Voter Fraud by Tom Reynolds
Less than ten years ago, the Democrat Party was in the minority in the NYS Senate. They were afraid that the majority Republican Party would use their power in redistricting after the 2020 census, so the Democrats agreed to back a constitutional amendment aimed at preventing the majority party from abusing their redistricting ability. Then, to their surprise, the Democrats won the majority in the Senate and they now want to change that amendment, before it is ever used, so that the majority party can abuse redistricting.
Not stopping with just redistricting, the Democrats want to further their environmentalist and accessibility credentials by creating an environment where voter fraud and cheating and abuse of power are much more accessible to the average politician.
Three of the five proposals on the back of Tuesday’s ballot have to do with voting and redistricting. Proposal One would create a redistricting scenario that would allow the Democrat Party to be forever in power. Proposal Three and Four would facilitate fraud and cheating through relaxed voter registration and absentee ballot requirements.
But, but, but…the Left and its media partners claim there is no voter fraud. Perhaps we should look closer at Arizona to see if that claim holds any water.
The Maricopa County Arizona audit is important because Joe Biden won Maricopa County by 45,000 votes but he only won the entire state by 10,500 votes. Obviously, Maricopa County was the key to his win. If there was sufficient voter fraud, the Electoral College certification of Biden, in Arizona, was wrong. (It would still stand.) And if Arizona was wrong, could it have happened in other states?
After the Maricopa County Arizona audit, the leftist media published that the vote counts barely changed; anyone claiming there was fraud (like Donald Trump, for instance) were labelled as “falsely claiming” there was fraud. But the devil-is-in-the-details, which tell a completely different story - that the Left ignores.
Here are some of the key audit findings:
- 23,344 mail-in ballots by people who moved before 10/5/20. Mailed ballots are not forwardable per election law.
- 2,382 in-person voters had moved out of Maricopa County prior to 10/5/2020.”
- Note: Voters who moved out of Maricopa County between 10/5/20 and 11/3/20 were still legally entitled to vote in the presidential election. The above two categories moved out before 10/5/20 and were ineligible for presidential elections. But somehow, they voted.
- 9,041 more ballots returned by voters than were sent to voters;
- 5,295 voters with the same first, middle and last name and the same birth date voted in two different Arizona counties;
- 2,592 more duplicates than original ballots”. (Note: A duplicate ballot was created because of a problem with the original ballot that could be cured with a duplicate ballot);
- 1,551 more votes cast than voters. (Note: Votes cast would be expected to be less- not more - than voters since voters do not always vote in every election on the ballot.)
- 282 individuals who were deceased prior to 10/5/20 voted in the election.
Numerous other problems are listed, such as voters whose ballots were counted despite the fact that they registered to vote after the state deadline for registration had already passed.
Maricopa election officials provided simplistic explanations and the leftist media parroted the Maricopa explanations as “nothing to see here”. Instead, the leftist media were able to claim that the election results remained almost the same. (Note: In a secret ballot and there is no way to tell for who got the illegitimate votes.) It seemed as if there would be no follow up to the issues raised by the audit even though there appear to be potential crimes. (Note: the FBI is probably too busy investigating parents at school board meetings to worry about voter fraud.)
Then, this past Friday:
According to Arizona Senate President Karen Fann, Arizona’s Attorney General Mark Brnovich has opened a “formal investigation” into any misconduct by Maricopa County election officials. This decision comes following the revelations found in Arizona’s independent election audit. Fann said, “Some of that report is inconclusive…And the reason why it is inconclusive is because Maricopa County did not turn over the routers, did not (turn) over the splunk logs. They have now admitted before Congress that they deleted files the day before everything was supposed to be turned in and over to us.” Before Congress, they said that they had to delete them to make room for an upcoming election. But Fann continued, “Congressmen then pointed out that there were still elections on the server from previous – before 2020 - and they couldn’t explain why that was.” When they said, “don’t worry, the deleted files are on a backup archive”, Congressman Biggs asked “did you turn that over to the auditors in the Senate”? They said, “well, no, they didn’t subpoena our backup archives.”
By the way, in covering this issue, the leftist media fact checkers labelled as false that Maricopa officials deleted the information and fact checkers explained that it is on backup drives; omitting that Maricopa isn’t turning them over and omitting that there was no need to delete it to make space.
“I mean, you don’t hold information from the voters and the constituents and just think you are going to get away with it,” Fann said.
Obviously, Fann isn’t familiar with New York State.
And then there is Proposal Two that disguises a political power grab behind words about clean water, air and a healthful environment. Approving this Amendment would give the left one more hammer with which to hit the 2nd Amendment or anything else they oppose. They are already trying to ban lead ammunition and a constitutional amendment gives them one more weapon.
2A supporters are hopeful the Supreme Court will give us a victory this year but this election is an attempt to snatch defeat from victory. Off year elections, such as this one, generally do not get much turnout. It’s vital that 2A supporters rouse themselves, and their fellow 2A supporters, to vote.
