Oregon elections director fired after reporting problems

 

SALEM, Ore. — Oregon’s elections director was abruptly fired in a text message by the secretary of state after he pointed out serious issues with the state’s aging and vulnerable technology for running elections.

 

Elections Director Stephen Trout learned in a text message Thursday night - as his department and county elections officials were still counting votes from the Nov. 3 election - that he was out.

 

On Friday, Secretary of State Bev Clarno, a Republican appointed to the position by Democratic Gov. Kate Brown, announced to county clerks and other elections officials in Oregon’s 36 counties that “today is also Steve Trout’s last day with the Agency.”

 

Election officials in the state were stunned.

 

Steve Druckenmiller, the veteran Linn County clerk, said Clarno’s action was “dangerous and so ignorant.”

 

“We are still in the election process right now. We are reconciling, we’re dealing with problems right now as far as your signatures and communicating with voters who didn’t sign the ballots,” Druckenmiller said. “We’re going to have to do recounts, all of these things. She doesn’t understand elections.”

 

Clarno’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

 

Trout, in a letter emailed on Nov. 2 to the Republican and Democratic candidates to replace Clarno, who did not run, described problems with the internet technology side of the secretary of state’s office.

 

He also said federal money had been misspent and that $11.7 million from the federal government must be returned by Dec. 31 because the Legislature did not authorize to “spend a penny” of the funds.

 

This happened even as the Oregon Centralized Voter Registration system is so old that Microsoft no longer supports the Windows Server 2008 system that it operates on.

 

The secretary of state’s office was going to take bids - officially known as request for proposal - in October for a new system, but Clarno paused this project without consulting with the county clerks or Trout, the ousted election director said.

 

Furthermore, Trout said calls by himself and other election officials for third-party verification systems to prevent Oregon from hacking of election systems went unheeded.

Well, Looky Here:

 

MSNBC reportedly lets Jon Meacham go as contributor after not disclosing he was a speechwriter for Biden

 

Presidential historian Jon Meacham was reportedly let go as an MSNBC contributor after he apparently failed to disclose to the network that he was a speechwriter for President-elect Joe Biden, including the victory speech he gave on Saturday night.

 

Sources told The New York Times that Meacham had been "playing a larger role than was previously known" behind the scenes, "both writing drafts of speeches and offering edits on many of Mr. Biden’s big addresses, including one he gave at Gettysburg last month and his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention."

 

Biden campaign press secretary TJ Ducklo told the Times, “President-elect Joe Biden wrote the speech he delivered to the American people on Saturday night” but that "given the significance of the speech, he consulted a number of important, and diverse, voices as part of his writing process, as he often does.”

 

Meacham, who publicly endorsed Biden back in March, has long been a go-to analyst for MSNBC. However, the Times also reported that, according to a network source, Meacham would no longer be a paid contributor going forward but that he would still be welcomed as a guest.

 

But as the Times noted, Meacham did appear on MSNBC following Biden's speech on Saturday without any disclosure that he was heavily involved in the crafting of the president-elect's address.

 

“I’m not the historian that you are, and I don’t have the Pulitzer that you do, but do you concur that is the way we are used to hearing from our presidents?” MSNBC anchor Brian Williams asked.

 

“Absolutely,” Meacham answered.

 

MSNBC did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.

 

CNN ran into a similar issue during the Democratic primaries with its contributor Jennifer Granholm.

 

Granholm was a heavily-featured panelist as the network hosted two nights of primary debates in August 2019. However, Politico reported that the former Michigan governor had helped prep the former vice president ahead of NBC's first round of primary debates in July.

 

CNN did briefly mention Granholm's ties to Biden prior to the debate. Less than an hour before it got underway, host Erin Burnett turned to Granholm to weigh in on Biden's debate prep.

 

"You know him. You helped prepare him. Look, it doesn't matter how old you are, how many times you’ve done this, this is a stressful night for him," Burnett said to Granholm.

 

The second mention took place earlier, nearly two hours ahead of the debate, where Burnett mentioned to the former Democratic governor in passing "you were helping prepare" Biden.

 

“First of all, I think he does have some room for error for humanity, I mean he is like way ahead in the polls, right? But you’re right that this is a fundamental moment for him and I think he gets it,” Granholm said. “I haven’t talked to the team. Of course, I work here at CNN and I didn’t want there to be any conflicts.”

 

CNN did not respond to Fox News' request for comment at the time.

Saw this earlier tonight played on NewsMax, which, btw, I'm liking very much since I switched. They're smacking down the MSM, including FAUX, on a regular basis for their lies.

 

George Stephanopoulos ignores Gov. Kristi Noem as she rattles off examples of voting irregularities

 

George Stephanopoulos — host of ABC News' "This Week" and prominent member of former President Bill Clinton's administration — seemed to ignore or mischaracterize South Dakota Republican Gov. Kristi Noem's examples of voting irregularities in last week's presidential election.

 

What are the details?

 

During Sunday's interview, Stephanopoulos asked Noem if she would work with former Vice President Joe Biden — whom numerous media outlets on Saturday declared the winner of the 2020 election over President Donald Trump — with regard to the coronavirus.

 

Noem's interview came after far-left New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's, in which he urged Republicans to accept Biden's victory and predicted more governors will acknowledge the pandemic's severity once Trump leaves office, Townhall reported.

 

"Well, it is a regional increase that we're seeing. We are testing more," Noem replied. "And, frankly … I'm not going to take advice from Gov. Cuomo. He has the second-worst death rate per 100,000 people in this nation. He's at 173 deaths per 100,000 per capita; South Dakota's at 54."

 

She then noted such questions are "premature" since the election technically isn't over, and legal challenges from the Trump camp appear to be on the way.

 

"We have not finished counting votes," Noem said. "There're states that have not been called, and back in 2000, [Democratic presidential nominee] Al Gore was given his day in court. We should give President Trump his day in court, let the process unfold because, George, we live in a republic. We are a government that gets its power from the consent of the governed. That is the people. They give their consent on Election Day. Election Day needs to be fair, honest, and transparent, and we need to be sure that we had an honest election before we decide who gets to be in the White House the next four years."

 

Stephanopolous rushed in to interrupt while Noem was finishing her sentence, asking if she had any evidence that it wasn't an honest election and adding that he's spoken with Republican officials who gave "zero evidence" of widespread fraud.

 

Besides the fact that voting irregularities in a handful of swing states are at issue as opposed to "widespread fraud," Noem told Stephanopolous his assertions were "absolutely not true" and that "people have signed legal documents, affidavits, stating that they saw illegal activities, and that is why we need to have this conversation in court. The New York Times itself said that there were clerical errors. … In Michigan we had computer glitches that changed Republican votes to Democrat votes. … Dead people voted in Pennsylvania."

 

"So George, I don't know how widespread it is. I don't know if it will change the outcome of the election," she added. "But why is everybody so scared just to have a fair election and find out? We gave Al Gore 37 days to run the process before we decided who was going to be president. Why would we not afford the 70.6 million Americans that voted for Trump the same consideration? If Joe Biden really wants to unify this country, he would wait and make sure we had a fair election."

 

By the end of the interview, despite all the points Noem made, Stephanopoulos wedged in a whopper, saying "It starts with providing evidence; you still have not provided that, but I'm afraid we're out of time today. Gov. Noem, thanks for your time."

 

"Let the process work, and we will," she said.

 

The smack comes down

 

Noem wasn't about to let things go after the interview. She replied to the "This Week" video tweet of her chat with Stephanopoulos — and added a well-deserved zinger when the intrepid poster referred to her state as "North Dakota":

 

"More mischaracterization from ABC," she wrote. "Watch the interview, I gave several specific instances of serious election integrity concerns. Oh, and it's SOUTH Dakota".

My state, a big swing state, should have never been as close as it was. Saw in person that it was going to be a landslide. We did end up in the red but close. And, there is no way to 'track your vote' in my state unless you voted as absentee. Reported that shit once I realized it.

I read an article on here today that in one of the states the poll workers in one or some precincts were even wearing Biden apparel and had stickers available for voters at their desks. And were pushing voting for him.

BO probably put many pardons into place days before Trump took office for crimes committed under his reign. Meaning, these cucks can't be arrested for those crimes. New crimes had to be committed by the cabal to allow for the good guys to be able to arrest them: you've seen them in real time this week. Anyway, it takes time. Other cucks had to roll over on them too. Every single domino has to be in place for the house of dominoes to fall perfectly. Takes time.

Incredibly important, judges and justices needed to be in place before court cases are heard. And military legal system ready for cases (manual rewritten).

In their time, not ours. Patience is/was key for us.

And then, The Sheeple needed to be shown how corrupt their leaders are. And now, we should begin to see things happening fast, I believe.
