Troy E. Nehls - The Big Fraud: What Democrats Dont Want You to Know about January 6, the 2020 Election, and a Whole Lot Else

Advance Praise for The Big Fraud

A Must Read for All Americans.

Donald J. Trump

My wife Debbie has known Troy Nehls for many years, and I met him through her. We both are super-fans of this guy. He was a terrific sheriff in Fort Bend County, Texas, and now he has brought that same practicality and bravery to Congress. This book is a candid and well-researched examination of the events surrounding the election through January 6th. Troy Nehls goes against the prevailing media narrative, which is concocted to advance the cause of the Democratic Left and makes a powerful stand here for fairness and for truth.

I dedicate this book to my older brother, Todd Nehls, who served our nation thirty-six years in the Wisconsin Army National Guard retiring with the rank of colonel. Todd also served his community in law enforcement for thirty-four years, with ten of those years as sheriff of Dodge County, Wisconsin. It was my brother Todd who inspired me to serve our nation twenty-two years in the Army Reserve and encouraged me to serve in law enforcement for thirty years, eight years as sheriff of Fort Bend County, Texas. Brother Todd, you are my hero!

A debt of gratitude to my mother Joyce Rasmussen, an incredible example of a loving parent. Brothers, Tim, Terry, Tyler, and twin brother Trever, sister Tammy Shaw, for always being there for me. Love You All!

TABLE OF CONTENTS

January 6, 2021. I was sworn in on January 3rd, so it was my third day in Congress. I went to the office knowing what I had to do. A few days before, I publicly announced my decision to object to the certification of Pennsylvanias and Arizonas electoral votes. I had no indication there was any serious threat to the Capitol, despite a staff bulletin from the House Administration Committee saying that only essential staff should come to work that day. One more COVID restriction, I thought. The main threat I was worried about was the one that endangered the integrity of our precious right to vote.

As a freshman congressman, I knew I would be facing significant criticism for questioning the validity of electoral votes, especially from the Democrats on the other side of the aisle. But I had to do what I thought was right.

Why? I was convinced there were massive and unprecedented voter irregularities and anomalies in Pennsylvania and Arizona, but also Wisconsin, Michigan, and Georgia. In many cases these irregularities were caused by intentional misconduct and illegal behavior. Indeed, on election day, there were numerous unexplained anomalies and irregularities involving hundreds of thousands of votes that have yet to be accounted for.

What kind of irregularities? There were electronic [voting] machines [that] transferred an unknown number of Trump votes to the Biden column. Some counties even locked out public observers from vote counting. Election records also show significantly more votes than voters in some precincts, and also voters casting more than one ballot. In one county, voter turnout was an improbable and highly suspect 98.55 percent, and after 100 percent of the precincts were reported, an additional 19,000 extra votes were recorded for Joseph Biden. There were counties that allowed for irregular marking of ballots and failed to secure and store ballots and machinery, and counties which prevented witnesses for candidates from observing the various aspects of the recount.

Whoever would ultimately win, I knew the outcome cannot be certain as long as legitimate questions remain and valid ballots are being counted, and so it was imperative that we examine any and all factors that may have led to voting irregularities and any failure of votes to be properly counted.

Youre probably wondering why there are quotation marks in the paragraphs you just read. These are not my words in quotes, but come from the January 6, 2005, Congressional Record . They are the words of the Democrat Party concerning the 2004 election of Republican George Bush over Democrat John Kerry. (Of course, I did substitute Trump and Biden for Bush and Kerry in the quotes.) Democrats back then were officially objecting to counting the electoral votes of Ohio, just as we Republicans were now (exactly sixteen years later to the day) objecting to counting the electoral votes of Pennsylvania and Arizona.

Complaints look familiar, dont they? The kinds of accusations the Democrats were making about voting irregularities back then seem almost identical to those made by Republicans in regard to the 2020 election. It was no more un-American or anti-democratic for me to object in January of 2021 than it was for Democrats in January of 2005 (and that wasnt the only election results Democrats challenged).

Those complaints make clear these kinds of things do happen, and as well see in a later chapter, they happened a lot in 2020. But whenever and wherever they happen, one thing is clear: we all need to support election integrityboth parties, every American.

But again, it seemed to me, whatever Republicans may have done in the past, the massive number of reported irregularities favoring the Democrats in the 2020 election were unprecedented.

And thats why I decided to object to the electoral votes on my third day in Congress. I could see many of my colleagues were nervous. As a freshman in the House, I certainly was. Im not a career politician. Ive spent my life in law enforcement (most recently, as the sheriff of Fort Bend County in Richmond, TX), and in the military as a member of the National Guard, and then the Army Reserve.

One way or another, we would all face some kind of political backlash, whatever we did, and as a new congressman, I thought I might get more than my share. But that wasnt going to deter me from doing what I knew was right, and I wasnt alone. There were a record number of objectors: six Republicans in the Senate and 121 Republicans in the House.

Just to put those numbers in perspective, in 2001 a handful of Democrats in the House officially objected to the election of George Bush, but no Democrat senators joined them. (And so, given the rules, if at least one senator and one representative do not formally object, the Joint Session of Senate and House then go on to certify the electoral votes.) In the 2005 objection I quoted from above, only one Democrat senator would officially object, and in the consequent voting, only thirty-one Democrats in the House voted against certification. In 2017, House Democrats objected to the electoral votes of Donald Trump, but again, no Democrat senator would join them. It was a big jump from these numbers to six senators and 121 members of the House in January 2021.
