I am a snoop for ultra-vires (i.e., beyond power) acts by the US Congress. As soon as The Legislature does something for which Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution did not give it a grant of power, my hackles get raised.
But now I have found one such deviation that does not bother me as an act of ultra vires, per se. Rather it is a shocker unto itself. It has to do with federal involvement in the vote count.
Well, not federal, sensu stricto. Rather, there is a self-proclaimed body — to be exact it is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. It is private, not governmental, yet it has allocated an important assignment to itself. Please be patient, I will describe it below, if God spares me.
The Collier Brothers
You may recall that my 2011 book “Prosecution for Treason” discussed the work done by Jim and Ken Collier, which is presented in their 1992 book “VoteScam.” I said:
“The Collier brothers revealed in the early 1990s that the reason the TV networks are able to announce the national vote as soon as the polls are closed is that they knew those figures even before the polls opened! Elections involving computers can be rigged. … The main surprise Jim and Ken found was that the announcement made by the media was based on a private group’s count of the vote. …”
Hello? What? How is this possible? Back in 1992, it was a consortium of the three major networks, plus CNN, and AP. They were called NES — News Election Service. (Think about it! The unmitigated cheek! The colossal gall!)
The Collier brothers noted, in VoteScam, that a meeting on November 26, 1985 was attended by: Katherine Graham of Washington Post, Lawrence Grossman of NBC, Roone Arledge of ABC, Robert Tisch of Loews, William Leonard of CBS, and Hamilton Jordan of CNN.
Not to mention, also, Lane Kirkland, president of AFL-CIO, the chairmen of both the Republican and Democrat national committees, Sen Wendell Ford, Rep Tony Coelho, and New Hampshire Governor John Sununu… [not the current governor, but his father, born 1939, whose other son, John E Sununu, born 1964, is with the WEF]. Quite a meeting of the minds.
I can hear the TV voice of Walter Cronkite now, solemnly calling out the names of the winners as early as 8pm on election night — back in the 1960s. Maybe he was not apprised of the reality of “the News Election Service” — but most likely he was.
By digging around, Jim Collier found that a private group did the calling in of the numbers to headquarters. That was — wait for it — The League of Women Voters. Collier had noticed that some polling booths were housed in schools and fire stations, and in the 1980s these did not have computers, so he realized the “vote counts” must have been phone in.
In 2003, the News Election Service (“service” meaning, you know, they kindly help society on vote night) changed its name. Instead of NES we now had the slightly more opaque acronym, NEP, for National Election Pool.
Lawsuit of Dr Shiva, Candidate for US Senate in 2018 and 2020
I digress for a moment to tell you about a Discovery in a court case. Dr Shiva filed a lawsuit about his having been defeated in the 2020 race for the US Senate seat of Massachusetts of which Elizabeth Warren was the incumbent.
He is not a medical doctor but a techie man from MIT, full name: Vellayappa Ayyadurai Shiva, PhD, born 1963. He discovered irregularities that eventually led him to learn that the work done by League Voters and by the NEP is now connected to another organization — the NASED. That’s the National Association of States’ Election Directors.
Per its website, NASED is a: “nonpartisan 501 (c)(3) professional organization that disseminates election administration best practices and information across the states.”
Professional organization? Best practice? Disseminates information? Are you thinking AMA? ABA? that sort of thing? I am guessing it is similar thereto, but where folks all know about the American Medical Association and the American Bar Association, the NASED is hush hush city. As I noted, Dr. Shiva learned of it as part of Discovery.
Still, his find wouldn’t have jumped out at me but for my having read the Colliers’ labor of love. And I must tell you that Jim went to every law enforcement person he could find and every journalist in town (Washington DC) with his story. None would listen. Robert Mueller at the DoJ — or should I say the Do”J” — chased him off. Jim then died of cancer at age 60.
The Tie-in to Congressional Legislation
Recall my disgust with ultra vires actions of Congress. I have not yet researched to see if legislation has come about to give the NASED a formal role in vote counting. The AMA effectively “nationalized” medicine by getting each state’s legislature to give it control over doctors, for instance, by approving medical licenses and disciplining any member who does not follow ‘best practice.’
Congress has insinuated itself into elections by “Right To Vote” Acts and by criminalizing certain behaviors. In 1993, it passed a law that is codified at 52 USC 20511 as follows:
“A person, including an election official, who in any election for Federal office—
(1) knowingly and willfully intimidates, threatens, or coerces, … any person for—(A) registering to vote, or voting, or attempting to register or vote; (B) urging or aiding any person to register to vote … (C) exercising any right under this chapter; or (2) knowingly and willfully deprives, defrauds, or attempts to deprive or defraud the residents of a State of a fair and impartially conducted election process, by—
(A) the procurement or submission of voter registration applications that are known by the person to be materially false … or (B) the procurement, casting, or tabulation of ballots that are known by the person to be materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent under the laws of the State in which the election is held, shall be fined … or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.”
I suppose that suggests that someone would be in charge of catching the perpetrators of any of those crimes: the “procurement, casting, or tabulation of ballots that are known by the person to be materially false.” Maybe the DoJ has appropriated that duty, although of course, that’s not proper. There is no federal role for guarding the polling booths.
Note: The Constitution does make it possible for the federal government to overcome bad state actions in the election of Senators and Representatives. Namely, in Article I, Section 5, it says, “Each House shall be the Judge of the Elections, Returns, and Qualifications of its own Members.”
Inspecting the NASED
Let me know if you DON’T agree that the National Association of States’ Election Directors — and its hush-hushness — makes a complete mockery of the election system, and for that matter of democracy, and for that matter of the United States and its people, K?
According to its website, NASED.org was founded in 1989, and “is a nonpartisan, nonprofit professional association for state election directors in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the five US territories.”
Ah, so I see that while it is not governmental (its website is dot.org not dot.gov) the participants are members of state government, perhaps such as Secretaries of State. They are meeting like the Teachers Union, say. To continue:
“In each of their states, election directors are responsible for implementing election laws and policies, maintaining the voter registration database, working with local election officials to ensure a successful voting experience for all voters [Dear God], and more.”
In 2002, Congress passed “HAVA” — the “Help America Vote Act.” Per Nased.org:
“HAVA created new mandatory minimum standards for states to follow in several key areas of election administration, including provisional voting, voter registration, voter identification, and voting technology and equipment. These requirements increased the importance of strong communication and coordination among state election directors.”
Sorry but I find this frightening. Government officials are meeting under private auspices. That means that the minutes of their meeting if such there be, are not open for inspection. I know you are wanting to know what action NASED took about the stolen 2020 presidential election, right? I wonder, if you approach your state’s Director, will he or she share with you the group’s thinking on that subject? And does he/she feel greater loyalty to the NASED entity than to you?
The Hot Dirt from Italy
To buttress my attack on election cheating, I now add three testimonies that contain major accusations. One is from Italy, concerning the November 2020 presidential election, another is from a military man in the US concerning the 2022 midterm elections. One is a quote from Paul Craig Roberts on the suspicious hold-up of votes at Maricopa County, Arizona, today.
Arturo D’Elia is the former head of the IT Department of a company called Leonardo SpA. He was recently arrested in Italy about a matter that has nothing to do with elections, but he gave out some information and offers to sing a bit more, in exchange for the protection of his family and himself. I think his lawyer wrote the following:
“[O]n 4 November 2020, under instruction and direction of US persons working from the US Embassy of Rome, [they?] undertook the operation to switch data from the US elections of 3 November 2020 from significant margin of victory for Donald Trump to Joe Biden in a number of states where Joe Biden was losing the vote totals.
“Defendant states he was working in the Pescara facility of Leonardo SpA and utilised military grade cyber warfare encryption capabilities to transmit switched votes via military satellite of Fusion Tower to Frankfurt Germany. The defendant swears that the data in some cases may have been switched to represent more than total voters registered.
“…. Defendant states he has secured in an undisclosed location the backup of the original data switched upon instruction to provide evidence at court in this matter.” [Emphasis added]
That’s from the website Filmon.com, with the heading “from Testimony of Senior Italian Judge Alfio D’Urso – Italian Tax Court and Supreme Court Public Defender.” I hoe you can put it to use in some way. Writing about elections is not my usual job.
The 2020 Election Manipulations
Here is Paul Craig Roberts on Maricopa County, as from his website parulcraigroberts.org on November 11, 2022:
“Roughly a half-million day-of-voting ballots, which are believed to be largely Republican, are sitting uncounted while Democrats continue to bring in unexplained tranches of votes after the deadline. Where these tranches are coming from and why so late, and why they, but not the day-of-voting half million, are being counted is unexplained.
“It naturally raises suspicion that the incoming tranches are fraudulent votes to boost the Democrat candidates, and the day of voting ballots, largely Republican, are sitting there awaiting accidental deletion or some other way of disposing of them.”
Finally, but I have no way to authenticate this, a video has been posted at rumble.com by “We the People News” on Veterans Day. November 11, 2022, with the title “Situation Update, Resurrection Day.” I direct you only to the talk starting at 42 minutes and ending at 55 minutes. The man says he was allowed to view the screens of a software company fiddling with the midterm votes.
