I Prayed have prayed
Lord, please bring Your correction and justice to election issues in this country. We ask that You would set qualified people in place to bring about change where it is needed for the sake of accurate and fair elections in this nation. Amen.

A day after the November election, as Donald Trump and other Republican candidates clung to evaporating leads in Georgia, vote counters in Atlanta were confronted by a paper ballot known only by its anonymizing number 5150-232-18…

The image of the ballot, obtained by Just the News, shows the voter messily scribbled a large blob in the box to select Trump as president while also putting a thinner check mark next to Biden’s name.

At 6:10 p.m. ET on Nov. 4, 24 hours after the ballot was first scanned and rejected by Machine 5150, a panel of humans decided the vote should be awarded to Biden, with the notation “mark removed for Donald J. Trump.” You can see that ballot here:

The adjudication ballots alone are not enough to change a Georgia election in which Biden and Trump were separated by less than 13,000 votes. However, they reveal an imperfect system vulnerable to chaos, subjectivity, or political dirty tricks, especially in a county like Fulton where state officials documented widespread irregularities and misconduct and now want to take over election counting.

Just the News reviewed 1,604 pages of adjudication logs from Fulton County and reviewed 4820 of the 5064 ballot images where human vote counters reviewed or overrode the Dominion Voting machines. The JTN review provided an unprecedented window into the extraordinary discretion accorded adjudication judges to interpret a voter’s intent on a flawed ballot.

It also raised another troubling question, at least in Georgia, where election regulations create two conflicting imperatives. One regulation, which is quoted on each absentee ballot, emphatically declares that a paper ballot should be deemed “spoiled” and uncountable if a voter makes any mistakes or unauthorized marks.

“If you make a mistake or change your mind or change your mind on a selection do not attempt to mark through the selection or attempt to erase. Write ‘Spoiled’ across the ballot and across the return envelope” and get a new ballot, language on each ballot reads.

Just the News reviewed hundreds of ballots that met the “spoiled” definition — ballots that voters had in some way altered, defaced, or corrected — that were still allowed to count after adjudication. The reason? Another Georgia regulation gives election officials broad discretion to try to determine the intent of a confused voter, and actually encourages them to find a way to make flawed ballots count.

The Georgia code stipulates that voting tabulators must be programmed to “reject any ballot, including absentee ballots, on which an overvote is detected,” with those ballots to be “manually reviewed” by a review panel following their rejection.

If a voter “has marked his or her ballot in such a manner that he or she has indicated clearly and without question the candidate for whom he or she desires to cast his or her vote,” the state code says elsewhere, then the ballot “shall be counted and such candidate shall receive his or her vote.”…

For instance, “spoiled” was clearly written on ballot number 729-98-76, which had boxes for both Trump and Biden selected. Election judges awarded the vote to Biden and removed the mark for Trump. You can see that here:

But another ballot, 5162-207-61, had the word spoiled written on it and a vote solely for Trump. But it was rejected by the same process, showing just how uneven the system was. You can see that here:

Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s office said it did not have an immediate response on whether such spoiled ballots should have been allowed to go to adjudication, saying it was studying the matter. Raffensperger has said, however, Fulton County’s election processes are so flawed he believes the state of Georgia should take it into receivership…

“According to a Fulton County Board member, there were no written adjudication processes given to adjudicators,” Thorne told Just the News. “Processes were given verbally. In the event the Democrat and the Republican adjudicators could not agree, [county executive] Ralph Jones would decide…

Scores of adjudicated ballots ultimately were resolved with the notation “removed mark” next to Trump’s name, in most cases allowing a second mark next to Biden’s name to count. But at times it happened in reverse too, or to the detriment of third-party candidates…

The alteration and counting of flawed ballots were spread across all races, including state constitutional amendments and local legislative campaigns.

One of the clearest patterns involved the highly watched special U.S. Senate election that pitted Republican incumbent Sen. Kelly Loeffler against Democratic activist Raphael Warnock. The Just the News review showed the design of the ballot by Raffensperger’s office clearly confused many in the race because it offered 20 candidates, most of them Democrats. Voters often selected two or more of a party’s candidates, causing their votes ultimately to be rejected even after adjudication. Democrats were more likely to be negatively affected…

Jones also made numerous citations raising concerns about how absentee ballots and spoiled ballots were handled. Here are some direct excerpts from his notes:

  • “My math is still not zeroing out, so I get a staffer to explain it to me and they realize (after I talk to three and no one listens) that their math doesn’t add up, which prompts a search for more spoiled ballots to make up for the missing seven.”
  • “We missed one ballot! — Found during cleanup → I pointed it out to Ralph, otherwise he would’ve missed it or left it unsecured. → Turns out that it was spoiled but written in small print on the back.”…

“Similar actions took place in Detroit, Philadelphia, Green Bay and other major urban centers in swing states where tens of thousands of ballots were interpreted and counted by review panels,” said Phill Kline, the former Kansas attorney general and head of the Amistad Project, which has filed lawsuits to gain transparency in elections…

“With COVID as an excuse, election observers were kicked out of the counting room and private billionaires invited in,” Kline added, citing Mark Zuckerberg’s donations to election judges. “Americans deserve to know how this shadow government managed the election, and state election officials, rather than fighting efforts to understand what happened, should open the doors and support the effort to get at the truth!”

Exponential incompetence, and intended fraud, will not be fixed by Praying to fix corrupt voting systems. Only one system that counts accurate and true. Not words, words, and more words.

106,000 of 113,000 ballots were adjudicated in Fulton County alone. Don’t tell me that didn’t change the outcome of Georgia’s election. ES&S is in over half the Nations jurisdictions and Dominion is in over 750 more of them and they both provide for adjudication of cast ballots. A direct violation of the right to vote, equal protection of law and representation as well as due process. Every election system that allows ballot adjudication violates your rights before an election even starts. Title 42 USC, 1983 et seq. is how you address that ability of election supervisors to change votes on ballots or even create new ballots on site which can be scanned over and over.
The adjudication process being used in the counting process has already been used several times to control elections.https://teamlaw.net/video/TruthRe2020Election.mp4

Father, please bring the desire and pursuit of justice and truth into the halls of our government. Please give our leaders integrity and courage as they represent us in the legislative process. And Father, please bring a revival to your church and our nation. Amen

Christians, we need to rise up and communicate with our representatives and make our voices heard while we still have time to do so.

Do not support a party or politician that will not actively investigate 2020 election fraud. We need to do whatever we can to ensure “free and fair” elections.

Without free and fair elections abortion issues will not matter as the left will be able to do whatever they want.

Without free and fair elections our jobs and industries will continue to be outsourced to other nations.

Without free and fair elections our borders will remain porous and immigration laws will not matter.

Without free and fair elections corrupt lobbyists will continue to dominate in the legislative process.

Without free and fair elections our energy supplies will again become dependent on Middle Eastern Countries that wish to do us harm.

Without free and fair elections our nation’s standing in world affairs will continue to diminish.

Without free and fair elections the liberal plans for the Courts will come to pass and there will not be anything we can do about it. The liberal left who are not governed by fairness or truth will dominate the House, Senate and the Whitehouse, then the Supreme Court as well.

Without free and fair elections we WILL NOT be a government “of the people, by the people, and for the people.
We will be a government of unelected bureaucrats, corrupt MSM, and anti-Christian leftist globalist elites who want a managed decline of the U.S. so they can implement their ideology and goals.

We, the people, have been trampled, worn out, and beaten down by our corrupt political system for decades. We need politicians to stand with and defend our citizenry, like Trump did. We need political leaders to take action to stop this hostile take over. We always hear words but rarely see action from our leaders that claim they support us.

We need to tell our leaders that freedom is not always pretty, but fight for it instead of pouting in Washington and pretending you are representing the people.

We need to tell our leaders to resist, to fight, to investigate, expose, and correct any election fraud or nothing else matters….

I can’t imagine anyone that doesn’t question the November election!! Yes, we had better be very, very concerned about election fraud!! If we aren’t, we will see that same fraud perpetrated in every election! We have to get involved, at the city, state, and federal level. No more “letting others do it!” Look at the mess we are in now! Complacency is not acceptable, if we want our country back!
Can anyone really say that a majority of Americans would vote for a mentally incapable, totally corrupt, man like Biden?! Would they vote for a Party, who proudly stands for abortion, anti-God everything! Would they vote for out of control government? No, I really don’t think so!! That leaves just one answer, which is a fraudulent election. I believe there is plenty of proof! Sadly, I don’t think Republicans will do a thing about it. They are too afraid of the media, Big tech, big corporations, etc. so, it’s up to “we the people” to get involved at every level. Christians have to step up this time. Don’t wait for someone else to do it! America is in big trouble! We have to step up, we don’t have a choice anymore.

    At Team Law, teamlaw.net, we learn the law from its source then how to apply the law to get the remedy we are lookiing for. In order to obey, honor or sustain the law, you have to know what the law is on any given subject you may be confronted with. Like election supervisors having the ability to adjudicate cast ballots during the counting process. Title 42 USC, 1983 et seq. covers that situation perfectly. What is shocking is how many people have no clue of how to find a law or use their court system. That ignorance is taken advantage of by DC to the fullest extent right now. In fact, it is the sole cause of the situation our Nation is in. People begging God to save them and picketing “government” to start following the law (which they don’t know) is nothing short of pathetic. That is exactly what the Jews did in Germany.
    People should be suing their Secretary of State and county election supervisors under Title 42, USC, section 1983 et seq. if they use adjudication. No one gets the opportunity to alter other peoples ballots in over 85% of the Nations election jurisdictions.
