In the course of the run-up to the 2020 Presidential Election, election processes had been modified to roll out “no excuse mail-in voting.” Some states even went so far as sending ballots to each voter on the voter registration roll. Most of those modifications had been made with out the consent of the state legislatures, as mandated by the US Structure in Article 1, Section 4, Clause 1.
On account of this, the variety of mail-in ballots solid, in line with the US Elections Help Fee, went from 33 million mail-in ballots in 2016 to roughly 65.5 million within the 2020 Election, regardless of warnings from a 2005 bipartisan report from President Jimmy Carter and former US Secretary of State James Baker in 2005 that acknowledged mail-in balloting was “one of many main sources of fraud.”
As talked about within the Heartland Institute report, the narrative within the Mockingbird Media shifted from calling out the risks of no-excuse mail-in ballots previous to 2020 to falling consistent with the concept mail-in balloting was maybe “much more safe than in-person voting” (NY Times, May 2020) and “voting by mail is the surest path to a extra inclusive, extra correct and safer election.” (Times, August 2020)
Final December, the writer of the report, the Heartland Institute, partnered with Rasmussen Stories to conduct a ballot of 1,085 individuals who voted within the 2020 Presidential Election. The outcomes had been stunning. The Gateway Pundit lined this ballot in addition to a few of the warnings issued within the build-up to the 2020 Election.
SHOCKING: New Poll Finds ONE IN FIVE Voters ADMIT to Mail-In Voter Fraud in 2020 Election
The Heartland Institute took the polling outcomes a step additional: they measured “the impact of mail-in poll fraud within the Trump-Biden race for the White Home” by way of their report, titled “Who Really Won the 2020 Election?”
Spoiler Alert: President Trump wins outright in 26 of the 29 situations. If you happen to embody a tie-breaker, Trump wins 27 out of 29.
Earlier than reporting the outcomes of the person assessments of swing-state races based mostly on various ranges of fraud, it’s price acknowledging the outcomes of Heartland’s ballot with Rasmussen that fashioned the idea of their assessments.
In a ballot of 1085 voters within the 2020 Election, 30% responded they voted by mail. Of these:
- 21% of mail-in voters admitted that in 2020 they voted in a state the place they’re “now not a everlasting resident”
- 21% of mail-in voters admitted that they crammed out a poll for a buddy or member of the family
- 17% of mail-in voters mentioned they signed a poll for a buddy or member of the family “with or with out his or her permission”
- 19% of mail-in voters mentioned {that a} buddy of member of the family crammed out their poll, partly or in full, on their behalf
The report’s analysts had been capable of decide that “28.2% of respondents who voted by mail admitted to committing no less than one child of voter fraud”:
After analyzing the uncooked survey knowledge, we had been additionally capable of conclude that 28.2 p.c of respondents
who voted by mail admitted to committing no less than one type of voter fraud. Because of this greater than
one-in-four ballots solid by mail in 2020 had been possible solid fraudulently, and thus shouldn’t have been
counted.
Subsequent, the Heartland analysts took the electoral outcomes and utilized various ranges of mail-in voter fraud to every of the “swing states”, for which the report outlined as Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. They then assessed every state individually based mostly on the next assumptions of fraud ranges:
- 28.2% fraud – President Trump wins AZ, GA, MI, NV, PA, and WI. Trump wins Electoral Faculty 311-227
- 27-14% fraud – identical end result as above. Trump wins Electoral Faculty 311-227
- 13-6% fraud – President Trump wins AZ, GA, PA, and WI. Biden wins MI and NV. Trump wins Electoral Faculty 289-249
- 5-4% fraud – President Trump wins AZ, GA, and WI. Biden wins MI, NV, and PA. Electoral Faculty is a tie at 269-269. This could have triggered a US Home vote with every state’s legislature getting precisely 1 vote for the Presidency. For the reason that Republicans management extra state legislatures, President Trump possible would have gained.
- 3% – President Trump wins AZ and GA. Biden wins MI, NV, PA and WI. Biden wins Electoral Faculty 279-259
- 2-1% – President Trump doesn’t win any states. Biden wins Electoral Faculty 306-232
The report additionally assessed what would occur if the fraud occurred at totally different charges. Whereas the pattern dimension was insignificant, the Rasmussen/Heartland ballot did discover that “Biden voters admitted to committing no less than one type of fraud at a price of 23.2%, and Trump voters self-admitted fraud price was 35.7%.” Even with the adjustment, President Trump would have gained Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. This could have resulted in a 278-260 Electoral Faculty win for President Trump.
A number of “proactive” and “preventative” suggestions had been additionally provided within the report. The “proactive” solutions included updating and verifying registration rolls yearly, requiring identification to vote in individual, encouraging in-person voting, requiring a witness or notary signature on all mail-in ballots, and requiring a sound excuse to request a mail-in poll.
The “preventative” measures recommended had been outlawing poll harvesting, forbidding unattended and unsecured drop packing containers, requiring signature verification for mail-in voting, and maybe the 2 most necessary: establishing state-level businesses to research claims of election legislation violations and passing legal guidelines that impose harsh penalties for individuals who commit voter fraud.
Heartland Institute recommended requiring a notary to validate all poll signatures and went so far as recommending the notaries do it at no cost or supply a program that reimburses notaries for the service.
The report concludes that “even when the extent of fraud proven by our survey (28.2 p.c of all mail-in ballots) considerably overstates the true stage of fraud that occurred, Trump would nonetheless have gained in many of the possible situations, with solely three exceptions.” The authors declare they’ve “no purpose to imagine that [their] survey overstated voter fraud by greater than 25 share factors”.
