GOP Challenges Absentee Ballot Procedures in Advance of Georgia Runoff By Rick Moran

Republicans have fired a legal salvo against lax absentee ballot procedures in Georgia as the GOP seeks to make sure that all legal votes are counted — and illegal ones are left out.

The party has filed 3 lawsuits in federal court in advance of the January 5 Senate runoff elections, challenging signature verification procedures as well as the use of drop boxes to collect absentee ballots.

The suits have been filed despite hundreds of thousands of votes already cast in early voting and mail-in ballots.

Politico:

The net result of the suits, which are backed by a combination of local, state and national Republican Party organizations, would make successfully voting by mail harder in Georgia, which Republicans say is necessary to protect the security of the elections — and others claim is an attempt to suppress votes for Democratic candidates.

And Georgia isn’t the only state where Republicans will seek changes to absentee ballot laws.

The legal efforts are likely just the start of a yearlong push by state Republicans to tighten voting rules in response to the 2020 election, which prompted unsubstantiated claims of widespread fraud from Trump, his supporters and other GOP leaders who are convinced that the contest wasn’t fair. Republican lawmakers in Georgia, Michigan and Pennsylvania, among others, have already announced their intention to seek changes to state election laws next year in response to perceived irregularities, and Trump’s opposition to mail voting in 2020 — coupled with the way those late-counted ballots broke against him in some key states — has destroyed the decades-long bipartisan consensus on expanding the practice.

According to Politico, there have been 378,000 absentee ballots already returned while 846,000 ballots were mailed out. That’s slightly fewer than were returned prior to the general election. But Christmas is coming and voting will not be a high priority for most people.

KT McFarland Explains Why the Intelligence Report on the Election Is Being Delayed Katie Pavlich

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2020/12/17/kt-mcfarland-explains-why-the-intelligence-report-on-the-election-is-being-delayed-n2581739

Yesterday the Office of the Director of National Intelligence announced a report about foreign interference in the 2020 election will be delayed. Reportedly, there is a dispute about how much influence China had in the outcome.

During an interview with Fox News Wednesday night, former White House Deputy National Security Advisor KT McFarland gave her assessment about why the report is being delayed.

“That’s [the delay] pretty significant. What that means is there’s not uniform agreement within the intelligence community about whether there was or wasn’t Chinese influence and how much there was or wasn’t. I think you’ve got to assume that at least one part of our intelligence community thinks that there was major interference which is why there’s debate over this,” McFarland said. “Now, I suspect that when the report comes out, you know they always want to make these things sound like everybody agrees, well chances are not everybody does agree on this and what kind of influence and what kind of interruption it was. Was it something to do with cyber attacks? Was it something to do with the balloting? Was it something to do with influence peddling? Was it something to do with bots and kind of stirring the pot? All those things are a range of issues and I’m assuming these reason this is delayed because there’s probably something pretty explosive there.

Wisconsin Attorney: Evidence of 200,000 Votes Illegally Counted By Melina Wisecup

At a Senate hearing, Trump’s team raised allegations of hundreds of thousands of illegal ballots in Wisconsin.

The margin between Trump and Biden in Wisconsin is around 20,000 votes, but Trump’s lead attorney in the state says his team has evidence that around 200,000 votes were illegally counted. Some came from voters who claimed they were unable to go to the polls, saying they were “indefinitely confined.”

“Among those claiming this status is one of the electors for Joe Biden, who said, I can’t get to the polls. We have poll workers who claimed it. We have people who went to protest, people who had weddings, people who had vacations, all claimed this status, I can’t get to the polls. So they were able to vote without identification. There were 28,395 people we explicitly identified,” said James Troupis, lead attorney for Trump’s campaign in Wisconsin.

He says under Wisconsin law, voting in advance is not legal. But in one city, they were accepting ballots at least 5 weeks in advance.

“What did the city of Madison do? They created a system where people could arrive at a park, hand in their ballots in envelopes five weeks before the election. They also created boxes, no controls at all, just boxes on corners that you could throw the ballot in, no attempt at all. And our statutes explicitly say there are only two ways to submit an absentee ballot: in person or delivery to the clerk’s office. That’s it, nothing else is allowed,” said Troupis.

They identified 17,000 ballots that were illegally cast this way, and he says there’s likely more since the elections officials mixed all the ballots together afterward, making it hard to detect which ballots were cast in advance.

Troupis says there are other categories in which as many as 170,000 other ballots were submitted without any application at all.

Oblivious Biden Donald L. Finley

What kind of man must Joe Biden be to accept being illegitimately put into the Oval Office?

We’ve all seen the clips.  Nearly every recent Joe Biden public appearance has been an embarrassment.  The media called his garbled statements ‘gaffes,’ as if they were innocent, harmless mistakes, but many have suggested far worse age-related cognitive failures.  We experienced embarrassment with him, and pitied a man clearly past his prime.  What seemed most prominent about Joe Biden, other than his mental decline, was his obsession with one singular goal — to be president of the United States. 

He first ran for president in the 1988 presidential election.  He didn’t last until the first primary, being forced to drop out when caught in multiple lies about his background, his upbringing, his academic record, and for plagiarizing other politicians.  Twenty years later, he ran again in the 2008 presidential election, but dropped out after coming in fifth in the Iowa caucuses, with less than 1% of the vote.  He was later chosen as Barack Obama’s running mate.  

After eight years of office there, and four years out, he announced his run in the 2020 presidential election, where his plagiarism problem came up again as some of his policy positions were lifted verbatim from other organizations.  The blame was immediately deflected to his staff, and the scandal seemed not to touch him.

For most politicians, such scandals end careers, but Joe Biden outlasted the scandals, and remained in office for more than four decades, really only rising above the noise on three occasions.  

LOOKING AT THE FUTURE: PHILIP BYLER

I asked attorney Byler “What now?’ Philip Byler is a distinguished litigator and politically savvy.
This is his answer:
You asked me recently what do we do. A plan of action for the future is needed.
In formulating the plan of action for the future, the Doug Truax article at American Greatness about vote reform (https://amgreatness.com/2020/12/14/never-again/) is a must read. In the plan of action for the future, one step MUST be implementation of the vote reform agenda. Social gatherings of Republicans in support of the honest ballot initiative, like what I attended in New York put on by a well-intentioned Ed Cox, are nice, but they accomplish nothing by themselves. Actual legal change is needed. Otherwise, politics will be just a pretend game; it will not be substantively different than in radical socialist societies where votes are held but the Party of Government always wins.
As for some other elements of the plan of action for the future, part of the actual change effort as to voting must be to expose the 2020 vote fraud fully. In contrast to Trump’s massive crowds, Joe Biden could not attract a crowd when he did emerge from his basement and did not get 15 million more votes than did Hillary in 2016 and Obama in 2012. The exposure of the massive vote fraud will be necessary for there to be the demand that cannot be refused for actual legal change; and in order for there to be that exposure, we need an alternative TV media other than FOX and alternative social media platforms. We do not face a mainstream media and social media platforms that are hostile; we face a totalitarian media and totalitarian Big Tech running social media that are aiming to silence us.
Finally, as for an essential element of the plan of action for the future, President Trump must remain the leader. There are fine younger Republicans such as Cruz, Paul, Hawley, Nunes, Jordan and Crenshaw. But Trump is the only one who can summon crowds and the will of the People, which will be necessary to upend the Obama led effort to make America a radical socialist mediocrity. Trump is by far the highest and second highest vote getter for Republicans in Presidential elections in history, and he was cheated in 2020. The Republicans have no future as loser groups of self-centered, mealy mouthed RINOs, Establishment types and braying jackass Never Trumpers, and those groups need to be sidelined; they are clueless and about themselves. The Republicans have a future as the “We, the People,” “God Bless America,” free enterprise, pro-police, por life,pro-those who do the actual fighting military, anti-DC swamp party of heartland Americans wherever they live in America.

Peter Navarro releases 36-page report alleging election fraud ‘more than sufficient’ to swing victory to Trump by Andrew Mark Miller,

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/wh-adviser-navarro-releases-report-election-fraud-swing-victory-to-trump

Director of the Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy Peter Navarro published a lengthy report Thursday outlining several examples of voting irregularities that are “more than sufficient” to swing the outcome of the election in President Trump’s favor.

The 36-page report “assesses the fairness and integrity of the 2020 Presidential Election by examining six dimensions of alleged election irregularities across six key battleground states” and concludes that “patterns of election irregularities … are so consistent across the six battleground states that they suggest a coordinated strategy to, if not steal the election, strategically game the election process in such a way as to … unfairly tilt the playing field in favor of the Biden-Harris ticket.”

The six dimensions of voting irregularities in the report include: outright voter fraud, ballot mishandling, contestable process fouls, equal protection clause violations, voting machine irregularities, and significant statistical anomalies.

All six of those voting issues were present in at least two key states, according to the report, and a total of six battleground states experienced multiple examples of the other dimensions.

Mo Brooks: ‘Trump Won the Electoral College’ — I Can Be a Part of the ‘Surrender Caucus’ or I Can Fight for Our Country by Jeff Poor

https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2020/12/15/mo-brooks-trump-won-the-electoral-

Monday during an appearance on FBN’s “Lou Dobbs Tonight,” Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) vowed not to go down without a fight despite states having certified Electoral College results earlier in the day, which paved the way for Joe Biden to become the President-elect.

Brooks told host Lou Dobbs about his effort to challenge the Electoral College, which has happened as recently as 2017 after Donald Trump won the presidential election.

“Well, it’s happened many times in the past,” Brooks said. “Apparently, some folks have not done their history. By way of example, the Democrats in the House tried it in 2017 when they tried to strike Alabama’s votes for Donald Trump. Georgia, the same way, the House Democrats tried to strike it. Barbara Boxer tried to strike Ohio for George Bush back in 2005, so this is not unusual. The law is very clear, the House of Representatives in combination with the United States Senate has the lawful authority to accept or reject Electoral College vote submissions from states that have such flawed election systems that they’re not worthy of our trust.”

And in this instance, with what has happened nationally, I’m quite confident that if we only counted lawful votes cast by eligible American citizens, Donald Trump won the Electoral College, and we should not be counting illegal votes and putting in an illegitimate President of the United States.” he continued.

The Alabama Republican congressman also pledged not to be a part of what he deemed the “surrender caucus” with the GOP, adding that he needs a U.S. Senator to join his challenge to the Electoral College for it to be successful.

Americans can save the American election system By Rick Hayes

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

The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee chaired by Republican Senator Ron Johnson recently held a hearing on the evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

Trump’s lead attorney investigating voter fraud in Wisconsin, James Troupis, testified that the frustration his team faced was that the courts not only refused to hear the evidence, but were following the Biden campaign directive that election fraud, as a subject, was not be discussed.  Nevertheless, the former judge stated that his team found 200,000 invalid votes that were inappropriately counted.  Currently, Biden leads Trump by 20,000 votes in Wisconsin. 

Trump lawyer for Nevada’s election fraud investigation, Jesse Binnall, testified that through a detailed examination of voting records, his team found 42,000 people who voted more than once, 19,000 people who voted who did not live in Nevada, 8,000 people who voted not having an existing address, and 4,000 non-citizens who voted.  The lead counsel stated that the investigation team uncovered over 130,000 instances of clear voter fraud.  Currently, Biden leads Trump by 12,000 votes in Nevada.

Democrat ranking member Senator Gary Peters told the committee that hearing the witnesses’ testimony was a “destructive exercise that has no place in the U.S. Senate.”  Along with stating that he has seen no evidence of voter fraud, he said the entire matter was a source of Russian disinformation.

Listening to the comments of Senator Peters as well as other Democrat committee members, one inescapable fact must be seared into the minds of all Americans: Democrats and leftists are incapable of seeing the evidence of voter fraud pertaining to the 2020 presidential election. 

Does that mean that the evidence isn’t clear enough?  No.  Does that mean there isn’t enough evidence to overturn the election?  No!

The above statement proposes that because of the deep hatred for Trump and his “America first” policies, Democrats and leftists have become psychologically blinded to all presented evidence.  In their minds, it cannot and will not exist. 

Hail Joe Biden, Commander in Cheat Geoffrey Luck

https://quadrant.org.au/opinion/qed/2020/12/hail-joe-biden-commander-in-cheat/

The Australian media overall, and the ABC in particular, have disgraced themselves in their reporting of the US presidential election. Instead of reporting facts, or even asking questions, all the media has been contemptibly content in a rush to anoint Joe Biden as ‘president-elect’ when a more accurate appropriate term would have been “president-apparent.”

Instead of reporting that President Trump was challenging the outcome as a result of fraud, then following the steps he intended to take to substantiate his claim, reporters and commentators all rushed to delegitimise him by inserting “unproven”, “unsubstantiated” or “without evidence” into every article. In the case of US-based Associated Press, whose copy flows through to our own AAP, those qualifications appear to be official ‘ house style’, as newsrooms know the edicts and admonitions issued by senior editors and chief subs. How, now, will these disgraced scribblers cope with an independent scientific analysis that has determined the Dominion Voting machines in one Michigan country not only produced false results, but were actually designed to defraud.

That is sensational headline stuff, surely?

On Monday, December 14 (US time), the Allied Security Operations Group (ASOG) of Texas released its preliminary forensics report into the voting in Antrim County, Michigan, on behalf of a civil complainant, Bill Bailey. State Supreme Court Chief Justice Kevin Eisenheimer last week issued an order granting Bailey permission for an examination of the 22 Dominion tabulators used in the county’s election. Bailey was seeking an explanation for why thousands of votes for Trump had “flipped” to Biden – suspicious in a known Republican county.

A team of seven analysts from ASOG spent eight hours on December 6 examining the voting machines. The Group describes itself as professional with backgrounds in defence, the Secret Service, Homeland Security and the CIA. The signatory to the report, Russell Ramsland, has a political science degree and worked with NASA and the MIT.  The investigation, running to 23 pages, concludes:

The Dominion Voting System is intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create system fraud and influence election results. The system intentionally generates an enormously high number of ballot errors. The electronic ballots are then transferred for adjudication. The intentional errors lead to bulk adjudication with no oversight, no transparency and no audit trail. This leads to voter or election fraud. Based on  our study, we conclude that the Dominion Voting System should not be used in Michigan. We further conclude that the results of Antrim County should not have been certified.

With many Republicans accepting a fraudulent election, we now see who has the will to fight for America by JD Rucker

When the dust settles on the dawn of a second term for President Trump, we must remember who abandoned him—and America—in an effort to preserve their own careers.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is urging GOP Senators to accept Joe Biden as their next President. Newsmax has taken to calling Joe Biden the “President-Elect.” Many “conservative” news outlets have failed to expose blatant voter fraud while trying to salvage their credibility by ripping on Joe Biden’s fictional cabinet picks.

And it is fiction, folks. Joe Biden is not the President-Elect. His so-called “appointees” and “nominees” are nothing more then hypothetical bureaucrats in the event that they can maintain the illusion of an election victory until January 20th.

It’s unfortunate that we have to continue to hammer home the reality that this election is far from settled, that there are multiple avenues through which a righteous outcome can be realized before it truly is too late. It’s hard enough fighting mainstream media, Big Tech, and Democrat lies. It’s a whole different can of worms when conservatives tuck tail and start going along to get along.

Some say they fear a constitutional crisis. To those people, I say, “Look around.” THIS is a constitutional crisis. The very foundation of our republic is under attack from forces foreign and domestic. They have usurped the rule of law and our sovereignty as a nation by interfering in the proper and fair process through which we determine not just our president, but also our other representatives at every level. Any patriot who allows this travesty to reach its diabolical conclusion without giving every single ounce of effort imaginable to stop it is complicit. They have sworn an oath to defend the Constitution and they have failed.
