Are You Troubled by Chronic Electile Dysfunction?
Take courage: Saying so is not ‘treason,’ it’s informed citizen patriotism in action!
A Nov. 2, 2022 LA Times headline reads: Biden warns that election deniers will lead the U.S. down a ‘path to chaos.’ Au contraire, Mr. President: It is those who refuse to objectively examine our election system’s many dysfunctions that are the real leaders to electoral chaos, and whose actions weaken public trust in voting outcomes.
The favored thought-stopping epithets du jour for those expressing skepticism of the current official narrative on matters Covid are ‘conspiracy theorists’ and ‘anti-vaxxers.’
Their current counterpart pejoratives in matters electoral are ‘right wingers,’ ‘Trumpers’ and ‘election deniers.’
Many election integrity activists have witnessed and brought forward evidence of GOP election rigging since at least 2000. Strangely, Democrat leaders never responded, not even after the evidence-based, documented thefts in 2000 and 2004.
Now, with Republicans accusing Democrats of the same thing, Democrats alledge that all Republican claims are totally bogus. With the same rigging tools available to both parties, why would sincere election investigators not be willing to scrutinize any claims of skullduggery?
Many of the election protection activists with whom we worked in the early days of the Election Protection movement appear to have been silenced by the current assault on electoral truth-tellers.
One who has not succumbed is the intrepid author of the 2007 book Fooled Again: How the Right Stole the 2004 Election & Why They'll Steal the Next One Too, whom we interviewed back in the day:
Shut TF Up! - Nothing to See Here…
In keeping with the current censorship climate on dissenting points of view, some who have raised legitimate, evidence-based questions are now being called ‘Trumper Election Deniers,’ their concerns dismissed, and have become targets of investigation and arrest themselves.
That’s what happened to Catherine Engelbrecht and Gregg Phillips of a conservative Houston-based election monitoring group founded in 2009, True the Vote.
They released evidence they had uncovered suggesting that the election services company Konnech had committed what LA prosecutors termed ‘a massive data breach’ involving the personal information of over a million US citizens.
They were smeared by the New York Times as ‘election deniers,’ but their accurate information led to the arrest of Konnech CEO Eugene Yu on suspicion of stealing identifying information on hundreds of Los Angeles County poll workers and storing the data on servers located in China, which is a violation of the company’s contract with Los Angeles County.
At first Engelbrecht and Phillips found themselves in cooperation with FBI agents at a regional office who said that Konnech had been ‘on their radar’ for sometime.
Then a call came from Washington FBI headquarters and today, Yu has been freed and the True the Vote activists find themselves in prison for refusing to reveal their sources.
It's a still-evolving, complex case with many claims and counterclaims outside the scope of this article, but it serves to discourage other citizen investigators and to cast into further question the extent to which malefactors - both domestic and foreign - have penetrated and compromised the accuracy and integrity of our US election system.
Update:

Election Protection is patriotic
Mark Crispin Miller wraps up a recent commentary on his own decades of committed election protection experiences with this message that’s worth quoting in full as it reflects our own experiences (as expressed in subsequent articles) as well:
"In conclusion, to anyone open-minded enough to at least listen to me, I now make a point to tell them that the elections have been stolen for years and by both parties. I emphasize that point to try to make them see that we're in this same boat - we're in it together. Sadly, in today's climate of massive deception, they mostly think I am deluded, as they parrot whatever they have heard on legacy media. However, there will one day be a tipping point, if enough people learn this essential truth. That the cheating has gone both ways and is always for the elites who control things and is always against the people" [emphasis added].
So, should we be alert and advocate for rigorous forensic, independent, third party scrutinization of this election’s outcome figures? Yes. That’s not ‘election denialism,’ that’s common sense.
