Stacey Abrams’s Sister Refuses to Recuse from Voter Fraud Case, Blocks Purge By Brittany Bernstein

https://www.nationalreview.com/news/stacey-abrams-sister-refuses-to-recuse-from-voter-fraud-case-blocks-purge/

Two counties in Georgia will be required to undo a decision that removed more than 4,000 voters from the rolls before the January 5 U.S. Senate runoff elections, a federal judge ruled Monday.

Judge Leslie Abrams Gardner, the sister of former gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, found that the counties seemed to have improperly relied on unverified change-of-address data to invalidate the more than 4,000 registrations in Muscogee County and 150 registrations from Ben Hill County.

President-elect Joe Biden won Muscogee County in November, while President Trump carried Ben Hill County, according to Politico.

Majority Forward, a group led by Democratic Party attorney Marc Elias, filed the suit in response to a challenge to the voter registrations on December 14 after a local voter found that the registrations seemed to match U.S. Postal Service change-of-address records. The voter, Ralph Russell, said he believed that signified that the voters had moved out of Georgia, though Democrats argued that the postal data is not an adequate indicator that a voter has given up their local residence.

“I believe that each of the individuals named … as a result of registering their name and change of address to a location outside of Muscogee County, removed to another state with the intention of making the new state their residence,” Russell told the county board. “Thus, each individual has lost their residence in Muscogee County, and consequently, each individual is ineligible to vote in Muscogee County.”

The Guarantee Clause, The Electoral Count Act of 1887, The DNI Ratcliffe Report on Foreign Interference and VP Mike Pence

http://The Guarantee Clause, The Electoral Count Act of 1887, The DNI Ratcliffe Report on Foreign Interference and VP Mike Pence

Amid our national discussion and evidence of wide-spread mail-in ballot vote fraud; and considering the January 6th role of the Senate to certify the 2020 presidential election; and considering a report from Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, is forthcoming with previous assertions of “foreign interference”; and considering five states are sending dual sets of electors; there has been some discussion about “The Guarantee Clause” within the constitution and how it might uniquely apply to 2020.

Here’s the discussion as best I can explain it:

[Article IV – Sec.4] The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

“The Guarantee Clause” – “At its core, the Guarantee Clause provides for majority rule. A republican government is one in which the people govern through elections. This is the constant refrain of the Federalist Papers. Alexander Hamilton, for example, put it this way in The Federalist No. 57: “The elective mode of obtaining rulers is the characteristic policy of republican government.” [citation]  “The Clause requires the United States to prevent any state from imposing rule by monarchy, dictatorship, aristocracy, or permanent military rule, even through majority vote. Instead, governing by electoral processes is constitutionally required.”

Additionally, The Electoral Count Act or the Electoral Count Act of 1887 is a US federal law stating procedures for the counting of electoral votes by Congress following a presidential election. It was enacted in the aftermath of the disputed 1876 presidential election between Rutherford B Hayes and Samuel J Tilden. In that election, several states submitted competing slates of electors and a divided Congress was unable to resolve the deadlock. [citation]

Essentially, the Electoral Count Act (1887) requires states to complete their certification of electors to congress by a certain date.  The conversation prior to the November 2020 election surrounded whether the COVID pandemic would interfere with the deadlines for state elector certification given the massive numbers of ‘mail-in’ ballots; and whether the counting of them would break through the deadlines imposed by the Act.

A combination of The Guarantee Clause (constitution) and the Electoral Count Act of 1887 (law), establishes the framework for some to argue a fraudulent 2020 election result can successfully be challenged during congressional certification on January 6, 2021.  Thus five state legislatures -under Republican control- have sent dual-sets of electors to congress: Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Georgia and Pennsylvania.

Let us be clear… There is little framework for this type of constitutional issue. This is  uncharted territory, and consequently there is no body of law or case study upon which to apply a historic reference.   However, that said, the issue of Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, producing a report about foreign election interference could be a fulcrum issue upon which “The Guarantee Clause” of the constitution may apply.

Trump’s gambit By Larry Brandes

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/12/trumps_gambit.html

I have some very liberal friends who are absolutely giddy about Joe Biden’s potential presidency. Truth be told, they don’t love Biden and among themselves, behind closed doors and shuttered windows, in the dead of night, they quietly whisper that Biden has exceeded his expiration date. They know. Unfortunately, they have been conditioned by the media for four years to hate Trump with a white hot passion and now rejoice that he and his annoying tweets will soon be gone with the wind. 

The perfect storm of their hatred for Trump and malicious election fraud combined to give Sleepy Joe more votes than even Obama could muster.  That is some impressive cheating.  The church bells are ringing-evil Trump will be replaced and they don’t really care who is sitting behind the Resolute desk in the Oval Office on Jan. 21, 2021. The Democrats would have nominated Barabbas if it helped them facilitate the expulsion of Trump.   

Actually, I am profoundly sad for Joe.  At his advanced age and obviously suffering declining cognitive skills, Joe should be sitting on a beach in Hawaii, under an umbrella drinking a Pina Colada and enjoying the final chapter of his life.  Instead, the Democrats and the media dragged Joe across the finish line and think that he will occupy the Oval Office in January.  I think that their endgame is flawed because Trump’s king is still on the board and the game isn’t over.

Across America, seventy-four million, God-fearing, gun-loving, Bible-reading, deplorables are praying for a miracle.  At this point, a Deus ex machina (an unexpected power or event saving a seemingly hopeless situation) is what is desperately needed to save our Republic.  As Bonnie Tyler so eloquently sang, “Where have all the good men gone and where are all the Gods?” 

The good men at the FBI and DOJ were suspiciously AWOL, the Supremes took a hard pass, and even Bill Barr, Trump’s deputy sheriff, left his tin star on the Resolute desk with a post-it note that probably read, “Things are getting real. I didn’t sign up for this.”  

The evil creatures lurking in the shadows plotting to destroy America are now fighting for their political lives. These cowardly trolls hiding in the fetid Washington swamp have vowed to destroy our president and subsequently our nation by any means available. 

2020 Election: I’m not mad, I’m furious By Suburban Lawyer

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/12/2020_election_im_not_mad_im_furious.html

I am not mad about the massive election fraud. I am furious with the white-hot fury of a thousand suns. This Republic cannot long endure if its electoral system is thoroughly discredited by the widespread, and successful fraudulent schemes of big-city political machines in six swing states. It’s all out there in plain sight, no matter how hard the DemMedia tries to hide it.

Within a week after the election, the alarm was sounded. Larry Correia, novelist and retired accountant, asked on his website for a response from auditors and anti-fraud veterans to this question: “In your entire career, have you ever seen a case that threw up this many flags that DID NOT turn out to be fraud?” Over 50 people responded. All of them said with this many flags it was always fraud. 

The obvious response to these flags should have been for Republicans at the state level in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin to immediately seize the evidence to forestall a cover-up. Ballots and voting machines in eight big cities should have been seized by investigators and forensically examined by anti-fraud experts.

The only forensic audit of the Dominion Voting Systems was held in Antrim County, Michigan. The report found the machines were spitting out 68% of ballots as “in error” so that an “adjudication system” could reassign them to a candidate, chosen by a computer algorithm or by a human somewhere in the world connected (locally or remotely) to the system. Contrary to lies from Dominion, the voting machines were connected to the Internet. A whistleblower in Michigan testified to that in a legislative hearing. Read the report. That was just one of many ways Dominion cheated the system.

How can anyone ignore how vote counting was stopped in the middle of the night? In Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Georgia and Nevada officials mysteriously quit counting after midnight. Once that only happened in Cook County, Illinois. Now it’s all over the country. 

Ukraine press conference explicitly ties Hunter and Joe Biden to corruption By Andrea Widburg

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/12/ukraine_press_conference_explicitly_ties_hunter_and_joe_biden_to_corruption.html

A video from a press conference in Ukraine is going viral. It is the follow-up to a video press conference that Ukraine released over a year ago, in which Members of the Ukraine Parliament demanded that President Zelensky and President Trump investigate billions of dollars of corruption in Ukraine that is tied to the U.S. The newly released video is meant to provide documentary and eyewitness information about the corruption – and the Biden family figures prominently in the story.

The video is long – over an hour – and not all of it involves the Biden family. This post quotes those portions of the press conference that address Biden family corruption. The gist of it is that, while Democrats obsess about Trump’s purported criminality, despite the absence of any evidence, their chosen standard-bearer is extraordinarily corrupt.

Indeed, I would argue that Biden is one of the most corrupt politicians ever in America. In the past, corrupt politicians have confined themselves to playing dirty in their own back yard, making money from deals with fellow Americans.

I believe that Biden is the first person ever to serve in the highest reaches of government – the Senate and the Vice Presidency – who sold his country out to the highest foreign bidders. It’s an insult to everything America has stood for since its inception that massive election fraud might allow this person to set foot in the oval office.

With that intro, here’s the video, followed by quotations from the video regarding Joe and Hunter Biden. I recommend Nabu Leaks for more information, enlarged pictures of the relevant documents naming the Bidens, audios of phone calls between Biden and former President Poroshenko after Trump won the election, and the full transcript of the press conference.

Holding Strong in 2021 and Beyond By Rabbi Aryeh Spero

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/12/holding_strong_in_2021_and_beyond.html

“Most shocking of all was the brazen, in-your-face theft of the 2020 election by the Deep State, the media, and Democrat party.  Evidence has shown that the election was stolen from President Trump and given to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.  It was a betrayal of America and the American people.  It has made us wonder for the first time ever if America remains a place where we Americans determine who will be our officeholders and representatives. ”

This past year has been exceedingly difficult for many whose relatives and acquaintances unexpectedly passed away or became ill due to the worldwide COVID-19 plague.  Many “progressive” governors have in strongarm fashion exploited the situation for political power purposes, callously subduing our population. 

We watched as our cities and innocent people were violently attacked by Antifa and BLM, all the while being excused, justified, and even exalted by the media and opinion shapers.  American history, indeed Americanism itself, was maligned, the statues of our founding heroes toppled. It became fashionable to call for defunding the police and uprooting the last line of defense we citizens have against those who would severely harm us and damage our property.

Being white, or male, was indicted as a condition for guilt, and Israel and young Jewish students were maliciously attacked on campus and by academia as the latest target of the political and social left.  Left-wing anti-Semitism was pronounced, though rarely spotlighted or specifically condemned by establishment liberal Jewish organizations whose loyalty to left-wing causes most often overrides the security of American Jewry.

Most shocking of all was the brazen, in-your-face theft of the 2020 election by the Deep State, the media, and Democrat party.  Evidence has shown that the election was stolen from President Trump and given to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.  It was a betrayal of America and the American people.  It has made us wonder for the first time ever if America remains a place where we Americans determine who will be our officeholders and representatives. 

In the aftermath of this fraud, we daily are shocked as the institutions historically established to protect us from such blatant disregard of the law and Constitution have remained silent and shirk their responsibility when asked to intervene — be they state legislatures, the media, and even the courts. 

Throughout this turmoil, most patriotic conservatives have remained steadfast and vigorously engaged in the battle against those tyrannical and cynical forces intent on stripping us of our birthright.  After all, as I continually remind people: “It’s your country… fight for it.”

Georgia Lawmaker Jones Weighs Run to Be State’s Secretary of State By Li Hai

https://www.theepochtimes.com/vernon-jones-weighs-running-for-georgia-secretary-of-state_3635118.html

Georgia state Rep. Vernon Jones, a Democrat who is a supporter of President Donald Trump, indicated recently that he may be open to running for election in 2022 to be the state’s secretary of state.

“A lot of people have been urging me to run for Georgia’s Secretary of State,” Jones wrote on Twitter on Dec. 23.

“The people of Georgia deserve to have faith in the integrity of our elections again. It might just be time to help #DrainTheSwamp right here at home.”

Jones, a lifelong Democrat, delivered a speech at the Republican National Convention on Aug. 24, in support of Trump’s reelection.

He believes there was fraud during the general election in November.

“There are too many sworn affidavits, there are too many people who have felt like their rights have been infringed upon, their voting rights,” Jones told The Epoch Times during a rally in Washington on Dec. 12.

Trump referred to the current secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, as an “enemy of the people” and claimed that Georgia had a “fraudulent system” in late November.

Running the elections is one of the main responsibilities of a state’s secretary of state.

PA GOP: 2020 Election Numbers ‘Don’t Add Up,’ Certification of Presidential Results ‘In Error’ By Debra Heine

https://amgreatness.com/2020/12/28/pa-gop-2020-election-numbers-dont-add-up-certification-of-presidential-results-in-error/

A group of Republican Pennsylvania state lawmakers announced Monday that the certified results of the 2020 election for president in the Keystone State were off by more than 200,000 votes—more than twice the margin of Biden’s alleged victory.

The PA Republicans are now are questioning “how the results of the presidential election could possibly have been certified by Secretary of the Commonwealth Kathy Boockvar and Governor Tom Wolf,” according to PA State Rep. Russ Diamond.

A comparison of official county election results to the total number of voters who voted on November 3, 2020 as recorded by the Department of State shows that 6,962,607 total ballots were reported as being cast, while DoS/SURE system records indicate that only 6,760,230 total voters actually voted. Among the 6,962,607 total ballots cast, 6,931,060 total votes were counted in the presidential race, including all three candidates on the ballot and write-in candidates.

The difference of 202,377 more votes cast than voters voting, together with the 31,547 over- and under-votes in the presidential race, adds up to an alarming discrepancy of 170,830 votes, which is more than twice the reported statewide difference between the two major candidates for President of the United States. On November 24, 2020, Boockvar certified election results, and Wolf issued a certificate of ascertainment of presidential electors, stating that Vice President Joe Biden received 80,555 more votes than President Donald Trump.

The PA lawmakers who participated in performing the extensive analysis of election data were State Reps. Frank Ryan (R-Lebanon), Russ Diamond (Lebanon), Dave Zimmerman (R-Lancaster), Barb Gleim (R-Cumberland), Stephanie Borowicz (R-Centre/Clinton), Dan Moul (R-Adams), Paul Schemel (R-Franklin), Dawn Keefer (R-York/Cumberland), Eric Nelson (R-Westmoreland), Mike Jones (R-York), Rob Kauffman (R-Franklin), David Maloney (R-Berks), David Rowe (R-Snyder/Union), Kathy Rapp (R-Warren/Crawford/Forest), Daryl Metcalfe (R-Butler), Jim Cox (R-Berks/Lancaster) and Brett Miller (R-Lancaster).

Two Newly-Elected Progressives Decline to Say if They’ll Back Pelosi for Speaker By Brittany Bernstein

https://www.nationalreview.com/news/two-newly-elected-progressives-decline-to-say-if-theyll-back-pelosi-for-speaker/

Representative-elect Cori Bush (D., Mo.) and Representative-elect Jamaal Bowman (D., N.Y.), both of whom are progressives, declined to say Sunday if they will vote for Nancy Pelosi for Speaker.

“I am going to make sure that voices of the people of St. Louis are heard and we have what we need. And so you will find out then,” Bush said in an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Host Dana Bush then asked Bowman, who said, “You will find out when my vote is tallied and, again, organizing with our community to figure out what’s best.”

Bush beat out Representative William Lacy Clay Jr. in August before handily winning election in November. Bowman defeated longtime New York Representative Eliot Engel in the Democratic primary in July.

Pelosi is looking to serve her fourth two-year term as Speaker of the House, where Democrats hold a small majority after losing ten seats in the November election. Meanwhile, some Democrats will leave their posts to hold positions in the Biden administration.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has emerged as the de facto spokeswoman for House progressives, criticized her party’s leadership in an interview earlier this month for refusing to cede power to a new generation of lawmakers.

“I do think that we need new leadership in the Democratic Party,” Ocasio-Cortez said on The Intercept’s podcast Intercepted. However, there aren’t any alternative candidates for House leadership positions because the party didn’t invest in “real grooming of a next generation of leadership.”
