Biden FEC nominee blamed ‘unreliable’ voting machines as she sued Georgia over Stacey Abrams losing election
President Joe Biden’s pick for the Federal Election Commission, Dara Lindenbaum, is about as partisan as they get having represented Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams’ nonprofit that challenged the alleged unconstitutionality of the 2018 election.
Lindenbaum is also representing Senator Raphael Warnock’s church in the lawsuit. The complaint ironically questioned the state’s use of “unreliable” electronic voting machines.
The campaign finance attorney admittedly signed on to a federal legal complaint in November of 2018 on behalf of Abrams’s Fair Fight Action. Abrams has never conceded her loss to Republican Governor Brian Kemp in the race. Warnock’s Ebenezer Baptist Church became part of the lawsuit in 2019.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) grilled her over the issue during a hearing.
“As an officer of the court, you were willing to put your name on a legal pleading alleging that the machines used in Georgia in 2018 were switching votes illegally from one candidate to another. Is that correct?” he asked.
She unequivocally answered, “Yes.”

Sen. Ted Cruz to Biden nominee to the FEC: "As an officer of the court, you were willing to put your name on a legal pleading alleging that the machines used in Georgia in 2018 were switching votes illegally from one candidate to another. Is that correct?"
Dara Lindenbaum: "Yes"
The complaint contends the state of Georgia “grossly mismanaged” the election and asserts that it deprived “Georgia citizens, and particularly citizens of color, of their fundamental right to vote.” The complaint also states that the Georgia election “violated the First, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution.”
It previously went on to decry the use of “insecure and unreliable” electronic voting machines that “lack a paper trail” and therefore “cannot be audited.” The complaint alleged at one point that the machines “switched” votes from Abrams to Kemp.
Following the claim of former President Donald Trump and his supporters that voting machines were rigging the 2020 presidential election, Fair Fight and other plaintiffs have now amended the complaint, removing any allegations of problematic voting machines.
Lindenbaum signed the original complaint in 2019, according to the Washington Free Beacon. She has now been nominated by the president to serve on the FEC which holds sway over determining US election rules. If she is confirmed, she will replace Steve Walther, who is an Independent.
The nominee has worked for a number of left-wing organizations including UnidosUS, the Latino civil rights group formerly known as La Raza, and CodePink. She was general counsel to Abrams’s 2018 gubernatorial campaign as well.
The Senate Rules Committee is examining Lindenbaum’s nomination since she is still actively involved in the complaint.
“Undermining our election system is a serious problem, and we see the receipts of her deliberately trying to undermine our election process with spurious claims,” Honest Elections Project Action Executive Director Jason Snead said concerning Lindenbaum’s nomination. “Someone seeking a position on the powerful FEC should not be working to undercut public confidence in our elections by peddling unfounded conspiracies.”
Many consider Biden’s nomination of Lindenbaum the height of hypocrisy after his criticism of Trump’s stolen election claims. Just weeks before he nominated her, Biden asserted that Trump “created and spread a web of lies about the 2020 election” because “he sees his own interest as more important than his country’s interest.” Then he intimated that the 2022 midterms could be illegitimate if Democrats fail to pass election reform legislation.
“I’m not saying it’s going to be legit, as the increase in the prospect of being illegitimate is a direct proportion to us not being able to get these reforms passed,” Biden disturbingly remarked.
Lindenbaum also strongly supports the Democrats’ federal voting bill.
Her nomination surfaces as Biden comes under pressure from the left to pack the FEC with commissioners sympathetic to heavy-handed enforcement of campaign finance laws. Ironically, as the left endorses a tougher stance on the regulation of “dark money,” Fair Fight Action has taken in over $62 million in dark money during its first two years, according to the Washington Examiner.
What I would love to see is media personalities who’ve been referring to Trump’s claims as The Big Lie to this point forced to answer for their propaganda at every opportunity.
Of course they’ll not want to talk about the election anymore.
Actually-Democrats wrote the book on election fraud....and it goes WAAAY back!
Of course, if you consider that ‘Republicans’ look the other way, (for whatever reason-and that probably varies with the individuals, $$$$$ for sure) then they are complicit too.
It goes without saying that without ‘Republicans’” complicity, Liberals could not be so successful with their schemes.
I don’t think it was the “first”
“Nope. JFK was a stolen election via the Chicago Daley crime machine.”
...and LBJ in Texas and probably West Virginia as well.
It is common knowledge that in NYC the Dems would have busses ad pick up bums and tell them they were going bowling, then give them cigarettes and take them to the polls. not only eyewitness accounts, but filmed and interviewed. For the media to deny election fraud is to deny reality. And yes, Trump won.
Dems shouldn’t have to cheat in NYC.
These documented events occurred when George Pataki (R) was running in 1994: The polls had Governor Cuomo ahead by as many as ten points going into the final two weeks, but they then narrowed at the end. Pataki made an issue of Cuomo seeking a fourth term as governor and pledged to serve only two terms in office. Cuomo was helped late in the race by the endorsement of New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.[15] In the end, Pataki narrowly defeated Cuomo in the general election. Many, including Pataki himself, believed Howard Stern's endorsement of Pataki was a major reason for his win.[16] He finished with 48.8% of the vote to Cuomo's 45.5%, with independence candidate Tom Golisano finishing with 4.2%. Pataki made up for a soft performance in New York City by running up a decisive margin outside of it, especially among upstaters disenchanted with Cuomo. Pataki won all but one county outside the Five Boroughs.[17] Pataki became New York's first Republican governor since Nelson Rockefeller.[18]
And so we see why Kemp ignored the 2020 Georgia Steal.
They are not even pretending anymore. So that means the age of voting is done.
Could be Kemp had his own problems...
We need an FEC that will de-certify the DNC for its election interference actions against Donald Trump (’Russia Hoax’); illicit spying on another candidate; certifying Un-natural born citizen candidates for offices of POTUS, VPOTUS (Hussein Obama, Kamala Harris in separate elections); and ballot fraud in the 2020 Election (using election offices to supply illegal mail ballots).
Stevie Wonder can see it was stolen.
Ray Charles can see it was stolen.
It’s shameful, and we are living in nothing less than a banana republic, just with a LOT more money.
Nowhere in the article, or any other post, does it mention RCV. Can you explain the acronym to me so I know what it is?
P
anyway the new stuff was sent by a satellite owned by the Italian govt. and leased by;hole on:
The Vatican.
Just gets better and better as you get into it.
The electronic cheat goes back to Venezulea dictator Hugo Chavez in 2000 when he tasked Dominion to create a voting machine that was easy to hack. They did and by 2004 guess who: Peter Strzok was heading up worldwide election cheating.
Most likely, no telling how long massive cheating from state to state has been going on. We may never know.
Clearly Kemp was in on the steal which explains a lot and why its been so tough to get anywhere with Trumps obvious steal both parties are involved. Pubbies far less but still involved.
I say jail them all,anyone involved.
“It was the first ever American election that was stolen by the communist RAT party.”
The second ever (that we’re aware of). 1960 was stolen. JFK laughed and bragged about it. Nixon didn’t fight it.
