The Donald Trump Score Card

The Florida firm Cyber Ninjas had been stating that showing how it was protecting the privacy of the voters would have given away its trade secrets.

A judge didn't agree.

Those promoting the recount have boasted about its supposed transparency..



Judge Slaps Down Election Recount Firm Hired By Arizona GOP Senate

excerpt:

"But Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Daniel Martin said he was concerned “that the rights of the voters in Maricopa County” be protected and ordered Cyber Ninjas to turn over documents explaining the methods being used to review the 2.1 million 2020 ballots cast in the county, which includes Phoenix. The recount began last week.

The recount result appears headed for a foregone conclusion. Months before the process started, Cyber Ninjas owner Doug Logan retweeted messages claiming that an audit would find hundreds of thousands of new votes for Donald Trump.

The Washington Post reported Thursday that Trump asks “multiple times a day” about Cyber Ninjas recount updates. He’s reportedly transfixed by the operation’s examination of the ballots with ultraviolet light, which some experts believe could damage them, according to the Post."

 

Logan, who is heading the recount in AZ, was on a re-tweet campaign promoting truther narratives about the 2020 election, including one made by convicted and Trump-pardoned Michael Flynn who thinks China, Serbia, Italy, Germany, and Iran interfered with the election.



Arizona Senate hires a 'Stop the Steal' advocate to lead 2020 election audit

excerpt:

"Also in December, Logan retweeted Ron Watkins — a conspiracy theorist and former administrator of 8chan who has promoted QAnon and is believed by some to have run the Q account — that claimed an audit of the election might show that “Trump got 200k more votes than previously reported in Arizona.” Watkins had retweeted a tweet from Arizona Republican Party Chairwoman Kelli Ward that made a similar claim and questioned the role of Dominion Voting Systems, the vendor who provides Maricopa County’s ballot tabulation machines and a frequent focus of accusations and conspiracy theories by Trump supporters.

And two weeks after the election, Logan tweeted that “Dominion servers in German WERE grabbed by ‘the good guys’ in Germany,” promoting a false conspiracy theory that some Trump supporters spread after the election.

Logan retweeted a comment from attorney Sidney Powell, a Trump supporter who brought failed lawsuits challenging the election results in Arizona and other swing states where Biden defeated Trump.

And he retweeted a tweet from Michael Flynn, Trump’s former national security advisor who advocated the use of martial law to overturn the election results, asking “How many overseas connections are we talking about involved in our 3 NOV election? Are there any foreign countries NOT interfering in our elections? China, Serbia, Italy, Germany, Iran. WTH!”"

The investigation of Giuliani may be related to his shadow government scheme to oust Yovanovitch.

Firing of U.S. Ambassador Is at Center of Giuliani Investigation

excerpt:

"One of the search warrants for Giuliani’s phones and computers explicitly stated that the possible crimes under investigation included violations of the law, the Foreign Agents Registration Act, according to the people with knowledge of the matter.

Giuliani has long denied that he did work at the behest of the Ukrainians, or that he accepted any money from them, and he has said that he did not expressly urge Trump to fire the ambassador.

Giuliani’s work to oust Yovanovitch was part of a larger effort to attack Joe Biden and tie him to corruption in Ukraine, much of which played out in public."

 

Knowing Trump, he believes that a horse cart somewhere in Serbia harbors a computer server that contains Hillary's deleted emails that are supposedly evidence of her nefarious behavior.

 

Trump has suggested that a wealthy Ukrainian has a server containing Hillary's deleted emails. He called upon the leader of Ukraine to investigate the matter.


Trump promotes conspiracy theory: Clinton's deleted emails are in Ukraine

excerpt:

"As for Trump’s 2017 claim to The Associated Press — that CrowdStrike is owned by wealthy Ukrainians — there’s no evidence of that either. The cybersecurity firm, based in California, is a publicly-traded company. One of its founders is a Russian-born American citizen.

The firm said in a statement Wednesday that "with regards to our investigation of the DNC hack in 2016, we provided all forensic evidence and analysis to the FBI. As we’ve stated before, we stand by our findings and conclusions that have been fully supported by the U.S. Intelligence community."

Xochitl Hinojosa, a spokesman for the DNC, called Trump's remarks "complete nonsense."

"Trump still hasn't accepted that Russia interfered in our election, and instead, is using a call with a foreign leader to push conspiracy theories," she told NBC News. "This is surreal.""

 

As they all are.

 

Trump endorses Susan Wright to succeed her late husband Congressman Ron Wright who died of the hoax (the coronavirus).


Texas Republicans forced to go along with Trump's election lies

 

Louisiana U.S. congressman-elect Luke Letlow was only 41 and died of the coronavirus days before he was to be sworn in.

He and Wright were two Republicans House members who died of the coronavirus.

DeSantis to sign bill giving Florida the power to punish deplatforming.


In nod to Trump, Florida is set to ban 'deplatforming' on social media

excerpt:

"Florida is on track to be the first state in the nation to punish social media companies that ban politicians like former President Donald Trump under a bill approved Thursday by the state's Republican-led Legislature.

Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican and close Trump ally who called for the bill’s passage, is expected to sign the legislation into law, but the proposal appears destined to be challenged in court after a tech industry trade group called it a violation of the First Amendment speech rights of corporations.

Republicans have been barraging Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and other tech companies for booting Trump and other conservatives from their platforms after violations of the companies’ rules, including bans on the promotion of violence related to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol."

 

Before those two deaths, pro-Trump bloggers had been saying that, other than Herman Cain, the coronavirus hadn't killed any notable Republican politicians at the national level.

 

Gosh, maybe if they got the multi-million dollar secret treatment that they gave Trumph in the hospital, they'd be alive, too....

 

PA man used identity of deceased mother and mother-in-law to try to cast extra votes for Trump.

Trump claims that such fraud cases are rampant and talks as if all are votes for Biden.

The district attorney of PA advised the state to solve particular vulnerabilities in the system instead of overhauling the entire voting system with restriction measures.


Delco man gets probation for casting dead mother's vote for Donald Trump

excerpt:

"District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer said Bartman is the only known Delco resident to have cast a ballot for a dead person in the November election.

"This criminal investigation and prosecution by my office should serve as a roadmap for meaningful reform for the Pennsylvania legislature and officials reviewing our voter systems," Stollsteimer said. "Our office has done what it can to ensure our elections are both secure and accessible but the next fight is in Harrisburg. To those reviewing voter systems, I say, 'Remove failed systems, not ballot boxes.'

"Rather than earning national attention for efforts to restrict accessibility to voting, address the breakdown in the online voter registration systems that this defendant exploited to vote for a deceased relative.""

 

Trump is preoccupied with the AZ recount.

If he receives his desired fake result in AZ, he will use it to promote similar sham recounts in the other six swing states he lost.

Moreover, it could become an ingrained behavior of GOP-run state legislatures in future elections that simply denies election losses and files lawsuits and conducts recounts for many months until, in their minds, the desired result is achieved.


As Trump seizes on Arizona ballot audit, election officials fear partisan vote counts could be the norm in future elections

excerpt:

"Several advisers said the former president has become fixated on the unorthodox process underway in Phoenix, where the GOP-led state Senate took ballots and voting equipment from Maricopa County and turned them over to Cyber Ninjas, a private contractor whose chief executive has echoed baseless claims that the election was fraudulent but has now promised a fair review of the November results.

Ensconced at his private club in Florida, Trump asks aides for updates about the process multiple times a day, advisers said, expressing particular interest in the use of UV lights to scrutinize Maricopa’s ballots — a method that has bewildered election experts, who say it could damage the votes.

“He talks about it constantly,” said one person who recently visited Mar-a-Lago and listened to Trump discuss the recount for about 45 minutes, speaking on the condition of anonymity to describe private conversations."

 

The guy is senile.

 

Trump and like-minded GOP members are saying that restrictive overhaul is needed to quell fears of voting fraud in the public (fears caused by truther narratives spread by Trump and the GOP, not the few sporadic cases of actual voting fraud).

 

Another Trump supporter used a similar approach by using a ballot intended for his ex-wife after she moved to another residence. He was arrested after his ex-wife tried to vote and the system noticed that her name had already voted. The ex-husband claimed he was doing his wife a favor and knew how she would have voted.

Trump failed with over 60 lawsuits and various recounts that were launched on the contention that such incidents are widespread and sufficient to overturn presidential elections.

 

Florida House passes voting restriction bill.



The Florida Legislature Does What Disney and Trump Want
A pair of new bills captures the coziness between MAGA and Mickey.

The Florida Legislature Does What Disney and Trump Want

excerpt:

"On Thursday evening, the Florida House of Representatives passed a sweeping set of changes to the state’s election laws that would shorten drop box hours, confuse mail-in voters by changing ballot request deadlines, make it illegal for groups to give water to voters standing in line, and empower partisan observers to more easily challenge ballots during the vote counting process. In short, the bill would make it harder to vote, with voting rights groups and Black lawmakers noting that these changes will disproportionately affect minority voters.

The passage of this bill—with bipartisan opposition but only Republican support—has rightly received major media attention, with newspapers and TV networks noting its similarities to the Georgia voting bill passed last month that caused a national uproar and comparisons to Jim Crow."

Them damned socialists and their water, stealing elections by giving somebody a drink....
