Trump Wins Alaska, Decision Desk HQ Projects

Decision Desk HQ called Alaska for President Donald Trump on Wednesday morning, awarding him the state’s three electoral votes on the outlet’s election map.

Decision Desk HQ is the first major outlet to award the state to Trump over Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden. The call comes more than a week after election day on Nov. 3 and is one of the final states to be called by any major election decision desk. The state, which has elected an all-Republican congressional delegation, was widely expected to go to Trump despite significant delays in tallying its votes. . .

Decision Desk HQ declared Biden the winner of the presidential race over the weekend after projecting him to win Pennsylvania. A number of other major media companies followed suit, most after awarding the former vice president the state of Pennsylvania and pushing the Democratic candidate above 270 electoral votes on their election projection maps.

Here’s the Number of Biden Ballots That Need to Be Invalidated In Order to Get the House Involved; Michigan AG Threatens Journalist Exposing Vote Fraud

By Townhall.. . .Right now, the turnout in Wayne County, Michigan, which encompasses Detroit, looks like it’s too much to overcome. The city turned out enough to put Biden over the top in the immediate, but Arizona, Georgia, and Wisconsin are very close. Given the voter fraud allegations we’ve seen, it won’t take that many invalidated Biden ballots to make 2020 very interesting. And by that, I mean with a Trump win. Right now, in those three states, less than 50,000 ballots total (47,852 to be exact) need to be tossed over these voter integrity concerns in these three states. That’s it. Given that votes are being counted, let’s say a minimum of between 45,000-50,000 need to be trashed for Trump to clinch these states and end the 2020 cycle with a 269-269 Electoral College tie.

Michigan AG Threatens Journalist Exposing Vote Fraud

By WND. Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel sent a “cease and desist” letter to a website that published evidence prior to the election that Detroit poll workers were trained to engage in and cover up vote fraud.

Nessel is contesting Big League Politics reporter Shen Trejo’s reporting that poll workers bragged they were committing voter fraud in a variety of different ways, the Gateway Pundit reported.

Trejo, who says he witnessed vote fraud in Detroit, considers the AG’s letter to be “witness intimidation” and fears it will be used as a pretext for criminal action.

In a later date Oct. 28 and received Nov. 9, Nessel cites two or three factual errors in Trejo’s extensive reporting and demands that every article related to his #DetroitLeaks series be removed from the internet, the Gateway Pundit said.

Trejo reported Detroit poll workers were trained how to lie, how to handle ballot challenges from Trump supporters, told to call 911 on any challengers and to use COVID as an excuse to deny poll challengers access to viewing the ballots as they were being counted and tabulated. Even challenged ballots were to be processed as regular ballots. (Read more from “Michigan AG Threatens Journalist Exposing Vote Fraud” HERE)

Biden May Sue GSA Because It’s Not Obeying the Media’s Decision of Who Won

President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team is threatening legal action over the Trump administration’s refusal to formally begin the transition process – as President Trump carried out a post-election purge of agency heads and regulators in the bureaucracy.

Biden’s team is setting its sights on a federal agency’s delay in recognizing the Democrat’s victory over President Donald Trump in last week’s election.

The General Services Administration (GSA) normally recognizes a presidential candidate when it becomes clear who has won an election so that a transition of power can begin.

But the Trump-nominated official who runs the agencies has refused to assess the election being decided in Joe Biden’s favor, despite TV networks calling the race for Biden on Saturday after he secured enough electoral votes to secure the presidency.

The law does not clearly spell out when the GSA must act, but Biden transition officials say their victory is clear and a delay is not justified, even as Trump refuses to concede defeat. (Read more from “Biden May Sue GSA Because It’s Not Obeying the Media’s Decision of Who’s President” HERE)

Iraq Reacts To Joe Biden: ‘We Don’t Want Obama’s Policies’

AFP on Sunday found Iraq divided over the U.S. presidential election. Pro-Iran factions, including terrorist groups like the one that killed an American civilian contractor near Kirkuk in December 2019, were pleased to hear that American media outlets had proclaimed President Donald Trump lost the election to challenger Joe Biden.

Others were unhappy with that outcome, especially those who feared a Biden victory would embolden Iran and its proxies in Iraq.

Iran-controlled factions in Iraq were excited by President Trump’s reported defeat, since they hold him responsible for the “greatest crime” of ordering airstrikes that killed Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commander Gen. Qasem Soleimani and one of his most important Iraqi allies, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, co-founder of the Kataeb Hezbollah (KH) terrorist organization.

KH is the Iran-controlled Shiite militia that launched rocket attacks against Iraqi bases hosting U.S. personnel in late 2019. One of KH’s rocket attacks killed civilian contractor Nawres Hamid, a 33-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen, on December 27. Trump responded with the airstrike that killed Soleimani and Muhandis in January and later threatened sanctions after the Iraqi parliament voted to expel all foreign troops.

“Trump’s era was a very negative one, a period of demolition. We hope the new administration will resolve this, by ending the crisis and withdrawing its troops,” KH spokesman Mohammad Mohyi told AFP. (Read more from “Iraq Reacts To Joe Biden: ‘We Don’t Want Obama’s Policies’” HERE)

Decision Desk HQ Calls North Carolina for Trump

One week after America went to the polls, a new projection has said President Donald Trump will win the battleground state of North Carolina.

“Decision Desk HQ Projects Trump (R) Has Won The State Of NC And Its 15 Electoral Votes Race Called At 11-10 1:41 PM,” Decision Desk HQ tweeted Tuesday. . .

Current results from across the nation give presumptive potential president-elect Joe Biden the edge, and he was declared the winner on Saturday by several media organizations. (Read more from “Decision Desk HQ Calls North Carolina for Trump” HERE)

Lawsuit: Election Workers Coached Voters to Pick Biden; Whistleblower Describes Biden Van Vote Factory in Signed Affidavit

By WND. The Great Lakes Justice Center has filed a lawsuit in Detroit alleging election fraud in the 2020 presidential race. . .

Among the allegations are:

Ballots were counted even though the voter’s name did not appear in the official voter rolls. . .

Defendants used false information to process ballots, such as using incorrect or false birthdays. Many times, the election workers inserted new names into the QVF and recorded these new voters as having a birthdate of 1/1/1900. . .

Defendants coached voters to vote for Joe Biden and the Democratic Party. Election workers went to the voting booths with voters to watch them vote and coach them. (Read more from “Lawsuit: Election Workers Coached Voters to Pick Biden” HERE)

Nevada Whistleblower Describes Biden Van Vote Factory in Signed Affidavit

By Washington Examiner. A second sworn affidavit from a whistleblower who was an election worker in Clark County, Nevada, claims mail-in ballots were improperly filled out in a Biden-Harris van outside a polling place.

A redacted copy of the affidavit signed on Nov. 8 and obtained by the Washington Examiner puts weight behind some of the claims first detailed by American Conservative Union President Matt Schlapp, who is helping lead the charge for the president’s legal efforts in Nevada. In a Sunday press conference, Schlapp said that an election worker saw a van “marked Biden-Harris” with open ballots inside.

The whistleblower, who worked as a poll worker from Oct. 17-30, complained about a Biden-Harris bus or van that was often stationed outside the polling place that would often have “speakers, dancers, music and other festivities going on” and whose organizers had to be told “several times a day” to “stay 100 feet from the polling location.” He also said that voters without proper identification were permitted to cast provisional ballots.

The biggest shock claim, though, dealt with improperly filled out ballots in the van belonging to supporters of presumptive President-elect Joe Biden, whom he saw while on a lunch break walk on Oct. 28 or 29.

“I personally witnessed two people handing multiple unopened mail in ballot envelopes to two other people who then opened and filled out the ballots against the side of the Biden/Harris van,” the affidavit said. “The same two people who marked the ballots then put the marked ballots in official pink and white envelopes. These people were not poll workers.” (Read more from “Nevada Whistleblower Describes Biden Van Vote Factory in Signed Affidavit” HERE)

Judicial Watch: 1.8 Million More Voters Registered Than Eligible Citizens

On Monday, a report was issued indicating that among 353 U.S. counties, 1.8 million more voters might have been registered than eligible voting-age citizens.

Judicial Watch (JW) revealed the results of their 2020 study showing that the total in the counties of registration rates surpassed 100% of eligible voters. The eight states where state-wide registration rates exceeded 100% included Alaska, Colorado, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Vermont.

“The September 2020 study collected the most recent registration data posted online by the states themselves. This data was then compared to the Census Bureau’s most recent five-year population estimates, gathered by the American Community Survey (ACS) from 2014 through 2018. ACS surveys are sent to 3.5 million addresses each month, and its five-year estimates are considered to be the most reliable estimates outside of the decennial census,” Judicial Watch explained.

Judicial Watch pointed out that certain states might have excluded “inactive voters” from their data. Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton concluded, “The new study shows 1.8 million excess, or ‘ghost’ voters in 353 counties across 29 states. The data highlights the recklessness of mailing blindly ballots and ballot applications to voter registration lists. Dirty voting rolls can mean dirty elections.” (Read more from “Judicial Watch: 1.8 Million More Voters Registered Than Eligible Citizens” HERE)

Donald Trump Vows To Fight After Media Declares Biden ‘Win’; SCOTUS Orders Pennsylvania to Separate Ballots Arriving After Election Day; Biden’s Lead in Georgia Expands

By Breitbart. President Donald Trump vowed Friday to continue fighting for an accurate election count of the presidential election, as former Vice President Joe Biden prepares to declare victory.

“We believe the American people deserve to have full transparency into all vote counting and election certification, and that this is no longer about any single election,” Trump wrote in a statement released by his re-election campaign. “This is about the integrity of our entire election process.”

Trump issued his statement after the Biden campaign announced preparations for a prime time speech from Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) and Biden on Friday evening. The speech is scheduled for 8:00 p.m.

Biden began tallying leads in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Arizona — states that Trump needs to win in order to get re-elected. . .

“This election is not over,” Trump 2020 campaign general counsel Matt Morgan said in a statement. “The false projection of Joe Biden as the winner is based on results in four states that are far from final.” (Read more from “Donald Trump Vows To Fight After Media Declares Biden ‘Win'” HERE)

Decision Desk: Joe Biden Has Won. Here’s What Comes Next.

By Vox. Joe Biden — a former two-term vice president under Barack Obama and 36-year Senate veteran — will be the 46th president of the United States. His running mate, California Sen. Kamala Harris, will become the first woman, first African American, and first Indian American to serve as vice president.

The Democratic nominee is the projected winner in enough states to win 270 electoral votes. The state of Pennsylvania, which Hillary Clinton lost in 2016, was called by our partners at Decision Desk for Biden just before 9 am ET on November 6, clinching the electoral win in a tightly contested vote that drew historic turnout. (For more on how Decision Desk and other outlets call elections, read our explainer here.)

Biden’s Lead in Georgia Expands From 1,500 to 4,263 – So Will There Still Have to Be a Recount?

By Daily Mail. Joe Biden’s lead in Georgia suddenly expanded on Friday from 1,500 to 4,263 after officials said the race was so close that a recount there would be inevitable.

Biden now leads in Georgia 49.4% to Trump’s 49.3%. Georgia holds 16 electoral college votes. If Biden were to win it, he would only need to hold his lead in one of the other three states still at play; Arizona, Nevada or Pennsylvania.

A candidate can request a recount in Georgia if the margin is less than 0.5%. Right now, it is well within that at 0.1%. It is unclear now how many more votes there are to count in Georgia.

SCOTUS Orders Pennsylvania to Separate Ballots Arriving After Election Day

By Townhall. A few hours after the Trump campaign filed an emergency appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court over late-arriving ballots in Pennsylvania, the Supreme Court ordered Pennsylvania election officials to separate ballots arriving after 8 p.m. on Election Day and to count the late ballots separately.

The Trump campaign filed an emergency appeal on Friday asking the court to make sure Pennsylvania’s 67 county boards are separating late-arriving ballots as ordered by Pennsylvania’s Secretary of State.

Election Theft: The Socialist Democrat Party’s Attempt at Voter Suppression

What America voters witnessed over the last three months, was the Socialist Democrat Party’s attempt at Voter Suppression, in order to try to convince and mislead voters to believe that it would be hopeless to vote for President Trump, because the Anti-Trump polls were so overwhelming in favor of Joe Biden, in some cases, by over 18%. The message that was being force fed to all Americans was that there would be a Blue Wave that would convincingly elect Joe Biden and take control of both houses of Congress.

That three-month active effort at Voter Suppression was aggressively supported and promoted by the left of center liberal Main Stream Media that was coordinated and supported, by multiple media outlets. There was a continuing daily effort to distribute false Anti-Trump polls, projecting that Joe Biden was so far ahead, that voting for President Trump would be hopeless. The Voter Suppression plan, and the follow on effort to remove President Donald Trump from office, was developed by the Socialist Democrat Party, Nazi collaborator George Soros, and the Organization For Action.

On election day, because of the actual election results, the Anti-Trump polls that filled the airwaves were proven to be grossly inaccurate, just as the Anti-Trump polls were proven to be grossly inaccurate in 2016. Yet the Main Stream Media, that works closely in lock step with Communist China’s press guidelines, continued to hammer home, on a daily basis, that Socialist Democrats would easily win in TX, FL, OH, IA, GA, SC, AZ, NV, etc., resulting in a win for Joe Biden on election day (that didn’t happen).

The Main Stream Media also promoted the false theme that the US Senate would shift from Republican control to the Socialist Democrat control (another false story, since Republicans will end up in control of the Senate), and that control of the US House would be substantially enhanced by the election of 20 new Democrat Representatives (Democrats actually lost 8 seats in the US House, and most probably 2 additional Republican House seats will be elected).

While the three-month period of active Voter Suppression was underway, for the first time in 244-years, Governors of Blue States coordinated their effort to change the way Americans the voters in their states would be encouraged to vote for the election of the US President. The Governors of those Blue States said they would send a new “vote by mail ballot” to every resident in their respective states, in light of the threat of the COVID-19, so voters could vote by mail, instead of going to the polls to vote. The only legal way a state can change the method for their residents to vote to elect someone to a political office, is to have the state legislature vote to pass a measure to change the method of elections in the state, and then the Governor would have to sign the measure into law. A written order issued by a Governor or an order issued by the judge of a court to change the method of electing the US President would be and was an illegal act.

Yet the Governors of Democrat states coordinated the mailing of 82 million newly created “vote by mail ballot” to every residents in their states, when a valid request by a resident for a legal Absentee Ballot would have been a satisfactory remedy for any voter who was hesitant to go to the polls to vote, because they had a fear of being infected with COVID-19. Those “vote by mail ballots” were sent to thousands of unregistered voter in those Democrat states, the ability for the Republicans to determine if those 82 million residents were registered voters would be an impossible task—-many of them were unregistered voters and should not have voted. Those “mail by vote ballots” may have been sent to incorrect addresses in some cases, were sent to voters who no longer lived in the state, were sent to deceased voters, and were sent to some of the 20+ million Illegal Aliens ineligible to vote who were residing illegally in that state.

American voters didn’t have to be computer scientists to understand that, for the first time in 244-years, their Governors of Blue States were illegally changing the method by which they were instructing the residents in their states to elect a US President, in sending 82 million a newly created “vote by mail ballot” to resident in their states, who in many cases were not registered to vote, and their action ultimately resulted is massive Voter Fraud, by millions of voters who were not registered to vote.

What has been happening with those “vote by mail ballots” in Nevada, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, with the support of the left of center Main Stream Media trying to defuse voting concerns, is nothing short of election theft. It is unambiguous to anyone who is paying attention, that there has been multiple cases of Voter Fraud because Republicans could not get close enough to even see “vote by mail ballots” to determine if the “vote by mail ballot” was submitted by a legal voter, if the date on the envelope was valid to allow the vote to be counted, if the signature on the ballot matched the signature of the registered voter, etc. Many varied witnesses came forward to report what they considered illegal actions in counting ballots.

For instance, a relative of a deceased person came forward to report the deceased person voted, a voter stated they weren’t allowed to vote because someone already voted in their name, a voter who would have been 118 and 112 years of age was reported as having voted, state poll workers were observed to be filling out information on “vote by mail ballots”, a video of a Republican Poll Watchers being ejected from the locations where they were authorized to watch vote counting was submitted, although a judge had ordered a county to allow Republican Poll Watchers to observe the counting of votes that the legal order was ignored, over 3000 votes were cast by voters who no longer lived in the state where the votes were cast, in Marysville, MI 500 Trump Absentee Ballots were found dumped in the trash (other Trump Absentee Ballots were found that were never submitted), windows for residents to view the counting of votes were covered over with paper to prevent those residents from seeing how votes were being counted, and there was so much more.

In Arizona, although the Board of Elections had still not counted over 600,000 votes that were actually cast on election day, all the News Networks, including FOX News, called the Arizona election for Joe Biden. Four days later 300,000 of those votes still had not been counted. The much larger states of FL, OH, and TX and other states like UT and IA counted all their votes and Absentee Ballots on election day, yet MI, PA, NV, WI, and GA in lock step, were stopping the counting of votes and ballots at 10:00 PM every night. Four days after voting closed on election day, PA, NV, and GA were still counting votes and ballots.

Republicans were having trouble revealing the nature of massive Voter Fraud in many states, because the Main Stream Media and Big Tech were making light of their concerns about Voter Fraud, while Big Tech was censuring a Tweet from President Trump. For four days, Republicans had been trying, without success, to verify that only “legal votes” were being counted, they felt they had no other recourse, but to begin filing law suits in Nevada, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan to obtain the transparency that was being covered up, to seek meaningful redress, and to have Poll Watchers to be given access close enough to actually see how votes and ballots were being counted, in a fair process.

Republican Poll Watchers had serious concerns that the votes of people who were no longer residents in the state were being recorded as valid, that the votes of deceased people were being counted, that votes of Illegal Aliens who were not authorized to vote were being illegally counted, voters who were well over 100 years of age were reported as having voted, late arriving “mail-in ballots” were being illegally counted, and incompletely filled in “mail in ballots” were filled in by state employees and being counted, that multiple “mail in ballots” had been submitted by the same person, etc.

In light of the thousands of reports of Voter Fraud, it appears that the Presidential election seems to have been stolen right before the eyes of millions of American voters, and that this process with millions of “vote by mail ballots” had corrupted this election, and would corrupt future elections. There were reports that Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, and Pennsylvania had stopped counting ballots at 10:00PM until the next day, and that different unverified batches of “vote by mail ballots” materialized surprisingly overnight and were then delivered to the Board of Elections in states those had stopped counting votes the previous night, so those new “vote by mail ballots” could be included to be counted as votes on the next day.

In the crucial battleground state of Michigan, a postal worker came forward and alleged that he was ordered to backdate late “mail in ballots” to make them valid.

Also in Michigan, a late night observer informed authorities that an unverified new batch of 138,339 “mail in ballots” were delivered overnight, after the deadline for submission of “vote by mail ballots”, and they were all counted as valid votes only for Joe Biden, while at the same time they disenfranchising the Senate race of John James, who up to that point was far ahead of Senator Peters in their Senate race in Michigan. That batch of 138,339 “vote by mail ballots” yielded ZERO votes for President Trump, that would have been virtually impossible if that batch of “vote by mail ballots” were a normal mix of ballots.

In a number of cases, Blue State Election Officials wouldn’t allow Republican Poll Watchers to observe the ballot counts at ballot tables in the Board of Elections. Republican Poll Watchers were blocked and kept 100 feet away from viewing “vote by mail ballots” and they were not close enough to actually see if the “vote by mail ballot” was valid to be counted as a vote. Some Poll Watchers were actually forcibly escorted out of the building. Republican Poll Watchers observed state ballot counters accepting “vote by mail ballots” at ballot tables, after discarding the ballot envelopes with postal dates, preventing the Poll Watcher from seeing the date on the envelopes. The tally of the “vote by mail ballots” has been intentionally unfairly flawed and counting those votes was a corrupt process of sequestering how votes were being counted to cover up Voter Fraud.

Some Americans who recognize the disgusting nature of this coup d’état that is underway will complain and wonder what can be done, others will file law suits in various states, legal complaints will wind their way thru state and federal courts, and Chief Justice Roberts may continue in his reluctance to allow the Supreme Court to get involved in what he considers a very complex political conflict on how votes should have been counted.

It seems perfectly clear that the Social Democrats believe that the fix is in, and that they perpetrated a well-organized coup d’état, hoping American voters will move on. The sinister plot hatched to perpetrate “Election Theft” was organized by the Socialist Democrat Party, Nazi Collaborator George Soros, and the Organization For Action. It reveals just how deep and sinister their goals have been since the beginning of the Voter Suppression plan, and moving from that plan to the Massive Voter Fraud that is currently underway; their ultimate short term goal will be to remove Joe Biden by activating provisions of the 25th Amendment, and the long term goal will be to slowly change the US Constitutional Republic to a Socialist State.

This attempt to expose the truth about what has been happening will be opposed by the Socialist Democrat Party, Big Tech, and left of center liberal Main Stream Media establishment in lock step with Communist China’s press initiatives. Forces aligned against the majority of Patriotic American Citizens who want to retain the free and fair election process that has continued for 244 years, the mailing of 82 million “vote by mail ballots” created havoc in this election, and they illegally changed the way Americans have always elected their President. The Congress must eliminate “vote by mail ballots”; legally authorized Absentee Ballots in all 50 states have always satisfied the need by American citizens to vote by mail.

The way the Socialist Democrat Party changed this election was by having Democrat Governors send 82 million illegal “vote by mail ballots” out to millions of unregistered voters in their states, that resulted in millions of illegal votes being cast for Joe Biden, without any kind of transparency. Will Patriotic Americans sit back and let an untransparent method of counting votes happen without push back?

This nation and therefore the world is faced with the process of being pushed by Progressives and Socialists toward a closer alignment with Communist China with the support of the Socialist Democrat Party. The conflict Americans and Conservative Congressmen will be faced with over the next 4 years will be to oppose the legislative measures Socialists in Congress will try to pass, in order to move the Republic more closely aligned with Communist China. Communist China, that infected the nation with COVID-19, will work closely with and take advantage of Joe Biden, who previously stated that China is not a threat.

President Trump must install the 1776 Project in the Public-School Systems in all 50 states, and it must be enhanced by the publication of a new accurate US History textbook, in order to stop the indoctrination of American students in Socialism by the Common Core Curriculum that uses US History textbooks, created and published by organizations funded by Nazi Collaborator George Soros. The opposition to Socialists in the US will be the most important battle Patriotic Americans will be faced with over the next 4 years, and it will be the most important battle that the nation has ever been faced with, and we must win, if the US Constitutional Republic is to survive.

MMA Fighters Go off on Obvious Voter Fraud, Warn of Civil War

As is their style, MMA fighters aren’t shy about calling out the Establishment’s theft of the election from the American People. Here’s what some of them are saying:
