Garland Favorito – Fraud Found in Georgia’s Audit

Hints had been dropped over the weekend that on Tuesday, bombshell news would come out of Georgia. Garland Favorito’s press conference yesterday did not disappoint. Favorito, the plaintiff in a Georgia lawsuit, was granted access to the ballots cast in Fulton county’s November election. He also gained access to the materials used in the county’s risk-limiting audit—the one that was done to verify the accuracy of the election. In yesterday’s press conference, Favorito said his team found a 60% error rate in the county’s audit. This morning, on Steve Bannon’s War Room, Favorio summarized his findings, which are being added to his amended complaint.

“We uncovered from public documents… massive errors in the Georgia audit as well as some fraud.” 

Here’s why that’s significant: We’ve been told, ad nauseum, that forensic audits aren’t necessary because government agencies do their own audits. Favorito’s team just torpedoed that argument, showing incompetence and fraud in the audit process.

It seems like Georgia will soon be forced to conduct a forensic audit, but the dynamics will probably different from the one being done in Arizona. In Maricopa County, the Board of Supervisors opposed the process every step of the way, claiming there was no reason to conduct an audit. In Georgia, fraud is being exposed prior to an audit, removing plausible reasons for withholding evidence.

July 11 Election Update – The 30,000 Foot View

The 16th in a series of articles that examine where America is headed following the 2020 election.

As we head into a new week, I’d like to provide an update on the status of election audits, investigations, and lawsuits around the country as well as a little strategic perspective.

State by State Roundup 

In Arizona, the state Senate is conducting a forensic audit of Maricopa county’s November election. Currently, the audit is looking at Presidential and Senate races, but it could be expanded to other races. A full report is expected later this summer.The Pennsylvania state Senate just began an election audit of three counties: Tioga, York, and Philadelphia. The Senate has issued letters of request for election materials and has asked counties to comply by July 31st. Doug Mastriano said subpoenas will be issued if counties do not comply and said the audit could be expanded to other counties. State officials are already erecting roadblocks to hamper the audit.The Wisconsin state Senate has commissioned an investigation of the November election, hiring 3 retired law enforcement officers to look into thousands of complaints and tips. (This investigation is not an audit.)In Michigan, Matt DePerno is uncovering election fraud through a lawsuit filed in Antrim county. Most state officials are fighting calls for an audit.In Georgia, private citizens have filed lawsuits in several counties and are working to uncover enough fraud to compel state officials to authorize an audit.In Washington, state Rep Robert Sutherland is scheduling public hearings to gather evidence of election irregularities.In New Hampshire, the town of Windham conducted an audit but state officials have shown little interest in authorizing a larger one.

The 40,000 Foot View

Is easy to react emotionally to news stories about the election. Certain events and interviews are designed as opportunities to disseminate propaganda. Some news stories have no other purpose than to demoralize us. I fight emotional highs and lows by keeping my eye on the big picture and evaluating responses by opponents to our actions.

It may help to think of this as a chess game. In chess, it’s difficult to know who will win in the end, but you can gauge who has the advantage at any point in time by observing how one person reacts to their opponent’s moves.

In Arizona, the state Senate has waged a steady campaign to inspect materials related to the election. The Maricopa Board of Supervisors, the Secretary of State, the Governor, the media, and the Biden administration have made many moves to oppose the audit. They managed to delay the delivery of routers, passwords, and logs, but they have not prevented the audit from moving forward. There is no doubt in my mind that the audit will be completed and the results made public.

A similar series of moves should be anticipated in Pennsylvania. There, the state Senate is using an approach similar to that of Arizona, thus we should expect the media and elected officials to oppose the audit in similar ways. But the Senate has the legal authority to conduct the audit and they will likely prevail.

Georgia is a different story. There, citizens are gaining access to ballots through lawsuits. But as more evidence of fraud comes out, both Governor Kemp and Secretary of State Raffensperger have made public statements admitting that major problems exist with the state’s election system, and they’re warming up to the idea of an audit. The momentum in Georgia has shifted toward a forensic audit and this state may, in the end, put up less opposition to one.

I would expect that once the results of the Arizona audit are made public, if fraud is found, other states may consider audits. We know that representatives from at least 14 states have visited the Maricopa audit. As of June 20th, the Arizona Audit War Room Twitter account claimed that 20 states had sent delegations. (Some representatives have visited the audit and asked not to be publicly mentioned for fear of retaliation.)

20 State Delegations visited AZ to tour what is now being called the GOLD STANDARD for forensic election audits. Audits are a state right and this is just the beginning!

When you hear about the latest move to oppose election transparency, keep in mind that these people are fighting (and losing) a battle to prevent the truth from coming out. Their moves are reactions to the moves of people who are determined to expose fraud and corruption. Momentum, the facts, and the law are on their side.

If you believe election fraud is a problem in your state, please call and email your representatives and senators and demand an audit.

Transitioning From a Culture of Trusting Others to Trusting Ourselves

The title of this article is bound to raise a few eyebrows. I am not proposing that we should ignore the biblical admonition to trust God. Nor do I intend to argue against the fact that the human heart is deceitful. The narrow question I’ll address here is where we get the information we use to understand current events.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve trusted members of the press to investigate current events and report their findings. Recently, I learned that my trust was misplaced. The media have been feeding me half-truths. Having been made aware of this, I began looking for a different source of information. In 2018, I stumbled upon Q—an anonymous entity that encouraged people to dig through publicly available news articles, videos, and government documents to uncover the truth for themselves.

As I thought about the questions Q asked, and plowed through the linked documents, I learned that the media had been covering up institutionalized corruption. A new view of the world began taking shape in my mind. Not surprisingly, it was completely different from the model the media portrays.

The Research
Q has posted hints on hundreds of subjects. I learned that I could usually find the truth of a matter if I did a little digging. Because I didn’t have time to research every subject myself, sometimes, I’d look at the work of other researchers (anons). I’d examine their research and conclusions and see if they had connected the dots correctly. If they had, I would share their work with others. The anons that follow Q have created a sweeping narrative of culture that opposes the one disseminated by society’s corrupt overlords.

A sublime truth emerged from all of this. I realized I didn’t need anyone to tell me how the world works. I discovered that truth for myself by doing my own research. Q merely suggested where I should look for information.

We’ve gotten ourselves into this predicament because we trusted others to tell us the truth and they betrayed us. Many people still prefer to get their information from someone else—especially if a source appears to have information not available to the public. I don’t follow so-called “intelligence insiders” who make fantastic claims, offer no proof, and then dare people to prove they are lying. When you make a claim based on information not available to the public, the public can neither verify nor falsify the claim. One cannot build an accurate picture of current events based on rumors and unproven claims by anonymous sources.

I’ve learned (along with millions of anons) that we don’t need others to tell us what’s happening in the world. We can uncover the facts ourselves. And that is the primary goal of Q’s operation. Q did not intend to make us dependent on intelligence insiders for information. He trained us to become citizen journalists—free-thinking people who do their own research and come to their own conclusions.

We are, at this moment, transitioning from a time when we trusted in others to tell how the world works to a time when we must trust ourselves.

People often ask how do I know which subjects to focus on and which to ignore. The topics I focus on and every Q decode I provide is guided by the Holy Spirit. Although I’ve come to trust my research, it would be useless if not for the guidance of God. When Q says “trust yourself,” he is not telling us to ignore our relationship with God. It is God’s Spirit that leads us into all truth.

What Happens Next? Pennsylvania Gets a Forensic Audit

The 15th in a series of articles that examine where America is headed following the 2020 election.

This morning, State Senator Doug Mastriano announced that his committee has requested from three Pennsylvania counties election ballots, tabulation machines, data storage drives, and other items used in the November 2020 election. Tioga, York, and Philadelphia counties will have their elections audited and have until July 31st to comply with the request. If they do not comply, the Senate is prepared to issue subpoenas. Mastriano plans to conduct a forensic audit based on the Maricopa County model. He confirmed in an interview with John Fredericks this morning that other counties in the state could be audited.

As I noted in my most recent post in this series, momentum has shifted and more audits seem likely. Election guru Seth Keshel has hinted that an audit is about to be announced in a state that Trump won, and Washington state Rep Robert Sutherland is scheduling public hearings to receive sworn testimony about election irregularities. (If you live in Washington state and have evidence or testimony you’d like to present at the hearings, you can contact Sutherland here.)

In other news, President Trump announced that he plans to file class-action lawsuits against Facebook, Google, and Twitter, and their CEOs Mark Zuckerberg, Sundar Pichai, and Jack Dorsey. Pam Bondi said they plan to prove that big tech companies are “government actors,” and as such, are required to protect the first amendment free speech, which they have not. I’ve submitted my information to become a plaintiff in the suits. If you’d like to join the lawsuit, you can submit your information here.

Election Momentum Has Changed – What Happens Next?

The 14th in a series of articles that examine where America is headed following the 2020 election.

In Arizona, the hand recount and visual inspection portions of the Maricopa County audit are complete. The data is now being examined, and, according to Ken Bennett, that includes 118 terabytes of electronically stored data. The full audit report is expected no sooner than August.

Ken Bennett - 118 Terabytes of Data

Much has been made about the network passwords, routers, and logs that have not yet been turned over to the Senate by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. It’s apparent that the Board is never going to turn them over voluntarily. That could be because these items contain the most incriminating evidence. A few news outlets have taken advantage of the emotional aspect of this issue, and their articles have generated needless anger and frustration over it.

The goal of the Maricopa County audit is to determine if the election was run according to best practices. It seems likely that fraud, malfeasance, and incompetence will be found, even if the logs, routers, and passwords are not turned over. Since Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich is running for the U.S. Senate next year, he has sufficient motivation to do the right thing when Karen Fann and the Senate turn over their evidence to him. I would expect Brnovich to obtain the missing materials with a warrant and conduct an appropriate investigation. If he doesn’t, Donald Trump will make sure he is not elected to the Senate.

Although most of us expect that the results of the Maricopa County audit will show discrepancies, we’ve had no official confirmation of that until yesterday. On Saturday, Arizona Senator Sonny Borelli retweeted an account that said the audit report “will show significant discrepancies between the ballots audit and the original count.” Borelli’s retweet carries weight because he’s a member of the AZ Senate Judiciary Committee, which ordered the audit.

  Fellow Senate Judiciary Committee member Wendy Rogers confirmed this in her own tweet.

This tweet was retweeted by the great patriot @SonnyBorrelli, former Marine and is on the Arizona Senate Judiciary Committee with me. Our committee is the one that can act after sine die. He knows what he is saying. https://t.co/1P6lHWVzNT

During war, troops go through emotional highs and lows. If an army can maintain a positive attitude over the duration of the war, they generally fare better. We’re presently engaged in an information war. Since the November election, patriots have been exposed to repetitive cycles of bad news, which has demoralized them. But lately, the news has been in our favor, and momentum is building.

On Thursday, we were handed a victory when the Supreme Court upheld two Arizona laws; one that forbids ballot harvesting and another that requires election workers to discard ballots cast in the wrong precinct. The fact that SCOTUS took up an election case at all is noteworthy, but the 6-3 decision signals the Court’s recognition that states have a right to administer elections as they see fit.

In Georgia, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has admitted that Fulton Couty’s election system is hopelessly compromised. He’s considering putting the county election under state receivership and, according to John Solomon, is willing to consider an audit.

In Cobb County Georgia, it is now being reported that 168,000 ballots are missing chain of custody documents.

This morning, a woman who attended an event last night where Georgia gubernatorial candidates addressed voters posted this observation on telegram.

The two men who had previously claimed Georgia’s election was safe and secure are now being forced by the facts to consider an audit. The momentum has shifted in Georgia, and it may be affecting Pennsylvania.

In Pennsylvania, Doug Mastriano is moving the state Senate closer to an audit. He reportedly met with legal counsel last week to learn about the feasibility of privately funding an audit the way Arizona did. Mastriano has plenty of reason to champion an audit. President Trump has reportedly asked him to run for Governor. If he plans to do so, he could make election reform his focus the way Mark Finchem is highlighting election integrity in his bid for Arizona Secretary of State. If Pennsylvania conducts an audit, particularly if it looks at Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, there is little doubt fraud will be found.

Once fraud is found, and voters are made aware of it, there is danger in not making things right. So far, state legislators have given us little reason to trust them, but as momentum builds for election transparency, more pressure is put on them to correct mistakes—not just mistakes in process, but mistakes in outcome. As President Trump ramps up his rallies, he’ll put even more pressure on legislatures to return what was stolen. What can they do? According to Rachel Maddow and the media mob, nothing can be done at this point. But in fact, there is much that could and likely will be done.

Admittedly, this is uncharted territory. It’s impossible to accurately predict what will happen, but it’s possible to guess what may happen.

If the Arizona, Georgia, and Pennsylvania legislatures conduct audits and find fraud on a scale that calls into question the November election, any of these states could invalidate the results and decertify their state’s Biden electors. Any of them could request a new election. If a state ends up in court, a judge may order a new election or could award Trump the state’s electoral votes.

As it stands now, Joe Biden has 306 electoral college votes to Trump’s 232. If Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Arizona withdrew their electors (and corresponding votes), Biden’s vote total would drop to 259; eleven votes short of the number needed to win the electoral college. If those votes were transferred to Trump, he would then be the winner, at least on paper.

Since the Electoral College has already met and certified Joe Biden as President, what happens next?

It’s hard to imagine these matters not being brought before the Supreme Court. It’s possible SCOTUS will accept a case and issue a ruling negating an election outcome. But it seems unlikely (at least to me) that the required four justices will agree to accept one of these cases. Too much is a stake and they have too little courage.

It also seems unlikely that the U.S. Congress will decide the matter since neither political party has a sufficient majority to take action.

State legislatures could call special sessions, but some states have Democrat (or RINO) governors who won’t cooperate. Most legislatures have a majority too small to give them the votes required to call a special session on their own. However, if they used article II, section 1, clause 2 of the constitution, which gives plenary power to state legislators in the matter of federal elections, a legislative body could call a special session to address the issue of electors and ignore state-imposed restrictions, since federal duty supersedes state law.

While Donald Trump has made a tacit claim to be the rightful president, Joe Biden does not seem willing to voluntarily abdicate the Oval Office. A showdown seems inevitable. My concern is that it will devolve into a show of force. The use of force seems more likely given the fact that Biden’s DOJ and intelligence agencies have chosen to persecute, harass and illegally surveil Trump supporters. The tens of millions of people who support Trump seem determined that things must be made right. If federal and state governments and the courts refuse to act, would Trump supporters take matters into their own hands?

They might.

And that presents a problem for the Biden administration (and the military). We’re talking about a revolution against the government. And while I do not advocate violence against the government, as an analyst, I have to consider the theoretical possibility.

If the Defense Department detected a serious, imminent threat of insurrection against the Biden administration, I would expect them to intervene before violence erupts. The question is which side they would take. At present, it may seem like Biden has the military behind him, but Trump’s comments about the “woke” military highlight the fact that they’re experiencing a crisis of leadership. I would not be surprised if soon, new leaders emerge at the Pentagon. My suspicion is that the rank and file soldier would support Trump, but time will tell if that hunch is correct.

My Thoughts On the Arizona Legislature Adjourning For the Year

If you don’t live in Arizona (or aren’t following news related to the Maricopa County audit), you may have just learned that the Arizona legislature is about to adjourn for the year. That wouldn’t be newsworthy were it not for the fact that the Senate’s election audit is weeks from wrapping up. State Senator Kelly Townsend has been on a crusade to keep the legislature in session over the summer in the event that new laws need to be drafted to address any problems found in the audit. Last night, social media platforms were abuzz with requests that the Arizona legislature remain in session.

I’ve been aware of this issue for more than a month as I follow Kelly Towsend on Telegram and she has been pretty vocal about it. I understand her concerns, but I’ve been uncertain as to whether I should push the matter myself on social media. Although the legislature won’t return in its full capacity to draft new laws this year, the judiciary committee can meet at any time to discuss the results of the audit and take appropriate action. It seems like no further legislation may be needed anyway. A slew of new election reform bills have been passed by the House and Senate, but they’re being held hostage by Governor Ducey, who needs a budget approved by the end of the month. If Ducey gets his budget, the legislature gets their election reform bills signed into law.

I did post a request last night on Telegram for the legislature to consider remaining in session. I did not expect them to honor the request. I was hoping that if enough people made a fuss, they would respond, and they did not disappoint.

The AZ Senate will finish what they started. Sine Die will not impact the audit. It’s an important procedural step to make their legislation effective. Don’t fall for the hype. pic.twitter.com/2JkVS9CsNb

I’m reluctant to trust politicians. But it’s my working hypothesis that a few brave elected officials here in Arizona have found a reason to expose election malfeasance (or fraud). They’ve taken a beating from their colleagues and the media for their cause. If politicians are determined to expose corruption in the very mechanism that gives them power, we might extend to them a small degree of trust.

I assume they would not have embarked on such a task without developing a comprehensive plan that outlines the strategies and tactics necessary to achieve their goal, whatever it may be. If they succeed, they will go down in history as heroes. If they fail, they need not bother seeking re-election. Their fate is in their hands, and they have more at stake in this than I do. They are the ones who must carry out their plan. My role is to support them with prayer and make my concerns known. Last night, I made them known, and the President of the Senate responded, asking me to trust them. Until and unless they do something to violate that trust, I’m going to sleep well, trusting that a few good people are working on our behalf to set things right.

The Senate may even have a plan to deal with the missing routers, logs, and passwords that the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors has refused to turn over. Karen Fann has confirmed that if evidence of fraud is found, criminal referrals will be made to the Attorney General’s office. While the board may stiff-arm the Senate, the AG’s office can simply impound the subpoenaed materials. That may be why Fann isn’t pushing the issue as hard as some would prefer. I suspect that leaders in the Senate have a strategy mapped out further in advance than they can say publicly, but that just a hunch.
