More than three dozen GOP congressmen have asked U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr to prove allegations of voter fraud in key swing states the leftist media say tipped Tuesday’s election to “President-elect” Biden.
The right to vote is “sacred,” Friday’s letter says, and that doesn’t just mean having access to a voting booth. It means one’s vote must remain undiluted by vote fraud.
Meanwhile, echoing Representative Matt Gaetz’s comments, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham told Fox’s Maria Bartiromo yesterday that if the GOP doesn’t fight the vote fraud, and permits the election mischief to stand, the party will never win an election again.
Graham’s office received a sworn affidavit from a postal worker in Pennsylvania who says he witnessed the fraud.
The Letter
Noting that Barr’s Justice Department is responsible for the integrity of federal elections, the 39 Republicans wrote that Americans “must have the utmost confidence that the outcome of the presidential election is legitimate.”
But they can’t now, the letter said, because of what happened in the days after November 3:
With widespread reports of irregularities, particularly in the vote counting process, it is time for you to use the resources of the Department to ensure that the process is conducted in a manner that is fully consistent with state and federal law. And, it is also important that the process be completely transparent, so that the American people will have full confidence in the result.
The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division Voting Section’s responsibility is to ensure that the right to vote is sacred. This not only means access to the ballot box, but it also means ensuring that no one’s vote is devalued by any means of voter fraud.
The congressmen noted that U.S. marshals can ensure that judicial orders are obeyed, and asked Barr what he is “doing to ensure the integrity of the voting and counting process right now?”
They asked him to “commit to using all the resources at your disposal to ensure that only legal votes are being counted and being counted in a fully transparent manner.”
“The American people need to have confidence that the outcome of this election is legitimate!!” signer Jim Banks of Indiana tweeted.
No Challenge Now, No Wins Later
Meanwhile, South Carolina’s Graham warned Bartiromo’s Sunday Morning Futures audience that mischief is indeed afoot. “The media doesn’t decide who becomes president,” he reminded viewers. “If they did, you would never have a Republican president forever.”
Then Graham explained that President Trump’s legal team found more than 100 votes from suspected dead people. They verified 15 dead voters, and even found six deceased people who registered and voted.
“In Pennsylvania, I guess you’re never out of it,” Graham quipped.
But then he reprised Gaetz’s remarks to Fox’s Sean Hannity.
“If Republicans don’t challenge and change the U.S. election system, there will never be another Republican president elected again,” Graham said:
President Trump should not concede. We’re down to less — 10,000 votes in Georgia. He’s going to win North Carolina. We have gone from 93,000 votes to less than 20,000 votes in Arizona, where more — more votes to be counted.
A postal worker in Erie, Pennsylvania, claims he saw workers backdating ballots, which Graham wants DOJ and the Post Office to investigate.
“Although, as I understand Pennsylvania law, ballots must be postmarked by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day, November 3, 2020 in Pennsylvania,” postal worker Richard Hopkins says, the postmaster “directed my co-workers and I to pick up ballots after Election Day and provide them to him.”
Continued Hopkins:
[The postmaster] was back-dating the postmarks on the ballots to make it appear as though the ballots had been collected on November 3, 2020 despite them in fact being collected on November 4 and possibly later.
On November 5, 2020 … [the postmaster and another supervisor ] discussed how on November 4, 2020, they had back-dated the postmark on all but one of the ballots collected on November 4, 2020 to make it appear as though the ballots had instead been collected on November 3, 2020.…
Importantly, [the postmaster] and his assistant had ordered my co-workers and I to continue picking up ballots after November 3 despite the requirement that ballots be mailed by then. [The postmaster] directed that ballots be picked up through Friday, November 6, 2020. Moreover, [the postmaster] directed that all ballots picked up through November 6, 2020 were to be given to him, presumably so they could be backdated.
Left unchecked and unpunished, that brazen vote fraud will cement a permanent Democrat majority, Gaetz told Hannity.
“President Trump is not just fighting for his own political fortune here,” he warned. “He’s fighting for the rest of us because if we allow dead people to vote, if we allow people who’ve moved out of their state to vote in that state, if we allow illegal ballots to be counted, and if we allow ballots to be counted without the transparency and observation that the law requires, Republicans will never win another election ever again.”
