MARICOPA COUNTY, AZ – On the evening of November 4th, an estimated 150 protesters had rallied outside of the Maricopa County Elections Department office, since Arizona is one of the few states that have been lagging on completing the count of votes.
That’s Right Citizens, FIGHT BACK!!!
Voters Protest Outside Arizona Election Office: ‘Count Those Votes!’https://t.co/WVzbaCdg4B

As of November 5th, votes still haven’t been fully tallied in Arizona, and officials haven’t clearly conveyed when the counting will be completed.
But on the evening of November 4th, certain news outlets were trying to already call the state of Arizona a win for Joe Biden – which reportedly there are still hundreds of thousands of votes remaining to be counted in a relatively tight race within the state.

The protesters that had positioned themselves outside of the Maricopa County Elections Department office were said to have been predominantly President Trump supporters, apparently demanding for more transparency and accuracy in handling the uncounted votes.
Now what was all the more hilarious was how MSNBC covered the protest, which by all means was peaceful based upon the captured video that MSNBC attained.
Curtis Houck from NewsBusters took to Twitter to comment on how Rachel Maddow and Gadi Schwartz were really leaning on the theatrics when reporting on the crowd that amassed in Arizona, with Schwartz at times seeming to whisper around those in the crowd as though he was fearful of awakening a sleeping bear.
Houck stated it perfectly when he wrote:
“MSNBC is scared to death of this pro-Trump crowd outside where votes are counted in Maricopa County. This is what the double standard looks like – listen as this crowd is being treated like a mob that’s about to commit mass violence, infect people w/COVID, and who knows what else.”
Rachel Maddow and Gadi Schwartz are so fearful of this pro-Trump crowd rioting, whipping out guns because it’s an open carry state, and overwhelming law enforcement.
This is deranged nonsense. It’s all pure fear (and thus disdain) treating Trumpers like they’re zoo animals pic.twitter.com/h1ty6PpcL1

“Rachel Maddow and Gadi Schwartz are so fearful of this pro-Trump crowd rioting, whipping out guns because it’s an open carry state, and overwhelming law enforcement. This is deranged nonsense. It’s all pure fear (and thus disdain) treating Trumpers like they’re zoo animals.”
All the protesters seemed to be doing outside of the elections office was chanting a few chants here and there, waving their flags, and that’s about it.
The fact that the endeavor generated any press on the national level, that commanded news cameras in the first place, is actually kind of silly.
And one of the most honest assessments that Houck made regarding how MSNBC was treating the coverage of the protest in Arizona was that the left-leaning media hasn’t come close to being as critical toward liberal Black Lives Matter riots:
“If the liberal media attributed this level of fear and seriousness to the Black Lives Matter mobs that actually caused violence, looted stories, burned down buildings, caused millions (if not billions) of dollars in damage, perhaps more people would trust them.”

Also, someone was clever enough to respond with a photo depicting when BLM actually descended upon the likes of the CNN building earlier this year.
But as mentioned earlier, all this display consisted of were what falls right in line with the real definition of a peaceful protest.
However, the lead-up to and the ongoing election process (or debacle, rather) has been a bit of a hot mess nationally.
In a recent report we shared on Law Enforcement Today, apparently the dead had even risen up…to allegedly cast some votes in New York City.
Here’s that precious report.
_
NEW YORK CITY, NY- The New York Post recently reported that not all voters in the 2020 presidential election in New York City were still alive and that ballots have in fact been mailed to the New York City Board of Elections in the name of dead voters.
Nah…. There’s no election fraud! Dead people caught voting in NYC, elections records show https://t.co/IVv5D4uEgt via @nypmetro

According to the Post, a woman by the name of Frances M. Reckhow, a registered Democrat, requested an absentee ballot to be mailed to the residence on file. The election board then mailed the absentee ballot out on September 24th, in which it was received and declared “valid” on October 8, 2020.
The problem with this scenario is that Frances Recknow, who was born on July 6, 1915 and would be 105 today, died in 2012. An obituary filed with the Staten Island Advance confirms this death.
Her daughter, Carol Huben, who according to voting records is a registered Republican, is listed as residing at the same address as her late mother.
Huben did not return messages for comment, however, the Board of Elections said that they will “look into it.” In another incident, an absentee ballot was mailed from a Gertrude Nizzere, also a registered Democrat, who was born on February 7, 1919 and would be 101-years-old today.

According to the Board of Elections, someone identifying as Gertrude Nizzere, with an address of Shore Road in Brooklyn, requested an absentee ballot back in September.
Track records show that Nizzere’s ballot was mailed out on October 9th and it was received by the Board of Elections on October 13th. The Board of Elections went ahead and declared the ballot “valid” on October 25th.
However, after further review, on October 30th, the Board of Elections declared Nizzere’s ballot as “invalid” because after a search was conducted it was found that the voter died on July 4, 2016.
The Staten Island Republican Party, which is very closely scrutinizing absentee ballots, flagged these two records to the Post and is referring the matter to the police as well as to Staten Island District Attorney Michael McMahon’s office.

Reportedly, a close outcome is expected between first-term Democratic Rep. Max Rose and Republican Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis for the 11th Congressional District seat covering Staten Island and southern Brooklyn, which include Reckhow and Nizzere’s addresses. Staten Island GOP chairman Brendan Lantry said in a statement:
“People should be on the alert for dead people voting. There are people using the names of dead voters to cast ballots.”
He added:
“I believe this is just the tip of the iceberg. We’re requesting that the NYPD and the Staten Island’s District Attorney’s Office investigate.”

Filling out a ballot in a dead person’s name is fraud and has already resulted in prosecutions elsewhere, including recently in Long Island where a voter was accused of forging his dead mom’s name on an absentee ballot.
The Board of Elections said that it will look into the matter, however, absentee ballots do not get counted until six days AFTER Election Day in New York.
Republicans reported these most recent incident as well as other instances of voter fraud or suppression to the New York City Board of Elections. Additionally, New York City is under the microscope after the vender tasked with sending New York City ballots sent about 100,000 absentee and mail-in ballots to Brooklyn voters with return envelopes with other people’s names.
Watch Out For Voter FRAUD!

President Trump has raised concerns about mail-in voting. Various cities across the country are seeing massive amounts of fraud, corruption, lying, cheating, and ballot harvesting this election cycle. As a result, the Trump campaign has thousands of poll watchers across the country to help stop the spread of fraud.
President Trump has also promised to have his lawyers ready the second the polls close in states where voter fraud or suppression are suspected.
