The War We Are In - Equal Protection Under Election Law -

Chaos Permeates Recent Election

Absentee Ballot Model Completely Violated

Conservative Warrior: In the continuing series “The War We Are In, Joseph D. Leatherwood supplies us with another well-thought-out article, “Equal Protection Under Election Law.” He hits us with revealing information that you will never hear from the corrupt Mainstream Media.

Equal Protection Under Election Law

I wrote this piece in its first incarnation as a letter to the United States President and each Supreme Court member. I encouraged the President to continue his fight to win this election and overthrow the corruption that overwhelmed our electoral process in targeted states, counties, and municipalities across this nation.

I have been an election official in Texas for over 36 years. I have served as Election Judge, Elections Trainer, Deputy Voter Registrar, Poll watcher and Republican representative on the County Election Department’s Ballot Committee. So, I have seen and experienced the election process closely and personally while working with several election systems (setups) over the years. What I have observed in this election and its “administration” is appalling and distressing. I sent this article, in the form of a letter to members of the Supreme Court, to give them the perspective of an Election Judge. So, let me expound.

THREE SIMULTANEOUS ELECTIONS

Three elections were being conducted simultaneously in terms of the election in each of the battleground states.

There was the election conducted based on the existing state election laws in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Nevada, Arizona, and Georgia (and in other locations). This lawful election witnessed voters adhering to election law by presenting themselves at the polls, presenting proper identification, signing the poll list and for a ballot, issued a ballot, allowed to choose a voting booth (machine), vote their ballot, return their ballot to a ballot box where it was scanned and inserted.

There were strict security protocols all along this process to prove the chain of custody for every ballot voted in-person. This same process applies to every voter and their ballot if they chose to vote early, in-person. The only thing that we cannot absolutely verify is that the machine recorded, scanned, and counted the ballots properly.

In any election, voters place their trust in the integrity of the election judge, his/her staff, the integrity of the machines (system), and, down the line, the County Election Department to conduct an open, fair, observable, and honest count.

The Second Election

During this period, the second election was what we call absentee voting, where an individual requests a ballot by mail using an application that they must sign…and in Texas, it must be witnessed. This is Absentee Voting by mail conducted under existing state election laws. In this process, the voter receives a paper ballot, where they fill it out and return it to the County Election Department.

In this process, the voter request was compared to the current voter registration list, and if on the list, he or she was issued a ballot. The ballot was mailed and included: the ballot envelope, the security envelope, and the paper ballot. All three elements are considered “the ballot” for evidentiary purposes. The voter then filled out his or her ballot, folded it, placed it in the security envelope, and the security envelope was then placed inside the ballot envelope. The voter must always sign the ballot, and another signature may be required in a signature block on the security envelope for comparison purposes. Note: A signature on the security envelope is not always required.

The voter then mails the ballot where it is postmarked by the USPS or drops the ballot off at the County Election Department, where it is stamped on arrival. Those ballots arriving by USPS must have both a postmark and a stamp from the County Election Department. All along this process, the absentee ballot follows a strict security protocol from the request for an absentee ballot to the time it arrives back at the County Election Department.

The Third Election

The third election held in these states (and others) was the VBM mail-in ballot. This third election, if handled lawfully, would have followed the Absentee Ballot Model, outlined above, where security protocols were followed from issuance to arrival at the County Election Department. As we know, no one requested the ballots; they were sent out to prospective voters, some not even registered to vote in the state issuing them. Ballots were mailed to locations where the prospective voters no longer lived, or the location was operating as a business or non-existent. This form of election was not authorized by Election Law but was conducted administratively through County Election Departments, election boards, by executive orders issued by elected officials, or judicial fiat. In every case, VBM balloting by-passed existing state election law in every state it was conducted across the United States.

The VBM method of voting was ripe for fraud, and today we are living through the consequences of those unfortunate actions. Security Protocols were ignored all along the process from issuance to arrival at the County Election Department. Postmarks were not required (or missing), stamps by the County Election Department were not required (or missing), signatures were not required (or missing) if there was a signature, no verification was conducted, many “ballots” were returned with no ballot envelope or security envelope. Under the Absentee Ballot Model, ballots by mail should have required all three elements to be present to be counted. There was no chain of custody for these ballots from issuance to arrival. Voting dates were changed arbitrarily, extending the voting period before the election to variable days after the election for both voting and returning VBM ballots. In other words, voting could and probably did occur after election day, 3 November 2020.

Three Separate but Simultaneous Elections

What this demonstrates is there were three separate but simultaneous elections conducted in 2020. At a minimum, the County Election Department in each location should have segregated the ballots for each of these elections: In-person, Absentee, and Mail-in. They were not. Two of these were lawful elections; the third was conducted unlawfully where state legislatures and existing state election laws were purposely by-passed and a VBM scheme imposed by executive or judicial fiat. In addition to these “three elections” and the obvious unlawful nature of the one, there has emerged the issue of voting machine integrity, which has thrown a cloud over the election in general, including past elections.[1]

Clearly, there were several illegal actions of a constitutional nature associated with the methods of balloting:

Those voters who (a) voted in-person election day or early voted along with (b) those who voted by absentee were discriminated against under election law. These lawful voters played by the rules. By dispensing with security protocols and destroying the ballot chain of custody, unlawful balloting (VBM mail-in) violated the rights of the lawful voters in several ways. The equal protection clause does not allow for one class to follow one set of security protocols and ballot chain of custody procedures while another need not adhere to the same protocols and procedures. This would apply across the nation, indicating a clear violation of election law that disenfranchised voters in their own states and other states who abided by the law.
The VBM mail-in balloting scheme ignored state legislatures and existing state election law; rather, it was imposed by executive or judicial fiat.
Security protocols were ignored under the VBM mail-in scheme, often simply ordered by election boards, County Election Departments, elected officials, and even election workers.
No chain of custody for most of these VBM mail-in ballots exist; we do not know their origins, who filled them out, when they were voted, or when they arrived at County Election Departments.

COUNTING PROCEDURES – 1

Besides the three simultaneous elections, there is the issue of counting ballots which provides egregious examples of electoral corruption. Whether you believe Stalin smart enough to articulate this or not, it is reputed that he said, “It’s not the people who vote that count, it’s the people who count the votes.”

What unfolded after ballots arrived at County Election Departments and their voting centers provide ample evidence of this truism. All TV and other recorded footage showing election workers at the various locations across the nation and in these counting centers provide a plethora of examples of election law violations. All such footage should be collected, impounded, analyzed, and presented as evidence to the courts demonstrating these violations.

Election workers processed, reported, and counted ballots individually without any observation from partisan observers, in clear violation of existing election law.
Election workers in many cases ripped open ballot envelopes, ripped open the security envelope, and simply discarded both onto the floor or into a garbage can.
Stacks of ballots were simply placed on tables, and while “processing” these ballots, additional ballots were inserted (intermingled). There was no recording of the number of ballots being “batched processed,” ballots were simply added.
In no cases, in any of this footage, did election workers adjudicate the legality of a single ballot.
Election workers did not maintain any worksheets recording the sequence number on the ballot, recording that sequence number on the ballot envelope and the security envelope.
No visible worksheets were documenting the “batch processing” of these ballots. There should have been a worksheet, batch number assigned to the worksheet, number of ballots, the sequence number of those ballots, the partisan observers present, and the processor (counter). None of that was being accomplished in these “counting centers.”
Election workers, employees of County Election Departments, are not election officials under state law; they are employees of the county they work.

Election Chaos

This willy-nilly processing, reporting, and counting of the ballots showed no organized methodology, no worksheets to document the ballots, no partisan observers present, no adjudication of the legal status of a single ballot, and no supervision – in that envelopes were simply discarded, and ballots were intermingled without reference to batch processing methods.

The counting of these VBM mail-in ballots was accomplished essentially without following any:

security protocols,
strict counting procedures,
no adjudication of ballots,
no verification of ballot chain of custody,
no partisan observers,
no batch processing method, and
no worksheets.

There appears to have been little or no adjudication of the VBM mail-in ballot based on the TV footage or from the reports by observers on site (even some election officials).

Partisan observers should have been present from the start for the processing of ballots, election night. Election workers, employees of the County Election Department are not elected officials. Employees of the County Election Department are, at best, counters or processors assisting partisan observers; they should never have been allowed to participate in the processing, reporting, and counting of the ballots. The processing, reporting, adjudication of ballots, and counting should have been accomplished by a county ballot committee (made up of equal numbers of partisan observers). The processing of VBM mail-in ballots should have followed the rigorous counting methodology of the Absentee Ballot Model.

Corrupt Election Officials?

Election officials – those in charge of County Election Departments – and elected officials knew all of this and should have insisted on this model from the start. Had they done their jobs and followed the law, we would not be in this current mess. So, it is these officials who should be held responsible for the ineptness, incompetency, and corruption present in this election, though there is much time for identifying others responsible for this travesty, this attack on our electoral system.[2]

This behavior appears to have occurred across the nation and particularly in these battleground states. Such actions on the part of local election officials, those in charge of County Election Departments, and elected officials in these states and locations appear to be part of a coordinated effort in that such blanketed ignorance of the law and failure to be prepared logistically demonstrate a wanton act of malfeasance. No election official (or their elected officials) understanding the monumental amount of work associated with VBM mail-in balloting would have been so woefully unprepared, except to be part of the scheme carried out by, and this is my opinion and my words, the National Socialist Party and their allies.

Correct Ballot Counting

The counting should have been accomplished by two partisan observers (more if there were other major party candidates) at each table. Each table would have been given a batch of ballots – normally about fifty at a time. A worksheet would be maintained by this team recording who they are and who they represent, the batch number (worksheet), the USPS postmark and County Election Department stamp showing arrival and acceptance of the ballot recorded, and the sequence number for each ballot they processed, sequence numbers must also be recorded on the respective ballot envelope and security envelope. Three stacks would be established: the ballot, ballot envelope, and security envelope. Once the ballot is removed from the security envelope, the observers will see if it is signed. At that time, the signature will be verified by using prescribed comparison methods based on existing election law. Once adjudicated and assuming the signature is accepted, the ballot is placed in a stack for tabulation (counting).

Any VBM mail-in ballot that did not meet the security protocols and the counting procedures:

At least two partisan observers processing the ballots (a counter or processor may be used from the County Election Department, but they have no role other than recording information)
A batch processing or worksheet number to document process (may be maintained by the counter or processor)
A clear USPS postmark (the exception is the voter dropped off his ballot with County Election Department),
Every ballot would have a County Election Department stamp (date received),
The sequence number for each ballot,
Verification by observers that sequence numbers were recorded on the ballot’s respective ballot envelope and security envelope,
The ballot is signed,
An adjudication of the signature-based on prescribed state election law,
The adjudication initialed by each observer,
Ballot accepted and put in stack for tabulation (counting),
Batch handed off to election officials for tabulation (counting),
Initial of the election official taking responsibility for the tabulation of the ballots, and
All ballot items: ballot, ballot envelope, security envelope, and worksheet are moved forward in the process – ballots counted and accompanying items categorized for tracking ballot chain of custody.

Missing any of these items, the VBM mail-in ballot should NOT have proceeded without further adjudication. Any ballot not processed by the criteria above should be considered illegal. An exception might be the adjudication of the signature-based on prescribed election law. Under this scheme, voters who (a) voted in-person election day or early voted in-person along with (b) those who voted by absentee were discriminated against under election law. Lawful voters played by the rules, and their ballots counted using prescribed methodologies. By dispensing with security protocols, destroying the ballot chain of custody, and not adhering to a prescribed, pre-determined method of processing mail-in ballots, these states and locations caused injury to every voter in their state and across the nation. In these states and locations, there was no methodology in place, e.g., witness TV footage and testimony, therefore, rendering this counting method (VBM mail-in) unlawful and violating the lawful voters’ rights in several ways.

Several Illegal Actions

Clearly, there were several illegal actions of a constitutional nature associated with the methods of counting:

The equal protection clause does not allow for one class of ballots (votes) to be processed using one methodology and another class to be processed differently.
The counting scheme for VBM mail-in ballots was materially different from the methodology for absentee ballots; election officials ignored state legislatures and existing state election law and imposed, like mail-in balloting itself, this counting scheme fiat, generally, willy-nilly.
Again, security protocols were simply ignored under the VBM mail-in counting scheme by election boards, County Election Departments, elected officials, and even election workers. And
No chain of custody for the processing of VBM mail-in ballots existed or were in place.

COUNTING PROCEDURES – 2

There appears to be no differentiation between

In-person same-day ballots,
In-person early voting ballots,
Absentee ballots and
VBM (mail-in) ballots.

Each population of ballots should be segregated for recounts and analysis, particularly since there are now questions about the voting machines and their possible manipulation (programming). With respect to the voting machines, like TV footage of the processing and counting at “counting centers,” they should be collected and impounded for recounts and analysis. All Dominion voting machines nation-wide should be analyzed, and their “electronic” results compared to a hand-counted result. Additionally, Dominion Voting Machine’s recording, scanning, and reporting software must be tested by third parties to determine the extent of the pre-programming, and mid-stream adjustments made during the election to determine the fractional manipulation functions (ratios) used (and the changes).

Mishandling of Ballots

Concerning Absentee and VBM mail-in ballots: The mishandling of ballots, the ballots being processed and counted by Election Workers, employees of County Election Departments, and their failing to segregate ballots by class are clearly violations of existing state election law. Absentee Ballots appear to have been intermingled with VBM mail-in balloting in many of these states and locations. Such action by election officials would be in clear violation of existing election law and demonstrate a wanton ignorance of the law. I say this because of how ballots were mishandled, where you can observe stacks of ballots being inserted into stacks of other ballots already at the tables. This is clearly observable in the TV and other video footage of the processing and counting carried out by Election Workers, employees of local County Election Departments.

In addition to this mishandling and illegal processing and counting of ballots, subsequent “recounts” and “audits” by these same workers and officials, again many conducted without partisan observers present, have not been conducted professionally. Recounting the same ballots, intermingled with illegal and legal ballots, yields the same result. Local Election Officials and their respective Elected Officials at the county and state levels know this perfectly well. I repeat myself by saying,

Election Fraud Hall of Fame Counties

Investigators and legal teams should pursue a remedy that includes a court order to conduct recounts based on the criteria cited above, e.g., based on the Absentee Ballot Model. These recounts under this regime, e.g., maintaining security protocols, counting procedures, and proving of ballot chain of custody, should be conducted in the Election Fraud Hall of Fame Counties (there are certainly more):

Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania
Delaware County, Pennsylvania
Allegheny County, Pennsylvania
Wayne County, Michigan
Oakland County, Michigan
Dane County, Wisconsin
Milwaukee County, Wisconsin
Clarke County, Nevada
Maricopa County, Arizona
Fulton County, Georgia
Cobb County, Georgia
Hennepin County, Minnesota
Ramsey County, Minnesota

These counties, their election officials, elected officials, election workers in collusion with the National Socialist Party, their state affiliates, and socialists’ operatives conspired to cheat their own citizens and the nation to steal a Presidential election. They were willing to subvert the greatest institution on earth, the voting franchise, to overthrow our Republic so that they could obtain political power.

Conclusion

Recounts in these counties should be enforced by court order and ordered to follow the Absentee Ballot Model outline in this article. Such actions and orders will change margins dramatically, forcing thousands of illegal ballots to be thrown out. Thousands of illegal ballots will be thrown out, and rightly so because it is supposed to be the states, their elected officials, and the federal court’s responsibility to protect and defend the integrity of the election. Actions to protect and defend means President Trump’s administration, campaign team and legal experts should pursue remedies to protect the field (every voter in the United States), like in golf, from the cheaters and hucksters who would cheat to win. The National Socialist Party should be exposed for their complicity in this criminal scheme to overwhelm the United States’ electoral process and seize power. I would love to see Joe Biden in chains, but that is me.

If this model is followed, Donald J. Trump and Michael R. Pence will win in every state because it will yield legal votes while throwing out the illegally stuffed ballots. The President in his speeches said, and I paraphrase, ‘if VBM mail-in balloting is allowed, it will take days, weeks and perhaps months to determine who won the election.’ Well, his prophecy has come true.

The American people must stand; they must fight on to protect our Republic.

Cheating is not winning it is not democracy.

Fraud is not winning it is not democracy.

Allowing corruption is not winning, it is not democracy.

Subverting election law is not winning, it is not democracy.

Stuffing Ballots is not winning, it is not democracy.

Cheating to win an election,

allowing fraud to define your electoral process,

ignoring the law to allow corruption,

stuffing ballot boxes with illegal ballots is tyranny.

[1] Most recent data samples show in Michigan; the Dominion Voting Machines used fractional manipulation functions to swing the vote from President Trump to Biden. Equal numbers of ballots for each candidate were run through a sample of machines, and with each ballot run through the machines, Biden won each sampling. It was found the machines were rigged using this fractional manipulation function, giving Trump 0.87 for each vote and Bide 1.13 for each vote.

[2] In this writer’s estimation, this was an act of war carried out against the Republic. This attack on our Republic is as serious as any in our history: 9-11, Pearl Harbor, Fort Sumpter, Washington, and the Lexington/Concord. It may prove to be the seminal attack destroying our Republic.
