Steve Bannon Demands Arizona Refuse To Certify Election After Massive Election Errors Discovered
Republic Brief ^ | 11/15/2022 | Jeff Miller

Posted on 11/15/2022 9:51:32 PM PST by SeekAndFind

The left is doing everything it can to foil those who are calling for election integrity as a major race for governor has just been called.

The election for Arizona governor has been called for Democrat Katie Hobbs, who is literally the AZ Secretary of State and oversaw the counting processes. The voting procedures saw massive failures, especially in Maricopa County, shockingly, where there were major problems in the 2020 presidential election.

The ultra-left Media Matters for America (MMfA) did a hit piece on Steve Bannon who just called for the Arizona governor’s race not to be certified.

Here’s the garbage that MMfA had to say about Bannon’s call for election integrity and answers to what happened in Arizona.

“Echoing the stolen election rhetoric that led to the deadly January 6 insurrection, former Trump strategist and podcaster Steve Bannon and his guests are now calling for Arizona election officials to refuse to certify the midterm election results.”

The MMfA article went on: “Bannon was instrumental in plotting the January 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and often discussed his plans on his show, War Room: Pandemic. Bannon is again pushing the same dangerous rhetoric claiming that Democrats stole an election. This exact conspiracy theory is what led droves of MAGA supporters to attempt to stop the 2020 presidential election certification.”

Since MMfA is full of crap, we decided to transcribe part of Bannon’s War Room show where he spoke with True the Vote leaders Gregg Phillips and Catherine Engelbrecht who were recently released from jail.

According to the Texas Tribune “They’d been held for contempt of court since Halloween, having repeatedly refused to release the name of a man they called a “confidential FBI informant” who is a person of interest in a defamation and hacking case against them.”
Gregg Phillips and Catherine Engelbrecht

Here’s the transcription where Bannon and the True the Vote leaders call for the AZ race not to be certified.

Bannon opened the show saying, “It’s horrific, but, We got a chance, we got some leverage the debt ceiling and a majority in the House of Representatives. We’re going to go now to an absolutely embarrassing fiasco that’s playing out in front of the world on the world stage yes that would be the election in Arizona that is day-by-day being stolen from Kari Lake.”

Bannon Gregg Phillips and Catherine Engelbrecht are not people that kneel to anybody but Christ.

I want to go back to Katherine for a second. Catherine I met you I think 12, 13 maybe 14 years ago. King Street Tea Party Patriots. But then you quickly you turned that into because you guys realize right down in Houston I think it was. You guys realized right away ‘hey there is something not right about these elections,’ right?

This is Texas and nobody’s thinking about Texas going Blue or anything like that. You formed True the Vote. You and Greg have worked on this for over a decade. I use to go down to your seminars and talk 12 years ago and you guys were into the details in the weeds about what’s happening.

Give us your assessment ma’am, now that you’ve been sprung from jail, give us your assessment of the situation in Arizona as you see it as an expert in elections ma’am.

Engelbrecht: The fraud has been institutionalized. The engineered chaos that was… remains to be seen whose hand was at the wheel when the tabulator settings were changed or who was getting the direction on where Door 3 ballots should be placed and it was different polling place to polling place to polling place to keep voters away. The process is so fundamentally broken and why we are not out as advocates of Liberty why we are not out with lawsuits all over the place already to stop this madness I’m not certain, but that’s what we intend to find out here now on the ground and hopefully, things are going to change back. But fraud has been institutionalized and we need to WAKE up, because, it’s not going to get any better.

WATCH:

CLICK ABOVE ARTICLE LINK FOR THE VIDEO

Bannon: Greg can you jump in here before we go to break in a minute? I’ma hold you guys through the break. Jim Hoft and others, I have to have a lot of other people coming on.

Engineered chaos. They started the week, they started Tuesday morning with Mr. Rogers coming out saying hey we have a great day but 26% of our voting centers the machine, one of every 5 ballots is not going through and then just kind of some airy-fairy thing that people have 3 hour, 2 1/2 and 3 hour waits is that what you refer to, is that what Catherine referred to, engineered chaos? Is that we’re talking about?

Phillips: Yeah absolutely right, Steve. The challenge that they’re facing down here as the people were literally turned away. People were disenfranchised, they were told to get out of line, they were told to leave. We learned last night, we had something like fifteen hundred calls to Catherine’s election integrity hotline. People were telling us things that were just almost unbelievable. Just put them in, you know Door 3 over here and everything will be okay. We learned last night that as those boxes began to fill out they told him just to throw him into a Tupperware box and they will count them later. People were literally walking away and never got to vote. We got disenfranchisement. We’ve got not just a broken process, but a process designed to steal and not to mention the fact of course that you have Katie Hobbs, depending on where this thing goes, maybe certifying the, our own stolen election. How can it be?

Engelbrecht: We have to stop the certification.

Bannon: Yes we have to stop the certification.

Investigation as in exposing to the media and law enforcement as you pointed out Mike Lindell nor anyone else has gotten very trying to do that

What I’m saying is investigate on exactly how it’s being done in order to combat it they similar or the same methods

I did say if can’t beat them join them

Doesn’t seem to hard to understand

Same comments when Biden cheated. “we must find out why and fix it” and it never happened and it will not happen here. Fighting back is the only way out sitting back is not

We can do drop boxes too. One GOP winning house rep in Orange County filled a drop box of ballots from his Vietnamese church.

Thanks to the corrupt dems and the do-nothing RINOs, we now know exactly what is NOT considered vote fraud. We know that ballot mules depositing dozens or hundreds of ballots each into remote drop boxes with no chain of custody is NOT vote fraud. We also know that party operatives collecting ballots from people and offering to fill them in for them, like the Grinch taking your Christmas tree to fix that one light that won’t light, is NOT vote fraud. And we know that individual voters receiving (and presumably returning) far more than one ballot each is most definitely NOT vote fraud.

So, for 2024 MAGA Republicans should take advantage of these “not vote fraud” techniques and hand out ballots (the more the better) to every attendee at every Trump rally and collect them as people are exiting. This collection of voted ballots would then be dropped off at the nearest collection center, or better yet held back to be delivered as late as possible within the window allowed on Election Day. Those collecting them at the rallies would also offer to fill them in for the voters if they don’t have the time or aren’t sure how to vote.

This service could also be expanded by taking jobs as poll workers and, being the helpful, conscientious types we are, working extra hours, when everyone else has gone home (or putting our lives on the line to save others when a life-threatening plumbing leak occurs) and diligently scanning Republican ballots into the tabulators multiple times, you know…to make sure they were accurately counted. Because that has even been studied on video and found to absolutely, positively NOT constitute vote fraud.

So next time, we can not only win but feel all warm and fuzzy inside for how much we “helped” people to vote and fought back against “voter suppression.”

every day I come across short video clips of what is alleged to be continuing, massive, daily protests over fraud in the Brazilian election. never know if they are correctly dated, but they certainly are not being reported by the MSM anywhere. if they are real, it’s a terrible indictment of the monolithic nature of the MSM:

VIDEO: 21sec: Brasilia, Bolsonaro supporters, 15th November
But yet they want you to think it’s the ex-convict that people voted for…

I’m just throw out ideas and not for continuing to do the same things that have continually failed.

One thing the Democrats do is funnel money into dozens of Non-Profits under the guise of “election outreach” or some other made up story.

One of the purposes of all the Non-Profits is paying for the cheating, like all the mules in the movie 2000 Mules.

Added to that you hear candidates and their supporters saying they knocked on 1000s of doors to turn out the vote.

Turn out is unimportant in all mail in voting, it’s just a matter of coloring in a bubble and mailing in the ballot.

The cheating starts with bad voter rolls, dead people, people who have moved, etc., are all going to get ballots in all mail in voting.

The Democrats also concentrate their cheating in areas that are likely to vote for them regardless of the candidate.

I would suggest Republicans do the same, knock on doors as a non-profit, don’t advocate for any candidate but just ask if the person has received multiple ballots and what they have done with them.

Ask for the ballots to be turned over for the reason of eliminating potential fraudulent ballots, etc...

I’m very open to ideas but complaining about the situation and demanding something be done like a do over in Arizona is stupid, it will never happen, and you are still vulnerable for the next election.

No we can't. If there is even a whiff of Republicans using the same methods as Democrats to win, they will find themselves in the DC dungeon sharing a cell with J6 people. That drop box from the Vietnamese church will be 'investigated' I predict.

It has been said in states where ballot harvesting has been made legal it will never be reversed. In otherwords, the prediction I made 15 years ago that Republicans will eventually get to where they can never get elected again has in fact started happening. It isnt entirely the way I thought it would happen but it is happening, unfortunately.

And you can thank RINO-controlled state legislatures for this.

They were happy to allow cheat-by-mail-in ballots and drop boxes to get rid of Trump, and now they are here to stay.

A Bumper Crop of Democracy

Bringing in the sheaves, one dropbox at a time

https://neociceroniantimes.substack.com/p/a-bumper-crop-of-democracy

If the reader might bear with me for a moment, I’d like to tell you all a mystery story. There was once a country that was having an election. Going into this election, one party - the party in power - was unpopular, trailing in the polls, and led by a president with abysmal approval ratings and who is widely understood to be senile. This party’s policies had resulted in widespread economic damage to the nation, creating rates of inflation unseen for forty years, doubling gas prices, and harming the broad middle of the country financially. Further, this same party was pursuing social policies that created a widespread backlash against its radicalism and had already been contributing to electoral problems for it in previous local and off-year elections all across the land. Even in swing states, this party’s candidates were behind in the polls and the widespread expectation from all quarters was that it was going to suffer a wideout in the upcoming election.

Yet in a baffling and practically inexplicable turn of events, when the day of the election came, this party became the beneficiary of an astoundingly fortuitous chain of events that rescued it from certain peril! Voting machines curiously broke down or otherwise became inoperable in precincts where the other party made up a majority. Meanwhile, in swing state districts which this party coincidentally happens to control, voting didn’t end on election night, but box after box after box of ballots kept coming in, being counted by officials in secret with no outside oversight. In one state, in a race in which two ladies were running for governor, the one lady who belonged to this party (and who also happened to be in the office that oversees elections), benefited from the mysterious breakdowns and never-ending counting that was carried out in an especially cryptic manner, allowing her to certify herself as the winner. By this same formula, the party in question managed to eke out narrow wins in basically every contested governorship and senate race that they needed to retain their political control.

Except in this case, it’s not really a mystery what happened in this past election. Indeed, the answer is pretty obvious - and that answer is called “ballot harvesting,” as well as the broader fact that wherever Democrats hold power, there will be shady, fraudulent goings-on that always seem to benefit in one direction.

So what is ballot harvesting? Basically, it’s a system that exists to game the mail-in voting that most states have adopted, especially since the covid plandemic. In theory, mail-in voting is supposed to be a way for people who are unable to vote in person to still be able to cast their ballot by having someone they trust take their filled-out ballot to a drop off point where it may then be collected and counted on election day.

However, how it often tends to work in practice is that local Democratic Party operatives at the precinct level will “request” ballots for people in their neighborhoods, and these ballots are then “harvested” from the addresses after they are sent, are filled out, and stored for election day (often the “voter” doesn’t even know this has happened). When election day comes, these ballots will then be mixed in with the legitimate mail-in ballots cast by actual voters so that they can’t be distinguished from the real votes. Because the norm is now for the vote counting in large Democrat-ran districts (e.g. Maricopa County, Fulton County, Clark County, Philadelphia, etc.) to extend over days, the combination of this with no outside supervision means that more and more boxes of these “fortified” votes will be opened and counted until the Democrat candidate is able to squeak ahead by just enough of a margin to avoid a full recount and greater scrutiny.

Everything about the process in these locations is designed to facilitate this pattern. It’s why they kick out GOP election observers, why they count the votes in secret (even covering windows!), why voting machines always seem to break down at the most opportune times, why they wait until “regular” districts are done reporting so they know on a moment-by-moment basis just how many votes they need to break out to put them over the top. I mean, even the news media get in on the action by “predicting” weeks in advance that “the process of counting all the votes may not be finished for days!” As it turns out, Atlanta’s “burst pipe” on election day in 2020 wasn’t a fluke but was a template for the future. From here on out, unless something drastic is done about it, expect to see 2020 repeated indefinitely - go to sleep on election night seeing the GOP with large leads everywhere only to wake up to find that those leads evaporated completely. So while the Democrats may not be very good at winning the vote on election day, they basically have a lock on the post-election voting.

It’s pretty simple. While Republicans were going on TV saying how bad Democrats are and who will be investigated, Democrats were out canvassing neighborhoods harvesting paper ballots. You don’t need voters to win mail in ballots, you need ballots completed.

Polls for Lake were wrong because you can’t poll people that don’t know they are voting or know who they are voting for.

It’s doubtful these were “errors”. It’s more likely these were crimes that need to be investigated and the criminals identified and prosecuted.

Right. Nothing fishy about that.

How convenient that the candidate gets to count the votes and it takes two weeks to do it.

Also, Just an idea, maybe what we need is a sting. People need to go to jail.

Get a few volunteers to carry cameras, and infiltrate.

Some guy like James O’keefe.

Get people in swing states to volunteer.

That’s not a bad idea, a lot of people have to be involved in the cheating, the more people involved the more you might be able to find someone to be a mole and help uncover the fraud.

Throwing around ideas on what to do has to be better than repeating the same losing ideas that we have now.

Most of the ideas I or anyone else puts forward probably will turn out to be nothing but it’s better than what’s happening now.

Who finally certifies? The AZ Legislature? Governor? SOS Hobbs?

Protestors need to go wherever it is by the millions and show strength. Intimidate the hell out of them.
