Top 10 Smoking Guns of 2020 Election System Compromises

 

Fact:  Votes were often deleted in the 2020 Presidential Election

About 40% of Americans (including 70% of registered Democrats) still believe the lie told by DHS/CISA's Christoper Krebs  that the 2020 U.S. election was the "most secure in American history."  The  majority believe the election was not on the up and up.   Over half of non-affiliated voters and 75% of Republican voters are among those in the latter group.

Kreb's November 12th statement also included this patently false statement:

"There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised."

There is ample evidence to the contrary.

Here are my top ten 10 examples that 2020 election systems did not produce accurate results.  

To date, no one from the state governments or anyone else have provided  legitimate explanations to refute this proof of systemic error(s) in the election systems.   In some instances, state officials and/or their representatives confirmed the errors.

1.  Nearly 4 million votes subtracted from Biden and Trump over the course of the 2020 election.

2.   a.  No (zero) write-in votes in any race in the city of Detroit, Michigan.

      b.  No (zero) absentee write-in votes (out of 2.84 million) in Michigan

3.a.  Vote shifting in Antrim County, Michigan  

   b. Non-adjudication of write-in votes in Antrim County.

4.   9,000 more votes than possible on election night in Maricopa County, AZ.

5.   Double counting of ballots in Fulton County, Georgia.

6.   No write-in or minor party votes in the City of Milwaukee's 168,000 vote dump.

7.    Folded ballots cause miscounts in Windham, NH Congressional races.

8.    Approximately 70,000 missing votes for Green Party Presidential candidate in Pennsylvania.

9.    64,492 absentee votes removed from Trump in Pennsylvania.

10.   No (zero) absentee write-in votes in the battlegrounds Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin.

In the majority of cases, these problems were caused by system issues.  The only exceptions were the 4 million votes subtracted (#1) of which some was allegedly caused by human error and the duplicate ballot scanning in Georgia by unscrupulous election workers (#5).

Absurd Fact Checks on Biden's 8.1M Excess Votes

 

Media fact checkers & experts resorted to hyperbole, appeal to authority, and absurdity in response to solid analysis.

When former Army captain Seth Keshel's analysis of 8.1 million excess Biden votes was published by the Gateway Pundit, the media immediately scrambled to "debunk" Keshel's work.

It bears repeating, if the media labels someone a conspiracy theorist, then it is almost certain that the person is telling the truth.  

Here is the first line of USAToday's so-called fact check (my emphasis added)

"Conspiracy theorists who, months after the 2020 election, still falsely claim voter fraud affected the outcome have started to get creative."

Before getting around to discussing the data, USAToday columnist Daniel Funke also wrote this little gem.

The article, which accumulated nearly 13,000 shares within four days, cites an Aug. 2 post from Keshel on Telegram, an encrypted messaging app popular with far-right extremists.

Absurd. 

The USAToday headline read: "No evidence of 8 million 'excess' Biden votes in the 2020 election."

Nothing in Funke's column directly refuted Keshel's analysis.

Lyin' Josh Shapiro's PA "Audit" Lies

Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro is petrified of what will be exposed when Senator Doug Mastriano conducts a forensic audit of the 2020 General Election.  Not only will it expose that Biden lost bigly, but that he (Shapiro) did too.

Out of fear, Lyin' Josh went on Twitter and spun up four falsehoods in a single tweet about the Pennsylvania 2020 election and Mastriano's audit.

First, let's address his "two audits" falsehood. 

There were not two "audits" in Pennsylvania if you understand the definition of an audit. 

Most audit definitions come from the world of finance and accounting.  The common thread among audit definitions is that audits "confirm the authenticity" of the records.  In this case, it's ballots and/or votes.

Nothing of the sort happened in Pennsylvania after the November 2020 election that confirmed the authenticity of the ballots.

What happened in Pennsylvania was nothing more than recounts based on a sample of ballots.  Whether those were legal ballots or illegal ballots remains in question.

That's why Democrats all over the US (and their media mouthpieces) are decrying post-election audits in the battleground states. 

Here are the details behind Lyin' Josh's "audits."

The first so-called "audit"was nothing more than a recount of a random sample of ballots.  However, that recount was FATALLY FLAWED because at least four counties had incomplete records of the number of voters (a total of 205,000 more votes were cast than voters).

Wanda Murren, a spokesperson for the Pennsylvania Secretary of State readily admitted the records were incomplete.

It is improper to draw a sample without first resolving the discrepancy between the number of voters and votes cast.  Was this issue duplicate ballots being counted?  Or was it a record keeping issue as alleged by Murren?  Or was it a combination of the two?

No one knows for sure. Only a forensic audit can resolve the questions.

Obviously, Pennsylvania should not have certified its election until the discrepancy was resolved.   To otherwise do so was illegal.

Maricopa: What happened to 443K excess ballots?

 

Election progress reports reveal that Maricopa County counted 443K excess ballots.

Previous blogposts here and here highlighted that Joe Biden received about 120K excess votes from the first two tranches of votes reported from Maricopa County.

Those tranches were reported by 8:03 PM MST.

In addition, the first two tranches of votes contained 9,000 more votes than the total reported at the end of the election for all of Maricopa County.    

As mentioned in Maricopa County Caught Red Handed, the total from 8:03 PM were unlikely to include the 168K votes cast on Election Day.   There is no accountability for those ballots. 

It may be that some or all of those votes were never counted in the 2020 election due to misalignment or bleed throughs by sharpies.  Time -- and the final audit report -- will tell.

However, the fact remains that nearly 2.1 million votes from Maricopa were counted by 8:03 PM and that's a big problem for Biden and the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors -- because at least 443K more votes were counted after the morning November 4th.

Did Maricopa transfer 120K excess Biden votes to other counties?

 MARICOPA ROUTERGATE

JULY 22, 2021:  When the Maricopa Audit team briefed Senators Karen Fann and Warren Petersen, it came as no surprise (to me) that they did not mention that by 8:04 PM MST on Election night that Joe Biden received 120,807 more votes than possible in Maricopa County.

Why didn't the auditors report this discrepancy?

Several reasons, but at the top is that the auditors cannot explain what happened to the excess 120K votes until they get access to the Maricopa County router data.

Those Biden votes had to go somewhere.

ARIZONA: 74K Excess Votes Still In Doubt

 

CNN's expert fact checker's source was "some friends of mine" 

It bears repeating -- whenever the media claims something is false or it's a conspiracy theory, then the opposite is probably true.

When Cyber Ninjas CEO Doug Logan announced that the audit found 74K absentee ballots that were not mailed to voters (among other serious issues with Maricopa's election), the media's reflex reaction was to scramble and say it was debunked.

As it stands right now, those votes are still of questionable origin because neither Maricopa County nor a media data analyst have answered the question by using the authoritative data source.

Stu Cvrk/Red State: A.U.D.I.T. Update

 A.U.D.I.T. of Elections: The Pot Is Boiling out of Control!

A.U.D.I.T.: About Undermining Democrat-Implemented Theft (of elections)

Despite the best efforts by the Democrat-media complex and the execrable RINOs who are helping them, the revelations about what truly transpired during the 2020 election have not attenuated one iota over the past week. In fact, the trickle has become a veritable torrent! Before getting to that deluge of election-related reports, a few reminders are in order:

• The Democrats can’t have it both ways, claiming that the election was the “most secure ever” while doing everything possible to preclude the verification of that simple claim through forensic audits.

• Audits aren’t a “threat to democracy,” as the Democrats and their media sycophants continually bleat. In reality, standing in the way of audits undermines our constitutional Republic and the confidence that the American people have in our election processes, for without election integrity, anything is possible (including Democrat/Uniparty political hegemony ad infinitum against the will of the people).

• If we have learned anything in the Age of Trump, the opposite of what Democrats claim is almost certainly the truth. The list is long of Democrat agitprop later proved to be false: Trump-Russia collusion, Trump is a stooge of Putin, Steele dossier, Ukraine phone call quid pro quo, Charlottesville, Trump is a dictator, clearing Lafayette Square with tear gas, inciting insurrection, and all the rest. Thus, their endlessly repeated claims that the 2020 election was the most secure in history with its corollary that any assertions of voter fraud are “baseless” are merely the next on the list of items that will be debunked – just as the mountain of evidence discovered and analyzed since Election Day is making obvious to all but the willfully blind.

• Finally, to claim that those advocating for forensic audits must be stopped “to prevent this concerted effort to undermine our election,” as The Hologram read from his remarks prepared by his handler in Pennsylvania on Tuesday, is the opposite of the truth, as fraud vitiates everything, including a presidency.

PA's Hidden Risk Limiting Audit

 

Former PA Secretary of State Boockvar hid 2020 election & RLA results (photo credit SpotlightPA)                                   

JULY 14, 2021:  When Pennsylvania stalwart Senator Doug Mastriano announced his intentions to move forward with a full forensic audit of the 2020 election results, petrified Democrats, including its acting Secretary of State (SOS), Veronica DeGraffenreid and its dishonest Attorney General, Josh Shapiro encouraged counties not to participate, threatened legal action, and complained about the cost of the audit.

The argument about cost is a real laugher.

Shapiro spent the last four years and  a considerable amount of taxpayer dollars to pursue a misdemeanor conviction in order to boost his political popularity -- while deciding not to lift a finger to investigate a potential child sex trafficking ring. 

Interestingly, Shapiro, DeGraffenreid, and other election fraud deniers have baselessly claimed that Pennsylvania ran a free and fair election.   

What proof do they have of this?

Absolutely none. 

Detroit System Error Underscores Need for Michigan Forensic Audit

Detroit election results prove Kaminsky was correct about the miscount of write-in votes

JULY 13, 2021:  Smoking gun evidence of an Election Management System (EMS) error in the City of Detroit during the November 2020 election has been revealed.

Shortly after the election, Keith Kaminsky was among many thousands of Michigan voters who filed affidavits citing voting irregularities.  Kaminsky manned Precinct 374 in the city of Detroit and discovered that the voting system was not counting write-in votes.

According to the official results, there were ZERO write-in votes for Precinct 374.  

Why PA Needs a Forensic Audit

 

PA's 2020 Election Results Don't Make Sense  (Analysis & graphics by Seth Keshel)

A picture is worth a thousand words and the "pictures" in this post get to the heart of why Pennsylvania's 2020 presidential election results should be forensically audited.   The results defy nearly every statistic that predicts election outcomes  -- especially voter registration trends.

Maricopa County Caught Red Handed

Maricopa County had a blank checkbook for casting absentee votes - and used it

 

Vote Dumps -- Caught Red-Handed

Arizona's 2020 election laws allowed all 15 counties to begin tabulating early votes two weeks prior to election day, thus the election night count started with two massive vote dumps of 625K and 1.47M right after the polls closed.   

Those dumps, totaling 2,098,619 votes came from Maricopa County because no other county had more than 527K votes (i.e., Pima at 526,319).   The official results canvass reveals that Maricopa cast only 2,089,563 votes  -- therefore the two dumps contained 9,000 more votes than possible -- for the entire election in Maricopa.   The source of the data table is Edison Research.

Worse yet, Biden’s total from the two dumps is 1.16 million - about 120K votes greater than reported for him in the FINAL results. 

When you consider that Election Day votes plus late arriving absentee votes had not yet been tabulated, the amount of fraudulent ballots in those dumps is a considerable number. 

How big?

The exact number of in-person votes cast in Maricopa County on Election Day is unknown (another audit problem), however, multiple sources reported 167K voters cast ballots at the polls.   If that is true, then the fraudulent ballot count for Maricopa County is at 296K votes (120K from first two dumps + 167K election day + original 9K early over) and counting.

The Navarro Report, Volume III estimated illegal votes at 254,772 across the state.  That total is obviously low.

Is it any wonder that the Arizona Secretary of State, Katie Hobbs, and the Democratic party operatives are in a frenzy over the ongoing audit --  and doing all they can do to stop it?

The reasons why WIMP votes get stolen

The 2020 steal of Write-In and Minor Party (WIMP) votes reminds me of kids who steal money from a change jar.  Typically, the kids screw up by taking all the quarters and leaving behind just nickels, dimes, and pennies.  The parent or change jar owner is oblivious of the theft until they pick up the jar and notice that it is too light.  After which,  they dump the jar and see all the quarters are missing -- and the theft is confirmed.

In the 2020 election, the (unspecified) vote thieves made the same mistake.  

All that was left in the in the WIMP vote jar was nickels, dimes, and pennies (i.e., an incredibly low number of votes).

So, why are WIMP votes targeted for theft?

Millions of WIMP Votes Shifted Nationwide

Did shifted WIMP (Write-In & Minor Party) votes make Biden more "popular" than Clinton?

Back in 2016, then candidate Hillary Clinton got almost 3 million more popular votes than the Electoral College winner, Donald Trump.   

In 2020, Trump gained more popular votes as a sitting president than any of his predecessors.  Trump also received the highest percentage of non-white votes than any GOP candidate since Richard Nixon in 1960.  

Despite those statistics, Trump (allegedly) still lost to Biden by a little over 7 million votes.   

Or did he? 

Wisconsin's WIMP problem

Wisconsin's WIMP votes declined by 132K from 2016 to 2020

Wisconsin had a WIMP problem in the 2020 election. 

WIMP is an acronym for Write-In and Minor Party.   The graphic above shows that WIMP votes declined by 132,307 votes from 2016 to 2020.     Similar declines have been found in other key battleground states -- for example:

Arizona:                Minor Party:  -106,100;  Write-In:  -51,238  

Georgia:               Minor Party:    -83,192:  Write-In:  -20,155

Pennsylvania:       Minor Party:  -180,752:  Write-In: -113,417

Are all of these declines a coincidence?  Did  minor party and other voters decide to acquiesce and vote for a major party candidate?  Or do these declines represent this a systemic issue in our US elections/voting systems?

Evidence suggests the latter.

In each of the states listed above, the decline in Write-In votes was greater than Biden's margins of victory.

Mail-In Ballot Math Doesn't Add Up for Biden

According to Pennsylvania's certified election results, Joe Biden received 1,995,691 mail-in votes in the 2020 election.  Those votes erased President Trump's Election Day lead and eventually won him the Keystone State by 80,555 votes.   

While the votes were counted that way, it is unlikely they were cast that way.  

Contrary to Popular Belief, Trump Grew Support for GOP

Contrary to popular belief: The GOP gained support under Trump

Anecdote:  Trump would have won the 2020 election if he hadn't turned off so many Republican voters.  

The above anecdote was pushed by the media and many people believe(d) it because they know of a person or persons who voted for Trump in 2016 and didn't do so in 2020.   Anecdotal information is powerful and often has undue influence because of its personal nature -- however, it is often not reflective of reality.

As the image at the top of the page shows, more people in Pennsylvania registered Republican than registered as Democrats since 2016.   The GOP  narrowed the registration gap by 200,000 over the last four years, with a net of gain of nearly 134K voters coming by virtue of Democrats who were moving to Republican in droves (D to R, third column).   Conversely, the movement of Republicans to Democrat (R to D, second column) was under half the size of the Democratic migration. 

NIC & DOJ Reports on Election Are Smokescreens

 

Recent US government reports on foreign interference in the 2020 election are not only erroneous, but attempt to throw up a smoke screen to shield the public from knowing what these agencies don't know.

The ignorance of the United States Intelligence Community (IC) agencies, as well as the Department of Justice (DOJ) the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Department of Homeland Security is on display for the world to see. 

According to the NIC assessment (my emphasis added):

"We assess foreign cybercriminals probably did not work to interfere or influence the US elections on behalf of or at the direction of a nation state. We have low confidence in this assessment."

There it is...."probably did not...low confidence." 

On page 10, "Low Probability" is defined as:

 "the information's credibility and/or plausibility in uncertain; that the infomation (sic) if fragmented, dated, or poorly corroborated; or that the reliability of the sources is questionable."

PA's Minor Party/Write-In Vote Steal

PA's write-in vote total fell by 113,417 votes in 2020

                         

The decline in Minor Party/Write-in votes in the Pennsylvania 2020 Presidential election has gone largely unnoticed by the majority of analysts and therefore by the media.   

In the 2016 Presidential race, the Green Party, Constitution Party, and write-ins accounted for 121,089 votes in Pennsylvania.   But in 2020, the bottom seemingly fell out and only 7,672 votes were cast by those parties by write-in ballot according to the Keystone State's official results posted by Edison Research and also reported by Reuters.   A thorough analysis of the Edison Research transactional results determined that Pennsylvania should have counted approximately 159K write-in votes.

 If these votes were switched, and the evidence strongly suggests they were, then Biden's come from behind victory in Pennsylvania came as a result of violations of the 14th Amendment rights of those voters.

Arizona: Proof of Systemic Errors in Vote Count

Zero write-in votes among nearly 3 million absentee ballots is proof of system error

There was not a single write-in vote among the nearly 3 million absentee votes cast in the Arizona 2020 election.  That anomaly alone is proof of a systemic error in the voting system.  

AP Fact Checker Eviscerated

The fact checker skewed data to fit the media's skewed narrative

On January 24, 2021 I blogged about some of my team's work on election lawsuits.  That analysis determined that Trump's legal team and others who were fighting for election integrity prevailed in over two-thirds (15/22) cases. 

We were contacted by Politifact and the Associated Press (AP) about the information and explained that our work included all the lawsuits, not just those filed after the election and when those are counted, Trump and associates have done quite well.  

2016 Vote Rigging Ran Out of Time

A good friend of mine does not believe the 2020 election was rigged because of the "enthusiasm for Biden" that was behind the scenes that drove voter turnout. 

Okay, I'll agree that quite a bit happened behind the scenes....and behind the barricades and poster boards and whatever else Democrats could find to help block vote counting from view.  Those acts helped give Biden the edge. 

But then he also made the argument that if I thought 2020 was rigged in the election system, then why don't I believe that 2016 was rigged for Trump to win.

At first reaction, I stated that if 2016 was rigged for Trump, then Clinton and the Democrats would have raised holy hell about it.  

PA & AZ Cover-Up Write In Vote Totals

In November 2020, protesters and politicians - including PA AG Josh Shapiro -- demanded that every vote be counted.

Do they know that Governor Tom Wolf and Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar didn't follow through?

I've not heard Shapiro question the results that show Pennsylvania didn't count a single write-in ballot.

You can go to these official Pennsylvania state sources here and here and not find a single write-in vote counted for the presidential race.   You can check Ballotpedia too -- nothing there for 2020, but plenty of write-ins for 2016. 

Unlike most other states, Pennsylvania didn't post anything official regarding the number of votes for write-in candidates in 2020.  Arizona posted a write-in count for 2020, however it doesn't match with the county totals.  

Based on analysis of PA's election returns, it is almost certain that a large number votes for write-in candidates -- between 30,000 and 75,000 --  were reassigned as Biden votes.  Based on the evidence, the number is closer to the latter than the former.

This was made possible, in part, by the PA Supreme Court's decision to keep the Green Party Presidential candidate, Howie Hawkins, off the ballot.  The Green Party was likely robbed of 30,000 to 75,000 votes -- meanwhile the voters who didn't prefer any of the candidates on the ballot - and wrote their choices in, weren't recognized in the official vote count.  

One of the Worst 2020 Election Fact Checks

W. Edwards Deming, a scholar and statistician once said, "In God we trust, all others must bring data."

One of the first posts on this blog debunked the earliest of 2020 election "fact-checks" from DHS/CISA by showing the evidence of vote switches in Pennsylvania and Michigan.   

Those of us who are alleging (proving) vote manipulation do so based on the election data.   

Conversely, the reporters who write the fact checks trust the words of election software companies, polling organizations, and government officials who rarely, if ever, provide data to support their claims of a secure election and an accurate vote count. 

What is truly amusing, however, is when those rare instances occur and the media sources attempt to use data to support their claims.  These instances reveal not only their own ignorance of data but the ignorance of the fact checkers (who obviously didn't pay attention in math class).

On December 2, 2020, a  Reuters fact-check  attempted to debunk or otherwise discredit an individual who used Edison Research's election night reporting data (NEP) sent to the New York Times (NYT) to demonstrate incidents of  vote manipulation in Virginia.  

From Reuters:

"Social media users have been sharing an article which claims to use spreadsheets of election data from the New York Times (NYT) to show evidence of voter fraud in Virginia. The (Gateway Pundit) article says that vote entries are not in whole integers, some entries are removed and re-added, and the proportion of votes for each candidate is the same for most entries. However, the NYT confirmed to Reuters that it did not make the spreadsheets and its own data is in whole integers."

Failed Fact Check #1:  It is not relevant if NYT made the spreadsheets. 

81 Election Lawsuits Filed: Few Decided on the Merits

Only 22 of 81 election cases were decided on the merits.

One of the worst (and patently false) arguments for denying election fraud occurred in the 2020 election is that Trump and his associates lost all but one of their court cases.

Columns like this one from USAToday allege that Trump and his associates lost 61 of 62 lawsuits.  

The source of USAToday's data was Marc Elias, who was involved in some of the cases as counsel for the defendant.  Elias is employed by the Perkins Coie legal firm that was involved in paying for the Steele Dossier that underpinned the Russia-Collusion hoax.   Obviously, USAToday relied on a biased source and is reporting a dishonest assessment of court proceedings.

The actual numbers are quite different according to a listing compiled by an election integrity group.

Trump and associates were actually involved in 81 legal cases (including appeals of same case) regarding the election and 25 of the cases are still active.   Thus there were 56 decisions, not 62.

Next, of those 56 decisions, only 22 were decided on the merits -- and Trump and associates prevailed in 15, or over half, of those cases.

Pennsylvania Vote Shifts After 76% of Votes Counted

Note:  Numbers may not be exact due to rounding

This is a partial data set showing vote switches in Pennsylvania after counting resumed on November 4, 2020.  As in many other states, the reporting of tabulated votes stopped around 3:13 AM EST  and resumed a few hours later at approximately 6:00 AM EST.

The source for this chart is election night reporting from the New York Times that is provided by Edison Research.   The Edison Research election results match Pennsylvania's official results in 66 of 67 counties.  

Note that in many instances, Trump's subtracted votes only make up a portion of the Leftover Votes.  In those instances, there are likely write-in votes and mismarked votes  (i.e. double marked ballots, blank ballots, etc) votes in that total.      

All of these Leftover votes go through the adjudication process to determine the intent of the voter.   However, in these instances it appears that bulk adjudication of batches of votes occurred in a systematic manner.

  

John Eastman Blisters Chapman Faculty in Resignation Letter

 

From the American Mind newsletter:

In recent days John Eastman has been the subject of many defamatory and scurrilous attacks regarding his actions as an advisor and attorney for President Donald Trump.

He sets the record straight in his resignation letter to Chapman University, Fowler School of Law.

DEBUNKED: The Dem's Reflex Reaction to Evidence of Voter Fraud

Just hours after the video of cases of ballots being pulled from under a table in State Farm Arena and then being counted without supervision -- and before anyone in an official capacity provided an explanation -- Georgia state Senator Elena Parent cried "that's been debunked." 

Another Senator calmly responded, "This video is only few hours old.   Who debunked it?

Parent exhibited the reflex reaction of most Democrats when she was confronted with the evidence of fraud.  When next confronted that the video hadn't been debunked, she moved to the next reflex reaction.

Parent stated that Trump had lost 40 of 41 court cases because the courts didn't accept the evidence of fraud.

At the time neither statement was true -- and both remain untrue today.   

Vote Dumps Should Be Investigated

Numerous so-called fact-check sites have attempted to dismiss large vote spikes as human error or software glitches that were later corrected.  For example, the fact checkers dismissed the Michigan vote spike on the basis that a tweet said all the votes were for Biden.

As the table shows, the Michigan vote spike was not all for Biden, but nonetheless, the data shows an anomalous margin of 113,755 votes.  To put it another way, the precinct in question went 96% for Biden and 4% for Trump -- and that's a result that deserves red-flagged.

An analysis conducted by a team of volunteers (computer scientists, engineers, statisticians, and analysts) concluded that only a few corrections were made and the results of the famously large vote spikes in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin remain in the final vote tallies in those states.

While these spikes are not evidence of fraud or manipulation in and of themselves, they demand further investigation.

The full report is available here.
