Schiff: Trump’s ‘Big Lie’ that He Won 2020 Was Main ‘Cause’ of Violence on January 6
Breitbart ^ | 01/02/2022 | Pam Key

Posted on 01/02/2022 9:59:22 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) declared Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that former President Donald Trump’s “big lie” that he lost the 2020 presidential election caused the violence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Was that also the cause of runaway inflation?

Maybe the cause of runaway gas prices?

Maybe the cause of leaving behind Americans as we tucked tail in Afghanistan?

Or is it why China is gearing up to invade Taiwan or Russia the Ukraine?

INTRODUCTION
We are in unchartered territory as a Nation. The November 2020 election was stolen. Our Country is divided in a manner not seen in over a century. Just last month, 56% of respondents agreed that “it’s likely that cheating affected the outcome of the 2020 presidential election”—a 5% increase since April 2021.1 The fault for this deepening divide lies directly with the federal and state public officials who not only abdicated their sworn duty to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, but in many cases actively sought to subvert it. The Justices of this Court can no longer ignore what the public already sees—a time in history like that which Churchill once characterized as the gathering storm.
Revelations of rampant lawlessness by officials in states like Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Pennsylvania (collectively, “Defendant States”) involving outcome-changing illegal votes appear daily. For example, in Pennsylvania, after all counties had finally uploaded their official November 2020 election results, there were still 49,171 more votes
That includes 84% of Republicans, 32% of Democrats, and 54% of Independents. Rasmussen Reports, Vote-By-Mail: Most Voters Think It Will Cause More Cheating (Oct. 11, 2021), https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/gene ral_politics/october_2021/vote_by_mail_most_voters_think_it_w ill_cause_more_cheating (last visited Nov. 23, 2021).

than voters—just one of many examples of illegal votes. Under express Pennsylvania law, the election should not have been certified.
This September, it was revealed that election officials in Maricopa County, Arizona were caught red-handed destroying election records from the November 2020 election—in violation of federal law— after a court rejected the County’s attempt to thwart the Arizona Senate’s investigation into the November 2020 election. That investigation also found tens of thousands of illegal ballots, and that there were hundreds of thousands of corrupted or missing ballot images—on which the November 2020 election vote count is based.
Also in September, a renowned cyber security expert, University of Michigan Professor J. Alex Halderman, revealed in a Georgia federal court that he had conclusively demonstrated that Dominion Voting Systems machines used in at least sixteen states can be easily hacked to “steal votes.” Inexplicably, the district court denied Prof. Halderman’s request to strategically unseal his expert report detailing these systemic vulnerabilities for the limited purpose of bringing it to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (“CISA”) to attempt to fix these issues before the next election. Prof. Halderman also testified that Georgia Secretary of State Raffensperger, a defendant in that case, refused to even look at the report or meet with him to go over these dangerous security vulnerabilities. The district court’s decision to bury Prof. Halderman’s evidence

and prevent it from being shared with authorities charged with protecting elections is unfathomable.
This October, the Racine County, Wisconsin, Sheriff announced the results of a felony criminal investigation of the Wisconsin Election Commission (“WEC”) into illegal vote harvesting in nursing homes. The Sheriff stated that the governing
in all 72 counties across Wisconsin and referred the case for prosecution. The validity of up to 50,000 ballots may
be at issue as a consequence.
Two issues regarding the November 2020 election are not in dispute. First, in the months leading up to the November 2020 election, a few non- legislative officials in the Defendant States used the COVID-19 pandemic as an excuse to unconstitutionally revise or violate their states’ election laws. Their actions had one effect: to uniformly weaken security measures put in place by state legislatures to protect the integrity of the vote. These changes squarely violated the Electors Clause of Article II, Section 1, Clause 2 vesting state legislatures with plenary authority to make election law. These government officials then flooded the Defendant States with millions of illegal ballots to be sent through the mails, or placed in drop boxes, with little or no chain of custody as required by law.2
See, e.g., Tiffany Morgan, Five Months After 2020 Election, Georgia Still Has Not Produced Chain of Custody Records for 355,000 Absentee Vote by Mail Ballots Deposited in Drop Boxes, THE GEORGIA STAR NEWS, Apr. 8, 2021, available at https://georgiastarnews.com/2021/04/08/five-months-after-2020- election-georgia-still-has-not-produced-chain-of-custody-
“election statute
was in fact not just broken but shattered”

Second, the United States’ failure to challenge the Defendant States’ violations of Article II, including at a time when four of eight justices had evenly split on whether to hear such violations in October 2020, violated the Take Care Clause and the Guarantee Clause of the Constitution commanding that the Executive “shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed” and that “the United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government.” A stolen election, as the November 2020 election was, neither faithfully executes the law nor provides a republican form of government.
Since Marbury v. Madison this Court has, on significant occasions, had to step into the breach in a time of tumult, declare what the law is, and right the ship. This is just such an occasion. In fact, it is situations precisely like the present—when the Constitution has been cast aside unchecked—that leads us to the current precipice. In times such as this, it is the duty of the Court to be a “faithful guardian[] of the Constitution.” THE FEDERALIST NO. 78, at 470 (C. Rossiter, ed. 1961) (A. Hamilton).
Against that background, the State of [insert Your State] (“Plaintiff State”) brings this action based on the following allegations:
NATURE OF THE ACTION
1. Plaintiff State challenges the Defendant States’ administration of the 2020 election under the
records-for-355000-absentee-vote-by-mail-ballots-deposited-in- drop-boxes/ (last visited Nov. 23, 2021).

5
Electors Clause of Article II, Section 1, Clause 2, and the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, and their obstruction of audits and investigations into their actions in attempt to cover up their participation in stealing the November 2020 election. which injured Plaintiff State.
2. Plaintiff State further challenges United States and five federal officers3 for violating both the Guarantee Clause and Take Care Clause of Article IV, Section 4 and Article II, Section 3 of the United States Constitution, respectively, by failing to remedy the Electors Clause violations which destroyed the integrity of the Peoples’ vote in the November 2020 election.
3. This case presents two core questions of law:
(i)
(ii)
The five officers are the President of the United States, Vice- President of the United States, Attorney General of the United States, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, President Pro Tempore of the United States Senate (collectively, the “Officer Defendants”).
Did Defendant States violate the Electors Clause or the Due Process
Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment by taking—or by allowing—non-legislative actions to change the election rules that would govern the November 2020
election?
Did the federal defendants violate the Guarantee Clause or Take Care Clause by failing to pursue claims against the Defendant States for their constitutional

4. By purporting to waive or otherwise modify the existing state law in a manner that was wholly ultra vires and not adopted by each state’s legislature, Defendant States violated not only the Electors Clause, U.S. CONST. art. II, § 1, cl. 2, but also the Elections Clause, id. art. I, § 4 (to the extent that the Article I Elections Clause textually applies to the Article II process of selecting presidential electors).
5.
6. Each of Defendant States acted in a common pattern. State officials, sometimes through pending litigation (e.g., settling “friendly” suits) and sometimes unilaterally by executive fiat, announced new rules for the conduct of the 2020 election that were inconsistent with existing state statutes defining what constitutes a lawful vote—and uniformly made it easier for illegal or fraudulent mail-in ballots to be cast.
7. Millions of unconstitutional and illegal mail-in ballots flooded the election systems across the Country that resulted in an election in November 2020 that was not “one person one vote” as required by the Constitution.
violations described above or by ignoring evidence of outcome-changing illegal votes in the Defendant States and worse
by impeding investigations of illegal or fraudulent votes in at least one
Defendant State?
Plaintiff State alleges that the United
States flagrantly violated the Guarantee Clause and Take Care Clause permitting the November 2020
stolen election to stand.

8.
7
Further, officials in the Defendant
States have since affirmatively impeded investigations and audits of the November 2020
election—in some instances in destroying election records—to conceal evidence demonstrating the illegal votes and fraud in the November 2020 election. Similarly, the federal Department of Justice has attempted to impede efforts to investigate election fraud, including threatening to investigate the Arizona State Senate for investigating election
irregularities in Maricopa County.4
9. In addition, on January 7, 2021, the Director of National Intelligence (“DNI”) concluded in an unclassified memorandum that “CIA Management took actions ‘pressuring [analysts] to withdraw their support” for findings regarding China’s actions to “interfere” in the election. Memo., John Ratcliffe, Director of National Intelligence, Views on Intelligence Community Election Security Analysis, at 2 (Jan. 7, 2021) (Tab 1). The DNI concluded that the CIA’s actions violated Intelligence Community Tradecraft Standards. Id.
10. The unconstitutional acts and proof of a stolen election through illegal and fraudulent ballots is also demonstrated by new evidence arising since December 11, 2020, that the number of ballots cast in violation of the Electors Clause and Due Process Clause in Defendant States exceeds the reported
See Letter from Pamela S. Karlan, Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General, Civil Rights Division, to Arizona Sen. Karen Fann (May 5, 2021) (Tab 2).

margin separating the candidates and thus the validity of the presidential electors from those States.
11. The number of votes called into question by these constitutional violations greatly exceeds the difference between the vote totals of the two candidates for President of the United States in each Defendant State.
12. In addition to injunctive relief sought for the November 2020 election, Plaintiff State seeks declaratory relief for all federal elections in the future. This problem is clearly capable of repetition yet evading review. The integrity of our constitutional democracy requires that states conduct presidential elections in accordance with the rule of law and federal constitutional guarantees.
JURISDICTION AND VENUE
13. This action is within this Court’s original jurisdiction under three distinct bases: (a)as a “controvers[y] between two or more States” with respect to Plaintiff State and Defendant States, 28 U.S.C. § 1251(a); U.S. CONST. art III, § 2, (b) as a “controvers[y] between the United States and a State” with respect to Plaintiff State and the United States, 28 U.S.C. § 1251(b)(2); U.S. CONST. art III, § 2, and (c) as an “action[] ... by a State against the citizens of another State” with respect to Plaintiff State and the federal Officer Defendants. 28 U.S.C. § 1251(b)(3); U.S. CONST. art III, § 2; South Carolina v. Katzenbach, 383 U.S. 301, 307 (1966).

9
Plaintiff State raises an Article III case or controversy.
14. In a presidential election, “the impact of the votes cast in each State is affected by the votes cast for the various candidates in other States.” Anderson v. Celebrezze, 460 U.S. 780, 795 (1983). The constitutional failures of the United States and the Defendant States injured the Plaintiff State by subverting the electoral process and disillusioning voters from the inherently dishonest process of federal elections controlled by non-legislative actors.
15. This Court’s Article III decisions limit the ability of citizens to press claims under the Electors Clause. Lance v. Coffman, 549 U.S. 437, 442 (2007) (distinguishing citizen plaintiffs from citizen relators who sued in the name of a state); cf. Massachusetts v. EPA, 549 U.S. 497, 520 (2007) (courts owe states “special solicitude in standing analysis”). The Constitution is a compact among the States, and the Defendant States’ breach of the terms of that compact injures the other states.
16. Because the Defendant States represent a dispositive number of electoral votes, this Court can redress Plaintiff State’s injuries by vacating the certification of Defendant States’ presidential electors and the vote of the Electoral College as certified by the Joint Session of Congress. Because redressability likely would undermine a suit against a single state officer or State because no single State’s electoral votes would change the election outcome, this action against the United States and multiple State defendants is the only action that can redress Plaintiff State’s injury.

10
17. Under the circumstances presented, Plaintiff State has the right under the Twelfth Amendment to participate in an election of the President and Vice President in the House and Senate, respectively, U.S. CONST. art. XII, which the defendants’ unlawful actions denied Plaintiff State and which this Court can redress by ordering that that election take place.
18. The States enjoy a right of suffrage in the Senate, U.S. CONST. art. V, and Vice-President casts the tie-breaking vote in the Senate. U.S. CONST. art. II, § 3, cl. 4. As of the certification of two Georgia run- off elections in January of 2021, the Senate is evenly divided, and the election of the Vice-President will determine which party—that of Plaintiff State’s two senators or that of the opposition party—will have the majority in the Senate. The constitutional violations alleged herein denied Plaintiff State’s senators the advantage of majority status in the Senate.
Sovereign immunity does not bar this action.
19. Defendant United States has waived its sovereign immunity for actions against the Attorney General, 5 U.S.C. § 702, and sovereign immunity does not protect the Officer Defendants from suits against unconstitutional action and inaction. Franklin v. Massachusetts, 505 U.S. 788, 800-01 (1992) (citing Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer, 343 U.S. 579 (1952)). “No separate waiver of sovereign immunity is required to seek a writ of mandamus to compel an official to perform a duty required in his official capacity.” Fornaro v. James, 416 F.3d 63, 69 (D.C. Cir. 2005) (Roberts, J.); cf. 28 U.S.C. § 1361.

11
Plaintiff State lacks an alternate remedy for this action.
20. Individual state courts or U.S. district courts do not—and under the circumstance of contested elections in multiple states, cannot—offer an adequate remedy to resolve election disputes within the timeframe set by the Constitution to resolve such disputes and to appoint a President via the electoral college. No court—other than this Court—can redress constitutional injuries spanning multiple States with the sufficient number of states joined as defendants or respondents to alter the result in the Electoral College.
21. This Court is the sole judicial forum in which to exercise the jurisdictional basis for this action.
22. The political branches do not provide an adequate forum which to resolve the claims against the Officer Defendants or the United States because the Officer Defendants control the executive and legislative branches of the United States government.
This action is timely.
23. In the absence of a directly applicable statute of limitations, actions against the United States must be brought within six years of the action’s arising, 28 U.S.C. § 2401(a), and the limitation set by the equitable doctrine of laches cannot be less than the statute of limitations. SCA Hygiene Prods. Aktiebolag v. First Quality Baby Prods., LLC, 137 S.Ct. 954, 960 (2017). In any event, Plaintiff State has brought this action promptly after the development of

12
new evidence that was previously unavailable. For these reasons, this action is timely.
PARTIES
24. Plaintiff is the State of [insert Your State], which is a sovereign State of the United States.
25. Defendants are the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the States of Georgia, Michigan, Arizona, and Wisconsin, which are sovereign States of the United States.
26. Defendant United States is the federal sovereign.
27. Defendants President of the United States, Vice- President of the United States, Attorney General of the United States, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, President Pro Tempore of the United States Senate (collectively, the “Officer Defendants”) are officers of the United States sued in their official capacities and named by the office they hold. See S. Ct. Rule 35.4. The current officers—Joseph R. Biden, Jr., Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelosi, Patrick Leahy, and Merrick Garland—are citizens of Delaware, California, California, Vermont, and Maryland, respectively.
LEGAL BACKGROUND
28. Under the Supremacy Clause, the “Con- stitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof ... shall be the supreme law of the land.” U.S. CONST. Art. VI, cl. 2.
29. “The individual citizen has no federal constitutional right to vote for electors for the President of the United States unless and until the

13
state legislature chooses a statewide election as the means to implement its power to appoint members of the electoral college.” Bush v. Gore, 531 U.S. 98, 104 (2000) (citing U.S. CONST. art. II, § 1) (“Bush II”).
30. State legislatures have plenary power to set the process for appointing presidential electors: “Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors.” U.S. CONST. art. II, §1, cl. 2; see also Bush II, 531 U.S. at 104 (“[T]he state legislature’s power to select the manner for appointing electors is plenary.” (emphasis added)).
31. At the time of the Founding, most States did not appoint electors through popular statewide elections. In the first presidential election, six of the ten States that appointed electors did so by direct legislative appointment. McPherson v. Blacker, 146 U.S. 1, 29-30 (1892).
32. In the second presidential election, nine of the fifteen States that appointed electors did so by direct legislative appointment. Id. at 30.
33. In the third presidential election, nine of sixteen States that appointed electors did so by direct legislative appointment. Id. at 31. This practice persisted in lesser degrees through the Election of 1860. Id. at 32.
34. Though “[h]istory has now favored the voter,” Bush II, 531 U.S. at 104, “there is no doubt of the right of the legislature to resume the power [of appointing presidential electors] at any time, for it can neither be taken away nor abdicated.” McPherson, 146 U.S. at 35 (emphasis added); cf. 3 U.S.C. § 2 (“Whenever any State has held an election for the

14
purpose of choosing electors, and has failed to make a choice on the day prescribed by law, the electors may be appointed on a subsequent day in such a manner as the legislature of such State may direct.”).
35. This Court has stated that “[m]ore recently, the Court has suggested that perhaps not all claims under the Guarantee Clause present nonjusticiable political questions.” New York v. United States, 505 U.S. 144, 185 (1992). The acts of non- legislative officials in the Defendant States abrogating state election law indisputably “pose . . . realistic risk of altering the form or the method of functioning of [their States’] governments.” Id. at 186. In fact, the Article II violations go to the very heart of a Republican form of government.
36. As Justice Thomas stated in his dissent in United States Term Limits v. Thorton, 514 U.S. 779 (1995):
Our system of government rests on one overriding principle: All power stems from the consent of the people. To phrase the principle in this way, however, is to be imprecise about something important to the notion of ‘reserved’ powers. The ultimate source of the Constitution’s authority is the consent of the people of each individual State, not the consent of the undifferentiated people of the Nation as a whole.
Id. at 846 (Thomas, J., dissenting, with the Chief Justice and Justices O’Connor and Scalia joining).
37. The Constitution is a voluntary compact among the people of the States. When the Defendant

15
States disregarded the Constitution in a manner as fundamental to our republican form of government as is Article II here, the United States is required to under Article IV to step in and enforce the Constitution against such unlawful acts.
38. Independently, a government implemented through a stolen election is not a republican form of government. The failure of the United States to prevent the electoral manipulations by the Defendant States (and other States), also violated Article IV because that failure “risk[s] . . . altering the form or the method of functioning of [all States’] governments.” New York v. United States, 505 U.S. at 185; see also Erwin Chemerinsky, Cases Under the Guarantee Clause Should Be Justiciable, 65 COLO. L. REV. 849, 868 (1994) (“[T]he key features of a republican form of government are a right to vote and a right of political participation.”).
39. Given the State legislatures’ constitutional primacy in selecting presidential electors, the ability to set rules governing the casting of ballots and counting of votes cannot be usurped by other branches of state government.
40. Defendant States’ applicable laws are set out under the facts for each Defendant State.
FACTS
41. In December 2018, the Caltech/MIT Voting Technology Project and MIT Election Data & Science Lab issued a comprehensive report

16
addressing election integrity issues.5 The fundamental question they sought to address was: “How do we know that the election outcomes announced by election officials are correct?”
42. The Caltech/MIT Report concluded: “Ultimately, the only way to answer a question like this is to rely on procedures that independently review the outcomes of elections, to detect and correct material mistakes that are discovered. In other words, elections need to be audited.” Id. at iii. The Caltech/MIT Report then set forth a detailed analysis of why and how such audits should be done for the same reasons that exist today—a lack of trust in our voting systems.
43. The constitutional violations committed by Defendant States and the federal defendants directly affected the outcome of the Electoral College vote. Those violations proximately caused the appointment of presidential electors for Mr. Biden and the improper certification of his election.
The uncontrolled use of mail-in ballots in 2020 made widespread election fraud inevitable.
44. The use of absentee and mail-in ballots skyrocketed in 2020, not only as a purported public- health response to the COVID-19 pandemic but also at the urging of mail-in voting’s proponents, and most especially executive branch officials in Defendant States. According to the Pew Research Center,

45. In the wake of the contested 2000 election, the bipartisan Jimmy Carter-James Baker commission identified absentee ballots as “the largest source of potential voter fraud.” BUILDING CONFIDENCE IN U.S. ELECTIONS: REPORT OF THE COMMISSION ON FEDERAL ELECTION REFORM, at 46 (Sept. 2005).
46. Concern over the use of mail-in ballots is not novel to the modern era, Dustin Waters, Mail-in Ballots Were Part of a Plot to Deny Lincoln Reelection in 1864, WASH. POST (Aug. 22, 2020),6 and it remained a concern leading up to the November 2020 election. Crawford v. Marion Cty.

47. Absentee and mail-in voting are the primary opportunities for unlawful ballots to be cast in scale. As a result of the explosion in absentee and mail-in voting in Defendant States, combined with Defendant States’ unconstitutional modification of

18
statutory protections designed to ensure election integrity, Defendant States created a massive opportunity for fraud. In addition, Defendant States made it difficult or impossible to separate the constitutionally tainted mail-in ballots from valid mail-in ballots.
48. Rather than augment safeguards against illegal voting in anticipation of the millions of additional mail-in ballots flooding into their States, Defendant States all materially weakened, or did away with, security measures, such as witness or signature verification procedures, and prohibitions on unmanned ballot drop boxes, required by their respective legislatures. Their legislatures established those commonsense safeguards to prevent—or at least reduce—fraudulent mail-in ballots.
49. Significantly, in Defendant States, Democrat voters voted by mail at two to three times the rate of Republicans. Mr. Biden thus greatly benefited from this unconstitutional usurpation of legislative authority, and the weakening of legislatively mandated ballot security measures.
Electronic voting systems are inherently vulnerable to hacking and manipulation.
50. In addition to the unconstitutional acts associated with mail-in and absentee voting, there are grave issues surrounding the vulnerability of electronic voting machines—such as the electronic voting systems provided by Dominion Voting Systems, Inc. (“Dominion”) and Election Systems & Software (“ES&S”)—that were in use in all of the Defendant

19
States (and other states as well) during the November 2020 election.
51. In 2017, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) designated election infrastructure as critical infrastructure pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 5195c. See Curling v. Kemp, 334 F. Supp. 3d 1303, 1311 (N.D. Ga. 2018). The United States thus formally articulated its duty to protect the Nation’s election systems.
52. On November 12, 2020, after the November 2020 election, members of Elections Infrastructure Government Coordinating Council & The Election Infrastructure Sector Coordinating Executive Committees issued a joint statement declaring that
53. In an ironic twist, four weeks later, on December 13, 2020, the U.S. Government announced the largest cyberattack in the Country’s history affecting more than 18,000 public and private organizations—including at least one voting machine company.
54. As Plaintiff’s expert, Col. John Mills (USAR Ret.), a former Director of Cybersecurity Policy, Strategy, and International Affairs, Office of the Secretary of Defense, Senior Civilian possessing almost 40 years of experience in the planning and use of U.S. cybersecurity-related instruments of national power testifies:

critical infrastructure worldwide—including election systems. This same capability now exists in other countries, such as China, Russian, Iran, and Venezuela, and these foreign powers now use these same, similar, and improved remote access operation methodologies at will to assert their own national agendas.
• These operations have created a growing talent base of personnel, software, and network- enabled, remote-access capabilities that are becoming ubiquitous in the hands of companies and personnel outside of the U.S. Government.

Declaration of Col. John R. Mills, ¶¶ 9 -14 (USAR Ret.) (Tab 4).
55. Further highlighting the extreme risk of manipulation of our electronic voting systems is the public testimony of renowned cyber security expert, University of Michigan Professor J. Alex Halderman. On June 21, 2017, he testified to the United States Senate Intelligence Committee on how easy it is to hack electronic voting systems to change the outcome of a national election.
56. The following statement by Professor Halderman at this hearing is startling:
Statements that the November 2020 election was “the most secure in American history”
asserted in a November 12, 2020, posted on the CISA website, had little, if any, basis in fact.

21
My conclusion from that work is that our highly computerized election infrastructure is vulnerable to sabotage and even to cyber attacks that could change votes. These realities risk making our election results more difficult for the American people to trust. ... I know America’s voting machines are vulnerable because my colleagues and I have hacked them repeatedly as part of a decade of research studying the technology that operates elections and learning how to make it stronger. We’ve created attacks that can spread from machine to machine, like a computer virus, and silently change election outcomes. ... This puts the entire Nation at risk. In close elections, an attacker can probe the most important swing states or swing counties, find areas with the weakest protection, and strike there. In a close election year, changing a

22
few votes in key localities could be enough to tip national results.

57. On September 21, 2021 Prof. Halderman filed a declaration in Curling v. Raffensperger, No. 1:17-cv-2989-AT (N.D. Ga.), requesting that the district court unseal his July 1, 2021 25,000-word expert report (the “Report”) stating under the penalty of perjury, that the hacking/malware threat to Dominion voting machines used in 16 states is so “urgent” that his Report must be released to CISA to try to fix these issues, and that CISA has acknowledged that it is prepared to do so.8
58. Prof. Halderman testified that “These are not general weaknesses or theoretical problems but rather specific flaws in [Dominion’s] ICX software and I am prepared to demonstrate proof-of-concept malware that can exploit them to steal votes.” Id.
59. Prof. Halderman also testified that: “Informing responsible parties about the [Dominion] ICX’s vulnerabilities is becoming more urgent by the day. Foreign or domestic adversaries who are intent

discovered the same problems I did.” Id.
60. Prof. Halderman testified that Georgia Secretary of State Raffensperger is refusing to address these issues and, along with the other defendant Georgia county election officials, has objected to disclosing his Report just to CISA leaving Prof. Halderman to state that “continuing to conceal [these] problems . . . serves no one and only hurts voters.” Id. (emphasis added).
The State of Arizona’s electoral votes were unlawfully certified and counted.
61. Arizona has 11 electoral votes, with a state-wide vote tally 1,661,686 for Mr. Trump and 1,672,143 for Mr. Biden, a margin of 10,457 votes.
62. The number of illegal votes and votes affected by the various constitutional violations far exceeds the margin of votes separating the candidates.
1. Arizona’s election violated the Electors’ Clause.
63. Since 1990, Arizona law has required that residents wishing to participate in an election submit their voter registration materials no later than 29 days prior to election day in order to vote in that election. Ariz. Rev. Stat. § 16-120(A). For 2020, that deadline was October 5.
64. Such deadlines are permissible: “State is certainly justified in imposing some reasonable cutoff point for registration ... which citizens must meet in

24
order to participate in the next election.” Rosario v.
Rockefeller, 410 U.S. 752, 760 (1973).
65. In Mi Familia Vota v. Hobbs, 492 F. Supp. 3d 980 (D. Ariz. 2020), however, a federal district court violated the Electors Clause and enjoined that law, extending the registration deadline to October 23, 2020. The Ninth Circuit stayed that order on October 13, 2020, with a two-day grace period, Mi Familia Vota v. Hobbs, 977 F.3d 948, 955 (9th Cir. 2020).
66. Nonetheless, the Ninth Circuit did not apply the stay retroactively because neither the Arizona Secretary of State nor the Arizona Attorney General requested retroactive relief. Id. at 954-55. As a net result, the deadline was unconstitutionally extended from the statutory deadline of October 5 to October 15, 2021, thereby allowing more than 52,000 registrations in violation of Arizona law.

72. The Arizona Senate engaged systems and cybersecurity firms to audit the election materials produced by the County using forensic methods that exceed the type of hand recount typically conducted in close elections. Unlike a forensic audit, a recount would not detect fraud in the same way that recounting the money in a cash register would not detect whether a business had been passed counterfeit currency.
73. On September 24, 2021, the forensic auditors presented their reports to the Arizona State Senate in both written form and testimony.
74. The forensic auditors found numerous anomalies and outcome-determinative discrepancies with the Maricopa County election materials made available to them, including:
• 255,326 ballots included in the “final voted file” (the “VM55” file) as having voted early that were not included in the “early voting returns file” (the “EV33” file), when the EV33 file should have an entry for each early vote cast (whether by mail or in person) with the details as to when and how that vote was cast;
• 23,344 mail-in ballots cast when the registered voter had moved and where no one with the same surname remained at the address;
• 5,295 instances of multiple ballots from the same person;

27
• 3,432 more votes in the official results than in the final-voted (“VM55”) file;
• 2,592 more duplicate ballots than ballots sent for duplication;
• 1,528 voters who had moved to another state;
• 618 votes by persons not on the official precinct
register 10 days prior to election;
• 397 mail-in ballots returned without any record of a ballot having been sent to the voter;
• 282 registered voters who died before October 5, 2020, and nonetheless voted;
• 198 votes by persons who registered after the cut-off date for registering to vote in the 2020 election.
Cyber Ninjas, Maricopa County Forensic Election Audit, vol. III, at 6, 51, 10, 12-14, 20-21, 25-26, 29-30, 34-36 (Sept. 24, 2021) (Tab 20).
75. Although Maricopa County withholding the router, Splunk, and NetFlow data prevented an audit of all internet connections with the Maricopa County election system, the audit network auditors did find evidence of internet activity in unallocated space—i.e., portions of deleted files—on the Maricopa County election systems dated after the installation of the Dominion voting software suite on August 6, 2020. This finding proves that Maricopa County’s claim that its election systems were not connected to the internet is false.
76. The forensic auditors were unable to determine whether votes or results had been electronically altered from the materials initially provided because Maricopa County officials withheld

28
or overwrote equipment and data that would allow forensic auditors to determine whether intrusions had—or had not—occurred and, if so, from where those intrusions came.
77. In addition, A. V. Shiva Ayyadurai, Ph.D., analyzed signatures from the images of early- voting ballot envelopes that Maricopa County provided to the Arizona Senate. His findings included the following anomalies and outcome-determinative discrepancies from an analysis of the signature regions of the 1,929,240 early-voting ballot (“EVB”) return envelope images provided:
• 17,322 duplicate mail-in voting early ballots by 17,126 voters who voted twice (16,934 voters), thrice (188 voters), or four times (4 voters);
• 9,589 fewer EVB return envelopes identified as even having a signature than Maricopa County submitted for signature verification;
• A 59.7% decrease in the number of EVB return envelopes rejected as having a signature mismatch versus the 2016 election, notwithstanding that the number of EVB return envelopes increased 52.6% from 2016 to 2020;
• 6,545 fewer EVB return envelope images made available than reported by Maricopa County’s canvass report on the 2020 general election;
• 2,580 “scribbles” in the signature region— which would indicate a “bad signature” if a review were commissioned to analyze signatures—when Maricopa County reported having rejected only 587 “bad signature” EVB

29
return envelopes in its canvass report on the 2020 general election;
• 464 more “no signature” EVB return envelopes—a total of 1,919—when Maricopa County reported having rejected only 1,455 “no signature” EVB return envelopes in its canvass report on the 2020 general election.

78. Based on his review of signature region on the EVB return envelopes, Dr. Shiva concluded that a full audit (e.g., comparing the signature on EVB return envelope images with voters’ signatures from voter registration files) of the Maricopa signature- verification process is needed.
The State of Georgia’s electoral votes were unlawfully certified and counted.
79. Georgia has 16 electoral votes, with a statewide vote tally of 2,461,854 for Mr. Trump and 2,473,633 for Mr. Biden, a margin of approximately 11,779 votes.
80. The number of illegal votes and votes affected by the various constitutional violations far exceeds the margin of votes separating the candidates.

30
1. The violations of Article II in Georgia resulted in outcome-determinative numbers of unlawful votes.
81.
Rule 183-1-14-0.8-.14 Secure Absentee Ballot Drop Boxes.
82.
In July 2020, Georgia Secretary of State
Raffensperger and the Georgia State Election Board, without legislative approval as required under Georgia’s Constitution, authorized the use of 300
absentee ballot drop
boxes
beginning 49 days before
the November 2020 election.
Under this Rule, each of Georgia’s 159
counties is responsible for documenting the transfer of every batch of absentee ballots picked up at drop boxes and delivered to the county election offices with ballot transfer forms. The forms are required to be signed and dated, with time of pick up by the collection team upon pick up, and then signed, dated, with time of delivery by the registrar or designee upon
receipt and accepted.
83. As of April 2021,
.
84. In addition, Georgia’s Secretary of State,
Brad Raffensperger, without legislative approval, unilaterally abrogated Georgia’s statutes governing the date a ballot may be opened, and the signature verification process for absentee ballots.
85. O.C.G.A. § 21-2-386(a)(2) prohibits the opening of absentee ballots until after the polls open on Election Day. In April 2020, however, the State Election Board adopted Secretary of State Rule 183-1-

county level in Georgia have failed to produce chain of custody records for more than 355,000 absentee vote by mail ballots deposited in drop boxes located around
the state for that election

31
14-0.9-.15, Processing Ballots Prior to Election Day. That rule purports to authorize county election officials to begin processing absentee ballots up to three weeks before Election Day. Outside parties were then given early and illegal access to purportedly defective ballots to “cure” them in violation of O.C.G.A. §§ 21-2-386(a)(1)(C), 21-2-419(c)(2).
86. Specifically, Georgia law authorizes and requires a single registrar or clerk—after reviewing the outer envelope—to reject an absentee ballot if: the voter failed to sign the required oath or to provide the required information; the signature appears invalid or the required information does not conform with the information on file; or if the voter is otherwise found ineligible to vote. O.C.G.A. § 21-2-386(a)(1)(B)-(C).
87. Georgia law provides absentee voters the chance to “cure a failure to sign the oath, an invalid signature, or missing information” on a ballot’s outer envelope by the deadline for verifying provisional ballots (i.e., three days after the election). O.C.G.A. §§ 21-2-386(a)(1)(C), 21-2-419(c)(2). To facilitate cures, Georgia law requires the relevant election official to notify the voter in writing: “The board of registrars or absentee ballot clerk shall promptly notify the elector of such rejection, a copy of which notification shall be retained in the files of the board of registrars or absentee ballot clerk for at least two years.” O.C.G.A. § 21-2-386(a)(1)(B).
88. There were 284,817 early ballots corrected and accepted in Georgia out of 4,018,064 early ballots used to vote in Georgia. Mr. Biden received nearly twice the number of mail-in votes as

32
Mr. Trump and thus materially benefited from this unconstitutional change in Georgia’s election laws.
89. In addition, on March 6, 2020, in Democratic Party of Georgia v. Raffensperger, No. 1:19-cv-5028-WMR (N.D. Ga.), Georgia’s Secretary of State, a non-legislative actor, entered a Compromise Settlement Agreement and Release with the Democratic Party of Georgia (the “Settlement”) to materially change the legislature’s statutory requirements for reviewing signatures on absentee ballot envelopes to confirm the voter’s identity by making it far more difficult to challenge defective signatures beyond the express mandatory procedures set forth at GA. CODE § 21-2-386(a)(1)(B).
90. Among other things, before a ballot could be rejected, the Settlement required a registrar who found a defective signature to now seek a review by two other registrars, and only if a majority of the registrars agreed that the signature was defective could the ballot be rejected but not before all three registrars’ names were written on the ballot envelope along with the reason for the rejection. These cumbersome procedures are in direct conflict with Georgia’s statutory requirements, as is the Settlement’s requirement that notice be provided by telephone (i.e., not in writing) if a telephone number is available. Finally, the Settlement purports to require State election officials to consider issuing guidance and training materials drafted by an expert retained by the Democratic Party of Georgia.
91. Georgia’s legislature has not ratified these material purported changes to statutory law mandated by the Compromise Settlement Agreement

33
and Release, including altered signature verification requirements and early opening of ballots. The relevant legislation that was violated by the Compromise Settlement Agreement and Release did not include a severability clause.
92. This unconstitutional purported change in Georgia law materially benefitted Mr. Biden.
93. The effect of this unconstitutional change in Georgia election law, which made it more likely that ballots without matching signatures would be counted, had a material impact on the outcome of the election.
94. Specifically, there were 1,305,659 absentee mail-in ballots submitted in Georgia in 2020. There were 4,786 absentee ballots rejected in 2020. This is a rejection rate of .37%. In contrast, in 2016, the 2016 rejection rate was 6.42% with 13,677 absentee mail-in ballots being rejected out of 213,033 submitted, which is more than seventeen times greater than in 2020.
95. If the rejection rate of mailed-in absentee ballots remained the same in 2020 as it was in 2016, there would be 83,517 fewer tabulated ballots in 2020. The statewide split of absentee ballots was 34.68% for Trump and 65.2% for Biden. Rejecting at the higher 2016 rate with the 2020 split between Trump and Biden would decrease Trump votes by 28,965 and Biden votes by 54,552, which would be a net gain for Trump of 25,587 votes. This would be more than needed to overcome the Biden advantage of 11,779
According to the Georgia Secretary of State’s office, Mr. Biden had almost double the number of absentee
votes (65.32%) as Mr. Trump (34.68%).

34
votes. Regardless of the number of ballots affected, however, the non-legislative changes to the election rules violated the Electors Clause.
2. Georgia’s use of electronic voting machines opened the door to electronic manipulation of the vote.
96. In addition, Georgia uses Dominion’s electronic voting machines throughout the State. Less than a month before the election, the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia ruled on a motion brought by a citizen advocate group and others seeking a preliminary injunction to stop Georgia from using Dominion’s voting systems due to their known vulnerabilities to hacking and other irregularities. See Curling v. Raffensperger, 493 F. Supp. 3d 1264 (N.D. Ga. 2020) (“Curling”).
97. Though the district court found that it was bound by Eleventh Circuit law to deny plaintiffs’ motion, it issued a prophetic warning stating:
The Court’s Order has delved deep into the true risks posed by the new BMD voting system as well as its manner of implementation. These risks are neither hypothetical nor remote under the current circumstances. The insularity of the Defendants’ and Dominion’s stance here in evaluation and management of the security and vulnerability of the BMD system does not benefit the public or citizens’ confident exercise of the franchise. The stealth vote alteration or operational interference risks posed by

35
malware that can be effectively invisible to detection, whether intentionally seeded or not, are high once implanted, if equipment and software systems are not properly protected, implemented, and audited.
493 F. Supp. 3d at 1341 (emphasis added).
98. In a November 4, 2020, video interview, Fulton County, Georgia Director of Elections, Richard Barron, stated that the tallied vote of over 93% of ballots were based on a “review [panel’s]” determination of the voter’s “intent”—not what the voter actually voted. Specifically, he stated that “so far we’ve scanned 113,130 ballots, we’ve adjudicated over 106,000. . . . The only ballots that are adjudicated are if we have a ballot with a contest on it in which there’s some question as to how the computer reads it so that the vote review panel then determines voter intent.”10 There is no way to know whether that vast number of ballots were accurately adjudicated in that short period of time to reflect the true vote.
99. This astounding figure demonstrates how easy it is for election officials to use electronic voting systems to modify votes on a massive scale with no oversight. These figures, in and of themselves in this one sample, far exceeds the margin of votes separating the two candidates in Georgia.
100. On November 9, 2021, a voting rights group, VoterGA, announced that 56 Georgia counties admitted that most or all of the images created

36
automatically by the Dominion voting system for results tabulation have been destroyed, and that a total of 74 Georgia counties have been unable to produce all the original ballot images from the November 2020 election.
101. For example, VoterGA sent an open records act request to Fulton County for an “[e]lectronic Copy of all original Election Day ballot
images for the November 3rd, 2020 election.” The County responded:
I recall our conversation and I appreciate you emailing me your requests. I can confirm that the County maintains no records which are responsive to your request. The answer is the same for both the request contained in this email as well as the email you just sent seeking “Electronic Copy of the approximately 315,000 original In-Person Advance Voting ballot images for the November 3rd, 2020 election”. The County maintains nothing responsive.11
102. Thus, Fulton County apparently destroyed over 350,000 ballot images—the only records which can show the authenticity of the ballot cast such as through the proof of date and time when cast based on metadata contained on the images. Paper ballots have no such evidence that proves their authenticity.

retention period for such records, and O.C.G.A. § 21- 2-73 which requires a 24-month retention period for such records.
104. In addition, Fulton County is also missing 17,690 mail-in ballots, which alone far exceeds Biden’s margin of victory in Georgia.
105. The response to VoterGA’s open records act request included written confirmation from Chris Harvey, then-Georgia Election Director, granting permission to erase in-person ballot images from the memory cards.12 The destruction of these election records violated 52 USC § 20701, and O.C.G.A. § 21- 2-73 as described, supra.
3. The Georgia Senate Election Law Study Subcommittee found numerous outcome determinative numbers of unlawful votes and concluded the election results “must be viewed as untrustworthy.”
106. On December 17, 2020, Georgia State Senator William Ligon—the Chairman of the Election Law Study Subcommittee of the Georgia Standing Senate Judiciary Committee—issued a detailed report discussing a myriad of voting irregularities and potential fraud in the Georgia 2020 general election (the “Report”) (Tab 8). The Executive Summary states that “[t]he November 3, 2020 General Election (the ‘Election’) was chaotic and any reported results must be viewed as untrustworthy”.
12 See email from State Election Director Chris Harvey dated December 2, 2020 (Tab 7).

107. The Subcommittee unanimously approved the Report in a subsequent hearing on election fraud held on December 30, 2020. During that hearing investigating fraud, an expert on Dominion voting systems, Jovan Hutton Pulitzer, demonstrated in real-time that a Dominion poll pad could be hacked due to the fact that it was connected to the internet.
108. On January 2, 2021, Sen. Ligon, sent then-President Trump a letter requesting a forensic audit of the Dominion voting machines and ballots under DHS Cyber Hunt and Incident Response Teams Act of 2019. In his letter, Senator Ligon based his request in part on the following:
• The Dominion voting machines employed in Fulton County had an astounding 93.67% error rate in the scanning of ballots requiring some unknown “review panel” to “adjudicate” i.e. ”determine” the voter’s intent in over 106,000 ballots out of a total 113,130 ballots.
• Tens of thousands of votes were switched from Trump to Biden in several Georgia counties in Georgia. For example, in Bibb County, Trump had 29,391 votes at 9:11 pm EST while simultaneously Biden had 17,218 votes. Minutes later at the next update, these vote numbers switched and Trump had 17,218 votes and Biden had 29,391 votes—a switch of 12,173 votes in Biden’s favor.

The State of Michigan’s electoral votes were unlawfully certified and counted.
109. Michigan has 16 electoral votes, with a statewide vote tally of 2,649,852 for Mr. Trump and 2,804,040 for Mr. Biden, a margin of 154,188 votes.
110. The number of votes affected by the various constitutional violations exceeds the margin of votes dividing the candidates.
1. The violations of Article II in Michigan resulted in outcome- determinative numbers of unlawful votes.
111. Michigan’s then-Secretary of State, Jocelyn Benson, without legislative approval, unilaterally abrogated Michigan election statutes related to absentee ballot applications and signature verification. Michigan’s legislature has not ratified these changes, and its election laws do not include a severability clause.
112. As amended in 2018, the Michigan Constitution provides all registered voters the right to request and vote by an absentee ballot without giving a reason. MICH. CONST. art. 2, § 4.
113. On May 19, 2020, however, Secretary Benson announced that her office would send unsolicited absentee-voter ballot applications by mail to all 7.7 million registered Michigan voters prior to the primary and general elections. Although her office repeatedly encouraged voters to vote absentee because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it did not ensure that Michigan’s election systems and procedures were adequate to ensure the accuracy and legality of the

40
historic flood of mail-in votes. In fact, it did the opposite and did away with protections designed to deter voter fraud.
114. Secretary Benson’s flooding of Michigan with millions of absentee ballot applications prior to the 2020 general election violated M.C.L. § 168.759(3). That statute limits the procedures for requesting an absentee ballot to three specified ways:
An application for an absent voter ballot under this section may be made in any of the following ways:
(a) By a written request signed by the voter. (b) On an absent voter ballot application form provided for that purpose by the clerk of the city or township.
(c) On a federal postcard application. M.C.L. § 168.759(3) (emphasis added).
115. The Michigan Legislature thus declined to include the Secretary of State as a means for distributing absentee ballot applications. Id. § 168.759(3)(b). Under the statute’s plain language, the Legislature explicitly gave only local clerks the power to distribute absentee voter ballot applications. Id.
116. Because the Legislature declined to explicitly include the Secretary of State as a vehicle for distributing absentee ballots applications, Secretary Benson lacked authority to distribute even a single absentee voter ballot application—much less the millions of absentee ballot applications Secretary Benson chose to flood across Michigan.
117. Secretary Benson also violated Michigan law when she launched a program in June 2020

41
allowing absentee ballots to be requested online, without signature verification as expressly required under Michigan law. The Michigan Legislature did not approve or authorize Secretary Benson’s unilateral actions.
118. MCL § 168.759(4) states in relevant part:
119. Further, MCL § 168.761(2) states in relevant part: “
120.
to local election clerks in the form of a document entitled “Absent Voter Ballot Processing: Signature Verification and Voter Notification Standards.” This document mirrored guidance Benson had previously issued. The stated purpose of this document was to “provide[ ] standards” for reviewing signatures, verifying signatures, and
curing missing or mismatched signatures.
121. Under the heading entitled “Procedures for Signature Verification,” the document states that signature review “begins with the presumption that” the signature on an absent voter ballot application or envelope is valid. Further, the document instructs clerks to, if there are “any redeeming qualities in the [absent voter] application or return envelope
“An applicant for an absent voter ballot shall sign the application. Subject to section 761(2), a clerk or assistant clerk shall not deliver an absent voter ballot
to an applicant who does not sign the application.”
The qualified voter file must be used to
determine the genuineness of a signature on an application for an absent voter ballot”, and if “the signatures do not agree sufficiently or [if] the
signature is missing” the ballot must be rejected.
On October 6, 2020, Secretary Benson
issued “guidance”

42
signature as compared to the signature on file, treat the signature as valid.”
122. The section on signature-verification procedures repeats the notion that “clerks should presume that a voter’s [absent voter] application or envelope signature is his or her genuine signature, as there are several acceptable reasons that may cause an apparent mismatch.” Finally, the document concludes, that clerks “must perform their signature verification duties with the presumption that the voter’s [absent voter] application or envelope signature is his or her genuine signature.”
123.
Case No. 20- 000216-MM, slip op. at 14 (Mich. Ct. Claims, March 9, 2021) (stating “the standards issued by defendant Benson on October 6, 2020, with respect to signature- matching requirements amounted to a ‘rule’ [and] is
invalid.”) (Tab 10).
124. Nonetheless, the damage caused by Benson’s unlawful disregard
was done. In 2016 only 587,618 Michigan voters requested absentee ballots. In stark contrast, in 2020,
125.
On March 9, 2021, the Michigan Court of
Claims ruled that Benson’s disregard of Michigan’s statutory signature verifications requirements and procedures in her instructions to Michigan’s election
clerks were unlawful. Genetski v. Benson,
of Michigan’s statutory
signature verifications requirements and procedures
3.2 million votes were cast by absentee ballot, about 57% of total votes cast —and more than five times the
number of ballots even requested in 2016.
Secretary Benson’s unconstitutional
modifications of Michigan’s election rules resulted in the distribution of millions of absentee ballot

43
Thus, Mr. Biden materially benefited from these
unconstitutional changes to Michigan’s election law.
126. In sum, the non-legislative modifications to Michigan’s election statutes, and other discrepancies, resulted in a number of constitutionally tainted votes that far exceeds the margin of voters separating the candidates in Michigan.
rules, the non-legislative changes to the election rules violated the Electors Clause
2. Election officials’ illegal acts in Wayne County resulted in outcome determinative numbers of unlawful votes.
127. Michigan also requires that poll watchers and inspectors have access to vote counting and canvassing. M.C.L. §§ 168.674-.675.
128. Michigan also has strict signature verification requirements for absentee ballots, including that the Elections Department place a written statement or stamp on each ballot envelope where the voter signature is placed, indicating that the voter signature was in fact checked and verified
applications without verifying voter signatures as required by MCL §§ 168.759(4) and 168.761(2). This means that millions of absentee ballots were
disseminated in violation of Michigan’s statutory signature-verification requirements. Democrats in Michigan voted by mail at a ratio of approximately
two to one compared to Republican voters.
Regardless of
the number of votes that were affected by the unconstitutional modification of Michigan’s election

44
with the signature on file with the State. See MCL § 168.765a(6).
129. Local election officials in Wayne County made a conscious and express policy decision not to follow M.C.L. §§ 168.674-.675 for the opening, counting, and recording of absentee ballots. Wayne County made the policy decision to ignore Michigan’s statutory signature-verification requirements for absentee ballots. Mr. Biden received approximately 587,074, or 68%, of the votes cast there compared to Mr. Trump’s receiving approximate 264,149, or 30.59%, of the total vote. Thus, Mr. Biden materially benefited from these unconstitutional changes to Michigan’s election law.
130. In addition, numerous poll challengers and an Election Department employee whistleblower have testified that the signature verification requirement was ignored in Wayne County. For example, Jesse Jacob, a decades-long City of Detroit employee assigned to work in the Elections Department for the 2020 election testified that:
Absentee ballots that were received in the mail would have the voter’s signature on the envelope. While I was at the TCF Center, I was instructed not to look at any of the signatures on the absentee ballots, and I was instructed not to compare the signature on the absentee ballot with the signature on file.
Affidavit of Jessy Jacob, at ¶15 (Tab 11).
131. In fact, a poll challenger, Lisa Gage, testified that not a single one of the several hundred to a thousand ballot envelopes she observed had a

45
written statement or stamp indicating the voter signature had been verified at the TCF Center in accordance with MCL § 168.765a(6).13
132. The TCF was the only facility within Wayne County authorized to count ballots for the City of Detroit.
133. In addition, a member of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers (“Canvassers Board”), William Hartman, determined that 71% of Detroit’s Absent Voter Counting Boards (“AVCBs”) were unbalanced—i.e., the number of people who checked in did not match the number of ballots cast—without explanation. Affidavit of William Hartman at ¶ 6 (Tab 12).
134. On November 17, 2020, the Canvassers Board deadlocked 2-2 over whether to certify the results of the presidential election based on numerous reports of fraud and unanswered material discrepancies in the county-wide election results. A few hours later, the Republican Board members reversed their decision and voted to certify the results after severe harassment, including threats of violence. See Affidavit of William Hartman at ¶¶ 18-19 (Tab 12), and Affidavit of Monica Palmer at ¶¶ 27-28 (Tab 13).
135. The following day,
the two Republican
members of the Board rescinded their votes to certify the vote and signed affidavits alleging they were bullied and misled into approving election results and
do not believe the votes should be certified until
serious irregularities in Detroit votes are resolved.

137. Lastly, on November 4, 2020, Michigan election officials in Antrim County admitted that a purported “glitch” in Dominion voting machines caused 6,000 votes for Mr. Trump to be wrongly switched to Mr. Biden in just one county. Local officials discovered the so-called “glitch” after reportedly questioning Mr. Biden’s win in the heavily Republican area and manually checked the vote tabulation.

there were at least 50 mailbox
bins of ballots unloaded at 3:30 am on November 4, 2020, in the back of the TCF Center, well after the 8:00 pm deadline for ballots cast. There were no poll watchers present nor was there any formal chain of custody observed to know when these ballots were
cast or where the ballots came from.

138. In Bailey v. Antrim County et al., Case No. 20-9238-CZ, cyber security expert, Benjamin R. Cotton, submitted an affidavit detailing his examination of, inter alia, the Dominion ICX system and the ES&S server used in the November 2020 election. What he found was shocking.
139. Specifically, Mr. Cotton found an IP address on the Dominion ICX machine that resolved to an address in Taiwan, and that the system was actively configured to communicate on a private network. Cotton concluded that “1) the device has been actively used for network communications, and 2) that this device has communicated to public IP addresses not located in the United States.” Affidavit of Ben Cotton (Tab 15).
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s electoral votes were unlawfully certified and counted.
140. Pennsylvania has 20 electoral votes, with a statewide vote tally of 3,377,654 for Mr. Trump and 3,458,229 for Mr. Biden, a margin of 80,575 votes.
141. The number of illegal votes and votes affected by the various constitutional violations far exceeds the margin of votes separating the candidates.
1. Pennsylvania’s voter registration system can be easily hacked and manipulated.
142. Pennsylvania is one of a handful of states that allow third party entities some type of access to voter registration systems via an application programming interface (“API”). Most states and most countries prohibit access to sensitive election data but

48
in Pennsylvania, third party organizations are not only given access to the Statewide Uniform Registry of Electors (“SURE”) system but they also have the ability to grant access to other “partner organizations.” The registration system is thus totally vulnerable to someone adding fake registrations or illegally modifying registration data.
143. On December 13, 2019, the Pennsylvania Department of the Auditor General (“DAG”) issued a detailed report on its performance audit of the SURE system administered by the Pennsylvania Department of State (“DOS”). The DAG stated that the DOS obstructed its audit stating:
DOS’ denial of access to critical documents and excessive redaction of documentation resulted in DAG being unable to fully achieve three of the eight audit objectives. . . . This sustained refusal to cooperate with our information requests was done without DOS providing any plausible justification for their noncooperation. Accordingly, DAG was unable to establish with any degree of reasonable assurance that the SURE system is secure and that Pennsylvania voter registration records are complete, accurate, and in compliance with applicable laws, regulations, and related guidelines.
Letter, Eugene A. DePasquale, Pennsylvania Auditor General, to Tom Wolf, Governor, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (Dec. 13, 2019) (Tab 22).
144. The DAG’s warnings have proven true. For example, tens of thousands of voters were

49
mysteriously added to the SURE system and backdated shortly before the November 2020 election.
145. Specifically, the SURE system includes a unique ID number for each registered voter. That number is proceeded by a hyphenated county code. The February 1, 2021, voter roll (the “Full Voter Export” or “FVE”) contains 74,090 voters with the associated unique ID that have a registration date of April 6, 2020, or earlier—55,823 of these voters are recorded as having voted in 2020. However, the FVE dated April 6, 2020, has no record of these voters— meaning these purported 74,090 voters were inexplicably added to the SURE system and increased the voting population in the months leading up to the November 2020 election. These are not inactive voters. Inactive records are in the FVE and would have shown up in the April 6, 2020, FVE had they existed.

Pennsylvania’s final results show 49,141 more votes than voters and the Secretary of State unlawfully certified the Pennsylvania election results.

results on November 24, 2020. However, the SURE system, the official registrar of votes pursuant to 25 PA. STAT. § 1222, reflected that there were a whopping 784,752 more votes than voters.
147. Pennsylvania law expressly prohibits certifying until after the investigation of an over-vote:
If . . . it shall appear that the total vote returned for any candidate or candidates for
Secretary Boockvar certified the election

50
the same office or nomination . . . exceeds the total number of persons who voted in said election district or the total number of ballots cast therein . . . such excess shall be deemed a discrepancy and palpable error, and shall be investigated by the return board, and no votes shall be recorded from such district until such investigation shall be had . . . .
25 PA. STAT. § 3154 (emphasis added).
148. No investigation of the 784,752 votes before certification, as required under 25 PA. STAT. § 3154, was undertaken.
149. On December 28, 2020, Boockvar tried to excuse the massive number of extra votes compared to the number of voters—still over 205,000 as of that date—by issuing a press release stating “[a]t this time, there are still a few counties that have not completed uploading their vote histories to the SURE system.”
150. However, as of February 1, 2021, all Pennsylvania counties closed out their elections in the SURE system—meaning all counties had completed updating the voter information for the November 2020 election. The SURE system reflects that there are still 49,141 more ballots cast included in the certified vote tally, than there were voters in the November 2020 election. No explanation for this gross discrepancy has ever been given by the State.
151. As stated above, Boockvar’s excuse that not all counties had finished uploading their results to the SURE system is now moot. That leaves the fact that there are at least 49,141 more confirmed votes

51
than voters demonstrating the stark illegality of the Pennsylvania election.
152. In Philadelphia County alone, 792 out of 1703 precincts (also called “districts”) had more votes for President than voters who participated in the election. Those 792 precincts had a total of 346,484 votes for President. In those 792 precincts, Biden received 286,014 votes and Trump received 57,253 votes, for a net margin of 228,761 votes for Biden. Under 25 PA. STAT. § 3154, “no votes shall be recorded from such district until such investigation shall be had . . . .” No investigation into these discrepancies has been conducted.
153. Biden’s margin of 228,761 votes in those 762 precincts, none of which should have been recorded, far exceeds his margin of victory in Pennsylvania.
154. In Alleghany County, 767 out of 1,323 precincts had more votes for President than voters who participated in the election. In those 767 precincts, Biden received 246,446 votes and Trump received 153,060 votes, for a net margin of 93,386 votes for Biden—which alone exceeds Biden’s margin of victory. Combined with Philadelphia County, Biden received 322,147 more votes than Trump. 25 PA. STAT. § 3154 prohibited from being counted until these discrepancies were resolved. Boockvar’s certification of the vote 24, 2020 violated 25 PA. STAT. § 3154, and is therefore void.

52
3. PennsylvaniamisledthisCourtand continued to illegally count tens of thousands of ballots received after November 3, 2020.
155. On September 17, 2020, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court voted 4-3 that all mail- in ballots postmarked by 8:00 on Election Day, and received by 5:00 p.m. November 6, 2020, even those lacking a postmark or bearing an illegible postmark, would be counted. Pennsylvania Democratic Party v. Boockvar, 238 A.3d 345 (Pa. 2020).
156. On October 19, 2020, this Court split 4-4 on whether to stay that decision by Pennsylvania Supreme Court leaving that unconstitutional decision to stand.
157. After Justice Barrett’s confirmation, the Republican Party sought expedited relief to resolve this issue before the November 2020 election. On October 28, 2020, in a classic bait and switch, Pennsylvania used guidance from its Secretary of State that Pennsylvania would segregate potentially unlawful ballots to argue that this Court should not expedite review. See Republican Party of Pa. v. Boockvar, 141 S. Ct. 1, 2 (2020) (“we have been informed by the Pennsylvania Attorney General that the Secretary of the Commonwealth issued guidance today directing county boards of elections to segregate [late-arriving] ballots”) (Alito, J., concurring) The Court would reasonably rely on such a representation.
158. Before the ink was dry on that decision, however, Pennsylvania changed that guidance, breaking the State’s promise to this Court. On November 6, 2020, Justice Alito ordered all county

53
boards of election to comply with the guidance “that all ballots received by mail after 8:00 p.m. on November 3 be segregated and . . . if counted, be counted separately.” Republican Party v. Boockvar, 208 L.Ed.2d 293, 294 (U.S. 2020) (“The application received today also informs the Court that neither the applicant nor the Secretary has been able to verify that all boards are complying with the Secretary’s guidance, which, it is alleged, is not legally binding on them.”) (Alito, J., Circuit Justice).
159.
Before Justice Alito’s order dated
November 6, 2020, Pennsylvania illegally counted at least 61,855 illegal ballots which were received after the statutory 8:00 pm November 3, 2020, deadline by virtue of the fact that Pennsylvania did not segregate those ballots. The Department of State’s records reflect that: 50,285 ballots were received between November 4 through November 6, 2020; 11,570 ballots were received between November 7 through
November 11, 2020; and 10,038 were received after November 11, 2020. Pennsylvania was still counting
ballots after November 17, 2020.15
Secretary Boockvar claimed that only
about 10,000 ballots were counted after 8 p.m. on November 3, thereby admitting ballots were illegally counted, but she offered no proof that only 10,000
ballots were illegally counted.

4. The Pennsylvania Secretary of State unconstitutionally threw out state election integrity laws governing mail-in ballots.
161. In 2016, Pennsylvania received 266,208 mail-in ballots; 2,534 of them were rejected (.95%).16 However, in 2020, Pennsylvania received 2,623,867 mail-in ballots—nearly 10 times the number of mail- in ballots compared to 2016. Despite this flood of ballots, the reported rejection rate was just 1.3% with just 34,171 ballots rejected.17 As explained below, this vastly larger volume of mail-in ballots was treated in an unconstitutionally modified manner that included: (1) doing away with the Pennsylvania’s signature verification requirements; and (2) blocking poll watchers in Philadelphia and Allegheny Counties in violation of State law.
162.
163. Specifically, Pennsylvania’s then- Secretary of State, Kathy Boockvar, without legislative approval, unilaterally abrogated several Pennsylvania statutes requiring signature verification for absentee or mail-in ballots.

The blatant disregard of statutory law
renders all mail-in ballots constitutionally tainted
and should not have formed the basis for appointing or certifying Pennsylvania’s presidential electors to
the Electoral College.

17

55
Pennsylvania’s legislature has not ratified these changes, and the legislation did not include a severability clause.
164. On August 7, 2020, the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania and others filed a complaint against Secretary Boockvar and other local election officials, seeking “a declaratory judgment that Pennsylvania existing signature verification procedures for mail-in voting” were unlawful for a number of reasons. League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania v. Boockvar, No. 2:20-cv-03850-PBT, (E.D. Pa. Aug. 7, 2020).
165. The Pennsylvania Department of State quickly settled with the plaintiffs, issuing revised guidance on September 11, 2020, stating in relevant part: “The Pennsylvania Election Code does not authorize the county board of elections to set aside returned absentee or mail-in ballots based solely on signature analysis by the county board of elections.”
166. The Pennsylvania Department of State’s guidance directly contradicted Pennsylvania law. First, Pennsylvania Election Code mandates that, for non-disabled and non-military voters, all applications for an absentee or mail-in ballot “shall be signed by the applicant.” 25 PA. STAT. §§ 3146.2(d) & 3150.12(c). Second, Pennsylvania’s voter signature verification requirements are expressly set forth at 25 PA. STAT. 350(a.3)(1)-(2) and § 3146.8(g)(3)-(7).
167. The Pennsylvania Department of State’s guidance unconstitutionally did away with Pennsylvania’s statutory signature verification requirements. Approximately
70% of the requests for
absentee ballots were from Democrats and 25% from

56
168. In addition, in 2019, Pennsylvania’s legislature enacted bipartisan election reforms, 2019 Pa. Legis. Serv. Act 2019-77, that set inter alia a deadline of 8:00 p.m. on election day for a county board of elections to receive a mail-in ballot. 25 PA. STAT. §§ 3146.6(c), 3150.16(c). Acting under a generally worded clause that “Elections shall be free and equal,” PA. CONST. art. I, § 5, cl. 1, a 4-3 majority of Pennsylvania’s Supreme Court in Pa. Democratic Party v. Boockvar, 238 A.3d 345 (Pa. 2020), extended that deadline to three days after Election Day and adopted a presumption that even non-postmarked ballots were presumed timely.
169.
170. In addition,
Congressman Scott Perry (the “Ryan Report”) (Tab 16) stating that “[t]he general election of 2020 in Pennsylvania was fraught with inconsistencies, documented irregularities and improprieties associated with mail-in balloting, pre- canvassing, and canvassing that the reliability of the mail-in votes in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is impossible to rely upon.”
Republicans. Thus, this unconstitutional abrogation of state election law greatly inured to Mr. Biden’s
benefit.
Absentee and mail-in ballots in
Pennsylvania were thus evaluated under an illegal
standard regarding signature verification. It is now impossible to determine which ballots were properly
cast and which ballots were not.
on December 4, 2020, fifteen
members of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives led by Rep. Francis X. Ryan issued a
report to

57
171. The Ryan Report’s findings are startling, including:
• Ballots with NO MAILED date. That total is 9,005.
• Ballots Returned on or BEFORE the Mailed Date. That total is 58,221.
• Ballots Returned one day after Mailed Date. That total is 51,200.
Id. at 5.
172. These nonsensical numbers alone total
118,426 ballots and exceed Mr. Biden’s margin of
173. These stunning figures illustrate the out-of-control nature of Pennsylvania’s mail-in balloting scheme.
The State of Wisconsin’s electoral voters were unlawfully certified and counted.
174. Wisconsin has 10 electoral votes. Mr. Trump received 1,610,184 votes and Mr. Biden received 1,630,866 votes, a margin of 20,682 votes.
175. The number of illegal votes and votes affected by the various constitutional violations far exceeds the margin of votes separating the candidates.
80,555 votes over Mr. Trump. But these discrepancies pale in comparison to the discrepancies in Pennsylvania’s reported data concerning the number of mail-in ballots distributed to the populace—now no longer subject to legislatively mandated signature-
verification requirements.
Democrats submitted mail-in
ballots at more than two times the rate of
Republicans.

According to the Wisconsin Legislative Audit Bureau (“LAB”) Report 21-19 (the “LAB Report”) (Tab 17), in the 2020 presidential election, 1,963,954 absentee ballots were cast, 59.6 percent of all ballots cast compared to 819,316 absentee ballots cast in 2016, or 27.3 percent of all ballots cast. Id. at 38.
177. Wisconsin statutes guard against fraud in mail-in absentee ballots: “[V]oting by absentee ballot is a privilege exercised wholly outside the traditional safeguards of the polling place. The legislature finds that the privilege of voting by absentee ballot must be carefully regulated to prevent the potential for fraud or abuse[.]” WISC. STAT. § 6.84(1).
178. Leading up to the November 2020 election, in direct contravention of Wisconsin law, the Wisconsin Elections Commission (“WEC”) and other local officials unconstitutionally weakened or completely abrogated Wisconsin election laws—each time taking steps that did away with established security procedures put in place by the Wisconsin legislature to ensure absentee ballot integrity.
179. The WEC is now attempting to block any investigations into the widespread voter fraud in Wisconsin. In March 2021, the Wisconsin legislature voted to commence an investigation into election irregularities in the November 2020 election. In July 2021, Wisconsin Speaker of the Assembly Robin Vos

state and local election officials, the
WEC, represented by the State Attorney General’s office, sought a temporary restraining order against Speaker Vos, former Justice Gableman, and others seeking to block two subpoenas issued to the WEC and Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe claiming the subpoenas were part “of an unlawful investigation focused on debunked theories about the November 2020 Election.” The WEC spoke too fast.
181. In October 2021, the nonpartisan LAB, and the Racine County Sheriff, revealed lengthy investigations that confirmed the WEC’s massive violations of Wisconsin election law, including at least one felony and three misdemeanors caused by their illegal instructions to disregard Wisconsin election laws designed to ensure that fake ballots did not affect the integrity of the vote.
182. Indeed, Racine County found that the WEC knowingly “shattered” at least one statute likely causing fraudulent votes in nursing homes in all 72 counties across the State of Wisconsin.18
183. The LAB Report detailed the WEC’s and other elections officials’ lack of cooperation noting that the City of Madison refused to let the LAB auditors handle absentee ballots despite their county (Dane County) having the highest percentage of absentee ballots in the state at 74.4 percent of ballots.

Report at 6] The LAB also stated that county clerks for Milwaukee County and the Town of Little Suamic refused access to their ballots. Combined, these areas accounted for 623,700 of the 3.3 million ballots cast in the November 2020 election. (18.9 percent). Lab Report at 7. The LAB also noted that three WEC members refused to speak with the auditors (the audit doesn’t mention which ones, but three are Democrats). Id. at 5.
184. After the Racine County Sheriff’s Office released their findings, Wisconsin lawmakers, including Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, called on the Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe to resign.
2. The Racine County Sheriff found the WEC committed a felony and three misdemeanors by encouraging voter fraud in nursing homes
185. Wisconsin
186.
On October 28, 2021, the Racine County, and
Sheriff held a press conference
laid out
the case of the WEC’s criminal election fraud during the 2020 election related to the abuse of voters confined to nursing homes and assisted living
facilities.
The Sheriff’s investigators discovered
that the WEC expressly discussed that their proposed conduct for the 2020 election would violate state law, and yet they decided to do it anyway, and memorialized their decision in letters disseminated to
every single county clerk’s office in Wisconsin. As such, the Sheriff concluded members of the WEC

61
187. Specifically, the Sheriff commenced an investigation in early 2021, after a complaint by a nursing home resident’s daughter that her dementia suffering mother cast a vote that she was entirely incompetent to make. An eight-month investigation the Sheriff’s investigation discovered, inter alia, that the WEC sent nursing homes across the state letters March 12, 2020, June 24, 2020, and September 25, 2020, stating that “Municipalities shall not use the Special Voting Deputy process”—a key requirement under WISC. STAT. § 6.875(4)(a) to ensure that nursing home residents are not taken advantage to cast false ballots—and should instead mail the absentee ballots.
188. The investigation discovered that at that nursing facility about 10 residents would normally vote in a presidential election cycle but in 2020 42 residents voted. Though the focus of the Sheriff’s investigation was on the WEC’s clear orders to violate Wisconsin election law, the Sheriff noted seven other families also said their family members were not competent to cast their votes—and that all of these eight incompetent patients last voted in 2012.
189. The Sheriff stated the

3. The WEC’s and other officials illegal use of drop boxes in violation of Wisconsin law
190. The WEC undertook a campaign to position hundreds of drop boxes to collect absentee ballots—including the use of unmanned drop boxes. Wisconsin Elections Commission Memoranda, To: All Wisconsin Election Officials, at 3 (Aug. 19, 2020) (Tab 23).
191. The mayors of Wisconsin’s five largest cities—Green Bay, Kenosha, Madison, Milwaukee, and Racine, which all have Democrat majorities— joined in this effort, and together, developed a plan to use purportedly “secure drop-boxes to facilitate the return of absentee ballots.” Wisconsin Safe Voting Plan 2020 Submitted to the Center for Tech & Civic Life, June 15, 2020, by the Mayors of Madison, Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha and Green Bay, at 4 (Tab 24).
192. The use of any drop box—whether manned or unmanned—is directly prohibited by Wisconsin statute. The Wisconsin legislature specifically described in the Election Code “Alternate absentee ballot site[s]” and detailed the procedure by which the governing body of a municipality may designate a site or sites for the delivery of absentee ballots “other than the office of the municipal clerk or board of election commissioners as the location from which electors of the municipality may request and vote absentee ballots and to which voted absentee ballots shall be returned by electors for any election.” WIS. STAT. 6.855(1).

63
193. Any alternate absentee ballot site “shall be staffed by the municipal clerk or the executive director of the board of election commissioners, or employees of the clerk or the board of election commissioners.” WIS. STAT. 6.855(3). Likewise, WIS. STAT. 7.15(2m) provides, “[i]n a municipality in which the governing body has elected to establish an alternate absentee ballot site under s. 6.855, the municipal clerk shall operate such site as though it were his or her office for absentee ballot purposes and shall ensure that such site is adequately staffed.”
194. Thus, the unmanned absentee ballot drop-off sites are prohibited by the Wisconsin Legislature as they do not comply with Wisconsin law expressly defining “[a]lternate absentee ballot site[s].” WIS. STAT. 6.855(1), (3).
195. In addition, the use of drop boxes for the collection of absentee ballots, positioned predominantly in Wisconsin’s largest cities, is directly contrary to Wisconsin law providing that absentee ballots may only be “mailed by the elector, or delivered in person to the municipal clerk issuing the ballot or ballots.” WIS. STAT. § 6.87(4)(b)1 (emphasis added).
196. The fact that other methods of delivering absentee ballots, such as through unmanned drop boxes, are not permitted is underscored by WIS. STAT. § 6.87(6) which mandates that, “[a]ny ballot not mailed or delivered as provided in this subsection may not be counted.” Likewise, WIS. STAT. § 6.84(2) underscores this point, providing that WIS. STAT. § 6.87(6) “shall be construed as mandatory.” The provision continues—“Ballots cast in contravention of the procedures specified in those provisions may not

64
be counted. Ballots counted in contravention of the procedures specified in those provisions may not be included in the certified result of any election.” WIS. STAT. § 6.84(2) (emphasis added).
197. Incredibly, the rejection rate for the 1,963,954 absentee ballots cast in the November 2020 election plummeted to .217%, or 4,270 rejected ballots, compared to the rejection rate in November 2016 election of 1.35% when there just 819,316 absentee ballots cast. The rejection rate in 2016 was more than six times greater than in 2020.
4.
The WEC encouraged voters to illegally declare themselves “indefinitely confined” thereby avoiding ballot security requirements
198.
took it upon themselves to encourage voters to unlawfully declare themselves “indefinitely confined”—which under Wisconsin law allows the voter to avoid security measures like signature verification and photo ID requirements.
199. Specifically, registering to vote by absentee ballot requires photo identification, except for those who register as “indefinitely confined” or “hospitalized.” WISC. STAT. § 6.86(2)(a), (3)(a). Registering for indefinite confinement requires certifying confinement “because of age, physical illness or infirmity or [because the voter] is disabled for an indefinite period.” Id. § 6.86(2)(a). Should indefinite confinement cease, the voter must notify
The WEC and local election officials also

65
the county clerk, id., who must remove the voter from
indefinite-confinement status. Id. § 6.86(2)(b).
200. Wisconsin election procedures for voting absentee based on indefinite confinement enable the voter to avoid the photo ID requirement and signature requirement. Id. § 6.86(1)(ag)/(3)(a)(2).
201. On March 25, 2020, in clear violation of Wisconsin law, Dane County Clerk Scott McDonnell and Milwaukee County Clerk George Christensen both issued guidance indicating that all voters should mark themselves as “indefinitely confined” because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
202. Believing this to be an attempt to circumvent Wisconsin’s strict voter ID laws, the Republican Party of Wisconsin petitioned the Wisconsin Supreme Court to intervene. On March 31, 2020, the Wisconsin Supreme Court unanimously confirmed that the clerks’ “advice was legally incorrect” and potentially dangerous because “voters may be misled to exercise their right to vote in ways that are inconsistent with WISC. STAT. § 6.86(2).”
203. On May 13, 2020, the Administrator of WEC issued a directive to the Wisconsin clerks prohibiting removal of voters from the registry for indefinite-confinement status if the voter is no longer “indefinitely confined.”
204. The WEC’s directive violated Wisconsin law. WISC. STAT. § 6.86(2)(a) specifically provides that
“any [indefinitely confined] elector [who] is no longer
indefinitely confined ... shall so notify the municipal
clerk.”
WISC. STAT. § 6.86(2)(b)
further provides that
the municipal clerk “shall remove the name of any other elector from the list upon request of the elector

66
205. On December 16, 2020, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled that Wisconsin officials, including Governor Evers, unlawfully told Wisconsin voters to declare themselves “indefinitely confined”— thereby avoiding signature and photo ID requirements. See Jefferson v. Dane County, 394 Wis. 2d 602, 951 N.W.2d 556 (Wis. 2020). Given the near fourfold increase in the use of this classification from 2016 to 2020, tens of thousands of these ballots could be illegal. The vast majority of the more than 216,000 voters classified as “indefinitely confined” were from heavily Democrat areas, thereby materially and illegally, benefited Mr. Biden.
206. The LAB found that according to statistics kept by the WEC, nearly 220,404 voters said they were indefinitely confined in the 2020 election, including 169,901 individuals (77.1 percent) who indicated for the first time that they were indefinitely confined. [LAB Report at 50]
207. Moreover, according to WEC’s data, 48,554 of those first time individuals (22.0 percent) had not previously voted by methods that required them to have provided photo identification or did not have photo identifications on file with clerks. [LAB 51]. Thus, at a minimum there was zero verification that these 48,554 voters were who they said they were or were even real voters.

Thus, at a minimum there was zero verification that these 45,665 voters were who they said they were or were even real voters.
6. The Office of the Special Counsel’s findings of illegal votes in its First Interim Report.
209. In the Summer of 2021, the Wisconsin State Assembly established a new office, the Office of the Special Counsel, to investigate the November 2020 election.
210. On November 10, 2021, the Office of the Special Counsel delivered its First Interim Report to the Wisconsin State Assembly. First Interim Rept., Wisconsin Office of the Special Counsel (Nov. 10, 2021) (the “Report”) (Tab 19).
211. The Office of the Special Counsel found that many of the “safeguards mandated for the protection of honest absentee ballots” were “abrogated by WEC” including “the illegal mass self-certification of individuals as ‘indefinitely confined’ under the statute, a category which enables a voter to evade
According to the LAB Report, in 2020,
957,977 Wisconsinites registered to be a new voter. Of that figure, 45,665 new voters registered with driver’s license information that did not match DMV records or 4.8% of registrants. Of the 45,665 total non- matches, 63.1 percent were from a name non-match, meaning the name submitted by the new voter on the ballot application did not match the name on file at

state voter ID requirements, but which is intended to apply to physically or physiologically immobile residents confined to their home because of their condition.” Id. at 18.
212. Another issue identified by the Office of the Special Counsel are “Democracy in the Park” events held prior to the election to harvest absentee ballots in Madison. The Report states “[w]hile this Office draws no conclusions, we possess evidence that the events, which occurred on September 26 and October 3, 2020, involved numerous possible violations of state law, calling into question the validity of over 17,000 absentee ballots. Id. at 19.
213. The Report also identified the Racine County Sheriff’s referral of criminal charges against the WEC for violations of Wisconsin’s laws designed to elderly voters from being taken advantage of in casting votes. The Report states:
This Office has evidence that WEC and some clerks instructed residential care employees to act in a manner prohibited by law, collecting and assisting in completing ballots for individuals in these group facilities, including those with dementia. This led to record-high voting by individuals who had not voted for nearly a decade and may have lacked the cognitive ability to vote.
Id. at 21 (emphasis added).
214. The Office of the Special Counsel also identified that the WisVote (SVRS) system, the statewide system that enables clerks to track absentee ballot requests and includes highly sensitive

69
personal information, is not secure even though WEC guidance requires it to be subject to a high level of security. The Report states that “there is already some evidence of unauthorized access to this database.” Id. at 24.

COUNT I: ELECTORS CLAUSE
217. Plaintiff State repeats and re-alleges the allegations above, as if fully set forth herein.
218. The Electors Clause of Article II, Section 1, Clause 2, of the Constitution makes clear that only the legislatures of the States are permitted to determine the rules for appointing presidential electors. The pertinent rules here are the state election statutes, specifically those relevant to the presidential election.
219. Non-legislative actors lack authority to amend or nullify election statutes. Bush II, 531 U.S. at 104 (quoted supra).
220. Under Heckler v. Chaney, 470 U.S. 821, 833 n.4 (1985), conscious and express executive policies—even if unwritten—to nullify statutes or to abdicate statutory responsibilities are reviewable to the same extent as if the policies had been written or adopted. Thus, conscious and express actions by State or local election officials to nullify or ignore requirements of election statutes violate the Electors Clause to the same extent as formal modifications by judicial officers or State executive officers.
221. The foregoing actions constitute non- legislative changes to State election law by executive- branch State election officials, or by judicial officials, in Defendant States Pennsylvania, Georgia,

71
Michigan, Wisconsin, and Arizona in violation of the Electors Clause.
222. Electors appointed to the Electoral College in violation of the Electors Clause cannot cast constitutionally valid votes for the office of President.
COUNT II: DUE PROCESS
223. Plaintiff State repeats and re-alleges the allegations above, as if fully set forth herein.
224. When election practices reach “the point of patent and fundamental unfairness,” the integrity of the election itself violates substantive due process. Griffin v. Burns, 570 F.2d 1065, 1077 (1st Cir. 1978); Duncan v. Poythress, 657 F.2d 691, 702 (5th Cir. 1981); Florida State Conference of N.A.A.C.P. v. Browning, 522 F.3d 1153, 1183-84 (11th Cir. 2008); Roe v. State of Ala. By & Through Evans, 43 F.3d 574, 580-82 (11th Cir. 1995); Roe v. State of Ala., 68 F.3d 404, 407 (11th Cir. 1995); Marks v. Stinson, 19 F. 3d 873, 878 (3rd Cir. 1994).
225. Under this Court’s precedents on proced- ural due process, not only intentional failure to follow election law as enacted by a State’s legislature but also random and unauthorized acts by state election officials and their designees in local government can violate the Due Process Clause. Parratt v. Taylor, 451 U.S. 527, 537-41 (1981), overruled in part on other grounds by Daniels v. Williams, 474 U.S. 327, 330-31 (1986); Hudson v. Palmer, 468 U.S. 517, 532 (1984). The difference between intentional acts and random and unauthorized acts is the degree of pre-deprivation review.

72
226. Defendant
unconstitutionally to lower their election standards— including to allow invalid ballots to be counted and valid ballots to not be counted—with the express intent to favor their candidate for President and to alter the outcome of the 2020 election. In many instances these actions occurred in areas having a history of election fraud.
227. The foregoing actions constitute intentional violations of State election law by State election officials and their designees in Defendant States Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Arizona in violation of the Due Process Clause.
COUNT III: GUARANTEE CLAUSE
228. Plaintiff State repeats and re-alleges the allegations above, as if fully set forth herein.
229. The Guarantee Clause provides that “[t]he United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government.” U.S. CONST. art. IV, cl. 1.
230. Although this Court dismissed Texas v. Pennsylvania, No. 22O155 (U.S.), citing a lack of standing, Texas v. Pennsylvania, 141 S.Ct. 1230 (2020) (“Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections.”), the United States has parens patriae standing to challenge the manner in which states conduct their elections: “Nor does a State have standing as the parent of its citizens to invoke these constitutional provisions against the Federal Government, the ultimate parens patriae of every American citizen.” South Carolina v. Katzenbach, 383
States acted

73
U.S. 301, 324 (1966). The failure to pursue the United States’ meritorious claim violates the Guarantee Clause.
231. The United States and the Officer Defendants have been aware of the constitutional violations and facts at issue in this action and have not acted either to avoid or to remedy these violations.
232. The foregoing actions violate the Guarantee Clause.
COUNT IV: TAKE CARE CLAUSE
233. Plaintiff State repeats and re-alleges the allegations above, as if fully set forth herein.
234. The Take Care Clause provides that “[the President] shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” U.S. CONST. art. II, § 3, cl. 5.
235. The President, Attorney General, and Vice President have been aware of the constitutional violations and facts at issue in this action and have not acted either to avoid or to remedy these violations.
236. The foregoing actions violate the Take Care Clause.
PRAYER FOR RELIEF
WHEREFORE, the Plaintiff State respectfully requests that this Court issue the following relief:
1. Declare that Defendant States administered the November 2020 election in violation of the Electors Clause and the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
2. Declare that the United States and Officer Defendants violated the Guarantee Clause and the Take Care Clause with respect to allowing the

74
foregoing constitutional violations by the Defendant States in administering the November 2020 election.
3. Declare that the Defendant States’ certification of the November 2020 election results and of presidential electors on or about December 14, 2020, violated the Electors Clause and the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and vacate those certifications.
4. Declare that the Defendant States’ certification of the November 2020 election results and of presidential electors on or about December 14, 2020, violated the Electors Clause and the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and vacate those certifications.
5. Declare that the United States violated the Guarantee Clause in allowing the November 2020 election to proceed on the basis of the unconstitutional results in Defendant States.
6. Declare that the President, Attorney General, and Vice-President violated the Take Care Clause by failing to act to remedy the violations of the Constitution in the November 2020 election.
7. Enjoin the use of vacated certifications in Defendant States’ use of the 2020 election results for the Office of President to appoint presidential electors to the Electoral College.
8. Declare that the counting of electoral votes in the Joint Session of Congress on January 6-7, 2021, violated the Electors Clause, the Due Process Clause, the Guarantee Clause, the Take Care Clause, and the Twelfth Amendment, and vacate that count.

75
9. Enjoin the Officer Defendants to convene special sessions of the House of Representatives and the Senate to vote for the President and Vice- President, respectively, pursuant to the Twelfth Amendment.
10. Alternatively, authorize, pursuant to the Court’s remedial authority, the Defendant States to conduct a special election to appoint presidential electors.
11. Alternatively, authorize, pursuant to the Court’s remedial authority, the Defendant States to conduct an audit of their election results, supervised by a Court-appointed special master, in a manner to be determined separately.
12. Enjoin Defendant States’ use in future elections of revisions adopted by non-legislative actors to the election laws enacted by the state legislatures unless the legislature ratifies any such revisions by enacting them as state law before the election.
13. Award costs to Plaintiff State.
14. Grant such other relief as the Court
deems just and proper.

Rumor has it Schiff was raping an underage black boy while he was dead (he thought the boy was unconscious from the drugs) and the body was later dissolved in acid or chemicals.

Apparently, Anthon Bourbain's room was next door and he witnessed this and was taken out. Ditto for the 4 people associated with the hotel who died in that helicopter crash
