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.

The fraud was in the open. Kicking out poll watchers, covering windows. Others were caught on cameras. Suitcases of ballots, mass ballot stuffing of boxes, feeding of the same ballots to be counted over and over, the lies about reasons the swing states shutting down at the same time

the list is too long to go over

You don’t have to, but your argument will not be persuasive if you cannot say who did the thing you allege, especially if there is no specific act that you are alleging.

Tens of thousands of assaultive and property crimes are committed in this country every year, a vast majority of which are never solved - i.e., a name is not put with the crime, even though a crime is well established to have been committed. The dead bodies and permanent injuries prove that beyond any doubt.

Do we compile crime statistics based ONLY on the crimes which are identified, solved and successfully prosecuted? According to your rationale, we should.

again, many more votes were recorded in 2020 over 2012, just short of 30 million; additionally, 2020 had much less 3rd party influence...Trump exceeded Obama’s top count by 5 million, and given that the total vote of 158.5 million votes were basically spread over just two contestants the results are not all that surprising...

Lets try this again...

because now you just deserve it.

“many more votes were recorded in 2020 over 2012” What kind of bull shit word salad is that? Of course more votes were “recorded” That is the whole point of the fraud.

A guy who spent the entire campaign cycle sitting in his basement wit 8 people showing up at his “rallies” got that many more “recorded” votes than Obama?

Just stop now because you suck at this. You aren’t about to get the WH spokesman job for a dem any time soon. Even JK is better than you and damn, she sure as hell set the bar low.

Well, I have been told that every forum needs its trolls and sowers of discord. You have found your reason for being. All is well with the universe.

I would love to see the names and precincts of that 30,000,000 voters.

And compare that to the voter rolls from the Obama elections.

A would bet a large percentage of those voters are completely untraceable.

Well, since the Biden admin is rushing to bring in more illegals, etc., there is your answer. 2 million more this year so far.

Voter turnout percentages are based on ELIGIBLE voters. Not registered voters. And if you go to the trouble of registering, you’re probably going to vote.

I’ve looked at all of the detailed allegations that I could. I watched Lindell’s stuff. None of it holds up. Both Trump and Biden had lots of people vote for them who did not like them. Instead, they really disliked the other guy. Tons of people hated Trump who did not like Biden. This is a very simple thing to understand.

Ah! But have you looked at the Obama 2008 Vote Fraud Detection tool?

Using the tool, you can see where the national DNC vote fraud machine shifts its ballots around like soldiers in a large military campaign, with none the wiser.

As I've posted before - the 2020 "election" was proof-of-concept.

The 2022 "election" was ENGINEERED for specific outcomes.

Hence, the Red Ripple.

For one example, all the Florida ballot fraud money was shifted from Florida to the various US Senate races to secure the Senate for the Democrats.

Biden’s official margin was 7 million votes, not 12 million.

Over Trump. His margin over Barack Obama, the pinnacle of Democrat vote getting, was 12 million.

Biden got 12 million more votes than the best ever Democrat vote getter.

Sounds like Trump hired another bunch of anti-American bozos. There was fraud and everyone knows it. Everybody. It’s just you make more money and more people like you if you say there wasn’t any fraud.
