Prominent Math Prof Declares In Sworn Statement That Up To 100K Ballots In Pennsylvania May Not Be Legit

Are those media calls for ‘ more evidence ’ honest ?
Or are they trying to deflect from public questions about the very voter integrity they spent 4 years feigning so much concern about ?
Evidence comes in a lot of different flavors , doesn ’ t it ?
Sometimes , you will have something as direct as a signed confession by the people who did it , or whistleblowers step up to testify , or video evidence of a crime in progress turns up .
( Interestingly , there are examples of affidavits or hidden-camera footage of each of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Trump team . )
Other times , you will find indirect evidence , say , a gun owner being unable to account for the whereabouts of his firearm , or the combination of ‘ means , motive , and opportunity ’ .
Sometimes it ’ s a simple numbers game — credit card purchases , for example , lining up with known incidents in the timeline .
( Or , in the case of Jussie Smollet , an embarrassingly damning receipt . )
What might such a red flag look like in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a statistics expert predicting almost 100,000 ballots received from people who claim not to have sent one in .
Because that ’ s what a trained specialist claims he found when reviewing the numbers in Pennsylvania .
Strictly speaking , the man is an ‘ expert witness ’ by definition .
If this math expert ’ s assertions are correct , this isn ’ t merely voter suppression… this is disenfranchisement by the actual theft of a staggering number of lawful votes .
Williams College Professor Steven Miller , a Yale and Princeton @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pennsylvania ballot data collected by former Trump campaign data chief Matt Braynard as well as 2,684 voter interviews conducted by a phone bank and found two concerning patterns .
One involved possible votes that were not counted , the other ballots that appeared to be requested by someone other than a registered voter .
“ I estimate that the number of ballots that were either requested by someone other than the registered Republican or requested and returned but not counted range from 89,397 to 98,801 , ” Miller said in the sworn statement @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to Pennsylvania state data for early and absentee ballot requests , there are roughly 165,000 ballots requested in the names of registered GOP voters that had not been counted as of Nov. 16 .
–JustTheNews If anyone is wondering why ClashDaily isn ’ t getting too excited about the lawsuit either way , it ’ s because the real test will be if/when this winds its way to be heard by SCOTUS .
Any decision at a lower court will be hotly contested by the other side , regardless of the ruling .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ as is the failure of Pennsylvania to obey explicit instructions from Justice Alito , the application of ‘ rules ’ that were not authorized by the State Legislature who has SOLE authority to set such rules , and now , we have evidence of people casting ballots unlawfully on the behalf of another citizen .

Leaving aside all the drama playing out by talking heads on both sides, it’s the court’s response to straightforward questions like those above that will eventually make all the difference in whether moving trucks show up to the White House in January or not.

clashdaily--2020-11-24--We Gave Up Our Freedom For Politicians With The Flu

The seasonal flu kills between 12 thousand to 61 thousand people in the US each year .
This year we added the unwelcome contribution from the Chinese Communist Party , the Wuhan flu , a.k.a .
Covid-19 .
It has killed between ten thousand to a quarter million of us so far .
Unfortunately , our politicians and our media made their cure worse than the disease .
Unlike the flu , we can ’ t easily recover from the harm our elites have done .
About ten thousand of us died from Covid in the US .
Up to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ health problems while we had Covid .
The numbers are confusing since those tables show more of us dying from contributing diseases than there were actual deaths with Covid .
The numbers only make sense once we realize that the vast majority of people who die from Covid had not one , but several preexisting illnesses .
Respiratory disease , high blood , and heart disease were the top contributing factors .
Those were also the contributing factors for the almost three million of us who will die this year .
The seasonal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ flu is the final illness that overtakes those in fragile health .
Many states in the US forced their schools to close due to Covid .
Politicians got that response wildly wrong .
Unlike the regular flu , Covid-19 hardly bothers children at all .
In contrast with the seasonal flu , the fatality numbers from Covid don ’ t climb until we look at those over the age of 64 .
In short , Covid is dangerous to those who are already in poor health .
New epidemiological models of Covid showed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cost lives rather than saved them .
Yes , countries around the world and some states here in the US that allowed children to stay in school actually saved lives .
The underlying method is easy to understand .
Those children went to school , got the flu , and then were no longer available as a vector to spread the disease .
The way to stop Covid-19 was to let the segment of the population that was not at risk from the disease to get sick .
The kids had the sniffles @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In contrast , keeping kids out of school meant that young people continued to spread the disease to vulnerable adults for a much longer period of time .
More of the elderly eventually caught Covid and died .
Let me emphasize that point .
Different groups respond differently to the disease .
Letting people who are not vulnerable get the disease protected the vulnerable segment of our population .
That distinction is too subtle for our politicians to grasp .
That public policy is too nuanced for our journalists to explain in 20 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the extra minute to explain it to us .
The Politicians who claimed they wanted to help actually cost us tens-of-thousands of lives , particularly among the elderly .
In addition , those children who were forced out of school can ’ t get their year back .
Nor can the parents who stayed home to take care of their younger children .
That cost all of us .
Politicians closed our businesses .
Tens of millions of employees lost their source of income .
Millions of business owners lost their income and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ poorer since millions of us lost our homes and many of those businesses can ’ t come back .
For many of us , politicians promised protection and delivered a lifetime of poverty .
That is important .
Poverty has a huge impact on our lives and our children ’ s lives .
We saw increased rates of alcoholism and addiction .
We saw , and will see , increased rates of divorce .
Politicians made us poorer , not just today , but for generations .
Other effects are immediate .
Politicians @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to their health to attend sobriety meetings .
Deaths from overdose and suicide soared during the Covid lockdown .
Those deaths should not come as a surprise .
Almost twice as many of us die from suicide than from the flu .
Any public policy that makes us more vulnerable to suicide while saving us from the flu is a prescription for disaster .
Unfortunately , the media let politicians hide behind their good intentions .
Addicts have something to teach us ; stay away from politician who are drunk on power .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ and spiritually .
That is when politicians closed our churches.. unless a politician wanted an audience for a campaign speech .
The news media seldom objected .
The media never dug behind the politicians simplistic answers .
We told sick people to stay away from the hospital unless they had Covid-19 .
Their heart conditions , their diabetes , and their cancers went undiagnosed and untreated so we could make room for a wave of Covid patients that in most location never came .
The bureaucrat ’ s solution was simplistic and made @ @ @ @ @ @ @ told those who were physically sick to stay away from doctors and those who were sick at heart to stay away from our churches .
That proves one thing very clearly , and doctors learned it long ago .
First , do no harm .
The human body is complex .
It is easy to treat one condition and kill the patient as you try to cure the disease .
Similarly , our society works as a marvelously interrelated engine of prosperity .
It is far easier for a government edict to cause @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In this case , the politian ’ s cure was worse than the government-created disease .
I have a newfound respect for the politicians who withstood media pressure .
They said that we the people were wiser than they were .
They said it was up to us to protect the vulnerable elderly , and to protect ourselves as we saw fit .
Those politicians were brave and insightful .
The other politicians saw a crisis they could exploit .
In too many cases , we let them get away with it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is the safest choice we have .
This time , we gave up our freedom over the flu.. and people died .

It has killed between ten thousand to a quarter million of us so far. Unfortunately, our politicians and our media made their cure worse than the disease. Unlike the flu, we can’t easily recover from the harm our elites have done.
About ten thousand of us died from Covid in the US. Up to a quarter-million of us died from pre-existing health problems while we had Covid. The numbers are confusing since those tables show more of us dying from contributing diseases than there were actual deaths with Covid.

Respiratory disease, high blood, and heart disease were the top contributing factors. Those were also the contributing factors for the almost three million of us who will die this year.
The seasonal flu behaves like Covid in that the flu is the final illness that overtakes those in fragile health.
Many states in the US forced their schools to close due to Covid. Politicians got that response wildly wrong. Unlike the regular flu, Covid-19 hardly bothers children at all. In contrast with the seasonal flu, the fatality numbers from Covid don’t climb until we look at those over the age of 64. In short, Covid is dangerous to those who are already in poor health.

Those children went to school, got the flu, and then were no longer available as a vector to spread the disease. The way to stop Covid-19 was to let the segment of the population that was not at risk from the disease to get sick. The kids had the sniffles for a day and became immune. In contrast, keeping kids out of school meant that young people continued to spread the disease to vulnerable adults for a much longer period of time. More of the elderly eventually caught Covid and died.
Let me emphasize that point. Different groups respond differently to the disease. Letting people who are not vulnerable get the disease protected the vulnerable segment of our population.

Politicians closed our businesses. Tens of millions of employees lost their source of income. Millions of business owners lost their income and their investment. Politicians made us permanently poorer since millions of us lost our homes and many of those businesses can’t come back. For many of us, politicians promised protection and delivered a lifetime of poverty.
That is important. Poverty has a huge impact on our lives and our children’s lives. We saw increased rates of alcoholism and addiction. We saw, and will see, increased rates of divorce. Politicians made us poorer, not just today, but for generations. Other effects are immediate.
Politicians told addicts that it was too dangerous to their health to attend sobriety meetings. Deaths from overdose and suicide soared during the Covid lockdown.
Those deaths should not come as a surprise. Almost twice as many of us die from suicide than from the flu. Any public policy that makes us more vulnerable to suicide while saving us from the flu is a prescription for disaster. Unfortunately, the media let politicians hide behind their good intentions.
Addicts have something to teach us;
stay away from politician who are drunk on power.
Our communities were hurting, both financially and spiritually. That is when politicians closed our churches.. unless a politician wanted an audience for a campaign speech. The news media seldom objected.
The media never dug behind the politicians simplistic answers. We told sick people to stay away from the hospital unless they had Covid-19. Their heart conditions, their diabetes, and their cancers went undiagnosed and untreated so we could make room for a wave of Covid patients that in most location never came.
The bureaucrat’s solution was simplistic
and made things worse.
In hindsight, we told those who were physically sick to stay away from doctors and those who were sick at heart to stay away from our churches. That proves one thing very clearly, and doctors learned it long ago.
First, do no harm.
The human body is complex. It is easy to treat one condition and kill the patient as you try to cure the disease. Similarly, our society works as a marvelously interrelated engine of prosperity. It is far easier for a government edict to cause problems than to improve our overall condition. In this case, the politian’s cure was worse than the government-created disease.
I have a newfound respect for the politicians who withstood media pressure. They said that we the people were wiser than they were. They said it was up to us to protect the vulnerable elderly, and to protect ourselves as we saw fit. Those politicians were brave and insightful.
The other politicians saw a crisis they could exploit. In too many cases, we let them get away with it.
Liberty is dangerous, but it is the safest choice we have.
This time, we gave up our freedom over the flu.. and people died.

clashdaily--2020-11-25--WATCH: Ph.D. Constitutionalist Raises Alarms, Cites Specific Election Tampering

Patrick ’ s opening pitch is pretty straightforward — you can believe an entrepreneur who built a $ 2 billion e-commerce company and holds a Ph.D. from Stanford — or an army of media types and low-level bureaucrat yes-men who do not want to see their DC gravy train dry up .
It only gets better from there .
Patrick Byrne says he can prove the election was rigged against Trump , and in this 15-minute video , he makes his case .
Oh , before anyone accuses him of partisan loyalties , you should know , as a Libertarian @ @ @ @ @ @ @ either of the major parties in his life .
Since stepping away from Overstock dot com ( which he founded ) he has been like a dog on a scent about government corruption .
Is his argument here convincing ?
That , Clash reader , will be up to you to decide .
Unlike social media or the Presstitutes who have been openly cheering for the Democrats and sweeping any story critical of Old Joe under the rug , we will let the argument stand or fall on its own merit .
What @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be wondering ?
Since it ’ s relevant to this story , we ’ ll put it upfront : his Ph.D. is in the Intellectual History of the Constitution .
He figures he has their strategy pegged too .
It wasn ’ t just a handful of 130-year-olds voting from beyond the grave like the media scoffers would have you believe .
But he is saying it wasn ’ t exactly the shotgun approach to widespread corruption that some on the right would claim either .
( In that sense , the critics @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was something new entirely .
It was pinpoint-targeted on a handful of key counties that could swing key battleground states away from Trump and into Joe ’ s Column .
Two Republicans , he says , were even in on this plan .
And for when the YouTube version goes dark , as it almost certainly will , here ’ s a backup video from Rumble .

clashdaily--2020-11-25--Rush Limbaugh Calls On Trump To Bring Out The Big Guns — Is He Right?

The Presidential result isn ’ t the only question up in the air right now .
With Democrats , the Partisan Press , and Big Tech throwing everything they ’ ve got at Georgia , the Senate race needs all the help it can get .
Is it time for Trump to bring out the big guns ?
Something the Democrats have no answer for ?
Something that will unify the base around a rallying cry ?
Rush thinks it is .
And with Stacey Abrams claiming to have sent out 750,000 ballots already , it ’ s not something @ @ @ @ @ @ @ since they have already signaled they would end the filibuster , and make all kinds of changes to permanently tilt the political battlefield to their own advantage .
Here ’ s what he said : RUSH : I don ’ t know about you , but I ’ d kind of like to see President Trump in Georgia .
I ’ d like to see some rallies .
I ’ m not alone in this .
We got two Senate seats that are very crucial , the runoffs , Perdue and Loeffler .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Otherwise , the left is gon na be able to — well , they ’ re not gon na be stoppable .
It ’ s just gon na be dependent on what they want to do as to how far they go .
So , those two Senate races , Perdue , Loeffler , they ’ re really crucial , and I think Trump is still the Republican Party .
He ’ s still MAGA .
He could still go down there and do some rallies and secure those two Senate seats @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or today .
But the runoffs , the elections are on June the 5th .
So , time is of the essence …RUSH : Also , in Georgia… You know , I mentioned mere moments that it would be great if there were some MAGA rallies in Georgia for the two Republican Senate candidates .
Here ’ s another one .
The Never Trumpers… ( laughs ) Are you ready ?
The Never Trumpers are saying Mitch McConnell will let the country burn if it means electing these two people .
If it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ McConnell will let this country burn .
“ Cocaine Mitch , ” they call him at this place .
( laughing ) But it would be nice , wouldn ’ t it ?
I mean , to have some kind of a showing of MAGA in Georgia for these seats .

The Presidential result isn’t the only question up in the air right now. With Democrats, the Partisan Press, and Big Tech throwing everything they’ve got at Georgia, the Senate race needs all the help it can get.
Is it time for Trump to bring out the big guns? Something the Democrats have no answer for?
Something that will unify the base around a rallying cry?
Rush thinks it is. And with Stacey Abrams claiming to have sent out 750,000 ballots already, it’s not something we should leave to chance. Especially since they have already signaled they would end the filibuster, and make all kinds of changes to permanently tilt the political battlefield to their own advantage.
Here’s what he said:
RUSH: I don’t know about you, but I’d kind of like to see President Trump in Georgia. I’d like to see some rallies. I’m not alone in this. We got two Senate seats that are very crucial, the runoffs, Perdue and Loeffler. We gotta get these seats secured. Otherwise, the left is gonna be able to — well, they’re not gonna be stoppable. It’s just gonna be dependent on what they want to do as to how far they go.
So, those two Senate races, Perdue, Loeffler, they’re really crucial, and I think Trump is still the Republican Party. He’s still MAGA. He could still go down there and do some rallies and secure those two Senate seats. I don’t mean yesterday or today. But the runoffs, the elections are on June the 5th. So, time is of the essence
…RUSH: Also, in Georgia… You know, I mentioned mere moments that it would be great if there were some MAGA rallies in Georgia for the two Republican Senate candidates. Here’s another one. The Never Trumpers… (laughs) Are you ready? The Never Trumpers are saying Mitch McConnell will let the country burn if it means electing these two people.
If it means having a Republican-majority Senate, Mitch McConnell will let this country burn. “Cocaine Mitch,” they call him at this place. (laughing) But it would be nice, wouldn’t it? I mean, to have some kind of a showing of MAGA in Georgia for these seats. ‘Cause it does matter. But then there’s this report. This is from Breitbart’s David Ng: “Hollywood Heavyweights Including Will Smith, Mandy Moore, George Clooney, Pour Cash into Georgia Senate Runoffs …
“A-list stars including George Clooney, Will Smith, Joaquin Phoenix, and Leonardo DiCaprio are pouring cash into Georgia’s runoff elections, hoping to push Democratic challengers [the Pajama Boy] Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock,” who’s a genuine wacko, “across the finish line, thereby flipping the Senate blue. Clooney has donated $10,000 to the Georgie Federal Election Committee while Smith has given close to $4,000…”
This is chump change.
You people can’t be serious.
You think this is gonna matter? They’re Hollywood leftists and rich people. Four grand, 10 grand? That’s nothing. To these people, this is chump change. It might be the limit. Maybe you can’t give any more. But don’t tell me that this is a big sacrifice. So, Will Smith, four grand “according to Federal Election Commission data. The Hill first reported the donations, noting that Clooney,” okay, “maxed out on his donation back in June.” So there is a limit.
What we love about Rush is the same thing we admired about Trump. Even with the odds stacked against him, he’ll fight until that final bell.
It’s not often we’ve seen that kind of spine in Republican politics.
We like it. We want to see more of it.
We don’t yet know who will ultimately win the White House or the Senate.
But we can damned sure get to the end of the battle knowing we’ve given our all and not pulled any punches.

Thankful In 2020

“ These are the times that try men ’ s souls.
” Thomas Paine wrote this on December 23 , 1776 , as the Revolutionary War was wearing down the colonists .
In August , General George Washington ’ s troops suffered humiliating defeats and lost New York City to British troops .
Between September and December , 11,000 American volunteers gave up the fight and returned to their families .
It was a dark time .
Paine , though , added , “ The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will , in this crisis , shrink from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that stands by it now , deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.
” Those were dark , trying times .
I find it interesting that the first national Thanksgiving Day proclamation was made by President Lincoln in 1863 .
The Civil War was raging .
The Army of the Potomac had stopped Lee ’ s troops at Gettysburg .
Grant had successfully laid siege to Vicksburg .
In the middle of the ugliest war in our nation ’ s history , the first national proclamation of Thanksgiving was made .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ as I see it , returned to America in 2020 .
The nation seems as divided as it was in 1863 .
Controversy surrounds the 2020 election .
I ’ m not sure it can be proved in a courtroom , but it appears to me that the Democrats and the media conspired to rig the election against President Trump and those who voted for him .
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to run rampant through our country .
The number of cases seems to be rising .
There ’ s talk of schools @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going back to online instruction .
Thanksgiving in 2020 is different , too .
Many people are not meeting with family and friends for celebrations .
The Center for Disease Control and some states are encouraging people not to meet together for the holiday .
Against this dark backdrop , is there anything for which we can be thankful ?
The answer , I think , is a resounding yes .
In the political realm , we had four years of President Donald Trump and his capable administration .
During this time , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of job opportunities .

“These are the times that try men’s souls.” Thomas Paine wrote this on December 23, 1776, as the Revolutionary War was wearing down the colonists.
In August, General George Washington’s troops suffered humiliating defeats and lost New York City to British troops. Between September and December, 11,000 American volunteers gave up the fight and returned to their families. It was a dark time. Paine, though, added, “The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.” Those were dark, trying times.
I find it interesting that the first national Thanksgiving Day proclamation was made by President Lincoln in 1863. The Civil War was raging. The Army of the Potomac had stopped Lee’s troops at Gettysburg. Grant had successfully laid siege to Vicksburg. In the middle of the ugliest war in our nation’s history, the first national proclamation of Thanksgiving was made.
The dark and trying times have, as I see it, returned to America in 2020. The nation seems as divided as it was in 1863. Controversy surrounds the 2020 election. I’m not sure it can be proved in a courtroom, but it appears to me that the Democrats and the media conspired to rig the election against President Trump and those who voted for him.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to run rampant through our country. The number of cases seems to be rising. There’s talk of schools, the ones that had opened, going back to online instruction.
Thanksgiving in 2020 is different, too. Many people are not meeting with family and friends for celebrations. The Center for Disease Control and some states are encouraging people not to meet together for the holiday.
Against this dark backdrop, is there anything for which we can be thankful? The answer, I think, is a resounding yes.
In the political realm, we had four years of President Donald Trump and his capable administration. During this time, we saw economic growth and the expansion of job opportunities. During the Trump presidency, the Middle East experienced more peace than it had in a long time. During the Trump four years, we brought troops home from unwinnable wars and took huge steps to thwart and sometimes kill those who terrorize and attack us. Though the left and the media lied about it constantly throughout the campaign season, thanks to the Trump administration, it seems that vaccines for COVID-19 are on the way by the end of the year.

WATCH: Tucker Carlson’s Guest Explains How Big Tech Can Manipulate Elections By Influencing Voters — And Probably Did It To Defeat Trump

You didn ’ t really think Big Tech was planning to sit on the sidelines for this election did you ?
They have been openly partisan , not just with their donations , but with who and what they target for suppression and removal .
If even an anodyne PragerU message about the 10 commandments falls afoul of Silicon Valley ’ s censorship rules , but Antifa , Marxists , and leftists got to run wild .
They and the ‘ free ’ media together coordinated in their effort to take down a sitting President .
Their overt suppression of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s connections to foreign money ) was struck from public conversation , and later polling showed that had that story seen the light of day , something like 5 % of Democrats would have NOT voted for Biden on account of that story .
‘ How do I change my vote ’ was trending on Twitter that day .
But that wasn ’ t even the tip of the iceberg as Tucker ’ s guest Dr. Epstein explains : The politicization of COVID was another player , but not the big one .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Twitter , Facebook and others .
Dr. Epstein , an acknowledged Democrat , predicted exactly this situation more than a year ago , claiming they would be able to shift 15 Million votes without a paper trail .
He has studied the 2020 General election and has concluded that : 1 ) Google search results were strongly biased in favor of liberals and Democrats , ( which was not true of Bing or Yahoo ) 2 ) That bias was being shown to every demographic group studied , including Conservatives who got @ @ @ @ @ @ @ results than liberals .
3 ) ‘ Smoking gun ’ — a vote reminder was being sent ONLY to liberals .
Not one of their conservative field agents in battleground states received a vote reminder during those days .
( This manipulation was discontinued the same day that Epstein publicly exposed this behavior . )
4 ) The Bottom Line : Just these changes that his team has quantified could have shifted the vote at LEAST 6 million votes in just one direction .
That , by itself , is more than the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 6 Million number is a direct quote .
Keep in mind , Epstein is writing this as a scientist , not a political pundit or a researcher .
And since his preferred party is the beneficiary of this manipulation , his exposure of this runs counter to any personal biases he may have .
In other words , he ’ s clearly not putting a thumb on the scale to help someone he was already cheering for… a detail that increases credibility .
Epstein has been warning about this outcome for more than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Why aren ’ t we hearing more about this , and why was nothing done ?
He suggests a plausible reason .
Google literally buys candidates , and they offer large grants to many of his colleagues who might have the ability to study the facts and expose them .
People , as a rule , are often reluctant to bite the hand that feeds them .
Also , if you ’ re on the left , this has been helping your agenda .
But liberals should think twice about that faustian deal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ ll support your side tomorrow .
Big Tech is clamping down on conservative media big time .

clashdaily--2020-11-24--PBS Report Raised Red Flags With Georgia’s Electronic Voting System ONE WEEK Before The Election (VI

PBS Report Raised Red Flags With Georgia’s Electronic Voting System ONE WEEK Before The Election (VIDEO)

Is this just a “ conspiracy theory ” or factual reporting ?
That apparently rests on two things : who is saying it , and when they said it .
Just before the election when Trump was condemned by the media for holding rallies with thousands of people in attendance and Biden couldn ’ t fill a couple of dozen circles , the Media ( D ) went all-in on what are now considered “ conspiracy theories.
” The Public Broadcasting Network ( PBS ) had a segment on PBS NewsHour on October 26 , 2020 , discussing Georgia ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ report , they highlighted some of the problems with the system .
First up , it ’ s complicated .
PBS reports that the vote-tallying system is a “ complex assortment of laptops , iPads , magnetic cards , touchscreens , printers , and scanners.
” Harri Hursti , a “ white hat ” hacker who helps find flaws in the system , said , “ They have set up a complicated system , which is centralized , and doesn ’ t seem to have any safeguards.
” Well , that seems like @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this way : • iPads are used to check in voters .
It tells if an absentee-by-mail ballot had been sent , whether somebody ’ s voted early , whether they have voted that absentee ballot , or whether they are still eligible to vote .
• If a voter is eligible , it activates a magnetic card that in turn activates a Ballot Marking Device ( BMD ) where voters use a touchscreen to make their selections and then print their ballot .
• The printed ballot includes the printed text with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is then fed into another machine and read by an optical scanner .
Brad Raffensperger , Georgia ’ s Secretary of State , says that going through this complicated electronic process is more accurate than pen and paper .
Brad Raffensperger : The problem with pen and paper is , sometimes , you have your instructions on what you ’ re supposed to do , but you end up with spoiled ballots .
Sometimes , people will put an X here , but then they circle this one here , or they will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ did they really mean there ?
Miles O ’ Brien : Still , elections officials tell us they seldom see a hand-marked ballot where they can ’ t determine voter intent .
In 2019 , Georgia bought the devices from a Canadian company called Dominion Voting systems .
They replaced paperless machines like these made by a now defunct company called Diebold Election Systems .
A federal judge forced the state to scrap the discredited devices .
Election security activist Marilyn Marks was part of the lawsuit that triggered the change .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ now used widely in 14 states , are not the ideal remedy .
Marilyn Marks : We need paper records that are marked by the voter , with the voter ’ s own hand , where we know that was recorded the way that the voter wanted it recorded .
Miles O ’ Brien : So , she and the other plaintiffs took aim at the new voting machines .
The lawsuit came into sharp focus after their chaotic debut in the June primary .
The Poll Pads took as long as 30 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ displayed the wrong races , and would randomly shut down .
And the power-hungry ballot-marking devices blew circuit-breakers in numerous locations .
Poll workers , many of whom had no hands-on training because of the pandemic , were often befuddled by the new technology .
It seems that they fixed a problem that wasn ’ t there and created a whole new one .
J. Alex Halderman , a professor of Computer Science and Engineering , said that there are some potential problems with the QR codes .
J. Alex Halderman : By @ @ @ @ @ @ @ codes , I have been able to learn that there ’ s nothing that stops an attacker from just duplicating one , and the duplicate would count the same as the original bar code .
Miles O ’ Brien : And in late September , another concern came to light .
During testing , election workers found half the names of the 21 candidates for Senate intermittently disappeared from screens during the review phase .
J. Alex Halderman : I ’ m worried that the Georgia system is the technical equivalent to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a last-minute software change that might well have unintended consequences and cause even more severe problems on Election Day .
Harri Hursti : You never want to rush something which is mission-critical , and this is mission-critical , into production without proper time for testing .
That ’ s really one of the ways bad actors are finding the vulnerabilities to exploit is looking for honest vulnerabilities and finding out if they can be weaponized , if they can be exploited .
Miles O ’ Brien : Alex Halderman and his team at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if voters are likely to catch mistakes on the printouts .
Only 7 percent spotted a deliberately planted error .
So , double-check your ballot before you scan .
A full transcript is available at PBS NewsHour .
Don ’ t like what ’ s been happening with the election meddling ?
Have your say in a way Big Media can ’ t suppress : Don ’ t wait , get yours now !

Is this just a “conspiracy theory” or factual reporting?

Just before the election when Trump was condemned by the media for holding rallies with thousands of people in attendance and Biden couldn’t fill a couple of dozen circles, the Media (D) went all-in on what are now considered “conspiracy theories.”
The Public Broadcasting Network (PBS) had a segment on PBS NewsHour on October 26, 2020, discussing Georgia’s new electronic voting and in the report, they highlighted some of the problems with the system.
First up, it’s complicated. PBS reports that the vote-tallying system is a “complex assortment of laptops, iPads, magnetic cards, touchscreens, printers, and scanners.”
Harri Hursti, a “white hat” hacker who helps find flaws in the system, said, “They have set up a complicated system, which is centralized, and doesn’t seem to have any safeguards.”
Well, that seems like a problem, no?
It works this way:
iPads are used to check in voters. It tells if an absentee-by-mail ballot had been sent, whether somebody’s voted early, whether they have voted that absentee ballot, or whether they are still eligible to vote. If a voter is eligible, it activates a magnetic card that in turn activates a Ballot Marking Device (BMD) where voters use a touchscreen to make their selections and then print their ballot. The printed ballot includes the printed text with the selections and a QR code which is then fed into another machine and read by an optical scanner.
Brad Raffensperger, Georgia’s Secretary of State, says that going through this complicated electronic process is more accurate than pen and paper.
Here’s a transcript of Raffensperger’s explanation and a refutation: Brad Raffensperger: The problem with pen and paper is, sometimes, you have your instructions on what you’re supposed to do, but you end up with spoiled ballots. Sometimes, people will put an X here, but then they circle this one here, or they will make different marks on it. What did they really mean there? Miles O’Brien: Still, elections officials tell us they seldom see a hand-marked ballot where they can’t determine voter intent.

Marilyn Marks: We need paper records that are marked by the voter, with the voter’s own hand, where we know that was recorded the way that the voter wanted it recorded. Miles O’Brien: So, she and the other plaintiffs took aim at the new voting machines. The lawsuit came into sharp focus after their chaotic debut in the June primary. The Poll Pads took as long as 30 hours to download the voter database, displayed the wrong races, and would randomly shut down. And the power-hungry ballot-marking devices blew circuit-breakers in numerous locations. Poll workers, many of whom had no hands-on training because of the pandemic, were often befuddled by the new technology. It seems that they fixed a problem that wasn’t there and created a whole new one. J. Alex Halderman, a professor of Computer Science and Engineering, said that there are some potential problems with the QR codes. J. Alex Halderman: By analyzing the structure of the Q.R. codes, I have been able to learn that there’s nothing that stops an attacker from just duplicating one, and the duplicate would count the same as the original bar code. Miles O’Brien: And in late September, another concern came to light. During testing, election workers found half the names of the 21 candidates for Senate intermittently disappeared from screens during the review phase. Dominion sent out a last-minute software patch. J. Alex Halderman: I’m worried that the Georgia system is the technical equivalent to the 737 MAX. They have just made a last-minute software change that might well have unintended consequences and cause even more severe problems on Election Day. The “white hat hacker” Hursti agrees. Harri Hursti: You never want to rush something which is mission-critical, and this is mission-critical, into production without proper time for testing. That’s really one of the ways bad actors are finding the vulnerabilities to exploit is looking for honest vulnerabilities and finding out if they can be weaponized, if they can be exploited. But here’s the kicker… Miles O’Brien: Alex Halderman and his team at Michigan conducted a mock election to see if voters are likely to catch mistakes on the printouts. Only 7 percent spotted a deliberately planted error. So, double-check your ballot before you scan. A full transcript is available at PBS NewsHour.
