Readers!

 

The time has come for my annual short Thanksgiving/Christmas fund drive for Behind The Black. I must do this every year in order to make sure I have earned enough money to pay my bills.

 

For this two-week campaign, I am offering a special deal to encourage donations. Donations of $200 will get a free autographed copy of the new paperback edition of Genesis: The Story of Apollo 8, while donations of $250 will get a free autographed copy of the new hardback edition. If you desire a copy, make sure you provide me your address with your donation.

 

As I noted in July, the support of my readers through the years has given me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.

 

In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.

 

Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.

 

Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:

 

1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.

Has there been a wave of fraudulent election ballots swamping PA? Let’s find out!

What does the newly discovered election fraud in PA tell us?
What does the newly discovered election
fraud in PA tell us?

In the past week there have been a bunch of stories in the conservative press from three different counties in Pennsylvania, suggesting that each county has been swamped with thousands of fraudulent ballots, produced in bulk and then delivered in large numbers so as to make it difficult to trace or investigate them.

I decided to take a closer look, because this story could either be telling us how corrupt the upcoming election will be, or it might actually be telling us that it is going to be much more reliable than we have anticipated.

The three counties involved are Lancaster, York, and Monroe. All told, less than six thousand voter registration applications, all submitted apparently in bulk by a Arizona-based company called Field+Media Corps, were under review, the number from each county being 2,500, 3,087, and 30 respectively. Note that these do not appear to be actual ballots, but registration forms that would once approved would allow the individual to vote, either by mail or in person.

Of these applications, the reviews have already produced results. For example, York County has found that of the 3,087 submitted, 47% were verified and approved, 29% needed more information, and 24% were declined and are under further review. In Monroe County the investigation has apparently only flagged these 30 forms, with one coming from a deceased person and others flagged for different reasons that in the end might be legitimate.

In Lancaster County officials have not yet issued a report. Initially it announced:

When reviewing the personal information, identification and signatures listed on the forms, election officials found inaccurate information, signatures that did not match the one they had for the voter on file, and forms seemingly completed by the same individual with the same handwriting.

The application forms were completed by paid canvassers, as part of a “large-scale canvassing operation” dating back to June, District Attorney Heather Adams told reporters on Friday. She added that at least two other counties may have received fraudulent registration applications, too.

It is important to note that numerous outside organizations from both sides of the political aisle have been canvasing Pennsylvania to register voters and then get them to submit ballots. This is not illegal, it is simply the new campaign tactic from both parties to “harvest votes.” In the past the Democrats did it aggressively, while the Republicans did not. Now both parties are doing it, and in fact it appears the Republicans are doing it better.

This particular story suggests the Republicans might also be doing it more correctly, or with less fraud. That company, Field+Media Corps, is a subsidiary of Fieldcorps, another Arizona-based company, which appears to be heavily linked to a number of leftwing players.

FieldCorps is linked to and has taken money from Future Freedoms and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Committee on Political Education. Future Freedoms is connected to a host of left-wing political entities, including the America Votes Action Fund, the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, the League of Conservation Voters, and Forward Majority Action.

SEIU’s leftwing alliances are well known. So are the obvious Democratic Party goals of the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee. The America Votes Action Fund meanwhile is a leftist super-PAC which states on its webpage that its goal is to fight the “radical Republican movement.” Similarly, the website for Forward Majority Action states it follows “an aggressive strategy to secure critical footholds of power for Democrats.” Finally, the League of Conservative Voters claims its focus is to protect the environment, but it reveals its political bias in its list of candidates it wishes to defeat, almost all of which are Republicans.

The modern Democratic Party

Based on the reports from these three counties, the work of vote harvesting by Field+Media Corps, now clearly linked to the Democratic Party, has been sloppy at best, fraudulent at worst. And if the latter, this story has the potential of proving beyond a shadow of a doubt Trump’s claim that the Democrats tampered with the 2020 vote to steal the election.

But is this good or bad news for the 2024 election? Unfortunately, there is no way to know. While the diligence of these the three counties is encouraging, all three are generally rural and likely lean Republican. It is quite likely that Field+Media Corps did most of its vote harvesting in the urban cities like Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, where the Democrats are strong and where that party’s election officials — based now on ample data — will have little interest in fixing fraudulent or incorrect applications. If anything, it now appears they will celebrate such fraud with glee.

In the end, the only way we will know what is going to happen is by looking at the final count. Right now it continues to look like the turnout from Republicans is so high it will overwhelm any fraud that might be coming from Democrats. Keep your fingers crossed.

Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 

The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

  • It appears that Pennsylvania with go to Harris now. There will probably be more people voting in Philly and Pittsburg by a large enough margin than the estimated number of people over the age of 18 that it will appear fraudulent. Just like in 2020 where some districts had 110-120% votes over the number of registered voters.

    BTW, nothing will happen to the perpetrators but Kamala will dictate that the FBI jail all deniers.

  • Jeff Wright

    That’s coal country–they voted for Biden last time and were shocked how he went with the Greens–this state should be solidly Trump now.

  • Clark

    “It appears that Pennsylvania with go to Harris now.”

    I wouldn’t be so sure of that. We’re on to the b******s now, and with any luck the GOP is ready to vigorously any fraud.

    And if the latter, this story has the potential of proving beyond a shadow of a doubt Trump’s claim that the Democrats tampered with the 2020 vote to steal the election.

    We already know from a 2021 TIME Magazine article bragging and gleefully celebrating that TIME and other news media had done their part to rig the 2020 election on behalf of the Democrat Party.

  • Edward: No, a news article is not evidence. An act of fraud that is documented with evidence and can be directly attributed to an entity or person and that has been referred to prosecutors is a very different thing.

    I live in Texas. In 2012 (Obama vs Romney) I stumbled onto a website belonging to a woman in Austin. She was notifying her consulting clients that she would be unavailable for several weeks, because she was going to Ohio to vote. She was proud of it, and talked about how she was meeting a bunch of other people there for the same purpose. I tried to get someone… anyone to investigate and prosecute. Their attitude back then was that it was “only one person”, so not a big deal. We have no way of knowing whether these incidents are isolated or just the tip of an iceberg, because the system(s) aren’t robust enough to catch widespread cheating if it is happening.

    I also learned that in Texas, the Attorney General cannot investigate/prosecute election fraud without being invited in by a local DA. I know that sounds far-fetched, but it is true. Soros and his cronies have played the long game. They created something called the Secretary of State Project, and poured tens of millions of dollars into SecState races, because they control so much of the election processes, and people generally weren’t paying attention to SecState races. When they got the penetration they wanted there, he/they moved on to pouring tens of millions into local DA elections. So first you have a corrupt SecState pervert the election process, and then you have a corrupt DA who refuses to investigate and prosecute. It’s a perfectly closed system

    Are they cheating? See if you can figure out a reason why people from another state would pour millions of dollars into local DA races. Intuitively, you know they want to achieve SOME goal. The politicians and media keep screaming that there is no proof of cheating… but they refused to investigate. When people did indepedent investigations, DA’s and judges kept it out of court. “No proof” isn’t the same thing as no crime.

    Harris will be installed and Deagle 2025 will commence. Smart folks will get through this.

  • pzatchok

    Voting out of state has been a problem for more then 20 years.

    Anyone who owns land in more than one state could possibly lie and vote in both states.

    Since we can track every single credit and debit card in the world second by second I say we could attach our SSN to our vote and instantly track those during voting to see if some one else is using our number to vote or if someone is voting twice or if a non citizen is voting.

    Say what you want about using our SSN to track (when and not what) our vote but its already used for everything to track everything about us.

  • Joe

    As a Lancaster country resident, seeing this play out is ridiculous. There are people being refused ballots for reasons against the PA constitution. The response? “Oh well. That happens.”

    The concept of mail in ballots is a noble one but the only way to really vote is to show up at your polling place with ID in hand.

  • Edward

    Robert,
    TIME and the other news media did nothing fraudulent. They just made sure that the reporting was biased and unfair. Democracy dies in darkness, and they were making sure that the light pointed only in the direction they wanted us to go, not the direction we would have chosen.

    We already know that at least 15% of votes for Biden would have not gone to him had those voters known the truth about his son, but we don’t know how many of those would have gone to Trump instead. There were other truths withheld and falsehoods supported to bias the voting, rigging the election for Biden.

  • Jeff Wright

    To Scott,

    It didn’t help that Mitt Romney was a blue blood who never did an honest days work in his life.

    These chamber-of-commerce types need to be kicked to the curb.

  • “TIME and the other news media did nothing fraudulent. They just made sure that the reporting was biased and unfair. ”

    Isn’t that the definition of FRAUD?

    “Jounalists” skewing their reporting and entire story line to accommodate THEIR Leftist political agenda.

    That looks, sounds and smells like fraud to me.

    It actually looks, sounds and smells like political and journalistic treason to me.
