Illegal rule changes, ballot harvesting, Iranian voter hack are among the many now-confirmed serious irregularities, putting the lie to the "perfect election" narrative.
After the 2020 election ended with Joe Biden declared the
winner, the federal
cybersecurity agency declared it was a perfectly secure vote. Months
later, federal prosecutors admitted two Iranian nationals hacked into a state’s
database and stole the identities of 100,000 voters in an effort to influence
the election.
Likewise, Wisconsin Gov.
Tony Evers declared it was “outrageous” to think his state’s
2020 election needed to be investigated. Now, two separate courts have
concluded that state election regulators illegally changed rules, allowing tens
of thousands to cast ballots in an unlawful manner.
And that probe Evers so stubbornly resisted just provided
evidence of fraudulent vote-collecting operations that exploited vulnerable
residents in nursing homes.
Georgia’s elections chief similarly expresses confidence to
this day in his state’s declaration that Joe Biden won in 2020, but he now
admits the state’s largest county ran a vote counting operation so
dysfunctional that the state may take over the county. He also has launched a
probe into potential illegal harvesting of ballots that he says may result in
prosecutions.
And Arizona, one of the first states to move to no-excuse
mail-in voting years ago, has now begun an urgent effort to return to
traditional in-person voting with paper ballots after investigations called
into question more than 50,000 ballots cast in November 2020 and tens of
thousands more verification signatures.
For more than a year, Democrats and their allies in the
corporate media have decried what they call the “Big Lie” that America’s 2020
election was flawed or stolen. But almost weekly now, revelations are emerging
that the election was, in fact, marred by illegalities, irregularities and
mismanagement like former President Donald Trump has argued, leaving a nation
increasingly doubting the reliability of its election system.
A recent poll
found that 40% of Americans no longer believe in the legitimacy
of the winner of either of the last two presidential elections, a stunning
number for a country globally held as the gold standard for constitutional
republics built on democracy.
"We have a lot of work to do," former Ohio
Secretary of State Ken Blackwell told Just the News on Wednesday. "And so
I never sugarcoat this, because there's substantial voter dissatisfaction with
the the lack of security of our ballots. And they are very concerned that folks
who are voting are folks who are not eligible to vote. And so you can't have a
system where illegal ballots negate the casting of legal ballots."
The 2020 election results almost certainly won’t be
reversed, no matter how widespread the calls for decertification grow. But the opportunity
to take the many failures of the last election seriously to improve Americans’
confidence in voting in the 2022 and 2024 elections looms large,
experts told Just the News.
"We need to make sure our voting rolls are clean,"
Wisconsin State Rep. Janel Brandtjen told Just the News. She oversees the
Assembly committee on election integrity and blasted Democratic Gov. Tony Evers
for vetoing legislation designed to fix many problems identified in the Dairy
State.
"At this point, there is no downside to cheating in
Wisconsin, when you have a governor that's shutting down a lot of the things
that we've thought in the past as Republicans and Democrats that would make a
fair and transparent election," she added.
Here are 20 of the most important revelations uncovered by
Just the News over the last 15 months of reporting, complete with
substantiating evidence and links"
1.
A
Foreign Intrusion. Federal
authorities have confirmed that two Iranian
nationals successfully hacked into a state computer election system,
stole 100,000 voter registrations and used the data to carry out a
cyber-intimidation campaign that targeted GOP members of Congress, Trump
campaign officials and Democratic voters in the November 2020 election in one
of the largest foreign intrusions in U.S. election history. The defendants
"were part of a coordinated conspiracy in which Iranian hackers sought to
undermine faith and confidence in the U.S. presidential election," U.S.
Attorney Damian Williams declared in an indictment.
2.
Alleged
Bribery. The former state Supreme Court
justice appointed by the Wisconsin Legislature to investigate the 2020 election
concluded that millions of dollars in donations to election administrators in
five Democrat-heavy municipalities from the Mark Zuckerberg-funded Center for
Tech and Civic Life violated state anti-bribery laws and corrupted election
practices by turning public election authorities into liberal get-out-the-vote
activists. “The Zuckerberg-funded CTCL/ Zuckerberg 5 scheme would prove to be
an effective way to accomplish the partisan effort to 'turnout' their desired
voters and it was done with the active support of the very people and the
governmental institution (WEC) that were supposed to be guarding the Wisconsin
elections administrative process from the partisan activities they
facilitated,” Justice Michael Gableman wrote.
3.
Illegal
ballot harvesting in Wisconsin.
Gableman also exposed an extensive vote collection operation, known as ballot
harvesting, in nursing homes in which third-party activists illegally collected
the ballots of vulnerable residents, some of whom lacked the mental or physical
capacity to vote or were forbidden from voting by guardianship agreements.
State election regulators “unlawfully directed the municipal clerks not to send
out the legally required special voting deputies to nursing homes, resulting in
many nursing homes’ registered residents voting at 100% rates and many
ineligible residents voting, despite a guardianship order or incapacity,”
Gableman wrote in his explosive report.
4.
Ballot
harvesting probe in the Peach State.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has announced he has opened a
criminal investigation into allegations that liberal activists engaged in illegal
ballot harvesting, collecting ballots from voters and delivering
them in violation of state law. Raffensperger said he is planning to issue
subpoenas to identify a whistleblower who admitted he engaged in the operation,
and there could be prosecutions. The True the Vote election integrity
group says in a formal state complaint that the man, identified as John Doe,
admitted his role and identified nonprofits who funded it at $10 per ballot
delivered. The watchdog group also claims it has assembled cell phone
location records pinpointing the alleged harvesting by as many as 240
activists.
5.
Bad
voter signatures? A review of
Maricopa County's mail-in ballots in Arizona's 2020
presidential election estimated that more than 200,000 ballots with signatures
that did not match voter files were counted without being reviewed, more than
eight times the number the county acknowledged.
6.
50,000
Arizona ballots called into question. An
extensive audit by
Arizona’s Senate officially called into question more than
50,000 ballots cast in the 2020 election, including voters who cast ballots
from residences they had left. The tally in question is nearly five times the
margin of Joe Biden’s victory in the state.
7.
Illegal
ballot drop boxes. A
Wisconsin judge has ruled
the widespread use of ballot drop boxes in 2020 was unlawful, and
the state Supreme
Court let that ruling stand. That means drop boxes can’t be used in
future elections starting in April. It also means that tens of thousands of
ballots in the 2020 election were cast unlawfully.
8.
Foreign
voters found on Texas rolls.
An audit of Texas
voter rolls identified nearly 12,000 noncitizens suspected of
illegally registering to vote and nearly 600 cases in which ballots may have
been cast in the name of a dead resident or by a voter who may also have voted
in another state. Officials are now in the process of removing the foreign
voters and deciding whether prosecutions are warranted.
9.
Foreign
voters found on Georgia rolls. An audit by
Georgia’s Secretary of State has identified more than 2,000 suspected
foreigners who tried to register to vote in the state, though none reached the
point of casting ballots. Raffensperger says prosecutions may be forthcoming.
10.
Unconstitutional
mail-in voting. The
Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court has concluded the state law that
opened the door to no-excuse mail-in voting in 2020 was unconstitutional and
that mail-in voting can only be enacted by a constitutional amendment. “A
constitutional amendment must be presented to the people and adopted into our
fundamental law before legislation authorizing no-excuse mail-in voting can be
placed upon our statute books,” the court ruled. About 2.5 million voted by
mail in Pennsylvania in 2020, votes now called into question by the ruling.
11.
More
noncitizen voters. The Gableman
investigation in Wisconsin also found noncitizens had made it onto the state
voters rolls in violation of state law. The Wisconsin Election Commission
failed “to record non-citizens in the WisVote voter database, thereby
permitting non-citizens to vote, even though Wisconsin law requires citizenship
to vote — all in violation of the Help America Vote Act,” the investigator
wrote.
12.
Ballot
chain of custody issues. The
Georgia Secretary of State's office has opened an investigation into the
handling of drop box ballots last November in one of the state's Democratic
strongholds following a media report that
there were problems with chain of custody documentation in DeKalb County.
13.
Fulton
County irregularities.
Georgia’s handpicked election monitor for Fulton County, the state’s largest
voting district, documented two
dozen pages of mismanagement and irregularities during vote
counting in Atlanta in November 2020, including double-scanning of ballots,
insecure transport of ballots and violations of voter privacy. The revelations
prompted the state to take
steps to possibly put Fulton County in receivership, empowering
state officials to run the elections. Most of Fulton County's election
officials have left their jobs.
14.
Errant
vote counting. Georgia
Gov. Brian Kemp referred
the audited November 2020 election results in Fulton County to
the State Election Board after multiple reviews found three dozen significant
problems with absentee ballot counting, including duplicate tallies, math
errors and transposed data. Kemp’s referral calls into question hundreds of
ballots in the official count.
15.
Dirty
voter rolls. Michigan’s official state auditor
has found that Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson failed to adhere to state
election law by properly updating and reconciling Michigan’s qualified voter
roll. This oversight, according to the audit, increased the risk of ineligible
voters casting ballots.
16.
Illegal
exemptions from voter ID. The Wisconsin
Supreme Court ruled as many as 200,000 voters were allowed to
illegally skip voter ID for absentee ballots by claiming they were indefinitely
confined by COVID when there was no such legal authority to do so. Biden beat
Trump by about 20,000 votes in the state.
17.
Uneven
enforcement of election laws. The Wisconsin
Legislative Audit Bureau identified more than 30 problems with
the administration of elections in 2020, including unlawful orders and uneven
enforcement of the law and urged lawmakers to make sweeping improvements.
18.
More
illegal harvesting. In Arizona, a
half dozen people have already been indicted on charges of illegal harvesting in
a probe by Attorney General Mark Brnovich that shows signs of expanding. It
comes after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected Democrats' arguments and concluded
Arizona’s ban on harvesting was constitutional.
19.
Voter
fraud in Michigan. Michigan charged
three women in connection with voter fraud schemes, including
efforts to cast ballots on behalf of non-consenting nursing home residents.
20.
Still
more nursing home fraud. In
Wisconsin, Racine County
Sheriff Christopher Schmaling announced his investigators
have secured evidence that eight out of 42 residents at a local nursing home
had been recorded as casting absentee ballots that their families said was not
possible because the residents didn't possess the cognitive ability to vote.
