RESTORING INTEGRITY & TRUST IN ELECTIONS (RITE)

Yeah sure.....as THEY chase a false narrative - er while "grifting" donors ‼️

I am in possession this morning for review, a relatively recent 990 IRS filing (2023) of the group: Restoring Integrity and Trust in Elections ("RITE").

{logged November 23, 2025}

RITE was founded by billionaire Steve Wynn, former George W. Bush Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove, former Trump lawyer Bobby Burchfield and Bill Barr is on the Board of Directors. 🙄

.....at that point I should have just stopped because it would be a waste of my time....but, I soldiered on....✊🏼🇺🇲

♦️ I FOLLOWED THE MONEY.💰

What caught my attention this morning is that the "bottom" tier of their day-to-day operations are paid in excess of $1M dollars between 4 people.....and the organization's donors are shielded from public view.....they claim assets in the millions‼️

.....the hypocrisy is they're getting some recent press demanding TRANSPARENCY concerning information about the former Maryland teacher who became a school superintendent in Iowa, since his voter registration personal information is redacted.

♦️TO REMIND YOU....

Ian Roberts, the former superintendent of the Des Moines Public School District, was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in September 2025 for being in the country illegally and for federal firearms charges.

Roberts, a citizen of Guyana, falsely claimed to be a U.S. citizen on an employment form (Form I-9) and was found to be in possession of firearms, which is a violation of federal law for those without legal status.

Key details of the case include:

*️⃣Immigration Status: Roberts entered the U.S. on a student visa in 1999, which expired in 2004. An immigration judge issued a final order of removal (deportation order) in May 2024, but he remained in the country.

*️⃣Hiring Process & Resignation: He was hired as superintendent of Iowa's largest school district in July 2023, a position he held until his resignation in late September 2025 following his arrest. The school board stated they were not aware of his immigration issues at the time of his hiring and has since filed a lawsuit against the consulting firm that performed his background check.

*️⃣Criminal Charges: After his arrest, Roberts was federally charged with being an "illegal alien in possession of firearms" and making a false statement for employment. When apprehended, federal authorities found a loaded handgun, a fixed-blade hunting knife, and $3,000 in cash in his school district-provided vehicle. He has a history of other charges related to narcotics and weapons possession dating back to 1996.

*️⃣Credentials: Investigations also revealed that Roberts misrepresented his educational qualifications, including falsely claiming a doctoral degree from Morgan State University and attendance at MIT's Sloan School of Management.

👉🏽BUT nothing about whether he ever voted ILLEGALLY‼️

♦️ MANY Maryland politicians and overly excited social media postings have turned his current situation into an indictment of Maryland government's automatic voter registration process (MVA/MotorVoter/non-citizens legally voting in LOCAL municipal elections, etc.).....

✅ and rightly so because it's an affront to American citizen's voting rights‼️

👉🏽 BUT to date, there's no evidence that Ian Roberts has ever voted (illegally or legally) and so the generated fervor has taken more interest in THAT instead of his legal problems....and so, the GRIFTERS, LIMELIGHTERS © and POLITICIANS proceed to raise money from ill-informed donors via unproven spurious accusations, boisterous demands and sensational headlines. CLICKBAIT.

......AS IF, Ian Roberts' other alleged violations of the law isn't enough.

Meanwhile, the "Election Integrity" INDUSTRY seems to continue along with groups, non-profits, PACs and individuals "making book" (aka - beaucoup$ de buck$) off the subject and NOT actually DOING ANYTHING TO SECURE OUR ELECTIONS. #JustAskNewton

........{sigh}....and another wasted election cycle without the authorities addressing the REAL PROBLEM -

"CORRUPT INTERNAL ELECTION PERSONNEL"© and you guessed it
