Executive Summary

 

11/3/2020 Election Results: Primary Findings

Two primary categories of ineligible ballots and election mishandling, encompassing hundredsof thousands of votes, render the 2020 General Election in Maricopa County

uncertifiable

.An estimated

173,104

 votes are missing or lost, as reported to our volunteers who went doorto door verifying registration and voting information for thousands of residents. These areAmerican citizens living in Maricopa County who cast a vote, primarily by mail, in the electionand yet there is no record of their vote with the county and it was not counted in the reportedvote totals for the election. Additionally an estimated

96,389

 mail-in votes were cast underthe names of registered voters who were either unknown to the residents of the registrationaddress or who were verified as having moved away prior to October 2020. Otherirregularities were uncovered during the canvass at a smaller scale,

 

including votes cast by

 

mail from vacant lots, votes recorded from residents who had not actually voted, etc.These results are a travesty to our democracy and our voting rights. In addition to impactedlocal races, such as Maricopa County Board of Supervisors District 1, decided by 403 votes, keystatewide race margins are well within the numbers shown above. The Presidential race wasdecided by 10,457 votes statewide, and the U.S. Senate election was decided by 78,886 votesstatewide.

Solution: Ban Vote-by-mail

It is obvious to anyone that voting by mail is ripe for fraud. The US Mail is not meant to be asecure transactional system. W

e have all known since we were children that you don’t send

cash through the mail

 –

our voting rights are far more sacred than cash. Bipartisan andDemocrat Voter studies and commissions have found vote-by-mail to have the highest risk offraud

 and most first-world democracies, such as Germany, either ban Vote-by-Mail outrightor place very heavy restrictions on its use. Banning Vote-by-mail is a very simple solution to ahuge problem for our Country. We cannot give up our fundamental right to vote, upon whichAmerica was built, simply because we are too lazy to go cast a vote in person.

Why does the problem of vote fraud exist?

Here, we can only speculate. But we all know that history often repeats itself,especially if forgotten.

It has become a modern day mantra that the right to vote by “secret ballot” is a sacred

American right. But this is actually untrue. Until the late 1800s all votes in all Stateswere public information.

The move to the secret ballot occurred state-by-state from1888-1950 to combat voter fraud

 Over the first 100 years of our great republic, acottage industry was established in voter fraud vote buying and selling. Vote fraud wasa massive problem for our Country. Moving to a secret ballot made it harder for votebuyers to monitor which candidates vote sellers had voted for. Voter turnout fellbetween 8% and 12% as the States adopted the secret ballot and people were nolonger being paid to vote.It is quite likely that many ridiculous and frivolous arguments were put forth in thoseStates in attempts to prevent secret ballot legislation from passing by those wholeveraged the vote fraud to win elections and those who profited from it.We now see history repeating, with a system ripe for fraud and clear evidence of fraudoccurring on a massive scale. The fraud likely existing as a means of revenue for thosewho are able to defraud the system, and for an easy way to shift election results forthose who can pay. And again we have ridiculous and frivolous arguments being putforth against common sense legislation to secure the rights of honest American citizensto vote and have their vote count.If I were to further speculate, I would say I believe that the people who work for andrun Maricopa County are good people and likely have no idea that their voting processis being manipulated for financial gain. I believe it far more likely that small groups ofbad actors (criminals) operating at local levels both here and in other parts of thecountry engineered ways to defraud their particular voting systems and processes andthen likely sell those services to other mostly local small groups of bad actors whowork for candidates fixing elections, probably most likely and most often unknown to

the candidates themselves. That was the previous pattern in our Country and it makessense. Far more likely than grand conspiracies and entire election departments being

“in on it.”
