Does a surveillance video prove Georgia election fraud? By Andrea Widburg

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

Georgia’s Fulton County, the most populous in the state, claimed that it needed to stop absentee ballot overnight on November 3–4 because of a burst pipe.  That was a lie.  There was no burst pipe, and the counting didn’t stop.  At a hearing on Thursday, surveillance footage emerged showing that the ballots being secretly counted came from suitcases hidden under a table.

Here’s what seems to have happened: in Fulton County, Georgia, the people who planned to add fake ballots to Biden’s vote count on election night had an overall good plan.  First, announce that a burst pipe required everybody to vacate the building until morning, and, second, count fake votes.

The planners missed two details.  First, they forgot to make sure the government’s documents supported the “burst pipe” narrative.  Text messages emerged showing that nothing had burst.  Instead, there was a quickly contained slow leak that didn’t even generate a work order.

Second, they forgot that the State Farm Arena, where the counting took place, has surveillance cameras all over.  On Wednesday, intrepid volunteers obtained the videos from the surveillance cameras in the room in which the count took place and, by doing so, may have discovered the election fraud smoking gun.

I’m a Legislator in Pennsylvania, and I’m Suing the Governor for Election Fraud By Frank Ryan *****

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

Actions by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court and secretary of state in the 2020 general election were so fraught with inconsistencies, documented irregularities, and improprieties (see filing below) that the election results for the office of president of the United States cannot be determined.  The actions were so flagrant and egregious that I am a plaintiff in a case in the Commonwealth Court against Gov. Tom Wolf, et al. to seek relief.

The flawed processes associated with mail-in balloting, pre-canvassing, and canvassing have so undermined the election that only the in-person Election Day results have any semblance of validity.  Because the mail-in process was so fatally flawed, the results cannot be audited, which may have been the governor’s objective when he acted unilaterally to replace voting machines last year and demanded certain election reforms.

In any business or organization, internal controls are designed to deter wrongdoing.  Likewise, elections require reasonable controls to ensure that the results accurately reflect the will of the voters.  The system of controls over voting in Pennsylvania’s 2020 General Election were so deficient as to render the results of the mail-in ballot process incapable of being relied upon.  Therefore, the Legislature, of which I am a member, introduced a resolution declaring the results of statewide electoral contests in the 2020 general election in dispute.

Several actions led up to this.  In September, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overreached by extending the deadline for mail-in ballots to be received and mandating that ballots mailed without a postmark would be presumed to be received on time and could be accepted without a verified voter signature.

On Oct. 23, less than two weeks before the Nov. 3 general election, and at the request of the secretary of the commonwealth, the state Supreme Court ruled that signatures for mail-in ballots need not be authenticated, thereby treating in-person and mail-in voters dissimilarly and eliminating a critical safeguard against election crime.  In the same order, the court authorized the use of drop boxes for the collection of ballots, leaving them vulnerable to ballot-harvesting.

The Left Steals Elections and Countries One Vote at a Time Daniel Greenfield

https://www.frontpagemag.com/point/2020/12/left-steals-elections-and-countries-o

Let’s pull back a bit and talk about how the Left does things. 

The American Left of the last two generations is highly technocratic. It’s the product of a managerial class, in government and business, injected into the non-profit sector, fused in the last generation with the tech sector and its start-up culture. 

It’s evil and its members have a tendency toward hysteria and a blithe ignorance of consequences, but it’s not dumb.

Some of the richest men in America, including Warren Buffett, George Soros, and Bill Gates, can be called many things, but stupid isn’t one of them.

All of this means that the current Left executes strategies in a more focused and strategic manner than past generations. We’re well past the stage where it merely inflitrates. It’s been on the ground floor for a while now. It develops strategies in committees across different organizations, uses a start-up culture to audition and pick different approaches, with funders, often from the tech world, investing in various strategies and organizations being pitched to them.

Conservatives have tried to duplicate this to some degree, but have a fraction of the infrastructure and the organization.

Nevada ‘fraud’: 1,500 ‘dead’ voters, 42,248 voted ‘multiple times,’ RV camps as ‘homes’ by Paul Bedard

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/washington-secrets/nevada-fraud-1-500-dead-voters-42-248-voted-multiple-times-rv-camps-as-homes

The Trump campaign on Wednesday unveiled a tranche of information it plans to present to a Nevada state court Thursday that suggests there were thousands of fraudulent votes cast — possibly enough to overturn Joe Biden’s win there by 33,569 votes.

Officials said that among the evidence and expert testimony to be presented in Carson City are indications that over 1,500 ballots were cast by dead voters, that 42,248 people voted “multiple times,” data on a huge spike in incomplete voter registrations, and home addresses in temporary RV camps and casinos.

They also plan to present polling that 1% of Nevada voters shown to have voted never did and 2% of those shown to have voted by mail never got a ballot.

The legal team was quick to note that it has just begun to collect information and that fraud cases can sometimes take months to years to investigate.

Officials also added that they have been stonewalled by U.S. Postal Service and state and county officials in their efforts to review votes and registrations.

What’s Happening in US Election Matches What Happened in Venezuela, Expert Says By Gq Pan

https://www.theepochtimes.com/whats-happening-in-us-election-matches-what-happened-in-venezuela-expert-says_3605487.html?utm_source=news&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=breaking-2020-12-04-5

Irregularities that have taken place in this year’s U.S. presidential election are eerily similar to voting manipulation that helped Hugo Chávez stay in power in 2004, according to a senior former CIA official.

He described Chávez, who ruled Venezuela from 1999 until his death in 2013, as a “new kind of dictator.” Upon his taking power, Chávez revised the country’s constitution to increased the presidential term of office from five to six years, but also allowed people to call off his presidency in a referendum, which required 20 percent of signatures of all 11 million voters.

By 2003, opponents of Chávez managed to collect enough signatures to trigger a referendum. “That’s when he started to panic,” the former intelligence official—who is also an expert in Latin American politics and counterterrorism—told The Epoch Times. “So he started talking to a company called Indra, which is a Spanish company that runs elections.”

The technology used by Indra at that time, according to the expert, wasn’t “flexible” enough to do what Chávez wanted to do. He said that the regime then turned to Smartmatic, a company registered in Delaware and founded by three young Venezuelan engineers. After receiving a contract for $150 million to overhaul the country’s election system ahead of the 2004 referendum, Smartmatic bought machines from Italian lottery machine maker Olivetti.

Arizona legislature demands forensic exam of Dominion machines: ‘Voters believe fraud occurred’ by S.A. Miller

https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/dec/4/arizona-legislature-demands-forensic-exam-dominion/

The leaders of the Arizona State Legislature on Friday demanded an independent audit of the Dominion Voting Systems machines used in the Nov. 3 election.

They said voters’ suspicions of fraud in the presidential election deserved the government’s full attention.

The Trump campaign and its allies have accused the Dominion ballot scanners and vote tallying software of manipulating the vote in favor of presumed President-elect Joseph R. Biden.

“A significant number of voters believe that fraud occurred and with the number of irregularities it is easy to understand why,” said Arizona State House Majority Leader Petersen. “Especially concerning are the allegations made surrounding the vendor Dominion. It is imperative that the County immediately do a forensic audit on the Dominion software and equipment to make sure the results were accurate.”

Mr. Petersen and other leaders of the Republican-led legislature called for the forensic examination of the Dominion machines in Maricopa County, the state’s most populous county which includes Phoenix.

EXCERPT

The Trump Phenomenon

While the Republican establishment didn’t accept that the media would destroy any Republican, no matter how moderate, their base voters did. The voters had enough of conventional politicians looking the part and then selling them out with legislation that is exactly the opposite of what they wanted all the while seeking the hateful media’s approval. In a crowded field of solid Republican talent, newbie politician Donald J. Trump came to the fore. Many in the Tea Party wanted a fiscal conservative like Ted Cruz. And, in fact, Sen. Cruz won his home state. Even Cruz, though, couldn’t overcome Trump’s formidable abilities, the chief being his pugilistic interaction with the media. He, more than any other living Republican, knew both the cultural and political establishment and the media. Like most Americans outside the Beltway, he had little use for either.

Trump’s honest outrage at the political classes’ failures reflected the feelings of many Americans. Had the working class been destroyed? Yes. Had the middle class been abused and harmed? Yes. Had small business owners been frustrated, inhibited with regulations and taxation? Yes. Were corporations encouraged to move production overseas due to taxation, regulation, and rhetoric? Yes. Had stupid wars sapped America’s strength? Yes.

Trump laid bare their corruption for all to see. He knew their contempt and what they said behind closed doors. He knew the stupidity and mendacity of the media.

Many establishment Republicans, especially, think that Trump’s rhetoric is a ruse. They think that he postures at populism and is simply sloganeering to gain power for its own sake. They view him as an empty charlatan pretending and using the American people to feed his egotistical need to run things — America as his most recent business acquisition. They’re wrong, both about Trump and about the people he represents.

President Trump’s voters saw, for the first time, a Republican who kept his promises against a tsunami of opposition from the media, the Democrats, and, worst of all, his own party. Trump’s rhetorical and policy loyalty to his voters has garnered fanatical loyalty in return.

Lin Wood Is a Democrat Troll GOP voters must ignore his crazy advice to sit out January’s Senate runoff. David Catron

https://spectator.org/lin-wood-georgia-democrat/

Attorney Lin Wood appeared at an Atlanta press conference Wednesday wearing a red MAGA hat while imploring Georgia Republicans to do the dumbest thing they could possibly do in the state’s upcoming Senate election. He told them to boycott the January 5 runoff in which incumbent GOP Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler will face far-left challengers Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock. Wood’s advice is far worse than bad counsel. If Georgia Republicans follow Wood’s advice, the Democrats will gain majority control of the U.S. Senate, establish one-party rule in Washington, and begin destroying everything President Trump has accomplished.

This is why the president himself is traveling to Georgia to hold a rally on behalf of Sens. Perdue and Loeffler. It is why he has come out against the crazy boycott Wood has called for. Last Friday he tweeted, “No, the 2020 election was a total scam … but we must get out and help David and Kelly, two GREAT people. Otherwise we are playing right into the hands of some very sick people. I will be in Georgia on Saturday!” Moreover, as Fox reports, “Vice President Mike Pence is heading back to Georgia to rally in support of Republican Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler.” Why, then, is Lin Wood encouraging Republicans to do something so self-destructive? He’s a Democrat troll. As Breitbart points out:

Wood has long backed Democrats for federal office and especially for Georgia offices. Donations to Democrat Party politicians from Wood over a decade plus total more than $40,000, and span from as far back as 2004…. Wood has donated thousands and thousands of dollars to top Democrats like former President Barack Obama, who he gave $2,300 to in 2008…. In 2014, he donated $5,000 to state Sen. Jason Carter — a Democrat candidate for governor of Georgia.… In 2017, Wood gave a whopping $12,600 to Georgia Democrat gubernatorial candidate Stacey Evans.

Video from Election Night in Georgia Shows Suitcases of Ballots Being Pulled Out from Under a Table After Poll Watchers Were Sent Home By Debra Heine

https://amgreatness.com/2020/12/03/video-from-election-night-in-georgia-shows-suitcases-of-ballots-being-pulled-out-from-under-a-table-after-poll-watchers-were-sent-home/

Video footage from Fulton County, Georgia on Election night, shows suitcases filled with ballots being pulled out from under a table after supervisors had told poll workers to go home for the night. According to the video, four women stayed behind to keep counting votes.

The blockbuster surveillance video was presented during a hearing before the Georgia State Senate committee, where Rudy Giuliani, President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, presented his case to Georgia lawmakers.

Jacki Pick, an attorney assisting Trump’s legal team, said the highly suspicious activity took place at State Farm Arena, where absentee ballots and Military ballots were tabulated.

“We have the tape from first thing in the morning all the way to the close of the polls,” she said, adding that two Republican field organizers had been sent here to be observers.

“At no time,” she noted, “were they permitted to observe in any meaningful way.” Pick explained that the GOP observers were roped off all day with the media.

According to their affidavits, a poll worker—a woman with blond braids—announced at about 10:00 p.m. that they were done for the night and everyone needed to leave.  The GOP observers said in their affidavits that they were told counting would resume at 8:30 in the morning.

Pick said that after the press and poll watchers cleared out, four remaining election workers remained behind and continued counting and tabulating “well into the night.”

“They will continue counting, unobserved, unsupervised, not in public view—as your statute requires—until about 1:00 in the morning,” Pick said.

She explained that the reason they know the counting went on until 1:00 a.m. is because the GOP observers went to the tabulation center after they were forced to leave, and were told by a news crew that the counting had actually continued.
