In November 2022, The Gateway Pundit reported that a Dallas County polling location randomly began to increment voters on the ES&S ExpressPoll pollbooks. As the polls were getting ready to close for the November 8th, 2022 election, poll workers in Dallas County noticed that their E-Pollbooks were adding hundreds of checked-in voters at a time. This took place sporadically for about 15 minutes, with all of the devices settling on inflated numbers.
The Gateway Pundit received an exclusive video showing that that it happened again in Dallas County. On the Nov. 7th election, as polls were getting ready to close, poll workers noticed their ES&S ExpressPoll E-Pollbooks acting in almost the same behavior as 2022: hundreds of votes were added over the course of 15-20 minutes as they were beginning to prepare to close the polls.
The poll book in the video should have had 182 voters, however, the machine randomly began to add more and more voters until finally displaying “1,377 voters checked in”, or 1,195 more voters than should have been displayed.

Further, the Dallas County GOP reported that they experienced “widespread problems with the E-Pollbooks’ connectivity to the internet…it began the first day of early voting with 20-30% of the Voting Centers being offline for anywhere from two hours to half a day.” They claimed the issues continued to Election Day with “many Voting Centers reporting that the E-Pollbooks were offline” with one location being offline until mid-afternoon.
At one polling location, a voter showed as “voted” on one pollbook and as “eligible” on the pollbook right next to it.
The Gateway Pundit article about the E-Pollbook surges in 2022 was “fact-checked” by LeadStories and cited the Dallas County Elections Department and ES&S. In that “fact-check”, they described the system as “state-certified”, however, at the time of the 2022 Election, the Texas Secretary of State website did not have any current certifications listed for the ES&S E-Pollbooks. In fact, the Wayback Machine shows it wasn’t updated until the January 2023 archive with a May 31, 2022 certification date.
Lead Stories goes on to cite the Dallas County “Rumor Control” page that said:
“During the voting period, a qualified voter is accepted for voting at the e-pollbook and the transaction is recorded locally on the e-pollbook. The transaction is also uploaded to a central server hosted by ES&S through an encrypted connection. The central server receives the information, updates the database, and then allows all the other e-pollbooks in the system to download the transaction.
On Election Day, Dallas County processed over 200,000 voters on the e-pollbooks, which uploaded the transactions to the central server in a timely fashion. However, Dallas County noticed that there appeared to be some delay in the downloading of those transactions to the other e-pollbooks.
Once the polls closed at 7 pm on Election Day, the upload traffic on the network decreased and, as a result, the downloads appeared to have sped up significantly. Poll workers at many locations noticed the increased speed and continued downloads on their e-pollbooks after the close of the polls and reported those transactions to Dallas County and other entities.”
They then cite Katina Granger, the then-senior manager of public relations for ES&S, stating the following:
“During Election Day, any activity on the pollbook – including the check-in of a voter – is recorded as a transaction. These transactions are regularly synced through the day with the central database – with each pollbook uploading and downloading transactions. In locations where connectivity is slow or when there is a high amount of volume being shared by the secure network, these transactions may see delays uploading, downloading, and syncing. As connections improve or network volume eases, the pollbooks upload and download transactions which may have been previously delayed – updating data across all pollbooks. This transactional data may continue to update even after the close of polls, as long as pollbooks are connected to the central server, until all data is accurately reflected on each pollbook.”
And lastly, Sam Taylor, assistant secretary of state for communications for the Texas Secretary of State, told Lead Stories:
“Generally speaking, ePollbooks are required to communicate with each other and update in real time throughout the county, showing who has checked in at other polling places so that no voter can try to cast a ballot twice.”
This is how these systems are supposed to function: you vote, it updates the central server, communicates with all the other E-Pollbooks, and then ensures that a voter who checks in wasn’t already checked in at another location.
Further, the excuse that they are delayed because they are in locations where “connectivity is slow” is absurd since these units have priority internet access through CradlePoint and FirstNet as “critical infrastructure”.
What they shouldn’t do is increment the E-Pollbook for every single voter in all of Dallas County, or even that particular precinct. And if they did, the E-Pollbooks at the end of the night would all be in-sync. Poll workers typically keep a paper back-up of voters they checked in just in case something happens to the internet-connected devices. If the E-Pollbook at one voting station reflected every voter in Dallas County, or even in that precinct, this would render a paper back-up useless. The paper back-up would show 182 voters checked in at that station, for example, while the E-Pollbook would show over 200,000 or so for the county, or all the E-Pollbooks would match for that particular precinct.
Kill all the voting computers and go back to paper ballots with both dims and gopers doing the counting and counting again. Have nothing communicated by computer with two witnesses hand delivering tabulated votes to sec of state.
What voter fraud?
And it’s not just happening in the US...
1,195 more voters than should have been displayed.
In some countries people would swing for such actions.
man the ropes
The entire US will turn blue because of this.
The Ballot Box
has become
A Black Box,
……only a small handful of “technicians” have access. Nobody knows who they are, their employment is dependent on their company, whose system was authorized by Democrat politicians.
Poll watchers used to assigned by the parties, and worked in tandem (Elephanr + Donkey Pairs) WHY ARE NOT TECHNICIANS REQUIRED TO BE in bi-Partisan teams as well, made up of people who KNOW the software? And definitely NOT employees of the software-providing company, since the companies have massive incentive$$$$ to NOT FIND OR REPORT PROBLEMS?
What y’all rubes have gotta understand is that there’s a perfectly harmless, innocent explanation for this tawdry-looking pseudo-nefariousness. It’s easily debunked.
Follow the science, you rubes.
the solution is so simple, it is almost like no one wants to fix this problem.
Actually I do not think anyone wants to fix it.
Oh, I’m sure that there’s a reasonable explanation for that. Let’s wait and see what the fact checkers say. /sarc
Oh, okay......snx.
If the GOP cannot get a grip on election fraud, I don’t see them winning any meaningful elections again.
That’s not a software bug. It’s a feature!
”In your face” is our communist masters' favorite tool to rattle the chains of tyranny that they have wrapped around our necks...
If there is no consequence there is no need to hide it................
So these E Poll tablets are ONLY supposed to record someone signing in at a polling place, then send the info to a central system to up date the records? Sure
No way to manipulate that. snx
Here in our Florida County, each precinct polling place has a PAPER logbook of every REGISTERED voter in that precinct. It also has the names of registered voters in other precincts in case someone comes in to vote at the wrong polling place so they can be directed to the correct polling place per their address.
As each voter is given a ballot, their name is physically crossed off the list as having voted.
Florida requires 30 day before an election advanced registration. No same day registration..................
"Further, the Dallas County GOP reported [??? emphasis added] ..."
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Given Section 2 of the 14th Amendment, that section a penalty for states where ballot box fraud has occurred, the key question concerning Dallas County voting problems is the following imo.
Did Texas GOP ever formally request a Section 2 investigation of alleged Dallas County voting problems?
As you give Section 2 below a look, note the zero tolerance "hair triggers" for enforcing that section. That section would probably have worked in favor of Trump's red tsunami of patriot supporters in 2020 and 2022 elections if it weren't for the corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties that have pirated control of state and federal governments imo.
"is denied to any"
"or in any way abridged,"
"14th Amendment, Section 2: Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced [emphases added] in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State." [Apportionment of Representatives]
"14th Amendment, Section 5: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article."
In fact, if this were a better world, then the feds and media would be publicly reminding the states for every election to be careful not to do anything that would justify the feds darkening their doorway to audit an election to determine if Section 2 has been compromised imo.
The problem now is that political party elites are seemingly obstructing the due process of Section 2 concerning allegations of vote-counting fraud in the 2020 and 2022 elections in several states imo. This is evidenced by the federal lawmakers who blatantly ignored Section 2 with respect to allegations of vote-counting fraud on J6 imo.
That being said, the next major political event in USA is not hopeful Trump 47 being elected a third time, but Democratic and Republican Trump-supporting patriots getting ready ASAP to support Trump campaign by primarying ALL state and federal, lawmakers and executives, except for MTG Gaetz & Company (and others?), for the 2024 primaries.
After all, lawmakers and executives continue to show that they do not have the patriotism and leadership skills necessary to find legislative support for effective remedies for unconstitutional government policies.
In fact, consider that, since one of the very few powers that the states have expressly constitutionally given to the big, bad federal government to dictate peacetime domestic policy is to run the US Mail Service (most federal domestic policy actually based on stolen state powers imo), the worst problem that the country would otherwise be looking at with a new Congress of Trump-supporting freshman lawmakers is arguably that citizens that would ultimately get into the habit of lightheartedly questioning if the federal government has shutdown if they receive their mail a few days late.
"Article I, Section 8, Clause 7: To establish Post Offices and post Roads;"
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Trump can endorse candidates from lists that patriots who respect the federal government's constitutionally limited powers provide for him, as long as candidates are not incumbents, candidates also promising to repeal the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments after they win office.
Consider the repealing of 16&17A as part of reparations for victim taxpayers of the unconstitutionally big federal government for having to pay a lifetime of unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that Congress cannot reasonably justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers and a few other constitutionally enumerated expenses.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
From the congressional record:
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
Pelosi: "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it." (non-FR; 6 sec.)
Democrats Are Terrified Of An Educated And Informed Public (3.12.23)
The definition of insanity is reelecting your beloved career state and federal lawmakers and executives over and over again, expecting those same politicians to find remedies for unconstitutional government policies every time.
Again, let's not allow ourselves to be fooled for third time in 2024 by the corrupt, constitutionally undefined political parties that have pirated control of state and federal governments.
Someone big is cheating on the votes again. The entire United States must go back to paper ballots. The electronic machines are being hacked.
Thank you for the ping!
'Hacked' isn't quite the correct technological term for what is happening. Hacking involves some third party gaining access to the software/firmware of a computer system and having it do something that it was never intended to do.
In this case, and others like it, it's doing exactly what it was intended to do.................
