Former Democratic Party Official Convicted of Vote Fraud

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Stamford Democratic party chairman John Mallozzi went before a judge Monday for sentencing in an absentee ballot fraud case stemming from the 2015 local elections.

“I think he’s shown his nobility and what he has done for this community,” said former Stamford Mayor David Martin.
Martin was one of a handful of supporters who spoke fondly of Mallozzi in court Monday.

“One of John’s characteristics in his political involvement in this city is to try to increase the political participation of our first generation immigrants,” said Martin.

Superior Court Judge Kevin Randolph found Mallozzi guilty at a trial last month on charges of forgery and making false statements in absentee balloting – 14 counts of each. (Read more from “Former Democratic Party Official Convicted of Vote Fraud” HERE)

Nevada County Confirms Livestream Video of Vote-Count Areas Went Dark for 8 Hours

/0 Comments/in , /by

County officials in Nevada over the weekend confirmed that cameras live-streaming vote-counting areas on Wednesday night and Thursday morning went dark for a total of eight hours.

“We know that our election livestream cameras went dark overnight. We investigated what happened and how to prevent it happening again,” Washoe County’s Twitter account posted Thursday afternoon.

Unsurprisingly, the tweet went viral, racking up thousands of reactions, which included questions concerning election integrity.

“The livestream computer application lost connection with the courtesy cameras at 11:24 p.m. the evening of November 9,” the county said on its website. “All staff had left for the night about 60 minutes earlier and did not arrive back at the office until 7 a.m. Connection was restored at 7:53 a.m. the morning of November 10.”

“The courtesy cameras are connected to a computer application designed for livestream events,” the county site continued. “They intermittently lose connection with the application. When this has happened before, such as on Election Night when one camera went dark, staff was able to see the disruption and restore it.” (Read more from “Nevada County Confirms Livestream Video of Vote-Count Areas Went Dark for 8 Hours” HERE)

Ballots Go Missing in New Jersey County After Voting Machines Failure

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ballots were reported missing in one New Jersey county after they were shuttled between locations amid problems with several voting machines.

Four voting districts’ ballots, which have vanished, were last accounted for being shuttled from the voting place to the election board, according to the New Jersey Globe. Records show that 4,046 voters are spread across the four districts. Paper ballots had to be used after a software glitch rendered the Dominion electronic voting machines unusable. Authorities are assuring the public that they are doing everything in their power to remedy the situation.

“We’re working with the county, which is in charge of our elections, but please know we will not rest until we get to the bottom of this unconscionable mishap, and we will not consider the 2022 election over in Robbinsville until every single ballot is counted and done so securely,” said Robbinsville Mayor Dave Fried.

Arizona’s Election Administration Is an International Embarrassment

/0 Comments/in , /by

Two days have passed since polls closed in Arizona and unsurprisingly, election officials in the state have failed to provide voters with the final results of numerous highly contested races.

As of this article’s publication, none of Arizona’s contested statewide races have been called for any of their respective candidates. With 70 percent of votes tabulated, Democrat Katie Hobbs leads her Republican rival Kari Lake in the gubernatorial race by fewer than 13,000 votes, while Democrat Mark Kelly leads Republican Blake Masters by a little less than 95,000. The races for Arizona attorney general and secretary of state also remain up in the air, with both still too close to call. . .

While countries with tens of millions of citizens, such as France and Brazil, are able to tabulate nationwide election results within 24 hours, the Grand Canyon State has continued to disrespect its voters by repeatedly leaving them in limbo and turning what’s supposed to be Election Day into “election season.” International election observers have regularly pointed to delayed election results as one of several warning signs of incompetent election administration, and although that doesn’t mean there was impropriety in this year’s Arizona elections, the failure to tabulate votes in a timely and efficient manner does nothing but undermine voters’ confidence in the electoral process.

Much like their counterparts in Washington, D.C., Arizona’s Republican leaders such as Gov. Doug Ducey have had numerous chances over the past two years to resolve delayed vote tabulations; and at every available opportunity, they have simply chosen to ignore it. In Kari Lake, many Arizona Republicans see a leader who tackles challenging issues rather than runs from them. And given what the public has witnessed over the past two years, it sure looks like the state could use one.

Biden’s DOJ Is ‘Monitoring’ These Polling Places; Election Issues Mount in Arizona, Republicans Lawyer Up

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Townhall. . .On the eve of the 2022 elections, the Biden administration’s Department of Justice announced its ground forces will be “monitoring” 64 jurisdictions in 24 states on Election Day. The Biden regime operatives were dispatched to ballot-casting locations across America—in almost half of U.S. states—to oversee federal election law “compliance.”

The nationwide deployment of federal election monitors is an expansion of the DOJ’s in-person surveillance of the ballot box, a notable increase from the 2020 presidential election when 44 jurisdictions across 18 states were surveilled by the feds.

DeSantis-led Florida, the battleground state of Pennsylvania, and mayhem-erupted Maricopa County are on the DOJ’s radar. Alaska, Arkansas, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Rhode Island, and Utah weren’t on the DOJ’s watch list two years ago, but have now made the roster.

Chicago and Cook counties in Illinois were on this list when President Joe Biden was elected; however, today, no polling places in the consistently blue Praire State have drawn DOJ observation. Over in Arizona, three “monitored” counties have grown to five, while Pima County—the southwestern state’s second-most populous, which holds Tucscon—is among the new additions.

Also, the DOJ’s civil rights division will be fielding complaints from the public regarding “possible violations” of voting rights law through its call center and online complaint form. Keep in mind, this is the same government tendril whose “civil rights” trial attorneys are prosecuting 11 pro-life leaders, who are facing federal prison time over the peaceful protest of an abortion clinic.

MAYHEM IN MARICOPA: Election Issues Mount in Arizona, Republicans Lawyer Up

By Townhall. As the election wheels seem to have come off at several polling places in Arizona, Kari Lake’s legal team is urging voters to stay in line and cast their ballots despite growing lines and questions about how ballots will be handled.

But while questions swirl about what may be going on and who is ultimately responsible for the issues apart from Arizona’s Democrat Secretary of State Katie Hobbs — who refused to recuse herself from official SoS duties while running against Lake in the gubernatorial contest — Kari Lake and her campaign had planned for issues such as those that have come to light already on Tuesday morning.

As Townhall reported earlier in November, Lake announced she was “bringing in the big guns” to run her election day legal efforts — led by Harmeet Dhillon — who Lake said would be working “to ensure every Arizonan’s vote is fairly counted and to swiftly respond to any claims of fraud or voter suppression.”

Dhillon, the GOP super-lawyer who also serves as the RNC Committeewoman from California, founded the Center for American Liberty, and is founding partner of Dhillon Law Group, tweeted on Tuesday morning that “there are dozens of Republican lawyers monitoring the tabulating situation” causing issues for Arizona voters. She added that the GOP legal staff is “speaking with the county lawyers” and “ensuring that votes WILL count.” (Read more from “MAYHEM IN MARICOPA: Election Issues Mount in Arizona, Republicans Lawyer Up” HERE)

Poll Worker Reportedly Ousted for Pre-Selecting Democrats on Machines

/0 Comments/in , , /by

An Indiana election office reportedly ejected a Democrat poll worker over allegations that he had pressured poll-goers against voting for certain candidates and even pre-selected Democratic candidates on a voting machine last week, local election officials told Fox News.

The incidents took place at a polling place in Carmel, Indiana, under the Hamilton County Election Office. Hamilton County election administrator Beth Sheller declined to confirm the poll worker’s identity in an interview with Fox News Digital, but detailed a report from the inspector at the polling location.

Sheller stated that the inspector had learned of two separate incidents that may constitute electioneering and election interference. The poll worker, first identified by Chalkboard Review executive director Tony Kinnett as James Zheng, is now reportedly being investigated by the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office, and Sheller says she hopes to see Zheng prosecuted.

The first incident took place early Thursday evening as a group of education activists stood outside the Carmel polling place and advocated for pro-parent school board candidates. Sheller says the worker spoke with a pair of black voters who entered the polling station and urged them not to vote for the pro-parent candidates, arguing that the activists outside were “racist.”

That pair of voters then cast their ballots and approached the activists outside, informing them of what the poll worker had told them. The activists, which included a campaign worker for one of the candidates, then raised the issue with the workers inside.

Poll Worker Fired for Selecting Straight Democrat Ticket on Voter’s Ballot, Calling Republicans ‘Racist’

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Democrat poll worker in Indiana has reportedly been fired after allegations surfaced that he had pressured voters into voting against Republican candidates and selected the “straight Democrat ticket” option when helping an individual fill out their ballot.

James Zheng, a poll worker in Carmel, Indiana, is allegedly being investigated by the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office for incidents of “electioneering and election interference.”

On Thursday, as a group of pro-parental rights education activists stood outside the Carmel polling place, Zheng allegedly told two black voters that they should not vote for the pro-parent, Republican candidates because the activists outside were “racist.” After the voters submitted their ballots, they alerted the activists to what Zheng had told them. The activists then complained to election officials.

Later, a second incident was reported. According to Hamilton County election administrator Beth Sheller, when Zheng was assisting a voter with an electronic ballot, he pressed the straight Democrat ticket option when explaining to the voter how to use the voting machine. The voter was “then confused about how to change the selection” and asked another poll worker for help. That poll worker resolved the issue and alerted the polling location’s election inspector about the incident.

Zheng had been removed from his post as of Friday. (Read more from “Poll Worker Fired for Selecting Straight Democrat Ticket on Voter’s Ballot, Calling Republicans ‘Racist’” HERE)

Election Commission Deputy Director Accused of Election Fraud, Sending Ballots to State Rep’s Home

/0 Comments/in , /by

The deputy director of the Milwaukee Election Commission was fired after allegedly sending fake ballots to a state representative, the city’s mayor announced Thursday.

Kimberly Zapata, the deputy director of the city’s election commission, allegedly directed the fictitious military ballots from a state election website to the state representative, and has been “forthcoming about her actions,” Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson tweeted. Republican State Rep. Janel Brandtjen found Oct. 28 that three military ballots had been sent to her residence, all featuring the first name “Holly” with different surnames.

Brandtjen surmised that the ballots likely did not reference real individuals, delivering them unopened to the Waukesha County Sheriff for investigation.

“It does not matter that this alleged crime did not take place at work,” Johnson insisted, saying he learned of the matter Wednesday. “It does not matter that City of Milwaukee ballots were not part of this. Nor does it matter that there was no attempt to vote illegally or tamper with election results.”

Court: Green Bay, Wisconsin Must Let GOP Poll Watchers Observe the Entire Early Voting Process

/0 Comments/in , /by

A Wisconsin judge issued a temporary injunction on Wednesday that will allow Republican poll watchers in Green Bay to observe the entire early voting process throughout the 2022 election cycle. The ruling came less than 24 hours after the Republican National Committee (RNC) took legal action against the city for barring GOP observers from supervising certain parts of the in-person absentee voting procedures.

In his order, Brown County Circuit Court Judge Marc Hammer ruled that Green Bay election officials must “provide observer access to the witness certification process and to the electors depositing his or her ballot in the ballot box during the in-person absentee voting window,” adding that the city must develop a “viable process” adhering to the ruling by 2 p.m. on Wednesday. Under state law, in-person absentee ballot voting is permitted at a municipal clerk’s office prior to Election Day.

In the lawsuit filed by the RNC on Tuesday, the plaintiffs alleged that Green Bay City Clerk Celestine Jeffreys had violated a Wisconsin statute that, as described in the suit, requires “municipal clerks [to] allow the public to observe all public aspects of the in-person absentee ballot voting process.” According to the national GOP group, Jeffreys had divided the in-person absentee ballot voting process into two different parts of the building, with one being in her office and the other in the hallway outside her office.
