Memo to 7,532 State Legislators:

If you had listened to the People, we would not be here...

Prescott, AZ November 3, 2024… You’ve seen them, the “I Voted” stickers we all get when we go to the polls. But a vexing question persists: did my vote count?

Across the 50 sometimes united states, there are 2,027 Senators and 5,505 Representatives. For nearly a decade, both Democrats and Republicans in high office have accused ballot tabulation machines of being insecure, unreliable, and untrustworthy. Yet Congress did what they do so well: nothing. For the last four years, the administrative state’s lapdog media has vilified anyone who dared to suggest that machine tabulation be abandoned because of widely known and notorious problems, and we return to highly supervised, open, transparent, and timely hand counting of paper ballots at the precinct level. THE PEOPLE WERE RIGHT ALL ALONG. For state legislators to be forewarned and do nothing is the height of irresponsibility, yet those who could have made a difference have taken no action; in fact, they have been dismissive to the extreme.

Who is responsible for setting the rules…

At our founding, the Legislators from each state not only gave a small amount of power to the new federal government but also retained vast power and authority for themselves.

Article I, Section 4, Clause 1: The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.

So who owns the mess? While the finger-pointing over responsibility for an obviously broken election system is already well underway, I urge you, the readers of this substack, to step back for just a moment and consider the actual fact pattern pertaining to election administration. Elections are a county government function, but the county election officials are bound by laws that are passed by whom? The state legislatures.

Of course, there are rogue partisans who engage in criminal election tampering, and one day, they will face the consequences of their chicanery. But except for a scant few, the ultimate responsibility lies at the feet of 2,027 Senators, 5,505 Representatives, and 50 Governors who sign statutes into effect. Power ultimately lies with the People, and the People have but one recourse.

Who knows who first made the comparison, but it was not Mark Twain, although he would likely agree with the sentiment,

Politicians are like diapers; they chould be changed regularly, and for the same reasons.

If Legislators refuse to take action to secure elections, no matter what their given reason, they must be replaced for the sake of the republic. Now, they may not like what I have to say, and I am one of their colleagues, but we should have had an intervention a long time ago. Elections are such an intervention.

Benson spokesperson for Dominion?

It strikes me as incredibly odd that Soros sponsored MI Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, who appeared to be the spokesperson for Dominion when she announced that not only were Michigan Dominion machines affected by a “bug” but that all Dominion machines around the country are affected as well.

Wait, what? Haven’t we been told all along that the Election Assistance Commission (EAC) has test labs that rigorously test critical infrastructure election-related equipment, ensuring that both the equipment and the software undergo testing and code review to ensure that the systems meet VVSG guidelines, FISMA, FIPS 200, and NIST SP-800-53a federal mandates?

And, isn’t it true that by deploying a “software patch” to address the “bug,” the EAC certification is voided, pending a retesting of the systems? But wait, there’s more. Some of the states have already begun ballot processing (and counting votes) with machines that have these so-called bugs.

If you don’t have X, you need to get the app…

I am not big on recommending apps for people to use, but the universe of news and commentary outlets is shifting rapidly away from legacy print and broadcast to social media platforms.

Patrick Byrne has done a lot of work on showing how the ballot counting machine industry is essentially owned by foreign adversaries and how they have used our “open society” against us. Patrick has released a video about a new lawsuit in Michigan regarding a patch to the Electronic Voting Systems; he warns that the patch will introduce a back door into Elections, but the issues are even greater than that.
