Retaining election records from the 2020 election

Did the number of people who voted in the November 3, 2020 general election equal the number of ballots cast? A recent research study by the America First Policy Institute (AFPI) says the records that would answer the question do not exist.

Records are supposed to be maintained to determine how many people have voted in an election and how many ballots have been cast. Section 20701 of the Civil Rights Act of 1960 provides that election officials have to keep all records of federal primary, special, or general elections for 22 months after the date of the election. Any willful violation can be punished by a fine of up to $1,000 or imprisonment for one year, or both. Section 20702 provides similar penalties for the willful theft, destruction, concealment, mutilation, or alteration of any such record. The purpose of these sections is to make it more difficult to hide election fraud.

How good of a job are election officials doing in retaining these records?

In 2021, the Voter Reference Foundation (VRF) began a study "to analyze the difference between total ballots cast in various states in the 2020 general election and the total number of voters who cast ballots in that election. Listed below are the discrepancies between the number of ballots cast and voters found from VRF's data from secretaries of state, which were obtained through public records requests. For the states marked with 'precinct-level data,' this indicates the statistics AFPI obtained from our public records requests to the precinct level, which the VRF did not have at the time of this review."

State | Discrepancy Between the Number of Ballots Cast and the Number of Voters ̶

Alaska | 3,326

Connecticut | 37,256

Colorado | 439

Florida | 158,319

Georgia | 52,703 Precinct level data

Any person or entity should be able to obtain electronic copies and retain them indefinitely.

The charge for this service might be $50 + twice the cost of the necessary USB drives.

They have no intention of retaining these records. They know they aren’t going to go to prison for destroying the information. Oops, my bad.

Kemp, Raffensberger, and Carr let Dekalb County destroy their ballots within a month or two, if I’m not mistaken. All the ballots, from Fulton Cty, that were supposed to be audited ended up in a shredder.

Nothing happens.

While you’re at it, repeal the 19th and 17th and 16th amendments.

Personally, I think we’d be far better off as a country to repeal everything past the 10th Amendment......all Laws passed since that point, passed by the Federal Government should be voided, and we can then proceed to States Rights. America could return to Greatness, and life would be simplified and independent.

That’s why they need to destroy these records.
