties with absentee ballots.  Also this week, a Democratic precinct chairwoman candidate was indicted for arranging for her son, who isn't registered, to vote for his father — without the father's permission.  And in April alone in Virginia, 38 people were officially charged with vote fraud and another 10 earlier indictees were convicted, leading the Richmond Times-Dispatch to publish a rare editorial retracting an earlier piece that had claimed vote fraud is virtually non-existent.  In all, 46 states in the past decade have prosecuted people for vote fraud.

Democratic precinct chairwoman candidate indicted in voter fraud case in Fort Worth.  A Democratic precinct chairwoman candidate has been indicted on suspicion of conspiring to arrange an illegal vote last year.  Hazel Woodard James, 40, is accused of arranging for her son — who was not a registered voter — to vote on behalf of his father.  The incident reportedly came to light when the father showed up later in the day to vote in the same precinct, 1211, for which James is now running to be chairwoman.

The mysterious disappearance of the Secretary of State Project.  For years Soros's ultra-wealthy colleagues in the Democracy Alliance, a billionaires' club that funds left-wing political infrastructure, opened their wallets to help secretary of state candidates endorsed by the SoS Project.  They helped to elect Saul Alinsky-inspired community organizer Mark Ritchie, the ACORN-loving Minnesota secretary of state who presided over Al Franken's theft of incumbent Republican Norm Coleman's U.S. Senate seat in the 2008 election cycle.  Until a year and a half ago the Secretary of State Project was doing well.  Before the 2010 cycle it took credit for electing 11 of the 18 left-wingers it endorsed since it began funding candidates in 2006.  Then in 2010 disaster struck for Democrats at both the national and state levels.

Milwaukee County DA investigating voter fraud claims.  The Milwaukee County district attorney's office is investigating claims that three men broke the law last year when they registered and voted in the county.  Voter registration applications from three men who listed the Glendale Residence Inn as their address is what sparked this investigation.

Stealing Our Elections.  [Scroll down]  Let's be fully frank.  It's not just Obama and Holder, true.  It's the whole Democrat party.  And the transparent reason they oppose Voter ID, and favor loose election laws like Motor Voter, election day registration, mail in registration, online voting, and extended voting over days and even weeks before Election Day is that vote fraud is a central Democrat strategy for "winning" elections.

ACORN Whistleblower Says Obama DOJ 'Has Gone Wild'.  Unless voter integrity efforts take root this year, the notion of free and fair elections could become a relic of American history, Catherine Engelbrecht warned listeners during the "True the Vote National Summit in Houston, Texas yesterday [4/27/2012].  Engelbrecht, who is the president and founder of the organization, cited specific instances throughout the country where the number of voters listed on registration rolls exceeded the actual number of eligible voters.  She also said it was far too easy for non-citizens to obtain voter registration forms.

Virginia investigates voter fraud.  Results of an ongoing Virginia State Police investigation of voter registration irregularities from the 2008 general election may signal a more significant voter fraud issue than some state lawmakers realized.  As Virginia legislators hotly debated a voter ID bill that narrowly passed the General Assembly, many were unaware of a state police investigation that, so far, has resulted in charges against 38 people statewide for voter fraud.  Warrants have been obtained for a 39th person who can't be located.

'Fair' elections, Obama-style.  The November presidential election is shaping up as a clear choice between a vision of a smaller federal role and President Obama's view that there's no limit to what the government can do.  One thing the administration won't do is ensure the choices Americans make at the ballot box are properly counted.  Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. has declared that widespread voter fraud "does not really exist" in the United States.  That was before video guerrillas presented him with an up-close view of the problem.

Military votes don't count.  Election after election, certain state and local election officials fail to meet the deadline for sending absentee ballots.  The outcome is often the same — thousands of ballots are received too close to the election to be returned or, if they are returned, the ballots arrive after the deadline to be counted.  In either case, the military voter is disenfranchised.

Project Veritas Proves How Easy Voter Fraud Is Without ID.  There are a lot of liberals who think, probably correctly, that the Democratic Party benefits from voter fraud.  They figure it pads their totals across the country on election day by tens of thousands of votes and probably swings a handful of close races their way.  Undoubtedly, they're right about that.  So, in an effort to keep legitimate votes from being cancelled out by fraud, Republicans have started making a concerted push to put voter ID laws in place.

O'Keefe Voter Fraud Investigation: Young Man Offered Holder's Ballot.  In a new video provided to Breitbart.com, James O'Keefe's Project Veritas demonstrates why Holder should stop attacking voter ID laws — by walking into Holder's voting precinct and showing the world that anyone can obtain Eric Holder's primary ballot.  Literally.

The Democrats' Election Forgery Racket.  This week, four Democratic officials in Indiana were hit with felony charges related to petition fraud in the state's 2008 primary.  The prosecutions are a result of the local South Bend Tribune newspaper's investigation last fall into "hundreds of county residents' signatures" forged on petitions used to put Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on the Democratic primary ballot.  At least two whistle-blowing government officials came forward to expose the forgery racket, which court documents say was formulated by Democratic Party officials inside local party headquarters.  A veteran county Democratic Party chair, Butch Morgan, resigned in October over the scandal; three employees in the St. Joseph County voter registration office reportedly helped Morgan execute the scheme.

Four charged in petition forgery case.  A former St. Joseph County Democratic leader is among four people the prosecutor's office charged Monday [4/2/2012] following an investigation into allegedly fake petitions from the 2008 Indiana primary.  The news is the latest development in a scandal The Tribune and Howey Politics Indiana uncovered last fall by reporting that hundreds of county residents' signatures had been forged on petitions used to qualify Democratic presidential candidates for the primary ballot.

4 Indiana Dems charged with election fraud in 2008 presidential race.  Felony charges related to election fraud have touched the 2008 race for the highest office in the land.  Prosecutors in South Bend, Ind., filed charges Monday against four St. Joseph County Democratic officials and deputies as part of a multiple-felony case involving the alleged forging of Democratic presidential primary petitions in the 2008 election, which put then-candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on the Indiana ballot.

The Obama Administration's Attack on Fair Elections.  Judicial Watch recently announced a major new campaign to stop leftist activists and their allies in the Obama administration from undermining the integrity of the elections in 2012.  As the nation heads into another presidential election season, our 2012 Election Integrity Project is one of JW's top priorities.  Our investigators have uncovered a multi-pronged strategy by leftist radicals to make certain Barack Obama and other liberal candidates are reelected by hook or by crook — with the full support and participation of the Obama Department of Justice (DOJ).

Union Thugs Threaten Citizen Election Watchdogs.  The Communist (I do not use that term recklessly) publication People's World has an article full of threats and libel from union thugs and Soros-funded voter fraud deniers directed at law abiding Americans:  "Labor raising an 'army of 400,000' for the 2012 elections."  Groups like True the Vote and Judicial Watch are working to cleanse the voter rolls of ineligible and dead voters, using federal laws Eric Holder's Justice Department won't enforce.

Photo ID Only First Step in Fighting Voter Fraud.  Have you ever driven your car over the speed limit and not been caught?  Because you weren't caught, does that mean that you didn't break the law?  Also:  voter fraud prosecution is only as good as the witness who testifies and the prosecutor who prosecutes.  The district attorneys in Pennsylvania are elected:  isn't it feasible that there are situations where investigating and prosecuting the fraud would not be in the self-interest of the prosecutor?

Armed Americans Revolt Against Voter Fraud.  It actually happened, and not too long ago in Athens, Tennessee.  The Department of Justice received years of complaints about voter fraud, but took no action.  Returning servicemen were disgusted at what they saw, and put an end to it.

Former SEIU Member Registers 23,207 Fraudulent Voters.  Former Service Employees International Union (SEIU) member Steve Caddle of Houston, Texas has been caught registering 23,207 fake voters in Harris County alone due to the hard detective work of Catherine Engelbrecht and her "True the Vote" project.  This is one of the best examples of what good citizen activism inspired by Tea Party principles can do for their community.

Justice Department is protecting voter fraud.  In December, Obama's Justice Department challenged South Carolina's voter identification law.  Obama and his party clearly want as many of what they consider undocumented Democrats — that would be illegal immigrants to the rest of us — to have unfettered access to the polls.  Lest anyone think I'm making a spurious allegation against the Democrats, consider the Justice Department's own language in challenging Texas' voter identification law, struck down by a federal judge earlier this week.

Election fraud 2010:  A repository of the fraud & dirty tricks used by Democrats during the 2010 election cycle.

O'Keefe Video Exposes Voter Fraud-Friendly Policies in Vermont.  The video, a sequel to O'Keefe's "Primary of the Living Dead" in New Hampshire, shows a Veritas agent entering various voting places around the state of Vermont, giving a different name each time.  Each time, he is given a ballot without showing an ID, to his disbelief.  In the video, the agent repeatedly requests (but does not take) a Republican primary ballot.

Obama Team Praying Voter Fraud Will Re-elect Their Boss.  The US Justice Department has blocked the implementation of a Texas statue to require voters to present a photo id at the voting booth.  Last December, the same Eric Holder led department blocked the enforcement of a similar law in South Carolina.  Vetoing state laws governing voting procedures shows a dangerous pattern of abuse by these officials, and could dramatically increase fraud and undermine the integrity and legitimacy of elected officials.  It leads to a feeling amongst voters that these same officials want fraudulent votes to re-elect their very unpopular boss, Barack Obama.

Vermont officials call for criminal inquiry into video that claims to show voter fraud.  State elections officials are sharply criticizing an undercover video that surfaced Tuesday [3/13/2012] and purportedly shows individuals using the names of dead or living people in order to obtain ballots for Vermont elections, including this year's presidential primary.

Vermont Wants to Investigate O'Keefe, Not Voter Fraud.  Vermont Secretary of State James Condos is threatening videographer James O'Keefe with criminal investigation for his Project Veritas exposé of voter fraud in the state.  Ironically, Condos would have made it far easier to commit the very fraud that O'Keefe's investigation has suggested may be possible at the polls.  As a state senator, Condos pushed for same-day registration voting.

Tea Party Spawns New Effort Against Voter Fraud.  As part of a new campaign, dozens of citizen groups around the country are searching voter registration lists, looking for problems.  They're also training poll watchers to monitor this fall's elections.  Leaders of the effort — spawned by the Tea Party movement — say they want to make sure that elections are free from voter fraud.

O'Keefe Video Exposes Voter Fraud-Friendly Policies in Vermont.  James O'Keefe's Project Veritas has released a new video exposing just how easy it is to commit voter fraud in Vermont.  The video, a sequel to O'Keefe's "Primary of the Living Dead" in New Hampshire, shows a Veritas agent entering various voting places around the state of Vermont, giving a different name each time.  Each time, he is given a ballot without showing an ID, to his disbelief.

Understanding Sheila Jackson Lee's Accusations of "Racism".  During the 2010 election, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) was madder than a hornet that True the Vote was poll monitoring in Houston.  True the Vote was inside polling locations documenting election irregularities.  In response, Jackson Lee accused tea party groups like True the Vote of "intimidating and harassing" minorities by monitoring the elections.  As we get closer to November, let's remember the Congresswoman who cried wolf, so the next time we better understand the motivations of those who accuse law abiding citizens of racism.

There Could Be A Big Loophole For Voter Fraud In Vermon.  Our source describes a loophole that might allow additional ballots to be submitted without anyone noticing.  Voters cast different ballots for different elections and referendums.  Although towns are supposed to track how many of each ballot are requested, some voting stations do not, our source says.  At these locations there would be little to prevent corrupt election workers from ballot stuffing.

Projection: Less Than Half of 1.5+ Million Walker Recall Petitions will be Eligible.  [Scroll down]  The number of blank, incomplete, invalid and outright fraudulent petitions makes clear United Wisconsin's intentions.  One Democrat even appears to have entered his brother's name four separate times.  His brother was against the recall.  He also signed up his mother, other family members and possibly even neighbors without their assent or knowledge.  The entire effort recalls the familiar Democrat battle cry:  "Win, even if you have to sell your mother." ... Vote fraud is the most important battle we have to face this year.  Wikileaks has just revealed that the Democrats engaged in massive fraud in 2008.  2012 will be worse.

Dead will rise on Election Day.  Reports of dead voters are greatly understated.  While Democrats dismiss vote fraud as a collective Republican hallucination, a study released Tuesday [2/14/2012] by the Pew Center for the States confirms the GOP's concerns.  The ghosts in America's voting machines may be the least of our worries.  Pew has discovered that 1.8 million dead Americans are registered to vote.  Perhaps worse, 2.75 million Americans are enrolled in two states each, while 68,725 are signed up in three.  Indeed, Pew found, "24 million — 1 of every 8 — active voter registrations in the United States are no longer valid or are significantly inaccurate."

Voter Integrity Laws Gathering Momentum across the US.  Voter registration fraud is becoming a common practice.  ACORN employees were convicted of trying to register dead people and of making up voters.  Catherine Engelbrecht, who heads the organization True The Vote, which monitors and attempts to stop corruption in the election process, noted that in Milwaukee, 126% of the eligible population is registered to vote; Florida has 29,000 dead people on their voter roles, and in Texas, approximately 1,400 people are registered at the same P.O. Box.

Is Obama Courting Dead Voters?  Attorney General Eric Holder has been waging an increasingly aggressive campaign of late against state mandatory voter ID laws.  Because he's concerned about discrimination.  Against zombies.  Dead people have long been a major Democratic constituency, given that Democrats mostly control the big cities where such voter fraud — and other types — tends to occur.

Illegal voting story sparks criminal investigation.  Law enforcement is now taking action in direct response to an NBC2 investigation involving potential voter fraud.  It comes after we uncovered non U.S. citizens who were registered to vote.  The Collier County Sheriff's office is investigating two voters who admit they are not U.S. citizens, yet cast ballots in numerous elections.

Millions of Dead Voters, Brought to You By Eric Holder.  Over a year ago, I first warned that the Obama administration adopted a policy of refusing to enforce federal laws which require states to purge dead and ineligible voters from the rolls.  I discuss at length the details of this policy as revealed to me when I worked at the Justice Department in my book Injustice.  Today we learn that American voter rolls are infested with millions of dead and ineligible voters heading into the presidential election.  Eric Holder and his Leftist political appointees at the Justice Department have gotten exactly what they wanted.

Why Do Democrats Want to Protect Voter Fraud?  As many as 24 million registrations are invalid or contain significant errors, including almost 3 million who are registered in two or more states and 1.8 million dead people still listed as active voters.  Obviously this is a problem states must fix, and the sooner the better.

Study: 1 in 8 US voter registrations have errors.  Some 24 million voter registrations in the United States contain significant errors, including about 1.8 million dead people still on the rolls and many more approved to vote in multiple states, according to a report released Tuesday [2/14/2012].

New Yorkers Were Paid to Commit Vote Fraud.  A trial has been underway for a week in an upstate New York vote fraud case that has brought to light criminal actions committed by Democrats in city government in Troy, New York, that seems to go back decades.  Some of the first witnesses are also claiming that they were paid by Democrat officials to commit vote fraud.  The case centers around fraudulent voter registrations and absentee ballots for the Working Families Party, a thinly disguised Democrat Party entity originally created by the disgraced community activist group ACORN.

Voter Fraud Investigation: Agencies take action.  Collier County Supervisor of Elections has turned over potential evidence of voter fraud to law enforcement.  It's an update to an NBC2 investigation that found non-citizens voting in Florida Elections.  While the Naples voter admitted to us she is not a U.S. Citizen, election records show she voted six times in the past eleven years.  Less than a week after our story aired, the elections supervisor sent a letter to the sheriff's office asking them "to investigate and prosecute."

Hidden Camera Reveals How Easy It Is for Phantom Voters to Vote.  James O'Keefe's Project Veritas sent investigative reporters to the polls during the New Hampshire presidential primary on January 10.  The goal was to show how easy it was for someone to obtain a ballot using the name of a deceased person.  They attempted this at more than a dozen polling places, and were successful in obtaining ballots in all cases except one.  That was one where an alert poll worker personally knew the deceased person.

Glenoma Woman Charged With Voter Fraud.  A 35-year-old Glenoma woman who emigrated to the United States from Ghana, Africa, is accused of voter fraud in Lewis County Superior Court.

West Virginia Sheriff, Clerk Snared in Vote Fraud Investigation.  A Lincoln County, West Virginia Sheriff and Clerk are to plead guilty to charges of vote fraud in the 2010 Democrat primary after the pair were arrested during an election fraud investigation conducted by state and federal authorities.  Sheriff Jerry Bowman and Clerk Donald Whitten were caught in a scheme to file fraudulent absentee ballots in an effort to get Whitten elected Circuit Clerk.

Former Indiana Secretary of State Charlie White calls voter fraud verdict 'a travesty'.  Republican Secretary of State Charlie White was charged with illegally registering to vote at his ex-wife's house, and was convicted on six of seven felony voter-related counts in the early hours Saturday morning [2/4/2012] by a Hamilton County jury in Noblesville, Ind., just north of Indianapolis.

Mass Voter Fraud Discovered In Florida.  A local Florida station invented an unprecedented way to check for voter fraud: jury excusal forms.  NBC2 compiled a list of jury excusals based on not being a citizen of the United States and compared it to a list of registered voters in two counties.  They discovered almost 100 illegally registered voters, many of whom had voted multiple times.

Significant Non-Citizen Voting Found in Florida Two Days After Tampa Editorial Says It's 'Nonexistent'.  In what is apparently completely unimportant news to just about everyone except NBC2 in Southwest Florida and Andrew Breitbart, numerous instances of illegal voting by non-citizens have been uncovered.  Projecting the problems across the state and into the rest of the nation would seem to indicate that many thousands of people who are registered to vote should never have been allowed to register and are routinely casting ballots illegally.

NBC2 Investigates: Voter fraud.  Two elections supervisors are taking action after an NBC2 investigation uncovers flawed record keeping and human error allowing people who are not citizens of the United States to vote.  No one knows how widespread this problem is, because county election supervisors have no way to track non-citizens who live here.  So NBC2 did something election officials never thought to do, and found them on our own.

White House/DOJ Working with ACORN, Massive Voter Registration Fraud.  In January, Judicial Watch obtained additional documents about meetings held between Estelle Rogers, Director of Advocacy for the ACORN organization Project Vote, and officials from the Obama White House and the DOJ.  Judicial Watch is investigating the extent to which Project Vote, which once employed Barack Obama, has been working with the Obama administration to use voter registration laws to register greater numbers of low-income voters, widely considered to be an important voting demographic for the Obama presidential campaign.

Voter fraud concerns to prompt checklist guidlines.  State officials plan to issue instructions soon to local election workers on how to better maintain voter checklists after a controversial watchdog group tried to obtain ballots by using the names of dead voters at polling stations in four communities on primary day.

South Carolina AG: 900 Dead People Voted in Recent Elections.  South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson (R-SC) told Neil Cavuto today [1/21/2012] that the state has hundreds of people voting for dead people.

Stop the dead from voting.  The revelation of a SLED [South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division] investigation into hundreds of reported cases where votes were cast by individuals after the date of their deaths raised serious questions of possible voter fraud.  37,295 people listed by the Election Commission as needing photo IDs are deceased.  Of those, 957 were found to have voted AFTER the recorded date of their deaths, according to the SC DMV.

Voter fraud 'a normal political tactic' in upstate NY city.  Michael LoPorto arrived at the Rensselaer County Courthouse in Troy, N.Y. on Tuesday [1/17/2012] for his trial, which accuses him of being part of a "massive" voter fraud scheme.  The former Democratic city councilman and popular local restaurant owner appeared jaunty and relaxed as he answered a series of questions from Fox News — despite facing felony allegations that could send him to prison for seven years.

Dead People and Other Voters.  Years ago the Democrats learned that the surest way to win a tight election was to have just the right number of dead people ready to vote.  It worked in Texas in 1948 and Illinois in 1960 and may have worked in South Carolina in 2010 if Attorney General Eric Holder hadn't left well enough alone. ... Holder may soon regret his action which, like nearly everything else done by the Obama Administration these days, is intended to help get Mr. Obama reelected.

Indiana GOP get schooled on election fraud.  After allegations of election fraud during the last presidential election surfaced in Indiana, dozens of Republican county and state officials in Indiana are taking lessons on how to prevent mischief in the presidential nominating petition process.  A seminar in LaPorte, Ind., for Republicans was called after the revelations of what is alleged to have happened in the Hoosier state four years ago, when signatures and names were allegedly falsified on documents that got then-Democratic candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on the ballot.

DMV: 900 Dead People May Have Voted.  The director of South Carolina's Department of Motor Vehicles has told the State Law Enforcement Division that more than 900 people who were recorded as having voted were actually dead.

Elections leader wants probe of more than 900 dead voters.  State officials are calling for an investigation after records determined that more than 900 people listed as deceased also have recently voted, calling into question the integrity of the state's election system as South Carolina's first-in-the-South GOP presidential primary just 10 days away.

AG probes voter fraud in NH after activists get ballots as dead people because they weren't ID'ed.  The New Hampshire Attorney General has launched a comprehensive review of state voting procedures, after people obtained ballots of dead voters during the presidential primary on Tuesday.  No fraudulent votes were actually cast.  But in nine instances, clerks readily handed over ballots after a would-be voter implied he was the city resident, recently deceased, still listed on the voter checklist, according to a video posted on the Internet.  After receiving the ballot, the person departed without voting.

Voter Fraud for the Complete Idiot.  [Scroll down]  One way in which voter fraud (illegal voting) is made possible is by the registration of people who aren't eligible to vote.  Such registrations are due to fraud (or to error) committed by registrants and even by registrars.  But the most important factor contributing to corrupted voter registries is the voter registration system itself.  Voter registration in America is backward and not worthy of a great nation.  And despite the fact that registration involves very little information, registrars do not verify the most important requirement for voting in America — citizenship.

DMV reports flawed SC voter ID list.  South Carolina election officials are using flawed data that include dead people as they deal with implementing a new state law requiring that people have photo identification when they cast ballots in person, according to an analysis by the Department of Motor Vehicles.  The South Carolina State Election Commission and the DMV had matched data on licenses, ID cards and voter records as part of the new law, now under review by the U.S. Justice Department.

Yes, Virginia, There Really Is Voter Fraud.  Eric Shawn at FOX News reports that two Troy city officials, the city clerk and a councilman, along with two Democratic political operatives, have pled guilty to forging absentee-ballot signatures and casting fraudulent ballots in the 2009 Working Families Party primary.  The WFP is the political party associated with ACORN.  One of the citizens whose votes were stolen was stunned at what happened.  She said that she was "sure this goes on a lot in politics, but it's very rare that they do get caught."

Officials Plead Guilty in New York Voter Fraud Case.  A total of four Democratic officials and political operatives have now pleaded guilty to voter fraud-related felony charges in an alleged scheme to steal a New York election.  The latest guilty pleas expose the ease with which political insiders can apparently manipulate the electoral system and throw an election their way, by the forging of signatures of unsuspecting voters that are then cast as real votes.

Indiana Lawmaker: Holder Absent on Primary Petition Fraud Case.  Republican Rep. Todd Rokita, who served eight years — from 2002 to 2010 — as Indiana's secretary of state, told Fox News that he has not received a response from Holder on either charges of election fraud in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary in his state or other issues of election integrity.

Voter fraud is real.  The state chairman of Indiana's Democratic Party resigned Monday [12/12/2011] as a probe of election fraud in the 2008 Democratic presidential primary widened.  State law requires a presidential candidate to gather 500 valid signatures in each county to qualify for the ballot.  Barack Obama may not have met it.  Investigators think 150 of the 534 signatures the Obama campaign turned in for St. Joseph County may have been forged.  Yet Democrats say that measures to guard against vote fraud are racist Republican plots to disenfranchise minority voters.

Voter ID Is Not Jim Crow.  In a speech at the LBJ Library at the University of Texas-Austin, Attorney General Eric Holder attacked efforts by state legislators to ensure the integrity of the ballot box.  In a setting obviously designed to evoke Lyndon Johnson's historic signing of the Voting Rights Act in 1965, Holder railed against voter-ID laws and other election-reform measures.  While minimizing the danger of fraud, Holder seemed oblivious to the irony of doing so at the LBJ Library:  It was, after all, the infamous Ballot Box 13 and the stolen 1948 election that launched LBJ's political career.

Signatures of Hitler, Mickey Mouse acceptable on Scott Walker recall petitions.  Adolf Hitler and Mickey Mouse signatures will be counted in the effort to recall Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, so long as they are properly dated and bear a Wisconsin address.  The Government Accountability Board reviewing the petitions unanimously approved a plan that would allow questionable names to be counted if they are signed within the circulation dates and have a proper address, WISN Milwaukee's Channel 12 is reporting.  According to the ABC affiliate, the suspicious names will be noted as such, but will not be eliminated without a challenge.

Mickey Mouse, Adolf Hitler Allowed On Wis. Recall Petitions.  The signatures of Mickey Mouse and Adolf Hitler will be counted on recall petitions targeting Gov. Scott Walker as long as they are properly dated and include a Wisconsin address, the board charged with reviewing the petitions was told Tuesday [12/13/2011].

Don't Dial ACLU-Heavy DOJ for Voter Fraud Protection.  If you thought the U.S. Justice Department under Attorney General Eric Holder was already shockingly biased toward far-left causes, get ready for a more permanent problem.  As Hans A. von Spakovsky has outlined in the first of five articles for Pajamas Media about DOJ's Civil Rights Division, Holder has hired 16 civil service employees — not political appointees — in the Voting Rights Section.  This means they will be part of the permanent bureaucracy.  It's part of an overall trend of loading the Civil Rights Division with card-carrying leftists despite Holder's promise to hire qualified people regardless of ideology.

President Obama's Justice Department Opposed Enforcement of Anti-Vote Fraud Laws.  President Obama's Justice Department is doing its part to maximize the Democratic turnout in the 2012 elections by filing "motor voter" suits across the country that claim state officials are not circulating voter registration forms in social service agencies.  The lawsuit filed against Louisiana this past summer is closely timed with a separate suit advanced by ACORN's Project Vote affiliate and the NAACP.

Absentee Ballot Fraud Could Derail Obama In 2012.  Rampant absentee ballot fraud is destroying democracy in Miami and across the United States.  County Commissioner Rebeca Sosa has proposed that anyone caught messing with absentee ballots will go to jail for 60 days and pay a $1,000 fine.  Ten of her colleagues agree on the plan, which will be voted on this month.  Sosa is also urging the state legislature to charge anyone who collects absentee ballots with a felony.  Why do we need such a plan?  The Miami-Dade ethics commission just concluded that three North Miami Beach residents' votes were stolen via the absentee ballot process.  But more and more, absentee ballot brokers are the key to every election.

12 charged with voter fraud in Georgia election.  Law enforcement officials have charged 12 people with using absentee ballots to skew an election in Georgia.  "As a result of their grand jury findings, 12 individuals were indicted in that particular matter and we will be trying that case in a court of judicial law instead of a court of public opinion," District Attorney Joe Mulholland told the local TV station, WALB.

Lena Taylor denies fraud allegation.  A conservative group is accusing state Sen. Lena C. Taylor of being "an accessory" to possible voter fraud after some 20 individuals, including a felon on work-release, voted in the April election listing as their residence a Milwaukee group home operated by Taylor's mother on property owned by the senator.  But the Milwaukee Democrat dismissed the allegations, saying her mother, Lena J. Taylor, was simply providing homeless and other individuals with a place to stay and then encouraging them to vote.

Democrat says Democratic Party bosses use voter fraud.  Top Democrats are aggressively pushing the claim that Republicans' worries about voter fraud are an insincere excuse to suppress voting by African-Americans and Hispanics.  But former Democratic Rep. Artur Davis told The Daily Caller that anti-fraud measures are needed to protect African-Americans from corrupt political bosses — many of them African-Americans themselves — who run Democratic Party machines in the South.

Collins, on 'Fox News,' ties fraud to Poloncarz.  The alleged tampering centers around at least 10 ballots that were mailed to absentee voters in Lackawanna who complained that the ballots already had been marked for Collins on either the Republican or Independence line.  The investigation is focused on a Democratic clerk at the Erie County Board of Elections, but county sheriff's investigators have emphasized that they do not suspect the tampering was linked in any way to the campaigns of either Collins or Poloncarz.

Voter Fraud Allegations Hit San Francisco Mayor's Race.  Shocking voter fraud allegations are rocking the mayor's race in San Francisco.  District Attorney George Gascon has launched an investigation and demands are growing for federal authorities to move in.  One campaign official fears the election could be stolen if nothing is done.  Supporters of incumbent Mayor Ed Lee, who is running for a full four-year term next month, are accused of illegally handling vote-by-mail ballots.




This just in:  Obama stole the 2008 election.

Fake signatures may mean Obama didn't actually qualify in Indiana.  Minus suspected fakes, then Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama likely fell short of the number of signatures needed to appear on the 2008 Indiana primary ballot, and it's possible his opponent, Hillary Clinton, did as well, according to information obtained by The Tribune as part of an investigation into suspected ballot petition fraud.

Clinton, Obama Indiana primary petitions tainted by forged signatures.  Several pages from petitions used to qualify Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama for the state's Democratic primary contain names and signatures that appear to have been copied by hand from a petition for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jim Schellinger.  The petitions were filed with the Indiana Election Division after the St. Joseph County Voter Registration Office verified individuals' information on the documents.  St. Joseph County Prosecutor Michael Dvorak's name appears twice on the Clinton petitions.

Huge Fraud in Obama's 2008 Indiana Nomination Petition?  According to the [South Bend Tribune]'s investigation, the evidence suggests that at least 19 pages of Obama's petitions were copied by two individuals.

Obama's Team Rejected Nomination Petition Signatures Because They Were in Print?  I had heard the stories of Obama winning his first primary by getting all of his opponents disqualified.  But I hadn't heard that the criteria for disqualifying his opponents was such a technicality.  Signatures were rejected because the names were printed?  People's signatures were actually thrown out because they weren't in cursive?  (This presumes that the board didn't have some other, oddly unstated reason to think that the printed names were fraudulent.)

Election Fraud Tainted the 2008 Presidential Race in Indiana.  Four Democratic party officials, including the St. Joseph County chairman Butch Morgan, have been charged with conspiracy, forgery, and official misconduct in the 2008 presidential primary election.  Morgan allegedly ordered three county officials to duplicate signatures from a 2008 petition for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jim Schellinger onto petitions for then-presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.  The Republican member of the Board of Voter Registration's signature, which is required for final authorization of all petitions, was apparently then rubber stamped without her knowledge.  In Indiana, a candidate must secure 500 signatures from each of the state's nine congressional districts in order to appear on the ballot.  Then-senator Barack Obama barely qualified for the ballot with 534 signatures.

Leaked Stratfor Emails: Democrats Manipulated The 2008 Election Results.  John McCain's 2008 campaign staff allegedly had evidence that Democrats stuffed ballot boxes in Pennsylvania and Ohio on election night, but McCain chose not to pursue voter fraud, according to internal Stratfor emails published by WikiLeaks.

The Editor says...
Next time, let's nominate somebody who wants to win.




Dead Voters in NY-9? Turner Obtains Order Sealing Paper Ballots.  Claiming a handful of deceased voters have been mailed absentee ballots for today's special election, an attorney for Republican congressional candidate Bob Turner told ABC News that he has obtained a court order to seal all paper ballots in New York's 9th Congressional District, pending judicial review.  "We found five dead people, confirmed, who were mailed absentee ballots," said Turner's attorney, Grant Lally.  "Some of these people have been dead for years."

Voting Early and Often in NC.  We keep hearing from the usual suspects on the Left that voter fraud is virtually non-existent, a figment of the collective imagination of eeevil racist voter-suppressing Republicans.  And then more evidence of voter fraud keeps surfacing.  In Wake County, North Carolina, Shelia Ramona Hodges, Kierra Fontae Leach, Brandon Earl McLean, and Lela Devonetta Murray have been charged with voting twice, a felony.

Voter fraud claims ruffle feathers in New Mexico.  Dianna Duran, New Mexico's secretary of State who took office in January, sounded a tad pugnacious in March when she reported that 117 foreign nationals with phony Social Security numbers had registered to vote and 37 had cast ballots in elections.

Wisconsin and the Voter Fraud Agenda.  In 2004, John Kerry won Wisconsin over George W. Bush by 11,380 votes out of 2.5 million cast.  After allegations of fraud surfaced, the Milwaukee police department's Special Investigative Unit conducted a probe.  Its February 2008 report found that from 4,600 to 5,300 more votes were counted in Milwaukee than the number of voters recorded as having cast ballots.  Absentee ballots were cast by people living elsewhere; ineligible felons not only voted but worked at the polls; transient college students cast improper votes; and homeless voters possibly voted more than once.  Much of the problem resulted from Wisconsin's same-day voter law, which allows anyone to show up at the polls, register and then cast a ballot.  ID requirements are minimal.  The report found that in 2004 a total of 1,305 "same day" voters were invalid.

It Strikes Me As Odd.  Why has massive voting fraud become so widespread and ubiquitous?  And why is it treated as if it were a force of nature — not laudable to be sure, but inevitable and unavoidable, sort of like a natural right of the minorities?  That's why the Democrats in Congress and their allies in the media react so violently to any attempt to infuse a measure of sanity into the voting process; that's why they proclaim the demand that prospective voters present an ID to be an unspeakable racist crime, an intolerable imposition.  To ask that people should actually go to the trouble of showing their driver's license (everybody drives, even the poorest of the poor, don't they?) or get an ID offered them free of charge by the government is portrayed as an inhuman atrocity, a flagrant violation of the people's sacred right to cheat.

Wisconsin's Election Snafu Is a National Wake-Up Call.  It's been over a decade since the Bush-Gore recount in Florida was supposed to spur a wholesale modernization of our election systems.  But a stunning mistake made by a Wisconsin county clerk in a nationally watched state Supreme Court race reminded us of how far we have to go. ... The Brookings Institution reports that in a 2004 poll of 37 nations, Americans were more likely than citizens of any country save Russia to say that their elections are "very dishonest."

One Woman, One Vote.  Voter integrity has always been an issue in America. If you've seen the movie Gangs of New York, set in the 1860s in New York City, there are scenes of the Irishmen voting, then having their hair cut to alter their appearance so that they can be sent back to vote again.  In recent times, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) has been charged with voter fraud.  In 2008, the bipartisan Elections Board of Lake County, Indiana, actually stopped processing a stack of about 5,000 applications delivered by ACORN just before the October 6 registration deadline after the first 2,100 turned out to be phony.

DA still probing voter fraud.  The Bucks County [PA] District Attorney's Office is still investigating allegations of voter fraud related to the application for absentee ballots in last fall's election.  A new election season heats up in Bucks County this month, but a loose end from the last one — a voter fraud investigation centering on 1,600 absentee ballot applications — still has not been tied up.

Family of Minnesota Man With Mental Disabilities Says He Is a Victim of Voter Fraud.  Minnesota resident Jim Stene voted last November — and thought he was casting his ballot for President Gerald Ford.  "He was exploited, plain and simple.  He was exploited," his father, Alan Stene, charges.  "This is a moral and ethical issue."

Safeguards must be installed to prevent voter fraud.  [Scroll down]  Regardless of assurances, I do not find a high degree of confidence in purely electronic voting machines.  Certainly, I am not confident that these machines can be rendered secure from undetectable tampering.  In my electoral district, these machines were adopted following the confusion of the presidential election recount in Florida in 2000.  But before the advent of these machines, we used paper ballots on which the voter used a pencil to complete an arrow next the candidate's name.  This ballot was scanned optically, but the paper ballot was retained as a backup.  This is a method that is unlikely to create confusion in the mind of the voter, yet is highly reliable.

Voter Fraud Indictments.  Two Democratic politicians in an upstate New York city have been charged in a "massive" voter fraud case first reported a year ago on Fox News.  A 59-page, 116-count indictment charges Troy Democratic City Councilman Michael LoPorto and Edward McDonough, Democratic Commissioner of the Rensselaer County Board of Elections, with forgery and criminal possession of a forged instrument.  The two men arrive in court in handcuffs on Friday [1/28/2011] and pleaded not guilty.

Democrats Charged in 'Massive' Voter Fraud Case.  Two Democratic politicians in an upstate New York city have been charged in a "massive" voter fraud case first reported a year ago on Fox News.  A 59-page, 116-count indictment charges Troy Democratic City Councilman Michael LoPorto and Edward McDonough, Democratic Commissioner of the Rensselaer County Board of Elections, with forgery and criminal possession of a forged instrument.  The two men arrive in court in handcuffs on Friday [1/28/2011] and pleaded not guilty.

Accusations of voter fraud for former Mountain Gate official.  The former manager of the Mountain Gate Community Services District faces six felony charges of voter fraud, three perjury charges and two counts of fraudulent voter registration.

ACORN leader avoids prison for voter fraud conspiracy.  A Las Vegas judge has spared senior ACORN executive Amy Adele Busefink jail time for her role in a notorious voter fraud conspiracy.  Judge Donald Mosley sentenced Busefink to two years imprisonment but suspended the jail time provided that she abides by the terms of her probation.  She was also fined a total of $4,000 and ordered to perform 100 hours of community service.  Prosecutors had argued for a fine of just $1,000.  Voter fraud, sometimes called electoral fraud, is a blanket term encompassing a host of election-related improprieties.

Widening the Margin of Voter Fraud.  For some time, the right has come to understand the direct relationship between massive fraudulent voter enrollment by activist groups and the propensity for voter fraud in absentee ballots.  What is truly breathtaking is the shift in strategy for how operatives of the left actively engage in these tactics.  We still see and will likely continue to be exposed to the stereotypical case of the mysterious "disappearing/reappearing voting machines" or the throngs of dead that vote Democratic.  However, these criminal activities are usually carried out by groups, campaigns, or organizations.  We are just now beginning to witness the fruits of the institutionalization of fraud among individuals.

Vote Fraud as a Democrat Strategy.  The Democratic Party's message to politically involved citizens is unmistakably dire.  For those who attempt to expose voter fraud, expect to be harassed and even sued. ... Voter fraud has become a pivotal strategy for the progressives.  This is why they are coordinating such vicious attacks against honest citizens working to combat electoral corruption.  Only with chicanery can collectivists successfully implement their social justice agenda rejected by most Americans.

Grand jurors hear from witnesses in ballot scandal.  A Rensselaer County grand jury asked how absentee ballots were handled last year as it probed an alleged voting fraud scandal, a witness said Tuesday [12/7/2010] after she emerged from testifying.

Voting Twice?  Ballot Questions in Congressional Race.  The closest Congressional race in the nation could be decided by people who don't really live in the district, and a Fox News investigation has uncovered evidence of voter registration illegalities, including one voter who apparently voted twice.

18 Former ACORN Workers Have Been Convicted or Admitted Guilt in Election Fraud.  The scandal-plagued ACORN may no longer exist, but its tarnished legacy lives on in court, as the activist group and its former employees face criminal punishment.  So far this year, at least 18 former workers have admitted guilt or been convicted on varying charges of election fraud.  The punishment has ranged from probation to several months of prison time.

Massive Voting Fraud Reported in Massachusetts.  The ballot box is one of American democracy's secular sacred spaces, where the fact that you voted may be public, but whom you voted for is your own private business.  Unless, that is, you happen to be in one of the low-income communities targeted for "help" from the community organizers of Neighbor to Neighbor Massachusetts, where individuals may just need a little extra guidance to ensure they vote the correct way.

Dems pull another dirty election fraud scheme out of the hamper.  Just when you think the Dems have thought of it all, another corrupt attempt at scamming the election process enters their heads.  This time it involved PA US House #8, Bucks County, just north of Philadelphia.  The race between Dem incumbent Patrick Murphy and his GOP contender Mike Fitzpatrick.  When the Dems were fearing a loss of this seat they cooked up an elaborate scheme in an attempt to grab more Dem votes, their prey this time:  absentee voters.  The scheme entailed a letter from the fictitious "Pennsylvania Voter Assistance Office" they conjured up, warning people "your vote may be in jeopardy if you don't return the enclosed application by Oct. 20."  Only one little problem.  The enclosed return envelope was directed to a Dem P.O. Box in Bristol, PA, not the county Board of Elections office.

Who Is Trying to Contact Absentee Voters in NY-25?  I just received this from the campaign of Ann Marie Buerkle, Republican candidate in New York's 25th Congressional District, one of the House races not yet settled.  This seems... ominous.

Missouri GOP congressional candidate alleges foul play at the polls.  Republican congressional candidate Ed Martin, who ran in Missouri's 3rd District against incumbent Democrat Russ Carnahan, is calling for an investigation into possible voter fraud in St. Louis during Tuesday's midterm election.  Martin is alleging that, because of a seven-hour failure of the voter verification system that checks whether people who show up at the polls are in fact eligible to vote, there is a possibility that ineligible voters were able to cast ballots in favor of his opponent.

E-mail shows illegal activity in Reid's campaign.  Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., may have beaten back challenger Sharron Angle and retained his post as the majority leader, but his campaign and one of his biggest supporters may have violated federal law to do so.

Vote Fraud Threatens Election Outcome.  While Republicans and the Tea Party movement are poised to win a sweeping victory on November 2, a large and growing cloud hangs over the entire election process.  While it has always been with us to some extent, new technologies, new forms of voting and a Justice Department that plays favorites with Americans' voting rights now threaten our electoral system and our expectations of free and fair elections.

Poll Watching Battle in Harris County.  The governor's race gets a lot of attention in Harris County, but the real battle is shaping up to be poll watching.  The Harris County Attorney's Office predicts Harris County will have the biggest group of poll watchers this country has ever seen.

Union Accused of Voter Fraud Involving Mentally Handicapped.  Authorities in Crow Wing County are investigating possible voter fraud involving people with mental disabilities.  An affidavit, filed Monday [11/1/2010] by Brainerd resident Montgomery Jensen, claims a large group of mentally handicapped people were told whom to vote for by mental health staff members and that staff filled out the ballots themselves without the disabled voters close by.

Stopping Voter Fraud.  Some citizens' groups, like Election Integrity Watch in Minneapolis, plan to deploy their own poll watchers.  "Our mission is to ensure fair and honest elections," said Jeff Davis, a founder of Election Integrity Watch and President of the conservative advocacy group, Minnesota Majority. ... Just last week authorities in Minnesota charged 47 people with voter fraud from the 2008 election, and Davis believes the actual number is higher this year.

Santa Clara County employees scrubbing mail ballots with rubber erasers.  Ballot counting in Santa Clara County has been in turmoil since last week, when the optical scanners reading hundreds of thousands of vote-by-mail ballots began spitting them out.  The problem?  Printing smudges that no one noticed before ballots went to voters.  So with today's election looming, county workers, buttressed by volunteers and extra-help staff, have been racking up overtime since Wednesday [10/27/2010], poring through every ballot and attacking smear marks with rubber erasers.

Vote Fraud Essential to Democrats.  Rush Limbaugh points out that even a small influx of cash into your state Secretary of State race can make a huge difference.

Beware of epidemic voter fraud.  Double-check that your ballot reads correctly before leaving the polling booth. ... Nevada and North Carolina are among states where early voters reported trying to cast ballots for Republicans only to see their votes registered for Democrats instead.  Counties in Texas and Arizona caught and blocked thousands of improper attempts to register "voters" who weren't eligible, if they even existed.  Multiple states have counties with more people on voter rolls than adult citizens who live there.  Absentee-ballot snafus are widespread.  At least 5,800 dead people were registered to vote in Ohio as of late August; 16 or more recorded votes there in 2006 despite being deceased.

Illinois Hardball Politics: "Democrats Are Prepared to Steal This Election".  [Scroll down]  "Your readers need to understand that this amounts to $1 million of walking around money for Alexi Giannoulias," one insider warned.  "This is money that very well could be used to literally buy the election at the street level."  My source said he's been reliably informed by his Democratic counterparts that the White House weeks ago decreed that holding the Illinois Senate seat was a top priority, approving a no-holds-barred approach to boosting Giannoulias.  "They essentially said, 'do whatever it takes,' and Illinois Democrats know what that means," he explained.  "They are prepared to steal this election, which should come as no surprise.  Just ask Norm Coleman."

Did someone mention Norm Coleman?

It Takes One To Know One.  I'll never forget how Al Gore's Democrats tried to steal the 2000 presidential election and then spent the next eight years complaining about Republicans stealing their "democracy."  Liberals:  Projection is your name.  We've watched their behavior since, from the Democrats' suppression of military voters to Al Franken's larcenous Senate victory to the flagrant voter intimidation of the New Black Panther Party members in Philadelphia to untold stories of voter fraud already emerging in these congressional elections.  We just saw a Delaware TV station "forgetting" to broadcast Christine O'Donnell's 30-minute campaign ad.  Sadly, Democrats are often what they accuse their "enemies" of being.  They typically engage in that behavior which they decry and exempt themselves from standards they proclaim.

Sides rally during absentee ballot hearing.  One side wants all votes counted, while the other says it's the rule of law that should count.  Democrats and Republicans rallied outside the Bucks County Courthouse Friday [10/29/2010] as a Board of Elections hearing debated what should be done with more than 900 rejected absentee ballot applications and the potential of even more challenges of actual ballots.

Citizens Attacked by Soros-Funded Political Machine.  Catherine Engelbrecht and King Street Patriots, a group of citizen-volunteers, are working to ensure our elections are free and fair, from registration to the casting of votes.  These good citizens discovered violations like multiple voter registrations for one person and registering noncitizens to vote, and they are now being attacked by the Texas Democratic Party as well as two George Soros-funded groups.  We're fighting back!

Poll Watcher Witnesses Misconduct in Houston.  We are hearing stories about voter fraud and leftist shenanigans from all over.  For instance, watch this video of a poll watcher's story about what she has seen during early voting in Houston, Texas.  This is eyewitness testimony to voter fraud in the form of a poll worker casting votes on behalf of voters...

On the Road With the King Street Patriots of Houston, Texas.  The left is in high dudgeon here in the 18th Congressional District in Houston, Texas.  Democrat Representative Sheila Jackson Lee, a long-time left-winger, has held this seat since 1995 and she isn't going to go away quietly.  She is quite upset at the gall of a new conservative group that launched a poll watching effort in her district.

Texas Patriots Facing The Left's Smear Machine.  True The Vote made news early this month when initiative Chief Catherine Engelbrecht discovered that a former Service Employee International Union (SEIU) member had turned in over 23 thousand fraudulent voter registration cards.  Englebrecht and the King Streeters then decided that they would initiate a grassroots poll-watching effort to make sure that the election was fair and that all laws and regulations were properly observed. ... Engelbrecht and the King Streeters fanned out across Harris County to observe — and report if necessary — any improprieties they encountered at voting places, many in minority communities.  The reaction was quick and virulently negative.

The Democrats' Final Recourse:  Massive Vote Fraud.  Boulder City, NV resident Joyce Ferrara says that when she and several others went to vote for Sharon Angle, they found that Senator Harry Reid's name was already checked off.  In Dallas County, TX's congressional district 30, Democrat Eddie Bernice Johnson's name was the only one on the ballot in a few locations (no, she isn't running unopposed).  And some states have been late in mailing out military absentee ballots, whose recipients, interestingly, are known for their Republican leanings.  These happenings are generally referred to as "mistakes" and "glitches," but if that's all they are, then we're witnessing a truly historic anomaly.  Because either the mainstream media is now suppressing stories of mistakes and glitches benefiting Republicans, or the laws of probability have suddenly been rescinded and tossed coins are coming up donkey tails every time.

The Left's Voter Fraud Whitewash.  Denial isn't just a river in Egypt.  It's the Democrats' coping mechanism for midterm election voter fraud.  Faced with multiple reports of early voting irregularities and election shenanigans across the country, left-wing groups are playing dumb, deaf and blind.  Voter fraud?  What voter fraud?  More cunningly, these organizations are seeking to marginalize complaints about election integrity by casting citizen watchdog efforts as racist "scare tactics."

O'Keefe video appears to show New Jersey union official describing voter fraud.  A new video by conservative activist James O'Keefe appears to show a New Jersey union official describing voter fraud during a Jersey City mayor's race several years ago.  O'Keefe would not tell The Daily Caller how he obtained what appears to be audio of Wayne Dibofsky, the associate director of the New Jersey Education Association, admitting that voter fraud took place inside the union's Jersey City office in 1997.

Voter Fraud anyone?  I never "early-vote" because voting on Nov. 2 is like Christmas to me.  It's symbolic, I like the day, I get all jazzed to go do it and I wear my "I voted" sticker on my forehead for the whole day.  I've always been suspicious of early voting.  Why give the crooks two whole weeks to pull off their ballot stuffing?  One day is time enough!  Make them scramble, I say.  But this year I noticed an early voting sign at the village and I decided I had the time and, being a busy mom, who knows what my Nov. 2 will look like this year.  So I tried to vote.  This was the beginning of a crazy chain of events that are still unfolding.

Absentee voter fraud investigation opened.  An investigation has been opened into possible absentee voter fraud regarding suspicious applications received by the Houston County Circuit Clerk's Office.  At a press conference Wednesday [10/20/2010], Houston County Circuit Clerk Carla Woodall, who is acting as the absentee ballot manager, said she recently found absentee voter applications that were troubling because the voters had voted absentee several times and handwriting on the applications matched handwriting on other applications.  Woodall sent 89 absentee voting applicants letters asking them to submit additional proof of eligibility to vote absentee.

In Alaska, The Dead Can Rise.  With two weeks to go in the election, Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski's once-mocked write-in bid to retain her seat is no longer a laughing matter.  Three straight polls have put her just two points or less behind Joe Miller, who bested her for the GOP nomination.  Murkowski may yet become the first person to get into the Senate via write-in ballots since South Carolina Dixiecrat Strom Thurmond managed it in 1954.

The Democrats Will Steal the Election if We Let Them.  The longstanding Democrat tactic of stealing elections threatens a reappearance on November 2.  It would be foolish to pretend otherwise and rely on the voters' voice to be heard merely because the public has turned on the Democrats. ... It will serve us well to take a close look at the Democrat record in this matter, consider what they may be up to regarding this election, and, the most serious question of all, ask why the GOP lets them get away with it.  Democrats and election-stealing by any means necessary go back a long way.

Fighting Voter Fraud.  Finding faulty voter lists and other examples of voter fraud may become a major future battle to be fought by other grassroots activists in the years ahead.  This problem has worsened as billions of stimulus dollars flow toward labor unions and community organizing groups committed to registering voters — particularly in poor and minority-dominated areas.

Democrat Dirty Tricks:  A Primer on Stealing Elections.  [Scroll down]  The role of Secretaries of State should not be ignored, either.  These are the officials charged with ensuring the integrity of the voting process.  Yet many of them have been elected through the efforts of the Democracy Alliance, a group of super-wealthy liberals (led by George Soros), Democratic operatives, and union leaders.  This group's agenda is to ensure that politicians they choose to support are elected to these crucial posts.  These are officers who are responsible for voting rolls being purged of ineligible voters.  Minnesota's Secretary of State was helped by this group, and it appears that Democratic Senator Al Franken may very well been elected in a narrow win over Republican Norm Coleman with the help of votes that should never have been counted.

Sneak Preview:  The Hijacking of the 2010 Election.  Through a combination of massive, Somali-driven voter fraud, stunning Election Board incompetence, and the willful blindness of the Kansas City Star, machine Democrat J.J. Rizzo managed to beat conservative Democrat Will Royster by one vote in a Missouri State House primary on August 3. ... Royster, a retired Navy fighter pilot and all-around good citizen, asks a fundamental question:  "If we won't let Somalis hijack our ships, why do we let them hijack our elections?"  As many as a hundred Somalis voted, nearly all of them illegally, likely all of them for Royster's opponent, in a House district in which only 1,300 people showed up to vote.

Florida Case Puts Focus on Issue of Absentee Ballot Fraud.  When police raided Daytona Beach City Commissioner Derrick Henry's office this week and seized his computer, they say they discovered evidence of what election experts say has become a rampant, largely ignored and troubling issue in Florida — the widespread abuse of absentee ballots.  Police say Henry's computer was used to obtain dozens of absentee ballots prior to the city's Aug. 24 elections, in which he was re-elected.

City official convicted of voter fraud.  A Bolivar city councilwoman has been convicted of three felony counts of procuring an illegal vote and faces a possible sentence of one to two years on each count.  Brenda Woods was found guilty of the charges Friday [10/1/2010] after a two-day jury trial, according to a news release Monday from District Attorney General Mike Dunavant.

Citizens' Group Helps Uncover Alleged Rampant Voter Fraud in Houston.  When Catherine Engelbrecht and her friends sat down and started talking politics several years ago, they soon agreed that talking wasn't enough.  They wanted to do more.  So when the 2008 election came around, "about 50" of her friends volunteered to work at Houston's polling places.  "What we saw shocked us," she said.  "There was no one checking IDs, judges would vote for people that asked for help.  It was fraud, and we watched like deer in the headlights."

Local Tea Party group may have uncovered massive vote fraud in Texas.  True the Vote appears to have made some pretty significant discoveries, including one blockbuster revelation possibly connecting the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) to vote fraud in Houston.

Tea Party Vs. SEIU.  [Catherine Engelbrecht] and her associates collected publicly available polling data to prove that the fraudulent voting they saw was real, rampant and organized. ... One woman was found to have registered six times in one day.  There were 1,597 registrations that named the same person with a variety of signatures.  One person turned in more registrations in one day than was physically possible.  "Vacant lots had several voters registered on them.  An eight-bed halfway house had more than 40 voters registered at its address," according to Engelbrecht.  "We then decided to look at who was registering the voters."  It turned out most of the fraudulent registrations were done by a group called Houston Votes, headed by Sean Castle, who also works for the Service Employees International Union.

Obama activist is connected to vote fraud in Houston uncovered by local Tea Party group.  The [Washington] Examiner first reported on this weeks ago, and that was followed by this Fox News report, but a local Tea Party group appears to have uncovered some serious allegations of vote fraud by a group run by an SEIU official.  Blogger Patterico takes a closer look at the story and finds that the group is also connected to controversial activist with Obama's Organizing for America campaign group.

Obama Activist Tied in With Organization Accused of Voter Fraud.  You may have read that there is strong evidence of voter fraud in Houston.  Here's what you may not have heard:  the organization accused of shady behavior is linked to a former head of an Obama campaign office.  She is a fan of Che Guevara.  She is also the person who invited to a town hall meeting a woman who then posed as a doctor at that meeting during the health care debate.

Update:
Election Fraud Uncovered by Patriotic Citizens ... Who Promptly Get Sued.  Election watchers True the Vote have found disturbing amounts of fraud in Harris County, Texas.  Rather than support their important work, the Texas Democratic Party (among others) is suing them.

Combating Voter Fraud.  The Democrat party is in public opinion freefall as a result of the disastrous policies of the Obama administration aided and abetted by a Democrat controlled congress.  Barring an "October surprise" it is likely that most mid term elections will be won by the Republican candidate.  That is, however, only if Democrat voter fraud can be kept to a minimum.

Working 'Sham'-ilies.  A former employee of the Working Families Party says he was so disturbed by the labor-backed group's practices that he walked out after only one week on the job.  In an exclusive interview, Brooklyn resident Patrick Crooks said he was encouraged by higher-ups to falsify names and addresses on sign-up sheets supporting the left-wing party's push to repeal a state law that took rent regulation out of the city's hands and gave it to the state.

Felons indicted for illegal voting.  Tennessee is cracking down on those who vote illegally, and eight persons were recently indicted for doing just that, District Attorney General Phil Bivens said.  The names of those indicted will not be released until the people have been apprehended and appear in Dyer County Circuit Court.

Fighting Election Fraud.  This article raises the question:  "What can the concerned voter/citizen do to protect the integrity of our elections?"  Ten women in Wisconsin began working on that question right after the 2008 presidential election.  We studied the laws, we "watched," and we gave public comment on proposed legislative and administrative changes to Wisconsin election laws.  Our overall goal became to promote photo voter ID legislation and support legislators who would enact such a law in Wisconsin.  As we "watched" and participated, we learned quite a bit about our elections process and its problems.

New Documentary Alleges That Obama Stole The Primary Election From Hillary.  Amidst recent charges that the New Black Panther Party intimidated voters outside a Philadelphia polling place in 2008, a new documentary called We Will Not Be Silenced charges that this was not an isolated incident.  The film's director Gigi Gaston appeared on Fox and Friends this weekend and was introduced by host Alyson Camerota who claimed that "the 2008 primary race between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton was rife with stories of voter intimidation and voting violations."

The film's promotional web site:
We Will Not Be Silenced.  This documentary is about the disenfranchising of American citizens by the Democratic Party and the Obama Campaign.  We the People have made this film.  Democrats have sent in their stories from all parts of America.  We want to be heard and let the country know how our party has sanctioned the actions of what we feel are Obama Campaign "Chicago Machine" dirty politics.  We believe this infamous campaign of "change" from Chicago encouraged and created an army to steal caucus packets, falsify documents, change results, allow unregistered people to vote, scare and intimidate Hillary supporters, stalk them, threaten them, lock them out of their polling places, silence their voices and stop their right to vote, which is, of course, all documented in "We Will Not Be Silenced."

Democrat Voter Fraud is Far More Widespread Than You Think.  [Scroll down]  As explained on the We Will Not Be Silenced website, "'Change' from Chicago encouraged and created an army to steal caucus packets, falsify documents, change results, allow unregistered people to vote, scare and intimidate Hillary supporters, stalk them, threaten them, lock them out of their polling places, silence their voices and stop their right to vote." ... [P]eople around the country are finally waking up to the fact that Democrat voter fraud is a far, far bigger problem than anyone had ever realized.

Serious Questions Raised About Obama Tactics in 2008 Election.  Recently AIM interviewed Gigi Gaston, director of the documentary film, "We Will Not Be Silenced."  The film documents voter intimidation and corruption by forces working for then-candidate Barack Obama at Democratic precinct caucuses and state conventions during the 2008 Presidential primary.  The filmmaker is surprising in that she is a lifelong Democrat, whose grandfather was the mayor of Boston and later the governor of Massachusetts, and she is a Hollywood screenwriter.

Documentary to Reveal the Extent of 2008 Voter Fraud.  The New Black Panther case — think that was an isolated incident?  It certainly wasn't.  That type of lawless behavior got started in the primaries.  I listened to first-hand accounts of Obama's supporters threatening Clinton's.  I heard accounts of Obama supporters stopping fellow Democrats from voting Hillary by any means possible — intimidation, locking doors to prevent entry, sending elderly voters to the wrong address, putting false start times on buildings, fabricating counts, using false information on caucus sign-in sheets, even stealing and altering caucus results.  I recorded eyewitness accounts of people being bussed in from out of state to caucus in Indiana.  And in Kansas.  And Iowa.  I heard of addresses and names being copied out of the phone book to nudge the results towards Obama.

Did someone mention the Black Panthers scandal?

Former ACORN Employees Tell FBI Of Deliberate Election Fraud.  New documents have been obtained and released by Judicial Watch, a watchdog organization that keeps an eye on government corruption, that shines more light on the dismembered ACORN organization.  The documents show of election fraud as an employee told the FBI that ACORN was "working for the Democratic Party."

Did someone mention ACORN?

SLED investigates voter fraud in Dillon County.  Chief Deputy Larry Abraham with the Dillon County Sheriff's Department says SLED is investigating allegations of voter fraud in the Dillon County Democratic primary in June.  A 29-year-old Dillon woman, who asked that she not be identified, told us and police a man gave her $20 and a brand new dress in exchange for her vote by absentee ballot.

Democrats and Vote Fraud:  On the Road to Rigged Elections.  Lest we forget, Democrats were not given a mandate in 2008 to nationalize General Motors, the insurance industry, and health care.  Most Americans want government to be less expensive, less intrusive, and more accountable.  Yet despite the looming prospect of electoral dismemberment in November, the Democrats continue pushing a radical agenda:  piling up debt and creating new entitlements, with crushing tax increases inevitably to follow.  Why the evident lack of concern?  Perhaps they intend to cheat.

Help Stop Vote Fraud in Your Hometown.  Vote fraud attacks the heart of our political system and threatens our rights as citizens.  When True the Vote began monitoring elections last fall in Houston, we were shocked at the fraud we discovered.  Precinct judges often failed to check voters IDs, and some even filled out ballots to "help" people vote.  These violations are just the tip of a very large and ugly iceberg.  And if widespread fraud is happening here, it's probably happening in your home town, too.

Frances Fox Piven Joins Board of Project Vote.  While ACORN has earned much of the scorn of the press and public in recent months, its voter registration arm, Project Vote, is actually the entity that has been conducting the questionable voter registration drives.  Project Vote has been accused of voter registrations fraud in more than a dozen states.  Its parent group ACORN, along with a staff member, are scheduled to be tried for fraud in Nevada in a matter of days.  Recently, ACORN was nailed under the RICO Act in Ohio and ordered to never come back to the state.

She Wouldn't Harm a Fly.  Frances Fox Piven is a sociology professor who for four decades has advocated violent social upheaval as a means of effecting the radical change she believes in.

Wisconsin and the Voter Fraud Agenda.  An attempt to hijack the state's election laws and open the door for voter fraud failed at the last minute this week in Wisconsin's legislature.  But threats to ballot integrity continue in other states, and Congress may rush to pass ill-conceived legislation this year that would only sow confusion and increase the potential for chaos on a national level.  Wisconsin's story shows how high the stakes are.  Late in March, a 72-page bill was suddenly introduced and rushed forward with only abbreviated hearings.  The bill would have given "nationally recognized" community organizing groups access to the state driver's license database to encourage voter turnout.

Invasion of the Election Snatchers.  Even in an economic recession, Americans in urban areas continue to buy second homes in rural parts of the country, frequently helping to revitalize depressed areas.  Inevitably, though, political operatives have also been seizing on weekend residents as a way to change the political complexion of rural communities.

Cloward-Piven Government.  [Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven] implemented the strategy by creating a succession of radical organizations, most notable among them the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), with the help of veteran organizer Wade Rathke.  Their crowning achievement was the "Motor Voter" act, signed into law by Bill Clinton in 1993 with Cloward and Piven standing behind him.  As we now know, ACORN was one of the chief drivers of high-risk mortgage lending that eventually led to the financial crisis.  But the Motor Voter law was another component of the strategy.  It created vast vulnerabilities in our electoral system, which ACORN then exploited.

Woman indicted on voter-fraud charges.  A 24-year-old Columbus woman was indicted today [11/19/2009] for allegedly falsifying applications for absentee ballots for the casino issue that passed Nov. 3.  Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien announced that a grand jury indicted Deshara M. McKinney, 24, on two counts of voter fraud for securing false signatures.

Voter fraud probe nets a fifth suspect.  An investigation into the stuffing of ballot boxes in Essex County continues to widen, with a fifth person indicted yesterday for election fraud.  The criminal probe by the state Division of Criminal Justice and the Essex County prosecutor has been focusing not only on campaign workers, but on county workers as well as it examines dozens of absentee ballots cast in the 2007 election of state Sen. Teresa Ruiz (D-Essex).

Voter Fraud:  Extensive voter fraud has persisted to this day.  Former Justice Department official Hans von Spakovsky discusses in a recent Heritage Foundatioin report a shocking 1982 election for Governor in Illinois in which 10% of the votes cast in Chicago, 100,000 overall, were found to be fraudulent by a federal grand jury investigation that produced 63 criminal convictions for vote fraud.

Man admits voting for Obama in late wife's name.  A Wisconsin man has acknowledged that he illegally cast an absentee ballot for Barack Obama in his wife's name to fulfill her dying wish.  Stephen Wroblewski of Milwaukee said Wednesday he plans to plead guilty to voter fraud to end the embarrassing episode.

ACORN Throws Out Republican Voter Registrations.  ACORN wants people to register to vote — as long as they're Democrats.  Republican registrations go into the trash.  Here is a first-hand account of how it happens.

The Nine Voting Lives of ACORN's Darnell Nash.  The activist group ACORN, which has long worked with criminals as it preys on the weak and the troubled, is on the verge of yet another public relations catastrophe.  That's because a cross-dressing Ohio male escort whom ACORN registered multiple times to vote was convicted of full-fledged vote fraud in addition to the lesser crime of voter registration fraud.  A spokesman for Cleveland prosecutor Bill Mason confirmed yesterday [10/7/2009] that a local investigation of ACORN remains wide open.

When Will a National Voter Fraud Investigation of ACORN Begin?  Whatever happened with the investigation into ACORN and the 2008 election?  The organization did register a mere 1,315,037 voters by October for the 2008 presidential election.  And, we must not forget about the Minnesota fiasco in which Minnesotans ended up with Senator Al Franken even though Norm Coleman led by 725 votes — the morning after the election!

In 5-Year Effort, Scant Evidence of Voter Fraud.  Although Republican activists have repeatedly said fraud is so widespread that it has corrupted the political process and, possibly, cost the party election victories, about 120 people have been charged and 86 convicted as of last year.  Most of those charged have been Democrats, voting records show.

The Stunning Reality of Voter Fraud:  The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel initiated an investigation of the 2004 presidential election in Wisconsin, which had one of the closest results, with Kerry winning the state by only 11,000 votes.  The newspaper investigation resulted in a probe by U.S. Attorney Steve Biskupic and Milwaukee County District Attorney E. Michael McCann that found clear evidence of fraud in the election, including more than 200 felons who voted illegally and another 100-plus people who voted under bad addresses or false names or who voted twice.

Voter fraud charges deserve investigation.  They very well may be innocent coincidences, but voter confidence in the integrity of elections is too important to allow the Palm Beach County Republican Party's allegations of double-voting go without a thorough investigation.  Local party leaders say they found 60 instances in which people with the exact same name and birth date voted both in Palm Beach County and in New York in the November elections.

Charges filed after voter fraud probe.  Some 16 months after Bexar County District Attorney Susan Reed boldly declared that she wouldn't tolerate undocumented people "illegally voting in my county," a lengthy voter fraud investigation has concluded with the filing of low-level charges.  The charges filed in late July against just two people, both U.S. citizens, were for perjury, a misdemeanor.

Man convicted of double voting.  Sure, Michael Zore told police, he'd voted twice in last November's election, using the city hall polling stations of two different Milwaukee County suburbs in the space of six hours.  The evidence against him included him signing up to vote using a false address in West Allis, after he'd already voted in Wauwatosa.  But Zore, 44, told a jury Wednesday there was a good reason he shouldn't be convicted of felony counts of double voting and giving a poll worker false information:  He forgot.

Democrat Vote Buying filmed by TV Camera Crew.  The progressive citizens of Wisconsin have reason to worry that Chicago-style vote-buying is creeping north from Illinois.  The NBC affiliate in Milwaukee has just filmed Democratic campaign workers handing out small amounts of money and free food to residents at a home for the mentally ill in Kenosha after which the patients were shepherded into a separate room and given absentee ballots.  One of the Democratic Party workers fled when she saw the NBC camera.

US Sues Missouri Over Voters in 2004 Election.  The U.S. Justice Department has sued Missouri, a swing state won easily by President George W. Bush, for voting violations in the 2004 election, including registering more people to vote in some counties than their entire voting-age population.

Voter Turnout or Voter Fraud?  A coalition of liberal groups is attacking any election officials who try to investigate fraud in voter registration drives.  Led by Jesse Jackson, People for the American Way, the NAACP and other groups, the coalition claims that attempts to prevent fraudulent voter registration should be considered "voter intimidation" and "suppression."

Officials Investigate Three Alabama Counties in Voter Fraud Accusations.  Federal and state authorities are looking into accusations of voting fraud in three largely black counties of Alabama, including Perry and Lowndes Counties, which played a historic role in the struggle for black voting rights in the 1960s.  In May, a local citizens group gathered affidavits detailing several cases in which at least one Democratic county official paid citizens for their votes, or encouraged them to vote multiple times.

Obama juices the streets.  It's called "street money" and it is a practice that most big city Democratic machines use to scare up votes on election day.  The actual mechanics vary from city to city but it usually involves hundreds of people getting thousands of dollars in walking around money that they can use at their discretion to get people to the polls.  The prospects for fraud are great, of course.

Widow Fears Voter Fraud.  Voter fraud is a serious concern on the mind of one Jacksonville woman after she said she received a voter registration form in the mail addressed to her late husband.  Della Laliberte, a widow who lives on the Northside, said her husband Horace died 47 years ago.  However, recently she said he was mailed a letter containing special instructions to register to vote in the upcoming presidential election.

Six Alabama counties have more registered voters than adults of voting age.  Greene County, for example, had 7,540 people on its voter rolls at the end of September, but the Census Bureau estimates its adult population at 6,834.  Secretary of State Beth Chapman says her staff is reviewing the numbers because bloated voter rolls can provide an opportunity for election fraud.

Making a Dent in Liberal Disinformation:  Voter Disenfranchisement.  Democrats have never been known to cast fraudulent ballots, eh, Mayor Daley?  We won't go into the NAACP allegedly paying Chad Staton in crack cocaine to register such stalwart Dems as Dick Tracy, Mary Poppins, and Janet Jackson in Ohio.  Or the 8,000 fraudulent Democratic voter registrations discovered in Lansing, Michigan.  That's "Get out the Vote."

Washington County DA looking into suspicious absentee ballots.  Washington County [Alabama] officials said Wednesday [7/19/2006] that they are unsure about their next step in dealing with 57 absentee ballots sent to a McIntosh woman's home and restaurant before Tuesday's runoff election.

Two indicted in P.G. vote fraud case.  Two key players in alleged voter fraud in the Penns Grove Democrat Primary Election have been indicted by a Salem County Grand Jury, according to court officials.  Anavia Green, 54, of Madole Place in Penns Grove, was indicted on Dec. 20 on a charge of forgery, according to Salem County Criminal Case Management.  Green was a ballot messenger in the primary election.

Stealing Elections:  How Voter Fraud Threatens Our Democracy.  The Florida Fiasco of 2000, with hanging chads, butterfly ballots and Supreme Court intervention, forced Americans to confront an ugly reality.  The U.S. has the sloppiest election systems of any industrialized nation, so sloppy that at least eight of the 19 hijackers who attacked the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were actually able to register to vote in either Virginia or Florida while they made their deadly preparations for 9/11.

One-third of Zimbabwe registered voters are dead.  Nearly one-third of Zimbabwe's registered voters are dead, and others appear to be babies or up to 120 years old, researchers said Friday [1/21/2011], calling for the list to be overhauled so that the upcoming election cannot be rigged.

Did someone mention Zimbabwe?

Researchers Hack Voting Machine for $26.  Campaigning for the 2012 presidential race has already begun, but what the candidates don't know is that come election day, hackers could be the ones whose votes have the biggest impact.  Researchers from the Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois have developed a hack that, for about $26 and an 8th-grade science education, can remotely manipulate the electronic voting machines used by millions of voters all across the U.S.

The people who cast the votes decide nothing.
The people who count the votes decide everything."

The Ohio Subsection

After reading about voting irregularities in the news for the last few year, I've noticed that one state seems to be mentioned more than any other.

Ohio high court tosses 1,000 ballots in tight race.  The Ohio Supreme Court on Friday threw out about 1,000 provisional ballots that had been improperly filled out by voters in a tight congressional race.  In a 4-2 decision, the court struck down Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner's directive that said the votes should be counted. ... Justices said Brunner improperly instructed county elections officials to apply conflicting standards to election law by ruling that the votes should be counted, even though the envelopes failed to comply with legal guidelines set out before Nov. 4.

Hijinks Mar Ohio Vote.  "Ecuador has more voting integrity than we have here in East Cleveland today."  That is the considered opinion of a Republican attorney who is helping to monitor elections in Cuyahoga County, Ohio.  He requested anonymity to avoid drawing attention to his employer.  I have known him for years as an honest and very serious patriot and consider his comments reliable.  He rang me to discuss the shenanigans that he and other Republican poll watchers have witnessed today in greater Cleveland.

Homeless 'Driven' to Vote for Obama.  Volunteers supporting Barack Obama picked up hundreds of people at homeless shelters, soup kitchens and drug-rehab centers and drove them to a polling place yesterday [10/6/2008] on the last day that Ohioans could register and vote on the same day, almost no questions asked.  The huge effort by a pro-Obama group, Vote Today Ohio, takes advantage of a quirk in the state's elections laws that allows people to register and cast ballots at the same time without having to prove residency.

Voter-fraud Chaos.  Developments in several states create the possibility that the 2008 vote could result in "Election Month," rather than Election Day.  Court rulings on various absentee-voting procedures — along with early voting and other new forms of balloting — open the door to widespread abuses that could undermine the election.  The possibility of voter fraud or voting irregularities on a massive scale could provide a multistate repeat of Florida 2000.  A perfect example is Ohio.

Campaign Dynamics, Fraud Potential Impacted by Early Voting.  Three years ago, Ohio changed its law to allow absentee voting to begin 35 days before Election Day, which is Sept. 30 this year.  But residents of the state are allowed to register to vote as late as Oct. 6, creating a one-week overlap in which they can register and vote on the same day.  That overlap has come under fire by the Ohio Republican Party and some Ohio voters, who point out that state law requires voters to have been registered for 30 days before they can cast an absentee ballot.  This, they say, creates an unfair situation because it is difficult to immediately verify a voter's identity.

Ohio is a Hotbed of Vote Fraud in 2008.  The Cleveland Plain Dealer is touting triumphantly that Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner is predicting an 80% voter turnout in the 2008 election.  This would be an amazing statistic if true. ... There is no doubt that Cuyahoga County is "leading" in this year's vote situation.  But, unfortunately, that "leading" seems to be in fraud, not legal, proper votes.

Judge rules Ohio homeless voters may list park benches as addresses.  A federal judge in Ohio has ruled that counties must allow homeless voters to list park benches and other locations that aren't buildings as their addresses.  U.S. District Judge Edmund Sargus also ruled that provisional ballots can't be invalidated because of poll worker errors.

Bam Staffers Pull Their Bogus Ohio Ballots.  Thirteen campaign workers for Barack Obama yesterday [10/24/2008] yanked their voter registrations and ballots in Ohio after being warned by a prosecutor that temporary residents can't vote in the battleground state.  A dozen staffers — including Obama Ohio spokeswoman Olivia Alair and James Cadogan, who recently joined Team Obama — signed a form letter asking the Franklin County elections board to pull their names from the rolls.

Hall adviser fired, linked to Ohio voting fraud probe.  Congressman John Hall (D-Dover Plains) fired one of his long-time campaign advisers Tuesday, after learning that she's embroiled in voter fraud investigations in Ohio.  Amy Little, 49, has been a registered Democrat in New York since 1991, and Ulster County election officials said she voted in the party primary here in February.  But in October, Little registered to vote in Ohio.

Ohio official mulls new voting machine rule.  Ohio's elections chief is reconsidering a plan to prohibit poll workers from taking voting machines home for safekeeping in the days before the November presidential election.  Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner announced plans in February to scrap the practice known as "sleepovers" because of security concerns but is now facing opposition from county elections officials who say the custom makes it easier to transport machines polling sites.

Update:
Ohio says no to voting machine 'sleepovers'.  Poll workers will not be allowed to take voting machines home for safekeeping in the days before the November presidential election because the practice known as "sleepovers" is an unacceptable security risk, the state elections chief said Tuesday [8/19/2008].  Taking machines home makes it nearly impossible to keep track of what happens to a machine or memory card once it goes into the custody of a poll worker, Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner said.

Ohio Voting Machines Contained Programming Error That Dropped Votes.  Premier (formerly Diebold) has admitted to a software flaw in its GEMS system used in 34 states that can cause votes to be dropped while being transferred from memory cards to a central tallying point.  This flaw has existed for at least 10 years….

100+ Diebold voting machines available now on EBay.  You really can get anything on EBay, even electronic voting machines proved to be easy to corrupt for purposes of voting fraud.  Brad Friedman of the Brad Blog first noticed that "more than 10" AccuVote-TS voting machines, built by Diebold, were being sold on the online auction site for the buy-it-now price of $1,200 (plus $50 shipping and handling).

Diebold e-voting hack allows remote tampering.  The attack on the Diebold AccuVote TS electronic voting machine, which is now marketed by Election Systems & Software, relies on a small circuit board that an attacker inserts between the components connecting the touch screen of the device to its microprocessor.  The $10.50 card then controls the information flowing into the machine's internal processor, allowing attackers to change votes with almost no visible sign of what's taking place.

Glitches galore as US votes.  Programming errors and inexperience with electronic voting machines frustrated poll workers in hundreds of precincts during Tuesday's US elections, delaying voters in Indiana and Ohio and forcing some in Florida to cast paper ballots instead.  In Cleveland, voters rolled their eyes as election workers fumbled with new touchscreen machines that they couldn't get to start properly.  "We got five machines — one of them's got to work," said Willette Scullank, a trouble-shooter from the Cuyahoga County elections board.

Brunner declares Ohio's voting systems vulnerable.  All of the voting systems used in Ohio have "critical security failures" that make them vulnerable to tampering and should be replaced with paper ballots counted at a central location, Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner concluded after a top-to-bottom review of the systems.

Ohio voting law may be a boon for Obama supporters.  Never mind the last days of the presidential campaign.  The busiest days for Barack Obama's campaign in this perennial swing state are likely to be a month before Election Day.  Ohio has created a window in the election calendar that would allow residents instant gratification — register one minute, vote the next.

Critics see voting loopholes in new rules.  With Ohio expected once more to play a deciding role in the presidential race, the battle over state voting rules that plagued the 2004 election has begun again in earnest.  Republicans are raising concerns about Ohioans registering to vote and immediately casting absentee ballots during a five-day window after absentee voting starts Sept. 30 and before the deadline for registration Oct. 6.

Supreme Court rejects Ohio GOP bid.  The Supreme Court sided Friday [10/17/2008] with Ohio's top elections official in a dispute with the state Republican Party over voter registrations.  The justices overruled a federal appeals court that had ordered Ohio's top elections official to do more to help counties verify voter eligibility.

No Righting Voting Wrongs in Ohio.  Topping the list of most important legal cases this election year may be one in which the Supreme Court did not rule on the merits, and about which the U.S. Department of Justice turned a blind eye to justice.  Rampant voter fraud may well result.  The nation's highest court ruled Friday [10/17/2008] that, for now, a federal district court cannot force Ohio's Secretary of State to enforce federal elections laws that she is flagrantly ignoring.

Lawyers demand vote fraud probe.  The lawyers pointed to Ohio and Wisconsin, where the Justice Department has decided against requiring state officials to confirm voters' identities by releasing their names to local election authorities as "difficult to fathom."  At issue in both states are thousands of voters whose names did not match listed Social Security and driver's license numbers in other government databases, or otherwise did not pass identity verification standards.  "This appears to be a dereliction of the department's obligations to enforce federal law," the attorneys wrote.

Ohio Secretary of State Linked to ACORN, Project Vote.  The national development director for Project Vote, an affiliated organization of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN, has been linked to embattled Ohio Secretary of State, Democrat Jennifer Brunner.  Karyn Gillette of Project Vote was a campaign consultant for the Brunner campaign, according to information found in a post made by Rick Brunner on April 11, 2006 on the secretary of state's own blog.

Liberals: The Enemy Within.  Feeling as I do about Barack Obama, it's only natural that I would look for people to blame for putting him in the Oval Office.  I mean, aside from the 63 million oafs who actually voted for the guy.  The first villains who come to mind are members of the media who are still, in the words of Bernard Goldberg, slobbering over him.  But I have come up with another group of troublemakers.  They're the folks who came up with the cockamamie primary system.

Cleveland election workers sentenced for rigging 2004 presidential recount.  Two election workers in the state's most populous county were sentenced Tuesday [3/13/2007] to 18 months in prison for rigging the 2004 presidential election recount so they could avoid a more thorough review of the votes.  Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Judge Peter Corrigan allowed the women to remain free on bond pending appeal.

Editor's note:
Please note that Cuyahoga County is heavily Democratic, if that wasn't already obvious.



Ineligible voters

Florida Investigating Potential Non-Citizen Voters.  In a new crackdown, Florida officials are investigating the citizenship of thousands of registered voters.  CBS4 News has learned 2,000 of those potential non-citizen voters are registered in Miami-Dade County.  At least one person on the list has had the opportunity to vote for the past 40 years.

Democrats Embrace Voter Fraud.  Already, Team Obama is putting voter fraud policies in effect to tilt the election.  Eric Holder's stance on the right of individual states within the U.S. to require voter identification is the most obvious example.  Several court cases have already upheld the states' right to require voter identification.  Furthermore, many studies have shown that requiring voter identification prevents voter fraud and is no more illegal than requiring identification to obtain Medicare or Medicaid or social security payments. ... More recently, Team, Obama is speeding up the immigration process and rushing illegal aliens to citizenship, often ahead of those who have waited, patiently and legally, for years.

Non-citizen Voting in Connecticut.  The Mayor of New Haven, Connecticut, John DeStefano, a Democrat, wants to let non-citizens vote in city elections.  One might ask the good mayor if he also thinks it OK for non-citizens to run for city offices, too — like for mayor.  According to a news story in New Haven Register, Pat O'Neill, spokesman for the state GOP House Republicans, asked when told of DeStefano's proposal:  "When are they going to extend voting rights to the dead?"  One inconvenient little snag for Mr. DeStefano's expansion of the franchise is the Constitution of the State of Connecticut, which stipulates in Article 6, Section 1 that voters must be U.S. citizens.

Rep. Gutierrez says Immigrant Voters put Obama in Office.  Gutierrez confirms what many in the U.S. already believe:  Illegal aliens are voting in U.S. elections — to the benefit of the Democrat Party — and each time an illegal alien votes, it cancels out a vote cast by a U.S. citizen.

Perdue vetoed voter ID to get all votes she can.  In states where Democrats reign, there are no efforts to pass or enforce voter-identification legislation.  For example, in too many states when registering to vote, applicants merely have to check off the box that says "U.S. Citizen."  No identification required or follow up conducted to confirm U.S. citizenship — just a simple check in the appropriate box.  The same applies to the question regarding conviction for a felony.

Corrupt Elections are Undermining Governance.  One of the most surreal experiences of our lives was watching an unelected bureaucrat pick and choose what ballots she wanted to count in the closely contested election featuring pseudo-Republican Lisa Murkowski and Tea Party Favorite Republican Joe Miller in Alaska.  Having spent decades watching ballots be counted in hundreds of elections, and never once have we seen a situation with such outrageous manipulation of the vote.  But I guess we weren't in Colorado.  Hot off the presses is a report that documents 5,000 non-citizens voting in that states highly contested elections.

GOP says 5,000 non-citizens voting in Colorado a 'wake-up call' for states.  Republicans on the House Administration Committee want to shore up voter registration rules in the wake of a Colorado study that found as many as 5,000 non-citizens in the state took part in last year's election.  Rep. Gregg Harper (R-Miss.), the panel's chairman, called the study "a disturbing wake-up call" that should cause every state to review its safeguards to prevent illegal voting.  "We simply cannot have an electoral system that allows thousands of non-citizens to violate the law and vote in our elections.  We must do more to protect the integrity of our electoral processes," Harper added.

Non-U.S. citizens may have voted in N.C. elections.  A review by the State Board of Elections has determined that 637 resident aliens may be registered to vote in North Carolina.  The issue was discovered when the board cross checked the names of 6.1 million registered voters against the driver's license database from the N.C. Division of Motor Vehicles.

Illegal Alien Voters Ignored by Justice Department.  It's apparent that President Obama considers Americans, who want to enforce illegal immigration laws in America, to be the enemy.  Even more revealing is the fact that with so much riding on the elections next week, Obama decided to take the time to speak to people who shouldn't be voting — legal and illegal immigrants.  But the dirty little secret is there exists an enormous amount of proof that illegal aliens are being registered to vote and they're being registered as Democrats.  And our political leaders know it.

War On Citizenship.  A U.S. Court of Appeals has invalidated an Arizona law requiring proof of citizenship to vote in state and federal elections.  Not only our borders but our voting booths are wide open.

Progressive Determination to Undermine American Elections.  The progressive assault on America continues, and their favorite whipping boy remains Arizona.  A three-judge panel from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has overturned that state's requirement that people show proof of citizenship to register to vote, calling it "inconsistent" with the National Voter Registration Act.  In other words, a United States court considers that proving one is an American citizen in order to vote in an American election an "undue burden."  How in the world did we come to this?

Voter Fraud in America.  A federal appeals court in Arizona rejected a state law requiring voters to demonstrate citizenship at the polls.  The return address on 250 absentee-ballot applications in Bridgeport, Connecticut is 1238 North Avenue, which just happens to be a vacant lot.  Daytona Beach City Commissioner Derrick Henry and Genesis Robinson, his campaign manager, face voter-fraud charges for allegedly completing 92 absentee-ballot applications with the names of Floridians who never requested them or who had moved away.  There's little doubt that we'll see more and more of this sort of activity as we move toward Election Day.

VOTE — No Citizenship Required.  In 2004, Arizona voters passed Proposition 200, the Arizona Voter Identification Laws.  What we attempted to accomplish was to help insure that only legal citizens of the U.S. would be voting in our elections.  The law required anyone who registered to vote to provide a valid Arizona driver's license, or an Identification Card, or other form of record with a digitized signature on file with AZ Motor Vehicle Department (MVD).  It also required that a voter provide ID at the polling place in order to verify that they are who they claim to be.

Can Arizona Save America?  Arizona is a fascinating state because of the extreme reactions its controversial legislation seems to elicit from the country.  It's definitely the Wild West when it comes to legislation, with the recently passed immigration law known as SB1070.  Then there is Arizona's Proposition 200 from 2004 that required proof of citizenship in order to register to vote.  It was approved by Arizona voters but was recently struck down by the 9th Circuit Court, dealing a blow to the very integrity of our elections.

Voter Fraud:  Illegal alien voters ignored by Obama Justice Department.  It's apparent that President Obama considers Americans, who want to enforce illegal immigration laws in America, to be the enemy.  Even more revealing is the fact that with so much riding on the elections next week, Obama decided to take the time to speak to people who shouldn't be voting — legal and illegal immigrants.  But the dirty little secret is there exists an enormous amount of proof that illegal aliens are being registered to vote and they're being registered as Democrats.  And our political leaders know it.

Court throws out Arizona rule requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote.  A federal appeals court on Tuesday [10/26/2010] threw out a state mandate for people to provide proof of citizenship before being allowed to register to vote.  In a divided decision, the majority of the three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals concluded the requirement, approved by Arizona voters in 2004, runs afoul of the federal National Voter Registration Act.

Court overturns Arizona's proof of citizenship requirement for voter registration.  The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has overturned Arizona's requirement that people show proof of citizenship to register to vote.  The split decision by a three-judge panel determined that the requirement to show proof of citizenship — passed by voters in 2004 — is not consistent with the National Voter Registration Act.

Ruling Strikes Down Part of Arizona Voter ID Law.  A federal appeals court has struck down a key part of Arizona's law requiring voters to prove they are citizens before registering to vote or casting ballots.

DoJ Slumbers As Dead Voters Head to the Polls.  What is the quietest spot in Washington, D.C.?  The Rose Garden?  The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier?  Actually, it's the Justice Department's Voting Section.  Justice's unit that allegedly fights disenfranchisement lately has been caught dozing while at least nine states too slowly deliver absentee ballots to overseas GIs.  Too many military votes thus may go uncounted in November.  In yet another outrage, the Voting Section is static while the rolls of at least 16 states evidently list ineligible voters, including non-residents, disqualified felons, and — yes — dead people.

Small Sample of Philly Voter Rolls Reveals Hundreds of Ineligible Names.  Every two years, states are required to provide data to the Election Assistance Commission regarding their compliance with Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act (the section of that statute which ensures voter lists are up-to-date and free of ineligible voters).  In 2005, their data collection for Pennsylvania revealed that 102.5% of the citizen voting age population was registered to vote on Election Day 2004.  One might reasonably wonder how it was possible that more people were registered to vote than existed.

Demand Valid Voter Rolls Before November.  If Americans don't want dead and ineligible felons participating in elections, they will have to clean up the mess themselves, as Attorney General Eric Holder won't do his job by enforcing the integrity protections in the "Motor Voter" law passed in 1993.  Motor Voter struck an important balance — it sought to increase voter registration, as well as ensure voter integrity.  Welfare offices and motor vehicle offices became voter registration centers.  But the law also required states to conduct list maintenance to ensure ineligible names don't pollute the voting rolls.  Dead people, ineligible felons, and people who moved away must be removed from the rolls by state election officials.

Dead in Ohio, but still voting.  The liberal obsession with using election law to promote racial grievance-mongering rather than to protect against voter fraud continues apace.  The worst case in point this week is the effort of Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, a highly partisan Democrat who's forcing Cuyahoga County to waste half a million dollars on unnecessary bilingual ballots while she fails to remove 5,800 dead people from the Buckeye State's voter rolls.

Woman, 81, jailed in vote-fraud case.  Bexar County deputies Monday night [10/4/2010] arrested a woman accused of using her long-dead sister's identity to vote twice in the 2008 general election.  Mary Ann Comparin, 81, was released from Bexar County Jail on Tuesday after posting $10,000 bail, officials said. She faces one count of illegal voting.

Lawlessness at the DOJ.  The "Motor Voter" law was passed in 1993 to promote greater voter registration in the United States.  It did this — most Americans now know from visits to the DMV — by requiring states to offer voter registration materials whenever someone had contact with a variety of state offices.  These included welfare offices, social service agencies, and motor vehicle departments.  A lesser-known provision also obliged the states to ensure that no ineligible voters were on the rolls — including dead people, felons, and people who had moved.  Our current Department of Justice is anxious to encourage the obligations to get everyone registered, but explicitly unwilling to enforce federal law requiring states to remove the dead or ineligible from the rolls.

Justices Want More on Massachusetts Felon Vote Case.  For the past decade inmates in Massachusetts prisons have fought a state law keeping them from voting, Monday [5/3/2010] the Supreme Court announced it wants to know the views of the Obama Administration before deciding whether to hear arguments in their case.

The Editor says...
The opinions of politicians should not be a consideration.  That's why Supreme Court Justices are appointed for life.

Obama's Greatest Crime:  Obama and the leftwing of the Democratic Party intend to turn ten to eleven million illegal immigrants into voters as expeditiously as possible, giving them a permanent national electoral majority based upon a beholden Lumpenproletariat.  If they succeed, our country will face mob rule.  No individual who broke the law to enter this country should ever be allowed to decide who becomes our president, governor, senator — or town council member.  If there is one message patriotic Americans must act upon during the remainder of Obama's reign, it's this:  No voting rights for illegals.

Massachusetts has estimated 116K dead voters on its rolls.  A new study of the nation's voter registration records finds 3.3 million dead voters are still on the rolls — including an estimated 116,483 in Massachusetts — while another 12.9 million who are ineligible also remain.  The study was done by Aristotle International Inc., a Washington, D.C. technology company that specializes in election-related programming and database services for public officials and agencies.

How To Vote From Six Feet Under.  States such as California, Texas and Florida intentionally count ballots sent in by voters who then died before Election Day, while states such as Colorado, Washington and South Dakota have no reliable method for discarding the votes of the deceased.  In the old days, voting by the dead was reserved for big-city political machines looking to stuff the ballot box illegally.

The Editor says...
People who are within 30 days of a natural death generally don't concern themselves with politics.  I suspect the root of this problem is the act of harvesting votes at hospices and nursing homes, getting otherwise confused and disinterested citizens to go through the motions of voting, even if they don't really want to.  On the other hand, there's no way the state would be able to certify that all voters are still living at the moment to polls close.  Like so many other aspects of our society, the feasibility of our system depends on people doing the right thing, and many among us do not.

More than 3 Million Registered Voters are Dead.  Regardless of how lively an election season might be, a new study shows that more 3.3 million voters on current registration rolls across the country are dead.  Another 12.9 million remain on voter registration lists in an area where they no longer live.

Dead Mayors Win.  In Pennsylvania, the dead don't vote, they win elected office.  At least that's what happened in Tarentum and Freeport, both cities in Allegheny County, when the two candidates for mayor — both of whom died in September — ran unopposed.

Dead man wins Tracy City mayoral race.  Carl Robin Geary Sr. died of a heart attack on March 10 but that didn't stop voters from electing him mayor of Tracy City.

'They Tried to Steal an Election,' N.Y. Voter Fraud Case Heats Up.  Thirty-eight forged or fraudulent ballots have been thrown out, according to records at the Rensselaer County Board of Elections in Troy, N.Y. Enough votes, an election official admits, to likely have tipped the November election to the Democrats.

No-confidence vote on voter rolls.  Detroit election officials confirmed Monday [4/6/2009] what an analysis of census and population records shows:  The city has more registered voters than it has residents over the voting age of 18.  But Detroit is doing nothing wrong.  The problem?  The 1993 National Voter Registration Act, which took effect in 1995, requires local officials to wait two federal election cycles before purging their voter rolls.  That means that all cities carry ineligible voters each year.

The End of Fair Elections?  It may come as a surprise to some; we may have witnessed the last free and fair election in this country.  How long ago that election was does not matter now; there will not be another one.  Remember when "B1 Bob" Dornan lost his House seat to a woman named Sanchez?  The election was stolen by Hermandad Nacional Mexicana[,] a group that made a concerted effort to register illegal aliens.  Since then, the art of rigging the vote has been refined and perfected by the likes of ACORN and other community activist organizations.  The modus operandi is clear.  First, there must be a team of lawyers to challenge any efforts to determine voter eligibility.  What we end up with here in California is "motor voter" registration.

Florida voting rolls contain dead people, duplicates, ineligible felons.  Mattie Lee Blitch has been dead 23 years but she's still registered to vote in Palm Beach County.  Recent college graduate Brett Ackerman is registered three times in two counties.  And convicted felon Joseph Muro just signed up to vote — from a state mental institution for the criminally insane.

Dead People Voting Throughout Florida.  Thousands of dead Floridians are registered to vote and some in Central Florida had ballots cast in their names long after their deaths.  "That is scary," said Jim Branch.  Branch's mother Marjorie died in 2004 but someone voted for her in 2006.  Branch had tried to get his mother removed from the voter rolls.

[KPRC-TV] Local 2 Investigates Dead Voters.  More than 1.9 million people are registered to vote in Harris County alone.  But how many of the people listed on the voter roll are actually eligible to cast a ballot?  Investigative reporter Amy Davis shows you how hundreds of voters could sway this year's election — voters who are not even alive. … Texas Watchdog found 4,462 registered voters who appear to be deceased.

Judge Won't Stop Georgia Voter Citizenship Checks.  A federal judge has denied a request by voting groups to block Georgia's attempts to verify new voter applicants' identities and citizenship.  The groups argue in a lawsuit the action is a "systematic purging" of rolls before the election and say the checks must first be approved by the Department of Justice.  U.S. District Judge Jack Camp denied the request Thursday [10/16/2008], saying it could lead to "significant voter confusion."  The plaintiffs' case is still scheduled to be heard by a three-judge panel in U.S. District court next week.

Princess the dead goldfish won't vote in Illinois.  The only "agent of change" Princess ever supported was the person who refreshed the water in her fishbowl.  Now election officials in Chicago's northern suburbs want to investigate out how the dead goldfish received voter registration material.  Paperwork sent to a "Princess Nudelman" likely came from the "Womens Voices, Women Vote" project, said Lake County Clerk Willard Helander, a Republican, who said she has spotted problems with nearly 1,000 voter registrations this year.

How to steal an election:  A recent story that didn't get nearly the attention it deserved was the New York Daily News report that 46,000 registered New York City voters are also registered to vote in Florida.  Nearly 1,700 of them have had absentee ballots mailed to their home in the other state, and as many as 1,000 have voted twice in the same election.  Can 1,000 fraudulent votes change an election?  Well, George W. Bush won Florida in 2000 by just 537 votes.

Election protests have already started.  In Denver, an estimated 165,000 new voter sign-ups brought warnings of potential vote fraud.  State officials have sent several hundred registrations to the attorney general for review, and the Denver district attorney is investigating 200 more.  Both parties have enlisted hundreds of lawyers for Election Day challenges and for post-election fights over disputed ballots.  Rep. Pat Tiberi, an Ohio Republican, noted that four counties in his state have voter registration numbers that exceed the number of voting-age residents in the counties in the last Census.

500 new voters might not exist.  Workers paid by a liberal group to register voters in Franklin County have turned in more than 500 forms with nonexistent addresses and potentially fake signatures, elections officials said yesterday [8/10/2006].  Board of Elections Director Matthew Damschroder said he has forwarded the cards to county authorities for possible criminal charges.

Voter Registration Probe Unearths Potential Fraud in Wisconsin.  Susan Tully, the Midwest field director for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, says she became concerned about possible voter fraud in the Badger State when an admitted illegal alien suddenly was named a deputy registrar of voters in Racine, Wisconsin. ... "At no time was she asked to show identification; at no time was she asked for her Social Security number; and at no time was she asked if she was a citizen of the United States," she says.  "I have a real fear, based on my knowledge now, that this election will be decided by foreign nationals and illegal aliens."

Bollixing up the Ballot:  Once the Democrat pulled ahead, Washingtonians were told it was time to move on.  "The election is over," Gregoire announced in December.  "I hope we can move forward, unite our state and address the problems our state is facing."  One problem the state faced, and presumably will face again, is voter fraud.  Even in dismissing Rossi's lawsuit, the judge admitted there were at least 1,678 illegal ballots cast — more than enough to flip the outcome in either direction.

The illegal alien swing vote:  Why is it that we can't protect our elections from people who have no right to vote, no right to be here, and no right to undermine our safety or sovereignty?

The felon vote:  In the wake of their election defeat, Democrats have promised to mend their ways by emphasizing moral values.  So, in their first major legislative initiative of the year, what are the party's two top senators offering?  A bill to guarantee that millions of convicted murderers, rapists and armed robbers can vote.

55,000 dead or duplicate voters deleted from state database.  The Secretary of State's Office has deleted about 55,000 registrations from Washington's voter rolls after finding duplicate records and dead voters with the aid of a new statewide database.  The database, put in place earlier this year, allowed the state to find 19,579 dead people still on the rolls and 35,445 duplicate voter records. … So far the state has found about 900 names of people who could be in prison but still are on voter-registration rolls.

Purging illegal aliens from voter rolls isn't easy.  President Clinton signed the motor-voter legislation into law, hailing it for increasing voter participation by simplifying registration.  But many states do not verify citizenship when residents apply for licenses, which allows noncitizens to get on voting rolls.

New Mexico man registers dog to vote using fake name, social security number.  The man, who doesn't actually plan to vote using [his dog's] name, said he was only trying to prove that there are problems with the registration system.  "They should verify," he told KOB-TV.  "Somebody should have verified this information and somebody should have come out and took a look at exactly who it was.

The Editor says...
I presume the dog is probably a Democrat, since he relies on somebody else to bring him food without having to hunt and gather for himself, and since he depends on someone else to provide a place to live, regardless of whether he does any work.




Should convicted felons be allowed to vote?

What's Next?  Voting Absentee from Prison?  [Scroll down]  Supporters of the plan like to talk about how these individuals have "paid their debt to society," only in this instance these 44,000 are still making payments in the form of probation or parole.  This is like allowing a layaway customer to take possession of the Xbox before he's made the last payment.  Come to think of it, some of these future Democrat votes may be on probation or parole because they took the Xbox without making any payments.  [Governor Larry] Hogan originally vetoed the bill because he harbors quaint notions about the need for consequences to follow when someone breaks the law.  He felt that no one put a gun to the criminal's head and made them take up a life of crime.  On the contrary the people with the guns to their heads were the law-abiding.  Forfeiting the right to vote until they paid their entire debt to society was only right and proper.

Dems Nervous About Holder Call for Ex-Felon Voting Rights.  Democrats are walking very gingerly around Attorney General Eric Holder's call to give felons the right to vote once they are out of prison.  Notwithstanding the fact that a large percentage of felons are African-American and more likely to vote for the Democrats, the Democratic incumbents seeking reelection are trying to avoid committing to Holder's notion for fear they would be perceived as too liberal for the citizenry.  Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) has plans for legislation giving voting rights to felons immediately after their release.

Dems split on restoring felons voting rights.  Attorney General Eric Holder's call to restore voting rights to felons after they've served their time in prison has split Senate Democrats.  Liberal Democrats who are not facing tough re-elections this year say it's the right thing to do, but vulnerable incumbents are steering clear of the proposal.

Jail survey: Nearly three quarters of felons register as Democrats.  The authors, professors from the University of Pennsylvania and Stanford University, found that in some states, felons register Democratic by more than six-to-one.  In New York, for example, 61.5 percent of convicts are Democrats, just 9 percent Republican.  They also cited a study that found 73 percent of convicts who turn out for presidential elections would vote Democrat.  But despite recent moves in states to notify convicts that they can vote again, the study finds little evidence that they do, undercutting Democratic efforts to get them to the polls.

When 1,099 felons vote in race won by 312 ballots.  In the eyes of the Obama administration, most Democratic lawmakers, and left-leaning editorial pages across the country, voter fraud is a problem that doesn't exist.  Allegations of fraud, they say, are little more than pretexts conjured up by Republicans to justify voter ID laws designed to suppress Democratic turnout.  That argument becomes much harder to make after reading a discussion of the 2008 Minnesota Senate race in "Who's Counting?", a new book by conservative journalist John Fund and former Bush Justice Department official Hans von Spakovsky.

Non-Citizens, Convicted Felons Could Swing the Election for Obama.  Mitt Romney's lead over President Barack Obama in the states most likely to decide the presidential election could diminish over the next few weeks if left wing pressure groups work successfully to block ballot integrity efforts.  Catherine Engelbrecht, president and founder of "True the Vote," is blunt.  She warns that 2012 could mark the end of free and fair elections in America.

Obama Administration Coordinating With Left-Wing Groups on Voter Fraud?  Democrats want felons to vote, because an overwhelming majority of them will vote Democratic.  They want illegal aliens to vote for the same reason.  And they want loyal Democrats to vote more than once where they are able to do so.  Where there is no voter security, these abuses will increase.  So, either through legal rulings or through intimidation, the Democrats want to disable the states from protecting the integrity of the ballot box.  It appears that Obama's politicized Department of Justice will be in the forefront of this effort.

Push to register felons to vote could aid Obama.  Undaunted by the heat, James Bailey spent his late-summer afternoons walking Virginia's bleakest neighborhoods on the hunt for ex-cons — each a potential voter who might cast the decisive ballot in this hotly contested state.  Finding them isn't the hard part.  It's getting them to admit that a past mistake has kept them from the ballot box.

The franchise for felons.  Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor wants to give jailbirds the right to vote.  It's her opinion that the federal Voting Rights Act can be used to force states to allow voting by currently imprisoned felons.  Ms. Sotomayor's dissenting opinion in a 2006 felon-voting case should make senators extremely wary of confirming her for the high court.

24,000 Felons Getting Ballots, Despite Eligibility Questions.  The [Washington] Secretary of State's Office fired up a new multimillion-dollar computer in 2006.  Its job was to catch, and then cancel, illegal voters.  Well, not all illegal voters.  KIRO-TV recently ran its own data to double check the state's work.  Investigative Reporter Chris Halsne found out the system was set up to ignore the existence of approximately 24,000 convicted felons.

Supreme Court Deals Blow to Massachusetts Inmates Seeking Right to Vote.  Should felons have the right to vote?  The U.S. Supreme Court today [10/18/2010] declined to take up this weighty topic, rejecting an appeal from Massachusetts inmates who seek the right to vote.

Should Felons Vote?  Forty-eight states currently restrict the right of felons to vote.  Most states forbid current inmates to vote, others extend such bans to parolees, and still others disenfranchise felons for life.  A movement to overturn these restrictions gained swift momentum during the 2004 presidential campaign, and pending legal and legislative measures promise to keep the issue in the headlines in the months to come.

Measure would restore vote to all felons.  Democratic lawmakers, who have long pushed to restore voting rights to Maryland felons, say racial politics and election-year considerations make this the year they open the polls to every ex-convict.  "This law seriously disenfranchises a large number of African-Americans," said Delegate Salima Siler Marriott, a black Baltimore Democrat ... whose bill would give all felons the vote immediately upon release from prison.

The Editor says...
[Why wait til then?  If this passes, the next step will be to allow prisoners to vote while they're still in prison.  This kind of incrementalism only goes one direction.]

Felon plan seen as political.  Gov. Tom Vilsack insists politics played no part in his plan to restore voting rights to all Iowa felons, a move nonetheless loaded with political ramifications.  By automatically restoring the vote to people who have served their time in prison and on parole or probation, Vilsack could subtly shift the political balance in a narrowly divided battleground state in favor of Democrats, the governor's party.

[Ask yourself this question:  Why do people assume that felons would vote for Democrats?]

Felons call voting ban unfair to minorities.  A lawsuit pending [in Seattle] and similar cases across the country have asked the courts to overturn state laws that keep felons from the ballot box, claiming the laws discriminate against minorities who make up a disproportionate number of the nation's prisoners.

Rand Paul's Idea to Force the States to Enfranchise Felons Really Is Unconstitutional.  I'm gratified that Senator Paul responded to my criticism of the constitutionality of his plan for a federal bill to reenfranchise some felons, but I'm afraid that his response is quite unpersuasive.  Senator Paul seems to think that states can decide who votes in state elections but that the federal government has the final say on who can vote in federal elections, but that is just not true.




The Voting Rights Act of 1965

Do We Still Need the Voting Rights Act?  If a state covered by the Voting Rights Act wants to redraw its congressional districts or pass a voter-ID law, it needs to seek approval from Washington first.  If a county board of elections in a covered jurisdiction wants to move a polling place from the Baptist church to the Methodist church down the street, or if a school board wants to expand its membership, that needs to be cleared by the Justice Department, too.

The Voting Rights Act And Its Wrongs.  Congress amended the Voting Rights Act in 1982 to require the creation of majority-black and majority-Hispanic districts in some circumstances.  This change was healthy to a point.  But it was carried to extremes.  The Civil Rights Division and its allies, including minority politicians, interpreted the 1982 amendments as requiring states and localities to discard traditional districting principles such as compactness and contiguity and draw as many safe, majority-black and majority-Hispanic districts as possible, no matter how bizarre their shape.

How the Voting Rights Act promotes racial polarization:  With Congress poised to extend, for another quarter-century, certain "temporary" provisions of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, it's worth pondering some of the political mischief taking place these days in the name of "voting rights."

Incumbent Rights Act:  Why Congress loves racial gerrymanders.  You can be fairly certain that the coming debate over updating the Voting Rights Act will sidestep what's really at stake, which isn't the right to vote but rather the power of politicians to pick their voters through gerrymandering. … In Georgia v. Ashcroft, the High Court said, "the Voting Rights Act, as properly interpreted, should encourage the transition to a society where race no longer matters."  The reauthorization would do the opposite.

Sacred cow:  A devil's brew of cynicism on one side and demagoguery on the other seemed to guarantee renewal of the "temporary" features of the Voting Rights Act first passed in 1965. … This clearly outdated law — whose passage would reinforce false claims of continuing white racism by the usual suspects — was headed for easy passage until someone noticed the bit about multilingual ballots.  Under Section 203, ballots and election materials in districts with large immigrant populations must be provided in the immigrants' native tongue.  This, in a nation that (at least nominally) requires mastery of English for naturalization.

VRA, All of It, Forever?  The Voting Rights Act was passed in 1965 and included a number of "emergency" provisions that were set to expire as early as 1970 but were extended and amended in 1970, 1975 and 1982.  They [have recently been] extended for a fourth time, two years before they are due to expire — and for another 25 years.  This bipartisan rush illustrates the descent of the residue of the civil-rights movement into the barren politics of gesture and nostalgia.  The eager participation of Republicans demonstrates cravenness and two kinds of opportunism, one deservedly futile, the other disgracefully successful.

Big Voting Rights Drama in Small Town.  The Voting Rights Act was designed to deal with years of voter intimidation and disenfranchisement, and it has proved a very successful tool in the civil rights arsenal.  Certainly the conduct it was designed to remedy has long ceased and the preclearance provisions of the Act place an intolerable administrative and budgetary constraint on those covered by the law.  Nevertheless, it remains such a sacred cow that in 2008 the Senate extended the Act's life by another 25 years by a 98-0 vote.




What's up in Boulder, Colorado?

What is Boulder County trying to hide?  There must be something terribly wrong with their new election system, and Boulder County election officials are doing everything in their power to keep it hidden from the public.  The Boulder County Republican Party was kicked out of Thursday's official test [8/5/2004] of the new election system.  Election officials insisted that the legally appointed Republican Party representative change his test decks, presumably so that the system can pass the tests.  The Republican representative refused, and the clerk told him to leave.

Kolwicz evicted for submitting real tests.  Al Kolwicz, official representative to Boulder County's test of its new vote counting system, was asked by County Clerk, Linda Salas, to leave the test.  When asked what happened, Kolwicz said, "we submitted sample ballots to test the security and accuracy of the county's new vote counting system."  The sample ballots included tests such as - (1) what happens if a voter circles the box rather than filling in the entire box with a black pen, and (2) what happens if a voter marks over the ballot serial number in hopes that this will make the ballot secret.  (Boulder County's new ballots are not secret.)

Free Al Kolwicz!  Last we looked, being fastidious wasn't a crime.  But the Boulder County Clerk and Recorder's Office evidently didn't get that memo.  Last Thursday [8/5/2004], officials ordered Al Kolwicz, a Republican representative to the elections canvass board, off the premises, and reported him to police for allegedly "interfering" with an election.

Note:  A test of voting machines is not an election.

Elections must be verifiable.  So, are you ready to hand off the security of your precious vote to a bunch of software programmers who work for huge corporations?  You, the average voter, could soon find that you have no way to verify that the votes you cast on fancy-schmancy "touch-screen" voting terminals are what you intended.  Sound alarmist?  It's happening across the United States under provisions of the Help America Vote Act, passed by Congress in response to the 2000 Florida election debacle.  HAVA, as currently written, is no solution.

Safeguarding the Vote:  Last November, I voted.  At least I think I did.  When I got to my polling place, instead of the familiar ballot where I drew a fat, black line to connect two parts of an arrow, I was handed what looked like a blank credit card.  I plugged that into one of the spiffy new touch-screen voting machines and started touching the screen.  When I was done, the machine showed me a summary of the votes I'd cast.  I returned the magnetic card, and that was it.  It was a bit spooky.  No ballot, nothing tangible, just a momentary display on a screen.

"The counting system is NOT VERIFIABLE.  There is no ballot by ballot way to compare the original ballot to the votes that the computer (as amended by the officials) interpreted from that ballot.  We cannot know what the computer decided.  It is like using a giant calculator with no 'paper tape' to enter hundreds of thousands of numbers, and then pressing TOTAL, and believing the TOTAL without checking it.  Who would possibly trust the result?"
— Al Kolwicz

Anti-illegals activist to target voter fraud.  Why would someone who's devoted his career to fighting illegal immigration want to become chief vote-counter for the state of Kansas?  Suffice it to say that [Kris] Kobach devoted his campaign to one issue, and that issue was voter fraud — and it too has an immigration angle.  The specter of illegal immigrants casting votes in U.S. elections has long frustrated Republicans, and Mr. Kobach is now poised to do something about it.

Look Who's Counting Votes in California.  The race to determine who will be the attorney general of California is still too close to call.  Democrat Kamala Harris, San Francisco's district attorney, leads Republican Steve Cooley, the DA for Los Angeles County, by 31,000 votes out of nearly nine million cast.  And there are more than 750,000 ballots left to count.  The tabulation process has led to a full-fledged food fight between the candidates and has roped in Dean Logan, the controversial voter registrar of Los Angeles County.

Joe Miller Accuses Alaska Lt. Gov., Who Oversees Elections, of Bias.  During a blogger conference call on Thursday [11/4/2010], Alaska GOP Senate candidate Joe Miller accused Alaska's lieutenant governor Craig Campbell of bias.  Miller, of course, is in the middle of a battle involving the counting of write-in votes for his opponent, Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski.  During the call, Miller said:  ["]There are a number of fights that are going to have to be undertaken, in part, due to the fact that the division of elections (is) headed up by the lieutenant governor.  The lieutenant governor is effectively the same [as] what you might see in other states as the secretary of state.  His statements are policy.  He was appointed by Murkowski ... has connections to the Murkowski family.["]

The Path To Victory For Joe Miller In Alaska.  [Scroll down]  It is quite possible that a combination of [several] factors could close the gap, providing Miller with a slight edge.  And then there is the issue of voter intent.  Alaska does have a clear standard in that regard, one it is not believed the department of elections will adhere to, just as they have opted to change other voting regulations on the fly in a manner that favors Murkowski.  The Division of Elections has already said they would not count write-in votes cast for Joe Miller, a decision contrary to existing regulations.

Miller Camp Claims AK Division Of Elections Dropped The Ball Today.  The Senate campaign of Alaskan Republican, Joe Miller, claims the Alaska's Division of Elections failed to meet its responsibilities today with regard to the transparent handling of what is sure to be a closely watched ballot counting process.  They say they were surprised to find out that the Absentee Ballot validation process began today [11/5/2010] at 10 a.m.

Election Theft Underway in Wisconsin.  The far left has taken over the Democratic Party, and is aggressive changing the rules so as to entrench itself in power, regardless of the will of the people.  The same Alinskyite mentality that rammed through ObamaCare.  Rules are what you make the other guy live up to.  Now, with the same anti-transparency approach used on ObamaCare, Wisconsin Democrats plan to close down scrutiny while they tailor election practices to benefit themselves.  Chicago rules ruthlessness coupled to a far left structural agenda.

Clay County precinct worker testifies she stole votes.  A former Clay County precinct worker testified Friday that top election officers in the county taught her how to change people's choices on voting machines to steal votes in the May 2006 primary.  Wanda White testified that Clerk Freddy Thompson — the county's chief election officer — helped show her how to manipulate voting machines along with Charles Wayne Jones, the Democratic election commissioner.

Absentee Ballot Fraud:  A Stolen Election in Greene County, Alabama.  The most important lesson of Greene County is that absentee ballots are extremely vulnerable to voter fraud.  The case shows how absentee ballot fraud really works, and it is a reality very different from the claims of partisans and advocacy groups.  More broadly, the case shows how voter fraud threatens the right to free and fair elections and how those most often harmed are poor and minorities.

Kentucky election fraud indictments:  In the November 2009 election in Kentucky, there was a serious discrepancy between how ES&S's iVotronic voting machines worked and how some voters were instructed.  Some voters were apparently falsely told that touching 'Vote' completed the voting process.  However, that only displayed the review screen, whereas subsequently touching 'Cast Ballot' was required.  Conspiratorial election judges were then able to modify the ballot and cast it.

Is The Vote Rigged?  Effort To Expose Computer Vote Fraud Leads To Lawsuit.  The Constitution Party … points out that since 1988 all but a handful of the 3,142 counties in the US have delegated the "counting" process, done in secret, to several mega companies, Diebold, ES&S, Hart and Sequioa.  All 50 secretaries of state have approved these systems.  The Clean Elections lawsuit, in the process of expanding to all 50 states, charges that the use of any computer (direct-recording-electronic- or DRE) systems which obscure ballots from the people for any period of time before a count is completed and the results are announced are unconstitutional.


Electronic voting
Over-reliance on computer systems is always hazardous.

A comparison of Las Vegas slot machines to electronic voting machines.  For example, in the slot machines, the State of Nevada has access to all software.  It is illegal to use software that is not on file.  But the software in the electronic voting machines is a trade secret.

Internet Voting Arrives ... But Is It Secret and Safe?  On Tuesday, for the first time, voters in 33 states will be able to vote using some aspect of the Internet.  But no matter the outcome, experts say no one will be certain those votes haven't been tampered with.  "We are still a decade away from being sure that Internet voting is secure and not subject to manipulation," said Susan Dzieduszycka-Suinat, president of the Overseas Vote Foundation, which helps servicemen and Americans living abroad to vote in elections using the Internet.

Nevada voting machines automatically checking Harry Reid's name.  Clark County is where three quarters of Nevada's residents and live and where Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's son Rory is a county commissioner.  Rory is also a Democratic candidate for governor.  Since early voting started, there have been credible reports that voting machines in Clark County, Nevada are automatically checking Harry Reid's name on the ballot.

Nevada Voters Complain Of Problems At Polls.  Some voters in Boulder City complained on Monday [10/25/2010] that their ballot had been cast before they went to the polls, raising questions about Clark County's electronic voting machines.  Voter Joyce Ferrara said when they went to vote for Republican Sharron Angle, her Democratic opponent, Sen. Harry Reid's name was already checked.

As e-voting comes of age, security fears mount.  New technologies allowing voters to cast ballots via the Internet or other electronic means are catching on in the United States and elsewhere, even as fears mount about security of the systems.

Voting Test Falls Victim to Hackers.  Hackers infiltrated the District of Columbia's online voting system last week.  They changed all votes for mayor to Master Control Pro and elected HAL 9000 the council chairman.  The blaring University of Michigan fight song played whenever a new ballot was successfully cast.  The hackers, a team of computer scientists from Ann Arbor, Mich., were capable of damage far less sophomoric.

DC Internet voting trial.  On 8 Oct, there was a hearing of a DC City Council committee, where Dr. Alex Halderman from the University of Michigan revealed that in addition to playing the "fight song", their team had:
  (1) Modified all ballots already cast in the mock election to select write-in candidates such as HAL 9000 and other robots and computers.
  (2) Modified the software so all future votes would also be cast for their write-in candidates.
  (3) Modified the software so they could see all future votes and who cast them.
  (4) Obtained the (unencrypted) voter IDs and PINs (effectively usernames and passwords) for all 900+ authorized voters.
  (5) Gained control of the routing infrastructure (as a result of default passwords being unchanged), so they could redirect or block network traffic.

Red Flags Suggest Potential E-Voting Issues In Bizarre South Carolina Election.  People using ES&S machines have found that they voted for the wrong candidate.  It's also quite easy for anyone to recalibrate certain ES&S machines, so that it's easier for people to make mistakes while voting.  In South Dakota, ES&S machines added thousands of phantom votes.  And then there's Kentucky, where officials were recently arrested for using the confusing interface of ES&S e-voting machines to get people to leave the polling place before submitting their votes, so those officials could change their votes.  Oh, and the best part?  Most of these ES&S machines have no audit trail.  So there's no way to go back and check what happened.

Baby Steps for Transparency in Voting Systems.  This country's electronic voting systems remain black boxes with no means for the public to check their accuracy and security.  To make matters worse, reports persist about election officials' failure to protect those black boxes from mischief.  Until recently, a warehouse storing thousands of Pennsylvania's electronic voting machines kept its door propped open, leaving the machines vulnerable to manipulation.

Maryland Voters Test New Cryptographic Voting System.  It's an election system voters and math geeks can embrace.  On Tuesday [11/3/2009] voters in Takoma Park, Maryland, got to try out a new, transparent voting system that lets voters go online to verify that their ballots got counted in the final tally.  The system also lets anyone independently audit election results to verify the votes went to the correct candidates.

Virus in the Voting Machines:  Tainted Results in NY-23.  The computerized voting machines used by many voters in the 23rd district had a computer virus — tainting the results, not just from those machines known to have been infected, but casting doubt on the accuracy of counts retrieved from any of the machines.

Voting Drops 83 Percent In All-Digital Election.  Officials saw an 83 percent drop in the number of voters participating in the Honolulu Neighborhood Board's recent election that is the nation's first all-digital election, where people could vote over the Internet or by phone.  For the first time, Oahu voters had to use computers or the telephone to vote for their neighborhood board candidates and many people did not bother.

CIA agent testifies on risks of electronic voting.  A CIA agent testified before the Election Assistance Commission.  His position (or perhaps the CIA's?):  electronic votes are not secure and can be altered — and are being altered in some locales.

E-voting In Ireland:  The [Irish] government finds itself in a deep hole because of the purchase and storage of thousands of electronic voting machines.  It should stop digging.  What had seemed like a good idea, way back in 1999, has turned out to be an unmitigated disaster.  The initial waste of public money on the purchase of this dangerously insecure system has been compounded by the establishment of long-term leases of up to 30 years for the storage of machines in controlled environments.

Irish reject e-voting, go back to paper.  The Irish government has given up on e-voting and is moving back to paper.  The cost of continuing with the failed system is too high, and the crisis-stricken country is too cash-strapped.

Zelaya Attempted Honduran Referendum Vote Fraud.  Stories reported almost exclusively by the Blogosphere which are mostly ignored by the mainstream media have become such a recurring theme recently that it deserves to be filed under the category of "Blogosphere Roars, MSM Snores."  And the latest entry in this category is the report from the Catalan Europa Press in Spain relayed via the Babalu Blog about an attempt by former Honduran president Manuel (Mel) Zelaya to fix the results of a planned referendum via programmed computers on the very day he was ousted.

Fairfax County Virginia voting glitches:  While a winner was eventually declared, there are two unexplained problems:  in one, the "zero tape" printed before the polls opened (which is supposed to show that there are no votes recorded) showed that the total votes was 0, of which 3 were for the Republican, 2 for the Democrat, 1 for the independent, and 1 write-in.  Or mathematically, 3+2+1+1 = 0.

Arose by any other name.  Premier Election Solutions (formerly Diebold Election Systems) admitted in a California hearing on 17 Mar 2009 that the audit logs in its tabulation software do not record significant events that occur on the system during an election, such as the deletion of votes.

Computer Experts Fear Fraud in Recall Vote.  California voters will be using touch-screen machines, which don't produce printouts voters can see.  And no paper printouts, the scientists say, would make a legitimate recount impossible.

Ron Rivest's ThreeBallot Voting System.  A new paper-based voting method with attractive security properties.  Not only can each voter verify that her vote is recorded as she intended, but she gets a "receipt" that she can take home that can be used later to verify that her vote is actually included in the final tally.  Her receipt, however, does not allow her to prove to anyone else how she voted.  The new voting system is in some ways similar to recent cryptographic voting system proposals, but it achieves very nearly the same objectives without using any cryptography at all.  Its principles are simple and easy to understand.

Paper trail law for e-voting has fans and foes.  California will require all electronic voting machines to produce a printed record of votes in the June election, but there are still concerns that the expensive overhaul may cause more problems than it solves.

E-Voting Fraud?  I have read dozens of anecdotal accounts of "accidents" and "glitches," which have been promptly followed by claims of foolproof "fixes" e.g., memory loss due to low battery, memory overload, key over-sensitivity, software compatibility flaws, keycard malfunctions, physical security of machines and their components.

E-voting machines face tough new standards.  California's elections chief is proposing the toughest standards for voting systems in the country, so tough that they could banish ATMlike touch-screen voting machines from the state.  For the first time, California is demanding the right to try hacking every voting machine with "red teams" of computer experts and to study the software inside the machines, line-by-line, for security holes.

All you need is a screwdriver.  "This may be the worst security flaw we have seen in touch screen voting machines," says Open Voting Foundation president, Alan Dechert.  Upon examining the inner workings of one of the most popular paperless touch screen voting machines used in public elections in the United States, it has been determined that with the flip of a single switch inside, the machine can behave in a completely different manner compared to the tested and certified version.

The Case for Hand-Counted Paper Ballots:  I remain an advocate of paper ballots, counted by hand, at the precinct level, in full public view, on Election Night, no matter how long it takes.  Here is an outline of my reasons….

Revoting:  There are two basic types of voting errors:  random errors and systemic errors.  Random errors are just that, random — equally likely to happen to anyone. … The other kind of voting error is a systemic error. … An example would be a voting machine that mysteriously recorded more votes for A than there were voters.  (Sadly, this kind of thing is not uncommon with electronic voting machines.)

Black Box Voting Tool Kit 2008:  In the end, this isn't about getting your favorite presidential candidate elected.  This is about more permanent solutions:  getting durable, ongoing citizen-based controls to oversee all elections.  Elections ultimately control your daily life:  your property rights, roads, the public safety, the justice system, and ultimately, the economy, your freedom, and your health.  Regardless of who your next president will be, another election will soon be on the horizon.  Much work remains if we want open, fair elections.

States throw out costly electronic voting machines.  The demise of touch-screen voting has produced a graveyard of expensive corpses:  Warehouses stacked with thousands of carefully wrapped voting machines that have been shelved because of doubts about vanishing votes and vulnerability to hackers.  What to do with this high-tech junkyard is a multimillion-dollar question.  One manufacturer offered $1 apiece to take back its ATM-like machines.

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Paper Ballot:  When it comes to elections, California Secretary of State Debra Bowen opts for blander, more traditional technologies, and that preference is helping her sleep better at night.  Speaking Wednesday [7/30/2008] at the Usenix Security Symposium in San Jose, California, the state's top elections official laid out a decidedly low-tech approach for ensuring that each voter's ballot is recorded as cast.  It involves the use of ink pens to record votes on old-fashioned paper.

Soros Eyes Secretaries.  History's most notorious Georgian-turned-Russian, the politically astute Joseph Stalin once remarked, "The people who cast the votes decide nothing.  The people who count the votes decide everything."  The lesson has not been lost on the increasingly notorious Hungarian-cum-American George Soros.  A group backed by Soros is gearing up to steal the 2012 election for President Obama and congressional Democrats by installing left-wing Democrats as secretaries of state across the nation.  From such posts, secretaries of state can help tilt the electoral playing field.

PA Lawsuit Seeks Paper Trail for Election Day.  Twenty-five voters from across Pennsylvania sued the state today seeking to stop the use of electronic voting machines that do not provide back up paper records.  The records are necessary for people to verify that their votes were accurately recorded, attorneys said at a news conference at the Philadelphia offices of Drinker Biddle & Reath, one of the law firms representing the plaintiffs in the suit.

Arkansas Election Officials Baffled by Machines that Flipped Race.  Bruce Haggard, an election commissioner in Faulkner County, Arkansas, is baffled by a problem that occurred with two voting machines in this month's general state elections.  The machines allocated votes cast in one race to an entirely different race that wasn't even on the electronic ballot.

Some early West Virginia voters angry over switched votes.  At least three early voters in Jackson County had a hard time voting for candidates they want to win.  Virginia Matheney and Calvin Thomas said touch-screen machines in the county clerk's office in Ripley kept switching their votes from Democratic to Republican candidates.  "When I touched the screen for Barack Obama, the check mark moved from his box to the box indicating a vote for John McCain," said Matheney, who lives in Kenna.

The Editor says...
Uh-oh — a Republican conspiracy?  No, probably just unreliable computer hardware and a fashionable but inappropriate touch-screen interface.  If it were up to me, the software would arrange the candidates in a different random order on the touch screen ballots every time a voter stepped into the voting booth.  That way, errors of this sort would average out to zero, even if they went undetected.  If the software really was designed to change votes from one party to another, there would be no reason to have those changes show up on the screen.

On the other hand, I'll agree that if the software really is intentionally crooked, somebody should go to prison.  It is more important to hold honest elections than to have my favorite candidate win.  Unfortunately, some people don't see it that way.

All paper ballots garner a vote in Colorado.  Seeking a way to lead the state out of its voting-machine morass, Colorado Secretary of State Mike Coffman said Wednesday [12/26/2007] that he favors using paper ballots at polling places for the 2008 elections.  Coffman said he has more confidence in a traditional paper-ballot-and-polling-place system than relying only on electronic-voting kiosks.

Colorado Decertifies Voting Machines.  Secretary of State Mike Coffman cited security or accuracy problems in the decertified machines.  A number of electronic scanners used to count ballots were also decertified, including a type used by Boulder County.  Coffman said the system had a one percent error rate when counting ballots.

Not-so-secret ballots:  Two Ohio activists have discovered that e-voting machines made by Election Systems and Software and used across the country produce time-stamped paper trails that permit the reconstruction of an election's results — including allowing voter names to be matched to their actual votes.  Making a secret ballot less secret, of course, could permit vote selling and allow interest groups or family members to exert undue pressure on Ohio residents to vote a certain way.

Offer of a Vote for Sale Draws Unwanted Attention.  A Minnesota college student looking to profit off his political indifference has been charged with a felony for trying to sell his vote on the auction Web site eBay.  The student, Max P. Sanders, 19, of Edina, was charged Thursday [7/3/2008] with one count of bribery, treating and soliciting, a felony under an 1893 Minnesota law that criminalizes the sale and purchase of votes.

Audit Shows Florida Voting Machines Didn't Err.  An audit of touch-screen voting machines at the center of a dispute in a congressional election found no evidence of malfunction, the Florida secretary of state said Friday [2/23/2007].  The audit was conducted after more than 18,000 ballots were cast in Sarasota County without a selection in the District 13 congressional race in November between Republican Vern Buchanan and Democrat Christine Jennings.  Buchanan was the certified winner by 369 votes, but Jennings sued, alleging that the machines malfunctioned.

Hamilton Township election result flipped:  programming error.  On election day, 6 Nov 2007, the results were reportedly reversed in one race, for trustee, in Hamilton Township, Lawrence County, Ohio, as a result of "a programming error" in ES&S software. … One of the main problems with many current electronic voting machines is that recounting is not particularly meaningful if the votes are already incorrectly recorded, in the absence of a definitive independent audit trail.

Voting Machines:  Make Your Vote Count!  Many outdated paper ballots are being replaced by new, electronic voting machines … But there are many different systems, each with a unique design, set of instructions, buttons — and problems.  Now, human-factors engineers like Killam, along with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a rigorous, standardized test for all machines.

A Case Against Electronic Ballot Counting:  By manually counting paper ballots, integrity and trust is restored.  The time savings and convenience don't outweigh the costs when you factor in the distrust a closed, unverifiable system creates.  For almost 200 years, most elections in the U.S. were handled this way.  No, this doesn't alleviate fraud.  It does potentially save billions of dollars to the taxpayer by eliminating unnecessary technology purchases while restoring accountability in the electoral system.

Diebold Strikes Again!  Is it ever going to be possible to have an election in this country where some idiot lefty doesn't believe that voting machines were hacked and the results tampered with? … Diebold, you may recall, became infamous in Ohio during the 2004 election when some on the left tried to prove that the company helped Republicans steal the election.  And now, apparently, the company has switched allegiances and is working for the Clintons and the Democrats.

Where were you when you learned e-voting was unreliable?  For [Hugh] Thompson, the epiphany came after a conference a few years ago when someone asked him to inspect a widely used machine to see if it could be hacked.  "Things can't be as bad as I've heard rumors about them being," Thompson recalled thinking before he delved in.  In fact, he was wrong.  He found two holes that were so gaping they could have allowed someone to secretly throw an election.

Electoral Commission criticises London e-counting.  The Electoral Commission has registered concerns over the electronic counting of votes in London's recent elections.  It highlights a number of issues in a report on the elections for the mayor and the London Assembly.  Among these are apparent discrepancies between the number of ballot papers recorded as having been issued and the number scanned.

Electronic Voting Machines:  In the aftermath of the U.S.'s 2004 election, electronic voting machines are again in the news.  Computerized machines lost votes, subtracted votes instead of adding them, and doubled votes.  Because many of these machines have no paper audit trails, a large number of votes will never be counted.

Voting machine 'Smartcards' missing, GOP says.  Several electronic voting cards, used to cast ballots, are missing from a polling place in Memphis, according to the Tennessee Republican Party.  In a letter to the Shelby County Election Commission, state GOP chairman Bob Davis Jr. charges the "lack of oversight and control" over the so-called Smartcards "has created a situation which could allow for voter fraud."

Voters vanish in U.S.  [Edward W.] Felten and his students were able to break into an electronic voting terminal using a devilish piece of hi-tech equipment:  A key from a hotel mini-bar.  Once they hacked in, they installed a memory card infected by a virus that incorrectly recorded votes.  The professor pointed out that a compromised electronic counting program can easily manipulate a close election.  It is also next to impossible to detect.  The virus can pass from terminal to terminal and erase itself from the machine's memory as soon as the election is over.

Key made from website image could change your vote.  A hacker, using a photograph of keys to a Diebold touch-screen voting system available on the company's website, successfully duplicated two that were capable of opening the electronic balloting device now used in many states for elections.

Diebold Key Hack Story Updates:  Diebold — incredibly — posted a picture of the actual key which — incredibly — opens all Diebold touch-screen voting systems on their website.  Not so incredibly, the photo was subsequently used to hack the key and create working duplicates by an IT expert.  Just the latest jaw-dropping chapter in the incredible series of blunders by one of America's largest, and most irresponsible, voting machine companies.

Diebold voting machine key copied from picture on Diebold site.  In another stunning blow to the security and integrity of Diebold's electronic voting machines, someone has made a copy of the key which opens ALL Diebold e-voting machines from a picture on the company's own website.  The working keys were confirmed by Princeton scientists, the same people who discovered that a simple virus hack on the Diebold machines could steal an election.

What to do now that I have decided not to blame Diebold?  I don't hear those liberals who complained so much about the evil Bush-manipulated machines prior to the election questioning the integrity of the vote now that so many of those machines recorded Democrat wins, so I guess Democrats are having to change their "to do" lists as well.

Activists Sue to Block Electronic Voting.  Computerized voting was supposed to be the cure for ballot fiascos such as the 2000 presidential election, but activist groups say it has only worsened the problem and they've gone to court across the country to ban the new machines.  Lawsuits have been filed in at least nine states, alleging that the machines are wide open to computer hackers and prone to temperamental fits of technology that have assigned votes to the wrong candidate.

Most vote machines lose test to hackers.  State-sanctioned teams of computer hackers were able to break through the security of virtually every model of California's voting machines and change results or take control of some of the systems' electronic functions, according to a University of California study released Friday.  The researchers "were able to bypass physical and software security in every machine they tested," said Secretary of State Debra Bowen, who authorized the "top to bottom review" of every voting system certified by the state.

Voting machine chips check out.  A limited check of memory chips from a handful of Sarasota County's electronic voting machines found no anomalies, but more detailed analysis awaits, state auditors said Thursday [12/21/2006].  During a brief return visit to Sarasota, auditors removed the postage stamp-sized chips from six machines and compared their data to Election Day logs.

E-voting machines can be hacked, professor says.  A Princeton University professor is claiming that some of Sequoia Voting Systems' electronic touch-screen machines can be easily manipulated to throw an election.  In a blow-by-blow on his school Web page and in a separate filing for an electronic voting lawsuit in New Jersey superior court, computer science professor Andrew Appel details how he was able to purchase five of the Oakland-based company's AVC Advantage machines off a Web site auctioning government surplus items, pry open the backs and access the computer chips that control the vote count.

Pull The Plug.  You don't like hanging chads? Get ready for cheating chips and doctored drives.

Pull the Plug on Touchscreens.  Forbes Magazine (9/4/2006) included a commentary by Aviel Rubin where he complains about the "Help America Vote Act, which handed out $2.6 billion to spend on voting machines."  Avi's recent recommendation is that voters cast only optically scanned ballots that will be randomly audited. … If humans are deemed capable enough to audit ballot counts, they should also be allowed to directly prepare their own ballots without the intervention of a computer.

Officials Wary of Electronic Voting Machines.  A growing number of state and local officials are getting cold feet about electronic voting technology, and many are making last-minute efforts to limit or reverse the rollout of new machines in the November elections.

Where's the Paper Trail?  Supporters of computerized voting claim that voters with disabilities or non-English languages need computerized voting.  This is false.  Certified computerized ballot-marking machines with assistive attachments can enable voters with disabilities or non-English languages to mark and verify paper ballots.  All ballots, including absentee and provisional ballots, can be the same, thus simplifying the counting procedures.  Counting can be done by hand or optical scanners.  (When votes are counted by optical scanners, a manual audit must be done to confirm accuracy — optical scanners are computers too….)

Dutch government suspends computer voting.  On 28 Sep 2007 the Dutch government suspended all voting by voting machines.  In a report it was found that the systems were unsafe, not controllable and did not allow recounting.

Jennings, Buchanan camps spar over voting machine source codes.  An MIT political science professor who is an expert on election systems testified Tuesday [12/19/2006] that it's statistically unlikely that nearly 13 percent of Sarasota voters chose not to vote in a Southwest Florida congressional race.  A more likely conclusion to explain the unusually high "undervote" is that something went wrong in the preparation of voting machines, the expert, Charles Stewart, told a judge during a hearing over whether Christine Jennings' campaign can get access to computer codes used to program the electronic touchscreen voting machines.

Florida Judge Rules Against Dem. Candidate.  A judge ruled Friday [12/29/2006] that the Democrat who narrowly lost the race to succeed Rep. Katherine Harris cannot examine the programming code of the electronic voting machines used in the disputed election.  Circuit Judge William Gary ruled that Christine Jennings' arguments about the possibility of lost votes were "conjecture" and did not warrant disclosing the trade secrets of the voting machine company, Election Systems & Software.

Judge rules against Jennings, Democrats to seat Buchanan.  A judge ruled Friday [12/29/2006] that congressional aspirant Christine Jennings has no right to examine the programming source code that runs the electronic voting machines at the center of a disputed Southwest Florida congressional race.  Circuit Judge William Gary ruled that Jennings' arguments about the possibility of lost votes were "conjecture," and didn't warrant overriding the trade secrets of the voting machine company.  Democrats in Congress meanwhile, said they'd allow Republican Vern Buchanan to take the seat next Thursday, but with a warning that the inquiry wasn't over and that his hold on it could be temporary.  The state has certified Buchanan the winner of the District 13 race by a scant 369 votes.

Voting machines give Florida a new headache:  It used to be that everyone wanted a Florida voting machine. … But now that Florida is purging its precincts of 25,000 touch-screen voting machines — bought after the recount for up to $5,000 each, hailed as the way of the future but deemed failures after five or six years — no one is biting.

EFF sues North Carolina over electronic voting-machine certification.  North Carolina is being called to account for its decision to certify electronic voting machines made by three companies that refused to comply with the state's election transparency rules.

Electronic voting blamed for Quebec municipal election 'disaster'.  Quebec's chief electoral officer is urging the province to stop using electronic voting systems.  In a new report on problems with Quebec's 2005 municipal election, chief electoral officer Marcel Blanchet targets the electronic voting system used to collect and count the votes.  The election was an expensive disaster marked by errors, which produced inaccurate numbers and unreliable results, the report said.  And the new electronic system is to blame, it adds.

Is Florida Ready for Democracy?  According to Supervisor of Elections Kathy Dent and candidate [Vern] Buchanan, the undervotes were protests by voters repelled by a negative campaign.  This argument does not pass the straight face test.  To believe it, one would have to accept that the only voters who were unhappy were those who voted on electronic machines in Sarasota County.

Here is one opinion in favor of electronic voting:
E-voting Upgrades America's Ballot Box.  On Election Day 2006, more than 65 million Americans voted using direct recording electronic (DRE) machines.  Despite the hysteria over ballot booth meltdowns, voters can continue to be confident using e-voting systems, as they make voting simpler, safer, and more accessible than traditional paper ballots.  Historically, ballots were manhandled, facilitating low-level fraud as pre-scored cards and connect-the-line sheets were easily corrupted by poll workers with a simple punch or mark of a pen.

Computer problems with University of Wisconsin voting system.  An attempt to hold a campus election for the student council at the University of Wisconsin failed again due to "significant software errors", according to the University's Division of Information Technology (DoIT) group.  According to their news release, "DoIT detected a disparity between the number of student votes cast and the number of votes confirmed in the online election database."

Analysis of Fancy E-Voting Protocols.  The Neff scheme produces three outputs:  a paper receipt for each voter to take home, a public list of untabulated scrambled ballots, and a final tabulation.  These all have special cryptographic properties that can be verified to detect fraud.  For example, a voter's take-home receipt allows the voter to verify that his vote was recorded correctly.  But to prevent coercion, the receipt does not allow the voter to prove to a third party how he voted.

Fraudproof voting protocols from scientists.  Previous attempts to create such protocols have "succeeded" in mathematical senses, but only by employing very complicated cryptographic algorithms, challenging even for math PhDs.  Humans can't vote in those systems without computer aid, which means that each voter would have to own a small computer "helper" they trusted to be running correct, unhacked, voting software.

Voting glitches from the Novmber 7, 2005, Election:  [For example,] San Joaquin County [California] workers misplaced a memory cartridge for an optical-scan machine.  They rescanned the ballots but haven't found the cartridge. … Cumberland County, Pennsylvania – Two candidates in a race were both mistakenly listed as being from same party. … Lucas County, Ohio – This one is mysterious: "workers accidentally 'set an option [on the five machines] that prevented the results from being transported onto the memory card.'"

Touchscreen voting troubles reported.  Voters nationwide reported some 1,100 problems with electronic voting machines on [Election Day], including trouble choosing their intended candidates.  The e-voting glitches reported to the Election Protection Coalition, an umbrella group of volunteer poll monitors that set up a telephone hotline, included malfunctions blamed on everything from power outages to incompetent poll workers.

Government Probes Electronic Voting Machine Maker With Alleged Tries to Venezuelan President Chavez.  A U.S. manufacturer of touch-screen voting machines confirmed Sunday it was being investigated by the federal government for alleged ties to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez but flatly denied any connection.

I Voted ??

E-voting:  Communities across America are purchasing electronic voting (e-voting) machines, but the technology has serious security problems that aren't being addressed.  Most of the machines use "black box" software that hasn't been publicly reviewed for security.  Almost none provide voter-verifiable paper ballots to detect fraud.  A recent analysis by several academic researchers outlines the many and varied ways that anyone from a technically proficient insider to an average voter could disrupt an e-voting system to defraud an election.

Report blames Denver election woes on flawed software.  The software was supposed to make it easy for officials at any voting center to check online and make sure a voter had not already voted somewhere else in Denver.  Instead, it led to massive problems on Election Day due to "decidedly subprofessional architecture and construction," according to the report from consultants Fred Hessler and Matt Smith at Fujitsu Consulting in Greenwood Village, Colo.

Judge rejects electronic voting suit.  A federal judge on Monday [10/25/2004] rejected U.S. Rep. Robert Wexler's claim that paperless electronic voting violates the constitutional rights of Floridians.

Documents surface in NC with Deibold and Gaston Co.  In one city, Dallas, NC, a bug appears to have prevented the downloading of 11,945 votes which wasn't caught for seven days.  At which point, it appears the county compared paper print-outs from the precinct with the totals reported by the tabulation server.  A DESI technician reproduced the bug twice and then decided to forgo usual DESI protocol and loaded the flash-based memory packs directly into the central (GEMS) server to retrieve the votes from the memory pack.

Electronic voting machines vs Tempest technology.  Tempest is a code word for electromagnetic snooping.  It's usual for military electronics to be "Tempest hardened" in order to shield them from high-tech spying, disruptive interference, and EMPs.  It isn't an exaggeration these days to consider an election to be a military target.  In any case, a non-Tempest-hardened voting machine is likely to leak emissions that give a suitably-equipped passer-by the details of each voter's preferences.

Why E-Voting Still Is Not E-nough:  One way to build voter confidence is to allow voters to witness tangible evidence that the vote that they cast accurately reflects their intention.  Other important steps to voter confidence include preventing or overcoming security and malfunction problems.  The surest way to accomplish those goals is through heightened security procedures at all stages of the election.  No matter what voting machine system is chosen, carefully thought-out procedures are paramount.

Paper ballot
In California, voters can request a paper ballot, but they might not know that — or they might not be told.

Voting Machines Criticized, State Says Bugs Gone.  Jim Noel pored over election results two years ago, trying to understand his mistake.  As an attorney for the Democratic Party, Noel was examining records several days after the election that showed that about 48,000 people had voted early in Bernalillo County.  The unofficial election results, however, tallied only 36,000 votes in the governor's race.  "It didn't make any sense," Noel said last week in recalling the incident.  As it turned out, Noel wasn't mistaken.  The 12,000-vote discrepancy was caused by a software glitch related to the use of new electronic "touch-screen" voting machines.

Florida Has New Rule on Touch-Screen Recounts.  Florida set new guidelines for recounting touch-screen ballots in close elections, but voter-rights groups said the court-ordered decision doesn't go nearly far enough to ensure a fair election.

E-Vote Fears Soar in Swing States.  Following the 2000 election, when problems with punch cards left Florida's electoral votes in flux for 36 days before Bush was declared the winner with a 537-vote margin, state law was changed to require massive upgrades in nearly every county.  Now more than half of the voters in the state are expected to vote on touch screens this November, but that technology hasn't always proved itself a perfect fix.

Florida Voting Machines Have Recount Flaw :  Touchscreen voting machines in 11 counties have a software flaw that could make manual recounts impossible in November's presidential election, state officials said.

Lost Record '02 Florida Vote Raises '04 Concern.  Almost all the electronic records from the first widespread use of touch-screen voting in Miami-Dade County have been lost, stoking concerns that the machines are unreliable as the presidential election draws near.

E-Vote Machine Certification Criticized:  The three companies that certify the nation's voting technologies operate in secrecy, and refuse to discuss flaws in the ATM-like machines to be used by nearly one in three voters in November.  Despite concerns over whether the so-called touchscreen machines can be trusted, the testing companies won't say publicly if they have encountered shoddy workmanship.  They say they are committed to secrecy in their contracts with the voting machines' makers — even though tax money ultimately buys or leases the machines.

Rolling Down the Highway, Looking Out for Flawed Elections.  The elections director of Mohave County, Ariz., was so proud of his new electronic voting system that Bev Harris barely had the heart to point out its vulnerabilities.  But she did, and before long she was ticking off the ways that she said an outsider could hijack his central tabulator — the computer that stores all of the county's votes — and steal an election.  By the time she had shown him a "backdoor" way to gain access to his software without a password, the elections director was visibly concerned.

Reconsidering E-Voting:  My e-column last week, in which I attempted to get my brain around the experts' astoundingly different opinions on electronic voting machines, generated a huge number of reader responses.  One note came from David Dill, the Stanford computer science professor who has created a Web site, verifiedvoting.org, dedicated to the cause of voting-machine security.  "With electronic voting, a single programmer could make a change in voting machine software that would be installed in every machine in the country.  And there is no reliable way to detect that this has been done.  I intend this to be a strong statement!"

Electronic voting firm acknowledges hacker break-in.  A Bellevue, Washington, company developing security technology for electronic voting suffered an embarrassing hacker break-in that executives think was tied to the rancorous debate over the safety of casting ballots online.

The voting process is too important to leave to technology.  Depending on where you live, you may have stuck a piece of paper in box, or thrown a little mechanical lever, or punched a hole in a card.  Or pushed a button — beep!  John Smith gets your vote for school board president.  Or does he?  Electronic voting machines, it turns out, may or may not be counting your votes properly, if at all.

States scrutinize e-voting as primaries near.  Some states are raising last-minute security concerns over e-voting technology as much of the country prepares to switch over from mechanical to electronic ballots in time for the upcoming U.S. presidential election.

Why the Current Touch Screen Voting Fiasco Was Pretty Much Inevitable:  We were stupid to expect this thing to work as planned.  Except that as far as I can tell, there wasn't really a plan.  Here's what I think happened.  This is, unfortunately, far too common in the IT world.  After the last presidential election, there was a government outcry for an electronic voting system.  Firms like Diebold who make ATMs, check out systems and kiosk systems said, "Hey, we can make a voting machine out of one of our products."  That was probably the total extent of thinking and requirements put together by the government agencies and the vendors.

Ohio Halts E-Voting Machines.  Companies that tested the security systems of the four machine types found software that permits votes to be counted more than once, and a risk that unauthorized poll workers or others could gain access to the system.  Identical passwords were discovered for more than one poll worker, while voting booth cases did not provide for locks, leaving a risk of tampering during transportation of ballots.

Aussies Do It Right:  E-Voting.  While critics in the United States grow more concerned each day about the insecurity of electronic voting machines, Australians designed a system two years ago that addressed and eased most of those concerns:  They chose to make the software running their system completely open to public scrutiny.  Critics say the development process is a model for how electronic voting machines should be made in the United States.


"Suppose you had a situation where ballots were handed to a private company that counted them behind a closed door and burned the results," said David Dill, founder of VerifiedVoting.org. "Nobody but an idiot would accept a system like that.  We've got something that is almost as bad with electronic voting."*


Time to Recall E-Vote Machines?  There are numerous flaws in the system.  [For example] (1) Officials leave voting machines at polling stations days before the election.  The machines contain memory cards with ballots already loaded on them.  This means before the election, someone could alter the ballot file in such a way that voters would cast votes for the wrong candidate without knowing it.  (2) The memory card rests behind a locked door on the side of the voting machine.  But supervisors receive a key to the compartment the weekend before the election.  The same key fits every machine at a polling station.  And (3) Poll supervisors are selected with no background checks and are given keys to buildings where they can access the machines several days before the election.

Did E-Vote Firm Patch Election?  Researchers and auditors [from Diebold Election Systems] who examined code for the company's touch-screen voting system released two separate reports stating that the software was full of serious security flaws.

E-Voting Blunder Creates a Stir.  The strange case of an election tally that appears to have popped up on the Internet hours before polls closed is casting new doubts about the trustworthiness of electronic voting machines.  During San Luis Obispo County's March 2002 primary, absentee vote tallies were apparently sent to an Internet site operated by Diebold Election Systems, the maker of the voting machines used in the election.

E-Vote Software Leaked Online.  Software used by an electronic voting system manufactured by Sequoia Voting Systems has been left unprotected on a publicly available server, raising concerns about the possibility of vote tampering in future elections.

Black Box Voting Blues:  Unfortunately, the [Diebold Accu-Vote voting terminal] machines have "a fatal disadvantage," says Rep. Rush Holt of New Jersey, who's sponsoring legislation on the issue.  "They're unverifiable.  When a voter votes, he or she has no way of knowing whether the vote is recorded."  After you punch the buttons to choose your candidates, you may get a final screen that reflects your choices — but there's no way to tell that those choices are the ones that ultimately get reported in the final tally.  You simply have to trust that the software inside the machine is doing its job.

If You Want to Win an Election, Just Control the Voting Machines.  Perhaps, after a half-century of fine-tuning exit polling to such a science that it's now sometimes used to verify how clean elections are in Third World countries, it really did suddenly become inaccurate in the United States in the past six years and just won't work here anymore.  Perhaps it's just a coincidence that the sudden rise of inaccurate exit polls happened around the same time corporate-programmed, computer-controlled, modem-capable voting machines began recording and tabulating ballots.  But if any of this is true, there's not much of a paper trail from the voter's hand to prove it.

Declaration of Peter Neumann before a U.S. District Court:  The election process is inherently subject to errors, manipulation, and fraud.  It is a process that demands extraordinary integrity of any computerized systems involved, as well as honesty and experience of the people involved in administering elections.  Evidently, it may require considerable sophistication on the part of voters as well.  The highest potential risks relate to electronic systems — and worst of all Internet voting, limited by the intrinsic lack of security in Internet systems and a morass of sociological problems.  Old-style lever machines and well-managed optical scanning systems are typically more reliable and less subvertible than electronic ballot systems.  It is interesting to note that a very large part of the world still uses paper ballots marked with an X for the selected choice; that approach is considered very reliable and surprisingly quick in the counting phase when distributed into precincts with suitable oversight.

Electronic Voting:  A Can of Grubby Worms.  The year 2000 marked a departure from the traditional voting method using the tried and true ballot.  Suddenly, the general public began to distrust it, wanting to improve the process by using computer technology.  The cry went out for Uncle to assist the states in devising an electronic voting system capable of being all things to all people.  Almost immediately, the Clintons and other Leftists demanded that an electronic means of vote recording be employed.

Voter-verified paper trails:  In recent months, many people, including hundreds of prominent computer scientists, have raised an alarm about the reliability and security of "Direct Recording Electronic" voting machines (DREs), such as touch screen machines.  These machines produce no physical record of the vote while the voter is present.  Many believe that computer technology is not sufficiently advanced to make this kind of voting equipment safe.

Touch-screens dealt a blow.  In January 2003, Florida election officials reported that there was a higher rate of so-called undervotes among voters using the ATM-style equipment than those voters who mark paper ballots and feed them into an optical scanner.

E-voting critic issues challenge to hackers.  A leading critic of paperless electronic voting machines issued a challenge [recently] to computer hackers attending their annual Black Hat conference, encouraging them to test whether it's possible to rig an election.

California Bans E-Vote Machines.  California Secretary of State Kevin Shelley ended five months of speculation and announced Friday [4/28/2004] that he was decertifying all electronic touch-screen voting machines in the state due to security concerns and lack of voter confidence.  He also said that he was passing along evidence to the state's attorney general to bring criminal and civil charges against voting-machine-maker Diebold Election Systems for fraud.

Risks in Computerized Elections:  Errors and alleged fraud in computer-based elections have been recurring Risks Forum themes.  The state of the computing art continues to be primitive.  Punch-card systems are seriously flawed and easily tampered with, and still in widespread use.  Direct recording equipment is also suspect, with no ballots, no guaranteed audit trails, and no real assurances that votes cast are properly recorded and processed.  Computerized elections are being run or considered in many countries, including some notorious for past riggings; thus the risks discussed here exist worldwide.

Voting Automation (Early and Often?)  Computerization of manual processes often creates opportunities for social risks, despite decades of experience.  This is clear to everyone who has waded through deeply nested telephone menus and then been disconnected.  Electronic voting is an area where automation seems highly desirable but fails to offer significant improvements over existing systems.

Insider Risks in Elections:  Many discussions of voting systems and their relative integrity have been primarily technical, focusing on the difficulty of attacks and defenses.  This is only half of the equation:  it's not enough to know how much it might cost to rig an election by attacking voting systems; we also need to know how much it would be worth to do so.

Computer Experts Fear Fraud in Recall Vote.  California voters will be using touch-screen machines, which don't produce printouts voters can see.  And no paper printouts, the scientists say, would make a legitimate recount impossible.

Sore losers demanding a recount after an overwhelming defeat:

Introduction by The Editor:
It's almost comical when a presidential candidate demands a recount after losing by a ratio of 99-to-1.  Obviously the recount will allow the Democrats to "find" another truckload of straight-party Democrat ballots that weren't counted the first time.  As I understand the situation, they'll need to manufacture at least 10,000 more ballots to change the outcome of the election.  This effort has nothing to do with fair elections and everything to do with friction, obstruction and disruption.  It is also about manufacturing free publicity for a fourth-party fringe candidate whose campaign went almost unnoticed in 2016.

Update:
What Happened to Jill Stein's Recount Millions?  Shortly after the 2016 election, Jill Stein raised more than $7 million from shell-shocked liberals eager to pursue a swing-state recount.  Two years later, the U.S. Green Party's last candidate for president is still spending that money.  Ongoing litigation, travel costs, and staff salaries are also likely to eat up whatever is left, meaning those who donated to Stein are unlikely to receive a once-promised chance to vote on how the post-recount money would be spent.  Nor have donors been given much of a window into how Stein is actually spending their donations.

Jill Stein Recount Going Exactly as You Expect.  Before the Mueller coup won the soft hearts of progs from Marin County to Martha's Vineyard, before Hillary's Sour Grapes Across America tour, there was Jill Stein's recount.  Dr Jill Stein, DDS, PDHD, DOS, SNAFU, announced that there would be a recount of the election.  The more money gullible idiots sent her, the more recounting there would be.  Until the recount finally proved that Trump didn't win.  Jill Stein did.  Lots and lots recounting.  And now, hold on to your top hats, the recount is still going on.  And no, nobody's getting their money back.

Jill Stein to receive $2 million from recount campaign.  Almost like it was out of the movie The Producers, Jill Stein must have realized you can make a lot more money and get a lot more attention for a losing campaign than for a winning one.  That's exactly how her recount efforts played out.  The Washington Free Beacon reported that the former Green Party nominee would receive a $2 million refund for her efforts to get a failed presidential recount in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.  Stein told the Free Beacon that wouldn't personal pocket the money and instead use it to create a new voter integrity group.

The Election Was Not Hacked.  Despite the histrionic claims of the press, the election was not hacked.  The Democratic National Committee's lousy IT security allowed someone to access their emails which were then leaked.  Clinton's campaign manager John Podesta fell for an age-old phishing scam that was as believable as getting millions of dollars from a Nigerian prince.  Using the spotty media understanding of cybersecurity, they can claim that the DNC and Hillary's campaign were "hacked," but the election decisively was not.  And the press knows it.  In order to "hack" an election, a nefarious group would have to inltrate the voting systems of 50 states, plus DC and territories.  All of these systems are unique, with completely different architecture, ballot formats, tabulation processes, etc., etc.  This did not happen.  In fact, some hackers tried breaking into a few different states' systems weeks before the election, were quickly identied, and prevented from doing so.

Giving Driver's Licenses to Illegal Aliens Makes Illegal Voting a Real Possibility.  A December 28 report in San Jose's Mercury News noted that two years after the implementation of AB 60, a controversial law allowing illegal aliens to obtain driver's licenses in California, an estimated 806,000 illegal residents have received driver's licenses, according to the latest Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) statistics.  However, the fallout from that law is even worse than allowing more than four-fifths of a million illegal aliens on the road.  On October 10, 2015, Governor Jerry Brown signed Assembly Bill 1461, the New Motor Voter Act, which will automatically register people to vote through the DMV, and could result in illegal aliens voting.

Ripoff: Here's How Jill Stein Spent Her Recount Money.  With the votes certified in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, and the statewide recount halted by a federal judge in Michigan, Jill Stein's doomed efforts to overturn the results of the 2016 election have all but come to an end.  Now, it's been revealed that the failed Green Party candidate spent nearly one million of the more than seven million dollars she raised to support her efforts on consultants, staff, and administrative costs, according to a report by The Washington Free Beacon.

Stein's Mad Money:  Nearly $1 million of recount funds spent on consultants, staff.  According to a breakdown of expenses contained on the fund's website, Stein paid nearly $1 million on consultants and staff.  The staff payroll tallied $212,500 while consultants pocketed $364,000.  Administrative expenses, such as travel costs, ran $353,618.  In all, $930,118 was used to pay consultants, staff, and administrative costs.  Filing fees in the three states cost $4,488,939, the group says.  Wisconsin filing fees totaled $3,499,689, Pennsylvania fees were $16,000, and Michigan filing fees ran the group $973,250.  Legal expenses cost the group $1.6 million.

Donald Trump's lead by 131 votes.  Wisconsin's historic presidential recount ended Monday resulting in a net gain of 131 votes for President-elect Donald Trump over Democrat Hillary Clinton, the Wisconsin Elections Commission said.  Trump added 844 votes to his total for the Nov. 8 election, while Clinton added 713.  Overall, the commission said, voters cast 2.976 million ballots.  The recount resulted in a net increase of 837 ballots.  "Completing this recount was a challenge, but the real winners are the voters," Elections Commission Chairman Mark Thomsen said in a statement after signing off on the statewide results.  "Based on the recount, they can have confidence that Wisconsin's election results accurately reflect the will of the people, regardless of whether they are counted by hand or by machine."

Stein spent nearly $1 million of recount funds on consultants, staff, admin expenses.  Green Party nominee Jill Stein spent nearly $1 million of the funds she raised for recount efforts in three battleground states on consultants, staff, and administrative costs.  Stein, who pushed for recounts in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, raised $7.3 million for the efforts and said that "every dollar" went towards costs associated with the recount efforts.  The group, which claimed costs associated with the recounts hit $7.4 million, upped their fundraising goal four times since first calling for recounts.

Well done!  Donors to Jill Stein have paid $3.5 million to help widen Trump's margin of victory in Wisconsin.  The possibility this could happen is why Stein and the Green Party had "no refunds no exchanges" fine print on their recount donation agreement.

As Wisconsin Recount Finishes Up, $7M Finds 25 Votes for Hillary (131 Votes for Trump).  With all 72 Wisconsin counties now reporting completion and about 100% of the votes counted, the net result has been a gain of 131 votes for Donald Trump.  The counties reporting completion include the state's two Democratic powerhouses, Dane County (in which the state capital, Madison, is situated, fondly nicknamed by the rest of the state "Moscow on Lake Mendota" for its leftist leanings) and Milwaukee County, where the state's largest city is located.  Neither county has reported any major discrepancies.  According to the Wisconsin Election Commission, Trump gained 844 votes from the recount, and Clinton gained 713 votes.  Stein gained an additional 66 votes.  That means that, for most of us, nothing changes.

Georgia Accuses Homeland Security Of Attempting To Hack State's Election Database.  Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp is anxiously wondering, as are we, why someone with a Department Of Homeland Security IP address would try to hack into his State's voter registration database.  Even though DHS offered cyber security help to states prior to the election, the Wall Street Journal notes that Georgia was one of the states that specifically denied assistance.

Even Bigger Win — Wisconsin Recount Ends, Trump Gains Even More Votes.  With the ridiculous recount now officially ended, the Wisconsin Election Commission has certified their election results.  The result?  Trump with a net gain of 162 more votes, expanding the result to over a 22,000 vote margin of victory.

Judge Denies Stein's Pennsylvania Recount Request.  U.S. District Judge Paul Diamond was not impressed by Jill Stein's request for a statewide, presidential ballot recount.  Monday morning, Judge Diamond denied failed Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein's recount request.

Green Party candidate Jill Stein concedes Michigan recount is over.  Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate in the recent presidential election, conceded on Friday that there would not be a recount of votes in Michigan.  During a rally that drew dozens of supporters in frigid Detroit temperatures, Stein slammed the voting system in the Wolverine State, The Detroit News reported.  The Michigan Supreme Court put a halt to the recount a day earlier by a vote of 3-2, ending whatever faint hopes there were of going over all 4.8 million ballots.

Recount efforts end:  Trump wins in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania.  Presidential election recount efforts came to an end Monday [12/12/2016] in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, with both states certifying Republican Donald Trump as the winner in contests that helped put him over the top in the Electoral College stakes.

US judge rejects Green Party's Pennsylvania recount case.  A federal judge is rejecting a Green Party-backed request to recount paper ballots in Pennsylvania's presidential election, won by Republican Donald Trump, and scan some counties' election systems for signs of hacking.  The rejection by U.S. District Judge Paul Diamond on Monday [12/12/2016] is the latest roadblock to a Pennsylvania recount.

Jill Stein Needs to Stop Colossal Failure Recount Effort, and Give Millions Back to Duped Donors.  Jill Stein has collected $7.3 million dollars, and she is still begging for more.  The new goal for the recount is $9.5 million.  And get this, on her website, the Green Party candidate is still pushing the fantasy that recounts are somehow going to happen in Michigan and Pennsylvania.  On top of some significant legal setbacks, the deadline for states to certify results is December 13.  That's in just four days.  With a recount halted in one state, and not even underway in another, there is just little feasible way this is going to happen in time.  When Stein first started this effort she said she needed to raise $2.5 million.  When she quickly saw the coffers fill, she changed her goal to $7 million.  And now the Stein campaign claims they are desperately in need of almost $10 million to get this done.

Federal judge halts recount, sealing Trump's Michigan win.  A federal judge who ordered Michigan to begin its recount effectively ended it on Wednesday [12/7/2016], tying his decision to a state court ruling that found Green Party candidate Jill Stein had no legal standing to request another look at ballots.

Cavuto Confronts Stein Over Recount:  You 'Pick and Choose' Which States to Sow Doubts In.  Fox's Neil Cavuto faced off with Jill Stein this afternoon over her recount efforts and why she's focusing on just three states that Hillary Clinton happened to lose.  He repeatedly pressed her on why she picked those specific states and not, say, any that Clinton won.  Stein insisted that Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin were three states that were "red-flagged" for potential tampering, saying that "people have incredible doubts."  At one point, when Cavuto pointed out that voting machines can only be hacked if they're online, Stein shot back that "people walk around and they reprogram these machines" with things like "floppy disks."

Trump Picks Up Dozens of Votes in Wisconsin Recount.  The recount effort underway in Wisconsin is turning out to have some disappointing results for former Green Party nominee Jill Stein and former Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.  By the end of the fifth day, and after more than 1 million votes were recounted, Trump grew his lead by just over two dozen votes.

Election Recounts Continue To Prove To Be A Complete Waste Of Time; Michigan Recount Continues.  I have nothing against election recounts.  Elections decided by hundreds of votes in which many were cast, require it at times.  However, when elections are won by tens of thousands of votes, the chances a recount will change anything is slim to none.  The fiasco currently going on in Wisconsin is making Hillary Clinton look like a fool.  Jill Stein is a lunatic so her ripping off donors for a recount doesn't surprise me.  But Hillary Clinton should know better.  Chances are, she signed on to this thing at the behest of some of her idiot campaign people who convinced her there was a chance.

Wisconsin recount is working well for someone after all:  Results so far show TRUMP was under-counted.  The Green Party-led presidential election recount in Wisconsin has turned up a surprising result:  Donald Trump, not Hillary Clinton, was short-changed on November 8.  Trump prevailed in the Badger State by 22,871 votes.  The ongoing recount has widened his margin by 146 so far.  Just 23 of Wisconsin's 72 counties have completed their second go-round, but the president-elect has gained 105 votes.  Clinton has lost 41.

What Hillary and the 2003 Yankees Have in Common.  One month after Election Day, Hillary Clinton still hasn't — in the words of Chris Wallace — "absolutely accept[ed] the result of the election."  As Wallace put it in the third presidential debate, when addressing Donald Trump, "Sir, there is a tradition in this country ... that the loser concedes to the winner and the country comes together in part for the good of the country."  At the time, Clinton called the notion that anyone would do otherwise "horrifying."  Fast forward to December.  Clinton, who lost by the not-exactly-razor-thin margin of 74 electoral votes (306 to 232), has joined a desperate recount effort, while her partisans continue to claim her advantage in the national popular vote somehow carries great weight.

Michigan recount now in doubt; Pennsylvania sets hearing.  Michigan's presidential recount suddenly became in doubt Tuesday as a state appeals court said the Green Party candidate's poor showing disqualified her from seeking a second look at the votes.

Stein seeks to disqualify 2 justices in recount case.  Green Party candidate Jill Stein wants two Republican-nominated justices on the Michigan Supreme Court disqualified from considering a lawsuit seeking to stop the election recount because they're on President-elect Donald Trump's U.S. Supreme Court nomination short list.  Southfield attorney Mark Brewer, who is representing Stein, filed a motion Tuesday morning [12/6/2016] seeking to have Chief Justice Robert Young Jr. and Justice Joan Larsen disqualified from hearing a lawsuit brought by Attorney General Bill Schuette.  "Chief Justice Young and Justice Larsen thus have a substantial personal and professional interest in the election of Trump as president," Brewer wrote in the filing.

Trump Picks Up Dozens of Votes in Wisconsin Recount.  The recount effort underway in Wisconsin is turning out to have some disappointing results for former Green Party nominee Jill Stein and former Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.  By the end of the fifth day, and after more than 1 million votes were recounted, Trump grew his lead by just over two dozen votes.

Green Party drops bid for statewide Pennsylvania recount.  A Green Party-backed campaign changed its strategy to force a statewide recount of Pennsylvania's Nov. 8 presidential election, won by Republican Donald Trump, and said late Saturday night [12/3/2016] that it will seek help in the federal courts, rather than the state courts.

Jill Stein escalates recount demands in face of criticism, seeks federal court help.  Green Party candidate Jill Stein escalated her quixotic campaign for a presidential recount Monday [12/5/2016] in several battlegrounds where Donald Trump narrowly beat Hillary Clinton, vowing at a press conference outside Trump Tower not to "give in" as she seeks federal court help to force statewide tallies in the face of bipartisan criticism.

Florida voters sue for recount.  Three central Florida voters are mounting an unlikely bid to overturn the presidential election result in the Sunshine State.  In a lawsuit filed Monday in Leon Circuit Court, they assert that Hillary Clinton, not Donald Trump, actually won Florida.  The plaintiffs, who live in Osceola and Volusia counties, say the state's official election results were off because of hacking, malfunctioning voting machines and other problems.

Half of Detroit votes may be ineligible for recount.  One-third of precincts in Wayne County could be disqualified from an unprecedented statewide recount of presidential election results because of problems with ballots.  Michigan's largest county voted overwhelmingly for Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton, but officials couldn't reconcile vote totals for 610 of 1,680 precincts during a countywide canvass of vote results late last month.  Most of those are in heavily Democratic Detroit, where the number of ballots in precinct poll books did not match those of voting machine printout reports in 59 percent of precincts, 392 of 662.

Hillary's dream of sneaking into the White House on the back of recount in three key states ends after Jill Stein drops crucial Pennsylvania challenge.  Jill Stein said she will seek help from the federal courts as she continues her push for a recount in Pennsylvania.  The Green Party candidate said she will ask for an emergency court order on Monday to spark the count, hours after she dropped the case in the state courts when a judge demanded she pay an extra $1 million.  Campaign lawyer Jonathan Abady made a statement late on Saturday night saying the battle was far from over.

The Never-ending Story of Election Recounts.  Jill Stein, the Green Party's nominee for president, has succeeded in getting Wisconsin to recount the votes in the recently concluded election.  She's also seeking a recount in Michigan and Pennsylvania.  Her motives and chances for changing election results are for others to comment on.  But there's a far more concerning factor here:  the fact that 16 years after the Florida 2000 recount, America is still conducting election recounts.  They shouldn't be necessary.  But Democrats love recounts, because they can result in overturning elections that produced GOP winners.  Democrats just keep doing recount after recount until they win, and then they shut down the recount process.  But why should the last count be more correct than the preceding ones?  In the gubernatorial election of 2004 in Washington state, Republican Dino Rossi won on Election Day with 261 votes.  He then won the first recount by 42 votes.  But after new ballots were "discovered" and a "hand recount" was held and the courts refused to consider claims of fraud, the Democrat won.  The same thing happened in the 2008 Minnesota election for U.S. senator.

Green Party will switch to federal court for Penn. recount bid.  A Green Party-backed campaign changed its strategy to force a statewide recount of Pennsylvania's Nov. 8 presidential election, won by Republican Donald Trump, and said late Saturday night [12/3/2016] that it will seek help in the federal courts, rather than the state courts.

First Day Of Wisconsin Recount Nets Hillary One Vote.  The first day of Wisconsin's presidential recount narrowed the gap between former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and President-elect Donald Trump by precisely one vote.  Trump defeated Clinton in Wisconsin's initial tally by about one percent, or just over 22,000 votes.  Nevertheless, Green Party candidate Jill Stein (who finished a very distant fourth) is demanding a full recount after suggesting fraud or technological glitches may have swayed the results.  In response to Stein's demand, Wisconsin began recounting all its ballots Thursday.  But the first results to emerge suggest the final tally will be rather close to the original one.  Only Menominee County, home to the Menominee Indian Reservation, fully reported its recounted results on the first day.  It found 17 extra votes for Stein and 12 for Libertarian Gary Johnson, while removing two votes from Trump and one from Clinton.

FEC Complaint Alleges Jill Stein is Serving as Front for Clinton Campaign in Recount Effort.  The Republican Party of Wisconsin filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission on Wednesday that alleges Jill Stein is allowing her campaign to be used as a front for Hillary Clinton's campaign in the recount effort.  Stein has denied those allegations.  This was all set in motion over the weekend beginning with Clinton campaign's attorney, Mark Elias, writing a lengthy blog post that explained how the Clinton campaign received hundreds of calls to "investigate claims that the election results were hacked and altered in a way to disadvantage Secretary Clinton."  He detailed the exhaustive measures the campaign undertook to investigate these allegations and said they ultimately concluded they "had not uncovered any actionable evidence of hacking or outside attempts to alter the voting technology."

Stein's recount effort is a sham.  [Jill] Stein was the standard bearer for the Green Party, and as such she garnered about 1 percent of the vote nationwide.  Even the laughable Libertarian, Gary Johnson, got three times more votes than she did, and neither one of them had a realistic chance to ever become president.  Yet Stein has grasped for a permanent place in history by filing for a recount in the presidential vote in three states that were crucial to the Electoral College victory of Donald Trump — Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

Michigan Officials:  Stein's Recount Demand Odd for Candidate Who Got 1% of State Vote.  Failed Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein officially filed a petition for recount in the state of Michigan, but state officials find the request odd, since Stein got a mere one percent of the state's vote.  Stein filed her petition on Wednesday [11/30/2016], insisting that the election had been "tarnished," CBS News reported.

Michigan Recount Postponed After Trump Files Objection.  President-elect Donald Trump filed an objection with the Michigan Bureau of Elections on Thursday, regarding the vote recount initiated by Green Party candidate Jill Stein.  According to a statement from Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson, recount activities will be postponed pending a decision on the objection by the Board of State Canvassers.  The Board is scheduled to consider Trump's objection on Friday, and will have five days to make a decision.  The recount was supposed to begin in two counties on Friday, and in other counties over the weekend.

Michigan's attorney general acts to stop recount.  Michigan's attorney general, Bill Schuette, announced Friday [12/2/2016] he would file suit to stop a recount in the state requested by Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein, CNN reports.  "Today I am filing suit to stop [Dr. Jill] Stein's frivolous, expensive recount request," Schuette wrote on Twitter.  The state's top law enforcement official said that he had "filed an emergency motion with the Mich Supreme Court to bypass the Court of Appeals to ensure a timely process."  Stein on Wednesday officially filed a request for a recount in Michigan, where Donald Trump was named the winner earlier this week.

Trump team makes legal bid to block all THREE recounts as lawyers for the president-elect call Stein suit a 'farce'.  Donald Trump and his backers have launched formal legal bids to stop recounts in, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan that are being pushed for by failed Green Party candidate Jill Stein.  Lawyers for Trump's campaign have entered arguments in Pennsylvania and Michigan — calling Stein's quest a 'farce' — and in the latter, the state attorney general has filed to stop the recount effort he says 'abuses the intent of Michigan law'.  Trump's supporters are taking legal action in Wisconsin where a third recount effort is underway.

Michigan AG Files Lawsuit Against Jill Stein's 'Frivilous' Recount Effort.  Michigan's Republican attorney general filed a lawsuit on Friday to halt a vote recount attempt pursued in the state by Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein.  "Michigan voters rejected Stein's candidacy by massive margins but her refusal to accept that state-verified result poses an expensive and risky threat to hard-working taxpayers and abuses the intent of Michigan law," Bill Schuette said in a statement, Politico reported.  "We have asked the court to end the recount which Stein is pursuing in violation of Michigan laws that protect the integrity of our elections.  It is inexcusable for Stein to put Michigan voters at risk of paying millions and potentially losing their voice in the Electoral College in the process," he continued.

Trump supporters sue to halt Wisconsin, Michigan recounts.  A pair of lawsuits aimed at halting vote recount efforts were filed Friday by a Donald Trump supporters in Wisconsin and the state attorney general in Michigan.  The Wisconsin lawsuit, filed by the Great America PAC and the Stop Hillary PAC, allege the recount requested by Green Party candidate Jill Stein is unconstitutional because it violates the due process due rights of individuals who voted for President-elect Trump.  The recount effort got underway Thursday and officials with the Wisconsin Elections Commission said it will continue unless a judge orders otherwise.  Election results indicate that Mr. Trump won Wisconsin by about 22,000 votes — or about 1 percent of the ballots cast in the state.

Lawmaker:  Wisconsin recount campaign 'appalling and tyrannical'.  Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein insists her recount campaigns in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania are all about voter integrity, not politics.  That's a hard sell for many conservatives, who see the effort at best as a political stunt and fear the reason behind it could be much more nefarious.  There is growing concern that the unprecedented Wisconsin recount could cost the Badger State its 10 electoral votes.  State Rep. Dave Craig asserts that may have been by design.  "That could have been one of the ideas behind (the recount)," said the Town of Vernon Republican.  "It would be appalling and tyrannical if that is what is meant to occur by having this process unfold like that.  To simply negate electoral votes of this election, I simply cannot come up with a word more fitting than treacherous."

Pennsylvania State Department says Stein missed recount deadline.  Jill Stein has everything she needs to launch a presidential recount.  She's got the cash, the grassroots fervor and the spotlight of an adoring media.  But there's one thing she needs to overturn Trump's victory:  a calendar.  Stein missed Pennsylvania's deadline to file for a voter-initiated recount.  That blown deadline is a huge blow for Democrats who have pinned their hopes on recounts in the Keystone State, Michigan and Wisconsin.  "According to Wanda Murren, spokeswoman for the Pennsylvania Department of State," the Philadelphia Inquirer reported Monday, "the deadline for a voter-initiated recount was Monday, Nov. 21."

While raking in millions for recount effort, Jill Stein complains about Wisconsin upping cost estimate.  Green Party candidate Jill Stein has already raised millions of dollars for recounts — some of which won't even happen (read the "fools and their money are soon parted" clause in fine print on the donation form).  One place where a recount might go forward, with the Hillary campaign's blessing, is Wisconsin.  Like everything else though, the cost is going up rapidly, and Stein isn't happy about it.

Stein: We want recounts because the polls said Hillary would win.  In a revealing interview on The Alan Colmes Show Monday afternoon, failed Green Party candidate Jill Stein conceded (perhaps inadvertently) that the reason she's calling for a recount in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania is, in part, because Hillary Clinton was expected to win those states.

Green Party Rebels Against Jill Stein:  "We Do Not Support The Recount".  In a letter penned by Green Party Senate Candidate Margaret Flowers, and signed by dozens of prominent GPUS members, the Greens have rebelled against the farcical "recount effort" conducted by Jill Stein, saying "while we support electoral reforms, including how the vote is counted, we do not support the current recount being undertaken by Jill Stein."  The reason for this is that as the author notes, "as a candidate, Dr. Stein has the right to call for a recount.  However, we urge the GPUS to distance itself from any appearance of support for either Democrats or Republicans. [...]"

While presidential recount continues, Clinton lawyer wants GOP to stop North Carolina recount.  Hillary Clinton's legal counsel gives some confusing advice.  Democratic super-lawyer Marc Elias, known for his expertise in recount and election law, has demanded Republican Gov. Pat McCrory drop his calls for a North Carolina recount, on behalf of the apparently victorious Democrat Roy Cooper.  Meanwhile, Elias is charging ahead on Clinton's behalf in an anticipated three-state recount that is far less likely to change the result of the presidential election.

Stein recount
Jill Stein's Recount Effort Just Got Bad News.  Just when you think this whole recount farce couldn't get any more ridiculous, you realize that we're talking about Green Party candidate Jill Stein and Democrat nominee Hillary Clinton.  Stein's very expensive, time-consuming, and baseless call for a recount hit a snag in Pennsylvania when the candidate, who once bashed Clinton as likely to plunge the country into WWIII should she be elected, forgot to mark down an important filing date on the calendar.


Jill Stein's recount is a scam — and it also trolls Trump.  Jill Stein's cynical push for recounts in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan has two obvious goals: to raise more political cash, and to "troll" President-elect Donald Trump.  She's succeeding on both fronts — the interests of the nation [notwithstanding].  It's a pander to liberal hysteria over Trump's win that will doubtless feed conspiracy theories for years to come.  (At least she left Florida out of it this time.)  Yet no recount has any chance of even vaulting Stein past Gary Johnson into the third-place slot.  The odds are huge that the effort won't flip a single state to Hillary Clinton, who needs all three to reverse the Electoral College result.  And if Stein really wanted Hillary to win, she shouldn't have run in the first place:  Her vote in two of the states was more than Trump's margin over Clinton.

Clinton Files Motion to Join Recount Lawsuit in Wisconsin.  Hillary Clinton's attorney filed a motion Tuesday seeking to join the lawsuit filed by Jill Stein in Wisconsin.  According to Dane County court records, Hillary Clinton is now listed as an "intervenor" in the case.  The lawsuit was originally filed on Monday by Stein after the Wisconsin Elections Commission declined to require that county leaders undergo the recount of votes by hand.  Instead, the Elections Commission said that the recount would move forward but each county would decide themselves whether to proceed by hand or through an electronic method.  So far, Donald Trump has not filed a similar motion to join the case.  "We must recount the votes so we can build trust in our election system," Stein said in a statement.

Obama Throws Hillary Under The Bus:  Says Recount Is A Waste Of Time.  With the recount now underway in Wisconsin, and Hillary's team officially supporting it (after saying they'd accept the results of the election) it's time to call this so-called recount for what it is: nonsense.  Barack Obama did so, throwing Hillary Clinton under the bus for even getting involved in such nonsense: [...] Green Party Candidate Jill Stein's argument, basically, is that voter machines in three states showed increased support for Trump, and therefore may have been tampered with.  Then there's the money-grab:  Stein initially said it would cost $2.5 million to raise the money for the recount, then it was $4.5 million.  Now that she's raised $6 million, her goal is $7 million.  They claim that the "surplus funds" will go toward "election integrity efforts and to promote voting system reform," which is a meaningless statement.  She might as well pocket the cash.  There's zero accountability.

Clinton Attorney Marc Elias' Election Recount Hypocrisy is Politics at its Worst.  Marc Elias is a well-known top Democratic Party attorney who is involved in several high-profile recount efforts this election season.  What makes Elias's participation particularly noteworthy is that he is calling for the end of a Republican led recount in North Carolina, while arguing the three other recount efforts in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan (that could help Hillary Clinton) should be allowed to proceed.  It is such a patently obvious display of partisanship and hypocrisy that it may make even a true political hack like Harry Reid blush.

Jill Stein Can't 'Guarantee' Money Will Go to Recount, Changes $$$ Goal.  Before you donate to Green Party candidate Jill Stein's effort to demand a recount in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, you may want to read the fine print on her website.  So far, she has raised $4.8 million, but take a look at this little clause at the end of donation form:  ["]We cannot guarantee a recount will happen in any of these states we are targeting.  We can only pledge we will demand recounts in those states.  If we raise more than what's needed, the surplus will also go toward election integrity efforts and to promote voting system reform.["]  And interestingly, as more donations started pouring in over the holiday, Stein moved her total fundraising goal to $7 million.  She originally had a goal of $2.5 million.  She also upped the amount she will need for lawyer's fees.

7 Reasons Jill Stein's Recount Is A Scam.  [#1] There is no evidence that the election results weren't reliable.  As the Daily Wire has explained, there is nothing to suggest that the electronic voting machines were hacked.  Donald Trump's advantage over Hillary Clinton in electronic voting was a result of demographics, not a hack, and Michigan's ballots were all paper.  The entire premise for Stein's recount is false.  [#2] When Stein first announced her recount efforts, her goal was to reach $2.5 million.  Now it's $7 million.

Stein sues after Wisconsin refuses to order hand recounts.  The Wisconsin Elections Commission agreed Monday to begin a recount of the presidential election on Thursday but was sued by Green Party candidate Jill Stein after the agency declined to require county officials to recount the votes by hand.  It will be a race to finish the recount in time to meet a daunting federal deadline, and the lawsuit could delay the process.  Under state law, the recount must begin this week as long as Stein or another candidate pays the $3.5 million estimated cost of the recount by Tuesday, election officials said.

Stein demands recount in key states as Trump officially wins Michigan.  Michigan certified Donald Trump as the winner of its electoral votes Monday [11/28/2016], but expects to face a recount as the president-elect's opponents vow to fight the results of the Nov. 8 election, pursuing new counts in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.  Green Party candidate Jill Stein, who placed a distant fourth in the national presidential voting, said she's ready to pay for the recount in Wisconsin, and added her voice to calls for a recount in Pennsylvania, ahead of a Monday deadline.  The deadline for demanding a new count in Michigan is later this week.

Time for Jill Stein, Hillary Clinton to call it quits.  Election Day 2016 arrived not a minute too soon, according to just about everyone in America.  Now, Hillary Clinton has joined fellow presidential also-ran Jill Stein in an effort to keep it going.  It's not only much too little and far, far too late — it's a waste of time and effort that could be better spent elsewhere.  When news dropped that Stein's bid for a recount in Wisconsin was successful, I was with a friend who spent the weeks before Election Day traveling to Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and other states as part of a Democratic grass-roots get-out-the-vote push.  Her suggestion of what Stein should do in lieu of filing recount petitions cannot be printed in this paper.

Green Party Fleeces Sheeple and Files for Recount in Wisconsin.  The difference between the Democrat and Republican party has always been the distinction between one side who will do anything, say anything, manipulate anything, and fight to the death to get their way — and the other party being polite Republican surrender monkeys.

Plot to move Hillary Clinton into White House.  A vote recount in a major US state narrowly won by Donald Trump has been announced — sparking fears there could be a plot to sneak Hillary Clinton into the White House.  The shock move to reassess results in Wisconsin follows the filing of a petition to the state's elections organiser by two groups, one of which backed US Green Party Presidential candidate Jill Stein.  Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator Michael Haas said:  "The Commission is preparing to move forward with a statewide recount of votes for President of the United States, as requested by these candidates."

Michigan preparing for potential hand recount of 4.8M presidential votes.  Just in case, the State of Michigan is preparing for a recount of nearly 4.8 million votes cast in the 2016 presidential race.  Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate for president, has raised more than $5 million to pay for recounts in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan.  She filed a formal recount request Friday afternoon with the Wisconsin Elections Commission and faces a Monday deadline in Pennsylvania and Wednesday in Michigan.  A recount won't be cheap, and it will be a monumental task for the Secretary of State and 83 county clerks around Michigan.

Donald Trump blasts Jill Stein 'scam' Wisconsin recount, issues call to accept results.  President-elect Donald Trump denounced the effort to recount votes in 3 states as a "scam" engineered by Green Party candidate Jill Stein, calling on voters to accept the election's results, which he insisted would not be changed by new ballot counts.  On Saturday [11/26/2016], the campaign of Democratic contender Hillary Clinton said it would back Stein's efforts to take a fresh look at voting results in Wisconsin, a crucial swing state that narrowly backed Trump over Clinton, as well as in Michigan and Pennsylvania.  Stein has been raising millions for more than a week — more than she did for her entire campaign, in fact.

The Seven Main Reasons Democrats Shouldn't Donate to Jill Stein's Recount Fund.  [#1]  The amount she's asking for keeps increasing.  The amount of money needed for the recount has been suspiciously creeping upward since the fundraising drive was launched.  At first, the goal was $2.5 million.  Now it's $7 million with no real explanation as to why the additional money is needed.

Trump lashes out at Green party's Jill Stein for forcing 'ridiculous' recount in Wisconsin.  Donald Trump has lashed out at Green Party candidate Jill Stein calling her Wisconsin ballot recount a 'scam' designed to get money after Hillary Clinton's campaign said they would take part.  Clinton's team said on Saturday [11/26/2016] it would be part of a recount initiated by Stein in Wisconsin and the defeated Democrat's campaign would also support similar action if a recount was initiated in Michigan and Pennsylvania.  Trump accused Stein of just trying to 'fill her coffers with money' by initiating the 'ridiculous' ballot recount.

The Editor says...
Hillary Clinton has already conceded defeat — weeks ago.  What would be the purpose of demanding a recount in a race where the smallest margin is on the order of 10,000 votes?

'It is a SCAM by the Green Party!' Trump slates Jill Stein's election recount plan.  Donald Trump has slated Dr Jill Stein's calls for a US presidential election recount as a "scam".  He said the Green Party candidate, who received less than one per cent of the popular vote on November 8, was ignoring the will of the people.  Dr Stein is currently fundraising for enough money to file for recounts in the swing states of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, where Mr Trump secured slight victories.  She has not stated any intention to push for a recount in any states Mrs Clinton won.

US Green Party raises enough funds for Wisconsin recount.  The former Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein has raised the necessary $1.1 million to request a vote recount in Wisconsin, her campaign announced Thursday [11/24/2016].  The Midwestern state was a key battleground in the November 8 election, helping propel the Republican President-elect Donald Trump past his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton to a victory that shocked the nation.

Jill Stein Raises Enough Money To Force Wisconsin Recount Michigan & Pennsylvania Up Next.  A couple of days ago we wrote about a group of scientists, which included voting-rights attorney John Bonifaz and J. Alex Halderman, the director of the University of Michigan Center for Computer Security and Society, who announced they had found "persuasive evidence" that results in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania may have been manipulated or hacked.  Of course, they presented absolutely no evidence to support their startling claim other than to point out that Clinton received, on average, 7% fewer votes in counties that used electronic voting machines rather than optical scanners and paper ballots.  Apparently that was all the evidence that Jill Stein needed to be convinced that she might have a chance in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan where she received 1.1%, 0.8% and 1.1% of the vote, respectively.
