Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick Offers Up To $1M Reward For 'Voter Fraud Whistleblowers And Tipsters'

preview

Joe Biden became President-elect on Saturday, Nov. 7, when he surpassed 270 electoral votes by winning Pennsylvania.“I support President Trump’s efforts to identify voter fraud in the presidential election and his commitment to making sure that every legal vote is counted and every illegal vote is disqualified. President Trump’s pursuit of voter fraud is not only essential to determine the outcome of this election, it is essential to maintain our democracy and restore faith in future elections.”Several have been filed in courts around the country alleging unfair elections and possible voter fraud. So far, no court has confirmed the allegations or made any decision reversing any election results.Lt. Gov.

I’d like to collect your handsome reward for reporting voter fraud. I got a dude in Forty Fort, PA who tried to have his dead mom vote for Trump. I’d like mine in Sheetz gift cards pls. ps. The Cowboys blow.”Hey, Governor Patrick- it’s your counterpart in Pennsylvania.I’d like to collect your handsome reward for reporting voter fraud.I got a dude in Forty Fort, PA who tried to have his dead mom vote for Trump.I’d like mine in Sheetz gift cards pls.ps. The Cowboys blow.— John Fetterman (@JohnFetterman)Lt. Gov. Patrick went on to say in a statement:“The Democrats have no one to blame but themselves for creating suspicion of final vote totals. Not allowing Republican poll watchers to observe the vote count in multiple states, in some cases blocking their view with poster board, last minute changes in election laws in battleground states, ignoring the deadline to vote and accepting ballots for days after the election, ignoring postmarks and signature checks, not verifying that mail-in ballots were being sent to people who were alive or living in the state and voting machines that have been a concern for over a decade all raise serious questions.“This lack of transparency has led many to believe that the final count is not accurate in states where the winner was determined be a very small percentage of the vote.“In Texas we know voter fraud is real. In just the last 60 days, we have had three major arrests on voter fraud including a social worker who was arrested last week for allegedly registering almost 70 developmentally disabled adults to vote without their signature or consent.“In Texas, we also know that it is possible to provide the results of mail-in ballots on Election Day. We counted 970,000 mail-in ballots last Tuesday – a 55% increase over 2018 – and added those results to the in-person voting total before midnight on Election Day. The delays in counting mail-in ballots in other states raises more questions about voter fraud and potential mistakes.“When all legal votes are tallied and all illegal votes are discarded, then America can have a greater level of confidence in the election process.“President Trump is absolutely right to pursue every allegation of voter fraud and irregularities, just as Al Gore did in 2000. Every candidate for public office has this right. My goal is to ensure that, regardless of the outcome, every American has faith in our electoral process and our democracy.”MORE FROM CBSDFW&nbsp;&nbsp;Does cutting the number of ballot drop boxes to one per county in Texas count as a last minute change in election laws?This has all been done before, and very few instances of fraud, if any, have ever been uncovered. Everything of which the governor speaks has been addressed by judges that have thrown out the cases filed by Trump. We’ve known for months this election was going to be different… and extended due to COVID. The reason he is confused by all the different laws is because each state sets its own election laws, and these laws were being tweaked by both parties up until the day of the election. Everyone seems to forget the fact that ballot envelopes are sealed and unidentifiable. If a box of mailed ballots is found, chances are, most of them are democratic ticket voters. So can’t one conclude that a box of ballots found in a ditch was likely thrown there by a Republican?
