Parallel Election Discussed In KFBP Video — The Parallel Election: A Blueprint for Deception,” Election Fraud against President Trump was the subject of an impromptu discussion made into a video by Keystone Fair Business Partners.
The book, by Greg Stenstrom and Leah Hoopes, concerns Delaware County, Pa. and the 2020 election.
Also, Stenstrom was the subject of a TheKingsReportInterviews by Richard Panzer regarding the recent victory in a defamation case filed in Philadelphia against himself, Ms. Hoopes, Rudy Giuliani and President Trump. Check it out here.
And don’t forget to sign up for Stenstrom’s social media platform Patriot.Online.
Plaintiffs Ask Fayette County Election Records Be Saved — The plaintiffs in the Fayette County, Pa. election case have filed a request for a litigation hold asking the county and its bureau of elections preserve everything relating to the May and November 2023 elections.
These include ballots, mail-in ballot envelopes, return sheets, digital files including cast vote records and paper tapes.
The plaintiffs are Republican commissioner candidate Jon Marietta, GOP county Chairwoman Michelle Mowry, and electors Melanie Patterson, Robert Patterson, Cody Patterson, Maureen Elias and Thomas Elias.
Election 2020 Defamation Dismissed In Philly; Total Victory For Greg, Leah And Trump–The Philadelphia defamation case against President Trump and others has been dismissed with prejudice by Common Pleas Court Judge Michael E. Erdos.
This means it can’t be refiled.
Complete credit for the victory goes to Delaware County poll watchers Leah Hoopes of Chadds Ford and Gregory Stenstrom of Glen Mills who were co-defendants and who represented themselves.
The high-powered legal team representing The Donald seemed to be just going through the motions when we watched.
Trump, Ms. Hoopes, Stenstrom and Rudy Giuliani were accused of defaming former Delaware County, Pa. Voting Machine Warehouse supervisor James Savage saying he helped rig the 2020 election giving Pennsylvania’s electors — and the presidency — to Joe Biden.
Ms. Hoopes and Stenstrom make their claims in their bookThe Parallel Election.
Ms. Hoopes and Stenstrom used a truth defense. Truth is an absolute defense in defamation cases although this requires the defendants to prove their case.
J. Conor Corcoran represented Savage.
Corcoran faces a hearing before the disciplinary board of the state Supreme Court on an unrelated matter.
One factor that raises a hmmm is that the hearing was dropped after Ms. Hoopes and Stenstrom requested subpoenas for Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer, former US Attorney for Eastern Pennsylvania William McSwain; then Pennsylvania Attorney General (now Governor) Josh Shapiro; and communications between Delaware County and Factcheck.org.
Stollsteimer issued a statement May 4 2022 — and read into the record by Delaware County Council, May 18, 2022 — declaring the claims by Ms. Hoopes and Stenstrom to be unfounded. He said their evidence was altered.
You would think Savage would have been the one wanting Stollsteimer’s testimony.
Really? Altered evidence?
Savage would have had a slam dunk.
Wonder why it was the defendants that wanted Stollsteimer on the stand.
There’s a similar defamation case in Delaware County where Savage is joined by Delco Election Director James Allen.
Maybe Jack can testify there.
Assuming that one continues of course.
We hear that Duane Morris LLP — Delco’s law firm — has pulled its attorneys.
In another matter, we are hearing reports of a seriously disgusting stunt pulled by Delco’s county detectives and its Children and Youth Services people.
Corcoran Wants To Quit Delco Defam Case — J. Conor Corcoran, the embattled attorney representing James Savage in defamation cases relating to the 2020 election, wants out.
He has filed a motion to withdraw as counsel in the case before Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judge Michael E. Erdos, and proposed a 90-day stay in proceedings.
Being sued are Delaware County poll watchers Leah Hoopes of Chadds Ford and Gregory Stenstrom of Glen Mills; President Donald Trump and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
Savage is the former Delaware County, Pa. Voting Machine Warehouse supervisor whom the defendants allege was instrumental in rigging Delco’s votes against Trump in 2020 hence giving Pennsylvania’s electoral votes to Joe Biden.
Corcoran cites “irreconcilable differences,” with his client, “personal problems,” and that he is closing his law practice as to why he wants to quit.
Stenstrom and Ms. Hoopes filed a motion, Feb. 14, seeking sanctions against Corcoran saying that Corcoran made provably false claims before the Court in written filings and oral testimony during hearings in June and November.
Corcoran is also facing a hearing before the disciplinary board of the state Supreme Court on an unrelated matter regarding professional misconduct.
Stenstrom and Ms. Hoopes are objecting to Corcoran’s request to quit and postpone the case, and are asking to be allowed to present their pending Motion for Summary Judgement in their favor.
Stenstrom and Ms. Hoopes have also filed a request in Delaware County Common Pleas Court to dismiss a defamation suit Corcoran filed there on behalf of Savage and Delco Election Director James Allen.
Corcoran wants to quit that too and have attorney John Rooney take his place.
Among the reasons that Stenstrom and Ms. Hoopes give for dismissal is that Corcoran had not filed the required Praecipe to Reinstate for 173 days and had not completed proper service in the 470 days since their original Writ of Summons.
They further say that Corcoran filed frivolous, conjectural complaints without any material facts, and failed to meet a majority of the most basic procedural requirements.
Most significantly, they say the county has unlawfully destroyed or is unlawfully withholding documents necessary for their defense.
Stenstrom and Ms. Hoopes are the authors of The Parallel Election. Co-defendants in Delco include Newsmax, The Federalist and Margot Cleveland.
Delco Renews Fort Orange Press Contract; Dismisses Concerns — Delaware County (Pa) Council, Feb. 21, renewed its contract with Fort Orange Press of Albany, N.Y. to print its mail and absentee ballots.
They will be paid $264,000 for the 2024 elections.
Delco is actually fighting an order from the state Office of Open Records to let all be revealed.
Just something to make you go hmmmm.
The county also approved a $117,300 contract with Phoenix Graphics to print election day ballots; a $40,000-max agreement with John C. Barton for services relating to election database preparations; election result reporting and payroll preparations; a $341,096 annual license and support renewal for the Hart Verity voting system; and to accept a $45,000 Help America Vote College Program Grant.
Barton, a retired county employee, created Delco’s election reporting system. Council members asked at the Feb. 20 work session if there were plans to phase him out. The answer was yes.
The college grant is to hire 45 students from the many universities in the county. They will be poll workers if they are county residents or do training if not.
The county suffers a shortage of poll workers.
During public comments, Joy Schwartz of Upper Darby asked why the county can’t find a local printer. She also asked how the ballots were being transported from Albany to Delco.
She asked that the controversial central counting center where mail-in and dropped off ballots are counted be closed and the responsibility returned to the precincts.
Mrs. Schwartz said that this was actually required by the state Election Code.
County solicitor Jonathan Lichtenstein said that two state legislatures are suing to return the counting to the precincts but central counting centers have been upheld by the courts. He also said returning the ballots to the precincts would be a logistical nightmare and an added burden for the poll workers many of whom have been working 14 hours when the polls close.
Here’s a thought: Treat the central counting station as a precinct. This would allow poll watchers access now forbidden. It may not end the dispute but it certainly would make fewer go hmmmm.
Paul Rumley of Springfield said more than half of Americans no longer trust our elections and with good reason. He said that the county council members ought to start asking why. He cited the books The Parallel Election by Greg Stenstrom and Leah Hoopes, and Rigged by Mollie Hemmingway as places to start.
Barb Lewis of Radnor said she continues to distrust Delco’s voting machines. She cited a video Delco’s Director of Elections James Allen made while he was communications director for the Chicago Board of Elections, his prior job.
Allen says that election machines are vulnerable, Ms. Lewis said. And that voting by internet is a very bad idea.
Ms. Lewis said that she saw poll pads connected to the internet in the last election.
Poll pads are to replace the paper list of voters used by poll workers.
Councilwoman Christine A. Reuther said that while the poll pads can be connected to the internet, the files are absolutely secure and you can trust them absolutely completely, and besides, you can’t vote by poll pad.
Carris Kocher of Concord said the Election Return Board is required to review ballots but does not review the mail-in ballots.
Allen took the podium to rebut some of the statements. He said he stands by his claim that voting by the internet is a bad idea. Internet voting is not happening, however, he said. Allen said the county has done many recounts and no problems were found. He seemed to concede that the return board may not be reviewing mail-in ballots.
Delco Defamation Defendants Want To Subpoena Stollsteimer
This is getting interesting.
Greg Stenstrom of Glen Mills and Leah Hoopes of Chadds Ford want to subpoena Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer in the defamation case against them in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court, and plaintiff James Savage is fighting this.
Savage is the former Delaware County, Pa. Voting Machine Warehouse supervisor. He is accused by Stenstrom, Ms. Hoopes and others of being instrumental in rigging Delco’s votes against Trump in 2020 hence giving Pennsylvania’s electoral votes to Joe Biden.
Savage, represented by J. Conor Corcoran, is also suing President Donald J. Trump and Rudy Giuliani.
Why is Savage fighting the subpoena?
You would think it would only help him. Stollsteimer, after all, is a fellow Democrat who publicly declared that he investigated the claims and that they were unfounded.
Certainly makes one go hmmmm that Savage would be concerned about what a subpoena would reveal.
The defendants also want to subpoena former US Attorney for Eastern Pennsylvania William McSwain who said that he turned over all materials that they had presented to him to then Pennsylvania Attorney General (now Governor) Josh Shapiro on Nov. 9, 2020, as directed by then US Attorney General William Barr.
Shaprio did not investigate.
Shapiro denies receiving the material.
The defendants are asking that he get a subpoena too.
Ms. Hoopes and Stentrom also want a subpoena to compel Delaware County to disgorge all communications between its officials, solicitors and Savage with Factcheck.org, a partisan Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) affiliated with the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania.
The defendants, who are representing themselves, are making a truth defense. Truth is an absolute defense in all defamation lawsuits albeit for it to work they are going to have basically prove their claims.
Why is the case being heard in Philly when it concerns Delco?
Pennsylvania laws allows the plaintiffs to basically bring their case in the county of their choosing.
Sanctions Sought Against Conor Corcoran By Delco Defamation Defendants –Leah Hoopes of Chadds Ford and Gregory Stenstrom of Glen Mills, seek sanctions against J. Conor Corcoran, the attorney representing James Savage in a defamation case against the pair, along with President Donald J. Trump and Rudy Giuliani.
Savage is the former Delaware County, Pa. Voting Machine Warehouse supervisor whom the defendants allege was instrumental in rigging Delco’s votes against Trump in 2020 hence giving Pennsylvania’s electoral votes to Joe Biden.
Ms. Hoopes and Stenstrom wrote The Parallel Election, one of the many places where the claim has been made.
They filed their motion for sanctions, Feb. 14, in Philadelphia Common Pleas Court.
Why Philadelphia when matters discussed are to have occurred in Delco?
Pennsylvania law says venue will be proper in the county the individual may be served or in which the cause of action arose or where the transaction or occurrence took place out of which the cause of action arose or in any other county authorized by law.
Philly is one of those “authorized by law” places.
Ms. Hoopes and Stenstrom are representing themselves.
Their motion asks that the Court enforce the Pennsylvania Rules of Professional Conduct to prevent further abuse of the Honorable Court, and protect the lives, liberty, property, and rights of Defendants.
They say Corcoran made provably false claims before the Court in written filings and oral testimony during hearings in June and November including that he had filed criminal complaints against Defendants Stenstrom and Hoopes with the FBI and Pennsylvania Attorney General. He wanted Stenstrom and Ms. Hoopes be sanctioned for tens of thousands of dollars, silenced, disarmed and saddled with a restraining order.
They say that Corcoran testified that he had made a 30-minute call with the FBI “during which he somehow failed to obtain the agent’s name or case number, nor could he recall the date or any other details of the call regarding his allegations that Defendants intended to use “incendiary devices” against Judge Erdos, Plaintiff Savage and himself.”
The motion says that Corcoran claims to have spoken with “someone” in the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s office but couldn’t recall the date, or other specifics.
They point out that these allegations not merely cost them time and money to refute but endangered their lives raising the fear they could become “swatting” victims if law enforcement had been made to believe they were violent.
The defendants say that Corcoran has a history of such actions and that his victims include clients, former Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams and the defendants’ former attorney Thomas Carroll.
Keystone Town Hall Hears From Magnolia Women’s Center; Gets Legal Update On Election Actions — Melissa Aguilera, yesterday, Feb. 8 passionately explained the mission of the Magnolia Women’s Center at a Keystone Town Hall in Malvern, Pa.
Mrs. Aguilera, who is the center’s executive director, had two abortions decades ago in her teens and described the trauma she suffered from them. She said she doesn’t want young women to go through what she experienced. She said abortion is absolutely taking a life.
Magnolia is at 7811 Frankford Ave., Philadelphia and would be an excellent fundraising project for a church or charity.
Also speaking was a representative of the Election Research Institute (ERI) who detailedDawn Keefer et al vs Joseph Biden et al filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
As it is a federal case it will bypass the shamelessly partisan Pennsylvania judicial system.
Ms. Keefer, who represents the 92nd District in the Pennsylvania House, and 26 other legislators say their civil rights as legislators were violated by executive orders, emails and edicts by Gov. Josh Shapiro, the Pennsylvania Department of State, and President Joe Biden. These violated blackletter state law — not to mention the U.S. and Pennsylvania constitutions — regarding running elections.
The ERI rep also said that E&S voting machines used in Northhampton, Cumberland and Philadelphia counties will remain despite having been found to have flipped votes last November in Northhampton County, and despite being objectively non-compliant with standards set by state law.
She also described how the Pennsylvania Department of State has issued an edict that motor voter registrations must be accepted even if driver license or Social Security numbers don’t match the name.
This again, violates blackletter state law. Counties are actually compelled to ignore it but they are guided, sheep-like, by solicitors afraid to cross Shapiro and the Pennsylvania judiciary.
Gary Heasley noted how an Ohio sheriff has said terror threats are at an unprecedented level because of our open border and that there are five cyber attacks per day on his small county by the Chinese. He also noted that America’s budget now includes $1 trillion per year in interest payments on the debt.
Heasley said that a recent Gallup poll has 43 percent of Americans calling themselves independent with those calling themselves Republicans or Democrats split at 27 percent.
When pushed as to which way they leaned, 45 percent said Republican and 43 percent Democrat.
Keystone Town Hall Hears From Magnolia Women’s Center; Gets Legal Update On Election Actions
Election Concerns Again Expressed In Delco Pa — Election concerns were again expressed In Delaware County, Pa. and County Councilwoman Christine A. Reuther again, last night, Feb. 7, angrily dismissed them.
Joy Schwartz of Drexel Hill said it is impossible for ballots to be certified at the central counting center at the Wharf in a trustworthy way. The counting center is where the mail-in ballots are processed.
Mrs. Schwartz implored these ballots be returned to precincts where the counting can be observed by poll watchers and the election workers are familiar with residents.
It is not widely known but poll watchers do not have the same rights and powers at counting centers as they do at precincts.
Mrs. noted that our security for our elections have been practically outsourced to the corporations that make voting machines and writer their softeare.
She demanded that the counting center be closed and the counting of mail in ballots be returned to precinct
Also expressing concerns about our elections was Barb Lewis of Radner specifically regarding the SURE system which is how Pennsylvania tracks registered voters.
Ms. Reuther said it was unfortunate that people still spread doubts about elections in Delaware County.
We say look in the mirror. We say it is pretty weird to fight open record requests regarding business correspondence especially when the state arbiters rule against you.
Also Carris Kocher of Concord pointed out that oaths of office are required by law at the prothonotary office. She said she looked for those of several Delaware County officials but was unable to find them.
Laws being ignored about small things is a sign that laws are being ignored about big ones.
Chesco Using Technicality In Attempt To Derail Election Investigation — Here is the latest regarding the attempt to get Chester County, Pa. Republican Recorder of Deeds candidate Brian D. Yanoviak — and others — access to digital copies of various election records including ballots, unredacted outer envelopes for mail-in ballots, unredacted poll books and the cast vote record for the central tabulator from the November 2023 election.
After Common Pleas Judge Anthony Vewrey denied the request, he was told there were serious errors of fact in his decision including that he cited arguments they did not make; invoked standards that were not applicable; and incorrectly cited state law. The appellants protested and Vewrey gave them 21 days from Dec. 18 to clarify their objections.
The appellants did so. The complaints were not addressed and so they appealed to Commonwealth Court.
The appellees — which are Chester County and the Chester County Board of Elections — are claiming the appellants failed to meet Vewrey’s deadline.
Commonwealth Court has asked for an explanation.
The appellants point out that Chester County cut off access to the electronic filing system so they were forced to use the United States Postal Services overnight priority mail on Jan. 7 which was 20 days after Vewrey’s order. They also emailed the appellees the documents the day of the deadline along with the postal receipts.
The documents mailed “overnight” were not picked up until Jan. 11.
Why is the county fighting this? Election integrity is an ever growing concern and every battle to obstruct transparency makes it grow faster. The county could have resolved this in November with far less money and effort.
