Pennsylvania: The 25 data dumps where Trump LOST votes from the Dominion feeds.

You know what's even MORE suspicious than BIG vote dumps giving Biden the lead in WI and MI? Taking AWAY votes from @realDonaldTrump in Pennsylvania!

#2  If this is not cleaned up, there will no need to vote in any future elections. The entire process has been subverted and destroyed. The leftest oligarchs have prevailed.

#3  I'm probably not voting anymore, at least in national elections. What sense? No national/federal standards as the several states take care of that. Maybe if we (1) have proper ID checks and (2) go back to paper ballots and a real ballot box, and even that isn't fool proof barring having an army of observers at each polling station. The system and the country is broke beyond belief.

#4  Some data gleaned from Rantburg’s archives using the search terms Judicial Watch,True The Vote,National Voter Registration Act.

In November, 2016, California alone had more than 5 million more registrations than eligible voters. Since last year they have removed about 2 million in compliance with the National Voter Registration Act, if I am reading the articles in Rantburg’s archive correctly.

In 2018 the US Supreme Court ruled in Judicial Watch’s favour on cleaning up voter rolls in Ohio.

Ohio surrendered in 2014, and this year Ohio was acknowledged to be firmly in the Red camp — Purple no longer — and they just certified their Electoral College votes for Donald Trump.

Kentucky surrendered last year, and started removing their 250,000 excess names.

In October, 2018, there were 462 counties that had about 3.5 million registrations more than eligible voters. (Yes, I realize that California alone had more at that point, but that’s what’s in the archives.)

By January, 2020 there were 378 counties that combined had about 2.5 million registrations more than eligible voters.

By Election Day, the national total was down to 1.8 million in 353 counties.

Granted, there are other problems like illegal aliens registering, illegal registrations that are not in excess of raw eligible voter numbers, and various shenanigans with the machines and their programming, but the fact that they no longer have the millions of registered ghost voters they’d been accustomed to meant they had to do things that are much more obvious when people are watching — as people have been despite all obstacles placed in their way during this election season.

CLAIM: Dominion Exec Bragged That He Made Sure 'Trump Is Not Gonna Win' on Conference Call (Video)
[PJMedia] Joe Oltmann, the founder of FEC (Faith Education Commerce) United, spoke to OAN about how he participated in a September 27 conference with members of antifa, and allegedly made a bombshell discovery about a key member of the leadership of Dominion Voting Systems.

Oltmann said he learned that "Eric from Dominion," whom he later identified as Dominion employee Eric Coomer, would be on the call.

According to Oltmann, someone on the call asked, "What are we gonna do if f***ing Trump wins?"

Oltmann paraphrased Coomer’s alleged response: "Don’t worry about the election, Trump’s not gonna win. I made f***ing sure of that!"
OANN Video followed by ass covering:
As of right now, there is no proof that the person on the call was Eric Coomer of Dominion, or that he made the statement. Conference calls involving a large number of participants may have recordings, but so far, no recording has surfaced, and Oltmann's claims are, at this point, hearsay, especially without other witnesses who participated on the call verifying the statements.

Oltmann was apparently banned from Twitter soon after he first went public with his allegations. But without a recording of the conference call verifying that the comments were even said, and verifying who said them, there isn't much to go on here. If Oltmann recorded the call, he needs to release the audio. Without audio to prove the foundation of his claim, these allegations will go nowhere.

#1  If you use software to flip votes, it is probably going to be discovered in an hand count.

The only ways I can think of to lessen discovery would be to flip only a few votes in each precinct. There are about 9000 precincts in PA, for example. So you could maybe flip 3 or 4 for Biden in 8000 of them and then flip 1 for Trump in say 100 of the remaining. That would get you about 30k votes.

The only other way I can think of would be to flip larger amounts in precinct with reliable hand counters so you could get away with dozens or even a hundred in each of these. But the coordination problem is difficult since there is a risk of an honest person stumbling into the information center or of an incompetent partisan giving away the game.

#2  If you use software to flip votes, it is probably going to be discovered in an hand count.

The tabulating machines can output a false hard copy. That's the beauty of electronic voting for cheaters.

#3  Thinking more about this, if the voting machines do not produce a time stamp jpg of the in person vote (they are supposed to do this), it would be possible to flip and in-person vote.

Of course this would require producing a new time stamp jpg which would backdate. The source code on this software would be readily detectable however.

Are any of the lawsuits requiring the source code?
Posted by: Lord Garth || 11/29/2020 12:21 Comments || Top||

#4  Source code is probably written in China and not releasable to US...
Posted by: Glenmore || 11/29/2020 18:24 Comments || Top||

#5  You can write source code to do anything you want it to do. Compiling it into machine language that is readable by the computer only and not by humans is what is creates the exes and dlls.

There can be various versions of the source code, a version that compiles into legal exes and dlls and a version that has additional bells and whistles used to do things illegal.

There is a way to differenctiate between what Dominion gives investigatos and what is actually used in the voting machines without looking at the source code: The number of bytes that makes up the exes and dlls. If they are exactly the same, you most likely have the real deal. If they are off, in no way were you given what was used in the voting machines.

#6  For example, explorer.exe in a Windows 10 computer/machine is 4,576KB in size after compiled from the source code. If the explorer.exe source code for an explorer.exe program a company such as Microsoft compiles into an explorer.exe that is only 3,870KB, the source code they gave you to investigate is NOT the same as the source code used to compile the explorer.exe above that ended up being 4,576KB that the machine us reading.

#7  ^^^ I am one regular here at Rantburg who can easily prove that Dominion software is malicious. I already know it is and can deliver the evidence upon reviewing the system and/or the source code first hand.

#8  /\ The goal of data manipulation quickly followed early computer system data monitoring (1980's timeframe). Computer Network Attack (CNA) is a fact of life. Of course, if you own the boxes and can manipulate the data through code algorithms, no need to attack. Just turn it on, route the data through them, and let the boxes do their work.

It's now Vegas, and Vegas always wins.

#9  The voting software was originally written in Venezuela to steal the election for Chavez. That pedigree alone should be enough to ban it from every voting booth worldwide.

Efforts to date have not succeeded in determining the ultimate owners of Smartmatic or the extent to which Smartmatic and the Chavez government of Venezuela have influence over U.S. elections through Smartmatic‟s control of the software that counts votes for Sequoia (now Dominion) voting machines. Concern is that Smartmatic‟s sale of Sequoia "was fraudulent,"31"a sham transaction designed to fool regulators."32Dominion apparently will employ Venezuelan-run Smartmatic‟s propriety software in at least the Sequoia voting systems that it now owns. Dominion also is engaged in Internet voting outside the United States,33and could employ Venezuelan-run Smartmatic‟s propriety software in Internet voting in U.S. elections. Not only is it not known who owns and controls Smartmatic, we do not know who owns and controls privately-held and Canadian-based Dominion.

#10  Knowing who owns the system is not required to determine how it operates. Only when the illegal functionalities are exposed will Interpol or Seal Team 6 needs to be green lighted.

a person from casting more than one vote for a candidate or question, except
where this type of cumulative voting is permitted bylaw;


Therefore, the system documentation inidicates the system allows more than one vote per voter for a candidate "if allowed by law". There you have it.

#17  Excerpt from a pre-election law suit on the above GitHub repository against the state of Georgia demanding Dominion Systems not be used.

"Further, as described in Curling’s Brief (Doc.619-1 pages 5 -11), the entire
Dominion Voting System (Exhibit A) has serious unmitigated vulnerabilities, and
has undergone little field testing or debugging in Georgia. Providing an option to
use and thoroughly audit the presently installed Diebold GEMS/AccuVote scanner
system greatly reduces risks of implementation failures, election day chaos, and
unauditable elections.

Thousands of Fake Votes Found at Wisconsin Recount in Dane County ‐ Photos and Report from GOP Observer
[GatewayPundit] According to our source on the ground: More than 2,000 fake votes were found at the Wisconsin Recount in Dane County on Friday!

* On Black Friday, there were so many Trump observers that two dozen of them had nowhere to sit, and had to back upstairs and watch on closed circuit TV.

* Thousands of fake votes were found!

The signature “MLW” was used on the the fake votes.
These initials were found on thousands of “votes” by “indefinitely confined” people.

Joe Biden reportedly won Wisconsin after a huge dump of votes were dropped in the middle of the night, Biden only votes, to put him ahead of President Donald Trump.
Joe Biden currently ‘leads’ the state by around 20,000 votes.

#3  Ballot harvesting is not allowed in Wisconsin.

also: Michelle Malkin: Who’s funding shady ballot harvesting schemes?
Last week, while on a business trip in Wisconsin, I learned about an insane ballot harvesting scheme that appears to be tied to a deep-pocketed liberal advocacy group subsidized by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, Google, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and eBay former chairman Pierre Omidyar’s Democracy Fund.

On Saturday, Sept. 26, as advertised by the Biden campaign, Madison poll workers turned out across the city to register voters and collect absentee ballots, even though in-person absentee ballot collection is not supposed to start until two weeks before Election Day, according to Wisconsin state election law. Several of McKenna’s listeners showed up to photograph the city government workers’ activities promoted by the Biden for President campaign. The poll workers stuffed ballots into “red zipper bags with no security whatsoever. The poll workers witnessed people’s (blank) ballots, just like you would if you did an in-person absentee ballot, threw them in the red zipper bags, and we don’t know what’s become of these ballots since,” McKenna told me.

Imagine sheaves of ballots carelessly stuffed into cheap, canvas, pizza delivery-style totes. Then imagine them being carted away by unknown drivers to unknown locations for unknown reasons. Observers captured photos of several stuffed red bags being loaded into an unmarked white van parked outside Madison’s municipal government building.

NIST Electronic Voting machine Report (July 6, 2010) (PDF File)
NIST = National Institute of Standards and Technology
[NIST.gov] IV. Dominion, Now the Largest or Second Largest Voting System Company, Is Foreign Controlled and Depends Upon Secret Source Code Created and Owned by Smartmatic, a Foreign Controlled Company With Ties to The Venezuelan Government Led by Hugo ChavezPrivately-heldCanadian voting system company Dominion19in the past few weeks has purchased (1) Diebold voting systems from ES&S, and (2) Sequoia Voting Systems.20These purchases reportedly make Dominion the largest or second largest voting system company in the UnitedStates.21Dominion is reported by Dun & Bradstreet to be a Toronto-based company with one listed key official, board members and employee, John Poulos, and under $18 million in sales for which the company obtains no income.22On May 19, 2010, Dominion announced its purchase of Diebold voting systems from ES&S and on June 28, 2010, a federal court required ES&S to sell voting systemsassets that ES&S purchased from Diebold to resolve an antitrust suit brought by the United States against ES&S.23According to Dominion‟s press release,"Premiervoting systems are currently in use in over 1,400 jurisdictions in 33 states and serve nearly 28 million American voters."Of the deal, John Poulos, the President, CEO and Director of Dominion declared:"We are extremely pleased to conclude this transaction, which will restore much-needed competition to the American voting systems market and will allow Dominion to expand its capabilities and operational footprint to every corner of the United States."

In a separate transaction announced on June 4, 2010, Dominion bought Sequoia Voting Systems, which is, according to Dominion, "a major U.S. provider of voting solutions serving nearly300 jurisdictions in 16 states."John Poulos of Dominionheralded this deal as "another important milestone in Dominion‟s efforts to provide election officials in every region of the United States the widest array of comprehensive and innovative options when it comes to election solutions."25Before the Sequoia acquisition, Dominion had workedwith Sequoia in New York State for over three years, and had hired away one or more senior officials from Sequoia, including Edwin Smith, who now is a member of the Technical Guidelines Development Committee.26Dominion represents that, "as part of the transaction,Dominion has acquired Sequoia‟s inventory and all intellectual property, including software, firmware and hardware."But Sequoia could only sell to Dominion that which its owns. When Smartmatic sold Sequoia to an investment group led by Sequoia‟s management team,27during an investigation by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS)28into the identity of the person(s) who ultimately own Smartmatic and its ties to the Chavez government,29Smartmatic apparently retained ownership of the software used in Sequoia voting systems to cast and count votes, licensing to Sequoia that software, which Smartmatic develops in Venezuela.

Efforts to date have not succeeded in determining the ultimate owners of Smartmatic or the extent to which Smartmatic and the Chavez government of Venezuela have influence over U.S. elections through Smartmatic‟s control of the software that counts votes for Sequoia (now Dominion) voting machines. Concern is that Smartmatic‟s sale of Sequoia "was fraudulent,"31"asham transaction designed to fool regulators."32Dominion apparently will employVenezuelan-run Smartmatic‟s propriety software in at least the Sequoia voting systems that it now owns. Dominion also is engaged in Internet voting outside the United States,33and could employ Venezuelan-run Smartmatic‟s propriety software in Internet voting in U.S. elections. Notonly is it not known who owns and controls Smartmatic, we do not know who owns and controls privately-held and Canadian-based Dominion. Does Dominion owe Smartmatic on the Sequoia loan or earn-out? How was Dominion able to finance these Diebold and Sequoia purchases? Who is going to finance Dominion‟s work through the November 2010 election?

Pennsylvania Supreme Court Overturns Block on Certification of Election Results
At least they’re moving quickly on this. Not really a surprise, since the Pennsylvania Supreme Court is majority Democrats, as I recall, and anyway, the Trump campaign, et al are aiming for the US Supreme Court, so have to go through the intermediary steps first.
[EpochTimes] The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Saturday overturned a lower court’s order blocking election officials from certifying the results of the 2020 election. The court also dismissed the case with prejudice.

In a Per Curiam opinion, the state’s top court ruled to vacate Commonwealth Judge Patricia McCullough’s injunctive relief that would have prevented the state from taking further steps to complete the certification of the presidential race.

The court said the petitioners had failed to file their challenge in a "timely manner," as they had filed their suit more than one year after the enactment of Act 77—the law central to the case.

The case at hand—cited as Kelly v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania—was filed by a group of Republican politicians who argue that Act 77, a law that made voting by mail without an excuse legal in Pennsylvania, violates the state’s constitution.

The lawsuit alleges that the state law is "another illegal attempt to override the limitations on absentee voting prescribed in the Pennsylvania Constitution, without first following the necessary procedure to amend the constitution to allow for the expansion."

Earlier this week, McCullough granted an emergency request by the plaintiffs to temporarily block the certification after the Keystone state announced it was poised to finalize the process of formal certification for the presidential election results.

The Commonwealth judge explained in her opinion, issued on Friday, that the "petitioners appear to have established a likelihood to succeed on the merits because petitioners have asserted the Constitution does not provide a mechanism for the legislature to allow for expansion of absentee voting without a constitutional amendment."

She also opined that the "petitioners appear to have a viable claim that the mail-in ballot procedures set forth in Act 77 contravene" the plain language of the provision of the Pennsylvania Constitution, which deals with absentee voting.

The state Supreme Court said on Saturday that the petitioners waited until days before the county of boards of election were required to certify the election results, which could "result in the disenfranchisement of millions of Pennsylvania voters" who voted by mail.

"It is beyond cavil that Petitioners failed to act with due diligence in presenting the instant claim," the court wrote.

Chief Justice Thomas Saylor issued a separate opinion agreeing to reverse the preliminary injunction. However,
alcohol has never solved anybody's problems. But then, neither has milk...
Saylor said he believes the Republican petitioners should still be able to argue their case about the constitutional validity of Act 77.

"I find that the relevant substantive challenge raised by Appellees presents troublesome questions about the constitutional validity of the new mail-in voting scheme," Saylor wrote.

Justice Sallie Mundy joined in that opinion.

The lawyers of the plaintiffs did not immediately respond to The Epoch Times’ request for comment.

Lt Gen McInerney Reports US Special Forces Attacked CIA Server Farm In Germany In Server Seizure Operation, 5 Soldiers Killed, Servers Secured
[CreativeDestructionMedia] Lt General Thomas McInerney and Lt General Michael Flynn gave interviews to WVW Broadcasting Network today. It was Flynn’s first interview since his pardon.

In stunning testimony, McInerney stated his sources have told him U.S. Army Special Forces, possibly the famed Delta Force, raided the CIA-run server farm in Frankfurt, Germany. 5 soldiers were killed in the ensuing firefight, as well as one CIA paramilitary. The CIA personnel were allegedly flown in from Afghanistan for security, according to reports.

Subsequent review of the secured servers yielded proof that China, Iran, and Russia were involved in the attempted coup against President Donald Trump, who will be shown to have won an overwhelming victory for the American people, McInerney revealed.

"These people have committed treason," declared McInerney. He pleaded with President Trump to not leave office until the treason is uncovered, otherwise America will be fatally wounded and ripe for takeover by our enemies.

McInerney also stated that he believes President Trump knew the steal was coming, hence his executive order issued for sanctions for interference in our elections by foreign powers.

According to his bio, McInerney was a forward air controller and fighter pilot during the Vietnam War and had flown 407 combat missions during his four tours of duty. In other words, a patriot and trustworthy.

Reports are now circulating that General Flynn is involved in helping the President with a private intelligence operation.

You can listen to the interview here. McInerney is in the second half of the interview.

#3  And be sure not to overlook the link at the bottom of the article that says "You can listen to the interview here."

Flynn's interview was good, but McInerny's brought in a bunch of new information to consider that hasn't been made public yet that I know of. The world has been put on notice.

#4  I didn't know Hillary had a house in Germany!

#5  I believe McInerny disappeared from the scene when he said, confidently, that his sources told him MH370 had been hijacked and was down--someplace, don't recall--with passengers hostage.

If he and Flynn are right about this, the CIA managed to kill FIVE American spec ops guys? Did the Spec Ops guys send an announcement ahead or something? Fishy, says I.

#6  Why would military brass who defied orders to withdraw from Syria and Afghanistan follow orders and attack a CIA installation?

How would six dead in a firefight in Frankfurt -- not a backwoods village -- be kept out of the news?

Why would Merkel tolerate US military action inside Germany?

#7  Someone would want to inform Frankfurt police about this...

#8  Someone would want to inform Frankfurt police about this... Why? You think they would storm a US installation that has been off-base for years?

#12  Whether this story is true is one thing. But spec ops don't require local permission. Coloring outside the lines is part of the program for these guys which is why they sometimes go overboard. As when a couple of SEALs killed a Green Beret who got onto their grift.

#14  A firefight with multiple casualties isn't something the office cleaning lady can handle. If McInerney is truthful, then someone is feeding him disinformation.

#15  With 5 people dead you'd think someone in Germany would have picked up the story, dontcha think?

#16  and the story has been around for some time now
Posted by: European Conservative || 11/29/2020 9:52 Comments || Top||

#17  NOTE: I have NOT seen any collection of Obituary related notices at any of the SFOD-D base area locations. Since Delta Force is US Army Sgt. and above there would be family thus a strong likelihood the families would hold a funeral and there would be Newspaper Obits placed.

ALSO, IF...the CIA deployed an asset protection team. I am sure they have since perfected their data destruction lessons since Tehran Nov 1979.

Likely there would have been a collection of thermite grenades or a Hillary level data sanitation process ready for use on short notice.

#20  BTW, since it is the 1st Advent Sunday, I've dug into my collection of nice Christmas market mugs and use them to sip on my coffee or tea through Christmas, if not through Three Kings Day.

#21  I did a few more searches on what I thought might be key words in the article, and Frankfurt gave results. It looks like our earliest version of the tale was on November 14, when Representative Louie Gohmert (R-TX) reportedly told Chris Salcedo on Newsmax about it in an interview.

#23  My recipe for mulled wine, from the nice people at Cook’s Illustrated maagazine. I’ll see if I have something specific for Gluhwein in a bit.

Mulled Wine
Cooks Illustrated 11/02 (makes about 1 1/2 quarts, serving 8)
The Problem: The reality of this drink is reminiscent of cough syrup--sickeningly sweet and over spiced, with a strong taste of alcohol. Other recipes produce a bitter, pithy brew that even additional sugar can't remedy.
The Solution: For full, round flavors, choose a careful balance of cinnamon sticks, cloves, peppercorns, and allspice berries, then toast the spices to unlock their full potential. Add a medium- to full-bodied red wine that you enjoy drinking, plus a modest amount of sugar. Simmer the wine for a full hour to ensure a full-flavored drink that doesn't taste raw. Before serving, stir in a couple of spoonfuls of brandy for a fresh, boozy kick.

The flavor of the mulled wine deteriorates if it is simmered for longer than 1 hour. It is best served immediately after mulling but will keep fairly hot off heat, covered, for about 30 minutes. Leftover mulled wine can be reheated in the microwave or in a saucepan on the stovetop.


3 sticks cinnamon (3-inches each)
10 whole cloves
10 whole black peppercorns
1 tsp allspice berries (about 25)
2 bottles red wine medium- or full-bodied
4 strips orange zest removed with vegetable peeler, each strip about 2 inches long by 1/2 inch wide, cleaned of any white pith
1/2 cup granulated sugar

Add to taste: 2 Tbsp granulated sugar and 2 - 4 Tbsp brandy, opt.

Toast cinnamon sticks, cloves, peppercorns, and allspice in medium heavy-bottomed nonreactive saucepan over medium-high heat until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add wine, orange zest, and 1/2 cup sugar; cover partially and bring to simmer, stirring occasionally to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat to low and simmer 1 hour until wine is infused; do not boil.

Strain wine through fine-mesh strainer; return wine to saucepan and discard spices and orange zest. Stir 2 tablespoons brandy into wine if desired; taste and add up to 2 tablespoons more sugar and 2 tablespoons more brandy, to taste. Ladle wine into small mugs; serve immediately.

#24  /\ I think that should definitely cut the mustard for Glühwein. Thanks for posting.

Perhaps EC has family Geheimtipp he would like to share!

A pity no Christkindlmärkte this year, EC, but totally understandable.

#26  Definitely do not share family secrets, European Conservative. That’s a good way to become one. However, it won’t hurt to show Mrs, Conservative the recipe below, and ask if the Americans got it right. ;-)

Here is the Glühwein recipe from the cookbook put out by the American Women’s Club of the Taunus, which is not the same group as the American Women’s Club of Frankfurt (on the Main River, of course, not the East German one)— or was not as of 1995.

Glühwein
2 cups (1/2 liter) red wine
1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar (Rohzucker)
2 2” (5cm) cinnamon sticks (Zimtstangen)
1 lemon stuck with cloves (Gewürzneckeln)
1/2 cup (1/8 liter) brandy

Heat all ingredients except brandy. Simmer gently, covered, for 2-4 minutes. Remove from heat, add brandy, strain, and serve at once.

Serves 4.

Arizona legislature to hold hearing on election integrity, Trump lawyers to attend
[PostMillennial] The Arizona State Legislature will hold a hearing on election integrity Monday, November 30. Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis will be present on behalf of President Donald J. Trump.

The President’s legal team will be present from DC to assist in a fact finding hearing with select members of the Arizona House and Senate and a panel of experts.

The goal of the team is to gather the evidence that justifies calling a special session to contemplate what happened during the election in Arizona and take immediate action.

"We are pleased that the State Legislatures in Pennsylvania, Arizona and Michigan will be convening hearings to examine the November 3rd presidential election," personal attorney to President Donald J. Trump, Jenna Ellis wrote.

Plugs Plans to Pick Cindy McCain as U.K. Ambassador
[Breitbart] Former Vice President Joe Biden is reportedly planning to pick Cindy McCain, the wife of the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), to be the U.S. Ambassador to the U.K.

McCain, 66, a lifelong Republican and Anglophile, is credited with delivering the state of Arizona during the 2020 elections to the Democrats in the state where her husband served as Arizona’s senator from 1987 until his death from cancer in 2018, the Times of London reported.

"It’s hers if she wants it," a Biden insider told the Times. "She delivered Arizona. They know that."

Cindy McCain was one of the most outspoken Republicans against President Donald Trump during the election:
