The 2020 Election Steal Was Built Before COVID – Part II

The 2020 Election Steal Was Built Before COVID – Part II

Sacramento Had Election-System Warning Signs Before CTCL Money Arrived

By Christine Bish

Editor’s note: This follow-up article is a public-record and subpoena-roadmap piece. It does not claim the public record alone proves fraud, vote manipulation, or criminal intent. It argues that documented pre-grant warning signs justify a deeper investigation.

The first article followed the money.

It showed how Zuckerberg/Chan-funded CTCL money entered Sacramento County and helped fund vote-center workers, ballot drop boxes, voter education, polling-place costs, translation, and mail-ballot processing support.

This follow-up asks the question that should come next:

What did Sacramento County already know before that private election money entered the system?

The answer matters because the CTCL grant did not arrive in a vacuum. Sacramento County was already an early Voter’s Choice Act county. It had already moved into mailed ballots, vote centers, ballot drop boxes, centralized processing, and countywide election administration. By 2020, Sacramento was not just participating in California’s new election model. It was one of the counties helping prove the model could run.

And before the CTCL grant was approved, the county already had documented warning signs.

On March 20, 2020, questions were raised to Sacramento County after precinct-level results showed turnout numbers that appeared impossible. Precinct 0011397 showed 175% turnout, with 42 ballots cast and only 24 registered voters. Precinct 0011267 showed 126.81% turnout, with 544 ballots cast and 429 registered voters.

Sacramento County Registrar Courtney Bailey-Kanelos explained that the issue had two parts.

First, Conditional Voter Registration was distorting turnout reporting. Turnout was still being calculated from the 15-day close of registration, but same-day registration added ballots after that date without changing the original registration number used in the turnout denominator. The Registrar described that model as misleading and not an accurate depiction of what was happening at the county level.

Second, the Registrar identified poll-worker ballot-selection error. Poll workers were selecting the first precinct they saw instead of the voter’s correct precinct – and in that primary, also the first party option they saw, which was American Independent.

The Registrar stated Sacramento had seen the same issue in 2018 and had tried to improve training. Her summary was blunt: “Is it normal? Unfortunately yes. Should it be? No.”

That was not a post-election theory. It was a March 2020 warning, during the primary election cycle, before the November election and before the CTCL grant was awarded.

The voter-file side raised separate concerns. In a later email, the Registrar stated Sacramento tracked 177 voter calls, emails, and complaints from December 2019 through March 2020. Of those, 152 voters had been registered with a qualified political party, but after a DMV Field Office transaction their registration changed to No Party Preference. The Registrar said those changes occurred between April 2018 and December 2018, and that DMV updated its application interface in January 2019 to require party selection before moving forward.

That does not mean Dominion changed voter files. The Registrar expressly stated that Dominion does not touch voter files and that voter files and voting systems are separate systems that, by law, cannot interact. That distinction matters.

The issue is not one machine. The issue is a system: voter-file accuracy, DMV registration changes, ballot-style selection, vote centers, mailed ballots, tabulation equipment, vendor updates, cybersecurity, and public reporting.

Then came the Grand Jury.

On March 24, 2020, the Sacramento County Grand Jury issued its report on election security. The report raised concerns about security practices, including vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and multi-factor authentication. It also requested that Sacramento County report back on the results of CyberDefenses review and a U.S. Department of Homeland Security audit by September 30, 2020.

That date matters because it came before the November 2020 general election and before Sacramento County’s CTCL grant was awarded.

The voting-system timeline also matters. In a November 25, 2020 follow-up email, the Registrar disclosed that Dominion staff had installed the D Suite 5.10A update from July 13-17, 2020 for tabulators and reporting, and from August 3-7, 2020 for Accessible Ballot Marking Devices and mobile ballot printers used as vote-center equipment. She also stated Dominion staff had been present for a 5.10 upgrade from November 11-15, 2019, and that Dominion staff were not allowed to do work unsupervised by county staff.

That statement does not prove wrongdoing. It defines the audit trail.

Before private CTCL money funded election workers and infrastructure, Sacramento had voter-file complaints, misleading turnout reporting, repeated poll-worker ballot-selection errors, Grand Jury security recommendations, a cybersecurity review, vendor software updates, and a formal request for DHS-related security results.

The question is no longer whether people had questions after the election. The record shows Sacramento had questions before the grant.

DOJ should subpoena the full March 2020 turnout correspondence, the referenced images and precinct reports, Conditional Voter Registration calculations, ballot-style selection logs, poll-worker training materials, DMV/NPP complaint records, the DMV interface-change documentation, Dominion update records, Grand Jury response files, CyberDefenses records, DHS scheduling communications, and all communications with the Secretary of State before October 2020.

This does not prove fraud.

It proves notice.

Before the CTCL grant arrived, Sacramento County had documented weaknesses in the election model California was about to rely on. If the system was secure, accurate, and properly controlled, the records should prove it. If not, the public deserves to know that before the same model becomes untouchable.

Article 1 followed the money. Article 2 follows the warning signs. The next question is what California knew – and why the DHS assessment was still not completed until after the 2020 election.

    • I WAS IN A CEMETERY { NOT A PLACE I WOULD EVER NORMALLY GO, I JUST WALKED BY AND ENTERED FOR SOME REASON.} IN BLOCK ISLAND AND CAME ACROSS THIS WRITTEN ON A HEAD STONE….THE MAN WAS EPIC. IT MAN SUCH AN IMPRESSION I WROTE IT DOWN FROM A PICTURE I TOOK. I ADMIRE A MAN I NEVER KNEW.

      ** WHEN MEN WERE MEN
      TOMB STONE EPITAPH

      NEAR THIS SPOT (BLOCK ISLAND)
      SAMUEL WHITTMORE
      THEN 80 YEARS OLD
      KILLED THREE BRITISH SOLDIERS
      APRIL 19TH 1775
      HE WAS SHOT BAYONETED AND LEFT FOR DEAD
      BUT HE RECOVERED AND LIVED TO BE 98 YEARS OLD

      THIS IS THE DNA WE NEED TO CONVEY AND NOT THAT OF THE WEAK "EVERYONE GETS A TROPHY" GENERATION WE CURRENTLY TOLERATE..

      THE POINT IS THIS.…LETS GO TO WORK BOYS I AM READY AS I WILL EVER BE.

  1. Until the culprits behind all of these massive fraud are all held accountable, our nation will continue to bleed, its heart stabbed by betrayal by our elected officials.

  2. Good article, but you didn't mention the first house resolution attempted once Pelosi became house speaker in 2019 was to make mail-in ballots the standard for the nation while the stated goal was easier access to voting. The resolution passed the house, but not the senate, but the Democrats through their shenanigans of COVID and corrupt judges got it later anyway.

    • They started planning Covid as soon as they heard that the White Hats of the Intell Community were working on Trump to get him to run. That was around 2014- Fauci was working with Obama and Wuhan.

  3. If you see a bird in the water with webbed feet, a large bill and it quacks at you that doesn't prove it's a duck…

  4. More ballots cast than registered voters….Lmao!….

    Oh, but the most honest elections ever, and the SAVE act is dead…..

    • THE ACT IS ANOTHER LAW…LAWS ARE LIKE ELECTIONS. THE HONEST MAN OBEYS THE LAW. CRIMINALS EXPLOIT LAWS WHEN PUNISHMENT IS A RISK BUT NOT A GUARANTEE.

      MAKE THE PUNISHMENT FOR THE ACT OF TREASON BY ELECTION FRAUD, SWIFT VIOLENT AND TERRIFYING. THE TREASON WILL END ON DAY 2.

  5. The deceiver's minions
    help to usher in his rule.
    They are evil incarnate by inclination
    or by ignorance.
    They glorify infanticide
    and sexual abomination.

    They will be dam ned.

  6. In this I have no doubt. What I am WAITING FOR IS ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE STEAL. It is sedition and treason.

    • BY NOW WE ARE ALL {ALBEIT } COMING TO THE REALIZATION THAT WE HAVE BEEN LIED TO AGAIN.

      NONE OF US WANT TO FACE THE REALITY BUT IN THE FACE OF INACTION JUST WHAT ARE WE TO BELIEVE? THE TRIALS AND ARRESTS OR OUR LYING EYES. AMERICAN J6R'S POW'S WERE HELD AND TORTURED ON OUR SOIL AND TO DATE NOT ONE ARREST. NOT ONE.
      WE HAVE BEEN SHOWN THAT DISSENT OF ANY AND ALL ELECTION FRAUD WILL RESULT IN IMPRISONMENT AND TORTURE EVEN DEATH.

      IRAN AND CHINA DO THIS AND WE ARE OUTRAGED. AND SEND BILLIONS TO SAVE THE INNOCENT…..SIGH

      • I firmly believe all of this “reveal” is not for people like us. There are many of my parents age, even my brothers age, that still believe MSM propaganda. The roll out of truth needs them just as much as all of us with eyes to have seen it. Its like a child coming to the realization there is no Santa Clause. I have a lot of older clients that are not online, even afraid of computers. These lies go back to the 1960’s when people got away with murder. They are bold, they are dedicated to destroy this Republic. They have gotten away with what they have done for a long time. They have infiltrated the 3 branches of government. We are in a war. It will require strong leadership and majority of public support (80%) to recover and correct course.

        • AGREED WE ARE IN A SEA OF INDOCTRINATED SIMPLE MINDED SHEEPLE. IN SOMEONES HOME OR OFFICE WHEN I SEE MSN ON THE TV I JUST WANT TO CRAWL AWAY IN DISGUST….KNOWING THE ABSOLUTE MIND EFFING THAT HAS TAKEN HOLD OF THE CLOWN I AM GOING TO HAVE TO SPEAK WITH. A LONG TIME AGO I USED TO INSTALL SATELLITE AND CABLE IN HOMES SO IMAGINE HOW CORNERED I WAS HAVING AN OPINION AND A JOB TO DO.
          WHEN EVER I SPEAK TO STUPID PEOPLE I HAVE TO TEMPER MYSELF
          * TOO MUCH TRUTH WILL CONFUSE THEM AND THEY REVERT TO THEIR ORIGINAL MINDSET WITH THAT GLAZED OVER LOOK BECAUSE IT IS EASIER AND MAKES THEM FEEL SAFE.

          * I ASK THEM TO TELL ME WHAT THE LEFT IS DOING TO MAKE LIFE BETTER,SAFER,FINANCIALLY BETTER. IF THEY ARE ABLE TO ANSWER WITH EVEN A LIE I AGREE WITH THEM AND POINT OUT AT LEAST ONE PART OF THEIR LIE AS UNSUBSTANTIATED OR MISGUIDED. THIS WAY THEY FEEL WE ARE DIALOGGING AND ESSENTIALLY ON THE SAME SIDE. {EASIER TO CORRECT A FRIEND THAN AN ENEMY}
          TRUMPER AS THEY CALL US OR MAGA…AS IF MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN IS SOME HOW EVIL.
          – PROPAGANDIZED MSM MAKING MAGA A BAD THING WAS JUST PROOF OF THE MINDSET OF THEIR AUDIENCE. BRAIN DEAD AND LAZY SHEEPLE.A MASTER STROKE OF EVIL BUT STILL A MASTER STROKE ON THEIR PART…STUNNING REALLY.

          ANYWAY I TRY TO KEEP IS SHORT AND SIMPLE …MUCH SHORTER THAN MY POSTS ;))

          • You are much kinder than I am. I wont engage what I know is a compromised mindset. I lost what I thought was a valued friend of 25+ years. I was in her wedding! All because of a discussion about BILL GATES! Can you imagine what it would have been with a politician topic? Quite sad but it wasent the friendship I thought it was. So, I dont even make polite anymore. I just stare and walk away. I dont want to engage. What I do want is to influence everyone I know to BUD-LIGHT MSM. Turn off TV. Cancel cable. Its the least we can do to support ending this bullschiff propaganda. We did it over 10 years ago and our lives improved a lot. Our participation in things we love to do increased. Our research during COVID protected our family. Thats all I know…for now!

          • I NEVER PAID FOR TV FROM 99 TO 2023. THEN I SIMPLY HAD NO TV PROGRAMMING AT ALL. APPARENTLY THE PC CAN BE USED FOR OTHER THINGS LIKE RESEARCH…WHO KNEW ;)) MY DR DID NOT HAVE THE CLOT SHOT SO I WAS SPARRED 2018….AS YOU SAID SUBSEQUENT RESEARCH POINTED TO THE PERILS OF THE SHOT,TIME TOLD THE REST OF THE STORY. STILL PEOPLE PROUDLY SPEAK OF GETTING IT AND SAY IT SAVED THEM FROM ” THE WORST SYMPTOMS” A VACCINE THAT DOES NOT PREVENT OR PROTECT THE PATIENT NOR DOES IT PREVENT THE PATIENT FROM TRANSMITTING IT,IS NOT A VACCINE. COVID IS 15,000 YEARS OLD AND MUTATED 23 TIMES IN A MATTER OF 3 YEARS AND ERADICATED THE FLU. BIG PHARMA CURED IT IN A YEAR. THE ONLY VIRUS IN HISTORY TO DO THAT…EVER. BIDEN GOT MORE VOTES THAN ANYONE IN HISTORY TO DATE….WHEN THESE KINDS OF LIES ARE REPEATED IT MAKES YOU WEEP FOR THE COUNTRY AND THE CHILDREN THAT HAVE TO INHERIT THIS INSANITY.
            IN SHORT I AGREE WITH YOU AND I TOO HAVE LOST DECADES OLD FRIENDSHIPS. LIFE IS TOO SHORT FOR THOSE KINDS OF RELATIONSHIPS. FARE WELL D B ;))

    • A CRIME WRITTEN,APPROVED AND INSTITUTED BY THE BUSH FAMILY AS EVIDENCED IN HIS ACTIONS. THE "MAN" WAS TOO STUPID TO BE PRESIDENT HE WAS SHAPED,TRAINED AND INSTALLED IN ORDER FOR 911 TO TAKE PLACE. WAG THE DOG THE MOVIE IN REAL TIME….RIGHT DOWN TO THE PATRIOTIC SONGS TO APPEAL TO THE MASSES AND BIND THEM TO HATE AN ENEMY THAT WAS ALSO FICTION.
      DONT GET ME WRONG …ALL THE SAND PEOPLE NEED BE ERASED. BUT ONE TERRORIST DID NOT DO 911 WITH A BAND OF BOX CUTTERS AND VIRGINS. CHICAGO COMMODITIES MARKET FOR SOME REASON HAD ALL OF ITS DATA STORED IN BUILDINGS THAT TERRORISTS HAVE TRIED TO BOMB 4 TIMES BEFORE THAT 911. WORLD WIDE COMMODITIES TRADED WHILE AMERICANS LOST TRILLIONS ON POSITIONS THAT WERE ACTIVELY TRADED OUTSIDE OF AMERICA.

      EVERY TIME THEY STEAL THE HAUL GETS BIGGER

      *SAVINGS AND LOAN SCANDAL-The most notorious figure was Charles Keating, whose Lincoln Savings and Loan Association in Southern California collapsed in 1989
      * BLACK MONDAY- 1987 MILLIONS
      * 911 -TRILLIONS
      *2008 HOUSING CRISIS – HUNDREDS OF TRILLIONS
      * COVID SCAMDEMIC……AN ENTIRE COUNTRY AND TRILLIONS.

      TO NAME A FEW AND THE CRIMINALS MURDER AND BILK AMERICA OUT OF TRILLIONS

  7. And San Francisco just gave a parade for a communist Chinese Olympic champion. Not only is CA not a democracy anymore, it's not even American anymore.

    • NO IT IS A DEMOCRACY. WHAT IT IS NOT…. IS A REPUBLIC. I AGREE IT IS NOT AMERICA ANYMORE AND PEOPLE SAY SEPARATE THEM FROM US. I SAY WE WILL NOT CEDE TERRITORY TO THE LEFT SOCIALISTS WE WILL CONQUER THEM.

  8. I never was a fan of the idea that the machines changed the vote totals. Why would they have to when all they had to do was count fraudulent, harvested, mail-ion ballots that were dumped by the truckload into ballot boxes? Oh, and of course the boxes of ballots that were tabulated over and over and over again in Fulton County after they kicked everyone out because of a "water main break".

    • MOVIES WERE MADE AS EARLY AS 2006 ABOUT THE MACHINES DOING IT THAT WAY IS WAS A GLITCH AND NOT OUTRIGHT FRAUD. THE BALLOTS MAKE IS SOME GHOST THAT WAS DOING IT. THE MULTIPLE TABULATING WAS THE POINT WHERE THEY STOPPED CARING ENOUGH TO LIE KNOWING THEY HAD THE BLACK ROBE SUPPORT TEAM.
      THOSE CHIM PS SUED GUILIANI AND WON HE LOST MILLIONS AND OTHERS DID AS WELL WHILE FACING JAIL TIME FOR DISPUTING THE ELECTION LEGITIMACY WHILE HOLDING VIDEO AND PRINT PROOF. THIS COUP IS ONGOING AND ZERO ACTION TO CORRECT IT IS EVEN BEING CONSIDERED.

      BY THIS TIME IN THE BIDET ADMINISTRATION THOUSANDS WERE IN PRISON WITH OUT CHARGES BEING TORTURED DAILY.

      WE ARE NO LONGER FREE CITIZENS…WE ARE SUBJECTS.

  9. Gosh…. another conspiracy theory getting validated. It just comes quite late. Now, get to the arresting and jailing part.

  10. Joe – it was actually worse in Arizona as the media and elected officials refused to do anything about the fraud that started in the 2018 mid-terms, resulting in the Maricopa County Recorder's mysterious late night/early morning processing of 40,000 pristine mail in ballots without any postmarks, resulting in DEMS overcoming a 40,000 vote lead by Republicans… it was so successful they expanded for the 2020 election – the COVID Hoax only put this on steroids as the County Recorder actually changed election laws unilaterally to secure DEMS victories!

  11. The fix was in way before COVID hit… there was a big push in PA to re-write voting legislation to a open up mail in ballots for voting. It passed in October of 2019 under Democratic leadership.
    I think the roots of it began with HAVA (Help Americans Vote Act) which everyone "thought was a good idea" but made it easier for certain groups to "game" the system.

    The ERIC system was sold to states as a way to "clean up" voter roles, but many democratic leaning states didn't and it was used by Left leaning voter registration groups to both register people that don't vote or rarely vote. This helped to flood the registration systems with lots of voters where fraud could occur, especially via mail in ballots.

  12. The system has been deliberately designed to be vast, cumbersome and complicated with multiple technologies, handling procedures and hundreds of hands involved. All designed to cheat, cover up an hinder discovering the fraud.

    Elections are quite simple:
    Only verified citizens are allowed to register and vote.
    Same day, in person voting at a local precinct vs centralized vote center.
    Mail-in ballots for overseas military, government employees, disabled persons.ONLY.
    Must have USPS postmark by midnight on election day, handwritten dates forbidden.
    You present i.d. are handed a paper ballot, fill it out, deposit in a secured ballot box that locks.
    Ballot boxes taken to vote center and hand counted.

    India hand counted 600 million ballots with results published the day after election.
    France has voter i.d., same day in person voting, paper ballots, votes are hand counted. Last election they hand counted 39 million ballots and published the results just after midnight.
    California has only 23 million registered voters yet in 2024, were counting for three weeks post-election day. By the way the recent L.A. mayor's primary took four days to count until the Republicans 40k vote lead in election night disappeared. Took seven days for the governor it's primary and the Left still couldn't remove Republican Steve Hilton from the Nov run-off.

    • It's a like a fake GP, those two boys trying to build a website with marxists satanic crap. Same old treason.

        • Let the people speak, not two butt hole boys selling the headlights. Fake woman Catholics are not Cristians, it's a girls cult. Rome ain't Christian, it's a disgusting thing to say. Christian is a God following man, not a pedophile Catholic garbage. Jesus rebuked Rome.

  13. @ Joe the girl of gateway pundit, why can't I post on the GP, what is the malfunction?
    Why is your brother a woman who blacklisted a man?

  14. They needed a way to justify widespread mail-in ballots, so they launched COVID. They were promised that it wouldn't kill children, and target old people that were already sick and vulnerable. The media said, 'we're in', and the rest… is history.

  15. yup, all the indicators of fraud use and lack of being able to verify results and ease of result manipulation were known and should have made this model unusable but demorats winked it right into use then released COVID on the public to grease the rails for them to STEAL 2020 ELECTION … they have no choice but to attempt it again because everybody knows demorats are only 'hate/fraud/lies' … they are pathological liars who will and do lie about everything without any conscience because them have none … normal people do

      • I think Trump has set the biggest trap the world has ever seen.. I suspect we’re going to see congrifters and deep state filth hammered with the justice they deserve.. either that, or Trump is a Trojan Horse.. I highly doubt that.

          • Yep, he’s gonna have to go scorched earth on the deep state to keep them from stealing midterms, he’s got a plan.. I just wonder what it is exactly.

  16. Hogwash, the Democrat Party has millions of phony mail in ballots located strategically throughout the country, they have delayed counting in these voting districts so they can apply the fake ballots wherever needed, they’ve been doing this since the days of John Kennedy. Anyone that cannot see this is as blind as a bat! It’s not complicated, how can it be, it’s Democrats! Republicans can do the same thing, they don’t for reasons known only to them, I guess they’re just stupid in a different sort of way.

  17. Wasn't there a tabletop exercise about controlling a disease spreading run by Bill Gates in the fall of 2019 (Nov.) and if I recall correctly there were some odd circumstances in China about Aug. 2019 around some world athletic competitions.

  18. Of course, that was part of it….
    China was on the verge of assuming economic & military world dominance, until Trump, using our economic might stepped in and stopped them. Then all of a sudden, a (bioweapon) virus came out of China, shutting down our economy & installing Biden in the White House.

    Treasury Secretary Bessent: “The Chinese Told Us Once Joe Biden Came into Office They Just Ignored Their Obligations” May. 12, 2025

    Team Biden Bragged about RIGGING Brazil Election Against President Bolsonaro Before Election Day, handing it to the pro China candidate Oct. 31, 2022

  19. Everything was gamed out. The plan was put in place before the elections. There was a full on assualt against America and humanity. Fauci, Gates, hunter, pedo joe, hilldawg, and obamanation were all in on this. And dont forget ecohealth allience. This was supposed to be released during hilldawgs term, but it seems it had to be rushed before it was complete. When you realize there were and are 120 (at least) bioweapons labs globally working tirelessly to perfect plagues and 40 just in Ukraine, you will understand why President Trump had to be impeached.
