In a 10-page note to Pence dated January 1, 2021, obtained and published on Friday by Politico, his legal team assessed allegations of procedural violations of electoral law and fraud in the 2020 elections in six states. by “the GOP and related plaintiffs.” “In general, there are strong indications that state and local election officials have committed numerous procedural violations that have reduced transparency and / or favored Democratic candidates. “However, most allegations of fraudulent voter fraud – defined as illegal ballot papers in breach of applicable electoral law – are either relatively small in number or cannot be verified,” his legal team said in a statement. The document then describes in detail and responds to specific allegations made about each of the six states. In Georgia, for example, Pence’s legal team looked at the “Trump Campaign Numerical Allegations,” which included allegations that juveniles and criminals serving unpaid sentences voted within the state. His legal team noted before listing the many allegations made by Trump’s campaign that the Vice President’s Office “could not verify them.” In states such as Michigan and Arizona, Pence’s legal team looked at “statistics-based complaints”, noting that they could not verify the reported numbers suggesting possible voter fraud. A person familiar with the document told Politico that he was handed over to the select committee of the Parliament that is investigating the uprising in the Capitol on January 6, 2021 by the Administration of National Archives and Archives. Former Pence’s chief of staff, Marc Short, told the news agency that the vice president’s team’s thinking was in line with what was included in the note. A spokesman for the commission declined to comment to Politico on the matter. Giuliani sued by DC Bar for false allegations of electoral fraud Liz Cheney is not interested in what the Republican thinks in favor of Trump “We often saw the irregularities that occurred during the 2020 election, the fact that the Democrats used the electoral changes that resulted from Covid effectively,” Short told Politico. “But in the end it was important to record the various allegations and where there was solid evidence, or lack thereof, of actual theft.” The new note comes after the commission held the first of a series of public hearings scheduled for this month in prime-time on Thursday. The meeting included testimony from Capitol Officer Caroline Edwards and documentary Nick Quested, as well as excerpts from recorded interviews with Trump officials. The Hill contacted a representative of Pence, the committee and the National Archives and Archives for comment.
