#1

The first drop of water fell from a urinal in an Atlanta bathroom, splashing onto a black concrete floor. It seeped into crevices, into the arena's structure and interstitial spaces, and eventually collected and poured through the ceiling of the room below.

#2

The downpour in the Atlanta arena was a brief squall. The arena's maintenance crew found the source, fixed the urinal, and sopped up the mess. No ballots got wet; no equipment was damaged.

#3

Leah Hoopes, a Republican committeewoman from Bethel Township in Delaware County, was one of the first people to vote in her local polling place. She was there to vote for Donald Trump and the rest of the Republican slate, as well as to serve as a watchdog.

#4

Sheself-identified as a patriot, and she saw Trump as a powerful messenger for those like her, who felt America slipping away from greatness.

#5

For many years, America had been the hope of the world for immigrants. But under liberal persecution and mainstream media assaults, Trump had withstood to restore the unabashed, righteous, and proud image of America that he and many others loved.

#6

The Democrats in charge of the local government in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, were not just fellow citizens with competing views. They were subversives who could not be trusted to run a fair election.

#7

Some problems were immediately evident. The voting machines that were sent to Delco from Hart InterCivic were new and untested. They had been designed for votes to be cast on an electronic slate, but out of continued worry about vote-switching, they had been redesigned to accommodate a paper ballot.

#8

There were many complaints and problems with the voting machines and polling stations across the country, many of which went unnoticed or were brushed aside.

#9

Election day in Antrim County, Michigan, began with coffee for Sheryl Guy. She poured it from the old Bunn coffeepot into her teal-colored mug. Then she placed a lid on the mug, because you never know what might go wrong.

#10

Guy had posted unofficially results that showed Biden winning by about 3,200 votes. But when she and her staff total up votes directly from the official tape, the results show Trump winning.

#11

Some voters were confused about the difference between duplicate and rejected ballots, and why their spoiled ballots weren’t counted as rejected.

#12

Stone began to notice a pattern in her findings. Out of the 454,633 ballots she was analyzing, only 20 were listed as rejected. This seemed like too few. She wondered how it was that more people hadn’t made mistakes on their first try.

#13

There are two styles of voter fraud: those who tried to sneak phony votes into the ballot box, and those who sent thugs into polling places to beat up any voter not holding the right-colored ballot.

#14

There is evidence of both types of voter fraud in American history. In the first, illegal voters, usually minorities, would try to vote for candidates they were told would help them. In the second, legitimate votes would get suppressed by politicians who were worried about outsiders stealing their election.

#15

Despite Democrats saying there is no evidence of vote fraud, a report released in 2005 by Democrat John Conyers of the House Judiciary Committee claimed otherwise, and accused then-Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell of using his position to purge voter rolls of minority citizens who hadn’t voted recently.

#16

In Pennsylvania, Stenstrom was a fraud expert who had been deployed by the PA Watchdogs. He had predicted exactly what was going to happen: the Trump administration would be losing by 1 million votes.

#17

In Pennsylvania, the newly elected Democratic officials found that the previous Republican council had neglected to budget money for no-excuse mail voting, which allowed many people to vote by mail.

#18

To cope with the mail ballots, the county purchased BlueCrest sorting machines, which automated the process. The ballots were still enclosed in the blank inner envelopes when they were delivered to a third machine, which opened them and removed the ballot.
