Election Accuracy Committee ACTION ITEMS 2024
The Election Accuracy Committee lists three action items below to insure our elections are accurate in the State of Maryland. The first action item requests volunteers to assist in culling Maryland's "dirty" voter rolls. This action item is designed to fit in your schedule on your time.
The Second action item concerns the illegal donations (aka money laundering) made to politicians through Act Blue and WinRed. Make sure you are not a victim of this scam. See this article for further explanation: https://www.republicanwomenbc.com/post/maryland-potential-campaign-finance-fraud-and-money-laundering

TO: Republican Women of Baltimore County Members & Associates & Friends
From: Jean Benhoff-Chair Voter Registration & Election Integrity’; Jan. 2024
RE: Volunteers needed to improve the Baltimore County Voter Roll Accuracy
At this most imperative time in Baltimore County & State of Maryland we are less than 45 days until the VOTER ROLLS close and lock down until at least 15 days after the 2024 Presidential Primary Election. The same closing cycle will occur 90 days before the 2024 Presidential Election. We must assure that the Voter Roll is accurate. This is critically vital to a have a clean voter roll and to prevent possible nefarious occurrences. This is a non-partisan activity! And it is the LAW!
​
Our urgent mission is to identify all persons who currently remain on the Baltimore County (BC) Voter Rolls that by election law should not be on the voter rolls before our voter rolls close 90 days ahead on February 14 for the 2024 Primary on May 14. This is a critical, timely and judicious goal to help insure fair, accurate and valid elections in Baltimore County and our State of MD!!
​
Are you ready, willing and able to help save our 2024 Election and ready NOW to volunteer? Your help is critically needed NOW to help our BC Board of Elections (BOE) to identify the needed updates to the Voter Registration List in our County. You will learn and work in a user-friendly software system called EagleAI.
​
HOW: Each volunteer will be trained and guided to search through an assigned, pre-sorted and pre-screened list on the site will only take 2-5 minutes for each registration. You will be creating submissions that will be gathered and submitted to the BC BOE for their review. Ginny and I will be working closely with BC BOE to present our findings through meetings directly at their BOE.
​
WHEN: Work at home, at your own pace and your own time. Currently, Ginny and I are working to upload Baltimore County and all of Maryland voter rolls. We will start hopefully mid-December and continue through to the November 2024 election or sooner if we finish our assigned lists. Ginny will help you when needed and there is live training in the evenings via Zoom. Our goal is to create submissions to the BC Board of Election for corrections/deletions where Maryland law dictates a voter registration is invalid, in error, or duplicated.
​
There is a small, one-time software licensing fee required for each of us who will be licensed for this proprietary software access, this is not a fee for/by the author/owner of the EagleAI program. If you wish to, we can help you easily request a grant to cover your fee.

Thank you in advance, your help is needed and most appreciated. Jean

2000 Mules: Reveals Ballot Harvesting Operation
Election Integrity
Sources
The documentary explains how True the Vote were able to identify over 2,000 ballot traffickers by obtaining 2 petabytes of geofencing cellphone ping data purchased from brokers. Their threshold for identifying a mule was if they visited at least 10 drop boxes and made at least 5 visits to a non-profit organization which showed evidence of functioning as a ballot “stash house”. They then obtained 4 million minutes of drop box video surveillance footage through FOIA requests which showed the traffickers in action. 1hr. 28 min

HOWEVER, CTCL also announced (April 1, 2022) that its “nonpartisan collaborative” will “help local election departments improve operations, develop a set of shared standards and values, and obtain access to best-in-class resources to run successful elections.
The Centers newest initiative is called the US Alliance for Election Excellence. It is a 5 year, $80 million dollar program that is open to every election department in the nation. They have invited all US election departments to be a US Center for Election Excellence.

On Thursday, April 21, the Stanford Cyber Policy Center and the Obama Foundation co-hosted a symposium, “Challenges to Democracy in the Digital Information Realm” on the Stanford campus. The event featured panel discussions from leaders in academia, technology, and policy on ways to defend democracy amid disinformation in a digitized world. In his keynote address, Obama spoke about the threat that disinformation poses to democracy, and potential solutions to combat it.
Some Uses of Grant money:
We implemented a robust voter education and outreach campaign
We utilized paid media such as radio and TV ads, as well as earned media such as newspaper ads and speaking engagements. We believe this effort contributed to record voter participation in this county.

Automatic Voter Registration to replace outdated paper-based registration with secure, modern, electronic systems. Our registration and voting system generally works well, but in the age of computers, modernizing our outdated, paper-based voter registration system is just common sense.
Center for Secure and Modern Elections aligns pro-voter campaigns that modernizes the voting system and works directly with local partners and lawmakers who lead in-state activities.
-
Elevate local voices: That’s why our pro-voter efforts exclusively assist local leaders who want to modernize their elections for the 21st century.
-
Provide support: Whether it’s a rural farmer who needs to get to the capitol to testify before a committee, a citizen who works 2 jobs and needs automatic voter registration to help with their busy schedule, or a hunting license holder who wants to ensure that their voter registration is automatically updated when they fill out government forms.
-
Advance policy changes: We work with community members to identify the right modernization policies for a specific state. Our policy solutions adapt to state needs. It’s important to make sure that eligible voters are automatically added to the rolls. In some states, registration rules need small updates that ensure registration follows voters when they move. In all cases, CSME advances policies that ensure all eligible voters can have their voice heard.

We are social investors who support a more effective democracy by funding free expression and journalism, arts and culture in community, research in areas of media and democracy, and in the success of American cities and towns where the Knight brothers once published newspapers. The Knight brothers believed that a well-informed community could best determine its own true interests and was essential to a well-functioning, representative democracy.

DEMOS
​
Biden has hired this company to overwrite election law.
For the people act Executive Order 14019
All government agencies to develop a plan to get out the vote for the Dems. Third party non government agencies will be hired for voter registration. Who are these organizations (see the groups above). Biden is using federal orders to interfere in “times, places, and means of elections” which is against Federal Law. This will strip states of their ability to run elections. The Foundation for Government Accountability (Naples, FL) is using the Freedom of Information Act to combat this.
​
The corporate plot to upend democracy
We've teamed up with People's Action to uncover how corporate America wants to make inequity a permanent part of American life, and we explain why Biden's Build Back Better plan is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to restore our democracy and rebuild our economy.
​
We are a dynamic think tank that powers the movement for a just, inclusive, multiracial democracy.
We pioneer bold progressive ideas, reinforce them with original research and analysis, and equip grassroots partner organizations to move them into practical reality.
Through cutting-edge policy research, inspiring litigation and deep relationships with grassroots organizations, Demos champions solutions that will create a democracy and economy rooted in racial equity.
We work closely with grassroots organizations across the country to build a movement that enables us not only to win public policy change in our campaigns, but to shift the “narrative”—the very understanding of how progressive change can happen— for the long term.
Why expanding and reforming the Supreme Court can restore legitimacy for this broken, inequitable institution.
How and Why the Federal Agencies Can Register Voters
Maryland Voter Integrity Group Recommends the State Move to Paper Ballots with a Hand Count After Voting Machine Vulnerabilities Exposed by Arizona Audit

The organization seeks support from concerned Marylanders to stamp out fraud and return to free, fair, and transparent elections
​
ROCKVILLE, MD – October 12, 2021 – Maryland Voter Integrity Group announces today that its community has gathered insights and information to call into question that voting machines are not connected to the Internet and therefore cannot be hacked.
In the case of the recent Arizona audit, Sonny Borelli, Retired Marine Gunnery Sergeant and Arizona State Senator for Legislative District 5 and Matt Salmon, Former Congressman and Gubernatorial Candidate in Georgia, raise a number of concerns. Citing cases of deleted files, destroyed evidence, and systems connected to the Internet when officials repeatedly said they would not be, have added to the distrust among voters that the election, and subsequent audit itself in Arizona, were legitimate. Matt Salmon continued to say in a recent interview that in addition to systems being Internet-enabled, no multi-factor authentication or unique passwords were used, which he feels enabled potentially criminal activity.
The recent Maricopa County, AZ Audit Report notes a number of troubling findings, including:
-
57K questionable votes, deleted election files, and suspicious voting machine activity;
-
10,000+ double votes across county lines, as well as votes from deceased voters, voters who are not listed in public records, and those who are identifiable as the same person with two different Voter IDs;
-
Tens of thousands of ballots cast from individuals who had moved prior to the election and could not have physically received their ballots, legally;
-
Proper voter registration law and procedures were not followed, leading to unexplained large purges of registered voters, right after the election, of people who had voted in the election and back dating of registrations, adjustments made to historical voting and voter records, unexplained linking of voter registration affidavits to multiple voters and more;
-
Files were missing from the Election Management System (EMS) Server;
-
Ballot images on the EMS were corrupt or missing;
-
Logs appeared to be intentionally rolled over, and all the data in the database related to the 2020 General Election had been fully cleared;
-
Ballot batches were not always clearly delineated, duplicated ballots were missing the required serial numbers, originals were duplicated more than once, and the Auditors were never provided Chain-of- Custody documentation for the ballots for the time-period prior to the ballot’s movement into the Auditors’ care. This all increased the complexity and difficulty in properly auditing the results; and
-
Several anomalies noted in the ratio of hand-folded ballots, on-demand printed ballots, and an increase in provisional ballot rejections for a mail-in ballot already being cast, which suggests that potentially mail-in ballots were cast on voters’ behalves without their knowledge.
Kim Zetter, a recognized Cybersecurity and National Security journalist, recently added her expertise to clarify if – and specifically how – voting machines are vulnerable to hacking. As Borelli and Salmon mentioned, the conversation has long centered on election machines not being connected to the Internet, a fact that now has been broadly proven to be untrue. If anything, Kim notes, the rising pressure for fast results on election night has led to the use of Internet-enabled systems to capture and transfer voting data via the addition of cellular modems in the machines themselves.
According to Zetter, Election Systems and Software, the creator of the voting machines widely used across the U.S., has said that even if systems are Internet-enabled, they are secure because the modems are one-way, and no one is able to ‘dial in.’ However there has been no testing conducted at the federal level to confirm that this is the case – “ES&S doesn’t have a good track record for implementing security.” In January, 2020, NBC reported that ES&S installed 10,000 modems connecting their voting machines to the Internet.
An NBC report follows graduate engineering students at the University of Michigan. Led by Computer Science Assistant Professor Alex Halderman, they demonstrate just how easy it is to gain access to Internet-enabled election systems. In this same video, Halderman mentioned that “…Internet voting magnifies problems 100-fold…” and in less than 36 hours, his team of graduate students proved just how true that is. Using a ‘shell injection attack,’ a well-known hacker approach, one vulnerability in the DC election system from 2010 allowed them to gain full control of the server and have the ability to change votes.
It is apparent that the significant anomalies that have been uncovered to-date and found to be statistically significant point to large-scale integrity and security issues at all levels of our election systems,” Chair of the Maryland Voter Integrity Group, Robyn Sachs said. “With all that has been found to-date, we strongly recommend that the state of Maryland return to paper ballots with a hand-count to ensure our election integrity is upheld and as the best defense against fraud.”

SIGN THE PETITION TO AUDIT THE VOTE

Maryland Voter Integrity Group Finds Serious Anomalies in Four Maryland Counties
ROCKVILLE, MD – July 27, 2021 – The Maryland Voter Integrity Group announces today that a recent analysis into voter registration records and voting trends over the past decade shows remarkable anomalies in the most recent Presidential Election.
Maryland joins 35 other states in taking a closer look at in the integrity of election systems throughout, including at the county level. Former Army Captain and self-proclaimed #intelpatriot, Seth Keshel, assisted the recent analysis of Maryland county information.
Recent data provided by the Maryland Secretary of State office shows a number of trends from the past three Presidential elections, taking place in 2012, 2016, and 2020. In each of the four Counties of focus, Anne Arundel, Carroll, Frederick, and Harford, certain trends seem to be clear:
-
In all four Counties in the 2012 and 2016 elections, the Democratic vote increase remained marginal, ranging between 1% to 2% overall.
-
In 2020, however, these same metrics showing the Democratic vote increase spiked to between 34-37% in all four of these Counties. This appears to have taken place without any measurable population growth, registration expansion, or vote increase for either party.
These staggering findings highlight the need for a Full Forensic Audit of the 2020 election within these four Maryland Counties, and at the State level.
These incidents of massive inaccuracies in State Election Systems are not limited to Maryland. Investigations are ongoing in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Michigan, and the recent Democratic Mayoral Primary in New York City also demonstrated what significant impacts these anomalies exert.
In the recent New York City Democratic Mayoral Primary, held June 22, the state held its first race to use ranked-choice voting. Initial results showed Eric Adams leading Kathryn Garcia by a razor-thin margin, less than 1 percentage point. Shortly after on 6/29, the New York City Board of Elections released interim results that mistakenly contained 135,000 ‘test’ ballots, which are believed to have dramatically skewed the results. All candidates filed lawsuits seeing the right to review, and corrected tallies actually showed Adams leading Garcia by 14,755 votes as published in the Associated Press.
“The unexplainable spikes in these four Maryland Counties is a call to action to chase down any inaccuracies and potential fraud that are eroding Americans’ confidence in our electoral systems,” Chair of the Maryland Voter Integrity Group, Robyn Sachs stated. “The data we are seeing signals that now is the time to act to preserve the American birthright of free, fair, and transparent elections for all.”
