Vote-Fraud Whistleblower Reveals Five Methods Dems Use to Rig Elections

A veteran vote-rigger caused ripples Saturday by offering up a detailed account of his methods for throwing the election in three different states.

The Democratic operative, who remained anonymous since the crime is considered a felony when enforced, said he had spent decades involved in vote-fraud on a grand scale, the New York Post reported.

“An election that is swayed by 500 votes, 1,000 votes—it can make a difference,” he said. “It could be enough to flip states.”

The former Bernie Sanders supporter said he was coming forward out of concern for the glaring security problems that could plunge the nation into chaos—or even civil war—if the outcome is disputed.

“This is a real thing,” he said.

“And there is going to be a f**king war coming Nov. 3 over this stuff,” he continued. “… If they knew how the sausage was made, they could fix it.”

Among the methods he outlined were producing counterfeit ballots using a photocopy machine and then collecting certified envelopes through ballot harvesting.

His team of operatives would use steam to unseal the glue and then replace the completed ballots with their counterfeit ones.

“Five minutes per ballot tops,” he said.

He also warned that sometimes postal workers could be recruited to conduct an inside job.

“You have a postman who is a rabid anti-Trump guy and he’s working in Bedminster or some Republican stronghold … He can take those [filled-out] ballots, and knowing 95% are going to a Republican, he can just throw those in the garbage,” said the person.

Other methods of committing fraud included:

  • Ballot harvesting from nursing homes
  • Impersonating voters in polling stations that did not require voter identification
  • Bribing voters in places like homeless shelters

Democrats have actively pushed to loosen voting restrictions on absentee ballots, with some blue states even sending ballots to every voter on their rolls.

Meanwhile, they have long fought efforts to update those rolls in the face of considerable evidence that thousands of votes are sent to the wrong address.

But even so, the statistics only tell a small part of the story for votes that are returned or discovered to be improperly cast.

They cannot account for districts where corruption reigns supreme where the bad-faith electioneering efforts of vote riggers succeed in swaying the outcome.

In addition to the perennially blue New Jersey and New York, the vote-rigger said he had previously worked on elections in Pennsylvania, a toss-up state that Trump won in 2016 that figures to play prominently in the 2020 calculus also.

“There is no race in New Jersey—from city council to United States Senate—that we haven’t worked on,” the tipster said.

Many were surprised when New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez won re-election despite a major ethics scandal that allegedly implicated him in a child-prostitute ring.

But much of the election-fixing work is done from the ground up at the grassroots level, said the whistleblower.

“I worked on a fire commissioner’s race in Burlington Count,” said the person. “The smaller the race, the easier it is to do.”

All have been the focus of major scandals involving vote fraud recently.

In Paterson, NJ, it was revealed that 20% of the mail-in ballots for a recent municipal race were fraudulent.

That forced a judge to nullify the results of a May special election, but even so New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy insisted that the state would go through with its plans for mostly mail-in ballots.

In Philadelphia, where suburban voters play a crucial role in deciding the outcome of the presidential race and congressional majority, federal officials uncovered a massive ballot-stuffing conspiracy in May.

And in New York, a judge tossed 84,000 mail-in votes for the June 23 presidential primary after determining they had been improperly filled out.

That was only after the threat of a lawsuit from the Bernie Sanders campaign forced the state elections board to reinstate the primary, which it had attempted to cancel altogether.

President Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee have waged lawsuits in some instances, such as Nevada, after the state’s left-wing legislature attempted stealthily to overhaul the voting procedures.

Cook County, which surrounds Las Vegas, 223,000 primary ballots were found to have been sent to the wrong address.

NFL May Let Players Add Names Like George Floyd to Helmets

In its latest effort to politicize professional football, the NFL may allow players to show the names of people who have been killed by police officers on their helmets, OutKick reported.

“Per a source with knowledge of the situation, players may display the names of victims of police violence and/or systemic racism on the padding along the bottom of the backs of their helmets,” journalist Mike Florio reported Sunday, without revealing his source.

If the plan progresses, players would be allowed to put the names on the back at the bottom, padded part of their helmets, where the team name is oftentimes displayed.

Players will have to choose from a pre-approved list of names, but the NFL has not said how these names will be selected.

The NFL has not said whether they will allow the names of convicted violent criminals, such as George Floyd, to be displayed as a symbol of racial justice.

Florio speculated that the list would include Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery.

Roger Goodell, who previously resisted the push to turn the NFL into a social justice league, has embraced Black Lives Matter and its demand.

He said he should have “listened earlier” to Colin Kaepernick about the reasons that he was “kneeling.”

Patrick Mahomes, a quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs and a leader in the Black Lives Matter movement, said he has spoken with Goodell, Fox News reported.

“I feel like it’s been positive,” Mahomes said. “I’ve got to talk to Goodell, I’ve talked to other guys around the league and obviously now it’s about action.”

California Grants Mail-In Voting Contract to Partisan ‘Hacks’ Linked to ‘Team Biden’

With echoes of a similar cronyism scandal that recently ensnared the office of Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat firm in California was granted a $35 million contract to promote mail-in voting.

The office of California Secretary of State Alex Padilla in mid-August announced the plan to grant the contract to SKD Knickerbocker after and expedited bidding process.

“This $35 million expedited state contract screams conflict of interest, and the abuse of power calls into question his integrity,” said Jessica Millan Patterson, chair of the California Republican Party.

“Under this Democrat regime, our elections are simply being run by nothing more than a bunch of politics hacks,” she added.

The consulting firm is linked to Josh Isay, a former campaign manager for Sen. Charles Schumer, D-NY. Other staffers have close ties to former President Barack Obama and California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, both Democrats.

The firm also is reported to have financial ties to the campaign of current Democrat presidential contender Joe Biden.

On its website, the firm includes a banner that says “SKDK is proud to be a part of Team Biden,” according to Breitbart.

And the campaign paid the firm more than $800,000 in the first two months of 2020, which marked a massive haul for it at the time.

Nonetheless, Heather Wilson, the managing director and head of the firm’s California office, coyly denied the possibility of any conflicts of interest.

“As a public affairs firm, a great deal of our work (including this Vote Safe campaign) is nonpartisan,” Wilson claimed in an email  to the Sacramento Bee.

California is one of several states that plans to mail ballots to all the voters on its rolls, despite the numerous concerns over how that might undermine election integrity.

Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom greenlighted the plan to issue the ballots to some 21 million voters, even as a watchdog group has challenge in court the effort, citing at least 23,000 dead people on the rolls and countless other voters ineligible due to reasons like change of residents or immigration status.

California has brazenly supported past efforts to undermine voter-integrity, such as its legalization of ballot harvesting, even as it has fought tooth and nail to resist updating its rolls, with the potential to purge millions of inactive voters.

The state—and its questionable election procedures—likely played a significant role in Hillary Clinton’s official count of 2.8 million more voters than Donald Trump in the 2016 election, even though Trump won the Electoral College by a landslide.

Clinton has now called on Biden not to concede the election under any circumstances, maintaining that drawn-out legal challenges will help Democrats prevail even if it means reversing the will of the voters.

Judge Blocks Asylum Screening by Border Protection Agents

(Headline USA) A federal judge on Monday blocked U.S. Customs and Border Protection employees from conducting the initial screening for people seeking asylum, dealing a setback to one of the Trump administration’s efforts to rein in asylum.

The nationwide injunction will likely have little, if any, immediate impact because the government has effectively suspended asylum during the coronavirus pandemic, citing public health concerns.

The Trump administration argued that designated CBP employees are trained comparably to asylum officers at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, another agency within the Homeland Security Department.

U.S. District Judge Richard J. Leon in Washington disagreed.

“Poppycock!” he wrote in a 22-page decision. “The training requirements cited in the government’s declaration do not come close to being ‘comparable’ to the training requirements of full asylum officers.”

Leon, who was appointed by President George W. Bush, said CBP employees get two to five weeks of distance and in-person training, while asylum officers get at least nine weeks of formal training.

Leon, without evidence, also cast doubt on whether CBP, a law enforcement agency that includes the Border Patrol, could do screenings in a non-adversarial manner, as regulations require. Border Patrol, for example, have conducted hundreds of rescue missions of illegal immigrants in distress in the desert or off the Pacific coast.

Representatives of the Homeland Security and Justice Departments did not immediately respond to requests for comment. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services said it does not comment on pending litigation.

Lawyers for mothers and their children from Mexico, Ecuador and Honduras who failed the screening — known as a “credible fear” interview, in which they must persuade officials they have a credible fear of persecution in their home country — argued that CBP employees were not authorized to do the work and lacked training.

“This decision puts an end to the sham process of using adversarial Border Patrol agents to conduct highly sensitive interviews with asylum-seekers,” said Julie Carpenter, an attorney for the Tahirih Justice Center, which sued on behalf of asylum-seekers.

The judge didn’t address other arguments, including that the measure was invalid because CBP Commissioner Mark Morgan is serving in an acting capacity and lacks authority under federal law.

The Government Accountability Office, a congressional watchdog, said earlier this month that the Homeland Security Department’s top two officials, also in acting roles, are ineligible to run the agency because they improperly appointed under federal law.

Homeland Security strongly disagreed. Trump nominated Chad Wolf, the acting secretary, to the permanent job last week.

Biden Emerges from Basement to Nearby Pittsburgh; Says Violence is Trump’s Fault

(Headline USA) Joe Biden condemned recent riots while also blaming — without providing evidence — that President Donald Trump for fomenting the divide that’s sparking it.

He dismissed his presidential opponent as incapable of tackling the violence himself.

“He doesn’t want to shed light, he wants to generate heat, and he’s stoking violence in our cities,” Biden said during remarks in Pittsburgh Monday. “He can’t stop the violence because for years he’s fomented it.”

Biden went on to denounce rioting, looting and arson at recent protests.

“It’s lawlessness, plain and simple. And those who do it should be prosecuted,” he said, despite many of his liberal allies in major cities refusing to do so.

The message was considered an effort to blunt Trump’s “law and order” message, which has Democrats on their heels as public polls are turning against them. The crisis of violence in major cities went unaddressed during the Democratic National Convention two weeks ago.

Trump tweeted on Monday: “The Radical Left Mayors & Governors of Cities where this crazy violence is taking place have lost control of their ‘Movement.’ It wasn’t supposed to be like this, but the Anarchists & Agitators got carried away and don’t listen anymore – even forced Slow Joe out of basement!”

In Pittsburgh, Biden said of Trump, “He may believe mouthing the words law and order makes him strong, but his failure to call on his own supporters to stop acting as an armed militia in this country shows you how weak he is.”

Some citizens have found it necessary to protect their own lives and property, in the absence of law enforcement protection in Democrat-run cities plagued by violence.

In Kenosha, Wisconsin, the National Guard was finally deployed to quell demonstrations in response to the police shooting of Jacob Blake — a black man who resisted arrest and threatened officers with a weapon — that have resulted in looting, vandalism, and the shooting deaths of two rioters in a possible self defense situation.

And this weekend, one of Trump’s supporters was shot at a demonstration in Portland, Oregon, prompting multiple tweets from Trump himself, including one late Sunday accusing Biden of failing to criticize the “agitators” at the protests.

On Sunday, Biden was finally forced to speak, and strongly denounced violent acts on any side.

“I condemn violence of every kind by anyone, whether on the left or the right. And I challenge Donald Trump to do the same,” he said in a statement.

“We are facing multiple crises — crises that, under Donald Trump, keep multiplying. COVID. Economic devastation. Unwarranted police violence. Emboldened white nationalists. A reckoning on race,” Biden said in Pittsburgh. “Declining faith in a bright American future. The common thread? An incumbent president who makes things worse, not better.”

Portland has seen nearly 100 consecutive nights of Black Lives Matter riots, turning the city into a wasteland with citizens and businesses fleeing.

Trump and other speakers at last week’s Republican National Convention frequently highlighted the urban riots, predicting that if Biden is elected in November such incidents will become the norm.

However, Biden accuses Trump of viewing the violence as a “political benefit.”

“He’s rooting for more violence, not less. And it’s clear about that,” Biden said last week.

Appeals Court AGAIN Rules Out House Dems’ Subpoena for McGahn

(Associated Press) A federal appeals court panel on Monday again threw out a lawsuit by House Democrats to compel former White House counsel Don McGahn to appear before a congressional committee.

In a 2-1 ruling, U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit held that the House of Representatives lacks the authority under the Constitution or federal law to ask courts to enforce a subpoena against an executive branch official.

The latest decision comes weeks after the full appeals court rejected the panel’s initial ruling that would have ended the court fight over whether McGahn must testify before the House Judiciary Committee as part of its investigation of potential obstruction of justice by President Donald Trump during special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.

Court cases over the testimony of presidential advisers are rare because the White House and Congress typically reach an agreement.

But Trump directed McGahn not to appear and the Democratic-controlled House filed suit to enforce the subpoena that was first issued in April 2019.

With time running out on the current House session, which ends on Jan. 3, the prospect that McGahn would have to testify already was remote.

House lawmakers had sought McGahn’s testimony because he was a vital witness for Mueller, whose report detailed the president’s outrage over the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and Trump’s efforts to curtail it.

How Will the Election Impact the Bullion Market?

0

(Clint Siegner, Money Metals News Service) Bullion investors took a breather when Donald Trump was elected in 2016.

Demand for coins, rounds, and bars fell significantly on the day after election day and stayed down for the next 3 years.

After 8 years of Barack Obama, ultra-loose fed policy and a historic run-up in the national debt, investors felt things would get better under Trump.

Today, as we near the end of Trump’s first term, demand for physical precious metals has spiked. The COVID scare and the associated monetary and fiscal stimulus coupled with widespread social unrest has gold and silver bugs stocking up once again. Along with them, an entirely new wave of investors and savers has entered the markets.

Politics are a big driver in the bullion markets. What can people expect when the voting is done in November?

Trump’s victory in 2016 caught many by surprise, and there could be another surprise this time around.

But we’ll leave the 2020 election forecasting to others and focus on the potential implications for the bullion markets.

Should Trump win, the question will be whether investors breathe a collective sigh of relief once again and turn their attention away from safety and toward risk assets.

In the short run, investor psychology is more important than the facts. Trump’s first election did little to change the fundamental drivers behind gold and silver prices and demand…

…the Fed still prints too much, Congress still borrows and spends too much, and mining production of gold and silver is flat to declining. The reckoning for all of this is closer today than it was in 2016.

However, it might not matter that Trump has little control over the metastasizing national debt or that he is anything but fiscally conservative.

If Trump wins, gold bugs may simply be relieved that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris aren’t taking the reins of power. Their confidence could be boosted even as the Federal Reserve Note continues down the path to oblivion, just as it has over the past several administrations.

The circumstances around this election are different, however. A Trump victory would not catch nearly as many people by surprise.

Investors will also be able to respond according to Trump’s actual track record rather than to his campaign rhetoric.

Prior to his 2016 election, Trump was critical of the Fed for running such loose monetary policy. Since his election, the president has been lambasting Jerome Powell for not being dovish enough.

Bullion investors gave Trump a pass on fiscal policy during the first 3 years of his term, and the stock market rallied bigly.

But today’s multi-trillion dollar annual deficits may be tougher to ignore. If the current activity in the bullion market is any indication, investors are already very nervous.

Should Joe Biden win, on the other hand, we expect demand for physical bullion to surge. Gold bugs may shift from nervous to terrified.

The trouble with any new drivers for demand is that mints and refiners are already having trouble coping. If buying activity doubles or triples again, dealer inventory – particularly at Money Metals’ weaker competitors – will go from sparse to completely barren and premiums will go completely out of sight.

Anyone who thinks Biden has a good shot at becoming president should definitely stock up now…Original Source...

State Police to Return to Portland Following Deadly Shooting

(Headline USA) Oregon State Police will return to Portland to help local authorities after the fatal shooting of a man following clashes between President Donald Trump supporters and counter-protesters that led to an argument between the president and the city’s mayor over who was to blame for the violence.

Protesters were back on the streets for a demonstration Sunday night outside a public safety building. Police declared an unlawful assembly and detained several people after saying protesters were seen launching projectiles.

Trump called Ted Wheeler, a Democrat, a “fool” because he has allowed mayhem to proliferate in the liberal city. The visibly angry mayor — who also serves as commissioner of police — lashed out at the president during a Sunday news conference, addressing him in the first person through the TV cameras.

“That’s classic Trump. Mr. President, how can you think that a comment like that, if you’re watching this, is in any way helpful? It’s an aggressive stance, it is not collaborative. I certainly reached out, I believe in a collaborative manner, by saying earlier that you need to do your part and I need to do my part and then we both need to be held accountable,” said Wheeler, who in July criticized the presence of federal officers and even blamed them for the violence that has continued since they left.

“Let’s work together…Why don’t we try that for a change?”

The testy news conference followed a chaotic 24 hours in Portland that began when Saturday evening when a caravan of about 600 vehicles packed with Trump supporters drove through the liberal city and was met with counterprotesters.

Skirmishes broke out between the groups and, about 15 minutes after the caravan left the city, a supporter of the mostly peaceful conservative group Patriot Prayer was fatally shot.

Patriot Prayer founder Joey Gibson identified the victim as Aaron “Jay” Danielson. He called the victim a “good friend,” but provided no further details. Danielson apparently also went by the name Jay Bishop, according to Patriot Prayer’s Facebook page.

“We love Jay and he had such a huge heart. God bless him and the life he lived,” Gibson said in a Facebook post.

Trump retweeted the victim’s name and wrote, “Rest in peace Jay!”

Late Sunday Oregon Gov. Kate Brown, another Democrat liberal who has rejected federal help, released details of a plan to address the violence in Portland while protecting free speech. She said the district attorney’s office in Multnomah County, which includes Portland, will prosecute serious criminal offenses and the sheriff’s office will work with other agencies to hold people arrested for violent behavior and ensure there is adequate jail space.

To this point rioters who have been arrested have been re-released to destroy and attack law enforcement more.

Also, Brown said Oregon State Police will return to Portland to help local police, and nearby law enforcement agencies will also be asked to assist.

“We all must come together—elected officials, community leaders, all of us—to stop the cycle of violence,” she said in a statement.

Police have released little information about the fatal shooting and Chief Chuck Lovell said Sunday that investigators are still gathering evidence, including surveillance video from area businesses. Earlier, the agency released a plea for any information related to the killing, including videos, photos or eyewitness accounts.

Patriot Prayer is based in Washington state and was founded in 2016. Since early 2017, its supporters have periodically come to Portland to hold rallies for Trump.

Portland has seen nearly 100 consecutive nights of Marxist Black Lives Matter protests — none of which have had anything to do with Patriot Prayer — and many have ended with vandalism to federal and city property, including police precincts, a county jail, the federal courthouse and City Hall.

On Sunday, Portland authorities urged people to stay away from the downtown as they try to de-escalate tensions.

After the shooting, the president shared a video of his supporters driving into Portland and called those in Saturday’s caravan “GREAT PATRIOTS!”

Wheeler begged those who wanted to come to Portland to “seek retribution” to stay away.

“If you’re from out of town and you’re reading something on social media — if you’re reading any facts on social media — they’re probably wrong because we don’t have all the facts yet,” Wheeler said. “This is not the time to get hotheaded because you read something on Twitter that some guy made up in his mother’s basement.”

Wisc. Gov. Tells Trump to Keep Out as He Plans to Visit Kenosha

0

(Headline USA) Scores of police supporters gathered Sunday in downtown Kenosha where protesters have demonstrated against alleged police brutality since the shooting of Jacob Blake last weekend.

Some attending the rally in the Wisconsin city wore “back the blue” shirts. Others carried American flags. They applauded when law enforcement vehicles rolled by.

“With the things that they face on a daily basis, they need that little extra push of love and to show that they are needed,” said Jennifer Peyton, 44, who attended the rally. “I mean, if you went in to work every day, and you were told that you were bad or had things thrown at you, I think it would weigh on your psyche a little bit, too.”

A Kenosha police officer shot Blake after he resisted arrest and reached for a knife in his vehicle on Aug. 23, leaving the 29-year-old black man paralyzed.

Protesters have marched in Kenosha every night since Blake’s shooting, with some turning into riots that damaged buildings and vehicles. Authorities say a teenager from northern Illinois shot and killed two protesters in Kenosha on Tuesday night — possibly in self defense.

A 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. state of emergency curfew that was set to expire Sunday has been extended through 7 a.m. Wednesday, the Kenosha County sheriff’s office said.

Blake’s shooting sparked renewed protests against alleged racial injustice several months after George Floyd’s May 25 death, after he resisted arrest in a confrontation with police.

Some people at Sunday’s pro-police rally signed petitions urging the recall of Gov. Tony Evers and Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, both Democrats, and added messages of support on handwritten posters thanking police as heroes.

About 1,000 people attended a rally to protest police violence Saturday.

The city’s mayor, John Antaramian, said Sunday that he will ask the state for $30 million to rebuild parts of Kenosha destroyed or damaged by the violence, according to the Kenosha News.

President Donald Trump has spoken out against the summer-long protests. He is expected to visit Kenosha on Tuesday to meet with law enforcement and survey damage from the demonstrations.

Evers wrote to Trump on Sunday, urging the president to reconsider his plans to visit Kenosha.

“I, along with other community leaders who have reached out, are concerned about what your presence will mean for Kenosha and our state. I am concerned your presence will only hinder our healing. I am concerned your presence will only delay our work to overcome division and move forward together,” Evers wrote.

Barnes indicated that Trump may not be welcome.

“I don’t know how, given any of the previous statements that the president made, that he intends to come here to be helpful and we absolutely don’t need that right now,” Barnes told CNN on Sunday.

Crump said the Blake family “has not been contacted at this time” by Trump.
