In the immediate aftermath of the 2020 election, Donald Trump was adamant that the contest had been “stolen” from him – one way or another. Some believed that the Democrats’ insistence on allowing expanded mail-in voting and absentee balloting created an opportunity for malfeasance.  Others, like Trump-aligned lawyers Sidney Powell and Rudy Giuliani, believed that Dominion Voting Systems was somehow cooking the books in favor of Joe Biden. And while the court system roundly rejected each and every attempt that these two litigators brought forth, there appears to be some sort of movement on the subject this week, and it comes to us from the ongoing audit of the votes in Maricopa County, Arizona. The president of the Arizona State Senate asked the chairman of the Maricopa Board of Supervisors in a letter on Tuesday to address “three serious issues that have arisen in the course of the Senate’s ongoing audit of the returns of the November 3, 2020 general election in Maricopa County. “ Arizona State Senate President Karen Fann identified those three issues in her letter to Maricopa County Supervisors Board Chairman Jack Sellers as:  (1) ongoing non-compliance with legislative subpoenas, deleted data bases (2) chain of custody and ballot organization anomalies, and (3) deleted data bases. Fann certainly means business, and the full text of her letter can be read below. https://www.scribd.com/document/507810783/5-12-21-Letter-to-Maricopa-County-Board#from_embed

On the “official” side of things were folks like Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis – the former of which is now on the receiving end of a defamation lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems that totals well over $1 billion.  This is due to the sort of evidence that Rudy was purporting to bring to the public, in which the former Mayor of New York City believe that the software company had cheated the incumbent President. On the unofficial side stood Sidney Powell – a lawyer who rose to prominence while assisting former national security adviser Michael Flynn, and who has also been slapped with one of Dominion’s defamation suits. In Powell’s case, however, the trouble doesn’t end there. Dominion Voting Systems is suing former Trump attorney Sidney Powell, who baselessly claimed the company’s voting machines were rigged, said in a court filing that Powell’s nonprofit is nothing more than a personal piggy bank, the Associated Press reported. Powell’s organization, Defending the Republic, claimed to donors that it is a legal defense fund to protect the integrity of U.S. elections. But Dominion, which is suing Powell for defamation, is arguing that Powell is using the alleged social welfare organization to pay her own legal fees stemming from her claims about the 2020 presidential election. Powell and other allies of former President Donald Trump said following the election that the company’s voting system helped to steal the election. The company cited remarks Powell made during a radio interview regarding…
