This is a hot mess. Fulton County election officials were freaked out after a judge granted the plaintiffs access to review 145,000 absentee ballots. The concern is fraudulent and duplicated or double-counted ballots. The final hearing to work out the details of the inspection was to take place tomorrow. However in a last minute flurry of legal filings the county filed motions to dismiss the underlying lawsuit that initiated the ballot audit and review.
The judge has postponed the ballot examination hearing until after the county dismissal motion is considered.
EPOCH TIMES – A judge in Georgia told parties in an election integrity case on May 27 that a previously scheduled meeting at a ballot storage warehouse was canceled after officials filed a flurry of motions in the case.
Henry County Superior Court Judge Brian Amero said a May 28 meeting was no longer taking place because of motions filed by Fulton County, the county’s Board of Registration and Elections, and the county’s clerk of Superior and Magistrate Courts, a spokesperson for the court confirmed to The Epoch Times.
Amero said the motions must be heard before the plaintiffs can gain access to the absentee ballots. He proposed a June 21 hearing, but the order scheduling the hearing hasn’t yet been filed.
“It seems like a desperation move. The silver lining is that we now have more time to perfect the changes we had to make in our inspection plan,” Garland Favorito, the lead petitioner, told The Epoch Times via email. (read more)
the article I read said the premise was that Defendant was not filed as the election commission for the audit…..since the election is done would it not properly be the county clerk or SoS that has authority on the election materials AFTER an election?
That theory seems to have been distributed in the Dems’ morning talking points from Lawfare. Michigan Dems are also arguing that nothing can move forward in Antrim Co because the Board of Elections no longer has jurisdiction over the ballots. The state level Dems obviously feel better equipped to stop audits than local elections officials dealing with local judges. Hopefully, that strategy will not succeed, but I imagine most local judges want nothing than to get a National hot potato out of their own hands.
At it’s nonsensical, prima facie. Election officials must retain custody of original election materials for slightly more than two years, specifically to support an audit of the same.
The law means nothing to Satanists and make no mistake that is who these people are. Their identity as anything else is merely a skinsuit.
In agreement with you.
“Satan didn’t win either.”
Hat Tip: to Lin Wood, amazing read that is directly related to this mess…
Lin Wood
Covid-19: From Bush to Obama to Clinton to Biden to Fauci.
I highly recommend you take the time to read and consider this article.
Draw your own conclusions.
Political moonshine might sober up many.
https://politicalmoonshine.com/2021/05/27/dangerously-changing-inconvenient-rules/?amp
Those who participated in the Steal are really scared.
There is no reason to go to this length, unless the Dems and Trump-Haters have something significant to hide.
Let common sense and truth prevail.
I heard retired Law Enforcement is involved in Wisconsin. That too was from the Epoch Times. The story wizzed past my display and I did not get a chance to read it. I saw a screen cap from Slate (from pol perhaps) not 100% sure if it was real but most likely is. Said
“What if the Unorthodox AZ declares Trump Won?”
“That outcome is looking more and more likely”
Damn I hope so we need a win. I have kept quiet about these audits because I fear even if we do get a break I feel the media would memory hole it from the sheeple. But maybe; just maybe we catch a break and some how it catches fire. It would be like falling dominoes. Here’s to hoping.
“I heard retired Law Enforcement is involved in Wisconsin”
JMO, it looks like a decoy, delaying action. What they are investigating appears to be old news, already investigated.
WI was way too quick to announce an audit, AFTER info started coming out about things they were finding in AZ. The other states too. Remember no judge would even let any evidence be heard after the election. I don’t think they all just had a moral awakening 5 months later. Suspicious cat remains suspicious.
Well of course they do. But remember Obama’s strategy of drawing these things out, so the issue stagnates. If Biden’s in office for four or eight years, before his election can be declared illegitimate, the damage is done.
It’s a real advantage when you don’t care about the havoc you reap – when, in fact, that’s your goal.
Kinda classic super-villain when you think about it.
Haha, seems you just reinforced the value of abigailstraight’s comment! Well done!
I discounted everything after your “But”
‘I discounted everything after your “But”
I cannot express how foolish it is to discount the obvious effectiveness of Obama’s methods.
They stole the presidency and are in the process of transforming the country into a totalitarian state.
At this point, things are going to get a LOT worse before – or IF – they get better.
Pretending otherwise under the auspice of ‘positive thinking’ is simply lying to yourself.
The “fundamental transformation” scared hell out of me. Especially having read the first two autobiographies.
Having a conscience is incredibly inconvenient.
Also joe and his handlers know joe has 1 foot in the grave with the grim reaper on his coattails…
Joe feels no responsibility for his actions.
Exactly. It should seem obvious to anyone with a working brain, that if you were confident in the election results, you would WANT the audit to happen in order to prove that. The fact that this is being fought on so many levels, is an indication that they know that the election results are fraudulent.
“The guilty run when not being chased.”
If you had nothing to hide, you would not be hiding it. If there ever was any lingering question that a massive felony was committed, you removed all doubt.
Man… they REALLY don’t want the election looked at, do they?
But they do want you to know that this was the most ethical election ever held – in the history of elections…boy, howdy, this one was ALL good! Bout near as close to perfect as any election in the history of elections! Honest – we, promise!! And we are so absolutely sure that everything was completely aboveboard that we have now spent almost eight months making sure that none of you can actually verify ANYTHING yourselves…but, trust us, it was ALL good!
Oh, look over there!! Is that a UFO?!!
Not on smidgeon of fraud.
Oh don’t be silly. It’s not like the dems want to start a WAR or anything to stop the audits/s
And they’ll keep saying it over and over.
Hmmm. Where’d they get THAT tactic?
That’s next,
If people had an exact recording of history in its fullness and complete, it would serve us well. These evil demons have manipulated everything to gain power.
It is no wonder whole civilizations are destroyed if they are allowed to continue they rot every single thing in existence.
You look in the eyes of a baby and see God. These people wish to kill them.
I really don’t understand. Why are they here? Miserable creatures who never find relief.
They teach and train our young to be like them. I see no use for such evil.
Does mercy cover this? When others fall because of them?
Or is it us, those who see the evil and do not end its reign? If we fall in our battle against evil we are champions. But this evil seems to be so encompassing that good and bad are hidden. Who is guilty? Maybe the line needs to be further defined?
It is not God who is at fault, that is literally impossible.
In a world of purpose, a world or civilization of purposed enlightenment, this would be easily defined. It was all written in the Bible how to elevate a person and humanity. But in the lies, we hear everything but that as our guide.
It becomes very simple when you examine leaders, people in general, in heavens light.
When all is broken down to its smallest it is the individual. Every choice is heaven or hell. And to be righteous is our job and only ours.
If that one thing is proven, all else can be achieved.
? ? ? ?

We have Marco Rubio to thank for giving them the UFO “squirrel”
Rubio, and Harry Reid.
Whenever Dems start using superlatives, you know the BS is flying thick.
They’ve been stuck on the “…est” everything for some time now…
The dems & their lawfare keep repeating from the same script HOPING that someone will/would believe them…
I think NOT!!!
They are showing the satanic ethos they live by, not the Christian ethic and good morals of many patriots.
The only thing missing from admission of Guilt is the guilty saying; “I am guilty”. You don’t object what proves your innocence unless you are not innocent.
The video of RUBY FREEMAN AND HER MOTHER is proof enough to me!
True. But they see political gain in being able to point at republicans and laugh, call republicans crazy conspiracy theorists, rubes, Neanderthals, etc. so they will exercise all legit and illegitimate means to both hide the truth AND keep the dispute alive so long as polling tells them the dispute serves their political purposes. Hiding the truth and branding those who seek as evil or naive is good politics for them, especially since no Republican other than Trump calls them out. Good governance of the US and instilling confidence in US government systems or Sates is the last thing on their mind.
Atlanta delivered big twice for the dems…the federal then the two run offs for the senate. Both cases the magical mail in ballots delivered the victory after it looked like the Republican had won that evening. It was so effective that pelosi fast tracked HR1 to take the election stealing national. The dems stand to lose two things with credible audits. They will lose the “there’s no election fraud it’s a myth” narrative that the dems and the media repeat ceaselessly. And more importantly. HR1 gets scuttled.
Yet, these same people took the country on a wild goose chase for four years on Russia collusion when not one piece of solid evidence has ever been produced to prove their lie. They turned over every stone and looked under every nook and cranny of this Earth, and found nothing. On the other hand the left knows a serious and unobstructed investigation of the 2020 election would prove no doubt that fraud occurred.
No matter what happens, Biden won’t be removed from office, and they know it. What they are afraid of is that the average American Sheeple will finally realize that our entire political system is a sham.
What happens then, once the curtain is pulled back and “The People” realize that everything they believed in is a farce?
THAT is “THE BIG UGLY”
The sad truth is that most people will just shrug their shoulders. There’s milk at the grocery store. They have a paycheck. A roof over their head. Shit to binge on Netflix. Most won’t care.
Worse still is the fact that the wrong side controls all the levers of power: the courts, the bureaucracy, the military, academia, the public schools, entertainment, news, and social media.
I don’t think people have even the slightest grasp of what it’s going to take to clean this mess up. And for all the ones who don’t care, there’s an equal number who are so deeply indoctrinated, so clinically delusional that they think *we* are the problem.
Scary times. May the Lord of Hosts Return. With haste.
The U.S. court system sure appears to a terminally corrupt institution.
An experienced lawyer friend of mine told me many years ago that the U.S. judicial system was incredibly corrupt.
He went to tell me how a case he had going in the U.S. was a slam dunk for his client.
The U.S. lawyer assisting him informed him, that the judge that was to originally hear the case had been reassigned and new judge was to hear the case.
The U.S. lawyer advised that the new judge was corrupt, and that their case was going no where unless the client had “ deep pockets” and was prepared for a long battle.
My lawyer friend found out with a short period of time that indeed the U.S.lawyer was correct
This lack of faith in the Judiciary cannot end well!
Cheers, and God bless PDJT
Corrupt beyond all comprehension.
And beyond repair. Must be torn down to rebuild.
Razed to the ground – no mercy!
The hearing will take years to finish. Lawfare wins again.
Lawfare is in a panic mode they cannot escape. They are trapped by their own veracity.
I’ve believed stretching things out as long as they can is the plan if they are in the wrong and depend on a player they can’t control. The specifics have no bearing, just make sure they’re almost believable. If they control everything, get it done as fast as possible before they get caught then say it’s too late.
Take the recent distribution of funds they claimed were only for a certain group, charges were made the selection of the group was in violation of US law…too late, we already gave the money out and can’t take it back.
Other side of that coin, look no further back than the Russiagate hoax. Plan there was to keep the smear up on Trump as long as possible by lies, innuendo and deception. Hide the files, hide the players, spin the truth and stretch it out. Most folks lost interest.
In both cases they completely got away with it. Don’t help we got a cowardly group in the congress and senate. In the case of the election fraud, the lefts plan is to just string things along until the general population lose interest. We already got some on the right saying it don’t matter what they did, finding out the truth will change nothing. Implying it’s a wasted effort. Makes me absolutely sick.
If only they had a Republican Governor in Georgia.
The judicial system is as corrupt or more corrupt then politicians we just haven’t seen it clearly before PDJT
A good lawyer knows the law. A great one knows the judge.
Nice one!
Very nice!
lawyers have been trained for years about how to operate outside the law with the appearance of being within its bounds…there is no way these snakes should be in charge of making new law as they create built-in loopholes to exploit…. it is like putting a gun-grabber in charge at the ATF…oh wait, they just did that
These corrupt judges should be decorating the trees, like crows.
No, feeding crows, like road kill.
Reaction from the plaintiff…
More time for more fraud.
There was a Roman general known for his tactics of delay, delay, delay. Fabius the Delayer.
He was able to prevail by not attacking his enemies head-on, but delaying and wearing them down, burning up time and resources.
In the U.K., there is a far-left political group that literally calls itself “The Fabian Society.” They have for decades slowly turned the U.K. from its old ways to the peculiarly failing collectivist ways.
We have our own versions of such delayers here. They are in both parties, always helping the corporatist/globalist goons.
Justice delayed is justice denied.
Please your Honor, let the audit proceed at flank speed!
Oh wow. Didn’t see that coming months ago. ?
When a country’s “elite” refuse to allow well supervised and secure election audits of a highly disputed election, then it is definitely more of a banana republic than a republic. Honest elections are the real foundation of any democratic state. This dogged reluctance by the Democrats is also the best and most convincing circumstantial evidence that the election was in fact stolen.
The people in robes and fancy linen that are interfering with justified audits, including the high priced slick Democrat lawyers, are like foolish children playing with fire. If the Democrats succeed in preventing fair and open audits of the last election, nobody can predict how a nation will react.
The Libtard Judges and lawyers are not psychologically different than any other Libtard. They lack; rationale, Judgment , Common Sense. They can only “see” what they “believe”.
They do not “see” GITMO because they do not “believe” GITMO has anything to do with them. They believe their Ego. They believe their own lies. They believe they are bulletproof.
Remember, it is impossible to be a Libtard if you have; Rationale, Judgment, Common Sense.
” This dogged reluctance by the Democrats is also the best and most convincing circumstantial evidence that the election was in fact stolen.”
You’ve narrowed your focus on a critical point: Why do supposedly non-partisan election officials object so strenuously to such an audit if they ‘have no dog in this fight’ one way or another??
If one were, hypothetically, to presume that fraud is ultimately proven, there would, in any event , be additional, contested court hearings wherein both parties could prove or disprove any allegation. So the point remains, why are impartial election officials so ego-involved??
I knew this lawyer in Atlanta, he is very influential and, well, this will be a real test of the judge’s character. Regardless of the fact that the audit is clearly legal.
The real sleaze here is AG Chris Carr – never has a prosecutor so badly needed to be voted put of office. He is a coward to the core, as demonstrated in his decision to oppose the audit from the start.
Are not the two attorneys hired by the state criminal defense attorneys? Can anyone venture a guess as to why?
It would be wise for citizens to surround the warehouse and ensure that nothing is removed in the meantime.
Nice warehouse ya got there. Be a shame if sumptin’ happened to it………….
Be on the lookout for “spontaneous combustion.” It usually occurs sometime between 11PM and 4AM, or whenever there is a shift change and all the police are back at the station filing their shift reports.
So the socialists are fighting audits because audits might undermine voter confidence.
In what alternate universe do they live.
Remember, It is how Communists operate.
China Joe didn’t even campaign and he got more votes than anyone in US history.
?resize=519%2C384&ssl=1
Planet TheirAnus.
An alternate universe where a man can get pregnant, a criminal drug addict becomes a hero and a role model, asking for an id to vote is undermining democracy, a virus is more likely to come from an animal market and not from a virus research lab three blocks away from the market.
On the Panic Scale a Fluffy is ten times the level of a Flurry.
The guilty know what properly conducted, comprehensive audits brings.
Has anyone explained why the GA Senate is not the party bringing this case?
The Georgia General Assembly convened at the State Capitol in Atlanta on Monday, January 11, for the first day of the legislative session.
While the days are not consecutive, the Georgia Constitution limits the General Assembly’s annual session to no more than 40 legislative days. The General Assembly typically meets until the end of March or the first part of April. Although more than a thousand bills and resolutions may be introduced during the session, the law only requires that one be passed: the state’s annual budget.
https://georgia.gov/announcement/2021-01-15/guide-2021-legislative-session
GA 2021 General Assembly’s annual session ended March 31.
It would be up to Govenor Kemp to call them into session.
Yes…
THAT Govenor Kemp…
Oh hey, we keep the physical ballots for 22 months, for what reason again? And if it is “our” ballots, then why can’t we ask for them to be audited? Did these people think we’d never ask to see the ballots?
Yes
If they keep “Leap Frogging” these delays by 3 weeks at a time…
?
Just how much crap can be loaded onto The Good Ship America before it sinks to the bottom of the sea?
She’ll break apart like the Big Fitz.
Let’s see.
3+ weeks to get the ballots disappeared or replaced through underground tunnels, spoilage via fire or leaks, power outage during a thunderstorm, etc. Use your imagination as those opposing an inspection have or will. Write your own imaginary screenplay.
Follow the money to figure who is behind this.
The tactics are to stall forever, claim “debunked”, rinse and repeat…
> The tactics are to stall forever, claim “debunked”, rinse and repeat…
The Clinton Method
They only have 15 months left to stall…!
And the ballots from all 50 states go… Poof.
“…The silver lining is that we now have more time to perfect the changes we had to make in our inspection plan,”
The good guys are learning how to make lemonade out of lemons, or in other words, turn the crooked election officials’ weapons of mass obstruction around and use the delay to improve the evidence against them.
If you read the MTD carefully, you’ll notice that the Democrats go to GREAT PAINS to avoid calling the board of elections by its formal title:
Fulton County Registration and Elections Board.
It even has a website: https://www.fultoncountyga.gov/services/voting-and-elections/registration-and-elections-board
The MTD doesn’t use the name because the name demonstrates that Fulton County owns and oversees this board. They want you to believe that there’s this mystical board outside of Fulton County that controls their elections. There isn’t. It’s a county board empaneled by the County, and the County is ultimately responsible and accountable for the actions of its board.
Serving the County is an administrative fix which can no doubt be cured in days if not hours. “OK, we served the employees, but if you want us to formally serve the county, we can do that.”
If I was the plaintiff, I think I’d point out the slippery language used by the Defense to avoid calling the Fulton County Registrations and Elections Board by its full and proper legal name.
FYI – the Board is created by the Georgia Legislature O.C.G.A. § 21-2-40
ok, I stand corrected
As I pointed out earlier, election fraud by officials in Democrat ghetto cities like Atlanta, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Chicago is now viewed by law enforcement officials as just another minority welfare program!
There is not going to be any stopping this train.
Just ask yourself who is in retreat? The deniers or the fact finders?
Sounds like maybe this judge is down to play games. I hope I’m wrong-
It won’t surprise me if there’s a mysterious fire at that there ballot storage center!
Do you remember when Jeffrey Epstein supposedly tried to commit suicide on July 23, 2019.
https://nypost.com/2019/11/19/jeffrey-epstein-used-strip-of-bedsheet-in-first-suicide-attempt-feds/
Yeah, the camera footage outside his cell was accidentally erased. I told my son, just wait, that man does not have long to live. He is sure to be Arkancided.
Sure enough, just three weeks later, the guards were asleep, the cameras turned off, and Epstein was found dead with broken bones in his crushed neck.
You are right to be suspicious. The opposition is evil.
and the guards just recently were acquitted… so The Epstein Issue is now officially over.
NOT acquitted…got slaps on the hand with NO jail time instead substituting “community service”
Didn’t Bill Barr describe the “death of Epstein” as a “Perfect Storm”?
The longer they can kick the can down the road, the colder the trail becomes and the more time for the FAKE NEWS arm of the DNC to brainwash the masses that there was NO fraud committed….out of sight, out of mind.
Also longer time for the people to see there was fraud. It is already happening. More people are becoming convinced there was fraud.
This is getting worse. These people are nuts. No evidence of election fraud – no way! We are over the target- people that have nothing to hide do not act this way.
Anyone know what happened to Dr. Kelli Ward?

Remember when after the 2000 election, The NY Times, Washington Post and a half dozen other state-run media outlets ran down to Florida to count ballots so they could prove Al Gore really won the election, but was denied the chance. Wanted to count all the hanging chads, dimpled chads, voter intent because the Gore chad was not marked?
Remember how the GOP of Florida fought tooth and nail to stop it? Oh that’s right, they didn’t. No lawsuits, no court orders, no running around trying to destroy evidence. In the end, the state-run media couldn’t pull off a Gore victory unless they pretzel twisted things around to say if ballots had been counted in a certain way he would have won.
Oh and for the 150,000th time libs, if Gore doesn’t lose his home state of Tennessee, then he wins because Florida wouldn’t have mattered.
I remember that slightly differently. There were at least some Rs fighting – the female Secretary of State at the time did.
I also remember the media making fun of the Rs’ “tasseled loafers” during some sort of in-person confrontation over the ballots.
Lee Harris, “Providence and Al Gore”:
“I had admired Gore’s father, one of the south’s most distinguished Senators, and, like many southerners, I assumed that the apple could not have fallen too far from the tree — and certainly it never occurred to me that it could have landed and rolled all the way across town.
But it did — a fact that I learned about three o’clock in the morning after the Election of 2000, when I woke up to hear that Gore had conceded the election to Bush, and then had called him back to tell him, Gosh, gee-wiz, he had changed his mind.
My first thought was: You simply don’t do that. It is a violation of the code of a gentleman — as corny as that might sound nowadays. And it disturbed me greatly, though in this case, as in many others, it was not at once clear to me why the retraction struck me as so intuitively wrong; and I went back to sleep naively thinking the media would slaughter Gore the next day for having done such a thing the night before.
I was soon disabused of my illusions about the media. None of the pleasant faces I saw on CNN or the other news channels seemed to suggest the slightest hint of disapproval for Gore’s conduct. (I did not then know that FOX News even existed.) What could be more natural, these pleasant faces seemed to suggest, than retracting one’s concession in a Presidential Election?
So I started to ask myself, Was I crazy? Certainly my response was not due to any partisan bias, since I had voted for Gore myself — voted, I hasten to add, for the image of Gore that I had developed prior to the retraction. In which case, why was I so deeply troubled by what he had done?
To concede to an opponent is to make a promise to him — the promise that, on my word of honor, I will do nothing to challenge your position as the winner. It is not to make a prediction, such as, “It looks like you will get more electoral votes than I.” After all, Gov. Bush could have figured this out quite easily on his own, and did not need a call from Gore to see what any fool could see by watching TV. But what no TV could have declared to Bush is that Al Gore had, after suitable deliberation and reflection, conceded the election to him, thereby bringing to a formal and even ritualistic conclusion yet another American election.
You cannot unconcede an election, just as you cannot take back your marriage vows, or unmake a promise. These are all acts that, once performed, create a wholly novel state-of-affairs, one in which Do-overs are no longer possible — at least not for grown ups.
This accounts for Gov. Bush’s shock at Gore’s second phone call — what Gore, in his ethical oblivion, referred to as Bush’s “getting snippy” with him. From Bush’s point of view, Gore’s retraction was simply unthinkable — it was a violation of the gentleman’s code that he quite naturally assumed must have been instilled into Gore.”…….
“From day one, I have encouraged Georgians with concerns about the election in their counties to pursue those claims through legal avenues. Fulton County has a long standing history of election mismanagement that has understandably weakened voters’ faith in its system. Allowing this audit provides another layer of transparency and citizen engagement,” he told The Epoch Times in an email earlier this week.
Well now, if the Georgia SOS is saying this, then those opposing the audit may have a problem,
Then again, we’re talking about decepticons and traitors to the Republic.
Meanwhile, in Idaho, a very savvy LIEUTENANT Governor shows the RINO governor how to follow the will of the people!

It gets even better… She has already announced she’s running for governor in 2020; and, this is a win/win for her even if the governor rescinds her mask ban!
OOPS! She’s running for governor in 2022! Not 2020…
come on man
don’t you know it was the Ukrainians that did it!
Russia is so yesterday

Certainly they are trying to postpone investigations until after the 22 elections. Can’t have any momentum get going with these election reviews..
I guess the good thing is that by their (and Michigan) desperate actions, its safe to assume nothing has been “fixed” or “washed” so that everything is sqeaky clean.
GARLAND FAVORITO UPDATES GA AUDIT… (& then some) Fulton County PANIC! GA SoS Lies! The whole 9…
https://youtu.be/x0x6_t8RtWQ
This is really worth watching!
Put it off a couple of months and it will go away.
Problem with that is PA, MI AND WI, AND… AZ. are auditing now.
Stacyzilla is kaput.
Brian Kemp literally giving away Georgia’s heritage to his real employer
btw, that phony Election Reform bill he signed didn’t touch the real fraud or they wouldn’t have let him sign it.
They’re lying to you. Now more than ever.
For some reason they don’t want us to prove, that this was in fact, a fair and honest election.
Heard a guest on Bannon this evening say that the defendants in this civil matter are being represented by some big-time criminal defense attorneys.
Doesn’t that tell us something?
….and from Garland says VERY expensive AND paid for by the GA taxpayers
Garland also said it’s a civil suit. Garland doesn’t seem concerned. He said they could use the time to better prepare their audit procedures.
There you go
https://rumble.com/vhpnn5-fulton-county-board-of-elections-lawyers-up-hires-top-criminal-defense-atto.html
Garland said it’s a civil case and not criminal. He doesn’t seem concerned. Said they could use the time to better their audit procedures. You should watch the video I posted above. Garland goes over everything.
You should listen to the video a posted above. Garland said it’s a civil case and not a criminal case. Garland said this is just ad delay tactic and they could actually use the time to better their audit procedures.
Hiring criminal defense attorneys indicates that there is a concern that criminal charges may be forthcoming because of this investigation. Any trial attorney can try to use delaying tactics. You wouldn’t seek out the services of expensive criminal defense attorneys if your concern was no more than running the clock.
they want people smart enough to run the machines and sumb enough to accept their condition, borrowing from George Carlin
These Judges need to have the Fear of GOD put into them
to get them to do anything Right !
YOU MUST DO MORE TO COUNTER DISINFORMATION.
—–
From: Jena Griswold
Colorado Secretary of State
To: Secretary Mayorkas and Acting Director Wales,
We want to thank the Department of Homeland Security’s Cyber and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) for its work countering disinformation on the electoral process. Your team’s work in this space was, simply put, invaluable.
More specifically, starting in 2018 and continuing through 2020, your Countering Foreign Influence and Elections Task Forces helped states understand the disinformation threat and had the tools to counter it. These efforts included providing classified and unclassified briefings; helping states inform their residents and local media of the threat to inoculate them from it; creating rapid response plans; ensuring disinformation was part of elections exercises; and facilitating collaboration with the private sector, academia, and think tanks. We also greatly appreciated CISA’s own efforts to increase Americans’ resilience to disinformation, such as regularly engaging the public on the threat and communicating facts through Rumor Control.
There have been some good and bad days in the election community since November. On one hand, election officials successfully ran multiple elections during a pandemic. The general election was the most secure in recent history. On the other hand, because of disinformation, some Americans now lack confidence in the electoral process. This is unfortunate and extremely concerning. Elections area core pillar of our democracy. Without confidence in the system, our country faces great challenges ahead.
But these problems do not mean CISA’s counter disinformation efforts—its support for states and individual actions—were unsuccessful. In fact, the opposite is true. Without this work and state initiatives supported by CISA, we are confident significantly more Americans would doubt the electoral process. And we are confident the country would be in a significantly worse place.
We have a lot of work to do to fortify Americans’ trust in elections. This is—hands down—one of the most important issues facing our country. Doing so will require countering disinformation on the electoral process, and state election officials need CISA’s help to do so. CISA must not only continue its counter disinformation work—but increase it.
The recent Director of National Intelligence, Federal Bureau of investigation, and CISA reports highlight this need. The documents make clear how significant the disinformation threat to the electoral process was last year, noting Iran and Russia conducted sizable operations to undermine Americans’ confidence in the system. But these reports do more. They also highlight that at least Russia almost certainly will continue to use disinformation to undermine our faith in elections.
We understand there may be concerns about initiatives that counter disinformation becoming mixed up with political issues. To be clear, we are not asking CISA to address disinformation on topics such as candidate’s positions on economic or social issues. That absolutely is not CISA’s role.
However, the electoral process—the system by which Americans register to vote, cast their ballot, and results are tallied—is not a political issue. It is a pillar of our democracy and a critical infrastructure sector. And, in our view, this absolutely is CISA’s responsibility to protect. It is essential to strengthen and maintain secure, functioning, and resilient critical infrastructure. Doing so traditionally has centered on enhancing physical and cyber security. But the world has changed and so have the threats and the defenses necessary to counter them. Addressing disinformation on the electoral process and renewing confidence in it is required to ensure its security.
Again, we cannot thank your teams enough for their work to counter disinformation the past few years. It was a huge success and shining example of how CISA and states can collaborate to secure America’s elections. We hope to be able to expand these efforts moving forward.
Please let us know if you have questions. We are more than happy to discuss these issues at any point.

Kevin Meyer

President and Chief Executive Officer Center for Internet Security
At the hearing entitled “Secure, Safe, and Auditable: Protecting the Integrity of the 2020”

“My name is John Gilligan, and I serve as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the nonprofit Center for Internet Security, Inc. (CIS). I have spent most of my career in service to the Federal government, including serving as the Chief In-formation Officer of both the U.S. Department of Energy, and the U.S. Air Force.”
“I would like to: (1) provide you a short background about CIS; (2) describe the role and functions of the Elections Infrastructure Information Sharing and Analysis Center (EI-ISAC), which we operate in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) with funding from Congress; (3) describe our collaboration with elections offices and key stakeholder organizations;”
Page: 7
“Misinformation Reporting Portal Pilot. CIS is currently producing a better means for 9election officials to report election infrastructure misinformation and disinformation to the social media platforms for their investigation and adjudication. Currently, a limited set of election offi-cials can report to Facebook and Twitter using the means provided directly by the social media platform. Elections officials must pre-register with the platform and report independently to each one. CIS is working to facilitate a single reporting portal where election officials can report the suspected misinformation and disinformation once, and have it distributed to the various so-cial media platforms. We have been working closely with DHS, NASS, and NASED, along with five States to vet and promote this concept to the social media platforms.
The Misinformation Reporting Portal will provide elections officials with a single place (i.e., the portal) for reporting mis- and disinformation across multiple social media platforms with a streamlined, consistent user experience. In addition, the entire elections community will have visibility of what’s going on with mis- and disinformation in the elections community with-in and outside their jurisdictions, including to see trends and be able to strategically respond. The portal will also streamline and standardize reporting for the social media organizations. In addition, voters will have the benefit of more rapid correction of erroneous information, leading to improved voter confidence.”
Read carefully the whole bit on “Three Recommendations to Continue Securing Elections“, starting on page 7 and continuing through page 9.
I wrote about the CIS & EDR partnership HERE yesterday, as well as CIS’s Albert and how EDR is recommended by Crowdstrike:
Page: 9
“CIS was grateful to be given funding from Congress and tasking from CISA to pilot EDR and the MDBR technology. We are already seeing that these technologies will be important capabilities to protect our elections infrastructure. Working with the EAC, we are piloting what we hope will be a much quicker and less costly process for verifying elections systems. We encourage Congress to continue to support experimentation and innovation so that we can continue to leverage the best talent and capabilities that the country has to offer in a way that produces the most value for the American taxpayer.”
“Address the impact of mis- and disinformation on elections: While we have made great strides in improving resilience against cyber threats, perhaps the biggest challenge that we face as a nation going forward is how we address the impact of mis- and disinformation on elections. While we treasure our rights granted to all citizens by the First Amendment, the power of social media in shaping opinions and attitudes is expanding rapidly. CIS is working to help address the challenge of identifying and reporting deliberate or accidental misinformation or disinformation that might prevent voters from exercising their right to vote. This is a first step. However, the broader challenge is to establish norms and conventions that will help voters understand what is factual and what is opinion or even deliberate attempts to mislead. We would encourage Congress to take an incremental approach to addressing this challenge.”
Note also the COLLABORATION with all the State Elections groups which I have said repeatedly is how they change election policy and procedures WITHOUT YOUR CONSENT OR KNOWLEDGE and then rhey CIRCLE THE WAGONS to PROTECT themselves.
MDBR Technology – CISA, CIS, et al, has established a partnership with a GLOBAL company called Akamai.

what if youre not on social media? millions of us arent. ooooops. however will they be able to counteract what we believe to be true? this will be interesting.
You are here. This is a form of social media. That is why Sundance was kicked off WordPress, as have many others. EVen though they won awards for best blog (did I get that right?) for many years, they ditched us anyway, w/minimal notice.

Beyond 2020: Policy Recommendations for the Future of Election Security
Feb 2021
https://www.belfercenter.org/publication/beyond-2020-policy-recommendations-future-election-security
“3. Increase trust in election integrity: There is a shared responsibility between election officials, state and federal officeholders, the private sector, and civil society organizations to bolster and maintain trust in elections. The 2020 election saw an unprecedented rate of domestic election mis- and disinformation, as well as historic interest in the election and nationwide voter turnout. As citizens become increasingly interested in the process of election administration and security—and as mis- and disinformation continues to spread—governments must be trusted sources of information who can credibly respond to concerns and rebut incorrect information. Dedicated, direct collaboration with private sector entities and civil society organizations can help bridge the gap and offer channels for swift response.”
“3. Increase trust in election integrity
CHALLENGE:
Strategies and structures to confront mis- and disinformation are fragmented and insufficient at the state and federal levels, and fail to hold social media platforms sufficiently accountable for protecting election integrity. Though election officials expected widespread mis- and disinformation from both foreign and domestic malicious actors—including state-sponsored efforts from Russia and Iran—domestic sources played a bigger role in sowing distrust in the 2020 election. Election officials were inundated by calls and threats regarding false claims of voter fraud both before and notably for many weeks after the election.42 On the final day of the 2020 election cycle, these threats culminated with an attack on the U.S. Capitol as Congress counted Electoral College votes—a visible manifestation of disinformation moving beyond the digital world, and a dramatic reminder that this challenge must be tackled proactively rather than reactively. In responding to mis- and disinformation, federal agencies collaborated with civil society organizations, private sector organizations, and election officials, as demonstrated by ESI’s Rumor Control initiative and the Elections Infrastructure Information Sharing and Analysis Center’s (EI-ISAC) cross-sector coordination. However, many of the collaborative efforts established to track and report issues for this election were hastily set up—and it’s unclear whether they will extend beyond the 2020 election cycle.43 Although leading social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook introduced new policies and processes in 2020 to support election officials with addressing mis- and disinformation and collaborated with government entities to monitor and mitigate disinformation on a limited basis, they also hindered information sharing with national security stakeholders and election officials through siloed, opaque communication.44
(3a) Expand proactive state communications efforts and civil society partnerships to improve public understanding of election processes and results.
(3b) Improve federal cross-sector coordination for effectively responding to mis- and disinformation.
(3c) Increase transparency and accountability of those who traffic election-related disinformation by empowering states to take legal action.
In 2018, the Allow States and Victims to Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA) carved out a new exception to Section 230—one of the most impactful clauses of the Communications Decency Act of 1996. Section 230 states that “no provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.”49 This protects websites that host speech from laws that might otherwise be used to hold them legally responsible for what their users say or do online and offline—and in turn, subverts the cost-benefit analysis of actively mitigating mis- and disinformation.50 Just as FOSTA holds social media firms accountable to fighting sex trafficking by reducing their legal protections, a new carve out of Section 230 can hold platforms accountable to fighting election-related disinformation during election season. This statute could narrowly permit states’ chief election officials to sue social media firms if they don’t do enough to remove mis- or disinformation about the elections they administer. Relevant content could include false information about how to vote and the election process, but also false allegations of fraud.“

I dont care what a single person on this earth says…….. for there to be such an aggravated push back against these recounts….. they know right at the very top that it was fixed……… and the next year is going to be great ……………….
What if there are no ballots at the ballot storage warehouse?
oh. that means nothing wrong was done.
The dog ate them. Nothing to see here. Please move along. All is well.
Our Great American President Donald J Trump and his Deplorable Army are up against evil personified. They know, we know and even some of the witless dullards aka democrats are getting it. As this lunacy is revealed more and more every day the tighter the noose will become on the criminals.
The criminals will not go into their goodnight without being shoved out.
Be cool, be prepared, stay alert, pray and act.
Problem we have
You can’t fix things within a corrupted system
Been thinking about Detective Fiction: hero realizes it’s only by going rogue that he/she has a chance of winning
Evil can only be defeated when the good (the Hero) decides to reluctantly use tactics of evil to fight back.
Judges, Politicians, Conservative Friendly Media …sadly fighting within system is a waste of time
In Detective Fiction common story question is this: once the hero fights evil using evil’s methods, is there ever a return back to normal?
I believe yes. Think of WWII and fight against Nazis. Bombing of Dresden. Evil methods became necessary and civilized life returned for at least a while.
That’s the choice we’re faced with today. Just my 2 cents.
Just look at Batman. There’s a guy who engages evil on its level to protect the good. And he’s still a superhero.
Jefferson had the answer to this dilemma…if only we had the resolve.
Arizona has pointed the way: any “lawsuit” can be blocked or gummed-up, but the State Legislature has “plenary” powers of its own. The voters in each state must demand that their Legislatures take action to ensure that the laws which they enacted were, or were not, faithfully carried out by their employees who were tasked with doing so “under penalty of law.” When they do this, “it is not a lawsuit” and does not concern the court system at all.
Because corrupt fack presiden joe B orders,i guessing,
It is so nice to see the Legal system working for the leftists again.
Funny how it always seems to eventually go one direction.
By thine own hand have they made themselves irrelevant. Their arrogance allows them to think they still have the power.
The election thieves higher up in the food chain MUST step in, once the local thieves are at risk of being exposed. So they’re doing so, and if they don’t, they are at risk of one of the local thieves flipping. The most “dangerous” person is often the honest prosecutor, and if election law has been broken at the local level, the person who broke the law is vulnerable to that prosecutor. They can be flipped. And the general public starts to notice things, once those prosecutions kick off. That’s what the Uniparty MUST avoid at all costs.
The Uniparty is powerful and can intimidate many, and control the media, and that all works right up ’til the point where somebody’s facing jail time.
I am posting this again because Garland goes over the entire current situation. He said this is a civil case and not criminal. Also doesn’t seem concerned with the delay. Said they actually need the time to better their audit procedures.

Watch this video! Garland answers all the questions. There is too much negative spin which is what the Commie Dems want.
