When the city of Detroit needed workers to staff its election center this fall, it turned to a familiar figure in city politics: lawyer and entrepreneur William A. Phillips, whose name a few years earlier appeared often in the corruption case of disgraced and still-imprisoned ex-Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick.

On Sept. 22, the city council approved a $1 million contract for Phillips' staffing firm P.I.E. Management, LLC to hire up to 2,000 workers to work the polls and staff the ballot counting machines. "They will provide up to 2,000 employees (Detroit Residents) the ability to operate election equipment on Election Day as poll workers under the MiDeal Cooperative Agreement with the State," the city council boasted about P.I.E.

Dominion Voting Systems, which provides voting equipment and software for the city, also got fresh money that day for additional machines to count absentee ballots.

A week later, Phillips' firm was advertising for Election Day workers, offering them a handsome sum for one day's work and some training:
"Candidates must be 16 years or older. Candidates are required to attend a 3 hour training session before the General Election. The position offers two shifts and pay-rates: 1) From 7am to 7pm at $600.00; and 2) From 10pm to 6am at $650."
For the advertised 8 or 12 hour shifts of work, the temporary employees were earning at least $50 per hour.

Arizona: Maricopa County GOP Chair resigns following failure to certify voting machines

Rae Chornenky, the Maricopa County GOP Chair, has been forced to resign following her failure to sign the Certificate of Accuracy for the voting machines.

Maricopa County in Arizona, which contains the state capitol Phoenix, has been at the center of attention following the election, being judged as crucial to President Trump's chances of winning the state. At the time of writing, Arizona is still counting its votes, and a winner has not been declared by most media organizations, bar Fox and the AP.

A number of allegations of voter irregularities have also arisen in Arizona. However, the Certificate of Accuracy, that should be signed by representatives of both parties, ensuring no fraud can occur, was not signed by any Republican. Maricopa County GOP Chairman Rae Chornenky failed to show up to verify the document, leaving only Democrats and representatives from the Secretary of State to sign it.

Arizona State Representative, and now State Senator-elect, Kelly Townsend, called on Chornenky to resign, along with her 1st Vice Chair Linda Brickman. "This is 100% unacceptable and has contributed to the collapse of Arizona voter confidence," Townsend tweeted.

Best of the Web: Chairman of the US Federal Election Commission: 'There IS evidence of voter fraud. Without observers at polling stations, an election is illegitimate'

The chairman of the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) stated that he believes there is evidence of voter fraud and other alleged irregularities.

In a recent interview, FEC Chairman Trey Trainor said reports of fraud in some battleground states are credible "otherwise they would allow the [poll] observers to go in," referring to reports of some polling areas refusing to allow GOP observers to check on the process on Election Day and the days after.

"When you have claims of, you know, 10,000 people who don't live in the state of Nevada having voted in Nevada, you have the video ... they're (poll workers) either duplicating a spoiled ballot right there or they're in the process of just marking a ballot that came in blank for a voter," Trainor told Newsmax. "That's a process that needs to be observed by election observers."


In the interview, he agreed with Trump's campaign lawsuits, while saying that questionable actions by elections officials in several states could make the election illegitimate.

Trainor, an appointee of President Donald Trump, noted that state laws allow those observers to be there, and "if they're not," then it's an "illegitimate election."

Despite electing two consecutive pro-NATO presidents, the Ukrainian people are apparently not on the same page as their elites. Only 41% want the nation to join the US-led military bloc with 37% preferring to remain unaligned.

That's according to a survey by the Kiev International Institute of Sociology, which also discovered that 13% would prefer to sign up to the Russian-dominated CTSO alliance. Meanhile, 56.6% of Ukrainians believe that their country will eventually improve its relations with Russia, with 30.1% thinking that tensions between Kiev and Moscow will persist in the longer term.

Conducted in October, the research asked Ukrainians in the west, center, south, and east of the country about their opinions on topics dividing Ukrainian society. The pollsters also spoke to residents in government-controlled Donbass but didn't contact people in the breakaway People's Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk.

Britain's biggest police force must hire 40% of new recruits from ethnic minority backgrounds, while officers will have to justify stop and search to community panels under new plans designed to quell the race crisis engulfing Scotland Yard.

The Guardian has learned details of the new initiative on race and policing hammered out by London's mayor and the Metropolitan police after months of negotiations.

The Met commissioner, Cressida Dick, is expected to accept that the force is not free of racism or discrimination, and wants to improve, when the race action plan is unveiled on Friday.

Comment: Meanwhile an aspiring Mayor for London is stating that he'd, instead, hire the 'best person for the job':

Dr.Shiva interviews MIT PhD: Analysis of Michigan votes reveals unfortunate truth of US voting systems

dr shiva ayyadurai
Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai, MIT PhD, the Inventor of Email, Scientist, Engineer, shares the results of his team's mathematical analysis of four major counties votes in Michigan in the Trump-Biden election that reveals an unfortunate truth of U.S. voting systems. The analysis raises important questions for Election Integrity.

Dr. Shiva is joined by two special guests.

For more on the mathematics of voter manipulation happening now in the US see: Fraction Magic - Part 1: Votes are being counted as fractions instead of as whole numbers.

See also: UPDATE: It looks like Dr. Shiva's analysis may be a nothingburger. He should have done the same analysis for Biden in the same counties for comparison. If he had, he would have found a similar slope.


However, Shiva has doubled down. He says that math like the guy above might be correct, but the pattern IS abnormal. Se below:

Police in Austria are investigating 21 possible accomplices of the jihadist who rampaged through Vienna last week, officers have said, adding that some aspects of the attack - including the weapons' origin - are still a mystery.

Eleven days after the terrorist attack that killed four people, Austrian authorities say a number of questions remain. Michael Lohnegger, the police chief leading the investigation, told a news conference on Friday that investigators still don't know how the gunman got to the city center on the night of the attack, or where he got his weapons and ammunition.

Lohnegger said that the attacker, identified as Kujtim Fejzulai, had three weapons, including an AK 47 which was made in Serbia, and ammunition from China.

Elon Musk says he took four rapid COVID-19 tests with split results

Elon Musk continued to cast doubts on the accuracy of coronavirus tests Friday morning โ€” just hours after tweeting that he took four rapid tests with conflicting results.

The Tesla CEO and third-richest man in the world had initially tweeted Thursday night that "Something extremely bogus is going on" regarding Covid-19 testing. "Two tests came back negative, two came back positive. Same machine, same test, same nurse."

'This is disputed': Twitter's obsessive tagging of Trump election posts spawns glorious meme mockery

Social media's campaign of tagging every election post that doesn't fit the mainstream media narrative is now being mocked in memes ranging from Paul Revere's ride to the priest warning the Trojans about the Greek wooden horse.

The meme that kicked it all off appeared sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday, showing a "learn how British taxes are beneficial for society" label on a mock-up of a tweet by Paul Revere, with the famous quote attributed to him, "The British are coming!"

Revere was the rider who warned the Massachusetts colonists in 1775 that British troops were being sent to suppress them, ahead of the skirmishes at Lexington and Concord that would begin the American War of Independence.
