The Epoch Times reported that Judge Mary Hannah Leavitt ruled today that Democratic Pennsylvania Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar overstepped her authority to change an election deadline.
“The Court concludes that Respondent Kathy Boockvar, in her official capacity as Secretary of the Commonwealth, lacked statutory authority to issue the November 1, 2020, guidance to Respondents County Boards of Elections insofar as that guidance purported to change the deadline … for certain electors to verify proof of identification.” The ruling is linked here as a download.
“Accordingly, the court hereby orders that Respondents County Boards of Elections are enjoined from counting any ballots that have been segregated pursuant to … this court’s order,” the judge Leavitt added. That means that those ballots shouldn’t be counted. The question remains how many ballots are at stake? Is it enough to change the outcome or not?
Tonight’s featured focus will be the Electoral Map that the Epoch Times provides, which stands in stark contrast to what others in media use.
Also of interest in those reading the post-election tea leaves is what Public Citizen emailed to today, in a disturbing document obtained by MHProNews.

Where Business, Politics and Investing Can Meet
Right-of-center OAN has this headline on their homepage rotating banner this evening.
The anti-communist, pro-Falun Gong and independent outlet Epoch Times has a significantly different take of the status of the state-by-state electoral college result, and which states are as yet ‘undecided’ than much of the mainstream media.
Whatever the outcome of the bulk of the Trump campaign’s legal challenges, which are not a given, there is certainly oddities in the results so far.
Down-ballot Republicans won, but the top of the ticket did not? That stands at odds with common electoral results.
The ‘rush to finalize’ the election results by Democrats may be an indicator that they have concerns about what careful audits and investigations may reveal.
Perhaps that helps explain why Speaker Pelosi today postured outrage while ducking the point that former Vice President Al Gore had some 5 weeks for his legal challenges for one state, Florida.
Influence Watch says that George Soros and several other leftist organizations providing the funding to the Public Citizen nonprofit.
Following the PA court ruling noted above, and several other revelations that may point to election fraud, Public Citizen sent out this email to their readers. MHProNews obtained a copy and is sharing their message below. Note that they don’t sound too confident in the outcome, or they wouldn’t be rattling the threat of taking to the streets on short notice?
The bold text is in the original from Public Citizen. That follows the tweet from the same source, which spotlights a problem among the emerging potential Democratic Administration.
This just looks like the Democratic version of the military-industrial complex. https://t.co/77Q4bFkL4d

That’s what we call a president who won’t be serving another term but is still in office for the two-and-a-half months between Election Day and Inauguration Day.
But a lame duck is a wounded animal.
And a wounded animal can be incredibly dangerous.
Donald Trump has been wounded. In his twisted mind, grievously so.
The weeks ahead may be as perilous as any in our nation’s entire history.
- Trump is already frantically undermining the very concept of democracy.
- He has cowed the General Services Administration from officially acknowledging the election results, subverting the transition process.
- He has set about replacing his own appointees within the Department of Defense — who he came to see as insufficiently sycophantic — with MAGA adherents who are even more alarmingly unqualified.
- As a growing majority of the country recognizes the truth of Biden’s victory, Trump is inciting an unhinged minority into believing that an ill-defined conspiracy stole the election.
- There is simply no telling how far Trump might go in his lashing out as he desperately tries to cling to power.
It is entirely possible that we may need to take to the streets in the days and weeks ahead — with little warning, and maybe more than once — to stop an outgoing president from sabotaging his successor and our country on his way out.
Add your name to show your support for mobilizations necessitated by Trump’s unprecedented and depraved actions.
Add your name even if you may not be able to participate yourself for one reason or another.
Thanks for taking action.
For democracy,
– Robert Weissman, President of Public Citizen
P.S. For half a century, Public Citizen has been advancing policies that put the needs of everyday Americans before the greed of billionaires and Big Business. That legacy of progress and that ongoing work could not matter more right now, as our nation transitions to a Joe Biden presidency that will be as progressive as we — you and Public Citizen, together — make it.
Of course, we’re also busy undoing damage the Trump administration has already done and watching out for whatever shenanigans a lame-duck Donald Trump tries to get away with. And — like so many nonprofits and small businesses — we continue to experience financial strain related to the coronavirus pandemic.”

All of these problematic reports that have evidence need to be objectively explored. The core the founding of the American Republic is the simple notion of no taxation without representation. If elections are not fair, then there is no voter-based representation. Some surveys reflect that about half of the country think this election had serious problems. Given over 72 million votes for President Trump – a record number for an incumbent president – that type of post-election poll would not be a surprise.

While much of the anti-Trump media is spreading rumors that the president is about to throw in the towel, there are no official sources that hint at anything other than a serious fight to count every legal vote, but discard every fraudulent or improper ballot.

It should be noted that Democrats spent record sums in the 2020 cycle, plus had the benefit of much of big tech and big media.
