Investigating electoral fraud in Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan and Georgia
Hiding behind legal proceedings and remaining silent is not the answer at this critical time in America's history
The following public officials and public Boards named as defendants in four cases begun by lawyer Sidney Powell in
Arizona,
Wisconsin,
Michigan and
Georgia—have now become key to investigating the detailed claims of electoral fraud made in each of those cases – following the rejection of two of those four cases in Michigan and Georgia by Courts at first instance:
ARIZONA:
DOUG DUCEY, in his official capacity as Governor of the State of Arizona, and KATIE HOBBS, in her official capacity as the Arizona Secretary of State
WISCONSIN:
WISCONSIN ELECTIONS COMMISSION, and its members ANN S. JACOBS, MARK L. THOMSEN, MARGE BOSTELMAN, JULIE M. GLANCEY, DEAN KNUDSON, ROBERT F. SPINDELL, JR., in their official capacities, GOVERNOR TONY EVERS, in his official capacity,
MICHIGAN:
GRETCHEN WHITMER, in her official capacity as Governor of the State of Michigan, JOCELYN BENSON, in her official capacity as Michigan Secretary of State and the Michigan BOARD OF STATE CANVASSERS.
GEORGIA:
BRIAN KEMP, in his official capacity as Governor of Georgia, BRAD RAFFENSPERGER, in his official capacity as Secretary of State and Chair of the Georgia State Election Board, DAVID J. WORLEY, in his official capacity as a member of the Georgia State Election Board, REBECCA N. SULLIVAN, in her official capacity as a member of the Georgia State Elections Board, MATTHEW MASHBURN, in his official capacity as a member of the Georgia State Election Board, and ANH LE, in her official capacity as a member of the Georgia State Election Board.
These decisions could be only the first round in a protracted legal battle involving appeals until the legal process is exhausted.
In the Michigan case, federal Judge Linda Parker
rejected Powell's request for an injunction against the vote tally showing a Biden victory in that state,
saying that the lawyer's allegations of fraud were based on:
"nothing but speculation and conjecture."
Judge Parker's decision was surprising since Powell's case was backed by:
- 22 Affidavits attesting the affiants' ability to view the handling, processing, and counting of ballots was physically and intentionally blocked by election officials
- 3 Affidavits attesting the affiants were physically pushed away from counting tables by election officials to a distance that was too far to observe the counting.
- 38 Affidavits attesting affiants were intimidated, threatened, and harassed by election officials during the ballot processing and counting process
- 19 Affidavits attesting poll workers ignored or refused to record republican challenges.
- 11 Affidavits attesting ballot duplication was performed only by Democratic election workers, not bipartisan teams as was required.
- 8 Affidavits attesting ineligible ballots were counted – some multiple times.
- 16 Affidavits attesting ballots were counted with ballot numbers not matching ballot envelope.
- 5 Affidavits attesting election officials counted ineligible ballots with no signatures or with no postmark on Ballot Envelope.
- Expert witness testimony supporting widespread voting fraud and manipulation.
The decision in Powell's Georgia case by Judge Timothy Batten Sr. came less than 90 minutes into a hearing in the Atlanta federal court.
Judge Batten did not rule on the merits of Powell's claim—instead granting motions to dismiss the lawsuit on the grounds that it did not belong in the federal court.
Batten
repeatedly suggested that Powell could have filed her lawsuit in state court—citing a federal appeals court ruling that:
"federal courts don't entertain post-election conduct, excuse me, contests about vote-counting misconduct."
The defendants in these four cases now need to indicate what action they are prepared to recommend to either confirm or reject Powell's detailed allegations of vote-counting misconduct.
Hiding behind legal proceedings and remaining silent is not the answer at this critical time in America's history.
