Fighting Voter Fraud in Virginia
I heard last Thursday about the Friday-Saturday Virginia Election Integrity Summit III about eight miles from my house. Saturday we drove there and found that it was sold out. But they found space for us to attend the morning sessions.
These people are serious. The sessions were detailed. People told about experiencing voter fraud in 2020 and working hard to make last year’s gubernatorial election cleaner. A woman who worked in the Justice Department for 20 years said in the first year of the Obama administration they were told that they would not enforce Section 8 of the Motor Voter Law to clean up voting rolls. 
We made many useful contacts. It’s clear that the grassroots will have take the initiative because the Republican Party is not serious about fighting voter fraud. And people like former Attorney General William Barr have their heads in the sand. My wife experienced this when she had a paid position for Illinois GOP investigating voter fraud. Some of the worst roadblocks came from Republicans who had agreements with Democrats not to investigate rampant voter fraud in Chicago.
Wow Richard – thank you for the story and photos! That’s a packed house. Glad to hear people are not letting the voting mess go un-answered. Like you say, not sure either Party has clean hands – but at least the people are trying to hold others accountable. It’s a big mess on Aisle 5 – no amount of Bounty or Swiffer will clean up the stink. It’s going to be all hands on deck.
It makes me wonder to what extent the Republicans are involved . . .
Richard, I immediately tried to contact the national group but encountered a glitch in getting through to them; when I can get the message through I will ask if they have any summits planned for Northwest Florida, or anywhere in our general area, and I will share whatever information I am able to collect. In the meantime, however, I would greatly appreciate your passing along whatever information you feel might be helpful to us as I know a summit here in the general Pensacola area would almost certainly garner a large crowd and I also know there are a number of people in our original home state of Louisiana who would jump at the chance to get involved in such a cause. Many thanks for alerting us to this organization which I am somewhat embarrassed to have to admit I did not even know existed! Sincerely, Jim
