Unite4Freedom Sends a Request to the DOJ to Investigate Possible Federal Offenses

Before the 2026 election, Unite4Freedom filed a Notice of Violations and Demand for Corrective Action under the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) in 30 states, including Iowa. The Election Validity Scorecards summarize the violations.

Those notices were dismissed without substantive investigation or were ignored, even though free verification through the SAVE system was available-the Supreme Court cleared SAVE's expanded use on September 25, 2026.

After the election, a letter was sent to the Department of Justice asking the DOJ to investigate. The letter argues that officials who were told of specific records, chose not to check them, and then counted, certified or altered them, committed a knowing, willful violation of federal law.

Dickinson County Cast Vote Record Shows "Extremely Unlikely" Pattern in the Consecutive Vote Runs

The cast vote record (CVR) is a list of each ballot cast and how it was voted. An analysis by a cyber expert is a type of "replay" of the election. There is no personal identification of the voters.

Dickinson, 2020, is the only CVR of Iowa which the Secretary of State has allowed to be released to the public for any election since 2020.

In the analysis, the mail-in and in-person votes detect a possible "Mesa Pattern." The consecutive vote runs show "extremely unlikely" pattern.

View the complete Fingerprints of Fraud Report and the one-page Fingerprints of Fraud summary.
