    There is enough fraud there to warrant a serious, no nonsense investigation atleast. The problem is the FBI and DOJ will not even do their jobs they are being paid to do? Add that the extreme liberal activist judges in our lower courts, appellate courts and now the US Supreme Court? Can you believe that crap that Judge John Roberts did not want to hear the Texas lawsuit because he feared riots? That is an utter disgrace.

    Trump is going to be laughed out of the Supreme Court again...

    Trump campaign will again ask U.S. high court to upend election results
    https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-trump-court-idUSKBN28U0UJ

    President Donald Trump’s campaign said on Sunday it would again ask the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn results from the Nov. 3 election, its latest long-shot effort to subvert the electoral process and sow doubt over the legitimacy of President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.

    In a statement issued by the campaign, Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani said the campaign had filed a petition asking the high court to reverse three rulings by a Pennsylvania state court interpreting the state’s rules for mail-in ballots.

    “The Campaign’s petition seeks to reverse three decisions which eviscerated the Pennsylvania Legislature’s protections against mail ballot fraud,” Giuliani said in a statement.

    Giuliani said the filing sought all “appropriate remedies,” including an order allowing Pennsylvania’s Republican-controlled legislature to award the state’s 20 electoral votes to Trump. Biden won the state by more than 80,000 votes.

    The petition is “frivolous” and is not going to stop Biden from becoming president on Jan. 20, said Joshua Douglas, an election law professor at the University of Kentucky.

    “The Court will shut it down quickly,” Douglas said.

    The Supreme Court on Dec. 11 rejected a lawsuit filed by Texas and backed by Trump seeking to throw out voting results in four states, including Pennsylvania, that went for Biden.

    Several senior Republican U.S. senators, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, have acknowledged Democrat Biden as the country’s president-elect after the Electoral College affirmed his victory, and have rejected the idea of overturning the 2020 presidential election in Congress.

    A candidate needs 270 Electoral College votes to win the White House. Biden won 306 of those votes to Trump’s 232 and defeated the Republican president by more than 7 million ballots in the popular vote.

    Congress will count the electoral votes on Jan. 6 and Biden will take office on Jan. 20.

    Trump has made unsubstantiated claims of widespread electoral fraud and has tried but failed to overturn Biden’s victory, challenging the outcome in court in multiple states, while pressing state officials, lawmakers and governors to throw the results out and simply declare Trump the winner.

  6. Trump is not without ammunition in his fight:

    Analyst says redacted Dominion report 'shows very clearly' problems with voting machines.

    An analyst whose company oversaw the audit of Dominion Voting Systems machines in Antrim County, Michigan is claiming that the redacted version of the forensic analysis of those machines obscured the allegedly conclusive revelations that the audit revealed.

    Russell Ramsland Jr., a member of Allied Security Operations Group, said on Newsmax on Friday that the final report "show[ed] exactly what we did and exactly the findings." Yet redactions in the report have covered up those conclusions, he argued.

    The analysis, which allegedly determined a ballot error rate of 68%, was ordered released earlier this week by a Michigan judge.

    "The original report had log evidence that we published in the report to show exactly what we did and exactly the findings," Ramsland told host Greg Kelly. "Now, those did ultimately get redacted. And so now, the complaint is ‘well, but there’s no real proof,' and Dominion says ‘no, these things can’t be done'."

    "But at that point, Dominion’s argument is no longer with us," he continued. "Dominion’s argument is with their own user’s manual and their own logs. Because the logs, had they been able to be published, show very clearly that the RCV [ranked-choice voting] algorithm was enacted. It shows very clearly that the error messages were massive. It shows very clearly that races were flipped."

    "Now, most of the important races that were flipped were down-ballot," he continued. "The most important race was a marijuana proposal."

    Michigan officials, including the secretary of state's office, have strongly disputed Allied's findings, claiming they are based on incomplete and mis-analyzed data.

    Russell James Ramsland is a total clown.... let's take a look at his previous false assertions about voting in Michigan. His latest claims are just as absurd as his previous claims.


    In 10 Michigan precincts, voter turnout reached 100% and in 6 precincts it surpassed 100%

    Affidavit in Michigan lawsuit seeking to overturn election makes wildly inaccurate claims about vote

    A lawsuit is asking a federal court in Michigan to force state leaders to disregard Michigan’s certified election results and award its 16 Electoral College votes to President Donald Trump. It includes an affidavit that makes wildly inaccurate claims about voter turnout in Michigan cities and townships.

    The affidavit comes from Russell James Ramsland Jr., a cybersecurity analyst and former Republican congressional candidate. Ramsland is the one who mistook voting jurisdictions in Minnesota for Michigan towns in a separate flawed analysis of voter turnout. His latest analysis correctly names Michigan voting jurisdictions, but similarly arrives at inaccurate voter turnout rates.

    For instance, Ramsland claims that Detroit saw a turnout of 139.29%. The city’s official results show that turnout in the city was actually 50.88% of registered voters.

    When asked about the error in Ramsland’s affidavit, Gregory Rohl, the attorney representing the plaintiffs in the federal lawsuit in Michigan, said he and his team would investigate the data. "I’m always willing to learn and surely want the facts set forth to be accurate in any filing bearing my name," Rohl wrote in an email to PolitiFact Michigan.

    Ramsland’s analysis gained public attention when a witness shared its inaccurate findings during a state House Oversight Committee hearing in Lansing Wednesday. During the hearing, Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s personal attorney, brought a number of witnesses to share allegations of election fraud and misconduct already discredited by election officials and in court. The witnesses included Col. Phil Waldron, who says he’s part of a team that looked into "election manipulation." He claimed that "publicly available information" from Michigan analyzed in an affidavit shows excessive voter turnout that indicates election fraud. But the numbers do not square with the statement of votes cast from Michigan counties.

    A chart included in Ramsland’s affidavit lists 21 Michigan cities and townships, five of which are alleged to have recorded a turnout above 90% in November’s election, while 10 purportedly saw turnout of exactly 100% and six surpassed 100%.

    [​IMG]

    It is difficult to imagine that a turnout rate above 100% — let alone 782% in the City of North Muskegon or 461%In Zeeland Charter Township — would have escaped election officials compiling the statement of votes cast. But beyond the implausible turnout rates Ramsland alleges, there are other glaring problems with the list. Shelby Township is named twice. So is Zeeland Charter Township, with two vastly different turnout rates: 90.59% and 460.51%. Ramsland lists "Fenton" without specifying Fenton City or Fenton Township. But the turnout Ramsland lists for Fenton does not match the turnout in either jurisdiction.

    The actual turnout statistics reveal the inaccuracy of Ramsland’s numbers. His figure for North Muskegon is off by a factor of 10: The actual number is 78.11%, not 781.91%. For Zeeland Charter Township, he inflated the turnout nearly sixfold. For Grout Township and the City of Muskegon, his number is more than triple the correct number.

    [​IMG]

    There is one location where the actual turnout matches the turnout Ramsland lists: Grand Island Township, a tiny municipality split between an island in Lake Superior and a stretch of the Upper Peninsula’s mainland. Turnout there was 96.77%, according to the official record, as 30 out of the township’s 31 registered voters cast a ballot in November’s election.

    The 215.21% turnout rate Ramsland listed for Grout Township initially matched the data in the county’s statement of votes cast, but that’s because there was an error in the report. Gladwin County Clerk Laura Brandon-Maveal explained that the election results certified by the county are accurate, but that the number of registered voters used to compute the turnout rate was incorrect. "We have to hand punch in the total number of registered voters and they put in the wrong number of registered voters," Brandon-Maveal said. The county released a corrected report Dec. 3.

    In a second affidavit Ramsland filed in the same lawsuit Dec. 3, he said that the information source for his first affidavit was data from the state’s open data portal and Secretary of State’s election results page "that no longer exists."

    The Secretary of State's office never shared township, city or precinct turnout data on its results page, according to Tracy Wimmer, a spokesperson for the office.

    This latest affidavit includes a new list of precincts in another attempt to demonstrate excessive turnout. It shows that "Spring Lake Township, Precinct 6 — B" had a turnout of 120%. Spring Lake Township’s clerk said that there’s no such precinct. Spring Lake Township Precinct 6 had a turnout of 66.74% in November’s election. The list also shows that one precinct in the City of South Haven had a 100% turnout rate. The city’s clerk said that there are only eight voters in that precinct, all of whom voted.

    Ramsland’s new list also showed 33 voting jurisdictions with turnout between 86.79% and 96.77%. An initial review indicated many of these turnout rates are accurate. Michigan had record turnout statewide. President-elect Joe Biden carried the state by more than 154,000 votes.

    Our ruling
    An affidavit filed in a lawsuit in Michigan seeking to overturn the election purports to show turnout rates in Michigan that indicate election fraud.

    The numbers do not match the official statement of votes cast in all but one jurisdiction, and many inflate the numbers significantly. The official data show that the number of voters who cast a ballot in November’s election did not exceed the number of registered voters in any of the jurisdictions named.

    We rate this claim Pants on Fire!

    While we are at it.... let's take a look Russell James Ramsland's recent claims about Antrim County which are also total nonsense.

    At this time we should also point out his entire resume is fake. NASA has stated directly Russell James Ramsland never worked for them.


    Fact Check: Cyber Analyst Did NOT Prove Dominion Software Used In Antrim County, Michigan Was Designed For Fraud
    https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/...m-county-michigan-was-designed-for-fraud.html

    Did a computer analyst prove voting software used in Antrim County, Michigan was designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud? No, that's not true: The expert making the claims has not been put under oath nor cross-examined, provides no witnesses and officials say he does not have access to the data needed to make the calculations he presents. Michigan's Director of Elections declared in a sworn court filing that Trump partisan Russell James Ramsland, Jr.'s claims describe software features not in use in Michigan and said Michigan's audit on December 17, 2020 will prove the claims false. The spokesman for Michigan's secretary of state said Ramsland's Allied Security Operations Group report includes fabricated statistics that would require access to ballots, which Ramsland does not have. Under oath, on December 15, 2020, the founder and CEO of the company that makes Michigan's balloting and tabulation software directly refuted the claims about fraud and vote-switching, saying Dominion Voting Systems software only operates with paper ballot systems, so that tallies can be audited and as proof of Ramsland's lack of expertise, that the system does not offer the fractional vote recording Ramsland claims is proof of fraudulent intent.

    Ramsland's claims were made in a report (archived here) created by Allied Security Operations Group and posted to DocumentCloud on December 14, 2020 titled : "Antrim Michigan Forensics Report" which opened:

    We conclude that the Dominion Voting System is intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election
    results.


    Users on social media only saw this title, description and thumbnail:

    This is what the report looked like on DocumentCloud, where it was placed by Epoch Times and linked to by multiple publications:

    [​IMG]

    This fact check does not cover all of the claims in Ramsland's document, many of which will be settled by a December 17, 2020 audit of Antrim County vote tallies.

    Central to Ramsland's claims is the theory that Michigan's voting software is intentionally programmed to create a high number of "ballot errors" that can then be "adjudicated" by local election officials, who, Ramsland's report claims, use that function to skew results to their preferred candidate:

    Ballots sent to adjudication can be altered by administrators, and adjudication files can be moved between different Results Tally and Reporting (RTR) terminals with no audit trail of which administrator actually adjudicates (i.e. votes) the ballot batch. This demonstrated a significant and fatal error in security and election integrity because it provides no meaningful observation of the adjudication process or audit trail of which administrator actually adjudicated the ballots.


    Dominion Voting Systems founder and CEO John Poulos, testifying under oath December 15, 2020 before the Michigan Senate Oversight Committee said that's not how Michigan's system works. Video of his testimony can be downloaded here. Following is from his prepared remarks, which very closely follow what he said at the hearing.

    ...The adjudication claims are entirely false. Let me take a minute to explain this bizarre claim. First off, adjudication only occurs on absentee ballots, and only in States that require it... A common mistake is when a voter fills in the wrong oval, and then tries to correct it...some states, like Michigan, call for bipartisan review committees to review these ballots for common mistakes, to see if they agree on voter intent.

    All decisions are made by local officials and a bipartisan committee. In some counties, election officials do this using a digital adjudication system, whereas other counties conduct this process manually... With digital adjudication, the original ballot is never changed, and a full audit trail shows the original image, shows who the bi-partisan adjudicators were and what they agreed on, and ultimately captures any changes they made per State law.


    In Antrim county, ballots are reconciled manually. What the report is alleging is impossible because Antrim County does not license nor use digital adjudication. Furthermore, digital adjudication requires the use of ballot images. Antrim County did not record absentee ballot images.

    Jonathan Brater, Michigan's Director of Elections declared, under oath, that Ramsland's claims about changing vote totals ignore the actual characteristics of the voting system and the claims ascribe to the machines minor 2020 errors which have been amply proven to be human errors, which were caught and corrected:

    ...the report makes a series of unsupported conclusions, ascribes motives of fraud and obfuscation to processes that are easily explained as routine election procedures or error corrections, and suggests without explanation that elements of election software not used in Michigan are somehow responsible for tabulation or reporting errors that are either nonexistent or easily explained.

    Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel and Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson on December 14, 2020 took active steps to ensure public release of the ASOG report, which was filed in a lawsuit over a local election and calls into question Michigan's certified results in the 2020 presidential election. The two Michigan officials said they want it public so that people can see it is "another in a long stream of misguided, vague and dubious assertions designed to erode public confidence in the November presidential election." Included in their statement is an implicit threat to have Ramsland's report stricken from the court record as unproven and inexpert:

    The qualifications of those who authored the report are suspect, with no evidence or credentials provided to back up their "expertise." Authors in the report also make unverified and unsupported claims that "fraud," "intentional errors" and "bad faith" decisions made by election officials led them to their conclusions in the report. Moreover, many of their assertions are unsupported by evidence, with some even constituting hearsay and clearly show that the authors lack first-hand knowledge of events...

    Past court rulings have found that the trial court has a fundamental duty to ensure that all expert testimony is reliable (Gilbert v DaimlerChrysler Corp), and that the knowledge of the testimony must be more than "subjective belief or unsupported speculation" (Daubert v Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals). At the conclusion of discovery, the Department of Attorney General will have the opportunity to request that the plaintiff's report be stricken from use in these proceedings.


    Ramsland also asserts in his report, without citing documentation, witnesses or other evidence, that Dominion's software is licensed from Smartmatic, which he calls a Venezuelan owned and controlled company and that Dominion operates voting systems using servers located in Serbia, Canada, Spain and Germany. Lead Stories has previously debunked the claims about Smartmatic and about storage of votes on overseas vote servers.

    In his testimony, Dominion CEO Poulos said, under oath, that all those claims are false:

    Dominion is not and has never been a front for communists. It has no ties to Hugo Chávez, the late dictator of Venezuela. There are no ownership ties to any political parties nor to foreign governments. Dominion has no ties to the Pelosi family, Feinstein family, Clinton family, or George Soros.

    Dominion does not have any servers in Germany or Spain, and no votes are sent overseas. Let me be clear - ballots aren't sent anywhere. Not overseas, not over state lines, and not even over county lines. All votes are counted by local, bipartisan U.S. election officials in the United States. It is technologically impossible to "see" votes being counted in real-time or to "flip" them.

    The comments about our Company being started in Venezuela with Cuban money with the intent to steal elections are beyond bizarre, and are complete lies. My Company started in my
    basement, which happened to be in Toronto Dominion and Smartmatic are two separate companies. We do not use or license Smartmatic software...We certainly do not use any of their Intellectual Property or Source code.


    Ramsland, operating as Allied Security Operations Group, made significant factual errors in a similar "report" used by Trump lawyers in an earlier election fraud suit tossed out by a Michigan judge. In that Detroit case, ASOG listed numerous voting districts with perfect 100% voter turnout, a rarity. But, that report on Michigan voting listed dozens of Minnesota precincts. Michigan circuit judge Timothy M. Kenny said, in throwing out the case, that it was "rife with speculation and guesswork."

    Ramsland was an unsuccessful Republican candidate for the U.S. House from a Dallas County district and in 2020 has provided reports like this one in support of lawsuits filed by the Trump 2020 campaign, seeking to overturn the results of the election, which Trump lost. Ramsland says in the Antrim county report that he is a Harvard MBA with a political science degree from Duke University. Lead Stories reached out to Harvard Business School and to Duke University and will update this article with their replies, when they arrive. Here's how he describes his professional credentials:

    I have worked with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), among other organizations, and have run businesses all over the world, many of which are highly technical in nature.

    In his Ballotopedia profile for his 2016 congressional run, Ramsland said he worked for NASA and MIT.

    NASA's public affairs office responded December 15, 2020 to Lead Stories attempt to confirm with the following email message:

    We have no record of an individual by the name of Russell James Ramsland having been employed by NASA. This does not preclude the possibility that Mr. Ramsland worked for a company with which NASA contracted, but we would not have those employment records.


    Lead Stories has followed up to ask if he ever had clearance to work at NASA facilities and will update this article when NASA replies.

    Lead Stories similarly reached out to MIT to seek confirmation of Ramsland's work there and will update this article when the university responds.

  9. Ramsland is a foremost expert in electronic voting systems. Your quoted fact checker needs to be fact checked. Many “Fact checks” amount to nothing more than subjective opinions by members of the media.

    Now tell us, what is your perception of the believability of US media in most people's eyes?
