As the Arizona audit of 2020 ballots winds down, progressive activists — continuing the tradition they laid out in that extraordinary TIME Magazine article where they admitted all the things they did to ensure a Biden win — are now admitting to traveling from California to Arizona and Georgia to help cure ballots in the days following the election.
A California nonprofit called Unite Here is profiled in yet another extraordinary piece in The Atlantic in which they admit they sent activists across state lines to Arizona to help “cure” ballots in the days following the election.
The article titled, “How Unite Here Turned the West’s Biggest Red State Blue” (subtitled: “Arizona was pivotal in the 2020 presidential election. Its shift was no accident.”), rather shamelessly details how activists associated with the nonprofit had affected races in Arizona in the past and had their sights set on the general election as early as July.
In the summer of 2020, when Minato and her colleagues headed east from California, they had their sights set on the biggest prize of all: Arizona’s 11 Electoral College votes, which they knew could prove pivotal in the presidential race.
…
By the summer of 2020, with the election fast approaching and Covid’s spread accelerating, the national Democratic Party had decided to pull back from door-to-door canvassing operations. The pandemic, Biden’s team concluded, simply made it too risky. Local 11’s leadership in Los Angeles and in Phoenix decided the opposite was true: that given what was at stake in both the presidential and congressional elections, it was too dangerous not to go door-to-door.
But canvassing pre-election to register voters wasn’t their only mission. In an admission toward the end of the piece, so far down that it could be easily missed, Unite Here proudly announces they used the days following election night to help “cure” ballots for Arizona voters.
In the days after the November election, with most of the networks declaring the result still too close to call, Minato and her team worked on vital vote-curing efforts, following up with people whose ballots were at risk of being discarded because they had filled out a line incorrectly or had a signature on the form that didn’t quite match the one in the county’s files. Gomez says that he helped 10 voters cure their ballots. With hundreds of Unite Here canvassers helping to cure several ballots each, a whole heap of votes ended up being counted that would have been discarded otherwise, in a state ultimately decided by 10,457 votes.
On November 10, when it became clear that her work in Arizona was done, Minato, along with hundreds of other LA organizers, left. Largely under the radar, courting a minimum of publicity, they had helped craft one of 2020’s most extraordinary political stories. They had developed a template for how, with the right kind of organizing and outreach, solidly red states around the country—even those with a long history of voter suppression efforts—could be turned blue.
After a brief spell back in Los Angeles, many of these canvassers headed east again, this time to Georgia. As the Senate run-off races there intensified, the canvasser-activists once again played a crucial, albeit out-of-the-spotlight, role.
Ballot curing is a controversial process that allows voters to fix their ballot if it was filled out correctly for a number of days following election night. Democrat activist groups adopted the issue before the 2020 election and made sure it was widely available.
Democrats and advocacy groups like the League of Women Voters have sued to change or institute “cure” processes in at least 10 states this year. New York’s state Legislature passed a law creating a cure process in July, while Georgia settled a suit with state Democrats to update their cure process after their primary. A North Carolina judge also ordered a cure process for ballots in November.
Then along come California activists to make sure it’s used.
The Democrats had an effective plan for the 2020 election and they executed it rather flawlessly. The Arizona audit may determine if it was executed legitimately.
Unite Here union thugs in action back in 2005:
TV stations misleading about assault at anti-Arnold rally?

Previously I offered “True face of Democratic Party: union thugs attack woman at anti-Arnold rally”: she had her cap pulled off, she was beaten with signs, and one of the security workers ripped up her signs.
Now, speaking on KFI, the victim of the assault claims it was even worse than what was shown on TV. She says the pro-union forces also poured water on her head and threw things at her. And, she says that several TV stations must have filmed that.
Yet, only a small - but highly disturbing - segment of the attack was shown on just two Los Angeles TV stations.
She’ll be appearing on Hannity and Colmes tomorrow night, so hopefully they’ll be able to find the full footage from, for instance, Fox’s local affiliate.
As I said before: if you’re on the fence or you’re a reasonable person who opposes these propositions for some reason, watch the video. And, send the link to the video to everyone else so they can see what the other side really is.
I believe this was one of the changes to our voting law that Raffensperger agreed to in the settlement agreement with the democrats in March 2020. All the election law changes were illegal anyway because they were made by the SOS without going through our legislature. That was Wood’s lawsuit (that ended up at SCOTUS) - dismissed for lack of standing and other procedural reasons.
I know states are supposed to make their own laws regarding elections, but what recourse does a citizen have if the laws of their state aren’t being followed and the courts, legislative body and cabinet didn’t do anything about it?
Unite Here is connected to Amalgamated Bank.

Obviously Occupy is deeply involved. We know who they are, that’s no secret.
We also know that Occupy leadership coordinated their efforts with UNITE HERE and UNITE HERE’s partners in Change to Win.
All donations to Occupy were deposited with Amalgamated Bank, which is owned by UNITE HERE.
These are seasoned professional protestors.
They make no secret of it. The MSM is just too lazy to Google the names of the people they are interviewing.

Democrats Threaten to Skip Next Week’s Debate Over Union Dispute

All of the Democratic presidential candidates who have qualified for next week’s debate say they will skip the event rather than cross a planned picket line at the venue. The seven candidates — Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Amy Klobuchar, Tom Steyer and Andrew Yang — all said Friday that they would not show up for the debate at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles next Thursday if the Unite Here Local 11 goes forward with its protest of food service contractor Sodexo SA. The union, which represents about 150 Sodexo employees at the LMU campus, reached...
This Unite Here group out of LA is a supposedly pro-labor group that’s actually been behind laws that give unionized companies loopholes to avoid paying the minimum wage.
Remember how Biden said, “We have a path to victory without winning Ohio and Florida.”
