Fraud Or Not?

Some Data:
I think Trump should examine and question the voting process as well the tallying of votes in places that look suspicious. Whether there was manipulation of votes or not, proving it will be difficult. Republicans will need access to evidence and cooperation to get such access. They seem to be getting neither.
Without being on the ground looking at ballots, time stamps/ postmarks or interviewing people, all I can do is look at the numbers from 10,000 feet. Some of the numbers look suspicious and yield insight into where I’d look for fraud.
In PA, excluding absentee votes Biden got 2,424,259 votes or 44.1%. Trump got 3,079,599 or 55.9%. Typically the absentees will look similar. In this race, though, Biden is typically gaining 5% to a bit more in the absentee voting in non-contested states (what I would call the control group). There seems to be a bit of a Biden absentee gain. However, in PA Biden won the absentee vote 926,275 or with 79.1%. See chart 1. That is a 35 percentage point gain! I find that unbelievable.
Look at the blue states nearby. In VA Biden had 54% of the vote overall, and 62% absentee. In NY Biden got 58% overall and 63% absentee. In Illinois Biden got 54% overall and 62% absentee. In Maryland Biden got 63% overall and 68% absentee. There are not 30 percentage point pick-ups or anything close.
In PA I would examine those absentee ballots in the bluest counties and look for fraud or irregularities there. See chart 2.
What is concerning is officials in these key Democrat cities were not allowing Republican observers to look at the vote tallying. That adds suspicion. Republicans also seemed to do well in the election picking up seats in the US House, picking up three state legislatures and one governorship. Trump is wise to examine all this closer especially in key Democrat cities in these swing states.
In GA Biden won by 10,000 votes out of 5 million cast in the state. Nothing. Days before they time stamp and fill out 25,000 ballots, checking off Biden. After the polls close on Election Eay, they identify 15,000 who did not vote, then click they have voted, then drop 15,000 of the absentee ballots for Biden that were pre-time stamped and pre-filled out. Unless someone is looking closely or not at all because officials have blocked access, this would not be hard to do, but difficult to uncover after the fact.
In GA, I would examine the bluest counties where Biden over-performed Hillary. Fulton county 72.6% Biden and 67.7% Hillary; DeKalb 83.1% Biden and 79.1% Hillary; Clayton 85.0 vs 83.6%.
Other Things As Well:
People think fraud only means stuffing the ballot box by the other party. It could be indepdent folks for the cause who vote but no longer live in the state. Someone voting as a person who is dead. Someone back dating a time stamp. There could be wayward poll workers who did things they should not have local to one county. It could be an illegal vote, like an absentee vote being counted where they refuse observers. There could a worker curing a ballot that is not allowed under the law. It could be a state court changing a law that it has no basis to change under the US Constitution and turning some votes into illegal ones. There could be a mistake like wrongly adding votes or a computer malfunction like in MI. They are looking at all these things.
Institutions Have Been Politically Weaponized:
Let’s face it, much of what is at the national level has been weaponized in the effort to gain an advantage going into the next election. The FBI and intelligence agencies spied on the Trump campaign, using bogus dossiers. Officials tried to frame Trump for a campaign disclosure violation for paying off a mistress. The three year and $50 million government hoax of Russian-Trump election collusion and how the once objective media continue to fuel it. Trump was impeached over a phone call where the guy on the other end said nothing was wrong. They also tried to hang on him things like obstruction of justice (another crime) and violation of the emoluments clause (yet another). Even the NBA and sneaker companies are now politically biased and in the political arena. Once objective groups like the ACLU are in the political tank as well.
Bedrock institutions and our founding principles are crumbling before our eyes, and have been for years now.
Would it be a surprise if a handful of precincts in a few counties in long held Democrat cities to manipulated elections totals? I don’t think so. Given some things look suspicious, Trump would be a fool to concede now and not push to investigate this, given most everything at the national level has been corrupted by political bias.
P.S. Evidently, the impeachment charges did weaken the President. Impeachment has proven to be an effective political tool. As a result, we going to see Presidents regularly impeached. If the opposing party in the House disagrees with the President, there will be impeachment charges, used as a political tool to weaken the President going into the next election.
Time For A National Review:
If you don’t agree with Trump examining the votes, I hope most will agree the voting system, rules and procedures of who can vote, when and how has been bent out of shape.
For example, universal mail in voting is insane. The potential for corruption and ballot theft and tampering is unlimited with that system. This is the system now in many states where they mail ballots to all registered voters, unsolicited. Click here The moment you mail ballots to everyone registered, especially those who have no desire to vote, have moved or died but are still registered, the ballot becomes a commodity, and all commodities have a value and will be traded.
In a campaign, the aim shifts from convincing Mr. Voter to vote for Candidate Jones, to how do we get control of Mr. Voter’s ballot and all those mailed to his home? I can picture it now, door knockers talk to Mr. Voter and Mr. Voter says, “Sure I’ll vote for you, I have my wife’s ballot here. I’ll fill that out for you, and my daughter’s too who moved and my mom’s who is no longer here but in a nursing home. I’ll check them all for Candidate Jones.”
Let me explain it. Anyone who has been involved in elections can see the potential for fraud here. Absentee ballots are inside an outside envelope that is either mailed in with a postmark on it or dropped off at the election office and it would have a time stamp. Usually on election day the absentee ballots are opened with the candidates or agents of the candidates watching. Initially, the inspectors will check the name and compare it with the one on the voter registration list. They will check the time stamp or postmark. If it checks out, the outside envelope is opened and they make sure the ballot is properly filled out. If so, it is added to the tally. If envelope or ballot lacks any of that, it is not considered valid under the law.
Look at any of the videos of them counting absentees in these large rooms in places like Detroit or Philly, table after table. When they open the envelopes there are no Republican or Democrat observers examing each one. No inspection process. They just open the envelope, discard it and put the ballot in the stack accepting them all. For all we know, Joe Biden could have been in the back with 50,000 absentee envelopes/ ballots prefilled out with voters from Mars, and handed them in. The "process" we are watching on TV with no inspector would never catch it.
We have no idea if that happened or not, but the potential is high in the process we all saw on TV. Additionally, some of the overall data looks suspicious as I mentioned in this letter. An investigation is needed to look closer at the outside envelopes, ballots and even question some of the workers who received these ballots in mass.
One final point, I think this was by design. To create so many mail in absentee ballots that they'd overwhelm the process. There is no way you can have enough inspectors to man each table. And if it was done right, the vote count would take 3 weeks. If we don't investigate this and allow this universal mail in voting to occur the fraud will be massive because there are no checks on it.
Pollsters who now look like they are trying to surpress Republican votes than providing a public service. They need to be looked at.
The national election process must be reviewed by Congress and state legislatures for the opportunities for fraud and tampering with ballots, assessing the pitfalls of universal mail in voting and recommendations made to standardize who can vote, when they can vote and how they will cast their vote.
For example, we should have in person voting on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Limited absentee voting. And never any universal mail in voting where states mail ballots out to all registered voters. Other than in person voting and voter driven voting, it invites the opportunity for fraud.
