{logged APRIL11, 2024}.
It's taken over a decade, after a merger between the two most notable pioneers in Maryland's Election Integrity arena, William T Newton (MDREIC) & Lewis Porter (Maryland 20-20 Watch).....
........ that FINALLY a new "technology" group recently came forward and has CONFIRMED, based on their public prospectus (and after gaining direct access to our publications) - that our position on election integrity has merit.
Back in May 2022, William Newton, embarked on an exhaustive two year investigation, then published his proprietary first-in-the-nation comprehensive research
exposé about the "Dark Money"(commonly known as ZUCKBUCKS) that infiltrated our national election process, titled "Sumter Haw".
Over the years, Maryland 20-20 Watch had taken a special interest in the State of Maryland's election process which was often fraught with controversy and unreconciliable irregularities and in particular because the group had uncovered that the state's Board of Elections Administor, Linda Lamone had some "special" relationships with the State Attorney Grievance Commission, the National Association of Election Administrators and other government entities that were tasked with ensuring our national elections would be trustworthy and legitimately conducted; along with enforcement and voting equipment selection and awarding software contracts all across the nation.
♦️OUR DISCOVERIES UNCOVERED SERIOUS PROBLEMS AND WE HAVE WELL DOCUMENTED THEM ALL.
Because our files & publications are freely accessed and widely circulated, a couple of known individuals attempted to present our research as their own at a well publicized national "symposium" on election integrity.....when asked to explain it - they couldn't and awkwardly dodged follow-up questions from the emcee.
✳️(Those names are shielded here shown during the PowerPoint presentation at the symposium).
♦️DESPITE THEIR blatant misrepresentation, our research files still ended up in the possession of the symposium producer and the man financing the event. That was August 2022.....
♦️Fast forward 10 months later in May of 2023 that same man who created the symposium financed a "new" election security technology organization.
(This group's name will also remain confidential for the moment because as of the printing of this blog, it has still not identified it's operating officers or resident agent. I believe THAT is because of the nature of it's secretive mission.) 🤫
♦️The evidence I have very recently uncovered about that mission is a tale in itself, which I will now describe BEFORE I tell you what they are ultimately claiming in support of their objective.
Shortly after the group was created in May 2023, it set about surreptitiously releasing negative media pieces that discredited the ERIC system.
Anyone that has followed me has been acutely aware that I too had taken a negative position about ERIC for many years and it's failure to deliver on its purpose AND that IT was "created" by the same "bad actors" who have undermined our elections from the beginning.
The ERIC System was a smokescreen set up to appease those claiming inaccurate Voter Rolls was where fraud is born.....it was a bait-and-switch , misdirection scheme.....those bloated "rolls" were a villain created to draw the public's ire instead of those people focusing on the corrupt internal election personnel and bureaucrats; who control every single facet of the process from set up to close and publication of the results. "Nothing is down without their knowledge.
ERIC was put in place to quiet the rising voices of distrust; and it worked brilliantly for awhile.....until they overplayed their hand.
✳️MORE ON ERIC CAN BE FOUND AT THE END OF THE BLOG.✳️
LETS GET BACK TO THE SCHEME TO GET RID OF THE ERIC SYSTEM
So this newly created technology group saw an opportunity to put the final nail in the ERIC System coffin and joined the cacophony of negativity as a number of states began to drop out and cancel their membership.
The group's mission was to insert itself into the void left by the discredited ERIC System and take over; claiming it WILL DO what ERIC failed to do.
In reality, it's just another team of "bad actors" to replace the other ones.....
IN ORDER to grab the attention of the moment and to sell the takeover idea, the group had to come up with a new narrative.....or at least a different one than ERIC was "selling"
The often ignored research from Maryland 20-20 Watch filled that need.
⭐ The promotional claims they made began on MARCH 6, 2024
.....the claims in their introductory advertisement presented TWO POINTS -
The ridiculousness of chasing Voter Rolls 👌🏽, and
CORRUPT INTERNAL ELECTION PERSONNEL© are the culprits .....
♦️ HERE'S SOME EXCERPTS from the promotional advertisement:
✅ "We learned the enemy is not only the Left, it is the Republican mediocres trying to make a buck or hold control - in the party, in organizations, in ad hoc voter integrity teams. These Republicans do exactly what the Left wants them to do - they chase voters - and get written up in the newspaper - becoming toxic in the process."
✅ There are many “crazies” in the voter integrity movement.
✅ "It’s what everyone calls people who use inaccurate data, make wild claims about voter fraud - which never works out. Those around them are embarrassed and in the end, not much changes."
✅ "These crazies made the entire “voter integrity” movement so toxic no serious political candidate or office holder will touch it - even when real evidence comes forth."
✅ "We were told repeatedly - stay away from person X or group Z - everyone knows they are nuts and any association with them makes you radioactive. Most of them continue to chase voter rolls."
⚠️ HOW MANY TIMES have you read similar words FROM ME⁉️
♦️NOW THE ICING ON THE CAKE:
"......election integrity orgs - GRIFTERS - gave Republicans comfort that their eye was on the ball. Instead it was on the buck - which they greedily collected - and missed the largest voter fraud event in the history of the planet."
PS- Maryland 20-20 Watch has NEVER accepted money or solicited donations.
✅ THEY ALSO WROTE- "These groups sold crap like voter guides, seminars, education materials - while Leftists built urban voter outreach registration programs - registering hundreds of thousands, collecting the ballots from the Postal Service - and taking the country away."
✅ AND THEY SAID- "Remember that next time the voter integrity groups hit you up for a donation to educate voters!
Don’t join the dopey donor class. "
✅ "Crazies took to the air waves making outlandish claims that not only never panned out, they were provably false."
✅ "Absolutely nobody wants to be connected to crazy people with their own broadcasting channel.
“Non-partisan” voter integrity groups, aligned with Republicans, continue to use useless relational technology....."
✅ "Billions of Dark Money dollars (ZUCKBUCKS) flow like underground rivers - and nobody can see any of it - except us."
⚠️DOES ANY OF THIS SOUND FAMILIAR? It should because
I PUBLISHED SUMPTER-HAW TWO YEARS AGO then 4 months afterward "THEY" RECEIVED MY RESEARCH. AND now echo those discoveries to support their reasoning.
THEY CONTINUED :
🚨"Republicans, for decades, promoted RINOs - who wanted to get along - at all costs. Well, in 2020 that bill came due."🚨
✅ AND "Election systems under the direction of CORRUPT INTERNAL ELECTION PERSONNEL in every swing state and many deep red states are hopelessly distrusted - and if you talk about it - you are shunned - or investigated."
⚠️ DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR?
✅ "The swing states - who will choose the next president - are currently working together - to stop Trump in 2024. Secretaries of State - collaborating - not to protect the vote but to undermine the election system."
⚠️ THAT SOUNDS LIKE CORRUPT INTERNAL ELECTION PERSONNEL TOO.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
TODAY we stand at the threshold of yet another election cycle where there remains a high expectation of fraud, unabated and a process that's corrupt to it's core.......
WE ARE NOW BEING ENJOINED (URGED) to replace the known crooked ERIC System with this NEW GROUP that claims it "can deliver" what ERIC didn't.
.....after a short period of additional personal observation into this evolving story and a bit more background on this group's plans and directors, if warranted, I'll provide that information along with it's name. There's no reason to provide any unearned press. Accordingly: Thank you for your indulgence until then.
👉🏾 Forget that the group was originally financed by a sideshow huckster who might just be trying to prove his own, as yet, unsubstantiated claims.
♦️ BUT WAIT - THERE'S MORE
They are claiming now the accuracy of election results and security can finally be achieved because THEIR NEW SOFTWARE is 💯% reliable in detecting FRAUD.....
WE'VE HEARD THAT BEFORE... 🥱
but at least they agree with the evidence and views provided by Maryland 20-20 Watch & MDREIC , so on that note -
SOMEBODY FINALLY GETS IT
and just maybe
THEY ARE ON TO SOMETHING 😎
but #NewtonSaidIt FIRST.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
✳️The Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) is a nonprofit organization in the United States whose goal is to improve electoral integrity by helping states improve the accuracy of voter rolls, increase access to voter registration, reduce election costs, and increase efficiencies in elections. ERIC is operated and financed by state election agencies and chief election officials. (Yes the foxes were guarding the hen house - We at Maryland 20-20 Watch had long ago coined the phrase "CORRUPT INTERNAL ELECTION PERSONNEL"© to describe those officials.
IN FACT, I have written extensively about ERIC, it's history & associations going back to 2012 and it's very beginning with Barack Obama & Maryland's own, Linda Lamone.
