"Election Integrity" Form Letters Coming in Droves.....

The Flavor of the emails is:  Angry....

My County Commissioner Email inbox is getting inundated with "form" emails from all across the state--desperately seeking help in conducting a "full forensic audit" of the 2020 election.  

Each one is slightly different--these senders have obviously been coached not to do a "copy and paste" job.  Some have extensive lists of news-site links, some have personalized greetings, others discuss differing opinions on the validity of the software used in the election, but they all have one common ask:  A demand for a full and complete, forensic audit of Florida's 2020 election.

Here is the flavor of what these emails look like:


"Good morning,

 As a Florida voter, I am writing to express the many concerns I have about our past elections. 

 In particular, the Dominion (ES&S) voting machine software that was used throughout the state have been found to be easily hackable even when not online. Then, they transmit results via internet connection, leaving them wide open for hackers to have a field day. No election that uses computers to count votes is secure. Furthermore, because the machines are proprietary, they cannot be reviewed by We the People. We want transparency. How are we supposed to use blind faith and trust our most sacred constitutional right is secure?  We want proof our elections were safe.

 Additionally, the voter rolls are a mess and have been for a long time. Statistical analysis of voter rolls and registration, population increases, and historical voting trends revealed too many irregularities in counties across Florida, including Escambia, during the 2020 election. Florida canvassers have collected affidavits and found that a large number of deceased voted, phantom (no real person) voted, and people who did not reside at registered address voted. Recounts and partial audits do not catch all these errors. 

 Our elections should be held to the highest standard. We the People are expressing our desire for an independent and full forensic audit of all the paper ballots and machines to allow an opportunity to identify irregularities, provide explanation, and workout issues before the next election. I hope that we can count of your office to support the people’s will.  

Respectfully,

XXXXXXXXXXX

Florida Voter"

48th Coffee with the Commissioner Event Tomorrow Morning!



Tomorrow morning we will have our 48th Coffee with the Commissioner event live on Facebook.

We will be having County Administrator Janice Gilley, Escambia Emergency Manager Eric Gilmore, and Escambia County Supervisor of Elections David Stafford on the live-stream.

We will get an update on the Coronavirus from both Janice Gilley and Eric Gilmore--and then we will discuss the upcoming primary and general elections slated for August 18th and November 3rd respectively.  Specifically, I'll be asking Mr. Stafford how the COVID-19 pandemic is impacting the elections this year and what is being done to ensure safe and accessible elections this year.

Should be a very interesting conversation.

To join the event live Wednesday morning, simply go to https://www.facebook.com/CommissionerBergosh/


"See You" online this Wednesday!
