If the United States’ 2020 presidential election had been that of a foreign government, the United States’ state department standards would rate it fraudulent.

America has been rapidly sliding down the scale to the level of Banana Republic as the Deep State gained control of the governmental levers during the Obama administration, which former President Obama claimed had no wrongdoing, basically transformed America.

California-based software engineer and data analyst Mark Chatham wrote for Revolver on Nov. 10 that in observing the elections of other nations, the U.S. uses a number of major themes to document and describe fraud:

• Independent observers (poll watchers) are removed or limited.

• Reports of widespread procedural irregularities. These include suspicious activities at polls and suspicious timing or behavior of vote-counting.

• Deviations in the very procedure each side uses for voting.

• A media which is firmly in one side’s camp, and a restriction of the availability of information for the other side. We often see attempts to restrict the other side from communicating.

• Statistical anomalies in the results which the (fraudulently) elected government and its media simply ignore.

Chatham noted. “In truth, we are dangerously close to becoming a corrupt tin-pot country, the likes of which we are all too used to lecturing on democracy”

That should explain why President Trump is challenging the results of the Nov. 3 major mainstream media manipulated election of which the MSM and other left-wingers urge citizens to just accept their word for it - Biden won and the “orange man” they hate lost.

In their thinking Democrat Joe Biden won, so just shut up about it.

The trouble with the left’s scheme is that more than half of Americans believe the election was rigged.

An article in The Independent about Ukraine’s parliamentary elections in 2012 criticizes the government for a “non-transparent” vote tally: Hundreds of Ukrainians protested alleged fraud in last month’s parliamentary election and the opposition threatened to boycott the new parliament and call for a re-vote. Western observers deemed the Oct. 28 parliamentary election unfair, saying the imprisonment of President Viktor Yanukovych’s archfoe, Yulia Tymoshenko, and non-transparent vote tallying were a step back for democracy.

“It is plainly obvious that, when talking about foreign elections, western media considers transparency of voting and vote-counting procedures to be of the utmost significance,” Chatham noted.

Based on those standards, shouldn’t ejecting opposition observers, as was done in Philadelphia on Nov. 4, be considered a form of fraud?

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, a member of President Trump’s legal team, said on Fox TV while being interviewed by business specialist Lou Dobbs that at least 650,0000 ballots were counted unlawfully in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, alone and almost none was observed by a Republican poll watcher.

“What’s being said in the mass media, that we have no evidence, is a complete, absolute lie, just like they’ve been lying for years,” Giuliani said.

Giuliani said that the lawsuits being filed by the Trump campaign might reveal up to 900,000 invalid ballots cast across the entire state of Pennsylvania.

Chatham cited irregularities in Michigan, Wisconsin and other battleground states that could flip the election to a win for President Trump.

Chatham also observed:

“Analysts of Russian elections have spent a lot of time developing statistical models to detect the extent of fraud. These analyses often involve looking at bizarre turnout statistics or even things like unusual number patterns,” Chatham noted.

While the major media refused to do its job, independent media and Internet sleuths did the work of digging into the data. And they uncovered some fascinating things.

Among the most damning analyses for this election comes from Twitter user Shylock Holmes, who alleges the following:

“-During the late night vote tabulations which occurred in Milwaukee, Democrats wildly outperformed.

“-Rather than Trump losing votes to both Democrats and third-party candidates late at night, the average difference in each dump between Trump and the third-party candidates, compared to the election day counts, averaged zero. In other words, Dems outperformed Trump and all third party candidates, while Trump’s performance with respect to the third party candidate did not vary from election day to the late dumps.

“-Meanwhile, this seemed only to hold true for races which were competitive, e.g. the Presidential race, but did not seem to apply to various Congressional races where the Dem candidate was going to win comfortably.

“-Critically, the Dem over-performance seems to vary with the net significance of any particular vote, at that time.

“-In other words, this is entirely consistent with the hypothesis that, realizing they were losing, Democrat operatives filled out fake ballots in a hurry and didn’t bother voting on less contested races.”

“This is a powerful line of reasoning which should be investigated further. If this holds up to peer review, it is likely the strongest statistical evidence yet that something was profoundly unusual about the ballots counted during the early hours” of Nov. 4, Chatham noted.

“It strongly appears that, during the middle of the night, the ballots counted all of a sudden just happened to favor Democrats much more dramatically than before.”

State judges in strongly Democrat states are likely to attempt to stonewall efforts to get this election corrected, but it may end up in the Supreme Court, anyway. It’s what needs to happen if the United States is to continue as a constitutional democracy.
