I put out this impromptu, unscheduled live show today to share some understandings I’d gleaned from people with direct knowledge of this unfolding story.
The Qualified Voter File (QVF) is the database of registered voters and their voting history. Matt DePerno had a post go viral on X today with about 5M views where he said that 114,545 voters on the QVF voted multiple times, resulting in 279,113 votes cast.
He then shared this image, which represents all 29 votes in the QVF that were attributed to a single voter, across multiple addresses. I have the name of this voter, and have been unable to reach him yet.
The addresses strangely include several churches, a vacant commercial building, and commercial buildings, including one leased by Catholic Charities.
Pat Colbeck, Tim Vetter, and The Gateway Pundit rushed to claim this story as their own. One source told me it wasn’t even their research, but that it was researched primarily by Sandy Kiesel and Election Integrity Force.
Right before I went live with this show, Lara Trump posted the following on X:
I am speculating here, but I wonder if Lara didn’t dismiss this because of Colbeck’s and The Gateway Pundit’s involvement. Both have a track record full of wildly false claims and a reputation Trump doesn’t want to involve himself with - to his credit. Was this another Flynn Network catch and kill operation?
The Democrat media apparatus put out a series of conflicting claims in attempts to discredit this story. One claim is that the data omits the “status” column, which fails to address the fact that each entry is marked as recorded vote. Other claims suggest the data are incomplete or manipulated.
Then Secretary of State Benson issued this statement: “Fact Check: Voters can only vote once in every election. A Recent social media post has taken a data report that included formatting errors to incorrectly claim that individual voters were casting multiple ballots in this election. The error has been identified and corrected. Each of these voters only had one vote recorded for this election.”
My response to this was, “If this is true, where are the voters who cast the other 165K ballots? Are you going to remove the overvotes?”
I’ll be updating this story as the QVF updates are analyzed.
