The Department of Homeland Security and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency knew that mass mail-in voting during the 2020 election contained risks but continued to flag social media posts raising such concerns as disinformation, according to new documents obtained by America First Legal in its lawsuit against the agency.
The CISA documents appear to show that in September 2020, officials knew that mail-in voting came with election security risks and that there was no evidence to support the claim that in-person voting would “increase the spread of COVID-19.” Officials also were reportedly aware that mass mail-in efforts presented challenges for election officials.
“These documents demonstrate federal bureaucrats knew that there was no credible evidence supporting the claim that in-person voting spread COVID-19, and that mail-in and absentee voting were indeed less secure than in-person voting, precisely as President Trump, Attorney General Barr, and others had warned,” Reed Rubinstein, AFL senior counselor and director of oversight and investigations, told Just the News.
While aware of the dangers of mass mail-in voting, CISA contracted consulting firm Deloitte to monitor and target social media posts that spewed election mis- and disinformation narratives.
Some of the reported posts tagged included “a conservative online activist [who] accused Twitter of censoring her posts about voter fraud she is ‘witnessing here in Nevada,’ and expressed her frustration with Twitter’s disclaimers stating that mail-in ballots are secure,” according to AFL.
Deloitte also reportedly informed CISA of a conservative who alleged that Twitter suppressed a story about the “Democratic presidential nominee’s son to help the nominee win the election.”
In late 2022, America First Legal sued CISA “to compel the immediate release of records shedding light on the nature and extent of the federal government’s collusion with the media and Big Tech to censor information and shape public opinion.”
“The terms ‘misinformation,’ ‘disinformation,’ and ‘malinformation’ are so dangerously vague that they invite bureaucratic abuse. Based on the evidence disclosed to date, these terms are functioning as the pretext for domestic propaganda operations. State and CISA are not ministries of ‘truth’ – the public has a right to know precisely who decides what information to censor, and how the government is using its private sector allies to shape public opinion,” Rubinstein said in a press release announcing the lawsuit.
This low tech bleep is just a cover to obcsure the fact that the ONLY way to steal a landslide is with high tech.
...obscure...
Those ‘risks’ are features, not bugs. They took advantage of them. That was their plan. It worked.
Mail In Voting = Voter Fraud
Early Voting = Voter Fraud
Ballot Harvesting = Voter Fraud
No ID Required To Register = Voter Fraud
No ID Required At Polling Place = Voter Fraud
Failure to “Prune” Voters’ Rolls = Voter Fraud
Automatic Registration By The DMV = Voter Fraud
Rank Choice Voting = Voter Fraud
Allowing 16 Year Olds To Vote = Voter Fraud
Allowing Non-Citizens To Vote = Voter Fraud
No one cared in fedgov as long as Burden won.
very good point. They’ll just hack the machines. No need to send mules around or print millions of fake ballots this time.
The purpose of the secret ballot is to make it impractical for people to sell their vote.
Mail-in ballots defeat the purpose of ballot secrecy.
Mail-in ballots should only be allowed in cases where a person could not otherwise vote.
I believe ballot secrecy is required by international treaty.
“Article 25
Every citizen shall have the right and the opportunity, without any of the distinctions mentioned in article 2 and without unreasonable restrictions:
(a) To take part in the conduct of public affairs, directly or through freely chosen representatives;
(b) To vote and to be elected at genuine periodic elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret ballot, guaranteeing the free expression of the will of the electors;”
You forgot pets.
“Every citizen shall have the right and the opportunity...To take part in the conduct of public affairs, directly or through freely chosen representatives”
Lawfare violates international law.
Perhaps ballots should be posted online in near real-time.
Each voting machine would buffer ballots (to effectively preserve ballot secrecy).
When a voting machine buffer holds 60 or more ballot pages, the first 30 would be sent to election headquarters (in random order to preserve ballot secrecy). At the end of the voting day the remaining ballots would be uploaded, normally at least 30.
Election headquarters would then tabulate and post them online.
There might be an online image for each ballot scan:
https://www.votingmachine.com/Philadelphia/VM101/SN000017658/110524/1234/ballot000000007.jpeg
VM101 - model number of ballot scanner
SN000017658 - serial number of ballot scanner
110524 - date of ballot scan posting
1234 - hour and minute of ballot scan posting
ballot000000007 - seventh ballot page posted for scanner on posting date
The date of image creation would be set not at when the ballot is scanned in but when it is uploaded to get the ballot secrecy required by The International convention on Political and Civil Rights.
Unless there are extenuating circumstances(illness, disability, out of the country/state) there is no reason for mail in ballots, the right to vote means you show up to vote, not “mail it in” or let a ballot harvester to solicit you and fill out your ballot for you. All this mail and and ballot harvesting, no voter ID, and ranked choice voting are allowing the deep state to select our leaders rather than we the people.
I don’t know. My belief is that Pennsylvania was stolen with low tech.
Georgia was Dems in Atlanta humping the voting machines. Is that low tech, or high tech? I think low tech.
The popular vote doesn’t count. But it is cover for the stolen states and, as you say, required high tech for a landslide steal.
These are violative of Due Process:
No ID Required To Register = Voter Fraud
No ID Required At Polling Place = Voter Fraud
Failure to “Prune” Voters’ Rolls = Voter Fraud
Rank Choice Voting = Voter Fraud
Allowing Non-Citizens To Vote = Voter Fraud
This should be limited to true need:
Mail In Voting = Voter Fraud
These should be effectively outlawed:
Ballot Harvesting = Voter Fraud
Allowing 16 Year Olds To Vote = Voter Fraud
These are probably OK:
Early Voting = Voter Fraud
Automatic Registration By The DMV = Voter Fraud
You missed same-day registration, which should not be allowed as a college student might have lived in Michigan and might be attending college in Wisconsin and have state picture IDs from both.
All changes to long-standing rules favor Democratic candidates and therefore ‘stink’.
p
Censorship should be a LWOP offence and censorship of true information that you know is true should be a death penalty offence.
These people are traitors to the Constitution and act as enemies.
Let’s face it. 2020 was stolen. It’s the fake news “media” and RAT politicians who have convinced the stupid and the ignorant that it wasn’t.
The thugs in Blue counties kept counting and recounting until arriving at disproportionately high numbers in favor of Fetterman.
And they changed a lot of rules to let anything “count” and the Post Office delivered.
Pretty “low tech” stuff aimed at what Pennsylvania had set up for voting.
