Racketeering LAWSUIT Exposing Nationwide Vote Rigging in DNC Primaries Could Derail Clinton

Corte Madera, CA – A major lawsuit is on the precipice of being filed by the Institute for American Democracy and Election Integrity, the implications of which could dramatically alter the landscape of the 2016 U.S. presidential race. The group claims that in about eleven states, there has been noted a significant difference between the exit polls and the electronic vote totals presented on the morning after the primaries. These differences show votes appear to be shifted from Bernie Sanders to Hillary Clinton. The chances of this kind of shift happening are considered to be statistically impossible between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning in these eleven states. See the chart below.




“We are going to be filing a racketeering lawsuit under the Ohio Racketeering law, the strongest in the country and we can bring in every state, our RICO statute is coextensive with the federal RICO statute… So they’re nailed,” said Cliff Arnebeck.

Arnebeck, an election lawyer, got his J.D. from Harvard and is the chair of the Legal Affairs Committee of Common Cause Ohio and a national co-chair and attorney for the Alliance of Democracy. He will be joined by Bob Fitrakis, an election lawyer and political science professor, as co-counsel. Computer security expert Stephen Spoonamore, who worked with Arnebeck on exposing GOP election fraud in Ohio has noted that when exit poll data varies more than 2% from electronic vote totals, the electronic vote totals are questionable. In fact, 2% is the boundary by the US government when determining whether an election in another country has possibly been stolen. Please notice the exit poll differences in the 2016 DNC primaries listed above are significantly more than 2%. These differences point to questionable results for the electronic vote totals and likely electronic vote switching.

“This is not a Republican-Democrat issue, this is not a partisan issue, this is a Democracy issue, if you actually care about a Constitutional democracy in which each person votes, that vote is validated and the people who end up in office are reflected on the basis of the way people voted you care about this issue,” said Spoonamore.

According to the Institute for American Democracy and Election Integrity:

IMPORTANT NOTE: Although we have taken note of the shift here from Sanders to Clinton, we are NOT in any way stating who has done the shifting. WE DO NOT KNOW WHO HAS DONE THE SHIFTING OF THE ELECTRONIC VOTE TOTALS. This situation has galvanized three organizations, The Institute for American Democracy and Election Integrity (ADE) , the Columbus Institute of Contemporary Journalism, and Democracy Counts to set up our own exit polls and audits to track apparent election results in California.

Richard Charnin, a mathematician and statistician and author of the book, Matrix of Deceit, has been reporting on the apparent shifting of electronic vote totals and the non-release of raw data from Edison since 2004. Richard Charnin, well-known for what he calls the “Red Shift” which has been a shift between exit polls and electronic vote total differences of about 4-5% each year. This constitutes a shift to the political right.
Although he is unable to analyze the raw data, he has been able to get screen shots of what the exit polls showed minutes before all of the electronic votes have been totaled since 2004.

In 2004, when Edison Research initially got exit poll data that said that Kerry was winning and Bush was losing at 9pm on election night and that the reverse was true shortly after midnight, Edison Research made a choice to “adjust” the raw data after that time so that it would match the electronic voting machine totals. Edison Research definitely wanted to keep being hired by the Media Consortium which proposes to tell viewers the true election results but which also chooses to trust electronic voting machine data. That was the last time that the American public has been able to see raw exit poll data.

Unfortunately this year, substantial exit poll differences have been noted in the US primary. In this year’s primary, the Red Shift appears to have become the “Clinton Shift”.

Arnebeck was the lead attorney, with Fitrakis as his co-counsel in the King Lincoln Bronzeville v. Blackwell case, which exposed electronic vote rigging in Ohio’s 2004 presidential race. During the lawsuit, a very revealing deposition of Michael Connell, head IT guru for the Bush family and Karl Rove, provided insight into how the election fraud conspiracy operated. According to a report by Truth-out:

Connell served as the IT guru for the Bush family and Karl Rove. Connell ran the private IT firm GovTech that created the controversial system that transferred Ohio’s vote count late on election night 2004 to a partisan Republican server site in Chattanooga, Tennessee owned by SmarTech. That is when the vote shift happened, not predicted by the exit polls, that led to Bush’s unexpected victory. Connell died a month and a half after giving this deposition in a suspicious small plane crash.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/2319:new-court-filing-reveals-how-the-2004-ohio-presidential-election-was-hacked

One can clearly see how deep the rabbit hole goes, as the one person who could implicate the actual individuals responsible for the election fraud conspiracy happens to have an “accident” that kills him. Essentially the investigation could go no further upon the suspicious death of Connell, thus protecting those behind the conspiracy.

JB, this is a BFD.

The credentials of the people filing are outstanding. I have followed their work for years.

Go to the site! There is video and there are some excellent ideas for all of us:

Other things you can do include becoming a poll observer with a modest amount of training. Manipulation of the vote can frequently be minimized when there are people watching the process. Becoming a poll worker is an even bigger step. If you happen to be voting on an electronic voting machine without a paper trail, take a video or snapshot of the screen if you see it was flipped to the opposing candidate or if your candidate of choice fades away on the screen.

I could do that!

Love your positive attitude, Duval.

But right now I'm disgusted at the selling out going on around us.

Do these people seriously believe Hillary is any different than she was a month ago? Does a nice speech that may or may not represent her actual thoughts and feelings somehow erase her entire calamitous, destructive history? If there's a change in her or Bernie's prospects will they come rushing back?

Looks like "Camp Weathervane" can be applied much more broadly.

Mass & Ill.

I called bull on both of those states. Esp Illinois. Chicagoans despise Rahm. Hillary campaigned for Rahm's reelection.
It was all over the news, all over social media. Look at that chart, the numbers were flipped. It was still pretty much a tie, but a tie that should have been in Bernie's favor.

Look at Massachusetts. Look at the difference between the exit polls and the actual votes counted. Remember, Mass had the same probs as AZ, which are the same probs in California.

This whole primary season has been a wake up call.

and it's infuriating. If any state should have gone for Bernie it was this one. It sickens us that our state was flipped. I hope he sues the shit out of them. And let's not forget Bill campaigning for Hillary INSIDE and right outside several polling stations on election day! That's another lawsuit. It's interesting how Bernie never mentions ALL the beyond obvious cheating. And it's also brilliant. I've felt from the beginning part of Bernie's purpose for running to expose everything. Looks like he's given them enough rope...and they're using every bit of it. GO BERNIE GO!!!

6/12/2016 AN UPDATE ON THE LAWSUIT: In the video of the Institute, we mentioned that the election integrity lawsuit would be filed on Monday, June 6th. This has been delayed because of our desire to include election data from California where over 2.6 million votes still need to be counted. http://www.sacbee.com/news/state/california/article82909752.html Following is an exact accounting, county-by-county of the uncounted votes in California. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fE1dOh2IoUIJW_f7bghP_fezmzMRW1LK-LuV9iTtG54/edit#gid=1963066056

At least to the everyday person's understanding, or the PTB that have the responsibility to act...or suppress?

I like the narrative, the confidence and the pressure to bear.

OK, I'll still hope for the truth.

35. "There's no way the Democratic Convention will nominate someone based on obviously stolen votes"
Mon Jul 4, 2016, 04:56 PM
Jul 2016

At 5:49-"Hillary Clinton has been used for the purpose of scuttling Bernie Sanders' campaign for President. She's being used....They've been caught. It's obvious."
...
At 6:14- "The elections are rigged, the evidence is clear. Everybody's going to see it and the game is over."


At 6:56 "People can say anything they want. But the facts are facts, and the facts are coming out, and there's no way the Democratic Convention is going to nominate someone based on obviously stolen votes."

I wish this were true, but I wouldn't bet on it.

"History is written by the victors."
"The fix is in."


I can hope for an outcome like the movie "Z".


Or "All the President's Men."


Pleasant dreams.

Yes, because jokes about the presumptive nominee having people killed via plane crashes are so funny. Especially after Ron Brown and Paul Wellstone. Please hide, thanks.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Jun 13, 2016, 09:36 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.
