Election Fraud Possibilities

Let’s connect the dots and try to wrap our heads around how the election could have been stolen.

Peter Navarro outlined the main types of irregularities. Under cover of Covid, enormous quantities of ballot applications and ballots were sent through the mail. Tampering could have occurred before, during, or after the postal process. Dropboxes even easier to stuff. Forward orders expired, or people expired, many could’ve had ballots cast on their behalf. Supposed safeguards include signatures, barcodes, and witnesses. But if the application is fraudulent, the rest is easy. As a mail carrier, I saw a lot of ballot request forms mailed to people who had long since moved. These applications were sent by the Center for Voter Information, and the Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State. This is all before the paper ballots are even fed into the tabulation machines.

Matt DePerno in Antrim County, Michigan, was able to obtain all the voting equipment needed to conduct a simulated election. After you fill out your paper ballot and feed it into the tabulation machine, the counter is incremented by one to assure you that your vote was counted. After polls close, the tabulation machine prints a paper ticket, similar to a cash register receipt, which shows the vote totals. This is compared to the logbook at the precinct, and along with a flash drive, goes to the county and state to be summed with all the others. The individual ballots are not inspected unless it is a close election, a candidate pays an expensive price for it, or it is one of a few precincts that are included in a post-election review (see below). DePerno‘s technical team was able to change the vote totals on the paper ticket, without regard to the ballots inside the machine. Using the Structured Query Language in the machine, they could change candidates’ vote totals to whatever they wanted, and precinct workers would not be able to tell, because all they see is the paper ticket. And apparently these tabulation machines are indeed connected to the Internet, perhaps through AT&T 4044O cell phone technology.

Mary Fanning informed us that there was a lot of Internet traffic on election night, which they traced to specific computers using their unique Internet Protocol addresses. The precise geographic latitude and longitude for these computers showed that they were in  ballot counting locations, communicating with computers in foreign locations, mostly China. There were hundreds if not thousands of these computers. Mike Lindell hired investigators to look at 18 of the lines on the list, and says they check out. Of course, it is difficult to get information from China without the help of people who live there. So, perhaps the tabulation machines were connected to the Internet, providing the actual totals to computers scattered throughout the world, perhaps to distribute the processing load, perhaps to avoid suspicion, and receiving fake totals from throughout the world, precisely tuned to avoid suspicion, to print on the paper ticket.

Doug Frank explains how and why the fake totals might have been precisely tuned to avoid suspicion. If you can change candidates’ vote totals to whatever you want, there is still the risk of adding too many, and if it exceeds the population, that raises suspicion. Frank was approached by a candidate who couldn’t believe she lost, because she was in a small district and knew a lot of the people there. Frank compared population data to voter registration and voter roll data for all age groups, and noticed a pattern based on the 2010 census. He saw two bumps in the population curve, for baby boomers and millennials, and concluded that a six degree polynomial was used to keep the totals realistic within each age group. After entering the data for a few counties, he could predict the voter totals for the remaining counties of a state. A team of canvassers went door-to-door, not to ask people how they voted, but to ask them whether they voted, or if they were even there. He predicted about 30% of the voters would not be real, and he was correct. And in a few places, votes did indeed exceed population, because 2010 was the most recent census the bad guys had to go off of. So, overseas computers could have manipulated the totals within the tabulation machines, and also perhaps the voter rolls, for mail-in voters if not in-person voters, as long as it did not exceed population or registration. But then there is still the question of those ballots that were counted by hand.

Tyler Kistner and others with the Minnesota Election Integrity Team filed a lawsuit in the Minnesota Supreme Court alleging irregularities with the Minnesota Post-Election Review, where they hand count a few precincts from each county. Officials allegedly failed to allow party balance, failed to allow observers within 6 feet, failed to count absentee and mail ballots separately from polling place ballots, failed to explain things properly, failed to fill out forms correctly, and other irregularities.

In summary, I’m still trying to see how all these pieces fit together. Is it the paper ballots, the machines, or both? It seems like it would be an enormous challenge to keep the two in sync. If you could doctor enough paper ballots beforehand, then you wouldn’t need an electronic cheat. Maybe an electronic cheat is needed to keep the numbers realistic, not too high, not too low. But then you’ve got to scramble to get the paper ballots to match. If I were designing a fraudulent tabulation machine, and no one could see inside, I would add a secret compartment pre-loaded with fake ballots to start the day. Periodically replace one ballot with another. The election officials conducting the post-election review would only have access to the compartment with the altered stack. But if I ran out of fake ballots, I would need to stop the counting process and scramble to get more paper ballots to match that electronic total. Lots of work, hard to imagine. But lots of irregularities. No matter who you believe, it’s hard to believe. I sure hope a satisfactory explanation for all of this emerges.
