Senator Kelly Townsend Calls for a Convention of States
Via @KellyTownsend:
Tomorrow, my resolution, SCR1010, will be heard in the House government committee. The purpose is to officially call a national convention of states, which will be called the "Phoenix Convention on Constitutional Liberties and Self-Government."
The purpose of the convention is to discuss protecting Constitutional rights during emergencies, as well as ensuring free and fair elections. It is a gathering of state legislatures in an official capacity, an effort to restore the practice that was once common before the Civil War.
Please see the below article that is meant to educate regarding this effort. Please note, the purpose of this convention is not to discuss amending the Constitution and is not focused on Article V. However, through my time working on that issue, I saw the need of restoring the practice of the official national convention of states. The historical conventions had many topics, which you can see below.
An excerpt:
"The generation that ratified the Constitution applied the term “convention” to a diplomatic gathering of three or more American colonies or states."
My (Prof. Rob Natelson) article identified the following American intergovernmental conventions up to and including the 1787 Constitutional Convention:
* Albany (1677) (Indian negotiations)
* Boston (1689) (defense issues)
* New York City (1690) (defense)
* New York City (1693) (defense)
* New York City (1704) (defense)
* Boston (1711) (defense)
* Albany (1744) (defense)
* Albany (1745) (defense)
* New York City (1747) (defense)
* Boston(?) (1757) (defense)
* New York City (1765) (response to Stamp Act)
* New York City (1774) (response to British actions)
* Providence, RI (1776-77) (paper currency and public credit)
* York Town, PA (1777) (price control)
* Springfield, MA (1777) (economic issues)
* New Haven, CN (1778) (price controls and other responses to inflation)
* Hartford, CN (1779) (economic issues)
* Philadelphia (1780) (price controls)
* Boston (1780) (conduct of Revolutionary War)
* Hartford (1780) (conduct of Revolutionary War)
* Providence, RI (1781) (war supply)
* Annapolis, MD (1786) (trade)
* Philadelphia (1787) (revise the political system)

Arizona Senate Liaison Ken Bennett Says He Hopes Senate Will Not Have to Take Legal Action to Get Routers from Maricopa County
TGP’s Jordan Conradson spoke with Senate liaison Ken Bennett on Monday about the AZ Audit.
Conradson: What about the subpoenaed passwords and routers?
Bennett: We’re still pushing the county for some of the information that we’ve not received, but I think the focus is getting these two phases the hand count, And the paper evaluation done. Then we’ll turn our focus to getting some of the other information that didn’t come over.
Conradson: Are you guys going to have to take criminal [sic] action?
Bennett: I hope not. I believe that they will provide us what we need by subpoena. The county and the Senate both know that the Maricopa County Superior Court judge has ruled that the counties are that the Senate subpoenas are valid and need to be complied with, so we hope things will go smoothly.

“Void ab initio“ and “Pact of Secession” as a Negotiating Tool? | American Thinker
Earlier in the week, I asked the question: What if Proof of 2020 Presidential Election Fraud Develops? I mentioned several remedies that have been widely talked about from impeachment to a Pentagon coup to rioting in the streets.
There is another option that theoretically could do that, one based on concepts familiar to Americans, thanks to shows from Perry Mason to Law & Order: “Fraud vitiates everything” and “fruit of the poison tree.”
In 1878, in United States v. Throckmorton, the Supreme Court held that “There is no question of the general doctrine that fraud vitiates the most solemn contracts, documents, and even judgments.” In English, fraud invalidates contracts – and an election is nothing if not a contract. Everyone knows if you sign a contract based on fraudulent information, that contract is invalid. That leads to “void ab initio“ which means that fraud from the beginning taints everything resulting from it.
The other doctrine is one we’ve seen TV lawyers use to throw out evidence against their client because it was obtained illegally. The evidence is inadmissible as the “Fruit of a poison tree.” The Supreme Court, in 1939, explained this in Nardone v. United States which holds that, if a tree is poisonous, so too is its fruit.
This means that, if fraud is shown, the election is invalid. Biden is not president and every action his administration took is void as if it never happened. Of course, that’s never been done in a presidential election but it’s happened a handful of times in lower elections.
Another fascinating piece from American Thinker — worth reading the full article.

Arizona Senate to Adjourn BEFORE Arizona Audit Results Released – Not Scheduled to Reconvene Until 2022
The Arizona Legislature is preparing to adjourn for the year and go home until January 2022, leaving their post BEFORE the Arizona audit report is produced and corrective legislation can be created.
If the AZ Senate does not delay sine die (the end of session), new election laws will not be created until they meet again next January [and will not go into effect in time for the 2022 election]. Furthermore, if it is found that fraud occurred in the Maricopa County election, the legislature will not be able to consider withdrawing electors.

Report: Maricopa County Ignored 20-Point Ballot Signature Verification, Ultimately Tossed Signature Requirement - County Denies
Ken Bennett, Senate liaison to the Maricopa County, Arizona, election audit said that auditors were informed by county election workers that the signature verification standards for mail-in ballots were at first lowered and ultimately disregarded for November’s races.
Ninety percent of Maricopa County voters, voted by mail, Bennett said.
“If there’s thousands or hundreds or tens of thousands or whatever of envelopes that did not have signatures at all, which is what some people have told us happened, that would be a huge failure by the county, because state law clearly says that an envelope containing a ballot has to have a signature in that affidavit box that reasonably resembles the voter who is attesting with that signature, that that’s their ballot inside.”

Trump 2020 Strategic Advisor: Constitution Does Not Prohibit Trump Reinstatement
Trump 2020 strategic advisor Boris Epshteyn said that he does not believe that the Constitution prohibits Trump from being reinstated if the audits find fraud.
Boris Epshteyn said that no one can state for certain that it would be unconstitutional for former President Donald Trump to be reinstated to the presidency since the U.S. Constitution does not prohibit reinstatement and the issue has never been ruled upon.
During an interview with Dr. Gina Loudon on Real America’s Voice, Epshteyn, a former Trump 2020 strategic advisor, predicted that the matter will land in the nation’s high court.
Epshteyn said that “the interplay of the 10th Amendment” to the U.S. Constitution, the 12th Amendment and Article II, “would suggest that states do have a right to decertify. And from then, it’s an open question what happens next.”
He said that after information becomes available from state audits, “decertification should happen because that’s the correct step from the states. And from then on in terms of deciding what to do about the federal election, well, there’s gonna be an open question,” he noted, remarking that he believes that the matter will go before the Supreme Court.

Dominion Voting Systems Has Spread Like a Virus in the U.S. Thanks to Obama
Dominion was founded in 2003, with a mission to provide electronic voting systems friendly for progressives. Because of such partisanship, it languished with almost no customers for the next 5-6 years, until the Obama administration came to power.
In 2008, Dominion was only used in New York and had an insignificant presence in Wisconsin. This began to change in 2010. Thanks to Obama, Dominion quadruped its market share in just 2 years and had expanded to ~40% of the U.S. by 2020.

I can’t understand how any of the Legislature can even THINK about Sine Die. This audit is a serious undertaking that needs to be seen all the way through by our Legislature. Taking a extended recess is the ONLY option. Call all of the Republicans in office and share your concern.
Sample script:
With the ongoing election audit currently underway, it would be highly inappropriate to adjourn the Legislative Session Sine Die. This is the most important audit in American history, and the results will impact the entire state of Arizona and the rest of the Country.
Any fraud and other findings must be fully addressed by the Legislature.
Taking an extended recess should be the only consideration. Do not adjourn!

Michigan Audit Update: Rep. Steve Carra Introduces House Bill 5091 Calling for an Audit of the 2020 Michigan Election
From Carra's office:
To analyze current processes to maintain accurate, up-to-date voter rolls, the third-party auditor would review additions, revisions and deletions to the Qualified Voter File. The audit board would also randomly select 20% of precincts from each city with at least 500,000 residents and 10% of precincts from each county for a thorough audit of poll books, ballots and vote tallies from the 2020 general election. 🚨👎
The audit of poll books would analyze when each poll book was generated, whether any electronic poll book was connected to a network after being downloaded, any changes made to a poll book and any recorded challenge from an election challenger, among others. The audit of ballots would log the total number of ballots printed, the number of absentee ballots returned by mail, the time a clerk received each absentee ballot returned on election day and when local clerks delivered absentee ballots for signature verification and tabulation, among others. The audit of vote tallies would review the electronic voting systems used to tabulate ballots in each precinct and include a detailed log of each vote tally transfer.❣️
The entire audit would be under constant video surveillance. 👍
The audit would be required to begin no later than 45 days after the bill takes effect, and the contractors would have 90 days to complete the audit. The bipartisan audit board would then have two weeks to complete and submit a final report.
-----
The bill is expected to be introduced to the House today. On the whole, the bill appears to be close to what constituents have been loudly calling for. One glaring exception is the random selection of precincts for an audit of poll books. But this is the first legitimate step any legislator has taken to listen to the voters, and we need it as a starting point.

The audit of poll books would analyze when each poll book was generated, whether any electronic poll book was connected to a network after being downloaded, any changes made to a poll book and any recorded challenge from an election challenger, among others. The audit of ballots would log the total number of ballots printed, the number of absentee ballots returned by mail, the time a clerk received each absentee ballot returned on election day and when local clerks delivered absentee ballots for signature verification and tabulation, among others. The audit of vote tallies would review the electronic voting systems used to tabulate ballots in each precinct and include a detailed log of each vote tally transfer.❣️
The entire audit would be under constant video surveillance. 👍
The audit would be required to begin no later than 45 days after the bill takes effect, and the contractors would have 90 days to complete the audit. The bipartisan audit board would then have two weeks to complete and submit a final report.
-----
The bill is expected to be introduced to the House today. On the whole, the bill appears to be close to what constituents have been loudly calling for. One glaring exception is the random selection of precincts for an audit of poll books. But this is the first legitimate step any legislator has taken to listen to the voters, and we need it as a starting point.

Arizona Conservatives Take Action pinned «I can’t understand how any of the Legislature can even THINK about Sine Die. This audit is a serious undertaking that needs to be seen all the way through by our Legislature. Taking a extended recess is the ONLY option. Call all of the Republicans in office…»
Senator Kelly Townsend Clarifies Sine Die Adjournment
Via @KellyTownsend:
Point of clarification about Sine Die (The legislature going home for the year)
What we can do after Sine die:
-Hold a committee hearing (without voting on legislation)
-Issue subpoenas
-Go to court
What we cannot do if we Sine die:
- Take legislative action
(Introduce bills, vote)
- Fix issues discovered in the audit process in statute. If we wait until next year, those bills will not be in effect until AFTER the 2022 primary.
- Be at the table while the Legislature is not in session if we are still under an emergency order.
- Enforce a subpoena (with 16 votes)
It is important to note:
We typically go home Sine Die in late April/ early May and are considered a part-time Legislature.
This is not a typical year, and to be in session this late is unusual. We still have outstanding work to be done. We are looking for options to address the issue we still face, while staying in regular session or coming in for a special session. I will keep you posted as to what transpires.
