Suspicious Voting Patterns Raise Questions About Oklahoma’s Election Security

Smartmatic has been at the center of the Election crisis ever since it was discovered that their ImageCast software that is imbedded in the Dominion voting machines, which was created by the Hugo Chavez regime to ensure that he never lost an election, was discovered to have been used by Democrats to flip the elections in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, and likely a host of other states. In all of these states, the voting machines in questions were Dominion Voting System’s Democracy Suite.

While Dominion has been rightly demonized in this Election, they are likely not the only problematic company related to this election. The Epoch Times reported in a November 23rd article that the capital investment group (H.I.G. Capital) that owns both Dominion and Hart Intercivic had been investigated in 2019 by a bipartisan group of lawmakers comprising of Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), and Rep. Mark Pocan (D-Wis.) because of concerns regard the safety of their voting systems.

Ignite Liberty discovered an EVEREST Study (Evaluation and Validation of Election Related Equipment, Standards and Testing) commissioned by the State of Ohio in 2007 that revealed massive security flaws in the EVS (electronic voting systems) by both Hart Intercivic and Premier (which later was sold to Dominion in 2010). You can read that article here. Additionally, we discovered a January 16, 2011 article in The Oklahoman that highlighted the purchase of Hart Intercivic voting machines for use statewide in Oklahoma elections. It has been used here ever since.

After revealing this information, Ryan Hill, a local citizen-journalist and friend of Ignite Liberty, notified us over the weekend that our social media posts regarding Hart Intercivic’s role in Oklahoma elections motivated him to examine voting patterns in the major counties in our state. That examination revealed certain troubling patterns in the absentee voting patterns in Oklahoma, Cleveland, Payne, and Tulsa counties. Mr. Hill stated the reason he looked at just the absentee votes was because of the security of Oklahoma’s voting laws would have made cheating in early voting or election day voting nearly impossible. If there was voter fraud it would have to be in the absentee votes since those are not counted at the precinct level.

We have since analyzed the same voting patterns and compared them with historical averages over the last 5 election cycles (going back to the 2012 general election). We compared the voting turnout for the main Republican and Democrat candidates for Presidential, Senatorial, Congressional, County Clerk, County Court Clerk, and Sheriff races in Oklahoma County. We then used the change in the number of registered voters as a control group to determine if the trends we were seeing could be answered by a sudden shift in Republican and/or Democrat registered voters. All of the data we used has been pulled from the Oklahoma County Election Board’s website. Our findings are published below.

Before we begin, we must stress that we are NOT accusing any of the members or employees of The Oklahoma County Election Board of fraud. However, we know that it is possible for these voting machines to be accessed by outside malevolent actors intent on depriving Oklahomans of a fair and honest election. It is our hope through this report to state our case for a hand recount of all absentee votes in the counties in question, especially in light of upcoming City Council races. If even one vote was flipped it represents a criminal infringement on our most sacred of rights.

Presidential

We begin our analysis with the last three presidential votes. In 2012, then-Senator Romney beat out President Obama in absentee votes by nearly a 2-1 margin:

Presidential	Absentee Mail	Early Voting	Election Day	Total Votes	Percentage
Obama	5,297	9,711	91,974	106,982	41.67%
Romney	10,930	4,153	134,645	149,728	58.33%
Total	16,227	13,864	226,619	256,710

A similar pattern emerged in 2016, with President Trump beating Hillary Clinton by almost 2,000 absentee votes:

Presidential	Absentee Mail	Early Voting	Election Day	Total Votes	Percentage
Trump/Pence	6,790	7,530	48,218	62,538	57.14%
Johnson/Weld	709	715	6,659	8,083	7.39%
Clinton/Kaine	4,645	5,501	28,683	38,829	35.48%
Total	12,144	13,746	83,560	109,450

Yet in 2020, the trends completely change, with Biden outpacing Hillary and Obama by almost 50K votes, despite never setting foot in the state:

Presidential	Absentee Mail	Early Voting	Election Day	Total Votes	Percentage
Trump/Pence	29,408	6,024	109,618	145,050	49.21%
Jorgensen/Cohen	1,400	158	3,714	5,272	1.79%
Biden/Harris	55,118	9,860	76,746	141,724	48.08%
Simmons/Roze	256	20	576	852	0.29%
West/Tidball	257	30	1,039	1,326	0.45%
Pierce/Ballard	162	7	347	516	0.18%
Total	86,601	16,099	192,040	294,740

By comparison, in 2016 Trump outpaced Hillary by nearly 20% of the absentee vote:

Percentage	Absentee	Early Voting	Election Day	Total
Trump/Pence	55.43%	42.76%	51.97%	51.68%
Clinton/Kaine	38.19%	52.92%	40.52%	41.18%

Yet in 2020, Trump trailed Biden by almost 30%:

Percentage	Absentee	Early Voting	Election Day
Trump/Pence	33.96%	37.42%	57.08%
Jorgensen/Cohen	1.62%	0.98%	1.93%
Biden/Harris	63.65%	61.25%	39.96%
Simmons/Roze	0.30%	0.12%	0.30%
West/Tidball	0.30%	0.19%	0.54%
Pierce/Ballard	0.19%	0.04%	0.18%

In order to determine the full possible impact, we compared the vote totals that Trump and Biden reportedly received with the totals they would have received (at a minimum) if they received the same percentage of votes as the main candidates got in 2016:

Party	Actual	Proposed*	Difference	% Change
Trump/Pence	29,408	46,855	17,447	24.42%
Biden/Harris	55,118	32,279	22,839	-24.42%
Total	84,526	79,134	40,285

As you can see, there was a minimum +40,000 vote flip from historical norms for a candidate who never campaigned once in the Sooner State over a President who made his first campaign stop after the COVID stoppage here in Oklahoma, and enjoys huge popularity among Oklahomans. As a result of this flip, President Trump won Oklahoma County by less than 4,000 votes.

U.S. Senate Race

The trends continue in the race for U.S. Senate. In 2016, Senator Lankford easily outpaced his Democrat challenger by more than a 2-1 margin in absentee votes:

Candidate	Absentee	Early Voting	Election Day	TOTAL
James Lankford (Rep)	20,469	9,955	130,067	160,491
Mike Workman (Dem)	9,163	9,110	70,949	89,222
Total	29,632	19,065	201,016	249,713

However, this year first-time political challenger Abby Broyles nearly reversed that ratio on long-time Senate stalwart Jim Inhofe:

That represents a nearly complete flip of percentages in absentee voting:

2016:

Percentage	Absentee	Early Voting	Election Day	TOTAL
Lankford	69.08%	52.22%	64.70%	64.27%
Workman	30.92%	47.78%	35.30%	35.73%

2020:

Percentage	Absentee	Early Voting	Election Day	TOTAL
Inhofe	34.86%	37.36%	55.28%	48.29%
Broyles	62.28%	60.25%	39.63%	47.43%

Following the same methodology as the presidential analysis, this represents a swap of greater than 55,000 votes over historical trends:

Proposed 2020 Vote Totals based on Historical Norms – US Senate (Absentee)
Party	Actual	Proposed*	Difference	% Change
Inhofe	30,207	58,148	27,941	33.19%
Broyles	53,971	26,030	27,941	-33.19%
Total	84,178	84,178	55,882

U.S. House (CD5)

Similar trends are found in the hotly-contested House District 5 race between Stephanie Bice and Kendra Horn. While Horn outperformed Steve Russell in absentee in her 2018 victory by about 2,000 votes, her lead soared to nearly 22,000 votes over Stephanie Bice in 2020 despite a strong, concerted effort to oust her by the OKGOP:

2018:

Candidate	Absentee	Early Voting	Election Day	TOTAL	Percentage
Steve Russell (Rep_)	9,772	5,994	85,059	100,825	47.66%
Kendra Horn (Dem)	11,326	9,053	90,348	110,727	52.34%
Total	21,098	15,047	175,407	211,552

2020:

Candidate	Absentee	Early Voting	Election Day	TOTAL
Stephanie Bice (Rep)	28,374	5,807	98,436	132,617
Kendra Horn (Dem)	52,279	9,233	73,466	134,978
Total	80,653	15,040	171,902	267,595

While holding to historical averages would have still had Horn winning the absentee vote, it is not nearly as much as what was reported:

Party	Actual	Proposed*	Difference	% Change
Bice	28,374	37,356	8,982	11.14%
Horn	52,279	43,297	8,982	-11.14%
Total	80,653	80,653	17,964

Oklahoma County Clerk

The anomalies even continued to down-ballot local races. In 2016, David Hooten easily beat Chris Powell in absentee votes by a margin similar to James Lankford’s win over Mike Workman:

In 2020, the margins completely flip:

This represents a flip of over 52,000 votes from the historical norm:

Party	Actual	Proposed*	Difference	% Change
Hooten	35,696	61,857	26,161	30.87%
Chicoraske	49,062	22,901	26,161	-30.87%
Total	84,758	84,758	52,322

Oklahoma County Court Clerk

Even the Oklahoma County Court Clerk’s race saw irregularities. in 2016 Rick Warren easily defeated Anastasia Pittman in absentee votes by a comfortable margin:

Candidate	Absentee	Early Voting	Election Day	TOTAL
Rick Warren (Rep)	19,286	9,368	123,725	152,379
Anastasia Pittman (Dem)	11,596	10,795	94,290	116,681
Total	30,882	20,163	218,015	269,060

In 2020, the reversal trend continued:

Candidate	Absentee	Early Voting	Election Day	TOTAL
Rick Warren (Rep)	37,540	6,768	119,978	164,286
Charles De Coune (Dem)	47,334	9,138	68,737	125,209
Total	84,874	15,906	188,715	289,495

This represents a +30,000 vote flip:

Party	Actual	Proposed*	Difference	% Change
Warren	37,540	53,004	15,464	18.22%
De Coune	47,334	31,870	15,464	-18.22%
Total	84,874	84,874	30,929

Oklahoma County Sheriff

Lastly, the trend even continues down to the County Sheriff races. In 2016, The Oklahoma County Sheriff’s race was nearly a dead-heat in absentee voting:

Candidate	Absentee	Early Voting	Election Day	TOTAL
Mike Christian (Rep)	15,338	8,301	106,559	130,198
John Whetsel (Dem)	15,653	11,832	112,687	140,172
Total	30,991	20,133	219,246	270,370

This year the absentee vote was not even remotely close, with Democrat Wayland Cubit winning by nearly 16,000 votes:

Candidate	Absentee	Early Voting	Election Day	TOTAL
Tommie Johnson III (Rep)	34,971	6,374	112,277	153,622
Wayland Cubit (Dem)	50,468	9,587	77,216	137,271
Total	85,439	15,961	189,493	290,893

Because of the closeness of the 2016 race, the vote flip from historical norms is smaller, but still significant:

Party	Actual	Proposed*	Difference	% Change
Tommie Johnson III.	34,971	42,285	7,314	8.56%
Wayland Cubit	50,468	43,154	7,314	-8.56%
Total	85,439	85,439	14,629

Voter Registration Changes

While one could understand a targeted flip of presidential votes, and even senatorial or congressional votes, the potential flipping of down-ballot local races either represents systemic, egregious fraud; a massive swing of independent voters toward the Democrat party; or a massive surge of staunchly Democrat voters in a county that has been solidly Republican for years. To determine the likelihood of the latter two scenarios, we compared the change in registered voters from 2016-2020, and 2019-2020. If these numbers are legitimate, and there really was a surge of Democrat votes, it would be highly likely to see a surge in registered Democrat voters (considering most Independents would likely be split evenly). The numbers, however, don’t show that.

From 2016-2020, the number show a small, yet proportional change in voter registration:

Oklahoma County Voter Registration 2016-2020
Party	1-Nov-16	1-Nov-20	Difference
Republican	184,264	189,991	5,727
Democrat	161,257	164,628	3,371
Libertarian	901	3,385	2,484
Independent	70,029	83,799	13,770
TOTAL	416,451	441,803	25,352

From 2016 to 2019, there seems to have been a drop in overall registered voters, likely due to death, relocation, or graduation of college students. So the 2019-2020 change in registered voters, while larger than from 2016-2020, does show an overall increase of registered Democrat voters over Republican voters, but not by much:

Oklahoma County Voter Registration 2019-2020
Party	15-Jan-20	1-Nov-20	Difference
Republican	178,023	189,991	11,968
Democrat	151,337	164,628	13,291
Libertarian	2,650	3,385	735
Independent	75,037	83,799	8,762
TOTAL	407,047	441,803	34,756

Now compare those numbers with the difference in voter turnouts from 2016-2020, and you’ll notice a HEAVY swing towards Democrat votes in absentee voting:

Oklahoma County Presidential Voter Turnout Difference: 2016 v 2020
Party	Absentee	Early Voting	Election Day	Total Votes
Republican	12,020	-2,728	-5,811	3,481
Democrat	43,139	-973	-13,255	28,911
TOTAL	55,159	-3,701	-19,066	32,392

While some of the surge of Democrat absentee voting could be explained by the drop in Election Day voting due to COVID-19 concerns, that only accounts for 30% of the total increase in absentee Democrat voters.

When comparing the voting registrations to the overall voting trends, it gets even more alarming. While the Republicans added 11,968 new registered voters from 2019-2020, they only acquired 3,481 more votes than 2016; a 8,487 vote gap. Considering the overall enthusiasm for President Trump among Republicans, with some reports even showing a staggering 96% voting rate for the President among his own party, it is highly unlikely that he would lose 70% of the new registered Republicans votes.

Meanwhile, the Democrats only added 13,291 new voters, but added 28,911 new votes; a 15,620 vote gain, a 207% increase. Combine the lost Republican votes and the gain Democrat votes, and that represents a shift of 24,107 votes.

Even if you compare the 2016-2020 change in voter registrations to 2016-2020 voter turnout, the numbers look even more suspicious. The Republicans gained 5,727 voters, yet only picked up 3,481 new votes, a 60% conversion rate for a President that converted 96% Republican votes throughout the country. The Democrats, however, picked up only 3,371 new voters, but gained 28,911 new votes, an 857% increase…in the middle of a state that awarded all 77 counties to President Trump in 2016.

Conclusion

As we said above, we are NOT alleging fraud by the Oklahoma County Election Board. If at any time the counting machines were connected to the internet, even if it was just to upload the results to the server, it would have given outside hackers enough time to change the votes at the point of transfer, which is exactly what happened in the 6 states whose elections are in question. If even one vote was switched, it’s one vote too many.

The only way of ensuring our elections are secure is for our elected officials to demand a hand recount of all absentee ballots in Oklahoma County. If the numbers turn out to be the same as reported on election night, then we know our elections are secure (and that Republicans have a LOT of work to do before 2022). However, if we find that votes were indeed switched, even if it doesn’t change the results, then we must demand that ALL voting machines in the State of Oklahoma be immediately decommissioned and the Governor, legislature, and Oklahoma City Council take the steps necessary to protect our elections moving forward…starting with the City Council elections.

(Consequently, this represents a golden opportunity for enterprising patriots to create secure, American-made, American-owned voting machines.)

Oklahomans built this land with blood, sweat, and tears. We would be more than happy to help secure our liberty by volunteering to hand-count ballots in the meantime. The safety and security of our great state, and our Republic, demand nothing less.
