OPINION: Expect more election audits: States finally following the constitution

It is a year late but states are finally taking back their constitutional responsibility for their own elections. Democratic state secretaries and/or governors arbitrarily changed existing state law to influence the 2020 election in battleground states to favor their Democratic candidates.

As all know, outside censored media, in Arizona the state senate is deep in a forensic audit of Maricopa County's November 3, 2020, election. Currently, the audit is looking at presidential and senate races, but it could be expanded to other race results later this summer. The main release is targeted for August.

Pennsylvania, Democrat election officials are panicking because of "the scale of known Philadelphia ballot fraud." Acting secretary of state, Democrat Veronica Degraphenred issued a "statewide directive seeking to block any Pennsylvania legislative attempt to audit the 2020 election results." But the U.S.Constitution clearly leaves all the law making regarding elections with the state legislature alone (see Article 1, Section 4) and the Pennsylvania Senate just began an election audit of three counties: Tioga, York and Philadelphia.

Wisconsin does not yet have an audit but the state senate "has commissioned an investigation of the election, hiring three retired law enforcement officers to look into thousands of complaints and tips received since November."

In Michigan, Matt DePerno is uncovering election fraud through a lawsuit filed in Antrim County. Lawsuits force discovery, opening volumes of suppressed information which can be used elsewhere as well. Unfortunately, most state officials are still fighting calls for an audit but that breaks down as more and more evidence surfaces.

In the state of Washington, Representative Robert Sutherland is scheduling public hearings to gather evidence of election irregularities.

In New Hampshire, the town of Windham conducted an audit but there has been no interest by state officials in authorizing a larger one (Ep. 2524-Facts Are Coming Out at a Level which can be called Fast and Furious. Let's See what Happens, X22 Reports, July 11, 2021, Praying Medic).

In Georgia, a nti-Trump Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, "is making public a list of nearly 102,000 voters who will be removed from the voting rolls unless they act to preserve their registration." These he suspects of having died or moved from the state, 67,000 of whom had "submitted a change of address form to the U.S. Postal Service, and about 34,000 voters who had election mail returned" (Georgia officials seek to remove 102,000 voters from rolls, by Jeff Amy, Atlanta, June 18, 2021).

Certainly several thousand of such had died or moved before the 2020 Presidential election. If these are found to have still voted, though dead or moved long before the election, the state may have to have an audit, more so if these voted for Biden in large enough numbers to have given him the election. Many wonder why the cleansing of the voter rolls was not implemented before the election. Private citizens have filed lawsuits in several counties that are working to uncover enough fraud to compel state officials to authorize an audit. Once again, suits allow discovery of previously suppressed data.

Last March, Georgia passed the Election Integrity Act of 2021 closing the door of what supporters believed was much of the fraud it spotted in the 2020 Presidential Election. The 98-page law tightened the rules on early voting, absentee voting, limited the number of and places of drop boxes, shortened runoff times and required voter ID for voting, among other things. That this new law came about so soon after the election just passed demonstrates that a majority of the legislators felt that the election had been fraudulent. To a lesser degree several other states have done the same.

So, despite the Left's long-standing attempt to censor, then discredit, any probe into the 2020 presidential election, there's much interest in the Arizona audit, with at least 14 states viewing it very carefully, waiting for the results. If they produce the evidence, other state audits will follow. (Ep. 2524-Facts Are Coming Out at a Level which can be called Fast and Furious. Let's See what Happens, X22 Reports, July 11, 2021). The Left will do anything to suppress this information, including one or more "red flags" (an event to upstage this news for other news) or media blackouts -- this to maintain their hold on the uninformed.

How certain are proponents that audits will prove massive election treason? Dr. Douglas G. Frank, a statistician of some renown, focusing upon the impossibilities of so many of the mathematical anomalies surrounding the 2020 Presidential Election wrote, of three indisputable facts. First, "We already have ample evidence of algorithms operational in dozens of states, based upon ... different mathematical approaches." Each shows, "There is a dead body on the floor, a murder has been committed."

Second, "We have piles of forensic evidence which reveal the means by which the manipulations took place. We have the murder weapon and the fingerprints."

And third, "Now, we are processing video tapes (PCAPs) of the manipulation taking place during November ... and also in subsequent elections." Why? "We are going to show the tapes in public, because the courts won't take the murder case, and too much of the public hasn't even seen the dead body on the floor yet. We are going to play the movies for everyone."

Obvious conclusion, expect more election audits.
