Dear Friends,
What are Nebraska county election officials afraid of? What are they hiding? What are they ashamed of?
Are they ashamed of being exposed for not knowing what they’re doing? Or of being exposed for something worse, like a guilty conscience?
I’m getting reports like the following from my friend Greg Epp, Chairman of the Hamilton County Republican Party.
He sent the following to his Hamilton County clerk:
I reread the statute and what I want to be is the designated watcher of the counting of ballots for the Republican Party.
Statute 32-1013 states
“In each counting location, watchers may be appointed to be present and observe the counting of ballots. Each political party shall be entitled to one watcher [at each location]…” [emphasis mine]I believe that designated watchers are entitled to be in the counting room.
This was the clerk’s reply:
Aside from election office staff members and election workers, no one is permitted to be within eight (8) feet of any ballot boxes or within eight (8) feet of any boxes being counted by a counting board. I have the court door strap right at the door way of the Board room so you will have a nice close area to view as a designated watcher.
Thank You for asking. [End]
From Greg to myself:
Bob,
After being rejected by [my county clerk] on Wednesday, I left messages at the Secretary of State office with Ben Larson on Wednesday and Thursday but he did not return my calls. I drove into Lincoln on Friday afternoon and confronted Ben in the SOS office in Lincoln where he denied my right to be in the counting room and confirmed Jill’s position that a seat outside the door was sufficient for the law. [emphasis mine]
[End of Greg's report]
back to me
I have news. A seat outside the door is NOT sufficient for the law. Because a seat outside the door is NOT a position from which to "observe the counting of ballots." How idiotic.
The SoS office continues to deny Watchfulness to Nebraska voters. The SoS office continues to engage in lawfare, obfuscation, outright secrecy and outright denial of our God-given right to choose, in verifiable fashion, OUR government servants.
The secrecy reeks of fraud. What other reason is there for such secrecy?
It brings back memories of Detroit, Michigan (and elsewhere) back in 2020:
The entire “election process” in Nebraska is a charade. Nebraskans need to start waking up, showing up in person, and demanding change, in groups. From history, it only takes 3% of the population to show up and demand change, in order to actually get things changed, according to firebrand and constitutional attorney KrisAnne Hall.
If the kind of nonsense that is going on in our elections were going on in football games (or any other sport), Americans would be up in arms.
Again, only in America do fans demand that officials stop a football game, drag out measuring chains and look at a play 15 times from 6 different camera angles to verify that the right call was made, but shrink from demanding that the right call(s) be verifiably made in our all important elections, where trillions of dollars and millions of American lives hanging in the balance.
"The pen is mightier than the sword, but the TONGUE is mightier than them both put together." –Marcus Garvey
(The tongue communicates spirit and emotion.)
a quick note on a lesser election issue
Of much lesser importance than the integrity of our elections, but still important, is the amount of money we spend on them. The cost for hand counting is so much less it’s not even comparable.
For the sake of election transparency, verifiable election integrity AND economic prudence, we should be demanding that citizens who are willing to participate in their elections be paid well, instead of wasting tens of millions of our hard-earned tax dollars on a private, third-party, for-profit corporation that engages in secrecy, lawfare, intimidation, bullying and gaslighting.
in closing
Our government servants have gotten fat and lazy, if not worse. We must demand change. We must demand the gold-standard in elections—verifiable manual counts. Our future depends upon it.
Every honest, thinking American knows we're being played and we're not going to let it continue.
God bless,

You hit the nail on the head many months back when you called their process “secret”.
The same attitude prevails in county clerks offices around the country. THEY THINK, they’re doing their duty and we are the INTRUDERS.
Keep pushing, because it’s OUR elections! Not some private club.
If they want to play games, maybe just set up several high powered telescopes at the doorway and record every vote from there on videos. That ought to get their attention!
