A second firm hired by Trump campaign found no evidence of election fraud
WaPo ^ | 04/27/2023 | Josh Dawsey

Former president Trump’s campaign quietly commissioned a second firm to study election fraud claims in the weeks after the 2020 election, and the founder of the firm was recently questioned by the Justice Department about his work disproving the claims.

Ken Block, founder of the firm Simpatico Software Systems, studied more than a dozen voter fraud theories and allegations for Trump’s campaign in late 2020 and found they were “all false,” he said in an interview with The Washington Post.

“No substantive voter fraud was uncovered in my investigations looking for it, nor was I able to confirm any of the outside claims of voter fraud that I was asked to look at,” he said. “Every fraud claim I was asked to investigate was false.”

Block said he recently received a subpoena from special counsel Jack Smith’s office and met with federal prosecutors in Washington, but he declined to discuss his interactions with them. Block said he contemporaneously sent his findings disputing fraud claims in writing to the Trump campaign in late 2020...

Prosecutors are trying to show that Trump and his advisers definitively knew — or had good reason to believe — that their myriad fraud claims were false as they continued to spread and fundraise off the claims. The claims ultimately convinced many voters the election was stolen and inspired rioters to storm the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The falsehoods also brought in more than $250 million to Trump and his allies.

Key to building such a case, experts say, is proving that Trump and other advisers making the claims publicly did not believe them or had evidence to know they were false.

“Good news, Ken.

Your family is now safe.

Thanks for your cooperation.”

Best Wishes,

The Deep State.

Anyone who has seen the undeniable video footage of ballot drops of arm fulls of ballots in D'Sousa's "2000 Mules" cannot credibly say that there is no evidence of fraud. Cell phone tracking confirms these crimes.

And they were CRIMES.

Finally! Proof that there was no fraud! Trump even paid for the investigation! I was so wrong, and I am so sorry! I was so misled and it's my fault! The flawless Washington Post wrote something all about it, so now my eyes are open! Everyone knows and loves our Dear Leader, Biden! We love him so much that he doesn't need to campaign or debate! We will sing songs and write poems and praise him forever! Our children are his, and humanity is saved!

“That’s a nice family you got there, Ken. Would be a terrible shame if something were to happen to them.

“Now, get back to your ‘investigation’ and make us proud!”

“...semimojo,

I’m curious, why are you on freerepublic?”

Every forum needs its trolls and sowers of discord.

Boomerang set up. When Trump wins in a blowout they will be trapped by their lies.

We are to believe that the only “glitches” that occur are the ones which are called out.

That’s a picture of an unofficial tally, it means nothing.

Graphs are not evidence. You have to name specific people in specific places doing specific things. Otherwise it is incoherent nonsense that will persuade no one.

Neither was keeping poll watchers 12 feet from the counting tables - all they could see were the backs of the ballots.

Then of course the famous shut down, when every one was forced to leave, except certain people who pulled boxes and boxes of ballots out and ran them thru the counting machines several times, no evidence of cheating there either.

Nor were college student registered in their college town and in their home town voting in both places.

No evidence. None.

It seems so.

There’s plenty of evidence the 2020 election was stolen, but simply proving it happened is worthless if the audit trail is erased.

Without the audit trail, which they carefully destroyed, a stolen election can’t be corrected.

It’s like a bank robbery. There’s plenty of evidence it happened: the vault is empty! But knowing the money was stolen is worthless if you can’t track down the thieves and get your money back.

Polls closed early.
Observers kicked out.
5AM vote dumps of 130,000 ballots going 99% for Biden.
Sequential batches of ballots with the same ratio of Biden to Trump to three decimal places.
Ward County (Chicago) unable to verify 3/4 the ballots right after certifying it.
Evidence the election computers were not air gapped from the internet.

How hard is it to do basic stats like frequency distribution and ratios on a excel spreadsheet?!

For being ignorant, we sure do know a lot. What do you know? Anything? I know, you think Biden actually got 81 million votes when not even Obama got above 67 million.

You always have been a liberal troll, idiot.
