It’s easy to find articles claiming that there was no election fraud, or that it was “not widespread,” or that it was not enough to “make a difference.” It is less easy to find some of the actual complaints and allegations, unfiltered and undistorted. 

Here is a (fairly) complete list of (some of) the most significant claims involving 2020 election miscounting, errors or fraud.

Please note that this resource lists allegations. It is intended neither to validate nor disprove any particular claim. The information and links help provide counterpoints to widespread, one-sided media reporting so that you can research and make your own judgements. All elections officials accused of improper counting or fraud have denied any improprieties.

The legislatures of Pennsylvania, Michigan and Arizona are holding public hearings on election fraud issues.

Judge Schedules Hearing in High-Profile Georgia Election Case Zachary Stieber

https://www.theepochtimes.com/judge-schedules-hearing-in-high-profile-georgia-election-case_3598574.html?utm_source=news&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=breaking-2020-11-30-2

The judge who ordered Georgia officials on Sunday not to wipe or reset voting machines has scheduled the next hearing in the case for Friday.

U.S. District Judge Timothy Batten Sr., a George W. Bush appointee, issued three emergency orders on Sunday, initially ordering officials to hold off on taking action regarding the machines before reversing his order and then re-establishing the first order.

In a Nov. 30 order, Batten said his final decision on Sunday partially granting the defendants’ motion “involves a controlling question of law as to which there is substantial ground for difference of opinion and that an immediate appeal from the order may materially advance the ultimate termination of the litigation.”

The order enables defendants to appeal the temporary ruling to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Defendants were ordered to file their brief by Dec. 2 while any reply brief will be due Dec. 3.

In a third filing, defendants said Charlene McGowan, Georgia’s assistant attorney general, will be appearing on behalf of the defendants, which include Gov. Brian Kemp, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, and state Election Board members.

A spokeswoman for the office of Attorney General Chris Carr told The Epoch Times via email that the office is unable to comment on legal proceedings outside of court filings.

The plaintiffs are represented by attorney Sidney Powell. They successfully convinced Batten on Sunday to bar officials in three counties from wiping or resetting Dominion Voting Systems machines.

There’s been lots of analysis of the Edison JSON live data feeds on election night showing vote decreases and switches.

A Gateway Pundit reporter, who works in media, found several examples of switched votes that were broadcast live on TV.The videos are clipped and explained in these links for findings in 4 states, so far.

CIA cyber-crime expert: Hundreds of thousands of votes flipped to Biden N.Y. Times reported analyst regarded as ‘always the smartest person in the room’

https://www.wnd.com/2020/11/4873267/

A cyber-crime expert who recently was praised by the New York Times declared in a sworn affidavit in a Sidney Powell lawsuit that hundreds of thousands votes were shifted from President Trump to Joe Biden in battleground states.

Navid Keshavarz-Nia, the Times said in September in a glowing report, was regarded by those who worked with him as “always the smartest person in the room.”

His expertise in big-data architecture, cloud computing, security and blockchain technology has been used by the CIA, the FBI, the National Security Agency, U.S. military counterintelligence and the Department of Homeland Security.

A vice president and senior director of information security for Black Key Solutions LLC, he also has been deployed by corporate financial giants such as Deutsche Bank.

His affidavit was filed with Powell’s complaint late Wednesday in a Georgia court, the Gateway Pundit reported.

“I conclude with high confidence that the election 2020 data were altered in all battleground states resulting in a hundreds of thousands of votes that were cast for President Trump to be transferred to Vice President Biden,” he wrote.

The alterations, he added, resulted from widespread vulnerabilities in voting software and systems that allowed a “Man-in-the-Middle cyber attack” by covert operators.

Is the FBI Finally Looking Into Voter Fraud?

A tidal wave of reports over alleged voter fraud and other irregularities in the 2020 election cycle should keep FBI investigators busy for the foreseeable future, that is if FBI Director Christopher Wray’s investigators care to look. 

The FBI has been accused of turning a blind eye as hundreds of witnesses step forward and mountains of evidence pile up suggesting a lot of funny business took place during the Nov. 3 election. But could that be changing? 

Matt Braynard, a former data chief and strategist for the Trump campaign, and his team at The Voter Integrity Project have conducted a review of ballot and election results in the 2020 election. Braynard went through his team’s work in a recent video, revealing the troubling findings his team uncovered in the course of their research.

Braynard now says the FBI has reached out to him and his team asking for them to hand over evidence underlying their findings. 

No Refunds Progressive Democrats might have deposed President Trump, but in return will get little more than the muscular meddling of American adventurism in the Middle East, and domestic stalemate. By Christopher Gage

In his Minneapolis Southwest High School senior yearbook, fellow students named Jake Sullivan, Joe Biden’s pick for national security advisor, “most likely to succeed.”

At 43, the wonkish Sullivan is the youngest in decades to serve as head of America’s national security—a pressure for which, a former schoolmate assures, Sullivan is worthy. 

Speaking to Minneapolis local media, Katy Sen recalled her English teacher’s revelation that only one of her earlier students could write a paper first time and without error, while his peers had to re-write their drafts—Jake Sullivan. 

Ms. Sen remembers Sullivan, one year her senior: “He’s just somebody that can handle pressure,” she said. “He just picks up on things quickly, and I think he just has this strong commitment to public service.” 

Sullivan has degrees in politics from Yale, and Oxford. At Yale Law, he edited the Yale Law Journal. Hillary Clinton, with whom he travelled to 112 countries, calls him “discreet, earnest, and brilliant.” 

A deputy chief of staff at the State Department under Obama, Sullivan climbed to then-Vice President Biden’s national security advisor, and now rests U.S. foreign policy on his shoulders. 

Like his prospective colleague, Tony Blinken, Biden’s secretary of state, Sullivan threads his hawkish tendencies with the prospects of middle-class Americans, but only insofar as he consults their opinions, and concludes their interests entwine with his own. 

Sullivan’s fundamental belief is that the interests of the American middle class are umbilical to a U.S. foreign policy in which America returns to the Obama era of “liberal interventionism.”

Not Only Aren’t Republicans Reversing the 2020 Disaster, It’s Already Being Repeated Daniel Greenfield

If you like your ballot harvesting fraud, you can keep your ballot harvesting fraud.

Absentee ballot drop boxes, used for the first time in 2020 in Georgia, will be in place for the January runoff as well.

The State Election Board extended the emergency rule regarding drop boxes to cover the Jan. 5 runoff. It also extended the rule permitting counties to begin processing absentee ballots two weeks prior to Election Day, and actually mandated that counties begin doing so one week before the election.

Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger says he hopes this will help reduce the backlog of absentee ballot processing that counties face on Election Day and the days after.

Sure. Why not?

The drop boxes were a wonderful backdoor for ballot harvesting. That’s one of the places that all those ballots came from.

The media is doing glowing profiles of Brad Raffensperger which, these days, only means one thing. The only reason a Republican ever gets glowing profiles is because he’s serving the media’s interests. And those are the interests of the Left and the political party they’ve taken over as a zombie institution. The media has conveniently buried all the old attacks on Raffensperger, back when Stacey Abrams and Fair Fight Action were hammering him on a daily basis.

And the same fraud machine is preparing to roll out.

A record number of absentee ballots are reportedly being requested for Georgia’s crucial Senate runoff races after the nation already broke records on mail-in voting for the Nov. 3 elections.

More than 762,000 absentee ballots have already been requested in the Peach State, according to WSB-TV, triple the amount of ballots requested in all of the state’s elections in 2018. 

So it’s happening again before our very eyes.

Understanding the head-spinning series of court orders in Georgia By Andrea Widburg

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/11/understanding_the_headspinning_series_of_court_orders_in_georgia.html

If you’re wondering what happened in Georgia on Sunday, you’re not alone. A federal district court issued three different orders about county officials’ plans to wipe Dominion voting machines. Thankfully, the last order gets it right and stops Georgia officials from erasing information on voting machines at the heart of the debate about election fraud.

Word went out that Georgia officials were wiping Dominion voting machines in Fulton County, ostensibly to prepare them for the run-off election, which is more than a month away. In Coreco Ja’qan Pearson, et al. v. Brian Kemp, et al., a lawsuit seeking to stop Georgia from certifying the election, the plaintiffs filed an emergency request for injunctive relief to stop the deletions.

Judge Timothy C. Batten, Sr. issued an order stopping Union County officials from wiping voting machines:

In addition, Plaintiffs contend that Union County officials have advised that they are going to wipe or reset the voting machines of all data and bring the count back to zero on Monday, November 30. To the extent Plaintiffs seek a temporary restraining order to preserve the voting machines of the State of Georgia, and to prevent any wiping of data, their motion is granted. Defendants are ordered to maintain the status quo and are temporarily enjoined from wiping or resetting any voting machines in the State of Georgia until further order of the Court.

Venezuela’s Guide to Election Theft Americans have a legal path when a vote is disputed. Chávez denied all recourse. Mary Anastasia O’Grady

“Venezuelans never got their day in court, but Americans still get theirs. In the interest of securing the confidence of the electorate, court challenges ought to be allowed to play out.”

On Wednesday six plaintiffs filed a civil action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia against Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, the secretary of state and four others. The complaint alleges “massive election fraud” to help Joe Biden win the Nov. 3 election for president.

It further alleges “the fraud was executed by many means, but the most fundamentally troubling, insidious, and egregious is the systemic adaptation of old-fashioned ‘ballot-stuffing.’ ” This was “amplified and rendered virtually invisible by computer software created and run by domestic and foreign actors for that very purpose.”

The plaintiffs want Georgia to decertify the election. The 104-page complaint is now before the federal court, which will review the material presented and make a ruling.

Central to the argument against the governor and his associates is the claim that software used by Georgia was developed by Hugo Chávez—who died in 2013—to steal elections in Venezuela. Critics are dismissing this as a fantastic conspiracy theory. But they should instead welcome and help to air it.

Plaintiffs have collected affidavits, board-of-elections records, and other documentary evidence and under the law they are entitled access to the courts to present their grievances. Far from undermining American democracy, this demonstrates its strengths—and sets it apart from the likes of Venezuela, where elections are stolen with impunity.

FBI Requests Fraud, Disenfranchisement Evidence, Researcher Says By Petr Svab

https://www.theepochtimes.com/fbi-requests-fraud-disenfranchisement-evidence-res

The FBI has reached out to an election integrity researcher for evidence of potential crimes in the 2020 election, according to the researcher, who is also a former Trump campaign official.

The evidence was collected by the Voter Integrity Project (VIP) led by Matt Braynard, former data and strategy director for President Donald Trump’s 2016 election campaign.

“The @FBI has proactively and directly requested from me the VIP findings that indicates illegal ballots,” Braynard said in a Nov. 29 tweet.

“By Tuesday, we will have delivered to the agency all of our data, including names, addresses, phone numbers, etc.”

His account was backed by the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society, a conservative nonprofit that says it retained Braynard to conduct the work.

“We’ve learned that Mr. Braynard was contacted by FBI Special Agent Young Oh of the FBI Los Angeles Field Office seeking our data. Mr. Braynard is fully cooperating with this request and we fully support him,” said a statement posted on Twitter by the project’s director, former Kansas Attorney General Phillip Kline, on Nov. 29.

“This data has been used to identify hundreds of thousands of potentially fraudulent ballots in the states where we filed litigation.”

An FBI spokesperson told The Epoch Times that “in keeping with DOJ standard practice, the FBI neither confirms nor denies the existence of any investigation.”

The evidence indicates that thousands of voters were disenfranchised as absentee ballots they said they returned weren’t counted.
