Georgia Poll Workers Who Raised Election Concerns Get Terminated

https://www.theepochtimes.com/...reaking-2020-12-18-4

Poll workers in Georgia who raised concerns about election irregularities were informed this week that their contracts are not being renewed, according to letters obtained by Epoch Media Group.

Bridget Thorne and Susan Voyles say they witnessed abnormal actions taken during the election in Fulton County. They’ve spoken to news outlets and state legislators about what they saw.

In the new letters, Dwight Brower, elections consultant for the Fulton County Department of Registration and Elections, informs the women that Georgia law enables officials to appoint poll managers, and managers must be reappointed for each election event.

“There are many factors (management skills, performance, actions, behavior, etc.) considered prior to making reappointments for each primary or election. Unfortunately, a decision has been made to not reappoint you in a poll management or other poll positions in Fulton County,” Brower wrote.

“I see it as a direct consequence of my being honest,” Voyles told NTD, which is part of Epoch Media Group.

“In that oath, we say that I will, to the best of my abilities, make sure there is no fraud, deceit—it kind of goes on down like this,” Voyles added. “So I saw what I was doing was an extension of my job as a poll manager. In other words, I had seen fraud I had seen deceit, I had seen the things that in our poll reading we were warned to stay away from and to report if we see them. I did, and in this case, at this point, the truth was not received well.”

A Fulton County spokeswoman didn’t respond to requests for comment.

Garland Favorito, co-founder of watchdog group Voters Organized for Trusted Election Results in Georgia, told NTD that the poll workers being terminated is worrisome.

“It’s a tremendous concern, not just for me, but for all the voters in the state of Georgia who are informed about this situation. Because basically, these whistleblowers, who are trying to correct the fraud in Fulton County, have now been terminated,” he said. “And the people who actually appear to have committed the fraud on election night, by illegally scanning 20,000 ballots into the Fulton County system after they told the monitors that we’re not going to scan anymore, those people appear to still be able to count the votes for the upcoming U.S. Senate race. So everyone is asking, ‘Why?'”

Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said in a statement on Friday that Fulton County should rehire Voyles and Thorne.

“I condemn in the strongest terms the decision by Fulton County elections officials to fire two poll managers purely for raising concerns about the November elections,” the Republican said. “Though we have found no credible evidence of widespread fraud, it is important that individuals can raise their voice when they believe they have seen wrongdoing. Retribution against whistle blowers poses a threat to the continued strength and vibrancy of our democracy.”

Voyles said in her affidavit and subsequent testimony to state lawmakers during a public hearing on the election that she found a batch of “pristine” ballots that were all marked exactly the same. She said approximately 98 percent of that batch were for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.

“In my 20 years’ of experience of handling ballots,” she said, “I observed that the markings for the candidates on these ballots were unusually uniform, perhaps even with a ballot-marking device.”

Thorne told NTD earlier this month that she saw the ballots from early voting dumped in the election warehouse in Fulton County.

“Being a precinct manager, it was just upsetting just to see people dumping these ballots out into suitcases and there was no security. There was no chain of command,” she said. “I could have walked out of the building with a whole suitcase of ballots if I wanted to. There was nobody holding me accountable.”

Across multiple days, ballots weren’t verified as real, she alleged, recounting seeing two workers printing ballots late one night.

“And I just realized, anybody could print any kind of ballot they wanted here, they had access,” she added.

They’re among a number of witnesses who have said they saw irregularities unfold before, during, and after the election.

Carlos Silva, a registered Democrat, and Robin Hall said in affidavits that they saw ballots similar to the batch Voyles talked about. Silva and two others said they saw ballots cast for Trump being placed in stacks for Biden.

“I noticed they all had a perfect black bubble and all were Biden select,” Silva wrote in a sworn affidavit. “I heard them go through the stack and call out Biden’s name over 500 times in a row.”

And Debbie Fisher, a poll observer in Cobb County, told NTD that she saw people enter the precinct at a library and receive absentee ballots, which are supposed to be sent by mail.

“They merely filled out an affidavit saying they had not voted and then they were allowed to vote like everyone else,” Fisher said.

Georgia officials have insisted the election was run smoothly, even as they misrepresented a supposed burst pipe on Election Day and reported thousands of new ballots, mostly for President Donald Trump, during a hand audit. They have also challenged accusations surrounding video footage that showed ballot counting observers and media leave State Farm Arena on election night, and workers resume counting with no oversight.

Officials announced this week they’d conduct a statewide signature audit to try to restore faith in the election process.

“Frankly, there’s been no investigatory rationale for it. At this point, it has become such a drumbeat of disinformation, we now feel obligated to restore confidence in the process by doing it,” Gabriel Sterling, voting systems implementation manager for the Secretary of State’s office, told reporters.

Even as they’ve defended the election, state officials have targeted Fulton County.

Officials are seeing “managerial sloppiness” and “chain of custody” issues in the county, Sterling said last month. Raffensperger said the county “cut corners” during the second recount, leading to a Dominion Voting Systems server crash.

Fulton County Board of Commissioners Chairman Rob Pitts told reporters at State Farm Center that he’s “still not clear as to why” officials like Raffensperger “continue to pick on Fulton County, Georgia.”

“We’re the largest county in the state of Georgia, the largest of 159. I cannot speak to what the other 158 counties in Georgia are doing. But I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that within Fulton County, Georgia, there was no hanky panky whatsoever with respect to the recent election, zero,” he said.

Maricopa County Board Votes Against Complying With Subpoenas to Audit Voting Machines

https://www.theepochtimes.com/...achines_3624736.html


The Board of Supervisors in Arizona’s Maricopa County on Friday voted 4-1 to file a complaint in the Arizona Superior Court and won’t comply with state Senate-issued subpoenas to hand over voting machines used in the Nov. 3 election for an audit, as well as an audit of scanned ballots.

A lawsuit will be filed against lawmakers in the Arizona State Legislature to block the enforcement of the subpoenas, county officials said.

The subpoenas were issued earlier this week by the Senate Judiciary Committee. Chairman Eddie Farnsworth, a Republican, had issued the subpoena to audit Dominion Voting Systems machines and ballots in the county, with a deadline for Friday at 5 p.m.

Maricopa County Chairman of the Board Clint Hickman, a Republican, said during Friday’s session the subpoenas were unconstitutional and a “slap in the face.”

“I am very disappointed of the subpoenas that were sent over to the county. I believe [Farnsworth] knows better. He’s an attorney, a very experienced lawmaker. He’s been there for a very long time. And he’s very smart. I’ll be the first to say he is one of … the most smartest members of the legislature walking down there. And he knows better,” supervisor Steve Gallardo added. Gallardo and the other supervisors said they are concerned about how private voter information would be handled in an audit of the machines.

Other than Hickman and Gallardo, Board members Jack Sellers and Bill Gate voted in favor of rejecting the subpoenas and filing a lawsuit against the state legislature. The lone dissenting vote was cast by Board member Steve Chucri.

After the vote, the Arizona Republican Party wrote that the Board of Supervisors voted “to resist [and] fight the legislative subpoenas,” adding that Chucri dissented from the other Board members “in favor of a transparent audit.”

Following the vote, the Arizona GOP’s chairwoman, Kelli Ward, said that Maricopa County previously “agreed in open court to audit more ballots but it simply decided not to finish doing so.”

Farnsworth said during a hearing this week that he believes county officials did the best they could, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t anomalies.

“It doesn’t mean that there aren’t concerns and it doesn’t mean that the voters aren’t justified in wanting to make sure that it was done properly. And I will never apologize for making sure that we, in turn, turn over those rocks and look underneath to make sure that everything was done properly,” he said.

“The goal is to verify the machines did what they are supposed to do,” Republican Senate President Karen Fann said in explaining why a subpoena should be issued, according to an AZCentral report earlier this week.

Fann told the Washington Examiner: “One subpoena calls for a scanned ballot audit, to collect an electronic ballot image cast for all mail-in ballots counted in the November 2020 general election in Maricopa County, Arizona. The second subpoena calls for a full forensic audit of ballot tabulation equipment, the software for that equipment and the election management system used in the 2020 general election.”

Maricopa County GOP Chairwoman Linda Brickman had told Arizona legislators on Dec. 1 that she saw ballots cast for Trump being tallied for Joe Biden when they were entered into voting machines last month. Brickman said that she and her Democratic partner witnessed it “more than once.” The chairwoman also alleged she faced threats and intimidation from election supervisors at the Maricopa County Tabulation and Election Center after she raised red flags about what she saw.

Dominion Voting Systems CEO John Poulos recently responded to allegations that the company’s voting machines can switch votes.

“No one has produced credible evidence of vote fraud or vote switching on Dominion systems because these things have not occurred,” he said during a hearing with Michigan state legislators on Tuesday, adding that both he and his employees have faced death threats amid allegations that the Dominion machines were used to commit election fraud.

Dominion representatives have also repeatedly said that the voting machines were certified by the federal Election Assistance Commission, cannot switch votes from one candidate to another, and that the company has no ties to foreign governments.

However, a forensic audit report from Allied Security Operations Group released on Monday of Dominion machines and software in Michigan’s Antrim County’s found that the company’s voting system “is intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results.” The audit team said the system is “intentionally” designed to create “an enormously high number of ballot errors.”

They have until January 20th to make this right.

After that, those drunk on power and influence will begin to realize how fragile and fleeting life can be.

If it stands, we will never again be the same as a country.
It MUST be made right.

This is worth repeating.

There is no alternative for us.

These monsters have destroyed all faith in our election process as part of their coup to seize the country.

If this is not corrected, our country is done.

Redacted Information in Dominion Audit Report Shows Races Were Flipped: Analyst

https://www.theepochtimes.com/...analyst_3625228.html

The analyst who led the forensic audit of Dominion Voting Systems in Michigan said on Friday the information state officials pushed to redact shows that the outcomes of races were changed.

“The original report had log evidence that we published in the report to show exactly what we did and exactly the findings. Now, those did ultimately get redacted. And so now, the complaint is ‘well, but there’s no real proof and Dominion says ‘no, these things can’t be done,'” Russell Ramsland Jr. said during a virtual appearance on Newsmax’s “Greg Kelly Reports.”

“But at that point, Dominion’s argument is no longer with us. Dominion’s argument is with their own user’s manual and their own logs, because the logs—had they been able to be published—show very clearly that the RCV [ranked-choice voting] algorithm was enacted. It shows very clearly that the error messages were massive. It was very clearly [sic] that races were flipped,” he added.

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson’s office didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Ramsland and his team at Allied Security Operations Group earlier this month audited Dominion machines and software in Antrim County, where officials on election night reported a win for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. The officials later said the results were skewed and that President Donald Trump actually received more votes in the county.

The audit was the first conducted post-election of Dominion products. It was part of a court case.

Lawyers for Benson, a Democrat, asked 13th Circuit Judge Kevin Elsenheimer in court last week to order the redaction of the logs before allowing the release of the report, arguing the logs might be source code and publishing them could be a security issue. Matthew DePerno, the lawyer for the plaintiff in the case, said the logs were just setting errors that Ramsland’s team found.

Elsenheimer ultimately sided with the state, saying he didn’t want to allow the release of potentially propriety information. The judge said he might allow an unredacted version of the report to be released in the future.

In the audit, Ramsland said his team concluded Dominion’s voting system “is intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results.”

“The system intentionally generates an enormously high number of ballot errors. The electronic ballots are then transferred for adjudication. The intentional errors lead to bulk adjudication of ballots with no oversight, no transparency, and no audit trail. This leads to voter or election fraud. Based on our study, we conclude that the Dominion Voting System should not be used in Michigan. We further conclude that the results of Antrim County should not have been certified,” he added in the report.

Officials disputed the findings in a court filing, alleging the report “makes a series of unsupported conclusions, ascribes motives of fraud and obfuscation to processes that are easily explained as routine election procedures or error corrections, and suggests without explanation that elements of election software not used in Michigan are somehow responsible for tabulation or reporting errors that are either nonexistent or easily explained.”

Before the report was released, Benson’s office noted the audit had happened, while urging voters to “be wary of false claims.”

Benson said after the report was made public that the Nov. 3 election in the state and across the country “was the most secure in the nation’s history” and alleged “there continues to be no evidence of widespread fraud.”

Dominion’s CEO John Poulos in a state Senate hearing this week disputed the report’s conclusions, and the company said in a statement that “the claims made in the report are technologically impossible,” adding, “Dominion machines did not—and could not have—’switched’ or enabled the ‘switching’ of any votes.”

Perno on Friday said on Twitter he was looking forward to Benson’s deposition.

Ramsland on Newsmax predicted the emergence of more explosive information soon.

“I think that there’s going to be some information [to] come forth in the next few days, that is going to drastically change the playing field,” he said.

“And the real question is, will people report on it? We’ll see.”

‘Simple Math’ Shows Biden Claims 13 MILLION More Votes Than There Were Eligible Voters Who Voted in 2020 Election

This message has been edited. Last edited by: kimber1911,

^^^^ But but some of the experts one here tell us that the Biden voters just dutifully stayed home because the very deadly virus that has killed hundreds of thousands of people. They were simply motivated to vote on election day. Oh, and also the millions of the 2016 Trump voters that subsequently switched to Biden because they can't stand Trump's style. That's why Trump lost, don't you know. There was no fraud widespread enough to to alter the outcome of the election. There was no systemic fraud coordination from the Dems. No sir, none. Biden won. Trump lost. Move on, already.

Pretty bitchin'...

The president calls for a massive rally in DC on January 6, "Be there, will be wild." https://www.thegatewaypundit.c...an-6-says-will-wild/

If he goes, he will not go meekly. This, I think, is step one of endless resistance to the commie regime.
