Catching Up

A lot of what I do is follow up on records. And get frustrated.

A lot happened this past week. And I’m not talking about what happened with Trump.

I got a notice on 22 voters we found in Gwinnett County illegally registered at PO Boxes in the 2020 General Election. The investigator concluded “violations found”.

And this was just one county.

This is a major vindication after almost four years of criticism. I’ve been called an election denier for raising issues with the 2020 General Election because these vulnerabilities should have been caught allowing votes that shouldn’t have been cast.

We worked hard in 2020 to find and verify what seemed like illegal registrations.

If someone wants to get this to Trump’s legal team, please do so!

A “right-wing” analyst had even tried to discredit the work. Interestingly enough, at no point does their “analysis” mention the PO Boxes, which I found extremely telling.

Now, in full transparency, not all my notices were wins. Many weren’t.

I’m sharing this because it’s important to let people know how much work is involved with submitting these as I’ve been the sole point on that aspect.

Despite successes, failure is also a part of the process.

For example, I had submitted two double voters from 2022 GE in GA and PA, but that same investigator believed “no violations found”.

I’d rather lose on this one. I guess it’s possible both were administrative errors.

I also followed up with the Georgia Attorney General’s office on a case from last year.

A woman had moved to South Carolina in 2022, registered there, and voted in Georgia in the 2022 General Election anyway. In November 2023, the Georgia State Board of Elections agreed it was a violation found, and referred her to the AG.

Her name is now a public record, so it’s no longer a secret.

I asked them if the case was open and if I could get the records.

I followed up twice in fact.

They said not only was it open and that they wouldn’t send records, but that they might punt it back to the board of elections or an administrative hearings board.

It’s open, so nothing was sent to me. They’ll either return it, refer it, or kill it.

A friend of mine who does election integrity work commented:

so you report something. it does or does not make it even into GA SOS cases, then it does or doesn't make it to GA SEB who votes to send it or not to the AG. the AG investigates it some more, or not, and when done, sends it back to SEB for them to vote to give a shit or not about whatever the AG found.

this is how we got clown world.

He’s a little more blackpilled than I am.

I replied:

That or the Office of State Administrative Hearings, which was the other option presented. It very well could go there.

Resolution by consent is more cooperative and agreed upon it seems (i.e. consent), where they determine penalties and fines.

The final administrative act is by decree and more punitive from what I'm gleaning.

Basically, they're trying not to tie up the overburdened court system.

I hope I’m right and not being too Pollyanna.

In any case, I also have ten other cases in Georgia beyond the three listed above.

I’m only publicizing names once they become public records.

Now over to Wisconsin where it’s even more frustrating.

I followed up with four District Attorneys on six cases referred to them by the Wisconsin Election Commission, all for PO Box voters illegally registered.

One said they couldn’t do the case because it was a conflict of interest due to their relationship with the accused, but another DA’s office would handle it.

OK, fine, the other DA was mentioned in the original referral so that’s clear now.

Another DA’s office (different case) replied that they didn’t have documentation.

What?

Realizing this is BS, I included the original complaint. I also looped in the election clerk who you would think they’d contact for the evidence.

Lastly, I followed up with a North Carolina county to send its voter records on one of the 14 voters (a Democrat) I’d reported from my precinct.

They said I’m asking to change their voter roll contrary to state and federal law.

So I had to spell out my request and explain why this doesn’t apply.

Either he didn’t read or was just being dismissive.

So that’s pretty much how it goes. It’s not fun or sexy most of the time.

A lot of election integrity work is a tedious grind.

To get results, you do a lot of follow-up communication.

Maybe there’s a more effective way, I’m not sure.

If anybody has done multiple challenges at once resulting in a mass cleaning, I’d love to hear from you. Most mass challenges get rejected because they only use NCOA data and don’t follow up to see what happened.

Over the last four years, I’ve found the one-at-a-time method most effective for results. Remember, challenges are not yet victories.

Well, that or expensive lawsuits.

I read it costs counties/states $3 to mail an envelope to undeliverable addresses, which costs each state millions. I don’t know if that’s true, but I’d imagine it saves taxpayers and campaigns money and time during elections. I just want clean elections.

I’ll post developments as they come, but I struggle with patience and I’ve done this work for a few years.

It is starting to pay off though. I hope to share more progress as it comes. Thank you for following me as we strive for a world with more integrity.
