Newt Gingrich: I Never Thought the Election Would Be This Corrupt

President Donald Trump has long considered the American election process rigged for Democrats, but, according to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, it might only get worse. “Not only do you have crooked politicians running crooked elections, but you have crooked . . . Internet companies deliberately censoring and biasing,” Gingrich told Sunday’s “The Cats Roundtable” on WABC 770 AM-N.Y. Unless this presidential election’s corruption is exposed, Republicans will face too many obstacles to winning a fair election in the future, Gingrich told host John Catsimatidis. “It’s not about Donald Trump,” Gingrich continued. “It’s about your right as an American citizen to assume that your vote is sacred – to assume that every legal vote will be counted, and that illegal votes will not be counted – because otherwise the illegal votes drowned out the legal votes and cheat the legal citizens of their right to representation. “I never thought it would be this corrupt.” Gingrich noted a “number of corporate lobbyists” in the prospective Biden administration “almost guarantees it may be the most corrupt administration since Harding in 1921.” “The Hunter Biden stuff is real,” he added. “The amount of money coming out of China, Russia and Ukraine is real. The degree to which all of that has been covered up is real. I think all of us have to recognize how serious a problem this is.” And now the two Jan. 5 Georgia Senate runoffs will be compromised, too, according to Gingrich. “Unless [Republicans] fix this, they’re going to have a hard time winning the election,” he concluded. “The Democrats have nominated two left-wingers who, in an honest election, could not possibly win an election. Therefore, the only hope the Democrats have is to find a way to steal it. “Given what they did in the presidential election, I think it’s a very great danger that they will find a way to steal it.”
Rand Paul Says Fraud Was in states where Trump lost, calls out Big Tech

These supposed “vote spikes” occurred in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia, according an analysis cited by Paul. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., on Sunday Said statistical “fraud” was found in four states where President Donald Trump lost in the presidential election during supposed “data dumps” in the middle of the night and early morning. “Interesting . . . Trump margin of “defeat” in 4 states occurred in 4 data dumps between 1:34-6:31 AM,” the Republican Senator tweeted. “Statistical anomaly? Fraud? Look at the evidence and decide for yourself. (That is, if Big Tech allows u to read this)” By Sunday afternoon, the tweet was flagged with the warning: “This claim about election fraud is disputed.” The tweet included a link to an article, “Anomalies in Vote Counts and Their Effects on Election 2020,” which aimed to demonstrate how Democratic candidate Joe Biden supposedly received “vote spikes” in the early hours of Nov. 4, 2020. These supposed “vote spikes” occurred in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia, according to the analysis. It goes on to argue, that these vote spikes in favor of Biden cut into Trump’s lead – claims that echo the president’s own unsubstantiated claims. Biden earned 306 electoral votes to Trump’s 232, the same margin that Trump had when he beat Hillary Clinton in 2016, which he repeatedly described as a “landslide.” (Trump ended up with 304 electoral votes because two electors defected.) Biden achieved victory by prevailing in key states such as Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona and Georgia. Trump’s allegations of massive voting fraud have been refuted by a variety of judges, state election officials and an arm of his own administration’s Homeland Security Department. Many of his campaign’s lawsuits across the country have been thrown out of court. No case has established irregularities of a scale that would change the outcome. Lawsuits that remain do not contain evidence that would flip the result.
Another Dominion server Fix delays recount in Georgia’s Fulton County

Election officials in Georgia’s Fulton County told a local news outlet Sunday that a newly purchased Dominion Voting Systems mobile server crashed that delayed the state’s third recount of the presidential election and technicians from the company “have been dispatched to resolve the issue.” 11Alive.com reported that the Georgia Secretary of State’s office is aware of the efforts to “resolve the problem.” The report indicated that about 88% of the ballots in the state’s largest county have been counted and the recount will resume again on Monday. The deadline to complete the recount is Dec. 2. Joe Biden defeated President Trump by about 13,000 votes in the Peach State, but Trump and his legal team have challenged the results. Trump has expressed frustration with state leaders over how both the election and vote count were handled and has been vocal in his criticism of top Republicans in the state. Trump told Fox News on Sunday that Gov. Brian Kemp has done “absolutely nothing” to question the results and has also called Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger an “enemy of the people” for allowing what he called a “fraudulent system” to persist in the state. Video Raffensperger certified the election result on Nov. 2, and Kemp signed off on it. WSB-TV pointed to an op-ed that Raffensperger wrote last week where he said the election seemed as though it was “wildly successful” and “smooth.” “This should be something for Georgians to celebrate, whether their favored presidential candidate won or lost. For those wondering, mine lost — my family voted for him, donated to him, and are now being thrown under the bus by him,” he wrote. The 11Alive report said the server that crashed was newly purchased but additional details were not immediately clear. Emails from Fox News to Dominion and Raffensperger were not immediately returned. Trump and his supporters have insisted that he won the election and it is only due to widespread fraud that Biden was declared the winner. Trump’s critics say he clearly lost and has yet to provide evidence to suggest the contrary. Trump said in an interview Sunday that his Department of Justice has been “missing in action.” He also questioned the whereabouts of the FBI. “You would think if you’re in the FBI or Department of Justice, this is the biggest thing you could be looking at. Where are they? I’ve not seen anything,” he said. https://youtu.be/2sT2wlni7OU Last week, Michael Steel, a spokesman for Dominion denied claims that vote cast through the company’s systems were at risk of being altered. He said it is physically impossible to alter votes in the system. “Look, when a voter votes on a Dominion machine, they fill out a ballot on a touch screen. They are given a printed copy which they then give to a local election official for safekeeping. If any electronic interference had taken place, the tally reported electronically would not match the printed ballots. and in every case where we’ve looked at — in Georgia, all across the country — the printed ballot, the gold standard in election security, has matched the electronic tally,” he said. Trump’s campaign launched several lawsuits challenging the voting systems and processes in a number of key battleground states, including Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Sidney Powell, a high-powered lawyer who is investigating the election results, retweeted an order by Federal Judge Timothy C. Batten that orders the state to “maintain the status quo” of the voting machines in the state and ruled that these machines cannot be wiped or reset until further notice.
FBI Finally Looking Into Voter Fraud

A tidal wave of reports over alleged voter fraud and other irregularities in the 2020 election cycle should keep FBI investigators busy for the foreseeable future, that is if FBI Director Christopher Wray’s investigators care to look. The FBI has been accused of turning a blind eye as hundreds of witnesses step forward and mountains of evidence pile up suggesting a lot of funny business took place during the Nov. 3 election. But could that be changing? Matt Braynard, a former data chief and strategist for the Trump campaign, and his team at The Voter Integrity Project have conducted a review of ballot and election results in the 2020 election. Braynard went through his team’s work in a recent video, revealing the troubling findings his team uncovered in the course of their research. Braynard now says the FBI has reached out to him and his team asking for them to hand over evidence underlying their findings. According to Braynard, his team’s findings have been or will be included in court filings in the states of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin and Arizona. The Voter Integrity Project discovered several irregularities and significant discrepancies in states where Biden leads the president by a narrow margin. Braynard calls the findings extremely accessible and easy to understand, characterizing his work as something separate from conspiracy theories or other complicated statistical analyses that are difficult for the layperson to understand. Perhaps that’s why the FBI is interested in taking a look at Braynard’s work. “Everything I brought to you here is incredibly accessible. It’s all easy to understand,” said Braynard. Among the recommendations that Braynard has for election reforms going forward is the use of a third party to audit state registration files. Braynard also encourages states to authenticate requests for absentee ballots and attach dates of birth to voter records. Braynard suggests the use of fingerprints to match absentee ballot requests to registered voters. He also called for election equipment to use open source software so that election data can be reviewed. Braynard says more details about his findings will be released in the coming days, including a white paper and audit of his team’s work. The full video of Braynard outlining his team’s findings is available here.
