| Good evening. | |
| I'd like to start today's show with a question. | |
| Can votes that are stored overnight on USB drives mysteriously disappear? | |
| Well, apparently in Nevada, they can. | |
| This is your 2020 election update, and I'm your host, Roman, from the Epoch Times. | |
| Now, before we get into those USB drives in Nevada, I'd like to talk a little bit more about that surveillance video from Georgia, which showed boxes full of ballots being counted in the middle of the night without any supervision. | |
| First of all, Facebook's independent fact-checkers, they claim that there was nothing suspicious about it at all. | |
| They say that everything was on the up and up. | |
| They reached out to the election officials, and those officials told them that there was nothing weird about what happened. | |
| And so therefore, I should probably tell you to not click on that link in the top right corner right here to watch that video for yourself. | |
| Now, these officials, they didn't exactly explain why the containers filled with ballots were stored underneath a table with a long tablecloth over it. | |
| They also didn't explain why these containers were only wheeled out at 11 p.m. | |
| at night after all the poll observers and the other workers went home. | |
| These officials also claimed that poll observers weren't necessarily sent home for the night, and they were free to come back if they wanted to. | |
| However, that claim is disputed by the Republican officials and witnesses who were there on site. | |
| And now yesterday, Georgia's governor came out and he said that that surveillance video is very concerning and demands an explanation from election officials. | |
| He called on Georgia's Secretary of State to come out and address the video as well as the claims. | |
| And once they do, once they come out and make an official statement, we'll let you know what they say. | |
| But until then, once again, I should warn you, you probably should not click on that link in the top right corner to watch that surveillance video for yourself. | |
| Who knows, you might form your own opinion about it, which, according to the Facebook fact-checkers, might be dangerous. | |
| Now let's move over to Nevada. | |
| Yesterday, the Trump legal team over in Nevada, for the first time, presented evidence before a judge in their election lawsuit. | |
| And there was some very, very interesting testimony that came out of it. | |
| For instance, they have a witness who alleged that the USB sticks, the ones that were used to store the totals from the election machines, they had their tallies inexplicably changed overnight. | |
| According to this witness, the way that it worked was that the tallies were collected from the machine at the end of every voting day and stored on USB drives overnight. | |
| And what they did was that every single night they would log these USB sticks in and out, They had individual serial numbers on them. | |
| And he said that numerous times he witnessed the USB stick being logged out with one vote total on it and then being logged back in the next morning with a different vote total on it. | |
| Sometimes more, sometimes less. | |
| So what does that mean exactly? | |
| Why is it that in the middle of the night, votes are either appearing or disappearing? | |
| I mean, to me, it doesn't make any logical sense for that to happen. | |
| Now, this Trump campaign witness, he went on to say that the USB drives were not encrypted and that the voting machines were not password protected. | |
| Furthermore, these machines were apparently hooked up with laptops, implying that perhaps the laptops might have been compromised. | |
| Now, this witness testimony, the one that we just talked about with these USB sticks, was only one of several presented at this hearing in Nevada. | |
| If you'd like to watch the full hearing for yourself and hear all of the testimonies, I'll throw the link in the description box below this video for you to check out for yourself. | |
| And while you're going to be down there looking for that link, take a moment to smash that like button. | |
| These types of videos, the ones that talk honestly about this election, are routinely suppressed by the big tech conglomerates, such as, for instance, by the Facebook fact checkers. | |
| So when you hit that like button that's below this video, you are forcing the YouTube algorithm to share this video out to potentially thousands of more people, letting the truth be known far and wide. | |
| Now, I want to mention something else about this lawsuit in Nevada. | |
| I want to talk a little bit about the bigger picture here. | |
| At the core of the lawsuit are several batches of ballots that the Trump campaign alleges were either cast, processed, or counted illegally, including about 40,000 voters who allegedly voted twice. | |
| They're also arguing that the signatures on more than 130,000 ballots were verified solely by a machine, which is not in line with Nevada's election laws. | |
| And their argument is that every such instance, every instance of a vote being either counted or accepted that's not in line with state law, disenfranchises a person in Nevada who voted in accordance with the law. | |
| Now, the attorneys for the defendants in this case delivered a comprehensive point-by-point challenge to all of the Trump campaign's claims. | |
| And so, we'll have to wait and see what the court actually determines. | |
| However, if you're interested in reading the details of this lawsuit, the link will be in the description box below this video for you to check out for yourself. | |
| Now, let's move over to Arizona. | |
| As a part of the lawsuit that was brought forth by the Republican Party over there, they presented evidence of votes which were either altered or removed from President Trump's total. | |
| So here's what they alleged happened. | |
| Basically, when a ballot is damaged or can't be tabulated for some reason, the standard procedure is for the election workers to duplicate that ballot. | |
| And the way that this normally works is that one person would hold up the ballot, read out the people who were voted for, and then another person would mark up a new ballot in its place. | |
| And of course, they're supposed to be exactly identical. | |
| However, the plaintiffs in this lawsuit, the Republican Party, they claim that they examined 100 of these duplicate ballots, and that out of these 100, they found two that were incorrect. | |
| One ballot was identified where the original one, the one that was damaged or couldn't be tabulated, was clearly a vote for Trump, but the duplicate ballot switched the vote to Biden. | |
| The second ballot that was identified was one wherein the original ballot was clearly a vote for Trump, but the duplicate ballot had a vote for both Trump as well as a blank write-in candidate, which of course caused the Trump vote to be canceled out due to what's known as an overvote where a person votes for too many candidates at once. | |
| Now, of course, this is a small batch, but think about the implications for a moment. | |
| Two ballots out of 100 with a clear vote for Trump were canceled out. | |
| Now, in Maricopa County alone, which is Arizona's largest county by far, there were almost 28,000 of these ballots which were duplicated by election officials. | |
| Think about the implications of that. | |
| And so the Republican Party in this lawsuit in Arizona is requesting a broader examination of these ballots in order to look for more irregularities. | |
| Now, by the way, I want to mention that this lawsuit that we're discussing right now is totally separate from the other lawsuit in Arizona that was brought by Sidney Powell earlier this week. | |
| And if you'd like to learn more about Sidney Powell's lawsuit, we discussed that in greater detail in, I believe, yesterday's episode, and I'm going to throw the link to that in the top right corner here for you to check out for yourself. | |
| Otherwise, if you'd like to read more about these 2% of ballots in Arizona that were found to have been switched, I'll throw the link to that story in the description box below this video. | |
| Now let's move over to Wisconsin. | |
| In a previous episode, we discussed a lawsuit that was brought forth in Wisconsin by President Trump two days ago. | |
| If you don't remember, that lawsuit was brought against election officials and government leaders in Wisconsin, alleging both unlawful and unconstitutional acts in the way that they handled their election. | |
| I'll throw the link to that episode in the top right corner here for you to check out if you want to go deeper. | |
| Now, yesterday, the Trump campaign filed a series of affidavits and declarations in support of this lawsuit. | |
| So what do they say? | |
| Well, they make five key allegations. | |
| One, by allowing so many people to use mail-in ballots, election officials either ignored or compromised the state laws in Wisconsin, which limit the use of mail-in ballots. | |
| Because their officials allowed for the widespread use of unmanned, unobserved ballot drop boxes, they made it easier for people to do ballot harvesting, which is illegal. | |
| Three, they allege that vast numbers of mail-in ballots were processed and counted without oversight of poll watchers. | |
| Four, they allege that there was either a reduction or just a complete elimination of mandatory voter ID for mail-in ballots. | |
| And lastly, they allege that ballot tampering was permitted. | |
| What does that mean exactly? | |
| Well, specifically, they said that election workers were allowed to alter the certification of either the voter or the witness on mail-in ballots, which effectively undermined the principle that all absentee ballots in Wisconsin must be treated equally. | |
| Now this lawsuit included several sworn affidavits from poll observers about how they were kept too far away from the actual counting, to the point that there was no way that they could meaningfully observe what was actually taking place. | |
| In fact, take a look at this photo here that we had in this article that came out of Milwaukee. | |
| Notice that between the election workers who are counting the ballots and the two poll observers, there is a pane of glass. | |
| Why? | |
| Well, my guess is that it's because of the pandemic. | |
| But notice that the two election workers are sitting right next to each other. | |
| The two poll observers are sitting right next to each other as well. | |
| So to have one pane of glass in between the two groups of people, to me at least, doesn't make any sense. | |
| And sitting in the position that they're in, those poll observers are having to watch the ballots be counted from six feet away through a pane of glass where you can only see the paper upside down. | |
| I mean, what sense does that make? | |
| How can you meaningfully observe in this scenario? | |
| Well, here at the Epoch Times, we reached out to both the Wisconsin Elections Commission as well as to the government leaders who were mentioned in this lawsuit for comment. | |
| But I've yet to hear back. | |
| If you'd like to read the affidavits yourself, and there are a lot of very interesting ones in this case, I'll throw the links to them in the description box that's below this video for you to check out for yourself. | |
| Now lastly, I'd like to mention that this upcoming weekend, I will be spending time combing through the hearings in Arizona, Michigan, and Georgia, and pulling out the highlights in order to put them into a compilation video. | |
| Look out for that early next week. | |
| However, in so saying, there won't be a new episode tomorrow, which is Saturday. | |
| So, I hope that you will have a lovely weekend, and if you haven't already, smash that like button for the YouTube algorithm, subscribe to the channel so that you can get this honest news delivered directly to your YouTube feed every single week, and until next time, I'm your host, Roman from the Epoch Times. |
