An opinion by Shari Lynn Maclay in June 15th’s edition scoffs at John Schneeberger for his stance on Trumpism’s debunked 2020 election lies, illegal strongarm tactics and anti-Constitutional substitutions of Electors. All that and more, aptly named The Big Lie.
Maclay cites a “documentary” which is all the rage amongst the hyperventilating coup supporters. The trailer by itself clearly demonstrates why William Barr, being deposed by Federal investigators, could not resist laughing heartily when the ridiculous “2000 Mules” video production came to mind as he ran down the list of his most prominent b.s. stories of recent times.
Personally, as one who is aware of Ballot Reconciliation to utilize mathematical comparison of ballots assigned, ballots returned, voter rolls, signatures, obituary information, etc., the nationally established typical ratio of ballots with errors of any kind being 1 in about every 1,500 leads me to be thankful that cheap, phony videos are laughed at by a vast majority of Americans.
As for Maclay’s other blown out of proportion “evidence” of widespread, election-reversing fraud, let me point out a thing or two. That lady in a small precinct near Yuma, Arizona cited by Maclay as if a significant fraud went down, accounts of the incident indicate this was likely a rather limited situation. She helped neighbors taking their ballots to a ballot box and may have assisted some on marking their choices. Biden received 1,672,686 votes in AZ to Trumps 1,661,686, an 11,000 spread! Remember the .0008% error rate, adjust your frick’n blinders and commence the crybaby stuff. Your lying Dear Leader lost. Again, since Mrs. Clinton received nearly 3,000,000 more votes than Mr. “40,000 Lies” Trump.

Thank you for posting these links to fact checks. They clearly show that the claims D’Souza made in the “2000 Mules” movie were bogus. One more important fact; he was convicted of election fraud in 2014.
“In 2014, D’Souza pled guilty and was convicted of felony election fraud. He was sentenced in Manhattan federal court to five years of probation, with eight months served in a community confinement center, after pleading guilty to violating the federal campaign election law by making illegal contributions to a United States Senate campaign in the names of others. He was later pardoned by President Trump in 2018.”

Elections matter and so do the manipulations of the vote. Yesterday, Jane Rectenwald from Hillsdale College presented a sobering presentation on voter fraud in Montana and especially here in Ravalli County. It is clear that our elections in Montana were fraudulent and need to be questioned.
She clearly identified irregularities in election vote tabulations here in MT and the failure of some key Republican office holders to step up to their legitimate responsibilities to hold those responsible for illicit activities accountable.
People like our State Senator Theresa Manzella and private citizens such as Jane Rectenwald are few and far between in taking the initiative to address this problem.
Establishment Republicans are similar to Democrats in protecting their own self interests above those of their constituents and the nation.
Americans need to stand up. speak out and show up at the polls while demanding integrity in elections. We cannot leave it up to those who succumb to the lure of thousands of dollars changing hands. We, Montanans, must require voter registration ahead of time, and that means at least 30 days in advance of an election, Identification that can be proven – not electric bills sent to an address and the same ID presented when going to vote. Mail in voting must be stopped as well as the current idea to have citizens vote on their phones. Yeah that will really work won’t it?
The sickness that is attacking the American election system is pervasive and threatens the future viability of a free, democratic, representative, Constitutional Republic.

“It is clear that our elections in Montana were fraudulent and need to be questioned.”
Prove it.

And why is all this “information” exclusive to the Trumplidites? Guess it’s like finding that wedding ring that your cow swallowed.
Gomez says
Right? It’s always some top secret info that the pillow guy or some minor election volunteer in the smallest precinct in the least populated county in North Dakota supposedly ferreted out or something. The thing that they all have in common? They have something they’re trying t sell
.
Bill Stroud says
New Zealand had satellites sending lasers down to Ravalli County voting machines changing votes from T Rump to Biden. It’s true….I read it on the internet.

Gomez – come to the meeting at the Frontier cafe July 15 at noon and see if you can still say what you said above without having shame as to your ignroance? Or are you afraid to show up? the people who come are there to LEARN – are you?
Helen Sabin says
Clark – the info was OPEN to everyone and advertised in the papers and in notices that were sent around. Just because you didn’t hear it that is YOUR fault. Do you belong to any groups that are trying to educate and inform about what is going on in our government and why it is rotten to the core and going against The Constitution? IF not, then come to the Pachyderm meeting next Friday July 15 at NOON and listen and learn. The speaker will be the Ravalli county clerk and record speaking about election integrity. Senator Manzella who is involved in that integrity project should be there as well as Representatives Ron Marshall, Wayne Rusk and David Bedey to give their opinions also. Judge Ed Sperry should also be there so it will be an interesting meeting. The current legislator elect Wayne Rusk will be chairing the meeting and the talk so it will be educational. will you be there? Do you really want to learn about your constitution or not? come help us solve problems rather than just deny, denigrate and dissemble in YOUR thinking. see you there.
Helen Sabin says
The meeting is at the Frontier Cafe in stevensville NOON July 15 Friday. see you there.
Clark P Lee says
Will there be Kool Aid ?
Helen Sabin says
Gomez…If the Republican women or any other group or you organize a group to get Jane Rectenwald to come back and show the research that was done will you come and view it and listen to what she has to say? Further, can YOU dispute the research with that of your own or will YOU just say, I know it is so…with nothing to back you up? Please let me know. I would love to continue this conversation with you and show how YOU don’t NOT know of what you speak. Are you ready to debate and prove to me that there were no anomalies in the Ravalli elections? Wanna bet? OR come next Friday July 15 to the Pachyder meeting in Stevensville, MT to hear the explanation from the clerk and recorder why she took Zuckerbucks of 60K and what she did with that money. Wouldn’t you like to know?And if. you will show up, I will share the research that was presented by Jane Rectenwald at a talk two weeks ago on fraud in Ravalli County. Are you ready to listen? Debate? See you Friday at noon July 15 at the Frontier cafe. Come to their “back room” and ask for me. I will be there.
Gomez says
If you, the pillow guy, Alex Jones or anyone else has proof that there was enough voter fraud to change the outcome of any US election in the last 20 years, including in Ravali County, please, by all means, get all of your evidence together, write it up, and have it peer reviewed and fact checked. That I would read. I have no interest whatsoever to attend a local meeting of insurrection loving, paranoid, ammosexual conspiracy theorists. No thanks.
Have a nice day.
