The New Georgia Project, a voter registration group formerly led by Georgia Democratic Senate candidate Raphael Warnock, is under investigation for allegedly sending ballot applications to non-residents, the Georgia secretary of state said Monday.

Warnock was CEO of the group, which was originally founded by failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, until February. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced the group, and three others, are under investigation for improper registration activities.

While Raffensperger, a Republican who has been vocal in debunking President Trump’s claims of election fraud, said that he has not seen signs of widespread, systemic fraud, there is evidence of “third-party groups working to register people in other states to vote here in Georgia.”

Raffensperger said the New Georgia Project “sent voter registration applications to New York City,” in a potential violation of state law.

“Voting in Georgia when you are not a resident of Georgia is a felony,” Raffensperger said. “These third-party groups have a responsibility to not encourage illegal voting. If they do so, they will be held responsible.”

There are landslides and then there are landslides. There are lopsided votes and then there are lopsided votes. There are egregious examples of vote manipulation and then there are really egregious examples of vote manipulation. What surfaced during hearings in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, on November 25, 2020, may set the standard for electoral outrageousness. An expert testifying to the Pennsylvania Senate flagged a batch of ballots that recorded some 570,000 votes for Joe Biden and only 3,200 for Donald Trump.

Yes, you read that correctly. That would equate to Joe Biden bagging 99.4 percent of that enormous chunk of votes. That one batch alone would have flipped the state to Biden.

This bombshell was dropped last Wednesday at the Wyndham Hotel in Gettysburg. The November 25 hearings, which began at 12:30 p.m. and ran for nearly four hours, were convened at the request of Sen. Doug Mastriano (R-Adams, Cumberland, Franklin, and York counties). It was sponsored by the Senate Majority Policy Committee, chaired by Sen. David Argall (R-Berks/Schuylkill). Mastriano has called what happened “unacceptable,” and has called for the resignation of Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar.

This particular gem was provided by Ret. Col. Phil Waldren, a former combat officer with a background in Army information and electronic warfare. Waldren, who testified along with Rudy Giuliani’s team, brought to the hearing his considerable expertise in analysis of election-data fraud. After Waldren presented his material, the chair opened the floor for questions. Rudy Giuliani went first, asking Waldren to clarify what his analytics team means when they talk about “spike anomalies” in voting patterns. These, as Waldren defines them, are “events where a numerical amount of votes are processed in a time period that is not feasible or mechanically possible under normal circumstances.” Waldren showed a chart with a shocking example of an apparent massive dump of votes for Joe Biden. Giuliani pressed Waldren for clarification regarding this unbelievable “Biden injection of votes.” Here’s the exchange:

Has the Democratic Party perpetrated an electoral fraud? As with any crime—or alleged crime—we have to consider the means and the motive. The first part of that is easy enough to answer. Electoral fraud is an established part of American political life. In November 1960, for instance, incumbent Vice-President Richard Nixon conceded the presidential race to John Kennedy despite believing Mayor Daley’s Democratic machine had intervened to deprive him of victory in Illinois and his place in the White House. Electoral fraud was doable then and, with the exponential rise in mailed-in ballots and manipulatable electronic computations, even more doable now. This brings us to the matter of motive. Why would a municipal employee or a party apparatchik, often the same person, flout the law by subverting the electoral process? Easy. If I believed Donald Trump was a latter-day Benito Mussolini or even Adolf Hitler, it would be incumbent upon me to do everything—even “interrupting” democracy—in order to save democracy. There is, after all, no point playing by the rules when faced with the Prince of Darkness.

The American republic, as we have known it, is in crisis. The nation has largely divided into two warring tribes who view the other as a mortal—and civilisational—enemy. Extremism is not exactly new in the US, although in the past the demarcation line between normal and nutty ran through the parties and not between them. In 1960, for instance, the Democrats were an unlikely alliance of liberals, Dixiecrats and pragmatic opportunists like the Kennedys. JFK had been a family friend of Joe McCarthy and throughout the 1960 presidential race outflanked Nixon, one of the original Cold Warriors, by insisting that the Eisenhower–Nixon administration had allowed a “missile gap” to open up between the Soviets and the US. Long before he decided to run for the White House, Kennedy had believed Nixon was better suited than any other politician of their generation to succeed Eisenhower as President. So, when Nixon placed the standing or reputation of the democratic process before his own personal ambition, he was yielding to a man who fundamentally shared his worldview. He was not handing the White House to somebody he feared would destroy the American republic.

Wisconsin now appears to have the same legal problem as Pennsylvania. Will Badger State Republicans, who hold a significant majority in both the state house and senate, follow their lead?

Nearly 7 million absentee votes were cast, mostly for Joe Biden, in the three states responsible for his presumptive win; a mere 250,000 votes now separate Biden from Donald Trump in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania.

Trump’s victory in that once solid “blue wall” in 2016—Wisconsin last elected a Republican president in 1984—shocked the nation and elevated him to the presidency. The pivotal Rust Belt states have something else in common: according to state election laws, mail-in ballots cannot be processed prior to 7 a.m. on Election Day. (Michigan has a slight caveat for larger cities, which allows ballot inspection to begin the day before.)

As I wrote last week, it’s clear that Pennsylvania election officials violated the law by alerting voters to correct mistakes on or “cure” their mail-in ballots days before Election Day. This means not only were election workers inspecting mail-in envelopes in advance of the legal deadline, the unlawful pre-canvassing occurred without observers present, another obvious violation. 

Further, Pennsylvania is one of several states that does not have a ballot “curing” provision on the books. “Ballot curing refers to the process by which voters can correct mistakes—such as a missing or mismatched signature—with an absentee/mail-in ballot so that the ballot can be counted,” according to Ballotpedia, an online repository of election data and information. “Ballot curing provisions lay out this process in state law. States without such provisions do not count absentee/mail-in ballots with errors.” Pennsylvania voters had the option to check a database to see if their ballot had been rejected; if so, the voter needed to request a provisional ballot, not correct the existing one.

What’s left of the system must continue to be worked, but an audacity is now called for, a willingness to stretch institutional bonds to a degree that genuinely alarms our conniving subverters.

A decisive moment comes and passes, a fleeting chance for action. People rise to the occasion or not, their measure taken and place in history assigned.

We, the citizens of the United States, have reached such a moment. For those who still remember the old republic, the questions it poses are self-evident. Do we make a stand or nervelessly surrender our rights? Do we affirm ourselves citizens—an historically rare and noble title—or do we accept becoming subjects, the fate of most humankind? 

We might, of course, hope for a quiet subjecthood, one in which our rulers permit us to go about our lives reasonably undisturbed. But that would no longer be our call, only their clemency.

In the course of this lamentable year, we’ve seen the clemency of our aspiring seigneurs on full display. It clearly doesn’t extend to our laws which they impudently flout. Nor to the truth, which they smoother or twist in caricature. Nor to property, which they seize by decree or have their Blackshirts burn. Nor to the American past, American institutions, and American traditions that they hate and trash. If we choose to submit to their mercies, we shouldn’t imagine they’ll long be tender.                 

Some have been arguing that we ought just to get on with it, accept the media-hyped election results and prepare for more winnable battles down the road. But as evidence of grotesque irregularities continues to pile up, it becomes ever harder to accept that time-honored bromide with equanimity.

In the wee hours of Thanksgiving Day, the Amistad Project of the Thomas More Society filed an explosive election lawsuit asking Michigan’s Supreme Court to prevent Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson from certifying the election results until the Michigan legislature can fully investigate fraud claims and to force election officials to hand over all election materials to the legislature for this purpose. The lawsuit claims that officials illegally counted or threw out no fewer than 508,016 ballots, far more than Joe Biden’s 154,000-vote margin over Donald Trump.

“State and local officials brazenly violated election laws in order to advance a partisan political agenda,” Phil Kline, director of The Amistad Project, said in a statement. “The pattern of lawlessness was so pervasive and widespread that it deprived the people of Michigan of a free and fair election, throwing the integrity of the entire process into question.”

The Amistad Project is representing two female Michigan voters, Angelic Johnson and Linda Lee Tarver, who claim that election officials effectively robbed them of their votes by illegally undermining a fair election. In an interview with PJ Media, Ian Northon, an attorney representing Johnson and Tarver, explained the seven types of illegal counting the lawsuit alleges.

Citing state records, the lawsuit claims that Benson’s office sent out 355,392 unsolicited ballots. Northon explained that Michigan law requires two signatures for absentee voting: a signature on an application form and a signature on the security sleeve for the ballot. In this election, officials mailed out more than 300,000 ballots that no one had requested.

“They didn’t request them. You’ve just flooded the market with unsolicited ballots. No good can come of that,” Northon insisted.

“Fueled by political flat-earthers who flout the obvious and repeat the lie, the left hopes that running out the clock will unseat Trump and win the day.  In the meantime, thanks to cognitive immunization, motivated reasoning, and passive thinking, our deeply divided nation teeters on a precipice where “sufficient evidence” of fraud is considered insufficient, and insufficient evidence moral justification for a coup.”

In an 1877 essay entitled “The Ethics of Belief,” British philosopher and mathematician William Kingdon Clifford argued that society has a “moral obligation” to believe only in what is supported by sufficient evidence. Clifford wrote, “it is wrong always, everywhere, and for anyone, to believe anything upon insufficient evidence.”

In like manner then, dismissing as untrue what sufficient evidence proves to be true should also be avoided.  The problem is that in politics, progressives are like flat-earthers and embody the antithesis of the truth-seeking Clifford addressed in his centuries-old essay.

For the likes of Pelosi, Biden, Obama and Co., belief and disbelief depend solely on political expedience, not verifiable proof.  For example, the progressive left touts science while insisting that babies in the womb are incapable of feeling pain, that plastic drinking straws destroy the planet, that illegal felons contribute to society, and that gender is no longer limited to just XY and XX.  Progressives also ignore sound data in order to promote falsehoods like law enforcement indiscriminately murders Black men, the Second Amendment kills people, and Caucasian males are racist, illiterate hayseeds.

In leftist circles, evidence holds no authority over strong belief. Thus, progressives adhere to a mythical gospel whose inherency is altered based on partisan necessity. The left display what psychologists define as “cognitive immunization.” Hence, it’s not a COVID vaccine that needs to be fast-tracked, but a societal antidote to a virus that half the country has adopted via media inoculation, political indoctrination, and public education.

A lot of GOP establishment types would like President Trump to stop speaking out against election fraud. They claim it endangers Republican control of the Senate.

There’s no question that Schumer and the Democrats taking over the Senate would be the worst days of Obama’s first two years brought to life again. And then some. Democrats have embraced dreams of packing the Senate and the Supreme Court to create a one-party state. And with at least some Republican senators amenable to their proposals, like statehood for Puerto Rico, it wouldn’t take much for Democrats to come within spitting distance of a one-party state.

President Trump knows that. 

It’s why he and Don Jr. have made campaigning in Georgia a priority. And while there have been assorted grifters and Democrat operatives pretending to be Trump supporters who have called for a boycott of the Senate race, or writing in Trump’s name, he’s made it clear that he doesn’t want that.

And that doesn’t conflict with a fight against election fraud. It’s possible to fight election fraud and fight for the Senate.

Some people on both sides of the issue seem to have problems with that, but strategy isn’t black and white. Political battles are fought on multiple fronts. Some conservatives have fallen into the conviction that elections are now unwinnable. They’re not. Election fraud is not a new problem. President Trump won in 2016 despite it. Some of the claims of election fraud have led some conservatives to believe that election fraud is an omnipotent force that can rig any election.

It’s not. Otherwise, Democrats would have taken the Senate free and clear, and expanded their lead in the House, instead of shedding seats.

Conservatives should be doing a better job of speaking out about that. And conservatives who decide not to vote, like Never Trumpers, are electing Democrats.
