Kittson County and Roseau County serious ballot errors highlight Voting Machine woes for nation, Keith Ellison fails to apply MN legislative directives

I was suspended. After my 12 hours in "twitter jail" were over the message couldn't have been more clear (or wrong). "Misleading" it blared. "Learn why election experts say there was no widespread election fraud in the 2020 elections." It promised "Find out more" and added "This tweet can't be replied to, shared or liked." So you'll never see it, this mind control. Then the ballot disaster struck--in MINNESOTA, in Kittson and Roseau counties. Hugely ignored by the media, it is now exploding the myth that the voting machines are just alright. They're not. If anything goes wrong in preparing the ballot, as happened in these two critical Minnesota counties, the required automatic registration, voting and counting operation does not worker. Steve Simon, Keith Ellison and Ken Martin don't have a clue how to run a Minnesota election using voting machines. This problem is about to blow open the whole problem raised by Mike Lindell, Donald Trump and Sidney Powell.

My approach to this issue, which I will continue to address until it is resolved, has been to study Minnesota law. I went back in the legislative text until I could see what our Minnesota legislature did as #VotingMachines became available. And the earliest effective date I could find was 1959, and I took a print screen of that and shared it widely. Then a minion of Steve Simon criticized me on Twitter suggested I just created an image and that even if accurate, the Legislature had chosen to change the law beginning in 1984. And I can see there are many changes, but now our law--the same law--reads like this:

"206.80 ELECTRONIC VOTING SYSTEMS.
"(a) An electronic voting system may not be employed unless it:

"(4) automatically rejects...all votes for an office when the number of votes cast on it exceeds the number which the voter is entitled to cast."

So according to our current law, not some ancient wisdom, no such machine may be used anything in any MnSecofState election anywhere unless if you are a voter and you have voted anywhere in that election in Minnesota, if you have already voted whether it be early, mail-in, in another precinct, city, county or state if that machine does not automatically reject that ballot! And now I'm challenging Steve Simon to show me that machine. Steve, where is such a machine. And why have you contracted with Dominion Voting and a bunch of other companies, with taxpayer dollars for machines that violate this law? You know it's messing up a lot of elections.

Twitter has begun locking my account as I continue my Write-In Campaign for MN Sec of State. I've migrated to Truth Social and opened up further discussion on teh issue of #ElectionIntegrity. No word from "tough on crime" Kim Crockett who is just a typical politician, and a lawyer trying to build up her resume. She's just added "election denier" to her resume so she can fundraise from Republicans. I want free and fair elections.

Everyone is totally focused on winning positions in Washington on November 8th. And that is understandable, but it means the issue of Minnesota's--and the nation's--voting machines is being ignored. It's now clear that Steve Simon's campaign against "disinformation" and "harassment" of election workers is not only pollyannaish, it is completely ridiculous deception. The twitter attack began innocently enough. @RStabb from Fulton County PA provided me another link to an article by J Halderman, a computer scientist at the University of Michigan, who is also with CISA, and represents what CISA REALLY thinks about Dominion Voting machines. This report is literally shocking, and yet Simon drifts along concealing the awful truth. Here https://jhalderm.com/pub/papers/antrim-sec22.pdf read for yourself if you want. This has been published AFTER the bombshell June 3 2022 report Simon's sitting on.

As Ken Martin's pet Secretary of State controlling elections in Minnesota, Simon has strained credulity by insisting that any questions about Minnesota's "certification" and contracts with the rogue company relied on by Joe Biden are just a dangerous "attack on democracy." But Halderman's report for Dana Nessel and Jocelyn Benson, two cover-up specialist serving as Attorney General and Sec of State in Michigan literally proves and explains how Antrim County machines literally flipped votes, contrary to what Dominion Voting continues to claim and the Fake News, including Star Tribune, Pioneer Press and Duluth News in Minnesota continuing to publish. Here, look:

On the night of the November 3, 2020, general election, Antrim County, Michigan, published wildly inaccurate results. Totals in the presidential race and other contests were initially
misreported by up to several thousand votes [40], and over the next three weeks, the county restated its results four times to correct this and other errors." This came as a direct result of Dominion Voting macines, which Minnesota's Steve Simon has numerous one-sided contracts with, taking authority away from Minnesota's counties to run elections.

"BELLAIRE, Mich. (AP) — A clerk’s error in a small Republican-leaning northern Michigan county earlier this week led to the reporting of unofficial voting results that favored Democrat Joe Biden, state officials said. Questions were raised after Antrim County, northeast of Traverse City, first reported a local landslide for Biden in his race against Republican incumbent Donald Trump in the presidential election"

Twitter has begun locking my account as I continue my Write-In Campaign for MN Sec of State November 8th; and as I continue to raise the same issue that Amy Klobuchar has raised. She abuses her trust by influencing Twitter and the other big tech media to assist in her own campaigns, and now, for Steve Simon, for Minnesota Secretary of State, to control all the elections of the state.

But Amy told Dominion Voting, ES&S and Hart that “The integrity of our elections is directly tied to the machines we vote on.” An she was saying the right thing, but didn't mean it. But her idea resonated because of our history of Minnesota election laws stretching all the way back to 1959, when the Minnesota State Legislature voted in this law--Sec. 2. [206.02] Municipalities may provide for voting machines.

Twitter full-time censors, as I have won 28% of the Minnesota DFL, Amy Klobuchar and her Big Tech censors change the tune to silence the debate. Now,according to Amy's corrupt friend Twitter, it is a violation of "Civic Integrity" to "post or share content that may suppress participation or mislead people about when, where, or how to participate in a civic process...As a result, we have locked your account." And this has happened mutiple times. In the latest case even before I finished a tweet my account was locked for that unfinished, unposted tweet. This on was about signature validation on mail-in Minnesota ballots which I described below. And I was triggered by an article I saw from The Atlantic written about a former president of Harvard about the fact that two-thirds of a college class she taught could neither read nor right cursive script. I'll quote. This is from an article written by Drew Gilpin Faust a former president of @Harvard, for @theatlantic:

“It was a good book, the student told the 14 others in the undergraduate seminar I was teaching, and it included a number of excellent illustrations, such as photographs of relevant Civil War manuscripts. But, he continued, those weren’t very helpful to him, because of course he couldn’t read cursive. Had I heard him correctly? Who else can’t read cursive? I asked the class. The answer: about two-thirds. And who can’t write it? Even more. What did they do about signatures? They had invented them by combining vestiges of whatever cursive instruction they may have had with creative squiggles and flourishes. Amused by my astonishment, the students offered reflections about the place—or absence—of handwriting in their lives. In my ignorance, I became their pupil as well as a kind of historical artifact.”

What President Faust did not ask was the impact of this illiteracy, in a COLLEGE, undergraduate class on the signature requirement for #ElectionIntegrity in mass mail-in voting. It is not unsafe for you to consider whether @mnstevesimon has destroyed the integrity of voting by passing this rule, https://www.revisor.mn.gov/rules/8210.2450/ which abolishes the need for actual signatures.

But to return to Twitter's objections to my discussion of voting machines...So for me to bring up the same issues dear to Minnesotans as Amy Klobuchar does is a violation of "civic integrity" because she and her buddy Dominion Voting, and Steve Simon, her choice for Minnesota Secretary of State love these machines!! But as Secretary of State it is my duty, my oath of office, to ensure that any voting machine we use meets the reqirements of Minnesota election law. As I show here, Dominion Voting machines clearly does not. And their ImageCast machine is the only election machine CISA has ever examined! And they are the experts. All the machines to be used in Minnesota must be subject to this same level of analysis, which is the heart of any forensic analysis. As our forerunners required, we must know what the machine does and it must accurately count all the votes in a way we understand so we can see the truth. And no private company can block us from this. Amy said she wanted "innovations". But we don't want innovations, we want good old simplicity and truth.

As the New Third grows in Minnesota, Klobuchar manipulates her role in the U.S. Senate--gained through gender quotas putting DFL women in the drivers seat, virtually unassailable in any contested nomination with a man--to quash discussion of this serious problem which our State Legislature historically as I show below has taken very seriously.

Klobuchar wrote in a letter to Dominion Voting and others used in Minnesota, that elections in the U.S.remain "under serious threat" from "known vulnerabilities" in the machine and others. The senators included Klobuchar — who was running for president against Donald Trump at the time. She was quoted in TechCrunch.com TechCrunch is an American online newspaper focusing on high tech and startup companies. And they wrote about these shaky new tech companies controlling our elections in Minnesota and throughout the nation. And internationally. Quoting now

https://techcrunch.com/2019/03/27/senators-security-voting-machines/?guc...

"Four senior senators have called on the largest U.S. voting machine makers to explain why they continue to sell devices with “known vulnerabilities,” ahead of upcoming critical elections.

"The letter, sent Wednesday [March 27, 2019], calls on election equipment makers ES&S, Dominion Voting and Hart InterCivic to explain why they continue to sell decades-old machines, which the senators say contain security flaws that could undermine the results of elections if exploited.

“The integrity of our elections is directly tied to the machines we vote on,” said the letter sent by Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Mark Warner (D-VA), Jack Reed (D-RI) and Gary Peters (D-MI), the most senior Democrats on the Rules, Intelligence, Armed Services and Homeland Security committees, respectively. “Despite shouldering such a massive responsibility, there has been a lack of meaningful innovation in the election vendor industry and our democracy is paying the price,” the letter adds.

Their primary concern is that the three companies have more than 90 percent of the U.S. election equipment market share but their voting machines lack paper ballots or auditability, making it impossible to know if a vote was accurately counted in the event of a bug.

Yet, these are the same devices tens of millions of voters will use in the upcoming 2020 presidential election.

Spokespeople for ES&S and Dominion said their companies will respond to the letter they received. Hart InterCivic did not return a request for comment.

The senators, including Klobuchar — who is running for president — said the elections remain “under serious threat.”

Minnesota Statutes 1959

ARTICLE VII

VOTING. MACHINES

Sec. 2. [206.02] Municipalities may provide for voting machines. The governing body of any municipality, at any regular meeting thereof or at any special meeting called for that purpose, may provide for the use of voting machines in any one or more precincts thereof, at all elections to be held therein. No such machine shall be adopted or used unless it be so constructed and operated as to insure the secrecy of each vote, and automatically register and count all vote's given, and to conceal the number of votes for each candidate, and upon each proposition from the opening of the polls to the closing thereof.

Sec. 3. [206.03] May use experimental machines.
The governing body of any municipality may provide for the experimental use of voting machines in one or more precincts, without formal adoption, thereof; and the use of voting machines at such election shall be as valid for all purposes as if the machines had been permanently adopted.

When the governing body of any municipality shall determine to use such machines, it shall, at a regular or special meeting held not less than 30 days before the election, prescribe suitable rules and instructions, not inconsistent with the provisions of this article, for using the same, submit the same to the attorney general for his approval, and, when approved by him, a printed copy of such rules and instructions
shall be posted in a prominent place in the polling place, and remain open to inspection by the voters throughout the election days.

Once again, I got a lot of support in a statewide campaign in Minnesota using Twitter and my website.

Here's the 1982 version, it still keeps the same requirements:

Subd. 2. [AUTOMATIC TABULATING EQUIPMENT.] "Automatic tabulating equipment" includes apparatus necessary to automatically examine and count votes designated on ballot cards, and data processing machines which can be used for counting ballots and tabulating results.

So Max, let's get back to being honest here. The case
@kimcrockettsos
was talking about was about this rule: https://revisor.mn.gov/rules/8210.2450/ and it says for disabled or even non-English speaking people there is a very loose and dangerous system of getting their "signatures" on mail-in 1/
2/ ballots. Crockett's concerns if she was an articulate enough candidate to express them, are very valid and are hardly "disqualifying" as the slick politician
@MNSteveSimon
claims. Look at this: there is "only [one] circumstance under which a ballot may be rejected on the basis 3/ of signature." And that is "if the name signed is clearly a different name than the name of the voter as printed on the signature envelope." And what this overbroad protection of
@kenmartin73
and
@mnstevesimon
does is create a loophole for fraud broad enough drive a truck 4/ through. Now, to accommodate non-English and disabled voters, ANY voter can send in a mail-in ballot without the verification needed to know the sender is the qualified voter on the ballot. Because they sender does not need to sign it and say they are the eligible voter. This 5/ broad, loose procedure that
@mnstevesimon
and
@kenmartin73
dreamed up is not necessary. The ballot could easily be equipped with a line for a signer for another voter to sign themselves, saying, I am signing for this person because they can't sign for themselves. So instead 6/ this rule uses MnStat645.44 subd. 14 which only requires "a signature of the person's name or a mark made by another and adopted for all purposes of signature by the person with a motor disability and affixed in the person's presence. The signature of a person on a document 7/ that will be filed with a court." So this is what
@kimcrockettsos
is complaining about, referring to a
@MNCourts
ruling from the MNSupCt. It's not clear that it is consistent with our election laws, since it's derived not from the #mnleg as the Constitution requires but from 8/
@mnstevesimon
. And he has no right to disqualify anybody. Look at how his rule, designed to help qualified non-English or disabled voters, messes up a system of voting (not court-filing, an election station is not a court). "A signature is considered the voter's even if a 9/ voter uses a signature mark on either or both documents, or if a voter has another individual or different individuals sign the voter's name in their presence on either or both the application and the signature envelope." The problem is that as an election judge we do not know 10/ when we see an "X" (a signature mark), whether that is really from a disabled or non-English speaking people, and when we get a handful of such ballots and if they are fraudulent (which we can't tell) they offset legal votes and that legal voter loses his or her Constitution 11/ right to vote. So I believe the
@sahanjournal
should agree that just to protect the right of immigrant eligible voters, the mail-in ballot needs a place for a signer to aver, under penalty of perjury that they ARE signing for that voter with authorization and that if they are 12/ found NOT to have had that authorization they may be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
