Massive Number Of Missing Ballots Foretold In Arizona Election Audit…Decertification Now Openly Discussed

Biden’s Attorney General Merrick Garland is attempting to put a chill in the air over states deciding to audit the 2020 elections.

Speaking on Friday regarding what the left misleadingly terms “voting rights” (all eligible adult U.S. citizens already have voting rights), Garland issued a not-so-subtle threat to states that are doing election audits.

The Department of Justice’s threat is a red flag to states that the federal government is poised to intervene if states conduct election audits. This should be prompting Republican-led legislatures to begin doing election audits immediately and passing voter integrity laws. The Democratic Party is obviously greatly concerned that elections in the U.S. scrutinize the eligibility of voters to cast ballots in state elections.

“We are scrutinizing new laws that seek to curb voter access and where we see violations we will not hesitate to act,” he said. “We are also scrutinizing current laws and practices in order to determine whether they discredit against black voters and other voters of color. Particularly concerning with in this regard are several studies showing that in some jurisdictions nonwhite voters must wait in line substantially longer than white voters to cast their ballots.”

“The Department of Justice will apply the same scrutiny to postelection audits, according to Garland, to make sure the election reviews fall in line with federal laws meant to protect records and guard against voter intimidation,” the Epoch Times reported.

“Garland referenced the audit taking place in Maricopa County, Arizona, on the orders of the Republican-controlled Senate in the state, noting that the Department of Justice previously sent a letter to Arizona Senate President Karen Fann expressing concern about the review,” the report continued. “Fann said in a response letter that the audit was secure and that a previous plan to canvass some voters was on hold indefinitely. The attempted intervention lacked constitutional authority, experts told The Epoch Times.”

There are absolutely no laws that will “restrict” access for those who can prove they have a right to vote in U.S. elections. A major study conducted by the National Bureau of Economic Research based on ten-years of voting data in the United States from 2008-2018 found that voter ID laws “have no negative effect on registration or turnout, overall or for any group defined by race, gender, age, or party affiliation.” The study was conducted by Enrico Cantoni at the University of Bologna and Vincent Pons at Harvard Business School and was published in February 2019.

This international study has been supported by additional research on the issue. “This latest [NBER] study echoes the conclusion of others, including a landmark report by The Heritage Foundation in 2007 finding that voter ID laws don’t reduce voter turnout, including among African-Americans and Hispanics,” the Heritage Foundation noted. “These voters were just as likely to vote in states requiring photo identification as in those that don’t.” Even left-leaning Vox News conceded that voter ID laws don’t reduce election turnout.

The Department of Justice is thus threatening states based on outright lies about voter integrity laws. This should be spurring red states to mobilize and pass the laws as soon as possible.

  1. Patrick Byrne released this message a couple of hours ago.

    Here is Patrick Byrne’s statement

    BREAKING: ‘Corporate Affiliates’ Donating to Two US Election Related Non-Profits Demonstrate the Corruption in the US Election Environment – Where Did the Money Go?

    Two of the major ballot printing shops in the United States certified to print Dominion paper ballot products, Runbeck Election Services in Tempe, Arizona, and the Fort Orange Press in Albany, NY, are both 2021 major donors to the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS) and the National Association of State Election Directors (NASED).

    Notably, Jocelyn Benson, Secretary of State of Michigan, is the current co-chair of the NASS Elections Committee.

    Election printers Fort Orange and Runbeck both donated $5,000 to NASED.

    Shockingly, Dominion Voting Systems, ES&S, and Hart InterCivic, the top election machine vendors in the United States also donated to NASS and NASED. In addition, Smartmatic donated to NASS.

    Both NASS and NASED refer to these donors as “corporate affiliates.” The entire list of NASS and NASED “corporate affiliates” should be viewed to understand the blatant corruption infecting the world which our top state election officials inhabit.

    It is an out-and-out flagrant conflict of interest for voting machine vendors, software designers, and voting machine ballot printers to be corporate donors to the 501(c)(3) nonprofit, alleged nonpartisan charities, NASS and NASED, which claim to represent 100% of the top U.S. election officials, both secretaries of state and states’ chief election officials.

    It should be recalled that I shared an article last week where the NASS and NASED(defined in the Byrnes statement below) arranged a meeting with certain global elements even while the US was in the very first few months of the US lockdown to setup ‘preparations’ for the ‘observation’ of the US 2020 election. These global elements included Facebook, the UN, Smartmatic, among many others. Here is that article citatation for any who missed it – it is all relevant to the Byrne’s statement above.

  2. Very concerning information on the machines has come to light and is discussed in the article below. If you are familiar with SQL queries(searches), this short explanation will be useless for you, and you should skip to the article below. If anyone isn’t familar with SQL queries, this might help, I hope:

    I heard about this being a likely possible issue with the electn machines from an associate who is knowledgeable of computer programing. Looks like his guess might have been accurate.

    For those who are unaware, SQL software is used to interact with an existing database, such as the election rolls.

    SQL is used to maintain or modify databases of often very large number of records such as, say, Walmart’s venders list or transactions credit card transactions or… It is very useful way to search/modify a large body of records.

    It can be used to search, edit or delete sections of a database or an entire database.

    You can think of the SQL being a way to search or access or modify a given section of a database(or the entire database) using a command.

    This command will sort the thousands or millions of records contained in the database based upon some distinguishing characteristic which specifies the target of the command.

    Like going to a library and pulling up all the books on cooking or just the ones depicting Chinese cooking or just the ones….you get the idea. Those records could be accessed, copied, deleted….again, you get the idea.

    Hope this doesn’t make the story more confusing.

    The implications are pretty significant as SQL is intended to make use of a database towards some purpose. The election rolls would reasonably be concluded to be the database in question and a legitimate purpose of the queries on this database are open to speculation.

    Developing: The Same Suspicious SQL Software Discovered in Michigan Dominion Voting Machines Was Just Found in Pennsylvania Dominion Voting Machines
    By Jim Hoft
    Published June 13, 2021 at 7:30am

    A recent election assessment conducted in Pennsylvania’s Fulton County and published in February 2021, found the existence of the Microsoft SQL database on the Dominion Voting Machines in the county.

    According to the Fulton County report, the analysts found “no valid reason” for the software to be installed on the system. They also reported that Dominion failed to fill out the appropriate forms regarding the software.

    This is the same software Michigan Attorney Matthew Deperno’s expert found on the Dominion machines as was demonstrated in Michigan.

    The software allows anyone with privileges to simply change values in the database directly in order to change the outcome of the election leaving no trace whatsoever. The Dominion system looks to the database for the values and uses whatever is there. It is outside of the logs or other election-related auditing record one would look for.

    Attorney DePerno reported on the unapproved SQL software was ALSO on the Michigan County machines!
    Via Dr. Danielle Blumenthal.

    On May 3, 2021, Attorney Matthew DePerno posted a court briefing alleging the election had been hacked.

    DePerno pointed to the presence of a deliberately installed, unapproved-for-election-systems software tool, in Antrim County, Michigan:

    “Cyber Ninjas discovered a Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio implant on the system.

    “This piece of software is not approved by the Election Assistance Commission (‘EAC’) and allows a user to actually circumvent security protocol and make ‘direct[] edit entries within the database’ which ‘could potentially be utilized to change vote values.’”

    “Perhaps most importantly, this software is a ‘separate install.’ In other words, it should not be on the system. It is, by its very definition, a hacking tool.”

    So we now have at least two instances where this unapproved SQL software was found on Dominion voting machines in at least two swing states.

    Nancy Pelosi and Democrats are attempting to ban paper ballots in the US — and force Americans to use only voting machines.

    Via Zachary Stieber at The Epoch Times:

    Wake TSI said in the 93-page report that was quietly published on the county’s website, with no public fanfare, in May.

    Wake TSI personnel did not conduct a technology forensic audit of the operating system or election management system (EMS) but did review some system file dates, log files, ballot images, and other files.

    Wake TSI said in its report summary that it found that the election “was well run, was conducted in a diligent and effective manner and followed the directions of Pennsylvania.” No anomalies were reported during the election process and expectations were that the assessment would not show any indications of fraud, error, interference, or misconduct.

    However, Wake TSI said it found five “issues of note,” including that Dominion failed to meet the commonwealth’s certification standards; that the election management system had Microsoft SQL Server Data Tools installed, despite the software not being part of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission’s certified configuration; and that changes were made to the management system just three weeks prior to the election.

    Assessors said there is “no valid reason” for the software to be installed on the system and that the presence “allows any user with access to change and manipulate the EMS databases without logging [recording] to the Database, EMS, or [operating system] logfiles.”

    They also said that Dominion failed to fill out a document that attests that the installed software versions conformed with certified reasons, with Dominion apparently claiming filling out the form was “optional.”

    Dominion Voting Systems disputed the report’s findings related to it.

  3. Anterim County case being submitted for reconsideration based on new evidence

    Michigan Plaintiff William Bailey Files a Motion For Reconsideration Following New Evidence of Antrim County Ballot Fraud
    June 11, 2021 | Sundance | 87 Comments

    Michigan attorney Matthew DePerno, on behalf of plaintiff William Bailey, files a motion [pdf available here] with Judge Kevin Eslenheimer for reconsideration of prior rulings given the nature of new evidence discovered by the legal team in Antrim County.

    The 42-page brief contains new findings within the data forensics of the county. Two larger items include the remote log-on of the system by someone anonymous who was not at the election office. The implication is that the system was connected to the internet; and the user did not have to enter identifying credentials for their entries.

    The second larger item is the identification of modifications, specific irregularities, of the ballots outer markings that led to a rejection of the ballots and the need for adjudication. [Full pdf is here]

    Here is a video where it is discussed by the plaintiff(the relevant portion starts at6:00min and continues for about 5min.)

  4. @Ted Belman

    They are debating the anger of 72 million voters vs. the potential decertification of multiple states

    It would seem these alphabet agencies would like people to accept that they are hiding nothing as they are simultaneously going to illegal measures of hiding everything.

    Further than this, they have actually taken part in at least one case of willful destruction of evidence, in GA and that was while Trump was still in office.

    The DOJ/FBI remain a partisan activist group, much as it was under Trump, only under Trump they worked at odds with the administration rather than for the administration.

  5. DEPERNO: “A source tells me Merrick Garland and the DOJ are weighing two options: 1) shut down the AZ audit by seizing everything now or 2) allowing the results to be published. They are debating the anger of 72 million voters vs. the potential decertification of multiple states.”

  6. @greenrobot

    Does Reader work at the DOJ ?

    Greenrobot, I congratulate you upon your superior rebuke to Reader’s suspicions in one line as compared to my more lengthy response.

    I will remember this for some time to come. Such poetry is clearly beyond my abilities, so thank you for sharing your keen wit and sharp abilities in such a perfect riposte to such an outrageous claim.

  7. @Reader
    Fraud can be pursued by any interested party, consequently, you are wise to suspect it from any corner or political persuasion.

    Those who would call for allowing a measure of trust in such matters as sensitive as elections should be considered most likely as being untrustworthy. Reagan is often quoted as having said “Trust but verify”, but the only part of that statement that warrants any trust is the word ‘verify’.

    The audit in AZ is being live streamed and recorded from 60 angles rather than being conducted behind locked doors with security to keep all observers out and using cardboard boxes to shutter even observation thru windows as was utilized by the Democrats during the fraudulent counting schemes.

    Observers are on site in AZ to review the process and offer any critiques or controversy as should be accepted in a fair review, which was missing on every level in Nov.

    Beyond this, you are also correct in your suggestion that the Republicans should be doing some soul searching, as the election was clearly stolen and they played a pivotal role in ignoring the reality of it in a timely manner and still oppose accepting it even today some 8 months later when only 1 state of 50 are looking at the fraud.

    The fraud, it should be assumed, was likely not only conducted by the Democrats, recall the AZ audit is opposed by a bipartisan group still to this day.

    If it were left to political parties alone, the AZ audit would still not have been conducted. It is the will of the people that brought this project forward and has included thousands of man-hours that are entirely being conducted by volunteers.

    The public are aware of the dozens of not, questionable but obvious fraud schemes that led to this theft-ed process and rejected it as acceptable.

    This is the reality of the political nature behind the audit – it’s not politically based, but has been opposed by a bipartisan opposition from the beginning.

    But we won’t know if we don’t look. And if we don’t look or can’t look at these ballots, why are many thousands of dollars being spent throughout the US on housing and protecting the ballots that can never be reviewed?

    It’s ridiculous to accept these matters as too certain to check. The Dems have hired over 100 high-priced attorneys to make certain their victory is not confirmed in a race where their victory was based on historic levels of support.

    It’s beyond absurd to suspect they are so certain of the falsity of fraud suspicions that they have spent millions of dollars in legal fees just to oppose the confirmation of their certain victory.

    Such logic is only sustainable in a partisan perspective.

    It is also unhelpful to suspect fraud from any angle where true daylight has been shown as completely as in the AZ audit.

    But there was no daylight behind the cardboard boxes that parted all trust from an open process of oversight in Nov, as it was the only way such massive fraud conducted on multiple levels by thousands of players acting on behalf and in coordination with many foreign nations, not the least of which were such friendly groups as China and Iran.

    We will see what comes from this audit, but you are beyond ridiculous to suggest that it is a wild political foray base upon a misguided purpose.

  8. Where is the guarantee that the audits will not be conducted fraudulently?

    Maybe it’s time the Republicans did some soul searching instead of accusing everybody and his grandmother of fraud?

  9. @Peloni you are correct, opposing by the AG of States auditing that voting was done correctly is not just ironic but reprehensible.

  10. The irony is overwhelming here. The gov’t agencies, whose only purpose is to provide for the proper support of the enforcement of law, ignored the matters related to the election fraud and, on occasion, actually destroyed evidence and undermined honest investigations of the fraud. These same agencies later selectively pursued legal persecution of specific members of the public(conservatives) following Jan. 6.

    And now they intend to usurp the State’s right to recognize the fraud and pursue legal remedy for the very same fraud that these agencies have first ignored and later aided in obscuring in the past many months. No reasonable person can entrust these watchdogs of election fraud to represent a fair arbiter of justice. These gov’t agencies have badly betrayed the public’s trust in them. Their further use in usurping the public’s will and the State’s process of review is intolerable.

    Some might pronounce such steps as tyranny.

    Senator Wendy Rogers of Arizona released this Tweeted response to Garland:

    You will not touch Arizona ballots or machines unless you want to spend time in an Arizona prison. Maybe you should focus on stopping terrorism. The Justice Department is one of the most corrupt institutions in the USA.
