Uniparty On Defensive; More on May v. Shall...
Marc Elias and the fraud front group Arizona Alliance for Retired Americans loses it!
Prescott, AZ January 23, 2024… Well, that didn’t take long. The shadowy radical leftist front group Arizona Alliance for Retired Americans really [emphasis added] doesn’t want you to have the comfort of knowing that the machine count of ballots, and the votes they memorialize, is accurate by doing a concurrent hand count comparison with the machine count. They and their henchmen Attorney General Kris Mayes and Secretary of State Adrian Fontes claim the only way votes can be counted “legally” in Arizona is by machine. The law that protects local control, is unambiguous, counties may choose the manner in which they will tabulate votes.
Perhaps the government schools don’t teach English any longer. According to the Oxford Dictionary, “may” is a verb, that means to “express permission.” On the other hand, the Oxford Dictionary defines “shall” as a verb, “used in laws, regulations, or directives to express what is mandatory.” The argument seems pretty silly because the use of specific words is so clear.
Or perhaps the election fraud-denying front group seeks to hide the evidence of machine code mischief from the people? What other purpose would they have to crush transparency in the courts?
They really [extreme emphasis added] don’t want you to know…
Why would a group spend millions of dollars to prevent the hand-counting of votes with extreme oversight and high security, when the code driving machines have been proven to be open to hacking and totally non-transparent? Machines are more accurate they claim. But wait a minute, U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg heard testimony from Alex Halderman, a University of Michigan computer science professor, in 2018 as he showed how a voting machine could be hacked from his cell phone. The judge sealed the 2020 testimony, which would have been pivotal in the 2022 elections had it been made public.
Then again last Friday during yet another hearing, Halderman gave a similar demonstration in a trial, again in front of Totenberg, to determine whether Georgia’s Dominion voting system is vulnerable to manipulation or programming “errors”.
During his testimony, Halderman was able to HACK A DOMINION VOTING MACHINE and change the tabulations in front of Totenberg and the entire courtroom! Halderman USED ONLY A PEN TO CHANGE VOTE TOTALS!
Included in my post 3-days ago on January 20th, I announced the legal challenge to decide if “may” really means “may” or does it mean “shall”. Post link.
Who is the Arizona Alliance for Retired Americans?
American politics is filled with nefarious organizations that hide in plain sight with attractive-sounding monikers, it’s how the wolf in sheep’s clothing works. While the organization appears to be properly formed as an IRS-approved 501(c)(4), there is very little information available about its funding; because they are a 501(c)(4) the names of its donors will be hidden just like the paper ballot count they seek to hide from the voters.
The Alliance as they are known, is grasping at straws on this as they claim, “Plaintiff’s lawsuit is an attempt to reframe the fundamental issues presented in the Alliance’s case, hoping to get a different result. If successful, it threatens to hollow out the Alliance’s important victory in that prior litigation, and open the floodgates for counties to conduct their own unique hand counts instead of following Arizona’s longstanding and proven election procedures.” They incorrectly argue that Gould v. Mayes is an attempt to reframe a previous argument, knowing full well that the argument is completely different. Their filing sounds more like a fundraising pitch than a legal argument.
The difference between the argument made in Gould v. Mayes over the prior case the Alliance is so proud of, the one that prevented an open and transparent non-candidate recount of results, is twofold; (1) did the AG act improperly threatening elected officials with civil and criminal prosecution if they took action, and (2) the question of “may” v. “shall” to block hand counting. Lack of transparency is an existential threat to the full faith voters could have in elections and is reminiscent of the coverup of pervasive election fraud and office selling of Tammany Hall and Boss Tweed.
The claims in the Motion to Intervene are absurd…
In the Cochise County case that the Alliance cites to justify its intervention, there are fundamental differences.
Machines were the first instance of a count, meaning that they were the election tabulation system upfront;
The move to conduct a full comparison hand count came after the machine count, but before the election certification;
To do a hand count comparison after the first instance of a count would be a second instance;
No candidate requested the recount, which of course happens after ballots are tabulated by a machine;
Commissioners Crosby and Judd had concerns given all of the machine code defects that have been revealed around the nation;
Out of an abundance of caution, Supervisors Crosby and Judd called for the full hand comparison count, not specifically prohibited nor permitted anywhere in Arizona Title § 16 “Election Law”;
They were blocked from completing their due diligence as elected officeholders by court action brought by the Alliance;
Now comes the case where instead of using a machine to count in the first instance, a tightly controlled and fully transparent hand in the first instance;
The Mohave County Board of Supervisors (MCBOS)was threatened with civil and criminal prosecution under color of authority by the Attorney General;
Only one potential process was presented to the MCBOS, and for an outrageous cost, by the Mohave County Elections Director;
Allen Tempert ignored existing, proven, reliable, secure and transparent hand counting process that has been demonstrated by other counties in the U.S.
Nothing says desperation like Alinshy-style hyperbole…
