These voters were seen \u201cattending weddings, riding their bikes, going on vacation and otherwise [being] anything but confined.\u201d Yet they evaded the rigorous ID checks required for in-person voting.<\/p>\n<p>The number of \u201cindefinitely confined\u201d voters in Wisconsin almost <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>led from 2019 to 2020, when 200,000 people took advantage of relaxed voter-ID laws due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis 130,000-vote increment of new indefinitely confined voters is more than five times the Biden victory margin in Wisconsin.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Across battleground states, relaxed ID requirements for mail-in and absentee ballots \u201cdisproportionately benefited [Biden] because President Trump had a much higher percentage of in-person voters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report also cites indications of ballot harvesting \u2014 for instance, 25,000 ballots requested from nursing-home residents in Pennsylvania at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>In Nevada, it claims Native Americans were \u201cbribed\u201d to vote by Biden operatives with Visa gift cards, jewelry and other swag.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the biggest \u201ctell\u201d that something was amiss was the obstruction of Republican poll watchers in Georgia, Michigan and Pennsylvania, where they claim they were denied entry to ballot-counting centers or \u201cdirected to stand at unreasonably lengthy distances from ballot counters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whether or not you think the skepticism of half the country is \u201cloony,\u201d only a bipartisan and transparent investigation of these allegations will allow the country to move on with some semblance of the \u201cunity\u201d Biden claims to desire.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Assange_is_due_a_pardon\"><\/span>Assange is due a pardon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If President Trump is planning to issue more pardons, there are few people more deserving than WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, currently languishing in London\u2019s Belmarsh prison pending extradition to the US.<\/p>\n<p>An extraordinary audio recording released yesterday by <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.projectveritas.com\/news\/exclusive-project-veritas-releases-audio-of-assange-warning-u-s-government\/\">Project Veritas<\/a> shows how Assange tried to minimize the risk to individuals of government leaks to his organization.<\/p>\n<p>He is heard warning a State Department attorney in 2011 that a rogue former WikiLeaks employee is planning to publish damaging classified material.<\/p>\n<p>Assange\u2019s real crime is that he released stolen Democratic National Committee e-mails that were damaging to Hillary Clinton before the 2016 election.<\/p>\n<p>The deep state will never forgive him, which is why Trump should.\n            <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
