| 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.

| 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.
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.
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.
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.
