The enormous evidence for why Pennsylvania doesn’t need a recount, but an entire new election​

Evidence shows that hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvania votes were lost, glitched, or illegally handled

Wed Nov 18, 2020

November 18, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – . . . . Just in the last six weeks, county officials have confirmed that hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvania ballots have been lost, delayed, misprinted, or even destroyed. Countless other ballots were mishandled by postal workers or election officials following illegal guidance from the Department of State that disproportionately benefitted Democrats.

While Pennsylvania leadership has celebrated the general election in the state as “incredibly safe and secure,” Trump’s top attorney Rudy Giuliani captured it more accurately as a “disaster.” Below is a breakdown of the many snafus that made Pennsylvania’s election one of the most poorly-run in modern American history – a failure that demands not just an audit or a recount, but a complete do-over.

Thousands, if not tens of thousands, of mail-in ballots for the general election simply disappeared. As of October 29, nearly 75% of the 40,000 mail-in ballots requested in predominately Republican Butler County never were returned. The county elections bureau has estimated that thousands have been irretrievably lost, blaming the USPS, which denies responsibility.

On November 6, Berks County reported the loss of several hundred ballots, which allegedly went missing at a mail center. Election officials offered little hope for affected voters. The chairman of the election board said, “It’s unfortunate, but there’s no playbook.” . . .

. . . Multiple counties have experienced illegal ballot tampering and spoilage problems. . .

The Georgia Governor & Secretary of State are corrupt. There was rampant voting fraud in GA depriving President Trump of a landslide win. It will not stand. Trump won.

Georgia​

A federal judge in Georgia rejected an election lawsuit brought by a Republican elector, Lin Wood, who had alleged in court constitutional violations, perceived fraud in the presidential election and sought to block the certification of election results.

“There’s no doubt an individual’s right to vote is sacrosanct,” Judge Steven Grimberg in the Northern District of Georgia said Thursday evening. But, that “does not mean individual voters have the right to dictate” how votes are cast or decided to be counted.

“It’s not for the courts to meddle with” processes set by the states, he added.

Wood’s attorney indicated earlier on Thursday that he may want to try for a second round before the judge, representing the Trump campaign as it seeks to block a Biden win. But Grimberg’s ruling on Thursday, spoken from the bench, shuts down new rounds of lawsuits in multiple ways.

Grimberg decided that the elector in Georgia didn’t have the ability to show he could bring a case, didn’t have an avenue in court under the law and had sued far too late to affect the election.

“I didn’t hear any justification for why the plaintiff delayed bringing this claim until two weeks after this election and on the cusp of these election results being certified,” Grimberg, a Trump appointee, said. Absentee ballot counting in Georgia, which Republicans were challenging in the lawsuit, started months ago, he noted.

They can’t publish the stories fast enough, I just heard something about PA. We will see if it pans out.
 
Some will wait till the inauguration of Biden. Others will never admit defeat, Trump for one, as well as his most fervent supporters. I predict four more years of bickering, protests, and violent clashes. Hopefully, something good will result from the Biden administration to offset all the noise and paranoia. At least the pandemic will, I think, subside eventually due to the vaccine, and the economy rebound. We should be thankful for that much.

Well, Trump is trying to browbeat the vote counters:

"After failing repeatedly in court to overturn election results, President Trump is taking the extraordinary step of reaching out directly to Republican state legislators as he tries to subvert the Electoral College process, inviting Michigan lawmakers to meet with him at the White House on Friday.

A source with knowledge of the trip said that Mr. Trump would meet with Michigan’s Senate majority leader, Mike Shirkey, and speaker of the House, Lee Chatfield, late Friday afternoon. Both lawmakers are Republicans who have said that whoever has the most votes in Michigan after the results are certified will get the state’s 16 electoral votes.

The White House invitation to Republican lawmakers in a battleground state is the latest — and the most brazen — salvo in a scattershot campaign-after-the-campaign waged by Mr. Trump and his allies to cast doubt on President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s decisive victory."


This is just out of bounds. What next – call any judge hearing an election case on the phone?

Pennsylvania​

A state judge in Pennsylvania rejected an attempt by the Trump campaign to throw out more than 2,000 absentee ballots for technical reasons.

The Trump campaign has made several attempts to throw out absentee ballots in Pennsylvania courts, and Judge Robert Baldi of the Bucks County Court of Common Pleas on Thursday ruled that throwing out the absentee ballots would disenfranchise voters.

The case was not among those where the Trump campaign has alleged fraud. Instead, the campaign had argued the state should enforce rules about when absentee ballots should or should not be counted, taking issue with 2,177 ballots in Bucks County that were in an unsealed privacy envelope or lacked handwritten dates, names or addresses on their outer envelopes.

Those ballots will be counted, Baldi ordered.

The Trump campaign has lost several similar bids attacking small numbers of absentee ballots in two other counties.

Baldi, in his opinion on Thursday, made clear fraud was not an issue.

“It must be noted that the parties specifically stipulated in their comprehensive stipulation of facts that there exists no evidence of any fraud, misconduct, or any impropriety with respect to the challenged ballots. There is nothing in the record and nothing alleged that would lead to the conclusion that any of the challenged ballots were submitted by someone not qualified or entitled to vote in this election,” he wrote. “At no time did Petitioners present evidence or argument to the contrary.”

In a sworn declaration, a respected mathematician says his analysis of election data and phone interviews with Pennsylvania voters raises questions about as many as 100,000 absentee ballots requested in the key battleground state where President Trump and Joe Biden are separated by just about 82,000 votes.

Williams College Professor Steven Miller, a Yale and Princeton trained math expert, said he analyzed Pennsylvania ballot data collected by former Trump campaign data chief Matt Braynard as well as 2,684 voter interviews conducted by a phone bank and found two concerning patterns. One involved possible votes that were not counted, the other ballots that appeared to be requested by someone other than a registered voter.

“I estimate that the number of ballots that were either requested by someone other than the registered Republican or requested and returned but not counted range from 89,397 to 98,801,” Miller said in the sworn statement provided to Just the News.

According to Pennsylvania state data for early and absentee ballot requests, there are roughly 165,000 ballots requested in the names of registered GOP voters that had not been counted as of Nov. 16.

Federal Election Commission Chairman Trey Trainor told Just the News that Miller’s analysis provides fresh evidence of potential voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.

“This data, which is provided by an expert witness, who would be qualified in almost any court in the country, adds to the conclusions that some level of voter fraud took place in this year’s election,” Trainor said.

The conspiracy theorists are out in force on this voting thing.

I don’t find any of this credible at all. It’s like the country is driving down an interstate out west at night listening to all sorts of crazy talk show hosts on AM radio.

Again, I think when all of those states decided to stop counting at the same time is one of the key events that looks very suspicious.

Which states? Did they actually stop counting, or stop reporting?
 
From the news I have been able to find out about this.

A Pennsylvania county court judge ruled that these ballots are to be counted.
However, this case is now going to be decided by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court
https://www.google.com/amp/s/pittsb...ail-in-ballots-without-declaration-dates/amp/

This case and these ballots are especially significant for the Pennsylvania state Senate seat.

Republican senate candidate Nicole Ziccarelli is 28 votes behind the Democrat, Jim Brewster.
 
This is unusual. I was listening to NPR and the used the L-word with respect to Trump’s declaration. They said that “he continues to lie about the election.” Usually I see reports dance around that word.

This has been a problem for authoritative news media from the start of Mr Trump"s political career. Journalists are used to “One Side Says This, T’other Side Says That” reporting, as though reporting two sides is the responsible thing to do. Usually it is. Gradually, however, they have come to realise that when the President consistently lies, saying “Trump Says This But Someone Else Says That” is not responsible journalism. Gradually they have come to realise that if the President continuously lies, honest journalism is to say so. NPR may have come late to that recognition.
