Lake County, FL & SOE Alan Hays Election Integrity Watch Page

Updated July 13, 2022 with more details.

The short link to reach this "work in progress" Fiscal Rangers Election Integrity page is:  https://www.fiscalrangers.com/ElectionIntegrity.html 

Created July 8, 2022. More content will be added weekly.  This entire page is the personal opinion of author Vance Jochim.  

Overview: After the 2020 Elections, many patriots and conservatives questioned the legitimacy of the election results nationwide.  Efforts were started in most "battleground" states to re-verify the legitimacy and accuracy of election results, including how drop boxes were used, the validity of voter id checks (such as in Florida), restrictions placed on poll watchers, possible electronic access of voting machines and online registration databases to manipulate them, etc.   This page was created to document the 2020 and later election integrity issues, documentation of abuses, responses of LOCAL Lake County, FL officials when presented with evidence, requests for investigations such as voting machine audits. 

This page was created July 8, 2022 to monitor these areas and more content will be added weekly. Scroll down to find the sections listed below.

2022-07-12 - Lake County, FL Supervisor of Elections (SOE) Alan Hays is accused in this FloridianPress.com article of "illegal electioneering" as Lake County Republicans will soon decide on requesting Gov. Ron DeSantis to remove him. Hays has refused to investigate many potential vote fraud issues presented to him by Lake Countians after the 2020 Elections, so they keep investigating, and another issue bubbled up in this article from the floridianpress.com about being biased against candidates.

Read it, and keep watching for more... I have been to several community meetings with Hays where he resists any request to audit the ES&S voting machines, or investigate why many people register at same addresses but don't live there, etc. He just won't take the requests seriously. Lake County Politics, Lake County Word Of Mouth https://floridianpress.com/2022/07/lake-county-supervisor-of-elections-alan-hays-accused-of-illegal-electioneering/

2022-07- 07  Florida's Pete Antonucci was appointed by Gov. DeSantis to run the new Florida Office of Election Crimes & Security.  https://www.politico.com/newsletters/florida-playbook/2022/07/07/floridas-election-police-gets-its-chief-00044400?nname=florida-playbook&nid=0000014f-1646-d88f-a1cf-5f46b4500000&nrid=0000016e-f5d5-d5bb-adef-f5d53fc50000&nlid=630310 

2022-06-28 The Lake County, FL Republican Party met and unanimously voted to create a resolution to be sent to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis requesting that he REMOVE Lake County Supervisor of Elections Alan Hays due to his lack of actions on evidence related to voting machine and other local 2020 elections irregularities.  Details will be added here when the resolution is passed at the July meeting and printed.  Note:  It is important to note that the Florida Statutes defining duties of the office of County Supervisors of Elections does NOT contain any provisions to initiate recalls of those officials.  (Update July 12, 2022) - this resolution may be delayed while waiting for the Governor to respond to Florida voter fraud evidence and a request to investigate the issues, including those in Lake County.)

============================================================

2. Master list of known election integrity issues from all states, Florida and Lake County, and results of investigations. Lake County SOE Alan Hays has not taken many of these seriously, in my opinion.

• Fake Registrations for voters
  • Fake registrations by manual or electronic means, thus allowing later fake votes. See ERIC, below.
• Vote by mail process issues. Mail-in ballots are considered to be the biggest source of fake votes and DefendFlorida.org has a petition you can sign to get them eliminated or significantly reduced.  https://www.defendflorida.org/petition  
• Dropboxes and abuses (see movie 2000Mules.com ) .   

  • "LCREC Resolution 21-005 - "Demanding Dropbox Law Clarification" - Dropbox usage is a practice which is questioned by many voters and is viewed as a weakness in the voting system.  The use of observers at dropboxes was not mentioned in the Florida elections statutes, thus this resolution DEMANDS legislation or administrative action to clarify enforcement measures at dropboxes and allow for observers to monitor dropbox operations."  Sent to the Florida Governor & Legislators in Sept. 2021 by the Lake County Republican Party.  Website source:  https://www.lakecountyrepublicans.org/resolution   

  • Note: Later in the 2021 Florida legislative session, they approved a law that greatly restricted the use of Dropboxes, and required some controls.  Sourcelink: To be added.
•  ERIC - a central US database used by 30+ states is purported to compare vote registrations between states to identify duplicates and notify states to clean them up.  However, George Soros has funded the program and there is some evidence that the ERIC software is actually used to create new, FAKE registrations in state databases so they can later be used to vote fraudulently, then the fake registrations are later removed.  Efforts are in place to demand Florida and other states withdraw from ERIC.  
  • On April 26, 2022, the Lake County Republican Executive Committee unanimously passed a resolution requesting the Florida Senate Committee on Elections and Ethics and Governor DeSantis' newly formed Office of Election Crimes and Security investigate and examine the efficacy of the Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) known as ERIC (Electronic Registration of Information Center). 
• Voting site abuses, such as approving voters whose ID does not match SOE records.  This is a bigger issue because the Lake County SOE will not permit pollwatchers to get close enough to staff verifying ID's (required in Florida) to verify the ID DID match the computer records.  
• Busing in voters should be documented and prevented if they are not from the area and not eligible to vote, but they have been given ID's approved for voting.
• Physical and electronic controls are needed over voting machines to ensure they are not connected to ANY outside source after hours using embedded phone modems or internet wifi connections.  
• Voting Machine Integrity:  Using voting machines (ES&S in Lake County, but Dominion in many other Florida counties) that can be accessed electronically via phone modems or other methods to change vote counts. Below is a resolution published by the Lake County Republican Party in 2021.  Not one elected official has responded or acted on it, except Gov. DeSantis created a new Office of Election Integrity & Security discussed elsewhere in this document. 

  • LCREC Resolution 2021-001: “Demanding a Forensic Audit of the Nov. 3, 2020 Election":  Many voters are concerned that the Nov. 3, 2020 election was inaccurate due to many reports, and court and legislative hearings since that date (see links and attachments below).  This is a commendation and support for Lake County’s Florida House District 32 Representative Anthony Sabatini’s efforts and his bill HB-99 (Forensic Audit of the 2020 General Elections) requesting the Florida Governor appoint an independent third party to conduct a forensic audit of the 2020 general election for every Florida County over 250,000 in population (which includes Lake County).  The LCREC resolution calls for every elected official to support the bill and demand they support full, independent forensic audits of all elections in every state and other specified actions.

• Ignorance of sound computer data controls, such as control totals, and the need to implement them. (I am a retired, Certified Information Systems Auditor and former anti-corruption manager).  For instance, are the totals for all the County voting machines compared to voting results shown by the state or press. Alan Hays told me once he is not responsible for that.  Thus he does not verify that actual local vote totals match what is used by the state or press to show grand vote totals.  Are the totals forwarded to the State for Lake County electronically manipulated by software or in the code at the state to distort the final results.  We were told that the Lake County SOE, Alan Hays, does NOT have any information systems security staffers who would know these practices or how to detect and prevent modification of electronic vote and other data.  They apparently rely on the Florida Secretary of State's recommended procedures and those from the VOTING MACHINE vendors (ES&S in Lake County, and Dominion in many other counties).  NO BANK would ever do that.  Why would SOE's not use data security professionals to verify voting data at the county level?
• Refusal by the SOE to comply with regulations to clean voter rolls of dead people, those that moved, etc. as required by the state. Evidence has been collected that Alan Hays has not been doing that according to our sources who have details on voters who were dead for many years, and the SOE does not clean them, even if told about it.
• Zuckerbucks - Facebook Mark Zuckerburg distributed over $400-million to many local County Supervisor of Elections, including Lake County, FL which got over $200,000 in funds and Alan Hays spent (we have his report back to Zuckerburgs funding agency that shows the details of the spending, including one or more dropboxes.  As of 2022, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis issued a rule forbidding SOE's to accept such funds from non-government agencies, which were used in heavy Democrat areas to get out the vote just for Democrats and Biden. 
• Lack of independent observers of vote handling processes within the Lake County, SOE offices.  The Lake County Republican party on Sept. 30, 2020 sent a resolution to the Florida Governor and Legislators to request that pollwatchers also be allowed inside SOE offices to verify workflow such as opening and recording vote by mail ballots, which currently are not observed by independent observers.  Why restrict observers from the headquarters vote processing systems?  

  • LCREC Resolution 21-004 - "Demanding Observers be Allowed in the County Elections Superintendent Vote Counting Facilities (besides just voting sites)":  Many aspects of the Florida County election process are conducted in the County Superintendent of Elections (SOE) facilities which are NOT observed by poll watchers.  This resolution DEMANDS Florida Legislative or Administrative direction be taken to allow observers in the counting facilities to monitor all aspects of ballot processing.  

• Extension of vote counting after the official end of voting date.   This has been happening in other states - we have not seen it in Lake County, BUT we have witnessed big flips in votes just before the closing of voting.  That situation was claimed to be the result of mail in ballots beeing "dropped" into the counts at the last minute.  Thus there need to be rules that establish an earlier date for all mail in ballot totals to be entered.  IE voters and staff need new rules that cutoff any receiving and posting of mail in ballots two days or more BEFORE the official final voting day for in person voting. 
• Abuse of Senior, nursing home and retiree homes residents' votes - where it has been documented that:
  • 1) Vote harvesters visit the homes and register residents and "help" them fill out ballots, then take the votes for them to a dropbox. Magically, the ones for mentally ill patients might all be registered and vote for one party.  This is supposed to be illegal. 

    • LCREC Resolution 21-003 - "Demanding Legislation to Secure Proper Voting Procedures in Senior Care Facilities":  190,000 Florida elderly live in senior care facilities which provide ample possibilities for abuse of the election process.  This resolution DEMANDS that legislative or administrative directives be provided to ensure no senior living facility staff influence or complete elderly patient election ballots.

  • 2) Fake voter registrations use the nursing home address, and are later voted by other means when there is no such person at the home.  In Lake County, FL, election integrity teams have visited a number of such homes, asking the Administrative Manager to confirm that all voters using that address actually live there.  They usually find 3 or more that were not recognized by the staff.   So rules are needed to develop procedures to DETECT such false registrations and votes and investigate them before the close of voting.

3. Evidence & Reports of improper election situations just related to Lake County, FL or Florida.

The Lake County, FL Election Integrity Committee has gathered many details and have presented them at various community meetings in Lake County.  We have videos of many of these presentations on our Rumble.com/FiscalRangers account (YouTube has been removing them and issuing strikes to FiscalRangers on YouTube).

2000Mules - Documentary by Dinesh D'Suza of how dropboxes were abused in the 2020 elections in many states.  Based upon massive evidence collected by True the Vote.

RIGGED2020 (40 minutes)- The Zuckerberg Funded Plot to Defeat Donald Trump investigates Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s role in the 2020 elections. Rigged looks at the nearly $400 million Zuckerberg spent nationally in voter operation efforts, particularly in the battleground states of Wisconsin, Arizona, and Georgia. 42,000 votes in those three states are the reason Joe Biden is president.  NOTE:  Leftists and social media have created all sorts of fake or alternate "Rigged" movies, thus you can't find it with a search.  You have to go to the producer's website and pay to watch it:  https://citizensunitedmovies.com/programs/rigged-zuckerberg-funded-plot-defeat-donald-trump?categoryId=108543   

Note: Zuckerberg gave $XXX to the Lake County, FL Supervisor of Elections, Alan Hays.  However, in 2022, FL Gov. Ron DeSantis passed an executive order banning any acceptance of funds from outside entities like the two non-profits that funneled the "Zuckbucks" to Supervisor of Elections nationwide. 

TrueTheVote.org  - longtime election integrity group based in Texas and run by Catherine Engelbrecht.  They developed the evidence used by Dinesh D'suza for the above 2000Mules documentary.  Due to social media censorship, they moved their online forum to the Locals website, and you can sign up on the main page to get notices from it.   

Join Canvassing teams that select addresses from official state registration databases that show multiple voters registered at the same address.  You would visit homes or elder care type facilities and ask the residents to review your list of multiple (over 10) voters at that address to confirm they actually lived there.  Lake County residents can join the canvassing teams run by the Lake County Election Integrity Committee at XXX.  Floridians should visit https://www.defendflorida.org/home and review the sebsite and sign up as a volunteer to do canvassing.  Why? Voter databases show up to several thousand "voters" registered at the same address including vacant lots or even the HQ of the county Supervisor of Elections (6000 in Miami-Dade County, and 32 in Lake County).  These reviews develop the evidence to justify removing SOE's who had no system to detect and prevent such fake voters.

Florida Office of Election Crimes & Security, was established by Gov. Ron Desantis, and on July 7, 2022 Florida's Pete Antonucci was appointed by Gov. DeSantis to run the new Office of Election Crimes & Security. We don't have further details on the department, but will follow up.

CPI - Conservative Partnership Institute & Election Integrity Network - is an umbrella organization setting up various conservative interest programs mostly run by former Trump staffers.   One related to election integrity is

• Election Integrity Network: Cleta Mitchell, the veteran lawyer who supported Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election, joined CPI and launched the Election Integrity Network (EIN) in early 2021, after resigning as a partner with the international law firm Foley and Lardner. As described in reports by the New York Times and ABC News, CPI’s EIN is working with groups like Tea Party Patriots to create “permanent election integrity coalitions in eight target states.” 
• EIN had a conference in Orlando in early 2022 run by Cleta Mitchell with founders Jim DeMint (former founder of Heritage Action Sentinels) and Mark Meadows.  I (Vance Jochim) attended the event and they provided good info to many Florida activists from Heritage Action, and county Republican groups, but they refused to talk about auditing the 2020 elections, which angered a number of attendees and to me is a big red flag.  Here are links to two articles on CPI that give a more in-depth view:

9. Responses of Florida & Lake County Officials when presented with evidence of election fraud.

The Lake County, Florida SOE, Alan Hays has refused to discuss many local or external evidence of potential abuses in the vote process. 

All five Lake County Board Commissioners have been asked to see evidence prepared by the Lake County Election Integrity Committee, and all but Doug Shields have made time and been presented with the details.  However, the Board has no real authority over separately elected Constitutional Officers like the SOE, EXCEPT they can restrict their budgets or use their bully pulpit to get the SOE to cooperate more or send requests to the legislature or Governor for action.

The new Florida Office of Election Crimes & Security created by Gov. Ron DeSantis just got their new Director,  Pete Antonucci, appointed on July 7, 2022, so the Lake County Election Integrity Committee will be contacting them to request an investigation of the Lake County voting systems. 

As noted above, the Lake County Republican Party sent five resolutions to the Governor and legislators and the Republican Party of Florida, and no real direct response was received by them.  In my opinion, they are all circling the wagons and do not want to confront a possible huge embarrassment.  

The FDLE, or Florida Dept. of Law Enforcement, was contacted but no response yet.

============================================================

20. Actions you can take as a conservative Republican (we never have seen Democrats concerned with Election Integrity) ...  

• Join TrueTheVote.com which has a national election fraud hotline you can call.
• Check out the ProtectAmerica.vote website - set up by Pinal County, AZ County Sheriff, Mark Lang, in coordination with TrueTheVote.com (above). Learn how to use their election integrity hotline to report election and voting integrity discrepancies and issues.  Both group hotlines bypass less efficient or poor local hotlines (like those reporting to local SOEs). Their website has a place to sign up for their program PLUS also fill out a form to connect and encourage your local Sheriff to join their program.   Here is an overview of this hotline program to educate local sheriffs and provide a national hotline by YouTube's "Facts Matter by Roman Balmakov": https://youtu.be/osgXyv72nw8 . 
• Visit https://fl.the-peoples-audit.org/ and enter your information to determine if your vote was ACTUALLY recorded in the actual 2020 Election database.  Why?  A fake voter could have hijacked your registration information and sent in a mail-in ballot which is recorded as YOUR vote, then when you vote in early voting or voting day, that does not count.  This website was developed to let you check if your actual vote was counted vs one submitted by mail, dropbox, etc. Share this site with friends, relatives, and others so they can also double-check if their vote was actually counted or superseded by another vote in your name. 
• Join your local Republican Party and get info on their process for monitoring pollwatcher reports.
• Join the Republican Party of Florida (RPOF) which also will have hotlines with attorneys to take your call to report a questionable practice you see related to election or voting integrity. 
• JOIN the groups listed in section 8 to get notices about election integrity you will never see on the main stream media or from most local politicians or the Byden administration.  This is my number one recommendation to avoid being brainwashed. Don't believe "fact checking" details posted in social media. Develop your own conservative and election integrity news sources as I list in section 8.  
• Research your local officials, and send election integrity questions and issues to them for a response. Set them up in your email contacts database and send them action requests based upon your conservative news sources. ASK your local SOEs and STATE legislators if they have seen the 2000mules movie and what they have done to improve vote integrity. 
• Research Florida's new Office of Election Security and how to report election discrepancies to them for investigation.  An example is when you get someone else's new voter ID card when they don't live at your address.  As of July 14, 2022, thee is no website for them yet, but attorney Pete Antonucci has been appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis to run the group.  
• Review your local county Supervisor of Elections website, get their contact info, and also send them comments and action requests.
• Review the nationwide issues lists, and send recommendations and public document requests to local SOEs and officials on those topics to keep them aware of issues and the public is watching.
• As you find disturbing articles, and evidence of election wrongdoing, send emails to officials asking them to respond on what they are doing in your county and state to prevent election abuses.
• Join the local Republican Party, and other local or national conservative groups to get informed on actions needed and events (such as True the Vote). 
• CALL your local officials and make appointments to meet and talk about these issues.  Keep the topic of election integrity at the top of their mind.  Send them links to news stories about election fraud or hearings. 
• Send US, fiscalrangers.com, your recommendations for new election integrity topics or comments to [email protected] or post a comment in the available section at the BOTTOM of this page.

Our other FiscalRangers.com social media:

• YouTube - over 600 videos of local political and government events since we started in 2006.  Very few videos have been posted to YouTube since early 2022 due to their censoring and removing content critical of the 2020 elections and other Communist-opposed issues.  We now upload most videos to our Rumble channel.  Note:  Right now, July 8, 2022, YouTube has cut off our video account because we uploaded a video OVER a YEAR ago on the 2020 elections integrity, which they REMOVED.  Our account should be reinstated in a few days. 
• Facebook GROUPS:  https://www.facebook.com/groups/FiscalRangers  Used to post info on non-censored topics such as Lake County government meetings and news.
• Twitter - exists, but no longer used due to censorship.
• Rumble - Most new videos are now posted here, including topics on elections, ocean rising, etc. that are banned on YouTube and Facebook. https://rumble.com/fiscalrangers 
• Email list:  We are revising our master email list.  One reason is that EMAIL providers like Embarqmail filter out our emails which then do not reach their customers.  They did that years ago due to some articles I wrote about sensitive ethnicities and they added my email account to filter databases to be suppressed. To be added to our new email list, send an email to [email protected]     
• This FiscalRangers.com website uses the Typepad.com website platform, not WordPress (which also suppresses and censors conservative content).  We have not had one article censored by Typepad.
