January 22, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — Though Joe Biden was officially sworn in and is already hard at work on a hard-left reset of American society, he isn’t a duly elected president any more than he was last week. Democrats may have gone through the motions, but the inauguration ceremony on Wednesday didn’t do anything to resolve their wide-ranging crimes that corrupted last year’s presidential race.
The Democrats’ 2020 election heist included unlawful mega-grants from Big Tech; extra-statutory, selectively-applied rule changes; and at least one left-wing vote-buying scheme — little of it remedied in court or otherwise.
Most importantly, as the Amistad Project, an election watchdog, unveiled late last year, Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, improperly injected $400 million into election processes across the country in 2020, largely benefiting Democrats. Grants in swing states tracked by the Amistad Project went almost exclusively to counties won by Hillary Clinton in 2016.
State and local officials in heavily Democratic cities and counties “contracted with Center for Tech and Civic Life, a nonprofit funded by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg to make election plans against ones legally provided for by state legislatures under federal statutes,” the Amistad Project said in a report from December.
For example, their report outlines how four Wisconsin cities organized their election processes with the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), devising the “Wisconsin Safe Election Plan” to receive millions in grant money from the nonprofit. This plan “was not authored by the state” and “undermines the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), which requires state election plans to be submitted to federal officials and approved,” the Amistad Project noted.
“The provision of Zuckerberg-CTCL funds allowed these Democrat strongholds to spend roughly $47 per voter, compared to $4 to $7 per voter in traditionally Republican areas of the state,” the group continued.
“The disparate impact of Zuckerberg funding is also present in the analysis of CTCL funding in Pennsylvania,” the Amistad Project said. Thanks to CTCL, “'[i]n Democrat Delaware County, Pennsylvania, one drop box was placed every four square miles and for every 4,000 voters. In the 59 counties carried by Trump in 2016, there was one drop box for every 1,100 square miles and every 72,000 voters,” according to the report.
Zuckerberg’s funding further helped swing state Democrats in their quest to override election law through legally unfounded rule-making and voting programs. As the Amistad Project related, CTCL grants “allowed Philadelphia to ‘cure’ absentee ballots in a manner not provided for in Republican areas of the state.”
In October, Pennsylvania’s Trump-hating, Soros-backed secretary of state, Kathryn Boockvar, released guidance claiming that voters with rejected ballots could cast provisional ballots to effectively “cure” their vote. This practice has no reference in Pennsylvania's election code.
The U.S. Constitution reserves the right to determine “[t]he Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives” to state legislatures and Congress.
Nevertheless, the Department of State later instructed counties multiple times to inspect ballots before the election and to contact voters about flaws. Pennsylvania law allows “the inspection and opening of all envelopes containing official absentee ballots or mail-in ballots” — which the state classifies as “pre-canvassing” — “no earlier than seven o’clock A.M. on election day.”
Many Republican counties did not adopt these practices, recognizing them to be illegal. Four of the five counties with the most Democratic voters in the state did take up the guidance.
Boockvar and other top Democrats undermined other statutory election safeguards, like the mail-in ballot deadline and postmark requirement. Local officials broke the law in more basic ways, openly counting and certifying thousands of undated and unsigned ballots, returning void ballots back to voters, and possibly accepting ballots without secrecy envelopes.
In Michigan, Democratic state secretary Jocelyn Benson, another Soros beneficiary, sent out unsolicited ballot applications to all registered voters, though state law requires that absentee ballots be explicitly requested and distributed by clerks. The Michigan Constitution reaffirms the right of the state Legislature over election protocol and highly regulates opportunities for absentee voting.
Benson also created an online registration program, changing statutory signature requirements for applications. Millions of Michigan’s record-breaking, largely pro-Biden, 3.2 million absentee ballots might have been technically invalid as a result of the secretary’s unilateral initiatives.
Election officials in urban counties of neighboring Wisconsin likewise helped voters circumvent ballot safeguards, encouraging them to get around voter ID requirements by declaring themselves “indefinitely confined” due to COVID-19.
After state judges ruled against this strategy, the Wisconsin Election Commission (WEC) impeded clerks from removing suspect “indefinitely confined” ballot requests. Nearly 216,000 Wisconsin voters said they were indefinitely confined in the 2020 election, up 400% since 2016.
The WEC later declined to shut down early voting events hosted by the City of Madison in more than 200 parks weeks before the start of early in-person voting in Wisconsin. The events, called “Democracy in the Park,” were advertised by the Biden campaign.
The commission also refused to follow a court order demanding that they purge 234,000 voters flagged as having left the state and blocked qualified left-wing third-party candidates from getting on the ballot and pulling votes from Democrats.
Everywhere they could, Democrats used their power to taint or distort the 2020 election. Minnesota’s Democratic secretary of state unilaterally extended the deadline for mail-in ballots that was codified into law by the state Legislature. Majority-Democratic election boards changed the statutory ballot deadline in North Carolina and postmark requirements in Virginia.
Democrats sued the Republican secretary of state of Georgia to sign a decree purporting to overhaul signature requirements weeks before the primaries. Again in Pennsylvania, the Democratic governor’s administration tried to cover up evidence of illegal aliens voting ahead of the 2020 election.
In Nevada, an American Indian get-out-the-vote campaign called Native Vote Project sponsored raffles for voters, offering thousands of dollars in gift cards and other prizes. A pro-Biden activist appears to have organized the raffles, in one video offering prizes to voters who sent in pictures of their absentee ballots.
Similar programs took place in at least eight other states. The Trump campaign sued over this obvious vote-buying scheme, but a Nevada judge dismissed the case.
Democrats’ corruption ran even more rampant when they didn’t have to worry about competition. As Republican members the House Oversight committee revealed in December, former California secretary of state and newly appointed U.S. senator Alex Padilla awarded a seemingly illegal multi-million dollar contract to a Biden-linked firm last year.
“Earlier this year, Secretary Padilla awarded a $35 million no-bid contract to SKD Knickerbocker, Joe Biden’s main election campaign advisory firm,” the congressmen’s statement reads.
“Documents obtained by Oversight Republicans appear to show that the Secretary of State’s Office attempted to inappropriately fund the contract with federal Help America Vote Act money from the CARES Act to target specific voters and encourage voting, which is a violation of the law,” the press release states.
Elections in New York and New Jersey apparently weren’t much cleaner.
In state after state, Democrats put the lie to the claim that America had a “free and fair” election last year. Accordingly, for the first time in at least modern history, three-quarters of the opposition party remains convinced that the chief White House occupant isn’t really the president.
While Democrats and their allies may continue to blacklist Republicans, denigrate them with comparisons to Nazis and al-Qaeda, jeopardize their employment, purge them from social media, investigate them for their political beliefs, threaten to spy on them, and do whatever else they need to do to keep power, they won’t change reality. For Biden to be the president of the United States, he has to legally win an election first.
Ping
we should let powell and wood lead the charge on this front. it worked out so well for us the first time, and all.
What.. You saying they cheated.?? /s
Bump
The always win cause our STUPID PARTY lets them...by the way where the hell is our FAT BITCH RNC chairwoman Mcdaniels hiding? She’s probably still cowering under the bed eating her 31 favors cake! Bitch needs to be replaced...PRONTO.. useless POS!!
Later.
Beat them both down all you want. Not one of their cases was thrown out based on or lack of evidence. They were all thrown out because corrupt judges made up reasons for not hearing the cases, (lack of standing, latches, didn’t file a complaint before the fraud happened, etc.) If they ever got a fair hearing with a true trial, there isnt a jury in the world that would throw it out. Wisconsin is a slam dunk case and easily overturned with the evidence as just 1 state.
Can you explain what any of them could have done when court after court, including SCOTUS, refused to hear the cases?
This needs to be made into a documentary for future instruction. This whole chapter of our nation’s history will be eliminated from the text books. Hopefully someone like Rush can fund the effort. Needs to be forever remembered.
We need to save all of this because they are trying hard to invalidate it. They are trying to rewrite history.
2020 Election fraud summary
The answer to my question is “Nothing”. The poster that I was responding to would know that if they weren’t so frustrated. You can’t present a case and evidence if a court refuses to listen.
The question we must ask ourselves is, are we still on Facebook? A lot of people would have to say yes, because they have family there and can’t leave facebook. What about newspaper subscriptions? Is a newspaper being delivered to your driveway 1, 6 or 7 days a week? What about Twitter? How many people read McConell’s tweet? I didn’t but somebody had to. I think we are better off leaving the family to their facebook, not reading any newspaper, not being on Twitter, certainly cut back on the Amazon purchases.
I am much holier than thou. I don’t have Facebook, I don’t have Twitter, I don’t read and especially don’t subscribe the newspaper, any newspaper, I don’t have a cable package, I haven’t watched a professional sporting event of any kind since Collin Kapernick kneeled, and I haven’t bought anything from Amazon since Parler got punked.

What’s a constitution? What’s a “rule of law”?
what was done to stop the Dems control of the polling centers? no wonder pollworkers could even cheer a Republican observer being thrown out:
31 Oct: Deutsche Welle: Manning the polls: How the coronavirus has changed the face of US democracy
As the pandemic rages across the nation, the fate of an election many Americans call the most important in their lifetime could hinge on a new generation of polling station workers.
by Peter Rölle-Dahl
In 2016, it took nearly 1 million poll workers across the country to shoulder the burden on polling stations as some 138 million voters turned out in one of the most bitterly fought elections in a generation...
When the first wave of the virus swept through the presidential primaries, many polling stations were hit severely. In Milwaukee, the biggest city in the key battleground state Wisconsin, 175 of 180 polling sites were shuttered due to staffing shortages...
Fearing a similar scenario this time around, local election commissions and turn-out-the-vote initiatives have launched aggressive recruiting efforts, targeting a group usually disparaged for shunning polling stations rather than running towards them: those born after 1981, more commonly known as millennials and Zoomers...
This election season, Ciarra has also been working closely with ***POWER THE POLLS, a social media-focused recruitment initiative, launched in June in response to the poll worker crisis. In less than 100 days, the group has nearly tripled its original goal, recruiting more than ***700,000 new poll workers.
Assisted by similar big-name initiatives, such as NBA star LeBron James’ We Got Next which has received prominent backing from Barack and Michelle Obama, most polling stations now say they’re fully staffed, against all odds...

VIDEO: 6min: 2 Dec: Sky News Australia: US election was a ‘manual on the art of voter fraud’
Alan Jones Show
Mr Jones spoke of an article written by Kerry Wakefield in The Spectator magazine regarding the presidential election.
“Kerry makes some simple points,” Mr Jones said.
“In the election the early tallies appeared, the Biden blue wave did not happen … red tallies started to fill the map of America...
As Kerry Wakefield writes, panic set in – time for plan B.”
Ms Wakefield wrote, “suddenly voting stops for a few hours, Republican poll watchers are ejected from polling centres”, everyone was told voting was closed except for the Democrats who “secretly kept working”.
“By morning, Biden’s vote is rising throughout the mid-west, beating Trump in some states and closing quickly in others,” Mr Jones said.
“By Saturday the media has crowned basement Joe as President-elect.
“As Kerry writes, it is a veritable cascade of voter fraud, practically a manual on the art of it.”...

Thank you for your concise and succinct explanation of what actually happened. I appreciate it very much.
the machine stuff might have some merit but frankly it sounds kookville.
the thing that was fraud were the mail ins that were never verified as legit in these places.
