Democrats resisting anti-voter fraud probes, reforms nationwide

In Wisconsin, for example, Michael Gableman, a special investigator leading one of the probes into the state's 2020 elections, has said Wisconsin's Elections Commission, its administrator, and two big-city Democratic mayors have refused to answer any of his questions about the Center for Tech and Civic Life, a Chicago-based nonprofit funded by Mark Zuckerberg.

Miller sees them as "An emergency measure during the pandemic, but many counties did not follow the security guidelines in place, such as the requirement for camera surveillance on every drop box." "Removing drop boxes," he continued, "Will help rebuild the trust that has been lost. Many see them as the weak link when it comes to securing our elections against fraud. For the small number of Georgians who need to vote absentee, that will remain as easy and accessible as it was before 2020." In Pennsylvania, Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer launched an investigation last month into videos that appear to show county election officials destroying ballots and machinery in the 2020 election.

In the 92-page complaint, the plaintiffs say they requested election return sheets of reported and machine recorded election results with supporting documentation in a request under Pennsylvania's Right to Know Law.

"The defendants fraudulently and intentionally deleted, changed, adulterated, manipulated, and/or obscured the information, data, and materials produced in response to the RTK request in order to hide their fraud and election code violations because they knew that they could not reconcile the previously fraudulently reported November 3, 2020 election results with the actual responsive information that they had in their possession and which they were required to preserve and produce in response to the Right to Know request," according to the suit.

The two sides had one thing in common: Both were focused on the outcome of the 2020 election - which misses the point of audits, argues one election observer.

" In each of the above cases and others across the country, critics of the election integrity measures framed them as efforts to promote the "Big Lie" that the presidential election was stolen from Trump due to voter fraud and irregularities.

According to recent polling, the vast majority of Republican voters don't trust elections, while less than half believe next year's midterm elections or the 2024 elections will be fair.
