Delaware County Concedes, Will Let Auditors See Ballot Envelope Signatures — Delaware County, Pa. has agreed to allow Republican candidates and poll watchers to count mail-in ballot envelopes from the May 16 primary election and see the signatures on them, according to Greg Stenstrom who is one of the poll watchers.
Stenstrom received an email yesterday, July 13, from county Director of Elections Jim Allen saying “the envelopes are going to be available for review unredacted.”
Stenstrom requested that the two-day audit be scheduled for the middle of next week.
Stenstrom; fellow poll watchers Leah Hoopes and Paul Rumley; and Delaware County Council candidate Joy Schwartz requested to see the envelopes shortly after the election but were stonewalled by the county.
Facing legal challenges, the county conceded but demanded that the envelope signatures be hidden. They began taping over them. This prompted the audit to be cancelled with the petitioners appealing to Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court.
Commonwealth Court is the venue for civil suits against the state.
The taping had been done after consultation with the Department of State.
Commonwealth Court Justice Michael H. Wojcik heard the petition, July 11. He accepted the county’s argument that his court was not the appropriate jurisdiction because the secretary of the state could not compel action.
Fulton County, we hope you are reading.
Wojcik sent the case to Delaware County Common Pleas Court.
Sometime between then and yesterday some authority in Delco took a sane pill and agreed to an unredacted audit. Pointless legal expenses will be end and, hopefully, election trust will increase.
Envelope signatures are no different than voter rolls which are obviously and necessarily public records. How one voted cannot be learned from the envelope.
Now Delco, end the stupid fights about the right-to-know requests.

Mainstream Publications Now Airing Vote Fraud Suspicions — John Daniel Davidson of The Federalist points out that the poison injected into America’s veins in 2020 is not going away and that any Republican seeking to challenge Donald Trump for the 2024 nomination better recognize it as to have a prayer of a chance.
Even that would likely be futile.
Simple logic shows that the honorable thing is to support the one who was wronged, not attack him.
Davidson says the election wasn’t taken from Trump but from the American voter. He fudges a little about it having been stolen but is definitive that it was fixed.
“After all, the people and institutions that rigged it have freely admitted what they did,” he writes. “They suppressed the Hunter Biden laptop story, censored what Americans could say on social media, introduced unprecedented changes to our voting system under the pretext of pandemic precautions, and poured hundreds of millions of dollars into putatively nonpartisan local election offices through Mark Zuckerberg-connected nonprofits for the sole purpose of turning out Democrat voters in swing states.”
And he certainly doesn’t dismiss the possibility of out-and-out theft.
“Plenty of them will always believe, not without reason, that 2020 was stolen outright,” he says. “Many millions more believe, with even more reason, that it was rigged unfairly against Trump and that the same forces are at work now to rig it against whomever the GOP nominee turns out to be.”
Our leaders — especially in the judiciary — must leave their pleasant bubbles and see the seething anger held by the many who once considered FBI agents and federal prosecutors to be heroes.
Officials must bend over backwards regarding election transparency.
They must stop fighting right-to-know requests like cornered rats.
Why doesn’t Delaware County, Pa. want the public to see its correspondence with its ballot printer, Fort Orange Press of Albany, N.Y.?
Why can’t candidates verify that the ballot envelopes have proper signatures?
That these simple things are being fought can’t be taken as anything but proof that our votes are being stolen.
We are going to call out by name Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court Justice Michael H. Wojcik.
Two days ago, he presided over a hearing concerning access to ballot envelope signatures.
Rather than resolve the matter by ordering access to these public records, he dumped it on Delaware County Common Pleas Court.
He accepted Delco lawyer Manley Parks argument that Commonwealth Court wasn’t the proper venue since only county officials were involved. This is despite the county seeking, and getting, direction from the Department of State.
Put all the cards on the table now. If it should turn out that nothing untoward happened, or if it did it was minor, a crisis is averted.
If it should be found that the vote fraud was real and decisive, don’t become a co-conspirator.

Introduction To Alternative Candidates
By Bob Small
Years ago, when we were involved with Democracy Unplugged, we would seek out alternative candidates for some of our debates. We contacted people from the Delco Democrats and the Delco GOP, designated speakers supporting Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, our two “legitimate” presidential candidates. We would seek “alternative” candidates by looking at the webpages of Politics1.com
We defined legitimate “alternative” candidates as those with either a Facebook presence or a website. Obviously, these “alternative” candidates did not have any chance of winning, but they had ideas worth hearing, and we wanted to give them a voice at a forum, whether they represented the Constitution Party or a socialist party or were Independents.
On the Politics 1 2024 presidential candidates’ pages, the names of the major candidates are followed by an alphabetical listing of the alternative candidates for each party.
Under the subheading “other Republicans”, Hugo Aguilar’s name is listed second from the top. He is the first candidate I am looking into, because I am ignoring candidates who have no website or Facebook presence.
Here’s the link for Aguilar’s campaign, sponsored by the CBC (Christian based company) Adam Advancement.
Here’s where it becomes interesting.
On this website, one sees references to the following “campaign trails”:
Benjamin Franklin campaign trail (the south)
Alexander Hamilton campaign trail (the midwest)
Andrew Jackson campaign trail (the texMex)
Thomas Jefferson campaign trail (the west)
Gun Rights 2024
Jan 15th and 16th at the Dallas convention center
This website includes the quote “the Trump Train was amazing, but the Aguilar Aerospace will be phenomenal!” and some amazing photographs.
At any rate, I signed up with my Proton e-mail account.
My Proton e-mail account has end-to-end encryption, which we use for anything sketchy.
And as they say on Sesame street, next will be the letter “B”.

Plight Of Aston Township — An occasional email to the voters of Aston Township, particularly the 7th Ward.
Greetings,
My name is Joe Dychala and I ran a Write In campaign for the 7th Ward GOP
Commissioner nomination. Myself a political unknown, going up against Mike Higgens a four term candidate who had the full support of the machine, managed to earn 1 in 3 votes this Primary.
Regardless if you voted for myself or incumbent Mike Higgens I would like
to sincerely thank you. It is only with citizen participation that our form
of government functions properly. Being an informed voter is critical for
self governance and is the minimimun every American citizen must engage in.
With almost 800 registered Republicans in the 7th Ward, a turn out of less
than 300 voters in the May Primary should concern us all. Municipal
elections are those closest to the People and impact our daily lives
directly.
The latest example is the Board of Commissioners raised our taxes, again,
and discontinued more basic services, again. Property taxes went up and
second summer trash pick up was discontinued. The Board’s solution is a
dumpster. You get to be your own trash service. But make certain you don’t
put the “wrong” trash in the dumpster. Also be aware the dumpster is
monitored by cameras to ensure your compliance.
So we have money for a dumpster and recurring pick ups, cameras, new street
lamps, new street signs, traffic studies for “round-a-bouts to nowhere”,
islands with perennial gardens in the middle of Pennell Road that filled
with trash and weeds but not for basic services we have come to depend on
and deserve.
We have been told much of this was funded by grants. Don’t be fooled,
monetary grants (the shiny object commissioners can’t or won’t refuse) are
generally a one time infusion of cash. In addition, grants are generally
matched by the receiving municipality. There are no free lunches.
Furthermore if it’s a state grant our income taxes paid for it, if it’s a
county grant our property taxes paid for it. When I mentioned this to Mike
Higgens he responded. “I never though of it that way.” Newsflash – thats
your JOB as commissioner, to protect our tax dollars and resources. Period.
This is after the loss of the leaf truck a few years back that had the
unintended consequence of folks just cutting their trees down. No trees, no
leaves to clean up. In Penn’s Woods.
This is after the Board refused to address a failing HVAC system and
leaking roof on the township building thus creating a situation where tens
of thousands of dollars in potential repairs led to hundreds of thousands
in actual damage that will now burden the taxpayers for a multimillion dollar
facility. This alone should enrage your fiscal sensibilities. This is not
what we elect Republicans to do.
This is after the destruction of old growth forest at the site of the
former Mercury Gun Club that failed to generate the promised tax revenue
but did cause excessive noise pollution that myself and many other
residents are on public record chastising the board and warning this would
happen.
Our township is drowning in debt and currently holds multiple municipal
bonds yet the Board continues a cycle of borrow, spend, tax, repeat.
Not to mention the businesses that are leaving Aston. Broadway Plaza is
beginning to look like a ghost town. New businesses aren’t arriving.
Take note of our once beautiful American flag next time you walk or drive
past Valley View and see that it is in tatters. The American flag and
POW/MIA flag that fly above our Post Office is also in tatters. It is
disgraceful. But not a surprise.
We are a nation in decline (I believe we can, must and will reverse this
trend) and Aston will not be immune or exempt. We desperately need, seek
and demand new leadership. My goal for Aston is forward looking. We should
not be forced to manage the decline that Media, Harrisburg and DC are
pushing on us. We need to be a model not only for Delco but a model for
Pennsylvania on how to successfully manage a township to not only survive
but thrive in these economically challenging times.
Don’t sit out this election in November. Stand up for your community, your
county, your commonwealth and most importantly for our shared values that
truly make America the most unique (and successful) political experiment in
human history.
We might be down but we’re not out. This is far from over.
Yours in Liberty,
Joe D
