| 'Online and vulnerable': Experts find nearly three dozen U.S. voting systems connected to internet
A team of election security experts used a “Google for servers” to challenge claims that voting machines do not connect to the internet and found some did. Jan. 10, 2020, 4:36 PM MST By Kevin Monahan, Cynthia McFadden and Didi Martinez | NBCNews.com New warnings of hacking risks for voting systems connected to the internet It was an assurance designed to bolster public confidence in the way America votes: Voting machines “are not connected to the internet.” Then Acting Undersecretary for Cybersecurity and Communications at the Department of Homeland Security Jeanette Manfra said those words in 2017, testifying before Congress while she was responsible for the security of the nation’s voting system. So many government officials like Manfra have said the same thing over the last few years that it is commonly accepted as gospel by most Americans. Behind it is the notion that if voting systems are not online, hackers will have a harder time compromising them. But that is an overstatement, according to a team of 10 independent cybersecurity experts who specialize in voting systems and elections. While the voting machines themselves are not designed to be online, the larger voting systems in many states end up there, putting the voting process at risk.

| Illegal immigrants are voting in California and 'it's going to happen in your state soon' By Matt London | Fox News Fox Nation host Tomi Lahren tells ‘Fox & Friends’ about her newest episode on election integrity, as she sits down with the women leading the way in educating Americans about the flaws in our voting system. State officials and lawmakers from California and Texas to Pennsylvania and West Virginia are raising concerns over the threat that noncitizens on the voter rolls pose to the integrity of U.S. elections. On "Fox and Friends" on Thursday, Fox Nation's Tomi Lahren said that the issue is most pronounced in California. "We have a voter fraud and election integrity epidemic in the state of California," she said, "I want to expose it so I sat down with the great ladies of Election Integrity Project-California (EIPCa)." Original Shows and Documentaries that Celebrate America every day. Fox Nation is an entertaining streaming service featuring your favorite Fox News personalities, with original shows and documentaries that celebrate America. The Election Integrity Project-California, founded in 2010, is a grassroots, nonpartisan, nonprofit volunteer organization that advocates for citizens to become active participants in the electoral process, according to its website. "Do you know you can register to vote and vote in California with never having shown a picture ID?" EIPCa chief analyst Ellen Swensen told Lahren in the latest episode of Fox Nation's "No Interruption." "The [voter] registration form says, 'Give us your driver's license number or your Social Security, if you have one.' And if you don't, you can still register," said Swensen. "So to say that illegal immigrants are voting is a given in this state?" asked Lahren. "Absolutely," said EIPCa president and co-founder Linda Paine, "because when you open the door to corruption and fraud, people are going to walk through it." Paine told Fox News that, since 2012, her organization has trained tens of thousands of volunteers to observe polling places across the state and report instances of suspected abuse. According to Paine, they have recorded around 100,000 reports and the state has responded to none of them. Paine said that her group has struggled to provide concrete evidence of instances of illegal immigrants voting in California because they have no way of determining the citizenship status of voters. However, California Secretary of State Alex Padilla has conceded that noncitizens have been registered to vote in California. He attributes those instances to mistakes in the voter registration process. "My concern is it risks jeopardizing confidence in the electoral process,'" said Padilla in October 2018 after it was shown that at least 1,500 individuals, including noncitizens, had been erroneously added to the voter rolls. Those registrations were canceled, but Paine stressed that the state only canceled the registrations of noncitizens, who self-reported their registrations because the state does not have the ability to make that determination of their own. "California has managed to create a firewall by passing certain laws so that the secretary of state cannot access the list of noncitizens and illegal people from the DMV, which has a very complete list," said EIPCa's vice president, Ruth Weiss. "They're not allowed to access that list from the Department of Homeland Security," said Weiss. "And yet they're the ones responsible to make sure that only legitimate citizens get on the voter rolls." Paine contends that efforts, taken under the guise of increasing voter turnout, have created more risk to the voting system. Specifically, EIPCa points to the federal "motor voter" program, which requires the Department of Motor Vehicles offices to offer people the opportunity to register to vote. In Pennsylvania and West Virginia, there have been reported instances of DMV staff mistakenly offering registrations to noncitizens. California has taken the program a step further, by requiring anyone applying for a driver's license to opt-out of voter registration. "[Illegal immigrants] are automatically put on the voter rolls and then it is up to them to say, 'Hey, wait, I'm not a citizen?'" asked Lahren. "Right," said Swensen, adding, "Once they do find out that they are registered, it's dangerous for that noncitizen, because if they want to become a citizen in the future, it might harm their ability to become a citizen because they've broken the law by registering to vote." "I encourage everyone to take a look at this episode because it's happening in California and it's going to happen in your state very soon," concluded Lahren on Fox and Friends.

| U.S. Has 3.5 Million More Registered Voters Than Live Adults — A Red Flag For Electoral FraudElections: American democracy has a problem — a voting problem. According to a new study of U.S. Census data, America has more registered voters than actual live voters. It's a troubling fact that puts our nation's future in peril. The data come from Judicial Watch's Election Integrity Project. The group looked at data from 2011 to 2015 produced by the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey, along with data from the federal Election Assistance Commission. As reported by the National Review's Deroy Murdock, who did some numbers-crunching of his own, "some 3.5 million more people are registered to vote in the U.S. than are alive among America's adult citizens. Such staggering inaccuracy is an engraved invitation to voter fraud." Murdock counted Judicial Watch's state-by-state tally and found that 462 U.S. counties had a registration rate exceeding 100% of all eligible voters. That's 3.552 million people, who Murdock calls "ghost voters." And how many people is that? There are 21 states that don't have that many people. Nor are these tiny, rural counties or places that don't have the wherewithal to police their voter rolls. California, for instance, has 11 counties with more registered voters than actual voters. Perhaps not surprisingly — it is deep-Blue State California, after all — 10 of those counties voted heavily for Hillary Clinton. Los Angeles County, whose more than 10 million people make it the nation's most populous county, had 12% more registered voters than live ones, some 707,475 votes. That's a huge number of possible votes in an election. But, Murdock notes, "California's San Diego County earns the enchilada grande. Its 138% registration translates into 810,966 ghost voters." State by state, this is an enormous problem that needs to be dealt with seriously. Having so many bogus voters out there is a temptation to voter fraud. In California, where Hillary Clinton racked up a massive majority over Trump, it would have made little difference. But in other states, and in smaller elections, voter fraud could easily turn elections. A hundred votes here, a hundred votes there, and things could be very different. As a Wikipedia list of close elections shows, since just 2000 there have been literally dozens of elections at the state, local and federal level decided by 100 votes or fewer. And, in at least two nationally important elections in recent memory, the outcome was decided by a paper-thin margin: In 2000, President Bush beat environmental activist and former Vice President Al Gore by just 538 votes. Sen. Al Franken, the Minnesota Democrat, won his seat by beating incumbent Sen. Norm Coleman in 2008. Coleman was initially declared the winner the day after the election, with a 726-vote lead over Franken. But after a controversial series of recounts and ballot disqualifications, Franken emerged weeks later with a 225-seat victory. Franken's win was enormous, since it gave Democrats filibuster-proof control of the Senate. So, yes, small vote totals matter. We're not saying here that Franken cheated, nor, for that matter, that Bush did. But small numbers can have an enormous impact on our nation's governance. The 3.5 million possible fraudulent ballots that exist are a problem that deserves serious immediate attention. Nothing really hinges on it, of course, except the integrity and honesty of our democratic elections. https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/u-s-has-3-5-million-more-registered-voters-than-live-adults-a-red-flag-for-electoral-fraud/ |

| South Philly judge of elections pleads guilty to stuffing ballot boxes, accepting bribes
Prosecutors say Domenick DeMuro, 73, inflated results for Democratic primary candidates BY MICHAEL TANENBAUM, PhillyVoice Staff May 21, 2020 Domenick J. DeMuro, 73, a former judge of elections in South Philadelphia, admitted to accepting bribes from a political consultant in order to add votes for several Democratic candidates in the 2014, 2015 and 2016 primary elections, prosecutors said. A former judge of elections in South Philadelphia pleaded guilty this week to fraudulently stuffing ballot boxes for Democratic candidates in recent primary elections, accepting bribes from a political consultant hired to help influence local election results. Domenick J. DeMuro, 73, formerly served the 39th Ward, 36th Division in South Philadelphia. He pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy and violation of the Travel Act in accept the bribes through the use of his cellphone. As judge of elections, an elected and paid position, DeMuro's job was to oversee the election process and voter activities of his division. Voting machines at each polling place generate records known as results receipts, which show vote totals that the judge of elections must confirm are accurate. During the 2014, 2015 and 2016 primary elections, DeMuro admitted that he accepted bribes ranging from $300 to $5,000 per election. A political consultant hired by specific Democratic candidates gave DeMuro a cut of his fee to add votes for these candidates, who were running for judicial and various state, federal and local elected offices. DeMuro would "ring up" extras votes on machines at his polling station, add them to the totals and later falsely certify that the voting machine results were accurate, prosecutors said. “DeMuro fraudulently stuffed the ballot box by literally standing in a voting booth and voting over and over, as fast as he could, while he thought the coast was clear. This is utterly reprehensible conduct. The charges announced today do not erase what he did, but they do ensure that he is held to account for those actions,” U.S. Attorney William M. McSwain said McSwain said DeMuro added between 27 to 46 fraudulent ballots during the three years of elections focused on by the investigation. While the numbers sound small, they represented 22% of the total votes cast in DeMuro's division in 2014, 15% in 2015 and 17% of the votes in 2016. A sentencing date for DeMuro has not yet been set. https://www.phillyvoice.com/voter-fraud-south-philly-judge-elections-guilty-domenick-demuro-democrat-voting-machines/ |

| Pennsylvania counties have 800,000 ineligible voters on voter registration lists, lawsuit claims By Krystina Alarcon | Fox News
Pennsylvania counties may be forced to remove 800,000 names from voter rolls
Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch has filed a lawsuit claiming that three counties in Pennsylvania are not removing names from their voter rolls. Two left-wing activist groups are refuting the charges and have filed a motion to have the names kept on the voter rolls.
The legitimacy of more than 800,000 names on the voting rolls in three Pennsylvania counties is being questioned in a lawsuit by conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch, but the left-wing group Pennsylvania Common Cause has motioned to dismiss Judicial Watch’s claims, saying these voters aren’t ineligible, they are just inactive.
Ineligible voters are people who have died or who have moved and are living in another county and/or state. A registered voter also gets classified as inactive after not voting in two federal elections and after not replying to a voter response card to verify their address. Inactive voters can still vote, but must have a signed affidavit to vote should they want to head back to the polls.
Judicial Watch’s president, Tom Fitton, told Fox News that he believes this process is not being done in Bucks, Chester and Delaware counties.
“Look, the roles aren't required to be perfect, but you just have to have the processes in place to make sure you're just kind of doing your basic due diligence to make sure they're clean,” Fitton told Fox News. “But if you got the process in place, you'll have a much better system. You'll have much better rolls."
However, Common Cause Pennsylvania is claiming the lawsuit is a “political ploy” designed “to remove specific voters from the voter rolls.”
“Our job with Common Cause is to make sure this doesn't turn into a democracy crisis with people who should be able to show up and vote on Election Day being removed,” Suzanne Almedia, the interim executive director of Common Cause Pennsylvania, told Fox News. “This is about the process that an eligible voter would go through if they're purged from the rolls mistakenly."
Voter registration list maintenance is a growing problem throughout the country. Based on Judicial Watch’s 2019 study, there are more than 2.5 million names on voter registrations lists across the country that should be removed, Fitton said.
While Common Cause Pennsylvania and Judicial Watch both agree that list maintenance is important, neither representatives would speak directly to Fox News on how improper list maintenance can cause voter fraud. |

Here’s the real reason Trump and the GOP don’t want mail-in voting
Trump and Republicans don’t want mail-in voting this November because it blows up a couple of their most effective voter suppression schemes.
In presidential elections dating back to 2000, there’s been noticeable media coverage of long lines in majority-black precincts; commentators sometimes wonder out loud why people would have to wait in line 8 hours to vote in, for example, inner city Ohio in 2004 or Milwaukee in the 2020 primaries.
Leading up to Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp’s contest with Stacey Abrams in 2018, the Atlanta Constitution-Journal documented how 8 percent of the state’s polling places had been recently closed, hitting rural black areas particularly hard. The broken voting machines—and the long lines they create—were largely confined to downtown Atlanta and black suburbs and rural areas.
The effect, of course, is to discourage voters from showing up or staying in line, particularly those people who are paid by the hour and have to take time off work to vote.
“The strongest tool Americans have to prevent Republican attempts at voter suppression is mail-in voting. ”In minority voting precincts with a long history of race-based voter suppression, Republicans totally closed 868 polling places between the 2013 Shelby County decision and the 2016 election. The result is that between the 2012 and 2016 elections, black voting participation fell nearly 7 percent.
With mail-in voting there is no long drive, bus ride, or wait in line, so Republicans can’t rig things to make it harder for people to vote. That particular voting suppression trick—which conservatives have been running for over a century, particularly in the South—just doesn’t work with mail-in voting.
Another trick the GOP likes is to merge the effects of voter registration purges with “provisional” ballots. First, Republican Secretaries of State throw hundreds of thousands of people off the voter rolls, disproportionately Hispanics and African Americans, by using “merge/purge” lists of felons or voters from other states with large black populations.
In 2018, investigative reporter Greg Palast sued a number of Republican secretaries of state and got his hands on purge lists that included more than 90,000 people in largely Democratic parts of Nevada, 769,436 voters purged in Colorado, 340,134 in Georgia, 550,000 in Illinois, a large but as-yet-uncounted list from Nebraska, and 469,000 purged in Indiana.
The Brennan Center for Justice found that just between 2014 and 2016, in the two years leading up to the presidential election, over 14 million people were purged from voter rolls, largely in Republican-controlled states. Kemp purged over a million in Georgia alone.
Calling the findings “disturbing,” the Brennan Center noted, “Almost 4 million more names were purged from the rolls between 2014 and 2016 than between 2006 and 2008. This growth in the number of removed voters represented an increase of 33 percent—far outstripping growth in both total registered voters (18 percent) and total population (6 percent).”
But people don’t know they’ve been removed, so they show up to vote anyway. And vote they can—the 2002 Help America Vote Act created an entirely new type ballot.
“I don’t see you here on the voter roll,” the person checking people in to vote will say. “But here’s a provisional ballot that you can vote on. It looks identical to the normal ballots, it just goes in a different box when you’re done.”
Provisional ballots are only counted at the discretion of the Secretary of State, and in Red states are usually only counted when there’s a lawsuit.
That’s why when John Kerry threw in the towel in 2004, John Edwards told me on my radio show that he was furious Kerry hadn’t sued because there were more unopened and uncounted provisional ballots, mostly from black neighborhoods, than Bush’s margin of victory.
But voters don’t know their provisional ballots won’t be counted, so they think they voted. And when they meet the exit pollster outside the voting station, they tell them who they voted for and that vote gets recorded in the exit poll, even though it’ll never make its way into the official count.
This produces a phenomenon known as “Red Shift” where the exit polls—the gold standard used across the world to measure the outcome of an election—show Democrats winning but the actual “official” count shifts red and awards the election to a Republican.
As I note in my book, “The Hidden History of the War on Voting”:
For example, in the 2016 election, the exit polls showed Hillary Clinton carrying Florida by 47.7 percent to Trump’s 46.4 percent, although the “actual” counted vote had Trump winning by 49.0 percent to 47.8 percent. Trump gained 2.5 percentage points . . . somehow.
In North Carolina, exit polls showed Clinton winning 48.6 percent to 46.5 percent, but the votes that were counted turned out with Trump’s 49.9 to Clinton’s 46.1, a red shift of 5.9 percentage points for the GOP.
Pennsylvania’s exit polls showed that Clinton won 50.5 percent to Trump’s 46.1 percent, but when “eligible” votes were counted, Trump carried the state 48.8 percent to Clinton’s 47.6 percent—a red shift of 5.6 percentage points.
In Wisconsin, it was Clinton beating Trump in the exit polls 48.2 percent to 44.3 percent, but the “real” count put Trump over the top at 48.8 percent to 47.6 percent, a red shift of 5.1 percentage points.
With mail-in voting, people know before they vote if they’ve been purged from the voter list, because they don’t get a ballot in the mail. Ballots are mailed out early enough that people who’ve been purged will have time to figure out there’s a problem and contact the Secretary of State’s office to get it fixed.
Like with closing polling places or putting in broken machines, this particular type of voter suppression, which was responsible for Trump winning the electoral college, doesn’t work.
Mail-in voting doesn’t cause working people to lose income by taking time off to vote; they can vote from their kitchen table over the weekend or on an unhurried evening.
Mail-in voting doesn’t force elderly people concerned about Social Security to have to undergo the pain and trauma of a road trip followed by standing for hours in line. Particularly with Covid-19 and the flu on the loose in November.
Mail-in voting doesn’t give Republican “ballot challengers” the ability to know a person’s race before they try to convince election officials to move a ballot into the provisional box because of “problems.”
The strongest tool Americans have to prevent Republican attempts at voter suppression is mail-in voting.
Living in Oregon, where the state has been exclusively mail-in for over 20 years, we have one of the highest rates of voter participation in the country and no evidence of so-called “voter fraud.” Louise and I sit down at the dining room table and look over the ballot, run a web search on various candidates and ballot initiatives we may not know, mark our ballots, and then drop the postage-paid envelopes in the mailbox out front.
There is only one reason Donald Trump and his Republican co-conspirators object to mail-in voting: it blows up their most effective and successful voter suppression schemes.
America must guarantee every citizen the right to vote, and national mail-in voting is a great place to start.

| Thousands of absentee ballots may not be counted RICH VAN WYK PUBLISHED: MAY 29TH, 2020 - 4:51PM (EDT), UPDATED: MAY 29TH, 2020 - 6:15PM (EDT)
INDIANAPOLIS (WTHR) — Deadlines are deadlines according the Indiana's secretary of state. Connie Lawson will not extend a critical deadline for absentee voting. Without that extra time, the Marion County Clerk fears thousands of ballots won't count.
Courtney Murray voted early. Her husband didn't. Fearing his absentee ballot wouldn't arrive by Tuesday's noon deadline, Courtney hand delivered it to the early voting site at the city county building.
"Voting is important no matter what no matter when," she said. "Those rights need to be taken seriously by everybody."
Election workers mailed out 123,000 absentee ballots. That's 20 times more than usual. As of Friday only about 50,000 were returned.
Clerk Myla Eldridge asked Secretary of State Connie Lawson to push back Tuesday's deadline by three days. In a letter obtained by 13News, Eldridge argued the county election board faces "insurmountable challenges ... have strained our resources to the breaking point."
"It's pretty dire." said Deputy Director of the clerk’s office Russell Hollis.
The situation is so dire, election officials are telling voters who haven't mailed their ballot yet to deliver it to one of the polling places.
If you haven't received your ballot yet you can still vote in person.
"If you tell the election worker you did not receive you ballot they will hand you a form," Hollis said. "You will fill it out and you will vote in person."
But on Tuesday, don't count on voting in your usual location.
The COVID-19 pandemic and a shortage of poll workers cut the number of polling places from 270 to just 22. |

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight... __________________________________ USPS Mail Carrier Arrested & Charged With Attempted Election FraudMay 26, 2020 ELKINS, WEST VIRGINIA – Thomas Cooper, a mail carrier in Pendleton County, was charged today in a criminal complaint with attempted election fraud, U.S. Attorney Bill Powell announced. Cooper, age 47, of Dry Fork, West Virginia, is charged with “Attempt to Defraud the Residents of West Virginia of a Fair Election.” According to the affidavit filed with the complaint, Cooper held a U.S. Postal Service contract to deliver mail in Pendleton County. In April 2020, the Clerk of Pendleton County received “2020 Primary Election COVID-19 Mail-In Absentee Request” forms from eight voters on which the voter’s party-ballot request appeared to have been altered. The clerk reported the finding to the West Virginia Secretary of State’s office, which began an investigation. The investigation found five ballot requests that had been altered from “Democrat” to “Republican.” On three other requests, the party wasn’t changed, but the request had been altered. Cooper was responsible for the mail delivery of the three towns from which the tampered requests were mailed: Onego, Riverton, and Franklin, West Virginia. According to the affidavit, Cooper admitted to altering some of the requests, saying it was a joke. The complaint was filed after an investigation by the West Virginia Election Fraud Task Force, led by Assistant United States Attorneys from both the Northern and Southern Districts of West Virginia, Special Agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and investigators from the West Virginia Secretary of State’s Office. https://breaking911.com/breaking-usps-mail-carrier-arrested-charged-with-attempted-election-fraud/ |
