- 0:17Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben ferguson.
- 0:20Speaker 3: Good Monday morning. So nice to have you with us
- 0:22Speaker 3: on the forty seven Morning Update. And we've got one
- 0:25Speaker 3: major story for you this morning. Voter fraud.
- 0:28Speaker 4: Is it real? Is it actually happening?
- 0:31Speaker 3: Why are Democrats saying that if you believe that voter
- 0:33Speaker 3: fraud is happening, that you're crazy.
- 0:35Speaker 4: We have the receipts to prove.
- 0:37Speaker 3: That voter fraud is a very real thing in this country,
- 0:40Speaker 3: and even a whistleblower who's sang you'll be shocked exactly
- 0:44Speaker 3: how much voter fraud there could actually be.
- 0:46Speaker 4: It's a forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now.
- 0:50Speaker 2: Story number one, voter fraud.
- 0:53Speaker 3: It is a question that has been brought up a lot,
- 0:56Speaker 3: specifically by President Donald Trump. Democrats will tell you that
- 1:01Speaker 3: voter fraud doesn't happen. If voter fraud really doesn't affect
- 1:04Speaker 3: any elections, and it certainly would have no impact on
- 1:09Speaker 3: a presidential election. Now, there are some actual recent voter
- 1:14Speaker 3: fraud cases and investigations happening right now in the United
- 1:18Speaker 3: States of America, meaning instance, that involved arrests, prosecutions, convictions,
- 1:25Speaker 3: official referrals to prosecutors. That is real. It's important to
- 1:31Speaker 3: understand that this is not some well I heard about
- 1:34Speaker 3: it scenario. This is actual voter fraud. A perfect example
- 1:41Speaker 3: of that is a Michigan petition scandal is continuing to
- 1:45Speaker 3: grow even as there are convictions to individuals have now
- 1:50Speaker 3: been convicted for forging signatures that would be plural in
- 1:55Speaker 3: multiple campaigns in the nominating petition category. Undermining the primary
- 2:02Speaker 3: ballot process is how it was stated in court and
- 2:05Speaker 3: sentencing is scheduled for March of this year. Moved to
- 2:09Speaker 3: Connecticut and you had an absentee ballot scheme that has
- 2:14Speaker 3: now been uncovered. Two defendants there received suspended sentences in
- 2:19Speaker 3: probation for encouraging voters to sign absentee ballot forms improperly
- 2:24Speaker 3: and in one case, filling out ballots on behalf of
- 2:28Speaker 3: voters in a mayoral primary that coming from the Connecticut post.
- 2:33Speaker 3: Moved to Wisconsin and election irregularities. There After the twenty
- 2:38Speaker 3: twenty four election, the clerks there have now referred forty
- 2:43Speaker 3: six instances of suspected fraud or voting irregularities to prosecutors.
- 2:49Speaker 3: These include a small number of possible double votes or
- 2:52Speaker 3: improper registrations that again coming from PBS Wisconsin. Go to Ohio,
- 3:00Speaker 3: where Ohio voter fraud allegations have now been sent all
- 3:02Speaker 3: the way to the Department of Justice. The Ohio Secretary
- 3:06Speaker 3: of State has now referred listened carefully more than a
- 3:11Speaker 3: thousand alleged voter fraud cases to the use Department of Justice.
- 3:16Speaker 3: As to local prosecutors did not act on them, why
- 3:20Speaker 3: because they were in democratic areas. Many involved suspected ineligible
- 3:26Speaker 3: voting or ballot issues that would mean illegal immigrants.
- 3:30Speaker 4: Now, there are numerous.
- 3:32Speaker 3: Local lection officials and watchdog groups that have reported or
- 3:36Speaker 3: helped uncover individual cases such as people deliberately double voting,
- 3:41Speaker 3: non citizens being registered to vote, and voting mail in
- 3:45Speaker 3: ballot tampering. Now, these are trends that seem to be
- 3:49Speaker 3: getting bigger, not smaller. So what does it actually mean.
- 3:54Speaker 3: It means that voter fraud is real and people are
- 3:58Speaker 3: trying to cheat, which brings us to the newest story.
- 4:02Speaker 3: Minnesota lawmaker has now uncovered listen carefully, thousands of voters
- 4:10Speaker 3: on a roll with missing information. Why would that happen?
- 4:16Speaker 3: Kaylee mcinnanny at Fox News Channel on her show had
- 4:20Speaker 3: this to say about exposing it with that law individual.
- 4:24Speaker 3: Let me say that differently, with that elected official who
- 4:29Speaker 3: is now a whistle blower.
- 4:30Speaker 4: Take a listen.
- 4:31Speaker 5: Republican Pam Altendorf is sharing her analysis of the active
- 4:36Speaker 5: voter list in Hennepin County, where she says nearly three
- 4:39Speaker 5: thousand voters have missing information such as names, addresses, and birthdates.
- 4:44Speaker 5: And she's also uncovering potential duplicate voters with matching names
- 4:48Speaker 5: and addresses but a birth date just a few years apart.
- 4:52Speaker 5: Kind of curious. Well, Minnesota State Representative Pam Altendorf joins me, Now, Pam,
- 4:57Speaker 5: tell me what you found on these voter rolls there
- 4:59Speaker 5: in Hennepin County. It's just one county in Minnesota.
- 5:01Speaker 6: Absolutely, So just to give you a little background, I
- 5:04Speaker 6: am the vice chair of the Elections Committee in the
- 5:06Speaker 6: Minnesota State House, and I think it's very public knowledge
- 5:10Speaker 6: that the DOJ was looking for voter rolls across the
- 5:14Speaker 6: country to help clean up our voter roles, which should
- 5:16Speaker 6: be important to everyone, and Minnesota declined to do that.
- 5:21Speaker 6: And after we were being sued, I looked at the
- 5:24Speaker 6: state statute. I've been working with some election in Tigrity groups,
- 5:28Speaker 6: groups like Minnesota Voters Alliance on my own staff, and
- 5:32Speaker 6: the Minnesota state statue is clear is that I have
- 5:36Speaker 6: accessibility to this data. So I did a data request
- 5:39Speaker 6: to four counties and kind of the bigger story is
- 5:42Speaker 6: that Steve Simon, the Secretary of State, is actively working
- 5:46Speaker 6: to deny me citying state representative on the Elections Committee,
- 5:50Speaker 6: the ability to even see the data roles to determine
- 5:55Speaker 6: if they're clean or not.
- 5:57Speaker 5: That's really curious. So why not just give you the
- 6:00Speaker 5: voter roles? I mean, most people, I think if you
- 6:02Speaker 5: ask them, they would want sunlight that is the best disinfected.
- 6:06Speaker 5: You want transparency, And I would just note this. Scott
- 6:09Speaker 5: Pressler pointed out to me the two thousand and eight election,
- 6:11Speaker 5: he noted on this show, they're in Minnesota in your state,
- 6:16Speaker 5: was decided by three hundred and twelve votes. That was
- 6:18Speaker 5: the Senate race. So this matters.
- 6:20Speaker 6: That's right, and we have many races that matter across
- 6:23Speaker 6: the state. But after I did the data, crust of
- 6:26Speaker 6: the four counties, one county did comply. And remember this
- 6:30Speaker 6: is after Steve Simon specifically put out a directive to
- 6:34Speaker 6: all eighty seven counties telling them not to give me
- 6:37Speaker 6: the active voter list. And for whatever reason, Hennepein County,
- 6:42Speaker 6: the biggest county in Minnesota population wise, which represents twenty
- 6:46Speaker 6: percent of our population, did send me the data. And
- 6:50Speaker 6: in that and again I'm just looking at a very
- 6:52Speaker 6: high level of view, there are tons of there's missing information,
- 6:57Speaker 6: there's situations that looks like it might be duplicate voters.
- 7:01Speaker 6: There's a lot of voters over one hundred years old
- 7:03Speaker 6: that were born in nineteen twenty six or earlier. And
- 7:06Speaker 6: the real question is, you know, Republicans and anyone who
- 7:11Speaker 6: just cares about fair elections, why is there such an
- 7:15Speaker 6: effort to block us or any election in takeerty group
- 7:19Speaker 6: to see this information. If they're cleaned, that's great, And
- 7:24Speaker 6: if not, if Steve Simon is unable or unwilling to
- 7:28Speaker 6: clean our voter roles, then we absolutely have to get
- 7:31Speaker 6: federal help because this is disenfranchising every legal voter in Minnesota.
- 7:37Speaker 5: Yeah, it seems like something both parties would take interest
- 7:40Speaker 5: in doing.
- 7:40Speaker 3: Pam altendors, by the way, Killy mcnane, dear friend of mine,
- 7:45Speaker 3: former White Hounce Press secretary and Trump in his first
- 7:49Speaker 3: term in office, when she says the last point there,
- 7:52Speaker 3: it seems like this is something that.
- 7:57Speaker 4: Both parties should care about.
- 8:00Speaker 3: She's making a very clear point there that there's a
- 8:02Speaker 3: reason why both parties don't care about this, and it's
- 8:08Speaker 3: clear what that is. Democrats want to be able to cheat.
- 8:16Speaker 3: Democrats do not want you to even have to show
- 8:19Speaker 3: an ID to vote because it allows for there to
- 8:21Speaker 3: be the ability to want cheat. When you look at
- 8:26Speaker 3: the Democratic Party right now, they are hell bent, I
- 8:32Speaker 3: mean absolutely hell bent on cheating at all costs. They
- 8:40Speaker 3: are hell bent on making sure that whatever it takes,
- 8:43Speaker 3: whatever they have to do to cheat, they will do it.
- 8:48Speaker 3: Whatever they have to do to have an advantage on
- 8:52Speaker 3: election day, they will do it. Whatever they have to
- 8:55Speaker 3: do to find ballots after the fact, they will do it.
- 9:00Speaker 3: So the question that every American should be asking themselves
- 9:02Speaker 3: right now, after the evidence that I just laid out
- 9:05Speaker 3: for you, is is your vote really secure? And the
- 9:10Speaker 3: second question that everyone listening right now should be asking
- 9:13Speaker 3: themselves is why is the Democratic Party so obsessed with
- 9:20Speaker 3: making sure that our elections are not secure? Donald Trump
- 9:25Speaker 3: has answered that question, by the way, He's made it
- 9:28Speaker 3: clear because they want to cheat, because they know that
- 9:34Speaker 3: when there is a non secure election process, they have
- 9:40Speaker 3: the ability to manipulate, to alter and to change the
- 9:46Speaker 3: outcomes of elections.
- 9:48Speaker 4: And if they can do it, they will do it.
