Is it actually happening? 10 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,520 Speaker 3: Why are Democrats saying that if you believe that voter 11 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 3: fraud is happening, that you're crazy. 12 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,880 Speaker 4: We have the receipts to prove. 13 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 3: That voter fraud is a very real thing in this country, 14 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 3: and even a whistleblower who's sang you'll be shocked exactly 15 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 3: how much voter fraud there could actually be. 16 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 4: It's a forty seven Morning Update and it starts right now. 17 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 2: Story number one, voter fraud. 18 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 3: It is a question that has been brought up a lot, 19 00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 3: specifically by President Donald Trump. Democrats will tell you that 20 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,639 Speaker 3: voter fraud doesn't happen. If voter fraud really doesn't affect 21 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 3: any elections, and it certainly would have no impact on 22 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 3: a presidential election. Now, there are some actual recent voter 23 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 3: fraud cases and investigations happening right now in the United 24 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:25,199 Speaker 3: States of America, meaning instance, that involved arrests, prosecutions, convictions, 25 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 3: official referrals to prosecutors. That is real. It's important to 26 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,839 Speaker 3: understand that this is not some well I heard about 27 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 3: it scenario. This is actual voter fraud. A perfect example 28 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 3: of that is a Michigan petition scandal is continuing to 29 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 3: grow even as there are convictions to individuals have now 30 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 3: been convicted for forging signatures that would be plural in 31 00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 3: multiple campaigns in the nominating petition category. Undermining the primary 32 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 3: ballot process is how it was stated in court and 33 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 3: sentencing is scheduled for March of this year. Moved to 34 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 3: Connecticut and you had an absentee ballot scheme that has 35 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 3: now been uncovered. Two defendants there received suspended sentences in 36 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 3: probation for encouraging voters to sign absentee ballot forms improperly 37 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 3: and in one case, filling out ballots on behalf of 38 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 3: voters in a mayoral primary that coming from the Connecticut post. 39 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 3: Moved to Wisconsin and election irregularities. There After the twenty 40 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 3: twenty four election, the clerks there have now referred forty 41 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:49,079 Speaker 3: six instances of suspected fraud or voting irregularities to prosecutors. 42 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 3: These include a small number of possible double votes or 43 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 3: improper registrations that again coming from PBS Wisconsin. Go to Ohio, 44 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 3: where Ohio voter fraud allegations have now been sent all 45 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 3: the way to the Department of Justice. The Ohio Secretary 46 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 3: of State has now referred listened carefully more than a 47 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 3: thousand alleged voter fraud cases to the use Department of Justice. 48 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 3: As to local prosecutors did not act on them, why 49 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 3: because they were in democratic areas. Many involved suspected ineligible 50 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 3: voting or ballot issues that would mean illegal immigrants. 51 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 4: Now, there are numerous. 52 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 3: Local lection officials and watchdog groups that have reported or 53 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 3: helped uncover individual cases such as people deliberately double voting, 54 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 3: non citizens being registered to vote, and voting mail in 55 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 3: ballot tampering. Now, these are trends that seem to be 56 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 3: getting bigger, not smaller. So what does it actually mean. 57 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 3: It means that voter fraud is real and people are 58 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 3: trying to cheat, which brings us to the newest story. 59 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 3: Minnesota lawmaker has now uncovered listen carefully, thousands of voters 60 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 3: on a roll with missing information. Why would that happen? 61 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 3: Kaylee mcinnanny at Fox News Channel on her show had 62 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 3: this to say about exposing it with that law individual. 63 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 3: Let me say that differently, with that elected official who 64 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 3: is now a whistle blower. 65 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 4: Take a listen. 66 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 5: Republican Pam Altendorf is sharing her analysis of the active 67 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,360 Speaker 5: voter list in Hennepin County, where she says nearly three 68 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 5: thousand voters have missing information such as names, addresses, and birthdates. 69 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 5: And she's also uncovering potential duplicate voters with matching names 70 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 5: and addresses but a birth date just a few years apart. 71 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 5: Kind of curious. Well, Minnesota State Representative Pam Altendorf joins me, Now, Pam, 72 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 5: tell me what you found on these voter rolls there 73 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 5: in Hennepin County. It's just one county in Minnesota. 74 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 6: Absolutely, So just to give you a little background, I 75 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 6: am the vice chair of the Elections Committee in the 76 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 6: Minnesota State House, and I think it's very public knowledge 77 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 6: that the DOJ was looking for voter rolls across the 78 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,920 Speaker 6: country to help clean up our voter roles, which should 79 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 6: be important to everyone, and Minnesota declined to do that. 80 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 6: And after we were being sued, I looked at the 81 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 6: state statute. I've been working with some election in Tigrity groups, 82 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 6: groups like Minnesota Voters Alliance on my own staff, and 83 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 6: the Minnesota state statue is clear is that I have 84 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,679 Speaker 6: accessibility to this data. So I did a data request 85 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 6: to four counties and kind of the bigger story is 86 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 6: that Steve Simon, the Secretary of State, is actively working 87 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 6: to deny me citying state representative on the Elections Committee, 88 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 6: the ability to even see the data roles to determine 89 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 6: if they're clean or not. 90 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 5: That's really curious. So why not just give you the 91 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 5: voter roles? I mean, most people, I think if you 92 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 5: ask them, they would want sunlight that is the best disinfected. 93 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 5: You want transparency, And I would just note this. Scott 94 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 5: Pressler pointed out to me the two thousand and eight election, 95 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 5: he noted on this show, they're in Minnesota in your state, 96 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,280 Speaker 5: was decided by three hundred and twelve votes. That was 97 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 5: the Senate race. So this matters. 98 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 6: That's right, and we have many races that matter across 99 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 6: the state. But after I did the data, crust of 100 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 6: the four counties, one county did comply. And remember this 101 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 6: is after Steve Simon specifically put out a directive to 102 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 6: all eighty seven counties telling them not to give me 103 00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 6: the active voter list. And for whatever reason, Hennepein County, 104 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 6: the biggest county in Minnesota population wise, which represents twenty 105 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 6: percent of our population, did send me the data. And 106 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 6: in that and again I'm just looking at a very 107 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 6: high level of view, there are tons of there's missing information, 108 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 6: there's situations that looks like it might be duplicate voters. 109 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 6: There's a lot of voters over one hundred years old 110 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 6: that were born in nineteen twenty six or earlier. And 111 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 6: the real question is, you know, Republicans and anyone who 112 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 6: just cares about fair elections, why is there such an 113 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 6: effort to block us or any election in takeerty group 114 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 6: to see this information. If they're cleaned, that's great, And 115 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 6: if not, if Steve Simon is unable or unwilling to 116 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 6: clean our voter roles, then we absolutely have to get 117 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 6: federal help because this is disenfranchising every legal voter in Minnesota. 118 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, it seems like something both parties would take interest 119 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 5: in doing. 120 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 3: Pam altendors, by the way, Killy mcnane, dear friend of mine, 121 00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 3: former White Hounce Press secretary and Trump in his first 122 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 3: term in office, when she says the last point there, 123 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 3: it seems like this is something that. 124 00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 4: Both parties should care about. 125 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 3: She's making a very clear point there that there's a 126 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 3: reason why both parties don't care about this, and it's 127 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 3: clear what that is. Democrats want to be able to cheat. 128 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 3: Democrats do not want you to even have to show 129 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 3: an ID to vote because it allows for there to 130 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 3: be the ability to want cheat. When you look at 131 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 3: the Democratic Party right now, they are hell bent, I 132 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 3: mean absolutely hell bent on cheating at all costs. They 133 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 3: are hell bent on making sure that whatever it takes, 134 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,959 Speaker 3: whatever they have to do to cheat, they will do it. 135 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 3: Whatever they have to do to have an advantage on 136 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 3: election day, they will do it. Whatever they have to 137 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 3: do to find ballots after the fact, they will do it. 138 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 3: So the question that every American should be asking themselves 139 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 3: right now, after the evidence that I just laid out 140 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 3: for you, is is your vote really secure? And the 141 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 3: second question that everyone listening right now should be asking 142 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:20,200 Speaker 3: themselves is why is the Democratic Party so obsessed with 143 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 3: making sure that our elections are not secure? Donald Trump 144 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 3: has answered that question, by the way, He's made it 145 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 3: clear because they want to cheat, because they know that 146 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 3: when there is a non secure election process, they have 147 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:46,679 Speaker 3: the ability to manipulate, to alter and to change the 148 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 3: outcomes of elections. 149 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 4: And if they can do it, they will do it. 150 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 2: Thank you for listening to the forty seven Morning Update 151 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 2: with Ben Ferguson.
