Why Dave Rubin is ‘optimistic’ about Trump’s re-election chances
•Nov 13, 2020
Glenn Beck
Some Trump supporters believe the president’s recount fight is a lost cause. But others, like Dave Rubin, are more optimistic. He joins Glenn to discuss why he believes President Trump MUST have something big in his arsenal to successfully finish his battle for the White House. After all, Trump has played the media and the left SO well thus far, Rubin says. So he believes it’s very unlikely Trump didn’t adequately prepare to finish this fight.

Leftist Groups Accidentally Prove Pennsylvania Elections Officials Violated Laws And Judge's Orders
Leftist Groups Accidentally Prove Pennsylvania Elections Officials Violated Laws And Judge’s Orders
By Brock Simmons
Published November 13, 2020 at 7:44pm
To combat Trump’s motions to battle the election fraud taking place in Pennsylvania, various different leftist organizations have filed a motion to intervene in the case. As part of this motion, they included several affidavits from various community members. In some of those affidavits, citizens swear that they were contacted by people at the elections office and/or by the democrat party and were informed that there was a problem with their ballot, and they needed to come down to the elections office and cure the problem.
This is in direct defiance of the orders previously given by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, which specifically stated that voters are not to be contacted to cure a ballot.
Furthermore, why are voters being contacted by partisan party officials, when it should be elections officials contacting them?
Still another concern is that this is contrary to what the “fact checkers” have told us regarding proper policy and procedure.
6. In the November 2020 general election, I originally completed and returned to election officials in my county a mail-in ballot in mid-October.
7. This ballot was rejected because I failed to include the secrecy envelope to seal my ballot.
8. I learned that this ballot was rejected because elections officials called me the day before Election Day to let me know that the ballot would not count.
9. After learning that my first ballot was not accepted, I went to the elections office so I could understand what was going on. The elections officials showed me an example of the required secrecy envelope, but this envelope was not included with my mail-in ballot.
10. The officials told me to vote in person. Therefore, on Election Day, I cast a provisional ballot at my local polling place.
Yet another affidavit, from Meril Lara, includes:
6. In the November 2020 general election, I originally completed and mailed to election officials in my county a mail ballot on approximately October 22 or 23, 2020.
7. This ballot was cancelled or rejected because I failed to place it inside the secrecy envelope.
8. I learned that this ballot was rejected because I received an email from elections officials stating that my ballot was missing a second envelope. I tried calling the number provided int he email a few times but didn’t get through to anyone.
9. Worried that my vote would not be counted, on Election Day, I went to my local polling place at Solis Cohen School at 7001 Horrocks Street, Philadelphia, PA 19149. I completed a provisional ballot there.
Yet the Pennsylvania Supreme Court issued an opinion on September 17th that read, in part: “… a mail-in ballot that is not enclosed in the statutorily-mandated secrecy envelope must be disqualified“ and Act 77, passed into law last year, specifies “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.“
Moreover, the Trump motion alleges “The Pennsylvania Supreme Court recently reaffirmed that “ballots that voters have filled out incompletely or incorrectly” shall be set aside and declared void, and election boards are not permitted to afford these voters a “notice and opportunity to cure””
So how were these individuals contacted before that specified time? Or even contacted at all? Which is it?
This presents another problem for these elections officials.
The self anointed “fact checkers” were to quick to defend the acts, claiming that the workers were transcribing the votes from spoiled/damaged ballots that couldn’t be read by the machines to fresh ballots, saying “Because the county received some ballots that were damaged, they couldn’t be scanned, Marofsky said. The scanner manufacturer has advised that the best solution for damaged ballots that can’t be scanned is to transcribe the votes onto a clean ballot and scan that ballot instead.”
Except there doesn’t seem to be anything in the law that grants them authority to do such, and, in fact, is contrary to their own directives. Additionally, the ones they are allegedly discarding do not appear to be physically damaged, so perhaps there were too many marks on the ballot or for some reason the machine wasn’t reading the marks correctly.
Their own “Election Day Workers Guide” for Delaware County, dated October 30th, 2020, specifies that in the case of a spoiled ballot:
If the voter marked too many choices, the scanner will reject the ballot and allow the voter to remove it.
When this happens, instruct the voter to remove the ballot from the scanner, fold the ballot in half, and take it to the board to be placed in the Spoiled Ballots envelope.
The board will issue a new blank ballot to the voter and direct them back to the voting booth to make their choices
And:
If the voter makes a mistake on their ballot and wishes to mark a new one, instruct the voter to fold the mismarked ballot in half and take it to the board to be placed in the Spoiled Ballots envelope
Several different scenarios will result in a spoiled ballot:
Voter makes too many selections, and the scanner rejects the overvoted ballot
Voter makes a mistake when marking selections and requests a new ballot
Voter surrenders (remits) a mail-in ballot they chose not to fill out
Voter surrenders (remits) an absentee ballot they chose not to fill out
When a voter brings a mismarked or overvoted ballot to the board to be spoiled, complete the following steps:
Ask voter to fold their ballot in half (if they have not already done so), place it in an envelope, and seal the envelope
File the sealed ballot envelope in the Spoiled Ballots Envelope
Fill in the requested information on the Spoiled Ballot Log
Give the voter a blank ballot and direct them back to the voting booth
Delaware County, from where the videos were originated, uses the Hart Verity 2.3.4 voting machines. Hart says they do not give user manuals out to the public, so us peasants aren’t privy to what they actually say.

STUNNING TESTIMONY: Michigan Election Observer Shane Trejo Witnessed Drivers Bring in 50 Boxes of "Absentee Ballots" After Midnight Deadline into Detroit TCF Center at 3:30am | The Gateway Pundit | by Benjamin Wetmore

STUNNING TESTIMONY: Michigan Election Observer Shane Trejo Witnessed Drivers Bring in 50 Boxes of "Absentee Ballots" After Midnight Deadline into Detroit TCF Center at 3:30am
THE MAN WHO SAW THE MICHIGAN STEAL
Shane Trejo witnessed the 3:30am Biden Ballot Drop that gave Michigan from Trump to Biden.
The media has called this “unsubstantiated” but Trejo describe it to The Gateway Pundit in full detail.
No media outlet has contacted or spoken with Trejo about this incident. This is part of the constant media suppression and cover up of news about voter fraud around the country.
“There were thousands of ballots in each box,” Trejo says. “There were at least 50 boxes that I saw unloaded at 3:30am, well after the 8:00pm deadline for ballots to show up.”
“They should have been dumped on us at once, when there wasn’t a potentiality of fraud. There was no reason for them to show up this late at night.”
Shane Trejo believes that those were fraudulent votes and that the election was stolen.
Trejo was the intrepid journalist behind the exclusive series, #DetroitLeaks, that documented the training for Detroit poll workers where they were trained how to fight Republicans and how to cover up evidence of stealing the vote.
The 3:30am the Biden Ballot Drop was the first ballot delivery since 10:30pm, then 138,000 ballots showed up suddenly. Trejo says the ballots could not be processed right when they arrived, so by the time they were starting to be counted, a new shift of poll workers had started.
This is important because Trejo explains that the Biden Ballot Drop was dropped off at the end of one shift and left uncounted, so when the new shift came to count ballots they didn’t know where the ballots had come from.
Trejo repeatedly asked about this truck to site supervisors and was STONEWALLED.
Trejo also connects the Biden Ballot Drop with the ejection of GOP Poll Challengers and covering up of windows at the TCF Center by Detroit election workers. According to Trejo, this was done to prevent anyone from seeing the ballots from the Biden Ballot Drop from being counted, often with missing signatures, and missing envelopes.
The 3:30am Biden Ballot Drop was covered up by ejecting GOP Poll Challengers and by the literal covering up of windows so no one could see the ballot fraud going on.
The mainstream media has tried to explain the Biden Ballot Drop as either video equipment being delivered or food, but Trejo is adamant that he saw that these were absentee ballots. Other witnesses saw the same delivery and saw the absentee ballots that were in the boxes.
Trejo took down the license plates and descriptions of all the people involved, and hopes that litigation will reveal this massive voter fraud that stole Michigan from President Trump.
Trejo and his primary publisher, Big League Politics, were sent a cease-and-desist to remove all articles, video, and audio documenting their series #DetroitLeaks last week. This series captured the training for Detroit poll workers that showed how they could cover up illegal voting. That series predicted many of the things that GOP Poll Challengers describe happening in Detroit on election night.
Some media outlets are trying to claim that this was video and camera equipment being unloaded. At the time, several witnesses said they were told this was a food delivery even though it was the middle of the night. Witnesses have also said that it is notable
“There’s no way this was camera equipment, I could see the boxes and could see what they were doing. What kind of camera equipment has fifty boxes of ballot-like papers sticking out of them? Why would the City Clerk of Detroit be moving video equipment at 3:30am in the one spot where ballots were being dropped off?”
Witnesses say that an announcement was made over the loudspeaker that a new round of ballots had arrived and would be counted, causing poll workers to inexplicably cheer. Another announcement was made around 5:00am that those ballots had been counted.
Another eyewitness, a government employee in Michigan who said he feared repercussions, said that at his table he overheard the team leader say that it was a “lost driver” who had now arrived with absentee ballots.
Trejo claims the media has done zero journalism to investigate his story and claims.
“No media outlet seems interested in this story, and whenever I try to share it on social media it gets deleted.”

BREAKING: Orange County Flips ANOTHER Seat Red - Republican Young Kim Defeats Democrat Incumbent Gil Cisneros
Young Kim
California – Orange County flipped another congressional seat red on Friday.
Republican Young Kim defeated crooked Democrat incumbent Gil Cisneros in California’s district 39.
According to the Associated Press, with 99% reporting, Young Kim received 172,253 votes to Gil Cisneros’ 168,108 votes.
In 2018, Orange County, a traditionally conservative enclave in Southern California turned all blue after Democrats found hundreds of thousands of votes post election day.
In 2018, the 39th district was officially called for Democrat Gil Cisneros over Republican Young Kim who was up by 3 points on election night and was set to be the first Korean-American Congresswoman. The Democrats stole this race with ‘late votes.’
In 2018, Young Kim was up by 3,900 votes on election night with 100% of the precincts reporting according to AP and she ended up losing by 3,000 votes 11 days after the election.
Ballot harvesting and Democrat voter fraud destroyed Orange County.
But Young Kim did not give up and she ended up defeating crooked Democrat Gil Cisneros this time around.
On Monday, Republican Michelle Steel defeated Democrat incumbent Harley Rouda in Orange County’s 48th district.

As a Californian, I was concerned at how many of our counties were using Dominion voting machines. I had read that Hunter Biden and Gov. Newsom were friends. I also know he is crooked as hell, with staff involved in his multi-$million bogus mask scheme. His Aunt, is Nancy Pelosi, who appears to have financial interest in Dominion.
CA is no longer a conservative state, but it seems like liberals have over-run and infiltrated every government corner. Here is something I found out about Dominion.
Counties were told on April 20 of this year that those counties that had not yet switched out old systems under a 2018 matching grant needed to do so. They were given a choice of three approved systems:
Secretary of State Alex Padilla Sets Deadline for Counties to Retire Old Voting Machines and Modernize Election Infrastructure :: California Secretary of State
Secretary of State Alex Padilla Sets Deadline for Counties to Retire Old Voting Machines and Modernize Election Infrastructure
www.sos.ca.gov
The following three voting systems have been tested and certified to the California Voting System Standards:
- Dominion Voting Inc.’s Democracy Suite 5.2 Voting System
- The County of Los Angeles’ Voting Solutions for All People (VSAP) Tally 1.0 System
- HART InterCivic’s Verity Voting 3.0.1 Voting System.
- Dominion Voting Systems, Inc. - Democracy Suite 5.10;
- County of Los Angeles - Voting Solutions for All People (VSAP) Tally Version 2.0; and
- Election Systems and Software, Inc. - EVS 6.0.4.2
I visited the hearing site and read the testimonies. I noticed a mention of DefCon, which is an annual hackers convention. Apparently, they have a Voters Village where hackers work on voting equipment to discover vulnerabilities. Although they issue reports, it seems that the manufacturers and users don't seem to address what they discover.
Here is what they discovered with Dominion equipment:

Dominion Imagecast Precinct Picture: Dominion ImageCast Precinct with Ballot-Marking Device screen turned to face the scanner (back) side of the machine.
The Dominion ImageCast Precinct is an integrated hybrid voting equipment. It combines an optical paper ballot scanner and ballot marking device and allows for nonvisual accessibility for the blind and visually impaired, in compliance with HAVA. This machine provides voters with disabilities the same opportunities for access and participation as other voters.
This device integrates the devices and the ballot box to store the cast ballots in to one unit, but has a single locking mechanism that holds the entire ballot box together. If picked, ballots could easily be stolen using common items such as a standard trash picker.
Participants were able to access USB, RJ45, and CF slots on this machine without using destructive force.
The system also runs Busybox Linux 1.7.4, which has twenty currently known medium to high level vulnerabilities including the ability to allow remote attackers to allow a DNS through CPU/bandwidth consumption via a forged NTP packet which triggers a communication loop with the effect of Denial-o f-Service attacks.
* * Search Results. Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures. Accessed September 26, 2019. CVE - Search Results keyword=busybox. Page Page319
Boot settings also allow for the system to be booted from an external USB on startup.
Importantly, the CF card and card readers on the front and back of the machine are physically exposed, and could be replaced.
Additionally there is an internal USB port that is not exposed and an external CF slot that is covered by a tiny door. Either slot can be used to load the OS. Boot order is USB then CF.
The door opens by unscrewing one of the screws. The screws in question were so-called secure screws. Participants made a quick run to a nearby electronics store to purchase “Security Bits Set with Ratchet Driver” for under $28 which was used to open all ‘security screws’ used in any of the machines.
Picture: Small unmarked lid on the side of the machine for accessing CF card slot inside of the machine. So-called “secure screw” tips can be commonly purchased from any electronic store.
When participants removed the CF card on the front of the machine, they found scanned ballots and the configuration file in the clear. In the absence of other protections, modifying configuration data could allow an attacker to edit which X/Y locations on the scanned ballots matched with which candidate. Participants found no digital signing or encryption protecting those digital files.
Participants responsible for much of the work on this machine identified themselves willingly: Zander Work, Lyell Read, Cody Holiday, Andrew Quach, Steven Crane, Henry Meng, and Nakul Bajaj. As a group, they were able to boot an operating system of their choice and play video games on the voting machine, including a popular game called “Pong”. These participants averred that by bringing a simple screw driver and CF card in to the voting area, an attacker could use a screw driver to access the machine’s intended CF card and swap it with the card they brought, allowing the attacker to boot an arbitrary operating system and take control over the machine.
The group was able to browse the file system on the CF card, proving that the file system was unencrypted and unprotected. Page Page 320 Ac

Many of the hacks that were demonstrated at DEFCON would likely work on all models of the Dominion ImageCast design, as the different versions have similar components. So the ICE is as vulnerable to these hack as other models.
In this photo, researcher/hackers connected an Ethernet cable to a port very close to where voters scan their ballots. It took less than 5 seconds. The researchers said they could connect their cable to a very small device called a "raspberry" that would allow them to inject malicious code through the Ethernet cable. This could happen easily and unobtrusively in the amount of time that most voters vote.

Biden-Harris aim to cripple cops nationwide in name of Black Lives Matter
The law enforcement community must get out in front of this issue before that wave of federal scrutiny breaks upon them. The task is all the more urgent after a summer of violent leftist rioting and rising violent crime in urban cores. Police commissioners should hold regular news conferences laying out the crime realities in their cities. They should show maps of where 911 and 311 calls originate from. Those maps reveal a disproportionate number of requests for police enforcement coming from minority neighborhoods. Police leaders must break the taboo regarding black-on-black crime. It is that crime, not racism, that sends officers to minority neighborhoods.
Unless they start building a case for proactive policing now, the anarchy of the last five months will worsen and become the new national norm

Pretty much my view of things, too.
Trump's election was a complete surprise in 2016. The Deep State had 4 years to make sure such an anomaly never happened, again.
This is the result and the end of the nation as Ben Franklin warned us.
On the final day of the Constitutional Convention in 1787, when our Constitution was adopted, Americans gathered on the steps of Independence Hall to await the news of the government our founders had crafted. They asked Benjamin Franklin, ‘What do we have, a republic or a monarchy?’ Franklin replied, ‘A republic, if you can keep it.’

Pennsylvania Secretary of State Won’t Order Recount
JOSHUA CAPLAN13 Nov 20207,378
Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar (D) on Friday 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.”
The announcement comes as former Vice President Joe Biden leads President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania by roughly 60,000 votes. 40,000 provisional ballots cast have been counted or partially tallied, according to state officials.
“We are extremely grateful to all 67 counties who have been working overtime and putting in an extraordinary effort to count every vote, with so far more than 6.8 million votes having been counted,” Boockvar stated. “The counties continue to adjudicate and count the approximately 100,000 provisional ballots issued to voters at the polls on Election Day, as well as the more than 28,000 military and overseas ballots that were cast in this election.”
Earlier Friday, attorneys for the Trump campaign withdrew from representing him in challenges to election results in Pennsylvania. The New York Times reported that Porter Wright lawyers “have held internal meetings to voice similar concerns about their firm’s election-related work for Mr. Trump and the Republican Party, according to people at the firm. At least one lawyer quit in protest.”

Fri, 11/13/2020 - 21:00
Authored by Victor Joecks via The Las Vegas Review Journal,
Clark County election officials accepted my signature on eight ballot return envelopes during the general election. It’s more evidence that signature verification is a flawed security measure.
For months, election officials have told Nevadans not to worry about ballots piling up in apartment trash cans or sent to wrong addresses.
I wanted to test that claim by simulating what might happen if someone returned ballots that didn’t belong to him or her. Plenty of people had this opportunity. Billy Geurin, a 10-year Las Vegas resident, found five loose ballots in his apartment mailroom. A reader emailed me a picture of a pile of mail on the side of the road, which included loose ballots. There are numerous pictures of similar examples on social media.
Nine people participated in this test. I wrote their names in cursive using my normal handwriting. They then copied my version of their name onto their ballot envelope. This two-step process was necessary to ensure no laws were broken.
On Monday, I asked Clark County Registrar Joe Gloria about this scenario. If ballots signed by someone else “came through, we would still have the signature match to rely on for identity,” he said. Asked if he was confident the safeguard would identify those ballots, he said, “I’m confident that the process has been working throughout this process.”
He was wrong. Eight of the nine ballots went through. In other words, signature verification had an 89 percent failure rate in catching mismatched signatures.
This could explain how a ballot “signed” by Rosemarie Hartle, who died in 2017, made it through signature verification, as reported by 8 News Now. It could explain how Jill Stokke, a longtime Las Vegas resident, was told the signature on her ballot matched, even though she said she never received it.
County officials aren’t working proactively to determine whether unscrupulous actors abused this vulnerability in a widespread fashion. Gloria’s office doesn’t “have an investigatory team.” He said his office catches fraudulent votes “when they’re reported to us.” So if a criminal doesn’t admit he committed voter fraud, Clark County is unlikely to find out about it. Willful ignorance isn’t an election security strategy.
Leave aside the presidential race. Fewer than 200 votes separate the leading candidates in Senate District 5. In 2018, state Sen. Keith Pickard won his race by 24 votes. Even small amounts of fraud can swing results.
It’s unclear how much voter fraud took place in Nevada. But it’s clear signature verification isn’t the fail-safe security check elections officials made it out to be.

Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar (D) on Friday 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.”
The announcement comes as former Vice President Joe Biden leads President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania by roughly 60,000 votes. 40,000 provisional ballots cast have been counted or partially tallied, according to state officials.
“We are extremely grateful to all 67 counties who have been working overtime and putting in an extraordinary effort to count every vote, with so far more than 6.8 million votes having been counted,” Boockvar stated. “The counties continue to adjudicate and count the approximately 100,000 provisional ballots issued to voters at the polls on Election Day, as well as the more than 28,000 military and overseas ballots that were cast in this election.”
Earlier Friday, attorneys for the Trump campaign withdrew from representing him in challenges to election results in Pennsylvania. The New York Times reported that Porter Wright lawyers “have held internal meetings to voice similar concerns about their firm’s election-related work for Mr. Trump and the Republican Party, according to people at the firm. At least one lawyer quit in protest.”
I have to wonder what the state legislater is going to say about that?....

Authored by Jack Phillips via The Epoch Times,
The chairman of the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) stated that he believes there is evidence of voter fraud and other alleged irregularities.
In a recent interview, FEC Chairman Trey Trainor said reports of fraud in some battleground states are credible “otherwise they would allow the [poll] observers to go in,” referring to reports of some polling areas refusing to allow GOP observers to check on the process on Election Day and the days after.
In the interview, he agreed with Trump’s campaign lawsuits, while saying that questionable actions by elections officials in several states could make the election illegitimate.
Trainor, an appointee of President Donald Trump, noted that state laws allow those observers to be there, and “if they’re not,” then it’s an “illegitimate election.”
Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar, a Democrat who is in charge of the state’s elections, has denied claims there is fraud or irregularities in her state.
Trump campaign’s allegations of voter fraud as well as the claim that 10,000 people voted out-of-state in a news conference last week.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS)’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency on Thursday concluded that the Nov. 3 election “was the most secure in American history,” saying that “election officials are reviewing and double checking the entire election process prior to finalizing the result.”

Trump Law Firm Quits Pennsylvania Case After Project Lincoln 'Cancel' Campaign
Fri, 11/13/2020 - 14:45
A law firm representing the Trump campaign's efforts to challenge the Pennsylvania election results gave notice late Thursday that they are withdrawing from one of the cases.
While no reason was given for the decision by Porter Wright Morris & Arthur LLP, Bloomberg notes that it was one of two law firms targeted by the Lincoln Project - a group of 'never-Trump' Republicans devoted to removing Trump from office.
On Tuesday, the group encouraged people to join LinkedIn and target individual employees of Porter Wright and another law firm, Jones Day, and "Ask them how they can work for an organization trying to overturn the will of the American people."
People responded with screenshots of the law firm employees they harassed:
A Trump campaign spokesman blamed "cancel culture" for the firm's exit.
"Leftist mobs descended upon some of the lawyers representing the President’s campaign and they buckled," said campaign communications director, Tim Murtaugh. "If the target were anyone but Donald Trump, the media would be screaming about injustice and the fundamental right to legal representation. The President’s team is undeterred and will move forward with rock-solid attorneys to ensure free and fair elections for all Americans."
Here's another 'cancel' crusader bragging about the left's latest scalp:
Another attorney who is not affiliated with Porter Wright will remain on the case in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. A hearing on the state's motion to dismiss the suit in federal court is scheduled for Tuesday.
The firm's work for the Trump campaign was led by Pittsburgh office partner Ronald Hicks, co-chair of their election law practice.

Georgia Embarks On Largest Hand Re-Tally Of Ballots In US History
Fri, 11/13/2020 - 11:50
Authored by Tom Ozimek via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),
Election officials in Georgia’s 159 counties are undertaking a hand recount of the presidential race stemming from a “risk-limiting audit” that is required by state law, which when completed will be the largest hand re-tally in the history of the United States.
The law requires that one race be audited by hand to check that the machines counted the ballots accurately. Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger chose to audit the presidential race and said the tight margin, with Democrat Joe Biden leading President Donald Trump by 14,072 votes—means a full hand count is needed.
Gabriel Sterling, Georgia’s voting system implementation manager, told a press conference on Nov. 12 that the hand recount is a normal part of the risk-limiting audit and its objective is to “instill confidence” in the accuracy of electronic voting machines and, more broadly, the election.
The audit is a new requirement that was included in a 2019 law that also provided guidelines that the state used to purchase a new election system from Dominion Voting Systems for more than $100 million.
President Donald Trump claimed in a tweet that Dominion software “DELETED 2.7 MILLION TRUMP VOTES NATIONWIDE.” The president’s reelection campaign announced that it will file a lawsuit in Michigan that, besides alleging voting irregularities, will seek a review of the Dominion software, which has been linked to issues in several states, including in several counties in Georgia that saw voting machines crash.
Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel and other GOP officials claimed that a glitch in the Dominion software switched 6,000 GOP votes to Democrats in Michigan, a switch that was spotted and later corrected.
Antrim County Clerk Sheryl Guy initially attributed the problem to a combination of a software glitch and human error, but later said the Dominion software had no part in the mistake and blamed the problem solely on human error. Both Dominion and the Michigan Secretary of State have disputed allegations that its software led to vote-tallying problems.
Dominion Voting Systems said in a statement that it “denies claims about any vote switching or alleged software issues with our voting systems.”
A Nov. 12 joint statement from a coalition of federal and state elections officials, released by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency that spearheaded federal election protection efforts, said: “there is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.”
Sterling, in his press briefing, said the manual recount “will be the largest hand re-tallying audit in the history of the United States” and that he expects it will yield numbers that are “slightly different.”
He referred to a manual recount in Michigan in the 2016 election, which involved the re-tallying of around 2 million ballots and saw Trump pick up around 750 votes and Democratic contender Hillary Clinton picking up around 150 votes.
He said the risk-limiting audit hand re-tally would start at 9 a.m. on Friday and would conclude at midnight on Nov. 18.
While there is no mandatory recount law in Georgia, state law provides that option to a trailing candidate if the margin is less than 0.5 percentage points. Biden’s lead stood at 0.28 percentage points as of Thursday afternoon.
Once the results from the risk-limiting audit are certified, the losing campaign can request a regular recount, which will be done using scanners that read and tally the votes, Raffensperger said.
The Trump campaign has called on Georgia election officials to conduct a full hand recount of all ballots and take other steps to ensure “confidence in our electoral process.” This includes a full comparison of absentee ballots cast and in-person and provisional ballots cast, and for carrying out a voter eligibility check to make sure no felons or other ineligible individuals cast a vote in the state.

Michigan AG: Trump's Voter Fraud Lawsuits Are Racist
Fri, 11/13/2020 - 11:44
Authored by Steve Watson via Summit News,
The Michigan Attorney General declared Thursday that President Trump’s efforts to force a recount in the state through the courts are racist.
Democrat Dana Nessel bizarrely contended that the lawsuits centre around the notion that black people are to blame for voter fraud.
Nessel’s “proof” to back up her claims is that Trump’s lawsuits are focused on Detroit, rather than outside counties in the state. Because Detroit has more black residents, that somehow makes Trump’s lawsuit racist.
Of course, Detroit is the biggest urban area in the state, so it makes perfect sense that Trump’s suits are focused there, as that’s where the most votes are.
The Detroit Free Press reported this week that Trump has filed a suit in federal court alleging that “there was enough wrongdoing involved in counting votes in Detroit that a judge should temporarily prevent the certification of election results in the city and throughout the state.”
The suit has over 100 affidavits, according to the report.
Nessel has charged that Trump is “forum shopping,” for courts that will be sympathetic to his challenges.
She proclaimed that if she had tried such a move “this baseless and this frivolous, I would be sanctioned and I would likely be looking at a loss of licensure.”
Nessel is an avid anti-Trumper, routinely offering deranged comparisons of the President to Nazis and Adolf Hitler:

Robert Bridge: How The Democrats Weaponized A Pandemic To Beat Donald Trump
Thu, 11/12/2020 - 23:40
Authored by Robert Bridge via The Strategic Culture Foundation,
The one question that continues to haunt political observers is ‘How was Joe Biden, 77, able to get away with such a low-energy, low-carb campaign, in what has been described as the most consequential election in U.S. history?’ Let’s be so bold as to peek into the brain of this political genius who was somehow able to upset the 5D chess grandmaster of our times, Donald J. Trump.
As the Republican incumbent was flying non-stop to multiple rallies around the country in the days leading up to Nov. 3, Biden preferred to remain hunkered down in his basement, leaving for the occasional ice cream cone, or photo-op at some airfield where he waved to imaginary crowds on a deserted runway. Judging by such lackadaisical behavior, it almost seemed that Biden knew he had nothing to worry about. And perhaps he didn’t.
Trust the pandemic
The one notable factor that has distinguished the 2020 election season from those in the past was the outbreak of coronavirus in January of this year. Now that’s not to suggest, of course, that Biden was such an evil genius that he placed an order for a biblical scourge to visit America precisely when it did. After all, only a sociopath or maybe a billionaire software developer with no medical degree would ever fantasize about the outbreak of a plague. Yet it remains doubtful that some individuals, particularly craven campaign managers and surgical mask salesmen, failed to see the short-term advantage of Covid-19 reaching America’s shores when it did. To quote the modern Machiavellian Democrat, Rahm Emanuel, one must “never let a good crisis go to waste.” And it must be said that the Democrats have played this pandemic for everything it’s worth.
Lock it down
When the coronavirus began tearing through the Heartland, Democrats, as well as Republicans, began to introduce tough measures lest a single person get infected by said virus. Few political leaders, after all, wanted to stand accused of ‘killing grandma.’ But whereas the Republican states began to ease up on their restrictions over time, giving their people some breathing room, the Democrats double-downed on the lockdowns. Keeping their economies in a straitjacket, they allowed thousands of businesses to die a slow, agonizing death, while banning or severely curtailing any and all social activities, including weddings, funerals, school attendance and church services. With breathtaking cynicism, however, exceptions were made for Black Lives Matter ‘peaceful protests,’ which had a vivious tendency for applying the final coup de grace on those very businesses that were languishing.
Here is the Wall Street Journal describing the slaughter:
Meanwhile, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Michigan – major Democratic strongholds – inexplicably required nursing homes to admit seniors who had acquired COVID-19.
On March 25, 2020, the state of New York ordered:
That was a very strange decision especially when there was no shortage of hospital beds – even at the peak of Covid cases. That much became clear in March when Trump dispatched the naval hospital ship USNS Comfort to New York City as part of the government’s response to the ongoing pandemic.
Instead of sending the sick and elderly into nursing homes, New York Governor Cuomo now had the option to let these people recover aboard the vessel, where they would not have subjected hundreds of vulnerable residents to the disease. Instead, Cuomo told Trump in April that the medical ship was no longer needed.
So who got the heat when the U.S. death rates from Covid began to climb, predominantly from deaths among the elderly? Not Governors Cuomo, Murphy, Whitmer and Wolf, that’s for sure.
Aside from their murderous consequences, the measures put forward by the Democratic states had, and continue to have, the ‘negative’ effect of destroying much of the economic gains made during the four-year reign of the odious ‘Orange man’, thus seriously hindering his chances of reelection.
No failing with the mail-in?
But by far the greatest gift that Covid could have given to the Democratic Party was the excuse to begin mail-in voting, and just in time for the Trump-Biden clash. Here is where the Biden campaign found it indispensable to have the mainstream media and Big Tech firmly in its corner. The major social media platforms, Twitter and Facebook, assumed the responsibility (which was not, it is important to emphasize, given to them under Section 230 of the Communications Act) of flagging any person, including the President of the United States, who dared to suggest that mail-in voting was loaded with a number of pitfalls and trap doors. Even the White House has provided a list of examples.
Was it just a coincidence that the exact scenario that Trump had been warning would happen – reported mass examples of fraud connected to mail-in ballots – eventually came to light? On election night, Trump was enjoying a comfortable lead in the critical swing states of Georgia, North Carolina, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Then, something that has never happened before in an American election happened: those states suddenly stopped counting their votes, saying they would continue the process the next day. So what happened in the interim? Nothing good, it appears. First, there have been multiple reports of votes being delivered to counting stations throughout the night.
In one particular case, Connie Johnson, a poll watcher from Detroit, Michigan, provided her personal account over Facebook as to how she discovered that over 130,000 ballots had reportedly arrived at the city’s ballot-counting facility at 4 a.m. in the morning. According to Johnson, every single one of those ballots was cast for Joe Biden, which would seem to be a mathematical impossibility. Moreover, Republican poll watchers were denied access to the count because, as they were told, the permitted “capacity” inside of the hall been reached. Once again, Covid was to blame.
Across the country, in Philadelphia, Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Guliani held a press conference where several poll watchers revealed how they were not permitted to observe the mail-in ballots that had arrived. According to Giuliani, a similar scenario played out in all of the swing states.
Behind these possible shenanigans, it goes without saying that Joe Biden would require the full support of the mainstream media and Big Tech to pull of the greatest election heist of the century.
Naturally, he got it, as the media not only refused to consider the possibility that the nationwide mail-in ballot scheme could result in making the United States resemble some Banana Republic, it quickly announced him president even before everything had been declared official.
Someday in the future, assuming Biden is lifted into the Oval Office, I suspect we will hear the same tired public confessionals from media hacks as they ask themselves on air and in print – much as they did in the disastrous aftermath of the Iraq war – how they could have failed to ask more questions not only about Biden’s questionable mental state, but about the use of mail-in ballots in the most consequential U.S. presidential election of all time.
