HAND COUNT PAPER BALLOTS.WIN

    On August 5th, 2022, we decided to put our research in the legal record of the Polk County District Court of Iowa. Upon reading the claims of Tore Maras in her affidavit submitted on a Wisconsin Case, E.D. Wis., 2:20-cv-01771, we decided to further investigate the voting systems in the State of Iowa and found that her claims were true for our state as well. That proper EAC certifications and accreditations had in fact lapsed for the voting machine systems in our state. You can find the approved voting machines systems for the state of Iowa here, and what is in use in each county here.

    We combined and cross referenced this to the corresponding EAC documents and created this table, noting the many instances where the paperwork didn’t check out. In fact, some counties are using voting machines with software whose firmware can’t even be found as certified by the EAC. This coupled with Tore Mara’s claims of likely vote manipulation in the encryption process that are yet to be disputed by anyone made it clear that our elections have and are in fact subject to probable fraud. Using this knowledge, we filed our petition seeking temporary injunctive relief to preserve the data for the Election of 2020, and to use hand counted paper ballots in our upcoming 2022 Elections until the Secretary of State’s office could prove our claims to be wrong. We argued our case in a court hearing on August 26th 2022.

    The nature of injunctive petitions are ones in which a burden of irreparable harm requires a judge to intervene in the meantime while things are sorted out. You can read more about them here. While we found our research to be accurate, we found our lack of court experience and the nature of how we filed needed to be improved. Because of this we did not respond to the motion to dismiss, and the petition has been dismissed by the judge. We don’t fail we learn, and so we are continuing to compile facts and evidence to support our claims with an improved legal strategy to ensure we have elections in Iowa we can trust.

    We are not lawyers, in fact most lawyers even in agreement with us would likely not take cases like ours. They fear disbarment for legitimate work and it is a real threat given programs like Project 65, which lobbies the Bar Association to target lawyers working on these sorts of completely legitimate lawsuits. For this reason, we applied our right as citizens to file pro se. With that comes the disclaimer that we are not lawyers, we cannot offer legal advice, we hope however, to share the truth we find along the way of our journey, and encourage others to express their civil rights as well.
