When I first heard that Emerald Robinson had dropped a sprawling new thread on election integrity, my instinct as a writer was simple, tell the story carefully and check as much of it as I could.
I saw the interview by Lara Logan where Robinson's Foot Patrol revealed their findings. Although I find that I can rarely believe much of what's out there, their accounts were plausible and probably true. There is no doubt that along with the mail in ballots, the 2020 election was stolen (as have many other elections). Thanks for the deep-dive. I am not as skeptical as you.
So odd that our voting systems are locked into a few proprietary systems. There have been various efforts now for 20+ years to develop open systems with minimal progress. One might ask why and my answer suggest corruption by the proprietary vendors and officials. Modern blockchain methods could ensure no tampering and with your personal key you could verify your vote. None of the hardware involved servers and scanners are proprietary. The proprietary software is impossible to inspect even by the buyer who depends on certain others to examine and certify. Beyond tabulation of ballots lies accumulation servers where mischief can lie. Worse the adjudication of ballot marks still is done by humans who may be biased.
So beyond the ballot processing some black box non inspectable processes use lie the ballots themselves. Each state gets to print them so another vulnerability arises. Then the voter roles carefully guarded can register phantom voters depending on the state.
We need national standards and a real push to complete several non proprietary voting systems. Likely would decrease costs while ensuring integrity of our vote.
More excellent work! One day, someone will crack, maybe in a deathbed confession, and the whole truth about the 2020 election will come out. If we’re lucky, we can trace everything to Ernst Stavro Blofeld, rub the bastard out and the sun will come out. I doubt it.
Not only solid recording, but extremely well written. We have to bring the receipts in your own facts. This is not an OpEd. I think this is some of the best stuff on the web. Please keep it coming.
For those interested in another story not told by MSM, I recommend Doug Ross at @DirectorBlue. He has a new graphic novel, “The Illustrated Spygate - American Coup”, Kindle version available for free on Amazon. I have ordered 6 paperback copies for Christmas gifts for family TDS victims.
Based on facts “—the alleged conspiracy involving high-level officials in the Obama administration, FBI, DOJ, and intelligence agencies to surveil and undermine Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign and subsequent presidency. Drawing from mainstream media reports, congressional investigations, and declassified documents, the series unfolds across 40 illustrated chapters in Book One.”
Thank you for an excellent, curated journey down a deep, deep rabbit hole. I've been reading bits and pieces of this story for years but have never invested the time to separate fact from allegation. I appreciate your work to lay the facts on the table.
As an aside, I've worked as a volunteer election work in Palm Beach County FL. (I was a "Voting Systems Technician.") They use a very robust system of manually coded paper ballots that are fed into an optical reader by the voter under supervision. The recorded ballots then fall into a sealed lock-box for potential manual recounts. The readers transmit their final counts via the internet, but are also recorded to local USB drives that are tracked and delivered to the election offices under seal. Before the election, all of the seals on the machine are checked and recorded in a written log. We verify that the lock-box is empty and that the ballot count is zero. It seemed very secure to me and highly resistant to tampering.
But we all know the 2020 elections were “safe and effective”.

Same for my town and surrounding burghs in NH.
Same for Ohio, but this is definitely NOT the practice and operation inmost other states.
