The Anatomy of Voter Fraud
Original Content | 11/11/2018 | By Laz A. Mataz

Posted on 11/11/2018 9:02:30 PM PST by Lazamataz

Many people are very seriously questioning the integrity of our voting system, especially in this, the election of 2018. I intend to explain exactly how this fraud is accomplished, and why late-vote acceptance is so dangerous and destructive to our republic:

  1. First, one must understand the importance of chain of custody. Used often in the law-enforcement community, this concept means that evidence (or, in our case, ballots) must be handled an a tracked, sealed, and auditable manner. There must be an auditable paper trail that records the sequence of sealing, custody, control, transfer, unsealing, analysis, and disposition of election ballots, as well.

  2. The polls close statewide at a set time. Tallies and totals are calculated a few hours after that. There are also time deadlines set for the acceptance of mailed and dropped-off absentee and/or provisional ballots.

  3. For mail ballots, the postmark for that ballot must be before or on the day of the election, and held in a chain of custody to prevent false ballots from entering the system.

  4. For hand-delivered absentee or provisional votes, those ballot must be collected at the voting place on the day of the election, and held in a chain of custody.

  5. Most election officials, especially those at the top, can see who voted and who did not.

  6. A dishonest opponent can create ballots for those who did not vote, and have them 'vote' for their candidate.

Therefore, those who claim to 'find' additional votes after the election has finished, and especially if those ballots have left or never been in a chain of custody, they can easily have been tampered with or outright fraudulently created.

No ballots that have left chain-of-custody should ever be counted, and no ballots should ever be accepted if they are not verified as having met the deadlines described by each state's laws.

If such falsified or tampered ballots ARE counted, recounts become meaningless, because these falsified ballots can (and do) change the results of races. But, recounts are only one outcome; the other outcome -- if ballots that are not submitted by deadlines, or that fall out of the chain of custody requirements -- is an outright win for the wrong candidate.

Additionally, unsealing of sealed ballot containers, and all subsequent handling of those ballots, including counting, MUST be done with a representative from each candidate observing. This particular requirement has been violated numerous times in Broward and Palm Beach county, Florida.

Georgia, Florida, and California have elections that are in present and serious jeopardy of being corrupted by the failure to follow clearly-written State laws.

This cannot stand.

Who is going to do all this?

The House is Democrat. No such laws will be passed.

You may only have two years. If Democrat fraud wins in 2020, it’s over, America becomes socialist until it collapses entirely.

How is this programme to be implemented? Who is going to do it? Who has the authority?

Thank you for your clear analysis of a complicated situation.
“No ballots should ever be accepted if they are not verified as having met the deadlines.”
True. Reasonable. Following the law builds unity and breaking the law creates divisions. Thankfully, breakers cannot defeat builders.

“Georgia, Florida, and California have elections that are in present and serious jeopardy of being corrupted by the failure to follow clearly-written State laws.”

Laws cannot stand without the will to apply them.

Democrats are not weak of will.

No one has the will to enforce. We do not agree any longer on our laws. The Democrats have recognized this first. They don’t recognize any law they don’t agree with at the moment. We need to first understand this breach in the fabric of our nation. Our laws don’t matter to that half - we are living in the same geographical space with diametrically opposed views of reality.

Laz, I found this article some days ago, and now I can’t even remember where. It tells the tale of how democrats have been able to cheat and fraud their way over the last 30 years.

Don’t know FR policy of excerpting from IWB, but I’m going to.
Anyone, reading,. READ this! It’s mind-blowingly disgusting.

“Just in time for this November’s mid-term elections!

Did you know that since 1982, the Republican Party had been legally prohibited from contesting elections due to suspected vote fraud, because of a legal agreement called the Consent Decree the GOP made with the Democrat Party?

Finally, 36 years later, a judge has ended the agreement, freeing the Republican Party to ensure electoral integrity by investigating and pursuing suspected vote fraud.

Betcha you never heard or seen this truly momentous news in the Left-infested mainstream nedia. Why’s that?

THE 1982 CONSENT DECREE
As I explained in my post of November 15, 2012, “Why the GOP won’t challenge vote fraud,” in 1981, during the gubernatorial election in New Jersey (NJ), a lawsuit was brought against the Republican National Committee (RNC), the NJ Republican State Committee (RSC), and three individuals (John A. Kelly, Ronald Kaufman, and Alex Hurtado), accusing them of violating the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA), 42 U.S.C. §§ 1971, 1973, and the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States.

The lawsuit was brought by the Democratic National Committee (DNC), the NJ Democratic State Committee (DSC), and two individuals (Virginia L. Peggins and Lynette Monroe).

The lawsuit alleged that:

The RNC and RSC targeted minority voters in New Jersey in an effort to intimidate them.
The RNC created a voter challenge list by mailing sample ballots to individuals in precincts with a high percentage of racial or ethnic minority registered voters. Then the RNC put the names of individuals whose postcards were returned as undeliverable on a list of voters to challenge at the polls.
The RNC enlisted the help of off-duty sheriffs and police officers with “National Ballot Security Task Force” armbands, to intimidate voters by standing at polling places in minority precincts during voting. Some of the officers allegedly wore firearms in a visible manner.
To settle the lawsuit, in 1982 — while Ronald Reagan was President (1981-1989) — the RNC and RSC entered into an agreement or Consent Decree, which is national in scope, limiting the RNC’s ability to engage or assist in voter fraud prevention unless the RNC obtains the court’s approval in advance.

The two parties agreed that “in the future, in all states and territories of the United States,” they would:

(d) refrain from giving any directions to or permitting their employees to campaign within restricted polling areas or tointerrogate prospective voters as to their qualifications to vote prior to their entry to a polling place;

(e) refrain from undertaking any ballot security activities in polling places or election districts where the racial or ethnic composition of such districts is a factor in the decision to conduct, or the actual conduct of, such activities there and where a purpose or significant effect of such activities is to deter qualified voters from voting; and the conduct of such activities disproportionately in or directed toward districts that have a substantial proportion of racial or ethnic populations shall be considered relevant evidence of the existence of such a factor and purpose;

(f) refrain from having private personnel deputized as law enforcement personnel in connection with ballot security activities.

The RNC also agreed that the RNC, its agents, servants, and employees would be bound by the Decree, “whether acting directly or indirectly through other party committees.”

To put it bluntly, the Consent Decree in effect gave a carte blanche to the Democrat Party to commit vote fraud in every voting district across America that has, in the language of the Consent Decree, “a substantial proportion of racial or ethnic populations.” The term “substantial proportion” is not defined.

In 1987, the Consent Decree was modified to define “ballot security activities” as “ballot integrity, ballot security or other efforts to prevent or remedy vote fraud.”

Since 1982, the Consent Decree had been renewed every year by the original judge, Carter appointee District Judge Dickinson R. Debevoise, who, even after he retired, returned every year for the sole purpose of renewing his 1982 order for another year. Debevoise died in August 2015.

In 2010, the RNC appealed “to vacate or modify” the Consent Decreein “Democratic National Committee v Republican National Committee,” Case No. 09-4615 (C.A. 3, Mar. 8, 2012). But an appeals judge at the New Jersey District Court, Obama appointee Judge Joseph Greenaway, Jr., declined to vacate the decree.

Flash forward to December 1, 2017, when the Consent Decree was due to expire.

According to NJ.com, the Democrat Party tried to extend the Consent Decree, claiming that the 2016 Trump presidential campaign had colluded with the RNC in voter intimidation efforts, and that Trump’s commission to examine suspected Democratic voter fraud was, in the words of Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), “a thinly veiled voter suppression effort”.

But Sean Spicer, who had been a top RNC official before entering the Trump White House as spokesman, testified there was no collusion of the Trump campaign with the RNC, and that the RNC had stayed away from all 2016 election day activities, including any voter-intimidation, voter-suppression or ballot-security efforts. Nor did any party officials discuss voter fraud allegations with the Trump campaign. Spicer said:

“It had been abundantly clear for the six years that I worked at the RNC that the RNC and its employees were prohibited from engaging in Election Day activities, including poll watching, so I intentionally stayed away from all of that.

The [RNC] counsel’s office had been vigilant in informing both senior staff and subordinates on the importance of the consent decree and the activities that we were clearly should not be engaged at or be even perceived as engaging in. And so we had grown accustomed to not even coming too close to a line that would in any way, shape, or form lead one to believe that we were engaged in those activities.”

RNC lawyer Bobby Burchfield said Spicer’s testimony proved there was no collusion and asked the presiding judge, U.S. District Court Judge John Michael Vazquez, to allow the 1982 Consent Decree to expire.

As reported by NJ.com on January 9, 2018, Judge Vazquez ruled that the Democratic National Committee did not prove that the RNC violated the Consent Decree prior to its Dec. 1, 2017, expiration date.

And with that, Judge Vazquez, an Obama appointee, ended that noxious 1982 Consent Decree legal agreement between the RNC and DNC which had tied the Republican Party’s hands from contesting elections and investigating vote fraud for 36 years.

RNC spokesman Michael Ahrens said “We are gratified that the judge recognized our full compliance with the consent decree and rejected the DNC’s baseless claims” and that Judge Vazquez’s ruling “will allow the RNC to work more closely with state parties and campaigns to do what we do best, ensure that more people vote through our unmatched field program.” As a result, the GOP will be able to boost its Election Day turnout operations, including targeting potential voters and get them to the polls, which the Democrats have been able to do but the Republicans have not for 36 years.

Nominated by Obama to the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey in March 2015, John Michael Vazquez, 47-48, who received his J.D. from Seton Hall University School of Law, was confirmed by the Senate on January 27, 2016, by a vote of 84 to 2.

Thank you, Judge Vazquez, for your fair and judicious ruling.

With Repubs letting DemLibTards get away with it I think Janis Joplin’s “Chain of Fools”.

Where is the FEC? Where are guys with hat brims, starched shirts and guns confiscating ballots? Are they numbered? Is there ANY accounting system of how many printed, issued, returned, unused, etc?

Why are simple logistical systems so confusing for the idiots we idiots elect? High school kids working at McDonald’s have better accountability.

This is starting to get totally ridiculous. Rick Scott is the ACTUAL GOVERNOR of Florida. But he did nothing to clean up this process in his state. He now barks but I don’t see that much bite. I can almost hear the little buzz buzz around him “advising” any action AS governor would be seen as politically motivated.

I always appreciate your inputs on these matters. I don’t know if I share your optimism about anything being done about the situation from a legal standpoint. But there is always hope. (most of the time)

This how we do it where I live in Tennessee,

1) You go to your precinct and present a valid photo ID. You are asked if you still live at the address on the ID. If yes, proceed to the desk.

2) The desk is alphabetical, get in line and then fill out a small piece of paper with your name, address, and sign it. It’s a legal affidavit with a number on it. The worker at the table checks the signature on the affidavit and on the ID.

3) The worker then looks into the book with all of this same voter information in it and writes down the number on the affidavit form, signs it and notes the information of state districts you are in. This book now has a copy of your signature. You sign again in the book and they check them again.

4) Wait in line, hand the voting booth worker you affidavit and they put in the cartridge to the machine, pick your elections and you vote.

I was in and out in 15 minutes at 10 am on election day.

Mostly all OK except that thousands or tens of thousands of people have to be away from home on election day; businessmen, construction workers, oil field workers, railroad workers, air crews ....

What if the white ones, in that county or any other, got together for a similar photo?

That would be equally obnoxious!

Slightly off topic question to anyone...

Re: McSally in Arizona

The GOP candidate for Arizona governor won by 15%.

What was so toxic about McSally for the U.S. Senate that she got 200,000 fewer votes than the GOP governor?

How Rs didn’t expect this cr@p to happen, across the country, is beyond me.
_______________________

The R-elites possibly were counting on this to occur. Trump’s new R’s had no idea how deep the swamp creatures might dwell. Thus the final outcome. POTUS Trump has given what we consider to be his all. Apparently, it was not enough to annihilate them, only wound. A wounded animal is VERY dangerous, Mr. President. We say a Prayer of protection for you, hopefully,giving you courage to continue on your quest.

What you’re missing is that the “found” boxes COULD be the actual valid votes, while the counted ballots could be the replacements.

If people are lugging the boxes around in rented vehicles, or their own personal vehicles, there is no way to know whether or not the ballots themselves are even valid, filled out or not.

That election commissioner would know the number sequences, and where they were delivered. She could have printed ballots and filled them out in advance of the election, and then shipped off the boxes with the voters ballots. This woman isn’t above destroying filled out ballots.

Maybe a company like Brinks...not necessarily Brinks, but an armored truck security transport might help with the right checks and balances in place.

There definitely needs to be a voter ID system.

Machines are insecure because they can be reprogrammed with a simple micro sd thinngie..I forget what they’re called. And if some nefarious person like Soros owns the machines, you can’t trust them any way.

And those old flipper-do machines...I was at one that was rigged and kept changing my selections.

I do have a problem with sending US Marshals to state elections, but state police would work...but again, human beings can be corrupted. They certainly covered Bill Clinton’s antics for example.

It’s a republic if you can keep it, and its utterly dependent upon virtue.

A truly outstanding thread and comment. Thank you. These basic principles of voter fraud must be learned so the general public is fully aware of the ramifications of “missed deadlines” etc.

Either the obvious massive election and vote fraud we are witnessing here is exposed, the correct vote totals are declared, and the legitimate winning candidates take their elected seats, or this will be the last national election in our history. If the Democrats get away with this, why would 2020 be any different? Time to kick open the ant hill and end this historic crime against the people and the constitution.

I would add eliminate “provisional ballots”. If you want to vote, you should take the time ahead of the election to assure that you are properly registered and know where to report to your polling place. Allowing someone just to show up anywhere is simply opening the door to fraud.
