Dominion at the center of “secret report” on alleged voting system vulnerabilities roils Georgia ahead of midterm elections
The Washington Examiner reports that a Georgia judge may release a “secret report” on voting irregularities concerning voting equipment.
A “secret report” on alleged vulnerabilities in Georgia’s voting equipment is sowing distrust ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, a top state official warned Thursday.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican official who has vehemently defended the integrity of the 2020 election in the face of fraud claims by former President Donald Trump and his allies, noted a connection between a high-profile Democrat and fresh doubts being cast on the security of Dominion Voting Systems machines by Alex Halderman, a computer science professor at the University of Michigan.
“The ‘secret report’ referenced by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution today is not an objective, academic study by a non-biased actor. It is assertions by an individual who is paid to espouse opinions supporting the elimination of electronic voting systems to help a lawsuit brought by liberal activists, including one funded by Stacey Abrams’ Fair Fight Action,” Raffensperger’s office said in a statement.
The Washington Examiner reached out to Fair Fight Action, a group that says it is focused on fighting voter suppression, for comment. Abrams, a Democrat who is waging another campaign for governor of Georgia in 2022, is well known for her refusal to concede the 2018 Georgia governor’s election.
The media report in question talks about Halderman, who is described as an expert for plaintiffs in a long-running lawsuit seeking to get Georgia to ditch electronic voting machines in favor of hand-marked paper ballots, being granted access to Dominion voting equipment in Fulton County for 12 weeks and producing a 25,000-word “secret report” that has been filed under seal. Halderman found that malicious software could be installed in voting touchscreens to alter QR codes printed on ballots that are then scanned to record votes, or a hacker could wreak havoc by gaining access to election management system computers, according to court records.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that the Georgia secretary of state’s office, a defendant in the court case, had not asked to see Halderman’s findings, which U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg so far had only allowed attorneys and expert witnesses to access, and security experts raised concerns about the risk for the elections this year.

Man threatened to “f*** up” police funerals in disturbing video – just days before a second officer’s ceremony at St. Patrick’s
Britian’s Daily Mail points our attention to a video created by Black Lives Matter leader Terrell Harper as he laughs at a policeman’s funeral and promises to “f*** up” the next police funeral.
A New York City activist who was previously filmed making racist comments about an Asian NYPD officer said he ‘can’t wait’ for another cop to die so he can ‘f*** up’ their funeral, days before the shaken city will pay tribute to the second of two officers killed during a domestic violence call last week.
Terrell Harper, 39, uploaded video of his tirade to a private Instagram account, @Relly_Rebel, on Saturday, a day after of sea of police officials flooded the streets around St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Midtown for the funeral of Jason Rivera, 22. The rookie officer was shot and killed on January 21.
‘That’d have been a wet dream to f*** that funeral up, bro,’ Harper said in the video, which has been circulated on social media.
Rivera’s partner Wilbert Mora, 27, was in critical condition after the shooting and died on Tuesday.
‘I can’t wait. I’m looking for the next cop funeral. I’m gonna f*** it up, bro. I’m gonna f*** that s**t up. That’ll make news ASAP,’ Harper said in the since-deleted video.
The New York Police Department told DailyMail.com it was ‘looking into’ the videos.
Harper was sued by Det. Vincent Cheung last year after he called the 16-year NYPD veteran a ‘godd*** cat eater’ and asked if ‘he can see right’ during a demonstration last year.
On Saturday’s video, Harper laughed as he laid out tentative plans to disrupt a future NYPD funeral.
‘I’m f****** their next funeral up,’ Harper said. ‘You n***** better not die no time soon because I’m gonna f*** your funeral up. Son, that’s going to be my new threat to them.
‘I can’t wait for one of y’all to die so I can f*** your funeral up, n****,’ he added.
Harper has three prior arrests, according to the New York Post.
On December 8, 2020, he was charged with making terroristic threats and menacing in the third degree.

If the New York District Attorney has vowed to not prosecute crimes short of murder, what will “looking into” this produce?
We all know how Democrats have let the fire-setters, window-breakers, and looters of Black Lives Matter riots have been let go without as much as a fine or a few nights in jail. Don’t expect this guy to be an exception.
Additionally, just think what might happen if this script were switched.

Michigan high school student sues school for suspending him for privately talking about his Christian beliefs
The Epoch Times reports that a Michigan high school student has sued his high school for suspending him for talking about his Christian beliefs.
A Plainwell, Michigan, high school junior has gone to federal court to fight for his right to talk about his religion.
The case arose when Plainwell High School student David Stout was suspended for three days for expressing his Christian beliefs and opinions in a private conversation with a like-minded student on school property and in private text messages outside of school with friends.
In his conversations and text messages, Stout put forth the biblical teaching of the love of God through Christ for sinners and expressed his own love for his peers. He shared the Judeo-Christian doctrine that homosexual conduct was a sin and that God created only two biological genders—man and woman.
Before being suspended, Stout alleges he was asked by a faculty member why he had not “self-reported” his sharing of his religious and political beliefs with fellow students to school officials.
Stout also alleges he was told that talking about religious or political beliefs was not allowed anywhere on campus for fear of hurting someone’s feelings. He alleges the faculty member told him that he must stop all religious conversations with other students because, if overheard, they might feel offended and unsafe.
Stout said the whole thing seemed to him to be a one-sided method to shame, intimidate, and silence conservatives and Christians.
The superintendent of Plainwell Public Schools did not respond to a request for comment.
The complaint, which was filed Jan. 27 in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Michigan, states that the school’s principal and assistant principal allegedly explained to Stout that it was a student’s responsibility, not only to stop hurtful comments and behaviors, but to preempt such conduct.
Stout said that the administrators warned him that anything he did or said in school, outside of school, or on social media could negatively affect his future employment prospects—a statement that Stout alleges was a threat.
On Oct. 25, 2021, Stout’s parents received notice that their son had been suspended.
David’s father, David Stout, Sr., stated, “We have always taught our son to be respectful of everyone’s opinion and to be polite to others…(He) is entitled to properly express his faith and beliefs without being disciplined and suspended by Plainwell schools. We trust the court will uphold David’s constitutional rights and his school record will be cleared.”
The Stouts’ attorney, David Kallman of the Great Lakes Justice Center, said, “David was suspended for three days last fall for stating his Christian beliefs in a private text conversation and in a hallway at school. He is also being punished for not policing and reporting the inappropriate jokes of fellow students. He was instructed to stop posting his religious comments on all his social media platforms, and was disciplined for the offensive behavior of some other students; something he was unaware of and did not participate in.

As with the previous article, what would happen if this story were switched to another group?
What if a right-wing school threw a BLM-supporting kid out for talking about Marxism? Would the journalistic world come unglued? Would Dementia Joe and his teleprompter get set up in front of that school?

Senate Democrats eye stricter rules for objecting to certifying presidential election results
The Washington Times tells us that the Senate Democrats want to tighten the rules for certifying presidential election results.
Legislation unveiled Tuesday by three Senate Democrats would overhaul a 135-year-old law that many believe inadvertently spurred the Jan. 6, 2021, attack of the U.S. Capitol.
The lawmakers say that changing the Electoral Count Act of 1887 (ECA) is needed to prevent a constitutional crisis the next time Congress meets to certify a presidential election. The proposal would make it harder for lawmakers to object to certifying a state election and would clarify the role of the vice president in the counting of Electoral College votes.
“Experts across the political spectrum agree that the Electoral Count Act of 1887 needs to be updated to reflect the current realities and threats facing the United States and our election process,” said the senators.
Authoring the proposal are Sen. Angus King, an independent from Maine, and two Democratic committee chairs: Judiciary Chairman Richard J. Durbin of Illinois and Rules Chairwoman Amy Klobuchar.
For months, the senators have been discussing how to rewrite the ECA’s guidelines for counting and certifying Electoral College votes after a presidential election. Democrats and Republicans say the law has to be updated to remove ambiguity regarding the role of the vice president.
Under the law, the vice president presides over the Electoral College certification process. Exactly what that means was widely debated in the aftermath of the hotly contested 2020 election.
Former President Donald Trump and his allies argued that the vice president could reject electors from states with “irregularities” about how the election was run.
Then-Vice President Mike Pence and others took a different view. They said the ECA allowed the vice president only to preside over the count, not adjudicate its legitimacy. In making the argument, many noted that the ECA stipulates that only Electoral College tallies affirmed by governors can be accepted for certification.
The proposal authored by Senate Democrats would clarify the ambiguity by expressly stating the vice president’s role is only to “open electoral vote ballots as required by the Constitution.”
Senate Democrats also propose to increase the number of lawmakers required to object to a state’s presidential electors.

Pelosi Congress claims sovereign immunity in federal court to keep secret 6 January videos and emails
Judicial Watch outlines in a 1 February 2022 press release how San Fran Nan has claimed sovereign immunity to keep the federal videos and emails on the 6 January 2021 riot secret even while Americans are imprisoned for their accused participation in the riot and the January 6 Commission jails those who do not cooperate with its probes.
Judicial Watch announced that it filed an opposition to the U.S. Capitol Police’s (USCP) effort to shut down Judicial Watch’s federal lawsuit for January 6 videos and emails. Through its police department, Congress argues that the videos and emails are not public records, there is no public interest in their release, and that “sovereign immunity” prevents citizens from suing for their release.
Judicial Watch filed a lawsuit under the common law right of access after the Capitol Police refused to provide any records in response to a January 21, 2021, request (Judicial Watch v. United States Capitol Police (No. 1:21-cv-00401)). Judicial Watch asks for:
- Email communications between the U.S. Capitol Police Executive Team and the Capitol Police Board concerning the security of the Capitol on January 6, 2021. The timeframe of this request is from January 1, 2021 through January 10, 2021.
- Email communications of the Capitol Police Board with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Department of Justice, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security concerning the security of the Capitol on January 6, 2021. The timeframe of this request is from January 1, 2021through January 10, 2021.
- All video footage from within the Capitol between 12 pm and 9 pm on January 6, 2021
Congress exempts itself from the Freedom of Information Act. Judicial Watch, therefore, brought its lawsuit under the common law right of access to public records. In opposing the broad assertion of secrecy, Judicial Watch details Supreme Court and other precedent that upholds the public’s right to know what “their government is up to:”
“In ‘the courts of this country’— including the federal courts—the common law bestows upon the public a right of access to public records and documents” … “the Supreme Court was unequivocal in stating that there is a federal common law right of access ‘to inspect and copy public records and documents.’” … “[T]he general rule is that all three branches of government, legislative, executive, and judicial, are subject to the common law right.” The right of access is “a precious common law right . . . that predates the Constitution itself.”
The Court of Appeals for this circuit has recognized that “openness in government has always been thought crucial to ensuring that the people remain in control of their government….” “Neither our elected nor our appointed representatives may abridge the free flow of information simply to protect their own activities from public scrutiny. An official policy of secrecy must be supported by some legitimate justification that serves the interest of the public office.”
“The Pelosi Congress (and its police department) is telling a federal court it is immune from all transparency under law and is trying to hide every second of its January 6 videos and countless emails,” stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “The hypocrisy is rich, as this is the same Congress that is trying to jail witnesses who, citing privileges, object to providing documents to the Pelosi rump January 6 committee.”
In November 2021, Judicial Watch revealed multiple audio, visual and photo records from the DC Metropolitan Police Department about the shooting death of Ashli Babbitt on January 6, 2021, in the U.S. Capitol Building. The records include a cell phone video of the shooting and an audio of a brief police interview of the shooter, Lt. Michael Byrd. In October, Judicial Watch released records, showing that multiple officers claimed they didn’t see a weapon in Babbitt’s hand before Byrd shot her, and that Byrd was visibly distraught afterward. One officer attested that he didn’t hear any verbal commands before Byrd shot Babbitt.

Pelosi obviously must be hiding evidence that would exonerate those accused on 6 January 2021
This seems to push the idea that there is evidence that would exonerate the accused (and those likely wrongly convicted) for acts during the 6 January 2021 riot.
The same measures used to judge the BLM rioters should be applied to the 6 January rioters.
Though a few have been convicted of crimes during the BLM riots over the past 3 years — the greater number [including murderers] have been released. Not one murderer is counted among the 6 January rioters. Not one arcanist is counted among them.
