The 2020 presidential election is the most bizarre in my lifetime. This kind of election destroys Americans trust in our system nation wide.
I have never seen:
The media call an election before all votes are counted.
The growing examples of not only voter fraud but growing proof of election fraud.
The tech giants attempt to paint anyone who disagrees with them negatively or even censoring them.
The lack of some GOP elected officials to get behind the movement to #CountEveryLegalVote.
The odds that a weak candidate like Biden could win anything without help from organized election fraudsters.
The lack of justice in state supreme courts to sworn testimony of voter/election fraud on a massive scale.
It’s been a month since major news organizations projected Joe Biden to win the 2020 election. But 83% of Republicans polled by Gallup in the days afterward indicated they didn’t believe the reports.
In the poll, taken from November 9 to 15, 99% of Democrats, 64% of independents, and 17% of Republicans characterized the news reports as “accurate.”
The vast majority of Republicans polled — 89% — said they didn’t believe the electoral process worked well, while 92% of Democrats said it did.
The 2020 election was unlike any other in US history, with an unprecedented surge in mail-in voting, a raging pandemic, and a huge spike in domestic misinformation.
Here’s one example of the odds of Biden’s win in swing states.
Chances of Biden winning Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin independently after @realDonaldTrump’s early lead is less than one in a quadrillion:
➡️ 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000
Chances of him winning collectively is “one in a quadrillion to the 4th power”

It is unlikely that those paid to make AOC’s sweatshirt could afford to buy the end product —even if they’re earning what she calls a “living wage.”
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez did what she does best this week and created another social media firestorm.
It all started when a Twitter account called Tax March, which apparently advocates for higher taxes, posted a link to the congresswoman’s online merchandise store and complimented a sweatshirt she sells.
The sweatshirt pictured is a plain, black, cotton item emblazoned with the words “tax the rich.”. But the style itself is not what made headlines, rather it was the price tag: a whopping $58.
The usual (and deserved) criticisms poured in quickly.
Never one to back down from a fight, the congresswoman responded to the criticism on her own Twitter account stating that the merchandise was “made in the US with dignified, union jobs paying living wages.”
Republicans are freaking out bc we don’t use slave-wage labor for merch that funds grassroots organizing.
But what’s the difference between Trump’s merch and ours?
Ours is made in the US. 🇺🇸
(& for GOP who joke that we shld give 👕 for free, we actually do – just volunteer 😉) https://t.co/35DnbFYQyC
She went on to say that “Republicans are freaking out because we don’t use slave-wage labor for merch that funds our grassroots organizing” and that people could obtain the sweatshirt for free if they chose to volunteer for her.
We’ll leave the fact that the congresswoman included the term “slave-wage labor” in a post that simultaneously called for others to work for her for free alone, as we have bigger fish to fry here. (But, come on.)
So to summarize, Ocasio-Cortez is selling sweatshirts that say “tax the rich” at a price most poor or working class people could not reasonably afford. She’s making money off of her merchandise that attacks the creation of wealth. And her excuse for all of this hypocrisy is that it costs more to buy from whole-sellers who pay a “living wage” and use American labor. There’s a lot to unpack here.
While Ocasio-Cortez clearly thinks her choice to employ operations that pay a “living wage” (presumably at least $15 an hour) is virtuous, it actually perfectly portrays how her economic ideas hurt people—especially the poor.
As the cost for labor increases, so do the prices of goods and services.
As much as Ocasio-Cortez likes to think she’s sticking it to the rich by buying from companies that pay their employees more than their fair market value, in reality she’s just passing those increased labor costs on to her supporters.
When companies are forced to pay too much for labor, either due to governmental rules or regulations, they merely bake those costs into the price of their product.
When that product is something as frivolous as a luxury sweatshirt peddling trite socialist slogans, we can laugh about it. But Ocasio-Cortez wants to use big government to force these costly business conditions on every industry—meaning the cost of essential goods like food, automobiles, and essential clothing items would all increase. That doesn’t uplift struggling people—it spells disaster for the poor.
Ocasio-Cortez and her ilk might counter that their mandates would increase peoples’ take-home pay, so they could afford higher prices and still obtain a higher quality of life. However, it’s also important to remember that when the price of goods and services increase, real wages fall. Real income is not nominal wages, it is an individual’s actual purchasing power in the market. Even if someone is paid $15 an hour, they will likely see their purchasing power decrease as the price of goods and services increase as a result of companies having to pay workers too much. As one example, it is unlikely that those paid to make AOC’s sweatshirt could afford to buy the end product in this scenario—even if they’re earning what she calls a “living wage.” Ultimately, people care about what their paychecks can buy, not the number itself.
Furthermore, Ocasio-Cortez’s use of the term “Made in America” may have just been intended to troll Trump-supporting Republicans, but the congresswoman accidentally proved why free trade creates prosperity. When the US or any country tries to force domestic production of certain goods that can be made more efficiently in other countries, it results in inefficiency and higher prices.
That’s how you end up hawking a nearly $60 sweater when the same thing could be available for half or one-quarter of the price.
Personally, I like to buy from and support American companies when I can. But the reality is that our regulatory framework, cost of labor, and business taxes make many American-made products far more expensive. When I can afford to, I’m happy to buy local, but I’m beyond grateful I have the option to buy globalized products when it comes to high-end items like my iPhone, which would be quite expensive if it was a “Made in America” product.
If these kinds of products were only made in America, and if Ocasio-Cortez got her way and made it impossible to hire anyone for less than $15 an hour, no one but the very wealthy would be able to afford this technology.
If politicians want to elevate American companies and products, they should work to deregulate our economy, slash corporate taxes, and create an economy where businesses can create cost-effective products. Until that happens, we should all thank our lucky stars we have the ability to order cheaper products from other places.
And we shouldn’t devalue the work being done by others to produce these goods in other parts of the world. Nowadays, it’s become popular to virtue-signal against “sweatshops” in other countries. But as is so often the case with those more focused on virtue-signals than price-signals, these ideas would also hurt the poor. Developing countries need to be able to compete in a global marketplace. And while these jobs may not meet our standards in an industrialized country, they are a life raft to those struggling to obtain basic necessities in third-world countries.
Plain and simple, when put into practice, the policies that undergird Ocasio-Cortez’s worldview hurt people. In contrast, free markets (when allowed to operate organically) lead to an abundance of affordable products and all people having greater access to goods and services. And free trade is an essential component of free markets. “It is the maxim of every prudent master of a family, never to attempt to make at home what it will cost him more to make than to buy,” wrote Adam Smith. “What is prudence in the conduct of every private family, can scarce be folly in that of a great kingdom.”
We can forgive everyday people for making the kinds of Econ 101 errors that plague this agenda. But as an educated congresswoman, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has no excuse. We can laugh about her expensive sweaters, yet there’s nothing funny about the fact that the policies she pushes would make life less affordable for all Americans.

What Americans witnessed on November 3rd didn’t just happen. A lot of people don’t remember, but the seeds for this election mess were planted way back in 2018 when Democrats won the House. The coronavirus didn’t hurt, of course, but the cheat was on long before Joe Biden was nominated. Why does that matter? Because — the president’s attorneys warn — if Republicans don’t keep fighting, the damage to our democracy is here to stay.
Liberals are getting restless. The media is impatient. Even some Republicans, men and women who believe there was legitimate fraud, want the White House to throw in the towel and move on. Why don’t they? Because at the end of the day, this isn’t about the presidential election. It’s about the sanctity of American law. We aren’t just talking about Pennsylvania’s law or Georgia’s law — but the power of every state legislature to pass laws with the expectation that they will be upheld. Right now, elected leaders in state legislatures can’t even perform their most basic function without other state officials and courts overruling them. That’s not how democracy works. So when the Left tells everyone to “move on,” they aren’t pressuring us to give up on Donald Trump — but our entire constitutional system.
Americans have laws for a reason, and when they’re violated or ignored, it should concern everyone. Trump attorney Cleta Mitchell, who’s had her eyes on the Left for two years, knows the game plan. As far as she’s concerned, the 2020 election has been a coordinated sabotage since the earliest days of the new Congress. “Don’t forget,” she said on “Washington Watch,” “H.R. 1 — the first bill taken up by Nancy Pelosi when the Democrats won control of the House in 2018, was a massive election bill that would have provided for [this mail-in balloting] everywhere in the country.” Of course, as usual, the Democrats couldn’t accomplish any of their radical election plans democratically. So they started filing lawsuits to sue their way to an absentee system that would open up new avenues for manipulation. “Even in 2019,” Cleta points out, “they started [suing]… in Mississippi, Louisiana, cases in practically every state… [They] spent literally hundreds of millions of dollars (it might not surprise you to learn that George Soros funded it, [and] Marc Elias [of Russia-gate fame] managed it.”
The strategy was to get judges to “adopt laws — quote unquote — or orders that basically threw out the duly enacted laws of the state legislatures,” Cleta explained. Then the coronavirus hit, and it was the perfect storm for the Left’s stalking horse: rewriting election laws that would undermine the election safeguards and ballot integrity the states have in place. Even Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R), Cleta said, when he was sued by Stacey Abrams (D) capitulated. “Instead of fighting them, saying, ‘I have no authority, and the judge has no authority to change the law — that’s the legislature’s responsibility,’ he ended up settling with them and entering a consent decree.” And you and I both know, she shook her head, “what happens to Republican officeholders when they decide that they like to be loved by the media and the Left. It’s not good for conservatives.” And, as we’ve seen, it’s not good for the process.
For the time being, there’s at least a very compelling case in Georgia. When it comes to fraud, people keep asking, “Where’s the evidence?” Well, as the Trump campaign said in its filing on Friday: here it is. Their court petition has more than 1,000 pages of sworn testimony and nearly 100 affidavits — signed under penalty of perjury. “There’s nothing in this lawsuit that is not backed up by either a sworn affidavit by an eyewitness as to a violation of a Georgia election code or a declaration by an expert who has analyzed the Georgia state election and voting records.” It would be difficult for Raffensperger to read the petition and not understand that there are tens of thousands of illegal votes — “more than enough [to make up the margin of victory] that should be thrown out,” Cleta argues.
“That’s what’s so remarkable here…” Cleta went on. “Several of these violations — just taken by themselves — would be three to four times the number required to invalidate the election. [It’s] all in there. So… I will guarantee that the secretary of state, the number one defendant, has not read the analysis of his own data.” But whatever anyone says, she argued, “this election was not valid. Those results are not valid. And the secretary of state has a lot to answer for in my opinion.”
Her concern, like a lot of voters, is that these issues need to be cleaned up before the Senate runoff elections. The courts and certain state officials helped the Left undermine election laws, and the legislature needs to assert itself to make sure that a) that doesn’t happen again, and b) that it doesn’t affect January 5th. When almost 40 percent of the country thinks November 3rd was a rigged election, the last thing Americans need is to have the Senate thrown into the same limbo.

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

Attorney General Jeff Landry’s Statement on 2020 Federal Elections and Recent Texas Motion Before the Supreme Court
Louisiana Dept of Justice, December 8, 2020:
BATON ROUGE, LA – Attorney General Jeff Landry issued the following statement regarding the ongoing controversies over the 2020 federal election and the new motion put forward by the State of Texas before the U.S. Supreme Court: “Millions of Louisiana citizens, and tens of millions of our fellow citizens in the country, have deep concerns regarding the conduct of the 2020 federal elections. Deeply rooted in these concerns is the fact that some states appear to have conducted their elections with a disregard to the U.S. Constitution. Furthermore, many Louisianans have become more frustrated as some in media and the political class try to sidestep legitimate issues for the sake of expediency.
Weeks ago, on behalf of the citizens of Louisiana, my office joined many other states in filing a legal brief with the United States Supreme Court urging the Justices to look into the conduct of the election in Pennsylvania where their state court ignored the U.S. Constitution in regard to the conduct of the election. The U.S. Constitution in Article 1, Section 4, states plainly: “The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature …” The power for the conduct of federal elections is held by the State Legislatures in each state. In states like Pennsylvania, the judicial branch attempted to seize control of these duties and obligations and to set their own rules. These actions appear to be unconstitutional. If it is unconstitutional for Pennsylvania to take this action, it is similarly unconstitutional for other states to have done the same.
Only the U.S. Supreme Court can ultimately decide cases of real controversy among the states under our Constitution. That is why the Justices should hear and decide the case which we have joined representing the citizens of Louisiana.
Furthermore, the U.S. Supreme Court should consider the most recent Texas motion, which contains some of the same arguments.
Louisiana citizens are damaged if elections in other states were conducted outside the confines of the Constitution while we obeyed the rules.”

Concept of US presidentail election ballot being completed
The Center for Security Policy Founder and Executive Chairman Frank Gaffney hosted a critical webinar on mounting evidence of fraud in the 2020 presidential election and the implications of this fraud for the future of our republic with Colonel Phil Waldron, U.S. Army Retired, and the Center’s Senior Analyst for Strategy Dr. J. Michael Waller.
Colonel Waldron reminded viewers that it was President Obama who established the February 2013 Presidential Policy Directive – Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience (PPD-21) “to strengthen the security and resilience of its critical infrastructure against both physical and cyber threats” and that his DHS secretary Jeh Johnson designated U.S. election systems as part of the nation’s critical infrastructure on January 6, 2017. Waldron explained, though, that despite this designation there is no national standard for cybersecurity for these systems and that the government agency responsible for protecting it – DHS – has been woefully unprepared.
Waldron made it clear that the recently fired director of DHS’s Cyber and Infrastructure Agency (CISA) – Christopher Krebs – was completely wrong when he stated that the election was the “most secure in American history,” and that “there is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.” He went into detail to demonstrate that at least two of Krebs’ assumptions were incorrect: that voting machines are “air gapped” from the internet and that the states maintain mechanisms to prevent fraudulent activity in their elections. Waldron pointed to numerous examples of the fraud, including the more than 17,000 votes cast in Michigan and nearly 40,000 votes cast in Pennsylvania by deceased voters. He and Frank Gaffney also discussed the extremely informative HBO Documentary “Kill Chain” which demonstrated well before the election just how vulnerable these voting machines are to electronic manipulation, including through their connectivity to the internet.
Waller explained that the election systems and procedures used by the United States neither meets the standards established by the U.S. State Department for its evaluations of elections in foreign countries or the well-respected “Jimmy Carter standards” established at The Carter Center and used worldwide. He explained how the “DNA” of the voting machine software traces back to Venezuela where it was designed to keep Hugo Chavez in power perpetually. He explained that Venezuela, like many other Latin American nations, actually has much stricter voter identification rules and systems, so that capability to electronically manipulate votes had to be designed around these “obstacles.” In comparison, Dr. Waller stated, “the United States’ election system is a soft target.”
Both the webinar’s viewers and its experts decried the lack of focus on this critical issue of election security by the intelligence community, law enforcement, and other government agencies and the overwhelming censorship on the topic by media and social media giants who consistently state that stories of election fraud are “baseless claims.” Mr. Gaffney made it clear that the republic itself is at stake if we don’t fix these issues, and fast.
Waller was pessimistic for our nation’s future because he did not believe this attack on the right of Americans to free and fair elections will be countered. Colonel Waldron’s prognosis was positive because he sees that the American people – from whom the United States’ government gets its own power and legitimacy – are waking up to this threat. COLUMN BY

It appears that for years one party has focused on the principle of getting out the vote. This is done at the local level where party members knock on doors and ask people to legally register to vote.
Another party has for years decided that it is easier to steal the votes using various means. QUESTION: Guess which party uses GOTV vs. GSTV?
This idea came to me after I received an email from Stop-Republicans.org titled Should Trump be invited to Joe Biden’s Inauguration?
The email asks:
We CAN’T WAIT for Joe Biden’s Inauguration in January.
We know that Biden’s presidency will be the beginning of something GREAT for our country.
And there’s one thing that will make that historic Inauguration Day even sweeter — if Donald Trump ISN’T there!!
We can humiliate Trump one final time, but we need to know whether 34238 Democrats agree with our plan. So, let us know…
Vitriol is palatable. Why would anyone want to “humiliate” any president? Why would one faction want to dis-invite the outgoing president? Why, just one party that I know of.
Go Steal The Votes
There are four pillars that undergird the Democrat’s Election Fraud in 2020:
Voting machines (specifically Dominion Voting).
Mail-in-ballots (people like West Virginian Jeff Harshman who posted on his Facebook page, “I voted 29 times by mail in 29 different districts in battleground states. Vote Joe no matter what!!!”)
Faulty voter rolls (a.k.a. dirty voter rolls) dead people voting, people voting who do not live in the state in which the ballot is counted and “ghost voters”.
Failures by the USPS to either deliver ballots, failure to properly post mark ballots (in swing states) or caught intentionally destroying ballots which have been found in dumpsters.
Let’s take a serious look at each one of these four pillars that have led to massive election fraud in 2020.
We first learned about what was called a “computer glitch” that flipped Trump votes into Biden votes in the state of Michigan. WATCH:
But it’s much, much worse!
In one county in Michigan Joe Biden was well ahead, but the tally didn’t match with the past voting patterns. In the last 135 years the voters of Antrim County voted Republican in 32 of 34 elections. It turned out the software used in the voting machines had flipped as many as 6,000 votes. After the error was fixed, Donald Trump was 2,000 votes ahead of Biden.
Another computer glitch in Oakland County Michigan caused a similar flip. What are the odds? Strangely, it didn’t flip votes up for Trump, only down. Not so much a bug perhaps as a design feature? The philanthropy group that worked with Dominion from 2014 – 2017 to provide “access to Voting Technology” for “emerging democracies”? The Clinton Foundation.
This voting technology may now be the largest automated system to steal an election in U.S. history.
Because of this the Republicans have asked for another 47 Michigan counties (of 83 counties) to recount their votes, but it’s worse than that. Dominion Software is used in 30 other states across the USA, including every single “key” swinging state. Some of their machines were also reportedly faulty on the day of the election and voting hours were extended for those counties to try to help those who couldn’t vote due to the breakdown. WATCH:#MalkinLive –Election update.
They say that history has a strange habit of repeating itself. So do politicians.
The Democrats have pushed the idea that mail-in ballots are the best solution for voters. This is not a new idea, but rather just another attempt to steal an election. The first attempt to use mail-in ballots occurred during the 1864 election.
In a eye opening column in The Washington Post titled Mail-in ballots were part of a plot to deny Lincoln reelection in 1864 Dustin Waters wrote:
Traveling to Baltimore in the fall of 1864, Orville Wood had no way of knowing he would soon uncover the most elaborate election conspiracy in America’s brief history.
Wood was a merchant from Clinton County in the most northeastern corner of New York. As a supporter of President Abraham Lincoln, he was tasked with visiting troops from his hometown to “look after the local ticket.”
New York legislators had only established the state’s mail-in voting system in April with the intent of ensuring the suffrage of White troops battling the Confederate Army.
This great “election conspiracy was conducted by the Democratic Party, known as the Copperheads. The Copperheads were:
[T]he Northern wing of the Democratic Party, which opposed the Civil War. These Peace Democrats urged an immediate, peaceful settlement with the Confederacy. Many supported slavery and blamed the war on abolitionists. They argued that Southern states had the right to secede and that the federal government’s policies under President Abraham Lincoln violated the Constitution. Republican writers labeled these Democrats Copperheads to suggest that they were poisonous snakes, betraying and endangering the Union. The Democrats accepted the label, reframing it as a reference to the image of Liberty on a copper penny. In some cases, members of the group were arrested for treason, tried, and imprisoned or sent into the Confederate states. The Copperhead Catechism refers to Fernando Wood who was New York City’s mayor, and later, a congressman. Wood was an avowed Copperhead who, in 1861, had urged the city to secede in order to maintain revenues from the cotton trade. Read more.
Dustin Waters noted:
The results of the 1864 elections would heavily affect the outcome of the war. Lincoln and his supporters in the National Union Party sought to continue the war and defeat the Confederacy outright. Meanwhile antiwar Democrats, also referred to as Copperheads, looked for an immediate compromise with the Confederate leaders and the end of the abolition movement. Read more.
The Second Great Election Conspiracy
Fast forward to the 2020 Presidential Election. Like their predecessors The Copperheads the Democrats have rekindled the the old, and proven fraudulent, use of mail-in ballots. Their excuse? COVID-19. The Democrats have made this pandemic and the USPS an issue to blackmail states and force them to pass legislation allowing mail-in ballots.
In a Daily Signal column titled Potential for Fraud Is Why Mail-In Elections Should Be Dead LetterHans von Spakovsky wrote:
Absentee ballots are the tools of choice of election fraudsters because they are voted outside the supervision of election officials, making it easier to steal, forge, or alter them, as well as to intimidate voters.
Going entirely to by-mail elections would unwisely endanger the security and integrity of the election process, particularly if officials automatically mail absentee ballots to all registered voters without a signed, authenticated request from each voter.
Voter registration rolls are notoriously inaccurate and out of date, containing the names of voters who are deceased, have moved, or otherwise have become ineligible.
October 17, 2018- Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton appeared on the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) to discuss election integrity and how dirty voter rolls can mean dirty elections.
Elkins Park, Pa., USPS whistleblower: “The only political mail that will be delivered from now on will be that of the ‘winner,’ in this case, Joe Biden. Other political mail from other sources and senders would be put into the undeliverable bulk business mail bin.”
Elkins Park, Pa., USPS whistleblower: “All political mail for Biden was to be continued to be treated as first-class and delivered the day it was received.”
Elkins Park, Pa., USPS whistleblower: “I think that we’re a delivery service and that [playing politics] is not really our place.”
Elkins Park, Pa., USPS whistleblower: “The only thing that’s going to prevent a fraudulent election is people having the courage to come forward. I wouldn’t want to say that I had the opportunity to do that and didn’t do it.”
Whistleblower says Elkins Park, Pa., USPS Supervisor of Customer Services Walter Lee gave the order to 30 postal workers
What is going on with the USPS? Since when do they decide what political mail goes out or gets discarded?
This is the third Pennsylvania USPS Insider to blow the whistle on election malfeasance in the last week. There is something going on with USPS and we must get to the bottom of it immediately. To read all of the articles about the failures of the USPS click here.
Election fraud is real. Election fraud is a threat to our free and fair election system. Anyone who commits election fraud is an enemy of the state.
Conclusion
Elections in the future will be about who can steal the most votes. If this election fraud is not stop dead in its tracks then free and fair elections will become a thing of the past.
As Joseph Stalin said:
“I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this — who will count the votes, and how.”
Intentionally stealing votes is worth of third world countries. Once any party will to steal an election takes power the only way to remove them from power is by force. As the Declaration of Independence states:
That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, – That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness

The letter below was sent to me by a former Special Agent with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. – JE
John,
I’m sure you are as concerned as many of us about the election process in many of the democratic controlled swing states as well as what is happening in our state.
I’ve lived in Georgia numerous times since the 60’s and corruption has always permeated the city of Atlanta and Fulton County. I spent most of my time as a Special Agent with the GBI Intelligence Unit investigating this corruption. It has gotten much worse since those days.
The GA Secretary of State has indicated that Fulton County followed normal procedures in counting votes and there was nothing fraudulent about the ballot boxes pulled from beneath tables after the announcement to stop counting for the night. I simply cannot accept such a general explanation and don’t think any citizen should accept such a flimsy answer.
I just sent emails through the Secretary of State’s website with my concerns and specific questions that need to be answered. I believe everyone should be bombarding them asking for specific answers. The following is a summary of my statements and questions:
Why will you not conduct a hand count comparison of the number of absentee/mail-in ballots to signed envelopes?
Numerous red flags question the legitimacy of what happened after Fulton County announced vote counting was being discontinued for the night. The entire process smells bad:
Why did Fulton Election Officials continue pulling out ballot boxes from beneath tables after announcing the counting was being stopped for the night?
Why were these ballot boxes concealed beneath tables when the facility was large enough to stack them in plain site?
Where did these ballot boxes come from?
When did they arrive at the vote counting center?
Did these containers have any identification numbers on them?
How were they transported to the center? Exact identification of the transport?
Who brought them into the counting room? Names please!
Were these boxes logged in when arriving in the counting room? By Whom?
Please describe the exact process.
What are the names of the vote counters remaining after the stop counting announcement?
What are the names of the vote counters and observers that left the center after the stop counting announcement?
Were there any Republicans or others observing the vote counting after the stop counting announcement? What are their names? Did they actually observe the individual ballots as they were counted?
What was the exact distribution of votes counted between Trump and Biden during the time after the stop voting announcement?
I also made the following comments in my emails:
It doesn’t appear that you have answers to these questions. Your explanations that there doesn’t appear to be any problem with the Fulton after hours vote counting is very weak considering the unanswered questions above. Many voters just don’t believe your recent explanations. Where is the DOCUMENTATION?

When the president touched down in Georgia on Saturday, his legal team was already on the ground. Thanks to the “smoking suitcase video,” documented irregularities, and witness testimony, the Trump campaign thinks it has more than enough evidence to challenge the state’s election results. Only this time, the team doesn’t just want a hearing — it wants a new statewide election.
“Due to significant systemic misconduct, fraud, and other irregularities occurring during the election process, many thousands of illegal votes were cast, counted, and included in the tabulations from the Contested Election for the Office of the President of the United States, thereby creating substantial doubt regarding the results of that election,” the lawsuit, filed in court on Friday, reads.
Of course, the image Democrats can’t seem to shake is the blockbuster video of four suitcases that appear to be stuffed with ballots, pulled out from under a table, and counted and scanned without election supervisors present. Regardless of how the media is trying to dismiss this story (and a simple Google search shows how desperately they’re trying), “legitimate ballots do not come in suitcases,” Rush Limbaugh pointed out, “That’s not how they are transported. That’s not how they are collected. It’s not how they are stored. They don’t come in suitcases! You don’t need to know any more than that to know something is awry here.” And yet, Democrats are still insisting there’s no evidence of fraud. “Do they even know what ‘evidence’ means? Of course they do. They’re just lying through their teeth about it.”
Republican members, like Rep. Jody Hice (R-Ga.), were just as shocked. “This EXPLOSIVE fraud is ORGANIZED,” he tweeted. “People do not spontaneously conceal cases of ballots in a counting room to be counted later in secret. It requires money, logistics and leadership — like Stacey Abrams’s group that’s already under investigation. Who’s running this operation?”
In a state where less than 12,000 ballots separate Joe Biden and Donald Trump, this is the kind of coordinated manipulation that can sway elections. The media, meanwhile, is frantically trying to debunk the story — insisting this was a completely above-board operation (which just happened to exclude poll watchers and other Republican officials). Remember Election night, Mollie Hemingway asks? Every major news outlet was reporting that Georgia’s “ballot counters were sent home.” So what are they doing pulling out suitcases of ballots and feeding them through machines in secret?
That’s something the Trump legal team wants to get to the bottom of — along with a laundry list of other problems and irregularities, several of which would more than close the 12,000-vote gap. According to Trump’s legal team:
“Data experts also provided sworn testimony in the lawsuit identifying thousands of illegal votes: 2,560 felons; 66,247 underage voters, 2,423 votes from people not registered; 1,043 individuals registered at post office boxes; 4,926 individuals who voted in Georgia after registering in another state; 395 individuals who voted in two states; 15,700 votes from people who moved out of state before the election; 40,279 votes of people who moved without reregistering in their new county; and another 30,000 to 40,000 absentee ballots lacking proper signature matching and verification.”
Is it any wonder the media is having a tough time selling its “fair and honest election” headlines? Politico, one of the outlets on the ground in Georgia, was stunned at how many Americans still don’t believe the election results. Reporter James Arkin said they’d talked to more than two dozen voters, and “not a single person told Politico they thought Joe Biden had won the election.” This was mind-boggling to Arkin, who pointed out that there’d been a recount in Georgia and other states.
But frankly, America’s misgivings shouldn’t surprise anyone. Voters saw how Democrats abused the process in the name of COVID, how they twisted and changed election laws without legislatures’ consent. Trust in the system was at a record low well before Election Day. There was a time, the president told the crowd Saturday night, when “I used to say, ‘Without borders, we don’t have a country.’ I can also say that without an honest voting system, without an electoral process that’s honest and fair, we don’t have a country either.” Which is why, the president said, “Now is not the time to retreat. Now is the time to fight harder than before.”

Republican Arizona lawmakers said in a press release Sunday they will make a joint statement addressing the “urgent need” to decertify the state’s 2020 election results.
The group of 28 state Republican legislative members and members-elect, including Arizona House Majority Leader Warren Petersen, will announce Monday their view that the number of fraud allegations warrant an investigation.
“The election should not have been certified with the number of irregularities and allegations of fraud. Especially troubling to me are the allegations surrounding the vendor Dominion,” Petersen said in the press release. “It is imperative that a forensic audit occur immediately of the equipment and software. Upon any showing of fraud the legislature should immediately convene to decertify the vote.”
President-elect Joe Biden defeated President Donald Trump in Arizona by nearly 10,500 votes, and Arizona Republican Gov. Doug Ducey signed off on the election certification Nov. 30.

Arizona Republican Party chair Kelli Ward filed a lawsuit in November to challenge Arizona’s election results, which was permitted under state law that allows any individual to challenge election results based on allegations of misconduct. This was the 2nd election lawsuit that involved Ward.
Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Randall Warner said Dec. 4, as a result of the case, there is no evidence of election fraud, the Arizona Mirror reported. Based on a review of more than 1,600 Maricopa County ballots by lawyers and forensic analysts, only nine contained an error, according to Warner.
“The duplication process for the presidential election was 99.45% accurate,” he said. “And there is no evidence that the inaccuracies were intentional or part of a fraudulent scheme. They were mistakes. And given both the small number of duplicate ballots and the low error rate, the evidence does not show any impact on the outcome.”
In a separate lawsuit in Maricopa County, the state Republican Party asked for a hand recount of ballots by precinct, NBC reported. The GOP did not claim vote fraud in the suit, but challenged if the state’s audit met Arizona laws, according to NBC. There have been 7 election lawsuits filed in Arizona to date, which have not resulted in any wins for the GOP.
Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers said Dec. 4 overturning the state’s election results would be a violation of voter’s will and state law.
“Nothing in the U.S. Constitution or the decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court even suggests that the Arizona Legislature could retroactively appoint different electors who would cast their ballots for 2 different candidates,” Bowers’ statement said. COLUMN BY

Just Last week, Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe also said authorities “have identified that two foreign actors, Iran and Russia, have taken specific actions” to influence the upcoming elections.
Director of National Intelligence: Election ‘Issues’ Need to Be Resolved Before Winner Declared
The top U.S. intelligence official suggested on Sunday that election lawsuits and other issues need to be resolved first before the winner of the Nov. 3 presidential election is declared.
By Jack Phillips, The Epoch Times, December 7, 2020: Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe told Fox Business that issues brought up by President Donald Trump’s legal team have to be heard in court.
“These election issues, we’ll see who is in what seats and whether there is a Biden administration,” he told the broadcaster.
Ratcliffe said that due to the unprecedented expansion of mail-in voting, many questions remain about the results.
“Essentially we had universal mail-in balloting across this country in a way we hadn’t seen before, and to that point, almost 73 percent of the American people this year voted before Election Day, a good percentage of those by mail,” he said.
“That’s about an 80 percent increase over anything we’ve ever seen before, so it’s little wonder that we see what’s happening around the country as a result of that, with mail-in balloting and all of the questions—and the questions that are being raised in lawsuits and by everyday Americans about what happened in the election,” Ratcliffe said.
In the interview Sunday, Ratcliffe made note of allegations that were brought up in recent days, including a truck driver who claimed to have transported hundreds of thousands of apparently completed mail-in ballots from a town in Long Island, New York, to Pennsylvania. He also referred to recent footage obtained by Trump’s team that shows election workers pulling out black, suitcase-like ballot containers from beneath a table after poll observers and other election workers were apparently told to go home for the night at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta.
“But people need to understand that’s different than election fraud issues—things like postal drivers saying they took 200,000-plus ballots from New York to Pennsylvania. Tens of thousands of ballots supposedly mailed in, but no folds or creases in them. More votes than ballots issued in places,” the intelligence chief said. “People pulling out suitcases and video evidence of that with questionable explanations for that. Those are issues of election fraud that need to be investigated and there’s a lot of them and it’s not just one person or one group of people. It’s across the country.”
Georgia election officials said the video showing containers being pulled from the table is not unusual, while Trump’s team said it is evidence of fraud. Officials in Fulton County, Georgia, and election officials have provided conflicting accounts of what happened on the night of Nov. 3, with one Fulton County spokesperson, Regina Waller, telling ABC News and other outlets at 11:30 p.m. on Election Night that vote counting was done for the night.
Later that week, other Fulton County officials confirmed that counting had continued for several hours longer. Georgia’s Republican Party chief, David Shafer, has said that poll observers were not present during this time period.
As a result, Ratcliffe said numerous Americans don’t believe “the votes were counted fairly, that the processes at the state and local level weren’t administered fairly.

President Trump: “The Case Has Been Made – You’ll See a Lot of Big Things Happening Over the Next Couple of Days” (Video)
President Trump spoke with liberal reporters today at the White House after he honored US wrestling champion and Iowa Hawkey wrestling coach Dan Gables.
By Jim Hoft, Gateway Pundit, December 7, 2020: President Trump did not appear worried at all.
President Trump told reporters, “It’s a disgrace to our country. It’s like a third world country. These ballots pouring in from everywhere using machinery that nobody knows ownership, nobody knows anything about. They have glitches that aren’t glitches. They got caught sending out thousands of votes. All against me by the way. You know this was like from a third world nation. And I think the case has been made and now we find out what we can do about it. But you’ll see a lot of big things happening over the next couple of days.

By Sandy Fitzgerald | 05 December 2020 11:43 AM An overwhelming majority of congressional Republicans won’t acknowledge Joe Biden as the President-Elect, according to a Washington Post survey.
The survey was taken the morning after President Donald Trump posted a 46-minute video claiming he’d won the election and alleged “corrupt forces” were trying to steal his victory. Just 25 out of 222 Republicans acknowledged Biden’s win.
Ninety percent of Senate and House GOP members have yet to say who the winner is. The Post survey asked lawmakers three questions: Who won the presidential contest, do you support or oppose Trump’s continuing efforts to claim victory, and if they will accept Biden as the legitimately elected president if he wins the electoral college majority.
Only 8 Republicans said they support Trump’s claim of victory.
The survey also found that 11 of 52 Senate Republicans acknowledge Biden’s win. Out of 14 House Republicans who recognized Biden as the winner, six will be retiring from politics later this month and two others represent districts that Biden won.
GOP Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., who worked with Biden on the “Beau Biden Cancer Moonshot” proposal, called Biden the president-elect and promised to work with the new administration shortly after the election was called by most news outlets on Nov. 7.
Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., did not acknowledge the win until Nov. 21, after a federal judge rebuked the president’s legal team’s challenges in Pennsylvania. After that, he congratulated Biden and declared that he’d won.
Meanwhile, GOP Reps. Paul Gosar of Arizona and Mo Brooks of Alabama are the only members of their party to publicly insist Trump won the race.
The non-response to the survey contrasts with Democrats in 2016, when Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on the day after the election was called for Trump, took a call from him and shortly after issued a statement congratulating him as the president-elect, notes The Post.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell Tuesday said that the “future will take care of itself” and would not comment on the president’s claims of voter fraud.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., on Thursday said “let’s wait” to see who is sworn in before answering questions about executive orders Biden could issue in his first days in the Oval Office.
The Post said the non-reactions mirror how there have been just a few critics of Trump over the past four years, and said the silence leaves them standing alone while other federal, state, and local party members are rejecting the president’s claims.
The poll comes as Trump’s campaign has suffered losses in its quest to overturn results in several key states.
On election day Tilden led Hayes by more than 260,000 votes and appeared on the verge of winning an electoral college majority, having swept much of the South; he also won the border states and several states in the northeast, including his home state of New York, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, and New Jersey. However, three states were in doubt: Florida, Louisiana, and South Carolina, with 19 electoral votes among them. The status of one of Oregon’s three electors—which had already been given to Tilden—was also in question. Hayes and most of his associates were ready to concede when a New Hampshire Republican leader, William E. Chandler, observed that if Hayes were awarded every one of the doubtful votes, he would defeat Tilden 185–184. Both parties claimed victory in all three Southern states and sent teams of observers and lawyers into all three in hopes of influencing the official canvass.
The impasse continued into December, when the electors were to meet and cast their votes. When Congress convened on December 7, there were rival electoral reports, and, over the next six weeks, maneuvering and acrimony prevailed in Congress, and there were fears that another civil war might break out. On January 29, 1877, Congress created an Electoral Commission to break the deadlock. The commission was to have five members from the House of Representatives, five from the Senate, and five from the Supreme Court. As originally conceived, the commission was to comprise seven Democrats, seven Republicans, and one independent, the Supreme Court justiceDavid Davis. Davis refused to serve, however, after the Republican-controlled legislature of Illinois engineered to have him elected to the state’s vacant Senate seat, and Justice Joseph P. Bradley, a Republican, was named in his place by the other four justices.
While the commission was deliberating, Republican allies of Hayes engaged with moderate Southern Democrats in secret negotiations aimed at securing acquiescence to Hayes’s election. Although Bradley leaned toward Tilden’s claim in Florida, he was swayed to back Hayes, and thereafter every action by the Electoral Commission followed a strict 8–7 split in favour of the Republican claims. When the last issue was resolved after 4 am on March 2, Hayes was declared the winner, with a narrow 185–184 majority, and he was sworn in privately the following day (because March 4 was a Sunday, the public swearing in took place on March 5). Although the result was greeted with outrage and bitterness by some Northern Democrats, who dubbed Hayes “His Fraudulency,” Hayes was sworn in without incident. Southern Democrats, however, found relative contentment with the outcome, when, as president, Hayes promptly made good on the secret pledges made during the electoral dispute to withdraw federal troops from states still under military occupation and thus end the era of Reconstruction. Thereafter the Democrats came to dominate what became known as the “Solid South.”
