Dear Friends,
It’s been a while. Not because I’ve been taking it easy, but because I’ve been very busy consuming and digesting lots of “information,” and rolling ideas around in my head. This isn’t as long as it looks. Please continue.
I plan on sending the following to our AG-elect (Mike Hilgers) later today or in the morning:
Dear Senator/AG-elect Hilgers,
I wish to address you over a matter of grave importance.
Our founding fathers set out to dissolve their political bands with the Crown, over the right to self-government.
History is very near repeating itself.
We the People, across this state and nation, are being no less denied the right to self-government, because we are being denied the necessary means of self-government (and consent)—transparent and verifiable elections.
In other words, we are without true representation.
It's a no-brainer. It goes without saying. A facade of consent is not the same thing as consent.
An election without all the components of a real election is not an election. It's an act of tyranny. It’s an act of war.
A long series of such acts constitutes “a long train of abuses and usurpations.”
Just to be clear, consent doesn't simply consist in secretly filling in an oval next to a name on a ballot. It also consists in having that oval counted fairly and publicly.
That’s right. Publicly. Counting votes is not the secret affair that casting votes is. Counting votes is, of necessity, a public affair. (The reason is obvious.) And those who would turn it into a secret affair must be regarded as subversives, or worse.
When government repeatedly refuses to give We the People access to our ballots, or to an honest copy of them, or to any of the machine data behind the tabulation, or to anything that would enable us to verify the "results" of our elections, we are getting very near to what I said above—history repeating itself. Do not kid yourself about the nature of the times we are living in.
(Before moving on, let me be clear about one other thing. The honest election of any individual does not mean that individual has our carte blanche consent.)
What am I saying?
I’m saying this. I’m saying an election that is not publicly verifiable is not publicly certifiable. Period. End of story.
It is not incumbent on We the People to prove fraud.
It is incumbent on government to prove there is no fraud, by being transparent.
The refusal to be transparent tells us all we need to know. Criminal activity is happening. There’s no other reason for secrecy in this context.
A government that repeatedly refuses to do its duty, that repeatedly refuses to be transparent (when there is no reason for secrecy), that repeatedly refuses to serve We the People, must be regarded as tyrannical and a serious threat to ALL our other rights.
I’m saying that anyone who partakes in the pending “certification” must be regarded as a traitor.
Yes, a TRAITOR.
I’m also saying that everyone who took an oath and refuses to interpose, like this man did...(2 min)
...or like this woman did...
(2 min)
…must also be regarded as a TRAITOR.
These are serious times. We are on one side or the other. There is no middle ground. If someone is not overtly on the side of right and righteousness, they are a traitor.
If someone still lacks backbone and courage after watching those two videos, here’s some additional psychological healthfood:
Moving on from the What to the Why.
Why are we in this predicament?
I’ll put it bluntly. Because Gale (our former Secretary) and Evnen (or present Secretary) both sold us out for immoral and unconstitutional love affairs.
Our State Constitution (I-22) says, "there shall be no hindrance or impediment to the right of a qualified voter to exercise the elective franchise."
State statute (32-207) says the duty of our county election officials is to administer "fair and open elections free from outside influence."
Instead of enforcing those laws, Evnen acts in opposition to them. He serves as both a direct hindrance and impediment to exercising our elective franchise, and as a primary source of subversive outside influence in our elective franchise.
How so?
Evnen renewed a contract with a private predatory company of unknown/secret ownership to “manage” our county elections and “count” our votes using secret software.
There may be laws that prohibit felons from voting, but there are no laws prohibiting felons from owning vote-counting companies and/or “counting” votes. (Hence the need for transparency in ownership.)
We all know the old saying, it’s not who votes, but who counts the votes (and how they count them).
By contracting with this secret predatory company, Evnen followed Gale’s lead and continued the subversion of local election control and integrity and the imposition of dependency on very expensive (but very cheaply built) s-election machines that none of our counties understand and most of our counties cannot afford.
Evnen continued Gale’s hijacking and centralizing of our county elections, making it very easy for bad actors to manipulate votes and inject fraud state wide.
No one, not Gale (our former SoS), not Evnen, nor any of the other people involved in the process of selling us out to ES&S asked any critical questions about the machines…their reliability, longevity, maintenance needs/costs, accuracy, results-verification features, supply chain security, guarantees, etc., etc.
Neither Gale nor Evnen could wait to indulge in an unconstitutional love affair with the machines, because they were/are lazy. (And who knows what the kickbacks were.)
Here’s the sad part.
The machines were totally and completely unnecessary. They were an obscene waste of multiplied tens of millions of hard-earned NE taxpayer dollars.
Quoting a 2017 task force paper put out by Gale:
Tabulating paper ballots by hand for each candidate and issue is the oldest tabulation method since the switch to the secret ballot in the late 1800s. Although this method is archaic, it has continued to be used through modern times. Notably, the Dutch government will be counting all their ballots for the 2017 election by hand amidst fears of election hacking. ... Hand counting paper ballots takes a significantly longer period of time [not if decentralized and done at the precinct level] than employing optical scanners. In addition, hand counting results in higher error rates than using optical scanners [we don’t know what the error rates of the scanners are, and hand counts are error free when done under HD video so anyone and everyone can verify]. However, the major advantage of hand counting is that it is not prone to computer hacking concerns …
Hand counting is comparatively cheaper [much cheaper] than all of the costs associated with utilizing electronic machines, despite the increased labor needs.
Moving on to another unconstitutional love affair.
Evnen also has an unconstitutional love affair with mail-in voting.
He would love to go to all mail-in voting, because it’s easier.
There’s just one serious problem with mail-in voting. There’s zero chain of custody in it.
In a court of law when evidence breaks chain-of-custody, it is no longer admissible. Why should our vote be treated with any less respect?
Nevermind the unlawful electioneering that takes place through mail-in voting…
…or the unreliability and untrustworthiness of the USPS. (Save this article for later reading: https://operationsunlight.com/2022/11/23/usps-whistleblowers/)
The fact of the matter is, we don’t have a public servant in the Secretary’s office. We have a liar, an abuser, an oath-breaker, a traitor and a con man (endorsed by the RINO swamp, no less).
We have a relative of Pinocchio:
When Evnen told KETV back in April that he had conducted an investigation into the 2020 election, I called his bluff with a formal Public Records Request (for a copy of his investigative report). Turned out he was blatantly lying.
That’s when my friends Patrick Peterson and Jonathon Goodro decided to make this great video. (Thank you, Patrick and Jonathon.)
(2 min)
The fact of the matter is, Evnen doesn’t care about the people of Nebraska or election integrity.
The fact of the matter is, our elections are secret in ways they should be open, and open in ways they should be shut. And Evnen supports these perverted inversions.
I’ll leave you with this article, that was brought to my attention after I wrote what I did above. It ties back to what I said at the beginning.

I’ll also leave some additional resources and quotes in the postscript. I strongly encourage watching the short videos and reading all the quotes from Bev Harris, author of the book Black Box Voting and the website blackboxvoting.org.
God bless,

Here’s a transcript of a very important short interview with Bev Harris, a Democrat and huge election integrity advocate:
http://www.wheresthepaper.org/09/OpEdNews091221BBV_DOJ_AntiTrustProbeOfESS.htm.
I strongly suggest reading the whole article (it’s short), but here are some quotes:
…ES&S has been price-gouging and strong-arming local officials into "take it or leave it" clauses in contracts. If there isn't enough competition, it leaves election officials with no choices, no bargaining power, and no leverage to enforce quality controls or fairness.
…
If you conceal essential steps in a public election from the public, it ceases to be public. And if you cease having public elections, you no longer have liberty -- a violation of our highest-level human rights.
...
…we need to keep our eye on the ball: We need to restore public right to see and authenticate every step of elections. I can't emphasize enough how dangerous the situation is right now: We have destabilized our form of government through centralization of control, and we have transferred power to insiders by authorizing undemocratic concealment of public election processes.
...
Because we cannot see electrons, computerized counting conceals an essential step in public elections and therefore violates public right to know. Concealed vote counting systems have been deemed unconstitutional by the German equivalent of our Supreme Court, which has ruled that no public election can conceal any essential step in the election from the public.
...
…it's even more important to view all election issues within the context of inalienable rights, that is, the public right to examine and authenticate every step of its public elections. It is the "public" nature of elections, and the public controls, which differentiate a real democratic system from a false one.
..
There has been an effort … to redirect arguments away from our inalienable rights and over to mechanics. In other words, instead of stating that the public has a right to see and authenticate every step of the election, we're told that having a "paper trail" will "ensure that elections are accurate and free of fraud."
We need to train ourselves to use the words "public" and "rights" every time we talk about elections. Learn the rights arguments (public right to see and authenticate every essential step of public elections). Practice using them when writing letters to public officials and always state the human rights framework when speaking with reporters.
Public elections, after all, are the consummation of our inalienable right to liberty. Whether we are talking about antitrust investigations or missing absentee ballots or strange impossible numbers, in every case we should insert the rights framework for our concerns. And using that framework means consistently using the words "public" and "right" in our communications.
From Bev Harris again, on Trump (I remind you she’s a Democrat):
“Frankly, although the media kind of sat on [Trump] pretty hard for saying he wouldn’t necessarily accept the results, it is ridiculous to say that a candidate or the public has to accept votes it can never verify,” she says. “We absolutely have the right to verify the count and to verify the results we are told are true.”

About ES&S tabulation problems…from the book Black Box Voting:
According to The Wall Street Journal, in the 2000 general election an optical-scan machine in Allamakee County, Iowa, was fed 300 ballots and reported 4 million votes. The county auditor tried the machine again but got the same result. Eventually, the machine’s manufacturer, ES&S, agreed to have replacement equipment sent. Republicans had hoped that the tiny but heavily Republican county
would tip the scales in George W. Bush’s favor, but tipping it by almost four million votes attracted national attention.
“We don’t have four million voters in the state of Iowa,” said Bill Roe Jr., county auditor.
Todd Urosevich of ES&S said “You are going to have some failures.”
Here’s an important quote from Bennie Smith on election verification:
“The core problem for our fragile elections framework is secrecy: withholding from the public the evidence needed to authenticate whether results are true.”
https://benniesmith.com/election-integrity/
From Joan Brunwasser on verification, co-founder of Citizens for Election Reform (CER)
Our goal: to restore fair, accurate, transparent, secure elections where votes are cast in private and counted in public. Because the problems with electronic (computerized) voting systems include a lack of transparency and the ability to accurately check and authenticate the vote cast, these systems can alter election results and therefore are simply antithetical to democratic principles and functioning.
Last but not least, here’s some history from our SoS office about our transition to machines, and how much it cost compared to how much it used to cost. Eye-opening.

Machines expenses just since 2017 (and these are just the base contracts, there are additional expenses):
No length of thanking you will be fully conveying my appreciation to you, Robert. Thank you! ESSstoleMy.vote and still does. ESSstealsOur.vote (There are two similar URLs you could buy last I checked: ESSstealsThe.vote and ESSstoleThe.vote. I hope they'll go to patriots like you!)
You have a presence and sincerity of presentation that I don't have - particularly when I know I have only 5 minutes or less and can observe most of them squirming, scoffing, unbelieving, even put out that a citizen would not rubber stamp their actions, and/or words - daring to talk of the Constitution and oaths of office. Particularly when refuting the constant use of the words of "our democracy, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, LGBTQ , Gender Identity, .....!
You may be right - and it wouldn't surprise me if they would call you out of order for using Christian words, concepts, and testimony. They seem to answer to other voices. But They may just set like frogs on a log - just waiting the clock out! But that does expose them to some of us!
