NEW YORK (AP) ? The Democratic primary for mayor of New York City was thrown into a state of confusion Tuesday when election officials retracted their latest report on the vote count after realizing it had been corrupted by test data never cleared from a computer system.

The bungle was a black mark on New York City?s first major foray into ranked choice voting and seemed to confirm worries that the city?s Board of Elections, which is jointly run by Democrats and Republicans, was unprepared to implement the new system.

The disarray began as evening fell, when the board abruptly withdrew data it had released earlier in the day purporting to be a first round of results from the ranked choice system.

That data had indicated that Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, a former police captain who would be the city?s second Black mayor, had lost much of his lead and was ahead of former sanitation commissioner Kathryn Garcia by fewer than 16,000 votes.

Then the Board of Elections tweeted that it was aware of ?a discrepancy? in its report on ranked choice voting results. It didn?t initially explain what that discrepancy was, even as it pulled the data from its website.

The stampede away from Trump?s voting-machine claims continues apace, as legal liability looms for allies

July 12, 2021|Updated today at 11:51 a.m. EDT

Among the many wild conspiracy theories about the 2020 election, few rank as high when it comes to both baselessness and reach as those involving voting machines. The theory that voting machines were programmed to steal the election from then-President Donald Trump had the benefit, while being utterly without merit, of at least being simple and easy for people to grasp.

Unfortunately for its proponents, these theories carried one very significant drawback: legal liability. While broad claims of voter fraud are relatively unspecific and involve many potential perpetrators, there are relatively few voting-machine companies. Claiming such things means impugning them specifically and creating a situation in which your claims can lead to calculable personal and business harm, which is important when it comes to suing someone for defamation. Such claims have also saddled lawyers pushing them with potential professional sanctions.

The result: Many if not most of the high-profile purveyors of such claims have since backed off.

One by one, they?ve succumbed to legal pressure by issuing corrections, clarifications or apologies. And those continue through today, with Fox News and pro-Trump lawyer L. Lin Wood both distancing themselves from such claims over the past 24 hours.

On Sunday, Fox News ran an unusual disclaimer during Trump?s speech to the Conservative Political Action Conference in Dallas making clear voting-machine companies have denied his allegations.

?The voting system companies have denied the various allegations made by President Trump and his counsel regarding the 2020 election,? the chyron said.

What was particularly interesting about this is that Trump didn?t even specifically cite voting machines. He instead referred obliquely to the idea of malfeasance on election night, saying he had done so well ?that they just said the hell with it, let it go.?

But despite the lack of a specific claim, 10 seconds later the chyron popped up. The episode seemed to reinforce the perceived liability involved. (Fox has filed motions to dismiss lawsuits against it brought by the two voting-machine companies at-issue, Dominion and Smartmatic.)

Similarly, on Monday, Wood told a federal judge in Michigan that he was not involved in a far-flung lawsuit filed in that state that involved voting machines ? despite his name appearing in court documents. ?I just didn?t have anything to do with this,? Wood said during a hearing on potential legal sanctions for him and other lawyers who pushed false claims.

Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson (D) summarized Wood?s claim sarcastically: ?Strong argument to make when one believes in the strength and righteousness of their case.?

While some true believers of these theories viewed these lawsuits as opportunities to prove malfeasance once and for all, through the discovery process, those facing penalties have repeatedly left them high and dry ? almost as if these theories were completely baseless in the first place and they didn?t have a leg to stand on.

Below is a timeline of how such claims against both Dominion and Smartmatic have been effectively disowned by those disseminating them.

Dec. 18-20: Fox News and Fox Business Network run a deposition-esque segment featuring an expert dismissing various voting-machine claims on three shows that had featured such claims, after Smartmatic issued a legal demand letter. (Fox would later sideline a host of one of the shows, Lou Dobbs, despite his show being the highest-rated one on FBN.)

Dec. 20-21: Newsmax posts a statement, which a host reads on-air, clarifying that the channel has not proved such claims, while arguing that it also hadn?t stated the claims as true.

Feb. 2: Newsmax attempts to stop MyPillow CEO and Trump supporter Mike Lindell from making claims about Dominion during an interview. A host reads a legal disclaimer while talking over Lindell and later walking off the set when Lindell refused to yield. ?We just want to let people know that there?s nothing substantive that we have seen,? the host says.

Jan. 15: The right-wing American Thinker blog issues a full-throated apology and retraction of voting-machine stories written by four authors, calling the sources behind them ?discredited? and saying their ?statements are completely false and have no basis in fact.?

Jan. 20: It is reported that One America News, despite criticizing its competitor Newsmax for caving to legal pressure, removed a number of stories about voting machines from its website, without formally retracting them.

Feb. 1: In a New York Times story, Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel acknowledges that she worried about legal liability from the RNC hosting a news conference in which Trump lawyers Rudolph W. Giuliani and Sidney Powell made various unproven claims about the election.

Feb. 4: WABC, the radio station that hosts Giuliani?s show, runs a disclaimer distancing itself from claims made on his show. Giuliani says he was unaware the disclaimer would be aired, labeling it ?rather insulting.?

Feb. 5: While airing Lindell?s documentary, OAN runs an extensive disclaimer. Despite Lindell claiming ?absolute proof? ? and that being the actual title of the documentary ? OAN says claims in the documentary ?are not intended to be taken or interpreted by the viewer as established facts.?

March 22: Powell files a motion to dismiss Dominion?s lawsuit against her. But rather than standing by her claims, she says that ?reasonable people? wouldn?t take them as fact and that she was merely acting as a legal advocate. This despite Powell having said repeatedly that she had irrefutable proof backing up her claims, frequently labeling the release of such information the ?Kraken.?

April 28: A lawsuit brought by eight voters claiming a massive conspiracy involving Dominion and various state officials is dismissed. A judge dismisses the case because the plaintiffs didn?t have standing to bring it, but also notes there are myriad reasons to dismiss the case and adds that the plaintiffs ?have voluntarily dismissed the claims against the various state officials? in the alleged conspiracy.

April 30: Newsmax releases a statement apologizing to Eric Coomer, a top official at Dominion Voting Systems, who filed a lawsuit against Newsmax in December. The channel disowns claims made about Coomer that he interfered with voting machines and had ties to antifa. ?Newsmax subsequently found no evidence that such allegations were true,? the apology says. ?Many of the states whose results were contested by the Trump campaign after the November 2020 election have conducted extensive recounts and audits, and each of these states certified the results as legal and final.?

May 18: In a court filing in Dominion?s lawsuit in Delaware, Fox News claims it was merely presenting the allegations and that it covered them critically.

June 12: Newsmax again issues a statement distancing itself from Lindell?s claims after Lindell attacks its coverage. ?Newsmax has reported aggressively on President Trump and his campaign?s allegations, but any conclusions we make must be backed up by actual evidence of wrongdoing,? Newsmax said. ?Our job is to report the facts as we know them, and that will make some folks unhappy.?

June 24: A federal judge challenges Powell?s lawyer about Powell?s claim to have video evidence of Dominion?s founder saying his technology could change a million votes. (The video was never produced.) ?You?ve conceded there is no such video,? the judge said. Powell?s attorney Howard Kleinhendler, though, declines to confirm or deny the existence of such a video. ?I don?t want to concede anything,? Kleinhendler says.

July 11: Fox runs a disclaimer during Trump?s CPAC speech stating, ?The voting system companies have denied the various allegations made by President Trump and his counsel regarding the 2020 election.?

July 12: Wood claims he had nothing to do with the Michigan lawsuit, despite having said previously that he was indeed involved.

BREAKING: President Donald J. Trump Releases Statement on the Massive Fraud Uncovered by the Arizona Election Audit ?July 15,2021?
?July 15,2021?

Statement by Donald J. Trump,
45th President of the United
States of America

Arizona Senate hearings on the Maricopa County
Election Audit is devastating news to the Radical
Left Democrats and the Biden Administration.
While this, according to the Senate, is
preliminary, with results being announced at a
later date, it seems that 74,243 Mail-In Ballots
were counted with "no clear record of them
being sent." There were 18,000 voters who were
scrubbed from the voter rolls AFTER the
election. They also revealed that the voting
system was breached or hacked (by who?). Very
big printer and ballot problems with different
paper used, etc., and MUCH MORE.
The irregularities revealed at the hearing today
amount to hundreds of thousands of votes or,
many times what is necessary for us to have
won. Despite these massive numbers, this is the
State that Fox News called early for a Biden
victory. There was no victory here, or in any
other of the Swing States either.

Maricopa County refuses to work together with
the Senate and others who are merely looking
for honesty, integrity, and transparency. Why do
the Commissioners not want to look into this
corrupted election? What are they trying to
hide? The highly respected State Senator Wendy
Rogers said in a tweet the hearing today means
we must decertify the election. In any event, the
Senate patriots are moving forward with final
results to be announced in the not-too-distant
future, but based on today?s hearing, why even
wait?

Nine attorneys aligned with former President Donald Trump who filed an unsuccessful lawsuit challenging Michigan's 2020 presidential election results will have to pay financial penalties and face other punitive actions for their legal effort, a federal judge ruled on Wednesday.
"This lawsuit represents a historic and profound abuse of the judicial process," U.S. District Judge Linda Parker wrote in her scathing decision on the case.
"It is one thing to take on the charge of vindicating rights associated with an
allegedly fraudulent election," she wrote. "It is another to take on the charge of deceiving a federal court and the American people into believing that rights were infringed, without regard to whether any laws or rights were in fact violated. This is what happened here."

The ruling stems from a lawsuit brought by the attorneys ? including Trump backers Sidney Powell and Lin Wood ? which sought to decertify Michigan's election results under the false pretense that ballots had been manipulated in Joe Biden's favor.

Parker received a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1980 from the University of Michigan. She received a Juris Doctor in 1983 from George Washington University Law School. From 1983 to 1985, she served as a law clerk to the District of Columbia Superior Court. She worked as a staff attorney at the United States Environmental Protection Agency from 1985 to 1989. From 1989 to 1994, she worked at the Detroit law firm of Dickinson Wright, becoming a partner in 1992. From 1994 to 2000, she served as an Executive Assistant United States Attorney in the Eastern District of Michigan. She served as Director of the Michigan Department of Civil Rights from 2003 to 2008. Beginning in 2009, she served as a Judge of the Third Judicial Circuit Court of Michigan.[1][2]

Federal judicial service
On July 25, 2013, President Barack Obama nominated Parker to serve as a United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, to the seat vacated by Judge Robert Hardy Cleland, who took senior status on March 1, 2013.[1] On January 16, 2014, her nomination was reported out of committee.[3] A cloture vote was held on Tuesday, March 11, 2014, on the Parker nomination; cloture was invoked by a vote of 56?42. On Wednesday, March 12, 2014, the full United States Senate voted 60?37 for final confirmation.[4] She received her judicial commission on March 17, 2014.[2] Her primary chambers are in Detroit.[5]

In December 2020 she heard a lawsuit brought by attorneys for then-president Donald Trump, attempting to reverse the Michigan results for the 2020 U.S. presidential election, one of the so-called "Kraken" suits. Parker dismissed the suit, saying it was full of "theories, conjecture and speculation" and adding that "the people of Michigan have spoken."[6] In July 2021 she ordered all the attorneys who had argued Trump's case to appear before her, as she considered whether to impose sanctions on the attorneys for arguing that Trump had won the election and presenting evidence that she said they had not evaluated for accuracy.[7] On August 25, 2021, Parker ruled that "plaintiff's counsel filed this in bad faith and for an improper purpose", demanding that the attorneys, including Sidney Powell and Lin Wood, pay the legal fees of some of the defendants in the suit, and that they be referred to their respective state bars for disciplinary action.[8]
