Former U.S Ambassador to Germany and former Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell has alleged election fraud in Nevada as well as the delay in election investigation process as tactics to cover up probable vote rigging.
Grenell has been assisting the Trump campaign with investigations on fraud in the state.
Grenell said what makes the campaign team's case complex is though it has a lot of evidence that can uncover election fraud, such evidence is being held by local government authorities. The Trump campaign cannot have access to the evidence, unless it’s granted to them by those responsible.
“It’s not fair for Clark County officials to say, ‘Where’s your proof?’ when they have the proof, and they’re unwilling to let us have access to it. We recently had a local judge say that our team could go examine the Agilis machine and the information that we were seeking. So we went to Clark County officials expecting to examine the machine and examine votes and signatures. And what we got was a tour of the place. It was not what the judge ordered,” Grennell said in an interview with American Thought Leaders.
This, according to Grenell, is an infringement of people’s rights and abilities to challenge decisions they disagree with in court both on individual and entity basis.
“I’ll say that their story keeps changing. First, they said that there was no fraud, then they said there was no widespread fraud. Now they’re saying that you can’t prove widespread fraud. So they keep changing this information. Really, I think their strategy is to delay as long as they can and run out the clock. And this is a very frustrating process,” the former ambassador said.
He went to shed light on how absentee voting could have been used as an effective tool in vote rigging. States like Ohio and Florida, where Trump won resoundingly, have strict mail-in voting rules in which one has to apply for an absentee ballot and the application must be verified.
“Now the opposite has been happening in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Nevada, where governments, like Clark County, in Nevada, or Detroit, or Philadelphia, were sending out ballots to people on lists that they hadn’t checked,” Greenell said. “And those people had no idea that the ballots were coming. So that’s where we got into a problem where the ballot somehow was put in the mail and somebody filled it out. Then the actual person showed up on election day to vote.”
Grennell said the discrepancies are troubling.
“There’s a discrepancy, and the people at the election site say, ‘Wait a minute, you already voted by mail.’ The individuals will say, ‘No, I didn’t.’ That only can happen when a government sends out a ballot, and someone doesn’t know it’s coming. So we can’t have this current mailing system, where governments are randomly sending out ballots to people who don’t know they’re coming. It creates chaos. States like Ohio and Florida don’t do that, and that’s why there wasn’t chaos there,” added Grenell in the same interview.
