Research that resonates.

0:05.7

Schweitzer has not been wrong on any of his years and years of reporting on the Biden's.

0:12.4

Investigations that matter.

0:14.4

If your last name wasn't Biden, do you think you would have been asked to be on the board of Burisma?

0:19.0

I don't know. I don't know. Probably not. But that's, you know, I don't think that there's a lot of things that would have happened in my life that if my last name wasn't fired. The only entities, the only people that would report on this, and Peter Schweizer, who deserves a medal of freedom in my view. This is The Drill Down with Peter Schweitzer.

Hi, this is Peter Schweitzer and welcome to the Drill Down, where we relentlessly expose cronyism,

0:44.5

corruption, and the abuse of power in Washington, D.C. Our co-pilot, as always, is Eric Eggers,

0:50.5

who's the vice president here at the Government Accountability Institute, and author of the book, Fraud, which is going to be particularly germane, because today we are

0:59.4

going to talk about the electoral system and fraud in the electoral system. Yes, we are in the

1:05.9

crazy season again, which are elections across the country. We're going through primaries. We've got a national

1:11.5

election coming up in November. And it always gets a little bit crazy. Eric, I was doing a little bit of

1:18.6

research on previous election outcomes and found some interesting facts. In 2018, there was a election

1:26.4

for the House of Delegates in Virginia that ended in a tie,

1:29.8

so they settled it by drawing names out of a ceramic bowl. In 2014, there was a city council

1:36.8

1:43.3

In 2006, there was a Democratic primary for the

1:46.8

House. It was settled by a coin toss. And back in the year 2000, I found this particularly

1:53.5

interesting. You remember the race for presidents in New Mexico between Al Gore and George W. Bush was settled by just 366 votes.

2:03.8

If that actually had been a tie, the state law required that the election to be decided by a

2:09.8

game of chance, such as a single hand of poker. So the craziness that we are experiencing

2:16.1

and likely to experience in the future is nothing new in the country. It's nothing new. You're absolutely right. Nor I have to say, is your latent narcissism? Because here I'm the one that wrote the book on election front. And yet you are doing this research and kind of going through all these stories. You don't see me here. Like, hey, here's a new thing I found about 100 Biden. No, I let that be your lane. I'm trying to glorify you. I'm just trying to light things up here. But you are in fact right.

2:39.1

We are fortunate to have you because you literally wrote a load book on election fraud, came out in
