WASHINGTON , D.C. , November 7 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — Current polling data shows that 74,446,452 Americans voted for Democrats Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and their anti-human , anti-life platform , revealing disturbing truths about a huge segment of the U.S. population .
Over 74 million Americans just voted to : • Support abortion and infanticide under any circumstance ; • Prosecute the Little Sisters of the Poor , and any other Christian organization @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their consciences ; • Make “ transgender rights ” the number one civil rights issue of our time ; • Mandate face masks across the nation interminably , keeping government ’ s boot on the neck of the economy ; • Allow minors as young as eight years old to choose dangerous hormone treatments to treat childhood and adolescent gender dysphoria without parental approval and despite parental objections : A temporary measure leading to a lifetime of pain and regret ; • Deny counseling for anyone with unwanted same-sex attraction and gender dysphoria @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , tossing up to ten million people out of work , and ending affordable transportation and energy for all but elites ; Whether or not the number is off by even a few million , around 70 million Americans still pulled the lever for Biden-Harris .
Perhaps worst of all : • Because Joe Biden claims to be a Catholic , if he is elected president , the United States will offer a horribly distorted portrait of Catholicism and what it means to be a Catholic man to the entire world .
If @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the White House , brace yourself for a horrifying fundamental transformation of America , with Christian faith and morals in the crosshairs .

The American elections of 2020 has been thrown into chaos by 'statistically improbable' mail-in ballot dumps, and accompanying allegations of voter fraud in a few key battleground states.
With investigations and recounts now looming, what we now need is a lot of prayer!
Please JOIN our urgent PLEDGE to PRAY for justice to prevail in these elections and for the truth to come out, one way or the other.
Everyone should desire and accept reasonable explanations for the apparent discrepancies in the way ballots have been handled and counted in some states.
To guarantee the validity of these elections, there should be no hint of impropriety.
SIGN this pledge to pray for justice to prevail in the electoral process.
You may, of course, use any prayer you find suitable for this intention.
Thank you!


lifesitenews--2020-11-07--Abortion in Poland ‘is used by the extreme Left for cultural revolution’

November 7 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — If the world were not transfixed by the unfolding electoral disaster in the United States , all eyes would be fixed on Poland .
On October 22 , the nation ’ s top court ruled that eugenic abortions — those performed on pre-born children with fatal fetal abnormalities — were unconstitutional .
There are only around 1,000 abortions each year in Poland , which already has very restrictive abortion laws , and nearly all of them are procured for this reason .
To the shock of Law and Justice ( PiS ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ country promptly exploded .
There have been days of protests , with over 100,000 marching in Warsaw last Friday .
Aerial photos show an ocean of people converging in the streets , with COVID-19 restrictions still ostensibly limiting groups to only five .
By Tuesday , over half a million people had joined the protests , the largest street rallies since the Solidarity protests that toppled Communism .
Armies of police officers were deployed to protect the homes of politicians , including deputy prime minister Jarosław Kaczyński ’ s residence , as well @ @ @ @ @ @ @ flashpoints for angry crowds .
Protestors stormed services , calling for congregants to “ pray for abortion for all.
” In response , Polish president Andrzej Duda filed amendments to the abortion law to soften the court ruling , but protestors are demanding a complete repeal of the judgement .
One European media outlet referred to the protests as “ the abortion revolution , ” and it is not clear they will end anytime soon .
Jakub Baltroszewicz is the president of the Polish Federation of Pro-Life and Pro-Family Movements , which was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and largest pro-life umbrella organization in the country , with thirty members .
He told me that while abortion was legal for a short time in 1996-97 for “ social circumstances , ” that law was ruled to be unconstitutional , but from the early 2000s there was a steady uptick in eugenic abortions , which now account for the majority of terminations ( 1074 of 1116 in 2019 . )
To respond to this , several citizens ’ initiatives were introduced by the pro-life movement to ban or further limit abortion , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” petition garnering 800,000 signatures in a country of 38 million .
A parliamentary commission was supposed to examine the issue , but when they failed to do so , 119 pro-life parliamentarians submitted a request to the Constitutional Tribunal in December of 2019 , asking them to examine whether eugenic abortion was constitutional .
After ten months , the Tribunal ruled that it was not — and the protests began in earnest .
Almost immediately , Baltroszewicz told me , progressive political parties seized on the protests as an opportunity to confront @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from demanding that the Tribunal ’ s decision be repealed to demanding abortion “ up until birth ” as well as the resignation of the government .
“ Some conservative organizations started to protect churches in a military-like manner by creating cordons , ” Baltroszewicz told me .

At this point , rational dialogue was not possible .
It was not about abortion anymore , not about compromise , not about freedom .
We also see that the protest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , who are tired of COVID restrictions and feel that they are part of a fight for freedom and don ’ t want to stay behind and look old-fashioned .
Lots of these people do not have strong pro-life or pro-choice convictions but have been manipulated into thinking that they are part of a historical revolution .

Unfortunately , the proposal was badly written under tremendous pressure from the crowd .
What is even worse is that the ruling of the Constitutional Tribunal was not yet published , although the deadline was November 2 .
It is clearly an egregious violation of Polish law and I am shocked the Government decided on such a move .
Can you imagine a situation where any Government disagrees with the ruling of the Supreme Court of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and decides not to publish it so it can not become law as if the ruling never happened ?
We are clearly in a deep political crisis and our conservative government is in full panic mode.

Abortion , however , “ is used by the extreme Left for cultural revolution and has become @ @ @ @ @ @ @ social structure and mentality .
Poland is one of the few countries in Europe that still has strong Christian and conservative values , and some people simply can not stand that as they hate everything that represents these values .

‘I think when it comes to the involvement of young people on the Left side of the political spectrum, we see more engagement on LGBTQ issues, and then the pro-choice movement,’ said Polish pro-life leader Jakub Baltroszewicz.
November 7, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — If the world were not transfixed by the unfolding electoral disaster in the United States, all eyes would be fixed on Poland. On October 22, the nation’s top court ruled that eugenic abortions — those performed on pre-born children with fatal fetal abnormalities — were unconstitutional.
There are only around 1,000 abortions each year in Poland, which already has very restrictive abortion laws, and nearly all of them are procured for this reason. To the shock of Law and Justice (PiS), the conservative ruling party, the country promptly exploded.

One European media outlet referred to the protests as “the abortion revolution,” and it is not clear they will end anytime soon.
Jakub Baltroszewicz is the president of the Polish Federation of Pro-Life and Pro-Family Movements, which was founded in 1993 and is the oldest and largest pro-life umbrella organization in the country, with thirty members. He told me that while abortion was legal for a short time in 1996-97 for “social circumstances,” that law was ruled to be unconstitutional, but from the early 2000s there was a steady uptick in eugenic abortions, which now account for the majority of terminations (1074 of 1116 in 2019.)
To respond to this, several citizens’ initiatives were introduced by the pro-life movement to ban or further limit abortion, with the most recent “Stop Abortion” petition garnering 800,000 signatures in a country of 38 million. A parliamentary commission was supposed to examine the issue, but when they failed to do so, 119 pro-life parliamentarians submitted a request to the Constitutional Tribunal in December of 2019, asking them to examine whether eugenic abortion was constitutional.
After ten months, the Tribunal ruled that it was not — and the protests began in earnest. Almost immediately, Baltroszewicz told me, progressive political parties seized on the protests as an opportunity to confront the ruling Law and Justice and shifted from demanding that the Tribunal’s decision be repealed to demanding abortion “up until birth” as well as the resignation of the government.
“Some conservative organizations started to protect churches in a military-like manner by creating cordons,” Baltroszewicz told me. “Left-wing media tried to heat up the atmosphere in any way possible. At this point, rational dialogue was not possible. It was not about abortion anymore, not about compromise, not about freedom. We also see that the protest is ‘fashionable’ among young people, who are tired of COVID restrictions and feel that they are part of a fight for freedom and don’t want to stay behind and look old-fashioned. Lots of these people do not have strong pro-life or pro-choice convictions but have been manipulated into thinking that they are part of a historical revolution.

“The intention,” Baltroszewicz explained, “was to allow abortion only for lethal cases when we are sure that the child will not survive more than hours or days after birth but ban, for example, abortions on children with Down syndrome. Unfortunately, the proposal was badly written under tremendous pressure from the crowd. What is even worse is that the ruling of the Constitutional Tribunal was not yet published, although the deadline was November 2. It is clearly an egregious violation of Polish law and I am shocked the Government decided on such a move.

Sign this Petition Young Poles defending their church against pro-abortion aggression stemming from the decision of the country's Constitutional Court to protect the lives of sick unborn babies. Photo Credit: Polonia Christiana Since the Constitutional Court of Poland's decision on October 22nd to protect and vindicate the right to life of sick preborn children, leftist pro-abort feminists have been attacking churches, government officials and pro-lifers across Poland in a foul display of bloody-minded vulgarity. But, we STAND with Poland. And, we PRAY for Poland. Please WATCH this video which congratulates faithful Catholics in Poland for their pro-life example and for standing up to rioters trying to vandalize statues, churches. We now call on all pro-lifers, faithful Christians (especially in the Polish diaspora) and pro-life organizations to SIGN this petition to encourage pro-lifers in Poland, the Polish Constitutional Court, and especially the Polish Government to remain steadfastly pro-life right now. And we call on all faithful Polish Catholics to defend their churches and patriotic monuments! This is the time to keep faith with generations of Polish heroes and "Be not afraid!" This is not the time for the Government to give-in to demands from the opposition. Stand up against the people who are attacking your churches while baying for the blood of innocent preborn children! And, explain to your people how the Court was RIGHT to have challenged the abortion law allowing the barbaric practice of eugenic abortion. Poland is a republican democracy, and in such a democracy, the Constitutional Court has the last say on matters of national importance. The Polish Court has spoken, and its ruling should be respected and implemented. And, under no circumstances should the Polish Government promise to reverse this decision in law or by granting a referendum on the same. Poland, be courageous and stand fast for Life. Don't give in to the Culture of Death! Thank you for your example, Poland. Now, remain strong! And, thank you for SIGNING and SHARING this petition of support and solidarity with the Constitutional Court of Poland's decision to disallow eugenic abortion. Thank you also for standing with and praying for Polish pro-lifers and government officials to remain steadfastly pro-life during time of leftist, pro-abortion aggression.

BELLAIRE, Michigan, November 7, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — Roughly 6,000 incorrectly tallied votes in northern Michigan, allegedly caused by a “software issue,” have now been corrected, leading to President Donald Trump winning Antrim County. The same software is used in numerous other counties across the nation, with additional reports of glitches out of Georgia.
Laura Cox, chairwoman of the Republican Party in Michigan, summarized during a press conference yesterday, “In Antrim County, ballots were counted for Democrats that were meant for Republicans, causing a 6,000-vote swing against our candidates. The county clerk came forward and said, ‘Tabulating software glitched and caused a miscalculation of the votes.’”
“We have now discovered that 47 counties used this same software in the same capacity,” she added, asking all counties “to closely examine their result for similar discrepancies.”
According to results released by Antrim County itself last night, Trump received 9,748 votes, and Biden only 5,960.
“Antrim County Clerk Sheryl Guy, a Republican, said the results were skewed after the cards were moved from precincts to county offices and uploaded to a computer,” reported the Washington Examiner. “Dominion Voting Systems manufactures the software.”
According to Politico, “A technology glitch that halted voting in two Georgia counties on Tuesday morning was caused by a vendor uploading an update to their election machines the night before, a county election supervisor said.” As in Antrim County, the Georgia counties used “voting machines made by Dominion Voting Systems.”
Meanwhile, Michigan has been in the headlines not only for a “software issue” in one county. In Detroit, election officials were covering windows into the absentee ballot counting center and cheering the removal of Republican observers.”

Patrick Colbeck, a former Michigan state senator, told LifeSiteNews in an exclusive interview that anybody who claims “an election victory on the basis of what happened, particularly in the state of Michigan and in the Detroit Absent Voter [AV] counting board, should not be claiming any sort of victory at all.”
“Because I’m telling you, the fraud that we witnessed, the interference … are going to knock the socks off of people that may think that this is just a matter of the vote that’s been cast, move on, there’s nothing to see here,” he added.
Colbeck also noted, “The poll workers themselves are fairly cooperative; they just want to do the right thing. But some of the chief election officials seemed to be intent on interfering with actual oversight activities of our officials, which is blatantly against the law. And that interference did not start on election day, November 3 — it started well before that.”
The Trump campaign announced a lawsuit in Michigan already on the day after election day.
“As votes in Michigan continue to be counted, the presidential race in the state remains extremely tight as we always knew it would be,” wrote campaign manager Bill Stepien. “President Trump’s campaign has not been provided with meaningful access to numerous counting locations to observe the opening of ballots and the counting process, as guaranteed by Michigan law.”
“We have filed suit today in the Michigan Court of Claims to halt counting until meaningful access has been granted,” he added. “We also demand to review those ballots which were opened and counted while we did not have meaningful access. President Trump is committed to ensuring that all legal votes are counted in Michigan and everywhere else.”
After Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden was called the winner of the presidency by virtually all media outlets earlier today, Trump doubled down on his intention to bring on legal challenges.
“Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states, let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts, or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor,” the president announced. “Beginning Monday, our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated.”
“I will not rest until the American People have the honest vote count they deserve and that Democracy demands,” he emphasized.
The race in Michigan, with 99% reporting, has Biden winning by a margin of roughly 145,000 votes, with more than 5.5 million votes cast.

November 7 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – In the midst of a hotly contested election plagued by the complication of mail-in ballots , a United States postal worker has been charged with the crime of delaying or destroying mail after being found to be in possession of 800 pieces of undelivered mail , including three absentee ballots .
Buffalo News reports that the postal worker , Brandon Wilson , was stopped by border agents at the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ night after he took a wrong turn and ended up at the U.S.-Canada border by accident .
Allegedly he told the agents that the mail belonged to him and his mother , but in a subsequent interview with Postal Service Office representatives he admitted that he had placed mail from his routes in the trunk of his car .
Special agent Brendan M. Boone wrote in the complaint that “ Wilson estimated he placed mail from his delivery routes into the trunk of his vehicle on more than four but less than 10 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from his assigned route , ” since September of this year .
Boone ’ s written complaint makes it appear that the postal worker was trying to cover up the fact that he had failed to deliver the amount of mail assigned to him and intended to make up for it over the next few days .
“ Wilson intended to whittle down the amount of mail in the trunk of his vehicle by placing a small amount of the mail into USPS mis-sort containers in the morning before his shift began .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ stream in this fashion approximately three weeks prior [ to ] the date of the interview , ” Boone wrote .
Wilson denied knowing that the absentee ballots were there , and also denied having stolen any mail .
Nevertheless , he faces the possibility of five years in jail and a $ 250,000 fine if convicted .
In the Department of Justice ’ s press release announcing Wilson ’ s arrest and charge , U. S. Attorney James P. Kennedy Jr. underscored the seriousness of tampering with mail , especially during an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not only to ensuring the integrity of the mails but also of individuals ’ rights to vote in a free and fair election .
The criminal conduct with which this defendant is alleged to have engaged , undermined both of those interests , ” he wrote .
There have been a variety of reports about irregularities with mail-in ballots , including suspicious activity of USPS workers identified by Project Veritas .
In one case , it appears that USPS workers were told to backdate late ballots .
Another showed a USPS worker offering @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
While this case does not appear to indicate nefarious intent on the part of the worker , it at least indicates the problems inherent in relying too heavily on the postal service for such a large and important undertaking .

November 7, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – In the midst of a hotly contested election plagued by the complication of mail-in ballots, a United States postal worker has been charged with the crime of delaying or destroying mail after being found to be in possession of 800 pieces of undelivered mail, including three absentee ballots.
Buffalo News reports that the postal worker, Brandon Wilson, was stopped by border agents at the Peace Bridge Port of Entry on election night after he took a wrong turn and ended up at the U.S.-Canada border by accident. Allegedly he told the agents that the mail belonged to him and his mother, but in a subsequent interview with Postal Service Office representatives he admitted that he had placed mail from his routes in the trunk of his car.
Special agent Brendan M. Boone wrote in the complaint that “Wilson estimated he placed mail from his delivery routes into the trunk of his vehicle on more than four but less than 10 instances after returning to the post office from his assigned route,” since September of this year. Boone’s written complaint makes it appear that the postal worker was trying to cover up the fact that he had failed to deliver the amount of mail assigned to him and intended to make up for it over the next few days.
“Wilson intended to whittle down the amount of mail in the trunk of his vehicle by placing a small amount of the mail into USPS mis-sort containers in the morning before his shift began. Wilson last reintroduced mailings into the mail stream in this fashion approximately three weeks prior [to] the date of the interview,” Boone wrote.
Wilson denied knowing that the absentee ballots were there, and also denied having stolen any mail. Nevertheless, he faces the possibility of five years in jail and a $250,000 fine if convicted.
In the Department of Justice’s press release announcing Wilson’s arrest and charge, U. S. Attorney James P. Kennedy Jr. underscored the seriousness of tampering with mail, especially during an election. “This Office is committed not only to ensuring the integrity of the mails but also of individuals’ rights to vote in a free and fair election. The criminal conduct with which this defendant is alleged to have engaged, undermined both of those interests,” he wrote.
There have been a variety of reports about irregularities with mail-in ballots, including suspicious activity of USPS workers identified by Project Veritas. In one case, it appears that USPS workers were told to backdate late ballots. Another showed a USPS worker offering a journalist a number of unmarked ballots. While this case does not appear to indicate nefarious intent on the part of the worker, it at least indicates the problems inherent in relying too heavily on the postal service for such a large and important undertaking.

November 7 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — Media outlets from the Associated Press to The New York Times and Fox News have called the presidential race for Democrat Joe Biden .
President Donald Trump , meanwhile , has not conceded , saying he “ will not rest until the American People have the honest vote count they deserve and that Democracy demands.
” Minutes ago , the Associated Press ( AP ) tweeted it “ declares @ @ @ @ @ @ @ campaign for the American presidency .
He will lead a polarized nation through a historic collision of health , economic and social crises.
” The AP ’ s judgment was based on calling Pennsylvania with its 20 electoral college votes for Biden .
At about the same time , other news media called the race for Biden , as well .
Fox News , which had been criticized by the Trump campaign for calling Arizona for the Democratic candidate on election night , not only called Pennsylvania for Biden , but also Nevada @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pennsylvania is less than 35,000 votes .
In Nevada , he leads by less than 25,000 votes .
Previously , Wisconsin was called for Biden , with a margin of just over 20,000 votes , and Michigan , with just over 145,000 votes .
These states are likely headed for a recount , as well as legal challenges from the Trump campaign .
President Trump issued a statement only moments after media called the race for Biden .
“ We all know why Joe Biden is rushing to falsely pose as the winner @ @ @ @ @ @ @ trying so hard to help him : they don ’ t want the truth to be exposed , ” Trump wrote .
“ The simple fact is this election is far from over .
Joe Biden has not been certified as the winner of any states , let alone any of the highly contested states headed for mandatory recounts , or states where our campaign has valid and legitimate legal challenges that could determine the ultimate victor.
” The president mentioned Pennsylvania , where “ our legal observers were not permitted meaningful access @ @ @ @ @ @ @ votes decide who is president , not the news media.
” “ Beginning Monday , our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated , ” he continued .
“ The American People are entitled to an honest election : that means counting all legal ballots , and not counting any illegal ballots .
This is the only way to ensure the public has full confidence in our election.
” “ It remains shocking that the Biden campaign refuses to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ballots counted even if they are fraudulent , manufactured , or cast by ineligible or deceased voters .
Only a party engaged in wrongdoing would unlawfully keep observers out of the count room — and then fight in court to block their access.
” “ I will not rest until the American People have the honest vote count they deserve and that Democracy demands , ” Trump vowed .
Joe Biden , meanwhile , tweeted , “ America , I ’ m honored that you have chosen me to lead our great country @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be hard , but I promise you this : I will be a President for all Americans — whether you voted for me or not .
I will keep the faith that you have placed in me.
” Help stop voter fraud : The Trump Campaign has created “ Defend Your Ballot ” to report election issues .

PETITION UPDATE (1/15/2021) -
The events of the past month, and especially the past 10 days, have shaken the faith Americans have in their elected and appoint officials.
We continue to call for investigations to be made into allegations of election fraud. Texas is in the process of prosecuting one political operative for illegal ballot harvesting, and multiple state legislatures have called for investigations, too.
However, the judiciary has severely let down the American electorate.
As we have said all along, the integrity of the election is much bigger than President Trump. Election integrity is at the heart of republican democracy, and if we don't have it, we no longer have a functioning republic.
Therefore, we continue to seek the truth for the election outcome. Perhaps that will only be known in the future when state or federal commissions are established to investigate the instances of election fraud which were witnessed and sworn to, by thousands of Americans of all political persuasions.
In the meantime, you may still sign this petition. Thank you!
___________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (12/10/20) -
On Wednesday, President Trump tweeted: "We will be INTERVENING in the Texas (plus many other states) case. This is the big one. Our Country needs a victory!"
He is referring to the lawsuit which the state of Texas has filed against Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Georgia in the Supreme Court over changes those states made to their election rules, claiming they violated the U.S. Constitution in the process.
Here is the central part of the argument: if Texas were to allow possible voter fraud to go unchecked in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Georgia, it would be akin to committing fraud upon the people of Texas, who cast their ballots within the framework of the law.
Indeed, this would apply equally to all citizens who voted within the framework of the law across the United States!
President Trump also tweeted that this case is, "very strong...ALL CRITERIA MET."
Please continue to SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition, now.
____________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (12/7/20) - Since this petition was launched, President Trump's legal team, as well as other concerned citizens, have discovered what appears to be irrefutable evidence of voter fraud in several of the key battleground states, and have initiated legal challenges in six states.
While the situation continues to evolve, this remains a hugely important petition which we encourage you to SIGN and SHARE.
Below, please WATCH and READ about the mounting evidence of voter fraud and how the mainstream media seem determined to ignore even the most egregious instances of vote tampering. Then, please SIGN and SHARE this petition.
'Trump: ‘Our election system is now under assault and siege’ and as president I must defend it'
'Tens of thousands 2020 election votes illegally scanned in Detroit, says Dominion IT contractor'
'Trump campaign files lawsuit demanding ‘a new statewide election for president’ in Georgia'
'Experts flag over 500k ballots in PA with new evidence of major 2020 election voter fraud'
''Smoking gun'? Pennsylvania vote fraud hearing gets gasps from audience'
'FBI and Justice Department have dragged their feet investigating 2020 vote fraud'
''CNN top brass in leaked tape: We won't give Trump 'too much of a platform on his not conceding'
'Twitter censored Trump 63 times over Thanksgiving holiday, Biden untouched'
LifeSite supports President Trump with this petition because we believe he is trying to defend the Constitution, ensuring that electoral fraud does not taint the result of the 2020 general election.
But, since starting this petition, we have launched a separate petition related to the disputed election outcome, calling on the Department of Justice to 'do their job' and engage in meaningful investigations of the mounting evidence of voter fraud.
We believe that conducting forensic audits of ballots and voting machines, as well as issuing subpoenas to collect more evidence, would be a good start.
Thankfully, some of the state started to demand investigations independent of federal agencies. But we still believe that the DoJ needs to use its enormous fact-finding resources to help resolve allegations of election fraud.
Thank you for continuing to SIGN and SHARE all our election-related petitions.
_____________________________________________________________________
Please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition which calls on all Americans to Stand With President Trump as he uses every legitimate means to find out if voter fraud played any role in the election outcome.
Amid allegations of voter fraud, and at a time when the situation with COVID has been used by many of the states to facilitate the use of mail-in ballots on a massive scale, we need to be very careful in dismissing the possibility of voter fraud.
The fact is, the possibility of wide-spread fraud with mail-in ballots is significant.
But, this is not about Donald Trump or Joe Biden! This about whether or not the sanctity of the ballot box has been tampered with!
Please Stand With President Trump as he attempts to defend the integrity of this election, as well as well as the right to vote itself!
Indeed, this is so important, not so much because one election hangs in the balance, but because our democracy, itself, hangs in the balance.
Americans not only have a right to know, but should demand that every legitimate means be used to discover the truth about these elections!
Please SIGN this petition and Stand With President Trump to ensure that these elections were conducted freely and fairly!
While most all Americans believe in playing by the rules, we also know that some very devious, politically-motivated operatives have been trying to harm the Trump administration from before he even took the oath of office.
This fact should lead us to question how some allegations of voter fraud can be so easily dismissed by state election authorities.
We demand to know the truth, and, for the sake of our democracy, we demand that President Trump keep fighting to learn the truth.
Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING this petition today!

November 7 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – In an exclusive bombshell interview with LifeSiteNews , former Michigan state senator and aerospace engineer Patrick Colbeck brought to light a long list of scandalous violations of voting procedure in Detroit , including brazen lies , cheating , and violations of Michigan law .
“ Anybody who ’ s claiming an election victory on the basis of what happened , particularly in the state of Michigan and in the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ board , should not be claiming any sort of victory at all , ” Colbeck told LifeSite ’ s Lisa Stover .
“ Because I ’ m telling you , the fraud that we witnessed , the interference… are going to knock the socks off of people that may think that this is just a matter of the vote that ’ s been cast , move on , there ’ s nothing to see here.
” Colbeck explained that as poll challenger – a role distinct from that of poll watcher – he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the voting process at each of his local precincts , if anything illegal was performed .
He likened himself to a kind of “ floor general ” of poll challengers , responsible for highlighting issues that other poll challengers brought to his attention .
“ If you don ’ t like what you ’ re seeing or if they say , ‘ talk to the hand , ’ and ignore you , then you can file a formal complaint , a poll challenge that ’ s supposed to be entered into the poll @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a journal of the proceedings of the day as to who voted , who didn ’ t vote , and what issues came up during the day .
If you get into lawsuit territory or recounts , that ’ s part of the public record that will be discussed in the course of that lawsuit , ” said Colbeck .
Colbeck noted , “ The poll workers themselves are fairly cooperative ; they just want to do the right thing .
But some of the chief election officials seemed to be intent on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ officials , which is blatantly against the law .
And that interference did not start on election day , November 3 – it started well before that.
” “ The stuff that was really egregious , and frankly a threat to election integrity , wasn ’ t that exciting .
In addition to being a former Michigan state senator I was also an aerospace engineer .
I worked doing cabling design for the space station , and I also am a certified Microsoft Small Business Specialist , ” said Colbeck .
“ So @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when I got into the AV counting board was the network topology for the computerized tabulators , the electronic poll books , adjudicators , and the election official computers.
” Colbeck told Stover he found it very concerning that “ every single one of these computers [ used for the voting process ] , except for the electronic poll books , connected to the internet.
” “ That ’ s kind of interesting , because that opens up the door to a lot of people tapping into this network , ” he explained @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if it ’ s secure , if the communications are encrypted , if they got a VPN network , it doesn ’ t matter .
There are people a lot smarter than I am that know how to break this in a matter of minutes.
” “ When I walked in , one of the first things that I did was I walked around to all the computers .
With the exception of the electronic poll books , and they all had that icon saying they ’ re connected to the internet.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ election bureau – his name was Daniel Baxter – I go , are any of these computers connected to the internet ?
And he told me , ‘ No they ’ re not.
’ ” “ I walked through again , and I heard about what happened earlier in the day , I think it was 10 am , a message had popped up on a computer screen that startled one of the poll workers , that said , ‘ Your computer is being hacked.
’ ” “ So there ’ s another @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by the name of David Nathan , and I said , ‘ David , are these computers connected to the internet ?
’ ” explained Colbeck .
“ And he says , ‘ No they are not.
’ And I go , ‘ Well can you verify that for me ?
” “ And all he had to do was move that little mouse cursor over the land connectivity icon in the bottom right hand corner , and it ’ ll pop up and say you ’ re connected to the internet or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he said , ‘ No , you ’ re just gon na have to trust me.
” “ And I said , ‘ Dave , I ’ m sorry , but maybe somebody lied to you.
’ I ’ m giving him the benefit of the doubt .
And I ’ m saying , ‘ I ’ d like to have verification that the computer isn ’ t connected to the internet.
” “ And he said , ‘ You ’ re just gon na have to trust me .
And that ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on whether there are laws in place prohibiting use of the internet during vote counts , Colbeck said , “ There [ are ] laws against manipulating election results .
I don ’ t care if you do it by throwing in a whole bunch of extra ballots or whether or not you decide to be savvy with SQL databases .
Either way it ’ s the same effect and you ’ re manipulating election results.
” Colbeck then described a conversation he had with another senior election official , Chris Thomas , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how Detroit was going to communicate its election results .
“ I said , ‘ Help me out here , I want to understand , it wasn ’ t shared with anyone beforehand , how are you going to communicate your tabulated results to the county and other third parties ?
’ ” “ In other words , with all the viewers at home , when CNN and Fox News are going off and [ people are ] watching updates as to what the status of the votes is in Michigan , how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Because normally the way it ’ s supposed to happen is that you close out a precinct , they have balanced all their books , they have a little printout of the vote tally for that particular precinct and then they will share that vote tally with the public , with the clerk ’ s office , with the county , and they ’ ve got like 5 different copies of it that they send across the board .
And that is the official vote.
” “ But in Detroit , they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ They never had a tally.
” Colbeck noted that vote tallies were supposed to be posted on red boards on the wall next to green boards containing initial zero tallies for each machine .
The observers told him it never happened .
“ All the red boards that were supposed to be printing out that stuff here were blank .
And yet they kept reporting results .
So I was very curious , I was like , how the heck are they doing this ?
” “ So I went back to Mr. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kid in the backseat on the way to Disneyworld , who says , ‘ Are we there yet ?
Are we there yet ?
’ And for the first couple times he said , ‘ No I don ’ t know yet.
’ And finally he said , ‘ You know what , I ’ m not gon na tell you until after things are done tomorrow.
’ And mind you , this is my primary duty : to monitor the execution of these processes.
” Colbeck reminded viewers , “ There ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Stalin : ‘ It ’ s not he who votes that counts , it ’ s he who counts the votes that counts.
’ ” He went on to count the ways that the election process in Detroit abused four different key areas of vulnerability for vote tampering .
“ I was vice chair of the Michigan Senate elections and government reform committee .
And while there I diagrammed out the election processes so I could identify potential failure points , what are the areas we really need to safeguard , ” said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ those control points , I ’ ve got a whole list of issues that were cited throughout the process that should raise concern about the fairness of this election.
” Colbeck explained that official records show dead people having voted in this election .
“ What we indeed found in this election is that there ’ s a lot of people that have lived a very healthy life here in Michigan , ” he quipped .
“ So one of our pure Michigan slogans should be that we ’ ve got one of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ years old in the whole country .
Suffice it to say , the secretary of state is culpable in the manipulation of data.
” “ To make matters worse , the Secretary of State Benson actually developed a partnership with [ left-wing Rock the Vote ] to perform data entry of new voters into the qualified voter file .
So now a third party , with dubious oversight is actually entering data into our first control point of the election , the qualified voter file.
” Colbeck went on to describe the second @ @ @ @ @ @ @ book – which is used to verify the identity of anyone who casts a vote in an election .
He explained that separate poll books were generated for Michigan voters which allowed them to vote with both an absentee ballot , and in person at the polls .
“ That ’ s exactly what we saw happen in various areas around the state of Michigan .
Some people are more important than others apparently because they get two votes , the rest of us only get one.
” “ The third control mechanism @ @ @ @ @ @ @ You ’ ve got ta make sure you ’ re controlling the origins of these ballots , there ’ s a lot of issues around ballot harvesting .
We ’ ve got these things called dropboxes where they ’ re not monitored 24/7 or if they are , nobody ’ s actually looking at it , ” said Colbeck .
“ And that opened the door to a lot of people putting prefabricated ballots into the dropbox that are unmonitored and pushed through the system .
They ’ re supposed to be reconciled @ @ @ @ @ @ @ validate the identity of the voter is you take information on the absentee ballot such as the ballot number and signature and you verify that against the pollbook.
” Colbeck said that a lot of ballot envelopes that came through even without a signature or a correct ballot number – which means they could have been swapped out for another ballot in the course of processing it – were still processed by the Detroit elections bureau .
“ The fourth key control point is the tabulation of the vote itself .
Frankly , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” Colbeck alluded to the Stalin quote that “ it ’ s he who counts the votes that counts , ” and to his concern about Detroit ’ s lack of tabulated results .
Colbeck said coronavirus rules were ‘ central ’ to obstruction of the voting process .
When asked by LifeSiteNews about stories of people filling out extra ballots , Colback affirmed that “ it definitely happened.
” Colbeck also pointed out , “ You are by law required to have [ a ] Republican poll worker and a Democrat poll @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because they ’ re going to be transferring the vote from the military ballot to a new duplicate ballot that ’ s compatible with the scanner format.
” “ We have many people that were Republicans that submitted their name to be a poll worker in the city of Detroit .
They were never contacted or they were rejected from being able to serve .
We only identified three actual Republican poll workers out of at least 136 that should have been serving in that capacity .
There were at least 136 slots @ @ @ @ @ @ @ night were three.
” Colbeck said coronavirus rules were “ central ” to obstruction of the voting process .
As a matter of fact , prior to the election I had written an editorial in the Detroit News highlighting how COVID was being used as an excuse to subvert election integrity .
So we knew this was coming beforehand .
Part of it is that absentee ballot application scheme that was launched by the Secretary of State .
But it went deeper than that .
It got into the 6-foot rule ... By @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the polls I made sure we printed out the actual court ruling that actually put an injunction on that rule .
So they were not even supposed to be able to quote it .
But apparently the memo didn ’ t get out to most of the poll workers .
And some of them were quite combative about maintaining that 6 ft rule .
And we do have a right to go off and inspect anything .
But as poll challengers we could n't touch anything ...
So what they were doing was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ were processing a ballot or ballot envelope or signature , rather than giving us an opportunity to verify the data on that , because they were 6 feet back , they would immediately flip it over on the side so that you couldn ’ t read what you needed in order to verify the integrity of the process .
There were all kinds of games like that being played by some of the poll workers that were enabled , frankly , by the fact that they pushed us back at 6 feet .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ballots as one of the “ more egregious examples ” of how coronavirus policy affected the transparency of the vote counting process .
“ I got a phone call saying , ‘ They ’ re starting to count the military ballots.
’ Keep in mind , the military ballots have been kept up on this stage all night long and there were times when the poll workers were completely idle , but they chose not to count the military ballots during that time frame.
” Colbeck pointed out that it is especially important @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of counting military ballots , because there is a different procedure involved , where duplication of ballots is required .
“ You need a witness because they ’ re going off and copying from one ballot to another ballot , and if you ’ ve got a bunch of military people who say they like Trump , and then you got somebody in here that can ’ t stand Donald Trump filling in the circles , they ’ re going to be tempted to go off and fill in wrong circles .
And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in their ‘ justification ’ to keep us out of there.
” “ As soon as I heard that they were putting the military ballots in , I tried to get down , and I was blocked .
That was kind of the crystallizing moment for me .
This is the type of stuff that happens in a banana republic , not a constitutional republic , ” said Colbeck .
“ We have it on good authority that when Democrat poll challengers came in they were specifically instructed to interfere with poll challengers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ organization , the Election Integrity Fund , which is an organization I help fund to protect us from just such a case of craziness that we ’ re experiencing right now.
” Referring to the incident with military ballots , Colbeck noted , “ That was a deliberate infraction against an Michigan Compiled Laws [ MCL ] statute to actually interfere with the poll challengers ’ duties , and there are actual criminal fines for such action.
” Colbeck shared that he witnessed one Detroit Elections Bureau van “ opened up with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unloaded and put into the staging area.
” Colbeck described an incident that raised yet more major questions about pre-election voting procedures in Detroit .
“ We ’ ve got people [ who ] have been monitoring the Detroit Elections Bureau before Nov. 3 , seeing people dropping off boxes of what appeared to be ballots at a side door of the Detroit Elections Bureau.
” Colbeck noted that when they were confronted by someone with a recording device , “ all of a sudden they found a very speedy retreat where they @ @ @ @ @ @ @ car and sped off before anyone could ask any more questions about the origins of those boxes and their intent.
” Colbeck said , “ I think it ’ s a pattern not just of election fraud that happened here in the wake of covid , I think it ’ s indicative of sedition .
I take that word very seriously .
I believe that people that have been deliberately messing with the integrity of this election should be tried on sedition charges , not simply election fraud charges.
” Colbeck pointed out @ @ @ @ @ @ @ precinct level “ everywhere except Wayne County and Detroit , it seems.

Colbeck explained that as poll challenger – a role distinct from that of poll watcher – he could “challenge the execution” of the voting process at each of his local precincts, if anything illegal was performed. He likened himself to a kind of “floor general” of poll challengers, responsible for highlighting issues that other poll challengers brought to his attention.
“If you don’t like what you’re seeing or if they say, ‘talk to the hand,’ and ignore you, then you can file a formal complaint, a poll challenge that’s supposed to be entered into the poll book, which is kind of like a journal of the proceedings of the day as to who voted, who didn’t vote, and what issues came up during the day. If you get into lawsuit territory or recounts, that’s part of the public record that will be discussed in the course of that lawsuit,” said Colbeck.
Colbeck noted, “The poll workers themselves are fairly cooperative; they just want to do the right thing. But some of the chief election officials seemed to be intent on interfering with actual oversight activities of our officials, which is blatantly against the law. And that interference did not start on election day, November 3 – it started well before that.”
“The stuff that was really egregious, and frankly a threat to election integrity, wasn’t that exciting. In addition to being a former Michigan state senator I was also an aerospace engineer. I worked doing cabling design for the space station, and I also am a certified Microsoft Small Business Specialist,” said Colbeck.
“So the first thing that I checked out when I got into the AV counting board was the network topology for the computerized tabulators, the electronic poll books, adjudicators, and the election official computers.”
‘Blatant lying’ about internet connection
Colbeck told Stover he found it very concerning that “every single one of these computers [used for the voting process], except for the electronic poll books, connected to the internet.”
“That’s kind of interesting, because that opens up the door to a lot of people tapping into this network,” he explained. “I don’t care if it’s secure, if the communications are encrypted, if they got a VPN network, it doesn’t matter. There are people a lot smarter than I am that know how to break this in a matter of minutes.”
“When I walked in, one of the first things that I did was I walked around to all the computers. With the exception of the electronic poll books, and they all had that icon saying they’re connected to the internet.”
“I asked the head of the election bureau – his name was Daniel Baxter – I go, are any of these computers connected to the internet? And he told me, ‘No they’re not.’”
“I walked through again, and I heard about what happened earlier in the day, I think it was 10 am, a message had popped up on a computer screen that startled one of the poll workers, that said, ‘Your computer is being hacked.’”
“So there’s another election official, the former state representative by the name of David Nathan, and I said, ‘David, are these computers connected to the internet?’” explained Colbeck.
“And he says, ‘No they are not.’ And I go, ‘Well can you verify that for me?”
“And all he had to do was move that little mouse cursor over the land connectivity icon in the bottom right hand corner, and it’ll pop up and say you’re connected to the internet or you’re not.”
“And he said, ‘No, you’re just gonna have to trust me.”
“And I said, ‘Dave, I’m sorry, but maybe somebody lied to you.’ I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt. And I’m saying, ‘I’d like to have verification that the computer isn’t connected to the internet.”
“And he said, ‘You’re just gonna have to trust me. And that’s where it was left.”
Commenting on whether there are laws in place prohibiting use of the internet during vote counts, Colbeck said, “There [are] laws against manipulating election results. I don’t care if you do it by throwing in a whole bunch of extra ballots or whether or not you decide to be savvy with SQL databases. Either way it’s the same effect and you’re manipulating election results.”
Blank tally boards
Colbeck then described a conversation he had with another senior election official, Chris Thomas, in which he tried to figure out how Detroit was going to communicate its election results.
“I said, ‘Help me out here, I want to understand, it wasn’t shared with anyone beforehand, how are you going to communicate your tabulated results to the county and other third parties?’”
“In other words, with all the viewers at home, when CNN and Fox News are going off and [people are] watching updates as to what the status of the votes is in Michigan, how’s that being communicated?”
“Because normally the way it’s supposed to happen is that you close out a precinct, they have balanced all their books, they have a little printout of the vote tally for that particular precinct and then they will share that vote tally with the public, with the clerk’s office, with the county, and they’ve got like 5 different copies of it that they send across the board. And that is the official vote.”
“But in Detroit, they never had one of those printouts. They never had a tally.” Colbeck noted that vote tallies were supposed to be posted on red boards on the wall next to green boards containing initial zero tallies for each machine. The observers told him it never happened.
“All the red boards that were supposed to be printing out that stuff here were blank. And yet they kept reporting results. So I was very curious, I was like, how the heck are they doing this?”
“So I went back to Mr. Thomas repeatedly, kind of like the kid in the backseat on the way to Disneyworld, who says, ‘Are we there yet? Are we there yet?’ And for the first couple times he said, ‘No I don’t know yet.’ And finally he said, ‘You know what, I’m not gonna tell you until after things are done tomorrow.’ And mind you, this is my primary duty: to monitor the execution of these processes.”
Colbeck reminded viewers, “There’s an old adage attributed to Josef Stalin: ‘It’s not he who votes that counts, it’s he who counts the votes that counts.’”
He went on to count the ways that the election process in Detroit abused four different key areas of vulnerability for vote tampering.
“I was vice chair of the Michigan Senate elections and government reform committee. And while there I diagrammed out the election processes so I could identify potential failure points, what are the areas we really need to safeguard,” said Colbeck.
“For each one of those control points, I’ve got a whole list of issues that were cited throughout the process that should raise concern about the fairness of this election.”
Dead ‘voters’
Colbeck explained that official records show dead people having voted in this election.
“What we indeed found in this election is that there’s a lot of people that have lived a very healthy life here in Michigan,” he quipped. “So one of our pure Michigan slogans should be that we’ve got one of the largest populations of people over 120 years old in the whole country. Suffice it to say, the secretary of state is culpable in the manipulation of data.”
“To make matters worse, the Secretary of State Benson actually developed a partnership with [left-wing Rock the Vote] to perform data entry of new voters into the qualified voter file. So now a third party, with dubious oversight is actually entering data into our first control point of the election, the qualified voter file.”
Two-for-one cheating
Colbeck went on to describe the second important point to safeguard – the poll book – which is used to verify the identity of anyone who casts a vote in an election. He explained that separate poll books were generated for Michigan voters which allowed them to vote with both an absentee ballot, and in person at the polls.
“That’s exactly what we saw happen in various areas around the state of Michigan. Some people are more important than others apparently because they get two votes, the rest of us only get one.”
Ballot issues
“The third control mechanism is that of the actual ballot. You’ve gotta make sure you’re controlling the origins of these ballots, there’s a lot of issues around ballot harvesting. We’ve got these things called dropboxes where they’re not monitored 24/7 or if they are, nobody’s actually looking at it,” said Colbeck.
“And that opened the door to a lot of people putting prefabricated ballots into the dropbox that are unmonitored and pushed through the system. They’re supposed to be reconciled against the pollbook. The way you validate the identity of the voter is you take information on the absentee ballot such as the ballot number and signature and you verify that against the pollbook.”
Colbeck said that a lot of ballot envelopes that came through even without a signature or a correct ballot number – which means they could have been swapped out for another ballot in the course of processing it – were still processed by the Detroit elections bureau.
“The fourth key control point is the tabulation of the vote itself. Frankly, that’s the most important one.” Colbeck alluded to the Stalin quote that “it’s he who counts the votes that counts,” and to his concern about Detroit’s lack of tabulated results.
Colbeck said coronavirus rules were ‘central’ to obstruction of the voting process.
When asked by LifeSiteNews about stories of people filling out extra ballots, Colback affirmed that “it definitely happened.”
Colbeck also pointed out, “You are by law required to have [a] Republican poll worker and a Democrat poll worker to examine [military] ballots because they’re going to be transferring the vote from the military ballot to a new duplicate ballot that’s compatible with the scanner format.”
“We have many people that were Republicans that submitted their name to be a poll worker in the city of Detroit. They were never contacted or they were rejected from being able to serve. We only identified three actual Republican poll workers out of at least 136 that should have been serving in that capacity. There were at least 136 slots and all we could identify throughout the night were three.”
How coronavirus rules allowed obstruction of voting process
Colbeck said coronavirus rules were “central” to obstruction of the voting process.
As a matter of fact, prior to the election I had written an editorial in the Detroit News highlighting how COVID was being used as an excuse to subvert election integrity. So we knew this was coming beforehand. Part of it is that absentee ballot application scheme that was launched by the Secretary of State. But it went deeper than that. It got into the 6-foot rule… By the way, when I came into the polls I made sure we printed out the actual court ruling that actually put an injunction on that rule. So they were not even supposed to be able to quote it. But apparently the memo didn’t get out to most of the poll workers. And some of them were quite combative about maintaining that 6 ft rule. And we do have a right to go off and inspect anything. But as poll challengers we couldn't touch anything… So what they were doing was, in many cases, whenever they were processing a ballot or ballot envelope or signature, rather than giving us an opportunity to verify the data on that, because they were 6 feet back, they would immediately flip it over on the side so that you couldn’t read what you needed in order to verify the integrity of the process. There were all kinds of games like that being played by some of the poll workers that were enabled, frankly, by the fact that they pushed us back at 6 feet.
Colbeck described the counting of the military ballots as one of the “more egregious examples” of how coronavirus policy affected the transparency of the vote counting process.
“I got a phone call saying, ‘They’re starting to count the military ballots.’ Keep in mind, the military ballots have been kept up on this stage all night long and there were times when the poll workers were completely idle, but they chose not to count the military ballots during that time frame.”
When they did choose to count the military ballots, it coincided with when the election officials decided they were going to katy bar the door and keep any poll challengers who were outside from coming back in to witness the [counting of] the military ballots. And the rationale that they used was that we were over our limit due to covid. And I can tell you, we’re not over any limit inside there at all. It was used as an excuse to keep poll challengers from witnessing that activity… As a matter of fact, they even went to the extreme of putting up cardboard over the windows so nobody could look in to see what was going on.
Colbeck pointed out that it is especially important to have a witness in the case of counting military ballots, because there is a different procedure involved, where duplication of ballots is required. “You need a witness because they’re going off and copying from one ballot to another ballot, and if you’ve got a bunch of military people who say they like Trump, and then you got somebody in here that can’t stand Donald Trump filling in the circles, they’re going to be tempted to go off and fill in wrong circles. And COVID[-19] played a role in their ‘justification’ to keep us out of there.”
“As soon as I heard that they were putting the military ballots in, I tried to get down, and I was blocked. That was kind of the crystallizing moment for me. This is the type of stuff that happens in a banana republic, not a constitutional republic,” said Colbeck.
“We have it on good authority that when Democrat poll challengers came in they were specifically instructed to interfere with poll challengers from the Republican party and also my organization, the Election Integrity Fund, which is an organization I help fund to protect us from just such a case of craziness that we’re experiencing right now.”
Referring to the incident with military ballots, Colbeck noted, “That was a deliberate infraction against an Michigan Compiled Laws [MCL] statute to actually interfere with the poll challengers’ duties, and there are actual criminal fines for such action.”
Suspicious incidents
Colbeck shared that he witnessed one Detroit Elections Bureau van “opened up with the ballots,” which were “being unloaded and put into the staging area.”
From a timing perspective it looked very suspicious, for somebody who’s analyzed different ways for people to mess with and steal the election. There was a quiet period of almost four hours prior to the arrival of that truck. There was pretty much no activity, no counting going on on the floor, which also begs the question of where was this 100,000, or 200,000 vote switch between midnight and 5 a.m.? What counts were being relayed? There’s a key principle in election security that’s called chain of custody. You always want to make sure that you can trace that breadcrumb through. Just like with UPS, where you can track your shipment from point of drop-off to point of delivery. We don’t have a lot of fidelity on that, particularly in the city of Detroit, as to what’s happening.
Colbeck described an incident that raised yet more major questions about pre-election voting procedures in Detroit.
“We’ve got people [who] have been monitoring the Detroit Elections Bureau before Nov. 3, seeing people dropping off boxes of what appeared to be ballots at a side door of the Detroit Elections Bureau.”
Colbeck noted that when they were confronted by someone with a recording device, “all of a sudden they found a very speedy retreat where they pushed the boxes back into their Mercedes car and sped off before anyone could ask any more questions about the origins of those boxes and their intent.”
Colbeck said, “I think it’s a pattern not just of election fraud that happened here in the wake of covid, I think it’s indicative of sedition. I take that word very seriously. I believe that people that have been deliberately messing with the integrity of this election should be tried on sedition charges, not simply election fraud charges.”
Colbeck pointed out that balancing vote tallies happens at the precinct level “everywhere except Wayne County and Detroit, it seems.”
What they’re doing in Detroit is they send out a transport, all those ballots, from point A to point B, who knows what happens in the middle of the transport. Once it gets to the Detroit Elections Bureau for these canvassing operations, that’s when they go off and sort and make sure there’s a number of ballots cast according to the poll book, equal to the number of ballots we have in our container. And when they don’t, even if it’s off only by one, that precinct is not subject to a recount. And if it’s not subject to a recount, if they were executing voter fraud they just got away with it.

WILMINGTON , Delaware , November 7 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — Three years after President Donald Trump announced that the United States would leave the so-called Paris Agreement on climate change , the U.S. officially left Wednesday .
Joe Biden promptly tweeted that he would reverse that decision : “ Today , the Trump Administration officially left the Paris Climate Agreement , ” Biden tweeted on November 4 .
“ And in exactly 77 days , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The Agreement was signed by nearly 200 countries and “ aims to prevent the earth ’ s temperatures from rising 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial revolution temperatures , the value that scientists have determined will have disastrous consequences if exceeded , ” according to ABC News .
Supporters of the agreement have speculated that without immediate action on lowering carbon emissions , more violent weather conditions would occur , sea levels would rise , and there would be an increase in droughts and wildfires .
Such extreme conditions “ could lead to mass @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump took a different view of the agreement that was originally negotiated by President Barack Obama .
He said U.S. businesses would be at a “ permanent disadvantage ” compared to those in other countries , and that the U.S. would be punished with “ onerous energy restrictions ” and “ an unfair financial burden.
” The U.S. , Trump said , “ has already reduced its carbon-dioxide emissions by 12 percent since 2006 and is already a Clean Energy leader.
” For pro-life and pro-family groups , the key reason to support @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Paris Agreement on climate change was language “ designed to promote abortion and contraception , ” as Voice of the Family put it .
The agreement states , “ Parties should , when taking action to address climate change , respect , promote and consider their respective obligations on human rights , the right to health , the rights of indigenous peoples , local communities , migrants , children , persons with disabilities and people in vulnerable situations and the right to development , as well as gender equality , empowerment of women @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Family pointed out , terms like “ gender equality ” and “ empowerment of women ” may initially seem innocuous to many readers but experience has shown that these terms are often used to advance a dangerous ideology , ” like abortion and contraception .
The Vatican , in spite of the pro-abortion and pro-contraception language in the agreement , was also critical of Trump ’ s decision .
Pope Francis himself said in September , “ We need to do everything in our capacity to limit global average temperature rise under @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Paris Climate Agreement , for going beyond that will prove catastrophic , especially for poor communities around the world.
” Bishop Marcelo Sanchez Sorondo , Chancellor of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences , said that Trump ’ s decision was “ a huge slap in the face for us ” and “ a disaster for everyone.
” Michael Hichborn , president of the Lepanto Institute , commented , “ Not only is so-called man-made global climate change not settled science , but let ’ s not forget that it was Bishop Sorondo who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ movement by hosting a cadre of population-control enthusiasts in a Vatican-sponsored meeting.
” “ It was Bishop Sorondo who invited pro-abortion socialist Bernie Sanders to attend a Vatican meeting during the U. S. presidential campaign , ” he added .
