What Ever Happened to the $11 Million Given to Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger for COVID Relief?

Georgia attorney Lin Wood’s bombshell tweets of late include one about an almost $11 million grant award to the Georgia Secretary of State, Republican Brad Raffensperger. What ever happened to this money?

In a recent tweet Lin Wood zeroed in on an anomaly, or something much, much worse, relating to the Secretary of State’s Office and this almost $11 million.

Wood’s bombshell tweet refers to an April 15, 2020 letter to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) from Secretary of State Raffensperger, who is also Georgia’s Chief Election Official.
Hey, @GabrielSterling, you don’t have State of GA email??? How does your company, Sterling Innovative, make money? Did you or your company receive any of this $10+M grant? Implementation Manager??? What do you do except go on TV to deny the clear voting fraud in GA?#FightBack pic.twitter.com/01oSKXOjmB
— Lin Wood (@LLinWood) November 24, 2020
Georgia was poised to receive a $10,875,912 grant from the EAC for Covid-19-related election expenses. (The EAC, a federal entity which, by the way, certifies U.S. election machines, hardware and software, has some clear and shocking conflicts-of-interest of its own going on with its Advisory Board.) Raffensperger assured the EAC that the funds will be used to “prevent, prepare for and respond to coronavirus, domestically or internationally, for the 2020 Federal election cycle.” This is a hefty sum of money!

The contact person at the end of the letter is Gabriel Sterling, who was appointed the COO of the Secretary of State’s office by Brad Raffensperger, the brand new SoS, shortly after Raffensperger was elected to the position in November 2018.

Raffensperger’s predecessor was Brian Kemp, who had just been elected Georgia’s governor. Sterling, as COO, would be in charge of budgetary, human resources and administrative operations for the Secretary of State’s office.

Sterling, strangely, has also been referred to, in multiple, recent media accounts, as Georgia’s “Statewide Voting System Implementation Manager.”

On his Twitter account, Sterling confirms that he is the “Voting System Implementation Manager”.

Gabriel-Sterling-600x491.jpg


In the April 15 letter, Sterling lists a private gmail account address as his email account. The letter states: “If you have any questions about this request please contact our Statewide Voting System Implementation Manager, Gabriel Sterling, at sterlinginnovative@gmail.com.” Why wouldn’t Raffensperger refer the EAC to his COO, the employee in charge of budgetary issues for the SoS’s office? Why, instead, send them to Sterling as Georgia’s “Statewide Voting System Implementation Manager”? Well, it turns out Sterling ALSO his own LLC called Sterling Innovative Solutions, with the “Registered Agent” listed is Robert Gabriel Sterling. https://www.bizapedia.com/ga/sterling-innovative-solutions-llc.html.

So, is Sterling still the COO of the GA Secretary of State’s office or has he left that position? Is he the Statewide Voting System Implementation Manager for the Secretary of State’s Office as a state employee or has he been hired in that position as a consultant or independent contractor? Or is he acting BOTH as the COO of the Secretary of State’s office AND as a private consultant as Georgia’s Statewide Voting System Implementation Manager, through his LLC, Sterling Innovative Solutions LLC? Is there unethical double-dipping going on here or is it simply that the man has changed titles and positions under Raffensperger? It also raises the question, if Sterling is no longer the COO of the Secretary of State’s office, who is?

Lin Wood is right on the money: the use of a gmail account indicates that Gabriel Sterling CANNOT be a state employee, at least for purposes of this April 15 letter sealing the deal on $10.8+ million in Covid-19 money for the Secretary of State’s office. Or can he? Furthermore, Georgia already has an “Elections Director,” Chris Harvey, it says so right on the Secretary of State’s letterhead. Why wasn’t Harvey listed as the contact person in the letter to the EAC? Why does Georgia ALSO need a “Statewide Voting System Implementation Manager”? Are taxpayers paying for two state agency people to do the job of one? The public needs immediate clarification upon these issues, given that Sterling continues to assure the public and the media – on behalf of the state of Georgia and its Chief Election Officer, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and his messed up, questionable, and clearly fraudulent election AND recount – that, Everything’s fine, move along, nothing to see here people.

Where’s the audit of this pile of Covid-19 money, held in trust and spent BY Brad Raffensperger for the people of Georgia? Georgians need an immediate accounting of this almost $11 million in federal EAC funds. If the Secretary of State will not willingly provide this information, Georgian’s need to send immediate Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to both SoS Raffensperger AND the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, requesting a copy of the U.S. EAC grant award, copies of all correspondence between the Georgia SoS’s office and the EAC, all quarterly grant reports, all budgetary documents and amendments, and all disbursement records, with copies of the checks and/or electronic bank records, regarding this grant.

Let’s hope these and more questions are answered as a result of the upcoming filing from Sidney Powell expected later today in Georgia.

FBI Jumps Into Action — Ignores MASSIVE Voter Fraud and Instead Investigates Threats Against Political Hack Brad Raffensperger

By Jim Hoft
Published November 25, 2020 at 12:46pm

raffesnperger-crook-600x334.jpg


Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is running an election office which is poorly managed and up to its neck in a massive number of investigations into election and voter fraud in Georgia.

Given that it is this bad at the top, it opens the door to questions about the professionalism and integrity of State Election Board employees at the county level.


The voters of Georgia – and the rest of the country – have a lot to be very concerned about with this Secretary of State. As already reported Georgia’s two Senators, Senator Kelly Loeffler and Senator David Perdue, are calling for his resignation.

On September 10, 2020 the Georgia Secretary of State’s State Election Board (SEB) meeting was held and the agenda included numerous investigations which are before Raffensperger’s elections board. The sheer number of investigations – one hundred – involving election irregularities, fraud, and absentee ballot issues is shocking and should greatly concern Georgia’s registered voters. It is crystal clear that there are significant problems in Georgia with absentee voting and absentee ballots, given that there are no fewer than 19 investigations into these issues by the SEB. Almost 20% of these investigations relate to absentee voting. Because these 100 investigations are lacking dates in this meeting’s agenda, the public does not know when each investigation was initiated. 2019? 2020? One month ago? No idea?

The types of investigations listed by Raffensperger’s State Election Board included “Vote Buying”, “Absentee Ballot/Assisting”, “Absentee Ballot Drop Boxes”, “Absentee Ballots”, “Repeat Voting”, “Deceased Voters”, “Prohibited Political Activities”, “Voter Intimidation”, etc.

To make matters even worse, the same week as this Georgia SEB meeting occurred, the New York Post reported on September 8, 2020, “As many as 1,000 Georgians double-voted in the Peach State’s June 9 primary using absentee ballots, a felony that is punishable by up to a decade in prison, state authorities announced Tuesday … Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said 1,000 voters returned absentee ballots before turning up at the polling booth to vote on election day, according to a report by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.”

The Atlanta Constitution reported the opening of an investigation by Raffensperger: “…Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger recently opened an investigation into about 1,000 people suspected of double-voting by casting both absentee and in-person votes.” Yet, two days later, on September 10 at the Georgia SEB meeting, there was no apparent mention by Raffensperger in the agenda of any new investigation into 1,000 voters who fraudulently double-voted both absentee AND in-person.

Georgia, broke the longstanding American tradition, allegedly shutting down its vote count on Election Night along with five other battleground states. Only later did Americans learn they actually did not shut down operations but were dumping ballots for Joe Biden during the night. An alleged reason for the shutdown in Atlanta was a water main break which we are unable to find evidence for.

Raffensperger also used Trump-hating Dominion executive Eric Coomer as his witness demanding the state make last minute changes to the ballot counting systems.
On Friday Newsmax reported that the FBI is investigating threats against Brad Raffensperger.

But this same FBI is NOT investigating the massive voter fraud in this year’s election.

So is the FBI investigating threats against Trump supporters?

I keep getting a barrage of threats & false accusations from Dems and “reporter” activists.
My only comment is this: Do your worst. I’m not intimidated. I won’t back down. My mission is Truth, my God is the Lord Jesus Christ, and my client is the President of the United States.

Was the ‘Foreign Interference’ in Our Election a Head Fake? Was It Domestic Interference Only or Was It a Combination of Both?

By Joe Hoft
Published November 25, 2020 at 7:45am

democrats-imposing-covid-socialism-600x445.jpg


Was the whole “foreign interference in our election” charade a red herring ALL ALONG to divert attention from a REAL plan to attack the election FROM THE INSIDE and with FAKE VOTES in the swing states?

Senator Dianne Feinstein introduced a bill in Congress in May 2019, “Senators Introduce Bill to Strengthen Election Interference Law”, but the bill only focused on FOREIGN interference, not domestic interference.

Senator-Feinstein-Election-Interference-600x503.jpg


Was the plan already hatched to SCARE local and state election officials with potential FOREIGN interference in the election, and point them away from US-based firms, like Dominion Voting Systems, who just happened to be contributors to the Clinton Foundation and linked to Nancy Pelosi’s former chief of staff was a principal? All of the firms just HAPPENED to be working with the DHS/CISA agency in an advisory role. It seems that someone was “vouching” for these US voting technology companies to “reduce the risk of foreign intervention,” yet sending them, and the hope of “free and fair elections,” headlong into the lion’s den!

While viewing recently uncovered videos of state election boards being pitched by Dominion Voting Systems, one gets the impression that the boards were OVERWHELMED by the complexity and magnitude of the purchasing, installing, and managing such an enormous system including the 34,000 machines purchased in Georgia just months before an election. It seems like these boards just acquiesced to Dominion and let them do what they do. And in doing so, they ignored the OBVIOUS INSIDER THREAT in hiring a company such as Dominion without adequate oversight, certification, auditing, monitoring, and internal controls.

Of course, COVID and the major lockdowns in Democratic states gave them one more way to cover another aspect of their fraud, a massive mail-in voting scheme, a scheme designed to overwhelm neighborhood, city and county precincts. They then forced poll observers far away from their illegal operations due to social distancing.

The fair and orderly process devolved into intentional chaos.

But now, China’s media is happy to outwardly align with the Biden gang:
“Compared to @realDonaldTrump ‘s barbaric style of dealing with China, @JoeBiden will take a much more ‘civilized’ manner with a much more clever approach…” Chinese experts on #Biden‘s latest picks https://t.co/6EtJ6gMig1

The real victim was the US and American voters. There was no “free and fair” election. So were the culprits foreign, domestic or both?

Pennsylvania Judge Delays Election Certification Pending Republican Legal Challenge

A Commonwealth Court Judge ruled Wednesday that Pennsylvania election results should not be certified until a Republican lawsuit challenging the voting process is resolved.

The order, signed by Commonwealth Judge Patricia McCullough, bars all respondents from certifying the results of the election pending a hearing on Friday, November 27 at 11:30 a.m.

President Donald Trump’s campaign lawyer, Jenna Ellis, touted the development on Twitter.
BREAKING: Pennsylvania Court grants hearing in election integrity case challenging the constitutionality of Act 77 (mail-in ballots). pic.twitter.com/eHqtjnf4by
— Jenna Ellis (@JennaEllisEsq) November 25, 2020
The lawsuit, brought to the court by Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA), Republican Congressional candidate Sean Parnell, and others, challenges the constitutionality of Act 77. The act, which the state legislature passed and Gov. Tom Wolf (D) signed in October 2019, expanded mail-in and absentee voting in the commonwealth.

The lawsuit argues that any changes made to absentee voting should require an amendment to the commonwealth’s Constitution. If a court ruled in favor of the Pennsylvania Republican lawsuit it would invalidate all votes cast by mail in the 2020 election.

“This court must intervene immediately in order to prevent further, irreparable injury from the resulting wrongs of an election conducted pursuit to an unconstitutional and invalid mail-in voting scheme,” the plaintiffs wrote.
Attorneys for Wolf and Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar requested the court dismiss the lawsuit.

“While draped in the driest of historical arguments, petitioners’ claim is audacious; to grant it would undercut the very foundations of Pennsylvania’s democracy and snatch the most basic of rights from its people,” the attorneys wrote in their response to the lawsuit.

“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 (pdf).

McCullough is presiding over a lawsuit brought by Republican lawmakers and candidates against the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Gov. Tom Wolf (D), Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar, and the Pennsylvania General Assembly.
The plaintiffs alleged that Pennsylvania’s vote-by-mail stature—Act 77—is in violation of the state’s constitution.

“Act 77 is the most expansive and fundamental change to the Pennsylvania voting code, implemented illegally, to date,” the lawsuit, filed in the Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania, states.

“As with prior historical attempts to illegally expand mail-in voting by statute, which have been struck down going as far back as the Military Absentee Ballot Act of 1839, Act 77 is another illegal attempt to override the limitations on absentee voting prescribed in the Pennsylvania Constitution, without first following the necessary procedure to amend the constitution to allow for the expansion.”

“Republican Congressman Mike Kelly has filed a new frivolous lawsuit in Pennsylvania seeking to block the state from certifying the election results and having the state legislature choose electors,” Elias wrote on Twitter on Nov. 21. “This is absolutely shameful.”

Gingrich: The Thieves Who Stole Our Election Got Sloppy

Tue, 11/24/2020 - 20:05
Authored by Newt Gingrich, op-ed via The Epoch Times,

Laziness leads to sloppiness, and sloppiness is how the most brazen heist in American history is being exposed...



Stealing the 2020 election was a mammoth undertaking, involving widespread lawlessness and illicit partnerships between private actors and public officials. They’ve been working to cover their tracks since Election Day, but they didn’t work fast enough. Now, the courts need to stop them from destroying any more evidence so that the people of Pennsylvania—and the rest of the country—can accurately assess the ramifications of their wrongdoing.
Explosive new litigation filed in federal district court on Nov. 21 details and documents a wide variety of illegal practices that were used to inflate the number of votes received by Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden, including disparate treatment of voters based on where they live and outright manipulation of Pennsylvania’s voter registration system by partisan activists.

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.

Specifically, election workers illegally “pre-canvassed” mail-in ballots to determine whether they were missing a secrecy envelope or failed to include necessary information. When ballots were found to be flawed, voters were given an opportunity to correct, or “cure,” their ballots to make sure they counted. In at least some cases, Democrat Party officials were even given lists of voters to contact about curing their ballots.

Election officials in Republican-leaning counties rightly interpreted this as a violation of Pennsylvania’s election code, but Democrat Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar issued guidance authorizing the illegal practices despite lacking the statutory authority to do so.

That’s not the only way Democrats broke the law to give their candidate an unfair advantage, though. Extensive on-the-ground investigations conducted over the past year and a half by attorneys and investigators with the Amistad Project of the nonpartisan Thomas More Society have uncovered another element of the plot that involved even more egregious behavior.

Boockvar also exceeded her authority by granting private, partisan organizations—including the notoriously pro-Democrat group “Rock the Vote”—access to the Commonwealth’s Statewide Uniform Registry of Electors (SURE).
“Rock the Vote’s web tool was connected to our system, making the process of registering voters through their online programs, and those of their partners, seamless for voters across Pennsylvania,” the lawsuit quotes Boockvar as saying.
That’s not supposed to happen. It’s one thing for outside groups to submit registration applications to the state on behalf of would-be voters, but election clerks are the only ones who are supposed to enter this sort of information directly into the records.

It’s easy to see why by inspecting post-election voter lists, which contain names such as “Mary April Smith,” followed by “Mary May Smith,” “Mary June Smith,” “Mary July Smith,” and so forth through the rest of the calendar. When the same voter lists were purchased just a week later, however, those suspicious names had mysteriously disappeared from the rolls.

Under the circumstances, that’s direct evidence of a systematic effort to conceal wrongdoing. All further alterations to the SURE system should be immediately halted to allow a thorough investigation of the records before any more evidence can be destroyed.

The thieves who attempted to hijack the 2020 presidential election were bound to slip up somewhere, and now they’re trying to clean up the glaring evidence of their wrongdoing before the full extent of their crimes can be exposed to the American public. We can’t allow that to happen, or we may never be able to trust the integrity of our elections again.

The problem with the PA judge ruling, as I understand it, is that it does not affect those PA counties that already certified their vote - and if I understand that right, that means that the state as a whole is still certified for Biden. It's not clear if the ruling allows for the legislature to overturn any part of the certification. :confused:

Pennsylvania hearing, Trump team urges legislature to halt election certification

Witnesses allege GOP poll watchers were barred from inspecting ballots.

.47 min video clip on website

By Daniel Payne
Updated: November 25, 2020 - 5:29pm

President Trump's legal team on Wednesday urged the Pennsylvania legislature to hold off on certifying the state's 2020 election results amid allegations of voting irregularities and potential fraud there.

Speaking after multiple witnesses attested to alleged irregularities in the presidential election process in the state, Trump campaign lawyer Jenna Ellis told the State Senate Majority Policy Committee: "Part of what [the legal team] did ask initially was to stop certification so that we could get to the bottom of this process."

"Clearly you've heard sufficient evidence today that would lead any reasonable finder of fact to say that there's been sufficient evidence that...you should not move forward with certification," Ellis said, arguing that the legislature possesses the power under the U.S. Constitution to make that call.

Multiple witnesses as well as Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani earlier in the hearing alleged major voting irregularities in the state, claiming that Republican vote watchers were denied access to oversee the vote-counting process during the state's presidential election.

Citing the testimony of witnesses set to appear before the committee, Giuliani alleged: "In the case of Philadelphia, and in the case of Allegheny County, and one or two other counties, the mail-in ballots that were received were not inspected at all by any Republican. They were hidden from Republicans."

"There's only one time you get to [inspect a ballot]," Giuliani said, "and that's when you separate the envelope that possesses the verifying information from the ballot. The moment you separate them, you can no longer verify."

Multiple Pennsylvania Republicans also testified before the committee claiming to have witnessed similar irregularities during the Pennsylvania vote.

The hearing was convened by state Republicans to examine allegations of voter irregularities there. Republican state Sen. Doug Mastriano said the meeting was called after sustained complaints from residents "regarding issues experienced at the polls, irregularities with the mail-in voting system and concerns whether their vote was counted.

Legal group files lawsuit challenging more than 200,000 ballots in Georgia

Filing argues that "well over 100,000 illegal votes were improperly counted."

By Daniel Payne
  • Updated: November 25, 2020 - 5:31pm
A conservative legal group filed a lawsuit Wednesday 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.

The group alleged that "systematic failures by state and local election officials" were facilitated by "private monies donated by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg through a leftist organization called the Center for Tech and Civic Life." That group has been the subject of scrutiny for its receipt of hundreds of millions of dollars from Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan ostensibly to be spent on local election infrastructure throughout the country.

“Beginning in 2021, states will begin redrawing electoral boundaries for U.S. House districts and state legislative districts, using the results of the 2020 census to determine the partisan composition of Congress and statehouses through 2030.
“Despite national Democratic success, the results of state legislative elections put Republicans in place to be the long-term winners of the election of 2020.”
The 2020 Census dictates how congressional and state legislative districts will be re-drawn. Because of the shift and exodus of people out of California, this state is looking to lose at least one congressional seat, and potentially two. Whoever is drawing the maps has the potential to maximize the number of districts that favor their party.

The party that now controls most of the nation’s state houses? Republicans. This fact can change the electoral map for decades to come.

According to the 538 blog, Republicans are set to control the redistricting of 188 congressional seats — or 43 percent of the entire House of Representatives. At the most, Democrats will control the redistricting of 73 seats, and since races are still being called, it could be less.

This is a rare occasion where the winner at the top of the ticket had little to no affect in the state houses. Republicans won almost every 2020 election in which control of redistricting was at stake, which is strange. This gives credence to the cries of election fraud, even though legal validity is still needed to prove this.

My colleague, Nick Arama explains,
“There have been a lot of questions raised about fraud and irregularities in this election.
“One of the reasons that people question is the other numbers and results in the election.
“One of the things that isn’t getting a lot of coverage in mainstream media is just how well the Republicans did, contrary to predictions. While even Fox, incorrectly, projected a Democratic gain in the House on Election Night, in fact, as we reported, the Republicans picked up at least 12 seats and will likely have more before the final count is in. Of the four remaining House races to be determined (how are they not determined yet?!), Republicans are leading in all four and likely to get 15, which would give the Democrats a bare majority by just a handful of votes.
“As Cook Political Report explained, there were 27 races in the House considered “toss-ups.” Not only did Republicans win every single one of those toss-ups but they also picked up seven of the 36 seats that Cook had predicted as “likely Democrat” or “lean Democrat.”
“In the Senate, of the seven toss-ups, Republicans won five, the other two are the Georgia races still to be determined in January. They also won all four races that were “lean Republican.” Which means they only need one of the races in January to hold their majority.
Even in the statehouse races, Republicans won “almost every election where redistricting was at stake” and didn’t turn any statehouse while Republicans did flip the Senate and the House in New Hampshire.”
Here are the State houses where the GOP changed the game:
  • Texas: Election Data Services estimates Texas will have 39 congressional seats for the next decade. This is huge.
  • Pennsylvania: And the way Pennsylvania is at the center of this national fight, this is a major coup. They’ll still have to share redistricting power over its projected 17 congressional districts, because the Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf will still have veto power.
  • North Carolina: Republicans held the majority, which will enable them to draw an expected 14 congressional districts all by themselves.
  • Virginia: Amendment 1 passed, which takes the power to draw the state’s 11 congressional districts out of the hands of the Democrat state government and puts it in the hands of a bipartisan commission made up of a mix of citizens and legislators.
  • Missouri: This mostly Red state has eight congressional districts. Republican Gov. Mike Parson was elected to a second term, keeping redistricting control with the GOP.
  • Minnesota: Republicans kept the majority in the state Senate, so the seven congressional districts will be a bipartisan endeavor.
  • Iowa: Republicans kept the State house with its four congressional districts.
  • Kansas: Republicans are the legislative supermajority here, which means they get to re-draw the four congressional districts without fear of veto.
  • New Hampshire: Republicans upset the apple cart, flipping both the state House and state Senate, giving them full control of both the state government and the redistricting process.
Republicans already had State house control in Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska, Oklahoma, West Virginia, South Carolina, Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas, Alabama, Florida, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, and Alaska.
Michigan and Wisconsin have majority in one house and Democrat governors; but this essentially neutralizes the power in either party.

Here is where conservatives need to make their voices heard locally: for those states with re-districting commissions, ensure that conservative, pro-freedom, and pro-business voices are appointed to these commissions; where the Houses of Congress decide the lines, hold your Republican and conservative representatives to the fire to ensure fair and accurate representation. Most urgently, recruit, champion, and support conservative candidates to run for any new seats created, and to hold the line on freedom and opportunity for all Americans.

For the most part, it’s been something of a disaster for the Trump legal team, but I will say they are scrappy and are not giving up. Yet, time is a resource that is in very short supply. Rush Limbaugh and Fox News’ Tucker Carlson have called out the Trump legal effort for hosting press conferences promising bombshell evidence that has yet to be revealed. We’re still waiting, but the Trump team did score a big legal win in Nevada, where a judge granted a motion allowing the campaign to present its evidence regarding voter fraud. Paul Bedard of the Washington Examiner says it could set the precedent for other state challenges:
In its first court victory, 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.
[…]
Oddly, there has been a virtual news blackout of the Trump court victory. However, there were major headlines on the state Supreme Court’s certification of Biden’s victory Tuesday.
In its court filing from Nov. 17, the Trump team made several allegations of voter fraud, including votes by nonresidents and the dead.
[…]
But its biggest claim was that the signatures on hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots were not verified by human officials, as required by law.
What’s more, they found that officials used a machine to verify signatures, apparently against the rules, and even those machines were plagued with problems.
BIG news in Nevada: a Judge has allowed NV Republicans to present findings of widespread voter fraud in a Dec. 3rd hearing. Americans will now hear evidence from those who saw firsthand what happened—a critical step for transparency and remedying illegal ballots. Stay tuned.
— Mark Meadows (@MarkMeadows) November 25, 2020
This is welcome news after days of generally odd behavior on those leading the legal front regarding this election cycle. Let’s see if the evidence presented is strong enough to convince a judge invalidating shoddy ballots, which is a high bar.

Statistical Analyst Reveals Scenario of How Dems May Have Pulled Off Massive Fraud in Montgomery County, PA (Part Two)

November 23, 2020 (1d ago)

2020.11.23-03.14-revolvernews-5fbbd1efb9dd2.jpeg

by Simon Fish
Montgomery County’s anomalous election result is suggestive of fraud, but also just puzzling, no matter how it is viewed.


CLICK HERE FOR PART ONE: Data From Rigorous Statistical Analysis Points to Voter Fraud in Montgomery County, PA

To simplify the reader’s understanding, we describe one possible version of the fraud that would explain the many otherwise very strange facts presented elsewhere. Lest we be misinterpreted here, we are not asserting that these events happened literally as described in the narrative below. However, when one sees a large number of unusual facts, it is important to think about the set of scenarios that might explain all of them.

Thinking about a particular narrative is especially useful to clarify what kinds of evidence one might expect to see if fraud were to have occurred – it tells you where to look next for other weird things that might point in the same direction.

We are trying to reconstruct a sequence of events using only publicly available vote count information, so the reader should bear in mind that there is uncertainty about the exact actions taken internally around the suspicious vote updates. But some variant of the story below seems quite plausible. Indeed, the facts in the previous document corroborate almost every aspect of the story below. To simplify the comparison, we’ve included references to each numbered fact throughout the narrative for reference. But since the main analysis is highly statistical, and mostly good at showing what didn’t happen in terms of innocent reasons, it is helpful to describe what the fraud might have looked like, if it were to have occurred.

A possible narrative of fraud.
Please refer to Part One for a discussion of the Ten Facts.

Suppose, hypothetically, someone was planning to commit electoral fraud in Montgomery County, PA, in favor of the Democrats.

By 5:43am Wednesday morning after election night, Trump is ahead by 618,840 votes, with counting still proceeding. So far, Montgomery County, PA had reported 148,100 mail votes (running 24.4% Trump, and 74.9% Biden) and 388,018 votes total (running 40.8% Trump, 58.2% Biden) (Raw data, Fact 6). Montgomery County has the third highest expected number of votes of all counties in Pennsylvania (Raw data), so they’re one of the few places in a position to be large enough to possibly affect the outcome via fraud. Pennsylvania was always going to be close, and so the fraud perpetrators wanted to keep as many uncounted ballots as possible in reserve, so that if needed they could produce fraudulent ballots and run up the statewide total for Biden. But crucially, the perpetrator didn’t know in advance exactly just how many ballots would be needed to win the election. So they kept a fair amount back, holding 23% of precincts still in reserve. (Raw data) The amount of mail ballots they had counted by Wednesday morning relative to Edison forecasts is relatively low in the data.

On Tuesday night, the county had held a press conference pre-announcing an approximate number of absentee ballots they’d already collected, but somehow not counted. Some people wondered if it might look weird for a county to hold a press conference on election night rather than just count the votes, but ostentatious displays of transparency make great cover, even if just by unrelated groups taking advantage of them.

Over the course of Wednesday, counting goes on. But for some reason, and this possibility is somewhat open to interpretation, somebody screws up and enters each new update into the “in-person category.” It’s hard to know quite why this happens, but you can imagine different variations at this point. In one, it’s just a pure screw-up – someone doesn’t know how the scheme works, and enters the wrong vote type in a database, then has to correct it later. In a different variant, it could be pre-planned – a great cover story if you need to make extra changes on Wednesday night is “these obvious mail ballots, which were pre-announced, have to be changed to the correct category.” In any case, there isn’t a single update made to mail-in ballots over the day on Wednesday (Raw data).

Wednesday night arrives, and organizers of the fraud realize they now have not one, not two, but three problems with their fraud scheme.

Firstly, statewide, Trump is still up by 164,414 ballots. They need to get more votes from somewhere, or he’s likely to win Pennsylvania and maybe the White House. Commit fraud for the winning side, and they’ve got a good chance of getting by. Commit fraud for the losing side, and they risk winding up in jail. As one of the three biggest counties in Pennsylvania, they’ve got to play a big part.

Second, one way or another, they’re going to have to correct the ballots that were classified as “in-person.” The county had pre-announced details of how many mail ballots were still to be counted, so it would look very strange if this number were to radically change. In general, in-person ballots have a clearer paper trail than mail ballots. So if they’re going to have a chance of not getting caught, they need to do it with mail ballots. In-person ballots are delivered by voters to the actual polling booths around the county, but mail ballots throughout the county have all been sent to a single postal address (Fact 4). This gives them not only one place to control everything, but one single place where they can hide the evidence by mixing up genuine and fraudulent ballots afterwards. Furthermore, the decision to only add totals to in-person votes has left them with a series of updates that look very strange. (Fact 7, Fact 8).

Third, in their effort to produce a smooth glide to the finish, they’ve already spent most of the precincts. They’re now up to 492,027 total votes that have already been announced, or 97.6% of the Edison estimated total (Raw data). They can’t push the total number of votes too high, or it’s going to raise too many eyebrows – high turnout smells like election fraud. They can use mail ballots for the rest, but with just 12,210 estimated votes left before hitting the Edison expected turnout, they run the risk of not having enough.

So between Wednesday night and Thursday morning, they decide to do several things at once.

Firstly, they bring in a large number of fraudulent mail ballots from a distribution that’s cranked as far as they feel they can push the limit towards Biden – 95.4% Biden. (Fact 2) In addition, because they also want to make sure that Trump is as low as possible, in this batch they also decide to increase the share of votes for the Libertarian candidate (Fact 3) (because, let’s face it, they can’t report a batch with 99.9% Biden without it looking like an election for Saddam Hussein). Adding votes for Jorgensen isn’t quite as good as adding votes for Biden, but it serves one crucial purpose – it lets the Biden percentage come down to slightly more reasonable levels without adding extra votes for Trump, which is the absolute last thing they want (because they’re desperately trying to crank up the statewide margin, and every Trump vote undoes that effect).

They know this distribution looks very suspicious. They know that doing this runs the risk of looking very strange relative to the normal way mail ballot counts work (Fact 7). Their best hope is to somehow combine these new ballots with the other mail votes, so that when everything is mixed up, it’s impossible to see which vote came from where.

But since they’re also constrained on total votes, and they’ve already announced the in-person votes, they have to go back and actually re-classify some of the existing in-person votes as being mail votes (Fact 1). Because they’ve added both too many in-person votes total and too many in-person votes for Biden specifically, they decide to delete from the “in-person” a very large pile of Biden votes (since a fair number of these were fraudulent already, and now these can be better disguised with the mail ballots), and a smaller batch of other candidates (so it doesn’t look like only one candidate is changing) (Fact 5). They figure, incorrectly, that this gives them a good defense, that there was a combination of legitimate new mail ballots, plus some group of incorrectly classified in-person ballots. In all likelihood, nobody is going to notice, and if someone asks questions, they can just blame it on a faulty machine or something. Lots of stuff is changing at once, and it’s going to be hard to disprove the officials’ version of events. How could anyone irrefutably prove fraud?

They report all this at 9:09am Thursday November 5th. Nothing happens, and after November 10th, some new mail ballots continue to trickle in through ordinary means. They end up just counting those as normal – better to just have one fudge than lots of them (Fact 9, Fact 10).

ANALYSIS: Transparent Mail-In Voting Audit Could Easily Flip 2020 Election for Trump
If audits rejected mail-in votes at the same rate as in 2018, it would entirely eliminate Biden's margin of victory
A.J. Cooke

ANALYSIS: Transparent Mail-In Voting Audit Could Easily Flip 2020 Election for Trump

Exclusive analysis by National File demonstrates that independently-monitored audits of 2020 mail-in and absentee ballots could easily flip the 2020 election to President Donald J. Trump.

If honest audits rejected absentee and mail-in votes at the same rates as 2018, they would entirely eliminate Biden’s margin of victory in Pennsylvania, Georgia and Wisconsin.

Election officials in every disputed state have so far failed to perform independently-monitored audits of their mail-in and absentee ballots in accordance with the U.S. Election Assistance Commission’s bipartisan guidelines.
Transparent audits would provide answers to the high-profile anomalies around votes being cast in the names of deceased voters and out-of-state voters.

For instance, they could shed light on the 40,000 votes cast for presumably-dead voters in Pennsylvania and the thousand-plus voters registered at apparently-fake addresses in Georgia.
Update:
– 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.


— Matt Braynard (@MattBraynard) November 22, 2020

The following graph compares the vote total of Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden’s reported margin of victory to the estimated number of votes an honest audit would put into doubt.

Est-Rejectable-Votes-vs-Margin-of-Victory.jpg


Our analysis drew primarily from the latest election data assembled by the University of Florida’s Professor Michael McDonald for the U.S. Elections Project and from the federal Election Assistance Commission’s 2018 Comprehensive Report. For Nevada, we pulled directly from their official election website.

We used estimates in press accounts for Wisconsin, where official absentee ballot rejection rates are not available. As of time of publication, there are no public estimates of Arizona’s rejection rate.

2018 Rejection RateEst. 2020 Rejection RateBiden Margin of Victory (Votes)Estimated Rejectable Votes
Pennsylvania4.4%0.27% 80,000 115,684
Georgia3.1%0.20% 12,670 41,008
Wisconsin1.7%0.076% 20,608 21,675
Arizona0.5%??? 10,457 12,358
Nevada2%0.63% 33,596 13,087
Michigan0.6%0.06% 154,188 17,061

The reason why transparent audits could put the election into doubt is that rejection rates for mail-in and absentee votes absolutely cratered between 2018 and 2020.

Georgia alone went from rejecting 6.4% in 2016, to rejecting 3.1% in 2018 to rejecting just 0.2% in 2020. Brad Raffensperger, Georgia’s Secretary of State, is being sued for entering into an allegedly illegal deal with Democrats governing the handling of the absentee ballots.

According to the data currently available, every swing state still disputed has a rejection rate lower than 1% (Arizona’s rejection rate is currently unknown).

Mail-in-Rejection-Rates.jpg


Historically, absentee ballots have routinely been rejected at a rate between 1% and 20%. The nationwide average was 1.4% in 2018.

Election fraud experts are unanimous that absentee ballots are the #1 vehicle for voter fraud, a fact that even the New York Times has admitted.

In the 2020 election so far, simple recounts and check-ups by concerned officials have added thousands of votes to Trump’s total, flipping entire counties as well as down-ballot races from Democrat to Republican.

If audits were to find irregularity and fraud exceeding Biden’s vote total in a given state, it would bolster the Trump campaign’s ability to challenge official certification of that state’s vote.

Top constitutional lawyers such as Robert Barnes, Jonathan Turley and Alan Dershowitz have concluded that decertifying disputed swing states is Trump’s only viable path to victory.

That’s because there is simply not enough time to find proof of fraud, connect said fraud to specific Biden votes and prove it in a court of law before December 14th: the final deadline for selecting members of the Electoral College.

In the event of a disputed presidential election where the Electoral College cannot reach a majority, the Constitution mandates that the result be decided by the House of Representatives in a contingent election. Each state would receive one vote each, with the winners of state votes being decided by a simple majority of their U.S. House Representatives.

President Trump is projected to win a contingent election should one take place.

BREAKING: Top Lawyer Releases Archive of 2020 Fraud Evidence (UPDATED)

Legal crusader Robert Barnes publicized HereIsTheEvidence.com, an archive for admissible evidence of 2020 election irregularities
A.J. Cooke
by A.J. COOKE

November 17, 2020

BREAKING: Top Lawyer Releases Archive of 2020 Fraud Evidence (UPDATED)

Famed constitutional, civil rights and tax attorney Robert Barnes tweeted out a link this morning to HereIsTheEvidence.com. It advertises itself as an archive for people to submit and review evidence of “irregularities” in the disputed 2020 election.
A one-stop shop location for people to submit, and review, evidence of allegations of irregularities in #Elections2020: Here Is The Evidence
— Robert Barnes (@Barnes_Law) November 16, 2020
As of time of writing, HereIstheEvidence.com documents 69 separate incidents of election irregularities ranked by “Significance” and “Admissibility Level”.

The stated purpose is to crowd-source evidence to be used in court, presumably by challengers to the 2020 election process.

From the website’s introduction:

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.
This is for aggregating items of evidence that would be admissible in court, not general election news stories or updates.
The Trump Campaign is currently filing lawsuits in various states after videos of poll watchers turned away, witness accounts of ballot-stuffing and serious statistical anomalies emerged casting doubt on Vice President Joe Biden’s rapid swing-state comeback in the days after the November 3rd election.

Democrats are calling on President Trump to concede the race and drop investigations into alleged voter fraud or election irregularities.

However, as National file previously reported, that is a reversal from their position in a North Carolina election fraud case in 2018.

It is unclear who owns HereIsTheEvidence.com – the website says “Copyright © 2020 Here Is The Evidence” – but online records show that it was registered on November 10th, 2020 by an anonymous buyer. The first submission to the site was time-stamped November 11th.

When asked about his current work, Barnes seemed to cite attorney-client privilege in his weekly Sunday livestream with YouTube legal commentator Viva Frei, but admitted he’s working in Georgia and suggested, “Well… just follow the news!”

2:19:42 min

Barnes, whose motto is “I fight for the underdog and win the impossible“, is best known for litigating high-profile tax and civil rights cases. In 2008, he helped actor Wesley Snipes defeat felony tax charges over $23.5 million in alleged tax liabilities.

Barnes is currently representing 8 anonymous Covington Catholic students suing the “most egregious high-profile individuals” who smeared them in 2019.

Avoiding secret monetary settlements, his strategy is to achieve binding legal precedents that would cripple the ability of media and political figures to defame non-public figures (especially children) in the future.

Barnes also made headlines in 2016 by winning $500,000 in a bet that President Donald J. Trump would win the presidency.

In 2020, Barnes has consistently predicted that Trump would win the 2020 election – “barring massive fraud” – in his weekly appearances on Richard “The People’s Pundit” Baris’ podcast.

Baris was recently recognized by the New York Post as one of the most accurate pollsters of 2016 and 2020. Baris also confirmed that just under 10,000 absentee ballots for dead voters were received in Michigan in a “small” test he conducted.
If this election produced the kind of statistical anomalies and anecdotal evidence of illicit ballots in any other country, they would call the election in doubt. Shouldn't the same standards apply to our elections that we apply to foreign elections?
— Robert Barnes (@Barnes_Law) November 9, 2020
Since the November 3rd election, Barnes has brutally criticized the mainstream press for failing to report on evidence of widespread election irregularities and possible fraud.

On Sunday’s podcast, while remaining cagey about his current clientele, he was careful to note that he’s only capable of giving information that is “publicly-available” about fraud in the 2020 election.

National File reached out to both Barnes and Frei for additional context about Here Is the Evidence and whether they are involved with the project, but did not receive an immediate response.

UPDATE 11/17/2020 9:56AM ET: National File has learned that the archive was started by a group of volunteers who are completely unaffiliated with any campaign or political organization. Barnes tweeted out the link as a gesture of support after they asked him for advice. They are excited and proud that the project has garnered so much attention, but would prefer to remain anonymous for the safety of their families.

RNC CHAIR: ‘This Is Far From Over’ With Fraud Examples In Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia

"There is a lot still going on," said McDaniel, adding that President Trump "is not done fighting by any means."

RNC CHAIR: ‘This Is Far From Over’ With Fraud Examples In Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia

Republican National Committee Chair Ronna McDaniel publicly supported the Trump campaign’s claims of provable widespread voter fraud during an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity.

“We still have a recount going on in Wisconsin with major issues in how their election laws were applied, with over 200,000,” sand McDaniel, “With over 200,000 people saying they were indefinitely confined, that is four times more than happened in 2016. It just doesn’t seem correct.” McDaniel claimed this helps Democrats “evade voter ID laws.”
"He is not done fighting by any means."
pic.twitter.com/AeUkS6ugoC
— Elizabeth Harrington (@LizRNC) November 24, 2020
She then noted similar inconsistencies in Georgia, where absentee ballots were rejected for non-matching and potentially fraudulent signatures in much higher numbers in 2016.

“We have a recount in Georgia happening,” McDaniel said. “The governor finally said we should look at the signatures.”

A second recount is currently underway in Georgia, with Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger so far refusing the governor’s request to verify signatures. Governor Brian Kemp previously identified several irregularities with the Georgia election, and endorsed signature verification. National File reported:
At this point, Kemp addressed signature verification, and said that “It’s important to note that this audit only looked at ballots, not the signatures on the absentee applications, or the signatures on the ballot envelopes,” and that Georgians “are extremely concerned about this.” Kemp then urged Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to take immediate action to address these concerns.
“It seems simple enough to conduct a sample audit of signatures from the absentee ballot envelopes, and compare those to the signatures on applications and on file at the Secretary of State’s office.”
Video on website 4:12 min

McDaniel also noted that there are ongoing legal battles in both Pennsylvania and Michigan, where the campaign also alleges widespread fraud. In Pennsylvania, the campaign recently had their appeal granted by the Third Circuit in a move the campaign says will expedite its ultimate legal strategy of rapidly reaching the Supreme Court.

Biden’s National Security Adviser Wants To ‘Encourage China’s Rise’
JAKE SULLIVAN, JOE BIDEN’S PICK FOR NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER, HAS REPEATEDLY PRAISED CHINA’S RISE – AN IDEOLOGICAL POSITION THAT HAS NECESSARILY RELATED TO AMERICAN DECLINE.

Sullivan, formerly a Senior Adviser to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign and an alum of the Obama administration.

While speaking with CBS News Senior National Security Contributor Michael Morell on the Intelligence Matters podcast he insisted that the U.S facilitating China’s rise is a “success”:

In full, the remarks from September 11th, 2018 read:

“We helped create the conditions of stability and security in East Asia that allowed China to have this remarkable economic rise. So that it’s rising, in a way, is not the failure of American foreign policy; it’s the success of creating those stable conditions.”

Sullivan peddled a similar sentiment while speaking at the Lowy Institute in 2017.

View: https://youtu.be/OsXDrT30sf8
1:11:15 min

When his fellow panelist Owen Harries insisted that “containment” of China was a self-defeating policy, Sullivan emphasized he was “right” to warn against the policy.

“Let me be clear, that’s not about containing China it’s about reinforcing the very foundation of regional stability that has among other things facilitated China’s remarkable rise over the past several decades,” he added.

He continued, noting U.S. policy towards China ought to “encourage China’s rise”:

“We need to strike a middle course – one that encourages China’s rise in a manner consistent with an open, fair, rules-based, regional order. This will require care and prudence and strategic foresight, and maybe even more basically it will require sustained attention. It may not have escaped your notice that these are not in ample supply in Washington right now.”

Later in the lecture, Sullivan noted the U.S. and China relationship needs to be broader than bilateral ties, noting “it needs to be about our ties to the region that create an environment more conducive to a peaceful and positive-sum Chinese rise.”

Sullivan’s comments are not far off from his potential boss, as Biden said in 2011:
“I’ve held the view for so many years and continue to hold the view that a rising China is a positive development.”

And in 2019, he insisted China is “not bad” and “not competition” for the U.S., even adding the U.S. “should be helping China” in 2020.

Dominion Techie Worked For CCP Military Proxy Flagged By U.S. Govt For ‘Malicious Cyber Activity’
ANDY HUANG, WHO SERVES AS CORE INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGER OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AT DOMINION VOTING SYSTEMS, PREVIOUSLY WORKED AT CHINA TELECOM, THE NATIONAL PULSE CAN REVEAL.

China Telecom is wholly run by the Chinese government, and has been identified by the U.S. Department of Defense as having collaborated with the country’s military for over two decades.

Similarly, the Department of Justice flagged the firm for “concerns that China Telecom is vulnerable to exploitation, influence, and control by the Chinese government” and how “the nature of China Telecom’s U.S. operations” provide “opportunities for Chinese state-actors to engage in malicious cyber activity enabling economic espionage and disruption and misrouting of U.S. communications.”

Huang, who fulfills the critical technology role at Dominion, worked at the Chinese firm from 1998 to 2002.

Screen-Shot-2020-11-21-at-10.56.02-AM-800x827.png


HUANG’S LINKEDIN.

Tasks which Huang assisted with include the “Xiamen IDC Project,” the “Xiamen Metropolitan-are broadband network,” and the “OA Intranet infrastructure reformation project.”

HUANG’S LINKEDIN INTERESTS.
This unearthed connection adds to the growing list of shady connections Dominion Voting System retains with entities opposed to President Trump, as U.S. intelligence officials have confirmed that Beijing prefers a Biden presidency.

Chinese state media officials have confirmed these sentiments.

Similarly, Dominion shows upwards of 95 percent of donations from its U.S. employees as donors to Democrats. The firm also has a team of lobbyist featuring Nancy Pelosi’s former chief of staff and an Obama-era vote protection director.

Establishment media outlets, however, maintain that these ties are “baseless conspiracies.”

Nevada Judge Will Let Trump Campaign Present Evidence of Election Fraud
NOV 25, 2020 | 5:09PM CARSON CITY, NEVADA

In a legal victory for the Trump campaign, a Nevada judge has agreed to let President Donald Trump’s campaign present its evidence of fraud and illegalities in the state, which Trump officials say is enough to reverse Joe Biden’s “win” and set an example for other state challenges.

As the Washington Examiner reports:

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.

“BIG news in Nevada: a Judge has allowed NV Republicans to present findings of widespread voter fraud in a Dec. 3rd hearing. Americans will now hear evidence from those who saw firsthand what happened—a critical step for transparency and remedying illegal ballots. Stay tuned,” White House chief of staff Mark Meadows tweeted.

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.”

The Trump campaign laid out a list of problems in a court filing on November 17th and it said the biggest issue was that the signatures on hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots were not verified by human officials, as required by law. The campaign also said officials used a machine to verify signatures against the rules and indicated the machines also had problems.

Nevada’s electoral college candidates pledged to President Donald Trump previously filed an election contest under Nevada’s election code, citing substantial irregularities, improprieties, and fraud that occurred in Nevada’s 2020 presidential election.

The suit details the unreliability of the Agilis ballot processing and signature scanning machine used in Clark County, and the electronic voting machines used throughout the state. It also argues that the denial of observer access to the duplication process, and the impropriety of some Native American outreach programs that resulted in apparent vote-buying, cast substantial doubt on the results of the election.

They say that 40,000 votes, if not more were impacted by these various defects. This margin is greater than the margin between President Trump and Joe Biden in Nevada.

“We believe the discrepancies discovered in the days following Nevada’s election and invited by the Democrat’s last-minute changes to the law monumentally influenced this presidential election to benefit Joe Biden, and as a result, these irregularities have deprived Nevadans of their right to a free and fair election,” said Jenna Ellis, Trump Campaign Senior Legal Advisor.

She added: “These malicious actions, which have impacted more than 40,000 ballots, cannot be overlooked, and President Trump will continue battling for justice and seeking to restore Americans’ faith in our electoral process.”

The contest was filed in the First Judicial District Court in Carson City, Nevada, on behalf of six Nevada citizens and voters who were candidates for presidential electors in Nevada.

The contest filings are available here.

Earlier today, a Pennsylvania judge blocked the state from certifying the results of the presidential election until a hearing can be held on Friday.

Not Just Vote Fraud: The Unseen Factor That Shifted MILLIONS of Votes to Biden

by Selwyn Duke November 24, 2020

With people understandably focused on this election’s rampant vote fraud, many are overlooking factors that some say were even more significant, ones that could have shifted 15 million or more votes to Joe Biden: extreme media bias and Big Tech manipulation.

In fact, one expert said that the former gives Democrats an eight to 10 point advantage every election, while another researcher found that Big Tech alone shifted at least six million votes to Joe Biden.

Fox News commentator Tucker Carlson reported on this last night in a segment titled “A System Can’t Function if No One Trusts the Vote.” He opened discussing vote fraud, which he said “is a real and serious issue, no matter who raises it or who tries to dismiss it out of hand as a conspiracy theory.”

Note here that liberals agree. Democrats such as Jimmy Carter, ex-Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich, former Hardball host Chris Matthews, NYC election commissioner Alan Schulkin, figures at CNN, and others all have warned about vote fraud or the vulnerability of our voting systems.

Carlson went on to say that electronic “voting is not as secure as traditional hand counting” and never will be, and Americans have lost confidence in the system because they know this. Moreover, the “people now telling us to stop asking questions about voting machines are the same ones who claimed that our phones weren’t listening to us,” the host mentioned. “They lie. We all know that.”

Pointing out that other countries don’t use electronic balloting precisely because it undermines faith in the system, he stated that we must now discover precisely what happened this presidential election no matter the cost or time it takes — and then return immediately to the traditional voting methods that served us well for two centuries.

Yet the problems extended far beyond fraud. “The 2020 presidential election was not fair, and no honest person would claim that it was,” Carlson explained. “The system was rigged against one candidate and in favor of another, and not in ways that were hidden from view.”

“The media openly colluded with the Democratic nominees. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris refused to explain what they would do if they were elected,” he continued. “That’s never happened before in any presidential election in American history, but the media allowed them to do it.”

To be precise, it never happened to this election’s degree. Note here that in his 2011 book Left Turn, UCLA political science professor Tim Groseclose wrote about how his studies found that media “bias aids Democratic candidates by about 8 to 10 percentage points in a typical election.” That was nine years ago, too — imagine, with Trump Derangement Syndrome, how many points it shifted to Democrats in 2020.

Yet it gets worse. Carlson later stated:
At the same time, beginning in the spring, Democrats used our public health emergency for nakedly partisan ends. They punished Trump supporters for trying to gather, but they exempted their own activists — rioters and vandals from Black Lives Matter and Antifa — from the COVID lockdowns entirely. The restrictions they did enforce crushed America’s small businesses, the heart of the Republican Party, while making their own donors fantastically richer. Jeff Bezos alone saw his net worth jump by more than $70 billion during the pandemic.
Then, Democrats used the coronavirus to change the system of voting. They vastly increased the number of mail-in ballots because they knew their candidates would benefit from less secure voting. And they were right. They used the courts to neutralize the Republican Party’s single most effective get out the vote operation, which for generations had been the National Rifle Association. Not enough has been written about this, but anyone on the ground saw it. Thanks to legal harassment from the left, the NRA played a vastly reduced role in this election, and that made a huge difference in swing states like Pennsylvania and others.
It gets even worse still, however, because “above all, Democrats harnessed the power of Big Tech to win this election,” averred Carlson. The host pointed out that virtually all news and information in the Anglosphere is filtered through Google — the most powerful company in world history — and much news is disseminated, and many debates occur, on Facebook and Twitter. This tech triad, which I’ve called GoogTwitFace, has tremendous power to reshape society. And it’s controlled lock, stock, and barrel by the Left.

How bad is it? Last night Carlson interviewed Dr. Robert Epstein, a Democrat-favoring liberal and senior research psychologist at the American Institute for Behavioral Research and Technology. Having warned for years that “Big Tech companies now have unprecedented power to sway elections,” he estimated in February “that they can easily shift 15 million votes” to their chosen candidate “without people knowing and without leaving a paper trail.” Note that as of now, Biden only leads Trump by six million votes.

Interestingly, this is also precisely the minimum number of votes that Epstein says Big Tech manipulation shifted toward Biden this election (video below).

Emphasizing that he didn’t support Trump, Epstein explained his research efforts, saying, “We had 733 field agents in three key swing states this year, Arizona, North Carolina, and Florida, and we preserved more than 500,000 ephemeral [short-lived] experiences — … about 30 times more data than we got in 2016.”

Epstein found the obvious: That Google search results were strongly biased in favor of liberals and Democrats and were displayed to every demographic — with conservatives getting even a bit more left-wing bias in their results than liberals did.

Epstein’s team also found what he called “a smoking gun”: “a period of days when the vote reminder on Google’s homepage was being sent only to liberals,” he stated. “Not one of our conservative field agents received a vote reminder during those days.”

And get this: When Epstein went public with this information, Google ceased the manipulation and began showing the vote reminders to conservatives as well (another “glitch,” huh?).

The researcher pointed out that there were, however, “multiple manipulations” during the election season and that his team monitored Facebook, YouTube, and other tech companies as well. The bottom line, he says, is that the manipulation shifted at least six million votes toward Biden at a “bare minimum.” The maximum figure they don’t yet know because there’s so much data to analyze.
Epstein reminds us that his findings merely vindicate what leaked information from Google previously showed: The company was going to do whatever it took to ensure President Trump wouldn’t be reelected.

This aim was partially driven by ideology, of course, but also by the fact that an outside-the-box, anti-establishment type such as Trump is the only kind of politician Big Tech fears. Buying off establishment politicians (and even academics, Epstein points out), these companies know they’ll get favorable treatment and protection from antitrust action. So they aimed to destroy the one man they couldn’t bribe.

Epstein also has a reminder for liberals: Google is not your friend. For example, the company helps the despotic Chinese government tyrannize its own people.

So what’s Big Tech’s ultimate goal? If you want “control of a culture, you need two choke points,” Liberty University law professor Phill Kline explained earlier this month. “You want to control the flow of information, which is the lifeblood of a [republic]” — ergo, Big Tech censorship. “And next, you control the way in which they [people] select their leaders.” Mission accomplished.

Oh, and what about all that vote fraud? Well, GoogTwitFace and the mainstream media are the entities that censor even discussion about it. Out of sight, out of mind.

OK. Here's the question. HAS PA AND NV CERTIFIED THE ELECTION?"

Is it important? If they have, Trump can go after them for fraud and it can all be reversed. If not, they know they're dangling over the abyss and are looking for a way out. There is no downside in the simple fact of certification. It's like lying on a 4473. Signing your name doesn't end it, it can be just the beginning.
