Dirty voter rolls yield dirty elections. Alas, America’s voter files are filthy.

Austin, Texas-based Jay Valentine is vice president of operations with Fractal Computing, LLC. He and his company developed eBay’s anti-fraud systems and created the anti-terrorist software behind the TSA’s No Fly List. They also guard GEICO and State Farm from insurance cheats. 

Fractal also girds the power grid from hackers.

Valentine and Fractal have harnessed their technical prowess to help citizens cleanse the Augean stable that is America’s election system. Republican honest-vote advocates are battling the Democrats’ quiet-but-effective ballot-creation machine. Thousands of GOP lawyers and election observers have volunteered to patrol precincts and oversee tabulation stations in November.

That might be too late. 

Election rolls are teeming with dead, relocated, and phantom “voters,” ineligible foreign citizens, and even illegal aliens. Unless Republicans intervene immediately, millions of these people will receive mass-mail ballots. Crafty Democrat ballot traffickers will harvest, complete, and submit them on behalf of “voters” who are unqualified to pick America’s president and other leaders.

As deadlines loom, Republicans must shift from today’s retail method of voter-roll cleanup (scrutinize suspicious voters individually) to Fractal’s wholesale strategy: Compare voter rolls with property tax records and challenge fishy or phony addresses where hundreds of thousands of phantom “voters” are registered illegally.

Using this technique, swing-state activists confirm that their election records reek from irregularities—or worse:

Georgia (16 Electoral College votes): According to Fractal, 558,876 phantom “voters” include 114,817 tied to invalid addresses, per the post office, and 68,983 who are registered, despite living permanently outside the Peach State.  

— In Norcross, Georgia, 65 voters were registered at the Jones Recreational Vehicle Park. Although it limits guests’ visits to two weeks, Valentine says, “They’ve cast ballots for many, many years”—including in the contested 2020 election.

— Georgia’s records include 1,641 people listed as age 110-plus. At least 25 share a birth date: Jan. 1, 1800. These 224-year-olds might need special care to cast their mail-in ballots.

Nevada (Six electoral votes): In Washoe County (Reno)—between Feb. 14 and Aug. 19, 2022—37 voters claimed to reside in public parks. This cohort nearly septupled to 248. Casino-dwelling registrants climbed from 51 to 295. Parking lot-based voters grew from 728 to 1,479.

This is 411 West Fourth Street Reno, NV 89503. “This vacant lot is claimed by seven registrants in the Nevada voter roll…On information and belief, no one resides at this location,” according to a May 10 state lawsuit by the Public Interest Legal Foundation. PILF states that “no one resides at this location.”

“Our thesis is that we should not mail ballots to people in parking garages,” Valentine declares. “We don’t think that’s a hard case to make.”

North Carolina (16): Among 432,299 phantom “voters,” 159,520 are registered at invalid addresses and 91,264 have moved away. 

Pennsylvania (19): Fractal identifies 1,420,435 phantom “voters” in the Keystone State. These include 323,524 rental-building residents without recorded apartment numbers. Postal workers often leave their mail-in ballots in lobbies, where they lie about, get discarded, or otherwise succumb to theft and abuse. Another 346,505 are registered at invalid addresses. Yet another 262,488 voters are registered in Pennsylvania, despite shipping out.

Wisconsin (10): As of March 19, voter rolls included 22,973 men and women with the same phone number in the 262 area code. This included 225 active voters. The balance are inactive—both living and dead. Among them, 11 voters registered in 1927.

“The problem is that Wisconsin keeps records with 50% of the voters on inactive status. Nobody else does anything close to that,” Valentine laments. “They can, and do, move ‘voters’ from inactive, to active, vote them, and move them back to inactive.”

“We found about 40,000 phantom voters at prohibited locations in Wisconsin,” my old friend Steve Baldwin—a vote-fraud expert and former GOP member of the California State Assembly—told me. “Because we stopped mail-in ballots from reaching these 40,000 phantoms, Sen. Ron Johnson won reelection.”

Pundits said the Badger State Republican was doomed in Nov. 2022, but he survived by 26,255 votes among 2,647,601 cast—precisely 1.00%.

“We here in Wisconsin are running registration list data almost daily in different suspect municipalities and tracking the growth in registrations,” one Fractal user told me. “We see the names and addresses and run those against other data to flag phantom voters. We NEVER contact any voter. We challenge the county clerks who send out phantom ballots. If they know we are watching, they will be less likely to mail out shady ballots, because they don’t want to get in trouble.”

Valentine, Fractal, and the watchdogs whom they assist do not target individual voters. This is inefficient and ineffective. Instead, they identify fishy or fake venues rife with “registered voters.”

“Addresses do not have rights,” Valentine explained. “Addresses do not have lawyers.”

They report these problematic, if not utterly fraudulent, addresses to election officials, so that ballots do not get mailed to nor accepted from these places. If someone genuinely calls a vacant lot home, he can visit the polls and ask to vote. However, mail-in ballots should not reach that spot and, quite likely, land in the hands of Democrat evil-doers.

Unlike the GOP’s antiquated techniques, Fractal’s software promotes such voter-roll hygiene.

“Quantum tech is like the MRI and CAT scan seeing what the X-ray misses,” Valentine explained. Fractal quantum technology performs 200 million calculations per second amid 2.7 billion data. “We are reconciling government voter rolls with government property-tax records. These government records should agree with each other.” When they conflict, Fractal’s klaxons squawk.

“We can see people aggregating at ineligible locations, like industrial buildings, across time,” Valentine added. “In my first snapshot, I might have 10 voters. And then I have 50 voters. And then I have 300 voters in a place with no bedrooms. And that’s how we find illegal-ballot mills.”

Targeting dodgy addresses, rather than just unqualified individuals, also offers Republicans this enormous advantage: timing.

According to 52 U.S. Code §20507(c)(2)(A), individual names on voter rolls may not be removed within 90 days of an election, in this case, after Aug. 7.

However, ineligible addresses face no such restrictions. Illegitimate locations may be challenged at least until the date election officials spew out mail-in ballots, as if with fire hoses. This inundation begins a month after Wednesday’s deadline.

Mail-in ballots flood North Carolina voters 60 days before Election Day (Sept. 6—four days after Labor Day!). Pennsylvania follows at 50 days (Sept. 16), and then Wisconsin (47 days/Sept. 19), and Minnesota (46 days/Sept. 20).

Even after election officials drown voters in ballots, those tied to bad addresses can be identified for non-tabulation once they return to county election offices. Some count these ballots as they arrive. Others, including Pennsylvania, sideline them until Election Day. This means that ballots from bogus addresses can be neutralized as late as Nov. 5—90 days after the deadline associated with phony voters. 

Valentine reckons that each swing state has at least 500,000 phantom “voters” controlled all-but-exclusively by Trump-loathing Democrats and left-wing nongovernmental organizations.

Valentine estimates that for $7 million, he could deploy teams of election-integrity sleuths to isolate ineligible properties and halt mail-in ballots destined for those addresses. 

For a fraction of most campaign budgets, Jay Valentine and Fractal Computing, LLC could level the playing fields for former President Donald Trump and the GOP in Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin.

If Democrats truly believe in Kamala Harris and their cause, they should relish such a fair fight.
