Republicans sue California Governor Gavin Newsom, claim his vote-by-mail order is “illegal power grab”

By CBS.com, May 26, 2020

Republican groups are suing California Governor Gavin Newsom, claiming his recent executive order to mail every registered voter in the state a ballot ahead of the November election is an “illegal power grab” that redesigns the election system.

The lawsuit alleges Newsom’s order is “less about protecting the health of Californians and more about protecting the electoral prospects of the Governor’s political party.”

The Republican National Party, the National Republican Congressional Committee and the California Republican Party are listed as plaintiffs in the lawsuit, which was filed Sunday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California.

“In a direct usurpation of the legislature’s authority, Governor Newsom issued an executive order purporting to rewrite the entire election code for the November 2020 election cycle,” read the complaint. “This brazen power grab was not authorized by state law and violates both the Elections Clause and Electors Clause of the U.S. Constitution.”

The lawsuit contends that the U.S. Constitution reserves for “state legislatures the power to set the time, place and manner of holding elections for Congress and the President.” It further argues that state executive officers like Newsom “have no authority to unilaterally exercise that power.”

RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said Democrats are using “this pandemic as a ploy to implement their partisan election agenda, and Governor Gavin Newsom’s executive order is the latest direct assault on the integrity of our elections.”

Republicans also pointed out that California has moved into Phase 2 of its reopening plan and Newsom himself said recently that Phase 3, which would allow hair salons, churches and professional sports to reopen, could happen as early as June. The GOP says Newsom did not clarify how his executive order will be “justified in light of such progress” in California.

This is the DEMS best shot at unseating Trump and DEMS are wasting no time in getting this done. Biden has no chance of winning the general.

W.Va. secretary of state says task force
uncovered absentee ballot fraud scheme

By WHSV newsroom |

BTW, Jim Justice is the Republica Governor of West Virginia – does he dislike Trump?

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WHSV) — West Virginia’s secretary of state says they’re investigating an absentee ballot fraud scheme in the state that was connected to the state’s mass effort for absentee voting amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the start of April, West Virginia county clerk’s offices began an effort to mail absentee ballots to every registered voter in the state.

West Virginia Secretary of State Mac Warner announced the plan at the end of March.

Essentially, every voter registered in the state was sent an absentee ballot application to their registered address.

State leaders encouraged all voters to fill out the applications and submit them to their county clerk in order to receive an absentee ballot for the election, and then mark the ballot according to state instructions by election day. And voters responded, with about 18% of West Virginia’s registered voters requesting absentee ballots for the June 9 primary election.

Now, on May 21, Secretary of State Mac Warner announced that his office had investigated a ballot fraud scheme and referred their findings to the United States Attorney for prosecution.

According to Warner, allegations of the scheme were referred to and investigated by the WV Election Fraud Task Force, which is a multi-agency law enforcement effort that was formed in April as a way to deter potential voter and election fraud with upcoming elections. Investigators responded to a complaint quickly, and Warner said the absentee ballot fraud scheme was uncovered early and will have no impact on the outcomes of any elections.

(LOL)

However, West Virginia law prevents Warner from disclosing any facts or details of the investigation.

(Why is that?)

In late April, as voters began preparing for the state’s elections, Attorney General Patrick Morrisey issued an alert to voters to be wary of potential voter fraud schemes, largely connected to the “ability of fraudsters to steal or manipulate absentee ballots now that more people will use a mail-in, absentee ballot due to social distancing measures.”

Warner said an increase in absentee ballots comes with a natural increase in opportunities for fraud.

“Our primary strategy is to deter and prevent election fraud from taking place. I prefer compliance with the law over criminal convictions,” Warner said. “But those who try to meddle with our elections will be held accountable. That is certainly the case with the allegations presented today to the U.S. Attorney.”

His Investigations Division operates an Election Fraud Tip Line where citizens can call in complaints of possible election fraud and illegal activity 24 hours a day. The anonymous toll-free number is 1-877-FRAUD-WV.

(LOL! Good luck with that. It’s not as though they openly advertise fraud, atleast not just yet.)

“Even the slightest allegation of fraud can reduce public confidence in the process and the outcome of our election. We won’t allow that to happen,” said Warner. “Complaints will be investigated and those who commit fraud will be held accountable.”

“The Election Fraud Task Force is primed and ready to respond to any allegation of impropriety surrounding the election,” Warner said. “If citizens see something that doesn’t seem right, please call our tip line at 1-877-FRAUD-WV.”

Currently, West Virginians have four ways to vote in the June primaries. This includes being able to vote in person at the polls. County employees say it is still important to vote during the pandemic, no matter what method you choose.

Do a search for “Ballot Box 13”. It details the “missing” ballots that propelled LBJ to the Senate back in the day.

The majority of the ballots had names found on headstones in the local cemetery in McAllen, TX.

From all appearances, the fix is already in. Why and how else would Newsom and his minions have worked out all the details of so massive a project?

The NAACP got hoodwinked by a white girl passing for black yet still thinks voter ID is a bad idea?
