The Republican-controlled Arizona Legislature on Friday called for an independent audit of the Dominion voting system software used in Maricopa County. Giuliani, an attorney on Trump’s legal team, also revealed that a Michigan judge will order a forensic review of the 22 voting machines in Antrim County.
In fact, the voting machines and software used in the U.S. presidential election have become the focus of attention, and there is now growing evidence that they may have been involved in election fraud and may have been used by foreign powers to interfere in the U.S. election.
A former senior CIA official says the irregularities in this year’s U.S. presidential election bear a bizarre resemblance to the vote rigging that helped keep Hugo Chávez in power in 2004. Prior to Venezuela’s 2004 referendum, Smartmatic was awarded a $150 million contract to overhaul the country’s electoral system, the official said. Earlier, a whistleblower with a military background in Venezuela also said in sworn testimony that Smartmatic was involved in an attempt to support Chavez by manipulating the results of Venezuela’s election.
The official said that other irregularities that occurred during the 2004 Venezuelan referendum were repeated in U.S. cities in this year’s election.
The plan by Rep. Mo Brooks to challenge the electoral college vote is gaining more support as Trump’s team files legal challenges in several states.
Brooks said he will challenge the electoral college vote once it meets because of alleged election fraud in multiple states. He said he doesn’t think any electoral votes submitted by a state with a seriously flawed electoral system should be accepted.
Brooks said he has been receiving support from many members of Congress, many of whom have volunteered to join the effort.
The following are live updates on the status of the U.S. election.
Trump travels to Jo for rally to campaign for two federal senators.
President Donald Trump (Trump) travels to Georgia on Saturday (December 5) to campaign for the re-election of two Republican incumbent senators.
If the Democrats win both seats, they will gain control of the Senate. As a result, Trump and other Republicans are coming to support the campaign while challenging the outcome of the presidential election.
The president will hold a rally at Valdosta Regional Airport with Republican Senators Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue of Joe. First Lady Melania Trump will also be in attendance, as well as Public Service Commissioner candidate Lauren McDonald and other Republicans.
“See you tomorrow at 7 p.m. in Valdosta, Georgia!” Trump wrote in a tweet Friday night.
The president has been urging people to vote in the runoff (run-off) while emphasizing that the presidential election was fraudulent.
Both Loeffler and Perdue failed to win a majority of votes in last month’s primaries, triggering a runoff election to be held on Jan. 5, 2021. Loeffler, a businesswoman appointed last year following the retirement of Republican Senator Johnny Isakson of Georgia, will face Atlanta pastor Raphael Warnock, while Perdue’s challenger will be filmmaker Jon Ossoff.
Vice President Mike Pence has traveled to the state on Friday, his second trip to the state since the Nov. 3 election, a testament to the importance officials place on the runoff.
Congressman-elect supports Trump’s legal battle: our democracy depends on it
U.S. Representative-elect Lauren Boebert of Colorado told the Epoch Times that President Donald Trump (Trump) should continue his efforts to ensure a fair and free presidential election.
“This is a contested election. I believe that President Trump should do his best to use all the power he has as President of the United States to ensure that we have a free and fair election,” Lauren told the English-language Chronicle’s “American Thought Leaders” program.
“We need to study these allegations and we have to take them seriously. I believe President Trump has every legal right to do so, and I encourage him to do so.” “Our country does depend on it; our democracy depends on it; our republic depends on this election. If we don’t fix it this time, no one will ever trust our election system again.”
Although Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden declared victory in the general election, the winner is not yet clear because of contested results in key battleground states such as Georgia and Michigan.
Trump, his campaign and others have filed a series of lawsuits challenging election procedures and rules, alleging fraud and pointing to irregularities, such as the discovery of thousands of uncounted ballots in Georgia. and one county that initially said Biden won flipped about 6,000 votes from Democrats to Trump.
Lawsuit dismissed, Trump team to appeal to Nevada Supreme Court
A Nevada District Court judge has dismissed a lawsuit filed in the state by the Trump campaign that called for the court to void tens of thousands of ballots. Trump’s team said it would appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court.
In his order, Judge James Russell of Nevada’s 1st District Court said that the campaign had not shown that any illegal ballots were cast or counted “for improper or illegal reasons” or that any legal ballots were not counted. There was also insufficient evidence to cast doubt on the election results.
Russell also wrote that the campaign failed to prove that “the electronic voting machines malfunctioned in a manner sufficient to cast reasonable doubt on the results of the election” and that the campaign “did not prove” malfeasance on the part of the Board of Elections or any of its members.
“We disagree with the order,” Amanda Millius, a spokeswoman for Jesse Binnall, a lawyer on Trump’s legal team, said in an emailed statement.
She said, “The case and evidence we have presented is compelling and overwhelming. We will be appealing the decision to the Nevada Supreme Court.”
Trump’s attorneys had said in court that about 42,000 voters had “double voted” in Nevada and that 1,500 were listed as deceased by the Social Security Administration.
The team also said that 2,468 voters had changed their address to another country or state, about 20,000 voters were registered at non-Nevada addresses, and 6,000 voters had addresses marked by the U.S. Postal Service as undeliverable with blank addresses.
They also submitted evidence that nearly 8,000 ballots were cast “by voters whose (registered) addresses did not actually exist” and that about 15,000 voters who had voted had “registered addresses that were vacant or commercial properties.
Challenging the Electoral College Vote Gains Momentum, U.S. Congressman Details Strategy
In an interview with Mobile, Alabama radio station FM Talk 106.5 on Friday, Congressman Mo Brooks explained his plan to challenge the electoral college vote. He said that Congress has the final say and that his push in the House is gaining momentum.
Brooks also told Newsmax TV on Friday that he will challenge the electoral college vote once it meets because of alleged voter fraud.
“The U.S. Congress has the final say on which states’ electoral votes they can accept and which they can reject,” Brooks told Newsmax TV’s “The American Agenda.” “And I don’t think we should accept any electoral votes submitted by a state whose electoral system is seriously flawed.”
Brooks told the Mobile station, “On the House side, there is a strong momentum in favor of opposing the electoral votes submitted by the states (swing states). To name a few, Nevada, Georgia, Pennsylvania. Clearly, based on the overwhelming evidence, Donald Trump could easily win these three states if the law is followed and if only the legal votes of U.S. citizens are counted,”
Brooks told Newsmax TV, “I’ve been getting a lot of support from members of Congress who have come to me. I didn’t ask them to join this effort. They’ve asked me to get them on board with this effort, and I welcome that assistance.”
Newly elected federal Republican Congressman Barry Moore of Alabama announced plans to join Brooks in challenging the results of the electoral college votes submitted by key swing states in early January of next year.
“A lot of people don’t understand,” Brooks explained, “and they think the courts will settle these disputes. That’s wrong. The courts can influence the (election) results, no doubt, just as they did in 2000. But in Article 1, Sections 4 and 5 of the U.S. Constitution, the 2nd and 12th Amendments, the U.S. Congress has the absolute final say in election disputes involving any federal elected office. That is the relationship between the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the White House (among others). I hope we can exercise that authority to protect the sanctity of our voting system and stop the election theft that undermines the credibility of our republic,” Brooks explained.
Newport for Sichuan Campaign Citizens Chant to Uphold Constitution
After last weekend, November 20-22, people in Southern California held several “Stop the Steal” events in support of Donald Trump, this week, from Thursday, November 3 to Sunday, November 6, there were several events held in Southern California to support Trump and demand fair elections and stop stealing elections.
They waved flags, chanted “Stop the Steal”, demanded fair coverage of election fraud by mainstream media and social media, and honked their horns as well as planted pro-Trump flags on cars.
California-born and -raised Hispanic Antoinette Del Peral argues that election fraud by the Democratic Party is no longer tolerated and that mail-in ballots are a persistent problem. And there’s also no room for social media filtering, she said: “There’s a lot of concern that the mainstream media is misrepresenting the election one way or the other, but now is not the time to give up, we have to fight for this free country.”
Erich Derbsch, an Orange County resident, came to the event in Newport Beach to support Trump. He believes that Trump should have received more votes and that election fraud in the swing states stole the votes that went to Trump. He said, “The tide of support is going to grow, and we can’t afford to have the country stolen any longer.”
Linwood: Joe must fix election process before Senate re-election
In an interview with NTD, Lin Wood, a prominent U.S. attorney, urged that Georgia Governor Brian Kemp must call a special legislative session to scrutinize the election process; the process should be amended before the Jan. 5 rerun election for Joe’s two Senate seats.
“There’s a lot of evidence (of fraud) presented in hearings and lawsuits that people shouldn’t turn a blind eye to,” Linwood said.
“Look at that video.” Linwood was referring to a video from the Fulton County Election Center showing four workers who appeared to be handling ballots pulling boxes of ballots from underneath a table after people had been told to go home.
“He (the governor) will have to acknowledge that there was clearly serious election fraud in Fulton County – maybe this one county will be enough to flip President Trump,” He said.
Attorney Linwood is currently working with attorney Sidney Powell to file lawsuits challenging the election results in several swing states. Linwood said a forensic review of Georgia’s ballots must be conducted.
Arizona Legislature demands immediate audit of Dominion voting system
The Arizona Senate and House of Representatives have requested an audit of the election software and equipment used in Maricopa County.
At a press conference on Friday (Dec. 4), Republican leaders in the Republican-controlled state legislature called for an independent audit of the Dominion Voting Systems software used in Maricopa County.
This follows allegations of fraud and other irregularities in the system made by President Trump’s team earlier this week.
State House Majority Leader Warren Petersen, a Republican, said, “A significant number of voters believe that the election was fraudulent,” citing “numerous irregularities” that allegedly took place in Maricopa County and elsewhere in the state.
Particularly worrisome,” he said, “are the allegations surrounding Dominion’s vendors. He added that the county government needs to conduct a “forensic audit of the Dominion software to ensure the accuracy of the vote count.”
Former U.S. Official: U.S. Election Repeats Venezuela Election Malpractice Case
A former senior CIA official says the irregularities in this year’s U.S. presidential election bear a bizarre resemblance to the vote rigging that helped keep Hugo Chávez in power in 2004.
He described Chávez, who ruled Venezuela from 1999 to 2013, as a “new type of dictator. Upon taking office, Chávez amended the country’s constitution to increase the presidential term from five to six years, but allowed his presidency to be revoked in a popular referendum that required the signatures of 20% of all 11 million voters.
By 2003, Chavez’s opponents had managed to gather enough signatures to trigger the referendum. “That’s when he started to panic,” the former intelligence officer, who is also an expert in Latin American politics and counterterrorism, told the Chronicle, “so he started talking to a company called Indra, a Spanish company that runs elections.”
According to him, the technology Indra was using at the time was not “flexible” enough to do what Chavez wanted to do. The regime then turned to Smartmatic, a company registered in Delaware and founded by three young Venezuelan engineers, he said. Prior to the 2004 referendum, Smartmatic was awarded a $150 million contract for an overhaul of the country’s electoral system, after which it bought machines from Italian lottery machine maker Olivetti.
He said, “At midnight on election day, the machines stopped counting votes.” At that point in time, Chavez was losing the election. “(Yet) by 3 a.m., Chavez had won 10 percent of the vote.”
After the U.S. election in November, a whistleblower with a military background in Venezuela said in sworn testimony on Nov. 16 that Smartmatic was involved in an attempt to support Chavez by manipulating the results of the Venezuelan election, according to The Epoch Times.
The former CIA official said that other irregularities that occurred during the 2004 Venezuelan referendum were repeated in U.S. cities in this year’s election. He noted that at a Nov. 25 hearing in Philadelphia, observers testified that the city’s election commission processed hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballots “without any civilian oversight or observation.”
The expert said Venezuelan election officials had been asked to do exactly the same thing to help Chavez win the 2004 referendum.
“That’s what happened in Venezuela in 2004,” he said, “They had a book, they had a manual. They tell you exactly what you need to do in order to commit fraud.”
