The RINO-led Lincoln Project has announced it plans to run an advertising campaign against two law firms due to their work representing President Donald Trump and the Republican Party in their suits alleging voter fraud in the 2020 election.
On Twitter this week, the anti-Trump group run by Republican ex-Washington insiders called on people to find employees of Jones Day and Porter Wright Morris & Arthur through their social media accounts and “ask them how they can work for an organization trying to overturn the will of the American people.”
The group also suggested it would pressure current clients to drop the firm. By day’s end on Tuesday, Porter Wright had deleted its Twitter account, which had been barraged by negative comments.
Jones Day responded that it is not representing the president, his campaign, “or any affiliated party in any litigation alleging voter fraud,” but the Pennsylvania GOP, in litigation brought by private parties and the state’s Democratic Party. That litigation resulted in the order that extended the deadline for returning mail-in ballots that was set by Pennsylvania state lawmakers.
In its reporting on the Lincoln Project’s pressure campaign, the AP closed with the emphatic statement: “There is no evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 election.” The talking point is repeated verbatim by every major news outlet and always with the qualifier “widespread.”
It used to be that mainstream news outlets would deny there was evidence of “voter fraud”; now they make sure to say it’s only “widespread” voter fraud there is supposedly no evidence of, an acknowledgement that voter fraud does, in fact, occur.
Of course, the wordplay is simply another way for the media to play with the truth. “Widespread” is a term whose meaning is open to debate. In how many places does voter fraud have to happen to qualify as “widespread?” Five precincts? Ten? An entire state? Ten states?
The truth is that fraud does not have to be “widespread” for it to make an impact on a presidential election, particularly one which depends on only a handful of swing states. The 2020 race, for example, could have been swung to Joe Biden’s favor by only a few key Democrat-controlled precincts in swing states such as Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia.
As OpenSecrets.com has noted, the Lincoln Project “has come under scrutiny for funneling money to its advisory board members [while] spending relatively little [money] airing political ads to influence voters.” It added: “The group also hides some of its vendors by stealthily paying subcontractors, making it difficult to follow the money.” A spokesman for the National Republican Senatorial Campaign (NRSC) called the Lincoln Project a “scam PAC” and accused its founders of “lining their own pockets” with its supporters’ contributions.
The Lincoln Project has been in talks to relaunch as an all-out media company churning out film, books, series, and documentaries.
While the group claims to be “conservative,” its tactics of intimidation resemble those of the Left, as expressed in recent days by public figures such as Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), who has called for lists of Trump supporters to be kept so that they can be blacklisted in the future.
Despite the Left’s constant disparagement of anyone who points to the suspicious nature and statistical anomalies of Joe Biden’s supposed lead, Americans are increasingly skeptical of the media. According to a YouGov/The Economist poll, 86 percent of Trump voters say Biden “did not legitimately win the election.” Furthermore, per the poll, 89 percent of Trump voters think he should contest the outcome of the election in court, and 62 percent of his voters think it will change the outcome.
On Wednesday, Georgia’s secretary of state announced that there will be a manual recount of the election there, which could possibly reverse the current Biden lead in the state.
And on Thursday, a Pennsylvania judge ruled in favor of the Trump campaign ordering that the state may not count ballots where the voters needed to provide proof of identification and failed to do so by November 9 — determining that ballots which had previously been set aside under guidance from the Pennsylvania Secretary of State should not be counted.
Democrats exploded in celebration when the media proclaimed Joe Biden the winner over the weekend, but their revelry may soon be cut short.
