Hey, everyone.
(00:00:02):
It's Friday, January 31st, 1 12 p.m.
(00:00:06):
And I just heard from my friend in Texas that the Secretary of State back in
(00:00:11):
December quietly decertified the ES&S branded poll pads.
(00:00:16):
So there's a few different brands of these iPads.
(00:00:20):
In Minnesota, we have to check in voters the No Ink, which is No Ink and B Pro version.
(00:00:27):
Of course, as we know from
(00:00:31):
The documentary on the total electronic system called Let My People Go,
(00:00:37):
there's a segment in there talking about how these are real-time monitoring and modification.
(00:00:44):
There's also a great post out there.
(00:00:46):
It's on either joehoft.com or Gateway Pundit.
(00:00:50):
It's by Aaron Clements and Jessica Palmea from South Dakota.
(00:00:54):
Aaron Clements from New Mexico talking about all the issues that we have with these poll pads.
(00:01:01):
They're not really just the check-in voters.
(00:01:04):
They have Microsoft Cloud Azure.
(00:01:09):
They have connectivity throughout the day, internet connectivity.
(00:01:15):
And if we looked just specifically at Minnesota statutes,
(00:01:19):
you can see that there are provisions made for absentee data to flow.
(00:01:25):
So there's data transfers happening of election data on election day.
(00:01:29):
And so when you put all that together,
(00:01:31):
basically what you have is real-time monitoring and modification.
(00:01:37):
that someone at a central command,
(00:01:39):
speaking of central command,
(00:01:41):
there's a command central feature set on these no ink software.
(00:01:49):
On these no ink pull pads, there's another aspect of it called total vote.
(00:01:55):
There's even a feature where ballots can be printed,
(00:01:58):
which was,
(00:02:00):
I think,
(00:02:00):
piloted in Hennepin County in 2024,
(00:02:04):
although I'm not being given information on that besides the contracts over the
(00:02:10):
last month.
(00:02:12):
But you can imagine that
(00:02:15):
If there was so much attention on the electronic tabulators themselves,
(00:02:19):
which are quite vulnerable to programming,
(00:02:22):
you can make a tabulator behave one day during the public accuracy test and then
(00:02:30):
behave a different way during the actual election and then not share any of the
(00:02:35):
logs or cast vote records or ballot images and just do a really basic hand count,
(00:02:42):
you know,
(00:02:42):
days and days after the election.
(00:02:46):
that's not a great audit, especially if you're not auditing down-ballot.
(00:02:51):
Well,
(00:02:54):
you can imagine with all the attention that came on the electronic tabulators of
(00:02:58):
ES&S and Dominion and Hart that
(00:03:01):
the cheat would have shifted over to something else,
(00:03:04):
and that cheat has shifted over to the electronic pull pads.
(00:03:07):
So these seem rather innocuous at first glance.
(00:03:09):
They're iPads.
(00:03:11):
My cashier at Kowalski is one of the election judges.
(00:03:13):
He's 17 years old.
(00:03:14):
She's like, oh yeah, they work great.
(00:03:16):
It's like,
(00:03:17):
yeah,
(00:03:17):
the user experience is fine on them,
(00:03:19):
but think about what's under the hood and how they connect to everything.
(00:03:23):
That's where the danger is.
(00:03:25):
So with all of the mail-in that we have,
(00:03:28):
46 days in Minnesota.
(00:03:30):
This information is monitored.
(00:03:34):
You have ballots being put through the tabulators,
(00:03:37):
which are modem connected in a lot of cases,
(00:03:40):
internet connected,
(00:03:41):
cell phone,
(00:03:41):
two-way towers,
(00:03:46):
about 15 days before the election.
(00:03:48):
And then on election day,
(00:03:49):
you have the real-time monitoring from the poll pads of people checking in.
(00:03:53):
When Eric votes, they pretty much know historically how I vote, so they can calculate that.
(00:03:58):
Now all that needs to be done is to find a voter who doesn't vote very often or one
(00:04:06):
of these slush fund kind of voters on the voter rolls,
(00:04:08):
which we don't have access to as citizens during that election day.
(00:04:12):
It's kind of blocked off for us.
(00:04:15):
And have ballots delivered to wherever they need to be delivered up through 8 p.m.
(00:04:19):
on election night in Minnesota.
(00:04:21):
So basically all the pieces are in place.
(00:04:23):
When you think about the poll pads, plus the mail-in, plus the late delivery,
(00:04:28):
And there were cases in Minnesota on the 2024 election where it took until 2, 3 a.m.
(00:04:35):
in the morning after results were posted, they were taken down, then posted again.
(00:04:41):
And this is because absentee ballots are coming in late.
(00:04:44):
If I was a bad actor, I would absolutely exploit this system.
(00:04:48):
This way, Rick Weibel showed how you can actually buy ballots from C-Change.
(00:04:54):
And then he went one step further and printed out real,
(00:04:59):
with that ballot stock printed out real ballots.
(00:05:02):
Those can easily be entered into C-Change.
(00:05:05):
the tabulators by someone,
(00:05:07):
a bad actor,
(00:05:08):
or slipped into mail-in envelopes,
(00:05:12):
which can also be acquired pretty easily.
(00:05:14):
So it doesn't take much to rig an election.
(00:05:18):
And this is why there's so much focus on bringing us back towards simplicity.
(00:05:25):
There's a tremendous amount of beauty in simplicity.
(00:05:28):
It costs a lot less just on the front end, but also think about the back end.
(00:05:32):
Think about all of the headaches that all of us are having right now.
(00:05:39):
From my perspective, it's really not so much of a headache as it's just...
(00:05:44):
a gradual learning process.
(00:05:46):
We fail to persuade someone so the next time we can persuade a little bit better.
(00:05:52):
So for me,
(00:05:53):
it's the poll pads plus the mail-in equals a rigged election almost every time if
(00:05:58):
you want that to happen,
(00:06:00):
if you want to pull those levers.
(00:06:02):
And therefore,
(00:06:02):
we're in a weird situation where we don't really know if any of our elected
(00:06:06):
officials were properly elected,
(00:06:09):
if there was a close race.
(00:06:10):
And even if it wasn't close,
(00:06:13):
then it's still in question.
(00:06:16):
Because just to cap this off, think about how the AG, how he was able to tweet at 3.57 p.m.
(00:06:24):
on election day in 2020 that they don't have all the votes they need quite yet.
(00:06:31):
Think about how he was able to say that.
(00:06:33):
What information did he have that you and I didn't have?
(00:06:36):
What information did the Secretary of State have that we didn't have?
(00:06:40):
Or did any bad actor that had access to these systems?
(00:06:42):
Well, it might have come through the poll pad plus the mail-in data that they had
(00:06:49):
acquired up to that point.
(00:06:51):
And then, you know, in that presidential election, Biden in Minnesota won by 7.2 points.
(00:06:57):
It was a huge, you know, it was a blowout for Biden in Minnesota.
(00:07:01):
So why did he say we don't have the votes quite yet?
(00:07:05):
And then how was there a blowout?
(00:07:06):
So there, in my opinion, was like a pretty big
(00:07:12):
Pretty big effort on multiple lenses here.
(00:07:16):
And it's just about peeling back some of these layers.
(00:07:19):
And when we fail to persuade someone, that's okay.
(00:07:21):
We learn how to improve what we bring to the table.
(00:07:29):
But in Texas, the Secretary of State has decertified the ES&S brand pull pads.
(00:07:35):
And, you know, ES&S is our biggest electronic tabulator vendor here in Minnesota.
(00:07:41):
So maybe we should consider whether we should use those tabulators.
(00:07:45):
However,
(00:07:47):
our legislature in 2023 said they're now mandated for those precincts that used
(00:07:52):
them before,
(00:07:53):
which was pretty much all of them.
(00:07:56):
And these poll pads, though, are not.
(00:07:59):
although the sos and various county attorneys have made noises that they are even
(00:08:04):
though half the about half of the counties are not using them so they're using
(00:08:11):
paper poll books to check in voters which i think is great so just a quick update
(00:08:16):
there that texas has i think made a pretty nice move to protect their voters there
(00:08:24):
and i think minnesota
(00:08:27):
Should citizens should consider whether they want to alert their local city
(00:08:34):
councils or towns and counties to reconsider whether you need these poll books at all.
(00:08:40):
Just checking the voters as you did prior to 2018 or 2016 on paper.
(00:08:45):
And you completely take out the option of cheating with mail-in based on that
(00:08:49):
real-time monitoring.
(00:08:50):
Like you could just completely take that off the table.
(00:08:53):
And I think that's a pretty good option.
(00:08:55):
All right, that's it for now.
