How US 2020 Election Audits are Moving Forward in Arizona, Georgia, & New Hampshire No Matter What

The US 2020 election controversy is continuing to haunt the nation, with partisan and civil enthusiasts launching re-examinations of ballots despite the Democratic Party’s smearing the initiative as an attempt to undermine the public trust in Joe Biden’s win.

Arizona, Georgia, and New Hampshire have recently proceeded with audits of the 2020 voting results. However, none of these efforts will change the outcome of last year’s race.

Arizona

Arizona auditors have been examining 2.1 million ballots cast and 385 tabulators in Maricopa County since 23 April. Although the county has already held two forensic audits, in February 2021 the Arizona GOP won a case in which it sought a third recount and examination of election equipment in Maricopa. Last November, Joe Biden won it with a margin of roughly 45,000 votes.

So far, over 500,000 ballots have been reviewed by a team of independent auditors hired by the state’s Senate. Auditors have already stumbled upon various issues, including missing passwords and allegedly deleted databases as well as controversies surrounding the chain of custody and ballot organisation.

he Maricopa Board of Supervisors vehemently denied any inconsistencies related to election procedures and processes, urging the Senate GOP to halt the ongoing audit.

After the auditors refused to back down from their claim that the county destroyed evidence by deleting an election database, the Maricopa officials threatened to file a defamation lawsuit against them. County officials specifically told Senate President Karen Fann and those involved in the audit to preserve all records related to the effort, including emails and text messages, computer files, cellphones, and other devices, according to NBC News.

Georgia

Meanwhile, on 21 May a judge green-lit the unsealing of 147,000 mail-in ballots cast in the 2020 November election in Georgia’s Fulton County which was decisively won by Biden last November.

Last year, a group of voters organised by Voter GA, a volunteer coalition of citizens and organisations advocating open and secure election procedures, filed a petition requesting a forensic inspection of mail-in ballots from the 2020 election. The petitioners cited an allegedly abnormal vote increase for Joe Biden as well as similarly abnormal reduction in Trump’s tabulation, among other issues. It is expected that representatives of state officials and petitioners will meet at the Fulton County ballot storage location on 28 May.

“From day one I have encouraged Georgians with concerns about the election in their counties to pursue those claims through legal avenues”, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger told The Epoch Times in an email. “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”.

The media outlet remarked, however, that Raffensperger asked the judge last month not to grant petitioners access to the physical ballots. 

New Hampshire

On 11 May, an audit team started a forensic examination of the 2020 election results in Windham over alleged election night machine malfunctions. In contrast to the two aforementioned audits, the recount is not related to the 2020 presidential race and was requested by a Democrat.

Last November, all four Windham state representative seats went to Republicans. Kristi St. Laurent, a Democratic candidate who lost a November race by a paper-thin margin of 24 votes, appealed for a recount arguing that either election machines were incorrectly programmed or a significant number of ballots were double counted during the counting process. Previously, a hand recount revealed that St. Laurent lost 99 votes while GOP candidates received 300 additional votes.

In April, New Hampshire’s Republican Gov. Chris Sununu authorised a forensic analysis and a comprehensive recount of the 2020 election votes in Windham with a focus on AccuVote machines scanning. On 17 May, independent election auditors examining vote discrepancies suggested that machine scanners could have interpreted the fold lines as a vote when they go through a “vote target”, or a candidate’s name on the ballot, according to WMUR.

​”Throughout New Hampshire, you’re using the same voting machines, the AccuVote, and in principle, it could be an issue”, said auditor Philip Stark as quoted by the media outlet. “It really depends where the folds are in relation to the vote targets”.

While examining this hypothesis, the auditors tweeted earlier this week that one machine at a school indicated that only 28 percent of 75 votes for each GOP candidate were actually counted.

​Despite the apparent controversy involving voting machines, one of the auditors, Harri Hursti, confirmed to CNN that their review has not found any proof of “widespread fraud”.

According to the Associated Press, the push for reviewing the 2020 election results is spreading across US states, with officials in Michigan’s Antrim County debating a review of their voting machines on 25 May, although last week a judge dismissed a lawsuit seeking a statewide election audit in Michigan.

For his part, former President Donald Trump is calling upon the GOP to support local initiatives:

“Why aren’t Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Republicans doing anything about what went on in the 2020 Election?”, Trump asked. “How can the Democrats be allowed to get away with this? It will go down as the Crime of the Century! Other States like Arizona, Georgia (where a judge just granted a motion to unseal and inspect ballots from the 2020 Election), Michigan, Pennsylvania, and more to follow”.

Biden Orders US Intel To ‘Analyze’ Information On Possible Wuhan Lab Leak

Sleepy Joe admits that one intel agency is ‘leaning toward’ the lab leak scenario being most likely.

After being slammed for shutting down a Trump State Department investigation into the origins of COVID, and then indicating there would not be any investigation, Joe Biden has now claimed that he tasked the Intelligence Community with looking into the matter in March, and has now again asked for a ‘redoubling’ of their efforts and a new report in 90 days.

A statement by Biden claims that the findings in March did not constitute ‘sufficient information’ to come to any conclusion on the origin of the virus, but it does admit that at least one element of the intelligence community believes that the virus leaked from the lab in Wuhan.

The claim that just one element of the IC ‘leans toward’ the lab leak theory does not coalesce with reports from a year ago in which senior intelligence sources suggested that most of the 17 agencies in the US believed the coronavirus came from a Chinese lab.

At the time, however, the sources said the agencies were still looking for a ‘smoking gun’.

Trump Issues Memorial Day Warning to Americans

Former President Donald Trump released a statement on Thursday to blame President Joe Biden for rising gas prices as Americans prepare to celebrate Memorial Day.

“With Memorial Day Weekend coming up, tomorrow people start driving in the biggest automobile days of the year,” Trump said in the statement.

“I’m sorry to say the gasoline prices that you will be confronted with are far higher than they were just a short number of months ago where we had gasoline under $2 a gallon,” the former president added.

Trump used the increase in gas prices to highlight his own efforts as president.

“Remember as you’re watching the meter tick, and your dollars pile up, how great of a job Donald Trump did as President,” the former president said.

Texas Republican Sen. Ted Cruz tweeted about the nation’s increased gas prices in March, noting a 28 percent increase in the first two months Biden was in office.

USA Today removes the word ‘male’ from op-ed about trans athletes… and apologizes for using ‘hurtful language’

USA Today has been accused of capitulating to the woke mob after it edited out the word ‘male’ from an op-ed arguing against allowing transgender people to compete in women’s sports, reportedly without the author’s consent.

The outlet published a piece last week penned by Chelsea Mitchell, one of four female high-school athletes who filed an unsuccessful lawsuit last year challenging Connecticut’s decision to allow biological males to compete in girls’ athletics.

The champion runner wrote that she was deprived of multiple titles and awards because she had been forced to compete against athletes with “an enormous physical advantage: a male body.”

In her op-ed, she retold the “devastating” feeling of losing to “male runners,” saying that such experiences made her feel as if her body “wasn’t good enough” to overcome the physiological advantages enjoyed by her transgender competitiors. 

She noted that in Connecticut, two transgender athletes who began racing in girls’ track in 2017 were able to win 15 women’s state championship titles over a three-year period. These same titles were held by nine different girls in 2016. 

But Connecticut officials are “determined to ignore” why the two runners enjoyed such success, Mitchell argued. 

“[M]ales have massive physical advantages. Their bodies are simply bigger and stronger on average than female bodies. It’s obvious to every single girl on the track,” she wrote.

Mitchell closed the op-ed by vowing to continue to fight for “all female athletes,” stating that she and her co-plaintiffs are appealing the court ruling that struck down their complaint.

Patrick Byrne Defends His 2020 Election Claims, Describes Trump’s Missed Opportunity To Stop The Steal

Stew Peters asked hard questions about the seemingly fanciful claims made by those in the Stop the Steal movement, and received full answers from Patrick Byrne.

Radio host Stew Peters interviewed former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne, now the founder of The American Project, about Byrne’s bombshell claims regarding potential foreign involvement in what he describes as the theft of the 2020 presidential election from President Donald Trump, and asks what Byrne believes President Trump could have done differently to remain in office for a second term.

Since November 3, Byrne has become a central figure in the Stop The Steal movement, and has made claims about election theft in six cities residing in battleground states that conspicuously flipped from President Trump to Joe Biden during late night hours, in some cases after observers were sent home due to spurious reasons or blocked from viewing the vote counting.

Peters specifically asked if Byrne is working with the FBI or federal government in his attempt to expose what he believes happened in 2020, Byrne replied, “I am not only not working with the FBI or the federal government, I suspect I’ve angered a lot of people there.” He then suggested, “I wouldn’t be surprised if they make it a crime… I’m investigating this as a journalist, maybe they’re going to come out and say the First Amendment doesn’t apply. I’m not working with the FBI and if anything I can tell you that the Washington authorities would love to block all this and make it go away.”

Peters specifically asked if Byrne is working with the FBI or federal government in his attempt to expose what he believes happened in 2020, Byrne replied, “I am not only not working with the FBI or the federal government, I suspect I’ve angered a lot of people there.” He then suggested, “I wouldn’t be surprised if they make it a crime… I’m investigating this as a journalist, maybe they’re going to come out and say the First Amendment doesn’t apply. I’m not working with the FBI and if anything I can tell you that the Washington authorities would love to block all this and make it go away.”

“I knew about, let’s call it the Italian Job, probably by November 10,” said Byrne. “I’ve been aware and played some background role and other than that I don’t want to comment on the Italian Job. I don’t know myself for sure what to believe, the whole case can be made without the Italian Job.” He added, “I can’t say anything definitive one way or another. I’ve left that matter.”

Peters then asked a viewer’s question about why he is publicly supporting President Trump and why he aided his efforts to expose credible claims of widespread voter fraud and election interference despite not voting for him. “If we let a rigged election stand, that’s our last freedom. We will never be a free nation again. This is the end, I really think the American Republic may be coming to an end if we don’t get this straightened out,” Byrne told Peters.

Why The Biden White House Declared War On Classical Beauty In Architecture

On Monday, President Joe Biden broke with a century of precedent by demanding the resignations of four members of the U.S. Commission on Fine Arts.

Classical architecture is not a partisan issue.

President Thomas Jefferson, founder of the Democratic Party, was an enthusiastic champion of the Greek Revivalism thankfully still visible in both the capital and his Monticello home. When he designed the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, he took great care in the landscaping and architecture, knowing their likely effects on generations of young minds.

Fifty years later, President Abraham Lincoln insisted that construction of the Washington Monument and U.S. Capitol continue despite the bloody and costly war taking place sometimes just 50 miles from the seat of government. Public beauty in civic buildings, he believed, was crucial to the future of the Union.

Democrat President Franklin Delano Roosevelt drew inspiration from the great Republican of the Civil War, championing the classical and moving ahead with Washington construction as he sought to prepare the country for the world war he saw descending on our fragile peace.

Democrat Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan played an interesting role in Washington’s architectural history, both helping to craft the 1962 General Guidelines that undid more than 50 years of ordered-classical government buildings, then later criticizing the modernism that took its place.

“Twentieth Century America,” he lamented in 1970, “has seen a steady, persistent decline in the visual and emotional power of its public buildings, and this has been accompanied by a not less persistent decline in the authority of its public order.”

The preference for the classical is not simply confined to politicians but is immensely popular with the public that lives among these buildings and sees them in either their daily business or on trips to their cities. A survey conducted by The Harris Poll and commissioned by the classicist National Civic Art Society found that, when presented with a picture of a modernist courthouse and a classical one, members of the public preferred the classical design by nearly 3:1, regardless of age, sex, or race.

But in academia and among elite art and architecture circles, the preferences of the American people and its leaders past and present are passe at best, and fascist at worst. On Monday, President Joe Biden broke with a century of precedent by demanding the resignations of four members of the U.S. Commission on Fine Arts, including Chas Fagan,  Steven Spandle, Perry Guillot, and Commission Chairman Justin Shubow. His reason? He doesn’t like the classic aesthetic.

“The counsel’s office,” Bloomberg reports, “advised that President Joe Biden has the authority to remove the commissioners, whose staunch support for classical architecture does not align with his values.”

Fagan is a renowned sculptor and painter whose statue of former President Ronald Reagan stands in the Capitol Rotunda, whose statue of civil rights icon Rosa Parks stands in the National Cathedral, and whose paintings include the Vatican’s official portrait of St. Mother Theresa and first lady Barbara Bush’s official portrait.

Shubow serves as the president of the National Civic Art Society, a non-profit organization that fights for classicism in public works, and is at the forefront of the battle to rebuild Manhattan’s destroyed Penn Station. Guillot’s works include the new White House Rose Garden and Children’s Garden, and Spandle’s work includes the White House’s beautiful new Tennis Pavilion.

The four men come from different backgrounds and disciplines, but all appear to have been targeted for removal to create a more “diverse” and less classically oriented commission, despite Guillot not considering himself a classicist and Shubow being the first Jewish chairman in the history of the commission.

Their replacements include urban planner and Howard University architecture professor Hazel Ruth Edwards, Andrew Mellon Foundation program officer Justin Garrett Moore, architect Billie Tsien, whose firm is responsible for the Obama Presidential Library design, and Peter D. Cook, whose designs include the Smithsonian’s sandcrawler-esque National Museum of African American History and a pavilion seemingly inspired by the Star Trek badge.

The purge, The Washington Post reports, followed a complaint from the deputy mayor of D.C., who told the Biden White House that because of the commission’s power to approve the city’s development, its members “could impede Washington’s progress toward racial and economic equity, climate change and affordable housing.”

All four replacement commissioners are modernists, none identify as white males, and three — Ruth Edwards, Garrett Moore and Tsien — are outspoken allies of the administration’s focus on race (and racism) in everything and above all else. “Biden,” the Post’s chosen search-engine headline reads, “removes four white men from Commission of Fine Arts.”
