Archive note. This is a reading copy of what the site published. It is not a finding that those claims are true. Where two numbers on the page disagree, both are kept and flagged in the number ledger.

Fact list

Witnesses

1. Witnesses in past contested elections. The original chart compares how many witnesses each contest put forward, and whether that contest got a hearing.

Navy: evidentiary hearing. Crimson: no evidentiary hearing. Chart sum 557. Headline on the page: 923.

ContestWitnessesCourt or board responseOutcome
FL Presidential 20002Evidentiary hearingRecount / audit

GA Presidential 2020100No evidentiary hearingNo evidentiary hearing
MI Presidential 2020131No evidentiary hearingNo evidentiary hearing
PA Presidential 2020300No evidentiary hearingNo evidentiary hearing

4. Witness testimony accounts for upwards of 90% of evidence in evidentiary hearings.

5. No election contest in American history has had 923 citizens stake their personal freedom on sworn testimony to attest to irregularities and legal issues.

6. When an election lawsuit is dismissed, it is blocked from having an evidentiary hearing, thus preventing the evidence from being presented in a court of law.

7. Georgia did have two recounts that used similar procedures to the original count and did not address the legal issues brought by fact witnesses, nor follow the U.S. Election Assistance Commission guidelines.

Ballot integrity procedures

1. Ballot integrity procedures and laws are part of every modern democracy to ensure election integrity.

2. 89% of European democracies banned absentee voting to resident citizens, while 100% require photo ID for any form of voting to prevent targeted fraud.

3. 37 states in the US altered their absentee/mail-in ballot integrity procedures for the 2020 presidential election.

Original map. Blue: bans absentee ballots for citizens living in the country. Green: allows absentee ballots but requires photo ID. Red: allows absentee ballots. Tan: allows absentee ballots, many but not all cantons require ID. Orange: normally bans absentee ballots, allowed in 2020, still requires photo voter ID.

4. The altered ballot integrity procedures reduced the rate of illegal ballots caught by officials this election.

5. With the same ballot integrity procedures as 2018, swing states would have found upwards of 30× more illegal ballots.

Projected rejections against ballots actually rejected

6. Vice President Biden’s margin of victory in 4 swing states appears to rely on the altered ballot integrity procedures these states enacted for this election.

7. Vice President Biden would not maintain his victory in 2 (possibly 4) swing states if the ballot integrity procedures were the same as 2018.

Archive note. The last column is the two chart series divided. The page’s prose says “upwards of 30×.” Pennsylvania’s margin is 80,000 on this chart and 80,555 on the later Pennsylvania chart.

8. A court in Arizona had two handwriting expert witnesses evaluate the signatures on 100 random absentee ballots.

9. The Republican expert witness found 6% of signatures on the 100 ballots were problematic.

10. The Democrat expert witness found 9% of signatures on the 100 ballots were problematic.

11. Vice President Biden would likely not maintain his victory in Arizona if the ballot integrity procedures had caught the estimated problematic ballots.

Chart values as published: 10,457, 207,000, and 138,000. The 6% and 9% figures are from a sample of 100. The page does not show the step from that sample to these bars.

Irregularities in the official data

The page points to a longer write-up. That page is rebuilt here: Pennsylvania mail-ballot records.

1. According to Pennsylvania’s official database, 161,774 mail-in ballot records were changed between Nov 10 and Dec 16. Of the changes, 116,840 were related to ballot return dates.

Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that any ballots without a postmark should “be presumed to have been mailed by Election Day” unless there was strong evidence to the contrary. The evidence from official records shows that 116,840 mail-in ballots have had changed “Return Date” entries between November 10 and December 16.

Original analyzer screenshot. It says the file was a combination of the earlier dataset and the Dec 16 dataset, so the unique count was divided by 2: 161,754 changed ballots, of which 116,840 were return dates. The surrounding prose says 161,774. The tool reported 6,183,961 lines tested and 323,509 unique records (5.231%).

2. 69,004 ballots were marked “Returned” after November 3.

Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar reported on November 10 that only 10,000 ballots were received after November 3. She again declared only 10,000 to the Supreme Court on November 30, despite her department’s official records.

3. 19,660 ballots were marked “Returned” after November 6, breaking the court ruling.

Pennsylvania Supreme Court allowed ballots to be counted if received by November 6. Ballots received after the 6th were to be rejected. Pennsylvania rejected 7,411 in the 2020 election, as of November 20.

Original screenshot. Filter: Ballot Returned Date greater than 11/6/2020. Result: 3,085,255 lines tested, 19,660 records (0.637%). The caption on the image says those dates fall between November 7 and November 16.

4. Counties allowed new ballots to be filled out after the election. Pennsylvania’s deadline for mail-in applications was October 27, yet new ballots were being filled out and submitted daily. Berks County was filling out and submitting new ballots on November 16.

Archive note. The original stats page skips from fact 4 to fact 6. Fact 5, about the state’s own visualizer hiding post–November 3 ballots, is on the Pennsylvania records page.

6. As laid out in the Texas lawsuit, Pennsylvania’s mail-in ballot anomalies stood at 118,426 affected ballots. The December 16 version, as the site lists it:

  • 161,774 records have alterations. Of these alterations:
    • 116,840 were return-date changes
    • 69,004 were marked “Returned” after Nov 3
    • 19,660 were marked “Returned” after Nov 6
  • 13,450 ballots have been deleted since Nov 10
  • 10,415 return date with no mail date
  • 5,052 applications returned after the ballot was mailed
  • 1,034 applications approved after the application was returned

Totaling: 191,725 mail-in ballots were touched by alterations, illegality, or anomalies according to data.PA.gov. In Pennsylvania’s response to the Texas lawsuit, they did not address the mail-in ballot anomalies.
