Given that the courts refuse to hear evidence because they fear getting involved in politics, the citizens must awaken to the need to become observers of the processes. As observers they must object when they see unusual activity. If they are unable to observe, Federal marshals must be on speed dial to enforce the laws already on the books. The signature verification process needs witnesses as does the adjudication process. The current efforts to audit every state must proceed and courts should intervene to ensure they can happen - at least audits should be free of politics. The AZ audit reveals many, many issues beyond the count. Were the ballots ever valid? The public has become aware. Hemingway's book should wake many up.
Cleta Mitchell, senior legal fellow counsel for election integrity with the Conservative Partnership Institute, said in all her years working as an election law attorney, she’s never witnessed all the abnormalities that happened last November, particularly in Fulton County, Georgia.
She also gave a report on the ongoing lawsuit to gain access to the county’s absentee ballots.
“The system that we witnessed in 2020 was not right,” Mitchell said in her newly launched podcast, “Who’s Counting With Cleta Mitchell.”
“I have been an election attorney for many, many years. I’ve done a lot of time at county election boards. I will tell you that I’ve spent many wee hours in the morning counting ballots, waiting for ballots to come in.”
“I’ve never seen what happened in 2020 happen before Nov. 3 of 2020 where the counting stopped before it was finished,” she continued. “I’ve never seen an actual halting of the counting of the ballots.”
Mitchell, who served on former President Donald Trump’s legal team challenging the Georgia election results, said the state was riddled with illegal conduct in last fall’s general election.
She recounted that the first morning after she arrived in Atlanta, a “God thing” occurred when she met Alex Kaufman, the general counsel for the Fulton County Republican Party.
Kaufman was able to give her an overview of some of the issues in the county they had been working to identify over the previous year, including an unsuccessful effort to remove a number of illegal voters from the rolls prior to the election.
That feedback focused the Trump legal team’s efforts to look to the data to see how many ineligible voters may have cast ballots.
She noted that President Joe Biden only won the entire state of Georgia by 11,779 votes, with Fulton County being one of his major bastions of support. He carried the county by approximately 244,000 more votes.
Mitchell explained that if their team could determine there were enough irregularities, including ineligible voters, in Fulton County to potentially impact the outcome, the remedy, by Georgia law, would be to conduct a new election.
Trump’s lawyers filed their suit on Dec. 4 officially contesting the results.
However, the chief judge for Fulton County never assigned a judge from another county to hear the case, as is required by law, Mitchell said.
“So that’s what happened in Georgia. We never got our day in court,” she said.
“There was never an adjudication of the actual claims made in the lawsuit.”
Instead, the Georgia attorney general, on behalf of Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, threatened Trump’s legal team if they did not dismiss the case.
He claimed the state would seek damages “in the multimillions of dollars against President Trump, against David Shafer, who was one of our plaintiffs. He’s the state party chair, and he was a Trump elector. And against the lawyers who brought the lawsuit.”
Mitchell directed some of her sharpest criticism at Raffensperger, calling his handling of the election a “complete disaster.”
He made a series of bad decisions, she contended, that began with his consent decree he entered into with Georgia Democrats, including 2018 gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, which greatly impacted the signature matching requirements for mail-in ballots.
Additionally, contrary to Georgia law, Raffensperger unilaterally directed that absentee ballot applications be sent to every registered voter in the spring of 2020, Mitchell said.
The law states that voters must ask for the application and then fill it out and mail it in, she stated.
“We all know that the voter registration lists are a mess,” she said, meaning many applications likely went out to people no longer living at the address listed.
Besides requesting a ballot for the 2020 primary, applicants were also able to check a box if they also wanted their general election ballots mailed, in violation of state law, which requires voters to request an absentee ballot no more than 180 days from an election, Mitchell added.
“The point is election laws are determined by the state legislatures. That is one of the things our founding fathers wrote into the Constitution,” she said.
Mitchell highlighted that all the changes were made by judges and those in the executive branch.
Despite Trump’s lawsuit not going forward, the lawyer noted there is one still ongoing, brought by election integrity advocate and Fulton County resident Garland Favorito with VoterGa — seeking a review of the actual ballots cast in the county for irregularities.
He has cited the incident at State Farm Arena on election night when party observers and the media were told counting had stopped, only for it to resume for nearly two more hours soon thereafter.
Video captured of the incident showed what appeared to be ballots being feed through counting machines multiple times, according to Mitchell:
GA is just one of the places that odd things took place, contrary to laws in place. That the courts refuse to hear matters of law is appalling. Once the election was certified noting matters afterward because there is no remedy for justice. It's tragic that so much venom was directed at one person, simply because he wasn't one of the political insiders.
No doubt in my mind this is what has happened very well written article and post. I really don’t believe that will ever have another honest election unless this system gets fixed in a radical way. Something like back to paper ballots and hand counts is the only way out of this if we keep using computers are republic is doomed.
I think it is going to take mass demonstrations and civil disobedience to flip the fear from the people to a fear of the people by the powers that be. Threaten these motor fookers with a revolution if they don't straighten their act up.

By honoring members of the press, the Nobel committee recognized that investigative journalism represents one of the most powerful yet overlooked tools in the fight against global authoritarianism.
The crisis facing journalism and the crisis befalling democracy are related. Authoritarian rulers have understood that traditional, independent media outlets have for some time been in difficult financial straits. The migration online of advertising revenue that used to support newspapers and magazines has led to an estimated $30 billion revenue loss in 2020 alone for free-standing newspapers worldwide, according to Oxford University’s Reuters Institute.
At the same time, in a media-soaked society, authoritarians view hard-hitting reportage as a direct threat to their rule and use extreme means to counter it. Targeted killings of journalists worldwide spiked in 2020, with the number killed doubling over the year before—something the newly named Nobel laureate Muratov knows all too well, having seen six members of his newspaper’s staff killed since 2000.
Last year also saw an all-time high in the recorded number of journalists in jail, 274—the fifth consecutive year that this grim census has numbered above 250. Beyond actual violence and prosecutions, authorities plague journalists with threats, extrajudicial intimidation, audits, registration requirements, visa hurdles, travel prohibitions, and an ever-evolving array of other hurdles. Governments are also reaching beyond their own borders to target and menace journalists who have fled to exile.

Today, people around the world praise Ressa and Muratov for their courage and their work. Tomorrow, they must make good on that praise by taking action to fight the long arm of authoritarianism that threatens to silence journalists and writers around the world.
Left unsaid and laying in the margins is the issue of the mainstream western press, especially the corporate press in the US, which uses "softer weapons' to intimidate journalists who write against the suppression of the truth in America. The situation of Julian Assange & Edward are glaringly missing in the article above. The suppression of the scientists and doctors speaking out about the phony pandemic and the toxic so-called vaccines isn't mentioned either...
The word is mum about Twitter, Facebook and YouTube ie; corporatist censorship.
Unmentioned is the fact the the US has become a 'banana republic' since the stealing of the 2020 presidential election. Or the fact that the US is a panoptic maximum security state that has developed steadily harsher since its establishment in 1947.
The 'Free Press' is an illusion in the United States, only kept alive through citizen journalist like those writing here on this forum, and a few outlets like OEN and FOX News, and various web news sources.
More than half of surveyed Americans believe 2020 election cheating was likely

A new poll of likely voters revealed more than half of those surveyed believed cheating impacted the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, according to Rasmussen Reports.
