PETITION TO STATE LEGISLATORS TO CORRECT VOTER DISENFRANCHISEMENT AND VOTER SUPPRESSION

​

Whereas, Article II of the Constitution governs the process of electing the President of the United States.

 

Whereas, The President is elected not by popular vote of the citizens, but using electors appointed in a manner directed by the respective state Legislatures.

 

Whereas, The events of November 3 were evidence of a common plan, combination, or conspiracy to disenfranchise over 71 million Americans of their votes for President of the United States.

 

Those events demonstrate a planned, targeted disruption of the constitutional manner of electing the President.

 

Whereas, The Trump campaign and others have filed or are filing lawsuits in the respective states where voting irregularities and outright voter fraud occurred, and those lawsuits describe the voting irregularities and outright voter fraud in the November 3 election.

 

Voting irregularities and outright voter fraud in Philadelphia, Detroit and other localities may not be evidence of “widespread” voter fraud in all states, but because of the constitutional process to elect the President, the impact is widespread to the extent it unlawfully changed the results of the election of the United States President.

 

Indeed, this was the most consequential criminal conspiracy in American history, with no close second.

 

Whereas, Some 46 years ago U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall writing in Anderson v. United States said that the federal criminal statute 18 U.S.C. § 241 applied in voter fraud cases.

 

The “injury” under § 241 is the dilution of votes. Justice Marshall wrote:

 

It has long been settled that § 241 embraces a conspiracy to stuff the ballot box at an election for federal officers, and thereby to dilute the value of votes of qualified voters . . .

 

That petitioners may have had no purpose to change the outcome of the federal election is irrelevant. The specific intent required under
§ 241 is not the intent to change the outcome of a federal election, but rather the intent to have false votes cast and thereby to injure the right of all voters in a federal election to express their choice of a candidate and to have their expressions of choice given full value and effect, without being diluted or distorted by the casting of fraudulent ballots . . .

 

The deposit of forged ballots in the ballot boxes, no matter how small or great their number, dilutes the influence of honest votes in an election, and whether in greater or less degree is immaterial. The right to an honest [count] is a right possessed by each voting elector, and to the extent that the importance of his vote is nullified, wholly or in part, he has been injured in the free exercise of a right or privilege secured to him by the laws and Constitution of the United States.

 

Whereas, The votes of over 71 million Americans were diluted in a widespread manner by the voting irregularities and outright voter fraud in key Democrat-run localities.

 

We Therefore petition the Legislatures where such voting irregularities and outright voter fraud occurred to remedy these wrongs by appointing electors to vote for Donald J. Trump.

 

We also implore the courts that are hearing the cases about voting irregularities and outright voter fraud to provide justice to Americans and respect to the Constitution, and to recognize that for there to be respect for the rule of law, there must be consequences for those who violated the law.

Respectfully,
