Letter: We want our votes back

Dear Editor:

While we waited with anticipation for the 2016 results, the ground swell support for Trump grew until we knew he would win the 2020 election. So the cataclysmic turn of events including the ‘made-for-TV’ staged Jan. 6 riots and the refusal to hear any lawsuit with evidence that the election was stolen made me immediately suspect something had happened to our vote.

I met Trump in 2016 at a rally in Buffalo, New York; I read every book he wrote and many written about him. I trust him: he fulfilled his campaign promises then continued meeting honorable goals. When he said that he would likely never accept the legitimacy of the election, I knew the election had been stolen.

I started researching every sourced fact I could find including why the courts refused to hear evidence that the election was stolen. I met with friends who also researched what happened to our election. We formed our local group—Restore America: United. We held public meetings to inform residents we suspected the election was stolen. 

We listened to Retired Air Force Colonel Shawn Smith, Dr. Douglas G. Frank, Mike Lindell, Steve Bannon, Sherronna Bishop,  Debbie Perry-Smith; we researched information distributed by trusted freedom groups such as U.S. Election Integrity Plan (USEIP); and gathered files of sourced evidence proving the election was stolen.  

…and we watched Tina Peters.

Then before the Trusted Build of the Rio Blanco County (RBC) Dominion machine’s operating system, we invited retired Colonel Shawn Smith to attend via Zoom a Commissioner’s meeting, and I called Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters. Smith and Peters advised us to request that our Commissioners write a letter to our County Clerk requesting a delay of the Trusted Build so the  integrity of the Trusted Build could be verified. Our County Clerk denied receiving the letter in time to act on it. 

We attended Dr. Frank’s Zoom meeting at which he explained how he proved pre-set algorithms stole the 2020 elections. Frank’s scientific investigation proved that numerous states throughout America had more registered voters in many counties than eligible voters. Rio Blanco County  was one of those counties. I was on the Zoom meeting and asked Dr. Frank what were the results in RBC — he said 100.7% registered voters — more than if every eligible voter were registered: impossible at more than 100%. 

So we held more public meetings and were trained by the Colorado Concerned Citizens to implement a Voter Integrity Project Survey (Project). Our findings showed fraud — deceased, vacant residents, and out-of-state residents voted. I wrote an article in the Herald Times and Rangely Review presenting our findings. The SOS department wrote a scathing attack of our group and our voter integrity project in an attempt to convince our County residents that our Project was illegitimate. 

We wrote Letters to the Editor responding to the attack. We wrote our Voter Process Proposal and presented it to our Commissioners. We presented a defense of the integrity of hand-counting votes to the Rio Blanco Commissioners. 

In the Tuesday vote addressing the supplemental budget in order to defund the appropriations for Dominion ‘Voting Systems,  Commissioners–Gary Moyer (District 1) and Jeff Rector (District 2) voted in our favor;  Ty Gates (District 3) voted against our favor. Rio Blanco County Clerk and Recorder Boots M. Campbell spoke against our favor, stating lawsuits that the Secretary of State (SOS) might file. This is coercive manipulation.

Create a fear, separate the people, control the communication, you control the people. The SOS is trying to create a fear among Coloradoans, separate those of us who stand for God and America; control the communication through their media and legislative propaganda, so they can control us. 

We, however, work to preserve the integrity of every legal resident’s vote because as Abraham Lincoln said, “Elections belong to the people.”

Respectfully,

Susie Berardi
