LAA Praises Gov. DeSantis’s Proposed Election Integrity Reforms

Washington DC — Look Ahead America’s Executive Director Matt Braynard made the following statement in response to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis’s proposed election integrity reforms:

In February, Look Ahead America put forward a set of public policy objectives to fix problems with our election system and restore the public’s confidence in election outcomes.

Florida continues to lead the way in implementing these recommended reforms. They’ve already implemented limit on private funding of elections in legislation that passed earlier this year, and now Gov. DeSantis has proposed two of our additional objectives: strict voter list hygiene procedures and a dedicated office to investigate election crimes.

We encourage other states to follow Gov. DeSantis’ and Florida’s lead.

The complete list of LAA’s election integrity public policy objectives can be found at https://lookaheadamerica.org/integrity.

Look Ahead America Reveals Continued Human Rights Violations of J6 Political Prisoners Held in the DC Prison

Washington DC — Look Ahead America reveals continued human rights violations and inhumane treatment of J6 political prisoners held in the DC prison.

Matt Braynard made the following statement:

New revelations from the family of Jacob Lang, January 6 political prisoner, prove that we must continue to expose the unethical and harsh prison conditions at the hands of the Warden of the DC prison, Wanda Patten, and Director of the DC Department of Corrections, Quincy Booth.

According to the Lang family, Jacob has yet to have a haircut or shave. He continues to be held in solitary confinement. He was placed in “the hole” for asking for a Bible study. His food rations have been cut in half with no fruits or vegetables in his diet and a caloric intake of 500 calories. Prisoners have been subjected to beatings from the prison guards and Jacob was punched in the ribs and maced by guards for singing the National Anthem. Following one of our recent Justice for J6 rallies, these political prisoners were awakened during the night, marched through the jail carrying their mattresses, and taken to the basement where they were confined with no access to a bathroom or water.

We are calling on elected officials to demand access to the prisoners to document their mistreatment and for them to be given appropriate bail.

LAA Research Group Releases “The Antrim Report”

Look Ahead America’s research group today released the Antrim Report, a summary and analysis of the election anomalies that occurred in that county.

Look Ahead America Executive Director Matt Braynard made the following statement:

We are proud to publish this report to set the record straight  about what happened in Antrim County in the 2020 election. Many phony, fraudulent claims about what happened in Antrim county have confused the public and buried a simple truth: the Dominion Voting Equipment machines used in this election should be decertified and replaced with an open source alternative.

From the report’s summary:

On the night of the 2020 General Election, Antrim County went to Joe Biden. This drew immediate scrutiny given that then-candidate Donald Trump had won handily four years earlier. The following day, a corrected count showed that Dominion machines had erroneously underreported Trump and that he had won Antrim County by nearly 6,000 votes.

The Allied Security Operations Group (ASOG), on behalf of DePerno Law, performed an independent investigation in Antrim County.

ASOG claimed that Dominion Voting Systems (DVS) machines in Antrim County intentionally switched votes from Trump to Biden, transmitted the results wirelessly, had an exceptionally high error rate that exceeded certification limits, and illegally wiped the ballot images in violation of state law. Democratic Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, the bipartisan Michigan Senate Oversight Committee, Dominion Voting Systems, and University of Michigan Professor of Computer Science and Engineering Dr. J. Alex Halderman – who performed an independent analysis – concluded that ASOG’s claims had no factual basis for several reasons.

Our analysis of all reports and data showed that, for the most part, the defendants correctly rebutted ASOG’s claims. No evidence suggests that Antrim County’s DVS machines had fraudulent features in their designs, were online, or suffered from wiped ballot images.

Vulnerabilities in the system did exist, however, although mostly due to human error and negligence. Due to missing poll tapes, one local race could not correctly audit or accurately account for 72 ballots. In another race, a 3-ballot discrepancy changed the outcome of the race, with machine error as a conspicuous suspect. That race also had prior scan records erased without explanation. These instances alone should decertify DVS machines.

Furthermore, our research uncovered evidence that Dominion violated its state contract because the tabulators and memory cards failed to store write-in ballot images as specified in contract point 1.1.A.23, they violated the state agreement. These points along with the tabulation errors provide sufficient cause to decertify the DVS machines.

As nobody could view the source code due to DVS products being proprietary, “black box voting” machines, nobody outside Dominion knows for sure what it contains. All of these issues could be resolved through the adoption of open source voting machines, with requirements to archive ballot images and ballot definitions.

LAA Releases Analysis of Abhorrent J6-related Michigan House Resolution

Today, Look Ahead America released an analysis of Michigan House Resolution Ten. From the analysis:

The inflammatory language reveals an overt political bias and the denigration of opposing political viewpoints. The resolution also lacks context in that it only refers to a “violent mob” attacking the United States Capitol Complex. It makes no mention of the majority of peaceful protestors who had no hand in any violence, but rather were seeking representation by their elected servants for their concerns about a federal election. The resolution makes no mention of the fact that many of the peaceful protestors were not only allowed but ushered into the building by police, and the majority of those allowed entry were non-violent.

LAA Releases Analysis of Arizona SB 1241

Today, Look Ahead America released its analysis of Arizona SB 1241.

LAA’s Executive Director Matt Braynard made the following statement on the analysis:

This was a highly contentious voter integrity reform bill. While it failed, we thought it would be worthwhile to give a clear-eyed review of what exactly this legislation attempted to do. It’s our conclusion that despite claims to the contrary, it was a reasonable attempt to improve how elections work in the Grand Canyon state. While we believe much more serious reforms are necessary, not just in Arizona but across the country, this bill certainly did no harm and had many provisions that would go a long way to restoring confidence in the state’s elections.
