Greetings and welcome to the FreedomSplash podcast for Thursday, December 22, 2022
Position of the courts
Up to now, conservatives have been at a huge disadvantage challenging election procedures and results.
Mailin ballot fraud, conspiracy between supposedly nonpartisan election officials and democrat hacks
But changes are coming and are already showing their effects
Georgia supreme court permits case to move forward
Case to examine paper ballots was dismissed for “lack of standing” last fall
Supreme court ordered the lower court to take up the case again
Same thing driving Kari Lake case in AZ based on federal court ruling allowing plaintiffs to sue for unspecified damages
Who decides about elections? Courts or legislatures?
Position of the Congress
Appropriations bill passes Senate to avoid government shutdown
Gives the VP ceremonial role in overseeing electoral count (violates the Constitution)
Text of the twelfth amendment governing tallying the electoral college votes
Position of localities
GE city reclaims is election responsibilities from Fulton County officials
Discovered that centralizing elections didn’t save them any money but cost them 2-3 times as much
Typical liberal nonsense always costs more
PA county to recount 2020 ballots
Lycoming County to recount ballots due to pressure from residents concerning transparency
5000 residents (out of 70,000 registered voters) signed petition to hand recount the ballots
And we are seeing more counties (MI, NH, NM, AZ) hand count their votes rather than rely on machines
These counties usually report anywhere from 6% to 25% error rates
Position of GOP
Trump made it harder for the GOP elites to control the primary process per McConnell
Mike Lindell is funding Kari Lake’s legal fees & challenges
Where is Trump? Where is GOP? Why should Trump support current GOP leadership?
AZ Lawsuits
Initial suits were all dismissed, including Kari Lake, AG candidate and
Rural voters in AZ get short end of stick because of Maricopa County problems
But the official narrative from the election continued to fall apart
Maricopa County added 25,000 ballots after election deadline
Maricopa County judge summarizes election
“I have no confidence at all this election was run fairly”
Whistleblowers say tens to hundreds of thousands of mail-in ballot signatures not properly verified
Then, first victory in Kari Lake lawsuit, and
Judge allows suit to continue but throws out easy things to prove and keeps the hardest parts
However, Kari Lake pulls the subpoena of Katie Hobbs, so she won’t have to testify
Trial began yesterday and continues today
AZ AG candidate also wins his ability to bring lawsuit in court – trial after 1st of year
My observations from the trial
Kari Lake attorney seems disorganized, defense lawyers obstruct (they have nothing) & judge is paying close attention while taking his own notes
Plaintiff (Kari Lake) is making huge gains about Maricopa County officials:
new revelations about paper size, not ink amounts
audit trail non-existence
Ignoring (i.e. violating) AZ election law
This is the FreedomSplash podcast – a wave of freedom is washing across America!
Until next time, goodbye!
