Lawyers, investigators uncovering fraud and corruption in key 2020 election states By Phill Kline

Big Tech and the mainstream media are the only ones who have called the election for Joe Biden.  Fortunately, neither of those institutions decides who will serve as our president.  Only the American people, guided by the rule of law, can do that.

Ensuring that the 2020 presidential election is resolved lawfully and consistently with the Constitution is imperative.  But time is short, and the forces seeking to prevent scrutiny of the results are powerful.

The coronavirus pandemic gave biased actors an opening to exploit chaos, fear, and uncertainty to manipulate the electoral process in a lawless manner designed to benefit the left.  What we are seeing now is the result of those efforts.

The world’s strongest democracy deserves an open and fair election for all American voters.  Not to allow the rule of law to be followed and prevail disenfranchises every American voter.  The president is not picked by Big Tech or big media companies.  Rather, the Constitution and federal and state laws designed to allow Americans to fairly cast their ballot and observe the counting of those ballots protect the voice of each and every American, regardless of ideology.

These laws were not followed.  Windows were boarded up to prevent observation.  People were kicked out of counting rooms.  Americans were denied their right to witness what went on in the counting rooms.  This lawlessness — and yes, I mean lawlessness, in that there was a willful defiance of the law — has called hundreds of thousands of ballots into question.

The Supreme Court’s Pennsylvania Cleanup The Justices have a chance to clarify who writes election law.

For a few days last week, it looked as if the 2020 election might play out as a gloomy opera of recounts and lawsuits, possibly upstaging Florida in 2000. We can thank the fates for sparing us, since nobody else can claim credit. The task ahead, starting in the Supreme Court, is to prevent a similar shadow from falling next time.

Joe Biden’s lead in Pennsylvania has plodded upward to about 49,000 votes, at last check. That’s a modest margin of 0.73 percentage point, but it’s enough to avoid a recount cataclysm. The potential, though, was there. Pennsylvania law says absentee votes must be returned by 8 p.m. on Election Day. Two months ago, the state’s highest court nonetheless yelled abracadabra and changed the deadline to Nov. 6, while making postmarks optional.

Those straggling ballots remain subject to litigation, and Justice Samuel Alito has ordered local officials to keep them separate. The precise number of late votes hasn’t been released, but a state official said Tuesday that it’s “approximately 10,000.” If Mr. Biden were winning by 537 votes, which was George W. Bush’s final margin in Florida, all hell would break loose. The Court’s decision to invalidate the ballots, or to count them, might well pick the next President.

Now the temptation for the Justices, since Mr. Biden appears to have won Pennsylvania and the White House, will be to call this case moot and walk away from the controversy. That would be a missed opportunity.

I Was In Philadelphia Watching Fraud Happen. Here’s How It Went Down By Jerome Marcus

At issue was President Trump’s request for an order changing the way Pennsylvania absentee and mail-in ballots are being reviewed at the Philadelphia Convention Center.

Legacy media are lying when they claim that all of President Trump’s allegations of voter fraud are baseless. I know, because I argued a case on the president’s behalf in federal court in Philadelphia.

At issue was President Trump’s request for an order changing the way Pennsylvania absentee and mail-in ballots are being reviewed at the Philadelphia Convention Center. CNN and others claim he “lost.” That’s false: he won. As I made that argument on behalf of the president’s campaign, I can tell you what really happened.

President Trump went to court about two problems: First, only a handful of Republican observers—substantially fewer than the Democrats had there—were being admitted to the room at the Philadelphia Convention Center where inspections were being conducted. Second, the few who could get in weren’t permitted to get close enough to see what was actually happening. The most important questions all have to ask are: Why all the hiding? What’s being hidden?

At the Convention Center counting location, I personally observed dozens of Trump campaign volunteers being barred from the counting room even though they’d been properly registered as observers. That’s why I urged Pam Bondi and Corey Lewandowski, who were on the scene, to authorize the filing of a request that a federal court order the Board of Elections to stop this nonsense.

More hiding: despite a binding order of the state’s Commonwealth Court, the handful of Republican observers who could get into the room weren’t being allowed up to the barrier set at six feet from the closest tables where work was being done. So even though they were in the room where it was happening, they had no way to tell what was happening. If there’s no fraud, why is the Democrat-controlled Board of Elections unwilling to let people get close enough to actually see what its people are doing?

An Election Day Bridge Too Far By Victor Davis Hanson

https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/11/an-election-day-bridge-too-far/

Voters might not have had concerns about irregularities, if fundamental steps were taken, and problems fixed.

N o wonder half the public is concerned about irregularities in the 2020 voting.

No wonder they would support Donald Trump’s skepticism, once a reputable legal team quickly, publicly, and transparently presents to the nation justified concerns about constitutional violations in changing state voting laws and documented accounts of computer glitches, inexplicable late arrivals of ballot troves, and systemic efforts to prevent transparency — all at a level that reasonably could question the authenticity of the final vote count or even serve a dire warning of things to come.

Voting sanctity was not just questioned by Trump. It became a recent issue in 2016. Then-Green Party candidate Jill Stein was used as a surrogate by Hillary Clinton and the Democratic establishment — to the chagrin of her own supporters — to sue in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania to overturn the 2016 election. The charge was deliberate voting-machine irregularities, for which there was not even much anecdotal evidence.

When that failed, the Left went full Hollywood with a media blitz to convince the American people that the election was a fraud and the electors had to do their “patriotic” duty to overturn the mandates of their own state — and reject Donald Trump.

Within days of that failure, a Democratic narrative appeared that Donald Trump was an illegitimate president due to “Russian collusion.” Soon Hillary Clinton joined the “Resistance,” on the basis that Russians, not the American people, had chosen the president — a charge that eventually sabotaged Donald Trump’s first two years in office, as Robert Mueller’s 22-month, $40-million “Dream Team” failed to prove that a myth, born in efforts to delegitimize an election and a president, was after all a myth.

Indeed, within days of Trump’s inauguration, dozens of Democrats voted for impeachment, as activists wrote about the need to either impeach him, or declare him crazy — or whispered about the need for the military to become vigilant — in a manner later to be dubbed “coup porn.” Again the pretext was a

RealClearPolitics Does Not have Biden Winning Pennsylvania or Presidency, Yet

RealClearPolitics (RPC)  live results feed withdrew Joe Biden’s president-elect status Monday night after stripping him of Pennsylvania’s 20 electoral votes.

RCP reversed Biden’s win in Pennsylvania on their live feed bringing him back down below the 270 threshold to 259 electoral votes.  Although, in some confusion,  Real Clear Politics never called Pennsylvania to begin with, in the Presidential race.  Either way, RCP does not have Pennsylvania in Biden’s win column. 

The “live results” reversal comes as votes continue to be counted and lawsuits fly.

RealClearPolitics  based in Chicago,  claims to be an independent, non-partisan political news media company.  RCP is also a polling data aggregator.

Meanwhile, US Attorney General William Barr has authorized federal prosecutors across the U.S. to pursue “substantial allegations” of voting irregularities before the 2020 presidential election is certified.  Leaders from China, Russia and Mexico have also declined to congratulate Joe Biden on a projected presidential victory until the vote is certified.

Let Us Be Righteous Eileen F. Toplansky

NO URL- THIS IS AN ORIGINAL UNPUBLISHED ESSAY….

“As they put on their robes, the Supreme Court judges must remember that they should “not pervert justice or show partiality. They should not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous” (Deut. 16:18-20).And we need to be constantly watchful and recall Winston Churchill’s words from 1940 — “Never stop, never weary, and never give in.”

As Trump supporters wait and pray for America, I, for one, have to thank the dastardly Democrats for reminding me of the wondrous and exceptional ideas that are uniquely American.  Although my good fortune is directly related to the foundational ideas of America, it wasn’t until the wickedness of Obama and Clinton and now Biden and Harris that I truly began to understand the genius of the Founding Fathers.

Interestingly, my first revelation comes from an outside observer, St. Jean de Crevecoeur (1731-1813) who wrote “What Is an American?  It is a piece that describes the “American Dream” as the development of a country free of Old World restrictions.

It embodies what we saw with the Trump flotillas, the massive crowds of people who love this country and those who continue to expose the evils of the socialism that the Democrats will surely impose on America.

Crevecoeur writes that this newly founded country of America “. . . is not composed, as in Europe, of great lords who possess everything, and of a herd of people who have nothing.  Here are no aristocratical families, no counts, no kings, no bishops, no ecclesiastical dominion, no invisible power giving to a few a very visible one.”

After the 2016 and 2020 elections, which way will America now go?   By Victor Sharpe

Looking back to the 2016 general election campaign, we know – or should know by now – that Hillary Clinton was corruption incarnate and had been peddling lies for 25 or more years. In the 2016 general election, Trump, although no great debater at the time, took the upper hand during the second and third presidential debates. It is worth remembering what took place during that time as it relates to what we now face during this problematical 2020 election.

A most intriguing example was how both he and Hillary had handled a question from a Moslem woman in the Town Hall format during the second debate who had appeared without the obligatory veil; appearing instead in secular dress: Her question was, “How would you deal with Islamophobia?”

Mrs. Clinton went into full pander mode, almost like saying “some of my best friends are Moslem,” as she commenced to give her response in even more pander power. In fact, her best friend and senior adviser, Huma Abedin, a veritable eminence grise, was the daughter of radical Islamic parents and privy to top US Security and Military Classified information. That made the contemporary Wiki email leaks look like kindergarten child’s play.

We should take note that the very word, Islamophobia, is a made up term created by Islamists to discourage any justified criticism of Islamic intolerance and violence by those whom they still impudently call, ‘infidels.’ But Hillary’s response in all the debates was the usual uber liberal cry of “can’t we all get along.” Of course, Hillary couldn’t resist making the usual snide references to Trump’s falsely alleged “bigotry” against everyone and everything. Trump, on the other hand, challenged the Moslem questioner by asking, “…why are American Moslems not more forthright in denouncing jihadist terrorism and cooperating with law enforcement in reporting suspicious activities?”

The Statistical Case Against Biden’s Win Steve Cortes

https://thenationalpulse.com/news/case-against-biden-win/

Statistics continue to cast real doubt on the probability of a President Trump loss in the election.

The statistical case is, admittedly, circumstantial rather than conclusive.

But the numbers also firmly point to the intense improbability of the accuracy of the present Biden lead. The statistical case provides more than enough reasonable suspicion to require hand recounts and immediate investigation into fraudulent activities, including the new damning revelations of on-the-record whistleblowers.

There are four key elements to the numerical thesis:

1. Turnout 
Clearly, high turnout was expected in an intensely political year with vastly expanded access to mail-in voting. But the kinds of numbers reported simply defy reasonable expectations.

For Wisconsin overall, the turnout was above 90% of registered voters. Even in a state with same-day registration, such a number seems implausible.

After all, in Australia, a place where voting is mandatory, and failing to vote is punishable with stiff fines, the total turnout for the most recent election was still only 92%.

Even more importantly, looking within the Wisconsin vote, the decisive locale for Biden was, unsurprisingly, Milwaukee. Wisconsin’s largest city reported an 84% turnout to secure a 145,916 vote lead there for Biden.

Consider a comparison to another very similar Midwestern city, Cleveland, OH. Milwaukee has a population of 590,000, 67% of them minorities. Cleveland has 381,000 people with 60% of them minorities.

But Milwaukee’s 84% turnout dwarfs Cleveland’s more believable 51% turnout rate. Like many of the suspect statistical trends evident from last Tuesday, the abnormal factors favoring Biden seem only present in the key swing states that Biden allegedly won.
2. Outperformance vs. Obama
The breakouts higher for Biden relative to Obama’s performances in key areas simply do not seem credible.

Could a candidate as doddering and lazy as Biden really have massively outpaced the vote totals of a politician who boasted rock star appeal?

For example, consider that in key Pennsylvania counties of Chester, Cumberland, and Montgomery, Biden bested the Obama election performances by factors of 1.24-1.43 times. For Montgomery County, Obama won this swing county by 59,000 votes in his 2012 re-election.

But in 2020, Biden won Montgomery County by a whopping 131,000 votes, more than twice the prior Obama margin.

Biden’s 2020 total vote in Montgomery is reported at 313,000, crushing Obama’s 233,000 take in 2012 – and population growth does not explain the gains, as the county only grew by 22,000 residents during those eight years.

Such eye-popping outperformance vs.Obama, in just the right places, naturally raises a lot of suspicion.  

The election lawsuit Trump should win by Byron York

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/byron-yorks-daily-memo-the-election-lawsuit-trump-should-win

THE ELECTION LAWSUIT TRUMP SHOULD WIN. In its effort to challenge vote counts in key states, the Trump campaign has filed lots of lawsuits that have little chance of winning. But there is one suit that it should win — not only for the Trump campaign or the 2020 election but for all elections in the future. It’s the court fight over Pennsylvania’s election rules, and it involves a fundamental issue that is important to all 50 states.

The first thing to remember is that the Constitution gives state legislatures the authority to make rules governing the conduct of elections for federal offices in their state. In October 2019, the Pennsylvania state legislature passed Act 77, which updated and revised the rules for elections in the state. For the first time ever, it allowed all Pennsylvanians to vote by mail if they chose, without requiring that they show they would be absent from their voting district on election day. Remember, this was pre-coronavirus, and Pennsylvania was moving toward greater voting by mail than in the past.

On the question of voting by mail, the legislature made one clear, unambiguous requirement: All mail-in ballots had to be received by 8 p.m. on election day. (It let stand an existing law that allowed military and overseas ballots to be received for seven days after election day.)

Then, in March of this year, after the arrival of the virus, the legislature revisited the law. It made some changes to accommodate voting in a pandemic. It re-scheduled the state’s primary election and included measures to help reduce crowding at polling places. But it left untouched the requirement that all mail-in ballots had to be received by 8 p.m. on election night.
