From Just The News November 19, 2020.

“In an extraordinary turnabout that foreshadows possible legal action, the two GOP members of Wayne County’s election board signed affidavits Wednesday night alleging they were bullied and misled into approving election results in Michigan’s largest metropolis and do not believe the votes should be certified until serious irregularities in Detroit votes are resolved.

The statements by Wayne County Board of Canvassers Chairwoman Monica Palmer and fellow GOP member William C. Hartmann rescinding their votes from a day earlier threw into question anew whether Michigan’s presidential vote currently favoring Democrat Joe Biden will be certified. They also signaled a possible legal confrontation ahead.

“I voted not to certify, and I still believe this vote should not be certified,” Hartmann said in his affidavits. “Until these questions are addressed, I remain opposed to certification of the Wayne County results.”

Added Palmer in her affidavit: “I rescind my prior vote to certify Wayne County elections.”

“Palmer and Hartmann said Wednesday they learned that state officials had reneged or would not honor the audit, leaving them no recourse but to oppose certification until more investigation could be performed.”

The entire William C Hartmann affidavit is deeply troubling.

Where is the USDOJ?

From the William C Hartmann affidavit.

“I am also concerned about the use of private monies directing local officials regarding the management of the elections, how those funds were used and whether such funds were used to pay election workers. I have not received answers to these questions, and I believe the people of Michigan deserve these answers. Can we release the logs to the tabulators demonstrating what happened in Detroit?

Trump Nevada lawsuit Electors Jesse Law et al v Judith Whitmer et al Nov 17, 2020, “The reliability of signature verification machines… has not been established”

“Since early voting started, there have been credible reports that voting machines in Clark County, Nevada are automatically checking Harry Reid’s name on the ballot”…GateWay Pundit 2010

“Shipp says the Democrats know they most likely will not win back the White House in the upcoming Presidential election. Shipp contends, “Their chance of winning in 2020, especially now with Trump’s success, is getting slim, and they are getting desperate. When they get desperate, and they have done this before, I think we can count on voter fraud. They are going to have to use it, and they have used it before. In any event, they have very little chance of winning now, in my view, because the majority of Americans find their platform distasteful. So, I think this (voter fraud) is going to happen.”…Kevin Shipp

“Trump Team Asks NV Courts to Declare Trump the Winner or Not Certify the State’s Vote for POTUS

The Trump campaign on Tuesday announced a new lawsuit in Nevada over the Agilis ballot processing and signature scanning machine that was used throughout the state. There are also allegations of observers being denied access to watch the ballot duplication process and the use of some outreach programs geared towards Native Americans that allegedly resulted in vote-buying.

According to the campaign, at least 40,000 votes were impacted, although that number could be higher.

Clark County register Joe Garcia acknowledged known problems with the voting tabulation system but said it couldn’t be remedied with a recount, the lawsuit stated.

“Even though election officials were warned about these dangers, they persisted in implementing an election plan devoid o protections that could have prevented or discouraged malfeasance from third parties,” the lawsuit stated. “Consequently, the fraud and abuse came with the election. This contest is the natural result, as evidence will show that the nature and scale of the fraud and abuse renders the purported results of the Nevada election illegitimate.”

Because the Nevada legislature decided to change the voting guidelines due to the Wuhan coronavirus pandemic, voters were mailed unsolicited ballots. According to the Trump campaign’s lawsuit, officials received multiple ballots from the same people, whether via mail, early voting or in-person on election Day. Instead of having adequate election officials to handle the signature verification process, Clark County relied on software verification programs.

“The reliability of signature verification machines to analyze mail-in ballots has not been established through scientific study and testing to a degree that warrants their use in elections,” the campaign stated in their lawsuit.”

Georgia election disturbing pattern emerges, Third county Walton ballots not counted, Poll workers or Dominion error/fraud?, Officials protecting themselves or Dominion?

Georgia election disturbing pattern emerges, Third county Walton ballots not counted, Poll workers or Dominion error/fraud?, Officials protecting themselves or Dominion?

“we did have a problem with one of the vote scanners.”…Tom Rees, chairman of Floyd County’s Board of Elections

“We discovered that these systems are subject to different types of unauthorized manipulation and potential fraud,”  “There is a reason that Texas rejected it,”...Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton

“It’s Massive, Criminal Voter Fraud! – It’s Going to Blow the Mind of Everyone In This Country!”...Attorney Sidney Powell on Dominion Voting Systems 

 

We now have a pattern in Georgia which meshes with a pattern in the US and possibly internationally.

As part of the Georgia recount, a third county, Walton, has found ballots that were not counted during the election process.

Georgia election officials have consistently blamed poll workers.

Why?

Who are they protecting?

Themselves and/or Dominion Voting Systems?

From the Walton Tribune November 17, 2020.

The audit of votes in the presidential race revealed missing votes in Walton County.

Two hundred eighty-four ballots were added from the Between precinct. They netted 176 votes for President Donald Trump.

The certified totals as of last week showed Trump, the Republican incumbent, with 37,617, or 74.03%, of 50,811 votes in Walton County.

But as of Tuesday afternoon, Trump’s local haul had risen to 37,842, or 74.06% of 51,095 votes.

Democratic nominee Joe Biden came in a distant second in Walton County at 12,682 votes, or 24.82%. He was at 12,633 after the certification last week.

Libertarian candidate Jo Jorgensen gained 10 votes. She finished at 571, or 1.12%.

Lori Wood, chairwoman of the Board of Election, said the Between precinct had two scanners.

“One of them got uploaded and another one didn’t,” she said.

I am not accusing anybody of anything but it is almost like Gabriel Sterling and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger received bribes or other incentives to purchase Dominion Voting Systems equipment in 2019 for over $ 100,000?

Their defense of the troubled election system is reminiscent of a Shakespeare quote.

From NewsMax November 17, 2020.

“Second Georgia County Finds Previously Uncounted Votes

A second Georgia county has uncovered a trove of votes not previously included in election results, but the additional votes won’t change the overall outcome of the presidential race, the secretary of state’s office said Tuesday.

A memory card that hadn’t been uploaded in Fayette County, just south of Atlanta, was discovered during a hand tally of the votes in the presidential race that stems from part of a legally mandated audit to ensure the new election machines counted the votes accurately, said Gabriel Sterling, a top official in the secretary of state’s office.

The memory card’s 2,755 votes are not enough to flip the lead in the state from Democrat Joe Biden to Republican President Donald Trump. The breakdown of the uncounted ballots was 1,577 for Trump, 1,128 for Biden, 43 for Libertarian Jo Jorgensen and seven write-ins, Sterling said.

Election officials on Monday said Floyd County, in north Georgia, had found more than 2,500 ballots that hadn’t been previously scanned.

Both counties will have to recertify their results, and the margin between Trump and Biden will be about 13,000 votes when those previously uncounted votes are accounted for, Sterling said.

County elections workers have been working on the hand tally since Friday. State law leaves it up to the secretary of state to choose which race to audit. Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger selected the presidential race and said the tight margin meant the audit would require a full hand recount.

The counties have until 11:59 p.m. Wednesday to complete the hand count. The secretary of state’s office originally said the results of the hand tally would be certified. But Sterling said Tuesday that the state would instead certify the results certified by the counties.”

Gabriel Sterling blamed poll workers in Floyd County for the uncounted ballots there.

“In a virtual press conference Sterling said the Floyd County ballots were not scanned properly. “It’ll change the margin by around 800 votes,” said Sterling. He called the issue a “human error.” ”

However, Tom Rees, chairman of Floyd County’s Board of Elections stated:

“we did have a problem with one of the vote scanners.”

All errors are human errors.

That includes the humans who design, create and implement computer systems as well as those who use them.

All organization problems are management problems.

The State of Georgia purchased the Dominion Voting Systems election system in 2019.

That sounds like a Management problem.

Is that why they are trying to put the blame on Floyd County poll workers?

From CBS 46.

“On Monday evening Georgia Secretary of State’s Office election official Gabriel Sterling announced 2,600 ballots were not counted during the 2020 election.

In a virtual press conference Sterling said the Floyd County ballots were not scanned properly. “It’ll change the margin by around 800 votes,” said Sterling. He called the issue a “human error.” ”

From MSN.

“Gabriel Sterling, the state’s voting system implementation manager, told reporters during a virtual news conference on Monday that the blunder in Floyd County was the only such incident of its kind discovered during the statewide audit thus far.

“It looks like it was half of an early vote box, essentially, that did not get uploaded into their election night recording system,” Sterling said. “It’s unfortunate, but it’s not an equipment issue–it’s a person not executing their job properly.”

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has called upon the Floyd County elections director to step down in light of the discovery, Sterling said. “This was too important of an issue to be allowed to happen this way,” Sterling said.

The addition of those previously untallied ballots resulted in an approximately 800-vote gain for President Donald Trump in Georgia, Sterling said. That gain alone will not be enough for Trump to overtake President-elect Joe Biden, who led Trump by approximately 14,000 votes in the state before the unscanned Floyd County votes were discovered.

Sterling said an elections investigator has been sent to Floyd County to determine how the mishap occurred.

“They had these ballots in their ballot manifests,” Sterling said of Floyd County. “They had them there, and they were counted in the audit. When they finished the audit, they had, like, 41,000 votes. On the election night reporting, they only had 38,000 votes. And that’s how it was discovered.”

Tom Rees, the chairman of Floyd County’s Board of Elections, told Newsweek that county election officials scanned all ballots during the initial vote count.

“Our audit total completed Saturday did show an increase of about 2,600 more ballots than what was reported on election night,” Rees told Newsweek. “We did scan everything on Election Day so these are not extra ballots.

“We are working with a Dominion rep to try to find out what caused this discrepancy,” Rees said, referring to the company that operates voting machines used in Georgia and in 27 other states across the country. “We have narrowed it down to one early voting location where we did have a problem with one of the vote scanners. We will go at it again tomorrow and hopefully find where the problem is.”

Sterling said state election officials were “perturbed” when they learned of the uncounted ballots. “There is no good explanation as to why you wouldn’t upload those numbers, other than just gross incompetence,” he said.”

It seems to me that the gross incompetence was the State Of Georgia purchasing Dominion Voting Systems just a few months after Texas tested it for the third time and rejected it.

From above.

Arizona election update Nov 14, 2020, 19.5k less senate than president votes, 42k just Biden?, Dominion mish mash, Sidney Powell to release the Kraken 

Arizona election update Nov 14, 2020, 19.5k less senate than president votes, 42k just Biden?, Dominion mish mash, Sidney Powell to release the Kraken

“.@realDonaldTrump has made it abundantly clear he’s more interested in pandering to his neo-nazi base than being @POTUS for all Americans.”…Katie Hobbs Arizona Secretary of State

“Attorney Sidney Powell 42k ballots in Arizona with only Joe Biden selected on ballots”…Maria Bartiroma show

“Mantra of the left: The end justifies the means.”…Citizen Wells

 

First consider the following:

President Trump and Joe Biden are separated by .32%.

Attorney Sidney Powell on November 8, 2020 stated there were 42k ballots in Arizona  with only Biden selected.

Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs tweeted the following on August 15, 2017:

“.@realDonaldTrump has made it abundantly clear he’s more interested in pandering to his neo-nazi base than being @POTUS for all Americans.”

NOW THE FOLLOWING.

Not only is Arizona using Dominion election hardware and software, they have a mish mash that would be troubling under the most honest and professional circumstances.

https://citizenwells.com/2020/11/12/arizona-voting-machines-tabulators-analysis-and-controversies-hardware-software-procedures-security-trump-lawsuit-exposes-and-questions-procedures/

From Citizen Wells November 13, 2020.

“Arizona’s mandated “hand count audit” is practically worthless.

It selects 2% of ballots by county from the “universe” of ballots that it received and kept and all that it effectively proves is that the tabulators function the same way as during the initial count.”

“An examination of the Maricopa County ‘audit” raises a least one red flag.

The difference between the presidential and senate votes.

President votes:  2,894

Senator votes:   2,678

A difference of 216.

Taking this 2% to 100% of the county the total difference for the county is

10,800.

That is the approximate current Biden lead.”

From the count this morning, there are actually 19,522 more presidential than senate votes in Maricopa County alone.

Are these some of the Biden only ballots Sidney Powell referred to?

Attorney Sidney Powell on the Lou Dobbs last night said:

“I’m going to RELEASE THE KRAKEN”

From RT.com November 14, 2020.

“‘I’m going to RELEASE THE KRAKEN’: Michael Flynn’s attorney vows to expose Dem collusion behind prominent voting machine firm
Republican attorney Sidney Powell has vowed to “expose every one of” the officials who helped allegedly steal the 2020 election for Democrat Joe Biden, claiming voting machine maker Dominion Voting Systems facilitated the theft.

Powell, who is representing former Trump National Security Advisor Michael Flynn in his Russiagate-spawned legal battle, leveled her own allegations of foreign collusion and election meddling on Fox News’ Lou Dobbs Tonight show on Friday. Threatening those responsible with a “new American revolution,” she called for a sweeping probe into what she described as a longstanding pattern of election interference.

Claiming Dominion Voting Systems, one of the largest makers of voting machines for the US, “was created to produce altered voting results in Venezuela for [socialist leader] Hugo Chavez,” Powell argued that the system – which she said was funded by Cuba and China as well as Caracas – is little more than an election-fixing operation.

Dominion has “been used all over the world to defy the will of people who wanted freedom,” she declared.

President Trump won this election in a landslide. It’s going to be irrefutable.

“Patriots are coming forward all day every day” with “statistical evidence that shows just hundreds of thousands of votes being put in and replicated” to swing the vote to Biden, Powell said, suggesting Big Tech and the media establishment had finished the job by covering up for Dominion and its political cronies.”

Arizona’s mandated “hand count audit” is practically worthless.

It selects 2% of ballots by county from the “universe” of ballots that it received and kept and all that it effectively proves is that the tabulators function the same way as during the initial count.

The real questions are:

  1. How many ballots were not delivered at all or by the cutoff date?
  2. How many ballots were fraudulent?
  3. How many ballots were rejected by improper processing?
  4. How many ballots had only Biden selected & thus suspect?
  5. How many votes were misrepresented by humans?
  6. How many ballots were processed that were ineligible?

Etc, etc.

An examination of the Arizona State Hand Count Audits page raises questions that will be left to the reader for the moment.

https://azsos.gov/node/1247

An examination of the Maricopa County ‘audit” raises a least one red flag.

The difference between the presidential and senate votes.

Coincidence?

Is this part of the 42k ballots with only Biden selected Sidney Powell found?

“That wouldn’t be much of a shock for someone who lists her pronouns in her Twitter bio along with her support for Black Lives Matter, but given that Hobbs is now instrumental in the Arizona voting process, Trump supporters are understandably concerned.

Under a best case scenario this type of audit will not catch all errors and fraud.

Given the extreme bias of Katie Hobbs I question even the authenticity of this audit.

We know for a fact that the Dominion hardware, software and procedures are flawed and after 3 tests by the state of Texas, they replaced Dominion.

From Citizen Wells November 12, 2020.

“From Matt Morgan, Trump 2020 campaign’s general counsel.

“Poll workers struggled to operate the new voting machines in Maricopa County, and improperly pressed and told voters to press a green button to override significant errors,”

“The result is that the voting machines disregarded votes cast by voters in person on Election Day in Maricopa County.””

Given that the current vote spread in AZ is .34% with the proven bias and documented voter fraud and irregularities, an outside audit and investigation will be required.

Electoral college electors meet today December 19, 2016 to vote for president and vice president, Six Certificates of Vote paired with six Certificates of Ascertainment, January 6, 2017 congress meets to count and certify electoral votes

Electoral college electors meet today December 19, 2016 to vote for president and vice president, Six Certificates of Vote paired with six Certificates of Ascertainment, January 6, 2017 congress meets to count and certify electoral votes

“”My good friend Ann here actually got some sort of irritant in one of the letter. My son had his car vandalized,” said Mike Delk, President of the NC Electoral College. “Other people have received threats, attempted bribes.”

But the electors say they are not swayed by these actions. All 15 said they will cast their votes for Trump which will go toward the 270 elector votes required. Trump’s nationwide total is 306.

The members said they have a message for those protesting the results.

“It really shows a lack of understanding of our democracy,” said Dr. Glenn Pinckney, Secretary of the NC Electoral College. “It shows an honest lack and disrespect.””…WTVD

“We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.”…Abraham Lincoln

 

From the US Electoral College.

THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

“December 19, 2016

The Electors meet in their state and vote for President and Vice President on separate ballots. The electors record their votes on six “Certificates of Vote,” which are paired with the six remaining Certificates of Ascertainment.

The electors sign, seal, and certify six sets of electoral votes. A set of electoral votes consists of one Certificate of Ascertainment and one Certificate of Vote. These are distributed immediately as follows:

  • one set to the President of the Senate (the Vice President) for the official count of the electoral votes in January;
  • two packages to the Secretary of State in the state where the electors met—one is an archival set that becomes part of the public record of the Secretary of State’s office and the other is a reserve set that is subject to the call of the President of the Senate to replace missing or incomplete electoral votes;
  • two packages to the Archivist—one is an archival set that becomes part of the permanent collection at the National Archives and Records Administration and the other is a reserve set that is subject to the call of the President of the Senate to replace missing or incomplete electoral votes; and
  • one set to the presiding judge in the district where the Electors met—this is also a reserve set that is subject to the call of the President of the Senate to replace missing or incomplete electoral votes.

December 28, 2016

Electoral votes (the Certificates of Vote) must be received by the President of the Senate and the Archivist no later than nine days after the meeting of the electors. States face no legal penalty for failure to comply.

If votes are lost or delayed, the Archivist may take extraordinary measures to retrieve duplicate originals.

On or Before January 3, 2017

The Archivist and/or representatives from the Office of the Federal Register meet with the Secretary of the Senate and the Clerk of the House in late December or early January. This is, in part, a ceremonial occasion. Informal meetings may take place earlier.

January 6, 2017

The Congress meets in joint session to count the electoral votes. Congress may pass a law to change this date.

The Vice President, as President of the Senate, presides over the count and announces the results of the Electoral College vote. The President of the Senate then declares which persons, if any, have been elected President and Vice President of the United States.

If a State submits conflicting sets of electoral votes to Congress, the two Houses acting concurrently may accept or reject the votes. If they do not concur, the votes of the electors certified by the Governor of the State on the Certificate of Ascertainment would be counted in Congress.

If no Presidential candidate wins 270 or more electoral votes, a majority, the 12th Amendment to the Constitution provides for the House of Representatives to decide the Presidential election. If necessary the House would elect the President by majority vote, choosing from the three candidates who received the greatest number of electoral votes. The vote would be taken by state, with each state having one vote.

If no Vice Presidential candidate wins 270 or more electoral votes, a majority, the 12th Amendment provides for the Senate to elect the Vice President. If necessary, the Senate would elect the Vice President by majority vote, choosing from the two candidates who received the greatest number of electoral votes.

“If This Story Gets Out, We Are Screwed”…Wikileaks: Doug Band to John Podesta

“James Comey’s decision to revive the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s email server and her handling of classified material came after he could no longer resist mounting pressure by mutinous agents in the FBI, including some of his top deputies, according to a source close to the embattled FBI director.”…Daily Mail October 30, 2016

“John Podesta’s Best Friend At The DOJ Will Be In Charge Of The DOJ’s Probe Into Huma Abedin Emails”

“Now that the FBI has obtained the needed warrant to start poring over the 650,000 or so emails uncovered in Anthony Weiner’s notebook, among which thousands of emails sent from Huma Abedin using Hillary Clinton’s personal server, moments ago the Us Justice Department decided to also finally join the probe, and as AP reported moments ago, it vowed to dedicate all needed resources to quickly review the over half a million emails in the Clinton case.

BREAKING: Justice Dept. says it’ll dedicate all needed resources to quickly review emails in Clinton case.

In the letter to Congress, the DOJ writes that it “will continue to work closely with the FBI and together, dedicate all necessary resources and take appropriate steps as expeditiously as possible,” assistant attorney General Peter J. Kadzik writes in letters to House and Senate lawmakers.”

“In other words, the best friend of John Podesta, Clinton’s Campaign char, at the DOJ will be in charge of a probe that could potentially sink Hillary Clinton.

For those who missed it, this is what we reported:

The day after Hillary Clinton testified in front of the House Select Committee on Benghazi last October, John Podesta, Hillary’s campaign chairman met for dinner with a small group of well-connected friends, including Peter Kadzik, who is currently a top official at the US Justice Department serving as Assistant Attorney General for Legislative Affairs.

 

The post-Benghazi dinner was attended by Podesta, Kadzik, superlobbyist Vincent Roberti and other well-placed Beltway fixtures. The first mention of personal contact between Podesta and Kadzik in the Wikileaks dump is in an Oct. 23, 2015 email sent out by Vincent Roberti, a lobbyist who is close to Podesta and his superlobbyist brother, Tony Podesta. In it, Roberti refers to a dinner reservation at Posto, a Washington D.C. restaurant.  The dinner was set for 7:30 that evening, just one day after Clinton gave 11 hours of testimony to the Benghazi Committee.

 

Podesta and Kadzik met several months later for dinner at Podesta’s home, another email shows. Another email sent on May 5, 2015, Kadzik’s son asked Podesta for a job on the Clinton campaign.

As the Daily Caller noted, the dinner arrangement “is just the latest example of an apparent conflict of interest between the Clinton campaign and the federal agency charged with investigating the former secretary of state’s email practices.” As one former U.S. Attorney tells told the DC, the exchanges are another example of the Clinton campaign’s “cozy relationship” with the Obama Justice Department.

The hacked emails confirm that Podesta and Kadzik were in frequent contact. In one email from January, Kadzik and Podesta, who were classmates at Georgetown Law School in the 1970s, discussed plans to celebrate Podesta’s birthday. And in another sent last May, Kadzik’s son emailed Podesta asking for a job on the Clinton campaign.

“The political appointees in the Obama administration, especially in the Department of Justice, appear to be very partisan in nature and I don’t think had clean hands when it comes to the investigation of the private email server,” says Matthew Whitaker, the executive director of the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, a government watchdog group.

“It’s the kind of thing the American people are frustrated about is that the politically powerful have insider access and have these kind of relationships that ultimately appear to always break to the benefit of Hillary Clinton,” he added, comparing the Podesta-Kadzik meetings to the revelation that Attorney General Loretta Lynch met in private with Bill Clinton at the airport in Phoenix days before the FBI and DOJ investigating Hillary Clinton.”
