Election 2020, Part 5: The First Invalid Presidential Election In Our History?

I have voted in every Presidential election for a lot of decades. I have never voted for a Republican for President and thus, I did not vote for Donald Trump either time. 

Thus, I think I can say without much bias that this just completed Presidential election is shaping up to be a disgrace to democracy given the highly likely it was corrupted, manipulated, and outright fixed by so many people and entities across the country. Ballots were lost, ballots were found in garbage cans, computers were hacked, computers inadvertently moved votes from one candidate to another, ballots showed up in polling places with no chain of command security protocols followed. Politicians announced results days before the voting took place.

I am sure some of the potential incidents of voter fraud and cheating were incorrect. But I am sitting on almost 200 news reports of, call them, “voting irregularities,” enough to convince me that this was the most dishonest, poorly handled, and obscene election that abuses the First Amendment rights and “one person, one vote” tenet that is basic to our democracy.

Over the next few days I will continue to pull out a lot of those 200 news reports and briefly discussing what allegedly happened. I can not say all of these news reports are true and I cannot say all of these news reports are false. 

But when people are arrested, when people admit on video that they cheated, when there are videos made of people delivering box loads of videos in the middle of the night, I think the evidence is pretty clear that the corruption in this election was real and widespread.

I am not to drawing any conclusions but consider the following reality: the voting locales where most of the corruption occurred was almost ALL in Democratic party controlled areas: Democratically controlled cities, Democratically controlled counties, and Democratically controlled states and happened only in states that were considered “swing state” in the election, in other words, the states that could go either way and a nudge here or a nudge there, from a voting corruption perspective could make all the difference.

The first 65 documented incidents of voting irregularities can be found at:



Each of these incidents are sourced by the organization that reported the voting fraud. I am not going to do a deep dive into each story but by providing the source, you can follow up and decide for yourself whether or not the voting fraud and corruption allegation is legit.

66) Let’s look at how some voting numbers either do not make sense, are highly unlikely or pure fraud:
  • In the latest vote count in Michigan, Trump has 2,637,173 votes and the Republican Senator on that ballot has 2,630,042 votes, a small difference of only 7,131 votes.
  • But Biden has 2,787,544 votes while the Democrat running for the Senate in the state has only 2,718,451 votes, a large difference of 69,093 votes, implying that the Democrats in the state either have a substantial dislike for the Democrat running for the Senate or someone stuffed the ballot box with Biden only votes.
  • The situation is the same for Georgia where Trump and the Republican candidate differ by only 818 votes after millions of votes were cast but Biden has over 95,000 more votes than the Democrat running for the Senate in that state.
  • A Michigan voter who was born in 1902 and who died in 1984 voted two weeks ago for President, highly unlikely.
  • Over 14,000 dead people in just the Detroit area were still registered to vote.
  • A poll watcher in Michigan was kicked out of the vote counting room when he noticed that a batch of ballots that were being counted all had the birth date of January 1, 1900.
  • The Public Interest Legal Foundation claims there are at least 21,000 dead people on Pennsylvania voting rolls: “As of October 7, 2020, at least 9,212 registrants have been dead for at least five years, at least 1,990 registrants have been dead for at least ten years, and at least 197 registrants have been dead for at least twenty years."
  • The Election Integrity Project California claims it has found 277,000 suspicious ballots that were mailed just in LA County this year.
  • These numbers include 4,800 duplicate ballots sent to the same person.
  • Judicial Watch claims that 352 counties in 29 states have more than 1.8 million voters than eligible voting age people living in the county: “In other words, the registration rates of those counties exceeded 100% of eligible voters. The study found eight states showing state-wide registration rates exceeding 100% including Michigan."
  • In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a state with substantial voting irregularities, a local newspaper found that 7 city wards had more votes than registered voters, in some cases the over voting was over 200%.
The numbers do not lie, something is rotten in the voting world.

67) Rudy Guliani, Trump’s point lawyer on the whole voter fraud effort, was recently interviewed on Fox Business and claimed the following was true:
  • There are 60 - 70 witnesses throughout Pennsylvania claim they were kept out of the rooms where the mail in ballots were being counted.
  • That allowed at least 135,000 ballots to be counted but not verified.
  • He also claimed that 300,000 ballots were counted but not observed by Republican observers.
  • As we have discussed in previous posts: “We have evidence now, from not only the Post Office but from others, that there was back-dating. I can only tell you right now that that amounts to about 2,000 or 3,000 votes.”
  • He says that the validity of 900,000 ballots will be called into question from a legal perspective.
68) United Patriot News - Prior to the election, liberal leaning and liberal loving PBS did an investigative news piece on the Dominion voting system that has caused many of the voting irregularities and what they found was not pretty or reassuring:
  • A white-hat hacker exploits computer systems or networks to identify security flaws and make improvement recommendations.
  • PBS Newshour had one named Harri Hursti who inspected the Dominion system and found that “they have set up a complicated system which is centralized; it doesn’t seem to have any safeguards.”
  • Hursti described the system by saying: “it’s an assortment of laptops, iPads, magnetic cards, touch screens, printers, and scanners.” What he meant was that it has a lot of moving parts, making it subject to failure.
  • PBS said that the devices replaced touchscreens in 2019, which didn’t create a paper ballot. 
  • Election experts have also found several troubling problems with the system, especially with the QR codes that it creates for tabulation: “Alex Halderman looked closely at the Q.R. codes, where the votes are encoded for the scanner. “By analyzing the structure of the Q.R. codes, I have been able to learn that there’s nothing that stops an attacker from just duplicating one, and the duplicate would count the same as the original barcode. And in late September, another concern came to light. During testing, election workers found half the names of the 21 candidates for the Senate intermittently disappeared from screens during the review phase. Dominion sent out a last-minute software patch.””
  • Finally, Halderman warned, “I’m worried that the Georgia system is the technical equivalent to the 737 MAX. They have just made a last-minute software change that might well have unintended consequences and cause even more severe problems on Election Day.”
Such is the low quality of prep that went into a vital democratic process.


69) Raw Conservative Opinions - In the span of two days, the Georgia audit of the election found two memory cards loaded with over 5,000 votes that were somehow never loaded into the final count of Georgia Presidential votes. The majority of the missing votes were for Trump. But the whole process raises a serious point: how is it possible to have a vote counting procedure that loads ballots onto unsecured memory cards that somehow get lost, taking the votes of thousands of people with them.

70) My Fellow American Poll - 52% of those polled by this organization believe that the current election results will be overturned and 38% believe they will stand with 10% undecided.

71) The GOP Times - Turns out that Dominion Systems, the software company that operates a lot of the voting systems across the country does a lot of its programming in Serbia and uses a proprietary software system that is not made available for independent sources to check the security of their code and processes.

72) Biz Pac Review - A reporter for the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Victor Joecks, ran an interesting election and voting experiment:
  • According to Nevada state law,“All mail ballots must be returned in an authorized ballot return envelope. … This signature is compared to the signature on file…and if the signature does not match, the ballot is rejected.”
  • That was the basis of his experiment.
  • His experiment went as follows: “I wanted to test the accuracy of signature verification, and I had nine volunteers. I signed their name as it appeared on the ballot. I took a picture of it and then I sent it to them and they copied my signature onto their ballot return envelope. That’s how it was legal but it was still a test, it wasn’t their signature.”
  • Eight of the nine ballots with bad signatures were accepted as legal and were included in the vote counts, i.e. 88% of the bad ballots were counted as legit.
  • He also found out that no one, yes no one, in the Clark County, Nevada voting organization is in charge of seeking out fraudulent ballots.
  • His conclusion: “The lack of interest by … election officials is simply concerning, and frankly irresponsible. It starts by digging into the data that’s already there, not just assuming that the election was conducted honestly and with integrity, but going to try and find out if anyone cheated and not expect them to come admit it after the fact.” 
In related news, Clark County officials decided to throw out the results of a close county commissioner race because of too many voting problems: “We have found discrepancies that we can’t explain that would cast a doubt on whether or not that margin of victory is solid,” said Registrar of Voters Joe Gloria, in reference to the commissioner  race.

Again, what a mess.

These are the next 7 (of 72) instances of voting fraud so far that have been alleged and reported. Again, some may not be true. But it is highly unlikely that all of them are empty, sour grapes of the losing side. The corruption is too wide, too consistent, too focused, and too overwhelming, as subsequent posts will show. 

And if true, many bad people have corrupted and damaged a fundamental right of freedom, the ability to have their vote counted and counted equally with other legal cast votes. Anything short of this high standard is wrong, dangerous, and treasonous. More to come.

By The Numbers: How Far The Journalism Professional Has Fallen From a Truth And Integrity Perspective - The Tara Reade Story

On a periodic basis we do some posts that fall under the theme of “by the numbers.” Rather than trust what the American political tells us about reality, we like to examine the real numbers and the real reality in the world to understand what is actually going on. Relying on politicians, and their cohorts in the media, to tell us what is reality is always a sucker bet. They have their own agendas and goals, usually centering around their needs and self-enrichment. So we need to look at the reality of the numbers to determine what is really going on.

Previous analyses of “by the numbers” can be accessed by entering the phrase in the search box above. This is the third and final post this month where we look at the numbers to truly find out how good, not likely, or bad, most likely, the American political class is doing in managing our tax dollars, protecting our freedoms, and resolving major issues that affect all of us. 

It has always been our position and opinion that an unbiased, aggressive, and truthful news industry is critical to freedom and democracy. A news and journalism industry with integrity and smarts allows the public to be educated in an unbiased way in order to make the correct decisions at voting time and also keep politicians and government employees in line from a corruption perspective.

Unfortunately, that is not the case with journalism and news reporting in this country today. Rather than be in integrity and report news and happenings in an unbiased, and straightforward, honest manner, news media sources and organizations today have decided that they want or do not want to support certain political entities and government institutions. As a result, their reporting is biased, incomplete, deviously deceptive, and a disgrace.

No where has this disregard for truth and integrity been more obvious than the recent news about a woman named Tara Reade. Ms. Reade has come forward, with some pretty good evidence, that Presidential candidate Joe Biden brutally sexually assaulted her many, many years ago when he was a Senator. 

When these types of accusations were leveled at then Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, the left leaning news outlets in this country went into a detailed feeding frenzy about how the, now discredited, women had accused Kavanaugh of similar actions. The news was biased and unfair and basically assumed that Kavanaugh was guilty of heinous actions before the facts and discussion had even started, before he could even speak up in his defense.

And of course, Democrats were more than happy to get into the act in order to attack and undermine their mortal enemy, President Trump. Never mind facts, never mind that all of the women coming forth to accuse Kavanaugh had little if any evidence to prove their accusations, the press and Democrats attacked an innocent man with a vengeance that was unfair and unwarranted, using unfounded sexual accusations as justification.

But Tara Reade comes along and makes the same accusations that Kavanaugh had to endure against a major Democrat, Joe Biden. If the world was just and the left leaning media and Democrats were unbiased and within integrity, then we should expect a media storm assuming that Biden was guilty of heinous acts against Ms. Reade and then make Biden prove that Reade is a liar, much like they did with the Kavanaugh accusations. But as the numbers show, as of a week ago, the hypocrisy of the press and Democrats is unbelievable:
  • The Media Research Center has put together some numbers on the coverage of the Tara Reade accusations.
  • A month after the accusations came to light, ABC News and NBC News spent a combined total of 0 minutes covering the story.
  • CBS News had spent 63 second covering the story.
  • PBS had given it 7 minutes of coverage.
  • MSNBC spent only 4 minutes on the story.
  • CNN spent 0 minutes on the coverage until the MRC posted CNN’s own video from 1993 which seemed to validate Reade’s accusation, 31 days after the Reade accusations became public.
  • And it was not like the networks and news organizations could not ask Biden about the accusations since Biden recently did interviews on ABC, NBC, CNN, and MSNBC.
  • But of the 77 questions he was asked during these interviews by all of these news organizations, not a single question pertained to Ms. Reade.
  • They ignored the issue even though a Larry King clip from his CNN show seemed to capture a call in from Ms. Reade’s mom discussing the alleged assault by Biden.
  • And CNN still did not address the scandal.
  • Thus, during the month since Ms. Ready made her accusations public, the major news organizations across the country spent a total of 27 minutes addressing the accusations.
  • CNN scheduled three get togethers with Biden and during those three interviews asked him 33 questions, none of which had to do with Reade.
  • MSNBC interviews with Biden asked him 22 questions none of which involved Ms. Reade.
  • So let’s do the math: 6 major news organizations (ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN,MSNBC, and PBS) times 30 days times 24 hours a day equals 4,320 hours of news broadcasting time.
  • 27 minutes on the accusations results in the major news outlets spending .01% of their broadcast time covering a major sex scandal involving a Presidential candidate. 
  • In a surprising change of attitude, the usually left biased New York Time actually did a story on her accusations, discussing in great detail the accusation that Biden “pinned her to a wall in a Senate building, reached under her clothing and penetrated her with his fingers.”
  • And it was not just news entities that refused to acknowledge the accusations since during a 24 minute interview on The Late Late Show, Biden was asked 0 questions on the Reade accusations. 
  • Compare this hypocritical paltry coverage to the coverage of the unfounded sex accusations against Kavanaugh.
  • Within 12 days of the accusations arising about Kavanaugh, ABC, NBC and CBS devoted six hours to the unsubstantiated accusations.
  • These six hours do not include the coverage that CNN, MSNBC, and PBS devoted to the Kavanaugh issue.
  • So in 12 days, just the three networks, ABC, NBC,and CBS, used up six HOURS of coverage while in the first 30 days of the Reade accusations, these networks plus CNN, MSNBC, and PBS devoted only 24 MINUTES to the coverage.
  • During the Kavanaugh circus, the networks and others on the left kept putting forth the mantra, “believe all women,” regardless if there is any proof to the allegations.
  • During the Reade accusations, the same news organizations have more or less “ignored all women,” namely Tara Reade.
You get the point: the biased coverage of both situations, the over coverage of the Kavanaugh situation and the under coverage of the Tara Reade situation shows in stark contrast how far the journalism profession and the news entities in this country have fallen from the high journalistic standards of the four “Cs”: context, correctness, clarity, and communication. This is just the most obvious example where journalists today are not only failing their industry but failing the country, refusing or unable to provide unbiasedness, truth and integrity in their reporting. 

And as a free people, we are far worse off. We have survived bad leaders, inept and corrupt politicians, stupid government programs. I'm not sure we can survive as a free country when the main bastion against tyranny, a free, unbiased press no longer exists. The numbers don't lie.

Note: since the MRC article containing the above analysis was published, a few of the news entities have devoted more time to the accusations, probably not because they wanted to but because the issue, the elephant in the room, became too large to ignore any longer.
