In response to Boden letter to the editor and claims of widespread voter fraud
Your letter wasn’t addressed to me, but your questions have a lot to do with our democracy, and moreso with free elections, which I believe Trump won’t stop at anything to tear down, including weakening or poisoning our democracy, or even starting a war to stay in power. So, I’m responding.
It’s a fact that most Republicans believe what Trump says, and I don’t believe anything he says, because he is a proven pathological liar.
Roger Stone, who went to jail for lying to the FBI, one of Trump’s allies that he pardoned, still being loyal to Trump, said North Korean boats delivered ballots through a Maine harbor, as Trump boosts fraud claims.
Of 50-plus cases Trump and his lawyers have tried to prove voting fraud, they’ve only won one, which made no difference in the count; 30 have been dismissed with the rest still pending.
Statement by Boden: Trump had no more chance of winning Georgia than local FDR-era Democrats had of influencing the votes in this area.
The votes have been counted three times in Georgia, and officials in Georgia said it reaffirmed what they already knew: Georgia voters selected Joe Biden to be their next president.
Trump, on a phone call to the Georgia governor, asked him to help subvert (steal) election. Proves his niece was correct when she said Trump has never been where he couldn’t lie, steal, cheat or buy himself out of a problem until now.
Trump and his allies paid the state of Wisconsin $3 million to recount votes in two counties, and Biden gained 72 votes.
You questioned the surveillance camera video in Fulton County, Georgia, after poll watchers were told the counting had ended for the night and sent home. But the counters didn’t leave.
They proceeded to remove suit case after suit case, filled with illegal ballots, from beneath a table for continued counting.
The video showed regular ballot containers on wheels, not suitcases, and both a state investigator and an independent monitor observed counting until it was done for the night, finding no evidence of improper ballots, state and county officials said on Friday.
