(With Cleta Mitchell) ### Introduction and Announcements (0:20 - 1:30) [[Curtis Bowers]] begins the episode of [[Agenda Weekly]] by expressing gratitude to his subscribers for their support and prayers, which help sustain the show. He encourages viewers on Rumble to like and follow the channel to increase the video's reach. Bowers then introduces his guest, [[Cleta Mitchell]], who works with the [[Election Integrity Network]], mentioning that she was last on the show about a year and a half ago. They plan to discuss the 2020, 2022, and upcoming 2024 elections, focusing on actions viewers can take to ensure free and fair elections. ### Subscription Appeal and Positive News (1:31 - 3:06) Bowers invites non-subscribers to join Agenda Weekly for $5 a month to access weekly resources. He shares some positive news before the interview: - Britain has rejected the World Health Organization treaty, - Missouri has defunded Planned Parenthood and provided support for expecting mothers, - Nebraska has removed capital gains tax on gold and silver, and - Alabama has banned the sale of lab-grown meat. Bowers emphasizes the importance of focusing on positive developments amidst negative news. ### Election Fraud in Georgia (3:07 - 4:54) Bowers highlights a clip from [[Fulton County, Georgia]], where an election violation committee reports extensive fraud during the 2020 election. They found no record for 1.7 million ballots, suggesting a significant discrepancy since Trump lost by a narrow margin of about 10,000 votes. Bowers asserts that Trump likely won by a large margin, and the exposure of this fraud might not change the past election but could inform future actions. The committee criticizes the state's election officials for their handling of the election, pointing out multiple failures in securing and documenting the ballots. ### Interview with Cleta Mitchell (7:12 - 8:30) Bowers welcomes Cleta Mitchell, recalling her last appearance before the 2022 midterm elections, which also had questionable results. Mitchell talks about the ongoing efforts to document and reveal the truth about the 2020 election. She criticizes the left-wing media for dismissing concerns about election integrity and highlights the importance of following the legislative processes intended for elections. ### Detailed Election Issues in Georgia (8:31 - 14:14) Mitchell explains the origins of a comprehensive complaint about election irregularities in Fulton County, Georgia, filed by two researchers in 2021. The governor forwarded the complaint to the state election board, but it only reached them in May 2024. The secretary of state's office has been slow and inadequate in investigating the issues. **Mitchell stresses the need for adherence to election laws in problematic counties like Fulton and Maricopa. She also discusses a court ruling against Michigan's Secretary of State [[Jocelyn Benson]], who unlawfully directed clerks to bypass signature verification steps for mail-in ballots.** ### Concerns about Election Integrity (12:13 - 14:14) Mitchell voices concerns about [[Merrick Garland]]'s [[Election Threats Task Force]], which she believes aims to intimidate citizens from questioning election processes. Bowers and Mitchell discuss the significance of election law compliance, noting that significant discrepancies, such as the destruction of 1.7 million ballot images in Georgia, highlight systemic issues. They emphasize the need for integrity and adherence to legal requirements to ensure fair elections. ### Election Integrity and Non-Citizen Voting Concerns (14:14 - 18:13) Bowers and Mitchell discuss the alarming statistic that 71 counties in Georgia could not produce original ballot images, highlighting widespread issues. Mitchell shifts the conversation to non-citizen voting, an area she began focusing on in January. She discovered that federal laws like the [[Help America Vote Act]] and the [[National Voter Registration Act]] assume immigration laws are enforced, but current lax enforcement makes the system vulnerable to fraud. **Non-citizens can obtain Social Security numbers and driver’s licenses, which are used for voter registration verification, creating opportunities for illegal voting.** Mitchell has been working with legislators to address this issue by proposing the [[SAVE Act]], which would require proof of citizenship for voter registration. ### The SAVE Act and Citizen Involvement (18:13 - 20:07) Mitchell describes the introduction of the SAVE Act by Speaker [[Mike Johnson]], Representative [[Chip Roy]], and Senator [[Mike Lee]]. This act aims to ensure that only citizens are registered to vote by requiring states to obtain documentary proof of citizenship. Mitchell emphasizes the public support for this measure, with 87% of people wanting only citizens to vote. A website, [[Only Citizens Vote Coalition]], has been launched to provide resources and a toolkit for community involvement in ensuring election integrity. ### Historical and Current Non-Citizen Voting Issues (20:08 - 21:46) Bowers cites a 2014 study showing significant non-citizen voting in the 2008 election, with a majority voting for [[Barack Obama]]. He argues that the influx of millions of non-citizens in recent years exacerbates this issue. Mitchell concurs, noting that the left aims to use these populations to influence elections and dissolve national unity. She emphasizes the need for vigilance and legal measures to prevent such manipulation. ### Efforts to Ensure Clean Voter Rolls (21:47 - 24:13) Mitchell discusses the importance of maintaining clean voter rolls, a task that has faced significant resistance from the left. Despite hit pieces and attempts to discredit efforts to clean voter rolls, Mitchell and her team continue to push for accurate voter registration lists. She mentions the challenges they face, including restricted access to the [[National Change of Address (NCOA)]] data, which is crucial for identifying moved voters. ### Challenges with Voter Roll Accuracy and Fraud (24:13 - 25:32) The conversation highlights the problem of inaccurate voter rolls, especially in states like Nevada where every registered voter receives a mail-in ballot. Mitchell notes that fraudulent registrations and dirty voter rolls give the Democrats a margin to manipulate election outcomes. This systemic issue allows ballots to be sent to incorrect addresses, enabling potential fraud. ### Motivations for Illegal Voting and Legislative Gaps (25:33 - 26:57) Mitchell expresses concern about states with loose voter registration laws, where non-citizens can vote undetected. She explains that illegal immigrants have strong motivations to vote for candidates who promise to protect their status and provide benefits, making them a significant factor in elections. Bowers adds that this issue threatens the integrity of the electoral system and national unity. ### Influence of Charitable Organizations and Practical Actions (26:58 - 27:54) Mitchell recounts an investigation by the [[Heritage Foundation]], which found left-wing charitable organizations assisting migrants at the border and encouraging them to vote for [[Joe Biden]]. This illustrates the organized efforts to influence elections. Bowers and Mitchell discuss practical steps citizens can take to ensure election integrity, including involvement in local election processes and supporting legislative measures like the SAVE Act. ### Citizen Involvement in Election Oversight (27:59 - 31:16) Mitchell emphasizes the necessity of active citizen involvement in the election process, comparing it to the need for parental involvement in education. She introduces the Citizen's Guide, available for free at whosecounting.us, which provides instructions on how to participate in local election oversight. The website also offers training videos on forming local task forces, becoming poll workers, and monitoring the election process. Mitchell highlights the importance of equal representation of Democrats and Republicans as poll workers, noting that Democrats often fill Republican slots, and calls for conservatives to take these positions to ensure balanced oversight. ### Protecting Vulnerable Voters and Mail-In Ballot Oversight (31:17 - 32:26) Mitchell discusses the left's strategy of targeting vulnerable voters, such as those in group homes and nursing homes, to manipulate election outcomes. She stresses the need for citizen oversight in these areas, offering training on protecting these voters and understanding the role of mail-in ballots. Mitchell encourages citizens to be present, polite, and informed about the election process, emphasizing that their involvement is crucial to maintaining integrity. ### Mobilizing Citizens and the Importance of Involvement (32:26 - 33:27) Bowers urges listeners to take action by participating in training, watching instructional videos, and involving friends in the process. He believes that active participation will enhance prayer efforts and potentially lead to fairer elections. Bowers stresses the importance of doing one's part, regardless of the outcome, to maintain the integrity of the country. ### The Moral Responsibility of Citizenship (33:27 - 35:04) Mitchell underscores the moral responsibility of citizenship, viewing it as a God-given privilege to live in the United States. She describes the current political climate as an existential crisis and calls for citizens to stand up against those who want to undermine fundamental values. Drawing from biblical examples, Mitchell encourages listeners to take action with the faith that God will bless their efforts. ### Encouragement and Call to Action (35:04 - 37:03) Bowers thanks Mitchell for her efforts and resources, urging listeners to utilize the tools provided to make a difference in their communities. He emphasizes the importance of collective action and multiplying efforts by involving friends and family. Bowers believes that through active participation, there is hope for achieving a free and fair election. ### Final Thoughts and Weekly Verse (37:03 - 37:59) Bowers concludes the episode with a call to visit the recommended websites for resources and involvement opportunities. He shares a verse from Psalm 9:20, praying for divine intervention to expose deceit and bring about revival in the country.
