Reader submitted comment. Original article by Other audits are likely in Georgia, New Hampshire, and Wisconsin. But is there something else that has been overlooked in the frenzy to investigate or suppress (depending on one’s political persuasions) claims of “election irregularities” during the 2020 election? Retired senior DoD analyst Ray Blehar has examined an underreported election story pertaining to write-in and minor party ballots/votes. His investigation has resulted in some startling conclusions and a working theory: that Biden’s margin of victory in several key states could have been provided by shifting write-in and minor party ballots through ballot adjudication.
Let us examine his statistical analysis and conclusions in more detail. First, a definition of terms:
Write-in ballots. These are ballots marked by voters who choose to vote for a candidate other than those listed on the printed ballots.
Minor party ballots. These are ballots marked for candidates of minor parties who were qualified to be on the election slate, such as the Libertarian Party, the Green Party, and the Constitution Party. Approved minor party candidates will vary by state, depending on qualification requirements.
WIMP. This is an acronym that stands for the sum of write-in and minor party ballots in a given state.
Adjudication. This is a manual process by which the “intent of the individual voter” is determined when a given ballot cannot be determined by automated tabulation devices. Adjudicated ballots are typically write-in ballots, mismarked ballots (double votes), misaligned ballots, and other categories. Note: it is also possible to program voting machines in order to recognize a “straight party” ballot as misaligned and automatically sending it to the manual adjudication process. Adjudication is really where the vote shifting happens, particularly if the election officials in a given precinct are all from one political party and/or vote shifting malware has “infected” tabulation devices.
I have previously summarized his analyses of WIMP votes in Pennsylvania here and in Wisconsin here. Blehar’s findings from his Pennsylvania analysis include the following:
- The total number of WIMP votes in Pennsylvania declined by ~113,000 votes from 2016 to 2020. This is highly unlikely given the massive number of mail-in ballots cast in 2020 compared to previous elections.
- Only 453 write-in votes were received by mail-in ballot out of 2.6 million mail-in ballots cast. This is an improbably low number given that Howie Hawkins, the Green Party write-in presidential candidate, received ~34,000 fewer votes by mail-in than down-ballot Green Party average. Note that a similar situation occurred with Jill Stein in 2016 in Pennsylvania, causing her to refer to the Keystone State’s election system as a “national disgrace.”
- Jo Jorgenson, the Libertarian candidate for president, received ~20,000 votes fewer by mail-in than down-ballot Libertarian candidates. This is a highly unlikely circumstance and a historical anomaly that strongly suggests vote shifting took place.
- Vote-switching analysis determined that ~64,000 absentee ballot votes were taken from Trump and switched to Biden through the adjudication process, while ~30,000 Trump Election Day and absentee votes were directly shifted to Biden.
Blehar believes the following happened:
- Conclusion #1: The total adjudication manipulation resulted in Biden winning the state by ~80,500 votes, but in reality, President Trump actually won Pennsylvania by over 186,000 votes.
- Conclusion #2: Biden’s margin of victory could have only been obtained through adjudication manipulation.
About the Author
I know in my heart that President Trump won the 2020 election. I will never accept Biden as the president.
“A small group of elites gathered behind fences and razor wire whom installed an illegitimate leader. They are guarded by 10,000 soldiers with machine guns in a closed capital city.
A trial of an opposition leader not in a court but in a political body controlled by the regime in power. There was no judge in charge of the proceedings, a regime politician will served as judge and juror. The stated goal of the proceeding was to insure that the opposition leader is not elected to a position of power.
A state media labels the opposition leader a threat to the republic and his followers as insurrectionists who will need to be deprogrammed.
The leader makes daily appearances before the cameras to sign his proclamations. No debates, no legislation, no questions, only the signature of the leader on his orders.
The leader’s troops round up so-called insurrectionists and jail them with no release keeping them isolated after destroying their homes.”
This is what despotism looks like.
There once was a man
in the Land of the Free
who wanted to rule
across land, over sea.
His first name was Joe,
his last name was Biden.
Ol’ Joe spent his time
in a dark basement, hidin’.
He never came out
except with a mask;
he’d run right back down
if questions were asked.
Uncle Joe, as they called him,
came up with a plan
to win an election
and govern the land.
He had to beat Donald,
the president, Trump,
who’d otherwise kick
Uncle Joe in the rump.
He said: “I’ll just tell them
that mean Mr. Trump
supports neo-Nazis.
They’ll think he’s a chump.”
So Uncle Joe summoned
the loyal Fake News
to cook up the lies
his campaign would use.
Though people believed them,
it wasn’t enough.
Uncle Joe realized
he’d need stronger stuff.
Just then, a pandemic
made everyone sick.
Here was Joe’s chance
for a new kind of trick.
Joe told the people
That voting was risky
(though they were just fine
buying ganja or whiskey).
“I demand vote-by-mail!”
he declared from his den,
“Or else we shall die!
(And Trump’s gonna win.)”
An army of lawyers
fought for the change
that Biden commanded
and courts did arrange.
Sure enough, in the voting
Trump did all right;
He looked to be winning
on E-lection Night.
But in came the mail!
And just as Trump feared
his lead in the vote
had soon disappeared.
Biden had done it!
He’d come from behind.
A scheme that poor Donald
would never unwind.
The moment that Trump
began asking questions,
they shut him right up!
Joe taught him a lesson.
Once in the White House,
Uncle Joe signed some orders.
He called some world leaders;
he opened the borders.
He canceled a pipeline
that Trump had allowed.
The workers were angry;
Joe’s donors were proud.
He gave out vaccines
And claimed all the credit.
The journ-O-lists ignored
a lie, when he said it.
But Joe’s hopes for power
ran into a bump:
so many people
still missed Donald Trump.
The old president
had cause to feel bitter:
they censored his Facebook;
they kicked him off Twitter.
But Trump was enjoying
his Florida home.
Inside Mar-a-Lago
he wasn’t alone.
His fans lined the streets
to see him drive by;
they cheered and waved flags
for their favorite guy.
Nothing could shake them,
despite “insurrection”;
and all “MAGA nation”
professed its affection.
So Uncle Joe plotted
to get back at Trump.
The new “cancel culture”
gave license to dump.
He called his advisers
and said, “I’ve no use
for fun-loving authors
like this ‘Dr. Seuss.’
“Cancel the stories
that people enjoy;
shun those who say
that a girl’s not a boy.
“Everything’s racist!
That’s what we’ll say.
Neanderthal Trumpsters
will soon go away.”
So the book-burning started
on bonfires piled high.
Joe followed his plan
to make Trump say goodbye.
But millions of people
whether white, brown, or black
had seen quite enough
and began to push back.
“Dr. Seuss is a legend!
We love Hop on Pop.
Uncle Joe’s lost his mind;
‘cancel culture’ must stop.”
Uncle Joe had imagined
he’d win, going woke.
But Trump is still laughing,
and Biden’s the joke.
Love it!
Not bad.
I like ’em short and sweet:
There once Was A Man Named Joe Biden
His Cognitive Skills Were A Slidin’.
When He Opened His Mouth,
His Numbers Went South
So Now In His Basement He’s Hidin’.
