BRIBERY
Updated: Apr 9, 2023
I WILL NOW BEGIN TO DISCLOSE violations of Maryland Election Law specifically related to the subject of BRIBERY with attached citings in law.
♦️As I release some of this new information in segments it'll be necessary to return to this blog entry for updates as that information is processed and vetted....and so, I begin FIRST by educating readers on Maryland Election Law then I'll be providing details and examples of fraud and BRIBERY that never gets addressed.
♦️We were the first in the nation to expose the CTCL/ZUCKBUCKS "grants" that flooded Maryland with Dark Money.
♦️Our investigation had already proved the case that the illegal requests by local Maryland County Boards of Election used that money improperly spent it on Get-Out-The-Vote (GOTV) initiatives was illegal AND it violated the Federal RICO Act; long before ANYONE ELSE came along.
Those activities "affected the outcome" of our state's elections and may be viewed as BRIBERY as many individuals named in our investigations were PAID by the Boards of Election to engage in various activities that are not permitted by law.
♦️Our exclusive research formed the basis for that Federal case and Maryland 20-20 Watch is a Plaintiff in that case.
NOW allegations and evidence of BRIBERY (paying for votes) has surfaced in Wisconsin most recently.....
But right here in Maryland, our state has a long history of VOTE BUYING......
Remember that chicken boxes story?
I WAS A PLAINTIFF IN THIS FEDERAL ELECTION CHALLENGE LAWSUIT OVER THOSE "IRREGULARITIES" in 2016. It was DISMISSD by the corrupt Judiciary without EVER REVIEWING THE EVIDENCE.
