Looks like the Pennsylvania Senate isn't going to let their Constitutional power and authority be hijacked without a fight. Good for them!

Not really, it was actually pretty weak.

What he could/should have done is immediately threaten to impeach the SoS, and issue criminal RICO complaints against anyone and everyone who would attempt to prevent them from exercising their Constitutional powers.

Quite simply, the SoS does not have the authority to do what she did, and the Senate can ignore it, and if they try to enforce it, do whatever is called for to force them to stand down.

The Pennsylvania Secretary of State Abruptly resigned back in february. If you recall, she's the one who pissed off supreme Court Justice Stephen breyer, right after the election, for violating Pennsylvania law.

Ok, but my point stands - impeach the acting SoS then - whoever issued the unlawful edict.

She already quit. Pennsylvania Secretary of State can be arrested but not impeached.

But she'll have to get in line behind Democrats who willingly enabled tens of thousands of Americans to die of covid-19. They are top priority on the arrest list.

Again, I corrected to say the acting Secretary - Veronica Degraffenreid.

Pennsylvania Secretary of State can be arrested but not impeached.

Wrong...

"1966 Amendment. Joint Resolution No.10 amended and renumbered former section 2 to present section 5.

§ 6. Officers liable to impeachment.

The Governor and all other civil officers shall be liable to impeachment for any misbehavior in office, but judgment in such cases shall not extend further than to removal from office and disqualification to hold any office of trust or profit under this Commonwealth. The person accused, whether convicted or acquitted, shall nevertheless be liable to indictment, trial, judgment and punishment according to law.

(May 17, 1966, 1965 P.L.1928, J.R.10)"

My bad. Trying to be brief and not pollute this thread with crosstalk, I should have said the former Secretary of State cannot be impeached.

She isn't the one who issued this unlawful order, so what makes you think I was talking about her?

Meanwhile, in the most secure election in history:

"This may surprise you, but the passcode used in Antrim County, Michigan, was 1,2,3,4,5,6"

But sure, no bad actors would ever try that on the internet connected dominion machines.

Interesting timing, immediately after Sen Karen Fann stated that the number of ballots do not match the number of votes counted. And with OAN's report that we will be hearing something in the next 24 hours.

BREAKING: US House Democrats Launch Investigation into Arizona Senate Audit – Send Letter to Cyber Ninjas Demanding Answer for Advancing the “Big Lie”

The letter in its entirety can be read here. (I have not read it all yet... so no opinion or comment yet!)

Here is the beginning:

Dear Mr. Logan:

We are writing to request information about Cyber Ninjas’ participation in an “audit” of nearly 2.1 million ballots cast in Maricopa County, Arizona, in the 2020 election. We are concerned about your company’s role in this highly unusual effort, given Cyber Ninjas’ apparent lack of experience in conducting election-related audits; reports that the company engaged in sloppy and insecure audit practices that compromised the integrity of ballots and voting equipment and were questioned by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ); and evidence that you and other individuals funding the audit have sought to advance the “big lie” of debunked voter fraud allegations in the November 2020 presidential election.

Okay, changed my mind... one comment: Screw "debunked." We're getting the proof. One way or the other. And that shouldn't be a problem for anyone.

Intimidation. The Feds have no place in this.

Why don't they like sunshine?

From Pennsylvania:

County won’t offer up voting machines to election audit

The three commissioners in rural Republican-controlled Tioga County announced the decision Tuesday, six days after receiving a sweeping, five-page request from Republican state Sen. Doug Mastriano for access to documents, information and equipment.

The county’s solicitor, Christopher Gabriel, said Wednesday that the thrust of Mastriano’s request — under the threat of a subpoena — involves access to Tioga County’s voting machines.

That could mean losing those machines, Gabriel said.

More intimidation. And obstruction of justice and technically evidence tampering. And Senator Mastriano calls it out:

In a statement Wednesday, Mastriano’s office did not address Tioga County’s decision, but said Wolf’s Department of State “is being used to intimidate county officials and obstruct a Senate-led forensic investigation.”

Of course a small rural county cannot afford to lose their investment. They're stuck between a rock and a hard place. The Senate needs to find a way to allow counties to cooperate without facing such a hardship. Any ideas how?

Mastriano didn't stop there:

Speaking during an appearance in the studio of WEEO-FM in Chambersburg on Wednesday, Mastriano also appeared to blame voting-machine manufacturers for “threatening” counties against letting third parties inspect their equipment.

“We can’t just have voting machines here that only one company that manufactures (them) can have access to,” Mastriano said. “They should be able to be opened up and reviewed obviously by companies that the legislative body wants to hire, not that the governor wants to bring in.”

Damn right. This is important. Dominion has no obligation of any kind to the voters, and has no legal power or authority to hold such power over our elections.

For all the crying and whining about outside parties conducting election audits, if only the same concern was shown for outside parties conducting elections. The double standards are astounding.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports on VoterGA's report of fraud and/or error yesterday:

Some ballots initially double-counted in Fulton before recount

Digital ballot images made public under Georgia’s new voting law show nearly 200 ballots — including one for West — that election officials initially scanned two times last fall before a recount. There’s no indication any vote for president was counted more than once in official results.

The discovery of identical ballots provides evidence to back up allegations of problems in the presidential election, but on a relatively small scale that had no bearing on the final certified count. A group of voters seeking to prove the election was fraudulent say double-counting is just the beginning of what they hope to find.

They basically contend that all mistakes in the initial count were corrected in a recount -- so no problem. I have no idea if that's true or not. The author offers nothing official to substantiate this.

The article also suggests many ways and scenarios that these mistakes might have happened.

They minimize the numbers, and therefore the scope and impact, in my opinion. But at least they've had to address it!

Thank you for your continuing efforts!
Very cool!

a reply to: Boadicea
One thing we learned from when Republicans were the House/Senate majority, is that no civilian has to reply to a Congressional letter, if they don't want to. Congress has no authority to force civilians to do anything.

If Congress sent me a letter accusing me of doing something wrong, without any evidence enclosed, I'd file it away with the Computer generated traffic tickets that come my way from time-to-time.

a reply to: shooterbrody

It is cool, eh?

And good to see you here again!

a reply to: carewemust

I was thinking the same thing as I read it... Nothing to force compliance on Cyber Ninjas part.

Just intimidation, harassment and bullying. Which the Feds are already known for.

Can you make this a new post so hopefully more people can see it before the hearing?

a reply to: IndieA

It's a good idea and I thought about that -- making its own post probably in current events? -- but I don't think it would be allowed to stand. I suspect it would be closed and referred back to this thread, because it's literally part and parcel of this topic. And because until after the hearing, there's not much to discuss. So probably rightfully so.

Perhaps after the hearing, when they've actually said what they're going to say, and asked the questions of the County/Dominion that they need to ask, it would be more appropriate. Then there will be something tangible to present and discuss. I think actual findings and issues presented would warrant its own thread, as opposed to this general thread on the audit itself. I'll still update this thread with whatever that might be, but a thread on the findings would definitely stand on its own (at least I would think...)

If you'd like the honors/burden of making that thread, I'd happily contribute!

I meant to post this yesterday. Very interesting and informative interview at the link.

MI Attorney’s Explosive Interview: “We have proof that ‘Election Source’ was accessing machines and that the election was subverted”…”Votes were switched” [VIDEO]

Here is a new one as well with the same Michigan attorney. I haven't watched it yet, but I expect it is just as interesting and informative.
