The AZ state legislature does not appear to be impressed by the Secretary of State’s decision to certify the election results while the ongoing hearings were proving the massive amount of vote fraud that took place in the state:

Arizona state representative Mark Finchem (district 11) on Monday issued a call to withhold the state’s Electoral College votes for Joe Biden because “he believes there is enough significant evidence of fraud to invalidate the state’s votes.”

President Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and Trump campaign senior legal advisor Jenna Ellis appeared before Arizona state lawmakers in a public hearing on Monday. 

The hearing was chaired by Representative Mark Finchem with a number of House and Senate members on the hearing panel. Trump’s legal team brought out many credible witnesses again on Monday who testified on the Dominion voting machines and other irregularities that point to outright Democrat voter fraud.

They delivered the smoking gun that I wanted to see. Meanwhile the Swamp creatures are clearly getting scared.

Schumer wants the Senate to vote to confirm Biden’s cabinet RIGHT NOW. ASAP. YESTERDAY IF POSSIBLE.

What’s the rush, Chuck? 

It is becoming apparent that the average Democrat is not necessarily inclined to buy the media’s Three Monkey approach to the fraud-related lawsuit filings, as this longtime Democrat and state election official’s review of the Powell lawsuit filed in GA indicates.

I’ve finished reviewing the Georgia filing and I have a few comments to share with the socialverse in my capacity as a 30-year registered Democrat, former Oregon state elections official (with policy and admin experience), and former CIO. 

I will not comment on the legal claims because, while I have familiarity with the law and court filings, I’m not a lawyer. I am also going to mostly stay away from alleged behaviors, too, as I wasn’t there and, anyway, they add color but are more open to dispute.

The original intent of the software code (acc’d to affidavits) was to manipulate votes without detection. When you start with one goal in mind, it’s tough to pivot to the opposite goal later—not matter how hard you might try. Not that it seems anyone tried … Absence of secure audit log (to record every action in the software) is so indefensible that I LOL’d when I read it. This fact alone should be enough to negate the results when there is ANY question about fraud because it cannot be proven that fraud DIDN’T occur.

Elections administration. Lawsuit alleges that many procedures required in state law—for good, common sense reasons to ensure the one voter, one ballot rule is adhered to—were not followed, including:

• Receipt of absentee ballots in their return envelopes was not recorded (this reduces risk of ballot box stuffing, i.e., to ensure that only one real ballot has been submitted by one real voter)
• Signatures were not verified against voter registration on return envelopes. There might be missing envelopes, too; it wasn’t clear to me in my reading or I missed it.
• 8/12 Ballot processing is not allowed before Election Day in Georgia; in this election, by rule inconsistent with state law, SecState allowed counties to start 3 weeks early. Absent a rigid accountability processes, this risks double or counterfeit voting. Conducting one election with INTEGRITY is hard enough; when you overlay what is, in effect, a 2nd election (by mail) that has to be reconciled with what happens at the polls … this is very high risk … this “2 concurrent elections” risk was a primary argument for all elections being conducted by mail in Oregon, which was adopted after 20 years of practice with dual polling/mail elections—practice that none of these states whose elections are in question have had … 
• Observers were not allowed during the original count or the recount. There is no defense for this and intrinsically implies that elections officials had something to hide.

There are other things to pick on, but these I cannot think of a way to defend and probably are sufficient to meet the apparent (according to the lawsuit) standard of “preponderance of the evidence” to “doubt the result.” 

A RESOLUTION

Declaring the results of statewide electoral contests in the 2020 General Election to be in dispute….

THEREFORE, be it RESOLVED that the Pennsylvania House of Representatives—

1. Recognizes substantial irregularities and improprieties associated with mail-in balloting, pre-canvassing, and canvassing during the November 3, 2020 election; and

2. Disapproves of the infringement on the General Assembly’s authority pursuant to the United States Constitution to regulate elections; and

3. Disapproves of and disagrees with the Secretary of the Commonwealth’s premature certification of the results of the November 3, 2020 election regarding presidential electors; and

4. Declares that the selection of presidential electors and other statewide electoral contest results in this Commonwealth is in dispute; and

5. Urges the Secretary of the Commonwealth and the Governor to withdraw or vacate the certification of presidential electors and to delay certification of results in other statewide electoral contests voted on at the 2020 General Election; and

6. Urges the United States Congress to declare the selection of presidential electors in this Commonwealth to be in dispute.

We will probably know tomorrow. That being said, I found it interesting that the poster referred to something that most non-lawyers get completely wrong, which is the one thing that makes this post on /pol/ potentially credible. See if there is anything that sticks out to you as unlikely, and then I’ll explain what I noticed.

I am an insider with the Biden campaign team and have been tasked with lurking here over the past month or so trying to monitor and report on what information is being discovered and passed around on the web. Pol seems to get news on the election and fraud claims faster than any other outlet the campaign team is familiar with.

Anyway, I wanted to drop some slightly early news on you. Late this evening, the campaign received an advance copy of Sidney Powell’s lawsuit that she plans on filing tomorrow in Georgia.

I’ll just say this – a lot of people in the building lost their shit after seeing it. Not only does it make a metric ton of bombshell accusations, she appears to the goods to back up many of her claims. I have some experience with lawsuits, and I don’t recall ever seeing one with this many exhibits.

I won’t claim to be “in the know,” with respect to what fraud actually occurred or what level was approved or authorized by the big wigs at the top, but I will say that the mood around here has taken a serious turn. Earlier this evening, everyone was basically still in party mode, especially following the GSA decision yesterday to release the transition funds (champagne!). Since receiving the suit this evening, no one has heard from either Joe or Kamala and everyone is acting like it’s really, really bad.

I don’t want to say too much, except that the suit alleges some really, really bad things in the form of what amounts to basically bribes and pay-to-play schemes and implicates high level DNC operatives and GOP members in Georgia. There is some really meaningful witness testimony, including a couple of whistle blowers (DNC ops that worked on this campaign) that actually admit to being complicit with vote switching and ballot stuffing.

The element on which a number of uninformed /pol/ skeptics have focused is the “advance copy” of the lawsuit being provided to the other side. But in both arbitrations and lawsuits, it is required to provide the opposing counsel a copy of the filings at the same time you send it to the court. This can actually turn into a tactical game when deadlines are specified, since some lawyers intentionally wait to see the other side’s filings before filing their own.

Since it usually takes 1-3 days for court filings to appear on the relevant court sites, it would not be uncommon for a non-lawyer to describe what is actually a copy of the filing as an “advance copy”. If the post is not a LARP, what this probably means is that Sidney Powell has started the process of uploading what is a very large filing and will announce it tomorrow after it has finished.

Anyhow, we’ll find out soon enough. I just thought that was an unusual non-mistake that the average LARPer would have been unlikely to make.

UPDATE: Maybe a LARP, maybe not, but the Sidney Powell lawsuit was filed as described. And while we haven’t seen the exhibits yet, it does refer to a lot of them.

The certification process in PA is halted:

A judge on Wednesday ordered Pennsylvania officials not to certify the results of the 2020 election until a court holds a hearing Friday on the matter.

The order was made by Commonwealth Judge Patricia McCullough, according to the Epoch Times. Pennsylvania announced on Tuesday that officials had completed the certification of the presidential race. The judge’s decision also blocks the certification of all the other election results.

Don’t get too up, don’t get too down. 

UPDATE: And in not-necessarily-unrelated news, President Trump pardoned General Flynn:

President Donald Trump announced Wednesday he had granted a pardon to former national security advisor Michael Flynn, who pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about his Russia contacts, only to later seek to withdraw it. 

‘It is my Great Honor to announce that General Michael T. Flynn has been granted a Full Pardon. Congratulations to @GenFlynn and his wonderful family, I know you will now have a truly fantastic Thanksgiving!’ Trump wrote.

Trump announced the pardon minutes after calling into a hearing-style event where he said he ‘won’ the election and called for it to be ‘overturned.’

It appears the bifactional Establishment has concluded that President Trump is bluffing:

Today @PAStateDept certified the results of the November 3 election in Pennsylvania for president and vice president of the United States. As required by federal law, I’ve signed the Certificate of Ascertainment for the slate of electors for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

– Governor Tom Wolf

As always, wait two days before you even try to start “figuring out what this means”. Either Trump is bluffing or he isn’t. Either he will cross the Rubicon or he won’t. And until then, none of this is conclusive. In the meantime, do try to keep in mind that nothing you do, say, think, or feel is going to affect those future events in the slightest.

For crying out loud, people really need to stop falling for every single step of the demoralization campaign.

What does GSA being allowed to preliminarily work with the Dems have to do with continuing to pursue our various cases on what will go down as the most corrupt election in American political history? We are moving full speed ahead. Will never concede to fake ballots & “Dominion”. – President Trump

There are two possibilities here. Either Trump is managing the decline and is simply drawing out the process because he is an cruel bastard who wants to troll both his own followers and the Democrats or he understands the GSA release of funds is irrelevant and he wishes to take the pressure off a woman and her family because he sees no need for her to bear it.

Which possibility sounds more like the President Trump you have observed for the last four years?

Just. Be. Patient. There will either be victory or defeat in the end. Wringing your hands and crying about how worried you are probably won’t matter at all, but to the extent it matters, it favors the latter. Get a grip. And remember, once a signal is sent and received, there is no need to keep sending it.

UPDATE: AC has a theory about the GSA approval of the transition funds.

This might be because Democrats were going to call the head of GSA in to testify about this, and Trump may not want her able to be questioned about what she knows.

Meanwhile, Venezuelans have known about the connection between Smartmatic and the CIA for 12 years, because one of Smartmatic’s Venezuelan founders died in the crash of what is believed to have been a CIA plane.

Woven into one small story about a plane crash in Venezuela that killed seven people are visible threads from two perennial American cover-ups:  one surrounding vote fraud,  and one covering-up the CIA’s role in drug trafficking. For anyone interested in the news that gets left out of the newspaper, its’ a Perfect Storm. The Mother of All Scandals.

The downed plane’s relevance to the ongoing story of vote fraud in America involves the identity of it’s passenger, Jose Alfredo Anzola, a 34-year old founder of Smartmatic, a Venezuela-based election company whose American subsidiary counted one in every three votes in the 2004 Presidential election, while engaged the whole time in heated controversy over allegations the firm counting America’s votes had hidden ties to—of all people— Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez.

The connection between last week’s plane crash and the ongoing saga of CIA Drug trafficking begins with 43-year old Mario Donadi Gafaro, the veteran drug pilot at the controls of the twin engine plane.

This suggests that the computer aspect of U.S. vote fraud has been around longer than anyone except conspiracy theorists imagined. For a deeper dive into the history of Smartmatic, which was founded in Venezuela in 1997, read this article, links to which have been resulting in instabans on Twitter.

 When you deal enough with lawyers, you learn how they lie through omission and misdirection. See if you can spot the lies here:

Against false statements, the facts: Smartmatic does not own Dominion Voting Systems and has never provided Dominion with any technology. Smartmatic has never had ties with any government or political group anywhere in the world.

See, Smartmatic “has never provided Dominion with any technology” because Dominion provided the technology to Smartmatic.

Reporter: The question on people’s minds, why is Smartmatic even still here in the Philippines after reports it had violated provisions of the election automated law. Number one for example that it was never allowed to bid in the 2010 elections because it did not actually own the software. Dominion owned the software. Dominion Voting owned the software. Plus the difficulty that they had to put the COMELEC (Commission on Elections) in order to access the source code. Issues like that. Your thoughts? People say we should not be subjected to Smartmatic again this time around.

Mark Malloch Brown: Yes, well I think that’s competitors who say that. The fact is, yes a part of our technology IS licensed from Dominion. But you tell me a large technology company which isn’t using in part licenses from other companies. And we have a license for the international use of that particular piece of the technology.

Reporter: So Mark let me just cut in there and ask you, the license issued by Dominion for you to use for proprietary software, that is a live license for you to use?

Mark Malloch Brown: Yes.

But then, it turns out that the lying by omission and misdirection goes even deeper.

 Leading voting technology provider Sequoia Voting Systems is pleased to announce the sale of the company to a group of private U.S. investors led by Sequoia’s current executive management team.

“Sequoia is an innovative company with a century-long history; hard-working and talented employees; proven products; a solid balance sheet; essentially no debt, a corporate structure that provides flexibility; an extensive customer base and a very bright future,” said Jack Blaine, Sequoia President & CEO. “I am very excited and hopeful about the tremendous possibilities and numerous opportunities that lay ahead for Sequoia given the company’s new structure and the completion of this sale process.”

The investment group, led by Sequoia President & CEO Jack Blaine and company Chief Financial Officer Peter McManemy, purchased Sequoia from former parent company Smartmatic Corporation for an undisclosed sum.

That private investment group sold Sequoia, and its technology to Dominion.

Sequoia Voting Systems was a California-based company that is one of the largest providers of electronic voting systems in the U.S., having offices in Oakland, Denver and New York City. Some of its major competitors were Premier Election Solutions (formerly Diebold Election Systems) and Election Systems & Software. It was acquired by the Canadian company Dominion Voting Systems on June 4, 2010. 

In other words, there was a cutout, which doesn’t even truly qualify as a third party due to the fact that it was led by Sequoia’s management team, that allows Smartmatic to deceptively claim that it never provided the technology directly to Dominion even though Dominion now owns the technology that Smartmatic formerly owned.

And note that Dominion Voting Systems is a Canadian company, thereby confirming the fact of foreign interference in US elections.

It’s interesting to see the mainstream media narrative keep changing over time. From the Daily Mail:

Trump claims that there is ‘big voter fraud information coming out concerning Georgia’ as he continues to claim he won the election

President Donald Trump continued to allege voter fraud on Saturday

He claimed there is ‘big voter fraud information’ coming from Georgia

Trump urged his supporters to ‘stay tuned!’ yet offered no further information on what his campaign claims to have found there

Biden was declared the winner in Georgia after a hand recount this week 

Trump’s previous claims of fraud have been widely dismissed as his legal team has failed to supply any proof 

First, the narrative was that there wasn’t any evidence, which we’re still seeing being ignorantly repeated by a few lagging retards who simply don’t know what “evidence” is. Then that shifted to “no strong evidence”, which is still the primary narrative despite the fact that no one in the media is even remotely equipped to understand, let alone explain, the significance of the strong statistical and technological evidence that has already been revealed.

Now, the media has begun retreating to the “failed to supply any proof” position, which we can reasonably expect to be abandoned within two weeks. Of course, once the proof is supplied, it’s game over for Sleepy Joe and a lot of corrupt election officials.

The survey taken November 13-17, more than a week after Election Day, shows President Trump’s open defiance of Biden’s victory appears to be affecting the public’s confidence in American democracy – especially among Republicans.
