Atty general cracks down on whistleblower alleging Michigan vote issues
lifesitenews ^ | 11/13/2020 | Emily Mangiaracina

The audio recording captures key sound bites of an instructor teaching procedures that buck previous safeguards of election integrity.

(LifeSiteNews) — Leaked audio from a poll worker training session, recently posted online with commentary by reporter Shane Trejo, reveals that poll worker procedures were taught in Detroit that leave ballot-counting vulnerable to fraud, prompting Michigan attorney general Dana Nessel to issue a letter to Trejo demanding that he “cease and desist use of #Detroit Leaks video across all media platforms.”

The October 28 audio recording captures key sound bites of an instructor teaching procedures — most of which are now official in Michigan — that buck previous safeguards of election integrity.

Trejo begins the audio exposé with a clip of the instructor telling trainees that poll-watchers and challengers have to stay six feet away from them on Election Day. One trainee began to ask, “So the six feet back, unless they have really good vision, they can’t actually see — ”

“Exactly. Unless they got really good vision or they brought their binoculars,” the instructor replied, triggering laughter from the trainees.

Michigan’s initial 2020 election training policy incorporated social distancing guidelines demanding that even poll-watchers and challengers keep six feet of distance from election workers. However, this policy was legally challenged, and the very same day of the training captured in the audio — Oct. 28 — a settlement was reached in court that allowed for poll-watchers and challengers to stand closer to election workers as needed.

The agreement stated that while challengers and poll-watchers “should maintain at least six feet of distance between themselves and election workers and voters as reasonably possible,” they were also “permitted” to “temporarily stand in closer proximity to election workers” in order to perform their legal duties.

It was declared during the court proceedings that “amended written guidance” expressing the substance of the agreement should be issued to local election officials “no later than” October 29 at 5 P.M.

It is unclear whether election workers received the memo, as there are numerous reports of poll-watchers and challengers in Detroit being prevented from observing election workers, and even from entering a vote-counting hall.

The leaked audio also reveals that poll workers are being trained to submit challenged ballots, which are filled out by voters whose eligibility is in question, together with unchallenged ballots into the tabulating machine. This procedure all but defeats the point of challenging a ballot, as it means that the challenged ballots are automatically counted except possibly in the event of a recount, as Trejo points out in his commentary:

All challenged ballots WILL be counted immediately on Election Night, and only if, after the fact, a challenged ballot is rejected, will an election official locate the ballot box, break the seal, and fish out the challenged ballot from the pile of thousands to find the one with the Post-It tape covering up the challenged ballot number.”

In the leaked audio, the instructor is heard saying, “How do you challenge a ballot? You take the ballot, you write under the barcode, 2003, and you cover it with what kind of tape? Post-It! The Post-It tape! But this time, you’re going to put it in the secrecy sleeve, and Mr. Stark is going to vote as normal. So his ballot is going through what? The tabulator.”

Michigan’s attorney general, Dana Nessel, demanded that Trejo remove all #DetroitLeaks videos in her “cease and desist” letter, dated Oct. 28, and accuses him of “intentionally misleading and altering information pertaining to elections.”

She claims in her letter, “At 6:36, you state that challenged ballots will be tabulated and cannot be uncounted later. This is a false statement as the challenger has six days to prove the improper vote.”

It is unclear just what Nessel is referring to here, as Trejo’s precise comment at 6:36 in the video refers to “regular,” not “challenged,” votes: “A vote processed as a ‘regular voter’ on Election Day will be tabulated and cannot be un-counted later.”

One of the points highlighted by Trejo in the leaked audio is that voters can present an “easily forged piece of paper” to demonstrate their voter registration on Election Day.

The instructor is heard explaining to her class that people who have registered to vote only a day or two before Election Day, and whose registration therefore won’t appear in the system, can present a paper receipt as proof of registration.

Trejo maintains that “it only takes a crude forgery for anyone to vote, anywhere,” and that “anyone with the know-how could generate thousands of fake late-registration receipts. Complete with valid address and polling location address.”

In the audio recording, a trainee is heard asking what to do if poll challengers start “yelling and making a scene.” The instructor replies, “9-1-1. They got standards, they got conduct standards. If they make a scene, get ’em up out of there. Call the police on them.”

The last instruction revealed in the leaked audio refers to a scenario when someone comes in to the poll to vote, but his record indicates that an absentee ballot was “sent and received.” In this case, the trainees are instructed: “Do not issue him a ballot!” If that person protests, saying he hasn’t voted, and gets “loud” or “rude,” students are instructed to provide him a “provisional envelope.”

The instructor exclaims, “Why? Where’s it goin’? Not in the tabulator! It’s goin’ in that envelope, right? We have how many days? Six! So what is the Department of Elections going to do with it? Destroy it!”

Trejo explains in his video why this is a problem: “[The] trainer assumes the voter has already voted absentee. Unsaid is the possibility the absentee ballot was stolen, or some other error possibly occurred.”

Trejo commented to LifeSiteNews, “There is a terror campaign against whistleblowers that is underway. We need to support whistleblowers as they fight to save our republic.”

“This vote steal is the most ghastly crime in U.S. history. We cannot let it stand. Officials are issuing these threats because they’re scared of getting caught."

I am not an attorney, but what exactly is the legal basis for the AG to make threats like this?

Here is the audio/video that the AG wanted removed. The audio is damning and it also has images of the documents which the poll trainer calls out on the audio.

I hope they arrest the woman on the audio

The cucking funt Nessel also blew up the dams in lower Michigan with a threat letter.

She needs her carpet-munching teeth folded back.

Happened here too, to the man in this video. It is described at the end, and he had to go pro se in court.

interesting points at minute 14, 42-44, and 56. Should watch the whole video.

The situation is even further out than it seems. Time to storm one’s legislators, I think.

Here is how it is being done - in a manner which can be grasped and explained by we who are not IT people or mathematicians. Am watching it now, and will watch again, in order to do just that. Very very important - most likely best to watch before it is pulled.

The votes are not being counted. They are being estimated by machines, and being manipulated in real-time.

Am watching again to make sure I understand and can disseminate the info. Also re record for re upload. This should go to Rumble, too.

The AG should be more concerned with what her Poll trainer is saying on the audio during the training sessions. The audio is of the trainer in her own words. After watching and hearing what happened on election once you hear the audio you know that it was a concerted effort to steal the election in many different ways.

Here is the audio

I am a genuine fan of Mr. Wood, but Joe DeGinova has been saying stuff like this for years and nothing has happened.

In a sane and just world, there would be accountability and honest investigations, but I am still waiting.

Yeah, it’s pretty bad. However, the ends justifies the means for the left.

21 Nov 2019: The Hill: DHS cyber agency invests in election auditing tool to secure 2020 elections
BY MAGGIE MILLER
The Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) cybersecurity agency announced Thursday it would partner with election officials and private sector groups to develop an election auditing tool that can be used to help ensure the accuracy of votes in 2020.
DHS’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is partnering with non-profit group ***VotingWorks on an open-source software tool known as Arlo, which is provided to state and local election officials for free.

According to CISA, Arlo conducts an audit of votes by selecting how many ballots and which ballots to audit and comparing the audited votes to the original count.
“Heading into 2020, we’re exploring all possible ways that we can support state and local election officials while also ensuring that Americans across the country can confidently cast their votes,” CISA Director Christopher Krebs said in a statement.
Krebs added that “At a time when we know foreign actors are attempting to interfere and cast doubt on our democratic processes, it’s incredibly important elections are secure, resilient, and transparent.”

Use of post-election audits have been widely recommended by experts as a major step to secure elections, particularly in the wake of attempted Russian interference in 2016.
The use of audits was a step recommended by the Senate Intelligence Committee to secure elections in volume one of its bipartisan report on Russian interference efforts in 2016...

VotingWorks is a left-of-center non-profit provider of voting machines and open-source election verification software. In November 2019, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced it would partner with VotingWorks to pilot the use of its vote verification software in six battleground states during the November 2020 election. In April 2020, responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, VotingWorks announced it would be providing technological assistance to states and local jurisdictions seeking to scale-up voting by mail opportunities...

VotingWorks was created within and incubated by the left-leaning Center for Democracy and Technology (CDT) in December 2018 and later and spun off as a separate non-profit. CDT’s major donors are large technology firms, such as Amazon, Google, Facebook, Apple, and Microsoft; and large left-of-center foundations, including George Soros’s Foundation to Promote Open Society, the Ford Foundation, and the MacArthur Foundation...

Take one step back. The people in power are in power because of a crooked system, and will lose power if the system is revealed.

Those people have a vested interest in maintaining status quo, and will ALWAYS claim the system is honest and infallible.

Infallible enough anyway, small fraud of course, like petty shoplift. But no systemic fraud.

There is systemic fraud.
