Lawfare, Election Integrity, and the Fight for Constitutional Freedom

On February 27, 2024, John Eastman and Kevin Lundberg joined the show.

Defending Legal Advocacy Against Lawfare Tactics

Start listening at 1:36:13 – Hour 2

John Eastman, constitutional scholar and former clerk for Justice Clarence Thomas, discusses his ongoing California bar disciplinary proceeding. Eastman characterizes the case as the most expensive and longest bar disciplinary proceeding in history, noting that his defense team presented what may be the most comprehensive evidentiary case about the 2020 election assembled anywhere.

Eastman reveals that the 65 Project, one of the groups bringing bar complaints against attorneys nationwide, has openly stated their goal is to make lawyers so toxic in their firms and communities that right-wing legal talent will never bring election challenges again. He warns this strategy will destroy the adversarial system of justice and embolden fraudsters in future elections.

“We are in the fight for our lifetime, the likes of which we’ve only seen a couple of times in our nation’s history, and we have an opportunity to defend freedom, to fight for freedom, and pass on something to our children and grandchildren that if we don’t fight, we won’t be able to continue to have.”

– John Eastman, Constitutional Scholar

Drawing parallels to George Orwell’s 1984 on its 75th anniversary, Eastman describes how citizens are now expected to accept government pronouncements without question, regardless of their accuracy. He notes the chilling effect on legal representation, observing that major law firms increasingly refuse to take controversial cases for fear of professional and personal consequences.

Mail-In Ballot Fraud and Colorado’s Election Vulnerabilities

Start listening at 17:48 – Hour 1

Kevin Lundberg, former Colorado State Senator and author of the Lundberg Report, examines the systematic vulnerabilities in Colorado’s mail-in ballot system. Citing a Heartland Institute and Rasmussen study, Lundberg reveals that one in five mail-in voters admitted to committing some form of ballot fraud in the 2020 election.

Lundberg traces Colorado’s election integrity challenges back to House Bill 1303 in 2013, which established universal mail-in ballots. He recounts warning colleagues on the Senate floor about problems Washington state experienced after adopting similar systems. The former senator highlights how college students registering at dorm addresses create persistent vulnerabilities, as ballots continue being mailed to addresses long after students relocate.

“There’s only one real effective way for good verification of the voter, and that is that the voter shows up with a photo ID from a verified source. Like your driver’s license here in Colorado is a pretty good source of identification of who you are, or a passport or something like that.”

– Kevin Lundberg, Former Colorado State Senator

Lundberg critiques Colorado’s signature verification process, explaining that county officials can arbitrarily adjust automated rejection thresholds. He notes that modern signature variations on electronic keypads have rendered signature verification largely meaningless. Despite these concerns, Lundberg emphasizes that citizens must continue voting to overwhelm any attempted fraud with legitimate ballots.
