The Election Security Hole Everyone Ignores | Politico
An August 2020 Politico article identified electronic pollbooks as a potential fatal flaw in our election system:
Increasing numbers of polling places use electronic devices to check in voters and verify their eligibility. But the devices often create chaos and introduce new vulnerabilities to elections.
“Electronic pollbooks have failed, repeatedly, in elections across the country and are clearly one of the weakest links in our election infrastructure,” Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) told POLITICO in an email. The [Soros-funded] Brennan Center for Justice calls electronic pollbooks an “overlooked vulnerability.”
Introduced more than a decade ago to replace printed pollbooks, the devices were used by election offices in 36 states in the 2018 elections, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, which said the number of jurisdictions using them had risen 48 percent since 2016. They are especially common in densely populated urban areas, accounting for about half of all registered voters, the National Academy of Sciences reports.
E-pollbooks serve multiple purposes: voters use them to sign in at the polls, and poll workers use them to verify the voters’ eligibility to cast ballots. In some jurisdictions, they also tell electronic voting machines which digital ballot to display to the voter.
The devices often communicate wirelessly with each other and with backend voter registration databases, offering a potential pathway for hackers who get onto that wireless network to delete or alter voter records — to indicate falsely, for example, that someone has already voted. Hackers could further use the wireless connection to breach the backend databases and other systems connected to them.
E-pollbook systems are currently being used in the 2021 CA gubernatorial recall election. In Los Angeles County, where in some locations as many as 70% of voters are being turned away due to inaccurate information, the pollbook vendor is Knowlink.

AG Brnovich Files First Lawsuit Against the Resident’s Vax Mandates
I promised Arizonans that we would not stand for the Biden Administration's egregious federal overreach on vaccine mandates.
Today, we have filed the first lawsuit in the nation against the unconstitutional mandates. Arizona will not tolerate this assault on our sovereignty.

Please be advised that the Independent Redistricting Commission adopted a “grid map” this morning. Pursuant to the AZ Constitution the “grid map” is the starting point for the IRC mapping process. The “grid map” only takes into account equal population in what amounts to an artificial starting point that does not relate to any of the other criteria such as, the Voting Rights Act, communities of interest, geographic features, etc.. You should review the “grid map” and discuss with your constituents changes that you want to present to the IRC regarding what is good or bad about the map as it relates to your district. The IRC will begin to take testimony on the Grid Map starting in the next few days. Check the IRC schedule of public hearings on the “grid map” on the IRC website at irc.az.gov. Do not panic, this is just the start of the mapping process that will play out over the next several months.

I know people are frustrated at the delays of getting the audit out. You can be mad now - that is ok. Also, if your state isn't doing an audit, maybe take that frustration out on your own state legislators and senators so they get the ball rolling? You will all love us when it finally does drop so I am not worried about all of the angry comments. This audit is serious business and I am going to keep pushing and doing what is right. Maricopa is also running out of time before they have to hand over the routers and other missing information/equipment. YOU WILL LOVE THE ARIZONA SENATE SOON EVEN THOUGH SOME ARE MAD AT US NOW.

All it takes to see how a mail-in voter voted in the CA recall is to shine a weak cellphone flashlight through the back of the envelope.
Suppose you wanted to use this tiny flaw to throw out the ballots of people who voted the wrong way. What would you do?
You would push hard to encourage voting by mail and extend the voting period. And you’d push to allow ballots to come in for days afterwards (7 days in CA!)
If one corrupt person can check one ballot manually every 10 seconds, that’s 360 per hour or 2,880 per day. If the election voting period lasts *4 weeks*, then one bad apple can process 57,600 ballots.
What if four people worked just *one* diligent 8-hour shift, flashlight-sorting a pile of 50-50 votes?
Exploits like this exist. Anyone who says otherwise is lying to you.
Mass mail-in voting for mere convenience is insane and we should not tolerate it.

Sen. Mark Kelly ignores Arizonans and is rarely even in our State. He's a radical that supports the AOC/Bernie/Biden agenda to destroy our currency, sovereignty, and economy.
This budget scam is absolutely bonkers and we are going to make our voices heard!
The political and economic victory of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is being unraveled by the Left and Democrats in Congress. The current reconciliation package is just another attempt at dismantling anything successful from the last four years, being sure they fulfill their campaign promises to end anything President Trump had attached to his name. Passing the $3.5 trillion reconciliation package would serve as the largest tax increase in American history only to pay for the Green New Deal, job cuts, and tax breaks for coastal elites.

Election Investigation Must Include People and Flow of Money | War Room
Amistad Project founder Phill Kline argues for a 4th component to the 2020 election audits. In addition to the canvass and forensic examination of the ballots and machines, we must investigate the people and the flow of money.
“We need someone under oath who fesses up… Start with the financial documents… get the bank records which show the flow of information into people’s pockets. It’s evidence like this that breaks open the potential conspiracy to manufacture a win for Biden,” Kline explains.
Raffensperger and Kemp’s approval of a Dominion voting system that was in clear violation Georgia law is a perfect example of needing to follow the money. Warrior Senator @KellyTownsend has already initiated this type of investigation in Arizona with an audit of the Dominion procurement process and private grant monies received by the SOS and Maricopa and Pima counties.
Kline reminds us, “The burden should be on the election officials to demonstrate that they complied with the law in running the election — it shouldn’t be on the investigators to prove fraud before they start an investigation. …Their obfuscation, hiding of evidence, actual possible deletion of evidence is evidence in itself that they didn’t do their job.”
